Bulky budget talk Some cuts, not the slashes GOP wanted

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Putting on the brakes after two years of big spending increases, President Barack Obama unveiled a $3.7 trillion budget plan Monday that would freeze or reduce some safety-net programs for the nation’s poor but turn aside Republican demands for more drastic cuts to shrink the government to where it was before he took office.

The 10-year blueprint makes “tough choices and sacrifices,” Obama said in his official INSIDE budget mesN.D. delegation sage. Yet the says federal plan, which budget needs sets the work, 7A stage for this week’s nasty congressional fight over cuts in the budget year that’s already more than one-third over, steers clear of deeply controversial long-term problem areas such as Social Security and Medicare.

The budget relies heavily on the recovering economy, tax increases and rosy economic assumptions to estimate that the federal deficit would drop from t h i s y e a r ’s r e c o r d $1.6 trillion — an astronomical figure that requires the government to borrow 43 cents out of every dollar it spends — to about $600 billion after five years.

Tribal members sentenced for liens Little Shell men filed against judge, prosecutor

By JENNY MICHAEL Bismarck Tribune A U.S. District Court judge has sentenced two members of an unrecognized Native American tribe to prison for filing $3.4 million of liens against a federal judge and a federal prosecutor. One of the men also was sentenced for threatening another federal judge.

Michael Howard Reed, 50, was convicted in October of making threats against U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson and of placing a false lien against U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland and Assistant U.S. Attorney Lynn Jordheim, who was acting U.S. attorney for North Dakota at the time.

Gregory A. Davis, 44, also was convicted in October of filing the false liens.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Wright, from South Dakota, prosecuted the case, and U.S. District Judge Charles Kornmann, also from South Dakota, presided over the case. All North Dakota federal judges were recused from the case due to the threats to Erickson and the lien against Hovland, while federal prosecutors in the state Continued on 7A

The echo of a revolution ‘Egypt effect’ felt across Middle East

“The Arab opposition are using the Egyptian model as a message that anything is possible.”

By BRIAN MURPHY Associated Press DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The possible heirs of Egypt’s uprising took to the streets Monday in different corners of the Middle East: Iran’s beleaguered opposition stormed back to central Tehran and came under a tear gas attack by police.

Demonstrators faced rubber bullets and birdshot to demand more freedoms in t h e re l a t i v e w e a l t h o f Bahrain. And protesters pressed for the ouster of the ruler in poverty-drained Yemen.

The protests — all with critical interests for Washington — offer an important lesson about how groups across Middle East are absorbing the message from Cairo and tailoring it to their own aspirations.

The heady themes of democracy, justice and empowerment remain intact as the protest wave works it way through the Arab world and beyond. What changes, however, are the objectives.

The Egypt effect, it seems, is elastic.

“This isn’t a one-size-fitsall thing,” said Mustafa Alani,

“Death to the dictator,” many yelled in reference to Ahmadinejad. Others took aim Iran’s all-powerful Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with chants linking him with toppled rulers Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and Tunisia’s Zine Al Abidine Ben Ali. “Bin Ali, Mubarak, it’s Seyed Ali’s turn,” protesters cried.

House extends key provisions of Patriot Act WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Monday agreed to a 10-month extension of three key law enforcement powers in the fight against terrorism that some privacy advocates from both the right and left regard as infringements on civil liberties.

The House measure, passed 275-144, would extend authority for the USA Patriot Act-related provisions until Dec. 8. Common ground must be found with the Senate before the provisions expire on Feb. 28.

Last week the House, in an embarrassment for the new GOP leadership, failed to pass the same bill under an expedited procedure requiring a two-thirds majority.

Twenty-six Republicans joined 122 Democrats in voting against it. Monday’s vote drew 27 Republican no votes.

The main objections are to what critics see as unconstitutional search and seize authority and big government intrusions into private lives.

Sherrod decides to sue blogger WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Agriculture Department employee who was shown in an edited video making what appeared to be racist remarks has sued the conservative blogger who posted the video that led to her dismissal.

Shirley Sherrod said Monday that she is “still reeling” from being ousted in a racial firestorm last July. USDA officials asked Sherrod to resign after blogger Andrew Breitbart posted an edited video of comments she had made in a speech earlier in the year.

Missing from the clip was much of her speech, which was meant as a lesson in racial healing.

She later received numerous apologies from the administration.

The suit asks for damages but does not specify an amount.

Eurozone OKs funding bailouts BRUSSELS (AP) — European finance ministers decided Monday to provide $674 billion for a new crisis fund that will come into force in 2013, but continued to fight over the best way to combat the current debt crisis that has crippled the eurozone over the past year.

The ministers “agreed on the provisional volume of $674 billion, which will be revised every other year,” said Jean Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg who chairs the regular meetings of the 17 eurozone finance ministers.

Additional financing for the so-called European Stability Mechanism will come from the International Monetary Fund, which is already contributing one third of the region’s existing crisis fund.

THE INSIDE STORY

Drug war fought on ice

ABOUT US Established in 1873, the Bismarck Tribune is the official newspaper of the state of North Dakota, county of Burleigh and city of Bismarck. Published daily at 707 E. Front Ave., Bismarck, ND 58504. Periodicals postage paid at the Bismarck Post Office. Member of the Associated Press.

CHRIS HAWLEY Associated Press MASSENA, N.Y. — Border Patrol agent Glenn Pickering slowed his rumbling snowmobile to a stop and eyed two trails of churnedup snow running down a riverbank.

They were snowmobile tracks leading out onto the ice of the frozen St. Lawrence River that runs between upstate New York and Canada. At night smugglers race across the ice with bags of marijuana. Pickering shielded his eyes with his hand as the wind covered the tracks; he couldn’t see whether they went all the way across the border.

“There are all these islands out here, and the snowmobiles just come shooting across,” Pickering said. “It’s a constant battle.”

This is the United States’ forgotten border, where federal agents and police play cat-and-mouse with smugglers and illegal immigrants along 4,000 miles of a mostly unmarked and unfortified frontier with Canada. Unlike the southern border with Mexico, where drug-related violence has exploded in recent years, the northern border rarely makes headlines.

That changed this month after the U.S. Government Accountability Office released a report warning that the terrorist threat from Canada was higher than from Mexico because of the vast swaths of unprotected frontier. Just 32 miles of the 4,000-mile border have an acceptable level of Border

U.S. Border Patrol agents Janice Jones, left, and Glenn Pickering ride snowmobiles along the St. Lawrence River in Massena, N.Y., on Feb. 10.

Patrol security, with agents available to make on-site arrests, the report said.

Senators from northern border states urged the Obama administration to deploy military radar and more unmanned planes.

The head of the Senate’s Homeland Security committee, Conn. Sen. Joe Lieberman, suggested the government should examine whether to require visas of Canadian visitors.

“Our countr y is so focused on the southern border,” said Rep. Candice Miller, R-Michigan, who will chair a hearing about the report today. “At the same time the northern border is essentially wide open.”

Recent drug arrests have highlighted the border’s porousness. In May, a Canadian kingpin confessed to running 2,000 pounds of marijuana a week through the forests of upstate New York. A gang arrested in November smuggled the narcotic painkiller OxyContin. And in December, Canadian officials arrested 29 smugglers on charges of using boats to run tons of marijuana, Ecstasy and methamphetamine across the Great Lakes to Michigan and New York.

President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper signed a Feb. 4 agreement to share more information on trav-

elers and better coordinate cross-border investigations. The Department of Homeland Security has tripled the number of agents on the northern border in recent years and is building a $30 million intelligence-gathering center at a Michigan Air National Guard base.

Some critics say the Canadian threat is overblown, saying the volume of most drugs seized along its border is still a tiny fraction of 1 percent compared to seizures at U.S.Mexico crossings.

Residents complain that increased patrols are scaring away Canadian visitors.

Gulf claims process under fire

By BRIAN SKOLOFF and HARRY R. WEBER Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — President Barack Obama vowed dur ing a White House speech last June that the $20 billion he helped coax out of BP for an oil spill compensation fund would take care of victims “as quickly, as fairly and as transparently as possible.”

Eight months later, that’s not how things look to many people along the Gulf Coast.

Tens of thousands of fishermen, oyster shuckers, business owners, hotel operators and hairdressers still await payment. Many others whose claims have been turned down question the evenhandedness. And without the data to determine who is right, attorneys general and members of Congress question the openness.

An Associated Press review that included interviews with legal experts, government officials and more than 300 Gulf residents found a process beset by red tape and delay, and at the center of it all a fund admin-

istrator whose ties to BP have raised questions about his independence.

Now, the dissatisfaction has Feinberg reached a fever pitch: Lawmakers in Washington are demanding the White House step in, the Louisiana governor and others want a federal judge to intervene, and the people most affected by the Deepwater Horizon disaster are threatening to line the courthouse steps if they don’t get the changes they seek from administrator Kenneth Feinberg.

“A lot of promises were made by Feinberg and President Obama that this would be a very open process, and I just don’t feel that’s the case,” said Rep. Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican.

Feinberg, the Washington lawyer who runs the fund and was lauded for his work overseeing the compensation fund for 9/11 victims, has insisted he is being fair.

He has acknowledged that the system is clogged by the sheer volume of oil spill claims, along with inflated or outlandish requests.

Among them: One person filed a claim for the entire $20 billion, while another asked for $10 billion; a boat captain sought reimbursement for lost income for himself and four deckhands, but it turns out he didn’t have any deckhands; and a fisherman claimed he lost a month on the water, but his boat had a hole in it and was dry-docked even before the spill.

Feinberg recently said he believes the Gulf of Mexico should largely recover from BP’s oil spill by the end of next year, and he doesn’t think the entire $20 billion will be needed to compensate victims. Only half of that should suffice, he said.

“Overall, I think the program has worked well,” Feinberg told the AP. “I think the program has been fairly transparent.”

The fund and Feinberg’s agency, the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, were an extraordinary response to an

extraordinary situation — more than 200 million gallons of oil spewing from a well a mile beneath the Gulf of Mexico, fouling the coastline from Florida to Texas.

The normal course in an oil spill is for the responsible party — in this case BP — to pay claims directly.

BP was doing that until August, when it turned over the process to Feinberg as part of the president’s promise that payments would now be “administered by an impartial, independent third party.”

So far, nearly 490,000 claims have been filed, and roughly half have been turned down. The fund has handed out $3.4 billion to 169,000 claimants. Nearly all the money dispensed so far has been in the form of either emergency payments for short-term losses or onetime checks handed out in exchange for a promise not to sue.

To date only two final settlements for long-term losses — including a $10 million payment to a BP associate the fund refuses to identify — have been paid out.

Judge fines Chevron $8.6 billion in Ecuador

By GONZALO SOLANO and FRANK BAJAK Associated Press QUITO, Ecuador — An Ecuadorean judge ruled Monday in an epic environmental case that Chevron Corp. was responsible for oil drilling contamination in a wide swath of Ecuador’s northern jungle and ordered the oil giant to pay $8.6 billion in damages and cleanup costs.

The amount was far below the $27.3 billion recommended by a court-appointed expert but appeared to be the highest damage

award ever issued in an environmental lawsuit.

But whether the plaintiffs — including indigenous groups who say their hunting and fishing grounds in Amazon River headwaters were decimated by toxic wastewater that also raised the cancer rate — can collect remains to be seen.

In a statement Chevron called the decision “illegitimate and unenforceable” and said it would appeal.

It has long contended it could never get a fair trial in Ecuador and has removed all assets from this politically volatile Andean country,

whose leftist president, Rafael Correa, had voiced support for the plaintiffs.

Chevron, which earned $19.1 billion last year, said it did not believe the judgment “enforceable in any court that observes the rule of law.”

The marathon, high-stakes case, fraught with corporate espionage and geopolitical intrigue, has been winding its way through U.S. and Ecuadorean courts for more than 17 years.

Even Hollywood had a role, with Chevron successfully forcing documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger to surrender outtakes from his docu-

mentary “Crude” about the dispute, a decision upheld by a U.S. appeals court. Those outtakes were used in attempt to show that a plaintiffs’ attorney, Steven Donziger, had both denigrated and unethically influenced Ecuadorean justice.

The plaintiffs’ lead lawyer, Pablo Fajardo, called the 187-page judgment “a great step that we have made toward the crystallization of justice” but added that “we are not completely satisfied” with courtspecified damage award. The plainspoken native of the oil patch told The Associated Press that the plaintiffs would probably appeal.

E-mail: Bell, Calif., officials joked of acting like pigs LOS ANGELES (AP) — The two top officials in the scandal-ridden California city of Bell illegally paid themselves hugely inflated salaries and created a paper trail to hide their actions while joking that they were acting like pigs, according to a document filed in court Monday by the district attorney’s office.

E-mails and other documents from former Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia’s computer will show that beginning in 2005, she and former City Manager Robert Rizzo created phony contracts never approved by the City Council that raised their salaries to “outrageous” levels and made it difficult to determine exactly how much they were being paid, according to the 19-page memorandum from District Attorney Steve Cooley.

What’s more, prosecutors said, when the city began re c e i v i n g s t a t e p u b l i c records requests for the officials’ salaries last year, Rizzo had Mayor Oscar Hernandez sign backdated contracts approving the payments, although Hernandez was not the mayor when the contracts were written.

The memorandum was submitted for a preliminary hearing scheduled later this week to determine if there is sufficient evidence for Rizzo, Spaccia, Hernandez and former Councilman Luis Artiga to stand trial on charges of looting the blue-collar suburb of $5.5 million.

Blast at mall in Kabul kills 2 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber struck Kabul’s first Western-style shopping mall Monday, killing two security guards at the entrance in the second attack in less than a month targeting a site frequented by foreigners and upscale Afghans in the heavily secured capital.

The Ministry of Interior said the bomber detonated his explosives at the gates of the Kabul City Center shopping mall, which also houses the four-star Safi Landmark hotel. Two people were wounded in the blast.

A n A s s o c i a t e d Pre s s reporter at the scene said the building was surrounded by hundreds of Afghan security forces. The blast destroyed the guarded entrance and blew out windows. Several shops nearby also were damaged.

A spokesman for the Taliban, Zabiullah Mujahid, claimed responsibility for the attack in a mobile phone text message sent to reporters.

Calif. wants to stop phones used by likes of Manson

By DON THOMPSON Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California prison officials seized nearly 11,000 cell phones last year, some used to arrange extortions and assaults, others used by the likes of cult killer Charles Manson to connect with the outside world a f t e r m o re t h a n f o u r decades behind bars.

Manson became an unlikely face of the prison cell phone problem after he was caught calling and texting people in California, Florida, New Jersey and British Columbia. He had missed calls from Arkansas, Indiana and Massachusetts on the phone that guards discovered in March 2009, and he was caught with a second phone last month.

Officials have become so outraged at the notion of violent inmates like Manson possessing cell phones that they are trying new ways to strike back. Corrections officials tell The Associated Press that they are preparing to test a system that would capture every cell phone signal from a prison and block unauthorized calls, as California and other states search for technology to stop what has become a growing problem inside prison walls.

California legislators are also considering three prop o s e d changes to state law that would step up Manson enforcement against cell phone violators in prison.

“If the phones didn’t work from behind bars, that would solve a lot of the problems. A lot of them wouldn’t want the phones anymore,” said California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman Terry Thornton.

Prison officials hope the efforts will thwart inmates like Manson, 40 years after he was convicted of killings including the infamous murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others in Los Angeles in 1969.

He obtained two cell phones despite being housed in California’s only Protective Housing Unit, reserved for the most notorious inmates. They have their own exercise yard at Corcoran State Prison, and their meals are cooked by pr ison employees — instead of other inmates — for fear of poisoning.

