SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The line to get into the Oregon Ducks BCS Pep Rally stretched around nearly two blocks of Old Town on Sunday evening. If you were not wearing green and yellow, you were out of place.

As thousands of fans stood in line to have their IDs checked, a security guard told some of the crowd that those who did not want to drink alcohol could move to the left side of the line and go right in.

Two fans went.

uburn fans may be few and far between in Central Oregon, but they are here, vocal and proud.

“Before now, very few people, unless they are football fans, even knew where Auburn is,” said Jay Black, a commercial real estate broker in Bend and 1990 graduate of Auburn. “People know that we’re around and we’re good, but not where we come from. It’s still the same now, no one knows.”

Black admits there was very little interest in his alma mater, which is located in Alabama, until Dec. 4, when the Oregon Ducks and the Auburn Tigers both secured their place in the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game.

But even as Auburn became a Ducks fan’s newest public enemy, Black said he does not feel like he is back in the battleground of the Southeastern Conference.

“Even now, there has really been no change in hostility,” Black said.

The city of Bend has a list of more than $200 million in transportation, water and sewer improvements it would like to undertake over the next five years to either upgrade its current network of infrastructure or simply repair and maintain it.

Of that $200 million, $175,695,600 will be paid by Bend utility customers through water and sewer rate increases.

Some of those increases have already been implemented, and others are looming over the next several years.

To put that number in perspective, that means every single one of Bend’s 83,000 residents — and this figure includes children and non-ratepayers alike — would be responsible for about $2,100 of the $175 million in improvements, or about $420 a year from 2011 to 2015.

But considering there are only about 24,000 municipal water customers in Bend, and approximately 27,000 sewer customers, that burden is even greater. Of course, since water rates are tied to use, people who use more water will pay more.

While many capital improvements can be delayed when money is tight, city officials say the water and sewer systems are in desperate need of upgrades.

“We have infrastructure needs in this city that come from a lot of growth and aging infrastructure,” said City Manager Eric King. “We’re doing what we can to try to minimize rate increases to the best of our ability without sacrificing our need to make these infrastructure improvements.”

New passport wording makes travel a bit more gay-friendly

By Mary Beth Sheridan and Ed O’Keefe The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Goodbye, Mom and Dad. Hello, Parent One and Parent Two. The State Department has decided to make U.S. passport application forms “gender neutral” by removing references to mother and father, officials said.

The change is “in recognition of different types of families,” according to a statement issued just before Christmas that drew widespread attention late last week after it was highlighted in a Fox News report.

Official announcement of the change was buried at the end of a Dec. 22 news release titled “Consular Report of Birth Abroad Certificate Improvements” that highlighted unrelated new security features.

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, shown at a Facebook developers conference in San Francisco on April 21, isn’t exactly a household name in Japan. In contrast to the social-networking site’s popularity in the U.S. and other countries, there are relatively few Facebook users in Japan — fewer than 2 million, or less than 2 percent of Japan’s online population.

There are few friends on Facebook in Japan

By Hiroko Tabuchi New York Times News Service

TOKYO — Mark Zuckerberg.

Who? The 26-year-old Facebook founder and chief executive may be the man of the moment in the United States and much of the rest of the online world. But here in Japan, one of the globe’s most wired nations, few people have heard of him.

And relatively few Japanese use Facebook, the global socialnetworking phenomenon based in Palo Alto, Calif., that recently added its 583 millionth member worldwide.

Facebook users in Japan number fewer than 2 million, or less than 2 percent of the country’s online population. That is in sharp contrast to the United States, where 60 percent of Internet users are on Facebook, according to the analytics site Socialbakers.

So even as Goldman Sachs pours $450 million into the company, Japan, with a large and growing online advertising market, is a big hole in Facebook’s global fabric.

Japanese, until now, have flocked to various well-entrenched social-networking sites and game portals — like Mixi, Gree and Mobage-town. Each has more than 20 million users, and each offers its own approach to connecting people online.

Identities masked One trait those sites have in common is crucial to Japan’s fiercely private netizens. The Japanese sites let members mask their identities — in distinct contrast to the real-name, oversharing hypothetical user on which Facebook’s business model is based.

Japanese Web users, even popular bloggers, typically hide behind pseudonyms or nicknames.

“Facebook does face a challenge in Japan,” said Shigenori Suzuki, a Tokyo-based analyst at Nielsen/NetRatings.

“There are powerful rivals, and then there’s the question of Japanese Web culture.”

Taro Kodama, Facebook’s manager for Japan, referred questions to the United States, where a spokeswoman, Kumiko Hidaka, did not respond to requests for comment.

One key to the growth that might help justify the $50 billion valuation that Goldman’s planned investment placed on Facebook would be to expand its presence in Japan, where the overall online advertising market had sales of 706.9 billion yen ($8.5 billion) in 2009. (Someday China could present another big growth opportunity. But, for now, government censors there block access to Facebook.)

Zuckerberg has promised to address the Japan gap. But it will not be easy.

To begin with, each of Japan’s own social-networking sites, though no longer growing at the

Facebook agrees to modify terms for states Facebook has agreed to modify its terms and conditions for agencies within states across the country, removing obstacles in resolving legal issues that arise from using the social-networking site.

Changes announced last week

by Colorado Attorney General John Suthers include striking an indemnity clause that requires users to pay legal fees to Facebook for harm or loss, unless a state’s constitution allows it.

Other changes include removing a provision that requires resolving legal disputes with Facebook in California courts, calling for the prominent display of a state agency’s website on its Facebook page and encourage amicable resolution to disputes.

“We look forward to continuing to work with Facebook and starting a new dialogue with the people of Colorado through the company’s website,” Suthers said in a statement. He said his agency will establish a Facebook page after nearly a year of studying the issue and negotiating.

The changes are similar to those reached last year with federal breakneck pace of the past few years, has at least 10 times as many users as Facebook, which was introduced in Japanese in mid-2008.

Most similar to Facebook is Mixi, started in 2004. Users post photographs, share comments and links, and interact on community pages that have become huge forums based on themes as diverse as recipe-sharing and Michael Jackson. Mixi has more than 21.6 million members.

Fast-growing Gree, which overtook Mixi this year with nearly 22.5 million registered users, has expanded by buttressing a popular game platform for mobile phones that offers free games, which users play with manga-style avatars; fancy outfits or tools for games are available for a fee.

Mobage-town, which has almost 21.7 million users, offers a similar combination of avatars, games and accessories. It also lets users earn virtual gaming money by clicking on advertisers’ websites.

No reason to switch Now, all three sites are starting to incorporate elements of Facebook — like allowing thirdparty developers to make apps for the sites — giving Japanese users little reason to switch.

Mixi, meanwhile, has been adapting some techniques of other popular Silicon Valley startups. Since late 2009, for example, Mixi users have been able to send short, real-time messages with a maximum of 150 characters, akin to the popular microblogging service, Twitter.

Such flourishes have not kept many Japanese consumers from taking to Twitter, which is catch-

agencies and do not affect individual accounts.

Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes said the federal agreement resulted in 50 federal agencies creating hundreds of Facebook pages that now have millions of fans.

Federal agencies with Facebook accounts include the White House, the U.S. Navy and Federal Emergency Management Agency, which posted live updates of relief efforts during its response to the Haiti earthquake last January.

Many local agencies already use Facebook, including San Francisco, which has 260,000 fans, the Ohio Secretary of State, and emergency management agencies in Mississippi and Colorado.

“Facebook is becoming an essential tool for democracy, enabling interactive discussions between governments and citizens. We are pleased to have been able to work with representatives from state and local governments in the United States to ensure that they can have a presence on Facebook,” Noyes said in a statement.

— The Associated Press ing on here at a speed Facebook might envy. A partnership with Digital Garage, a local Internet and mobile services company, has sparked a surge in Twitter users, who numbered about 10 million in Japan in July, according to Nielsen Online NetView.

But Twitter does not require users to reveal their identities.

Facebook and Zuckerberg are about to get a blast of publicity in Japan, although perhaps not of the most positive sort. “The Social Network,” the movie that presents a less-than-flattering portrayal of Zuckerberg, opens in Japan this week.

Blood types displayed Facebook has stepped up efforts to tailor its service to Japan.

A Japanese version of the site, translated free by volunteers, has been around since mid-2008, but the company opened a Tokyo office last February to customize the site for Japan. (Facebook’s Japanese site, for example, allows users to display their blood types, considered an important personality trait here.) Some users complain that Facebook’s Japanese-language site is awkward to use.

People like Maiko Ueda, 26, a Mixi devotee, see little reason to switch.

Ueda, who works at an Osakabased stationer, logs into Mixi at least once a day to read other users’ “diaries,” which resemble status updates on Facebook, albeit in longer form. She uploads pictures of her American shorthair cat, and sometimes writes about her day in her own posts.

But most people on Mixi do not know her real name, nor have they seen what she looks like. In her five years on Mixi,

she has never uploaded a photo of herself.

She has heard of Facebook but says she is suspicious of “how open it seems.”

“I don’t want to give it my real name,” Ueda said. “What if strangers find out who you are?

Or someone from your company?” She spoke on the condition that her Mixi user name would not be revealed.

(END OPTIONAL TRIM.) In a survey of 2,130 Japanese mobile Web users by the Tokyo-based MMD Laboratory, 89 percent of respondents said they were reluctant to disclose their real names on the Web. Specialists say that while Facebook users in the United States tend to re-create real-life social relationships online, many Japanese use Web anonymity to express themselves, free from the pressures to fit into a conformist workplace.

In a 2010 survey by Microsoft of social network use among 3,000 people in 11 Asia-Pacific countries and regions, respondents on average said that only about one-quarter of their friends on social-networking sites were close friends. In Japan, more than half of all respondents said that not one of their acquaintances on social networks were close friends.

Mixi has grown by letting users sign up with pseudonyms, and gives its subscribers finegrain controls over who sees posts and other uploads. Mixi also lets users closely monitor who has viewed their profiles with a function known as “footprints.”

In contrast, Facebook has insisted that Japanese users adhere to its real-name policy.

“Facebook values real-life connections,” warns a message that pops up when a Japanese user withholds information, like the traditional characters used in names. “Please use your real name,” it reads.

“I think there has to be an event, a celebrity signing up for Facebook, or something else that teaches Japanese users that identifying themselves online isn’t scary and can be useful,” said Toshihiko Michibata, an ecommerce and social media consultant in Japan.

Too much information Japan could be an extreme case of the privacy issues that Facebook is tackling elsewhere.

Facebook introduced stronger privacy controls in May after groups complained that it shared too much personal data.

“The dangers of too little privacy may be lost in the global Facebook fad, but it’s likely to become a growing problem elsewhere,” said a popular blogger known online as Akky Akimoto, but who does not reveal his real name and refuses to be photographed in public.

“I’d hate it if people on the street recognize me, without me knowing.”

E-mail use falls as the young turn to chatting and texting

By Matt Richtel New York Times News Service

SAN FRANCISCO — Signs you’re an old fogy: You still watch movies on a VCR, listen to vinyl records and shoot photos on film.

And you enjoy using e-mail.

Young people, of course, much prefer online chats and text messages. These have been on the rise for years but are now threatening to eclipse e-mail, much as they have already superseded phone calls.

Major Internet companies like Facebook are responding with message services that are focused on immediate gratification.

The problem with e-mail, young people say, is that it involves a boringly long process of signing in, typing out a subject line and then sending a message that might not be received or answered for hours.

And sign-offs like “sincerely” — seriously?

Lena Jenny, 17, a high school senior in Cupertino, Calif., said texting was so quick that “I sometimes have an answer before I even shut my phone.” E-mail, she added, is “so lame.”

Facebook is trying to appeal to the Lenas of the world. It is rolling out a revamped messaging service that is intended to feel less like e-mail and more like texting.

The company decided to eliminate the subject line on messages after its research showed that it was most commonly left blank or used for an uninformative “hi” or “yo.”

Facebook also killed the “cc” and “bcc” lines. And hitting the enter key can immediately fire off the message, a la instant messaging, instead of creating a new paragraph.

The changes, company executives say, leave behind formalities that separate users from what they crave: instant conversation.

“The future of messaging is more real time, more conversational and more casual,” said Andrew Bosworth, director of engineering at Facebook, where he oversees communications tools. “The medium isn’t the message. The message is the message.”

The numbers testify to the trend. The number of total unique visitors in the U.S. to major e-mail sites like Yahoo and Hotmail is now in steady decline, according to the research company comScore.

Such visits peaked in November 2009 and have since slid 6 percent; visits among 12- to 17-year-olds fell around 18 percent. (The only big gainer in the category has been Gmail, up 10 percent from a year ago.)

The slide in e-mail does not reflect a drop in digital communication; people have just gravitated to instant messaging, texting and Facebook (4 billion messages daily).

James Katz, director of the Center for Mobile Communications Studies at Rutgers University, said this was not the death of e-mail but more of a downgrade, thanks to greater choice and nuance among communications tools.

“It’s painful for them,” he said of the younger generation and e-mail. “It doesn’t suit their social intensity.”

“The future of messaging is more real time, more conversational and more casual.

The medium isn’t the message. The message is the message.”

T S ARIZONA SHOOTINGS Who are they?

Here’s a closer look at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, other victims and the suspect in Saturday’s shooting rampage in Tucson, Ariz.:

AMONG THE VICTIMS Gabrielle Giffords One of her state’s most highprofile Democrats, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, 40, seems at first glance to be an unlikely choice of voters in conservative-leaning southern Arizona. But she has managed to remain popular, winning election three times in the Tucson-area congressional district by holding centrist positions and bucking her party’s position on many issues.

She has been mentioned as a possible Democratic nominee in 2012 for the U.S. Senate seat held

by Republican Jon Kyl or for the governor’s office in 2014.

Giffords began holding “Congress on Your Corner” events like Saturday’s in 2006, when she and other Democratic freshmen were encouraged by their national leadership to meet directly with their constituents.

Prosecutors cite evidence of an assassination plot

By Marc Lacey and David M. Herszenhorn New York Times News Service

TUCSON, Ariz. — Prosecutors accused Jared Lee Loughner, a troubled 22-year-old college dropout, of five serious federal charges on Sunday, including the attempted assassination of a member of Congress, for his role in a shootout that left 20 people wounded, six of them fatally, on Saturday morning.

Court documents filed in the U.S. District Court in Phoenix indicated that evidence seized from

Loughner’s home showed that he had planned to kill Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, 40, who was in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head. Found in Loughner’s home, FBI special agent Tony Tayler said in an affidavit supporting the charges, was an envelope with the handwritten words, “I planned ahead,” “My assassination,” and “Giffords.”

The details of the envelope were not disclosed.

The court documents say that Loughner purchased the semiautomatic Glock pistol used at the

shooting at Sportsman’s Warehouse in Tucson on Nov. 30. The documents also indicate that the suspect had previous contact with the congresswoman. Found in the same safe was a letter from Giffords thanking Loughner for attending a 2007 “Congress on Your Corner” event, like the one she was holding on Saturday morning when she was attacked.

Along with being accused of deliberately trying to take Giffords’ life, Loughner was charged with the killing and attempted killing of four U.S. government

officials, among them U.S. District Judge John Roll, who was killed; congressional aide Gabriel Zimmerman, also killed; and congressional aides Pamela Simon and Ron Barber, who were wounded.

At a news conference at University Medical Center, the congresswoman’s doctors said that she was the only one of the victims of Saturday’s shooting to remain in critical care at the hospital. They said that she was lucky to be alive but would not speculate about the degree of her recovery.

Christina Green Described as smart, quiet and gentle, 9-year-old Christina was born on Sept. 11, 2001. She was featured in a 2002 book of portraits called “Faces of Hope” about children born that day. Bill Badger, who subdued the gunman, said he noticed Christina before the carnage began. The thirdgrader was standing behind Giffords, getting ready to meet the politician.

The little girl was beaming.

Her mother said Christina was patriotic and liked to wear red, white and blue. Like a lot of girls her age, she loved animals and wanted to be a vet. She was also a passionate dancer, and the only girl on her baseball team. Christina had just been elected to the student council at Mesa Verde Elementary School in Tucson. “She was a good speaker,” her father told the Arizona Daily Star.

“I could have easily seen her as a politician.”

John Roll John Roll, 63, the chief federal judge in Arizona, is the first federal judge killed since U.S. Appeals Court Judge Robert Vance was slain by a pipe bomb at his Birmingham, Ala., home in 1989.

In a statement, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts praised Roll as “a wise jurist who selflessly served Arizona and the nation.”

Colleagues and officials described him as a thoughtful and quiet man, an avid churchgoer and lap swimmer who loved public service and never complained about the threats against his life. “We are brokenhearted,” said Rebecca White Berch, chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, who knew Roll well. “He was one of the nicest, most gentle and fair people you can imagine. This is just devastating to everyone.”

THE SUSPECT Jared Lee Loughner Jared Lee Loughner, 22, of Tucson, or someone using his name, left a series of postings and homemade videos that laid out a fervent, though largely incoherent, set of political views.

In one video, titled “America: Your last memory in a terrorist country!,” a figure in dark clothing burns an American flag in the desert. Another video attacks the police at Tucson’s Pima Community College, where he had been a student. School officials said in a statement that Loughner attended the community college from 2005 until last fall, when he withdrew after disciplinary problems.

“He wasn’t very outgoing, but he was personable. If you sat down to talk to him, he would talk to you back,” friend Timothy Cheves, 22, said.

“But he’d get frustrated with people easily. ... He’d think that a lot of people were just idiots.”

That included people in politics, Cheves said: “He was like a radical against both parties. ... From what I got, it seemed like he didn’t like anybody that was in power.”

— From wire reports

Chris Carlson / The Associated Press

Well-wishers gather for a candlelight vigil outside the offices of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., in Tucson, Ariz., on Sunday. Giffords was critically wounded and six people were killed during a mass shooting at a political event Saturday in Tucson.

Shootings Continued from A1 Suarez and his wife, originally from Colombia, for years sought and received help from the office of Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., as they went through the U.S. citizenship process. As recently as last fall, when they finally became citizens and wanted to drop in and say thanks, they’ve been able to freely walk into his district office.

Others said their lawmakers already are too inaccessible. Some complained they don’t respond to their letters or calls. Or that they don’t spend enough time out and about in their districts. Or that they’re distracted by fundraising pressures. Or that they’re too wealthy to have anything in common with the people they’re supposed to represent. Or that in the hyper-partisan climate, they don’t feel they have equal access if they have differing political views.

“I haven’t felt like he’s really in touch,” Jennifer Thompson, a Republican voter from Newport News, Va., said of her congressman, Democrat Bobby Scott.

If the Arizona shootings expose any real need for beefed-up congressional security nationwide, several voters said Sunday they’d be willing to spend tax dollars for small security details, or to go through metal detectors or random bag checks at town hall meetings or district offices.

But they don’t want their lawmakers to use the incident as cover to avoid dealing directly with the people they represent.

“I think it should stay the same,” said Kathleen King, of Aberdeen, Md. “I think (the Arizona shooting) was just a fluke.”

Over the years, lawmakers

Kevin Shilko, of Shrewsbury, Pa., said the latest debate is “just a statement of the time we’re living in.” About five years ago, he went to his state representative’s office for help with a military recognition for his deceased father, and the lawmaker met with him in person. In retrospect, Shilko recalls how there’d been no screening and he’d just walked in.

