• Speaker I(otek willing to give ground on PERS cuts; Republicans sayit must be more By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

Fitness for couples — The benefits of working out together.E1

SALEM — The political logjam over how to balance the state budget — by a combination of raising taxes and cutting the public pension system — may have loosened Wednesday. This legislative session,

Democrats have pushed to raise taxes, while Republicans have lobbied for deeper cuts to the Public Employees Retirement System. Wednesday, Gov. John Kitzhaber called on lawmakers to end the partisan

gridlock. "We can't continue this chicken-egg discussion of

who is going to move first," Kitzhaber said at a press conference. Kitzhaber proposed further cutting PERS by $442 million and raising taxes by $200 million. House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, until this point has held fast in refus-

ing further cuts to PERS. But Wednesday, she backed down. The governor's proposal, she noted, would help funnel more money toward schools. Republicans, however, said the state cannot "settle for partial solutions." See Budget /A4

An expanded Oregon State University-Cascades Campus would need between 41 and 65 acres by 2025, depending on whether officials choose to build an urban campus integrated into the city or one more self-contained, consultants said Wednesday. "What we got today is an estimate of the most square footage and the most acreage we will need going forward, if we want to meet all the student needs for a traditional type of campus," said OSU-Cascades Vice President Becky Johnson. "It makes it real. It gives you a more concrete idea of what it's going to take.... It doesn't mean that we have to provide all of this right away. A lot of this is going to take place over time, and everything is resource constrained." Johnson, OSU-Cascades faculty and staff, real estate experts and campus-expansion committee members heardsome ofthe firstspace estimatesfora four-year university, which would be funded by $4 million from the community, $16 miiiion fromthe state and $4 million in campus funds.

By Alan Levin WASHINGTON — The regional airliner was climbing past 9,000 feet when its compasses went haywire, leading pilots several miles off course until a flight attendant persuaded a passenger in row 9 to switch off an iPhone. "The timing of the cellphone being turned off coincided with the moment where our heading problem was solved," the unidentified co-pilot told NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System about the 2011 incident. The plane landed safely. Public figures from Sen. Claire McCaskill to actor Alec Baldwin have bristled at what they say are excessive rules restricting use of tablets, smartphones, laptops and other devices

safety vs. innocence By Vikki Ortiz Healy and Kate Thayer Chicago Tribune

Third- and fourth-graders at Bear Creek Elementary School in Bend take off on a half-mile loop Wednesday during physical education while participating in the Bear Creek Marathon. During the event, which takes place every spring, students try to run the equivalent of a marathon in 10 days. The kids receive stamps on their personal cards for every lap they run. Students who get 52 stamps, equivalent to running a marathon, receive a ribbon at the assembly to recognize the event. Top boys and girls lap finishers from each grade get a medal, and the overall top lap runners get their names engraved on a trophy displayed near the office in the school hall. Students from kindergarten to fifth grade participate, and all students who get one stamp on their card receive a certificate of participation at the final assembly. The Bear Creek Marathon first took place at the school in 1974, stopped in 1990, started again in 2004 and has been happening every year since.

CHICAGO — When a police officer acting as a shooter in a safety drill begins trolling the hallways, students at public schools in Plainfield, Ill., hear an announcement over the PA system and react: They follow their teacher into a closet or corner in their classroom, sit quietly in the dark — and refuse to open the locked door for anyone. "We'll shake on the door loudly or pound on the glass, just to try to raise a level of emotion, to try to get people to understand," said Ed Boswell, who heads the safety operations for District 202. "We can never be overprepared," he said. See Drills/A6
