Aquatic center’s troubles may mean a tax hike

By Erik Hidle The Bulletin

It may take a tax increase to keep the Madras Aquatic Center’s budget treading water.

Facility managers announced in January there was a $70,000 shortfall in this year’s operating budget, and the center closed its doors Monday for a temporary shutdown to save money.

Bobby DeRoest, general manager of the facility, said the plan is to reopen May 2 with a savings of $30,000. “Previously we made up some ground in the $70,000 with other cutbacks, such as eliminating staffing and changing hours,” DeRoest said. “This closure will hopefully make up the rest. We will save $15,000 from (not paying for) staffing and another $15,000 from not heating the pools or using the pumps.”

DeRoest said the aquatic center gets about 27 percent of its revenue from a property tax levy of 25 cents per $1,000 in assessed value and 73 percent in income from memberships, swim lessons and other programs.

Money problems surfaced this year as utility prices climbed. Natural gas and electricity to heat and operate the facility costs around $12,000 per month, DeRoest said, and if the cost of energy remains the same, the only solution to keep the facility open all year may be an increase in the levy.

“A tax is being looked at, and I’m not sure I can give much more detail than that,” said Dave Evans, Madras Aquatic Center board member. “We have talked about a temporary change to the levy. We have talked about going to Culver and asking if they want to be part of the district. We have not got to the point of how much more we ask for.”

Evans said any vote on a levy increase would likely appear on the November ballot.

State’s job forecast gets brighter Best monthly growth in 15 years: Construction gains especially point to a 2011 recovery

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

A spring recovery is budding in Oregon, after momentum in the construction and manufacturing sectors led in February to the largest monthly job gain in 15 years, said Brad Avakian, Oregon’s labor commissioner.

“Since the recession hit in December 2007 in the wake of the meltdown on

Wall Street, too many businesses on Oregon’s Main Street were forced to close their doors, and too many of our workers were pushed onto the unemployment lines,” Avakian said.

Oregon lost nearly 150,000 jobs in 2008 and 2009 when the state’s unemployment peaked at 11.6 percent, Avakian said, and even after the recession officially ended in June 2009, job

Avakian said unemployment reports this spring show the tide is turning.

“It’s been a long, hard road for Oregon’s economy since the national recession began in late 2007,” Avakian said.

“This spring, however, we’re starting to see signs of real progress on the road to recovery.”

SEATTLE — In the summer of 2008, a team of Army advisers working in the rugged terrain of eastern Afghanistan found the load shouldered by soldiers had reached a kind of tipping point.

These soldiers trudged through the mountains with body armor, weapons and a variety of other equipment that wore them down and restricted their movements when they came under fire from insurgents.

All that gear, designed to help the men survive, was sometimes putting overloaded soldiers at risk on the battlefield.

The advisers, part of the Asymmetric Warfare Group, have helped roust the military to a more aggressive effort to trim that down.

Their pilot plan for more than 550 soldiers shed some 24 pounds from the load by finding alternatives for standard-issue Army gear. They acquired lighter flashlights, headlamps, sleeping bags, kneepads, boots and other gear from commercial vendors.

They found a lighter machine gun and trimmer body armor.

The Army also has other efforts under way to lighten the load — producing lighter weapon tripods, even a longer-term plan to develop equipment-toting robots.

“The fundamental question is very simple,” said 1st Sgt. David Roels, who in 2008 served as one of the Afghanistan advisers.

“Am I safer if I am lighter and more mobile?

And in most cases, the answer is yes.”

Young doctors go far afield to battle epidemics

By Celia W. Dugger New York Times News Service

MASHAI, Lesotho — At a clinic in the mountains, reached only by crossing a churning river in a rowboat, Dr. Paul Young, a pediatrician raised in the housing projects of Savannah, Ga., soothed a fussy baby. She stared at him, fascinated, as he made soft popping sounds with his lips and listened to

her heart through a stethoscope.

“I used to be afraid to look at the babies’ test results,” he said after examining a bunch of children, who were born healthy despite having HIV-positive mothers. “But now, most of them are negative.”

Young, 33, and the nurses he trained here have persuaded many pregnant women to get tested and take the drugs that pre-

vent them from passing the disease to their newborns. It is all part of a charitable effort he joined in 2008 for $40,000 a year and the chance to work in this AIDS-afflicted country.

“If this was the last thing I did, if this was the only job I ever had in life, I would have served my purpose,” he said.

JERUSALEM — With revolutionary fervor sweeping the Middle East, Israel is under mounting pressure to make a far-reaching offer to the Palestinians or face a U.N. vote welcoming the State of Palestine as a member whose territory includes all of the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Authority has been building support for such a resolution in September, a move that could place Israel into a diplomatic vise. Israel would be occupying land belonging to a fellow U.N. member, land it has controlled and settled for more than four decades and some of which it expects to keep in any two-state solution.

“We are facing a diplomatic-political tsunami that the majority of the public is unaware of and that will peak in September,” said Ehud Barak, Israel’s defense minister, at a conference in Tel Aviv last month. “It is a very dangerous situation, one that requires action.”

Riots over U.S. Quran burning: 20 dead in 2 days Bulletin wire reports Afghans rioted for a second day Saturday to protest the burning of a Quran in Florida, killing nine people in Kandahar and injuring more than 80 in a wave of violence that underscored rising anti-foreign sentiment after nearly a decade of war.

The desecration at a small U.S. church has outraged Muslims worldwide, and in Afghanistan it further strained ties with the West. On Friday, 11 people were killed, including seven foreign U.N. employees, in a protest in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.

The protests come at a critical juncture as the U.S.-led coalition gears up for an insurgent spring offensive and a summer withdrawal of some “It was troops — and intended to stir with Afghan- the pot; if you istan’s mercu- don’t shake the rial president boat, everyone increasingly will stay in their q u e s t i o n i n g complacency.� international — Gainesville, motives and Fla., pastor NATO’s mili- Terry Jones tary strategy.

Two suicide attackers disguised as women blew themselves up and a third was gunned down Saturday when they used force to try to enter a NATO base on the outskirts of Kabul, NATO and Afghan police said. Earlier in the week, six U.S. soldiers died during an operation against insurgents in eastern Afghanistan near Pakistan, where the Taliban retain safe havens.

President Hamid Karzai expressed regret for the 20 protest deaths, but he also further stoked possible anti-foreign sentiment by again demanding that the United States and United Nations bring to justice the pastor of the Dove Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., where the Quran was burned March 20. Many Afghans did not know about the Quran-burning until Karzai condemned it four days after it happened.

The pastor, Terry Jones, had threatened to destroy a copy of Islam’s holy book last year but initially backed down. On Friday, he said Islam and its followers were responsible for the killings.

The U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan has some 1,500 staff — about 80 percent Afghans — operating in 18 regional and provincial offices across the country and in liaison offices in neighboring Pakistan and Iran.

In the face of furor, pastor is unrepentant His church’s membership is down to just a few of the faithful, he is basically broke and some of his neighbors wish he’d just go away, yet Jones, who organized a mock trial that ended with the burning of a Quran, remained unrepentant Saturday. He said that he was “saddened� and “moved� by the deaths, but that given the chance, he would do it all over again. “It was intended to stir the pot; if you don’t shake the boat, everyone will stay in their complacency,� Jones said in an interview at his office in the Dove World Outreach Center. “Emotionally, it’s not all that easy. People have tried to make us responsible for the people who are killed. It’s unfair and somewhat damaging. “Did our action provoke them?� the pastor continued. “Of course.

Is it a provocation that can be justified? Is it a provocation that should lead to death? When lawyers provoke me, when banks provoke me, when reporters provoke me, I can’t kill them. That would not fly.�

In recent weeks, Jones said, he had received 300 death threats, mostly via e-mail and telephone, and had been told by the FBI that there was a $2.4 million contract on his life.

Massacre claims 800 Ivorians

By Adam Nossiter New York Times News Service

DAKAR, Senegal — As rebels swept across Ivory Coast on Saturday in a rapid advance to oust the nation’s strongman, Laurent Gbagbo, hundreds of people were reported to have been killed in a single town last week, by far the worst episode of violence reported in the four-month political crisis that has plunged the country back into civil war.

The number was unclear, though the U.N.’s estimate of 330 was accepted as too low, as both the International Committee of the Red Cross and a prominent Catholic charity working in the country put the death toll closer to 1,000.

The Red Cross, which most definitively counted 800, could not say who was responsible. But the U.N. said more than 100 had been killed by Gbagbo’s fighters, while

about 200 had been killed by forces loyal to his rival, Alassane Ouattara, the man recognized by the U.N., the African Union and others as the winner of last year’s presidential election.

Ouattara’s government issued a statement denying responsibility for atrocities in any part of the country, saying its forces had discovered mass graves in other towns that were the result of massacres by Gbagbo’s forces. Ouattara’s repeated calls for an international military intervention to force out Gbagbo and end the violence have gone unheeded.

Throughout most of the crisis, civilian deaths have largely come at the hands of Gbagbo’s forces, eliciting threats of charges from international prosecutors. Human rights groups have also accused forces loyal to Ouattara of some extrajudicial killings, but

neither side has been implicated in a massacre even close to this scale. The total death toll previously estimated by the U.N. was about 500, over four months of tensions and sporadic violence.

The conflict between Ouattara and Gbagbo has unleashed longstanding ethnic rivalries, particularly in the lawless western regions of the country. On Saturday, the ICRC said that the large number of bodies it saw in the town of Duekoue on Thursday and Friday were apparently victims of “intercommunal violence.� But it did not assign responsibility for the killings.

The Red Cross team “saw a very large number of bodies,� said a spokeswoman, Dorothea Krimitsas. “They were shocked by the scale of it. We don’t have exact information as to who is behind this. There were at least 800.�

Fiscal fight promises war beyond 2011

By Carl Hulse

IN CONGRESS

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Congress has yet to settle its first budget fight of the year but is already about to move on to an even more consequential fiscal clash.

Even as the two parties struggled over the weekend to reach a deal on federal spending for the next six months and avert a government shutdown at the end of the week, House Republicans were completing a budget proposal for next year and beyond.

It is likely to spur an ideological showdown over the size of government and the role of entitlement programs like Medicaid and Medicare.

The plan, scheduled to be unveiled Tuesday, will be the most ambitious Republican effort since the November elections to put a conservative stamp on economic and domestic policy. It involves far greater stakes for Congress and for President Barack Obama than the current fight over spending cuts.

The outcome of that fight remained uncertain Saturday as congressional staff members assembled new proposals.

The longer-term budget proposal has been led by Rep. Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican who is his party’s leading voice on budget matters, and will go beyond numbers to provide policy prescriptions for some of the government’s largest programs.

It will call for deep spending cuts again in 2012, chart a path to reducing the deficit and slowing the growth of the accumulating

national debt, and grapple with the politically volatile issue of reining in the cost of entitlement programs, starting with Medicaid, which provides health coverage for the poor.

Ryan’s efforts, backed by Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders, are certain to meet serious resistance from the Democratic-led Senate and from Obama. In many respects, the nasty fight over financing the government for the next six months has been a warm-up for the longer-term budget battle, which could be further inflamed by a debate over raising the federal debt limit.

House Democrats, who are preparing an alternative budget, say the Republican approach would cut off aid to some of the neediest Americans and shortchange education programs vital to staying economically competitive.

Entitlement reform?

Republicans have been urging Obama to seize the opportunity provided by a divided government and lead a legislative push to rein in spending on programs like Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. Emboldened by their election wins and a sense that the public is ready for a new approach, House Republicans say they will push forward

GOP likely to leave out social policy add-ons WASHINGTON — Republicans in Congress have appeared eager to stuff any budget deal with a host of conservative social policies, such as dismantling the new health care law and barring federal aid to Planned Parenthood.

But with negotiators trying to work out a compromise before the government’s spending authority runs out Friday — meaning most federal functions will shut down unless a budget is adopted — GOP leaders privately seem willing to accept a deal without most of their social issues agenda. That’s because any agreement on a final dollar amount, widely expected to come this week, could go up or down depending on how many social policy changes wind up in a compromise.

Still, the anti-abortion, anti-health law advocates have kept incendiary issues in the political spotlight — and that could be a long-term risk for the Republican Party. “There’s a Republican economic agenda, and there’s a social agenda,� said Steven Smith, the director of the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government and Public Policy at Washington University in St. Louis. “The problem for the party is that independents by and large do not share the social agenda.� — McClatchy-Tribune News Service on their own and try to draw the president and Senate into a broader discussion about longterm deficit reduction and the soaring costs of the entitlement programs.

Details of the House budget are being tightly held. But lawmakers and other officials predict serious proposals to change Medicaid and Medicare, with talks continuing about how hard to push for adjustments in Social Security. “You are going to see major reforms,â€? said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., who sits on the Budget Committee. â€œâ€Ś Ryan isn’t touching the third rail,â€? he said, employing the expression used to suggest that messing with Social

Security and Medicare can be politically fatal. “He is wrapping both hands around it.�

The budget for 2012 and beyond could heighten the partisan tensions surrounding the financing debate for the current year.

If Congress cannot settle that issue by Friday, authorization for some government spending will expire, and parts of the federal government will be shut down.

And Ryan promised his blueprint would be a significant departure from the budget issued this year by Obama, which made no major recommendations on how to address the big entitlement programs. “The president is not leading; we need to,� he said.

UNREST IN LIBYA

Rebels, hit by NATO, also struggling on their own Anti-Gadhafi forces face rifts in their ranks as airstrike kills 13 accidentally

By Ben Hubbard and Ryan Lucas The Associated Press

Israeli, Palestinian and Western officials interviewed on the current impasse, most of them requesting anonymity, expressed an unusual degree of pessimism about a peaceful resolution. All agreed that the turmoil across the Middle East had prompted opposing responses from Israel and much of the world.

Israel, seeing the prospect of even more hostile governments as its neighbors, is insisting on caution and time before taking any significant steps. It also wants to build in extensive long-term security guarantees in any two-state solution, but those inevitably infringe the sovereignty of a Palestinian state.

The international community tends to draw the opposite conclusion. For example, Britain’s foreign secretary, William Hague, said recently one of the most important lessons to be learned from the Arab unrest was that “legitimate aspirations cannot be ignored and must be addressed.” He added, referring to Israeli-Palestinian talks, “It cannot be in anyone’s interests if the new order of the region is determined at a time of minimum hope in the peace process.”

The Palestinian focus on September stems not only from the fact that the General Assembly

The opposition has said soldiers have started to receive better training and clearer leadership in the past week. But a day after the strike, the interim government sought to distance itself from a popular army commander it had earlier embraced.

Khalifa Haftar, a former army colonel who recently returned to Libya after living for many years in Falls Church, Va., was initially hailed by the Transitional National Council as a leader who could help discipline the new army and train its largely volunteer ranks.

But Saturday, Ghoga said Haf-

holds its annual meeting then. It is also because Prime Minister Salam Fayyad announced in September 2009 that his government would be ready for independent statehood in two years and that Obama said last September that he expected the framework for an independent Palestinian state to be declared in a year.

Obama did not indicate what the borders of that state would be, assuming they would be determined through direct negotiations. But with Israeli-Palestinian talks broken off months ago and the Middle East in the process of profound change, many argue that outside pressure is needed.

Germany, France and Britain say negotiations should be based on the 1967 lines with equivalent land swaps, exactly what the Netanyahu government rejects because it says it predetermines the outcome.

“Does the world think it is going to force Israel to declare the 1967 lines and giving up Jerusalem as a basis for negotiation?” asked a top Israeli official who spoke on condition of anonymity. “That will never happen.”

While the Obama administration has referred in the past to the 1967 lines as a basis for talks, it has not decided whether to back the European Union, the United Nations and Russia — the other members of the so-called quartet — in declaring them the starting point, diplomats said. The quartet meets April 15 in Berlin.

Israel, which has settled hundreds of thousands of Jews inside the West Bank and East Jerusalem, acknowledges that it will have to withdraw from much of the land it now occupies there. But it hopes to hold onto the largest settlement blocs and much of East Jerusalem as well as the border to the east with Jordan and does not want to enter into talks with the other side’s position as the starting point.

That was true even before its closest ally in the Arab world, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, was driven from power, helping fuel protest movements that now roil other countries, including Jordan, which has its own peace agreement with Israel.

settlements, the source of much of the disagreement not only with the Palestinians but with the world. Not a single government supports Israel’s settlements.

The Israelis counter that the real problem is Palestinian refusal to accept openly a Jewish state here and ongoing anti-Israeli incitement and praise of violence on Palestinian airwaves.

Another central obstacle to the establishment of a State of Palestine has been the division between the West Bank and Gaza, the first run by the Palestinian Authority and the second by Hamas. Lately, Abbas has sought to bridge the gap, asking to go to Gaza to seek reconciliation through an agreed interim government that would set up parliamentary and presidential elections.

But Hamas, worried it would lose such elections and hopeful that the regional turmoil could work in its favor — that Egypt, for example, might be taken over by its ally, the Muslim Brotherhood — has reacted coolly.

Primary obstacles “Whatever we put forward has to be grounded in security arrangements because of what is going on regionally,” said Zalman Shoval, one of a handful of Netanyahu aides drawing up the Israeli proposal, which may be delivered as a speech to Congress in May. “We are facing the rebirth of the eastern front as Iran grows strong. We have to secure the Jordan Valley. And no Israeli government is going to move tens of thousands of Israelis from their homes quickly.”

tar had no leadership role in the army.

“We defined the military leadership before the arrival of Haftar from the United States,” he said, referring to the appointment of Abdul Fattah Younis as commander of the armed forces and Omar al-Hariri as the council’s senior defense official. “We told Mr. Haftar that if he wants, he can work within the structure that we have laid out.”

However, a source within the military who is close to Haftar said Haftar is still commanding the army, and that Ghoga’s announce-

Israeli strike prompts Hamas warning New York Times News Service Thousands of Palestinians attended in the Gaza Strip Saturday the funerals of three senior militants killed by Israel in an overnight airstrike, and Hamas leaders warned Israel

The Israeli strike early Saturday in southern Gaza came a week after the armed groups in Gaza reaffirmed an unofficial cease-fire with Israel.

PHOENIX — Flight attendants had just begun to take drink orders aboard Southwest Flight 812 on Friday when an explosion rocked the cabin.

Shawna Malvini Redden, a 28year-old doctoral student, on Saturday recalled covering her ears then feeling a brisk wind rush by. Oxygen masks fell, the cabin lost pressure, and Redden, now suddenly lightheaded, fumbled to maneuver her mask in place as the pilot began a rapid descent from about 34,400 feet in the sky.

The Phoenix-to-Sacramento flight was forced into an emergency landing at a military base in Yuma, Ariz., with a hole a few feet long in the roof of the passenger cabin. No serious injuries were reported among the 118 people aboard, according to Southwest officials.

What caused part of the fuselage to rupture on the 15-yearold Boeing 737-300 was a mystery, and investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived Saturday in Yuma to begin an investigation.

Southwest, meanwhile, grounded 79 similar planes so they could be inspected; some 300 flights were canceled Saturday. Southwest operates about 170 of the 737-300s in its fleet of about 540 planes.

What’s next at the U.N.?

Efforts are still under way to restart peace talks, but if, as expected, negotiations do not resume, come September the Palestinian Authority seems set to go ahead with plans to ask the General Assembly to accept it as a member.

Diplomats involved in the issue say most countries — more than 100 — are expected to vote yes, meaning it will pass. (There are no vetoes in the General Assembly, so the U.S. cannot save Israel as it often has in the Security Council.) What happens then?

Some Palestinian leaders say relations with Israel would change. “We will re-examine our commitments toward Israel, especially our security commitments,” suggested Hanna Amireh, who is on the 18-member ruling board of the Palestine Liberation Organization, referring to cooperation between Palestinian and Israeli troops. “The main sense about Israel is that we are fed up.”

Shaath said Israel would then be in daily violation of the rights of a fellow member state and diplomatic and legal consequences could follow, all of which would be painful for Israel.

In Haaretz newspaper on Thursday, Ari Shavit, who is a political centrist, drew a comparison between 2011 and the biggest military setback Israel ever faced, the 1973 war.

He wrote that “2011 is going to be a diplomatic 1973,” because a Palestinian state will be recognized internationally. “Every military base in the West Bank will be contravening the sovereignty of an independent U.N. member state.” He added, “A diplomatic siege from without and a civil uprising from within will grip Israel in a stranglehold.”

Few allies remain

mate, with rebels controlling most of the eastern part of the country but unable to oust Gadhafi from power. The government has rejected a rebel-proposed truce that would essentially leave the country divided in half.

The rebel force has been criticized for its inexperience — many of the soldiers had never picked up a weapon before the uprising against Gadhafi began — and it narrowly missed being routed in March when coalition planes halted Gadhafi’s forces as they reached Benghazi, the rebel capital.

Continued from A1 Barak added, “Paralysis, rhetoric, inaction will deepen the isolation of Israel.”

With aides to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thrashing out proposals to the Palestinians, President Shimon Peres is due at the White House on Tuesday to meet with President Barack Obama and explore ways out of the bind. The United States is still uncertain how to move the process forward, according to diplomats in Jerusalem.

Israel’s offer is expected to include transfer of some West Bank territory outside its settlements to Palestinian control and may suggest a regional component — an international conference to serve as a response to the Arab League peace initiatives.

But Palestinian leaders, emboldened by support for their statehood bid, dismiss the expected offer as insufficient and continue to demand an end to settlement building before talks can begin.

“We want to generate pressure on Israel to make it feel isolated and help it understand that there can be no talks without a stop to settlements,” said Nabil Shaath, who leads the foreign affairs department of Fatah, the main party of the Palestinian Authority.

“Without that, our goal is membership in the United Nations General Assembly in September.”

BENGHAZI, Libya — Libya’s rebel military struggled Saturday to explain an apparent rift within its highest ranks while acknowledging its soldiers’ role in a mistaken NATO bombing of rebel columns the night before.

A NATO airstrike intended to thwart Moammar Gadhafi’s forces killed 13 rebel fighters in eastern Libya instead, the opposition said Saturday, but they described it as an “unfortunate accident” and stressed it did not diminish their support for the international air campaign.

The strike illustrated the hazards of conducting an aerial bombing campaign against a fluid and fast-moving front line.

Several cars and an ambulance were also incinerated, and opposition leaders said rebels may have been responsible for the bombing because they had fired their guns into the air in celebration.

The rebels’ response to the attack — blaming it on a mistake within their ranks — highlighted their heavy dependence on the international air campaign as they face the superior military power of the longtime Libyan leader.

The misfire also showed the challenges the coalition faces in identifying targets without coordination with forces on the ground.

The incident came as the rebels and forces loyal to Gadhafi increasingly appear locked in stale-

ment had upset the public.

Sorting rebels from Gadhafi’s forces has become more difficult recently, as some loyalists have given up tanks and other armored vehicles for the kind of equipment the rebels rely on: pickup truck and other vehicles equipped with makeshift armaments.

NATO, which on Thursday took over what had been a U.S.-led military campaign to stop Gadhafi from attacking his own people, also is investigating whether other airstrikes have killed civilians in western Libya, as the Libyan government claims. The United States, meanwhile, was ending its role in combat missions Saturday, leaving that work for other nations.

On Saturday, U.S. combat aircraft flew 24 strike missions in Libya, the Pentagon said. But starting today, no U.S. combat aircraft are to fly strike missions in Libya.

NATO’s on-scene commander can request American strikes in the days ahead, in which case they may have to be approved in Washington.

In Syria, meanwhile, security agents tightened security and made sweeping arrests Saturday as President Bashar Assad tried to cut off two weeks of deadly pro-democracy demonstrations that are threatening his family’s ruling dynasty. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed deep concern about the violence and called on Syria’s government to address the “legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people.”

From distant labs, a vivid picture of the crisis

By William J. Broad New York Times News Service

For the clearest look at what is happening at Japan’s Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, talk to scientists thousands of miles away.

Thanks to the unfamiliar but sophisticated field of atomic forensics, experts around the world have been able to document the situation vividly. Over decades, they have become very good at illuminating the hidden workings of nuclear power plants from afar, turning scraps of information into detailed analyses.

For example, an analysis by a French energy company revealed far more about the condition of the plant’s reactors than the Japanese have ever described: water levels at the reactor cores dropping by as much as three-quarters, and temperatures in those cores soaring to nearly 5,000 F, hot enough to burn and melt the zirconium casings that protect the fuel rods.

Scientists in Europe and America also know from observing the explosions of hydrogen gas at the plant that the nuclear fuel rods had heated to very dangerous levels, and from radioactive plumes how far the rods had disintegrated.

At the same time, the evaluations also show that the reactors at Fukushima Dai-ichi escaped the deadliest outcomes — a complete meltdown of the plant.

Most of these computer-based forensics systems were developed after the partial meltdown at Three Mile Island in 1979, when regulators found they were essentially blind to what was happening in the reactor. Since then, to satisfy regulators, companies that run nuclear power plants use snippets of information coming out of a plant to develop simulations of what is happening inside and to perform a variety of risk evaluations.

Assessing the radiation danger, near and far Highly radioactive water was leaking into the sea Saturday from a crack discovered at a nuclear power plant destabilized by last month's earthquake and tsunami, a new setback as frustrated survivors of the disasters complained that Japan's government was paying too much attention to the nuclear crisis. The contaminated water will quickly dissipate into the sea and is not expected to cause any health hazard. Nevertheless, the disturbing discovery points at the unexpected problems that can crop up and continue to hamper technicians trying to control the crisis. Below are current assessments of the radiation from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant by the Japanese authorities, the International Atomic Energy Association and others.

AIR

Readings about a quarter-mile from the most heavily damaged reactors have been stable for several days. Near 1 millisievert per hour, these levels could be associated with slightly higher cancer risk after four days.

A daily dose of 0.8 millisieverts was recorded 19 miles northwest of the plant on Thursday. I.A.E.A. guidelines recommend temporary relocation if levels reach 30 millisieverts per month.

Other than in Fukushima and Ibaraki, levels are not far from normal. In Tokyo, levels were 25 percent above the normal range on Friday, well below the level of background radiation of some areas of the United States.

Trace amounts of radiation from Japan have been detected across the United States and Europe. But natural background radiation is more than 100,000 times the highest levels detected.

SOIL

Traces of plutnonium were detected in samples taken on March 21 and 22. The levels were not unsafe, but may have provided more evidence that a partial meltdown had occurred in at least one reactor.

Very high concentrations of cesium 137 were found near the village of Iitate, 25 miles northwest of the plant. The levels were about twice as high as the threshold for declaring areas uninhabitable around Chernobyl.

Cesium 137 was detected in more than 10 prefectures on Thursday, but the highest reading, in Utsunomiya, was 4,000 times lower than what was found in Iitate.

WATER

Highly radioactive water from a damaged maintenance pit is leaking into the sea.

At stations 19 miles offshore, the highest readings were taken on March 23, and contaminants are expected to dissipate quickly.

At some places in Fukushima, drinking tap water is not recommended for infants.

On March 22 and 23, iodine 131 above the recommended limit for infants was detected at a tap water treatment plant in Tokyo. But by the beginning of last week, no iodine 131 was detected.

Radiation in rainwater in British Columbia was less than one millionth the amount shown to cause thyroid diseases. A person would have to drink 3 million glasses at one time to reach a problematic dose in the thyroid.

FOOD

Fishing has been banned in the evacuation zone.

Radioactive cesium was detected in broccoli in Fukushima Prefecture well above the country's limit. The estimated increase in cancer risk of eating two unwashed pounds is about two chances in a million.

Radioactive cesium was detected in beef from Tenei at a level just above Japan's legal limit. The estimated increase in cancer risk of eating two pounds is about one chance in 10 million.

Radiation levels detected in milk from Washington state were 5,000 times lower than limits set by the Food and Drug Administration. A person would have drink 1,552 gallons of this milk to reach the limit.

The most contaminated areas are northwest of the plant

Forensic modeling Indeed, the detailed assessments of the Japanese reactors that Energy Secretary Steven Chu gave on Friday — when he told reporters that about 70 percent of the core of one reactor had been damaged, and that another reactor had undergone a 33 percent meltdown — came from forensic modeling.

The bits of information that drive these analyses range from the simple to the complex. They can include everything from the length of time a reactor core lacked cooling water to the subtleties of the gases and radioactive particles being emitted from the plant. Engineers feed the data points into computer simulations that churn out detailed portraits of the imperceptible, including many specifics on the melting of the fuel cores.

Governments and companies now possess dozens of these independently developed computer programs, known in industry jargon as “safety codes.� Many of these institutions — including ones in Japan — are relying on forensic modeling to analyze the disaster at Fukushima Dai-ichi to plan for a range of activities, including evacuations, and to forecast the likely outcome. “The codes got better and better� after the accident at Three Mile Island revealed the poor state of reactor assessment, said Michael Golay, a professor of nuclear science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

These portraits of the Japanese disaster tend to be proprietary and confidential, and in some cases secret. One reason the assessments are enormously sensitive for industry and government is the relative lack of precedent: The atomic age has seen the construction of nearly 600 civilian power plants, but according to the World Nuclear Association, only three have undergone serious accidents in which their fuel cores melted down.

Now, as a result of the crisis in Japan, the atomic simulations

suggest that the number of serious accidents has suddenly doubled, with three of the reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex in some stage of meltdown. Even so, the public authorities have sought to avoid grim technical details that might trigger alarm or even panic. “They don’t want to go there,� said Robert Alvarez, a nuclear expert who, from 1993 to 1999, was a policy adviser to the secretary of energy. “The spin is all about reassurance.�

Years in the making If events in Japan unfold as they did at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, the forensic modeling could go on for some time. It took more than three years before engineers lowered a camera to visually inspect the damaged core of the Pennsylvania reactor, and another year to map the extent of the destruction. The core turned out to be about half melted.

By definition, a meltdown is the severe overheating of the core of a nuclear reactor that results in either the partial or full liquefaction of its uranium fuel and supporting metal lattice, at times with the atmospheric release of deadly radiation. Partial meltdowns usually strike a core’s middle regions instead of the edge, where temperatures are typically lower.

Chicago, said that the first sign of major trouble at any reactor was the release of hydrogen — a highly flammable gas that has fueled several large explosions at Fukushima Dai-ichi. The gas, he said in an interview, indicated that cooling water had fallen low, exposing the hot fuel rods.

The next alarms, Henry said, centered on various types of radioactivity that signal increasingly high core temperatures and melting.

First, he said, “as the core gets hotter and hotter,� easily evaporated products of atomic fission — like iodine 131 and cesium 137 — fly out. If temperatures rise higher, threatening to melt the core entirely, he added, less volatile products such as strontium 90 and plutonium 239 join the rising plume. The lofting of the latter particles in large quantities points to “substantial fuel melting,� Henry said.

He added that he and his col-

leagues modeled the Japanese accident in its first days and discerned partial — not full — core melting.

The big players in reactor modeling are federal laboratories and large nuclear companies such as General Electric, Westinghouse and Areva, a French group that supplied reactor fuel to the Japanese complex.

The Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M., wrote one of the most respected codes.

It models whole plants and serves as a main tool of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the federal agency that oversees the nation’s reactors.

A European atomic official monitoring the Fukushima crisis expressed sympathy for Japan’s need to rely on forensics to grasp the full dimensions of the unfolding disaster. “Clearly, there’s no access to the core,� the official said. “The Japanese are honestly blind.�

Obama set to tap big-money donors for 2012 bid

By Dan Eggen and Perry Bacon Jr. The Washington Post

President Barack Obama is about to make one of Washington’s worst-kept secrets official: He wants a second term.

Democratic officials familiar with the president’s plans said Saturday that Obama intends to file papers as early as this coming week with the Federal Election Commission to launch his 2012 re-election campaign.

He also will announce his candidacy to supporters by e-mail and text messages.

Facing an energized Republican Party and deep-pocketed conservative groups, Obama is kicking off the 2012 re-election campaign with a concerted push for help from wealthy donors and liberal groups unbound by spending limits.

The strategy — which could begin in earnest as early as Monday — suggests a notable shift in emphasis for a president who has long decried the role of money in politics.

Obama frequently points with pride to the role that smaller donors played in his 2008 election, when his campaign also openly discouraged spending by outside organizations. But now Obama finds himself seeking out the kind of big-money donations he has often criticized while encouraging independent groups to raise and spend unlimited money on his behalf.

Obama’s campaign manager-in-waiting, Jim Messina, has asked the party’s biggest supporters to raise $350,000 each this year, to be shared by Obama’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, far higher than goals set during the 2008 cycle.

The effort could yield $140 million or more by the start of 2012, a pace likely to provide a major advantage to Obama and his party over potential GOP rivals.

By comparison, Republican challenger Mitt Romney has set a minimum goal of $50 million for the primaries, though GOP strategists expect him to raise more.

The official start of Obama’s Chicago-based campaign is expected this week with an announcement to supporters.

That will be followed by a whirlwind of major fundraisers scheduled later this month in Chicago, New York and California focused on both wealthy and middle-class donors.

Yet the race is dogged by fears among supporters that Obama may not be able to match the historic fundraising juggernaut of 2008, when the candidate brought in nearly $750 million, much of it from small contributions solicited online.

Some backers worry that a limping economy and disaffection among liberal activists and Wall Street donors could dampen Obama’s fundraising ability this time around.

Gear Continued from A1 Long before the team’s trip to the Korengal Valley, the Army Science Board warned of a big weight problem for infantry troops. A 2001 board study concluded that Army soldiers and Marines faced a “severe restriction� in mobility due to the weight of their gear. They recommended the military try to eventually reduce the total load to 50 pounds.

That report helped spur development of some lighter equipment. “We’re always trying to provide more capacity to the soldier at lighter weight,� said Col. Bill Cole, a project manager for Program Executive Office Soldier, which outfits the Army.

But even as the military shaved pounds off some gear, the overall load remained far in excess of Army and Marine guidelines.

As roadside bombs and other attacks killed and wounded thousands of U.S. troops, the Pentagon’s improved body-armor protection still weighed more than 30 pounds, and new fighting gear under development could add to the total.

A heavy-load case study The Land Warrior, a high-tech system that soaked up more than $500 million in research funds, is a case study of the struggle to control weight.

The Army spent more than a decade developing a system that allows soldiers to track their own forces and the enemy by flipping down an eyepiece mounted on the helmet.

The model, first tested in Iraq by soldiers from Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state, weighed 18.6 pounds — and more than 20 pounds with extra batteries. “It was this huge hulk on your back that really inhibited your ability to function,� said Kevin Baker, who served in the battalion that tested the Land Warrior. In one instance, Baker recalls climbing a wall on patrol when a Land Warrior cable caught around a tree branch, suspending him in the air for several minutes.

The Army sought to cancel the Land Warrior. But Congress revived it. So in 2009, the Army launched a second combat test in Afghanistan with a slimmeddown model that weighed more than 10 pounds with extra batteries. Even this model proved a substantial drag as soldiers slogged

through farm fields and climbed over mud walls. “My opinion is that it has got to get lighter or die on the vine,� said Command Sgt. Maj. Robert Prosser in a 2009 interview while he was serving with the 5th (Stryker) Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, that tested the Land Warrior.

Another version, slimmer still, is under development.

No one-size-fits-all The Asymmetric Warfare Group was formed in the early years of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to find new ways to fight insurgents. The staff, which included many Special Forces veterans, was adept at cutting through Pentagon bureaucracy to push for innovation.

The team worked with an Army force that specialized in rapid procurement to buy lighter gear directly from commercial vendors. They found money to outfit more than 550 soldiers in eastern Afghanistan with gear that could trim each soldier’s load by up to 24 pounds, Roels said. For example, an Army Times story noted that they bought lighter sleeping bags from Mountain Hardwear that were nearly 1½ pounds lighter than the standard Army bag.

By spring 2009, the lightweight gear was ready to ship, and the

team already was in Afghanistan in anticipation of its arrival.

But the shipments were abruptly put on hold by Army leaders who wanted further testing of the lighter body armor. “People don’t care about changing socks or kneepads, but you start talking about lighter armor and — oh boy, well, I tell you — you’re in a whole new realm,�

Roels said.

The slimmed-down armor was like that already used by Marines and some Army Special Forces.

It featured front, back and side plates to protect the vital organs but shed some of the softer protective material around other parts of the body.

The Army agreed to let the armor go to Afghanistan after slightly heavier plates were substituted for those used by the Special Forces, according to Roels.

The new armor weighed about 22 pounds but could be stripped down to as light as 17 pounds and was less constricting. It was an instant hit with infantry soldiers. “They hit it out of the ballpark on this one,� said 1st Sgt. Gary O’Neil, a soldier with the 4th Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, who received the gear in Afghanistan. “I have been in the Army 14 years and never seen anything comparable to what they pulled off. “We had some guys come out on

surgents in the orchards of southern Afghanistan.

Some Army units are stepping up airdrops of water and other supplies to soldiers on multiday missions. Others have turned to an ancient resupply tactic — donkeys that can thread their way up the mountains of eastern Afghanistan. But they have their drawbacks: “A donkey will run in the middle of a firefight, and our men will testify to that,� said Lt. Col. Brian Pearl, whose soldiers used the animals in 2009.

Iodine pills or portable purification pumps are another option. But none of the commercial pumps can meet the military’s strict purity standards, and the Army has yet to come up with its own approved model.

patrol with the heavier standard vest, and you could see a huge difference in how they moved when we came under fire. Personally, I felt safer in what I had on.�

Since 2009, the Army has distributed more than 48,000 of the lighter-weight armor to front-line soldiers in Afghanistan.

Rather than trying a one-sizefits-all approach, officers in the field were encouraged to decide when the lighter-weight vests were appropriate, such as during long foot patrols, or when heavier vests were, such as during guard duty at a base or vehicle transport. “It was kind of a paradigm shift, 360 degrees from everything we had been doing to up-armor Humvees and soldiers,� Roels said.

Water weight and frightened donkeys The Army is considering other steps to ease soldiers’ loads.

Water is a big part of the weight that soldiers carry to endure brutally hot summer temperatures in Afghanistan. A 2003 Army study found soldiers carry up to 7 quarts of water, weighing nearly 14 pounds, for a two-day mission.

Still, some soldiers occasionally run out of water. Members of a Lewis-McChord platoon in 2009 turned to sucking the juice of pomegranates as they fought in-

The Pentagon also is pursuing high-tech aids. Plastics are replacing brass casings in a new generation of machine-gun ammunition under development. Scientists are also hopeful that nanotechnology to create new materials might one day help produce lightweight body armor that would fit a soldier almost like an outer skin.

Aerial drones, already used extensively for surveillance, might one day airlift water, food or ammunition to soldiers.

Robots also are under study. An “exoskeleton� developed by Lockheed Martin uses titanium legs strapped to a soldier to transfer the weight of their pack to the ground.

Lockheed is also working on robotic mules that can travel alongside foot soldiers, carrying supplies and weapons. The Army is considering testing a six-wheeled beast of burden in Afghanistan.

The Defense Department also has been funding development of a nimble, four-legged robot dubbed “Big Dog� in its initial incarnation. Powered by internal combustion engines, such robots eventually will be able to climb over a 4-foot wall, wade streams and handle other obstacles that soldiers routinely face on patrol, said Marc Raibert of Boston Dynamics, which last year won a $32 million contract to build the robot.

Still, skeptics question the costs and practicality of robots.

Ultimately, they say, soldiers and their commanders need to realize the risks of too much weight and strive to travel light. “If I have to have a robot to carry my gear, maybe there is another problem,� Roels said. “Too much gear.�

Every year, thousands of people make a deal with their doctor: I’ll pay you a fixed annual fee, whether or not I need your services, and in return you’ll see me the day I call, remember who I am and what ails me, and give me your undivided attention.

But this arrangement potentially poses a big threat to Medicare and to the new world of medical care envisioned under President Barack Obama’s health overhaul.

The spread of “concierge medicine,� where doctors limit their practice to patients who pay a fee of about $1,500 a year, could drive a wedge among the insured.

Eventually, people unable to afford the retainer might find themselves stuck on a lower tier, facing less time with doctors and longer waits.

Medicare recipients, who account for a big share of patients in doctors’ offices, are the most vulnerable. The program’s financial troubles are causing doctors to reassess their participation.

But the impact could be broader because primary care doctors are in short supply and the health law will bring in more than 30 million newly insured patients. “What we are looking at is the prospect of a more explicitly tiered system where people with money have a different kind of insurance relationship than most of the middle class, and where Medicare is no longer as universal as we would like it to be,� said John Rother, policy director for AARP. Medicare declined an interview on potential consequences. “There are no policy changes in the works at this time,� said spokeswoman Ellen Griffith.

Aquatic Continued from A1 The facility opened in 2008 with a lap pool, an activity pool with a shallow play area and spray toys for small children, a hot tub and a 19-foot water slide.

Voters narrowly approved two measures in 2004 to create the pool. One measure established the operations levy and the other approved an $8.1 million bond sale to finance construction of the swim center. The bond is being paid back from a property tax levy of 69 cents per $1,000 in assessed value and comes off the tax roll in 2027.

DeRoest said he remembers the narrow victory in 2004 but hopes voters will recognize the pool’s value if they are asked to increase the tax rate.

“We’ve been open for three years, and I’m a big believer that every community should have a swimming pool,” DeRoest said.

During the closure, the pool intends to install a diving board and a game system in its party room.

DeRoest said the facility has provided students between third and sixth grades swim lessons as part of the school district’s physical education program.

The facility has also served as host for multiple swim meets on a year-round basis, including the high school district championship meet.

Doctors Continued from A1 Young represents the surging interest of young Americans in combating the deadly epidemics ravaging the world’s poorest countries, fueled in part by the billions of dollars that the American government, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other organizations have poured into international health in recent years.

Across sub-Saharan Africa, an extreme shortage of health workers remains a critical barrier to fighting illness. The region bears a quarter of the world’s burden of disease, but has only 3 percent of its health care workers, according to the World Health Organization.

Public health experts say efforts like the one involving Young have proved particularly useful on a continent that sorely needs pediatricians, surgeons and other specialists to train African doctors and nurses in the field.

And demand for such opportunities is rising. More than 70 universities in the United States and Canada now offer formal aca-

sacrifice and service. It reminds me of the ’60s.”

The children of powerful politicians are part of this new generation of global health enthusiasts.

Vanessa Kerry, 34, a Harvardtrained doctor and the daughter of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., is advocating a Peace Corps-like federal program that would send American doctors and nurses to work and train health workers in developing countries.

And Barbara Bush, 29, a daughter of President George W. Bush, co-founded the nonprofit Global Health Corps, which this year sent 36 college graduates from eight countries to work with nonprofit groups, mostly in Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi and Uganda.

More than 1,000 people applied for the yearlong fellowships.

The Pediatric AIDS Corps that sent Young here, largely financed by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation and the Baylor College of Medicine, never advertised for applicants after the first class of doctors was recruited in 2005. Word of mouth produced far more highly qualified physicians from universities all over the United States than the project could ever hire.

In addition to the salary, the program paid down as much as $40,000 of the doctors’ educational debt for each year of service — making it possible for Young to join, though he owed $170,000 after his undergraduate and medical studies. His mother was an assembly-line worker, and in hard times the family relied on Medicaid. Young himself never had a steady pediatrician as a child.

With a laugh, he said that his friends back home asked him if he had running water or used an outhouse in Africa. “We’re not roughing it here by any means,” he tells them. He drives a 10-year-old Opel Corsa, but lives in a pleasant townhouse in the sleepy capital, Maseru, with wireless Internet and a housekeeper who comes twice a week. For the first time in his life, he has gone skiing — in Lesotho’s breathtaking mountains.

But it is the work that gives the job its meaning, the doctors say.

Lineo Thahane attended Princeton University and got her medical degree at Washington University in St. Louis. It was a 2003 rotation in Lesotho’s main public hospital during her residency — when children were still dying

of AIDS for lack of antiretroviral treatment — that made her want to return to Africa. Her parents were both from Lesotho, but she was born and raised in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Thahane, 35, joined the first crop of Pediatric AIDS Corps doctors in Lesotho, and now helps her mother, Dr. Edith Mohapi, 64, who for 20 years managed pediatric outpatient services at Arlington Hospital in Virginia, to run Baylor’s pediatric HIV programs in Lesotho.

“I felt, ‘This is where the need is,’” Thahane said.

More than 6,500 children in Lesotho, a country with a population of 2 million people and the world’s third-highest rate of HIV infection, now receive the lifesaving medications. While that is progress, it is still only about a quarter of those in need of treatment, according to UNAIDS, the U.N. AIDS agency.

In the past five years, the corps has had 50 to 60 doctors working in Lesotho, Swaziland, Malawi and Botswana. The hospitals and clinics they supervise now care for more than 50,000 HIV-positive children, Baylor estimates.

DUBLIN — A 25-year-old Catholic policeman who had just joined Northern Ireland’s police force has been killed after a booby-trap bomb exploded as he got into his car, police and neighbors said.

No group claimed responsibility for the attack in the town of Omagh. But police and politicians universally blamed Irish Republican Army dissidents who have repeatedly planted bombs underneath the private cars of off-duty police officers, particularly new Catholic recruits, in a bid to stop cross-community support for law and order.

Until Saturday, such boobytrap attacks had badly maimed two other officers but killed nobody. It was the first lethal attack on Northern Ireland security forces in more than two years. Several IRA splinter groups remain active here.

Anti-terrorist authorities estimate they have fewer than 500 members combined and no capacity to mount a sustained campaign of violence, only an occasional ability to kill.

Colombia to deny kingpin’s extradition BOGOTA, Colombia — A Venezuelan businessman sitting in a Colombian jail could provide valuable evidence about the suspected close relationship between cocaine traffickers and the Venezuelan government, U.S. officials say.

But Colombia’s government has signaled that Walid Makled will not be extradited to the U.S., which has blacklisted him as a “significant foreign narcotics trafficker.” He will be sent to Venezuela, they say, where he is accused of fabricating stories as part of a smear campaign to debilitate his leftist movement, which opposes U.S. policies in the region.

10 years after Milosevic’s arrest, Serbians still wait for prosperity

By Gordana Filipovic and James M. Gomez Bloomberg News

BELGRADE, Serbia — Ljubica Mladic, a 76-year-old pensioner, says Serbia should join the European Union. Ljubica Rovic, an unemployed wallpaper hanger, says it shouldn’t. Mladic favors capital from abroad; Rovic wants foreign banks to leave.

The two women, who were win-

Recovery Continued from A1 Statewide, Avakian said, legislation to boost the economy is beginning to pay off. “The Oregon economy created 9,800 jobs in February, the largest gain since 1996,” Avakian said. “The job growth in February followed a strong job gain of 6,700 in January, and the Oregon economy has now created jobs for five straight months.”

Ruth Lindley, marketing manager at Economic Development for Central Oregon, said signs of economic recovery are also emerging in Central Oregon, where manufacturing companies have been expanding and adding jobs in response to increasing demand for products, especially in the medical supplies industry and other high-tech manufacturing sectors.

From January to February, Crook County’s unemployment rate dropped from 17.5 percent to 16.4 percent.

It dropped from 14 percent to 13.1 percent in Deschutes County and from 14.1 percent to 13.4 percent in Jefferson County.

The March 21 forecast from the state Office of Economic Analysis also contained good news.

Last year ended on a positive note as fourth-quarter job growth was the strongest in three years.

OEA’s March 21 report upwardly revised their forecast for 2011 job growth from their last report in December.

The forecast calls for an increase of 1.4 percent in total employment this year followed by a stronger 2012, with a projected increase of 2 percent employment growth.

The OEA forecast projects private-sector job growth will carry the day with a 2.2 percent increase in 2012. The public sector, which typically lags the rest of the economy in recessions, will cut jobs this year 2.3 percent as state and local government agencies struggle to balance budgets.

This year, the information sector, which includes newspapers, software and telecom, is expected to be the fastest-growing broad industry with a 7.3 percent job growth in 2011, according to the OEA forecast.

Avakian pointed to the March 15 Oregon Department of Employment report as a sign the recovery is picking up steam.

That report showed that among the job gains, the construction industry, which was the sector hardest hit in Oregon during the recession, posted encouraging signs of recovery with the addition of 1,200 jobs in February.

“The construction sector appears to have turned the corner and headed upward,” said David Cooke, an Employment Department economist.

He said the construction sector statewide bottomed out at 67,000 jobs between June and November 2010 but has posted job gains in each of the past three months to reach 70,300 jobs in February.

For the construction sector in Central Oregon, Lindley said, a review of the available housing conducted by EDCO shows that while there may be a glut of higher-priced housing, there appears to be a shortage of homes priced $80,000 to $200,000, which has been a stumbling block to sealing the deal with manufacturing companies interested in locating in Bend or elsewhere in Central Oregon.

Across the state, manufacturing posted its second consecutive monthly job gain, adding 2,400 jobs in February, and is now up 4,600 jobs statewide since February 2010, Cooke said.

Statewide job gains also included 5,000 more jobs statewide in retail trade, 3,300 more in professional and business services, and 5,100 more in leisure and hospitality for February 2011 compared with February 2010.

Cooke said increases in average hourly earnings also reflect improvement in the private-sector economy, and he reported that between November and January, Oregon’s hourly earnings rose from $21.55 to $22.03.

dow-shopping in Belgrade’s threeyear-old Usce shopping mall, agree on one thing: The former Yugoslav republic is floundering.

“Everything has changed for the worse,” complained Mladic after peering at a well-stocked Ecco shoe display. Rovic, 62, agreed.

“I know it’s impossible to make everyone happy, but can’t they at least please 75 percent of us?”

Ten years after Slobodan Mi-

losevic’s March 31 arrest for war crimes, citizens are still waiting for authorities to make good on promises to create jobs, stamp out corruption and build trust in the Balkan nation’s institutions. No Cabinet since Milosevic’s ouster has lasted four years, the government is struggling to sell state assets, borrowing costs are the highest in Europe and entry into the 27-nation bloc is years away.

Serbia’s long-term credit rating, raised by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service on March 16 to BB, is still two levels below investment grade and lower than those of Romania, Russia and Croatia. The 12.25 percent main interest rate is Europe’s highest and last month’s 19.2 percent jobless rate tops the 9.9 percent euro-region average and every EU nation except Spain.

“Citizens are most afraid of

uncertainty and have reached a high level of distrust,” said Logar.

“People are unhappy because of a sense of injustice.”

That sense of injustice has prompted about 3,000 people to sign up on Facebook to protest on Monday in one of Belgrade’s main squares, the venue of many opposition protests in the past.

The nation is still dogged by the shadow of the 1990s Balkan wars,

the bloodiest in Europe since World War II, and concerns about corruption. Serbia is rated 78th by Transparency International on that issue, behind Bulgaria and Romania and former Yugoslav partners Croatia and Slovenia.

“Enough’s enough! Day by day, we are sinking deeper and deeper and it’s clear to everyone that life in Serbia has become unbearable,” the invitation for the protest said.

Savings found in water redo

Examining each week of the 2011 Legislature from a Central Oregon perspective Analysis

Prison idea is likely a no-go

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

SALEM — Last spring, when Deschutes County Sheriff Larry Blanton backed a bond to expand the county jail, about 50 miles north a state prison sat empty — and voters noticed.

“When we made a pitch for our funding, a common question was, ‘Why can’t the inmates go to the state facility?’” Blanton said.

The Deer Ridge Correctional Institution in Madras, the state’s newest prison, has mothballed its 1,224-bed facility. Since last spring, a lot has changed. Voters did

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

By shrinking the diameter of a 10-mile-long steel pipe by 6 inches, the city of Bend can potentially shave $2.75 million off the $58 million to $73 million reconstruction of its Bridge Creek water system.

That idea came out of a $82,000 value engineering

study performed by Robinson, Stafford and Rude, Inc., a Florida-based firm that studied the project in February to look for potential savings.

Bend’s overhaul of its Bridge Creek system, which includes replacing a 10-mile pipeline, building a water treatment plant and possibly adding a hydropower generator, is considered

one of the largest infrastructure undertakings in the city’s history.

As a result, residents can expect to see their water bills increase by 50 percent or more over the next five years, according to city estimates that continue to be altered and refined.

In addition to a possible change in the pipeline diameter,

the city also is considering other modifications to the design of its surface water system that could save another $660,000.

City Engineer Tom Hickmann said more savings could be found as the design of the surface water project progresses and more of the value engineering firm’s suggestions are studied for effectiveness. The estimated worth of those savings is between $780,000 and $7.2 million.

A power shortage did nothing to deter book lovers.

Power went out during the last hour of the book sale by the Friends of the Bend Libraries on Saturday. But customers continued their shopping in the dimly lit basement of the library. For safety reasons, the library shut down the sale to new patrons, but allowed those already shopping to continue under a camping lamp and some cellphone lights.

Still, many found the sale a bargain. Most

hardback books were a dollar, and paperbacks were going for 50 cents. Several patrons wheeled their purchases out in boxes on a dolly.

Kathy Minar was shopping with her daughter. “We utilize the library mostly, but we like the book sales.”

She buys about four to six books at the sales.

Book sales are held four to five times a year, bringing in $6,000-$9,000 per sale, said Robert Byrd, the sale’s chairman.

It’s not only books that are for sale. Vinyl

MILITARY NOTES Rick Bowmer / The Associated Press

Since November, the transit department has approved the playing of classical music at a TriMet light rail stop at 162nd Avenue in Portland in an effort to ward off the kind of crimes that happen when people just hang around. A bill making its way through the Oregon Legislature would expand the program to all light rail stops in Clackamas, Washington and Multnomah counties deemed high-crime areas by police or residents.

Classical music played at Portland transit stops to deter ne’er-do-wells

By Nigel Duara The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Just feet from a methadone clinic at a grimy crossroads in far east Portland, transit officials and police are hoping a touch of class will chase off the vagrants, vandals and ne’er-do-wells who loiter near a busy transit stop.

Since November, the regional transit department has approved the playing of classical music in an effort to ward off the kind of crimes that happen when people just hang around.

A bill making its way through the Oregon Legislature would expand the program to all light rail stops in Clackamas, Washington and Multnomah counties deemed

high-crime areas by police or residents.

“Classical music” in this case means opera, chamber music, choral pieces and music requiring a full orchestra. On a drizzly Wednesday morning at a pilot site in Portland, it was Bizet’s aria from Carmen, the one that rolls to a slow boil as she tells the audience she only loves those who refuse to love her back.

“L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!

L’amour!” bellowed the mezzosoprano from a speaker boxed by metal bars. On the platform, one gentleman who looked to be in his 20s, decked head to waist in bright red, looked up at the speaker, then looked away.

He boarded the train, as did the rest of the platform.

“There’s no one that just hangs around,” said Scott Nielsen, who has met the train at the stop for 18 months. Before the music “they wouldn’t get on the train, that’s how you’d know they were (loitering).”

In many ways, the station at 162nd Avenue station is an ideal proving ground for the future of “The Marriage of Figaro” and “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” at transit stops.

The whole project was brought to Portland by police Lt. John Scruggs, a stats-happy former sergeant who heard of the program working in other cities and

thought it was worth a try.

“Here’s the thing,” he said. “It’s crime prevention through environmental design. If you put rose bushes in front of your bedroom window, the burglar is less likely to break in through that window because they don’t want to get cut up.”

To Scruggs, changing the music is changing the audio environment. “Eighteen-to-25-year-olds are not the big ones into classical music because it’s not cool.”

Uncultured youth aside, the program has shown early signs of success, though the numbers are so small as to be statistically insignificant — the light rail stop had all of nine reported crimes in 2010.

In 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed into law the Marshall Plan, designed to help European allies rebuild after World War II and resist Communism.

In 1968, the day before he was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “mountaintop” speech to a rally of striking sanitation workers.

North Vietnam agreed to meet with U.S. representatives to set up preliminary peace talks.

In 1996, an Air Force jetliner carrying Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and American business executives crashed in Croatia, killing all 35 people aboard.

Search resumes for missing Portland girl The Associated Press PORTLAND — The search on an extinct volcanic cinder cone for a 14-year-old Portland girl has gone into a second day, and police say it will resume today.

A 16-year-old boy, Parrish Bennette, has been charged with manslaughter in the death of Yashawnee Vaughn.

Police believe she died March 19.

A police spokesman says searchers Saturday numbered more than 100, including mountain rescue experts who roped up to examine parts of Rocky Butte.

He said they turned up nothing to report as they examined a Portland landmark that features steep slopes, heavy woods, a park and dozens of homes.

The Oregonian newspaper reports Bennette’s father lives near Rocky Butte. Separately, the paper reported, friends, family and supporters of Vaughn searched other wooded areas and planned a candlelight vigil Saturday night.

Inmates Continued from B1 “My whole point was, let’s see if there is a way to access some of the state facilities for cost efficiencies, and that was what was behind it,” Stiegler said.

It looks unlikely that her bill will go far in this session. But Stiegler stands by her idea.

“I think the idea is important.

Sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles and the time to pursue them,” Stiegler said. “We knew there was going to be some opposition from the DOC and concerns about budgetary issues, because that is obviously a big issue right now. … Things are so uncertain (for the department). It doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good idea or worth exploring.”

Earlier when this topic arose, DOC officials said it is against the law to house county inmates in state facilities. Right now, in general, an inmate with a sentence of less than 12 months is housed in a county jail. Those with sentences of more than 12 months are sent to a state prison. But Stiegler’s bill would have changed that, broadening the scope of who could be sent to prison. It would include those with less than a one-year sentence as well as pre-trial inmates. But DOC officials said opening up a state facility for county inmates would be cost prohibitive and make little sense.

“All the start-up costs we’re avoiding by keeping (Deer Ridge) closed at this time would have to be passed on to the county,” said Jeanine Hohn, a spokeswoman with the department.

A figure to open the mediumsecurity Deer Ridge is difficult to nail down, mainly because it’s impossible to open the entire facility at once. But to open it for 354 inmates for the last six months of the biennium, the estimated cost would be about $8 million. That accounts for facility costs, such as heating, security and staff costs, as well as food services.

Blanton said he spoke with Stiegler and the “idea made sense at the time.”

Snead Continued from B1 Snead and other officials say the rule stifles development by requiring upfront payments for road improvements to deal with impacts that won’t come until later. Snead has been COCO’s point man to work on modifying the rule, watching a variety of bills and

“It was good common sense,” he said. “Hey, aren’t there empty jail beds in Madras? Yes, there were empty jail beds in Madras, but there wasn’t staff in Madras to accommodate for additional county inmates. … The law did not easily allow county inmates to go to state facilities, that’s why the idea was let’s clean that up and make it an issue. Now, it’s not even a possibility, because the state is trying to figure out how to close facilities.”

Blanton also said the logistics to work out the relationship would be difficult. There would be transport costs. The way facilities are built also differs depending on the prison population. So, a facility that makes sense for a minimumsecurity inmate differs from that of a maximum-security inmate,

Nathanson said that when she shopped the bill around, there was little support and real concerns about the cost and how it would work. But, Nathanson said, the idea should be part of a broader conversation about corrections.

“Right now, we have a (disjointed) correction system, not a unified one,” she said. “And we need a larger conversation about the most cost-effective way to use all the facilities.”

Water Continued from B1 “I think that’s a great potential savings that they found for us,” Hickmann said of Robinson, Stafford and Rude’s engineering team. “In fact, I wish it was more than that.”

It’s still unclear how much of an impact these potential savings will have on ratepayers. The project is still in the preliminary design phases and the city still needs to evaluate all the value engineering firm’s suggestions.

On Wednesday, the Bend City Council will also get its first preview of the value engineering recommendations during a 5 p.m. work session.

The engineering firm came up with 31 ideas that help the city save money or build and operate its surface water system more efficiently. Added together those ideas equaled about $25 million.

But according to the value engineering firm’s report, those suggestions should be looked at like a shopping list that the city can pick and choose from. That report also acknowledges that all the suggestions can’t feasibly be implemented because some of the ideas might overlap with

similar changes or be contradictory to one another.

The biggest suggestion, at least in terms of dollar figures, that the value engineering firm made was for the city to abandon its idea of putting a 10-mile-long steel water transmission line under Skyliners Road.

Instead, the firm recommended using the current infrastructure and replacing one of the two aging pipelines that carry water from Bridge Creek with a smaller steel pipe. The pipe that would be replaced would be the older of the two, which was installed in the 1920s, and the second pipe, from 1957, would still be used.

By doing this, the value engineering firm estimated the city could save $12.3 million.

But when the city’s design consulting firm, HDR Engineering Inc., evaluated that idea it rejected the proposal because of a number of factors, including a loss of potential hydropower revenue and difficulties performing the work due to private easement issues.

The city and HDR, however, decided to explore the idea of using a smaller pipeline.

Perhaps one of the largest unanswered questions that came out of the value engineering study is whether the city should

Washington Continued from B1 The U.S. House voted to renew a voucher program affecting Washington, D.C., public schools that is estimated to cost $300 million over the next five years. The program had offered $7,500per-student vouchers to attend private school; however, vouchers will increase in the new law — paying $8,000 per student per year for elementary and middle school tuition and paying $12,000 for high school tuition. Only one Democrat voted for the bill, while nine Republicans voted against.

pursue hydropower. The value engineering firm wasn’t able to do a thorough analysis of this component because it’s still based on too many assumptions, such as energy cost estimates.

Because of these uncertainties, the value engineering firm recommended the city re-evaluate the hydropower option and whether it will generate enough in long-term revenues to be included in the project.

A smaller pipeline diameter would also reduce the amount of revenue that can be generated through hydropower.

“There are just a ton of questions that are outstanding,” said Don Stafford, the president of Robinson, Stafford and Rude.

“The city is going to be looking at the hydro question further anyway, so we knew there was going to be additional study on that whole question.”

City officials said they have put hydropower on hold, saying it’s just too expensive for ratepayers right now. Without hydro, the project is estimated to cost $58 million. With it, that price is $73 million.

