REDMOND SCHOOL DISTRICT

Teachers back plan to eliminate school days, keep salary

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

Earlier this week, the Redmond School District proposed a budget that would decrease pay for all staff and eliminate teaching positions in hopes of avoiding school day cuts for the 2011-12 school year. On Wednesday, 85 percent of Redmond teachers supported a counterproposal that would eliminate five school days next year and preserve some salary increases.

Redmond Education Association President Judy Newman said the teachers’ union is offering to defer its cost-of-living increase for the 2011-12 school year and proposing to cut five noninstructional days and five instructional days from next year’s calendar. The district’s proposal, by contrast, seeks to avoid additional cuts to the school year.

The district will operate on a roughly $50 million budget next year, leaving it with an $8 million shortfall.

Under its plan, the district would like to trim about $8.2 million by cutting 28 teaching positions and eliminating scheduled step salary raises and costof-living increases for teachers.

The district also would like every district employee to take a 3.7 percent salary cut.

“We are not considering that at this time,” Newman said of the 3.7 percent salary cut and the elimination of step raises for the 2011-12 school year. “We’ll continue to work with the district to help them out with their budget deficit, but at this time this is what we’re willing to offer.”

Because several of the proposed cuts require changes to union contracts, the district must negotiate with the unions, including the Redmond Education Association.

More positions eliminated; utility rates to increase

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

The city of Bend unveiled a twoyear budget Wednesday that includes a shrinking staff, smaller general fund and a number of major infrastructure undertakings that will ensure continued hikes

positions the city eliminated since fiscal year 2007-2008.

The total city budget for 2011-2013 is $428.7 million. Of that, $76 million is in the general fund, where the council has the most discretion when deciding spending priorities. That $76 million is roughly $1.2 million less than the previous biennium.

Snowpack, La Niña will dampen flare-ups

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Fire season could start a month or so later than normal this year because of lingering snow in the mountains and cool spring weather, according to predictions from the interagency Northwest Coordination Center in Portland.

While small wildfires might typically spark up in June, they’re not usually the ones that make headlines, said Jason Loomis, regional fire management analyst with the coordination center, which takes a monthly look at fire potential. Bigger blazes, which tend to involve thousands of acres, usually start around the Fourth of July.

But this summer, the problem wildfire season could be pushed into August, he said.

The La Niña weather system caused an unusually cool and wet spring across the northwest, he said, and forecasters expect that to continue for a while before conditions return to normal in July and August.

As a result, the period during which conditions are favorable for large fires will be relatively brief. Wildfire conditions usually begin to ease in September, when the days grow shorter.

La Niña years typically bring fewer lightning strikes, Loomis said, which would mean fewer fire starts.

“The large outbreak of lightning events will occur, but they’ll just be less frequent,” he said.

So fire officials are predicting an average, or even quieter-than-average fire season this year, he said.

But some wildfires will occur nonetheless, and their severity can sometimes surprise officials. The 2010 Rooster Rock Fire, which burned thousands of acres near Sisters, took off when the weather wasn’t critically hot and dry, and there were plenty of firefighters and resources available to tackle it.

“It just did a little more than what we suspected,” Loomis said.

But the last several years have been fairly quiet for firefighters in Central Oregon.

“Like many other communities, the city has been confronted with serious

“In response, the City Council has taken proactive steps to limit new funding requests and reduce expenditures.”

Sharp cuts in Bend’s new budget

An artist’s conception of Gravity Probe B orbiting Earth to measure space-time.

The project has confirmed some of the weirdest predictions of Einstein’s theory of relativity, researchers said Wednesday.

In a tour de force of technology and just plain stubbornness spanning half a century and more than $750 million, a team of experimenters from Stanford University reported Wednesday that a set of orbiting gyroscopes had detected a slight sag and an even slighter twist in space-time.

The finding confirms some of the weirdest of the many strange predictions — ranging from black holes to the expanding universe — of Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity.

“We have completed this landmark experiment of testing Einstein’s universe,” Francis Everitt, leader of the project, known as Gravity Probe B, said. “And Einstein survives.”

That was hardly a surprise. Observations of planets, the moon and particularly the shifting orbits of the Lageos research satellites had already convinced astronomers and physicists that Einstein’s predictions were on the mark. Nevertheless, scientists said that the Gravity Probe results would live forever in textbooks as the most direct measurements, and that it was important to keep testing theories that are thought to be correct.

Clifford Will of Washington University in St. Louis, who was not part of the team but was chairman of NASA advisory committee evaluating its work, and who wrote a book titled “Was Einstein Right?,” said that in science, “no such book is ever closed.”

Homeless children find refuge at Florida school

By Michael Winerip New York Times News Service

ORLANDO, Fla. — The bus ride from the homeless shelter to Fern Creek Elementary School was, as usual, raucous. A hundred times, Doretha Brown, the bus driver, had to yell for everyone to sit down. “This noise is what holds us up every morning and evening,” Brown shouted, although the Collins girls — Brianna, 8; Tamara, 7; and Sydney, 6 — could barely hear her above the din.

A first grader and a second grader got into a fight on the 15minute ride, and someone else threw up. Brianna, Tamara and Sydney paid no mind. As their father, James Collins, says, “To get by at a shelter, you have to focus yourself.”

This is the sisters’ second stay at a shelter, so they are becoming accustomed to being homeless.

Roxanne Schreffler, a kindergarten teacher, was struck by Sydney’s arrival at Fern Creek in February. “She walked into kindergarten in the middle of the day and sat right down,” Schreffler said. “She’d immediately adapted to her new situation. There was no time integrating her into the class; she was ready to go.”

Twenty percent of Fern Creek’s students are homeless, and school is the best part of the day for many of them. All eight members of the Collins family — Brianna is the oldest of six children — live in a 13-foot-by-15foot windowless room and share three bunk beds. It is a great relief getting out in the morning and off to school.

“They love Fern Creek,” said their father, who lost his job hanging drywall after the economy collapsed. “I can’t say nothing bad about Fern Creek.”

They have a lot of school friends, said the children’s mother, Felica Blue, who lost her job working the 11 p.m.-to-4 a.m. shift cleaning the arena after the Orlando Magic’s basketball games.

Brianna’s always talking about kids from her class,” she said.

Schreffler is struck by how happy Sydney is despite her circumstances. “She’s so grateful. It seems like everything is, ‘Thank you, Ms. Schreffler,’” she said.

The girls were particularly excited on the day of the school’s annual literacy night and book fair. Every month, Patrick Galatowitsch, the principal, dedicates a “night” for learning — math, science, the arts, music — but this was the first for Blue and her girls. Galatowitsch sends a bus to the shelter to pick up the families, and the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida, which runs the shelter, keeps their dinners warm until they get back.

Collins gave the three girls all his spare change to spend at the

On Thursday, the day that the Dow hit its highest level in nearly three years after a flurry of positive earnings reports, 256 of the 751 at the coalition’s shelter were children. There are 2,953 homeless students attending Orange County Public Schools, up from 1,463 in 2008, before the economic collapse.

Nationally, the number of homeless students at public schools reached an all-time high after the recession hit. In the 2008-9 school year, there were 954,914 homeless students, compared with 679,724 in 2006-7, according to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Education.

Homeless children fare significantly worse in school than other poor children. In Virginia, 21.2 percent of students who are homeless at some point during their high school years drop out, compared with 14.8 percent of all poor children, according to data collected by the state’s Department of Education says. In Colorado, the high school graduation rate is 72 percent for all students, 59 percent for poor students and 48 percent for homeless students, according to data from the state’s education website.

At Fern Creek, where 85 percent of the students qualify for subsidized lunches, about one-

third of the 59 homeless students, including Brianna, have been held back a grade.

Galatowitsch says there are several reasons for the school’s success: • Class size. Florida voters have twice approved mandatory class-size limits, despite strong opposition from one of the most prominent members of the socalled school-reform movement, former Gov. Jeb Bush. The three Collins girls’ classes have 18 students each.

• Talented, experienced teachers. Brianna’s teacher, Rebecca Farmer, is a 14-year veteran.

Shannon Preshong, who teaches Tamara, has 19 years of experience, and Schreffler has spent 30 years in the classroom.

• Firm yet caring discipline.

Even before students bound off that rollicking school bus, Shanita Highland, the dean of students, bounds on. There is immediate silence. “You’re supposed to have your shirt tucked in,” whispered Justin Hernandez, a fifth grader who quickly stuffed his into his pants. “No one likes getting on Mrs. Highland’s bad side — she’s nice, but she’s strict.”

The second person they meet, standing in front of the school, is Ron Jones, a tall, athletic gym teacher, who holds three fingers in the air, the Fern Creek signal for everyone to button it. “We’ve told them what being quiet looks like and sounds like,” Jones says.

Galatowitsch does not believe

in suspending children. “It makes no sense to remove a child who needs school the most,” he said.

This year, no Fern Creek student has been suspended, although many have been sent to the quiet room to cool off.

On literacy night, the school bus arrived at the shelter at 5:20. Only two mothers and six children got on. All together, about 150 parents and children attended. There was a storyteller from the Orange County Library System, a book giveaway and the book fair. Galatowitsch used a $250 donation to buy books for the homeless students. The Collinses returned to the shelter with four each, which pleased Tamara, who did not need to spend her 53 cents.

At the end of the evening, a raffle was held in the cafeteria. A number of prizes were awarded, but the most coveted by far were the four bicycles that had been donated by the a local church.

When it came down to the last bike, Galatowitsch, who has been a principal 16 years and makes $91,674 a year, called out ticket No. 9083. Brianna leapt into the air: she had won a black bike and matching helmet. “Plus I get this,” she said, holding up a lock.

Tamara stood quietly to the side. “I didn’t get a bicycle,” she said to her mother.

When it was time to leave, a grown-up carried the new bicycle onto the school bus. For once in a very hard life, heading home to the shelter, Brianna Collins felt like a movie star.

For the first time in its 111-year history, an organization made up of the nation’s leading research universities has voted to oust one of its members, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

The ouster by the prestigious and prominent group, the Association of American Universities, was particularly painful to Nebraska since the university was one of its earliest members, admitted in 1909. But for several years, Nebraska has lagged behind most others on the criteria for membership — primarily competitive research financing and the share of faculty in the National Academies, which issues policy reports and advice.

“We have known we were at risk of this for 10 years, and successfully fought off a similar threat in 2000,” the university’s chancellor, Harvey Perlman, said in an e-mail to faculty and staff announcing what he called the “disconcerting news.” “I had hoped our extraordinary accomplishments and steep trajectory would have made us less vulnerable, but the AAU’s approach to the review made this result inevitable.”

Nebraska’s ouster was reported Monday by The Chronicle of Higher Education, along with a decision by Syracuse University to leave the organization voluntarily. Syracuse has been a member since 1966, and, like Nebraska, was placed on review last fall.

“We went through the review process, and it was very clear from AAU’s point of view, and our point of view, that they had recommitted to this narrow set of criteria,” said Nancy Cantor, the Syracuse chancellor. “I don’t see it as a big blow. We have tremendous strength, and we’re very confident in our profile.”

Although membership in the association — which now will have 61 members, including most Ivy League institutions and many of the top state schools, like Texas A&M and the University of North Carolina — brings no specific benefits, many campuses see it as a proud indicator of their status.

“Some believe it helps attract faculty,” said Barry Toiv, a spokesman for the group, “and the presidents of member universities appreciate the opportunity to meet twice a year with others facing the same set of issues, and work together on policy and funding issues.”

T S Fatah, Hamas sign reconciliation pact

Prosecutor to seek warrants for Libyan officials

By ETHAN BRONNER New York Times News Service

By Marlise Simons and Neil Macfarquhar New York Times News Service

The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague said Wednesday that he would seek arrest warrants for three senior officials in Libya on charges of crimes against humanity, providing no names but saying that the three were “the most responsible” for the crimes committed.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the prosecutor, appeared in a briefing before the U.N. Security Council, which had unanimously called for a criminal investigation of Moammar Gadhafi’s use of force against civilians. Moreno-Ocampo said the evidence supporting charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity included the shooting of peaceful protesters, followed by weeks of systematic persecution, including murder, imprisonment and torture.

“War crimes are apparently committed as a matter of policy,” the prosecutor said. He went on: “The evidence shows that events in neighboring Egypt and Tunisia prompted Libyan security forces to begin preparations for the possibility of demonstrations in Libya. As early as January, mercenaries were being hired and brought into Libya.”

Other violations, MorenoOcampo said, included preventing the wounded from receiving medical care; arresting, torturing and raping perceived opponents of the Gadhafi government; and the use of cluster bombs, mortars and other heavy weapons in crowded urban areas.

The prosecutor said that “efforts to cover up the crimes” — removing bodies from hospitals and preventing doctors from documenting the dead and wounded — had made it difficult to establish the number of victims. But he said 500 to 700 died from shootings in February, before full-fledged fighting broke out between the government and rebel forces.

“Shooting at protesters was systematic,” he said.

Lawyers familiar with the investigation said that the first arrest warrants were likely to focus on the initial violent clampdown on protesters. Moreno-Ocampo would not comment on whether the indictments involved Gadhafi or any of his sons, at least three of whom hold military positions.

Week after storm, town still looking for missing Referendum puts strain

By Campbell Robertson New York Times News Service

HACKLEBURG, Ala. — Over the past week, this close-knit little town has had to grapple with a most unfamiliar feeling: not knowing where everyone is.

Accounting for everyone, even here, in a town of 1,576, has proved a daunting task.

Across Alabama, officials are going over their accounts of the dead and missing. The state emergency management agency had been releasing a daily toll of fatalities, which

by Sunday morning had reached 250. But the tally suddenly dropped to 236 later that day after officials significantly lowered their numbers in Marion County. State officials have not released a toll since, as each county recalculates.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Get ready for a lot of talk and fresh optimism today about dramatically cutting the federal debt and budget deficits.

Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to host a “budget summit” meeting this morning with lawmakers from both parties and both houses of Congress.

At the Capitol, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., is preparing to unveil his own budget plan. The “Gang of Six,” three Democratic and three Republican senators, also says it’s close to presenting its own proposal.

Experts expect no breakthroughs today — or anytime soon, for that matter — since the lawmakers’ most crucial deadlines are months away.

While the government is about to reach its legal debt limit of $14.3 trillion, on Monday Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, that enough steps can be taken to keep the government financed until Aug. 2. That gives lawmakers almost three months to dicker.

After that, the next big deadline will be Sept. 30, when fiscal 2011 ends. Unless Congress passes a new budget by then — or an extension of current spending levels, as it often does

The number of missing has fluctuated even more, mainly because it has been so difficult to communicate, at least in the first days after the tornadoes, before power started to come back all over the state. In Facebook posts or calls to the police, Alabamans have been begging for any information on relatives or old friends whom they have not seen for years. Most of those designated as missing, however, are only missing to the people who cannot find them.

“I’m not missing; I never was,” said Mike Largin, a 66-year-old retired coal miner who lives in the Tuscaloosa suburb of Brookwood, and who found himself on a widely consulted missing persons list in The Tuscaloosa News. “But everyone thinks I am. I can’t get found.”

Such confusion is understand-

able in a big college town like Tuscaloosa, where even before the turmoil brought by the storm, students came and went, people were always visiting and residents lived and worked in their own little fraction of the city.

But it should not be like that in Hackleburg.

“In a community this size,” said Lyn Littleton, a state emergency management official working in Marion County, where Hackleburg sits, “everybody knows everybody.”

Marion County’s death toll is now 23. A few days ago, it was 35. Such a degree of uncertainty, in a place like this, is a grim testament of what the storm did to Hackleburg.

“I heard someone say it’s like God came and stomped on it,” said Ed Howell, a writer for The Journal Record of Marion County.

Deficit talks begin anew, but no breakthroughs expected

By David Lightman and William Douglas

CAIRO — Rival Palestinian movements signed a historic reconciliation accord here on Wednesday vowing common cause against Israeli occupation, a product of shifting regional power relations and disillusionment with U.S. peace efforts.

Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Fatah movement and — at least until now — a U.S. ally, joined forces with Khaled Meshal, the Syriabased leader of Hamas, the Islamist group that rejects Israel’s existence and accepts arms and training from Iran.

At the signing ceremony inside Egypt’s intelligence headquarters, men from Abbas’ Palestinian Authority, which runs the West Bank, and from Hamas, which rules

Gaza — who had for four years viewed one another as solemn enemies — embraced and even joked. But they also expressed steely mutual resolve.

“We will have one authority and one decision,” Meshal said.

“We need to achieve the common goal: A Palestinian state with full sovereignty on the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as the capital, no settlers, and we will not give up the right of return.”

The forces that produced this unexpected reconciliation deal are many — the changes in Egypt, the troubles of the government in Syria, the failure of peace negotiations with Israel and Abbas’ plans to retire with a lasting legacy. But the efforts of Abbas to join hands with Hamas also underscore his determination to pursue Palestinian statehood unilaterally and his willingness to risk a major rupture with the U.S. and Israel.

— the government will run out of money the next day.

The real meaning of this new burst of negotiations and ideas, analysts said, is that at least lawmakers are starting down a path, however slowly, that could set a framework for some agreement eventually.

“This is a pregnant moment, I guess,” said Robert Bixby, the executive director of the Concord Coalition, an independent budget watchdog group. “My take is that the Biden group’s main function is to find a politically acceptable way to raise the debt limit.

“And that could give wiggle room to the Gang of Six,” which is aiming for a grander restructuring of long-term federal spending and taxes. “The question is how much each side is willing to alienate their base,” he said. “If this group can’t do it, I wonder who can.”

The budget designers all seem to be in general agreement on several principles: Deficits should be cut by about $4 trillion over the next 10 years. Some sort of tax code changes must be considered, though lawmakers must take care that they’re not dubbed tax increases or they’ll get virtually no Republican support.

And Medicare and Medicaid, the government health programs that are huge contributors to projected deficits, are in for some trims, though probably not major overhauls, as Democrats won’t stand for any drastic revamping.

the party’s more populist wing.

The bill would require the police to make “a reasonable effort” to determine the immigration status of people they arrest and jail, a provision that opponents say is an Arizona-style attack on legal and illegal immigrants. The proposal would also require that illegal

immigrants who are convicted of nonviolent crimes be referred to federal officials for deportation.

Lawmakers had presumed the bill was dead after the Senate voted down a pivotal amendment on Tuesday that had been pushed

by Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, and Tea Party activists.

SOLAR & RADIANT HEATING SYSTEMS

on Britain’s government

By Anthony Faiola The Washington Post

LONDON — Among the fragrant roses behind No. 10 Downing Street, David Cameron and Nick Clegg presented themselves to the British public one year ago as a political dream team: Cameron, a Conservative, as prime minister and Clegg, a Liberal Democrat, as his deputy, in a coalition government blurring the lines between the right and left wings.

Yet as Britons vote on a pivotal referendum today that could change the way they elect their governments, the coalition is no longer smelling so sweet.

Cameron’s conservatives grudgingly agreed to hold the referendum to appease the Liberal Democrats — traditionally Britain’s third-largest political force after the Conservative and Labor parties, and whose support Cameron needed to form a government after a close vote last May. But passage of the measure would arguably aid the Liberal Democrats the most, while hurting the Conservatives in future elections. To defeat it, the Conservatives are be-

ing accused of waging a misinformation and smear campaign against their very own coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats.

After talking up the fraternal bonds of political friendship only months ago, Clegg is now lashing out at the Conservatives for spreading “lies” and “deceit.” The tension spilled over into a cabinet meeting Tuesday, when the Liberal Democrat energy secretary openly confronted Cameron over campaign materials against the measure that contained personal attacks against Clegg.

The open warfare over the referendum is damaging the coalition, potentially testing its ability to hold together as planned for a full five years. The Liberal Democrats are vowing that win or lose, they will more aggressively challenge Cameron’s Conservative agenda after today’s vote.

Already, the Liberal Democrats in recent weeks have come out swinging against Cameron on issues including immigration and heath-care reform.

Pakistani army shaken by raid to kill bin Laden

By Jane Perlez New York Times News Service

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The reputation of the army, the most powerful and privileged force in Pakistan, has been severely undermined by the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, raising profound questions about its credibility from people at home and from benefactors abroad, including the United States.

That U.S. helicopters could fly into Pakistan, kill the world’s most wanted terrorist and then fly out has produced a stunned silence from the military and its intelligence service since Monday that some interpret as overwhelming embarrassment, even humiliation.

There is no doubt that the raid has provoked a crisis of confidence for what was long seen as the one institution that held together a nation dangerously beset by militancy and chronically weak civilian governments.

The aftermath has left Pakistanis to challenge their leadership, and the United States to further question an alreadyfrequently distrusted partner.

By Wednesday, members of Parliament, newspaper editorials and Pakistan’s raucous political talk shows were calling for an explanation and challenging the military and intelligence establishment, institutions previously immune to public reproach.

Some were calling for an independent inquiry, focused less on

Einstein Continued from A1 Einstein’s theory relates gravity to the sagging of cosmic geometry under the influence of matter and energy, the way a sleeper makes a mattress sag.

One consequence is that a massive spinning object like the Earth should spin up the empty space around it, the way twirling the straw in a Frappuccino sets the drink and the whole Ventisize cup spinning around with it, an effect called frame dragging.

Astronomers think this effect, although minuscule for the Earth, could play a role in the massive black hole dynamos that power quasars.

Empty space in the vicinity of Earth is indeed turning, Everitt reported at the news conference and in a paper prepared for the journal Physical Review Letters, at the leisurely rate of 37 onethousandths of a second of arc — the equivalent of a human hair seen from 10 miles away — every year. With an uncertainty of 19 percent, that measurement was in agreement with Einstein’s predictions of 39 milliarcseconds.

“If these people are found to be incompetent, heads should roll,” said Zafar Hilaly, a prominent newspaper columnist.

Different questions were coming from Pakistan’s neighbors and Western allies, including the United States.

In Congress, lawmakers in charge of foreign military assistance delivered scathing assessments of the Pakistani Army as either incompetent or duplicitous, saying that renewed financial support was hardly guaranteed.

In Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron told Parliament it was unbelievable that Pakistani authorities did not know that bin Laden was hiding not far from the capital.

But the most urgent question of all is what to do about it, and whether the United States should continue to invest in a Pakistani military whose assurances that it does not work with terrorists carry less weight than ever.

Pakistani officials, who feel betrayed by the United States for not informing them about the raid, are responding more defensively by the day.

ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan — The Pakistani military has taken charge of investigations into the circumstances that allowed Osama bin Laden to reside quietly in a three-story house on the edge of this town, officials here said. Military intelligence investigators returned to the house on Wednesday and spent most of the day working inside the compound, while the army and the police barred journalists and others from approaching the area.

The intelligence agencies have detained at least 11 people for questioning, including an immediate neighbor who once worked with the family, and the construction manager who built the house, Pakistani news organizations reported.

They have also taken into custody the bodies of four people killed when a U.S. Navy SEALs team made an air-assault on the house early Monday.

Three women and nine children found in the house after the raid are also in the custody of the intelligence services, Pakistani security officials said. At least two are related to bin Laden, one security official said: a 12- or 13year-old daughter and his wife, who was shot in the leg but has received hospital care and is out of danger. He spoke on the condition of anonymity in accordance with the rules of his agency.

The national daily newspaper The News published a photograph on its front page that it said was the photo page of the passport of bin Laden’s wife. The passport was from the Republic of Yemen and pictured a woman in a black head scarf named Amal Ahmed Abdulfattah, born on March 29, 1987, making her 24 years old, about 30 years younger than bin Laden.

9.8 percent annually.

The city is planning nearly $100 million in water and sewer improvements, which will increase customer bills by double digits over that time.

As proposed, water rates are expected to increase by 7 percent each year, starting July 1. Much of that increase is due to a major reconstruction of the city’s Bridge Creek water system that provides about half the city’s water supply.

Sewer customers can expect

to see their bills increase by about 10 percent annually. Those increases are in large part to pay for work the city is doing to divert sewage from southeast Bend directly to the city’s wastewater treatment plant in the northeast.

Before the budget is adopted the city budget committee will hold public hearings. Those meetings are scheduled May 24-26.

For Everitt, who joined the Gravity Probe experiment in 1962 as a young postdoctoral fellow and has worked on nothing else since, Wednesday’s announcement capped a careerlong journey.

The experiment was conceived in 1959, but the technology to make these esoteric measurements did not yet exist, which is why the experiment took so long and cost so much. The gyroscopes, for example, were made of superconducting niobium

spheres, the roundest balls ever manufactured, which then had to be flown in a lead bag to isolate them from any other influences in the universe, save the subversive curvature of space-time itself.

Shortly before the probe’s launching, Everitt said the project had been canceled at least seven times, “depending on what you mean by canceled.” It was finally launched into orbit in 2004 and operated for some 17 months, but not all went well. When the scientists began analyzing their data, they discovered that patches of electrical charge on the niobium balls had generated extra torque on the gyroscopes, causing them to drift.

