Merkley’s filibuster challenge must wait

SALEM — Spurred by the battle over destination resorts once slated for the Metolius River basin, a state senator from Portland hopes to bring life into a new, smaller breed of resorts.

Over the last year, state Sen. Jackie Dingfelder, D-Portland, has hosted about a dozen meetings of a work group that includes development interests, environmentalists and public officials. The group is focused on revamping Oregon’s unique destination resort law, a law that has impacted Central Oregon — home to developments like Pronghorn and Black Butte — more than any other region.

A ROOST WITH A VIEW

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley’s plans to force an overhaul of the arcane U.S. Senate rulebook will have to wait a few weeks, thanks to a strange quirk of the chamber’s conventions.

Merkley, along with Sens. Tom Udall, D-N.M., and Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, introduced a resolution on We d n e s d a y that’s designed to allow for more debate between the two parties.

Their resolution stems from the growing trend of using filibusters as a delaying tactic — even on bills that have enough support to pass with 60 votes. And although the members have seen support for their package grow over the past several weeks, Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., pushed back against the plan.

Dozens of people have written in to the Deschutes National Forest, voicing often-vehement opinions on whether dogs should be allowed in ski areas north of the Cascade Lakes Highway.

Currently, in the Cascade Lakes Highway area, dogs are allowed south of the highway on trails from Wanoga Sno-park and Edison Butte Sno-park.

Last summer, Bend Fort-Rock District Ranger Shane Jeffries said the Bend-based DogPAC nonprofit approached the U.S. Forest Service with the idea of grooming some cross-country ski trails within the Tangent Loop, including the Nordeen Loop, near Swampy Lakes Sno-park, and opening the area up to skiers with dogs off-leash.

Osprey nest gets cleaning

Conservative scientists take on deniers of climate change

to the Deschutes River in Bend.

McClatchy Tribune News Service

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — According to the conventional wisdom that liberals accept climate change and conservatives don’t, Kerry Emanuel is an oxymoron.

Emanuel sees himself as a conservative. He believes marriage is between a man and a woman.

He backs a strong military. He almost always votes Republican and admires Ronald Reagan.

Emanuel is also a highly regarded professor of atmospheric science at MIT. And based on his work on hurricanes and the research of his peers, Emanuel has concluded that the scientific data show a powerful link between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

‘Irish Giant’ had gene mutation

By Gina Kolata New York Times News Service

He was a giant of a man, 7 feet 7 inches tall, who left his home in Ireland when he was 19 and traveled to London to make his fortune as a freak. There Charles Byrne, known as the Irish Giant, garnered wealth and fame. But, suffering from tuberculosis and an excessive love of gin, he died a few years later, in 1783. A surgeon — John Hunter — bought Byrne’s corpse, boiled it in acid to remove the flesh and exhibited the skeleton in his museum in London.

And there the bones remained, studied in 1909 by renowned U.S. surgeon Harvey Cushing, who removed the top of the skull and pronounced that Byrne had had a pituitary tumor. Other than that, Byrne remained a curiosity, a famous giant, the subject of a 2007 novel by British writer Hilary Mantel, yet, with only a skeleton remaining, of little interest to science.

Until now: Researchers in Britain and Germany have extracted DNA from Byrne’s teeth and solved the mystery of his excessive height.

Bird lovers hope a cleaned nest near the Colo-

Pacific Power lineman Bob Nelson maneuvered a cherrypicker Wednesday to allow Keeton & King contractor Tim Keeton to chisel out debris and replace sticks to make the nest more attractive to the migratory osprey.

“The nest needs to be able to drain properly,” said David Dobkin, the executive director of the High Desert Ecological Research Institute, who has an office overlooking the nest. And placing new sticks in the nest, he said, is a way to encourage the birds to think that the Colorado site is a prime place to nest.

“It’s been a very productive nest over the years,” Dobkin said.

But last year, the osprey by the Colorado Street bridge did not have any chicks.

Typically, the male osprey will arrive at a site first, and then a week or two later females show up and the male starts courting them. Last year, however, a female arrived at the nest first.

And even though a male joined her later, he didn’t hang around the nest as frequently as most males do, Dobkin said. He suspects that the male osprey also paired up with a different female upstream.

School for deaf tackles bullying

By Carol Polsky Newsday

MELVILLE, N.Y. — When a deaf student bullies another using sign language, one insult hits deepest: the one meaning “you’re worthless, you’re nothing.”

The phrase is expressed in sign by wiggling both hands at hip level with index fingers and thumbs forming a circle, the other fingers outstretched. Teachers at the Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf in Nassau County, N.Y., know to look out for it.

Last year, they began to notice students reacting oddly to the sign for tiger — a sweeping gesture of the fingers from nose to forehead. Students looked hurt as if they’d been told they were worthless. In fact, they had — the sign for tiger had become the code word for the insult.

“The kids knew if they were caught bullying, they could get suspended or another consequence,” said Principal Kathleen Kerzner, whom students call Miss Katie. “Even though we got really good at catching the bully, it wasn’t changing the behavior.

The kids just changed the signs and gave them new meanings.”

Bullying is a harsh fact of school life, whether in a large socially stratified high school or here, in a small, supportive school for deaf and hearing-impaired students. Studies show students with disabilities are at higher risk for being bullied and some may also be at risk to become bullies. Administrators have recognized the need to create schoolwide cultures where

“Bullying has been going on forever,” Kerzner said. “Everything that goes on in any other school goes on here.”

This fall, Mill Neck Manor embarked on a six-week antibullying campaign involving its 120 students, from preschool to high school, who study in buildings on the wooded grounds of an old mansion near Long Island Sound.

Students participated in skits, role-playing and storytelling.

They made anti-bullying posters and banners and wore “Be a Buddy, Not a Bully” T-shirts. Older students mentored younger students. Some played games and

socialized with the sometimesisolated autistic deaf students.

They signed cards pledging not to bully, competed to make the best short film about bullying, wrote poems and created art.

In the preschool classes, students identified bullies in classic fairy tales (the wolf, the stepsisters) and earned colored sticks when they were especially nice to each other.

The campaign’s purpose, Kerzner said, was to find out how students experience and understand bullying in order to develop an appropriate plan of action.

“It’s like professional development of staff — to make a difference it has to be ongoing,” she

said. “It has to become part of the culture of the school.”

For students, the school has a “big responsibility to explain a lot of things that are happening around them that no one else can explain to them,” Kerzner said, noting hearingimpaired children may live in families and cultures that do not understand sign language.

On a recent day near the end of the six-week campaign, Johan Sanchez and other seniors arrived at the classroom of fifth- and sixth-graders.

The older students enacted scenes of hurtful behavior and the “right” way and the “wrong” way for bystanders to behave. Then the younger students played the roles, with much giggling and enthusiasm. At the end, they signed cards pledging not to bully.

This year’s seniors were not bullies, Kerzner said, “and I’m asking them to help make a change. ... It’s a moment in time that’s beautiful and I’m grabbing it.”

In past years, Mill Neck Manor dealt with bullying as many other schools do, with occasional assemblies and social education lessons, but more often by reactively addressing individual incidents.

“We realized kids were reporting problems, but the problem was still there,” Kerzner said. “I wanted the problem not to be there. I want the kids to come to school and feel safe and be in a situation where they can learn.”

Experts look beyond coursework to identify ‘college-ready’ skills

By Sarah D. Sparks Education Week

WASHINGTON — As federal pressure intensifies to ensure students graduate ready for college and careers, researchers are beginning to go beyond identifying the subject-matter classes students need to succeed after high school and home in on the cognitive and noncognitive skills that also contribute to success.

College and career readiness has become a hot political topic for education under the Obama administration. The president has set a national goal to have the highest proportion of collegeeducated adults in the world by 2020, and it’s one of the four guiding goals of the economic-stimulus package’s education grants.

Yet at the same time, research shows an average of two out of five traditional college students and more than half of nontraditional ones will take at least one remedial class, and higher education administrators report incoming students frequently are not equipped to cope with the greater academic, financial and social responsibilities of college and work.

More and more, research shows young people need the same cognitive and social-emotional skills to complete school and progress in the workplace. Those skills

can be taught and tested like any other subject in school.

“The problem is college eligibility was what we focused on previously, not readiness; we haven’t really defined what ‘readiness’ means,” said Elena Silva, a senior policy analyst with Education Sector, a Washington think tank, at the Building a Better Student research seminar held in Washington last month. “We focused on whether they have the course credits, the time spent ... and that’s important, but we haven’t figured out if they have what they need to be really college-ready,” she said. Students are “getting through high school graduation and even then, they’re not ready.”

While 43 states, Washington and the U.S. Virgin Islands have adopted the common-core academic standards as a benchmark for helping students to be considered ready for college or work, research also points to five key noncognitive indicators that a student will need to be able to complete college and become successfully employed, according to Paul Sackett, a psychology professor at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Across education and industry, research shows the biggest predictor of success is a student’s conscientiousness, as measured

by such traits as dependability, perseverance through tasks and work ethic. Agreeableness, including teamwork, and emotional stability were the next-best predictors of college achievement, followed by variations on extroversion and open-

ness to new experiences, Sackett found.

“If you take a close look at these commercial tests (given during job interviews), they are compound traits of the top three traits” predicting posthigh school success, he said.

Darrell Fasching planned to keep teaching religious studies at the University of South Florida until he was offered a year’s salary of about $90,000 to retire and give up tenure rights earned over almost three decades at the school.

Fasching, 66, took the cash and left the Tampa campus Dec. 21, joining hundreds of professors at flagship universities from Illinois to Nebraska and Texas who have been coaxed into retirement with offers of as much as two years’ pay to reduce operating costs.

Tenured teacher pay averages $117,000 a year at the top 200 public universities, according to figures from the Washington-based American Association of University Professors. Annual contracts for replacement instructors cost an average of $52,500, the group said an April report.

With the Center for Budget & Policy Priorities in Washington forecasting states will face fiscal 2012 deficits totaling $140 billion, “these buyouts will become more common,” said Roger Meiners, who teaches economics at the University of Texas at Arlington.

“Most states have horrific budget problems and they haven’t dealt with the kinds of cuts in higher education that are going to be necessary,” he said in a telephone interview.

State support for colleges and universities fell 3.5 percent to $75.2 billion in fiscal 2010, following a similar drop in 2009, according to figures from the Center for the Study of Education Policy at Illinois State University in Normal.

“Enrollment meanwhile continued to grow even faster, in some states by more than 10 percent,” said Paul Lingenfelter, president of Boulder, Colo.-based State Higher Education Executive Officers, in an analysis posted on the association’s website. “Severe budget shortfalls and unmet educational needs are reaching crisis proportions, and budget reductions are continuing” in some states, Lingenfelter said.

Nationwide, state spending for each full-time student fell 5 percent in the past academic year and 9 percent the year before, the College Board said in an Oct. 28 report. Tuition and fees for instate students at four-year public schools rose an average of 7.9 percent this academic year to about $7,600, it said. Costs have risen 5.6 percent annually through the past decade, after inflation, the New York-based nonprofit said.

Texas A&M University in College Station convinced 104 professors to retire, said Karan Watson, the interim provost. At the University of Texas in Austin, 27 of 88 eligible professors in the College of Liberal Arts accepted buyouts totaling two years of salary, said Gary Susswein, a spokesman.

The buyouts may save the schools more than $15 million a year, based on average salaries for the departing educators of about $89,000 at Texas and $120,000 at Texas A&M.

T S Obama close to filling staff in shake-up

Taking charge, GOP overhauls House rules

By Carl Hulse

By Jeff Zeleny and Jackie Calmes

New York Times News Service

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Jubilant Republicans took control of the House on Wednesday and installed Rep. John Boehner of Ohio as the new speaker before pushing through an overhaul of House rules intended to ease their drive to dismantle the new health care law, cut federal spending and provide the tax cuts they see as a way to jump-start the economy.

In the Senate, tensions over the partisan stalemate that dominated the last session spilled over into the opening of the 112th Congress as a coalition of Democrats threatened to try to force changes that would reduce filibusters and other procedural snags that have slowed the pace of legislation the past two years.

The convening of the new Congress and the first day of divided government in Washington since President Barack Obama’s inauguration two years ago was largely one of ceremony, posturing and such preliminary procedural skirmishes. But it set the stage for partisan and ideological clashes on the size and role of government and a wide array of other issues as the nation struggles to rebuild economic momentum, confront its rapidly growing debt and manage complex security threats.

After accepting an oversize gavel from the departing Democratic speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Boehner promised to run the chamber in a more inclusive and businesslike way. But mindful of demands by new tea

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama closed in Wednesday on a decision to fill two top positions and recharge his administration, stopping just short of naming a new chief of staff and a top economic adviser to guide the White House through a new period of divided government.

William Daley, who was commerce secretary in the Clinton administration, visited the West Wing to meet with the president and other advisers for a final series of discussions about serving as chief of staff. He has told associates that he would accept the job if it is offered to him, and administration officials said Obama was favoring him.

Gene Sperling, a counselor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, was expected to be named Friday as director of the National Economic Council, the top economic policy job inside the White House. He also held the position in the Clinton administration.

The moves, if they are finalized by the president, would signal an effort to bring on experienced Washington hands with records of bipartisan deal-making as the White House faces the realities of a Republican-controlled House, a slimmer Democratic majority in the Senate and a resurgent grassroots conservative movement.

The White House also announced Wednesday that Robert Gibbs, the press secretary and a close confidant to Obama, was stepping down to become an outside political adviser to the president and his re-election campaign.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Floodwaters appeared to be at or near their peak across much of tropical, northeastern Australia on Wednesday, with inundations affecting 40 towns and cities, as an army general was named to lead efforts to cope with the disaster.

In the coastal city of Rockhampton, where hundreds of homes have been submerged and more than 100 people are living in evacuation centers, floodwaters reached a long anticipated peak as the Fitzroy River surged to around 30 feet, said Paul Birch, a senior hydrologist at the Bureau of Meteorology.

“I think it’s up there for another week,” he said.

In other areas of the state, waters continued to rise although predicted rains proved too light

to worsen the crisis, Birch said.

Maj. Gen. Mick Slater was appointed at an emergency meeting of the cabinet of the flood-hit state of Queensland to lead a task force to cope with the recovery.

“This is a disaster on an unprecedented scale and it is going to take an unprecedented, sustained effort to rebuild regional Queensland,” Anna Bligh, the state premier, told reporters at a news conference. “Maj. Gen. Mick Slater is an outstanding Queenslander, and I am pleased that he has agreed to lead the Flood Recovery Taskforce.”

Flooding is a seasonal norm in Queensland, but this year’s deluges have been broader than usual.

“We’ve had big floods before,” Bligh said in an interview with ABC, Australia’s public broadcaster. “We’re a tropical state.

But we’ve never had them over so

party Republicans for decisive action to cut spending and rein in what they see as an overactive government, he set the House on a course to repeal the health law, take a deep bite out of this year’s budget and investigate the administration’s handling of at least a half-dozen big issues over the past two years.

“The people voted to end business as usual, and today we begin to carry out their instructions,” Boehner told his assembled colleagues, referring to the election sweep that carried Republicans back to power in the House.

Boehner said that excessive and wasteful federal spending had caught up with the nation and warned that “hard work and tough decisions will be required

many towns, so many cities, and had so much public infrastructure at risk because of the size of the area.”

More than 200,000 people have been affected since a cyclone brought heavy rains to Queensland in December.

Rains and floodwaters have destroyed vital food crops, raising the possibility of additional pressure on rising global food prices.

The floods also forced much of the state’s mining industry to a halt. The Queensland Resources Council has estimated that the crisis has cost the coal export industry at least $1 billion.

Analysts predict the disaster will induce a global increase in prices for coal for both steelmaking and power generation.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has promised millions of dollars in federal assistance to flood victims.

Coffee spill in cockpit Ivory Coast leader’s rival causes flight diversion still blockaded

By Rob Gillies

The Associated Press

By Adam Nossiter New York Times News Service

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — Laundry hangs from balconies, beer bottles remain in the lobby, officials emerge unshaven from darkened corridors after lengthy but inconclusive meetings and a tent city full of T-shirted U.N. soldiers has sprung up on the steamy grounds of this hotel.

This is the Hotel du Golf, the alternate seat of government of this West African nation.

For weeks, this shabby resort on a filthy lagoon has been the headquarters of Alassane Ouattara, the man who governments around the world say defeated the incumbent, Laurent Gbagbo, in a presidential election Nov. 28.

But it remains blockaded, even after West African diplomats announced this week that they had received promises from Gbagbo to lift a three-week siege of this increasingly disheveled-looking hotel.

TORONTO — A pilot’s spilled coffee accidentally triggered a hijacking alert and caused a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany, to make an unscheduled stop in Canada.

A Transport Canada report said United Flight 940 was diverted to Toronto late Monday and landed safely at Pearson International Airport. In a twist reminiscent of the plot of the 1964 Glenn Ford movie “Fate Is the Hunter,” the coffee spill caused distress signals to go out, including code 7500, which means hijacking or unlawful interference.

The report says Canada’s defense department was notified, but that with the help of United dispatch staff the flight crew confirmed it to be a communication issue and not a hijacking.

The report on Transport Canada’s website said the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration reported that United’s corporate office had indicated

that the pilot “had inadvertently squawked a 7500 code after spilling coffee on the aircraft’s radio equipment, which interfered with the communications equipment.”

“The flight crew had advised that they had communication problems and subsequently reported that they had some navigation problems as well and from there the pilot in the command diverted the flight onto Toronto,” Maryse Durette, a Transport Canada spokeswoman, said Wednesday.

United spokesman Rahsaan Johnson acknowledged Wednesday that one of three cockpit crew members caused the mishap by spilling a drink.

“It was a beverage. During light turbulence one of the crew members’ beverages spilled, which then caused issues with the airplanes communications equipment,” Johnson said.

Johnson said the crew was in contact with air traffic control throughout. He said that the pilot elected to divert the flight rather than cross the Atlantic Ocean while experiencing a communications problem.

of the 112th Congress.

“No longer can we fall short,” he said. “No longer can we kick the can down the road.”

In order to reverse what they say is a congressional process tilted toward spending increases, the new Republican majority in the House — over strong Democratic objections — approved rules that would require spending increases to be directly offset with cuts elsewhere. But the rules would allow future tax cuts to be enacted without offsetting spending reductions and would permit repeal of the health care legislation, which was estimated to save the government more than $140 billion over 10 years, without any requirement that those revenue losses be made up elsewhere.

Tribal violence in Jordan curbed

By Ranya Kadri and Borzou Daragahi Los Angeles Times

AMMAN, Jordan — Security forces imposed a clampdown and officials warned troublemakers of consequences as calm was restored Wednesday in southern Jordan after several days of tribal violence.

The clashes began Monday in Maan province following the death of two people during a fight among workers at a water project, official media reported. The troubles quickly escalated into a wider dispute between rival clans and widespread rioting.

The independent Ammon News website quoted a secu-

rity source Wednesday as saying that 50 people had been arrested so far. Several had been injured.

Maan has long been a hotbed of tribal disputes. Interior Minister Saad Hayel Sorrour on Tuesday insisted that a fresh deployment of security forces had restored order in the southern city.

But the unrest could be a sign of broader problems for Jordan, a U.S.-backed monarchy that along with Egypt is among only two Arab states that have full diplomatic ties to neighboring Israel.

Security guard says Jackson doctor ordered him to remove evidence

Giant Continued from A1 It turned out to be a rare and mysterious gene mutation, discovered only in 2006. The researchers then found the mutation in four families from Northern Ireland, near where Byrne was born.

Following a hunch, they decided to ask whether Byrne had had the mutation, too, and whether the mutation indicated that the four families were related to him.

Their hunch was right.

The group, led by Dr. Marta Korbonits, professor of endocrinology and metabolism at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, reports its finding in Thursday’s issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.

Symptom-producing pituitary tumors are rare, and those caused by an inherited mutated gene are rarer still. At most only 5 percent of people with them have pituitary adenomas — tumors — in their families.

The tumors can lead to disfigurement — patients develop bulging foreheads and large jaws, hands and feet — and chronic severe headaches. They can also cause visual problems, because the tumor presses on the optic nerve. They may even cause milk secretion, because the tumor can secrete prolactin, a hormone that is needed for fertility and to produce milk in the breasts.

Usually, tumors that secrete growth hormone start to grow in adulthood, after people have reached their full height. But when tumors start growing in children or adolescents — as they do with many patients with the mutated gene — they can result in gigantism because they make the gland churn out growth hormone, prodding bones to keep growing. Pituitary tumors are of great interest to researchers because they grow very slowly and almost never spread elsewhere in the body.

Dr. Shlomo Melmed, a pituitary tumor researcher at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, explained that the tumor cells undergo premature aging.

“We think it might be protective,” Melmed said, a reason the tumor does not spread.

The involvement of the gene, known as AIP, in pituitary tumors is a surprise, researchers say. Mutations in the gene are associated with about 20 percent of inherited pituitary tumors when no other organ is involved. But it is not clear why mutations in this gene, which seems to be involved in metabolism — possibly to detoxify chemicals — can cause tumors or how these tumors form.

“There is nothing solid scientifically,” said Dr. Constantine Stratakis, a geneticist and pituitary tumor researcher who is the

Scientists Continued from A1 “There was never a light-bulb moment but a gradual realization based on the evidence,” Emanuel said. “I became convinced by the basic physics and by the better and better observation of the climate that it was changing and it was a risk that had to be considered.”

As a politically conservative climatologist who accepts the broad scientific consensus on global warming, Emanuel occupies a position shared by only a few scientists.

In much the same role that marriage and abortion played in previous election cycles, denial of climate change has now become a litmus test for the right.

The vast majority of Republicans elected to Congress during the midterm election doubt climate science, and senior congressional conservatives — Republican and Democrat — have vowed to fight Obama administration efforts to curtail greenhouse gas emissions.

That’s why scientists such as Emanuel rattle the political pigeonholes. Some are speaking out, using their expertise and conservative credentials to challenge what many researchers consider widespread distortions about climate change.

Texas Tech atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe is an evangelical Christian who travels widely talking to conservative audiences and wrote a book with her husband, a pastor and former climate change denier, explaining climate change to skeptics.

A physicist by training, John Cook is an evangelical Christian who runs the website skepticalscience.com, which seeks to debunk climate change deniers’ arguments.

The skeleton of Charles Byrne, an 18th-century Irishman who gained wealth and fame as a 7-foot-7 man, at the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in London.

Researchers report that Byrne had a rare gene mutation that is probably shared by 200 to 300 people living today. acting scientific director for the Division of Intramural Research at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

And for unknown reasons, only about 30 percent of people with the mutated gene develop tumors.

Korbonits said she had been aware of the Irish Giant because her work on pituitary tumors.

She suspected he might have had the AIP mutation when she saw a drawing of him standing with twin brothers who also were giants, who came from a nearby village, and who were said to be related to Byrne. That, she said, “suggested it was a genetic disease.”

And she had found the gene in members of four families from the same region of Ireland.

Korbonits wrote to the Hunterian Museum, where Byrne’s skeleton is still displayed, and asked to test the giant’s DNA, and then she and her colleagues removed two of his molars. She enlisted the help of an expert on ancient DNA, Joachim Burger of Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, to extract DNA from the giant’s teeth. She was worried that the DNA might be too degraded to analyze — after all, the giant’s corpse had been boiled in acid and then displayed in a museum for a couple of centuries.

“It was not clear at all that we would have suitable DNA,” Korbonits said. The DNA turned out to be broken in many pieces, but it could still be analyzed.

The investigators calculated that the giant and the four contemporary Irish families had a common ancestor who lived about 1,500 years ago. And, they report, there are probably 200 to 300 people living today who have inherited that same mutation.

One is Brendan Holland, a 58year-old Irishman who sells mining equipment. Holland started growing excessively when he was 13, he said in a telephone interview.

