NATIONAL GUARD BONUSES

Walden inquiry gains traction

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

At least 16 members of the Oregon National Guard have been denied bonus payments they were promised upon enlistment, U.S. Rep. Greg Walden said Saturday, while announcing he has the support of the state’s entire congressional delegation in demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Walden, R-Hood River, was in Bend Saturday for a news conference on the story that began with Chelsea Wells, a Milton-Freewater resident who contacted Walden’s office when a $10,000 bonus she’d been promised was refused in December. The money was to be the second half of a $20,000 recruitment bonus, the first half of which was paid to her when she enlisted in December 2007.

Earlier this year, the National Guard contacted Wells to inform her the first bonus payment — awarded because she agreed to serve as an intelligence analyst, a “critical skills” position — should not have been awarded in the first place, and to request repayment of the $10,000. The National Guard has since backed off its insistence on collecting the original $10,000, Walden said Saturday.

SALEM — When lawmakers left the Capitol last month, they congratulated themselves on avoiding political gridlock and bridging the largest revenue shortfall the state has ever faced.

But to balance the budget, and overcome the $3.5 billion shortfall for the 2011-13 biennium, they had to make assumptions and take certain risks. They buffered some of their gambles by ensuring the state has money socked away in reserves. But big wild cards remain, including assumptions about the recovery of Oregon’s economy and the uncertain success of an effort to change the health care system for the poor.

“They have balanced the budget on paper,” said state Treasurer Ted Wheeler, noting that the spending plan assumes savings that will be realized in the second year of the biennium, most notably those related to health care changes.

The “question mark” with the state’s spending plan, Wheeler says, is “whether the savings will materialize. If they do, great. And if they don’t, what additional reductions will they have to make in spending to compensate for the failure of those savings?

That’s the risk inherent in the budget.” (Wheeler, whose office issues state bonds and manages the investment of state funds, is not responsible for the overall state budget.)

Balanced budget? It’s a forecast The state’s 2011-13 general fund and lottery budget is projected to be $14.6 billion, which will be made up largely of fee and tax revenue, the most significant source of which is the personal income tax. The budget also includes $460 million lawmakers have kept in an ending fund balance.

The budget, lawmakers note, is based on forecasted numbers, not actual money in the bank.

WASHINGTON — For years, legislation to raise the federal debt limit offered plenty of political theater on Capitol Hill, with the party out of power using it to rail against the party in power. As a senator, Barack Obama said in 2006 that a bill to raise the debt limit was “a sign of leadership failure.”

MILLBURN, N.J. — Matthew Stewart believes there is a place for charter schools. Just not in his schoolyard.

Stewart, a stay-at-home father of three boys, moved to this wealthy township three years ago, filling his life with class activities and soccer practices. But in recent months, he has traded play dates for protests, enlisting more than 200 families in a campaign to block two Mandarinimmersion charter schools from opening in the area.

The group, Millburn Parents Against Charter Schools, argues that the schools would siphon money from its children’s education for unnecessarily specialized programs. The schools, to be based in nearby Maplewood and Livingston, would draw students and resources from Millburn and other area districts.

“I’m in favor of a quality education for everyone,” Stewart said. “In suburban areas like Millburn, there’s no evidence whatsoever that the local school district is not doing its job. So what’s the rationale for a charter school?”

Egypt military is spelling out muscular role in government

By David D. Kirkpatrick New York Times News Service

CAIRO — The military council governing Egypt is moving to lay down its own ground rules for a new constitution that would protect and potentially expand its own authority indefinitely, possibly circumscribing the power of future elected officials.

The military announced Tuesday that it planned to adopt a “declaration of basic principles” to govern the drafting of a constitution, and liberals here initially welcomed the move as a concession to their demand for a Bill of Rights-style guarantee of civil liberties that would limit the potential repercussions of an Islamist victory at the polls.

But experts enlisted by the military to write the declaration say that it will spell out the armed forces’ role in the civilian government, potentially shielding the defense budget from public or parliamentary scrutiny and protecting the military’s vast economic interests. Proposals under consideration would give the military a broad mandate to intercede in Egyptian politics to protect national unity or the secular character of the state. According to a report last month in the Egyptian newspaper Al Masry Al Youm, a top general publicly suggested such a role.

The military plans to adopt the document on its own, before any election, referendum or constitution sets up a civilian authority, said Mohamed Nour Farahat, a professor working on the document. That would represent an about-face for a force that, after helping to oust President Hosni Mubarak, consistently pledged to turn over power to elected officials who would draft a constitution. Though the proposed declaration might protect liberals from an Islamist-dominated constitution, it could also limit democracy by shielding the military from full civilian control.

The military is long accustomed to virtual autonomy. Its budget has never been disclosed to Parliament, and its operations extend into commercial businesses like hotels, consumer electronics, bottled water and car manufacturing.

Some are already criticizing the military’s plans as a usurpation of the democratic process.

Ibrahim Dawrish, an Egyptian legal scholar involved in devising a new Turkish constitution to reduce the political role of its armed forces, said the Egyptian military appeared to be emulating its Turkish counterpart.

PHONE HACKING

Scandal sullies famed Scotland Yard

By Anthony Faiola The Washington Post

LONDON — Immortalized in the pages of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, Scotland Yard is a globally renowned symbol of policing, its constables the cherished guardians of Britain’s upright rule of law.

But as the phone-hacking scandal here explodes, the bobbies of Scotland Yard are weathering their worst crisis in years, one that has portrayed some of the force’s highestranking officials as bumbling Keystone Kops and painted others as woefully corrupt beat cops, willing to accept bribes in excess of $160,000 to pass on juicy tidbits to the press.

As it exposes murky ties between Britain’s muckraking tabloid press and police, the scandal is damaging the public’s faith in the Yard — nickname of London’s Metropolitan Police, once famously headquartered on a street named Great Scotland Yard. At stake is the prestige of a 182-year-old force, with an independent inquiry set to probe corruption and mismanagement at all levels of the institution and threatening the jobs of top officials at a time when they are gearing up for a massive operation for the 2012 Olympic Games.

The scandal centers on al-

Andrew Testa / New York Times News Service

Britain’s phone hacking scandal is now engulfing London’s Metropolitan Police — Scotland Yard. Doubts have been raised that the force did little to rein in the tabloid press. legations that Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World tabloid for years used illegal methods for news-gathering, including passing fat envelopes of cash to officers and tapping into the private messages of thousands of British citizens, from crime victims to celebrities to members of the royal family.

After making just two arrests in 2006 and considering wrongdoing at the tabloid an isolated incident, Met officers dropped the case. Despite revelations in 2009 by the Guardian newspaper about far wider misdeeds at News of the World, officers

Obama, Dalai Lama meet despite China’s warning

By Jackie Calmes New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama met privately with the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet, at the White House on Saturday, despite a warning from Beijing that the meeting would risk damaging relations between China and the U.S. Reflecting the diplomatic sensitivity of the visit, the 44minute meeting with the Dalai Lama — Obama’s second as president — was closed to the news media. China considers Tibet its territory and the Dalai Lama a separatist, although he favors self-rule rather than independence.

The Dalai Lama underscored that point in his conversation with Obama, according to a White House summary of the meeting. The White House statement also reflected the delicate balance

Obama sought to strike, saying he expressed “strong support” for direct talks and a resolution between China and Tibet that protects both Tibetans’ basic rights and China’s claim to the territory. Obama also “stressed the importance he attaches to building a U.S.-China cooperative partnership.”

“The president reiterated his strong support for the preservation of the unique religious, cultural and linguistic traditions of Tibet and the Tibetan people throughout the world,” the statement said.

“He underscored the importance of the protection of human rights of Tibetans in China.”

The meeting came at a particularly delicate time as China, the largest creditor to the U.S., has expressed concern about the risk of a default on U.S. bonds if Obama and congressional Republicans cannot break their impasse over raising the nation’s legal debt limit.

reopened the case only under mounting pressure earlier this year. Until then, police investigators insisted to politicians, the press and the public that there was no more to the case.

In the spotlight now is the relationship the force of more than 51,000 officers has with Britain’s muckraking tabloids and whether that influenced their judgment.

On Thursday, for instance, they arrested News of the World’s former executive editor Neil Wallis, only to concede the same day that he had worked for Scotland Yard as a media consultant from October 2009 through Septem-

ber 2010. He was paid $38,000 a year to come in two days a month, despite public allegations at the time that the tabloid had engaged in widespread illegal activity during his tenure.

That came after current and former top Met officers were hauled before a parliamentary committee this week for what amounted to a public humiliation for some, with lawmakers openly laughing at John Yates, its assistant commissioner who was once in line for the Yard’s top job. Calls for his resignation escalated this week after information emerged that he had dined with News Corp. editors while News of the World was still under investigation.

“We’ve heard some extraordinary things from the Met this week,” Deputy Prime Minister Nicholas Clegg said Thursday.

“Not least that a high-ranking officer felt it acceptable to be wined and dined by senior newspaper executives under investigation.

The Met now has a big job on its hands winning back the public confidence that has been lost.”

The scandal is laying bare the seedy world of British tabloid journalism and the pivotal role corrupt police officers have long played in it. Rebekah Brooks, the high-powered News Corp. executive who resigned Friday in the wake of the scandal, had testified in Parliament as early as 2003 that News of the World had paid police officers for information.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Casey Anthony was freed from a Florida jail early today, 12 days after she was acquitted of murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in a verdict that drew furious responses and even threats from people across the U.S. who had followed the case with rapt attention.