“I always carry a pocketknife,” he said. “And nothing was said about that.”

Voting begins on succession for Sudan’s southland

By Jeffrey Gettleman New York Times News Service

JUBA, Sudan — It’s not every day that a beleaguered, marginalized and persecuted people get a chance to vote for their own freedom. On Sunday, southern Sudanese did.

Starting in the cool hours of the night, long before the polls even opened, people across this region began lining up at polling stations to cast their votes in a historic referendum on whether to declare independence. Jubilant crowds made clear which was the overwhelmingly popular choice.

“I feel like I’m going to a new land,” beamed Susan Duku, a southern Sudanese woman who works for the United Nations.

As the sun cleared the horizon and the voting began, the streets of Juba, the capital of southern Sudan, broke into a street party. Women were literally skipping around the polls. Young men thumped on drums. Others were wrapped in flags.

Southern Sudan has suffered a lot, and after years of civil war, oppression and displacement, many people here saw the vote as an unprecedented chance at self-determination. The referendum ballot offered two choices, unity with northern Sudan or secession.

The referendum is a result of a conflict that lasted for decades and an Americanbacked peace treaty in 2005, which granted the south the right to self-determination.

The voting will continue for the next week. Preliminary reports indicated that it was going smoothly.

The votes are expected to take at least a week to count.

And if 60 percent of the registered voters cast ballots and the majority choose secession, then the hard work begins. Before Sudan can amicably split into two — the south plans to declare independence in July — several sticky issues need to be resolved. The top two are sharing Sudan’s oil and demarcating the border, including the Abyei area, which both the north and south claim.

Fees

pending increases, city officials believe that will still be true, as other municipalities will likely have increases to keep up with operations and maintenance costs or to fund other projects.

Finance Director Sonia Andrews said the city is currently in the middle of updating its rate models for both water and sewer. She said these models are based on conservative revenue and expenditure projections, and are being spread out over 10 years instead of a five-year stretch that was used for previous forecasts.

“The hope is that we’ve been conservative enough that the real picture is better than our model,” Andrews said. “It’s unavoidable that rates will have to go up to pay for these projects, but the city is doing everything it can to spread the rate increases to lessen the impact on citizens today.”

She called this “generational equity” and said it’s a way to make sure people who live in Bend now aren’t paying for something that future residents will benefit from. She said the city is also probably going to defer the $13 million hydropower component of its Bridge Creek upgrade as another means to reduce the “sticker shock” for ratepayers.

These rate increases will also be updated every year to make sure the city isn’t overcharging its customers if projects are delayed, if revenues spike upward or costs come in under what was initially projected.

Andrews said Bend utility customers should also consider that the city typically increases its rates every year just to deal with the rising costs of operating its water and sewer systems.

“Every year, rates are increasing, so it’s not out of the ordinary,” Andrews said. “It’s just over the next five years you’re going to see a larger increase than what you’d normally see.

It’s just a question of when those increases are going to get back to the normal increases.”

Without the major water and sewer projects, she estimated the annual increase in monthly bills would probably be in the 3 to 4 percent range.

Ducks fans pack the area around a stage in downtown Scottsdale, Ariz., on Sunday for a pep rally ahead of today’s big game against the Tigers.

Ducks Continued from A1 University of Oregon football fans came to the Valley of the Sun not only to watch their beloved Ducks, but to party with old friends and alumni — and they came in droves.

Thousands of fans attended the pep rally on a football field with a concert stage in front and beer tents lining the sides.

Some were too late to make it inside the gate — there just was not enough room.

So hundreds more fans stood on top of a nearby parking garage to watch the festivities.

Many of the fans likely do not have tickets for tonight’s BCS National Championship Game against Auburn in Glendale, Ariz., but they don’t care.

Just being here is enough.

But some lucky fans from Central Oregon do have tickets, and they made their way to the pep rally as the sun painted the desert hills.

“Pretty much a Ducks fan’s dream come true,” said Kelly Schukart, 31, of Bend. “We’ve seen friends from different times in our lives, and everyone’s just really excited about the Ducks.

“I’m very lucky. My husband’s a Beaver (Oregon State alum), and he’s at home with our 2-yearold. He let me come for a girls’ weekend because he understands

Tigers Continued from A1 “One of the cool things about this matchup, there is no heated rivalry. I can sit next to an Oregon fan, and we can both root for our teams. If I did that next to an Alabama fan or a Florida fan, well, it would be difficult. It’s a religion down there.”

Black moved to Bend shortly after he graduated because his wife, Dana, who is a Washington State Cougar, was from the area.

In the past 20 years, he has found some admiration for the Ducks.

“As a fan of Auburn living in Oregon, I wouldn’t want this any other way,” he said. “I’ve gone to see only two teams play college football at their home stadiums in the past 20 years. That’s Oregon and Auburn. This is perfect.

It’s going to be a great game.”

Robert Andrews, a local physician and 1986 graduate of Auburn, said he hasn’t been harassed too much by Oregon fans ... yet.

“There has only been one person to address me about it,” Andrews said. “I was talking about the game, and this guy came up and told me he hated Auburn.

Come on, how do you hate Auburn living out here? You don’t have a reason yet.

“For the most part, though, the Oregon fans are mellow,” he said. “They aren’t militant like

Passports Continued from A1 The new policy is a win for gay-rights groups, a vocal and financially generous Democratic voting bloc that has pushed for the change since Barack Obama began his presidential transition in late 2008. The decision follows last month’s vote to end the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, which gay leaders consider one of their biggest victories in years.

Fred Sainz, vice president of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay-rights advocacy group, called the news “a positive step forward for all American families. It was time that the federal government acknowledged the reality that

what an amazing game this is.”

Yellow pom-poms and Ducks flags were everywhere. Past friends reunited as they celebrated the Ducks playing for the national title.

“Overwhelming,” said Bend’s Amanda Gow, waving a small Ducks flag. “Everybody is so excited. We were out at the bars last night until 4 in the morning ... at Dos Gringos, which is the Ducks bar down here. There was just Ducks fans running around everywhere. And I’ve seen so many friends from college that I haven’t seen in years.

“It’s crazy. I go to Autzen for all the games, but I’ve never seen anything like this. The energy is fantastic.”

The pep rally started with Sebastian Bach, a heavy-metal singer and the ex-frontman of 1980s band Skid Row. He performed his Oregon Ducks power ballad, which has become a YouTube sensation over the last week since he performed it on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on NBC. At one point in the song, Bach mispronounced “Willamette.”

He was rebuked by former PGA Tour star and Oregon alum Peter Jacobson, who was next on the stage, along with Neil Everett, an ESPN SportsCenter anchor and Oregon alum from the class of 1984.

“When I was in Eugene, we didn’t have this many people at a football game,” Everett said.

Everett presented former Oregon quarterback Joey Harrington, who recently finished his career in the NFL. “I would take eight years in the NFL for one more game in Autzen Stadium,” Harrington said, and he sounded like he meant it.

“You can bring the magic of Autzen to Glendale.”

Other speakers included honorary captain Ahmad Rashad, a sportscaster who played running back for Oregon in the early 1970s, and UO President Richard Lariviere.

“There have been some defining moments in Oregon athletic history, (but) none bigger than (today),” Rashad said.

Finally, the star of the Oregon football program made it to the stage to resounding cheers.

“Tomorrow night, the group of guys I’ve been with since August 9, and the group of guys I love with all my heart, will make you proud,” Oregon head coach Chip Kelly said.

Finally, the hourlong pep rally came to an end, and Oregon fans hustled off to the bars to enjoy their moment in the sun.

“I’m pumped up!” Schukart said. “It’s unbelievable. I can’t even believe how many people are here. All those people up on the roof ... awesome.”

SEC teams, where they live and breathe and eat football. I like the priority here more. It’s not all football, all the time.”

Black and Andrews are hosting an Auburn fan party at Scanlon’s Restaurant today. Andrews says Auburn fans are welcome to join them to revel in all things blue and orange.

“We tried to find every fan we could,” Andrews said. “If there’s a true Auburn fan out there, I would love for them to show up.”

The group expects some 30 fans to be there to greet them in the proper “war eagle” way — an Auburn greeting.

One fan who won’t be making the party is Logan Madson, a Summit High School graduate still attending Auburn.

On Friday at 5 a.m., Madson packed his Honda Accord, adorned with Auburn stickers, two Auburn flags and Oregon license plates, and began the trek down to Arizona.

Madson was a member of Auburn’s swim team, which won national championships in 2006, 2007 and 2009. He doesn’t have a ticket for the game, but he said he’s not going to miss a chance to take part in another national championship for the Tigers.

“Even though it’s the football team this time, I still feel like I’m part of it,” he said. “If they win, I’ll feel like I win. All the student athletes at Auburn watched and supported us when we won

those national championships. I think at the time I took that for granted. It will be nice to turn it around this time — to be on the outside looking in.”

Kerrie Madson, Logan’s mother and a convert to Auburn athletics since her son enrolled in the school in 2005, said she has been working the past few years to turn students at Miller Elementary School into Auburn fans.

She says her desk at the school, where she works as a secretary, is “covered in Auburn,” including photos of her son, a half-dozen Tiger dolls and an orange Auburn Christmas tree decorated with blue bulbs.

While she hasn’t been too successful at turning Ducks fans to her cause, she says they do accept her.

“I tell them about my son, and they seem to be OK with it,” she said. “It’s really never been an issue, even now. We live right here in Bend, and have blue and orange lights on the house with giant Auburn flags in the windows, and we don’t have to worry about it at all.”

That may change if her prediction for the game comes true.

“I think Auburn will end up winning,” she said. “But it won’t be by a lot. I would just really, really like to see Auburn win.”

hundreds of thousands of kids in this country are being raised by same-sex parents.”

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, blasted it as reflecting the “topsyturvy world of left-wing political correctness.”

“This is clearly designed to advance the causes of same-sex ‘marriage’ and homosexual parenting without statutory authority, and violates the spirit if not the letter of the Defense of Marriage Act,” he said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear whether a similar change would be made to all federal documents.

But after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced in 2009 that partners of gay American diplomats would be eligible for

benefits accorded to spouses, the rest of the U.S. government followed suit.

Rosemary Macray of the State Department Bureau of Consular Affairs shrugged off complaints of political correctness and described the switch as an unremarkable bureaucratic tweak to the DS-11 form.

“Really, there have been so many changes in the last 10 or 15 years with reproductive technology and the like, and so this is why it is important for us to accurately reflect families in these applications,” she said.

The DS-11 is required of firsttime passport applicants and children younger than 16. The change will go into effect Feb. 1, Macray said.

Continued from A1 Perhaps the largest single project is the city’s reconstruction of its Bridge Creek water system, which includes replacing about 10 miles of deteriorating pipeline and building a state-of-the-art treatment plant to clean the water. The current estimated cost of that project is $58 million, though the city has been exploring whether to add a hydropower component to the system that would increase the price to $73 million.

The next most expensive individual projects deal with the city’s sewer system. One is a $20 million expansion of the wastewater treatment plant to increase the capacity. The other is a $30 million project that will intercept sewage from southeast Bend and route it around the downtown area and into the treatment facility in the northeast part of town.

There are a number of other sewer and water-related projects on the city’s improvement list that account for the remainder of the $175 million. Some of this cost, about $7.5 million, is simply for the repair and maintenance of current infrastructure that is expected over the next five years, while other portions are allocated to growth-related projects, like drilling new groundwater wells.

Fee hikes ongoing Bend’s water and sewer rates have already increased over the past several years to help pay for some of these infrastructure improvements.

Since fiscal year 2007-08, ratepayers have seen a 23.6 percent increase in their water bills and a 37.75 percent hike in their sewer bills.

Today, the typical monthly water charge in the summer is $66.95. Without the fee increases over the past several years, that summer charge would be around $53. The sewer rate, which is a flat fee, is now at $35.90 a month, about $11 more than it would be without the recent fee increases.

With the $58 million Bridge Creek project, water customers can expect to see an additional 42.5 percent increase in their bills over the next five years, according to the most recent city estimates prepared in August.

City officials don’t have up-to-date estimates on how much rates will increase for the sewer projects, but they are preparing that information for a Jan. 21 Bend City Council budget workshop.

New water rate estimates will also be prepared for that meeting.

Public Works Director Paul Rheault said he understands that Bend utility customers are probably going through “rate shock” right now. But he added that the city can’t delay the projects any longer without exposing itself to some significant risks.

“We have these major infrastructure projects that we have to do, and I don’t know how to sugarcoat it,” Rheault said. “I think sometimes there’s a perception of public works people across the nation that we go out and think up some of these projects and that’s not the case. It pains me to work with the finance department to increase rates.”

One of the major driving forces behind the Bridge Creek overhaul is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandate that is making the city treat its surface water for Cryptosporidium by 2012. The 10-mile-long pipelines that carry the water from Bridge Creek to a treatment facility just outside of Bend, are also decades old and in danger of collapse.

Rheault said the city has known about the EPA rule since 1996. It wasn’t until there was a changing of the guard in the department’s leadership over the past several years that he said the water system upgrade became a priority.

“For whatever reason, I don’t know why, it’s been punted over the years, and now it’s on our watch,” he said. “It would have been nice if we would have done this eight years ago. We wouldn’t be in this situation.”

Bend’s sewer system faced a similar fate, though the city’s exponential population growth also played a role. As people began flooding into Bend, they started putting pressure on the city’s

aging wastewater treatment plant. Rheault said that today, the plant can barely handle the flows that come into the facility, and it’s nearing its capacity to actually treat the sewage.

The interceptor project that diverts sewage around Bend’s core, he said, is needed to reduce the pressure on old sewer lines downtown. It also will allow people in southeast Bend — a place Rheault said has a lot of development potential — to hook into the sewer system.

Some energy efficiencies will be realized as well, as the project will increase the reliance on gravity to push the sewage to the treatment plant without the use of multiple pumping stations.

By postponing these projects, Rheault said, the city faces everything from possible enforcement action from the federal government to losing out on economic development opportunities because it doesn’t have the infrastructure capacity to handle an influx of new people or businesses. With the improvements, he said, the city will once again be poised for the future.

“We’ve gone from a city of 30,000 or 35,000 people to 85,000 people,” he said. “Now, here come the infrastructure needs, and it’s just unfortunate that they’re all coming at the same time.”

Bend isn’t the only city in need of updating its aging infrastructure. Nationwide, municipalities are struggling with updating their water and sewer systems while also trying to keep up with state or federal mandates like the EPA’s requirements to treat for Cryptosporidium, which is something Portland is fighting right now.

For instance, in a 2009 EPA report to Congress, the agency found that over the next 20 years, $335 billion would be needed to update, maintain or expand public water infrastructure throughout the country. For wastewater, that figure is $390 billion.

Other improvements Bend also has other improvements it wants to make outside of its water and sewer systems.

These include $13.9 million for the municipal airport, $9.1 million for major street projects and $2.6 million for improvements to handle stormwater. With the exception of a $4 monthly fee for stormwater, money for these projects comes through grants, franchise fees and charges levied against builders for their developments.

When compared with other cities in Oregon, Bend’s water and sewer rates fall somewhere in the middle. The rates aren’t the highest in the state and also not the lowest. With the im-

Trimming the list From a policy standpoint, recently appointed Mayor Jeff Eager said the City Council will have to make sure it does everything it can to rein in costs while also balancing Bend’s infrastructure needs.

Part of this could be trimming and reprioritizing the list of improvements the city currently has planned, which is something that is done every year.

He said the city can also look for ways to make its infrastructure, particularly the sewer and water systems, operate more efficiently so that future impacts on rates are limited.

“I don’t think the city can afford all of these projects,” Eager said. “I think that realistically we’re not going to be able to do all of them in the next five years, so there’s going to be a prioritization process and determination of what we need to do, and those things will go to the top of the list.”

With the city facing large budget shortfalls over the next several years, including an estimated five-year, $20 million deficit in its general fund, he said the choices the council makes on what projects to pursue or put off will be all the more important.

As for the major sewer and water upgrades that are under way, Eager echoed the public works director in saying that the city is facing an “urgent situation,” where it could face possible action from the state or federal government if it doesn’t make the improvements, and risk losing out on economic development opportunities if it can’t handle new growth.

For those reasons, he said, the upcoming rate increases are a necessary evil.

“What I would say to people, and to myself since I’m a ratepayer, is that it is a very unfortunate situation which has occurred. And that situation is that the city has backlogged a number of important improvements to the water and sewer system, which are necessary for various reasons,” Eager said.

“It is extremely unfortunate that the pressures are coming to bear right now during these difficult economic times. I think the solution in the long run is to have the city plan a little better and try to make sure that there’s not as much concentrated pressure on the ratepayer at any one time, especially during a severe economic recession.”

“It’s still not going out real far compared to how you would personally do it at home,” Neff said. “The policy is much more robust.”

Before the city adopted the new policy, Neff took the plan to the Oregon Short-Term Fund Board for review. The board does not have the power to allow or reject a plan; that decision is left to the local municipalities.

The state has allowed longerterm investment for several years, but the state Legislature created the board to make sure the changes were responsible ones, according to James Sinks, a spokesman for state Treasurer Ted Wheeler.

Forecast calls for snow’s return followed by rain

guide Faith Perry invited

the 10 visitors to take stock of one of the key ingredients in many of the brewery’s offerings.

Bend Brewing Co. employee Steven Denio pours a sample of one of the brewery’s seasonal ales for a patron visiting during the Bend Brew Bus tour Sunday afternoon.

“Everyone take a nice big smell — I love the smell of the hops cooler,” Perry said, before telling the gathered visitors about the origin of hops in beer.

The group was participating in Wanderlust Tour’s Bend Brew Bus expedition, which shuttles people to four different local breweries where they can sample beers, tour the facility and snack on appetizers. Then, after all the beer sampling, the shuttle bus will drop participants off at their home or hotel.

Jennifer Webster, of Atlanta, came with a couple of her former college roommates, and was impressed by the size of the brewery operation.

“This is kind of fun,” she said, sipping a beer sample. She and her friends were looking for fun activities, and thought the tour would be a good alternative to skiing.

“We love beer,” said Webster’s friend Polly Sierk, of West Linn. “Oregon is such a wine (state), and I’m more of a beer person.”

Jill Freeman, of Bend, said it was almost overwhelming to see how much work goes into making beer, and noted how fortunate Central Oregon residents are to have so many options.

“I think we take it for granted,” she said, as the group prepared to tour the Bend Brewing Co.’s brewing facility.

Wanderlust Tours started offering the Bend Brew Bus tour, which costs $45, in October, said Jack Newkirk, with the Bend-based organization.

A new investment policy will allow the city of Redmond to put money into longer-term investments and, the city hopes, it will lead to higher returns.

The policy has long been considered by the city, but it wasn’t until 2010 that staff had time to revise the entire investment policy. Much of the revision translates Oregon state law on municipal investments into more plain language, making the document more comprehensive than the previous version.

The largest change is stretching out how long the city can invest some of its money. Under the previous policy, the maximum term on city investments was 18 months.

Now, up to 25 percent of Redmond’s portfolio can be invested for terms of between three and five years. Twenty-five percent will be invested on terms of one year or less. The remainder could be invested for up to three years.

The length of investments may be conservative, but they are guided by state law, according to Jason Neff, the city’s finance and budget manager.

