New formula to evaluate, and reward, area teachers County

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

For the first time, some Bend-La Pine teachers will receive performance bonuses, representing a major shift in compensation and a new way for the school district to measure its effectiveness.

That new measure is known as a value-added model, and its supporters see great education reform prom-

ise in the approach. Value-added models, though, have also sparked controversy across the country, perhaps most famously in Los Angeles, where a newspaper’s publication of individual teacher scores led to

a national uproar. Critics also raise questions about the accuracy and fairness of the models.

Bend-La Pine and a handful of other Oregon districts received federal Teacher Incentive Fund money to test what effect performance incentives might have on public schools. The districts received the money through their affiliation with the nonpartisan Chalkboard Project, an Oregon non-

profit working on school reform.

The Oregon districts, including Crook County and Redmond, are using a schoolwide model designed to measure how much value a school has added to a student’s education.

Districts across the country also received grants and are using various value-added models, from schoolwide to teacher levels.

When wolves kill, how to decide compensation?

Deschutes County intends to announce the two finalists in the search for a new county administrator on Monday.

County commissioners and department heads spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday meeting with seven candidates in the running to take over the top position in county government. Erik Kropp, the interim county administrator, said the list has been reduced to two but that the county wants to begin background checks on them before releasing the names to the public.

In August, commissioners voted to fire County Administrator Dave Kanner, citing differences with his leadership style. Kropp, who had been deputy county administrator under Kanner, took over the position on an interim basis but did not apply for the job when the county began its search last fall.

Rancher Galen Wunsch, 70, looks over newborn Black Angus calves and their mothers on his property near Madras on Friday. Cattle on his heavily wooded ranch can fetch up to $20,000 per head — an investment worth protecting. Wunsch is one of two Jefferson County ranchers on a new county wolf committee, which will determine whether a rancher should be compensated for wolf-killed livestock — which hasn’t happened yet, though ranchers are bracing for it.

or decades, ranchers in Central Oregon didn’t have to worry about wolves going after their chief investments: cattle out to pasture or on the range.

But as wolves continue to spread through the state, they’re once again bracing for the loss of lifestock to the predators.

“If the wolves take our livestock, then we lose that money,” said Galen Wunsch, whose family lives on the C Lazy K Ranch between Madras and Prineville.

Raised to be breeding stock and not for meat or milk, cattle on the ranch fetch $3,000 to $20,000 per head, he said. The family wants to protect that investment.

So Wunsch is one of the members of a just-forming

committee in Jefferson County designed to use state grant money to compensate ranchers for livestock killed by wolves. Statewide, there is $100,000 available to compensate ranchers for livestock and dogs killed by wolves. A committee is also forming in Crook County, and lawmakers in Salem are considering a bill that would provide a tax credit providing another form of compensation.

Wiped from Oregon by state-sponsored hunts that ended in the 1940s, wolves are re-emerging after being reintroduced in Idaho and Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1990s. In 2008, state wildlife managers confirmed the first pack in Oregon’s northeast corner. There are now four packs, and two lone wolves were tracked in Central Oregon in the past year.

County wolf committees Crook and Jefferson counties are establishing wolf committees so ranchers will be eligible for compensation from the state if wolves kill any of their livestock or dogs. The state is requiring the committees to be set by Feb. 15.

Each committee has a county commissioner, two ranchers and two supporters of wolf conservation or coexistence. Those members will then select two representatives of businesses in the counties to severe on the committees.

JEFFERSON COUNTY • County commissioner: Wayne Fording • Ranchers: Galen Wunsch, Madras, and Shanes Gomes, Antelope • Supporters of wolf conservation: Gene Keane, a naturalist, and possibly a representative from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs • Business: Pete McCabe, manager of South Valley Bank, Madras; Bing Bingham, White Diamond Ranch, Ashwood

CROOK COUNTY • County commissioner: Seth Crawford • Ranchers: Trent Smith, Allen Teskey • Supporters of wolf conservation: Libby Stahancyk, Chris Gannon • Business: To be determined

SEATTLE — This is the University of Washington’s new math: 18 percent of its freshmen come from abroad, most from China. Each pays tuition of $28,059, about three times as much as students from Washington state.

And that, according to the dean of admissions, is how low-income Washingtonians — more than a quarter of the class — get a free ride.

With state funding slashed by more than half in the last three years, university officials here and elsewhere decide to pull back on admissions offers to state residents — and increase them to students overseas.

The billion-dollar woman with sights beyond Facebook

By Nicole Perlroth and Claire Cain Miller New York Times News Service

Seventy-two hours before Facebook’s big moment, Sheryl Sandberg was half a world away, hobnobbing with the likes of Bono and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Sandberg is Mark Zuckerberg’s No. 2. And, yes, if all goes well, she will soon become the $1.6 billion woman. On Wednesday, Facebook filed to go public in a deal that, in all likelihood, will instantly make it one of the most valuable corporations on the planet. But Sandberg had more on her mind. She was attending the annual World Economic Forum, where her subject wasn’t Facebook, but women.

old has been money for thousands of years, and some say a return to it is the only way to keep politicians from debasing currencies. To most economists today, gold is a commodity, subject to the normal fluctuations of supply and demand; to them, the supply of money should be controlled based on economic principles. Several GOP presidential candidates seem to favor a return to the gold standard. What is that, and what would using it mean?

The gold standard

Reining in the government

• Gold standard means that currency is backed by gold and the government stands ready to trade dollars for gold at a fixed price.

• Advocates see it as a way to limit government spending and the Federal Reserve; in theory, gold limits the amount of money the Fed can print.

• Today, the dollar depends on the economy and Federal Reserve policy.

• Most economists reject the standard, saying supply needs to be flexible.

RELATIONSHIPS IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Young, in love and sharing everything, even passwords

By Matt Richtel New York Times News Service

Young couples have long signaled their devotion to each other by various means — the gift of a letterman jacket or an exchange of class rings or ID bracelets. Best friends share locker combinations.

The digital era has given rise to a more intimate custom.

It has become fashionable for young people to express their affection for each other by sharing their passwords to email accounts, Facebook and other services. Boyfriends and girlfriends sometimes even create identical passwords and let each other read their private emails and texts.

They say they know such digital entanglements are risky, because a souring relationship can lead to people using online accounts and secrets against each other. But that, they say, is part of what makes the symbolism of the shared password so powerful.

“It’s a sign of trust,” Tiffany Carandang, a high school senior in San Francisco, said of the decision she and her boyfriend made to share passwords for email and Facebook.

Things don’t always end well, of course. Changing a password is simple, but students, counselors and parents say that damage is often done before a password is changed, or that the sharing of online lives can be the reason a relationship falters.

The stories of fallout include a spurned boyfriend in junior high who tries to humiliate his ex-girlfriend by spreading her email secrets; tensions between significant others over scouring each other’s private messages for clues of disloyalty or infidelity; or grabbing a cellphone from a former best friend, unlocking it with a password and sending threatening texts to someone else.

Rosalind Wiseman, who studies how teenagers use technology and is author of “Queen Bees and Wannabes,” a book for parents about helping girls survive adolescence, said the sharing of passwords, and the pressure to do so, was somewhat similar to sex.

Sharing passwords, she noted, feels forbidden because it is generally discouraged by adults and involves vulnera-

bility. And there is pressure in many teenage relationships to share passwords, just as there is to have sex.

In a 2011 telephone survey, the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that 30 percent of young people who were regularly online had shared a password with a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend.

The survey, of 770 people aged 12 to 17, found that girls were almost twice as likely as boys to share. And in more than two dozen interviews, parents, students and counselors said that the practice had become widespread.

Drew Kelly / New York Times News Service

Alexandra Radford said she changed a friend’s Facebook password during exams. Young people are expressing affection by sharing passwords to e-mail accounts, Facebook and other sites.

T S U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL

Russia, China stand with Syria New York Times News Service A U.N. Security Council effort to end the violence in Syria ended in acrimony and a veto by Russia and China on Saturday, hours after the Syrian military attacked the ravaged city of Homs in what opposition leaders described as the bloodiest government assault in the nearly 11-monthold uprising.

The rare double veto is almost sure to embolden the gov-

Even as speaker, Gingrich favored Freddie, Fannie On a trip to Ireland in 1998, Speaker Newt Gingrich researched his Irish roots, discussed the prospects for peace in Northern Ireland and entertained speculation about his presidential ambitions.

He even donned work gloves Gingrich and blue jeans to help build a home in Belfast for a goodwill project.

Two of the sponsors for part of the trip were frequent partners of Gingrich: Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae — the governmentbacked housing industry giants that Gingrich has denounced as he fights to stay in contention against Mitt Romney in the Republican primaries.

Gingrich has faced questions about the more than $1.6 million in consulting fees he got from Freddie Mac since leaving Congress in 1999. But part of the relationship started years earlier, as records and interviews show that Gingrich aligned himself with Freddie and Fannie on a number of key issues — defending them in Congress against political attacks, joining with them on housing projects and seeing top aides go work for them.

Gingrich, whose campaign declined to comment, has been blistering in his recent criticism of the mortgage finance companies. He has blamed them in part for the 2008 housing collapse, said they should now be “broken up,” and in a debate declared that Rep. Barney Frank should be “in jail” for associating with lobbyists close to Freddie.

But in Congress, Gingrich had kinder words. Announcing a housing partnership in Atlanta in 1995, for instance, he held up Fannie as “an excellent example of a former government institution fulfilling its mandate while functioning in the market economy.”

He was far from Fannie and Freddie’s only congressional supporter; before the stain of the 2008 housing collapse, their allies were legion. But Gingrich’s help was seen as crucial after the GOP took control of the House in 1994, as Freddie and Fannie tried to turn back rising hostility from some Republicans over their mission, structure and financing.

Beyond his role in thwarting legislative threats, Gingrich also worked with Fannie and Freddie on a number of housing projects in the U.S. and overseas, including in Belfast, as part of the “The House that Congress Built” program.

In his defense, Gingrich has contrasted the work as a Freddie consultant with the work he did in Congress, when he said he was aligned with those seeking industrywide policy changes.

“There’s a huge difference between what you do when you’re in public office,” he said on Fox News, “… and what you do as a private business person who has no direct power … and you’re sitting there offering advice.”

ernment of President Bashar Assad. The council voted 13-2 in favor of a resolution backing an Arab League peace plan for Syria; Russia and China opposed what they saw as a violation of Syria’s sovereignty.

The attack in Homs, where Syrian opposition leaders said more than 200 people were killed, drew outrage from the United States and abroad. But at the United Nations, Russia, Syria’s staunch ally, had prom-

ised to veto any resolution that could open the way to foreign military intervention or insist on Assad’s removal. The Arab League plan calls for Assad to cede power to his vice president and a unity government to lead Syria to elections. In an effort to placate Russia and other skeptics, Arab and Western ambassadors had already dropped specific references in the resolution to Assad’s ceding power and sanctions

and added language barring outside military intervention.

In the end, both Russia and China said they vetoed the measure because it unfairly blamed only the Syrian government for the bloodshed.

Diplomatic efforts continued, with Russia saying it would try to solve the problem itself. Moscow’s foreign minister is expected to visit Damascus on Tuesday for talks with Assad.

In Nevada vote, Romney finds broad GOP support Double-digit lead

Max Whittaker / New York Times News Service

Mitt Romney, pictured with two of his granddaughters before speaking in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Saturday — continued to march toward the Republican presidential nomination with a robust win in the “First in the West” Nevada caucuses Saturday.

Bulletin wire reports LAS VEGAS — Mitt Romney handily won the Nevada caucuses Saturday, solidifying his status as the front-runner and increasing his momentum as he seeks to use the month of February to ease doubts within the Republican Party about his candidacy and begin confronting President Barack Obama.

Romney ran well ahead of his three opponents on a night that delivered his second decisive first-place finish in four days, following his victory Tuesday in the Florida primary.

Nevada offers only a sliver of the delegates needed to win the Republican nomination — of the 28 delegates at stake, Romney won at least 10 — making it more of a symbolic triumph than a practical one. But it gave Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, an important opportunity to make a more assertive case that the party is finally coming together behind him.

Rival Newt Gingrich was once again in the position of vowing to carry on in the face of questions about his viability. He took his second straight defeat to Romney as an opportunity to hold a press briefing to outline his strategy. There, Gingrich brushed aside all talk of quitting the race and said he hopes a series of victories will enable him to catch up with front-runner Romney by the Texas primary in early April.

Nevada’s significance Nevada is almost considered home turf for Romney, who is Mormon. The state has a large share of Mormons, roughly one-quarter of Republican caucusgoers, according to entrance polls. And it shares a border with Utah, where Romney won credit for saving the troubled 2002 Winter Olympics.

Romney was hoping that a strong victory in Nevada, four days after a commanding finish in the Florida primary, would strengthen his hand among the ranks of Republicans who remained skeptical of his candidacy and his conservative foundation.

And there were some encouraging signs in polls of Nevadans entering caucus sites.

He won with a broad coalition of voters that included groups he has struggled with in previous contests, including very conservative voters, strong tea

party supporters and evangelical Christians.

The state has the largest share of voters who call themselves strong tea party supporters of any of the states that have participated in the Republican nominating contest so far. These voters are presumably a vital part of Gingrich’s coalition. Yet Romney won a higher percentage of them than did Gingrich, according to the entrance poll.

More than 4 in 10 of the caucusgoers surveyed Saturday said the quality that mattered most to them in a candidate was his ability to beat Obama in the fall; nearly three-quarters of them said they backed Romney.

Romney appeared elated as he took the stage at his election headquarters at the Red Rock casino hotel here, kissing his wife, Ann, who reminded the crowd that Nevada would be important in a general election, and hugging his sons before delivering a speech geared toward the fall.

“This is not the first time you’ve given me your vote of confidence, and this time I’m going to take it to the White House,” he said.

Gingrich’s plan As for Gingrich, aides said the former House speaker had spent the past four days hunkered down in the sprawling complex of the Venetian and Palazzo casinos — owned by one of his supporters, Sheldon Adelson — planning a new way forward. He has settled on what one of them described as a “definitional campaign” to disqualify Romney in the eyes of Republican voters in the coming weeks.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity before Gingrich met with reporters late Saturday, one aide said Romney’s campaign team would be “disappointed” to learn that Gingrich will stay in the race until the party’s convention in Tampa, Fla., this summer or until “they drop out, whichever comes first.”

So far, the delegate count stands at 97 for Romney, including endorsements from Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the convention and can support any candidate they choose.

Gingrich has 30, Rick Santorum 16, and seven for Ron Paul — whose not-far-behindGingrich showing in Nevada

Early returns from most of Nevada’s counties showed Mitt Romney with 42 percent support, Newt Gingrich with 26 percent, Ron Paul with 18 percent and Rick Santorum with 13 percent.

From Nevada, the calendar turns to caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado and a nonbinding primary in Missouri on Tuesday.

Maine caucuses end Saturday. The next seriously contested states are expected to be primaries in Michigan and Arizona on Feb. 28.

seems to validate, at least for now, his campaign’s decision to wager almost everything on a strategy of skimming delegates from those smallermarket and Western caucus states that are believed to offer advantages to Paul’s style of campaigning. It will take 1,144 delegates to win the Republican nomination.

As he did in Florida, Romney was eager to take on the mantle of nominee-in-waiting when he spoke to supporters — even though Gingrich, Santorum and Paul have said they intend to remain in the race.

“President Obama seems to believe America’s role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. I believe the 21st century will be and must be an American century,” Romney said to cheers from his backers.

Police raid Occupy D.C. camp The Associated Press Dozens of U.S. Park Police officers in riot gear and on horseback converged before dawn Saturday on one of the nation’s last remaining Occupy sites, with police clearing away tents they said were banned under park rules.

At least seven people were arrested. Officials said it was relatively peaceful but got tense late in the day when an officer was struck in the face with a brick as police pushed protesters out of the last sec-

tion of the park.

Protesters vowed to continue the movement. One of the speakers acknowledged the injured officer and urged everyone to practice nonviolence.

Police insisted they were not evicting the protesters.

Those whose tents conformed to regulations were allowed to stay, and protesters can stay 24 hours a day as long as they don’t camp there with blankets or other bedding. The D.C. demonstration enjoys particular First Amendment protections by virtue of its location on federal park service property.

ANALYSIS

Can he move to the middle?

By Karen Tumulty The Washington Post

The playbook for Republican presidential contenders goes at least as far back as Richard Nixon: Run hard to the right in the primaries, and steer back to the center for the general election.

Mitt Romney has sold himself all along as the most electable Republican. But as he moves closer to becoming the GOP standard-bearer, the candidate whose authenticity has been questioned from all sides faces a tricky challenge making a pivot for the next phase of the race.

Move toward the center, he infuriates the base; refuse to, he will alienate independent voters. And however he maneuvers, will voters be left with a clear picture of why he is running? Nothing is more central to the GOP self-identity than that this is the party that stands for big ideas.

As Romney has tried to win over his purist skeptics in the GOP’s activist base, he has shifted to the right on a number of issues. Most notable has been his stance on illegal immigration.

Among the other issues that could put him at odds with independents: His explicit support for the House Republican plan to restructure Medicare; his declaration that the housing market should be allowed to “hit the bottom,” rather than backing intervention to slow the rate

of foreclosures; his criticism of a move to end the combat mission in Afghanistan more than a year ahead of schedule.

“Romney’s twin challenges are to unify the Republican base … while at the same time not genuflecting so much that he can’t appeal to the independent vote,” said Ken Duberstein, an aide to Ronald Reagan.

Going into the fall, Romney will no longer have the advantage of superior resources and organization.

Romney aides declined to discuss any plans to retool their campaign for the general election — but did note that, whatever the challenges ahead, Romney is already running just about even with Barack Obama in the swing states, something that is true of no other GOP contender.

U.S. plans shift to elite forces for war

By Thom Shanker and Eric Schmitt New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The United States’ plan to wind down its combat role in Afghanistan a year earlier than expected relies on shifting responsibility to Special Operations forces that hunt insurgent leaders and train local troops, according to senior Pentagon officials and military officers.

These forces could remain well after the NATO mission ends in late 2014.

The plan, if approved by President Barack Obama, would amount to the most significant evolution in the military campaign since Obama sent in 32,000 more troops to wage an intensive and costly counterinsurgency effort.

Under the emerging plan, U.S. conventional forces, focused on policing large parts of Afghanistan, will be the first to leave, while thousands of U.S. Special Operations forces remain, making up an increasing percentage of the troops on the ground. Their number may even grow.

Past 2014 Senior U.S. officials have also expressed a desire to keep some training and counterterrorism troops in Afghanistan past 2014. The new focus builds on a desire to use the nation’s most elite troops to counter any residual terrorist threat over the coming months as well as to devote the military’s best trainers to the diffi-

cult task of preparing Afghan security forces to take over responsibilities in their country.

The plan would put a particularly heavy focus on Army Special Forces, also known as the Green Berets, for training.

At the same time, the elite commando teams within Special Operations forces would continue their raids to hunt down, capture or kill insurgent commanders and terrorist leaders.

Just as significant would be what the U.S. military’s conventional forces stop doing.

Americans would no longer be carrying out large numbers of patrols to clear vast areas of Afghanistan of insurgents, or holding villages and towns vulnerable to militant attacks while local forces and govern-

Angry Russians, some wielding signs (the one above calling Vladimir Putin a thief), others wearing ski masks, managed to gather a huge crowd in the center of Moscow on Saturday, undeterred by the arctic cold or by the near certainty that Putin will regain the presidency next month.

Thousands brave the cold — for and against Putin

A troubled opposition With precisely a month left before presidential elections, polls show that Putin, who is currently prime minister, is far ahead of his four rivals in the race. The protest movement has not coalesced into a coherent political force.

The opposition has also drawn some criticism for including communists and nationalists in its ranks. Separately from the main march, Saturday also saw a small Moscow rally by anti-Putin figures who want to keep their distance. They expected as many 30,000, but only about 250 came.

The rally ended with the call of “Not a Single Vote for Putin” and demands for legal reforms that would open the way for fair political competition and for new parliamentary and presidential elections. The protesters also demanded the release of political prisoners and punishment for those involved in the vote-rigging.

Before heading home, the protesters released white balloons. Some balloons had lettering saying “For Fair Elections” or “If You Inflate (the vote) Once Again, I’ll Burst.”

In Europe Defense Secretary Leon Panetta surprised NATO allies when he announced recently that U.S. forces would step back from a leading role in combat missions by mid-2013.

The description of the shift to a

Special Operations mission by senior officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the final plans have not been approved, go a long way toward explaining what Panetta sketched out for the allies.

Panetta, along with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, were in Munich, Germany, Saturday, also seeking to reassure Europe that, despite budget cuts and the coming withdrawal from the Continent of about 6,000 to 7,000 U.S. troops, the United States was not abandoning its partners across the Atlantic. But they also emphasized that Europe had to stop cutting its own military budgets and had to get its own economic house in order to keep the NATO alliance strong.

KABUL, Afghanistan — A U.N. report released Saturday has documented 3,021 civilian deaths in the Afghanistan War in 2011 — up 8 percent from 2010, which saw 2,790 deaths, and an increase of 25 percent from 2009, when 2,412 civilians were killed.

“Anti-government elements” — shorthand for the Taliban and other insurgent groups — were responsible for 2,332, or almost 80 percent, of conflict-related deaths in 2011. The report said 410 civilian deaths, or 14 percent of the 2011 total, were caused by operations

by Afghan, U.S. and international forces. A further 279 deaths, or 9 percent, could not be blamed on any side.

Truce denied, progress stalls in Myanmar

RUSSIAN PROTESTS

Bulletin wire reports MOSCOW — Tens of thousands of Russians embraced the numbing cold and marched to a frozen riverbank near the Kremlin on Saturday, demonstrating their determination to keep up the pressure on Vladimir Putin for fair elections and honest government.

But this time, the Russian authorities were prepared, organizing a simultaneous, and also huge, rally in defense of Putin. Speakers issued dire warnings of the possible consequences of continued protest revolution and the breakup of the country.

By the end of the frigid day, it appeared that the anti-government demonstrations had not lost momentum and could continue into the spring. If they do, they will pose an unexpected challenge to Putin, who has never faced sustained public opposition in his 12 years as the country’s paramount leader.

City authorities said Saturday’s anti-government crowd was larger than either of the two similar rallies in December; they estimated about 36,000 people were there. Organizers gave an estimate of 120,000.

ment agencies rebuilt the local economy and empowered local governments. Those tasks would fall to Afghan forces.

Pentagon officials and military planners say the new plan is not a direct response to the deteriorating political conditions in Iraq. Unlike in Iraq, leaders here have expressed an initial willingness to continue a partnership with the U.S. that includes counterterrorism missions and training.

U.N.: Taliban behind 80% of war deaths

New York Times News Service When Myanmar announced a cease-fire last month with one of the country’s most prominent rebel groups, it was seen as evidence of further reconciliation in a country emerging from decades of military dictatorship and ethnic strife.

Three weeks after the deal was announced, the leadership of the Karen National Union is denying that a cease-fire was signed.

That appears to be a significant setback for the government’s efforts to end the grinding civil conflicts that have divided the country. Reconciliation with the country’s armed ethnic groups has been one of the conditions the U.S. and other Western countries have put on Myanmar before sanctions and other punitive measures are lifted.

Where Putin is popular YAROSLAVL, Russia — With his stocky frame, broad face, blue overalls and red helmet, Andrei Smirnov looks as though he just stepped from a Soviet-style postcard of the ideal working-class figure. The 45-year-old factory worker remembers the deprivation of the early post-Soviet years in his industrial hometown 150 miles northeast of Moscow, and he credits one man with changing the country’s course in those dark days: Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Anti-Putin demonstrations in Moscow may be grabbing international headlines, but the quiet workaday routines of Russia’s provinces tell a far different story. Even as they abandon his ruling party, many outside the capital cling to Putin as the one who brought them stability, and that’s good news for Russia’s once and possibly future president a month before national elections.

“We understand that Putin is not a saint and that corruption in the country is horrible, but we don’t want revolutions,” said Smirnov’s wife, Yelena Smirnova.

A paradox of the workers’ support for Putin is their lack of allegiance to his United Russia party. In December’s parliamentary elections, which saw the once-dominant party suffer its most humiliating defeat in years, the result in Yaroslavl was the worst among all the big cities in the country. The canny Putin managed to distance himself from the party well before the parliamentary poll, perhaps aware that workers traditionally hate bureaucracy on all levels, suspecting corruption.

Even Putin’s staunch backers understand that the ruling party is all but dead and gone, said Yevgeny Urlashov, a lawyer and mayoral candidate who reportedly commands 30 percent of local voter support. “Putin will obviously win this time, but to keep his job he will be obligated to radically change his policy, to change the constitution and laws to give people back the democratic freedoms and rights taken away from them over these years.”

Defiant Iran steps up military exercises The Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran — Iran began ground military exercises Saturday and defiantly warned it could cut off oil exports to “hostile” European nations as tensions rise over suggestions that military strikes are an increasing possibility if sanctions fail to rein in the

country’s nuclear program.

The new military maneuvers came weeks after Iran rolled out its troops and arsenals in an unprecedented display of military readiness, with 10 days of naval maneuvers that included the first threats to block Gulf oil tankers in early January. State media reported

the ground maneuvers of the elite Revolutionary Guard started Saturday near Jiroft, 745 miles south of the capital.

They appeared to be smallscale exercises and not linked to the planned major naval maneuvers near the Strait of Hormuz, the route for onefifth of the world’s crude oil.

Killers’ families struggle with shame, silence and fear Editor’s note: This is an excerpt of an article in today’s New York Times. Read the full version at nytimes.com.

By Serge F. Kovaleski New York Times News Service

PUEBLO, Colo. — On a summer night not long ago, Maureen White sat alone in her living room staring at a DVD she had avoided watching for years.

On the screen was her older brother, Richard Paul White, the person who taught her how to ride a bike and who tried to protect her from their mother’s abusive boyfriend when they were children. He was confessing to murdering six people.

Toward the end of the videotaped police interrogation, Maureen White reached for a razor blade and began to slice her left leg.

“I felt such rage and anger and so many emotions I did not know what to do,” said White, 34. When she was done, she said, she needed dozens of stitches and staples.

Richard Paul White, 39, will spend the rest of his life in prison for three of the murders, to which he pleaded guilty in 2004. Maureen White, whose life has always been fragile, is still struggling.

Like relatives of other vio-

Schools Continued from A1 Value-added will be one of many measures of how BendLa Pine’s schools and teachers are doing, said Superintendent Ron Wilkinson. The district also launched new teacher and principal evaluations this year.

“The great teacher is a combination of many things, and you’re never going to measure that with one score,” Wilkinson said.

Value-added model for Bend-La Pine

Jones and Karen Stiner, both district teachers who have worked extensively on BendLa Pine’s model.

Though the district will not be able to track student-by-student data, it will be able to pull reports on groups in a school such as talented-and-gifted students or special education students.

Once schools receive valueadded scores, the results alone will not show how class size or a specific teacher affected performance, but officials will look broadly at what is going right and wrong in a school. If, for instance, one school’s English language learners are far outpacing predicted results, the district would be able to adjust its approach in other buildings to mimic that success.

With that information in hand, teachers should better understand what is working and what isn’t.

“This is truly moving our profession forward. We want to continue the positive momentum that we have in our district,” Stiner said.

Wilkinson hopes the model will help the district improve its schools beyond the federal grant’s five-year life. The grant is funding research on incentive pay in schools, but Wilkinson and others in Bend-La Pine doubt there will be much effect.

In a common refrain, Wilkinson said the people who become teachers aren’t in it for the pay.

“It was one concern from the beginning of (the grant) that it was based on a failed hypothesis,” Wilkinson said.

Wilkinson says he under-

stands that’s conjecture, however, and that the district will not know the study’s results for several years.

Mathematica Research Inc. will write the report when the study is done, but the organization is also advising districts like Bend-La Pine on the technical aspects of value-added models.

Kevin Booker, a senior researcher at Mathematica, said the grant rules left open just how districts would measure teacher performance. Booker believes the mix of models used across the country will strengthen the results.

The point of the study, he said, is to find out what works.

“It’s a more realistic study to allow that kind of variation,” Booker said. “There’s a lot of anticipation for the results.”

said Jamison, who added that each district was free to design its own model.

Like all models, however, the schoolwide approach has pros and cons.

Dan Goldhaber is director of the Center for Education Data and Research at the University of Washington Bothell and has written several articles on value-added models.

The benefits of the schoolwide approach, Goldhaber said, are at least twofold: It addresses concerns that a teacher-level model would hurt collaboration and that it is “a lot easier to do politically.”

With a schoolwide approach, everyone receives the same score and the same bonus tied to value-added. An individual teacher’s performance is basically averaged out.

“You’re using a very blunt instrument to try and target teacher effectiveness. You’re going to be fairly and unfairly rewarding teachers,” he said.

Jesse Rothstein, a critic of value-added models, is an associate professor of public policy and economics at the University of California at Berkeley. In one article, Rothstein described how assigning students to certain classrooms can bias value-added models.

Averaging results over an entire school can help mute issues like that, he said. Taking away the bounce, though, can also hide performance differences.

Even so, Rothstein said he did not believe value-added should be “thrown out.” Outside of technical issues, the main concern should be how the scores are used. A score can inform a teacher’s evaluation, but it should not be the evaluation alone.

People tend to overvalue the usefulness of value-added measures, Rothstein said.

“Even the name makes it sound unimpeachable.”

That the value-added model is tied to something like a bonus has raised the stakes considerably, according to Mark Molner, president of the Bend Education Association.

The model itself is less an issue — though there is confusion about it — than the “high stakes” use of it, he said.

Teachers are still learning what value-added means, and with that learning curve comes some distrust, Molner said.

“Its going to be awhile before we believe in value-added models like we believe in gravity,” Molner said.

Molner and others have said the model could improve schools independent of bonuses. That’s part of the hope in the model, according to Dan

NE Williamson Blvd.

The model predicts how every tested student in Oregon should perform on Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills reading and math tests given certain characteristics like gender and socioeconomic status. How well a student performs beyond that predicted score is the value-added. (See box.)

In the schoolwide model, all value-added scores are averaged into a single score. The school’s score is then converted into a percentile that ranks schools of the same grade level, like elementary schools, against each other.

Unlike the other Oregon districts, Bend-La Pine will compile value-added scores for math and reading. Wilkinson believes that will give the district a better understanding of what is happening in the schools.

The high-percentile schools will receive the highest bonuses, which could hit 15 percent of an average teacher’s salary of about $55,000. This year, 10 percent of the bonus will be based on a teacher’s individual evaluation. The evaluation will eventually make up about one-third of the bonus.

As part of the study, six Bend-La Pine schools are eligible for that bonus, while another seven act as a control and will receive a 1 percent bonus regardless of performance. Five other district schools are eligible to receive up to a 15 percent bonus but are not part of the study.