Anthony, wearing a pink T-shirt with blue jeans, left the jail at 12:14 a.m. with her attorney, Jose Baez. After three years behind bars, Anthony was given $537.68 in cash from her jail account and escorted outside by two sheriff’s deputies armed with semi-automatic rifles. Neither Anthony nor Baez said anything to reporters and protesters gathered outside.

“It is my hope that Casey Anthony can receive the counseling and treatment she needs to move forward with the rest of her life,” Baez said in a statement released to reporters.

News helicopters briefly tracked the SUV through Orlando’s streets, but she quickly slipped from public view.

W B NATO launches airstrikes on Tripoli TRIPOLI, Libya — Tripoli was rocked by a series of airstrikes

by NATO forces in the early hours of the morning today.

Libyan television reported that the “NATO crusader forces” had hit civilian and military targets in the eastern suburb of Tajoura.

Just after midnight today, a series of dull rumbles and flashes could be seen to the east of Tripoli, illuminating huge plumes of smoke and accompanied by sporadic tracers of antiaircraft fire.

The distant rumbling blasts continued for at least an hour, suggesting some kind of facility with explosive materials had been hit.

Aircraft could be heard soaring through the night sky, which was illuminated by a nearly full moon.

Group that lauded Putin cancels prize BERLIN — A German nonprofit group canceled its annual prize ceremony Saturday after its decision to honor Prime Minister Vladimir Putin of Russia sparked a public outcry.

In a statement, the group, Quadriga, said that the ceremony scheduled for October had been called off and the award canceled “in light of the growing and unbearable pressure and the danger of further escalation.” After a week of harsh criticism, the news that Vaclav Havel intended to return the prize he received in 2009 to protest the award for Putin appeared to have been the final straw for the panel.

Clinton chides Turkey on rights record ISTANBUL — In a series of pointed statements, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Turkey, a close NATO ally, on Saturday, for its mixed record on press and other freedoms.

The United States has long counted on Turkey, a moderate Muslim nation, to serve as a bridge between Muslim and Western nations, and Clinton couched her criticism by suggesting that it was crucial that Turkey continued to modernize at a time when countries throughout the region were in revolt and searching for models for democratic change.

“People in the Middle East and North Africa are seeking to draw lessons from Turkey’s experience,” she said at a news conference with Turkey’s foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu. In an earlier town hall event at which local reporters were excluded, Clinton mentioned the continued detentions of scores of journalists and what she called “restrictions” on freedom of religion, according to The Associated Press.

Chinese priest is excommunicated ROME — A Chinese bishop ordained without papal approval was excommunicated for accepting his new post, the Vatican announced Saturday.

The clergyman, the Rev. Joseph Huang Bingzhang, was ordained as bishop of the Diocese of Shantou on Thursday by China’s state-run Catholic Church. He is the third bishop to be appointed without papal approval in recent months, putting a new strain on already difficult relations between Beijing and the Vatican.

In a statement, the Vatican said that Huang was ordained “illicitly,” and that he had been asked repeatedly not to accept his new position because the district already had a bishop.

Syrian killings stall bid to unite opposition BEIRUT — An effort to unite Syria’s opposition-in-exile with the fledgling protest movement that has erupted on the streets of Syrian cities fizzled Saturday, a day after security forces shot dead 32 anti-government protesters around the country, forcing government opponents to cancel plans to gather in Damascus.

A parallel conference of exiled regime opponents went ahead in Istanbul, but in the absence of the domestic Syrian protest movement, which had been planning to participate via Skype, the meeting failed to achieve its stated goal of coming up with a unified strategy for ousting President Bashar al-Assad.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was meeting with Turkish officials a few miles away, a day after she offered formal U.S. recognition to the Libyan rebel Transitional National Council, also while in Istanbul.

Election cycle emerges as year of the pledge

DEBT TALKS

’Grand bargain’ still in the works

By Alec MacGillis and Lori Montgomery The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Even as President Barack Obama and congressional leaders focus on a fallback plan to lift the nation’s debt ceiling, top Democrats and Republicans have begun to map a new way to craft the same sort of ambitious deficit-cutting plan they abandoned last week.

As part of the deal being discussed to raise the debt ceiling, leaders on Capitol Hill are forming an especially powerful congressional committee that would be charged with drawing up a new “grand bargain,” possibly by the end of the year.

Key elements for a big deal remain in place. Obama has been clear that he wants one and has started making the case to skeptical factions of his own party that getting the nation’s fiscal house in order is in their best interest.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, also remains committed to an ambitious plan, having told his troops that he didn’t become speaker to do small things. And, perhaps most critically, the markets are demanding it. The credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s says Washington must agree to reduce the debt by $4 trillion over 10 years to avert a downgrade.

“We cannot as a country fail to deal with the debt threat,” said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., one of the bipartisan “Gang of Six” senators who tried to reach an agreement in recent months. “Every serious economic analysis tells us we’ve reached the danger zone. And just kicking the can down the road? That can’t be.

We’re better than that. We’ve got to be better than that.”

But hopes for a grand resolution in coming months face the same question that hangs over the current crisis: whether tea-party-aligned conservatives in Congress who forced the debt-ceiling show-

down will provide the necessary votes for an eventual major deal if it includes new taxes.

The Gang of Six — which tried to come up with its own plan — has apparently disbanded over the possibility of new taxes. The big deal pursued by Obama and Boehner faltered amid criticism from congressional Republicans opposed to additional revenue.

House Whip Eric Cantor, RVa., who has emerged as the leader of this contingent, has argued against such a deal. But his views may be shifting along with those of some rank-and-file House Republicans whose imaginations have been captivated by the idea of slicing as much as $5 trillion out of the federal budget over the next decade.

In a caucus meeting last week, some freshmen wanted to know whether they could slice that much out of the budget in the next two years, GOP aides said.

(Answer: no. The entire federal government is expected to spend about $3.6 trillion this year.)

In public at least, conservatives are maintaining that the answer is to “cut, cap and balance” — passing a balanced-budget amendment that would cap federal spending at 18 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product, down from its current 24 percent.

The House is expected to vote Tuesday on such an amendment, but it has scant odds of getting the needed supermajority in the Senate. Democrats say an 18 percent cap in a country with an aging population and rising health-care costs would lead to ruinous cuts.

But conservatives said Saturday they are holding out for the amendment and aren’t ready to accept a stopgap measure being put together by Senate leaders Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Harry Reid, D-Nev., that would raise the debt ceiling before the nation hits its borrowing limit Aug. 2.

“I didn’t get elected to punt this problem down the road another six months,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah. “We are the body, we are the commission to make these tough decisions. ... Guys like me are not coming along. We’re not

So far, ‘Carmageddon’ is running smoothly

By Dan Weikel and Kate Mather Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — A bridge demolition project that forced the weekend closure of Interstate 405 at the Sepulveda Pass was proceeding briskly Saturday, as authorities continued warning area motorists to stay home or risk a major traffic meltdown.

By early Saturday morning it was clear that many had heeded the call of politicians and transportation officials to steer clear of the massive highway project, as traffic throughout the city was light.

For weeks, an extensive public relations campaign warned residents of impending gridlock as a result of the closure, and urged Angelenos to ei-

ther stay home or opt for public transportation.

“It’s going smooth because people are not getting into their cars,” L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa told reporters at a news conference by the Mulholland Drive bridge. “Virtually every artery, every major street has less than normal traffic. Thanks to the media, they’re the reason this is going smoothly. ... If you get into your car and act as if it’s business as usual, you’ll be stuck in the mother of all gridlock.”

I-405 was shut down at 12 a.m.

Saturday between the 101 and 10 freeways, as workers demolished the southern half of the bridge, which spans the freeway. That 10-mile stretch of the 405 carries roughly 500,000 vehicles on a normal July weekend.

In Tajikistan, rise of Islam worries government

By Michael Schwirtz New York Times News Service

DUSHANBE, Tajikistan — Islam is blossoming in Tajikistan. Beards are in style.

Headscarves, too. Bazaars are doing a booming trade in prayer rugs, religious audio recordings and gaudy clocks featuring Muslim holy sites.

After decades of enforced secularism, the people of this impoverished former Soviet republic have been flocking to their traditional religion with all the zeal of born-again movements anywhere in the world.

The authoritarian government here could not be more worried. Spooked by the specter of Islamic radicalism and the challenges posed by increasingly influential religious leaders, the Tajik authorities have been working fervently to curb religious expression.

Bearded men have been detained at random, and women

barred from religious services.

This year, the government demanded that students studying religion at universities in places like Egypt, Syria and Iran return home. The police have shuttered private mosques and Islamic websites, and government censors now monitor Friday sermons, stepping in when muftis stray from the government line.

Last month, lawmakers took what many here said was a drastic step further: They passed a law that would, among other things, bar children younger than 18 from attending religious services at mosques.

It is called the law “on parental responsibility for educating and raising children,” and the measure, according to officials, is meant to prevent children from skipping school to attend prayer services, and it would hold parents responsible if they do.

Government critics liken it to a Soviet-style attempt at reversing Islam’s spread.

“Let’s be honest — neither party in this town is blameless,” President Barack Obama said in his weekly Internet and radio address. going along just to get along.”

Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., was equally blunt. “The quote-unquote McConnell-Reid plan is no plan. That’s the abdication of the responsibilities of our Congress,” he said. “It’s nothing but the typical D.C. two-step, and I’m not going to be part of that.”

Under the stopgap plan, Congress would allow Obama to raise the debt ceiling in three increments totaling $2.5 trillion over the next year. Each time, Congress would vote on a resolution of disapproval, allowing Republicans to blame the increases on Obama.

To get backing from House Republicans, McConnell and Reid are adding $1.5 trillion in spending cuts. And they are drawing up the committee, with six lawmakers from each party, which would report by the end of the year.

