Bend voters will decide on road upgrade tax Sawyer In May, Bend voters will get to choose whether they want a reduction in property tax bills or an overhaul of Reed Market Road as part of a city-sponsored $30 million street improvement bond initiative.

On Wednesday, Bend city councilors approved the final list of road construction projects they want to pay for using a property tax levy of $0.27 per $1,000 of total assessed value. For a $200,000 home, that would equal $54 a year.

Councilors chose to pursue the Reed Market corridor over two other options that either would have upgraded Empire Boulevard from 18th Street to 27th, or reconstructed Murphy Road from Third Street to 15th Street.

“It’s beyond just maintenance,” City Manager Eric King said about the street projects. “These funds are going toward improving safety, congestion and roads hat have just deteriorated so badly that they need to be reconstructed.”

SNOW DUMP: The aftermath

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

The Oregon Court of Appeals on Tuesday ruled the Deschutes County Circuit Court should not have held Tami Sawyer in contempt of court in November 2009 when she refused to produce documents and answer questions in a debtor examination.

It’s the latest twist in a lawsuit dating back to May 2008, when David and Laurie Redwine invested more than $800,000 with Starboard LLC, a company owned by then-real estate broker Tami Sawyer and her husband, Tami Sawyer former Bend Police Capt. Kevin Sawyer. In 2009, the Redwines received a judgment against the company for more than $900,000, and the Redwines and their attorneys conducted two debtor exams to determine where money went and what assets the company might have that could repay its debt.

During those debtor exams, the Sawyers refused to answer questions or produce documents, citing a pending federal investigation against them. In October 2009, Deschutes County Circuit Court Judge Stephen Forte held the couple in contempt of court for refusing to answer questions. The Sawyers were ordered to relinquish passports and Tami Sawyer was ordered to report to Deschutes County jail in November. She appealed and was granted a stay keeping her out of jail.

Gerry Lopez of Bend rides a snowboard through fresh powder at Mt. Bachelor Wednesday afternoon. It had been nearly a month since the last substantial snowfall, so Tuesday’s storm, which dropped more than 30 inches of snow in 24 hours, was cause for celebration.

Mt. Bachelor spokesman Andy Goggins said power outages briefly

halted the ski lifts Tuesday until auxiliary systems could be switched on. Mt. Bachelor crews were exploring the possibility of opening the Summit lift once the weather clears. “This is just perfect timing for the storm,” Goggins said. “It couldn’t have happened at a better time of the week heading into the Presidents Day weekend and WinterFest.”

Some still without electricity 20,000 homes had lost power

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

A day and a half after losing electricity at her home west of Redmond, Toni Low was itching for a hot shower.

One of approximately 20,000 Central Oregon addresses to lose power as a result of a heavier-than-expected snowstorm, the Lows’ home near Cline Falls has been partially heated by the gas stove in their living room since

early Tuesday. Kerosene lamps have provided light, and they’ve been running the generator on their motor home to keep their refrigerator and freezer running.

Because the power outage knocked out the electric pump that runs their well, Low took two five-gallon jugs to fill up at work Tuesday to keep her family supplied with water for drinking and cooking. Hot water will have to wait until their power is restored.

“We’re still in the adventure zone,” she said Wednesday afternoon. “It hasn’t quite gotten to the point of wow, this is getting old.”

Crews from Pacific Power and Central Electric Cooperative continued working Wednesday to repair damage to their lines and substations. By Wednesday evening, Pacific Power was reporting 101 customers still without electricity, while 190 Central Electric Cooperative customers were without power.

Pacific Power spokesman Tom Gauntt said 85 workers were reconnecting power on Wednesday, including linemen, tree trimmers and flaggers to direct traffic around damaged lines.

Cartel’s ambush on 2 U.S. agents a ‘game changer’

By Stewart M. Powell Houston Chronicle

WASHINGTON — A deadly ambush that targeted two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on a highway in Mexico was a “game changer” attack on the United States, provoking top officials to expand American involvement with Mexico to capture the fugitive gunmen.

Members of Congress, Obama administration officials and outside experts said the death of ICE Special Agent Jaime Zapata and the wounding of his partner would heighten Americans’ awareness of the violence fueled by the drug trade in Mexico and stir calls for retaliation.

The choreographed attack on ICE agents in an American SUV with diplomatic plates after they had identified themselves as Americans appeared to be the cartels’ first direct strike against U.S. law enforcement agents since 1985 when operatives kidnapped, tortured and killed DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in a bid to extract information about U.S. counter-drug operations.

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. — In the end, the humans on “Jeopardy!” surrendered meekly.

Facing certain defeat at the hands of a room-sized IBM computer on Wednesday, Ken Jennings, famous for winning 74 games in a row on the TV quiz show, acknowledged the obvious. “I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords,” he wrote on his screen, borrowing a line from a “Simpsons” episode.

Now the correct response to “This is the name of the computer champion on ‘Jeopardy!’ ” will be “What is Watson?”

For IBM, the showdown was not

merely a well-publicized stunt and a $1 million prize, but proof that the company has taken a big step toward a world in which intelligent machines will understand and respond to humans, and, perhaps inevitably, replace some of them.

Watson is a “question-answering machine” that artificial intelligence researchers have struggled with for decades — akin to the one on “Star Trek” that can understand and answer questions.

Researchers at IBM and other companies are already developing uses for Watson’s technologies that could have significant impact on the way doctors practice and consumers buy products.

Closing the achievement gap without widening a racial one

By Michael Winerip New York Times News Service

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — There is no more pressing topic in education today than closing the achievement gap, and there is no one in America who knows more about the gap than Ronald Ferguson.

Although he is a Harvard professor based in Cambridge, Mass., the 60-year-old Ferguson spends lots of time flying around the country visiting racially mixed public high schools.

Part of what he does is academic, measuring the causes of the gap by annually surveying the performance, behaviors and attitudes of up to 100,000 students.

And part is serving as a de facto educational social worker, meeting with students, faculty members and parents to explain what steps their schools can take to narrow the gap.

The gap is about race, of course, and it inevitably inflames passions. But there is something about Ferguson’s bearing — he is both big (6 foot 3) and softspoken — that gets people to listen. Morton Sherman, the Alexandria school superintendent, watched him defuse the anger at a meeting of 300 people. “He talks about these things in a professorial way, a kind way,” Sherman said. “It’s not about him.

He doesn’t try to be a rock star, although he is a rock star in this field.”

While he has a personal stake in closing the gap as an AfricanAmerican parent who has raised three boys, he does not get emotional in tense situations — he gets factual.

He is frequently quoted in the media, and in recent months, he has played a major role in four important educational stories: The Gates study on evaluating teachers (his research shows that when kids say a teacher is good, they usually know what they’re talking about); The Council of the Great City Schools study of the widening gap between white and black boys (12 percent of black fourth-grade boys were proficient in reading on a national test, compared with 38 percent of whites); a front-page story in The New York Times last year on the effectiveness of big high schools (at a time when small schools are in vogue); and as a member of the eight-person New York state panel that decided whether Cathleen Black should qualify for a waiver to be New York City’s chancellor (he won’t say how he voted).

“We in the black community — we — need to build stronger intellectual lives at home.”

DENVER — President Barack Obama often professes his desire to shake up public education while also working with teachers unions. But a question hangs over this week’s gathering of hundreds of labor leaders and school officials: Can he do both at the same time?

More than any of his predecessors, Republican or Democratic, Obama has pushed a reform agenda centered on teachers. He wants the good ones to earn more money and the bad ones to leave the profession. He wants test scores to count in evaluations. He wants personnel shake-ups at failing schools.

Accomplishing such goals often means confronting union rules that protect teacher tenure and pay scales based on seniority rather than student achievement. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Tuesday that labor and management can overcome hurdles through what he called “tough-minded collaboration.”

But some analysts say the administration’s quest for union support could dilute results.

“The political challenge is how do you do this without alienating an important part of your constituency?” said Frederick Hess of the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute.

You could end up with a civil war in the Democratic Party. That’s why what we’ve seen from the administration is a lot of two steps forward, one step back.”

At the start of the two-day conference in Denver, Duncan pushed further into politically sensitive terrain. He said schools and unions should rethink policies on who gets laid off during budget crises, an issue in many places.

Critics of unions say “last-in, firstout” rules too often force young teaching talent out of schools.

“My view is that we need to take a hard look at the impact of staffing rules, seniority and equity issues,” Duncan told union and school officials from more than 150 school systems.

Union leaders are in no rush to abandon seniority. but they said they are too often typecast as enemies of reform.

— Ronald Ferguson, researcher on America’s achievement gap And yet, as best he can remember — and he is a busy man with lots on his mind — he has never been the subject of a profile in the news media.

One reason may be that his views on the gap are too research-based and nuanced to accommodate in a sound bite.

He is not as famous as John Ogbu, the late African-born Berkeley professor who argued that the gap could be explained by the cultural behavior of African-Americans, like mocking hard-working classmates for “acting white.”

Nor is he as famous as Charles Murray, co-author of “The Bell Curve,” who suggested that the achievement gap is explained by inherited low intelligence.

Quantifying the gap Unlike Ogbu, an anthropology professor, and Murray, a political scientist, Ferguson has his doctorate in economics from MIT; he has been trained to quantify everything. From his surveys of students in dozens of upscale, racially mixed suburbs — including Evanston, Ill.; Maplewood, N.J.; and Shaker Heights, Ohio — he has calculated that the average grade of black students was C-plus, while white students averaged B-plus — the gap.

At the high school here, T.C. Williams — the setting of the movie “Remember the Titans” — he found that 55 percent of white girls reported having an A or A-minus average, compared with less than 20 percent of black girls and boys.

His research indicates that half the gap can be predicted by economics: Even in a typical upscale suburb, blacks are not as well-todo; 79 percent of blacks are in the bottom 50 percent financially, while 73 percent of whites are in the top 50 percent.

The other half of the gap, he has calculated, is that black parents on average are not as academically oriented in raising their children as whites. In an upscale suburb he surveyed, 40 percent of blacks owned 100 or more books, compared with 80 percent of whites. In first grade, the percentage of black and white parents reading to their children daily was about the same; by fifth grade, 60 to 70 percent of whites still read daily to their children, compared with 30 to 40 percent of blacks.

He also works with teachers to identify biases. For instance, black children are less likely to complete homework because they are lazy. His research indicates that blacks and whites spend the same amount of time on homework, but blacks are less likely to complete it. “It’s not laziness,” he says. “It’s a difference in skills.”

How these messages get delivered is crucial. “I don’t want to be another one of those people lecturing black parents,” he says. “I tell them we in the black commu-

nity — we — need to build stronger intellectual lives at home.”

He recalls speaking to a primarily white group at Georgia State University. Afterward, a black parent came up to him. “He told me, ‘I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m not comfortable with you saying it in front of this audience,’ ” Ferguson said. “And I said, ‘It’s not ideal, but this was an opportunity to get these things to you.’ ”

From an early age, he wanted to help Ronald Franklin Ferguson grew up the eldest of five boys in a blue-collar section of Cleveland. Getting a good education was a top priority for his family. His grandmother and mother were both public school teachers; six of the seven children in his father’s family attended college.

Two of his brothers picked careers that give back to the community. One is a rural doctor, the other works with children in the Fergusons’ old neighborhood, using karate lessons to instill good values. The two other brothers had drug problems, and one died at age 39. Ferguson is raising the living brother’s son.

Ferguson was not a typical child. “When I was 8, I wanted to know what’s a good job to help people,” he said. “The person I asked said, ‘City planner.’ So anyone who asked, I said, ‘I want to be a city planner when I grow up.’ ” In 1986, he did his first educational study, and by the late 1990s, his work focused on the achievement gap. The first district he worked with was Shaker Heights. After the student newspaper published an article contrasting test scores of white and black students, all hell broke loose. Ferguson was invited in to help calm the waters.

He is a senior lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the Kennedy School of Government. In 2005, he was a founder of the Achievement Gap Initiative at Harvard.

Surprising data He is often surprised by what the numbers tell him. He was compiling a list of test scores for special-education students when he noticed that the biggest school in Massachusetts, with more than 4,000 students, Brockton High, also had the largest gains in English test scores by minority students. “Just popped out at me,” he said.

At meetings, he will turn passive-aggressive to move his agenda forward.

Shawn Thorpe, the T.C. Williams academic principal, suggested that teachers be given a list of Ferguson’s suggestions so they could comment on those they liked and didn’t like.

“I don’t do that,” Ferguson said. “You get so much input, it’s like a Tower of Babel.”

Afghan universities struggling for funding

By Josh Boak The Washington Post

KABUL — Already coping with war, poverty and corruption, Afghan colleges are struggling under a policy that forbids them from charging tuition.

The law also restricts public universities from having endowments, leaving the schools dependent on an Afghan government and U.S.led coalition largely focused on confronting the Taliban.

“Security is a priority,” said A. Quadir Amiryar, senior adviser to the Ministry of Higher Education. “Higher education is a luxury, given the configuration of the government.”

With limited funds, universities cannot graduate the needed supply of civil servants and engineers who keep roads paved and power plants humming, said Afghan officials, academics and development experts. All 22 public universities and education institutes operated on a combined $35 million last year, which represents about 1.5 percent of the Afghan government’s budget.

Separate funds come from outside the Afghan bureaucracy, most notably through the U.S. Agency for International Development, which has paid for the construction of dormitories and teacher training.

In its budget request for this year, USAID asked for $249 million to cover higher-education projects worldwide, including $20 million for Afghanistan. The greatest share of the request, $70 million, was for Pakistan.

The agency spends close to $3 billion a year in Afghanistan. It has financed projects for health care, farming and infrastructure, all of which can have a broader and more immediate impact than bolstering universities.

“We’re at the level we think we can provide in terms of a balance of our priorities,” said a USAID official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid offending the Afghan partners.

T S Unrest spreads in Middle East Libya latest Arab country to revolt

By Renee Schoof McClatchy-Tribune News Service

By Neil Macfarquhar New York Times News Service

Protests convulsed half a dozen countries across the Middle East on Wednesday, with tens of thousands of people turning out in Bahrain to challenge the monarchy, a sixth day of running street battles in Yemen, continued strikes over long-suppressed grievances in Egypt and a demonstrator’s funeral in Iran turning into a brief tug of war between the govInside • Logan attack ernment and its opponents. shows plight Even in of women, heavily policed Page A4 Libya, pock• Labor protests ets of dissent emerged in the in Egypt, main square of Page A4 Benghazi, with people calling for an end to the 41-year rule of Moammar Gadhafi. Iraq, accustomed to sectarian conflict, got a dose of something new: a fiery protest in the eastern city of Kut over unemployment, sporadic electricity and government corruption.

In Manama, the capital of the Persian Gulf island nation of Bahrain, hundreds of police officers used tear gas and percussion grenades early today to try to empty a central square of protesters. An opposition member of Parliament said two protesters had been killed.

In Libya, Iran and Iraq, riot police officers also confronted the demonstrators on Wednesday — three of them were killed in Kut, Iraq, when security forces opened fire.

From northern Africa to the Persian Gulf, governments appeared to flounder over just how to outrun mostly peaceful movements, spreading erratically like lava erupting from a volcano, with no predictable end. The unrest has been inspired partly by grievances unique to each country, but many shared a new confidence, bred in Egypt and Tunisia, that a new generation could challenge unresponsive authori-

Leaders fell back on habitual, ineffective formulas. A ban on strikes announced by the weekold military government in Egypt was ignored. The Yemeni president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, called his Bahraini counterpart, King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, to commiserate about the region falling victim to “foreign agendas,” according to the state-run SABA news agency.

Changing populations “There are schemes aimed at plunging the region into chaos and violence targeting the nation’s security and the stability of its countries,” the news agency quoted Saleh as telling the king.

The growing population throughout the 3,175-mile zone from Tehran to Tangier, Morocco, have changed too much, analysts believe, for the old systems to work.

“There is a contradiction between educating a lot of your population and creating a whitecollar middle class and then ruling with an iron hand,” said Juan Cole, a professor of Middle

East studies at the University of Michigan.

In Bahrain, tens of thousands of people, virtually all Shiites, poured into Pearl Square on Wednesday night. They demanded changes in a system that they say has discriminated against them for decades in housing, jobs and basic civil rights.

The scene had seemed more like a picnic earlier in the day, complete with deliveries of Kentucky Fried Chicken, but the crowd swelled at night, tying up roads as far as the eye could see and creating a peaceful celebration of empowerment unparalleled for the country’s Shiites, who make up about 70 percent of Bahrain’s 600,000 citizens.

Egypt’s death toll But early today, hundreds of riot officers surrounded the square, firing tear gas containers and percussion grenades on the demonstrators. At least two people died as the officers aggressively emptied the square, according to an opposition lawmaker, Ibrahim Mattar, Reuters reported.

In Egypt, the military govern-

ment issued its initial estimate of the death toll during the 18 days leading up to Mubarak’s resignation. At least 365 civilians died, not including police officers and prisoners, said the health minister, Ahmed Sameh Farid.

Despite two warnings in three days from the government to halt protests and strikes, hundreds of airport employees protested inside the terminals at Cairo International Airport for higher wages and health benefits, The Associated Press reported. Flights were not disrupted.

Textile workers also walked out, and a group of 60 women and community groups condemned a panel that was appointed to rewrite the constitution for failing to include a single woman.

In Iran, students were thwarted in their attempt to hold a separate memorial service for Saane Zhaleh, an art student who was killed Monday during the protests, the largest in more than a year.

In Yemen, police officers deployed in large numbers around Sana, the capital, and in Aden and the provincial town of Taiz in an attempt to end six days of street battles.

Obama ordered report N. Korean leader’s on unrest in Arab world son said to be given New York Times News Service WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama ordered his advisers last August to produce a secret report on unrest in the Arab world, which concluded that without sweeping political changes, countries from Bahrain to Yemen were ripe for popular revolt, administration officials said Wednesday.

Obama’s order, known as a presidential study directive, identified likely flashpoints and solicited proposals for how the administration could push for political change in countries with autocratic rulers who are also valuable allies of the United States, these officials said.

The 18-page classified report, they said, grapples with a problem that has bedeviled the White House’s approach toward Egypt and other countries in recent days: how to balance U.S. strategic interests and the desire to avert broader instability against the democratic demands of the protesters.

Administration officials did not say how the report related to intelligence analysis of the Middle East, which the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Leon Panetta, acknowledged in testimony before Congress, needed to better identify “triggers” for uprisings in countries like Egypt.

Balding at 20 linked to higher prostate cancer risk

By Eva von Schaper and Rob Waters Bloomberg News

Men who show signs of balding at age 20 are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer in their lifetimes as those who keep their hair or lose it later, according to a French study.

Neither balding at 30 or 40 years of age, nor the pattern of hair loss, pointed to any increased risk of developing the disease, the researchers wrote in the medical journal Annals of Oncology.

Early hair loss wasn’t associated with an earlier onset of prostate cancer or a more severe course of the disease, the study found.

Researchers have long known that men who more readily con-

Understanding that relationship better may help doctors identify men who may be helped by cancer screening, said Michael Yassa, a radiation oncologist who helped conduct the study.

Studies have shown that men who have elevated levels of the protein measured by the PSA test don’t always have prostate cancer. Some may end up getting unnecessary procedures and surgeries based on the test results.

Those findings have raised questions about whether PSA testing is useful and which men should get the test.

No. 2 defense post

By Mark McDonald New York Times News Service

SEOUL, South Korea — At a time when dynastic rule is under attack in popular uprisings throughout the Middle East, the heir apparent to the North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il smoothly acceded to a senior position on the National Defense Commission, the country’s most powerful body, according to a report on Wednesday by a leading newspaper in Seoul.

The newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo, citing an unidentified source in North Korea, said Kim’s youngest son, Kim Jong Un, had cemented his position as the second most powerful person in the country when he was named recently to the post of vice chairman of the defense commission, which is led by his father.

The move was announced at a mass gathering of military leaders and security officials on Feb. 10, according to the newspaper’s source, but emerged only Wednesday, as the 69th birthday festivities for the elder Kim were in

full swing in the nation’s capital, Pyongyang.

Yet the events were marred by the leader’s failure to follow through on a promise of a day’s food to all of the country’s 24 million people, The Associated Press reported. The North, chronically short of food, is reportedly slipping into a deep crisis, and defectors cited by a South Korean website, Open Radio for North Korea, said the government could not afford to deplete its already meager stockpiles.

South Korean government officials could not confirm Kim Jong Un’s promotion, and the North Korean news agency had made no mention of it by Wednesday afternoon.

Kim Jong Un, who is believed to be 28 or 29, appeared publicly for the first time at a meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party last fall. He was given the rank of four-star general and received two significant political posts: membership on the party’s Central Committee and a vice chairmanship of its Central Military Committee, which is also overseen by his father.

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans this week added amendments to a spending bill that would knock out environmental protections for air, water and wilderness.

Among the amendments, which fill hundreds of pages, are ones that would block the Environmental Protection Agency from limiting hazardous pollutants at power plants, from studying whether the farm herbicide atrazine has health hazards and from tightening rules on toxic coal ash. Many of the amendments would strip the agency of funds to carry out pollution restrictions that industries have fought.

Tea party backers in the House of Representatives support the provisions. They could win support from other Republicans and pass the GOP-majority chamber this week. The Senate, where Democrats have an edge, is likely to block most of them. Even

so, the amendments reveal how far many House Republicans are prepared to go in trying to stop environmental regulations.

A bipartisan poll released Wednesday suggested that a large majority of Americans strongly oppose such efforts, particularly where air pollution is concerned.

The survey, sponsored by the American Lung Association and conducted by two polling companies, one Republican and one Democratic, found that 69 percent of voters favored the EPA updating the Clean Air Act to put stricter limits on air pollution, 26 percent opposed it and 5 percent had no opinion or didn’t answer.

An amendment by Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, would block money for the EPA to enforce a new rule that will cut toxic emissions of arsenic, cadmium, lead and other pollutants from cement plants. The toxic pollutants are linked to cancer, respiratory illness and other health hazards.

The rule also would reduce emissions of soot, which is linked to heart attacks and lung diseases, including asthma.

States line up to grab rail funds

By Alex Leary St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times

WASHINGTON — Anyone want $2.4 billion? New York does. California, too.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s decision Wednesday to reject federal high-speed rail funding dealt a significant blow to one of President Barack Obama’s domestic priorities and set off a scramble by other states to catch an unexpected windfall.

“Mr. President, let’s start in New York,” said New York Rep. Louise Slaughter, who quickly fired off a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood asking for him to redirect Florida’s money to the Empire State.

The newly elected Republican governors in Wisconsin and Ohio said no thanks to Obama’s rail money late last year, expressing similar doubts as Scott has.

Their loss was others’ gain.

The combined $1.2 billion was redirected to other states in December — Florida got $342 million.

The initial $8 billion in stimulus funding drew intense competition. The Department of Transportation received 259 applications from 37 states and Washington, D.C., totaling $57 billion.

