Congress set to return as Boehner faces sharp challenges

Beyond the 2.4-mile swim, 112mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run, the numbers involved in an Ironman triathlon are staggering.

If backers of a plan to bring the West Coast’s first-ever Ironman to Central Oregon are successful, 2,500 competitors will wade into Wickiup Reservoir to start the race in September 2013. Runners will cross the finish line in Sunriver, going past 7,500 spectators, all supported by 100 medical per-

sonnel, up to 200 police officers and 2,500 volunteers.

The race would fill thousands of hotel rooms and rental houses, supporters say, and could inject up to $10 million annually into the Central Oregon economy.

There’s one more key number: 16, the number of days boosters have to sort out the details and submit their proposal to the World Triathlon Corp., the organization which will decide whether the Ironman comes to Bend.

MOUNT JEFFERSON REINTRODUCTION

Area mountain goats climb back to the top

By Jennifer Steinhauer New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — For Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans, returning to the Capitol this week could have the awkward feeling of a couple waking up after Boehner a night of fighting.

Boehner began 2011 with the heady wave of victory and ended the year in disarray when the Senate forced him and his members to accept a short-term extension of the payroll tax cut. Now, he begins the second session of the 112th Congress on defense, his leadership under scrutiny and his party facing an election-year attack from the White House.

His challenge is not only to rein in his restive conference but also to preserve his party’s majority even as he fends off President Barack Obama, who is making Congress his central opponent in his re-election bid.

And rank-and-file Republicans are itching for accomplishments, like reducing regulations and changing the tax code, to sell in their districts. (See Page B1 to see what issues Congress might take up this week.)

“He needs to be clear in what our strategy is,” said Rep. Marlin Stutzman, a freshman Republican from Indiana. “I got chewed out by folks who said, ‘Why did you fold?’ … Leadership has to make decisions sometimes, but we could at least be on the same page.”

The tensions among Republican lawmakers reflect the central problem that Boehner faced through several rounds of negotiations over federal spending last year. In his attempts to strike the kinds of bipartisan deals that voters say they crave, the speaker often gets ahead of his conservative membership and is then forced to retreat when he finds support lacking.

A Rocky Mountain goat explores its new territory on a ridge east of Mount Jefferson on the Warm Springs Reservation in July 2010. Forty-five goats were released that summer, and though three soon died, there are now reports of offspring.

• Biologists catch up with the animals brought back after a 150-year absence

ocky Mountain goats, reintroduced about 1½ years ago, are taking hold on Mount Jefferson.

But hikers, hunters and mountain climbers likely won’t be encountering the high-climbing animal often.

“It’s big country, and there are not many goats, so they are hard to find,” said Corey Heath, district wildlife biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in Prineville.

There are still about 45 of the animals roaming the high country around Oregon’s second-tallest mountain, the 10,495-foot volcano 50 miles northwest of Bend, he said. The goats are making a return to the mountain, half of which is on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, after about a 150-year absence.

The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs teamed up with ODFW for the July 2010 release of 45 goats, helping set the animals free on a remote portion of the 640,000-acre reservation.

Historically an animal found on Mount Jefferson, the Rocky Mountain goat is culturally significant to the tribes as a source for both spiritu-

ality and food, said Clay Penhollow, spokesman for the tribes.

“It is important to have them back here,” he said.

Wiped out by the 1850s As the number of settlers grew in Central Oregon in the 1800s, the number of Rocky Mountain goats dropped, Heath said. By the 1850s the species was all but gone, in part because of overhunting.

The animals were valuable not only for their meat, but also their hides. He said hunters would ship the hides back east where they drew a high price.

“Basically people were hunting these animals for money,” he said.

Hunters tracked the goats into their remote home ranges, wiping them from other parts of Oregon as well.

A stray mountain goat from the Elkhorn Mountains of Eastern Oregon is still in Newberry Crater, scientists say, hunkering down for his second winter on the volcano south of Bend.

“He basically stayed there all summer and appears to want to stay there this winter,” said Steven George, a biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in Bend.

The goat, which will be about 4 years old this spring, drew hundreds of visitors to Dry River Canyon east of Bend in spring and summer 2010. Since March of that year he’s worn a radio collar to help scientists track him.

During that summer he explored a couple of buttes around Central Oregon and then climbed his way into Newberry Crater.

BEND-LA PINE SCHOOLS

Policy on dropping classes is reviewed • In one case, complaints after a Summit high schooler drops math late, rather than failing

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Last year, Bend-La Pine Schools officials allowed a high school student to drop a math class with just two weeks left in a nine-week term. The student was on track to receive an F, according to district documents, and her teacher was not informed immediately of the decision.

The teacher filed a grievance in response to the decision, which was made according to a long-standing district practice that soon will be reconsidered. Typically, under the current policy, students who drop classes after the first two weeks of a term receive failing grades. In some cases, however, Bend-La Pine principals may allow students to drop classes well into the term without grade penalties.

Though district officials say the policy has been used rarely, they do not track its usage.

Last year’s decision involved a Summit High School student, whose drop request initially was refused by Principal Lynn Baker. The student’s parents appealed the case to the district, however, and Baker and Chief Academic Officer of Secondary Education Vicki Van Buren agreed to let her drop the class without getting an F. Van Buren said that was the only time parents have appealed to her during nearly a decade with the district.

The incident raises questions about how much control over student grades principals should have and, ultimately, what the point of the district’s punitive drop policy is.

Night of chaos after cruise ship runs aground Bulletin wire reports The first course had just been served in the Costa Concordia’s dining room when the wine glasses, forks and plates of cuttlefish and mushrooms smashed to the ground. Then the hallways turned upside down, and passengers crawled on bruised knees through the dark. Others jumped into the cold Mediterranean Sea. The terrifying, chaotic escape from the luxury liner was straight out of a scene from “Titanic” for many of the 4,000-plus passengers and crew on the cruise ship, which ran aground off the Italian coast late Friday and flipped on its side with a 160-foot gash in its hull.

At least three people died and dozens more were missing, officials said Saturday. Scuba divers will begin combing the waters today for more passengers. The captain has been arrested and accused of abandoning the ship.

Deep-sea vents near Antarctica are flourishing with a ‘riot of life’

It’s Sunday, Jan. 15, the 15th day of 2012. There are 351 days left in the year.

By Mark Schrope Special to The Washington Post

Oceanographers exploring some of the most remote deepsea hot springs ever found have discovered what they say is a “riot of life” in a distinct biological zone that no one knew existed. They said the exploration, which occurred more than a mile down in the ocean just north of Antarctica, uncovered the most strikingly unique assemblage of life-forms found in decades, including thousands upon thousands of a species of crab never seen before, as well as new barnacle, anemone, snail and starfish species.

“It’s remarkable that we can be in the 21st century and still not know fundamental things about what lives on our planet,” said Cindy Van Dover, director of Duke University’s marine laboratory, who has been studying life at deep-sea vents for 30 years but was not involved in the discoveries.

IN HISTORY

In 2010, a remotely operated vehicle was maneuvered into the icy sea near Antarctica to film creatures, including kiwa crabs, above, and anemones, left, in the depths.

Unexpected discovery Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are springs that can spew out water at temperatures of more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Loaded with chemicals and minerals from the rocks below, the hot water mixes with the much colder seawater in a chemical frenzy that often creates billowing black plumes.

Geologists discovered the first hydrothermal vents in the Pacific in 1977, near the Galapagos Islands. So unprepared were they to find life in such a hostile place that their team included no biologists.

There were huge worms living in tubes dominating the vents, alongside plots of massive clams. The geologists pickled samples of the strange animals as best they could, in some cases using Russian vodka they had on hand.

Later work revealed that the tube worms and other vent animals got their food from bacteria that feed on the chemicals in a vent’s outflow. It was the first ecological system found to use chemicals, rather than sunlight, as a foundation.

The Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica, has only recently been a focus of deepsea exploration. It’s particularly difficult to reach, and its waters are treacherous, with

storm swells regularly hitting 50 feet. Chris German, a geochemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, was the first to discover deep-sea vents in that area in 1999, after detecting the telltale water plumes, but he was unable to explore them for more than a decade.

An ‘amazing sight’ In 2010, a group that included German used a remotely operated vehicle to maneuver about 8,000 feet down into the icy sea and send high-definition video from the forbidding zone to a British research vessel on the surface. The team’s very first view was the sort that has always driven explorers. Shouts from the scientists watching the monitors quickly drew everyone on board to gaze upon a landscape blanketed by what they quickly realized was a

new species of kiwa crab, also known as the yeti because of its hairy body.

“They almost looked like a pile of skulls sitting on the seabed,” said team leader Alex Rogers, a deep-sea biologist at Oxford University. “It was an amazing, amazing sight.”

The researchers also saw thickets of pencil-length barnacles, another new species, growing more densely than similar species the team had seen at other vents. In addition, a new snail species, with a bright-red foot, was crammed a hundred to a square foot.

Based on genetic analyses, the team believes the vent life they discovered in 2010 is so distinct that it constitutes a cluster of species not found anywhere else.

The team published its findings in the journal PLoS Biology.

Hybrid sharks discovered off Australian coast Scientists have identified the first-ever hybrid shark off the coast of Australia, a discovery that suggests some shark species may respond to changing ocean conditions by interbreeding.

A team of 10 Australian researchers identified multiple generations of sharks that arose from mating between the common blacktip shark and the Australian blacktip, which is smaller and lives in warmer waters than its global counterpart.

“To find a wild hybrid animal is unusual,” the scientists wrote in the journal Conservation Genetics.

“To find 57 hybrids along (1,240 miles) of coastline is unprecedented.” They are investigating factors including the species’ close relationship, fishing pressure and climate change.

Australian blacktips confine themselves to tropical waters, while the hybrid sharks swam more than 1,000 miles south to cooler areas around Sydney. Researchers say this may suggest the hybrid species has an evolutionary advantage as the climate changes.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

Illinois man wins $1 million lottery jackpot — again

By Dawn Rhodes Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — In a game where players rarely win once, the idea of lightning striking twice seems improbable. But Scott Anetsberger, of Lombard, Ill., received a check last week for hitting the $1 million jackpot in the Merry Millionaire scratch-off game, repeating a feat he pulled off nine years ago.

What are the odds?

Well, playing the lottery is an independent event, meaning the probability of success is the same each time you participate, according to Martin Buntinas, professor of math and statistics at Loyola University Chicago.

For example, the odds of rolling a certain number on a die are always 1 in 6.

The probability of winning one of the three $1 million Merry Millionaire prizes isn’t posted on the Illinois Lottery website, but the odds of winning anything in the game are about 1 in 3. To figure the odds of repeating a particular result, Buntinas said, you square the probability.

In this case, the odds of playing twice and winning something twice are about 1 in 9.

But remember, those aren’t all jackpots. “Playing the lottery is a worse investment than playing in a casino,” Buntinas said.

Social conservatives split on 2 favorites as Romney waits

By Charles Babington and Thomas Beaumont The Associated Press

CHARLESTON, S.C. — With a week left to halt Mitt Romney from sweeping to a third straight victory, his GOP rivals are struggling in South Carolina for a theme, momentum and most crucially, one strong challenger to consolidate conservatives’ misgivings about the front-runner.

The dynamics that lifted Romney to wins in Iowa and New Hampshire seem to be working for him here, even though South Carolina is often described as too evangelical and culturally southern for his background.

In some ways, the former Massachusetts governor is lucky, benefitting from a fractured opposition that has divided the anti-Romney vote for months. In other ways he is benefiting from shrewd and well-organized supporters.

He uses TV ads to shore up his weaknesses and to batter the rivals he sees as most threatening.

A group of social conservative leaders meeting in Texas voted Saturday to recommend former Sen. Rick Santorum as the Romney alternative. But a portion of them preferred former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who denied Santorum a two-thirds majority on their first head-to-head ballot, said Tony Perkins, president of the

Mitt Romney speaks at a campaign stop, flanked by John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Romney’s Republican rivals have failed to mount much opposition in the Palmetto state.

Family Research Council.

Perkins said the group’s actions did not constitute an endorsement, adding that some participants will remain Gingrich supporters. He declined to say how he voted.

“Santorum was the preferred candidate by a significant majority,” former presidential candidate Gary Bauer said. “They were all looking for the best Reagan conservative,” he said.

“It came down to things like, who do you most trust.”

In Iowa, the target was Gingrich, who plummeted under the barrage. In South Carolina, it’s Santorum, a longtime champion of home-schooling,

anti-abortion efforts and other social conservative causes.

Santorum nearly won the Iowa caucus, and some consider him the best bet for unifying the anti-Romney vote.

But a private group that supports Romney is pounding Santorum in South Carolina with TV ads and mailings. So is Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian-leaning candidate who helped attack Gingrich in Iowa.

Paul’s ads are especially harsh. They vilify Santorum for pushing pork-barrel projects as a Pennsylvania senator, and they portray him as an insincere conservative.

The state is known for campaign surprises, and there’s still time for twists and turns.

Undercurrents of anti-Romney sentiment, perhaps fueled by his Mormonism, could be stronger than they seem.

But on the surface, at least, Romney is well-positioned with a week to go. If he wins South Carolina, only a seismic change in the campaign will keep him from becoming the nominee.

The next primary, on Jan. 31, is in Florida, a sprawling and expensive state where Romney’s superior money and organization could essentially put the matter to rest, kicking off the general election against President Barack Obama.

There is little evidence that a barrage of ads depicting Romney as a heartless corporate raider is having much effect. He is airing a counter-ad defending his record at Bain Capital, which sometimes created jobs, and sometimes reduced them, when it restructured dozens of companies in the 1980s and ’90s.

The anti-Romney ad, aired by a group supporting Gingrich, has generated much comment in political and media circles. Many conservative leaders have condemned it, and Gingrich later back-pedaled, questioning the accuracy of the anti-Romney documentary film behind it.

Taiwan president re-elected, a result likely to please China

By Andrew Jacobs New York Times News Service

TAIPEI, Taiwan — President Ma Ying-jeou was reelected by a comfortable margin Saturday, fending off a challenge from his main rival, Tsai Ing-wen, who criticized his handling of the economy but also sought to exploit fears among voters that Ma’s conciliatory approach toward China was eroding the island’s sovereignty.

Ma’s victory was welcomed by Taiwanese business leaders, who feared his defeat could irritate China and set back the detente that has served them well during the past three and a half years. China, which regards Taiwan as a renegade territory, had warned that a win by Tsai, whose party has traditionally backed formal independence, could threaten the “peaceful development of cross-strait ties.”

Pursuing closer ties with China — and the money that flowed to manufacturers, hotel owners and farmers with new trade and transportation deals — helped solidify Ma’s support despite withering attacks from Tsai. More than 200,000 of Taiwan’s citizens who live and work across the Taiwan Strait in China flew home to vote, most of them taking the direct flights that Ma helped establish. Not surprisingly, many returnees were Ma

The comments by the administration’s chief technology officials, posted on a White House blog Saturday, came as growing opposition to the legislation had already led sponsors of the bills to reconsider a measure that would force Internet service providers to block access to websites that offer or link to copyrighted material.

Crew must wait 12 hours to ensure that all the disturbed ice has refrozen. At that point, they will have to build some sort of road or pathway over the ice for the hose to rest on.

There has been a lot of anxious waiting since the ship left Russia in mid-December. It picked up diesel fuel in South Korea before traveling to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, where it took on unleaded gasoline.

Late Thursday, the vessels stopped offshore and began planning the transfer.

A fall storm prevented Nome from getting a fuel delivery by barge in November. Without the tanker delivery, supplies of diesel fuel, gasoline and home heating fuel Nome are expected to run out in March and April.

Evans said he hopes the crew will begin unloading the fuel today. He cautioned that delivering the fuel is only half the mission.

“The ships need to transition back through 300 miles of ice,” he said. “I say we’re not done until the ships are safely back at their home ports (in Seattle and Russia).”

The Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A Russian tanker carrying much-needed fuel to Nome moored less than a half-mile from the town’s iced-in harbor Saturday evening, starting final preparations for delivering the diesel fuel and gasoline, the Coast Guard said.

The crew of the 370-foot tanker Renda is working to ensure the safe transfer of the 1.3million gallons of fuel through a hose laid on top of the ice to the harbor, Coast Guard spokesman Kip Wadlow said.

The U.S Coast Guard Cutter Healy, which cleared a path through hundreds of miles of Bering Sea ice for the tanker, is moored nearby.

“We were able to successfully navigate that last bit of ice,” Wadlow said in a phone interview from Nome. “We were able to get it pretty much right on the money, in the position that the industry representatives wanted to start the fuel transfer process.”

Wadlow said he doesn’t know how long it will be before fuel is flowing through the hose.

There were conflicting reports, though, about the cause of the blast. Some officials said it was a roadside bomb while others said a suicide bomber had attacked the crowd.

The pilgrims were traveling to a mosque in the city of Zubayr, just west of Basra, for the last day of Arbaeen, the solemn holiday at the end of the 40-day mourning period for the death of Imam Hussein ibn Ali, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.

lus Cornelius Smit, 57, was found behind the Yorba Linda library on Dec. 30.

As of Saturday night, the police had not confirmed the identity of the fourth victim, but residents said he was John Berry, a Vietnam War veteran who had stayed in the area for years, sometimes sleeping on a bench beside a river bed or, on rainy nights, in the shopping center where he was killed.

A memorial took shape at the spot where he was attacked. The posters of remembrances did not cover all of the blood on the concrete wall.

Dozens of residents stopped to place flowers or to recall a man they said never asked for anything. A vigil was planned for Saturday night.

“John was a fixture here, a neighbor,” said Maria Veruasa, 52, who lives in Yorba Linda.

Explosion kills dozens in Iraq

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The man thought to have killed four homeless men in Orange County over the past month is in custody, law enforcement officials said.

The suspect, Itzcoatl Ocampo, 23, of Yorba Linda, Calif., was arrested Friday night after a homeless man was fatally stabbed behind a Carl’s Jr. restaurant in Anaheim.

“We are extremely confident that we have the man who is responsible for the murder of all four homeless men in Orange County,” Chief John Welter of the Anaheim police said.

Officials would not say how Ocampo had been linked to all four murders. But Friday’s slaying fit the pattern they had established: a lone, middleaged homeless man stabbed to death in the same area of inland Orange County.

Investigators, which included local agencies as well as the FBI, were left with few leads besides a few grainy security videos, including one that showed a man walking toward the first victim.

Dozens of people, however, witnessed Friday night’s attack at a busy shopping center.

A police spokesman said they began receiving calls around 8:17 p.m., reporting an assault in progress.

When the police arrived, the victim was dead. The suspect had fled on foot, chased by two civilians, and officers caught him about a quartermile away.

The first of the four victims, James McGillivray, 53, was found Dec. 20 outside a shopping center in Placentia. The second, Lloyd Middaugh, 42, was found eight days later on the Santa Ana River Trail in Anaheim, and the third, Pau-

CAIRO — Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel Prize winning U.N. diplomat who helped galvanize the demands for democracy here, said Saturday that he was dropping his presidential bid in protest over the military’s continued hold on power nearly a year after the ouster of the strongman Hosni Mubarak.

“The former regime did not fall,” ElBaradei said in a statement, arguing that the military council that took power in the name of the revolution had instead proved to be an extension of the Mubarak government. “My conscience does not permit me to run for the presidency or any other official position unless it is within a real democratic system.”

On the eve of the anniversary of the Jan. 25 uprising that forced Mubarak from power, ElBaradei’s announcement may help rally support for the protests planned for that day to demand the exit of the ruling military council.

Awarded the Nobel peace prize for his work as chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, ElBaradei is a widely admired and influential figure here, especially among liberals, and he was perhaps the only one to predict the Egyptian revolution in the weeks before its outbreak. His exit from the presidential race could also open the way for an endorsement that would strengthen the hand of another contender.

supporters spurred by the polls that had showed him in a close race.

“What this election showed is that business interests in Taiwan now trump ideological ones,” said Edward I-hsin Chen, a former legislator and a professor at Tamkang University.

Ma, 61, of the Chinese Nationalist Party, or Kuomintang, won with 51.6 of the vote. Tsai, of the Democratic Progressive Party, drew 45.6 percent. A third candidate, James Soong of the People First Party, who had been expected to siphon off as much a tenth of the electorate from Ma, received 2.8 percent, according to the Central Election Commission.

Turnout was more than 74 percent.

“The people gave their approval of our efforts to put aside disagreements and focus on peace on both sides of the straits, turning crisis into economic opportunity,” Ma told his supporters.

The Chinese agency that handles Taiwan affairs lauded Ma’s victory, according to China’s state-run Xinhua news service, saying it showed that improved cross-strait ties were the “correct path and have the support of the Taiwanese compatriots.”

The Obama administration, meanwhile, issued a statement of congratulations to Ma, saying, “Cross-strait peace, stability and improved relations, in an environment free from intimidation, are of profound importance to the United States.”

Fear of civil war mounts in Syria

By Anthony Shadid

“We will defeat this conspiracy without any doubt,” President Bashar Assad said in a speech on Tuesday, making a rare public appearance.

New York Times News Service

BEIRUT — The failure of an Arab League mission to stanch violence in Syria, an international community with little leverage and a government that is as defiant as its opposition is in disarray have thrust Syria into what increasingly looks like a protracted, chaotic and perhaps unnegotiable conflict.

The opposition itself speaks less of prospects for the fall of President Bashar Assad and more about a civil war that some argue has already begun, with the government losing control over some regions and its authority ebbing in the suburbs of the capital and parts of major cities like Homs and Hama. Even the capital, Damascus, which had remained calm for months, has been carved up with checkpoints and its residents have been frightened by sounds of gunfire.

The deepening stalemate suggests that events may be slipping out of control. In a town about a half-hour’s drive from Damascus, the police station was recently burned down and, in retaliation, electricity and water were cut off, diplomats say. For a time, residents drew water in buckets from a well. Some people are too afraid to drive major highways at night.

In Homs — a city that a Lebanese politician called “the Stalingrad of the Syrian revolution” — reports have grown of sectarian cleansing of oncemixed neighborhoods, where some roads have become borders too dangerous for taxis to cross.

In a suggestion that seemed to underline the sense of desperation, the emir of Qatar said in an interview with CBS, an excerpt of which was released Saturday, that Arab troops should intervene in Syria to “stop the killing.”

“There’s absolutely no sign of light,” said a Western diplomat in Damascus, a city once so calm it was called Syria’s Green Zone. “If anything, it’s darker than ever. And I don’t know where it’s going to end.

I can’t tell you. I don’t think anyone can.”

The forbidding tableau painted by diplomats, residents, opposition figures and even some government supporters suggests a far more complicated portrait than that offered by Assad, who delivered a 15,000-word speech on Tuesday, declaring, “We will defeat this conspiracy without any doubt.” The next day, he appeared in public for the first time since the uprising began in a Syrian backwater last March.

More telling, perhaps, was the arrival of a Russian ship last week, said to be carrying ammunition and seeming to signal the determination of the government to fight to the end.

“Day by day, Syrians are closer to fighting each other,” said a 30-year-old activist in Arabeen, near the capital, who gave his name as Abdel-Rahman and joined a protest of about 1,000 people there on Friday. “Bashar has divided Syrians into two groups — one with him, one against him — and the coming days will bring more blood into the streets.”

In the other Arab revolts, diplomacy and, in Libya’s case,

armed intervention proved crucial in the unfolding of events. Even Bahrain had an international commission whose report on the uprising there was viewed by the United States and some parties in that gulf state as a basis for reform. Syria has emerged as the country where the stalemate inside is mirrored by deadlock abroad.

Syria still counts on the support of Russia and China in the U.N. Security Council. In the Arab world, Syria has allies in Iraq and Algeria, whose foreign minister said Wednesday that Syria “is in the process of making more of an effort.”

Another diplomat in Damascus was fatalistic. “There’s not much more that anyone, at the international level, can do,” he said. “There’s not much more the Arab League can, either.”

Syria’s agreement to allow 165 observers from the Arab League last month to monitor a deal that seemed stillborn even when it was announced — a government pledge to end violence, free prisoners and pull the military from cities — was viewed as one of the last diplomatic tools.

But last week, one of the monitors, an Algerian named Anwar Malek, resigned in disgust, saying the mission had only given Assad cover to continue the crackdown. Opposition activists say hundreds have died since the monitors arrived.

“Bashar was looking for a shield, and he found it with

us,” Malek said in an interview. “The mission has failed until now. It hasn’t achieved anything.”

He said other monitors were also quitting.

The mission’s leader, Lt. Gen. Mohammed Ahmed alDabi, who once ran Sudan’s notorious military intelligence agency, attacked Malek, saying he stayed in his hotel room rather than doing his job.

But Nabil Elaraby, the Arab League’s secretary-general, acknowledged where Syria might be headed, with or without the monitors.

“Yes, I fear a civil war, and the events that we see and hear about now could lead to a civil war,” he said in an interview with an Egyptian television station.

He echoed a growing sentiment in many capitals, the potential for Syria’s crisis to intersect with a combustible array of rivalries in the region.

Peter Harling, a Syria analyst with the International Crisis Group, said, “I’ve never seen something quite so ominous take shape in the region in 15 years.”

As with past speeches, Assad’s address on Tuesday was not meant for the pro-

testers challenging his 11year rule. His audience, analysts say, was his supporters, who were by many accounts buoyed by his projection of confidence and his suggestion of reform: a constitutional referendum and the prospect of a national unity government.

“They finally grasped it, and this is the first positive sign they’ve shown,” said a 28year-old Damascus resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He tried to attend the rally on Wednesday but got stuck in traffic. “They’ve now moved from defense to offense.”

Assad still commands a largely loyal government. Unlike in Libya, defections from within the leadership, or even diplomatic service, have been few — so rare, in fact, that the departure of a mid-ranking cleric from the state’s religious establishment last week was hailed as a victory by the opposition.

For many, the calculus remains much as it did at the beginning of the uprising.

Though some soldiers have defected from the military, the more essential security forces, dominated by Assad’s own Alawite clan, have remained cohesive. Their loyalty, along with support from nervous Christians — who with the Alawites make up more than a fifth of the country — means his fall is not imminent or even likely.

But residents and diplomats speak of the erosion of his authority, often framed as the diminishment of the prestige of the state. Embassies have drastically reduced their staffs, and residents in Damascus speak of a growing anxiety after twin bombings tore through a fortified part of the capital in December.

“There is nothing happening around us, but psychologically, the stress ... I don’t know, it’s hitting home now,” said a 29-year-old bank employee in Damascus who spoke on condition of anonymity. “The last explosions were really close.

It’s very stressful.”

In Homs, beleaguered but still famous for its humor, residents have poked fun at the grimness. A joke these days has a husband bringing home a chicken. He suggests his wife cook it in the oven. But there’s no gas, she tells him.

The stove? No electricity, she says. Spared, the chicken declares, “God, Syria, Bashar and no one else!”

Activists admit to a growing vacuum in embattled streets, as the bitterly divided exiled opposition fails to connect with the domestic protest movement.

“They don’t understand the situation on the ground, and they have to be blamed for that,” said Wissam Tarif, an activist with Avaaz, a human rights and advocacy group.

He warned about a growing armed presence in Syria, with no leadership. “It’s a very dangerous business. The vacuum will eventually be filled. By whom, we don’t know.”

Paterno: ‘I wish I had done more’ • The former Penn State coach finally discusses his actions relating to the child sex abuse scandal

By Sally Jenkins The Washington Post

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno sat in a wheelchair at the family kitchen table where he has eaten, prayed and argued for more than a half-century. All around him family members were shouting at each other, yet he was whispering. His voice sounded like wind blowing across a field of winter stalks, rattling the husks. Lung cancer has robbed him of the breath to say all that he wants to about the scandal he still struggles to comprehend, and which ended his career as head football coach at Penn State University.

The words come like gusts. “I wanted to build up, not break down,” he said.

Crowded around the table were his three voluble sons, Scott, Jay, David, daughter Mary Kay, and his wife of 50 years, Sue, all chattering at once. Paterno’s hand showed a tremor, and a wig replaced his once-fine head of black hair.

Paterno’s hope is that time will be his ally when it comes to judging what he built, versus what broke down. “I’m not 31 years old trying to prove something to anybody,” he said. “I know where I am.” This is where he is: wracked by radiation and chemotherapy, in a wheelchair with a broken pelvis, and “shocked and saddened” as he struggles to explain a breakdown of devastating proportions. Jerry Sandusky, his former assistant coach at Penn State from 1969 to 1999, is charged with more than 50 counts of sexually abusing young boys over a 15-year period. He maintains his innocence. If Sandusky is guilty, “I’m sick about it,” Paterno said.

How Sandusky, 67, allegedly evaded detection by state child services, university administrators, teachers, parents, donors and Paterno himself, remains an open question. “I wish I knew,” Paterno said. “I don’t know the answer to that.

It’s hard.” Almost as difficult for Paterno to answer is the question of why, after receiving a report in 2002 that Sandusky had abused a boy in the shower of Penn State’s Lasch Football Building, and forwarding it to his superiors, he didn’t follow up more aggressively.

“I didn’t know exactly how to handle it and I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the university procedure was,” he said. “So I backed away and turned it over to some other people, people I thought would have a little more expertise than I did. It didn’t work out that way.”

Former athletic director Tim Curley and school vice president Gary Schultz face charges of perjury and failing to report suspected child abuse, based on their inaction. They have pleaded innocent. Though he is not charged with a crime, Penn State president Graham Spanier was fired on Nov. 9, along with Paterno.

Accused of no crime Paterno is accused of no wrongdoing, and in fact authorities have said he fulfilled his legal obligations by reporting to his superiors. Nevertheless, the university Board of Trustees summarily dismissed him with a late-night phone call four days after Sandusky’s arrest. At about 10 p.m., Paterno and Sue were getting ready for bed when the doorbell rang.

An assistant athletic director was at the door, and wordlessly handed Sue a slip of paper.

There was nothing on it but the name of the vice chairman of trustees, John Surma, with a phone number. They stood frozen by the bedside in their nightclothes. Sue in a robe and Paterno in pajamas and a Penn State sweatshirt. Paterno dialed the number.

Surma told Paterno, “In the best interests of the university, you are terminated.” Paterno hung up and repeated the words to his wife. She grabbed the phone and redialed.

“After 61 years he deserved better,” she snapped. “He deserved better.”

The firing provoked a riot on

John McDonnell / The Washington Post

In his first public comments since being fired two months ago, former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno told The Washington Post he “didn’t know which way to go” after an assistant coach came to him in 2002 saying he had seen retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing a boy.

campus that night.

To Penn State students, Paterno was less a person than a beloved monument. He had arrived at a “cow college” in 1950 as an assistant coach armed with a flathead haircut, a Brooklyn accent and a degree from Brown. As the head coach from 1966 on, he struck an austerely iconic pose, managing to be both fierce and bookish, with his black cleats and his thick black-framed glasses. To his rivals, he was a holier-than-thou prig who intimated he was more principled than they were.

Under his leadership Penn State football became a kind of gross national product as he won more games than any other coach in history, yet regularly posted high graduation rates — his team was ranked No.1 academically out of the top 25 football teams in 2009 and 2011 by the New America Foundation’s Academic Bowl Championship Series. The “cow college” grew into a public research university with $4.6 billion in revenue and buildings as large as airplane hangars. Beaver Stadium was renovated and enlarged six times during his tenure.

But after 61 years on the campus, Paterno cleared out his office in the space of one day. It was an end he was unprepared for. Yet it came with the realization that as the face of the university, people assign him greater responsibility than other officials.

“Whether it’s fair I don’t know, but they do it,” he said.

“You would think I ran the show here.”

Over two separate conversations on Thursday and Friday, Paterno discussed his career and his actions relating to Sandusky. His attorney Wick Sollers of the Washington law firm King & Spalding, and a communications adviser, Dan McGinn of TMG Strategies, monitored the conversations, in part to be sure Paterno was lucid, since he has experienced fogginess from his chemo treatments, one of which he underwent the day before the first interview.

Since the scandal broke, Paterno has been largely silent while dealing with his health issues, despite scathing criticism that included accusations that he protected Sandusky and wielded more power in the cloistered community known as Happy Valley than the university president.

Paterno was initially reluctant to speak because “I wanted everybody to settle down,” he said. But he is so eager to defend his record that he insisted on continuing the interview from his bedside Friday morning, though ill. He was hospitalized for observation later in the day due to complications from the chemo but, according to the family, had improved by Saturday morning.

