THE SPACE FLIGHT ISSUE

Astronaut goes from beach to space

BY JILL MICHAELS Special to the Daily Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. The more you talk with Santa Monica astronaut Randy Bresnik, the more opportunities you get to hear his amazing stories.

Bresnik is one of six NASA astronauts scheduled for launch today on STS-129 Atlantis. The 11-day space shuttle flight to the International Space Station will help outfit the outpost with critical spare parts in advance of the shuttle fleet’s retirement next year. Bresnik will participate in the second and third of the mission’s three spacewalks.

The first-glance appearance of a typical Marine Corps Lt. Col. belies Bresnik’s quiet sense of humor and penchant for the arts.

Born in Fort Knox, Ken., he moved to Santa Monica with his Army officer father, Albert “Randy,” and mother, Mary Ann, when he was two weeks old.

What does Bresnik remember about growing up with his three sisters in Santa Monica?

“The phenomenal weather,” he remarks.

“The smell of the sea breeze. The coastline.

“I’ve lived in many places. Still, it’s one of the few places on the planet that has everything.”

Bresnik lived five minutes from the beach and often rode his motorcycle on Pacific Coast Highway.

“You’ve got beaches; you’ve got the canyons of Malibu,” he said. “A couple of hours away, you’ve got the mountains and Photo courtesy Regan Geeseman/NASA

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Samohi secures playoff spot in lopsided victory

BY WILL WEISS Special to the Daily Press

HAWTHORNE When the Samohi Vikings traveled to Hawthorne on Friday, they had prepared for a do-or-die situation. The Vikings needed a win over the Cougars in order to secure the third and final seed in the playoffs from the Ocean League.

But when the buzzer sounded, announcing the Vikings’ 56-0 victory, there wasn’t a shred of suspense left in the stadium. Samohi

qualified for the playoffs and Hawthorne ended the season without a victory.

The shutout Samohi delivered started even before the clock got warmed up. The Cougars lost the coin toss, Santa Monica received, and senior wide receiver Mike Smith returned the ball over 80 yards for a touchdown in the first 15 seconds.

From there, things only got worse for Hawthorne.

The Vikings went on to score four touchdowns in the initial seven minutes of the

Gary Limjap

game on a carry by senior fullback Wylie O’Neil, a recovered Cougar fumble in the end zone, and a 10-yard end zone reception

by Smith, closing the first quarter with a whopping 28-0 advantage.

With another two touchdowns in the second quarter, the Vikings ended the first half with a 42-0 lead.

When action resumed, it took the Vikings just under seven minutes to score their seventh touchdown on a short carry by senior halfback Luke Zelon.

At that point, a mercy rule went into effect allowing the clock to run continuously except for timeouts.

The shortened second half didn’t stop the Vikings from scoring an additional touchdown before the game’s end, this time by sophomore second-string quarterback Christian Salem on an 11-yard keeper.

The game’s result was understandably as disastrous for the Cougars as it was tri-

Recession intensifies Gen Xers’ discontent

3

COMMUNITYPROFILES REBECCA HUTMAN

MARTHA IRVINE AP National Writer

CHICAGO They’re antsy and edgy, tired of waiting for promotion opportunities at work as their elders put off retirement. A good number of them are just waiting for the economy to pick up so they can hop to the next job, find something more fulfilling and get what they think they deserve. Oh, and they want work-life balance, too.

Sounds like Gen Y, the so-called “entitlement generation,” right?

Not necessarily, say people who track the generations. In these hard times, they’re also hearing strong rumblings of discontent from Generation X. They’re the 32- to 44-year-olds who are wedged between baby boomers and their children, often feeling like forgotten middle siblings — and increasingly restless at work as a result.

“All of a sudden, we’ve gone from being the young upstarts to being the curmudgeons,” says Bruce Tulgan, a generational consultant who’s written books about various age groups, including his fellow Gen Xers.

This isn’t the first time Gen Xers have faced tough times. They came of age during a recession and survived the dot-com bust of 2000. In recent years, though, more members of the generation — stereotyped early on as jaded individualists — had families or began settling down in other ways. It was time, they thought, to enjoy the rewards of paying some dues.

“We were starting to buy into the system, at least to some extent,” Tulgan says,“and then we got the rug pulled out from under us.”

Now, in this latest recession, nearly twothirds of baby boomer workers, ages 50 to 61, say they might have to push back their retirement, according to a recent survey from Pew Research.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the age spectrum are Gen Yers, who are often cheaper to hire and heralded for their coveted high-tech knowledge, even though many Gen Xers consider themselves just as technologically savvy.

Local teen to dance in the Macy’s Day Parade

BY MARISSA LYMAN Special to the Daily Press

PALISADES AVE Rebecca Hutman is used to being in the spotlight.

The 15-year-old Santa Monica resident has danced at Clippers games and school musicals, studio recitals and summer camps.

But next week will be a whole other story. Hutman, who lives by Goose Egg Park, will be watched by 2 million spectators and an estimated 65 million TV viewers as she performs in the finale of the 83rd Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Hutman appears excited, but ready, despite all the extra scrutiny.

“I don’t really think of it that way,” Hutman, who was selected as one of 60 performers from a pool of 400 singers and dancers, said. “Maybe when the day comes, [but] I don’t really get stage fright.”

Having danced for 13 years, it makes sense why Hutman isn’t afraid of turkey —

er, chickening out. Starting out small with mommy-and-me dance classes, the sophomore at Harvard Westlake has progressed to everything from jazz and ballet on pointe to hip hop and contemporary techniques. “[It] turned into something that I really love,” Hutman says of the progression, adding that contemporary dance is her favorite. “I think it’s the most expressive kind of dance and allows you to perform the most,” she said.