Nine district schools will receive value-added scores but are not eligible to receive any bonus.

Bend-La Pine will have value-added scores for all of its schools, even for those not eligible for any bonuses.

There are endless variations to value-added models, but broad versions measure performance at the school, grade, subject or teacher level.

Even if the Oregon school districts were so inclined, they could not use a teacher-level model because the state has not tracked specific students with particular teachers until this year. A valid value-added model requires at least two years of data, and so teacher-level scores would be a few years off.

Regardless, the local districts show little inclination to move away from schoolwide models to a more granular measurement despite that change.

Dan Jamison, Chalkboard’s vice president of education policy, said each of the districts’ teachers helped design each local value-added model.

One issue with a teacher-level model is that it only averages a classroom over a few years, and the smaller sample size results are “bouncy.” Averaging across the school reduces that bounce, but the broader approach also better reflects each district’s team-teaching approach, Jamison said.

“There is a sense we’re all in this together. That is one big motivation to choose schoolwide value-added models,”

A sister’s guilt

White, then 30, often “said offthe-wall things,” she recalled.

She dismissed the morbid claims as fantasies. Eventually, she called the police.

Now, Danyall White is grappling with her own guilt.

“It wasn’t just the guilt of my brother being behind bars, but the guilt of watching everybody’s life falling apart because of what I did, the phone call that I made,” said White, 37. “Some of my family shunned me, and it ate away at me.”

Soon enough, White said, she found “a friend and confidant” who never left her side: alcohol.

After the arrest of her brother, White abandoned her studies and was dismissed from her job because, she said, the company told her it could not assure her safety against colleagues’ threats and insults.

In 2010, White entered an alcohol rehabilitation program and says she had been sober for 20 months before briefly relapsing recently. “I told no one in rehab who I was, that I was R.P.’s sister,” she said. “In sobriety, I have realized that I was taking responsibility for someone else’s actions. A lot of the guilt has subsided.”

shame, anger and guilt. Most said they were overwhelmed by the blame and ostracism they had received for crimes they had no part in.

Yet many of these families stay in close touch with their imprisoned relatives. Nat Berkowitz, the father of David Berkowitz, the New York City serial killer known as the Son of Sam, said he regularly talked to his son on the phone more than 34 years after his arrest. “I am 101, and it still goes on,” he said.

It was not an easy thing to do.

Late last year, Kerry Cahill, a 29-year-old woman who lost her father in the shooting, contacted Hasan to discuss the foundation, whose message she liked. They met at his home for several emotional hours. She said that Hasan was apologetic and that she sensed he was burdened. She recently accepted his invitation to sit on the foundation’s board.

“We are both angry at the same thing,” she said.

“Our phones went completely quiet, dead,” Hasan, 42, a criminal defense lawyer, said at a large oak table in his impeccably neat office, where a painting of the U.S. Capitol hangs above a fireplace. “It was devastating since we relied on referrals. I lost dozens of prospective clients, and it still happens.”

Internet accounts reported that the two men were relatives. An interview Hasan gave to Fox News soon after the shooting in which he said his cousin “was a good American” created an impression to some that he was condoning what his cousin was accused of doing.

The discomfort crept into his personal life. When he returned to a local school where he had been a volunteer assistant wrestling coach since 2000, he said, he was asked to leave because of his connection to the Fort Hood violence.

He packed up.

Sandberg Continued from A1 Specifically, it was how women, in her view, must take responsibility for their careers and not blame men for holding them back.

Given that Sandberg is Facebook’s chief operating officer — she helped steer this social network to this once-unimaginable height — and that all of Wall Street was hanging on last week’s news, you might think that she was absurdly off-topic at the Davos, Switzerland, summit.

But Sandberg sees herself as more than an executive at one of the hottest companies around — more, too, than someone who will soon rank among the few self-made billionaires who are women. She sees herself as a role model for women in business and technology. In speeches, she often urges women to “keep your foot on the gas pedal” and to aim high.

Her call isn’t simply about mentoring and empowering. It is also about business strategy. Most of Facebook’s 845 million users are women.

And women are also its most engaged users. So Sandberg is playing to a powerful and lucrative demographic, as well as to the advertisers who want to reach it. Inside Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., she is considered a notso-secret weapon for recruiting and retaining talented women as well as men. She and Zuckerberg will need the best brains they can find to sustain Facebook’s astonishing growth.

The costs of this new way of ranching, with changes to fences and hired hands regularly checking back acres for wolves, could cost more than the potential compensation for livestock lost to wolves.

Ranchers Continued from A1 In Eastern Oregon, wolves have killed livestock; given the growing spread of the species, the first wolf kill in Central Oregon will likely be in the next year or two, said Jon Belozer, a trapper for the U.S. Department of Agriculture who covers Jefferson and Crook counties.

“We are going to deal with this here,” he told a room of about 20 ranchers in midJanuary at the annual Jefferson County Livestock Association meeting in Madras.

Wolf laws Along with the tax credit bill, House Bill 4005, lawmakers are considering HB 4158, which would affirm the ability of state wildlife managers to kill wolves if they’ve attacked livestock. Following its wolf plan — which was created in 2005 and revised in 2010 — the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife set out to kill two wolves in an Eastern Oregon pack last fall. The Oregon Court of Appeals has indefinitely stopped the hunt while considering whether the killing of wolves is warranted under the state Endangered Species Act. A trio of conservation groups filed a lawsuit prompting the court’s review.

Jim Welsh, political advocate for the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association, said it’s unclear if the proposed law allowing the state’s killing of wolves would end the lawsuit, while officials with Cascadia Wildlands, the Center for Biological Diversity and Oregon Wild — the groups that brought it — said the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association is trying to circumvent the lawsuit with the bill.

Compensation Although not as fierce, debates over compensation and tax credits persist as well.

Josh Laughlin, the Bring Back Wolves campaign director for Cascadia Wildlands in Eugene, said he’s OK with ranchers being paid for animals killed by wolves only if they take measures to protect the animals first.

This would have to be more than “token” efforts like a cowboy riding the range for a week or a guard dog tested out for a week.

“We are talking about a new way of ranching or a new approach of ranching with gray wolves on the landscape,” he said.

The costs of this new way of ranching, with changes to fences and hired hands regularly checking back acres for wolves, could cost more than the potential compensation for livestock lost to wolves, said Marilyn Kasch, past president of the Jefferson County Livestock Association.

“The rancher has to pay for that,” she said. “Most ranches are Mom, Dad and the kids.”

They “don’t have money to pay a rider to watch cows,” Kasch said.

Her talks have gone viral Of course, it helps that Sandberg has personality and presentation skills. In Davos and on the conference circuit, in public appearances in Washington and on college campuses, she has a warm, disarming tone that sets her apart from many other executives, male or female.

Her talks have gone viral.

On YouTube, videos of her speeches have been viewed more than 200,000 times. Put simply, she exudes that certain something that seems to leave many people, particularly young women, a bit star-struck.

“There have been a handful of women that could have been the ‘Justin Bieber of tech,’ but Sheryl is the real deal,” said Ann Miura-Ko, a lecturer at the School of Engineering at Stanford and an investment partner at Floodgate, a venture capital firm in Palo Alto, Calif.

“Young women really want to be her and learn from her.”

Miura-Ko added: “Sheryl is radioactive plutonium when it comes to a recruiting weapon within Facebook.”

Other women in Silicon Valley have been role models. Many, like the Google executives Marissa Mayer and Susan Wojcicki, have quietly campaigned to promote women inside their companies.

Others — like Meg Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay who now runs HewlettPackard; Carly Fiorina, the former HP chief; and Carol Bartz, the former head of Yahoo — have reached pinnacles

By committee It will be up to wolf committees set up by county to decide whether a rancher has done enough to ward off wolves before receiving compensation, according to last year’s law. The ODFW also has to determine that a wolf killed the animal.

Each committee is made up of a county commissioner, two ranchers and two supporters of wolf conservation or coexistence. Once those five members are set, the committees select two more members who represent business.

Jefferson County picked its business representatives last week. Crook County is still in the process. Counties should have their committees complete by Feb. 15, said Don Hansen, the state veterinarian for the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

The agency is overseeing the state’s wolf compensation fund.

While the compensation would make up for the ranchers’ economic loses caused by wolves, Kasch, who runs cattle near Culver, said it doesn’t remedy the problem.

“The wolf is the problem,” she said.

Facebook’s No. 2 executive, Sheryl Sandberg, will reap a fortune in its stock offering. And she hasn’t stopped telling the world how women should take responsibility for their careers.

of success in tech.

But none has made promoting women a cause the way Sandberg has.

Overly critical of women?

Even so, some say her aimhigh message is a bit out of tune. Everyone agrees she is wickedly smart. But she has also been lucky and has had powerful mentors along the way. After Harvard and Harvard Business School, she quickly rose from a post as an economist at the World Bank to become the chief of staff for Lawrence Summers, then the Treasury secretary. After that, she jumped to Google and, in 2008, to Facebook.

She is married to Dave Goldberg, a successful entrepreneur and the CEO of SurveyMonkey, which enables people to create their own Web surveys. She doesn’t exactly have to worry about money.

To some, Sandberg seems to suggest that women should just work harder while failing to acknowledge that most people haven’t had all the advantages that she’s had.

“I’m a huge fan of her accomplishments and think she’s a

15 year fixed

a couple weeks later.”

Her attention to women has paid off for the business in other ways, too, investors and analysts say.

Facebook’s female friends Sandberg has said that women drive 62 percent of activity on Facebook in terms of status updates, messages and comment. Women also drive 71 percent of daily fan activity.

Women have 8 percent more Facebook friends than men, on average, and spend more time on the site. In Facebook’s early days, women were first to upload photographs, join groups and post to walls.

“It’s no secret that women are an incredibly powerful market segment, buying online and making decisions in the digital world many times a day,” said Aileen Lee, a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the venture capital firm, which has invested in Facebook and several startups led by women.

Part of Sandberg’s role has been to cultivate relationships with large advertisers seeking new ways to engage with customers — particularly female ones — online. She was instrumental in signing up advertisers like Procter & Gamble. After several meetings with Facebook, Procter chose the platform for a new Secret deodorant campaign aimed at young women.

For all her roles and titles, Sandberg is about to add one more: billionaire. According to Facebook’s filing, Sandberg made nearly $31 million last year, including base salary, bonus and $30.5 million in stock awards. She owns 1.9 million shares in the company and an additional 39 million in restricted stock options. If Facebook goes public at a valuation of $100 billion — which Wall Street sees as a possibility — her stake could be worth as much as $1.6 billion. She would rank among the richest self-made women in America, above Meg Whitman ($1.3 billion) but below Oprah ($2.7 billion), according to Forbes.

huge role model in some ways, but I think she’s overly critical of women because she’s almost implying that they don’t have the juice, the chutzpah, to go for it,” said Sylvia Ann Hewlett, president of the Center for Talent Innovation, a research organization on worklife policy, and director of the Gender and Policy Program at Columbia University.

“I think she’s had a golden path herself and perhaps does not more readily understand that the real struggles are not having children or ambition,” Hewlett continued. “Women are, in fact, fierce in their ambition, but they find that they’re actually derailed by other things, like they don’t have a sponsor in their life that helps them go for it.”

There’s no denying that Sandberg has been remarkably successful at Facebook.

When she joined the company, it had some 70 million users and no business model. With her in the COO seat, profits have reached $1 billion on $3.7 billion in revenue.

She has arguably made an equally big mark with her frequent speeches to women, which are a call to draw more women to technology, and to Facebook. She personally recruited Lori Goler, its head of human resources, and Katie Mitnic, its head of platform and mobile marketing. Sandberg’s role in keeping such employees has been even more crucial.

Sandberg declined to be interviewed for this article. But with The New York Times, she spoke of talking with a female job candidate who never mentioned children. “So we offered her a job and I said, ‘We don’t have to talk about this, but just in case you’re thinking of turning down this job because you’re thinking of getting pregnant,’ ” you shouldn’t worry, Sandberg said. There was no need, Sandberg told her, to choose between having children and a career — both were possible. “She took the job and told me she would not have taken the job had I not had that conversation. She got pregnant

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2012

Colleges Continued from A1 This approach has rankled some local politicians and parents, a few of whom have even asked Michael Young, the UW president, whether their children could get in if they paid nonresident tuition.

“It does appeal to me a little,” he said.

There is a widespread belief in Washington that internationalization is the key to the future, and Young said he was not at all bothered that there were now more students from other countries than from other states. (Out-of-state students pay the same tuition as international students.) “Is there any advantage to our taking a kid from California versus a kid from China?” he said.

“You’d have to convince me, because the world isn’t divided the way it used to be.”

If the university’s reliance on full-freight Chinese students to balance the budget echoes the nation’s dependence on China as the largest holder of American debt, well, said the dean of admissions, Philip Ballinger, “this is a way of getting some of that money back.”

Indeed, by the reckoning of the Institute of International Education, foreign students in the United States contribute about $21 billion a year to the national economy, including $463 million in Washington state. But the influx affects more than just the bottom line — campus culture, too, is changing.

While the University of Washington’s demographic shifts have been sharper and faster — international students were 2 percent of the freshmen in 2006 — similar changes are under way at flagship public universities across the nation: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and the University of California campuses in Berkeley and Los Angeles all had at least 10 percent foreign freshmen this academic year, more than twice that of five years ago. And at top private schools including Columbia University, Boston University and the University of Pennsylvania, at least 15 percent of this year’s freshmen are from other countries.

All told, the number of undergraduates from China alone has soared to 57,000, from 10,000 five years ago. At the University of Washington, 11 percent of the nearly 5,800 freshmen are from China.

A few places have begun to charge international students additional fees besides tuition: at Purdue University it was $1,000 this year and will double next year; engineering undergraduates at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign had to pay a $2,500 surcharge this year.

“We’re in something akin to the gold rush, a frontier-style environment where colleges and universities, like prospectors in the 1800s, realize that there is gold out there,” said David Hawkins, the director of public policy at the National Association for College Admission Counseling. “While it’s the admissions offices butting up against the issues most right now, every department after them, every faculty member who comes into contact with international students, is going to have to recalibrate as institutions become more international. I see a cascading list of challenges.”

Issues big and small Indeed, they have already begun here at Washington’s flagship university, where orientation leaders last fall had to explain, repeatedly, the rigorous campus recycling practices, reinforce no-smoking rules and, at the make-your-ownsundae bar, help people get the hang of the whipped-cream cans.

But there are deeper issues, like how much latitude professors should give in written assignments.

“We recognize that people from other countries often speak with an accent,” said John Webster, director of writing at the university’s College of Arts and Science. “If we’re truly going to be a global university, which I think is a terrific thing, we have to recognize that they may write with an accent as well.”

For example, because Mandarin has one word for “he,” “she” and “it,” and nothing like “a” or “the,” many Chinese speakers struggle with pronouns and articles. And English verb forms, like past participles, gerunds and infinitives, can be difficult to master, since Chinese verbs

Students from China, including Rui Liu, left, make up 11 percent of the nearly 5,800 freshmen at the University of Washington this year.

are unchanging.

Given that Chinese students’ writing will be “accented” for years, Webster believes that professors should focus less on trying to make their English technically correct and more on making their essays understandable and interesting. But he knows this could be a hot-button issue, reminiscent of the Ebonics debate decades ago.

The international influx is likely to keep growing, in part because of the booming recruiting industry that has sprung up overseas. That includes the use of commissioned agents, who help students through the admissions process — and sometimes write their application essays.

Amid controversy over such agents, Hawkins’ group has named a commission, to meet for the first time next month, to formulate a policy regarding recruiters.

(In the United States, it is illegal to pay recruiters for each student they bring in — a practice outlawed 20 years ago because of widespread abuse by agents who signed up anyone they could, regardless of academic potential. But the use of commissioned agents to recruit international students remains a highly divisive, hotly debated issue in higher education circles.)

Rejected residents Nationwide, higher education financing has undergone a profound shift in recent years, with many public institutions that used to get most of their financing from state governments now relying on tuition for more than half their budget. But legislators and taxpayers still feel deep ownership of the state institutions created to serve homegrown students — and worry that something is awry when local high achievers, even valedictorians, are rejected by the campuses they have grown up aspiring to.

“My constituents want a slot for their kid,” said state Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle.

“I hear it at the grocery store every day, and I’ve got four young kids myself, so I get it.

“We are struggling with capacity, access and affordability,” he said. “But international engagement is part of our state’s DNA. We have a special economic and social relationship with China, and I am happy to have so many Chinese students at the university.”

“Families are frustrated,” said Jim Allen, a counselor at Inglemoor High School in Kenmore, an affluent suburb north of Seattle. “There aren’t as many private colleges here as in the East, and a lot of families expect their children to go to UW.” Unlike many other state universities, the University of Washington did no overseas recruiting before this academic year, when it staged recruiting tours in several countries.

So the rapid growth in international applications — to more than 6,000 this year from 1,541 in 2007, with China by far the largest source — was something of a surprise. Last spring, another surprise was the percentage who accepted offers of admission: 42 percent decided to enroll, up from 35 percent the previous year.

“As best I can make out, it’s just word of mouth,” said Ballinger, the admissions dean.

“We’re well-known in China, we’re highly rated on the Shanghai rankings, and we have a lot of contacts.”

Applications from abroad present some special challenges. Because the SAT is not given in mainland China, the university does not require international students to take it. Although it does not pay recruiting agents, Ballinger said he knew that many applicants hire them, so the university

does not consider Chinese applicants’ personal essays or recommendations. (Yes, he also knows that some affluent

applicants in the United States get extensive help from paid private counselors.)

Some in-state students said

they had trouble knowing what to make of the fact that international students, on the one hand, help underwrite financial aid, and on the other, take up seats that might have gone to their high-school classmates.

“Morally, I feel the university should accept in-state students first, then other American students, then international students,” said Farheen Siddiqui, a freshman from Renton, just south of Seattle.

“When I saw all the stories about UW taking more international students, I thought, ‘Damn, I’m a minority now for being in-state.’ ” Actually, nearly two-thirds of Siddiqui’s classmates are from Washington, but her inaccurate sense of the population was echoed by all of the three dozen freshmen interviewed — including those from other states and from

China. Most, like Siddiqui, estimated that half to two-thirds of the class was international.

Siddiqui cited a psychology class in which the professor asked the 600-plus students about the nature of the families they grew up in. With clickers recording the responses, Siddiqui said, about 60 percent said their families were “collectivist,” rather than “individualist,” something she perceived as more Asian than American.

Alison Luo, who grew up in Chongqing, a major city in China’s southwest, had mixed feelings about the trend that she is part of.

“Before I came, I saw the online chatting in China, with hundreds of people coming to the University of Washington,” Luo said. “I was kind of worried about that. I paid to study abroad, and it was almost like I was studying in China.”

Pet parrot dies in Bend cabin fire

Nitrate levels are fluctuating

A cabin off Brookswood Boulevard in Bend burned Saturday afternoon, killing the owners’ pet parrot.

Bend Fire Department battalion chief Bill Boos said the small building was a loss.

Owner and resident Allen McEntee said he’d stepped out briefly before the fire began. His girlfriend was napping in the cabin, he said, and was awakened to the sound of his dogs barking. The woman escaped with the backs of her arms slightly singed, McEntee said.

He said it appears the fire destroyed his collections of guns and cameras, an antique slot machine, and other valued possessions.

In the past few years, McEntee has had difficulty finding work, experienced the death of his father, and was struck by a car. Still, he said he felt fortunate after Saturday’s fire — ammunition stored in the cabin was set off by the spreading fire, he said, and his sleeping girlfriend could easily have been struck by an errant bullet.

“I’ve had three years of not very good luck, but the glass is always half-full,” McEntee said.

“My girlfriend and my two basset hounds made it out, and that’s all that matters.”

Fire investigators were attempting to determine the cause of the fire late Saturday afternoon.

• The DEQ’s latest test results don’t show any pattern, official says

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Nitrate levels in southern Deschutes County are up, down and flat over the past 16 years, according to test results recently released by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.

Following a 2009 countywide vote to overturn new Deschutes County regulations to protect groundwater in the area, the state agency took over the job of managing the

nitrates situation in 2009.

Since then, the DEQ has assembled a citizens committee to study the issue.

Nitrate contamination between Sunriver and La Pine is widely believed to be the result of septic systems leaching into the shallow groundwater.

Tests of wells in the area have found nitrates in drinking water, sometimes at levels near the federal safe drinking water limit of 10 milligrams per liter.

The latest round of tests, performed at 51 well sites in October, was a follow-up on tests performed at the same sites in 1995 and 2000.

Eric Nigg, eastern region water quality manager for the DEQ, said it’s difficult to draw any conclusions as to how nitrate levels have changed.

At approximately two-thirds of the wells, nitrate levels were found to be roughly equal with what testers found in 1995. Wells with rising nitrate

levels are located a few blocks from those showing flat or declining nitrate levels, and Nigg said he sees no pattern in the results.

How well the test results can be compared to past results may be questionable.

The DEQ regards all tests showing a deviation of less than .5 milligrams of nitrates per liter of water as flat to account for possible variations in the volume of the water table due to rain and other seasonal fluctuations.

Man who landed in jail in mistaken identity case files lawsuit

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

A man whom Deschutes County Sheriff’s corrections officers sent to a jail in The Dalles after mistaking him for a different man with an outstanding warrant has filed a lawsuit.

Danny Jay Myers, 63, is seeking damages of at least $110,000 for 11 days of wrongful imprisonment at the Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Facility.

He filed suit in U.S. District Court in October, naming Deschutes and Wasco County, the sheriff and deputies in both counties, an Oregon State Police officer, and the NORCOR facility and its employees as defendants.

In July 2010, Myers was arrested by Redmond police on suspicion of methamphetamine possession.

While he was being held at the Deschutes County jail, jailers identified him as Jay W. Myers, a Wasco County man four months younger with an arrest warrant for criminal possession of rental property.

Lawsuit’s claims

— Bulletin staff report

WASHINGTON — Just days after it was introduced, the Senate passed the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act on Thursday by a vote of 96-3.

The bill, known as the STOCK Act, makes it illegal for members of Congress and their staff to use non-public information they learned during the performance of their duties. Previously, Congress had been exempt from laws banning insider trading.

However, the Senate rejected an amendment to the STOCK Act, co-sponsored by Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., that would have gone even further by forcing senators and their senior staff to either place their portfolios in a blind trust or sell off their stock. Investments in broad-based funds would still be permissible.

This would prevent not only conflicts of interest, but the appearance of impropriety, argued Merkley and amendment sponsor Sen. Sherrod Brown, DOhio. The amendment, which needed 60 votes to pass, failed, 26-73.

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

F

ree demos of skis, snowboards, snowshoes and more are on offer today at Mt. Bachelor, part of the resort’s first-ever Winter Carnival.

Mt. Bachelor spokesman Andy Goggins said the event, held Saturday and today, is an opportunity for visitors to the mountain to try something new.

“This is for snowshoers that haven’t

thought about skiing, skiers that haven’t thought about snowshoeing,” he said. “We’re just trying to have everything in Oregon winter-related converge at one event at Mt. Bachelor.”

Along with the free demos, the carnival includes snowmobile rides, a beer garden and barbecue, and a handful of vendor booths clustered around the Nordic Center at West Village.

If not for the slow start to the win-

ter, the carnival might look quite different. Lack of snow at Wanoga Sno-park forced the cancellation of the early-January Winter Trails Day, a free demo event organized by REI, Pine Mountain Sports and other local merchants. Instead, Mt. Bachelor invited the organizers of Winter Trails Day to join them for the weekend, said Dave King of REI, expanding the event significantly.

100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 4, 1912

Asks permit for turkeys A “turkey trot” that overlaps anything known along New York’s Great White Way or around the old Custom House place in Chicago will likely be witnessed around Davis Lake and on Crane Prairie, on the upper Deschutes River, next summer. Twelve hundred turkeys, big, little and otherwise will be herded there if Uncle Sam approves the application

of C.D. Schell for a grazing permit for this number of birds.

Mr. Schell dropped in on Supervisor J. Roy Harvey of the Deschutes National Forest a few days ago and gave the forest official the shock of his life by applying for use of part of the reserve during the summer season. Mr. Harvey had received many applications to graze cattle, sheep and other life stock on the government range, but when it came to turkeys — and 1,200 too — he had to declare that Solomon, with all his wisdom, was much mistaken when he promulgated the proverb, “There is nothing new under the sun.”

Mr. Harvey looked through all his grazing fee schedules, but there was nothing put down (or on) the turkey head; it was too much for him.

He was considerably relieved, however, when he looked at his map to find that the greater part of the territory which Mr. Schell has in mind as a stomping ground for his little brood of birds lies in the Paulina reserve and to Supervisor Cryder of Crescent he referred Mr. Schell. Mr. Harvey says it is the first application of the kind he ever heard of and thinks it may be the first the forestry service has run across.

Mr. Schell is evidently a conservationist, for he has learned that there are thousands of fat grasshoppers going to waste every summer on the upper Deschutes which could easily be converted into delicious meat to accompany the cranberry sauce for the holiday dinner.

According to documents filed in the case, Myers attempted to contest the misidentification, but was not given an opportunity to do so. On the day he was due to be released from the county jail after serving 15 days, he was instead transported to NORCOR, a regional jail in The Dalles serving four northeast Oregon counties.

Myers again attempted to contest his misidentification. After 11 days at NORCOR, he was released. Myers’ filing states that upon his release, he walked approximately 30 miles in hot weather before he was able to get a ride back to Central Oregon, suffering extreme pain due to blistering on his feet.

Defense claims Documents filed by the defense state that Myers was fingerprinted at NORCOR, and that Oregon State Police verbally confirmed that Danny Jay Myers and Jay W. Myers were the same person. Defense filings also state that Myers was given an opportunity to make phone calls to arrange transportation home from NORCOR as part of his release processing.

50 YEARS AGO

Continued from B1 For six years Mr. Schell taught school in the Philippine Islands, going to Manila ten years ago. On his return to “the states” he engaged in the fruit industry at Ashland, being secretary of the association there. About a month ago he came to Central Oregon, looked the country over and bought an irrigated “forty” near La Pine.

For the week ending Feb. 4, 1962

Groundhog suffers retinal burns here Central Oregon groundhogs, which proverbially come from their rocky dens on Feb. 2 to look over the weather situation, suffered retinal burns this morning.

The sun came over the Ochocos unclouded and brilliant at 7:22 o’clock and cruised west through the day across blue, spring-like sky.

Marmots, closest kin of the groundhogs in this area, definitely saw their shadows.

Legend says this means six more weeks of winter.

But certainly there was no winter on the mid-Oregon uplands today.

Early this afternoon, the mercury was again reaching into the low sixties, after touching the 65 degree mark for a high Thursday. Forecasts indicate that the fine weather is to continue for at least 24 hours, but with the possibility of occasional clouds.

Building to cost $20,000 At a cost of $20,000, a bank building that will be by far the finest in all Central Oregon will be erected at the northwest corner of Bond and Oregon streets by the First National Bank and the Deschutes Investment Company.

Pressed brick and Indiana limestone will be used in the construction.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 4, 1937

Snow records in Bend are broken Chilled by another night of sub-zero temperature, local weather observers dug into their records today and announced that the present January weather is really “unusual.” So far as can be ascertained from the records, never before in the history of Bend has snow covered the ground for five weeks.

Snow that now covers the ground started falling here on Christmas Day, but the first real fall did not occur until December 30. Bend residents have not seen black ground so far this year. More than two feet of snow has been measured here this month and today 13 inches covered the ground on the level.

25 colleges sign up for Winter Carnival

Record snow halts traffic in Portland and Valley The worst snowstorm since 1919 struck the Northwest last night with Portland the focal point. About 17 inches had fallen here today, blocked all traffic and left the city without police, fire or ambulance protection.

Groundhog Day finds midstate snowed in The groundhog, legendary long-range forecaster, saw his shadow in Central Oregon this morning, providing he was able to dig his way up into sunlight through deep snowdrifts. There was some sunshine in the midstate country this morning, but very little was reported from the lava regions, home of the Central Oregon marmots.

Folks who are very hopeful that the groundhog did not see his shadow and that spring is just around the corner are confident that this reputed weather forecaster of the animal world did not get through deep snow, packed into great drifts in the lava country.

“If the groundhog saw his shadow this morning, he must have used a bulldozer and other snow removal equipment to break his way through the drifts,” one skeptic said.

Twenty-five Northwest colleges have signed up for the Intercollegiate Winter Snow Carnival to be held at Bend and Bachelor Butte Feb. 23, 24 and 25, directors from the Portland State College said Thursday.

“We expect teams from all of these colleges,” directors Bruce Baer and Cal Salls said.

15 teams are entered for the skiing competition that features a slalom event, a giant slalom and a downhill race.

Unclassified and powder puff competition is scheduled for Saturday.

The races, Baer said, are just a part of the carnival that is expected to lure some 3,000 collegians to this area.

One of the top events is a talent show in the Bend High auditorium.

Each school will send one entry. “First place will be awarded $300 with a $200 prize for second and a $100 award for third. ... Judging will be by Portland and Bend radio, TV and newspaper personalities.

Each school will enter a princess, with a queen to be selected and crowned at the Friday night’s coronation ball at the Armory. Another big dance is scheduled for Saturday night at the Armory.

Other events tentatively scheduled include a twist contest on snowshoes at Bachelor Butte Saturday and a go-kart race Saturday afternoon, place to be announced later.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 4, 1987

After 22-year hiatus, Winter Carnival resurrected The Winter Carnival, once a weeklong bash that drew thousands of rowdy college students to Bend, will be resurrected this weekend

— more than 20 years after the last carnival was shut down.

But the new edition of the Winter Carnival, which will be held Saturday, should be significantly different from those wild winter parties of the 1960s.

The most important change is that the organizers of the event are not interested in rekindling the spirit of the old carnival — which featured raucous parties, skiers streaking down the slopes naked and an incredible week of beer sales each year.

Instead, scheduled events such as an alpine ski race, a cross-country scavenger hunt, a chili-dog feed and a dinner and dance Saturday night are expected to attract winter enthusiasts of all ages.

“It will be a family-oriented event,” said Bill Olsen, a Bend banker and chairman of the Bend Metro Park and Recreation Foundation, cosponsor of the event.

“Our goal is to turn this into the premier Northwest winter event,” said Olsen.

“We want this to be a winter event comparable to the Cascade Cycling Classic or Pole, Pedal Paddle in the summer.”

The old Winter Carnival lasted from 1962 to 1965, when the city decided it could no longer tolerate the annual onslaught of college students celebrating their spring vacation from school.

Olsen, who was a high school student in Bend during those years, said the event started out as a ski competition sponsored by Portland State University.

Each night during the Friday-to-Friday party, large dances would be held at various locations in town, including the high school, the old armory, the now-closed gymnasium on Wall Street and the Elk’s Lodge, said Olsen.