The other major recipients of high-speed money to date are California, Washington, Illinois, New York and states

along the New England corridor.

There is still a chance Florida’s project can be salvaged. Lawmakers in Washington are working on a way to bypass the governor. But if those hurdles cannot be overcome, Florida’s billions will go elsewhere.

“While we are aware of the resistance among some to spend money in our current economic environment, the truth is that only bold investments in our nation’s infrastructure will help us build a foundation for a stronger future, compete in the global economy and improve national security,” Slaughter said in her letter to LaHood.

California was eager to show off its willingness, too. “We know how to use money reallocated from other states — we’ve already won more than half the money reallocated from Ohio and Wisconsin,” said Rachel Wall, spokeswoman for the California highspeed rail authority.

The state already has $5.5 billion to begin construction in 2012 and estimates it will create 100,000 jobs over five years.

In Washington state, Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire said, “If other states don’t want this funding, Washington state is ready to put it to work.”

Research links human action to Earth’s rise in precipitation

By Justin Gillis New York Times News Service

An increase in heavy precipitation that has afflicted many countries is at least partly a consequence of human influence on the atmosphere, climate scientists reported in a new study.

In the first major paper of its kind, the researchers used elaborate computer programs that simulate the climate to analyze whether the rise in severe rainstorms, heavy snowfalls and similar events could be explained by natural variability in the atmosphere. They found that it could not, and that the increase made sense only when the computers factored in the effects of greenhouse gases released by human activities.

Storm Continued from A1 Tree service operator Wade Fagen had more work than he could handle. With trees down all over the region, Fagen spent his day racing from place to place, removing downed and damaged limbs and trees and grinding them up in an oversized wood chipper towed behind his truck.

Fagen said local trees would be stronger if heavy snow were a more common occurrence.

Much of the damage seen Tuesday could have been avoided, he said, had property owners pruned their trees to cut back weak, long limbs.

“It’s wind-induced, it’s snowinduced, and it’s human-induced,” Fagen said.

Hardy Hanson, Bend’s street manager and the head of the city’s snow removal efforts, said he called on private contractors

As reflected in previous studies, the likelihood of extreme precipitation on any given day rose by about 7 percent over the last half of the 20th century, at least for the land areas of the Northern Hemisphere for which sufficient figures are available to do an analysis.

The principal finding of the new study is “that this 7 percent is well outside the bounds of natural variability,” said Francis Zwiers, a Canadian climate scientist who took part in the research. The paper is being published in today’s edition of the journal Nature.

The paper covers climate trends from 1951 to 1999 and therefore does not include any analysis of last year’s extreme precipitation.

to assist city employees for a second consecutive day Wednesday.

Hanson said the city’s budget for snow removal contractors is largely exhausted at this point, but public works would be able to tap its contingency funds if another storm rolls through.

As usually happens after a large snowstorm, the public works office has been inundated with calls from local residents upset with the berms of snow the city’s plows deposit along the front of their driveways, Hanson said. Keeping driveways cleared is impractical, he said.

“I understand people’s concerns, but grab a shovel — that’s about all I can say,” Hanson said.

“With five or 10 minutes with a shovel, you can usually clear enough room to get your car through.”

EGYPT

Logan attack unveils women’s plight

By Karin Laub and Maggie Hyde The Associated Press

CAIRO — For a moment, it seemed Egypt wasn’t just throwing off its political shackles. Women long suffering from the scourge of sexual harassment reported Cairo’s Tahrir Square, command central of the uprising, had become a safe zone free of the groping and leering common in their country.

Now the reported attack on a senior U.S. television correspondent during the final night of the 18-day revolt has shown that the threat of violence against women in Egypt remains very real.

CBS has said its chief foreign correspondent, Lara Logan, went through a “brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating” by a frenzied mob in the square during Friday’s celebrations of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s ouster.

Logan was released from a U.S. hospital and was recovering Wednesday in her Washington-area home, as her story raised issues often left unaddressed in the Middle East.

On Wednesday, a White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity said President Barack Obama had spoken with Logan on the telephone.

An Egyptian security official said he was unaware of any investigation into the attack on Logan. He noted that police were pulled off the streets Jan. 28, three days af-

photographers.

Logan was ultimately saved by a group of Egyptian women and about 20 soldiers. After reconnecting with her crew, she returned to the U.S. on Saturday.

Egyptian women’s rights campaigners now worry that the reprieve they experienced during the uprising was a fluke, and that their society will quickly revert to oppressive social mores that leave women vulnerable to sexual violence, with little recourse.

Women in Egypt — and in many areas of the Arab world

— are still afraid to report sexual assault or harassment, fearing they and their families will be stigmatized, said Medine Ebeid of Egypt’s New Woman Foundation.

The killing of women by male relatives for perceived violations of a strict moral code are often either covered up by the families or the assailants, if prosecuted, face light sentences.

Sexual harassment remains widespread in Egypt, and even women covered up by veils and long robes in strict Islamic dress say they are not immune.

By Kareem Fahim CAIRO — Egyptian workers and the country’s military chiefs squared off again on Wednesday as strikes and labor protests spread to the Cairo airport and Egypt’s largest textile factory, despite pleas by the military for people to get back to work.

Economists have warned that the labor unrest is deepen-

Sawyer Continued from A1 On Dec. 30, the Oregon Court of Appeals heard arguments from both sides, and the appeal was granted Tuesday.

In its 10-page opinion, the appellate court found that Tami Sawyer’s fear of self-incrimination was real.

For example, Sawyer refused to explain her past and present connection to Starboard LLC. “By answering that question, Sawyer risked disclosing the nature, duration and degree of her involvement with and authority (if any) over the affairs of Starboard — evidence that might well be used in a future criminal proceeding to establish her responsibility for the activities that were under investigation by the FBI and the IRS,” the opinion states.

As a result, the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that the trial court had been wrong to hold Sawyer in contempt, and reversed the court’s decision.

“We, like the trial court, appreciate that plaintiffs have a real and valid interest in ex-

ing an already catastrophic financial crisis and scaring off foreign investors. At the same time, the ruling Supreme Military Council has made increasingly desperate pleas to the workers and their leaders to end the strikes.

On Wednesday, cell phone users in Egypt received text messages from the military exhorting the workers to do the right thing.

“Some of the sectors organizing protests, despite the return to nor-

mal life, are delaying our progression,” one of the messages said.

A labor movement that was fragmented and hemmed in by the Mubarak government exploded once the police state collapsed. In part, the strikes are an effort by workers to catch up on wages that have been eaten away by inflation. In some places, the strikes seemed to reflect opportunism, as people all over the country wonder what the revolu-

tion can do for them.

But they also seem to underscore the growing confidence of workers whose activism in recent years — despite a ban on strikes and the formation of independent unions — served as a critical root of the revolution. The workers’ role grew in the days before President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, as strikes involving thousands of workers spread across the country.

ecuting their judgment against Starboard. Nor are we unmindful of their frustrations in being constrained in that effect, at least so long as Sawyer’s purported criminal involvement with Starboard remains unresolved,” the opinion states.

But, it continues, as long as there’s a possibility that criminal charges loom, Tami Sawyer maintains a right to avoid self-incrimination.

Tami Sawyer declined to comment, instead faxing a copy of a November 2002 article in The Bulletin about Forte’s election to the judge’s seat. The article features a photo of Forte hugging Martin Hansen, the Redwines’ attorney. Sawyer’s attorney, Marc Blackman, did not return calls for comment. Kevin Sawyer remains in contempt of court because he did not appeal the judge’s ruling.

In an e-mail, David Redwine did not address the appeals court decision except to say that in an affidavit in another case, Tami Sawyer “freely addressed facts about her relationship with Starboard without invoking her 5th Amendment privilege.”

Hansen said he believed the court took a broad approach to preventing self-incrimination, which he said was not surprising.

“But first of all, the contempt

for Kevin (Sawyer) stands, and you saw the court’s sympathetic to the Redwines’ frustration and that’s certainly mindful,” he said.

“They could have set aside Kevin’s (contempt of court ruling) but they did not. So now I guess we just wait and see where the federal prosecution goes.”

The Sawyers were indicted and arraigned in a Eugene federal court in November on 15 charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud and false statement to a financial institution. Tami Sawyer is also charged with six counts of money laundering and Kevin Sawyer is charged in two of those counts. They’re expected to go to trial in December.

The federal indictment alleges that over five years the couple used investor money to pay for

personal property, to fund their other companies and ventures and to pay personal expenses, including cars, credit cards and the construction of a vacation home in Mexico.

Hansen said the Redwines will not be able to conduct further debtor exams during the federal prosecution.

“We’ll have to see how it shakes out of the federal prosecution,” he said.

Teens ambivalent about sex before marriage, report says

By James D. Davis Sun Sentinel

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A new survey shows that 61 percent of American teens want to be virgins at marriage, yet 34 percent have little problem with sex before marriage.

Even among those who valued virginity, 20 percent had tried “sexual touching” and 15 percent said they’d already had sex, says the national survey by OneHope,

Jeopardy!

Continued from A1 “Cast your mind back 20 years and who would have thought this was possible?” said Edward Feigenbaum, a Stanford University computer scientist and a pioneer in the field.

In its “Jeopardy!” project, IBM researchers were tackling a game that requires not only encyclopedic recall, but the ability to untangle convoluted and often opaque statements, a modicum of luck, and quick, strategic button pressing.

The contest, which was taped in January here at the company’s T.J. Watson Research Laboratory before an audience of IBM executives and company clients, played out over three evenings.

At the end of the first day, Watson was in a tie with Brad Rutter, another ace human player, at $5,000 each, with Jennings trailing with $2,000.

But on Tuesday, Watson went on a tear. By night’s end, Watson had a commanding lead with a total of $35,734, compared with Rutter’s $10,400 and Jennings’ $4,800.

But victory was not cemented until late in the third match, when Watson was in Nonfiction. “Same category for $1,200,” it said in a manufactured tenor, and lucked into a Daily Double.

Jennings grimaced.

Even later in the match, however, had Jennings won another key Daily Double it might have come down to Final Jeopardy, IBM researchers acknowledged.

The final tally was $77,147 to Jennings’ $24,000 and Rutter’s $21,600.

More than anything, the contest was a vindication for the academic field of computer science, which began with great promise in the 1960s with the vision of creating a thinking machine and which became the laughingstock of Silicon Valley in the 1980s, when a series of heavily funded startup companies went bankrupt.

A memorable mistake Despite its intellectual prowess, Watson was by no means omniscient. On Tuesday evening during Final Jeopardy, the category was U.S. Cities and the clue was: “Its largest airport is named for a World War II hero; its secondlargest for a World War II battle.”

Watson drew guffaws from many in the television audience when it responded “What is Toronto?????”

The string of question marks indicated that the system had very low confidence in its response, IBM researchers said, but because it was Final Jeopardy, it was forced to give a response. The machine did not suffer much damage. It had wagered just $947 on its result.

“We failed to deeply understand what was going on there,” said David Ferrucci, an IBM researcher who led the development of Watson. “The reality is that there’s lots of data where the title is U.S. cities and the answers are countries, European cities, people, mayors. Even though it says U.S. cities, we had very little confidence that that’s the distin-

a Pompano Beach, Fla.,-based Christian mission organization.

“My reading is, ‘Being a virgin until marriage is right for me, but it may not be right for everyone,’ ” OneHope’s Chad Causey said.

“It’s the categorical rightness that has gone.”

That gibes with another finding: 65 percent of teens said truth is relative.

Teens showed ambivalence toward traditional families as well:

82 percent believe God intended marriage to last a lifetime, yet 76 approve of divorce when kids are involved. Half consider an unmarried man and woman a family.

Causey, vice president of global ministries for OneHope, said the results make more sense when viewed in clusters. For instance, youths who said they want to marry as virgins agreed that marriage should be for life, and they tended to disapprove of divorce.

First came the machine that defeated a chess champion Before there was Watson, there was Deep Blue.

In 1997, Deep Blue, another computer built by IBM, defeated the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, in a six-game match.

At the time, it was considered a stunning achievement and a significant step forward in the field of artificial intelligence. Some people said that a new era would be ushered in, one in which computers would perform many tasks — such as air traffic control — that it once seemed only humans could do. That era has not quite materialized.

But almost 14 years later, chess programs running on an average desktop computer can play better than Deep Blue, making its victory no longer seem as implausible. And while the research that went into making Deep Blue has not itself transformed society, the lessons from designing and building it have had practical applications, said Murray Campbell, one of Deep Blue’s developers, who still works at IBM. Playing chess was a “deep computing” problem, Campbell said, the kind that involve processing and analyzing large amounts of data. Based on what it learned from Deep Blue, IBM created a Deep Computing Institute to analyze and solve complex computing problems, like those posed

guishing feature.”

The researchers also acknowledged that the machine had benefited from the “buzzer factor.”

Both Jennings and Rutter are accomplished at anticipating the light that signals it is possible to “buzz in,” and can sometimes get in with virtually zero lag time.

The danger is to buzz too early, in which case the contestant is penalized and “locked out” for roughly a quarter of a second.

Watson, on the other hand, does not anticipate the light, but has a weighted scheme that allows it, when it is highly confident, to buzz in as quickly as 10 milliseconds, making it very hard for humans to beat. When it was less confident, it buzzed more slowly. In the second round, Watson beat the others to the buzzer in 24 out of 30 Double Jeopardy questions.

“I had a great time, and I would do it again in a heartbeat,” said Jennings. “It’s not about the results; this is about being part of the future.”

Next up? Medical field For IBM, the future will happen very quickly, company executives said. Today it plans to announce that it will collaborate with Columbia University and the University of Maryland to create a physician’s assistant service that will allow doctors to query a cybernetic assistant. The company also plans to work with

by credit card transactions, telephone call centers and weather analysis.

What the researchers who created Deep Blue did not even try to do was to develop a system that could really identify, parse and mimic human behavior. “We didn’t know what to do with language and speech and vision,” Campbell said. “It was so hard.”

Where Deep Blue left off is where Watson picks up. “Watson is finally tackling these real-world issues,” said Campbell. “It is tackling it head-on and not trying to avoid it.”

Part of what makes that possible is that Watson is much more powerful than Deep Blue. It has 2,800 microprocessors; Deep Blue had 30 general-purpose processors and 480 custom ones. Watson can calculate up to 80 teraflops, or 80 trillion operations, a second, which is about 100 times faster than Deep Blue.

Still, what Watson does is not all that dissimilar from what Deep Blue did, Campbell said.

“We don’t claim that Watson is thinking in the way people think. It is working on a computational problem at its core.”

Deep Blue never played again. Part of it is now in the Smithsonian.

“We’d accomplished what we set out to do,” Campbell said.

Nuance Communications Inc. to add voice-recognition to the physician’s assistant, possibly making the service available in as little as 18 months.

“I have been in medical education for 40 years and we’re still a very memory-based curriculum,” said Dr. Herbert Chase, a professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University who is working with IBM on the physicians’ assistant. “The power of Watson-like tools will cause us to reconsider what it is we want students to do.”

IBM executives also said they are in discussions with a major consumer electronics retailer to develop a version of Watson, named after IBM’s founder, Thomas Watson, that would be able to interact with consumers on a variety of subjects like buying decisions and technical support.

Ferrucci sees none of the fears that have been expressed by theorists and science fiction writers about the potential of computers to usurp humans.

“People ask me if this is HAL,” he said, referring to the computer in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.” “Hal’s not the focus.

The focus is on the computer on Star Trek, where you have this intelligent information-seek dialogue, where you can ask followup questions, and the computer can look at all the evidence and tries to ask follow-up questions.

That’s very cool.”

Carney debuts as press secretary

By Michael A. Memoli Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — As he first stood at the lectern in the James Brady Press Briefing Room, Jay Carney let out a big, nervous sigh.

When his first televised briefing was over, he joked, “It was better than I ever could have imagined.”

In the intervening 53-plus minutes, the new White House press secretary handled the usual grab bag of questions without major incident as he eased in to the most conspicuous part of what is one of the most high-profile jobs in Washington.

Carney replaced Robert Gibbs as the lead White House mouthpiece Monday, and his debut press briefing took place Wednesday. And there was no shortage of major issues facing the Obama administration that Carney was asked to speak on, including the new budget and the growing government protests in the Middle East.

As was to be expected, Carney also faced questions about himself and his view on his new role. The former Time magazine Washington bureau chief acknowledged his “unique position within the White House,” and “not just because I’m a former journalist.”

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney speaks during his debut daily briefing at the White House.

“I work to promote the president and the messages he’s trying to convey to the American people.

But I also work with the press to try to help you do your jobs,” he explained.

As mainland shivers, Hawaii basks in tourism’s glow

By Jesse McKinley New York Times News Service

HONOLULU — One recent afternoon, as the temperature in their native Nashville dipped to a slim 7 degrees, Blythe Grant and Jordan Tlumak walked along the beach at Waikiki with beers in hand and smiles on their faces.

“We just left three inches of snow in Nashville,” said Grant, 26. “I was pretty pumped to get on the plane.”

Tlumak, his friend, nodded.

“Nashville just doesn’t know how to handle that.”

Grant and Tlumak are not the only mainlanders to be gloating about their good luck.

Hawaiian tourism officials, hotel operators and travel agents — battered by several years of slumping sales — have recently seen a marked increase in travel to the islands. And while there are various theories as to why — including favorable currency exchange rates attracting foreign visitors, and Obama on the beach — what most people can agree on is that the rotten weather in much of the rest of the country, including a series of brutal snowstorms in the Midwest

and on the East Coast, has been good news in Hawaii.

“We talk to these people every day, and they’re miserable,” said Amy Terada, the vice president of marketing for Pleasant Holidays, a tour operator in Westlake Village, Calif. “They’re saying, ‘Just get me out of here.’ ”

Flights up 10 percent According to the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau, domestic air passenger arrivals to the islands jumped more than 10 percent in January compared with the year before. Those numbers were even more striking the week of Jan. 24, when an epic blizzard prepared to bear down on the Midwest. Arrivals then jumped 15.6 percent compared with the same period in 2010.

And while bad weather has always meant good sales in warmweather climes, this year’s uptick was sorely needed in Hawaii.

The state’s tourism trade has been battered by the recession, the discontinuation of flights by two beleaguered airlines and a somewhat vague sense that luxury travel — for business or pleasure — was gauche in a time of national economic pain.

“There were comments coming out of Washington, saying, ‘If you’re getting bailout money, you better not be headed to Hawaii,’ ” said David Carey, president and chief executive of Outrigger Enterprises, which operates a chain of hotels in Hawaii.

But that guilt seems to be easing, said Jerome Agrusa, a professor of travel industry management at Hawaii Pacific University.

“People are tired of feeling bad,” he said, “and have decided to enjoy life.”

David Uchiyama, the vice president of brand management for the Hawaii Tourism Authority, a state agency, said officials had worked hard to improve air access to the state, particularly after ATA and Aloha Air — both of which flew to Honolulu — folded within days of each other in 2008. Those failures cost the state thousands of incoming passengers a week, he said, though several other airlines have increased or initiated service.

Hawaii has also been helped by security troubles in other warm destinations, like drugravaged Mexico, Uchiyama said, and the strength of some foreign currencies against the dollar, including the Japanese yen.

MADISON, Wis. — As four game wardens awkwardly stood guard, protesters, scores deep, crushed into a corridor leading to the Governor’s Office here on Wednesday, their screams echoing through the Capitol: “Come out, come out, wherever you are!”

Behind closed doors, Scott Walker, the Republican who has been governor for about six weeks, calmly described his intent to forge ahead with the plans that had set off the uprising: He wants to require public workers to pay more for their health insurance and pensions, effectively cutting the take-home pay of many by about 7 percent.

He also wants to weaken most public-sector unions by sharply curtailing their collective bargaining rights, limiting talks to the subject of basic wages.

Walker said he had no other options, since he is facing a deficit of $137 million in the current state budget and the prospect of a $3.6 billion hole in the coming two-year budget.

“For us, it’s simple,” said Walker, whose family home was surrounded by angry workers this week, prompting the police to close the street. “We’re broke.”

For months, state and local officials around the country have tackled their budget problems by finding trims here and there, apologetically resorting to layoffs, and searching for accounting moves to limp through one more year.

Events in Wisconsin this week, though, are a sign of something new: No more apologies, no halfmeasures. Given the dire straits of budgets around the country, other state leaders may take similarly drastic steps with state workers, pensions and unions.

“I’m sure we’re going to hear more from other states where Republican governors are trying to heap the entire burden of the financial crisis on public employees and public employees unions,” said William B. Gould IV, a labor law professor at Stanford University and a former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board.

“I think it’s quite possible that if

Ginny Fleck attends a rally to protest Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill, at the Brown County Courthouse in Green Bay on Wednesday. they’re successful in doing this, a lot of other Republican governors will emulate this,” Gould added.

Here, in a state with a long history of powerful unions, Walker’s plan was upending life in the capital city.

Madison schools were closed on Wednesday after many employees called in sick to help lobby. Thousands of teachers, state workers and students filled a square around the Capitol, chanting “kill the bill” and waving signs (some likening Walker to a dictator and demanding his recall).

And a public hearing on the issue that had started at 10 a.m. on Tuesday ran through the night and into Wednesday afternoon, as protesters with sleeping bags camped out near the Capitol’s rotunda and bleary-eyed lawmakers gulped coffee from paper cups.

“We view the events in Wisconsin as one of the worst attacks on workers’ rights and their voices in the workplace that we’ve ever seen,” said Kim Anderson, director of government relations for the National Education Association in Washington, where 150 people were making calls to teachers and union supporters in Wisconsin, urging them to demonstrate or call lawmakers.

Kevin Gibbons, a leader of a union here representing teaching assistants at the University

of Wisconsin, said, “I think Gov. Walker is using this financial crisis as an excuse to attack unions, and if Wisconsin goes, what will be next?”

Already, tensions were rising in other states, particularly in places where Republican victories in November have altered the political landscape.

Earlier this week, in Ohio, workers protested outside the Statehouse in Columbus to protest a bill that would limit collective bargaining for state employees there. In Indianapolis, teachers rallied against a bill that would limit contract bargaining for teachers’ unions. In Tennessee, a legislative committee was considering a similar bill.

For his part, Walker said he did not believe that most Wisconsin residents had a problem with his proposals. In a tour on Tuesday around the state — to private companies — Walker said he spoke with plenty of private employees who told of paying far more for their retirement plans and health care than he is now seeking from state workers.

Walker would require state employees to contribute 5.8 percent of their pay to their pensions, where most now pay far less, and require state employees to pay at least 12.6 percent of health care premiums (most pay about 6 percent now).

The average salary for a Wisconsin state worker is $48,348, according to a recent report by the liberal-leaning Economic Policy Institute in Washington.

Some national polls, too, have suggested that many people would support cuts to the pensions and benefits of government workers.

“To the average citizen — to middle-class, working-class families — they’re paying a whole lot more right now,” Walker said.