“I kept growing and growing,”

he said, eventually reaching a height of 6 feet 9 inches. As he grew, he said, he became less coordinated, developed frequent violent headaches and had sporadic episodes when he could not see. He had no idea what was wrong but left school when he was 19, on the theory, he said, “that all that studying was giving me headaches.”

Finally, when Holland was 20 and living in London, an endocrinologist, Dr. G. Michael Besser at Barts and the London School of Medicine, figured out that Holland had a pituitary tumor. As soon as the tumor was destroyed with radiotherapy, Holland’s headaches disappeared and his growth hormone levels dropped to normal.

After the AIP gene mutation was discovered in 2006, Korbonits asked to test Holland to see if he had it. He did. Then, Holland said, she started suggesting he might be related to the giant.

“She was asking me pointed questions about where he lived and where I lived,” Holland said.

“Then she said, ‘I think it is possible that you and this chap are related.’”

With the giant’s DNA analysis, it turned out that Korbonits was right.

Holland says he was touched thinking about the giant’s life, knowing how hard it is to be so tall and the subject of barbs and jeers.

The genetic analysis also had another effect, he said.

“I remember having a conversation with Dr. Besser when I was first diagnosed,” Holland said. “I said, ‘With eight children, why was I suffering from it and none of the others?’ He was very honest with me: He said they did not have a medical explanation.”

Now, at least, Holland has an explanation for his physical problems. And that helps, he said.

“I can only speak for myself,” he said, “but having a logical explanation helps me to come to terms with my condition.”

cently rebuked Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, for his climate views and posted editorials mentioning his Republican affiliation.

Emanuel waded into the fray early last year. He wrote a letter to The Wall Street Journal criticizing a friend and colleague for dismissing the evidence of climate change and clinging “to the agenda of denial.” Then Emanuel added his name to the Climate Science Rapid Response Team, a website run by scientists to provide accurate information from top researchers in climaterelated fields.

“I’ve always rebelled against the thinking that ideology can trump fact,” said Emanuel, 55.

“The people who call themselves conservative these days aren’t conservative by my definition. I think they’re quite radical.”

Paradoxically, over the last 40 years, it was conservative Republican administrations that pushed through the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the signing of the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Air Act. But today, most conservatives have lined up against the scientists — and transformed what started out as a technical issue into one dominated by ideology and sometimes religion.

Climate scientist Michael Mann called Emanuel “a leading light” in the field. “But that has no bearing on his view that human-caused climate change is a reality — that, after all, is a scientific issue, not a political issue,” he said.

A 2009 poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found that only 6 percent of scientists called themselves Republicans, compared with 55 percent who identified as Democrats.

A separate October 2009 Pew survey showed a marked decline from 18 months earlier in the number of people who accept global warming, with only one-third of Republican respondents saying they saw solid evidence of climate

change, the lowest percentage among any partisan group.

Emanuel dislikes applying the word “skeptic” to those who deny climate change. He says all scientists are skeptical; that’s the nature of the field. His own innate skepticism meant that it took him longer than his colleagues to be persuaded of climate change, Emanuel says.

He remembers thinking it ridiculous when a noted climatologist told Congress in 1988 that he was all but certain that the climate was changing. Yet, as analyses of climate data advanced through the 1990s and Emanuel found a relationship between hurricanes and climate change in his own work, he came to see a link between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

Climate change deniers, including many in Congress, contend that because the science is not “settled,” the government should not act to curtail greenhouse gases.

“Scientists are being asked to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that there is an imminent danger before we as a society do anything,” Emanuel said.

“The parallel to that is saying, ‘You won’t buy property insurance unless I can prove to you that your house will catch on fire right now.’ ” Although more scientists are pushing back against climate change denial, Emanuel is not convinced it can help, given the corporate interests and the weight of the GOP arrayed against them. All of this is making him reconsider his political loyalties: For the first time in his life, he voted for a Democrat, Barack Obama, in 2008.

“I am a rare example of a Republican scientist, but I am seriously thinking about changing affiliation owing to the Republicans’ increasingly anti-science stance,” he wrote in an e-mail. “The best way to elevate the number of Republican scientists is to get Republican politicians to stop beating up on science and scientists.”

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s doctor ordered a security guard to remove an IV bag apparently containing the anesthetic propofol from the stricken pop star’s bedside and then told arriving paramedics he had administered only a mild anti-anxiety drug, witnesses testified Wednesday.

The guard, Alberto Alvarez, told a Superior Court judge deciding whether there is enough evidence to try Dr. Conrad Murray for involuntary manslaughter that before instructing him to call 911, the physician told him to gather up medical paraphernalia, including vials and an IV bag containing “a milk-

like substance.”

Propofol, the surgical drug the coroner said caused Jackson’s death, is an opaque white liquid sometimes called “milk of amnesia” and it is at the center of the case against Murray, a 57-year-old cardiologist. The doctor acknowledged to police two days after Jackson’s death that he administered propofol to help Jackson, a chronic insomniac, fall sleep.

The testimony on the second day of the preliminary hearing concerned what Murray said — and didn’t say — in the moments after Jackson stopped breathing. The first paramedic on the scene said Murray mentioned nothing about propofol, claimed his patient’s only ail-

ment was “dehydration” and understated significantly how long it had been since Jackson had stopped breathing.

“It just didn’t add up,” Los Angeles City Fire Department paramedic Richard Senneff said repeatedly.

From Alvarez, Judge Michael Pastor got the closest look yet at Murray’s behavior after Jackson went into respiratory arrest in a bedroom of his rented Holmby Hills mansion. When Alvarez arrived in the bedroom, he said, Murray was doing chest compressions on Jackson in the bed with one hand. He said that when he asked what had happened, the doctor said only that Jackson “had a bad reaction.”

Curses! Romania’s witches forced to pay income tax

By Alison Mutler The Associated Press

MOGOSOIA, Romania — Everyone curses the tax man, but Romanian witches angry about having to pay up for the first time are planning to use cat excrement and dead dogs to cast spells on the president and government.

Also among Romania’s newest taxpayers are fortune tellers — but they probably should have seen it coming.

Superstitions are no laughing matter in Romania — the land of the medieval ruler who inspired the “Dracula” tale — and have been part of its culture for centuries. President Traian Basescu and his aides have been known to wear purple on certain days, supposedly to ward off evil.

Romanian witches from the east and west will head to the southern plains and the Danube River on Thursday to threaten the government with spells and spirits because of the tax law, which came into effect Jan. 1.

A dozen witches will hurl the poisonous mandrake plant into the Danube to put a hex on government officials “so evil will befall them,” said a witch named Alisia. She identified herself with one name — customary among Romania’s witches.

“This law is foolish. What is there to tax, when we hardly earn anything?” she said by telephone Wednesday. “The

lawmakers don’t look at themselves, at how much they make, their tricks; they steal and they come to us asking us to put spells on their enemies.”

The new law is part of the government’s drive to collect more revenue and crack down on tax evasion in a country that is in recession.

In the past, the less mainstream professions of witch, astrologer and fortune teller were not listed in the Romanian labor code, as were those of embalmer, valet and driving instructor.

Those who worked those jobs used their lack of registration to evade paying income tax.

Under the new law, like any self-employed person, they will pay 16 percent income tax and make contributions to health and pension programs.

Some argue the law will be hard to enforce, as the payments to witches and astrologers usually are made in cash and relatively small at 20 to 30 lei ($7 to $10) per consultation.

Mircea Geoana, who lost the presidential race to Basescu in 2009, performed poorly during a crucial debate, and his camp blamed attacks of negative energy by their opponent’s aides.

Geoana aide Viorel Hrebenciuc alleged there was a “violet flame” conspiracy during the campaign, saying Basescu and other aides dressed in purple on Thursdays to increase his chance

of victory. They continue to be seen wearing purple clothing on important days, because the color supposedly makes the wearer superior and wards off evil.

Such spiritualism has long been tolerated by the Orthodox Church in Romania, and the late Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, had their own personal witch.

Queen witch Bratara Buzea, 63, who was imprisoned in 1977 for witchcraft under Ceausescu’s repressive regime, is furious about the new law.

Sitting cross-legged in her villa in the lake resort of Mogosoaia, just north of Bucharest, she said Wednesday she planned to cast a spell using a particularly effective concoction of cat excrement and a dead dog, along with a chorus of witches.

“We do harm to those who harm us,” she said. “They want to take the country out of this crisis using us? They should get us out of the crisis because they brought us into it.”

“My curses always work!” she cackled in a smoky voice. She sat next to her wood-burning stove, surrounded by potions, charms, holy water and ceramic pots.

Not every witch is threatening fire and brimstone.

“This law is very good,” said Mihaela Minca. “It means that our magic gifts are recognized and I can open my own practice.”

Mysterious final days in ex-Pentagon aide’s death

By Kathleen Brady Shea and Larry King The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — As more becomes publicly known of the final days and hours of John P. Wheeler III, an image is emerging of a man coming unglued.

Less than 48 hours before the respected former Pentagon aide turned up dead last week in a Delaware landfill, Wheeler limped into a Wilmington parking garage. Coatless and confused, one of his shoes in hand, he bizarrely inquired about the location of his car, then declined offers of help, witnesses said.

A day later, police said Wednesday, surveillance video captured Wheeler in downtown Wilmington again — this time looking

“confused” inside the Nemours Building about 8:30 p.m. Dec. 30.

That was less than 14 hours before Wheeler’s body tumbled into a Wilmington landfill from a garbage truck. Police have called his death a homicide, but have refused to disclose how they believe Wheeler, 66, died.

“I knew something wasn’t right,” said Iman Goldsborough, a parking-lot attendant who encountered Wheeler on Dec. 29, “but I never thought it would end up like this.”

Also this week, police found evidence that Wheeler may have been involved in an arson attempt at the home of a couple he had been battling in court, a law enforcement source has told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

It all runs counter to the burnished public image of Wheeler, who served in Vietnam, successfully pushed for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall, advised presidents and Pentagon brass, and served as the first chief executive of Mothers Against Drunk Driving and as secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

After working at Mitre on Dec. 28, Wheeler is believed to have taken a train from Washington to Wilmington. That night, police said, smoke-bomb devices were set off in an unfinished New Castle home across from Wheeler’s that belongs to a couple with whom he was long embroiled in a court battle over the dimensions of the house.

Assistant principal shot by student dies Panel: Massive oil spill Omaha World-Herald OMAHA, Neb. — An assistant Omaha high school principal who was shot in her office Wednesday afternoon died from her injuries.

Police officials announced Vicki Kaspar had died. She would’ve turned 58 today.

Police said Robert Butler Jr., a 17-year-old Millard South High School student and son of an Omaha police detective, shot Principal Curtis Case and Assistant Principal Kaspar inside the school just before 1 p.m. Butler did not shoot any students.

Case was listed early Wednesday evening in serious but stable condition at Creighton University Medical Center.

Butler was found dead in a car from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at about 1:30 p.m.

Millard Superintendent Keith Lutz described Case as “young and energetic ... I’m sure he’ll pull through this.”

Dogs Continued from A1 The Forest Service asked people to comment on the idea.

It also held an open house on the subject in November. The agency has not developed a specific proposal that would change dog restrictions, however, or announced when it might do so.

In one initial set of comments reviewed by The Bulletin, most people voiced strong opposition to the idea of opening up more areas to dogs, citing the safety risks of collisions between dogs and skiers, dog feces on the ski trails and recounting stories of being attacked by dogs. It’s not clear whether the initial set of comments is representative of all of the comments the agency has received. The set also included letters from some people who said that more trails are needed so dog-owners can ski with their pets in additional areas separate from snowmobilers and featuring a variety of terrain.

“I have owned, trained and hunted with dogs and know they can be wonderful and useful companions under the right circumstances,” wrote one Bend resident. “Nordic skiing is not one of them. I would no more think of skiing than golfing with a dog.”

Dogs could ruin groomed trails by digging them up, and could bark at or bite skiers or other dogs, the person wrote.

Another person stated the Forest Service would start to ruin the area by allowing dogs on the north side of the highway. The commenter likes dogs, according to the letter, and didn’t mind them on hiking trails where it’s easier to step around dog feces.

“But it’s going to be harder to avoid dog poop when it’s right in groomed ski tracks or in the middle of the trail when one is trying to snowplow,” the Bend resident wrote.

Many others wrote about how much they enjoyed skiing the currently ungroomed trails of the Nordeen Loop, which leads a new warming shelter.

“Don’t widen the trail,” wrote a Bend resident, who stated he or she does not usually comment on Forest Service proposals, but felt strongly about this issue.

“Don’t let a small minority of skiers that want to take their dogs with them destroy and take away the best loop in Swampy from thousands of others. … You can’t mix the two uses without a lot of conflict.”

Some mentioned that backcountry skiers donated money and time to build the Nordeen shelter.

“It would be morally repugnant for the Forest Service to now turn this into a skate-ski highway, in essence forcing back-country skiers elsewhere,” another Bend resident wrote.

Concerns about dogs jumping on skiers, or getting in the way and causing skiers to fall, were also common in the comments.

“Dogs do not follow along quietly on the trail,” one person wrote. “To have a dog jump on a person on (skis) could cause a fall and serious injury. I have had dogs jump on me while hiking the Old Mill trail. Please do not let this beautiful ski area ‘go to the dogs.’ ” However, a Sunriver resident wrote in to say that more winter trails for people with dogs would be welcome. Edison is the only decent place to snowshoe with a dog in the Deschutes National Forest, the person wrote, compared with multiple options on the Mount Hood National Forest.

“Yes, we could go cross-country off-trail, but our ages (in the 60s) makes it very difficult,” the Sunriver resident wrote. “And

with an aging dog also, we really do need a trail system to use for both activities.”

Others supportive of increased access for dogs mentioned that at Wanoga, skiers with dogs must share the area with snowmobilers.

“I am in support of having dogs join the winter fun via the Nordeen Loop,” wrote a spaniel owner. “I don’t have to be on the look out for snowmobilers, and the trails would be groomed regularly. I urge you to empower those of us with dogs to be allowed to use the trails that are both safe and convenient.”

And Bend is a dog-friendly town, other commenters emphasized.

“Being that Bend is estimated to have dogs as pets in over half its households and on the fact that we are a world class winter sports destination, it seems to make sense that both tourists and locals should have more options than one groomed trail of low quality at Wanoga,” a Bend

resident wrote.

The Forest Service, in responding to a Freedom of Information Act request from The Bulletin for copies of those comments, redacted the names of the commenters, references to organizations within the comments and, in at least one case, the name of a commenter’s dog.

The redactions were made because of privacy laws, said Gery Ferguson, planner with the Deschutes National Forest.

“Under the Privacy Act (of 1974), we’re required to protect personally identifiable information such as their name and address,” she said.

The Forest Service will release a commenter’s name and address when the comment is in response to part of a National Environmental Policy Act planning process, she said, but these comments did not fall into that category.

And the federal agency redacted organization names because the groups could easily be linked to individuals in the community,

The younger Butler’s body was found dead in a parking lot.

I wont u guys to remember me for who I was b4 this ik. I greatly affected the lives of the families ruined but I’m sorry. goodbye.”

Lincoln school officials said Wednesday that Butler transferred from Lincoln Southwest High School to Millard South on Oct. 6 but had not been forced to transfer.

“He was popular with students and seemed real pleasant,” said Southwest Principal Rob Slauson, who described Butler as “a fairly normal, average” student.

Ferguson said.

“What we didn’t want to release is information that could cause any kind of retribution or ability for someone to do something to that individual,” she said.

The Forest Service’s manual for implementing the Freedom of Information Act states that the agency should not release information of a “private, intimate nature about individuals that would be a ‘clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy’ if disclosed.”

The manual includes a list of examples of this type of exempted information, such as an individual’s place and date of birth, age, home address, Social Security number and e-mail. But the list does not include an individual’s name.

However, Ferguson said names should be listed as exemptions as well, to protect a person’s privacy.

could happen again

By Dina Cappiello and Harry R. Weber The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Decisions intended to save time and money created an unreasonable amount of risk that triggered the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history, a disaster that could happen again without significant reforms by industry and government, the presidential panel investigating the BP blowout concluded Wednesday.

The commission findings — the result of a probe requested

by President Barack Obama after the April 20 rig explosion — described systemic problems within the offshore energy industry and government regulators who oversee it.

Poor decisions led to technical problems that the commission, and inquires by BP and Congress, have identified as contributing to the accident that killed 11 people and led to more than 200 million gallons of oil spewing from BP’s well a mile beneath the Gulf of Mexico.

BP, Halliburton and Transocean, the three key companies involved with the well and the rig that exploded, each made individual decisions that increased risks of a blowout but saved significant time or money.

But ultimately, the Deepwater Horizon disaster came down to a single failure, the panel says — management. When decisions were made, no one was considering the risk they were taking.

In one example cited by the commission, a BP request to set an “unusually deep cement plug” was approved by the thenMinerals Management Service in 90 minutes. That decision is one of the nine technical and engineering calls the commission says increased the risk of a blowout. “The blowout was not the product of a series of aberrational decisions made by a

rogue industry or government officials that could not have been anticipated or expected to occur again. Rather, the root causes are systemic, and absent significant reform in both industry practices and government policies, might well recur,” the commission concluded in a 48-page excerpt of its final report, obtained by The Associated Press. A final report is due to the president Jan. 11.

Interior Department spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff said the report focused on areas in which the agency in charge of offshore drilling has already made improvements.

“The agency has taken unprecedented steps and will continue to make the changes necessary to restore the American people’s confidence in the safety and environmental soundness of oil and gas drilling and production on the Outer Continental Shelf, while balancing our nation’s important energy needs,” Barkoff said in a statement.

BP PLC in a statement issued Wednesday said the report, like its own investigation, found the accident was the result of multiple causes, involving multiple companies, but the company was working with regulators “to ensure the lessons learned from Macondo lead to improvements in operations and contractor services in deepwater drilling.”

Transocean Ltd., which owned the rig being leased by BP to perform the drilling, said in response to the commission’s findings that “the procedures being conducted in the final hours were crafted and directed by BP engineers and approved in advance by federal regulators.”

Halliburton Co., the cement contractor on the well, also said it acted at the direction of BP and was “fully indemnified

by BP.”

As Pakistani politician is mourned, killer is lauded

By Karin Brulliard The Washington Post

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A leading ruling party politician was buried under tight security Wednesday, one day after his assassination, and he was lionized by supporters for his bravery and principles.

But outside the confines of Salman Taseer’s cordoned-off funeral, his suspected killer was also lauded as heroic — for having slain a liberal politician who had dared to speak out against Pakistan’s stringent anti-blasphemy laws.

The opposing responses underscored the deep cultural fractures in Muslim-majority Pakistan, where moderate voices are often drowned out by hard-line clerics, an increasingly intolerant public and a persistent Islamist insurgency. Though the weak government led by Taseer’s secular Pakistan People’s Party regularly denounces religious extremism, it has done little to dampen it.

Taseer, the governor of Punjab province, was shot more than two dozen times outside an upscale marketplace in a wealthy area of Islamabad, the capital.

Authorities said Mumtaz Qadri, 26, a member of the elite police force assigned to Taseer’s security detail, surrendered and confessed afterward. Photos taken at the scene showed him smiling.

While thousands of top PPP officials and workers gathered for Taseer’s state funeral in the eastern city of Lahore, lawyers showered rose petals on Qadri as

Resorts Continued from A1 It includes Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, critical voices like the group Central Oregon LandWatch, and Deschutes County planning Director Nick Lelack — all veterans of previous resort clashes.

“The experience of Deschutes County has been really valuable for shaping this process,” said Dingfelder.

In 1984, the state adopted streamlined rules for destination resorts to promote tourism in rural areas, allowing them to bypass Oregon’s normal urbanoriented development process.

Over the years, however, environmentalists and state land-use officials have increasingly complained that thanks to development industry lobbying, resort rules were relaxed and exploited to build large, high-end, golf-oriented subdivisions, not tourist destinations.

In 2009 the debate hit Salem.

One bill would have banned resorts in the Metolius basin, while another could have effectively banned new resorts in Deschutes. The first succeeded, while the second failed in the waning days of the Legislature.

Dingfelder, one of the Legislature’s most prominent environmentalists, was one of several lawmakers who liked the eco-resort concept that was promoted

Merkley Continued from A1 McConnell called Merkley’s plan a package of “partisan rule changes aimed at empowering the majority at the expense of the minority,” in a Washington Post Op-Ed Wednesday.

The essence of the proposal would give the minority party a guarantee that they could offer amendments, while increasing the burden on senators who delay votes, Merkley said, in an interview Wednesday morning.

“Both of them are legitimate complaints that need to be addressed in the context of greater deliberation,” Merkley said.

“There are the makings of a potential agreement there.”

The resolution has five parts: • The “talking filibuster.” This would require senators to continuously speak on the Senate floor, a la “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” to hold up a vote on a measure. Currently, senators merely need to inform a bill sponsor or majority leader that they intend to filibuster to hold up proceedings.

• Ending secret holds. Currently, any senator can object to a bill, essentially stopping debate, without revealing his or her identity. Secret holds can be ended, but only with a time-consuming process and 60 votes.

• Guaranteeing amendments by both parties. The minority party would be guaranteed votes on three amendments that are related to the bill being debated,

A Pakistani mourner yells during the funeral procession of Punjab Gov. Salman Taseer, in Lahore, Pakistan, on Wednesday. Taseer was assassinated Tuesday. he arrived at an Islamabad courthouse. A national group of 500 religious scholars, meanwhile, praised his deed and issued an ominous warning to those who mourned Taseer.

“One who supports a blasphemer is also a blasphemer,” the group said in a statement, which warned journalists, politicians and intellectuals to “learn” from the killing. “What Qadri did has

made every Muslim proud.”

Police said they were investigating whether Qadri acted alone. The suspect was ordered to appear before one of Pakistan’s anti-terrorism courts, which convict few suspects.

One Islamabad police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said preliminary investigations revealed that Qadri had been planning the attack

for the Metolius basin, but which fell victim to a resort ban instead.

“I thought there were some good things in there,” she said of the green-oriented plan. “I didn’t feel (the Metolius) was the right place.”

Dingfelder initially asked the work group to look at the entire resort statute. But with the Legislature convening next week, Dingfelder has asked the group members to narrow their focus.

Her draft bill would make smaller destination resorts easier to build. The “small resort” model would focus more on timeshares and shared-ownership, rather than on the residential lots that have dominated destination resorts in recent years. It would consist of 25 to 100 units of “visitor-oriented accommodations,” and would allow for investment into habitat protection and green building techniques rather than recreational facilities such as golf courses.

Lelack says the law, as proposed, would make it easier to build small destination resorts, while limiting their development to lesser-quality forestland.

“The small destination resort bill will provide some flexibility for new types of small resorts, and address some of the elements of the current small resort program that don’t make it economically viable,” he said.

But Paul Dewey, a lawyer for the conservation group Central Oregon Landwatch, said he

thinks the current bill, focusing only on small resorts, does not do enough to protect the environment.

He said the bill does nothing to place new limits on the traditional, larger resorts. Not only that, but counties don’t have the resources to enforce the timeshare requirement of the small resort, meaning they could become “essentially small subdivisions,” he said.

Dingfelder, for her part, said the divergent interests that have been meeting at least have forged a common understanding of the issues around resorts.

“I think we’ve gotten a lot further down the path than we were two years ago,” she said.

Lelack said that the bill, as written, probably wouldn’t lead to new resorts in Central Oregon, due to a lack of forestland available for development.

Whisnant led the fight against the 2009 bill that developers feared would halt new resorts in Deschutes County. He said his main goal is that new restrictions don’t halt the building of traditional resorts in the region.

“I don’t have a problem with trying to make it better,” he said of the current destination resort law. “I just don’t want to take (resorts) off the table for Central Oregon.”

or in Senate lingo, “germane” amendments.

