When did we start talking like texts?

By JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer NEW YORK — “ILY!” Susan Maushart’s 16-yearold daughter often calls out over her shoulder as she leaves the house. Sure, actual words would be better. But Mom knows not to complain.

“A mother of teenagers is pathetically grateful for an ‘I love you’ no matter what form it takes,” she observes.

Then there are the various forms of “LOL” that her teens use in regular parlance — it’s become a conjugable verb by now. And of course, there’s the saltier acronym used by son Bill: “WTF, Mom?!” But before you judge, note that former VP candidate Sarah Palin just used that one in a TV interview. And CNN’s Anderson Cooper used it on his show the other night.

Acronyms have been around for years. But with the advent of text and Twitter-language, it certainly feels like we’re speaking in groups of capital letters a lot more. It’s a question that intrigues linguists and other language aficionados — even though they’ll tell you they have absolutely no concrete research on it.

“It’s fascinating,” says Scott Kiesling, a socio-linguist and professor at the University of Pittsburgh.

“What’s interesting to me as a linguist is figuring out which words get picked up, and why. What is it that makes OMG and WTF and LOL so useful that they spread from the written to Continued on 6A

AND YOU’RE ON: Katie Ryan, left, and Alyda Blazek stand in position behind the stage curtain while waiting to perform as the opening act of the Will-Moore Elementary School Talent Show held Tuesday evening in Bismarck.

The event was part of the school’s 60th anniversary celebration. In 1950, the Bismarck School Board decided on the name to honor three people: William Moore, Oscar H. Will and George F. Will. This school year, there are 386 students.

The mercury went to 17 below zero Tuesday morning in Bismarck. But all hope is not lost.

Though lows well below zero were forecast for Tuesday night, along with an advisory for wind chills 25to 40-below, things are looking better temperature-wise for later in the week.

“We can see the light at the end of the tunnel,” National Weather Service meteorologist Todd Hamilton said.

Though the temperatures are forecast to remain frigid, around 10 in Bismarck-Mandan, for today and tonight night, things should improve heading into the weekend.

“We’re hoping for 20s over almost all western and central North Dakota” on Thursday, Hamilton said.

Friday, some areas could be in the 30s, while temperatures could hit the 40s on Saturday and Sunday.

At CIA, from mistakes to promotions

By ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZO Associated Press WASHINGTON — In December 2003, security forces boarded a bus in Macedonia and snatched a German citizen named K h a l e d el-Masri. For the next five months, el-Masri was a ghost. Only el-Masri a select group of CIA officers knew he had been taken to a secret prison for interrogation in Afghanistan.

But he was the wrong guy.

A hard-charging CIA analyst had pushed the agency into one of the biggest diplomatic embarrassments of the U.S. war on terrorism. Yet despite recommendations, the analyst was never punished. In fact, she’s risen in the agency.

That botched case is but one example of a CIA accountability process that even some within the agency say is unpredictable and inconsistent. In the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, officers who

THE INSIDE STORY

2 U.S. teens killed in Juarez shootout

Exec energizes protests

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Three teens, at least two of them American, died in a hail of weekend gunfire apparently meant for someone else while browsing used cars in Ciudad Juarez, a relative of one of the teens said Tuesday.

A fourth young man also was with the teens and survived the shooting, but now fears for his life and is seeking refuge in the U.S., Gladys Luna, the grandmother of one of the victims, told The Associated Press.

Luna’s grandson, 15-yearold Juan Carlos Echeverri was killed Saturday along with 16-year-old Carlos Mario Gonzalez Bermudez and 17-year-old Cesar Yalin Miramontes Jimenez. Echeverri and Gonzalez were U.S. c i t i z e n s . M i r a m o n t e s’ nationality remains unclear.

Juarez is the center of a turf war between the Sinaloa and Juarez drug cartels.

Koreas agree to Red Cross talks SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says it has agreed to hold Red Cross talks with North Korea on joint projects aimed at building good will between the sides.

North Korea had proposed that the Red Cross agencies from the two sides meet to discuss resuming a suspended joint tourism project and boosting cooperation at an industrial complex — both in North Korea.

South Korean Unification Ministry spokeswoman Lee Jong-joo said that South Korea has agreed to the talks in a message sent to the North today.

The announcement came as military officers from the two Koreas prepared to meet at the border today for a second straight day to lay the groundwork for higher-level defense talks aimed at easing tension on the Korean peninsula.

President Obama gives up smoking WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has finally done what millions of fellow Americans are still struggling to achieve — he’s given up smoking.

“Yes, he has,” his wife, Michelle, said Tuesday at the White House when asked whether he had conquered a nicotine habit that began as a teenager.

“It’s been almost a year,” she said, offering no details on when or how he quit.

But is the breakup with tobacco final?

One in five adults, about 46 million people, still smoke, and brain research shows that nicotine is powerfully addictive. Three out of four smokers who try to kick the habit relapse within six months, and repeated attempts often are required to quit long term, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Warning from Egyptian VP to end crisis soon

Associated Press

Thousands of Egyptian anti-Mubarak protesters shout slogans as they take part in a demonstration in Tahrir Square, Cairo, on Tuesday. and chanted for it to be dissolved.

In Tahrir, the massive, crowd’s ranks swelled with new blood, including thousands of university profess o r s a n d l a w ye r s w h o marched in together as organizers worked to draw in professional unions. The crowd rivaled the biggest demonstration so far, a week ago, that drew a quarter-million people.

Some said they were inspired to turn out by an emotional television interview Ghonim gave Monday night just after his release from detention. He sobbed over those who have been killed in two weeks of clashes and insisted, “We love Egypt ... and we have rights.”

“I cried,” a 33-year-old

upper-class housewife, Fifi Shawqi, said of the interview with Ghonim, whom she’d never heard of before the TV appearance. She came to the Tahrir protest for the first time, bringing her three daughters and her sister. “I felt like he is my son and all the youth here are my sons,” she said.

Tuesday’s huge turnout gave a resounding answer to the question of whether the protesters still have momentum even though two weeks of steadfast pressure have not achieved their goal of ousting 82-year-old Mubarak, Egypt’s authoritarian leader for nearly three decades.

Suleiman rejected any departure for Mubarak or end to the regime. He told a

By KARIN LAUB Associated Press

gathering of newspaper editors that the regime prefers to deal with the crisis using dialogue, adding, “We don’t want to deal with Egyptian society with police tools.”

He warned that the alternative to dialogue was “a coup” — a possible hint of an imposition of military rule.

However, editors present at the meeting said he then explained he didn’t mean a military coup but that “a force that is unprepared for rule” could overturn state institutions.

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden spoke by phone with Suleiman, saying Washington wants Egypt to immediately rescind emergency laws that give broad powers to security forces — a key demand of the protesters.

An anti-government protester takes a picture of a poster of Sally Zahran, age 23, who was killed in southern Egypt last month during clashes, in Tahrir Square, Cairo, on Tuesday. have been recounted on websites, in newspapers and on huge posters put up in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the center of the revolt that erupted Jan. 25.

“This gives the revolution a face,” said reporter Mai el-Wakil, who has begun writing a “Faces of the Fallen” column in the Englishlanguage daily Al Masry Al Youm.

Ahmed Basiony, a visual

artist, musician and teacher, had been in Tahrir Square from the start, compiling a video diary, said his friend, gallery owner Mohammed Allam.

Allam said he and Basiony had talked almost daily about their frustration with Egypt’s problems — poverty, high food prices, rampant corruption — but he was surprised by his friend’s intensity after the

uprising broke out. “He just needed to fight and to document,” said Allam, 26.

Late on Jan. 28, Basiony was separated from his friends. They found his body three days later in a hospital.

Doctors said he had been hit by r ubber bullets and apparently struck by a car, Allam said. He left behind a wife, a 6-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter.

Also among the demonstrators in Alexandria on that Friday was 21-year-old Ahmed el-Hag and his 16-year-old brother, Baha.

Their father, Magdy el-Hag, said he didn’t know his sons had joined a rally in the city’s Mohram Bek neighborhood after Muslim prayers.

When bullets began to fly, Ahmed, a recent university graduate, was among those struck. El-Hag said he was told later that a police captain from the local precinct screamed at the crowd, then fired directly at the demonstrators.

E l - Ha g s a i d h e h a d hoped that Ahmed would become a lawyer and bring him grandchildren. His death was a “catastrophe for the whole family.”

Woman accused of leaving newborn in toilet

By SUSANNE M. SCHAFER Associated Press GREENVILLE, S.C. — A young, married mother faced charges Tuesday of giving birth in a toilet at a South Carolina sports and concert arena and leaving the choking newborn boy to die.

Jessica Blackham was arrested after she came to the Greenville police station accompanied by family members. Police Chief Terri Wilfong said the 25-year-old from Easley has a 4-year-old child and no criminal record.

Uprising victims’ stories emerge CAIRO — A curly-haired 23-year-old marching in her first protest. A Cairo artist and father of two young children who braved tear gas and gunfire to capture history with his video camera. And a 16-year-old girl struck by an errant bullet.

The faces of some of those killed in Egypt’s 2-week-old uprising are beginning to emerge.

A comprehensive count is a long way off as some bereaved families hesitate to come for ward and human rights researchers complain of intimidation by authorities. A preliminary tally of 297 dead has been compiled by one rights group, based on visits to seven hospitals in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez.

The victims are Egyptians from all parts of society, say protest sympathizers — contrary to the picture painted last week by Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman, who accused foreigners of instigating the uprising.

By SARAH EL DEEB and MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press CAIRO — A young Google executive who helped ignite Egypt’s uprising energized a cheering crowd of hundreds of thousands Tuesday with his first appearance in their midst after being released from 12 days in secret detention.

“We won’t give up,” he promised at one of the biggest protests yet in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

Once a behind-thescenes Internet activist, 30-year-old Wael Ghonim has emerged as an inspiring voice for a movement that has taken pride in being a leaderless “people’s revolution.” Now, the various activists behind it — including Ghonim — are working to coalesce into representatives to push their demands for President Hosni Mubarak’s ouster.

With protests invigorated, Vice President Omar Suleiman issued a sharply worded warning, saying of the protests in Tahrir, “We can’t bear this for a long time, and there must be an end to this crisis as soon as possible,” in a sign of growing impatience with 16 days of mass demonstrations.

For the first time, protesters made a foray to Parliament, several blocks away from their camp in the square. Several hundred marched to the legislature

with us,” Wilfong said. “Their concern is the safety of the child.”

Blackham is charged with two counts of felony child abuse and one count of unlawful neglect toward a child. If convicted on all charges, she could face up to 50 years in prison.

Authorities said she was being held without bond after being arraigned at the local jail and would be appointed an attorney. Her first court appearance was not immediately set.

Officials said they could not immediately explain what Blackham was thinking when she gave birth Friday night at the Bi-Lo Center

where she was attending a circus performance. Arena workers found the asphyxiating child in the cold toilet water.

Prosecutor Walt Wilkins said the charges are serious because the infant was abandoned for at least 90 minutes.

“During that time a newborn needs to be in a warm atmosphere,” he said, adding the child was choking when arena workers found him.

“Workers saved that baby’s life.”

Authorities would not discuss the identity of the infant’s father.

The baby was found suffering from hypothermia, which an expert

said is one of the biggest risks for babies born away from medical care.

The condition could lead to infection or breathing problems if not treated quickly.

“When a baby is moist and has exposure of its skin to the air, it will lose heat very rapidly,” said Dr. Christopher Robinson, a fetal and maternal medicine professor at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

Roger Newton, president and general manager of the Bi-Lo Center, said he’d never encountered anything like this in his 33 years of managing arenas.

Snow reveals surprises

By COLLEEN LONG Associated Press NEW YORK — The mountains of snow that have covered the Northeastern landscape for the past month and a half are finally melting, revealing oozing lumps of garbage, gaping potholes, bicycles, rat-infested sofas, discarded Christmas trees — even bodies.

More than 57 inches of snow has fallen on New York City this winter, its snowiest January ever, and the story is similar elsewhere around the Northeast. Residents welcomed warmer weather this week before an expected plunge back into the freezer, but they weren’t so thrilled about the side effects. “This is disgusting. I can’t tell if it’s snow or garbage or some sick other thing,� said Karen James, 34, finding discarded bills, paper cups and sludge in the shrinking mound of snow and ice covering her car. “This stinks.�

Since a post-Christmas blizzard dumped more than 2 feet of snow on parts of the city, the snow piles have become as familiar as taxis to New Yorkers, forcing pedestrians to weave single-file through snow-packed sidewalks.

Two bodies were found in vehicles last week. In both cases, a passer-by spotted someone slumped over the wheel after snow melted away from the windows. One man was found dead Feb. 1

MILLER GENUINE DRAFT Reg. or Light 64 MILLER LITE

of an apparent gunshot wound; he had been reported missing a week earlier.

And on Friday, a day after he w a s re p o r t e d m i s s i n g , Argent Dyryzi’s body was found in the driver’s seat of a BMW. Authorities believe he may have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

At least one other body was discovered in the New York area in late January, in a parking lot in West Nyack.

The man had been dead of hypothermia for several days before anyone noticed, police said.

The city Sanitation Department is responsible for plowing streets and crosswalks, while residents and businesses are expected to clear sidewalks. After grousing for weeks about the city’s failure to plow enough snow, many New Yorkers are

now griping about the garbage piles and big pieces of furniture, some crawling with rats.

During the many snowstorms to hit the city, the Sanitation Department suspended garbage collection for days at a time in order to use trucks for snow removal, which meant about 11,000 tons of trash per day didn’t get collected. Some of it got buried by the succeeding storms.

Garbage collection has since resumed, but it’s not proceeding fast enough for some New Yorkers. “It’s like we’ve replaced the snow walls with garbage walls,� said Brooklyn resident Jill Coniglario, 38. “Even the parks are covered in mud and filthy snow. My kids are not playing in this stuff, that’s for sure.�

Odds and ends ■Fort Wayne, Ind.

What’s in a name?

A former Indiana mayor who won four terms in the 1930s and 1950s is proving less popular with modern-day city leaders, who say they probably won’t name a new government center for him because of the jokes his moniker could inspire.