It would take five more years to understand the spurious signals and retrieve the gravity data by dint of an effort that Will called “nothing less than heroic.”

A Pakistani policeman stands outside the compound where Osama bin Laden was reportedly killed in Abottabad, Pakistan, Wednesday. Faced with questions about its avowed ignorance of bin Laden’s presence on Pakistani soil, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani tried to shift the focus of blame. said he could not confirm whether it was connected to anyone detained after the raid.

Officials are still investigating the identity of the four people whose bodies were found inside the compound after the SEALs team departed with bin Laden’s body. The bodies included two brothers and a son of bin Laden, the security official said. U.S. officials have said the fourth person killed was a woman, while the Pakistani official said the fourth was an unknown man.

The two brothers were known as Arshad Khan, the owner of the house, and Tareq Khan.

Neighbors say they were either brothers or cousins. Preliminary investigations have made officials suspect that these were not their real names and that they

were living under fake identities.

Arshad Khan was carrying an old noncomputerized Pakistani national identity card, which said he was from Khat Kuruna, a village in Tangi district, near Charsadda in northwestern Pakistan. Yet officials have found that there is no record of an Arshad Khan in Khat Kuruna.

Pakistan introduced computerized identity cards a few years ago to cut down on the production of fraudulent identity cards, many of them bought by Afghan refugees, among others.

U.S. officials said that Arshad Khan was the local alias of the trusted courier who led them to bin Laden and who was known inside al-Qaida as Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti. They describe him as a Pakistani who was brought

up in Kuwait, hence the suffix to his name, and say that he was a close protege of two senior figures in al-Qaida, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Faraj alLibi, who were both arrested in Pakistani cities before being handed over to U.S. custody.

The men and the compound do seem to have on occasion drawn the attention of intelligence agencies. Both Afghan and Pakistani officials have said they had pointed out the compound as one of interest to CIA officials in previous years.

Pakistan’s foreign secretary, Salman Bashir, told the BBC that officials had indicated it as suspicious in 2009, and as a possible hide-out for bin Laden, although there were “millions” of other suspected locations.

Inside the Navy, there are regular unclassified SEAL members, organized into Teams 1 to 5 and 7 to 10. Then there is SEAL Team 6, “the all-star team,” said Lalo Roberti, 27, a former SEAL member who teaches at Shipley’s school and took part in a rescue mission in Afghanistan in 2005.

SEAL Team 6 was created as a reaction to the botched rescue mission of U.S. hostages in Iran in 1980, when the Pentagon saw the need for what became today’s Special Operations Command, with a special Navy unit focused on counterterrorism.

Despite the Pakistan mission’s

success, former SEAL members acknowledged the precariousness of the raid and the degree of luck involved. “If that thing had gone bad, the conversation you and I would be having would be completely different,” Shipley said.

“There’s only two ways to go in these operations — zero or hero.”

Obama won’t release photos of bin Laden

By Anne E. Kornblut and Felicia Sonmez The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama ruled out publicly releasing photographs of the deceased Osama bin Laden on Wednesday, and White House officials said they would give no new details about the raid on his compound in Pakistan, an information clampdown that followed fitful attempts to craft a riveting narrative about the killing of alQaida’s leader.

Obama said his decision not to release the photos — described by others as extremely gory depictions of a bloodied bin Laden was an effort to prevent a global backlash.

“It’s important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool,” Obama said in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes.” “That’s not who we are. We don’t trot out this stuff as trophies.”

The move appeared to contradict CIA Director Leon Panetta’s assertion that the photos would eventually be made public, suggesting a split among the president’s top aides, and it drew swift criticism from some Republicans. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called withholding the

photographs a “mistake,” saying it will “unnecessarily prolong” questions about whether the alQaida founder really died.

Just days after one of the most heralded covert actions in U.S. history, the White House found itself struggling to tell the story of the dramatic raid and having to justify the legal basis for it.

The conundrum mirrored problems that the Obama administration has had communicating its national security approach in the past. From the immediate aftermath of an attempted airliner bombing on Dec. 25, 2009, to the early management of the H1N1 flu crisis, the White House has repeatedly labored to prove its command of inflammatory facts during fast-moving events.

This time, officials backed away from several of the most provocative elements disclosed in the first 24 hours. Bin Laden was not “killed in a firefight,” and he did not use his wife as a “human shield,” as originally claimed. White House officials volunteered the corrections, saying the errors were caused by haste as investigators debriefed the Navy SEALs thousands of miles away and officials attempted to brief reporters in real time.

Further questions about the original story surfaced as well.

A White House claim that the compound was worth $1 mil-

Still, it’s just a matter of time before Central Oregon endures a summer punctuated by sev-

lion appeared to be contradicted by property records showing that the land was worth $48,000 when it was purchased in stages in 2004 and 2005, according to the Associated Press.

Administration officials insisted that the $1 million price tag was arrived at through careful analysis and was not inflated. “Abbottabad is a relatively affluent city in Pakistan, and the value of the compound was determined after thorough and rigorous analysis of real estate values there,” a U.S. intelligence official said, referring to the military town where the hideout is situated. “The compound sits on a large plot of land, which also adds to the compound’s value.”

Another official said the three-story structure where bin Laden lived should be taken into account as part of the price estimate, although videos of the building have not indicated that there was anything lavish about it, beyond its extensive security.

Nonetheless, White House officials maintained that it is best described as a “mansion” and said the underlying facts about bin Laden’s lifestyle remained true.

“Nothing about the broader point about bin Laden is inaccurate,” said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor.

Support for President Barack Obama rose sharply after the killing of Osama bin Laden, with a majority now approving of his overall job performance, as well as his handling of foreign policy, the war in Afghanistan and the threat of terrorism, according to the latest New York Times/ CBS News poll.

The glow of national pride

seemed to rise above partisan politics, as support for the president rose significantly among both Republicans and independents. In all, 57 percent said they now approved of the president’s job performance, up from 46 percent last month.

But euphoria was tempered by a sense of foreboding: More than 6 in 10 Americans said killing bin Laden was likely to increase the threat of terrorism against

the United States in the short term.

A large majority also said that the al-Qaida leader’s death did not make them feel any safer.

Just 16 percent said they personally felt more safe now.

Although there has been talk in some quarters that the U.S. military can now leave Afghanistan, the poll showed that public sentiment on the issue seems more complicated.

eral major fires, said Loomis.

“We’ve got an abundance of fuel out there, and we can’t treat everything,” he said.

But conditions probably won’t favor large-scale fires this year.

Meanwhile, fire officials point out that treating overgrown forests — by cutting down trees, mowing shrubs and conducting prescribed burns, for example — does change fire behavior.

On the day the Rooster Rock Fire started in 2010, another fire erupted a mile or two away, said Lisa Clark, spokeswoman with the Bureau of Land Management. The latter fire burned only a quarter-acre, however, because the area had been treated.

And when the 2007 GW Fire, which burned more than 7,000 acres near Black Butte Ranch, spread to an area that had been

treated, it dropped down from the treetops to the forest floor, she said, and became easier for firefighters to control.

This week marks the start of the prescribed burning season, and spring burns are planned for all of the ranger districts in the Deschutes National Forest, as well as on Prineville District BLM lands.

But the goal is to try to light

fires in controlled situations to clean out some of the fuels that could lead to bigger fires in the heat of the summer.

“That’s why we get out there on what seems like a beautiful day, and we put some smoke in the air,” Clark said.

President gets boost in polls after raid Bulletin wire reports

By David Goldstein McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — As details surface about the mission earlier this week to find Osama bin Laden, one thing is clear: Capturing the long-sought terrorist mastermind alive might have been an option, but it wasn’t a top priority.

The Navy SEAL team that slipped into Pakistan and entered bin Laden’s walled hideout put a bullet in his head and flew away in a helicopter with his corpse.

He was buried at sea.

Experts were divided on whether that was the wiser course. The risks were high either way.

“The costs of capturing bin Laden, as opposed to killing him, were pretty stark,” said Seth Jones, a counterinsurgency and counterterrorism specialist who’s advised the military on Afghanistan. “It creates almost a desperate push (by his followers) to get him free. Then what do you do with him? Who tries him? Where do you keep him? What sort of justice do you put him through?

“It was probably wise to kill him right there.”

CIA Director Leon Panetta told NBC this week that the SEAL team was authorized to kill bin Laden but could have taken him alive if the opportunity arose.

“But that opportunity never developed,” he said.

U.S. officials have said that bin Laden was unarmed but had resisted in an unspecified manner.

“If he had run out of the compound with his hands held up, obviously it might have been different,” said Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., a former Senate Intelligence Committee chairman.

“The first thing you want to do is accomplish the mission: Take the head of the snake.”

But several former members of the intelligence community and the military said that bin Laden was a potential gold mine of information. Imprisoned senior al-Qaida leaders, such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah, have provided useful information about terrorist links and activities, they said.

“Once a decision was made to put boots on the ground and put our guys deeply in harm’s way, I believe it should have been a capture operation and not a kill operation,” said Louis Tucker, a former SEAL and former minority staff director for the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Arthur Hulnick, a former analyst for the CIA, said killing bin Laden was “a lost opportunity” and could lead his followers to view him as a martyr.

“It’s too bad it came about that way, but in the rush of things I am sure there was no time to sit around and decide,” he said.

Failing grades on civics test called a ‘crisis’

Low census counts will cost big cities

By Sam Dillon

Stateline.org

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Atlanta thought its big story for the last decade had been one of urban renaissance. The U.S. Census Bureau had told the city as much. In 2000, according to the decennial census count, Atlanta had 416,000 people. In the Bureau’s estimate for July 1, 2009, it was up to 540,000.

That figure represented the city’s largest population ever — more than the 497,000 Atlantans the Census Bureau found in 1970. It marked an incredible comeback from 1990, when the city had fallen below 400,000 people.

That’s why the Bureau shocked the city when it announced the results of the 2010 Census this March. Atlanta, it said, had only 420,000 people. In a decade, it had

Fewer than half of U.S. eighth-graders knew the purpose of the Bill of Rights on the most recent national civics examination, and only one in 10 demonstrated acceptable knowledge of the checks and balances among the legislative, executive and judicial branches, according to test results released on Wednesday.

At the same time, threequarters of high school seniors who took the test, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, were unable to demonstrate civic skills like identifying the effect of United States foreign policy on other nations or naming a power granted to Congress by the Constitution.

“Today’s NAEP results confirm that we have a crisis on our hands when it comes to civics education,” said Sandra Day O’Connor, the former Supreme Court justice, who last year founded icivics.org, a nonprofit group that teaches students civics through Webbased games and other tools.

The Department of Education administered the tests, known as the nation’s report card, to 27,000 fourth-, eighthand 12th-grade students last year. Questions cover themes including how government is financed, what rights are protected by the Constitution and how laws are passed.

Average fourth-grade scores on the test’s 300-point scale rose slightly since the exam was last administered, in 2006, to 157 from 154. Average eighth-grade scores were virtually unchanged at 151.

The scores of high school seniors dropped to 148 from 151.

Those scores mean that about a quarter of fourth- and 12thgrade students, and about one-fifth of eighth-graders ranked at the proficient or advanced levels.

“The results confirm an alarming and continuing trend that civics in America is in decline,” said Charles Quigley, executive director of the Center for Civic Education.

Atlanta, Detroit may challenge bureau’s estimates

By Josh Goodman

hardly grown at all. In effect, the Census Bureau was saying that its own estimate just months before had been off by more than 20 percent.

Atlanta provides merely the most dramatic example of one of the true puzzles of the 2010 Census. The Bureau found far fewer people in many major cities than its own estimates had found a year earlier.

Now the Census Bureau and cities are debating which numbers are closer to the truth. No one knows for sure — and no one may ever know for sure.

While it won’t be easy, Atlanta and other cities are talking about challenging the counts. That’s because the discrepancy isn’t just a question of civic pride. Atlanta and other cities will have far less state and federal political representation and state and federal aid in coming years than they

would have if the Bureau had found more people.

How is it possible that one count for Atlanta’s population could be 420,000 and another could be 540,000 — that 120,000 people might or might not exist? The basic answer is that the decennial Census and the Bureau’s annual estimates rely on very different approaches.

The once-a-decade Census tries to make contact with every person in the country, through mailed forms and door-to-door outreach. The annual estimates start with the most recent decennial count, then extrapolate how the population has changed using a variety of local administrative records.

For many cities this time around, the difference between the decennial count and the 2009 estimates was huge. Nationally, as you’d expect in a growing country, the Bureau’s decennial count for April 1, 2010, was about 3 million people higher

than the previous estimate, from July 1, 2009. For the 50 largest cities in the country, however, the number actually went down by 1.3 million.

Detroit’s population was off by more than 20 percent, or nearly 200,000 people, from its 2009 estimate — an estimate that itself had reflected a drop in the city’s population of around 40,000 in the first nine years of the decade. None of the other 50 largest cities had discrepancies anywhere near as large as Atlanta and Detroit did, but Omaha, Phoenix, Cleveland, Dallas, Miami, Houston, Mesa (Arizona) and Chicago all had counts that were at least 5 percent below their most recent estimate.

In the Census Bureau’s view, it’s clear which numbers are right: those that come from the decennial count. “Obviously, we’re doing the best we can with the estimates,” says Greg Harper, a Census Bureau demographer, “but they are just estimates.”

In cruel corner of Oklahoma, town endures dry adversity

By Katharine Q. Seelye New York Times News Service

BOISE CITY, Okla. — While tornadoes and floods have ravaged the South and the Midwest, the remote western edge of the Oklahoma Panhandle is quietly enduring a weather calamity of its own: its longest drought on record, even worse than the Dust Bowl, when incessant winds scooped up the soil into billowing black clouds and rolled it through this town like bowling balls.

With a drought continuing to punish much of the Great Plains, this one stands out.

Boise (rhymes with voice) City has gone 222 consecutive days through Tuesday with less than a quarter-inch of rainfall in any single day, said Gary McManus, a state climatologist. That is the longest such dry spell here since note-keeping began in 1908.

The Dust Bowl of the 1930s, caused in part by the careless gouging of the earth in an effort to farm it, created an epic environmental disaster. Experts say it is unlikely to be repeated because farming has changed so much.

Boise City recovered from the Dust Bowl and has periodically enjoyed bountiful years since.

Bulls are let out of their pen at the Sharp Ranch near Boise City, Okla. The remote western edge of the Oklahoma Panhandle is quietly enduring the longest drought on record, even worse than the Dust Bowl.

A sign outside the Boise City (Okla.) Church of Christ.

But this drought is a reminder of just how parched and unyielding life can be along this windraked frontier, fittingly called No Man’s Land, and it is not clear how many more ups and downs Boise City can take.

“The community is drying up,” Mark Axtell, the area’s only funeral director, said during a walk through the cemetery, where brown tufts of buffalo grass crunched underfoot.

In the past decade, Boise City lost almost 16 percent of its population, according to the 2010 Census. Just 1,312 people

tables have become the town’s social hub.

But the main street outside is deserted, and many storefronts shuttered. Most people shop at the Walmart 60 miles away.

Residents blame a lack of jobs — not the drought — for the town’s decline. Dry spells come and go, they say, and coping with them is baked into their psyches. Many who live here are descended from those souls who endured the Dust Bowl and have reaped harvests aplenty since; they are bound to the land and not easily discouraged.

live here now — far fewer than the 3,000 who bought the first lots in 1908, only to discover that they had been hoodwinked.

The land was inhospitable, and promises of railroads, water and trees (Boise is from the French “le bois,” meaning trees) were a fraud.

Boise City became the county seat for Cimarron County. But now, the county, too, has sagged.

In the past decade it lost 21 percent of its population. Its 2,475 residents are spread so thin over such a wide expanse that an average of only 1.3 people occupy

each square mile.

The young have little reason to stay. The old are dying or moving away to be closer to their children or to medical facilities, since Boise City’s only nursing home has closed.

“Last year, we did half as many funerals as the year I took over,” said Axtell, 48, who bought the business 25 years ago. “Last year was my fourth consecutive low year.”

The plunge in funerals prompted him to buy a cafe last year to supplement his income.

Ten-year CLOSE 3.22 treasury CHANGE -.92%

By Binyamin Appelbaum New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The federal government will not run short of money to pay its bills May 16, when the federal debt reaches the legal maximum of $14.3 trillion.

The government will not even run short of money Aug. 2, the deadline the Treasury Department set this week for Congress to lift the bor-

rowing limit. Asset sales and bookkeeping devices could delay the inevitable crisis, perhaps for a few months.

But with every passing week of political stalemate over the debt ceiling, the risk increases that investors will start to fret that the United States will not pay its debts and demand higher interest rates for lending money to the federal government.

Should that happen, the cost could be vast and the damage difficult to reverse.

Debates over the debt ceiling have become a regular feature of political life in Washington. Congress has lifted the ceiling more than once a year, on average, over the past halfcentury — often walking right up to the deadline before acting. But the debt has never been so large, and the political climate has rarely been as contentious.

BofA to boost its mortgage assistance Bank of America plans to triple the number of local centers that provide assistance to mortgage customers facing foreclosure, lifting the total to 40 from 12 by early summer.

The bank, which will announce the plan today, will focus on regions hit especially hard by the rising tide of homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments.

Seven locations will open in California and three in the Detroit area; other centers will be unveiled in St. Louis, Newark, N.J., Philadelphia and Tucson, Ariz., among other cities.

Additional centers may open later this year, the bank said. Counselors fluent in languages including Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese and Russian will be available for nonEnglish speaking customers.

Increases in hiring miss expectations WASHINGTON — The U.S. private sector added 179,000 jobs in April, the lowest increase since November, payroll company Automatic Data Processing Inc. said Wednesday.

Economists were expecting a gain closer to 200,000. The ADP report is likely to reaffirm market expectations that the U.S. government’s official employment data for April will also show fewer than 200,000 new jobs.

Meanwhile, the Institute for Supply Management on Wednesday said the service sector expanded in April at a much slower rate compared with the previous month.

gaps in stable employment

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

Aaron Langeliers took his Easter Sunday layoff notice from Mt. Bachelor into the WorkSource Oregon Employment office in Bend Tuesday. He’s searching for another temporary job to fill the gap until he heads to Alaska in July to guide fishing expeditions and grizzly bear hunts.

Langeliers, 31, used to work in construction in Oregon City, but when construction jobs dried up during the recession of 2008-09, instead of chasing scarce full-time building jobs, Langeliers discovered a combination of seasonal jobs with what he calls “the thrill factor.”

“I just moved to Bend in November for the job at Mt. Bachelor. I knew it was seasonal when I took it,” Langeliers said.

From November through late April, he got his thrills working on a ski lift maintenance crew, which he said was a dream job that provided plenty of free time to pursue snowboarding thrills on the mountain.

Mt. Bachelor went to its spring operating plan on April 25, cutting back operations and laying off maintenance workers, according to spokesman Sandy Goggins, With unemployment in Central Oregon ranging from 12.3 percent in Deschutes County to 12.6 percent in Jefferson County and 15.4 percent in Crook County, according to the March unemployment report, Langeliers decided to search for another temporary job.

The old Bend Amateur Athletic Club building could get a new roof.

The Boys & Girls Club of Bend is the tenant of the building, most of which the Bend Park & Recreation District owns, and would reap the benefits of the renovation.

The park district and Bend-La Pine Schools, which owns the east end of the building, are awaiting approval of the building permit, submitted to the city last month.

Heidi Slaybough, an architect at Pinnacle Architecture Inc. of Bend and chair of the Deschutes County Historic Landmarks Commission, said the building needs a new roof, as buildings generally do every 20 or 30 years. Some shingles have disintegrated, and others have flown off in storms, prompting ad hoc fixes, Slaybough said.

The park district has $250,000 available for the project, said its business manager, David Crowther.

that became the basic building block of electronic devices in the information age.

These early chips were built on a flat surface. But like a real estate developer building skyscrapers to get more rentable space from a plot of land, Intel is now building up.

When the space between the billions of tiny electronic switches on the flat surface of a computer chip is measured in the width of just dozens of atoms, designers needed the third dimension to find more room.

The company has already be-

gun making its microprocessors using a new 3-D transistor design, called a Finfet (for fin field-effect transistor), which is based around a remarkably small pillar, or fin, of silicon that rises above the surface of the chip. Intel, based in Santa Clara, Calif., plans to enter general production based on the new technology some time later this year.

Although the company did not give technical details about its new process in its Wednesday an-

nouncement, it said that it expected to be able to make chips that run as much as 37 percent faster in lowvoltage applications and it would be able to cut power consumption as much as 50 percent.

Intel currently uses a photolithographic process to make a chip, in which the smallest feature on the chip is just 32 nanometers, a level of microscopic manufacture that was reached in 2009.

BOSTON — It’s challenging to get a handle on where the economy is headed. The stock market rises on promising corporate earnings one day, only to slide on disappointing jobs data the next. Still, records are being set.

The most widely used benchmark of small-cap stocks, the Russell 2000 index, hit an all-time high on Monday, eclipsing a record set in 2007.

It’s slipped since then, but remains up nearly 143 percent from its low in March 2009, when stocks hit bottom

during the financial meltdown.

By comparison the Standard & Poor’s 500 is up 99 percent. That index, of the 500 largest stocks, remains 16 percent below its record level of October 2007.

Although the Russell 2000 represents a much smaller part of the overall market, that doesn’t mean it isn’t important — just ask investors who’ve seen huge gains. Now, the question is whether it can last.

“We’ve had a really strong run, and normal volatility would suggest the market could cool off a bit,” says

Nathan Moser, manager of the Pax World Small Cap Fund. “But over the longer term, I think small-caps will continue to outperform.”

Seeking energy independence, Ukraine takes Texas approach

Joseph Sywenkyj / New York Times News Service

Trucks from Vikoil, a Ukrainian seismic exploration company studying unconventional natural gas deposits, search for gas underground in Kiev, Ukraine, in April. Ukraine is looking to shale gas, and technology used in Fort Worth, Texas, as a means of lessening dependence on Russia for energy.

By Andrew E. Kramer New York Times News Service

KIEV, Ukraine — This former Soviet state in Eastern Europe is betting that the path toward energy independence runs through Fort Worth, Texas.

By drilling in the scrubland and vacant lots in and around the city of Fort Worth, U.S. energy companies have demonstrated that they can produce natural gas economically from shale — a form of sedimentary rock previously considered all but worthless.

Now, despite environmentalists’ opposition to the water-polluting potential of the shale-gas extraction method known as fracking, the technology’s proponents are heading abroad. And Ukraine, which sits atop tantalizingly large shale deposits, is eager to do business.

Already this year, Ukraine has opened talks with three Western energy giants — ExxonMobil, Chevron and Shell — to search for shale gas. Ukraine’s Parliament has also passed investorfriendly legislation aimed at opening its domestic natural gas market to shale gas producers.

Meanwhile, the nation’s president, Viktor Yanukovich, has signed a shale-gas exploration agreement with the U.S. and reached an accord with the European Union on energy transport that opens Ukraine’s pipeline system to Western companies.

Geopolitics of gas Along with the energy companies courting it, Ukraine sees shale as potentially altering the geopolitics of natural gas, lessening global reliance on Russia and the Middle East. Today, just three countries — Russia, Iran and Qatar — hold 54 percent of the world’s conventional gas reserves. But shale is found in many other places, including Eastern and Western Europe, India, China and Australia.

Warner Music said to be near deal to be sold New York Times News Service The Warner Music Group is near a sale to an investment vehicle of Len Blavatnik, the Russian-born investor, people briefed on the matter said Wednesday, as the auction process for the large music label was drawing to a close.

The offer by Blavatnik’s Access Industries values Warner Music at more than $3 billion, these people said, cautioning that no deal has been finalized and that other bidders may emerge on top.

Warner Music’s board is scheduled to meet today to select the winning bid, these people said.

Among the other potential suitors in the race are a pair of brothers, Tom and Alec Gores, who run their own private equity firms, these people said.

Several others participated in the bidding as well, including the billionaire Ronald Burkle; a group led by Sony/ATV Music Publishing; and BMG. But Blavatnik had been seen by many as a leading candidate from the beginning.

A 2009 study by the International Energy Agency estimated the world holds nearly as much gas recoverable through new techniques like shale gas, or another known as coal-bed methane, as through the traditional sort obtained by conventional drilling. The agency estimated there might be 380 trillion cubic meters of natural gas that could be recovered through these new techniques, compared with 404 trillion cubic meters obtainable through traditional means.

The energy agency has also predicted that unconventionally produced gas will rise from 12 percent of the global total in 2008 to 19 percent in 2035.

Although Ukraine already produces some natural gas by conventional means, it remains highly dependent on imports from Russia’s state-owned gas monopoly, Gazprom, the world’s biggest producer. Twice in the last five years, Gazprom has halted supplies to Ukraine country in politically tinged pricing disputes.

And yet, as a legacy of the Soviet era, Ukraine controls the pipelines through which Gazprom transports its natural gas to its Europe. It is a mutual dependence that at times seems more like a standoff: Russia has the gas; Ukraine has the pipes.