Hutman is all about exploring different ways of performing. For the past eight years, she has been a part of the Brentwood Academy of Dance, taking classes and competing on their team. “[With competitions] you take the same group of dances through and see how you can improve them, see how you can grow,” Hutman said.

As a complement to dancing, Hutman has also been dabbling in the realm of theater.

After an eighth grade production of “Guys

and Dolls” introduced her to musicals, Hutman stumbled upon Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Training Center in New York.

“It’s a very, very welcoming place,”Hutman said of Stagedoor, adding that the people really make the experience. “It’s so nice being able to meet people form all over the East Coast.

People are so distinctly different, and everyone is so supportive of one another.”

Now having spent two years attending a few of the center’s rigorous three-week summer programs, Hutman has gained a lot of experience as a part of a cast, instead of a team. By the end of one session, Stagedoor participants have produced an average of 13 fully-staged productions, with auditions held on the very first day. Hutman says she loves the feeling of satisfaction and payoff by the end of any production.

“It helped me grow so much as a person,” Hutman said. “You can really accomSEE CP PAGE 11

Missed opportunity The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District’s mission is to educate young people, yet what I see is a district too focused on lights and PR and not on helping develop the future.

I went to the Nov. 5, 2009, school board meeting at Malibu City Hall to share my frustration with the board and the district administration. I was frustrated by their inability to reply to an idea suggested by a member of the SMMUSD community.

On my way, I met a young lady who asked if I could show her the way to the school board meeting. She was a high school student who had driven in from Santa Monica. As we walked I learned that she was the board of education representative from her high school, that she had missed the last meeting because of strep throat, and that her principal wasn’t going to be at this meeting because of a prior commitment.

As we entered the room and I introduced her to the person she has talked to on the phone, I thought my job was done and she would be taken care of.

Unfortunately, I was sadly mistaken. Instead of welcoming this young woman, acknowledging her effort, or even making her feel welcome; the board proceeded into the details of the meeting with the flag salute and the approval of the minutes.

I was the first to speak. I used my three minutes and left. I don’t know if the board did or did not acknowledge the young lady before the meeting was adjourned.

I just believe that they missed an opportunity to improve the image and public relations of the district because they were too worried about the money and the bottom line and they have forgotten the human part of education.

ODDS OF A CHILD BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE: 1 in 16,000

Ross Furukawa

YOU CAN REWRITE HISTORY ALL YOU

want, but nothing changes the facts.

The latest attempt at fabricating tall tales is declaring the Santa Monica Pier “The Official End of Route 66.” Official? Huh? Actual? Definitely not!

The Online Dictionary defines “official” as “Authorized by a proper authority.” No governmental entity is behind this sorry spectacle and City Hall isn’t required to approve such a designation because it’s not covered by municipal codes or regulations.

So, who’s the “authority” behind these shenanigans? According to a Daily Press article (Nov. 10, Page 1, “Pier to be named official end of Route 66”), the authority is the Route 66 Alliance.

There are a number of organizations that promote Route 66. According to route66news.com, in Mid-June, 2008, “a steering committee was formed to establish a national Route 66 alliance.” The Alliance assembled a governing committee of 14 persons from various Route 66 associations from eight states.

It was this Route 66 Alliance that designated the Santa Monica Pier as the official western terminus of Route 66. Never mind that over time Route 66 had a number of ends and none were ever located even close to the pier.

I wrote about Route 66 on Nov. 5, 2007.

“On the California end, the original 1926 terminus of U.S. 66 was at Broadway and Seventh Street in downtown Los Angeles. It was extended to Santa Monica in 1936. A number of sources, such as roadtripusa.com, claim U.S. 66 ends, ‘Near where Santa Monica Boulevard dead-ends at Ocean Boulevard (sic) Avenue … ‘ “But, the real western end of Route 66 is not at Santa Monica Boulevard and Ocean in Palisades Park, after all. Rather, it’s at the intersection of Olympic and Lincoln boulevards. The historic66.com Web site says that the last leg of Route 66 from downtown Los Angeles ‘is on Santa Monica Boulevard and Lincoln where tourists are advised to turn left to Olympic.’ Wikipedia and Geocities claim ‘it terminated into what was at the time US101 ALT… (Lincoln at Olympic) a segment of California State Route 1.’”

So, how did Route 66’s terminus wind up on the Santa Monica Pier? It wouldn’t have anything to do with hundreds of daily visitors in town looking for the terminus of Route 66, would it? Tourists with bulging wallets? And, no souvenir stands at Olympic and Lincoln to spend money in?

Jim Conkle, a modern day P.T. Barnum and chairman of the Route 66 Alliance told

the Daily Press he had a feeling that the new official end is solely for the benefit and convenience of tourists.

Conkle said, “We aren’t trying to rewrite the history books. The accepted end or beginning is going to be the Santa Monica Pier; it gives a tourist and tour groups a place to start and finish.” What? The double-talking Conkle and others are rewriting history because this “official” designation is solely to deceive visitors.