• Allowing debate on bills. Currently, even the proposal to bring a bill up for debate, aka the “motion to proceed,” is something that can be filibustered. The new rules would no longer allow filibusters on those motions.

• Speeding nominations. Judicial and administration nominees have ended up as casualties of the current frequency of filibuster. The new rules would still allow filibusters of nominees, but would allow a vote to break the filibuster after just two hours, rather than the 30 hour wait currently required.

The proposal was supposed to receive a vote on Wednesday, the first day of the new Senate, when the chamber traditionally adopts new rules. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid used a procedural trick to extend the first “legislative day” until Jan. 24, at which point he promised a debate on overhauling the rules.

Merkley said that kind of calendar manipulation is common in the Senate.

“There have been first legislative days that stretched for months,” Merkley said.

Meanwhile, Reid and McConnell announced that they plan to set up a commission to study ways to speed up the confirmation of administration nominees.

The discussions between Reid and McConnell about rules changes are encouraging, Merkley said, but a rule change is the only way to ensure the Senate doesn’t get bogged down by the objections of

for days. The official also said a top police official in Rawalpindi had previously rejected Qadri for assignment to a special counterterrorism police force because of concerns about his militant religious views.

That disclosure renewed questions about the vetting of security forces in this nuclear-armed nation, which the United States relies on — and funds with billions

of aid dollars — to support the war in neighboring Afghanistan.

One senior security official said there was no cause for concern.

“The presence of a few such people cannot be ruled out in security forces,” the official said.

“However, we believe a majority of the forces are not inclined towards extremism.”

Taseer had called for leniency for a Christian mother sentenced to death under the blasphemy ban, and he supported proposed amendments to prevent use of the law as a tool for persecuting minorities or settling vendettas.

But those efforts were met with threats by Islamic groups, which had assailed Taseer’s stance.

His killing stunned Pakistan — which has been embroiled in political crisis since a key coalition party defected to the opposition over the weekend — and was roundly condemned by many newspapers, activists and politicians.

A headline in the Daily Times, a liberal newspaper published by Taseer, read: “A brave man cut down by fanaticism.” About 150 people holding placards reading “We reject religious extremism” attended a candlelight vigil at the site of the slaying.

Yet as Dawn, another Englishlanguage newspaper, noted in a front-page article, few of Taseer’s supporters defended — or even commented directly on — his views about Pakistan’s ban on insults toward Islam. Nor did they focus on the violent rhetoric of some religious clerics.

Morocco arrests 27 in terror cell

By J. David Goodman and Souad Mekhennet New York Times News Service

The Moroccan government arrested 27 people accused of operating a terror cell in the Western Sahara led by a member of the local branch of al-Qaida, officials said Wednesday.

The group was planning suicide and car bomb attacks against Moroccan and foreign security forces as well as bank robberies in Rabat and Casablanca to finance their activities, the interior minister,

Tayeb Cherkaoui, said at a news conference carried by state media. The group’s leader was a Moroccan member of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, which operates in northern Africa and has camps in neighboring Algeria, Mauritania and northern Mali. The goal was to set up a “rear base” for terror planning, he said.

A Moroccan security official said the cell had “links with extremists of different nationalities in European countries.” The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly.

U.S. man, 19, says he was beaten while detained in Kuwait

By Mark Mazzetti New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — A 19year-old American man detained in Kuwait two weeks ago and placed on a U.S. nofly list claims he was beaten by his Kuwaiti captors during a weeklong interrogation about possible contacts with terrorism suspects in Yemen.

The teenager, Gulet Mohamed, a Somali-American who turned 19 during his captivity, said in a telephone interview Wednesday from a Kuwaiti detention cell that he was beaten with sticks, forced to stand for hours, threatened with electric shocks and warned that his mother would be imprisoned if he did not give truthful answers about his travels in Yemen and Somalia in 2009.

U.S. officials have offered few details about the case, except to confirm that Mohamed is on a no-fly list and, for now at least, cannot return to the United States. Mohamed, from Alexandria, Va., remains in a Kuwaiti detention center even after Kuwait’s government, according to his brother, determined that he should be released.

Mohamed said that Kuwaiti interrogators repeatedly asked whether he had met Anwar al-Awlaki, the U.S.-born cleric now hiding in Yemen who is suspected in terrorist plots by al-Qaida’s Yemen affiliate.

He said the Kuwaitis also asked detailed questions about his family in the United States and his family’s clan in Somalia — information he said he assumed that U.S. officials provided to the Kuwaitis.

Mohamed denies ever meeting with militants.

“I am a good Muslim,” he said in the interview. “I despise terrorism.”

one or more senators.

“You can have leadership take one position, but that doesn’t mean all the members are going to abide by that,” Merkley said.

In addition to objections by McConnell and several other Republicans, Sen. Ben Nelson, DNeb., also came out against the rules changes on Wednesday.

Also on Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., tried to advance his proposal to end secret holds, but was blocked, at least until the Senate returns in late January, by a Republican objection.

Sen. Lamar Alexander, RTenn., objected to Wyden’s bill.

He said on the Senate floor that Republicans will probably be willing to accept limits to secret holds when the issue comes up again later this month.

“They have Democratic support and Republican support for that, maybe it’s the time to deal with it,” Alexander said.

Wyden, who has support from Sens. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said he hoped secret holds would die on Wednesday.

“I wish we were getting this done today,” said Wyden, who has campaigned against secret holds for more than a decade, “largely because this would give us a chance on the first day of the Senate, a new session, (to say) once and for all we were deepsixing secrecy.”

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Tony’s Deli closes Tony’s Delicatessen, which sold sandwiches, salads and Italian-style entrees in the Century Park retail center on Century Drive in Bend, closed Dec. 31, co-owner Tom Coleman confirmed Wednesday.

The restaurant’s neighbors include Safeway supermarket in one building and Starbucks Coffee and Taco Del Mar in another building. A Blockbuster movie rental franchise that had operated in the same building as Tony’s closed in September. Tony’s closure leaves that building empty.

Tony’s opened for business in mid-2008 after Coleman and Rick Adamo had worked together at the Athletic Club of Bend and realized they wanted to have their own food business. “It’s been a tough go from Day One,� Coleman said. “We opened, you know, right before everything kinda went bust, and it’s been a challenge to build our business with this economy. And (the) Blockbuster closing didn’t help, but that’s just one thing.�

Coleman said that he still has a lease on the Tony’s location and that some people have expressed interest in subleasing the space.

Honda, Ford top brand-quality survey LOS ANGELES — Toyota has been toppled in consumers’ eyes as the leading top-quality automaker, with consumers now looking more favorably on Honda and Ford, according to Consumer Reports’ 2011 Car Brand Perception Survey.

A series of massive recalls over the last 18 months has tarnished Toyota’s reputation for quality, the magazine said Tuesday. Toyota Motor Corp. paid nearly $50 million in fines last year to federal safety regulators for failing to inform them promptly of defects in its vehicles and for delaying recalls.

The Honda brand ranked first in the survey, with 25 percent of car owners participating in the survey naming it as the manufacturer with the best quality.

DESCHUTES COUNTY

Notices of default down in 4th quarter But experts caution it’s just a lull prompted by foreclosure freeze ed by a freeze on foreclosures so lenders could review their paperwork, said Valerie Hunter, principal broker, of H&H Preferred Real Estate. “It’s going to go at the speed that it’s been going at until 2013,� said Hunter, who specializes in selling bank-owned properties in the Portland area, Central Oregon and other parts of the state.

Deschutes County recorded 3,764 notices of default filings

By Tim Doran The Bulletin

As expected, the total number of initial foreclosure notices filed in Deschutes County last year exceeded the amount filed in 2009.

Filings in the fourth quarter, however, dropped nearly 11 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2009 — the first yearover-year quarterly decline in more than three years.

But that was just a lull prompt-

last year, according to the county clerk’s electronic recording system, about 7 percent more than the 3,507 default notices filed in 2009.

A notice of default initiates foreclosure proceedings and is generally filed after a mortgage is 90 days delinquent. Not all default notices result in foreclosure, and Deschutes County does not track actual foreclosures.

Hiring jumped in December

By Kevin G. Hall McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Private businesses hired new workers at a surprisingly energetic pace in December, according to a widely tracked job-tracking report released on Wednesday.

The ADP National Employment Report showed that private-sector employment rose by 297,000 in December. That’s the highest monthly gain since the report’s inception in 2000, and it’s double or triple what was expected by mainstream economists.

Most important, job gains that high are what’s needed to knock down the stubbornly high unemployment rate, which has been stuck at just under 10 percent for more than a year. It was at 9.8 percent in November, with an official report on December employment due Friday.

The new data suggest that last month’s disappointing official jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics may have been flawed, or at least a pothole on the road to recovery. Combined with several other recent positive indicators, the evidence that the economic recovery is strengthening appears to be mounting.

Often hailed as a way to fight poverty, microcredit has made a few enemies Some political leaders accuse lenders of taking advantage of the poor

How to get your financial house in order in 2011

By Vikas Bajaj New York Times News Service

MUMBAI, India — Microcredit is losing its halo in many developing countries.

Microcredit was once extolled by world leaders like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair as a powerful tool that could help eliminate poverty, through loans as small as $50 to cowherds, basket weavers and other poor people for starting or expanding businesses. But now microloans have sparked political hostility in Bangladesh, India, Nicaragua and other developing countries.

In December, the prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina Wazed, who had championed microloans alongside Clinton at talks in Washington in 1997, turned her back on them. She said microlenders were “sucking blood from the poor in the name of poverty alleviation,� and she ordered an investigation into Grameen Bank, which had pioneered microcredit and along with its founder was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.

Here in India, until recently home to the world’s fastest-growing mi-

Before Goldman Sachs bought a stake in Facebook and started offering shares to wealthy clients, a powerful investment group within the firm turned down the chance to buy a piece of the social networking behemoth, according to several people briefed on the internal discussions.

Goldman Sachs Capital Partners — a group that manages and invests for pensions, sovereign wealth funds, and other prominent clients — was given the initial opportunity to invest $450 million in Facebook, said the people who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Goldman gives the “first look� on many investment opportunities to the $20.3 billion fund. While most of the group’s clients are big institutions, the investors also include current and former Goldman partners.

Women attend a meeting to learn about microloans at the Ujjivan microcredit firm in Mumbai, India, in September. Microloans have sparked hostility in Bangladesh, India, Nicaragua and other developing countries as political leaders say lenders are taking advantage of the poor. crocredit businesses, lending has slowed sharply since the state with the most microloans adopted a strict law restricting lending. In Nicaragua, Pakistan and Bolivia, activists and politicians have urged borrowers not to repay their loans.

The hostility toward microfinance is a sharp reversal from the praise and good will that politicians, social workers and bankers showered on the sec-

tor in the last decade. Philanthropists and investors poured billions of dollars into nonprofit and profit-making microlenders, who were considered vital players in achieving the United Nations’ ambitious Millennium Development Goals for 2015 that world leaders set in 2000. One of the goals was to reduce by half the number of people in extreme poverty.

It’s that virtuous time of year for all those good intentions: Lose weight, clean out closets, learn a foreign language. For New Year’s resolutions involving money, there are two biggies: paying down debt and pumping up savings.

And this month is when the holiday debt hangover kicks in. “People get shocked in January when the holiday bills start coming in. Or if they’re paying online, the shock is there,� said Terri Ciochetti, PERSONAL already a Sacramento, Calif., psychotheraFINANCE pist and former financial recovery counselor.

But it can be oh-so-hard to make those New Year’s money resolutions stick. Ciochetti says that’s partly because our resolutions are too often “desperate wishes, as opposed to thought-out plans.�

But it appears we’re trying. Getting through the recession has forced more Americans to sock away what money they have, boosting the nation’s dismal savings rate slightly.

If you want to curb your spending and boost savings, here are some how-to’s.

wide in early October to review their procedures and paperwork after questions were raised about the documents lenders submitted and whether foreclosures were being handled properly.

Most foreclosures in Oregon go through a nonjudicial process, but the freeze still slowed foreclosures in the state. Hunter said about 30 of her listings were taken off the market.

Many loans made during the housing bubble came with adjustable-rate mortgages that carry low interest rates for the first three, five, seven or 10 years, and Hunter expects additional defaults

Continued from B1 The number filed in 2009 represented an 82 percent increase over 2008 filings in Deschutes County, Oregon’s hardest hit county, at least when it comes to mortgage assistance. The state, factoring in unemployment rates, housing prices and foreclosure rates, gave Deschutes County the highest number of slots in a new mortgage payment assistance program.

shop from a list and never shop hungry, says Ciochetti. “Don’t walk in with any cravings, and don’t buy anything in the checkout line. There’s a reason the candy, gum, soda and $5 magazines are there.”

Continued from B1

Getting started Before knowing how to cut back, you need to know where your money goes. Financial experts recommend you track your spending for at least 30 days.

Write everything down — from gum to groceries. That $5 you think you spend on lunch every day may actually be $8 or $9, even $15 if you’re eating out. Three times a week, you’re forking out $45 without even realizing.

Get a cushion Everyone needs a financial safety net, a savings account for that unexpected medical, dental, car or family emergency. “What usually knocks people off a financial recovery plan is an emergency that requires a credit card: new tires for the car, the water heater goes out,” said Ciochetti.

Typically, it’s recommended to set aside savings of three to six months of living expenses. “But in this economy, it’s more realistic to have one to two months of savings because more people are stretched,” said ClearPoint’s Delgado.

A reasonable amount is 10 percent of your take-home pay, he said. If you get paid $1,000 every two weeks, put away at least $100 in an account that’s accessed only in an emergency. “Even if it’s only $10 to $20, it’s a start.”

Tighten the budget belt Based on your 30-day spending, decide what’s important; choose where you can economize.

“It’s a cliche, but think about if you need a Starbucks coffee every day,” said Elias Delgado, spokesman with nonprofit ClearPoint Credit Counseling Solutions, which has 10 offices in California, including Sacramento. “At $5 a cup, that’s $25 a week, $100 a month. If you really want it, can you buy a pound and brew it at home or the office?”

Get a budget buddy, someone to keep you motivated, suggests Ciochetti. “It’s easier to say, ‘Let’s lose 10 pounds together’ than ‘Let’s save 10 percent of our money together.’ But I’ve had clients who noticed a friend at work bringing lunch and joined them. Then others noticed ,and suddenly you’re not alone.”

Other tips: Get a smaller cable TV package. Order two takeout pizzas a month instead of four, suggests Gail Cunningham, spokeswoman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Review your cell phone bill: If you’re paying for unlimited texting, for instance, but rarely use it, cut back on what you’re paying for that privilege.

At the grocery store, always

Credit card help When it comes to credit cards, put them on ice. Literally, says Cunningham. “The plastic in your wallet is temptation. Remove it.

Put (credit cards) in a mixing bowl with water in the freezer.”

Other tips: If you have multiple cards with varying debt, pay down the card with the highest interest rate first. Pay more than the minimum payment, whenever possible.

Consider transferring balances to a card with a lower interest rate. But be aware: some card issuers are now charging higher transfer fees.

Call your card issuer to ask — politely — about negotiating lower rates. If turned down, ask to speak with a supervisor.

when those loans reset, even if lenders agree to refinance.

“When it comes up to refinance and (they’ve) got to put down another 20, 30 or 40 percent, who knows if they’re going to have the money,” she said.

Some of those same reasons make University of Oregon economist Timothy Duy hesitant about reading too much into a two-month drop in the number of default notices filed in Deschutes County.

Along with the foreclosure freeze, Duy said lenders holding onto properties through the end of the year also could poten-

tially influence the number of foreclosures.

If housing prices continue to fall, that could bring an increase in future foreclosure numbers, he said.

With the housing market facing so many challenges, Duy said, he would like to see more data before offering any observations.

“If I saw four or five months of decline, I would be more likely to say we’ve clearly hit the peak,” he said.

the firm.

Unlike Wall Street brokers who sell shares to investors, Friedman manages money for other people. That means he has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interests of his clients.

Goldman does not have the same obligation to many of its private wealth management clients, because it is not giving investment advice.

Goldman’s critics have long complained that the firm puts its own interests ahead of clients. In the Facebook deal, Goldman is investing $450 million, at an implied $50 billion valuation. However, Goldman clients are paying a 4 percent placement fee and a 0.5 percent expense reserve fee for their shares, as well as giving up 5 percent of gains. That means that Facebook would need to be worth closer to $60 billion before they make any money.

Besides those fees, Goldman is likely to earn additional money from ancillary business — with the biggest win coming from an eventual initial public offering. Facebook is expected to go public in 2012.

One reason Friedman may have shied away from the Facebook offer was that his fund was burned a decade ago after loading up on technology and telecom darlings during the dot-com bubble. The unit’s third fund, a $2.8 billion vehicle raised in 1998, invested roughly 70 percent of its portfolio in such companies, according to the fund’s documents.

“If by doing this investment they get Facebook’s IPO, then the fees that they make — no matter what size — make this investment a better deal for them, than all of their clients,” said Barry Schuler, managing director of venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson.

Continued from B1 But the unit’s head, Richard Friedman, a longtime Goldman partner, decided the Facebook deal was not suitable for his clients, in part owing to the high valuation. The $450 million investment values the Web company at $50 billion.

After Goldman’s deal, some industry experts cautioned that Facebook’s growth would need to accelerate rapidly over the next couple of years to justify such a steep price — a risk with many brand-name technology upstarts.

After Friedman passed, the Wall Street bank itself made the $450 million Facebook investment, taking the deal on its balance sheet. The firm is trying to sell another $1.5 billion of shares in the tech company to wealthy clients — a deal that is expected to be oversubscribed when it closes later this week, as early as Thursday, these people said.

The decision by Friedman, who holds a seat on the firm’s vaunted management committee, has raised concerns among some of Goldman’s most sophisticated clients who have been pitched on Facebook in recent days.

Several wealthy individuals approached about the offering said they had declined, in part, because of Friedman’s rejection.

People briefed on Friedman’s decision said he was concerned about Facebook’s $50 billion valuation and the terms of the deal. Goldman Sachs Capital Partners frequently likes to take large positions in companies with expectations of holding them for several years or even longer. A $450 million investment in Facebook would have represented less than 1 percent of

Microcredit Continued from B1 The attention lavished on microcredit helped the sector reach more than 91 million customers, most of them women, with loans totaling more than $70 billion by the end of 2009. India and Bangladesh together account for half of all borrowers.

But as with other trumpeted development initiatives that have promised to lift hundreds of millions from poverty, microcredit has struggled to turn rhetoric into tangible success.

Done right, these loans have shown promise in allowing some borrowers to build sustainable livelihoods. But it has also become clear that the rapid growth of microcredit — in India some lending firms were growing at 60 percent to 100 percent a year — has made the loans much less effective.

Political backlash Meanwhile, politicians in developing nations, some of whom had long resented microlenders as competitors for the hearts and minds of the poor, have taken to depicting lenders as profiteering at the expense of borrowers.

Nicaragua’s president, Daniel Ortega, for example, supported “movimiento no pago,” or the no-pay movement, which was started in 2008 by farmers after some borrowers could not pay their debts. Partly as a result of that campaign, a judge recently ordered the liquidation of one of the country’s leading microlenders, Banco del Exito, or Success Bank.

“These crises happen when the microfinance sector gets saturated, when it grows too fast, and the mechanisms for controlling overindebtedness is not well developed,” said Elisabeth Rhyne, a senior official at Accion International, a Boston organization that invests in microlenders. “On the political side, politicians or political actors take advantage of an opportunity. When they see grievances, they go, ‘Wow, we can make some hay with this.’ ” In India, leaders in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, which accounts for about a third of the country’s microloans, have accused lenders of impoverishing customers.

Stories proliferated in the local news media about women who had amassed debts of $1,000 or more as loan officers cajoled them into borrowing more than they could afford and then browbeating them to re-

pay. Many had used the money to pay for televisions or health care or to soften the blow of failed crops, rather than as seed money for businesses.

Microcredit firms in India were also accused of siphoning borrowers from government-run “self-help groups” — women’s organizations that can borrow small amounts at subsidized interest rates from government-owned banks.

The movement against microcredit was started by opposition politicians, who have encouraged borrowers not to repay their loans and have accused senior leaders of the ruling Congress Party of being in cahoots with lenders. The Congress-led state government made the cause its own and passed a tough new law in December to cap interest rates and regulate collections.

The crisis has had ripples across the nation. Banks, the primary source of money for microlenders, have turned off the tap because they are worried about the industry’s future. As a result, microlenders have slowed or stopped lending nationwide.

Need for reform Industry leaders say they hope the issues will be resolved soon. The federal government and the Reserve Bank of India, the country’s central bank, are working on new federal regulations to oversee microcredit, said Alok Prasad, chief executive of the Microfinance Institutions Network.

Still, some industry officials acknowledge that the sector also needs to reform itself to overcome political opposition and live up to its promise. They say that organizations that now offer only loans need to diversify into microsavings accounts, which many specialists assert are much better than loans at alleviating poverty.

The industry, they say, also needs to speed up efforts to build a credit bureau that would reduce overlending. And organizations need to measure their success not just by growth and profits, but by how fast their customers are getting out of poverty, experts say.

“We at microfinance have a job to do to make it easier for politicians to support us,” said Alex Counts, the chief executive of the Grameen Foundation, a nonprofit in Washington that is not part of Grameen Bank.

“Rather than make claims that get out in front of the research, we need to impose on ourselves the discipline of transparency about poverty reduction.”

Elizabeth Kavanaugh and Jeff Rank stand outside their former business, Large Format Digital, in Edgerton, Wis. The company, which printed advertisements on the side panels of trucks, opened in 1998 and closed in March, with the recession taking away much of its business.

By Eilene Zimmerman New York Times News Service

In business, numbers usually tell the story. If you use them to judge 2010, it was probably a better year for small businesses than 2009. In the first quarter of 2010, for example — the most recent period for which the data are available — there was a net loss of 96,000 companies with fewer than 100 employees, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In 2009, the loss was 400,000 companies.

Numbers, however, do not tell the whole story. Behind every one of those small businesses that failed was an entrepreneur with an idea and a dream. “It was very painful,” said one of those owners, Elizabeth Kavanaugh, whose 12-year-old business, Large Format Digital, closed in March. “My husband and I are still struggling with the aftermath.”

Marc Hedlund, co-founder of Wesabe, a now-defunct personal finance site, wrote on his blog that while he was “enormously sad” about the closing of his business, he hoped that by writing about the difficulties Wesabe faced he would “inform other people who try to start companies in the future.” In that spirit, here are the stories of six small businesses that closed their doors in 2010.

Wesabe The personal finance website, based in San Francisco, opened in 2006 and closed in July.

At its peak: Wesabe was one of the first movers in the Web 2.0 financial space. Its founders, Hedlund and Jason Knight, envisioned a site that would help consumers budget their money and make better spending decisions. The company received two rounds of venture capital financing totaling $4.7 million and signed up 150,000 members in its first year.

What went wrong: Ten months after Wesabe’s introduction, a competitor, Mint. com, appeared. As Hedlund acknowledges, Mint had a better name and better design and was easier to use. Within nine months, Mint had 300,000 users and $17 million in venture financing. In 2009, Mint was sold to Intuit for $170 million.

Looking back: Hedlund wishes he had simplified the consumer’s experience. “We wanted to help people,” he said, “but it was too much work to get that help.”

Gotham concierge A personal assistance and professional organizing service in Manhattan, Gotham Concierge opened in 2004 and closed in August.

At its peak: In the summer of 2008, Alison Kero, Gotham’s founder, was running errands and handling tasks for more clients than she could handle, from busy housewives to disorganized lawyers and hedge fund managers.