Lawmakers here were expected to vote on the issue by week’s end. Into the evening on Wednesday, there was talk that lawmakers might amend the plan, perhaps to restore some union bargaining rights.

But many were predicting that the general outlines of Walker’s proposal might survive votes in the Assembly and Senate, both of which are controlled by Republicans.

Continued from A1 Councilors also decided to add a $3 million roundabout at Mt. Washington Drive and Simpson Avenue to the bond measure project list. This followed a recommendation of the city’s citizen Infrastructure Advisory Committee.

While that raises the total estimated costs of the projects to about $33 million — about $3 million more than the bond is expected to raise — the committee placed it ahead of the $4.5 million worth of road and pedestrian improvements to 14th Street from Galveston Avenue to Simpson Avenue.

The committee found the city could afford this extra work if the other projects on the list cost less than anticipated and there were bond funds left over. If this were the case, the city could also do the 14th Street improvements in phases if there wasn’t enough to do the entire stretch from Galveston to Simpson.

Councilors agreed with this idea Wednesday, and left the 14th Street improvements on the list should there be enough money left to pursue the project. There is also a long list of alternative projects the city could go after if there is more money left over after that.

After voting 6-0 to move forward with the bond measure, Mayor Jeff Eager and Councilor Tom Greene reiterated that citizens will choose whether they want their roads improved or if they want a tax break. As Eager said during the meeting, residents will have to ask whether the road projects are worth it.

“I think it’s a legitimate question to ask,” he said.

World Bank: Food prices pushing millions to poverty

By Howard Schneider The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Rising food prices pushed tens of millions of people into extreme poverty last year and are reaching “dangerous levels” in some countries, World Bank President Robert Zoellick said Tuesday as he re-

leased new data showing that the cost of grain and other staples is now near a historic high.

The costs of some key commodities such as wheat have doubled in the past year, and a World Bank index of overall food costs rose 15 percent from October through January. The bank’s food price index, which covers

the costs of grain, sugar, food oils and other staples, is now just 3 percent below its historic high in 2008 — a level that touched off food riots in several countries.

Zoellick urged major nations to collaborate on ways to temper the sort of rapid price swings that can lead to shortages in the economically weakest nations.

“When you are distracted, it doesn’t mean you aren’t paying attention to anything,” Lleras said.

Priests who meditate for hours don’t concentrate solely on breathing or one object, he said.

“It’s not that they don’t get distracted, but that they’re very good at dealing with the distractions and releasing themselves from them,” Lleras said. “Good meditators will get distracted and get back to their main focus very quickly.”

Lleras based his theory on the idea that our senses become used to stimulus. Take a room that smells strongly of coffee.

If you stay in the room all day, the scent goes away because the brain is trained to respond to differences and not constants in the environment.

Similarly, if you stare at one penny and place another coin 10 inches away, the penny in your peripheral vision will eventually disappear. If you blink or move, the second penny reappears be-

ST. LOUIS — A University of Illinois professor says people don’t need to feel guilty about checking personal e-mail, chatting with co-workers or addressing other minor distractions throughout the work day.

Brief diversions may actually help people concentrate and improve their performance on more important tasks, says Alejandro Lleras, who wrote a study on the topic for the journal Cognition.

Lleras works at the university’s Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology in Urbana.

Lleras’ research seems to contradict long-standing theories that attention is a finite resource that runs out after a lengthy period of focus.

Attention is more like a gas tank that refills during short breaks from the task at hand, according to Lleras’ study.

A loss of attention is not the problem.

cause the change has jolted the brain.

The same can be true of the thought process. Sustained attention to a thought can cause that thought to disappear. But if you are given something else to think about, the original thought will seem fresh when you return to it.

To prove his theory, Lleras had 84 students focus on various numbers flashing on a computer for an hour. One group received no breaks or distractions. Other groups were told to memorize numbers and wait for those numbers to pop up on the screen. The groups that received diversions, in the form of their memorized numbers popping up, sustained their concentration.

Other groups saw their attention spans wane after 20 minutes.

“It’s unrealistic to expect people to focus at high levels for a long period of time,” Lleras said.

“It’s important to create an environment where it’s OK to take small breaks.”

Fed raises growth forecast Though unemployment is expected to remain high

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF

By Sewell Chan New York Times News Service

Google announces payment service SAN FRANCISCO — A day after Apple stirred up online publishers by announcing a digital subscription plan that some called too restrictive and financially burdensome, Google on Wednesday announced its own payment service for digital content that aims to be more publisherfriendly.

Google’s service, called Google One Pass, is a way for online publishers to sell digital content on the Web and through mobile apps using Google’s existing payment service, Google Checkout, and for readers to access that content on many devices with their Google e-mail address and password.

“The overall goal is to bring publishers a simple way to charge for content they choose to charge for, and for readers to have simple access without any restrictions on which devices they use,” said Jeannie Hornung, a Google spokeswoman.

Google’s service seems to directly respond to some publishers’ concerns about Apple’s plan.

“This is purely a shot across Apple’s bow at a critical point in time,” said James McQuivey, a digital media analyst at Forrester Research. “That’s what the industry wants right now, to know there is an alternative to Apple and someone willing to talk about a more reasonable rate.”

WASHINGTON — Policymakers at the Federal Reserve on Wednesday substantially upgraded their forecasts for how much the economy will grow this year, though they expect unemployment to remain painfully high for some time.

Top Fed officials now expect the output of goods and services to grow by 3.4 percent to 3.9 percent this year, up from the previous forecast, released in November, of 3 percent

B

to 3.6 percent. But their grim outlook for the job market was largely unchanged: 8.8 percent to 9 percent unemployment this year, only one-tenth of a percentage point lower than its November forecast.

If the Fed’s most optimistic forecast were realized, it would be the fastest annual growth since 2004, when the economy expanded by 3.6 percent. But experts say even that rate of growth would only bring down unemployment, now at 9 percent, slowly — to slightly less than 8 percent by

the end of 2012, when President Barack Obama will seek re-election.

The forecasts did not change the view that the Fed should continue the $600 billion program to stimulate the recovery by buying government securities, a step begun in November and scheduled to run through June. The Fed said it based its expectations on an improvement in consumer spending in the fourth quarter, though Fed officials were uncertain how long that would last, according to minutes of the Fed’s last policy meeting in late January released on Wednesday.

Visit Bend launches ale trail phone app

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

Just in time to help beer aficionados make the rounds to eight Central Oregon breweries participating the third annual Zwickelmania Oregon Brewery Tour this weekend, Visit Bend launched a new smart phone application designed to help users navigate the Bend Ale Trail.

“Visit Bend became the first destination marketing organization in the Pacific Northwest to offer a smart phone application,” said Tawna Fenske, Visit Bend communications director.

The app is available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users. Fenske said Visit Bend is developing another app for users of Android smart phones, which is expected to be available in April.

In addition to providing instant access to an electronic map of area breweries, Fenske said the app also allows users to click on lodging to book overnight accommodations, learn about Central Oregon breweries and other recreation and entertainment activities, play games and take fun quizzes.

“Travelers are changing the way they get information and Visit Bend is at the forefront of this movement by offering this unique travel app,” said Sean Egusa of Streetside, a Portlandbased startup company that developed the smart phone app.

Ex-Freddie Mac chief may face civil charges The former chief financial officer of Freddie Mac has been notified by securities regulators that they may soon file civil charges against him, stemming from his tenure at the mortgage finance company, according to a recent public filing.

Anthony Piszel, known as Buddy, who was Freddie’s chief financial officer from late 2006 to 2008, received a so-called Wells notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission, an indication the agency was considering an enforcement action against him.

The SEC has long been investigating Freddie Mac and its sister company, Fannie Mae. Both companies acknowledged receiving subpoenas in 2008 from the SEC and a federal grand jury. The government has been examining Freddie’s accounting and disclosure practices.

Piszel left Freddie when the federal government placed the two mortgage giants in conservatorship in September 2008.

He later became chief financial officer at CoreLogic, a financial data firm.

BendBroadband will spend $10 million to construct the data center, essentially a building housing racks of computers, in the 30,000-square-foot former home of Bend Tarp and Liner, near Northeast 18th Street and Brinson Boulevard in the Basalt Business Park.

o thank the construction workers building the data center it expects to open in April, BendBroadband provided lunch Wednesday from Baldy’s Barbeque.

BendBroadband touted the local impact of the data center — from the construction jobs now to the economic development benefits in the future.

“When I look at this building … it’s just obvious that we have excellent craftsmanship on this project,” Amy Tykeson, BendBroadband president and CEO, told the construction crews.

Of the 150-plus workers building the

data center in Prineville strictly for its own use, BendBroadband plans to license the space to businesses, both small and large.

As examples, Weitman and Sean Handley, BendBroadband director of business services said, a small retailer might want to pay to house e-mail or similar services at the Vault. They would be accessible over the Internet, a setup often referred to as cloud computing.

A larger business might find it more expensive to dedicate a room to racks of servers than licensing them at the Vault, after security, power, climate control and other issues get factored in.

Drive by some shopping plazas and you’ll see rows of signs near the road that proclaim that Jackson Hewitt offers tax refund anticipation loans.

Jackson Hewitt’s phone line says: “Apply for a refund anticipation loan today — we’ve got them; others don’t.”

Jackson Hewitt is playing up the fact that H&R Block cannot offer any refund anticipation loans this tax season.

But not every Jackson Hewitt location offers RALs. And the maximum loan is less than you’d expect. It’s just $1,500.

Refund anticipation loans have undergone a redo — thanks to intervention by the Internal Revenue Service and federal regulators.

If you hate the costly refund loans — as I do — you’re not sad that people can no longer easily burn good money on supershort-term loans.

Why spend $60 or $100 extra — on top of tax preparation fees — to get cash that would be in your pocket in a week or two anyway? If you file a tax return

electronically and use direct deposit for your refund, you can get that money in eight to 15 days.

Critics have long charged that refund anticipation loans target down-on-their-luck taxpayers.

Employers in distressed rural Oregon counties may be eligible for grants to help retrain workers with new job skills instead of laying them off, under a new program announced this week by the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council in Redmond.

An award of $609,000 in federal funds for 24 economically distressed Oregon counties includes more than $90,000 to be distributed through COIC to private-sector employers in Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties.

The grants, which help employers retrain workers to meet changing skill requirements caused by new technology, retooling, new product lines or changing industry or occupational job requirements, represent a new focus of federal funds appropriated under the Employer Workforce Training Fund Program, said Tom Moore, COIC executive director.

In the past, federal rules governing the Employer Workforce Training Fund required grants to be awarded to help employers expand and create new jobs, Moore said.

If you go What: Zwickelmania When: Saturday, Feb. 19, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: Eight craft breweries in Central Oregon (55 statewide) Sponsor: Oregon Brewers Guild Website: www.OregonBeer.org

Continued from B1 In developing the app, Egusa said one of the goals was to provide information consistent with other Visit Bend materials promoting the Bend Ale Trail.

“From brochure to website to mobile phone — no matter how people interact with the Bend Ale Trail — they get the same content and information,” Egusa said.

Visit Bend launched the Bend Ale Trail eight months ago to promote the city’s booming craft beer industry and to diversify Bend’s tourism offerings. Using a Bend Ale Trail Map and Passport, guests can track their route between the Bend-area’s eight breweries and earn prizes for visiting all of them. The popularity of the Bend Ale Trail, which has attracted more than 1,000 guests, prompted Visit Bend to look into developing a local food trail, and possibly others to promote other area attractions, according to Doug La Placa, Visit Bend president and CEO. This weekend’s Zwickelmania is a statewide brewery open house and tour event sponsored by the Oregon Brewers Guild. The eight Bend-area breweries are among 55 breweries statewide participating in Zwickelmania.

“As Oregonians, we are fortunate to have so many great brew-

eries open throughout the year, but Zwickelmania is special. This is a once-a-year, one-day opportunity for beer fans to brewery hop and sample straight from the source – often poured by brewers themselves,” said Brian Butenschoen, executive director of the Oregon Brewers Guild.

Breweries in Central Oregon and statewide participating in Zwickelmania will host open houses and special tastings from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, according to the Brewers Guild.

“This is a very exciting beer weekend,” Fenske said. “All of the Central Oregon breweries are participating in Zwickelmania.”

She said Wanderlust Tours of Bend and the Green Energy Transportation and Tours of Bend will be offering rides and tour services between area breweries this weekend for Zwickelmania.

This weekend is also the Presidents Day holiday, which Fenske

Fed

risk of deflation, a protracted fall in prices of the sort that has afflicted Japan for more than two decades. That fear of deflation was a principal factor behind the decision in August to set the stage for the bond purchases.

Continued from B1 “On the one hand, the additional spending could reflect pent-up demand following the downturn, or greater confidence on the part of households about the future, in which case it might be expected to continue,” the minutes noted. “On the other hand, the additional spending could prove short-lived, given that a good portion of it appeared to have occurred in relatively volatile categories such as autos.”

At the January meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed’s main policy arm, voted unanimously to continue the $600 billion Treasury purchase plan, the second round of a strategy that is intended to push down long-term interest rates to ease credit and spur growth. The strategy, known as quantitative easing, has been controversial — critics say it could set the stage for future inflation and asset bubbles — but the Fed has been fairly unified behind it.

The minutes indicated that Fed officials saw a diminishing

Positive trends Other economic reports issued on Wednesday supported the Fed’s view of an economy starting to gather some steam. The Commerce Department reported that new home construction rose by the largest amount in 20 months, and the Labor Department reported that wholesale prices rose sharply in January, driven up by gasoline and pharmaceuticals. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, the index rose by the most in more than two years.

The Fed’s own report on industrial production in January was more mixed. Factory output rose for the fifth consecutive month, pushed by strong car and truck sales, but utility and mine output fell, leaving the overall level of production lower, the first month-to-month decline in 19 months.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, February 17, 2011 B3

said is traditionally one of the busiest weekends of the winter season (after the ChristmasNew Year’s holidays) for Central Oregon.

For visitors seeking unique ways to travel the Bend Ale Trail, several local companies offer packages that include pedi-cab tours, horse-drawn carriage rides, culinary-themed pub crawls and the Bend Brew Bus. Central Oregon breweries participating in Zwickelmania include 10 Barrel Brewing Co., Bend Brewing Co., Boneyard Brewing, Cascade Lakes Brewery, Deschutes Brewery, McMenamins Old St. Francis School Brewery, Silver Moon Brewing Co., all of Bend, as well as Three Creeks Brewing in Sisters.

“I think Zwickelmania is pretty cool. It is an opportunity for people to come into the back of the brewery and actually meet the brewers, see the craft involved in making beer, and see all of the equipment and how it is used,” said Tyler West, head brewer at Silver Moon.

“It’s pretty cool to have an opportunity to meet the people. We are usually in the back making beer while everyone else is out front enjoying it,” West said.

He also said Visit Bend chose a perfect time to announce the launch of its smart phone application this weekend.

“With the smart phone app, it

will be a lot easier for people to find their way from one brewery, or to keep track of where they’re at if they are riding a tour bus,” West said. “With the smart phone apps, people will be able to make notes, which will help them say what they want to say online about the breweries they visit or the beers they taste.”

In Wednesday’s announcement, Lynnette Braillard, Visit Bend marketing director, said the smart phone application was created as a guide for the Bend Ale Trail. Visit Bend surveys showed about 86 percent of those taking part in the Bend Ale Trail have mobile phones, she said.

“We’re seeing more and more people using GPS-enabled smart phones to plan travel,” Braillard said. “From a tourism standpoint, it makes sense to offer smart phone user tools to make their Oregon travel experience even better.”

Braillard said the Bend-area’s “world class craft brewery culture is one of the most unique things about Bend.”

Visitor surveys show 28 percent of Bend visitors stopped by at least one local brewery, she said, “so we’re thrilled to be able to offer this free app as a way of enhancing their experience.”

For their part, investors have been bidding up stock prices steadily since late November. The Dow Jones industrial average closed at 12,288.17 Wednesday, up 61.53 points, or 0.50 percent.

“Things are moving in the right direction, and the Fed is taking that into consideration,” said Martha Starr, an economics professor at American University here, and a former senior economist at the Fed. “The higher growth rate bodes well, perhaps, for an earlier recovery in the labor market than had been expected, but even with the better growth prognosis, it will take a while for the average person on the street to feel it.”

The minutes painted a picture of a group that was not quite certain about how long the economy would take to recover from the 2007-9 recession — the longest downturn since the Depression.

“On the downside, participants remained worried about the possible effects of spillovers from the banking and fiscal strains in peripheral Europe, the ongoing fiscal adjustments by U.S. state and local governments, and the continued weakness in the housing market,” the minutes stated.

“On the upside, the recent strength in household spending raised the possibility that domestic final demand could snap back more rapidly than anticipated. If so, a considerably stronger recovery could take hold, more in line with the sorts of recoveries seen following deep economic recessions in the past.”

The minutes noted that most Fed officials viewed the large slack in the economy — the economy’s underperformance relative to its potential — as “likely to remain a force restraining inflation,” and believed that while price declines were unlikely, inflation was likely to remain below its desired level (2 percent or slightly below) “for some time.”

Some officials also said that if the public doubted the Fed’s willingness to reduce its huge balance sheet — by selling the financial assets it acquired as a response to the crisis — when the time comes to do so, “the result could be upward pressure on inflation expectations and so on actual inflation.”

The Fed chairman, Ben Bernanke, has repeatedly stated that the Fed was ready to act if inflation posed a threat.

Vault Continued from B1 St. Charles Health System committed to using the Vault when BendBroadband announced construction in mid2010. BendBroadband has signed up other companies, although Handley and others said Wednesday they could not disclose them.

For data centers, power can be one of the largest operating costs, according to the website Data Center Knowledge, so those who build and run them constantly seek to improve their efficiency.

BendBroadband chose a system from KyotoCooling, an international company that specializes in data center cooling systems.

About 25 percent of the Vault’s annual energy needs will be generated by 600 solar panels made by SolarWorld, a company with its U.S. headquarters in Hillsboro, sending energy to inverters made by

Training Continued from B1 “Several companies in Central Oregon took advantage of the program in the past and were able to expand and create jobs with grants from the Employer Workforce Training Fund,” Moore said. “Now, because of the economic situation, there is a necessity by rule that the money be targeted for layoff aversion.”

He said Oregon was granted a waiver allowing the state to use part of its allocation of federal work force training funds for job training aimed at avoiding layoffs, and that approach has since been adopted as the primary focus under a federal rule change that applies to the current fiscal year.

“The purpose of the Employer Workforce Training Fund Program is to assist employers in training currently employed workers in an effort to keep businesses and workers competitive,” Moore said of the new focus implemented by the change in federal rules.

Grant applications from employers will be accepted beginning in March, and funds will be distributed until the money runs out. In Central Oregon, for-profit employers that have been in Crook, Deschutes or Jefferson counties for at least 120 days are encouraged to submit applications through

Bend-based PV Powered and installed by Sunlight Solar Energy of Bend, said Paul Israel, Sunlight Solar founder and president.

The building previously had eight solar panels, which Israel installed some years ago.

BendBroadband donated them to Habitat for Humanity for use on two homes in Prineville, he said, with installation donated

by Sunlight Solar.

Economic development officials agree the Vault will help Central Oregon stand out to companies looking for places to locate their businesses.

Having data centers built by BendBroadband and Facebook helps the region become known for state-of-the-art projects built for high tech, said Eric Strobel of Economic Development for Central Oregon.

“The BendBroadband Vault is a marquee project for the city of Bend,” he said.

“A dollar-for-dollar cash or in-kind match is required from the employer,” according to Andrew Spreadborough, who is the COIC contact person for the work force training grants.

Grant applications will be evaluated by the Region 10 Workforce Response Team, based on how each applicant company proposes to use grant funds to improve work force skills to remain competitive, create new jobs through a special training program, increase productivity through specific job training, or help the company be more competitive by upgrading worker skills, according a COIC fact sheet.

“Priority for funding is given to applicants who demonstrate that their proposed training program could assist the business in avoiding a layoff, downsizing or closure, or would provide retention opportunities by upgrading employees’ skills as a result of the training,” according to COIC. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor and administered by the Oregon Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development.

Loans Continued from B1 H&R Block was forced out of the RAL business when the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency decided in late December to ban HSBC bank from funding the RALs at H&R Block.

The Internal Revenue Service this year stopped providing tax preparers and banks with what’s known as a debt indicator, which helped lenders determine how much refund money the government had dibs on through things like unpaid child support. “There won’t be a report that says there’s a claim on 50 percent of so-and-so’s refund,� said Jean Ann Fox, director of financial services for the Consumer Federation of America.

The actual refund, after all, has to cover the refund loan.

Now that the IRS isn’t playing along, banks could risk too much without such information on the taxpayer.

Consumers can shop around to find places that offer RALs, such as Jackson Hewitt and Liberty Tax Services.

Or some find themselves looking at other types of loans for other ways to juggle old and new bills.

Shevonne Jones, 38, of Hazel Park, Mich., took an $800 H&R Block Emerald Advance Loan just after Christmas. Her 2000 Chrysler LHS needed about $400 in repairs and she needed cash. That product was offered through Jan. 14 at H&R Block retail tax offices. Consumers still can get an Emerald Advance via www.hrblock.com.

Emerald Advance is a yearround line of credit, which has a $45 annual fee to open and a 36 percent interest rate.

Jones doesn’t remember the fee and felt she needed the money, anyway. “It came very much in handy,�

Jones said.

Jones expects to get her federal income tax refund early this

month. But she’ll end up netting around $4,000 instead of $5,000 because she plans to pay off the loan and fees for tax preparation once that refund money is available.

She said she’s never qualified for a refund anticipation loan, anyway. This year, the RALs that are available come with more restrictions.

In the past, a taxpayer might be able to get $5,000 or $7,000 in a refund anticipation loan if they were due that kind of money, said Dan Roman, area developer for Liberty Tax Services in metro Detroit.

Liberty has an agreement with Republic Bank & Trust this year, and the new rules are that a taxpayer can receive a maximum of $1,500 — and taxpayers can get a RAL only if they’re owed $2,000 or more. “When we tell them the amount, it’s like, ‘Wow,’ � Roman said. “Some people are saying ‘Fifteen hundred bucks? I’ll wait; it’s not worth the extra money.’�

Borders files for Chapter 11, plans to close 200 stores

By Stephen Ceasar Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Giant bookseller Borders Group Inc., battered by poor sales, continuing financial losses and heavy debt, filed for bankruptcy protection Wednesday and said it will close about 200 stores of its 642 stores and lay off about 6,000 of its 19,000 workers.

All the stores that will be closed are underperforming superstores, Borders said.

In a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, the company listed $1.29 billion in debt and $1.27 billion in assets. The company owes millions to book publishers. Its largest debts are $41.1 million to Penguin Group, $36.9 million to Hachette Book Group and $33.8 million to Simon & Schuster.