Harry Baals is the runaway favorite in online voting to name the new building in Fort Wayne, about 120 miles northeast of Indianapolis. But Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy said that probably won’t be enough to put the name of the city’s longest-tenured mayor on the center.

The former mayor pronounced his last name “balls.” His descendants have since changed it to “bales.”

Supporters said it’s unfair that the former mayor can’t be recognized simply because his name makes some people snicker. But opponents fear that naming the center after Baals would make Fort Wayne the target of latenight television jokes.

An online site taking suggestions for names showed more than 1,000 votes Tuesday for the Harry Baals Government Center. That’s more than three times the votes received by the closest contender. Online voting ends Friday.

■Seattle

You’re under arrest, sir A man accused of robbing a Seattle convenience store last weekend might have earned points with its owner by being polite.

But saying “sir” probably won’t impress authorities who have supervised him since he wrapped up a nearly six-year prison term for an earlier string of hold-ups.

The King County Sheriff’s Office identified the suspect Tuesday as 65-year-old Gregory P. Hess. He’s a former Starbucks barista released from prison in 2007 after serving time for hitting five banks and a video store in the Seattle area.

The man is seen in the video telling a Shell station owner: “I’m robbing you, sir.” He apologized as he took $300, saying he had children to feed and if he could pay the money back later, he would.

People and personalities Lohan to be charged with theft LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors said Tuesday they plan to charge Lindsay Lohan with felony grand theft of a $2,500 necklace reported stolen from a jewelry store last month.

District Attorney’s spokeswoman Jane Robison said the charge will be filed today. She is due in court for an arraignment this afternoon.

The charge brings the troubled star another Lohan: step closer to jail.

To be charged Lohan, 24, remains on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case and a judge had threatened to throw her in jail if she ran into trouble again.

Los Angeles police said Feb. 2 that Lohan was under investigation for taking a necklace from a Venice store later identified as Kamofie and Co. Detectives obtained a search warrant to try to retrieve the item from Lohan’s home, but it was turned in to a police station before any search was made.

A phone message to Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, was not immediately returned. Holley has previously denied Lohan stole the necklace and vowed to fight any charges in court.

The new case represents the most serious charge the “Mean Girls” star has ever faced. Arrested twice in 2007, Lohan was charged with drunken driving and drug possession, but both were misdemeanors.

DEATHS John McIntyre John Archibald McIntyre, born and raised in Owatonna, Minn., on July 26, 1931, who was known as “Grandpa Jack” to his grandchildren, passed away on Jan. 30, 2011. John was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. John A. McIntyre and Margaret, and his wife, Constance Gail “Connie” Spence, whom he married on Aug. 6, 1966.

John and Audrey Haux Hilken were married Aug. 20, 1994, in Bismarck. He is survived by his wife, Audrey Faye; his daughter, Heather McIntyre-Haas (Eric); his sons, John “Jack” A. McIntyre III and Alan Spence McIntyre (Annette); and three grandchildren, Lily and Bethany Haas and Dylan McIntyre.

John is also survived by his brothers, William (Arlene), James (Barbara) and Philip (Melladee); and several nieces and nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews. John expanded his family with his stepsons, Barry Hilken, Bradley Hilken (Cindy) and Brent Hilken (Paula), and grandchildren, Kevin, Shyla, Tanner and Tate Hilken.

John attended Cornell and Augsburg (football/ wrestling) colleges in Iowa and Minnesota. John was a sergeant in the U.S. Army for three years. He was employed by the U.S. government with the Bureau of Reclamation branch for 32 years. John was very proud to be an Elks member for 49 years and a member of the Eagles for 39 years. He was involved with the Masonic Order, the Shriners, the Right of Way Association, the National Rifle Association and the Bonita Recreation Center. John was active in numerous organizations during his lifetime.

John lived in Bismarck for many years. He was a longtime member of Bismarck Presbyterian Church and served as a deacon and an elder. John and Audrey moved to Bonita Springs, Fla., in 2001 and became members of Bonita Springs Presbyterian Church. He was a gregarious person, loved by many, and will be missed tremendously.

A memorial service was held at First Presbyterian Church, Bonita Springs, on Feb. 4, 2011. Plans are pending for a memorial service to be held in Owatonna, Minn., in the spring.

If so desired, the family requests memorials be made to The Alliance for the Advancement of Adult Stem Cell Therapy and Research.

John was a firm believer in the stem cell program. The following website will provide more information: www.thestemcellalliance. org.

Getty grandson dies at 54

By GREGORY KATZ and CASSANDRA VINOGRAD Associated Press LONDON — Great wealth became J. Paul Getty III’s great curse.

At age 16, he was held for ransom for five months by captors who cut off his ear when his oil-rich grandfather balked at paying.

After his 1973 release, he became addicted to drugs and alcohol, diving deeper into a hippie counterculture that seemed the opposite of his family’s capitalistic roots.

He was only in his 20s when he suffered a devastating stroke that left him severely impaired and in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

He died Saturday at age 54.

Getty “never let his handicap keep him from living life to the fullest and he was an inspiration to all of us, showing us how to stand up to all adversity,” his son, the actor

“We understand the anxiety this has caused and the difficulty of Ms. Silva’s situation.”

Statement from Safeway

Pregnant woman gets abortion pill by mistake FORT LUPTON, Colo.

(AP) — A Colorado woman who is six weeks pregnant says a pharmacist at a grocery store mistakenly gave her an abortion drug instead of an antibiotic and now she fears the error will cause her to miscarry.

Mareena Silva said that the pharmacist at the Safeway in Fort Lupton gave her methotrexate last week. The drug, intended for another woman, is used in chemotherapy and to terminate early-stage pregnancies.

Silva said she took a pill and checked the bottle after becoming sick. She was rushed to the hospital.

Doctors say Silva could miscarry or have a baby with birth defects.

Safeway issued a statement that said policies and procedures meant to prevent medication errors weren’t followed, and that the company is redoubling efforts to ensure they are followed. Those procedures include asking twice for the patient’s full name and date of birth before handing out medication.

“We have extended our sincere apologies to Ms. Silva and offered to pay any medical expenses incurred as a result of the prescription error,” Safeway’s statement said. “We understand the anxiety this has caused and the difficulty of Ms. Silva’s situation.”

A woman who answered the door at Silva’s apartment Tu e s d a y s a i d s h e h a d moved out and wouldn’t talk to the media anymore based on the advice of an attorney. A message left with the woman for Silva was not immediately returned.

Fort Lupton is a small agricultural community on the eastern plains of Colorado, about 35 miles north of Denver.

Bird kills man at cockfight DELANO, Calif. (AP) — A Central California man who was at a cockfight died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird that had a knife attached to its own limb, officials confirmed Monday.

Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, of Lamont, was declared dead at a hospital about two hours after he was injured on Jan. 30, the Kern County coroner said.

An autopsy showed Ochoa died of an accidental “sharp force injury” to his right calf.

Sheriff’s spokesman Ray

Wednesday, February 9, 2011 ■ Page 5A

Pruitt said it was unclear if a delay in seeking medical attention contributed to Ochoa’s death.

Ochoa and the other spectators fled when authorities arrived at the scene of the fight. Deputies found five dead roosters and other evidence of cockfighting at the location.

Cockfighting is a sport, illegal in the U.S., in which specially bred roosters are put into a ring and encouraged to fight until one is incapacitated or killed.

Balthazar Getty, said in a statement.

The elder Getty died surrounded by his family at his country estate in Buckinghamshire northwest of London. The cause of death was not disclosed, but Getty had been gravely ill for some time.

Born in 1956 to oil wealth counted in the billions of dollars, Getty’s life was upended when he was kidnapped in Rome in 1973. He was a tempting target — his grandfather was often said to be one of the world’s first billionaires.

At first, some thought the kidnapping was staged to extract money from the grandfather. Friends at that time said the youngster had actually joked about such a tactic.

His mother, American actress Gail Harris, called journalists to her home one evening in the upscale Pari-

oli section of Rome to announce the family had received a ransom demand of $17 million.

G e t t y ’s g r a n d f a t h e r refused to pay. He was quoted as saying that he had 14 grandchildren “and if I pay for one, then I’ll have 14 kidnapped grandchildren.”

But his will was broken when a Rome newspaper received a plastic envelope with a severed ear inside and a warning that another would follow if the family didn’t pay.

The teenager, missing an ear, was released after five months and was found wandering on a country road in southern Calabria. He was freed for a reported ransom of $2.7 million — far less than the kidnappers’ original demands.

Several people were eventually convicted and sentenced to prison. Prosecutors blamed the Calabrian mob.

Haiti issues passport for Aristide PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti has issued a diplomatic passport for ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his American lawyer said he picked it up Tuesday from government authorities.

Aristide’s Miami attorney, Ira Kurzban, did not disclose when Aristide might come back to Haiti. He recently said he asked Haiti to establish a security plan for Aristide in accordance with a law requiring the government to provide security for former presidents.

Kurzban confirmed he was given the ousted leader’s diplomatic passport during a brief stopover in Haiti’s capital.

“Yes, I have it,” he said during a quick phone interview while his evening flight back to Miami was on the tarmac in Port-au-Prince’s international airport.

3 charged with lighting hair on fire MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (AP) — Three male high school students have been charged with misdemeanors after a student’s hair was set on fire on a southwest Ohio school bus, authorities said Tuesday.

A chunk of Devin Lewis’s hair caught fire when a student allegedly held a cigarette lighter to it as Lewis rode a Middletown City School District bus on Friday.

The 15-year-old freshman said he was listening to music when someone pulled off his hood, and a student held a flame in front of his face, the Middletown Journal reported. Lewis said the flame made him jerk his head back and that’s when another student lit his hair on fire.

Others came to his aid and extinguished the fire. He said he was left with charred hair and had to have his hair cut.

At CIA

OMG Continued from 1A

result of a decade of haphazard accountability is that many officers who made significant missteps are now the senior managers fighting Obama’s spy wars.

The analyst at the heart of the el-Masri mishap, for instance, has one of the premier jobs in the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center and helps lead Obama’s efforts to disrupt al-Qaida.

The AP investigation of the CIA’s actions revealed a disciplinary system that takes years to make decisions, hands down reprimands inconsistently and is viewed inside the agency as prone to favoritism.

When people are disciplined, the punishment seems to roll downhill, sparing senior managers involved in mishandled operations.

“Someone who made a huge error ought not to be working at the agency,” former Sen. Kit Bond said in November as he completed his tenure as the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee. “We’ve seen instance after instance where there hasn’t been accountability.”

For example, when a suspected terrorist froze to death in a CIA prison in Afghanistan in 2002, the CIA inspector general faulted Matt, the spy running the prison, and expressed concerns about Paul, the top officer in the country, according to former officials. Like most of the dozens of people interviewed

by AP, the officials spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

In the end, however, the CIA decided not to discipline either Matt or Paul.

The AP is identifying Matt,

subsided and will not expire, and neither should our national security laws,” he said.

But Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, said Republican supporters of the tea party movement should show their opposition to big government by joining Democrats in opposing the measure.

“How about the Patriot Act, which has the broadest reach and the deepest reach of government to our daily lives?” he asked.

The defeat means that Republicans may have to bring the bill back to the floor under regular procedures that only require a majority for passage but allow for amendments. Time is of the essence: The three provisions will expire on Feb. 28 if the House and Senate can’t agree on how to proceed.

The House had pushed for a nine-month extension to give lawmakers more time to come up with an approach that would give the measures permanent legal status. The Senate is considering longer-range ideas.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., last month introduced legislation that would extend the three provisions through 2013 while improving oversight of intelligence-gathering tools.

Leahy would also phase out, at the end of 2013, the use of national security letters, FBI demands for information that do Paul and other current and former undercover CIA officers — though only by partial names — because they are central to the question of who is being held accountable and because it enhances the credibility of AP’s reporting in this case. AP’s policy is to use names whenever possible.

not need a judge’s approval.

The Senate also has on its legislative calendar a bill by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would reauthorize the three measures through 2013 and a Republican proposal that would make them permanent.

The White House, in a statement, said it did not object to the House bill but “would strongly prefer” extending the provisions to the end of 2013, saying that “provides the necessary certainty and predictability that our nation’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies require.”

Leahy, who introduced a nearly identical bill last year that the Senate did not take up, said in December that he had received a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder saying that the Justice Department was implementing several oversight and civil liberties measures included in his legislation.

Those included requirements that the government show relevance to an authorized investigation when seeking library or bookseller records, and similarly that the FBI show that information it is seeking with a national security letter is relevant to an investigation.

Michelle Richardson, legislative counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union, said she was “glad to see there is bipartisan opposition to the Patriot Act 10 years later.”

The AP determined that even the most sophisticated commercial information services could not be used to derive the officers’ full names or, for example, find their home addresses knowing only their first names. The AP has withheld further details that could help identify them.

the spoken form?”

One possibility, Kiesling proposes, is that some of these acronyms actually become a whole new thought, expressing something different than the words in them. For example: “You wouldn’t say, ‘OMG, that person just jumped off a cliff,’” he explains. “But you’d say, ‘OMG, do you see those red pants that person is wearing?’”

Which brings us to WTF, an acronym that needs no translation. When Palin used the expression recently in a Fox News interview — twice in two sentences, actually — some pundits were a little shocked. (Palin was playing on the president’s “Win the Future” message in his State of the Union speech.)

“That’s going to be a tough one for her to come back from and explain,” remarked conservative commentator Pat Buchanan on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Host Joe Scarborough simply shook his head and said: “Not very presidential.”

But the chatter died down quickly. “I haven’t seen any big blowup,” says Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania and an expert on political communication.

“It was misplaced humor.

But I assume she thought it was clever and thus would not be judged.”

Clever may be in the eyes of the beholder. But Palin is not the only prominent person to use the expression on TV recently. On “Anderson Cooper 360” on Monday night, the host was commenting on rapper B.o.B.’s use of an airplane’s public address system to perform

for the captive passengers.

“WTF, B.o.B.?” Cooper asked.