Yet the 76-year-old Manson has been calling and texting people all over

North America.

“The states and the cities happen to coincide with the locations and cities where I know the old core (Manson) Family members are currently residing,” said Sharon Tate’s sister, Debra Tate, who lives in the Los Angeles area and is the last surviving member of her immediate family. “These people are still able to influence others, I don’t care how old they get.”

Officials will not release the names of the people Manson was communicating with on the phone seized in 2009. They also won’t say where Manson was calling with his second phone as they struggle with the huge volume of cell phone investigations.

Au t h o r i t i e s b e l i e v e Manson received the first phone from a visitor, a typical method of contraband delivery. Guards encounter more creative methods as well, including phones that are punted over prison walls inside soccer balls.

Guards themselves have been accused of smuggling many of the phones. Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Sequeira is concerned Manson may be reaching old Family members and new followers who regularly send him fan mail.

9/11 memorial to have limited access NEW YORK (AP) — The Sept. 11 memorial will open in the World Trade Center’s footprints by the 10th anniversary of the 2001 attacks, but for years afterward access will be limited to a set number of people and mourners will be surrounded on all sides by the noise of construction, the memorial foundation president said Monday.

It will be years before the millions of people who want to visit the center have unfettered access to the memorial site, said Joe Daniels, president of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. Ultimately, visitors will be able to approach the memorial and its green spaces and cobblestoned plazas from all sides. But for years visi-

tors will be surrounded by construction of skyscrapers and a transit hub and may only use one entrance; organizers will observe strict capacity limits for safety reasons, Daniels said.

Preliminary plans call for a limit of 1,500 visitors at a time, with special consideration being given to the relatives of Sept. 11 victims.

Teen shoots his brother at Apple store COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio teen has been charged with shooting his younger brother in the head in front of shoppers after a dispute inside an Apple store.

Columbus police said in a statement Monday that they charged 16-year-old Andrew Kelley with one count of felonious assault in the Saturday night shooting at Easton Town Center.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Kelley has an attorney.

His 15-year-old brother, Andrake Kelley, remains

hospitalized in critical condition.

Police say the shooting in an outdoor area of the shopping center followed some sort of dispute at the mall’s Apple store.

In an unrelated shooing on Monday, a 20-year-old student pulled out a revolver and shot another man in the thumb during an argument on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University.

The campus of 24,660 about 30 miles southeast of Nashville was on alert for about 45 minutes.

Police say Justin Macklin, a MTSU student from Memphis, got into an argument and shot at Austin Morrow of Murfreesboro, wounding the 20-year-old former student.

Ariz. mulls hospital citizenship check PHOENIX (AP) — Republican lawmakers want to widen Arizona’s illegal immigration crackdown with a proposal to require hospitals to check on whether patients are in the country legally, causing outrage among medical professionals who fear becoming de facto immigration agents under the law.

The medical industry ripped the bill Monday as it was scheduled for a hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Doctors envisioned scenarios in which immigrants with contagious diseases such as tuberculosis would stay home from the clinic or hospital and put themselves and the public at a grave health risk.

“This is making us into a police state that will try to catch people when they are sick,” said George Pauk, a retired doctor with an organization called Physicians for a National Health Program. “Do we want to stop sick people from coming in for health care?”

Arizona is the first Legislature to take up such a measure amid a national push in conservative states to crack down on illegal immigration, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Border activist convicted of murders TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The leader of an anti-illegal-immigrant group was convicted Monday in a home invasion robbery that left a 9-year-old girl and her father dead in what prosecutors said was an attempt to steal drug money to fund the group’s operations.

A Tucson jury found Shawna Forde, 42, guilty of murder in the May 2009 killings of Raul Flores, 29, and his daughter Brisenia at their home in Arivaca, a desert community 10 miles north of Mexico.

The jury deliberated for seven hours over two days. Forde was convicted on two counts of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder for the shooting of Flores’ wife and related aggravated assault and robbery counts.

The jury will return to Pima County Superior Court today to decide if the death penalty should be considered.

Forde had pleaded not guilty.

Gunmen kill top police commander MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Gunmen killed the top intelligence officer of northern Nuevo Leon state and then torched his car, one of the boldest attacks security officials in a region where drug-gang violence has besieged Mexico’s wealthiest city.

Homero Salcido Trevino’s body was found in a smoldering car abandoned in downtown Monterrey, the state government said in a statement Monday.

Salcido Trevino was the director of the state’s intelligence and security center, a job he had taken in August. He was shot at least five times, said the statement, which offered no additional details.

The attack had some of the hallmarks of a drug cartel hit, but Nuevo Leon Gov. Rodrigo Medina said investigators had not confirmed that. “It is still premature to tell you it was organized crime,” he said.

Monterrey, the once-peaceful industrial capital of Nuevo Leon and Mexico’s third-largest city, has been traumatized by battles between the Gulf drug cartel and a gang of its former enforcers known as the Zetas.

Wis. site deemed ‘holy’ by Vatican CHAMPION, Wis. (AP) — The Vatican has named a tiny shrine in a small northeast Wisconsin town as a holy site.

The Catholic Church has recognized the chapel in Champion near Green Bay as the location of an official sighting of the Virgin Mary. It is believed to be the only site in the country with that distinction.

Green Bay Bishop David Ricken says the Virgin Mary appeared there three times to Belgium immigrant Adele Brise in 1859. Devotees have since visited the site to pray for miracles.

Ricken started investigating the events and three theological experts soon picked up the work. After two years of poring over letters and documents, experts decided her claims were true. The Vatican validated those results in December.

EMPIRE WEDDING: Newlyweds Stephanie Hull and Air Force Captain John Wu pose for photos on the 86th floor of the Empire State Building in New York on Monday.

■ New York

‘We can only go up ...’

The brides carried lavender roses and the grooms looked proud as 14 contest-winning couples got married Monday at the Empire State Building.

“You are the most beautiful, the smartest and the kindest person I know,” U.S. Army Pfc. Brett Beardon said as he clasped hands with Samantha Belfon and gazed into her eyes.

“I will honor and respect you, laugh and cry with you and cherish you always,” she replied.

The 17th annual Valentine’s Day wedding event at the iconic skyscraper was sponsored by TheKnot.com, a wedding-planning website.

Air Force Capt. Jon Wu and Stephanie Hull, of Louisville, Ky., won the grand prize, which includes a honeymoon in the Bahamas.

“We can only go up from here,” Wu said after he tied the knot with Hull in a sunrise ceremony on the 86th-floor observatory.

Hull, who wore a strapless, creamy white gown with a long train, said she was on “cloud nine.”

Wu proposed to Hull last year by spelling out “will you marry me” in Christmas lights on a lawn outside their apartment building.

The ceremonies for the other winners were held on the 61st floor in a makeshift wedding chapel festooned with lavender drapes.

Couple No. 2 were Sarah-Marie Carpino and George Callahan, two firefighters from Lindenhurst, N.Y., who met on the job.

■ Montpelier, Vt.

Mystery hearts re-appear

Vermont’s state capital is aflutter in hearts again.

In keeping with a mysterious Valentine’s Day tradition, an unknown person or people plaster sheets of paper with red hearts on them all over downtown offices, shops and buildings.

The so-called Valentine’s Bandit started the tradition in Montpelier in 2002.

Each year, residents wake up to find the red hearts affixed to buildings, shop windows and other downtown fixtures.

The “phantom” has his — or her — own Facebook page, dubbed the Montpelier Valentine Phantom Phan Page.

Appreciative fans took to Facebook on Monday. One thanked the Phantom for making her drive to work wonderful.

Opossum to pick Oscars

Heidi, Germany’s beloved cross-eyed opossum, is taking a page from Paul the Octopus’ playbook: The marsupial will attempt to pick this year’s Oscar winners.

Leipzig Zoo Director Joerg Junghold said Heidi will be appearing on the “Jimmy Kimmel Show” alongside the Oscars on Feb. 27. He says Heidi will be filmed in Germany over the next few days for the U.S. show.

People and personalities Prince Harry to be William’s best man LONDON (AP) — Key supporting roles in the royal wedding of the year — if not the decade — were handed out Monday, with Prince Harry named as his brother’s best man and Kate Middleton’s sister Pippa chosen as her maid of honor.

Prince William and his fiancee also named bridesmaids and page boys for the big event, including two 3-year-olds who will be asked to be on their best behavior during the globally televised ceremony.

The announcements by St. James’ Palace made it clear the April 29 wedding at Westminster Abbey will be a family affair that emphasizes the tight bonds between Britain’s youthful princes and between Middleton and her younger sister, the stylish, 27-year-old Pippa Middleton, whose formal name is Philippa.

In the past, royal grooms have usually chosen more than one best man, or supporter as they are sometimes called. But the 28-year-old Prince William has made clear that Prince Harry, 26, offers all the support he needs — so both children of the late Princess Diana will have integral roles in the ceremony.

“It’s unusual to have only just one man,” said Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine.

“All of the queen’s sons — Charles, Andrew, Edward — had two supporters at their wedding.

But obviously William doesn’t feel the need to have more than one supporter and it’s by no means a hard-and-fast rule.”

The recognition of Prince Harry’s key role in his brother’s life is one more step in the redemption of his once-tattered public image.

Harry had been derided as a carrot-topped party boy with questionable taste after he was photographed in 2005 wearing Nazi paraphernalia at a costume party, and after he was disciplined by his father, Prince Charles, for smoking marijuana.

But the prince with a charming boyish smile gained a significant measure of respect recently for his military deployment in Afghanistan and his charity efforts.

Harry’s on-again, off-again relationship with Chelsy Davy has also sparked speculation about a possible second royal British wedding in the not-toodistant future. The official wed-

ding guest list — still a secret — will be closely scrutinized to see if Davy is invited, which would be widely taken as an indication that the relationship is flourishing once again.

Davy, born in Zimbabwe, has divided her time between Africa and Britain, recently leaving London to pursue a career as a lawyer in South Africa.

Since Prince Harry loves to tease his older brother, his toast to the newlyweds is expected to be one of the highlights of the celebration. Will he poke fun at William’s receding hairline? Will he mention other girls who once attracted William’s eye? Stay tuned.

B-movie producer David Friedman dies

ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) — David F. Friedman, the B-movie producer of the 1960s and ’70s who turned out the cult classic “Blood Feast,” died Monday at age 87, his niece said.

DEATHS Gerold Madler Gerold “Jerry” Madler, 66, Baker, Mont., passed away peacefully on Feb. 11, 2011, with his family at his side at his childhood home. Services will be held at 11 a.m.

MST Wednesday, Feb. 16, at American Lutheran Church, Baker, with the Revs. Bruce and Reba Kolasch officiating.

Interment will be in St. John’s Catholic Cemetery with the Rev. Thomas Tobin officiating.

Gerold “Jerry” Madler

Townsend and Daniel (Chandra) Bublitz. Dad was blessed with 17 grandchildren and the grandchildren were blessed with having him; siblings, Alice Arneson and Alvin and Rodney Madler; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jose and Olga; his first wife, Mary; his brothers, Raymond and Larry; his sister, Carol; and his grandson, Jordan.

In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting the American Cancer Society.

Remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at www.stevensonfuneralhome.com.

Thelma Davis Visitation will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. MST today at Stevenson Funeral Home, Baker, with a prayer service at 7 p.m. MST. Gerold “Jerr y” Leroy Madler was born to Jose and Olga (Tronstad) Madler on July 25, 1944, in Baker, Mont.

As a child, he walked to O’Donnell Schoolhouse (eating lard sandwiches that were thawed on the radiator in the schoolhouse). He later attended Baker High School, graduating in 1962.

As a boy, Jerry lived and worked on the farm, gaining a variety of skills including farming the land, milking the cows and doing mechanical repairs. It was in this last field that he made his lifetime career. Be it welding, building from scratch, repairing or rigging, there was nothing Dad could not fix. He would often trade his labor for the things that seemed worthless to others, but he would build, match up or repair until it worked, once even taking a tractor that had burned to the frame and getting it to run. In fact, that same tractor ran well enough that it is the one his own boys learned to farm with, and just bad enough that they learned to fix it as well. Dad left lessons everywhere.

Jerry was united in marriage to Mary Jo Stenglein on Sept. 25, 1965, in Baker.

From this union, five children were born: Richard, Sandra, Robert, Lori and Stephen. The family remained in Baker. During that time, Jerry supported his family with his hands, working for Randash Motors, the Ford Garage, E&E Service, and M&M Service. In 1979, Jerry started his own repair and welding business, Jerry’s Machine Shop, and later, Northside Implement, where he sold Hesston equipment. This business closed in 1986. He later went to work for D&M Water Service and finally, Mitchell’s Oilfield Service as a mechanic, welder, crane operator and dozer operator.

Jerry worked at Mitchell’s until the time of his death.

Jerry had an amazing background, full of knowledge of subjects that one would never guess could be hidden in such a strong man.

In high school, he was a tumbler. He played the clarinet and trumpet in school and later picked up a guitar. Dad loved music — playing it, listening to it, teaching it, even whistling and yodeling. He played his guitar in a few different bands between 1958 and 1970. Jerry also volunteered as an EMT for several years while the kids were younger.

Jerry’s wife, Mary, passed away on July 7, 1994. He later married Bette Bublitz on Oct. 7, 1995. They shared their life on the farm between where Jerry grew up and their place by Willard, raising cows and hay.

Dad had a love for children, guiding, employing and mentoring so many in his life. Having his grandchildren around and sharing stories and experiences with them brought great joy to Dad. Most of all, Dad was a quiet country boy who loved and lived to help other people, regardless of circumstance, time of day or sacrifice. It is just what he did.

Jerry is survived by his wife, Bette; his children, Rick ( Mo n a ) Ma d l e r, Sa n d y (Henry) Lytle, Robert (Sara) Madler, Lori (Phillip) Rusley and Steve (Billie) Madler; and stepchildren, Julie (Robert)

Erna was born Sept. 5, 1921, on a farm north of Zap, to Henry and Margaret (Wiedrich) Pfenning. She was the middle child of a family of nine and grew up on that farm and attended a nearby country school. At a young age, Erna worked for area families, helping with the household duties. Erna attended Bible College in Lemmon, S.D., where she met her husband, Henry Will, whom she married at the Ree Church of God, Ree, N.D., in 1943. In 1947, they moved to Beulah, where they raised their six children and spent the remainder of their lives. Henry, an employee of Knife River Coal Mine, preceded her in death in 1995.

Erna was an active member of the Beulah Church of God serving as a Sunday school teacher, vacation Bible school teacher and youth leader. Erna’s love for her Savior, Jesus Christ, was reflected in her life as she cared for family members and friends. She spent much of her time in prayer for those in need. She was employed by the Beulah Community Nursing Home for about 20 years. Erna enjoyed being part of the German Singers, reading, quilting, embroidering and listening to Gaither videos.

Erna’s children and grandchildren will always remember her delicious German cooking. After suffering a debilitating stroke in 2005, she entered the Knife River Care Center in Beulah, where she remained until her passing.

She is survived by three sons, James ( JoAnn), St. Louis, Mo., Harley (Kathy), Scandia, Minn., and Joel, St. Louis, Mo.; three daughters, Mercedes (Stanley) Campb e l l , B e u l a h , Me rc e l l a (Glenn) Rowe, Loveland, Colo., and Vera (Gerrit) VanBruggen, Topeka, Kan.; nine grandchildren; eight greatgrandchildren; one sister, Olga Margaret Christman, Ozark, Mo.; and one brother and five sisters-in-law, Edward (Erna) Pfenning, Bismarck, Adeline Pfenning and Agnes Will, Bismarck, and Bernice Pfenning and Lucille Pfenning, Beulah.