Today is forecast to bring partly cloudy skies, she said, with high temperatures around 30 degrees and low temperatures getting down to 13 at night.

Increasing clouds Tuesday should lead to a chance of snow that afternoon, Coonfield said, with snow becoming more likely in the evening. Highs on Tuesday are forecast to be around 30, she said, with the lows dropping to around 24.

The dry weather forecast for today probably won’t stick around for long, with snow and rain predicted for the rest of the week.

“It’s going to be nice weather (today) and Tuesday, and then a return to snow ... then changing to rain Wednesday afternoon and staying wet the rest of the week,” said Diann Coonfield, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Pendleton.

Bend brothers to receive VIP treatment at inauguration

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

When John Kitzhaber is sworn in as governor today, Bend brothers Justin and Josh Germain will have a front-row seat.

Kitzhaber has invited Justin, 15, and Josh, 13, to take in the inauguration from a VIP section. Afterward, the boys will attend a reception, and even watch the University of Oregon take on Auburn from the Governor’s mansion.

“There’s so much I’m looking

forward to, it’s such an amazing experience that we all get to attend,” said Justin, a sophomore at Oregon Connections Academy, an online school. “It’s a oncein-a-lifetime event.”

The Germains have known Kitzhaber for a couple years, said their mom, Lisa Germain, since they live near Kitzhaber’s girlfriend. Kitzhaber contributed money to help Justin and Josh go to Washington, D.C., a couple of years ago, and now is recogniz-

ing the boys for their hard work in school, she said.

“It’s very exciting,” Lisa Germain said. “And both boys, they go in with their eyes wide open, and they just take it all in.”

Government has always been an interest for Josh, a ninthgrader with the Oregon Connections Academy who said he was very excited to head to Salem.

“I’m just looking forward to the opportunity itself, being able to be there at the state Capitol,”

he said. “The whole opportunity is something I will never forget.”

Other students from the area will be on hand to watch Kitzhaber take office as well. The Youth Choir of Central Oregon will perform at the ceremony, and Katie Bullock, a sixth-grader with the choir, will sing the national anthem.

CALIFORNIA’S SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY

‘Farm cop’ sees rise in crime More and more, crooks targeting agriculture to find a quick buck

By Alana Semuels Los Angeles Times

IVANHOE, Calif. — It’s not even 11 a.m., and Jordan Whaley’s dashboard radio has been crackling all morning with crimes newly committed: crops pilfered, gas siphoned, copper wire stolen.

This latest call is one of the strangest so far. Thieves have taken 54 brass valves from the irrigation system on Ryan Hopper’s orange farm. They’ve also stolen scrap metal from his tool shed and siphoned hundreds of gallons of gas from a diesel tank on his field.

The crime infuriates Hopper, costing him time and money just before the orange harvest. But it’s just one more of the mysteries Whaley tackles on a daily basis.

“It’s never-ending,” said Whaley, 26, who is himself a farmer.

He’s also a detective in the Tulare County Sheriff’s Department agricultural crimes unit, tasked with catching the people who steal crops, tractors, chemicals and other farm equipment, and then turning the suspects over to the district attorney’s office.

Think of him as the law in “Law & Order,” farm edition.

Four years of a soft economy have led to a rise in agricultural crime throughout the country. In Ohio, thieves are taking tractor batteries. Texas and Oklahoma authorities say bandits are stealing more cattle. And in Ivanhoe, a small farm town of 4,000 near Visalia, they’re taking farm equipment.

American farmers and ranchers have been fending off thieves since the heyday of cattle rustling in the 19th century, but the duty of battling rural crime waves now falls to law enforcement. Tulare County sheriff’s deputies investigated 105 agricultural crimes in the three months ended Sept. 30, up from 77 in the same period in 2009.

25 million acres These crimes can deal a blow to California’s economy: The state’s oranges, melons, alfalfa and other crops are big business, generating $34 billion a year. But spread over 25 million acres, they are not easy to protect.

“Farmers aren’t like most businesses: Their property, produce and everything is out there in the open. They don’t have a way to secure it in four walls,” said Jody Cox, a detective sergeant in the Tulare County Sheriff’s Department agricultural crimes unit.

Whaley starts his day heading to Hopper’s farm, where neat rows of leafy orange trees stretch out toward the flat blue horizon.

He drives his white Ford pickup through a small cluster of onestory houses, past orange and nut

Farmer Ryan Hopper, right, kneels in the dirt to draw detective Jordan Whaley a map of where he thinks the thieves that burglarized his orange grove might live.

“Farmers aren’t like most businesses: Their property, produce and everything is out there in the open. They don’t have a way to secure it in four walls.”

— Jody Cox, detective sergeant, Tulare County Sheriff’s Department trees, and pulls off the narrow road. A squad car is parked near a corrugated iron shed, where a deputy is interviewing the victim.

“I went to irrigate today and no water was coming out,” an agitated Hopper says. “I was just trying to get some work done.”

Hopper says he hasn’t had a problem with crime on his 130 acres since 2007, when thieves stole the filter system from his irrigation line. Now he’s hearing more about crops and equipment disappearing from neighboring farms.

After walking the irrigation line with Hopper, Whaley takes out a fingerprint kit to use on a broken toilet seat the thieves hauled out of the shed, then discarded in the yard. He dons black gloves and sprinkles powder over the seat as a cool breeze rustles the orchard.

He shakes his head. No prints.

It’s looking to be slim pickings on the evidence front, but then Whaley hears a shout from Hopper. The farmer has found a footprint in the mud near a diesel tank that the thieves siphoned dry.

Whaley walks quickly through rows of orange trees and kneels next to the footprint. He can make out the name Camel, a brand of work boot. It’s not much, but it’s something.

“The crooks are getting more sophisticated,” says Whaley, who suspects that thieves sometimes

change their tires to avoid being linked to the tracks they leave behind.

Whaley’s department is getting more sophisticated, too. In 2002, eight counties in the San Joaquin Valley linked their agricultural crime units to form ACTION, the Agricultural Crime Technology Information and Operations Network, to share information about stolen equipment, pilfered crops and suspects. It has since expanded to include 13 counties, stretching from Santa Barbara to San Joaquin.

Detectives have set up stings to buy stolen crops and farm equipment, and have had stakeouts outside the homes of suspected thieves. ACTION is even trying to get the Department of Homeland Security to chip in funds, contending that stolen pesticides and fertilizers could be used to make bombs.

Tech on the range These are farm cops with city gear: surveillance cameras, GPS tracking devices and night-vision goggles. But they look at home on the range, too.

On his belt, which is held up by a giant silver buckle, Whaley keeps a gun, radio and a shiny six-pointed sheriff’s badge.

In a case this summer, Whaley tied a string of petty thefts and burglaries to one suspect. When he pulled over the suspect’s car and searched it, he found a gun that had been stolen that very day in another crime. The suspect, who was on parole, was arrested that night.

In his four years in law enforcement, Whaley has seen a wide array of crime. In the last two months, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Department has recovered 10 tons of walnuts, bags of avocados, three cows, a golf cart, a forklift, two tractors, batteries, fuel tanks and a Kawasaki mule.

“Anything that’s harvested is being stolen,” Whaley said. “Any-

thing and everything.”

The economy is making the job more challenging, as budget cuts leave the Sheriff’s Department shorthanded. With an unemployment rate of nearly 17 percent, Tulare County is suffering. Foreclosure signs dot Visalia, and at a recycling depot on the outskirts of town, people line up to exchange cans for a bit of cash.

“There are a ton of people out of work,” said Cox, the squad detective sergeant. “There are those that may have been scraping by previously, but now they’re doing whatever they have to do to support themselves.”

Whaley says some of the thieves would steal in good times or bad. He suspects some are drug addicts trying to get enough cash to support their habit. Others, down on their luck and out of work, filch crops and sell them at the side of the road to make a few extra bucks.

“You can bet on a moonlit night someone’s going to be out in the walnuts,” said farmer Butch Gist, standing among flourishing pistachio trees on his farm, which has been in operation for 125 years.

Gist, who also grows walnuts, hires a private security firm for the peak of walnut season, because once the crop is stolen it’s difficult for detectives to get it back. Crops, unlike equipment or cattle, can’t be branded.

Whaley’s unit caught a break recently, when a farmworker called in to report two men and a woman stealing avocados off the trees of a local orchard.

The thieves fled when squad cars arrived, but they left their car behind. Whaley towed the car and, after getting a search warrant, found a cell phone inside. He ran some of the phone numbers found on the phone and was able to track down a suspect. Under questioning, the suspect gave up her co-conspirators. The case is winding its way through the legal system.

Investments Continued from B1 “The state didn’t want to make restrictions with no flexibility,” Sinks said. “The Legislature provided the process to help ensure (extending investments) was done in a reasonable and reasonably safe manner.”

Redmond is not alone in making such a change. For at least the past decade, Bend has been able to invest up to 35 percent of its portfolio for up to seven years.

Just because Bend has the flexibility does not mean the city uses it, said Sonia Andrews, Bend’s finance director.

“It’s common to go beyond 18 months, but not to have a seven-year investment,” Andrews said. “I don’t ever remember us investing anywhere in that timeline.”

By extending the possible length of investments, Redmond hopes to increase its returns, and the increased income could be significant for the city. Currently, it has about $24 million of investments, with much of that money coming from savings of systems development charges, contingency funds and transportation money.

On longer investments, the returns tend to be higher. With U.S. Treasury bonds, for instance, a one-year investment has a 0.3 percent return. A fiveyear investment has a 2.09 return, as of Thursday, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

The longer-term investments, though, carry risks with them, according to Redmond City Councilor Ed Boero, who has spent his career in investment services.

Bond interest rates are particularly low. If bond rates soar, and the city was tied up in long-

Tour Continued from B1 “Bend’s culture is related to the beer industry,” he said.

And since Wanderlust aims to explore Bend’s natural history and culture, a brewery tour was a natural fit, he said.

The Bend Brew Bus was a way to coordinate with the Bend Ale Trail, he said, a program put on by VisitBend.

“It’s been very successful for us,” Newkirk said. “We see a lot of locals on the tour.”

And the Ale Trail, with its map of the local breweries and passport that people can get stamped at each one, has been a success as well, said Doug LaPlaca with VisitBend “The success of the Bend Ale Trail in the first year has totally

term investments, Redmond could be in line to lose some money.

But there are safeguards in place, he said. The city can invest only a quarter of its money for longer than three years, and Neff, along with the city’s investment firm, Cutwater Asset Management, will keep a constant watch on the investment pool. One Cutwater employee will be in charge of keeping the city’s investment pool in line with its policy.

Boero said it was unlikely rates will swing wildly upward without the city knowing.

‘Smart thing to do’ “I think (the new policy) is a smart thing to do,” Boero said.

“It will require careful monitoring so we don’t get too much in long-maturity investments that could be caught should interest rates go up rapidly.”

Another concern, if the city invests in multiyear bonds, is the liquidity of Redmond’s money, Neff said. Redmond has much of the money pegged for various projects — from sewers to roads — and so will likely need the cash fairly soon.

The recession has also made it likely the city would need to dip into its savings. If the economy was booming, Redmond would be more likely to put some of its unreserved money into long-term bonds. However, in the current economy, Neff wants to keep the money closer at hand in case of an emergency.

For the immediate term, Redmond is unlikely to invest the full 25 percent it can in three- or five-year bonds, Neff said.

“I think we’d want to stay a little more liquid,” Neff said.

Ale Trail growing The Bend Ale Trail program is expanding as well, he said, with smart phone applications complete with maps and trivia due at the end of the month.

“So many of our tourism offerings are focused on outdoor recreation, so it’s important that we put some time and energy into non-outdoor activities,” he said.

O I B Man convicted of 11 sex crimes with teen PENDLETON — A Pendleton man has been convicted of 11 felony sex crimes for having sexual relations with a 13year-old girl for two months starting in late 2009.

The East Oregonian reports that the Umatilla County Court jury took just 30 minutes Friday to return the verdict against 20-year-old Ryan Cory Newsome.

Prosecutor said Newsome and the girl developed a friendship on the Internet.

They told police they were mutually attracted to each other. However, the girl was under the age of consent.

Newsome is to be sentenced Thursday. Under Oregon’s Measure 11, 10 of the counts carry a mandatory minimum prison sentence of six years, three months each.

Guardsmen get military’s highest honor New state hospital taking 1st patients The Associated Press

CORVALLIS — A group of about 30 Corvallis-area men has received the highest award a military unit can receive for its work during the Iraq war, the first time an Oregon National Guard unit has received the award in 60 years.

The Oregon National Guardsmen’s unit on Saturday received the Presidential Unit Citation for showing extraordinary heroism against an armed enemy in November 2004, the Corvallis Gazette-Times reported. A state Guard unit last received the honor during World War II. The award is about the size of a paperclip and worn below the

right breast pocket. The small blue ribbon signifies valor and gallantry against an armed enemy.

“Anyone in the Army will be able to immediately recognize the medal and understand these men came from an elite unit that exceeded high standards of the armed forces,” Oregon Attorney General John Kroger said.

The unit participated in the battle of Fallujah, some of the fiercest fighting of the Iraq War. The belief that Abu Musab alZarqawi, a Jordanian responsible for a series of bombings and attacks, was operating in Fallujah, led to the battle.

In the spring of 2004, the U.S.

turned the city over to the Iraqi Fallujah Brigade, but the group collapsed. U.S. forces surrounded the city and what followed was the bloodiest battle of the Iraq War. It ended with 51 Americans killed and 425 wounded. Iraqi forces lost eight troops, with 43 wounded.

The 2nd Platoon of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 162nd Infantry Regiment of the 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team was stationed on the northern part of the city.

“It was go, go, go,” recalled Sgt. Ryan Howell, who witnessed the mayhem. “We were getting hit with direct fire.”

Ducks fan punished for burning jersey CORVALLIS — A University of Oregon fan who was caught on camera waving a flaming jersey after Ducks beat Oregon State in the “Civil War” game has pleaded guilty to reckless burning.

KVAL-TV said 20-year-old Joshua Britton, of Beaverton, on Thursday was ordered to pay $1,500 in restitution and $102 in fines.

The station said a Benton County Circuit Court judge also ordered him to serve seven days in jail.

State police said they received more than 50 tips based on photos and video after the man now identified as Britton held the burning jersey after Oregon won the Dec. 4 football game.

SALEM — The first group of patients is set to move today from cramped treatment wards in the decrepit Oregon State Hospital to a new state-of-theart replacement facility getting under way in central Salem.

After a six-week delay in patient occupancy of the new facility, OSH Superintendent Greg Roberts said he’s “very confident” about it getting off to a smooth and safe start.

“I think we’ve done a very thorough, extensive preparation process,” Roberts told the Statesman Journal this week.

“And I feel very confident that we’re ready to go (today).”

Patient occupancy of a 104bed section of the new hospital will mark another milestone in the state’s push to replace Oregon’s much-criticized main mental hospital, which was deemed obsolete and unsafe by state-hired consultants in 2005.

The entire 620-bed, $280 million replacement facility is scheduled to become operational by late this year. Patients are set to move into the facility in staggered fashion, as different sections of the new hospital get completed.

Patient transfers to the first section of the new hospital, dubbed “Harbors,” initially were planned for Nov. 29.

Roberts said the six-week delay provided crucial time to hire more employees for the new facility and resolve “a number of minor things we needed to adjust in the building.”

“The main issue was the staff-

ing,” he said. “We were still filling vacancies at that time, even in clinical positions. Those now have been filled.”

Newly hired employees also needed extra time to become familiar with patients and hospital procedures, Roberts said.

“If we had tried to move in at the end of November, we would have been moving in many staff who literally had just completed their new-employee orientation,” he said. “So we wanted them to be able to have more experience at the hospital, and to link them up and have them working with the patients that they are going to be working with in Harbors.”

Harbors has five units that will house patients now residing in three maximum-security wards in the hospital’s 127year-old J Building, as well as one medium-security ward in a 1950s-era building.

About 285 employees will work in Harbors.

Plans call for about 80 patients to occupy the new units during a three-step relocation process that starts today, continues Wednesday and finishes up the following week.

About 50 patients are slated to move in today.

“On move-in day, we’re not stressing programming,” he said. “It’s almost like move-in day for freshmen in college. After that, I think they have some fun, leisure activities set up in the treatment mall area.”

Evening hours today are earmarked for patients to watch the BCS national championship football game, pitting Oregon against Auburn.

Saving energy is simple and cheap, experts say

By Ted Sickinger The Oregonian

PORTLAND — If buildings are living organisms, as energyefficiency gurus like to say, then the Portland Opera’s three-floor headquarters and rehearsal space in southwest Portland is bipolar, vacillating between frenetic activity and somnolence.

In either state, its respiratory system wheezes along, inhaling outside air; heating, cooling and filtering it; pushing it through the ductwork; then exhaling the exhaust.

On a recent Friday morning, the company is at rest. Its cavernous rehearsal spaces are comfortably heated but empty except for conductor Robert Ainsley, who sits at a piano running through the score for an upcoming production.

In the costume shop, a single stitcher is making alterations, her radio turned up to carry over the hiss of a ventilation system in the floor. The box office and third-floor office space quietly hum as the sales and development staff brings in the dollars that make the opera sing. But on the entire second floor, leased to city of Portland engineers managing the Big Pipe sewer project, only two workers are pounding their keyboards under a fluorescent blaze.

“We try to get them to turn out their lights when they’re not here,” said Chuck Ely, the opera’s facility manager, “but they’re not real good about that.”

And that, in a nutshell, is the ongoing problem — and opportunity — of energy efficiency.

Unlocking efficiency Almost 70 percent of U.S. energy consumption takes place in buildings or homes, and by some estimates, about 50 percent of that energy is wasted. Even after years of subsidies and earnest awareness campaigns, that waste represents a vast opportunity if it can be unlocked. The

technology is there. Upgrading building systems to save energy often costs a fraction of what it takes to generate the equivalent number of kilowatts from a new fossil-fuel power plant. Indeed, experts say many of the lowercost measures pay for themselves in months.

Conservation also reduces greenhouse gases and pollution. It creates well-paid jobs in the trades. And it improves cash flow for business and building owners.

The opportunities are virtually everywhere — even in buildings already doing the right things.

“We can walk into a building where they’ve spent hundreds of thousands on energy retrofitting and be confident we’ll find a 10 percent energy savings,” said James Crowder, chief executive of AirAdvice, a small outfit in Portland that deploys sensors to monitor and analyze commercial buildings’ performance. “It’s almost a given. Typically, it’s between 10 and 30 percent.”

Oregon is the third-most energy-efficient state, according to an October report by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, a Washington, D.C., think tank.

Officials with the Energy Trust of Oregon, a nonprofit that subsidizes efficiency measures, claim it is capturing all cost-effective energy savings. They say the efficiency measures the ETO has helped fund through surcharges on utility bills will save consumers more than $1 billion over time, after deducting the cost. The energy savings will offset the need for at least one new power plant and curb 2.5 million tons of carbon emissions — the equivalent of taking 430,000 cars off the road.

Yet the ETO’s figures show that only 18 percent of customers follow up and implement efficiency measures recommended after completing energy studies or audits of their homes and buildings. Penetration is highest

for commercial office buildings, but it’s still less than one-third overall. That squares with efficiency contractors and property managers, who say only a fraction of customers follow through on audits.