The committee would resemble the fiscal commission chaired last year by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, minus presidential appointees. But its path would be easier: The panel will require only a simple majority to report a plan to Congress, it would be protected from Senate filibuster and it would not be subject to amendment, similar to the system used for closing military bases.

The same lawmakers appointed to the fiscal commission may not be appointed to the new committee. Aides said Reid, for one, is likely to make different choices. But Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said there is little doubt where the committee will start.

“We all keep coming back to the same basic parameters. The Bowles-Simpson plan really laid out how you reach $4 trillion.

And there aren’t a lot of things they didn’t consider,” Durbin said. “There are only so many moving parts here.”

This is the year presidential candidates are being asked to take the pledge.

They are asked to state their opposition to abortion rights. They are pressed to pledge support for a constitutional amendment to balance the budget.

They have been asked to oppose pornography, women in combat and Shariah law — all part of a “marriage vow” pledge.

Candidate pledges, an incidental part of past presidential elections, have exploded this year as advocacy groups seek to hold a future Republican president accountable.

Driven by the same antiWashington fury that delivered scores of new Republicans to the House last year, the pledges aim to impose litmus tests on candidates and discourage them from altering positions later under political pressure.

“At a time when voters have grown skeptical about politicians and candidates who run on a certain platform only to backtrack once elected, signing a pledge is a good way to strengthen our political promises,” Rick Santorum, a Republican presidential candidate and former Pennsylvania senator, wrote in an opinion column last week.

Santorum has been one of the most agreeable pledge signers. He has added his name even to compacts that rivals have abstained from because of controversial passages.

“The GOP is reading the mood of a key part of their constituency as telling them, ‘Hold the line, we don’t want you to compromise,’” said Donna Hoffman, a political scientist at the University of Northern Iowa. “A particular sector of the electorate believes com-

promise is invalid at this point; it’s selling out your principles.”

Candidate pledges seem largely a Republican phenomenon this time, though liberal groups have promoted them in the past, including a Fight Washington Corruption pledge that MoveOn. org said about 200 congressional incumbents and candidates signed in 2010.

Critics say the impact of pledges can be pernicious, and they cite the profound impact of the 25year history of the anti-tax pledge from Americans for Tax Reform, Norquist’s group. While supporters say it has enforced party discipline on a central tenet of Republicans’ belief, it has also backed them into an absolutist position.

Indeed, had congressional Republicans been willing to make small concessions on raising some taxes, they might have already gotten many of the spending cuts they wanted from the White House by now.

One candidate, Jon Hunstman Jr., a former governor of Utah, refused to sign anything.

“I don’t sign pledges — other than the Pledge of Allegiance and a pledge to my wife,” Huntsman has taken to saying on the campaign trail.

In New Zealand, no relief from shaking

By Jonathan Hutchison New York Times News Service

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — The once-bustling business district here resembles a wasteland. Along the closed, empty streets lie piles of bricks and steel, and you can see the office furniture still sitting inside partly collapsed buildings.

Handmade signs hang on the fencing that marks off a large stretch of the city center.

“Welcome to Limboland,” says one. Another asks, “When is the recovery starting?”

The magnitude-7.1 earthquake that hit Christchurch 10 months ago did not directly cause a single death. But there have been more than 7,300 aftershocks, including an especially bad one in February that killed 181 people. The repeated shaking has knocked the city, New Zealand’s second-largest, to its knees and kept it there, repeatedly frustrating efforts to get the rebuilding started.

The series of quakes has become the costliest disaster in New Zealand’s history, and it is probably not over yet. A magnitude-6.3 aftershock struck in June, and scientists say another one of magnitude 6 or greater is not unlikely in the coming months. A report in May by the International Monetary Fund put the cost at $12.6 billion — a heavier burden relative to New Zealand’s size than the 1995 quake in Kobe, Japan, or the 2010 quake in Chile. And those figures were compiled before the destructive June aftershock.

Nicole Taikato was in the wine aisle of a supermarket when that one hit and the bottles started flying.

“I was all bruised up my legs, my feet, the whole lot,” she recalled. “Everything dropping on you — you cannot run, because the ground is going. You try to pick through broken glass and try and get out, get out.”

Taikato’s hairdressing business in Kaiapoi, north of Christchurch, has suffered badly since the original quake in September, she said, but it was still impossible to rebuild. “There’s too much movement going on,” she said.

Christchurch, with its Gothic-

Continued from A1 Suburbs like Millburn, renowned for educational excellence, have become hotbeds in the nation’s charter school battles, raising fundamental questions about the goals of a movement that began 20 years ago in Minnesota.

Charter schools, which are publicly financed but independently operated, have mostly been promoted as a way to give poor children an alternative to underperforming urban schools — to provide options akin to what those who can afford them have in the suburbs or in private schools.

Now, educators and entrepreneurs are trying to bring the same principles of choice to places where schools generally succeed, typically by creating programs, called “boutique charters” by detractors like Stewart, with intensive instruction in a particular area.

In Montgomery County, Md., north of Washington, the school board is moving toward its first charter, a Montessori elementary school, after initially rejecting it and two others with global and environmental themes because, as one official said, “we have a very high bar in terms of performance.”

Imagine Schools, a large charter school operator, has held meetings in Loudoun County, Va., west of Washington, to gauge parental interest in charters marketed partly as an alternative to overcrowded schools.

In Illinois, where 103 of the current 116 charter schools are in Chicago, an Evanston school board committee is considering opening the district’s first charter school.

Double standard More than half of Americans live in suburbs, and about 1 in 5 of the 4,951 existing charter schools were located there in 2010, federal statistics show.

Advocates say many proposed suburban charters have struggled because of a double standard that suggests charters are fine for poor urban areas but are not needed in well-off neighborhoods.

“I think it has to do with comfort level and assumptions based on real estate and not reality,” said Jeanne Allen, president of

To save jobs, union OKs big concessions

The aftershocks from the earthquake that hit Christchurch, New Zealand, earlier this year have caused deaths and hindered rebuilding efforts. revival churches, public gardens and flat-bottomed punt boats leisurely carrying tourists down the Avon River, had a reputation as New Zealand’s quaintest and most English city. Now, many of the historic buildings have crumbled, and the 19th-century cathedral, considered the city’s heart, is all but destroyed.

The officials in charge of reconstruction say they have not had time to even begin thinking about what to do with the damaged landmarks, or the school gymnasiums and community centers. Housing is the first priority.

Scientists and engineers mapping the city’s seismic risks in detail have identified several previously unknown faults. They are staking out some large “red zones” that they say will be too dangerous to live and build on for the foreseeable future — more than 1,000 acres so far.

Residents of the red zones have been given 21 months to move before the city starts cutting off water and electric service. The

national government has offered to buy their houses and land, and many are expected to take up the offer well before the deadline.

Some 5,000 houses are affected so far, and the red zones are likely to grow.

Elsewhere, rebuilding work is moving slowly because of the aftershocks and the scale of the damage. A recent report by the Royal Society of New Zealand said it was surprising that more buildings had not collapsed, considering the strength of the shocks. But it added that building codes would have to be strengthened, which could complicate the work. The special authority set up by the national government to cut through red tape and get reconstruction moving is developing a master plan for rebuilding the city that is due by Jan. 19.

Stephen Marlowe’s house is uninhabitable, and the land it sits on has yet to be examined and classified by the government, but he is not waiting for a verdict.

Marlowe, 40, has already sold his business, a coffee shop, and

is working on getting rid of the rest of his possessions so he can move to Auckland, on the North Island, where his wife and children have gone.

“I decorated every room — put brand-new carpets in, brandnew curtains in — it took me probably five months to renovate the house,” he recalled ruefully as he stood in one of the rooms where deep cracks now crisscross the walls. “I painted every brick outside. “But it’s all in the past, it’s done. I’m over it.”

Government statisticians estimate that Christchurch will have lost 2.5 percent of its pre-quake population of 320,000 by next April, as displaced residents like Marlowe head elsewhere.

For those like Taikato, the hairdresser, who would rather stay in Christchurch, the aftershocks are an unpleasant but unavoidable reality. Scientists say they should slow to about one a month a year from now. “You wonder how much is enough,” Taikato said. “How much before we just get up and go?”

Charters

NEW YORK

the Center for Education Reform in Washington, which studies and supports charter schools.

“The houses are nice, people have money, and therefore the schools must be good.”

Ashley Del Sole, a founding member of one of the rejected charters in Montgomery County, said that regardless of how well a district performed, children benefited from choice because not everyone learned the same way.

She added that competitive pressure would invigorate schools that had grown complacent.

“There’s sort of this notion that ‘If it’s not broken, why fix it?’ ” Del Sole said. “But there are people who are not being served.”

Many boards reject With high test scores and graduation rates to flash around, suburban school officials have had an easier time than their urban counterparts arguing that charters are an unnecessary drain on their budgets. In some states, including Virginia, where only local school boards authorize charters, suburban boards have all but kept them out.

“It’s like you’re Burger King, and you have to go to McDonald’s to get a license — in most cases you won’t get a friendly reception,” said Roy Gamse, executive vice president of Imagine Schools.

District school boards in Georgia have rejected so many charters that lawmakers created a commission that approved 16 schools over local objections.

But after several boards sued, the law was overturned in May, leaving in question the fate of some of those schools.

In New Jersey, where the State Education Department approves charters, school boards and parents have been fighting a proposed school in another suburb, Montclair, north of Millburn, and another Mandarin-immersion school in the Princeton area that was approved last year but has yet to open. Statewide, 15 of 73 charter schools are in the suburbs.