She was preceded in death by her husband; an infant son, Christian; one grandson, Luke VanBruggen; her brothers and sisters-inlaw, Albert and Ethel, Otto and Lorraine, Reuben, Richard and Art Pfenning; and a sister and brother-inlaw, Bertha and Fred Wentz.

(AP) — Kenneth Mars, a Mel Brooks collaborator who played a Hitler-worshipping playwright in “The Producers” and an earnest police inspector with a malfunctioning artificial arm in “Young Frankenstein,” has died. He was 75.

In a statement Monday, Mars family said the actor died Saturday of pancreatic cancer at his home in Grenada Hills.

In Brooks’ 1968 romp “The Producers,” Mars costarred as Franz Liebkind, a Nazi enthusiast whose play, “Springtime for Hitler,” is the basis for a scheme by two conniving showmen (Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder) to bilk investors by putting on a surefire Broadway flop.

Brooks cast Mars again in 1974’s “Young Frankenstein” as the constable poking around the castle grounds on the trail of mad scientist Wilder’s monster.

His extensive television work featured regular roles on “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Fernwood Tonight” and the 1960s series “He & She.

“Vote it down. This is nothing but a special interest push from the nuts at PETA and fanatical cat lovers. I always thought antiabortion people were insane, that is until I met a couple of cat fanatics.

I’m sorry, but a cat or a dog is not equivalent to a person. These types of laws are often subjectively enforced as well. It’s usually perfectly legal to kill your own pet or some invading animal on your property, yet if some prosecutor thinks you didn’t do the job quickly enough, you face charges.”

“My hat is off to Sue Buchholz and everyone else at the Humane Society who does the dirty job of dealing with the atrocities the rest of us can ignore. Animal abusers are the lowest form of cowardly beings. I don’t think the penalties in this bill are severe enough, but it’s a good start.”

Time for the sandbagging to begin The recent February thaw was cause for opening a temporary sandbagging site in Burleigh County last week. The sun and warm wind began to turn heavy winter snow and ice into water that had no place to go. It’s a sign of things to come, one people should be paying attention to and preparing for.

Fargo began its sandbag operation on Monday. In the Red River Valley, filling sandbags is an art.

Spring flooding from the Red River turns into high drama each spring. Volunteers filled 70,000 sandbags a day last year in the weeks approaching the river crest.

Organizers want to increase that number to 100,000 to 150,000 a day and want to reach a goal of 3 mil-

lion sandbags by mid-March.

The Burleigh County sandbag site at the Missouri Valley Complex (fairgrounds) is temporary. A more sophisticated and efficient site will be opened closer to the actual spring thaw as emergency managers react to flood forecasts and changing weather.

There’s a lot of snow out there.

Bismarck-Mandan has received 54.4 inches of snow so far this winter. The average snow fall for the same time frame is 32.8 inches. We could end up with double the snow of an average winter. This past weekend offered a lesson in how

quickly warm temperatures can turn snow and ice into running water.

People living in the same place for the past three or four years have a good idea of where they are vulnerable to flood water, whether near creeks and streams or low lying areas and pathways for runoff.

Now is the time to figure out where you can get sandbags and sand, check your pumps and develop a plan in case you have high water.

It’s also a time for homeowners to be concerned about how the snowmelt will come off roofs and

Preparations are now under way to deal with spring flooding

yards. There’s an awful lot of snow and ice out there. If you have had a wet basement before and haven’t done anything about it, expect to be wet again.

People and agencies seem more aware about the potential for flooding this winter, recent memory being pretty sharp about damage here and there across the state.

The initial prognostication suggest that in the West, the Little Missouri and Knife rivers will have to move a lot of water. Same for Apple, Beaver and other creeks.

Stock ponds will be quick to fill.

And any river can back up water, including the Missouri, if the ice jams.

If you want to stay dry, it’s time to get ready.

VOICES OF THE PEOPLE Tallying the cost of higher ed

By HEIDI GLEASON Mandan The editorial on the North Dakota University System was misleading, emotive and devoid of facts. The real question: “Is North Dakota getting the best bang for our buck from our higher ed system?”

If we reduced the taxpayer burden, how many jobs would that create and what would our business and entrepreneurs invest in?

Spending and our ability to retain college graduates is the real issue. According to the North Dakota Policy Council, we lost nearly half of our college graduates between 1989 and 2007.

Taxpayers of North Dakota subsidize higher ed, only to see those graduates leave. While the editorial staff pontificates that it’s great a North Dakota college graduate can go to work for 3M alongside foreigners and they’ll “know how to act” — isn’t 3M a Minnesota-based company?

The “Nanny State” has no right to teach us “how to act” — let’s leave that to one’s upbringing and parents.

The NDPC study shows 62 percent of incoming freshmen are nonresident students. My observation, when I was a University of North Dakota student, was the bulk of them are stateside neighbors or from Canada.

Cultural diversity sounds good — but there’s not much difference between a kid from Bemidji and one from Bismarck.

The higher ed system has seen general fund appropriation increase 63 percent and tuition costs increase 36 percent since 2003, yet enrollments have only seen single digit increases during the same period.

The editors laud the Centers of Excellence, yet there are three major problems with the program: ■ It lacks accountability and no real measure to “joba created” based on program cost ■ It represents “central planning,” picking winners and losers in the marketplace and subsidizing some companies at the expense of others, and ■ It violates Article X Section 18 of the North Dakota Constitution, which prohibits government grants, loans or gifts to private businesses.

If our legislators demanded a cost/benefit ratio and stood up to the North Dakota State University System Board of Higher Education, we’d be better off.

No time to give away the store

Gov. Art Link, one of our greatest state leaders, stated in his “When the Landscape is Quiet Again” speech during the coal boom that we need to make sure we preserve North Dakota in a way that our grandchildren would be proud.

forcing individuals to purchase health insurance is unconstitutional.

The North Dakota Legislature has since introduced a bill that would essentially force divorcing couples to attend 10 one-hour counseling sessions as a condition for granting their divorce.

While is it true that the federal government cannot force an individual to purchase services, the state government can apparently live by a different set of rules. This mandate included in SB2367 clearly demonstrates the state’s willingness to force citizens of North Dakota who are divorcing to purchase counseling sessions at their own expense, four of which are required to focus on financial counseling.

If the goal of the state Legislators is to keep couples from divorcing, the bill is likely to accomplish this should one party in a divorce decide not to comply.

If the goal is to get couples to counseling, the bill will likely succeed in making a difficult situation even more difficult by taking away the couples’ choice.

And if the goal is to find ways to effectively co-parent, post-divorce, instead of a shared parenting initiative, for example, the bill does nothing to make that happen either, by putting the focus on financial counseling versus a strong co-parenting plan.

So, really, what legislators who support this bill will do for the citizens of North Dakota is make a difficult divorce even more difficult, prolong an already prolonged process and take away choice.

Bulky budget talk Continued from 1A Oct. 1, still very high by historical benchmarks but moving in the right direction.

The president claims $1.1 trillion in deficit savings over the coming decade for his plan, a 12 percent cut from the federal deficits the administration otherwise projects. But that figure includes almost $650 billion in spending cuts and new transportation revenues the administration won’t specify.

Obama would trade cuts to some domestic programs to pay for increases in education, infrastructure and research as necessary investments that he judges to be important to the country’s competitiveness in a global economy.

But he also raises taxes by $1.6 trillion over the coming decade, much of it from allowing recently renewed tax cuts for families making more than $250,000 a year to expire in two years — he signed a two-year extension of them into law just two months ago — and from curbing their tax deductions for charitable contributions, mortgage interest and state and local tax payments.

Despite his spending cuts and tax increases, the government’s total debt would still mushroom from $14.2 trillion now to almost $21 trillion by 2016. Republicans assailed his blueprint for failing to take the lead on the nation’s daunting fiscal problems.

“People vote for presi-

Delegation says budget needs work WASHINGTON — Both Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., and Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said Monday that President Obama’s budget doesn’t go far enough in cutting the deficit.

Rep. Rick Berg, R-N.D., says the budget spends too much.

Conrad, however, said the budget provides North Dakota with funding in several key areas.

“The budget President Obama released today doesn’t go far enough to address our nation’s deficit and debt,” Hoeven said.

“The right approach is two-fold: First, we need to come together in a bipartisan way to find savings and reduce overall spending, and second, we need to create a pro-growth approach to our economic policy, which means building the kind of legal, tax and regulatory climate that will encourage American business to grow and create jobs,” Hoeven added.

Conrad praised elements of the budget — including investments in the Fargo-Moorhead flood control, renewable energy and veterans care — while saying the fiscal blueprint does not go far enough to bring the national debt and deficits under control.

“The president’s budget gets it about right in the first year.

Even as it moves to cut spending, it continues investments in the critical areas of education, energy, and infrastructure, including the Fargo-Moorhead flood control project,” Conrad said.

Conrad noted the state’s Garrison Diversion water project faces a significant cut.

“We need a much more robust package of deficit and debt reduction over the medium- and long-term that puts everything on the table,” Conrad said.

“The president’s budget proposal spends too much, taxes too much, and borrows too much. North Dakotans have sent a loud message that the Washington way of doing things hasn’t worked, and the president’s budget proposal simply offers more of the same reckless spending that has already driven our country deep into debt,” Berg said. dents because they want leadership,” House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said in an interview. “They expect presidents to take on the greatest challenges facing the country. Well, the biggest crisis we have is the debt, and he’s

doing absolutely nothing to get it under control.”

While Obama’s budget total of $3.7 trillion would be down slightly from this year’s estimated $3.8 trillion, lower war costs and naturally declining stimulus spending are chiefly responsible.

FROM 1A

Agency: Energy Spending: $27.2 billion Percentage Change from 2011: 12.7 percent decrease Discretionary Spending: $29.5 billion ■ Proposes several spending initiatives designed to kick-start the president’s goal for the nation to get 80 percent of its electricity from clean sources by 2035.

■ Provide more than a halfbillion dollars for the Advanced Research Projects AgencyEnergy, which encourages transformational energy research. It would double the number of Energy Innovation Hubs to focus on technologies like battery and energy storage and new energy grid technologies.

■ Calls for $853 million to support nuclear energy, including research and development for technologies like small modular reactors. And it proposes $36 billion in loan guarantees to build new nuclear power plants ■ Cuts in several programs, such as the Office of Fossil Energy, by eliminating the Fuels Program, the Fuel Cells Program, the Oil and Gas Research and Development Program and the Unconventional Fossil Technology Program.

■ Proposes selling $500 million worth of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve.

Agency: Veterans Affairs Spending: $129 billion Percentage Change from

2011: 4.5 percent increase Discretionary Spending: $58.8 billion ■ Provide $208 million in aid to caregivers who are family members of the severely wounded from the recent wars.

It’s part of a law signed last year

by President Barack Obama.

■ Invest $183 million to help jumpstart VA’s effort to reduce its massive claims backlog that’s left veterans waiting months or years for a benefit check by starting to implement a paperless claims system.

■ Invest $939 million to help expand services for homeless veterans through private and public partnerships.

■ Provide $6 billion for programs targeting the mental health needs of veterans, including those with traumatic brain injury.

■ Bring high-speed wireless to rural America, relying on $10 billion during the next several years to develop a national broadband network for public safety agencies and $5 billion to develop wireless broadband networks in rural areas. The administration would also promote exports with more than $500 million for the International Trade Administration.

■ Cut funds for a grant program that helps public broadcasting stations bring educational and cultural programs to the public. It also would cut funds for a program established in 1999 that provides guaranteed loans to steel and iron ore companies.

Agency: Commerce Spending: $10.4 billion.

Percentage Change from 2011: 13.9 percent increase.

Discretionary Spending: $8.8 billion.

■ Boost funds for federal laboratories that promote innovation. The National Institute of Standards and Technology laboratories, which have helped develop image processing, smoke detectors and pollution-control technology, would receive $764 million under the plan, an increase of more than $100 million.

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency Spending: $8.8 billion Percentage Change from 2011: 11.2 percent decrease Discretionary Spending: $9 billion ■ Eliminates an $80 million program that paid for technologies to clean up dirty diesel engines. In a 2009 report to Congress, the EPA highlighted the success of the clean diesel effort, saying that it removed tons of pollution and resulted in massive public health benefits.

■ Cut the EPA’s budget by a third, or $3 billion, and specifically targets the agency’s efforts to reduce the pollution blamed for global warming.

“We will continue our protests until the regime falls,” independent lawmaker Ahmed Hashid said.

Police separated the opposition rally from a hundred government supporters holding pictures of the president.

Bahrain was more violent.

Security forces fired tear gas, rubber bullets and birdshot pellets at thousands of antigovernment protesters heeding calls to unite in a major rally and bring the Arab reform wave to the Gulf for the first time. At least 25 people were injured, and one man died after suffering severe head trauma.

Police later used vans and other vehicles to block main roads into the capital of Manama to prevent a mass gathering that organizers intend-

Continued from 1A ed as an homage to Egypt’s Tahrir Square.

Social media sites have been flooded with calls by an array of political youth groups, rights activists and others to join demonstrations Monday, a symbolic day in Bahrain as the anniversary of the country’s 2002 constitution that brought prodemocracy reforms such as an elected parliament.

But opposition groups seek deeper changes from the country’s ruling dynasty, including transferring more decision-making powers to the parliament and breaking the monarchy’s grip on senior government posts. Bahrain’s majority Shiites — about 70 percent of the population — have long complained of systemic discrimination by the Sunni rulers.

Echo of a revolution the home of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi ahead of the demonstration.

Mousavi and fellow opposition leader Mahdi Karroubi have been under house arrest since last week after they asked the government for permission to hold a rally in support of Egypt’s uprising — which Iran’s leaders have claimed was a modern-day replay of their 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Karroubi and Mousavi, however, have compared the unrest in Egypt and Tunisia with their own struggles.

Mousavi said all region’s revolts aimed at ending the “oppression of the rulers.”

A new U.S. State Department Twitter account in Farsi took a jab at Iran in one of its first messages Sunday, calling on Tehran to “allow people to

enjoy same universal rights to peacefully assemble, demonstrate as in Cairo.”

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton expressed support for the Iranian protesters, saying they “deserve to have the same rights that they saw being played out in Egypt and are par t of their own birthright.”

In Yemen, meanwhile, the protests are about speeding the ouster of the U.S.-allied president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has promised he would step down in 2013.

Monday’s protests mirrored the calls in Egypt and Tunisia against the leaders there who were in power for decades: “The people want the regime to step down.”

Protesters in the tiny Gulf nation of Bahrain are not

looking to topple its monarchy. But their demands are no less lofty: greater political freedom and sweeping changes in how the country is run. The next possible round of demonstrations gives a similar divide.

A coalition in Algeria — human rights activists, unionists, lawyers and others — has called protests Saturday to push for the end of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s 12-year rule. Kuwait’s highly organized opposition, including parliament members, plans gatherings March 8 to demand a wholesale change of cabinet officials, but not the ruling emir.

“We are experiencing a pan-Arab democratic moment of sorts,” said Shadi Hamid, director of research at The Brookings Doha Center

in Qatar. “For opposition groups, it comes down the question of, ‘If not now, when?’”

But he noted that the newfound Arab confidence for change will go in various directions.

“The Arab opposition are using the Egyptian model as a message that anything is possible,” Hamid said. “Then they interpret that into their local context.”