1/21/11

Cheap power in region Part of the issue is the fact that energy is still relatively cheap in the Northwest. Building and business owners, even those inundated with offers, don’t see the advantage of tying up capital and staff when they can concentrate on their core product. Depending on lease arrangements in a given building, the costs and benefits of energy-efficiency projects also may flow to different parties.

That complicates things, as does the fact that many building have multiple owners, each with their own return requirements.

Then there’s the economy.

The Energy Trust increased its incentives by 25 percent to entice building owners after seeing scores of projects canceled or delayed last year.

“We have a lot of owners where vacancies are up, rents are down, and now’s not the time to do it,” said Dave Hamilton, executive vice president of property management for Norris & Stevens, which manages 7.5 million square feet of commercial space in the Portland area.

Those who follow through go for the low-hanging fruit, the low-cost or no-cost measures that offer an immediate payback — while frequently putting off deeper retrofits that fundamentally change a building’s performance and are likely to have a more dramatic financial impact over the long term.

“It all comes down to return on investment,” said Susan Steward, executive director of the Building Owners and Managers Association of Portland. “When it comes to the big-ticket items, what I continually hear from members is that ‘it doesn’t pencil.’”

A voting change Bend could use

O

utgoing Bend City Council member Oran Teater has again asked his colleagues to consider a change, one they rejected five years ago. Teater wants Bend residents to se-

lect a mayor by ballot, rather than having council members themselves fill the spot from among their ranks. Such a change wasn’t necessary five years ago, and it isn’t necessary now. But as long as the possibility of change is in the air, we’d like to suggest one of our own. The city should scrap its zone elections and go back to the winner-take-all system that was in place until the fall of 2004.

First, Teater’s idea: Bend’s mayor holds no special power beyond running council meetings. He or she shows up at ceremonial events as the city’s official representative, but that’s about it. Electing someone to that august spot might make sense if the mayor actually wielded power not granted other councilors — if he could appoint citizens to committees on his own, for example. But that simply isn’t the case, and having councilors choose one of their own seems to work well. In other words, Teater fails to make a good case for change, and unless that case can be made, there’s no reason for it.

On the other hand, a good case can be made for going back to the so-called “beauty contest” elections that were held before the fall of 2004.

Until then, those interested in serving on the council ran against all others

who also were interested. If a pair of seats were to be filled, voters could choose from all those whose names were on the ballot, with the top two vote-getters taking the jobs. The result was, arguably, better representation for everyone in Bend. Seldom did incumbents run unopposed, for one thing. Since the change, about half of incumbents running have done so without opposition.

Since the advent of the position system, meanwhile, we’ve seen good candidates run against one another for one seat while less qualified candidates square off for another. Voters being the bright folks they are, it seems likely that had all run in a single contest the less qualified might have won no positions. It’s hard to argue that such an outcome somehow would hurt the city.

Plan’s savings are not credible F

ew people expect Congress to undo the health care reforms approved in the last session. That said, there’s more than enough room for change, just as there’s more than enough room for skepticism about the measure as it now stands.

First, repeal. With a Republican House of Representatives squared off against a Democratic Senate and president, repeal is a gesture designed to make the former feel good and little else. No matter how lopsided the vote in the House, repeal just isn’t going to happen.

There is plenty of room for change, however, and for a realistic look at what health care reform is likely to cost. Washington Democrats currently are touting the notion that repeal will add scores of billions to the federal deficit over the next few years, though a closer look at the matter throws that into question.

Current Congressional Budget Office projections showing that repeal would raise the deficit depend in large part on a couple of things.

One is a series of tax increases that will pump money into the subsidies the government soon will be handing

out to those who cannot afford health insurance on their own. The other is a series of steep cuts in the Medicare program that are vital to keeping cost projections in line.

If history is any indication, those cuts almost surely won’t amount to much, if anything. Since 2002, Congress has rescinded a host of cuts to Medicare providers, including the delay of a 25 percent reduction at the end of last year.

The CBO itself recognizes the tenuousness of savings from that source.

In a letter to then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi late last year, CBO said “longer-term calculations reflect an assumption that provisions … are enacted and remain unchanged through the next two decades, which is often not the case for major legislation. For example, the sustainable growth rate mechanism governing Medicare’s payments to physicians has frequently been modified … to avoid reductions to those payments …”

We do believe there is room for health care reform. We also believe that those who expect great deficit reductions as a result of the law as now written are deluding themselves.

On driving: sexism in reverse WASHINGTON — ’m watching a TV commercial on YouTube. Three men from Johannesburg are in a car. The driver declares himself “The King of Reverse,” and boasts that he could drive to Cape Town, entirely in “R.” A $50 wager is made, and they set off. Head over his shoulder, the King drives backward at breakneck speed. Hours pass. Day turns into night, then day again. The passengers heckle, kibitz, sleep, feed the driver a sandwich, etc. Finally, triumphantly, the bleary-eyed, bestubbled trio makes it to Cape Town, where, amid their wild cheering, the car plummets backward off an overpass and they all, presumably, die.

It turns out this is a commercial for a South African company that, in an odd wrinkle on apartheid, offers car insurance only to women. The video was forwarded to me gleefully by my friend Gina Barreca, the feminist scholar. Gina, please tell the people what you contend this commercial proves.

Gina: That women are better drivers than men.

Gene: Safer, maybe. Not better. If anything, it establishes — and I derive no joy from saying this — that men remain the visionaries. The doers. The darers. Men don’t just admire Everest, they climb it. Do you know my first reaction to this commercial?

Gina: Yes. I do.

Gene: You do?

Gina: Yes, because I know my brother’s first reaction to it. He said, “I won-

I

GENE WEINGARTEN der if I could make it to Montreal.”

Gene: Well, he lives in New York.

Being from D.C., I was thinking Philadelphia.

Gina: This is exactly why women are better drivers.

Gene: You mean, like your mother?

Gina: You leave my mother out of this!

Gene: I wish I could, but it is information you have shared, and it is germane to this conversation, which you initiated.

Gina: Gene: Are you going to tell the people about her, or shall I? Gina: My mother drove all her life without making left turns. She was uncomfortable insinuating herself into potential oncoming traffic. To make a left turn, she’d make three right turns.

Gene: Gina: This was not bad driving. This was cautious and pragmatic driving — accommodating her insecurities without inconveniencing others. Very womanly. I, for example, am a skillful driver even though I never back up.

Gene: Excuse me?

Gina: I never drive in reverse. I do not know how. My husband built a spur into our driveway, so that after

I leave the garage, I can turn the car around and drive out forward. Stop smirking.

Gene: We are talking on the phone.

Gina: I can feel the smirk. You are too invested in the patriarchal status quo. If women ran the world, driving backward wouldn’t be necessary, even to park. You could nose into any space because all spaces, by federal law, would be humongous.

Gene: This column is over. You are roadkill.

Gina: I am not. We haven’t discussed the Darwin Awards. You know them?

Gene: Yes. They are given posthumously to people who have mercifully taken themselves out of the gene pool in spectacularly idiotic ways. You are going to observe that most of the Darwin laureates are men.

Gina: Yes, like the guy who got crushed by a vending machine he was rocking to shake loose a free Coke. Or the one who responded to an escalating series of drunken macho dares by picking up a chain saw, saying, “Watch this!” and cutting off his own head. My point is that the men die ugly.

Gene: And the women?

Gina: One of the most recent ones fell off a cliff while reaching out to grab a beautiful feather.

Gene: That’s pretty …

Gina: Exactly.

Gene: … stupid.

Buckle up for another round of health care fighting T DAVID

he health care reform law was signed 10 months ago, and what’s striking now is how vulnerable it looks. Several threats have emerged — some of them scarcely discussed before passage — that together or alone could seriously endanger the new system.

These include: • The courts. So far, one judge has struck down the individual mandate, the plan’s centerpiece. Future decisions are likely to break down on partisan lines. Given the makeup of the Supreme Court, this should concern the law’s defenders.

• False projections. The new system is based on a series of expert projections on how people will behave. In the first test case, these projections were absurdly off base. According to the Medicare actuary, 375,000 people should have already signed up for the new high-risk pools for the uninsured, but only 8,000 have.

More seriously, cost projections are way off. For example, New Hampshire’s plan has only about 80 members, but the state has already burned through nearly double the $650,000 that the federal government allotted to help run the pro-

gram. If other projections are off by this much, the results will be disastrous.

• Employee dumping. This is the most serious threat. Companies and unions across America are running the numbers and discovering they would be better off if, after 2014, they induced poorer and sicker employees to move to public insurance exchanges, where subsidies are much higher.

The number of people in those exchanges could thus skyrocket, especially as startup companies undermine their competitors with uninsured employees and lower costs. The Congressional Budget Office projects that 19 million people will move to the exchanges at a cost of $450 billion between 2014 and 2019. But according to the economists Douglas Holtz-Eakin and James Capretta, costs could soar to $1.4 trillion if those who would be better off in the exchanges actually moved to them. The price of the health care law could double. C. Eugene Steuerle of the Urban Institute, who has been among those raising the alarms about this, calls the law’s structure “unworkable and unfair.”

• Health care oligarchy. Since the

BROOKS

law passed, there has been a frenzy of mergers and acquisitions, as hospitals, clinics and doctor groups have joined together into bigger and bigger entities.

The drafters encourage this, believing large outfits would be more efficient.

The downside to this economic concentration is there could be less competition and cost control. In many places, the political power of these quasi-monopolies would be huge, with unforeseeable results. The law bans doctors from starting up hospitals to increase competition.

• Public hostility. Right now about 53 percent of Americans oppose the health care law and 43 percent support it, according to an average of the recent polls.

Complaints are especially high among doctors. According to a survey by the Physicians Foundation, 60 percent of pri-

vate practice doctors say the law will force them to close their practices or to restrict them to certain categories of patients.

Given this level of unhappiness, people will blame the Obama law for everything they hate about the health care system.

Political opposition was fierce in November, and it could easily shape the 2012 election and lead to changes or repeal.

Overall, there is a strong likelihood that the current health care law will face an existential threat over the next five years. Each party should be preparing contingency plans.

When the crisis comes, Democrats will face an interesting choice — to patch the Obama system or try to replace it with something bigger. The administration may want a patch, but by a ratio of nearly 2-1, according to a CNN poll, Democratic voters would prefer a more ambitious law. Liberals could logically say that the mistake was trying to create a hybrid system, rather than moving straight to a single-payer one.

Republicans are going to have to move beyond their current “Repeal!” posture and cohere behind a positive alternative. One approach, which Ty-

ler Cowen of George Mason University has written about, is to allow more state experimentation. Another approach, championed by Capretta, Yuval Levin of National Affairs and Thomas Miller of the American Enterprise Institute, revolves around the words “defined contribution.”

Under this approach, Republicans would say that the federal government has a role in subsidizing health insurance — a generous role, but not unlimited. The government would provide needy citizens with a predefined amount of money to spend on insurance and allow them to shop in a transparent, regulated, but not micromanaged marketplace.

After the trauma of the last two years, many people wish the issue would go away. But it’s not going away, especially since costs will continue to rise.

Some Congresses achieve health care; members of this Congress or the next one will have health care thrust upon them.

O Hideko Takamine, leading Japanese film actress, 86

By Dave Kehr

Jiri Dienstbier, former foreign minister of Czechoslovakia, dies

New York Times News Service

By Karel Janicek

Hideko Takamine, a Japanese actress who over the course of nearly 200 films developed from an endearing child star into a powerful representative of the Japanese woman’s search for identity and autonomy in the years after World War II, died Dec. 28 in Tokyo. She was 86.

The cause was lung cancer, a spokesman said.

Takamine, who often seemed to be gallantly fighting back tears with her famously gentle smile, was widely regarded by Japanese and foreign critics as one of the three great actresses of the classical Japanese cinema. Her two peers were the aristocratic Kinuyo Tanaka, who worked extensively with the director Kenji Mizoguchi (“Sansho the Bailiff”) and died in 1977, and Setsuko Hara, whose portrayals of modern middle-class women were associated with the films of Yasujiro Ozu (“Tokyo Story”).

The Associated Press

PRAGUE — Jiri Dienstbier, the reporter turned dissident who joined Vaclav Havel to help topple one of East Europe’s most repressive regimes — and then served under Havel in Czechoslovakia’s first post-communist government — died Saturday.

He was 73.

News of his death was announced by Czech public television and his assistant, who said Dienstbier died in a Prague hospital. A cause of death was not specified.

“A friend of mine for many years has died,” Havel said in a poignant farewell statement.

“We experienced so much together.”

Dienstbier secured his place in history for his prominent role in the dissident movement led

by Havel that agitated for observance of human rights during the dying years of communist power in Eastern Europe.

Naruse’s muse Takamine was most notably the muse of Mikio Naruse, who, although not as well known in the west as Mizoguchi and Ozu, is frequently ranked as equally important in Japanese film history. For Naruse, Takamine often played women from rural or lower-middle-class backgrounds who were forced to make their own way in the world, often saddled with weak or unfaithful men.

Among her best-known work with Naruse was “Floating Clouds” (1955), in which she played a secretary in love with her married boss, sticking with him from a wartime post in Indochina to contemporary Tokyo despite his coldness, and “When a Woman Ascends the Stairs” (1960), in which she played a widow working as a bar hostess in Tokyo’s Ginza district.

A different, less tragic side of Takamine’s personality emerged in the many movies she made with the popular filmmaker Keisuke Kinoshita. In “Carmen Comes Home” (1951), the first Japanese feature to be filmed in color, she was an exotic dancer who returns from Tokyo to her native village, bringing a whiff of modern attitudes with her; in “Twenty-Four Eyes” (1954) she was a female Chips, a schoolteacher who guides her charges from the rise of militarism in the 1930s through the aftermath of war.

Born on March 27, 1924, in Hakodate, on the southern tip of the northern island of Hokkaido, Takamine entered films at age 5, appearing in “Haha” (“Mother”) for the director Hotei Nomura.

Like much prewar Japanese cinema, that film now appears to be

Hideko Takamine in Mikio Naruse’s 1960 film “When a Woman Ascends the Stairs.” Takamine, who was regarded by critics as one of the three great actresses of the classical Japanese cinema, died Dec. 28 in Tokyo. She was 86. She began her 50-year career as a child star, and went on to star in more than 200 films. lost. A rare surviving example of her work as a child star is Ozu’s 1931 “Tokyo Chorus.” She was reunited with him for “The Munekata Sisters” in 1950.

Takamine spent much of the 1930s skipping and singing her way through a series of light comedies and musicals as a sort of Japanese Shirley Temple. She successfully made the transition to young-adult roles as the country moved closer to war, notably in the 1941 film “Uma” (“Horse”), in which she was a farm girl forced to give up the beloved animal she had raised from a colt. During the war, she

Malangatana Ngwenya, Mozambican painter, 74 New York Times News Service Malangatana Ngwenya, one of Africa’s best-known contemporary artists, whose phantasmagoric paintings were inspired by political conditions in his home country, Mozambique, died Wednesday in Matosinhos, Portugal. He was 74.

The Pedro Hispano Hospital said he had been admitted on Christmas Day after he became ill while visiting his daughter, but it did not give a cause of death.

Ngwenya, a beloved national hero in Mozambique, was one of the few African artists to gain substantial worldwide recognition while staying in Africa — an international profile that was enhanced by an expansive personality. He had cosmopolitan tastes; his knowledge of global art was wide; and he was a born performer who composed music, sang songs in five languages and periodically broke into spontaneous dancing.

Even after he took up art full time in 1981 and his fame grew, he remained a highly visible political and civic presence.

He was a founding member of the Mozambique Peace Move-

ment and served as a representative to Parliament from 1990 to 1994. He was instrumental in establishing the National Museum of Art of Mozambique in Maputo, the capital, and undertook several large public mural projects. He established cultural programs in his home village, and taught art to children in his home. In 1997, he was named a UNESCO Artist for Peace. Born in Matalana, a village in southern Mozambique, on June 6, 1936, Ngwenya attended Swiss Protestant and Roman Catholic missionary schools as a child but did not stay long. He worked on his mother’s farm and studied traditional healing under the tutelage of two uncles.

He appeared in important surveys in the United States, including “Africa Explores: 20th Century African Art” at the Museum for African Art in 1991 and “The Short Century: Independence and Liberation Movements in Africa, 1945-1994,” which traveled the country in 2001 and 2002. In New York, he was represented by the Contemporary African Art Gallery, where he last showed in 2002.

became a popular pinup girl for Japanese troops and performed in nightclubs.

Breaking tradition Under the United States occupation, Takamine flourished in the sort of roles — modern, liberated women — encouraged by the American authorities as a break with imperial traditions. Her 1949 film “The Cancan Dancer of the Ginza” generated a hit single, on which Takamine was backed by an American-style swing band.

In 1950, Takamine became one of the first Japanese stars to re-

nounce a studio contract and go freelance; soon, guiding her own career, she found her way to her mature collaborations with Naruse and Kinoshita. She was at the height of her popularity in 1955 when she married the screenwriter Zenzo Matsuyama, and again defied convention by continuing to work as an actress rather than withdraw into domestic life.

She retired from the screen 50 years after she began, after appearing in one last film for Kinoshita, “My Son! My Son!,” in 1979. In her later years, she published an autobiography, “My Professional Diary” (1976).

But before that, he was an eminent radio journalist in Czechoslovakia, the predecessor state to the present-day nations the Czech Republic and Slovakia — and afterward, under Havel as president, he played key government roles of foreign minister and one of the country’s deputy prime ministers.

Photos of him and his German counterpart, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, symbolically cutting the barbed wire that separated Czechoslovakia and Germany during the Cold War, went around the world.

“Jiri Dienstbier played an important role in the history of Czech modern journalism, politics and opposition movements,” said Havel.

Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg called his death “a great loss” and also touched on his different roles as “an excellent journalist and foreign minister.” Dienstbier, who was a senator in the Czech upper house of parliament, joined Schwarzenberg to visit Czech troops in Afghanistan in November.

Born on April 20, 1937, Dienstbier became a member of the Communist Party in 1958 and worked as a foreign correspondent for Czechoslovak radio in several countries, including the United States, western Europe and Asia.

After the Soviet invasion crushed the liberal reforms of Alexander Dubcek in Czechoslovakia in 1968 and ended an era known as the Prague Spring, Dienstbier was fired from the party as a supporter of the liberalization efforts. He did

Dick King-Smith, whose book was source for film ‘Babe,’ 88

By Dennis McLellan Los Angeles Times

Dick King-Smith, an internationally popular British children’s author whose bestknown book, the amusing and inspiring story of a sheep-herding pig who talks, was turned into the hit 1995 movie “Babe,” has died. He was 88.

King-Smith died in his sleep Tuesday morning at his home near Bath, England, after experiencing poor health in recent years, his publisher, Random House Children’s Books, said in a statement.

A failed farmer who became a teacher, King-Smith was in his late 50s when his first children’s book, “The Fox Busters” — the tale of henhouse chickens who scheme to drive away invading foxes — was published in 1978.

Since then, he had written more than 100 books — many of them what he called “farmyard fantasies” — that have reportedly sold more than 15 million copies worldwide.

But his most famous book was his sixth, “The SheepPig,” published in England in 1983 and retitled “Babe: The Gallant Pig” when it was published in the United States in 1985. The book won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize in 1984, with one judge declaring it “perfect.”