Conkle and his alliance have partners in the deception. The Pier Restoration Corp. (a City Hall entity whose citizen/political appointee governing board oversees the pier’s operation and management) and Dan Rice, who owns 66-to-Cali, a Route 66 souvenir shop on the pier, are involved in this scam. So is the Santa Monica Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“Any given week you can go to the visitor center on Ocean where there is a Route 66 sign, and there are so many people who request to take a picture,” said Alison Best, SMCVB’s vice president of sales and services. “The [new terminus] creates an end, brings people to the pier, and lets [tourists] get out of their car and experience the beach and pier,” she told the Daily Press.

Do we need to feed the rubes a bunch of hokum so they can enjoy our oceanfront? It’s bad enough that this chicanery comes from local entities — proving that Santa Monica’s tourism industry will stoop to cheap carney tricks to keep tourism dollars flowing.

There’s no truth in this advertising.

And, when groups like the Route 66 Alliance that claim they’re promoting an American icon resort to lies and misrepresentation, everyone loses credibility. Even the news coverage scoffed that this “official” designation was inaccurate; therefore making us all look like lying impresarios and sideshow barkers.

Next, they’ll be claiming the sand next to the pier is the famous Malibu Surfrider Beach. Or, pilgrims landed at Oatman Rock Shop instead of at Plymouth Rock. Do those involved in this sorry charade really think sightseers are so dumb they won’t realize they’re being jerked around and ripped off?

As long as Route 66 aficionados are willing to twist history, let’s declare U.S. Interstate 10 as “Official Route 66” because it’s easy for tourists to find. And, the truth about the most iconic of American highways isn’t important except to those who come here to see the real, honest end of the road.

Is tweeting now a felony?

THE

OMINOUS

RISE

OF

THE

surveillance state continues unabated. With each passing day, hope fades that the Obama administration will diverge from George W. Bush’s erection of a police state.

The government’s treatment of Elliot Madison is a case in point. Madison, a 41year-old self-styled anarchist and social worker, was arrested on Sept. 24, 2009, and charged with violating a federal anti-rioting law. Madison allegedly listened to a police scanner (which, according to the New York Times, is legal) and blogged about it on Twitter to help fellow protesters avoid law enforcement at the G-20 summit taking place in Pittsburgh that same month.

(Ironically, just months earlier, the U.S. government called Twitter a boon to democracy after Iranian protesters used it to organize anti-government rallies.)

One week later, agents with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force raided Madison’s Brooklyn home, seizing computers, books and papers, along with other assorted items, including his marriage license, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” DVDs and a needlepoint depiction of Lenin. The list of what was taken stretches for pages.

All of this over a few tweets? After all, Madison’s tactics are fairly common these days. Monitoring police communications and movements during protests is one of the few means average citizens have in attempting to level the playing field against the pervasive surveillance tools of law enforcement agencies.

The police possess all manner of invasive and coercive technological devices at their disposal, which they used on protesters at the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh. As the New York Times reported, during the protest, “heavily armed police officers reacted to the anti-globalization protesters with tear gas, sonic weapons, rubber bullets and mass arrests.” Sound cannons — which are suspected of causing damage to eardrums and perhaps even fatal aneurysms — were also used to disperse protesters.

Unfortunately, as Ryan Singel writes for Wired, “The federal anti-rioting statute is serious business, and is seemingly easy to violate. For instance, it is a felony ‘to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or [...] to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in [...] a riot.’

By that token, simply telling a person fleeing cops with batons which way to run makes you a felon. One wonders how the Southern Christian Leadership Council and Martin

Luther King, Jr. would have fared under that law, when he was in a Birmingham jail, writing letters urging people to support the direct-action program of sit-ins and marches. Those protesters were later attacked by police using dogs and fire hoses on the orders of Birmingham Sheriff Bull Connor.”

Similarly, John Lennon could have been charged under this law for his “Power to the People” lyrics, which urged people to take to the streets and start a revolution.

The point is that it no longer matters what your particular gripe is, whether you’re an anarchist, a tree hugger, a Tea Party protester, or something else altogether. The government is sending a clear message that Elliot Madison is not the exception but the rule: this is what happens to people who disagree with the government and act on it.

The U.S. government is an expert when it comes to spying on its citizens. Information is being covertly collected about every aspect of our lives and is being secretly sifted and analyzed in vast data storage facilities, far from the gaze of public scrutiny. The highly secretive National Security Agency (NSA), for instance, possesses unprecedented powers to spy on our communications. Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 the telecommunications industry has worked with the NSA to allow the agency to screen data for key names and words, giving it the power to monitor e-mail, texts and calls for “suspicious activity.”

Moreover, what was once considered a peaceful protester is now, because of government paranoia, considered an extremist. A report produced by the Department of Homeland Security in April 2009 cast a wide net in its classification of “extremists” to include those on the right — such as those who “reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority” and oppose issues like abortion or immigration — and left-leaning “extremists” such as animal and environmental rights groups and anarchists.

Clearly, freedom of thought and conscience are at serious risk today from federal and state agencies intent on suppressing actions they deem to be a threat to the status quo. It all adds up to an Orwellian government that would like nothing better than to dictate what we can think, read and believe.

The thought police are not that far away.

The Route 66 Alliance last week named the Santa Monica Pier as the official end to the famous Route 66. This designation has angered some historians who say that the pier is not the time-honored end of the Mother Road and feel that the alliance and others are just trying to make a buck.

So, this week’s Q-Line question asks: Do you think the pier should be considered the end of Route 66 or should history prevail? Do you even care?

Cost of cotton Dear EarthTalk Can you enlighten on the environmental impact of the fashion industry? As I understand it, the industry overall is no friend to the environment.