Borders President Mike Edwards said in a statement that reduced customer spending, negotiations with vendors and a lack of liquidity had made it clear that the company “does not have the capital resources it needs to be a viable competitor and which are essential for it to move forward with its business strategy to reposition itself successfully for the long term.�

The company noted that it had secured $505 million in debtorin-possession financing from

Carlos Osorio / The Associated Press

Customers walk into a Borders superstore in Ann Arbor, Mich. It is one of the stores the company plans to close.

GE Capital and others to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. “We have the ability ... to be an important and easy-access destination of exploration and purchase for readers across the country,� Edwards said.

Industry experts said the chain faces major challenges.

As the company looks to eventually emerge from bankruptcy, it must make a quick and intelligent strategy shift, said Al Greco, a book publishing expert and professor of marketing at Fordham University’s Graduate

School of Business. “Unless they can come up with a first-rate marketing strategy to sell physical and e-books and get more traffic to its website, this company could be in worse trouble six months from now,� he said.

The company’s prospects of survival appear to be slim, Greco said. Even if Borders is able to create a viable business strategy, it still must compete with Barnes & Noble, a thriving Amazon. com and other discounters. “All of these problems will not disappear,� Greco said. “It will be very difficult.�

Sanofi-Aventis to buy Genzyme for $20.1B PARIS — The French drug maker Sanofi-Aventis said Wednesday that it had agreed to buy Genzyme for at least $20.1 billion in cash, with additional payments possible based on the performance of the U.S. biotechnology company’s drugs.

The acquisition is one of the largest ever by a French company and the second-largest deal in biotechnology after Roche’s purchase of Genentech in 2008, according to Thomson Reuters data.

The deal ends months of haggling after Sanofi unsuccessfully sought to acquire Genzyme for $18.5 billion and Genzyme’s board resisted. Viehbacher said the deal took so long to complete because while the two companies agreed on 90 percent of Genzyme’s value, “10 percent of $20 billion is a lot of money.�

Daimler reports profit but misses estimates Daimler said Wednesday that its earnings rose sharply in the last quarter of 2010 as strong demand from China combined with a recovery in car and truck sales in the United States and Europe.

But its shares slipped after the results failed to meet analysts’ expectations.

The automaker, based in Stuttgart, Germany, also said that it would resume paying a dividend. It canceled the payments for 2009 for the first time in more than a decade.

Daimler, which makes ve-

hicles including Mercedes-Benz cars and Daimler trucks, posted a fourth-quarter profit of 1.14 billion euros ($1.55 billion), in contrast to a loss of 352 million euros in the period a year ago.

Revenue climbed 24 percent, to 26.4 billion euros.

The crucial figure for analysts, earnings before interest and taxes, soared 249 percent, to 1.56 billion euros.

But a Reuters poll showed that the market had expected an even bigger gain, to almost 2.1 billion euros.

Merkel names adviser to head central bank BERLIN — Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday named a trusted economics adviser, Jens Weidmann, to be the next head of Bundesbank, the German central bank in Frankfurt, leaving a big gap in her administration as she tries to lead Europe out of its sovereign debt crisis.

Weidmann will succeed Axel Weber, 53, who abruptly announced his resignation last week. He will leave April 30.

Weber had been seen as the front-runner to become the next president of the European Central Bank in October, but his departure from the Bundesbank makes him no longer eligible.

Weidmann, 42, will be the youngest-ever Bundesbank chief, a post that in recent years has ceded much power and status to the European Central Bank. His new post will place him on the European bank’s governing council, where he will be one voice among many.

Big companies starting to spend cash hoards

By Thomas Black Bloomberg News

Corporate America is putting its cash hoard back to work.

In the first decline since mid2009, Standard & Poor’s 500 companies reduced cash and short-term investments to $2.4 trillion from a record $2.46 trillion, according to data Bloomberg compiled from their most recent quarterly reports. Capital spending increased $22.3 billion, the biggest quarter-to-quarter jump since the end of 2004, to $142.8 billion, the highest level in two years.

Disney raises prices for DVD rental services LOS ANGELES — Amid calls from some on Wall Street to choke off the supply of newly released DVDs to discount movie rental services, the Walt Disney Co. has quietly decided to raise its wholesale prices on new-release DVDs for Redbox and Netflix, according to people familiar with the matter.

The move marks a subtle shift in Disney’s relationship with Netflix Inc. and Redbox Automated Retail LLC, and one that stands in contrast with most of Hollywood’s dealings with the two rental giants. Other studios have refused to supply DVDs to Netflix and Redbox until 28 days after they are released out of concern that low-cost rentals will undercut DVD sales. Disney, on the other hand, all along has been supplying Netflix and Redbox with DVDs at the same time they go on sale, albeit at a lower price.

Comcast beats earnings estimates WASHINGTON — Comcast Corp., the cable company that took control of NBC Universal Inc. last month, reported fourthquarter profit and sales Wednesday that beat analysts’ estimates and plans to boost its dividend and stock buyback program.

Profit, excluding costs from the purchase of NBC Universal, was 35 cents a share. Analysts in a Bloomberg survey predicted 32 cents on average. Sales rose 7.2 percent to $9.72 billion, topping projections of $9.56 billion. — From wire reports

Deschutes rural plan discussed County commissioners considering updates to population growth policies

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

The Deschutes County Commission explored policies on Wednesday to manage rural population growth and its impact on housing, transportation and other services.

The policies are just one part of an update to the county’s blueprint for future development, known as the comprehensive plan.

However, the most controversial section of the plan — land use poli-

cies on farmland and other natural resources — is still to come. That County Commission discussion is scheduled for Wednesday.

Deschutes County adopted its existing comprehensive plan in 1979.

The document identifies community values and sets policies that will determine where rural development can, and cannot, occur. It has been revised several times in the past 30 years, including as recently as a few months ago. However, this is its first

major overhaul.

Planning Director Nick Lelack told the county commissioners Wednesday that the county has enough buildable land to meet the demand for rural housing through 2030, the period covered by the comprehensive plan.

This is partially because changes in state regulations have made it possible to create new residential lots, according to the draft plan. For example, new residential lots can be created in destination resorts and from land subdivided under Measures 37 and 49.

The issues to be discussed next week — county policies on natural resources — have attracted the most

interest from residents during public comment sessions, said senior planner Terri Hansen Payne.

Much of Deschutes County was zoned as farmland when Oregon’s land use system was created in the 1970s, “with sort of a default zoning,” Payne said. “A lot of people believe, and have expressed, that it really isn’t viable farmland. You can’t make a living farming like you can in the (Willamette) Valley.”

Yet many residents also value the open space that is protected as farmland, Payne said.

Residents are similarly divided on land use policies that relate to wildlife, Payne said.

Bend: Middle school Redmond high name Madras High makes plan gets complicated finalists draw criticism electives a privilege

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

The Bend-La Pine Schools’ boundary advisory committee met Wednesday with the intention of fine-tuning a few middle-school proposals, then planning the first public forums.

Instead, the group ended up tweaking its three existing options and adding three more.

“We’re only going to take it as fast as we can go,” Deputy Superintendent John Rexford said.

At the start of the meeting, there were three options on the table for reducing the size of Cascade Middle School, which now serves far more students than it was designed to.

The first: to send Pine Ridge Elementary to Pilot Butte Middle School and all of Ensworth Elementary to Sky View Middle School.

The second: to send twothirds of the Pine Ridge students to Pilot Butte, and the northern portion of Ensworth

to Sky View.

The third: to send portions of High Lakes and Miller elementaries, including the greater downtown area, to Pilot Butte Middle School.

The group quickly added a fourth option: dividing Pine Ridge so that all students south of Powers Road and between the Bend Parkway and Third Street go to Pilot Butte, with the rest remaining at Cascade Middle School, and moving a portion of Buckingham Elementary up to Sky View Middle.

With those options on the table, the group debated the positive and negative aspects of each one. For example, while the first option avoids splitting elementaries, it also would add bus time for Pine Ridge students and send a few too many students to Pilot Butte Middle.

The fourth option would affect the fewest number of students, but the committee also expressed concern about dividing up an elementary school.

The Redmond School District received more than 200 responses within a week of announcing the three finalists for the name of its new high school, an amount that makes the issue one of the hottest the district has seen in the last few years.

Some comments, even in dissent, have been polite. Others, however, have stung the district with insults and anger. The comments have arrived at drop boxes at schools across the district, through e-mail and via an online survey on the district’s website. About half the comments pick a favorite name, while the other half criticize all three finalists.

The finalists, in order of the high school naming committee’s preference, are: Ridgeview, South Redmond and Grandview.

District spokeswoman Stephanie Curtis said responses to the finalists have rivaled controversial issues such as Red-

mond’s four-day week.

“The volume was great,” Curtis said. “But I was surprised by the number of negative e-mails we received.”

Toni Duff led both the high school and recent elementary name committees. The responses attacking the committee’s effort stunned her. The district received a much smaller number of responses when it named Sage Elementary last year.

“I’ve never really been in a situation where people are ... it’s cruel,” Duff said. “We were trying to do something that would be helpful.”

The district provided The Bulletin with a sampling of responses, but withheld the names.

Other comments were submitted to the district anonymously.

In some instances, people supported a particular name, for instance, writing, “We strongly believe that ‘Redmond’ should be in the name. Our vote is for South Redmond.”

MADRAS — Would you give up a high school elective and take an extra math class? What if it meant the difference between graduating and not graduating? What if you also had to take an extra English course?

For students at Madras High School, those questions aren’t choices anymore.

They’re mandatory.

If a student enrolled at Madras High School isn’t meeting state standards for reading and math, he or she loses the option to take an elective — such as art or music — and, instead, enters the Jefferson County School District’s new double-dose program.

Last year, the district received a three-year, $3.7 million federal stimulus grant designed to help more students pass state benchmarks and graduate on time.

This money pays for the doubledose program, which began in the 2010-2011 school year.

“When we received the im-

provement grant we targeted our scores in math and reading,” said Nick Kezele, a teacher who works with students to improve test scores and oversees the program. “If a student comes into the high school and they don’t have test scores that meet the standard, then they take additional classes. They have a math class. They have a language arts class. But if they don’t meet the requirements then they also take an extra workshop for math, or reading or both.”

The state sets benchmarks for standardized tests administered in public schools. A score of 236 or higher is considered acceptable in math and reading/literature skills, according to the state.

Madras High School consistently falls in the lower range of the state’s annual report card. Between 2008 and 2010, only 46.6 percent of the school’s sophomores met or exceeded Oregon’s benchmark in reading.

Bend-La Pine Continued from C1 The committee was most concerned about the third option, which would send swaths of the west side of Bend to Pilot Butte Middle instead of Cascade. That scenario, the group realized, did not take enough students out of Cascade Middle and seemed too piecemeal.

Tina Ficher, a Cascade Middle parent and a member of previous boundary committees, said she felt it was important to offer an option that didn’t affect primarily Pine Ridge students. “The three changes are focusing on one group of students, so when we talk about going to a community forum ... we owe it to the community to continue with this other option,� Ficher said. “We have to see if we can refine it. If we can’t, it’s off the table. But if we don’t try then we aren’t looking at the whole (district), and part of our charge is that the whole piece has to be considered.�

Rexford agreed. “Options 1, 2 and 4 are really variations on a theme,� he said.

“The three changes are focusing on one group of students, so when we talk about going to a community forum ... we owe it to the community to continue with this other option.� — Tina Ficher, parent, Cascade Middle School

“If we want to have a true alternative to those three, then we really owe it to everyone to fully develop a fourth option.�

Two other variations The group spent the final 20 minutes of its meeting trying to find additional students from the west side of Bend who could move from Cascade Middle to Pilot Butte Middle. They came up with two variations that would take students from High Lakes and Miller elementaries and send them to Pilot

Butte.

Those variations are: extending the Pilot Butte boundary all the way west to College Way to include Newport Hills and a large swath of downtown, or to send all students north of Portland Avenue to Pilot Butte and students from Ensworth Elementary to Sky View Middle. “We will look at a refinement of a fourth option and confirm that it works,� Rexford said of next Wednesday’s meeting.

The committee plans to hold forums at schools likely to be affected at the end of February. “We’re going to be late on the recommendation. We were supposed to have it to the board by March 1,� Rexford said. “I’ve got to have it done soon.�

Rexford hopes to have final boundary change recommendations to the school board by mid-March.

O VARIED USE OF AGRICULTURE LAND

Winery, conservationists clash

By Sherri Buri McDonald The (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — For years, King Estate has offered much more than just wine.

The chateau-style winery perched on a crest near Lorane is a favorite venue for weddings and corporate events, and the winery’s full-service restaurant, which was built in 2005, offers meals designed to pair King Estate wines with locally raised products.

The meals, parties and wine flowed freely until late 2008, when Lane County officials notified King Estate, and more than a dozen other wineries, that if they hosted frequent events, they needed to file for a special county permit or risk running afoul of state laws.

In December, after a yearlong process that cost tens of thousands of dollars, King Estate obtained a special use permit from Lane County allowing the restaurant and special events, the winery’s founder Ed King said.

But an anti-sprawl group has challenged the county’s approval, arguing that state law forbids the restaurant and any special event not directly related to promoting King Estate wines.

This case focuses attention on the issue of what hundreds of Oregon wineries can and cannot do on land zoned for exclusive farm use. It highlights the confusion in state law and county authority governing an agricultural industry that has evolved more quickly than many ever imagined.

What farms can and cannot do Oregon is fiercely protective of its farmland — more so than many other states. Over the years, lawmakers have tried to craft laws spelling out which activities can take place on farms and which must stay out. But much of the day-to-day oversight of winery activities has been left to the counties, which take wildly varied approaches.

Legislation passed last special session set some parameters on wineries’ sale of “incidental goods and services,” including weddings and other special events. Bills further clarifying what wineries can do on-site are being introduced this legislative session.

Many Lane County wineries “are waiting to see how this turns out” before they file for county permits allowing them to hold frequent special events, said Steve Girard, co-owner of Benton-Lane Winery and vice president of the Southern Willamette Wineries Association.

For years, Lane County wineries hosted a range of celebrations, concerts and fundraisers without obtaining any special permits. Then two years ago, concerned that the county wasn’t keeping up with state laws, the county’s land management division sent out letters to 15 local wineries encouraging, but not requiring, those hosting more than one special event in a threemonth period to apply for a special use permit.

Sweet Cheeks winery, near Crow, filed an application for a special use permit in the summer of 2009. Its application was deemed incomplete and is now under review, said Rafael Sebba, associate planner with Lane County’s land management division.

In October 2009, King Estate submitted its special use permit application, which the county approved on Dec 17, 2010.

Two weeks later, Goal One Coalition, a nonprofit land use organization based in Lebanon, appealed the King Estate decision.

The coalition argues that King Estate crossed the line by operating a full-service restaurant, rather than a “limited-service restaurant,” which is the only kind of restaurant allowed at wineries under state law. A limited-service restaurant is defined as only serving “individually portioned prepackaged foods prepared from an approved source by a commercial processor and nonperishable beverages.”

That language remains in Senate Bill 1055, the winery rules passed in last year’s special session.

“Ed (King) has a very unique problem that our industry is aware of. I’m unaware of any other wineries in the state with that problem — a restaurant.”

— Gary Conkling, legislative representative, Oregon Winegrowers Association which guides Oregon’s land use policy, has also waded into the discussion with a Jan. 26 letter to Lane County hearings official Gary Darnielle.

It, too, noted the state law allowing only limited service restaurants at wineries, and added that King Estate’s restaurant also fails a two-part test established by the state Land Use Board of Appeals in a different case. To show that a nonfarm use is in conjunction with a farm use, the nonfarm use “must be either exclusively or primarily a customer or supplier of farm uses in the area and essential to the practice of agriculture,” department officials wrote.

“The department is concerned that a full-service restaurant, like a grocery store or gas station, will in most cases not be essential to the practice of farm use in the area,” the letter said.

Goal One Coalition’s appeal states that full-service restaurants aren’t commonly found at wineries in Oregon, a point underscored by Gary Conkling, legislative representative for the Oregon Winegrowers Association.

“Ed (King) has a very unique problem that our industry is aware of,” he said. “I’m unaware of any other wineries in the state with that problem — a restaurant.”

Supports other local farmers King said he’s puzzled by objections to a restaurant that supports organic farming and that buys fruits and vegetables, lamb, beef, chicken and other products from local growers.

“Food and wine go together,” he said. “This is a great way for visitors to ... Western Oregon to meet our wines, for the first time, perhaps, and enjoy a beautiful view and the foods that we grow here and the wines that we make here.

It’s much like any other place in the world that has a wine culture.

They have rural restaurants, and food and wine are combined.

Wine is treated as food, so the inclination to either suggest that people should not have good quality food with good quality wine, or to suggest they should have no food at all, is probably not good business on Oregon’s part. We compete for those global tourists with some places that have a heck of a reputation.

“It’s really more responsible to serve food with wine than not to serve food with wine,” he continued. “And it really shouldn’t offend anybody if it’s good food, rather than something that’s wrapped in plastic.

“Legally, I guess we can serve a frozen burrito from Los Angeles, but if we want to serve a meal from local produce apparently that’s not OK,” he said. “So legally we’re splitting the wrong hairs, and it won’t be the first time.”

King Estate, Oregon’s largest

winery by acreage and production, was founded in 1991. It built its 200-seat restaurant as part of a tasting room expansion in 2005.

The restaurant is unnamed, not promoted apart from the winery, and most likely wouldn’t survive without the winery, King Estate officials said.

King said filing the 6-inch thick permit application — complete with traffic impact analysis, photos and maps — required months of work and cost tens of thousands of dollars.

“It’s an elaborate process that just involves a little restaurant in the country, but we have all these employees that work there, and we have all these farmers that sell their produce to us, so we felt we really had to continue to make the effort,” he said.

King Estate has 75,000 to 150,000 visitors each year. It employs about 200 people, not counting seasonal workers, and its annual payroll is about $5.7 million, company officials said.

Goal One Coalition has a Lebanon address, but several of its board members are Lane County residents, including Nena Lovinger and Robert Emmons, founding members of LandWatch Lane County; Mona Linstromberg, past president of LandWatch Lane County; and Tom Bowerman, founder of McKenzie River Trust.

The coalition’s senior fellow Jim Just and board president Lovinger did not return calls from The (Eugene) Register-Guard.

“We feel like what we’re doing is all positive for the community here — the people we employ, the taxes we pay, the farmers we support,” King said. “But we’re aware that for some people land use is an obsession, and there’s very little they like that doesn’t fit within very tight strictures.”

“I think there’s a few people out there that sort of have a puritanical idea of land use that kind of like to press their point of view on everybody else, even if it means we all have fewer choices about how we enjoy ourselves in Lane County and Western Oregon,” he said.

No complaints from neighbors King said the winery has received no complaints from its neighbors about commercial activities, which county officials confirm.

Girard, of the Southern Willamette Wineries Association, said he’s glad that Oregon wineries and counties are discussing these issues sooner rather than later.

“I used to make wine in Napa Valley, and I went through the same sort of issues (there) maybe 15 years ago,” he said. “So I was telling Oregon (wine industry leaders), ‘Hey, it’s coming, and we can either wait until this issue comes up and grabs us, or we can

start dealing with it right now.’ ” Girard formerly served on the Oregon Winegrowers Association’s land use and natural resources committee. That group is forwarding ideas to the Legislature for a bill that would help clarify the types of events wineries would be allowed to host in conjunction with the sale and marketing of their wines, Conkling said.

Avoid California wine country mistakes Girard said he’d like to see Oregon avoid the mistakes made in California wine country.

“It was horrible in Napa Valley,” he said. “Some of the wineries did whatever they wanted putting in restaurants without proper permitting, selling all kinds of stuff, going beyond the hours they were supposed to be opened, opening huge cheese shops. It built anti-winery sentiment.”

Community backlash peaked when wine makers built on steep property in St. Helena, threatening the area’s source of drinking water, Girard said.

“Before that, the wine business in Napa thought they were above regulations, and it was that error that changed the whole sentiment between the wineries and the community,” he said. “All of a sudden we had gone from good guys to bad guys, and that’s exactly what we want to prevent in Oregon.”

Create incentives for school funds

O

regon’s K-12 schools get money based on how many students attend. Gov. John Kitzhaber wants to change that so that it’s not just enrollment that determines funding.

He wants to create incentives for schools to improve performance.

Education reformers like Kitzhaber’s idea. The Oregon Education Association, the union representing Oregon teachers, said it likes it.

Let’s do it.

But wait!

Before this reform can get started, the OEA says “the bottom line is it can’t be based on test scores.”

That does more than hamstring measuring performance. It guts it.

And the OEA is not just a little bit against using test scores as a measure of performance. It denies that giving a teacher more money because their students did well helps boost student achievement.

There is, of course, a challenge in linking funding to student performance. There should be a floor below which funding should not fall. Allowances must be made for schools with the neediest students.

If measuring performance is off the table, though, what is left? Graduation rates?

But wait!

That is also a function of test scores.

We suppose it would be safe to look at dropout rates. The trouble is that

doesn’t really tell us how well schools are educating the students they are educating.

On Wednesday, Superintendent of Public Instruction Susan Castillo proudly announced that Oregon has made progress in expanding studentlevel data on tracking performance.

The state even has a grant to link student and teacher data. Too bad the OEA says Oregon shouldn’t use it.

Or maybe what Oregonians should do is tell their legislators not to let the OEA dictate education policy. Let’s at least wait and judge Kitzhaber’s proposal for incentives and what it does with testing data when it comes out.

The state’s 197 school boards make most of the decisions about how money for schools should be invested. An important part of that process is negotiations with unions for teachers and other staff. Still, Oregonians do have a right to insist on performance from their schools, whether or not they will ever have children in the schools. Money for schools makes up about 40 percent of the state’s general fund budget.

Think about Kitzhaber’s plan for incentives this way: All teachers — with the same level of education and the same level of experience — are not created equal. They shouldn’t then automatically get the same pay.

Goss right to ask for open hearing D

eena Goss of Madras is doing something admirable: She is demanding that when the Jefferson County Commission discusses her job performance next week, it do so in public.

Questions have been raised about what Goss did or didn’t do with county money. As the county treasurer, Goss is an elected official and the commission, no matter what the evidence, cannot fire her. It can, however, take other action that might make her uncomfortable. Clearly, she believes she has right on her side, and no doubt it’s that belief that has pushed her to request a public rather than private hearing.

She has that right, as do other public employees in Oregon, though very few exercise it. Most opt to allow charges and complaints against them to be heard in private. The result is that, no matter what the outcome, any questions members of the public have about either the process or the employee go unanswered. That leaves all too much room for rumor to take over when fact would serve all parties better, including the public that must pay the salaries of both the accused and those making the charges.

Rumor won’t be allowed to take

B ecause (D eena Goss) has opted for a public discussion of the issues surrounding her performance of the duties of county treasurer, the press may attend and report upon the session. over in the Goss matter, however. Because she has opted for a public discussion of the issues surrounding her performance of the duties of county treasurer, the press may attend and report upon the session. In addition, if the county commission allows it, both supporters and detractors of Goss may make comments on her performance.