The latest battle, over Hua Mei and Hanyu International — which would start in 2012 with 200 kindergarten through second-grade students drawn from Millburn, Maplewood, Livingston, South Orange, West Orange and Union — has divided neighbors and has spurred calls for legislation to require voter approval to open charters.

New York state’s secondlargest union of public workers, facing hundreds of layoffs that had been scheduled to take effect within days, agreed on Saturday to significant wage and benefit concessions in order to save the jobs of its members.

The five-year agreement between Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the Public Employees Federation largely mirrors the deal struck last month with the state’s largest public employee union, the Civil Service Employees Association, which also agreed to big concessions in exchange for giving its members immunity from most layoffs.

The federation, which represents about 55,000 state workers, agreed to forgo across-theboard raises for three years, accept furlough days for the first time and increase the amount members contribute toward their health insurance coverage.

The concessions in the deal, which must be ratified by the union’s membership, would save the state $75 million this fiscal year and nearly $400 million over the course of the contract, the governor’s office said.

“This agreement reflects the financial reality of the times,” Cuomo said in a statement. “I am pleased that we could avoid these layoffs, protect the work force and the taxpayer.”

The union’s president, Kenneth Brynien, made clear that impending layoffs were a driving force in reaching the deal.

“This was a difficult agreement to reach, but with our

members’ jobs in peril and the state’s fiscal hardship, we’ve stepped up and made the necessary sacrifices,” Brynien said in a statement. “The agreement will preserve our members’ jobs and careers while bringing longterm fiscal stability to the state.”

The pact came less than a month after the Civil Service Employees Association, which generally represents workers who are paid less than the more white-collar membership of the Public Employees Federation, reached a pact with the governor.

At the time, the federation and Cuomo’s representatives were still at odds. The negotiations with both unions lacked the sort of public enmity seen recently in other states like Wisconsin and New Jersey, where the governors took a more confrontational approach.

Cuomo’s budget assumed $450 million in savings from reduced labor costs, and the governor had said that as many as 9,800 layoffs could be necessary if none of the state’s public employee unions accepted wage freezes and other concessions.

As negotiations with the Public Employees Federation dragged on, the Cuomo administration notified 700 union members in recent weeks that their positions were scheduled to be eliminated if no agreement were reached.

The first wave of layoffs was scheduled to take effect Friday, providing something of a hard deadline for Cuomo and union representatives to reach an agreement.

Alarming new stimulant sold legally in many states

By Abby Goodnough and Katie Zezima New York Times News Service

Dr. Jeffrey Narmi could not believe what he was seeing this spring in the emergency room at Schuylkill Medical Center in Pottsville, Pa.: people arriving so agitated, violent and psychotic that a small army of medical workers was needed to hold them down.

They had taken new stimulant drugs that people are calling “bath salts,” and sometimes even large doses of sedatives failed to quiet them.

“There were some who were admitted overnight for treatment and subsequently admitted to the psych floor upstairs,” Narmi said. “These people were completely disconnected from reality and in a very bad place.”

Similar reports are emerging from hospitals around the country, as doctors scramble to figure out the best treatment for people high on bath salts. The drugs started turning up regularly in the United States last year and have proliferated in recent months, alarming doctors, who say they have unusually dangerous and long-lasting effects.

Though they come in powder and crystal form like traditional bath salts — hence their name — they differ in one crucial way: they are used as recreational drugs. People typically snort, inject or smoke them.

Poison control centers around the country received 3,470 calls about bath salts from January through June, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, up from 303 in all of 2010.

“Some of these folks aren’t right for a long time,” said Karen Simone, director of the Northern New England Poison Center. “If you gave me a list of drugs that I wouldn’t want to touch, this would be at the top.”

At least 28 states have banned bath salts, which are typically sold for $25 to $50 per 50-milligram packet at convenience stores and

Freshmen Continued from A1 Regardless, it has upended what Obama said on Friday had been a “difficult but routine process” in past years.

The sheer size of the debt and its rapid growth in recent years have emboldened fiscal conservatives in the House, prompting some of them to pledge not to vote for a higher debt ceiling even if a compromise can be reached before Aug. 2, when the Treasury Department says it will hit the $14.3 trillion debt cap and run out of borrowing authority.

Since Obama took office in January 2009, near the end of a long recession, the total federal debt — including debt held by the public and by government trust funds — has increased 35 percent. While debt exploded, the economy was stagnant, so debt as a share of the gross domestic product has also increased.

The current battle over deficits and debt could become the norm if Republicans hold onto their seats or make gains in Congress.

The federal debt represents the accumulated total of past borrowing. So even if the government slashes the annual budget deficit, it generally cannot reduce the debt unless it runs a surplus.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said many freshman Republicans — “to their undying credit” — were not concerned with reelection. “The people who got elected in 2010 are going to go down fighting,” said Graham, who served eight years in the House before winning a Senate seat in 2002. “They are not going to be persuaded by traditional politics. They could care less about 2012. They want to do what they can on their watch.”

With the Aug. 2 deadline looming, Obama says a default would have calamitous consequences, jeopardizing the timely payment of Social Security benefits and driving up interest rates for the government and private borrowers alike.

Some Republicans say they do not worry much about being punished by their constituents for playing hardball with their votes on the debt limit and thus pushing the nation to the brink of default. And besides, they doubt that the consequences of a default would be as dire as Obama and many economists say.

When Republicans were in the White House, Democrats often voted against their requests for more borrowing authority, and it fell to Republicans to shepherd the necessary legislation through

Around the country, hospitals have reported patients taking new stimulants that people are calling “bath salts,” as doctors scramble to figure out the best treatment for people high on the stimulant. head shops under names like Aura, Ivory Wave, Loco-Motion and Vanilla Sky. Most of the bans are in the South and the Midwest, where the drugs have grown in popularity. But states like Maine, New Jersey and New York have also outlawed them after seeing that their use was spreading.

Illegal in Oregon In April, Oregon’s Board of Pharmacy voted to classify “bath salts” as Schedule I drugs, a move that gives police authority to cite or arrest anyone who sells or possesses them.

The cases are jarring and similar to those involving PCP in the 1970s. Some of the recent incidents include a man in Indiana who climbed a roadside flagpole and jumped into traffic, a man in Pennsylvania who broke into a monastery and stabbed a priest, and a woman in West Virginia who scratched herself “to pieces” over several days because she thought there was something under her skin.

“She looked like she had been dragged through a briar bush for several miles,” said Dr. Owen Lander, an emergency room doctor at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va. Bath salts contain man-made

Congress.

“I hope we do not have an extended debate and a lot of breastbeating about the issue of increasing the national debt,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said on the Senate floor in 2006. Grassley said the vote on the debt limit increase — the one that Obama opposed — “ought to be very pro forma.” Obama, for his part, now says he regrets the stance he took as a senator.

Democrats often complained about debt-limit increases sought

by President George W. Bush. As a senator in 2006, Joe Biden lamented “the tsunami of debt created by the policies” of the Bush administration, including big tax cuts. Now, as vice president, Biden is trying to persuade Republicans to support a much bigger increase in the debt limit.

In a scrap over the debt limit in 2004, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 House Democrat, said, “The immoral, intellectually bankrupt fiscal policies that we have been pursuing for the last four years resulted in this request for a gargantuan increase in the debt.”

The increase then was $800 billion. The White House is now seeking an increase of at least $2.4 trillion. That would lift the limit to at least $16.7 trillion, about twice the level set in 2004.

Some of the Republican resistance reflects fatigue with deficits and debt. Congress has raised the debt limit 10 times in the past decade. Three of those measures, passed in a sevenmonth stretch in 2008-9, lifted the debt ceiling by $2.3 trillion to accommodate spending intended to bail out banks, aid struggling homeowners and jolt the economy out of recession.

Sen. Mike Lee, a freshman Republican from Utah, said he would “oppose any and every effort to raise the debt limit” without a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget.

Another freshman Republican, Rep. Todd Rokita of Indiana, said: “The debt ceiling negotiations are a great opportunity to enact monumental reform within the federal government. In order to raise the debt ceiling, the price for that concession must be the passage of permanent and structural reforms like the balanced budget amendment — period. There is no additional negotiation.”

Many Democrats are dismayed to see Republicans setting the terms of debate.

“Republicans have turned the necessity of raising the debt ceiling to pay our bills into political leverage,” said Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

chemicals like mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone, or MDPV, also known as substituted cathinones. Both drugs are related to khat, an organic stimulant found in Arab and East African countries that is illegal in the United States.

They are similar to so-called synthetic marijuana, which has also caused a surge in medical emergencies and been banned in a number of states. In March, the Drug Enforcement Administration used emergency powers to temporarily ban five chemicals used in synthetic marijuana, which is sold in the same types of shops as bath salts.

Shortly afterward, Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., asked the agency to enact a similar ban on the chemicals in bath salts. It has not done so, although Gary Boggs, a special agent at DEA headquarters in Washington, said the agency had started looking into whether to make MDPV and mephedrone controlled Schedule I drugs like heroin and ecstasy.

Casey said he was frustrated by the lack of a temporary ban.

“There has to be some authority that is not being exercised,” he said. “I’m not fully convinced they can’t take action in a way that’s commensurate with the action taken at the state level.”

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., introduced legislation in February to classify bath salts as controlled Schedule I substances, but it remains in committee. Meanwhile, the drugs remain widely available on the Internet, and experts say the state bans can be thwarted by chemists who need change only one molecule in salts to make them legal again.

And while some states with bans have seen fewer episodes involving bath salts, others where they remain fully legal, like Arizona, are starting to see a surge of cases.