Well-known bands such as The Kingsmen, Paul Revere and the Raiders and The Wailers came to Bend to play at the dances, said Olsen.

“Paul Revere and the Raiders used to come into town in this big black hearse, a ’53 Cadillac,” recalled Olsen.

Many of the revelers stayed at the old Pilot Butte Inn, running up and down the halls of the massive building spraying fire hoses.

Each morning of the carnival, many of the partyers would get in their cars and start a “parade” through downtown Bend, said Olsen.

“They’d just drive around and around downtown in a steady parade, picking up more and more cars,” he recalled.

By 1965, the community had grown weary of the parades and the partying, and the students who attended the Winter Carnival were sent packing for the last time.

“It just got to be too rowdy,” said Olsen. “It was too roughand-tumble, and it was too hard on the community.”

Now those college students are in their 40s, and Olsen and other supporters of this year’s event are hoping many of them might want to return for a new style of Winter Carnival.

It was Kona’s first “real dumping of snow,” said Woods, who took the picture with a Canon D60.

Driver hurt in Hwy. 20 crash A Sisters man involved in a vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 20 was cited and hospitalized Friday afternoon.

Jack Graham, 68, was driving west about 1:30 p.m. when he crossed the center line and collided with an eastbound semitrailer carrying a load of lumber about four miles west of Tumalo, authorities said. A third vehicle drove into a ditch to avoid the collision.

Graham was hospitalized with non-lifethreatening injuries. He was cited by the Oregon State Police for driving on the wrong side of the highway.

The drivers of the other two vehicles were uninjured. Traffic was detoured around the crash scene for approximately two hours.

Continued from B1 Also on Thursday, the House of Representatives passed the Pro-Growth Budgeting Act, which requires the Congressional Budget Office to prepare a report projecting the economic impact and potential revenue from any major bill or resolution, i.e., one that affects .25 percent of the country’s gross domestic product during that fiscal year.

The measure passed, 242-179, with four Democrats joining the Republican majority. No Republicans voted against the measure.

U.S. HOUSE VOTE • Measure requiring the Congressional Budget Office to prepare a report on the economic impact and potential revenue from any major bill or resolution.

Walden (R) ...................Y Blumenauer (D) ...........N

Rep. Gary Peters, D-Mich., proposed an amendment to the ProGrowth Budgeting Act that maintained that President George W. Bush’s tax cuts were responsible for increasing the deficit by $2 trillion.

The amendment wouldn’t have changed how the bill functioned, but would have inserted language that stated: “From 2001 to 2009, gross domestic product grew at the slowest pace for any eight-year span since 1953,” and “Median household income declined during the Bush Administration for the first time since 1967, when this data began to be tracked.”

Not surprisingly, Republicans voted unanimously against the amendment. Four Democrats joined the Republicans in voting no, and the measure failed, 174-244.

O N Mushroom pickers found alive

By Nigel Duara The Associated Press

PORTLAND — A family of three huddled on the edge of an old-growth Oregon forest for six days, lost and cold, unable to signal search helicopters flying low and slow overhead.

Without food, water or even warm clothing, Belinda and Daniel Conne, along with their 25-year-old son, Michael, survived by drinking water from streams and taking shelter in a hollowed-out tree.

On Saturday, they managed to crawl to a clearing, where a search helicopter spotted them several miles outside the community of Gold Beach, roughly 330 miles south-southwest of Portland.

“It’s a miracle, really,” Curry County Sheriff John Bishop said.

The three were airlifted to a Gold Beach hospital, where Bishop spoke with them at an emergency room. He said the Connes told him they could see search helicopters just a few hundred feet above them while they were lost but had nothing to signal them with through the thick vegetation.

Bishop said Daniel Conne suffered a back injury, Belinda Conne had hypother-

Belinda and Daniel Conne, shown in an undated photo, and their son were found Saturday after they got lost while picking mushrooms. They survived six days in the Oregon coastal forest.

mia, and their son had a sprained foot and minor frostbite. All three also were dehydrated and hungry.

“They just got turned around,” Bishop said. “They sought some shelter in a hollowed-out tree and basically they stayed in the same place. But it was heavy vegetation where they were.”

Bishop said the three were “remarkably in pretty good shape,” given the amount of time they spent outside. He said they likely could have survived for two or three more days in the area, where fresh water is plentiful but food is scarce. The weather was mostly clear, with temperatures in the 40s and 50s.

Bishop said the family was spotted by Jackson County Commissioner John Raschor, who was searching for them in his own helicopter with Curry County Sheriff’s Lt. John Ward.

Raschor is the same pilot who found a San Francisco family lost in a snowstorm in 2006 just 35 miles from where he found the Connes. In 2006, Raschor flew Kati Kim and her two daughters to safety after spotting them near their car. James Kim died of hypothermia trying to hike out for help.

After being spotted by Raschor and Ward, the Connes were transported by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter to Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach. A nursing supervisor said Saturday afternoon the three were in a doctor’s care and were unavailable for comment.

Talking trash and learning from it • The city of Eugene is funding programs to teach schoolkids about composting and recycling

By Adeline Bash The Register-Guard (Eugene)

EUGENE — Through new city-funded school compost and gardening programs, local elementary and middle school students are learning how disposing of lunchtime trash can make a big environmental impact on their school and their communities.

“The resources we throw in the trash are valuable resources that we use and we need to be using,” said Rachel Sanders, an AmeriCorps volunteer and garden educator with the local nonprofit School Garden Project of Lane County.

By participating in compost and gardening programs, students will have “a greater appreciation for what it means to throw something in the trash,” Sanders said.

‘Put it in action’ She and other volunteers with the School Garden Project began organizing the compost programs last fall at 10 Eugene elementary and middle schools through a $5,000 grant from the city’s Waste Prevention and Green Building program.

Students, teachers and parents from five other Eugene and Lane County schools gathered for a cafeteria composting workshop at Adams Elementary School on a recent Friday morning to learn how to utilize an additional $10,000 grant from the city to start both compost and garden projects at their schools.

“It’s one thing to talk about sustainability, but to put it in action, that’s what students are going to remember,” said Maddy Ahearn, who teaches an environmental class called “The Green Team” at Roosevelt Middle School, one of the five schools starting programs this year.

The idea for the composting programs, which the Eugene School District also will help fund, stems from a citywide effort to reduce the significant waste generated by public schools. Schools with enrollment close to 400 students, like Adams, send at least 12,000 pounds of food scraps to landfills a year, according to city data.

By composting everything but meat and dairy food scraps, which are harder to break down, the city estimates that schools can reduce the waste by as much as 25 percent.

“Years from now we’re going to look at these changes and see it wasn’t that hard and it really helped,” 12-yearold Sarah Coates, a Roosevelt seventh-grader, said of starting a composting program at her school.

Scratch-off lottery winner wins again PORTLAND — A Portland man has scored a second scratch-off lottery win in four months, bringing in a total of $150,000 since October.

KDRV-TV reports that Jacob Grimm’s win last week came on a $100,000 scratch-off lottery ticket he purchased in Central Point.

In October, he bought a ticket at a Medford convenience store that won him $50,000.

Police: Shooting was tied to drugs EUGENE — Police acknowledge that drugs may have been the target of two men who reportedly burst into a Eugene home, one of whom was killed by gunfire. Neither the man killed nor the alleged shooter has been identified.

The Register-Guard reports 39-year-old Darrin George Dubouch and an accomplice burst into the home on Thursday. The accomplice was shot and killed by a 27-year-old man in the home.

Eugene police Detective Matt Herbert says Dubouch and the man slain likely targeted the house. Herbert says the shooter told police that he grabbed a handgun after two men forced their way into his home while he was alone there.

Dubouch is being held in the Lane County Jail on the robbery and burglary charges.

Ambulance service is saved — for now

Eugene School District Garden Educator Rachel Sanders, left, supervises student Lynn Nashaawi, 10, from Irving Elementary School, as she pours food scraps into a compost bin during a workshop at Adams Elementary School in Eugene

A cooperative effort Volunteers from the School Garden Project and seasoned composters from the 10 schools that began programs earlier this year worked with a group of about 30 students and teachers during a Jan. 27 workshop at Adams.

The workshop covered everything from what sorts of trash can be composted to how to properly maintain bins of compost throughout the year so they can eventually be used to fertilize gardens.

Of the $10,000 grant from the city, $8,000 will be used to fund Sanders’ position as

an AmeriCorps volunteer.

The remaining $2,000 will be used to purchase materials for three custom-made compost bins at each school.

The bins, made of local materials, will be constructed by middle and high school students in woodshop classes.

Any additional materials, such as wood chips or shovels, will be purchased through funds donated by the School Garden Project.

To help them get started, each school will be paired with a compost mentor from the Oregon State University Lane County Extension

Service compost program.

training

Reducing waste Anne Donahue, the city of Eugene’s compost and urban agriculture coordinator, said the city has focused on reducing waste in schools since the early 2000s. In 2002, for example, large compost machines that are able to hold up to 300 pounds of food were installed at six schools. The machines, however, were noisy and too large for most schools, so the city revised the plan to create smaller, more hands-on compost projects.

M I LT O N - F R E E WA TER — Umatilla County Commissioners approved a five-month contract with a private company to keep the ambulance service for the Milton-Freewater area in Eastern Oregon operational.

The East Oregonian reports Umatilla County agreed to pay Milton-Freewater Emergency Medical Service $5,000 per month through the end of June.

The service was set to end on Jan. 31.

The county will loan the

money until the Milton-Freewater Ambulance Service District secures its own funding.

Unlike every other ambulance district in Umatilla County, the Milton-Freewater area has no tax to support ambulance service. The district board plans within five months to secure a larger loan, request proposals and hire an emergency medical service provider on a longer contract.

The company said last year it would need $98,000 a year to stay solvent.

2 injured as van hits school bus BANDON — A bus carrying about 20 students was struck by a van on Friday night, leaving two children injured.

Oregon State Police say the crash at about 8:45 p.m. took place when the van, driven by 73-year-old Donna Perdue, pulled onto State Route 20 and struck the left side of the Bandon School District bus.

Fire personnel from the Albany Fire Department extricated Perdue and her 86-yearold husband. They suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Occupy tent removed from Portland park PORTLAND — A tent set up in a park once used by Occupy Portland protesters was set up late Friday, but then removed before midnight.

The tent appeared a day after chain-link fencing was removed from two downtown Portland parks following repairs after last fall’s lengthy Occupy Portland encampment.

The Oregonian reports a small group of people set up a tent late Friday night in one of the parks, but that it was gone by 11 p.m. The removal came after police Lt. Robert King said his officers would enforce park rules.

Poet Szymborska won Nobel Prize

By Raymon d H. Anderson

FEATUR ED OB ITUAR Y

New York Times News Service

Wislawa Szymborska, a gentle and reclusive Polish poet who won the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature, died Wednesday in Krakow, Poland. She was 88.

The cause was lung cancer, said David Goldfarb, the curator of literature and humanities at the Polish Cultural Institute in New York, a diplomatic mission of the Polish Embassy.

Szymborska had a relatively small body of work when she received the Nobel, the fifth Polish or Polish-born writer to have done so since the prize was created in 1901. Only

about 200 of her poems had been published in periodicals and thin volumes over a halfcentury, and her lifetime total was something less than 400.

The Nobel announcement surprised Szymborska, who had lived an intensely private life. “She was kind of paralyzed by it,� said Clare Cavanagh, who, with Stanislaw Baranczak, translated much of Szymborska’s work into English. “Her friends called it the ‘Nobel tragedy,’ � Cavanagh, a professor of literature at Northwestern University, said

in an interview Wednesday. “It was a few years before she wrote another poem.�

Szymborska lived most of her life in modest conditions in the old university city of Krakow, working for the magazine Zycie Literackie (Literary Life). She published a thin volume of her verse every few years.

She was popular in Poland, which tends to make romantic heroes of poets, but she was little known abroad. Her poems were clear in topic and language, but her playfulness and tendency to invent words made her work hard to translate.

Marie A. Kivisto Dec. 17, 1923 - Jan. 28, 2012 Marie A. Kivisto, a longtime resident of Bend, Oregon, passed away January 28, 2012, from a sudden heart attack. She was 88 years old. She had been a resident at Pilot Butte Nursing Home for the last 2 years, and prior to that, had lived for 40 years on a small ranch Marie A. Kivisto near Millican, with her life partner, the late Bill Baldridge, a local logger and trapper.

Marie was a well loved mother, grandmother and friend to all who knew her and she will be greatly missed and fondly remembered for her fun loving attitude. She was kind, patient, supportive and uncomplaining.

She enjoyed gardening, cooking and searching out great deals at the thrift store.

Forest plan weakens wildlife protection

By Ren ee Sch oof

A fir tree heads to the forest floor after it is cut by a logger in the Umpqua National Forest near Oakridge. A Northwest forest plan in 1990 greatly reduced logging in the region’s old-growth forests on federal land, but now that rule is about to change.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Back in the 1980s, when conservation advocates were trying to stop logging in old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest, they relied on a 1982 regulation that required the National Forest Service to protect wildlife such as the spotted owl throughout its range. They won, and a new Northwest forest plan in 1990 greatly reduced logging in the region’s old-growth forests on federal land.

Now the national planning rule that governs individual national forest plans is about to change, for the first time since the Reagan era. Scientists and environmentalists say many of the changes are improvements, but they object to a key change in the way the plan would protect wildlife.

That part of the plan always has been controversial. The timber industry opposes it.

Conservationists say it was vital to winning protection for old-growth forests. Now some ecologists and advocates say the Forest Service plan’s change on this point would punch a hole through key protections.

The plan, which covers all uses of forest — including timber harvests, grazing, recreation and wilderness — is expected to become final in early March. Until then, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack could still make changes.

But when Vilsack announced the plan last week, he called it “a strong framework to restore and manage our forests and watersheds and help deliver countless benefits to the American people.” The plan was published Friday in the Federal Register.

A key provision Conservationists say the wildlife provision is a crucial weak point.

“This plan is much less protective than the 1982 Reaganera one on wildlife protection,” said Niel Lawrence, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council. “This provision is the single strongest protection for the national forests, and the agency is not retaining it.”

The 1982 rule required the Forest Service to manage fish and wildlife habitat so that healthy populations of animals are “well-distributed” throughout each forest.

The new plan drops that language. Instead, it requires forest managers to maintain habitats. It leaves it up to the

official in charge of a region’s forests to decide whether any individual species needs extra protection to ensure that it will continue to exist over the long term with “sufficient distribution.”

Brenda Halter-Glenn, who led the team that created the new national plan, said in an interview that the new measure was more realistic about wildlife protection.

“The focus of this rule is on ecological conditions or habitat,” she said. “Those are the things we think through our management actions we can affect. We can create or maintain or restore habitat, but we can’t necessarily ensure that we have viable populations of all species.”

One reason for that, she said, is that some animals, such as migratory birds, also depend on lands that are beyond the Forest Service’s control.

Halter-Glenn said the plan addressed the question of how much discretion to give forest managers by requiring them to show how they used science to inform decisions. “There’s a lot of accountability built in,” she said.

Raising concerns Many scientists, however, are still concerned about the discretionary nature of the plan, said Barry Noon, a professor of wildlife ecology at Colorado State University.

“The requirements aren’t really requirements, because they’re largely discretionary,” Noon said.

In addition, it’s not possible to judge the health of animal populations only by measur-

ing how much vegetation they have, Noon said. The plan also should require monitoring populations of certain animals that are selected to get a sense of overall wildlife health, he said.

John McLaughlin, an expert in wildlife ecology and conservation who teaches at the Huxley College of the Environment at Western Washington University in Bellingham, said the plan should protect all native species. The new plan could be more or less protective than the old one, he said.

“It depends on who’s making the decisions.”

In the Northwest, officials attempted during the George W. Bush administration to dismantle the forest plan and open areas to the kind of clearcutting that was common in the region in the 1970s and earlier. The Obama administration scrapped that effort.

But the Bush administration’s attempt to increase logging, McLaughlin argued, is an example of how leaving too much discretion to officials could “make conservation very vulnerable to political whims.”

Conservation groups and the timber industry have fought over the wildlife protection in the forest plan for years.

Different perspectives Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, and 58 other members of the Health of Representatives wrote to the Forest Service last May, arguing that the provision in the rule that provides for plant and animal protection in the forests should be eliminated.

They argued that reliance on “best available scientific

information” and the expansion of protection to all species — the 1982 rule covered only vertebrates — would cost too much and harm the forests. It also would “reduce the number of jobs in our already distressed rural communities and further limit the amount of the American wood and fiber available to aid our economic recovery,” they wrote.

The timber industry makes the same points.

Ann Forest Burns, a spokeswoman for the American Forest Resource Council, a timber industry group, said the 1982 requirement for healthy animal populations was a mistake in the first place, and that the Forest Service had made it “much worse.”

The timber group also argues that the rule’s wildlife protection terms should mention that the forest plan governs multiple uses of the forest,

including logging. “They’ve moved beyond the objectives Congress had for them,” she said.

Conservation groups used the 1982 forest plan to argue for protecting the Northwest’s remaining old-growth forest on federal lands, a habitat that the spotted owl requires.

“If you take that away, there’s no other real legal protection,” said Mike Anderson, an attorney in Seattle for The Wilderness Society. The case for protecting old-growth forests from logging, he said, “has always been based upon it being an important habitat for imperiled species.”

The rule has some strong elements, such as the requirement to maintain and restore the health of ecosystems and watersheds, Anderson said.

“Protection for species as well as the ecosystem are important complementary protections,” he said. “Both need our attention. ... We’d just like to see the species part strengthened before it becomes final.”

What about carbon?

Dominick DellaSala, the president and chief scientist of the Geos Institute in Ashland, a consulting firm that focuses on addressing climate change, said there was another reason to keep the old forests: They store large amounts of carbon.

Cool-weather rain forests such as the ones in the Northwest and Alaska store more carbon per acre than any other forests do, DellaSala reported in 2010. A Forest Service study last year reported that worldwide, all forests soak up one-third of the carbon dioxide that’s produced by burning fossil fuels, keeping it out of the atmosphere, where it would trap energy and make the planet warmer.

ers and Jay W. Myers suggest the two men are similar in size. Danny Jay Myers is listed as 5 feet, 10 inches tall and 180 or 190 pounds, while Jay W. Myers is listed as 5 feet, 11 inches tall and 215 pounds. However, records indicate that Danny Jay Myers has brown eyes while Jay W. Myers has blue eyes, and Myers’ filing claims his jailers “failed to use traditional identifiers such as eye color, height weight and birth date.”

The U.S. District Court has not yet set a date for a trial.

Continued from B1 However, Nigg said it’s not actually known how significant such fluctuations are from year to year or season to season, and how much they could change test results. A dry period and a shrinking water table could create a temporary concentration of nitrates, while a wet spell that expands the water table could dilute them, creating the illusion that contamination is decreasing.

Samples tested in 1995 were drawn two to three weeks earlier in the year than the samples tested in 2011.

Nigg said that despite some uncertainty in the data, the new results are the best tool the DEQ has to track how nitrate levels are changing. If levels are trending up and continue to move upward, water from some wells could eventually become undrinkable, he said.

“We know that septic systems are a source of treated sewage that’s disposed of in the ground, it is one of the big sources down there,” Nigg said. “We believe that the various studies over the years have demonstrated there is a reasonable concern.”

The citizens committee studying the nitrates issue is scheduled to meet Tuesday to discuss the test results.

La Pine resident and Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone said the test results are “a new beginning” in the discussion about water quality in southern Deschutes County. Past discussions on possible remedies for contamination were often derailed by the lack of up-to-date information, he said.

“Everyone was talking about data that was 10 years old, so it’s very important for us to have this new data,” DeBone said.

He said he’s hopeful the new study can be a jumpingoff point for more intensive research, where researchers could visit wells with elevated nitrate levels and try to determine exactly where the contamination is coming from.

Businesses and homes in central La Pine are served by a sewer system that went online in 1988, but most homes in the surrounding area are on septic systems.

Carnival Continued from B1 At the far end of the West Village parking lot Saturday, employees of Ruff Wear set up alongside Mt. Bachelor’s new off-leash dog park to let people test the company’s new harness system allowing a skier to be pulled along behind a dog.

Skijoring, as it’s called, doesn’t always come as naturally to dogs as might be assumed, said Greg Freyberg of Ruff Wear. After years of being scolded not to tug at their leash, getting strapped into a harness and being instructed to pull can be a bit confusing, he said.

Meagan Greenough, of Bend, discovered this the hard way when dog Cider doubled back around her, tangling the tow line around her legs and pulling her to the ground.

Greenough, 35, lay sprawled on the snow laughing as Cider wandered up, sticking his nose in her face

Identity Continued from B1 The defense states that because Myers’ detention at NORCOR was in accordance with Wasco County Circuit Court orders, the defendants are entitled to judicial or quasi-judicial immunity. Judicial immunity protects judges and those acting on the orders of judges from lawsuits stemming from their official conduct.

Attorneys for Myers and Deschutes County did not return calls seeking comment.

to investigate. “She gave me lots of kisses to make sure I was feeling OK,” Greenough said.

First-time skijorer Nichole Bushey, of Bend, said her dog, Mansfield, seemed to be figuring out how to tow her on her snowboard after a wobbly start. “It was fun. He was really excited. He was wagging his tail like crazy,” she said.

Bushey, 24, said while she’d like to try skijoring again, the budget for her dog’s outdoor toys is nearly depleted. “We just bought the Ruff Wear backpack for Christmas, so we’ll see if Manny gets another expensive present soon,” she said.

SPOTLIGHT Seniors sought for photo contest The Central Oregon Council on Aging is seeking photos of older Central Oregonians for its second annual “50+ Beautiful Central Oregon Seniors” photo contest.

Contest entries should be emailed to the agency’s office at admin@councilonaging .org and will be accepted until Feb. 29.

Winners, who will receive a yet-to-be-determined prize and have their work published in the upcoming Connections magazine, will be announced in April. For more information, email the agency’s office or call 541-678-5483.

Dinner gives new view on hunger Central Oregon Community College students and staff are invited to participate in an Oxfam America Hunger Banquet, a free dinner that explores the inequities of living conditions around the world, at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the college’s Wille Hall. No RSVP is required.

The experience intends to educate COCC students and faculty about poverty. Here’s how it works: Guests randomly draw tickets that assign them to different income levels, based on the latest statistics about the number of people living in poverty. Depending on their assigned income level, some receive a filling, nutritious dinner at a nicely set table, while others eat a simple meal or share sparse portions of rice and water while seated on the floor.

The nonprofit organization Oxfam, which combats poverty and injustice worldwide, sponsors the event, which lasts about an hour and a half.

While not all guests will leave with full stomachs, many gain a new perspective on the root causes of hunger and poverty, according to Oxfam. And, some may feel motivated to do something to help, according to the website www.oxfamamerica. org/hungerbanquet.

Since 1974, hundreds of thousands of people have hosted Oxfam America hunger banquets in homes, campuses, schools, and places of worship around the country, according to the organization.

Recycling raises money for band The Mountain View High School band plans a recycling drive from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. The drive will be held at the high school.

Proceeds will support the band’s Japanese Exchange Program.

Recyclable cans and bottles with a redeemable deposit will be accepted.

• Oregon State University is just a starting point for exploring the city of Corvallis

By John Gottberg Anderson For the Bulletin

CORVALLIS —

I

was surprised to learn last week that this mid-Willamette Valley town, best known as the home of Oregon State

University, has been ranked as the most innovative city in the United States.

The assessment followed a study published by a quartet of social scientists in the Public Library of Science’s online journal, so I perhaps should not have been startled.

After all, Corvallis is the place where the world’s first transparent transistor and its original inkjet printer were invented — at OSU and Hewlett-Packard, respectively. It is the town where chemist Linus Pauling started his Nobel prize-winning career. It’s the place where the modern maraschino cherry was developed by food scientists.

It’s a city that has more patents issued each year, on a per capita basis, than any other.

And it’s the home of national royalty of a sort.

OSU basketball coach Craig Robinson is the brother of First Lady Michelle Obama.

World War II veteran Vernon Baker is one of the subjects of “Black Impact: African American History in the Far West,” an exhibit opening Saturday at the High Desert Museum.

When “Black Impact: African American History in the Far West” opens Saturday at the High Desert Museum in Bend, visitors will encounter some rare artifacts of a seldom remembered history, says Linda Rhine, High Desert Museum’s curator of education programs.

“The story of African Americans’ impact on the growth of the West is rarely

told,” Rhine says. “These stories are an integral part of the High Desert, and now we have a chance to admire the accomplishments of people who have often been invisible in the history of the West.”

For Rhine, there’s a personal component to the exhibit as well.

“I have an adopted daughter who is African-American, and besides moving up here to Bend, we have spent our

Woman is put out with man who won’t fix what’s broken Dear Abby: My live-in boyfriend is a total ditz when it comes to challenges. He claims it’s because he’s a city boy, but I think it’s just plain laziness.

When something needs to be repaired, he looks the other way and expects me to be “Miss Fix-It.� It doesn’t matter what’s wrong — the car, the washer, plumbing, even issues with bills. It becomes my job.

I want him to challenge himself sometimes. I’ve never known a man who won’t venture into something that’s not familiar. Is there anything I can say or do to let him know I want him to help, or am I stuck with a male damsel in distress? — Role-Reversal in Bridgeport, Conn.

Dear Role-Reversal: I’m sure you have told your boyfriend more than once that you want him to help. If he is as lacking in mechanical and organizational ability, as you have implied, perhaps it’s better that you be the fixer than have him destroy whatever needs to be repaired.

Because you feel you’re being taken advantage of, have him call a repairman and pay for the service calls. And while you’re at it, start a list of the positive things he adds to your relationship. If you come up with a minus instead of a plus, perhaps you should throw him back and keep fishing.

Dear Abby: My niece, “Sara,� is considerably overweight at the age of 9. I’m becoming very concerned that she’ll become diabetic by the time she’s in her teens. She has a horrible habit of literally shoveling food into her mouth as fast as she can, sometimes with both hands. She’s obviously eating too quickly to stop when she’s full. Now that she’s no longer a little girl, what was a bad habit has turned into disgusting table manners.

I live far away, so I have few opportunities to suggest that she slow down or “take princess bites.� Her mother is very resentful of criticism, and she’s allowing Sara her

TODAY DEAR A B B Y bad habit. I’m worried not only about my niece’s poor table manners, but also her health.

Any suggestions? — Worried Aunt, Tupelo, Miss.

Dear Worried Aunt: Is Sara’s mother obese? If so, the problem may be not only the speed with which your niece is eating but also what kinds of foods she’s being served at home.

Be smart and don’t make this about disgusting table manners. Because you’re concerned about your niece’s health, talk to BOTH parents and ask what Sara’s pediatrician says about her weight and what possible solutions have been suggested. But do not make it appear that you’re criticizing their parenting or they’ll shut you out.

Dear Abby: People occasionally tell me I look like a famous person. They can be mere acquaintances, people I don’t know or people I don’t want to know. I’ve never seen the resemblance, and since this famous person is known for poor judgment and bad behavior I regard it as an insult.

People seem shocked when I respond with an insult. How do they expect me to respond?

I can’t imagine walking up to someone and saying, “You look like ‌â€? even if it were true. This is finally starting to bother me. How should I respond? — Not Villainous — Yet Dear Not Villainous (Yet): People may be shocked when you answer them with an insult because they were not trying to be insulting. Rather than become defensive, try this: Smile and say, “You know, I hear that all the time.

But I assure you we are not related — and I don’t act like — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012 You are about accomplishment this year. If that is what feels good to you, great, but try not to judge people in the same way. They have other priorities. A partner and/or those close to you could be very difficult unless you accept the differences that exist between you. Stay even and centered through good diet, exercise and health management. If you are single, you fall into a very intense relationship. If you are attached, the two of you create far more sparks than in recent years. CANCER wants you to take care of yourself.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You finally channel all your frustrated energy into a positive outlet. Somehow you get your message heard, but on the other hand, so does the other party. This person lets you know what he or she thinks. Get into teamwork, and give up the role of crusader. Tonight: Be happy to be home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You finally figure out how to get a project off the ground.

You might have been challenged by others’ reactions lately. Finally, someone decides to pitch in. Get past “mine is the only way� type of thinking. Much will change as a result.

Tonight: Hang out happily.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could go on a spending spree in the name of your home and lifestyle. You need to play Ralph Nader and do some price comparison. Domestic matters are accentuated. Tonight: The unexpected appeals to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Whatever your plans, you finally get them going. Honor a need to move around a lot, which is innate with your sign. If you stay put, you might find your frustration building.

What better time to sign up for a yoga or Pilates class? Tonight: At a neighborhood haunt.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH Stand back and gather more information. If you feel lucky and can afford to take a risk, go for it. Whether your luck points to a call you have been avoiding or buying a lottery ticket, it makes no difference. Keep your own counsel. Tonight: You need a good night’s sleep.

C3

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Take action early in the day. You know what you must accomplish or with whom you must get together. Free up as much extra time as you want. A friend makes it clear that he or she would like you to join him or her. Tonight: Pretend tomorrow isn’t Monday.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Take a stand if you must, but expect to lead and accept extra responsibility. An older relative or friend calls. This person really misses you. Think about how you would feel in his or her place, and you will know what to say. Tonight: A must appearance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Read between the lines. How you see a situation could be much different from many others. Who do you have to please anyway? Ask yourself that question. Let another push as much as he or she wants; you will always remain your own person.

Tonight: Allow creativity to flow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A close friend or loved one invites you to join in on a key project.

Your ability to relate on a totally different level emerges, pointing to a better relationship. An authority figure becomes inordinately difficult.

Tonight: Only with a favorite person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Defer to others. Provide the acceptance they need in order to feel comfortable. On some level, you could be startled by what others reveal. Go down the path of being nonreactive. Detach. Tonight: Off to the movies, or invite others over for dinner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Whatever you have been putting off and might need a helping hand to complete, the time is now.

Whether in the mood to get the house cleared of the winter celebrations or just organizing closets, it’s your call. Visit with a child or loved one.

Tonight: Go along with another person’s request.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You cannot help but smile as your imagination takes an interpersonal situation to another level. Whether you choose to express everything that is on your mind is up to you. This person could be very touchy, and the less said the better.

Tonight: Let your hair down. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

OREGON CASINO TOUR

Corvallis Continued from C1 OSU dates its history to 1868, when Corvallis State Agricultural College was chartered on the foundation of the earlier Corvallis Academy.

After it became Oregon Agricultural College (OAC) in 1890, the famed Olmsted brothers, Boston-based landscape architects, developed the first campus master plan, laying out handsome buildings along wide, tree-lined streets.

The school was renamed Oregon State University in 1961.

The oldest existing building on the 400-acre campus is Benton Hall, erected in 1887. As it is now home to the Department of Music, passers-by often hear melodious sounds wafting from its upper floors, beneath an iconic clock tower.