In Yemen, more than 1,000 people, including lawyers in their black courtroom robes, joined a fourth consecutive day of protests in the capital of Sanaa — a day after police attacked anti-government marchers with sticks and daggers. Human Rights Watch said police on Sunday also used stun guns and batons to disperse protesters.

Tribal members sentenced Continued from 1A were removed from the case due to Jordheim being a victim.

On Monday, Kornmann sentenced Reed to nine years in prison and three years of supervised probation for the crimes. The sentence will run concurrent to a sentence Reed already is serving for possession of a firearm and ammunition by a fugitive from justice.

Kornmann sentenced Davis to three years and five months in prison and three years of supervised probation.

According to a statement from the South Dakota U.S. Attorney’s Office, Reed and Davis are members of Little Shell Nation, a “splinter tribe” of the Turtle Mountain Indian tribe of North Dakota.

In May 2009, Reed, who says he is the attorney gener-

al of Little Shell Nation, left a message for Erickson demanding the judge dismiss federal drug cases against two other Little Shell members. Reed said in the message he would require Erickson to appear before Congress if the cases were not dismissed.

In June 2009, Reed left a message for an FBI special agent indicating Erickson would “get the trigger pulled on him.” In court on Monday, Reed said he meant he would “pull the trigger” on filing more paperwork. Soon after the message, Reed was arrested on warrants out of Nevada.

While Reed was in jail in Rugby, Reed and Davis conspired to file false liens of $3.4 million against Hovland and Jordheim. Documents

related to the lien, which was filed online, were recorded as o f f i c i a l re c o rd s i n t h e Recorder of Deeds Office in Washington, D.C. Reed and Davis discussed the filing of the false liens in recorded conversations while Reed was in jail.

Wright said Hovland, who makes $172,000 a year, was denied a credit card and could not co-sign a loan for his son after the lien was filed.

The prosecutor argued for long prison sentences for the two men.

“The government does not believe either one of these defendants have any respect for the law,” Wright said in court on Monday.

According to the statement from the U.S. attorney’s Office, both men were disruptive in court at arraign-

ment before U.S. Magistrate Judge Alice Senechal. They had to be forced to face the judge, and U.S. marshals had to force Reed to remove his hands from his ears.

Wright said Reed was far more disruptive during court proceedings than Davis, but said both men had made numerous frivolous court filings. Kornmann called the filings, in which the men claimed they were not subject to the laws of the United States among other things, “nonsense.”

The judge said the men’s legal arguments were baseless and made little sense. He said they both would have been better served to quit making their motions.

“It’s unfortunate that some people shoot themselves in the foot, and then

reload and shoot themselves four or five more times,” Kornmann said. “But that’s what’s been going on here as well.”

Wright said other things the men wrote in the filings include that the judge was committing treason and that the lawyers involved in the case had violated their oaths of office. Davis also repeatedly said he had no Social Security number and had “renounced” Social Security.

Kornmann ruled the latter declaration amounted to perjury. Davis’ Social Security number was used on the paperwork to file liens against Hovland and Jordheim.

Kornmann said he believes the U.S. government has not always been good to Native American tribes and

has violated numerous treaties over the course of history. However, he told the men that did not justify their actions. The men’s arguments reminded the judge of anti-tax protesters, such as Gordon Kahl.

“We can’t have people taking the law into their own hands,” Kornmann said.

Davis said he would continue to stand up for the Little Shell people, but would choose more peaceful and lawful actions in the future.

His stand-by attorney, Joel Larson, said he has talked to Davis about lobbying Congress or petitioning legislators in the future to get Little Shell Nation recognized as a tribe.

has been on the skids since at least 2004, according to data from the Pew Research Center and the Census.

The Pew survey says marriages are on the decline among all groups, especially low-income couples. In 1960, two-thirds of all 20-somethings were married, Pew found. Only 26 percent were in 2008.

The lure of Las Vegas wedding has long been tied to the state’s streamlined wedding laws. Neither blood tests nor waiting periods are required in the city and marriage licenses can be had between 8 a.m. and midnight.

“We figured since we were coming here for vacation, we

Continued from 1A might as well get married,” said Joe Schiebert, 50, who wed Christina Schiebert, 42, on Valentine’s Day in Las Vegas. The couple was visiting from Oklahoma.

“It’s an easy day to remember,” she said.

That may help explain why other prominent days, such as New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, are among the most popular wedding days in Las Vegas.

The second-most popular are triple digit dates that are supposed to be lucky, say June 6, 2006 or Oct. 10, 2010. This year, Nov. 11 — 11-11-11 — could result in thousands of new Las Vegas marriages, wedding officials said.

I don’t economy and the ebbing interest in marriage.

“The volume is down,” said Joni Moss, a longtime Las Vegas wedding planner and founder of the Nevada Wedding Association, a business group. “The number speaks for itself. And people are just spending less.”

In Nevada, 85 percent of all marriages start in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, and almost five percent of all marriages in the U.S. are held near the Las Vegas Strip’s neon marquees and smoky gambling halls.

Marriages peaked in Clark County in 2004, when 128,250 couples tied the knot. Fewer people said “I do” in each sub-

sequent year.

Local governments, which issue marriage licenses, are feeling the effects.

Clark County made more than $7 million at the peak in 2004. Last year, weddingrelated revenue fell to roughly $5.5 million. Coupled with declining property taxes, the wedding bust is a real bruise, the county says.

“It is a major part of the tourism,” County Clerk Diana Alba said.

To help offset declining revenue, Alba’s office stopped offering 24-hour wedding licenses in 2006, she said.

“The marriage demographic is aging,” she said.

“The baby boomer generation

is all getting old. Marriage goes in and out of fashion and I think right now it is not as fashionable to get married.”

In good years, weddings pump $643 million into the local economy, said Alicia Malone, a spokeswoman with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. About 1 million people visit each year to attend a wedding.

To make up for the wedding downturn, chapels are encouraging long-time couples to renew their vows and promoting commitment ceremonies for gay grooms and brides. Gay marriage is prohibited in Nevada.

At Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, business was up 20

percent in 2010 compared with 2009 partly because of the chapel’s outreach to already married couples, said Brian Mills, general manager.

The chapel offers the kind of wedding frills Las Vegas is famous for: couples can get married by “Alice Cooper,” “Tom Jones” and “Marilyn Monroe,” among other celebrity impersonators.

In the most popular package, the bride can roll down the aisle in a vintage 1964 pink Cadillac driven by an Elvis Presley-lookalike. That package starts at $777.

But there’s only so many ways chapels can try to offset the marriage crash.

Powerful joint pill flying off drug store shelves Clinical trial; participants began to feel noticeable results in just days (UMS) – Imagine a pill that can start helping you get around more easily in just a matter of days.5 Then think of how great it would be for your joints to begin feeling better too.

Well there’s no reason to imagine, a team of scientists has delivered an amazing joint health supplement that’s been clinically shown to improve mobility and joint comfort. 2 Now, after years of development and testing it’s hitting the shelves at all major U.S. pharmacies.

This remarkable joint health pi l l is ca l led Fa st Acti n g Trigosamine®. It has been clinically shown to produce amazing results; 81% of the participants started feeling better just days after taking the recommended dosage and an incredible 100% reported their joints felt better just midway through the 8 week clinical trial.2,3,5 “I’ve never seen relief like this before,” said Dr. Joseph Dietz.1 “Our goal was to formulate Trigosamine so that people would start to feel results quickly, and based on the feedback from consumers along with the clinical data I’d say we hit the bullseye with this powerful pill,” added Dietz.

National drug store shipments are being delivered, but as of today there’s no way to know which stores actually have product on their shelves. “ Unt i l we k now a l l t he shelves are stocked we’ll ship Trigosamine directly to people’s homes. As an added bonus, all local residents who call the Regional Health Hotline at 1-866-941-7632 before the 48-hour deadline expires can also qualify for a significant discount,” said Darla Miller, Distribution Director for the company.

“We’re shipping pills on a firstcome, first-served basis; callers

just have to be sure they give the bonus approval code of TG15758 when they call and we’ll take care of everything for them,” she said.

“We know that people suffering with joint discomfort want Trigosamine, the phones have been ringing like crazy. We strongly recommend that local readers call right away to make sure they get their fair share,” said Miller.

Trigosamine’s formula has a special combination of ingredients that until now have never been blended into a pill. It’s this special mixture that was clinically tested and is responsible for delivering the incredible results.

One of the key ingredients is hyaluronate, which is a building block of “human joint oil” and known by medical professionals as synovial fluid.

This remarkable molecule can absorb up to 1000 times its own weight in water helping to lubricate the joints which reduces friction while acting as a “shock absorber” allowing for effortless comfortable motion.5 “Synovial fluid is part of what allows young people to be highly active without getting sore joints.

But as we age we produce less of this fluid which can force bones and joints to grind together causing nagging discomfort,” said Dr. Dietz.

“This remarkable combination of ingredients is what makes Trigosamine work so well. It really helps people to move more freely and with greater flexibility,” said Dietz.5 Trigosamine’s powerful results are all supported by a recently completed randomized, doubleblind placebo controlled clinical study which is considered to be the “gold standard” for joint health supplements.

How Fast Acting

N PROOF THAT IT WORKS: Dr. Philip Howren was so astounded by Fast Acting Trigosamine’s® clinical results that he said; “Yes, I am thoroughly impressed with the clinical data, in fact I now take the pill myself to get the joint relief I need. It’s my number one recommendation to anyone who suffers with joint discomfort,” added Dr. Howren.4 one of the participants that took this amazing supplement reported an improvement in their joint comfort. The data also shows that their joint comfort just kept getting better the entire time they were taking Trigosamine during clinical study.2,5 On the other hand, the clinical participants that were taking the placebo experienced much different results. Those taking the placebo developed increased joint discomfort and soreness during the clinical study, which is the exact opposite of what happened to participants taking the Fast Acting Trigosamine pills. 2 “For participants to get this type of relief is simply amazing,” said Dr. Joe Dietz.

“In all my years of clinical research, I’ve never seen that type of a response before. This powerful supplement is simply remarkable for those suffering with sore

joints,” he added.

The tough part now will be how to get it.

“National pharmacy shipments are happening daily, but as of right now there’s no way to know which drug stores have it and which ones don’t,” said Darla Miller.

Works

(Actual Size) Fast Acting Trigosamine combines three powerful compounds to quickly improve joint comfort.5 1. HYALURONATE-13: One tiny molecule of this remarkable compound can hold an amazing 1,000 times its weight in water. This allows naturally occurring hyaluronate to bind water, making the joints extremely slippery allowing them to slide smoothly over one another.2,5 2. GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE-15: Review studies show glucosamine maintains healthy cartilage in the joints by inhibiting joint destroying enzymes. The compound also builds up naturally present amounts in the blood stream used to build healthy cartilage.5 3. RAPIDFLEX FORMULA-61: The patented ingredients in RapidFLEX improve overall joint performance and one ingredient increases the speed in which nutrients are absorbed.5 N HEALTHY JOINT: A Diagnostic x-ray reveals a human knee joint that has the proper amount of synovial fluid to lubricate the joint and act as a comfortable shock absorber.

Clinical strength diet pill delivers 5 times more weight loss Drug store sales soar; clinical study data confirms results (UMS) – Over 10 million doses have already been shipped to dieters so far; and sales are expected to climb even higher for the diet pill called Apatrim®.

“We knew we had a great product, but it’s even exceeded our expectations,” said Ken Geis, Manager of Call Center Operations.

“People just keep placing orders, it’s been pretty amazing,” he said.

There are some very good reasons for this diet supplement’s remarkable success.

The results from the clinical trial were very impressive. Participants taking Apatrim’s active ingredient as directed lost an average of 5 times more weight than those taking a placebo during the 4-week U.S. study.1,3 These results were achieved without changing the participant’s daily diet or exercise routine.1,4 While no diet pill works for everyone, an amazing 100% of the participants taking Apatrim as directed either lost weight or inches off of their waistline during the 4 week clinical study. Some participants experienced great results, losing as much as 8 lbs and up to 2 inches off their waist.1,3,4 The U.S. clinical study was conducted in Los Angeles; the study included healthy, overweight individuals between the ages of 31 and 73. The caloric intake and level of exercise was not

disclosed.

The participants were instructed not to change the food they were eating and not to add any exercise. They were specifically told not to change their daily routine; just take two pills 30 minutes before lunch and dinner.

Apatrim’s active ingredient has a known ability to help control hunger pangs, this allows people to eat the foods they want and always seem to be craving; because they’ll just want to eat less.4 Industry researchers believe that Apatrim works by suppressing a person’s appetite.4 “By suppressing their appetite, dieters consume fewer calories which can lead to weight

loss,” said Dr. Joseph Dietz, Director of Health Science, Research & Development for PatentHEALTH. “But consumers should always keep in mind that there is no substitute for proper diet and exercise when it comes to losing weight.”

Professionals in the weight loss and fitness industries also agree that Apatrim is the real thing.

Mark Loy, a personal trainer, has had some of his clients use Apatrim with amazing success. 2 “I heard about Apatrim so I checked out the facts then decided to try it as a part of my training program,” Loy said.

“It’s really helped some of my clients to control their eating. I’ve seen people get unbelievable results while taking Apatrim,” said

Loy. “Sign me up, I’m a believer.”

Dr. Joseph Dietz was impressed with the quality of the clinical trials as well as the U.S. patent.

“When I read over the clinical results, the U.S. patent and all of the other scientific support I immediately knew we needed to use this weight loss compound,” said Dietz.

“The results are real; Apatrim is a great product that’s been shown to help people lose weight.”

All of the big retail pharmacies including CVS/pharmacy have placed orders for Apatrim.

But to make it easier for people to get it now, the company has set up a Direct Order Hotline for the next 48 hours.

Starting at 8:00 am today, all

consumers have to do is call 1-866-964-2349 and ask for Dept.

AP11201; orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

“For those people who call the order line to have Apatrim shipped directly to them right now, we’ll guarantee they’ll get product and they can also qualify for a 33% discount,” said Ken Geis.

“But this discount will only be available through the order hotline for the next 48 hours,” he said.

So for those who choose not to call or miss the deadline you may have to pay more for Apatrim or possibly run the risk of not finding it at the drug store. N On the web : www.Apatrim.com

Where to get it: 1. IMMEDIATE HOME DELIVERY: For the next 48 hours call the Apatrim National Order Center at 1-866-964-2349 and ask for Dept. AP11201 (ask about the local readers discount*).

Don’t look State forecast: $47M in revenue growth for quick Lawmakers say it likely won’t change next two-year budget change post-revolt

By DALE WETZEL Associated Press

By EDWARD LOTTERMAN Events in Tunisia and Egypt support an old observation that people are more likely to revolt against an oppressive government when levels of living are getting better than when they are at rock bottom.

This phenomenon of a “revolution of rising expectations” was accepted wisdom when I first encountered it 40 years ago, but it meshes better with contemporary microeconomic theory that Lotterman allows for human quirkiness than it did with economists’ long-held view of human nature as being strictly rational in all decisionmaking.

The absence of both perfect information and cold calculation is one reason why it is so difficult to predict just when people will rise up against dictators who seem firmly entrenched in power and how things will end up.

Popular revolts against hated regimes are complex in their origins and in the dynamics of how they play out.

Economic factors such as poverty, unemployment, rising food prices and glaring income inequalities usually play important roles. But so do senses of injured dignity, anger at repeated humiliations and the simple human desire to be free. These are especially strong when information about the better conditions of other peoples becomes widely known.