Dr. Frank LoVecchio, an emergency room doctor at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, said he had to administer general anesthesia in recent weeks to bath salt users so agitated that they did not respond to large doses of sedatives.

Dr. Justin Strittmatter, an emergency room doctor at the Gulf Coast Medical Center in Panama City, Fla., said he had treated one man whose temperature had shot up to 107.5 degrees after snorting bath salts. “You could fry an egg on his forehead,” Strittmatter said.

Other doctors described dangerously elevated blood pressure and heart rates and people so agitated that their muscles started to break down, releasing chemicals that led to kidney failure.

Dr. Mark Ryan, the director of the Louisiana Poison Center, said some doctors had turned to powerful antipsychotics to calm users after sedatives failed. “If you take the worst attributes of meth, coke, PCP, LSD and ecstasy and put them together,” he said, “that’s what we’re seeing sometimes.”

Ryan added, “Some people who used it back in November or December, their family members say they’re still experiencing noticeable paranoid tendencies that they did not have prior.”

Before hitting this country, bath salts swept Britain, which banned them in April 2010. Experts say much of the supply is coming from China and India,

where chemical manufacturers have less government oversight.

They are labeled “not for human consumption,” which helps them skirt the federal Analog Act, under which any substance “substantially similar” to a banned drug is deemed illegal if it is intended for consumption.

Last month, the drug agency made its first arrests involving bath salts under the Analog Act through a special task force in New York. Undercover agents bought bath salts from stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn, where clerks discussed how to ingest them and boasted that they would not show up on a drug test.

“We were sending out a message that if you’re going to sell these bath salts, it’s a violation and we will be looking at you,” said John Gilbride, special agent in charge of the New York field division of the DEA. The authorities in Alton, Ill., are looking at the Analog Act as they prepare to file criminal charges in the death of a woman who overdosed on bath salts bought at a liquor store in April.

“We think we can prove that these folks were selling it across the counter for the purposes of humans getting high,” said Chief David Hayes of the Alton police.

Hayes and other law enforcement officials said they had been shocked by how quickly bath salts turned into a major problem.

“I have never seen a drug that took off as fast as this one,” Hayes said. Others said some people on the drugs could not be subdued with pepper spray or even Tasers.

Chief Joseph Murton of the Pottsville police said the number of bath salt cases had dropped since the city banned the drugs last month. But before the ban, he said, the episodes were overwhelming police and hospitals.

Great gray owls find a surprising home in Sierra Nevada hills

By Tom Knudson McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Flip through a field guide to Western birds and you’ll discover the great gray owl occupies the narrowest of ecological niches in California: dense conifer forests next to moist mountain meadows.

But lately, the elusive owl has been spotted swooping through much different terrain: the sunbaked Sierra Nevada foothills where — surprisingly enough — it is thriving on land owned by the state’s largest timber company, Sierra Pacific Industries.

The bird’s discovery south of Placerville has startled wildlife biologists and bird-watchers who have long considered the exceedingly rare, brownish-gray owl to be a stalwart of higher elevations, a winged icon of the wilderness.

“It’s pretty exciting they are being found this low,” said Graham Chisholm, executive director of Audubon California. “It shows the resilience of these birds.”

It has also sparked speculation about when the birds arrived, where else they may be hiding and why they are homesteading scruffy oak and pine foothill forests, including areas recently logged by Sierra Pacific.

“This may be a case where management on private land is providing more suitable habitat than public land,” said Chris Stermer, a wildlife biologist for the California Department of Fish and Game. “We just don’t have enough information to say for sure.”

This much is certain: With a wingspan wider than a car door, piercing yellow eyes and a face as round as a dinner plate, the great gray owl is not just the largest owl in North America but perhaps its most majestic, too.

In flight, it glides though the forest, rarely flapping its wings, so silent and smooth it’s been called the great gray ghost. “It’s such an unbelievably charismatic bird,” said Chisholm, who recently saw two great gray owls — an adult and juvenile — on a visit to the Sierra Pacific site. “It’s aweinspiring to be around them.”

Perched on a branch, the owls are typically still as statues and next to invisible. “I have a picture of a bird in a cedar and unless you know it’s there, you cannot see it,” said Kevin Roberts, a wildlife biologist for Sierra Pacific. “It’s a full-grown adult sitting there looking at you.”

Unlike spotted owls, which respond readily to a biologist’s call, great gray owls are wary of people and not easily fooled.

“They are so hard to find,” said Stermer. “There have been a lot of frustrating times. Every once in a while, I think if I could just go out and count deer, that would be a good change.”

They appear to be clever, too, even manipulative. On occasion, Stermer has watched, astonished, as a great gray owl has flown through the forest ahead of him, deliberately leading him away from its nest.

“It’s happened enough times that it’s apparent they are truly leading you away,” Stermer said.

“They know you are following them.”

Only 200 to 300 great gray owls are estimated to be in California, so few that they are on the state endangered species list.

For years, Stermer has struggled

Bryan Patrick / Sacramento Bee

Until recently, the great gray owl has been found in California almost exclusively around Yosemite, in mountain meadows. to find more, searching in places where the field guides and scientific studies say the owls live: dense stands of conifer near lush, green mountain meadows.

That changed in 2006 when a Sierra Pacific forester named Lance Purdy was marking trees for a timber sale outside Placerville. He spotted a large owl with a round face in a gnarled black oak snag and called Roberts, the SPI biologist.

“He said: ‘I found a great gray owl,’ ” Roberts recalled. “My response was: ‘No, you didn’t.’

“He said: ‘Yes, I did.’

“I said: ‘OK, I’ll go check.’ ” Not only was the bird a great gray owl, it also was tending a nest with its mate, and two young birds. Soon, Roberts was calling the owls by a new name: Purdy’s birdies.

“They are not supposed to be here,” Roberts said. “This is not classic habitat.”

Since then, two more pairs of great gray owls have been found on the company’s sprawling 17,000-acre property near Mount Aukum. In all, they have produced at least 28 young. Because only a fifth of the land has been surveyed, Roberts believes more are likely to be found — perhaps a lot more.

A handful of other owls have been spotted elsewhere in the foothills, one within hooting distance of a winery near Fair Play and a breeding pair near Pliocene Ridge in Yuba County.

“This is a wonderful discovery,” wrote John Muir Laws, author of the “Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada,” in an e-mail.

“It reminds me of a saying of the great birder Rich Stallcup: ‘When the bird and the book disagree, believe the bird.’

“We falsely assume we already know the important things about nature and can look it up,” Laws added. “However, as this owl proves, there is more we do not know than we can conceive and nature reserves the option to change her mind.”

One of the biggest surprises is the owls’ proximity to logging operations. They seem unperturbed by the whine of chain saws or the sunlit openings created by selective harvests and small clearcuts. They have sometimes even nested close to such areas.

“Timber management and wildlife management are not mutually exclusive,” Roberts said. “You can do both.”

Cities add up costs of mobile eateries

Urban food trends, as delicious as they are, can have a dark side.

Backyard chickens offer fresh eggs and give the citybound a way to touch the country. But with them can come all manner of tricky diseases and noisy roosters.

An edible schoolyard is a terrific idea, until budget cuts and waning volunteer interest turn the plot into a tangle of weeds, forcing someone to explain to second-graders why their beloved tomato plants died.

Now comes the modern food truck, where innovative cooks on a budget drive their kitchens around searching for what appears to be an endless supply of diners with Twitter accounts willing to line up for Korean tacos and salted caramel cupcakes.

What could be wrong with that? For some, plenty. From Portland to Los Angeles and New York to Atlanta, cities are wrestling with the trend, trying to balance the cultural good that comes with a restaurant on wheels against all the bad.

Entrepreneurship, convenience and job creation (not to mention extra tax money) are indeed pluses. But many restaurateurs are sick of seeing competition literally drive up outside their windows.

“It’s ignorant of people in the community to think that buying from food trucks instead of from local restaurants doesn’t hurt the community,” said Melissa Murphy, who runs two Sweet Melissa Patisseries in Brooklyn. “There’s just not enough to go around right now.”

The trucks present still other problems. Streets clog. Parking disappears. The crowds and the diesel fumes that swirl around all those idling buses of gastronomy annoy the neighbors.

People wait for their meals at a food truck during an event dubbed the Staten Island Food Truck Festival in New York earlier this month. Gatherings like this one, which are happening around the country, allow vendors the opportunity to work together for mutual profits and sell food in a protected area away from city street laws; cities from the Big Apple to L.A. to Portland are trying, through city ordinance, to balance the good with the bad that comes with restaurants on wheels.

But civic leaders can’t ignore the trend. Like drive-thrus, which were the subject of many a city council meeting when national fast-food chains embraced them in the 1970s, food trucks are changing the way America eats. The food is often innovative, relatively inexpensive and convenient. For those willing to stand in line and eat from a paper plate, there is usually a warm personal exchange when the meal is passed from chef to diner.

“The growth of the mobile restaurant unit is a long-term trend,” said Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of the National Restaurant Association. “If you think about growth in the restaurant industry over the past decade, it’s basically a question of points of access.”

It is the rare restaurant chain that isn’t looking into the marketing potential of a truck. Taco Bell and Jack in the Box have

them. Even the Hilton hotel chain is in on the game, promoting its DoubleTree brand by sending a truck filled with free cookies around the country this summer.

So what’s a city leader to do?

Legislate.

In New York, truck owners now face a ticket or a tow if they sell food from metered spaces.

The Seattle City Council on Monday is expected to decide whether to unleash food trucks onto its streets with tight regulations on where they can park.