If there is one potential problem with a public airing of Goss’s troubles, it is the possibility that the session will not be kept orderly. That can happen all too easily when job performance of a public official is under scrutiny. We don’t expect that to be a problem here, however. Rather, we suspect that parties, including members of the public, will treat the session with the gravity it deserves.

My Nickel’s Worth Bad comparison I am writing concerning your article in the Feb. 10 Bulletin regarding Senate Bill 536, which would prohibit retailers from using single-use plastic bags starting Nov. 11. Shoppers would have to bring their own bags or pay 5 cents for each paper bag supplied by the store.

Sen. Mark Hass, one of the bill’s sponsors, said, “The last time Oregon’s litter problem was this bad, Oregon responded with the bottle bill.” This is like comparing apples and oranges.

If Hass wants to charge shoppers 5 cents for the use of paper bags, then we should be able to take the paper bags back to the store and be refunded 5 cents for each bag!

This would not only save trees but also the spotted owl.

Jerry Trapp Prineville

correctly that the students need to be proud of the name of their school.

I do not see how “Sage” or “Ridgeview” will generate pride.

On the other hand, naming schools after presidents or congressmen, alive or deceased, is guaranteed to generate heartburn for at least a portion of the population.

In our community, we have one individual who is not a politician, and can provide the pride needed by the occupants of the new school. Bob Maxwell has been suggested to the committee — not by me — as a perfect candidate.

He has strong ties to the community, is a Medal of Honor recipient, and has himself been an educator. He is also the nicest and most modest gentleman you can find.

The committee needs to start over.

Steve Kessler Redmond

a disease called dental fluorosis.

3. Most recently, a study by The Scientific American concluded that “fluoride can subtly alter endocrine function, especially in the thyroid — the gland that produces hormones regulating growth and metabolism.”

Could it possibly be related with one in every 91 children now being born with autism? Folks, the dangers of fluoride builds up over time in the human body.

Educate yourself and your family — especially if your children attend a public school. Speak up against this insanity! We don’t need more drugs, more risky vaccines or more government mandates.

John Melton Bend

Bad choices for school

Fluoride is not a solution

My wife and I don’t have any kids, never have and never will. But our property taxes pay for the education of the children of others, always have and always will. That’s the way it is, and it is justified by the benefits provided to the community by an educated work force — which is why I jump into the fray regarding the naming of a new Redmond High School.

The “finalists” being considered are just silly, with two of them incorporating generic “views.”

The head of the committee has put far more time into the process than I have, but her last school-naming committee chose to select the name of a ubiquitous shrub.

One member of the committee stated

The Bulletin is doing the local residents a huge disservice by trying to make a case for adding a deadly poison, sodium fluoride, to our drinking water.

Sodium fluoride is commonly used as a rat poison.

Quoting local dentists, Rex Gibson and Steve Christensen as factual experts is yet another example of corporate media’s biased journalism. As members of the American Dental Association, they are incorrect.

Google “risks of fluoride” and you’ll find: 1. Since 1997, fluoride is listed by the FDA as a prescription drug.

2. The ADA admits that young children who drink fluoridated water risk

I have followed the articles in the papers on Jefferson County Treasurer Deena Goss.

It seems to me that Jefferson County has more problems than Goss.

I am not defending Goss, but this problem has been going on for they say about three years. We elect county commissioners to look out for the county. It is hard for me to believe that if they were doing their job they would have known where the county’s approximately $60,000,000 is invested.

If they did not know, why didn’t they? Do we elect our county commissioners for a glorified position or to do a job. What have they been doing the last three years?

Rights in Deschutes National Forest narrower than you may think

By Rico Burgess Bulletin guest columnist

T

he “I have a right”/“my dog has a right” debate to ski on the Deschutes National Forest is at the boiling point and is threatening to spill over and melt the snow everybody wants to ski on. Graffiti has shown up at various sno-parks regarding the issue.

As a recent retired Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer on the Deschutes, let me clarify a few points. I patrolled the Deschutes National Forest for 20 years. My daughters grew up on Mount Bachelor and learned to cross-country ski at Dutchman Flat and Swampy lakes. There are not many places I have not been between Jefferson Creek, Walker Mountain, Muskrat Cabin and Aspen Flats.

As a law enforcement ranger, I have had this “right” conversation many times and was constantly amazed to the many “rights” I was not aware of. It may come as a surprise to some, but there is

no right to access the national forest.

The Forest Reserve Act of 1891 authorized the withdrawing of land from the public domain and created Forest Reserves. The Act of June 4, 1897, (16 USC 551) grants the secretary of agriculture authority to make rules and regulations as to regulate the occupancy and use of the forests.

The Transfer Act of March 3, 1905, (16 USC 559) transferred Forest Reserves to the newly created U.S. Forest Service and authorized forest officers/employees to make arrest for the violation of laws and regulations relating to National Forests. Under this statue, forest officers have the authority to take action on violation of law or regulation committed on federal or non-federal lands, which create an actual or potential hazard to National Forest System lands, resources and forest users. This simply means the U.S. Forest Service law enforcement officer can go just about anyplace and contact any persons regarding the interest of the U.S. Forest.

IN MY VIEW The Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 261.58 (s) has been cited throughout this debate as “knowingly misusing regulations to deny access to dog owners.” The regulation falls under CFR 261.50. Subpart (a) authorizes the chief, regional forester and the forest supervisors to issue orders, which close or restrict the use of the national forest. This allows each national forest supervisor a unique tool to protect the forest, provide for public safety and sustainably manage the resources we all love.

Regarding the dog issue, the forest supervisor has issued forest order DES-2003-005, CFR 261.58 (s) which prohibits “possessing, storing, or transporting any bird, fish, or other animal or parts thereof, as specified in the order.” Specified in the order is the key phase. Dogs are specified, and not to be possessed in the areas specified by the order. This CFR can also be used as

you might imagine for the illegal transporting or possession of “bait fish,” illegal wildlife parts or the need to restrict livestock from riparian areas. Perhaps your pet truffle pig or your pickup full of rattlesnakes (I have come across both) is prohibited. On many occasions, forest orders mirror state regulations, i.e., fish and game laws, traffic regulations, wildlife refuges, etc. The “order” issued specifying the restricted or prohibited activity is always accompanied by an assessment need and enforcement plan available to the public. This assessment and intent is stated, “Keeping dogs to the south will keep the traditional north side of Century Drive winter trail experience relatively safe, free of conflict, noise and unwanted dog encounters.”

Additional, 36 CFR 261.50 (f) states “any person wishing to use a National Forest System road, or trail or apportion of the National Forest System, should contact the supervisor, director, administrator or district ranger to ascertain the special restrictions which may be

applicable thereto.” I have heard many defendants in federal court use the “I didn’t know” defense to little avail and listened to the federal magistrate explain the citizens’ responsibility to know the rules before you go.

Right? It is a privilege. Bluffing? I think not.

The real issue is that the Deschutes is unique and special and everybody wants a piece. The U.S. Forest Service is trying hard to accommodate the public. However, occupation and activities will have to be restricted at some point for the sustainability of the land. My grandfather skied across pristine forest and lakes in solitude in the 1920s in the Klamath and Deschutes forests. His wooden skis hang on my wall to that testament. Today the parking is spilling out onto Century Drive. We all need to be law-abiding, realistic and involved.

Redmond Continued from C1 The negative comments broke into two broad categories: Some condemned the names, while others criticized the process.

One person wanted the district to start the process over.

“You need somebody on that committee with some artist flair, start over! And yes I could do better in ten minutes of brainstorming and yes I’ll volunteer, you obviously need help,” one person wrote.

Another person wrote in to criticize how the district ran the process. That person wrote it “was sad that you did not ac-

cept/ask comments before narrowing it down to just three choices.” But the district did request comments from the community, receiving about 125.

School board Chairman Jim Erickson said the district has attempted to be as open as possible, seeking input from the public and using a volunteer committee to pick finalists.

The board, he said, has the final say on what the school will be named, though it will use the comments to inform its decision. “(The comments) are information, that’s for sure,” Erickson said. “The response certainly isn’t a mandate by any means.”

Elizabeth Ann Flanders June 3, 1957 - February 12, 2011 Elizabeth Ann Flanders was born on June 3, 1957, to Jack and Ila Morris, and was taken home to be with Jesus on February 12, 2011. She spent her childhood and early adult years in Idaho near Burley, and moved to Bend in 1992.

She was married to Liz Flanders Dr. Richard Flanders on January 13, 1996, and had just celebrated her 15-year anniversary.

She worked for the downtown US Bank for nearly 13 years. She left her daughters, Christy, Carrie and Cassandra, and 13 grandchildren. Her greatest joy was spending time with family. She loved to garden, scrapbook, camping, boating, fishing, skiing and reading her bible. She was a member of Westside Church and very active in women's bible studies, ministry training and hospice volunteering. She had a calling to help the elderly and loved spending time with and helping them. She often spoke about "being ready anytime the Lord wants me," and that gives peace and happiness to her family and friends. She was a true woman of God, leading by example. Being forgiving, loving and compassionate, was part of her nature and she was friends with anyone she met. Her beautiful smile, stunning blue eyes and golden blonde hair were ready to greet strangers, friends and family at any given time. She will be greatly missed on this earth, but will be rejoicing in heaven until we are all together again.

school board is still scheduled to pick a name at its next meeting Feb. 23. The board policy dictates that a committee will select finalists before the board makes a final decision. Erickson said he was not certain how the vote will play out or even if the board would vote at the next meeting.

“There’s a policy in place. To do something different would require some degree of backing up and rethinking and all those kinds of things,” Erickson said.

“I really don’t know what the board is going to do.”

Joanne Siegel, who hired herself out as a model to an aspiring comic book artist, Joe Shuster, and thus became the first physical incarnation of Superman’s love interest, Lois Lane, is seen in the 1940s. Siegel died Saturday in Santa Monica, Calif. She was 93.

First model for Superman’s Lois Lane dies in California New York Times News Service

Joanne Siegel, who as a Cleveland teenager during the Depression hired herself out as a model to an aspiring comic book artist, Joe Shuster, and thus became the first physical incarnation of Lois Lane, Superman’s love interest, died Saturday in Santa Monica, Calif. She was 93.

Siegel was married to Shuster’s partner and Superman co-creator, the writer Jerry Siegel. Their daughter, Laura Siegel Larson, confirmed her death.

A high school girl with an ambitious nature and stars in her eyes, young Joanne, like teenagers everywhere, was seeking a way to earn some money when she posed for the first time as Lois Lane. It was probably 1935, her daughter said, and “somebody had told her modeling was easy,” so she placed a brief ad in the classified section of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, declaring herself available for modeling work and confessing that she had no experience. Most of the responses to the ad were requests for dates, but one seemed serious, and she presented herself to Shuster and Siegel, who were then developing Superman. (The first Superman comic was published in 1938.)

By that point the character was well along in Siegel’s mind; he knew he wanted her to be a journalist, and his model was a film character, a clever reporter named Torchy Blane who had been featured in a series of B movies, played

by Glenda Farrell. (In the 1938 film “Torchy Blane in Panama,” the title character was played by Lola Lane, a singer and actress who some sources — including Larson — say influenced the name of Superman’s leading lady.)

‘A few liberties’

Jefferson Continued from C1 During the same period, 29.3 percent met or exceeded the benchmark in math.

The school’s low test scores in math and reading rank it with the 18 lowest-achieving schools in the state.

Those statistics were the impetus for the grant money and for the additional courses.

“We have seen some remarkable results,” Kezele said. “The state considers an improvement of seven or eight points to be worth one year of instruction.

In our last round of tests, our average improvement for freshmen students in the additional reading class was 8.8. That’s an

Rural plan Continued from C1 “With wildlife, we got both sides, some people saying we don’t protect them enough, other people saying with all the public land we have, we don’t need to

improvement equivalent to one year of instruction completed in two months of the workshop.”

The school tests students in each grade three times a year.

If a student’s most recent test fails to meet the state benchmark, he or she enters the double-dose program, as does any freshman who failed to meet the standard as an eighth-grader.

Of the 647 students at the high school, about 300 are enrolled in the double-dose program, Kezele said.

If a student improves enough to exceed the benchmark, he or she can leave the workshop and earn their elective back.

While the extra course may be considered a stick, Kezele said, the ultimate goal is a definite carrot.

protect them,” Payne said. “I think the important thing is, we kind of tried to maintain a balance, because in both cases we heard strong opinions on both sides.”

Hillary Borrud can be reached at 541-617-7829 or at hborrud@bendbulletin.com.

“The current freshmen — the class of 2014 — they will be required to pass these tests to graduate,” Kezele said. “There are other ways that are much more difficult, but this is the way to make sure the students graduate on time.”

Superintendent Rick Molitor says he and his colleagues are “really excited about the results so far and the implication it has for our students. We’re showing them the expectations and what it takes to meet those expectations. It’s a no-excuses attitude.”

In any case, during the modeling session Joanne struck various poses — draping herself over the arms of a chair, for example, to show how she might look being carried by Superman in flight — and she and the two men, who were barely in their 20s, became friends. Shuster’s drawings reproduced her hairstyle and her facial features, though in the most famous of the original drawings, Lois is considerably more voluptuous than her model was.

“Joe might have taken a few liberties,” Larson said with a laugh. She added that her mother’s irrepressibility, ambition and spunk informed her father’s development of

Cautionary tale

A drawing of Lois Lane by Joe Shuster, who with Siegel’s husband, Jerry, created Superman. the character: “My dad always said he wrote Lois with my mom’s personality in mind.”

The daughter of Hungarian immigrants, she was born Jolan Kovacs in Cleveland on Dec. 1, 1917; classmates and teachers who couldn’t or wouldn’t pronounce her name properly — YO-lan — called her Joan or Joanne, and the second name is the one that eventually stuck.

Ship builder After her Lois Lane debut, she was an artist’s model in Boston and elsewhere. (For a time she used the name Joanne Carter.)

During World War II she worked for a California shipbuilder, supporting the war effort. Returning to New York, she re-established a connection with Siegel at a fundraising ball for cartoonists at which, according to family lore, the costumes were judged

by Marlon Brando, then in the middle of his Broadway run in “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

Both had been married; She was divorced and he was soon to be. They married in 1948 and lived in Connecticut and on Long Island before moving to California in the 1960s. In addition to her daughter, who lives in the Los Angeles area, she is survived by a sister, Sophie Halko of Cleveland, and two grandsons.

Siegel worked at a number of jobs during her marriage — as one of California’s early car

Of course, since then Superman as a character had become the central figure in comic books, television shows and blockbuster movies, not to mention the progenitor of legions of other superheroes. Siegel was the first in a long line of Lois Lanes, who have included Phyllis Coates, Noel Neill, Teri Hatcher and Erica Durance on television and Margot Kidder in the movies.

The story of the plight of Shuster and Siegel, whose lives were marked by privation, is one of the cautionary tales in the annals of intellectual property. In a series of legal and public relations battles that began in 1947, the families eventually won some compensation from DC Comics (the successor to Detective Comics), and in 2008 a federal judge restored Siegel’s co-authorship share of the original Superman copyrights, though how much money the Siegel family is entitled to is still being adjudicated.

“All her life she carried the torch for Jerry and Joe — and other artists,” said Marc Toberoff, the lawyer for both the Siegel and Shuster families. “There was a lot of Lois Lane in Joanne Siegel.”

THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2011

C YCLING Lance Armstrong retires once again Lance Armstrong is calling this one “Retirement 2.0.”

Almost a month after finishing 65th in his last competitive race in Australia, and nearly six years removed from the last of an unprecedented seven Lance straight Armstrong Tour de France titles, the 39-year-old cyclist made clear there is no reset button this time.

This time, he’s leaving professional racing behind for good.

“Never say never,” Armstrong laughed at the start of an exclusive interview Tuesday with The Associated Press, then quickly added, “Just kidding.”

His retirement ends a comeback effort that failed to produce an eighth title or diminish talk that performanceenhancing drugs helped his career.

“I can’t say I have any regrets. It’s been an excellent ride. I really thought I was going to win another tour,” Armstrong said about his comeback attempt in 2009, four years after his first retirement. “Then I lined up like everybody else and wound up third.

“I have no regrets about last year, either,” he added, despite finishing 23rd. “The crashes, the problems with the bike — those were things that were beyond my control.”

Armstrong remains shadowed by a federal investigation into the sport launched last year following accusations by former teammate and disgraced 2006 tour champion Floyd Landis that Armstrong used drugs and taught other riders how to beat testing. Though the probe is continuing, lawyers familiar with the case told the AP recently that any possible indictments are a long way off.

Pierce scores 20 as Storm girls top Cougs

Mountain View boys triumph at Summit

Bulletin staff report

Bulletin staff report

Down by four points at halftime, Summit rallied in the second half to claim a 53-49 Class 5A Intermountain Conference girls basketball victory over Mountain View on Wednesday night at Summit High.

Taylor Pierce led the Storm with 20 points, and Kaleigh Phillips added 13 points.

Free throws down the stretch were crucial for the Storm (3-3 IMC, 12-9 overall), who were 14 of 21 from the line.

Summit scored 17 points in the third quarter to take a 37-36 lead going into the final period.

“It was a solid second half for us,” Storm coach Ryan Cruz said.

Kersey Wilcox paced the Cougars (2-3 IMC, 14-7) with 12 points.

Jordan Wilcox added 10.

Cruz added that his team’s victory “shakes up” the IMC postseason picture somewhat.

If Bend defeats Mountain View on Friday night, the Lava Bears will win the 5A IMC outright. If Mountain View wins, all three teams will end the season 3-3 in 5A IMC play.

Summit ends the regular season with a home Intermountain Hybrid contest against Crook County on Friday.

Next up • Bend at Mountain View • When: Friday; girls at 5:15 p.m., boys at 7:15 p.m.

After taking a first-quarter lead, Mountain View harnessed its early momentum and rolled to a 53-44 boys basketball win over Class 5A Intermountain Conference rival Summit on Wednesday night.

James Harper and David Larson scored 10 points apiece to lead the visiting Cougars (2-2 IMC, 13-6 overall).

The host Storm (0-6 IMC, 5-16) committed seven turnovers in the first quarter, which Mountain View capitalized on to create a seven-point advantage. Summit stayed within striking distance, but the Cougars kept one step ahead and carried a 3323 lead into halftime.

The Storm did outscore Mountain View 12-8 in the third quarter but could not create enough of an offensive presence to derail the visiting squad.

“We were a bit sluggish on offense,” Cougar coach Craig Reid said.

“But our ‘D’ did a great job, especially against (Summit wing Mitch )Wettig, who I think is one of the best players in the IMC.” Wettig scored 11 points but was just three of 16 from the floor. Storm point guard Blake Soto also ended the night with 11 points.

Both teams play Friday, with Mountain View hosting Bend and Summit at Crook County.

MLB Pujols deadline passes with no deal JUPITER, Fla. — The St. Louis Cardinals made Albert Pujols what they said was their best offer.

It wasn’t enough.

So get ready, baseball: Pujols seems headed for the open market next fall.

The deadline Pujols set for the Cardinals to reach a new contract agreement passed Wednesday with no deal, making it likely the threetime MVP will become a free agent after the World Series.

The Cardinals said they will respect Pujols’ wishes and not request more talks during the season, unless their first baseman surprisingly changes his mind.

“A difference of opinion in determining Albert’s value simply could not be resolved,” said Pujols’ agent, Dan Lozano.

The Cardinals would not reveal their offer, though it was believed to be somewhere around $200 million for eight years, possibly with an opportunity for Pujols to obtain an ownership stake in the franchise once his playing days are complete.

A nine-time All-Star, Pujols is the only player in major league history to hit 30 or more home runs each of his first 10 seasons — all with the Cardinals.

C.O. teams keep eyes on the prize Bend, Mountain View and Summit have high expectations for the 5A state meet

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

At last weekend’s Class 5A Special District 1 swim championships in Bend, the event’s race announcer got ahead of himself during the boys 200-yard freestyle relay.

Summit High went into the fourth and final leg of the relay with more than a

11⁄2-second lead over Bend High and Ashland, and the announcer declared, “It’s a race for second place.”

Not quite.

Lava Bear junior Doug Steinhauff recorded a 20.89-second 50-yard split time during the final leg of the relay, propelling Bend to a come-from-behind victory in the race. Steinhauff’s split on Satur-

day, if he had swam it in the open 50 free, would have been the fastest district time in the state this year.

“That was crazy,” Lava Bear coach Kendra Anderson said about Steinhauff’s performance at the district meet. “He wasn’t even shaved down for districts.”

After taking fourth at the Class 5A boys swim championships a year ago, the Lava Bears have their sights set on an even bigger trophy this season at this weekend’s 2011 5A state meet at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, in large part because of Steinhauff.

An angler fishes for trout on the northwest shore of Prineville Reservoir in 2009.

Anglers looking for fishing updates on lakes and rivers near Prineville might be hard-pressed to find any information.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s fisheries biologist position in Prineville has been vacant now for about six months, according to Brett Hodgson, an ODFW fisheries biologist based in Bend.

“We don’t have a body over there to get the work done that needs to be done, and to provide that information and outreach,” Hodgson said this week. “And it’s frustrating for the pub-

lic because information is not always available.”

Still, Hodgson said that fishing on Prineville and Ochoco reservoirs should pick up in the next few weeks, providing lake-fishing opportunities in Central Oregon while many other lakes remain mired in snow and ice and are not yet accessible or open to fishing.

S B Basketball • Taurasi cleared of doping: Diana Taurasi was always confident she would be cleared of doping allegations. It finally happened on Wednesday. Taurasi had her provisional suspension lifted by the Turkish Basketball Federation, which said the lab that returned a positive test retracted its report after it “evaluated” Taurasi’s statements in her defense. The federation did not say whether the lab made a mistake. Taurasi had insisted that she never used performance-enhancing drugs, even though she had her contract terminated by Turkish club Fenerbahce last month.

The lab that tested her sample had said the results came back positive for the stimulant modafinil. With the lifting of the suspension, Taurasi is also free to continue playing in the Turkish basketball league, although she doesn’t plan on going back there anytime soon. “That’s pretty unlikely,” the 28-year-old WNBA star said. “I’m here in Phoenix working out and am more focused on getting myself in the best shape of my life and going from there.”

• Grizzlies’ Gay out four weeks: Memphis forward Rudy Gay will miss at least four weeks with a left shoulder injury, a potentially serious blow to the Grizzlies’ playoff chances.

Gay suffered the injury in the second quarter of Tuesday night’s 102-91 win against the Philadelphia 76ers. An MRI Wednesday showed a partial dislocation of the shoulder.

The 6-foot-8 forward will begin rehabilitation in a week and be re-evaluated in four weeks, the team said Wednesday in a statement. Gay is averaging 19.8 points per game and six rebounds per game.