However, except in novels like Alexandre Dumas’ “The Queen’s Necklace” or Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables,” revolts seldom entail the most downtrodden in society finally snapping at the inhuman conditions they must endure. The impetus usually comes from people with some education and at least a minor stake in the order of things. Yes, they may be outraged at the lot of the least fortunate, but they often are a few steps above destitution themselves. And the snapping point often comes when a chance for upward mobility is stifled.

That certainly was the case in Tunisia, where 26-year-old Mohamed Bouazizi’s self-immolation touched off the protests that brought down the regime.

Bouazizi had a college degree, no less, but was trying to make a living selling fruits and vegetables in the street. It was when police confiscated his stock because he did not have the required license that he made his outraged statement.

Indeed, Tunisia has long had higher levels of education, health and income than most of its North African neighbors. It long had the greatest apparent civil peace. And while outside commentators remark on its widespread poverty, Egypt’s economy had been growing at 5 percent to 6 percent over the past few years. This is below levels hit by China, Korea or Taiwan at their strongest but well above the average for most Arab countries and well above Egypt’s own sluggishness over several decades.

Yes, it seemed to many that an economic elite was capturing the growth that did occur and that the middle and lower classes benefited little. And yes, the policy “reforms” that fostered such growth and were lauded by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund included reductions in food subsidies and in make-work employment for university graduates. But on the whole, the economic situation for most levels of Egyptian society was at least marginally better Continued on 6B

North Dakota’s expected tax collections have grown almost $47 million in only three months, but lawmakers said Monday they do not expect the increase will influence the final shape of the state government’s next two-year budget.

“I would say it probably

doesn’t change anything with what we’re trying to do at all,” said Rep. Jeff Delzer, R-Underwood, the chairman of the North Dakota House’s Appropriations Committee. “It’s a pretty small number for what we have.”

Gov. Jack Dalrymple has proposed a $9.3 billion spending plan that includes almost $3.3 billion

in state general fund spending, and the Legislature’s final 2011-13 budget plan is likely to be in the same neighborhood.

North Dakota’s general fund is financed mostly by taxes on sales, income and energy. The rest includes federal aid and state taxes for specific programs, such as North Dakota’s 23-centsa-gallon gasoline tax,

which is reserved mostly for road and bridge construction and repairs.

“When you’re talking $3.2 billion worth of revenue, $40 million doesn’t make that much difference,” said Rep. Al Carlson, R-Fargo, the House majority leader. “It just helps you balance the books.”

Analysts compile information from North Dako-

ta’s Tax Department, budget office and the economic consultancy Moody’s Analytics to estimate the state’s tax collections for the next two years and gauge the health of North Dakota’s economy.

An initial set of revenue estimates was completed in November, in time for Dalrymple to write his Continued on 6B

Providing care in a disaster

By SARA KINCAID Bismarck Tribune This spring will test a new evacuation plan for long-term care facilities in the state.

Seven communities are at risk of flooding this spring, all of which have nursing homes and other long-term care centers. The North Dakota Long Term Care Association created a standard procedure for nursing homes to evacuate in an emergency.

Lessons from the 2009 flood were used in creating the plan. It includes keeping an accurate count of available beds in the state, setting up transportation contracts to make it easier to get residents to new locations, and bags and identification bracelets that will help keep track of residents and make sure their needs not overlooked.

The communites at risk of flooding are Fargo, Lisbon, LaMo u r e , H a z e n , V a l l e y C i t y, Jamestown and Linton. Certain residents will get priority in placement because not all facilities can accommodate their particular health needs. They would include people getting dialysis or bariatric treatment.

The advance planning is being done so that if a community needs to evacuate, it will be ready. For instance, an evacuation decision must to be made prior to flooding and if a facility is not planning to evacuate, it meet standards for staying open so it does not put the health of its residents at risk.

Some things didn’t work well in 2009, such as transporting residents by airplane. Instead, the facilities will use buses, either owned by the sending or receiving facility or available through a bus company

At right are Sharon Klein, left, director of social services, and Carlotta Miller, director of resident services. that can install conversion kits for the school buses to accommodate stretchers or wheelchairs.

Officials found little consistency on how much medication or clothing residents took with them.

“Some took a day’s worth, while others took a week’s worth of medications,” North dakota Long Term Care Association Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Kris Magstadt said.

The plan affects about 2,000 residents, though all seven communi-

ties are not likely to flood at the same time There are 500 beds available in the state, so facilities would need waivers to exceed their capacity, association Director Shelly Peterson said.

Missouri Slope Care Center in Bismarck took in 10 residents in 2009.

“We took as many extra as we physically had beds for,” said Carlotta Miller, director of residential services.

The center took its own facility vehicle out to the airport to pick up residents, who had beds in confer-

ence rooms, the activity room and other locations where beds would fit. They were there for about two weeks.

This spring, if necessary, the center will be able to take 10 residents again, and will put the beds in the same location, Missouri Slope Director Robert Thompson said.

“It’s great that we’re getting together early,” Thompson said. “It will go a lot smoother than before.

Last time, about all they could do is grab a pillowcase.”

Man pleads not guilty in standoff School plan Charges against Glenn Lovgren include terrorizing

By JENNY MICHAEL Bismarck Tribune A man shot by police during a standoff has pleaded not guilty to two felonies related to accusations he threatened officers and illegally possessed a firearm.

Park board to split arena upgrade costs

By LEANN ECKROTH Bismarck Tribune The Mandan Park Board agreed Monday to split half the $400,000 in costs to upgrade the All Seasons Arena near the high school.

Parks and Recreation Director Cole Higlin said the park district would front the entire cost from its general operating funds, and the Mandan Hockey Club could repay its half through annual installments.

The work would not start until April 2012, during the arena off-season.

The park district did not fund any capital improvements for this year’s budget to help build that fund up, Higlin said.

“The cost estimates we have are

roof replacements at $150,000 to $175,000. Refrigeration upgrades are $50,000 to $75,000, and new dasher boards are around $150,000,” he said.

Jerry Zachmeier, president of the Mandan Hockey Club, was confident the club could fulfill its match.“We committed to an amount we’re very comfortable with,” he said.

The hockey club and park district will prioritize the needs of the facility, he said. “We have the safety of the kids in mind. That’s what’s important,” Zachmeier said.

In related action, the park board approved paying about $11,400 to Dakota Refrigeration for two compressors for the ice arena. One will

be used to replace the one that failed; a second is available on standby because a fourth compressor is aging.

The board awarded $2,5000 from its matching grant program to the Bismarck Mandan Stock Car Association to help pay for a new air conditioner, countertops, a new light pole and public address system for its concession area, and it awarded the Mandan Horse and Saddle Club $867 in the grant money to help that group pay for a chute and a wireless hand switch.

Representatives from the Mahlum Goodhart firm gave the park district a clean audit for 2009.

The next board meeting was rescheduled to March 9.

approved

By SARA KINCAID Bismarck Tribune Money decided the scope of the Wachter Middle School renovation.

Architect Jeff Hysjulien of JLG Architects presented four options at the Bismarck School Board meeting on Monday. The costs of the options ranged from $3 million to $5.1 million.

“I tend to like Option 2, but I like the price of 4B,” Board President Lawrence King said.

His sentiments were echoed by the other board members. The 4B option, which the board approved, turns the existing auditorium into a cafeteria and performance space, moves the kitchen by the cafeteria and turns the existing cafeteria into a fitness room. It also adds four classrooms onto the north end of the building, two classrooms per floor.

Additionally, the project will replace lockers, upgrade the existing science lab, address ventilation issues in the administrative area and fix an issue with a rest room in the special education area.

The Wachter community preferred Option 2, which costs about $4 million. That would build new classrooms next to the existing auditorium space and renovate the band and choir area into science classrooms. It also Continued on 6B

Minot couple charged in child death MINOT (AP) — Minot police said two people were charged with murder Monday in the death of a 19-monthold boy.

Police identified the pair as 20-year-old Cassondra Ayala and 32-year-old Anthony Robinson.

Police were called to a Minot residence Friday night because a child was not breathing.

The boy was taken to a hospital and Ayala and Robinson were subsequently charged with child abuse.

Police Lt. Jason Sundbakken said the charges were amended to murder after police learned early Monday morning that the boy had died.

Sundbakken would not disclose the boy’s injuries. He said an autopsy was planned today.

House nixes out-of-state college bill The House voted down a bill that would have required North Dakota’s colleges and universities to give half the money they spend on out of state students back to the state’s coffers.

House Bill 1445, sponsored by Rep. Mark Dosch, R-Bismarck, would have returned more than $22 million to the state’s coffers over the next biennium as the university system kicked back funding for the roughly 18,000 out of state students.

The bill was given a “do not pass” recommendation by the Education Committee. Dosch said it was not only responsible with taxpayers dollars but would help establish scholarship funding with the returned dollars.

“Our colleges and universities were established to educate our own kids,” Dosch said.

The bill was killed, 55-38.

Anti-bullying bills being condensed A North Dakota House committee is finishing its version of legislation intended to deter bullying in schools.

Three House measures are being condensed into one bill.

It is similar to a measure that the Senate approved last week.

The House measure says the North Dakota School Boards Association has to develop an anti-bullying policy as a model for local schools.

The Senate’s bill would have North Dakota’s school superintendent develop the model bill. Both proposals say schools would have to adopt an anti-bullying policy by July 2012.

The House bill says schools must decide policies for reporting, investigating and punishing cases of bullying.

School districts would also need to offer programs on bullying prevention.

The bill is HB1465.

Bismarck outdoor rinks closing The Bismarck Park District is closing all outdoor skating and hockey rinks for the season due to slushy conditions from the recent snowmelt.

A Monday afternoon announcement said all rinks and warming houses will be closed immediately.

The district’s sledding hill at Jaycee Centennial Park is still available for sledding, but warmer temperatures cut the available snow.

Public indoor skating is still available every Sunday through March 6.

Skating hours are from from 2:30 to 5. p.m at VFW Sports Center, 1200 N. Washington St., and from 6 to 8 pm at Schaumberg Arena, 221 Reno Ave. Kara Haff, recreational specialist for the Mandan Park District, said all five of the city’s outdoor rinks will remain open.

“It looks like we will be closing the warming house at Legion Park this week,” she said Monday afternoon. “They can still skate at Legion Park. There are still some smooth parts.”

Fargo prepares to fight the river

By DAVE KOLPACK Associated Press FARGO — Volunteers shoveled heaps of sand and c a re f u l l y m a n e u v e re d around humming machinery Monday inside a warehouse dubbed “Sandbag Central” in Fargo, where officials hope to pile up 3 million sandbags as the eastern North Dakota city prepares for a third major flood in as many years.

Efforts are starting early to prepare for flooding along the Red River in Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn. The National Weather Service predicts that spring snow melt will help swell the river over its flood stage, possibly breaking the record set in 2009, when floods caused an estimated $100 million in damage.

Businesses and homeowners scrambled to prepare the past two years — school officials even canceled classes so students could help fill sandbags. But this year, city officials are hoping the early startup will spread out the workload, ease flood fatigue and keep most students in class.

“We think this will allow everybody to avoid that crisis mode,” said Br uce Grubb, a city employee in his third year of directing operations at the warehouse.

Unlike the last two years, most students aren’t getting out of school to help fill

More than 20 inmates from the Cass County jail help at the sandbag filling machine on the first day of sandbagging operations on Monday in Fargo, sandbags. Instead, the city asked businesses to commit to help early even though the river isn’t likely to crest for at least six weeks.

Microsoft Corp., one of the city’s largest employers with about 900 workers, plans to give its people 16 hours of paid time to help and will shuttle employees back and forth.

More than 100 people kicked off the effort at 8 a.m.

Monday, including nearly two dozen minimum-security inmates from the Cass County jail clad in orange jail clothing. They worked alongside volunteers who were greeted by inflatable palm trees, a spread of food and drinks and music.

said Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney, who worked with the inmates. “This is their community too. They wanted to do their part to help.”

Although some inmates could get time shaved from their sentences, many are due to be released soon, including Brian Johnston, who expected to be out “any day now” on drunken driving sentence.

“Rather than sitting around doing nothing, wasting time, I get to help the community and save some houses,” said Johnston, whose uncle in West Fargo had major flooding on his property last year.

Laney didn’t mind the change of pace. Wearing jeans, a stocking cap and a short-sleeved T-shirt over a long-sleeved shirt, he joked

with one of his deputies that the county had changed their uniforms. But he noted the importance of the work.

In 2009, the river was above flood stage for a record 61 days. About 100 homes in the area were damaged, and thousands of people were evacuated. The flood costs were estimated to be $100 million. Last year’s storm wasn’t nearly as severe, but forecasters say there’s about a 50 percent chance this year could be worse than 2010, and about a 20 percent chance the river could swell past its 2009 level.

“You know you have to do it. Are people tired of fighting floods? Absolutely.

But we have to be ready,” Laney said.

Most of the workers were directed to three sandbag filling machines called “spiders,” each with 12 funnels and capable of filling 5,000 bags an hour. But others were handed a shovel.

One volunteer, Ryan Skarka, drove more than 50 miles from Detroit Lakes, Minn., and took a vacation day from work to fill sandbags. He said he owes something to local residents, because thousands of them helped tornado victims last summer in Wadena, Minn., where his parents lost their garage and their house roof to the storm.

“It always feels good to help someone who needs it, or is going to need it,” Skarka said.

GLADSTONE (AP) — A suspect who authorities say escaped from a police squad car after being arrested on a domestic assault charge late Friday is back in custody.

Stark County authorities say Jose Garza Jr. turned himself in Sunday morning. Sheriff Clarence Tuhy said the investigation is ongoing but the squad car might have been unlocked.

Fishing tournament has no fish ALEXANDRIA, Minn. (AP) — Thousands of anglers turned out for the 11th annual Alexandria Ice Fishing Challenge , but the fish stayed away.

About 2,200 anglers came to Lake Agnes in Alexandria Saturday for what’s billed as Minnesota’s second-largest ice fishing tournament. Remarkably, no one caught a fish during the three-hour contest. Co-chairman Eddie Reif said, “Unfortunately, they just didn’t bite.”

Is family obligated to tell new wife about past?

Dear Annie: My 19-yearold daughter, “Nadia,” dated a sweet guy for three years.

They broke up when he moved to Hawaii to “see the world.” For three years, he dated no one else and expected Nadia to do the same.

However, after 18 months of separation, she decided to enjoy her life.

A year ago, they rekindled their relationship over the phone and decided to get married. When “Mr. Hawaii” found out she had dated someone else in his absence, he abruptly called it off, once again breaking her heart. He then asked her to wait for him to get his head together.

Apparently, he was questioning whether he might be gay.

This time, she said no. With our encouragement, she con-

Uncommon form of shingles needs time to run its course

BRIDGE

By PHILLIP ALDER Franklin Pierce Adams, a columnist and wit best known for his newspaper column, “The Conning Tower,” and his appearances as a panelist on radio’s “Information Please,” said, “I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.”

In bridge, we often learn something that leads to another conclusion — as in this deal. South was in two spades. West led the heart ace and followed with a second heart. East took that trick with his king, cashed the ace-king of clubs and played a third club to dummy’s queen. How did declarer continue?

After East’s opening bid of one heart was passed around to North, he made a takeout double, promising short hearts and length in the other three suits. East rebid two hearts to show his sixth heart and extra values.

South was happy to compete with a two-spade bid. West was tempted to bid three hearts, but he let the prevailing vulnerability dissuade him. (The curious may like to work out how NorthSouth can defeat three hearts. It is easy after a club lead, but harder otherwise.)