Ukraine, by finding a greater source of its own natural gas, would be hoping to reduce Russia’s leverage in that relationship.

The shale gas industry, for its part, could erode Russia’s once seemingly untouchable monopoly pricing power on natural gas, if the industry can duplicate Fort Worth-scale results from a belt of shale deposits in Poland and Ukraine that in some cases lie right under the pipelines carrying Gazprom’s gas.

Right now, Russia produces about 40 percent of the natural gas imported into the EU, selling it mostly under long-term con-

tracts that are linked to the price of oil — which has been soaring lately.

Self-sufficiency Ukraine has four major, largely unexplored shale deposits, according to Valerii Berezhnoi, chief geologist for Vikoil, a Ukrainian seismic exploration company studying unconventional natural gas deposits.

Nobody pretends to know how much gas they might hold. But as energy companies speculate on Ukraine’s potential, they point to the deposits that lie under Fort Worth, called the Barnett Shale.

Production from Barnett has grown in a decade from almost nothing to 133 million cubic metersa day. That is more than the approximately 109 million cubic meters that Ukraine imports a day from Russia.

Signaling a shift toward support for shale gas development, Ukraine’s minister of energy and coal, Yuri Boiko, met with U.S. shale gas executives in Houston this year and announced a once far-fetched sounding goal for Ukraine to become self-sufficient in natural gas.

“We understand that American science is rich in this field,” Boiko told an audience of mostly Western energy company executives at a conference on shale gas in Kiev last month — the first such gathering for the industry in Ukraine.

“We would like to attract this technology, and we would like to attract partners,” he added.

ExxonMobil, which bolstered its unconventional gas expertise with the purchase of the U.S. shale developer XTO last June, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ukrainian government earlier this year, formalizing negotiations to begin exploring or drilling. XTO was a pioneer of the Barnett shale play under Fort Worth. Ukrainian officials are now in similar talks with Chevron and Shell.

Whistle-blower suit alleges fraud in U.S. bailout of AIG

By Mary Williams Walsh New York Times News Service

The first known whistleblower lawsuit to assert that the taxpayers were defrauded when the federal government bailed out the American International Group was unsealed Friday, joining a number of suits seeking to settle the score on losses related to the financial crisis of 2008.

The lawsuit, filed by a pair of veteran political activists from the La Jolla area of San Diego, asserts that AIG and two large banks engaged in a variety of fraudulent and speculative transactions, running up losses well into the billions of dollars.

Then the three institutions persuaded the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to bail them out by giving AIG two rescue loans, which were used to unwind hundreds of failed trades.

The loans were improper, the lawsuit says, because the Fed made them without getting a

pledge of high-quality collateral from AIG, as required by law.

“To cover losses of those engaged in fraudulent financial transactions is an authority not yet given to the Fed board,” said the plaintiffs, Derek and Nancy Casady, in their complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

The lawsuit names AIG, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank as defendants, but not the Fed. Senior Fed officials have stated repeatedly that they had to take unusual steps in 2008 because the global financial system was close to breaking down. The Casadys’ lawyer, Michael J. Aguirre, argued that even so, the Fed was required to comply with its own governing statutes. He said that when the Fed bailed out a nonbank, it was required to secure the loan with the same liquid, high-quality collateral it required when lending to a troubled bank.

Debt

payments, interest on the debt, unemployment benefits and tax refunds,” he wrote.

A range of experts, including the Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke; former Treasury officials from both political parties; and economists from across the ideological spectrum, warn that missing payments would be catastrophic. In particular, they say, investors would view Treasury debt as risky and Washington would be forced to pay higher interest rates.

The government plans to borrow $405 billion during the second half of 2011. If rates increased even a tenth of a percentage point, the added cost on those borrowings would be $405 million a year.

Many Republicans dismiss these warnings. They argue the government could maintain the confidence of investors by prioritizing interest payments. There is ample revenue to make those payments, and the Republicans — also backed by economists and financial experts — say investors would not punish the government for failing to fulfill other financial obligations.

“I think the important thing to do would be to make it clear to markets that the government is not going to default on its debt,” said Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., who is sponsoring a bill that assigns priority to interest payments. “It would be easy, I think, to make it clear to the markets that they don’t have to worry about this.”

Treasury officials respond that the failure to pay any obligations would set off a crisis.

“What participant in the market would want to buy our debt as we are defaulting on other obligations?” asked Miller. “I think the markets would be completely spooked.”

Continued from B2 Republicans and some Democrats insist that an increase in the debt ceiling must be accompanied by concrete limits on future spending, entangling an issue that requires urgent attention with a debate unlikely to be resolved before the 2012 elections.

“When I talk to investors, their general reaction is they’ve seen this movie before. They expect that Congress will increase the debt ceiling,” said Mary Miller, assistant Treasury secretary for financial markets. “But I’m concerned because the stakes are higher here and the amount of time we can buy with extraordinary measures is smaller.”

The debt ceiling basically is the credit limit on the national credit card, the maximum amount that can be owed at any one time. The government hits the limit with some regularity because federal spending vastly exceeds its revenue.

Over the years, Congress always has raised the limit; after all, it ordered the government to spend the money.

When the current limit is reached May 16, after the Treasury completes its latest round of borrowing, the government will need to find $125 billion a month to pay its bills.

The Treasury estimates that it can avoid a crisis until early August with few if any lasting consequences by spending about $100 billion in cash that it keeps on deposit with the Federal Reserve, the nation’s central bank, and by temporarily suspending $232 billion in special-purpose borrowing programs so it can instead borrow money to finance general operations.

Market reaction So far, investors have shown no signs of concern. Moreover, the market reaction to past standoffs suggests that investors have learned over time to ignore the theatrics in Washington.

Investors demanded risk premiums of as much as half a

Warnings The Treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, warned Congress in an April letter that once those resources were exhausted, the government would be forced to default.

“A broad range of government payments would have to be stopped, limited or delayed, including military salaries and retirement benefits, Social Security and Medicare

percentage point during a confrontation in 1995 and 1996 between House Republicans and the Clinton administration. They demanded smaller risk premiums during standoffs in 2002 and 2003, according to research

by Pu Liu, a finance professor at the University of Arkansas. But during more recent standoffs in 2005 and 2006, Liu found no evidence of any risk premium.

Investors, he wrote, have taken to treating Washington “like the boy that cried wolf.”

Of course, investors were more sanguine about risk in 2006 than they are now.

But even if markets do remain calm, the cost of a standoff will rise sharply when Treasury exhausts its current measures around Aug. 2.

Then the government could stave off default for a time by selling assets. The United States owns about $402 billion in gold at Monday’s prices and about $81 billion in oil. It holds a portfolio of loans estimated to total $923 billion by September, including more than $100 billion in mortgage-backed securities it is selling slowly to investors, and more than $400 billion in college student loans.

Administration officials, however, say such a fire sale would amount to a modest grace period bought at extravagant and wasteful expense. It would not change the fundamental need for Congress to raise the debt ceiling.

A more likely approach would borrow a page from the Clinton administration, which threatened in early 1996 to suspend Social Security payments for a month.

Congress immediately passed special legislation permitting the government to borrow the necessary money without counting it against the debt ceiling for one month. One day shy of a month later, Congress permanently raised the ceiling.

A behavioral toolbox for financial advisers

By Jeff Sommer

Shlomo Benartzi, a behavioral economist at the University of California, Los Angeles, is the author of a study that draws on the findings of behavioral economics to make recommendations for financial advisers.

New York Times News Service

Your stock portfolio has been climbing like a rocket, and you’re beginning to think that your financial adviser is a genius.

Then he tells you he’s not. “It was just luck,” he says.

That oil stock, the one that jumped 80 percent? A good pick, sure — but he had no idea it was that good. “It was a surprise,” he says. “Don’t count on it happening again.”

Disappointing? Maybe. But it sounds like the truth, and that may mean that the rest of what he says is true, too. This kind of selfdeprecation may not be standard patter for financial advisers, but Shlomo Benartzi, a behavioral economist at the University of California, Los Angeles, says it should be.

In order to build trust and credibility, Benartzi suggests, advisers should come right out with the truth, especially when it’s ugly. If advisers have been merely lucky — or have made recommendations that were outright failures — they should come clean about it, he says. Such admissions may be off-putting initially, he said in an interview, but as long as they are followed by a clear description of what an adviser is doing well — assuming, of course, that something is being done well — candor is good business.

“From a behavioral standpoint, it’s really better for your credibility if you’re honest,” Benartzi said. If you don’t take credit when the market rises, for example, you may not have to take responsibility when it goes down.

In a new study for Allianz Global Investors, a unit of Allianz, the financial giant, he draws on the broad findings of behavioral economics to make some startling recommendations for advisers.

The paper — which assumes that most advisers are honest and won’t use their newly acquired psychological acumen to exploit clients — is titled “Behavioral Finance in Action: Psychological Challenges in the Financial Adviser/Client Relationship and Strategies to Solve Them.”

‘Intuitive minds’ Behavioral economics holds that individuals do not necessarily act rationally and in their own self-interest. Instead, they make intuitive decisions that may be swayed by phenomena like “framing.” Far more people are likely to buy a package of cold cuts, for example, if it’s framed, or labeled, as “90 percent fat-free” than if it’s labeled “containing 10 percent fat.”

The paper opens what it calls the “behavioral finance toolbox” for advisers, explaining how to overcome obstacles posed by investors’ “intuitive minds.”

For example, research by Benartzi and Richard Thaler, an economics professor at the University of Chicago — and a regular contributor to The Times’ Sunday Business — found that people were generally likely to save more if asked to “precommit” to doing so in the future. Their findings have been incorporated in many

New York Times News Service

401(k) plans.

By agreeing to deduct a certain amount of money from your paycheck starting next Jan. 1 and to increase the deduction every New Year’s Day thereafter, you can procrastinate — you needn’t do anything now — yet increase your savings substantially. And if those increases coincide with raises, your take-home pay won’t decline, avoiding “the mind’s hypersensitivity to loss,” the paper says. You can also opt out freely — which may make you more comfortable with the plan in the first place.

Resisting temptation The new paper takes precommitment strategies much further, advocating, for example, a “Ulysses contract” — or a “commitment memorandum” that spells out what to do when the markets move 25 percent up or down. The adviser and the investor are both supposed to sign it — agreeing in advance, perhaps, to buy more stocks in a market plunge, and not to sell. Conversely, when markets soar, they may be committed to selling overvalued stocks, not buying more of them — rebalancing the portfolio to restore an agreed-upon asset mix.

The concept of resisting temptation this way is at least as old Homer. In “The Odyssey,” Ulysses had his crew bind him to the mast and agree in advance to ignore his entreaties before sailing near the Sirens, whose songs were irresistible. It worked for Ulysses.

Whether contemporary investors are ready for the strategy is another question.

“The idea is great, but it may be a little aggressive for many people,” said Bud Pernoll, senior managing director of Bay Mutual Financial, an independent financial advisory firm in Santa Monica, Calif. Many individuals and some companies will balk at signing a “contract” that might seem to limit their flexibility, he said, even though the strategy makes a lot of sense.

Pernoll is a fan of behavioral fi-

nance and its concepts, but he says the field is in its infancy and is just beginning to be absorbed by financial practitioners.

The Ulysses contract is deliberately provocative, Benartzi said.

It “forces you to think in advance — both adviser and client — and put a plan in writing and explain, when you’re tempted to take an action, how it fits into your plan.”

Ethical questions The paper gives advisers tips for enhancing their credibility.

They should display their credentials prominently on the wall — this makes their recommendations more believable, the paper says. And they should present the downside of an investment strategy before explaining its benefits.

“By talking about the downside first,” the paper says, “the financial adviser is displaying honesty that elicits a greater willingness in the listener.”

In the wrong hands, of course, such insights could be quite dangerous, said Barbara Roper, director of invester protection for the Consumer Federation of America.

Behavioral economics can teach an adviser bent on enriching himself how to more skillfully push an investor’s buttons.

Advisers have many different backgrounds and credentials, and work under different ethical guidelines: No universal fiduciary standard requires all advisers to put investors’ interests first. That could change: As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission has studied the issue and recommended the creation of such a universal standard. But it has not taken final action.

Cathy Smith, co-director of the Allianz Global Investors Center for Behavioral Finance, says the company hasn’t taken a position on the issue. Benartzi, on the other hand, says he favors “having more consistency in the credentials” of financial advisers as well as “a requirement that they should first and foremost do what’s right for the client.”

Plan for nursing care before it’s needed

By Dan Serra McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The prospect of putting a parent in a nursing home is stressful enough without worrying about how to pay for it. But preparing well in advance can make the decision easier.

The first step in creating a care plan is to divide the tasks among family members. Each child should be given an assignment, such as: • Interview nursing home staff for details on cost and services; • Work with a financial planner to create a strategy for managing expenses and assets; • Meet with an attorney to structure legal documents.

When shopping for nursing homes, each one should be carefully evaluated on costs and services. Each home has its own pricing plan and what is included, or not included, in that price. All nursing homes are not

a “one price for all” service. Each home should provide pricing and services in writing. In addition, obtain a copy of the contract and have an attorney specializing in elder law review it first. Never sign a blank contract.

A financial planner can help a family anticipate financial needs and resources. Unfortunately, no one knows the number of years a parent will live, which makes planning difficult. But once the nursing home is chosen and the doctor has estimated medical or drug needs, the planner can use these costs to be more precise.

The planner should create an annual budget for the parent and detail how assets would be most efficiently withdrawn to meet expenses. A net worth statement should list any annuities, pensions, trusts or benefits the parent is entitled to receive. The planner should also be knowledgeable of Social Security ben-

efits and Medicaid planning in case the parent runs out of money. A fee-only planner is a good choice to receive unbiased advice and avoid potential solicitation of product sales. All the children should attend the plan meeting so that all agree on the strategy.

The attorney has an important role in making sure legal documents give a child or children authority to act on the parent’s behalf. This is important to make medical decisions and prove to the bank or investment company that the child can make transactions for the parent, usually by power of attorney. If the parent is wealthy, the attorney could also offer strategies for avoiding estate taxes now and in the future.

Putting a parent in a home is not an overnight event. Getting organized — and getting all the siblings on the same page first — eases the process and prevents disputes.

Jobs Continued from B1 “I’m looking for something to fill a gap from now until July 1, when I go back Alaska,” Langliers said. His work there will last until October.

Nick Beleiciks, Oregon employment economist, said the number of people working in the construction industry has plummeted from a peak of 104,200 in 2007 to 67,800 in 2010.

“About a third of the people who used to work construction in Oregon have moved on to other types of work or taken jobs out of state, like this guy (Langeliers) did,” Beleiciks said.

Overall, however, Beleiciks said the total number of Oregonians who live in the state but work out of state was listed as 42,000 in the U.S. Census Bureau report for 2007, and was unchanged in 2009. He said the Census Bureau has not released numbers yet for 2010 out-of-state employment.

Small-cap Continued from B1 Small-cap stocks are typically defined as companies with a market value of $300 million to $2 billion. The current average market cap of the index is $1.4 billion. The five largest sectors represented are financial services, technology, consumer discretionary, producer durables, and health care.

That value of the Russell 2000 represents 8 percent of the total stock market. By comparison, the S&P 500 represents about 75 percent, which is why those stocks anchor 401(k) and other retirement accounts.

Carolyn Eagan, regional economist at the WorkSource Oregon Employment office in Bend, said the latest job numbers bode well for people like Langeliers who are looking for seasonal work in Central Oregon this spring.

The March job numbers reported April 18 showed Crook County added 30 jobs, Jefferson County added 10 jobs and Deschutes County posted a big increase of 950 jobs, 350 more than the usual during the month of March, Eagan said.

“We typically expect 600 jobs to be added, so we were up by 350 jobs. Hopefully that bodes well,” Eagan said.

In Deschutes County, the biggest job increases included the addition of 160 jobs in retail; 100 in the financial activity sector, which includes real estate and financial services; 140 in professional and business services such as lawyers, accountants and tax preparers; 140 in education and health services; and 100 in hospital and professional medical services.

Eagan said it will be interesting to see whether Central Oregon’s strong March job gains continue when the Employment Department issues its report on April job numbers, which is due May 24.

If the April job numbers are up above the normal seasonal job gains, Eagan said it could signal the beginning of an economic recovery trend for the region.

“But like I always say, we need three months for a trend,” Eagan said, meaning if higher-thannormal seasonal job gains continue through May, then she and other economists will be able to call it a definite recovery trend.

Langeliers said Tuesday he loves the adventure of guiding fishing and bear hunting expeditions in Alaska, but he’ll be happy when the construction industry rebounds enough that he can stay closer to home and build houses again.

benefited from low interest rates.

Smaller companies are more likely to rely on borrowing, and low rates can really help a bottom line.

the place to be.”

Another risk: Expectations that the U.S. dollar will remain weak as the federal government continues to struggle with debt.

The weak dollar makes U.S. products more affordable to foreign buyers. That’s crucial for fueling sales at big companies with foreign customers, but smaller companies are naturally less likely to sell overseas.

Finally, a rise in interest rates will hurt small-caps. With shortterm rates near zero, there’s nowhere to go but up.

Q: A:

How long have small-cap stocks been outperforming large-cap stocks?

Small-cap stocks have outperformed large-caps for most of the last 11 years. Their current dominance outlasts a 9-year small-cap run that started in 1974. Typically, small- or large-caps swap the lead every few years, rather than every decade or so.

Q: A:

Can small-caps keep this up?

Many market pros say the small-cap advantage is about to end. They argue smallcap stocks have risen so high that they’re unjustifiably expensive, considering the profits they’re expected to generate.

Q: A:

Is the index still near its high?

The Russell 2000 closed Wednesday at 832.9 points, after hitting an all-time high of 868.6 on Monday. Last Wednesday, the index broke its previous record of 856.5, reached on July 13, 2007.

Q: A:

What are current risks for small-cap stocks?

They could be hit harder than large-caps if the economic recovery hits a dead-end, says Moser, the small-cap fund manager. Smaller companies offer fewer products and services, and have less cash on hand to tap if the economy skids.

In a down market, investors want to own larger companies, “because they usually have fortress balance sheets and the ability to weather the downturn,” Moser says. “But when the economy is growing, small-caps are

Q: A:

Why has the Russell 2000 climbed so high?

Small-cap stocks tend to be among the first to rise when the economy rebounds. That’s because these companies are more nimble operationally, and generally invest in their growth as a recovery gains momentum. Indeed small-caps came back faster than large-cap stocks when the recession ended, and as the market turned the corner.

Small-cap stocks have also

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, May 5, 2011 B5

Intel Continued from B1 (By comparison a human red blood cell is 7,500 nanometers in width and a strand of DNA is 2.5 nanometers.) “Intel is on track for 22-nanometer manufacturing later this year,” said Mark Bohr, an Intel senior fellow and the scientist who has overseen the effort to develop the next generation of smaller transistors.

The company’s engineers said that they now felt confident that they would be able to solve the challenges of making chips through at least the 10-nanometer generation, which is likely to happen in 2015.

Moore’s law The timing of the announcement Wednesday is significant, Bohr said, because it is evidence that the world’s largest chipmaker is not slipping from the pace of doubling the number of transistors that can be etched onto a sliver of silicon every two years, a phenomenon known as Moore’s Law. Although not a law of physics, the 1965 observation by Intel’s co-founder, Gordon Moore, has defined the speed of innovation for much of the world’s economy. It has also set the computing industry apart from other types of manufacturing because it has continued to improve at an accelerating rate, offering greater computing power and lower cost at regular intervals.

However, despite its promise and the company’s bold claims, Intel’s 3-D transistor is still a controversial technology within the chip industry. Indeed, a number of the company’s competitors say they believe that Intel is taking what could be a disastrous multibillion-dollar gamble on an unproven technology.

Q: A:

Why might the small-cap rally still have legs?

Small-caps could increasingly become buyout targets of bigger companies looking to dip into cash hoards that have grown to record levels. S&P 500 companies have $940 billion on hand, with nearly one-third of that stash accumulated since late 2008. Expect stocks of acquisition targets to surge when deals happen.

Renovation Continued from B1 The roof renovation is the top priority for the project, and if money is left over, the district would like to make other improvements, such as add insulation, do exterior brick work and restore decorative cast-stone medallions on the top corners.

“A lot of them have just spilled off over the years and have disintegrated due to water damage,” Slaybough said.

The building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was completed and

Q: A:

Are there index mutual funds or exchange-traded funds that track the Russell 2000?

Yes. ETFs that track the index include the iShares Russell 2000 Index (IWM) and the Vanguard Russell 2000 Index (VTWO).

Of course, plenty of small-cap mutual funds hold many Russell 2000 stocks. If you’re looking to hold a diverse group of small-cap stocks in a managed fund, consider those categorized as smallcap blend, or small-cap core.

There has been industry speculation that Finfet technology will give Intel a clear speed advantage, but possibly less control over power consumption than alternative approaches.

By opting for a technology that emphasizes speed over low power, Intel faces the possibility that it could win the technology battle and yet lose the more important battle in the marketplace. The scope of Intel’s gamble is underscored by the fact that while the company dominates in the markets for data center computers, desktops and laptops, it has largely been locked out of the tablet and smartphone markets, which are growing far more quickly than the traditional PC industry. Those devices use ultra-low-powered chips to conserve battery power and reduce overheating.

Apple, for example, uses Intel’s microprocessors for its desktops and laptops, but for the iPhone and iPad it has chosen to use a rival low-power design, built by others, that Apple originally helped pioneer in the late 1980s.

Gaining an edge Industry executives and analysts have said that Intel is likely to have a lead of a full generation over its rivals in the shift to 3-D transistors. For example, TSMC, the Taiwan-based chipmaker, has said that it does not plan to deploy Finfet transistor technology for another two years.

Other companies, like ST Microelectronics, are wagering that an alternative technology based on placing a remarkably thin insulating layer below traditional transistors will chart a safer course toward the next generation of chip manufacturing. They believe that the insulation approach will excel in lowpower applications, and that

Through the years, it has contained or functioned as a community gym, a reading room, a high school gym, a headquarters for Boy Scouts and a hall for the American Legion.

In 1993, the school district voted to use $55,000 to put a new roof on the building. Starting around 1995, the Bend Park & Recreation District Foundation raised more than $2 million to finance further renovation of the building, mostly inside, Crowther said. Renovation work was completed by 1999, and more than $85,000 left over went into a capital maintenance reserve fund

could be a crucial advantage in consumer-oriented markets where a vast majority of popular products are both hand-held and battery-powered.

“Silicon-on-insulator could be a win in terms of power efficiency,” said David Lammers, the editor-in-chief of Semiconductor Manufacturing and Design Community, a website.

“From what I am hearing from the SOI camp, there is a consensus and concession that Finfets are faster. That’s the way you want to go for leading-edge performance.”

Catching up In a factory tour here last week, Intel used a scanning electronic microscope to display a computer chip made using the new 22-nanometer manufacturing process. Viewed at a magnification of more than 100,000 times, the silicon fins are clearly visible as a series of walls projected above a flat surface. It is possible to make transistors out of one or a number of the tiny fins to build switches that have different characteristics, such as faster switching speeds or extremely low power. Looking at the chip under less magnification, it is possible to see the wiring design, which appears much like a street map displaying millions of intersections.

Despite the impressive display, Intel’s executives acknowledge the challenge the company is facing in trying to catch up in the new consumer markets that so far have eluded it.

“The ecosystem right now is not aligned in our favor,” said Andy Bryant, Intel’s chief administrative officer, who now runs the company’s technology and manufacturing group. “It has to be good enough for the ecosystem to take notice and say, ‘We better pay attention to those guys.’ ”

through the foundation.

Those dollars have since accrued to more than $100,000.

The park district is adding $150,000, for a total of around $250,000.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend has been in the building since 1999, Crowther said.

Derek Beauvais, club director of the Boys & Girls Club of Bend, said the club expects renovations to start later this month or in early June and to wrap up by summertime.

By William Selway and Martin Z. Braun Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — UBS, Switzerland’s largest bank, agreed Wednesday to pay $160.2 million to settle charges it rigged bids on at least 100 U.S. municipalbond transactions that generated “millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains.”

UBS will pay $47.2 million to settle Securities and Exchange Commission charges and $113 million to end cases brought by other federal and state authorities, the SEC said. Some of the money will be returned to municipalities, the SEC said.

The settlement agreements, which involved 25 states, are part of criminal and civil investigations into a conspiracy by financial firms and municipal advisers to overcharge state and local governments for investment products. UBS’ activity threatened the tax-exempt status of $16.5 billion of municipal bonds, the SEC said.

“Our complaint against UBS reads like a ‘how-to’ primer for bid-rigging and securities fraud,” Elaine Greenberg, chief of the SEC’s Municipal Securities and Public Pensions Unit, said in a statement. “They used secret arrangements and multiple roles to win business and defraud municipalities through the repeated use of illegal courtesy bids, last looks for favored bidders, and money to bidding agents disguised as swap payments.”