Auto racing • Earnhardt Jr. wrecks Daytona 500 car: Instead of leading the field to the green flag in the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start from the back of the pack after wrecking his primary race car in practice. Earnhardt still could win Sunday’s season-opening race — he’ll just have his work much harder to do so. Earnhardt mangled his pole-winning car in practice Wednesday, colliding with five-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and sliding into a wall. Earnhardt was pushing Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, in a two-car draft when Johnson had to back off the gas for slower-moving traffic in front of him. Earnhardt plowed into Johnson’s back bumper and nearly spun him out, but Johnson saved his car from skidding.

Cycling • Contador relishes bike after escaping doping ban: Alberto Contador relished getting back on his bike a day after he was cleared of doping, and the reigning Tour de France champion finished 28th on Wednesday in the first stage of the Tour of Algarve. “Today was a great day for me,” Contador said. “The truth is it’s a day I enjoyed more than any other in recent times. I enjoyed being on the bike today like no other in a long time.” Contador, the two-time defending champion of the five-stage race through southern Portugal, wasted no time returning to competition after the Spanish cycling federation reversed a proposed one-year ban on Tuesday. Contador finished in the main peloton, 15 seconds behind stage winner Philippe Gilbert of Belgium • France beats Austria for team event gold at worlds: Cyprien Richard and last-minute substitute Anemone Marmottan helped France edge Austria to win the team event Wednesday at the world championships in Germany. Both teams won two of the four parallel giant slalom races but France took the gold because it had faster times.

Richard’s convincing win over Philipp Schoerghofer proved crucial for the tiebreaker, while Marmottan, who replaced Taina Barioz in the final, beat Michaela Kirchgasser by one-hundredth of a second for a key point. Sweden, led

by Anja Paerson, beat Italy 4-0 to win the bronze medal.

Paerson won all four of her races, from qualifying to the bronze-medal match. The United States had a bye into the quarterfinals but was immediately eliminated, with Bode Miller providing the only point in a 3-1 loss to Italy. In the team event, each nation has four racers, two men and two women, who race head-to-head against their opponents in four parallel races. Each win is worth one point.

Redmond takes league win in Portland Bulletin staff report PORTLAND — Redmond cruised to its second Class 6A Special District 1 girls basketball victory of the season Wednesday, ending the regular season with a 66-39 road win over Grant.

The Panthers (2-2 Special District 1, 9-15 overall) had no trouble taking a 16-9 first-quarter lead, that they turned into a 16-point advantage by halftime.

Junior posts Katie Quackernack and Jesslyn Albrecht scored 12 points apiece in the victory, Redmond’s fifth win in its last seven games.

“We really wanted to finish off strong,” Panther coach Nathan Covill said. “And we’ve done that.”

The second half of Wednesday night’s game was similar to the first half — only with less scoring from Grant. The Panthers, who tallied 26 second-half points, held their hosts to only 15 points after halftime.

Margo Capps and Albrecht each finished with six rebounds, Monica Johnson distributed seven assists and Karlee Nordstrom added four

PREP ROUNDUP steals for Redmond.

“Our attitude is to continue playing better everyday.” Covill said.

PORTLAND — LaMarcus Aldridge sheepishly admits that he paced himself in the third quarter against the Hornets so that he’d be primed for the fourth.

Although he said he probably shouldn’t have revealed the plan, it worked. Aldridge had 12 of his 34 points in the fourth to lead Portland’s rally to a 103-96 victory over New Orleans on Wednesday night.

“I was just trying to make it to the fourth with some energy left,” he said.

It was a season-high sixth straight win for the Blazers, who head into the All-Star break in fifth place in Western Conference standings and a season-best eight games over .500 — despite injuries to three-time All-Star Brandon Roy and veteran center Marcus Camby.

“I think we’re in a great mindset, a great place,” Aldridge said.

David West had 27 points and Willie Green added 24 for the Hornets, who have lost three straight and nine of their last 11.

The Hornets led by eight after the break, but Nicolas Batum’s dunk narrowed it to 86-85 and Aldridge’s turnaround jumper and free throw with 4:13 left gave the Blazers’ their first lead of the half. Andre Miller added a pull-up jumper to make it 90-86.

Green hit a running jumper, but Wesley Matthews answered with two consecutive layups for Portland to make it 94-88 and the Blazers controlled it the rest of the way.

Matthews finished with 24 points.

“So we go into the break winning. The thing is to continue to win,” Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. “You start watching the standings when you’re losing. As long as you keep winning, you know that you’re in good shape.”

Also on Wednesday: Cavaliers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 104 Lakers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 99 CLEVELAND — Los Angeles dropped its third straight game, falling to the league’s worst team, which avenged a 55-point embarrassment against the Lakers last month. Ramon Sessions came off the bench and scored a seasonhigh 32 points for the Cavs.

Continued from D1 Despite the recent snowstorms, the overall warm and mild winter should help fishing season start early in the two lower-elevation reservoirs.

“The water temperatures are going to start creeping up and the trout will start feeding more aggressively,” Hodgson said. “There should be good trout opportunity in both (Prineville and Ochoco reservoirs) pretty soon. People should take the opportunity to get some early fishing on Prineville and Ochoco, because this doesn’t happen that often.”

While both Prineville and Ochoco reservoirs are managed for rainbow trout, they are also popular among anglers fishing for the illegally introduced species of brown bullhead (also called catfish), crappie and bass.

Water temperatures are still too cool for bass or crappie fishing, but both reservoirs should provide ample opportunity for trout and bullhead, according to Hodgson.

On Ochoco Reservoir, many boat anglers troll with Rooster Tails, Blue Foxes or other spinners.

Others prefer to fly-fish on the east end of the reservoir, where in springtime rainbow trout congregate before moving up Ochoco Creek to spawn.

“The water is shallower there, and it’s a good place to fly-fish,” Hodgson said. “It’s kind of a challenge getting over there. Most anglers fly-fish out of a drift boat or a small motorboat.”

Fishing from shore is also an option on Ochoco Reservoir. Public areas near the boat ramp on the north end of the reservoir offer room to fish from the shore with worms or PowerBait.

“They do catch trout there, but I’m sure they’re catching a lot of bullhead as well,” Hodgson said.

Ochoco Reservoir contains a mix of wild rainbow trout and hatchery rainbow. The hatchery trout have their adipose fin clipped, but fishing regulations are no different between wild and hatchery rainbows (bag limit of five trout per day for both).

The wild rainbow trout drop down into Ochoco Reservoir out of Ochoco and Mill creeks.

Last year, for the first time, the ODFW began stocking Ochoco Reservoir in the fall. Previously, the reservoir was stocked during the spring.

“If you hold fish until the fall, rather than stocking them in the spring, they can grow bigger and you’re putting them in when crappie and bass are going off feed, so there’s less competition (for food),” Hodgson explained. “Trout have a better opportunity to take advantage of the food supply.”

The ODFW stocked the reservoir with 25,000 “super fingerlings” (6-inch-long fish) last fall. Those fish should be legal (8 inches long) by early summer, Hodgson said.

“Most of the fish people would be catching (now) would be the previous year’s stock,” he noted.

The ODFW currently stocks Prineville Reservoir — which holds a small population of wild rainbow trout — with 50,000 hatchery rainbow trout each fall as well. That number will increase to 70,000 this fall, according to Hodgson.

Despite the lack of a fish biologist in Prineville, Hodgson is confident about the potential for good latewinter fishing on Prineville and Ochoco reservoirs.

“Having that position vacant is a challenge both for us and the public,” Hodgson said, adding that most of the calls he receives about the Prineville area are regarding the Crooked River.

“The way the weather’s been, that’ll change pretty soon,” he said. “Particularly for lower-elevation water bodies like Ochoco and Prineville.”

D4 Thursday, February 17, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Swim Continued from D1 The Bend High speedster, who placed second at state last year in the 100 freestyle and third in the 50 free as a sophomore, won both those races last Saturday en route to leading the Lava Bears to the district title. Steinhauff, who also anchors Bend’s 200 free relay and the Bears’ 200 medley squad, which are both No. 3 seeds at state, is one of the favorites in the open freestyle sprints this year. “The 50 (freestyle) is anybody’s race,� said Anderson, who noted that less than a second separates the top three seeds in the 50 free.

While Summit High is not likely to win its fourth consecutive boys state title, the Storm expect to challenge for a top-four finish, despite their “rebuilding� year. The Summit boys’ 200 medley relay is the top seed for this weekend’s 5A state meet, and the Storm’s 200 freestyle squad is ranked fourth. “The boys could be second, third or fourth,� Summit coach Amy Halligan said. “Corvallis should walk away with (the state title).�

In addition to the Storm’s relay squads, Halligan expects big things from Chris Nyaradi (200 free, 500 free) and Connor Brenda (200 IM, 100 breast).

Individually, Mountain View freshman Brandon Deckard has his sights set on a pair of state titles. Deckard is the No. 2 seed in the 200-yard individual medley and the No. 1 seed in the 100 backstroke. After advancing no boys to the state meet in 2010, the Cougars have two individuals and a relay squad at this year’s championships. “It’s a really great experience, especially for those underclassmen we think that have a chance to go to state the next couple of years,� Mountain View coach Kory Bright said. “They get to feel that environment and that competition.�

In this year’s girls state championship, both Summit and Bend, Class 5A Special District 1’s champion and runner-up, expect to make a run at the hardware awarded to the top four teams. The Storm’s Madi Brewer is the No. 2 seed in both the 100 backstroke and 200 freestyle,

and her teammate Suzy Foster is ranked second in the 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley. Additionally, all three of Summit’s relay squads enter the championship meet seeded among the top three teams. “For the first time in a while, our girls team has the chance to shine on their own,� said Halligan, referring to the Storm boys, who have won six state titles since 2003. “If things go well, yeah, we could win it.�

Halligan said she believes that Brewer can win both her races and that Foster should take first in the 100 fly. “It could be an exciting meet for the girls,� the Summit coach said.

Lava Bear junior Jennifer Tornay looks to lead Bend High.

Tornay swims the first leg of the Bears’ 200 medley relay, which is seeded second, and she is the No. 3 seed in the 50 freestyle.

Tornay also is entered in the 100 freestyle and swims on Bend’s 200 freestyle relay. “She’s stepped up in events all season,� Anderson said about Tornay, who the last couple of high school seasons swam the butterfly and backstroke. “We’re really glad we put her in the 50 and 100 frees this year.�

Freshman Phoebe Weedman has paced the Mountain View girls this year, something she is expected to do again this week at the 5A state meet. Weedman has the No. 2 time in the girls 500 free and the seventh-best mark in the 200 freestyle. “She’s really competitive and will give the field a run for its money,� Bright said about her freshman standout. “She’s a tough swimmer who likes to race.�

In the Class 6A state championships, Redmond sophomore Rachel Haney is the No. 9 seed in the girls 100 backstroke, the Panthers’ top seed in any event.

Madras freshman Ian Goodwin is Central Oregon’s highest seed in the Class 4A/3A/2A/1A championships. Goodwin has the No. 3 time in the boys 500 freestyle.

The 2011 swim championships start Friday with Class 5A’s preliminary round at 9 a.m.

FISHING

“G

ary, you wouldn’t believe how many guys miss their turkey. I was going back through my journal and I counted 35 misses over the course of the season last year.�

That was Jody Smith, talking about his turkey hunts in 2007.

A hunting guide from Elkton, Smith is known around the country. Traveling turkey hunters, in their quest to take a bird in every state or bag one of each of the turkey subspecies, call him first. Smith went on to say that his hunters tagged 35 turkeys by the end of that season.

In the 2010 season, his clients bagged 64 turkeys, but they missed 28 times. Better, but that was 28 turkeys that could have had the honor of being main course at Sunday dinner, except somebody blew it. “Most people are used to wingshooting,� Smith said. “I have to talk to the people about aiming. They often show up with an all-purpose shotgun and they think that because it throws a large pattern they will hit the bird. But this isn’t wingshooting. You have to aim the gun.�

A turkey might seem like a large target, but the vital area for the shotgunner is in the head and neck area, which is about one inch wide and eight inches long. It would seem like an easy shot for a hunter to make, but it’s not so easy when the target is coming in through the oaks and the pines, bobbing and weaving, suspicious of everything. “I want to see folks pattern their gun before the hunt,�

Smith said.

That requires a session at the range with a turkey-sized target at 20 yards, 30 yards, and out to 40 or more. “I like to see at least five or six pellets in that head and neck area,� Smith said.

That translates to meat on the table.

Some hunters prefer No. 6 shot, but Smith likes his hunters to bring No. 4s and No. 5s that have fewer pellets, but carry more energy.

Gary Lewis / For The Bulletin

Russ Scott, of Bend, bagged his 2010 turkey with the help of a faux flock that included two toms.

With the surge of interest in turkey hunting over the last few years, there is a lot of specialized ammunition on the market. But there is no magic bullet. Most people have to try several loads in their shotgun before they find one that works for their gun and sight configuration. “Check for consistency,�

Smith recommends. “There can be holes, even in an extra full choke pattern.�

Turkey-sized holes.

It happened to me on a recent hunt with a bird at 20 yards. I was rock-solid, the bird was nervous and it wasn’t coming any closer. I put the bead on his head and squeezed and I could have been shooting blanks for all the effect it had on that gobbler.

On a turkey hunt, Smith is usually shoulder to shoulder with the client. Today’s turkey guns are capable of holding an effective range of 50 yards or more. But those shots are iffy.

When the turkey is coming in, Smith practices patience. Thirty-five yards is his preferred maximum range, 20 yards is better.

Most hunters use an all-purpose shotgun for turkeys with a full or modified choke. Smith prefers an extra full turkey choke. But even that can contribute to blowing it on a bird.

On a real close gobbler, it is easy to blow that head/neck vital shot because the pattern is so tight.

But missing is not the only way to mess up a morning’s turkey hunt. “The birds have incredible

eyesight,� Smith said. “If a guy gets excited and moves a little bit while the bird is coming in, it’s over. The other thing people do is over-call. People like to hear themselves. If a bird is coming in, you don’t need to call, he’s coming.�

Smith likes to position the decoys 15 yards from the blind.

The decoys serve several purposes, but the main thing is to draw the gobbler’s attention away from the blind.

When the season starts, put the imaginary turkey guide at your shoulder, his voice in your ear. Let the turkey get close, within 35 yards. Have the gun up and ready to go. Read his body language. Don’t move until his head is behind the bush.

Keep your cheek on the stock through the trigger squeeze and recoil.

The meat is wild and free, ready for Sunday dinner, untainted by industrial practices and additives. It’s there for the taking if you can reach out and connect. All you have to do is keep your gun up, your head down and your finger off the trigger until he’s in range.

Oregon’s turkey season runs April 15 through May 31. The daily bag limit is one bearded turkey. Hunters are allowed two for the season, except that a third may be taken in some counties.

FLY-TYING CORNER

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

Here in America, our fly-fishing tradition comes from the Old Country, from England and Scotland. It is a way of life that was carried not only to the New World, but also to Africa, India, Patagonia and New Zealand. The spider patterns represent some of the old angling methods and are among the oldest known types of flies. In New Zealand, they call them the “wee wets.�

One of the most famous of these is the Black and Gold Spider. It is not intended to represent a spider at all, but is impressionistic of a number of different food sources. Try this one dead drift on a floating line on a rainy day.

Tie the Black and Gold Spider with black thread on a No. 8-14 wet fly hook. For the tail, use red hackle fibers. Wrap the body with flat gold tinsel ribbed with gold wire. Finish with an oversized black hackle.

Hatches on Metolius create good dry-fly opportunities Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Flows are above average, but are dropping gradually. Fishing should improve as the week continues.

FALL RIVER: The Fall River is a popular winter fishery. Anglers are encouraged to note the special regulations in the 2010 Sport Fishing Regulations; the angling season downstream from the Fall River falls ended on Sept. 30.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: The water is clear and fishing is fair.

HOOD RIVER: Anglers are reporting good success on bright winter steelhead in the lower river. Steelhead anglers should expect fish numbers to in-

FISHING REPORT crease throughout the month with a peak in March and April.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Insect hatches should offer opportunities for good dry-fly fishing.

OCHOCO CREEK UPSTREAM TO OCHOCO DAM: Anglers should be aware that beginning in 2010, new fishing regulations went into effect that permanently restrict fishing to artificial flies and lures only; two trout per day and 8-inch minimum length.

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Although there are no recent reports, anglers are report-

ing improved fishing over past years.

Opportunities for 12- to 20-inch rainbow trout should improve with the warmer weather.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Anglers have reported catching larger trout than in recent years. Anglers should consult

the 2011 Sport Fishing Regulations for maximum length requirements and bag limits for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.

TAYLOR LAKE: Taylor Lake should offer anglers a good opportunity to catch trout this winter. The lake was stocked with legal and trophy trout in the fall.

Access is currently good with no ice or snow.

Bessie Butte

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

inter trail running in Bend can be frustrating. Spectacular high-country trails are covered in snow. Forested midelevation trails can be muddy. Urban river trails are populated. But there’s another option, just 10 minutes out of town that offers a solitudeseeking runner (or hiker or mountain biker) a genuine High Desert experience.

I occasionally drive to Horse Butte, a few miles southeast of Knott Landfill, where a network of trails crisscrosses the open country. My dog runs joyfully (and legally) off-leash beside me.

The Arnold Ice Cave Trail-Coyote Loop Trail starts next to Horse Butte and traverses the burn where the 1996 Skeleton Fire scorched 17,000 acres, opening up expansive views in every direction. Smith Rock glows up north. Endless sagebrush, distant trees and small buttes cover the landscape east and south. The Cascades range sweeps the west, the only boundary between me and forever.

Wahoo! Snow play back in session

By David Jasper The Bulletin

You can hear it in Deschutes National Forest Trails Specialist Chris Sabo’s voice: Winter is back.

“Whoa! Are we happy campers or what?” he said Wednesday. “We’ve gotten anywhere from 8 to 40 inches of new snow since Monday.”

People are hankering for new snow after the “winter drought” we’ve experienced over the past month and a half, he said. Presidents Day Weekend is the busiest winter holiday as far as trails go, and with the new snow, “(expect) very huge user numbers … and an infusion of nonlocal folks as well.”

By the weekend, he said, most groomed sno-park trails should be in good shape.

“The groomers are out, and they will be out up until the weekend, hitting it pretty heavy, catching up and knocking out any trees that are in the way,” Sabo said, adding that blowdown was not as heavy as expected given the strong winds that blew through Central Oregon earlier this week.

Temperatures should stay cold for the time being, and the forecast does not include what Sabo refers to as a

TRAIL UPDATE four-letter word: rain.

The new snow at lower elevations came in at a moderately heavy density, he said.

“It may not be all the powder that we’d like to see, but in some ways that’s good, because the low elevations still had quite a few, and still do, have low-snow hazards. Now a lot of those snow hazards are buried; a little heavier snow reduces the chance that somebody’s going to plow through some deep, light snow and hit a stump or something, at least from a snowmobiler’s standpoint.”

However, he tempers enthusiasm about the snow and conditions with a word of caution: “It’s deep. It’s challenging, and there’s potential for getting stuck. There is probably an elevated avalanche danger in the backcountry, especially with some very hard, icy layers underneath from all that warm weather we’ve been having.”

Around Newberry Crater, the snow

depths were not quite as exciting as at higher elevations in the Cascades, but gains were made there as well. Ten Mile Sno-park received about 10 inches of new snow, and inside the crater, about 20 inches of new snow fell.

As of a few days ago, Skyliner Sno-park was out of commission, he said, and the new snow should make the road to Tumalo Falls more or less skiable.

During the work week, Vista Butte Sno-park closed for logging operations, but it will be open this holiday weekend. However, users can expect the first few hundred feet to be chewed up by logging equipment. “Once they get through that … they’ll get into the undisturbed section of the trail going up to Vista Butte,” Sabo said.

The always-popular Virginia Meissner Sno-park trail system has received about 24 inches of new snow, and is likely to be bursting with users this weekend. Swampy Sno-park is a viable alternative, with overflow parking and access to Meissner via the Tangent trail, a groomed ski trail.

Horse Butte trail Greg Cross / The Bulletin

On clear days, the Cascades Mountains are breathtaking for much of the run, making it hard to lock my eyes on the narrow trail peppered with ankle-rolling rocks and tussocks of grass. When I hit the trail with a friend on Sunday, the mountains were obscured by clouds, the forefront of this week’s big storm. Often when the mountains and Bend are in the middle of some winter weather, it’s drier out east, and on Sunday we ran through spells of sunshine.

The trail had some soft, sandy spots and a couple of muddy patches, but was generally hardpacked dirt, a great running surface, which is typical this time of year unless the region gets a serious dumping of snow, such as Tuesday’s massive snowfall.

Family celebrations leave hurt feelings in their wake Dear Abby: My family was invited to my cousin “Kirk’s” wedding — a small affair for family and close friends only.

My brother “Ryan” and his wife, “Dawn,” decided to schedule their daughter’s first birthday party on the same day and not attend the wedding. The birthday party was at 4; the wedding at 6. The locations were an hour apart. We attended the birthday celebration and left early to get to the wedding on time, as did Mom and Dad. As a gift, we chipped in to get Kirk and his bride, “Kallie,” an upgrade on their cruise cabin.

They loved it. Ryan and Dawn contributed as well. The bridal couple asked that, since Ryan and Dawn didn’t attend, I thank them — although they planned to send written formal thankyous after their honeymoon. I called Ryan the next day to tell him Kirk and Kallie were appreciative, the wedding and reception were beautiful, and they were missed.

Six weeks have passed and my brother and sister-in-law refuse to speak to me. I learned they felt the phone call I placed after the wedding was “inappropriate.” I was “throwing the wedding in their faces” and “had no right” to leave the birthday party. I apologized, but they still won’t talk to me, though they’re speaking to our parents. Ryan and I were inseparable as kids, but now what?

— Hurt Sibling in Michigan Dear Hurt Sibling: Unless there is more to the estrangement than what you have written, the problem could be that your brother has displaced his anger at your parents for not staying at the birthday party and directed it solely at you because it’s “safer.” Is it wrong?

Yes. Childish? Yes. Can you do anything more than you already have to fix it? Probably not.

Your parents might take a moment to remind Ryan that they also left to attend the wedding, and that it would have been better to schedule the festivities ear-

DEAR ABBY lier so that everyone could have stayed longer. But if Ryan and Dawn choose to hold a grudge, nothing you can do will change that until they’re ready to let it go.

Dear Abby: My sister “Mimi” died two years ago. Throughout her 40-year marriage, she and her husband lived away from family and barely kept in touch, although we were close while growing up.

Since her death, my husband and I have tried to keep in touch with her husband, “Clint.”

The problem is, when I call him, all he talks about is the past, when we were all in school. That’s OK, but it invariably has some kind of sexual overtone — about what I wore or did. I have tried redirecting the conversation to Mimi — anything — to no avail.

Now I’m wondering if my sister kept Clint away from the family for a reason. He was always like this to a degree.

What do I do when the conversation heads in this direction? I don’t want to lose contact with him and their children.