In Chicago, which appears on the verge of allowing something more than prepackaged food to be sold from mobile units, competition is the biggest issue. Although Mayor Rahm Emanuel supported the trucks during his recent campaign, the alderman who heads the committee that will consider the proposal said it won’t pass without restrictions that would keep food trucks at least 200 feet

away from restaurants.

In Raleigh, N.C., the planning commission approved new rules last week that would create similar restrictions, as well as prevent trucks from using amplified sound or dominating certain parking spaces.

Food vendors, surprised to find themselves civic parasites, are fighting back, pointing out that food trucks are a valuable urban amenity.

With the military’s ban on openly gay troops expected to end this fall, advocates for gay and lesbian service members are already looking ahead to the next battle: winning equal benefits for same-sex married couples.

Under current law, particularly the Defense of Marriage Act, the Pentagon is prohibited from giving federally financed benefits to same-sex married couples. In the military, those benefits include base housing and allowances for off-base housing, health insurance, certain death benefits, legal counseling and access to base commissaries and other stores.

No one knows how many same-sex married couples are currently in the military. But with the final repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” in the coming months, many advocates expect the number of gay and lesbian married couples in the military to rise significantly.

New stable of donors drove record fundraising for Obama

Bonuses

By Nicholas Confessore New York Times News Service

President Barack Obama recruited roughly 150 new elite donors, raising as much as a half a million dollars each, to help propel him to a large and early lead over his Republican opponents in the race for campaign cash, according to campaign filings released last week.

The new fundraisers, including Silicon Valley executives, people active in gay rights causes and onetime supporters of Hillary Clinton, dominate the list of top donors that Obama’s campaign released Friday, according to an analysis by The New York Times. Known as bundlers, they are typically deep-pocketed supporters who tap friends and business associates to raise money for candidates.

Their presence, along with the names of more than 100 veterans of Obama’s formidable 2008 fundraising operation, suggests that the president and his aides have moved quickly to replenish the ranks of top fundraisers as he prepares for an onslaught of advertising next year mounted by independent groups in support of his Republican opponent.

More than half a million people have donated to the president’s campaign or his joint fund with the Democratic National Committee since Obama formally entered the race in April, and the two accounts gained a combined record-breaking $86 million for the campaign by the end of June.

But Obama’s bundlers — 271 in all — accounted for at least 40 percent of the total, according to the campaign’s estimates.

Obama’s elite donor corps live in 26 states and the District of Columbia, though a vast majority live in the traditional centers of political fundraising: Texas, Florida, California and, above all, New York.

Thirty-one of his bundlers collected in excess of $500,000 each in contributions, according to the campaign. They included the Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg; two hedge fund managers, Orin Kramer and Blair Effron; and Andres Lopez, a wealthy Puerto Rico lawyer and law school classmate of Obama.

Others who have bundled large checks for Obama include Andy Spahn, a close friend and consultant to Steven Spielberg; Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue; and Jon Corzine, the former New Jersey governor.

WISCONSIN

Recall elections likely to test both parties

By Michael A. Fletcher The Washington Post

Wisconsin voters head to the polls next week in a series of recall elections that could alter the balance of power in state government and test the appeal of the policies and messages of both political parties in a crucial presidential battleground and beyond.

The elections were triggered by outrage over Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s move to curb collective-bargaining rights for public employees, but analysts say they have morphed into high-stakes contests between the competing views of government held by Republicans and Democrats.

Many of the policies pushed

by Walker — including cutting Medicaid, requiring voters to show identification at the polls, slashing state education aid and refusing to raise any taxes, even in the face of large budget gaps — have been championed

by Republicans in states including Ohio, New Jersey, Florida and Minnesota, as well as in Washington.

Those issues are likely to resonate in the 2012 presidential race, and the recall elections in Wisconsin will be an early test of whether the hard line taken by Republicans in the states and in Congress is seen as extreme or consistent with voter sentiment.

With the stakes so high, both parties and their allies have been pouring money and other resources into the recall contests.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, July 17, 2011 A7

U.S. Rep. Greg Walden held a news conference Saturday in his Bend office concerning Chelsea Wells, an Oregon Army National Guard soldier who was among those denied a bonus promised when she enlisted. Wells’ enlistment contract was enlarged beside the Republican congressman who represents Eastern and Central Oregon; he said what she’s been put through by the National Guard is “almost unimaginable.”

Shortfall Continued from A1 “We’re talking about $14.6 billion in what we expect will come in from taxes and fees, and it’s all based on anticipated revenue,” said Rep. Dennis Richardson, R-Central Point, who co-chairs the Legislature’s budget-writing Ways and Means Committee. “That’s why we have the reserve. The forecast is a hope, and it can get changed by economic circumstances far beyond anything we can control.”

Future economic forecasts could ensure the state is on firm financial footing — or send the budget into chaos.

The next forecast is slated for the end of August.

Regardless of which direction it goes, the budget will likely have to be tweaked and rebalanced, with the final adoption not technically due until the end of June 2013.

Closing the gap by limiting growth The huge shortfall lawmakers faced at the beginning of the session was based largely on the anticipated cost of providing existing state services without cutting into expected increases in employee pensions, health care and salaries.

The state solved much of the budget gap by simply reducing state agencies’ budgets to the tune of $3.2 billion, essentially reducing their rate of growth.

Ken Rocco, legislative fiscal officer, said his office cannot yet break down budget savings with a great deal of specificity. But he noted that a “current service level” general fund and lottery budget for the 2011-13 biennium would have been $17.9 billion. The budget the Legislature approved for state agencies was, instead, $14.6 billion.

For many state departments, this will mean very modest growth in state spending.

During the 2009-11 session, for instance, the Legislature agreed to spend $5.4 billion on the state school fund, which supports public education. The “current service level” budget for the 2011-13 biennium would have been $6.7 billion. The Legislature instead approved $5.7 billion.

The Legislature’s 2009-11 budget for the Department of Corrections was $1.2 billion, and a “current service level” budget for the 2011-13 biennium would have been $1.5 billion. Instead, lawmakers agreed to $1.3 billion.

A further $300 million in anticipated savings, meanwhile, are the result of actions the Legislature took over the session, combined with expected increases in state tax collections.

What if the gamble doesn’t pay off?

Lawmakers made multimillion-dollar assumptions that they could curb costs in three main areas: the state’s Medicaid program, the long-term care program and the Department of Corrections.

The biggest bet is curbing Medicaid costs run up by the Oregon Health Plan. The Legislature’s health transformation effort will create coordinated care organizations, which are teams of people who will work to keep patients with chronic health problems out of expensive emergency rooms.

Lawmakers are hoping the plan will save the state $239 million over the biennium.

But everyone agrees the assumed savings are a gamble.

“It’s do or die,” said Rep. Pe-

ter Buckley, D-Ashland, a Ways and Means co-chair. “There’s no other choice. You can say it’s kicking the can down the road, or you can say it’s confronting the crises.

It’s an Oregon solution: We’re putting the expertise and passion of the people in the health care community to a test. It’s a very highstakes test. But if we don’t do it now, I don’t know when we’ll do it.

Our backs are against the wall. It has to be done.”

And if they can’t find those savings, Buckley said, the state will have to cut services.

“If the downturn continues, we have no place to go except to close courts one day a week, shorten the school year, increase tuition (at) community colleges and universities — steps no one wants to take,” he said. “When we use the phrase ‘our backs are against the wall,’ they are. We’ve used every tool we have, and we’re using the skills and passion of the people in health care as the path out of the situation we’ve found ourselves in.”

The 2011-13 budget also assumes $51 million in cuts to the long-term care program in the Department of Human Services and $29 million in unspecified cuts to the Department of Corrections.

Rocco noted that both agencies have little control over the number of people who need services.

“If the prisoners show up, you have to house them somewhere,” Rocco said.

know how long an investigation will take, as the nature of the problem is still unknown.

Cody Standiford, an Iraq War veteran and Walden’s aide on military affairs, said it appears at this point that all of the soldiers who have been denied the second half of their bonuses enlisted in 2007 and 2008. At the time, the military was struggling to fill specialized positions and sharply increased the size of its enlistment bonuses, Standiford said. An intelligence analyst like Wells enlisting today would receive a bonus of $5,000.

Walden said he’s holding out hope the investigation reveals the denied bonuses are the result of paperwork mistakes or bureaucratic error. “I would hate to think it was an organized bait-andswitch plan,” he said. “I don’t want to believe that.”

“If the downturn continues, we have no place to go except to close courts one day a week, shorten the school year, increase tuition ... steps no one wants to take. When we use the phrase ‘our backs are against the wall,’ they are.”

agency budgets were cut by 7 percent across the board.

If the revenue shows “significant improvement,” a phrase lawmakers will have to agree on, $310 million of that money will go back into state agencies’ budgets the second year of the 2011-13 biennium.

There is also the unknown of what will happen in the collective bargaining process between the state and the unions that represent state workers. The budget assumes that the benefits for state employees will increase by 6 percent. The negotiations are ongoing.

“The best-case scenario,” Rocco said, “is health care transformation works, revenue goes up and the personnel costs are stabilized.”

— Rep. Peter Buckley, Democratic Ways and Means co-chair Wheeler said the state does need to “review the rapidly increasing costs of the state’s correction system.” The money, he said, is eating up general fund dollars that could be put toward education. Gov. John Kitzhaber recently created a commission to examine comprehensive sentencing reform.

Changes to budgeting Overall, Rocco, who has been working in the fiscal office since 1990, said this budget is more sustainable than some because of the reduction in one-time funds. Last session, $1.5 billion was put into the budget in one-time federal stimulus money. This session, it’s closer to $75 million.