The bank is the second to settle charges in the government’s more-than-four-year antitrust investigation into bid rigging for investments states and cities make with proceeds from the $400 billion of bonds they sell yearly. Last year, Bank of America agreed to pay $137 million in restitution.

The allegations Localities routinely hire advisers to invest bond proceeds at the highest returns offered by banks and insurers until the money is needed for public works. The U.S. Justice Department alleges financial companies paid kickbacks to advisers to run sham auctions so they could win the public money to invest at below-market rates.

Prosecutors say bankers covered their activity by submitting phony bids in auctions won by their rivals and using separate derivative contracts to funnel payments to advisers.

The SEC’s complaint said UBS illicitly won bids as a provider of municipal-bond investment contracts and also rigged bids for the benefit of other banks. In some cases, UBS gave favored banks information on competing bids when it acted as a broker, the SEC alleged, while in other cases it won bids after receiving inside information.

“UBS is pleased to have resolved this matter with its regulators,” the Zurich-based company said in a statement. “The underlying transactions were entered into in a business that no longer exists at UBS and involved employees who are no longer with the firm.”

UBS said the settlement costs were accounted for in previous quarters and won’t affect future results.

Since October 2009, nine advisers to local governments and bankers working for financial firms including UBS, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, pleaded guilty in the case.

Nine others have pleaded not guilty and are fighting charges in court.

Last year, former UBS banker Mark Zaino pleaded guilty to fixing prices when brokering municipal-investment deals by submitting intentionally losing bids at auctions run by Los Angelesbroker CDR Financial Products.

UBS allegedly entered into separate trades with another bank that were used to funnel kickbacks to CDR. Zaino agreed to cooperate in the investigation.

The Justice Department also indicted the former co-head of UBS’s municipal derivatives group and two colleagues.

NEWS OF RECORD PERMITS City of Bend

By Chris V. Nicholson New York Times News Service

Glencore, the world’s largest trader of commodities, on Wednesday prepared the stage for a $10 billion initial public offering this month, setting a price range and placing nearly a third of the offering with sovereign wealth funds and hedge funds.

The offering will make Glencore’s chief executive, Ivan Glasenberg, extremely wealthy: His 18.1 percent stake in the company would be worth $9.5 billion at the mid-point of the offering’s price range.

Glencore International, which is based in Baar, Swit-

zerland, said it expected to sell shares in London at 480 pence to 580 pence a share, which at the midpoint values the company at $60 billion.

It also plans to sell shares in Hong Kong.

The company said that 31 percent of the offer, or $3.1 billion in shares, had already been subscribed to by “cornerstone” investors, who are locked in for six months after the offer.

Glencore deals in metals like gold and copper, as well as coal and oil. It also produces many of the commodities at its own mines and holds about a one-third stake in the global miner Xstrata.

Countywide belt-tightening will reduce facility’s budget by 30%

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Deschutes County commissioners said Wednesday they support a plan to continue paying The Central Oregon Environmental Center in the upcoming budget year to provide education and community outreach aimed at reducing waste and increasing recycling.

The plan will, however, cut spending on the center by approximately 30 percent, from $150,000 to $100,000 for one year. The Department of Solid Waste made the cut in response to concerns from the

county commission. The department and the nonprofit center worked together to trim spending on programs that were deemed less effective and keep the best ones, Timm Schimke, director of the Department of Solid Waste, wrote in an e-mail.

Supported by fees The money comes from the county’s Department of Solid Waste, which is supported with fees paid by garbage and recycling companies and members of the public who take waste to

Knott Landfill.

“I like this,” Commissioner Alan Unger said. “I think the public wants us to relook at what we’re doing and re-evaluate it. That’s what we’re doing here.”

Unger said The Central Oregon Environmental Center provides a good program.

Staff reduction likely Mike Riley, executive director of The Central Oregon Environmental Center, said Tuesday the cuts would force the nonprofit to reduce staffing and cut back on the time spent on programs. Specific staff cutbacks are yet to be determined.

Schimke told the commissioners Wednesday that the county had not measured the

impact of the center’s programs on the amount of material kept out of Knott Landfill, either through recycling or waste prevention.

In an e-mail to The Bulletin on Wednesday, Schimke said it is difficult to measure because of the many factors that affect recycling rates. For example, population growth prior to the recession was a major factor in the amount of waste that was recycled.

“We saw substantial increases in tons diverted, but could not say it was because of any specific thing we did,” Schimke wrote. “Any positive or negative impact from one program could be completely overshadowed by the simple fact of increased population.”

The block of Wall Street between Oregon and Minnesota avenues will be closed for the festival starting at 6 a.m.

Thursday. The closure will prevent the use of 35 parking spaces. Motorists bound for the Tower Theatre for the Brandi Carlile show may access the block of Wall Street between Minnesota and Franklin avenues by turning left onto Wall from Minnesota. The closed block of Wall Street will reopen about midnight.

Eddy Ostrander, left, and Brian Little, both with Action Pride Cabinets, lift a tabletop into position during construction in the Deschutes County Commissioners Hearing Room in Bend on Tuesday morning.

The county is installing a dais for the commissioners, along with video equipment. The technology will allow the county to stream meetings live and on-demand over the Internet, said Information Technology Director Joe Sadony.

The equipment, including new flat-screen monitors, will cost approximately $40,000.

Previously, the county has used an overhead projector for slide presentations during meetings. However, the dais gets in the way of the projector and government bodies are switching

to flat screens as a more modern option, Sadony said.

The dais is being added in response to concerns expressed by the county commissioners, County Administrator Dave Kanner said.

“With the dais at floor level, if we have any kind of crowd in the room, the people in the audience can’t see the people at the dais, unless you’re sitting in the front two rows,” Kanner said.

The project will cost approximately $62,000, Deschutes County Property & Facilities Director Susan Ross wrote in an e-mail. The county is paying for the work with property taxes and one-time revenue saved up in a special fund for capital projects.

The Crook County School District is good with change, but its is facing some unknowns as the May 17 election draws near.

The district has adapted in the past to budget cuts and will be asked to do so again in the upcoming school year. A new super intendent also starts this summer.

But the potential change of two positions on the school board weighs heavily because no candidates have filed, and the seats likely will be filled by write-in votes.

The two positions are currently filled by Rich Mires, representing the southeast section of the county, and Mark Severson, board chairman and representative for the county’s southwest zone.

Mires said he is considering accepting re-election by write-in but only on a temporary basis.

“I’m wavering right now,” Mires said. “There are a number of people who want me to stay on, and I guess since no one has stepped forward I would probably accept the position for a period of time.”

But Mires said he doesn’t intend to serve for the full fouryear term and would expect the board to eventually find a replacement.

Severson said a change in residency will likely keep him from continuing.

Both Mires and Severson said they consider the positions important to the community. They also agreed the district board isn’t the easiest to serve on.

“It’s a tough spot to be in, but it’s a spot that needs to have someone good in it,” Severson said. “(The board is) heading in the right direction, and they need to keep that direction going.”

It’s no secret the district has seen troubles in the past. Faced with declining revenues, the board has made cuts to employees, benefits, school days and athletics.

In the current budgeting process, the board is being asked to approve more cuts, including removing grades from Paulina Elementary School, to close the gap on a multimillion-dollar shortfall.

CINCO DE MAYO Ne

The Bulletin

Event’s weekday traffic closure a first for Bend

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

An all-new Cinco de Mayo event will close a section of Wall Street through downtown Bend today.

The event, put on by Amalia’s restaurant and C3 Events, will be held on the block of Wall Street between Oregon and Minnesota avenues. The closure will be in effect between 6 a.m. and midnight, although music and other festivities will not begin until 4:30 p.m.

Bend City Recorder Patty Stell said public notification of the event was spotty, prompting the city to send out an advisory Wednesday afternoon. The Cinco de Mayo event planners received approval for the street closures in early April, accord-

ing to Steve Esselstyn from the Bend Police Department.

With summer on the way, downtown streets will be closed for a variety of public events with increasing regularity.

On Wednesday, the Bend City Council approved a change to the city’s code governing downtown street closures. The city will continue to maintain an official limit of three closures per month in July and August and two for all other months, but the council will now have the authority to approve exceptions for additional events.

The change comes in response to a request from Deschutes Brewery for the “Sagebrush Street Fare,” which will close one block of Oregon Avenue on the afternoon of July

13, a Wednesday. The event is billed as a benefit for local nonprofit organizations.

Esselstyn said today’s Cinco de Mayo event is unusual. Street closures on weekdays are rare outside of public holidays like the parade held each Veterans Day. He said the most recent he can recall was on Inauguration Day 2005, a Thursday, when the city approved a permit for a political protest marking the beginning of George W. Bush’s second presidential term.

Esselstyn said that as far as he knows, today will be the first all-day closure of a downtown street on a weekday.

A lawsuit brought by former Deschutes County prosecutors has prompted the county to hire a new group of outside defense attorneys.

In the lawsuit filed last month, three prosecutors allege that Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty, the county commissioners and county government engaged in wrongful discharge, sexual discrimination, unfair labor practices and violations of their First Amendment rights to free speech and association. The three former deputy district attorneys were among five Flaherty fired upon taking office in January.

Ethics rules bar the county’s own attorneys from representing officials in this matter, since county attorneys could be called as witnesses regarding the county’s dealings with the deputy district attorneys union, of which the fired prosecutors were members.

On April 25, County Administrator Dave Kanner signed a contract with Portland attorney Peter Mersereau and other attorneys at the same firm. The hourly rates in the contract are $250 for Peter Mersereau, $225 for Thomas McPherson and Karen Vickers, and $185 for Barrett Mersereau.

Bradbury endorses Wu rival The Associated Press SALEM — A top Oregon Democrat and former supporter of Congressman David Wu said Wednesday he will be endorsing the Democratic primary challenger instead, calling Wu “damaged goods.�

Bill Bradbury, a former secretary of state and 2010 gubernatorial candidate, supported Wu’s last re-election campaign and worked for him on several fundraisers. But Bradbury said Wednesday it’s time for a change and he’s throwing his support to Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian.

Bradbury says he is backing Avakian because of controversies over Wu’s erratic behavior leading up to the congressman’s re-election last year. “It’s pretty clear to me we’d have a real challenge holding onto that seat if Mr. Wu winds up winning the primary because I think he really has some significant electoral problems these days,� Bradbury said.

Avakian declared himself a candidate in April amid reports discussing Wu’s mental health and the congressman’s erratic behavior. Wu has acknowledged that his behavior led several key

staffers to quit, but said Wednesday that he was “healthier than (he has) been in a few years.�

Wu has been criticized for giving angry speeches and campaigning inside the secure portion of Portland International Airport. He acknowledged sending e-mails written in the voices of his children and pictures of himself wearing a tiger costume.

The seven-term congressman has blamed his behavior on stress and said he was treated with medication and counseling.

He said he has been focused on the job and not on campaigning.

SALEM — The state House voted Wednesday to overhaul Oregon’s bottle deposit system that is credited with significantly boosting recycling and spawning similar systems around the world.

The vagaries of the bottle bill mean a plastic water or soda bottle would require a deposit, but a nearly identical iced tea bottle would not. Proponents said it’s time to modernize the law so IN THE it applies LEGISLATURE to energy drinks, bottled coffee and other beverages that weren’t around when the measure was first created in 1971.

Lawmakers voted 47-12 to make the deposit system apply to most glass, metal or plastic beverage container except for those that hold milk, wine or liquor. Their vote sends HB 3145 to the Senate.

The provision becomes effective in 2018 or one year after the bottle redemption rate falls below 60 percent, whichever comes first. The redemption rate was 75 percent in 2009, and preliminary data from 2010 show it will probably be slightly lower, said John Andersen, president and chief executive of the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative, which collects bottles recycled through the program.

In a bid to boost participation if it languishes, the bill would increase the current nickel deposit to a dime if bottle redemption is below 80 percent for two consecutive years.

O Consultant contract leads to agency shake-up Senate panel The Associated Press SALEM — A decision to put two top Oregon Department of Administrative Services executives on paid leave involves a contract that allowed a state manager to retire and then return as a $90-an-hour consultant, The Oregonian reported.

The contract did not go through a bidding process and came to light during a legislative hearing on the department’s budget when a worker complained about potential staff layoffs while the consultant re-

ceived thousands each month along with an executive office and travel expenses, according to the Portland newspaper.

Days after the hearing, the contract was abruptly canceled and the department’s new director, former Metro executive Michael Jordan, ordered an investigation.

The consultant, Valerie McBride-Cater, has been paid just under $400,000 since January 2008.

Citing “issues concerning business management practices,” Jordan put Robin Harpster,

head of the agency’s Facilities Division, and her deputy, Scott Young, on paid leave last week.

The questions about the division come as lawmakers are scrutinizing state budgets for savings to help plug a $3.5 billion shortfall.

The Facilities Division manages building operations and maintenance for state government, including purchasing, construction, leasing and sale of state properties in Salem and elsewhere. In total, the division will spend $118 million in its current two-year budget.

State officials have refused to answer questions about the investigation and employees have been told not to speak to reporters.

But Lonn Hoklin, a department spokesman, confirmed Tuesday that cancellation of the contract is “part and parcel of the investigation.”

McBride-Cater’s contract was terminated April 7, although the letter notifying her wasn’t sent until four days later. It was signed by Young, who thanked McBride-Cater for “all your hard work and dedication.”

Fire department spokeswoman Alisa Cour said the derailment forced the evacuation of a half-mile area around the fire. No injuries were reported.

links ‘kicker’ to capital gains The Associated Press SALEM — A state Senate committee voted Wednesday to advance a bill that would ask voters to reduce the “kicker” checks they get when state revenue exceeds projections.

In a compromise to pick up bipartisan support, lawmakers linked the proposed kicker changes to a reduction in capital gains taxes — an idea that could help it get through the Senate but which is likely to get a frosty reception in the House.

The Senate Finance and Revenue Committee sent the proposal to the full Senate on a 4-0 vote.

Corporations and individuals in Oregon get kicker checks when the state collects more in taxes than anticipated. Some lawmakers from both parties say the checks promote volatility in state budgets and make it difficult to save surplus money during good times for use during economic emergencies.

If approved by voters, the Senate proposal in SJR 26 would end kicker checks

for corporations and cut them in half for individuals, sending the money instead to state savings accounts that could only be tapped during economic downturns.

The capital gains proposal would cut taxes in half for income on business assets held for at least five years. It also would reduce capital gains taxes by up to 40 percent on all other businesses.

Train derailment results in blaze, evacuation The Associated Press PORTLAND — A train derailment ignited several tanker cars full of ethanol Wednesday, touching off a massive fire that prompted the evacuation of nearby residents and blocked a major highway for hours.

No injuries were reported, Portland Fire & Rescue spokesman Paul Corah said.

A normally busy stretch of U.S. Highway 30 northwest of Portland was closed for hours and fire officials said a half-mile

area around the blaze was temporarily evacuated Wednesday afternoon.

About 250 firefighters battled the two-alarm blaze, extinguishing it after four hours, Corah said.

National Transportation Safety Board representatives will be sorting out exactly what happened, the fire department spokesman said.

Corah said two freight trains were involved — one carrying mainly logs and the other a 20-

O B

car train that included 12 tanker cars of ethanol.

Two tanker cars — each carrying 28,000 gallons of ethanol — caught fire, as did a freight car from the log train, he said.

The Oregonian reported that a Portland & Western Railroad train, with 59 cars mainly carrying logs, was heading westbound when several cars derailed, according to Mike Williams, a spokesman for Genesee & Wyoming, which owns Port-

land and Western, a short distance carrier.

Williams said the derailed cars then hit part of the 20-car train.

The resulting fire was visible for more than a mile.

Representatives of the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the state Department of Environmental Quality responded to assess the environmental impact due to runoff from the firefighting effort, Corah said.

2 farm bills move ahead to Senate SALEM — Two bills supporting small farms have moved ahead in the Oregon Legislature, one to help beekeepers maintain honey quality and the other to allow farmers to process fewer than 1,000 poultry a year without going to an inspected facility.

The Oregonian reports that both bills were headed to the Senate floor for a final legislative vote after they were earlier passed by the House.

The agriculture group Friends of Family Farmers says the bills would be a boon for hundreds of small farmers across the state.

Supporters of the bill on honey from bees say it will establish quality and identity standards, along with rules on labeling.

House votes to end phone law exception SALEM — Oregon’s law on using a cellphone while driving doesn’t apply to people who use their phone while doing their job.

The state House approved a measure Wednesday that would remove that exemption. The bill would require people to use hands-free headsets while talking on a phone, even if they’re using the phone in the course of their work.

The law does not apply to law enforcement, emergency crews and agricultural workers.

Wash. man sentenced to life in motel murder HOOD RIVER — A Washington state man has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of an Oregon motel owner in the Columbia River Gorge in 2009.

Man charged with sex abuse arrested in S.C. MEDFORD — A 22-year old Southern Oregon man indicted on sex abuse charges has been arrested in South Carolina.

The Oregon State Police said Wednesday that Timothy Joseph Caruthers was arrested April 28 in Colleton County, S.C. State police said Caruthers was indicted April 12 in Oregon by a Jackson County grand jury on eight counts of sexual abuse involving three female victims.

Former officer faces more criminal charges ASTORIA — A former Oregon police officer is facing a new burglary charge after he was convicted of burglary and official misconduct.

Former Clatskanie police officer Joseph Harrison was arrested Tuesday night by Columbia County sheriff’s deputies at his home following an investigation into a burglary near Clatskanie in February.

The 36-year-old Harrison was working for the Clatskanie Police Department in August 2009 when he was arrested on charges involving break-ins at local homes.

He was later convicted on two counts of burglary and one count of official misconduct.

Harrison is on probation for those convictions.

The problem arose in 2007, when local garbage companies shifted from small containers to large recycling bins for local customers. The bins make recycling far easier: Users simply dump all recyclables but glass into them, then roll the bins to the curb along with their garbage bins.

While the garbage bins are emptied weekly, recycling is collected every two weeks, not once a week as the law requires. Yet the system apparently is paying off, law or not. Two years ago, the last period for which information is available, county residents diverted about 45 percent of all the solid waste they generated away from the landfill.

There’s good reason for the switch to larger bins and less frequent collection. Recycling has increased by about 20 percent since the switch, Bruce Bailey of Bend Garbage & Recycling and High Country Disposal told The Bulletin recently. Just as

important, the large bins are safer to handle. They can be emptied mechanically from the truck, while smaller containers must be lifted and emptied by hand.

Then there’s the savings involved in biweekly pickup. Were the garbage companies to have to switch, it would cost them more money than they now spend on the program, and that money would be passed on to consumers. If recycling is a worthwhile goal, the state should see the value of keeping the cost low. Along those same lines, weekly pickup would drive up fuel usage and, with it, pollution.

County officials do believe there may be options other than weekly pickup, says Timm Schimke, who heads the county’s solid waste department. We hope they don’t have to choose among them. The state has good reason to allow the current effort to continue the way it is.

Secrecy change OK’d

by Senate unnecessary

I

t’s one thing for the Legislature to do what’s necessary. It’s another thing to do what’s unnecessary and make it easier for government to keep economic development deals secret.

The Oregon Senate passed a bill Tuesday that was an unnecessary step toward secrecy. All three Central Oregon state senators voted against it — Ted Ferrioli, R-John Day; Chris Telfer, R-Bend; and Doug Whitsett, R-Klamath Falls. The public is going to be stuck for years with economic development deals. It needs to know more, not less.

Senate Bill 437 is about economic development money. Businesses want public money to expand or relocate.

Before the state, a city or a county hands over an incentive check or deal, it needs to ensure a business is worthy. Is the business sound? Will it really create jobs?

Businesses can be anxious about disclosing information. They also do not want to tip off competitors.

Oregon law already allows the state to protect information submitted to its economic development branches from disclosure. And if cities or counties are actively recruiting, they can partner with the state. The state’s exemption to disclosure then extends to them.

What Senate Bill 437 does is expand the exemption to cities, counties

and any of their boards, departments, commissions, councils or agencies.

But if cities and counties can already work with the state, why must the exemption from public disclosure be expanded?

It’s not necessary.

During the testimony on the bill, Jack Isselmann, representing the Oregon Economic Development Association, was asked how many deals the lack of this exemption has killed.

“I don’t think we can sit here and say we have necessarily lost any projects because of the confidentiality provisions,” Isselmann said.

We repeat, the bill is not necessary.

The existing law strikes a restless balance. Oregonians should know how public money is being spent.

They shouldn’t be let in on economic developments deals after they’re basically over.

Under current law, when it comes time for a public body to approve an incentive deal, there is a vote in a public meeting. If the only people who have had a real chance to know if the business is worthy are the few in on the deal, the public is carved out.

Economic development officials argue that’s a necessary trade-off or businesses won’t come. But development officials aren’t paying for the incentives. The public is.

My Nickel’s Worth Support Bend road bond Every time I cross the road at Simpson and Mt. Washington in Bend, I feel as if I am taking my life in my hands. Especially when coming up the hill from Century Drive on Simpson. I have to slowly pull out over the stop line to see if traffic is coming, leaving myself vulnerable to someone cutting short their left turn off of Mt. Washington.

Traffic studies have already shown that most people speed up to over 55 mph coming down that stretch of Mt. Washington from Northwest Crossing.

The intersection with Simpson is not evident coming from this direction. As a result, many accidents have occurred at this intersection, many with injuries.

It is just fortunate that there have been no deaths.

As the population of Bend increases, especially in this area, the traffic will also increase. It is very important that bond Measure 9-83 passes so that the much-needed roundabout at this intersection can become a reality, creating a safe intersection. Vote yes on 9-83.

Oregon needs a state bank Small-business owners and farmers are hurting in our community because they cannot get affordable credit.

While the state of Oregon deposits billions of our tax dollars into the Wall Street banks that crashed our economy, our businesses, farms, students and homeowners cannot get loans. We can change this.

An Oregon state bank, modeled after the successful (90+ years) Bank of North Dakota, could reinvest that money at home and use it to create jobs here. This idea has generated bipartisan support.

A state bank is designed to partner, not compete, with community banks and credit unions to get credit flowing once again. It would reduce costs paid by the state of Oregon for basic banking services and provide an alternative to bank consolidation.

Look into this at www.oregonstate bank.org/speakout. Tell state Sen. Chris Telfer and state Rep. Jason Conger that you support an Oregon state bank. Let’s help each other!

What is a fair share?

Dawn McCauley, in her April 21 My Nickel’s Worth letter, calls for all of us to pay our “fair share of taxes.” Fortysix percent of America does not pay income taxes. Is that their “fair share,” or does fairness only apply to upper-income folks, the 10 percent who already pay most of the tax revenue? And what, exactly, would their fair share be?

Jeff Cole, in an In My View column in the same issue, says he can “see how a tax cut for the poor and middle-class workers pumps more money into the economy ....” Since 46 percent don’t pay taxes, he’ll have to explain how their taxes can be cut. Trust me, Mr. Cole: Taxes can only be cut for those who actually pay them.

Granting driver’s licenses to illegal aliens absurd I recently read with some interest about the Oregon Legislature holding hearings on a proposed law that would allow an illegal alien to obtain an Oregon driver’s license. Am I the only one, or does this seem absurd? These folks are in the United States illegally, and in violation of any of several laws of the United States. If Oregon were to do this, I believe it would create a pipeline for more illegal aliens to come to Oregon for the simple reason they could obtain driver’s licenses and then go anywhere in the United States they wanted and have a legal document. The state of Washington issues these same documents, and those documents have been recovered from illegal aliens committing crimes across the country.

I also believe that the U.S. attorney for Oregon should consider indicting each and every legislator who votes for this law as they would be in violation of Title 8 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, specifically Section 274 (8 U.S. Code 1324), Bringing in and Harboring Certain Aliens. By providing illegal aliens with legal documents, Oregon would be encouraging illegal behavior, quite possibly causing more illegal aliens to come into this country and state, and then not reporting the crime when an illegal alien applies for the Oregon document.

If, however, the state of Oregon is setting up a huge sting to round up these same illegal aliens, then my hat is off to them.

Fewer veterans in Congress has not been for the better

By Herm Meister Bulletin guest columnist

O

ur national population is now over 310.5 million. Congress is made up of 100 seats in the Senate and 435 in the House. Why is it so terribly difficult to find and convince the best and the brightest to lead and serve us? (Although, there are moments following some encounters with my fellow man where I wonder if we are getting exactly what we might deserve.)

As we move anxiously toward another national election (be still, my beating heart) have you seen the list of presidential candidates that the Republican Party has nudged out for us? At the top of some lists is a megalomaniac who makes his fame by saying “You’re fired!” During a recent interview, his main concern was whether or not President Obama was born in the United States. What? Anything else troubling him?

I just finished reading Tom Brokaw’s wonderful book, “The Greatest Gen-

eration.” I paused after reading the words, “They were mature beyond their years, tempered by what they had been through, and disciplined by their military training and sacrifices … They stayed true to their values of personal responsibility, duty, honor and faith.”