Nearby is the handsome Valley Library, built in 1963 and expanded in 1999 with a donation from alumnus F. Wayne Valley.

But visitors may be less interested in its collection of 1.4 million volumes than in its exhibition on Linus Pauling (1901-1994), perhaps the university’s most famous alum.

Located in the Special Collections section of the library’s fifth floor, the display features a time line of Pauling’s career and travels — most of them with his college sweetheart and wife of 58 years, Ava Helen. On request, student aides will unlock a reproduction of the scientist’s faculty office at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), complete with an actual chalkboard and replicas of his two Nobel prizes: chemistry in 1954 and peace in 1963.

Born in Portland, Pauling graduated from OAC in 1922 with a degree in chemical engineering. He is credited with discovering the alpha helix, and his work on chemical bonds, sickle-cell anemia and especially vitamin C — which he championed as a prevenOSU’s Wave Research Laboratory, sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation, seeks a better understanding of tidal waves and other marine phenomena.

Twice a year, the general public is invited on 45-minute tours of the lab to see its 342-foot-long wave flume.

OSU has reproduced the office of Linus Pauling as it appeared at the California Institute of Technology, where he taught for decades. The chalkboard is an original, but the two Nobel Prize medallions on his desk — for chemistry in 1954 and peace in 1963 — are replicas.

man, at least not in the world of Mark Newport. A Michigan-based fiber artist, Newport has a one-man show on exhibit in OSU’s Fairbanks Gallery. “Alter Egos” features hand-knit superhero costumes and embroidered comic-book covers in the main entrance hall of the university’s art department, just across 26th Street from the Memorial Union student center.

More on campus A bust of Linus Pauling (19011994) stands outside the Special Collections rotunda on the fifth floor of OSU’s Valley Library. A Portland native and 1922 university graduate, Pauling is renowned for his discovery of the alpha helix and his work on chemical bonds and vitamin C.

tive remedy for everything from the common cold to cancer — led him to worldwide renown. He was also famed for his stand against nuclear arms, a position that had the support of such prominent scientists as Albert Einstein and Albert Schweitzer.

Pauling may have been a superhero in his time, but he wasn’t Superman or Spider-

Elsewhere on the OSU campus, there’s plenty to see from the outside, not so much from the inside — unless your 2012 visit coincides with Mom’s Day (April 14) or Dad’s Day (Nov. 19). On these days alone, many schools and departments offer open houses with private tours of their facilities.

It may be worth a special trip at those times just to get a 45-minute tour of the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. A tsunami wave basin and 342-foot-long wave flume, the longest in North America, enable scientists to better understand the generation and impact of tidal waves.

Better understanding of these natural phenomena will lead to improved preparedness, reducing the risk of disasters like the recent ones in Japan and Southeast Asia.

The OSU program is partially supported by the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation of the National Science Foundation.

Kitty-corner from this facility, at 35th Street and Jefferson Way, the OSU Radiation Center contains a nuclear reactor that serves state and federal programs as well as student and faculty research. Like the Wave Research Lab, it’s open to visits only two or three times a year.

Headquarters of the OSU engineering program are at the Kelley Engineering Center, on Campus Way east of 26th Street. Opened in 2005, the four-story, $45 million building was certified LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council, making it the first academic engineering building in the United States to be so honored. Ample natural light

and ventilation enable it to cut energy costs by more than 40 percent over the norm.

Agriculture, veterinary medicine and the food sciences are also important elements of the OSU curriculum.

The Agricultural and Life Sciences Building (Campus Way near 27th Street) is a major campus landmark; dairy, horse and sheep research centers are located one-half to three miles west of the main campus via Harrison Avenue.

But more visitors, perhaps, are interested in the adjunct Department of Food Science & Technology in Wiegand Hall (30th Street at Campus Way). A display case at the building’s entrance introduces a half-dozen graduates who have gone on to success in various fields, including Doug Kutella, class of ’99, co-owner of Central Oregon’s Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. The Oregon Wine Research Institute and Pilot Plant Brewery are located within Wiegand Hall, and may be visited by special arrangement.

Athletic facilities are mainly located on the south side of campus off 26th Street. These include Reser Stadium, home of the OSU football and track teams, and Gill Coliseum, where athletic offices ring the home court of the men’s and women’s basketball teams.

A little to the northeast, off Washington Way, is Coleman Field, where the Oregon State baseball team — national collegiate champions in 2006 and 2007 — plays its home games.

Corvallis’ largest hotel, with 153 rooms, the Hilton Garden Inn is directly across Western Boulevard from Reser Stadium.

Riverfront Commemorative Park stretches for nine blocks along the west bank of the Willamette River, beside First Street in downtown Corvallis. The park hosts a farmers market twice a week from April to November but welcomes pedestrians and bicyclists any time of year.

From previous page Managed by Davis Smith, an OSU alum who was formerly sales and marketing director at the Seventh Mountain Resort and Bend’s Oxford Hotel, it is the only hotel in Benton County with its own restaurant and lounge.

Downtown Corvallis The hub of municipal Corvallis is directly east of the OSU campus, on the west bank of the Willamette River.

Its landmark building is the 1888 Benton County Courthouse, located on Northwest Fourth Street between Monroe and Jackson avenues.

The oldest courthouse in Oregon still used for its original purpose, the four-story structure has a prominent clock tower whose bells and carillon help downtowners track the time of day.

U.S. Highways 20 and 99 West run through the center of Corvallis — north and east bound as Third Street, south and west bound as Fourth Street. From Western Avenue north to Harrison Avenue, through a series of cross streets named for early American presidents, downtown merchants welcome shoppers in search of wares as diverse as ceramic art, musical instruments and lingerie.

This is also where visitors find the city’s best restaurants.

Luc, chef Ian Hutchings’ intimate, southern French-influenced dining room, may be the finest of a small but strong se-

A dinner entree of pork with grilled polenta and braised collards, enjoyed with a glass of pinot noir, makes a fine meal at Luc. Downtown Corvallis has several fine-dining establishments, including this French-influenced room and others offering Latin and Pacific Rim cuisines.

lection. Del Alma Restaurant & Bar, a multitiered restaurant with a Willamette River view, showcases contemporary Latin flavors. Magenta specializes in Pacific Rim tastes, including a small-bite selection of freshly made Chinese dim sum. Also excellent, with more familyfriendly prices, are the Broken Yolk Cafe, the Old World Deli and the Block 15 Restaurant and Brewery.

The most picturesque stretch of downtown is Riverfront Commemorative Park, which stretches along First Street for nine blocks. From mid-April through mid-November, this is the home of the twice-weekly Corvallis Farmers Markets.

row park, but it’s lively any time of year, as pedestrians and bicyclists meander around public sculptures beside the tree-lined Willamette.

In summer, patios outside the Flat Tail Brewery, the Big River Restaurant, and the jointly operated Cloud 9 restaurant and Downward Dog pub bring extra energy to this strip into the late evening hours.

Parks and rec But Corvallis is more than a collection of buildings. It’s also a beehive of activity for outdoors lovers.

Spencer Newell, a longtime Bend resident and cycling enthusiast who moved to Corvallis last October, said he has found his new residence to of-

fer even more varied terrain for mountain biking than his former home in Central Oregon.

Newell recommended that I check out the Bald Hill Natural Area and the McDonald Forest, both just a few miles west of Corvallis. I took my dog to Bald Hill, a City of Corvallis park where a 1½-mile trail offers a corridor through hundreds of acres of traditional farmland, scrub woodland and riparian wetland. I could imagine the cycling potential even more at the McDonald Forest, best approached from the OSU College of Forestry’s Peavy Arboretum, six miles northwest of Corvallis.

The liveliest urban park is Avery Park, a 75-acre swath of green just south of downtown Corvallis and the OSU campus. Bordered on the north by the Marys River just before it flows into the Willamette, its features include rose and rhododendron gardens, a nature education center, extensive picnic grounds and a historic steam engine. All told, Corvallis Parks & Recreation administers 37 individual parks and undeveloped reserves.

The city is also a paradise for bird watchers. The Pacific Flyway extends through the Willamette Valley, making this region an important one for migratory birds. There are three wildlife refuges in the midvalley region; nearest to Corvallis is the Finley National Wildlife Refuge, 12 miles south. Created as a wintering area for Canada geese, it has become a sanctuary for falcons and egrets, as well as for elk and many species of indigenous plants.

Finally, Corvallis and its surrounding Benton County are the home to well over a dozen vineyards and wineries famed for their pinot noir and other vintages. Among the best known are Tyee, 10 miles southwest via Greenberry; Harris Bridge, 11 miles west via Philomath; Benton-Lane, 19 miles south near Monroe; and Airlie, 20 miles north near Adair Village.

Grab a glass — preferably an orange one — and raise a toast to the Beaver Nation.

Museum Continued from C1 For one thing, Oregon was once “the only state that had an exclusion law on our constitution,” Rhine says. The 19thcentury law prohibited black settlement of the Oregon territory, says Rhine.

“They never really enforced the law, but just the understanding of the law was enough to encourage AfricanAmerican settlers to not come to Oregon,” she says.

The law was revoked in 1926 thanks to the efforts of people such as Beatrice Morrow Cannady (1890-1974), who served as editor of the The Advocate, Portland’s black newspaper of the early 20th century and, among other accomplishments, battled to prevent the controversial 1915 film “The Birth of a Nation” from screening there.

The black population of the West began to grow in the 1940s, Rhine explains, when the Great Migration occurred, and African Americans worked in the growing shipyards of Portland, Seattle,

“And when they did that, all these wonderful cultural things started happening. …

You see jazz clubs popping up.

You see churches popping up,” Rhine says.

In addition to the broader picture, “Black Impact” “tells the stories of the successes of African Americans that have really triumphed through adversity,” says Rhine, who

Sun never quite sets on work of Ed Wood Tim Burton’s finely textured 1994 film, “Ed Wood,” would seem to have dramatized nearly everything the world needs to know about that schlocky filmmaker.

But at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, last month two earnest and affable men, Jason Insalaco and Jonathan Harris, presented what they called the only existing complete print of a 22-minute television pilot that could ignite new appreciation for Wood. Called “Final Curtain,” this odd, minimalist pilot was written, produced and directed by Ed Wood in 1957.

The story of its discovery turns out to be almost as bizarre as the pilot itself.

For one thing, the film was not nearly as lost as the two men had thought. This reporter’s calls to several film collectors led to the UCLA Film & Television Archive, one of the largest moving-image libraries in the world. Kelly Graml, a spokeswoman for the archive, said a print of “Final Curtain” was deposited in 2010 by a donor who chose to remain anonymous.

That was unknown to a rowdy audience at Slamdance, the self-described rebel festival held concurrently with Sundance. With considerable hoopla, Slamdance unveiled this “new” work from Wood, a director it considers an inspiration for DIY filmmakers who, as he did, wear numerous hats on their productions.

“Final Curtain” was received as well as might be expected for an Ed Wood film.

Audience members broke into laughter and even applause — although often at the film, rather than with it.

The pilot pivots around a middle-aged actor (James Moore) wandering an empty theater after dark, while his shifting fears are narrated in hyperbolic voice-over by the radio personality Dudley Manlove. The actor is haunted by the theater’s creepy sounds and eerie sights, including the sudden appearance of a female “vampire” who is very much alive — and needy.

The restoration took a year and included a film scan, checking the film’s sprockets and other processes to ensure the old print was healthy enough for projection.

wanted to focus on people who aren’t necessarily well-known.

The exhibit includes Cannady and other individuals, such as Col. Charles Young, the first African-American colonel in the U.S. military and one-time superintendent of Sequoia National Park in California, Rhine says. “He was absolutely the coolest guy.”

Then there’s Patricia Bath, the first African-American

ophthalmologist in Los Angeles, and the first African-American woman to have a medical patent, for a laser eye surgical treatment she developed.

“We just don’t hear these stories,” says Rhine. “African Americans today … talk about the people who came before them; they’re standing on their shoulders. If you hear Colin Powell talk, he says, ‘I’m standing on the shoulders of

the people who came before me.’ So that’s the end of the exhibit. It culminates in this section called, ‘Standing on their Shoulders.’ ” “The stories are just (of) some really amazing people who have done phenomenal things, and oftentimes their stories aren’t told in history books and are forgotten,” she adds. “Now it’s so fun to just shine a light on them and tell these great, neat stories (about) their accomplishments.”

A number of related programs will be held at the museum during February, including a jazz club from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. All ages will be able to play instruments including drums, guitar, cymbals and shakers. (Free with museum admission; see “If you go” for details.)

The museum is also promoting two lectures on the subject of race. Both events are free and will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Wille Hall, in the Campus Center of Central Oregon Community College’s Bend campus.

The first will be given Thursday by Willamette University

professor Emily Drew, speaking on the topic “White Out? The Future of Racial Diversity in Oregon.”

On Feb. 27, Portland State University adjunct professor Walidah Imarisha will lead a discussion of “A Hidden History: Why Aren’t There More Black People in Oregon?”

“We’re going to explore some key points in the history of Oregon. Not just separating it out as black history, but really seeing how concepts of race and identity have shaped the Oregon that we lived in today,” Imarisha told The Bulletin.

When she conducted the same program recently at a Portland library, 80 people showed up, some of whom had to be turned away due to crowding.

“I think folks are really interested in exploring more about our communities here in Oregon,” she says. “I think folks understand this is a way to not only learn more about the history, but to have conversations that we don’t usually have with one another.”

NFL NFL: SUPER BOWL XLVI RB Martin leads Hall of Fame class INDIANAPOLIS — Curtis Martin has gone from the mean streets of Pittsburgh to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The star running back with the Patriots and Jets for 11 seasons was one of six players elected Saturday to the shrine. Martin once disliked playing the game, but used it to escape a neighborhood where his grandmother was murdered.

“When I get awarded something like the Hall of Fame, it’s almost foreign to me,” said Martin, the NFL’s No. 4 career rusher. “This wasn’t something I planned on doing. Football is something I did so I didn’t end up jailed or dead.”

Martin and four linemen were elected to the hall, along with one senior committee choice. He is joined by Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Willie Roaf, Dermontti Dawson and senior selection Jack Butler.

Jerome Bettis, Cris Carter and Bill Parcells were among the finalists who didn’t make it.

Martin made it for his consistency and durability, rushing for 14,101 and 90 touchdowns. He rushed for at least 1,000 yards in each of his first 10 seasons, the first three with New England and the others with the Jets.

Doleman and Kennedy were sackmasters from the defensive line, Doleman at end and Kennedy at tackle. Doleman had 150 1⁄2 sacks in his 15 seasons, mostly with Minnesota, and was one of the prototype agile yet powerful pass rushers who dominate the game today.

Kennedy was a force inside, both as a run stopper and in threatening quarterbacks. The 1992 Defensive Player of the Year made eight Pro Bowls, had 58 sacks — an unusually high total for a tackle — and spent his entire 11-season career with Seattle.

Roaf spent one season at right tackle, then the rest of his 13 seasons on the left side, making 11 Pro Bowls.

Dawson made seven Pro Bowls as the Steelers’ center, that rare snapper who also could block defensive players one on one. Butler also played for the Steelers as a cornerback from 1951-59, picking off 52 passes, at the time second most in NFL history.

INDIANAPOLIS — The coaches, Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin, again will have an Xs-and-Os duel. The quarterbacks, Tom Brady and Eli Manning, once more will battle for passing supremacy. It will be a highly anticipated Super Bowl rematch when the New England Patriots and New York Giants square off here this evening at Lucas Oil Stadium.

But it’s not really a rematch at all. The cornerstones of these teams — Belichick and Brady for the Patriots, Coughlin and Manning for the Giants — remain from the memorable game four years ago.

Lava Bears take two team wins at Bachelor

Cowgirls hit late free throw for victory over Cougars

Bulletin staff report MOUNT BACHELOR — Bend High swept the boys and girls team competition at the Oregon School Ski Association giant slalom alpine races Saturday on Mt. Bachelor’s Cliffhanger run.

Both Lava Bears teams recorded combined scores of 48 points en route to first place in their respective events.

In the boys competition, Summit took second place with 40 points, followed by Redmond (30 points) and Mountain View (14 points).

The Storm also captured runner-up honors in the girls team event with 40 points. Sisters finished third with 30 points, and was followed by Redmond (26 points).

Bend’s five fastest boys placed among the top nine skiers on Saturday, including individual champion Keenan Seidel (2 minutes, 7.69 seconds), third-place finisher Mitchell Cutter (2:09.47) and fourth-place finisher Jakub Sestak (2:11.58). Summit racers accounted for five of the top 10 finishers, including Trevor Olsen (second, 2:09.40) and Will Mayer (fifth, 2:12.22).

Lava Bears skier Elinor Wilson was the girls runner-up (2:17.51), with Shelby Cutter (2:19.60) and Kiki NakamuraKoyama (2:22.14) finishing fifth and sixth, respectively for Bend High. Mountain View’s Kate Puddy took top individual honors (2:12.73), and Summit was paced by third-place finisher Jordan Caine (2:17.67) and fourth-place finisher Lucie Pepper (2:18.51).

CORRECTION A story headlined “Lava Bears top Cougs in wrestling” that appeared in Thursday’s Bulletin on Page D4 contained incorrect information. Bend High’s Greg Prescott pinned Mountain View’s Tanner Combs in the dual’s 145-pound match.

The Bulletin regrets the errors.

Bulletin staff report PRINEVILLE — Crook County forward Makayla Lindburg stepped up to the free-throw line with four seconds remaining in the Cowgirls’ Intermountain Hybrid girls basketball contest Saturday against Mountain View.

The score was tied, 34-34.

Lindburg, who scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the game, made one of two free throws to give Crook County a 35-34 home victory. The Cowgirls are now 13-8 overall and 3-0 against Mountain View this season.

“The game was even all the way through,” Cowgirls coach David Johnson said. “Both teams really competed.”

After three quarters, the Cougars (9-11 overall) held a 26-24 advantage. But with four minutes to go in the final period, Crook County guard Brooke Buswell, who scored a team-high 11 points, made two quick baskets to give the Cowgirls the lead. Two minutes later, Emma Platner answered for the Cougars with six of her 11 points to put Mountain View back on top.

With eight seconds left in the game and the score tied 34-34, Mountain View missed a shot, secured the offensive rebound and committed a traveling violation.

Crook County inbounded the ball to Lindburg, who was subsequently fouled.

As a team, Crook County made just 10 field goals but connected on 14 of its 24 free throws. Mountain View went zero of five on its foul shots.

The Cowgirls play at Bend on Tuesday, while Mountain View hosts Redmond the same day.

• Portland defeats Denver, D5

PORTLAND — LaMarcus Aldridge is direct: He really wants to be an AllStar and he feels he’s played well enough to deserve it.

But in the same breath, the Trail Blazers forward says what’s ultimately more important is his team’s success as a whole.

Aldridge’s conflict — striking the delicate balance between humility and bravado — shows how he’s matured since he arrived in Portland nearly six years ago. He’s gone from the softspoken rookie from Texas playing in Brandon Roy’s shadow to the confident leader of the Blazers.

“I want to win,” Aldridge said. “I feel like if you get too

enticed into that individual stuff, it can take a toll on you. You have to be focusing on your team, and on winning. You need to keep your focus on the big picture.”

But making the All-Star team?

“It would be nice,” he said.

“Of course I would like to be an All-Star. Who wouldn’t?”

Aldridge is averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists before Saturday’s game, putting him among the top players in the league.

He is a candidate for the U.S. team that will play in the London Olympics this summer.

From there, Mason Raymond and Roberto Luongo took over. Raymond scored the lone goal in the shootout and Luongo stopped all three shots as the Canucks rallied for a 3-2 win over the struggling Colorado Avalanche on Saturday.

Ducks fall in close one with Buffaloes

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press

BOULDER, Colo. — Nate Tomlinson thought he had cost Colorado the game.

His errant free throw with 17 seconds loomed large as Oregon’s Olu Ashaolu prepared to complete a three-point play at the other end with 7.6 seconds left and the score tied at 71.

Then, Tomlinson got both the ball and the call.

Ashaolu missed the bonus, and Andre Roberson corralled the rebound for Colorado, which didn’t have a timeout left. Tomlinson took the outlet pass and raced to the rim, where E.J. Singler hit him on his left elbow with a second left.

Tomlinson sank the first foul shot before deliberately bricking the second to give Colorado a 7271 win over the Ducks Saturday night.

“I wouldn’t have been able to

OREGON BASKETBALL sleep until next week if I would have missed that one,” said Tomlinson, who sped toward the hoop with the intention of scoring a basket, not drawing a foul.

Tomlinson said if he had tried to deliberately draw the whistle and lean into his defender, the official “probably wouldn’t have called it.

But if I try to score, and he stops me from scoring, I think they have to call the foul.”

“The ref made a good call,” Tomlinson concluded.

Singler thought so, too.

“The point guard made a good play, got to the rim, attacked, and the ref ... good call,” Singler said.

Said Tomlinson: “He played pretty good (defense), he just caught my elbow at the end.”

Singler figured he had no choice.

“I felt I did the right thing,” he said. “The kid made a good play.”

Oregon coach Dana Altman was hoping for a non-call and overtime, but said the whistle at the end was just “part of the game.”

Buffaloes guard Askia Booker fouled Ashaolu with 7.6 seconds left as he made his eighth bucket.

But Ashaolu went just one for six from the stripe and missed the one that would have put Oregon ahead by a point.

Tomlinson’s game-winner atoned for a miss on the second of two free throws with 17 seconds remaining that left the Buffs with a 71-69 lead.

“I kind of threw us in the deep end missing” that one, Tomlinson said. “So, I knew I had to do something at the end.”

Before Tomlinson put the finishing touches on the win, the freshman guard duo of Booker and

Spencer Dinwiddie kept the Buffaloes in it, along with Roberson, who collected a career-best seven blocked shots and pulled down 11 rebounds.

Booker’s 17 points and Dinwiddie’s 16 helped the Buffaloes (16-7, 8-3) remain perfect at home in their first season in the Pac-12, improving to 7-0 in league play in Boulder.

Devoe Joseph led the Ducks (16-7, 7-4) with 18 points, Ashaolu scored 17 and Singler added 13 points and 12 rebounds.

The Ducks, who lost for just the second time in six league games on the road, had not played in Boulder since Dec. 2, 1983, when they lost by a bucket. They also lost in their only other trip here, in 1960.

The Buffaloes missed all eight of their three-point shots in the first half but stayed in the game by hitting 15 of 16 free throws and went into the locker room trailing 37-33.

Oregon State forward Eric Moreland, right, and Utah forward Dijon Farr dive for a loose ball during the first half of Saturday’s game in Salt Lake City. Oregon State took a 76-58 victory.

Beaversgetroadwin over Utes The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — A potent offense has been a signature element for Oregon State this season. The main problem for the Beavers has been finding ways to slow down the offense of their opponent.

Utah offered no such challenges on Saturday.

Oregon State registered 16 steals and scored 23 points off 22 Utes turnovers en route to a 7658 victory.

“We really pay attention to points off turnovers,” Beavers coach Craig Robinson said.

“That’s a stat we want to try and optimize every single game. That way we don’t have to rely on our half-court offense so much.”

Jared Cunningham scored 20 points and Devon Collier added 14 for Oregon State (15-8, 5-6 Pac-12), which won for the fourth time in its past five games. Joe Burton chipped in eight points, 11 rebounds and six steals.

Cedric Martin led the Utes (5-18, 2-9) with 19 points and Jason Washburn had one of his best games of the season with 15 points, eight blocked shots and six rebounds.

Oregon State found ways to establish dominance around the basket from the opening tip.

In the first half, the Beavers scored 26 points in the paint while limiting Utah to eight, and outrebounded the Utes 22-15. By the end of the game, Oregon State won the rebounding battle, 39-30, and scored 50 points in the paint compared with 24 for Utah.

“They just took it to us,” Utes coach Larry Krystkowiak said. “They’ve got a good basketball team. I think they are considerably better than their record. They’ve had some tough, close losses and we just didn’t have an answer for their pressure.”

Cunningham pointed to Oregon State’s commitment to playing aggressive defense from the opening tip as a difference maker.

“It set the tone,” Cunningham said. “We got a lot of steals in the first half and some easy buckets. Going into halftime, we had a comfortable lead so we didn’t want to lose that. We just wanted to come out in the second half and just play harder.”

Oregon State took advantage of a series of turnovers and bad shots from the Utes late in the first half to take control of the game. The Beavers forced 13 turnovers before halftime and scored 13 points off of those miscues, leading to a 38-25 lead at the break.

Utah trailed by a point when Cedric Martin scored a layup to make it 16-15. The Beavers then converted Utah turnovers into baskets on three straight possessions to fuel a 13-0 run and take a 29-15 lead. Cunningham accounted for a pair of layups during the run and capped it off with a pair of free throws.

Once the Utes fell into that hole, they strug-

PAC-12 ROUNDUP gled to climb out of it. Utah scored just one field goal — a layup from Washburn that made it 3121 — in the final 9:26 of the half. After Washburn’s basket, Ahmad Starks and Joe Burton made back-to-back steals in the backcourt and converted those into layups to put the Beavers up 35-21.

Utah came out strong in the second half, twice getting within eight points on a threepointer from Martin and a put-back from Washburn. With Utah trailing 46-37, Cunningham and Collier each scored a pair of layups — two of which came off steals — to push Oregon State’s lead to double digits again at 54-37.

The Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. — After a bunch of off-target games, Marcus Denmon couldn’t miss. Especially at the finish.

The senior guard hit three three-pointers in the final 2:05, the last for the go-ahead points, and No. 4 Missouri scored the game’s final 11 points to rally past No. 8 Kansas 74-71 in Game 1 of what could be the schools’ final border showdown Saturday night.

“Marcus made three huge shots,” said teammate Kim English, who added 18 points.

“They were huge plays. Kansas didn’t let up at all.”

Denmon scored 29 points, two off his career best, and ended a long-range shooting slump with a career-best six three-pointers in nine attempts.

“Marcus worked his tail off all week,” coach Frank Haith said.

The go-ahead three-pointer came with 56 seconds to go for a one-point lead. Michael Dixon added a pair of free throws with 9.8 seconds left after an offensive foul on Tyshawn Taylor and Kansas’ Elijah Johnson missed badly on a shot to tie it at the buzzer.

“The most important thing I remember hearing was Kimmie saying, ‘We’re going to win this game,’” Denmon said. “I understood how much it meant to him to say that. We’re the senior leaders and I felt we had to come out and execute.”

Missouri (21-2, 8-2 Big 12) beat Kansas for only the second time in the past 12 meetings, and the Tigers’ impending departure for the SEC added spice to the final conference meeting in Columbia, Mo. Thomas Robinson had 25 points and 13 rebounds for Kansas (18-5, 8-2), but the closing minutes were anguish for coach Bill Self. The Jayhawks were scoreless the final 3:20 after Taylor dunked for a 71-63 lead.

“We let up on the gas and they hit shots. Big shots,” said Robinson, his voice choked with emotion. “We blew that

TOP 25 ROUNDUP game. I still give them credit for making shots.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Levin opens big lead in Phoenix Open The Associated Press SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

— Spencer Levin passed on Phoenix Open title sponsor Waste Management’s greenout, wearing a simple blackand-white outfit.

He didn’t exactly soften his carbon footprint, either, leaving a trail of cigarette smoke and butts in his wake as he increased his big lead at TPC Scottsdale.

“You mean guys in the crowd?” he asked when questioned about fans giving him grief for smoking on the course. “Oh, yeah, (they get on me) every time, but I enjoy it (smoking),” Levin said.

“They were asking to bum them from me, too.”

He has lit up the Stadium Course so far, too, stringing together rounds of 65, 63 and 68 to open a six-stroke lead in pursuit of a breakthrough PGA Tour victory.

He wasn’t quite as sharp with his belly putter as he was the first two days, but remained firmly in control in front of the largest crowd in tournament history, a noisy gathering of 173,210 in perfect conditions.

“It was fun for sure, but I was trying to focus, too,” Levin said about the huge crowd and party atmosphere.

“You don’t get that too often, all those people cheering.”

Levin, five strokes ahead after the completion of the second round Saturday morning, had four birdies and a bogey in the third round to reach 17 under. The bogey on

the par-5 15th was his first since the opening hole of the tournament.

“I felt like I played solid,” Levin said. “I felt like I was in control of my ball most of the day, and yeah, I’m pleased.

I’ve never had a big lead like that starting the day, and I thought I played well. Overall, I’m pleased about it.”

Webb Simpson was 11 under after a 68. At No. 6 in the world, he’s the highest-ranked player in the field.

“I feel good, but my swing is just not really getting in sync,” Simpson said. “I’m missing the ball left and right.

I want to polish that up. But I made a bunch of good swings down the stretch that gave me a lot of confidence.”

The 27-year-old Levin, remembered for a hole-inone and 13th-place tie in the 2004 U.S. Open at Shinnecock while still in school at New Mexico, is trying to win for the first time on the PGA Tour. He came close last year, losing a playoff to Johnson Wagner in the Mayakoba Golf Classic. Last week at Torrey Pines, Levin had a share of the first-round lead after a 62, but followed with rounds of 76, 73 and 72 to tie for 43rd.

Also on Saturday: Lawrie takes lead in Qatar DOHA, Qatar — Paul Lawrie recovered from a penalty for dropping his ball on a marker to shoot a 5-under 67 and take a one-shot lead over Nicolas Colsaerts after the second round of the Qatar Masters. Lawrie took advantage of calmer conditions at Doha Golf Course to make six birdies for an 8-under total of 136. The tournament has been disrupted by wind and shortened to 54 holes.

Ryu leads Australian Ladies GOLD COAST, Australia — U.S. Open champion So Yeon Ryu shot a 3-under-par 69 to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Australian Ladies Masters.

Ryu, who shot an extraordinary 11-under 61 in the second round, had a 54-hole total of 20-under 196 at Royal Pines.

Continued from D1 The All-Star starters, decided by fan voting, were announced on Thursday. The squads include Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant and the like — the NBA’s superstars.

The league’s coaches determine the reserves, which will be announced. Feb. 9.

Aldridge has some hurdles. He comes from a smaller market team and the Blazers are having an inconsistent season, struggling late in several games. His competition includes the formidable Kevin Love and perennial favorite Dirk Nowitzki.

But he has his supporters.

Denver coach George Karl is a vocal fan of the Blazers’ 6-foot-11 star, and Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott heaps on the praise.

“The thing that impresses me is how hard he plays,” Scott said before a game against the Blazers earlier this season. “He’s so long and athletic. He can do it on the post, and he can do it on the perimeter. He runs that floor as well as any big man in this league, and he’s a very unselfish, young, talented basketball player.”

Aldridge’s breakout came last season when Roy — himself a three-time All-Star — was hobbled by recurring knee injuries. The Blazers began to run plays through, and to, Aldridge, who put up big numbers.