— Uncomfortable in New Mexico Dear Uncomfortable: The next time it happens, tell Clint in plain English that he’s making you uncomfortable and tell him to quit dwelling on the past because it’s boring. If that doesn’t discourage him, call him only with your husband on another extension.

And as to staying in contact with your sister’s children — if their parents were married for 40 years, they are adults now. Contact them directly and let them know you care about them and want them to be a part of your lives because you are all family.

Harden taps into maternal strengths

By Luaine Lee

‘Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy’

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

PASADENA, Calif. — Winning the Oscar didn’t change her, says actress Marcia Gay Harden. It changed everybody else.

She won as best supporting actress for her role as the ever-patient wife in “Pollock.”

“I think I stayed the same on some core level,” she said.

“But it changed the way people perceive me. And therefore it probably does change me. It changes the way you see yourself a little bit. I think I do the same kind of work I did then, in the same kind of manner that I did then. I think I have a bit of a stamp of approval behind me, but I think what really changes your opportunities is being in a very commercial film,” she said.

Though Harden continues to morph into every role she plays, she still doubts herself.

“I work steadily, but it’s a different market,” she said. “You work steadily to come out with less than you ever would have before, on some level.

You can’t help but divorce yourself and consider the financial aspects, the time aspects, and all those things.

“But we all know the world changed,” she said. “ ‘Pollock’ was in 2001, as was 9/11, and the instability of the world grew. And on some level I feel it reflected within me as well.

I don’t feel like a more confident, more stable, more yogabased, granola-based woman.

I don’t. I feel that there’s this amorphous insecurity in life that seems to permeate my consciousness,” she said.

You’d never know that by watching her in movies like “Mystic River,” “Miller’s Crossing” and “The Mist,” or on TV series “Damages,” “Royal Pains” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”

“We have visions of our-

Marcia Gay Harden plays the worried mother in Lifetime’s “Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy,” premiering Feb. 21. selves and our lives and what they’ll look like. And then you live your life, and it doesn’t look like what you thought it would look like. And maybe that’s the biggest lesson — to constantly be grateful for what I have lest I become the complainer. ... ‘Why don’t I get ...’ That whiny thing that is very destructive and believe you me, I’m not saying I don’t fall into it. I’m just saying it’s maybe not how I want to proceed.”

Now, as the mother of an American coed who is accused of murdering her roommate on Lifetime’s “Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy,” Harden exposes her other half. That is the maternal half — the part that finds her home-schooling her three kids and fretting about their future.

With a daughter 12 and girland-boy twins, 6, she said, “It’s definitely a juggle, and the teachers are far better at it than

I am. They know their subjects.

And their teachers can teach in innovative ways. I don’t think that’s true across the system.

I think tenure and 1,000 other things have created something that has stayed. And if the biggest reason we’re having the kids go to school is socializing, that’s kind of the wrong message, I think.

“I can’t do it better than her school can do it, but at least I can have them with me this year when I’m traveling and have them see the national parks and go out on the lake and learn about winter, and what happens to the fish when the ice freezes.

We study genetics and evolution and all those things, which I think are just fascinating.”

In spite of the struggles in her career, Harden says her biggest hurdle was “finding the man with whom I wanted to have children and being successful and

having children; having my family. It was another world. It did change me.”

Harden has been married for 14 years to Thaddaeus Scheel, whom she met when they both worked on “The Spitfire Grill.”

“Children are the biggest challenge in the world. Joy, blah, blah, we know — but it’s a challenge that tests your strengths and points out your weaknesses. And it points out the things you need to work on because you’re helping shape young lives. So that single thing, husband and children, is the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life. And literally it points out every hole in my fabric — which is also opportunity, the opportunity to find the holes and to work on them.”

It was a catastrophic family tragedy six years ago that prodded her introspection. Her brother’s two children and exwife perished in a fire. “It will always be the tragedy of my life, but I’ve seen him go on to choose joy and to have a new wife ... and he just had a new baby. So that has changed me certainly — to recognize how precocious and precious time is. God knows I’m the most flawed person in the world, but I do have that memory of their spirits always with me to remind me of that.”

HBO doc a vivid portrayal of pivotal Afghan battle

By Verne Gay Newsday

REASON TO WATCH: Pivotal battle in the Afghan war.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Last February, U.S. forces attacked the Taliban stronghold of Marjah in Helmand Province. This documentary follows the 1st Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, as it moves into the town, building by building, mud-wall by mud-wall. British photojournalist Ben Anderson followed the Marines over a five-month period.

MY SAY: HBO and Anderson pack more into these 90 minutes — battlefield tactics, firefights, airstrike strategies, house-tohouse searches, working with the Afghan Army, efforts to build ties with local populations — than whole books.

“The Battle for Marjah” brings to mind Sebastian Junger’s terrific piece of reporting, “War,” without quite that level of detail.

Yet never once do you necessari-

‘The Battle for Marjah’ When: 9 tonight Where: HBO ly feel you’ve learned something, per se, as much as absorbed something. One special accomplishment of this film is that it gives viewers an absolutely visceral sense of what it must be like to be a U.S. Marine on the ground.

This isn’t one endless firefight, by any means. Much of the film is preoccupied with silence and the fearful expletive-laden talk that tends to fill it. You certainly admire the enormous courage of the soldiers and Anderson, but also the stoicism of the Afghan people. You tend to absorb their bewilderment as well.

BOTTOM LINE: A tremendous film that everyone — children, excluded — should watch. And don’t miss the closing credits.

Lohan will not appear on ‘Late Show’ LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan won’t be doing David Letterman’s Top 10 list after all.

The troubled actress, arraigned earlier this month on a grand-thef t charge for allegedly lifting a $2,500 necklace, was announced as a Thursday guest on CBS’ “The David Late Show Letterman With David Letterman.”

But it looks like the Letterman folks got had. According to a statement early Wednesday from Worldwide Pants, the show’s production company: “Lindsay Lohan will not be delivering a Top Ten list on Thursday’s ‘Late Show with David Letterman,’ as had been previously announced.

We made a mistake.

“Someone purporting to be a friend of Lindsay’s reached out to the show yesterday, allegedly on her behalf, and booked her to appear. Clearly, this person was not authorized to make commitments on her behalf.”

The statement came a few hours after Lohan herself tweeted: “I am NOT going to be doing David Letterman, I’m not sure how this happened, but I am sorry for the confusion. ...”

Comedy Central announces first awards NEW YORK — Finally, a golden statuette you can earn just for being a wise guy: On Tuesday, Comedy Central and MTV Networks announced the inaugural presentation of the Comedy Awards, described as “the firstever multi-network, multi-platform, annual event dedicated to honoring and celebrating the world of comedy.”

Scheduled to air April 10, the

Comedy Awards will recognize achievement in categories such as “late-night comedy series” and “stand-up special,” as well as more traditional nods for films and television shows.

This year, “30 Rock” leads the television nominations with seven nods, while “The Office” and “Modern Family” each received four. In the film category “Easy A,” “Cyrus” and “Kick-Ass” received four nominations apiece.

Even Ricky Gervais, that eternal enfant terrible of awards shows, was nominated for his stand-up special, “Ricky Gervais: Out of England 2.”

“It is an honor to be nominated for my stand-up at this, the firstever ‘The Comedy Awards,’ ” Gervais said in a statement. “In 68 years’ time, I intend to host it and get it canceled.”

Good and bad news for fans of ‘Portlandia’ Good TV is coming to those who can wait.

“Portlandia,” an IFC comedy series that spoofs Northwest habits and habitues, has been renewed for 10 additional episodes. But they won’t air until January 2012.

Created by Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen, and shot entirely in Portland, the show has hit a sweet spot with the coveted 18-49 set with its goofball comedy and parade of hot-list guest stars. Six debut episodes airing this winter feature appearances by actor Kyle MacLachlan (“Twin Peaks,” “Sex & the City”); film director Gus Van Sant (“Milk”); and musicians James Mercer (The Shins), Jenny Conlee and Colin Meloy (The Decemberists) and Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney), among others.

“Portlandia” is based on a Web series called “ThunderAnt,” produced by Armisen (“Saturday Night Live”) and Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney). The first season continues at 10:30 p.m. Fridays on IFC through Feb. 25.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 17, 2011 This year, others present many options. Sometimes you will feel as if your ideas are being ignored. Actually, they are the stimulus leading to many suggestions. Your creativity comes out more when you are aggravated.

Funnel this gift into problem-solving, creating success. If you are single, you are surrounded by a bevy of admirers. It is your choice! If you are attached, focus on your sweetie, not everyone else. Otherwise, you could generate some jealousy this year. LEO can be challenging.

A baby born today, Feb, 17, 2011, is a Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Leo. He or she is born on a Full Moon.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH A new sense of creativity and dynamic energy flows through your plans and any activity you take on. Don’t feel pressured by others, causing you to challenge stances.

The final product is important.

Tonight: Let your hair down.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Stay centered, despite another person’s attempt to color your thinking.

Perhaps if this statement refers to an authority figure, a little diplomacy might help grease the wheels.

Tonight: Head home and relax.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHHH Your ability to move through a conversation, help others understand and be receptive is a unique skill set. A child might be challenging or withdrawn. You can’t change this person, but you can accept him or her. Let your sparkly nature warm up the moment. Tonight: Hanging out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Know when you have crossed the line. How you share with someone that you’ve hit your limit could be very different from what your inner voice might be screaming. Use care when dealing with any money-related partnership.

Tonight: You deserve a treat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Open up to possibilities and question your direction, especially if you hit a brick wall over and over. Understanding will evolve quite quickly if you look at the signals and signposts. Tonight: Say “yes” to living in the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Understand another person’s innate fragility and use care when choosing your words. You, too, could be very sensitive and interpret a comment not as it was meant. Let go and relax. Explaining the confusion could be futile.

Tonight: Get plenty of R and R. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH A set of supporters helps you achieve a long-desired goal.

Laughter opens up a whole new perspective. A child or loved one might be a little difficult or confusing.

This person feels as if he or she isn’t getting enough attention.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You know full well what

needs to unfurl. Loosen up and enjoy what is happening around the workplace. You can throw your weight around, impacting the end result of a situation. Others admire your poise. Tonight: A must appearance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Continue to be spontaneous. You intuitively know which way to turn in order to achieve what you want. Detachment simply occurs because of an innate perspective. Don’t worry about confusion or a misunderstanding.

You will find the right words.

Tonight: How about a movie or a new place to listen to music?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Understand what is happening with a partner or associate rather than try to judge him or her. Together you can sort through a monetary issue that is impacting both of you. Loosen up with a friend. Confirm what time you will get together. Tonight: Continue a key discussion if need be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might be more challenging than you realize. An opportunity that comes out of left field might not be all that it’s cracked up to be. Understand what is motivating key people who seem to be quite sure of themselves. Tonight: Decide with whom you want to be.

Everything else will take care of itself!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Watch what is going on around you. Your ability to sleuth through a problem at work or an issue impacting your daily life emerges. You might wonder what is best for you, as opposed to what is best for the group.

Determining your priorities remains critical. Tonight: Recognize your limits. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Find Your Dream Home In

Outing Continued from E1 I rarely see more than two or three other people on the entire 10-mile loop, but it lures dog walkers, mountain bikers and horseback riders. After the first couple of miles, the houses on the horizon disappear and it begins to feel pretty remote, a little adventurous. I’ve been passed by bounding deer more than once.

Most of the time, the wind is the only sound in my ears.

However, as you approach Coyote Butte, it’s not uncommon to hear shotgun blasts, which justifiably makes some runners uneasy.

Wildlife Biologist Steven George, with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said there’s a target-shooting area in a cinder pit at Coyote Butte, and that’s typically what trail users hear. However, it’s worth noting that hunting is allowed on the multiuse public land. Coyotes, an unprotected species, can be hunted in the area all year, but that’s infrequent, George said.

In any case, runners, hikers and bikers should be aware that it’s legal to discharge firearms on the public land. I wear neon orange or green running tops whenever I go, and I avoid the area during deer hunting season, the first half of October.

George also said that during a trapping season between November and March it’s legal to place unmarked, unflagged traps in the area, so it’s wise to keep off-leash dogs close to the trail.

It’s also wise, I say from experience, for anyone exploring the area for the first time to go with friends, carry extra water and tell someone when they plan to return. Trails are windy, can be confusing, and many crossings are unmarked.

Snow can make things even more confusing. My cell phone works out there, which I was thankful for the first time I explored, got turned around, and wanted to let my husband know that I was going to be home later than planned.

Because of the high, open terrain, however, it’s easy to get directional bearings by paying attention to where the mountains are (west), even if they are behind a wall of clouds. Also, Horse Butte itself — which is where your car is — is a memorable red hill of cinders that you can see from many points on the gently-rolling trail.

How to find it: After your southbound car reaches the end of the paved Horse Butte Road (see “If you go”) and starts bouncing along the bumpy dirt road (Forest Service Road 1815), watch for a Horse Butte Trailhead sign that points to the right. The junction is right next to Horse Butte. The small dirt road is signed as “800.” Drive about a half mile down the 800 road to the official trailhead for the 10-mile loop.

There’s ample parking.

From the parking area, the trail backtracks (eastward) on the 800 road. Cross Forest Service Road 1815. Just a few feet north, pick up the single track

Trail signs like this are not found at every trail crossing. If you see this one, you’re on the right track. dirt trail and start running eastward for a big clockwise loop.

The main trail is pretty obvious, and when in doubt, go straight through trail intersections. After a few miles of gentle climbing up a couple of ridges, you’ll see a signed intersection (see photo) that says you’ve come five miles from the Horse Butte Trailhead, and indicates that the Coyote Loop Trail goes right.

The trail eventually crosses the gravel Forest Service Road 1815 again and leads through the woods back to the original trailhead. (This is the course for the annual spring Horse Butte 10-mile run, which is limited to 200 racers.)

An alternate option: If you want to shorten the distance a little, as I frequently do, park immediately next to Horse Butte, at the junction of the 1815 and 800 roads. Toward the end of the run, instead of crossing the 1815, cut back right (north) on the big gravel road until you see your car at the parking area next to Horse Butte. That’s probably at least an 8-mile run. There’s an obscure trail that runs parallel to the 1815 too, if you can find it before you hit the road, to avoid running on the road. But that one takes some exploring to find.

Don’t forget to carry water, and a map could help. “Treadmaps, Central Oregon, Part 2” covers the area. See www.treadmaps. com for information about which local stores carry the map.

Average and slow runners need about two hours to run the loop, solid hikers can walk it in three hours. About 90 minutes is plenty of time for the average mountain biker.

many cases become synonymous with injury and pain. It doesn’t have to be that way, according to a growing number of running experts.

Running form — from the tilt of the pelvis to the stride of the legs — has been under scrutiny in recent years, resulting in a widespread movement to rethink the way runners move.

The intention is mainly to prevent knee, foot and hip injuries and to keep people running longer. It might make them faster, too.

There are several methods that aim to improve running form. Most share overlapping principles. One method, aptly called Good Form Running, is taught at a local running shoe store.

“I had quit running for 10 years … because I always got hurt,” said John Benedict, one of the Good Form Running founders and an owner of Playmakers, a running supply store in Michigan. “All I did was change my form and I can run again.”

Dr. Eric Cadwell, 31, grabs a tool while working on Nathan Dayton’s teeth at PureCare Dental last week. PureCare offers a membership model that provides basic preventive care for a low monthly fee.

Dental Continued from F1 For a monthly fee of $19.50, PureCare members can get two cleanings and fluoride treatments, two dental exams, two emergency visits and Xrays as needed every year.

Dental experts recommend adults get X-rays every 6 to 12 months if they show signs of decay, and every 18 to 36 months when decay is not evident. PureCare members will usually get at least X-rays of their back teeth every six months, but could get more extensive X-rays if needed.

The cost represents a 45 percent discount from what those patients would normally pay without a membership plan. According to Dental Plans.com, a site that sells discount dental plans, the cost of two routine six-month checkups and adult cleanings averages $306 in Bend. Adult members at PureCare would pay a total of $234 a year.

Patients must first complete an initial exam, which PureCare is offering at a discounted price of $59 through March 11, and those with periodontal disease who need deeper cleanings more often may have to pay a higher rate.

Members also get 15 to 20 percent discounts off the list price for other dental work, and dependent children — including college students up to age 23 — get the same services for a monthly price of $12.50.

Members must set up a monthly electronic payment via a debit, credit card or checking account, which helps to keep overhead low.

The services cover the standard preventive care that dentists recommend for all patients. For those with healthy mouths and no problems, it could represent all the dental care they need for the year.

“The lifetime cost of dental care is going to be lower if you come in every six months,” Eric Cadwell said. “I can catch something little or really minor, put a small filling in. It’s going to be 10 times more expensive if I have to do a root canal or an extraction.”

If patients put off care, whether due to fear or cost, until they notice a problem, they’re likely looking at a more expensive and more unpleasant experience.

But a large majority of Americans don’t have any insurance coverage for dental work. According to the American Dental Association, for every individual without health insurance, there are three individuals without dental coverage. If that ratio holds true in Central Oregon, more than half of local residents could be paying dentists out of their own pockets.

Since launching the membership plan in December, PureCare has had more than 30 families sign up. Linda Nolan of Bend signed up as a member earlier this year after seeing PureCare’s billboard and the $19.50 per month cost.

“I didn’t have other insurance, and dental insurance is

really expensive,” she said. “I’m a widow and on a fixed income.”

She had last seen a dentist 13 years ago.

The membership plan does not constitute insurance, and the Cadwells had to work with insurance commissioners in Oregon and Washington to ensure their model didn’t violate insurance laws.

“Unlike insurance, this isn’t a use-it-or-lose-it provision,” Eric Cadwell said. “If you’re paying $19.50 per month and you only come in once that year, there’s unused benefits and you can have that credited to your account, or at the end of the year, you can have a refund.”

PureCare plans to offer membership plans to businesses as

well. The four owners of Cuppa Yo, a frozen yogurt shop in Bend, recently switched from a Blue Cross/Blue Shield dental insurance plan to PureCare’s membership plan.

“We’re paying half of what we were paying and getting far better coverage, as far as I’m concerned,” said Melissa Clayton, one of the co-owners.

The membership plan can also help reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients with insurance or help plans with annual limits on benefits go further. And membership fees can be paid with pre-tax flex spending account dollars as well.

Prostate cancers grow slowly in many men but aggressively in others. New research suggests that a group of four molecular markers found in some tumors can be used to predict whether the cancer will spread.

Published recently in the journal Nature, researchers analyzed prostate cancer tissue from hundreds of men and found a four-gene signature in some tumors was linked to a more aggressive growth of the cancer.

Researchers first analyzed the Pten gene because men whose cancers lack a working copy of this gene are known to have tumors that don’t spread. They then looked at other collections of genes that may also affect tumor growth. In a study with mice whose prostate tumors lacked the Pten gene and another gene, called Smad4, the mice grew fast, large tumors.

Ultimately, the researchers identified two other genes that are working partners of Smad4 and are also linked to aggressive prostate cancers in the mice.

The four-gene signature, Pten and the three other genes, was tested in tissue samples of men who had prostate cancer and was found to more accurate than the conventional approach of predicting the likelihood of further growth.

Right now, the potential for prostate cancer to spread is measured by analyzing the cells’ appearance under a microscope. The accuracy of this test is about 60 percent to 70 percent. The four-gene marker used alone, however, was accurate about 83 percent of the time. Combining the two tests could improve accuracy to about 90 percent, the researchers said.

“It’s widely recognized that many prostate cancer patients are treated unnecessarily,” the lead author, Dr. Ronald DePinho, of DanaFarber and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said in a news release.

“The vast majority of prostate cancers would not become life-threatening, even if left untreated. But because we can’t accurately forecast which are likely to spread and which aren’t, there is a tendency to unnecessarily subject many men to draconian interventions.”

As a toddler, Andrew’s reaction to food was often negative. “He’d almost have a full panic attack. He’d start sweating, he’d start crying, he’d take a bite then gag and even vomit,” said Amy Crawford. morning, even though toast and yogurt are choices, too. During a visit with Grandma, the absence of frosted flakes triggers a tantrum because it’s the first time she doesn’t get her way.

A problem eater is different, said Deborah Bruns, an associate professor at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, who has written about feeding challenges and young children.

“These are kids who will only eat frosted flakes from Kellogg’s, not the other stuff from the store, and it has to be in the blue bowl and with a yellow spoon or whatever,” she said.

For many kids, the cause is a sensory processing disorder. To understand, think about the act of eating an apple.

Messages from our senses smash together with every bite we take — the apple’s bright, shiny surface, its smell and feel as it crosses our lips, the crunch of its skin and the soft squish of its insides, the tingle and taste of its juice.

All of these messages inform a complex interplay of systemic feedback and fine motor controls and as we place it in our mouths, move it around, bite, chew and swallow.

“You and I can take in all kind of stimulus and can adapt to it.

We can go to New York and it might be a bit overwhelming at first, but we’d adapt pretty quickly,” explained St. Joseph’s Deering.

For a child with a sensory disorder, “it’s like a New York City in their living room. It’s just too much.”

There are other causes behind eating issues.

Severe food allergies have trained some children to see food as dangerous.

Consider a bad bout of food poisoning you’ve had: There’s a good chance you haven’t touched that kind of food since. That’s mild.

Karen Polisei, an occupational therapist within Beaumont Hospitals’ Center for Children’s Rehabilitation, recently worked with a 2-year-old. He was pleasant and playful away from food.

But acid reflux had repeatedly burned his esophagus. His body’s message: Food is pain.

By the time he came to Beaumont, “He’d throw a tantrum even getting near a kitchen or a high chair. He would not eat a thing. … That’s not a bratty child.

He associated food with a miserable experience,” Polisei said.

For other children, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other conditions interfere with normal skeletal-muscle control necessary for eating.

And all these issues often overlap.

Treating the problem Therapy generally involves the ever-so-slow reintroduction of foods. For kids with the most

adverse reactions, that might mean simply bringing the food into the room.

“The goal is not necessarily to eat those foods (immediately) but to increase their level of interaction with them,” said Dave Uchalik, an occupational therapist at the Abilities Center, a division of the Detroit Institute for Children.

Over several sessions, the food is moved closer to the child — on the table, on the plate, into tiny hands.

Ultimately, therapists help the child move the food to their mouth. The child will kiss it.

Lick it. Bite it and spit it out, before ultimately chewing and swallowing — a long process that sometimes means two steps forward with one back.

These days, Andrew’s parents hope to tempt him with the kinds of foods he’ll face at school when he starts next year.

“I’d like him to eat a typical lunch food, even chicken nuggets or a hot dog or a jelly sandwich,” Amy Crawford said.

But she, too, has learned the lessons of therapy at Beaumont: Be patient. Celebrate tiny victories.

“Today, he ate silver-dollar pancakes cut up in quarters,” she said. “A week ago, he would take an hour to eat a single silver-dollar pancake. Today, he ate four, just like that. That’s incredible progress.”