Mostly he sat in his wheelchair covered by a blanket in the modest stone-and-plateglass home he bought for $9,000 in 1966.

He displays only a few mementos of his football career, jumbled in a glass case in a dark corner of his old study, a small, woody space. There are game balls, the most prominent one from Oct. 29, 2011, when the Nittany Lions defeated Illinois, 10-7, to make Paterno the winningest coach in the annals of major college football, with 409 victories.

Sandusky was arrested just a week later.

What Penn State officials knew about Sandusky and when is the subject of no fewer than five formal investigations.

They range from state Attorney General Linda Kelly’s criminal investigation of Sandusky, to an NCAA inquiry, to Penn State’s in-house inquiry led by former FBI director Louis J. Freeh. The best-case scenario is that the institutional leaders were guilty of blindness, and an unfeeling self-absorption.

The worst case is a criminal cover-up to protect a wealthy university’s reputation.

In his words This is Paterno’s own account: On a Saturday morning in 2002, an upset young assistant coach named Mike McQueary knocked on Paterno’s door to tell him he had witnessed a shocking scene in the Penn State football building showers. Until that moment, Paterno said, he had “no inkling” that Sandusky might be a sexual deviant. By then Sandusky was a former employee, with whom Paterno had little to do.

Although Sandusky had been his close coaching associate and helped fashion Penn State defenses for three decades, their relationship was “professional, not social,” as Paterno described it. “He was a lot younger than me.” Sandusky had been out of the program for three years, and in fact, Paterno said he cannot recall the last time he had seen or spoken to Sandusky. “I can’t,” he said.

Sandusky retired in 1999, shortly after Penn State made the Alamo Bowl. The timing was curious. Paterno’s understanding was that Sandusky took early retirement on his recommendation after Paterno told him frankly that he would not become his successor. The state was offering 30-year employees a handsome buyout, and Paterno believed Sandusky should take it. Paterno was frustrated that Sandusky spent so much time working on his youth foundation, The Second Mile, that he was not available to help in recruiting and other coaching duties.

Authorities now say Sandusky used Second Mile to meet and groom his alleged victims.

“He came to see me and we talked a little about his career,” Paterno said. “I said, you know, Jerry, you want to be head coach, you can’t do as much as you’re doing with the other operation. I said this job takes so much detail, and for you to think you can go off and get involved in fundraising and a lot of things like that. … I said you can’t do both, that’s basically what I told him.”

Paterno insists he was completely unaware of a 1998 police investigation into a report from a Second Mile mother that Sandusky had inappropriately touched her son in a shower. The inquiry ended when the local prosecutor declined to bring charges. “You know it wasn’t like it was something everybody in the building knew about,” Paterno said. “Nobody knew about it.”

Paterno contends that ignorance was the context with which he heard McQueary’s disturbing story in 2002. McQueary, sitting at Paterno’s kitchen table, told him that he had been at the football building late the evening before when he heard noises coming from the shower.

“He was very upset and I said why, and he was very reluctant to get into it,” Paterno said. “He told me what he saw, and I said, what? He said it, well, looked like inappropriate, or fondling, I’m not quite sure exactly how he put it. I said you did what you had to do. It’s my job now to figure out what we

want to do. So I sat around.

It was a Saturday. Waited till Sunday because I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing. And then I called my superiors and I said, ‘Hey, we got a problem, I think. Would you guys look into it?’ Cause I didn’t know, you know. We never had, until that point, 58 years I think, I had never had to deal with something like that.

And I didn’t feel adequate.”

At that point, Paterno set up a meeting for McQueary and Curley, the athletic director, and Schultz, who oversaw university police. McQueary has testified that he gave both men a far more graphic description of what he witnessed, which he believed to be Sandusky sodomizing a boy of about 10, who had his hands against the shower wall. At the preliminary hearing for Curley and Schultz on Dec. 16, McQueary said he had been reluctant to go into similar “great detail about sexual acts” with Paterno, out of respect for the coach, who was 75 at the time.

Schultz and Curley have maintained that McQueary failed to impart the seriousness of what he saw to them as well.

They never told police about the allegation, instead informing Sandusky he could no longer bring children to university facilities. Prosecutors say Sandusky continued to abuse boys for six more years.

Paterno has said, “In hindsight, I wish I had done more.”

Paterno’s portrait of himself is of an old-world man profoundly confused by what McQueary told him, and who was hesitant to make follow-up calls because he did not want to be seen as trying to exert any influence for or against Sandusky. “I didn’t know which way to go,” he said. “And rather than get in there and make a mistake . . .”

He reiterated that McQueary was unclear with him about the nature of what he saw — and added that even if McQueary had been more graphic, he’s not sure he would have comprehended it.

“You know, he didn’t want

to get specific,” Paterno said.

“And to be frank with you I don’t know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man.

So I just did what I thought was best. I talked to people that I thought would be, if there was a problem, that would be following up on it.”

Paterno declined to judge Sandusky, or his other Penn State colleagues. “I think we got to wait and see what happens,” he said. “The courts are taking care of it, the legal system is taking care of it.”

According to Sollers, the attorney, Paterno has no legal exposure in the Sandusky case.

Paterno has cooperated fully with the investigation, and has “met on multiple occasions voluntarily” with representatives from the attorney general’s office, Sollers said. “In my judgment Coach Paterno has no legal liability in this matter. In fact, he acted completely appropriately in reporting the only allegation he received to his superiors and had every expectation that the allegation would be investigated thoroughly.”

Paterno has felt smaller repercussions.

His son Scott says Paterno has been “shunned” by many in the university, though he did hear from current Penn State President Rodney Erickson last week when he made a $100,000 donation to the school. His name has been removed from trophies. The Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia has discontinued its Joseph V. Paterno Award, which was to be given to coaches who made a positive impact. A nomination for the Presidential Medal of Freedom was withdrawn.

But Joe Paterno is not the victim here, he reminds you.

“You know, I’m not as concerned about me,” he said.

“What’s happened to me has been great. I got five great kids. Seventeen great grandchildren. I’ve had a wonderful experience here at Penn State.

I don’t want to walk away from this thing bitter. I want to be helpful.”

New chief of staff will push executive powers

By Peter Nicholas McClatchy-Tribune News Service

With the appointment of Jacob Lew as his new chief of staff, President Barack Obama chose a Washington veteran who is well-liked on Capitol Hill, but — just as important for dealing with hostile Republicans in an election year — is also an expert on the executive powers Obama can use to advance his agenda without lawmakers’ cooperation.

Lew, who replaces William Daley, steps into the role after a year of fierce partisan battles that saw Obama’s policy goals largely stalled in Congress.

More and more, the president relied on executive orders to enact small pieces of his economic, education and housing proposals.

Lew is skilled in such practices. For Bill Clinton and Obama, he has headed the Office of Management and Budget, whose mission includes putting in place rules that don’t require congressional approval.

As Obama’s fourth chief of staff, he’ll be positioned to carry out the White House’s pivot away from engagement with Congress in favor of unilateral action.

“Clearly, since Labor Day, there has been this turn from talking to (House Speaker) John A. Boehner and (Senate Republican leader) Mitch McConnell all the time — Velcroing themselves to Congress — toward using all the tools of government to move the agenda forward,” said John Podesta, who was chief of staff under Clinton and worked closely with Lew.

Cruise Continued from A1 But late Saturday, nearly 24 hours after the capsizing, rescuers had reason to celebrate: a South Korean couple on their honeymoon responded in the door-to-door search of cabins and were brought to safety in good condition, officials said.

Close to 40 others remained unaccounted for.

The incident immediately raised a host of questions: Why did it hit a reef so close to the Tuscan island of Giglio?

Did a power failure cause the crew to lose control? Did the captain — under investigation on manslaughter allegations — steer it in the wrong direction on purpose? And why did crew members tell passengers they weren’t in danger until the boat was listing perilously to the side?

The delay made lifeboat rescue eventually impossible for some of the passengers, some of whom jumped into the sea while others waited to be plucked to safety by helicopters.

“We had to scream at the controllers to release the boats from the side,” said Mike van Dijk, from Pretoria, South Africa. “It was a scramble, an absolute scramble.”

Van Dijk said the boat he was on — on the upended port side — got stuck along the ship’s wall as it came down.

“It was a hell of a sound, the crunching,” he said.

Drop Continued from A1 Until this school year, it was standard practice for Bend-La Pine principals to judge whether students should be allowed to drop classes without penalty. A new policy codified that practice this year, but it will soon be reviewed by a committee composed of district employees.

“I’m really looking forward to us convening the committee to really look at this and talk about it and to ask those hard questions: What’s the purpose behind the rule? What greater good is being served here?”

Van Buren said.

The Summit math teacher filed the grievance through the Bend Education Association, arguing that Baker had violated the district’s contract with teachers by changing a grade. Bend-La Pine Assistant Superintendent John Rexford, acting as the hearings officer, decided that Baker had acted within his power.

Rexford concluded that Baker did not, in fact, change the grade because the teacher had not given one. The course was not finished at the time the student was allowed to drop, which means Baker changed her enrollment status rather than her grade, according to the grievance decision.

Baker did not reply to a call for comment.

The union did not appeal the decision, which came at the third level of a five-step grievance process. BEA President Mark Molner said the union could have handled the initial grievance differently.

“Maybe in retrospect, we should’ve been targeting the policy right from the get-go,” he said. “There are maybe some regrets around that.”

Molner said drops should require teacher consent, but he declined to discuss what he’d like the committee to conclude.

“It’s probably impossible to write language that is going to cover every instance.

This is just part of that ongoing process of revision and rethinking.”

A similar case in La Pine Baker was not the only principal to allow a student to drop without a grade penalty near the end of term last year. Jay Mathisen, principal of La Pine High School, allowed a student to drop without penalty with about a week remaining in the year. Mathisen said the current policy affords principals the flexibility they need to make such decisions.

In Mathisen’s case, school staff members had pushed the student to “reach” and take a particularly difficult course.

cruise giant Carnival Corp., defended the actions of its crew and said it was cooperating with the investigation.

Carnival issued a statement expressing sympathy but didn’t address the allegations of delayed evacuation.

The captain, Francesco Schettino, was detained for questioning by prosecutors investigating him for suspected manslaughter, abandoning ship before all others, and causing a shipwreck, state TV and Sky TV said. Prosecutor Francesco Verusio was quoted by the ANSA news agency as saying Schettino deliberately chose a sea route that was too close to shore.

Schettino’s lawyer, Bruno Leporatti, told the agency: “I’d like to say that several hundred people owed their life to the expertise that the commander of the Costa Concordia showed during the emergency.”

France said two of the victims were Frenchmen; a Peruvian diplomat identified the third victim as Tomas Alberto Costilla Mendoza, 49, a crewman from Peru. Some 30 people were injured, at least two seriously.

Late Saturday, firefighters who had been searching the Costa Concordia for dozens who remained missing heard distinct shouts, “one in a male voice, other in a female voice” coming from the cruise ship, coast guard officer Marcello Fertitta said.

They turned out to be a honeymooning South Korean couple, who were brought out

To avoid identifying the student, Mathisen declined to describe the situation in greater detail. The student struggled through the term, eventually getting extra tutoring. The class was too much for the student, however. While the teacher wanted the student to finish the term, Mathisen said, he allowed the student to drop the class without receiving an F. Instead, the student received a W, for withdraw.

No grievance was filed in this case.

Mathisen believed the student had given an honest effort and so should not be penalized for struggling in a class school staff had pushed.

Mathisen estimated that about four students drop classes without penalty each year at La Pine High, but that dozens more ask to drop.

Some of those students drop and receive F’s, but many push through to the end of term, Mathisen said.

“To think you’re going to set a policy and never have to look at an exception, I just don’t think that’s the best way to operate. You always need to leave room to make the right decision for a kid if you can,” he said.

Each district has its own policy Bend-La Pine’s policy is not unusual. According to the Oregon School Boards Association, districts across the state have broadly similar policies, though differences exist district to district.

In the Sisters School District, a teacher has the final say, according to Dan Saraceno, a counselor at Sisters High School. Though parents and students may appeal to the principal, superintendent or school board, no drop request has progressed past a teacher’s level over the past few years.

If Redmond High School students want to drop after 10 days, they receive failing grades, unless the parents, student, teacher and an administrator agree to let the student drop without a grade penalty, according to Assistant Principal Tony Pupo.

In Bend-La Pine, a case-by-case basis Gary Whitley, a Bend High School counselor, estimated that more than 10 students drop classes without penalty each year at the school. Because such decisions take into consideration each student’s circumstances, the numbers fluctuate from year to year.

Most students who drop classes without penalty suffer either from long-term illnesses like mononucleosis or injuries like concussions, Whitley said.

Survivors of the Costa Concordia capsizing arrive in Marseille, France, on Saturday. More than 4,000 passengers and crew were on the ship when it ran aground off the Italian coast late Friday and flipped on its side.

in good condition, Prato fire Cmdr. Vincenzo Bennardo said from the scene.

A risky search by divers of the sunken, water-filled half of the ship for the missing was suspended at darkness Saturday night.

The trapped survivors were found more than 24 hours after the ship ran aground and lurched violently.

Passengers described a scene of confusion. Silverware, plates and glasses crashed down from the dining room’s upper floor balcony, children wailed and darkened hallways upended themselves. Panicked passengers slipped on broken glass as the lights went out while crew members insisted nothing serious was wrong.

“Have you seen ‘Titanic’?

That’s exactly what it was,” said Valerie Ananias, 31, a schoolteacher from Los Angeles who was traveling with her sister and parents. They

Students enrolled in classes beyond their skill levels are sometimes allowed to switch to lower-level courses.

Whitley supports the current policy but believes administrators should use caution.

Letting a student with a 4.0 GPA drop because he is earning a B is not reason enough.

A policy that allowed such penalty-free drops would be abused, he said.

“It creates some academic integrity issues if you allow students to drop when they don’t have a good reason.”

Because the policy is so broad, principals can interpret it and use it differently. At Mountain View High School, Principal Katie Legace says she has allowed about five students to drop without penalty each year. In response to the new policy, Legace created a formal process. Before the decision reaches Legace’s desk, the student, parents, a teacher and a counselor must weigh in.

Once Legace makes the decision, every one of those people must sign a form summarizing the situation — even in those cases when a student received an F for dropping.

The participants sign either in agreement or disagreement. Legace said her school’s system is designed to ensure everyone has a say. That does not mean, however, everyone gets to make the decision.

“The bottom line is somebody needs to make a decision, and it probably should be the administrator after they hear all the input,” Legace said.

Because the district does not specifically track such drops, it is unclear how often they occur. Van Buren and the principals said they occurred only rarely.

Policy under debate Part of the upcoming committee work could include new reporting standards. One possibility would require a principal to discuss such cases with a superior before making a final decision, Van Buren said.

But Van Buren considers that a relatively minor issue in the scope of the committee’s work.

The committee must question every point of the policy, including the 10-day rule, Van Buren said.

Some are concerned that without the 10-day rule, students would drop classes at will. Van Buren wonders if that’s the case.

“I don’t even know where this 10 days comes from,” she said. “I don’t know that anyone has really given it consideration. It just kind of continued without people really talking about it.”

Goats Continued from A1

Back on the mountain In the 1950s, the state began mountain goat reintroduction by releasing five of the animals, captured from northern Washington, to the Wallowa Mountains in Eastern Oregon.

Now Eastern Oregon, particularly the Elkhorn Mountains near Baker City, is a stronghold for mountain goats. Statewide, there are about 800 mountain goats, about half of those in the Elkhorn range.

Using salt licks to lure the goats into traps, state scientists netted the animals now on Mount Jefferson in the Elkhorn range in 2010.

Shortly after the release, three of the mountain goats died, according to the ODFW. Two fell off cliffs, and a cougar killed the other. But there don’t appear to be any other fatalities, and there have been reports that some of the goats now have kids in tow.

Efforts to find and count the goats on the ground last summer proved difficult, with state scientists only tracking three animals, Heath said. Airborne expeditions were more successful. During a flight last month, state scientists found all nine of the goats carrying VHF radio collars. All were in “good goat habitat,” according to ODFW. The state is tracking another seven goats using GPS collars, and they’ve also stayed in good goat habitat.

To obtain a more accurate count of how many

mountain goats are now on Mount Jefferson, Heath said, state scientists will likely fly it next summer.

Hunts up high The state is considering releasing 20 more mountain goats onto Mount Jefferson this summer, said Steven George, a wildlife biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in Bend.

Releasing more mountain goats would boost the population, he said, and add more genetic diversity.

“It seem to help existing populations,” he said.

While the state is considering reintroducing mountain goats to the Three Sisters and Three Fingered Jack, George said there are no immediate plans to do so.

If the goat population on Mount Jefferson passes 50 and stays above that for five years, state scientists have said there could be tribal hunts for the mountain goats on the reservation.

Hunting the animals — which are adept at scaling cliffs and known to summit tall peaks — could prove a challenge.

“They are pretty rugged creatures,” said Doug Calvin, wildlife, parks and enforcement manager the tribes’ Natural Resources division. “As an animal they go to places that most people don’t want to travel.”

affected by the grounding of the Costa Concordia and especially the loved ones of those who lost their lives. They will remain in our thoughts and prayers in the wake of this tragic event.”

Costa Cruises said about 1,000 Italian passengers were onboard, as well as more than 500 Germans, about 160 French and about 1,000 crew members. The State Department said about 126 U.S. citizens were onboard.

Coast guard Cmdr. Francesco Paolillo said the exact circumstances of the accident were still unclear, but that the first alarm aboard went off about 10:30 p.m., about three hours after the Concordia had begun its voyage from the port of Civitavecchia to Savona, in northwestern Italy. No SOS was sent, he said.

Five helicopters from the coast guard, navy and air force took turns airlifting survivors still aboard and ferrying them to safety.

Costa Cruises said the Costa Concordia was sailing on a weeklong cruise across the Mediterranean Sea that began Jan. 7 in Savona with stops at Civitavecchia, Marseille, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Cagliari and Palermo.

The Concordia had a previous accident in Italian waters, ANSA reported. In 2008, when strong winds buffeted Palermo, the cruise ship banged against the Sicilian port’s dock, and suffered damage but no one was injured, ANSA said.

Newberry Continued from A1 Although there have been reports that the goat is not alone — possibly with two to four other mountain goats — state scientists weren’t able to confirm them late last summer with a trip to Newberry Crater, said Corey Heath, district wildlife biologist for ODFW in Prineville.

“We saw him,” he said, “but we didn’t see any other goats with him.”

all bore dark red bruises on their knees from the desperate crawl they endured along nearly vertical hallways and stairwells, trying to reach rescue boats.

“We were crawling up a hallway, in the dark, with only the light from the life vest strobe flashing,” her mother, Georgia Ananias, 61 said. “We could hear plates and dishes crashing, people slamming against walls.”

She choked up as she remembered the moment when an Argentine couple handed her their 3-year-old daughter, unable to keep their balance as the ship listed to the side.

“He said, ‘Take my baby,’” Georgia Ananias said, covering her mouth with her hand.

“I grabbed the baby. But then I was being pushed down. I didn’t want the baby to fall down the stairs. I gave the baby back. I couldn’t hold her.”

Whispered her daughter Val-

erie: “I wonder where they are.”

A top Costa executive, Gianni Onorato, said Saturday the Concordia’s captain had the liner on its regular, weekly route when it struck a reef.

Italian coast guard officials said the circumstances were still unclear, but that the ship hit an unknown obstacle.

Despite some early reports that the captain was dining with passengers when his ship crashed into the reef, he was on the bridge, Onorato said.

“The ship was doing what it does 52 times a year, going along the route between Civitavecchia and Savona,” a shakenlooking Onorato told reporters on Giglio, a popular vacation isle off Italy’s central west coast. He said the captain was an 11-year Costa veteran and that the cruise line was cooperating with Italian investigators to find out what went wrong.

Many passengers complained the crew didn’t give them good directions on how to evacuate and, once the emergency became clear, delayed lowering the lifeboats until the ship was listing too heavily for many to be released.

Surviving passengers huddled under woolen or aluminum blankets in a middle school on the Italian mainland of Porto Santo Stefano, where passengers were ferried early Saturday from Giglio. Some wore their life preservers, their shoeless feet were covered with aluminum foil.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Congress Continued from A1 Boehner’s travails, which many Republicans and Democrats view as stemming from a fundamental misreading of what he can extract from his conference, have hurt his credibility both in his own ranks and with congressional Democrats and the White House.

“I wish I could say it will be better in terms of more bipartisanship,” said Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y. “But I don’t think it will.”

Boehner, however, said he was confident that he had full control over his members.

“You know, I grew up in a big family and had my share of frustration trying to come to decisions within the family,” Boehner said in an interview in his Capitol Hill office. “And, my goodness, there are 242 of us in this family. You’re going to have divergent opinions.

“Some people want to do more things, and they want to do them faster,” he added.

“Others think we ought to take a more reasoned approach.

My job is to listen to my members to make a decision about how we move forward, get everybody on the same page and go. It’s not easy.”

Asked if he sometimes wanted to shake members who would not listen to his appeals, Boehner laughed and said, “Yes.”

Deep party divisions Boehner’s problems on the Hill reflect the divisions within the Republican Party, with the most right-leaning faction’s quest for ideological purity chafing against a desire among some members, including Boehner, to compromise in the name of legislative accomplishment.

“With a 25-seat majority,” said Rep. Aaron Schock, RIll., “you need to be together in order to govern. With so many new members comes the challenge of getting everyone’s expectations to be reasonable and having unified goals. I believe many members have more reasonable expectations now.”

The Republican presidential nominee, when he is selected, is certain to complicate matters further, adding another prominent voice to every policy battle.

In Boehner’s favor this year is an absence of the kind of mandatory legislation, like a bill to finance the government or raise the debt ceiling, that caused so much chaos last year.

But still awaiting congressional action are long-term extensions of the payroll tax holiday and unemployment benefits, which were abandoned in December over disagreements on how to pay for them, and a Federal Aviation Administration bill that got mired in a fight over labor unions. All of those debates raise the possibility of new clashes between the parties and within the Republican conference.

The bipartisan House and Senate conference committee assigned to deal with the payroll and unemployment benefit legislation could expedite and smooth the process, but Republican votes will be needed to pass any legislation it drafts.

“I am one of those conservatives who would have voted against the Senate bill and not voted to extend the payroll tax cuts at all,” said Rep. Dennis Ross of Florida, “because that is the better policy.”

Republican leaders seem dedicated to a plan of letting members vent any lingering frustrations in the days before their party retreat in Baltimore this week, and then moving on to a new set of bills related to the economy.

In a memorandum to members, Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, the chairman of the House Republican Conference, said, “We will devote our time in Baltimore to looking forward, discussing our goals for 2012, and designing a plan to achieve them.”

Republicans hope Obama’s pronouncement that a fullyear extension of the payroll tax cut was the last “mustdo” piece of legislation for the White House will work in their favor, making them look as though they are trying to create jobs while Obama is busy campaigning.

“If I had the president’s record,” said Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, “I’d be looking for a scapegoat, too. When he says Congress, I wonder if he is including the Senate, which is run by his own party.”

In the new session, Boehner

said, “we will have continued, relentless focus on getting our economy moving again and getting the American people back to work.” High on the agenda is a bill to remove many regulations on U.S. energy production, with projected new revenues from domestic production to be used to improve infrastructure.

Many still angry In interviews, a dozen House Republicans said that though they remained angry about the way the last year ended, they were ready to support Boehner and move on.

“You will see a reinvigorated conference,” said Rep. Cory Gardner of Colorado. “I don’t think you win the American people by discussing the past.”

But it is clear that some members, many of whom have been steadfast in their opposition to Boehner’s efforts for the politically possible, will continue to stir the pot. Rep. Allen West of Florida told a radio host that the leadership had sold the party “down the road.”

Rep. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina, who sits in a far more comfortable reelection position than many of his colleagues, took the fight to them, saying he was “embarrassed by his fellow freshmen Republican lawmakers in D.C.,” according to a report in Politico.

Mulvaney added, “I would be embarrassed to tell you how many folks ran saying that they weren’t going to spend a bunch of money, they weren’t going to raise the debt ceiling, and then they went to Washington, D.C., and did exactly that.”

It is just that sort of infighting that many hope to avoid. “There is an expectation that we work together,” said Schock of Illinois.

“We will be struggling to find common ground.”

Ironman Continued from A1 There are 10 full-distance Ironman events in the United States, including the event in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

Weighing pros and cons The benefits could be tremendous, according to local event organizers and the Oregon Sports Authority. As local officials recently noted, organizing such an event also poses a major logistical challenge.

“Is Ironman too big for us right now?” Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone wondered out loud at a recent meeting.

Aaron Switzer, president of Lay It Out Events in Bend and one of the local organizers, said he initially had the same question.

“When Marshall first brought me the proposal, I had the same feeling,” Switzer said, referring to another event organizer, Marshall Glickman. “I agreed to walk the road and find out how much commitment we have from the community.”

Some supporters said the event isn’t just an opportunity for athletes to prove their mettle. It’s also an opportunity to test the community’s ability to rise to a challenge.

“I think it’s great to rise to this level and have this test,” County Commissioner Alan Unger said during a Jan. 4 meeting.

Some commitments are made, others still needed Event organizers have already secured some of the commitments they need for the application, Glickman told county commissioners recently. The Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation agreed to coordinate volunteers, and The Center in Bend agreed to provide the required 100 medical personnel and some funding for the event.

Organizers are still waiting for commitments from Deschutes County to provide law

Event application due Jan. 31 Event organizers preparing an application to bring the Ironman triathlon to Central Oregon are seeking signatures on a petition in support of the event. As of Jan. 4, more than 800 people had signed the petition, which can be found at www.ipetitions.com /petition/oregonironman.

enforcement and waste collection and removal, which would come at a cost to the public, albeit one that would bring a return for the local economy.

Private companies haul garbage and recyclables, so the county would have to contract with one of these companies for the event.

The million-dollar question Interim County Administrator Erik Kropp said the county has not calculated the potential cost of providing the services requested by event organizers.

If the region is selected, Kropp said, he would recommend the county use state lottery funds or money from the county general fund — a mix of property taxes and other revenue — to pay for the services.

“I think an event of this magnitude … brings so many dollars into the community that they can require public participation,” Kropp said.

“And communities have been willing to put up some public dollars because of the impact.”

Glickman wrote in a Dec. 12 email to Commissioner Tammy Baney that public resources would be key to securing the Ironman.

“As you know, the economic viability of staging this event relies on the willingness of Deschutes County and the other relevant public partners to provide these services,” Glickman wrote.

County officials have promised to find a way to pay for the Ironman that would not

5 41 . 317. 6 0 0 0

take money away from local services, such as the Sheriff’s Office.

“We’re going to have staff we have to pay, and there’s no way to get around that,” said Capt. Erik Utter, who oversees the patrol division of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.

Ironman’s requirement for 200 police officers could be a challenge for Central Oregon, even if multiple police departments and sheriff’s offices contribute personnel. The largest presence of uniformed officers that the region mustered was in 2003, when President George W. Bush visited, Utter said.

Ironman officials said the number of police personnel requested could actually include a mix of uniformed officers and others, such as search and rescue volunteers, Glickman said at a recent meeting with county officials. Ultimately, the number and type of law enforcement personnel necessary for the event will depend upon the course.

Which route to Sunriver?

At this point, event organizers have not decided which routes they will propose in their Ironman application. However, they provided preliminary courses to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office to solicit feedback on safety issues and other potential concerns.

Utter said the route could vary dramatically, depending upon the starting point.

“They would like to have it in Wickiup (Reservoir), but in late September, you don’t have a guarantee the water level’s going to be where you want it at to do that swim,” Utter said.

Prineville Reservoir could be a possible backup site. In either case, the local Sheriff’s Office would likely provide marine personnel to ensure the safety of swimmers.

From either reservoir, athletes would then likely ride their bicycles into Bend and either transition to the running

A7

portion of the race in Bend or ride down to Sunriver and begin the run there, Utter said.

“In all cases, the end location would be Sunriver,” Utter said.

The most cost-effective scenario, which would have the least impact on the public, would be for the entire running course to be contained in Sunriver, Utter said. Sheriff’s deputies and other uniformed police officers could reopen county roads sooner, and personnel would not have to control traffic on the long sections of rural roads that would be required for a run outside of Sunriver.

“We will work hard to adjust to any decision that is made,” Utter said. “We’re not the dictators on route.”

Alana Hughson, president and CEO of the Central Oregon Visitors Association, said local hotels and other lodging providers have already made commitments to reserve the required number of rooms in September 2013. The athletes and their supporters would require up to 67,000 room-nights per event, in part because they have to check in with Ironman 36 hours before the event, according to Glickman.

A decision by spring The local organizers must submit three route options, and representatives of the World Triathlon Corp. that organizes Ironman events will visit in February. Ironman will determine which city will host the event by March, but the decision will not be announced until May, Glickman said.

Regardless of the challenges, Utter said local law enforcement employees would be ready to pitch in to make the Ironman happen.

“I think it will be a great opportunity to experience a nice shot in the arm financially over the course of those five years,” Utter said. “That’s not lost on any of us, especially when you’re looking at how hard this region has been hit by the downturn.”

DEQ loan will fund sewer line extension in Madras

LOCAL BRIEFING Dump truck fire put out in Bend An abandoned dump truck was apparently set on fire early Saturday in southeast Bend.

Firefighters responded to the fire in an open field east of Azalia Avenue shortly before 3 a.m. and found the truck on fire and flames spreading into the surrounding field. The fire was extinguished before it could spread to other vehicles that have been abandoned in the field.

Damage was estimated at $15,000.

Officials said the fire appears to have been set intentionally, and other vehicles in the area had been vandalized.

The fire is one of several suspicious fires in Bend in recent months.

Just over a week ago, Bend Police arrested 19-year-old Matthew Norman Stahlheber in connection with three vehicle fires on the city’s west side. Stahlheber is currently being held at the Deschutes County jail.

“We would prefer to have kids smiling and having fun,” Hogstead said. “Shiny rocks are just great.”

Re-enactor Bob Vandell — a gold panner on Saturday but a fur trapper or a sawmill operator as the museum’s hanging exhibits demand — said the kids who visit the exhibit get so wrapped up in the hunt that it doesn’t matter what they’re looking for. While some leave with big plans to trade in their envelopes of tiny metal flecks for new toys, most, Vandell said, are just thrilled to have found something.

Panning is just one part of the museum’s extensive exhibit on life in the West in the late 19th century. Along with authentic

Central Oregon was never a particularly productive area for gold mining, Hogstead said, and the museum’s gold mining town is more reminiscent of what might have been seen in Southern Oregon near Jacksonville, or to the east near Canyon City, Baker City and John Day. See Gold / B2

For the week ending Jan. 14, 1912

Arm broken, goes 9 rounds With his arm broken just above the wrist, Willard M. Houston gave one of the most remarkable exhibitions of nerve ever seen in Bend by continuing for nine rounds the boxing contest with James Servalle (“Cinch Kid”) Saturday night. At the end of the eleventh round Houston’s

seconds threw up the sponge and Referee Joe Innes declared Servalle the winner.

A fierce blow to the head of his opponent by Houston in the second round snapped the bone in the left forearm, but he kept on fighting. The injured limb could be used only to ward off the blows of his antagonist and Servalle thought Houston was “stalling,” not being aware that the bone had been broken.

The contest was quite a lively exhibition throughout, despite the handicap of one of the participants. The terms of the fight were winner take all.

City back on railroad map After being isolated for a week, due to snow and rock

slides and washouts, Bend is again on the railroad map.

The first train since the big storm that swept over the Northwest got in Sunday morning, this being the Oregon Trunk.

It brought mail and express that had accumulated for a week at Fallbridge as well as a number of passengers who had been waiting at Portland, The Dalles or Fallbridge.

The Deschutes line is still tied up and it is not yet known when trains can be operated over it. Between North Junction and The Dalles there were severe rock slides and the road was badly damaged.

An Oregon Department of Environmental Quality loan will pay for Madras to extend sewer coverage and pave the way for an area trailer park with a history of septic problems to sign on as well.

The $734,821 loan will extend the city’s sewer line, making coverage possible for residents along Lee Street and throughout the northwest Madras area.

It will also give Tops Trailer Park a cheaper route to access the city’s system.