After Roy was sidelined on Dec. 15, Aldridge went on a tear leading up to the All-Star break, averaging 26.3 points and 9.7 rebounds.

That included eight games with at least 30 points.

Aldridge said he felt snubbed when the reserves were finally announced last season and his name wasn’t on the list.

“I felt like my resume was perfect,” he said.

Roy and Aldridge were part of the same class in 2006, brought to Portland via draft-day trades. Roy, already a star in the Pacific Northwest at Washington, was the sixth overall pick by Minnesota, while Aldridge, who played at Texas, was the second overall pick by the Chicago Bulls.

From the start, the Blazers were Roy’s team. He excelled in his first year and was the league’s Rookie of the Year.

Aldridge was relegated to a supporting role, something he readily admits, even referring to himself as Robin to Roy’s Batman.

It was clear to everyone who watched last season that Aldridge blossomed in Roy’s

absence. No disrespect to Roy, Aldridge said he made a conscious choice to take over.

“I had to own it,” he said. “I feel like I could’ve been here these six years and still been the quiet guy in the locker room. But I needed to stand up and be a leader.”

He finished last season with a career-best 21.8 points and 8.8 rebounds on average per game.

Aldridge worked hard at home in Texas during the NBA lockout in anticipation of this season, and he was the Blazers’ union rep in labor negotiations.

But when an agreement was reached and training camps were finally opened early in December, Portland was hit by what became known around the organization as “Black Friday.” Roy’s knee problems were insurmountable and he abruptly retired. Former No. 1 draft pick Greg Oden suffered another setback with his oftinjured knees. And Aldridge learned that he needed to undergo a procedure to treat Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome, a condition that can cause an irregular heartbeat.

Focused on his own health, Aldridge was unaware of the shock that rocked Rip City.

“I felt great, I was in great shape,” he said. “So when everything happened, it was like, ‘What?’ ” Aldridge missed most of training camp. When he returned, he was the last man standing in the trio that many had hoped would take the Blazers to an NBA title.

Portland quickly regrouped, bringing in free agents Jamal Crawford and Kurt Thomas to shore up the roster.

Like many of the NBA’s teams, the Blazers’ start to the abbreviated season has been uneven. Portland is 1410 overall, helped by a 11-1 record at the Rose Garden but dragged down by a 3-9 record on the road.

Aldridge believes the team is still adjusting to new personnel and the compact schedule.

However, in another sign of how far he’s come, Aldridge puts the onus for the team’s success on himself.

He said he hasn’t yet played his best, but he feels like he’s coming on.

“I feel like last year I was better. I might have better numbers this season, but I feel like last year down the stretch I was playing really well,” he said. “I want to be dominant. I want to close games. I want to be one of the best power forwards in this league, and I think I’m getting there.”

Portland Trail Blazers’ Kurt Thomas (40) and Denver Nuggets’ Danilo Gallinari (8) battle for a loose ball in the second quarter during Saturday’s game in Portland.

Blazers follow Batum to win over Nuggets The Associated Press PORTLAND — Nicolas Batum woke up hoping his injured knee would allow him to play.

As it happened, he set a Trail Blazers’ record with nine three-pointers and scored a career-high 33 points to help Portland beat the Denver Nuggets 117-97 Saturday night.

“When I came in tonight I was thinking, ‘Don’t hurt my knee, don’t be crazy tonight,’ ” said Batum, who sat out two games with a bruised bone. “I tried to drive to the basket. I could not dunk, I could not even make a layup. All I could do is shoot from the three-point line.”

LaMarcus Aldridge added 29 points for Portland. Gerald Wallace had 17 points and Marcus Camby had 20 rebounds for Portland.

Danilo Gallinari had 20 points and Ty Lawson and Kosta Koufos each added 16 to lead the Nuggets, who have lost four of their past five, including 93-89 Friday night to the Los Angeles Lakers.

“We just need to start being more physical,” said Corey Brewer, who had 14 off the bench for Denver.

“The last couple games we haven’t had the physicality we need.”

The Nuggets (15-9) were playing their third game in three days and arrived in Portland after 4 a.m. after their flight out of Denver was delayed because of snow.

Portland was coming off a deflating 95-92 loss at Sacramento on Thursday. The Blazers have been a completely different team on the road this season, where they are 3-9. At the Rose Garden, Portland is 11-1, the secondbest home record in the Western Conference to San Antonio, which is 13-1.

The 6-foot-9 Batum provided a spark for the Blazers after entering the game late in the first quarter, hitting five of six three-pointers and scoring 17 points in a span of less than seven minutes, lifting Portland to a 52-37 lead in the second quarter.

NFL: SUPER BOWL XLVI

NFL

Breaking down the matchups

Rodgers, Brees, Jim Harbaugh take AP awards

By Barry Wilner The Associated Press

Here’s a closer look at how the New York Giants and New England Patriots matchup for today’s Super Bowl in Indianapolis:

When the Giants have the ball The Giants no longer are a grind-itout offense. In fact, they ranked last in rushing this season, although that’s misleading because the running game has been better in their string of six wins in seven games. Ahmad Bradshaw (44) has battled through back and foot injuries and is more powerful than would be expected for his 5-foot-9, 200pound build. Brandon Jacobs (27) is the big back and has some burst.

But the ground game has stagnated at times because the line has been inconsistent in its blocking. The Giants will try to spring Bradshaw and Jacobs behind G Chris Snee (76) and T David Diehl (66), but the line’s main chore is keeping QB Eli Manning (10) upright long enough for him to do damage.

And Manning, in his best season of an eight-year career, has been superb.

Even in the NFC championship game, when the numbers didn’t seem great in the 20-17 overtime win at rainy, slippery Candlestick Park, Manning made enough big plays to get the Giants to their second Super Bowl in four years.

He did so against the league’s most punishing defense and despite six sacks.

Snee, fellow G Kevin Boothe (77) and C David Baas (64) will see plenty of DT Vince Wilfork (75), by far the best performer on defense for New England.

Wilfork even will rush off the edge at times, but has been immovable in the middle of the line during the playoffs.

The Patriots have eight sacks in the postseason and get pressure from a variety of people: LBs Rob Ninkovich (50), Jerod Mayo (51) and Brandon Spikes (55), and linemen Mark Anderson (95), Shaun Ellis (94) and perhaps a blitzing safety.

Where New York matches up best is with WRs Hakeem Nicks (88), Victor Cruz (80) and Mario Manningham (82) against a jumbled secondary that, at times, has included WRs Julian Edelman (11) and Matthew Slater (18). CB Kyle Arrington (24) tied for the league lead with seven interceptions, but also injured his eye in the AFC championship win over Baltimore. He should be fine.

New York’s biggest edge is in this area, especially if the Giants can get

Super Bowl Continued from D1 But the casts on both sides are mostly different, and this Super Bowl is better understood as a testament to each organization’s ability to retool around its coach and quarterback and return to pro football’s pinnacle.

“There aren’t that many people who played in the last game four years ago,” Belichick said last week. “This team is this team. . . . This game, the elements of it, are what we have in front of us, not what happened two months ago or what happened two years ago or four years ago.”

Only eight Patriots players remain from the 2008 Super Bowl, when the Giants wrecked New England’s perfect season. That modest total includes center Dan Koppen, who is on the injured reserve list. The Giants still have 15 players who played in that game.

But as one of them, running back Brandon Jacobs, said, “That’s gone. This is a new year.”

Only two of Brady’s teammates, left tackle Matt Light and running back Kevin Faulk, have joined him for all five Super Bowl appearances in this dynastic run. Belichick has been willing to make the difficult, unsentimental decisions necessary in the salary cap era, and he has remade and reinvented the Patriots over and over again.

Four of the Patriots’ holdovers start on offense: Brady, wide receiver Wes Welker and the left side of their offensive line, Light and guard Logan Mankins. Wideout Randy Moss, a dominant receiver in the 2007 season, is gone, and the Patriots have reshaped their offense to emphasize the talents of tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, who arrived together in the 2010 draft. On defense, the only starter remaining from the Super Bowl four years ago is defensive tackle Vince Wilfork.

Belichick is known as a defensive guru. Yet this Super Bowl title, if the Patriots cap-

man coverage on one of those receivers against some relatively untested CBs, or against safeties James Ihedigbo (44) or Patrick Chung (25). Backup CB Sterling Moore (29) was victimized for a 29-yard TD by Torrey Smith, but then stripped Lee Evans of a potential winning TD catch in the final moments.

When the Patriots have the ball QB Tom Brady (12) was unhappy with his play in the AFC title game, and Brady rarely has two consecutive mediocre outings. He was intercepted twice

by Baltimore, but did lead the winning drive, which he capped with a 1-yard dive and an emphatic spike.

It’s Brady’s arm, of course, that New York must be most concerned with.

This matchup is no different from the teams’ regular-season meeting, a 24-20 Giants win, nor from the 2008 Super Bowl. If Brady gets time, he will find his two All-Pro receivers, Wes Welker (83) and TE Rob Gronkowski (87), not to mention WR Deion Branch (84) and TE Aaron Hernandez (81).

So the Giants must pressure Brady with a varied pass rush. Up front, AllPro DE Jason Pierre-Paul (90), Justin Tuck (91) and Osi Umenyiora (72) need to be forces against a line built to protect Brady and anchored by Gs Logan Mankins (70) and Brian Waters (54) and T Matt Light (72). LBs Mathias Kiwanuka (94) and Michael Boley (59) are dangerous on the rush, as well.

If the Giants can force either Gronkowski or Hernandez to block more than the Patriots want, it could be decisive. So could the high left ankle sprain Gronkowski is battling through

ture it, would be built around Brady’s passing. New England’s defense ranked 31st in the league during the regular season.

Belichick likes to stockpile draft choices, and the Patriots guess right on many of the picks they use. They famously selected Brady in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft.

He is among the 24 players on the current 53-man active roster originally drafted by the Patriots. But New England also has experienced draft-day misses, for which the organization compensates by finding under-appreciated talent and getting the most out of the group it assembles. Of the 53 players on the roster, 18 originally entered the league as undrafted rookies.

Welker, who ranked second in the NFL in receiving yards this season, arrived via trade with the Miami Dolphins after he was waived by his original NFL team, the San Diego Chargers, and revived his career in Miami.

“I tell the team that I don’t care how you got here,” Belichick said. “It’s what you do when you get here. It doesn’t matter if you were drafted in the second round, the fifth round or not drafted at all. Ten years in the league or one year in the league, we are going to play the best players.”

Brady said several times over the past week that Belichick coaches him, even now, as he did when Brady was an unproven rookie.

“There really is no separate treatment for different players,” Brady said. “The rookies are expected to perform and act the same as the veteran guys. It’s great as a player on our team because . . . you really don’t have to hold the other players accountable, because the head coach does it. He’s very tough. He says to us from time to time he understands that it’s a demanding place to play and that it’s really not meant for everybody.”

The Patriots are back in the Super Bowl for the first time since their loss to the Giants, their longest stretch without an appearance since they secured their first Lombardi

if it limits him.

If not, the two tight ends are difficult challenges for New York’s linebackers — although backup Jacquian Williams (57) is quick enough to run with Gronkowski and Hernandez. Williams has a sprained right foot, though.

Safeties Antrel Rolle (26), Kenny Phillips (21) and Deon Grant (34) have stood out in pass coverage and run D recently.

CB Corey Webster (23) figures to cover Welker, even when Welker lines up in the slot. Should the Giants get a decent pass rush on Brady, Welker becomes even more important to New England’s offense.

Also a key is if the Patriots can run as well as they did in the previous postseason games. BenJarvus Green-Ellis (42) is vastly underrated, and Danny Woodhead (39) is a versatile, do-everything guy.

Mostly, though, it comes down to how much time Brady gets to throw.

The Patriots will operate out of a nohuddle much of the time to minimize how many substitutions New York makes on defense. Because the Giants have so many versatile defenders, that might not work as well as it has against other teams.

Special teams New England has plenty of faith in PK Stephen Gostkowski (3), and indoors at Lucas Oil Stadium, he’s likely to attempt long field goals if necessary.

His kickoffs in the playoffs have been consistently deep into the end zone.

P Zoltan Mesko (14) is a lefty kicker and the ball can act funky off his foot.

Trophy at the end of the 2001 season. The Giants have not been as consistently superb.

But if Coughlin and Manning collect a second Super Bowl title, it would not be difficult to envision their tickets to Canton, Ohio, for Hall of Fame enshrinement eventually being punched.

Whereas Belichick is the key decision-maker on football-related matters for the Patriots, the Giants have a general manager, Jerry Reese, charged with assembling the roster that Coughlin coaches.

“We’ve always been a traditional organization where you have a general manager and a head coach,” Reese said. “You have slots and that hierarchy.

It has always been that way with the Giants.”

He doesn’t get on the field all that often, which is a good thing for the Patriots; the fewer punts, the better.

Bill Belichick also has a special teams coaching background and his coverage groups are trustworthy. Not that the Giants are particularly dangerous in the return game.

Where New York has been exceptional is in kick coverages, and the two critical turnovers in the NFC championship victory at San Francisco came on punt coverages.

Lawrence Tynes (9) makes the clutch field goals and twice has kicked the Giants into the Super Bowl with overtime winners. His kickoffs have improved recently. Steve Weatherford (5) has been terrific in the second half of the season as the punter and did a masterful job holding for the winning field goal in the slop against San Francisco.

Coaching Two of the best in the business matching wits, Tom Coughlin and Belichick.

Both come from the Bill Parcells coaching tree, Coughlin an offensive guru and Belichick a defensive mastermind. Here’s the catch: New York has been a stronger defensive team in Coughlin’s tenure (2004-12), while the Patriots have morphed into an offensive machine since Belichick took charge in 2000.

Coughlin’s players show a genuine fondness for the 65-year-old coach, particularly after he toned down his heavyhanded approach before the 2007 season. That, remember, was New York’s championship season.

With fans calling for his job after a disappointing non-playoff performance in 2010, and again when the Giants were 7-7 during this regular season, Coughlin ignored the outside noise.

More importantly, he got his players to remain focused on the prize — which is now one win away.

Unlike Coughlin, who answers to GM Jerry Reese on many personnel issues, Belichick is in total charge in New England. His track record: three Super Bowl titles, five appearances in the big game (including this year) and a 155-58 overall mark as coach.

Belichick is more willing to experiment in game plans and with his players; who else uses receivers as defensive backs, or has come up with a passing attack built on two pass-catching tight ends? If either coach comes up with an unusual wrinkle in the Super Bowl, it almost certainly will be Belichick.

Two of the Giants’ standouts from the 2008 game, wide receivers David Tyree and Plaxico Burress, are long gone. Manning now has two 1,000-yard wideouts, Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz. Running backs Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs still are around and the offensive line has been tweaked, not overhauled. Pass rushers Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck remain, but Jason Pierre-Paul has replaced the retired Michael Strahan.

The Giants signed Cruz, who ranked third in the league in receiving yards this season, after he went undrafted out of the University of Massachusetts.

“We had Victor Cruz ranked just like everyone else: We had

him ranked as a free agent, and he was a free agent,” Reese said. “He has surpassed all of our expectations with respect to what he has done.

That happens. In scouting, it’s not a perfect science. Every now and then, you get lucky with guys like that.”

Good luck certainly is part of it. But the bigger part of the successful team-building equation appears to be stability, which Giants co-owner John Mara called the key element for the league’s most successful franchises. What the Giants and Patriots have demonstrated is that if the pillars remain in place at coach and quarterback, a team has at least a chance to put the other championship pieces in place.

The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — The best quarterbacks bring fans out of their seats.

Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning did exactly that Saturday night when the NFL Most Valuable Player accepted the trophy from the only four-time winner of the award.

The Green Bay quarterback won the 2011 Associated Press award in a landslide. Manning, the hometown hero who didn’t play a down this season because of neck surgery, handed it to him.

Manning was greeted with a standing ovation when he came on stage at the Murat Theatre during “NFL Honors,” a primetime special on NBC. Moments later, the crowd was back on its feet for Rodgers.

“It means a lot to be recognized as a consistent player and contributing on my team,” Rodgers said. “I think it’s an award that relies on a player having the support of his teammates, obviously, guys blocking, guys running, guys catching, guys making plays. But I’m very honored to receive the award.”

Speaking to Manning, who didn’t miss a game for 13 seasons before 2011, Rodgers added: “We’re all really excited to see you back on the field next year.”

Rodgers earned 48 votes to two for New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees in balloting by a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. The Packers star is the first Green Bay player honored since Brett Favre concluded a run of three straight seasons as MVP in 1997.

Brees won Offensive Player of the Year for the second time.

Other winners included: • Baltimore defensive end/linebacker Terrell Suggs, Defensive Player of the Year.

• San Francisco’s rookie coach Jim Harbaugh, Coach of the Year.

• Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford, Comeback Player of the Year.

The top two picks in last April’s draft took the rookie awards: Carolina QB Cam Newton and Denver linebacker Von Miller.

Readers provide feedback

F

www.bendbulletin.com/opinion

For one soldier disfigured in war, a trip to a private doctor — and several surgeries later — delivers a revival

R

esponse to a column is the columnist’s dream. Believe it or not, those of us who write regularly want feedback. Negative or positive, it all influences us.

Last week, I wrote a column about my experience during a week with Marine recruits in California. That column generated more response than most others, and it was uplifting, thoughtful and sentimental.

I was in San Diego with Bulletin Publisher Gordon Black on a program to offer high school educators a glimpse of what Marines go through in basic training and what they have to look forward to as they serve out their tours and beyond.

We were among a few media members on the tour. We were both impressed with the Marines, though we both came to worry that the volunteer service, which unquestionably offers a lot of good, also has over the years created a troublesome separation between the military and civilian society. That was also what readers picked up on.

Lee Flegel of Redmond, who served in the reserves and is the father of three Marines, wrote: “Well done, sir. Thoughtful.

“The draft insured more American families were involved in the wars we thought we had to fight.

“We, too, have sat in those bleachers at MCRD — San Diego. Humbling — inspiring.”

Another response came from Bill Knight.

He wrote in part, “I, too, have noted the smaller and smaller number of veterans present at most any event.

“Most interesting to me was your comment on the all-volunteer military. I felt (and still feel) it was a mistake to have abandoned the draft.

Vietnam was my war, and I served four years with the Air Force during that period. Had there not been a draft then, I may not have experienced the benefits of service that you described so well.

“I understand the political drivers of that move to an all-volunteer service, but it has unfortunately decoupled the well-to-do and the power brokers from the negative consequences of military action. For some of us today, the reality of Iraq, Afghanistan, or policies like the use of drone warfare do not seem to exist.

This is a dangerous development that seems to be part of a larger story; that of widening gaps between privileged and not-so-privileged Americans.”

And another came from Don Oliver of Redmond, a Vietnam veteran.

He wrote in part, “While I am told that only about a third of us Vietnam-era vets are still around, given the large number of people who have served in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places in the U. S. military, and given the way folks stand up at airports when returning troops come through, I believe that our society as a whole is not becoming disassociated from those who have served. While I can easily imagine that folks who have not served can find it difficult to understand how difficult things are for our troops in Afghanistan, and while there are many who do have good reason to want our troops out of there, those factors do not translate into a lack of concern or respect for those who have served.”

Not for a second would Black, whose Marine son deployed to Iraq, or I, a veteran, suggest that our troops coming home from war these days aren’t getting the deep respect they deserve.

But that’s not my critical concern.

No question, wartime universal service brings chills to any family. But it is no less chilling to the families of the volunteers who are fighting in the name of all Americans.

And there is another element. As a New Yorker, my 1966 basic training buddies included a college graduate from North Carolina, a high school graduate from east Texas, and high school dropout from Buffalo. My perspective, my sense of loyalty and citizenship and my life in general have been richer for them and our service together.

His nostrils were squeezed shut, his chin had virtually disappeared, and the top half of one ear was gone. Skin grafts crisscrossed his face like lines on a map, and silver medicine coated his scars, making him look like something out of a Terminator film.

“This is who I am now,” he told himself.

Every severe injury is disfiguring in its own way, but there is something uniquely

recluse, hiding beneath hooded sweatshirts, baseball caps and dark glasses when he went out, if he went out at all.

But he found his way to a program at UCLA Medical Center called Operation Mend that provides cosmetic surgery for severely burned veterans at no cost — and the operations fundamentally realigned his face, restoring not just the semblance of his former visage but also a healthy chunk of his self-confidence.

He is venturing out again, to bars, beaches and ballgames. On Veterans Day last year, Paulk, 26, rode in the lead car of the New York City parade, his head bared for tens of thousands to see.

Jefferson school bond deserves to be approved

J

efferson County School District directors decided recently to put a $26.6 million bond measure on the May ballot. While the largest single chunk of that money

would go to help pay for a new elementary school at Warm Springs, the bond would bring improvements districtwide.

The most critical element is the new Warm Springs school. The current facility is the district’s oldest, built in 1938, and it has a host of problems, not the least of which is the fact that it is too small even for the limited population it serves.

It has been expanded with seven modular units, and its K-5 students must walk a block or more to the school cafeteria.

If a new school were built, it would expand to a K-8, saving older students the daily 90-minute ride each way into Madras.

As has been the model with schools on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, district residents would be asked to put up at most half of the cost of a new school.

The tribes and the district have signed an agreement that will split the cost, and both sides hope the Bureau of Indian Affairs will commit to pick up a portion of that cost. Tribal members will vote on the tribes’ part of the bill at a ref-

erendum that officials hope will be simultaneous with the bond measure.

Meanwhile, the measure would also pay for a new performing arts center that could be used by all schools in the district and for 49 other improvements to schools.

Officials still must work out the language of the proposed measure that will, among other things, determine what happens if either side rejects the measure while the other approves it.

School boards and administrators in the district have been working toward the May bond vote for at least 10 years, officials say. They believe the timing is right now because retiring bond measures will keep the tax rate flat over the life of the bond. Voters should, of course, study the measure before they finally vote on it, but given the need, we believe that if they do so they will vote to approve it.

Government pays too much and too little

T

he largest employer in the United States? The federal government. It has 2.3 million civilian workers. The government paid them $200 billion in fiscal year 2011 in salary and benefits.

It can be argued the government pays too much and too little.

Overall, the federal government paid 16 percent more in total compensation than average compensation in the private sector, a new Congressional Budget Office study concluded. That is accounting for things that can throw such comparisons off — level of education, years of work experience, occupation, employer size, location and demographics. The analysis does not include military personnel.

Dig into the findings, and there are also employees who are arguably paid too little.

The report says federal workers with no more than a high school education or no more than a bachelor’s degree receive average compensation 36 percent higher and 15 percent higher, respectively, than

counterparts in the private sector.

The report also says those federal workers with a professional degree or a doctorate get an average of 18 percent lower compensation than private sector counterparts.

Of course, federal pay and private sector pay does not need to be perfectly aligned. There also may be differences between federal and private employees that are not accounted for in this study.

On Wednesday, Republicans in the House of Representatives used the study to bolster their case for continuing the pay freeze for wages for federal workers. It does bolster their case — to a degree.

A strong disparity in compensation between federal and private compensation means the federal government may be able to pay less than it does now and get the same quality of worker. But for federal employees with professional degrees or doctorates — judges, doctors and scientists — the federal government may not be paying enough to get the best people.

Where are the Romney Republicans?

T

he most embarrassing moments to watch this political season have occurred as Mitt Romney has pretended to be an angry, fire-breathing true conservative.

The evidence suggests that in his soul he’s a moderate pragmatist, but he has flip-flopped like a frantic fish in hopes of hiding his reasonableness.

Newt Gingrich, Romney’s main rival for the Republican presidential nomination, is denouncing Romney with one of the ugliest slurs in the Republican lexicon: a Massachusetts moderate. Other moderate Republicans are savaged as RINOs — Republicans in name only — as if they emerged from an ugly mutant strain.

Yet, in fact, as a new history book underscores, it is the Gingriches and Santorums who are the mutants. For most of its history, the Republican Party was dominated by those closer to Romney than to social conservatives like Rick Santorum, and it is only in the past generation that the party has lurched to the hard right.

The new book, “Rule and Ruin,�

by Geoffrey Kabaservice, a former assistant history professor at Yale, notes that, to compete in the primaries, Romney has had to flee from his own political record and that of his father, George Romney, a former governor of Michigan who is a symbol of mainstream moderation. “Much of the current conservative movement is characterized by this sort of historical amnesia and symbolic parricide, which seeks to undo key aspects of the Republican

NICHOLAS KRISTOF legacy such as Reagan’s elimination of corporate tax loopholes, Nixon’s environmental and labor safety programs, and a variety of GOP achievements in civil rights, civil liberties and good government reforms,� Kabaservice writes. “In the long view of history, it is really today’s conservatives who are ‘Republicans in name only.’�

After all, the original Massachusetts moderates were legendary figures in Republican history, like Elihu Root and Henry Cabot Lodge.

Theodore Roosevelt embraced progressivism as “the highest and wisest form of conservatism.� Few did more to promote racial integration, civil rights and individual freedoms than a Republican, Earl Warren, in his years as chief justice.

Dwight Eisenhower cautioned against excess military spending as “a theft from those who hunger and are not fed.� Richard Nixon proposed health care reform. Ronald Reagan endorsed the same tax rate for capital gains as for earned income.

Republican history is also populated with harder-line conservatives, like Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio, dubbed “Mr. Republican.� But he worked closely with Democrats, was willing to raise taxes and disapproved of anti-intellectual populism.

What happened?

That’s a long and gradual story beginning with Sen. Joe McCarthy’s success in galvanizing working-class suspicions of government elites and continues with an angry backlash at changing mores and liberalized abortion laws. Conservative Southern whites moved into the Republican Party. Newer media voices like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck made extremism seem congenial — while making bipartisanship feel treacherous.

I grew up in Oregon at a time when the state was dominated by Republican progressives like Gov. Tom McCall, a passionate environmentalist, and Mark Hatfield, an opponent of the Vietnam War. At that time, political paranoiacs tended to vote Democratic for candidates like George Wallace; over time, they migrated to the state’s Republican Party — and swallowed it up.

Yet political parties are not suicidal. When they overreach, they (often) learn. The Democrats did that when they embraced a Southern centrist named Bill Clinton. And in Oregon over the past decade, Bladine notes, social wedge issues have lost their force, and moderate Republicans have re-emerged.

Could the same happen nationally?

Sure, it seems impossible at the moment. But if Romney somehow manages to make the Republican Party safe for moderates again, that’ll be a triumph for his party — and for the country. — Nicholas Kristof is a columnist for The New York Times.

It’s hard to prove recession might have been worse

By Lew is W. D iu gu id McClatchy-Tribune News Service

M

y 95-year-old dad interrogates me in the colder months of every year about two small, bullet-shaped devices on the front end of my car.

They are high-pitched whistles called “deer alerts� made to keep deer from jumping in front of passing cars on area highways. They come in handy starting in the fall during deer mating season. “How do you know they work?�

Dad always asks.

I say because I’ve not crashed into a deer yet. As a chemist seeking conclusive evidence, Dad always counters, saying that’s bad logic.

He’s right. But the non-evidence is the best I have for safety’s sake on my frequent trips to see him in St. Louis.

Unfortunately a similar, non-evidence logic is what President Barack Obama faces with voters about the economy as he seeks a second term in the White House. He tried to convince listeners in his State of the Union address last week that his

stimulus plan and other efforts have created or saved millions of jobs and driven down the unemployment rate.

Despite Obama’s pronouncements, the housing crisis continues with more foreclosures separating families from their homes. Consumer spending and confidence haven’t rebounded, and home sales haven’t recovered.

The much-promised green energy revolution has yet to take hold.

Obama can’t completely blame the stagnation on George W. Bush’s eight years in the White House.

Obama also can’t take credit for a turnaround. He has tried to contend that without his administration the nation would be worse off, and millions more jobs would have vanished.

But that’s my deer whistle logic.

Without captured-on-cellphone-camera proof, it’s pooh-poohed by voters like my dad ribs me.

Obama, indeed, has bought this bad economy on a three-year layaway plan. It has been up to him to either get the country on the right financial track or be tied to the rails

Happy days keep running farther down a dark, endless rat hole. It’s like a bad horror movie that won’t end. as the locomotive of voter discontent roars through on the November election schedule.

Dad has insisted since the Great Depression that people always vote with their wallet. Without a turnaround, Obama will be a one-term president.

Americans are exhausted with being afraid and uncertain about their economic future. Sure, a lot of folks had a good time spending during the Christmas holiday season.

But like binge drinkers, the billpaying hangover is hitting us and our recovery with promises to stay sober continue until tax-refund-check time.

That’s for people with jobs.

Those fortunate enough to still be working also have had to absorb more of their health care costs. They’ve seen their work hours cut, endured pay freezes and weeks of furloughs,

yielding smaller paychecks.

Add to that baby boomers’ adult children living at home because they’re unemployed or underemployed and can’t afford to live on their own or parents are sending their adult children money to augment the young adults’ meager income. What little wealth the middle and working class have is being strip-mined away, and people have few incentives to save for the future.

Happy days keep running farther down a dark, endless rat hole. It’s like a bad horror movie that won’t end.

The U.S. housing bubble that contributed to the global recession threatens to boomerang back and wallop our economy with the euro’s crisis because of the massive debt many European nations are carrying. The interconnectedness of the world’s economy is showing itself,

making everyone except the very rich feel vulnerable.

It is why the Occupy Wall Street movement hasn’t lost traction. People are angry and afraid, and they are shouting those emotions from sidewalks and parks in major cities throughout America.

It is the same cry that Franklin D. Roosevelt heard in Hooverville shantytowns of people nationwide left homeless during the Great Depression. Roosevelt answered people’s calls with New Deal programs.

They didn’t revive the economy of the 1930s, but they did give people a sense of hope and a feeling that things would get better. Obama made hope and change themes of his candidacy in 2008. But each is like deer whistles to human ears now.

The weakness of the Republican candidates may not be enough to help Obama. He needs a Hail Mary pass to stay in the White House. The questions are, what will it be and when might it arrive? — Lewis W. Diuguid is a member of The Kansas City Star’s editorial board.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

C Voters may prefer the un-Obama B

arack Obama’s favorability in the polls falls when he is himself — overexposed, hard left in his press conferences, and boastful about legislative achievements like Obamacare and a stimulus of more than $1 trillion.

Then a strange thing happened.

Obama largely went quiet. Often he was out of sight, vacationing in Hawaii or golfing. It was almost as if he learned that the less he was seen or heard, the more Americans liked the idea of Obama as president rather the reality of his constant “Make no mistake about it” and “Let me be perfectly clear” sermonizing.

Obama has now edged ahead of his potential Republican Party rivals in the polls. He waited for the noisy Republicans to grab national attention in the debates and primaries before moving hard left to firm up his base.

So while the nation was amused, repelled and bored by the constant back-and-forth over Mitt Romney’s moneymaking and Newt Gingrich’s marriages and off-the-cuff philosophizing, President Obama matterof-factly canceled the vital Keystone pipeline project.