As West had shown up with four points (the heart ace), but passed his partner’s

We are sure this poor girl has no clue her new husband was still fanning the flames with Nadia, let alone his sexuality issues. And apparently, his family doesn’t know he’s married.

Do we have an obligation to tell his family and his new wife, or is this a keep-itzipped situation? We don’t want to hurt anyone. — Treading Water in the Pacific Dear Treading: You don’t know the circumstances of this marriage or even if it’s true. It is not your place to inform his parents or wife. We know you want to do the right thing and prevent a catastrophe, but frankly, it will be hurtful no matter what you say, and it won’t change a

opening bid, East was marked with the diamond queen. South drew two rounds of trumps, cashed dummy’s diamond ace, and played a low diamond toward his hand. When the queen popped up, declarer conceded just five tricks: one spade, two hearts and two clubs.

Sometimes a pass can be more informative than a bid.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I’ve been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. I’ve been treated with prednisone and antiviral drugs. I ask every doctor I’ve seen, “What can I do to be proactive?” The answer is always, “Nothing, only time.” I understand that, but what can I do to hasten healing?

Massage, physical therapy, acupuncture, anything?

Each doctor says I can do whatever I want but nothing is going to help. Isn’t there anything I can do?

DEAR READER: Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when the facial nerve to one of the ears becomes infected by the shingles/chickenpox virus.

The primary symptoms are a painful red rash with blisters in, on and around one ear associated with facial weakness or paralysis on the same side. For some, the rash or the weakness may occur before the other, and rarely for some, a rash will never present. Other symptoms may include hearing loss, change in or loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, ear pain and difficulty closing one eye.

Complications can include eye damage owing to improper eye closure

DR. PETER GOTT

because of facial paralysis or weakness; permanent hearing loss and facial weakness; and postherpetic neuralgia (pain caused by damaged nerves).

Tre a t m e n t i n c l u d e s antiviral drugs, steroids and pain relievers. If vertigo is a problem, anti-anxiety drugs may be beneficial. Home remedies include over-thecounter pain relievers and cool, wet compresses. If closing the eye is difficult, try using moisturizing eyedrops and taping the eyelid shut at night to prevent drying and damage.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of any effective alternative treatments that will speed healing. The virus has to run its course. Even with antiviral medication, some damage will be done, and only time will tell whether it’s permanent. I suggest you try whatever alternatives you like and keep a journal

DEAR DR. GOTT: You recently wrote an article about why petroleumbased products aren’t supposed to be used in the nose. My doctor told me to use Vaseline to keep my nostrils moist to prevent nosebleeds because I live in a dry climate and am prone. What

am I supposed to do?

DEAR READER: Since printing that article, I have received several requests for reprints and/or clarification, so here goes. If used in the nostrils over a long period of time, petroleum-based products can cause a type of pneumonia or pneumonitis.

As the product warms, it becomes more liquid and particles can drip down the throat and be inhaled into the lungs. These particles can accumulate over time.

For some, it carries no symptoms; for others, it may cause a mild fever, weight loss and lung “crackles.”

Symptoms may worsen the longer the product is used.

Treatment is to avoid the product and allow the body to slowly remove the substances. There have been some anecdotal reports of long-term corticosteroid use being beneficial, but nothing is concrete.

Higher ed nominee rejected by committee

By DALE WETZEL Associated Press The newest member of North Dakota’s Board of Higher Education is in jeopardy of becoming the first in 30 years to be denied confirmation in the state Senate.

A four-member Senate review panel voted 3-1 on Monday to recommend that the full North Dakota Senate reject Kirsten Diederich, of Fargo, who is a biology professor at Concordia College in neighboring Moorhead, Minn.

Diederich did not respond Monday to telephone and e-mail messages seeking comment. She has served on the board since July, when then-Gov. John Hoeven appointed her to succeed Sue Andrews.

Sen. Randy Christmann, R-Hazen, the chairman of the review board and a frequent critic of North Dakota’s university system, voted to recommend that Diederich’s nomination be rejected, as did Sens. Joe Miller, R-Park River, and Richard Marcellais, D-Belcourt.

S e n . Te r r y Wa n z e k , R-Jamestown, voted to support Diederich’s confirmat i o n . Wa n ze k s a i d Diederich’s interview “wasn’t real dynamic,� but “I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.�

Diederich must be confirmed by the North Dakota Senate to continue her fouryear term on the board, which oversees North Dakota’s university system. “She is well qualified, a very nice lady,� Christmann said of Diederich. “But I, myself, am looking for change in the university system, and I don’t think that she seems to be a person who agrees with me that we really need to do some major changes in that system.�

Business not taking recyclables

By CHRISTOPHER BJORKE Bismarck Tribune A Bismarck business has stopped taking aluminum cans and other material for recycling at its facility.

Waste Management no longer accepts recyclable trash at its 310 Enterprise St. location, but residents can drop off their material at several bins around town and some other businesses, said Galen Bren, who handles the city’s recycling services.

Bren said Waste Management stopped accepting material around the beginning of the year.

The Tribune was referred to spokesmen for the Houston-based company, but they didn’t respond to a phone message late Monday.

Bren said his department had received several inquiries about area recycling services since Waste Management ended the service. “We’ve had an abundance of calls in the last month,� he said. “It’s just an adjustment for the public.�

The city markets its collections to other recyclers and its program has not been affected by the discontinuation of Waste Management’s service, Bren said.

City bins accept aluminum and tin cans, corrugated cardboard, newspapers and certain plastic bottles. Paper, junk mail and magazines can be dropped off at Dan’s Supermarket at 3101 N. 11th St. and at Cashwise Foods at 1144 E. Bismarck Expressway.

The city’s website provides a complete list of recycling sites at www.bismarck. org/index.aspx?NID176.

Judge approves Yellowstone bison slaughter

By MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. — A federal judge on Monday denied a request from wildlife advocates to stop the planned slaughter of hundreds of wild bison from Yellowstone National Park that were captured as they migrated into Montana.

In a 72-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Charles Lovell in Helena wrote that while the slaughter of bison may be “distasteful,� it is a “time-honored� method of controlling a disease carried by many of the animals.

Plaintiffs’ attorney Summer Nelson with the Western Watersheds Project in Missoula said she would appeal Lovell’s ruling to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

She argued that fewer cattle operations in the vicinity of the park should result in more room for the animals to roam, rendering the periodic slaughters of the animals unnecessary.

An estimated 525 bison are being held in corrals along the border of the snowed-in park after trying to leave in recent weeks in search of food at lower elevations.

The animals are generally prohibited in Montana under a federal-state agreement meant to protect livestock against the reproductive disease brucellosis.

So far, 217 of the captured animals have tested positive for exposure to the disease.

Those will be first up for slaughter. Park officials have said the remaining bison

could be killed as well if the corrals at Stephens Creek near Gardiner are overwhelmed as animals continue to pour out of Yellowstone.

There was no immediate word on when shipments of bison to slaughter might start.

Park officials have repeatedly denied media access to Stephens Creek, citing public safety, and have closed to the public a large area surrounding the corrals.

Yellowstone spokesman Al Nash said Monday that park administrators were reviewing Lovell’s ruling.

The ruling came in response to a restraining order request from several environmental and American Indian groups.

The judge also sided with

He wrote that there had been steady, if slow, progress

in trying to establish new habitat for the animals outside the park. He pointed to past slaughters, which have removed more than 3,000 bison over the last decade, as evidence the park’s bison herds could withstand another culling.

L e g i s l a t o r s a re s t i l l wrestling with proposals to raise spending dramatically, particularly on North Dakota’s roads; cut individual and corporate income taxes; and set aside money for future local property tax subsidies.

“There’s a lot yet to be decided,” said Rep. Lee Kaldor, D-Mayville, the assis-

tant House minority leader.

“If you look at all the spending measures, and all of the other revenue reductions that are on the table, right now this looks like a haystack with straws poking in many different directions.”

Dalrymple, who is a former chairman of the North Dakota House’ Appropriations Committee, said the news was reassuring.

Post-revolt than a decade ago.

The tragedy is that while pre-revolt conditions often are outrageous and the economic situation of many dire, the immediate aftermath of deposing some tyrant like Hosni Mubarak usually involves the situation getting worse rather than better.

Except in the minds of some economic theorists, there are huge transaction costs in shifting from one political and economic regime to another. Moreover, uncertainty is a disincentive not only to investment for the future but also to everyday business activity. These cut national production of goods and services and hence make it harder for most households to fulfill their own needs and wants.

State forecast budget recommendations to the 2011 Legislature, which began in January.

Monday’s estimates provide a fresh set of numbers, although they only include three months’ worth of new data.

The estimates predict North Dakota’s treasury will collect $3.02 billion by June 30, an increase of $42.6 million from November’s forecast. For the 2011-13 budget period, which begins July 1, the amount of expected revenue rose $4.2 million, to almost $3.28 billion.

“It was a good, positive reflection of how our economy has been,” said Sen. Raymon Holmberg, R-Grand Forks, the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

The $46.8 million does not include reserve funds that are expected to carry healthy balances during the next two-year budget cycle.

A fund for surplus oil tax collections should have $232 million in reserves when the 2011-13 period ends, estimates say. A “budget stabilization fund,” which can be tapped when tax collections fall short of

Mubarak has cut into some of the most vital parts of Egypt’s economy, including tourism and Suez Canal tolls.

The fault is not of those who desire freedom or at least the end to an oppressive regime. It is the fault of those who dominated for so long. But they have much at stake, in terms of money as well as political power.

When such favored groups fall from power, they often are willing, like Samson, to pull down the temple with them.

Major revolutions often have some element of inevitability, and they usually take years to play themselves out. Czechoslovakia’s Velvet Revolution of 1989 was an extreme exception. Countries like South Korea or Taiwan, where non-elected govern-

Continued from 1B ments that ruled for decades themselves choose to initiate peaceful transitions, are worthy of emulation.

But don’t expect these in the Arab world right now, even if Turkey seems to be a case where a non-Arab but Moslem-majority nation pulled off something similar.

People in the United States often overemphasize the power and influence of our nation in foreign events, both for good and for ill. Events are in the saddle now in Egypt and Tunisia and perhaps in several other countries.

Hope that things turn out well, but recognize that this now is out of anyone’s control.

not want to harm anyone inside the mobile home. At approximately 12:15 a.m. on Jan. 5, Lovgren came out of the home and pointed a gun at officers, police said. Law enforcement officers shot him, and he was taken to Medcenter One. Two Bismarck police officers who were involved in the incident were placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure after a shooting. Lt. Mike Wardzinski identified the officers on Monday as Officer Tim Bleth and Sgt. Jason Stugelmeyer.

The state Bureau of Criminal Investigation investigated the shooting to determine whether the use of deadly force was appropriate, and McLean County State’s Attorney Ladd Erickson reviewed the information for the Burleigh County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Burleigh County State’s Attorney Richard Riha asked

Stenehjem to decide if the use of deadly force was justified under the the circumstances.

“The facts show that the police officers had a reasonable belief that their actions were necessary to protect other law enforcement officers or civilians from death or serious injury,” Stenehjem said. “Eyewitness testimony and the weight of the evidence support their belief that the use of force was reasonable and necessary. It is my conclusion that in discharging their weapons, the officers’ actions were both lawful and justified.”

Wardzinski said Bleth and Stugelmeyer have returned to regular duty.

Court documents say Lovgren has multiple convictions for felony offenses, including theft of a motor vehicle, theft of property and escape.

He made a court appearance on a bench warrant in the escape case on Jan. 3,

c o u r t d o c u m e n t s s a y.

Burleigh County Detention Center records show Lovgren was arrested on Jan. 1 for failing to comply with sentencing on the escape charge and was released by court order two days later.

Lovgren was charged with the latest offenses on Jan. 5.

He was in the hospital for more than two weeks due to injuries from the standoff.

He has remained in the Burleigh County Detention Center in lieu of $100,000 cash bond since Jan. 25.

Each Class C felony carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and fines of up to $5,000. The terrorizing charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence upon conviction of two years in prison due to allegations Lovgren used a gun.

School board included replacing the vinyl tile gym floor with wood and adding bleachers — an alternative in all the proposed options.

“It’s not as intrusive,” Principal Brian Beehler said about the renovation in Option 2. “I can see us functioning with the construction, even during the school year. Obviously, there is some disruption. The others are pretty intrusive.”

The board, however, was concerned about how to pay for Option 2 because some state legislation could require the district to pay more money into the Teachers Fund for Retirement and the board will be negotiating a new teacher contract. Officials also did not want to

commit all the district building fund money, minus the amount spent on loan repayments, to the renovation.

“If the board wanted to proceed, it is feasible, but if a cooling tower is down, there is no reserve available in the building fund,” to pay to fix it, business manager Ed Gerhardt said.

Other options to pay for the construction include using money out of the general fund or taking out a loan.

The general fund is not an option because of additional costs that will be incurred through contract negotiations, board member Paul Govig said.

A loan could cover the construction cost, but that

Continued from 1B did not interest the board, either.

The construction time frame would cover two fiscal years, which gives the building fund some breathing room. Drawings will be made to be put out to bid this summer, then construction would take 12 to 16 months.

In other board news, the board approved a contract to offer to new superintendent Tamara Uselman. The contract is for two years and offers a salary of $190,000 for the first year.

That was the salary advertised with the position. Uselman will have to approve, before the board gives final approval to her contract. She would start July 1.

NEWS Laughing gas returns for labor CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Labor pain is nothing to laugh at. Yet. The use of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, during childbirth fell out of favor in the United States decades ago, and just two hospitals — one in San Francisco and one in Seattle — still offer it. But interest in returning the dentist office staple to the delivery room is growing: Respected hospitals including DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center plan to start offering it, the federal government is reviewing it, and after a long hiatus, the equipment needed to administer it is expected to hit the market soon.

Lori Rowell, due to give birth to her second child in June, is intrigued by the option.

“I would definitely think about it, and read about and talk to my doctor about it,” said Rowell, 36, of Concord.

“It is nice to know that it doesn’t affect the baby, because that’s what scares me about an epidural.”

Though nitrous oxide is commonly used for labor pain relief in Canada, Great Britain and other countries, it’s been all but abandoned in the United States in favor of other options such as epidurals, said Judith Bishop a certified nurse midwife at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center and leader in the effort to reintroduce nitrous oxide for labor.

With an epidural, medication to block pain seeps through a tube into space surrounding the spinal cord. Because it must be administered by an anesthesiologist, an epidural is significantly more expensive than nitrous oxide. Both are covered by insurance.

“In this country, most people when they hear about nitrous, they think it sounds pretty retro, that it sounds very old-fashioned and they’re sure there’s something bad or dangerous about it and we must’ve chosen to eliminate it.

But I think we eliminated it because we went for the more specialized, highertech options,” said Bishop, who was to be among the speakers Monday at a conference for New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine hospital officials.

She and other advocates of reintroducing nitrous oxide emphasize that it is no silver bullet — it “takes the edge off” pain rather than eliminates it. But they say it should be among the options offered to women, particularly those who give birth at small or rural hospitals that lack roundthe-clock anesthesiologists. Laughing gas is easy for women to selfadminister, takes effect quickly, and can be used late in labor.

Eating more fiber may extend life CHICAGO (AP) — Eat more fiber and you just may live longer.

That’s the message from the largest study of its kind to find a link between high-fiber diets and lower risks of death, not only from heart disease but from infectious and respiratory illnesses as well.