What went wrong: As home prices and the stock market plummeted in the fall of 2008,

Kero’s clients began cutting back. She spent thousands of dollars on advertising that did not work. Worse, she became increasingly frustrated with the tedium of running errands.

In July, when one of her two remaining clients forgot about a meeting — and then blamed Kero for not reminding her about it — she decided to close up shop.

Looking back: “I realize now I didn’t love what I did,” she said. “I loved running a business.” In late October, she moved to Denver and started a pet care business, Alicat Pet Service.

iParents.com A social network for parents and families, based in Wyncote, Pa., iParents.com opened in 2008 and closed in January 2010.

At its peak: Don Milley founded iParents.com at a time when Facebook was still gaining traction with middle-aged people. “iParents was a place where family members would be able to interact with each other online, share schedules, news, photos and coordinate activities,” Milley said. Nine months after opening, the site had 70,000 members and venture capitalists were interested in investing about $3 million — if it could get to 100,000 members.

What went wrong: Too much time and money were spent on enhanced functionality, like text-alert reminders about appointments and the ability to turn family photos into refrigerator magnets. “All the bells and whistles diluted our premise — to be a community for parents and families,” Milley said. In late 2009, he hired a marketing company in Florida to do online outreach and run a photo contest to try to get to 100,000 members. He paid $18,000 for the work and never heard from the company again.

“That was the death knell for us,” he said.

Looking back: Although Facebook was a competitor, Milley felt there was ample room for iParents, too: “The cause of death was really a lack of focus on building a community — that, and we ran out of working capital.”

In November, Milley started PerDiemDeals.com, which sells Groupon-style coupons to small-business owners.

Large format digital Based in Edgerton, Wis., the company printed advertisements on the side panels of trucks. It opened in 1998 and closed in March.

At its peak: In 2006, business took off, growing about 60 percent a year until 2008. In 2007, sales were $3 million and the company had 15 employees.

What went wrong: When the business was growing, Kavanaugh and Jeff Rank, her cofounder and husband, decided to spend $1 million to build their own installation facility, which they believed would save them money in the long term.

The mortgage closed on the

same day in September 2008 that Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. Within a month, Large Format’s workload fell 50 percent. “It was literally like someone turned off a faucet,” said Kavanaugh.

Looking back: “I wish I had spoken to an attorney right after the closing and a CPA with small-business expertise,” said Kavanaugh. “Maybe they would have told us we didn’t have to go through with building.” Her remaining six employees bought her customer list and started a similar company, Fetch Graphics. Kavanaugh was hired as social program manager.

Varvitsiotis Architecture Based in Eugene., the firm did mostly commercial work.

It opened in 1996 and closed in February.

At its peak: In 2008, Varvitsiotis had six employees, more than half a million dollars in annual revenue and five projects under way — enough work for two years. Richard Barbis, the founder, had plans to build the business into a 15- to 20person firm and was grooming two employees to be partners.

What went wrong: When the stock market fell in 2008, clients started to cancel projects.

Too much of the company’s work was in the private sector, Barbis said, as opposed to the public sector where many projects were financed with government stimulus money. With work scarce, bigger firms started competing with Varvitsiotis for the smaller projects it usually landed.

Looking back: “We were hit from all sides,” said Barbis.

His new business, Opa Cove, sells sporting good products for children.

Petite Palate A gourmet baby food company based in Long Island City, N.Y., Petite Palate opened in 2006 and closed in October.

At its peak: In the spring of 2007, Petite Palate’s organic frozen baby food was sold on Amazon Grocery and in about 100 stores in the Northeast and Midwest. The founders, Lisa Beels, a personal chef, and Christine Naylor, a former cookbook publicist, were presenting their business plan to potential investors, hoping to raise $2.5 million to $5 million.

What went wrong: In the fall of 2008, potential investors, skittish about the economy, pulled out. The company was struggling to get its products into the freezer section of grocery stores — yet Beels and Naylor stuck to their concept because they believed frozen food was healthier for children than food in jars or pouches.

Looking back: Beels said she and Naylor should have been more open to producing shelf-stable formulations. “It took us a long time to acknowledge that and by then we were in debt and couldn’t support the company,” Beels said. Her new personal chef business is called Haute Palate.

World food prices continued to rise sharply in December, bringing them close to the crisis levels that provoked shortages and riots in poor countries three years ago, according to newly released United Nations data.

Prices are expected to remain high this year, prompting concern that the world may be approaching another crisis, although economists cautioned that many factors, like adequate stockpiles of key grains, could prevent a serious problem.

The United Nations data measures commodity prices on the world export market. Those are generally far removed from supermarket prices in wealthy countries like the United States.

In this country, food price inflation has been relatively tame, and prices are forecast to rise only 2 to 3 percent this year.

But the situation is often different in poor countries that rely more heavily on imports. The food price index of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization rose 32 percent from June to December, according to the report published Wednesday. In December, the index was slightly higher than it was in June 2008, its previous peak. The index is not adjusted for inflation, however, making an exact comparison over time difficult.

The global index was pushed up last year by rising prices for cooking oils, grains, sugar and meat, all of which could continue to remain high or rise.

Abdolreza Abbassian, an economist for the organization, which is based in Rome, said that bad weather affecting commodity crops in many exporting countries might help keep prices high over the next several

Qualcomm makes $3.2B acquisition to ride new gadget wave

By Andrew Vanacore The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Tech companies are sweating it out to keep ahead of what consumers want from their gadgets. Just look at Qualcomm Inc., which struck a $3.2 billion deal Wednesday in hopes of tapping into the explosion of Wi-Fi connected devices such as tablet computers and TVs. Qualcomm is a pioneer in the cell phone industry — if you have a Verizon or Sprint phone, a piece of its silicon is probably helping you access the Web, get e-mail and make calls. But the company decided it needed to buy Wi-Fi chip maker Atheros Communications Inc. to ensure that it didn’t miss the next big leap in connectivity.

Apple Inc. has sold more than 7 million iPads and imitators are lining up even now to show off competing tablets at this week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Most of them will connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi, even if many of them can also use a cellular network.

Electronics we don’t often associate with the Web are starting to connect as well. Atheros has chips that go into TVs and even wireless Nintendo games.

“Almost everything now seems to have Wi-Fi in it,” said Jeff Brown, a vice president at UBM TechInsights. And at Qualcomm, Wi-Fi technology was “one of their major holes.”

In buying Atheros, Qualcomm will become a one-stop shop for gadget makers that want both cellular and Wi-Fi capability, giving it a competitive edge.

DEQ asks city to ensure sediment discharges into Deschutes tributary don’t happen again

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

The city of Bend could face enforcement action from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality if officials here can’t fix a glitch in the municipal water system that occasionally dumps large amounts of sediment into Tumalo Creek.

Last week, the DEQ sent a letter to the city urging it to find a solution to the sedimentation problem in the creek, and asked the municipality to come up with changes that could be implemented to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

While that letter didn’t indicate the city would face fines or any

other actions for not complying with the state agency’s request, DEQ Eastern Regional Water Quality Manager Eric Nigg said enforcement could eventually occur should the water system continue to discharge sediment into the Deschutes River tributary.

“What we’ve asked them to do is operate in a way where this doesn’t happen,” Nigg said. “We are trying to get this stopped, and that’s kind of the primary focus.

The city has been cooperative, and we hope that they can pre-

Amaya Thomas, 10, smiles as she tries to hula hoop and ride a unicycle at the same time Wednesday morning at Pine Ridge Elementary. Amaya is one of about 50 students who come into school an hour early four days each week to practice riding unicycles.

Power of one Unicycle club inspires Pine Ridge Elementary students

By Sheila G. Miller • The Bulletin On Wednesday mornings, it’s easy for 11-year-old Bryce Bozovich to get out of bed and ready for school. Sure, the fifth-grader has to be at Pine Ridge Elementary by 8 a.m. But knowing he’ll get to ride a unicycle makes it a bit easier.

“This is really fun to me,” he said.

“This is the only place I can unicycle because it’s icy outside.”

Bryce is one of about 50 students who come before school at least once each week to hone their unicycle skills.

The program is a brainchild of Carisa Thomason, a P.E. teacher at Pine Ridge who started the program a few years ago after students who already had some unicycle skills wanted to show

her their moves. She wanted to learn the skill herself, and these days she can mount and ride the unicycle around the gym with relative ease.

That first year, only about 10 fourthand fifth-graders came in the mornings before school. For a while, Thomason bought unicycles off of Craigslist so students without their own would have the option of participating.

Redmond Airport manager is retiring after 21 years

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Carrie Novick, the Redmond Airport manager for 21 years, will retire at the end of the current fiscal year on June 30.

Novick, 68, made the announcement in a letter to Redmond City Manager David Brandt sent earlier this week.

Her retirement comes after she led the $40 million airport expansion, which increased the terminal’s size by almost seven times. It is now 136,000 square feet.

The discharge of sediment comes from a series of pipes and ditches the city uses to put excess water it takes from Bridge Creek back into Tumalo Creek when there isn’t enough demand in town to use it all.

For the most part, this excess water is clear when it is diverted back into Tumalo Creek from the Outback Treatment Facility about two miles up Skyliners Road west of Bend.

BEFORE-SCHOOL BALANCING ACT

By Hillary Borrud Deschutes County officials plan to re-evaluate in upcoming months whether to continue paying The Environmental Center in Bend $156,000 a year to educate people about recycling and ways to reduce waste.

The three county commissioners voted unanimously Wednesday to extend the center’s contract by six months, until the end of the current fiscal year. During that time, commissioners will weigh whether to sign another contract with the center, during budget discussions for the next fiscal year.

Commissioners said W e d n e s d ay Inside they antici• Deschutes pate a difficult supports budget year drone beginning in July, and the testing, county’s DePage C5 partment of Solid Waste has already struggled financially during the recession. In 2010, the department laid off two employees and closed Knott Landfill on Sundays to balance its budget.

The budget process starts with a meeting today about major issues that will come up later in the process. Officials will meet again in May. State law obligates the county, and all communities with populations over 10,000, to provide several programs aimed at reducing the amount of waste that goes into their landfills. But Oregon laws do not mandate how much governments must spend on these programs, said Susan Christensen, a natural resource specialist for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality in Bend.

The contract makes up 2.5 percent of the Department of Solid Waste’s budget, according to a document provided by the director of the county Department of Solid Waste, Timm Schimke. The department is funded by landfill fees charged to the public and local garbage haulers.

Over the past 18 years, Deschutes County spent approximately $1.8 million on recycling education and promotion, according to figures from the Department of Solid Waste.

During that time, 723,981 tons of waste were diverted from Knott Landfill. That is the equivalent of adding 6.3 years to the life of the landfill, which Schimke estimates saved the county $7 million in transportation costs.

Redmond, the airport had about 70,000 available seats on flights for a full year. Now that number is about 240,000, she said.

Novick’s original plan upon arriving in Redmond was to stay only about five years.

“We were so busy, I don’t think I even thought about time going by,” Novick said. “I remember at 10 years, I looked up and said, ‘Whoa, it’s been 10 years.’”

Novick praised the city councilors and city managers whom she worked for over her career, in particular their willingness to take on big projects like the

recent expansion. Novick also gave credit to her staff, which now numbers about a dozen people. Novick was the only employee when she began working at the airport, she said.

Brandt, though, credited Novick with leading the airport from a tiny outpost to what it is today.

“She’s a legend. She built that airport literally from a tiny airfield at the end of a dirt road,” Brandt said. “It’s quite an accomplishment and I’m sure she’ll be missed.”

Bend City councilors elected a new mayor and welcomed into their midst local businessman Scott Ramsay during a ceremony Wednesday evening at the Municipal Courthouse.

After Ramsay was sworn in, the council voted unanimously, and with no debate, to make Councilor Jeff Eager the new mayor and Councilor Jodie Barram the mayor pro-tem.

Eager, 35, is a partner at the Balyeat, Eager & Steel, LLP law firm in Bend. He was elected to his first-term on the council in November 2008. He grew up in Bend, and was a press secretary and legislative assistant for U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, from 1999 to 2001.

He’s taking over the mayor position from Councilor Kathie Eckman, who has served more than 15 years on the city council over the past several decades, including two separate terms as mayor from 1991 to 1992 and 2009 to 2010.

Tough decisions ahead As part of a speech he gave after being elected by his peers, Eager said the city will face a lot of tough decisions in the years ahead, mostly related to the city’s budget, which is facing a general fund shortfall that could be upward of $20 million over the next several years.

He also said it’s important to engage community members in the government process before the council moves ahead with large decisions. An example of this he gave after the ceremony was the city’s proposed $58 million to $73 million upgrade to its surface water infrastructure that has drawn recent criticism from some in the community for being too expensive and possibly detrimental to Tumalo Creek.

“One of the things that I’m hoping to focus on as mayor and along with my fellow councilors is to really try to put people in touch with their city government,” Eager said.

In 1919, the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, died in Oyster Bay, N.Y., at age 60.

In 1942, the Pan American Airways Pacific Clipper arrived in New York more than a month after leaving California and following a westward route.

In 1950, Britain recognized the Communist government of China.

In 1967, U.S. Marines and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Deckhouse Five, an offensive in the Mekong River delta.

In 1982, truck driver William G. Bonin was convicted in Los Angeles of 10 of the “Freeway Killer� slayings of young men and boys. (Bonin was later convicted of four other killings; he was executed in 1996.)

Bend City Councilor Jeff Eager, second from left, was unanimously approved as Bend’s new mayor Wednesday at the Municipal Courthouse. Newcomer Scott Ramsay, far right, was also sworn in on the council during the ceremony, along with councilors Mark Capell, third from left, and Jodie Barram, fourth from left. Also pictured are councilors Tom Greene, far left, and Jim Clinton, second from right.

Bend Continued from C1 Joining him at the head of the council is Barram, a substitute educational assistant with the High Desert Education Service District, and a former Bend planning commissioner.

While she lost the 2008 election to Eager, she was appointed to the governing body shortly after then-Councilor Bill Friedman died. She ran unopposed in last November’s election.

After Eager, she is the second youngest person on the council at 37.

Ramsay the only new face on council Barram, Ramsay and Councilor Mark Capell, who beat out two challengers in the November election to win his second consecutive four-year term on the council, were all sworn in by Municipal Court Judge Brian Hemphill on Wednesday.

Of those individuals, Ramsay will be the only new face on the council.

Running for a vacant seat in the November election, Ramsay beat out Downtown Bend Business Association Execu-

Manager Continued from C1 Mayor George Endicott also lauded Novick’s work, pointing to her ability to pursue grant money and other funding to pay for projects.

Endicott estimated that about half of the airport expansion

tive Director Chuck Arnold by three votes. He was one of the top fundraisers in the council races, and ran on a platform that he said would draw upon his experience as a businessman who owns both the Sun Mountain Fun Center and Casarama, an antique and vintage store on Division Street.

After he took his seat on the council, he said that despite his small margin of victory over Arnold he will not pander to only the segment of voters who cast their votes in his favor during the election, and will make decisions based on what he believes is best for Bend. “I have a very level head and broad perspective,� Ramsay said. “I will work my very hardest to make sure ... I work for the betterment of the community.�

Ramsay is replacing Councilor Oran Teater, who decided not to run in the November election.

As part of Wednesday’s ceremony, the councilors bid farewell to Teater, who has served on the council for ten years, including two consecutive four-year terms from 1996 to 2004, and a twoyear stint as mayor from 2003 to 2004. Teater’s most recent shift on the council lasted two years, from 2009 to 2010, after he was appointed to fill a vacancy left

by Chris Telfer who resigned to take a position in the state senate.

During his outgoing speech, Teater urged the city councilors to explore making the mayor an elected position rather than one that is chosen by the councilors.

He also said that with the state of the economy and Bend’s budget that he did not “envy� the councilors’ job.

was paid for with state and federal grants.

The city does not plan on waiting to find a replacement for Novick, Endicott said. Redmond will start a nationwide search as soon as possible. “We’d like to have some over-

lap,� Endicott said. “Running an airport is such a complicated business and each one is unique.�

Beautification program He also said he considers one of his greater achievements over the past two years to be his involvement with the Bend Beautification Program that enlists volunteers to help with landscaping tasks throughout the city, such as pulling weeds and maintaining roundabouts and medians.

He said that since that program began the city has had more than 1,500 volunteers contribute 12,000 hours of work. “We are fortunate to live in a community that gives back,�

Teater said. “Remember that the price you pay for living here is giving back to your community.�

O O B Oops! Almanac lists Dudley as governor PORTLAND — The list of new governors in the World Almanac and Book of Facts is wrong on one fact — the winner in Oregon was not Republican Chris Dudley.

The Oregonian reported the respected almanac was under a tight deadline when it went to print the day after the Nov. 2 election, when Dudley was clinging to a slight lead.

But last-minute results from Multnomah County, with the largest population in Oregon, gave Democrat John Kitzhaber the victory.

Sarah Janssen, the World Almanac’s editor, said it was the first mistake found in the 2011 edition of the book, and she would personally correct the online version.

But Janssen said there’s nothing she could do to fix the 1,008-page print version found in libraries, schools and on office desks around the world.

Police officers walk through the scene where a Rainier Police Chief Ralph Painter was shot and killed Wednesday in Rainier. The suspect was later wounded in a shootout with other officers, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office said.

Rainier police chief killed in struggle with suspect Veteran lawman gunned down while investigating report of theft

By Nigel Duara

Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson, left, and Rainier Mayor Jerry Cole talk about the shooting death of the city’s police chief. Painter was shot and killed while on a disturbance call.

The Associated Press

RAINIER — The popular police chief of this small town was shot to death Wednesday while investigating a report of an attempted car theft at a strip mall, authorities said.

The suspect was wounded by gunfire shortly afterward after several officers rushed to the scene.

The killing of Rainier Police Chief Ralph Painter, 55, stunned the town of 1,800 along the Columbia River, which had never before lost an officer in the line of duty.

“Ralph Painter has been here for over 20 years and worked his way up through the ranks from police officer to sergeant to police chief,” said Mayor Jerry Cole. “It’s like the dream job, or dream town, for a police officer.

He’ll be missed greatly.”

Cole said Rainier’s police force consisted of Painter and four other officers, and it was not unusual for the chief to respond to a call.

“We’re a small agency, and we use every resource available.”

Painter has a son in law enforcement, Cole said.

“It’s just a sad day for Rainier,” he said.

The suspect was not identified Wednesday. Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson said he’s not believed to be from Rainier. Authorities said he was hospitalized.

At a news conference, Dickerson would not say how the suspect was armed, or whether Painter was shot with his own weapon. He said he didn’t know who fired the round that hit the suspect.

Painter went to the Rainier Sound Authority shop, a car audio dealer, about 10:45 a.m. because “a person there was trying to take a vehicle that did not belong to him,” the sheriff said.

Law enforcement officers detain a man suspected of fatally shooting Rainier Police Chief Ralph Painter on Wednesday.

“When he arrived, he confronted a suspect,” Dickerson said. “The suspect fired a shot at the chief and struck him, and he died as a result of the injuries.”

Program allows homeowners to lease solar panels cheaply The Associated Press PORTLAND — Under a new program, Oregon homeowners can choose to lease solar panel systems instead of buying, avoiding upfront costs while reducing electricity bills.

The Oregonian reported that contractors in a handful of states are starting to offer solar panel leases, and Oregon is joining the trend, thanks to regulations that took effect Jan. 1.

Managers of SolarCity, a California-based company, said Oregon homeowners can go solar for as little as $20 a month. The new financing option, which incorporates state and federal tax credits, results from an Oregon Energy Department rule change.

The new approach departs from programs that have required homeowners to spend thousands of dollars on systems that gradually yield returns.

Witnesses said other officers from a variety of agencies arrived at the strip mall quickly, eventually numbering as many as 30.

The officers ordered a man to drop a weapon and fired multiple shots into the Sound Authority building, said John Harper, who is opening a tobacco store.

“The cops just unleashed on him,” he told the Longview Daily News.

The Rev. Jeff McCracken of the Rainier Assembly of God church described 20 to 30 police cars converging on the strip mall and a man “kinda wandering around” a late 1960s Chevelle.

“They started yelling at him to drop the weapon, which we hadn’t seen because he was on the far side of the vehicle,” McCracken told AP Radio in a phone interview. He said he told people in the church to get down.

“A round came through the window that I was looking through, about six inches above my head where I’d just been standing,” McCracken said.

“There’s gunfire going off from the police officers, as well, so we just got out of there as quickly as we could.”

Barking dog provides prompt fire alert HAPPY VALLEY — Oscar the Labradoodle proved to be a valuable fire alarm Wednesday.

His insistent barking alerted his Happy Valley, Ore., owner to a neighbor’s blazing minivan.

Clackamas Fire District 1 spokesman Steve McAdoo said Oscar’s owner found the dog looking out a window at the fire, barking relentlessly. She called 911 and fire crews were able to extinguish the blaze before it spread to the neighbor’s home. McAdoo said the minivan may be a total loss. The fire also charred the exterior of the garage doors.

McAdoo praised the pup, saying “because of Oscar’s actions, someone noticed the fire before it spread to the home from the minivan.”

Ashland parks worker accused of theft ASHLAND — An Ashland Parks and Recreation Department employee has been accused of theft.

The Ashland Daily Tidings reported that 48-year-old Rebecca Bianco was arrested Tuesday and charged with stealing $43,390 from the department over a two-year period.

Bianco was accused of funneling fraudulent refunds for recreation classes or park facility rentals into several credit card accounts belonging to her.

The charges include aggravated theft, aggravated identity theft, computer crime and falsifying business records.

Bianco was placed on paid administrative leave in early November. Two other parks employees have been accused of theft in recent months in an apparently unrelated case.

Marion County dog shelter at capacity SALEM — A wave of stray dogs this week has overwhelmed the Marion County Dog Control and Shelter.

Office manager Sonya Pulvers told the (Salem) Statesman Journal that fireworks on New Year’s Eve may have led to the increase in strays. The shelter took in 25 dogs Monday and several more Tuesday.

Pulvers said the county holds the dogs for as many as five days before putting them up for adoption. Some may go to dog rescue programs but others are euthanized. The Willamette Humane Society has not seen a similar upswing.

Eugene man pleads guilty to sex abuse EUGENE — A Eugene man has pleaded guilty to repeatedly sexually abusing a boy and filming some of the sexual encounters.

The (Eugene) Register-Guard reported that David James Woodworth made the plea Tuesday to 20 counts that included sexual abuse, sodomy and using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct. He previously denied the allegations.

Judge Charles Zennache says Woodworth could face more than 306 years in prison, since 16 of the charges carry mandatory minimum prison terms under state law.

Court documents show that Lane County authorities arrested Woodworth in September after a woman said she found in his computer dozens of photos of him sexually abusing a boy.

An affidavit shows the woman also told authorities she found child pornography in a photo album and on his cell phone.

Street fee must be temporary

W

hen the Bend City Council last considered a street utility fee 18 months ago, we held our noses and supported it. The idea doesn’t smell much better today,

no matter how necessary it may be.

For that reason, any citywide fee used to generate money for streets should be set to expire in 2014, when the city can float a gasoline tax that would be paid by all who fill their tanks in Bend.

City officials make a plausible case that they need to find more money to maintain streets. Bend’s backlog for repairs stood at about $12 million in the summer of 2009, and the city’s revenue picture has not brightened since then.

The city will, of course, see additional revenue as a result of an increase in the state gas tax that went into effect this year. Still, say city officials, the difference won’t fill the maintenance gap.

The proposal to reconsider a street utility fee comes from Bend’s Public Safety Funding Committee, which is looking at a variety of ways to preserve core city services. The city has not updated figures since it last looked at them 18 months ago, when the City Council rejected a similar proposal.

Still, it’s worth considering again.