Eric Nigg, the DEQ’s eastern regional water quality manager, said the park has been inspected by the state for years and has been ordered to quit its own on-site wastewater treatment system and sign onto the city’s.

Park challenging order The park’s owners, however, have been challenging that order in court, but Nigg said Friday he was unaware of the litigation’s status.

“I don’t know what the park’s position is, but we do see this as an opportunity for it to connect with the city of Madras,” Nigg said. “There is a standing order (by the DEQ) to connect Tops with the city’s system.”

Park owner Brigitte Morsman said she was unwilling to speak Friday and referred questions to her husband, who was unavailable.

Nigg said the park’s dry well septic system has been fined by DEQ in the past when untreated wastewater leaked into the road.

Nigg said the park’s septic system — like many others in the area — were common in Central Oregon until 1950s, but DEQ regulations now require that any home within 300 feet of a municipal sewer system sign up for the service.

Nigg said that even without leakage, the park’s marginally treated wastewater poses a health risk for other water users, even those outside the park’s proximity.

“It’s 20- to 25,000 gallons of wastewater going into the ground that is potentially being used as drinking water.”

Nigg said he is unaware of other residences with failing septic systems, but those properties with dry wells and lots that aren’t large enough for on-site septic systems can benefit from the extension.

Eastern Oregon’s most famous gold find is equally wrapped in mystery.

Yesterday Continued from B1 The Oregon Trunk train north-bound which was tied up at Metolius returned to Bend last Thursday night and went out Saturday morning, carrying a few passengers who had returned on it from Metolius and others who were brave enough to venture on a trip.

The road took good care of all its stranded passengers paying their hotel bills.

The snow which was piled high on the Oregon Trunk line was moved by rotary plow, but the troubles of the company did not end there. The melting snow and the rain that followed caused the streams to rise and damage the bridges. It became necessary for the Oregon Trunk to use the track of its rival from North Junction to Metolius.

The passengers who came in Sunday morning report a thrilling experience in crossing the bridge over the Deschutes at North Junction. All the train except the rear coach had got over, when part of the span gave way under the force of the water. The rear coach was derailed, the people in it thinking they were going to be plunged into the canyon.

The conductor, Mr. Russell, was cool headed and equal to the occasion and, with military tactics made the passengers march out of the car and back across the tottering structure.

After the coach was got back on the track they were allowed to get aboard and resume their journey.

The passengers drew up a set of resolutions commending the trainmen for their bravery.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 14, 1937

Customer drives to fire hall to ask for service Bend firemen, accustomed to making long runs these chilly days, got a real break this morning. A fire was brought to their department door and turned over to them for action.

The firemen were first aware that a roaring blaze had been brought to them when a member of the house crew looked out the front door and saw flames leaping high and merrily, just as a truck rolled up in front. The fire was H. Helzer’s garbage truck. Department members quickly started their auxiliary pumper and shot water on the blaze without moving the engine from position.

The garbage fire had been started by “cold ashes” unknowingly picked up by Helzer. Flammable material, piled on top, caught fire. Instead of turning in an alarm, Helzer decided to take his fire directly to the department.

Intolerance and weakness (Editorial) Again France has warned Germany, this time in regard to Nazi movement of troops into

Morocco, perilously close to the French zone of influence. The news will develop whether or not the warning will be heeded. In previous relations which have existed between France and Germany or, for the matter of that, between Great Britain and Germany, there is little to worry the Hitler government or to deter it from its latest step toward control of the Spanish situation and possible expansion of empire.

Germany is the spoiled child of the European family of nations. France and Britain are the would-be stern, actually timorous parents. After the war a treaty was signed. Germany accepted it under duress.

The terms were such as to be endurable only for so long as they had to be endured. As Germany gradually emerged from its war-inflicted paralysis, it proceeded, one by one to break these terms. Each time one was shattered, the powers gave warning. “Mama will spank,” scolded the parent; but mama doesn’t spank. It becomes a sort of game, to see just how far the child can go.

In the end, the child usually receives, in one session, the stored up spankings of years, often a most disastrous proceeding.

But sometimes the spanking has been deferred until the child has grown to a size and strength which makes the attempt rather perilous. If the attempt is made then, the disciplinary measure becomes, instead, a battle.

The Germany of immediate post-war days and the Germany of today are two different nations. Once Germany could have been spanked. Today the attempt would result in combat, for it is hardly to be supposed that Germany, having gone this far, will back down.

Intolerance in the making of rules, weakness in the enforcement of those rules is to blame for the critical situation which has now become apparent.

creatures they killed and on which they lived were found in the cavern.

In one lava niche was found some evidence that the gals of the cavern touched up their beauty with lipstick. Pigment was found on a lava “shelf.”

Indians also lived in Charcoal Cave near Bend. Back in that chamber they burned great piles of wood, some of which was cut with stone axes.

That cutting occurred before Columbus discovered America, as determined by the crossdating of annular rings of tree growth.

Indians also lived in Skeleton cave. The oldest proven habitation of man in Oregon was found in the Cow Cave of the Fort Rock country. That habitation was dated back some 9,000 years.

The fact that Indians used caves for ages might be taken to indicate they could be used again for habitations should nuclear bombs fall.

But Civil Defense authorities studying possible shelters should not class lava river tunnels in the same category as old mines.

The long, cold lava caverns “breathe.” During the winter months, the caves “inhale.”

That is, the cold air sinking, sweeps back into the tunnels.

Air not only finds its way into the caves from the mouths, which possibly could be sealed, but through numerous fissures.

There would be a serious danger that the “inhaled” air might carry lethal “fallout” back into the caves.

In summer months, caves possibly would be good emergency shelters. Air rushes out of the caverns in hot weather.

At the Wind Caves on a warm day, the moaning sound of escaping air can be heard a considerable distance.

Lava caves were fine in Indian days. Indians used bows and arrows. Now man has atom bombs. That makes a difference.

Deschutes caverns fine for shelter in old Indian days, but times change It would seem at first glance, that Nature has provided the Deschutes country with some ideal nuclear bomb shelters.

These are the lava caves.

They are receiving the attention of Civil Defense authorities and apparently will be studied as possible places of habitation in case of atomic attack.

But they should be given a good second look.

True, the lava river tunnels of the Bend country have served as shelters in the past. They were the abode of Indians.

One of the caverns used by the prehistoric hunters is the old Barlow Cave. There is evidence that Indians lived in that cave for centuries. They left their basketry there. Bones of

Exotic Joshua Tree clings to life in chilly climate Like a punk rocker in a crowd of Eddie Bauers, it stands with its spiky topknot among the classic evergreens.

Unabashedly exotic, but obviously uncomfortable in the cold, a 12-foot-high Joshua

tree stands on Awbrey Butte in Bend.

“It’s never looked like it was flourishing, even in the summer,” said Kimberly Plummer, who rents the house in whose back yard the tree grows. “A good Joshua tree will be really thick, with arms sticking out that look like they’re wearing furry sleeves.”

The Awbrey Butte tree’s arms are so firmly clenched to its sides that they’re indistinguishable as of yet. The trunk, that looks like it has curvature of the spine, is covered with frayed and faded barbs gathered tightly to it as if they were quills to ward of the cold.

Joshua trees are a type of yucca plant usually found in the southwestern United States. Plummer and the property’s owner Dean Fair, speculate that the tree’s slow growth and armless torso are due to its possible transplantation from the Mohave Desert.

But Dave Danley, Sunriver’s resident botanist, suggested that the tree is simply not old enough.

“Joshua trees have to be 60 to 80 years old before they branch,” Danley said.

No one knows how old the Awbrey Butte tree really is.

Dean Fair, a retired forester, says he’s ashamed to admit he doesn’t know something about a tree, but this particular one has him stumped.

“The tree was there about 15 years ago when we bought the house and was about 8 feet tall at the time,” he said. “Nobody knows who planted it and nobody knows for certain exactly what kind of tree it really is.”

Joshua trees do not have an internal structure that would allow a scientist to determine the tree’s age by a core sample.

The yucca family are monocots, Danley explained — they simply add fiber instead of forming annual rings.

Serrated edges on the tree’s inflexible leaves present a tough aspect, despite an occasional burst of white blooms in the spring.

“The barbs on that tree are deadly,” Plummer said. “I’ve gardened round it, and to back into it is bad news.”

Defiant and odd-looking as the Joshua tree is, Fair wouldn’t think of cutting it down.

“I don’t like to cut any tree down,” the retired forester said.

“I’ll leave it grow …

“It’s not a whole lot of shade, but it’s a good old tree anyway.”

X A L E R SERVICE

Continued from B1 On Friday, the president announced he wants to consolidate six government agencies, including the Commerce Department, and asked Congress to grant him the authority to reorganize and make the executive branch more efficient.

According to the White House, the affected agencies would be Commerce’s core business and trade functions: the Small Business Administration, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Export-Import Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corp. and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency.

Obama also proposed moving the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from the Commerce Department to the Interior Department.

If Congress grants Obama the requested authority, both chambers would hold a straight up-ordown vote on the proposed changes within 90 days.

Congress last gave the authority to reorganize to President Ronald Reagan in 1984.

As with the payroll tax issue at the end of last year, the president is trying to coopt an issue — in this case, smaller government — that has traditionally been a Republican-backed concept.

This puts Republicans in the difficult position of either letting the president do what he wants or opposing one of their own talking points.

While Lucas was intrigued by the prospect of digging up his backyard in search of gold, the idea of a bucket filled with gold just sitting out in the open waiting to be found was too much for his sister to believe.

Claire Buresh, 8, rolled her eyes and scoffed: “Yeah, right.”

Lucas said he expects anyone lucky enough to stumble across the lost blue bucket will be disappointed.

leaner and smarter and more consumer-friendly. And from the moment I got here, I saw up close what many of you know to be true: The government we have is not the government that we need,” Obama said Friday as he announced the plan.

“We live in a 21st-century economy, but we’ve still got a government organized for the 20th century. Our economy has fundamentally changed — as has the world — but our government, our agencies, have not. The needs of our citizens have fundamentally changed, but their government has not.

Instead, it’s often grown more complicated and sometimes more confusing.”

It’s also worth noting that since this is a presidential election year, it is likely to be largely subdued in terms of legislation that moves through both chambers. Neither Democrats nor Republicans want to pass — or attempt to pass — bills that would give the opposing party’s candidate fodder that might help him win the White House.

O N Prison loses rifle, skips checks

PremierWest Bank closing 11 branches, 5 in Oregon McClatchy-Tribune News Service MEDFORD — PremierWest Bank announced Friday it will close 11 branches by the end of April, producing an annual savings of $1.9 million.

The Medford-based bank said it decided to reduce its branches by 25 percent following an extensive analysis.

Chief Marketing Officer Ken Wells said the cutbacks will leave PremierWest with 33 offices. The 11 branches — five in Oregon and six in California — scheduled for closure represent less than 10 percent of its deposits.

PremierWest Bank President Jim Ford said Friday the company isn’t sure how many employees might lose jobs during the consolidation.

“We don’t know that number yet,” Ford said.

“Clearly we will do everything we can to ensure that all employees have positions with the bank through this process.”

The move comes after years of struggle for the bank following the real estate bubble collapse and resulting commercial development failures.

“This is an extremely difficult decision because it affects our employees and in some cases communities already hard-hit by the extended period of economic weakness,” Ford said.

“We certainly will continue, as we always have, to put people first and act with compassion toward our employees and the affected communities.”

PremierWest will shutter Oregon branches in Drain, Glide, Shady Cove, the Running Y resort near Klamath Falls, and Medford, the office nearest its corporate headquarters. In California, Dunsmuir, Dorris, Tulelake, Weed, McCloud and Bechelli Lane-Redding branches will close.

PremierWest operates branches in Bend and Redmond.

The Associated Press PORTLAND — A stateowned rifle has disappeared from an Oregon prison and may have been missing for months as corrections officials skipped three required monthly inventories.

The .223-caliber Ruger Mini-14 was last checked out from Coffee Creek Correctional Facility for training on July 18. Department of Cor-

rections spokeswoman Jennifer Black told The Oregonian newspaper that incomplete paperwork suggests it may have been checked back in to the Wilsonville prison, but officials believe it wasn’t.

Required inventories were not conducted in August, September or October, and the rifle’s disappearance wasn’t discovered until an inventory done Nov. 11.

Interpreter Marcel Loriz talks to Miriam Moran before relaying information to nurse practitioner Kathy Ketelson, center, at the In-Reach Clinic in Albany in 2010. After more than 2,000 hours of service at the clinic, Loriz has decided to retire.

At 82, clinic’s translator relays his last message

By Jennifer Moody (Albany) Democrat-Herald

ALBANY — Most Thursdays for seven years, Marcel Loriz came to Albany’s InReach Clinic and talked with Spanish-speaking patients there.

The idea was to translate their symptoms to the doctor and the doctor’s instructions back to them. But just as often, the Brownsville man and the patients would end up chatting about Loriz’s own background.

The patients wanted to know how this octogenarian “gringo” (Loriz’s word) spoke Spanish like he’d been born to it.

Well, he had, said Loriz, 82.

His parents immigrated to the United States from Spain to find work in the coal mines of West Virginia.

Picking up the dictionary Loriz and his five brothers and sisters all spoke Spanish long before they learned English. Mexican Spanish differs only slightly from what Loriz grew up speaking — “It’s like a flavor,” he said — and it took only a dictionary and some extra studying for Loriz, a civil engineer by trade, to learn medical terms for translation.

Now, however, after more than 2,000 hours of service,

Loriz has decided to retire.

He and the volunteers at the InReach Clinic are hoping someone else will take on that challenge.

The clinic has offered medical care since 1993, dental care for the past two years and mental health care for the past year.

It helps relieve the pressure on emergency rooms and urgent care clinics, said clinic coordinator Miao Zhao. Loriz also volunteered at the dental clinic.

Some 30 percent of the people treated speak Spanish, Zhao said, so the need for translators is great.

A medical background is encouraged, but it is not a necessity, Zhao said. More important is that prospective volunteers come regularly for at least six to 12 months and be dependable, because there will be plenty of other medical volunteers relying on them for help.

If they can put in the time, volunteers will find the work rewarding, Loriz said. Often, simply through striking up a conversation, he was able to find out critical medical information the doctors themselves hadn’t learned.

Once, he remembered, a mother came in seeking treatment for her daughter. After

speaking with Loriz, she was able to be treated for her own diabetes.

Loriz also made it a point to tell all the children to stay in school and learn English.

“I told them how important education is,” he said.

The Army, then college Loriz himself was educated in the United States. His parents had planned to return to Spain after finding economic footing in the U.S., but when they traveled to New York to get on a ship for home, Spain was in the midst of civil war.

So the family stayed in New York, where Loriz eventually graduated from Stuyvesant High School, an academic name prestigious enough to land him a job as a high-speed radio operator when he joined the Army in 1948. He went to college on the GI Bill, married and had three children, lived near a son in Ohio for many years, then moved to Brownsville to be near his daughter.

He learned about the InReach Clinic through a tennis partner whose wife was a nurse.

It was a pleasure, he said, to volunteer. But now, it’s time for someone else to take up the task.

2 states to reduce legal sturgeon catch PORTLAND — Facing a steep decline in numbers, Oregon and Washington have agreed to further reduce the allowed sturgeon catch this year.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said this year’s agreement will reduce the sturgeon harvest in the lower Columbia River by 38 percent, following a 30 percent reduction in 2011 and a 40 percent reduction in 2010.

According to surveys by both states, the abundance of legal-size sturgeon has declined nearly 50 percent since 2007. Increased hunting from sea lions and a drop in smelt and lamprey numbers, which make up the sturgeon’s diet, have been cited as reasons for the drop in the population.

Under the new agreement, the total allowable harvest of white sturgeon below Bonneville Dam will be reduced from 22.5 percent of the legalsize fish to 16 percent in 2012.

Tattoo artist helps out cat shelter SPRINGFIELD — Dozens of people in Springfield lined up to get tattoos in an unusual fundraiser for a local animal shelter.

Dubbed “Tats for Cats,” local tattoo artist Joshua South of Area 51 Tattoos offered to do $13 tattoos for 13 hours on Friday, which was the 13th day of the month.

KVAL reported that there were nearly 140 people on the

waiting list for a tattoo by midday Friday. South had already inked about 30 tattoos by then.

South says one of his employees approached him with the idea as a way to raise money for the Greenhill Humane Society.

The tattoos offered during the fundraising promotion were small, about the size of a quarter or 50-cent piece.

T W China destination takes a cue from Boaters help save motorists in sinking van Wyoming resorts NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF.

By Mike Reicher and Joseph Serna Los Angeles Times

By Johanna Love Jackson Hole News & Guide

JACKSON, Wyo. — None of the Chinese developers who built the vacation resort named Jackson Hole, in Hebei province, had ever been to Wyoming.

Beijing Resplendency Great Exploit Real Estate Co. LTD hired Portland interior designer Allison Smith about eight years ago to create a large tract of second homes, but the developers didn’t have a concept, she said.

“They had a couple of oddly designed homes that were trying to be Americanized,” Smith said, “but they were really off the mark. They asked me what my opinion was, and I was very diplomatic, but I said some things need to be changed.”

Smith and the developers lined up at the drawing board, where she spent a week listing some successful, popular resort communities in the United States and sketching out the feel of each one: Martha’s Vineyard, Vail, Jackson Hole.

“They absolutely fell in love with the idea of anything cowboy and Indian,” Smith said. “It just took off.”

The developers bought stock Western home plans from an architect in Oregon.

Smith created an identity for each themed house within the 850-home development: Billy the Kid, Geronimo, Stagecoach Station, Betsy, etc.

Although Smith, 51, hadn’t been to Jackson Hole since she was a child, she understood the American West, its pioneer towns and its homage to rustic decor. She went

shopping in Oregon, following her vision. She gathered cowhide, antler chandeliers, saddle blankets, lodgepole chairs, wagon wheels, Navajo rugs, iron light fixtures, wildlife scene fireplace screens, wooden snowshoes, leather throw pillows, horseshoes and plaid curtains, shipping them all to China. She drew pictures of things she couldn’t find, and the Chinese figured out how to make them.

“It was amazing how beautiful it all turned out,” Smith said. “The developer had never visited America.”

The first model for the Jackson Hole resort was plopped in a city park in Beijing, and people went wild.

“That model became a gossip center for the Chinese,” Smith said. “They were addicted to the idea. Nothing like this existed in China.”

Prospective buyers took the two-hour bus rides north of Beijing to see the site before signing contracts.

Once the project took off, the Chinese developers were able to secure visas to visit the real Jackson Hole, Smith said, and “had the time of their lives” visiting the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar and Yellowstone National Park.

The homes in Jackson Hole, China, have sold out and nearly tripled in value since being built, Smith said.

The Chinese seem to equate the American West with freedom, she said. “We as a culture have romanticized our American history. In the movies, John Wayne … there’s a sense of emancipation. You’re free to be your own man, your own thinker.”

LOS ANGELES — The tide was just high enough for Skip Staats to take his wooden dinghy up to the seawall, where he likes to sit and sip coffee in the morning sun.

Had it been any more shallow he might not have been on the scene to help save a family of four whose van plunged off the Balboa Island ferry and into Newport Harbor off California early Friday.

Staats, 46, is credited with rescuing two children and their father from the sinking minivan, which was shoved into the water when it was rammed from behind by a Mercedes-Benz.

A passing fisherman pulled the mother to safety.

“They were just sitting there, shocked,” said Staats, describing the scene inside the van, which was still bobbing with its windows above the water when he motored up.

As he approached the rear driver’s side, he saw a girl still strapped into a child safety seat. “Get the girl,” the child’s father told him calmly from the front seat.

The parents, with a 4-yearold boy and a 6-year-old girl, were on vacation from Taiwan, according to Newport Beach Fire Department spokeswoman Jennifer Schulz.

“I thought, ‘Oh, my God, I hope she’s easy to unbuckle,’” said Staats, a surfer and sailor.

He said he was able to lift her into his tiny boat and then pulled the boy from his seat and helped the father crawl out of the driver’s window.

The mother, meanwhile, had climbed over to the driver’s side, and James Donoghue, 47, who had taken the day off

Salvage crews work to bring a Dodge minivan to the surface of the harbor off Newport Beach, Calif., on Friday. The vehicle, with passengers inside, was accidentally pushed off the end of a ferry. Good Samaritans rescued a family of tourists, and no injuries were reported.

“(The van) floated just long enough to get them out. They didn’t even get wet.”

— Skip Staats, surfer and sailor

to go shark fishing in his new boat, was able to pull her into his skiff.

Donoghue asked if she was OK. “She said yes,” he said, “and then she looked me square in the eye and said, ‘But that was a rental car.’”

Less than a minute later, the van sank.

“It floated just long enough to get them out,” Staats said.

“They didn’t even get wet.”

The family, who came through the ordeal without injury, was driven by police to a rental car agency and continued their Southern California vacation. The parents declined interview requests.

Police said they received a call about 9 a.m. that someone had rear-ended a car on the ferry and pushed it into the water.

According to authorities and eyewitnesses, the driver of the Mercedes said she tried to hit her brake but that her car accelerated.

The Mercedes hit the minivan with enough force to propel it into the water and shove it about 30 feet from the ferry dock.

The Mercedes was left teetering from the front of the

ferry but was later pulled back. The minivan floated upright for a few minutes before it nosed down and sank, witnesses said.

Ferry workers threw life vests to the family, and one jumped into the water, swam to the van and helped guide the family out.

If police find any safety deficiencies, ferry owner Seymour Beek said, he will re-evaluate the procedures. Beek, who appeared shaken but relieved, came to the scene after the accident.

He could remember two other times that cars had toppled into the water. Both were in the 1980s, he said, and no one was hurt either time.

“I just remembered,” he said later. “It’s Friday the 13th.”

Where Buyers And Sellers Meet

Richard Threlkeld was acclaimed broadcast journalist for CBS, ABC

By Dennis Hevesi New York Times News Service

Richard Threlkeld, who in his 33 years as a correspondent for CBS and ABC News covered wars, presidential campaigns, assassinations and the collapse of the Soviet Union, died Friday morning in a car accident on Long Island. He was 74.

Threlkeld’s car collided with a propane tanker on a highway in Amagansett, N.Y., Threlkeld said the police in East Hampton, where he lived.

Threlkeld was alone in his car, the police said, and the driver of the truck was not injured. “Richard Threlkeld had the kind of name and kind of looks that could have made him a reporter in the movies, but unlike a reporter in the movies, he could write his own scripts,�

Lesley Stahl, with whom he was co-anchor of “CBS Morning News� from 1977 to 1979, said in a statement. “In fact, he was one of our best writers and reporters.�

Threlkeld did two stints at CBS — from 1965 to 1982, and again from 1989 to 1998 — and the intervening seven years at ABC. Over those three decades, he covered seven presidential campaigns, the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, the U.S. invasions of Panama and Grenada, the Patricia Hearst kidnapping and trial, the war in Lebanon and the Middle East peace process.

On April 29, 1975, after covering the Vietnam War, Threlkeld was aboard one of the last helicopters to lift off from the U.S. embassy as Saigon fell to the Communists.

He was in Beijing during the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in 1989 and in Moscow as the Soviet Union crumbled in the 1990s. From that experience, he wrote a book, “Dispatches from the Former Evil Empire� (2001).

Threlkeld was among the first correspondents doing features for CBS’ “Sunday Morning,� which first went on the air in 1979.

Three years later, Roone Arledge, then the chairman of ABC News, hired

FEATURED OBITUARY him as a correspondent for “World News Tonight.� There he began doing a regular feature, “Status Reports,� offering analysis of the week’s most important story. For seven of those reports, in 1982 and ’83, he received the prestigious Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton. In 1984, he won an Overseas Press Club award for his reporting on Lebanon and Grenada.

Born Nov. 30, 1937, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and reared in Barrington, Ill., Threlkeld graduated from Ripon College in Wisconsin in 1960 with a degree in political science and history. A year later he received a master’s degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern Univer-

sity. Before joining CBS, he worked at WMT-TV in Cedar Rapids, and WHAS-TV in Louisville, Ky. He is survived by his wife of 28 years, Betsy Aaron, a former CBS, ABC, NBC and CNN correspondent; a brother, Robert; two children, Susan Paulukonis and Julia Threlkeld; and two grandchildren.

When Threlkeld left CBS to join ABC, Charles Kuralt, the anchor of “Sunday Morning,� told The New York Times: “We didn’t want Richard Threlkeld to leave without saying that we think he has given us something more than 108 good stories. He has given us a demonstration that the news on television does not have to be cramped and constricted. It can be expansive and exalting if you make a little time on the air and then ask a good man to fill it.�

Joline Wray Guinn JULY 12,1930 - JANUARY 5, 2012

Joline W. Guinn, 81, passed away on a sunny day, January 5th, 2012, at High Desert Assisted Living in Bend, OR. She was born Joline Wray Clark, on July 12,1930, to parents Gordon and Zella Madden Clark.

She began her life in Portland, OR where she attended Elementary and Jr. High. Joline was fond of her baton and was an accomplished majorette. In 1944, she moved, albeit defiantly, to Fossil, OR; a place where she had enjoyed summer vacations on the ranch with her grandmother, Nita Edwards. Joline soon adapted to small town life and participated in volleyball, softball, and cheerleading at Wheeler County High School, where she graduated in 1948.

She married a local boy, D. Alan Guinn in 1949. They purchased a little house on Main Street, and were soon the proud parents of three little “Guinn Girls�. Alan became employed by Kinzua Corporation, ten miles away, so they packed up in 1954 and moved into a company-owned home, perched on a ponderosa covered hillside, overlooking a grand lumber mill, a log pond, a fascinating general store, a gas station, a tavern, and a tiny post office. Joline bought her first television set, and dinner wasn’t served until after Walter Cronkite read the evening news.

Family life was centered around the home that Joline made. She was a dutiful, loving mother and wife. She wanted her children to know and understand a world that was beyond the knotty-pine walls of home. When she ordered a complete set of the World Book Encyclopedia on the installment plan, her girls couldn’t believe their good fortune. When National Geographic arrived every month, it was Joline’s way of exposing little eyes to big nature and colorful cultures. In addition to caring for her family, Joline was active in PTA, was Home Service Chairman for the American Red Cross, President of the American Legion Auxiliary, and was a member of the local six-hole pasture golf course, The “Kinzua Country Club�.

In 1966, the fourth “Guinn Girl� Shannon, was born, followed by a job transfer to Omak, WA in 1967. That move was followed by another to Coeur d’Alene, ID in 1970, and yet another to Lake Oswego, OR in 1972 and back to Coeur d’Alene a few years later. Joline divorced and settled alone in Portland, OR in 1980. She was employed by Tektronix, in various executive secretary positions until her retirement, in August 1997.

Survivors include her daughters, Alana Guinn of Ellensburg, WA, Kelle Guinn Jones and son-in-law, Gregg Jones of Bend,OR and Shannon Guinn of Portland, OR; her sister, Sharon Bell, and brother-inlaw, Bill Bell of Charbonneau, OR; seven grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

Joline was preceded in death by her second daughter, Shellie Guinn Santella; her mother, Zella Prindle; and her step-father, Milo Prindle.

Memorial contributions may be made to Partners In Care, 2075 NE Wyatt Ct., Bend OR 97701. www.partnersbend.org, or one of personal choice.

On May 26, 2012, the family invites you to join them at their annual “Picnic on the Graves�, located at the Condon Cemetary, to celebrate the life of Joline, and five generations of her ancestors. Please contact kellegjones@gmail.com for details.

Washington deputy seeks $1 million after son’s shooting death Th e Associated Press VANCOUVER, Wash. — A former sheriff’s deputy who was fired after he was found to have violated policies related to the accidental shooting death of his 3-year-old son has filed a claim against Clark County.

Former Detective Ed Owens’ son Ryan shot himself Sept. 14, 2010, while playing with his father’s gun at their Battle Ground home.

Owens faults a malfunctioning gun safe for allowing his son access to the weapon, The Columbian newspaper reported. He said he didn’t know the safe was defective.

“It should have never fallen into my son’s hands, ever,” Owens told KATU-TV in Portland.

Owens was fired in November. He is seeking $1 million and reinstatement to his position.

The sheriff’s office responded to Owens’ initial allegations by saying he should have known the safe was malfunctioning and had it fixed.

An internal affairs report indicated Owens blamed his 11-year-old stepdaughter and coerced her into saying she was responsible because she had fallen asleep while watching the boy.

Investigators found that Owens violated six department policies, most of them relating to his behavior with the stepdaughter.

Chief Civil Deputy Prosecutor Bronson Potter told The Columbian he had not yet seen the claim and could not comment. He could not be reached Friday by The Associated Press.

The claim states the sheriff’s office began investigating Owens and his wife in retaliation for his pleas to test gun safes used by deputies and to “intimidate and discredit him.”

The claim includes a reference to a YouTube video showing how easy it is to break into

THE YEAR OF THE

WATER DRAGON

By David Jasper The Bulletin

Best-selling author Dr. Andrew Weil — yes, the bearded man with the Colgate smile who has twice adorned the cover of Time magazine — is known for his efforts on behalf of integrative medicine, a holistic approach using both conventional medicine and scientifically sound alternative approaches in treatments.

Now, the Harvard-educated Weil, 69, sets his sights on improving our emotional well-being and dispenses advice in his new book, “Spontaneous Happiness,” published in November.

Kirkus Reviews calls it a “comprehensive road map for the prized path to true happiness” and “immensely beneficial information for those seeking a self-galvanized life lift.”

On Monday, Weil will visit Bend High School for a lecture and program also called “Spontaneous Happiness.” The event is being presented

by Bend Pine Nursery and will also feature Jim Lussier, former CEO of St. Charles Health System, speaking on the topic of health care leadership, and a presentation by tai chi master David Leung (see “If you go”).

In his book, Weil discusses his own experiences with depression in his 20s, 30s and early 40s.

He told The Bulletin in a phone interview last week about some of the ways he combatted it.

“Regular physical activity, changing my diet, taking supplemental fish oil and vitamin D, practicing meditation, limiting information overload” all had a cumulative positive effect on him, he says.

A dragon performs a Chinese New Year’s dance at the Yaohan shopping center in Richmond, the Canadian city and Chinese community near Vancouver. Astrologers predict a year of prosperity and creativity in 2012, the Year of the Water Dragon.

and water — also rotates through the calendar, so that only once every 60 years, for instance, would a water dragon turn up.

In 2012, we have arrived in the Year of the Water Dragon. Astrologists forecast a banner occasion.

Shopping mall parties The Chinese traditionally believe the advent of the lunar new year is a time of renewal, a time to sweep away the misfortune of the previous 12 months and get a fresh start. I certainly saw that outlook reflected in the celebrations in Richmond.

With large immigrant populations from Taiwan, Hong Kong and, more recently, mainland China, Richmond is virtually an Asian transplant.

Throughout the central city area, known as “The Golden Village,” Chinese script is more prevalent than English.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

A & A

Retiree gets no respect from his working wife Dear Abby: I retired two years ago at age 50 after working for 30 years. My wife and I are financially secure, and I’m enjoying every day of my retirement. However, my wife — who is younger — won’t be eligible to retire from her job for another five years. She is becoming more and more abrasive toward me. I suspect it’s because she’s jealous of my retirement status.

She constantly accuses me of being lazy. Abby, I don’t sit around all day. In addition to yardwork, house upkeep and car repair and maintenance, I do grocery shopping, laundry, dishes and general cleanup, and I take care of our pets. Despite all this, my wife still bemoans my sleeping late in the morning (9 a.m.) and not going to a regular job.

I’m still young enough to get another job. Should I go back to work until she retires? — Should Be Happy in Tampa Dear Should Be Happy: That’s not a bad idea, but don’t start looking until your wife has told you plainly why she has become “abrasive.� Wouldn’t it be interesting if all she wanted was for you to have a cup of coffee with her in the morning? It would be a shame if you went back to work only to realize that something else was causing her change in attitude. You deserve to know what’s going on because you do not appear to be lazy — quite the contrary.

Dear Abby: I sneeze a lot at work. I don’t know if it’s the dust or what. When I do, someone always says “bless you.�

I don’t care to be blessed, but I think people would be insulted if I told them it isn’t necessary.

Should I tell them not to? — Already Blessed in Iowa Dear Already Blessed: If you prefer that nobody say “bless you,� you should say so. But do it BEFORE your next sneezing attack so your co-workers will be forewarned. I’m sure they’ll abide by your wishes — unless they just say it out of habit. And then it’s a knee-jerk reaction, not a blessing.