The way lawmakers budgeted this session also marks a change from the past. The phrase “current service level” has been thrown out the window. In previous sessions, lawmakers looked at the past biennium’s budget and factored in inflation and growth and used

that number to figure out how much money state agencies would need to maintain existing service levels.

This session, Richardson said, the state looked at how much money was expected — the revenue — and then looked at expenditures. He compared it to a family’s budget: First, you figure out how much money you have to spend, then you budget.

And the way the supplemental ending balance was created also is new. In order to get the reserves,

Economist’s portrait of Deschutes too gloomy, leaders say

TOUR DES CHUTES

Bend man sought in neighbor’s stabbing Bend Police are searching for a man who allegedly stabbed a neighbor during a dispute Saturday afternoon in northeast Bend.

According to Officer Brian Beakman, Patrick Michael Olstad, 42, stabbed his neighbor outside the neighbor’s residence near the intersection of Northeast Sixth Street and Northeast Innes Lane around 4:11 p.m.

The victim was transported to St. Charles Bend with non-life-threatening injuries, while Olstad fled the scene on foot, Beakman said.

Beakman said police had not determined what caused the dispute between the two men and were not yet ready to release the name of the victim.

A group trying to revitalize the local economy is asking Deschutes County to help pay off work completed earlier this year.

Meanwhile, county officials have criticized comments made by an economist working for the group, the Deschutes Economic Alliance.

Some county leaders chafe at the negative picture of the local economy that California-based economist Bill Watkins presented recently on a Portland radio station.

Watkins said Friday his job is to convey the truth about the economy. “I don’t pull punches,” he said.

Watkins is one of the consultants hired by the Deschutes Economic Alliance to produce a 1,000-day road map to improve the local economy. He has also presented several Central Oregon economic forecasts in recent years, for which the county has chipped in public money.

In a recent county grant application, members of the Deschutes Economic Alliance wrote that they need money to pay one of the consultants for work he already finished.

“The $5,000 requested grant funds will be used to completely pay (Praxis President and CEO Delore Zimmerman) for his January, 2011 1,000 Day Roadmap,” the group wrote. “The (Deschutes Economic Alliance) has already reimbursed Mr. Zimmerman $15,000 and is pursuing a fundraising initiative to assure its solvency for the next five years. To date, funds for the (Deschutes Economic Alliance) have come from a variety of private businesses and community members.”

Surveying the scene outside High Lakes Elementary School on Saturday afternoon, Gary Bonacker grinned and soaked it up: the hordes of spandex-clad cyclists queued up for burritos, the jumbles of sleek carbon-fiber road bikes, and the periodic clatter of cowbells, welcoming another rider into the finish area of the Tour des Chutes.

Eight years after he was diagnosed with brain can-

cer and seven years after he founded Central Oregon’s biggest anti-cancer fundraiser on two wheels, things just keep getting better for Bonacker.

“It’s hard to think you could up yourself, but we continue to do just that,” he said.

This year’s Tour des Chutes set a new record with more than 1,000 cyclists covering everything from a short seven-mile cruise around Northwest Bend to a 100-miler up to the top of McKenzie Pass and back.

Riders ranged from 3 to 92 years old, on everything from classic road cycles to creaky mountain bikes, recumbent bikes and tandem bikes. One intrepid rider even managed to crank out 25 miles atop a unicycle.

A Jefferson County mother who killed her children’s father in a domestic dispute has had her parental rights restored by the Oregon Court of Appeals.

Court documents do not identify the woman, presumably in order to protect the identities of the children.

The woman was 19 years old in July 2008 when she stabbed the man following a dispute about putting their then-14-month-old daughter to sleep. In February 2009, she gave birth to their second daughter while being held at the Jefferson County Jail.

In the opinion issued by the court Wednesday, the relationship between mother and father is described as “volatile from the beginning,” with multiple instances of domestic violence scattered across the roughly two years they were together.

Washington Week WASHINGTON — With much of the attention in the nation’s capital focused on negotiations over raising the debt ceiling, some lawmakers took the opportunity to revisit some older ideas.

For example, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, introduced the Better Use of Light Bulb (or BULB) Act, geared at reversing a piece of 2007 energy law that called for higher efficiency standards in light bulbs by 2012. Some had wrongfully characterized the earlier legislation as a ban on incandescent light bulbs — it simply called for more efficient bulbs of any form and allowed for the continuing sale of the old bulbs — and used it as an example of government overreach.

Barton’s BULB bill failed to get the two-thirds vote necessary to pass, but it did get a 233-193 majority, with five Democrats joining the majority and 10 Republicans voting against.

“But this high-risk investing belongs in hedge funds, not in our commercial banks designed to make loans to our families and businesses.”

Lawyers ask court to reinstate them in capital case The Associated Press SALEM — The ousted attorneys of an Oregon death row inmate have asked the state Supreme Court to overrule a judge’s order dismissing them as the inmate’s representation.

The Salem Statesman Journal reported the attorneys, Keith Goody and Andy Simrin, for twice-convicted murderer Gary Haugen have asked the court to require the presiding judge of Marion County Circuit Court to vacate the order she issued removing them as Haugen’s co-counsels.

The presiding judge ruled Thursday that Haugen’s relationship with his attorneys is “irretrievably broken.” Haugen has feuded with his attorneys since they began to file appeals on his behalf stalling or preventing his execution.

Haugen says he wants to be executed. He said his death would shine a spotlight on a criminal justice system he believes is unfair.

The presiding judge handed down the order Thursday afternoon, and Haugen’s attorneys filed a petition asking the high court to reinstate them hours later. In the hearing, the attorneys assured the presiding judge they wouldn’t issue any filings related to the case before substitute lawyers were hired.

But later that day, Simrin said he spoke too quickly in court.

“Upon further consideration after today’s hearing, Mr. Goody and I have determined that it is appropriate and necessary to file a petition for a writ of mandamus challenging today’s ruling,” Simrin wrote in a letter to the presiding judge. “I apologize for speaking too hastily in court and concluding that the petition would not be necessary.”

The attorneys had success the last time they appealed to the state Supreme Court.

In May, a neuropsychologist deemed Haugen delusional and incompetent to be executed. The Supreme Court cited that evaluation as a key factor in calling off the Aug. 16 execution, pending the outcome of further evaluations.

The legal back-and-forth means the state Supreme Court will now decide whether to rule on Simrin and Goody’s request before the proceedings regarding Haugen’s execution can continue.

Haugen told the Statesman Journal in an interview Friday that his attorneys lied to the presiding judge when they said they wouldn’t issue more filings in the case.

“You have attorneys that have agendas that have so overpowered their ethical obligations and oaths that they’re willing to sit there and just blatantly lie in the face of a presiding judge,” Haugen told the newspaper Friday.

“They want just enough time to still (be) able to put in filings that they want to get filed before they are actively removed from the case.”

Haugen said he’s not hopeful for a resolution any time soon.

“If they won’t respect the judge,” he said, “you think they’re going to respect my rights?”

Savior of the misunderstood

Runoff pushes waste Firefighter’s family into Willamette River sues city over suicide

Lane County man helps shunned shelter dogs put best paw forward

PORTLAND — A rainstorm has caused Portland’s sewers to overflow, dumping raw waste into the river that cuts through the city.

The city on Saturday recommended the public avoid the Willamette River until Monday. The city’s sewage combines with its stormwater runoff into a system that overflows an average of 50 times per year.

The sewer system is in the last year of a 20-year upgrade.

The upgrade will lessen — but not prevent — such overflows.

The city has asked the public to avoid recreational activities like jet skiing in which water could be swallowed.

By Matt Cooper The (Eugene) Register-Guard

ALVADORE — In the chaotic confines of the Lane County animal shelter, Knight was one poorly adjusted pooch.

Set off by all the barking and commotion of the dogs around him, the muscular black pit bull mix acted in a way that deterred potential adopters: He drooled constantly, chewed to pieces a thick plastic panel attached to the kennel for his protection and repeatedly threw himself against the kennel gate in a bid to escape.

But on a recent trip to the country for some special training in a serene setting, Knight acted like a different dog for trainer John Archer.

The dog “shook hands,” rolled to his back for a tummy scratch and gave himself over immediately to Archer’s control.

“This is a nice dog,” Archer said. “This is a very trainable dog.”

Archer and the county shelter have teamed up to try to find homes for a misunderstood group of shelter dogs — those that behave in alarming and off-putting ways in the less-than-idyllic setting of the county pound, but might otherwise make perfectly loving pets.

The shelter in west Eugene finds homes for about 94 percent of the dogs in its care, either through adoption or transfer to other agencies for adoption, Lane County Animal Services Manager Rick Hammel said.

Some dogs brought to the shelter are truly dangerous and must be destroyed, but some are difficult to adopt out simply because they don’t “present well” amid the crowded conditions and cacophony of barking, Hammel said.

Although as many as half the dogs in the shelter’s care at any given time are pit bulls and pit bull mixes, Hammel said the dogs in question aren’t primarily pit bulls.

But they’re big and athletic, need lots of daily exercise — and they don’t do well in an outdated, overrun shelter that was built to hold dogs, not to display them, Hammel said.

Shelter ‘like a jail’ “The shelter was not designed to be an adoption center. It’s small, the dogs are all facing each other — it sets all our dogs up to react to each other,” Hammel said. “It is more like a jail.”

Under a 3-month-old program called “Promised Land for Pooches,” Archer takes these dogs into his quiet country kennel, trains them and sells them to adoptive families for about $100 per dog.

Archer has taken three dogs from the county. He placed two of them in a matter of weeks — a border collie mix and a pit bull

Car crashes, burns at Multnomah Falls PORTLAND — A crash left 900 feet of tire marks and a burning car in the parking lot of Multnomah Falls.