It’s the story of a piglet who is won at a fair by a sheep farmer and adopted by the farm’s mother sheepdog, Fly. Trained to herd sheep by Fly, the polite Babe puts his own spin on getting sheep to obey.

“If I might ask a great favor of you, could you all please be kind enough to walk down to that gate where the farmer is standing, and to go through it?

Take your time, please, there’s absolutely no rush.”

The author, who tapped his years of working with farm animals for his writing, had an affinity for pigs — despite a fondness for eating bacon.

“It’s something I may have to

see my psychiatrist about but, yes, I have a real soft spot for pigs,” he told the Daily Telegraph of Sydney, Australia, in 1996.

“I like pigs as friends and for their intelligence. I have always admired them.”

King-Smith, who sold the movie rights to “The SheepPig” to Australian writer-producer George Miller shortly after it was published, was a fan of the Chris Noonan-directed movie.

“Obviously, I was nervous and a bit worried in case the adaptation messed up the original story in any way,” he said in the Daily Telegraph interview.

“But I knew within minutes of taking my seat in the cinema I would not be disappointed.

They did a truly marvelous job.

I was delighted.”

The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best picture, and won an Oscar for best visual effects.

He was 73. a series of menial jobs, including stoking a boiler at a central heating plant serving residential buildings.

As one of the first signs of pressure for reform in the late 1970s, he was among the first to sign the Charter 77 human rights manifesto inspired by the dissident playwright, Havel.

Unbending spirit At the forefront of confrontation with the authorities, the mustached, tousle-haired dissident with a penchant for a good yarn over a drink was twice the Charter’s spokesman — and was imprisoned from 1979 to 1982.

Havel, who spent time in prison with him, remembered Dienstbier for his unbending spirit.

“Even in the toughest moments, his good humor was a great encouragement for us all the time,” said Havel.

Dienstbier was among 50 World Press Freedom Heroes honored by the International Press Institute at its World Congress in Boston in 2000.

From 1998 to 2001, he served as special rapporteur for the U.N. Human Rights Commission in former Yugoslavia.

As a visiting professor of foreign relations and politics, he lectured at a number of universities worldwide, including Claremont Graduate School in California, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Brown University (Rhode Island) and Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Dienstbier returned to Czech politics in 2008, when he became a lawmaker in the Czech Senate as an independent candidate with support of the leftist Social Democrats. His term was to expire in 2014.

Talking tech and building an empire on podcasts

By Jon Kalish New York Times News Service

Balancing on a giant rubber ball in a broadcast studio and control room carved out of a cottage in Petaluma, Calif., Leo Laporte is an unlikely media mogul.

From that little town in California wine country, he runs his empire, a podcasting network, TWIT. For 30 hours each week, he and the other hosts on his network talk about technology — topics like the best e-book reader or how to get rid of a computer virus — for shows that he gives away online.

Nerdy, yes. Silly, no. TWIT gets its name from Laporte’s flagship podcast, “This Week in Tech,” which is downloaded by a quarter of a million people each week. He produces 22 other technology-focused podcasts that are downloaded 5 million times a month. He also streams video all day long that captures his podcasting and a weekend radio show on computers, “The Tech Guy,” that reaches 500,000 more people through 140 stations.

“I don’t want to be just a carbon copy of existing media,” said Laporte, who at 54 is just old enough to remember using carbon paper in typewriters to make duplicates.

Advertisers, especially technology companies, appreciate Laporte’s reach. Mark McCrery, chief executive of Podtrac, which is based in Washington, and measures podcast audiences and sells advertising, said TWIT’s advertising revenue doubled in each of the last two years and was expected to total $4 million to $5 million for 2010.

Starting at $40 per thousand listeners, TWIT’s ad rates are among the highest in American podcasting and are considerably higher than commercial broadcasting rates, which are typically $5 to $15 per thousand listeners.

ix months after Or-

egon kicked off the nation’s first state-

wide program to recycle paint, it’s been working well for Deschutes County, said Timm Schimke, county solid waste department director.

While people previously could drop off paint to be recycled at Knott Landfill in Bend and at three or four retail stores, now there are 10 locations in Central Oregon where people can drop off their unwanted cans of paint, he said.

“It’s a much higher level of service for the citizens out there,” Schimke said.

“That’s always a good thing.”

The PaintCare program started in Oregon in July, after the Legislature decided there should be a program to collect and recycle paint.

The American Coating Association had been looking at developing a program for several years, said Rick Volpel, Oregon program coordinator with PaintCare, in part because the industry forecast that more and more places would start requiring it.

“A lot of communities have started putting pressure on manufacturers to start collecting their leftover products or used products,” he said.

were set up statewide, where people can drop off leftover paint.

PaintCare picks up the paint and takes the collected containers to a facility, where contractors sort out empty cans and leaky containers, and determine what can be recycled, Volpel said.

GREEN

Where the paint goes Cans of leftover paint sit in a bin at Bend’s Standard Paint and Abbey Carpet. As part of the PaintCare program, the cans will be picked up and recycled, either as new paint or as an ingredient in concrete.

So the industry created the nonprofit PaintCare to administer the program, which is overseen by the DEQ and funded through a fee added to the cost of paints and stains.

The fee added to the products is

set at 35 cents for containers larger than a half pint and smaller than a gallon, 75 cents for gallon containers and $1.60 for containers larger than a gallon.

More than 70 collection sites

About half of the recyclable paint is sent to Metro, a regional government for Portland’s metropolitan area, which takes similar colors and blends them, creating a new line of paint called MetroPaint. The paint is sold in Oregon and Washington, although Metro’s website does not list any Central Oregon locations where it’s available.

Scientists eye effects of energy projects on ocean migration

By Les Blumenthal McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Without maps or GPS, great white sharks travel thousand of miles round-trip from California to Hawaii or Australia to South Africa. Sea turtles hatched on the beaches of Florida travel the currents of the North Atlantic Gyre to Europe, Africa and South America before heading home.

And in one of the most mysterious and epic journeys of all, salmon from the streams and rivers of the Pacific Northwest head to sea and swim into the far reaches of the North Pacific before returning to spawn.

Scientists increasingly believe these marine creatures and others use the earth’s magnetic fields to navigate vast distances.

But as the search for green energy turns to the oceans, there are concerns that tidal and wave-powered generators, and the cables that bring their electricity to shore, could interfere with the internal compasses of sea creatures.

The fear isn’t that the fish and other marine life will get chewed up in revolving turbine blades or other machinery. It’s that the generators and the cables to the shore produce electromagnetic fields that could interfere with their natural guidance systems. In addition, there are some worries the machines may produce a low-level hum that could interfere with such marine mammals as whales.

“Before we put these power-generating devices in the water, we need to know how they will affect the marine environment,” said Andrea Copping an oceanographer with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Marine Sciences Lab in Sequim, Wash.

Though the Europeans are far ahead, Copping said widespread commercial development of generating stations using tidal and wave power may be 10 years off in the United States.

Even so, projects have begun, and the Northwest has become a center for their development.

The Snohomish Public Utility District has received a $10 million grant from the federal Energy Department to install two tidal turbines in Admiralty Inlet west of Whidbey Island in Puget Sound.

The current through Admiralty Inlet can flow at up to 8 knots, or 9 miles per hour.

Mom is pressured to cut off any contact with ‘grandson’

FX takes shot at the title with ‘Lights’

By David Wiegand

Holt McCallany stars as former heavyweight boxing champ Patrick “Lights” Leary in the FX original series “Lights Out,” premiering Tuesday.

San Francisco Chronicle

Dear Abby: My son, “Jarod,” was in a relationship with “Gayle,” who has a small son, “Danny.”

My husband and I took Danny into our hearts as our grandson.

Danny formed a bond with Jarod’s other two children and they consider him a brother. Although Jarod’s relationship with Gayle didn’t last, we continue to maintain close ties with Danny.

Jarod’s new girlfriend, “Liz,” also has a small son. Liz has asked me to end my relationship with Danny because she considers it a “threat” to her and her son.

I feel Liz is asking too much.

How can I just stop loving Danny?

Why is she asking me to do this?

When I asked Liz if she were to break up with Jarod, would that mean I could never again speak to her son, she said, “Yes”!

I don’t think relationships should be disposable, but I can see that refusing Liz’s request will cause a rift. She refuses to visit our home as long as we continue to treat Danny as our grandson.

I need your advice because my heart is breaking.

— Emotionally Invested in Calif.

Dear Emotionally Invested: What Liz is saying is not a “request,” it’s blackmail. It appears your son is involved with an insecure and manipulative woman who does not grasp that there is room in your heart for Jarod’s children, Danny and her son, too.

I sincerely hope you won’t give in, and that you will talk to your son and explain to him that you would like to accept Liz and her son, but if she persists in the stance she’s taking, you will miss her. You have described someone who has a lot of growing up to do, and I hope your son recognizes it before he makes a mistake he may regret.

Dear Abby: My neighbor’s children were walking home from school last month when I saw that they had dropped some papers. When I returned them to the kids, I noticed they were behind

DEAR ABBY on their school lunch bill. The oldest child mentioned, “I hope Mom can pay or we’ll have to eat cheese sandwiches.” I was beyond angry! Their father is doing his second tour in Afghanistan, and their mother is doing her best to make ends meet.

I took my fury to the school and discovered the kids didn’t qualify for free lunches because their parents were just a couple of dollars over the limit. What a disgraceful way to treat the family of a soldier! I had money set aside for Christmas and decided to pay for those children’s lunches for the rest of the year. It wasn’t cheap — $2 per lunch for three kids — but it was worth it.

Abby, please let your readers know that if anyone can afford even a few dollars, to inquire at their local school if there is a soldier’s child — or any child — who needs a free lunch. Our soldiers shouldn’t have to worry about their kids going hungry in school.

P.S. My neighbors do not know about my donation.

— Lending a Hand in the Midwest Dear Lending a Hand: You are an angel. One would think that children of active members of the military would get a better break, but if your letter is any indication, it appears that isn’t the case.

Readers, if you have a few dollars to spare, consider contacting your local school(s) and asking if they have a program to accommodate children from families whose income may be “just over the line.”

Privacy rules may prevent the identities of the children from being disclosed, but the money could be put into a fund for this purpose.

SAN FRANCISCO — Can boxing and life in the comfortable New Jersey suburbs coexist?

With its new dramatic series, “Lights Out,” premiering Tuesday, FX is hoping they can, just the way, say, mobster life and the comfortable Jersey suburbs worked for HBO a few years back.

Patrick “Lights” Leary (Holt McCallany) is a former heavyweight boxing champ who is five years away from his last bout, trying to raise three daughters while his wife, Theresa (Catherine McCormack), is pursuing a medical residency at a local New Jersey hospital.

On the surface, life couldn’t be better for the 40-year-old retired boxer, except that Lights is getting a little tired of playing Mr. Mom and is longing to return to the ring. He’s also broke, thanks in large part to his slimeball brother Johnny (Pablo Schneider), who’s supposedly managing not only Lights’ $12 million nest egg but also that of their father, Pops (Stacy Keach).

Yes, the show is set in New Jersey, and these days, if a show is set in Jersey, you automatically think either “The Sopranos,” “Jersey Shore” or “Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Fortunately, the writers of “Lights Out” have been influenced by “The Sopranos” more than the other two.

Lights’ complex moral structure isn’t too far removed from that of Tony Soprano.

On the one hand, he’s a devoted father and husband. On the other, he lies to Theresa about their financial problems. And even five episodes into the series, when she finally learns about how deep a hole they are in, Lights is still lying to her about how deeply he’s also becoming involved

The Associated Press

with oily mobster Hal Brennan (the extraordinary Bill Irwin in a recurring role). Of course, the more Lights tries to save himself, the more he becomes entwined with Brennan.

There are multiple subplots in “Lights Out,” including Pops’ attempt to turn a cocky young middleweight into a champion.

Meanwhile, the guy who took Lights’ belt is looking for a rematch, and you can feel the show moving inevitably toward Lights’ return to the ring.

There’s also the little problem of pugilistic dementia, though.

Brain scans indicate some damage, but whether it will evolve into full dementia or not, and, if so, when that might happen, are all unknown at this point.

Again, it’s a secret that Lights is keeping from Theresa, although their daughter Daniela (Ryann Shane) has figured it out by tracing Lights’ search history on the computer.

the kids’ private school, but they keep the fight scenes feeling less than believable. A show at least partially about boxing doesn’t have to be “Raging Bull,” but you come away from scenes at the Learys’ gym wondering if you can get the number for their cleaning staff.

Second, the writers are trying hard to balance a character-driven family drama with actionpacked boxing world melodrama. To do that, producer-writer Warren Leight and his team keep throwing in plot twists, mostly speed bumps on Lights Leary’s moral turnpike. Some of these make it hard to believe that such an upstanding guy like Lights would also lie repeatedly to his wife and see getting involved with the mob as a viable way of getting back into the ring.

“Lights Out” may not reach “The Sopranos’” level, but it has enough going for it to at least earn a shot at the title.

“Lights Out” has a lot of good things going for it, not the least of which are great performances

by Keach, Schneider, McCallany and Reg. E. Cathey as the coldblooded fight promoter Barry Word. Irwin doesn’t have a lot of screen time, but whenever he’s on, he makes everyone else (with the exception of Keach) look like amateurs. His Hal Brennan is a smooth operator, and when a tight grin spreads across that tortoise-like face, it’s chilling. As he’s proved in all kinds of roles, including his amazing George in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” on stage, Irwin’s training as a clown belies the astounding breadth of his acting abilities.

But there are some problems that need to be overcome for the series to earn its audience for the long haul. First, the show’s sanitized look and languid pacing work when the focus is on the Learys’ suburban home and at

Melissa Rivers to mom: Enough plastic surgery!

PASADENA, Calif. — Melissa Rivers has a message for her mom: enough plastic surgery!

She says her 77-year-old mother’s surgical enhancements are a source of conflict.

Comic Joan Rivers said in a book she wrote two years ago that she’s had more than a dozen cosmetic surgeries.

Says Melissa Rivers: “It is a source of conflict, it really is. It bothers me.”

The two women were at a news conference Friday in Pasadena, Calif., to hype their upcoming WE network reality series.

Longoria’s Vegas club files for bankruptcy LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas nightclub owned by “Desperate Housewives” actress Eva Longoria has filed for bankruptcy, saying it owes nearly $5.7 million.

Lawyers for Beso LLC said in a federal Chapter 11 filing on Thursday that they project losing more than $76,000 per month at the CityCenter restaurant and nightspot. It is seeking bankruptcy in order to keep operating.

Beso owes nearly $1.8 million to CityCenter for its lease at the Crystals mall inside the resort complex that opened in December 2009, lawyers said in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court filing in Las Vegas.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 10, 2011: This year, you have a unique opportunity to grow and evolve in a new direction. Some of you might get stuck in old and comfortable ways. If this is the case, events could force your hand. Be willing to walk into unknown emotional turf.

If you are single, you could wake up to discover that you are in a compulsive relationship. Take time getting to know a suitor in order to avoid being locked into a situation.

If you are attached, the two of you will be adding yet another dimension to your relationship. Accept the fact that your significant other will have to jump through hoops as you morph. Be understanding.

ARIES can be an anchor.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You perk up midmorning.

Quite possibly, the daredevil characteristic associated with your sign emerges. Know that an unexpected piece of news could force you to regroup and rethink an issue. Tonight: On top of your game.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Note what is happening, and do some heavy thinking before you leap into action. Take your time, as the unexpected occurs when you least expect it. Stay even and direct in your dealings. Express your caring. Tonight: Make it early.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Success greets the Twin when least expected. Honor who

you are and willingly move a project in a new direction. A meeting points to the right path. Strong supporters emerge during this meeting.

Tonight: Only where people are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Manage a situation and be more clear about your expectations.

The choices you make probably should vary with each individual. If you can, slow down some; all the facts have not come out just yet.

Be spontaneous. Tonight: Are you burning the candle at both ends?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Don’t hesitate to bring in an expert, but don’t make a decision until more facts come forward. No one can make a sound decision if information is being left out. Let a close friend or loved one throw a tantrum. Only this person can change his or her behavior. Tonight: Choose a favorite mental pastime.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Work directly with partners.

You’ll see a dramatic change as a result, though there could be considerable browbeating and ego involvement from all parties until you find the right path. Tonight: Dinner with a favorite person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Deferring doesn’t necessarily label you as being unstable, but rather as knowing when to cut out. This technique also works well with those who absolutely know they are right. Let them see how right they are. Tonight: If a suggestion appeals to you, why not?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Dive into a project as if there is no tomorrow. You could have a

creative insight or opportunity that distracts you. You don’t want to say “no.” Be prepared to squeeze some extras into your week. You will be happier if you make space.

Tonight: Working late if need be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Let go of a need to be logical and efficient. When facing a hassle or initiating a new project, don’t hesitate to opt for a brainstorming session.

You also might not want to move on a new idea just yet.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be aware of the demands you put on yourself. You push yourself way too hard sometimes.

Curb a tendency right now to become defensive or easily hurt.

Insights come in from out of left field.

Be willing to transform and grow.

Tonight: Try to get home early.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Make calls and reach out for others. In a meeting, allow others to speak and express their ideas. Be willing to change an issue by transforming your perspective.

Tonight: Use care with your finances.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Stop, and before compromising, look at your assets and what you have to offer. Know that you offer much more than money or material security. Veer in an unusual direction because of sudden information. You are changing, and as a result, your friendships and goals will be too. Tonight: Time for a treat. © 2011 by King Features Syndicate

Oceans Continued from C1 The 400-ton tidal turbines resemble fans and will sit on platforms 200 feet deep. The turbines will generate enough electricity to supply 700 homes.

Several years ago, Tacoma Power explored placing tidal generators in the Tacoma Narrows in southern Puget Sound.

The Navy also has explored the possibility of placing generators in the Sound. Tacoma Power decided not to proceed with a pilot project, and the Navy project is on hold, Copping said.

Off the Oregon Coast, a company has a license to move forward with a commercial scale wave project, Copping said. The waves along the coast of Washington state and Oregon are considered among the best energyproducing waves in the world as they roll in from the deep Pacific.

The Northwest Power Planning Council has estimated that wave-powered generators off the coasts of Washington State, Oregon and Northern California eventually could produce 50,000 megawatts of electricity, roughly the output of 50 nuclear power plants.

In addition to the Northwest, possible sites are being studied off Hawaii, in Alaska’s Cook Inlet and off Florida and Maine.

There is a study under way on installing hydrokinetic turbines in the Mississippi River near Baton Rouge, she said.

Along the shores of Puget Sound, Copping and her colleagues at the Marine Sciences Laboratory are trying to determine exactly what effect electromagnetic fields may have on

Paint Continued from C1 “It’s been really popular,” Volpel said. “It’s a lot cheaper ... but (also) there’s some people that are really committed to buying recycled paint.”

The rest of the paint is sent to a California company that uses it as a concrete ingredient, he said, adding that PaintCare is searching for other companies to recycle paint as well.

In the first three months of the program, more than 115,000 gallons of paint were collected statewide and recycled — about 4.3 percent of the amount sold during that period.

According to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s website, the program expects to collect up to 800,000 gallons of leftover paint a year for recycling. The state agency will complete an annual report this summer on the paint program’s progress, said Abby Boudouris, household waste coordinator with the DEQ. It’s too early to tell how successful the program has been at recycling paint, she said, noting some collection sites were only established this fall. But getting those collection depots up and running was a big step, Boudouris said.