DEAR A B B Y Dear Abby: I’m an adult woman, working full time for my parents as their store manager.

I do a lot of office work for my dad, who hates computer work.

He has an eBay business on the side, which I manage for him.

My problem is, eBay shows me what Dad has shopped for every time I log on. Some of the items are of an intimate nature. I’m glad my parents have a healthy marriage, but it’s WAY too much information for me. As a family, we don’t communicate well, so I don’t know how to handle this. My husband had no suggestions, so I turn to you. — Really Don’t Want to Know Dear Really Don’t: Send your father an email telling him that some of the items he is buying online are not things a daughter should be seeing. Attach your letter to me. That should do the trick.

Dear Abby: My grandmother recently bought me a plane ticket to go visit her. In the airport on the way back home, the flight was overbooked, and I agreed to be bumped to another flight in exchange for a free ticket to be used or given to someone else within a year.

My mother says the free ticket belongs to my grandmother because she paid for it. I say I should use it for myself because it is compensation for the lost time and trouble of switching flights. What do you think? — Minnesota Traveler Dear Traveler: Your mother has a point. Offer the ticket to your grandmother. If you’re lucky, she’ll tell you to keep it and enjoy it. If she doesn’t, at least you’ll know you did the right thing. (When you give in the true spirit of giving, it will come back to you — or so it implies in Ecclesiastes.) — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012

By Jacqueline Bigar This year you could be more keyed in to your career and public image.

Others often don’t understand your motives, as you keep a lot close to the chest. It is clear you have unusual leadership qualities. If you are single, a relationship could form out of a misunderstanding. You will need to juggle a lot of demands if you are attached. If you involve your significant other in some of your outside commitments, your bond will warm up. LIBRA understands much more than you think.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH As a proactive sign, you often assume the lead. Stop for the day. Let others make the first move.

At the same time, by allowing them to be more dominant, you learn more about the individual in question.

If you’re confused by someone’s message, ask questions. Tonight: Continue today’s theme.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might have had a project on the back burner. Now is the time to pull it out and get going.

You might be surprised by how much you complete. Don’t let a misunderstanding become anything more. All quarreling is about creating distance. Tonight: Time to relax.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your creativity opens up.

Should a disagreement occur, pull out of the immediate, give up being right or wrong, and let go. You don’t want to make more of this sniveling than need be. Tap into your creativity for answers. Tonight: Let your hair down.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Stay close to home and honor how you feel. Don’t let a talk take on connotations that really aren’t there.

Involve yourself in a favorite activity or two. Listen to feedback. Tonight: Anchor in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Initialize talks rather than speculate. Honestly understand where others are coming from.

Don’t be surprised if there is a misunderstanding between you and another person. Don’t jump the gun trying to resolve a problem. Tonight: Happily hanging out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be slightly overwhelmed by everything happening in your immediate circle. There is no reason to put up with a disagreeable situation. However, others could be surprised by your sudden reaction.

Your creativity blooms if you let go and relax. Tonight: Live for the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You have it in your power to put the kibosh on any problem that comes your way. Once you straighten out a misunderstanding, everything flows as you would like it to. Wherever you go, the people you run into sincerely enjoy your company.

Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Taking a day just for yourself isn’t a sin. Everyone needs his or her private time. A misunderstanding isn’t all that serious. You might be making mountains out of molehills. Think positively, and look toward resolution.

Tonight: Do your thing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Friends surround you.

There is no reason for you to be upset or angry. Just talk through a misunderstanding. Why ruin a close to spectacular day? The only thing that is mandatory is not to isolate yourself.

When the fun starts, it will be difficult to end. Tonight: Going to the wee hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You might not be aware of how others admire you. The way you handle a confusing if not difficult matter demonstrates your innate instincts. Bring family together for a fun game or movie. Tonight: Enjoying the people you are with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Listen to the whisperings around you. Your ability to get past an insecurity emerges. Be willing to let go of the trivial issues and enjoy the moment. Someone at a distance shares good feelings. Tonight: Choose a new spot for dinner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A partner chooses to be much closer and more open after you ride through a misunderstanding.

Recognize that neither of you are wrong and you simply have different ways of thinking. Benefit from rather than criticize the differences. Tonight: Go with a loved one’s choice. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

LEFT: It’s not Monopoly money, but bills dispensed at Chinese New Year are not real cash.

“The Chinese are all about money and good fortune and prosperity,” said ChineseCanadian writer Mijune Pak.

Lion dancers perform on stage at Richmond’s Aberdeen Centre as part of Chinese New Year’s Eve festivities. They gather near an inflatable god who promises good fortune and prosperity in the year ahead.

Hundreds of Chinese celebrate the Chinese New Year inside the Aberdeen Centre in Richmond, British Columbia. The shopping center, home to an Asian media conglomerate, annually hosts big holiday festivities.

New Year Continued from C1 The large shopping centers sell food, clothing and luxury items geared specifically to Asian buyers. They become community-gathering places where important events, especially including the annual Chinese New Year, are celebrated.

The face of popular Buddhism is often very different than the spiritual facet. In a temple, you won’t find lion dancers nor the bearded God of Fortune. But you will certainly find them in Richmond shopping malls.

As my Chinese-Canadian friend Mijune Pak says, tongue only slightly in cheek: “The Chinese are all about money and good fortune and prosperity. Those are the important things in our culture.”

At Aberdeen Centre, the largest and most modern Richmond shopping center (named after a district of Hong Kong), the holiday spirit took over in late January with its Flower & Gift Fair. Area nurseries offered delicate orchids and colorful citrus plants, while tiny rabbits of gold and banners of red were everywhere. Indeed, as the primary color of good fortune, red was everywhere, especially in red gift envelopes filled with money.

The Fairchild Media Group, a Cantonese- and Mandarinlanguage broadcasting conglomerate that also owns Aberdeen Centre, presented the New Year’s Eve entertainment.

Well-attended performances of music, dance and comedy led up to a midnight drop of ticker tape. A highlight was an acrobatic show of lion dancing by a martial arts troupe.

But a New Year’s Day presentation at nearby Yaohan Centre, attended by Richmond’s mayor, city councilors and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, was equally impressive. Here, the dignitaries painted the eyes on dragon masks before they began to

dance. A long string of firecrackers exploded in sparks and smoke under the watchful eye of the handsomely attired God of Fortune himself.

“The noise and music scare off evil spirits,” explained Taiwan-born Richmond resident Stacey Chyau. “The animals, whether they are lions, tigers or dragons, are fierce. They also keep the spirits away.”

Chyau said her family burns paper money so that ancestors can share in their prosperity.

“Sometimes we burn paper houses and Mercedes Benzes,” she said. “This is the only way for our ancestors to receive prosperity on ‘the other side.’”

Visiting the temple For many Chinese immigrants and tradition-bound Chinese families, it is essential practice to pay a visit to the neighborhood temple on the occasion of the lunar new year.

I observed the occasion in Steveston, a Richmond suburb, at the International Buddhist Temple — the second-largest Buddhist temple in North America. If I said my prayers properly, I parted company with the evil spirits and bad luck of the past year and opened myself to all the blessings of a new year.

At the side of the spacious parking lot that flanks the multibuilding temple complex, newly arrived temple-goers bought sheaves of incense sticks from a row of vendors.

I followed them as they lit the entire bundles in nearby oil burners and then carried them through a gateway.

Past a classical garden pond with a beautifully illuminated pagoda, I watched worshippers make their initial offering to an alabaster-white “laughing Buddha” icon. A few steps further, more incense was presented to a tier of bronze sculptures representing a Chinese Buddhist pantheon. I recognized Guan Gong, who assures safety, and Bao Qing Tien, the master of justice.

The walkway entered a portal to the main temple grounds.

A gong sounded my arrival. A wall of murals, to my right, wrapped around a 360-degree statue of GuanYin, presented as a thousand-armed goddess of mercy.

The broad courtyard bustled with activity. Whirring, handheld fans in the good-luck colors of red and gold were being sold to my left. In front of small icons in all directions, visitors were offering incense and flowers.

At the heart of the courtyard, two dozen steps climbed to the main worship hall. An enormous image of the seated Gautama Buddha, covered in gold leaf and flanked by attendants, dominated its center. Pyramids of fruit — oranges, persimmons, pomelos, all round to symbolize the perpetuation of life — were piled in front. Towers of tiny Buddha images rose on all sides.

At about 11:30 p.m., temple monks knelt on cushions before the main image and began chanting. Their rhythmic song continued until midnight. Several dozen temple visitors joined in, stumbling over the words to the sutras but never losing the spirit of the occasion.

Chinese religion is an interesting blend of beliefs. Those raised in the Christian tradition often consider it blasphemy to embrace other faiths.

But in the Chinese system, the pursuit of one path does not preclude others. Many of those I spoke to acknowledged Taoism and Confucianism as well as Buddhism, even while practicing basic ancestor worship.

The following morning, I ventured to another, very different Buddhist temple. The Thrangu Monastery, built just five years ago in Richmond, was the first traditional Tibetan monastery built in Canada.

Few worshippers were in this magnificent temple when I visited, but I was cowed by the 40-foot Buddha that rose over my head, surrounded by more than 1,000 small Bud-

dha images.

Later the same day, the best Chinese chef in Canada served me what may have been the finest Chinese meal I’ve had in my life.

A New Year’s feast At the Jade Seafood Restaurant in Richmond, chef Tony Luk, named Canada’s most skilled chef of 2011 by the Chinese Restaurant Association, pulled out all the stops.

Pak, a Vancouver-area food blogger (www.followme foodie.com) who is fluent in the Cantonese language, did the ordering. We wound up with a creative yet traditional seven-course dinner plus a dessert sampler.

The meal was not cheap.

Paying $25 for a single abalone is not normally on my budget. But this was a meal that I will long remember.

We started with seafood soup served in a hollowedout, miniature pumpkin. It’s a worthy alternative to the more customary shark’s fin soup. “I won’t eat shark’s fin,” Pak said.

“Sharks are getting fished out of Chinese waters.” This excellent soup instead had shrimp, scallops and whitefish.

The second course was a seasonal delicacy: braised whole fresh Australian abalone with leafy pea shoots.

Abalone is a meaty and somewhat rubbery shellfish with a distinctive flavor. But it is always served on the lunar new year because its circular shape is said (by the superstitious) to represent money and, thus, prosperity. I had two.

Before a course of “live” rock cod was served, our

Food blogger Mijune Pak photographs a savory plate of dried oysters and mushrooms wrapped in tofu dumplings.

A seven-course New Year’s feast also featured abalone, considered a delicacy.

server presented the reddishscaled fish straight from the tank and asked if we approved as it flopped around in a plastic container. Of course, we said yes. Minutes later, it laid on a large platter covered with sliced scallions and a sweet, vinegary sauce. Competition for the white eyeballs was not severe.

Next came Grandpa’s smoked chicken, chopped and served cold with ginger and onions. Although this recipe has won chef Luk several awards, it was one of my least favorite dishes.

A baked and grilled beef

brisket, cloaked in a brownish-gray mushroom gravy and served with green beans, did not look appetizing, but it was one of the best plates of the night. The meat was the consistency of melt-in-your-mouth short ribs, and the flavor was superb.

A course of dried oysters and mushrooms, wrapped in tofu dumplings, was savory and delicious.

Our final hot course was a mixed-mushroom chow mein, tossed with shiitake, oyster and black trumpet mushrooms.

For dessert, we tried several of the restaurant’s sweets. We had a hot almond soup with egg whites and a warm redbean soup with lotus seeds.

Swirled mochi (rice) cake was a traditional recipe, and coconut cake was baked with preserved and salted egg yolk. But our favorite was a light mango pudding that put the perfect accent on an excellent meal.

Celebration destinations Here’s where to celebrate the Chinese New Year: For six days, beginning Wednesday and concluding Jan. 23, Steveston’s International Buddhist Temple will host a daily bazaar from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., continuing past midnight on New Year’s Eve, when visitors are invited to join the chanted group prayer.

The party begins Thursday at Aberdeen Centre in downtown Richmond with the annual Chinese New Year Flower and

Before your big vacation, find savings at these sites

By Michelle Higgins New York Times News Service

Higher hotel prices, airline capacity cuts and rising travel demand mean travelers will have to work harder to find a good deal in 2012. But there are plenty of online tools to help keep your vacation expenses in check. Here are some go-to websites to help you save money this year.

Flights Looking for sales on a specific route, or just wanting to go somewhere cheap?

AirfareWatchdog.com hunts down deals computers tend to miss, like promo codes that airlines include in email newsletters. It also finds sales from Allegiant and Southwest, which typically aren’t listed on major airfare search engines. You can sign up for specific fare alerts or a list of all the cheap round-trip fares from your local airport.

Where can you go for $500 or less? Kayak.com/explore will show you where you can vacation for a particular price and display the results on a map.

You can narrow your search by month, region, flight length, weather or activity. Clicking on a price reveals dates the fare is available.

If you already know where you want to go, Itasoftware.com finds the cheapest dates to fly.

Click on “airfare search” in the middle of the home page, then enter your departure date and destination and select “see calendar of lowest fares.” To purchase, you must go to the airline’s website or online agencies like Travelocity.

To figure out whether to buy that plane ticket now or

wait, go to Bing.com/travel. Its Price Predictor can determine how likely a fare is to rise or fall during the next seven days from more than 250 U.S. cities to top domestic destinations and major hubs in Europe.

The site says its predictions are about 75 percent accurate and save customers more than $50 on average for a round trip.

After you’ve booked your tickets at an airline site, enter your flight information at Yapta.com to track the price so you don’t miss out on savings if the price drops. If the difference in price exceeds the rebooking fee (typically $75 to $150), Yapta will send you, without charge, an email or tweet so you can call the airline to claim the credit.

Hotels To get the best deal on Priceline.com, where travelers name their own price and pay before learning the hotel’s name, sites like Biddingfortravel.com and Betterbidding.com have long offered strategic advice on how to game the system. Now, a new site, Biddingtraveler.com, goes a step further. Enter the city, dates, neighborhood and star ratings for the hotel you want. Then, after reviewing the site’s recommendations, enter a “lowball” bid and “final offer.” The Bidding Traveler then calculates and helps you execute the optimal bidding strategy on Priceline.

Not willing to gamble?

Hotels.com offers nearly 145,000 properties in more than 60 countries from national chain hotels and all-inclusive resorts to bed-and-breakfasts. You can find particularly good last-minute deals on

Learning to buy time by saying ‘not now’ B y Tracy G rant The Washington Post

Two words of advice to moms and dads out there: Put the phrase “not now� in your vocabulary for 2012.

While kids all over the world may be thinking “no� is every parent’s favorite word, the reality is it’s very hard for many parents, and especially overachieving moms, to say no.

Hard to say no to supervising hot lunch at school. Hard to say no to making goose costumes for the school play.

Hard to say no to taking on a new project at work.

Advising people to say no is like telling people to quit smoking cold turkey, to never eat another piece of chocolate cake, to never watch another HGTV design show.

It’s just too much to expect of one human being.

But “not yet� or “not now� closes no doors, slaps no labels on you as being unwilling to pull your weight. In fact, it’s really saying “yes,� just with conditions.

I had my own “not now� moment several months ago when I was asked to think about a new job. I had cut back on work a year earlier to see my sons through high school, and after years of struggling with the old “work-life balance� chestnut, I finally felt I had the issue under control.

But there were competing

interests. First, I felt flattered to be asked to consider a new position. Second, in this economy, I didn’t want to say “no� and perhaps jeopardize a job I truly needed. Third, as much as I knew that curtailing my work was the right decision, I hated, really hated, the admission implicit in the move: that I couldn’t do it all.

I uttered the phrase “not now� about the new position.

Two years from now, when my boys will be high school seniors instead of sophomores, it would be an ideal challenge. In the meantime, I take my bosses at their word that they understand, and I’m appreciative of that understanding.

Of course it doesn’t work for every job or every life circumstance. There are times when the only answer is, in fact, “yes.� There are women I know who manage to be den mothers while covering presidential campaigns and relish it all. But if you can, and you’re inclined to, give yourself permission to utter the phrase “not now.� In all likelihood it will close very few doors, but it may open a small window on your soul.

Where’d all the snow go?

Some lucky resorts have it

By Michelle Higgins New York Times News Service

British Columbia Canada’s westernmost province has had stellar snowfall in the last couple weeks, and recent forecasts project more.

Whistler Blackcomb had its third-snowiest November on record and received new snow every day for the last nine days of December, creating a base of more than 6.6 feet and allowing it to open all 37 lifts, 8,171 acres and 200 runs.

Red Mountain Resort in Rossland reported getting new snow most days since Dec. 24, for a total of 20 inches, and is fully open with 100 percent natural snow. To get the word out about its snow, the resort is offering 30 days of free lift passes to visitors from the United States who book through Red Mountain Resort lodging using the booking code RedsGotSnow.

New England Teased by a record-breaking late October snowstorm, which buried some northern New England towns in snow and allowed resorts like Killington in Vermont to open early, ski areas faced mild temperatures in mid-December that made snow-making difficult. But a few cold days after the first of the year helped resorts make up for lost time.

For the best conditions, look for resorts with aggressive snow-making. “We have been

Weil Continued from C1 Weil believes Americans can be unrealistic about just what constitutes happiness.

“Absolutely. That’s most obvious around holiday time, but I think there’s a general cultural expectation that we’re supposed to be happy all the time, that our kids are supposed to be happy all the time,” he says. “That’s completely unrealistic.”

Perhaps not coincidentally, the diagnosis and treatment of clinical depression are at an all-time high, he says.

“It’s very alarming. Even if you remove whatever percentage is manufactured by the drug companies and the medical/psychiatric industry, you’re left with a lot of depression to explain. I think, in essence, it’s a mismatch between the life that our genes prepared us for and the life that most of us now actually live,” Weil says.

But with a large gray economic cloud hanging over the country, isn’t there an argument to be made that perhaps these are just depressing times?

“I don’t think that’s the rea-

A lack of snow across much of the United States has ski resorts from Lake Tahoe to Vermont scrambling to make enough on their own. In Vermont, where unseasonably high temperatures challenged snow-making in mid-December, Mad River Glen was forced to close for four days earlier this month. In the Lake Tahoe Basin, where the snowpack was 9 percent of normal on Jan. 1, Squaw Valley had just four of roughly 170 trails open.

And resorts in Park City, Utah, have run snow-makers full blast for the last several weeks to make up for the dearth.

“It’s been a crazy year because it’s been so dry for so many regions of the United States,” said Patrick Crawford, content director for Onthesnow.com, which provides reports on ski resorts around the world. “They’re all struggling.”

Unseasonably warm weather and unusual jet stream patterns, which are sending storms to the far north and south instead of across the Great Basin, the Rocky Mountains, the mid-Atlantic states and New England, are to blame. Just a handful of places have benefited from the strange weather patterns, including New Mexico and parts of the upper Northwest, which have received unprecedented snowfall.

Resorts point out that weather patterns could change quickly. For now, here is where you can find the best snow.

blasting our guns for a total of 52 days since opening back in October,” said Darcy Morse, a spokeswoman at Sunday River in Newry, Maine, which had 15 out of 16 lifts operating last weekend and 60 of 132 trails open, compared with 89 open trails the same weekend a year ago.

Some resorts are better equipped than others. Mad River Glen in Fayston, Vt., has just three snow machines.

Mount Snow in West Dover, Vt., has 253 high-efficiency fan guns — the most, it says, in North America. Overall, about half of Vermont’s 1,200 trails were open during the first week of January, down less than 10 percent compared with a year earlier.

Colorado The snowpack for all of Colorado was 68 percent of normal in early January, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Vail Resorts — which owns and operates four large ski areas in Colorado as well as Northstar California in North Lake Tahoe and Heavenly on the California-Nevada border — reported that visits to its six resorts were down about 15 percent through Jan. 2 compared with the same period a year ago. And for the first time in 30 years, a lack of snow prevented Vail Ski Resort from opening its back bowls, as of Jan. 6.

For the best conditions, head south to resorts like Silverton, Wolf Creek and Durango, which have benefited from the odd weather pattern and have plenty of snow, said Crawford of Onthesnow.com. Or stay east of the Continental Divide, where some Colorado resorts have benefited from low-pressure systems that spin counterclockwise and have kicked snow into Denver and to near-

son,” Weil says. “I hear people say the economy and state of the world, but my parents lived through the Great Depression, which makes this one seem pretty tame, and they lived through World War II, which is probably the most horrific human experience in history.

So I think things have always been bad, and they’ve been a lot worse than they are now.”

If that’s a depressing thought, take comfort in the fact we’re not alone. Depression, Weil notes, is high all across the spectrum of developed countries.

“The more people have, the less contented they are,” he says. “I think it’s a sum total of things like disconnection from nature, increasing social isolation, industrial food, information overload. I think it’s all these things.” Weil describes “industrial, food-like product” as being the refined, processed, manufactured foods that “have replaced whole, natural food in the diet” and are found most commonly in the middle of supermarkets and convenience stores.

Healthier foods can be moodelevating, Weil says. Along with quality fruits and vegetables,

by resorts like Echo Mountain and Eldora Mountain Resort.

Families simply looking for well-groomed trails will find plenty at major resorts like Aspen and Vail, which have invested heavily in snow-making.

Montana Most of Montana also has little snow. But a few resorts have been lucky. With several large snowstorms and 3,381 acres open so far this season, Big Sky Resort in southwestern Montana claims it has the best ski conditions and the most open acres in the Rocky Mountains. In an effort to capitalize on Colorado’s woes, Big Sky has said Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass holders can ski its slopes free throughout January when they book lodging with Big Sky Central Reservations and ask for the Epic Package.

Red Lodge Mountain Resort opened 100 percent of its terrain, including seven lifts and 71 runs, on Dec. 10 and has received about 140 inches so far. Last season, it wasn’t able to open all lifts and runs until February. And last week, Whitefish Mountain Resort in northwest Montana had 95 percent of its terrain open with a base depth of 13 to 45 inches, according to Onthesnow.com.

LOS ANGELES TIMES SUNDAY CROSSWORD

New Mexico The beginning of the 2011-12 season has been good here. All of the state’s ski resorts — from Ski Apache in the south to Red River in the north — have some of the best conditions in the country. Snowfall ranges from 40 inches in southern New Mexico to 105 inches in the north. Taos Ski Valley, about a two-hour drive from Santa Fe, has received 103 inches of snow through the first week of January. Red River Ski Area had 99 inches for the same period, roughly the same amount it received all last winter.

“omega-3-rich foods are probably the single best thing for a positive mood.” These include oily fish such as sardines, salmon and herring, Weil also offers these nondietary tips to combat unhappiness: Spend more time with people who are happy, and be aware of the things you’re grateful for.

“In researching the book, I was surprised how much data we have on the power of gratitude to improve mood,” he says. “Simply making mental notes of things to be grateful for and jotting them down before you go to bed: Doing that for one week can boost mood for up to six months.”

A week of positivity reverberates for six months? That’s great, but what if we were to, say, skip the gratitude journal and whip up some margaritas instead?

“Alcohol’s probably the main one that people use to escape depression or escape unhappiness,” Weil says. “There’s a very high chance of becoming dependent on it. It’s just risky to rely on mood-altering drugs to get out of bad moods.”

‘Vanilla Ice Project’: renovate ... renovate ... baby

By Jon Caramanica New York Times News Service

LAKE WORTH, Fla. — Vanilla Ice — once the most famous and reviled rapper in America, a towering figure of hip-hop crossover and identity crisis — is still making music, but he’s also now flipping homes.

Saturday marks the start of the second season of “The Vanilla Ice Project,” the unlikely DIY Network hit. But even more notable than its popularity is its accessibility and authority. Watch just a few minutes of the show and it’s clear that Vanilla Ice, 44, is a man in command of his kingdom. He’s at ease with all aspects of renovation, having flipped or built more than 100 houses in the past 15 years, or so he estimates.

So on a sunny, optimistic day in September, I reported for work about midway through the renovation of the Season 2 house, hoping to imbibe some of that cold Ice wisdom and avoid causing problems that would infuriate the home’s future owners.

The house is nice but not ostentatious for this relatively well-to-do neighborhood about 15 miles southwest of Palm Beach, one of several planned communities that unfold to the west of the Ronald Reagan Turnpike, just past the Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame. Vanilla Ice began exploring the areas around Palm Beach after Miami, where he lived, became “invaded by tourists,” he says.

“I never even came up here before.”

What’s “here” is a sea of expensive, secluded homes, surrounded by multiplying luxury strip malls and bigbox stores. There are new developments, foreclosures, short sales and plenty more to occupy a real estate investor’s time.

“I keep up on foreclosure statistics, population growth, where everybody’s going,” he says. “I find out where’s the next artery on the turnpike, ’cause I’m going to buy some land up before they put that in. Where’s the next Walmart being put up? Where’s the government putting money?”

VIP at Lowe’s He likes to drive, so we hit the road, heading to some home-supply shops. When we pull up to Lowe’s, he takes a VIP parking spot, which is to say he drives his SUV right up to the door and hops out.

Mostly we’re hunting for decorative moldings to give the staircase a quick hit of faux dignity. After scavenging through the store, he finally finds a handful of light wood ones — the better to curve with the staircase — and scoops them up.

As he heads back to the cash register, a little girl, maybe 6 or 7, freezes up when she sees him. “She loves you,” her mother says, as Vanilla Ice stops for a picture and some conversation. As he pays from a wad of 50s and 100s stuffed in a clip in his pocket, he reaches into a small fridge in the store and grabs a sugar-free Red Bull.

I mention that I’ve never had an energy drink before, which he takes as an invitation, grabbing one more, this one with sugar. “You’re going to love that,” he insists. Back in the SUV I start to take slow sips, as if it might burn holes in my esophagus. It tastes like formula for baby robots.

Rob Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice, is renovating this Wellington, Fla., house for an episode of “The Vanilla Ice Project.” The second season of Ice’s show about homebuilding and remodeling begins Saturday on the DIY Network.

single “Ice Ice Baby.” After that, even as his music career rose and fell, he splurged on everything, including homes, one of which was on Star Island in Miami.

“I felt like I was living in a frigging nightclub,” he recalled. “It became lonely and miserable.” So he started liquidating his properties and came to realize that real estate held its value. A second career ensued.

A reality show is born DIY Network/Scripps Networks, LLC. via New York Times News Service

Frank Morales, Dan Desjardins, Ice and Wes Kain work together to renovate homes for the show. “I keep up on foreclosure statistics, population growth, where everybody’s going,” Ice says.

Then it’s on to the Radio Shack at a mall, where an older woman tosses him an “I love your show” as he’s telling me how health issues led him to go vegan and to quit smoking weed. The Red Bull is taking hold, because I find myself extremely interested in the particulars of blood oxygenation. Also I’m sipping slowly, because now it tastes like clouds and glitter.

By the time we return to the house, I’m ready to work work work and am set up with one of his garrulous friends and four or five silent laborers who are slapping wet concrete on stone slabs and then attaching them to all sides of some square columns at the back of the house, giving a more rustic edge to a house that began as pretty modern.

I pick up a trowel and try hard to spread the concrete evenly. “Think of it like peanut butter,” Vanilla Ice’s friend says, which doesn’t help. I put a couple dozen pavers up, pressing them hard against the column so they stick. I get the sense that everyone else is putting theirs around the columns more tightly to compensate for mine.

Heavy equipment At one point, Vanilla Ice takes a break to let me drive a Bobcat loader, but it appears to be out of hydraulic fluid.

Miffed, he dispatches someone to call the maintenance company. A bit later, after the laborers have moved on, he checks in on the work. “See this? Carelessness,” he says, as he bends down to wipe up some stray concrete. Then he gazes over the backyard: “Damn, that looks rich. I don’t see how you’re not going to want to live in this place.”

And he’s right. Despite my best efforts, everything looks flawless or on the road to it. There’s a tiki island in the middle of the pool (that he excavated himself) with a grill and TV, all controlled by iPads. In the pool are reverse osmosis filters. “It’s what the space shuttle uses,” he says.

Inside, the house has preposterous details. There’s a walk-in humidor and wine room beneath that circular staircase, designed to envelop a pneumatic elevator. One room will have electronically controlled Murphy beds, and another has video gamer chairs by X Rocker with wireless functionality and built-in speakers. There’s a helicopter landing pad in the front yard. During lunch he signs off on an elaborate sprinkler system, dripping hot sauce on the property appraisal form.

“When we were in high school, what did we do? Find the new rap record,” he says.

“Now I want to show you how you can put a flush-mount iPad in every single room, even the laundry room. Maybe you just want to watch a soap opera in there.

“We’ve lost a lot of hope in America,” he continues. “Let me get some encouragement in these people. It’s not about the resale value. It’s about enjoying living.”

Vanilla Ice (real name Robert Van Winkle) has had nice houses since at least the release of his 1990 multiplatinum major-label debut, “To the Extreme” (SBK), which spawned the genre-reshaping

An offhand comment to a TV producer about his side hustle a couple years ago led to the opportunity to turn it into a reality show. On site the filming is pervasive, with several parts of the house being worked on and documented at once. Throughout the day he is so focused on the tasks in front of him that he often forgets to look at the camera and explain what he’s doing. He’s meticulous, and he’s efficient; the cameras, you sense, may be cutting into the bottom line by slow-

ing him down.

It’s a nice life, this. He home-schools his two daughters “to protect their innocence,” he says, and to give them the stability he never had as a child, when he moved from house to house, school to school. And he enjoys it here, in this least urban of places.

“My house is pretty nice,” he says with a laugh. He lives in the nearby gated community Versailles.

The house from Season 1 was sold to a Chinese family who saw the show on TV while visiting Disney World, drove to see the house and

closed quickly. And Vanilla Ice already has his eyes on a home for the show’s third season. It was hit by lightning, and “the whole roof is laying in the living room,” he exults.

“It’s waterlogged, but I know the structure is fine.”

By this point it’s dark, we’re outside and bugs are eating us alive. Having abandoned all pretense of work hours before, I’m more than ready to punch my card.

“You know what I’m going to do?” he says. “Get some Liquid Nails and stick that vent in that no one seems to want to do, for the dryer.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Paterno speaks in interview STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno says he “didn’t know which way to go” after an assistant coach came to him in 2002 saying he had seen retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing a boy.

In his first public comments since being fired two months ago, Paterno told The Washington Post that assistant Mike McQueary “didn’t want to get specific” about details in his 2002 allegation involving Sandusky, who he claimed was showering with a boy in the Penn State football facility.

The Post reported Saturday that Paterno was hesitant to make follow-up calls because he didn’t want to be seen as trying to exert influence either for or against Sandusky.

“I didn’t know which way to go ... And rather than get in there and make a mistake,” he told the Post before trailing off.

Sandusky was criminally charged on Nov. 5 and faces dozens of counts. Paterno was ousted four days later after 46 years as head coach.

SAN FRANCISCO — Like any 49ers team, this one could not escape comparisons to the dynastic San Francisco teams of a generation ago. As if trying to fully recapture their gloried past, the 49ers brought the 1980s pop icons Huey Lewis and the News to sing the national anthem. A handwritten sign above the last row of seats behind one end zone read, “We’re back!” The sentiment in the Bay Area all week had been that the resurrection has been mostly unnoticed by anyone east of the Sierra Nevada.

But these are not yesteryear’s quickflinging 49ers of Bill Walsh and Joe Montana. Built on defense, kicking and turnover prevention, the 49ers of firstyear coach Jim Harbaugh arrived Saturday to face a reversed image of their current selves — a New Orleans Saints team built on zippy passes and well-timed

runs, as nimble and explosive as any of those old 49ers squads.

But just as the 49ers were trying to prove that defense can still win championships in the point-happy NFL, the maligned quarterback Alex Smith channeled some combination of Montana and Steve Young. He led the 49ers to two goahead touchdowns in the final 2:11, the last a 14-yard pass to tight end Vernon Davis to beat the Saints, 36-32.

When the San Francisco defense turned away the Saints one last time, the 49ers, in the playoffs for the first time in nine years, were headed to their first conference championship appearance since 1997. They will play the winner of today’s game between the Green Bay Packers and the Giants in the NFC championship game. The 49ers would play the Giants in San Francisco, but travel to Green Bay to play the Packers.