The government study also ties fiber with a lower risk of cancer deaths in men, but not women, possibly because men are more likely to die from cancers related to diet, like cancers of the esophagus. And it finds the overall benefit to be strongest for diets high in fiber from grains.

Most Americans aren’t getting enough roughage in their diets. The average American eats only about 15 grams of fiber each day, much less than the current daily recommendation of 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men, or 14 grams per 1,000 calories. For example, a slice of whole wheat bread contains 2 to 4 grams of fiber.

In the new study, the people who met the guidelines were less likely to die during a nine-year follow-up period.

The men and women who ate the highest amount of fiber were 22 percent less likely to die from any cause compared to those who ate the lowest amount, said lead author Dr. Yikyung Park of the National Cancer Institute.

The study, appearing in Monday’s Archives of Internal Medicine, included more than 388,000 adults, ages 50 to 71, who participated in a diet and health study conducted by the National Institutes of Health and AARP. They filled out a questionnaire in 1995 or 1996 about their eating habits. It asked them to estimate how often they ate 124 food items. After nine years, more than 31,000 of the participants had died. National records were used to find out who died and the cause of death.

Helping the brain heal

Associated Press

Dr. Jordan Grafman in West Orange, N.J., the director of the Traumatic Brain Injury Research Laboratory at the Kessler Foundation Research Center.

Giffords’ doctors hope her brain will rewire itself “Many of them have lived quite successful lives, having families and kids and working at jobs ... living, in some sense, an ordinary life.”

By MALCOLM RITTER AP Science Writer NEW YORK — Compared to a sleek new laptop, that three-pound mass of fatty tissue called the brain may not look like much. But when it’s injured, it adapts and rewires its circuits in new ways.

That’s the kind of flexibility that doctors and rehabilitation specialists hope to encourage in Gabrielle Giffords, the brain-injured Arizona congresswoman.

Details about her recovery have been thin. But members of her staff say she recently began speaking for the first time since the Jan. 8 attack by a gunman in Tucson. Brain injury patients who regain speech typically begin to do that about four to six weeks after the injury, experts say.

Still, recovery for the 40-year-old Giffords will be a long, tough journey, as it is for anyone with a significant brain injury. Patients can make remarkable progress.

But experts caution that they shouldn’t expect to return to exactly the way they were before.

Too little has been revealed and it’s too early to say if Giffords might be able to return to her job in Congress. One expert questioned whether that would be the best thing for her to do.

Most people with such injuries have some level of impairment for the rest of their lives.

Scientists are still unraveling just how the brain works to recover from traumatic injury and how to help it repair as much as possible.

They’re dealing with an organ about the consistency of cold porridge. It contains maybe 100 billion densely packed nerve cells, each of which is connected to 1,000 or so other nerve cells, called neurons. Those connections form circuits that are the foundation of the brain’s activity.

Brain injuries can disrupt that in several ways. A car accident can smash a head, stretching and tearing brain tissue across a wide

Jordan Grafman, director of the Traumatic Brain Injury Research Laboratory, on brain injuries

Kim Towns, who suffered a gunshot wound to the head 23 years ago, poses at her home in Chesapeake, Va., on Feb. 10. area. A penetrating injury like a bullet causes more localized damage, but the force of the impact can also damage neuron connections some distance away from the projectile’s path.

Either way, brain injury produces an “utter quagmire” of specific disruptions in brain functioning that doctors have only blunt tools to fix, said Dr. Jonathan Fellus, director of the brain injury program at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in West Orange, N.J. What all this disruption means to the patient depends on what brain circuits have been affected.

People might have trouble reasoning, finding words, remembering things, organizing priorities, recognizing faces, understanding what’s said to them, or doing multiple things at once. Or they could have problems walking, reaching, getting dressed or feeding themselves.

So how can the brain get better?

In some cases, brain cells that were impaired or stunned but not killed by the initial injury get back on track. Another surprising factor is that the brain’s wiring is not fixed. In response to an injury, neurons can alter their patterns of connections.

For example, if the damaged part of the brain is small enough, new connections might bring in neighboring neurons to stand in

for dead ones. Or existing connections can be strengthened, allowing neurons to work together more efficiently than they had to before.

Rewiring can bring in a whole different brain circuit to compensate for a damaged one.

So a person who used to find his way to work just by instinct may come to rely on memorizing the route more formally. Or somebody who struggles to find words may emphasize facial expressions more than before. A patient who has trouble remembering what he sees may compensate by telling himself what he’s looking at, bringing in his verbal memory circuitry.

Patients may develop compensation strategies on their own, though more typically they’re guided by doctors and therapists, said Dr. Bruce Dobkin, director of the neurologic rehabilitation and research program at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Fellus compares brain rewiring after injury to taking back roads when an interstate highway is damaged. It’s a less efficient way to get a job done, he said, and the added effort may help explain why brain injury patients often feel tired or simply fail to accomplish some tasks.

“They have to pace themselves, they have to do things in a more organized way,” staying more focused

on a task like memorizing a phone number than they had to before, he said.

That’s certainly the case with Kim Towns, 47, of Chesapeake, Va., even 23 years after she was shot in the forehead.

“I can’t really concentrate like I used to. I get tired really easily, I get depressed,” she said. Rather than doing several things at once, “I have to really just sit down and concentrate on one particular subject.”

In any case, brain rewiring — scientists call it plasticity — is driven by what a patient is learning and experiencing, said Jordan Grafman, director of the Traumatic Brain Injury Research Laboratory at the Kessler Foundation Research Center in West Orange.

That’s why patients should get into rehabilitation as soon as possible, where “people are paid to stimulate you,” providing skilled expertise as well as respite for exhausted caregivers, he said.

The time course of recovery can be long. It’s most dramatic in the first year, with probably more than a third of patients who survive severe injuries showing improvement by the end of that time, said Dr. Alan Faden of the University of Maryland.

Grafman said progress often slows in the second six months of the first year, becoming perhaps not evident to those who see the patient every day, but noticeable to someone who drops by only every three months.

During the second year, gains are usually minimal but can sometimes be significant, said Grafman. After that, many people show no further improvement, but some do, he said.

The course of recovery depends on things like age — with patients from teens to 40 recovering better than those over 50 to 60 — and how motivated, young and healthy a patient is, the size and location of the injury and even a genetic predisposition to recovery.

But for the most part, brain injury patients will always have some degree of impairment, Grafman said.

That’s not necessarily a recipe for misery; it just means people need to adjust, said Grafman, who has studied Vietnam veterans with brain injuries for 30 years.

“I’m always impressed ... at seeing how many of them have lived quite successful lives, having families and kids and working at jobs,” he said. They “wind up living, in some sense, an ordinary life.”

Giffords might have to make the same kind of adjustment.

Without knowing details of her progress it’s impossible to say whether she could return to Congress, Grafman said. A supportive staff might make it possible, he said, but “would it be the best thing for her?”

Impairment can add stress for those who strive to return to a high-pressure job, Grafman said.

And over a long period, that added stress could harm their mental abilities even more. Persistent stress kills neurons, he said, and can interfere with memory and decision-making beyond the long-term effects of the brain injury itself.

As it stands now, “Giffords will have strengths that remain. That’s what you want to play into,” he said, even if it leads to a productive life outside the halls of Congress.

Where you live drives wait for liver transplants

By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON — Doctors dropped another bomb soon after telling Matthew Rosiello it was time for a liver transplant: The 21-year-old isn’t likely to get one any time soon in his home state of New York. Consider traveling to Ohio, they advised, where the wait’s a lot shorter.

Where you live plays a big role in how sick you are, and how long you wait, before getting a scarce liver transplant — if you survive long enough. Now the network that runs the U.S. organ transplant system is exploring steps to ease some of the disparities. Critics who want more nationwide sharing of donated livers fear any changes won’t help enough.

“I’ll go anywhere for my son. This is his life,” says Matthew’s mother, Randy Rosiello of New York City, who has begun researching waiting lists from Ohio to North Carolina as the family debates its next step.

But she doesn’t think her son should have to leave his doctors at New York’s Mount Sinai Medical Center, or undergo the stress of travel.

Plus, she worries, “if I have to go, I’m putting my family into financial ruin.”

The nation has a severe shortage of donated livers.

More than 16,000 people are awaiting a liver transplant, and just 6,300 a year get one.

More than 1,400 others die waiting each year.

Since 2002, the sickest patients have been ranked atop waiting lists to receive a liver from a deceased donor.

They’re given a so-called MELD score, based on laboratory tests, that predicts their risk of death. Rising scores move them up on the waiting list. The change by

all accounts has greatly improved the system, which once was based instead on time spent waiting.

Here’s the lingering trouble: Patients with liver failure and would-be donors are not distributed evenly around the country. And the nation is divided into 11 transplant regions that have wide variations in patients and available organs, between regions and within them.

A donated liver is offered first to the sickest patients in the local transplant center, and if there’s no good match, then to the sickest patients throughout that transplant region. If there’s still no good match, the liver can go to someone who’s not as sick — rather than to someone sicker in the next transplant region.

Patients can shop around for shorter lines, even get on more than one list, if they have the means to get to a far-away hospital within hours of a liver becoming available. For instance, Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ 2009 liver transplant was in Tennessee, where the wait was much shorter than back home in California.

But Mount Sinai liver transplant chief Dr. Sander Florman says that system isn’t fair to those who can’t afford to maximize their chances.

“If a patient can get on an airplane and go to Florida, why can’t the liver get on an airplane and come to New York?” he asks.

For patients like Matthew Rosiello, the news that New Yorkers wait longer for a liver complicates already agonizing treatment choices.

When he was a baby, Rosiello had complex liver surgery for a rare birth defect, biliary atresia, and more surgery a few years ago that post-

Study: Harmful medical devices get OK too easily CHICAGO (AP) — Most medical devices recalled in recent years because of deaths or life-threatening problems were cleared for approval under less stringent regulations that don’t require human testing, an analysis found.

The report comes as the Food and Drug Administration is reviewing sweeping proposals to revise the medical device approval process.

The studied devices fell under rules for products similar to ones on the market, not regulations for brand new ones, which call for more extensive testing.

Thousands of deaths or serious medical problems occurred in patients with the recalled devices, which included external heart defibrillators, brain shunts and implanted pumps that deliver cancer drugs, the researchers said.

Device makers say the new data are flawed and c o n f l i c t w i t h p re v i o u s reports.

poned a transplant. But now repeated liver infections and other complications have put him in the hospital three times in about a month, require IV care and forced him to quit college. Still, his MELD score is low, something doctors warn could change rapidly — but that also means he should consider a place with a shorter wait.

“He’s f r i g h t e n e d t o death,” says Randy Rosiello as the family peruses an Internet database — the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients — that compares wait times and success rates.

How big are the differences? The United Network for Organ Sharing says that in three regions stretching from Ohio down through Tennessee and on to Florida, adults receiving new livers in the past year had median MELD scores of 23 to 24. But in the New York and western Vermont region, liver recipients were far sicker, with a median score of 32. Only the region that includes California fared worse, with 37.

Within regions, rates of people who die on the waiting list or become too sick to transplant range from fewer than 10 percent to more than 25 percent each year.

So UNOS’ liver committee is seeking feedback from transplant centers about options to improve, in hopes of proposing changes later this year.

Topping the list: If a liver isn’t a good match to the sickest patients within one region — as measured by a MELD of 15 or more — offer it nationwide before giving it to a less sick local patient.

New York transplant centers suggest splitting the country into four or five “super regions” where the sickest patients in the entire zone would get first dibs.

170 sickened at conference LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County health officials are trying to identify an illness that hit 170 people at a global conference that included a party at the Playboy Mansion.

The Department of Public Health says Monday that some kind of respiratory infection is suspected of causing fever, chills and other symptoms among people who attended the DOMAINfest Global Conference on Internet business earlier this month.

The conference and related parties were held in Santa Monica and other locations.

Included was a Feb. 3 fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills.

Reading fiction can be beneficial Some people think that fiction is a waste of time, except for young children.

Yet, psychologists point out that fiction has an important role for all ages.

Reading nonfiction or factual material informs the reader of what is happening or what has happened; fiction, on the other hand, makes the reader consider what could happen or could have happened.

In a recent article in Psychology Today, Keith Oatley, Ph.D., described fiction as “simulations that run on minds.” A reader of fiction is able to try almost anything with absolutely no risk. Fiction allows the reader to experiment with ideas and feelings while remaining at a safe distance.

Readers of fiction are able to take part in situations and have experiences that they would normally never have. They are able to learn without doing the real thing, just like a pilot learns how to fly a plane on a flight simulator. Fiction does not simply copy real life; it can actually intensify emotions and be more exciting than real life.

Researchers have found that people who read more fiction understand other people better and have more empathy for others. In experiments, people showed an increase in social reasoning after reading a short story compared to reading an informational article.

One study found that when preschool children listened to stories and watched movies, they became more understanding of other people. It is interesting that television did not have the same effect.

Another study showed that people’s personalities changed a small degree when reading a piece of literature. In addition, they found that the more emotional the reading material, the more change that took place. One current study

PAM KRUEGER

has even shown that the same areas of the brain are used when reading a fictional story as when trying to understand another person’s thoughts.

In the current information age, few would dispute the necessity of learning facts. Yet, the world also has become connected like never before, and the importance of understanding people from all countries, cultures, races and religions also has become a necessity. People have to be able to think and feel like others who have different experiences and feelings.

A wonderful way to do this is by reading fiction.

Fiction stories are usually about people and how they interact with others. While reading fiction, the reader can mentally practice interaction with other people and can learn to understand them in a simulation of real life.

Fiction also has been found to reduce stress. By escaping from the real world in a fictional book, the reader can forget current troubles and focus on someone and something else. A reader can be relaxed by the beauty and rhythm of words as they read.

In fact, in the United

Kingdom, the National Health System introduced a program in 2000 that encourages mental health patients to read (especially fiction) as an alternative to drugs, in order to increase well-being. When people feel too absorbed in their own troubles, it may be time to read a fictional book and think of someone else.

Fiction also develops imagination because the reader has to visualize the story line, the setting and the characters. Readers create their own movies in their minds. In addition, fiction increases knowledge of the English language, since writers use different styles and structure, and it increases vocabulary. Of course, fiction is also just plain old great entertainment.

Reading fiction is a beneficial part of growing up and

becoming an adult. Children read about how other people feel and make decisions. They learn about themselves and gain confidence that others feel similar to them.

Fiction is not only for children though; adults benefit from the same experiences. Readers can learn from someone else and avoid their mistakes; they can confirm their own feelings and feel less isolated.

Even though fiction is important, readers should not ignore nonfiction. A combination of all types of reading is probably the best idea.

Don’t miss the DockDogs February 18-20 at the Bismarck Civic Center! ®

As seen on ABC, ESPN and the Outdoor Channel!

First ever appearance in Bismarck!

Beginners welcome! Train with the pros. Anyone with a dog and a ball or toy can compete!

To register, go to bismarcksportshow/dockdogs or register onsite!

Extreme Vertical Extreme Vertical is a competition where the dog is allotted 60 seconds to jump in the air while attempting to remove the “Bumper” from an Extender Arm, which is placed 8 feet from the edge of the dock.

Each round the bumper will be raised 2” until the dog that jumps the highest takes home the prize!

Big Air® BIG AIR® is the original and most popular DockDogs® competition. Each dog competes to see who can jump the farthest distance.

The Judge will evaluate all jumps electronically using digital technology developed by ESPN. The official jump distance will be measured, and when it’s all said and done, the dog that jumps the farthest takes home the crown!

Speed Retrieve Speed Retrieve has nothing to do with the dog’s ability to jump but rather its speed.