“It’s coming so fast, regulators are asking questions we don’t have answers to.

It would be nice to have some baseline research before we move ahead.”

— Stephen Kajiura, associate professor, Florida Atlantic University salmon, Dungeness crab, halibut and American lobsters.

“We picked EMF (electromagnetic fields) because there is no scientific literature,” she said.

In the lab, two specially designed coils each containing 200 pounds of copper wiring have been wrapped inside what looks like window frames. When electricity is fed into the coils, an electromagnetic field is created with a magnetic flux roughly the power of a small bar magnet. Aquarium tanks filled with marine species are placed near the coils and scientists study their reaction when the coil is energized.

Different marine species have different ways of detecting the earth’s magnetic field to navigate and even to track prey.

Sharks have little black pores near their snouts that are filled with a conductive jellylike substance and serve as external magnetic receptors, said Stephen Kajiura, an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida Atlantic University. Sharks can even determine when they are moving north and south or east and west. Rays have a similar detection system.

“There’s absolutely more convenient access to paint-collection opportunities than there was in June,” she said.

Bins fill up quickly Rich Eldrige, manager of Standard Paint and Abbey Carpet in Bend, said his store got collection bins in October.

“Quite surprisingly, they’ve been filling up pretty quick,” Eldrige said.

Still, some customers are not happy to see the additional charge on their receipt, he said.

“There’s some that say, ‘Oh great, just one more tax, and it’s something that we didn’t even get to vote on,’” he said. “Which I can sympathize with and empathize with.”

While he may not agree with everything in the program, and questioned why Metro was selling paint that people had paid to recycle through the fee, Eldrige said Standard Paint decided to participate in the program to help out and give the community another option for recycling.

Many customers just shrug and say they’re glad the program is in place to prevent paint from ending up in the landfill, Eldrige said.

Gavin Hepp, one of the owners of Webfoot Painting Co. in Bend, said the program has been

Turtles have magnetic receptors connected to their central nervous system.

“This mechanism allows them to have long ocean migrations in an environment where everything is blue, there are no landmarks and you can’t tell east from west and north from south,” Kajiura said.

Lobsters, crabs, tuna and other species are thought to have similar guidance systems.

Salmon may have some type of chemicals in their brains that detect the earth’s magnetic fields, though Kajiura and Copping cautioned that more research is needed to be certain.

“We are not sure about salmon,” Copping said. “No one has ever been able to show how they navigate back to their streams.”

Kajiura has studied how underwater electric cables can affect a shark’s behavior. The cables can create electromagnetic fields.

“Sharks will bite at them (the cables), thinking they are prey,” he said. “It’s not a new phenomenon. The cables may very well produce magnetic fields that could disrupt behavior.”

Copping said some preliminary results from her lab’s experiments should be available in the coming weeks.

“We won’t have definitive answers, but we should know whether it is a problem or not,” she said.

Both Copping and Kajiura said it was important to have some scientific answers to questions regulators are sure to ask.

“It’s coming so fast, regulators are asking questions we don’t have answers to,” said Kajiura.

“It would be nice to have some baseline research before we move ahead.”

good for commercial painters because they previously had to pay for someone to pick up leftover paint.

“It’s been very convenient for recycling paint,” Hepp said. “And it’s not so bad having to pay a little more per gallon.”

People can still drop off paint at the landfill, Schimke said, which is one of the PaintCare sites. But having PaintCare run the paint collection and recycling program has allowed the county to reassign an employee who used to do that work full time, Schimke said. Between the cost of that employee, and the cost to hire a contractor to recycle the paint, the county is saving somewhere between $100,000 and $125,000 a year, he said.

“I think this has been a great program,” Schimke said.

As other states consider establishing paint-recycling programs, the federal Environmental Protection Agency also is evaluating Oregon’s efforts, Boudouris said.

“We were the first in the country, so we’re very much being watched by other states,” she said. “We’ll have a whole lot of information on how this whole thing worked.”

Jim Wilson / New York Times News Service

Leo Laporte hosts his podcast, TWIT, in Petaluma, Calif., on Nov. 9. Laporte’s podcasting network has made him a star in technology circles.

Podcast Continued from C1 Podcasting is an often overlooked corner of the media world. The term is derived from iPod, the Apple media player that can be used to listen to these radiolike programs as well as recorded music. The iTunes store from Apple, where about 75 percent of the audience for podcasts looks for fresh material, contains about 150,000 regular shows featuring has-been and upand-coming comics and sex talk, as well as mainstream fare like NPR and CNN broadcasts. Edison Research estimates that a quarter of all Americans over the age of 12 have listened to or watched at least one. There are also video podcasts.

Laporte has shown there is a lot of life in podcasting.

Doug Keith, president of Future Research Consulting in Philadelphia, which tracks media companies and publishers, said advertisers were drawn to the network because tech enthusiasts were keen on its content.

In July, Laporte spent three hours signing hundreds of autographs for members of the so-called TWIT army in Detroit. Some of his fans had him sign their iPads. No wonder then, that $20,000 a month in voluntary contributions comes in from the TWIT website, which has a series of “Tip Leo” buttons that set off recurring monthly contributions of $2, $5 and $10.

Laporte’s first great love was radio. In the late 1970s, he dropped out of Yale to pursue

a radio career. He began talking about technology on the radio in 1990. In the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, he appeared on tech-focused television programs, including as an animated character on “The Site,” an MSNBC show devoted to the nascent Internet. Laporte played an espresso barista named Dev Null and wore a motion-capture suit to animate the character he voiced.

Many who listen to or watch his podcasts today remember him from such cable TV shows as “The Screen Savers” and “Call for Help.” And it was a roundtable discussion by former staff members from “Screen Savers” that prompted Laporte to begin “This Week in Tech” in 2005. Laporte posted a recording of the discussion at a Macworld conference on his blog, not intending it to become a podcast. But it got so many hits, he started posting regularly.

Laporte, now with a full head of graying hair, has an encyclopedic command of digital technology, and he keeps the show, which consistently reaches the top 200 podcasts list at iTunes, lively with his ability to mimic voices and accents. He frequently does impressions of sitcom and cartoon characters to make a point about network-attached storage devices or bit rates.

“This Week in Tech,” a twohour show, features journalists and industry insiders talking shop. Some who live in Silicon Valley or San Francisco drive up to Laporte’s cottage to join

him for the Sunday afternoon recordings. Other far-flung participants connect through Skype. A contraption in the TWIT control room known as the Skyposaurus employs four computers to connect Skype video callers.

In the studio, Laporte’s eyes dart from one computer screen scrolling mile-a-minute chatroom banter to another where he searches Google for answers for guests and listeners, while mixing sound, switching video signals and moderating panel discussions.

But it is the hundreds of hardcore tech fans in the show’s chat rooms that make the podcasts work. They serve as Laporte’s researchers, fact checkers and Greek chorus.

“If an error is made, the chat room will be all over it,” said John Dvorak, a columnist for PC Magazine and a regular on “This Week in Tech.” “This is real-time fact checking. There’s nothing like it.”

During recordings of “This Week in Tech,” as many as 1,500 people are in chat rooms typing away at a furious pace.

Next year, the TWIT empire is expected to move into a larger building down the street from its current headquarters. Laporte plans to start a morning show this spring to compete with drive-time radio broadcasters.

“It’s not as if I had a plan for all this,” Laporte said. “It just kind of happened. It was almost as if we had this audience that was waiting for the medium to come along.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: B C S N AT I O N A L CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Nevada finishes season with bowl victory over BC SAN FRANCISCO — Rishard Marshall caught a touchdown pass and returned a punt for another score, and No. 13 Nevada used a strong defensive effort to cap its most successful season ever at college football’s highest level by beating Boston College 20-13 in the Fight Hunger Bowl on Sunday night.

Colin Kaepernick threw for 192 yards and a touchdown for the Wolf Pack (13-1), who snapped a four-game bowl losing streak by tying a school record for wins in a season set when it played in what used to be Division I-AA. This game matched BC’s top-ranked rushing defense against Nevada’s high-powered pistol attack that was third in the nation in rushing.

The Eagles (7-6) did a good job controlling the Wolf Pack on the ground, holding them to a season-low 114 yards — more than 190 below their season average.

Kaepernick was held to 22 yards on nine carries, but managed to top 3,000 yards passing for the season. That allowed him to join Brad Smith and Vince Young as the only FBS quarterbacks to rush for at least 1,000 yards and throw for 3,000 in the same season.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Some are calling it the most difficult ticket in the history of American sports.

Two high-scoring offenses, two defenses that are tired of talking about the offenses, and two extremely loyal fan bases.

The wait for Oregon vs. Auburn is finally over. The two football teams will kick off tonight at 5:30 p.m. at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., in the BCS National Championship Game.

The exposure for the state of Oregon has been immense, and now the Ducks are just one step away from the pinnacle of college football.

Oregon will employ its hyperspeed spread offense led by running back LaMichael James, and try to stop Auburn quarterback Cam Newton on defense.

Oregon head coach Chip Kelly knows the Ducks have a hefty challenge tonight.

“It is going to come to a game of fundamentals,” Kelly said in a Sunday press conference. “Offensively, we have to be able to control their front four. And obviously the turnover game is going to be huge. Whoever wins the turnover battle is probably going to win the game.”

Luckily, for the Ducks, they have forced 35 turnovers this season, the most in the nation.

COMMENTARY

With two teams that fill up the highlight reels, the BCS title game could deliver some great drama

By Mike Kern McClatchy-Tribune News Service

GLENDALE, Ariz. — uds.

No, we’re not talking about the way-too-many bowls that have taken place this postseason, although that description would certainly apply considering how many forgettable matchups there were in the last three weeks. Once again, it should be duly noted.

But, for the most part, the same also could be said when it comes to your first dozen BCS championship games.

Sure, Ohio State and Miami had controversial calls and double overtime in 2003, in nearby Sun Devil Stadium. And three years later, Texas and Southern Cal treated America to an absolute classic at the Rose Bowl. Yet, other than those, it’s pretty much been a bunch of Florida 41, Ohio State 14. Or USC 55, Oklahoma 19. How about Miami 37, Nebraska 14? Maybe even Oklahoma 13, Florida State 2.

Perhaps that’s what happens when you don’t always get the right two teams in the last game. Or when you have 35 days off since you last teed it up.

Anyway, another college football campaign will finally end tonight at University of Phoenix Stadium, 23 days after Brigham Young and Texas-El Paso got it all started in New Mexico. Now, 33 more games later, Auburn and Oregon are meeting to decide who finishes No. 1.

Mountain View alum Sean Dart transferred to Willamette University, with very good results

F

or Sean Dart, the move from Eastern Oregon University in La Grande to Willamette University in Salem was all about location.

An all-state basketball player for Mountain View in 2008, his senior year, Dart is thriving for the Bearcat men’s team this season (4-9 overall), his first since transferring from Eastern Oregon in the summer. A redshirt sophomore, Dart is averaging 16.5 points and 8.2 rebounds a contest, both of which are the second-best marks on the team.

“The decision to leave Eastern (Oregon) was definitely more than basketball,” says Dart, who at one time led NCAA Division III men’s players in field-goal percentage. “The basketball at Eastern (Oregon) is awesome.

The players are all really good, the coaches are great. It’s just kind of in the middle of nowhere.”

After playing sporadically as a freshman and redshirting last season, Dart, a 6-foot-6-inch forward, decided to head west without knowing much about the Bearcats.

Your goal for 2011?

Shake things up

rew Holmes likes a good challenge. Perhaps more accurately, his idea of a good challenge is setting a goal he’s not quite sure he can complete. After all, if he was certain in advance that he could accomplish what he set out to do, what would be the point?

Last year, the avid Bend mountain biker and two-time Ironmandistance triathlon finisher trained for months in preparation for the Cascade Cream Puff — a 100-mile endurance mountain bike race held annually in Oakridge, southeast of Eugene.

The race in 2010 consisted of two 50-mile laps on a backbreaking course that included two trips up an arduous 17-mile climb and more than 14,000 feet in elevation gain. But at 12 1⁄2 hours and 70 miles into the race, Holmes was time cut. Organizers did not believe he could finish the final 30 miles before darkness fell.

“It wasn’t due to me not being able to keep going,” Holmes recalls. “I was totally frustrated, because I was just getting my second wind.”

Frustrated, yes. But deterred, no.

In 2011, Holmes, 40, has resolved to try the Cream Puff again with the goal of finishing the long-distance effort within the available daylight hours.

S B Basketball • AP Source: Nets ‘advancing’ on Anthony deal: The Nets are closing in on a deal to bring Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey. Talks on a three-team trade with the Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons are “advancing,” a person with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press on Sunday. The trade would reunite Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton in New Jersey along with Anthony, the person said on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss the talks.

Although there has been progress, the person said there are potential roadblocks. The deal would fall apart if Anthony refused to sign a three-year, $65 million contract extension with the Nets. Billups also has said he would be reluctant to leave Denver.

• Cavs lose center Varejao for season: Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao will likely miss the rest of the season because of a torn tendon in his right ankle. Varejao got hurt during practice on Thursday, and was placed in a walking boot. He missed Friday’s game against Golden State before undergoing a second MRI in Phoenix. The Cavs said Sunday’s test revealed “a complete tear of the peroneus longus in the midfoot of the right ankle and foot.”

Football • Top RBs Martin, Bettis, Faulk among HOF finalists: Running backs Curtis Martin, Jerome Bettis and Marshall Faulk and cornerback Deion Sanders are among 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2011. Martin, Bettis and Faulk are among the NFL’s top 10 leading rushers, and are eligible for the first time, as is Sanders and offensive tackle Willie Roaf. The other finalists announced Sunday are receivers Tim Brown, Andre Reed and Cris Carter, offensive lineman Dermontti Dawson, defensive linemen Richard Dent, Cortez Kennedy, Charles Haley and Chris Doleman, and tight end Shannon Sharpe, along with NFL filmmaker Ed Sabol.

Tennis • Soderling beats Roddick in Brisbane International: Top-seeded Robin Soderling beat defending champion Andy Roddick 6-3, 7-5 on Sunday to win the Brisbane International singles title in Brisbane, Australia. With torrential rain falling outside the roofed but outdoor Pat Rafter Arena, Soderling’s strong serve and pinpoint return of serve stymied Roddick throughout the match and enabled the Swede to finish the tournament without dropping a set.

• Wawrinka beats Malisse for Chennai Open title: Third-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland defeated Xavier Malisse of Belgium 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 Sunday to win the Chennai Open in Chennai, India. The 21st-ranked Wawrinka overpowered his seventh-seeded opponent with a string of passing shots and cross-court winners in the final set to clinch the third title of his career. He lost just one point on his serve in the decider and broke Malisse twice.

Soccer • Beckham’s Spurs loan falls through over insurance: David Beckham’s proposed loan to Tottenham from the Los Angeles Galaxy fell through on Sunday because of insurance issues, but the midfielder will still train with the Premier League club for a month. Spurs manager Harry Redknapp had been expecting to complete a loan deal over the weekend after the club emerged as the 35-yearold Beckham’s preferred destination. But Redknapp told Sky Sports News when arriving at White Hart Lane on Sunday that it was “all too complicated with the insurance issues” and the club then announced that Beckham will join the squad only to train until Feb. 10.

Auto racing • Al-Attiyah, Lopez Contardo win stages: Nasser Al-Attiyah won the seventh stage of the Dakar Rally Sunday, edging teammate and defending champion Carlos Sainz and fellow Volkswagen driver Giniel de Villiers. Sainz retained a narrow overall lead, 1 minute, 22 seconds ahead of Al-Attiyah and 21:11 ahead of Stephane Peterhansel in a BMW. In the bikes category, Francisco Lopez Contardo of Chile won the stage to delight home fans, 2:21 ahead of defending champion Cyril Despres and 3:45 ahead of overall leader Marc Coma. Coma’s overall lead was 7:24 over Despres and 18:27 in front of Lopez Contardo.

James too hot for Blazers LeBron scores 44 points to lead Miami

Wily Low / The Associated Press

Arizona’s Lamont Jones (12) shoots over Stanford’s Alex Jacobson, left, in the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Tucson, Ariz., Sunday.

Arizona won 67-57.

Arizona completes sweep of Bay Area The Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. — Jamelle Horne, who lost his starting job one game before the Pac-10 season began, scored 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and Arizona completed a home sweep of the Bay Area schools with a 67-57 victory over Stanford in a contest pushed back a day because of Saturday’s mass shooting in suburban Tucson.

Horne, six-of-seven shooting overall, made all four of his 3-point attempts, two to lift the Wildcats (14-3, 3-1) out of trouble down the stretch. Derrick Williams, coming off a career-high 31 points in Arizona’s 73-71 victory over California on Thursday night, made all five of his shots, two of them 3-pointers, to finish with 14.

Josh Owens scored 18 and Jeremy Green 15 for Stanford (9-5, 2-1).

The Sunday afternoon game had been scheduled for Saturday but was postponed because of the shooting outside a supermarket that killed six and critically wounded U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Before the tip-off, university president Robert Shelton spoke to the crowd from center court, thanking Stanford for its cooperation and praising doctors at nearby University Medical Center “without whose efforts we’d have a lot of dead people right now in Tucson.”

In his postgame radio show, Arizona coach Sean Miller thanked the crowd of 14,374 for showing up under the unusual, trying circumstances.

“Hopefully today kind of served as a healing moment that took everybody’s mind off the tragedy,” he said.

Also on Sunday: No. 1 Duke . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 71 Maryland. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 64 DURHAM, N.C. — Kyle Singler had 25 points and a seasonhigh 10 rebounds, and Duke beat Maryland to extend its winning streak to 25.

No. 2 Ohio State . . . . . . . . . . . . 67 Minnesota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 64 COLUMBUS, Ohio — David Lighty scored 19 points and Ohio State survived a scare when Austin Hollins’ 3-pointer came up short in the final seconds, allowing the Buckeyes to remain unbeaten with a victory over Minnesota.

No. 3 Kansas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 67 Michigan. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Marcus Morris scored 22 points, and Kansas remained undefeated.

No. 7 Villanova. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 No. 24 Cincinnati. . . . . . . . . . . . 61 VILLANOVA, Pa. — Corey Fisher scored 21 points and Maalik Wayns had 13 of his 15 in the second half as Villanova handed Cincinnati its first loss of the season.

No. 11 Purdue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75 Iowa. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Ryne Smith scored 18 points to help Purdue to its 10th straight win. Smith made a career-high six 3-pointers, surpassing his record of five set twice in the previous three games.

California . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 63 UCLA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 LOS ANGELES — Nikola Vucevic scored 20 points to lead Southern California’s inside game and the Trojans defeated UCLA for their fourth straight win over the crosstown rival.

PORTLAND — LeBron James’ crunch-time performance left even teammate Dwyane Wade in awe.

James had a season-high 44 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, Wade added 34 points and eight rebounds, and the Miami Heat beat the Portland Trail Blazers 107-100 in overtime Sunday night for their 13th straight road victory.

“You look at games like this and moments like this and you really understand why we decided to team up and come together,” Wade said. “I am a fan of his on the court and I am just glad I get to experience this in the same jersey he wears, instead of being on the other end.”