S B Mixed martial arts • Aldo stops Mendes, defends UFC featherweight belt: Jose Aldo stopped Chad Mendes with one devastating knee to the head with a second left in the first round Saturday night, defending his featherweight title in Rio De Janeiro at UFC 142.

Aldo (21-1) spun and knocked the previously unbeaten Mendes senseless on his back with a perfectly timed right knee that caught Mendes (11-1) flush in the face. Aldo then landed two punches to Mendes’ defenseless head before referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the bout before the bell.

Tennis • Nieminen wins rain-delayed Sydney International: Finnish qualifier Jarkko Nieminen won the Sydney International in Sydney, Australia, for his second ATP title, beating France’s Julien Benneteau 6-2, 7-5 today in the rain-delayed final. Nieminen was making his 12th finals appearance, while Benneteau lost for the sixth straight time in a championship match.

• Qualifier Barthel wins Hobart International title: Qualifier Mona Barthel of Germany won her eighth straight match at the Hobart International, defeating top-seeded Yanina Wickmayer 6-1, 6-2 Saturday for her first WTA Tour title in Hobart, Australia. The 21-year-old Barthel, ranked 64th, closed with an ace on match point. She had a first-serve rate of 82 percent in the final.

• Tomic beats Fish for Kooyong title: Australian teenager Bernard Tomic won the first four games and went on to beat American Mardy Fish 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 on Saturday to clinch the title at Kooyong, an invitational warmup tournament for the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia. The 19-year-old Tomic, who plays 22nd-seeded Fernando Verdasco in the first round of the Australian Open on Monday, broke Fish’s serve in the last game and sealed the match with a forehand down the line. Austrian Jurgen Melzer beat Gael Monfils of France 6-3, 6-7 (10), 6-2 for third place.

• David Ferrer wins Auckland title for third time: Top-seeded David Ferrer won the Heineken Open for the third time, beating unseeded Belgium’s Olivier Rochus 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday in Auckland, New Zealand. Fer-

rer, ranked fifth in the world, completed preparations for the Australian Open with an impressive performance, dropping only one set over four matches for his 12th career title.

College athletics • NCAA asks for new proposal on $2,000 stipend: The NCAA Division I Board of Directors still believes scholarship limits should be expanded. It just wants time to work out the details. In a surprise move Saturday in Indianapolis, the board delayed implementation of a $2,000 expense allowance, opting instead to ask the working group to make a modified proposal in April.

Winter sports • Merighetti edges Vonn for downhill win in Cortina: Italian veteran Daniela Merighetti finally won a World Cup race Saturday despite a broken thumb while Lindsey Vonn finished second in one of the season’s biggest downhills in Cortina D’Ampezzo.

Merighetti was timed in 1 minute, 33.17 seconds on the Olympia delle Tofane course before her home fans on a day when wind slowed the favorites.

• Switzerland’s Beat Feuz wins Wengen downhill: New Swiss ski star Beat Feuz won the World Cup downhill on the classic Lauberhorn course Saturday in Wengen, Switzerland, with veteran teammate Didier Cuche never a factor. Feuz was timed in 2 minutes, 35.31 seconds on the longest course on the World Cup circuit. He leads the downhill standings in his breakout season. Hannes Reichelt of Austria was 0.44 seconds back in second. Christof Innerhofer of Italy trailed Feuz by 0.49 in third. Bode Miller of the United States appeared set to win but lost speed near the bottom and finished 0.77 back in fifth.

Motor sports • Peterhansel, Despres near victory in Dakar Rally: Frenchmen Stephane Peterhansel and Cyril Despres were on the verge of winning the Dakar Rally again after strong finishes Saturday in the next-to-last stage in Pisco, Peru. Peterhansel, the top Dakar winner with nine titles, and Despres, a three-time winner, need only to complete a 19-mile leg into the Peruvian capital of Lima today.

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Blazers’ streak hits three after OT loss to Rockets The Associated Press HOUSTON — All throughout their game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Kyle Lowry came through for the Houston Rockets.

Lowry scored 33 points, including a crucial late threepointer, and Kevin Martin, who tied for the NBA lead in free throws made last season, hit four clutch free throws in overtime to lift the Rockets to a 107-105 victory over the Trail Blazers on Saturday night.

“It was a dirty, ugly game,” Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. “We found a way to win it.”

LaMarcus Aldridge’s basket with 23 seconds left in regulation sent the game into overtime tied at 97. Portland lost its third straight game.

Martin, who finished with 28 points, scored Houston’s final six points with a layup and four free throws over the final 32 seconds of the extra period.

Nicolas Batum had a season-high 29 points to lead Portland. Aldridge had 22 points and 10 rebounds.

“I’ll tell you what we did,” McHale said. “We did a pretty good job of rebounding the ball against a real active team and Kyle, Kevin and Chase (Budinger) really stepped up big because we were having problems getting offense out of other places.”

After trailing much of the game, Portland rallied from an 84-76 deficit at the start of the fourth quarter to take a 91-90 lead on three free throws by Jamal Crawford, who was fouled by Martin while attempting a threepointer with 6:20 to play.

Gerald Wallace added a layup for a 93-90 lead but the Rockets weren’t finished.

Lowry’s three-point basket with 31 seconds left gave Houston a 97-95 lead. Aldridge’s jumper tied it with 23 seconds remaining, sending the game into overtime.

“I was shooting it (threepointer) no matter what,” Lowry said. “I got the opportunity to take the shot and I made it. It was a great screen by (Luis) Scola.”

Houston fought hard for a 58-53 halftime edge after leading by 14 points in the second quarter.

Lowry scored 11 points in the third period, helping the Rockets open a 84-76 lead going into the final quarter.

Houston had to deal with foul trouble beginning in the second quarter when starters Luis Scola and Samuel Dalembert each picked up their third fouls and they each got their fourth early in the third.

The Rockets led 50-36 with 3:36 to go in the second quarter but had to withstand a three-point shooting performance by Batum to keep their five-point halftime lead.

Batum hit five of his six first half three-point baskets, including three in the final three minutes of the second

He finished six of seven from three-point range.

“I got a lot of open shots, some easy layups and I was making free throws,” Batum said. “I let the game come to me and I was very aggressive. I am defense first and then the offense comes.”

Houston used an 11-0 spurt to take the early first quarter lead and held a 27-21 advantage at the end of the quarter. Lowry had 11 points and Dalembert grabbed seven rebounds to help the Rockets.

Wings stay hot at home, beat Blackhawks in overtime The Associated Press DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings earned a spot in the franchise’s storied record books with a 14th straight win at home.

It wasn’t easy.

Todd Bertuzzi scored his second goal Saturday at 4:21 in overtime, lifting the Red Wings to a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Detroit’s home winning streak equals the team mark set in 1965.

“Even though we’re in the thick of a tight race, it is something we can be proud of as a team,” defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom said. “This franchise hasn’t done this since the 1960s, so it says a lot that we’ve been able to do it.”

The Red Wings can break the record Monday night against Buffalo.

“It’s always good to have something to motivate you on any given night,” Lidstrom said.

The seven-time Norris Trophy winner was glad Detroit came out on top because his right skate helped send the game to overtime.

Chicago’s Jonathan Toews scored his 23rd goal with 51.7 seconds left in the third period, completing a sequence that started with a shot by Marian Hossa that went off Lidstrom.

The big play gave the Blackhawks a point that will keep them ahead of the Red Wings.

“Huge point,” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said.

The Blackhawks began the day atop the tightly contested Central Division — leading St. Louis by a point, Detroit by two points and Nashville by five — and had a chance to end it in third place behind the Blues and Red Wings until they extended the matchup.

The Red Wings looked as if they might roll toward an easy victory when Pavel Datsyuk assisted on two goals — scored by Tomas Holmstrom and Bertuzzi — and outshot Chicago 21-4 in the first period.

Jimmy Howard wasn’t fooled.

“You knew eventually they were going to start coming and pressing,”

NHL ROUNDUP Howard said.

Howard made 25 saves to earn his NHL-high 26th win.

Corey Crawford had to make 40 saves to give the Blackhawks a shot to win.

After pulling Crawford for an extra skater, Chicago called timeout and scored the tying goal following a faceoff in the Detroit end.

Calgary was the last team to beat Detroit at Joe Louis Arena, winning 4-1 on Nov. 3.

Classic

PREP ROUNDUP

Continued from D1 “The young guys have really been stepping up,” said Jared Kasch, a junior who is eying his third individual state title this season. “Ever since we went down to Washington and wrestled Orting, the young guys have been doing great.”

Central Oregon was well represented in the semifinals and finals Saturday.

Redmond finished second in the Classic’s 6A division, falling 53-10 in the championship final to Roseburg, which has won four of the past five 6A state titles. Crook County finished third in the Class 4A division, falling to 2011 state champion Henley 29-26 in the semifinals before rebounding to knock off Cascade in third-place dual.

“We knew the final might be a rough one,” Redmond coach Nathan Stanley said. “But we beat some good teams by a lot of points to get there.”

After going 3-0 in pool-play competition Friday, the Panthers cruised past Oregon City 58-8 in Saturday’s quarterfinals and defeated David Douglas 38-18 in the semifinal round. Ryan Haney paced Redmond on Saturday, going 3-0 at 126 and 132 pounds.

Crook County also went 2-1 on Saturday after rolling through pool play undefeated on Friday. The Cowboys bested Scappoose 59-12 in the 4A quarterfinals before their narrow defeat to Henley in the semifinals.

“This should bring us back to earth,” Crook County wrestler Rhett Smith said about the Cowboys’ loss to Henley.

“Things were going pretty good for us at the start of the season, but this should sober us up a bit.”

Redmond’s Ty George fights to break free of Roseburg’s Levi Holder as they fall to the mat during the 126-pound match at the Oregon Wrestling Classic held Saturday at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond. George won the match.

Bend High and La Pine also had a shot at the semifinal round Saturday. The Lava Bears lost to Hermiston 53-16 in the 5A quarterfinals and then fell to Sandy 51-28 in a bonus match. The Hawks dropped their 4A quarterfinal dual to Cascade 5618 and also were topped by Tillamook, 41-33.

“We competed really well against Hermiston,” said Bend coach Luke Larwin, whose team won the first three matches against the five-time defending state champion Bulldogs. “Our kids and staff feel good about that performance and

feel good about the direction we’re going.”

Garrett Searcy (182 pounds) and Levi Penter (160) paced La Pine on Saturday as both wrestlers went 2-0.

Rounding out Central Oregon teams, Madras defeated North Marion 42-35 in the White Buffaloes’ bonus match Saturday.

In addition to Roseburg and Culver, Dallas (5A), Henley (4A) and Glide (3A) all won team championships at this year’s Classic.

He had a school-record 66 touchdown passes in 31 games with the Ducks. He ranks sixth on the school’s career list with 6,629 yards of total offense and seventh with 5,910 yards passing.

Backup Bryan Bennett is expected to lead the Ducks when Oregon opens spring practice on April 3.

True freshmen Marcus Mariota and Jake Rodrigues will also compete for the job.

Bulletin staff report On the road, holding onto a slim lead late in the game, Crook County made free throws when it mattered.

The Cowgirls went seven for 10 from the charity stripe in the fourth quarter to defeat host Summit High of Bend, 49-44, in Saturday’s Intermountain Hybrid girls basketball game. Crook County has now won four in a row, while the Storm have dropped four straight.

The Class 4A Cowgirls were efficient offensively (13 of 23 on two-point field goals, 17 of 22 from the free throw line) and made enough defensive plays to slow down Class 5A Summit.

Crook County led 23-22 at halftime, but Summit took a six-point lead with four minutes remaining in the third quarter. The Cowgirls responded by retaking the lead and holding on in the fourth quarter.

Summit coach Ryan Cruz said missed opportunities around the rim early in the game were critical, and that the Storm used only seven players due to injuries.

Brooke Buswell led the Cowgirls with 15 points on the night. Kayla Morgan contributed 12 points, while Marci Johnston added 10 points and seven rebounds.

Raja Char was the lone Storm player in double figures with 15 points.

Crook County (10-5) plays at Mountain View on Tuesday, while Summit (6-9 overall) hosts Redmond on Tuesday.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Niners Continued from D1 That result was far from certain, as the 49ers let slip a 17-0 secondquarter lead, finally falling behind, 24-23, with 4:02 remaining when quarterback Drew Brees connected with Darren Spoles for a 44yard touchdown.

“Kind of an unbelievable game the way it went back and forth,” New Orleans coach Sean Payton said. “It’s obviously a difficult game to lose.”

Smith, the well-mannered first overall choice of the 2005 draft, has been subjected to offensive coordinators — seven in seven seasons — the way bratty kids rotate through baby sitters. Under Harbaugh, however, he had found comfort in being a manager of the offense, a protector of the ball. When he ran around left end for a 28-yard touchdown with 2:11 left, the Candlestick Park crowd sounded ready to add him to the stadium’s Ring of Honor.

But the lead changed two more times. Brees completed a pass over the middle to tight end Jimmy Graham, who spun and ran the rest of the 66 yards for another go-ahead touchdown.

Smith, suddenly in a shootout that no one expected — and that no one expected he and the 49ers could win — threw 47 yards to Davis, then 14 more for the touchdown, setting off celebrations that have not been seen at Candlestick Park in two decades.

“This is big for us,” Davis said.

“It’s history. It’s legendary.”

One unanswered question at kickoff was whether the Saints could take their high-scoring show outdoors. Like colicky babies, cats and souffles, they do not travel well.

New Orleans had never won a road playoff game, losing all four previous chances. Last year, as the defending Super Bowl champions, the favored Saints lost in Seattle to open the postseason.

This season, the Saints were 5-3 away from home, the losses coming to teams that finished a combined 9-36 in other games. In New Orleans, the Saints averaged 38 points. Away from home, they averaged 23.8. Their five lowest-scoring games were on the road.

But on Saturday, conditions were positively domelike, the game played under a cloudless sky with the temperature in the 50s.

The matchup was the first since the 1950 NFL championship game

Pats, Brady rout Broncos, Tebow 45-10

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith crosses the goal line for a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s playoff game in San Francisco.

Today’s NFL playoff games In today’s NFL playoff action, the Houston Texans (11-6) are coming off the first postseason victory in franchise history and meet the Baltimore Ravens (12-4), who were 8-0 at home during the regular season.

Also, Aaron Rodgers and the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers (15-1) take on Eli Manning and the New York Giants (10-7).

At Baltimore, the AFC North champion Ravens are confident that home-field advantage will be a big factor in their bid to defeat the Texans and earn a berth in the conference title game. It will be the Ravens’ first home playoff game since 2006 and the first for star running back Ray Rice, now in his fourth NFL season.

“It’s a dream come true,” Rice said. “I played every playoff game that there was since I’ve been a rookie, and they’ve all been on the road. ... Trust me, it’s a lot different than playing at home. So, a home playoff game definitely plays big on our behalf.”

The Texans know all about that.

They beat Cincinnati 31-10 last week at Reliant Stadium, and for Houston

to feature one team that allowed, on average, fewer than 15 points (San Francisco, at 14.3 per game)

to be successful this week it needs to not jump offside and get the running game going so T.J. Yates isn’t pressed into an obvious passing situation on third down.

“The crowd really gets behind them,” offensive tackle Duane Brown said. “We played them in the regular season, and I’m sure it’s going to be multiplied times 10, 20 now that it’s the playoffs.”

At Green Bay, Wis., Rodgers and the Packers’ offense have been terrific all season. The defense, however, has been vulnerable — something the Giants hope to take advantage of.

“I think if we get into a shootout like we did last time, I think we will be OK,” Giants receiver Victor Cruz said. “But it will have to come down to who has the last touch.”

Meanwhile, the Packers’ defense is looking to hit the reset button in the playoffs.

“This is a fresh start for us to right all our wrongs,” defensive lineman Ryan Pickett said.

The teams played Dec. 4, when the Packers won 38-35 on a lastsecond field goal.

—The Associated Press

against one that averaged more than 34 points (New Orleans, scoring 34.2 points per game).

The notion that defense wins championships, as antiquated as Candlestick Park itself, was evident from the start. The capacity crowd at Candlestick Park chanted “de-fense” before the game’s first snap. But the Saints marched downfield with their customary assortment of quick passes and occasional runs, reaching a third-and-6 and the San Francisco 6-yard line.

Brees scrambled for a moment before throwing to running back Pierre Thomas, who caught the ball and turned upfield into a vicious head-to-head tackle by San Francisco safety Donte Whitner.

Separately, Thomas and the ball dropped to the grass, and San Francisco linebacker Patrick Willis recovered the fumble.

San Francisco tied for the league lead in takeaways (38) and had the fewest turnovers (10). That plus-28 turnover margin, typically a useful barometer of a win-loss record, was the NFL’s second best since 1970. They ended up with five turnovers from the Saints.

The 49ers struck first, late in the first quarter. Smith threw downfield to Davis, who caught the ball between defensive backs Harper and Porter. The two would-be tacklers bounced off one another, leaving Davis to sprint alone most of the distance to complete a 49-yard touchdown to begin an avalanche of scoring.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady silenced Tebowmania with a record-shattering performance.

Brady threw six touchdown passes, five in the first half, putting the New England Patriots into the AFC championship game after roughing up Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos 45-10 Saturday night.

The Patriots (14-3), winners of nine straight games, will host either Baltimore or Houston next Sunday for a spot in the Super Bowl. Saturday night’s romp snapped a three-game postseason losing streak, two of those at Gillette Stadium, and lifted the Patriots to the verge of their fifth Super Bowl appearance in 11 seasons. They’ve won three of those.

“We came in and started fast and it was a big win for us,” said Brady.

From the first snap, this was a mismatch.

The Patriots were not going to make the same mistakes the Steelers made against this team.

A nation transfixed by Tebow’s play, if not his principles, tuned in Saturday to see if he had more heroics in store for Brady and company. He had nothing left as the Patriots made this must-see TV only for those who live in New England.

With New England up 42-7, the fans began their derisive Teeee-bow chants. On the next play, the Broncos quarterback was sacked for an 11-yard loss — one of five sacks for New England’s 31st-ranked defense.

“We went out and played very hard and good things happened,” defensive tackle Vince Wilford said. “A great team win.”

Denver couldn’t cover or tackle All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski, who tied a postseason mark with three touchdown catches, all in the opening half. Brady toyed with the Broncos (9-9), throwing more touchdown passes than Tebow had completions (three) in the first 30 minutes.

“We were playing complementary football, and it was awesome,” Gronkowski said.

Brady’s sixth TD was to his other tight end, Aaron Hernandez, as the quarterback tied Steve Young and Daryle Lamonica for the most in a postseason game.

Brady was 26 for 34 for 363 yards and Gronkowski made 10 catches for 145 yards as the Patriots gained 509 yards in all. In stark contrast, Tebow was nine for 26 for 136 yards.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: PAC-12 ROUNDUP

GOLF ROUNDUP

Maggert tied for Sony Open lead

Slow start kills Beavers The Associated Press TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State was headed down a perilous road yet again, tossing the ball out of bounds and into the hands of its opponent.

For once, the Sun Devils found a way to stop giving the ball away and ended up with one of their best wins of the season.

Chanse Creekmur hit six three-pointers and had a career-best 24 points, helping Arizona State overcome a sloppy first half to beat Oregon State 76-66 Saturday night.

“I’m really proud of our guys. I thought they stepped up with a gut-check win this afternoon,” Arizona State coach Herb Sendek said. “I love the way they’re pulling together and I thought we played a pretty good game on both ends of the floor.”

Arizona State (6-11, 2-3) had lost six of seven and appeared to be heading toward another disappointment after turning it over 13 times in the first half.

The Sun Devils shot their way out of trouble, hitting 59 percent from the floor (15 of 24 in the second half) with 22 assists on 29 field goals to win for just the third time in 10 home games.

Kyle Cain added 16 points to help Arizona State overcome the loss of leading scorer Trent Lockett, who left with a right leg injury midway through the second half.

Following the game, Sendek said that Lockett sustained a severe sprain and will be reassessed.

Oregon State (11-7, 1-5) started slowly and never recovered.

The nation’s fifth-best scoring team shot 37 percent, hit four of 21 from three-point range and was just 14 of 21 from the free-throw line to lose for the fifth time in six games.

Devon Collier led the Beavers with 21 points.

“We’ll have to go back and see what the heck is going on,” Beavers coach Craig Robinson said. “That was the first time we weren’t the typical Oregon State team we have been all year.”

Oregon’s Devoe Joseph (34) passes the ball against Arizona’s Solomon Hill (44) during the first half of Saturday’s game in Tucson, Ariz. Oregon won 59-57.

Ducks get a desert sweep The Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. — Victories at Arizona don’t happen often for Oregon. The desert sweep accomplished by the Ducks on Saturday is rarer still.

Garrett Sim scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half, including the go-ahead three-pointer with 1:46 to play, and the Ducks held off the Wildcats 59-57 to complete just their second sweep at Arizona and Arizona State since the Arizona schools joined what is now the Pac12 33 years ago.

“This feels amazing,” Sim said. “I’m so proud of this team.”

Arizona (12-6, 3-2) rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit to lead 56-54 on Nick Johnson’s two free throws with 2:59 left. But E.J. Singler made an inside basket to tie it, then Sim sank his big shot as he fell to the court in front of his team’s bench, putting the Ducks (13-5, 4-2) up permanently.

Arizona’s Brendon Lavender missed a three-pointer in the waning seconds. Teammate Kyle Fogg grabbed the rebound but missed a short jumper as time expired.

It was Fogg’s eighth miss

in nine attempts for the game as Oregon shut down the Wildcats’ perimeter offense most of the afternoon.

Arizona coach Sean Miller severely criticized the effort by his team through the first half and early in the second.

“If you look at the rebounding numbers through about 24 minutes, we were overwhelmed. It was men against boys,” he said. “If you want to give our team any credit, we certainly fought back and had a chance to win, but the hole that we dug was a lot about our effort, concentration and readiness. We just didn’t have it.”

Devoe Joseph and Olu Ashaolu scored 13 apiece for the Ducks. Solomon Hill scored 16 and Josiah Turner 11 for the Wildcats, who lost at home for only the second time in 11 games. The other was to San Diego State.

“This was a huge game, and a big win,” said Singler, one of Oregon’s five seniors.

“I haven’t been able to win here since I’ve been a Duck.

This was a great atmosphere and a great win for both the team and the program.”

The only other time the Ducks won at Arizona and Arizona State was in 2006-

07, when Oregon opened the season 18-1. Ducks coach Dana Altman, a man of few words, was not about to overreact, however.

“A win is a win in this league,” he said. “We traditionally haven’t done well here. We are not hitting on all cylinders.

We played good but I know we can play great.”

Also on Saturday: Stanford . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .84 Colorado . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .64 STANFORD, Calif. — Chasson Randle scored 18 points and made four three-pointers to help Stanford beat Colorado.

California . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .81 Utah. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .45 BERKELEY, Calif. — Justin Cobbs had 14 points and a career-high 11 assists, Jorge Gutierrez added 15 points and California stayed atop the Pac12 with a win over Utah.

Th e Associated Press HONOLULU — Matt Every felt a lot more comfortable with a golf club in his hand instead of a microphone.

Starting to feel nerves from his rare position atop the leaderboard, Every steadied himself after a sluggish start and birdied his final hole Saturday for a 2-under 68, leaving him tied with 47-year-old Jeff Maggert going into the final day of the Sony Open.

Maggert, who missed part of last season after surgery on his right shoulder, eagled the easy par-5 ninth for the second straight day and shot a 64 for his first good chance at winning in nearly six years.

They were at 12-under 198, although 16 players were within four shots of the lead.

The toughest time Every has had all week came after his second round Friday.

He was honest to a fault while discussing his PGA Tour suspension his rookie season in 2010 after he was arrested on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge during the John Deere Classic. He looked uncomfortable when the topic was raised in a Golf Channel interview moments later.

Every attributed a tough night of sleep to his twoshot lead, figuring he had more to lose than to gain.

But when he arrived at the course, he felt as calm as the conditions.

“I actually enjoyed myself a lot today, which was kind of weird,” Every said. “Because yesterday and going into today ... I was kind of dreading today. But then when I got out here, I was like, ‘I’m so glad I get to play golf today.’

“If you play well ... not that interviews are Jeff bad,” he said. Maggert “This is my first time really being in contention. I don’t know what those guys go through every week. Now I’m starting to realize it.”

Charles Howell III, who has had five finishes in the top five at the Sony Open, gave himself another opportunity with a 66.

He was in the group at 10-under 200. Pebble Beach winner D.A. Points shot 64 and was another shot back, while the large group at 8-under 202 included Steve Stricker, trying to join Ernie Els as the only players to sweep the Hawaii events.

In another Saturday event: Darkness halts Joburg Open JOHANNESBURG — South Africa’s Branden Grace and England’s Richard Finch were in front by one stroke at the Joburg Open before the third round was stopped because of darkness.

Florida St. rips No. 3 North Carolina The Associated Press TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Deividas Dulkys’ childhood dream came true Saturday.

And you couldn’t blame him if he might have believed it had been a dream.

The senior Florida State guard scored a career-high 32 points and was eight of 10 from three-point range to key the Seminoles’ 90-57 victory over No. 3 North Carolina that snapped a nine-game winning streak and was the Tar Heels’ worst loss under coach Roy Williams.

“Every little kid has a dream when you’re playing on a big stage like I did today,” Dulkys said. “I guess today was my day.”

And that was an understatement.

Dulkys, a native of Lithuania whose previous careerhigh was 22 points, was 12 of 14 from the field overall and added four steals and a blocked shot. His eight threes were a Florida State record in Atlantic Coast Conference play.

“We tried to keep him from scoring if we could but he just kept getting so open and our guys were running into screens,” Williams said.

“It was a great performance shooting the basketball.”

Also on Saturday: No. 1 Syracuse . . . . . . . . . . . . .78 Providence . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .55 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Dion Waiters had 12 points, seven coming during a decisive firsthalf run, Scoop Jardine added 10 points and nine assists, and Syracuse beat undermanned Providence to remain unbeaten.

JOHN COSTA

Disparate justice

D

rawing conclusions about the justice system from one criminal sentencing is not an easy thing to do. In fact, it’s a foolish thing to do. But one sentencing last week was a reminder of the potential disparate results that are possible under Oregon’s sentencing guidelines. It was the sentencing of Erik Conn for hitting and killing 16-year-old Forrest Cepeda with his car while driving and texting at the same time.

Conn was charged with seconddegree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, reckless endangerment and reckless driving.

Second-degree manslaughter is a Measure 11 offense, which, if he had been convicted, would have called for six years of imprisonment under the state’s guidelines. Instead, Conn pleaded guilty to the lesser charges of criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment.

Not being Measure 11 offenses, this plea led to a sentence of 150 days in the Deschutes County jail, 28 months in state prison and the lifetime loss of his driver’s license.

He also has to pay Cepeda’s funeral costs and other fees. But in agreeing to plead guilty to the lesser charges, he escaped a penalty for the most serious charge of second-degree manslaughter and avoided the six-year sentence in state prison mandated by Measure 11. That measure, passed overwhelmingly by voters in 1994, sets mandatory minimum sentences for the most serious offenses. It is not unusual for defendants to agree to plead guilty to lesser charges to avoid the lengthier mandatory minimums stipulated under Measure 11.

There is no such thing as the perfect sentence for the senseless death of an innocent teenager like Cepeda.

And a strong case can be made that this is a good one, or a better one than a previous case or two.

Nothing will restore Cepeda to life, and as much as any of us sympathize with his family’s understandable disappointment at a 33-month sentence for Conn, the costs of prosecution and imprisonment, given limited space and dollars, have to be weighed on another scale.

Thirty-three months behind bars may seem puny in one sense, but perfectly rational against the costs of a trial, whose outcome can’t be certain. Added to that would be the costs of a longer jail sentence, the sum of which has to be weighed against the full load of cases to be prosecuted and criminals imprisoned. As heartless as this sounds, one of the many questions raised by Conn’s inexcusable act is the relative application of resources.

Another important question, however, is fairness. The irony is that Measure 11, which was intended to bring certainty and equity in sentencing to the state, has become a metaphor for the reverse. Defense attorneys statewide argue that prosecutors use Measure 11 as a club, elevating infractions to Measure 11 offenses to gain lesser pleas from those trying to avoid harsher punishment. Employed reasonably, that’s a technique used by prosecutors across the nation with justification, sparing costs.

But its unreasonable use can destroy credibility in the application of justice. A classic example was the charging of David Black and Randall Clifford with second-degree manslaughter in the 2006 accident that killed two young women. Black and Clifford were driving separate cars from the women, who were together.

All four were leaving the scene of a drag race. Driving away, the women crashed the car into an oncoming van, killing them both, and badly injuring the van’s driver. Clifford plead guilty to a lesser charge and served only three months in county jail.

Black refused the plea, arguing he did nothing wrong. He was sentenced to more than six years in prison.

The difference in the disparate sentences was simply the result of Black’s unwillingness to take the plea. The Bulletin discovered many other lawbreakers who were far more culpable than Black yet did less time. The disparity between what happened in those cases and what happened in Conn’s is the real challenge to Measure 11.

Health reform process should be transparent

W

hen it’s the public’s money, the public’s business and the public’s health care, the state of Oregon should be letting the public into the meetings in

which the decisions are made. But the question is: Will the state let the public in or shroud it in secrecy?

The state is making the rules for new entities — called coordinated care organizations, or CCOs — that will manage state Medicaid dollars. The state will give CCOs a specific amount of money. In return, the CCOs will provide physical, mental, behavioral and dental care for a region.

The goal is to save money and improve care.

If there’s time in the short February session, the state Legislature will be considering the critical questions about how transparent and accountable the CCOs will be. Last week, the Oregon Health Policy Board listened to testimony about how CCOs should be governed. Who should be on the boards? How will the state hold CCOs accountable? What should the metrics be? What if CCOs flounder? Do they get fined?

One issue that was vague in the bill that created the reform — House Bill 3650 — is whether the meetings of CCOs will be required to be open to the public.

Many of the entities that will likely be represented on the boards of CCOs will be private businesses. They are not going to be used to making policy decisions with direct public scrutiny.

They may not be comfortable with it. They may not want to do it.

Many of the entities that will likely be represented on the boards of CCOs will be private businesses.

They are not going to be used to making policy decisions with direct public scrutiny. They may not be comfortable with it. They may not want to do it.

Of course, CCO boards should not be discussing in public particular patients or lawsuits. There would need to be exemptions similar to those that exist under the law now for such discussions to take place in executive session.

Gov. John Kitzhaber has not taken a position on whether the meetings should be closed or open, according to his health policy adviser Mike Bonetto. Kitzhaber should make his position clear and not allow CCOs to operate in secret.

If Oregonians want a better guarantee of transparency and accountability, the only option is to make the meetings open. Any exceptions should be extremely narrow.

A new issue with the state’s liquor monopoly

E

very time we think we’ve come up with all the possible reasons to end the state’s monopoly on liquor sales in Oregon, a new one crops up.

The system works like this: Your local Albertsons or Safeway, which buys its wine from a distributor, must pay cash at the time of purchase, according to Willamette Week. At the same time, the distributor needn’t pay the maker of the wine for days or weeks. In effect, the distributor may use the grocer’s money for that period, though the grocer may not get even a day in which to find the money to pay for what he bought.

That’s hardly fair. And why is state law even interfering in who pays who when?

There are other distribution problems, as well. Suppose the Safeway on Bend’s west side purchases far too much of a particular kind of wine from its distributor.

The store cannot sell the stuff, even though the Forum shopping center

Safeway is having trouble keeping the same wine in stock.

Logic tells you that the simple solution is to move supply across town where demand is high. In Oregon, though — where alcohol is concerned — nothing is that simple.

No, that wine cannot simply be loaded into a truck and moved from one store to the other. Instead, it must travel back to the distributor, then reloaded and delivered to the store where demand is high. It’s enough to drive a person to drink.

There are some liquor control functions that many Oregonians would likely agree the state needs, such as keeping liquor out of the hands of minors. But does the state really need to be involved in distribution? Does the state really need to have special stores?

No it doesn’t. Other states manage just fine without being in the liquor business. Get Oregon out of it.

My Nickel’s Worth Where is timber bill?

A little over two years ago, we were promised the “end of east side forestry wars� by Sen. Ron Wyden.