Tan Cheng Li Malaysia

ACCORDING TO THE NON-PROFIT EARTH

Pledge, today some 8,000 synthetic chemicals are used throughout the world to turn raw materials into textiles. Domestically, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that one-quarter of all pesticides used nationwide go toward growing cotton, primarily for the clothing industry. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers many domestic textile manufacturing facilities to be hazardous waste generators; and lax standards and enforcement in developing countries, where the majority of textiles are produced, means that untold amounts of pollution are likely being deposited into local soils and waterways in regions that can hardly stand further environmental insult.

Luz Claudio, writing in Environmental Health Perspectives, considers the way Americans and Europeans shop for clothes as “waste couture”: Fashion is low-quality and sold at “prices that make the purchase tempting and the disposal painless.” Yet this sort of so-called “fast fashion” leaves a pollution footprint, with each step of the clothing life cycle generating potential environmental and occupational hazards.

According to Technical Textile Markets, a quarterly trade publication, demand for man-made fibers such as petroleum-derived polyester has nearly doubled in the last 15 years.

“The manufacture of polyester and other synthetic fabrics is an energy-intensive process requiring large amounts of crude oil,” reports Claudio. In addition, she says, the processes emit volatile organic com-

pounds and solvents, particulate matter, acid gases such as hydrogen chloride, and other production by-products into the air and water.

“Issues of environmental health and safety do not apply only to the production of man-made fabrics,” says Claudio, citing subsidies to the pesticide-laden cotton industry that keep prices low and production high.

In an effort to green up the industry, Earth Pledge launched its FutureFashion initiative in 2005 to promote the use of renewable, reusable and non-polluting materials and production methods. Besides putting on its own FutureFashion showcases, the group organized the January 2008 New York Fashion Week, encouraging designers to create and showcase greener clothing on their runway models. Green-leaning designers can also pick through Earth Pledge’s library of 600 sustainably produced textiles, including organic cotton as well as exotic materials such as sasawashi, pina, bamboo, milk protein, and sea leather.

Another effort underway to speed the fashion industry into a carbon-constrained future is the Ethical Fashion Forum, which provides a variety of tools and resources and runs training sessions and networking events to help facilitate moving the industry towards more sustainable practices.

One stumbling block to the greening of fashion is that only a small number of consumers — some analysts say less than one percent — will pay more for a greener shirt. But if the industry itself can improve its footprint from the inside and drive the costs of more eco-friendly materials and processes down, the benefits will trickle down to consumers, whether they are bargain-conscious or fashion-conscious.

to become more efficient in every aspect of my life, I was taken by a sudden realization: my new iPhone is the center of my universe.

Completely plugged into the world 24/7, thanks to this invention, I do ridiculous things in the name of multi-tasking. Exhibit A: I e-mail while running on the elliptical.

That’s right, with one hand waving wildly to my side and the other pressed onto my phone as I punch in numbers, I press send with the least sweaty hand. I usually experience a sweeping sense of accomplishment when I manage to do that. After all, I did do two things at the same time, right?

So, why then, in retrospect, do I feel less suave and more silly than anything else? I really didn’t save time at all; I simply slowed both exercising and e-mailing down! It turns out that true time management, like habitual environmental sustainability, requires a change in the way I think. I started thinking about other aspects of my life and realized that I do many things in the name of saving “time” or “money” or “resources” — and they actually accomplish none of those things.

What, then, am I really getting out of complicated habits that simply aren’t doing what they are supposed to? Sometimes it takes a different perspective to shed some light on the way I am really living my life — and what I can do to consciously live the best one I can. That is why I am so glad that when I searched “environmentally conscious ideas” on Google the other day, I got so much more than I asked for.

Simply titled “No Impact Man,” the site made my eyes pop as I read about a family who did a year long experiment of living a zero waste lifestyle in New York City! Colin Beavan, aka No Impact Man, did a blog, book, and film following his families’ attempts to stop mindless habits and to start enjoying the world in a mindful way.

Naturally, I started to think that this was all some publicity stunt. Call me jaded, but as I delve deeper into environmental sustainability practices (from recycling, to composting, to walking instead of driving), I realize that I am a hypocrite, too. So I had to hand it to Beavan with his book title practically proclaiming that, until this project, he had been living differently than his ideals: “No Impact Man: The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet, and the Discoveries He Makes About Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process.”

The book doesn’t set out to change the world, but documents the way that one husband, one wife, one toddler and one pet all lived life without waste. The concept blows my mind, especially since they did it in steps that make a lot of sense when setting out to achieve a goal.

“Stage one was figuring out how to live

without making garbage: no disposable products, no packaging, etc. Stage two was figuring out how to cause the least environmental impact with our food choices,” Beavan explains. “Stage three is figuring out how to reduce our consumption to only what is necessary and how to do that sustainably. The whole thing gets harder and harder as we add each stage.”

Laid out that simply, these stages to ultimate sustainability are actually something that I feel I could try someday as a curious citizen. As an environmental writer, I should implement it today. Luckily, I’ve found a happy middle ground. For a week in the middle of November, I am going to join the one week nation-wide carbon cleanse.

Inspired by the No Impact Man, the challenge includes a day each of changing the way we think about consumption, trash, food, and more. It ends in an “ego-sabbath,” just read the how-to manual here (after you sign up): noimpactman.typepad.com.

According to EPA Municipal Solid Waste Data for 2006, the U.S. produced more than 251 million tons of trash — 4.6 pounds per person per day. When I did the math and saw that I will be saving landfills from 32.2 pounds of trash in the middle of November, right before the holidays, I knew I had to give myself (and others) the gift of mindfulness this year. Maybe this mindfulness of my impact and my time will stretch to other things, which brings me back to my treadmill e-mailing on my iPhone. I am seeing the scenario quite differently now.