They were “united not only by a common purpose, but also common values.”

These are not traits possessed by the majority of members within our current Congress.

While the greatest generation helped rebuild our country after World War II not all veterans who became political leaders possessed admirable traits or perfect vision (getting us into Vietnam is only one example). But on the whole and as a body, political leadership (especially following World War II) seemed to possess a common sense, a feeling of national responsibility (even if at the same time some of them lined their own pockets and were egotistically corrupt).

Now it seems as though many, if not

IN MY VIEW most, of those in office only want to dine at the political trough at our nation’s expense. Our species has developed the very dominant “it’s all about me” gene.

Consider what the following statistics suggest: The 91st Congress (1969-71) included 398 veterans. The 96th Congress (’79-81) 298 veterans. The 111th Congress (’09-2011) 121 veterans (96 in the House and 25 in the Senate). The latest publication from the Congressional Research Service dated March 1, 2011, “Membership of the 112th Congress: A Profile,” reports that in the 100 seats in the Senate and 435 in the House there are 118 politicians who have served or are currently serving in the military (26 in the Senate and 92 in the House).

Within these numbers there are 62 Vietnam veterans (18 in the Senate and 44 in the House).

I’m certainly not suggesting that

military service should be a requirement for someone to serve in Congress.

Far from it. That said, it seems that as the numbers of veterans in Congress has declined so has our level of leadership and political cooperation. For the most part, we are now being governed by members of more recent “privileged generations.” As a majority, they have never had to deal with or, most importantly, solve problems that did not relate to their own personal and narcissistic interests.

I’m ashamed of what being a politician has become. Maybe they mean well but are just too ignorant and selfish to come up with real solutions for the rest of us. I’d try and argue that we deserve and should demand better, but, it’s apparent that we do not, on either topic.

We all want better things for our children and grandchildren, but I’m afraid that they are now on their own. Most young people seem to be too immersed in impersonal electronic technology

and, sadly, parents would rather be friends with their children than be parents. It just seems too complicated and overwhelming at this point to unravel.

It’s apparent we will never learn from history and will continue to repeat our mistakes to the end. I applaud those who still have the energy to try to impart their learned wisdom. I will continue to try to mentor when I feel I have a sincere and appreciative audience.

After all, I’ve learned a great deal from my many mistakes. Our leaders, on the other hand, seem to ignore history.

I recently read where a prominent celebrity described himself as a shortterm pessimist and a long-term optimist. I’m now at that stage of the game.

I know things will get better, but it will likely be many years long after I have left this reality show. I wonder who will be in charge of whatever our nation is called then?

Jackie Cooper, a child star who endured, dies at 88

By Robert D. McFadden New York Times News Service

Jackie Cooper, the pug-nosed kid who became America’s Boy in tear-jerker films of the Great Depression, then survived Hollywood’s notorious graveyard of child stardom and flourished as an adult in television and modern pictures, died Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 88.

His agent, Ronnie Leif, said Cooper died in a hospital after a short illness. He had homes in Beverly Hills and Palm Springs, Calif.

Before the heydays of Shirley Temple and Mickey Rooney, young Jackie, a ragged urchin with a pout and a mischievous half-winked eye, was dreaming up schemes in “Our Gang” comedies and Wallace Beery pictures, like “Treasure Island,” that Hollywood churned out for the rialto.

As Americans flocked to escapist movies, he made $2,000 a week, toured the nation and hobnobbed with Bing Crosby, Tallulah Bankhead and Joan Crawford. At 9 he became the youngest Oscar nominee for best actor (a record that he still holds), in “Skippy” (1931). Later he dated Lana Turner and Judy Garland, and spent weekends on the yacht of MGM’s boss, Louis B. Mayer.

By his late teens, though, he seemed washed up, just another fading child star bound for oblivion and the life of drugs, booze and anonymity that became the fate of many of Hollywood’s forgotten children.

But he got into television in the 1950s, starring in the sitcoms “The People’s Choice” and “Hennesey,” and later became an Emmy-winning director of “M*A*S*H” and other hits; was introduced to a new generation of moviegoers as Perry White, editor of The Daily Planet, in four “Superman” films; and earned his star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

‘Buttons intact’ Along the way he became a Navy musician in World War II and a daredevil race-car driver, was married three times and had four children, made and lost fortunes, and drank heavily and underwent psychiatric treatment. He also ran across the father who had deserted him in infancy — and left without saying a word to him.

“Of all the kid stars, I think I came through with more of my buttons intact,” he wrote in his best-selling memoir, “Please Don’t Shoot My Dog” (1981, with Dick Kleiner), titled after a director’s malicious trick to get him to cry for the cameras when he was 9.

“Rooney is doing well now,” he went on, “but only after eight marriages and a lengthy professional dry spell. Judy Garland and her tortured soul are gone. All the kid stars had a tough row to hoe because the public smothered them with so much love, they couldn’t grow up, and after that, they never could find enough love to flourish.”

It was a strange life on the

borders of fantasy and reality.

He was born John Cooper Jr. in Los Angeles on Sept. 15, 1922, the only son of his namesake and the former Mabel Leonard. He never knew his father, a musician who one night said he was going out for cigarettes and never came back.

Jackie grew up among grasping relations. From age 3, he was dragged down to the studio gates by his grandmother for the chance of $2 and a box lunch for a day’s work as an extra. His mother, a rehearsal pianist for “Fox Movietone Follies of 1929,” got him a singing role when he was 6, and he was soon a pro.

Gaggle of child actors Over the next few years his childhood consisted of shenanigans with a gaggle of child actors under a $1,300-a-week contract. He appeared in 15 Hal Roach “Our Gang” comedies, including “Teacher’s Pet” and “School’s Out” (both 1930) and “Love Business” (1931).

In 1931 he was lent to Paramount to star in “Skippy,” a tale of a clever boy and his dog, directed by his uncle, Norman Taurog, who got him to cry on camera by having his dog dragged off the set and “shot,”

complete with sound effects.

Jackie did not win the Academy Award, but he was catapulted to stardom.

“This youthful player gives a truly remarkable portrayal in a film that is endowed with wholesome amusement and affecting tenderness,” Mordaunt Hall said in The New York Times. “Master Cooper is extraordinarily natural. He awakens sympathy even when he is not strictly obedient, which, it might be said, is more the rule than the exception.”

Magical team with Wallace Beery Besides “Treasure Island” (1934), in which he played Jim Hawkins to Wallace Beery’s crusty Long John Silver, Jackie teamed with Beery in “The Champ” (1931), about a drunken fighter and his son; “The Bowery” (1933); and “O’Shaughnessy’s Boy” (1935).

Fans and Hollywood imagemakers called the team magical, but the magic was only celluloid deep.

“I really disliked him,” Cooper said.

There were more Jackie Cooper films, including “That Certain Age” (1938) with Deanna Durbin, and Fritz Lang’s “Re-

Directing awards He won a directing Emmy in 1974 for “M*A*S*H” and another in 1979 for “The White Shadow.”

He also directed episodes of “McMillan & Wife,” “Quincy,” “The Rockford Files” and other shows. In his four “Superman” films, from 1978 to 1987, it was not hard to see in the aging editor the scrunched-up face of the towheaded child star.

After retiring, he raised thoroughbred horses and appeared occasionally in Hollywood retrospectives.

In his memoir, he recalled his close encounter with the father who had abandoned him. Driving cross-country in 1951, he stopped at a garage. A mechanic recognized him and said that his father, John Cooper Sr., lived upstairs, had pictures of him and often spoke of him with pride.

“Let me tell him you’re here,” the man suggested.

“No, please don’t,” Cooper replied. “I don’t need to be confused.”

Marian Mercer, actress with zany streak, dies at 75

Producer, director and actor Jackie Cooper poses with his Emmy for directing at the 31st annual Emmy Awards in Los Angeles in 1979. Cooper, the child movie star who won a best actor Oscar nomination at the age of nine for “Skippy” and grew up to play The Daily Planet editor in Christopher Reeves’ four “Superman” movies, died Tuesday from an undisclosed illness at a Los Angeles hospital, said his agent Ronnie Leif. He was 88.

turn of Frank James” (1940), but most were forgettable.

Facing teenage retirement, he joined the Navy and spent part of World War II in the Pacific, drumming in Claude Thornhill’s band.

Cooper married June Horne in 1944. They had one son, John, and were divorced in 1949. He married Hildy Parks in 1950 and was divorced in 1951. He and Barbara Kraus were married in 1954 and had three children, Russell, Julie and Cristina. His wife and Cristina died in 2009. Julie died in 1997.

After the war acting jobs came sporadically. His skills were rusty for live television.

He argued with directors. In 1949 he appeared on Broadway in the comedy “Magnolia Alley,” which flopped, after which he played Ensign Pulver in “Mister Roberts” on the road and, the next year, in London.

After his second divorce, his confidence ebbed and he drank. He also became fascinated with car racing. He was good at it but realized after a 90-mph spinout in a Ferrari — a narrow escape that left his wife sobbing in the stands — that he was risking too much. He underwent therapy for years.

In the 1950s he appeared on “Lux Video Theater,” “The Philco Television Playhouse,” “The United States Steel Hour” and “Kraft Television Theater” and starred in and occasionally directed two sitcoms. In one, “The People’s Choice,” from 1955 to 1958, he played a politician with a basset hound, Cleo, whose droll thoughts were given voice on the soundtrack; in the other, “Hennesey,” from 1959 to 1962, he played a Navy doctor.

From 1964 to 1969 Cooper was a production executive for Screen Gems, the TV subsidiary of Columbia Pictures, where he worked on the sitcoms “Bewitched,” “The Donna Reed Show” and “Hazel” and the soap opera “Days of Our Lives.”

Marian Mercer, a willowy actress with a comedic flair who won a Tony Award in 1969 for her performance in the hit musical “Promises, Promises,” died on April 27 in Newbury Park, Calif. She was 75 and lived in Agoura Hills, Calif.

The cause was complications of Alzheimer’s disease, her husband, Patrick Hogan, said.

Mercer, a 5-foot-9 blonde with green eyes and, when necessary, a sultry voice, won the Tony for best featured actress in a musical for her portrayal of Marge MacDougall, a pickup girl at Clancy’s Lounge.

“She’s giving one of the most delicious performances on Broadway, a B-girl who would rather die than have you

think she’s cheap, as she deftly maneuvers herself into Jerry Orbach’s apartment, looking forward to bed,” The New York Times said.

But Mercer could handle more weighty characters. Among dozens of roles in repertory theaters around the country, she was Olivia in “Twelfth Night,” Helena in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and Blanche in “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

4 roles in 1 show In the 1978 Broadway production of “Stop the World — I Want to Get Off,” Mercer starred with Sammy Davis Jr., playing the four different women in his life with a mix of song, comedy and even mime.

Mercer’s zany streak led to

frequent television appearances with the likes of Johnny Carson, Jonathan Winters and Dom DeLuise. She was seen on “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” “St. Elsewhere,” “Archie Bunker’s Place” and “The Golden Girls,” among many other shows. And on ABC from 1980 through 1982 (and later in syndication) she played the humorless hostess, Nancy Beebe, on “It’s a Living,” a sitcom that followed the lives of waitresses working in an expensive restaurant atop a hotel in Los Angeles.

Marian Ethel Mercer was born in Akron, Ohio, on Nov. 26, 1935, one of five children of Samuel and Nellie Mercer.

Besides her husband of 31 years, she is survived by her sister, Marjorie Keith, and a daughter, Deidre Whitaker. Her first

marriage, to Martin Cassidy, an actor she met soon after coming to New York in 1957, ended in divorce.

University of Michigan She was 8 when she began singing lessons, a passion she pursued at the University of Michigan. There she also began acting, taking roles in summer stock theater. She moved to New York in 1957 and, after stints as a model, a hostess at Schrafft’s restaurant and a file clerk, was cast in the choruses of “Greenwillow” and “Fiorello!”

Her big break came in 1961 when she took over the title role in Rick Besoyan‘s Off Broadway hit “Little Mary Sunshine,” a spoof of old-fashioned operettas and musicals.

Schools Continued from C1 On June 1, Duane Yecha starts as the new superintendent.

Scott Cooper, director of the board, said he would be happy to keep either of the current board members for any amount of time to help with the changes the district is going through.

“Even if they could stay for just a year, that would at least get us through the transition (of a new superintendent),” Cooper said.

“We want the best possible opportunity for him to get going here.”

According to the Crook County Clerk’s Office, it could take more than a month to determine who will fill the positions.

“We won’t begin tabulating the write-ins until the day after the election,” said County Clerk Dee Berman. “That isn’t something the scanner will read, so we have to call in the write-in board to count.”

That involves four people handcounting each ballot for write-ins.

After the votes are tallied, the elections office informs the candidate who is elected to the position.

If the individual who is elected by write-in votes declines the position, the district then is left to appoint an individual.

In Crook County there are 13 positions where no candidate has filed for this election.

Berman said some candidates in smaller districts, like the county’s water districts, don’t file because they don’t want to pay the fees and they know they can get people to vote for them by write-in.

But the school district is considered one of the “bigger” boards, Berman said, and it’s uncommon to see two vacancies.

Curriculum Director Dennis Kostelecky, who is serving as acting superintendent in Crook County as current superintendent Ivan Hernandez finishes his term on vacation, said he thinks the reason no one filed is that they know the job isn’t easy.

“Being a school board member is kind of a tough job,” Kostelecky said. “This is a really hard job in terms of the budget and in terms of laying people off. It requires late nights and it requires, from my perspective, vigilance. We absolutely appreciate them as volunteers, and they do our community a great service.”

Deschutes Continued from C1 Riley said The Central Oregon Environmental Center does not have any data measuring the impact of recycling education, and it would probably be expensive to study.

Riley and Brad Bailey, the president of Bend Garbage & Recycling and High Country Disposal in Redmond, said they have heard anecdotes about the impact of the programs, when adults tell them their children are intent on recycling after going through The Central Oregon Environmental Center’s program.

In the past, Schimke has said the center’s programs help keep waste out of Knott Landfill and save money by extending the life of the landfill.

Before the county reduced funding to the center, the center planned to use some of the funds on its K-12 recycling and waste prevention education program, which is supposed to reach at least 5,000 students, according to a proposed grant agreement from January. The center generates the curriculum, markets it to local public and private schools, puts on the program and works with schools on grants to reduce waste.

The money would have also paid for employees of the center to do outreach at community events, work with local garbage and recycling companies to collect and compost food waste, and encourage businesses to reduce waste and increase recycling.

The center was also planning to use the money for a new twoyear public education and awareness campaign about the benefits of waste reduction, recycling, composting and other activities.

That will be scaled back but is expected to launch this summer, Riley said Tuesday.

Nurse practitioners fill state health care gap The Associated Press PORTLAND — As health care coverage begins to expand nationally, Oregon is among the states with liberal medical practice laws that allow licensed nurse practitioners to care for patients, order diagnostic tests and prescribe drugs without a physician’s oversight.

The Oregonian reports the popular image of the hospitalbased nurse carrying out the orders of a doctor has changed immensely since the 1950s.

Now, many nurse practitioners have graduate training to provide much of the care traditionally of-

fered by physicians.

Nurse practitioner training has also become the fastest and least expensive way to produce caregivers urgently needed in areas with a shortage of doctors.

For the cost of training one doctor, nursing schools can produce at least three and as many as 12 nurse practitioners.

Trout or whitefish?

This rainbow trout, top, and whitefish, bottom, were both landed on a nymph pattern called a “Frenchie” on the Middle Deschutes near Steelhead Falls. The whitefish measured 22 inches long and weighed nearly 4 pounds.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Fred Couples is a couple of decades older since finishing second in the last major tournament at Shoal Creek, and he has the aching back to prove it.

But Couples is happily here anyway for the Champions Tour’s Regions Tradition at the scenic course that hosted two PGA Championships a couple of decades ago before controversy erupted over its all-white membership — and the founder’s comments that the club wouldn’t be pressured into accepting blacks.

The Tradition, the first of five Champions Tour majors, opens Thursday. The tournament wrapped up a four-year run in Sunriver last year.

“This is a great, great golf course,” Couples, who tied for 15th at the Masters while fighting back problems, said Wednesday. “For the Champions Tour, I believe this is going to be one of the best events.”

For the players and PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem, the past issues seem to be buried about as deep as the Bermuda rough that plagued participants in the 1984 and 1990 PGA Championships.

By Mark Morical CROOKED RIVER RANCH — Lee Ann Ross could not believe what she was hearing.

The comment came from a casual spectator at the Fly Fishing Team USA Northwest Regional Qualifier earlier this spring on the Upper Deschutes.

The spectator was telling one of the competitors how he throws whitefish up on the bank to kill them after he catches them.

“I asked him why, and he said they were the reason the trout population was down on the Crooked River,” Ross recalled.

PHOENIX — Larry Scott has spent his nearly two years as Pac-10 commissioner bolstering the conference’s brand by expanding its reach.

The former professional tennis player unfurled his latest and greatest ground stroke on Wednesday, announcing the launch of the conference’s own television network and a joint 12-year deal with ESPN and Fox that’s the richest in college sports at a hefty $3 billion.

“I think it’s fair to say 18 months ago, never in our wildest dreams would we have envisioned being in the position that we’re in today,” Arizona State athletic director Lisa Love said.

Member schools had already agreed to an equal revenue-sharing plan and will rake it in with the new TV deal, each earning about $21 million annually in guaranteed money.

The roughly $250 million per year for the conference puts the new Pac-12 — Colorado and Utah are set to join the next two years — ahead of the Big Ten ($220 million) and SEC ($205 million) for top dog in TV deals.

For a conference that made less than $60 million in media rights this past season, that’s a big deal.

“Today’s announcement of this landmark agreement represents an important milestone in the transformation from the Pac-10 to the Pac-12,” Scott said. “The increased revenue that will come to the Pac-12 comes at a critically important time for our universities given the unprecedented financial challenges that higher education and athletics within higher education is facing.”

Michael Hirko scattered nine hits over seven innings Wednesday and allowed just one run as Bend High topped Intermountain Conference rival Summit 6-1 at home.

The Lava Bears’ senior ace struck out four and walked none in helping Bend improve to 2-3 in Class 5A IMC play and 15-6 overall.

Storm junior Kevin Hamann, who went the distance for Summit, was tagged with the loss after striking out three and walking three while giving up 12 hits.

“Both guys pitched out of trouble early in the game,” Lava Bear coach Dan Weber said

S B Baseball • Dodgers lack cash for May 31 payroll: Major League Baseball believes the Los Angeles Dodgers do not have enough money to make their end of May payroll, a person familiar with the team’s finances told The Associated Press. The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because MLB’s investigation of the team’s finances under owner Frank McCourt is ongoing. The Los Angeles Times first reported that the Dodgers lacked the cash to make their May 31 payroll. The person said that if the Dodgers don’t have the money, MLB would step in and make payroll. “We’ve been assured that all their obligations will be met,” union head Michael Weiner said in a telephone interview with the AP. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said in a statement to the AP that he blamed the commissioner’s office for any financial issues.

• Texas has deal with Cuban defector: Cuban defector Leonys Martin has finalized a $15.5 million, five-year contract with the Texas Rangers. The Rangers formally announced the deal with the speedy outfielder Wednesday. The contract, the second-largest for a Cuban defector, includes a $5 million signing bonus and salaries of $500,000 this year, $1.25 million in 2012, $2.25 million in 2013, $2.75 million in 2014 and $3.75 million in 2015.Texas will start Martin at extended spring training in Surprise, Ariz.

Golf • Sabbatini in trouble with tour?: Rory Sabbatini could face suspension from the PGA Tour for what was described as a profanity-laced argument with Sean O’Hair during last week’s Zurich Classic in New Orleans. According to multiple players and officials, it was the second time this year that Sabbatini has run into trouble because of his behavior on the golf course. The first incident was at Riviera in the Northern Trust Open, where Sabbatini was said to have spoken harshly to a teenage volunteer who was trying to help him find a lost ball. The players and officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the tour keeps all disciplinary matters private.

College athletics • Boise State imposes sanctions for NCAA infractions: Boise State football coach Chris Petersen, in the wake of a series of NCAA violations, will have fewer scholarships to hand out in the next two years and less time on the practice field to prepare for tough season openers against Georgia this fall and Michigan State in 2012. The sanctions already imposed on the Bronco football team are part of a broader penalty package put in place by university officials this week for men’s and women’s tennis and track and field after an NCAA inquiry identified nearly two dozen violations by coaches in those sports. The NCAA said its inquiry, along with an internal investigation by Boise State, identified 22 infractions and an absence of institutional controls necessary to fully comply with rules governing collegiate athletic programs. The NCAA can impose even tougher sanctions against the university after its Committee on Infractions meets next month to review the Boise State case.

Basketball • NCAA proposes changes to men’s, women’s games: College basketball could start looking more like the NBA next season. The NCAA men’s and women’s basketball rules committees said Wednesday they are recommending the

use of a restricted area arc three feet from the basket and changing the terminology of intentional and flagrant fouls. The women’s committee also wants to extend the three-point line by one foot, to 20 feet, 9 inches, the same distance the men have used since 2008-09.

• Clippers’ Griffin unanimously voted top NBA rookie: Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin was named the Rookie of the Year on Wednesday after a landslide vote, becoming the NBA’s first unanimous choice for the award in 21 years. Griffin received every first-place vote from a panel of 118 media members, easily outdistancing Washington’s John Wall. Griffin led all rookies in scoring and rebounding while playing in all 82 games for the Clippers, finishing 12th in the entire NBA in scoring (22.5 points) and fourth in rebounds (12.1) while ranking second among rookies in assists (3.8).

Cycling • UCI rules to curb cycling’s needle culture: Cycling’s governing body has toughened anti-doping rules by limiting when riders can receive injections. The International Cycling Union says its “No Needle” policy will take effect immediately.

It prohibits injections of recovery-boosting “vitamins, sugars, enzymes and amino acids.” The UCI says injections must be justified by medical science, and most legitimate uses of needles must be reported within 24 hours. The new rules allow riders, teams and doctors to be sanctioned. Riders can be suspended up to six months and fined $116,000 for a first offense. Teams face exclusion from races if an illegal injection is given.

Tennis • Nadal and Djokovic win with ease, as Federer toils: Roger Federer came close to another upset before finally beating Feliciano Lopez in three gripping sets at the Madrid Open, and rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic continued their winning streaks with ease. Federer, beaten

by Jurgen Melzer in Monte Carlo last month, saved a match point in a marathon 7-6 (13), 6-7 (1), 7-6 (7) win after three hours. Djokovic ran his winning streak to 30 by beating Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-3, 6-4. Nadal is unbeaten in 35 matches on clay after his 6-1, 6-3 rout of Marcos Baghdatis. The top-ranked Nadal next plays 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, who swept aside Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-0 in 64 minutes.On the women’s side, Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic eased past second-seeded Vera Zvonareva 6-1, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals.

Football • DoJ to NCAA: Why no playoff?: The Department of Justice wants to know why the NCAA doesn’t have a college football playoff system and says there are “serious questions” about whether the current format to determine a national champion complies with antitrust laws. Critics who have urged the department to investigate the Bowl Championship Series contend it unfairly gives some schools preferential access to the title championship game and top-tier end-of-the-season bowl contents. In a letter this week, the department’s antitrust chief, Christine Varney, asked NCAA President Mark Emmert why a playoff system isn’t used in football, unlike in other sports; what steps the NCAA has taken to create one; and whether Emmert thinks there are aspects of the BCS system that don’t serve the interest of fans, schools and players.

Dialed In is early Kentucky Derby favorite 137th KENTUCKY DERBY

By Beth Harris The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Nobody wanted to be No. 1.

No. 20 wasn’t too popular, either.

Dialed In managed to avoid both — the inside rail and far outside — at Wednesday’s post-position draw for the Kentucky Derby.

He was made the early 4-1 favorite for Saturday’s race after drawing the favorable No. 8 post, prompting owner Robert LaPenta to let out a cheer. Uncle Mo was the second choice in a full field of 20 horses.

Ten horses have won from the No. 8 position; the last, 50-1 shocker Mine That Bird two years ago.

“It’s a big thing, and he deserves it,” two-time Derby winner Nick Zito said, referring to his horse’s status as the favorite. Dialed In has won three of four career races.

Three times in the last seven runnings the favorite has worn the garland of roses, most recently Big Brown in 2008.

“So far, so good,” Zito said. “If he has another couple of good days we’ll be happy. Things are doing all right.”

Things haven’t been quite so right for Uncle Mo, who drew the No. 18 post, three slots from the outside. The colt is being treated for a gastrointestinal infection,

Full field is set for the Derby The Kentucky Derby will start with a field of 20 horses. Dialed In is the early favorite, drawing the No. 8 gate.

which was blamed for his stunning first-ever defeat in last month’s Wood Memorial.