James buried two deep 3pointers and made two free throws in the extra period for the Heat (30-9), who have won 21 of their last 22 games after a slow start to the season. Chris Bosh added 18 points and eight rebounds. The Big Three combined for all but 11 of Miami’s points.

Miami is three road wins away from tying the NBA record held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat needed to scramble to keep the streak going after Wesley Matthews hit a 3-pointer to put the Blazers up 89-82 with 2:13 left.

James took the game over from there, making a 3-pointer and two more free throws to tie it.

“I had to do whatever it took to win,” James said. “Coach put me in that position and it created a mismatch for them and I was able to use my athleticism and quickness against whoever was on me.”

LaMarcus Aldridge had 31 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists for the Blazers (20-18), who had an eight-game home win streak snapped. Nicolas Batum added 22 points and Matthews had 14.

Portland had the ball with 38 seconds left in overtime, trailing 104-100, but Aldridge traveled in the backcourt. James’ second 3 in the extra period, from 26 feet out, put away the game.

“That’s what big-time players do,” Matthews said. “He was coming down, hitting big shots — daggers — and we couldn’t do anything about it.”

Portland’s veteran players were well aware that James has a history of torching the Blazers in the Rose Garden —

Miami Heat’s Carlos Arroyo (8) reaches for Portland Trail Blazers’ Wesley Matthews after he collects a loose ball as in the second half during an NBA basketball game Sunday in Portland. The Heat defeated the Trail Blazers in overtime 107-100. he is averaging 33.5 points and 10.6 rebounds in his last seven games in Portland — and there was some concern in the locker room that the intimidation factor would come into play if the game was close.

“I didn’t want to jinx it pregame,” Aldridge said, “but every time he’s played here, he’s shot the ball well. I didn’t want to say that to my teammates, but he seems to save all his jump shots for us.”

The Heat went into overtime for the second straight game after winning at Milwaukee on Friday. Portland led for most of the second half, but James tied it at 93 with two free throws with 24 seconds remaining.

Andre Miller then missed two shots in the final seconds.

Wade made his first seven shots and had 15 of the Heat’s first 19 points. Miami led 3830 in the second after Wade, James and Bosh scored in succession. However, the Blazers went on a 7-0 run to cut the lead to one. The Heat led 46-44 at the break.

The third quarter belonged to Portland. Aldridge scored twice and Matthews finished a fast break with a layup to put Portland up 58-52. Rudy Fernandez made a 3-pointer to make it 6560. Portland led 76-68 with 7:48 remaining in the game after Patrick Mills hit a 3.

“There wasn’t any panic in the huddle,” Heat coach Erik

Spoelstra said. “We just needed to clear up some of the things we were not doing to the best of our ability.”

Also on Sunday: Spurs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 94 Timberwolves . . . . . . . . . . . . . 91 SAN ANTONIO — Manu Ginobili scored 14 of his 21 points in the second quarter, and the Spurs scored their 15th straight victory over the Timberwolves.

Pau Gasol had 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Lakers, who thoroughly dominated undersized New York in the paint and on defense during their seventh straight win over the Knicks.

A LT E N M A R K T-Z AUCHENSEE, Austria — Lindsey Vonn made a couple of mistakes and Swiss teen Lara Gut capitalized, putting aside off-the-slopes struggles to win Sunday’s World Cup super-G race for her second career victory.

The 19-year-old Swiss had a near-flawless run on the demanding Kaelberloch course to finish in 1 minute, 12.82 seconds and beat Vonn by 0.53.

“It’s an incredible feeling,” said Gut, whose first victory also came in a super-G, in December 2008 at St. Moritz, Switzerland.

Vonn was disappointed to see her leading time beaten, but she was not surprised by Gut’s performance.

“I knew she was going to have a good run and thought my time wasn’t good enough to hold up,” said Vonn, who won the only previous super-G this season, at Lake Louise, Alberta, in December.

The three-time defending overall champion lost speed as she almost fell in a right turn and had both hands in the snow to avoid crashing.

“I am happy with second,” she said. “I made a couple of mistakes today and almost fell on the bottom. I just caught some soft snow and almost went on my hip. Thankfully I finished the race.”

Gut’s teammate Dominique Gisin was 0.72 seconds behind in third.

Maria Riesch of Germany took sixth to keep her lead in the overall standings with 923 points, followed by Vonn on 827.

Julia Mancuso placed 16th and Laurenne Ross was 23rd for the U.S. Gut missed the entire Olympic season last winter because of a dislocated hip and said the victory would help her continue to rebuild her confidence.

“After the last two years, this is really good for me,” she said.

“I love this course as I won my first junior world championship medal here.”

Gut has quarreled this season with the Swiss ski federation, which suspended her for two races for publicly criticizing a coach and ignoring warnings to comply with guidelines on wearing official team clothes.

“I’ve put that whole story behind me now,” she said. “That’s the past and it’s useless to think about it any longer.”

In other events on Sunday: Kostelic wins World Cup slalom ADELBODEN, Switzerland — Ivica Kostelic of Croatia completed an excellent week by winning a World Cup slalom Sunday to move into first in the overall standings.

Kostelic overcame worsening conditions in the afternoon to defend his big lead from the morning run and finish in a combined two-leg time of 1 minute, 50.90 seconds.

Marcel Hirscher of Austria was runner-up, 0.26 seconds back after being the only racer within 1.3 seconds of Kostelic in the first run.

Austria’s Reinfried Herbst, the defending World Cup slalom champion, trailed Kostelic by 1.29 in third.

Bode Miller and Ted Ligety skied out on the first run, but American teammate Will Brandenburg scored his first World Cup points by finishing 24th.

Stars beat Wild to stretch road win streak

Byrd wins PGA Tour opener in Hawaii

The Associated Press

KAPALUA, Hawaii — Jonathan Byrd won another playoff in fading sunlight, minus the heroics.

Byrd opened the PGA Tour season Sunday by closing with a 6-under 67 and winning a sudden-death playoff in the Tournament of Champions when Robert Garrigus missed a 3-foot par putt on the second extra hole.

Byrd qualified for Kapalua by making a hole-in-one in near darkness to win a three-man playoff in Las Vegas, as dramatic a finish as there was on tour last year. He won this playoff under far more different circumstances.

He nearly holed a 50-foot birdie putt on the opening hole on the Plantation Course, leaving him a tapin par. Byrd stood off to Jonathan Byrd the side of the green, waiting to go to the next hole, when Garrigus three-putted by missing a 3-foot par putt.

It gave Byrd his fifth career victory, and this came with a few perks. Byrd earned an automatic invitation to the Masters, and with his second win in the last two months, is exempt for the U.S. Open.

Graeme McDowell nearly joined them in the playoff. The U.S. Open champion, coming off a dream season, matched the Plantation Course record with an 11-under 62 and finished one shot behind. McDowell had a 10foot birdie putt on the last hole that just missed.

Byrd and Garrigus, who missed a 12-foot eagle putt on the 18th in regulation, finished at 24-under 268.

Both had their chances.

Garrigus was always behind after a bogey on the opening hole, but was never out of the hunt. He always had the 688-yard, downhill 18th waiting for him, and he again took advantage. Garrigus ripped a 5-wood that caught the grain and the slope perfectly, some 12 feet short of the hole.

His eagle putt didn’t have enough speed, however, and caught the lower side of the cup.

Byrd, playing in the final group, couldn’t reach the green because of the Kona wind into his face. His wedge came up well short, and his 18-foot birdie putt for the win didn’t have a chance.

Despite the length advantage for Garrigus, Byrd had the best chance to win the first playoff hole on the 18th. His pitch stopped 10 feet short of the hole, but his second chance at birdie for the win slid by the cup.

Garrigus had a 73-yard advantage off the tee on the second extra hole, but his approach was 40 feet short, and his birdie putt to win was hit too hard, leaving him a nervy 3-footer that he missed.

“That putt was a microcosm of how I feel right now. This hole kind of got me this week,” said Garrigus, who bogeyed No. 1 in regulation and was 4-over par the five times he played it.

“Hopefully, I might be back here next year.”

The tournament ended with a bizarre twist, much like the rest of the week went.

It started with two-time defending champion Geoff Ogilvy having to pull out with 12 stitches in his finger from a freak injury in the ocean. The next day, Camilo Villegas was disqualified because of a rules violation that was reported through Twitter.

Also on Sunday: Oosthuizen wins Africa Open EAST LONDON, South Africa — British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen won the Africa Open, holing a 12-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff with Chris Wood and Manuel Quiros.

Oosthuizen shot a 3-under 70 to match Wood (68) and Quiros (69) at 16 under in the European and Sunshine tour event.

Europe takes Royal Trophy HUA HIN, Thailand — Pablo Martin beat Jeev Milkha Singh 1-up with a tap-in birdie on the final hole for the deciding point and Europe successfully defended its Royal Trophy title with a 9-7 comeback victory over Asia at Black Mountain Golf Club.

Europe won six singles matches and halved the other two.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Dallas Stars are playing with confidence and sound defense, and are finding ways to score first.

That’s one of the surest formulas for success on the road, and they’ve been enjoying plenty of that lately.

Jamie Benn scored twice, backup goalie Andrew Raycroft notched his second shutout of the season with 26 saves and the Stars matched a franchise record with their seventh straight road victory, 4-0 over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday.

“I think we’re at the point now where we truly believe what we’re doing,” Raycroft said. “If we play it strong defensively, we have more than enough guys to make plays up front to win games.”

Trevor Daley and James Neal also scored for the Stars, who last won seven games in a row away from Dallas in the 2001-02 season. They took it to Wild goalie Jose Theodore, who gave up only three scores in the last three games. The Wild had a four-game winning streak snapped, their longest in almost a calendar year.

The Stars, who welcomed Jamie Langenbrunner back to the lineup after a trade this week that returned him to his original team after nearly nine years with New Jersey, are 13-7-1 on the road.

“With the addition of Jamie here, we’ve got three lines that can score,” Daley said.

Raycroft said the trade has given the Stars even more incentive and confidence. Coach Marc Crawford lauded Langenbrunner’s scoring touch, experience and special teams ability.

In other games on Sunday: Blackhawks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 Islanders. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 CHICAGO — Marian Hossa and Patrick Kane scored in Chicago’s four-goal second period, leading the Blackhawks to a victory over the road-weary Islanders.

Dart Continued from D1 “My situation was kind of unique in that I sought out Willamette,” says Dart, one of several Central Oregonians playing college basketball this season. “I didn’t apply anywhere else. … I made my decision based mostly on Salem being an attractive location that was just two hours from home. It seemed like the only choice.”

As a freshman at EOU, Dart played in 19 games for the Mountaineers during the 2008-09 season, mainly in mop-up duty. Over the course of the season, he registered just 29 points and 14 rebounds for a team that went 25-8 and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the 2009 NAIA national tournament. Last year, Dart missed the start of the season with pain in his knee. Having already had two surgeries on the same leg, Dart sat out for the first month of the basketball season before an MRI came back clearing him to play.

“At that point, being a month behind, my coach and I decided it would be best to redshirt and wait out the year,” says Dart, who consulted with former teammate Abe Lodwick, who redshirted his freshman season at Washington State. “It was the hardest thing I’ve done, but after the fact I’m so glad.”

Because of the unexpected redshirt year, Dart still had three seasons of college basketball eligibility. Having felt a bit isolated in La Grande, a five-hour drive from Bend, Dart began looking at his options,

Green Bay Packers fullback Quinn Johnson pulls Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Ernie Sims along after a pass reception during the first half of Sunday’s NFC wild-card playoff game in Philadelphia. The Packers won 21-16.

QB leads Packers over Eagles The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Aaron Rodgers doesn’t have to worry about the ghost of Brett Favre anymore. He’s made his own name with the Green Bay Packers, even moreso with his first playoff victory.

Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, seldom-used rookie James Starks ran for 123 yards and the Packers beat Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles 21-16 in an NFC wild-card game Sunday.

“I never felt like there was a monkey on my back,” Rodgers said. “I’m just so proud of these guys.”

Rodgers had to watch from the sideline while Vick nearly led the Eagles back. But Tramon Williams intercepted Vick’s pass for Riley Cooper in the end zone with 33 seconds left to seal the win.

“We fought hard today,” Rodgers said.

“Big interception by Tramon who’s had a great season for us.”

The sixth-seeded Packers (11-6) are heading to Atlanta (13-3) for a divisional playoff game next Saturday night.

Rodgers patiently waited three years to become Green Bay’s starter and took over after Favre’s messy departure before the 2008 season. He long ago made Packers fans forget about Favre, and now has punctuated his impressive resume with his first playoff win in two tries.

“Defense played great. They’ve been carrying us a lot this season,” Rodgers said.

“We had three touchdowns tonight, it was enough to win.”

It wasn’t Rodgers’ fault Green Bay lost 51-45 in overtime to Arizona last January.

These aren’t the same Packers. This patchwork squad has 10 different starters, and a much stronger defense.

Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson and Co. contained Vick for the most part. Vick threw for 292 yards and ran for 33 in his first playoff start since losing the 2005 NFC championship game on the same field as a member of the Atlanta Falcons.

“I feel like I got greedy and took a shot at

“I used to be the pudgy guy jogging up the court.

Now I’m the guy beating that guy down the court.”

— Sean Dart, on getting in better shape since joining Willamette’s basketball team

with location being of the uttermost importance. By the start of the 201011 school year, Dart was enrolled at Willamette.

“It’s so nice being closer to home,” Dart says. “The other day I had a final at Willamette, got a workout in, got some shots up, got in the car and drove over the pass and was home in time to watch the Mountain View (boys basketball) game. The fact that I could be in Bend in two hours as opposed to five is such a huge difference.”

Dart’s newfound comfort level shows. He has led the Bearcats in scoring in five of their 11 games this season, including a career-high 31 points in Willamette’s 102-90 loss to Northwest Christian University.

In the Bearcats’ 100-67 defeat to the University of Oregon — the contest paid homage to the first basketball game ever played at McArthur Court, a matchup between the Ducks and Willamette in 1927 — Dart more than held his own, scoring 12 points and grabbing five rebounds.

“Playing on Mac Court is always fun,” says Dart, who played five state tournament games at the historic are-

the end zone,” Vick said about his last pass.

“I didn’t throw the ball I wanted and got picked. It’s not the way I wanted to go out, but I went down swinging. I have to learn from it.”

Vick has come a long way since he was one of the game’s biggest stars during his days in Atlanta. He missed two seasons while serving 18 months in prison for his role in a dogfighting operation, played sparingly in a backup role last year and only got his chance after Matthews knocked Kevin Kolb out in Green Bay’s 2720 win in Philadelphia in Week 1.

Vick made the most of the opportunity.

He had the best season of his career and was selected to start the Pro Bowl for the NFC. Vick can go to Hawaii now because the Eagles (10-7) are going home.

This was Green Bay’s third straight win in an elimination game. The Packers routed the Giants on Dec. 26 to stay alive in the playoff race, and beat Chicago last week to secure a playoff berth.

The Eagles were the talk of the NFL after a sensational comeback win at the New York Giants on Dec. 19. But a stunning loss to lowly Minnesota on Dec. 28 cost the NFC East champions a chance at a firstround bye, and it seemed their Super Bowl hopes went down with that defeat.

Then again, the Eagles might have advanced if Pro Bowl kicker David Akers hadn’t missed field goals of 41 and 34 yards.

“We can all count, and those points would have helped,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said.

The supposedly one-dimensional Packers found a running game by giving the ball to Starks. The sixth-round pick who played in just three games had 101 yards rushing all year. The Packers had trouble running all year after Ryan Grant went down for the season in Week 1. But they exposed weaknesses in Philadelphia’s defense.

The Eagles got within 21-16 when Vick sneaked in from the 1 with 4:02 left. The 2-point conversion failed, but the defense held and Philadelphia got the ball back at the Packers 34 with 1:45 left.

Vick completed passes of 28 yards to DeSean Jackson and 11 yards to Cooper before he threw the pick from the 27.

He had his chance, and fell short.

With Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis leading a third-quarter surge, the Ravens (13-4) broke open a close game with a touchdown and two field goals off three turnovers.

The AFC West-winning Chiefs (10-7) have now gone 17 years since their last playoff victory, and own the NFL record with seven straight postseason losses.

Baltimore will hit the road again to play AFC North rival Pittsburgh on Saturday in the third matchup against the Steelers this season.

Flacco’s 4-yard scoring pass to Anquan Boldin with 32 seconds left in the third quarter put the Ravens up 23-7. The score came six plays after Dawan Landry picked off a pass by Matt Cassel to set up Baltimore at the Chiefs’ 31.

na during his junior and senior high school seasons. “Some of the guys on the team, especially the freshmen, were a little overwhelmed. … For me it’s like a second home court after the Cougar gym.”

Pegged as a “tweener” coming out of high school — not big enough to play post or quick enough on the outside for NCAA Division I schools — Dart has shed 20 pounds since his Mountain View playing days.

“I used to be the pudgy guy jogging up the court,” says Dart. “Now I’m the guy beating that guy down the court.”

Although Dart’s individual numbers have sky-rocketed since joining the Bearcats, he says he’s still adjusting to playing in a new program.

Eastern Oregon has become a juggernaut at the NAIA level the past few years — the Mountaineers have played in the NAIA national tournament each of the last three seasons — while Willamette, which has gone 32-42 over the same time span, is still carving out an identity at the Division III level.

“It’s been a major adjustment for me basketball-wise,” Dart says.

“Eastern Oregon is an established NAIA powerhouse. They do things a certain way. … Coming to Willamette, we’re a really young team.

We’ve got seven freshmen and one senior. But I’ve learned to embrace that. I know it sounds kind of cliche, but I want to be part of that change.”

Goal

Continued from D1 Oregon hopes its offense — led

by James with 152.9 yards per game — can cause problems for Auburn’s defense. Some estimates have the Ducks taking just nine to 11 seconds between snaps. Auburn head coach Gene Chizik said Sunday that the Tigers have been preparing for a fast tempo.

“That’s warp speed — it really is,” Chizik said.

Playing fast, after all, is one of three tenets of Oregon football, according to Kelly. “We stand for three things: playing fast, playing hard, and finishing,” Kelly said. “We’ve done it with 12 opportunities.”

Winning a national championship, Kelly said, would be just a byproduct of those three things.

“Our vision has nothing to do with championships,” he said. “Our vision has nothing to do with getting a crystal ball or rings. It is about playing the game. That’s what we have done all along, and that’s what our vision is.”

Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas, who has thrown for 28 touchdowns and just seven interceptions this season, said the Ducks play even faster when they see an opposing defense get tired.

“It happens a lot in the second half because we start to wear teams down,” Thomas said. “But when it happens, we start to get amped and go faster.”

The Tigers likely have the ability to stop the Ducks if they do not get tired — Auburn’s defense allows just 111.7 rushing yards per game, while Oregon rushes for 303.8 per game. As Oregon picks up the pace against Auburn tonight, the Duck defense will finally give a definitive answer to the question they have been answering for more than a month: Can they stop Newton?

At 6 feet, 6 inches tall and 250 pounds, the Heisman Trophy winner is bigger than eight of Oregon’s defensive starters. Newton is the national leader in pass efficiency who also runs for more than 100 yards per game. But Oregon has proven it can gang tackle effectively. Oregon safety John Boyett could have a big role in containing Newton tonight.