Even more so than at the onset of my discovery, I see that this is a bad habit. Beyond being a scary spectacle to anyone observing my gravity defiance while pounding hard on two different machines, I am tiring myself out more than saving time. Instead of managing to do two things well all at once, I do a mediocre job at a grammatically incorrectly e-mail reading “sent by my iPhone” and I complete a run clocking in at a much shorter distance. I have come to the conclusion that what I do makes its own mark on the world and is observed, so I better do everything as honestly as completely as possible.

Because, as I am realizing whole-heartedly, it isn’t the quantity of things we get or get done that makes our lives fulfilled, it is the quality of the one life we lead.

MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Medical Writer

ORLANDO, Fla. A new study raises fresh concerns about Zetia and its cousin, Vytorin — drugs that are still taken by millions of Americans to lower cholesterol, despite questions raised last year about how well they work.

In the study, Zetia failed to shrink buildups in artery walls while a rival drug, Niaspan, did so significantly. Zetia users also suffered more heart attacks and other problems although the numbers of these events are too small to draw firm conclusions.

Zetia “has been on the market for about seven years and we still haven’t proven that it improves clinical outcomes,” said Dr. Roger Blumenthal, preventive cardiology chief at Johns Hopkins University. The new results will be “very influential” in getting more doctors to turn to Niaspan, he said.

He wrote an editorial accompanying the results, which were presented Sunday at an American Heart Association conference and being published Monday by the New England Journal of Medicine.

The study is too limited to warrant changing practice on its findings alone, many heart experts said. Patients also should not stop taking any heart medicine without checking with their doctors first, they warn.

Statins such as Lipitor and Crestor have long been used to lower LDL, or bad cholesterol, and are known to cut the risk of heart problems. Nevertheless, many statin users still suffer heart attacks, so doctors have been testing adding a second medicine to further lower risk.

One they are trying is Niaspan, a slowrelease version of niacin, a type of B vitamin that raises HDL, or good cholesterol.

Another is Zetia, which lowers bad cholesterol in a different way than statins do, by blocking its absorption in the gut.

Vytorin is a pill that combines Zetia with a statin. Both are sold by Merck & Co. of Whitehouse Station, N.J. Niaspan is made by North Chicago, Ill.-based Abbott Laboratories. All three of these drugs cost between $3 and $4 a day, though niacin has been sold as a cheap generic for decades.

The new study was sponsored by Abbott, and several study leaders have been paid speakers or consultants to the company or to rival drugmakers.

Researchers enrolled 363 people with heart disease or a high risk for it who had been taking statins for six years on average.

Many were from Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where study leader Dr. Allen Taylor formerly worked.

Half were given Niaspan and the rest, Zetia. Researchers stopped the study in June, after 208 participants had been on the medicines for 14 months, because one group was faring much better than the other.

Ultrasound images of neck arteries showed that Niaspan shrank buildups by about 2 percent, while Zetia had no effect on this even though it lowered bad cholesterol as expected.

There were two heart attacks, heart-related deaths or other heart-related problems in the 160 people given Niaspan, and nine among the 165 on Zetia.

“It should be better for the arteries and it

wasn’t,” Taylor said of Zetia. “The drug wasn’t operating as you otherwise would expect it to,” raising concern that its effects are not fully understood, he said.

Merck’s research chief, Peter Kim, said the study and especially the number of heart attacks and other problems are too small to be conclusive. More than 25,000 people are in studies testing Zetia now, and independent monitors have found no problems that would lead them to stop the trials.

“We stand behind the safety of this drug,” he said.

Kenneth Frazier, Merck’s president of global human health, said: “The question is, how important is the study?” Shrinking plaque is no guarantee that heart attacks will be prevented, and not all studies have found a correlation, he said.

However, the difference in plaque that Niaspan made in this study “is precisely the same as the difference” that earlier studies found from statins, which are now known to save lives, said Dr. James Stein, a University of Wisconsin-Madison cardiologist. He is a leading researcher on imaging artery buildups and in the past consulted for Schering-Plough Corp., which used to market Vytorin with Merck.

Dr. Sidney Smith, a former heart association president from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said that for people with newly diagnosed cholesterol problems, “the foundation is still statins.”

The new study “affirms the benefits of niacin” and makes it the next drug to add if people need more help beyond what statins can provide, he said.

Last year, a large study found that the combo pill Vytorin was no more effective than Zocor alone, a statin now available as a generic for a fraction of Vytorin’s cost. In August, Merck and Schering-Plough agreed to pay $41.5 million to settle lawsuits claiming they delayed unfavorable study results on the drugs because they would hurt sales.

The drugs remain blockbusters: Vytorin had nearly $2 billion in sales in the United States in 2008; Zetia, more than $1.5 billion, according to IMS Health, a health care information and consulting company.

However, that’s down substantially: Zetia prescriptions fell 22 percent, from nearly 16.5 million in 2007 to less than 13 million in 2008. Vytorin fell 24 percent in that time, from about 22 million in 2007 to 16.5 million in 2008. Vytorin sales were down another 36 percent in the first half of this year.

Niaspan has been gaining but lags far behind — 5.8 million prescriptions in 2008, up 11 percent from 2007.