Owner Mike Repole has said if Uncle Mo isn’t sufficiently recovered, he won’t run in the 1¼-mile Derby.

Trainer Todd Pletcher, however, said Uncle Mo might

be able to win even if he’s at less than his best.

“But we’re committed to bringing him over there at 100 percent, anything less than that, we won’t accept,” he said.

Uncle Mo, last year’s 2year-old champion, jogged a mile around the dirt track at

Churchill Downs and later stood in the starting gate to familiarize himself with the surroundings. He is scheduled to gallop today.

“I’ve always said I think he’s the best horse of his generation,” Pletcher said.

“We proved that last year and identified what we thought was the reason for the poor performance in the Wood. I think if he shows up and he’s the Uncle Mo from the Breeders’ Cup or the Champagne or even the Timely Writer, he’s the horse to beat.”

Uncle Mo would have to overcome a bit of history.

Only one horse since 1900 has come out of the No. 18 hole to win and that was Gato Del Sol in 1982.

Still, Pletcher and Repole were relieved to have avoided the rail.

“We had this overlying fear we were going to get the 1,” the trainer said. “Once it was anything besides that we were happy.”

Repole’s other colt, Stay Thirsty — also trained by Pletcher — landed in the No. 4 post and is 20-1 on the morning line set by Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia.

Pletcher ended a zerofor-24 skid in the Derby last year when Super Saver won from the No. 4 post.

Nehro was the third choice at 6-1. The other 17 horses were listed at double-digit odds.

• Rangers 5, Mariners 2: SEATTLE — C.J. Wilson struck out 12 in a six-hitter while Mitch Moreland and Chris Davis homered off Seattle rookie Michael Pineda as Texas won. Wilson (4-1) retired the final 14 batters in his fourth career complete game. The Rangers stopped their losing streak at three.

• Athletics 3, Indians 1: OAKLAND, Calif. — David DeJesus hit his first two home runs of the season, Trevor Cahill pitched another gem and Oakland snapped Cleveland’s seven-game winning streak.

DeJesus’ two solo shots handed Josh Tomlin (4-1) his first loss of the year. Cahill (5-0) gave up five hits and three walks in seven innings and never had any serious jams.

• Braves 8-8, Brewers 3-0: ATLANTA — Tim Hudson pitched a one-hitter, Nate McLouth homered to highlight a big day, and Atlanta ruined the Milwaukee debut of Zack Greinke to complete a doubleheader sweep. Tommy Hanson pitched six strong innings in the opener and Martin Prado drove in three runs.

• Reds 3, Astros 2: CINCINNATI — Jay Bruce’s double completed Cincinnati’s three-run rally off closer Brandon Lyon in the ninth inning. Lyon (3-2) came on to try to finish off a one-hitter, but failed to retire any of the five batters he faced while blowing a save for the fourth time in eight chances.

• Phillies 7, Nationals 4: PHILADELPHIA — Vance Worley threw six sharp innings and Raul Ibanez homered and had three hits for Philadelphia.

Worley (2-0) allowed one run and four hits, striking out seven in his fourth start in the majors.

• Pirates 7, Padres 4: SAN DIEGO — Ryan Doumit’s grand slam highlighted a six-run third inning and Kevin Correia beat his old team as Pittsburgh took two of three from San Diego. The Pirates have won five road series, one more than they did last year. They have 11 road wins — last year they didn’t get their 11th until June 28.

• Giants 2, Mets 0: NEW YORK — Tim Lincecum struck out 12 to surpass Christy Mathewson for most double-digit strikeout games in Giants history and Pat Burrell hit a tiebreaking single for San Francisco. Lincecum (3-3) gave up five hits in seven innings, throwing 127 pitches for his most this season.

• Marlins 8, Cardinals 7: ST. LOUIS — Florida’s Mike Stanton hit a tiebreaking two-run drive in the ninth inning for his third homer in four games. Gaby Sanchez had two hits and a bases-loaded walk for the Marlins, who survived blowing a four-run lead.

• Cubs 5, Dodgers 1: LOS ANGELES — Carlos Zambrano went eight solid innings, and Chicago scored all of its runs on homers by Geovany Soto, Carlos Pena and Marlon Byrd. Andre Ethier’s 29game hitting was put on hold when the Dodgers scratched their right fielder because of injury.

• Rockies 6, Diamondbacks 4: PHOENIX — Jhoulys Chacin pitched seven effective innings and Chris Iannetta hit a two-run homer for Colorado.

Chacin (4-2) yielded solo homers by pitcher Barry Enright and Kelly Johnson, but only one other hit.

Note: The game between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Angels, which was delayed by rain, ended too late for this edition. The game was tied 3-3 in the 13th inning.

Lightning finish sweep of Capitals with 5-3 victory The Associated Press

Mark J. Terrill / The Associated Press

Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki, right, drives toward the basket as Los Angeles forward Pau Gasol defends during the first half of Game 2 of a Western Conference semifinal Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Dirk blasts Lakers again, sends Mavs to 2-0 lead The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks let loose with a few primal howls as they left the court, cutting through the scattered boos and gloomy silence at Staples Center.

After back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Mavericks are headed home with something coach Rick Carlisle insists they expected.

These longtime playoff disappointments have a golden opportunity to knock out the two-time defending champions.

Nowitzki scored 24 points, Shawn Marion added 14 and the Mavericks stunned the erratic Lakers 93-81 in Game 2 on Wednesday night, taking a 2-0 second-round lead with consecutive road wins.

Jason Kidd scored 10 points for the Mavericks, who pushed the Lakers halfway to playoff elimination with Nowitzki’s stellar shooting, another steady defensive performance, and a decisive 9-0 fourth-quarter run. Dallas did nothing spectacularly well, yet was significantly better than the cold-shooting Lakers on both ends.

“We came to compete, and we came to make something happen here,” Marion said. “We made our presence felt on both ends of the floor tonight. We did a good job of handling their pressure and just going out there and doing what we’ve been doing all postseason, just playing good defense and just playing our style of play.”

Kobe Bryant scored 23 points for the Lakers, who hadn’t lost the first two games of a playoff series since the 2008 NBA finals

Tradition Continued from D1 Finchem called the 7,234-yard, par-72 course, which is nestled between the lush Oak and Double Oak mountains, “by all estimates a significant, supreme test” and “famous around the world.”

But outside of golf circles, at least, it became known in 1990 for founder Hall Thompson’s remarks on black members just before the PGA Championship.

Thompson, who later apologized, died in October.

The 600-member club now has a handful of black members, including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a Birmingham native and honorary chair of the tournament.

“We certainly have no hesitation of playing here and haven’t had for a number of years,” Finchem said. “Actually, the last five or 10 years we’ve had a couple of, I would call them robust conversations with the club here about possibly playing.

“For whatever reason, those conversations didn’t materialize, but they could have. I mean, we had no reservation about playing.”

The rancor prompted major golf organizations to adopt membership policies for tournament sites.

Several major sponsors — including Anheuser-Busch, Toyota and IBM — yanked TV ads and black organizations threatened to picket outside.

And now? “We’re extremely comfortable on all fronts,” Finchem said.

Champions Tour player Steve Lowery, who lives in Birming-

— also the last series they lost.

Only three NBA teams have come back to win a best-of-seven series after losing the first two at home, where dismayed fans sent the Lakers off with boos and jeers.

“We came here to win two games,” Carlisle said. “We’re going to need every gun blazing and throw the kitchen sink at these guys when they come to our place.”

Game 3 is Friday night in Dallas.

Los Angeles missed its first 15 three-point attempts in Game 2, only avoiding its first playoff game without a three-pointer since May 8, 2001, on Bryant’s three with 2:43 left. Los Angeles finished two for 20 on threepointers, but the Lakers also appeared simply exhausted during long stretches of their 75th playoff game in the last four seasons.

“I saw guys tired out there, but I don’t think it’s contagious from two years ago or three years,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.

“Really poor second half on our part tonight. Just really a rugged third quarter for our team, had a hard time getting going.”

Los Angeles also could be short-handed in Dallas: Ron Artest was ejected with 24.4 seconds left for apparently clotheslining Dallas guard J.J. Barea, possibly leading to a suspension. Even Jackson conceded “there’s a good chance” he won’t have Artest on Friday.

“It’s not a basketball play, so we’ll see what happens,” Barea said.

After years of playoff underachievement during owner

Mark Cuban’s tenure, the Mavericks certainly appear primed to change their reputation.

Dallas, which won just one playoff series in the past four years before this spring, was more aggressive and inventive than the champs, maintaining a steady lead before breaking it open with nine straight points down the stretch in the rally led

by Barea, who highlighted it with an impressive short shot directly over Andrew Bynum. Barea had 12 points and four assists.

Cuban led the cheers behind Dallas’ bench as the Mavs pulled away in the fourth quarter. Not even Bryant could save the Lakers, going scoreless in the fourth until hitting two free throws with 3:11 to play.

Also on Wednesday: Bulls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .86 Hawks. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .73 CHICAGO — Newly crowned MVP Derrick Rose scored 25 points, Joakim Noah added 19 points and 14 rebounds, and Chicago beat Atlanta in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals to tie the series.

The top-seeded Bulls shook off a dismal performance in the opener and looked more like the team with a league-best 62 wins, building a 14-point lead and ending the game on a 9-2 run after the Hawks got within six.

Jeff Teague had another good game filling in for the injured Kirk Hinrich with 21 points, but Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford struggled after coming up big in the opener for Atlanta. Johnson’s output dipped from 34 points to 16, while Crawford had 11 after pouring in 22 in Game 1.

ham, credits Mike Thompson, a Shoal Creek board member and Hall’s son, for helping put that controversy in the past.

“It’s because Mike Thompson was proactive in taking the initiative to do things right, and he’s done them right all the way,” said Lowery, a former Shoal Creek member. “He’s done a great job with all of those issues. They’re in the past. We’re going forward.”

At the time, he said, the experience “was painful, because I knew it wasn’t accurate (about) people as a whole here. It was a little bit unfair.”

The Jack Nicklaus-designed course eased back into the national golf scene by hosting the 2008 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.

Now, it is replacing the city’s Regions Charity Classic across town. The Tradition was held at Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater Club in the past four years before the title sponsor pulled out.

“It feels like a major venue,” said Kenny Perry, who teamed with Scott Hoch to finish second two weeks ago in the Legends of Golf. “It feels like par is a good score this week. Majors on the regular tour, par is the number you’re after. If you can make a couple of birdies, you try to make them, just hang in there with them, hold on to them and not let them go. I think this week’s going to be a similar kind of situation.”

The tournament comes a week after a deadly tornado ravaged the Birmingham area. Champions Tour players have donated items and raised $50,000 at an auction, while the tour is giving $100,000.

Some of the players are rekindling somewhat dim memories of

the course. Couples is among 16 returning after making the cuts in 1984 and 1990.

Couples said he doesn’t remember any shots from the venue’s last PGA Championship.

“But I remember Lee Trevino making a putt on the last green and kissing his putter,” he said.

Beyond that, the talk was largely about the rough that lived up to its name. That was in August, though, and the Bermuda grass hasn’t grown out so much this time.

“I remember the rough being to where you had to chip it sideways to get it back out on the fairway,” recalls John Cook, who played in the 1984 event and has already won twice on the Champions Tour this year.

Adds Nick Price: “It was so deep here and you basically felt like you were walking on a tightrope the whole time playing.”

Couples and Price are both dealing with back pain, while Cook has battled a stomach virus for the last week.

Couples said Wednesday’s proam was only the second round of golf he has played since the Masters three weeks earlier. He said he was up at 5 a.m. using an electrical stimulation machine for his back.

“It’s been really in pain since last October, where it’s been this toothache, which is not a lot of fun,” said Couples, who has 15 PGA Tour wins and grabbed four Champions Tour titles last year.

“I’ve been struggling for a lot of years but not like the last six or seven months.

“I don’t foresee feeling like that and playing much more golf, unless I play five times in a year. It’s not really worth it.”

TAMPA, Fla. — With time winding down, chants of “sweep, sweep, sweep” reverberated through the building, and the Tampa Bay Lightning kept pushing the Washington Capitals — all the way out of the NHL playoffs.

Sean Bergenheim scored two goals and Dwayne Roloson stopped 33 shots, helping the streaking Lightning complete a series sweep of the topseeded Capitals with a 5-3 victory in Game 4 on Wednesday night.

Playing on consecutive nights for the first time this postseason, the fifth-seeded Lightning extended their winning streak to seven games and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since their 2004 Stanley Cup championship season.

“We’re definitely happy, but we’re not popping champagne or anything,” Lightning forward Ryan Malone said. “We know what our goal is and we have to keep going and stay even keel. We haven’t done anything yet.”

For Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals it was yet another bitter postseason disappointment.

Rookie Michal Neuvirth stopped 32 shots for Washington, but Bergenheim scored twice in eight minutes during the second period to build a 3-1 lead that sent the sellout crowd of 20,835 into celebratory mode long before it was over.

“It just seemed like they had an answer for everything that we threw at them,” Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner said. “That’s kind of the tough part. We didn’t get rewarded for everything that we threw at them.”

The Lightning’s big three of Martin St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier and Steven Stamkos have elevated their games, but so has Bergenheim, who has a team-leading seven goals through two rounds. St. Louis’ sixth goal of the playoffs, with 3:08 remaining, finished Tampa Bay’s scoring.

Ryan Malone and Marc-Andre Bergeron added goals for the Lightning, who have not lost since dropping into a 3-1 hole against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round.

Bergenheim was eighth on the Lightning with 14 regular-season goals, however he’s been much more of an offensive force in ousting the Penguins and Lightning.

It’s something coach Guy Boucher, who has Tampa Bay in the conference finals in his first season as an NHL coach, has come to expect of the forward.

“Every top game, every important game, every game that there is some pressure, he was in it.

He was one of our better players,” Boucher said.

“Some people freeze under pressure, some people fly away, and some people fight. He fights.”

Marco Sturm, John Erskine and John Carlson scored for the Capitals. Ovechkin had an assist on Sturm’s goal, but couldn’t find the net with any of five shots at Roloson, the 41-year-old, midseason acquisition who has been a key factor in Tampa

Duerson case highlights limits of NFL disability plan FOOTBALL

By Alan Schwarz New York Times News Service

BOSTON — As the football world absorbs Monday’s news that Dave Duerson had the football-related brain damage he suspected before fatally shooting himself in February, an overlooked detail has emerged: Had Duerson reached out for help via the NFL’s disability plan, which he helped administer, his neurological injuries would not have qualified for a high level of benefit, if any at all.

The disability program jointly run by the league and the players association gives its “football degenerative” award for total and permanent disability, up to $110,000 per year, for injuries deemed related to football

Fish Continued from D1 The man was misinformed — like many anglers who consider whitefish a trash fish.

Native to Central Oregon waters, whitefish actually help trout thrive, according to biologists.

“They’ve been here for thousands of years, if not longer, and they play an integral ecological role in the fish community,” said Brett Hodgson, a Bend-based fisheries biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“Their eggs are an important source of food and protein to other trout during the winter months, when (whitefish) are spawning.”

Some anglers contend that whitefish compete with trout for food, thereby hurting the native trout populations. Biologists have been concerned about that issue in the past, but Hodgson points to recent studies showing that whitefish do not directly compete with trout for food.

“There’s a lot of partitioning of the diet between whitefish and trout,” Hodgson explained. “There is not a lot of competition for food, and they tend to occupy different areas of rivers.”

Whitefish, sometimes called mountain whitefish, are a salmo-

that arise within 15 years of the player’s retirement. Anything that manifests itself later receives no more than $40,000, and players with neurological impairments have had difficulty getting that.

An all-pro safety for three teams over 11 seasons, Duerson had been retired for 17 years when he committed suicide Feb. 17.

He shot himself in the chest rather than his head, and asked in a note that his brain be examined for chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative disease caused by repetitive brain trauma. Researchers at Boston University confirmed Monday

nid, the same family as salmon and trout. Part of the issue might be that whitefish are simply not as pretty as a red-sashed rainbow trout or a black-spotted brown trout. Whitefish feature a mouth that is turned under, and large, rather unsightly scales.

In Central Oregon, whitefish are native to the Crooked, Deschutes and Metolius rivers, and to Odell, Cultus, Crescent and Suttle lakes.

They are perhaps mostly associated with the Crooked River, where a recent decline in the redband trout population was blamed by some on the flourishing whitefish population.

But whitefish were not the cause of the decline, according to ODFW. Rather, extraordinarily high water flows had caused gasbubble disease in the trout.

Bend’s John Anderson, a former professor and research scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, headed a recent comprehensive study of the macroinvertebrates in the Crooked River, and how they related to the feeding patterns of trout and whitefish.

His studies revealed that during late fall and early winter months, when most macroinvertebrates are unavailable as food for trout, whitefish eggs serve as a key source of nourishment.

that he had the disease, which is linked to the type of memory loss, impaired judgment and depression of which Duerson complained.

The circumstances rekindled debate over football safety issues, including how the league’s disability plan handles latent work-related cognitive problems like Duerson’s. One of six trustees who voted on claims since 2006, Duerson told a Senate subcommittee hearing in 2007 that he questioned whether mental decline was related to football.

Whether he changed his mind before his suicide — when he appeared to connect his condition to football — is not known.

Another question beginning to circle

“Whitefish evolved with trout in Western rivers and actually are better adapted to survive in the colder waters than trout,” Anderson said. “I don’t know why any angler would want to consider a native Western game fish a trash fish.”

Typically, regulations allow anglers to catch and keep only five trout per day on Oregon waters.

But anglers can keep as many whitefish as they want, according to Hodgson. He added that, while whitefish are not commonly considered a delectable fish, they taste good when smoked.

“We’re of the opinion that they’re a vastly underutilized resource out there,” Hodgson said of whitefish. “We encourage anglers to take advantage of the recreational sport opportunity and consumption.”

Because the Crooked River is once again a torrent — running at 1,200 cubic feet per second below Bowman Dam as of Wednesday — the river right now is basically unfishable.

So currently, the best Central Oregon river options for trout and whitefish angling are the Middle and Lower Deschutes.

I headed to the Middle Deschutes near Crooked River Ranch and Steelhead Falls with Lee Ann Ross and Scott Robertson, two

among retired players whose claims were denied during Duerson’s tenure is whether they can refile given his admitted impairment. Board votes are not disclosed to applicants or to the public.

John Hogan, a lawyer for dozens of players in disability matters, said that he might request an audit by the U.S. Department of Labor to see how Duerson voted on claims.

“He had to exercise a high degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence — the CTE findings, coupled with his suicide, certainly raise the question of whether he was capable of properly fulfilling those duties as is required in such an important undertaking,” Hogan said.

avid fly anglers from Bend, on Monday.

A cold wind ripped through the rugged canyon, but the fish did not seem to mind. Nymphing, we landed and released 40 fish between the three of us on a stretch of river no more than 100 yards long. And yes, most of them were whitefish — but we didn’t care.

One complaint that some anglers have about whitefish is that they just don’t fight like a trout.

“People say whitefish don’t fight, but look at this,” said Robertson, as a whitefish put a deep bend in his rod and took line downstream. “They fight hard.

But they don’t fight the same as a trout — they’re different.”

Anderson compared catching and landing a whitefish to taking a brown trout: They don’t come flying out of the river like a rainbow trout, but they put up a fight nonetheless.

Anglers can catch whitefish in much the same way they catch trout: nymphing with a strike indicator. A fisherman targeting trout will often catch many whitefish, and vice versa.

But whitefish do not typically rise to the surface like trout do, according to Robertson.

“They tend to like flashy flies,” he said. “Sometimes they can’t resist biting like a trout can. It’s

more of a reaction thing. They’ll grab a fly and spit it out faster than a trout.”

I certainly noticed that on Monday. My strike indicators would dip beneath the water surface, but I would be too late to set the hook. Still, I managed to land several fish, including a 22-inch-long whitefish that weighed nearly 4 pounds on Robertson’s net scale.

Looking closely at the fish, I admit it was not the most beautiful of specimens. But to me, landing a big fish is landing a big fish.

Pac-10 Continued from D1 The TV contract, which will begin with the 2012-13 season, combined with the Pac-12 Network will allow the conference to air every football and men’s basketball game, numerous women’s basketball games, along with Olympic and other non-revenue sports within the conference.

The Pac-12 Network will be fully owned by the conference, unlike the Big Ten Network, 49 percent of which is owned by Fox. “It is a historic deal for the conference and our university,” Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne said. “It gives us a muchneeded revenue stream and at the same time improves our ability to compete on a national level for many years to come.”

Normally rivals in sports coverage, ESPN — and partner ABC — and Fox will combine to broadcast 44 regular-season football games, including 10 to a national audience, and 68 men’s basketball games.

The Pac-12 championship game in football will be televised next season by Fox, which will also utilize its FX channel in its coverage, and alternate every year between the two networks.

The men’s conference basketball tournament will have a similar rotation, starting with ESPN next season.

“We do compete at a lot of levels, often like they do on Saturdays in college football, but there are a lot of times when it makes sense to get together,” said Randy Freer, president of Fox Sports Networks. “We were able to come together and realize this could be a relationship where everyone truly won. The sum of the parts were bigger than the whole in this case.”

Along with the Pac-12 Digital Network, the Pac-12 Network will air some football games and the bulk of men’s basketball games, roughly 120 per season. It also will show numerous women’s basketball games and another 200 live Olympic sports, which the conference has dominated in over the years.

“It’s been said if the Pacific-12 Conference were a country, we’d be top-10 in the world as a country at the Olympics,” Love said.

“It’s a remarkable conference, but because we haven’t been as exposed, by and large unless you’re here, you don’t know about it. It’s our opportunity now to share the good news in that regard.”

The new network and the increased coverage with Fox and ESPN fit perfectly with Scott’s vision of giving the Pac-12 more exposure, particularly in the densely populated Northeast, where late-night games in the conference had usually been an afterthought.

“We congratulate Larry Scott and his team for delivering on a grand scale for our conference, our university, our student-athletes and fans,” Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said. “The new agreements dramatically increase our national exposure while providing a solid, long-term financial foundation to help ensure we remain self-sufficient.”

The conference also created the Pac-12 Media Enterprises to manage and sell sponsorship and licensing rights controlled by the conference, along with the football championship game and men’s and women’s basketball conference tournaments.

“The tug is the drug,” Robertson said.

Even if that tug comes from a whitefish.

uiet, Jim Milton pointed his truck into the field, the engine at idle. We push-clicked the doors closed and placed jacks under the shooting platform with a minimum of commotion.

Up on top, we could see for miles in every direction. Graybrown ground squirrels perched atop huge dirt mounds and their worn trails ran like the spokes of a wheel into the two-inch orchard grass.

Hundreds of yards away, white PVC pipes baited with tempting tasties and blood thinner offered the ground squirrels a slow demise. It did not appear to be working. Belding’s ground squirrels, also called sage rats in Eastern Oregon, scampered in and out of the white pipes.

Without us to help, the farmer would not have much left to take to market.

During the months of April and May, my friends Nikki and Justin Aamodt, owners of Diamond A Guides, operate farmland varmint hunts to solve the problems created by the proliferation of ground squirrels. It has become a spring ritual to spend a day or two with them at their camp at Crystal Crane Hot Springs.

This time, Rex Allison, his 12-year-old son Ethan and 15year-old Sam King were along to help. To start close, to keep from spooking varmints farther out, we uncased the air rifles.

Over the last 10 years, air guns have undergone a quiet evolution. Benjamin, Crosman, Gamo and other brands are in a race to bring us better ammunition, better optics, higher velocities, quieter operation, minimized recoil and quick follow-up shots.

In the last few weeks, I’ve tested three new air rifles. I had hoped to try the new Benjamin Rogue, but they are hard to come by right now. The Rogue caught my imagination when I heard that Nosler had developed a .357-caliber bullet for the new air rifle. Suitable for hunting deer and wild hogs at close range, the Rogue is a multi-shot repeater with a microprocessor controlled valve that allows the hunter to extend the accuracy (and lethality) out to an advertised 100 yards. The eVALVE furnishes electronically driven power for as many as 20 shots per fill.

Jim Milton, of Bend, shoots the Gamo Whisper VH, a .177-caliber break-action air rifle.

First to arrive at my doorstep were the .25-caliber Benjamin Marauder and the Crosman Optimus, a break-barrel .177-caliber with a four-power scope.

The pre-charged pneumatic Marauder is sophisticated, accurate and quiet, with velocities greater than 850 feet per second and 45 foot-pounds of kinetic energy per shot. It offers a dual fuel option for either compressed air or CO2 and a built-in pressure gauge to display the gun’s charge level.

The futuristic Gamo Whisper VH is black with a skeletonized synthetic stock, topped by a 3x9 scope, a laser (not legal for hunting in Oregon) and an LED light.

It shoots a premium lead-free pellet at an advertised 1,200 fps and standard lead pellets at 1,000 fps.

Out in the field, we tested the Whisper VH alongside the Optimus. After a short break-in, both guns shot quieter than brand new.