Ultimately, a utility tax (er, fee) isn’t a particularly fair way to raise money for streets. A hike in the gas tax is, but the 2009 Legislature took

Bend’s backlog for repairs stood at about $12 million in the summer of 2009, and the city’s revenue picture has not brightened since then. that option off the table, at least temporarily. When lawmakers hiked the state’s gas tax last year, they gave cities a small window to impose fuel taxes on their own. Bend didn’t take advantage of the opportunity. Fortunately, the state’s prohibition on local taxes expires in 2014, at which time Bend should seek to replace any road fee with a tax.

Fuel taxes, unlike fees paid by homeowners, fall not only on Bend residents, but on all who use our streets and fill up their cars while doing so.

Tourists will pay, as will commuters.

Those who drive more will pay more than those who drive less or not at all.

If the City Council absolutely must scrape up more money for street maintenance soon, it should do so by means of a fee that expires as soon as a far better option — a local gas tax — becomes available.

Specialty court for veterans could work S

pecialty courts have become something of a hot item in Oregon, and with good reason.

When they function properly, they divert potential criminals before their crimes escalate.

Now Deschutes County and the Partnership to End Poverty are working together to start a specialty court that will target veterans in the way its other specialty courts target participants. If the court does become reality, it will join 50 or so similar courts around the United States in places as diverse as Buffalo, N.Y., Tucson, Ariz., and Clark County, Wash.

Establishing a veterans court makes sense, says Scott Cooper, executive director of the partnership.

Nationwide, he says, a high percentage of veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq suffer from either traumatic brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder, conditions that can raise the possibility of substance abuse and involvement in the criminal justice system, among other things.

Cooper notes that once a person has a criminal record, whether or not he is a veteran, he is much more likely to be poor in the future.

The proposed veterans court won’t give all veterans a pass for all behavior, however, Cooper says. The court will be available only to those accused of relatively minor, nonvio-

lent crimes.

Meanwhile, participation is voluntary, and not just for the veteran. The district attorney’s office can decline to participate in the court on a caseby-case basis, and the crime victim also will have to approve. Veterans who do wish to participate will have to have or obtain a diagnosis of injury or PTSD to participate. The court will differ from mental health courts because veterans will be paired with mentors from Central Oregon Veterans Outreach, Cooper said.

As with other specialty courts, those charged in the new veterans court will not automatically escape a sentence for their crimes. Instead, sentences, which court officials say will be comparable to sentences imposed in other specialty courts, will be deferred while the defendant receives treatment for his or her problems. If treatment is completed successfully, the charges will be dropped, according to an earlier report in The Bulletin.

Studies that track specialty courts and those who appear in them find lower recidivism rates and reduced substance abuse, according to “American Corrections: Theory, Research, Practice and Policy” by Matt DiLisi and Peter John Conis.

That’s just what those behind the veterans court are hoping for.

My Nickel’s Worth What about cats?

I’m curious, so I must ask. At least twice this winter there have been dogs rescued from the icy waters in Bend. I am all for the rescue of these dogs, but the fire departments say they can’t be bothered with rescuing cats from trees.

What is the difference?

They are both animals in distress.

They both need human help. They are both loved by someone, or at least we care about them as living, breathing creatures.

I would like to see more compassion for all animals by the fire departments of the area, please.

The rich and taxes Regarding Alan Pachtman’s letter “Cowardly Obama” and Carl Barnhart’s letter “Tax the rich,” I am so very tired of their mantra about taxing the rich more.

Let’s consider the facts. The top 1 percent of wage earners pay 39 percent of the taxes; the top 5 percent pay 60 percent of taxes; the top 50 percent pay 97 percent of taxes; and the bottom 43 percent pay zero taxes.

Gosh, even Pachtman and Barnhart can see that the higher earners already pay more than their fair share of taxes to support those who don’t. I for one believe everyone should pay some federal/state taxes.

Instead of trying to extort more from the higher earners, why not demand that our government spend less and quit wasting our money? With more than 6,000 pork projects in the latest

spending bill, it is obvious our liberal politicians have not a clue of the crisis we are in currently. It is not a tax problem. It is a spending problem.

Land Trust success Thank you for Kate Ramsayer’s recent article, “Land Trust buys Whychus Preserve.” Central Oregon owes a huge thank you to the generous donors who made it possible for the Deschutes Land Trust to carry on its 15-year history of protecting irreplaceable Central Oregon lands and water.

Purchase of the Whychus Preserve will allow the land trust to create improved habitat for returning steelhead, establish a community trail along the lower reaches of Whychus Creek and improve habitat for birds and migrating deer.

Without the land trust’s generous donors — and its volunteers and staff — none of this would be possible.

Military not in charge In Russell Williams’ Dec. 28 letter to the editor, “Military is in charge,” nothing could be further from the truth. I fear he is either an anti-war enthusiast — but who isn’t? — or left-wing, antiUnited States zealot.

If the military were in charge, they would have received all the reinforcements they had asked for in Afghani-

stan. The threat to the peace of the U.S. would have been shortened. As a result, Obama’s hold-back of troops has permitted this Muslim threat to claim more of our young people than is necessary.

Williams probably also thinks that Roosevelt’s policies brought us out of the Depression. In this he again is in error. In 1938 we were in a deep depression.

Then in 1939 the Nazis attacked the British. We came up with the Lend Lease program, re-established the military capability and began shipping war materials to the British. The war effort to fight the dictators, such as the Nazis and Japanese, brought us out of the Depression.

Bad cartoon Regarding the Jan. 3 editorial cartoon The Bulletin chose to print, you’ve shown extremely poor taste in passing on a cheap shot at a teenager (at the time of her pregnancy), regardless of the political persuasion of her mother, Sarah Palin. I’m sure the cartoonist feels he’s justified in this smutty endeavor because of perceived hypocritical statements from the young girl’s parent. There is no justification!

A follow-up cartoon should then depict President Obama marching his daughter (as he said he would do) to an abortion clinic if she made a “mistake.”

Shame on The Bulletin for further embarrassing a young girl for her “mistake,” which she has owned up to without murdering an unborn child.

Restoring river’s path might be best Mirror Pond solution

By Tim Galvin Bulletin guest columnist

W

hat to do with Mirror Pond?

It’s no surprise, really: The Bend community remains mired in the muck over how to pay for the dredging of Mirror Pond (“Fixing Mirror Pond demands a new look, officials say,” The Bulletin, Dec. 26). After all, who wants to pony up the $5 million or so to dig out Mirror Pond, especially knowing that the process will likely have to be repeated, at an ever-escalating cost, in another 20 years or so?

One nearby landowner and the Bend Park and Recreation District even had to pay this fall to harvest the weeds that thrive in the silt of Mirror Pond — a short-term measure to address a problem gone seriously awry (The Bulletin, Oct. 25).

So why not consider a permanent fix?

More to the point, why not consider re-

storing the Deschutes River to its natural channel and flow as it meanders through Bend?

Sure, lots of folks have weighed in with the view that, given Mirror Pond’s “iconic” status, it must be dredged and restored. Surprisingly, even The Bulletin, when it comes to Mirror Pond, seems quick to abandon the paper’s regular demands for government austerity and caution, calling Mirror Pond a “staple of postcards.” “There’s no need to study anything … Rather than dithering, studying, and fussing … (city) councilors should concentrate on the real issue at hand: finding the money to fix the pond as soon as possible, nothing more (The Bulletin, Dec. 28, 2007).”

Seriously?

In this period of dwindling budget coffers, shouldn’t we set aside sentiment and ask some much harder questions before taxpayers are asked to

IN MY VIEW dredge up more funds? For example, do the economic benefits of restoring Mirror Pond outweigh the costs? And just what are those economic benefits, and who receives them?

Perhaps more telling are those who receive the economic benefits willing to pay the costs of regular dredging? If not, why should taxpayers in general be on the hook for these costs?

Why not instead restore the Deschutes River to its natural channel and flow through Bend — at least as “natural” as the present managed river system would allow? Imagine a future in which the current mud flats of a silted Mirror Pond are replaced — permanently — by an expanded green space in Drake Park. A larger central park at the heart of Bend would better accom-

modate a range of civic activities, from farmers markets to concerts to bike paths.

What’s more, some of the same planning and conservation expertise that was applied so admirably to riparian restoration near the Old Mill District could be adopted with equal benefit to a renewed Deschutes River along an expanded Drake Park. Yes, preserving icons is important. Yet is there anything more iconic to our region than the major river that defines it?

Perhaps there are several good reasons — more than just sentimental — against re-establishing the Deschutes’ original path through Bend. But what are they? And are those technical or cost considerations more insurmountable than the challenge of dredging Mirror Pond every generation? Some apparently blame other causes such as irregular releases from Wickiup for the

sediment buildup in Mirror Pound (The Bulletin, Dec. 26), but that overlooks the much more fundamental fact that where there’s a dam, there will likely be sediment gathering behind it.

Restoring the Deschutes to a near natural state in Bend would also require money, of course. But it seems that both public and private funds are much more readily available for projects that seek to restore nature’s work in a lasting way.

For numerous examples, see www. tu.org/press-room/trout-magazine. Let’s finish this job, once and for all, and put the problem behind us.

Finally, there may be another benefit to a permanent solution: The absence of mud and stagnant water just might make Drake Park less inviting to resident Canada geese.

Congressman William R. Ratchford, 76

By Emma Brown The Washington Post

William R. Ratchford, a Democrat who served three terms in Congress as a representative from Connecticut and who later became a lobbyist and a Clinton administration official, died Jan. 2 at Goodwin House Bailey’s Crossroads in Falls Church, Va. He was 76 and had Parkinson’s disease.

Ratchford represented Connecticut from 1979 until 1984.

His 5th District was a swath of the southwestern part of the state that included wealthy suburbs as well as struggling mill towns in the Naugatuck Valley and small cities with industrial pasts.

He held seats on the Education and Labor Committees, the Permanent Select Committee on Aging and, in his third term, the powerful Appropriations Committee.

After winning election in 1978, Ratchford survived the Republican tide of 1980 and won again in 1982. He lost his reelection bid in 1984 to Republican John G. Rowland, who went on to become Connecticut’s governor.

Ratchford, who remained in the Washington area, took a job with the lobbying firm Gold & Leibengood. His first day at work was Jan. 4, 1985, the day after his congressional term expired - a quick turnaround that he said was due in part to having sons in college.

“The tuition bills keep coming,” Ratchford told The New York Times in the waning days of his term. “That doesn’t give you much time to contemplate your future.”

Unicycles Continued from C1 In 2010, Thomason applied for and received a $1,200 grant from the Education Foundation for the Bend-La Pine Schools to purchase 11 unicycles.

Now about 50 students are learning to unicycle at Pine Ridge Elementary, including a large beginners’ group and a smaller, more advanced group.

On Wednesday, the advanced intermediate group cycled around the gym practicing tricks, hopping on and off their unicycles and wearing intense looks of both concentration and joy.

Heather Vihstadt, the executive director of the education foundation, said she was drawn to the grant because it was innovative.

“It’s so different,” she said.

“But it’s promoting physical fitness and the kids obviously love it. There’s a huge demand for it.”

The $1,200 grant was one of 29 classroom grants the foundation handed out in 2010. Overall, the foundation gave nearly $41,000 to teachers to provide everything from updated keyboard instruments to new document cameras to a greenhouse.

“I thought this was really cre-

Tumalo Continued from C1 But several times a year, the culverts and ditches near the treatment facility become clogged with debris — sometimes from beaver dams — or get overwhelmed when more water comes through the system than the diversion pipes can handle.

When this happens, the water spills out of the ditches and around the pipes, cascading down a steep embankment and causing a significant amount of erosion along its way to Tumalo Creek. That then turns the normally clear water of the creek to a muddy brown.

Nigg said the DEQ has received complaints about this turbidity over the years, but wasn’t able to pinpoint the city as the culprit until a Bend resident who was jogging through Shevlin Park took some pictures and video of the sedimentation and submitted them to the state agency.

The DEQ performed a field inspection of the city’s water system early last month, and has now asked the city if it’s feasible to make some minor changes to its operations.

Some of these changes include whether the city should install some sort of device to reduce the amount of debris that clogs its infrastructure or if it should partner with Bend Parks & Recreation to inspect the ditches and culverts to ensure there isn’t anything blocking them. Other slight alterations the DEQ wants Bend to explore is whether it could install an alarm system to notify city staff about possible clogs or if it should implement a training program that outlines clear procedures for managing and preventing future overflows.

“We expect to get some kind of response by the middle of the

Landfill Continued from C1 Once Knott Landfill closes, the cost of transporting garbage to the landfill will likely increase, because future landfills will be farther from Bend.

“I guess I believe the investment in education and promotion is money well spent,” Schimke said.

The county solicited proposals for the service from other companies, and only one other company — a firm in Northern California — responded.

The firms that have typically responded in the past were public relations firms, and they proposed advertising campaigns to promote recycling and waste diversion, Schimke said.

“These guys are out there in the streets, in the classrooms,” Schimke said of The Environmental Center. “It’s very much one-on-one with the citizens, an ongoing effort. We haven’t been able to come close to that with anyone else, with the dollars we’re willing to spend.”

ative and outside the box,” Vihstadt said.

That’s part of what appealed to Thomason.

“I like to do things that are not traditional,” Thomason said.

“You don’t see many people unicycling.”

It may not seem like an obvious early-morning activity. But Thomason said she’s seen many benefits.

Parents report that on unicycle days, kids get themselves up and ready for school in order to be on time.

“It’s a motivational tool,” Thomason said.

Other students who have struggled with traditional sports or have had behavior issues in school have found success on the unicycle, giving them a sense of accomplishment and cutting down on problems.

“It also teaches perseverance,” she said. “They just try and try and try.”

Other benefits include an increase in core strength and legwork, balance and other physical skills. And for some students who might be restless at the idea of sitting in a classroom all day, a little before-school unicycling gets rid of some of that energy.

Plus, while balancing on one wheel might be nerve-wracking

Clean and muddy water runs down Tumalo Creek in Shevlin Park in November after part of the city of Bend’s Bridge Creek water system became clogged with debris. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is working with the city to find a solution to the problem. month and then develop some type of plan,” Nigg said. “We believe they can probably, through a combination of maintenance and planning their operations differently, keep the water in the pipes.”

According to Heidi Lansdowne, the project manager for Bend’s Water Division, the city has already increased its monitoring and cleaning of the overflow ditches and culverts, and has included these into a “standard operating procedure” document.

She said the city is also in the process of setting up an alarm system that will help notify staff members about possible overflows over the weekends when

inspections normally do not occur.

“The problem of the overflow at Outback is being addressed now,” Lansdowne said. “The problem of the overflow at Outback will also be addressed when we do the surface water project.”

The city’s approved $58 million upgrade to the Bridge Creek system should remedy the overflow issue because it will include a new pipeline and intake facility that can limit how much water is diverted to only the amount that is needed to meet demand in the city.

That overhaul will also include a water treatment facility and a possible hydropower plant

Commissioners support drone testing area Deschutes County commissioners on Wednesday pledged their unanimous support for a proposal to open a military operations area to the testing of drones.

The military area covers eastern Deschutes County, southern Crook County, western Harney County and northeastern Lake County.

The idea, which was proposed by the nonprofit Economic Development for Central Oregon, already won the endorsement of the Bend City Council in December. Some councilors did withhold their support, citing concerns raised by some constituents about the military use of unmanned vehicles in the Middle East.

Federal lawmakers are also working to move the proposal forward. In mid-December, Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley wrote a letter to the head of the Federal Aviation Administration, urging the agency to explore the proposal.

“At this point, we believe that this is an intriguing proposal and that central Oregon may be uniquely positioned for this type of activity,” the lawmakers wrote.

Tom Towslee, a spokesman for Wyden, said Tuesday that the Federal Aviation Administration was in the process of drafting a response to the letter.

— Hillary Borrud, The Bulletin

of The Environmental Center, said his organization is working on a wide variety of programs to increase recycling and prevent the creation of waste in the first

for adults, kids are more brave.

“Kids learn so much faster and they have much less fear,” Thomason said.

Jacob Ellender, 9, has been participating in the unicycle program for a year and a half. He actually owns a unicycle but it’s missing some bolts, so for now he’s using one of the school’s.

The best part of the unicycle mornings is getting to ride around.

“We get to play hockey or basketball” on the unicycles, he said.

Amaya Thomas, 10, also enjoys the hockey, but more than that it’s about spending time with her friends and challenging herself.

“I’ve always wanted to try something that’s harder, to reach out for something,” she said. “And it’s fun.”

So far, Amaya’s working on level-one aspects of unicycling, like mounting unassisted and riding 50 meters before dismounting with the unicycle in front.

For the first few weeks of the 2010-11 school year, three or four students showed up for every available unicycle. But the fervor has quieted, and now there are about 50 regulars who come in a few mornings a week.

The beginners, Thomason said, spend a lot of time balancing on the wall and falling. But

place. These efforts range from classroom education of school children, to increasing recycling at events and during demolition and construction.

the advanced intermediate group can not only ride, they practice mounting the unicycle in different ways, jumping off of mats, even riding with their stomachs on the seats.

Four signs hang on the wall of the gym detailing the different skills required for a student to move from one level of unicycling to the next. Some students spend their mornings working on achieving new skills, and Thomason watches them and checks the skill off on a checklist.

Others enjoy simply rolling around.

Originally, Thomason had hoped to do a unicycle unit in her physical education classes, but because of concerns about helmets and safety, she decided to simply offer it before school.

Soon Thomason hopes to organize the unicycle students to perform at an assembly and eventually at halftime of a basketball game.

But for now, the group sometimes looks like controlled chaos.

Bryce has reached the third skill level, working on skills like hopping five times and riding with the stomach on the seat for 10 meters. He’s pretty proud of himself.

“I was doing it last year and it was really frustrating for me,” he

that could increase the overall cost to $73 million.

City Manager Eric King said the city is now working on its official response to the DEQ’s letter and expects to have something to the state agency in the coming weeks. For the most part, he said all the questions the DEQ asked seemed appropriate and are things the city “should do anyway” to be proactive in preventing future overflows and turbidity in Tumalo Creek.

“It all seems reasonable,” King said. “Those are all steps that we are committed to taking.”

Nick Grube can be reached at 541-633-2160 or at ngrube@bendbulletin.com.

“A small part of that (county) budget comes back around to make sure that system is efficient,” Riley said. “The cheapest option for our community is to keep the current landfill open as long as possible.”

Commissioner Alan Unger said he had questions about why the Department of Solid Waste was spending 2.5 percent of its budget on the education program. Learning to recycle and reuse materials is a benefit to the community, Unger said, “because we waste things all the time.” But the county also needs to examine what it pays for, “because these are really hard times.”

Commissioner Tammy Baney said the county’s budget process would be a good time to determine whether to continue paying for The Environmental Center programs, and if so, how much.

Officials will soon have to make “tough decisions” on the county budget, she said.

said. “I was scared to get off the wall. I was like a magnet on the wall. I thought I was going to fall when I pushed off.”

This year, Bryce tried again and was able to make strides.

Still, he’s had challenges, like free-mounting the unicycle without assistance or the wall to help.

“I had big bruises all over,” he said.

That’s certainly a side-effect of a roomful of unicycling children.

“They’re like magnets,” Thomason said, laughing. All around her, kids toppled off their cycles and ran into another. But with their helmets and the spongy gym floor, the students popped right back up and back onto their unicycles.

Brooklynn Anderson, 9, just wanted a new challenge.

“I know how to ride a bike, and I wanted to try it with one wheel,” she said. “It’s hard. The hardest part is staying on the unicycle.”

Indeed, throughout the gym students waved their arms around while astride the onewheeled contraptions.

“It’s really fun and you get to hang out with your friends,” Brooklynn said.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Beavers receiver Rodgers granted medical hardship CORVALLIS — Oregon State flanker James Rodgers has been granted a medical hardship for this past season, meaning he can return for 2011.

Rodgers, a senior, played in four of the team’s first five games before he OSU’s James suffered a Rodgers left knee injury that required surgery.

“I’m thankful for this opportunity and that I have another chance to play at Oregon State,” Rodgers said in a press release. “I want to thank the fans and everyone for their support.”

A team captain, Rodgers was averaging 176.8 all-purpose yards per game when he was injured, ranking him sixth in the nation.

Rodgers, the older brother of running back Jacquizz Rodgers, had not used a redshirt season while at Oregon State.

“We always believed that James met the requirements to gain a fifth year,” head coach Mike Riley said. “But it is certainly nice to make everything official. James is a special person and a special player. I’m excited to get to work with him for another year.”

Panthers, Cowboys take IMC Hybrid matches Bulletin staff report

Michigan fires coach Rodriguez ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan hired Rich Rodriguez to take college football’s winningest program to another level.

He did just that, and it cost him his job.

Rodriguez was fired Wednesday after going 15-22 in three disappointing seasons, including an 0-6 record combined against rivals Ohio State and Michigan State, and staining the proud program with a handful of NCAA violations.

“Michigan is not used to this,” said athletic director Dave Brandon, who met with Rodriguez on Tuesday and again Wednesday before announcing the firing.

“I believe this is the best decision for the future of Michigan football,” Brandon said. “We have not achieved at the level that I expect.”

Rodriguez, who was highly successful at West Virginia before arriving in Ann Arbor, was just 6-18 in Big Ten play and 11-11 at home. The school will buy out the final three years of Rodriguez’s contract for $2.5 million, bringing its overall cost in hiring and firing him to $12.5 million.

Brandon said he will immediately begin a search for a replacement.

Paul Mosely, 46, of La Pine, casts while fly fishing at the Fall River fish hatchery south of Sunriver in December. Angling in winter presents a lot of challenges, but it can still be enjoyable.

Out in the cold?

Want to fish in the winter in Central Oregon?

Here are a few tips for wetting a line when the temperature drops

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

The weather is frigid, the fish are not extremely active, and success can be as hard to come by as a warm ray of sun.

Some might consider trout fishing during the winter in Central Oregon an exercise in futility.

Yet those hardy anglers who venture to the Crooked, Fall, Metolius and Middle Deschutes rivers this time of year know better.

And many of them know some helpful hints to maximize the winter angling experience.

Before you head out into the ice and snow to cast a line on one of Central Or-

HUNTING & FISHING egon’s scenic rivers this winter, take a few pointers from those in the know.

• Always layer up.

Dressing in layers is a good idea for all outdoor activities in the winter, including fishing.

“The first thing I would say, especially in our area, is to be layered up and be warm,” says Bob Gaviglio, owner of the Sunriver Fly Shop.

• The lighter the better.

Because smaller flies tend to work better than larger flies in the winter, Gaviglio recommends using a light rod. Four-weight rods and finer tippets are a plus, he says.

• Timing is everything when fishing during the winter.

Fish are going to be active only during the warmest parts of the day, unlike in summertime, when fish tend to be more active during the cool of mornings and evenings. Fly anglers always talk about keeping “banker’s hours” during the winter — not necessarily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but more like 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., according to Gaviglio.

Alomar, Blyleven elected to Hall of Fame

By Tyler Kepner New York Times News Service

Roberto Alomar was 9 years old in 1977 when his father, Sandy, was traded from the Yankees to the Texas Rangers. Alomar and his brother tagged along to games at old Arlington Stadium, playing ball in the parking lot with the other players’ sons, including 4-year-old Todd Blyleven.

Late in the next decade, Alomar embarked on a career as one of the most dynamic all-around players in base-

ball history. Todd’s father, Bert, was still pitching then, quietly compiling impressive statistics that have, at last, become impossible to ignore.

Alomar and Blyleven were elected to the Hall of Fame on Wednesday, Alomar in his second year on the ballot, Blyleven in his 14th. Alomar received 523 of 581 votes, for 90 percent, while Blyleven finished with 463, for 79.7 percent. Candidates needed 436 votes, or 75 percent, to be enshrined.