‘Tex’ marks 105th year of quite a life in 1961 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 2, 1911 RIVER IS REACHED The track-laying machine is rushing the steel along the Oregon Trunk grade toward Bend.

The rails are already at Crooked River. In a short time the bridge building materials will be on hand and construction of the big structure spanning Crooked River undertaken.

The heavy passenger traffic over the new road into Central Oregon continues, this immigration probably averaging over 100 per day.

Metolius is now “on the map.”

The new town is building up rapidly. The Oregon Trunk well there, with a total depth of 870 feet, struck water at 665 feet.

The townsite company’s well struck water at 708 feet.

The party of Hill railroad men which was here last week, headed by H.A. Jackson, Asst.

Gen. Traffic Manager of the G.N., returned to Portland Friday, Mr. Jackson going to St. Paul this week. They were much impressed with the country and have given extremely rosy reports of their trip to the Portland press.

CITY SPICK AND SPAN Yesterday was “Clean-up Day” for Bend. By proclamation of the Mayor all property owners, lease holders and agents were instructed to clean up their premises and the streets and alleys adjoining them, piling the refuse for the city to haul away.

Handbills announcing the municipal housecleaning were delivered to property owners last week by the police officers. The result of the day’s work not yet entirely finished, is that practically all the streets and lots ad-

Y E S T E R D AY joining buildings are in spick and span shape.

MILL TO BE HERE “All the timber belonging to the Brooks-Scanlon, the Scanlon-Gipson and the Brooks-Robertson companies will be milled at Bend. More than 600 million feet are included in these holdings alone.”

Such is the statement made by Dr. D.F. Brooks who is a partner and heavily interested in the above named organizations, which control a great body of pine within a radius of ten miles of Bend.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 2, 1936 HITLER SCORES AMAZING VOTE Fuehrer Adolph Hitler, triumphant in one of the most remarkable elections ever held, faced the Locarno powers with increased confidence today as he prepared to offer them proposals for “eternal” peace.

More registered voters recorded their approval of Hitler’s foreign policies in yesterday’s reichstag election than there are men, women and children in all France.

It was indicated strongly that this backing by his countrymen and women would be reflected in his proposals for settlement of the Rhineland problem with which Joachim von Ribbentrop, his special ambassador, is expected to fly to London tomorrow.

These proposals, will present to Great Britain, France, Belgium and Italy a broad plan for consolidation of European peace on a firm, permanent base. But it

was forecast also that Hitler will be even less inclined now to accept any terms to which he will not be able to point with pride to Germans.

Provisional final returns in yesterday’s election for reichstag members — actually a vote in favor of Hitler’s reoccupation of the demilitarized Rhineland zone and his scrapping of the repressive military clauses of the Versailles treaty — were as follows: Total electorate, 45,431,102 — Total vote, 44,954,937 — For Hitler, 44,411,911 — Against Hitler, 543,026 — Percentage for Hitler, 98.792.

This was claimed as a world record. Of the people of 20 years or more “entitled” to vote — Jews excluded — 98.95 per cent went to the polls.

They were asked to put in the single circle on the ballot a cross signifying their approval of the unopposed nazi party ticket for the reichstag membership.

There was no place for an opposing vote. All an opponent of Hitler could do was to leave the ballot blank or — even more daringly — scrawl a “nein” on it or otherwise deface it.

The electorate was regimented as never before. People who were on the doubtful list were visited by nazis who offered to “escort” them to the polls. Frau Fritz Pasch, living in Berlin, gave birth to a son at 8:15 a.m. and a daughter at 8:30. At 10 she voted.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 2, 1961 “TEX” CELEBRATES 105TH BIRTHDAY

By Ila S. Grant “Tex” James put on his cowboy hat Wednesday and squared off to celebrate what he said was his 105th birthday.

The numerals “105” decorated two big birthday cakes, and the ribbon on a bouquet of red and white carnations.

After talking to a reporter and posing for a photographer, Tex winked and said with his customary wit, “Well I guess the baby is born!”

The festivities were over, for another year.

Tex, who has been a Bend resident since 1927, packed his belongings in May 1960, and moved to Sunset Home. Keeping up his little cabin down by the tracks was getting to be too much of a chore.

He’s in pretty fair shape for a man of his age, he allows, and he expects to celebrate a good many more birthdays. He’s never been a drinking man, and he attributes his longevity to “homespun tobacco, buttermilk and corn bread.”

Born somewhere along the Kickapoo River, in southern Texas, he has had quite a life, since he checked in as Robert C. James. Everybody has called him “Tex” for a good many years.

At one time he served with the Texas Rangers, and many of his most exciting adventures were in the panhandle.

He was a cowboy in his younger years, and rode herd on the doggies in such distant places as Mexico, the Philippines and Australia. He carries a scar that he said is a souvenir of a knife fight in Mexico. He didn’t look for trouble, though, but he handled it if it came along.

His long-time friends are familiar with his story of being kidnaped by Comanches when he was eight years old. Four years later, he escaped when the Indians were drunk on a weed they brewed, and Jim Williams, a scout for Kit Carson, found him wandering through the desert.

Eugene woman’s work with raptors wins her celebrity status in certain circles

By Lauren Fox The (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — Twenty-one years ago, Louise Shimmel started the Cascades Raptor Center out of her rented two-bedroom duplex.

Today, the rehabilitation center has grown into a sophisticated operation with three paid employees and more than 100 volunteers who contributed 21,000 hours of service last year.

Shimmel calls the center “a gift I want to leave to the whole community because it has taken the entire community to build it.”

While many local residents associate Shimmel with the local raptor center, fewer know that she enjoys a national and even international reputation among wildlife rehabilitators.

But she does, which is why she recently was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association at its annual conference in Albany, N.Y. Hidden behind an old swinging gate, a winding dirt trail and a few sets of steep stairs lead visitors to the doorstep of Shimmel’s office, found within the 3.5-acre nature facility along Fox Hollow Road in south Eugene. The one-room space seems almost inadequate for a world renowned expert, but in its own way, the office fits the inconspicuous center’s director perfectly.

Among raptor experts, you see, the 62-year-old Shimmel is a bit of a celebrity.

From inside her little office, she regularly communicates via an e-mail group with more than 500 raptor specialists, caretakers, falconers and veterinarians around the globe. Shimmel provides the group a chance to discuss treatment options for raptors, share stories about their beloved birds and discuss how each group can better educate people in their communities.

She also has served for seven years on the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council’s board of directors, and for five years as an instructor of the council’s basic skills class. And she has served 12 years on the editorial staff of The Journal of Wildlife Rehabilitation, the dominant journal of the industry.

“I am just trying to tie this world a little closer together,” she says.

Laurin Huse, the Cascades center’s rehabilitation director, is more outspoken about Shimmel’s accomplishments.

Brian Davies / The (Eugene) Register-Guard

Louise Shimmel feeds an undernourished barn owl earlier this year at the Cascade Raptor Center in Eugene, the animal rehabilitation center she founded and directs. Shimmel recently was honored by the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association at its annual conference in Albany, N.Y. “Louise is a worldwide champion for rehabilitation, and I don’t think we’ve found a way to communicate to our community just how influential she is,” Huse says.

As she proudly navigates through the raptor center grounds, Shimmel speaks to each of the permanent residents on the property, including Puck, an American Kestrel with a special affection for humans.

“Come on, honey,” she says to the bird hiding away in his wooden box. “You can come out now, you know. I see you.”

Slowly Puck draws toward her.

Puck is what Shimmel refers to as a human imprint, a bird believed to have been raised by humans and, in turn, believes he is one.

Puck landed on a boy’s head at a baseball game in Walnut Creek, Calif., in 2005. After it was determined that Puck couldn’t be released because of a puncture wound on his wing and a retinal tear in his right eye, he was transferred to the Cascades center.

‘In my blood’ For Shimmel, these birds are her livelihood, but more than that, they are a kind of family.

“I don’t have children, but I do have birds,” she says, laughing.

Before Shimmel found her niche and founded the raptor center, she tried to be a lot of things.

But her love for wildlife — inherited from her father, a biology teacher who was constantly re-

habilitating wild animals — kept getting in the way.

“It’s in my blood. It took me a long time to get here,” she says.

“I was 36 years old before I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up.”

Before becoming the raptor center’s founder and executive director, Shimmel earned a degree in acting from Stanford University and a master’s in international finance from the University of Chicago; she worked at an international bank and at a series of nonprofit agencies, including FOOD For Lane County, when she finally acknowledged to herself that she needed to make the protection of wildlife her job and not just her hobby.

In 1985, FOOD for Lane County was in its infancy and headquartered in Alton Baker Park. It was at that location that Shimmel found several orphaned swallows she couldn’t ignore. The only problem: The swallows required around-the-clock hand feeding, every 15 minutes.

“It really wasn’t fair to FOOD For Lane County,” she says.

So she quit.

She began volunteering for Willamette Wildlife, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rehabilitating animals. She served as its executive director before parting ways and founding the Cascades Raptor Center in 1990.

Shimmel says she wanted to spend her time creating education programs, while the Willamette Wildlife board preferred that she

focus on fundraising.

Now she oversees a raptor center that typically serves 200 birds a year — Shimmel has cared for about 3,000 birds since founding the nonprofit agency.

The center celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, and while Shimmel dreams of someday moving the facility to a new location along nearby Dillard Road, the one thing she hopes won’t be changing any time soon is the center’s executive director.

“I will probably work here until I die,” she says. “I cannot really imagine life without this. I can’t imagine life without surrounding myself with birds in one way or another.”

with emigrant trains and trail riders, and covered a good deal of ground in the process. General Custer’s wife, he recalls, taught him to write his name.

Tex enjoys company, as always, and he loves to tell his stories. His clear blue eyes still sparkle with mirth. Well over the century mark, he still gets a kick out of life.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 2, 1986 SOARING WARRIORS (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) This is the story of 1,300 glider pilots invading Germany in March 1945 During the war, the gliders were considered expendable and crash landings were not unusual.

But it wasn’t easy to crash without injuring passengers or the pilots. The gliders flew at speeds up to 120 mph before the tow lines were cut.

In the invasion of Normandy the previous spring, for example, Pederson and his co-pilot plowed their glider into a hedge at 60 mph.

Pederson’s partner broke his neck, but the passengers and Pederson lowered themselves from the dangling glider and walked away, Pederson says.

As in any battle, the troops at Wesel dug in and waited for orders after they landed.

“We’d just sit and wait and hope,” Pederson says. “You were on your own from then on.”

The fields near Wesel were to be the last that Pederson would wait in, after a stint in the service that lasted 10 years.

NOW OFFERING

Pederson joined the National Guard when he was 16 — ”I lied about my age,” he says, smiling.

In 1939, he re-enlisted and was put into the Army when the war broke out.

But Pederson wanted to be in the Air Force and was transferred there in 1941 because he had gotten his pilot’s license while in the National Guard.

His earlier hope of flying powered planes was dashed because he didn’t have the required two years of college. So when the glider program opened, he took the job.

“I just took what they gave me,” he says.

After training in the United States, Pederson was sent to England in 1944, shortly before the invasion of Normandy.

It was one of the first big glider missions of the war, but the invasions of Holland and later Wesel were larger.

“You sweated out these missions,” Pederson says. “As far as flying, I enjoyed that but I was glad when it was over.”

After the war, Pederson returned to Bend, where he married Carol Zeigler and raised a daughter, Christine, and put down roots. “I just didn’t want to travel anymore,” he says.

Memories of the war, though, have never been far from Pederson’s mind.

As part-owner of Pederson’s Bakery until last October, he often would think about the war days while baking in the earlymorning hours. The thoughts have not gone away with retirement. “I think about it every day.”

Jose Argüelles brought Mayan prophecy of doom into popular imagination

By Margalit Fox New York Times News Service

Jose Argüelles, the father of the Harmonic Convergence, the mammoth New Age event that in 1987 drew thousands of humming adherents to sites around the globe, died in the Australian bush on March 23, not much more than a year before the world, in his view, might well have ended anyway. He was 72 and lived in Ashland.

His death, from peritonitis, was announced on the website of the Foundation for the Law of Time, an organization he founded. The group seeks to rescind the modern Gregorian calendar, which Argüelles deemed dangerous, and replace it with one rooted in ancient astronomy.

Originally an art historian at Princeton and elsewhere, Argüelles (pronounced ar-GWEYes) was known afterward for books like “The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology and “Surfers of the Zuvuya: Tales of Interdimensional Travel.”

His philosophy was an eclectic amalgam of Mayan and Aztec cosmology, the I Ching, the Book of Revelation, ancient-astronaut narratives and more. It was united by an urgent concern with time — in particular with the way time is parceled out in modern industrial societies.

The root of all world ills, Argüelles believed, was the Gregorian calendar. Introduced in the late 16th century, it chopped the year artificially into months of varying

lengths. This, he said, left modern man out of synch with the natural order of things, resulting in war, conflict and general turpitude.

Unless mankind reverts to an ancient calendar like that of the Mayans, he argued, the year 2012 might well bring down the final curtain everywhere.

Hence the Convergence.

Multinational meditation Part be-in, part paean to the beginning of the end, the Convergence drew followers to Mount Shasta in California, Central Park in New York, Ayers Rock in Australia and many other spots in August 1987. Humming, handholding and meditation ensued.

The event, covered by the news media worldwide, was by all accounts the first large-scale simultaneous multinational meditation in history. Its objective, Argüelles said, was “to create a field of trust, to ground the new vibrational frequencies.”

If those frequencies were powerful enough, he maintained, they would spare the planet a coming 25-year period of calamity, which ancient writings had augured.

The ultimate objective, simply put, was to stave off the end of the world.

That, Argüelles said, be it utter apocalypse or something more palatable, like passage to a higher spiritual plane — his prophecy varied over time — would take place in 2012, at the winter sol-

Gil Clancy, boxing manager and trainer, dies at 88

New York Times News Service

Jose Argüelles, known for the mammoth New Age event called the Harmonic Convergence that in 1987 drew thousands of humming adherents to sites around the globe, died March 23 in the Australian bush. He was 72. stice. (According to some interpretations of their calendar, the Mayans identified 2012 as the year the world would end.)

Argüelles’ work was generally derided by scholars. But he was widely credited with focusing the popular imagination on the Mayan calendar — a complex astronomical and mathematical system whose workings were formerly the province of academics — and in particular on 2012 as the year in which something very big and quite possibly unwelcome might happen.

He eventually conceived his own calendar, known as “Dreamspell,” which comprised 13 months of 28 days. He set forth many of his cosmological ideas in his writings, asserting, for instance, that the Mayans were originally from outer space.

Argüelles was originally from Rochester, Minn., where he was born Joseph Anthony Argüelles on Jan. 24, 1939. At some point, he topped his surname with an umlaut and began calling himself Jose.

A gifted painter, he earned bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in art from the University of Chicago. He taught at Princeton from 1966 to 1968 and was later

on the faculty at the University of California, Davis, and elsewhere.

Over time, memories of a youthful trip to the pyramids of Teotihuacan, Mexico, combined with the mystical tenor of ’60s and ’70s counterculture, drew him out of the academy and into the ancient past. LSD also seems to have played a role, as did his struggle with alcoholism and his propensity for visions, according to “2012: Biography of a Time Traveler,” an authorized life of Argüelles by his companion, Stephanie South.

By the 1980s, as the New Age fascination with ancient symbols gained wide currency, Argüelles had found his calling.

Argüelles was divorced three times. Besides South, he is survived by a daughter, Tara Argüelles; a brother, Ivan Argüelles; a sister, Laurita Kinsley; and two grandchildren.

His book “Manifesto for the Noosphere: The Next Stage in the Evolution of Human Consciousness” will be published this year

by North Atlantic Books.

Will the world end next year, as Argüelles believed it might, or did the Harmonic Convergence he conceived a quarter-century ago pre-empt annihilation?

Time will tell.

Gil Clancy, the Hall of Fame boxing manager and trainer who guided Emile Griffith to the welterweight and middleweight championships and later worked as a boxing matchmaker and TV analyst, died Thursday in Lynbrook, N.Y. He was 88.

Clancy trained a host of big-name boxers, including George Foreman, Oscar De La Hoya, Jerry Quarry and Gerry Cooney. But he was best known for his long association with Griffith.

Clancy was teaching in the New York City schools and training amateur fighters when he developed Griffith into a Golden Gloves champion. He was Griffith’s trainer and comanager when Griffith turned pro in 1958.

On March 24, 1962, Clancy sent Griffith into the ring against Benny Paret, known as Kid, in a welterweight title bout at Madison Square Garden.

At the weigh-in for that third bout, as Griffith remembered it, Paret directed a gay slur at him in Spanish. Griffith wanted to attack Paret, but Clancy held him back.

In the 12th round, Griffith pinned Paret into a corner, then delivered a whirlwind of blows to the head with no response from Paret. When the referee finally stopped the fight, Paret collapsed with blood clots in his brain. He died 10 days later.

As Clancy recalled for Dave Anderson’s book “In the Corner,” an oral history of boxing trainers, he told Griffith before the fight, “Anytime you’re inside with this guy, you’ve got to punch until he either falls or grabs you or the referee stops you.”

Clancy added, “I’ve always thought that what happened at the weigh-in had absolutely nothing to do with what happened in the Garden that night.”

Stanley Bogdan created coveted fly reels

By Mitch Keller New York Times News Service

Stanley Bogdan, a maker of fly fishing reels so coveted that anglers were willing to spend years on a waiting list to buy them and then to pay far more than they would have for reels of only ordinary excellence, died March 27 in Nashua, N.H. He was 92 and a lifetime Nashua resident.

His death was confirmed by his son, Stephen.

In fly fishing, in particular fly fishing for the mighty Atlantic salmon, owning a Bogdan reel signals high seriousness about the sport and, not infrequently, a fair amount of disposable income. Many expert anglers consider it the finest reel ever made, a synthesis of incomparable engineering and aesthetic elegance.

Yet many fly fishermen, unless they have spent time on the classic salmon rivers in places like Quebec and the Maritimes, may have actually seen precious few Bogdans, let alone dared to dream of owning one. In a sport that is already expensive, they are content to pair their fly rods with any number of fine reels that will provide many years of service for a few hundred dollars.

A new Bogdan, on the other hand, ranges in price from about $1,500 for the smallest trout reel to about $2,400 for the biggest salmon reel. Handtooled by Stanley and Stephen Bogdan in their shops in New Hampshire — originally in Nashua and then in New Ipswich — Bogdan reels could not be rushed. Only 100 or so have been produced a year, and it has not been unusual for buyers to have to wait three or four years for delivery.

“Almost from day one, there has been The Waiting List, a sort of secular purgatory on the way to achieving tackle bliss,” Graydon Hilyard wrote in his biography “Bogdan” (Frank Amato, 2006). “How long must you dwell therein, who can tell? As the dreaded list has never actually been seen, your position on it can never be determined.”

Innovative braking Its salmon reels are what S.E. Bogdan Custom Built, the company’s official name, is best known for. What sets them apart and makes them so expensive is their innovative system for controlling “drag,” the adjustable resistance by which a properly handled reel tires and ultimately controls a powerful game fish.

Stanley Bogdan invented a braking system for his reels that allowed for drag of extraordinary smoothness and strength, greatly decreasing the chance that the fish of a lifetime would be able to strain and break an angler’s line. A Bogdan may not help you hook more fish, but it will help you land more of the fish you hook — and much more stylishly.

Stanley Edward Bogdan, one of four children of Polish immigrants, was born on Dec. 16, 1918, in Nashua. Like his father, a machinist, he had good mechanical aptitude, and after finishing high school he went to work at the Rollins Engine Co. in Nashua, a manufacturer of steam engines.

For years Bogdan made what reels he could on the side while working as a machinist and raising a family. His big break came in 1955 when he entered into a deal to provide reels to the original Abercrombie & Fitch, that era’s big retailer of high-end sporting goods.

A few years later he struck a deal with Orvis, and gradually word spread that there was no fly fishing reel quite like the one being made by the friendly, smiling, occasionally contrary Yankee in Nashua, N.H.

Flotsam from Japan’s tsunami bound for West Coast ... sort of

By Phuong Le

Curt Ebbesmeyer, a Seattle oceanographer, displays a necklace made of ocean flotsam. Ebbesmeyer, who has traced Nike sneakers, rubber bath toys and hockey gloves spilled from Asian shipping containers over the decades, expects the first items of flotsam from Japan’s tsunamis and earthquake to hit West Coast beaches in a year.

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — John Anderson has discovered just about everything during the 30 years he’s combed Washington state’s beaches — glass fishing floats, hockey gloves, bottled messages, even hundreds of mismatched pairs of Nike sneakers that washed up barnacled but otherwise unworn.

The biggest haul may come in one to three years when, scientists say, wind and ocean currents eventually will push some of the massive debris from Japan’s tsunami and earthquake onto the shores of the U.S. West Coast.

“I’m fascinated to see what actually makes it over here, compared to what might sink or Hevezi said. “The amount that biodegrade out there,” said An- would be on the stuff by the time derson, 57, a plumber and avid it reached the West Coast would beachcomber who lives in the be minimal.”

“The material that is actually sands of beachcombers such as Anderson to report the location blown in will be a fraction” of the tsunami debris, said Curt Peand details of their finds.

Pacific Ocean, said Luca Centurioni, a researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

“The dispersion is pretty large, so it’s not like a straight shot from Tokyo to San Francisco,” said Centurioni, the principal investigator for the Global Drifter Program funded by NOAA. The program deploys about 900 satellite-tracked drifting buoys each year throughout the world to collect sea surface temperature and other data.

Much of the debris will be plastic, which doesn’t completely break down. That raises concerns about marine pollution and the potential harm to marine life. But the amount of tsunami debris, while massive, still pales in comparison to the litter that is dumped into oceans on a regular basis, Ebbesmeyer said.

Ebbesmeyer and retired NOAA researcher Jim Ingraham are using a computer program to plot the path of debris from March 11 tsunami to add to growing knowledge about ocean currents. The modeling relies on weather data collected by U.S. Navy, and the researchers are waiting for the monthly release of that data to make their first projections.

Ingraham developed the program to figure out the effects of ocean currents on salmon migration, but the two also have been using it plot the path of a multitude of floating junk.

Ebbesmeyer first became interested in flotsam when he heard reports of beachcombers finding hundreds of water-

soaked shoes in Washington, Oregon and Alaska. An Asia cargo ship bound for the U.S.

in 1990 had spilled thousands of Nike shoes into the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. He was able to trace serial numbers on shoes to the cargo ship, giving him the points where they began drifting in the ocean and where they landed.

The oceanographer also has tracked plastic bath toys — frogs, turtle, ducks and beavers — that fell overboard a cargo ship in 1992 in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and were later found in Sitka, Alaska.

Anderson says he constantly scans the beaches watching for something that catches his eye. He’s found about 20 bottled messages, mostly from schoolchildren, and the several hundred Nike sneakers, which he cleaned up by soaking in water and eventually gave away, sold or swapped.

“In two years, there’s going to be stuff coming in (from Japan), and probably lots of it,” he said.

“Some of it is bound to come in.”

Weight loss challenge to aid humane society Healthy Hounds, a weightloss charity contest benefiting the Humane Society of Central Oregon, is seeking participants for a 10-week exercise program sponsored by Pawsitive Strides, Bend Pet Express and the Athletic Club of Bend.

Registration is open for 50 competitors who can compete alone or in a team with a dog.

Registration is limited to 50 people; the registration deadline is 5 p.m. Saturday. The entrance

fee is $30 and includes nutrition and exercise tips, behavior modification information for a pet, an embroidered leash, a T-shirt, starter food and entry into a 3K dog walk scheduled for June 25 at the Athletic Club of Bend. (The walk is also open to the public. The entry fee is $25.) Winners of the weight-loss challenge will be announced at the walk.

Kristin Wolter, a physical rehabilitation technician at Pawsitive Strides, says the campaign is intended to bring awareness to pet obesity.

“I see the impact of extra weight, and if people realize how much two or three pounds makes on a 35-pound dog, they might be more inclined to pay more attention to their dogs’ exercise routine and body condition.”

NORTHWEST TR AVE L Next week: Oregon’s covered bridges cost of $3.9 billion. The twin 50-story towers of the 2,995-room casino-resort property nestle into an 8.7-acre plot just north of the City Center complex, itself new in 2010, and south of the renowned Bellagio.

While the “Cosmo” doesn’t stand out physically like so many of the other grand Strip hotels — even its grand entrance is sequestered on a side street, a full block off Las Vegas Boulevard — it delivers on many other levels.

Highlights include a baker’s dozen of fine-dining restaurants, a Turkish-inspired spa, an adults-only daytime-andnighttime pool club and a fitness center

so large it includes a sparring ring.

Several years will pass before any new flurry of openings takes place on the Las Vegas Strip. The economic downturn of recent years has halted work on two other planned megaresort complexes, Echelon Place and the Fontainebleau Resort, which now occupy semi-abandoned construction sites near the north end of the Strip. Meanwhile, the venerated Sahara Hotel will close in mid-May after nearly six decades in business.

But even though Vegas has been hurt by the nation’s economic woes, things appear to be turning around, according to Alicia Malone of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. While visitor numbers (and, especially, gaming revenues) are not at the explosive levels of 2007 and the years immediately preceding, the city still sees more than 3 million visitors most months.

Homeowner, founder’s descendant lay out history of Vandevert Ranch

By David Jasper The Bulletin

Author Ted Haynes lives in Menlo Park, Calif., most of the year but spends his summers at his second home in Central Oregon’s Vandevert Ranch, a private, 400-acre gated community of 16 log cabin homes 16 miles south of Bend.

Since buying land there in 1996, Haynes has become something of a local historian, partly through his work on the website www.vandevertranch.org.

From that starting point, Haynes collaborated with Grace Vandevert McNellis, granddaughter of ranch founder Wil-

liam Plutarch Vandevert, on a new book, “Vandevert: The Hundred-Year History of a Central Oregon Ranch.”

McNellis has lived in Washington state since the 1950s, but returns annually to visit, Haynes said.

“Grace and I worked on the history of the Vandevert Ranch for several years,” he says. “The ranch had been an important part of Deschutes County, wellknown for 100 years; it was really a landmark. It would be a shame if that history were lost — and it was an interesting history, we thought.”

Daughter abruptly abandons On ‘Killing,’ it’s always rainy in Seattle all interaction with family ‘The Killing’

By Robert Philpot

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Dear Abby: My eldest daughter, “Judy,” who was previously loving, kind and considerate, has for the last year distanced herself from me. I have left messages on her answering machine because she won’t answer the phone. I have sent her cards and letters, only to receive no response. We live a short distance from each other, but I haven’t seen her in a year.

I am bewildered by this abrupt change in our mother-daughter relationship. I have pleaded for an explanation; there’s never any response.

Judy is a well-educated individual, with several degrees and on her way to a master’s degree.

I know, too, that there has been considerable stress in her life — but that shouldn’t cause her to cut her own mother out of her life. I have had many sleepless nights over this.

I am at my wit’s end. I feel she possibly needs help in some way.

Judy seems to be angry at the whole world; I, her siblings, her grandmother, and oftentimes her friends are her “enemies.” Help!

— Sleepless in Utah Dear Sleepless: If your daughter had distanced herself only from you, I would guess that she was punishing you — nursing a grievance she wasn’t ready to air. However, because she has suddenly cut herself off from everyone, declaring that they are her enemies, there is indeed cause for concern. She could be suffering from depression or paranoia.

Please don’t wait. Go to your daughter so you can see for yourself what is going on with her. She may need medical or psychological intervention.

Dear Abby: I have a question that affects just about every household in America sooner or later. What do you do to dispose of unwanted family photographs?

I have albums filled with pic-

DEAR ABBY tures of parents, siblings, aunts and uncles.

I can understand saving a few — but when you are at the “end of the line,” so to speak, and there is no one to pass them along to, what’s an appropriate method for disposal?

— Downsizing in South Jersey Dear Downsizing: I’m glad you asked. Offer them to your county or state historical society. Those pictures of your relatives could provide interesting snapshots of the time in which they were taken. Your local library might also want them.

Dear Abby: My sister and I want a dog, but our mother won’t let us have one. When we asked her why not, she said, “Because dogs poop, pee, get things dirty and bark.”

We told her, “We will train it, feed it, clean up after it. We’ll even pay for it.” We really would, but she still says, “NO!” What should we do to persuade our mom to let us get a dog?

— Son and Daughter in Albuquerque Dear Son and Daughter: I can’t claim this advice as my own. It was penned by Jeff and Bil Keane, the noted cartoonists. They said, “The best way to get a hamster is to first ask for a pony.”

That logic might also apply to a puppy.

It would seem to go without saying that gloom permeates something called “The Killing,” but TV doesn’t always treat murder as seriously as this new AMC series, and when it does, it still tends to wrap things up in an hour.

But “The Killing” — based on a Danish TV series — wants you to feel the gloom, from its perpetually overcast Seattle setting (this series is rainy even by that city’s inclement standards) to the anguish that parents feel when they learn that their teenage daughter has died.

The show takes a novelistic approach that’s reminiscent of “The Wire.” Yet it’s not as obsessed with making social commentary, as it tracks from several points of view the investigation of the murder, led

by Sarah Linden (“Big Love’s” Mireille Enos), a detective whose last day on the force — and whose plans to meet her fiance in sunnier California — are disrupted by the murder.

Enos, who is shorter than most of the cast, manages to use her petite stature to look more formidable, yet she also gives her character an underlying warmth that indicates just how much a case like this strikes at her soul.

As you might be able to tell from the whole detectivecatches-a-tough-case-on-thelast-day thing, “The Killing” isn’t above cliches, and they surround Linden in the form of a not-as-cavalier-as-he-seems new partner (Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman) and in her single motherhood of a misbehaving teenage son (Liam James) who’s not too sure

When: 9 tonight Where: AMC

Mireille Enos portrays Detective Sarah Linden, and Joel Kinnaman portrays Detective Stephen Holder, right, on AMC’s “The Killing.” about the California move. But it manages to transcend the cliches, partly through its actors and partly through the writing, overseen by executive producer Veena Sud, a veteran of CBS’ long-running “Cold Case.”

“Cold Case” had its flaws, but one of the things it was good at was showing how family members were affected by a loved one’s death, and that’s “The Killing’s” biggest strength as it depicts the girl’s parents (Michelle Forbes, who was so good in the second season of HBO’s “True Blood,” and “Justified” alum Brent

Sexton) dealing with the pain and guilt they feel after learning of the murder, and the difficulties

they have in explaining what happened to their two young sons.

Forbes is especially good as the distraught mother, who’s haunted by thoughts of what she could have done differently to keep the killing from happening.

Also affected by the death are a City Council candidate (TV stalwart Billy Campbell), as well as teachers, staff and students at the girl’s school, where there turns out to be a lot more going on than most adults expect. TV writers and producers love to talk about “character-driven” shows, but “The Killing” truly is character-driven, with the mystery providing a foundation for the show but taking a backseat to the ways various people are affected by the crime.