Imagine if he’d said the actual words — a quick call from network executives might have ensued. But WTF seems to have become a winking way of saying something with a little edge, a little bite, without being truly offensive.

It can also be a good icebreaker with an audience. “I do a lot of public speaking,” says Maushart, the mother of three, who is also an author. “If there is one utterance that I know will get a laugh, it is WTF. It establishes that you are kind of with it.”

And so she doesn’t mind when her kids (they are 20, 17 and 16) use it. If only she could keep up with all their other acronyms. They’ve graduated from the simple LOL and LOLOL to LMAO — literally, laughing so hard that part of your body comes off. Her youngest, Sussy, 16, seems particularly advanced. These days, she has started saying “K-Dot.” Translation: OK, but with a finality to it, as in, end of discussion, “K” followed by a period, ergo: “K-Dot.” All this delights Robert Lane Greene, author of the upcoming book “You Are What You Speak” and a selfdescribed linguistics nut.

Greene doesn’t buy in to the c o n c e r n t h a t k i d s a re destroying our language.

“People often think the language THEY learned was perfect,” he says. “But innovation is generally enriching.

It’s fascinating, if you don’t pull your hair out over it.”

So just how new is the use of acronyms? Did this all come from Internet speak, texting and the like? “Americans have always liked

Continued from 1A abbreviations,” says linguistics professor and author Deborah Tannen, author of several popular books on language. “That certainly predates the Internet.”

In fact, acronyms themselves are an early 20th century creation, says Greene.

They became prevalent during the New Deal, he says, the series of economic programs passed during the first term of Franklin D. Roosevelt — who, of course, became known by his three initials.

They are also widely used in the military and today’s government bureaucracy.

People who think acronyms are new may be suffering from what linguists call a “recency illusion” — the illusion that something is new merely because one has just noticed it. They may not realize, for example, that the oft-used “snafu,” in its cruder, more popular version, contains the same “F” that “WTF” does.

But one thing that does seem genuinely new, Greene says, “is that these three-letter phrases from the Internet and twitter-speak are being spoken out loud.”

However, Greene notes, “People have been complaining about what the kids are doing to the language since ancient times, and Latin. Language is always changing. It’s a fact of life.”

And besides, young people are always on a search for the next new thing. And so this whole spoken-acronym thing may be a fad, destined for the linguistic garbage heap in a matter of years. “ O n e g e n e r a t i o n’s teenage slang,” Greene says, “is the next generation’s “OMG Dad, I can’t believe you said ‘groovy.’”

Texting ban as people try to hide the fact that they were sending a text.

“Instead of texting up here where it’s visible, now it’s illegal and they text down here,” Koppelman said, lowering his hand beneath an imaginary steering wheel.

The bill was often compared with its predecessor in Tuesday’s floor lineup, House Bill 1190, which would have created an overall distracted driving penalty. That measure failed 47-44.

While one legislator called the distracted driving measure a watered-down version of Klemin’s texting ban, others said they favored the bill because it didn’t single out one distraction.

Koppelman said he preferred a general bill rather than trying to list each distraction.

“I can’t begin to write down all the things you could possibly do that distract you while driving,” he said.

CHIP The House also voted down a bill that would have expanded the state Children’s Health Insurance Program, increasing the amount a family could earn and still qualify for the program.

Right now, a family of four can make about $35,000 and qualify for health insurance for their children. Under the Democrat-proposed House Bill 1377, the same family could make about $55,000 and still participate.

Continued from 1A “This would allow this program to become the new universal health care for North Dakota,” because so many people would fit the income level to qualify, said Rep. Todd Porter, R-Mandan.

Rep. Richard Holman, D-Mayville, said some parents in that income level chose not to purchase insurance, yet their children suffer.

The bill died 25-67, though similar measures are still circulating in the Senate, including a bill by Sen. Dick Dever, R-Bismarck, which would allow a family of four making about $44,000 to qualify.

Dancing Dakota The Senate turned down a bill that would make “Dancing Dakota” by Chuck Suchy the state waltz.

“The song makes you think about how lucky you are to live in North Dakota,” said Sen. Carolyn Nelson, D-Fargo.

While proponents spoke of the song’s charming rhythm and powerful lyrics, opponents to Senate Bill 2194 said at the bill’s hearing that they either simply didn’t like the song or would prefer a contest to choose the state’s waltz.

The bill died after a 14-32 vote.

The sun will come “It should be fun walking outside this weekend,” Hamilton said.

Of course, not all of the weather news is good.

There’s a slight chance for precipitation — likely snow, on Thursday — and conditions may be windy as the temperatures increase, Hamilton said.

Later in the week, when daytime highs are above freezing, blowing snow could create hazardous driving conditions as temperatures go back below freezing at night, Hamilton said.

“Watch out for the visibilities and the slick roads when the snow blows across the roads,” he said.

Hamilton expects temperatures to be pleasant through

Continued from 1A at least the end of next week.

By that point, in mid- to late February, the chances of Arctic air causing extreme cold temperatures should be diminished, he said. There could still be a chance for isolated extremely cold days, but it will be less likely that the cold would last for days at a time, he explained.

February’s average temperature is expected to be below normal, but the normal temperature gets warmer as spring gets closer.

Hamilton is hoping this is the end of the bitter cold.

“I’m sick and tired of it,” he said.

Sharon Gail Morrison was born in New Castle, Ind., on Nov. 2, 1940, to Harry and Nina Morrison. She graduated high school in 1958 and attended Anderson Community College in 1959, where she earned her secretarial certification.

In 1961, she met Victor Anheluk; they were married on May 12, 1962, at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind. They had three daughters, Krista, Kelly and Kerri. Being an Army family, Vic, Sharon and the girls traveled to and lived in many different places within the United States: Michigan, Indiana, Hawaii, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Illinois, finally settling in Mandan in 1976.

All along their journey, they made many wonderful, lifelong friends.

Sharon worked throughout much of her life, including positions with the Department of the Army, North Dakota Geological Survey and Farmers Home Administration, she was always able to combine career and family.

In 1987, Vic and Sharon decided to retire, which included a move to Fairfield, Victor’s original homestead.

Sharon embraced many facets of the Ukrainian culture through her husband and their extended family.

She was very involved with the Belfield American Legion Auxiliary, where she was a member and past president.

They lived in Fairfield until 2005, when they moved back to Mandan.

Sharon had many interests and hobbies, including jigsaw puzzles, music, crocheting, cross-stitch, bowling, visiting with friends and family, reading, gardening, attending Mandan Braves basketball games and singing in the church choir at St. Demetrius Church in Fairfield.

Sharon will be dearly missed by her husband, Vic, Mandan; three daughters, Krista, Phoenix, Kerri, Bismarck, and Kelly (Paul) Leingang, Mandan; two grandchildren, Kyle and Kayla Leingang, Mandan; many nieces and nephews; and a special longtime friend, Jeannine Mowery, Bloomfield, Ind. Sharon was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Nina Morrison; one brother, Mendall Morrison; and two sisters, Joy Morrison and Norma Troxel.

Sharon’s family would like to extend thanks to the special friends and staff at St. A’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, the staff at St. A’s in Bismarck for keeping our mom comfortable and content during her final weeks with us and to Drs. Addo and Kriengkrairut for their support and great care.

Our economy has paid the bills The loss of 500 manufacturing jobs at Bobcat one year ago has been difficult, especially for those laid-off workers and despite continued low Bismarck-Mandan unemployment.

All jobs are not created equal.

Let’s be thankful, however, for the local economy’s ability to pick up those laid-off workers.

As former Bobcat worker Terry Tschosik told Tribune reporter Christopher Bjorke, “I’m still alive and paying taxes. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

About 80 of those Bobcat workers are retraining. Some retired.

Others are trying out different kinds of jobs, a good number of them in the expanding construction trade, which has been boosted by the vigorous energy sector.

The community as a whole has felt the loss of Bobcat less than expected.

Looking solely at the unemployment rate, then comparing it to the national unemployment rate, feels pretty darn good. Hopefully many of the former Bobcat workers can find agreement in that.

People in Bismarck-Mandan who want to work, or can work, are working. But the work of creating jobs never finishes. There’s always a churn of new workers or career people moving up and on, or people who need to improve their lot in life so that they can take care of their families. We

always need more and better paying jobs.

There will always be a chance that a business with a large workforce will be lured to the metro area; it has happened in the past, thankfully. But we believe that the metro area’s best source of new jobs can be found in growing local businesses.

Remember, Bobcat’s roots were local, growing out of the need for better and more specialized farm equipment.

North Dakota, at every level, has invested significantly in developing new businesses and industries.

That’s what the centers for excel-

Low unemployment has brought options for workers in N.D.

lence are all about. That’s what the Idea Center in Bismarck attempts to do. And every town and city in the state has a development group pitching the benefits of its community.

North Dakota has consciously broadened its focus from reliance on production agriculture to a more diversified economy. With all this comes a more resilient economy and steadier employment numbers. Add to that the development in the state’s oil patch and North Dakota has a good thing going.

There will be glitches along the way, as the former Bobcat employees can relate. But with continued hard work and a little luck, Bismarck-Mandan will continue to produce jobs.

VOICES OF THE PEOPLE Modest proposal for legislators

each missed service. The monies secured from such an endeavor could be used to fund HB1229, governing the promotion of abstinence in our school’s educational systems, another fine legislative effort.

I profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavoring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the public good of my state.

By JO ANN L. MILLER Bismarck It is a melancholy object to those who walk in this great state or travel in the country to realize that North Dakota citizens are in need of guidance from their state government. On that note, allow me to congratulate you on SB2367, which would require those seeking a divorce to wait a year and undergo 10 counseling sessions before being named “unfit.”

It has been some time now since I myself was divorced, but I do so regret this fine piece of legislation was not in effect during that process. How I would have relished 10 complete counseling sessions led by a “volunteer.”

May I suggest, however, that the would-be-divorced be allowed to pay for these sessions? This action would solidify the divorce process in a truly memorable way.

It cannot be argued that making the difficult decision is tough for any North Dakotan. We are a wimpy lot, to be sure. Even though my great-grandmother

homesteaded alone with four young sons in the Beulah-Hazen area, somehow those rugged, take-charge genes did not make their way down the lineage line to me, and I find myself quite ineffectual when it comes to making life-altering decisions. Having the guidance of the state government in my private life is a godsend.

Putting all praise aside, may I be so bold as to make a suggestion for another bill?

I propose that every North Dakota citizen is mandated to attend four church services a month, to indoctrinate and reinforce the ideals that make this country great. Even though that pesky U.S. Constitution speaks of the right to choose one’s own religion,

perhaps a “special” North Dakota church could be conceived simply for those unhappy in their marriages.

Can you imagine the national press such an entity would garner?

Furthermore, I propose that the wages of each person failing to attend this church be garnished in a ratio equal to one-fourth of one’s monthly salary for

I am so amazed at how smart Rep. Rick Berg and Sen. John Hoeven are. They just got to Washington and they already know what all the problems are and how to fix everything.

Why didn’t any of the senators or congressmen figure out that while they want to stop this health care program in its tracks, they now have the cadillac of all health care programs?

We are supposed to be their bosses, so they should not have any better health care or retirement programs than we do.

America and the despicable characters As Egypt staggers toward an uncertain future, a familiar complaint is making the opinion rounds in the United States — namely that Egypt’s current predicament is at least in part traceable to the supposed American fondness for propping up corrupt dictators around the globe.

From the left, Salon magazine offered that “this is a good moment to take a look at where else in the world American taxpayer dollars are helping to prop up dictatorships with poor human rights records,” while on the center/right, Robert Kagan demanded, “What are we going to do — support dictators for the rest of eternity because we don’t want Islamists taking their share of some political system in the Middle East?”

The U.S. has been accused of backing autocrats and therefore engendering the enduring hostility of persecuted populations for more than half a century. Throughout the Cold War, the standard accusation was that America was responsible for

freedom. In Indonesia, South Korea, the Philippines, Chile, El Salvador, Taiwan and elsewhere, American pressure helped to ease dictators out the door and usher in more pluralistic governments.

If we sometimes allied with dictators like Anastasio Somoza and the Shah of Iran, we were also in the vanguard of nations seeking to free many millions more from far worse regimes.

But the business of reforming allies is tricky.

Former President Jimmy Carter made “human rights” his foreign policy mantra — but he applied it very selectively. And arguably by leaning on the Shah, he paved the way for some of the world’s worst human rights abusers to take power in Iran.

Former President George W. Bush’s spoke movingly of his “freedom agenda” for the Middle East and warned that so long as “the Middle East remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment and violence ready for export.”

That may be true. But given the nature of the region, it’s no simple matter to get from A to B, as Bush discovered. Soon after delivering those words, the

U.S. sent a loud signal of anger to Hosni Mubarak for imprisoning a human rights activist.

The secretary of state canceled a planned trip.

But a year later, Secretary Rice was back in Cairo — though Ayman Nour remained in prison. And she was followed to Egypt

by Barack Obama.

Mubarak is a foul dictator who has tortured dissenters, stoked vicious antiSemitism (despite the peace treaty with Israel), and prevented the emergence of peaceful alternative parties. But as in other cases of dealing with dictators, U.S. motives were hardly reprehensible. We supported the regime that was key to maintaining peace with our ally Israel, that cooperated in the war against Islamic terror, and above all, that was preferable to the likeliest alternative.

It must still be our aim, more than any other, to try to prevent an even worse regime from emerging from the current chaos.

We didn’t create the world. We don’t prefer to back autocrats. But it’s rough out there, and unrealistic hopes have led to disaster before.

Arson not suspected in Rio fire

By JULIANA BARBASSA Associated Press

Associated Press

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood speaks about the Toyota recalls on Tuesday in Washington.

No electronic flaws in Toyotas

By KEN THOMAS Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s investigation into Toyota safety problems found no electronic flaws to account for reports of sudden, unintentional acceleration and other safety problems. Government investigators said Tuesday the only known cause of the problems are mechanical defects that were fixed in previous recalls.