Its main drawback is a prickly hot sensation called flushing that many people find intolerable. The extended-release version is supposed to minimize this, but a third of study participants still suffered it. The problem tends to go away with longer use and can be blunted by taking the medicine with aspirin, at bedtime, or with a low-fat snack, doctors say.

“I wish I had more opportunity to go back.”

In his pre-flight NASA video interview, Bresnik confessed, “Aviation was always something that fascinated me.” He vividly remembers building with his father, at age 8 or 9, a model of the Gemini 4 capsule complete with a spacewalking Ed White attached by an umbilical. “That sat up there with the airplane models.”

Bresnik graduated from Santa Monica High School in 1985 (the same year as TV actor Chad Lowe) and started studying mathematics at The Citadel on a military scholarship. He attended flight school, got selected to fly F/A-18 jets as a Marine Corps pilot, and eventually qualified for test pilot school.

NASA chose Bresnik as one of two pilot astronauts in the class of 2004, nicknamed the Peacocks. But he showed such talent in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab, revealed STS-129 astronaut Mike Foreman, that NASA switched Bresnik to mission-specialist status.

The tradeoff? He will not fly the space shuttle, but he will get to walk in space.

Bresnik lists music and photography among his hobbies. Did he learn any tricks from his grandfather, a professional photographer, or did he just inherit the family’s artistic bent?

“Inherited the gene,” he said.

Then, with characteristic astronaut understatement, the grandson drops the bombshell news.

“He was actually Amelia Earhart’s personal photographer from 1932 to 1937.”

Albert Louis Bresnik was selected by Earhart and her husband, publisher George P. Putnam, to photo-document her flights.

The elder Bresnik was even slated to accompany the renowned lady pilot and her navigator, Fred Noonan, on their ill-fated equatorial trip around the world. But when it was determined that his camera equipment was too heavy, Bresnik was not flying with Earhart and Noonan when they disappeared in the Pacific on July 2, 1937.

“So, the amazing link to today,” narrates the astronaut grandson, “is that I’m flying Amelia Earhart’s favorite scarf on the (space shuttle) flight.”

Bresnik says that the staff at the NinetyNines Museum of Women Pilots, located in

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Fingers will be flying when space shuttle Atlantis blasts off Monday: About 100 of NASA’s geekiest fans will be on hand, pecking away at iPhones, BlackBerrys, laptops and other Twittering gadgets.

They plan to let loose with electronic messages — provided they aren’t so swept away by the afternoon liftoff that they fall uncharacteristically silent for a moment or two.

“I’ll be uploading stuff as it happens,” promised Steve Wake, 38, a computer programmer who flew in from Denver. “On launch day, who knows? I may be too excited about everything else to even think about doing that stuff. When it’s over with, I’m sure I will.”

Laura Burns already has a strategy. She figures she’ll have the words typed in and her finger hovering over the button so she can send a tweet at the moment of liftoff.

“I’ll have to be like juggling my iPhone and my camera and my eyes, and trying to get everything all at once,” said Burns, 33, a software systems engineer from Columbia, Md. She’s using the Twitter name “moonrangerlaura” to chronicle her entire trip — including the drive to Cape Canaveral and a pit stop for MoonPies.

For the first time ever, NASA last month invited its Twitter followers to sign up online for the chance to see a space shuttle launch up close.

Samohi secures third playoff spot in league FROM SAMOHI PAGE 1 umphant for the Vikings, marking the end of Hawthorne’s fourth consecutive winless season under Head Coach James Swain.

As the regular season ended easily, Vikings’ Head Coach Travis Clark said he was proud of his team’s accomplishment.

“I feel good about having an opportunity to go to the playoffs,” he said after the game.

“We made some mistakes that I don’t like, but for the most part, I’ll take the donut. I think the guys deserved it.”

The win was not all sweet, however, as

sophomore running back Kori Garcia left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury that occurred after the whistle.

Garcia had been standing near a pile as it was being broken up, and was accidentally knocked down by a Hawthorne player, pinching his left ankle between two players on the ground and injuring it.

Now, with an eye on the upcoming postseason, Clark and the Vikings are looking to improve upon their run defense in anticipation of what will likely be a series of battles for short yards.

“I think our main thing is, and I told my

boys this during this week, we’ve got to stop the run,” Clark said. “Playoff football is about being able to run and throw the ball and we’ve got to stop the run and that will give us the opportunity to be in the game.”

But despite the challenges that wait ahead, team leaders said they are excited, not worried, about their next game.

“I’m very excited,” said senior quarterback Garrett Safron. “We’ve got nothing to lose. We’ve just got to get out there, do what we’ve got to do, get that W, and shock some people.”

Zelon echoed Safron’s enthusiasm,

remarking that this season’s playoffs will be familiar but not unchallenging territory for Zelon personally.

“This is my third year in the row getting a playoff berth and hopefully we’ll make a run,” he said. “I’ve just got to stay on it, be disciplined and work hard."

Samohi will take on Palmdale in the first round of the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Western Division 2009 Championships Friday on the road. The game will begin at 7 p.m. news@smdp.com

Long-time dancer Hutman hears the call of the big stage FROM CP PAGE 3 plish something awesome with your peers if you work very hard.”

Working hard has given Hutman a lot of time to bond with her fellow performers and create cross-country friendships. As the parade’s performance troupe was selected entirely from a pool of Stagedoor students, she can’t wait to reconnect with everyone.

“I’m so beyond excited for the parade, [but] being able to see all of my friends … that’s

what I’m most excited for,” Hutman said.