Redmond and Crook County each cruised to easy Intermountain Hybrid wrestling wins Wednesday night, as the Panthers rolled past host Mountain View 54-9, while the Cowboys defeated Summit in Prineville 69-3.

Redmond won 11 of 14 matches against the Cougars, including the first four of the night. In the most competitive match of the night, Panther freshman Ty George defeated Mountain View’s Jake McDonald 2-1 at 119 pounds. George recorded a first-period takedown and held on for the win.

Brandon Short (103 pounds), Allen Jeppsen (112), Boomer Fleming (145), Tanner Barichio (152) and Gunner Sigado (171) all recorded pins for Redmond, which wrestles at the Rollie Lane Invitational in Nampa, Idaho, this weekend.

“Tanner Barichio getting a pin in his first varsity match was big,” Panther coach Nathan Stanley said. “And Sarek Shields wrestled really well at 160 pounds, losing 11-9 to a kid (Wyatt Bloom) who we think is real good. Allen Jeppsen also did well at 112 pounds.”

Trevor Roberts (215 pounds), Connor Wiese (189) and Bloom (160) all posted wins for the Cougars, who are scheduled to compete at the Bend High Invitational on Friday.

At Crook County High School, the Cowboys won every match but one against the Storm. Sean Seefeldt defeated Crook County’s Lucas Smith in the night’s 171pound match for Summit’s lone victory. Freshman Grayson Munn registered a 13-11 overtime win at 112 pounds and Rhett Smith posted a 16-0 technical fall at 215 pounds to highlight the Cowboys’ night.

Crook County is off until Saturday’s six-team Lebanon Invitational. The Storm are back on the mat Saturday as well, wrestling at Bend High’s tournament.

on his serve — and 11 of 37 overall.

• Owner: Time to let Vince Young go: Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams says it’s time to let Vince Young go and for the franchise to find its next quarterback. The Titans released a statement Wednesday night in which Adams said Young won’t be on the team’s roster next season, but he’s still evaluating the coaching staff. “We have two critical decisions to make, the direction of the coaching staff and the future at the quarterback position. They are separate issues to me and will be dealt with separately,” Adams said. Young is 30-17 in his five NFL seasons, but only 13-14 against teams finishing a season at .500 or better.

He’s also battled questions over his work ethic, leadership and injuries.

• Stanford’s Harbaugh to meet with 49ers: Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh was meeting Wednesday with the San Francisco 49ers about their head coach vacancy, a person with knowledge of the situation said.

Harbaugh returned Tuesday night to the Bay Area from a 40-12 Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech in Miami that gave the Cardinal a program-best 12-1 record. Aside from his alma mater, the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos are teams believed to have interest in Harbaugh.

• Saints RB Thomas out for the playoffs: The defending champion Saints will have try to repeat without their top two power running backs. Pierre Thomas, one of the stars of last season’s Super Bowl run, was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday because of his injured ankle. The Saints made that move only one day after placing leading rusher Chris Ivory on injured reserve because of a left foot injury that occurred during Sunday’s regular season finale. When the Saints (11-5) open the playoffs in Seattle (7-9) on Saturday, the only remaining healthy running backs from their regular season roster will be Reggie Bush and Julius Jones.

• Jets appealing NFL’s $100K fine: The New York Jets are appealing the $100,000 fine issued by the NFL last week for violating league rules when assistant coach Sal Alosi ordered players to form a sideline wall, then tripped Miami’s Nolan Carroll during a punt return last month. Meeting with the media for the first time since the fine, special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff says Wednesday that he doesn’t want to discuss it because it is “an unresolved issue” and the Jets are appealing it. The team confirmed it is appealing the fine, calling it “a typical course of action.” The fine was in response to the actions of Alosi, the Jets’ strength and conditioning coach, and comments made by Westhoff, who said other teams employ similar sideline wall tactics.

Baseball • Beltre, Texas agree to deal: Adrian Beltre is taking over as the everyday third baseman for the AL champion Texas Rangers, and Michael Young is switching positions again. The Rangers introduced Beltre as their new third baseman Wednesday after agreeing on a $96 million, sixyear contract with the All-Star. Beltre is expected to hit fourth behind AL MVP and major league batting champion Josh Hamilton and ahead of slugger Nelson Cruz. Beltre, a two-time Gold Glove winner, hit .321 with 28 homers, 102 RBIs and 49 doubles in 154 games during his only season with Boston and was an All-Star for the first time in his career.

Tennis • Nadal, Federer advance: Top-ranked Rafael Nadal overcame a second-set collapse to beat Lukas Lacko of Slovakia 7-6 (3), 0-6, 6-3 Wednesday and join Roger Federer in the quarterfinals of the Qatar Open. Earlier, Federer beat fellow Swiss Marco Chiudinelli 7-6 (5), 7-5. Nadal, who is also playing doubles with Marc Lopez, had a fever earlier this week and looked uncharacteristically slow and sluggish on court. In the second set, he won just five of 18 points

• Lilly retires: Kristine Lilly only seemed as if she would play forever. The last remaining player from the U.S. teams that transformed women’s soccer from a fringe college sport into an international phenomenon announced Wednesday that she is retiring at 39. Her 352 appearances is an international record, and she is both the youngest and oldest player to score for the U.S. She is second only to Mia Hamm in both goals scored (130) and assists (105).

Basketball • Clippers’ Griffin to take part in dunk contest: Blake Griffin is bringing his ferocious dunks to the slam dunk contest.

The Los Angeles Clippers rookie will join Milwaukee point guard Brandon Jennings and big men JaVale McGee of Washington and Serge Ibaka of Oklahoma City in next month’s event at All-Star weekend, the NBA announced Wednesday. Griffin’s powerful slams have made him a YouTube sensation and the leading candidate for Rookie of the Year honors, and his presence brings a needed boost to what was a lackluster event last year. He will have home-court advantage in the contest at Staples Center on Feb. 19.

• Coach: No more gambling on Grizzlies’ flights: Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins has banned gambling on flights for Memphis after a fight between Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo on board an airplane during a return trip from Los Angeles. The team confirmed Allen and Mayo had a “brief altercation” on the charter flight back to Memphis on Monday, a day after a 104-85 win over the Lakers.

• UW loses starter for season: Starting guard Abdul Gaddy will miss the rest of the regular season for No. 23 Washington after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Gaddy suffered the injury in practice on Tuesday when he planted on a drive to the basket. Gaddy had started all 13 games for Washington (10-3) and averaged 8.5 points and 3.8 assists. Oregon plays at Washington today.

Golf • PGA commish supports a strong European Tour: The European Tour is stronger than ever, and PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem says he’s glad to see it. The new golf season begins today with the balance of power shifting toward Europe, which has the new world No. 1 in Lee Westwood and seven players among the top 11 in the world. Westwood, PGA champion Martin Kaymer and Rory McIlroy have decided not to take up membership in America, and the European Tour over the last two years has increased to 13 the number of events required of its players. All three were eligible for the Tournament of Champions at Kapalua, Hawaii, but chose not to attend. “This recent focus on three or four players, particularly as it relates to Europe, does not cause us concern,” Finchem said. “We see the need for these players to support the tour in Europe. We feel like a strong European Tour is in everybody’s interests — in our interests.”

Auto racing • Coma takes overall motorbike lead in Dakar Rally: Marc Coma’s motorbike lead was trimmed to 2 seconds while Carlos Sainz stretched his advantage in cars by winning his third stage in the Dakar Rally on Wednesday. With the race crossing the Andes into Chile’s Atacama Desert, Spain’s Coma finished 16 seconds ahead of French rival Cyril Despres to win the 129-mile fourth stage. Defending champion Sainz won the stage by 50 seconds over Volkswagen teammate Nasser Al-Attiyah. The victory pushed him 4 minutes, 24 seconds ahead of Al-Attiyah in the overall.

HOUSTON — The Portland Trail Blazers were determined not to drop a second straight close game on Wednesday after a three-point loss to Dallas a night earlier.

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 27 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to make sure that didn’t happen, leading the Trail Blazers to a 103-100 win over the Houston Rockets.

The loss spoiled a sensational performance

by Kevin Martin, who finished with a seasonhigh 45 points for Houston.

“It comes down to making plays,” Portland coach Nate McMillan said. “Last night, we didn’t do that and didn’t get stops. Tonight, we did.”

Rudy Fernandez gave Portland the lead with less than a minute remaining. Martin missed a shot on the other end and Aldridge grabbed the rebound and extended the lead with his bucket a few seconds later.

Luis Scola missed a shot for Houston and Aldridge was fouled on the rebound.

Aldridge hit two free throws with 5 seconds remaining before Kyle Lowry made a 3-pointer with 3.1 seconds left to cut the lead to 102-100.

Andre Miller made a free throw before Courtney Lee’s shot at the buzzer bounced off the rim.

The Trail Blazers, who are one spot ahead of the Rockets in the Western Conference standings, own the head-to-head tiebreaker over Houston with the win.

“It’s big for us,” Aldridge said. “We didn’t really want to talk about the tiebreaker because you don’t want to put too much pressure on it, but everybody knew that if it comes down to it with them, we should be good.”

The Rockets were without point guard Aaron Brooks, who missed the game after re-injuring the left ankle that kept him out 21 games earlier this season on Monday in a loss to Denver.

The Rockets led 85-76 when Martin took a breather with about 10 minutes remaining.

Portland took advantage of his absence to go on a 13-4 run capped by four points by Aldridge to tie it at 89 about 4 minutes later.

The Trail Blazers took their first lead of the fourth quarter on a 3-pointer by Patrick Mills that made it 92-91 with about 5½ minutes remaining. Mills matched his career high with 14 points for Portland and Fernandez finished with 12 points and five assists.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

No. 1 Duke still rolling, routs UAB to stay undefeated The Associated Press DURHAM, N.C. — Nolan Smith scored a career-high 33 points to help No. 1 Duke beat Alabama-Birmingham 85-64 on Wednesday night.

Kyle Singler added 15 points and scored his 2,000th career point during a gameopening 26-4 run that took the drama out of this one early. The Blue Devils (14-0) never let the Blazers (10-3) closer than 14 points the rest of the way.

Duke has won 24 straight games dating back to last season’s run to the Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA tournament championships, and 32 of 33 overall.

Continued from D1 Parenthood isn’t the only thing that separates Bair from his teammates — or just about any player in the country.

At 26, he’s eight years older than some of the freshmen on Oregon’s roster, at least two more than just about everybody else.

Bair is married, has been for nearly three years to Jordan, the relative of a family friend. He writes poetry and cooks — Dutch oven potatoes are a specialty — serves as a Sunday school teacher and volunteers with a Boy Scout troop.

Bair owns a used car business, High Point Auto, and is licensed, bonded and insured.

He already has a degree in counseling and educational psychology and worked a sales and marketing internship with an auto auction during the fall semester.

Bair also put off college football for two years so he could serve a two-year Mormon mission with Spanishspeaking farm workers in Florida, and is an unendingly positive force who’s energized just by living life.

“Obviously, he’s a father so he knows how to carry himself,” Oregon senior linebacker Casey Matthews said.

“The thing about him that’s different than most people is I don’t think he ever gets tired.

He’s got a motor. He’s always excited. He’ll always have a smile on his face no matter what goes on.”

After starring at South Fremont High School in St. Anthony, Idaho, Bair worked hard at staying in shape while on his mission and arrived at Eugene as a defensive end, figuring he’d be nothing more than a backup with the ends the Ducks already had on the roster.

A series of injuries in 2008 forced Bair inside and when Azzinaro arrived the next season, he saw an opportunity to use the rangy lineman as sort of a hybrid who could play up and down the line.

It worked out pretty well.

Relatively lanky at 6-foot7, 272 pounds, Bair can, at times, look like a toothpick trying to maneuver between rolling boulders. He makes up for it with speed, agility, can’ttell-by-looking-at-him power and an exceptionally analytical football mind.

Bair also plays with a relentlessness fueled by that eternally positive approach, going hard on every single play, no matter what happened on the one before.

As a junior, Bair led Oregon’s defensive linemen with 45 tackles, including 8.5 for losses, and he was one of the best in the nation at tackling for losses this season, notching 15.5. A tight end in high school, he also caught a 2-point conversion against Southern Cal for the first points of his college career and has helped the second-ranked Ducks get to the cusp of their first national championship.

“He’s a good player,” Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn said. “He’s a big, rangy guy and he can run, so that’s what stands out to me.”

Bair’s character is what gets attention around Eugene.

Though teammates often rib Bair about his age, they admire his dedication, in life and on the field, and the positive spin he puts on everything. If someone needs an example of how to do something, they turn to Bair. If someone needs advice on how to handle a situation, even head coach Chip Kelly, Bair is the first stop.

He is, and not just because of his age, like a respected uncle at Oregon.

“We look up to him,” Matthews said.

Bair has a bright future, whether it’s in the NFL, the car dealership or whatever he decides to do.

No matter where life leads him, though, Jordan and little Brooklyn — she’s almost 1½ — will always come first. That was evident when the Bairs considered leaving their daughter with a family member for the title game, then thought better of it and brought her along for the plane ride with the team.

“I want to be able to be there and take pictures with them afterward,” he said. “I love them to death and anybody who knows me or has read about me understands that is my life, and it’s definitely a neat thing to have them around.”

Even if it is a little hectic getting off planes.

D4 Thursday, January 6, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Hall Continued from D1 “What an amazing thing,� Alomar said on a conference call from Toronto. “I got to hit against him, saw him when I was young and now I’m getting the chance to go in the Hall of Fame with him.�

Barry Larkin was third in the voting, at 62.1 percent, followed by Jack Morris (53.5 percent), Lee Smith (45.3 percent) and Jeff Bagwell (41.7 percent). In his first election after admitting steroid use, the former slugger Mark McGwire dropped to 19.8 percent, his lowest share in five appearances on the ballot. Rafael Palmeiro, who hit 569 homers but failed a drug test in 2005, received only 11 percent.

Alomar and Blyleven narrowly missed induction last year, Alomar by eight votes and Blyleven by five. Most players who come that close are elected the next year, and Alomar, a 10-time Gold Glove second baseman, said he expected to make it. Blyleven, who played for the Minnesota Twins in half of his 22 seasons, took nothing for granted. “It’s been 14 years of praying and waiting,� he said on a conference call from Fort Myers, Fla. “I thank the baseball writers of America for, I’m going to say, finally getting it right.�

When he first appeared on the ballot in 1998, Blyleven collected only 17.5 percent of the vote.

The next year, that figure dropped to 14.1 percent; a candidate must have at least 5 percent to remain under consideration, with a maximum of 15 years on the ballot.

Blyleven did not receive even half the votes until 2006, his ninth year of eligibility. But many bloggers mounted a convincing campaign on his behalf, stressing Blyleven’s value beyond his mediocre .534 winning percentage. Blyleven cited Rich Lederer of BaseballAnalysts.com. “He’s one guy that’s really brought out so many different stats than just wins and losses,� said Blyleven, who was 287-250. “As a pitcher, sometimes you can’t control wins. You can’t control losses.

But what you can control is innings you pitch, if you keep your club in the game, all those things, and I think they’re brought out a lot more today than they were even 10 years ago.�

Blyleven ranks high in two categories that show a pitcher’s dominance: strikeouts (fifth, with 3,701) and shutouts (ninth, with 60). Every other pitcher in the top 20 in shutouts was in the Hall of Fame, as was every other eligible pitcher in the top 17 in strikeouts.

He also ranks highly in a much newer metric, Wins Above Replacement, which tries to show how many victories a player produces compared with a replacement who might be called up from the minors. According to Baseball-Reference.com, Blyleven ranks 13th among pitchers on that list, and was the only eligible pitcher in the top 27 who was not already in Cooperstown.

Blyleven, who said he consults Baseball-Reference.com as a broadcaster for the Twins, has long been fascinated by statistics. “I’m kind of a baseball geek as far as numbers,� he said. “I always looked at numbers, even as a young kid coming up. I admired Walter Johnson and Cy Young. How could one guy pitch over 7,000 innings, like Cy Young? I wanted to be like him.�

Alomar’s case was more obvious. He made 12 All-Star teams in a row, from 1990 through 2001.

He is the only Gold Glove winner in baseball history to finish his career with a .300 average and at least 2,700 hits, 200 home runs and 450 stolen bases. Like Blyleven, he played for two World Series winners and generally excelled in October.

Signed by the San Diego Padres out of Puerto Rico in 1985, Alomar spent his prime years with the Toronto Blue Jays, the Baltimore Orioles and the Cleveland Indians, reaching the playoffs with all of them. His productivity came to an abrupt halt with the Mets in 2002, and he retired in spring training 2005.

Some voters may have penalized Alomar last year for spitting in the face of the umpire John Hirschbeck during an argument in 1996. But Hirschbeck forgave Alomar years ago, and Alomar has donated money to fight the brain disease that has afflicted Hirschbeck’s children. “I feel good that I have a good relationship with John,� Alomar said. “He forgives me, his family forgives me, and we both move on.�

Alomar was born to a baseball family; his father’s career spanned 15 seasons, and his brother, Sandy Jr., was a six-time All-Star catcher. Blyleven is one of only nine major leaguers born in the Netherlands, and the only one to play more than four seasons.

His father moved the family to Canada before Blyleven was 2, and they moved again, to Southern California, when Blyleven was 5. He grew up listening to the Dodgers radio broadcasters, Vin Scully and Jerry Doggett, and their vivid descriptions of Sandy Koufax’s curveball. Blyleven would make it his signature pitch. “I threw it and threw it and threw it against a block wall until I could get it over for strikes,� Blyleven said. “My dad built me a mound in the backyard with a canvas backdrop over our horseshoe pits, and I would go back there and just throw and throw and throw until I developed it, and it became my curveball. And I could throw it over at any time, any count.�

Alas, he did not have many chances to throw it to Alomar. They met just once, in Blyleven’s final major league season, 1992. Alomar had a flyout, a triple and a walk, and Blyleven allowed six runs. “I’m glad I got the chance to face him when he wasn’t as good as before,� Alomar said, laughing. “But he was a tough, tough pitcher.�

Stranded — a solo elk hunt in the Eagle Caps

t his home in Enterprise in northeast Oregon, Barry Cox, of Del Sol Wilderness Adventures, looked at the storm gathered over the Eagle Caps. No stranger to bad weather, Cox told himself, “It looks like a real good day to be home.�

He thought of 31-year-old Jeremy Johnson, of La Pine, the archery hunter he had packed in to the wilderness two days before. He figured Jeremy would be alright. He had packed well despite the 10-day forecast of sunny weather.

But where the trail topped out above 8,000 feet, the snow blew sideways and the wind searched with cold fingers.

Jeremy Johnson, on a solo hunt in the Eagle Cap Wilderness, had left his gear under a tarp, and spike-camped in his bivy sack (sleeping bag cover) overlooking an alpine basin. Mindful of bears, he had cached his food in a tree a few hundred yards from the gear.

On opening day, he glassed two rams and a small herd of elk. That was when the weather turned. By midday, a freak late-summer storm held the mountains in an icy grip. “The high winds and sideways snow chilled my soaking-wet body to the bone. I arrived at my gear stash at 9 p.m. and was really looking forward to setting up that tent, building a fire and getting into some dry clothes.�

Something didn’t look right. “I flipped the tarp back to find nothing there but my bow target, and the Wilderness Athlete hat I wore in the day before.�

Some 10 miles from the nearest road, thieves had stolen his tent, stove, bedding, clothes and spare bow. With the light all but gone from the western sky, and snow that blew on 40 mph winds, he needed to make shelter fast.

From the top of the ridge, he found he had cell reception. He made a call to Barry and left the message that his camp had been stolen, but that he was going to stay and hunt. “I have learned to embrace adversity,� Jeremy said later. “After losing the family business to a fire, after another fire that destroyed my home, after a fight with cancer, I don’t want

On opening day of the 2010 archery elk season, Jeremy Johnson, of La Pine, returned to his camp site to find his gear stolen. With only the clothes on his back and a tarp for shelter, Johnson stayed a week in the high country to continue his solo hunt. to waste time whining, complaining about my situation, or giving up. Instead I want to milk every last lesson I can out of adversity and turn it into a growing experience.�

The guys that stole his camp had left him little more than a soaking-wet set of Sitka Gear camo clothes on his back, his Lathrop & Sons boots, and his hidden store of food. Jeremy didn’t waste his strength with anger.

All year he had saved for and planned this trip. All he could do now was hope to survive it. “I started hiking off the hill to find a place to set up the tarp.�

Down the slopes, near a lake, he saw two tents and walked in. The two hunters said they were headed out in the morning, but they suggested Jeremy stay overnight in one of their tents.

In the morning, Jeremy headed back into the wilds with his bow.

On the trail back up the mountain, Barry passed a dozen other hunters headed downhill to escape the weather. High on the ridge, where Barry had left Jeremy, he deposited a dome tent and a few supplies. “I was real impressed that Jeremy stuck it out,� Barry said. “The psychology of going solo for a week or more beats you down and you get physically exhausted and give up. He hung in there and I was real proud of him.�

The days that followed challenged Jeremy physically and mentally. Never in the same place more than twice, he slept in his thin bivy sack with only

trees for shelter. One night in a rainstorm he was unable to sleep and just waited for daylight. A swirling wind made the elk difficult to stalk. Every day had its failures and small successes. Only twice in seven days did he build a fire. On Wednesday, he returned to find the dome tent Barry had left on Sunday. The shelter gave him a chance to dry out.

Seven days after his gear was stolen, he peered over the edge of the rimrock to find four bulls 125 yards below him.

Twenty minutes later, he had circled close with cow calls to cover his stalk.

When the biggest bull, a five-by-six, stood up in his bed, Jeremy loosed his arrow.

Most hunters would have given up long before. Ten miles from the road, hundreds of miles from home and hearth, it takes uncommon toughness, skill, discipline and determination to bring home the meat.

This is the fourth year for our High Desert Backcountry Outdoorsman award. This year, the bronzed Danner trophy will be presented to a La Pine man to commemorate a solo wilderness hunt that defied wicked weather and wickeder men.

FISHING REPORT

Anglers report early success on Hood River Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in an around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

CENTRAL ZONE

Berry Nymph Gooseberry Olive, by Fly and Field Outfitters.

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

Back when I was learning to fly-fish on a creek near my parent’s home, someone gave me a patch of moose hair. With it, I tied a Mosquito Larva and it became one of my favorite patterns. Its weakness was the brittleness of the materials.

The Berry Nymph Gooseberry Olive makes me recall late evenings on the creek when the line tightened with the pull of a big trout.

Tied with materials that will stand up to fish after fish, this

new pattern could earn a place in your fly box. In still water, use a floating line and a long, fine leader. In spring creeks, use an indicator and tie two in tandem to search out trout prospecting for food on the bottom.

Tie this pattern on a No. 1416 scud hook. Slide a bead up against the eye of the hook. Tie the tail with grizzly hackle and small gold tinsel. For the body, use olive floss with a flo-green wire rib. For the wing, use grizzly hackle and gold tinsel. Finish with a dark green synthetic dubbing behind the bead.

Winter Continued from D1 “It’s a neat time to go out and just enjoy being out, but you don’t have to be out all day,â€? Gaviglio says. “Patience is important. The fish aren’t moving like they did. But you could still have a good day.â€? • Don’t expect the fish to chase anything.

Keep working areas, but also try fishing different types of water, Gaviglio suggests. And do not spend the whole day in one little slot. “You have to put it (the fly) close to their nose,� Gaviglio says, referring to the fish. “I think you can fish an area thoroughly and spend some time there, but then decide to move.

But half the fun of fishing in the winter is moving around — seeing stuff

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Rain and snow events have resulted in high flows recently; please exercise caution when wading.

Anglers are reminded that angling methods are restricted to artificial flies and lures from Oct. 31, 2010 to May 28, 2011. According to recent angler reports, the trout seem to be larger this year than in recent years.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation): Summer steelhead can still be found in good numbers from the Columbia upstream to the reservation boundary for the persistent angler.