T h e Tra n s p o r t a t i o n Department, assisted by engineers with NASA, said its 10-month study of Toyota vehicles concluded there was no electronic cause of unintended highspeed acceleration in Toyotas. The study, which was launched at the request of Congress, responded to consumer complaints that flawed electronics could be the culprit behind Toyota’s spate of recalls.

“We feel that Toyota vehicles are safe to drive,” said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

Toyota said in a state-

ment that the report should “further reinforce confidence in the safety of Toyota and Lexus vehicles” and “put to rest unsupported speculation” about the company’s electronic throttle control systems, which it said are “well-designed and well-tested to ensure that a real world, un-commanded acceleration of the vehicle cannot occur.”

Officials with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said they reviewed consumer complaints and warranty data in detail and found that many of the complaints involved cases in which the vehicle accelerated after it was stationary or at very low speeds.

NHTSA Deputy Administrator Ron Medford said that in many cases when a driver complained that the brakes were ineffective, the most likely cause was “pedal misapplication,” in which the driver stepped on the accelerator instead of the brakes.

Toyota has recalled more than 12 million vehicles globally since fall 2009.

R I O D E J A N E I RO — Threads of smoke rose from the charred warehouses of three major samba groups Tuesday as workers salvaged what they could of floats and costumes so they can put on some sort of a show before millions celebrating Rio de Janeiro’s famed Carnival in less than a month.

Police said they did not believe arson caused the blaze Monday that consumed thousands of costumes, sculptures and floats built for the festival, but a police spokesman said investigators were still trying to determine what set off the flames.

One of the most heartbreaking aspects of the fire was that it destroyed the costumes of low-income community members who work on them in the year leading up to the parade. Devastated Carnival group members scrambled to make plans for the best show possible.

“The group is in mourning, but we are going to build our Carnival up again,” said Cahe Rodrigues, the theme developer for Grande Rio, the group hardest hit by the

fire. “All of the members will be dressed up. No one will be left out.”

Grande Rio’s losses alone were estimated at $5.5 million.

The city’s mayor, Eduardo Paes, guaranteed up to $890,000 in funding to help the recovery effort. With 28 days left before the parade, the biggest fight is

against time, Rodrigues said.

Rio’s Carnival attracts more than 700,000 tourists annually and pumps $500 million into the city’s economy.

The Independent League o f Sa m b a G ro u p s t h a t organizes Carnival competition has promised to set up tents for the burned-out

groups, and the unaffected groups have promised to lend labor, spare parts and machinery.

On Tuesday, the groups were scouring the city for additional materials — plastic foam, sequins, feathers, resin, paint — to rebuild as much as possible, said Grande Rio spokesman Avelino Ribeiro.

wanted the attack timed to coincide with Colin Powell’s address to the U.N. Security Council making the case for war.

In his memoir, “Known and Unknown,” Rumsfeld wrote that the Joint Chiefs of Staff supported a strike, based on what Rumsfeld called extensive but not conclusive CIA evidence that the site housed an underground facility for testing chemical weapons. He called it a “fairly sizeable ter-

rorist operation.”

The prewar attack never happened, although the site was struck in the opening days of the war that Presid e n t G e o r g e W. B u s h launched in March 2003, about six weeks after Powell’s U.N. speech. The U.S. never found substantial evidence of an active Iraqi program to produce weapons of mass destruction, but Rumsfeld believed that the site near the Iranian border presented the best chance to prove they

existed before the war began.

“For whatever reason, the administration never made public these facts about an active WMD production facility run by terrorists in Iraq,” Rumsfeld wrote.

He said he made his recommendation to Bush at a Feb. 3, 2003, National Security Council meeting in which Powell sketched out the presentation he was to make at the U.N. two days later.

Iraq’s violence continues as U.S. mission shifts

By LARA JAKES Associated Press BAGHDAD — The White House says the U.S. combat mission in Iraq is over, but Army Lt. Daniel McCord and his fellow American soldiers feel anything but safe.

Their base has been shelled 28 times since Sept. 1, the day after President Barack Obama officially ended Operation Iraqi Freedom. They carefully watch cars that speed too close to their convoy on highways, wary of suicide bombers who might try to penetrate their armored trucks. Even an Iraqi kid carrying a pellet gun is seen as a threat.

With daily shootings and deadly bombings, it’s clear there’s still a simmering fight in Iraq as the U.S. military prepares to leave after nearly eight years, more than 4,400 U.S. troops killed and at least $750 billion spent.

“Bad guys don’t go away. When we leave, they’ll find another target.”

Army Lt. Daniel McCord of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment “Bad guys don’t go away.

When we leave, they’ll find another target,” McCord, a 26-year-old platoon commander in the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, said on a recent patrol near Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of Baghdad.

Asked if he thinks Iraq is stable, McCord said: “I’d be crazy to say it’s safe. Is it better than it was? Yes. But it’s probably still going to take some time for the government of Iraq to establish the security they want. There are still bad guys here doing bad things.”

All soldiers are combat soldiers, as the saying goes, and the American military’s mission in Iraq still allows them to use lethal force and

go on security patrols to protect themselves and their bases. But for the most part, the days of kicking in doors and raiding insurgents’ dens are long gone. Iraq may not be safe, but the widespread retaliatory sectarian killings have ebbed.

Waiting against a ticking clock for the government in Baghdad to ask for troops to stay, the U.S. now is watching to see how much of a fight is left in Iraq — and whether the nation’s security forces can battle it alone.

Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, who just ended his tour as

the Army’s deputy commander in Iraq, said he’s confident the estimated 675,000 Iraqi soldiers, police and other security forces can adequately protect the country by the end of the year.

But he said gaps remain — mostly on borders and in the sky to thwart foreign threats.

“You still have an underlying heartbeat right now of violence that is still unacceptable,” he said in an interview this month before he left.

Six American soldiers have died in Iraq so far this year, and 18 since the announced end of the U.S. combat mission Sept. 1.

“Those guys would argue this is a pretty lethal environment,” Cone said.

Should the states build now?

By EDWARD LOTTERMAN Many states face large budget shortfalls right now. Yet some elected officials argue for spending on long-term infrastructure projects like bridges, laboratory buildings at state universities and even convention centers or sports stadiums.

The money would come, as is usual for such spending, from selling long-term bonds.

Others oppose this, arguing that taking on additional obligations Lotterman to make principal and interest payments for decades into the future is highly irresponsible at a time taxpayers already are stretched thin.

Who is right? And does it make any difference that we are still coming out of a recession with unemployment still high and clouds still hanging on the horizon of the global economy?

If you can quantify the benefits to society of some government construction project, the benefit-cost analysis is pretty straightforward and similar to financial analysis of projects in the private sector.

You convert the stream of societal benefits over time to a “present value.” This is the lump sum right now that is equal to a series of payments over time, just as $200,000 of mortgage principal is the present value of 360 payments of $1,199.10 per month over 30 years at 6 percent.

Then do the same with costs.

On physical infrastructure, most costs are up front.

Then compare the value of benefits to society in 2011 dollars to costs, also in 2011 dollars.

The first hurdle is that benefits of the project must exceed costs. The second is that the benefits should be greater than the benefits to society that would result if the money were left to be spent in the private sector.

The last isn’t easy to estimate, but in ordinary times, interest rates are an indicator. The higher the interest rate, the greater the return private businesses must anticipate before they will borrow money to buy new machines or build new buildings.

The higher the interest rate, the lower the present value of any stream of benefits. Something that would produce $1 million in benefits per year for 50 years has a present value of $18.3 million at an interest rate of 5 percent. At an interest rate of 8 percent, however, the present value would be only $12.2 million.

Using the interest rate equal to rate of return expected in business investments adjusts for the value that would be produced if the money were left in the private sector.

Thus, if you can make a reliable estimate of benefits and costs to society over the life of a project, you can reach a judgment about whether it should be built. This is relatively easy for roads and bridges but much harder for things like convention centers or recreational facilities.

As in business, having a project that will return more in benefits than it will cost is only one part. You also need to have the funds to pay for it. A business can estimate future cash flows the project will generate. A government project depends on current and future voters’ willingness to support the taxes needed to make principal and interest payments on the money borrowed. That varies with the collective public mood as much as economic realities. Right now, the mood is running against government spending.

Should a slow economy or high unemployment change any of this?

Traffic study discussed

By LEANN ECKROTH Bismarck Tribune The Bismarck City Commission received comments about the Northwest Sub-Area Study on Tuesday, but continued the hearing until it receives a recommendation from the city planning commission on Feb. 23.

The study, completed by Ulteig Engineers, is intended to identify where to spread future traffic counts through new corridors in north Bismarck.

It has suggested possible new east-west cor-

ridors to include a longer 57th Avenue, stretching Century Avenue, adding turn lanes and widening the shoulders at Ash Coulee Drive, and aligning or extending traffic Burnt Boat Drive.

New north-south routes might include a new road west of River Road, using Tyler Parkway or Tyler Coulee, and lengthening Clairmont Road.

Steve Grabill of Ulteig told commissioners that building any of those corridor options was not imminent, and it was for the city to decide what projects would be done. He said they

needed more study.

“This is one of those ‘what were they thinking’ moments in my mind,” Commissioner Mike Seminary said. “No one is at fault. ... We’re at a point where somebody is going to be unhappy, even if it’s do nothing.”

He asked if commissioners were near an option where people would not think a corridor unreasonable 20 years from now.

Grabill said they were confident they could, “but it requires a lot of change. We can’t do things the way we’ve always done them.”

Charities seek cut in state gambling taxes

By DALE WETZEL Associated Press Reducing North Dakota’s taxes on charitable gambling would simplify paperwork and provide local organizations with more money to spend on projects, advocates said Tuesday.

Marvin Knutson, vice president of the Charitable Gaming Association of North Dakota, said small charities often pay a large chunk of their gambling profits in taxes.

The percentages would be

considered excessive if they were levied against a private business, Knutson told the Senate Appropriations Committee during a hear ing Tuesday.

Knutson is the bookkeeper for a school booster club in Milnor, a rural community in North Dakota’s southeastern corner. During July, August and September of 2010,

the club’s gambling operations collected $126,067 in wagers, made $8,046 in profits and paid $4,920 in taxes, he said. The proposed legislation would have cut the tax bill by 74 percent, to $1,261, he said.

North Dakota charities that have gambling operations “aren’t against paying taxes, but the ratio of taxes to money left for charitable requests is way out of line,” Knutson said.

The Appropriations Committee is considering legislation that would eliminate an array of char-

itable gambling taxes in exchange for a 1 percent flat rate on wagers, and an increase in e a c h c h a r i t y ’s e x p e n s e allowance.

The changes would save charities about $10.8 million in taxes every two years, according to estimates by the North Dakota attorney general’s office, which regulates the industry. The portion of charitable gambling taxes that goes into the state treasury would drop from $15.8 million to $5 million.

Safety speaker calls for people to take action

By SARA KINCAID Bismarck Tribune A ranching accident left Chad Hymas paralyzed from the neck down.

Hymas, the keynote speaker at the annual North Dakota Safety Council conference, used that experience to show how people can step up and help without waiting to be asked.

He was using a tractor to haul a large hay bale. The hydraulic did not work right, and it fell back onto him. When police and firefighters arrived, they knew they’d have to lift the bale off Hymas. Instead of waiting for a hoist, one police officer decided that the men there could lift that bale off Hymas.

“Eight men moved 300 pounds each,” he said.

It’s the difference between rescuing and responding, the theme of his talk, he said. He encouraged people in the audience to do something, instead of waiting to be asked. This can help prevent accidents and

improve workplace safety. It requires people to think about someone other than themselves, he said.

“We need to get people out of their comfort zone,” he said.

He chose people out of the audience to answer hypothetical questions and volunteered people to do different tasks, such as giving him a drink of water. Hymas is wheelchair-bound and has some difficulty with using his hands. One man volunteered to give him a bottle of water, but Hymas had to ask him to open it and hold it to his lips. Hymas encouraged people to think beyond their discomfort and just do it, instead of waiting.

Hymas was one of 40 speakers at the three-day conference that started Tuesday at the Bismarck Civic Center. About 560 people are registered for the conference.

There are 76 booths displaying different types of protective gear and safety material.

Belcourt man convicted of sex crime

Minot Air Force Base population is growing

MINOT (AP) — A Belcourt man accused of molesting children, including some at a youth shelter, has been convicted in federal court of aggravated sexual abuse.

U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon says 35-year-old John Wallette faces at least 30 years in prison and could get life, along with a $250,000 fine.

Authorities say Wallette had sex with one child younger than 12 from an unknown time up until the summer of 2008.

He’s to be sentenced April 25 in Minot.

Janitor pleads not guilty to luring DICKINSON (AP) — A former elementary school custodian in Dickinson has pleaded not guilty to luring a minor.

Thirty-eight-year-old Tyler Wilson is accused of trying to lure a child for sex in December. He allegedly texted someone younger than 15, asking for photographs and requesting sex.

Stark County State’s Attorney Tom Henning says Wilson was still employed by the school at the time of the alleged incident. Henning says the child wasn’t physically harmed.

School Superintendent Doug Sullivan says Wilson has been terminated.

Wilson faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. His attorney, Kevin McCabe, declined comment.

Manager accused of embezzlement GRAND FORKS (AP) — A manager of the Grizzly’s restaurant in Grand Forks is accused of stealing more than $10,400 from the business.

Thirty-nine-year-old Kevin Gibbs is due in court Feb. 25 on a felony theft charge. A telephone listing for him could not be found and it was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Another manager at the restaurant last December noticed a missing bank deposit, and officials audited other bank deposits that were Gibbs’ responsibility.

He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Victim of snowmobile crash ID’d MINTO (AP) — The Highway Patrol has identified a man who died in a weekend snowmobile accident in northeast North Dakota.

Patrick Mach, 42, of Minto was thrown from his machine early Saturday afternoon while riding with other snowmobilers on a groomed trail between Forest River and Minto.

Mach suffered head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Woman won’t get ‘mail puppy’ back MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minneapolis woman who tried to mail a puppy to her son in Georgia won’t get the dog back.