He even more quietly prepared to ask Congress to raise the debt ceiling to over $16 trillion to accommodate his fourth consecutive reckless trillion-dollar-plus annual deficit —

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON while planning to slash the defense budget in the next decade. Did anyone notice that he made controversial “recess” appointments — which as a senator he had opposed — when most thought Congress was not really in recess?

Obama now rarely talks about his supposed signature achievements, whether the huge deficit “priming” or the unpopular Obamacare. Republicans have only controlled the House of Representatives for the past year, yet Obama now blasts them for stopping what he in theory wanted to do as president. In contrast, he hardly praises the Democrats who controlled both houses of Congress for twice that time and enacted all that he wished. How strange to keep silent about successes only to broadcast failed what-ifs.

President Obama now campaigns on events that happened despite, not because of, him. His Cabinet has cut federal oil leases by 40 percent, subsidized money-losing and now bankrupt green companies, and in the past openly wished that gas and electricity prices would skyrocket to make

alternative energy cost-competitive.

But recently he bragged that we are pumping more oil than ever. Natural gas is suddenly no longer an earthwarming pollutant but welcomed in vast abundance.

Left unmentioned was the cause of this unexpected energy bounty: The economic stagnation between 2009 and 2012 has curbed energy demand, while private entrepreneurs have used new fracking and horizontal drilling technology on largely private lands to revolutionize the production of fossil fuels. Again, Obama seems to take credit for things that occurred over his opposition — as if to say, “You will like me for what they didn’t let me do.” In the fine tradition of American politics, the successes of others are Obama’s; Obama’s failures are the failures of others.

Both as a candidate and early in his term, Obama blasted all the BushCheney antiterrorism protocols as either unnecessary or illegal. Iraq was a “dumb” war, and he declared the surge a failure.

But as president, Obama expanded these intelligence measures, and used a beefed-up military to kill Osama bin Laden and go after al-Qaida captains. He followed the Bush-Petraeus timetable of withdrawal in Iraq and praised our successful nation-building there.

One could almost infer that Obama is now happy that he did not fulfill his earlier promises to close Guantanamo, end renditions and tribunals, prune back the Patriot Act, and get out of Iraq by March 2009. George W. Bush is still to be blamed for the present stagnating economy, as he is never to be praised for crafting the security measures vital for our current successes.

This year, Obama will run not so much on what he really did in 2009 and 2010, but more on what he wanted to do, but was stopped from doing, in 2011 and 2012. The president will tell his base that he really wished to go green in a big way while telling Middle America that lots of oilmen went ahead on their own to find new gas and oil. For his liberal supporters, Obama really did want to end the antiterrorism protocols, and for the rest of America he really did find those same protocols necessary to kill Islamic terrorists.

The message is clear: If voters do not see or hear the new un-Obama too often, if his left-wing legislative agenda is sidetracked, and if the private sector can ignore him, then voters may still sort of like the idea of him back as president.

Buffett rule fixes a nonexistent problem

By Douglas Holtz-Eakin Bloomberg News

A

lthough Warren Buffett may be a stellar investor, his entry into the world of federal tax policy has brought forth nothing but bad ideas based on flawed information and misleading demagoguery.

Let’s review the record.

In his State of the Union address last week, President Barack Obama called for enactment of the so-called Buffett rule, saying it wasn’t fair that a rich person pays a lower tax rate than Buffett’s secretary. In a bald act of political theater, Obama invited Buffett’s secretary to sit in one of the guest seats in the gallery near first lady Michelle Obama.

Last year, the president proposed that no household making more than $1 million a year pay a smaller share of its income in taxes than middleclass families. In support of this rule, he called for these earners to pay a minimum effective tax rate of at least 30 percent.

The trouble with the Buffett rule is that it is an example of the dangers of making policy based on anecdote, instead of facts. As the Congressional Research Service documents, the average effective tax rate among millionaires is already about 30 percent. The president is trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.

Of course, it is true that not every millionaire has an effective tax rate of 30 percent. But what does that tell us?

Tax policy reflects a balance among the objectives of economic growth, ease of compliance, cost of administration, social policy and — yes — fairness. Because millionaires can legally reduce their tax liability below some perceived “fair” level, it implies that they are contributing to some or

all of these other objectives. Obama may succeed in his single-minded, fairness-only approach to income taxation, although I think he will come to regret it.

Let’s think for a second about the other consequences of instituting the Buffett rule. Taken at face value, it could mean another alternative minimum tax. An early version of the AMT was born in 1969 to make sure that 155 high-income Americans didn’t use loopholes to avoid paying taxes. Today, it stands as a perennial threat to the middle class because it was never indexed to inflation. Each year Congress struggles to devise a “patch” to protect the middle class from being hit by the AMT, which deprives millions of taxpayers from taking deductions for dependent children and local real-estate taxes.

Maybe Obama envisions it as part of a reform of the AMT. If so, imposing the Buffett rule would mean an overhaul not worth undertaking.

This brings me to the primary cost of the Buffett rule: It gets in the way of real and needed tax reform. The very existence of the AMT is striking evidence of a broken system. The U.S. should be able to raise the revenue needed to pay for government operations with a code that promotes the needed mix of growth, fairness and other objectives. Tax reform would mean raising the desired revenue with a broader base and the lowest rates possible.

Of course, the biggest misconception about the Buffett rule is that it would help balance the budget. Not really. A rough static estimate — meaning no assumptions about growth or changes in behavior — suggests that the additional revenue would amount to about $35 billion a year. This works

out to less than 3 percent of the $1.3 trillion annual federal budget deficit.

Compare this with a tax reform that broadens the base and lowers rates.

Some studies indicate this might raise the U.S.’s average growth by roughly 0.3 percentage point annually. Such an increase in growth might boost federal revenue by $80 billion to $100 billion. Put differently, adopting the Buffett rule, instead of a fundamental tax reform, would deprive the government of a net $45 billion to $65 billion a year.

Fairness in public policy is important, but the Buffett rule gets it wrong.

With spending racing out of control,

there are many better places to look for fairness. One place to start is to reduce the entitlement benefits of the affluent. In an era when a debt crisis could cripple the economy and bequeath a lower standard of living to the next generation, it is a moral imperative to undertake tax and entitlement reform.

Perhaps Buffett could have that conversation with his secretary.

Rankings mischief is contagious at U.S. colleges

By Jane Shaw Bloomberg News

T

he news that Claremont McKenna College submitted false SAT scores for incoming freshmen to U.S. News & World Report (and other outlets, including the Department of Education) is causing a ripple of shock throughout higher education.

On Monday, the college’s president, Pamela Gann, acknowledged that the elite school — No. 9 on the U.S. News list of best colleges — had submitted the inflated averages for six years.

The shock is that the falsehoods were apparently deliberate. A senior admissions official resigned after taking responsibility for changing the results.

At first glance, the increases — 10 to 20 points — seemed relatively small. Could a boost of 10 to 20 points on the average SAT scores make a difference in the ranking of a college? Sadly, the answer is yes.

Robert Morse, who directs the U.S. News rankings, hasn’t said how much a difference such changes might make, but he noted in a column about the news that the magazine will recalculate the ranking

when he gets the accurate scores.

SAT scores represent 7.5 percent of the U.S. News ranking.

Consistently high SAT scores also influence the reputation of the school, and reputational surveys have a 22.5 percent weight in the total ranking.

Many factors determine where a school stands, but it seems likely that a few minor changes could shift a school’s position — from, say, No. 12 to No. 9.

The difference in educational quality between such rankings would be nonexistent. There’s plenty of doubt whether the rankings actually measure quality at all.

But being in the top 10 would give a school an enormous public relations boost. And colleges are driven by public relations, although college presidents don’t call it that. Rather, the currency of higher education is “reputation.” Unlike private industry, where profit matters, prestige is everything for college administrators, faculty and fundraisers. It brings in the best students, more money and bragging rights for years to come.

By falsifying the figures, Claremont McKenna may have gone further than other schools, but it is far from alone in its desire to make itself

look good through higher rankings.

Gaming the U.S. News system is common. Manipulation made news in 2009, when, at an academic meeting, a Clemson University staff member openly described ways the school had tried to boost its ranking. Those techniques had apparently been successful, noted Inside Higher Education, because the university had risen from 38th to 22nd in its U.S. News category over seven years.

Some of the methods included: • Increasing the number of small classes. Having many classes with fewer than 20 students boosts one’s ranking, even if it means making some large classes even larger.

• Boosting the number of alumni donors. Because the indicator is the percentage of alumni who give, asking for $5 donations can boost the figures, even though those donations cost more to get than they add to the bottom line.

• Low-balling the reputation of other schools. Some presidents indiscriminately claim on the reputation survey that their school’s reputation is higher than that of its peers.

Another technique to boost rankings is making the SAT optional for admission. Although colleges (such

as Wake Forest and Smith) give a variety of reasons for the change in policy, one effect is to increase the average of the reported SAT scores.

According to one study, students who don’t submit their SAT scores test between 100 and 150 points lower than those who do report their results.

Keeping those scores out of a college’s average makes it look better.

What have we learned? For the public at large, including potential students and their parents, the lesson is to be skeptical about rankings.

The fact that this duplicity went on for six years at Claremont McKenna makes one wonder if officials at other schools may be doing the same thing.

But far more important than giving too much credence to rankings, the public should be more skeptical about our system of higher education. Those highly respected institutions, our colleges and universities, are composed of very human people.

When the prestige of their institutions is on the line, those people can act in ways that are embarrassing and morally wrong.

The politics of dignity

M

emo to: Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev Subject: Russia and the Arab Spring From: A traveler to Cairo and Moscow Dear Sirs: You may think that the situations in Egypt and Russia have nothing in common. Think again.

Yes, these two countries have starkly different histories. But having visited both in recent weeks, I can tell you that they have one very big thing in common: The political eruptions in both countries were not initially driven by any particular ideology but rather by the most human of emotions — the quest for dignity and justice. Humiliation is the single most underestimated force in politics.

People will absorb hardship, hunger and pain. They will be grateful for jobs, cars and benefits. But if you force people to live indefinitely inside a rigged game that is flaunted in their face or make them feel like cattle that can be passed by one leader to his son or one politician to another, eventually they’ll explode. These are the emotions that sparked the uprisings in Cairo and Moscow. They don’t go away easily, which is why you’re in more trouble than you think.

Have you gentlemen looked at the homemade videos going viral around Russia these days? One of my favorites was made by two Russian paratroopers-turned-singers, posted on YouTube under the title “Russian airborne veterans against Vladimir Putin.” Their lyrics were aimed directly at you, Mr. Putin, in the wake of the Sept. 24 announcement that President Medvedev would step down and pave the way for you and your party (now widely known as “the party of crooks and thieves”) to run for president for two more six-year terms — 12 more years! Russians immediately started calculating how old they’d be when they might see their country led by someone other than you, Mr. Putin. It was depressing for many — made more so by the fact that Mr. Medvedev said that your “trading places” was planned long ago. Yet no one else was consulted, and you two didn’t even bother to offer a narrative as to why Putin should have 12 more years.

Aleksei Navalny, the shareholderactivist-blogger who helped stoke the rallies against you, said to me that nothing spurred the protests more than the daily experience of Muscovites having to sit in traffic while a car with a flashing blue light carrying some Putin crony behind tinted glass speeds past. “It is all about dignity,” said Navalny. “Who are these people? Why don’t they care about our rights? It doesn’t matter at all how good a career you build. You will stand in this traffic, and these people and their sons will drive past you with their blue lights.”

Mr. Putin, you have substantial achievements. During your first eight years as president, starting in 2000, you stabilized a collapsing Russia and oversaw the emergence of a big urban middle class. Admittedly, you didn’t achieve this with kid gloves, and it was attended with widespread corruption and fueled by oil exports. But enough trickled down so that a real middle class of professionals and entrepreneurs emerged.

Have you spoken lately to Mikhail Dmitriev, the president of the Center for Strategic Research? He has been doing focus groups since 2009, which I am told your aides were shown but didn’t believe. The anti-Putin protests, Dmitriev found, were not driven by the unemployed but rather by “the highly skilled part of the Russian population” that has come to feel as though “Russian society is a two-lane highway, with one lane for the privileged individuals in proximity to state power,” with its own laws or lack of them, “and one lane for the rest of the population.”

This struggle between you and your accidental offspring will play out over a long time. But, good sirs, have no doubt about this: Politics is back in Russia. Watch out. You, Mr. Putin, will surely win the March presidential election, predicts Dmitriev, “but in a weakened way.”

Therefore, argues Dmitriev, your only hope to remain relevant is to “set up a coalition government, including the opposition, on the basis of free and fair elections and move toward a more balanced and competitive political system.”

I’d listen to him this time.

“ Chops ticks”

by Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral (Razorbill, $19.99, ages 12 and older)

By Susan Carpenter Los Angeles Times

Josh Harner / New York Times News Service

Gary Marcus, a professor who recently spent a year learning to play the guitar, chronicled his journey in a new book, “Guitar Zero: The New Musician and the Science of Learning.”

Author details scientific journey to learning guitar

By Bruce Headlam New York Times News Service

At 13, an age when most boys want to learn the guitar, Gary Marcus decided he wanted to be a scientist. Twenty-five years later he had become one of the country’s best-known cognitive psychologists, with major papers and three general-interest books on the workings of the human mind and a position running New York University’s Center for Language and Music.

And he wanted to play the guitar.

For any adult, learning an instrument or a new language is terrifying. For a cognitive scientist, it can also be downright depressing. Humans have an early childhood window to acquire such skills easily, according to a long-held tenet in his profession, and it’s a window that closes quickly. Then there is the issue of innate ability. While no single gene can explain Beethoven, Yo-Yo Ma or “Waterloo Sunset,” Marcus does believe in natural talent, he said, or at least in the certainty he doesn’t have any.

Despite those misgivings he allowed himself one year of dedicated practice, armed with instruction books, a $75 Yamaha acoustic bought on eBay and one thing few adult music students have at their disposal: a year’s sabbatical.

Three years later he has chronicled his journey in a new book, “Guitar Zero: The New Musician and the Science of Learning” (Penguin). Like Daniel J. Levitin’s “World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature” and Oliver Sacks’ “Musicophilia,” “Guitar Zero” investigates the intersection between neuroscience and music. But the thread here is Marcus’ own often frustrating attempts to learn guitar.

It’s the sort of book where Steven Pinker (Marcus’ mentor and collaborator) mixes with K. Anders Ericsson (the psychologist most associated with the “10,000 hours” theory of expertise) and Tom Morello (the lead guitarist from Rage Against the Machine).

‘A difficult skill’ Marcus, now 41, may not be Rage Against the Machine material, but he wouldn’t look out of place in an ’80s New Wave group or maybe a new outfit called Public Intellectuals Limited.

“You could ask from an evolutionary perspective why anyone plays music in the first place,” he said, although in fact you have to ask very few questions in conversation with Marcus because he poses so many himself — then answers them.

“I don’t think music is innately wired in the brain. It’s a difficult skill. So why do we do it?”

His brain didn’t seem wired for it. Growing up in Baltimore, he loved listening to his parents’ Beatles and Peter, Paul and Mary records, but he was uncoordinated, given to bouts of motion sickness and unable even to use a playground swing.

“I think it’s something to do with my cerebellum,” he said. He flunked an aptitude test for band and was discouraged from playing the recorder which, in public school, pretty much leaves the tambourine.

What finally pushed him wasn’t seeing Springsteen in concert or listening to the “Goldberg” Variations. It was a video game, “Guitar Hero,” that rewards players who can press the correct buttons in time with recorded music. He was terrible at first, but through sheer repetition he improved just enough to think that maybe rhythm could be learned after all. But real guitars, he was frustrated to learn, weren’t designed by computer engineers.

Improvisation Three years later his practice is now aimed almost purely at improvisation. At the book party/mini-concert for “Guitar Zero,” held in front of students and friends at an NYU lecture hall last week, he was joined on stage by Terre Roche, a longtime music teacher and part of the singing group the Roches, to improvise in a scale he had learned that morning.

But he had no interest in learning particular songs. Nor has he tried to acquire the tricks that most fledgling players rely on by reading transcriptions of Chuck Berry or Eric Clapton licks, and he may be the only amateur guitarist alive who doesn’t spontaneously play “Blackbird” over and over.

“I have a lot of need for cog-

nition,” he said. “I want to know how the guitar works. Some people are ‘show me this riff in “Hey Joe.”’ I’m not that kind of player.”

Those two approaches — learning the scales or learning “Hey Joe” — illustrate different modes of mental processing that are at the heart of “Guitar Zero.” On the one hand is abstract thinking, basically a tool kit of rules that can be applied in new situations. Atonal music, which relies on a strict sequence of notes, might be the best example.

The other is data mining, that is, dredging up material from a vast store of knowledge. Paul McCartney can’t read notation, but he has a vast store of music to draw on and could, for example, compose “Blackbird” based on a Bach lute piece he learned as a child.

Marcus is particularly interested in how the human mind toggles between the two approaches. As a scientist he gives equal weight to both ways of thinking, but as a player he clearly prefers rules to riffs.

Like most musicians he wants to move beyond both and play from emotion or, as he said, “from the brain stem.”

In the meantime there are other compensations. He has shifted his research from language to music, developed several iPad apps (including one for improvisation) and now teaches a course at NYU called “‘Guitar Hero’ (and Heroines): Music, Video Games and the Nature of Cognition.” He even admits to enjoying heavy metal.

“I love ‘Stairway to Heaven’ now,” he said.

The first indication that “Chopsticks” is significantly more than just a novel is its trailer, which encourages readers to watch, listen, feel, look, discover, view and imagine. All of those activities are not only encouraged but enabled in this ambitious and hefty tome that works as a sort of interactive scrapbook. An exercise in multimedia storytelling, “Chopsticks” is a book, but it’s also an iPhone and iPad app peppered with videos, songs and instant messages that bring the story to life.

“Chopsticks” is a collaboration between author Jessica Anthony and designer Rodrigo Corral, the creative director of Farrar, Straus & Giroux who came up with the covers for best-sellers by Chuck Palahniuk, Jay-Z and others. It isn’t the first novel for young adults to exploit the Web in conjunction with print storytelling, but it is elaborately inventive and compelling.

A visual work of fiction told mostly through photographs, “Chopsticks” is an artful love story cloaked in mystery. It opens with a two-page photo of tree branches, followed by another two-page spread of a fence casting prison-bar shadows, and then a collage of TV screen grabs as various newscasters report the disappearance of 17-year-old Glory Fleming. Glory is a world-famous piano prodigy from the Bronx who, we learn from newspaper clippings, was once loved for her fusion of classical music with songs from modern bands such as Pavement and Wilco.

According to her many playbills, she’d performed to adoring crowds at the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall and was routinely written up in the New Yorker and New York Times. At the time of her disappearance, however, she was living in a mental institution for obsessively hammering out “Chopsticks.”

To explain Glory’s disappearance, the book then flashes back 18 months. Wordlessly, readers enter into Glory’s house, then flip through the family photo album, which feels authentically vintage with its imperfect snapshots of Glory’s small family. At age 8, Glory lost her mother to a motorcycle accident — a trag-

edy that is underscored in the father-and-daughter Christmas card from 2000 thanking recipients for their “support during this difficult year.”

Glory and her family aren’t real, of course. They’re actors, as the credits at the back of the book make clear. But presenting them through photographs lends an authenticity and emotionality to this story of a girl’s descent into madness, which morphs into a romance when a boy named Frank Mendoza moves in next door.

It isn’t overtly stated, but based on his airplane boarding pass, a map, a soccer ball and Spanish-language edition of J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye,” it appears Frank is from Argentina.

Being incredibly attractive and of the same age, Glory and Frank begin to hang out, despite the disapproval of Glory’s father. Their bond solidifies through a shared love of the arts. Frank is a student at an all-boys school.

Many of those drawings are included in the book’s text. In the app version, they’re often animated. Links to the videos Frank shoots with the camera he received for his birthday are likewise referenced in the print version of “Chopsticks” through video stills and YouTube addresses embedded in snippets of instant messaging that the two send each other. Readers of the e-version can link through and watch them.

Glory’s story would be intriguing enough as text, but the use of real-world objects to visually play out the action is in a way more revealing.

Readers see signs of Glory’s mental impairment through marked-up passages in Sylvia Plath’s “The Bell Jar.” They feel her desperation when she passes out on a keyboard, her devotion to Frank through written postcards.

Pictures are not only worth a thousand words in “Chopsticks.” In hands as talented as Anthony’s and Corral’s, they’re just as emotionally resonant.

‘ROUGH-HEWN LAND’

Genealogy of the West’s landscape “Rough-Hewn Land: A Geologic Journey From California to the Rocky Mountains”

by Keith Heyer Meldahl (University of California Press, $34.95)

By Bettina Boxall Los Angeles Times

Think of the West and what comes to mind are vertiginous peaks, sculpted tablelands and the infinite vistas of basin and range country. In other words, geology.

Westerners live in the shadow of mountains that are still rising, on the edge of a continent on the move, over fault systems that can unleash the power of nuclear bombs. More so than any other region of the country, we are defined by geology.

In “Rough-Hewn Land,” Keith Heyer Meldahl takes us on a field trip from San Francisco to the Rocky Mountains, tracing the genealogy of the landscape. He seasons the story with historical accounts and a synthesis of evolving geologic theory, providing a fascinating guide to the formation of the West.

“Geology,” Meldahl writes, “is stranger than fiction.” How did material that was once buried miles beneath the Pacific seabed in the deep ocean wind up a rock in the Sierra Nevada with a pine tree poking out of it? How did the Rockies, far from the classic mountain-building forces of the continental edge, get tall enough to leave hikers gasping for oxygen?

The answers lie in the ancient forces of plate tectonics, volcanism and up-

heaval that birthed the West and continue to shape it. If there is an overarching theme of the book, it is that the region remains geologically alive.

The Pacific Plate, which includes coastal Southern California, is creeping to the Northwest at a rate of about 2 inches a year. The Great Basin is stretching, annually adding a halfinch to the distance between Reno and Salt Lake City. In 1872, the Sierra Nevada in an instant lurched 6 feet when one of the most violent earthquakes in California’s recorded history jolted the Owens Valley, nearly leveling Lone Pine and killing more than two dozen residents.

Fittingly for a state full of immigrants, it turns out that, geologically speaking, California isn’t native either.

“Wherever you stand in this state, if your feet are on bedrock, the odds are that you’re standing on an immigrant, reeled in by subduction from the far reaches of the Pacific in the process of assembling California,” writes Meldahl, a geology professor at MiraCosta College in San Diego County.

As the Pacific floor spread, fed by lava welling up from midocean ridges, it collided with the westward-creeping North American plate and plunged under it. During the last 200 million years, ancient seabed was scraped off and left behind, attaching itself to the continent’s edge and incrementally building the Golden State.

As Californians know all too well, earthquake faults mark plate boundaries. But Meldahl, who cites an exten-

sive bibliography, says the common perception that the San Andreas fault marks the edge of the North American Plate is wrong. Rather, he argues that there are a series of fault systems, including those in eastern California, that are breaking up the continent’s southwestern corner. “The message is clear — the western 500 miles of the southwestern United States are slowly tearing away from the rest of the continent.”

The good news: In 15 million more years or so, there will be more oceanfront real estate: “Every likely projection points to one conclusion: continental fragmentation and eventual

beachfront property in the deserts of the American West.”

But all those L.A. haters waiting for the Southland to sink into the Pacific are going to be disappointed. Even when it splits from the mainland, coastal California will be too buoyant to disappear into the Earth’s mantle.

Meldahl has a sense of humor. In one photo, he uses crumpled beer cans to illustrate his point. He also intertwines history with geology, explaining the origins of the gold that launched California’s Gold Rush (Hint: It came from somewhere else) and Nevada’s mineral wealth. Settlers crossing the Sierra had to dismantle their wagons and hoist them up the eastern face of the range because glaciers had chiseled it into a daunting obstacle.

He quotes 19th-century explorer and geologist John Wesley Powell’s puzzlement over rivers in the Northern Rockies that cut through ridges they could have easily flowed around.

Powell didn’t have the right answer: He thought the rivers preceded the mountains.

The mountains are in fact much older. In what geologists call “The Exhumation,” the rivers — aided by uplift and ancient climate change — washed away the sand and gravel that had all but buried the Rockies.

Informative and highly readable, “Rough-Hewn Land” belongs on the shelf of any Westerner curious about how that stunning view through the windshield came to be.

‘Beautiful Forevers’ He went to film school, brings a Mumbai and wound up with a book slum into the light “Film School”

by Steve Boman (BenBella Books, $16.95)

• Reporter-author expertly weaves a true, telling tale “Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity”

by Katherine Boo (Random House, 256 pgs., $27)

By Janet Maslin New York Times News Service

“Zehrunisa Husain was a tear-factory even on good days; it was one of her chief ways of starting conversations,” Katherine Boo writes in “Beyond the Beautiful Forevers,” her exquisitely accomplished first book. Novelists dream of defining characters this swiftly and beautifully, but Boo is not a novelist. She is one of those rare, deepdigging journalists who can make truth surpass fiction, a documentarian with a superb sense of human drama. She makes it very easy to forget that this book is the work of a reporter.

Half an acre. 335 huts.

3,000 people. And a concrete wall that is supposed to hide them from view: This is Annawadi, the Mumbai slum that comes vibrantly to life in this book’s pages. Boo says she chose Annawadi because the scale of this “sumpy plug of slum” bordering a lake of sewage was small, and its location was fraught with possibilities. Annawadi sits beside the road to the Mumbai airport, on “a stretch where new India and old India collided and made new India late.” In 2008, at the time the events in the book unfolded, scavenging and trash sorting were the children of Annawadi’s most promising career choices.

Much of the focus is on Zehrunisa and her oldest son, Abdul. One of Abdul’s brothers dreams of having a “clean job” at one of the nearby hotels. (“He’d heard of waiters who spent all day putting toothpicks into pieces of cheese, or aligning knives and forks on tables.”)

But Abdul is more of a pragmatist and has made himself an expert at trading in refuse.

“It was a fine time to be a garbage trader, not that that was the term passersby used for Abdul,” Boo writes.

“Some called him garbage, and left it at that.”

Without condescending to her subjects in the slightest, Boo explains that dreams

By Chris Erskine

of upward mobility are just barely possible in Annawadi.

And Zehrunisa’s family has set out to renovate the kitchen of the hut in which they live.

The book takes its peculiar title from sunshine-yellow ads for ceramic tile that are painted on the concrete wall that hides Annawadi: The ad series repeats the words “Beautiful” and “Forever.” Behind those “beautiful forevers,” Zehrunisa wants some of that tile for her own.

It is a calamitous desire.

And Boo sets forth the stepby-step process of ruination that it brings. The kitchen wall that is being renovated is shared by two dwellings; on the other side lives Fatima, a one-legged woman.

One day, when the wall is being banged on, Fatima erupts in fury. “There is rubble in my rice!” she shouts.

“It’s my wall to break, prostitute,” Zehrunisa shouts back. The fight escalates quickly to what, in the hands of another writer, would be a sickeningly lurid moment, but Boo presents it with devastating understatement. Fatima becomes so furious that she sets herself on fire. She survives just long enough to lie about what happened. As a consequence, Abdul is accused of murder.

How does Boo know the details? A staff writer for The New Yorker and a Pulitzer Prize winner for her work at The Washington Post, she spent three and a half years in the midst of her subjects.

She used written notes, video recordings, audiotapes and photographs; some of the children of the book used her Flip video camera to document events. She also made use of more than 3,000 public records.

The Fatima catastrophe is at the heart of this book. But Boo never milks her material for pathos; she doesn’t have to. By simply describing Abdul’s experiences at the hands of India’s criminal justice system, she reveals a degree of casual corruption that would stun even the most jaded cynic.

By accepting the amount of sewage, literal and moral, that pervades life in Annawadi, she delivers something much more powerful than an outright indictment. The book’s cover, with an image of abject squalor, does not do justice to its agile prose, wry tone and surprisingly upbeat theatrics.

Comparison to Dickens is not unwarranted.

Los Angeles Times

I’ve always thought of advanced degrees in filmmaking as finishing school for misfits.

Brilliant misfits, some of them.

But misfits just the same.

Into the film school world stumbles Steve Boman, a former reporter seeking a midlife U-turn. Astoundingly, even to him, the father of three has been accepted into the graduate program at the University of Southern California’s esteemed School of Cinematic Arts, where he will compete against hipsters half his age in the series of ever-larger student films over the course of a threeyear program.

If you’re thinking “Paper Chase” for the movie set, you wouldn’t be far off. USC is, after all, the equivalent of the Harvard Law School of filmmaking, with all the quirks, all-night study sessions and faculty mind games such elite institutions seem to produce.

In “Film School,” Boman writes casually and very personally of his experiences. He doesn’t pull a lot of punches, but neither does he mock his cohorts and instructors, though the temptation must have been mighty. In true moviemaking fashion, he sets the scene and lets it play out for the reader: “(Our instructor) appears to be sleeping or meditating or just plain ignoring us. We students file past and quietly take a seat. We hardly know each other, much less who this guy is. We think he’s the lead instructor, but maybe he’s a wayward parent or a homeless guy.

A couple of my classmates look at me questioningly, wondering if I have a clue what’s going on.

I shrug. I know as little as they do.”

Boman’s early experiences in his various classes make for challenging little scenarios all their own. Without much experience, for instance, the film editing software confounds him more than it does his younger and more experienced colleagues.

As a former journalist, he seems to have an easier time with the curriculum’s writing demands. A natural storyteller, Boman ends up with uncommon success in the program, but not without a lot of stumbling along the way.

“True to form in my first semester of film school, the highs and lows are quickly swapped. It’s an amusement park ride, a veritable manic

depressive’s paradise.”

After his first year, Boman decides to drop out, citing financial strains and the often unreliable classmates fixated on producing zombie films.

Then, in a real-life plotline most screenwriters would dismiss — he decides to return to school six months later, only to suffer a stroke after a long drive back from the Midwest.

Now, really on his own, Boman faces a low point in his midlife journey.

Doctors diagnose a congenital hole in his heart and an autoimmune disorder that probably contributed to the stroke. None of it is immediately lifethreatening, but neither is it comforting — nor even 100 percent certain.

Add it all up and Boman is 42 years old, spending a small fortune on film school, residing 2,000 miles from his family and facing uncertain health.

Boman’s physical challenges eventually begin to ease. But his personal setbacks reinforce what he determines about film school and the entertainment business as a whole: Nobody succeeds without an astounding amount of passion and persever-

ance. In fact, Boman eventually excels, amid directing partners who fail to show, instructors who both badger and inspire him, and the economic stresses that an expensive grad school place on his young family.

After figuring out how to manage the film production program’s feverish pace, he begins to nail his student films and earn the respect of his younger classmates.