Hutman will be traveling to New York with her mom, while dad will be cheering her on from home. Hutman has been especially grateful to her parents for being so supportive of her passion.

“They like that I’m doing what I love,” Hutman said.

It’s also thanks to them that Hutman is able to maintain her busy schedule. She dances nearly every day, attending practices at the academy while juggling her school

work as well. Luckily, many of Hutman’s West Coast friends also dance, so she sees them on a regular basis.

“We’re all pretty busy in general,” Hutman said of her friends from both school and dance. “It is hard to balance, [but] I’m the type of person who would take a hectic schedule over not having anything to do. I love being busy and being occupied.

I find them gratifying.”

As for the future, Hutman wants to minor in dance in college, but is unsure

about her major. She’s considered everything from medicine to law to something “literary” as a future career, but hasn’t decided on one thing yet. “[I have] all these loves. Hopefully they’ll manifest themselves into a job that will make me happy,” Hutman said.

Until then, she’ll dance, and getting to do that at the Macy’s Day Parade will make this Thanksgiving just a little bit tastier. news@smdp.com

Bresnik to wear Earhart’s scarf during mission FROM SHUTTLE PAGE 10 Oklahoma City, loaned him the multicolored scarf for its ride aboard Atlantis.

“If you go to that museum and see a picture of Amelia Earhart wearing her lucky scarf, that’s a picture my grandfather took,” he said. “Wherever she ended up on that final flight, we’ll be within 200 miles of it.

Her lucky scarf will be that much closer to her at some point in the flight. So that’s pretty neat.”

The astronaut and his father, a longtime resident of Santa Monica, granted permission to Air & Space/Smithsonian to showcase some Earhart photos on the magazine’s Web site. By sheer coincidence, the publication date aligned with the release of the Fox

Searchlight movie “Amelia,” starring Hilary Swank. Also by coincidence, the logo for the film’s title features a fluttering scarf.

In another round of six degrees of separation, Bresnik has crossed orbits several times with former astronaut Charlie Bolden — once his system wing commander at MCAS Miramar, now NASA’s administrator. Bolden took time to speak with the aspiring test pilot, both before and after Bresnik’s stint at the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School in Maryland.

Considering his own experience with Bolden as a mentor, Bresnik embraces a “pay it forward” sense of responsibility as a proxy explorer for others. What experience would he like to share, after his space flight, with the residents in Santa Monica?

“I think really that anything’s possible.

Santa Monica is such a beautiful place to live, work, go to school, grow up in,” he said.

“The exciting thing I’ve learned since leaving Santa Monica to go to school is that there are a lot of beautiful places all over the world.

“I’ve gotten to see a lot terrestrially, but it will be neat to see them all from outer space.

The beauty that I’ve seen from my colleagues’ pictures that have been to space before and that I hope to see with my own eyes — I hope to share that in some way with [Santa Monica residents] and try to find a way to articulate that human experience that I’ve had to them.”

There is just one shortcoming of heading into space for Bresnik.

“Unfortunately, not everybody gets to go, but everybody should have a chance to go to

space, and it would be really neat if they could someday,” he said. “I get the fortunate opportunity to be an astronaut that gets to go experience spaceflight, but now then the responsibility is on me to come back and share with everyone that hasn’t had the opportunity to physically do it. But at least they can be a part of it by being connected to another human being who has.” news@smdp.com

NASA leadership wants to connect with the nation’s youth FROM LAUNCH PAGE 10 The 100 slots — and 50 backup positions — filled in less than 20 minutes Oct. 16.

The two-day gathering got under way Sunday at Kennedy Space Center with talks

by NASA bigwigs, including the first Twittering astronaut, Michael Massimino, aka Astro_Mike. The discussions were streamed live on the Internet, and the “tweetup” gathering was near the top of Twitter’s trending topics Sunday morning.

Nearly half the attendees are from Florida, making for an easier trip, especially if the mission ends up being delayed. Atlantis’ six astronauts have thousands of pounds of spare parts to deliver to the International Space Station. The 11-day flight will keep the astronauts in orbit over Thanksgiving.

Monday’s launch time is 2:28 p.m.

Excellent weather is forecast.

The tweeps, as they’re called, represent 21 states plus the District of Columbia, as well as five countries, including Morocco and New Zealand. They’re traveling on their own dime.

NASA estimates the 100 have more than 150,000 Twitter followers. It’s a dream outreach program for a space agency looking to drum up support.

With only six shuttle flights remaining and still no word from the White House on a future course for astronauts, NASA is tapping into social media — Twitter, Facebook and the like — to spread its stay-in-space message.

Astronauts have been tweeting from Earth and orbit since spring. While NASA already has held a few of the tweetups — so-called meet ups of people who use Twitter — it’s the first for Kennedy Space Center, a high-security area requiring government clearance.

Even the most staid NASA types see the benefit of reaching out to a younger, hipper crowd.

Atlantis commander Charles Hobaugh — who acknowledged last month he doesn’t even text message — assigned the crew’s Twittering tasks to Dr. Robert Satcher Jr. Satcher, who will become the first orthopedic surgeon in space, uses the handle ZeroG_MD. “It’s exciting that this is generating more interest in space exploration and certainly interest in the last few missions of the shuttle, which we hope are not the last few missions of the shuttle,” Satcher said.

With five children of his own, the director of NASA’s space shuttle program appreciates the importance of reaching out to the next generation.

“It’s the right thing to do, is to use the tools available and get them excited about things that are real, not virtual,” program director John Shannon said.