Stacey Champion, 39, attended an administrative hearing at Minneapolis City Hall on Monday to try to reclaim the 4month-old Schnauzer mix. But authorities denied her request.

Champion was charged with animal cruelty after postal workers discovered the puppy last month in a sealed box with no air holes. Authorities say the puppy likely would have died if shipped. Postal workers discovered the package because it was moving.

At Monday’s hearing, Champion claimed she put air holes and water bottles in the box. She says her son was deprived of his birthday gift.

The Minneapolis Animal Care and Control shelter has cared for the puppy, named Guess, since the incident.

Mont. bill would abolish death penalty HELENA, Mont. (AP) — State lawmakers considered a proposal Tuesday to abolish the death penalty in Montana and make the maximum allowable punishment life in prison without parole.

Similar measures have come before the Legislature in previous sessions and failed. If this bill passes, it will go into effect immediately and change the sentences of two inmates currently on death row in Montana.

Medcenter One’s nursing mom support group was a busy place on Tuesday morning. From left are Serra Irmen with son William, 5 months, Christen Carufel with daughter Eden, 6 days, and Danielle Nelson with son Benjamin, 3 weeks.

Group helps nursing mothers

By SARA KINCAID Bismarck Tribune A new support group serves nursing mothers.

Twice a month, the women and their babies meet at Medcenter One. They visit with each other and ask questions. More experienced mothers usually offer tips to make the process easier.

“They come in, say ‘Hi’ and talk about how breastfeeding is going,” said Alyssa Backes, a nurse and certified lactation consultant.

The babies range in age from a few weeks old to 6 months old. The mothers

of the younger infants are able to learn from the mothers of the older infants. Mothers who have breast-fed children before are able to offer new moms encouragement and support.

“I heard so many horror stories,” about breast-feeding, new mother Serra Irmen said.

William is 5 months old and her first child.

Many women hear about how difficult breastfeeding can be, Backes said, but the reality is that it isn’t as bad as people portray it. For instance, nursing mothers get just as little

sleep as mothers who use formula, she said.

It’s also helpful for newly nursing mothers to learn from others that they are producing enough milk for their baby and when feedings increase, it isn’t because of a lack of milk, Backes said.

The nursing support group meets the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. The group meets from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. People can come and go at any time.

Government sets up voluntary rules for wind farm bird impacts WASHINGTON (AP) — The Fish and Wildlife Service on Tuesday proposed voluntary guidelines for onshore wind energy developers to avoid bird deaths and other harm to wildlife as part of the Obama administration’s big push for renewable and clean energy.

Bird advocates who had lobbied for mandatory standards warned that the new guidelines would do nothing to stem bird deaths as wind power builds up across the country.

“We have a responsibility to ensure that solar, wind and geothermal projects are built in the right way and in the right places so they protect our natural and cultural resources and balance the needs of our wildlife,” Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in a statement. President Barack Obama has called for the nation to get 80 percent of its electricity from clean energy sources by 2035, and renewable sources are expected to play a key

role in that effort.

The department is seeking public comment for its proposed guidelines, which were released ahead of a two-day renewable energy conference in Washington. Among other things, the guidelines call for wind developers to eliminate from consideration areas that would pose high risk to animals and habitat, and to take steps to mitigate harm by, for example, restoring habitat nearby.

“With proper diligence paid to siting, operations and management of projects, it is possible to mitigate for adverse effects” on wildlife, the guidelines say.

“This is best accomplished when the developer coordinates as early as possible with the (Fish and Wildlife) Service and other stakeholders.”

The agency is also proposing new voluntary guidance aimed at preventing deaths of bald and golden eagles.

MINOT (AP) — While Grand Forks Air Force Base has lost a lot of personnel because of a mission change, the population of Minot Air Force Base is on the rise.

The Minot base has 12,865 personnel, nearly 1,000 more than a year ago.

The jump is due mainly to the addition of a second squadron of B-52 bombers.

That happened in September 2009.

The base also oversees Minuteman III missiles in underground silos in central and western North Dakota.

The Grand Forks base is transitioning from refueling tankers to drones.

About 3,500 people are at the base, but the population is expected to grow by about 1,000 in the next year.

Spring head count up at Minot State MINOT (AP) — Minot State University said 3,636 students are attending classes this spring, its largest spring enrollment since 2006 and a 4.6 percent increase from the previous year.

It reported 123 more fulltime undergraduate students and 177 more transfer students than in spring 2010.

Eighty percent of the students are from North Dakota and 55 percent are from lWard County.

Spring enrollment rises at VCSU VALLEY CITY (AP) — Valley City State University reported a spring enrollment of 1,221 students, an increase of 18 percent from a year earlier.

It comes after the university showed a 19 percent increase in fall 2010 enrollment.

President Steve Shirley said enrollment gains are across the university, but most significant in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education where enrollment is up 48 percent from last year and 337 percent over the past 10 years.

Local couple to be honored for long marriage

By KAREN HERZOG Bismarck Tribune Tony and Frances Hopfauf will be honored for their 71-year marriage with a presentation from Worldwide Marriage Encounter on Feb. 20.

The deadline for nominations was Jan. 10.

The Hopfaufs were the longest-married of those nominated from North Dakota.

‘The Big Event’ offers a midwinter break

By KAREN HERZOG Bismarck Tribune During the thick of this area’s long, cold winters, organizers of “The Big Event” aim to give families a fun midwinter break.

Free and open to the community, this is the seventh year for “The Big Event,” an afternoon of activities and games sponsored by more than 20 area churches, groups and organizations, said Curt Dikoff, director of Child Evangelism Fellowship, one of the day’s sponsors.

The Big Event will be held Saturday at the Bismarck Civic Center Exhibition Hall.

“The goal is to give families a winter break, something to do (that’s) a fun family activity that people look forward to,” Dikoff said.

Organized by the BismarckMandan Evangelical Ministerial Fellowship, the day’s events run from 1 to 4 p.m.

Children can play on inflatable games, at carnival booths, have their faces painted and win prizes. Basketball shooting will be available, along with games such as Wack-a-Badger and catapults. Storytelling booths will be open, as well as a booth for those who would like someone to pray for them. Organizers also have included a preschool area.

“The Big Event” started out at

“The Big Event,” an afternoon of activities and games sponsored by more than 20 area churches, groups and organizations, is being held Saturday at the Bismarck Civic Center Exhibition Hall from 1 to 4 p.m.

Gateway Mall, then moved to Shiloh Christian School, Dikoff said. This is its third year at the Bismarck Civic Center. The sponsoring organizations pay for the cost of the event so that families can attend free, he said.

The day is for families, so it’s not a drop-off event, he said. Parents must accompany children for the afternoon. To make the event safe,

families must register at the door and children and parents will receive wristbands that will be needed when they leave.

To help out local food pantries, families are asked to bring a nonperishable food item to share with families in need. Over the past two years, approximately 2,000 pounds of food has been given to local food pantries and agencies, Dikoff said.

Attendance has grown over the years with up to 700 kids plus parents showing up, he said. With people coming and going throughout the afternoon, sponsors are anticipating up to 2,000 people, he said.

Foreclosures raise U.S. economic stress; N.D. has lowest stress The nation’s economic stress inched up in December because higher foreclosures outweighed lower unemployment, according to The Associated Press’

monthly analysis.

Bankruptcy levels remained largely unchanged from November. But the depressed housing market took a toll.

Foreclosure rates rose in 33 states, most sharply in Utah, New Jersey, Nevada and Arizona.

Nevada was again by far the most troubled state

with a Stress score of 22.56.

It was followed by Florida (16.47), California (16.36), Georgia (14.5) and Arizona (14.46).

North Dakota had the

lowest Stress score in December: 4.65. It was followed by Nebraska (5.38), South Dakota (5.69), Verm o n t ( 6 . 1 9 ) a n d Ne w Hampshire (6.95).

Fargo’s goal is 3 million sandbags

Three of N.D.’s first quadruplets turn 70 years old

FARGO (AP) — Fargo is calling for volunteers to begin filling sandbags on Feb. 14 in preparation for possible spring flooding along the Red River.

Officials said Monday they want to have 3 million sandbags filled by mid-March.

A warehouse dubbed “Sandbag Central” will operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Shuttle buses will be running from several locations in Fargo to get volunteers to the worksite.

A National Weather Service flood outlook in late January gave a 20 percent chance that the river will surpass the record crest of 2009 and a 50 percent chance it would exceed last year’s crest.

LEONARD (AP) — Three of North Dakota’s first surviving quadruplets turned 70 over the weekend.

The quadruplets were born to Nick and Ella Brown on Feb. 6, 1941. They made headlines and even appeared in a Carnation milk ad.

The three surviving quads are Cleo and Clayton Brown of Leonard and Connie Nennig of Breckenridge, Minn.

Their brother, Clair, died in 2001.

Sunday’s birthday celebrations were low-key. Nennig says she didn’t really like growing up in the spotlight.

Benefit, auction in Hebron Saturday A cancer benefit and basket auction is planned Saturday at Hebron Public School f o r A l Fe i s t a n d He i d i Schulte.

A pancake and sausage meal runs from 4 to 8 p.m. with a benefit auction starting at 8:30 p.m. A dance with music by Satin Bullet is planned from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Feist was a long-time instructor at Hebron Public School and Schulte is a nurse in Dickinson and a member of the Hebron Ambulance Squad.

Accounts have been set up at Dakota Community Bank to help Feist and Schulte with expenses related to cancer.

The three birds were played by Melanie Cox, Krista Tolstedt and Alli Thorson.

Students take on Greek myths

By SARA KINCAID Bismarck Tribune Century High School will present a comedic take on Greek mythology.

“The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza” will be performed Thursday through Saturday at Century High School.

“It is as much Greek mythology as you can fit in an hour,” senior Molly Zachmeier said. She is one

of the narrators for the performance.

Among the myths performed will be the fall of Kronos, Jason and the Argonauts, the rise of Zeus and a story about Orpheus and Eurydice.

“Kronos is the father of Zeus and the husband of Rhea,” senior Tyler Tkach said. He portrays Kronos.

“I don’t know how to put this nicely. He castrated his father. He eats his own

children.”

Some of the stories are familiar to the students, while others are new, Zachmeier said.

The show will be performed at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Century High School auditorium. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students.

Build now?

Continued from 1B First of all, no Keynesian advocate of government fiscal and monetary policies to provide broad economic stimulus to the whole economy ever argued it would work at a state rather than national level. But government building projects may put some unemployed people back to work, which is a somewhat different proposition.

Labor is a flow rather than a stock resource. People who cannot find jobs for some period of their life don’t get extra years added to their working lives to make up the difference.

The goods or services their labor might have created had jobs been available is lost forever, unlike unburned coal left in the ground.

When an economy is booming, building a new road or university building must draw labor away from other uses. Whatever they might have produced elsewhere is an “opportunity cost” that is reflected in

their wage rate.

This “opportunity cost” to society as a whole is zero, however, for workers who are unemployed. Society does not lose production elsewhere. Their wages are a transfer from taxpayers, but society doesn’t lose other production.

That fact may be meaningful only to economists, however. Many taxpayers will argue that a cost to the state treasury is a cost to the treasury.

Interest rates are yet another issue. Low interest rates are a signal that capital is plentiful and not finding alternate uses. Low

interest rates make the benefit-cost ratios of public construction higher and reduce their costs to taxpayers. Rates are at historic lows now because of Federal Reserve policy and will not stay this low forever. So building now may be cheaper than building in the future.

Ultimately, the decision is a subjective one. Maintaining existing facilities generally has a high payoff.

Or, put another way, letting existing facilities deteriorate for lack of maintenance has a high cost. In my home state of Minnesota, we also have many too-

long-deferred transportation projects that would have a high payoff. However, new stadiums and convention centers are iffy at best Spending public funds only on those projects where the benefits to society exceed the cost should be the rule in good times and bad. What citizens deem an appropriate level of total infrastructure spending is something that must be determined by the political process.

Boys Ranch dispute may go to court FARGO (AP) — The Fargo City Commission has rejected the appeal of a site for a residential youth treatment and education center.

Jonathan Garaas, attorney for the two parties that appealed, said the matter likely will end up in court.

The Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch wants to build the center on Fargo’s south side. The organization gave up on another building site more than a year ago after considerable neighborhood protest.

Fargo planners earlier rejected the challenge to the new site by landowner Fred Hector and Stanley Township, who argued city staff made errors in determining whether the center was allowed in the area. City Attorney Erik Johnson said he was comfortable with the planning staff’s work, and the City Commission rejected the appeal.

The Agricultural Products Utilization Commission plans to meet Feb. 17 in Mandan.

Thompson-based Sun Valley Container is seeking about $48,000 to help develop a new type of sugar container. The Northern Plains Sustainable Agriculture Society is asking for $25,000 to help develop markets for North Dakota organic products.

MINOT (AP) — Residents of the Devils Lake and Minot areas are able to get more information about the spring flood outlook during meetings this week.

Local, state and federal officials were on hand Tuesday at Devils Lake City Hall, and will be at the Minot Municipal Auditorium from 7-9 p.m. today.

At the Devils Lake meeting, officials discussed city levee improvement projects and emergency flood-fighting plans.

In Minot, topics will include flood preparation and flood insurance.

The National Weather Service says there’s a good chance of widespread flooding in the Missouri and Souris river basins this spring, and Devils Lake is almost certain to reach a record level.

Senate rejects mediation board A proposed independent mediation board for disputes between oil companies and landowners has been defeated in the North Dakota Senate.

Ryder Sen. John Warner said the measure was needed to referee problems that happen when oil drillers come on a surface owner’s property.

Surface landowners often do not benefit from oil exploration. But even then, they have to give oil producers access to their land, so they can drill.

Senators voted 14-32 on Tuesday to defeat the proposal. Opponents said there are other ways to work out problems between surface landowners and oil producers.

College scholarship idea defeated A North Dakota constitutional amendment to supply money for college scholarships has been rejected.

The proposed change sought to tap the investment earnings of a state school aid fund and use them for scholarships.

The fund was set up in 1994 to shield local schools from state budget cuts. It hasn’t been used for eight years, and forecasters say it should have more than $230 million by July 2013.