Winter trout fishing can also be good in the Deschutes, though fish are generally less responsive in very cool temperatures. Whitefish, however, seem to be more responsive in cool water temperatures.

HOOD RIVER: Anglers are reporting decent early success on bright winter steelhead in the lower

and just being out.� • Nymphing is the best bet for fly anglers in the wintertime.

Bug hatches generally last only half an hour to an hour on cold days, Gaviglio observes, which does not leave much time for fishing. “It’s better to decide to nymph fish, and then change as you see things change,� Gaviglio says.

Saw bugs, scud patterns and egg patterns can all work well during the winter on Central Oregon streams.

When there is a hatch, blue wing olive and midges are the norm. • Do not let your fishing line ice up.

A product called Stanley’s Ice-Off Paste can be applied to the guides of a rod to prevent the line from freezing to the rod. “If your guides ice up, you could snap your rod, because your line

river. Steelhead anglers should expect fish numbers to increase throughout the month and February, with a peak in March and April.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Anglers are encouraged to note the special regulations for the Metolius Arm of Billy Chinook Reservoir; angling is closed in the Metolius arm from Oct. 31-Mar. 1.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good.

Insect hatches should offer opportunities for good dry fly fishing.

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Although there are no recent reports, anglers are reporting improved fishing over past years. Opportunities for 12 to 20-inch rainbow trout should improve with the warmer weather.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Anglers continue to report good fishing and have reported catching larger trout than in recent years. Anglers should consult the 2010 Sport Fishing Regulations (page 63) for maximum length requirements and bag limits for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.

PRINEVILLE YOUTH FISHING POND: Young anglers are catching rainbow trout and an occasional largemouth bass.

SHEVLIN YOUTH FISHING POND: The pond is open to children 17 years old and younger with a bag limit of two fish.

won’t go through so you’ll cast too hard,� Gaviglio explains. • Emerger action is important.

Gaviglio says that emerger patterns work well on the Fall River, and he notes that anglers can occasionally catch a trout on a streamer. “If you’re nymphing and nothing’s happening, do a slow rise on every drift (imitating an emerger),�

Gaviglio says. “A lot of people drift stuff on the bottom and can’t figure out why they (the fish) won’t take it. (Fish) do pay attention to things coming up.â€? • Stay drier on the Crooked River, less wind-battered on the Metolius River.

The Crooked and Metolius rivers offer good fishing year-round. Of the two, the Metolius is the most protected from the wind, according to Dave Merrick, of Fly & Field Outfit-

ters in Bend. But the Crooked River, he adds, typically gets less rain and snow. “But it’s a little more windy,â€? Merrick says of the Crooked River. “The canyon funnels the wind.â€? • Many fishing locations remain accessible during the winter in Central Oregon.

While fly anglers tend to focus on the Metolius, Fall, Crooked and Middle Deschutes rivers, bait anglers can find opportunities on Lake Billy Chinook, Haystack Reservoir, Prineville Reservoir and Ochoco Reservoir.

Whatever your type of fishing, stay warm and dry, and as always, be patient — especially in the depths of winter.

As snowpack settles, trails are ‘looking pretty decent’ But rain and higher temperatures are in the forecast, expert warns

By David Jasper The Bulletin

Compared with last week, when deep snow conditions and “light fluffy stuff” made getting around a challenge, the snowpack is settling nicely around Deschutes National Forest, trails specialist Chris Sabo reported Wednesday.

“Things are looking pretty decent right now,” says Sabo, adding that 90 percent of winter trails are in good condition. However, with rain and warming in the forecast, that could make things a little sloppy, he adds.

In other news, forest personnel are seeking information as to the possible culprit behind recent vandalism at Swampy Lakes Sno-park: mainly, graffiti in restrooms, shelters and on maps.

“We would like to make contact with this individual or individuals, and get it stopped. So we are asking for help from the public to assist in that,” he says.

Those with relevant information should call 541693-6911 to report it.

Sabo also brings up a different issue, one that often comes up this time of year: snowshoes and trail etiquette.

“If they’re new to snowshoeing and not familiar with trail etiquette, we do ask that snowshoers do not step on the ski tracks within a blue-diamond trail corridor, that they step and create a separate snowshoe track to the side. Either side would work; two feet out works real well,” he says.

When beginners or snowshoe renters walk through cross-country ski tracks, “it makes the enjoyment factor for skiers go down, and it becomes a safety issue, too, for skiers, when it’s tracked-out by snowshoers, because of the track being modified by snowshoers.”

Snowshoers also have the option of following snowshoe-specific trails at sno-parks such as Virginia Meissner and Swampy Lakes. The trails are designated with blue-diamond markers featuring a yellow snowshoe symbol on the inside of the diamond.

Solitude at the

sno-park

You can avoid the crowds if you’re willing to venture out to the Santiam Junction area

By Alandra Johnson The Bulletin

W

hen I think about places to cross-country ski or snowshoe, my mind naturally travels up the Cascade Lakes Highway. The sno-parks there offer great variety and beautiful scenery, plus they are located conveniently close to town. The problem is, these sno-parks can be wildly popular with other Central Oregonians.

On some bluebird Saturdays, it can feel as if the entire city of Bend has headed out to hit the local trails. Finding parking can be tricky or even impossible.

This made me wonder about other options for those craving snowy trails. Sure

there are other sno-parks in Central Oregon. There are options near Prineville and Paulina Lake as well as options by Tumalo Falls and Sisters. But I had a different idea in mind. Every trip I take to Portland or Eugene, I whiz by numerous sno-parks near Santiam Pass. They always intrigued me. But whenever it was time to head to a sno-park, those far-off options had faded from my mind.

Brad Peterson, wilderness trails and winter recreation manager for Detroit and Sweet Home ranger districts, offered his insights into three of the sno-parks west of Santiam Junction. Even on the busiest day, Peterson has never seen any of the parking lots for these parks full.

Taking illicit photos could land girl in legal hot water Back to the Jersey Shore SEASON 3 PREMIERE

Dear Abby: I would like to share some important information with “Don’t Want to Lose Him in the U.S.A.” (Nov. 10).

She’s the young lady who is being pressured by her boyfriend to take photos of her classmates in the girls’ locker room.

The students at the high school where I teach recently attended a program on Internet and online safety. One of the things that really surprised them was learning cell phone calls don’t just go from one phone to another. All text messages and calls are transmitted through cell phone towers, which route the calls or texts to the company’s server. All sent messages and photos are stored on the provider’s server.

This means pictures deleted from the phone are never really deleted — and text messages and photos never go away. They still exist in the virtual world.

Should those pictures become the center of a court case, the information is subject to “discovery.” With the right equipment, law enforcement can retrieve deleted photos from anyone’s cell phone.

“Don’t Want to Lose Him” needs to clearly understand she might be prosecuted for producing, distributing and possessing child pornography.

— A High School Teacher in Churchville, Va. Dear Teacher: Thank you for delivering a valuable message that may provide a wake-up call for all my readers. Read on: Dear Abby: Refusing to take the photos, but keeping it quiet, is not enough. I think “Don’t

DEAR ABBY What “Don’t Want to Lose Him” is being pressed to do is called “sexting,” and it is a criminal offense in almost every state in the U.S. Want to Lose Him” should make copies of your column and paste them on every locker to warn all the girls they are at risk — even when they think they have privacy. She should also tell the principal, who may be able to provide extra protection.

— Sheila in Gig Harbor, Wash.

Dear Abby: I think the issue of that young woman’s low self-esteem should be addressed. Her boyfriend is holding her hostage to his wishes and desires, and will probably always do so if she continues to stay with him.

It’s important that “Don’t Want to Lose Him” learns to love the principled, intelligent person she already is and continue to stand up for herself.

Eventually, someone will appreciate her good qualities and she won’t have to settle for less than she deserves.

— Been There in Arizona Dear Abby: “Don’t Want to Lose Him” should report this to a trusted adult or school counselor. At the very least, this girl needs to know she will be doing a great service if she lets the other girls know so they can be

on the lookout for someone sneaking a camera or cell phone into their locker room.

She could also use some support and affection that doesn’t come from a manipulative, self-serving “boyfriend.”

— Lisa in San Rafael, Calif.

Dear Abby: I am a mental health professional. What “Don’t Want to Lose Him” is being pressed to do is called “sexting,” and it is a criminal offense in almost every state in the U.S. The young lady and whomever receives and distributes those photos could be convicted of a felony, serve prison time and live the rest of their lives as registered sex offenders.

There have been cases of young people — victims of sexting — who have committed suicide over the humiliation of being exposed against their will. Once these photos go “viral,” they are on the Internet forever.

Parents, friends, teachers and schools need to make it a priority to talk to kids about the moral, legal and social ramifications of taking these kinds of photos of themselves and others.

— Jacqueline in Gibsonia, Pa. Dear Abby is written

Every Tuesday In AT HOME

Reason to watch: A new cast member with impulse-control issues, Snooki’s pal Deena Nicole Cortese, joins in the third-season premiere tonight. And let’s not forget Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Paul “DJ Pauly D” Delvecchio, Jenni “JWOWW” Farley, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie OrtizMagro and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola.

Catching up: Miami seems so yesterday. Wrapping in late October, the second season saw the gang’s alliances shift and fracture in Florida — largely over a “note” that detailed Ron’s infidelities and made girlfriend Sammi go nuts.

(They broke up, but they’re back together.) Also, Angelina Pivarnick got her walking papers.

What tonight’s about: Back in Seaside Heights and back in the house that made them famous, cast members straggle in; the first couple to arrive are Ron and Sammi. This is a crucial plot point because they pick the threebed upstairs room, which means someone else has to bunk with them. Who will that lucky sucker be? JWOWW arrives next, and greets Sammi with a grunt; yes, they’re still hating each other.

But Jenni instantly figures out the third-season dynamic: “They (Ron and Sammi) took the upstairs room which (messed) it up for everyone else in the house.”

Vinny and Paulie eventually wander in, pick their rooms, and the same with Snooki and newcomer Deena; Mike finally arrives and becomes the loser in this game of musical beds.

What it will be like rooming

with on-again, off-again snuggle bunnies Ron and Sammi — who appears to be this season’s Angelina? Torture? Massive buzz kill?

And what about that newcomer, Deena, whom MTV says is a longtime Snooki pal?

My say: Deena Nicole Cortese is a 23-year-old dental assistant from a small central Jersey town called New Egypt — and all semblance of middle-class normalcy apparently ends right there.

Deena arrives bombed; brawls with Ronnie; calls Sammi the B-

word about 38 times (my unofficial count); strips bare naked for Sitch; and initiates a full-fledged fist-on-face smackdown between two housemates. It’s almost like watching a full 13-episode season wrapped up in one 40-minute edition.

What’s going on here? Most likely a few things. By MTV’s pragmatic calculus, “Jersey Shore” probably has grown about as far as it’s going to, and with 6 million viewers for its secondseason finale, that’s more than adequate. But this also means the show must now play to the fan base. Simply put, keep fans happy, and you’ve got a franchise that can last a few years. Disappoint them, and the third season will be the last.

BRITAIN’S ROYAL WEDDING

Archbishop of Canterbury to lead nuptials New details revealed as plans move forward for April 29 event at Westminster Abbey

By Gregory Katz The Associated Press

LONDON — The bride will arrive by car and leave in a carriage, as befits a newly minted princess.

Those key details and others about the upcoming nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton emerged Wednesday in advance of their April 29 wedding at Westminster Abbey.

Prince Charles’ representative broke weeks of silence with a statement that Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will marry the couple in an 11 a.m. ceremony that will include several other prominent clergy.

The wedding of William — a young Navy helicopter rescue pilot who is second in line for the throne — and Middleton, his girlfriend and confidante for nearly eight years, is expected to draw a gigantic global audience via television and the Internet.

Plans in place The palace also lifted the secrecy surrounding the processional route the newlyweds will take from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace — information deemed vital to those hoping to get out early and catch a glimpse of the couple as they glide by in a horse-drawn carriage.

The parade route, likely to be thronged by well-wishers regardless of the weather, will take William and Middleton through the storied heart of ceremonial London, where so many joyous and solemn occasions have been marked.

Palace officials said Queen Elizabeth II, William’s grandmother, would host a reception at Buckingham Palace after the wedding ceremony, with guests drawn from the wedding congregation.

The night of the wedding, Prince Charles is to host a dinner and dance at Buckingham Palace

“Folks are really starting to crank on the slope there. Parents, watch your kids closely. If the hill speeds are picking up, just allow them to go halfway up or something, where they’re not going to gain so much speed that they end up in the parking lot,” Sabo says.

That’s happened in the past.

“Kids are just screaming with joy, but we don’t want them going in the parking lot.”

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will conduct the service when Prince William and Kate Middleton wed on April 29, palace officials announced Wednesday. for family members and close friends of the newlyweds.

Breaking it down Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, told The Associated Press that he was surprised that Middleton has chosen to arrive at Westminster Abbey by car rather than in a carriage.

“It’s not unprecedented, but we automatically assumed Kate would be in the glass coach, as was the case with Diana and with Sarah Ferguson,” he said. “But obviously that was decided against.

We don’t know why; it might have been seen as ostentatious.”

Other traditions have changed with the times, he said. “In the old days there would have been a wedding breakfast for the immediate family, but this will be a much bigger reception, with many more people attending, a more inclusive affair,” he said.

In addition, he said, the queen is not hosting a ball a few nights before the wedding, as she would have done in the past, and instead Charles is hosting a gala event the night of the wedding. “It’s slightly different,” he said. “Change is not necessarily a bad thing.”

sue, and therefore are prohibited at the hill.

“I had a young man have a sitdown strike when I was trying to cut one down,” Sabo reports.

“They like to catch their air, but that’s where, probably, the majority of injuries occur.

“It’s not in the air itself, so much as the landing. Landings can be hard,” he says. “Keep the speeds down, and keep the sleds on the ground. No ramps, no air.

It gets hazardous. We don’t have anybody up there with a pilot’s license, likely.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Jan. 6, 2011: This year, you put 100 percent into your work. You might not achieve at the level you want and expect.

You have to put in many extra hours in order to reach your goals.

Financially, you won’t back away, as you need the funds, and you will receive them. If you are single, you might have difficulty meeting the right person. Part of the issue is how you project yourself. Take a hard look in the mirror. If you are attached, remember that there is more to life than work. Make special time for you and your sweetie.

Ultimately, your relationship takes a higher priority. AQUARIUS views money in an interesting manner.

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 Others believe you understand a lot more than you do. Sometimes allowing this type of misrepresentation might be smart, as more will be revealed.

A partner or loved one might be very discouraging. Is this person having a bad-hair day? Tonight: Wherever you can relax.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Assume responsibility and worry less about the end results. At a certain point, you won’t care in the least. Open up to new ideas. Your sense of humor helps loosen tension and, in some fashion, revitalize your energy. Tonight: A must appearance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Reach out for someone

at a distance. How you feel could change radically as you deal with others. Brainstorming won’t help move someone off his or her position. Keep getting more information, and the story will come out. Tonight: Listen to news.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Open up to new beginnings.

Listen to a family member or roommate. He or she might be negative. One-on-one relating enhances a bond. Be more nurturing and understanding with others.

Tonight: Have a long-overdue talk.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your creativity surges. You are more serious than need be. An even pace might be boring. Listen to your instincts. If you have several options, take the most upbeat.

Avoid a dour neighbor or relative.

Schedule meetings for late in the day. Tonight: Where the action is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Understand what is happening. Listen to news with an open mind. If you need to, talk to a creative person you trust. Honor what might be occurring. Refuse to be challenged. Others might have too many suggestions. Go with the flow. Tonight: Go for the action.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH A conversation could perk up your mood and help you smile from ear to ear. What is quite clear is that you don’t have the whole story. Are you ready to change gears? Take a walk or plan on a fun lunch to lighten up your mood.

Tonight: Let the fun continue.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Take a personal day, please.

Your spirit will lighten up the moment and allow for greater feedback. You might be slightly more negative than you realize, especially with a domestic matter. Open up to new ideas. Tonight: Happy at home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You can ask until you are blue in the face and still not get the answer. Your sixth sense is generally correct, but not when you are getting negativity from others. Be careful about snap judgments. Tonight: Consider hanging with more upbeat friends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might be more in tune with a money matter than you have been of late. You could see a situation far differently from in the past. A boss could be pushing you beyond your limits. This person rethinks his or her approach.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH A friend demonstrates his or her loyalty. Good news surrounds a particular effort. Right now, certain planets pave the way to success and happiness should you be open and creative. Understanding will evolve if you detach. Tonight: Start your weekend early.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Know when to pull back and perhaps proceed in a different direction. You know what is happening behind the scenes.

Relate on an individual level.

Feedback from a close partner or associate could be negative.

Tonight: Vanish while you can. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Dale Blackburn, of Corvallis, snowshoes with his dogs at Maxwell Butte Sno-park this week.

Outing

are some limited views, but “nothing spectacular.”

Continued from E1 Unlike some local sno-parks, these do not offer separate trails for skiers and snowshoers. Peterson recommends that people grab a map before hitting the parks. They are available online (go to www.fs.usda.gov/willamette and search for the name of the sno-park) or at a local ranger station.

He also suggests people check with the Oregon Department of Transportation to make sure there is access to the parking lot of a particular sno-park. Because the entrances are located along highways, sometimes after heavy snowfall the parking lots can get blocked by snow plowing.

Big Springs Sno-Park

Lava Lake Sno-Park This sno-park is one of the least used in the area, according to Peterson. It is located about four miles west of Santiam Junction on U.S. Highway 20.

Lava Lakes is relatively small and offers three loop routes. The trails are for cross-country skiers and snowshoers, although there is some shared use with snowmobilers on some of the trails.

A majority of the trails travel through a unit of replanted trees and also offer a more open, clear setting.

The loops are mostly easy, but Peterson says people can run into challenging spots. One loop option takes skiers down to Lava Lake, which is a wide-open expanse. Peterson says this is a good option for beginners. There

This sno-park is located three miles west of Santiam Junction on state Highway 22.

The trails of this park travel through large old growth trees in a closed-canopy setting. The giant trees mean visitors may encounter some tree wells and stump holes early in the season, but those are not much of a problem once the heavy snow fills them in, according to Peterson.

Big Springs offers some beginning and intermediate routes as well as one more difficult option.

One of the routes does include some shared use with snowmobilers for about a mile. Peterson likes this park because you can “ski almost the whole sno-park in a day, covering a lot of ground.”

This sno-park also offers access to Lava Lake, although it’s a fairly long trip.

While this park doesn’t offer much in the way of views, its appeal comes from the chance to travel amid some really big old growth timber.

Maxwell Butte Sno-Park This is the busiest of the three parks and is located 3.5 miles west of Santiam Junction on state Highway 22. It offers ample parking.

Peterson says this is also the most substantial of all of the snoparks, offering about 25 miles or more of trails. The options are varied and diverse. There are

easy trails that travel along road beds as well as advanced routes that travel along summer trails.

About one third of the routes travel through old growth forest and the remainder are more out in the open and cut through some replanted areas. Peterson also praises this sno-park for the views it offers, including vistas of Maxwell Butte, Three Finger Jack and Duffy Butte.

These spots are especially visible from Mountain View Shelter, a large structure that can be accessed from several trails. On a clear day, visitors can see Mount Washington and the North Sister as well as Three Finger Jack, which is just five or six miles away.

Visitors can get to the shelter by traveling up a 1.5-mile direct route, which includes some intermediate trails. There is another, significantly longer option that sticks to easy trails. The shelter is a hot spot because people are allowed to stay overnight in it.

Peterson says it sleeps about 15 people, some on cots, some on the ground. Large parties need to call ahead, but otherwise the sleeping options are available on a firstcome, first-served basis.

Factory efficiency in health care

St. Charles adopts lean practices in effort to streamline operations and improve care

By Betsy Q. Cliff • The Bulletin Until last summer, a room in the central processing department at St. Charles Redmond looked like a “cluttered garage,” said operating room manager Julie Nave.

Nurses enter the room often to pick up surgical supplies and other necessities, which had been moved in when the hospital’s new tower opened in 2006. No one had organized it since.

MO There was equipment that was no longer used, things belonging to doctors who had long since left, and piles and piles of stuff that needed cataloging.

Nurses had to move carts out of the way to get what they needed.

It cost the nurses valuable time and it cost the hospital money. Since the inventory was not well controlled, supplies often expired and had to be donated or thrown away.

MONEY Vital stats Prices at Oregon hospitals are on the rise, Page F5

NUTRITION Vitamins Peanut butter contains some copper, but why is the mineral important? Page F6

Then, trained staff from St. Charles Health System spent a week cleaning and organizing it. A system was put in place to notify the materials N E Y management department when a supply ran out.

Excess equipment was taken out of the room. The carts were removed. Things were labeled.

It cut down on the time staff needed to spend in that room, said Nave, leaving them more time to spend with patients. In addition, they also brought more supplies directly into the operating room, eliminating the need for nurses to leave in the middle of an operation.

Group acupuncture casting a wider net Patients feel relaxed, calm when not alone for pinpoint treatment

By John-John Williams IV The Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE — Constant headaches and migraines had Diana Schulin considering acupuncture, but she found herself tensing at the thought of sitting alone in a room while being poked by a dozen needles.

She finally took the plunge, and she’s glad she did. The needles remain. But at least now she has company.

The health care information worker is among a small but growing number of people experiencing the ancient Asian treatment in a group. Some come for the lower cost, while some, like Schulin, are drawn by

the camaraderie.

“Because the other people are there, you feel relaxed,” said Schulin, a Baltimore resident. “It makes you feel more comfortable.

“Traditional acupuncture clinics are a little more tense. You are there by yourself. When you are in the room with other people, there is a sense of calm.”

Acupuncture — the practice of inserting needles in specific spots of the human body — is nothing new. But the concept of community acupuncture is relatively rare in this country.

There are about 200 community acupuncture clinics in the U.S.; a majority is found along the coasts and in larger cities, according to Fred Wolfson, who opened Acupuncture for All in Baltimore’s Mount Washington neighborhood nine weeks ago after working at a similar practice in Frederick, Md. Wolfson said the concept is modeled after group clinics in Asia, which have historically been low-cost.

“(It) is not easy. You are asking people to change the way they behave. You’re asking them to change the way they work.”

STABILITY AND STRENGTH

IN MOTION

Take a load off on your hike with trekking poles

Elderly women can find many benefits in strength training A once-weekly strength-training program for elderly women can help reduce health care costs and improve cognitive functioning, according to a study published last month in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The study followed seniors who had completed a 12-month tailored exercise program and tracked them for another year. Even though the exercise program had ended, many of the test subjects continued strength training on their own. The study found that the women who underwent the weekly strength-training program were more active after the study had ended than they had been before the study. They scored better on tests of cognitive functioning and had lower health care costs. They also experienced fewer falls than members of the control group, which had conducted balance and toning exercises. The once-weekly group also showed more gains over the long term than those who did strength training twice a week.

Hiking is great exercise, but all that climbing up and down can result in some sore muscles.

Add some trekking poles, however, and that soreness could be lessened, a study found.

Researchers from the United Kingdom took 26 men and 11 women who were physically active to the highest peak in England and Wales for a day hike.

About half the study participants used trekking poles on the ascents and descents, while the rest used no poles and acted as a control group. Otherwise, the groups were similar — they hiked together, so times were comparable. Everyone also carried a day pack and ate the same food.

Average heart rates for the two groups on the ascents and descents were about equal. But differences showed up for rates of perceived exertion, a measure of how hard people think they’re working, based on monitoring functions such as heart rate, perspiration and breathing. Those with the trekking poles had significantly lower RPE than the control group on parts of the ascents, while there were no differences in RPE on the descents.