The senator introduced legislation he claimed would bring jobs to our forests. The bill would supposedly end the lawsuits from environmental groups, increase timber production and keep our eastside mills open and jobs alive! At the same time we saw lots of nice photo ops, press releases and campaign commercials. We even had a hearing here in Bend to learn about the bill’s benefits.

Here we are, two years later, and the bill hasn’t even passed the committee. It is interesting, Wyden is a member of the Energy and Resources Committee and the chairman of the Public Lands and Forest subcommittee, but his own bill hasn’t even passed that subcommittee.

As we look around in Oregon, our county budgets are on the brink of bankruptcy because we cannot rely on timber dollars anymore! But here we sit two full years later — no bill!

Don’t you think it is time to ask our senator to pass “his� bill?

No 2nd term for Obama Should we give President Barack Obama a second chance? We should not. Here are a few reasons why: Since he took office, the national debt has increased beyond belief.

He has borrowed and spent an incredible amount of money with little to show for it.

He has surrounded himself with a like-thinking cabinet. Eric Holder, his chief law man, didn’t know his department was selling guns

to the Mexican drug thugs. Janet Napolitano, his secretary of Homeland Security, has done nothing to stop the flow of illegal aliens across our southern border. When Arizona passed laws to secure its border, Holder sued them to cancel the laws. Dr. Steven Chu, his secretary of energy, thought the $500 million federal loan guarantee to Solyndra was a good deal. Shortly after the deal was done, the company filed for bankruptcy, putting a lot of folks out of work.

If you think the “stimulus� money was administered by competent people, I invite you to visit the new and improved Amtrak station in Chemult, funded with stimulus money.

They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars there. The costly improvements include a small shelter building with 10 seats inside it and no restroom! No one uses it and the inside is littered with trash.

In my opinion, Obama has a goal of bankrupting our government and changing it to socialism. He does not deserve a second chance.

Mom a hero, not ‘hero’ It is revealing to note that a story in The Bulletin — published Jan. 6 on Page A5 — is titled, “Teen mom called ‘hero’ for fatally shooting intruder.�

She is a hero. The tone of the article and the use of quotes around the word hero reveals the bias of the liberal media against the use of deadly force to protect oneself and family.

The view of the liberal left is that it is more politically correct to be a victim rather than use a firearm to protect yourself.

This teenage mom did the right thing by calling 911. That did not prevent an armed intruder from

entering her home. This case demonstrates clearly that seconds count when the police are minutes away.

Roundabout mayhem Julie Johnson’s recent column regarding bad Bend roundabout drivers was spot on! I recently moved here from the valley but have driven thousands of miles in Scotland.

Bend drivers do exhibit more courtesy than the Scots but as Johnson so aptly points out they often gum up the works — particularly The Waver. Still, I wish there were more double lane roundabouts instead of traffic lights especially given the number of low traffic yet long sequence lit intersections here. And we should be thankful there are none of the fear inducing, four lane, 40 mph, six spoke monsters you find in the U.K. That said I would like to add an additional category to Johnson’s roster. Unfortunately, based on my experience here, nearly everyone falls into this one. I’ll call them No Signs. Not using your turn indicator in Scotland will, at the very least, leave you on the receiving end of a honk or hand gesture. Worst case it’s a wreck. Here it seems to be the standard. It would be nice if people would signal to the right when they are going to exit. It’s probably too much to ask that they signal left when entering with the intention of continuing past the first exit. However if people understood that this helps speed the flow (eastbound on Newport at 14th Street on a weekday afternoon ring a bell for anyone?) and reduces the darters then maybe we could all get where we want to be faster, smoother and safer.

State agencies’ budget balances are too murky

By Sen. Chris Telfer s the Legislature prepares to deal with serious budget challenges this February, there should be no stone left unturned in the search for solutions that protect core services. Unfortunately, broken lines of communication with state agencies and myopic budget practices make the job of efficiently balancing the budget difficult.

In preparation for the February session, I began asking the State Controller’s Office — which functions as the state accountant — for a snapshot of agency bank balances. Just like a family would look at their assets and cash-on-hand before making a yearly budget or major financial decision, I thought it was a good idea to get a grasp of the state’s cash position.

To my surprise, the controller’s of-

A

fice would not immediately give me this information. In fact, it took almost a month to convince them that a legislator — who is constitutionally responsible for writing a balanced budget — needed this basic financial data.

To be fair, the controller’s office said they were reluctant to release the information because it was unaudited. However, if the Legislature is to make informed decisions this February, having this type of information is vital, even if it is preliminary. Having to wait months for bottom-line data that should be readily available is unacceptable.

When I finally had a chance to look at the information, I discovered what seems to be $680 million in what are called unrestricted fund balances.

These are end-of-the-year account balances, separate from a safety net

IN MY VIEW the Legislature put in place at the end of the 2011 session.

These large balances obviously piqued my interest. Upon further examination, I saw that there are $176 million in truly unrestricted funds in these ending fund balances and an additional $516 million of so-called committed resources. These are resources that could be reallocated by the Legislature to protect core government functions.

I believe that some of this money could be used by the Legislature in February to prevent cuts to classrooms, health care, prisons and to continue to safeguard the state’s general fund reserves. Unfortunately, as I try to get greater detail on the origin

and purpose of these balances, I am confronted by a shocking number of bureaucratic hurdles and obliviousness. No one seems to have a good answer or concrete, detailed explanation for this money.

This information gap is a symptom of a larger problem when it comes to the way the state budgets. A major reason this fundamental budgeting information is so difficult to acquire and parse is because it is rarely asked for.

For too long, state budget writers have focused almost all of their attention on the state’s income tax driven general fund spending, but turned a blind eye to these agency accounts that are driven by fees and other fund sources.

These balances could be the difference between shortening the school year or being able to keep students in the classroom. They could prevent the

release of dangerous criminals from our prisons. And it could enable us to leave our carefully established reserve funds untouched and available for the possibility of further economic turmoil. But until we get a clearer picture of the state’s finances, it is going to be tough to make informed decisions.

It is time the Legislature broadened its budgeting perspective and scope. Especially in these difficult economic times, every dollar should be on the table, not just the relatively small percentage brought in through state income taxes. If we are going to protect the services that matter most to Oregonians, we need to consider and examine these other funds that have for too long been absent from the budget discussion. — Sen. Chris Telfer-R represents Oregon’s 27th District.

C How do we protect our interests?

P

resident Barack Obama just ordered massive cutbacks in defense spending, eventually to total some $500 billion. There is plenty of fat in a Pentagon budget that grew after 9/11, but such slashing goes way too far.

Fairly or not, the cuts will only cement a now familiar stereotype of Obama’s desire to retrench on the world scene. They follow symbolic apologies for purported past American sins, bowing to foreign royals, and outreach to the likes of Iran and Syria. Abroad, such perceptions can matter as much as reality, as our rivals begin hoping that Obama is as dubious about America’s historically exceptional world role as are they.

In contrast, a robust military keeps the peace by deterring aggressors through the appearance of overwhelming force. We often forget that the appearance of strength in peace is almost as important as the reality of strength in war. When wars end, we scale back (think 1919 or 1946) — only to kick ourselves once tensions arise again out of nowhere, and we must scramble to catch up and rearm for an unimagined World War II or Cold War. America’s armed forces spend about 80 percent of their budgets not on bullets and bombs but on training and compensating soldiers. Often,

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON they do a far better job shaping the minds and character of our youth than do our colleges. Somehow the military can take an 18-year old and teach him to park a $100 million fighter across a carrier deck, but our colleges cannot ensure that his civilian counterpart will show up regularly for classes. Young men and women leave the service debt-free and with skills. Too many of our college students pile up debt and become increasingly angry when, by their mid-20s, they have received neither competitive skills nor real education.

The reason why our deficit is more than $1 trillion is not just that we have multimillion-dollar jet fighters or tens of thousands of Marines.

Defense outlay currently represents only about 20 percent of federal budget expenditures and is below 5 percent of our gross national product. Those percentages are roughly average costs for recent years — despite an ongoing deployment in Afghanistan.

Over the last three years, we have borrowed a record near-$5 trillion for vast unfunded entitlements

— from a spiraling Social Security and Medicare to expanding the food stamp program to include one-seventh of America. Yet many Americans would probably prefer a new frigate manned by highly trained youth to discourage our enemies, rather than another Solyndra-like investment or a near-$1 trillion stimulus aimed at creating “shovelready” jobs.

Unfortunately, defense cuts do not occur in isolation. They feed a syndrome best typified by an insolvent and largely defenseless socialist Europe. The more that prosperous societies cut their defenses to expand social programs, the more the resulting dependency leads to even less defense and ever more benefits. Once the state promises to take care of the citizen, the citizen believes that more subsidies are still never enough. And once voters believe that defense spending is an impediment to greater entitlements, the fewer impediments they will pay for. The net result is something like the squabbling, soon-to-collapse European Union: trillions in unfunded entitlement liabilities, and unable to defend itself.

Many of the new cuts are aimed at the traditional ground forces, given that we are in a high-tech age of missiles, sophisticated drones and coun-

terinsurgency missions. But the nature of war is neither static nor predictable. After World War II, Harry Truman wanted to do away with the Marines — and then was glad he had not when they largely saved the reputation of the U.S. military during the unforeseen disaster in Korea in December 1950. After the Gulf War of 1990-91, we cut back on our ground forces, only to build them back up so that the Marines could deal with enemies in awful places like Anbar Province in Iraq.

The decline of civilizations of the past — fourth-century-B.C. Athens, fifth-century-A.D. Rome, 15th-century Byzantium, or 1930s Western Europe — was not caused by their spending too much money on defense or not spending enough on public entitlements. Rather, their expanding governments redistributed more borrowed money, while a dependent citizenry wanted even fewer soldiers to guarantee ever more handouts.

History’s bleak lesson is that those societies with self-reliant citizens who protect themselves and their interests prosper; those who grow dependent cut back their defenses — and waste away.

oday, I’m going to say some nice things about BP and some not so nice things about the lawyers who are suing BP. Please don’t spill your coffee.

As horrific as the Deepwater Horizon accident was in April 2010 — killing 11 rig employees, while pouring millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico — BP has performed quite admirably in its aftermath. It has spared no expense in cleaning up the oil. It has set aside $1 billion to restore the environment and coastal ecosystem. It underwrote an advertising campaign to lure tourists back to the Gulf Coast. Today, less than two years after the spill, the beaches are sparkling, most fishermen are working, and many of the hotels are full.

At the urging of President Barack Obama, BP also agreed to set up a $20 billion fund to compensate those who could show that they’d been economically harmed by the accident. Ken Feinberg, the former administrator of the Sept. 11 victim compensation fund, was put in charge of the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, as it was named. Feinberg has since paid out $6.3 billion to nearly 200,000 claimants. Daniel Becnel, an attorney who has settled thousands of claims, says that his clients often receive more money from Feinberg than they would have if they had gone to court. “You couldn’t have done a better job than Feinberg did,” says Becnel.

To put it another way, the Gulf Coast Claims Facility has been a remarkably effective alternative to the cumbersome way damages are usually meted out after a corporate accident: through the tort system. Compare it, for instance, with the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska, which took nearly two decades of court battles for the plaintiffs to finally get around $1.3 billion.

Indeed, the whole point of the Gulf Coast fund is to keep cases out of court; in return for compensation, the claimants have to agree not to sue for further damages. There is much that is right with this approach. Victims don’t have to wait years

— or decades — to get their money. The uncertainty of litigation is eliminated. The victims get monetary damages, just as they would if they won a court case, but without the expense of a lawsuit.

They also pay less in legal fees. And if they don’t like what is being offered, well, they can still sue.

It is, as they say, a win-win.

Except, it turns out, for a certain group of plaintiffs’ lawyers who, despite the relative ease of using the claims facility, is insisting on pursuing litigation against BP. They say they have more than 100,000 cases, although none are for big money, like the injured workers’ cases — Feinberg has even settled most of those. For months, these lawyers have been preparing for a “liability trial,” currently set for late February.

DAVID BROOKS time, according to an October New York Times, CBS News poll.

Why don’t Americans trust their government? It’s not because they dislike individual programs like Medicare. It’s more likely because they think the whole system is rigged. Or to put it in the economists’ language, they believe the government has been captured by rent-seekers.

This is the disease that corrodes government at all times and in all places. As George Will wrote in a column in Sunday’s Washington Post, “as government grows, interest groups accumulate, seeking to capture its power and money.”

Some of these rent-seeking groups are corporate types. Will notes that the federal government delivers sugar subsidies that benefit a few rich providers while imposing costs on millions of consumers.

Other rent-seeking groups are dispersed across the political spectrum.

The tax code has been tweaked 4,428 times in the past 10 years, to the benefit of interests of left, right and center.

Others exercise their power trans-

However that trial turns out, it’s largely pointless: BP has already conceded liability, which it has backed with $20 billion. The lawyers’ motive can’t be to get more money than that; it’s far more than any court would ever award. Punitive damages can’t be the reason either: Federal law prevents most of the claimants from getting punitive damages. No, there is only one reason this litigation is taking place. The lawyers want the kind of big fees that only come with big lawsuits. Yet Feinberg’s approach is proving so popular with claimants that many of their cases are evaporating.

So here’s what they did. They went to the federal judge handling the BP litigation and asked him to establish a “reserve” that would be made up of 6 percent of any future claims settled by Feinberg.

They also want 4 percent from any damages Alabama and Louisiana get. The judge, Carl Barbier — a former plaintiffs’ lawyer himself — agreed to do so without even holding a hearing. Eventually, some or all of that reserve would be used to pay the lawyers. That’s right: They are trying to grab fees from clients they’ve never represented. Amazing.

Barbier recently backed away a bit from his ruling and is allowing both sides to file briefs.

When I asked how they could possibly justify this fee grab, I was told that their lawsuit was the main reason Feinberg was willing to be so generous with BP’s money. But Tony Buzbee, another lawyer who has settled many claims through the fund, blew a gasket when I told him that. “They have not done one thing so far that has benefited my clients,” he said. “My clients have chosen not to be a part of their litigation. Why in the world should they have to pay them?”

It’s a good question. The Gulf Coast Claims Facility has the potential to serve as a model for handling future industrial accidents. It has proved that it can compensate victims quickly and fairly without the ordeal and cost of litigation. But, for that to happen, it’s not just companies that have to put aside their greed. So do the lawyers.

parently and democratically. As Will notes, in 2009, the net worth of households headed by senior citizens was 47 times the net worth of households led by people under 35.

Yet seniors use their voting power to protect programs that redistribute even more money from the young to the old and affluent.

You would think that liberals would have a special incentive to root out rent-seeking. Yet this has not been a major priority. There is no Steve Jobs figure in American liberalism insisting that the designers keep government simple, elegant and user-friendly. Sailors scrub their ships. Farmers clear weeds. Democrats have not spent a lot of time scraping barnacles off the state.

Worse, in an attempt to match Republican rhetoric, Democratic politicians are perpetually soiling the name of government for the sake of shortterm gain. How many times have you heard Democrats from Jimmy Carter to Barack Obama running against Washington, accusing it of being insular, shortsighted, corrupt and petty?

If the surgeon himself thinks his tools are rancid, why shouldn’t you?

In the past few weeks, the Obama administration has begun his presidential campaign by picking a series of small fights with the Republicanled House over things like recess ap-

pointments. These vicious squabbles may help Obama in the short term by making him look better than Republicans in Congress. But they will only further discredit Washington over the long run.

Liberalism has not expanded because it has not had a Martin Luther — a leader committed to stripping away the corruptions, complexities and indulgences that have grown up over the years.

If you’ll forgive some outside advice, Obama might consider running for re-election as Luther. It’s not enough to pick a series of small squabbles and then win as the least ugly man in the room. He might run as someone who believes in government but sees how much it needs to be cleansed and purified.

Make the tax code simple. Make job training simple. Make Medicare simple. Every week choose a rentseeker to hold up for ridicule and renunciation. Change the congressional rules. Simplify the legal thickets that undermine responsibility.

If Democrats can’t restore American trust in government, it really doesn’t matter what problems they identify and what plans they propose. No one will believe in the instrument they rely on for solutions.

Democrat agenda weakened by mistrust t’s not because liberalism lacks cultural power. Many polls suggest that a majority of college professors and national journalists vote Democratic. The movie, TV, music and publishing industries are dominated by liberals.

It’s not because recent events have disproved the liberal worldview. On the contrary, we’re still recovering from a financial crisis caused — in large measure — by Wall Street excess. Corporate profits are zooming while worker salaries are flat.

It’s not because liberalism’s opponents are going from strength to strength. The Republican Party is unpopular and sometimes embarrassing.

Given the circumstances, this should be a golden age of liberalism.

Yet the percentage of Americans who call themselves liberals is either flat or in decline. There are now two conservatives in this country for every liberal. Over the past 40 years, liberalism has been incapable at expanding its market share.

The most important explanation is what you might call the “Instrument Problem.” Americans may agree with liberal diagnoses, but they don’t trust the instrument the Democrats use to solve problems. Roughly 10 percent of Americans trust government to do the right thing most of the

THOMAS FRIEDMAN

ith the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood and the even more puritanical Salafist Al Nour Party having stunned both themselves and Egyptians by garnering more than 60 percent of the seats in Egypt’s parliamentary election, we’re about to see a unique lab test for the Middle East: What happens when political Islam has to wrestle with modernity and globalization without oil?

Islamist movements have long dominated Iran and Saudi Arabia. Both the ayatollahs in Iran and the Wahhabi Salafists in Saudi Arabia, though, were able to have their ideology and the fruits of modernity, too, because they had vast oil wealth to buy off any contradictions. Saudi Arabia could underutilize its women and impose strict religious mores on its society, banks and schools. Iran’s clerics could snub the world, pursue nuclearization and impose heavy political and religious restrictions. And both could still offer their people improved living standards, because they had oil.

Egypt’s Islamist parties will not have that luxury. They will have to open up to the world, and they seem to be realizing that. Egypt is a net importer of oil. It also imports 40 percent of its food. And tourism constitutes 10 percent of its gross domestic product.

With unemployment rampant and the Egyptian pound eroding, Egypt will probably need assistance from the International Monetary Fund, a major injection of foreign investment and a big upgrade in modern education to provide jobs for all those youths who organized last year’s rebellion. Egypt needs to be integrated with the world.

The Muslim Brotherhood — whose party is called Freedom and Justice — draws a lot of support from the middle classes and small businesses.

The Salafist Al Nour Party is dominated by religious sheiks and the rural and urban poor.

Essam el-Erian, the vice chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood’s party, made very clear that while both Freedom and Justice and Al Nour are Islamist parties, they are very different, and they may not join hands in power: “As a political group, they are newcomers, and I hope all can wait to discover the difference between Al Nour and Freedom and Justice.”

But generally speaking, he said, Egypt’s economic plight “is pushing us to be concerned about our own affairs.”

Muhammad Khairat El-Shater, the vice chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood and its economic guru, made clear to me over strawberry juice at his home that his organization intends to lean into the world. “It is no longer a matter of choice whether one can be with or against globalization,” he said. “It is a reality. From our perspective, we favor the widest possible engagement with globalization through win-win situations.”

Nader Bakkar, a spokesman for Al Nour, insisted that his party would move cautiously. “We are the guardians of Shariah,” he told me, referring to Islamic law, “and we want people to be with us on the same principles, but we have an open door to all the intellectuals in all fields.”

Agence France-Presse quoted another spokesman for Al Nour, Muhammad Nour, as also dismissing fears raised in the news media that the Salafists might ban alcohol, a staple of Egypt’s tourist hotels. “Maybe 20,000 out of 80 million Egyptians drink alcohol,” he said. “Forty million don’t have sanitary water. Do you think that, in Parliament, I’ll busy myself with people who don’t have water, or people who get drunk?”

What to make of all this? Egyptian Islamists have some big decisions.

It has been easy to maintain a high degree of ideological purity all these years they’ve been out of power. But their sudden rise to the top of Egyptian politics coincides with the free fall of Egypt’s economy. And as soon as Parliament is seated on Jan. 23, Egypt’s Islamists will have the biggest responsibility for fixing that economy — without oil.

They don’t want to blow this chance to lead, yet they want to be true to their Islamic roots, yet they know their supporters elected them to deliver clean government, education and jobs, not mosques.

Book places executive success Latest in V.I. series in White House’s East Wing taps into ‘Twilight’ culture

“The Obamas”

By Jodi Kantor (Little, Brown, 368 pgs., $29.99

By Jeffrey Burke Bloomberg News

The endpapers provide maps of the White House, while the front cover shows the First Couple’s heads in beaming clinch. On the back they’re walking from a well-lit room into a dark hallway, eyes down, mouths somber.

The iconography that frames Jodi Kantor’s “The Obamas” (Little, Brown; $29.99) is as curious as her tale of Barack and Michelle’s first 1,000 days: a mix of personal and political, of diary and elegy that assays “the impact of their partnership ... on the presidency, the job of first lady, and Kantor the nation.”

Kantor, a New York Times reporter, staked her claim to this turf when she wrote of “the centrality of the Obama marriage to the president’s brand” in a 2009 feature for the newspaper’s Sunday magazine. She ended the article by wondering whether they would learn if “their marriage can both embrace politics and also at some level stay free of it.”

If you’re scratching your head wondering how two Harvard Law graduates who had already shared his stints as state and U.S. senator could stay free of politics while living in the White House, you’ll want to keep your hand in that position.

The Obamas’ apolitical hope springs eternal in Kantor’s view, stoking frustration for them, sowing dysfunction among their staffs and playing a large part in the president’s uneven record.

‘An uncomfortable fit’ Kantor’s recap of the preWhite House Obamas quickly establishes that politics was “an uncomfortable fit” for both of them. The political process Barack found in both senates was slow, rule-bound, short-sighted. Michelle hated the long separations caused by campaigning, and she shared her husband’s sense that little could be accomplished in those chambers.

Once they moved to the capital, the Obamas seemed most in tune with each other and out of sync with realpolitik when it came to the health care bill. It fit “with their shared sense of mission — their joint idea that the president’s career was not

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrive at the White House in December 2011. In a new book, New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor outlines the inner workings of the White House within the context of the president and the first lady’s marriage.

Even the Nobel Peace Prize seems “to underscore an idea Obama chafed against: the main accomplishment of his presidency might be his election.” about pursuing day-to-day political victories” but about fundamental change, “about access, opportunity and fairness.”

How did the president nourish his vision, according to Kantor?

He wouldn’t schmooze for support on the measure and wouldn’t listen to Democratic legislators saying the bill couldn’t pass.

He neglected a special election for Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat in deep-blue Massachusetts and lost it, along with “the Democratic supermajority that was supposed to enable the passage of the health care legislation, along with the rest of the president’s agenda.”

Facing disaster in the midterm elections, he sparked “the ire of congressional Democrats” for refusing to campaign more.

Kantor shows how the first lady, with her East Wing crew, carved out a role in the White House drawn partly from being Mrs. President, partly from her own smarts and grit.

She raised her voice to criticize the guest list for the president’s first Super Bowl party.

She defined exactly how much she would campaign for the

health care bill and the midterms, which was not much.

Her Let’s Move! campaign against childhood obesity helped persuade Wal-Mart to cut “fats, sugars and salt in the foods it sold.” Another program boosted support for the spouses and children of those in the military.

“Each Michelle Obama public appearance created an average of $14 million in overall value as measured by the stock prices of the companies that made the clothing she wore,” according to a New York University professor. Yet media coverage of a trip to Spain focused on her designer clothes and the cost of operating the Air Force jet she flew, “$11,351 an hour.”

Dark moments linger Kantor acknowledges that the president passed “an extraordinary amount of legislation,” including the health care bill, but the dark moments seem to linger. He misspeaks on the underwear bomber and shifts on a central Guantanamo promise.

His Oval Office speech on the Gulf oil spill reveals his frayed ties to the people. The U.S. credit rating gets downgraded. The tea party and all its Mad Hatters emerge to be-

Scroll’s publication provides rare glimpse at ancient Chinese culture “Qingming Shang He Tu”

By Zhang Zeduan (Better Link Press, Shanghai / Tuttle Publishing, VT, 52 pgs., $55)

By Tish Wells McClatchy-Tribune News Service

A Chinese treasure, the “Qingming Shan He Tu” or “Scenes along the River during the Qingming Festival” scroll, can now be seen by all.

The Better Link Press’ book reproduction gives those with an interest in Chinese history a chance to enjoy this work of art now kept safely in the Palace Museum in Beijing.

The scroll looks back almost a thousand years ago to the then-capital of China, the sophisticated city of Bianjing.

The occasion is the Qingming Festival, a spring holiday when the Chinese visit to tend

their ancestors’ graves.

The artist and author Zhang Zeduan was a court painter for Emperor Huizong of the Song dynasty, in the early 1100s, roughly around time of Second Crusade in the West.

In “Scenes along the River during the Qingming Festival”

by Zhang Zeuan, the author has reproduced the 16-foot scroll in a unique fashion. The pages of “Scenes” unfold like a scroll. Readers lift out the first page and find that it’s one long sheet of paper, a continuous story.

Below the reproduction of the scroll are clarifying footnotes. For example, on one page there is a stone boat, a

woman on horseback, and a restaurant. Below the picture is the explanation: “The restaurant is located right on the river, with a balcony supported by posts overhanging the water. Tables and benches are set up on the balcony. The balcony not only expands the business area but is also handy for customers on boats and has the added benefit of a view.”

The book reproduces the scroll’s end pages replete with “chops” or seals of the various owners, including the last emperor of China, Pu-yi.

There are comments from a thousand years of owners.

Poets from the Jin Dynasty — 1115 to 1234 A.D. While this book may have a limited audience, it’s a rich treasure trove for anyone interested in Chinese art and history.

devil him.

Even the Nobel Peace Prize seems “to underscore an idea Obama chafed against: the main accomplishment of his presidency might be his election.”

The president returned to eloquent form in the speech he gave after January’s shooting of Gabrielle Giffords. And the killing of Osama bin Laden in May was a triumph. In her closing pages, Kantor also notes signs that the dysfunction is easing, as the president starts politicking and roles are clarified.

Kantor’s chronicle can be read just for the key points of the 1,000 or so days following Obama’s election and some intriguing behind-the-scenes glimpses of what went awry.

There are strange moments of a gee-whiz tone that sounds forced from a seasoned reporter, and a few signs of haste in the proofreading. These are minor issues to trade for the freshness of a narration that concludes only four months ago.

Kantor unavoidably accepts limitations in the theme of the Obamas’ marriage. By rarely losing sight of the first lady, she sacrifices a more-detailed look at the West Wing. The book gains considerably, though, from its well-observed, sympathetic portrait of Michelle.

Still, whichever Wing you favor, or blame, in this historical drama, there’s little in “The Obamas” to make one expect a second act.

It hardly seems possible that 30 years have passed since Sara Paretsky introduced Chicago private detective V.I. Warshawski in “Indemnity Only,” and helpedchange the mystery/ thriller genre forever.

“Breakdown,” V.I.’s 30th anniversary novel, continues the approach that Paretsky has always followed — melding current events, politics and gumshoe detecting.

“Breakdown’s” riveting plot mixes the mania for vampire and supernatural novels — especially among tweens and virulent TV broadcasters — tabloid journalism, xenophobia and dirty politics.

In “Breakdown,” V.I. heads to a cemetery to round up a group of middle school girls who sneaked away after curfew. The girls belong to the Carmilla Club, which follows the novels about a shape-shifting raven. The girls’ initiation ritual is interrupted by V.I. who also finds the body of a man stabbed a few feet away. V.I. wants to get all the girls away from the cemetery before the cops arrive, but she is especially concerned about the media learning the identity of two of the girls — the daughter of a liberal U.S. Senate candidate; and the granddaughter of a wealthy Jewish businessman.

Intense suspense complements the complex plot, which never slows down. Paretsky skillfully juggles the myriad story threads, while never making the “Breakdown” feel overloaded.

V.I.’s quest for justice continues to be a highlight of this series as Paretsky continues to show new aspects of the detective. Fundamentally, V.I.’s values have never changed but she has become more multi-faceted.

‘General Who Lost Vietnam’ is searing

Author’s debut lengthy, insightful “American Dervish”

By Ayad Akhtar (Little, Brown & Co., 357 pgs., $24.99)

By Adam Langer New York Times News Service

“Westmoreland: The General Who Lost Vietnam”

by Lewis Sorley (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 416 pgs., $30)

By Tony Perry Los Angeles Times

Reading Lewis Sorley’s scalding biography of Army Gen. William Westmoreland, “Westmoreland: The General Who Lost Vietnam,” is like watching a slow-motion replay of an oncoming train wreck.

The result of this collision is known: failure of the U.S. military mission, 58,000-plus dead Americans, the U.S. divided and at political war with itself, a onceproud military left tarnished, exhausted and in disrepute.

Sorley, a West Point graduate and retired Army lieutenant colonel, is unsparing in his analysis of Westmoreland, the top U.S. general in Vietnam from 1964 to 1968 and then Army chief of staff in the latter years of the war.

In Sorley’s view, the general whose rock-like jaw and prominent eyebrows made him look like a Hollywood casting agent’s dream of a military leader was arrogant, duplicitous, vain and not altogether smart. When he arrived in Saigon, there were 16,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam; when he left there were 535,000. In between, Westmoreland delivered a litany of speeches and statements asserting that the war against the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong was being won.

With copious use of interviews and after-action docu-

ments, Sorley reports on Westmoreland’s disdain for the Vietnamese forces, his feuds with the Marine Corps and Air Force, and his unwavering belief that the war could be won with overwhelming U.S. firepower. He took credit for victories and sidestepped responsibility for defeats.

If Sorley’s detailed, relentless reporting on Westmoreland’s years in Vietnam and the Pentagon are devastating, his chapters on Westmoreland after retiring from the Army are even more so. Like some Ancient Mariner, the general roamed the land preaching his view of what went wrong in Vietnam, trying to reclaim the reputation that had once made him Time magazine’s man of the year.

Westmoreland died on July 18, 2005, at 91, after a life that had great success — battlefield leader in World War II and Korea, at 42 the youngest two-star general in the Army, innovative superintendent of West Point — but “turned out to be indefinitely sad.”

If America wants to fully understand the war in Vietnam, it has to understand Westmoreland, Sorley asserts. He made the war into an American war.

Even if they have not yet read this book, you can bet that the Army and Marine generals running the war in Afghanistan have studied the lessons of Westmoreland’s failed command.

Sanger biography pulls no punches, touts her exploits “Margaret Sanger: A Life of Passion”

By Jean H. Baker (Hill and Wang, 368 pgs., $35)

By Craig Seligman Bloomberg News

In the arena of political action, the people with the drive to get things done aren’t always the ones with the nice personalities.

“Unyielding, relentless and egotistical” is how a supporter described Margaret Sanger — though she added, “in a way that was wonderful to behold.”

In “Margaret Sanger: A Life of Passion,” historian Jean Baker chronicles the life of the driving force behind Planned Parenthood — an activist whose single-minded ferocity was decisive in making birth-control information and, ultimately, the pill itself available to U.S. women. According to Baker, Sanger was fantastically admirable and at the same time gratingly unlikable.

But she was evidently lovable. “Never be ashamed of passion,” Sanger advised young women in her 1926 “Happiness in Marriage.”

“If you are strongly sexed, you are richly endowed.”

Apparently she was. “One should always be in a state of love,” she was insisting in her 70s. She had two husbands, and I lost count of what Baker calls her “catalog of lovers.”

The arc of Sanger’s life is, for a reader, extremely satisfying. On the first page Baker calls her “one of those rare, signal reformers who live long enough to celebrate the acceptance of their cause,” and later she elaborates: “Sanger’s life spanned — from her birth in 1879, six years after the passage of the Comstock law, to 1966 and its overturning — the entire judicial history of contraception’s legal course.”

The law she’s referring to was named for Anthony Comstock, a fundamentalist wacko who arrived in New York from Connecticut shortly after the Civil War and, horrified by what he found going on there

Stan Rudick / Bloomberg News

Historian Jean Baker is the author of a biography of Margaret Sanger.

(“lust — the boon companion of all other crimes”), began a campaign against all things sexual.

In 1873, he cowed a Congress exhausted and demoralized by the scandals of the Grant administration into enacting the “Suppression of Trade in and Circulation of Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use.” It was a draconian law that criminalized not only erotica, sex toys and condoms but also all information relating to birth control, including the provision of it by doctors to their patients — under any circumstances.