One point of concern, though, is that after a particularly strong first hour, the series feels just a little more run-of-the-mill in the three episodes that AMC sent for review, despite the moody atmosphere. But the show still feels deeper than a lot of similar productions, and it’s as effective emotionally as it is as a whodunit.

‘Kennedys’ controversial, but biopic stays positive

By Neal Justin Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

As expected, the new miniseries “The Kennedys” trashes a beloved American icon, presenting him as a bumbling blowhard who withered under the mighty glare of Papa Joe. But enough about Frank Sinatra.

Let’s get to John F. Kennedy and brother Bobby, who, if you believe the early rumors, are so mistreated in this eight-hour, $25 million biopic from uber-conservative producer Joel Surnow that they come across as only slightly sweeter than the Menendez brothers.

That’s not the case. Yes, those who think JFK could walk on the Potomac River will be furious that Surnow and writer Stephen Kronish dare to deal with JFK’s problem in keeping his pants up, and conjure up a few scenes that border on the sensational, including one in which patriarch Joe Kennedy offers Jackie a million dollars to stay in the marriage.

But the overall tone is so positive, even reverent, that you’ll scratch your hair out trying to decipher why History Channel dumped its most ambitious project in January and why one cable network after another passed on it before the off-the-radar ReelzChannel secured it for a song.

It may have something to do with the fact that the first four hours deal heavily with Joe, played with steely determination by two-time Oscar nominee Tom Wilkinson. The film doesn’t shy away from his racial slurs, political manipulations and bullying tactics. But I’m not sure diehard Kennedy supporters are in a frenzy to protect the reputation of ol’ Joe. They’re concerned about the sons. They have little to worry about, especially since Teddy Kennedy and his own personal crises don’t get a single mention.

Greg Kinnear’s performance as JFK bleeds sympathy. Yes, he’s a rascal, fooling around

THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU (PG-13) 4:30, 6:45 DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES (PG) 1:45, 4:15 HOP (PG) 2, 4:15, 6:30 LIMITLESS (PG-13) 1:30, 6:45 THE LINCOLN LAWYER (R) 3:45, 6:30 RANGO (PG) 2:15

with everyone from a campaign worker to Marilyn Monroe, but he’s racked by guilt — not to mention extreme back pain, the death of his infant son and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

“I’m not a kid anymore, but I keep acting like one,” he says after his brother scolds him for his latest infidelity. Hey, if Jackie can forgive him (and she does several times), why can’t we?

If anything, “The Kennedys” goes overboard to present the president in heroic terms, flashing back to his days as a playboy teenager willing to give up the social scene to fight in World War II. Upon the death of his older brother, he transforms into a master campaigner and, eventually, a crafty president.

In chapter five, he comes across as a crusader for African-Americans who practically ushered James Meredith through the doors of the University of Mississippi himself. Most historical accounts would argue that Kennedy was more concerned about communism than civil rights and was slow to support the movement.

Kinnear’s Kennedy also makes his Joint Chiefs of Staff look like they were rented from the set of “Dr. Strangelove,” bucking them with his superior wit and wisdom.

If JFK takes some knocks, his brother, Robert, comes off clean as a whistle — a high-pitched, loud and sometimes obnoxious whistle. Barry Pepper carries a pained look that’s supposed to express either deep concern or constipation. He only breathes relief in his animated scenes with wife, Ethel (Kristin Booth), bunny-hopping through the living room with their children in one of the miniseries’ few light moments.

COV ER S T ORY

C4 Sunday, April 3, 2011 • THE BULLETIN A pop-art sculpture of a typewriter eraser, by artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, greets visitors to the $8 billion City Center complex, which opened in 2010 in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.

It includes the Aria, Vdara and Mandarin Oriental hotels, a residential tower and a shopping center.

Chef Julian Serrano stands in his self-named tapas restaurant, Julian Serrano, in the Aria Resort & Casino.

A native of Spain, Serrano is best known as the executive chef of Picasso, which serves five-course prix-fixe dinners amidst a $100 million art collection on the ground floor of the Bellagio hotel.

Vegas Continued from C1 The first two months of 2011 were substantially better than in either of the two prior years, according to figures released by the visitors authority.

Lodging options The twice-weekly Allegiant Air connection between Redmond and Las Vegas was fully booked when I flew to Las Vegas last month for a four-night stay. Disembarkation and baggage claim at busy McCarran International Airport went smoothly, and almost before I knew it, I was on a shuttle to The Cosmopolitan.

I split my stay between two hotels located on or very near the Strip. The Cosmo provided me a glimpse of the newest that Vegas has to offer, a gaming hotel whose rooms are so tranquil and comfortable that I didn’t feel compelled to spend a lot of time at the tables.

I spent two additional nights at the Signature at MGM Grand, a very different experience if only because its three component towers have no gaming and no smoking. The gated buildings wrap around a swimming-pool and fitness complex. My quiet junior suite, on the 21st floor of Tower 3, offered a great view of the Strip from a balcony.

Had I craved casino madness, I had only to meander along a two-block-long covered walkway that linked the Signature towers to the frantic MGM resort hub.

On my previous visit to Las Vegas, just over a year ago, I had stayed in the Aria at City Center.

A water wall, 250 feet long and 24 feet high, greets guests with synchronized ribbons of streaming water. This feature lends a mood of outward serenity to a hotel that has more than 4,000 guest rooms, 16 restaurants, 10 bars, an 1,800-seat theater and a 150,000-square-foot casino floor.

The Aria also has an integral art collection and an adjoining high-end shopping center, Crystals, whose shops feature many elite international

brands.

Spring rates at the Cosmopolitan start at $160 per night; at both the Signature Towers and the Aria, room prices begin at $129. But for those watching their budgets a little more closely, there are even better deals around the city. Rooms at the newly expanded Hard Rock Hotel, just east of the strip, are available for as little as $69 a night. And at the Rio Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, a short distance west of the strip, recent promotions dropped the nightly standard room rate to $44.

Greg Cross / The Bulletin

Many celebrity chefs have established restaurants in Las Vegas. Gourmet cooks like Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, Todd English, Bobby Flay, Michael Mina, Bradley Ogden and many others have top-end restaurants in one or more of the city’s casino resorts.

In my opinion, no one is doing it any better than Spanish-born chef Julian Serrano. My meal at Picasso, his restaurant in the Bellagio, was very expensive, but it was also among the best I have had anywhere. The five-course “Menu Dégustation” included a lobster salad with apple-champagne vinaigrette, sautéed fois gras with poached rhubarb and a vanilla reduction, and roasted lamb with a sweet bell-pepper stuffing.

The price tag of $123, not including wine pairings, was not unreasonable by Vegas standards.

Impeccably served by a team of professional waiters at their formal best, it was presented amidst a $100 million collection of original Pablo Picasso oil paintings, pencil sketches and ceramics in a room that could have been modeled after Picasso’s studio in the south of Spain.

Serrano also owns a self-named tapas restaurant, Julian Serrano, in the Aria Hotel. Here, lunch and dinner are served daily at very moderate prices.

Chef Shawn McClain opened Sage, his first restaurant outside of Chicago, in the Aria, and it has equaled the advance notice. I haven’t yet eaten here, but two Bend friends have regaled me with stories of the wonderful, Mediterranean-influenced Sage food. A signature dish is roasted scallops, served with braised oxtail and wild mushrooms.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, April 3, 2011 C5 Actors in Disney’s “The Lion King,” presented eight times a week at the Mandalay Bay resort casino, introduce the newly born Simba to animals gathered at their feet.

Featuring the music of Elton John and Tim Rice, the Tony Award-winning musical is among the most popular stage shows in Las Vegas.

to get a lot of attention, as does “Jersey Boys,” a Tony Awardwinning musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, an important pop group in the 1960s. It plays next door to The Venetian at The Palazzo.

The biggest current show news in Vegas, however, is the return to Caesars Palace of Canadian songstress Celine Dion, whose shows are already being booked through December.

Comedy is big in Vegas. I caught two shows. Rita Rudner earned plenty of laughs in a 90minute show at The Venetian.

Nathan Burton performed startling and entertaining illusions in his comedy magic show at the Flamingo. Both shows were well worth the price of admission.

Getting hitched Joan Marcus / Disney Theatrical Productions

From previous page Two new restaurants at the Cosmopolitan are Comme Ça and China Poblano. The former, under the direction of Los Angeles chef David Myers, is a traditional French bistro with a menu that ranges from duck confit and bouillabaisse to skate Grenobloise.

China Poblano offers the unusual combination of Chinese and Mexican food on the same menu. The pairing is occasionally blended in dishes like the taco silencio (duck tongue with rambutan fruit) and Huitlacoche noodles with wild mushrooms and corn truffle.

Many Las Vegas locals will argue that the city’s best restaurant is located in a seedy strip mall a couple of miles east of the strip, decidedly not in the best part of town. But Lotus of Siam more than holds its own.

Chef-owner Saipin Chutima has won national awards for her menu of northern Thai cuisine, including some Burmese and Laotian dishes. I dined here one day with former KBNZ meteorologist Christian Boris, now a Las Vegas TV weatherman, and we both came away suitably impressed.

Vegas shows It seems that every other Las Vegas casino is featuring a different show inspired by Cirque du Soleil, the Quebec-based company that combined circus, gymnastics and theater into a single cohesive show. Of the 14 Cirque du Soleil shows currently being presented in North America (five more are touring internationally), half are on stage in Vegas casinos. Newest of the group is “Viva Elvis” at the Aria.

Widely acclaimed are “O” at the Bellagio and “Mystère” at Treasure Island. There are other shows at the Luxor, MGM Grand and New York New York resorts.

On my recent trip, I took in “The Beatles LOVE” at the Mirage. For anyone whose life moved to a Lennon-McCartney soundtrack in the last half of the 1960s, this wonderful show is a

must. The theme is as abstract as the psychedelic visions of the Beatles’ “Sergeant Pepper” era, but the sets, music and acrobatic dance and movement carry the show.

At the Mandalay Bay, I saw “The Lion King,” a similarly delightful show featuring the music that Elton John and Tim Rice wrote for the animated Disney classic. This stage version, however, equally emphasizes African drumming, dancing and chanting, and parents seemed to enjoy it every bit as much as the children in attendance.

Decidedly offbeat, but wildly successful, is Frank Marino’s “Divas Las Vegas” at the Imperial Palace. Performing on the Strip in drag for 25 years, Marino emcees and stars as Joan Rivers in this tribute and roast of female entertainers from Tina Turner to Britney Spears. This was the first time I had seen the show.

On a previous trip to Las Vegas, I saw the Blue Man Group, a trio of blue-faced mimes who combine music and comedy in a very loud and entertaining show at The Venetian. They continue

For those who are ready to tie the knot, Vegas is a popular and convenient place for a wedding.

Even the honeymoon is built in, or so it would seem.

In the company of Joni Moss, owner of LV Wedding Connection, a comprehensive weddingplanning agency, I visited three chapels and was astounded by the different approaches made available to brides and grooms for as little as $195, less than dinner for two at Picasso.

Vegas Weddings, for example, just happens to be across the street from the downtown Marriage License Bureau. It has a drive-up (or walk-up) window where the betrothed can fill out all important forms.

Viva Las Vegas specializes in themed approaches, from beach parties and “Star Trek” to motorcycle-borne ring exchanges offi-

ciated by an Elvis impersonator.

Chapel of the Flowers is more straightforward in its style, with a choice of several chapels, a garden or a gazebo. This chapel does not encourage rushed bonding, instead assigning staff to work with each marrying couple to plan the ceremony. In February, it became the first Las Vegas chapel to invite absent family members and friends to share in the wedding via the Internet and Skype video calls.

Each of these chapels also can make arrangements for couples to marry at sites around the region, from Hoover Dam to the Grand Canyon.

I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before a newly married couple makes their entrance through the giant Chandelier at The Cosmopolitan.

CHICAGO — Starting a career, getting married, becoming a parent: One of these adulthood milestones is not like the others. Scientists have long studied how much each of these major life events makes us happy and emotionally healthy in the long term, and — maybe surprisingly — it’s well-understood that parenthood comes up short.

As much as we may want to believe otherwise, parents generally aren’t as happy as those without children. But a new study suggests that while young parents might be stressed and depressed compared with their peers without children, older parents are happier than their childless counterparts.

This conclusion might seem obvious at first (as children age and leave home, parental responsibilities lighten, and of course there is the possibility of grandchildren). But

consider this: Before the study, published in the March issue of Population and Development Review, almost all research about parenthood has painted a fairly bleak picture — strained marriages, higher rates of depression and stress. Lots of stress.

A new picture is emerging, however. Rachel Margolis and Mikko Myrskylä co-authored of the study, titled “A Global Perspective on Happiness and Fertility.â€? They examined survey data taken between 1981 and 2005 from more than 200,000 respondents in 86 countries. They found that for moms and dads younger than 30, happiness decreases the more children one has.

Disaster fears fuel bunker business

By Alejandro Lopez De Haro Columbia News Service

NEW YORK — Jason Hodge likes to think ahead. Hodge, a Teamsters representative from Barstow, Calif., lives near the San Andreas fault line and knows how damaging an earthquake can be. He believes Los Angeles is long overdue for a massive earthquake and also worries about the possibility of a dirty bomb. So when he learned he could reserve six spots for his family in an underground shelter, he didn’t hesitate.

“Look at history,” he says.

“Civilizations have been wiped out. Why would we be exempt from that in the 21st century? I see it as an investment, like buying an insurance policy for my family.”

Hurricanes. Nuclear war. The cataclysmic end of the world in 2012 (supposedly predicted by the Mayans). Pick any potential disaster and chances are good that someone is preparing for it by stockpiling food, packing ready bags, installing backup generators — or investing in underground shelters.

People like Robert Bast are happy to help them. Bast, 47, is writing “Surviving 2012,” a book he is self-publishing in May and plans to sell on his website www.survive2012.com. It will detail ways people can increase their chance of surviving a serious disaster. “I think any sane person should have a month or two month supply of water,” Bast says in a phone interview from Australia, where he lives. “You don’t have to prepare much to give yourself a good advantage.”

Bast, who has three children, admits that he doesn’t completely believe the world is coming to an end “or else I would not have had a baby last year,” he says.

Still, he thinks people ought to prepare, so he is planning to have a shelter built at his vacation home. “Mine is being built as a fire shelter,” noting that builders in the U.S. offer more options.

Brian Camden is one of those builders. He is the principal of Powell Management, the parent company of Hardened Structures of Virginia, a company

The blast doors of a Vivos underground shelter. that specializes in underground shelters. Since its formation at the outset of the first Gulf War, Camden says the company has built around 100 underground shelters. “Twenty-five percent is all 2012-type stuff,” he says. “We are engineers and architects, and our priorities are the clients’ priorities. It doesn’t matter if it’s 2012 or nuclear war.”

Prices on shelters by Hardened Structures range from $2,000 for a basic prefabricated storm shelter to millions for a facility capable of withstanding a nuclear blast. Options include air filter and sewage systems and emergency escape hatches.

The Vivos Project that Hodge bought into takes a communal approach to disaster preparation, offering ownership in the group

shelters it is building across the country. The shelters will provide “everything needed for the comfort, safety, health and security of its members for up to one year of autonomous underground survival,” according to the Vivos website. The company hopes to have 20 shelters in operation by next year, and currently has six at various levels of completion in Nebraska, New York, North Carolina and South Carolina, among other states. Buying in costs around $50,000 for adults and $25,000 for children, plus monthly fees to cover property tax, insurance and utilities.

“We are building them strong as they can be. The government probably has stronger ones, but ours will withstand a 20-megaton blast within six miles,” says

Robert Vicino, CEO of Vivos.

“Not everybody has a fire extinguisher, but once the fire starts it’s too late to go and buy one.”

For people who aren’t worried about nuclear war or asteroid attacks, the Vivos website lists many other potential disasters, including super volcanoes, killer comets, solar flares, anarchy, terrorism and biowar.

Those seeking shelter in a Vivos bunker get private living quarters that can fit up to four people with a choice of queen or bunk beds. The shelters include common areas, urgent and dental care centers, and a small security cell if residents become unruly.

“I have always wanted to have a safe place in the event of something happening,” says a co-owner of a Vivos shelter, who refused to give her name for privacy reasons. “I have a child, and it is nice to have a feeling of safety.” She has lived in a coastal area, and her concern about hurricanes and tsunami convinced her to buy into the shelter.

Not everyone thinks such shelters are a wise — or safe — idea.

“It is debatable how much protection these things are going to give,” says Kenneth Rose, a professor at the University of California, Chico and author of “One Nation Underground: The Fallout Shelter in American Culture.” “I think shelter building in the Cold War was a bad idea, and it’s a bad idea now. At least during the Cold War, shelter building was based on a real scenario rather then this ludicrous Mayan prophecy,” said Rose, referring to the fears of doomsday in 2012.

One of the more plausible doomsday disasters is the 1 in 250,000 chance that the Apophis asteroid will hit the Earth in 2036, according to the latest estimates by NASA. “In 2029, it is expected to fly close to Earth and could hit on its return in 2036 if it runs into any of the gravitational keyholes that surround Earth,” says Robert Arentz, the scientist in charge of Near Earth Objects at Ball Aerospace Systems in Boulder, Colo.

“When it comes in 2029, it will be watched very carefully,” Arentz says.

Wake-up call for gadget lovers: Texting, gaming rob us of sleep

By Mary Jo Layton The Record (Hackensack N.J.)

HACKENSACK, N.J. — Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they’re not getting enough sleep and that late-night computer use, texting and video games are a significant part of the problem, according to a survey released last month.

Virtually all Americans surveyed in the Sleep in America poll reported “very active” use of technology at least a few nights a week within an hour of bed.

“It is clear that we have a lot more to learn about the appropriate use and design of this technology to complement good sleep habits,” said David Cloud, CEO of the National Sleep Foundation, which conducted the survey.

More than half of kids ages 13 to 18 text an hour before bed most nights and this group reports being the sleepiest of all, the survey found.

On average they report seven hours and 26 minutes of sleep a night on weeknights, nearly two hours shy of the recommended nine hours and 15 minutes.

It’s a familiar story to Dr. Tracy Carbone, a sleep expert who treats a growing number of adolescents for sleep disorders which are affecting school performance, driving ability and moods and mental health.

“We’re seeing more and more of this,” said Carbone, director of The Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders and Apnea.

Not only is texting and web surfing stimulating, but the artificial light from screens and cellphones suppresses the release of the hormone melatonin, which induces sleep, Carbone said.

It becomes a vicious cycle as the body’s natural sleep cycle shifts to later and later, which in turn leads people to use their computer or surf the Internet when they can’t sleep, she said.

85 percent of women annoyed by Facebook friends’ posts

By Shari Roan Los Angeles Times

Facebook friends may not be all that friendly, according to a new survey. In yet another examination of the negative social and psychological vibes generated by Facebook participation,

researchers reported this week that 85 percent of women say they have been annoyed by their Facebook friends’ postings.

The survey of more than 400 women, from Eversave, a company that offers daily deals online, was conducted to examine

how social networking influences consumers’ reactions to daily deals. Researchers found that women said they use Facebook to keep their friends informed of their lives (79 percent of the participants) and to share information (64 percent).

The Vandevert family photographed in 1895, three years after the founding of the ranch. From left to right are Kathryn Grace, Claude, Clint, Thomas William, George, Bill, Arthur, Maude and Sadie.

Vandevert Continued from C1 Central Oregon was a different world at the time of Vandevert Ranch’s founding in 1892.

Founder William Plutarch Vandevert paid his brother $600 for two 80-acre parcels just east of the Little Deschutes River and obtained an adjacent 160 acres, most of it west of the river, by homesteading.

The ranch, which lies at the north near where the Little Deschutes River joins the Deschutes River, predates both Bend (1904) and Deschutes County (1916).

Grace, born in 1929, can recall Native Americans visiting the ranch each fall in the 1930s.

They would camp in a pasture at the ranch and hunt.

“They were there for about two weeks hunting deer. … The men would go hunting and bring back deer meat and hides. The women would prepare the hides for tan-

ning and making moccasins, gloves, clothing and many other things,” she says in the book.

Printed by Haynes’ own small press, The Robleda Co., and retailing for $16.95, “Vandevert” is structured chronologically, with additional chapters on timber, the Harper School, Camp Abbot, log houses and more.

Haynes feels it’s important for people to know the history of the place where they live.

“Especially around Bend, because so many people are new in Bend. They love the area for the recreation and beauty; there are a lot of great things about Bend. But it’s grown so much that, I think, a lot of them are out of touch with where the place came from. I think a lot of them would be interested to know how it happened.”

Though the community is not accessible to the public, folks can float through on the Little Deschutes.

When the Vandeverts owned

it, the ranch was 320 acres. Jim and Carol Gardner, its developers, acquired another 80 from the Forest Service, according to the book.

The Gardners built the new “Homestead” in the late 1980s.

Some of the logs from the Old Homestead were reusable nearly 100 years after the original was built, according to “Vandevert.”

Haynes, 66, is retired from a career in marketing for hightech companies, and has another couple of books under his belt, including “The Electronic Commerce Dictionary” and a novel, “The Dot.Com Terrorist.”

He’s now at work on a collection of fictional stories set at his beloved second home of Vandevert Ranch. The stories will be set “from the 1800s up to, actually, into the future,” he says. “It’s a base for my imagination.”

David Jasper can be reached at 541-383-0349 or djasper@ bendbulletin.com.

But 85 percent said their Facebook buddies use the site to brag or overshare.

The participants said too many people complain all the time, share unsolicited political views or brag “about seemingly perfect lives.”

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL UConn’s Moore named AP player of the year INDIANAPOLIS — Maya Moore is in a class by herself. Her coach will have to share his award.

Moore is The Associated Press player of the year once again, becoming Connecticut’s the third Maya Moore two-time winner when she was honored on Saturday.

“She’s a once-in-a-lifetime player,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “We’re fortunate to have had her.”

Auriemma shared coach of the year honors with Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer and Miami’s Katie Meier, marking the first time ever that an AP college award has had a tie.

Moore, who joined Seimone Augustus of LSU and Chamique Holdsclaw of Tennessee as the only two-time winners, also received the award as a sophomore.

The four-time All-American got 37 of the votes from the 39-member media panel that selects the weekly Top 25.

Baylor’s Brittney Griner received the other two votes.

Moore powered UConn back to the Final Four for the fourth straight season, putting the Huskies in position for a third straight title. That would match their run from 2002-04 and Tennessee’s dominance from 1996-98.

Bend’s Ford wins second title at nationals, tops field in super-G

By Pat Graham The Associated Press

WINTER PARK, Colo. — Tommy Ford and Julia Mancuso have soft spots for soft snow.

Years of skiing on mountains with similar springtime conditions has prepared the two American skiers, helping them discover the ways to maintain their speed through the slushiest of surfaces. Ford and Mancuso certainly mastered the mushy snow at the U.S. championships Saturday, adding super-G titles to their expanding victory collections.

They both also won giant slalom crowns at

nationals this week, turning this competition into the Tommy & Julia Show.

Going first in the men’s competition, Ford, of Bend, flew down the twisty course in 1 minute, 10.10 seconds, a time that held up as Tommy Biesemeyer finished 0.10 seconds behind. Ryan Cochran-Siegle was third on an afternoon when temperatures soared into the 50s.

Ford, 22, has won the last five U.S. events he has entered. He took the giant slalom title Thursday, along with the GS, slalom and combined at nationals last spring.

Oregon suffers road loss Beavers overtake Wildcats 10-4 with help from late rally to No. 5 Arizona State From wire reports

From wire reports TUCSON, Ariz. — Ryan Barnes and Ryan Dunn each hit their first career home runs and the 23rdranked Oregon State baseball team overcame a three-run deficit to defeat No. 18 Arizona, 10-4, Saturday afternoon at Kindall Field at Sancet Stadium.

The win ties the series with the clubs scheduled to end the threegame weekend today at noon.

“I’m very proud of the way this team battled back today after going through adversity on Friday night,” Oregon State head coach Pat Casey said of the Beavers’ 18-0 loss to the Wildcats on Friday. “We started off slow, but all that matters is how you finish, and we came through with a win today. The key will be tomorrow’s game as we aim for the series win. We will be focused and so will they.”

Carter Bell and Kavin Keyes drew consecutive walks to start the fifth, then watched as two flyouts kept them at first and second. Barnes, who came into the game with two

extra-base hits on the season, got Arizona starter Kyle Simon to a 3-1 count.

With the next pitch, and the club trailing 3-0, he and the Beavers (197 overall, 1-1 Pacific-10 Conference) made it a whole new ballgame. He narrowly cleared the left-center field fence — just over the 375-foot sign — for his first career home run, scoring Bell and Keyes to tie the game at three.

An inning later, Dunn gave the Beavers their first lead of the series with a liner down the left-field line that snuck over the fence at the 360foot sign next to the foul pole. The three-run home run, coming on a 1-2 pitch from reliever Bryce Bandilla, scored Bell and Tyler Smith and was Dunn’s first career extrabase hit.

Josh Osich went a career-long seven innings on Saturday. He threw 99 pitches and allowed seven hits and three runs while striking out one and walking one. He improved to 4-0 this season with his first career quality start.

TEMPE — Arizona State right-hander Kramer Champlin was very effective and Mitchell Lambson closed the game out for the second night in a row as the fifth-ranked Sun Devils clinched a series victory with a 3-1 win over Oregon on Saturday night at Packard Stadium.

Arizona State (20-6, 4-1) won its second Pac-10 series of the year with the victory over the Ducks (14-11, 0-2). The Ducks and Sun Devils will play the series finale today with the first pitch set for noon.

Champlin (4-1) tossed eight innings of one-run baseball, holding the Ducks to five hits, four of which were for extra bases. In addition, Champlin struck out seven and walked none.

Champlin retired 10 consecutive batters until Danny Pulfer drove a one-out double down the left field line in the top of the fourth — extending his hit streak to 10 games. Champlin

faced just four batters over the minimum in his eight innings of work.

Lambson came on in the top of the ninth and earned his fourth save of the season, retiring the side despite giving up a bunt single to freshman Aaron Jones.

Oregon junior right-hander Madison Boer (2-1) had a respectable performance on the mound, allowing three runs on nine hits in 6 2⁄3 innings while striking out six and issuing just one walk. For Boer, it was his sixth quality start of the season and his first loss of the year as Oregon’s offense couldn’t support his outing.

Scott McGough finished the game for Oregon tossing 1 1⁄3 shutout innings.

Aaron Jones led the Ducks with two doubles and a run scored.

Johnny Ruettiger, Zack MacPhee, Andrew Aplin and Matt Newman each had two hits for ASU.

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Mariners 5, Athletics 2: OAKLAND, Calif.

— Ichiro Suzuki had two infield hits to become Seattle’s career leader, including a bouncer in the ninth that drove in the go-ahead run in the Mariners’ victory over Oakland. Suzuki reached on an infield single in the third, then did it again with his record-breaking hit off Brian Fuentes that drove in Jack Wilson and made it 3-2 Mariners.

• Yankees 10, Tigers 6: NEW YORK — A.J. Burnett took a steady first step as he aims to bounce back from a wobbly season and Mark Teixeira hit his second three-run homer in two games, sending the New York Yankees to a victory over Detroit.

• Blue Jays 6, Twins 1: TORONTO — Kyle Drabek pitched seven innings of one-hit ball to earn his first major league win, and Jose Molina and Jayson Nix hit solo home runs for Toronto.

• White Sox 8, Indians 3: CLEVELAND — Edwin Jackson extended his mastery of Cleveland, and Gordon Beckham and Carlos Quentin had two RBIs apiece for Chicago.

• Royals 5, Angels 4: KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chris Getz had three hits, including an RBI single for the go-ahead run in the eighth inning to help Kansas City rally.

• Orioles 3, Rays 1: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Chris Tillman held Tampa Bay hitless for six innings and Nick Markakis made a leaping catch at the wall in the ninth to preserve Baltimore’s victory over Tampa Bay. • Rangers 12, Red Sox 5: ARLINGTON, Texas — Ian Kinsler had another leadoff homer and Adrian Beltre hit a grand slam to help power Texas to a victory over Boston.

• Giants 10, Dodgers 0: LOS ANGELES — Matt Cain scattered five hits over six innings, Aubrey Huff and Freddy Sanchez drove in three runs each and San Francisco defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers for their first win of the season. Miguel Tejada added two RBIs for the defending World Series champions, who had committed five errors in dropping a pair of one-run games to the rival Dodgers. But they backed Cain with ample offense and clean defense to avoid equaling their worst start since moving to San Francisco in 1958.

• Padres 11, Cardinals 3: ST. LOUIS — Clayton Richard (1-0) had two RBIs to match his career high without getting the ball out of the infield and pitched six solid innings for San Diego.

• Nationals 6, Braves 3: WASHINGTON — Rick Ankiel drove in three runs with a homer and a squeeze bunt, Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos each had three hits and the Nationals beat Atlanta.

• Cubs 5, Pirates 3: CHICAGO — Pinch-hitter Blake DeWitt delivered a two-out, two-run double that capped a five-run eighth inning as the Cubs rallied for a win.

• Mets 6, Marlins 4: MIAMI — David Wright’s third hit of the game brought Jose Reyes home with the go-ahead run in the 10th, Willie Harris added a two-run single later in the inning, and the New York Mets beat Florida.

• Phillies 9, Astros 4: PHILADELPHIA — Cliff Lee struck out 11 over seven impressive innings in his first game back with Philadelphia, five players had multiple hits and the Phillies beat Houston.

• Reds 4, Brewers 2: CINCINNATI — Scott Rolen hit a two-run homer in the first inning, eliminating the need for another dramatic Cincinnati comeback, and the Reds beat Milwaukee behind seven strong innings from left-hander Travis Wood.

• Rockies 3, Diamondbacks 1: DENVER — Lefty Jorge De La Rosa scattered three harmless singles and drove in a run before leaving in the sixth inning with a blister on his left middle finger, and Colorado beat Arizona.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA TOURNAMENT

NHL ROUNDUP

UConn tops Kentucky for spot in championship game

Red Wings get past Predators in overtime

By Eddie Pells The Associated Press

HOUSTON — When it’s win or go home, nobody’s better than Kemba and the kids.

Kemba Walker scored 18 points Saturday night to lift Connecticut to its 10th straight victory since finishing off a .500 Big East regular season, a 56-55 win over cold-shooting Kentucky that moved the Huskies a victory away from their third, and most improbable, NCAA title.

Walker, a quick-handed junior from the Bronx, added seven assists and six rebounds to help the young UConn team (31-9) extend a winning streak that started with a five-wins-in-five-nights leg-drainer at the conference tournament and now includes five more at the tournament that really counts.

The third-seeded Huskies — lowest seed left in a tournament that has been as unpredictable as any in history — will face No. 8 Butler, a 70-62 winner over 11thseeded VCU in the first semifinal, on Monday.

“We’ve got a heck of a challenge on Monday night, but the fact that we’re playing Monday night, that’s beautiful,” Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said.

This one was not pretty on either end.