Fargo Sen. Tony Grindberg says the amendment will provide a guaranteed source of college scholarship money for the best high school students.

Underwood Sen. Layton Freborg opposed the amendment. He says the scholarship money can be provided without changing the constitution.

Senators voted down the resolution 17-29 on Tuesday. It was SCR4004.

Bill would teach finance earlier North Dakota high schoolers have to be taught financial literacy. Now a Bismarck legislator wants the instruction to start earlier.

Republican Dave Weiler is proposing a bill that would require teaching personal finance concepts at least once in sixth, seventh or eighth grade. Students would learn to budget and avoid debt.

Two years ago, lawmakers approved the same requirement for high school students. Weiler wants to extend the legislation to middle schools.

Opponents told the North Dakota House Education Committee on Tuesday that teachers don’t have room for more mandates on their curriculum.

State school official Linda Paluck says every teaching requirement means skipping a lesson on something else.

Some legislators say personal finance instruction could be included in social studies or math classes.

The bill is HB1412.

A bill reviewed Monday by the North Dakota House’s Education Committee would give the university system’s staff Senate a nonvoting position on the board.

The senate represents support workers such as cooks, custodians and counselors.

The Board of Higher Education now has eight voting members and a faculty representative who doesn’t vote.

Aaron Berg is president of the staff Senate and a police supervisor at the North Dakota State College of Science at Wahpeton. He says staff Senate has been organized statewide since 2008.

The Education Committee has recommended the bill be approved. It is HB1213.

Forecasts and maps prepared by:

No $100 bounty for shooting a coyote in N.D. North Dakota hunters won’t be getting a $100 bounty for shooting a coyote.

Coyotes are causing more expensive problems in western North Dakota because cattle and lamb prices are good. Some North Dakota senators say a possible solution is to pay hunters

$100 for each coyote they shoot, up to a m a x i m u m o f 2 , 0 0 0 c oy o t e s statewide.

Opponents of the measure say it would take $200,000 away from a program that uses professional hunters to control coyote numbers.

Bowman Sen. Bill Bowman says that approach isn’t working, because coyotes are getting more numerous.

The bounty bill failed in the North Dakota Senate on Tuesday, 30-16. The bill is SB2224.

Traffic study Continued from 1B He said they don’t lose more corridor options and the system will be able to handle traffic generated 20 years from now.

Mayor John Warford asked how social/economic priorities and traffic flow weighed against one another in study options. “( With) the Century Av e n u e e x t e n s i o n , w e would have to take a fire hall out,” Warford said. “We have citizens in the audience that would lose their homes.”

He said the Burnt Boat Drive corridor option made more social/economic sense, but seemed less ideal for traffic.

“I think it’s going to come down to levels of impact and levels of benefit,” Grabill said. He said a future study will give commissioners a better idea how well each of the alternatives would operate.

Al Lukes, a resident of Pinto Place, asked the city to consider a road that crossed from near Montana-Dakota Utilities across a corner of Lowe’s parking lot to the west to ease Century Avenue traffic risks.

CITY UPGRADING NPCC PLAN The Bismarck City Commission agreed to upgrade its master plan at the Northern Plains Commerce Center Tuesday.

The NPCC plan will show costs of adding rails for potential trans-load operators, and give options for rail serving the property south of Airway Avenue and west of Northern Plains Drive.

“We’re at a point if there needs to be more rail, we need to know where buildings can be placed and what land tracts can be sold so we can take a look if there is a next phase,” said City Administrator Bill Wocken before the meeting.

Wocken said he expected the master plan to be completed in a short time at a minimal cost.

— LeAnn Eckroth

Grabill said a signal light system at Century Avenue and Tyler Avenue might be a better solution.

Al Frank said residents who drive the roads should be on the steering committee for the corridors. He opposed extending Century Avenue directly west.

“Why not run them all the way down River Road to Main Avenue?” he asked.

He disagreed that there was too much grade going down Burnt Boat Drive.

“We can build all kinds of roads with the equipment we have today,” he said.

State Supreme Court Justice Dale Sandstrom was frustrated by the process that lacked notices to the public about committee meetings on the study. He said the report wasn’t available on the website the day before the planning commission meeting in late January.

He asked that officials keep the Ash Coulee arterial options and use turn lanes to ease traffic congestion for Horizon Middle School.

“That would take pressure off Burnt Boat Drive

Gambling taxes Continued from 1B Keith Lauer, director of the office’s gaming division, said the smaller tax amount would still be enough to cover regulatory costs. Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem is neutral on the tax-cut legislation, Lauer said.

The taxation of North Dakota’s charitable gambling industry was the focus of a legislative study last year, with lawmakers concluding it was overtaxed, Lauer said Tuesday.

“They saw that and

said, ‘Wait a minute, here.

This is not why we had charitable gaming, so the state of North Dakota could make money off of this industry,’” he said.

The Appropriations Committee did not take action on the bill. Its chairman, Sen. Raymon Holmberg, R-Grand Forks, said legislative budget writers would have to determine where it fit among an assortment of tax-cut proposals the Legislature is considering.

Representatives of sev-

eral charities said charitable gaming revenues have been declining generally.

Arlette Preston, a director of the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, said the museum has cut 10 staffers in the past four years. The tax reduction would help the museum survive, Preston said.

“We’re really to the point where we’re feeling like we can’t cut any further, or we’ll truly sacrifice the mission of the organization,” Preston said.

The bill is SB2042.

and the Century corridor,” Sandstrom said.

He opposed the direct extension of Century Avenue to the west.

“There are very significant water problems there. ... Plus you have the problem of tearing down a relatively new fire station, tearing down people’s homes and running a major road through people’s backyards,” he said.

Sandstrom said because of archaeological concerns, the Burnt Boat Drive option is not viable.

The $365,000 study is being jointly paid for by the city and the BismarckMa n d a n Me t r o p o l i t a n Planning Organization.

Borders of the study run b e t we e n t h e Mi s s o u r i River, Highway 1804, Washington Street and Interstate 94.

Much of the study focuses on how to move traffic fluidly in developments and future developments below 57th Avenue in the next 10 and 50 years.

Zanne Ness to be ordained Saturday Zanne Ness will be ordained to the priesthood at St . G e o r g e’s Ep i s c o p a l Church, 601 N. Fourth St., Bismarck, on Saturday. The Rt. Rev. Michael G.

S ECTION C

By KAREN HERZOG Bismarck Tribune If you’re going to make your own dear Valentine a celebratory dinner, you might as well go all out, appetizer to dessert.

Four imaginative courses — put together with the appropriate beverages — are guaranteed to impress the lady or gentleman you love.

Sometimes brought out only for dessert, try classic chocolate-dipped strawberries as the appetizer.

Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries 2 pint baskets strawberries 1 /2 cup semisweet chocolate chips 1 /2 cup milk chocolate chips 1 /2 cup white chocolate chips Finely chopped toasted almonds or pistachios (optional) Line large baking sheet with waxed paper. Rinse strawberries and pat dry with paper towels. In separate small, microwave-safe bowls, melt chocolates, one at a time, in microwave at medium power, allowing 11/2 to 2 minutes each. Stir until smooth. (If not completely melted, microwave a few seconds longer.) Holding strawberry by stem end, dip into chocolate to cover about three-fourths of berry; dip into nuts, if desired, and lay on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strawberries, chocolate and nuts. Refrigerate until chocolate is set. Makes about 8 servings (3 strawberries per serving).

For double- and triple-dipped strawberries: After first coating of chocolate is set, dip into contrasting chocolate, leaving part of the first chocolate exposed.

Repeat with third chocolate, if you wish, allowing each layer to set between dips.

To drizzle strawberries with chocolate: Microwave chocolate in small plastic bag until melted; squeeze into one corner of bag. Lay strawberries close together on baking sheet. With scissors, cut a small hole in corner of bag, and move back and forth over strawberries, squeezing bag gently. Or, drizzle contrasting chocolate over strawberries that have been dipped.

Refrigerate until set.

— California Strawberry Commission Strawberries also make a lovely addition to a salad, and this one is a colorful rainbow of spinach, blackberries and blueberries.

6 cups (32 ounces) strawberries 2 ounces balsamic vinegar 6 ounces fresh baby spinach 4 ounces goat cheese crumbles 1 cup walnuts or pecans (optional) 1 pint fresh blackberries (optional) 1 /2 pint fresh blueberries (optional) 8 ounces balsamic vinaigrette dressing Bring strawberries to room temperature. Wash, drain and remove caps.

Reserve eight whole strawberries. Slice remaining strawberries in half. Marinate sliced strawberries in vinegar five minutes. While marinating, divide spinach into eight equal portions (about 1 cup

Steak Au Poivre for Two each) and place on individual salad plates.

Drain strawberries well.

Divide sliced strawberries equally and arrange on each plate. Sprinkle goat cheese crumbles and nuts (if using) evenly over spinach and sliced strawberries. Cut reserved whole strawberries into thin slices. Fan a strawberry on top of each salad. If using, place blackberries and blueberries randomly on each plate. Pass vinaigrette. Makes 8 side salads.

— Florida Strawberry Growers Association Starring as a main course is a tender porterhouse or strip steak prepared “au poivre” (with pepper). Brandy, Dijon mustard, shallots and sour cream combine for a delectable sauce.

Steak Au Poivre for Two 1 (16-ounce) beef strip steak (or porterhouse) 2 tablespoons whole peppercorn blend (black, white, red, green) 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 3 tablespoons butter (dice 2 tablespoons into small cubes and keep refrigerated) 1 tablespoon minced shallot 1 /4 cup brandy 1 /4 cup beef stock 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons sour cream Crack peppercorns with the back of a skillet. Cut strip steak in half. Press cracked pepper firmly into both sides of each steak. Season with salt.

Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in medium saute pan over medium high heat. When butter foams, place steaks in pan, pressing firmly. Lower heat to medium and sear about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer steaks to a clean plate and tent with foil to keep warm.

Add shallots to the pan and, holding the pan away from heat, add brandy. Return pan to medium high heat. Expect a flame while the Continued on 2C

Men use woman to get to her hot friend Dear Annie: I have been best friends with “Claire” since junior high. She is nothing short of a knockout, with a sweet personality to match. We have always been very close, and I treasure our friendship.

The problem is, when we are out together, men are interested in Claire but feel she is unapproachable because she is so beautiful.

Instead, they talk me up to try to get their foot in the door with her. Quite frankly, I am fed up with men only talking to me because they know I am friends with Claire. Then, when she isn’t interested in them, I have to let them down. It’s exhausting.

I am successful, educated, smart and funny, and I’m not bad looking, either, but men are only interested in my hot friend. This has been going on since high school, and I’m 35, for heaven’s sake. How do I break this cycle or, at the very least, tactfully tell these men that I am not the key to Claire’s heart? — Invisible Dear Invisible: You are always going to suffer by comparison to Claire, so we strongly urge you not to try to meet men when you are with her. Her bright light makes every-

tax. Who is correct? — Wondering in New Hampshire Dear N.H.: You are, although we are sure the server appreciated the extra money. Since it bothers you, we recommend you handle the check next time.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Give that gift thing else seem dim. On other occasions, when you are in Claire’s company, it is perfectly OK to refuse to intercede. If you are approached about Claire, simply say, “Sorry, but if you are interested in my friend, you’ll have to talk to her directly.”

Taxes and tips Dear Annie:We recently had dinner at a local restaurant with three other couples. Usually, a tip is automatically added with parties of six or more, but this time, the server did not do so.

Our friend who handled the check added the tip to the total bill, including the fairly hefty tax, and then divided by the number of couples to see what we each owed. I was taught that one gave a tip on the price of the meal, not including the

Dear Annie: This is in response to “To Gift or Not To Gift,” whose daughter-in-law was talking about a divorce. “Gift” wanted to know if the daughter-in-law should be taken off the annual gift list.

It is always best to take the peaceful way in a family matter. I did and never regretted it. When my son and his wife split up, I told them both that I love them and their child and would not make my granddaughter choose between her parents. I included my daughter-in-law in all family gatherings.

They separated, but never divorced.

When my son was killed a few months later, I said as far as I was concerned there was no separation. I included my daughter-in-law in planning the funeral and the obituary. People had the nerve to say I shouldn’t have been so

inclusive, but I told them I was the mother and this is what I wanted. I did it for my daughter-in-law, my granddaughter and our family.

We are still close, and my granddaughter stays with me quite a bit.

Had I made enemies with my daughter-in-law when they separated, I may not have had the chance to spend so much time with my son’s daughter. I say give her the gift, and the next time she complains about your son, simply say, “You are talking about my child, and it hurts me to hear negative things about him.

Please don’t put me in the middle like that.” You will be surprised how fast she will respect your wishes.

My daughter-in-law once asked whether I minded if she still considered me to be her mother-in-law, even if she someday remarries. I told her I would be honored. — A.G. Dear A.G.: You did it right. Brava.

Reader wonders if Protandim will help arthritis

By DR. PETER GOTT DEAR DR.GOTT:Have you ever heard of the supplement Protandim? I’ve been told that it could help my rheumatoidarthritis pain. What can you tell me about it? And if it’s so great, why don’t doctors tell us about it?

DEAR READER: Let me start by saying I have no affiliation with this product.

Protandim’s ingredients include milk thistle, Bacopa extract, Ashwagandha, greentea extract and turmeric extract. This dietary supplement is an antioxidant that has received a fair amount of publicity on national television, in newspapers and elsewhere as a new breakthrough in boost-

ing the immune system.

Milk thistle has been used for 2,000 years as an herbal remedy for many ailments, including liver and gallbladder disease, and as an antidote for mushroom poisoning if given within 10 minutes of ingestion. When given within 24 hours, it’s purported to greatly reduce the risk of liver damage and death from ingestion. It contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Bacopa extract is used to restore and nourish the central nervous system. It contains antioxidants thought to protect brain cells and is commonly used to enhance memory and concentration.

Ashwagandha is common-

ly taken to relieve stress, treat inflammation and fever, and to protect against illness and infection. It is marketed as an immune-system booster, to improve memory and promote overall wellness.