When I handed the rifle to Jim Milton, our guide, he found a target and settled in for a shot.

The gun coughed. Downrange, the impact of the Gamo pellet sent a tiny trail of dust into the breeze. He adjusted for the range and compensated for the wind to score a hit on his next squeeze.

Over the next eight hours, we took turns and marveled at how quiet an 8-gram chunk of lead or lead-free alloy could be delivered with precision out to 35 yards or so.

On the racks of sporting goods stores, four main calibers are offered: .177, .20, .22 and .25 caliber. Most common are the .177 and .22. If the primary pests and protein sources are small and feathered, the .177 might be the best choice. That little pill delivered at up to 1,600 feet per second is a proven performer. If an occasional rat, snake or squirrel might be contemplated as a target, the .177 is still a worthy option.

If, on the other hand, the pest in question is furred, a .22 caliber brings the energy to put woodchucks, rock chucks, jack rabbits, opossums and other smallgame animals down for good.

A firing range and backstop can be built in a basement or garage. The practice is good training for big-game hunts and, outside of city limits, an air rifle can be used to dispatch unwanted varmints without alarming the neighbors. With the .357 Rogue and the Nosler bullet, the day has come when coyotes, hogs and deer can be dispatched with air power.

You could call it an arms race.

The consumer, with more air power options than ever, is the winner.

New views of High Desert near Crooked River Ranch

By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

I

f you love the High Desert landscape, do yourself a favor, go check out the new Otter Bench Trail System in the Crooked River Canyon. If you don’t much care for sagebrush and juniper, go anyway. This hike might change your mind.

Otter Bench is one of the region’s newer trail systems, opened by the Bureau of Land Management last year just outside of the Crooked River Ranch. The eight miles of trail offer

a variety of options for anyone seeking the quintessential Central Oregon experience.

The trails can be accessed from the end of Horny Hollow Road, just beyond a gate that closes the area to motorized traffic. Initially there are three options, including heading southeast along the mile-long Lone Pine Trail. The trail, for hikers only, descends to the river. It’s the only part of the trail system I didn’t hike.

Instead I headed in the opposite direction, opting to hike out on the Otter

Bench Trail itself, then linking up with the Opal Creek Trail before returning along the Horny Hollow Trail (the third option from the trailhead) to complete a figure eight.

From the trailhead, the Otter Bench Trail rises gently, almost imperceptibly between towering basalt cliffs to the west and the river-carved canyon to the east. It’s an easy trail that’s suitable for hiking, trail running, horseback riding or mountain biking, and easy enough for just about any skill level.

With the long winter fading and temperatures warming up, Central Oregon is squarely in the middle of its “sprinter” season, says Chris Sabo, trails specialist for the Deschutes National Forest.

Or “wing.” Or whatever you prefer to call this time of seasonal transition.

“Mostly it’s turning into spring out there, finally,” Sabo said Wednesday.

“It’s warming up and conditions are improving a little faster, but we’re probably two weeks behind our normal snow line. At least for some of the mid and upper elevations, there’s still a heck of a lot of snow up there.”

Upper-elevation trails and sno-parks are still good for skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling, and middle elevations are “so-so,” Sabo said. But all areas with snow have springlike conditions, with softer snow and some instability.

Sabo said he has had reports of cornices breaking off and skier-tripped slides in the past week or so.

“Some of this stuff is loosening up there, and there are some interesting layers and bonding that happened throughout the winter,” he said.

“People need to really take a look at conditions before they jump on some of those steeper snowriding opportunities.”

The Dutchman Flat area has more than 10 feet of snow, but lower down, things are looking pretty bare. The Swampy area has 3 to 4 feet, and Meissner is “pretty much done” for the season, Sabo said.

Over in Newberry Crater, conditions for snowmobiling are getting “dicey,” he said. And snowmobilers are advised to stay away from the area south of Devils Lake because of widespread plowing operations along Cascade Lakes Highway.

And if any trails are being groomed out there, they are few and far between. “Most of the grooming has finished up,” Sabo said.

With winter trails receding, attention turns to summer trails, and right now the highlights are the Deschutes River Trail, which is in “pretty good shape,” Sabo said, as well as Phil’s Trail and the trails from Horse Butte out to Swamp Wells, up to about 5,500 feet.

Man wary of wife, friend dining may want more control Dear Abby: I am a marriage counselor writing in response to the March 22 letter from the man who objected to his wife having dinner with a mutual (male) friend while the writer was on a business trip. I found his signature, “Feeling Cheated On in Illinois,” excessive, perhaps even a signal he has an “ownership” attitude toward his spouse, which is associated with controlling behavior. In the absence of any reason to distrust her, why is he so upset?

My husband of 20 years was going to Japan for a week to visit our foster daughter. I was unable to go, so one of my female friends went with him instead. My husband is attractive, and no doubt has had many opportunities to cheat. I realize many spouses are unfaithful, but you don’t keep them faithful by keeping them on a short leash. All that does is make a potential cheater sneakier.

Because spouses who cheat sometimes claim their lovers-inwaiting are “just friends” doesn’t mean men and women can’t be “just friends.” “Illinois” is insecure at best, controlling at worst.

I think he should have a one-time appointment with a therapist and discuss his expectations of his wife.

— Barbara in Maine Dear Barbara: I heard from readers who have firsthand experience in this subject. And many of them agreed with you.

Read on: Dear Abby: I’m an at-home wife of a husband who travels frequently. He has logged more than 3 million frequent-flier miles in the last 20 years. I’ll bet the “Illinois” man dines out often with female colleagues. It’s a fact of business life these days. And I’ll bet a lot of the women are married, too. So, really, what’s the difference?

DEAR ABBY He needs to look inward at his own actions and ability to trust.

While travel may be part of his job, why must his wife be denied adult companionship when he’s away? A man and woman eating out together doesn’t automatically equal “date.” I do it often when my husband travels. I pay my own way and meet my friend(s) at the restaurant. It’s a “get-together” and the only way I can stay sane.

— Been There and Will Continue Dear Abby: I’m a married woman with single and married male friends. I go out for lunches and dinners with all of them. Some live out of state and we e-mail often.

I also have outings with female pals, some of whom are lesbians.

“Illinois” needs to figure out why he doesn’t trust his wife and his good friend. My husband socializes without me as well. He even goes to lunch sometimes with an old girlfriend. Either you trust your partner or you don’t.

— Secure and Happy in California Dear Abby: I hurt for the wife who is stuck at home “several nights a week.” Why couldn’t her husband just say, “Good for you, you have company!”? Married people can be friends with other married members of the opposite sex. If “Illinois” can’t handle that reality, then he should find a job that lets him be home with his wife every night.

NBC’s ’The Voice’ bests ‘American Idol’ with scorching singers, feisty judges

By Greg Evans Bloomberg News

NBC’s “The Voice” combines game-show dazzle with talent-competition drama, all but declaring this season’s gooey “American Idol” a lilylivered has-been.

Making good on its pledge to showcase contestants’ vocal abilities over style and looks, “The Voice” unveiled a scorching initial lineup of singers in last week’s premiere.

Twenty-six-year-old Vicci Martinez’s powerhouse rendition of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” blew away anything offered this season by the unexceptional roster of “Idol” hopefuls.

Beyond the competition itself, “The Voice,” produced by reality-show vet Mark Burnett (“Survivor,” “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”), seems designed as an antidote to the lovey-dovey judges’ panel that’s drained all the drama from this season’s “Idol” on Fox. “Voice” judges — country star Blake Shelton, pop singer Christina Aguilera, rock frontman Adam Levine and R&B superstar Cee Lo Green — vie against one another to recruit the most promising singers, compiling competitive teams of vocalists. A season-long winnowing process will land the last singer standing a recording contract and $100,000.

In format, “The Voice” literally turns the tables on “Idol.”

During the current “blind audition” rounds, judges (or “coaches,” in “Voice” parlance) face away from the singers.

If, say, Aguilera likes what she hears, she presses a button that swivels her seat to face the music, then attempts to persuade the singer to join her team.

“I have people I know,”

Aguilera promised sought-after contestant Javier Colon, whose sultry “Time After Time” was a highlight of the night.

“I’ve got people, too, baby,” Levine shot back.

The good-natured rivalry among the coaches seems Burnett’s clear response to the congenial, friction-free approach of “Idol” judges Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson.

The two-hour “Voice” premiere, given a prime-time repeat the following night by a bullish NBC, displayed an appealing chemistry among the coaches that has eluded the new “Idol” judges.

Neither Burnett nor his show are subtle in their “Idol” digs. One contestant who passed the first round of auditions was Frenchie Davis, the 2007 “Idol” semifinalist booted from that show when topless photos from her past resurfaced. After Davis landed on Aguilera’s team, host Carson Daly combined congratulations with a snipe by gushing, “People are going to love what you represent, which is never give up.”

Where “The Voice” falters is its complicated elimination process.

The blind audition rounds will be followed by team competitions and individual eliminations, per-

formed on a stage that resembles a boxing ring as envisioned by the set designer of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

Even after several on-air explanations, I’m not entirely sure how it will play out, a marked departure from the elegant simplicity of the “Idol” sing and judge format.

Jerry Seinfeld in the offices of the Ammirati advertising company in New York on Tuesday. Seinfeld is preparing to debut his website, designed by Ammirati, which will hold nearly every recorded comedy performance he has given.

Seinfeld starts website of his stand-up routines

By Dave Itzkoff New York Times News Service

Over the course of a comedy career of 36 years and counting and nine seasons of a singularly influential sitcom, Jerry Seinfeld has built a vast repository of stand-up material but was never truly master of his domain, in the online sense.

That will change on Friday with the debut of his website, JerrySeinfeld.com, an online home for video of nearly every recorded comedy performance given by its creator and namesake, who at 57 is hardly in his autumn years but is contemplating posterity.

“I really thought, ‘Where’s my stuff going to be when I’m dead?’ ” Seinfeld said Tuesday in an interview. “Is it just gone for all time? Who could sift through it?

I thought, I should filter this out and be the judge of what I thought was good.”

For the site Seinfeld has opened his vault and come back with more than 1,000 clips of his stand-up act and comedic interviews. One segment dates to 1977, when Seinfeld, wearing glasses and wide lapels and speaking with a distinct Noo Yawk accent, made his television debut on “Celebrity Cabaret.” The others range from his first network television appearance, on a 1981 broadcast of “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” (an occasion whose 30th anniversary coincides with the site’s opening day), to the present.

‘Portion control’ But each day the Web page will offer only three of these videos, chosen by Seinfeld, a strategy that reflects his theories about online content as well as his concerns about what he called “portion control.”

“I don’t want everything,” he said. “Burger King now has a burger where you decide how many patties. How disgusting is that? That’s the problem right there. That’s the cultural moment that I am repudiating here.”

Seated in a conference room at the Union Square offices of Ammirati, the advertising agency that designed the site for him, Seinfeld offered a demonstration of the project.

Beginning with a home page that features a simple black-andwhite photograph of him in midperformance and covered in the

names of his characteristically quotidian routines (“The Pharmacist Is Two Feet Higher”; “The Ocean Doesn’t Want Us In It”) the site links to a mission statement and a roster of Seinfeld’s current tour dates.

Clicking on the titles of three routines at the top of the page — the only elements in color — brought up video of those performances, including a youthful Seinfeld in that momentous “Tonight Show” debut, riffing about the holder of the Guinness record for world’s fattest man. (“Fourteen hundred pounds. Ladies and gentlemen, the man has let himself go.”)

Organization Seinfeld said the site had been inspired in part by his interactions with a young nephew and his 10-year-old daughter, Sascha, who have become interested in the personas and routines of stand-up comedians at about the same age he did.

Though much of Seinfeld’s material exists in unauthorized forms around the Web, he said: “Who can go through the ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ catacombs of YouTube?

It’s completely random.”

Seinfeld spent several months gathering recordings from his personal archives and industry colleagues and having them digitized. Meanwhile the Ammirati agency created a content-management system for the site that allowed Seinfeld to search the clips by title, source, running time or a one- to four-star rating that he assigned them.

Matthew Ammirati, the agency’s president, said he and his team initially tried to talk Seinfeld into a flashier website with far more bells and whistles.

“We were saying, ‘We want you Twittering, we want to do apps for you, we’ll have a video camera on your head,’ ” Ammirati said, exaggerating somewhat.

But Seinfeld made clear that Twitter was not his thing (“That’s stand-up with a net,” he said) and that he had no interest in writing a blog of his thoughts and observations, as many other comedians do.

“Everybody’s doing that easy stuff because that’s easy,” he said.

“I want to show something that I worked hard on, and was really hard for me to do.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 5, 2011: This year, new ideas naturally come forward. You are more willing than in the past to try different experiences.

You are often very lighthearted and silly. At other times, people try to approach you on a vulnerable and serious level. Follow your instincts from situation to situation. If you are single, someone too good to be true is most likely just that.

Take your time and find out the whole story. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from weekends away together, just the two of you. GEMINI can be very controlling and possessive.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You express yourself more than usual. The more gently you express your feelings, the better the reaction. Don’t get upset when an intellectual discussion occurs out of the blue. You want a mix of both.

Tonight: Add that special spark.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Curb a tendency to be possessive. Others might be overly serious or touchy. This is a short-lived phase. You will make it through a problem with ease.

Someone lets you know how he or she feels. This person is not as sure of him- or herself as he or she, or you, might like. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are all smiles, and others respond to that energy

most happily. Still, there is a seriousness when eyeing a child or loved one. Just be yourself, and everything will work out.

Tonight: So what if it is Thursday night? Start the weekend right.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might not be as sure of yourself as usual. Someone could be pushing your buttons, and your reaction could be over the top, too.

Don’t allow anyone to trigger you but you. Understanding evolves.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities as you rarely have. How you view a changeable situation could be very different from your initial response. Your abilities vary with different people. A serious, stubborn person could be harder to convince than someone you adore. Tonight: Where the action is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others often envy how you accept different work and what you do with difficult situations. Honestly, you might wonder whether making that extra effort is worth it. You often wonder if you would have a greater impact if you pushed others less. Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might be reaching out for something that isn’t quite reachable. You might want to take a challenge. Listen to news that is forthcoming, and allow more perspective and knowledge. Tonight: Let your imagination make the call.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Togetherness takes

a strange turn when you least anticipate it. You might wonder what is going on within a key relationship. Talking through various ideas and feelings could point to where you might be negative. Tonight: Make it cozy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities.

You could be overthinking a situation. No matter what you do, you’ll come up all smiles. Others dominate and have clear choices.

Listen to them; ask questions that give you grounding. Tonight: Sort through your choices.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Dive into work knowing which way to go and why you are heading in that chosen direction. Evaluate an existing situation with an eye to new potential and possibilities. Enrich and empower that which exists rather than begin anew. Tonight: Make sure you get some exercise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Check out a situation with a little more care. You might not know what you want to accomplish. You might decide it is time to back out quickly and with ease. Use your innate creativity and communication style.

Tonight: Make it light and easy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Remain confident when dealing with others. Revise your opinions, especially involving a child or loved one. Your sense of humor comes through when you decide on an expenditure involving your home and family. You really might not be sure what to do. Tonight: At home. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Otter Bench Continued from E1 The route crosses a brushy landscape with distant views of the canyon, a mere foreshadowing of things to come.

In about 1.7 miles, the trail reaches a four-way intersection, the middle of my figure eight. I continued along the Opal Canyon Trail, a 3.5-mile lollipop loop that, at times, is rougher and more challenging than Otter Bench. In some sections, the rocky trail comes precipitously close to the steep slope down to the river, adding a little bit of adrenalin to a bike ride, and grand views of the river for the hiker.

After a half mile from the intersection, the trail begins a loop that takes you out to an overlook above the river.

Pick your way carefully off trail here to the rocky ledge for a dizzying view of the river below as it crooks its way between the steep canyon walls, then out of sight. The views of the gorge are definitely the highlight of the trip.

After completing the loop and returning to the four-way stop, I took a side trip down the Pink Trail, which drops 400 feet in about a half-mile to a

viewpoint along the river. (For the sake of safety, and to protect the trail, mountain bikes and horses aren’t allowed on the Pink Trail.)

The route is steep and requires sure footing to descend the rocky staircase. Your reward is a cool oasis of shade on the edge of the river. It’s a wonderful spot to relax, have a bite to eat and shed a layer before climbing back up the trail.

The Horny Hollow Trail offers the quickest return to the trailhead, but it’s little more than a dirt road. And other than a few jackrabbits, there was little to see. It was days after the hike that I found out the trail crosses an area closed for wildlife preservation Feb. 1 to Aug. 31.

Take the Otter Bench Trail back; it’s a touch longer but much more pleasant.

The entire figure eight is a little less than eight miles long, and takes two to three hours to hike. A side trip on the Pink Trail adds nearly another mile and about a half hour of hiking time.

May is a wonderful time to head out to the Crooked River Canyon, particularly in the morning when temperatures are still cool. My guess is you could probably hike here through most of the winter

The Otter Bench Trail System is a good alternative to the trails at nearby Smith Rock State Park, especially if you’d like a little more solitude. I didn’t see a single soul on my three-hour hike, just plenty of High Desert brush. Well, there were the few houses perched on the cliffs above. But with the view of the gorge, who can blame them?

Continued from E1 One note: On the next two Fridays — May 6 and May 13 — a 3/8-mile section of the Deschutes River Trail between Lava Island Trailhead and Meadow Day Use Area will be closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. while a large crew does work to widen and stabilize the trail, Sabo said.

People will still be able to access a couple of areas within the closure. A path from Lava Island Trailhead down to the nearby shelter and interpretive area will be open, as will the path from Meadow Day Use Area up to the pond below Seventh Mountain Resort. Both will be out-andback-type hikes, though, with access to the main river trail closed, Sabo said.

Sabo also expects Tumalo Falls to open in the near future, and he said the Peterson Ridge and Metolius areas near Sisters are in pretty good shape, as is the loop trail around Suttle Lake.

Crews are finding lots of trees across trails this year. “Be patient with the blowdown,” he said, “and the snow.”

Second-guessing

LASIK eye surgery

Veggies lose nutrients to time, but details vary

By Anne Aurand The Bulletin

If the old green pepper you found in the back corner of the fridge is shriveled and bruised, is it still as nutritious as it was in its better days? What if it looks fine, but it’s been sitting there for a week or two?

Definitive, quantitative studies have not addressed the question of time’s effect on nutrients, but generally speaking, fruits and vegetables do lose nutritional content over time, according to Denver-based dietitian Mary Lee Chin. And if fruits and vegetables look tattered and torn, they’ve lost some nutritional value.

Food that is picked at maturity — at the peak of its ripeness — and eaten soon after has the most nutritional value, she said.

“That’s the advantage of local food. It’s picked closer to when it’s sold,” she said. But mature produce also loses its nutritional quality faster, she said, so it should be eaten within two or three days at the most.

The United States Department of Agriculture says some fruits and vegetables may lose as much as 50 percent of their nutrients within three to five days. In any case, produce should never hang around uneaten for weeks, Chin said.

See Time / F8

Generally speaking, fresh produce loses nutritional value over time. But specifics are nearly impossible to quantify.

soon, it is underscoring for patients the notion that no surgical procedure is without risks.

And in the case of an elective procedure, it’s up to the patient to determine whether the potential benefits outweigh the risks.

By the numbers LASIK eye surgery is a two-step procedure that starts with cutting a thin circular flap in the cornea. The surgeon folds the flap out of the way and uses a laser to reshape the corneal tissue underneath. The reshaped cornea is then able to properly focus light into the eye and onto the retina, correcting vision problems. The vast majority of patients end up with 20-20 or even 20-15 vision within a day or two after surgery. According to the eye surgery group, 17 million Americans have had LASIK surgery over the last decade.

Sports bras are important for women who run or do aerobic exercise, but choosing a quality garment is even more consequential for large-breasted women.

The snug feeling of a sports bra is meant to protect the Cooper’s ligaments, fibrous strands that support breast tissue. Wearing a good running bra can help postpone inevitable breast sag, as well as prevent discomfort that accompanies improperly supported breasts during active exercise.

“Since these relatively flimsy bands (the Cooper’s ligaments) are our only internal structure of support for the breast tissue, gravity and physical activity stretch the unsupported or improperly supported ligaments,” said Heather Hynes, a sales associate at Fleet Feet Sports in Bend. “This is why women feel pain in their breasts during exercise.”

EXER C ISE TIPS STRETCHING PART 6

Pectorals

By Vicky Hallett The Washington Post

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Matt Kirchoff, a physical therapist with Therapeutic Associates in Bend, offers stretching tips for people to do at home to address common muscle imbalances.

This is the last of a series of six stretches featured in The Bulletin.

Kirchoff said stretches should be held at least 30 seconds, and should be done gently, without straining or bouncing. Stretches can be done more than once a day.

What: Corner stretch for pectorals, the chest.

Who: Good for posture. Anyone who works at a computer or who drives a lot. It’s also good for golfers and tennis players.

How: Face a corner with hands just above shoulder level, and feet at least a foot away from the wall.

Lean forward until a comfortable stretch is felt across the chest.

Hold at least 30 seconds.

Tips: Keep elbows at shoulder height. — Anne Aurand, The Bulletin

How to have a talk with your trainer

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

If you decide to hire a personal trainer, good communication will be critical to meeting your fitness goals, says Bridgit Kin-Charlton, owner of B-defined Innovative Personal Training & Wellness in Williamsburg, Va. Some tips: Talk about specific goals.

What do you want most: to lose a certain amount of weight, tone your arms, have a flatter stomach or maybe run a 5K in a certain amount of time? Let your trainer know.

Relay your history. If you’ve tried to shape up before, share what worked for you and what didn’t. Be honest about your pitfalls, such as a tendency to load up on junk food and skip workouts after a stressful day at work.

Be upfront about health problems. Your trainer should know about medications that affect heart rate or blood pressure; chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or stroke; recent surgeries; sleep patterns; and general stress level.

Share what motivates you.

Some people thrive on gentle encouragement, while others prefer a bit of in-your-face barking. Weigh-ins also are negotiable, Kin-Charlton says: “Some clients are motivated by getting on the scale each week; others go into a state of depression.�

Give feedback. If you hated or loved a certain workout,

Thinkstock

When communicating with a fitness trainer, it is often best to be upfront and honest. don’t be afraid to say so. Your trainer may be able to work in more of what you like — or at least explain why you’re doing a routine.

Be honest. If you’ve skipped any diet or exercise “homework� your trainer gave you, admit it. Don’t pretend you’ve been walking 30 minutes daily if you haven’t.

Get contact information.

Many trainers will share an email address or cellphone number for communication on days you’re not together.

“How many more do we have?� trainer Angel Mann shouted to a dozen students at Howard University in Washington. The correct answer was “Eight,� which the group panted back in unison while pumping their knees in the air. Twice a week, Mann takes over the common room at Tubman Quad, a freshman dorm, to lead an hour of aerobics, strength training, core work and dance.

It’s probably not the class most high school seniors envision when thinking about their collegiate careers. But it’s a vital resource for members of the Howard community, including 18year-old freshman Neena Speer. “If I’m on my own, I don’t work out as hard,� says Speer, who credits regular attendance with helping her drop from a size 18 to 14 over the past few months.

In a society that’s heavier than ever, students remain as busy as ever, so it’s up to colleges to figure out how to make physical activity an integral part of campus life.

Offering facilities and services costs money, but for the most part, students use them for free (not counting tuition, of course).

The exceptions are specialized group exercise classes and personal training, which usually come with a nominal fee. “If you pay for something, you’ll do it,� says Kelly Oddy, assistant director for recreational sports and fitness at American University, which charges $65 per semester for a group exercise class pass.

And when they do it, they see results, school fitness directors say. The goal isn’t to force the entire student body to become jocks, but to get the benefits of healthier living.

Student satisfaction numbers have soared at Johns Hopkins University since the O’Connor Recreation Center opened in 2002, vastly increasing activity outlets for students. “This is a recruiting tool,� says William Harrington, senior associate director of the department of athletics and recreation. Right then, a tour group marches in to marvel at the cardio room with floor-to-ceiling windows, the indoor track and a climbing wall. (“I’d totally do that,� says 17year-old Patrick Mullins, a New Yorker who was visiting schools with his dad.)

No matter what schools offer, they’re competing against students’ hectic schedules. Haley Crock, a 20-year-old sophomore at the University of Maryland, said the spectacular natatorium was one of the reasons she came to College Park. But laps are rarely in the cards. “I’m a mechanical engineer, so I don’t have time,� says Crock, even though her dorm is “right there.�

Sports bras come in many styles at specialty running stores such as Footzone.

Bras Continued from F1 High-quality sports bras are sold in athletic specialty stores, recreational gear stores and even chain department stores that sell sportswear. Expect to spend anywhere from $30 to $65.

Specialty running or exercise supply shops will help with proper fittings. And it’s wise to get measured annually, Hynes said, because bra sizes can change with weight change, pregnancy or simply with age.