Neal Wiser, a 41-year-old Internet marketing strategist from Philadelphia, is fulfilling a lifelong dream. The biggest thing he’s ever seen lift off is an 8-foot model rocket.

This is Wiser’s third NASA tweetup. He’ll be blogging and Twittering throughout.

“We’re all geeks together,” he said. “I actually joked to my wife that I’m turning into a NASA groupie.”

NCAA BASKETBALL

UCLA forced to return to basics

BY BETH HARRIS AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES Ben Howland has gone back to basics at UCLA. Losing Final Four veterans like Darren Collison, Josh Shipp and Alfred Aboya will force that on a coach.

Howland is emphasizing fundamentals to a team dominated by freshmen and sophomores, a bunch that was picked to finish third in the Pac-10 and isn’t in the preseason Top 25 for the first time in five years.

“It’s different than we’re used to at UCLA, what I’m used to in the past three years,” senior James Keefe said. “But it’s motivation. We got to prove to everyone that we belong. It gives us the chip on our shoulder that I think we need. Before we came in kind of like thinking we were just going to go through the conference, but we’re going to have to fight every game.”

They begin today against Cal State Fullerton in a game that tips off at 9 p.m. local time as part of ESPN’s 24 hours of college basketball.

Senior Nikola Dragovic is the lone returning starter on a team that finished 269 and lost to Villanova in the second round of the NCAA tournament last season after three consecutive Final Four appearances.

Dragovic is the leading returning scorer (9.4 points) and rebounder (4.3). Michael Roll, who led the Pac-10 in 3-point shooting last season (51.5 percent), is the third senior.

The nine sophomores and freshmen on a roster of 12 scholarship players will have to get good fast, with six games in 14 days to prepare for their biggest one of the season, against No. 1 Kansas on Dec. 6 at Pauley Pavilion.

“We have the talent and we have the players and the coaching to go as far as we want to go, it’s just how we react to certain situations,” Keefe said. “We can’t take nights off.

We don’t have the skill or the players just to walk through a game and win.”

With the departure of starters Collison, Shipp, Aboya and Jrue Holiday, Howland is in reload mode, charged with shaping the youngest and least experienced team he’s had going into his seventh season in Westwood.

Howland is back to being a teacher of defensive stances, hedging on screens, hard cuts and jump stops, with less emphasis on development of the NBA-like talent he had the last few seasons.

“We’ve got to work on basic fundamentals and continue to be patient and to understand, hey, we’re going to make mistakes,” he said. “We’re going to have some growing

pains early in the season.”

Especially at point guard, where Holiday was penciled in as Collison’s successor. But he left for the NBA draft after one season.

So the pressure falls to sophomore Jerime Anderson, who averaged 8.6 minutes while backing up Collison. Sophomore Malcolm Lee is likely to fill in at the point when Anderson takes a breather on the bench, but Lee will be needed more for his shooting.

Like several of his teammates, Anderson has lost valuable practice time, in his case because of a groin injury. Freshman Tyler Honeycutt sustained a stress reaction in his right tibia and will miss much of this month.

The Bruins have rarely had their starters playing together in practice.

“As we continue to practice and continue to play together, we’ll have a better chemistry and a better flow out there,” Anderson said.

“We want to get back on top of the Pac-10, that’s the main goal right now.”

The Bruins’ frontcourt will be led by Dragovic, who replaced Keefe in the starting lineup 15 games into last season. Sophomore Drew Gordon figures to start after averaging 11 minutes last season, while sophomore J’mison Morgan could be in the mix after improving his conditioning and weight during the summer.

“The main thing is I want to make sure that everyone realizes that just because we lost our seniors doesn’t mean we’re the worst team,” Gordon said. “I want to be more vocal, work hard, have a better attitude.”

In what could be a sign of challenges to come, the Bruins nearly got beat in their exhibition opener against NAIA opponent Concordia, winning by a point and giving Howland even more to worry about than what normally consumes him.

“We’ve got to get our players to constantly improve,” he said. “We’ve got to be a better rebounding team than we were a year ago, we’ve got to do a better job defensively.”

California was picked to win its first Pac10 title since Pete Newell retired in 1960, marking the first time in more than 10 years that UCLA or Arizona wasn’t the top choice.

Washington was picked second after ending its conference title drought last season, when the Huskies won their first outright title since 1953.

If the Bruins don’t rise to the top of the Pac-10, a down season in Westwood might mean a middle finish in the conference and a low seed in the NCAA tournament, two things worth celebrating everywhere but at UCLA where fans are known to expect a national championship every year.

GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

■ For some consumers, good environmental citizenship is important even when choosing among sex accessories. No longer will they tolerate plastic personal vibrators made with the softeners called phthalates; or body lubricants that contain toxic chemicals typically found in, say, antifreeze; or leather restraints from slaughtered cattle.

In an October issue, Time magazine described a market of organic lubricants, biodegradable whips and handcuffs, vegan condoms, and glass or mahogany vibrators (even hand-crankable models, eliminating the need for batteries). Some Catholic Church officials have also embraced the concept to further denounce chemical and latex birth controls, re-characterizing the traditional "rhythm" family planning as the back-to-nature detection of ovulation via body signals.

■ The British retailer Debenhams announced in September that it would begin selling men's briefs whose opening is more accessible from the left side, for left-handers who have been forced for decades to manipulate a right-side opening.

Previously, said a Debenhams executive, "(L)eft-handed men have to reach much further into their pants, performing a Z-shaped maneuver through two 180-degree angles before achieving the result that right-handed men perform with ease."