G re e n - t e a e x t ra c t i s derived from green-tea leaves.

It contains antioxidant properties that can be generally divided into four aspects — antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-radiation and anti-carcinogen.

Turmeric extract is yet another antioxidant/inflammatory/bacterial remedy touted to support healthy skin, reduce cholesterol levels and joint pain, and possibly help in preventing some cancers.

Aging begins within every

cell of the body and is both progressive and inevitable. As a person ages, the body produces fewer antioxidants to fight the aging process and disorders such as arthritis. The manufacturers of Protandim state that scientists agree that aging and many “deadly” diseases are the result of deterioration of cells owing to rogue molecules known as free radicals. The damage that occurs is known as oxidative stress.

The product is touted to reduce that oxidative stress by an average 40 percent.

T h e Fo o d a n d D r u g Administration has not evaluated any of these statements; nor is Protandim intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

My guess? If you haven’t heard about this so-called breakthrough product, it is because your physician has chosen to address your medical issues through more conventional methods.

I recommend that you speak with your physician regarding an exercise program, apply heat or cold to your painful muscles, join a yoga program, or practice tai chi for pain control. Then consider NSAIDs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory over-the-counter medications, stronger prescription NSAIDs, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) and others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your imagination could get the best of you this afternoon. You can steer this in a positive direction, though, by focusing your attention on what you wish for and not on what you’re afraid will happen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’d rather work to live than live to work. That’s why you might make an executive decision to put off some mundane and minor responsibilities in favor of catching some bit of muchneeded leisure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21). Your primary aim is to please your loved ones, but they give you very little indication as to how this might be accomplished. It is a compliment that they leave it all up to your discretion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Your memory is strong. Make notes about your past. Even if you only capture a sentence or two, you’ll be glad you did. This will be a trigger for future thought, discussion and storytelling.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you hang on too tight

to your responsibilities, you will strangle the fun out of your day. There is a time to let go and get a little bit wild.

Be open to oddball suggestions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you see someone who could use a hand, your first reaction is to volunteer whatever help you can give.

Someone is glad to take what you offer. Be judicious, though.

(If you would like to write to Holiday Mathis, go to www.creators.com and click on “Write the Author” on the Holiday Mathis page.)

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are closely connected to a loved one in ways you cannot explain. You feel the intensity of this bond throughout the day, and you can almost hear the whisper of destiny in this relationship.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are a strong leader, though you are careful not to come across in a way that hurts anyone’s feelings or offends the more delicate sensibilities of certain team members.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You find meaning as you labor to make someone else’s life better. Somehow this is even more satisfying than acting to fulfill your own needs and desires, but that will change tomorrow.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re brilliant about social matters and logistics.

You could single-handedly organize and coordinate an event that will later be considered one of the most memorable of the year.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ll avoid mistakes by being extra vigilant. Double back on your efforts, and check your work, as well as the work of your colleagues.

Then take a walk and come back to assess things with new eyes. You can’t be too careful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You will come to your own conclusions about your work. You will be indifferent to the praise or criticism of others because you realize that no one is as qualified to judge your choices as you are.

BRIDGE

By PHILLIP ALDER Mark Twain said, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.”

The difference between the right play and the almost right play may be the difference between a plus score and a minus score.

This deal is an example.

How would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade three?

The auction was quantitative and straightforward.

You have seven top tricks: two spades, two diamonds and three clubs.

And there is a natural assumption that the clubs will provide the extra two winners that you need.

The equally natural play is to win the first trick and lead a club to dummy’s queen. You know that if East has all four clubs, you can pick up his jack with a finesse of your 10. Here, though, when East discards a diamond, you cannot recover.

How could you know that West has all four clubs?

What was West’s lead?

Right — the spade three.

And since you can see the two in the dummy, West has led from a four-card suit. If he had been void in clubs, he would have had at least five cards in one of the red suits. And since length rules in no-trump, surely he would have led from that suit, not a spade.

So, you should play West for four clubs by cashing your ace first.

Then you can lead clubs twice through West to pick up the whole suit without loss and take two spades, two diamonds and five clubs.

Always read the opening lead, then work out what else it implies — if anything.

Century claims crown P. Williams

K. Williams

Vikings get some bad news Appeals court will not block Williamses’ suspensions

By AMY FORLITI Associated Press

MIKE McCLEARY/Tribune

Century’s Logan Rauhauser scored three goals as the Patriots beat Bismarck on Tuesday in an intracity rivalry tilt at the VFW Sports Center.

Patriots win West Region regular-season title

By STEVE THOMAS Bismarck Tribune Bad news, it is said, tends to run in threes.

On Tuesday night good news traveled in a pack, and it sojourned in the company of Logan Rauhauser.

Rauhauser, a senior forward on the Century hockey team, scored three goals as the Patriots overpowered archrival Bismarck 5-1.

In addition, Rauhauser was presented with the Joel Ulness award, celebrated his 18th birthday, and reveled in Century’s 10th straight win and its title-clinching 14th regional victory.

Not a bad night for Rauhauser, who pointed out one more delight in the proceedings at the VFW Sports Center.

“The best thing is probably beating Bismarck and sweeping them in the West Region and knowing that hasn’t been done in a long time,” said Rauhauser, a 5foot-9, 186-pound powerhouse.

Century made it clear in the first period that it meant business. Seven minutes of inconclusive skirmishing was followed by a two-goal Patriot offensive explosion and a little defensive razzmatazz.

Century 5, Bismarck 1 Rauhauser drew first blood, scoring from the left post on a nifty pass through the crease by Zach Holmen at the 7-minute mark.

It took just 11 seconds for the Patriots to double that lead as Tanner Megal beat Demons goalie Brett Malkmus, rebounding his own shot from short range.

“Those back-to-back

goals really boosted our confidence and we just kept going from there,” Rauhauser said.

Ce n t u r y c o a c h Tr oy Olson said the two quick tallies made for a good start.

“I was just hoping to get the first one in a rivalry like this,” Olson said. “Then we got the second one on the next shift, and I think the guys settled down a little bit.”

Four minutes later, Century offered Bismarck an opportunity to get back into the game. Cole Ude was whistled for holding and Holmen took a delay of game call, both at 11:16. The

Patriots survived the double trouble, surrendering just one shot on net.

“I was definitely happy to get out of that five-on-three. ... You don’t see that very often,” Olson noted.

That penalty killing sequence left little doubt who was in charge.

“That got our guys on their heels ... and they didn’t respond the way they need to,” BHS coach Mike Peluso said.

Peluso said Tuesday’s game was a perfect time for the Demon leaders, role players and goalie to take charge.

Titletown is back

Stampede stopped on way Wizards foe couldn’t make it to town on time

By LOU BABIARZ Tribune Sports Editor The longest homestand in Dakota Wizards’ history got about three hours longer Tuesday night.

Because some members of the Idaho Stampede got held up in Denver, the 10th and

final game of Dakota’s homestand didn’t tip off until after 10 p.m., 10:08 to be exact.

Half of the Stampede arrived in Bismarck on Monday. But the rest got caught in a series of delays in Denver and didn’t get into town until about 8:45 p.m., well past the scheduled 7 p.m. start.

Because of the PRCA rodeo that is scheduled for the Civic Center Friday and Saturday, the game could not be postponed until today, according to Scott Woodmansee, direc-

tor of game operations for the Wizards. The game could have been rescheduled for later in the season, but it would have been at the expense of the Stampede.

Woodmansee said the latest the Wizards could have started the game would have been about 11 p.m.

Fans who chose not to attend Tuesday’s game can contact the team at 258-2255 to redeem their tickets for any home game in March, Woodmansee said.

Fans celebrate Green Bay’s Super win with final tailgate IN PROGESS The Dakota Wizards game against the Idaho Stampede was in progress when the Tribune went to press.

Dickinson State moving into the Frontier Blue Hawks join Montana-based NAIA conference

By Tribune Sports Staff Dickinson State University and Southern Oregon University will be joining the Frontier Conference.

The Blue Hawks will join the Frontier as a full-fledged

member of the conference, while the Raiders will be an associate member in football only.

Dickinson will become a conference member for the 2012-13 school year.

“A conference championship is what all football teams in the country hope for, whether it would be high school or college,” Dickinson State football coach Hank

Biesiot said.

“You certainly want to be in a conference and in a conference you have a chance at winning.”

Both schools received unanimous approval on Tuesday from the Frontier presidents at the conclusion of a two-day meeting held at Rocky Mountain College in

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that it won’t permanently block the NFL from suspending Vikings defensive tackles Kevin Williams and Pat Williams for violating the league’s anti-doping policy.

Barring another appeal, the ruling appears to clear the way for the NFL to suspend the players, which it has been trying to do since both tested positive for a banned diuretic in 2008.

The players have been fighting their suspensions and could appeal the latest decision to the state Supreme Court.

Peter Ginsberg, an attorney for both players, said early Tuesday he had not talked to his clients and wasn’t sure whether they would seek another appeal.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the NFL is reviewing the decision and determining how to proceed.

The Williamses, who are not related, tested positive in 2008 for bumetanide, a banned diuretic that can mask the presence of steroids that was in the StarCaps weight-loss supplement they were taking.

They were not accused of taking steroids and said they didn’t know the diuretic was in the supplement.

The players sued the NFL in state court, saying it Continued on 4D

Billings, Mont.

Dickinson State is leaving the Dakota Athletic Conference, which it has been a member of since 2000.

“We will miss playing teams in the (DAC) conference since it was formed,” Biesiot said. “On our schedule, it would be nice to continue to play teams we have played for 30 or 40 years.”

By TODD RICHMOND Associated Press GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers fans rejoiced one more time with their cherished Super Bowl champions during a frigid ceremony Tuesday to welcome the Vince Lombardi Trophy back to Lambeau Field after a 14-year absence.

Temperatures were in the single digits as the celebration began, but the Packer diehards were undaunted. Fans in the front row traded highfives with the players and reached out to touch the championship trophy as coach Mike McCarthy marched past with the hardware hoisted high over his head.

The Lombardi Trophy carries special meaning in Green Bay because it’s named for the Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi, who led the Pack-

ers to wins in the first two Super Bowls.

“I w i l l never forget this,” said Amanda Lee, 33, of Milwaukee, who wore a No. 12 jersey.

“I got to touch the trophy, but I couldn’t actually feel it (because her hands were so cold). I touched Aaron Rodgers’ pinky! I’ll never wash my hand again.”

The celebration capped a party that has been going nonstop in Green Bay since Sunday, when the Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 in Arlington, Texas, to win their fourth Super Bowl title and first since 1996. The ceremony shone a spotlight on the decades-old love affair between the team and the NFL’s smallest-market city.

Wild welcome Zidlicky back to practice

By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Sports Writer ST. PAUL, Minn. — Fix up an injury ideally for good, or let it heal and fight through the discomfort?

There are plenty of factors to consider on either side of such decisions faced by so many in competitive sports, as Minnesota Wild defenseman Marek Zidlicky mulled after hurting his shoulder five weeks ago.

The sharp-shooting defenseman picked rehabilitation over season-ending surgery, and that choice could soon give the Wild one of their key players back for the playoff chase.

Zidlicky took a significant step toward his return, receiving the traditional stick tap on the ice as a welcome back from his teammates to start his first practice since the injury.

Zidlicky was still catching his breath but smiling Tuesday, as he talked about regaining his conditioning and pushing past lingering soreness to rejoin the Wild for what will be his first game since Dec. 29.

Neither he nor coach Todd Richards were willing to speculate about exactly when that would be, but the original recovery timetable was set at

four to six weeks after Zidlicky was checked into the boards by San Jose Sharks left wing Jamie McGinn.

“I felt much better, so it’s nice to be back and practice with the guys,” Zidlicky said. “It’s going to be day to day, so I’m just waiting for probably a couple more days, and we’ll see what happens next week.”

Zidlicky donned a no-contact yellow jersey during practice, so he still must receive clearance for collisions before he’s close to playing in a game again. This, though, was an encouraging sign for the Wild, who have climbed back in the Western Conference race without the wide-ranging contributions of the 34-year-old Zidlicky.

“It’s huge for us,” teammate Andrew Brunette said.

Zidlicky’s 37 assists ranked second on the Wild last season.

In 30 games this season before getting hurt, he had four goals and 16 assists. His hard righthanded shot is a valuable part of the power play, and he’s one of their best puck-movers on the blue line. He’s more of an offensive defenseman, but Zidlicky drew praise from his coach for the way he scraps for the puck in his own zone.

“To be honest with you I was

Minnesota’s Marek Zidlicky has been missed by the Wild. extremely concerned,” Richards said, referring to his reaction when Zidlicky was first hurt.

Rookie Jared Spurgeon has p l a ye d we l l i n Zi d l i c k y ’s absence, and All-Star Brent Burns has added more scoring punch. The Wild are 10-6 since Zidlicky’s injury, and though they’re in 10th place they’ve played between one and three fewer games than every team in front of them and the two immediately behind them.

Only nine standings points separated fourth and 14th place

when play began Tuesday.

Zidlicky said he never believed his season was over, despite the severe pain from the injury. After enduring the frustration of only being able to watch on TV or from the press box, he’s eager to be back on the blue line helping the Wild try to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in three years.

Whenever that is. “ N o i d e a r i g h t n o w, ” Richards said. “It’s just getting his legs, getting his timing, getting comfortable.”

Century’s Devon Butz stopped 21 Bismarck shots as the Patriots beat the Demons in a West Region matchup at the VFW Sports Center.

Patriots take down Demons “We didn’t have any of the above,” he said.

Rauhauser and Bismarck’s Kyle Wolf traded second-period goals to make the score 3-1, but Bismarck’s Bryce Eckman took a fateful interference penalty at the end of the session.

Rauhauser made the Demons pay, notching a power pay goal at 1:09 of the third period to complete his hat trick.

Kurt Bry was credited with the final goal. Malkmus appeared to have Bry’s shot measured, but it trickled out of his glove and plopped across the goal line at 8:47.

Rauhauser said a dominant victory over Bismarck was just what the Patriots needed with the regional tournament looming just around the bend.