For large-breasted women, she said, there is “absolutely no reason they should have to wear more than one sports bra. It is a common practice for largechested women to layer several less-than-quality sports bras.�

For bigger cup sizes, she recommends the Enell brand (Oprah’s sports bra) or Moving Comfort brand models Fiona, Juno or Maya. “All breasts are susceptible to ligament damage,� she

added. “Even the small-chested gals should be in a properly fitted sports bra.�

Below are things to look for when shopping, according to Hynes, with additional information from Fleet Feet’s website and www.movingcomfort.com: • Buy synthetic fabric, not cotton. This will wick moisture from the skin, which is more comfortable and reduces the chance of chafing. Bras should have a mesh area for venting and wide-bottomed bands for support. • Try on the bra, clasp your hands overhead and make sure the band around the chest doesn’t shift or bind. Do some jumping jacks and check to see if the fabric is chafing or leaving marks anywhere. Think about whether the straps are comfortable. Make sure they don’t dig into the shoulders. • If bra fabric puckers, the cup size is too big. If there’s tissue spilling above the bra, the cup size is too small.

Jenny Hendrickson, a buyer at Footzone, said there are two strategies used in support: compression and encapsulation.

Compression is when the bra

presses breasts against the chest wall as a single unit to limit movement. This works fine for small to medium sizes, like A and B size cups.

Encapsulation is when the bra cups surround and support each breast individually. This style of sports bra looks more like regular-use bras. Some have an underwire.

For women with larger breasts, finding a bra that provides both support strategies is generally best, Hendrickson said. Many bras combine both methods.

To make the expensive garments last longer, wash them in a bra bag on the delicate cycle and lay them flat to dry, said Hynes.

Sports bras need to be replaced every six to 12 months, she said, depending on what they’re used for, how many times they get washed, and how frequently they’re worn. The fabric and elastics break down just like running shoes and eventually they stop working effectively.

More hospitals are finding relief in palliative care

By Michelle Andrews Special to The Washington Post

If you’ve never heard of palliative care, you’re not alone. In a recent survey, only 24 percent of people said they were familiar with the term. Palliative care isn’t nearly as well known as, say, hospice care; in fact, people often confuse the two. Its use is growing fast, however, and 59 percent of hospitals with more than 50 beds now have palliative care programs. Hospitals like this type of care because it appears to be costeffective and may improve health outcomes. Patients — once they know about it — like it because it can make them feel better.

The goal of palliative care is simple: Improve the quality of life for people who are dealing with serious chronic or life-threatening medical problems. People with diseases such as cancer, congestive heart failure, HIV/AIDS and kidney failure often have tremendous problems with pain, shortness of breath, fatigue and nausea, among other symptoms.

Especially in a busy hospital, it’s challenging to keep these patients comfortable and pain-free and to help them deal with the difficult medical and personal decisions they may face. That’s where palliative care comes in.

Specially trained palliative care teams, which typically include a doctor, a nurse, a social worker and a spiritual counselor, focus on relieving pain and managing symptoms. They coordinate a patient’s care among different providers, if necessary, and help patients and their families determine care goals and make treatment decisions. If a patient is nearing death, the palliative care team can offer emotional and spiritual support.

‘More comfort’ Palliative care — from the Latin “palliare,” which means

“to cloak” — grew out of the hospice movement that began in the 1970s. “We showed that you don’t have to die in pain,” recalls Michael Levy, director of the pain and palliative care program at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. “You can have more comfort and function, and attend to the anticipatory grief work that helps the patient and the family.”

As hospice care became more established, policymakers and clinicians realized that seriously ill patients, even when not facing death, could benefit from better pain and symptom management and other palliative care services.

Today, hospice care is at one end of the spectrum of palliative care.

But while hospice is generally offered to people who are expected to live six months or less, palliative care can be provided in conjunction with curative treatments. Many patients who receive it aren’t expected to die anytime soon.

After Andre Chervin began a series of radiation sessions in 2008 to treat a cancerous mass in his throat, he caught a virus that causes severe diarrhea and was admitted to Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York for a week.

While there, Chervin was in extreme discomfort because the radiation treatments had dried up his saliva, making his mouth and throat so dry that he couldn’t swallow.

“It was horrible,” says Chervin, now 83. “You cannot eat; you can only drink.”

The palliative care team visited him and set him up with a spray bottle that contained artificial saliva that he could spray into his throat. The liquid didn’t taste pleasant, but at least it allowed him to swallow.

Patients are sometimes confused and alarmed when the palliative care team comes to their room, says Donna Nolde, pal-

Cost benefits • A study in the March edition of Health Affairs found that Medicaid patients at four New York state hospitals who received palliative care on average incurred nearly $7,000 less in hospital costs per admission than Medicaid patients who didn’t receive palliative care.

• This study supports the results of a 2008 Archives of Internal Medicine study of non-Medicaid patients at eight hospitals that showed average savings of about $1,700 for those who survived a hospital stay and $4,900 for those who did not.

liative care program manager for Chandler Regional Medical Center and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, both near Phoenix.

When members of the team introduce themselves, they immediately clarify that they’re not hospice workers. “You have to do it quickly or you lose them,” she says. “They think, ‘There’s something wrong with me!’ “ Although palliative care is still a relatively new field, research is beginning to show benefits. A study published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine found that lung cancer patients who received palliative care had better quality of life, were less depressed and lived longer than those receiving standard care.

Palliative care is cost-effective as well.

Dr. Laura Mavity, a palliative care physician at St. Charles Bend, helps facilitate communication among people involved in medical care, explaining options to patients, talking to families and consulting on cases at the request of physicians.

Insurance issues Despite its apparent cost-effectiveness, insurers typically don’t yet reimburse hospitals for palliative services beyond doctor visits and care related to hospice.

“Unless you have a healthcare system or a large hospital funding the rest of the team, you really can’t provide (palliative) care,” says Michael Nisco, medical director of hospice and palliative care services at Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno, Calif.

When Martin Arnold’s 94-

year-old mother was admitted to Saint Agnes last month, a blood clot in her leg had caused a systemic infection; her condition was dire.

When she arrived at the hospital, Arnold says, she was in tremendous pain, moaning and fidgeting. A member of the palliative care team visited her and gave her a morphine drip to ease the pain in her leg. She went to sleep and never regained consciousness.

“It was a total relief to the family to get her someplace where they were able to give her what she needed to keep her peaceful,” he says.

Most people with serious illnesses aren’t in the hospital, of course, and the future of palliative care lies outside acute-care facilities, says Diane E. Meier,

Mount Sinai’s palliative care program director and the director of the Center to Advance Palliative Care, a group that helps hospitals and others develop palliative care programs. In the next decade, she expects to see palliative care emerge in individual physician offices, clinics and other community settings.

“That’s where most of the patients are,” she says, “and that’s where the need is.”

Special to The Washington Post

When Jase and Jennie Stefanski needed to pay a midwife her $5,000 fee for delivering their sixth child 10 months ago, the money came from an unlikely source: people who are members, like them, of a Christian nonprofit group called Samaritan Ministries.

In dribs and drabs, the checks arrived, most between $135 and $320, many with personal notes attached congratulating the family.

The Stefanskis don’t have health insurance. Instead, they belong to a “health-care sharing ministry” whose members follow biblical teachings that they share each other’s burdens — in this case, their medical costs. Each member pays a monthly fee that varies with family size: Single members generally pay $135, couples $270, single-parent families $200 and two-parent families $320. Members pay the first $300 for any medical expense they incur; when they have bills — or “needs,” as they call them — above that amount, they send them to the ministry’s Peoria, Ill., offices.

The ministry keeps track of the needs, informing other members where to send their monthly check, and letting those who have made requests know what checks to expect.

If there’s a shortfall, every household seeking help gets a prorated portion of its needs covered, and the ministry asks members for voluntary contributions to make up the difference. If the shortfall continues, members vote on raising the share amount.

With 56,000 members, Samaritan is the largest such ministry in the country. Two other major ministries operate slightly differently — pooling members’ money and sending checks out from the ministry — bringing the total number of people who are sharing their medical costs to roughly 125,000.

Health-care sharing ministries aren’t for everyone. In general, members must be practicing Christians — attested to by their pastor in some cases -and abstain from tobacco and illegal drug use.

They must agree not to have sex outside marriage — and typically cannot seek help for any medical expenses that arise from such sexual activity. Rules vary about when or if the ministries cover preexisting medical conditions.

Although the ministries say that they’re not provid-

ing health insurance and are therefore exempt from state insurance regulations, states sometimes beg to differ.

Concerned that members may believe such ministries guarantee coverage of their medical bills, regulators have at times tried to shut them down. “They’ve made a commitment to what is effectively health insurance, that when you need to have your medical bills paid they’ll help or will pay those costs for you,” says Mike Kreidler, Washington state’s insurance commissioner.

Last month, Kreidler’s department issued a cease-anddesist order to Samaritan.

Nonetheless, Kreidler says he believes Samaritan is an “upfront group” and notes that no complaints have been filed with his office against them.

But within days of Kreidler’s order, the legislature passed an amendment to an existing bill exempting health-care sharing ministries from state insurance regulations. The bill is on the governor’s desk.

Eleven states have laws that specifically exempt healthcare sharing ministries from state insurance regulation.

The federal health-care overhaul adopted by Congress last year also recognizes ministries that share health-care expenses as part of their religious practice. The law exempts members of such ministries from the penalty that will be levied against individuals who don’t purchase health insurance starting in 2014, a fact which all three of the major ministries highlight to varying degrees on their websites.

Time for a private advocate?

By Kristen Gerencher MarketWatch

SAN FRANCISCO — A medical issue can spring up with sudden ferocity, and even savvy patients can find themselves overwhelmed when trying to navigate care and insurance. Private health-care advocates can help — typically for a fee.

They help resolve medical-billing problems, fight insurancecoverage denials, aid in complex medical decision-making and find the right specialist or hospital for a particular condition.

Some even accompany patients to doctors’ offices and other care settings.

Health-care advocates can work intensively during a medical crisis or sporadically if a client’s needs are more episodic.

They’re different from the advocates most hospitals employ directly, who offer patients more limited assistance only during a hospital stay.

Advocates typically charge $50 to $200 an hour, says Joanna Smith, president of the National Association of Healthcare Advocacy Consultants, a professional group in Berkeley, Calif. Consumers looking to hire one can search online directories run by the NAHAC and a company called AdvoConnection.

M LASIK Continued from F1 Waxler contends, however, that LASIK surgery is neither as effective nor as safe as the industry maintains. In his petition, he cites research data that more than 43 percent of patients will still be wearing corrective lenses six to 12 months after surgery and that 55 percent of patients will be unhappy with their vision seven years after surgery. In the petition, he has accused the industry of hiding the true rate of LASIK injuries from the FDA in order to get approval.

“The reason the companies met the 1 percent rate was because they excluded certain problems, such as dry eye, night driving and halos,” he said. “If you add those problems in there, you get somewhere between 5 and 20 percent.”

Eye surgeons counter that Waxler is lumping minor inconveniences with serious adverse events to inflate the error rate.

Dr. R. Doyle Stulting, president of the eye surgery groups, called Waxler’s view of LASIK “misinformed, unsupported by evidence and lacking in balance and perspective.”

“Laser vision correction is one of the most studied elective surgical procedures, with 9,101 patients representing 16,502 eyes in U.S. FDA clinical trials from 1993 to 2005 — not to mention more recent submissions to the FDA and thousands of other patients reported in the published literature,” Stulting wrote in a letter to Waxler. “The FDA review process is more stringent than that of any other country in the world.”

Eye surgeons also objected that Waxler was using data that are now 20 years old from machines that have long since been surpassed by better technology.

While no procedure is risk free, LASIK advocates maintain that the current generation of surgical devices have much lower rates of complications, and doctors’ abilities to address the problems that

do occur are much better.

But Waxler doesn’t put much stock in the industry’s argument that better technology has reduced the error rates. He believes that LASIK as a procedure is unsafe.

“The eyeball is not a piece of plastic that you’re cutting. It’s a live piece of tissue. When you cut it, you’re cutting across nerves, and you create a less stable eye,”

he said. “No matter how you do the surgery, it’s part and parcel of the LASIK fundamentals.”

Happy patients Perhaps the best data on the safety and effectiveness come from the U.S. military, which provides free LASIK surgery to any member who meets the medical criteria for the procedure. An

analysis of LASIK surgery in the U.S. Army from 2000 to 2003, involving more than 32,000 treated eyes, found that 86 percent of soldiers achieved 20/20 vision, and 98 percent had 20/40 vision or better. Nearly 94 percent of the soldiers surveyed about their operations reported better or much better overall readiness for combat after their surgery.

The military has adopted

LASIK even for soldiers whose vision is critical to their tasks, such as snipers and fighter pilots, and NASA has recently approved LASIK for its astronauts.

Meanwhile, a 2009 review of more than 1,500 laser surgery studies from military and civilian sites found that LASIK patients are overwhelmingly happy with their results, a 95 percent patient satisfaction rate.

Data from TLC Laser Vision Centers in 2008 found a 99 percent satisfaction rate with the latest generation of devices.

But with nearly a million LASIK procedures in the U.S. each year, even a 1 percent dissatisfaction rate leaves 10,000 patients unhappy.

Brenda Ross, 50, of Molalla, Ore., has run a support group for people in Oregon and Washington who have had bad outcomes after LASIK surgery. To her surprise and delight, fewer patients are now seeking the group’s help.

“The numbers have really dwindled down, which is amazing and wonderful,” she said.

“The problems that used to happen were huge, huge horrific problems.”

Now the most frequent complaints, she said, are more inconveniences than true adverse outcomes.

Ross had LASIK surgery in 1999 and says her doctor cut too deeply, leaving her in need of a cornea transplant. “I went in as a -7 and came out with a -24,” she said. She now wears a large custom contact lens that she must insert and remove with a plunger.

The damage was in her dominant eye, and she said it takes years to retrain the brain to ignore the signals from a damaged eye and let the good eye take over. Until that happens, most people learn coping techniques.

“We have a saying in our group, ‘When in doubt, shut it out,’” she said. “You close one eye and get the real picture.”

Patients with damaged vision develop all sorts of tricks to sur-

vive. One member of her group attached florescent stars sold as ceiling decorations around the frame of his door to avoid walking into the wall. Others clip small lights to the brims of their visors, shining them into their eyes while driving to make their pupils smaller.

A sense of humor also seems to help.

“You’ve heard of the LASIK salute?” she joked. “You put your hand over one eye.”

Ross is also a disabled veteran, having torn both quadriceps muscles while in the service.

But she says it’s a lot easier to cope with her physical disability than her damaged vision.

“There’s a lot of things I can do. I can sit down and read a book, I can take a bath, and forget I’m disabled,” she said.

“There’s nothing you can do when you’ve got an eye injury to forget you’ve got a disability.”

Medical advances Eye surgeons concur with Ross’ notion that the rate of adverse effects is falling. Surgeons are getting better at determining which patients can be successfully treated with LASIK surgery and who is at risk for complications. In 1998, doctors discovered that some patients were at risk of a bulging of the cornea after surgery, a problem known as ectasia. By 2005, surgeons had developed a set of screening criteria to help identify patients who were likely to experience the problem.

“When any new technology comes out, they treat everybody and then they learn from those earlier cases who’s a good candidate,” said Dr. Ida Alul, a LASIK surgeon with InFocus Eye Care in Bend. “The parameters have become more clearly defined as to who makes a good laser candidate. And the technology is just so dramatically improved.”

InFocus, for example, recently acquired the first bladeless LASIK system in Central Oregon.

From previous page Instead of using a mechanical device called a microkeratome to create the initial incision in the eye, the new system uses a laser to make that incision. That allows the doctors to create a thinner flap that heals more quickly and reduces the chances of side effects, such as halos or glare.

InFocus also has what’s known as a fixed site laser, which they said is the only one in the region.

“In the past, laser surgery done in Bend was performed using a laser that was brought in from elsewhere and rolled on and off a truck,” Alul said.

“The laser was very accurate, but patient safety and confidence in the procedure will likely be improved with the fixed site laser.”

Without moving the machine from office to office, there’s less chance the machine won’t be properly calibrated. The new machine is also much better at tracking the patient’s eye, cutting down the time it takes to reshape the cornea from about 30 seconds to about 12 seconds per eye.

“All the tiny little movements your eye makes, the laser is readjusting to where the iris is 400 times per second,”

said Dr. Patricia Buehler, Alul’s partner at InFocus. “That makes it a lot more accurate.”

The doctors can also take advantage of greater automation in determining how to treat each patient. The manufacturer of the laser provides a website where doctors can enter patient information and see how other doctors have treated similar cases and their results.

But Buehler cautions that however good the technology is, doctors can’t control for the individuality of patients, and although complications are rare, they’re not avoidable.

“The new technology does reduce the level of doctor error a lot,” she said. “The reason it’s surgery still is that people have individual responses.”

Waxler hasn’t heard back from the FDA yet on his petition, but he has had numerous televised interviews and other press coverage bringing greater attention to the potential risks. Laser eye surgery has become so common that, like many surgical procedures, patients often discount the risks their doctors describe.

“I’m aware that there are risks, but they’re very slim, very small,” said Dr. Mike Henderson, a Bend internist who had LASIK surgery at InFocus in February. “Maybe I wasn’t worried as much about

it as other people because everything I look at has its risks and benefits.”

For Henderson, having the surgery was a quality-of-life issue, allowing him to better enjoy Central Oregon’s recreational offerings.

“You can’t live here and not go outside to bike or hike,” he said.

“To me, the most important reason would be just depth perception when I go skiing, and it was a little hard to see when I went driving at night.”

Doctors caution that even with very low rates of complications, patients shouldn’t take the surgery lightly. And although wearing contact lenses, with the potential for serious eye infections, is not a risk-free proposition either, some of the more serious complications of surgery can’t easily be corrected.

“You can take off your contact lens. You can’t take off your LASIK,” Waxler said. “I’m all for people having choices, but if it’s elective surgery and it involves a critical organ and it has a risk factor that’s high, I think the standard ought to be moved up. Just having 20-20 vision as the standard is not adequate.”

By Harry Jackson Jr. St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — A swim in the ocean off a beach in the Virgin Islands topped Thomas Nichols’ bucket list.

When doctors told him he needed a risky surgery on his heart, he decided to first take the Caribbean detour with his wife and son.

“I knew if I lived, I’d never go swimming again,” Nichols said.

“So I wanted it one last time.

“I didn’t know if I was going to make it back to the hospital; if I did, I didn’t know if I’d leave the hospital alive.”

He survived the trip back to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and a week later awakened from a drug-induced coma feeling like new. Sore, but new.

“It hurt, but not as bad as congestive heart failure,” he said. “I could breathe, I felt 1,000 percent better.”

Surgeons had put a machine in his chest to do most of the work of his heart. That brought lots of changes.

He had no blood pressure, no pulse. “Just that whirring sound you can hear with a stethoscope,” he said. He had a battery pack strapped to his side and a quarter-inch wire poking out of his stomach.

What he remembers most: He was alive.

That was fall 2007. He talks about the device now like a beloved pet always by his side.

Nichols was among the first people in St. Louis to receive the left ventricle assist device — or LVAD. The device, trade name, HeartMate II, pushes blood through the left ventricle. That’s the heart chamber that sends blood into the aorta and to the body.

Dr. Gregory Ewald, medical director of the Cardiac Transplant Program at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, said the device was developed to keep people alive as they waited for heart transplants.

“Over the last 15 years, we’ve transplanted about 2,300 hearts a year in the United States, and that has remained steady; the donor pool is fixed,” Ewald said.

So people could die while waiting for a donor heart, he said.

But a second, not unexpected use evolved for the machine.

Some people with heart failure weren’t eligible to get on a transplant list. The machine has saved a lot of them, Ewald said. About 85 people have the machines in St. Louis.

It’s not a universal solution, Ewald said. It’s for people with left ventricles that stop working.

Thomas Nichols, left, a volunteer counselor for people with cardiac aid devices, talks with Doyle Kirchner in a hospital room at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Nichols, who carries a left ventricular aid device to keep his heart beating, spends much of his time talking with recent recipients of such devices.

Still, it doesn’t replace the transplant. “The heart transplant is still the best option for some, and there are other forms of heart disease,” he said.

“But we have one guy (using an LVAD) we’ve urged to get on the transplant list and he keeps putting us off,” Ewald said. “He’s happy with (the machine).

“We have people now playing golf, dancing, having full lives.”

Nichols’ heart problems actually began with an intestinal disease. In 1996, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and precancerous scars resulted in the removal of his large intestine and rectum.

The therapies nearly destroyed his heart.

“That wrecked my body,” he said. “It was a year before I could sit up in bed without help.

“The doctor told me I had about seven to 10 years of life remaining,” Nichols said.

But he couldn’t get on a heart transplant list because his health had deteriorated. He wouldn’t survive the surgery or the antirejection therapy.

“I put on 50 pounds of water weight; my kidneys and liver failed.”

Originally, he was slated to get a device called the HeartMate I, the dinosaur predecessor of the HeartMate II. “But I read about it, the schematics; I said I wanted the HeartMate II,” he recalled. “I’m a mechanical engineer, and I knew I wanted one moving part, a smaller machine; less to go wrong.”

But that machine was experimental; he’d have to enter trials to get it.

“I fought for that,” he said. “My surgeon fought for it.”

He was accepted into the trials.

Still, he wanted one last fresh breath.

When the transplant staff wanted him to prepare for sur-

gery, he instead announced that he was going swimming with his family.

Ewald said the device is far from being an artificial heart.

The heart must be working for the device to do any good.

Nichols predicts, “Within the next 10 years, there won’t be a need for transplants.

“Think about it. No need to wait for donors, no rejection, no steroids …”

Ewald was more conservative. “I’m thinking in the future, the devices will be totally inside of the body, batteries, too—like pacemakers. But I’m not ready to

say they’re ready to replace the heart.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the HeartMate II for use 15 months ago, Ewald said.

For Nichols, the timing was right. “The thing is place and time: I’m glad I was at this place at this time. If this had been five years earlier, I’d have been hardpressed to get this device,” he said.

As long as he’s walking upright, he feels ahead of the game.

“People say, ‘It’s good to see you,” he said. “I say, it’s good to be seen.”

N Study: High-protein diet may help improve athletes’ endurance measured through time trials and other tests.

Previous research has identified tyrosine, an amino acid found in protein, as a mood-booster, said Tipton. “Whereas we can’t definitively say why the athletes felt a bit better with higher protein intake, it’s possible the availability of tyrosine in our high-protein diet helped diffuse stress, thus contributing to the increase in performance.”

The study concluded that more research is needed.

Carbohydrates have typically been the go-to food for endurance athletes. But a new report published in the American College of Sports Medicine’s scientific journal said adding protein to the diet during and after training was found to improve athletes’ endurance performance slightly and to reduce some stress associated with high-intensity training, such as fatigue.

“Endurance athletes, such as runners or cyclists, commonly rely on nutrition to enhance their post-exercise recovery,” said Kevin Tipton, Ph.D. and researcher at the University of Stirling in Scotland who led the small study, in a news release. “For years, athletes have relied heavily on carbohydrate feeding for recovery. However, we wanted to explore the benefits of protein.”

Eight conditioned long-distance cyclists participated in two, threeweek trials of varying levels of intensity: normal, intensified and recovery. Some groups consumed more protein in their diets, from sources such as powders in a smoothie. Results indicated that the high-protein diet slightly improved athletes’ endurance performance,

Continued from F1 “But then we get to other variables. How it’s handled has a huge impact on maintaining nutritional quality,” said Chin, who is president of Nutrition Edge Communications and a former national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.

Many products are picked under-ripe if they’re going to be shipped some distance, so they can better handle the travel. Think about the cardboard tomatoes sold in Central Oregon this time of year. They hold up in shape, but they don’t taste very good.

Whenever produce is harvested, it needs to be cooled right away because heat and light can damage nutritional quality, Chin said. “Large farms probably have the equipment to cool produce to the right temperature, light and humidity immediately.

Whether smaller local farmers have that, you’d have to ask,” Chin said.

If produce is dumped into boxes and bounced from farm to market, or stored in your trunk on a hot summer day while you run errands, or smashed into crowded refrigerator drawers, it’s probably lost some nutrients.

“When produce is bruised or wilted, it breaks down the integrity of cell walls, and nutrients can leak out,” she said.

Trust your senses: If the cantaloupe smells and looks good, chances are it’s more ripe and nutritional.

And, she added, there might be “tenuous correlational basis” behind the idea that if the flavor of the produce tastes perfect, it is closer to maturity and more nutritionally dense.

Of course, you don’t know how it tastes until after you buy it.

Some nutrients are more

has experienced.

Science has, however, proven that increasing intake of fruits and vegetables decreases risks of various chronic diseases. That applies to fresh, local, organic, imported, dehydrated, frozen and conventional produce, Chin said, “Get it however,” she said. “People shouldn’t get bent out of shape about where it comes from. They should get a good well-based diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.”