Fourth-seeded Kentucky (299) shot 33.9 percent for the game and went 5:39 without a point late

Butler Continued from D1 That gave the Bulldogs a doover and ended the warm-andfuzzy story of this year’s NCAA men’s tournament.

“I remember the sour taste it left in my mouth last year, and I just think this group, we’re here now and we have a chance. That’s all you can ask.”

Shelvin Mack scored 24 points, Hahn scored all eight of his points during a 90-second span in the second half that gave Butler control of the game for good and the Bulldogs shut down hot-shooting VCU with their trademark unforgiving defense. The eighthseeded Bulldogs (28-9) will face Connecticut on Monday night, the lowest-seeded team to play for the national title since Villanova won it as a No. 8 seed in 1985.

“We’ve just got to be one shot better than last year,” coach Brad Stevens said.

VCU (28-12) sure didn’t look like a team critics dismissed as “unworthy” — and a whole lot worse — after it skidded into the NCAA tournament with five losses in its last eight games. But Butler’s sti-

in the second half. UConn wasn’t much better, but Walker, Alex Oriakhi and Shabazz Napier all made baskets to turn a 48-48 tie into a 54-48 lead with 2:29 left.

DeAndre Liggins made a three-pointer for the Wildcats to cut the deficit to three, and Kentucky had its chances. But Brandon Knight, one of John Calipari’s three sensational freshmen, barely drew iron on a three-pointer. After Kentucky got the rebound, Liggins drew a foul but only hit one of two free throws.

Kentucky forced one more turnover and went for the win, but this time, it was Liggins whose three-pointer was short.

Napier made two free throws to make it 56-52, then Knight ended the game with a three-pointer at the buzzer — a meaningless make and a cruel close to what has otherwise been a remarkable season for Calipari and Co. — Kentucky’s first trip to the Final Four since winning it all in 1998.

“It’s an amazing feeling,” Walker said. “It’s a little surreal right now, but hopefully we can bring it back to Storrs.”

Speaking of amazing, UConn is peaking at the right time. The Huskies, a freshman-filled team that lived down to expectations by going 9-9 in their conference, haven’t lost since they fell to Notre Dame to close the regular season on Feb. 5.

fling defense was too much for the Rams, only the third No. 11 seed to reach the Final Four.

“Butler was the aggressor for the majority of the game,” VCU coach Shaka Smart said. “We had our runs.”

But not enough of them.

Jamie Skeen scored 27 and Bradford Burgess had 15, including three three-pointers before the game was even seven minutes old.

But Stevens is known for his tactical acumen, and this game was no different. He tweaked Butler’s defense, and Burgess had just one more three the rest of the night.

VCU had always managed to find a shot when it needed it in its first three games, but Butler simply wouldn’t allow it. VCU was just eight of 22 from long range, though that was still enough to set the NCAA record for most threes in a tournament with 61.

But Brandon Rozzell, who tied his career high with six treys against Georgetown, was zero for three.

Slippery point guard Joey Rodriguez didn’t make a shot until 8:30 left in the game, finishing with only three points on one-of-seven shooting.

Butler also dominated the boards, outrebounding VCU

48-32.

“Some of our shots didn’t fall.

Open shots, shots we’d been making,” Rodriguez said. “I think if you go back and look at the tape, you’ll see some of them were in and outs. Almost felt like it wasn’t supposed to happen or something.”

The defense — and the big night by Mack — made up for a lackluster showing by leading scorer and rebounder Matt Howard. The senior had 17 points, but shot just three-of-10 and picked up his fourth foul with 9:22 left.

“It’s not one guy making plays,” said Hahn, whose total Saturday was one point less than he’d had in Butler’s previous four tournament games combined. “It’s literally a collective effort; it’s all 14 guys.”

The Bulldogs came within a bounce of winning it all last year.

But Gordon Hayward’s last-ditch, half-court heave caromed off the rim, and Butler had to watch Duke celebrate the title with a 6159 win.

“Last year we didn’t get it done, so that’s in the back of my mind,” Mack said.

After falling behind 34-28 at the half, the first time in the NCAA

tournament they trailed at halftime, VCU reeled off five quick points to take a 35-34 lead. Then it was time for a little game of “Can you top this?”, starring Hahn.

Skeen made a three and Hahn answered back with one that didn’t even rustle the strings of the net. Skeen converted a threepoint play, and Hahn made another three. Rozzell showed he can score from inside, too, with a layup, only to have Hahn — who else? — make a reverse that put Butler in front 44-43 with 12:20 left.

Butler clamped down on the Rams, not allowing another field goal for more than three minutes.

Meanwhile Mack, who earned most outstanding player honors in the Southeast Regional, showed off his dazzling skills yet again. He made back-to-back three-pointers and then a layup to give Butler a 52-45 lead with 9:41 to play, and the game was all but over.

“We’re a defensive team, so we don’t need to score 10 points in the last two minutes to win the game,” said Andrew Smith, who had seven rebounds. “We’d much prefer to just get a few stops. That’s kind of what we’re made to do.”

to start the third quarter, allowing Golden State to score 13 straight points during one stretch. Ellis had one more point than the Mavericks managed as a team in the quarter to help the Warriors go ahead by 12 points, dazzling with his spinning layups and driving dunks.

Dallas trimmed the deficit to three with 2:28 remaining in the fourth after Marion’s dunk and Terry’s three-pointer. The teams traded baskets before Stephen Curry hit a three-pointer to put Golden State ahead by six and seal the victory.

Dallas certainly had its chances.

Curry picked up his third foul late in the first quarter when he reached in on a driving Jose Barea, who converted a threepoint play on the layup. Curry was forced to sit for the entire second period, and perhaps Dallas didn’t take advantage enough in his absence.

NBA SCOREBOARD

Mavericks suffer second straight loss, fall to Warriors OAKLAND, Calif. — Monta Ellis had 32 points, David Lee added 16 and the Golden State Warriors beat Dallas 99-92 on Saturday night to deliver a big blow to the Mavericks’ chances of moving up to second in the Western Conference.

Ellis shook off the pain in his strained right ankle to score 18 points in a dominant third quarter that helped the Warriors pull away. Golden State avoided a four-game sweep against Dallas this season.

Shawn Marion had 21 points and Jason Terry added 17 in Dallas’ second straight loss.

Two nights after a crushing 28-point loss to the Lakers, the Mavericks’ hopes of improving their playoff seeding took an even bigger hit. They trail the Lakers by 2½ games for second place in the West with only six games left.

Things have quickly gone sour for the Mavericks.

They had a chance to pull even with the Lakers on Thursday night at Staples Center. Instead, they lost 110-82 in a game that had five players ejected, and their effort against Golden State might have stung even worse.

Dallas’ defense was sporadic

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Detroit Red Wings know how to rebound from an ugly loss.

They’re pretty good at comebacks, too.

Danny Cleary tipped in Brian Rafalski’s shot 2:58 into overtime for Detroit’s fourth unanswered goal, leading the Red Wings to a 4-3 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday that clinched their 20th straight playoff berth.

Cleary called it a big win coming off Wednesday’s embarrassing 10-3 loss to St. Louis.

“We definitely came out with a lot more urgency and more determination in our game,” Cleary said. “We needed that after the last outing. It was rock bottom. Certainly, it was a good step for us. We responded well.”

Justin Abdelkader had two goals, and Jakub Kindl also scored as Detroit improved to 23-2 in its last seven games. Rafalski finished with two assists and Jimmy Howard stopped 31 shots in his first game back after missing two with a strained left shoulder.

The Red Wings extended the longest active playoff streak among North America’s four major professional sports. They also got to 100 points for an 11th straight season, extending their own NHL record.

But Detroit coach Mike Babcock was most impressed with how his team bounced back in this game after being down 3-0.

“The guys could have easily sagged, but they didn’t. They responded,” he said. “I thought we had a good physical play tonight.”

Ryan Suter had a powerplay goal and an assist, Sergei Kostitsyn and Martin Erat scored, and Mike Fisher had two assists for Nashville. The second-place Predators blew a chance to pull within two points of Detroit in the Central Division with a week left in the season, allowing the Red Wings to leave town with a comfortable five-point cushion.

“Everyone knew how important the game was for both teams and certainly how we were going to respond,” Cleary said.

Both teams scored twice in the first five minutes of the second period, with Detroit beating Pekka Rinne twice 1:22 apart to pull within one.

“We had a three-goal lead for what, two minutes? Three minutes?” Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. “It didn’t feel like we had a three-goal lead and just gave it away. They were right back in the game.”

The Predators certainly had plenty of chances but went one for five with the one-man advantage and one for three

McMurray wins Sprint Cup pole at Martinsville

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Jamie McMurray took a step toward jump-starting his season Saturday by winning the pole at Martinsville Speedway.

McMurray turned a lap of 96.509 mph in his Chevrolet to earn the top starting spot for today’s race. He came to Martinsville ranked 28th in the Sprint Cup Series standings and with a season-best finish of 18th in the opener at Daytona.

“This is really big for our team,” said McMurray.

“We’ve had some really good cars, and for the most part, the short tracks is where we’ve run the best. But we got caught up in that wreck at Phoenix and at Bristol ... got caught up in a wreck. It just seems like we’ve had really bad luck. But I hope this turns around for us.”

McMurray said he was pacing through his team hauler during the qualifying session, and his Earnhardt Ganassi Racing crew was making fun of him for being so nervous about potentially winning the pole.

“I told them, ‘Martinsville, the pole, if you get the No. 1 pit stall here, it’s huge. I think that can win the race for you,’” McMurray said of the stall he’ll use today at the exit of pit road.

Ryan Newman qualified second with a lap of 96.342 in a Chevrolet. Kasey Kahne qualified third in a Toyota and was followed by Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Joey Logano and three-time defending race winner Denny Hamlin.

AJ Allmendinger was sixth in a Ford, and was followed

by Bobby Labonte, David Reutimann and Kevin Harvick.

Regan Smith rounded out the top 10.

Five-time Martinsville winner Jimmie Johnson qualified 17th.

But qualifying results were overshadowed by tire troubles for the second time in three races.

The tires Goodyear brought to Martinsville are leaving marbles made of rubber all over the track. It’s a different tire than the one used last year because Goodyear wanted to prevent grating on the left-side tires that often occurs when cars slide from the asphalt racing surface into the concrete corners.

Because of the marbles and the lack of rubber accumulating on the track surface, drivers spent much of Saturday complaining about a lack of grip.

“The tire is really crappy,” said Dale Earnhardt Jr., “but that’s just the way it is.

There’s not much they can do about it.”

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series director John Darby said drivers had to adjust the different “drivability characteristics” of the tires.

“The tire is not failing,” Darby said.

Tseng roars past Lewis into lead GOLF ROUNDUP

The Associated Press

Chris Carlson / The Associated Press

Yani Tseng tees off on the third hole during the third round of the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship golf tournament in Rancho Mirage, Calif., Saturday.

Women Continued from D1 “I can’t imagine when women had to wash their own uniforms or they got 25 fans a game and had to use a men’s locker room,” Adams said in a telephone interview a day after second-seeded Texas A&M defeated top-seeded Baylor, 58-46, in the final of the Dallas Region. “A lot has changed.

We appreciate what those women went through and thank them for what the sport is today.”

Women were not admitted to Texas A&M as full students until 1963. When they were allowed to join the Corps of Cadets in 1974, stories of harassment became widespread. One cadet, Melanie Zentgraf, became so frustrated by a sense of exclusion that she filed a discrimination lawsuit. When she graduated in 1980, the university president refused to shake her hand. Five years later, a federal court order ushered women into the marching band.

“I got out of high school in 1963 and my dad wanted me to go to A&M,” said Gary Blair, now the women’s basketball coach. Instead, he chose to play baseball at Texas Tech. “I didn’t want to go to an all-male school,” he said.

Today, nearly half of Texas A&M’s 46,500 students are women. And the university’s aspirations for women’s sports are no less determined than Stanford’s.

The Aggies won the 2009 and 2010 NCAA outdoor track and field championships. The equestrian team is ranked No. 1 in the country. The soccer, softball and swimming and diving teams are national powers.

On Tuesday night, the women’s basketball team played before 11,508 fans in Dallas. While a majority of fans cheered on Baylor, Texas A&M had its rousing share of supporters, including three busloads of fans who traveled seven hours round-trip from the campus in College Station.

“We’ve come from having 30 parents in the stands to sending buses of people to Dallas for a ballgame,” King said. “Words can’t explain the turnaround.”

When the women’s team got its own locker room in 1977, it was a converted men’s dressing area with artificial flowers placed in the urinal. In the 1980s, players performed aerobics outside the basketball arena in a desperate and futile attempt to attract fans, said Lisa Langston, who became

Ford Continued from D1 All those wins have come in snow conditions just like this — very soft and slushy.

He hardly minds, given his background at Central Oregon’s Mt. Bachelor.

“It’s got a lot of soft snow, a lot of good snow, but a lot of soft snow,” Ford said of his home mountain, where he skied regularly with the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation.

“It’s easy to slide around and make it down. But you’ve got to keep the speed up. … You develop a touch with that.”

Biesemeyer had a solid run, save for a couple of bumps and bobbles, but he couldn’t quite

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Stacy Lewis’ three-shot lead dwindled to a single stroke after just four holes, and it vanished entirely after the turn.

Nearly every time Lewis missed an opportunity, Yani Tseng jumped all over her — to the delight of Tseng’s sizable cheering section.

Lewis learned just how tough it’ll be to get between the world’s top-ranked player and a rare repeat victory at the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Tseng roared into the lead with a third-round 66 Saturday, moving two shots ahead of Lewis in the LPGA Tour’s first major of the year.

“I just want to keep smiling all day tomorrow and have a lot of fun,” Tseng said. “I did it before, so I just want to do it again.”

Tseng showed a defending champion’s confidence with her aggressive, powerful play at Mission Hills, shooting the round’s low score to move to 12under 204. She erased playing partner Lewis’ three-shot lead in the first seven holes before going ahead on the 11th.

After back-to-back birdies to open the back nine, Tseng went ahead for good with her sixth birdie on the 15th.

She was a model of ruthless efficiency in a bogey-free round, looking more than capable of earning her second celebratory leap into Poppie’s Pond.

“I played pretty aggressive because I wanted to get over to catch Stacy,”

Capsules for the NCAA women’s Final Four STANFORD

NOTRE DAME

Record: 33-2. Nickname: Cardinal.

Coach: Tara VanDerveer.

Conference: Pac-10.

Bid: Pac-10 champion.

Scoring: Team (79.8); Nnemkadi Ogwumike 17.0; Jeanette Pohlen, 14.6; Kayla Pedersen 12.9.

Rebounds: Team (43.6); Chiney Ogwumike 8.1; Kayla Pedersen 7.8; Nnemkadi Ogwumike 7.6.

The Skinny: The Cardinal have won 27 in a row since consecutive road losses to DePaul and Tennessee in December. They ended Connecticut’s NCAA-record 90-game winning streak that same month and would like another shot at the Huskies. Stanford ran over its first two opponents and survived a tough battle with North Carolina in the regional semifinals before spoiling Gonzaga’s run in front of its home fans. Stanford has made the Final Four the last four seasons and hopes not to come up empty again.

Record: 30-7. Nickname: Irish.

Coach: Muffet McGraw.

Conference: Big East.

Bid: At-Large.

Scoring: Team (77.4); Natalie Novosel 14.9; Skylar Diggins 14.4; Devereaux Peters 11.8.

Rebounds: Team (40.9); Devereaux Peters 7.4; Natalie Achonwa 5.5; Becca Bruszewski 5.3.

The Skinny: Notre Dame advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 2001 when the Irish won it all. They can take heart that in that season Notre Dame lost to UConn in the Big East tournament championship only to beat the Huskies in the national semifinals.

The Irish beat Tennessee for the first time in 20 tries to get to the Final Four, they can only hope for the same success against the Huskies, who beat them three times during the regular season.

TEXAS A&M Record: 31-5. Nickname: Aggies.

Coach: Gary Blair.

Conference: Big 12. Bid: At-Large.

Scoring: Team (78.1); Danielle Adams 22.3; Tyra White 13.6; Sydney Carter 10.5.

Rebounds: Team (39.7); Danielle Adams 8.6; Adaora Elonu 5.8; Tyra White 5.2.

The Skinny: Texas A&M advanced to its first Final Four ever after beating Big 12 rival Baylor for the first time this season in the regional final. While it’s the school’s first trip, it’s not Gary Blair’s as he led Arkansas to the Final Four in 1998. Danielle Adams became the school’s first first-team AllAmerican on Tuesday. She led the conference in scoring and had 28 points and 11 rebounds in a second round win over Rutgers. It was the highest point total by an A&M player in an NCAA tournament game. The Aggies continue to be one of the top defensive teams in the country.

Tseng said. “I love this course because you’re not hitting driver every hole.

You have to be smart.”

The talkative 22-year-old from Taiwan also had the backing of about 300 boisterous fans from nearby Beaumont, Calif., where Tseng and her mother lived for about three years while Tseng practiced and attempted to qualify for the tour.

“It was really nice that they came out here and cheered for me,” Tseng said. “I feel very appreciative, because I need a crowd. I need a big crowd here to make me more excited.”

Lewis struggled to keep up in her quest for her first tour victory, managing just two birdies while repeatedly saving par with a steady short game and putter. Even after her lone bogey on the 16th hole, Lewis retained a measure of confidence simply by staying just two strokes back.

“I hit it in the rough all day, just struggling to make pars,” said Lewis, who finished with a 71. “I’m just really glad for it to be over. I got some confidence from it, but it’s really frustrating to be making those putts hole after hole.”

Morgan Pressel (69) was four shots off the lead in third place. Michelle Wie (69) was six strokes back in fourth, staying in the hunt for her first major title.

In other events on Saturday:

ery other university, was accelerated by Title IX, the 1972 federal law that prohibited sex discrimination in matters of education.

In 1999, school officials began a campaign to become one of the nation’s top public universities by 2020. Robert Gates, the university’s president from 2002 to 2006 and now the secretary of defense, envisioned athletics as Texas A&M’s “front porch,” providing national exposure and a shared campus experience.

He hired a new athletic director from Nebraska, Bill Byrne, whose first hire was Blair. He had coached Arkansas to the 1998 women’s Final Four but said he got the Texas A&M job in 2003 only after higher-profile coaches turned it down.

“Gates did a tremendous job realizing what traditions were in

Mickelson ties record, takes lead HUMBLE, Texas — Phil Mickelson shot his lowest round in two years, tying the course record with a 9-under 63 to share the lead with Scott Verplank after three rounds at the Houston Open. Verplank shot his second straight 65 to catch Mickelson at 13-under par. Aaron Baddeley (66) and second-round leader Chris Kirk (69) were one stroke back, and defending champion Anthony Kim and David Hearn (66) were two behind.

Lehman shoots course-record 64 SAUCIER, Miss. — Tom Lehman broke the course record by shooting an 8-under 64, taking a one-stroke lead over Jeff Sluman after the second round of the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic at Fallen Oak. Lehman birdied five straight holes on the back nine, starting with a 35-foot putt on No. 12, to charge up the leaderboard after a slow start.

Then on No. 18, he chipped in from the bunker for his sixth birdie in seven holes. He’s 13 under for the tournament.

Davies, Horsey on top in Morocco AGADIR, Morocco — Defending champion Rhys Davies of Wales recovered from a poor start to shoot a 4-under 68 and share the lead with David Horsey after the third round at the Hassan II Trophy. Davies mixed three bogeys and two birdies in the first six holes. He then added six birdies and one bogey the rest of the way for a 10under 205.

place and what needed to change,” Blair said on a conference call, adding that one of those necessary changes was a commitment to women’s athletics, including basketball. “No one would touch it until they were committed.”

He built a flailing team into a national power, reaching the regional semifinals in 2008 and now the Final Four with a philosophy built on constricting defense. All four of Texas A&M’s opponents in this NCAA tournament were held below 50 points.

“We’re aggressive and we have great technique, so we don’t foul all the time,” Adams, a 6-foot-1 forward, said. “Teams get frustrated when our guards are pressuring 30 feet from the basket.”

Last season, Adams’ renewed dedication led her to lose nearly 40 pounds and develop a deft

shooting and passing touch both inside and on the perimeter. This season she averaged 22.7 points and 8.7 rebounds and was named first team all-American by The Associated Press.

“Other people believed I wasn’t good enough to play on this team,” Adams said. “I decided to prove everybody wrong.”

After attending Tuesday’s game in Dallas, Trigg Crawford, who played at Texas A&M in the late 1970s, drove two hours home to the family farm that she operates.

On Wednesday morning, when a local farmer offered to haul her tractor into town for repairs, the first thing he wanted to discuss was the victory over Baylor.

“When Aggie basketball is the leading topic on the farm in Direct, Texas, you know it is a big deal,” Crawford said.

CONNECTICUT Record: 36-1. Nickname: Huskies.

Coach: Geno Auriemma.

Conference: Big East.

Bid: Big East champion.

Scoring: Team (76.9); Maya Moore 22.5; Tiffany Hayes 13.9; Bria Hartley 12.5.

Rebounds: Team (42.6); Maya Moore 8.2; Kelly Faris 6.7; Stefanie Dolson 6.2.

The Skinny: The Huskies are back in the Final Four for the fourth straight season. UConn looks for its third straight national championship, trying to become just the second team to accomplish it. As coach Geno Auriemma quipped, his team is the only one that has players that actually have won a national championship on their roster.

UConn used a superb defensive effort to beat Duke in the regional final after battling with Big East foe Georgetown in the semifinals. The Huskies had their record 90-game winning streak end in Stanford on Dec. 30, but they haven’t lost since.

the university’s career leading scorer from 1982 to 1986.

“It was sad,” said Langston, who is now assistant athletic director of the Fort Worth school district. “I had friends who didn’t even come to the games. Nobody cared.”

When Lynn Hickey became the women’s basketball coach in 1984, Texas A&M began charging admission, Langston said, because Hickey believed “if you don’t charge, you’re not worth coming to see.”

Change at Texas A&M, and ev-

catch Ford.

“Getting second to Tommy Ford is pretty respectable,” said the 22-year-old Biesemeyer, who recently won the NorAm overall title. “I’ll take it.”

Mancuso, 27, honed her ability to carve swiftly through soft snow in her hometown of Squaw Valley, Calif. In fact, she spent a few days freeskiing there just before nationals.

That’s paying off now.

Mancuso glided through the course Saturday in 1:13.34, edging Leanne Smith by 0.20 seconds. Mancuso also won the giant slalom Friday, using a fast second run to eclipse Sarah Schleper.

“It’s really nice to win races.

It’s not something that happens very often for me, especially be-

cause I’m racing World Cup all the time,” said Mancuso, who has five World Cup wins, including the final downhill of the season last month. “It’s fun to go to nationals and win.”

That’s something she has done quite often. Mancuso has extended her record to 13 national titles and has a chance to earn another in a slalom race today. She moved ahead of Andrea Mead Lawrence last spring for most national titles by an American, a mark that had stood for 55 years.

This was Mancuso’s first super-G national title in four years.

She also won in 2003, beating, among others, Lindsey Vonn, known then as Lindsey Kildow.

Vonn skipped these nationals to rest after a long World Cup season.

LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE APPROVING A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE REDMOND DOWNTOWN URBAN RENEWAL PLAN The Redmond City Council will conduct a public hearing at their regularly scheduled meeting on April 12, 2011, 7:00 PM, in the Redmond City Council Chambers at 777 SW Deschutes Avenue, Redmond, Oregon, to consider the adoption of an ordinance approving a substantial amendment to the Redmond Downtown Urban Renewal Plan ("Plan"): the Twelfth Amendment to the Redmond Downtown Urban Renewal Plan ("Plan Amendment"), Report on the Twelfth Amendment to the Redmond Downtown Urban Renewal Plan ("Report"), and the Downtown Urban Renewal Development Strategy ("Development Strategy").

A copy of the Ordinance, the Plan Amendment, Report and Development Strategy documents can be obtained by contacting Kelly Morse, City of Redmond City Recorder at City Hall, 716 SW Evergreen Avenue, or 923-7751, or can be viewed in the reference area of the Redmond Public Library, 827 SW Deschutes Avenue, Redmond, Oregon. The ordinance, if approved, is subject to referendum.

The proposed Plan Amendment is a substantial amendment to the Redmond Downtown Urban Renewal Plan, expanding the district boundaries from 599 acres to 701.7 acres, and raising the budget authority from $27,136,719 to $120,717,081, which is described as maximum indebtedness in the Plan.

The adoption of the Plan Amendment may impact property tax rates. However, a financial feasibility analysis provided in the Report esti-

mates that for the owner of a $150,000 home, the maximum potential tax impact of the Plan Amendment is less than $23.00 for the entire twenty year implementation period of the Plan.

If you have any questions and/or concerns regarding the Redmond Downtown Urban Renewal Plan please contact Heather Richards at Redmond City Hall, 716 SW Evergreen Avenue, 541-923-7756, or heather.richards@ci.redmond.or.us.

Admiring Kitzhaber’s necessary budget cuts

T

he outlines of a state budget are beginning to be drawn, and the picture is not easy on the eyes.

But there are encouraging signs.

There is at least some hint that our political leadership, Democrats and Republicans, are — keep your fingers crossed — acting realistically and responsibly.

On the downside, there are still institutional voices trying to deny the obvious.

The problem is not hard to understand.

We can’t afford the government we have, and by government, I mean all the public services we enjoy. Their cost on any projected basis is simply and substantially outstripping any presumed growth in state tax revenues.

And it is not just because of the horrid economic condition the world is in.

As all major candidates acknowledged during the November elections, Oregon has not been successful in sustaining a private economy and, as the size of the state government has been growing, economic, educational and environmental policies have left our workforce on the downslide of median income.

It is a classic death spiral that is certainly intensified by economic duress but not entirely caused by it.

And even with a recovery, the rock of increasing state spending is heading for a collision with the hard place of state revenues.

It was encouraging, therefore, that Gov. John Kitzhaber chose a new way to look at the budget being assembled in Salem, and that legislative leaders — at least at the moment — seem to be willing to go along.

What Kitzhaber is proposing has the downside of being painful, to say the least, but the upside of being necessary and admirable.

Good for him.

In the past, the state has been trapped by its own presumptions.

The starting point for each biennial budget has been something called the current service level. Simply described, it says a future budget will start with all that is required to maintain the level of government services you are getting today, whatever the cost. Given inflation, greater demand for services, increasing pay and benefits for state workers, etc., using this approach means that any future budget starts out far more expensive than the one it succeeds. And that is before any new venture is added.

There are many benefits to this approach, including not having to make hard choices.

But this Shangri-La of spending has one foreboding requirement — a perpetual revenue-enhancing machine the likes of which are rarely, if ever, seen. When that machine falters, the state ends up where it is today: financially on its backside by more than $3 billion.

Classically, governments in this predicament either borrow, tax or cut their way out of it. Or they discover gold or oil, which even if available in Oregon would be off limits thanks to environmental restrictions.

The state’s credit card is full — the result of ignoring the obvious for so long — so borrowing is out.

New taxes? Good luck.

So, cuts it is.

Kitzhaber has based his budget proposal on the current spending level, not the current service level. The current spending level is a fixed number that reflects all the cuts the state has already made over the past couple of years.

The governor is saying that what money you are getting today is what you are getting tomorrow, enhanced only by whatever new revenue comes in. Even in this very bad time, the state predicts it will have another billion dollars — in this context a very small increase — or so in revenue.

Limited to the current spending level, the cost of any growth in demand for services, inflation or pay and benefits will have to be absorbed in today’s dollars.

There will be a mad scramble for a piece of that billion dollars, but unless this forces a fundamental resetting of all the hoary assumptions of state spending, get ready to watch services wither.

It’s possible — just possible — that the governor has ignited a conversation that will, in the long run, save the state.

Billions spent to battle bombs,

with little success

By Peter Cary and Nancy A. Youssef Center for Public Integrity and McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON —

I

n February 2006, with roadside bombs killing more and more American soldiers in Iraq, the Pentagon created an agency to defeat the dead-

ly threat and tasked a retired four-star general to run it.

Five years later, the agency has ballooned into a 1,900-employee behemoth and has spent nearly $17 billion on hundreds of initiatives. Yet the technologies it’s developed have failed to significantly improve U.S. soldiers’ ability to detect unexploded roadside bombs and have never been able to find them at long distances. Indeed, the best detectors remain the low-tech methods: trained dogs, local handlers and soldiers themselves.

A review by the Center for Public Integrity and McClatchy Newspapers of government reports and interviews with auditors, investigators and congressional staffers show that the agency — the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization — also violated its own accounting rules and hasn’t properly evaluated its initiatives to keep mistakes from being repeated.

Meanwhile, roadside bombs remain the single worst killer of soldiers as more U.S. forces have been transferred out of Iraq and into Afghanistan. Known in military parlance as improvised explosive devices, the crude, often-homemade bombs killed 368 coalition troops in Afghanistan last year, by far the highest annual total since 2001, when the U.S.-led war there began, according to icasualties.org, which tracks military casualties in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

Among the serious questions about how well JIEDDO has spent its billions: • The agency failed to collect data on its projects, leading a congressional investigative subcommittee to conclude in 2008: “The nation does not yet know if JIEDDO is winning the (counter-IED) fight.”

• Some of its spending went to programs that had little to do with its core mission, including $400 million for Army force protection in 2010 and $24.6 million to hire private contractors for intelligence operations in Afghanistan.

Money is right for managing billions

O

regon government operates under market forces and is led by political forces. And when the market forces have pulled the state into another shortfall, nothing grabs

the attention of political forces like a state employee making what seems like a lot of money.

Oregon has 14 investment officers that manage the $74 billion that Oregon invests. They are some of the best-paid state employees. On average, they got paid $162,000 in 2010.

On top, they got an average bonus for performance of another $39,000.

Are the investment officers worth that kind of money? Should they be earning bonuses even when state investments tank?

The short answer is yes.

The Treasurer’s Office hired a consultant to study the pay. The 2009 report looked at salaries and bonuses for people who manage other large public funds and comparable employees in private sector firms. For 2009, Oregon’s employees made less in salary than the median for other public funds and for private sector employees. And also for 2009, as you might expect, the maximum Oregon employees can make is far below the median of what private sector employees can make.

Then there are those incentive bonuses. We know the idea of pay for performance may be an alien concept in government work. But it’s how more government workers should be paid.

At Treasury, investment officers can earn bonuses based on the five-year average return of the fund they manage. The fund is weighed against similar funds managed by other states. If the fund they manage ranks in the top 45 percent, they earn a bonus. The bonus increases up to 30 percent of base salary, if the fund is in the top 15 percent of earnings in pension funds.

Investment officers can, then, earn bonuses if the state’s investments are performing poorly. That’s not necessarily bad. Most of what these investment officers are doing is trying to earn money to pay future retirement benefits for state employees. Oregonians need state pension funds to do well even if the market is diving. Otherwise, instead of money for schools or roads Oregon must pay more and more of employee salaries into state pensions.

How have state investments done?