Each dog is racing against the clock and upon entering the water, must swim to the end of a 40 foot pool and retrieve the DockDogs® designated object in order to complete their timed run. The dog that removes the object the fastest wins!

Skyhawks soar to No. 4 Shiloh wins District 9 title for 4th year in row

Broncos’ Thomas under the knife

By CINDY PETERSON Bismarck Tribune The Shiloh Christian boys basketball team wasted no time in going for the jugular.

The No. 2-seeded Skyhawks started strong and the top-seeded Solen Sioux couldn’t recover in the championship game of the District 9 tournament. The Skyhawks won their fourth straight district title with a 66-61 victory over the Sioux on Monday night at the Mandan gym.

Shiloh will be the No. 1seeded team from District 9 for the Region 5 tournament. Solen will be seeded No. 2.

A fast getaway played a key role in helping Shiloh defeat Solen.

“The quick start was really effective because once they get ahead, they just don’t stop,” Shiloh center Matt Rask said. “It was good that we got ahead, and we got to stop them at the beginning and have a good streak. We had the momentum until the second half.”

The Skyhawks opened the contest on fire, hitting their first five shots to claim a 13-0 lead with 4:33 to go in the first quarter. Aaron Hultstrand played a huge role in the quick start by hitting three of his four 3pointers during the stretch.

Klint Miller drained two mid-range jumpers from the left baseline.

“Solen, they play so much on emotion,” Shiloh coach Mike Dwyer said.

“They’re so frenetic. They never let up so it took them out of that frenetic pace they play. It was key for our kids to believe that they could get this done.”

3 still missed Earnhardt’s loss felt 10 years later

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — After 462 races, a sad-sack losing streak that had spanned 16 long years, Michael Waltrip’s first trip to Victory Lane — at the Daytona 500 no less — should have been the happiest moment of his life. It was, for 15 or so minutes, anyway.

Then longtime friend Ken Schrader stopped by to speak privately to Waltrip. Schrader leaned in and whispered the news that brought the party to

Broncos wideout Demaryius Thomas could miss all of next season.

a crashing halt: The accident on the last lap was bad, and Dale Earnhardt was in trouble.

Waltrip at first didn’t seem to hear. So Schrader again leaned in to Waltrip’s ear. The smile faded from Waltrip’s face, the light in his eyes darkened, and he spent the next hours simply going through the motions of a victory celebration.

When it was time for the customary champagne toast, he declined and headed for his first moments alone with his wife since his victory.

“II said to her, ‘He’s going to be OK, right?’”

Waltrip recalled. “I was just hoping she was going to say he’s hurt really bad.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.

— Denver Broncos wide receiver Demar yius Thomas underwent surgery Monday on his torn Achilles’ tendon, an injury he sustained during offseason workouts in Atlanta last week.

Thomas’ recovery will take at least six months and, depending on the severity of the injury, he could miss all of next season.

“Heading to surgery this morning.. everyone keep me in prAyers that it goes well,” Thomas tweeted Monday morning.

Earlier, he tweeted about his mother and grandmother, who have been incarcerated on drug charges since he was 12: “Only if i had my mother and granny here with me, stuff would be so different.”

Thomas had a tough year after leaving Georgia Tech following his junior season.

He fractured his left foot in pre-draft workouts but was still the first receiver selected in the draft when the Broncos chose him at No. 22, three spots ahead of their other first-round pick, quarterback Tim Tebow.

Thomas was just starting to flash his athleticism and mobility, using his 6foot-3, 230-pound frame to outjump defenders when he re-injured his surgically repaired foot early in training camp and didn’t return until after the opener.

Woods is fined Tiger apologizes for spitting

Associated Press

The 10-year anniversary of Dale Earnhardt’s death is Friday.

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) — Tiger Woods apologized after he was fined an undisclosed sum by the European Tour on Monday for spitting on the green during the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic on Sunday.

The tour said in a statement that tournament director Mike Stewart reviewed the matter and “feels there has been a breach of the tour code of conduct.”

“The Euro Tour is right — it was inconsiderate to spit like that and I know better,” Woods said on Twitter. “Just wasn’t thinking and want to say I’m sorry.”

The tour would not

give the amount of the fine but it is probably between $400 and $16,000 for a m i n o r Woods breach.

Woods spit on the 12th hole after missing a par putt on his way to a 3-over 75. He began the final day one shot off the lead but never recovered after making two bogeys in his first three holes.

The 14-time major winner, now ranked No. 3, tied for 20th place at 4under 284.

District 9

Dale Sr.

Continued from 1D Solen turned the ball over on its first four possessions and missed its first three shots. Shiloh led 2112 after the first stop and 36-22 at halftime.

Dwyer was expecting a run from Solen, and that’s exactly what happened.

Solen guards Kendall Lester and Dustyn Luger drained back-to-back 3s to close a 10-2 run with 3:05 to play in the third quarter.

The Sioux sliced Shiloh’s lead to 43-37.

“Their defense is so a c t i v e ,” D w y e r s a i d .

“They’ve got those quick hands, and they are so quick. They were putting a lot of pressure on us. We got a little uncomposed there for a couple minutes.

We called a timeout and our kids regrouped.”

Solen came as close as three points when center Jay Martin pulled off a nifty spin move in the paint with 7:45 to go in the fourth quarter to narrow the deficit to 47-44.

But Shiloh responded.

Carson Anderson and Zane Miller sank back-toback 3-pointers to give the Skyhawks a 53-44 lead with 6:51 to play. Solen never recovered.

“Throughout the year we were always the ones to come out and dominate in the first quarter,” Solen coach Darrel Iron Shield. “ We really didn’t put together four good quarters all year. That first quarter just got away from us.

We battled back, but it was just unfortunate we couldn’t get the shots to go. We threw away some key turnovers that really hurt us.”

Shiloh combined to make 3-pointers. Hultstrand netted four. Zane Miller and Anderson had two apiece and Klint Miller had one. Hultstrand led Shiloh with 17 points. Rask added 16 with 12 coming in the second half. Zane Miller finished with 14 points.

Solen was led in scoring

Continued from 1D “She said, ‘No, he’s dead.’”

Earnhardt was the toughest man to ever climb in a stock car, the face of American racing and the blue collar everyman the fans could relate to. His death — in a crash that insiders viewed as routine — stunned NASCAR, raising questions about mortality, safety and moving on.

The 10-year anniversary of Earnhardt’s fatal accident falls Friday, just two days before the season-opening Daytona 500, NASCAR’s version of the Super Bowl.

This season, the past has a chokehold on the season’s biggest race. The typical excitement and optimism that comes with each new year have been overshadowed by memories of The Intimidator, whose death still very much defines NASCAR and those he left behind.

There’s Dale Earnhardt Jr., the prodigal son forced out of his father’s shadow the day Dale Sr. died. Savvy marketing had made the introverted and sometimes socially awkward kid a star, but it didn’t prepare him for the crush of attention from his father’s adoring fans. He’s been stoic in facing the anniversary questions, but it’s clear he wants everyone to move on.

Richard Childress, the team owner who never wanted to return to a race track after the loss of his best friend, has tried so hard to block the memories of that day. The topic still makes him obviously uncomfortable, though he understands the public interest that still accompanies Earnhardt.

Then there’s Waltrip, who talks freely about the friend who gave him his big break at the journeyman age of 38. He found some peace this past year in writing the memoir released last month “In the Blink of an Eye.” For all, Earnhardt’s death remains a raw, open wound.

No matter the approach to the anniversary, the reality is the same: Ever ything changed the day Earnhardt died — for the people who loved him and for the sport

Broncos’ Demaryius Thomas He had a spectacular debut in Week 2, catching eight passes for 97 yards and a touchdown against Seattle, but he never tallied more than three catches in any game the rest of the season.

He was knocked out of one game with a concussion while returning a kickoff and was also sidelined for the final five weeks of the season with a sprained ankle.

Thomas played in 10 games, starting twice and finishing with 22 receptions for 283 yards and two scores. He also returned 16

kicks for a 24.9yard average.

He showed enough promise, as did fellow rookie Eric Decker, for new coach John Fox to proclaim upon his hiring that the wide receiver corps led

by Pro Bowler Brandon Lloyd and Jabar Gaffney was the area that needed the least attention during the team’s massive makeover.

That’s changed.

Continued from 1D First, slot receiver Eddie Royal underwent a hip operation that will keep him out at least until late May, and now Thomas will be sidelined at least through August and maybe much longer.

Royal’s surgery briefly opened a window for Thomas to get more playing time, but he got hurt Wednesday while working out in Atlanta, where he lives in the offseason.

The Broncos might now have to consider drafting a wide receiver in April.

Associated Press

Dale Earnhardt, left, died in this crash on Feb. 18, 2001. he left behind — and it has taken every bit of the last decade to recover. ❑ ❑ ❑ Dale Earnhardt Jr. was 26, starting his second full year at NASCAR’s highest level, when his father died. Although he’d won two championships in NASCAR’s second-tier series, two 2000 Cup races as a rookie with Dale Earnhardt Inc., and was being marketed like a rock star by Budweiser, he was very much under his father’s thumb.

Big E expected a lot of Junior. Although there was always a father’s love, he wasn’t exactly easy on his namesake. Life as the son of the seven-time champion was a constant lesson in where to go, what to do and how to be more professional.

When Earnhardt died, his son had to figure it out on his own. But there was no newfound freedom. Instead he inherited the responsibility of safeguarding his father’s legacy, ensuring the health of the family race team and satisfying the rabid fan base he’d suddenly inherited.

And of course, he still had to live up to his last name.

As NASCAR rolled into Rockingham, N.C., five days after Earnhardt’s death, his son didn’t want to be there.

“After that happened, I never wanted to see another race track or race car again.

We went to Rockingham, and I went because I felt responsible to be there,” he said.

When the green flag fell, Earnhardt Jr. crashed before finishing even a single lap.

“I was embarrassed. It was

embarrassing because it was on TV and in front of all the fans,” he said. “I really had no interest in being there. It was embarrassing to wreck a car, tore that car up, but it didn’t break my heart any worse than it was already broken. I couldn’t feel any worse than I was already feeling.”

It took him about a week to accept his new life and its tremendous responsibilities.

“I got to thinking, ‘Well, what else am I going to do? My dad gave me this opportunity, and I would be a fool to squander it,’” he recalled.

It hasn’t been an easy ride.

There have been flashes of success, and one brief flirtation, in 2004, at winning a Cup championship. But it has been pocked by a fragmented relationship with Earnhardt’s widow, Teresa, that ultimately drove Junior out of DEI at the end of the 2007 season.

A m ov e t o He n d r i c k Motorsports hasn’t translated into the on-track success Earnhardt Jr. desired, and the last three seasons have been a confidence-shattering nightmare for NASCAR’s most popular driver.

This season is another fresh start — his fourth makeor-break season. A new crew chief this year has renewed hope, and he’ll start on the pole for Sunday’s seasonopening Daytona 500.

The irony of Earnhardt’s son winning the pole for the 10-year anniversary race of Earnhardt’s death wasn’t lost on fellow Hendrick driver Jeff G o rd o n , w h o s u r m i s e d “things are certainly lining up in an interesting way.”

Tiger Woods fined Woods has now gone 17 tournaments without a victory for the first time since turning professional in 1996.

Almost a year ago, following a sex scandal that ended his marriage and rocked the golf world, Woods promised to “make my behavior more respectful of the game.”

The tour’s code of conduct states that when a player becomes a member he “voluntarily submits himself to standards of behavior and ethical conduct beyond those required of ordinary golfers and members of the

Continued from 1D public.”

Television cameras spotted Woods spitting in an earlier round in the Dubai tournament.

Ewen Murray, a commentator for Britain’s Sky Sports, said on air after seeing Woods spit on the second tee box during the second round that it was “one of the ugliest things you will ever see on a golf course.”

On Sunday, after Woods spit on the 12th green, Murray said that “somebody now has to come behind him and maybe putt over his spit. It does not get much lower than that.”

Dante Cunningham had career highs with 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Blazers, who have now won 16 straight games against the Timberwolves and five in a row overall, their longest winning streak of the season.

Kevin Love finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds, just barely extending his double-double streak to 41 games, the longest since Moses Malone had 44 in a row in the 1982-83 season. He only attempted seven shots and was outworked all night by Cunningham and Aldridge.

$400M bonuses for GM workers

DETROIT — Less than two years after entering bankruptcy, General Motors will extend millions of dollars in bonuses to most of its 48,000 hourly workers as a reward for the company’s rapid turnaround after it was rescued by the government.

The payments, disclosed Monday in company documents, are similar to bonuses announced last week for white-collar employees. The bonuses to 76,000 American workers will probably total more than $400 million — an amount that suggests executives have increasing confidence in the automaker’s comeback.

In the four years leading up to its 2009 bankruptcy, GM piled up more than $80 billion in losses and was burdened by enormous debt and costly labor contracts.

“On the whole, we made tremendous progress last year,” CEO and Chairman Dan Akerson said Monday in an e-mail message to employees announcing the payments. “With our collective teamwork, this can be just the beginning.”

The company made $4.2 billion in the first nine months of 2010 and is expected to announce a fourth-quarter profit soon.

Most of GM’s hourly workers will get a record payment of more than $4,000 — more than double the previous record in 1999, at the height of the boom in sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. Nearly all 28,000 white-collar workers such as engineers and managers will get 4 to 16 percent of their base pay. A few — less than 1 percent — will get 50 percent or more.

Bill Selesky, an auto industry analyst with Argus Research in New York, called the recovery “dramatic” and said the payments were needed to stop talent from jumping to other automakers, especially crosstown rival Ford.

The company, he added, is also trying to send a message: “It’s the new GM.” But the bonuses drew criticism from an opponent of the auto industry bailout

in Washington who said GM should repay its entire $49.5 billion loan before offering bonuses.

“Since the taxpayers helped these companies out of bankruptcy, the taxpayers should be repaid before b o n u s e s g o o u t ,” s a i d Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa. “It sends a message that those in charge take shareholders, in this case the taxpayers, for a sucker.”

The government has been repaid $23 billion but needs $26.4 billion more to recoup its whole investment. The government still owns 500 million shares of GM common stock, which would have to sell for roughly $53 per share to get all the money back.

The GM documents show that the company plans to pay hourly workers at least $189 million in bonuses next month. About 45,000 workers at GM factories will get more than $4,000 each.

Another 3,000 workers at old parts plants that GM is trying to sell will get $3,000 each.

The company would not say how much the whitecollar bonuses will cost, but calculations made by The Associated Press show the total will probably top $200 million.

Wal-Mart weighs on Dow NEW YORK (AP) — WalMart Stores Inc. pulled down the Dow Jones industrial average Monday after analysts at JPMorgan lowered their outlook for the company. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index and the Nasdaq closed slightly higher.

JPMorgan’s analysts say the world’s largest retailer risks losing customers as low-income customers head to discount stores and other shoppers return to more expensive stores. WalMart dropped 1.6 percent and was the weakest company among the 30 that make up the Dow Jones industrial average.

Stocks traded in a tight range throughout the day as investors weighed the impact of President Barack Obama’s $3.73 trillion budget proposal for the next fiscal year.

Obama’s budget includes a five-year freeze on many domestic spending programs. The White House contends the budget plan

Most GM salaried workers earn in excess of $100,000 per year. A bonus of 8 percent, the midpoint of the range, would give them roughly $8,000 each. That means GM would pay out roughly $224 million.

Final numbers for the bonuses will not be calculated until after the company announces its fourth-quarter and full-year earnings from 2010 later this month.