Sanger was arrested in August 1914 for distributing copies of her pro-contraception magazine, The Woman Rebel, and again in 1916 for opening a clinic in Brownsville, Brooklyn, that dispersed the forbidden knowledge. The clinic was the progenitor of today’s 800 Planned Parenthood facilities. But she always knew how to profit from her setbacks. The 30 days she spent in jail, Baker writes, made her “birth control’s martyr.”

Baker is a conscientious, judicious biographer — too judicious for my taste, given the explosiveness of her material.

What a pleasure to encounter a first novel as self-assured and effortlessly told as Ayad Akhtar’s “American Dervish.”

Akhtar, a first-generation Pakistani-American, has written an immensely entertaining coming-of-age story set during the early 1980s among the Pakistanis in the author’s hometown, Milwaukee.

Hayat Shah, an impressionable adolescent and the only child of a well-to-do, secular family, finds his comfortable existence upended by the arrival of his mother’s childhood friend Mina Ali and her son Imran, who have fled a life of abuse and repression in Pakistan. Mina, a strikingly beautiful woman and a fan of Henry Miller and F. Scott Fitzgerald, captivates Hayat by schooling him in her liberal interpretations of the Quran; she inspires the boy’s spiritual awakening at a time that coincides uneasily with his sexual awakening, particularly after Hayat observes Mina fall in love with a well-meaning but deeply naive Jewish radiologist named Nathan Wolfsohn, who works alongside Hayat’s father.

Akhtar’s astute observations of the clashes between old world and new — between secular and sacred — among immigrants might seem familiar to readers of both contemporary and classic literature.

Strong thematic affinities and plot parallels exist between

this work and more than a handful of others — “The Namesake,” by Jhumpa Lahiri; “Love Marriage,” by V.V. Ganeshananthan; and Pauls Toutonghi’s “Red Weather,” a 2006 comedy about Latvians in Milwaukee, spring to mind.

At times, Akhtar seems also to be putting a modern Muslim spin on earlier stories of Jewish assimilation; his yearning and conflicted young hero suggests a PG-13 version of a Philip Roth character or a more repressed version of Eugene Jerome, Neil Simon’s alter ego in “Brighton Beach Memoirs.”

But what distinguishes Akhtar’s novel is its generosity and its willingness to embrace the contradictions of its memorably idiosyncratic characters and the society they inhabit. The family patriarch, Naveed Shah, is an accomplished and street-smart doctor and a devoted father, despite his penchants for rage, alcohol and philandering.

Hayat’s mother, Muneer, is a philo-Semitic Freudian psychologist who nevertheless warns her son against ever getting involved with a white woman. Mina, even though she loves Western literature and culture, particularly the TV show “Dallas” and its star Linda Gray, jettisons love in favor of faith. Like the “dervish” of Akhtar’s title — an ascetic who, according to Mina, “gives up everything for Allah” — she ultimately succumbs to an emotionally

impoverished existence.

Caught between childhood and maturity, between lust and self-abnegation, Hayat himself is a dizzying whirl of paradoxes; he is briefly drawn to the most virulent rants spoken in his community — never mind the fact that, in fourth grade, his best friend was a Jewish boy named Jason Blum, whom Hayat comforted after the boy was besieged by jeering anti-Semites.

Akhtar is particularly adept at depicting the tensions between Jews and Muslims in pre-Sept. 11 America, and he does not shy away from mocking the misogynistic or anti-Semitic beliefs among the more radical Muslims. An influential Milwaukee pharmacist speaks favorably of Hitler, while the imam at the local Islamic Center preaches of the “loathsome” self-love exhibited by the Jewish people.

Naveed regards some of the most revered practitioners of Islam as crooks, clowns, and “stooges.”

“These people are idiots,” he tells his friend Wolfsohn when the doctor’s plan to convert to Islam for Mina’s sake goes horrifically wrong.

Meanwhile a model Islamic youth named Farhaz Hassan, revered by Hayat for his ability to memorize scripture, turns out to be distinctly nonobservant, reminiscent of Tom Sawyer trying to impress Becky Thatcher by pretending to have learned great swaths of biblical verse. Memorizing the Quran, Farhaz announces, was like “drinking castor oil every day for three years.”

Yet for all the rage and sat-

ire contained within its pages, Akhtar’s novel is far from an antireligious screed in the tradition of Christopher Hitchens. It is instead admirably restrained, deeply appreciative of some aspects of Islam and ultimately far more interested in raising provocative questions than in definitively answering them.

A flawless work? No, not entirely. Although Akhtar is a gifted writer, he can occasionally lapse into overly self-conscious or portentous phrasings: “Like the odor of masala lingering along our hallways, the expectation of unhappiness hovered in the air we breathed,” he writes at one point. He studied film directing at Columbia University and, during a few dramatic plot twists, the reader can sense him blocking his characters’ actions too forcefully. And Akhtar’s climax feels rushed, briefly summarizing dramatic events that might well have benefited from a more leisurely telling.

Although “American Dervish” is 357 pages long, those pages fly by, and some added length wouldn’t have harmed the narrative.

Finally, the novel’s coy epilogue hints too obviously at a second installment about how, as an adult, Hayat falls in love with a Jewish woman.

“Our wonderful and troubled interfaith romance is a tale for another time,” Akhtar writes.

But it is to the author’s credit that this reader was left hungering to read that sequel, one, it is hoped, that will prove to be every bit as heartfelt as this charming debut.

‘Would It Kill You’ a satirical etiquette guide “Would It Kill You To Stop Doing That?: A Modern Guide To Manners”

By Henry Alford (Twelve, 242 pgs., $24.99)

By Charles Isherwood New York Times News Service

Is it a breach of good manners to mislead folks just a little if you are going to show them a good time?

The question arises after a brisk and happy trot through Henry Alford’s new book, “Would It Kill You to Stop Doing That?” Nestled under the cheeky title — a thought that skitters frequently through the mind of even the most well-mannered during, say, the holiday season, and must be stopped in its tracks before being uttered or shrieked — is a more sober subtitle: “A Modern Guide to Manners.”

The implicit promise of thorough and up-to-date instruction in how to behave isn’t entirely fulfilled by Alford’s book. Readers looking for an organized primer on which proverbial fork to use in a world that is tossing off new etiquette challenges in tandem with the hurtling pace of technological change may be disappointed. For such deep-bore reference, both Alford and I would probably recommend one of several books by Judith Martin, aka Miss Manners.

As he freely admits, Alford is a part-time manners maven driven by the zeal of the obsessed amateur. Giving an informal tour of the world of what to do and what not to do, his book does give assorted useful advice. For instance: “No individual should congratulate a woman on her pregnancy until that woman has announced that she is indeed pregnant,” a gaffe I’ve witnessed that caused mortified silences all around.

But at bottom, Alford is a full-time humorist, the author of “How to Live: A Search for Wisdom From Old People (While They Are Still on This Earth)” and a frequent contributor to various publications.

His slim but lively meditation on manners is far more wittyanecdote-driven and personal than pedagogical.

Unlike most manners manuals, the book is not divided into discrete sections dealing with the major potholes of bad conduct in the modern world. Consulting the index wouldn’t offer too much help in this department, either; the rubric “manners” and its attendant list of references takes up only one of its eight thorough pages.

He makes a fine argument that practicing good manners today is not an elitist exercise but rather its opposite. “The essence of good manners is not exclusivity, nor exclusion of any kind, but sensitivity,” he sensibly writes. “To practice good manners is to confer upon others not just consideration but esteem; it’s to bathe others in a commodity best described by noted speller Aretha Franklin.”

Alford is very funny in describing his conversion from passive recipient of bad behavior to active if subtle scold, as when he points up the widening apology vacuum in modern culture by making amends to people who should by all rights be apologizing to him. When a grocery checkout woman drops an apple on the floor and then blithely puts it in the bag without acknowledging the gaffe, Alford sweetly tells her, “Sorry about that — I really didn’t mean for you to drop that.”

“Would It Kill You” is well stocked with similar oddities and anecdotes culled from Alford’s research into the subject,

as well as from random chats with friends and acquaintances. Some digressions are more engaging than others.

The book concludes, a little limply, with chapters detailing Alford’s initial efforts at advice giving — via Facebook — and tales of his charitable volunteer work offering guided tours of his New York neighborhood to visiting tourists.

Alford is particularly fine and funny on how to conduct proper party conversation, a skill he has clearly spent time

‘MWF’ chronicles woman’s search for friendship “MWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend”

By Rachel Bertsche (Ballantine, 386 pgs., $15)

By Julia Keller Chicago Tribune

The Boston Globe file photo

Mitt Romney, left, and William Bain Jr., right, are pictured at Bain & Company Inc.’s Boston offices in 1990. Romney amassed his $350 million fortune at Bain Capital, and earned a reputation as a formidable deal maker. Bain Capital is one of the nation’s five largest private equity firms.

Private equity Continued from F1 “We were bracing ourselves for this, but we’re not even in the general election yet,” said a senior private equity executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “Expect more pain.”

Just as Romney and his advisers are defending his work at Bain, the industry is also trying to blunt some of the attacks. For a group of Wall Street executives who prefer to operate out of the spotlight, the repercussions could be considerable. Among the things the industry wants to preserve is favorable tax treatment for profits on private equity deals.

“There is a lot of misinformation being spread, purely for political purposes and on both sides of the aisle, as it pertains to private equity,” Steve Judge, interim president and chief executive of the industry’s lobbying group — the Private Equity Growth Capital Council — said Monday as the attacks mounted in New Hampshire.

The council will roll out an image campaign soon, according to two people with direct knowledge of the plans who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss them publicly.

Economists differ on the effectiveness and impact of private equity firms, which often borrow large amounts of debt to buy companies before selling them, hopefully for a profit. Despite the critics and the defenses mounted by the industry, the research is a little less than clear, partly because much of what these companies do is private and not subject to full disclosure.

A working paper released in September shows that private equity-owned companies shed slightly more jobs than similar companies, though the difference was quite small. In total, they shed about 1 percent more jobs.

The study — by Steven Davis of the University of Chicago; John Haltiwanger of the University of Maryland; Josh Lerner of Harvard, and Ron Jarmin and Javier Miranda of the Census Bureau — looked at about 3,200 buyouts conducted between 1980 and 2005.

It found that companies bought by private equity firms let go a larger proportion of workers than similar firms, shrinking their workforces about 6 percent more over a five-year window. But companies bought by private equity firms also tend to open more new branches, offices and factories and hire more new staff members, partly offsetting the job losses.

Good economic sense in the long term Some economists also argue that private equity takeovers make good economic sense in the long term, even if they result in more layoffs in the short term, by making companies more efficient.

“Private equity firms have an impact on productivity,” said R. Glenn Hubbard, the dean of the Columbia Business School and one of Romney’s economic advisers. “That doesn’t mean that people don’t lose their jobs. But the question of whether private equity adds value? It’s settled among economists.”

This is not the first time that the industry has come under fire.

In 2007, the world’s largest firms — including Bain Capital — formed the private

equity trade group at the peak of the buyout boom. That year, the industry became a symbol of corporate greed and excess — in part a result of the lucrative initial public offering of the Blackstone Group and a lavish 60th birthday party thrown by its chief executive, Stephen Schwarzman.

Congress also homed in on what it saw as tax advantages enjoyed by Schwarzman and his private equity peers.

The trade group, originally called the Private Equity Council, fought back and has continued to lobby aggressively against raising their taxes. It has so far succeeded in holding off any tax increase on private equity executives, though Congress is expected to again raise the issue this year.

Once a group of the 11 largest buyout shops, the PEC expanded its membership ranks in 2010 and changed its name to the Private Equity Growth Capital Council. The council’s rebranding, and recruitment of smaller firms, was an attempt to promote the industry as doing more than leveraged buyouts.

Its upcoming image campaign will include online advertising to promote the industry as one that creates jobs and grows companies, highlighting success stories with videos of workers and executives praising private equity.

CHICAGO — During an appearance in late December on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” Jane Fonda was asked which man from her past she would choose to accompany her to a desert island.

Would she select a famous ex-spouse like Ted Turner or Tom Hayden? Or would this be the moment when Fonda spilled the beans about some long-ago liaison with a heretofore unknown beau for whom she still pines?

To Morgan’s obvious disappointment, Fonda chose: None of the Above.

“My girlfriends,” she replied.

Rachel Bertsche can relate.

The 29-year-old writer discovered just how important female friendships are to her life when she moved to Chicago in 2007. She and her husband, Matt, knew a few people when they relocated for his job with a law firm — she’d been an editor with Oprah Winfrey’s magazine in New York; he’d finished law school in Philadelphia — but not enough to fill the dance card of an acceptable social life.

So Bertsche took to the streets. She hunted down girlfriends using newfangled social media as well as that 21st century version of a quilting bee: yoga class. Each week for a year, she made a date with a potential best pal, keeping her fingers crossed that she’d made a connection.

And she records her experiences in a funny, spirited new book, “MWF Seeking

Bain Capital drops out of private equity council Last year, Bain Capital dropped out of the council.

Bain’s partners decided to leave because of dissatisfaction with the group’s direction and the belief that its annual dues of nearly $1 million a year could be better spent elsewhere, according to a person with direct knowledge of the firm’s thinking.

Romney’s candidacy, combined with Bain’s withdrawal, has complicated the council’s efforts, said two people with direct knowledge of its work.

Recent criticism of the industry has been focused on Bain, but the council has resisted directly refuting those attacks. It wants to remain nonpartisan and not appear in any way to be supporting Romney’s candidacy.

Some of the country’s top private equity executives — Hamilton James of Blackstone and David Bonderman of TPG Capital among them — are Democratic donors.

The “private equity is evil” narrative first emerged during the 1980s, when buyout executives began using large amounts of debt to buy companies. They were branded as “barbarians at the gate” — the title of a book about the takeover of RJR Nabisco by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.

In 1994, Romney learned firsthand the power of a negative attack on private equity.

That year, he started his political career in Massachusetts by challenging Sen. Edward Kennedy. He promoted his record of job creation and building businesses at Bain.

Kennedy turned the tables on Romney by focusing on American Pad and Paper — or Ampad — a company that shed jobs and cut wages under Bain’s ownership. The Kennedy campaign played television ads featuring laid-off Ampad employees.

Romney later acknowledged that he was unprepared for the private equity assault.

“He characterized me as a coldhearted, unfeeling robber baron,” Romney said at the time, in an interview with The Boston Globe.

COME SEE US AT

BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend.”

“Friendship is such an important aspect of our lives,” Bertsche said in a recent interview. “But we tend to think of friendship as a luxury — something we fit into our lives if we have time after career and family.”

Rarely is it discussed with much seriousness or intellectual rigor, Bertsche noted. For one thing, the need for friends often goes unacknowledged because nobody wants to come across as a shunned loser.

Moreover, the world is preoccupied with romantic love; the fact that Bertsche had that part covered means that people expected her to be satisfied. Friends — so the world believes — are the parsley, not the entree.

And yet Bertsche’s intriguing book reminds us of an unpleasant reality: Female friendships don’t count.

They’re cute and funny and wacky and winsome — but in the arts, they’re not often portrayed with the gravitas routinely afforded male friendships. Men are shown bonding while getting shot at in war; women, while getting their nails done.

Bertsche knew that exploring female friendship in a book was fraught with peril.

“When people asked me what I was writing about, I didn’t want to say,” she admitted, fearful lest they envision “hearts and BFF necklaces.

There’s a lot more to it than that.”

As she discusses in her book, friends are vitally important to both sexes — but not for the same reasons.

That’s just one of the insights you can glean from Bertsche’s account of her 12-month quest to find a best buddy.

“Most of us are embarrassed to say, ‘I need friends!’

We think, ‘Do I really want to say that to the world?’”

THE WAGE GAP

Postal ties that bind

• Taking parking lots as seriously as public spaces

• Small-town residents fight for post offices, community survival

By Michael Kimmelman New York Times News Service

By Campbell Robertson

There are said to be at least 105 million and maybe as many as 2 billion parking spaces in the United States.

A third of them are in parking lots, those asphalt deserts that we claim to hate but that proliferate for our convenience. One study says we’ve built eight parking spots for every car in the country. Houston is said to have 30 of them per resident. In “Rethinking a Lot,” a new study of parking, due out in March, Eran Ben-Joseph, a professor of urban planning at MIT, points out that “in some U.S. cities, parking lots cover more than a third of the land area, becoming the single most salient landscape feature of our built environment.”

Absent hard numbers, Ben-Joseph settles on a compromise of 500 million parking spaces in the country, occupying some 3,590 square miles, or an area larger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined. If the correct number is 2 billion, we’re talking about four times that: Connecticut and Vermont.

Either way it’s a lot of pavement.

“The right to have access to every building in the city by private motorcar in an age when everyone possesses such a vehicle is the right to destroy the city.”

— Lewis Mumford, American historian, critic of urban architecture

As the critic Lewis Mumford wrote half a century ago, “The right to have access to every building in the city by private motorcar in an age when everyone possesses such a vehicle is the right to destroy the city.” Yet we continue to produce parking lots, in cities as well as in suburbs, in the same way we consume all those billions of plastic bottles of water and disposable diapers.

What to do?

For starters we ought to take these lots more seriously, architecturally. Many architects and urban planners don’t. Beyond greener designs and the occasional celebrityarchitect garage, we need to think more about these lots as public spaces, as part of the infrastructure of our streets and sidewalks, places for various activities that may change and evolve, because not all good architecture is permanent. Hundreds of lots already are taken over by farmers’ markets, street-hockey games, teenage partiers and church services. We need to recognize and encourage diversity.

This is the idea behind Parking Day, a global event, around since 2005, which invites anybody and everybody to transform metered lots. Each year participants have adapted hundreds of them in dozens of countries, setting up temporary health clinics and bike-repair shops, having seminars and weddings.

Income differences between male and female lawyers was a topic of conversation during the Cascade Women Lawyers lunch at Anthony’s Restaurant in Bend on Wednesday.

InOregon, her paycheckisless

By Rachael Rees The Bulletin

In the summer of 1990, Laura Craska Cooper was working at a law firm when she first experienced gender discrimination in the legal profession.

“I was told I was too aggressive for a female lawyer,” she said. “Not a lawyer, a female lawyer.”

Cooper, 45, has worked as a lawyer for 21 years and is managing partner at the Bend office of Ball Janik LLP, a Portland-based firm.

“I was shocked because I was in litigation, which is where you’re supposed to Cooper vigorously defend your clients’ rights and position (in court),” Cooper said.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the national wage gap between men and women’s earnings is highest in the legal occupations, with women making about 58 percent of men’s earnings.

While women’s participation in the workforce, along with earnings have increased over the past several decades, their wages generally fall below what men get paid in the same industry, according to state and federal labor statistics.

The gender wage gap In 1980, women had a weekly earnings average of 64.2 percent of a men’s weekly earnings. By 2010, that gap had narrowed to 82.1 percent.

FOX, Ark. — People over a certain age here remember what happened to Mozart.

It sat there perfectly content for years, a little community on a crooked mountain road in the southern Ozarks. Then one day they closed the post office. Now Mozart is a place on the road where only those who knew it was there would know it was there. The same thing happened with Newnata, Rushing and Cozahome.

But if the people in Fox have a say, it will not happen again, at least not here.

“There are those who have been downtrodden so long, they can’t get back up,” said Stanley Morrison, 59, a logger and a justice of the peace here in rural Stone County. “And there are others who’ve been downtrodden so long they decide to fight back.”

Along with the residents of other tiny towns, from Challenge, Calif., to Economy, Ind., the people of Fox learned last summer that their post office was being studied for possible closing by the U.S. Postal Service. It was one of the more than 3,600 deemed by postal authorities to have too little a workload — less than $27,500 annual revenue is one such measurement — or to be too close to another office to justify keeping open by an agency that is billions in debt and facing a steeply and steadily declining revenue stream.

The response, here as elsewhere, has been swift. Letters have been sent, petitions drawn up. People have taken day trips to their representatives’ offices, bringing so much political pressure that Congress persuaded the Postal Service last month to declare a moratorium on the closings until May.

While Cooper said she’s never experienced gender disparity at Ball Janik LLP, she said she’s both experienced and witnessed it throughout her career.

“Did I feel the glass ceiling? Absolutely,” she said.

Lawyers working at large firms generally make more money, Cooper said, but men are typically in the positions of power at those firms, which can inhibit women’s connections.

Cooper said she lacked a mentor earlier in her career to show her the ropes and help her make connections, making it difficult to rise to the top.

“People tend to share their clients and provide work to those lawyers they have an affinity for,” she said. “(It) makes it difficult for women when men are the majority of the leaders because men typically mentor other men.”

Greek yogurt soothes the American market • Popularity of rich, healthy snack bringing jobs to U.S.

Your resolutions a boon for business Yogurt containers at the Chobani plant in New Berlin, N.Y.

• Another year of nicotine gum, diet plans or gym memberships

By William Neuman New York Times News Service

By Natasha Singer

Sales of Greek yogurt are booming, benefiting from a perception that the food is healthier than regular yogurt and other snacks. “It’s an indulgent texture, but it’s also guilt-free,” said David Browne, a senior analyst for Mintel International Group, a consumer research firm.

Greek yogurt has certainly been healthy for the economy in New York. Two of the leading brands, Chobani and Fage, have their main production plants in upstate New York and are expanding their operations.

Alpina Foods, the United States arm of a major South American dairy company, is building a $20 million plant in Batavia to make Greek yogurt topped with granola.

And state economic development officials are negotiating with another major food maker to set up a dairy products plant in the same area, creating the possibility for what one executive called a “yogurt cluster.”

Often twice as expensive as regular yogurt, Greek yogurt has most of the water and whey strained out,

Closures

The local post office shares space with the local grocery store in the rural town of Tilly, Ark.

Continued from G1 Still, McKinney Boyd, a spokesman for the Postal Service, said the process would pick right back up at the end of the moratorium. “We understand that many people in small communities are extremely passionate about their post offices, but at the same time we’re losing more than $23 million a day,� he said. “With those kinds of losses the Postal Service has to look at ways to offset its expenses.�

Fighting back The resistance movement here has been led by Renee Carr, the director of the Rural Community Alliance, a nonprofit group. She has filed public records requests, badgered elected officials, made a YouTube video and created a chart of the local post office’s revenues, which, she says, is more accurate than the figures she managed to obtain, at long last and with the help of a U.S. senator, from the postal authorities.

She has been joined in her campaign by a dogged brigade of retired postmasters, waging similar fights in little communities and four-building towns across Arkansas, where roughly a third of post offices are on the list of possible closings.

The campaigners mount their defense of the rural post office on practical grounds, as the place where the elderly have their medications sent, where those living on remote mountain roads far outside town keep a letter box, where the Pentecostals who do not look kindly on computers conduct much of their business and where postmasters discreetly read letters for the customers who are unable to do so themselves.

These arguments are bolstered by what data they can get their hands on. While Carr and others acknowledge that rural post offices generally run at a steep deficit, they take issue with the calculations used by the Postal Service to make its decisions about closings — a criticism also raised by the Postal Regulatory Commission in a recent report.

The deeper anxiety is an existential one. Prim, Tilly, Ida, Fox — all of these communities were named into existence decades ago, and in some cases more than a century ago, by a postmaster.

While postal authorities insist that there will be alternatives to stand-alone offices — for example, an outdoor bank of boxes like those at apartment buildings — residents fear that places that began with post office buildings would simply cease to exist with their departure. “I haul logs and I see a lot of the country,� Morrison said. “The places that have lost their post offices have just died.�

The letter-writing campaigns have gotten the right attention. Even Republican members of Congress who came into office on the wave

H.F. “June� Knapp leaves the post office after picking up his mail in Prim, Ark. Residents of Prim, Tilly, Ida and Fox are fighting to keep their post offices. “The places that have lost their post offices have just died,� said Stanley Morrison, a retired justice of the peace.

of fiscal hawkishness in 2010, like Sen. John Boozman and Rep. Rick Crawford, are coming to the defense of the rural post office.

Boozman, in an interview, raised the same concerns echoed by his constituents and the Postal Regulatory Commission: The closing process has been frustratingly opaque. “It appears that their method so far has been pretty arbitrary,� he said.

The lack of clarity has given rise to suspicion in areas unaccustomed to rancor but now in a fight for survival. Talk of politics, friends with connections, even Masonic conspiracies has surfaced to explain why one office made the list and another, remoter one inexplicably did not.

Boozman has even proposed legislation that would ban the closing of any post office if the nearest one is more than 10 miles away.

“There are times when it’s not as profitable,� he said, explaining this apparent departure from small-government orthodoxy, “but it’s important to provide that service.�

The politics here are obvious, said Steve Brawner, a columnist for The Arkansas News Bureau, as anything contributing to the decline of rural America, like school consolidation, is especially difficult to take in a state like Arkansas.

But Brawner argued in a November column that the Postal Service’s dire fiscal challenges, like others the nation is facing, mean that nobody will be able to get everything he wants. “People make choices about where they live and how they navigate their lives,� he wrote. “Congress should let the Postal Service make choices as well, like any business would when times change and it starts losing money.�

THIS BUDS FOR ME

Anheuser-Busch buys Czech ‘Bud’ rival

By Tim Logan St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — AnheuserBusch InBev wants to make Budweiser a truly global brand.

But it would help to do something about those other Budweisers that are running around Eastern Europe.

The brewing giant took a step toward that Thursday, when it confirmed the purchase of a small Czech brewery, one of two the company has fought in court for decades over the right to use its iconic brand.

A-B InBev has purchased Budejovicky Mestansky Pivovar, the smaller of two breweries from the Czech town of Ceska Budejovice which have long claimed they — and not A-B InBev — own the right to sell a beer called Budweiser on world markets. No purchase price was disclosed, and the only assets A-B InBev bought were BMP’s Budweiser trade-

marks — its parent company transferred the actual brewery and employees to a different firm prior to the sale.

Still, the deal could have big ramifications.

It eliminates one of A-B InBev’s two opponents in dozens of lawsuits around the world over the Budweiser brand. The other — the larger Budejovicky Budvar — still remains. But the Czech government has been talking in recent years about privatizing the state-owned brewery, and analysts in Prague suggest that the BMP deal could signal AB InBev’s intentions to buy at least a share of its rival and end the brand dispute altogether.

Aside from a statement confirming the purchase, A-B InBev had little comment.

The spat stretches back more than a century, with all three breweries claiming a historical right to the name Budweiser. They’ve been in court since the mid-’70s,

fighting trademark disputes in country after country as both Anheuser-Busch and Budvar moved into export markets. Today, Budvar sells better in Eastern and Central Europe, as well as Germany and France, while Anheuser-Busch is on top in Latin America, Asia and southern Europe. In the U.S., ironically, A-B InBev distributes Budvar’s signature lager under the name Czechvar.

A big part of InBev’s strategy when it purchased Anheuser-Busch three years ago was launching Budweiser onto a global stage. The brewer has already begun sales in Russia and Brazil, and is investing heavily in World Cup sponsorships to make beer drinkers all over the planet even more familiar with its famous name.

Now, it appears to be trying to clean up any confusion about just which Budweiser all those beer drinkers will be talking about.

Those fighting for their post offices said that they would be willing to pay more for postage or give up mail on Saturdays, or even every other day, to keep their buildings. They even say that it makes sense to close some offices — if not theirs.

What galls many, though, is the argument made by the Postal Service that the Internet is killing the traditional mail service. That may be so, they say, but it is in the very places facing the closings where it is least so. “We were going to use the Internet to get bulk postage,� said Jane Carlton, a member of Prim’s five-woman committee to save the post office, describing their effort to begin a letter-writing campaign. “But no one could figure it out how to do it.�

So, she said, they got in their cars and spent an afternoon taking the letters door to door.

Eran Ben-Joseph via New York Times News Service

A landscaped parking lot in Nantucket, Mass., part of “Rethinking a Lot,” a new study of parking by Eran Ben-Joseph, a professor of urban planning at MIT. In the new study due out in March, BenJoseph points out that “in some U.S. cities, parking lots cover more than a third of the land area.

Parking Continued from G1 That’s akin to the approach of an architecture and planning firm in New York called Interboro Partners.

Several years ago it entered a competition in Los Angeles focused on dead shopping malls. Entrants picked malls they wanted to revive. Most contestants proposed erecting office parks or retirement homes or apartment buildings. Interboro took a different approach.

It chose the Dutchess County Mall in Fishkill, N.Y. Opened with fanfare in the spring of 1974 as another consumer paradise and symbol of automotive and suburban progress, it was built on the promising corner of a major highway interchange in the heart of a county poised for growth.

But development ended up gravitating elsewhere, and by the early 1990s the mall was half-empty; by 1998 it was officially closed. To drivers passing it on Interstate 84 it looked like every other dead mall, floating in the usual asphalt sea of parking spaces.

But Interboro’s partners saw something else there: life.

Of course suburban and urban lots are not all the same, and it’s glib to say we should just buy fewer cars.

Yes, we ought to wean ourselves from automobiles in favor of public transportation. We rely too much on cars because our public transit systems are often so abysmal. But cars aren’t going away anytime soon, certainly

not in the suburbs or in cities like Los Angeles, and we can’t just wish away lots in which to park them. John Brinckerhoff Jackson, the landscape writer who died in 1996, years ago pleaded that the parking lot be treated like the city common, with its own community values.

But what does this entail? For big cities like New York it is high time to abandon outmoded zoning codes from the auto-boom days requiring specific ratios of parking spaces per housing unit, or per square foot of retail space. These rules about minimum parking spaces have driven up the costs of apartments for developers and residents, damaged the environment, diverted money that could have gone to mass transit and created a government-mandated cityscape that’s largely unused. We keep adding to the glut of parking lots.

Questioning the necessity As for the perception that parking spots are hard to find, as if everyplace were Midtown Manhattan, the reality is that a space may not be open precisely when and where a driver wants it. But the journal Transportation Science has shown that drivers who parked at the first available spot and then walked to their destination on average saved considerable time (never mind savings in gasoline and anxiety) over those who cruised around until a “better” spot opened.

Driver behavior is revealing. We ignore the stripes and take shortcuts

when lots are not full, but then are inclined to slow down and become more alert to pedestrians when we do so, a fact that led a Dutch traffic engineer to remove lights and other markings in the town of Drachten.

Traffic accidents there declined.

Various cities in northern Europe have followed suit, experimenting with removing traffic controls in areas shared by cars, pedestrians and cyclists — creating lots that function, in effect, as public squares.

I recently called John Kaliski, who runs Urban Studio in Los Angeles, and asked him whether this approach might work in car-centric Southern California, and he said it could. “But you would have to be rigorous about how you applied it,” he cautioned.

“Liability is different in the United States than in Europe.”

A new vision It’s a no-brainer to argue that lots should be greener. The biggest advancements in lot designs have involved porous surfaces, more trees for shade and storm-water collection facilities. In Turin, Italy, Renzo Piano transformed part of the area around Fiat’s Lingotto factory by extending a grid of trees from the parking lot into the building’s formerly barren courtyards, creating a canopy of soft shade and a ready metaphor: nature reclaiming the postindustrial landscape. At Dia:Beacon, the Minimalist museum up the Hudson River, the parking lot designed by the artist

Yogurt Continued from G1 New York’s dairy farmers are among the biggest beneficiaries of the public’s love affair with Greek yogurt, since it typically takes three times as much milk to make a pound of Greek yogurt as it does for regular yogurt. “This is a ‘once every two or three generations’ situation,” said Bruce Krupke, executive vice president of the Northeast Dairy Foods Association. “All of the right forces have come together to make it very attractive to build in New York state.”

Data compiled by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets shows that the state produced 368 million pounds of yogurt in 2010, nearly 40 percent more than the previous year. Over five years, production rose almost 60 percent. Much of that increase is for Greek yogurt production.

And the growth is continuing. Through a combination of new plants and expansions, within a few years, the state could produce twice as much yogurt as it made in 2010.

“We’re literally building as we speak to keep up with demand,” said Russell Evans, Fage’s director of United States marketing.

Fage, based in Greece, is credited with introducing many Americans to Greek yogurt and thereby starting the boom. The company chose to open its plant in Johnstown, N.Y., in 2008 partly because it was close to New York City, where a large community of people of Greek descent made a ready market familiar with their product. But the appeal turned out to be much broader.

Heather Ainsworth / New York Times News Service

A construction worker walks past the new addition for yogurt processing at the Chobani plant in New Berlin, N.Y.