Most of the $74 billion that Oregon invests is in the Oregon’s Public Employees Retirement Fund. Over the last 10 years, OPERF has had 10-year annual returns of about 5.5 percent.

The S&P 500 earned 1.4 percent over the same period.

Thank you, investment officers.

Rule needs a change O

regon’s law that requires cities to improve streets before development begins makes sense — so far as it goes. It aims to forestall the kinds of problems that can come with the opening of a new shopping mall or industrial park, preventing traffic delays and disruptions in the process. Yet as the city of Bend has learned with Juniper Ridge, the law is flawed, and now legislators hope to improve it.

Juniper Ridge holds the beginnings of all sorts of development for Bend — everything from manufacturing to educational facilities to housing in an area on the city’s far northeast side.

The state of Oregon through its Department of Transportation had put a steep price on allowing development to go full steam ahead, however: The city must pay the major portion of whatever it costs to improve the intersection of Cooley Road and U.S. Highway 97 before much of anything else would be allowed to happen. A recent estimate of the proposed fixes set the price at more than $53 million, with about $30 million of that coming from city coffers.

Talk about a bureaucratic Catch-22.

Fortunately for Bend, the city and ODOT have been able to work out a reasonable — and reasoned — solution to the problem. Rather than requiring the Cooley-97 improvements up front, the state will allow them to be completed over time, with each next step triggered as traffic increases. That gives

the city time to come up with several smaller amounts of money for its share of the improvements, surely an easier set of bills to pay than one whopping $30 million one. It also ensures that there will be no huge congestion “surprises”: Road improvements will still be made in timely fashion, though not all at once.

It does something else, as well.

Should circumstances, and with them, traffic flow, change — should the rush of cars expected at the intersection never arrive — neither the city nor the state will have spent money to make improvements far beyond what was needed.

Two bills now moving through the Legislature would improve the situation. One, HB 3029, would grant an exemption from the road improvement rule to communities under 10,000 population. In Central Oregon, Madras, Prineville, Sisters and La Pine would be off the up-front hook, and that’s no bad thing. A second, SB 795, sponsored by state Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, would put the rule on hold for everyone for a period of years.

The House measure is a good start, and worthy of being improved. The Senate bill, meanwhile, is even better.

If we had to chose between the two, we’d take the latter. If only the House bill can gather the support needed to become law, it’s certainly better than nothing.

Oregonians must get tough to close state budget shortfall

By Phil Soth Bulletin guest columnist

A

s Johnny Cash so aptly phrased it in “A Boy Named Sue,” “… I had to get tough or die.”

As Oregon struggles with unrelenting revenue shortfall and unbridled expense increase, and our legislators, public agency management and union leaders alike are unable to come to a meeting of the minds on constructive solutions, I propose the following: 1. Immediately place an indefinite freeze on all attrition-related hiring, with the exception of classroom teachers and emergency personnel.

2. Strip one level of management/ nonunion administrative structure from all public agencies, including city, county and state offices. As in the private sector, management and support structure feeds on itself until functions once deemed optional become seemingly essential. This process of layer reduction should be driven to each lowest possible departmental level, and should include not only governmental entities but educational and any other tax-supported functions. The only exceptions to this point would be classroom teachers and emergency personnel.

3. Of course, point number 2 will be limited to the extent that personnel so affected are represented by a union, and presumably off-limits to personnel cuts. While the arm-wrestling plays out relative to the willingness of union leaders to look beyond their nested/ vested interests, I propose that all public agencies seriously and profoundly investigate a broad promotional policy that reclassifies rank-and-file employees into management positions.

4. Then, repeat step number 2.

5. Repeat steps number 2-4 as nec-

IN MY VIEW essary to achieve revenue-expense stasis.

6. Oregon voters are as much to blame for the current budget dilemma as are public and union leaders, and the initiative process is their drug of choice. As we have seen recently, the majority of Oregon voters cannot resist passing costly initiatives even though there is no conceivable way to fund many of these programs. Thus, I propose: 6a. Resubmit all recently approved expense-related initiatives to the voters for reconsideration. I am cognizant of the impracticality of this suggestion, but the key point is that voters need to understand the effects of their seemingly harmless “yea” votes on the plethora of Goody Two-Shoes initiatives with which we are presented each election season.

6b. Require public agencies to report fiscal results annually on each new measure passed within a rolling fiveyear basis. This will educate voters as to what their “yea” vote cost them. An option would be to also enumerate a set of three positive, tangible results for each measure. Of course, preparation of this report must preclude any addition of staff or administrative personnel.

6c. Encourage the development of a reverse-initiative process, whereby each public entity (city, county, state and education district) is required to submit a proposal to cut at least one program each year, to be voted upon by the public, the result of which would require immediate cessation and defunding of that program. The initiative title must be clear and unambiguous

so that a “yea” vote clearly means discontinuation of the program.

6d. Repeat steps 2-4 as necessary to achieve revenue-expense stasis.

6e. Tighten the criteria for placing any new measure on the ballot. This would affect faint-hearted legislators (in regard to Measures 66 and 67) and goofball do-gooders, and impose a higher standard for giving Oregon voters a choice. We have demonstrated time and again that we can’t stay out of the candy store, so we must not be exposed to the temptation.

7. Develop a sliding scale bonus structure for public management personnel that rewards them for financial results coming in under budget.

However, maintain the prevailing budgetary practice of basing next year’s budget on the previous year’s results.

This will give added incentive to step number 6c.

8. Encourage the union rank-andfile to request of their leaders measures similar to these, with the goal in mind of reducing union administrative expenses and passing those expense reductions onto their members in the form of lower dues.

The application of Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs suggests that the majority of Oregonians — and I include us voters — are living in the love/belonging, esteem and self-actualization levels, while the brutal truth is that our world is presenting us with physiological and safety challenges.

Until — and only until — we face these harsh realities, we will continue the downward spiral in which vested interests have placed us and are allowing us to drown in our own economic, administrative and political detritus.

Messiness of Egypt’s transition to democracy was inevitable CAIRO — gypt is a mess.

Nearly two months after street protests inspired a democratic revolution, the transitional military-backed government has proposed a law banning protests. That’s partly because everybody is protesting, even the police. The cops want more money, perhaps because their diminished authority means that they can now extract less in bribes.

With the police out of commission, the army uses thugs to intimidate its critics.

When it gets irritated, it arrests and tortures democracy activists. As I wrote in my previous column, it has even tried to humiliate female activists by subjecting them to forced “virginity exams.”

The Muslim Brotherhood, once banned, has been brought into the power structure. Instead of denouncing the system, it is becoming part of it — and some of its activists are rampaging around Cairo University.

Yet for Americans, what is unfolding is perhaps a reassuring mess. Western-

E

ers have mostly worried that Egypt might plunge into Iran-style Islamic fundamentalism. Indeed, it seems increasingly likely that Egypt won’t change as much as many had expected. Moreover, the biggest losers of the revolution are likely to be violent Islamic extremist groups that lose steam when the more moderate Muslim Brotherhood joins the system.

“There is a determined effort to stop the revolution in its tracks,” notes Professor Khaled Fahmy of the American University in Cairo. That’s disappointing for democracy activists like him, but reassuring to those who fear upheaval.

Based on my third trip to Cairo since the protests began, here’s my guess as to how events unfold: • Post-revolution Egypt will look a lot like pre-revolution Egypt, but modestly less repressive and with a more powerful civil society. The army will continue to run the show, as it has since 1952 through onetime officers like Hosni Mubarak, and will ensure continuity.

• People will continue to be tortured,

NICHOLAS KRISTOF but will complain about it more. Peace with Israel will continue, but Egyptian officials will speak up more forcefully about suffering in Gaza.

• The best bet for the next president is Amr Moussa. He’s a former foreign minister who has led the Arab League — a veteran politician and pragmatist who would constitute a breath of fresh air but not a gust of it.

• Islamists will play a greater role in society and government, as they do in Turkey. This will also mean that they are trying to build things rather than blow them up.

Islamic groups are more active than before. Mohammed Alaiwa, a professor of literary criticism at Cairo University, told

me that he was in a dean’s office recently when a Muslim Brotherhood student burst in, pulled out a pistol and threatened to shoot the dean unless he resigned then and there (the student eventually backed down). Alaiwa said that he now fears the Muslim Brotherhood students.

Meanwhile, the up-and-comer Islamists are Salafis, who think the Muslim Brotherhood is far too moderate.

Order is breaking down somewhat.

When Egyptians celebrated International Women’s Day on March 8, gangs of men harassed them. When Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel Peace Prize winner who is running for president, tried to vote in a recent referendum, a mob attacked him.

When foreign reporters show up to cover news that might portray Egypt in a bad light, angry mobs sometimes chase them away. Fortunately, terrified reporters have so far proved to be swifter runners than Egyptian xenophobes.

Yet we have to be realistic: Roads to democracy are always bumpy — and, frankly, I feel pretty good about Egypt.

Despite some excesses, the Muslim Brotherhood has been tamed by being brought into the system. It says it won’t field a candidate for president and will contest only a bit more than one-third of parliamentary seats.

The big loser from the Muslim Brotherhood’s rise is probably its enemy, al-Qaida, which wasn’t a part of the democracy protests and always argued that the only path to change was violence.

All in all, Egypt today reminds me of other countries in transitions to democracy — Spain after Franco, South Korea in 1987, Romania or Ukraine in the 1990s, and, most of all, of Indonesia after the ouster of its dictator in 1998. Indonesia was dodgy for a while, but it settled down, the extremist threat diminished, and Indonesia is now a stable (if unfinished) democracy.

So, yes, Egypt is messy. A young democracy almost always is. Get used to it.

O Obama’s amazing Libyan achievements B

y bombing Libya, President Obama accomplished some things once thought absolutely impossible in America: A) War-mongering liberals. Liberals are now chest-thumping about military “progress” in Libya. Even liberal television and radio cite ingenious reasons why an optional, preemptive American intervention in an oil-producing Arab country, without prior congressional approval or majority public support — and at a time of soaring deficits — is well worth supporting, in a sort of “my president, right or wrong” fashion. Apparently liberal foreign policy is returning to the pre-Vietnam days of the hawkish “best and brightest.”

B) Europe first. Many Americans have long complained about the opportunistic, utopian Europeans. Under the protective U.S. defense shield, they often privately urged us to deal with dangerous foreign dictators — while staying above the fray to criticize America, at the same time seeking trade advantages and positive global PR. But now the wily Obama has out-waited even the French. He has managed to shame them into acting with a new possumlike U.S. strategy of playing dead until finally even Europe was exasperated — almost as if the president were warning them, “We don’t mind the Gadhafi bloodletting if you, who are much closer to it, don’t mind.” The British Guardian

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON and French Le Monde will be too kneedeep in the Libyan war, busy chalking up Anglo-French “wins” and worrying about European oil concessions, to charge America with the usual imperialism, colonialism and militarism. We are almost back to the 1956 world of the Suez crisis.

C) Iraq was just a Libyan prequel.

Conservatives have complained that past opposition — especially in the cases of then-Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden — to George W. Bush’s antiterrorism policies and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was more partisan than principled. Obama ended that debate by showing that not only can he embrace — or, on occasion, expand — the BushCheney tribunals, preventative detentions, renditions, Predator attacks, intercepts and wiretaps, and Guantánamo Bay, but now pre-emptively attack an Arab oil-exporting country without fear of Hollywood, congressional cutoffs, Moveon.org “General Betray Us”type ads, Cindy Sheehan on the evening news, or “Checkpoint”-like novels.

In short, Obama has ensured that the exasperated anti-war movement will

never be quite the same.

D) Monster-in-recovery. The Gadhafi clan has been wooing Westerners through oil money and multicultural gobbledygook. In the last few years, the British released the Lockerbie bomber, a native of Libya; Saif Gadhafi, the would-be artist and scholar and the son of Col. Moammar Gadhafi, essentially bought a Ph.D. from the prestigious London School of Economics; the creepy Harvard-connected Monitor Group hired out cash-hungry “scholars” to write on-spec tributes to Gadhafi’s achievements; and singers Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, Beyoncé and other entertainers earned a pile of petro-dollars for crooning before the Gadhafis. Then, suddenly, Obama spoiled the fun and profits by turning Gadhafi from a rehabilitated monster back into Ronald Reagan’s old “Mad Dog of the Middle East.”

E) Stuff happens. Many supporters of the Iraq war condemned Abu Ghraib as the poorly supervised, out-of-control prison it was. Lax American oversight resulted in the sexual humiliation of detained Iraqi insurgents. It was a deplorable episode in which, nonetheless, no one was killed, and yet it took an enormous toll on the credibility of administration officials. But while the media covered the Libyan bombing and the Middle East uprisings, a number of Afghan civilians allegedly were executed by a few rogue American sol-

diers. That was a far worse transgression than anything that happened at Abu Ghraib under Bush’s tenure — but apparently an incident that in the new media climate, can legitimately be ignored. Obama made “stuff happens” a legitimate defense for those doing their best to run a war from Washington.

F) War really is tiring. The media serially blamed a supposedly lazy Ronald Reagan for napping during military operations abroad. George W. Bush was criticized for cutting brush at his Texas ranch while soldiers fought and died in Iraq. Obama rendered all such presidential criticism as mere nitpicking when he started aerial bombardment in the midst of golfing, handicapping the NCAA basketball tournament and taking his family to Rio de Janeiro.

G) The road to Damascus? After Bush’s interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, many war-weary Americans believed that we would never again get involved in a Middle East war. But now, with Obama’s pre-emptive bombing of Libya, giddy American interventionists are again eyeing Iran, Syria — and beyond!

In short, Obama turned America upside down when he bombed Libya — and in ways we could have scarcely imagined.

A guide to ousted dictator exile options Zimbabwe

By William J. Dobson Special to The Washington Post

F

or dictators, it is no longer easy to get away from it all. Just ask Col. Moammar Gadhafi. As Libya’s rebels surround him and NATO’s nofly zone shrinks Gadhafi’s dominion to a tiny sliver of real estate, he may be seriously contemplating his Plan E. Exile, that is.

The trouble is, Africa’s so-called “king of kings” doesn’t have many choices. Gadhafi’s brutal treatment of Libyan citizens would make him an unwelcome house guest for any country that wants to have a semblance of a relationship with the United States or much of Europe. No Asian nation wants the headache of a dictatorial diva. Thirty-one African countries have signed on to the International Criminal Court, which probably would put Gadhafi at too much risk of ending up at The Hague. And most of his fellow Arab autocrats are hardly in a position to offer anyone a safe haven these days. Plus, if he chose a regime in his own backyard, there would be a fairly good chance he’d have to flee again — and no one likes to move twice.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently told ABC’s Diane Sawyer that “people close to” Gadhafi are making overtures around the world, looking for an out. But when the Libyan leader and his sons hunt for retirement destinations, they are going to come up with a very short list. If they do fuel up the jet and try to make an escape, here are a handful of locales they may try:

Venezuela Pros: Hugo Chavez has been outspoken in defending the Libyan dictator

and calls him a friend. Plus, his antipathy for the United States would probably make him an eager host for any enemy of the yanqui imperialists. Gadhafi is said to have had an enchanting time two years ago on the picturesque Venezuelan island of Margarita, where he found time to shop for jewelry and digital cameras.

Cons: Chavez’s own political future is very much in question. His party suffered its biggest defeat in parliamentary elections in September, and his personal popularity is declining, falling from more than 70 percent in 2006 to just over 50 percent today. Recently, his outlandish statements — such as his speculation that capitalism may have killed life on Mars — make him sound almost as unstable as, well, Gadhafi. The only thing more unhinged may be the Venezuelan economy, which has one of the world’s highest inflation rates.

Odds: 3 to 1

Pros: Closer to home, Gadhafi could seek shelter in the brutal regime of President Robert Mugabe. The Zimbabwean leader is very much a 20th-century-style dictator, ready to use death squads and outright terror to cow his people into submission. So, where many African dictatorships appear wobbly, Mugabe’s death grip on his country remains firm.

Cons: Mugabe is 87, and there is little guarantee that a post-Mugabe Zimbabwe would be safe for the Gadhafi clan.

Plus, a new place in Zimbabwe could be expensive. Mugabe doesn’t do anything out of the kindness of his heart, so he would probably demand more than a few suitcases of Gadhafi’s stolen oil money.

Odds: 5 to 1

Equatorial Guinea Pros: When it struck oil a few years ago, this tiny West African country became the world’s newest petrolpowered dictatorship. With his coffers overflowing, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema doesn’t appear to be going anywhere. He also may have a soft spot for aging dictators. In fact, if Gadhafi were forced to flee, Obiang would replace him as Africa’s longest-serving dictator.

Cons: Alas, Obiang may actually care what people think. In 2008, he tried to fund a UNESCO prize — in his own name — for scientists who make contributions to the “quality of human life.” (The global organization ultimately declined to award the prize.)

He may also be craving respect for his chairmanship of the African Union.

Money may not buy respect, but taking in Gadhafi would hardly lower the price tag.

Odds: 25 to 1

Saudi Arabia Pros: Tunisia’s Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali is already holed up there. Pakistan’s Nawaz Sharif had an extended stay. And Idi Amin lived out his last remaining days in the kingdom. When it comes to dictators in trouble, the Saudis leave the light on.

Cons: Too bad, then, that Gadhafi is on such bad terms with King Abdullah. In a very public 2009 snub, he told Abdullah that “you were created by Britain and are protected by the United States.” It may be awkward to now ask for the king’s protection.

Odds: 50 to 1 Ousted dictators have always had to make sacrifices when their rule ends in exile, trading the absurd luxuries and excesses of their former life for the safety and security that come from being on foreign soil. No one stands at attention when they walk into a room; they can no longer jail or humiliate their enemies on the slightest whim. One can imagine them pacing their new quarters late into the night, arguing with themselves over where and when they went wrong. But, one hopes, a few of those still clinging to power will look at Gadhafi’s paltry options and draw a lesson: It may be better to beat an exit early, while there is still a place — any place — to call home.

It takes a nation to revive a city like Detroit

By Scott Martelle Los Angeles Times

I

magine for a moment that every single person living in the city of San Jose, Calif., plus an additional 150,000 or so, just up and left. Vanished.

Poof. Gone. Leaving their homes, business buildings and factories behind.

That is, in effect, what has happened to the city of Detroit, according to 2010 U.S. Census data. The city that boasted 1.8 million residents in 1950, and was the nation’s economic engine for most of the 20th century, now is home to 714,000 people, a population loss of 1.1 million — with a 25 percent drop in the last decade alone.

It’s an unprecedented collapse of a major American city. It’s not as if the population was dropping nationwide; it’s going up. Just not in Detroit. Its closest “outmigration” rival is Chicago, a five-hour drive to the west, which has lost about 964,000 people since 1950 but still holds about 2.7 million people, down 25 percent from its peak of 3.62 million in 1950.

In Detroit, the loss amounts to a staggering 60 percent of the city’s peak population. More people have left Detroit than live in San Francisco.

There are all sorts of implications

here, both for Detroit and for the nation.

The 2010 census counts for Detroit (and Chicago) were much lower than local officials, and earlier census estimates, had predicted. That raises the question of whether there were problems with the count last year or in 2000, setting false benchmarks. Detroit officials say they plan to challenge the numbers, and Mayor David Bing announced he wants to find 40,000 Detroiters who were missed to try to push the count above the 750,000 mark, a key threshold for formulas used in distributing federal urban aid.

But there are two larger issues that have broader national implications. The first is, when we look at Detroit, are we confronted with the remnants of the nation’s industrial past or a harbinger of its urban future?

The second is, what are we going to do about it? And no, that’s not Detroit’s problem alone. If a similar collapse happened to San Francisco or San Diego or Denver or Dallas, there would be national cries for intervention. Detroit we treat like a crash on the freeway: something to gawk at, then forget while we blame auto executives — the driver — for their follies and ignore the injured passengers.

The collapse of Detroit has roots in in-

tentional de-industrialization by the Big Three automakers, which in the 1950s began aggressively spider-webbing operations across the nation to produce cars closer to regional markets, and to reduce labor costs by investing in less labor-friendly places than union-heavy Detroit. Their flight was augmented by government policies that, in the 1970s and 1980s particularly, forced municipalities and states to compete with each other for jobs by offering corporate tax breaks and other inducements to keep or draw business investments, a bit of whipsawing that helped companies profit at the expense of communities.

Racism plays a significant role too.

Detroit’s white flight exploded in the 1950s and ’60s, after courts struck down local and federal policies that had allowed segregated housing. That was followed by middle-class flight on the part of blacks and whites as crime endemic to high-poverty, high-unemployment neighborhoods began spreading. It’s significant to note that Detroit’s innerring suburbs have been picking up African-American populations as young Detroit families seek safety, stability and more reliable schools. As they run out of the city, its vast socioeconomic problems become even more distilled,

more pronounced.

Detroit stands as the reverse image of what we think a modern American city should be. Where most have a few “bad” neighborhoods, Detroit has a few “good” neighborhoods, and they are eroding quickly with the middle-class exodus.

Working-age Detroiters face chronic unemployment in a dying industrial economy. The city has been buffeted by generations of racial friction and let down by governmental institutions that have failed at basic tasks, from education to crime prevention.

One in three Detroiters, triple the national rate, lived below the federal poverty line in 2007, making Detroit the poorest of the nation’s big cities.

Detroit’s per capita 2009 income was estimated at $15,310, compared with a national rate of $27,041.

To tweak the adage about how it takes a village to raise a child, it will take a nation to save a city. So, as a nation, and as a mature society, what are we going to do about Detroit?

Scott Martelle’s “The Fear Within: Spies, Commies, and American Democracy on Trial,” will be published in May. He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

Looking for luck in Libya T

here is an old saying in the Middle East that a camel is a horse that was designed by a committee. That thought came to my mind as I listened to President Barack Obama trying to explain the intervention of America and its allies in Libya — and I don’t say that as criticism. I say it with empathy. This is really hard stuff, and it’s just the beginning.

When an entire region that has been living outside the biggest global trends of free politics and free markets for half a century suddenly, from the bottom up, decides to join history — and each one of these states has a different ethnic, tribal, sectarian and political orientation and a loose coalition of Western and Arab states with mixed motives trying to figure out how to help them — well, folks, you’re going to end up with some very strangelooking policy animals. And Libya is just the first of many hard choices we’re going to face in the “new” Middle East.

How could it not be? In Libya, we have to figure out whether to help rebels we do not know topple a terrible dictator we do not like, while at the same time we turn a blind eye to a monarch whom we do like in Bahrain, who has violently suppressed people we also like — Bahraini democrats — because these people we like have in their ranks people we don’t like: pro-Iranian Shiite hard-liners. All the while in Saudi Arabia, leaders we like are telling us we never should have let go of the leader who was so disliked by his own people — Hosni Mubarak — and, while we would like to tell the Saudi leaders to take a hike on this subject, we can’t because they have so much oil and money that we like. And this is a lot like our dilemma in Syria, where a regime we don’t like — and which probably killed the prime minister of Lebanon whom it disliked — could be toppled by people who say what we like, but we’re not sure they all really believe what we like because among them could be Sunni fundamentalists, who, if they seize power, could suppress all those minorities in Syria whom they don’t like.

Welcome to the Middle East of 2011!

You want the truth about it? You can’t handle the truth. The truth is that it’s a dangerous, violent, hope-filled and potentially hugely positive or explosive mess — fraught with moral and political ambiguities. We have to build democracy in the Middle East we’ve got, not the one we want — and this is the one we’ve got.

That’s why I am proud of my president, really worried about him, and just praying that he’s lucky.

Unlike all of us in the armchairs, the president had to choose, and I found the way he spelled out his core argument Monday sincere and compelling: “Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different. And, as president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action.”

I am glad we have a president who sees America that way. That argument cannot just be shrugged off, especially when confronting a dictator like Moammar Gadhafi. But, at the same time, I believe it is naive to think that we can be humanitarians only from the air — and now we just hand the situation off to NATO, as if it were ASEAN and we were not the backbone of the NATO military alliance, and we’re done.

I don’t know Libya, but my gut tells me that any kind of decent outcome there will require boots on the ground — either as military help for the rebels to oust Gadhafi as we want, or as post-Gadhafi peacekeepers and referees between tribes and factions to help with any transition to democracy. Those boots cannot be ours.

We simply cannot afford it — whether in terms of money, manpower, energy or attention. But I am deeply dubious that our allies can or will handle it without us, either. And if the fight there turns ugly, or stalemates, people will be calling for our humanitarian help again. You bomb it, you own it.

Which is why, most of all, I hope Obama is lucky. I hope Gadhafi’s regime collapses like a sand castle, that the Libyan opposition turns out to be decent and united and that it requires just a bare minimum of international help to get on its feet.

Then U.S. prestige will be enhanced and this humanitarian mission will have both saved lives and helped to lock another Arab state into the democratic camp.

Dear Lord, please make President Obama lucky.

“Please Look After Mom” is the work of a popular South Korean novelist, Kyung-sook Shin, who is being published in English for the first time. The book sold more than 1 million copies in South Korea, where there may not be a dry hankie left in the land.

The book is about the selfish family of Park So-nyo, a woman who got lost in the crowd at a train station in Seoul and has not reappeared. Shocked into decency, her husband, two sons and two daughters find themselves replaying all the button-pushing, tearjerking moments that illustrated this woman’s love and devotion.

It would be a grievous understatement to call her a mere martyr.

“Mom,” as she is jarringly called throughout the book’s English version (translated by ChiYoung Kim), was much more than that. But we need to learn about her saintliness in stages. So the book is divided into sections, each devoted to the browbeating of a particular character. Mom’s highstrung careerist daughter and Mom’s faithless husband are both addressed by the author as “you,” as if Shin means to give each a highly personalized scolding.

Here are the circumstances of Mom’s disappearance, just to give a sampling of the book’s Dickensian extremes: Mom seems to have wandered through Seoul until she became dirty, disheveled and sick. Residents of Seoul recall seeing this lost soul hobbling along on feet that had been cut to the bone by plastic sandals, feet so pustular that they attracted flies. Step by agonizing step, Mom was limping her way to the place where her favorite child settled in Seoul 30 years earlier.

That favorite child is Hyongchol, her first-born son. Oh, what a favorite he was. “If she could have, Mom would have come to see him with eggplants or pumpkins tied to her legs,” Shin writes, using the book’s constant motif of contrasting Mom’s rural, handson, family-centric life with the modern, soulless city lives that her children have chosen.

When Mom makes one of her backbreaking day trips to Seoul for a wedding, she typically makes kimchi out of salted cabbage she has brought, scrubs the pots, cleans the stove, sews blanket covers, washes rice, makes bean-paste soup and serves supper. She puts pieces of the meat

Soviet labor camp “Between Shades of Gray”

by Ruta Sepetys (Philomel, 344 pgs., $17.99)

New York Times News Service

By Susan Carpenter Los Angeles Times

she has stewed on each of her grown children’s spoons, insisting that she herself is not hungry.

Then she picks up and goes home, claiming that she must work in the rice paddies the next day. Her real reason for leaving is that the children’s city quarters are too small to have room for her.

Guilt-tripped by these memories, Hyong-chol vows to treat Mom better — if it isn’t too late.

And the family’s older daughter, a snappish writer, realizes that she too has ignored Mom’s needs.

This daughter remembers that Mom’s “dark eyes, which used to be as brilliant and round as the eyes of a cow that is about to give birth,” grew dim with pain as Mom began suffering the splitting headaches that nobody much cared about. Two other aspects of Mom’s life that went unnoticed: She was illiterate and had cancer.

Mom didn’t always suffer in silence. She was capable of whipping the kids, throwing a table and walking out on her heartless husband after he brought

home his girlfriend and installed this woman in the household.

Because Mom was always more sensible than anybody else, she rethought this last decision, came back for the sake of her children and kicked out the husband and girlfriend. Then she forgave him when, some months later, he came creeping back — alone.

Part of this book’s popularity in Korea stemmed from its cautionary powers. But how well will it work elsewhere? Shin has anticipated that problem by ending the book with a not-to-be-believed scene set in Rome, where Mom is compared to the most sacred of maternal figures. And let’s not underestimate how viscerally the sanctity of motherhood can be exploited as a narrative device.

By the end of the book Shin has been canny enough to make even Mom feel pangs of tearful love for her own Mom. And she has turned the book’s title, which initially sounded like an order, into something much more powerful: a prayer.

A remarkable tome on remembering “Moonwalking With Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything”

by Joshua Foer (The Penguin Press, 307 pgs., $26.95)

By Steven Rea The Philadelphia Inquirer

Why did I open the refrigerator door? Where’d I put my keys?

What was the title of the book that whosie told me about?

Well, the name of that book is “Moonwalking With Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything,” and for anyone with even a passing interest in memory, Joshua Foer’s illuminating investigation into the historical, cultural, physiological and psychological aspects of human memory is essential reading.

At once a witty, engaging firstperson account of a freelance writer with average recall skills who goes on a year-long training regimen to compete in the U.S. Memory Championship, and an illuminating overview of how memory has been used from the time of Simonides to now, Foer’s book is remarkable, and also remarkably practical.

At the outset, Foer explains that this is not a self-help manual.

But at the same time, his investigation into the intense-o world of competitive mnemonists, of the aforementioned fifth century B.C. poet’s discovery of the “Memory Palace,” of Japanese chicken sexers, of veteran police detectives and amnesiacs, provides a win-

dow into how our brains work, and what we can do to hone our ability to remember.

Now, with search engines and smartphones, there really is no need to keep the stanzas of T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” or Bogey’s “hill of beans” speech from Casablanca locked in your noggin.

The mental athletes Foer meets in “Moonwalking With Einstein” are, indeed, characters. (Ed Cooke, the long-haired, harddrinking Brit who becomes Foer’s personal trainer, could be played by “Notting Hill” nutball Rhys Ifans.) And, yes, having the neuron power to memorize 4,140 binary digits in 30 minutes is perhaps a

little freakish.

But remembering key events from our childhood, our epic jaunt to India, the restaurant where we proposed to our loved one, the chunk of text from Borges, the lines from Dylan’s “Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” — there’s substance there, not trickery.

“Competing to see who can memorize more pages of poetry might seem beside the point,” Foer says, reflecting on his run in the Memory Championship. “But it’s about taking a stand against forgetfulness, and embracing primal capacities from which too many of us have become estranged.”

In young adult books about World War II, the Holocaust dominates. But lesser-known atrocities that also took place, including during the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states. The Soviets not only displaced countless Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians, leaving them to die, but wiped those countries from the map for much of the last century.

It’s this story that is told in “Between Shades of Gray,” the heartwrenching debut novel from Ruta Sepetys.

Sepetys is the granddaughter of a Lithuanian military officer who himself escaped to a refugee camp during World War II. Other members of her extended family weren’t so lucky. They were deported to Siberia, forced into hard labor or imprisoned, much like the fictional characters here.

The book begins not with words but with a map. Titled “The Journey,” it shows the thousands of miles traveled by 15-year-old Lina, her 10year-old brother Jonas and their mother, Elena, in 1941 after they were snatched from their home in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas in the middle of the night, thrown on a truck and transported across Belarus to a labor camp in Siberia and finally to the Arctic Circle.