By the time he graduates, Boman has sold a medical drama to a network, a feat accomplished during a class pitch session to industry professionals, one of the many perks to a place like USC. The pilot, “Three Rivers,” eventually makes it to air.

“I tell the bartender to give me a drink of single-malt scotch,” he writes. “I order the biggest steak they have. I order drinks for the guy on my right and the couple on my left. When they ask me what the reason is, I tell them: ‘I just sold a television show to CBS.’” To say this is almost unheard of for even a USC film student would be selling it short. Yet, it does give Boman’s rigorous grad school experience — which nearly killed him — a true feel-good ending.

And isn’t that what Hollywood is all about?

Beef prices jump over the moon?

By Georgina Gustin St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — For anyone who loves a good steak, a juicy burger or a nice Sunday roast, these are anxious times.

Prices for beef, which have been climbing for months, hit a record high in December — an average of $5 a pound — and analysts predict they could climb 5 to 8 percent higher this year.

“Prices have gone up quite a bit. That usually happens around the holidays, but we expect them to come down,” said Pam Neal, owner of the steak-centric Al’s Restaurant in St. Louis.

“Not this time. They’re going to be jumping even higher. It’s hard to handle.”

Beef prices are soaring for a number of reasons.

Producers, who struggled with high feed costs and diminishing profits, began shrinking their herds roughly five years ago.

Since then, demand from overseas markets has shot up — a record 11 percent of American beef went overseas last year, up from 8.7 percent in 2010.

In July, the U.S. beef herd had dropped to its lowest point since 1958.

Also, last year, a drought in Texas and Oklahoma, the top two cattle-producing states, forced producers to cull herds. As a result, the number of cattle in the U.S. fell 2 percent from the beginning of 2011 to 90.8 million head, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported last week.

“There’s not enough beef out there,” said Ron Plain, an agricultural economist with the University of Missouri. “This year, there’s going to be less beef, more people, the supply is going to be tighter and that means more records.”

See Beef / G5

On the rise Prices for beef overall hit a record high in December.

Even prices for economical ground chuck have climbed in the past five years.

Average price per pound of ground chuck in December: • 2007: $2.70 • 2008: $3.00 • 2009: $2.83 • 2010: $2.93 • 2011: $3.27 Source: USDA

The two dramas already lead the Best Picture pack at the box office, with “War Horse” passing “Moneyball” over the weekend, according to estimates, to become the second most popular nominee, behind “The Help,” which had domestic ticket sales of about $170 million.

Behind the scenes, however, executives at DreamWorks and its partners are quietly opening discussions that in the next few months will determine its future and answer a broader question about the state of Hollywood: Can a faltering film industry sustain a company that insists on making ambitious, Oscar-caliber, studio-sized films — but without the deep pockets of a Viacom, which owns Paramount Pictures, or a News Corp., the parent of 20th Century Fox?

or some of the thousands of Oregonians who lost their jobs in the Great Recession, devastation has led to innovation.

Oregon lost about 148,100 jobs during the recession, which officially began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009.

To earn, or supplement, their income, the unemployed and underemployed — those who cannot find full-time work — have found new ways to make ends meet.

Hours no longer filled by a job have driven people to take ideas they’ve had on the back burner and turn them into businesses, Maureen Quinn, business adviser at the Small Business Development Center at Central Oregon Community College, said.

Quinn said people are thinking, “If not now, when?”

And, “If not me, who?”

A number of those attending her Launch Your Business course come with ideas based on their expertise, or craftsmanship, ranging from retail food outlets to jewelry making, Quinn said.

While those types of businesses do not always become a steady source of income, Quinn said, they can serve as an “income patch,” bringing in additional cash while working another job or searching for a new one.

Many of her students, she said, came from the construction industry, which lost the highest percentage of jobs. Manufacturing was not far behind.

Construction employment reached an all-time high in July of 2007, providing 105,100 jobs in Oregon. By September of 2010, it had dropped to 66,400, according to Employment Department statistics.

As of the third quarter last year, 38 percent of those working in construction four years earlier were still employed in the industry, according to the Employment Department. Twenty-two percent were employed in other industries, and wage records could not specifically account for the remaining 40 percent.

Three Bend residents affected by the recession and its aftermath agreed to share their stories with The Bulletin on the ways they created new jobs or made ends meet.

A government-backed Indianapolis battery maker that was to supply Think wrote off a $73 million investment in the car company and on Thursday declared bankruptcy.

Two unrelated electric truck makers Indiana planned to nurture have yet to get off the ground.

WHAT’S YOUR WORTH?

How to put a price on your own work

By Alina Tugend New York Times News Service

When I first started as a freelance writer, I was eager to sell myself — but not eager to have to discuss money. So I more or less took whatever was offered.

Then I read somewhere that no matter what price a new client states, you always say in a polite but firm tone, “I expected more.” The first time I tried it, I was sweating and I doubt my tone was firm — it probably sounded more like pleading — but to my great surprise, it worked. With that one sentence, I made an extra few hundred dollars.

Negotiating a salary when you have a job can be stressful enough. But as more people are choosing, or being forced, to strike out on their own, they face the issue of deciding what to charge prospective clients.

Ask for too little and you feel cheated. Ask for too much and you may be pricing yourself out of the market. So what do you do?

At the most basic, you need to know what people in your field charge. This is true whether you are a marketing consultant, graphic designer or, like Mike Stoner, a professional magician.

“You have very little information to go on, and it’s very easy to aim too high or even worse, too low,” Stoner said in an email. “You really don’t want someone to say, ‘Wow, that’s a bargain,’ which basically translates as ‘We would have been happy to pay much more than that!’”

DreamWorks

with Walt Disney Studios but has also worked with other partners, will be able to maintain its ambitious course.

If not, it might have to proceed with a smaller slate of films or potentially less impressive projects, these people say. Whether DreamWorks would even be interested in making lower-risk, lower-profile movies, however, is far from clear.

DreamWorks began making movies in 2009 after raising only half of the hoped-for financing from Reliance and lenders. Despite a top-shelf pedigree — Spielberg is by far the best-selling movie director in history, and Snider oversaw hits like “Bruce Almighty� and “The Bourne Identity� while chairwoman of Universal Pictures — the company scratched for more than a year to assemble backing during a worldwide financial collapse in which the number of banks engaged in entertainment lending fell from more than 40 to fewer than a dozen.

During that hunt for funds, Reliance and Anil Ambani, the chairman of its parent, stood by a commitment to invest in the venture, even as the terms of the involvement became less favorable. But Reliance put up less than a contemplated $550 million in equity, as it became impossible to raise $750 million in loans to go with it. The hoped-for $1.3 billion total would have seen DreamWorks through this Oscar season and perhaps into 2014.

Instead, the company’s resources are nearly played out, even while the potential from its first round of films remains uncertain. “The Help,� “War Horse,� and, by a whisker, “Real Steel,� appear poised to make money, once their full run is complete.

But “Cowboys & Aliens� (released by Universal), “I Am Number Four,� “Fright Night� and “Dinner for Schmucks� (released by Paramount) were soft at the box office, and either lost money or made too little to create a strong portfolio for investors.

Continued from G1 Created four years ago by Steven Spielberg and Stacey Snider in partnership with Reliance Entertainment, an Indian financier, DreamWorks was a successor to DreamWorks SKG. The earlier DreamWorks was an independent studio that was created amid much fanfare by three Hollywood heavyweights — Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. Eventually they sold it to Paramount and briefly worked with the studio in what became a failed marriage.

(The new DreamWorks is unrelated to the publicly held DreamWorks Animation.)

Over the years, small, independently financed companies — some with their own distribution mechanisms, others, like DreamWorks, without — have generated hits, only to disappear or be merged into larger corporations. Miramax Films was acquired by Disney after releasing “The Crying Game,� a box-office success and Best Picture nominee; Disney has since sold the unit.

Summit Entertainment was recently sold to Lions Gate; Summit investors saw the end of their blockbuster “Twilight� series as a prime moment to cash out.

For smaller film companies, the hunger for capital is a perennial problem. Making a studio-level film can require an immediate investment of $100 million or more.

But even the hits pay back their investors slowly, over a cycle that may last as long as 10 years, as movies are sold successively in theaters, on DVDs, to Internet streaming and cable television services and so on.

Alternative ending?

DreamWorks is now in the ticklish position of having nearly exhausted its first round of financing, which included $325 million in equity from Reliance, and a matching $325 million in lending from banks led by J. P. Morgan Securities. An original plan called for more from each, but the struggles of the national economy brought the investment up short. Now, DreamWorks is left to line up new financing at a time when movies are struggling.

Attendance at North American movie theaters hit a 16year low last year. DVD sales continue to drop. Although some emerging overseas markets are picking up steam, Europe and other important sales territories are uneven.

And there are no indications of an immediate reversal of the trends.

So the question becomes whether, or to what extent, Reliance and allied lenders are prepared to back another round. Executives from Reliance and DreamWorks declined to discuss their plans.

Over the weekend, however, they said in a joint email that they remained pleased with their partnership. “Our relationship has always been structured to allow us to adapt to changing market conditions and to create the best chance for success for all parties involved,� they said in a statement. Speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid conflict with executives of the companies, people familiar with the situation said talks about further financing will probably open in the next few weeks. The outcome will determine whether DreamWorks, which distributes its films under a long-term deal

Spielberg-vision Spielberg is currently finishing “Lincoln,� partially financed by DreamWorks, with additional backing from Participant Media and Fox. Fox is co-financing another Spielberg film, the sci-fi thriller “Robopocalypse,� which is set for release in July 2013 by Disney in the United States and

by Fox abroad.

Despite rumblings in Hollywood of friction between DreamWorks and Disney, their distribution partnership is solid, with roughly four years yet to run. “DreamWorks provides a diverse slate that’s a key part of our release strategy, and we’re pleased with the results so far,� Rich Ross, Disney’s movie chairman, said in an email.

And DreamWorks has cofinancing avenues to pursue.

Fox, which has previously worked closely with Spielberg, appears ready to continue supporting individual projects. Participant, meanwhile, is eager to help pay for issues-oriented films like “The Help,� which it backed in part. “We plan to continue to work together on at least one film per year,� James Berk, Participant’s chief executive, said in an email.

But the pace of film production and development has already slowed for DreamWorks and its 80 employees, who work from a complex on the Universal Studios lot.

Freelance Continued from G1 But how do you find out?

Consult with others in the field. Especially if you are just starting, many professionals will be eager to help.

Roy Cohen, a career counselor who has provided outplacement services to Goldman Sachs employees, said that when he first started, his competitors were not threatened. “They didn’t consider me competition,� he said, “and therefore shared information.�

Surveying friends or colleagues who have hired consultants in your area is a “very efficient way to determine a fee structure,� said Cohen, who wrote “The Wall Street Professional’s Survival Guide� (Financial Times Press, 2010).

Professional organizations are another great way to find out information. I belong to the American Society of Journalists and Authors. In one section of the group’s website, members can anonymously report what they were paid for jobs.

Colleen Plimpton, a garden consultant for three years, said she joined the Garden Writers Association to learn about prevailing wages. “There is a lot of free information available, but with many sites it’s not easy to find, so you have to hone your research skills,� said Leanne Hoagland-Smith, whose company, Advanced Systems, offers executive coaching focusing on small businesses.

She found that the American Society for Training and Development and SherpaCoaching were valuable resources.

Full disclosure But money is only one part of the negotiation, and it’s crucial to know what all your objectives are before talking to a client.

What does the contract say? If you’re a writer or graphic artist or logo designer, say, will you own the rights or will someone else? For how long? Will the work appear under your name or someone else’s? Is the client well known and possibly helpful to your career? If so, are you willing to take less for the long-term benefits that may offer?

Sometimes, especially when starting, underpricing yourself is a good strategy.

My sister, who was a marketing consultant, then took time off, is just returning to the job market. When bidding on her first job recently, she deliberately lowballed her work. “I wanted to get some practice and get my confidence up,� she said.

It’s also important to realize that you have to constantly revise and change as a business develops.

Kate Gilbert, a Web developer in Massachusetts, said, for instance, that she started out charging hourly rates when working by herself.

But when she teamed with a friend who is a Web designer and started a business, Wide Open Sites, last year, “we had dozens of different clients and we were constantly asking each other, ‘What’s the rate for this one?’ It made it difficult when dividing up

Rick Friedman / New York Times News Service

Kate Gilbert, a freelance Web developer, increased her rate after hearing that her fees were lower than average. Negotiating a salary when you have a job can be stressful, but as more people are choosing, or being forced, to strike out on their own, they face the issue of deciding what to charge prospective clients.

the payments.�

So they decided to set a flat rate based on an hourly fee, which they do not disclose to customers, because they want clients to focus on the project, not on the time it will take. “Back in 2005, when I started as an independent contractor, I charged about $30 an hour,� Gilbert said.

She started hearing from potential clients that her fees were lower than average, “so we kept pushing the envelope.� Now they charge $80 to $140 an hour.

Asking for more money, especially from customers you’ve worked with before, isn’t easy for most people. One option is to state that your own costs have risen and, therefore, you need to pass them on.

You can “take the coward’s strategy and say, ‘I intend to accept this assignment and I’m very excited, but I wonder if there’s any wiggle room with the fee,’� Cohen said.

If money isn’t available, maybe there are other ways you can parlay the customer’s resources to your advantage.

Stoner, the magician, offered an example. “I might say, ‘OK, instead of 300, how about if I do it for 200 but you give me a link on your website and let me take a few pictures for my business blog?’�

Most important, don’t feel

intimidated and underestimate your own worth. You’re not asking for a favor but engaging in a business transaction. It can be easy to lose sight of that. “You need to point out what additional value you offer,�

Hoagland-Smith said. “It’s not just price point. If that was the case, we’d all be driving Yugos and eating at McDonald’s.�

And, of course, what you ask for will depend on where you live. “I can’t charge in the Midwest what some of my colleagues can charge on the East Coast,� she added.

Negotiating the actual fee is difficult, but that’s only the beginning. Gilbert says that as issues arise with clients, she is constantly adding clauses to her contracts.

She has put in stipulations, for example, about how much it will cost if a customer decides to make changes after approving the design. Or if a customer delays and forces the project to run longer than the anticipated timeline.

Also, charging a certain amount and getting paid can

be very different things. “Make sure to invoice early and follow up gently,� Cohen said. Here’s one way: “I’m checking my unpaid invoices and noticed that I have not yet received payment from you.

Please check your records and let’s discuss. I’ll take the liberty to follow up with you immediately.�

At worst, there’s always small claims court, but few people want to put out that kind of time and energy. Another option is simply to walk away and, of course, never deal with that client again.

Working for yourself can be wonderful and incredibly difficult at the same time, say those who have taken the plunge. “I love what I do, but this has been the most challenging year of my life,� Gilbert said. “I just want people to pay me for the work I do.�

Electric

Where did the money come from?

Continued from G1 Indiana’s foray into electric vehicles is a cautionary tale for states in hot pursuit of high-tech manufacturing jobs.

Think’s story illustrates how politicians so badly wanted to stimulate job growth that they showered it and the battery supplier with tax breaks and incentives while at the same time failing to determine whether there was a market for the car: a plastic two-seater with a top speed of about 65 miles an hour and a price tag approaching $42,000.

“Where’s the value?” Gregg Fore, an Elkhart recreational vehicle industry executive, said of Think. “I could buy a golf cart for five grand if that’s what I wanted to drive.”

Fore says the federal and state governments as well as Elkhart subsidized the Think project apparently believing those breaks would drive down the vehicle’s price and make the cars more attractive.

“By giving money to the battery company and electric car company, they are saying, ‘We want you to buy their products even though we know you don’t want them.’”

Indiana’s total losses aren’t immediately known. Katelyn Hancock, a spokeswoman for the Indiana Economic Development Corp., the state’s economic development arm, declined to disclose how much battery maker Ener1 and Think had received in taxpayer-funded credits and incentives, claiming such information is confidential. Ener1 also refused to provide the information.

What is known, however, is that both the Obama and Bush administrations poured millions of dollars into battery production in a quest to power thousands of Think City vehicles with lithium-ion batteries.

To date, Ener1, parent of the battery company, has spent $55 million in federal funding, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

In hindsight, some analysts say government backing of the car didn’t seem like a bad investment. “It looked like electric vehicles were it in 2008.

It really did,” said Theodore O’Neill, an analyst who has followed the electric car industry. “You had the government calling the shots and doling the money out with the major (automakers).”

Still, O’Neill says he wouldn’t buy such a car. “For $40,000, you can get a certified pre-owned BMW convertible and a Vespa scooter. Both of them. And if you want to have a good time, put the top down.”

General Motors’ Chevrolet Volt electric car also comes for about the same price.

Indiana’s quest to become the electric vehicle capital of the United States was boosted by millions of tax dollars pledged from every level of government. Two of the companies receiving this aid have since filed for bankruptcy. Two more have yet to produce any jobs in the state.

Not thought through Think City’s plant, a 10-minute drive from Elkhart’s Main Street, appears all but abandoned these days. When a reporter visited recently, the parking lot was empty and the visitor entrance and lobby were laced with cobwebs. A single pickup truck and a sign telling visitors to ring the buzzer were the only signs of life near the rear of the building.

Inside two men were quietly baby-sitting the plant, awaiting headlights and seatbelts from Europe so the cars would meet U.S. standards.

What eventually happens to these cars isn’t clear. No one in Elkhart could point to a local executive in charge of production. A person identified as a spokesman declined to comment, saying he was no longer on the payroll.

The person who may have the most to say about Think’s future also isn’t talking. Russian investor Boris Zingarevich bought Think Global, the Norwegian parent company, at auction a month after its bankruptcy.

Reached by phone in Russia, Slava Bychkov, a spokesman for Ilim Group, said he could not provide details of the car company’s future.

“The management is now under the restart process and will communicate their strategy in (the) near future,” Bychkov said.

The situation is a far cry from what was envisioned in 2009: a bustling plant building cars that would be part of the American dream of a gasoline-free future. Every level of government, from the city to the state to the federal government, bought into the dream by pledging millions of dollars in incentives and tax breaks to Think, which promised to build those cars.

In the two years that followed, Daniels announced deals across the state that he said would bring electric vehicle-related employment: 1,600 jobs in Elkhart County for hybrid pick-up trucks, 300 jobs in Central Indiana for plug-in hybrid work trucks.

The truck ventures have yet to get off the ground. Ener1, the battery supplier to Think with three locations in Indiana, envisioned creating 1,400 jobs; Think itself was supposed to create 415 jobs in Indiana.

Vice President Joe Biden seized on the excitement over Think, posing a year ago beside a car to promote the battery company. He heralded the battery maker as one of “100 Recovery Act Projects changing America,” putting people back to work and helping transform the economy.

President Barack Obama swooped into Elkhart three times, turning the battered city into a poster child for an economy in need of government intervention. Unemployment had topped 20 percent as the recreational vehicle industry, which during its peak employed as many as 50,000 people in Elkhart County, had nose-dived and failed to recover. That Think City had set up shop in a massive building where RV windows and doors were once manufactured was seen as a sign of rebirth.

Everyone involved apparently became so jazzed about jobs that they didn’t spend much time thinking about who would buy Think cars. “I would get knots in my stomach. What are we going to do? Your heart ached because you knew how hungry they were for jobs,” said Dorinda Heiden-Guss, president of the Economic Development Corporation of Elkhart County.

Barkley Garrett, Elkhart’s economic development director, said, “You have to look at it in the context of dealing with almost 20 percent unemployment. When you have one out of every five people in your community out of work — every job looks like a good job.”

Morever, Think City fit neatly into Elkhart’s goal of attracting technology companies, Garrett said. It seemed to make sense. “The diversification was great. The number of jobs, the amount of investment,” Garrett added.

Think was to have 415 workers by 2013. By the end of 2011, it was projected to produce 2,500 vehicles with the potential to build 60,000 cars a year.

Crash and burn The concept worked like this: The first cars were produced in Europe, then shipped to Elkhart where seatbelts and headlights would be replaced to meet U.S. standards. Ultimately, the entire car was to be produced in the Midwest.

Think’s future looked bright in December 2010. Daniels proudly accepted the first 15 Think vehicles at a news conference at Fort Harrison State Park, to be used by the Department of Natural Resources, thanks to federal tax incentives and a $5 million grant from the federal government.

But it didn’t take long for things to start to unravel. The vehicle launched in the U.S. at the end of 2010 with a sticker price of $41,695, about $8,000 above Think’s previously announced target price. As a result, sales were a fraction of what had been projected. At its height, Think City’s plant only employed 25 people. And most of the 200 or so vehicles Think City sold in the U.S. were to government fleets, sweetened by government subsidies.

Recalls added to Think’s woes. The first, in January 2011, was related to improperly installed seat belts. A month later, a recall involved defective defroster systems.

Finally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined the car had a tendency to slip out of the park position.

The recalls occurred just as a $5 million loan from battery partner Ener1 was coming due. When Think couldn’t pay, battery company Ener1 lent an additional $10 million to keep the car company afloat because it needed a buyer for its batteries.

In May, Ener1 wrote off its $73 million stake in Think.

The following month, Think Global filed for bankruptcy in Norway listing $32 million it owed Ener1.

The bankruptcy marked Think’s fourth trip through bankruptcy court, and the ramifications for Ener1 were profound. The recipient of a $118.5 million Department of Energy grant saw its shares tumble to pennies and its shares delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. Shareholders sued, claiming management hadn’t flagged the severity of Think’s financial woes when they decided to invest in the battery maker.

On Thursday, Ener1 itself filed for bankruptcy in New York. About 275 Indiana em-

ployees are expected to continue with the company as it restructures through a prepackaged bankruptcy, the U.S. Energy Department said Thursday.

The company will receive $81 million in private capital, DOE spokesperson Jen Stutsman said. That investment, she said, “demonstrates that

the (battery) technology has merit.”

For now, a plan to invest $237 million in a third Ener1 facility in Indiana in Mt. Comfort — expected to produce enough batteries for 60,000 electric cars — is on hold.

Brian Sinderson, a spokesman for the battery company, said it plans to continue to

provide batteries to customers in the electric grid, transportation and industrial markets and intends to fulfill its commitments to the grants and incentives it has been awarded. In its most recent report as a recipient of the Recovery Act, Ener1 had spent $55 million of its 50/50 cost-sharing grant.

Beef Continued from G1 Compounding matters for beef lovers are soaring feed, fuel and production costs, which are forcing price increases all along the production chain.

“Look at our fertilizer costs, our grain costs. Any piece of machinery we buy has just gone up,” said Tom Sachs, who raises cattle in Missouri’s St. Charles County. “Our input costs are just really high.”

For the cattle industry in general, the numbers come as good news. Prices, per pound for a steer, have topped $1.70 of late, compared with about 95 cents five years ago. For the average 1,300-pound steer, that adds up.

“Times are good,” said Mike Miller, of Cattlefax, a Colorado-based cattle industry research firm. “Our expectation is it’s going to be good for some time.”

Less of a beefy appetite But the good times for the industry have not come without some trials, and some work in courting overseas markets.

Since 1980, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, per capita beef consumption has plummeted 25 percent. In 2011, the average American consumed 57.6 pounds of beef, down 13 percent from a decade prior.

This year, the number is predicted to decline again to 54.1 pounds.

The reasons for the decline are difficult to isolate. But they include health concerns over the higher fat content in red meat, worries about humane treatment and links to environmental problems, including greenhouse gases — all of which have gotten a lot of attention in recent years. Some people point to public health campaigns, such as “Meatless

David Means, ringmaster and proprietor of Callaway Livestock Center, wrangles four head of feeder cattle at a weekly auction in Callaway County, Mo. Beef prices are projected to increase by 5 percent this year.

Mondays,” launched by the Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, for the shrinking numbers.

The industry insists the American appetite for beef is still strong, while some analysts and researchers suggest the decline, at least in recent years, is simply because of the recession.

“These noneconomic factors are really tough to talk about,” said Scott Brown, a livestock economist with the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Center at the University of Missouri. “Frankly, when the consumer goes to the store or restaurant, it’s the

relative price that’s driving their decision.”

Whatever the reason for the decline, the country’s cattle producers have helped compensate for it by making inroads into overseas markets, particularly in Asia.

“Worldwide consumption of meat and demand has increased,” said Jeff Windett, who heads the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association. “I think it’s just good business sense to expand market opportunities for producers.”

Overseas markets also embrace pieces of the animal that Americans typically don’t consume, bringing more dollars to American beef producers.

Construction job losses

Continued from G1

The construction industry in Oregon began shedding jobs in late 2007, did not stop until September 2010.

Dave Gockel, 52 A third generation contractor, Dave Gockel saw homebuilding and remodeling work dry up in the recession. But he still needed to provide for his family, he said, so he turned his idea for a scooter rack into a business.

“When you don’t have jobs coming in, and you’re waiting on bids, you’re looking for something that’s more consistent and isn’t a huge investment,” said Gockel, who owns Gockel Homes Inc. Last summer, Gockel started The Scooter Rack with his wife, Kim, 41. While he continues working in his construction business, he said the small business he runs out of his Bend home helps pay the bills.

The racks, which give children a place on a wall to hang their metal scooters, come in five different colors and provide an alternative to leaving them around the yard and garage, he said.

Since his business started, Gockel said he’s sold about 200 scooter racks, which cost $14 each, through his website and word of mouth, but he plans on selling the product through local children’s stores this year. Eventually, he hopes The Scooter Rack will be his main source of income.

his new metalworking business his full-time career.

“If I can make this work, I would do this for good,” said the Bend resident.

Seeley was laid off by Cessna Aircraft Co., which eliminated 500 jobs in the six months before closing its Bend factory in April of 2009.

Ironically, he bought Cessna’s metal fabrication equipment to pursue his passion and start Superior Design Metalworks in March.

He had made metal garden decorations, such as plant hangers and bird-bath stands, for his family. It led to more work and then the business.

Seeley later saw an advertisement for granite and marble remnants and purchased the materials. He learned to work with stone and began

incorporating it into the furniture and decorative pieces he calls functional art.

Adding stone, Seeley said, has broadened the type of pieces he can create.

“I pride myself on being a very imaginative artist,” he said. “I like to make things very ornate.”

Seeley said he’s sold about 30 different pieces, ranging from wrought iron tables with granite and marble tabletops to plant stands and end tables.

Seeley’s work is displayed in seven stores in Bend.

Steve Mastrud, 47 But maintaining a business selling handcrafted luxury or decorative items can be difficult in a down economy, said Steve Mastrud, owner of Golden Eagle Enterprises.

Mastrud is trying to keep his Bend monument and memorial business afloat by taking on a second job performing annual sprinkler flow tests.

“Craft businesses are very difficult,” Mastrud said.

“There’s so much time involved that it’s difficult to … make money.”

When Mastrud started Golden Eagle Enterprises in 2005, his business centered around customizing new homes through specialty etching, stone carving and sandblasting work on doors, kitchen and bathroom floors, for example, and creating stone signs displayed at entrances to homes, subdivisions or city limits.

Business boomed until 2008, when the construction industry collapsed, resulting in an 80 percent decline in sales, he said.

“At that time I was mainly doing (new) business logos and address markers for new homes,” he said. “When all that stopped and there wasn’t businesses going up or homes being sold, people tightened up with their money.”

In an effort to adjust, Mastrud shifted his focus to monument and memorials, creating granite benches, urns, vases, statues and tombstones.

But Mastrud said a limited market and competition for monument making from the funeral industry, has forced him to take a subcontracting job with Hotshots Fire Protection.

“It takes money to make money,” he said.

for the U.S. beef industry,” Brown said. “There are just a lot of things on the trade front that look to be very positive.”

That will, inevitably, put more pressure on prices in American supermarkets, at least in the short term. Because cattle herds take years to rebuild and require huge amounts of capital, it could be some time before the American cattle inventory can help even out costs to consumers, cattle ranchers say.

Economical cuts In the meantime, retailers, restaurants, butchers and shoppers are all getting creative.

While his monument business isn’t bringing in any income, Mastrud is determined to make it work.

“I’m pretty much broke, but it has potential,” he said. “I have an entrepreneurial heart and am willing to take risks and work hard.”

Recently, for example, St. Louis-area grocer Dierbergs gave away free potatoes, onions and carrots to customers who bought ground beef.

“Customers are almost by default moving toward value cuts,” said Michael Cornelius, the chain’s meat director.

“We’re trying to make sure there are items out there that address the value-consciousness of the customers.”

Fellow grocer Schnucks has seen more customers shifting to cheaper cuts of meat, from round steaks to cube, from top round to chuck roast. Shop ‘n Save said it has seen shoppers responding to sales and buying end cuts, over the past two years.

At Kenrick’s Meat and Catering in St. Louis, the meat counter has seen more customers looking for sales.

“People are eating more pork, but overall they’re just being more economical,” said manager Steven Weinmann.

“They’re buying on sale. When everything was cheaper, people just bought by taste.”

At Kreis’ Steakhouse in Frontenac, Mo., owner George Tompras has been keeping an eye out for good values, too, but says he’s just managing to cover his costs.

“When tenderloins started going up in November, I bought 50 cases at $8 a pound,” he said. “Now it’s 11. That’s the kind of thing you have to do.”

Al’s Restaurant in St. Louis, which just celebrated its 87th year in business, recently made a change to a long-standing tradition. Responding to customers’ concerns, the restaurant decided that instead of just displaying the beef cuts to diners on a tray, it would offer paper menus, with prices.

“We wanted to keep the elegance, the tradition,” Neal explained. “But we wanted to make sure people knew how much something was going to cost.”

Market recap

“Tripe, oxtail, tongue … some of those kinds of meat sell for a lot of money,” Windett explained. “It’s really creating a market for some of those variety meats and adding value to the carcass overall.”

Japan, a major beef importer, restricted U.S. beef in 2003 after an outbreak of mad cow disease but has since eased the barriers. With Japan a major trade destination again, American beef exports are poised to hit another record this year — nearly $5 billion in sales. China, which does not officially import U.S. beef, could be on the horizon.

“It spells a very bright spot

A sporty departure for Land Rover

By Mark Phelan Detroit Free Press

The 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is a rolling reinvention of one of the strongest luxury brands. The sleek and sporty SUV raises as many questions as it answers about Land Rover’s future, though.

R E V IE W The Evoque has won fans and awards, but it sacrifices some of Land Rover’s traditional strengths.

Prices for the Evoque start at $43,145 for a four-door model. The striking, but less accommodating two-door starts at $44,145. The coupe accounts for 10 percent to 20 percent of U.S. Evoque sales.

Land Rover developed the small Evoque to meet tough new fuel economy and emissions standards around the world and to attract new buyers. So far, so good: 85 percent of its buyers have never owned a Land Rover before.

All Evoques feature allwheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter direct-injection fourcylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission.

I tested an option-laden two-door Evoque that stickered at $58,170 — as much or more than comparably equipped competitors. All prices exclude destination charges.