How to wean your child off junk food

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Kids used to a steady diet of sugar and fat can change — and parents can help make the switch less painful. “It’s about balance,” said Babs Benson, R.N., director of the Healthy You weight management program at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Norfolk, Va. “Frequency and quantity are key.”

Emphasize moderation. Offer junk food occasionally — not daily — and keep portion sizes as small as possible.

Educate kids. Explain that

you’re making a change not to punish them but to help them be stronger and smarter.

Continually introduce healthier snacks. Instead of Oreos, offer sweetness in the form of graham crackers or small boxes of raisins. Try fun shapes — like celery stalks with peanut butter and raisins, aka “ants-on-alog” — and healthy dips such as hummus.

Make homemade versions of favorites. Create pizzas with whole-wheat muffins, tomato sauce and low-fat mozzarella cheese, or cook “fries” by spraying potato wedges with olive oil,

sprinkling on salt and baking at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes per side.

Don’t cut out snacks. Kids need them to maintain energy.

Just put out healthy choices when you know they’re hungry, perhaps with a small treat on the side.

Get rid of junk. If big bags of chips and candy aren’t in your pantry, no one can raid them.

Involve kids in food prepa-

ration. They’ll be more likely to try new foods if they have helped select recipes, pick out foods and cook.

Make family meals a priority.

Serve plenty of lean protein, fruits and vegetables and whole grains. You’ll be setting a good example and reducing the temptation to grab junk on the fly.

Offer non-food rewards. Stop using junk food as a prize for good behavior.

Food consumption The Census Bureau has released its 2011 Statistical Abstract of the United States. Here’s a sample of its nutritional highlights, comparing consumption per capita from 2000 to 2008.

‘Spoiled’ is not the only reason kids won’t eat DETROIT — Go ahead: Play with your food. Mash it, squish it and build castles and faces with it.

Leave those fingers sticky.

Ooey-gooey pudding feels fun on your face.

And here’s the important part: It won’t hurt.

When it comes to working with children with severe eating issues — the kind that can trigger a panic attack at the mere sight of the wrong-colored or wrong-textured morsel — what Mom told you at the dinner table might backfire.

“What I tell parents is: ‘Whatever you’ve been doing, do the exact opposite,’” said Donald Deering, a behavior-modification coach at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland, Mich., hospital.

Deering and other therapists work with children whose eating is so restrictive, it threatens their ability to thrive.

As a preschooler, Andrew Crawford’s reaction to anything beyond pureed baby food was instant: “He’d almost have a full panic attack. He’d start sweating, he’d start crying, he’d take a bite then gag and even vomit,” said his mother, Amy Crawford, a nurse at Detroit’s Henry Ford Hospital.

Parents would tell her, “He’ll eat when he gets hungry.” Crawford wanted to scream: “No, he won’t.”

It was as if Andrew never hungered. He never fussed for food.

“You’d almost forget to feed him if you were out,” Crawford said. Andrew grew. His parents pleaded and threatened.

“We’d take away toys … but he’d rather have his toys gone than eat a grilled cheese. We’d say: ‘Sit in your room for a half-hour or just take a bite.’ He’d just sit in his room for a half-hour,” she said.

With husband Jon and daughter Olivia, 7, the dinner table in their Allen Park, Mich., home became a place of routine frustration, even panic, as the toddler refused to eat.

“It was all-consuming,” Crawford said.

The difference between fructose and glucose

By Melissa Healy Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — Many food activists and public health researchers are ready to pin a substantial portion of blame for the nation’s obesity epidemic on the skyrocketing consumption of high-fructose corn syrup, widely used to sweeten processed foods and beverages in the U.S. since the 1980s. But food and beverage makers are fighting back.

Glucose and fructose are both simple sugars — and equal parts of each is the recipe for table sugar. (Highfructose corn syrup is a bit more intensely sweet because it’s made up of 55 percent fructose.) But scientists have long suspected there are differences in the way the human body processes these two forms of carbohydrate. But much of that research has been conducted on animals, leading many to question whether the human body makes any distinction between glucose and fructose.

More research on humans would help. And while a study published online in the March issue of the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism raises more questions than it answers, it’s a start.

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University scanned the brains of nine healthy, normal-weight subjects in the minutes after each got an infusion of equal volumes of glucose, of fructose and of saline. The brain scans aimed to capture activity in a relatively small swath of the human brain in and around the hypothalamus, which plays a key but complex role in setting appetite levels and directing production of meta-

bolic hormones.

The researchers, led by Dr. John Purnell, found that “cortical control areas” — broad swaths of gray matter that surrounded the hypothalamus — responded quite differently to the infusion of fructose than they did to glucose.

Across the limited regions of the brain they scanned, Purnell and his colleagues saw that glucose significantly raised the level of neural activity for about 20 minutes following the infusion. Fructose had the opposite effect, causing activity in the same areas to drop and stay low for 20 minutes after the infusion. Saline — the control condition in this trial — had no effect either way.

What does a different response in “cortical control areas” mean?

At this point, said Purnell in a phone interview, it means nothing more than that the two substances did prompt different responses in the brain — that the brain did not respond to them identically.

Within some of the “cortical control areas” where differences were seen, lie some important neural real estate, including regions where notions of reward and addiction are processed. As scientists have a closer look in future studies, they should be able to zero in on which specific areas are affected differently by the two forms of sugar, he said.

QUESTION: I recently had a car accident. I sustained only a minor whiplash. My headaches and neck discomfort are reducing, but I am still feeling tired, and I cannot seem to sleep enough to feel refreshed.

Worse, I feel like I cannot concentrate or focus my thoughts, as if my thinking is “fuzzy”. This is scaring me. What is going on?

ANSWER: If you have unwanted hair, you have probably encountered some or all of the temporary methods of hair removal like shaving, laser hair removal, tweezing, threading and waxing (which is mass tweezing). Depending on what you have been doing to the hair depends on how long it Tana Anderson will take to get rid of the hair permanently. If you Licensed have been tweezing or waxing, the hair is probably Electrologist getting stronger and deeper each time you tweeze, especially on the chin, neck and upper lip. Tweezing stimulates the blood supply because you are injuring the follicle, and blood rushes to that area to heal the injury. In doing this you have created an environment ready to grow more hair. Through heredity you are born with a certain amount of hair germ cells which lay dormant under the skin – waiting. Electrolysis is a series of treatments to achieve permanent results. Any body part can be worked on. It is not a quick fix because some hair is shedding out, some is coming in, some is laying dormant resting but it is consistent in killing what has been worked on. When the treatments are complete you will be free from unwanted hair – permanently!

ELECTROLYSIS BY TANA ANDERSON

ANSWER: Firstly, our condolences to you on your accident! What you are experiencing is caused by stress. The fact that you had an accident is naturally stressful, and some of your symptoms are caused by stress, and in turn they themselves cause stress…

When experiencing stress the body releases a hormone called cortisol, which controls “fight or flight” reactions. This is functional for a short period of time. If high cortisol levels are maintained, side effects occur, including sleep disturbances, changes in thought clarity and diminished ability to focus on tasks.

At Healing Bridge Physical Therapy we have therapists who specialize in reducing these symptoms and training patients in self management of their stress levels. We can aid in the treatment and understanding of the effects of both the stress and the injuries caused by the accident.

QUESTION: My friend said she had great success being treated with cold laser for tendonitis. What is cold laser, and can it help with neck pain?

A recent review study published in the medical journal the Lancet shows that LLLT reduces pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain and compares favorably with other forms of therapy for neck pain - particularly pharmacological interventions.

The results of LLLT in this review compare favorably with other widely used therapies, and especially with pharmacological interventions, for which evidence is sparse and side-effects are common.

If you would like further information on cold laser therapy, please feel free to contact our office.

541.388.3730

ANSWER: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also referred to as cold laser therapy, is a painless, non-invasive, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of pain syndromes, injuries, neurological conditions and pathologies. Cold laser therapy can be used any time a patient needs a non-invasive procedure for the control of pain, when conventional therapies have been ineffective, or when the acceleration of healing from injuries is desired.

Cold laser is a non-thermal laser capable of penetrating deep into Brad Pfeiffer, tissue in the near infrared wavelength. Once delivered, the light DC energy promotes the process of photobiostimulation. The resulting photochemical reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolism rate that expedites cell repair and the stimulation of the immune, lymphatic and vascular systems. The net result, observed in clinical trials to date, is the reduction of pain, decreased inflammation and an overall reduction in healing time.

Laser therapy has been successfully used around the world for over 25 years, with no reported significant side effects. We use a laser that has been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome and other musculoskeletal pain syndromes.

QUESTION: I’ve heard diabetes management is important. Why is that?

ANSWER: Managing diabetes is very important, because there can be many negative effects on health if it’s not properly managed. Diabetes is actually a group of diseases that affect the body’s ability to convert sugar into energy. The main types of the disease are Type 1 and Type 2.

Winona Phelps, Some of the symptoms may seem harmless at RN first, and because of that the disease can go undiagnosed until complications become apparent. Symptoms include extreme fatigue and irritability, thirst, hunger, weight loss, frequent urination, and tingling in the hands and feet.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease. Management strategies include becoming more active, losing weight, controlling the diet, and taking medications. Vision problems, neuropathy (nerve damage) of the feet, skin infections and breakdowns, hearing loss, and kidney problems are a few of the complications.

EYE CARE QUESTION: As he has gotten older, my husband’s upper eyelids have become so droopy that I think it is affecting his vision. He says the surgery is just cosmetic. Is there anything that can be done about this?

QUESTION: I have an upper denture and I hate it. I feel like I cant taste my food as well and it makes me gag. Is there anything that can be done to improve this?

ANSWER: It is true that having an upper denture will decrease your ability to taste your food. Covering of the palate will also have a negative impact on your olfactory senses as well, meaning you will not smell your food as well either. With a decrease in Kelley Mingus, D.M.D. taste and smell it is impossible to enjoy your food as much as before.

Gagging due to an upper denture is also a common problem. Pressure on the soft palate can cause some people to have an enhanced gag reflex. Shortening the denture isn’t always an option because it causes a reduction in retention.

The good news is that technology now allows us to remove the palate from a denture. The placement of four to six implants can allow us to attach a denture to implants eliminating the need for a palate.

The result is improved taste, smell and retention. It used to be that implants and a denture without a palate were out of reach for most people, but fortunately things change and it is now a possibility for everybody.

ANSWER: The sagging of skin and fatty tissue of the upper eyelids is a progressive process that is quite common as we age. The treatment of the condition is a blepharoplasty where the excess skin and fat is removed in a simple 40 minute procedure that is done as an outpatient. What most people do not know is that the blepharoplasty can be covered by insurance if the drooping lids start to affect the peripheral vision.

Your eye doctor should be able to tell you if you would benefit from this procedure.

IDA ALUL, M.D.

QUESTION: I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and my doctor has advised “major changes” in my life including stricter goals for cholesterol, blood pressure, and diet. Why is it that the goals have changed?

ANSWER: Diabetes is an extremely complicated disease that effects your body adversely in many different ways. The most serious complications include blindness from diabetic retinopathy, heart attacks Kevin Reuter, and strokes from damage to your arteries, and kidM.D. ney failure from diabetic nephropathy. Thus, patient’s with diabetes are considered “high risk” when speaking of cholesterol goals, blood pressure goals, and dietary goals.

Because of this, your cholesterol levels need to be lower, your blood pressure must be controlled very tightly, and your diet must change to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed. Current American College of Endocrinology guidelines call for blood pressure values of 120/80 or less, LDL cholesterol values of 70mg/dL or less, and a Hemoglobin A1C value of 6.5% or less. I recommend that all new diabetic patients see a diabetic dietician for advice about diet and they need to see me initially every three months for fasting labs to monitor their progress and answer any questions that they may have. I would advise that you see your doctor at least this frequently during this critically important time after your new diagnosis.

Running

EXERCISE TIPS BARRE3

Continued from F1 Using the new style of running, he and his business partner — both in their 50s — felt better during and after long runs. They started teaching the technique in their shop a few years ago, and then taught it to other store owners across the country who could pass it on to their customers. The method is not based on scientific studies, he said, but on personal experience and anecdotal evidence.

“There’s probably no one singular form for everybody, but we just wanted to get people thinking that it’s important how their bodies move along the earth,” he said.

Summer’s twist Darcy Davidson, owner of barre3 exercise studio on Century Drive, demonstrates barre3 poses you can do at home. Barre3 is a unique fusion of ballet, yoga and Pilates, intended to balance, strengthen and lengthen the body. This is the third in a series of five exercises to run in The Bulletin on Thursdays.

How it works The four principles of Good Form Running are: 1) posture — run tall and relaxed; 2) midfoot — land on the fatty central part of your foot, (the outer side of the ball of the foot); 3) cadence — make 180 steps per minute; and 4) lean — gently forward from the ankles (see “The Four Points”).

During the free Good Form clinic at Footzone in Bend on a recent Saturday morning, 12 runners of varying age and experience listened as store manager Colleen Moyer led a whole-body alignment technique to correct posture. When she discussed cadence — which she said is the primary principle to remember from the clinic — a metronome ticked while everyone stepped in place. The Four Points are intended to make a runner “lighter, smoother and quicker off the ground,” she said. “That’s what we’re going for.”

Feet should push behind the body, not stretch out in front.

Think of a skateboarder powering himself forward with a leg stroke behind him, she said. This uses the calves and hamstrings more. Even a fit, experienced runner might feel sore muscles after trying it.

At the beginning of the clinic, the runners lined up and jogged through the store one at a time as Moyer recorded video of them from the side. Then — here’s the part Footzone managers don’t tell you until the last minute — Moyer told them to take off their shoes and run for the camera again. At the end of the 90-minute clinic, participants watched themselves, in stop-action, frame-by-frame playback, with a new perspective.

Most of the runners saw themselves striding out and heel-striking with shoes on. Heel-striking creates an inefficient braking effect, experts say. And the jarring impact transfers up the leg and can create foot, ankle and hip injuries.

When barefoot, the body moves differently. A lot of class participants saw their feet landing on the fatty midsoles instead of their hard bony heels. It was more of a pitter-pat, more like the form Moyer was preaching.

But Moyer was not advocating running barefoot. She suggested that people think about the way they run, and maybe incorporate some changes. Minimalist shoes — with less support and padding than the traditional clunky running shoe — can help discourage a heel-strike landing.

A small number of runners have switched to Vibram FiveFingers, a shoe that offers no support or padding, just minimal protection against sharp and rough surfaces, which structurally would be much like running barefoot.

The shoe question Daniel Leiberman, a Harvard University professor of human evolutionary biology, and his colleagues have done the most applicable studies about footstriking patterns in barefoot versus shod runners. His 2009 study said that for the millions of years that humans ran prior to the 1970s, they wore sandals or moccasins with smaller heels and very little, if any, cushioning. Those runners, the study said, would most often land on the forefoot or the midfoot before bringing down the heel. In contrast, shod runners mostly heel-strike, facilitated by the elevated and cushioned heel of the

blessed with the innate perfect form, he figures it’s never too late. Many track or cross-country runners, Hollander said from experience, were not trained in ideal running form.

Take Grant Robison, a standout track athlete at Oregon’s McMinnville High School who went on to compete in the 2004 Summer Olympics men’s 1,500meter race. During all his years of training, no one really talked about these concepts, Robison said.

He heard some basics, “pump your arms, keep your head still,” he said. Robison, now 32, suffered constant injuries.

After the Olympics he worked at Playmakers, the shop where Good Form Running began, and he hesitantly tried it. Elite and professional runners are often skeptical about changing something that they’ve been so good at, he said. But they are more open to the idea when they’re injured, he said.

“A big part of getting faster is just not getting hurt,” he said.

He started training for the 2008 Olympics. He didn’t make it, “but the remarkable part was, I didn’t have any injuries.”

Now he’s a recreational runner and a Good Form Running ambassador, living in Minneapolis and working for the New Balance shoe company — which has an agreement with Playmakers — to spread the word about Good Form Running.

You need to wash your hands for at least two minutes to kill germs.

It’s better to make sure that you are washing your entire hand, getting between your fingers and both the palms and back of your hands, rather than worrying about how much time you spend doing so.

THE REALITY: Dr. Richard Fawcett, an infectious disease specialist and health officer at the Deschutes County Health Department, said the two-minute rule isn’t hard and fast.

“It may be more the thoroughness of it,” he said. Washing your hands, he said, “helps pull the (infectious)

Meditation can change the brain for the better

By Carolyn Butler Special to The Washington Post

They are the simplest instructions in the world: Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes, clear your mind and try to focus on the present moment. Yet I am confident that anyone who has tried meditation will agree with me that what seems so basic and easy on paper is often incredibly challenging in real life.

I’ve dabbled in mantras and mindfulness over the years but have never really been able to stick to a regular meditation practice. My mind always seems to wander from pressing concerns such as the grocery list to past blunders or lapses, then I get a backache or an itchy nose (or both) and start feeling bored, and eventually I end up so stressed out about de-stressing that I give up. But I keep coming back and trying again, every so often, because I honestly feel like a calmer, saner and more well-adjusted person when I meditate, even if it’s just for a few minutes in bed at the end of the day.

Now there’s even more reason to give it another go: New research from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston indicates that meditating regularly can actually change our brain structure for the better, and in just a few months.

The small study, published last month in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, tracked 16 people who took a course on mindfulness-based stress reduction — a type of meditation that, besides focusing your attention, includes guided relaxation exercises and easy stretching — and practiced for about 30 minutes a day.

After eight weeks, MRI scans showed significant gray matter density growth in areas of the brain involved in learning and memory, empathy and compassion, sense of self and emotional regulation, when compared with a control group. In addition, the researchers referred to an earlier study that found a decrease in gray matter in the amygdala, a region of the brain that affects fear and stress, which correlated with a change in self-reported stress levels.

“This is really, clearly, where we can see, for the first time, that when people say, ‘Oh, I feel better, I’m not as stressed when I meditate,’ they’re not just saying that — that there is a biological reason why they’re feeling less stress,” says senior author Sara Lazar, a psychology instructor at Har-

Thinkstock

A recent study found that people who practiced a type of meditation for 30 minutes a day showed significant gray matter density growth in areas of the brain involved in learning and memory, empathy and compassion, sense of self and emotional regulation. vard Medical School. She notes that these findings build on prior research that has found positive brain changes in long-term meditators: “But this is proof that it’s really meditation that’s making the difference,” as opposed to other potential factors such as diet or lifestyle, she says. “And it doesn’t take long to get there.”

None of this comes as a surprise to dedicated meditators or to doctors who regularly prescribe the practice.

“The study shows that meditation induces certain physiological brain changes that are consistent with many of the health benefits we see clinically,” says family medicine and chronic pain specialist Gary Kaplan, director of the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine in McLean, Va., who recommends meditation as part of a treatment plan for every one of his patients. He reports that patients who follow this advice typically sleep better, have less pain, less anxiety and depression, and a better general sense of well-being.

Kaplan adds that this admittedly anecdotal evidence comes on top of at least a decade’s worth of research showing that meditation can have a range of benefits such as reduced stress and blood pressure, migraine relief, an improved attention span and better immune function.

Given that meditation is readily accessible, cheap and portable and has few if any risks, there’s really no harm in giving it a try, says Kaplan, who suggests that getting a book or CD on the topic or taking a basic class is a good way to start.

Achieving mindfulness For those who are skeptical or who continue to struggle, Hugh Byrne, a senior teacher with the Insight Mediation Community of Washington, suggests some tips for getting going — and sticking with it: • Seek the right style. There are many forms of meditation, with different objectives, and it’s important to do some research and find the one that works best for you.

• Practice, practice, practice.

It’s essential to cultivate a regular, daily routine to get your mind in the habit of meditating, even if it’s just five or 10 minutes to start, says Byrne, who recommends slowly increasing that to 30 minutes or more every day.

• Be mindful all day long.

Meditation “isn’t just about bringing awareness to your experience while you’re sitting cross-legged with eyes closed,” says Byrne. “It’s also a practice that you can bring into the rest of your life: when you’re eating, sitting in a traffic jam, or relating to a partner, spouse, kids or colleagues at work.”

• Don’t be discouraged by a wandering mind. It’s totally normal. “The important thing is just to notice when you move into planning the future or ruminating on the past or daydreaming, just notice that and gently bring attention back to the present,” says Byrne.

Elise Boldt, center, watches Jackson Urbach, 3, gets his blood pressure checked at Ronald McDonald House in Bend last week. Boldt is a community outreach worker, one of only a handful now in Central Oregon though efforts to train and employ more are now under way.

Community Continued from F1 “Some of it’s just not knowing what’s out there. Some of it is they don’t want to ask or they don’t think they qualify,” said Boldt. “Care coordination and follow-up is something that’s really lacking.”

The community health worker acts to bridge that gap, connecting people to medical, behavioral or social services they might be able to use.

“I’m excited about it,” said Nancy Jumper, program manager for continuing education at COCC who helped put together the program. “This seems like a really proactive way to try to redirect existing resources. It’s not reinventing the wheel, it’s using the wheel to its best potential.”

Though the job is new to Central Oregon, it’s been around in other areas for quite a while. Central and South American countries have long used lay people as liaisons, often called promotoras, between the community and the health system.

(There is a small promotora program in Madras through Mosaic Medical; it began in 2010 and has one full-time employee.)

And, though organizations have employed people who assisted with care coordination, notably case managers, organizers of the new program say it’s not the same thing.

The community health worker program “really is outcome based,” said Pat Kuratek, who manages the current crop of community

“The idea is to show clients how to use the system and then step back. It’s not case management in that sense.”

— Pat Kuratek, manager of community health workers at HealthMatters

health workers at HealthMatters of Central Oregon.

Kuratek said there are specific outcomes that the community health worker will be shooting for — getting people to their first primary care appointments, for example — and that the workers will be paid a bonus when they achieve these outcomes.

“The idea is to show clients how to use the system and then step back,” she said. “It’s not case management in that sense.”

HealthMatters, a nonprofit organization, pays the community health workers through its funds, including grant money.

Part of the workers’ salaries are paid by the organizations using them.

The educational program, too, is a different path than a typical case manager, who often has a master’s degree or its equivalent.

“This is an entry-level health care profession,” said Jumper. “It would be (for) someone wanting

to start out in health care and they didn’t have experience, time or money to pursue some higher level social work, nursing or whatever.”

The course at COCC is 80 hours of instruction and training over about 10 weeks. The first half includes classroom instruction about everything from how to listen well to clients to how to find community resources to how to protect the worker’s own personal safety.

For the second half of the class, students go into community organizations to practice, as Jumper put it “walking the walk.” Students will work in places where they might get a job after school, including St. Charles Health System, county health departments, Mosaic Medical and other area health clinics.

Right now, the course is a noncredit program, meaning that students do not walk away with a formal certificate or degree.

That may change, Jumper said, as the program evolves.

Boldt, who started the job in October, said she’s already seen improvements in her clients. “It really gives me a way to get involved with the community and work with families,” she said.

“A community health worker is really just an advocate for the family.”