“They took me in my nightgown” are the book’s first words. It’s a horrific scene of forced family separation.

Lina’s father is missing, and the family’s terror only intensifies as her mother trades all her money and several items of jewelry to Russian soldiers to keep her two children by her side as they navigate an uncertain future.

They haven’t been told where they will be taken or why they were even on the Soviets’ list. That story gradually unfolds over the course of this elegantly written yet fast-paced novel in flashbacks triggered by the events of the family’s capture.

“Between Shades of Gray” is written retrospectively from Lina’s point of view, a subliminal indication to the reader that despite the hardships she endures, she will survive.

Lina is headstrong and an artist. The daughter of a professor, she idolizes the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch for his honesty and had hoped to attend a topnotch art academy before that dream was thwarted. In the labor camps where she was forced to dig potatoes out of the ground with her bare hands but not allowed to eat them, Lina uses drawing to channel “a sadness so deep, like your very core has been hollowed out and fed back to you from a dirty bucket.”

In writing “Between Shades of Gray,” Sepetys traveled to Lithuania twice to interview survivors of the Soviet genocide. The details of those interviews are folded into the book’s larger narrative with a sober clarity that simultaneously horrifies and fascinates, making the tragedy of the characters’ situations palpable.

Truth isn’t only stranger than fiction. Incorporated into the story line of “Between Shades of Gray,” it’s more repulsive. The daily lives of Lina and her family are punctuated by cruelty and a starvation so severe they regularly sucked the crumbs out from under their fingernails.

A man who was caught eating a stolen beet was punished by having his teeth ripped out with pliers. Lina’s reward for drawing a portrait of the labor camp’s commander was a loaf of bread thrown in the dirt at her feet and a can of sardines that was pelted at her head and drew blood.

A story of hardship as well as human triumph, “Between Shades of Gray” is an eye-opening reimagination of a very real tragedy written with grace and heart.

Historian questions North’s motives With the season open, books to read between ballgames “America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation”

by David Goldfield (Bloomsbury, 640 pgs., $35)

War was not inevitable.

But the prevailing political culture made it difficult to solve issues peaceably. ...

Without gainsaying the individual heroism of those who fought and died, it would have been a greater tribute to our nation had they lived.

By Pam Kelley

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

By Allen Barra Newsday

Branch Rickey, along with Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson, is probably one of the three most important men in baseball history — without Rickey, who helped Robinson break the color line, baseball might not have integrated for at least another decade.

There have been several long biographies of Rickey over the years, including Lee Lowenfish’s “Branch Rickey: Baseball’s Ferocious Gentleman” back in 2007, but sometimes a picture of the real man gets lost in a blizzard of detail.

Jimmy Breslin, a 1986 Pulitzer Prize winner for distinguished commentary, restores that picture in “Branch Rickey” (Viking, $19.95), a compact, vivid volume in the Penguin Lives series. Breslin writes prose that jumps off the page and gets to the truth in a hurry.

On Dodgers’ tempestuous manager Leo Durocher: “Whenever Durocher walked off the field, he headed for trouble as if it was his home address.” On the friendship between Dodgers shortstop Pee Wee Reese and Robinson: “The true record of the years of Pee Wee Reese and Robinson is contained in a photo of the two walking off the field side by side. ... They were looking down, ballplayers going to the dugout. Reese’s white left hand was only inches away from Robinson’s black right hand, but neither of them noticed.”

On Rickey himself: “Branch Rickey was neither a savior nor a Samaritan. He was a baseball man.”

“56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports”

by Kostya Kennedy (Sports Illustrated Books, 368 pgs., $26.95)

In the film version of “Farewell, My Lovely,” Robert Mitchum’s detective Philip Marlowe marks time, like millions of Americans, following Joe DiMaggio’s consecutive games hitting streak. Marlowe would have loved Kostya Kennedy’s “56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports,” which captures the atmosphere in a country perched on the edge of war in the summer of 1941.

“56” is loaded with Americana — you can almost smell the marinara sauce simmering in Italian restaurants and hear the crackling of radios from New York to Los Angeles as Americans everywhere began and ended their day by finding out if The Great DiMaggio got a hit.

Kennedy, a former Newsday staff writer, combines the sweep of a historian, the narrative power of a novelist and the passion of a fan. “DiMaggio’s streak,” he concludes, “was the only event in baseball history that defied probabilistic explanation. In the end, The

DiMaggio Enigma persists.”

Of the 17,290 players who have appeared in the major leagues, “Only one of them had ever hit in 56 straight games.”

“The House That Ruth Built: A New Stadium, the First Yankees Championship, and the Redemption of 1923”

By Robert Weintraub (Little, Brown and Company, 432 pgs., $26.99)

Just when you thought there were no great seasons left uncovered — or anything new left to say about Babe Ruth — here comes Robert Weintraub with “The House That Ruth Built: A New Stadium, the First Yankees Championship, and the Redemption of 1923.” Weintraub, who has written for Slate. com and ESPN.com, has reconstructed the 1923 season and shown how it changed baseball that season and every season that followed it.

No previous writer has taken so much care to caulk the cracks in the years between Ruth’s final year as a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox in 1919 and the Yankees’ first World Series victory in 1923. Weintraub has a fine feel for period detail as well as the scope of what happened in 1923 when the Yankees, by beating the great John McGraw’s New York Giants, ushered baseball into a new era of long ball glory.

A perfect match of team, year and writer.

“The Extra 2%: How Wall Street Strategies Took a Major League Baseball Team from Worst to First”

by Jonah Keri (Ballantine/ESPN, 272 pgs., $26)

Pro football has been described as “socialist” — the league gives each team an equal share of TV money — while baseball is “dog eat dog” — big dog eats little dog.

In “The Extra 2%: How Wall Street Strategies Took a Major League Baseball Team From Worst to First,” an exhilarating read for fans of both baseball and finance, author Jonah Keri tells how one underdog clawed its way to the top. Well, almost.

The Tampa Bay Rays nearly got to the World Series, largely because when former Goldman Sachs colleagues Stuart Sternberg and Matthew Silverman took over in 2005, they threw out baseball “wisdom” and worked from a basis of proven financial strategies, such as “positive arbitrage”: “simultaneously buying one asset ... cheaper than the one you’re selling.”

Above all, “The Extra 2%” is about the role a positive attitude can play in winning. When asked how the Rays could compete with the goliath Red Sox and Yankees, general manager Andrew Friedman said it was getting close to impossible, “But it’s doable.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In his last book on the Civil War, David Goldfield caught flak from certain Southerners because he criticized those who mythologized the conflict as a courageous lost cause. Now the University of North Carolina-Charlotte historian takes aim at the other side — the evangelical Christians of the North’s Republican Party.

In his new book, “America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation,” Goldfield describes the war not as a triumph of freedom but as America’s biggest failure — a conflict that cost 620,000 American lives, the equivalent in today’s population of 10 million people.

“The question I want readers to ask is, ‘Was this necessary?’ ” Goldfield says.

Though many countries have abolished slavery, America, he says, was the only one to do it with a civil war. “Was it all worth it?” he asks.

Certainly not in terms of money. For the $6.2 billion that the war cost, the nation could have freed the South’s 4 million slaves, paid off their owners and given every former slave reparation wages and 40 acres of land.

“You could have done all this,” he says, “without killing people.”

As the Civil War’s 150th anniversary approaches — Confederates fired on Charleston’s Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861 — publishers are releasing dozens of war-related works. In this crowded field, early reviews point to Goldfield’s book as a standout.

Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews and Library Journal have all given starred reviews to the 640-page history, praising his writing, research and fresh perspective.

The book, which was published March 15, will likely generate controversy, says Goldfield, who has written 16 books, most on Southern history.

“We’ve grown up thinking the war saved the Union and liberated 4 million human beings and it was good. I’m saying the results weren’t as

— From “America Aflame”

clear cut and there may have been a better way to achieve those results.”

Publishers Weekly says that Goldfield “courts controversy by shifting more responsibility for the conflict to the activist North and away from intransigent slaveholders.” Still, the review says, “he presents a superb, stylishly written historical synthesis that insightfully foregrounds ideology, faith and public mood.”

Why did America resort to war? Goldfield points to the polarized political system.

Governments work best, he says, when they employ moderation and compromise. But the evangelical Christian wing of the Republican Party drove a wedge between Americans, he says.

Many evangelicals, including abolitionists such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, saw slavery as a threat to democracy. They also saw Catholics as an equal or greater threat, a subversive group loyal to the pope, not America. They wanted to restrict immigration, toughen citizenship requirements and bar Catholics from holding office.

(Abraham Lincoln condemned the anti-Catholic wing of his party.)

Evangelical Christianity’s influence, Goldfield writes, “was everywhere in the political arena, in discussions about the West, about Roman Catholics, and especially about slavery.

What was troubling about this religious immersion was the blindness of its self-righteousness, its certitude, and its lack of humility to understand that those who disagree are not mortal sinners and those who subscribe to your views are not saints.”

That self-righteousness poisoned the political process, making compromise impossible, Goldfield says. “If you believe your opponent is not only

wrong, but sinful, how can you compromise?”

Some readers may find modern-day parallels in Goldfield’s work, as he discusses the problems of political polarization, mixing religion and politics and pursuing wars of choice rather than necessity. That wasn’t his goal.

“I had no personal contemporary ax to grind,” he says. “But it turns out this book I wrote definitely speaks to what we’re going through today in terms of the difficulty of finding a center.”

Goldfield isn’t arguing that the Civil War’s death and destruction outweighed the good of abolition, “but there may have been other means to achieve that noble end.”

Still, he says he has long found it annoying that the South is always “depicted as the evil empire, and the North was the republic of virtue.”

In fact, he says, many Northerners had great reservations about abolishing slavery.

“My book is neither proSouthern nor pro-Northern,” Goldfield writes. “It is anti-war, particularly the Civil War.”

Afghanistan Continued from F1 • Agency officials misreported some $795 million in costs, the Government Accountability Office said, circumventing its own rules requiring high-level Defense Department approval for projects with price tags greater than $25 million. • JIEDDO’s staff comprises six contractors for every government employee, a ratio that its outgoing director acknowledged needs to be reduced. • While the agency was mandated to “lead, advocate (and) coordinateâ€? anti-roadside bomb initiatives, more than 100 groups and initiatives inside and outside the Defense Department continue “to develop, maintain and in many cases expandâ€? their own work, the GAO found.

Is it waste or risk?

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., a former Marine and an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, said the Pentagon and its anti-IED agencies, including JIEDDO, could do far better in preventing casualties from roadside bombs. “So as long as the IED metric keeps going up, and as long as we keep taking the majority of our KIA (killed in action) casualties from IEDs, then they’ve all been unsuccessful. Period,� he said.

One U.S. soldier who was based in Baghdad in 2008 said: “We were out there every day. We studied our destroyed vehicles, and (the enemy’s IED tactics) kept changing. So we kept trying new ideas, anything, to stop them. JIEDDO didn’t help us.� The soldier declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Lt. Gen. Michael Oates, who recently stepped down as the agency’s director, acknowledged missteps but said they were inevitable because the agency was tasked with producing devices quickly. “We fund things,� said Oates, who was the agency’s third director in five years. “Sometimes we fund things that don’t work. Some call that waste; I call it risk.�

One of the things that apparently didn’t work was the Joint IED Neutralizer, created in 2002 by an Arizona start-up called Ionatron. Looking like a pair of boxy golf carts, the JIN fired ultrashort pulse lasers followed by a half-million-volt lightning bolt of electricity; its makers said it could detonate the blasting caps that

triggered IEDs from well outside blast range.

In 2005, then-Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz authorized $30 million for the JIN despite skepticism from scientists, who said damp ground or dust would render the device useless.

During test runs in Afghanistan in 2006, the JIN was disappointing: It had trouble climbing steep mountain terrain and experienced safety problems, continuing to shoot lightning bolts after its switch was turned off.

After the JIN received some publicity, an insurgent website published ways to defeat it. The

With a $400,000 earmark from Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., and $1.5 million more from JIEDDO, the Marine Corps hung the JIN on the front of a mine roller. A slide from a May 2009 Marine Corps briefing shows a device attached to mine rollers shooting a bolt of electricity into the ground. “People have been trying to use a Tesla coil� — a transformer that can produce very high-voltage discharges — “for years to defeat mines. It has never worked,� said Dan Goure, a former defense official who’s a vice president at the Lexington Institute, a Washington-area research center.

test vehicles were shipped back to the United States.

In mid-2006, shareholders filed two class-action suits against the JIN’s makers, alleging that the firm had concealed the fact that the vehicle wasn’t capable of meeting government specifications. The company, which had changed its name to Applied Energetics Inc., denied the claims but settled the suit in September 2009 by paying $5.3 million in cash and another $1.2 million in stock to the complaining shareholders. The firm didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment.

Still, the project wouldn’t die.

Failed attempts The devices JIEDDO designed to detect roadside bombs at a distance didn’t work out, Goure said.

They included airplane- or dronebased radars, long-range radars to sniff out buried control wires, and detectors to sense explosive ingredients such as ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

Other projects that were started but abandoned include: Alexis and Electra-C, which emitted waves to detonate IEDs but interfered with jammers; an unmanned Humvee called Forerunner that soldiers said “induced operator vertigo� and was hard to control, according to a JIEDDO report; and a high-powered microwave emit-

ter called BlowTorch that was designed to defeat heat-triggered IEDs but which insurgents figured out how to overcome. “We were throwing new technologies into this like fast-food orders at a diner,� Goure said.

JIEDDO officials said the agency quickly terminated programs that weren’t promising. But the GAO and some congressional staffers countered that the agency has never been good at choosing or steering its projects. “It’s been a weakness from the beginning. They don’t have good controls over startups,� said Bill Solis, the director of defense capabilities and management at the GAO, which has authored several studies on the agency.

JIEDDO spent more than $3 billion on jammers to thwart radio-controlled IEDs, which most say was a good idea. It bought mine rollers to attach to the fronts of vehicles. However, critics note that what many consider the most successful anti-roadside bomb program was only marginally funded by JIEDDO: the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle, now operating mainly in Afghanistan. While JIEDDO purchased the first 250 MRAPs, designed to withstand roadside bombs, it was a separate MRAP task force that bought more than 22,000 of them for $36 billion.

Oates, the agency’s former director, has said the “greatest return on the dollar� has been training soldiers to detect and respond to roadside bomb attacks.

The GAO noted that the agency spent $70.7 million from 2007 to 2009 on “role-players in an effort to simulate Iraqi social, political and religious groups� at Pentagon training centers.

At one training site, the agency spent $24.1 million to make steel shipping containers resemble Iraqi buildings. “I just couldn’t believe it,� said a former congressional staffer, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because of a lack of authority to speak publicly.

The agency’s future is unclear.

While some of Oates’ predecessors argued that the agency should be a permanent part of the Pentagon because the fight against roadside bombs is global and ongoing, some in Congress have argued that it should be terminated at the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Oates, for his part, said that JIEDDO “is not a permanent organization, and we do not seek to be one.�

Roadside bomb agency relies on contractors WASHINGTON — Launched in February 2006 with an urgent goal — to save U.S. soldiers from being killed by roadside bombs in Iraq — a small Pentagon agency ballooned into a bureaucratic giant fueled by that flourishing arm of the defense establishment: private contractors.

An examination by the Center for Public Integrity and the McClatchy-Tribune News Service of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization revealed an agency so dominated by contractors that the ratio of contractors to government employees has reached 6-to-1.

A JIEDDO former director, Lt. Gen. Michael Oates, acknowledged that such an imbalance raised the possibility that contractors in management positions could approve proposals or payments for other contractors.

The emphasis on contractors has earned the agency criticism from government auditors and experts, who say that it hasn’t properly accounted for their work.

The critiques raise questions about the Pentagon’s bureaucratic approach to solving a problem such as the crude, often-homemade roadside bombs that killed 368 coalition troops in Afghanistan last year. “The number of contractors is grossly out of whack for what we would expect,� said one congressional staffer who helps oversee JIEDDO but wasn’t authorized to be quoted by name.

As early as 2008, the Government Accountability Office said that JIEDDO “does not fully identify, track and report all government and contractor personnel� in accordance with Defense Department rules. While Oates said the agency had since set up systems to do so, he agreed that it’s long relied too heavily on private companies. — McClatchy-Tribune News Service

‘Big Aluminum’ has Icelandics butting heads

By Henry Chu Los Angeles Times

GRUNDARTANGI, Iceland — Part of the cure — or cause — of Iceland’s spectacular economic meltdown sits here on a rugged fjord backed by frigid blue waters and snowcapped mountains.

It’s a massive aluminum smelter on the harbor’s edge, sprawling over a few hundred acres. Owned

by Century Aluminum Co., of Monterey, Calif., and fueled by geothermal energy and hydropower, the plant churns out nearly 300,000 tons of aluminum a year, to be shipped to customers around the world.

When Iceland’s economy collapsed in 2008, pushing the country to the brink of bankruptcy, production here and at two other smelters continued, which helped keep exports alive through two years of painful recession. Now a budding economic recovery is under way, and Iceland is on track for a faster return to sustained growth than other debt-ridden nations in Europe, such as Greece or Ireland.

But that has only stoked a fierce debate over how big a role aluminum production should play in the future of this sparsely populated island. The metal already accounts for about one-seventh of Iceland’s entire economic output.

It’s a bitter fight pitting pro-business groups against environmental activists and others suspicious of the industry.

Lured by low energy costs, foreign aluminum companies are eager to expand operations. Their supporters say that large-scale investment projects are vital to spur economic growth and create jobs.

But such plans alarm those who not only warn of irreparable damage to the environment but blame Iceland’s ardent embrace of “Big Aluminum” for causing the country’s financial troubles in the first place, by igniting an unsustainable economic boom.

READING IN CENTRAL OREGON

Kindle, Amazon’s e-book reader, might not survive a throw to the ground. But a physical book isn’t always searchable.

A Nook, Barnes & Noble’s answer to the Kindle, generally costs more than a few dollars. But 10 printed books probably outweigh a Nook.

Books and e-book readers alike have both positive and negative attributes. As e-book sales continue to rise by the year, according to numbers from the Association of American Publishers, some people are becoming partial or full converts to the medium. In February, Powell’s Books in Portland announced lay-

offs for 31 employees across the company because of a drop in sales. New books sales dropped most.

“We see this as a clear indication that we are losing sales to electronic books and reading devices,” the company wrote in an memo sent to employees in an e-mail.

In Bend, a few independent bookstores posted slightly lower sales in the 2010 holiday season. Those stores’ owners have not ruled out the e-book factor.

Do e-books spell the end for independent bookstores around the country right this minute? Probably not. But if enough customers abandon books, stores selling traditional books could find e-books cutting into their profit margins, which could put the stores’ survival in jeopardy.

When renovating a home leads to a successful blog

EMPIRE, Nev. — This state is scarred with remnants of quests to unearth riches beneath the desert.

Scores of Nevada gold- and silver-mining camps boomed momentarily before the ore petered out and the prospectors scattered. Yet, about 100 miles north of Reno, on the edge of the Black Rock Desert Wilderness, the community of Empire worried little about the ephemeral nature of other mining towns.

Theirs had bustled along since the 1920s — when Empire was named for a brand of plaster — and building materials giant U.S. Gypsum Corporation had run things for more than half a century.

When Mike Norman was asked on his application in 2006 why he wanted a job here, he wrote: “To be able to work without fear of company closure; have been told this is a great company.”

Norman, now 57, and his wife, Barbara, 54, moved from Montana so he could work at USG, the sole reason for Empire’s survival. Employees would unearth gypsum at a nearby quarry and truck it to the large yellow plant with rust-colored smokestacks. There, assembly lines churned out plaster and drywall, key components in home construction.

Workers lived in the shadow of the whirring plant, and USG essentially served as mayor, police chief and landlord. Norman did a little bit of everything for the company, including tending to trash and sewers.

Before long, the Normans had woven themselves into the community, where almost everything sat on company land: the two churches, the nine-hole golf course, the store selling hot dogs and DVDs, the two-bedroom apartment that the couple rented for $125 a month. They planned to stay until Mike Norman retired.

They didn’t foresee the housing crash that would rip apart the American economy — and Empire along with it. There was, after all, still gypsum left to mine.

In the past weeks, they furnished and accessorized an empty guest room and adjoining bathroom, painted wooden ceiling beams in their living room, scored a pair of $35 vintage chairs for their home office, fashioned a bedside table using a thrift store luggage rack, replaced a ceiling fan in their master bedroom with a paper pendant lamp and de-cluttered their carport.

As the writers of Young House Love, an addictive home-improvement blog (www.younghouselove.com), the Petersiks chronicle the doit-yourself decorating “adventures (and misadventures)” in their Richmond, Va., home.

Membership has its privileges.

That was the lesson of the Haggler’s last two episodes, which offered a dumbfounded look at the high ratings awarded by the Better Business Bureau to companies that get a lot of complaints from their customers. But does a company really need to pay annual dues to the bureau — typically hundreds of dollars — to get the upside that comes with a high Better Business Bureau grade?

Apparently not.

And so, dear reader, we dive yet again into the peculiar, alternative universe that is the Better Business Bureau, where consumer complaints go to die — or at least become categorized as “administratively resolved,” which turns out to be roughly the same thing.

This time, a look at the bureau’s inexplicable tolerance for a company in Springfield, Mo., that for years has operated what is known as a “phoner toner” business — a telemarketing operation that sells ink cartridges for printers, often to people who say they didn’t place an order and at prices that far exceed market rates.

Building a community Empire was founded by Pacific Portland Cement Co. for the gypsum. When Chicago-based USG took over in the late 1940s, it continued the town’s singular focus. There were few other reasons to decamp off State Route 447, which skirts little more than brown peaks and bulbous tufa rocks on its path north of Interstate 80.

In time, there were enough households, here and in the neighboring blip of Gerlach, to fill a two-page phone directory. (The combined population grew to about 500 by 2,000, with the majority in Empire.) Locals survived partly on pluck. The Lions Club, for a time, provided ambulance service in a station wagon.

Viral videos with a hint of marketing

By Tanzina Vega New York Times News Service

Can a man with a tiny electronic device hack into the multitude of jumbo screens in Times Square and play videos from his iPhone? Maybe, if you believe a YouTube video that has been watched by more than half a million viewers in four days.

The video was posted on YouTube on a Monday under the user name BITcrash44. By Wednesday, it had generated more than 800,000 views and had been mentioned on websites like Gizmodo, Gothamist, Salon and NBC New York.

The multitudes who have seen the video have become swept up in an intense debate around one question: Is it real? Well, it’s a fake. And the reaction is exactly what James Percelay and Michael Krivicka wanted when they produced the video as part of a promotion for the film “Limitless,” currently out in theaters.

The two men, founders of a viral marketing company called Thinkmodo, are tapping into a growing desire among marketers to attract and keep the attention of online viewers with videos that get shared on social websites like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. The strategy for Thinkmodo is to make videos that viewers will think are clever and authentic without overtly pushing or mentioning a product, Percelay said.

“We’re pushing the engagement of an idea which leads you then to the product,” he said. “It just is a whole new mind-set where you don’t have to wrap everything up in a bow and if you don’t, people are going to be a lot more interested in you and what you’re selling and what your message is.”

The video, Percelay said, takes its cue from the premise of “Limitless,” in which a man is able to use all of his brain capacity with the help of a pill called NZT. The video shows a man in an orange jacket standing in Times Square explaining how a makeshift electronic “repeater” and “transmitter” connected to his iPhone can take over any video screen.

First, he tries the device on two small video screens on newspaper kiosks. All the while a cameraman is filming him as he holds the iPhone so viewers can see how the content being projected syncs with the content on the screen. The man then buys a big red balloon to which he attaches the device. When the balloon floats in front of a large video screen playing a trailer for “Limitless” on the corner of Broadway and 47th Street, the iPhone video suddenly begins playing on the screen instead.

“You are getting your message across, but it’s tangential; it’s not a direct frontal assault,” said Peter Adee, the president of worldwide marketing and distribution at Relativity Media, adding that the do-it-yourself look and feel of the video is also an important element. “You don’t have to make it perfect; if anything, that would hurt it. It has to feel organic. It has to feel original.”

Advertisers have been increasingly experimenting with viral videos. One of the most popular campaigns during the last year has been for Old Spice, featuring the actor Isaiah Mustafa.

Screen shot

Old Spice’s campaign, featuring the actor Isaiah Mustafa, is an example of successful viral video marketing.

Ed Davis wanted to have a word with his customers.

He was shepherding his small California manufacturing company, Ceilume, through a transition from a custom job shop to a maker of vinyl ceiling tiles, and he needed to begin selling directly to consumers. That raised a perception problem: Many people associate ceiling tiles with the ugly, dusty and stained mineral-fiber tiles that have loomed over offices for generations. Davis, Ceilume’s president, wanted to tell consumers that his company’s vinyl products were different. He decided to try online video.

Over the last several years, Ceilume has produced dozens of YouTube videos for product demonstrations, advertisements and how-to instruction. These videos are embedded in the company website or show up in results when customers search for keywords. As a result, Ceilume has reached tens of thousands of customers at a very low cost.

This guide to using online video focuses on YouTube, which is by far the dominant player with 2 billion views per day — but many of the principles also apply to the other hosting services, including Vimeo, MetaCafe, Facebook, Viddler, Brightcove and Blip.tv.

Show your products: According to Da-

the agency of record for Old Spice, created a series of videos that went viral last summer, in which Mustafa answered consumer questions in real time over the course of several days. The agency used social networking sites to get questions from users and posted the video responses on YouTube and other sites.

“You don’t need a production of 50 people. You can move the world with three,” said Joani Wardwell, the global public relations director for Wieden & Kennedy.

Krivicka, 34, is a freelance video producer and Percelay, 49, has a background in television production, including a former job as a line producer for “Saturday Night Live.” Neither has a traditional advertising background nor the accoutrements that come with a traditional agency.

The company embarked on its first official project in February, with a video featuring a helmet that could shave a person’s head. The video was shot using an iPhone in the bathroom of a nondescript Midtown Manhattan building on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Channels say cable firms need their OK to stream to iPads

By Brian Stelter New York Times News Service

Companies like Time Warner Cable and Cablevision buy the rights to beam channels to customers’ television sets. But do those rights extend to iPads?

That question has divided the television industry in recent weeks, ever since Time Warner Cable started streaming several dozen TV channels to customers’ iPads. Immediately, channel owners like Viacom and Scripps Networks seized on the streaming capability as a contract violation — in part because they want cable companies to pay them more for the privilege to stream.

Legal threats were made the week before last. The dispute came into public view Monday when

Time Warner Cable introduced a Web campaign that promoted “more freedom to watch on more screens” and asked, “Why do some TV networks want to take it away?”

The television industry is, in effect, joining book publishers in being unsettled by the iPad and the new era of tablets. There is little doubt that people will be watching more TV on tablets in the future. What is undetermined is whether people will be watching through an application provided by their cable company, an individual channel’s app, or through a paid service like Netflix.

Some channel owners say that companies like Time Warner Cable should be consulting with them more closely before introducing new products.

Cameraman Matthew Cady, Michael Krivicka, James Percelay and Rammuel Lavarro of Thinkmodo make a video for the film “Limitless” in New York’s Times Square on March 3. Videos with a “YouTube aesthetic” that go viral get to consumers in a way that old-fashioned direct advertising doesn’t.

How to market your company with online video

“Portability is a different business proposition,” said an executive at one of the major channel owners, suggesting that there should be a premium paid for the ability to take a TV show into bed or into the bathtub. The executive said Time Warner Cable should have “worked out the business issues” with channel owners before coming out with the app. The chief issue is counting the audience: Another executive said there had been a “stampede” of channel owners asking the Nielsen Company to include iPad streaming in its ratings of programs.

The channel executives spoke only on condition of anonymity because their parent companies have refused to comment on the dispute.

vis, more Ceilume customers place orders without requesting samples because video helps them find what they want. Ceilume produces its “Ask the Ceiling Tile Guy” videos for little expense with internal tech staff and Davis as narrator. The videos have attracted more than 500,000 views, and Davis says he believes that video has been a crucial factor in increasing sales 15 percent a year.

Build a brand channel: One way to get the attention of customers is invite them to become your video producers — especially if they jump off cliffs, ski down steep powder ridges or do somersaults on BMX bikes.

GoPro.com, a maker of small high-definition cameras that can be worn during adventure sports, has built a thriving YouTube presence with customer videos. YouTube allows businesses to establish channels, or a home page that lists videos, playlists and contact information. The GoPro channel features more than 100 videos — including surfing, skiing, motocross, auto sports and flight — which have been viewed more than 24 million times.

“It is the No. 1 most convenient way for us to validate our product to customers,” said Nick Woodman, founder and chief executive. He said business was growing 300 percent a year.

Advertise with video: YouTube is the

Blade that fits on a few fingers, was not overtly mentioned in the spot. But that didn’t stop the video from becoming a viral sensation — it was viewed more than 1 million times on YouTube in less than a week — and from duping viewers and a few television news anchors in the process.

The video garnered more than 500 broadcast mentions in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia and was posted on more than 1,000 websites and blogs, according to Percelay. HeadBlade sales surged 31 percent after the video was released, and the company’s Web traffic increased 49 percent as a result, he said.

Part of the strategy is also to tip off editors of target websites, buy keywords and website addresses and use social media to get the word out without being obvious. “It has to be finessed in a certain way,” Krivicka said. “A true viral should not need a lot of pushing.”

second-largest search engine after Google (which owns YouTube). It offers a dozen advertising options, including banner ads, promoted videos that appear on top and beside search results. Like Google, YouTube generally follows a cost-per-click or cost-per-view model so advertisers pay only when users click on ads or watch ad videos.

Ads can be aimed at customers based on demographics, keywords or interests.

For example, a person who searches for “ceiling tiles” might see a Ceilume video titled “make an ugly ceiling elegant” highlighted as a promoted video atop the YouTube page. Ceilume devotes about 10 percent of its advertising budget to YouTube.

Offer instruction: Online video makes it easy to follow the adage “Show, don’t tell.”

Aluminum

E-books

Continued from G1 If the expansion plans are approved — two new plants are under discussion — what was traditionally a nation of fishermen would be on its way to becoming one giant aluminum smelter in the North Atlantic, critics say.

“We’re going too fast in a short time,” said Andri Magnason, a writer and filmmaker who is highly critical of the industry. “We’re putting all our eggs in one basket.”

It’s a basket that has grown to remarkable size, compared with other parts of the economy, in the past decade.

Iceland’s oldest aluminum smelter was established 42 years ago, but up until 2000, aluminum never accounted for more than about 3 percent of gross domestic product, on average.

That changed when the government began aggressively courting metals companies and approved construction of two large plants. By 2008, Iceland was producing about 870,000 tons of aluminum a year, virtually all of it destined for buyers abroad.

That year, aluminum exports eclipsed fisheries exports in value for the first time in the island’s history.