Those with poles had less muscle soreness than those in the control group. The pole group also showed a reduced loss of strength and a speedier recovery right after hiking, as well as one and two days afterward, compared with the control group.

In the study the authors specu-

Trekking poles, a study found, can limit the rate of exertion and muscle soreness. lated that the lower RPE scores in the trekking pole group may be chalked up to the fact that the poles provided more stability and less load on the lower limbs during the ascents. Less muscle sore-

ness might be attributed to the poles redistributing the load on the lower limbs to the upper body.

The study appears in the January issue of the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.

How to exercise your body — and your brain

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Physical exercise isn’t just good for your heart and muscles. “Any kind of exercise will keep blood flowing to your brain, and there is evidence it may help new brain cells grow,” said Gino Colombara, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Association Southeastern Virginia Chapter. Here are some workouts that may be particularly helpful to brain health: Take a dance class. You’ll be increasing your heart rate and also challenging your brain as you learn various steps. Tai chi, karate or step aerobics — or any class that’s new to you — will have the same benefits.

Do some circuit training. The quick alternation between resistance and cardio will force you to work on both memory and coordination.

Go to a group class. Keep-

ing up social connections also boosts brain health, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. So after a workout, invite a fellow exerciser out for some coffee.

Sign up for yoga. The deep breathing will deliver a good dose of oxygen to your brain, and the learning curve for new moves is a mental challenge.

Lift weights. Strength training requires concentration and focus. It also builds muscle, which improves the heart’s abil-

ity to pump oxygen-filled blood all over the body including the brain.

Take a walk … Walking will increase blood circulation and send more oxygen and glucose to feed your brain cells (especially since your leg muscles won’t take up too much of either substance during a less strenuous workout). … or a run. Studies in mice have indicated regular running can boost brain cell survival rates.

Use your less dominant hand.

Say you’re right-handed: try playing tennis or catching a ball with your left hand for a while. See if your brain can adjust.

LOS ANGELES — Strength training mostly consists of concentric exercises (when the muscles shorten to lift something, as in lifting a weight to do a bicep curl) and eccentric exercises (when the muscles lengthen to lower something). But could one action provide more benefits than the other? A study found that half an hour of eccentric exercise a week boosted muscle strength and lowered insulin resistance more than concentric exercise.

Twenty women were randomly assigned to an exercise group that did either concentric or eccentric movements once a week for eight weeks.

Exercises for both groups consisted of leg extensions, which target the quadriceps muscles in the front of the thigh.

Researchers discovered that after the short weekly bouts of movement, the eccentric exercise group substantially increased muscle strength and performance, decreased insulin resistance and improved blood lipid profiles more than concentric exercise. After two months, resting energy expenditure (the number of calories burned while at rest) increased 5 percent, similar to what people experience after endurance training or more traditional strength training that includes concentric and eccentric exercise.

In the study, which appears in the January issue of the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the authors concluded that eccentric exercise may provide some practical advantages. They wrote, “People who wish to participate in activities containing eccentric actions may perform exercises with strong eccentric component, such as bench stepping, downhill walking, or placing emphasis on the negative phase of conventional resistance exercises.”

M Study shows vitamin D link to newborns catching colds

The Acupuncture for All clinic in Baltimore treats several patients at a time in a peaceful, communal room, which keeps the costs down for patients.

Acupuncture Continued from F1 Community acupuncture patients say they are drawn to the clinics because of the combination of low cost, accessibility, and the community concept. Patients at clinics such as Wolfson’s pay between $20 to $40 a treatment.

(Traditional practices charge up to $90 per visit.) Wolfson goes an extra step and offers a sliding scale. He never challenges the amount of money he receives.

Payments are deposited in a drop box in the clinic.

“Patients pay what they can afford,” he said. “Everyone’s financial situation is different.

There are people who ask if they can pay below that $20 fee because of their financial situation. That is fine. I don’t turn anyone away.”

Low cost is the biggest draw of community acupuncture businesses, according to Karen Jackson-Williams, a licensed acupuncturist who works at Honey-Bee Free Acupuncture in Greenbelt, Md., and Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, Md. Jackson-Williams, who has been following the community acupuncture model for the past two years, said lower cost helps expose more people to the treatment.

“If anything, it would be a benefit to a traditional practitioner,” she said. “People get to have a good first experience at a reduced price. Then they have the opportunity to later use a private practitioner if they want.”

The lower price also allows patients to receive frequent treatments, which maximizes the benefits of acupuncture, Wolfson said.

“Because of the low cost, patients are able to do the follow-up treatment,” Wolfson said. “That is an important piece of community acupuncture. It is not about just getting enough money for an acupuncture treatment. This model allows people to go through a whole course of treatment. They are able to see if acupuncture is a modality for them.”

And community acupunc-

At most community clinics, each visit typically lasts about an hour. An intake questionnaire is completed so that the acupuncturist can individualize the proper plan for each patient.

After customers roll up their sleeves and remove their shoes, they are ready for the treatment.

“The needles stay in on average 45 minutes,” Wolfson said.

“The nice thing about the clinic is that people who want to stay longer can stay. But most people feel done after 45 minutes.”

Despite Acupuncture for All’s high-volume mission, the clinic is surprisingly quiet.

The gurgle from a water fountain meshes with relaxing music playing overhead. Seven reclining seats are arranged in a circular fashion. The walls are painted with a cobalt blue and adorned with framed pictures of exotic locations. A large oriental rug in the center of the room pays homage to the technique’s origins. The dimmed lights give the room a relaxed feel.

“It’s like being in your living room,” Schulin said.

Wolfson encourages a tranquil environment.

“A majority of people fall asleep,” Wolfson said. “We may whisper a little bit as I am putting in the needles. But generally the treatment room is very quiet.”

One night, there was a constant flow of patients, including Lynn Hunobice, an activity director for a local retirement community, who visits the clinic at least once a week.

Hunobice sought out acupuncture because she needed a source of relief from arthritis and the daily stress involved in her job.

“I needed to bring a balance to life,” she said. “I have a very intense job. I can get overwhelmed with it.”

Wolfson stresses that community acupuncture and acupuncture in general is not for everyone.

“Acupuncture is not going to be the treatment that helps everyone,” he said. “If they can’t do a consistent course of treatment and the treatments become sporadic, then they can’t decide if this is the treatment for them or not.”

LOS ANGELES — Even as a high-profile panel of experts recently disputed the conventional wisdom that Americans don’t get enough vitamin D — and that vitamin D deficiencies create greater risk of disease — new research shows that newborns with low levels of vitamin D have higher rates of respiratory infection and wheezing than infants born with more vitamin D in their systems.

There was no correlation, however, between low vitamin D levels and asthma.

The study, published recently in the journal Pediatrics, expanded on earlier work by Dr. Carlos Camargo of the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston that had shown that babies born to mothers who took vitamin D supplements were less likely to develop wheezing during childhood.

This time around, instead of focusing on supplement intake, Camargo and his team looked at the levels of vitamin D in newborn cord blood samples collected from a group of 922 children in New Zealand who had participated in a study on asthma and allergies between 1997 and 2001.

In addition to allowing researchers to collect cord blood, the babies’ mothers had filled out periodic questionnaires about their children’s health up until the children turned 5. The researchers mined the data to determine rates of wheezing, infections and asthma in the group and correlate them with vitamin D levels in the cord blood.

They found that the lower the amount of vitamin D, the higher the risk of wheezing.

Newborns with particularly low levels of the vitamin — about one in five — were twice as likely to develop respiratory infections such as colds, coughs and ear infections during the first three months of life, the team reported.

But even though asthma doesn’t appear to result directly from low vitamin D levels, treating asthmatic kids with vitamin D could still be effective because it might reduce respiratory infections that can exacerbate the condition, the researchers wrote.

F A C T VS. FICTION T H E C L A IM :

Going out in the cold makes you more susceptible to the flu.

THE REALITY: That idea is false, said Dr. Richard Fawcett, an infectious disease specialist and health officer at the Deschutes County Health Department.

“There’s no data to suggest that flu will take hold when a person has had exposure to the elements.”

Fawcett said the notion that going out in the cold causes illness likely took hold because the flu virus typically circulates during the colder months of the year. The flu virus survives better in low humidity, Oregon State University researchers

reported last year. January and February are typically the least humid months of the year.

In reality, Fawcett said, it’s more likely that being inside during the cold months is the culprit. When people spend lots of time indoors in close proximity to one another, they may be more likely to spread germs, causing flu to spread faster during that time of year.

THERMOGRAPHY

Beware the hype on new breast test

By Nara Schoenberg Chicago Tribune

If the Internet buzz about a pain-free, radiation-free alternative to mammography sounds too good to be true, there’s a reason for that.

Breast thermography — recently touted as the “best breast test” by Oprah favorite Dr. Christiane Northrup, writing in the Huffington Post — has never been proven effective for routine breast cancer screening in a large-scale, randomized study, experts say. The FDA has never approved it for that purpose.

Last year Oregon’s attorney general shut down a troubled health clinic, accusing it, in part, of misrepresenting thermography as superior to mammography for breast cancer screening.

“The bottom line is that the proven technology for screening for breast cancer is X-ray or digital mammography. And that is the only proven technology,” says Robert Smith, director of cancer screening for the American Cancer Society.

Northrup responded to a request for comment with an email saying, in part, “Thermography has been shown to pick up abnormalities in the heat in the breast many years before a lesion would likely show up

in a mammogram. The ideal is to use both technologies when appropriate.”

Breast thermography uses infrared cameras to detect subtle heat elevation associated with tumors, which tend to have more blood flow and higher metabolic rates than normal tissue.

Thermography was considered a promising screening technology in the 1960s, but it fell out of favor with doctors in the 1970s when a large study found that it detected only 39 percent of breast cancers, while mammography picked up 78 percent.

Thermography advocates argue that the technology has improved vastly since then, and they may have a point.

A small study of thermography as a supplement to mammography, published in the American Journal of Surgery in 2008, found that thermography has an impressive 97 percent sensitivity rate, meaning that it correctly identified 97 percent of the women who had cancer. Unfortunately, its specificity rate, the proportion of women correctly identified by the test as not having cancer, was a disappointing 44 percent.

(Modern mammography has a sensitivity rate ranging from 77 percent to 95 percent and a specificity rate from 94 percent to 97 percent.)

Lean Continued from F1 Procedures are much more efficient, said Nave, and in some cases that has shortened the time patients spend under the knife. “That’s a huge benefit.”

The organization of the central processing room at St. Charles Redmond is part of a larger effort by the entire St. Charles Health System, which also operates hospitals in Bend and Prineville.

Taking methods developed by companies in other industries, most notably Toyota Motor Corp., the hospital system is striving to create efficiency in the way it does business.

It’s looking for ways to reduce waste, improve quality, ease staff frustrations and, ultimately, make things better for patients.

The methods, known as lean practices, have long been used in other industries, but hospitals have only recently caught on.

“In terms of reliability, the health care industry is so much behind others,” said Joan Wellman, a Seattlebased consultant who helps health care entities incorporate lean practices. Some companies in other industries, she said, “have so few process and quality problems that they measure (errors) in parts per million. In health care we measure in parts per hundred. Quality problems are much more frequent.”

As a way to address quality problems, many health care organizations are now looking at lean practices. In a recent survey, Wellman said, about half of the country’s hospitals had at least some type of lean effort.

The draw is the opportunity to improve quality while simultaneously reducing cost.

Lean aims to get rid of things that make a job more complex, such as extra steps in a process or excess paperwork.

Cutting waste both drives down expenses and often results in better outcomes for patients.

Lean practices are established by examining specific areas or functions of the organization. For instance, the hospital examined how to reduce the time it takes to get lab results back or cut wait times in emergency rooms. By tackling these areas, the organization can run more smoothly and serve patients better.

“In a lean system,” said Wellman, “you are constantly focused on the patient, making value for the patient.”

Employees are experts A primary tenet of lean practices, and a key aim of St. Charles, is to empower employees to change things for the better. The idea is that the people actually doing the work — not managers or executives — are in the best position to improve how it’s done.

One of the first lean projects at St. Charles Bend involved

“You are asking people to change the way they behave. You’re asking them to change the way they work.”

Many organizations have trouble convincing people that the lean initiative is a worthwhile effort, said Graben. One challenge, he said is “convincing people that they need to change, that they need to improve.”

Graben said that once employees see good results, that their work is made easier or that they have more time to spend with patients, they often come around.

In that way, he said, using techniques from corporate America can, paradoxically, make the hospital a more caring place to be. By helping fix the problems that vex those who tend to patients, he said, “it can be more of a caring environment. ... (Lean) can equip them to do a better job with the clinical aspects of care.”

Pam Johnson, a sterile processing technologist at St. Charles Redmond, gathers supplies in the central processing room at the hospital. St. Charles Health System plans to make the entire organization more efficient using techniques borrowed from manufacturing and other industries. Cleaning up this room was one of the first projects. the emergency department.

The doors leading from the ER to the main hospital at St. Charles Bend had to be opened manually, which made it difficult for nurses to wheel patients through them. Often, said Vikki Hickmann, a registered nurse in the ER, she would be holding the doors with her hip, while awkwardly grabbing the bottom of the gurney to get a patient through them.

Seeing the opportunity to improve the situation, Hickmann and others spearheaded the installation of a button to open the doors automatically. Now, they can stay near the patient’s head, talking to them or monitoring vital signs.

“The ones at the bedside really know what they need to take care of patients well,” said Hickmann.

Another project, in the intensive care unit at St. Charles Bend, involved cleaning out a room that could have been used for patients but was instead being used for storage.

The very day they finished cleaning it out, the unit was full. Had the new room not been available, that patient would likely have been transferred to Portland or elsewhere in the Willamette Valley, said JoAnn Miller-Watts, who focuses on implementing lean practices throughout the health system.

This kind of project is exactly the kind of win-win that lean practices aim for. Patients clearly benefit by staying close to home, and the hospital benefits by keeping the revenue.

In addition, it reduces the cost of that patient’s care overall — by avoiding the transfer to another institution — and could improve the patient’s medical outcome by delivering treatment faster than if they had to go to another hospital.

Changes are typically “little but big,” said Katie Williams, who also specializes in implementing lean practices at St. Charles. She said projects she implements are often the lowhanging fruit of inefficiency, but that no one has had a chance to tackle them.

“Anyone can do a lean project, but whether you can transform your organization using these principles is the question.”

— Joan Wellman, Seattle-based consultant on lean practices

Staff are often so busy caring for patients, they don’t have the time to step back, ask how things are working and potentially change them. “You only have windows of 15 to 20 minutes,” said Hickmann. “You can’t be taking care of patients while you’re trying to improve a process. It’s too disjointed.”

Resistance Not everyone at St. Charles is enamoured of the new approach.

A group of employees at St. Charles Bend filed a petition in November seeking to join a chapter of a union that represents health care workers. (A vote on the union took place Wednesday, but results were not in by presstime.)

Among the grievances listed by those pushing for the union: corporate efficiency.

“I have worked at St. Charles for 25 years and have seen it change from a warm, friendly place that felt like a family to a place that feels less like a hospital and more like a corporation,” wrote Kathy Korne, a phlebotomist, on a website explaining the effort, www.wearestcharles.org, Ken Daniels, an employee who works in central processing spoke of his dislike for recent changes during union negotiations. “The last three to five years have been a huge change,” he said. “It’s gone corporate.”

To be sure, these employees were not speaking specifically of the lean approach. But the lean initiative has been one of the central pillars of the health system’s efforts to incorporate business principles into the management of its hospitals.

St. Charles has also begun using other management techniques borrowed from corporate America and has employed costcutting measures more familiar at large companies than nonprofit hospitals, including laying off staff to outsource certain functions and cutting pay for employees.

Buy-in is a challenge among some employees, acknowledge St. Charles staff who work on lean practices.

“Lean is not easy,” said Cory Hammond, who specializes in lean practices at St. Charles.

Will it last?

Whether or not St. Charles can convince those on the front lines of patient care that the lean approach is worthwhile will almost surely determine whether the effort succeeds.

With just 13 projects under their belt, “we’re infantile in this process,” said Miller-Watts.

Being able to keep focused on the approach and maintain the improvements will be a challenge, she acknowledged.

“Sustainability is the hardest piece.”

Both Miller-Watts and Hammond left their posts at the hospital to concentrate full time on facilitating lean projects. Others work part time on the projects.

The organization is currently in the process of recruiting more employees to become lean facilitators and run more projects.

Even with the best case scenario, it will take years for the health system to change behavior enough that lean principles dominate the way the hospital runs.

“Anyone can do a lean project,” said Wellman, “but whether you can transform your organization using these principles is the question.”

Wellman said it often takes at least a decade for an organization to really transform itself.

“Those that have been at it for 10 years are really good, 20 years are incredible. And Toyota is like watching a ballet.”

N VITAMINS TAKE YOUR VITAMINS: A regular look at the sources and benefits of vitamins and minerals.

Feeding young vegetarians doesn’t have to be tricky for concerned parents

Copper Copper is a required nutrient found naturally in such foods as seafood, liver, green vegetables, whole grains, lentils and nuts. Copper helps to regulate blood pressure and is needed to absorb iron. Some laboratory studies have suggested that copper may have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties, but high levels of copper have also been linked to a higher risk of certain cancers. Some people wear copper bracelets to help with arthritis, but there is no scientific evidence supporting the practice.

Most people get enough copper from eating a balanced diet, although copper is generally added to multivitamins as well. Copper pipes and cookware also leach minute particles of copper into water or food.

Copper toxicity is rare, but adults are advised not to take more than 10 milligrams per day, due to an increased risk of liver damage. People with Wilson’s disease, a genetic disorder that allows copper to build up in the body, should not take copper supplements. Diabetics should also avoid supplements containing copper, as the mineral can affect blood sugar levels.

People with a copper deficiency can also have low iron levels, to the point of anemia, and may develop osteoporosis. Zinc supplements and large doses of vitamin C can block copper absorption.

ANSWERS: 1: b; 2: a Source: www.fitsugar.com

By Carolyn Butler Special to The Washington Post

Both of my sons have been voracious carnivores from the get-go, devouring baby beef and chicken purees with gusto before graduating to gnawing spare ribs clean, inhaling full pots of meatballs and downing two to three hot dogs in a sitting. Over the past several months, however, my 4-yearold has started to reject nearly all forms of animal protein, one by one: First, steak was declared “too tough,” then chicken “yucky,” and on and on, with pork, sausage, ground beef, fish of any sort and even, last week, his once beloved franks.

Hence, the macaroni-andcheese marathon at our dinner table of late.

While Eli’s distaste for meat may just be a brief spurt of picky eating, a small but growing number of children and adolescents are consciously opting for a vegetarian diet. Earlier this year, a nationwide survey of 1,258 8- to 18-year-olds found that 3 percent never eat meat, poultry or seafood, up from 1.4 percent in 1995. That’s an estimated 1.4 million young vegetarians today, says Reed Mangels, nutrition advisor for the Vegetarian Resource Group. (That Baltimore-based organization commissioned the online survey, whose findings cannot be considered as reliable as polls using more traditional methodology.)

Mangels points out that twothirds of these meatless kids are vegan, meaning that they also forgo animal products such as dairy and eggs. Vegetarianism “is definitely a more mainstream choice than ever before,” says Mangels, whose family, including two teenage girls, is vegan.

Research on adult vegetarians suggests that a plant-based diet provides many ongoing health benefits, including a lower incidence of obesity, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes and possibly certain types of cancer. (One of the latest studies on the topic, a small sampling published this summer in the peer-reviewed Nu-

4 Thinkstock photos, illustration by Althea Borck / The Bulletin

trition Journal, suggests that vegetarians may be less depressed and have better mood profiles than meat-eaters.) Lalita Kaul, a nutrition professor at Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, D.C., and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, says eating a wellplanned, well-balanced vegetarian diet “can be healthful and appropriate at any age.”

But avoiding meat and other animal products doesn’t automatically ensure good nutrition. “‘Vegetarian’ is not synonymous with ‘healthy’; you have to be making good, healthy food choices and avoiding junk food,” says Hemant Sharma, a pediatrician at Washington’s Children’s National Medical Center. In fact, he points out, parents of a young vegetarian often need to be extra-vigilant in monitoring their offspring’s diet: “It’s important to pay special attention and to plan different factors of a plant-based diet out carefully, to ensure that growing children get all of the nutrients they need.”

Sharma notes that typically, the more strict the kid is about being vegetarian (i.e., the more foods avoided), the more oversight is needed. “Flexitarians,” who occasionally eat meat, and “pesca-

tarians,” who consume fish, are on the less worrisome end of the spectrum, and true vegans, who don’t touch milk, eggs or even honey, are at the opposite end.

Experts agree that getting enough food overall is key. “In plant-based diets, which tend to be very high in fiber, children often get a sense of fullness before they really ingest enough calories as they need, or eat enough food to provide adequate energy,” says Sharma, who recommends three meals and three snacks a day for his vegetarian patients, all filled with such energy-dense options as nuts, seeds and avocado, as well as such high-protein foods as tofu and other soy products, beans and, for those who aren’t vegan, low-fat dairy and eggs.

The main sources of concern about vitamins and minerals that meat-eaters get but that vegetarians might not are iron (particularly for teenage girls) and, for vegans, vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and calcium, says registered dietitian Mangels. Still, she emphasizes that it is entirely possible to get the proper levels of all nutrients with some planning and a multivitamin if necessary.

My own finicky foodie aside, many kids choose to eat less meat or to become all-out vegetarians

for perfectly valid, even admirable, reasons, from taste and moral objections to family preferences. But Sharma counsels that parents of older children who opt for a plantbased diet try to suss out whether their motives are entirely pure.

“It’s important to look for clues and assess whether this choice to be a vegetarian might reflect an underlying eating disorder … which can sometimes present with just a restriction in what an adolescent will be willing to eat,” he says.

Happily, cooking for a lone vegetarian or two doesn’t have to be stressful or take much more effort, says Mangels, who suggests focusing on the meatless meals your family already eats, such as the aforementioned macaroni and cheese, a hearty minestrone or lentil soup, or bean burritos.

From there, “it’s all about looking at foods that you can make vegetarian or not quickly, like stir-frying a whole lot of vegetables and offering both tofu and chicken, so that everyone can mix what they like,” she says, noting that giving up meat is positive for the environment and can be much less expensive. “Just try seeing it as an opportunity to help the whole family eat healthier.”

T-10672 filed by Cascade Timberlands, (Oregon), LLC (15 SW Colorado, Suite 3, Bend, OR 97702), proposes a change in place of use and a change in character of use under Certificate 13628. The right allows the use of up to 2.33 Cubic Feet per Second (CFS) (priority date September 1, 1898) from Big Marsh Creek in Sec. 20, T 24 S, R 7 E, W.M. for Irrigation in Sec. 20. The applicant proposes to create an instream use beginning in Big Marsh Creek (from the diversion to the confluence with Crescent Creek, into Crescent Creek to the confluence with the Little Deschutes River, and into the Little Deschutes River to the mouth), at a maximum of 2.33 CFS, and to establish mitigation credits in the Little Deschutes Zone of Impact. The application was amended to reduce the number of acres proposed for transfer and to cancel a portion of Certificate 13628.

The Water Resources Department has concluded that the proposed transfer appears to be consistent with the requirements of ORS Chapter 540 and OAR 690-380-5000. The Department has also concluded that the proposed transfer appears to result in mitigation credits pursuant to OAR 690-521-0300 & OAR 690-521-0400.

Any person may file, jointly or severally, with the Department a protest or standing statement within 30 days after the date of final publication of notice in the Department's weekly notice or of this newspaper notice, whichever is later. A protest form and additional information on filing protests may be obtained by calling (503) 986-0883. The last date of newspaper publication is January 13, 2011. If no protests are filed, the Department will issue a final order consistent with the preliminary determination.