“We should be getting better and better and that’s

Olson said he liked what he saw, especially in Century’s defensive zone.

“Our guys played well taking care of the puck and limiting shots,” the coach noted. “When things go well in the defensive zone you have a shot to be in the game.”

Continued from 1D Before the DAC, DSU was a long-time member of the NDCAC. Jamestown and Menlo (Calif.) made formal presentations to the Frontier’s council of presidents as well. The schools weren’t rejected, but asked to be considered at a future time.

Geographically, DSU was the closest school of the four who applied to join the Frontier.

The schools are Rocky Mountain, Montana Western, Carroll, Great Falls, MSU-Northern, Montana Tech, Eastern Oregon and Westminster.

“The presidents have authorized me to expand the conference and this is just the first step,” Paulson said. “Several other schools have expressed interest in joining and that could happen prior to the 2012 season.”

Biesiot said during his time at DSU, the Blue Hawks have played every team in the Frontier except Western Montana and Eastern Oregon.

“It’s a very good confere n c e. We’v e b e e n i n knock-‘em down-drag - ‘e m - o u t affairs with R o c k y Mountain the past few years,” Biesiot said. “I was a l w a y s Biesiot confident we would have a good schedule.”

Dickinson State will still be a part of the DAC next season with Jamestown, Valley City State and Mayville State.

The Frontier conference will have eight teams competing in football and nine teams competing in volleyball, and men’s and women’s basketball.

Tuesday’s announcement marks the first time the conference has expanded since 2006.

The Frontier Council of Presidents has said it was interested in expansion because it would increase opportunities and competition for student-athletes, and the conference would receive more national recognition.

Celebrate

Vikings’Williamses

Continued from 1D On Sunday night, thousands took to the streets to celebrate amid an explosion of greenand-gold fireworks. On Monday, tens of thousands of hoarse but giddy fans lined the roads from Austin Straubel International Airport to Lambeau to cheer on the team’s motorcade as it returned to the stadium.

The 56,000 tickets for the official “Return to Titletown” ceremony Tuesday sold out within hours Monday. Fans from far and wide were in the stadium’s parking lot early Tuesday, grilling brats, throwing down beers and tossing footballs in a final tailgate party — never mind a wind chill of 14 below.

“The weather’s fine. I can barely feel it,” Ken Hampp, 23, of Appleton, said in the parking lot as he sipped a beer, before it froze. “That’s my favorite thing about winter. You can just stick your beer in the snow.”

The stadium opened two hours before the ceremony. The atmosphere inside was electric as fans watched highlights from the past season on the stadium’s giant TV screens set to a rousing orchestral soundtrack. The crowd waved world champion flags, erupted into chants of “Go Pack Go!” and danced to House of Pain’s “Jump Around” and the Village People’s “YMCA.” Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt addressed the crowd from a stage on the 50-yard line, announcing the city would name a street “McCarthy’s Way” in keeping with a tradition that calls for the city to name a street after every Super Bowl-winning coach.

Republican Gov. Scott Walker was next, generating a mix of cheers and boos. He handed Packers President Mark Murphy a proclamation declaring February Packers month.

But the crowd was more

violated state labor law.

Their suspensions have been on hold while the case has been playing out in state and federal courts.

Last May, Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson ruled the NFL broke state law when it failed to notify the players of their positive test results within the mandated three days. But the judge also declined to permanently block the NFL from suspending the players, saying they weren’t harmed by t h e n o t i f i c a t i o n delays.

The players appealed, asking that the suspensions be permanently blocked.

A three-judge panel of the appeals court a f f i r m e d t h e l ow e r court’s decision to deny permanent relief from the suspensions — but had different reasons for its decision.

The appeals court ruled that bumetanide isn’t defined as a drug under state law, so the NFL wasn’t required to tell the players of its presence in the drug tests.

According to the 11page decision, the Williamses provided urine samples for drug testing during their annual physical exams in 2008. The samples for each player were divided into separate bottles for testing purposes. Once an initial test read positive for bumetanide, the other samples were tested to confirm the presence of the diuretic.

Associated Press

Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson, right, hands the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Packers coach Mike McCarthy. interested in seeing their heroes than their politicians, as evidenced by signs that read “Jordy Nelson, Will You Be My Valentine?” and “Clay Matthews Will You Marry Me?” Kimberly Zachary, 19, of La Crosse, held a sign that read “Driver Your Smile Makes It All Worth While,” referring to veteran wide receiver Donald Driver, whose ever-present grin has helped him emerge as a fan heartthrob.

She said she chose to attend college at Wisconsin-Green Bay in part because of the Packers.

“It’s like going to a school for a boyfriend or girlfriend,” Zachary’s friend, Kelly Peerendboom, 20, of Tomahawk said.

Then she sighed. “I don’t think I’ve ever felt so happy to be part of a team.”

When the players finally emerged from the tunnel that leads to the field from their locker room, the crowd erupted, purging 14 years of frustration.

The players, bundled up in parkas and stocking caps, strolled along the front row of

the stadium on their way to the stage, smiling, pumping their fists and high-fiving everyone who could reach them.

“Just a very special moment,” safety Nick Collins told the crowd from the stage. “Something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. I’ve been chasing this dream for a long, long time, and I’m just glad to be a part of it.”

Driver, who injured an ankle in the Super Bowl and couldn’t finish the game, seemed overwhelmed by the moment.

“We’re Super Bowl champs, baby! All season long, you guys believed. . We love you guys so much,” he said.

Team officials saved Super Bowl MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers for last. With a towel wrapped around his head like a scarf, Rodgers yelled into the microphone, “What’s up, Titletown?” The crowd responded with a roar. “We did it together!

We brought that title home! We love you!” Rodgers said. “I tell you what, Green Bay, we’re going to be right here next year doing the exact same thing!”

T h e appeals c o u r t ruled that since the purpose of those confirmatory tests was solely to detect the presence of bumetanide — which state law doesn’t define as a drug — there is no legal basis for the court to find that the NFL violated the state’s notification requirements.

“A c c o r d i n g l y, although we do not agree with the district court’s interpretation of (state law), we nevertheless affirm its order denying injunctive relief,” the appeals court ruled.

The appeals court said that if the initial screening and subsequent tests had been positive for anabolic steroids — which are defined as a drug by the state — the NFL would have been subject to reporting requirements.

Ginsberg, the Williamses attorney, said the court ruled the NFL has to follow the law, but since it was testing for bumetanide, the restrictions of the law don’t apply to his clients.

“The NFL has again sort of lost the war but won the battle,” Ginsberg said. He said he hopes the union takes a more proactive role in fashioning a better drug testing policy in future contract negotiations with the NFL. Aiello said the NFL is pleased with the decision, saying it confirms

Continued from 1D that the NFL’s testing program did not violate Minnesota state law and “vindicates the policy and procedures of the program.”

Pat Williams, the oldest defensive player in the league last season at 38, finished a three-year contract and will be a free agent. The Vikings aren’t expected to re-sign him. The three-time Pro Bowl pick has seen his production and playing time decrease over the last few seasons.

Asked whether Pat Williams would appeal, his agent Angelo Wright, said: “I don’t know yet, but we’ll do something.”

Wright said Williams plans to play this season.

“He’s just working on being in great shape and getting ready to play football,” Wright said.

The 30-year-old Kevin Williams also is coming off a substandard season, with a career-low one sack. His agent did not immediately return a phone message left.

The NFL had argued its anti-doping policy was a product of its collective bargaining agreement and was governed by federal labor law, which should trump state laws.

The case was watched by other major sports leagues — including the MLB, NBA and NHL — which supported the NFL and a their drugtesting programs would be at risk if players were allowed to challenge drug-testing policies in different state courts.

“You’re clearly an energy force for our football team,” coach Mike McCarthy told the fans.

And after a few brief comments from the Packers’ other top players, Aaron Rodgers took over — just as he did all season in performances that elevated him among the NFL’s elite.

Rodgers, the Super Bowl MVP, has had a whirlwind 48 hours that included a trip to Disney World on Monday morning and an appearance on “The Late Show” with David Letterman later that night.

He sounded tired and hoarse in the frigid weather, but he had offered his fans one more thing before he left — his “title belt.”

“I just want you to know, for the next year you guys can steal my belt celebration because we’re the champions of the world. Put that on w h e n e v e r y o u w a n t ,” Rodgers said with a huge Associated Press smile. “It’s been a great journey.”

tract so that’s what I plan on doing.”

Just when anyone might start training camp so that Green Bay can begin its title defense is unknown.

The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement expires at the end of the day March 3, and barring an agreement before then, owners can lock out the players.

If some of the Steelers sounded pessimistic about a deal getting done in time, most of the Packers believed it would happen sooner than later.

“We have a lot of guys working for something bigger than just the individuals.

So, we’re going to get something worked out. I’m hopeful for that. As players, we’re hopeful for that,” kicker Mason Crosby said. “We hope to be playing because ultimately that’s what we love to do and want to do.”

It’s certain, too, that Packers’ fans will wait patiently for their team to return to the NFL’s smallest market.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers took one last chance to say goodbye to their fans and each other.

Tuesday was a final day to publicly celebrate their Super Bowl-winning season, and the Packers did it in style in front of more than 56,000 fans who paid $5 to spend a final hour with their team for the first time in 36 days.

The last time the Packers were at Lambeau Field, they beat division rival Chicago in a must-win game that propelled them to a championship run, ending with the return of the Lombardi Trophy to Titletown after 14 years with a 31-25 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.

In t h e l o c k e r r o o m , almost ever ything was cleared out except for a three-deep line where players claimed their game-worn Super Bowl jerseys and Super Bowl locker nameplates before heading off.

“It’s a great feeling, I’m going to cherish that moment for the rest of my life,” said safety Nick Collins, who returned an interception for a touchdown against the Steelers. “It’s been a rollercoaster ride, up and down, but our fans stuck behind us and we were able to bring the trophy back where it belonged — Titletown.”

The trophy took a victory lap and will be placed with the other NFL championships the franchise has won going back to 1929.

“It was a wonderful experience,” general manager

Ted Thompson said. “It took everybody to win this thing and i t ’s just remarkable what these young men did.”

The players who lingered included several with uncertain futures in the franchise that’s been built with depth in the draft by Thompson.

Whenever free agency begins, Green Bay will have questions.

“It’s where my journey began and hopefully it’ll be where it ends, but I told them I do understand that there’s a business side involved,” said defensive end Cullen Jenkins, who is unsigned headed into next season. “I had wanted a little security, something earlier before the season started, but we weren’t able to get that. So, you understand it’s the business part of it. If I don’t end up back here, there’ll be no hard feelings.”

Linebacker Nick Barnett has two years left on his contract, but the former firstround pick who spent most of the season on injured reserve may be too pricey to bring back after the emergence of several quality backups.

“It’s going to be hard to deny my hunger that I’m going to show coming into training camp next year, but we’ll see what happens,” Barnett said. “You guys are more worried because you’re looking for a story — who’s going to be here, who’s not going to be here. I’d love to finish my career as a Packer, I’ve got two years on my con-

MARKET SUMMARY

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 3.74 percent from 3.64 percent Monday, its highest rate since last April.

The government auctioned $32 billion of threeyear notes at a yield of 1.34 percent, the highest borrowing rate the government has had to pay on those notes since last May. Interest from foreign buyers was relatively weak.

Better economic news,

NONFERROUS METALS

including a drop in the unemployment rate, has led investors to sell low-yielding government bonds over the past two weeks. Some of that money is going into stocks, especially those of large corporations that pay fat dividends.

Three stocks rose for every two that fell on the New York Stock Exchange.

NASDAQ

Dow up for 7th straight day NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average closed higher for the seventh consecutive day Tuesday. That’s the longest series of gains for the index since July.

McDonald’s Corp. was the biggest gainer of the 30 stocks in the Dow, rising 2.6 percent after reporting January sales that were higher than analysts expected.

Investors took in stride a move by China’s central bank to control inflation by raising short-term interest rates.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 71.52 points, or 0.6 percent, to close at 12,233.15. The index has had only one down day in the last 10, on Jan. 28 when the protests in Egypt escalated.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.52, or 0.4 percent, to 1,324.57. The Nasdaq composite index rose 13.06, or 0.5 percent, to 2,797.05.

Bond prices fell, extending a week of losses and sending their yields higher.

IRS reduces penalties for tax cheats who come clean

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press WASHINGTON — International tax evaders who come clean will be able to avoid jail and pay reduced fines under a new voluntary disclosure program announced Tuesday by the Internal Revenue Service.

Tax cheats will have until Aug. 31 to settle up with the IRS or face an ongoing crackdown against Americans who hide assets overseas, IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said.

“If we find you, you face harsher penalties and the possibility of jail time,” Shulman said. “If you come in voluntarily, you pay a steep price but avoid going to jail.”

The offer is similar to one the IRS made in 2009 that netted 15,000 tax evaders.

Shulman said the IRS has closed 2,000 of those cases, collecting $400 million in additional revenue.

Shulman said the new offer isn’t as generous because he doesn’t want to reward tax cheats who waited two years to come forward.

Under the new program, tax evaders must pay back taxes, interest and delinquency penalties for the past eight years, if accounts have been held that long. In addition, they will have to pay a penalty of up to 25 percent of the highest annual amount in the overseas account from 2003 through 2010.

Shulman said the 2009 disclosure program provided the IRS with many leads on the bankers and financial advisers who help Americans hide assets. He said the IRS is now investigating “a number of other banks” and is tracking the flow of illicit money.

The disclosure programs are part of a larger effort by the Obama administration to crack down on Americans who evade U.S. taxes by hidi n g a s s e t s i n ov e r s e a s accounts. In 2009, Swiss banking giant UBS AG agreed to turn over details on 4,450 accounts suspected of holding undeclared assets

from American customers.

“We’ve been getting better and better at detecting offshore accounts. Therefore, the risk of being caught is increasing,” Shulman said.

“We now have a number of other banks under investiga-

tion based on information we received from our first round of disclosures and from other sources. Tax secrecy continues to erode.”

Shulman declined to provide details about any ongoing investigations.