The smelting companies import bauxite, the raw material for aluminum, from countries including the U.S., Ireland and Australia; bauxite is not mined in Iceland itself.

But smelting it here allows Iceland, with its many rivers, waterfalls, hot springs and volcanoes, to exploit its own natural resources by supplying the aluminum plants with hydropower and geothermal energy at competitive prices.

Otherwise, there would be no market for all the clean energy Iceland is capable of producing.

“We are based in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean.

We are not connected to the mainland Europe grid,” said Bjarni Mar Gylfason, chief economist for the Federation of Icelandic Industries. “So we export energy in the form of aluminum.”

Anti-aluminum activists also say the deal to build the eastern smelter, owned by Pittsburgh-based Alcoa Inc., helped trigger the financial spiral that led to Iceland’s undoing.

Critics say the deal put Iceland in the sights of foreign investors, who suddenly started pouring money into the island, a boom that lasted from 2003 to 2008. Awash in unprecedented amounts of cash, Icelandic banks started lending and investing heavily. Interest rates shot up as businesses and credit-happy residents took out loans for all sorts of purchases.

Housing prices soared; so did the value of the currency, the krona. The banks became so over-leveraged that their liabilities equaled 10 times the entire country’s GDP. When the global financial meltdown hit in late 2008, the Icelandic economy imploded.

Businesses collapsed, unable to pay back their loans; at one point, the stock market had lost 95 percent of its value from its height.

Others say it makes no sense to blame the Alcoa smelter deal for setting off the spiral.

“Of course it marked the beginning of an economic boom,” said Gylfason of the industries federation. But with global markets speculating madly everywhere at the time, “I’m sure that this economic crisis and this economic boom would’ve happened without the smelters being built.”

Now Iceland’s economy is starting to grow again, perhaps by a modest 2 percent this year, according to international forecasts. And Alcoa is pushing for permission to build another large smelter in the north.

Gylfi Zoega, an economist at the University of Iceland, said new investment in a major project could provide a shot of confidence without inflating expectations.

“The economy is in such a slump now that a boost would not create irrational exuberance,” Zoega said, though he warned against turning to the aluminum industry for “a quick fix.”

Environmental concerns have so far delayed a deal for Alcoa. Also, Iceland’s leftleaning government is far cooler toward the aluminum industry than its predecessor, which voters tossed out in anger over the country’s economic crash.

Continued from G1 Linda McGeary, co-owner of the used-book store The Bookmark on Greenwood Avenue in east Bend, saw a 3 or 4 percent drop in sales this past holiday season. Customers have told her they’ve bought e-book readers, at least partly because they allow users to turn any book they want into large-print format.

“But, you know, it’s all good,” she said. Books abound around the world, and they’re not going to just disappear unless, she said, the world’s books are all somehow burned — so her business should be safe for the foreseeable future.

Her husband, Duncan McGeary, who runs Pegasus Books of Bend located downtown on Minnesota Avenue, stocks new and used books in addition to cards and games. He said he does not believe e-books have taken away any of his sales. Because many of his customers tend to wander in and browse rather than go in to obtain a specific volume, they are still open to purchasing books in print. If they stop by, they’re unlikely to be hooked on e-books in the first place, he said.

Duncan McGeary admits to having strong feelings on the

Empire Continued from G1 Anna Marks, now 52, arrived in the 1960s when her father was transferred from a USG operation in California. The family rented a blue-roofed home the company had selected for them.

Marks’ dad was the plant’s quality supervisor. Her mom raised three kids and worked at the general store, which, when it opened, cut down on how often locals had to trek to “town” — meaning two hours to Reno — for groceries. When Marks was in 10th grade, in 1975, the family was uprooted again.

But she so enjoyed her childhood here that she returned as an adult. Then left again. And returned once more, to an apartment not far from the Normans’.

While Marks, her husband, Anthony, and their three children missed city conveniences, the cheap rent allowed them to sock away cash.

“I think living here screws you up about money. You’re used to living on so little,” said Marks’ 22-year-old daughter, Monica.

There were other advantages to living in a place where directions involve first names (“Turn right at Anna’s house”). Keeping teenagers in line was a cinch.

When one of Marks’ sons was revving his father’s Camaro outside the store, someone immediately ratted him out. The town manager could kick out families who failed to hold their liquor or their tempers.

Marks intended to stay put until she retired from the plant.

‘We’re shutting down’ A decade ago, hurt by multimillion-dollar asbestos claims, USG filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It emerged in 2006, its sales booming, just before the real estate market began to collapse. “There are just too many homes,” said USG spokesman Robert Williams. “The whole country overbuilt.”

In 2010, USG announced the permanent closure of five facilities nationwide, including one in South Gate.

It was early December in Empire, and quarry manager Steve Conley had a rotten feeling about the upcoming company meeting.

The housing crisis had continued to shred USG’s profitability. Sales had plummeted from $5.8 billion to $2.9 billion in four years.

The recession pummeled Nevada harder than most states.

Not much need for drywall when two-thirds of homeowners were underwater on their mortgages, and entire neighborhoods were deserted. Operations here had recently been trimmed to a few days a week.

Conley, 58, grew up in Empire and married his wife, Judy, at local St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church. They live in Gerlach, across from his parents, in a home with a fireplace mantel he carved from the leftovers of a wooden tram that ferried gypsum. He’d worked for USG for 40 years.

Something bad was brewing,

book vs. e-book debate. He suspects the demand for e-books and their readers is smaller than people think it is. He himself feels no urge to curl up with a slim device stocked with a bunch of books.

“To me, an e-book has no soul; it has no funk,” he said.

Besides, he added, you can only read one book at a time — it doesn’t make a difference to him if he can save space and weight with an e-book reader.

Hayley Wright, owner of Between the Covers, a bookstore on Northwest Delaware Avenue in Bend selling new and

used books, has heard a few of her customers say they or their relatives have jumped on the ebook reader bandwagon. Two years from now, she said, businesses such as hers could feel the e-book effect in a bigger way.

If still more people turn to e-books, she said, profit margins at bookstores could fall to a level where she might not be able to run hers in its current state.

“I just can’t sit here and expect that it’s not going to have an effect,” Wright said.

Small wonder she has been thinking up ways to e-bookproof her business. Perhaps she

will add a coffee shop or start serving beer and wine at the bookstore, she said. Or maybe she will begin to stock art supplies in addition to books. “I’m not saying that’ll happen, but I’m considering all kinds of things,” she said. Introducing sidelines into her business — diversifying it, in a sense — could make her less prone to falling paper-book sales, she said.

Another possibility for bookstores is to establish a storefront for e-books online, perhaps through Google eBooks. But such a project can take substantial capital, said Tina Davis,

co-workers told him. The plant was decades older than most USG facilities and couldn’t spit out drywall as quickly. It had purred along partly on orders for oddly sized wallboard, which had fallen off with the recession.

Conley expected more cuts to hours or pay.

Conley had an uneasy feeling the day he shuffled into the town’s community center for the company meeting. Mike Norman was there. Anna Marks, too.

They braced for some kind of announcement. The plant manager stood up.

We’re shutting down.

Silence.

The next half-hour was a blur of explanations. How production would halt that month, how the plant would go dark the next.

How families could linger until the school year’s end, in June.

How the company hoped the plant was just being idled and not closed.

The meeting broke up, and Norman rushed home to his wife, who heaved with sobs.

Marks tried to swallow her grief. Because her husband worked elsewhere, he was one of the few people in town still employed.

By the time Conley spoke to his wife, she’d already heard the news. An administrative secretary at the local school, she’d been enjoying a day off when her substitute called: The students had found out and were inconsolable.

Empire was one of two sites the company idled. The Conleys, probably like many employees, felt conflicted. USG helped them put two children through college.

But Judy, 57, still felt betrayed. “It almost does feel like somebody forgot us and forgot about Empire,” she said.

During the quarry’s final weeks, Conley struggled to go to work. He and his crew barricaded the quarry, rid it of chemicals, posted no-trespassing signs. The plant where Marks had worked was stripped down and welded shut.

The plant’s lights had once illuminated Empire. Now drivers passed by a clutch of inky husks.

Conley decided to retire, while Judy hoped to hold on to her job at the red-roofed school complex in Gerlach. The campus started the fall with 82 students. Maybe 10 would remain. Departing students panicked about heading to bigger cities and classrooms.

They begged to buy their crosscountry and volleyball uniforms as keepsakes.

For weeks after the plant closed, Judy wouldn’t drive through Empire. It stung too much. Five years from retiring herself, she isn’t sure what she’ll do if the campus is whittled

down to one room, which district officials are considering. She and her husband have no desire to move.

Third Street, where the Normans live, started to resemble the ghostly cul-de-sacs elsewhere in Nevada and California, where much of the plant’s products had been shipped. By late February, apartments were stripped of furniture and curtains, lawns cluttered with discarded love seats.

Winter’s chill had browned the golf course and denuded the trees.

Barbara Norman wanted to rake the yard one day, but her husband stopped her. “What’s the point?” he said.

Every day, Empire crumbles a little more. When Barbara walks their black cocker spaniel, Crumpet, he bolts to the same house and barks. No response.

The Normans’ friends, and their dog, have moved.

“People are just disappearing around me,” Barbara said.

owner of the new and used book shop Camalli Book Co., off Century Drive in southwest Bend.

For Davis, the kind of money it would take to assemble an ebook shop online could be used in better ways, at least for now.

But she said she did see a slight dip in sales during the 2010 holiday shopping season, just as Linda McGeary did. The decrease, she said, had “more to do with (e-book readers) than the economy.” She, too, has heard customers say they’ve bought the devices.

“They’re kind of sheepish about it when they come into an independent bookstore,” she said. “They want to support the independent bookstores, but there’s also this techno fascination that people have.”

If e-books become more popular, she said, she would expand the sections of her bookstore that might be less prone to widespread adoption in the digital format, such as cookbooks, craft books and children’s books.

And as for her own preferences?

“I have no interest in reading a book on an electronic device,” she said.

Jordan Novet can be reached at 541-633-2117 or at jnovet@bendbulletin.com.

That’s true. In the end, Empire’s population will likely shrink to the three people who don’t live in company-owned housing: a couple who built a brick home near the village, and a woman who works and lives at the store.

Barbara tears up watching her home shrivel into yet another ghost town while Mike looks for work.

His best prospect is a job at one of Nevada’s thriving gold mines.

Bloggers Continued from G1 Advertising on the 3½-year-old blog, and other editorial work, now generates enough income to support the entire Petersik family, which includes 10-month-old Clara and a feisty Chihuahua named Burger.

Since the start of Young House Love, John, 29, and Sherry, 28, have renovated their first home inside and out. Now they’re on to house No. 2 and are starting again, blogging about every wall they paint, nail they hammer and deal they find.

“We’re keeping a diary and sharing our life,” said Sherry.

“It’s rewarding to get support for that. And it’s rewarding to know our little old diary is encouraging others to make their homes something they’re proud of, too.”

Their “little old diary” gets more than 3.5 million page views per month. Each post routinely garners about 250 reader comments. At a recent count, the blog had more than 20,000 followers on Facebook and nearly 10,000 on Twitter.

The blog’s popularity has led the Petersiks to a book deal.

They recently signed with Artisan/Workman to write a homerelated book that is supposed to hit shelves in 2012.

Like many homeowners, the Petersiks are learning as they go.

So what makes the masses clamor for their input and advice?

“First of all, they’re adorable,” said talk show host and designer Nate Berkus. In the fall, the Petersiks appeared on “The Nate Berkus Show” as DIY experts and judges for a design challenge.

“Their delivery is particularly charming and endearing, and their information is delivered in a smart way,” Berkus said. “I think Young House Love could easily transition into a TV program.”

How they started John and Sherry met in New York after college while working at the same advertising agency.

But the more affordable lifestyle and the fact that John had grown

BBB Continued from G1 Dataline Technologies, which does not pay for Better Business Bureau accreditation, has been providing the phoner-toner experience to people across the country for years. Actually, Dataline is just one of many names used by this outfit. It has also operated as High Performance Laser Works, Laser Works, Microtek Solutions, MTek, DynaTek, Intratek and, for all we know, other names, too. All of these companies were run from the same address, sold the same product and were owned or managed by the same guy: Richard Morsovillo.

What we know about Morsovillo is that by now he should be in a different line of work. In 2000, he signed an assurance of voluntary compliance — essentially an “I promise I won’t do that” — with the attorney general of Missouri. (At the time, Morsovillo was doing business as High Performance Laser Works, HP Laser Works and Dataline, according to the document.)

By signing the assurance, Morsovillo vowed, among other things, “not to ship computer/ printer supplies to persons or businesses who have not ordered said supplies.” He also paid $5,000 to the state for the cost of the investigation, and he denied any wrongdoing.

Attempts to contact Morsovillo failed miserably. He did

up in Fairfax County, Va., among other reasons, led them to Richmond. They bought a 1,300square-foot brick ranch that was “really inexpensive, really small and in terrible shape,” said Sherry, and got married.

Despite having zero home-improvement experience, they decided to renovate their kitchen.

John suggested they blog about

it. “I thought the kitchen would be a stressful project and a blog would help blow off steam,” he said.

When they won the grand prize ($5,000) for the “best homeimprovement blog” in a contest only months after publishing their first post, they knew they were on to something.

A large part of the blog’s ap-

peal is that the Petersiks are so darn likable. They’re the kind of people you meet and instantly want to invite to your next dinner party.

not return e-mails or calls. But the Haggler heard from J.R. Hobbs, a lawyer in Kansas City, Mo., who represents Morsovillo.

Hobbs stated that he had been retained roughly two years ago in response to an inquiry by federal postal inspectors, adding that he had been working with Morsovillo to ensure that his various companies were in full compliance of state and federal consumer law.

which seems to be one of Morsovillo’s company names of choice these days. So how loud are the alarms sounded by the venerable watchdog organization about Morsovillo and his assorted enterprises? Not loud.

Inaudible, actually. Dataline has an A-plus rating. DynaTek has a B-plus.

How is this possible, you may wonder? Judy Mills, president of southwestern Missouri office of the Better Business Bureau, said that it was all about the response of the company to each individual complaint. “These companies have a 25 percent restocking fee,” she said, “but in most cases the BBB has convinced them to take back the merchandise without charging that fee. When that happens, we feel we have resolved the complaint.”

Which gets to what is so absurdly blinkered about the bureau’s approach to grades. It is true that many, though not all, of Morsovillo’s customers get their

money back and are not charged a restocking fee. It’s also true that every complaint is painstakingly rebutted on the bureau’s site by someone in Morsovillo’s employ — it might be the man himself — giving the impression that the customer might be in the wrong and that, at a minimum, the company cares enough to argue its case in good faith.

But a pattern of abuse seems clear. And as the Haggler dug around a bit, with an assist from Mills, it appeared as though Morsovillo retired corporate names when they accumulated too many complaints with the Better Business Bureau, and replaced them with new ones. So goodbye High Performance, which hasn’t been complained about since 2009 and had an F grade. And hello Intratek, which first popped up in the Better Business Bureau’s system on January 2010.

In short, Morsovillo seems to be playing the Better Business Bureau and doing so free

The complaints Did Morsovillo keep his promise to the state attorney general?

On the website of the Better Business Bureau, dozens of people have written in with stories about different iterations of his companies, and each of these postings is furious enough for Technicolor. Many sales tactics are described. One favorite, according to postings: A rep from one of the companies calls an office and, with casual authority, says something like, “The IT department asked me to get the make and model of your printer” — and with that information in hand, and after a bit of confusing patter, a shipment of vastly overpriced product is sent.

One unhappy customer wrote on the site: “Company charging a 25 percent restocking, plus shipping and handling, on return items, without first informing the customer of the potential charge.”

There are nine all-but-identical complaints about DynaTek,

Focus on front end to find why Galant gets the shakes

By Paul Brand Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Q:

Hyundai via The Washington Post

The 2011 Hyundai Elantra Limited PZEV ranks as a standout entry in the growing market for small, fuel-efficient automobiles.

Hyundai’s 2011 Elantra puts its game face on

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

Appearance matters.

It bespeaks attitude. When it comes to cars, it tells us what a manufacturer thinks about the intended consumers of its products.

That is why the 2011 Hyundai Elantra Limited PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) ranks as a standout entry in the growing market R E V I E W for small, fuel-efficient automobiles.

Its designers honored the Asian notion of “face,” which speaks to dignity and pride.

Check it out. This is no ordinary box-on-wheels fuel-sipper.

It is, instead, gifted with elegant lines exterior and interior. It’s muscular, yet its refined side panels are highlighted by a gentle ridge that flows up, down and around the car’s rear quarters, giving it the appearance of liquid motion.

The Elantra’s front end is sculpted with the care of a Lamborghini. It has all of the appearance of an exotic, much more expensive automobile.

Yet it has none of the persona of cheap jewelry or fake Rolex watches sold on the streets of Seoul in South Korea or Shanghai in China. What is there is real, intended, carefully fitted and exceptionally well-executed.

More delight is found inside, where many car companies often go overboard in their attempt to conceal the humble origins of what is being offered.

But in the new Elantra, there is thoughtfulness and harmo-

2011 Hyundai Elantra Limited PZEV Base price: $19,980 As tested: $22,830, including $2,130 in options (onboard navigation, backup camera, premium sound system, iPod and other infotainment connectivity) and a destination fee.

Type: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive, compact economy car of unitized body construction. It has four side doors and a traditional notchback trunk.

Engine: It comes standard with a 1.8-liter, double-overhead cam, 16-valve engine with variable valve lift and timing for improved fuel economy (145 horsepower, 130 foot-pounds of torque). The engine is linked to a six-speed transmission that can be operated automatically or manually.

Mileage: 29 mpg city, 40 mpg highway. ny. The elegant yet strong and flowing lines of the car’s body also find comfortable residence in its cabin.

Even the buttons for power windows and door locks are carefully sculpted, fitting nicely to fingertips for easy access and operation.

Dashboard-mounted air vents twin with those in interior door panels. An optional 7-inch navigation screen with high-definition backup camera crowns a center console that flows effortlessly from the dashboard to the floor between the seats for driver and front passenger. Ergonomics rule. All controls are easy to see, reach and use.

I have read complaints elsewhere that the new Elantra’s cabin materials are less than premium. That strikes me as silly griping — slamming what is excellent in homage to more costly perfection.

This is, after all, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra — an economy car with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $14,830 for the base GLS, $17,080 for the mid-line GLS PZEV, and

$19,980 for the top-of-the-line Limited PZEV. That’s not exactly luxury strata pricing.

Yet, for that money, Hyundai offers an Elantra loaded with more standard equipment than most rival automobiles in the compact economy segment. In fact, the Elantra Limited PZEV is better-equipped than many larger sedans in more expensive segments. The Limited PZEV’s standard equipment, for example, includes front and rear heated seats, front side and full rear curtain head air bags, four-wheel disc brakes (ventilated front/solid rear), and electronic stability and traction control.

On top of that is a Hyundai new-vehicle warranty that beats guarantees offered by nearly all other car companies — five years or 60,000 miles overall coverage, 10 years or 100,000 miles coverage on the engine and transmission, seven years and unlimited miles antiperforation rust warranty, and five years with unlimited miles Hyundai roadside assistance.

It all makes the 2011 Elantra

an ideal choice for first-time car buyers or for parents buying cars for children going to college.

How does the new Elantra drive? The answer is “sensibly.”

It is a small, front-wheel-drive car with a standard 1.8-liter, 16valve, inline four-cylinder, gasoline engine (145 horsepower, 130 foot-pounds of torque). It’s fast enough to get you a speeding ticket on any regulated roadway, and it’s nimble and agile enough to competently maneuver through traffic jams in big cities.

But, in addition to its good looks and long list of standard equipment, what I also like about the new Elantra are its generous cabin space and its stingy fuel economy.

Five adults can find genuinely comfortable seating in this one on long road trips seldom interrupted by the need to stop at filling stations. The new Elantra does indeed deliver 29 miles per gallon in the city and 40 miles per gallon on the highway. I like this one.

Bottom line Hyundai has a winner here.

It also has a message for rivals foreign and domestic, economy and luxury: It is long past time to stop scamming consumers with unnecessarily long lists of options. If Hyundai can deliver a fully loaded car, replete with onboard navigation and backup camera, for a bit more than $22,000, there is no reason why rival companies can’t do the same for $30,000, $50,000 or $93,000.

I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant with about 140,000 miles on it. While my nephew was driving at normal highway speed about a month ago, the steering wheel started shaking violently. He stopped the car but could find nothing wrong. When he started driving again, the shaking had disappeared.

Three weeks later, my son drove it from central Wisconsin to Minneapolis. When he slowed for the exit ramp, the steering wheel again started shaking violently and the car pulled to the left. The shaking lasted about two minutes and then everything went back to normal.

Our trusted mechanic checked everything and drove it more than 140 miles but could find nothing wrong. A tire shop discovered the front wheels were bent. We bought two new wheels, put the new wheels on the back with the old tires and put the rear wheels on the front with new tires.

This morning, two hours into a long drive, the car started shaking. They drove it about two miles and then exited, filled up with gas and drove away — again all is well. Something is wrong, and we are not even sure what to look for.

Because the shaking is felt in the steering wheel rather than the seat, focus on the front suspension and steering. Common causes for serious front-end vibrations are worn components, bent or damaged parts, tired shocks or struts, damaged tires, worn brake rotors — or a combination of any or all of the above. My Alldata automotive database pulled up a Mitsubishi technical service bulletin, TSB-00-33A-001 dated November 2000, that addresses steering wheel shimmy at road speed. It suggests replacing the front lower control arms. Wear in the lower ball joint or control arm bushings can allow undampened vibrations like you describe, as can wear or play in the upper strut bearing assembly.

Mitsubishi issued recall SR00-004REV to inspect for a loose pinion shaft lock nut on the steering gear, which could create a vibration or very stiff steering.

I’d suggest having the ve-

A:

hicle checked carefully by a competent auto-body shop or front-end specialist. There has to be excess wear somewhere in the front suspension or steering gear, or the rotors are worn enough that the brake pads do not always seat against the rotor surface properly.

I have a 2004 Mercury Marquis. The left rear axle seal blew out at 40,000 miles. It was replaced under warranty. At 80,000, it went again. This time, the cost was $600. Now, 30,000 miles later, it failed again. A double-lip rear seal was installed by the dealer.

But now it’s happened again.

What gives?

This time, replace the entire axle assembly — axle, bearing and seal. Possible causes for repeated axle failure are a bent axle housing, bent axle shaft, worn axle bearing or a groove in the axle shaft where the seal lip rides.

When I take my car in for service, the garage typically does a safety check and reports the amount of brake pad remaining. At what thickness or percentage of pad remaining would you recommend that I have the pads replaced? Does it matter what kind of vehicle I drive — or do brake pads increase in area, but not in thickness, the bigger the vehicle?

Brake pads can be larger in contact surface and thicker as well, depending on the weight and performance of the vehicle. Since the thickness is directly proportional to the pad’s ability to dissipate heat, I tend to replace pads or shoes worn down to the last 10 to 20 percent of their original thickness. If the brake rotors/ drums are still in good shape — no serious wear/run-out/outof-round — I just lightly scuff the surfaces with a sanding disc and install new friction material.

Just like tires, better safe than sorry.

Show choir, which dates back to the ’60s, has become such a phenomenon that fans are taking a cue from the TV series and putting on a national show-choir championship called Finale. This weekend, 2,200 high schoolers from around the country will descend on New York City to compete for the trophy (and a $10,000 cash prize). The Finale creators say the contest is only one part of the weekend, though. “It’s all about the experience,” says spokesperson Jaison Manns.

Q: My husband recently left me after a long marriage. When I bump into casual acquaintances, they’ll often say, “Give my best to Harry,” and I don’t know how to reply. It seems dishonest to say, “Sure,” but it also seems like TMI to explain what happened. Advice?

—Sonya L., Cedar Rapids, Iowa

A: Tell the truth, but instead of TMI, give JEI ( Just Enough Information): You and your husband have split up, and, yes, it’s terrible, but you’re okay. You can then decide—depending on the person—how much you want to talk about it and when.

You don’t have to be false, but you don’t have to become Camille Grammer of The Real Housewives, either. Leave the rumor and innuendo to others.

Particularly if you have children, you should always speak well of your soon-to-be ex, no matter what happens. When in doubt, try to channel Elin Nordegren, Tiger Woods’s ex—just smile and shut up.

Getting into that program and getting funding to cover it are essential for all but the wealthiest families.

FACING THE WORLD

Dana Eisman at 4, the age at which she was diagnosed with autism.

Her parents started worrying when she was delayed in crawling and then walking.

Who will take care of these kids?

Though legislation to benefit families with adult autistic children is inching its way through Congress, parents are taking matters into their own hands. For some families in New Jersey, which has one of the nation’s highest autism rates, that may mean moving to a state where there’s good coverage and less competition for services. Other parents are calling local businesses to craft makeshift job programs—or even pooling their resources to buy property and hire support staff to create assisted-living situations for groups of autistic adults.

Larry Lam formed the Post-21 Club of Bergen County, N.J., to help families like his find appropriate programs and workshops for their adult children and to raise funds for those facing shortfalls. Outside Austin, Dan E. Burns is soliciting charitable donations for the Autism Trust USA, a nonprofit he cofounded

compared with the $222,360 it typically takes to raise a child to age 18.

Fortunately, Beth and Rob have been told they have a good chance of receiving state funds—the severity of a disability is a major factor, and Dana is considered more impaired than most.

to. “The burden of responsibility shifts after they age out of the system; once they’re adults, they must ask their employers or vocational programs for such services,” says Ari Ne’eman, a presidential appointee to the National Council on Disability. Ne’eman himself has Asperger’s, a form of autism. “Many of them have not been taught the skills to do that.”

to build a campus for autistic adults, with vocational programs and small businesses run by residents. In Phoenix, Denise Resnik, the mother of 19-year-old Matthew, cofounded the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC).

Two years ago, it started a Vocational & Life Skills Academy to train adults in fields like gardening and cooking, with the goal of helping them start their own businesses. SARRC is now planning a residence, too. “It’s important that someone take care of our adult children when we’re no longer able,” Resnik says.

The Eismans’ older daughter, Melanie, who is 22 and in graduate school, has said that she’ll always be there for her sister, but Rob and Beth do not want to force that responsibility on her.

Since Dana was 6, she’s been on the waiting list of the Jewish Foundation for Group Homes, a nonsectarian agency that offers staff-supported housing for small groups of disabled adults. However, it can cost more than $70,000 a year, and the limited state funding goes to those with the most urgent needs, like a 50-yearold autistic man whose 75-year-old mother is critically ill.

This year, Dana had dinner at a Jewish Foundation home while her parents hung out in the living room. Beth describes it as “cozy and welcoming.” When asked her opinion, Dana typed out that she liked the girls she’d met but felt scared, too.

“If I go away to a program,” she typed on another occasion, “can I come back if I don’t like it?”

A growing population of autistic adults These issues are not going away, because the number of autistic adults will only continue to increase: Today, one in 110 children (and one in 70 boys) born in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism, and the numbers have been rising 10% to 17% a year. Advocates say that the needs of this population must be addressed by the private and public sectors, such as by building appropriate housing, creating tax-free savings accounts for parents to use for their adult children’s care, or providing government incentives to companies that hire autistic employees.

“They’re hard workers, have excellent attitudes, and don’t mind repetitive work,” says former NBC president and CEO Bob Wright, who founded the nonprofit Autism Speaks after his grandson’s diagnosis. “If I were a business owner, I’d say, ‘Bring them on.’ ” In Potomac, Dana and Beth sit together every night at the antique white desk in Dana’s bedroom. Typing sentences to each other on the computer, they discuss everything: their horoscopes, school, something they saw in the news. As the Eismans anxiously wait for their version of the golden ticket—the funding letter from the state disabilities agency—Beth asks Dana: What do you want to do next year? What is your dream? “A good job,” Dana carefully types, calling out each letter as she presses the key. “I want to be safe and happy.”

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones become thin and weak, increasing the chance of having a broken bone.

Osteoporosis usually causes no symptoms until a fracture happens. The most common fractures are in the spine (backbone). They can shorten height, even without causing pain. Over time, the spine can become curved or deformed and the body bent over. Fractures from osteoporosis can also happen in almost any bone in the body, for example: the wrist, rib, or hip. Once you have had a fracture, the chance for more fractures greatly increases.

The following risk factors increase your chance of getting fractures from osteoporosis: • Past broken bones from osteoporosis • Very low bone mineral density (BMD) • Frequent falls • Limited movement, such as using a wheelchair • Medical conditions likely to cause bone loss, such as some kinds of arthritis • Taking steroid medicines called glucocorticoids, such as prednisone • Other medicines that may cause bone loss, for example: seizure medicines (such as phenytoin), blood thinners (such as heparin), high doses of vitamin A What can I do to treat osteoporosis?

There are many steps you can take to treat osteoporosis.

Taking Prolia, along with calcium and vitamin D, may be one option for you.

for austin rivers, career day at school was always a little bit different. Other students had to explain what their parents did for a living, but not Austin. For as long as he can remember, his dad, Doc Rivers, has been a head coach in the NBA (since 2004 with the Boston Celtics and before that with the Orlando Magic).

“It seemed like my dad was always a thousand miles away, coaching,” says Austin, 18, PARADE’s 2011 Player of the Year. “I’ve been on more planes than I can count.”

But back home in Florida, Austin, a point guard at Winter Park High School near Orlando, was making his own mark on the court. He had a big senior year, scoring a season-high 46 points against Florida’s Montverde Academy and 38 points against highly ranked St. Patrick (Elizabeth, N.J.). And last month, Winter Park won the state championship for the second year in a row.

By topping PARADE’s list of 40 seniors from 22 states (compiled in association with Sporting News), Austin edged out several other players who had big senior seasons, including Bradley Beal (committed to Florida next year), Anthony Davis (Kentucky), Chase Fischer (Wake Forest), and Wayne April 3, 2011 • 17

We believe that when you say something, people should be able to believe it.

So when we say our burgers are 100% USDA inspected beef, it’s because they are.

And when we say a person can start out on a restaurant crew and end up owning their own restaurant, it’s because more than 50% of our franchisees did it that way.

So did more than 75% of our restaurant managers and many who work in our corporate offices.

And when we say we’re committed to diversity in hiring, what we actually mean is that we’re an industry leader, from our restaurants to our supplier networks to our owners.

To be the best company we can, we have to create the best opportunities.

And we’d like to believe that some of the best ones around, are right here.

Ground spices: 6 months Grinding increases spices’ exposure to oxygen, which breaks down healthful antioxidants and causes the flavor to fade. If tossing the expensive jars makes you cringe, consider buying whole spices and preparing them as needed in a coffee grinder—doing so can extend their shelf life up to two years.

Like whole-wheat flour, walnuts and pecans are top sources of healthful fats that turn rancid quickly. In a 2009 study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences & Nutrition, British researchers discovered that one brand of walnut oil had an actual shelf life 20 times shorter than the “best before” date printed on the label.