“You might have everything covered downfield, and then he (Newton) takes off for 10 yards,” Boyett said. “We’ve faced a lot of good quarterbacks this season. I don’t know if there’s a conference that has as many good quarterbacks as the Pac-10. So I think we’re well prepared.”

Oregon linebacker Casey Matthews described Newton as “huge.”

“He will be very tough to tackle,” Matthews said. “He’s not your ordinary quarterback. I mean, he’s huge. He’s got a pretty powerful stiff arm. He will lower his shoulder and try to get those extra yards. We’ve got to wrap him up as a team.”

If the Ducks trail in the first half, as they have in many games this season, they will rely on their strong late-game defense, which has given up just 24 points in the fourth quarter this season. Oregon has outscored all 12 opponents in the second half by a combined margin of 277-77. But Newton has led Auburn in eight come-from-behind victories.

This phrase has been uttered often this week: “Whoever has the ball last will win.”

If that’s the case, the Ducks figure their experience in overcoming adversity should help them late in the game, whether it’s a shootout or not.

“You are going to get knocked down,” James said. “You are going to face adversity. It matters how you get up ... Everybody will go through adversity. We want to overcome this.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

You are probably never going to get another chance at this.”

Continued from D1 To do that, he plans to make at least four trips to Oakridge before the June race to practice pedaling up the grueling ascent.

He believes the extra training on the race course could be the ticket to finishing.

“Climbing is my weakness, and that’s why I want to do it,” says Holmes. “Because I don’t know if I CAN do it, and that’s the total fun part.”

He goes on to say that having twice proven that he can complete an Ironman triathlon, he finds little allure in aiming to finish a third Ironman.

“It’s still a challenge and still difficult, but if I started another Ironman … will I finish it? Absolutely,” he maintains. “If I started the Cream Puff … will I finish it? I don’t know.”

With the start of a new year, many Central Oregon cyclists will be making bike-related goals and resolutions, though they need not be as ambitious as Holmes’. Personally, I will be making a considerable effort to ride and race leaner this year. I would like to experience what it feels like to carry 10 fewer pounds while riding uphill.

I’m hopeful that it feels fast.

Like Holmes, I am not particularly inspired to do the same old thing year after year. So in 2011 I plan to try a new race or two, and to discover new roads and new trails that I have not been on before.

Lastly, bicycle transportation continues to be a hot topic in our community. I aim to stay better apprised of new developments as they relate to bicycle transportation throughout our region, and to do my part to ride more and drive less.

Here are a few ideas to help expand your cycling horizon in 2011: Commit to try something new on the bike: The ways in which you can spice up your riding life in 2011 are countless. For those who ride only for fitness or recreation, try commuting or running errands on your bike. Mountain bikers can discover a whole new trail by swapping out a dual-suspension ride for a singlespeed or cyclocross bike, or rediscover the thrill of riding standby trails by hitting them after dark with a bike light.

Maybe this is the year you plan a long-distance multiday tour across the state, or that you register for an organized tour like Cycle Oregon or Bend’s Big Fat Tour. Central Oregon is home to several new events this year, including a 24-hour mountain bike race and two national cycling championships — no travel required.

Discover new roads or trails: It’s easy to get stuck in the habit of riding the same trails and roads week in and week out.

But Central Oregon and our entire state have so much to offer that we have no excuse not to kick the routine and explore this vast wonderland.

If the twists and turns on the popular Phil’s Trail network west of Bend are seeming old hat, it’s time to venture out. Try riding in the Ochoco Mountains east of Prineville, or go exploring the Peterson Ridge Trail system near Sisters. The rides around Waldo Lake and Paulina Lake are also not to be missed.

For roadies, a short drive outside of Central Oregon can really revive the humdrum feeling you might be getting after climbing Century Drive to Mount Bachelor for the 112th time. The McKenzie Pass Highway (state Highway 242) is a must in the summer, as is the ride around Crater Lake. Any portion of the Aufderheide Road, which connects McKenzie Bridge and Westfir on the west side of the Cascades, is another ride sure to please. A bit farther east of Prineville, riders can find plenty of quiet highways to be explored near the towns of Service Creek, Fossil and Mitchell.

Improve off-the-bike strength and conditioning: Cyclists who spend lots of hours on a bike and none in a gym are asking for trouble. Eventually, the repetitive motion of turning over pedals and sitting in the same bent-over position is bound to cause strain.

This year, consider adding some off-thebike strength training or a flexibility and stretching program to your regular cycling routine.

“Cyclists spend many hours hunched over handlebars working in only one plane of movement, which can lead to muscle imbalance and injury,” says Joanne Stevens, a personal trainer in Bend.

According to Stevens, strength training and flexibility exercises, along with maintaining a strong core, are key injury-prevention measures that cyclists can take.

“It not only helps develop a strong pedal stroke, but along with shoulder strength, (a proper exercise program) maintains good posture on the bike,” she continues. “Good posture on the bike relieves shoulder and neck pain that can be a common complaint among cyclists.”

Shake up your training: For cyclists who have had trouble reaching their personal racing or riding goals in the past, or for those who feel they have reached a plateau with their fitness or skills, consider hiring a coach or developing — and adhering to — a training plan. Cycling coaches can map out a plan to help a rider train right, not just train more. Numerous resources are available online or at the bookstore. Those who prefer a more personal approach can choose from a host of certified cycling coaches in Central Oregon.

Give back: If you enjoy participating in cycling events in Central Oregon or taking on the area’s spectacular network of singletrack trails, consider giving back to the cycling community with your time.

Make 2011 the year to lend a hand at a Central Oregon Trail Alliance trail work day, or help out a charity event like the Tour des Chutes. In fact, most all bike races here are linked to a fundraiser, so pick one that is dear to your heart and volunteer your time.

Riding the trails and participating in your favorite event will be even sweeter experiences when you do.

Nevertheless, the two unbeaten teams that did make it here may actually be able to provide the kind of game that this stage has often hinted at but rarely delivered.

So how’s that for a concept?

Anyone who tries to tell you they had Auburn-Oregon as their preseason exacta is fibbing. Neither started in the Top 10. That hardly matters at this point. Have we mentioned that they average over a combined 90 points per?

Four years ago, second-year Oregon coach Chip Kelly was the offensive coordinator at FCS New Hampshire.

Two years ago, second-year Auburn coach Gene Chizik was going 2-10 in his second season at Iowa State. Seriously. And whatever happened to Turner Gill?

Not shockingly, Oregon has never won a national title, though the Ducks probably should have been allowed to play for one in 2001. Auburn has raised its finger once, and that was 53 seasons ago, when the Tigers couldn’t go bowling because of NCAA sanctions. Imagine that. And to be honest, they’ve mostly played in the shadows of in-state rival Alabama, last year’s champion, though they went 12-0

BCS championship: Key matchups A look at some of the matchups in tonight’s Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game: CAM NEWTON vs. OREGON’S DEFENSE Suggesting one or two players are pivotal to stopping the Auburn QB is pointless. The Heisman Trophy winner hasn’t played a poor game all season and does too many things well to pin the job of containing him on a few players. This will have to be a team effort

by Oregon. The Ducks play about 24 defensive players to keep them fresh, but it doesn’t make them any bigger. Only five players on Oregon’s two-deep defensive depth chart weigh more than the 250-pound Auburn quarterback, who ran for 1,409 yards, threw for 2,589 and accounted for 49 touchdowns.

Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti says his biggest concern about Newton — and he’s got plenty — is the junior’s ability to turn a well-defended play into a huge gain.

The teams that have slowed Newton a bit as a runner — Alabama in the first half, Mississippi State until the fourth quarter — managed to get multiple defenders around him quickly near the line of scrimmage. Defensive tackles Brandon Bair and Zac Clark need to get penetration and linebackers Casey Matthews and Spencer Paysinger need to get to Newton before he gets to them.

Of course, if Oregon puts all its attention on Newton, Auburn does have other dangerous ball carriers in Onterio McCalebb and Michael Dyer. Oh, and Newton is one of the best in the country at throwing it deep.

OREGON’S TEMPO vs. NICK FAIRLEY Auburn’s All-American defensive tackle has the potential to be the Ducks’ biggest problem, literally and figuratively. The 298-pounder is quick off the ball and light on his feet. Oregon’s offensive line is workmanlike and solid, but asking center Jordan Holmes and guards Carson York and C.E. Kaiser to handle Fairley

might be asking too much.

What the Ducks can do is wear out the big fella with the frenetic pace of their offense.

The Ducks had Oregon State’s All-American defensive tackle Stephen Paea gassed by the fourth quarter of their regular-season finale by making him chase plays to the edges, over and over.

When he started to drag, the Ducks ran right at him.

Auburn defensive coordinator Ted Roof says he thinks he can get about 65 plays out of Fairley. The Ducks run 79 plays per game from scrimmage. If the game is close in the fourth quarter, how much will Fairley have left in the tank?

DARRON THOMAS vs. AUBURN’S SECONDARY The Tigers rank 106th in the country in pass defense and 11th against the run. Sometimes stats can be deceiving. This isn’t one of those times. Fairley and the Tigers do a good job getting to quarterbacks (33 sacks) and holding the line, but receivers often run free in the secondary.

Can the Ducks take advantage of that obvious weakness? Oregon’s spread offense is run-heavy with tailbacks LaMichael James, the nation’s leading rusher, and Kenjon Barner. Thomas is a dual-threat quarterback who is dangerous when he keeps it on the option. And the Ducks do have talent at receiver in Jeff Maehl, D.J. Davis and Josh Huff, who also gets used a lot as a runner.

As a passer, Thomas’ numbers are similar to Newton’s (2,518 yards, 28 TDs and seven interceptions), but he hasn’t had more than 33 attempts in any game. Asking Thomas to throw it 40 times goes against Oregon’s tendency, but it might be the best way for the Ducks to attack Auburn — if Thomas is up to the task.

for ESPN, was part of an ESPN media briefing on Sunday in Scottsdale.

Because of his ties to UO, Bellotti stole the show from ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit, Erin Andrews and Jesse Palmer, who were also part of the briefing. Bellotti did not hold back on which team he was rooting for.

“I would like to see Oregon win,” said Bellotti, who still lives in Eugene.

“I think that’s not any secret. I have to say that or I can’t go home. I obviously have an affinity and a kinship with the Oregon program because I did recruit those young men and the coaches and everybody else. But just a lot of pride and a lot of pleasure and actually really a lot of excitement because I think it is going to be a great football game.”

Bellotti was head coach of the Ducks from 1995 through 2008. He moved on to become Oregon’s athletic director and Kelly was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach for the 2009 season. Bellotti stepped down as AD and joined ESPN in March of last year.

Bellotti said he recruited about 80 percent of the current Ducks’ roster,

but that he deserves “zero credit” for Oregon reaching the national title game.

“I didn’t coach anything this year,” he said. “I put these guys in place a couple years ago and they have done a great job of building on that.”

Bellotti, who arrived in the Phoenix area on Saturday, said it is a bit surreal to see his former team in the BCS National Championship Game. He said he saw Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas on Saturday.

“He came and gave me a hug and we talked a little bit,” Bellotti said of Thomas. “I’m not sure I planned this when I went to ESPN, but it is great that it has worked out this way.”

Kelly was asked Sunday if he believes the BCS system works for college football. The system selects the top two teams in the country for the title game via a complicated formula that includes human polls and computers.

“I got no idea, seriously,” Kelly said. “I

in 2004 and still got left out. Not this time.

Oregon, which was the best team the first half of the season, had one close call. And Cal had to bend the rules to accomplish that.

Auburn became the best team from late October on. The Tigers came from 24 down to win at Alabama, which doesn’t happen. They also rallied from a 17-point hole on Sept. 18 at Clemson to win in OT. A week later, they came from 13 back against South Carolina.

On Nov. 13, they spotted Georgia 14.

Somehow they kept finding a way, mostly because they had Cam Newton playing the role of Tim Tebow.

The eventual Heisman Trophy winner was an afterthought in his own media guide, where he’s listed among the team’s 31 newcomers after taking Blinn (Texas) Junior College to a national crown. If he’d remained at Florida, Urban Meyer might still be coaching. Heck, he might even be coaching in this game. Yet the reality is that for the first month of the season, Michigan’s Denard Robinson was the national newcomer generating the most hype.

In time, Newton grew into “the” storyline. And not just on the field. But recent BCS history hasn’t been kind to Heisman winners. Newton is the ninth this century to get to this game. Only Matt Leinart (2005) and Mark Ingram (last year) got the double.

Remember Sam Bradford? Troy

Smith? Jason White? Eric Crouch?

Heck, even Reggie Bush lost in that spot. Then he lost the award.

Newton understands that he would be the focal point even if his father hadn’t tried to sell his services to Mississippi State. It’s the way this stuff works.

“I’m very fortunate,” he said. “I have so many people here at Auburn that keep me levelheaded ... They find a way to keep me up and get me going again.

“I just wanted to compete for a job and help out any way I could.”

All he’s done is create magic, a highlight reel waiting to strike. By land or air. Chizik says that Newton is “a lot of fun” to coach. You think?

It’s almost enough to make you forget that Auburn’s defense doesn’t exactly resemble the 1985 Bears, especially in the secondary.

“A lot of people on this team go unnoticed,” Newton said. “It’s just that everyone’s eyes are on me. It’s kind of something each athlete wants ...

“It’s something so big. I think everything that Auburn represents is past due for something like this. We have a chance to do something great. We aren’t just playing for ourselves. We’re playing for so many people that didn’t have the opportunity.”

The Ducks, whose fastbreak offense would make Paul Westhead proud, are in a similar position.

And while running back LaMichael

James finished third in the Heisman voting, they aren’t household names outside the Pacific Northwest. Their uniforms get more attention. But here they are, and they do plan on showing up, just in case Newton isn’t Superman.

“We are getting pretty anxious,” said linebacker Casey Matthews. “I mean, it seems like it’s been forever since we played.

“We’re definitely going to bring pressure, hopefully forcing (Newton) to make bad decisions.”

Last January, Oregon lost in the Rose Bowl (26-17) to Ohio State and another mobile quarterback, Terrelle Pryor.

“Our problem wasn’t schematic,” Kelly explained. “We couldn’t get him to the ground. I think our defense, as a whole, is better than a year ago. Obviously, Auburn’s offense is different than Ohio State’s. So the similarities end with just their physical presence in how big and elusive they are.

“When you have this amount of time to prepare, it will come down to the way it should come down. Players on the field making plays. Whichever ones make the most will win.”

Nobody’s made more than Newton.

He has been the uncommon denominator, a highlight reel worth keeping your eyes on.

For a change, perhaps we will be able to say the same about the sport’s marquee pairing.

Coaches talk BCS system

don’t worry about things I have no control over. We’re playing against Cam Newton, and I’m more worried about trying to tackle him than straighten out what some people consider right, not right ... Just tell me what the rules of the game are and I will play it.”

Kelly did offer this, though, which could lead one to believe that he might not agree with the BCS system: “Let me put it this way: I don’t agree with the speed limit, but I’ve got to follow it.”

Auburn head coach Gene Chizik said the BCS has been correct more times than not. He said he does not know if there is a better formula for a college football postseason, but he knows there is not one perfect idea yet.

“I think there are so many speculations on how to do it with a playoff system, and how many teams do we use and how long does the season last and how many playoff games are there,” Chizik said.

D6 Monday, January 10, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

CYCLING INSIDER | MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDE ESSENTIALS The Bulletin offers information on essentials a Central Oregon cyclist may need as part of our weekly “Cycling Insider� feature, whose rotating topics include rider profiles, safety tips, local rides and gear reviews.

Hitting the trails on a mountain bike carrying nothing more than a water bottle and a cell phone is risky business.

Sure, you might get through a few rides without incident. But ride long enough, and eventually you will encounter a scenario in which you wished you were better equipped. Being prepared with the right tools and other ride essentials when setting off on the trail can ensure that minor mechanical breakdowns, hunger pangs or abrasions don’t ruin an otherwise enjoyable day riding Central Oregon singletrack.

Dan McGarigle is the owner of Pine Mountain Sports in Bend and is an avid mountain biker. Recently, he dumped out the contents of his ever-ready hydration pack for me and shared his thoughts on essentials to carry when mountain biking.

McGarigle encourages all mountain bikers to ride with a hydration pack. Without one, they are likely forced to leave something behind, he said. “It gives you the ability to carry things that you wouldn’t if you didn’t carry a hydration pack,� McGarigle observed. “It’s easy to carry water, a tube, a patch kit and a pump. If you run into a situation where you get a flat tire or you’re thirsty, you’re good to go.�

McGarigle said he recommends hydration packs that carry 70 to 100 ounces of water. “You’d rather have water and not need it than need water and not have it,� he said.

Once equipped with a hydration pack, riders can follow McGarigle’s suggestions

Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

The Osprey Wraptor 14 hydration pack, loaded with some the crucial items bikers should carry in their packs in order to enjoy the ride, at Pine Mountain Sports in Bend. for filling it with ride essentials: • Spare tube, tire levers, patch kit and hand pump (for repairing a punctured tire) • Basic first-aid kit • Food • Cell phone • Minitool or multitool (for basic repairs) McGarigle carries a ready-made first-

aid kit, which he said is designed to treat cuts and clean abrasions. The kit weighs less than a pound and runs $20 to $30.

It can be purchased at Pine Mountain Sports, or at just about any outdoor store. “I use my first-aid kit on myself at least once a year,� McGarigle said. “Whether for you or someone else, (first-aid kits)

can be pretty valuable when you need them. They’re great insurance policies.

A cell phone never replaces being prepared.�

McGarigle went on to say that cell phones do work on most trails in the Bend area, so toting one on a ride “is always a great idea.�

On his list of trail must-haves is a small, hand-held pump, used in lieu of singleuse CO2 cartridges for inflating bike tires. “With a pump, I can pump up a million tires,� he explained. “A CO2 cartridge, if you have two flats, now you’re walking with your bike.�

McGarigle noted that numerous such pumps are available on the market, but he added that he likes the Air Support MTB by Bontrager, which retails for $29.

A minitool or multitool is an invaluable gadget for making small repairs or mechanical adjustments out on the trail. The applications of these tools are numerous, including fixing broken chains, adjusting seat-post height, realigning bent handlebars, or adjusting brake levers, shifters and derailleurs. “Every four rides,� McGarigle said, “I end up pulling out my minitool and using it on my bike.�

McGarigle said he recommends that riders always carry food — whether it be energy gels or bars or a banana and bagel — even if you don’t think you’ll need it. “What if you run into a buddy who ran out of food?� McGarigle asked. “Or gosh forbid you go out and get injured and you’re stuck on a trail overnight? A little food goes a long way. “All the stuff I carry in my kit,� he continued, “I carry for myself and for every other trail user that I pass. If I’m bleeding, I need water, I need a patch kit — I’ve got that stuff. I leave it in my pack all the time.

So that way, when I grab my pack, all I need is to change out my water, throw in my cell phone and I’m gone.�

As McGarigle observed of these mountain biking essentials, each is relatively light and takes up little space.

And, he said, “the minute you need it, you’ll feel like a genius that you brought it with you.�

A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 4/15/2011. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012.

Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six- month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE" You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 3/16/2011 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent you paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT YOU MADE OR PREPAID RENT YOU PAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR YOUR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free.

A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 4/8/2011. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement.

The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing.

You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU A NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you a notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 3/9/2011 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENACY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT OR RENT YOU PREPAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER.