Milking employment The Johnstown plant had an initial capacity of 26 million pounds a year and last year produced 123 million pounds.

Its planned expansion, which is expected to take about two years, would allow the company to make up to 352 million pounds a year.

AgroFarma, founded by a Turkish immigrant, began making Greek-style yogurt under the Chobani brand name four years ago at a former Kraft Foods plant in South Edmeston, N.Y. Now the leading U.S. maker of Greek yogurt, the company currently takes in about 3 million pounds of milk a day, from which it makes 1 million pounds of yogurt.

When the current phase of expansion is done in the spring, the plant’s capacity will increase by about a third, said Mikael Pedersen, the chief operating officer of

AgroFarma. (Chobani also recently announced plans to build a $128 million plant in Idaho, to better supply markets across the country.)

The Greek yogurt boom has translated into jobs in rural areas of New York that badly need them. Chobani said it currently employed about 900 people in New York and expected to add about 100 more.

Fage said it had about 240 fulltime employees and expected to add about 150. The new Alpina plant in Batavia will employ about 50 people.

“We went for many, many years in this state with regard to dairy manufacturing generally without seeing any remodeling of plants of any scale,” said Patrick Hooker, senior director of industrial development of the Empire State Development Corp., a state-controlled economic development agency.

Then came Greek yogurt.

Robert Irwin in collaboration with the firm OpenOffice is one with the art inside, trees in rigorous ranks rising subtly toward the front door. It’s an example not only of green design but also of treating parking lots the way people actually experience them: as the real entrance to a building.

But these are exceptions.

Which gets us back to Interboro and the parking lot of the Dutchess County Mall. By the late 1990s its developer had decided to land-bank the site, hoping its price would rise along with property values in the area. This meant that the mall and its lot had an absentee landlord.

But Interboro noticed that the parking lot was quietly being used as a depot and stop by bus lines. A hot dog truck had set up shop there. Patrons at a drive-thru McDonald’s ate in their parked cars. Truckers slept there overnight. The Fishkill flea market took over on weekends, and a graphic design firm and a couple of banks and a post-office processing center converted vacant mall stores into offices.

In short, said Daniel D’Oca, one of Interboro’s partners, “what looked dead wasn’t, but you would have missed it if you just passed by it with a predisposed idea about sprawl.”

The firm wanted “to be responsive to the ways people already used the space,” elaborated Tobias Armborst, another partner, by making temporary interventions that “enhanced its urbanity.” The notion was that these

Hooker said that yogurt making was a big jobs creator, compared with many other forms of agricultural production.

To make yogurt, farmers have to grow crops, “which are fed to cows, and cows need to be milked, and milk needs to be trucked and processed and cultured and made into yogurt and then trucked again and sent to consumers,” Hooker said. “It’s a huge multiplier.”

New York may be the fastest-growing producer of yogurt, but other states have seen production rise as well.

California produces more milk than any other state and is the nation’s leading yogurt

interventions might open the door to various possible futures. Interboro proposed that the lot become, in effect, a laboratory for “small, cheap, feasible experiments,” is how Georgeen Theodore, a third Interboro partner, put it. “We embraced the fact that it was functioning for Fishkill as a version of Jane Jacobs’ sidewalk,” she said. “No one would disagree with permeable surfaces or solar panels. But it’s not as obvious to see lots for what they are, as public spaces where diverse people meet.”

So the firm imagined installing fitness and day care centers, which the postal workers said they wanted, and turning part of the mall over to a nightclub, so that the parties already happening in the lot could move indoors. The lot would get a beer garden, a recycling facility, a used-car business, a hiking trail entrance where the lot abutted protected wilderness, and a summer stage that exploited, as a readymade band shell, the existing architecture of one of the mall’s defunct storefronts.

“The point was to think of the whole lot not as a blight but as a space for architectural invention worth engaging with, warts and all,” Theodore stressed.

In the end, the developer didn’t take up Interboro on its plan. But the scheme served its rhetorical purpose.

Lots don’t need to be dead zones. And the best architecture can be light on its feet.

producer. Yogurt production in California was 620 million pounds in 2009, the last year data was available. That was an increase of 6.5 percent from the previous year.

Tennessee is another state that saw a big jump in yogurt production, partly because of the expansion of a major Yoplait plant in the state.

“Stop and think,” said John Sanford, a dairy regulator

with the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, discussing the reasons for the yogurt boom. “It’s nutritious. It’s safe, it’s healthy and it’s delicious.

How can you be any better?”

Apps for resolutions The following mobile applications might help you with your New Year’s resolution of choice (unless you’ve resolved to use your smartphone less).

GET FIT Runkeeper: The RunKeeper mobile app helps you track fitness activities including running and cycling.

Features include GPS and manual activity tracking, audio cues and neat maps of your workout routes.

(Free; Android, iOS) Lose It: This Swiss Army knife fitness app lets you record and track both diet and exercise. A huge database of food items allows you to log stats including calories, fat, protein and carbohydrates and make sure that your intake matches your daily goal (you can scan barcodes to include food items the database has missed). The app’s exercise functions make it easy to input different types of activities, duration and calories burned. (Free; Android, iOS) GymPact: In addition to rewarding you for fitness accomplishments, this app punishes you for failure. You set the number of days you want to hit the gym and a real-life sum you’re willing to pay if you fall short. Check in at the gym with an iPhone app (the app includes more than 40,000 locations and it’s easy to add your own).

If you meet your goal, you get paid out of the cash pool collected from those who didn’t; if you skip, you pay.

(Free for iOS; coming soon to Android)

KICK THE HABIT Smoke Out: Besides tracking how long you’ve been smoke free, Smoke Out tells you how much money you’ve saved (and estimates how much time you’ve added to your life) by quitting. (99 cents; iOS)

GET IT TOGETHER Evernote: This app lets you create and save notes, pictures and voice memos and sync them across your phone, computer and the Web so that they’re always available to you.

A premium subscription ($5 per month, or $45 for a full year) gives you more cloud storage space, offline access, priority support, collaborative tools and other bonuses, but there’s no charge for the basic app.

(Free; Android, iOS)

STASH SOME CASH Expenditure: Find out where all your green is going with this app.

Categorically track repeating and one-timeonly deposits and expenses, attach notes and photos, and find out what you spend the most on and exactly how much you’ve got left. ($1.99; iOS) iRead Personal Finance Blogs: This aggregator collects personal finance information and advice from the WiseBread, Consumerist, GetRichSlowly and The Simple Dollar blogs and delivers it in a phonefriendly format. (99 cents; iOS) Mint.com: This app allows you to track, budget and manage your money in the palm of your hand. (Free; Android, iOS) — Cox News Service

Resolutions Continued from G1 Americans spend many tens of billions every year in the hope of keeping resolutions to lose weight, get fit, quit smoking, fix their finances, organize their closets — on and on.

Last year, we spent $62 billion on health club memberships, weight-loss programs, exercise tapes, diet soda and the like, according to projections from Marketdata Enterprises, a market research firm.

We start with good intentions. Memberships for health clubs and weight-loss programs spike each January, says John LaRosa, the president of Marketdata. But by March, the lines thin at the treadmills and many dieters relapse. So the next year, we try — and pay up — again.

Shows and no-shows January is the most important month of the year in the health club industry. At many gyms, new memberships double. Given that about a third of all members tend to turn over every year, the resolution crowd is crucial.

“The resolutioners always pop up,” said Scott Hamann, an analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets covering the fitness industry.

But you probably know what happens next. Only a fraction of members work out twice a week or more, despite all those monthly dues. Health clubs in the United States had more than 50 million members and revenue of $20.3 billion in 2010, according to the latest data from the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association, an industry trade group. But clubs reported that members typically visit only 54 times, or slightly more than once a week.

People might want to do the math before joining a gym, says Stefano DellaVigna, an associate professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a co-author of a study titled “Paying Not to Go to The Gym.” From an economics standpoint, he says, many people would be better off paying per visit than signing up for a rolling monthly membership. People who seldom use their pay-by-themonth plans often don’t get around to canceling them, the study found.

In any given month, onefifth of a gym’s members are typically inactive, club executives say. These no-shows are great customers for the gyms.

“You don’t have any equipment depreciation,” said Sean Naughton, an analyst at Piper Jaffray.

The idea that we can transform ourselves is deeply ingrained in American culture. Americans spent about $26 billion on diet soda, prepackaged diet dinners and artificial sweeteners in 2010, along with about $1.2 billion on diet books and exercise videos, and about $3.3 billion on commercial weight-loss programs, according to Marketdata estimates. Despite all that, people generally lose only modest amounts of weight and have difficulty keeping it off, says Kelly Brownell, the director of the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity. Human biology and the current food environment, he says, are stacked against us.

But some programs promote themselves as helping people navigate our national menu of cheap, fattening food. Weight Watchers has long promoted a multipronged approach —

Income Continued from G1 Biology, and the decision to step away from the workforce to have children, factors into the earnings gap between men and women, according to employment economists from state and federal agencies.

Cooper, a mother of three, said women should be able to take time off to have a family, but said it also enforces the impression that women will always take that time off.

When it comes to the legal industry, she said, all things being equal, it is more likely a man instead of a women will make partner.

“I’ve heard men say, ‘She might take time off in the future; she might decide she wants children or take leave,’” she said.

In 2010, women in Oregon who worked full time earned a median weekly salary of $659, or 79.6 percent of the $828 median weekly salary earned by men, according to a BLS report released Dec. 28.

That percentage ranked Oregon 26th among the 50 states and Washington, D.C. Delaware — where women earned 91.3 percent of the median weekly salary earned by men, a difference of $70 — ranked first. Women in West Virginia, which finished 51st, received 68.8 percent of the weekly median salary earned by men, a $260 difference.

The data was based on the Current Population Survey sampling of 60,000 households across the nation. According to the bureau, the wage differences between the states stemmed from variation in occupations, industries found throughout the state, as well as the age of laborers.

The wage gap varied depending on the industry, according to the report. Of those occupations analyzed in the report, the legal occupations, which consists of lawyers, judges, support workers and others, had the lowest national ratio of men to women’s earnings.

The bureau reported office and administrative support occupations had the national

Smoke and mirrors January is known as “the quitting season” in the smoking-cessation business.

Americans spent about $522 million on over-thecounter nicotine replacement lozenges, gum, skin patches and other antismoking products in the 12 months that ended Nov. 27, according to the SymphonyIRI Group, a market research firm that tracks product sales. During the first week in January, however, sales of the NicoDerm CQ patch, as well as of Nicorette gum and lozenges, typically jump about 40 percent, according to GlaxoSmithKline, which markets those brands.

“What you will see around Jan. 1 is a whole bunch of ads for nicotine replacement therapy, because those are commercial products,” said William Riley, a program director at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute who oversees tobacco research.

In the meantime, he says, government resources, like the 1-800-QUIT-NOW hot line and a website, smokefree.gov, are available at no cost. Last year, the federal government introduced a program, called SmokefreeTXT. Smokers signing up for it receive free text messages encouraging their efforts to quit and offering practical advice.

People who are having particular difficulties, like a craving or a relapse, can receive additional support by texting the service.

high, with women earning 93.3 percent of the median weekly salary earned by men.

From 1975-2010, the number of women in the Oregon workforce has increased from 48 percent to 61 percent, according to the Oregon Employment Department.

Women outnumber men in 40 percent of the state’s industries including educational services, health care, social assistance, retail and accommodation and food services. Men dominate fields such as manufacturing, construction and natural resource extraction. The data also showed the earnings gap in Oregon was smallest in the accommodation and food service sector, and the largest in the finance and insurance sector.

Todd Johnson, economist at the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ San Francisco office, said although women continue to enter the workforce in greater numbers, many leave to have children and work part-time jobs when they return.

Liz Dickson, a lawyer at Hurley Re Attorneys at Law in Bend, said she’s never experienced wage discrimination.

When looking at how much females earn versus males, Dickson said there are factors that play into the wage differentiation other than gender.

If women have demands, like children in their lives, she said it inhibits the amount of time they are in the office, affecting how long it takes to

move up the ranks and therefore, how much they get paid.

Brad Avakian, commissioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, said one reason women earn less is because they take on the biggest burden and traditional role of primary caregiver when raising a family.

“They’re having babies, which takes them out of the workplace,” he said. “It makes it difficult for them to work the same amount of time and have the opportunities for advancement.”

One way, Avakian said, employers can help eliminate pay disparity is by offering flexible schedules and day care options. He said some businesses already have day care on site.

Avakian said there also needs to be a shift in business culture. While the wage gap has narrowed, Avakian said his goal is to eliminate it.

“When you’re looking at a 23 percent differential (in wages), you know we haven’t come as far as we should have in 30 years,” he said. “We’re still a society that doesn’t fully recognize the value and contributions of women in the workplace.”

By Paul Brand Minneapolis Star Tribune

I have a 2003 Mazda MPV that still has the Q : original battery. How long does a typical battery last?

The MPV has 110,000 miles on it, and I drive it about once or twice a week. I suppose I can expect it to fail now that I have written to you about it.

Not only has it lasted significantly longer than typical — three to six years — I suspect you’re now on borrowed time with the battery. Batteries always seem to last until, well, you need them most. You can have the battery load tested to determine how many amperes of current it can deliver to crank the engine, then compare that to its original rating. I suspect it will be at something less than half of its original capacity.

With winter here, if the battery doesn’t deliver more than 75 percent of its original starting capacity, I’d replace it now.

The price of a new battery is a mere fraction of the cost and inconvenience of a dead battery at the wrong time.

There is a constant clicking noise that comes from the central area of the instrument panel of my 2003 Pontiac Grand Am. It sounds like the turn-signal flasher unit turning on and off. The turn signals don’t flash while this is happening, but the sound disappears when either turn signal is turned on.

I found an article online that said this sound is caused by a contaminated multifunctional switch. It said to remove the multifunctional switch and clean out all excess lubricant, reinstall the

switch and problem will be solved. The dealer mechanic told me the switch was sealed, so the only solution would be to replace the switch for $500.

The repair time for replacing the multifunction switch in your vehicle is 1.1 hours, and the switch price is about $240. In addition, the air bag has to be safely disabled while replacing the switch. You might price this job from an independent shop and ask if they can fix the original switch.

The problem, of course, is that if they clean the switch but it develops the problem again, who’s responsible?

I have a 1999 Audi A6.

Last December, I had the front brakes and rotors replaced. Recently, my mechanic couldn’t rotate my tires because one of the lug nuts was stuck. He claimed it was cross-threaded and that I should take it back to the brake shop. The brake shop couldn’t get the lug nut to budge either and claimed that it is most likely rusted on.

From what I understand, getting the wheel off will most likely damage the rim beyond repair. How can I dispute the claim that the lug nut is rusted on vs. cross-threaded?

I’ve never seen a lug nut that was so rusted on that it could not be removed. So, like Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor used to say, “more power!” Worst-case scenario would be to break off the stud to remove the wheel, then install a replacement wheel stud.

TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION

Automakers work to balance entertainment and safety

By Sam Grobart New York Times News Service

LAS VEGAS — If Mercedes, BMW and Ford have their way, the new cars they build will be able to port apps, games, music and movies from a smartphone to a car’s entertainment system.

But for every potential distraction automakers add, they find themselves having to build in ways to prevent drivers from crashing their new smartphone on wheels: automatically applying the brakes at a traffic light; alerting drivers when a car is in the blind spot, or reading traffic signs and slowing a car as speed zones change.

As cars become ever more vibrant entertainment centers, automakers find themselves in a kind of arms race with themselves that they are powerless to prevent.

“We can’t stop the prolific growth of consumer technology,” said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer at Ford.

“We can’t stop people bringing phones in their cars. We endeavor to make sure people do it in the safest way possible.”

The push toward greater connectivity in the car can be found in many of the automakers’ booths at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which happens to run concurrently with the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Increasingly, the two industries are sharing more than just dates on a calendar.

Ford’s Sync App Link, Mercedes-Benz’s forthcom-

ing DriveStyle app and BMW ConnectedDrive have slight differences in execution, but the purpose is the same: importing apps and content from a smartphone into the car’s displays and controls.

Using the smartphone as a hub of digital content and services means drivers are able to preserve the same media and features they use when they are out of their cars. “You’re already used to using your phone,” Mascarenas said.

“We’re trying to create a seamless experience from your home or office into your car.”

Adding technology that brings the online world into a car’s cockpit obviously increases the risk that a driver will become distracted. The National Transportation Safety Board has joined safety organizations in calling for bans on cellphone use while driving.

The auto industry’s response is to use other technologies to try to reduce that risk.

Today’s cars already can do many automated safety tasks. They can maintain a set distance from the car in

front of it and apply mild corrective steering to keep a car in its lane. They can also automatically adjust the headlights and determine if drivers are drowsy and then sound an alarm to awaken them.

Automakers acknowledge that the foundations are already in place for cars that, one day, may drive themselves. At that point, the issue of distraction is substantially reduced.

Fully autonomous cars, from research projects at Google to automakers’ own prototypes, have already proved to be viable. In 2010, driverless cars that participated in VisLab’s Intercontinental Autonomous Challenge drove about 9,300 miles from Parma, Italy, to Shanghai. That was an extreme test of autonomous-car technology, but more prosaic uses may be tried in the future.

“If you’re stuck in a traffic jam or driving hundreds of miles in a straight line across Nebraska or Montana,” Dieter Zetsche, the MercedesBenz chief executive, said in a speech at CES on Tuesday, “it might be better for you to read a book.”

Automakers see other benefits to letting mobile app developers add all kinds of things to cars. It may help bring down the cost of a car.

“You already have a phone with things like navigation and music and local information,” said James Buczkowski, Ford’s director of electrical and electronics systems. “It’s cheaper for both consumer and for us.

We don’t have to build it. We can rely on our partners.”

“Eat Yourself Skinny!”

Mother of 5 reveals how she lost 58 pounds in 10 months WITHOUT Dieting . . . and WITHOUT depriving herself of all of her favorite foods - plus it was as easy as shaking ‘salt n pepper’ on her meals BEFORE Losing weight will never be easier. At times I feel like a ‘Super-Mom’ of 5 beautiful children, who cleans the house, does the washing, ironing, grocery shopping, pays the bills, referees the kids, and plays taxi driver to football, cheer leading practice as well as coaching . . . and then I go home to cook my family a delicious, hot, home cooked meal (even though I’ve worked all day)!

Being so busy, I just didn’t have the time to diet.

I hardly have any time for myself, let alone the time to worry about every single bite I’m eating or preparing special meals for myself.

Perhaps you can relate to what I’m saying?

Over the years, every time a new fad diet came out, I tried it in the vain hope one of them might just work for me. I tried everything.

Pre-packaged meals, counting points, diet pills, supplements, liquid diets, AFTER you name it – I’ve probably done it. The worst decision I ever made, one I still regret to this day, was to get liposuction.

No matter what I tried or how much suffering I endured, my weight stayed on.

Like many women, my struggle with my weight began after I had my children. It was like all of my bad eating habits caught up to me at once.

And I was too busy juggling my kids and my work to have the time to make any drastic changes to my lifestyle. After trying almost every weight-loss product on the market with no success whatsoever, I pretty much became resigned to the fact . . . I would just have to settle for being a size 16. I was looking through some photos one day when I saw a photo of myself

on the beach and wondered who the ‘big girl’ was.

My life changed instantly because I realized I had to take action for good and get my body back, not just for myself but also for my kids.

THE SENSA® BREAKTHROUGH I began searching everywhere for a solution until my mind went back to a psychiatric convention I had attended for my job, where I had met the neurologist Dr. Alan Hirsch and discovered his scientific studies on the effects taste and smell can have on weight loss. I remembered being impressed by all of the research and scientific evidence he revealed which backed up his studies.

On a whim, I looked up Dr. Hirsch on the Internet – and was astounded to discover he had created the SENSA® Weight-Loss System.

Based on Dr. Hirsch’s 25 years of research and testing, SENSA® works with your sense of smell to trigger the ‘I feel full’ signal in your brain which means you eat less and feel more satisfied . . . ultimately, you lose weight. In one of the largest studies ever conducted on a non-prescription weight-loss system, 1,436 men and women lost an average of 30.5 pounds in just 6 months, without changing their diets or exercise routines.

Considering all of the science behind SENSA®, I was relieved to see it wasn’t another one of those fad diets or quick fixes. I knew I had to try it. After all, the only thing I had to lose was my unwanted weight!

LOOK SEXY, FEEL YOUNGER My journey with SENSA® started the day before Thanksgiving, which might sound like I had set myself up for failure. For the first time in my life, I didn’t even finish my plate on Thanksgiving; I still had more than half of the food left over . . . I was so stuffed! I went on to lose 7 pounds over the holidays. I was beyond thrilled to lose, rather than gain, but I did question whether my weight loss good fortune would continue.

I didn’t need to worry. The pounds continued to melt off of me like a hot knife melts through frozen butter over the coming weeks and months.

I was ecstatic! I began to look forward to going shopping for new clothes, so I could show off my new body. And I no longer dreaded wearing a bathing suit at the beach. I felt sexy, confident and people began commenting how much younger I looked! Plus, I finally had enough energy to keep up with my kids.

EAT WHATEVER YOU NORMALLY EAT It almost seemed too good to be true, since I didn’t have to make any changes to my hectic schedule, unlike all of the diets I had previously tried. I can still eat whatever my family is having, even if it’s drive-through or Mexican food. And when my kids celebrate their birthdays, I can still have a piece of cake. All I have to remember to do is sprinkle my SENSA®, which is easy enough because I always sprinkle salt and pepper on my food anyways.

I have been using SENSA® for ten months now, and I’ve lost 58 pounds!* To say SENSA® changed my life is an understatement.

It’s worked for me and it can work for you. Claim your 30 day FREE trial just like I did where the only thing you have to lose . . . is YOUR unwanted pounds!

Among other challenges, NASA engineers had to devise a way to eliminate spacecraft vibrations that would cause distortions.

Their work has finally paid off. Just last month, NASA announced the discovery of Kepler-22b, a world with the perfect temperature to sustain life, though its potential mass suggests that gravity might be too powerful there for human habitation. Two weeks later came the first planets—Kepler20e and Kepler-20f—to match Earth’s size almost exactly, but they orbit too close to their sun to be habitable. Nevertheless, “this is a real turning point,” Batalha says. “Earth is no longer a lone outpost in the Milky Way galaxy.” < Kepler-16b

Manner Up! Modern etiquette made easy

Q: My mother is incredibly bossy in the kitchen— even my kitchen! She not only criticizes my cooking but starts rearranging all my pots and pans. It drives me nuts; we’ve had the same fight about it for years.

How can I keep the peace when she visits without having my whole kitchen turned upside down? —Name withheld, Buffalo A: All that kitchen drama is not about your cooking or organizational skills; it’s about your mother’s sense of not being needed the way she used to be. Why, you just can’t do anything by yourself, can you? You still need Mom’s help! Your best defense: Give her a job to do—one that does not involve eyeing the oven every five minutes and telling you to turn up the heat from 350 to 375. Tell her, “Mom, I could really use a hand doing X,” where X equals, for instance, keeping the kids busy and out of the kitchen. After all, you probably really could use her help— and she will feel needed. And at the end of the day, thank her. Because that’s what all of us mamas truly want: a little appreciation.

How do you spend Sundays?

My wife makes the best chocolate chip pancakes, and my son and I are only too happy to stay home and eat them. Sometimes David plays soccer or football. I played rugby, so David has that in his blood. He’s a very rambunctious, energetic boy, a natural linebacker. I have also fallen in love with the NFL and the New York Giants. I watch the games and my wife lets me, and that’s love.

What about Sunday supper?

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant My husband says that a light fixture with six 60-watt bulbs is as bright as a fixture with one 360-watt bulb. To me, this is like saying that if you harness together six horses, each of which can run 40 miles per hour, the team could run 240 miles per hour. I think my husband might be wrong for the first time in his life.

Am I right? —Elizabeth Moore, Bowling Green, Ky.

To compare the latter, you must add up the lumens (a measure of light emission) that are produced by each bulb, and lower-wattage bulbs tend to be less efficient. I found an example in my closet—a 40-watt bulb that produces 475 lumens and a 200-watt bulb that produces 3,300 lumens.

So five of my 40-watt bulbs would produce 2,375 lumens, only about 72 percent of the output of the large bulb.

RECORD-BREAKING RECEIVER DORIAL GREEN-BECKHAM TOPS OUR 49TH ANNUAL PARADE ALL-AMERICA LIST, BUT HE’S HAD TO OVERCOME SOME HUGE OBSTACLES ALONG THE WAY

D

By BRIAN MCLAUGHLIN

Cover and opening photograph by JENNIFER SILVERBERG

orial Green-Beckham, an 18-year-old wide receiver at Hillcrest High School in Springfield, Mo., has a smile almost as wide as his barn-broad shoulders, but you won’t see it when he’s talking about his childhood. “Growing up, there weren’t a lot of choices,” he says. Sometimes not even the choice of where to sleep at night. The third of six kids born to a struggling single mother, he bounced from motel rooms and vans to living in foster homes and with relatives, shuttling between his native St. Louis area and Springfield.

That all changed in 2006, when Hillcrest head football coach John Beckham and his wife, Tracy, opened their home to Dorial and his younger brother Darnell. John and Tracy have fostered 20 or so children over the years, including Dorial’s older brother Sam, whom they’d taken in just a few months earlier. And even though they were raising five other kids at the time and Tracy was battling thyroid cancer, they made room. “When you’ve been in the [foster] system long enough, you know there is not another person waiting in line behind you,” says Tracy.

Things were rocky at first. Dorial was “withdrawn,” says John. “He didn’t have a whole lot of confidence in himself.” He found his stride his sophomore year, winning state track championships in both the 100-meter dash and the triple jump and leading his basketball team to a state title. But it was on the

football field that the 6-foot-6, 225-pound senior known as DGB really shone, shredding records almost as fast as he went through boxes of breakfast cereal.

In the fall, he wrapped up his high school career with 6,447 total receiving yards, breaking a national record nearly as old as he was.

It’s the kind of talent that inspires comparisons to NFL greats like Randy Moss and sputtering from scouts and recruiters: “Stunning.” “Scary good.”

“Arguably the best athlete in the country.” CBS Sports prep analyst Tom Lemming says that Dorial is among the greatest high school players he’s ever seen. No wonder he topped our 49th annual list of the best seniors in high school football, chosen in partnership with Sporting News.

Suddenly, there are choices. Lots of them. Twelve plastic buckets at the Beckham home are bursting with letters from college football programs.

Dorial, whom the Beckhams formally adopted in 2009 (along with Darnell), is mulling the options, among them Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Texas (at press time, he was uncommitted). But he’s chosen to stay put recently and eschew several recruiting trips, wanting to remain close to home and the family he cherishes. “They’re great people,” he says.

Catch Dorial in action and weigh It’s a decision that makes even more sense in light in on our selections of the devastating news he received last February: at Parade.com /all-america Darnell, also a gifted athlete, continued on page 11 January 15, 2012 • 9

STANDOUT PLAYERS OF

THE YEAR JOHNATHAN GRAY Running Back ALEDO, TEX. For Johnathan Gray, just setting a national record wasn’t enough. In December, the running back did so in Hollywood-worthy fashion—with less than seven minutes left in the state championship game, and with 43,000 fans screaming in the stands of (where else?) Cowboys Stadium. That’s when he scored his 205th touchdown, eclipsing a seven-year-old mark. Johnathan caught the eye of coach Tim Buchanan as a freshman. “He’d outrun everybody, going back 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage and still scoring,” Buchanan says. That speed is an asset on the school’s track team, where Johnathan is a sprinter.

While hopes for the UT-bound phenom are sky-high—a scout calls him “one of the most productive backs in high school history”— Johnathan remains focused on school and football. “He’s the type of kid you’d want your daughter to date,” Buchanan says.

MATY MAUK Quarterback KENTON, OHIO New Orleans counts the Manning brothers—NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli—among its hometown heroes, but Kenton, Ohio, has its own pair of QB star sibs: Ben and Maty Mauk. In 2002, Ben finished his high school career with a national record 17,364 passing yards. That mark seemed unreachable— until little brother Maty surpassed it in November, ending up with 18,932 yards. Maty, who has verbally committed to Missouri, also set career records for passing attempts, completions, and touchdown passes. The Mauk boys’ excellence could owe to the fact that they’ve basically been Kenton Wildcats since birth—their dad, Mike, whose take on the spread offense paved the way for his sons’ mind-boggling stats, has been the Wildcats head coach since 1983. From a ball boy at age 6, Maty has evolved into a true leader. “He’s always out there with our guys throwing or doing something to make them better,” his proud father says. “That can’t be replaced.”

AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE This year’s winner of the Inspireum Football Award fought through two bouts with cancer to rejoin his team In spring 2009, Addison Marshall believed the worst was behind him. He and his family had moved to Texas after leaving their Louisiana home post-Katrina. As a sophomore at Foster High School in Richmond, Tex., he had just made the Falcons varsity squad as a defensive end. Then he was diagnosed with leukemia.

Doctors thought he’d be able to play in fall 2010—until tests showed cancer in his brain and spine. But Addison kept in shape and suited up for every game this past season, though he saw only special-teams action. For the final game of the year, he was cleared to play the second half at his normal position. As he took the field that November day, the stadium erupted. PARADE, in partnership with Inspireum— an enterprise that celebrates youth achievement—is happy to announce that Addison has been voted the year’s most inspiring player. “Life doesn’t go the way you plan it,” says Addison (with his mom, below). “That’s why you should play until the whistle blows.”

My friend Vanessa is the genius behind this recipe. Sometimes when I come home after being gone all season, she’ll bake this for me. She’s like Martha Stewart, always able to make something from nothing, so I’m trying to learn from her! Even growing up, I was always the helper-outer, the sous-chef to my parents.

It seems kind of silly, but it’s really nice to chill in the he kitchen with a friend and bake. It relaxes me, and mixing is i probably my favorite part.

We usually make this in the morning and munch h on it throughout the day. I try to eat on the healthier er side, but baked goods are hard to resist. I just love sweet things. Coffee and this super-moist cake are a win-win any time of the day!

DIABETIC FOOT PAIN?

StayHealthy An Active Brain—for Life We spoke with Dr. Gary Small, author of The Alzheimer’s Prevention Program, about defending against dementia

CLINICALLY TESTED 7 out of 10 users with diabetic foot pain experience relief of pain

Can we really do a lot to help prevent Alzheimer’s? Isn’t it all just genetic?

People have this perception that either you get Alzheimer’s or you don’t. But there’s actually more of a sliding scale of brain health as you age, and a lot depends on genetics and lifestyle together. If everyone in the U.S. adopted just one positive habit, like getting regular exercise or learning to manage stress, within five years we could expect 1 million fewer Alzheimer’s cases.

What does exercise have to do with memory?

It may not seem like physical health and cognitive health are related, but they

are. When you get your heart to pump more blood, it sends more oxygen and nutrients to the brain. It also protects against illnesses like diabetes, which is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s. And we’ve found that lifting weights can improve cognitive health, too, perhaps due to the brainpower spent on maintaining proper form.

What about taking supplements?

You’ve got to keep in mind that not all of them are safe, and they can have serious side effects. So talk to your doctor first. Having said that, I recommend a multivitamin that contains B vitamins; vitamin B12 deficiency can actually

cause dementia. In addition, omega-3 fatty acid capsules, particularly DHAs, have been associated with lower risk for dementia.

Today we rely so much on technology to “remember” things for us. Is this bad?

A lot of people wonder that. But in fact, our brains are simply changing how they process information.

We don’t remember phone numbers because we know we don’t have to, but your memory bank devotes that space to something else. And when you search online, it activates a lot of neural circuits, so in moderation technology can actually improve cognitive performance. p

WHAT’S HEALTHIER?

VENTING TO A FRIEND OR WRITING IN A JOURNAL?

To cope with stress, immediately blowing off steam is the wrong way to go, according to a recent study from the University of Kent in England. The researchers found that angstridden subjects who first vented to a friend often ended up feeling worse afterward. Instead, try putting pen to paper before talking to a pal, suggests Ellen K. Baker, a D.C.-based psychologist. “You can express negative feelings without worrying about being judged,” she says.

Once you’ve gotten your frustrations out, ask a friend to help you find the humor— or the silver lining— in the situation. That, the researchers found, is the most effective one-two punch for shrugging off stress.