The pricey SUV is considerably smaller than competitors like the Acura RDX, Audi Q5, BMW X3, Cadillac SRX, Infiniti EX 35 and Lexus RX 350.

At 171.5 inches long, it’s about midway between typical small luxury SUVs like the RDX, X3 and Q5 and the very small Mini Cooper S Countryman.

The Evoque provides roomy and comfortable accommodations for the driver and front passenger. Rear access and accommodations are cramped.

The Evoque coupe I tested had an optional two-person rear seat. A three-person bench is also available.

Four-door models offer only the bench — and a bit more headroom.

Cargo space is good. The coupe offers 43 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 47.6 with them folded. In the four-door, cargo capacity with the seats folded reaches 51 cubic feet.

Idled cars need a little attention

A couple months ago I had a seizure. An Q : MRI found a nonmalignant

Range Rover via McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The 2012 Range Rover Evoque responds more like a sports car than an SUV. But poor visibility makes the experience less enjoyable than it could be.

2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Base price: $43,145 As tested: $58,170 Type: All-wheel drive fouror five-passenger two- or four-door luxury SUV Engine: Turbocharged 2.0liter direct-injection DOHC variable-timing 16-valve four-cylinder Mileage: 18 mpg city, 28 mpg highway

The interior of the Evoque I tested was trimmed in highquality, modern materials.

It eschewed Land Rover’s traditional wood in favor of soft surfaces, light colors, strategically placed brightwork and an optional ebony headliner.

The Evoque is very quiet.

The standard fixed-glass roof allows plenty of light in, but I’d rather have a smaller sunroof that opened. The gauges are big and clear, and an 8-inch touch screen provides easy control of many functions, including iPods and navigation. The voicerecognition system works well.

The Evoque’s low, wide shape is a break with Land Rover’s usual upright style.

The thin grille and headlights

wrap all the way across the front and lead the eye to pronounced front wheel arches.

A rising beltline and a roof that tapers down from front to rear form a dynamic profile.

The low roof and high beltline leave little room for windows, a far cry from the outsized sheets of glass that provide a panoramic view from Land Rover’s traditional tall, boxy SUVs. The four-door has slightly larger windows, but I was not able to test that model.

Driving the Evoque is an experience unlike any Land Rover — any SUV, really — before it. It responds more like a sports car than an SUV. The electric power steering is fast and precise. It’s perfect for zooming down twisty country roads, with none of the steering-wheel play Land Rover builds into off-road oriented vehicles.

The suspension grips to the road in quick maneuvers and cushions the blows of rough pavement.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged, direct-injected engine is fast, smooth and fuel efficient.

Mated to a quick and smooth six-speed automatic transmission, it gives the Evoque plenty of acceleration around town and at highway speeds.

The Evoque’s EPA fuel economy rating of 18 mpg in the city, 28 on the highway and 22 combined match the

Q5 and beat the RDX, X3, SRX, EX and RX 350. It trails the smaller, lighter and lesspowerful Countryman.

The Evoque’s all-wheel drive system uses brakes and stability control to manage traction. It lacks the low range for serious off-roading that’s a common feature in other Land Rovers, and a necessity in truly rugged country.

The pleasure of driving the Evoque is greatly reduced by diabolically bad visibility.

The rear window is high and narrow. Even narrower side windows and a broad D-pillar create large blind spots.

On top of that, the sloping windshield and wide A-pillars limit the driver’s forward view for cornering.

The Evoque should have blind-spot and cross-traffic alerts for driving and backing out of parking spots. A spotter in a trail vehicle to warn the driver about oncoming traffic wouldn’t hurt, either.

That’s a far cry from the Land Rovers that built the brand’s reputation by providing a 360-degree view as they traversed the world’s most picturesque and challenging wilderness areas.

The Evoque is striking, fast, fun and efficient. If Land Rover can combine those new virtues with its traditional strengths, the brand’s future is assured.

tumor, and the operation a month later was a success.

But because of the seizure, my driver’s license was revoked for six months until they see if I will have a recurrence of the seizure.

From time to time a friend or relative will drive one of our two cars — a 2005 Dodge Caravan and a 2010 Volkswagen diesel Jetta — but the cars can sit for days or even weeks without being driven. Both do start up immediately when called to service.

I’m sure other people have cars they may not use for short or long periods of time. What precautions do you suggest? Should I start the cars and just let them idle once a week?

Congratulations on your medical recovery. It sounds like the usage of your two cars is working out OK; the batteries are holding up and they are getting some usage, which is better than none. My only concern is the fuel becoming stale.

Vehicles parked more than three weeks at a time can benefit from the use of a plug-in float charger or solar panel, if parked in adequate sun. A float charger is a smart trickle charger that provides just enough battery charge to offset parasitic losses while the vehicle sits. These run from $10 to about $20. Both take just a moment to hook up and plug in to a typical wall outlet. If the car isn’t near an electrical outlet but can be parked so the windshield sees six or more hours of direct sun, a 1.5-watt solar panel, about 6 inches by 15 inches in size, about $20, should adequately do the job. Larger 5-watt panels, about $50, work better but should be used with a charge controller —which runs about $10-$15 — to avoid overcharging the battery. Both sizes are widely available.

A:

Gasoline begins to go stale in a little over a month, and I’d recommend treating what’s in the two tanks with some StaBil fuel treatment. If either of the vehicles is unused for more than a month, it’s not a bad idea to run the engine perhaps 15 minutes and drive back and forth a bit in the driveway to exercise the brakes. Be sure to check tire pressure before anyone takes either vehicle out on the road.

Your columns have Q: proven useful, but we, and possibly others, are confused as to whether we should use miles, time or some combination to schedule maintenance, especially of various fluids. We have a 6-year-old Toyota Tacoma with 31,000 miles and a 5-year-old Toyota Avalon with 21,000 miles. We change oil and filter every 6 months, usually with less than 3,000 miles. If the other older folks are anything like our friends, there are many with this question.

I believe miles are more important than months, and it’s the kind of miles that really matter. If your trips are of less than a half-hour of mostly continuous run time, I’d stick with the every-six-month regimen. If most trips involve greater than a half-hour run time, which allows the engine to fully warm up and boil off contaminants from the motor oil, I’d feel comfortable stretching the time to 12 months between oil changes. Take a look at the inside of the oil filler cap.

If the bottom of the cap shows more than a little milky residue or moisture, shorten the oil change intervals.

Silicone-based brake fluid won’t damage paint, but others might

By Paul Brand Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

I see many brake fluids Q: on the market are now synthetic DOT 3 or DOT 4.

How does that differ from the conventional DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid? How does that differ from silicone brake fluid?

And my main question: Does synthetic brake fluid “eat the paint” if spilled on the car?

I think much of the confusion over brake fluids is whether “synthetic” is the same as “silicone” — and it’s not. All DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 fluids — the numbers refer to U.S. Department of Transportation specifications — are conventional glycol/ester-based hydraulic fluids, meaning they can and will damage paint if spilled on automotive bodywork. All are synthetic in the sense that they are blends, but the “synthetic” label on some indicates they are more resistant to absorbing moisture, a characteristic of all conventional brake fluids and the reason many carmakers recommend periodic flushing, bleeding and replacement.

Silicone brake fluid — DOT 5 — is silicone-based with a high boiling point suitable for motorsports, isn’t sensitive to absorbing moisture and doesn’t damage paint. But it is not compatible with conventional fluids.

A:

I had to replace the Q: blend door motor in the climate control system of

my 1997 Lincoln Town Car. Everything worked well, but when warm weather arrived in the spring I started having a problem. When the car sits in the sun and you start it up, you can hear the familiar clicking sound of the blend door motor trying to seek a position — similar to what I heard when the gears in the motor were bad. If I quickly raise the temperature setting on the control to a high value, the motor will stop doing this. As the car cools down, I can slowly lower this setting, but if it’s 80 or higher outside, I can never lower it to below 70 or so. I think it’s because the temperature sensor for the climate control is at fault. The air conditioning in the car works great otherwise.

Start by using the selfdiagnosing capabilities built into the climate control system. With the car’s interior stabilized near room temperature, enter the self-test mode by pressing the “Off” and “Floor” buttons simultaneously, then release and within two seconds push the “Auto” button to read fault codes.

Hitting the “Defrost” button cancels the diagnostic mode and deletes any codes. Codes 024/025, along with the clicking noise, indicate a bad blend door actuator. Codes 03 0/031 indicate an in-car temperature sensor problem, and codes 040/041/04 2/043 point toward the ambient temperature sensor. Codes 05 0/052 indicate a sunload sensor problem.

Keeping in mind the car’s

A:

age, I can’t help but wonder about using an aluminized dashboard sun shield in place while the car is parked in the sun. I know it would be cheap.

I own a 2004 PT Cruiser.

Q: Lately there has been a noise coming from the front driver’s side wheel. I replaced two tires and had all the tires rotated and balanced. As speed is increased, the “we-we-we” sound increases and can be heard to 30 miles an hour and above. I have had the vehicle to the garage twice and was assured that everything is OK. Yet the sound still persists.

If you and the dealer can eliminate the wheels and tires as the origin of the noise, I would focus on the left front disc brake/rotor assembly. As you are cruising along and hearing the “wewe-we” sound, maintain that speed while lightly pushing the brake pedal with your left foot. If this lessens or eliminates the noise, it’s coming from the brakes. Possible causes include rust and debris buildup, a slight warping of the rotor, worn brake pads or the audible brake wear indicator tab rubbing on the rotor.

The sealed front hub and bearing assembly or the drive axle and constant velocity joint are also suspects, but focus on the brakes first.

RESH-FACED

beauty Katharine McPhee came close to clinching the American Idol crown in 2006, emerging as the runner-up to Taylor Hicks. Now, after three albums and a handful of acting gigs, she’s hitting a career high note with the NBC series Smash (Mondays, 10 p.m.

ET), playing an actress angling for her big break in a Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe.

When success doesn’t happen overnight, the 27-year-old with I ENJOY the prodigious CHANGING pipes tells Shawna PEOPLE’S MINDS Malcom, “it’s much ABOUT WHAT more sweet.”

What was your worst pre-fame gig?

Cold-calling for a small refinance company. That only lasted a month because I’m not a pushy person. I stayed longest at [clothing store] Planet Funk. I got really good at folding jeans. One time, though, this guy bought a pair of jeans for $100 and later the manager said, “You rang this person up for $1.” I thought, “Kat, you’re an idiot!”

How do you like to spend your Sundays?

I enjoy going to church.

I also enjoy days where I just sleep in, go grocery shopping, and [have friends over]. I love entertaining. I get so much joy out of serving people, like, “I’ll take your coat.”

But you’re always more romantic in the beginning of a relationship. I mean, who really does that after being married awhile?

You once joked that you wanted 15 kids. Are you still eager to be a mom?

The reason I haven’t had kids yet is because I was so focused on my acting career, hoping I could get something to break. We’ll see how it goes. I’d try to plan [a pregnancy] because I’d want to be courteous of the show, although you can’t always control it. It is life.

He is St. Vince, clad in a green papal robe and matching green headdress adorned with the face of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi. In his right hand is a four-foot-long scepter topped with a Packers cheesehead. St. Vince has been a fixture at almost every Packers home game since 1997, when O’Neill and his wife, Mary Beth Johnson—an equally rabid Green Bay fan—devised his costume in honor of the team’s first Super Bowl appearance in nearly 30 years.

Ed Hirt, a professor in the department of psychological and brain sciences at Indiana University who has studied the psychology of sports fans. With so few games, “every one can be critical to the team’s potential for a playoff run, so fans have a lot of emotional investment in the outcome,” says Adam Earnheardt, associate professor of communication at Ohio’s Youngstown State University and an expert on fan behavior.

That investment can even cause chemical changes.

“Researchers from Georgia State University studied soccer players and extreme soccer fans and found that both groups exhibited the same increase in testosterone levels after a victory, and decrease in testosterone after a loss,” says Robert Cialdini, a professor of psychology and marketing at Arizona State University. “These fans are almost physically merged with the team in terms of their hormonal states.”

And the intense emotions of game day don’t fade after the clock ticks down. “When the team wins, it’s a high that can last all week,” says Joey Liner, 34, a devoted Baltimore Ravens fan who has held season tickets since 2001. “But on the occasions they don’t win, you can’t sleep; you keep replaying every moment in your mind.

Lorin Sandretzky, 46, known as “Big Lo,” is a Seattle Seahawks fan, but that’s a bit like calling Albert Einstein a math hobbyist. His body is a tattooed shrine to the team.

Up and down his legs are the immortalized faces of Seahawks luminaries like quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, fullback Leonard Weaver, and safety Jordan Babineaux—none of whom even still play for the team.

If you think about it, “the biggest fans are more devoted to their team than the players are,” says Daniel Cavicchi, an associate professor of American studies at the Rhode Island School of Design. “An NFL player loves football; if he gets traded, he switches his allegiance. A die-hard fan loves the team.”

In fact, that’s one of the biggest ways that superfans differ from casual fans, according to Cialdini. He says that most fans will trumpet their connection to a team when it’s victorious (“we won!”), but distance themselves after a defeat (“they lost”). But a superfan stays committed no matter what. “They’re grateful to the star player for bringing a victory, but if that player leaves the team, their allegiance doesn’t travel.”

Even if it meant sleeping in your car.

2

3

You’re watching the last half of a playoff game on TV when your wife announces she’s gone into labor. You: (a) Grab her overnight bag and hop in the car. (b) Wait until the next commercial break and set your DVR to record the rest of the game before heading out. (c) Call a neighbor to ask if he can drive her to the hospital. It’s not like the baby will be there in half an hour, right?

4

You are allowed to take one thing with you to a desert island.

You choose:

Then see where you rank on the scale.

10–15: Piker status.

Don’t quit your day job.

21–25: A devout fan.

Your Rain Man–like recall of your team’s stats is spooky, and if you don’t have season tickets, you scour StubHub months before the season starts.

26–30: A bona fide superfanatic. Your perfect Sunday involves donning a crazy wig and no shirt in subzero weather while bellowing for three hours straight.

THE ONLY WAY I’LL MISS A GAME IS A DEATH OR BIRTH IN THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY” Joe Ruback, 41, athletic director at the Biondi school in Yonkers, N.Y., is a Giants fan known for the collection of personalized license plates— like “G1ANTS,” “NFL NYG,” and “EL1MVP”—that he wears strung together in a long chain around his neck.

ON OUR COVER

BEN HELLER Denver Broncos

AGE: 37 LIVES IN: New York City OCCUPATION:

Paramedic DEVOTION LEVEL:

Heller, a Denver native, once pulled his ambulance up to a sports bar when on break so he could watch the Broncos game through the window. But his most obsessive moment? The day his brother got married while the Broncos were playing the Jets for the AFC Championship, in January 1999. Heller smuggled a tiny TV into the ceremony and listened to the broadcast through earphones. At one point, he says, “I burst out cheering. Everyone thought I was moved by the ceremony!”

DREAM: To score season tickets. “That would fulfill a lifetime desire. My cousin has Giants season tickets, and I’m so jealous. Not that I care about the Giants.” —H. S.

BEFORE*

like getting a tattoo signal that immutable level of dedication. Tony Russo, 41, a strategy director for a pharmaceutical company, has been a serious Dallas Cowboys fan since childhood, despite living his entire life in New Jersey. Twenty years ago, he got a large Cowboys helmet tattooed on his back, not only to differentiate himself in a community of Giants fans but also to signal to other Cowboys fans that he meant business. “A tattoo says to people, ‘I’m not a new fan, and I don’t just like the team when they’re winning,’ ” he says. “You can always wash off face paint, but you can’t wash off a tattoo.”

That same logic extends to other “peacocking” displays, like wearing a crazy costume, naming your child after a beloved coach, or devoting gobs of money—and space—to team keepsakes. Big Lo, who lives just outside Seattle, has a collection of Seahawks memorabilia that fills his entire home. (He hopes the items can be used someday to create a Seattle Sports Hall of Fame.) “I’m a passionate guy,” Big Lo explains.

“My motto is, if you’re gonna love something, just love it, you know?”

Would he and his brother, Buck, 9, be able to communicate with the kids?

Would it be frightening? This was the first stop on their family’s quest to volunteer in a different country every month for a year— and they had no idea what to expect. But within minutes of entering the building, the boys were wrestling and laughing with

The Incredible Journey

The Lewis family’s journey began with a single question. One day in the fall of 2010, Jackson asked his dad, “Why aren’t we doing more to make a w difference?” Taken aback, JJ. D. suggested they volunteer llocally. But as he pondered his son’s query that night, he h rrecalls, “I thought, ‘Let’s do 12 in 12—12 projects, 12 countries, 12 months.’ ” An acting coach and singgle dad who adopted both boys at birth, J. D. was a b strong believer in exposing his children to other culh ttures, but he knew that taking a yearlong trip would require special expertise. Among the people he consulted was Esther Benjamin of the Peace Corps, who suggested safe destinations and worthy organizations. Next, he had to figure out the trip’s cost—and continued on page 17

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION • Symptom relief does not rule out other serious stomach conditions.

• Serious allergic reactions may occur. Tell your doctor if you have a rash, face swelling, throat tightness, or difficulty breathing.

• People who are taking multiple daily doses of Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) medicines for a long period of time may have an increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine.

• Low magnesium can happen in some people who take a PPI medicine for at least 3 months. Tell your doctor right away if you experience any of these symptoms: seizures, dizziness, abnormal or fast heartbeat, jitteriness, jerking movements or shaking (tremors), muscle weakness, spasms of the hands and feet, cramps or muscle aches, or spasm of the voice box.

• In adults, the most common side effects with ACIPHEX include pain, sore throat, gas, infection, and constipation.

• Before taking ACIPHEX, tell your doctor if you are taking any of these medicines: atazanavir, digoxin, iron salts, ketoconazole, or warfarin.

To learn more, talk to your doctor and read the important patient information on the next page.

INDICATION In adults (≥18 years of age), one ACIPHEX (rabeprazole sodium) 20 mg tablet daily is used for the treatment of daytime and nighttime heartburn and other symptoms associated with acid reflux disease.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

REWARD: RELIEF Heartburn is the major culprit. But it doesn’t always act alone.

If you’ve been harassed by frequent, persistent heartburn 2 or more days a week, with or without these other notorious symptoms, it could be acid reflux disease. Talk to your doctor and ask about hauling in your symptoms with prescription ACIPHEX.

PATIENT INFORMATION ACIPHEX (a-se-feks) (rabeprazole sodium) Delayed-Release Tablets

Read the Patient Information that comes with ACIPHEX before you start taking it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.

What is ACIPHEX? ACIPHEX is a medicine called a proton pump inhibitor. ACIPHEX reduces the amount of acid in your stomach.

ACIPHEX is used in adults: • for up to 8 weeks to heal acid-related damage to the lining of the esophagus (called erosive esophagitis or EE) and to relieve symptoms, such as heartburn pain. If needed, your doctor may prescribe an additional 8 weeks of ACIPHEX. • to maintain the healing of the esophagus and relief of symptoms related to EE. ACIPHEX has not been studied for treatment lasting longer than 12 months (1 year).

• for 4 weeks for the treatment of daytime and nighttime heartburn and other symptoms that happen with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). If needed your doctor may prescribe an additional 4 weeks of ACIPHEX. GERD happens when acid in your stomach backs up into the tube (esophagus) that connects your mouth to your stomach. This may cause a burning feeling in your chest or throat, sour taste, or burping.

• for up to 4 weeks for the healing and relief of duodenal ulcers. The duodenal area is the area where food passes when it leaves the stomach.

• with certain antibiotic medicines for the treatment of an infection caused by bacteria called H. pylori. Sometimes H. pylori bacteria can cause duodenal ulcers. The infection needs to be treated to prevent the ulcers from coming back.

• for the long-term treatment of conditions where your stomach makes too much acid. This includes a rare condition called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

ACIPHEX is used in adolescents 12 years of age and above: • for up to 8 weeks for the treatment of GERD. It is not known if ACIPHEX is safe and effective in children under the age of 12.

ACIPHEX may help your acid-related symptoms, but you could still have serious stomach problems. Talk with your doctor.

Who should not take ACIPHEX? Do not take ACIPHEX if you: • are allergic to any of the ingredients in ACIPHEX. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in ACIPHEX. • are allergic to any other Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) medicine.

What should I tell my doctor before taking ACIPHEX? Before you take ACIPHEX tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you: • have been told that you have low magnesium levels in your blood.

• have any liver problems.

• have any allergies.

• are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It is not known if ACIPHEX can harm your unborn baby.

• are breastfeeding. It is not known if ACIPHEX passes into your breast milk or if it can harm your baby. You should choose to breastfeed or take ACIPHEX, but not both. Talk to your doctor about other ways to feed your baby while taking ACIPHEX. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. ACIPHEX and certain medicines can affect each other. This can cause serious side effects. Know the medicines that you take. Keep a list of them with you and show it to your doctor when you get a new medicine. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are taking: • atazanavir (Reyataz) • cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral) • digoxin (Lanoxin) • ketoconazole (Nizoral) • warfarin (Coumadin) • theophylline (THEO-24 Thelair) • diazepam (Valium) • phenytoin (Dilantin) • antibiotics Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if your medicine is listed above.

How should I take ACIPHEX? • Take ACIPHEX exactly as prescribed. Your doctor will prescribe the dose that is right for you and your medical condition. Do not change your dose or stop taking ACIPHEX unless you talk to your doctor. Take ACIPHEX for as long as it is prescribed even if you feel better.

• ACIPHEX is usually taken once a day. Your doctor will tell you the time of day to take ACIPHEX, based on your medical condition.

• ACIPHEX can be taken with or without food. Your healthcare provider will tell you whether to take this medicine with or without food based on your medical condition.

• Swallow each ACIPHEX tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or split ACIPHEX tablets because this will damage the tablet and the medicine will not work. Tell your doctor if you cannot swallow tablets whole. You may need a different medicine.

• If you miss a dose of ACIPHEX, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your normal schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.

• If you take too much ACIPHEX, call your doctor or Poison Control Center right away, or go to the emergency department.

• Your doctor may prescribe antibiotic medicines with ACIPHEX to help treat a stomach infection and heal stomach-area (duodenal) ulcers that are caused by bacteria called H. pylori. Make sure you read the patient information that comes with an antibiotic before you start taking it.

What are the possible side effects of ACIPHEX? ACIPHEX, like other proton pump inhibitors, may cause serious allergic reactions. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in ACIPHEX. • Serious allergic reactions. Tell your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms with ACIPHEX. • rash • face swelling • throat tightness • difficulty breathing Your doctor may stop ACIPHEX if these symptoms happen.

• Low magnesium levels in your body. This problem can be serious. Low magnesium can happen in some people who take a proton pump inhibitor medicine for at least 3 months. If low magnesium levels happen, it is usually after a year of treatment. You may or may not have symptoms of low magnesium.

Tell your doctor right away if you have any of these symptoms: o seizures o dizziness o abnormal or fast heart beat o jitteriness o jerking movements or shaking (tremors) o muscle weakness o spasms of the hands and feet o cramps or muscle aches o spasm of the voice box Your doctor may check the level of magnesium in your body before you start taking ACIPHEX, during treatment, or if you will be taking ACIPHEX for a long period of time.

The most common side effects with ACIPHEX may include: • headache • pain • sore throat • gas • infection • constipation People who are taking multiple daily doses of Proton Pump Inhibitor medicines for a long period of time may have an increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine.

Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the side effects of ACIPHEX. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

How should I store ACIPHEX? • Store ACIPHEX in a dry place at room temperature, 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C).

Keep ACIPHEX and all medicines out of the reach of children.

General Information about ACIPHEX Medicines are sometimes prescribed for conditions other than those described in patient information leaflets. Do not use ACIPHEX for any condition for which it was not prescribed by your doctor. Do not give ACIPHEX to other people, even if they have the same symptoms as you. It may harm them.

This leaflet summarizes the most important information about ACIPHEX. If you would like more information, talk to your doctor. You can also ask your doctor or pharmacist for information about ACIPHEX that is written for healthcare professionals.

Friends organized fundraisers, and through the family’s website, TwelveinTwelve.org, strangers contributed as well. “People who’d been out of work for two years were sending us $10,” J. D. marvels.

Kids Helping Kids

Since leaving Russia, the Lewis family has worked with children with Down syndrome in Thailand, taught English to Tibetan refugees in India, spent Thanksgiving in Rwanda, and worked with kids in Kenya who have HIV. The family volunteers three weeks a month (the other week is for travel), and four hours a day are devoted to homeschooling. Both boys keep journals, and Jackson and J. D. also blog. They all sample the local food, though in China they passed on the snake-on-a-stick.

(Buck did say yes to a donkey burger—it

tasted, he reports, like a “funky hamburger.”)

Lifetime Memories

The boys can say “thank you” in Russian, Chinese, Thai, Hindi, Rwandan, and Swahili,

and Jackson has grown four inches since they left. Each has his favorite moments. For Jackson, it was playing with toddlers at the New Hope Foundation orphanage outside Beijing. Buck loved the

Buddhist monastery in India, where he joined in the ceremonies and received a Tibetan Buddhist name, Losang Buck. One of J. D.’s favorite memories is of teaching English in Tanzania, where all his students were Muslim. “We talked about different religious beliefs, and the mutual respect was powerful.” This month, the Lewises are accompanying the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Australia, bringing medical care and supplies to indigenous people in the outback. After that, they’ll head to Antarctica, Argentina, Peru, and Haiti.

The family plans to return to the U.S. in July for their last project: using photography and film to document needs closer to home, in Durant, Miss., where J. D. has a sister.

While excited to catch up with family and friends, they will be sad to see their journey end. “We really do feel like we are making a difference,” J. D. says. “In the past, we’ve gone on vacations, and it’s nice.

We come back with photos and memories that fade over time.

But with this trip, my kids will never forget what they’ve seen and done.”

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant Do dogs and cats have different blood types, like humans?

—Iraj Erfanian, Woodbridge, Va.

Yes, though not the same ones. Blood types are genetic markers on red blood cells.

The markers are both unique to every species (dogs, cats, horses, sheep, etc.) and antigenic, which means that different immune systems in the same species will react against the foreign material.

Dogs rarely have an immediate bad reaction—though they may react later—to their first nonmatching transfusion, but cats nearly always do. On the other hand, few dogs can be universal donors, but most cats have the same blood type, so matching donors are easier to find. Not that it’s easy to get a cat to donate blood!

ON OUR COVER

RALPH MARRERO Green Bay Packers

AGE: 57 LIVES IN: Dover, N.J. OCCUPATION: Phone

company technician DEVOTION LEVEL: The

first game Marrero ever watched as a kid was a Packers game, and he was hooked.

Today, his home office is stuffed with hundreds of team tchotchkes, including Packers snow globes, a helmet phone, a Christmas village, a Pez dispenser, and, of course, a cheesehead.

He wears something from his Packers collection (which includes silk underwear, sunglasses, and patent-leather sneakers) every day.

“I could have bought a small house for what I spent on this stuff,” he says. Pointedly moved to storage: anything related to Brett Favre.

DREAM: “To go to the Super Bowl and watch the Packers win.

Maybe one day I’ll have the chance.” —H. S.

“one year became two became 10 years.”

Now known simply as “License Plate Guy,” he hasn’t missed a Giants game— home or away—in nearly a decade.

“The most dedicated fans hate to miss a game and go out of their way to travel to away games,” says Christian End, an associate professor of psychology at Xavier University in Cincinnati.

“Part of it is about demonstrating their loyalty, but they’re also more superstitious. Compared to passing fans, they’re more likely to believe that watching (or not watching) a game could have an impact on the outcome.”

This sometimes means placing the team above other social commitments.

“I’ve missed countless baby showers and wedding showers because they’ve conflicted with Eagles games,” says Kelli Gail, 41, a communications consultant and lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan.

When a good friend got married during the playoffs a few years ago, she spent the majority of the wedding reception in the coat closet watching the game on a handheld TV. “I’ve always said that the only way I’ll miss a game is a death or a birth in the immediate family,” says Liner, a vice president of sales for an online marketing firm. “This season my wife was in the hospital with multiple infections after surgery, and the Ravens were playing. I was so antsy, she told me to go to the game. I like to say, ‘Family first, then my business, and then the Ravens,’ but my wife jokes it’s the other way around.”

THE FRIENDSHIPS WITH OTHER FANS ARE THE BEST PART OF ALL OF THIS” There is something about a team sport that brings out the collective; it encourages us to mentally place ourselves on

the field, says Cialdini. There’s a sense of belonging to a larger community, whether it’s the team itself, the city that the team represents, or fellow fans.

“I work odd jobs to pay for the tickets and the travel,” says Ruback. “After this long, moneywise, I’m cutting it pretty tight.” Ruback admits he probably can’t do this forever, but hates to think about losing the extended family of Giants fans he’s met. “Those friendships are the best part of all of this,” he says.

For some, fandom can also be a way to connect with family. Dustin Holmes, a Kid Rock look-alike who goes by the name “KidStallyn,” is a former air force captain who attends every Arizona Cardinals game with his 12-year-old twin sons and father.

Earlier this season, for the first time, his wife joined in. “She always wondered why I left at 6:45 a.m. for a game that started at 2 p.m.,” says Holmes, 40.

She enjoyed the experience so much, she wants to go to more games.

In the case of Packers fan O’Neill, he and his wife are a bona fide superfan power couple. After Johnson, 59, helped him design his St. Vince costume, she decided to create her own game-day persona. Today she appears at games dressed as “Cheese Louise.”

In Green Bay, where game-day temperatures can drop into the single digits, Johnson decks herself out in green John Lennon hologram glasses, a Packers beret, and a foam cheese bikini. “It’s very, very cold,” she says.

“We’ve been married 27 years, and we’ve been dressing up for games for 15 of those years,” O’Neill says. “We’re hoping to do it for 15 more.”

And that’s really what superfandom is all about. The sacrifices fans make— paying an arm and a leg for tickets, planning their schedules around the games—they reap in their connection to the team and to fellow fans.

These people may be crazy, but if they’re gonna be crazy, they’re gonna be crazy together. As Big Lo says, if you’re gonna love something, love it.

ON OUR COVER

JOHN AMRAEN Chicago Bears

AGE: 49 LIVES IN: Fairfax, Va. OCCUPATION:

Corporate director DEVOTION LEVEL:

Amraen, who was born and raised in Chicago, spent 12 years on the waiting list before scoring Bears season tickets in 1998—but then his career took him to New Jersey and later to Fairfax. Rather than give up his hardwon prize, he flies back to Chicago for home games. He has made the round-trip nearly 50 times in 10 years, often in under a day.

DREAM: To visit every NFL venue to see his beloved Bears play.

“Sure, I’d like to see them play in the Super Bowl, [but] this is something special— to watch them in every stadium. Well, maybe not Lambeau [Field, Green Bay’s stadium].

I’m not sure I want to go there.” —H. S.