The Oregon State Police say a 1991 Subaru driven by 30-year-old Rene Zavala was eastbound on Interstate Highway 84 when it pulled into the falls parking lot, crashed into a road sign and struck a parked semi-trailer.

Zavala and a passenger who was not identified by police escaped the vehicle before it caught fire.

Both men work at a ranch in Mosier. Their injuries are considered serious but not life-threatening.

Zavala faces drunken driving, reckless driving and assault charges.

Lane County Animal Services manager Rick Hammel, left, scratches the tummy of Knight, a pit bull, as trainer John Archer looks on late last month in Alvadore. Archer has a proven talent for improving the conduct of dogs who come off as unappealing amid the stress of a shelter environment.

“John is saving dogs’ lives. He’s giving them the attention we can’t, in a setting that we can’t provide, and doing the finding and recruiting and adopting of them that we can’t do.”

— Rick Hammel, Lane County Animal Services program manager mix — and is working with another pit bull mix, Hammel said.

“John is saving dogs’ lives,” Hammel said. “He’s giving them the attention we can’t, in a setting that we can’t provide, and doing the finding and recruiting and adopting of them that we can’t do.”

Archer was a leading member of a group of animal advocates that successfully pushed the shelter five years ago to change its policies in an effort to lower euthanasia rates.

“If you expect people to do the job, put in the time, make the change, you should be as well,” he said.

A 60-year-old with mostly gray in his handlebar moustache, Archer said he’s always felt a special connection to animals.

Just minutes after meeting Knight for the first time, Archer swept the 70-pound dog up into his arms and lifted him high off the ground, with nary a concern from the pit bull.

“I’m showing him I’m the boss,” Archer said. “He told me it was OK.” Knight was found behind the west Eugene Walmart about a month ago, tied to a bike, exposed to the sun and without food or water. The dog had been with a homeless family and probably didn’t have a primary

owner, Hammel said.

The dog has calmed down considerably during its time at the shelter, Hammel said.

He believes the shelter’s conditions can intensify the problem behavior of some dogs but that for others, the shelter itself is the only problem.

Archer worked with Knight in a fenced-in area of his 1-acre kennel, Claymore Waggin’ Inn. A man with a calm but powerful demeanor, Archer doesn’t see himself as a dog trainer — he’s a “dog listener,” he said, using careful observation to read a dog’s signals without resorting to forceful tactics.

Archer repeatedly stood over Knight with his legs against the dog’s sides — Knight didn’t fight, showing instead what Archer called “a tendency to serenity.”

Then he attached a 30-foot rope to Knight, letting him roam the area while remaining under Archer’s control.

“We want to teach him where we want him to go and where we don’t want him to go,” Archer said.

shelter environment, freeing up resources and space (at the shelter) for other animals in need.”

But the program’s future hinges on community support.

Archer is relying on donations for the $300 per month per dog that he needs to cover costs for training, housing, dog food and advertising. A website for donations has collected $2,000 to date.

The public always seems to come through with donations for shelter dogs that need dental work or surgery, Hammel said.

He’s hoping there will be a similar response for the new program.

“There’s definitely that group of people that understands that … our kennel is very stressful,” Hammel said — “and maybe more so to these athletic dogs.”

A Difference You Can Hear.

Recruiting families Training skills aside, Hammel said Archer is equally valuable as a recruiter of adoptive families and a discriminating judge of whether a match has been found between owner and dog.

Animal advocate Tamara Barnes, a frequent and vocal critic of the county shelter in recent years, said Hammel and Archer are “willing to think and work outside the box and do what is best for individual dogs.”

“I’ve personally known John Archer for years, I think he is an amazing man, dedicated to helping animals however he can,” Barnes said.

“John has a 100 percent success rate rehabilitating and re-homing these dogs. (The program) is an awesome way to remove these harder-to-adopt dogs from the

SALEM — The family of a firefighter who committed suicide after being asked to resign has sued the city of Salem and alleged the city should have been more responsive to his mental health problems.

The Salem Statesman Journal reports the representatives of former firefighter Craig Warren’s estate are seeking $4.15 million in damages.

The city has not yet responded to the suit. Warren committed suicide on July 31, 2009, the effective date of his resignation.

The lawsuit alleges that Warren changed psychiatrists in early 2009, and the switch led to a mix-up in his medication doses. According to the suit, Warren was investigated for making inappropriate comments to other firefighters during a time when he was improperly medicated.

Tour Continued from B1 The event also set a new record for money raised — preliminary estimates put the fundraising take at more than $90,000.

About two-thirds of the proceeds will go to the Cancer Survivorship Program at St. Charles Bend, and onethird will go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

It was a visit with Armstrong in 2004 that prompted Bonacker to start the Tour des Chutes. Barely a year after his cancer diagnosis, Bonacker went to Austin, Texas, to ride in Armstrong’s Ride for the Roses, a fundraiser ride he’d launched after his own battle with testicular cancer.

Armstrong, who at the time was sitting on six of his eventual seven Tour de France titles, told Bonacker how critical it was to have a project or a goal, something to keep his mind off cancer and cancer treatment.

The owner of Sunnyside Sports and one of the founders of the Cascade Cycling Classic, Bonacker knew that meant he’d have to come home and start a bike ride of his own.

Cameron Coker, a veteran of past Tour des Chutes rides, said he’s on “injured reserve” this year — with a sore knee, he opted to drive one of the sag wagons, picking up riders who’ve run out of steam.

Diagnosed with colon cancer three years ago — he prefers to describe his condition as “surviving” rather than “survivor” — Coker said he fully agreed with Bonacker on the need to find a purpose in life after receiving the initial diagnosis.

Even so, distractions only help so much, Coker said.

While newly diagnosed cancer patients may understand their disease intellectually, they don’t understand what it is to live with cancer.

“Even when you’re ‘healthy,’ or whatever you want to call it, it never leaves you,” Coker said. “We’ve got to raise awareness and make sure people know they’re not alone, make sure people know there are options — emotional support options, medical options. It’s a day-to-day thing, every day.”

Washington Continued from B1 “That was the key point made in the Volcker Rule provisions of the Merkley-Levin banking legislation, and it is now up to regulators to implement these provisions and protect our economy from the high stakes gambles inside commercial banks that created so much havoc over the last four years,” the senators wrote.

On Thursday, Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Mark Udall, D-Colo., asked the director of national intelligence to clarify the intelligence community’s position on using GPS information to track people without their knowledge or consent. In a joint letter, Wyden and Udall, both of whom serve on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, wrote: “Congress is now considering multiple legislative proposals that would attempt to establish clear rules for this sort of surveillance and will need to determine at some point whether it is necessary to update the laws that apply to intelligence investigations as well as the laws that apply to law enforcement investigations.”

NEAR LAVA LAKE, IN 1911 …

Dog loyal after master’s death 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending July 16, 1911 DEAD 7 MONTHS: TRAPPER IS GUARDED BY HIS DOG Guarded by a starving dog whose faithfulness is probably without parallel, the remains of John Parker, an old trapper, were found in the Cascade mountains last Thursday. He had died last fall, as a note in his diary indicated, but the strangest thing about it all was the fact that, for seven months, the dog of the dead man had watched over his master’s remains.

Parker, who was 54 years old, went out from Sisters last fall on a trapping expedition. It was not considered unusual that he did not return for several months, but last week a searching party set out to look for him, believing he could not have lived in the wilds so long. In the party, among others, were Bill Vandevert and Bill Brock.

Speaking of the gruesome find, Mr. Vandevert said, “In an old camp near Lava Lake, about 52 miles west of Bend, we found the bones of the old trapper. It was easy to identify him by his hunting license found in his clothing and a diary which he kept. He must have died about November 15, as there was an entry under that date as follows: ‘I’m down and out.’ He died with his clothes on, it seemed, lying on his bunk. There was no evidence of foul play.

“The dog had been tied near the camp, it seemed, and when no one came to feed him had broken loose. He had eaten up all the pieces of leather about the camp and had then devoured his master, even eating some of the man’s bones. How he got enough food to live on after that I cannot see, and when we found him he was nothing but a hulk of skin and bones. It is the most remarkable case of a dog’s faithfulness to his master I ever heard of.”

The searching party buried the bones near where they were found. Judge H. C. Ellis was notified by Mr. Vandevert but action by the coroner was not deemed necessary.

Parker is said to have come to this part of the country from Auburn, Wash., and is believed to have left a sister there. Whether he had any other relatives is not known.

PICNIC NEXT WEEK An enjoyable affair for next week in the social line will be the annual picnic of the Whatsoevers, which will be held Wednesday on the Wiest lawn.

Not only the members of the club, but the public in general has been invited to be present and have a day of rest and recreation in a lovely spot.

Various games will be played and those having hammocks, tennis racket and croquet sets and the like are asked to bring them along. Refreshments will be provided for all and nothing omitted to make it a pleasant outing occasion.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending July 16, 1936 OLYMPIC TEAM IS ON WAY TO BERLIN Aboard S.S. Manhattan, July 15: The happiest — and strongest — American Olympic team in history sailed for Berlin aboard this floating palace today at 12:16 p.m. EDT.

Cocaine nabbed in Oregon will net man a life sentence The Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A federal jury in Anchorage has convicted a 37-year-old Washington man of attempted possession of more than five kilograms of cocaine with intent to distribute.

Otagus Demond Coverson of Renton, Wash., was convicted Wednesday.

U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler says Coverson’s past record and the nature of the offense means he faces a minimum sentence of life in prison.

OR I ZONS

Coverson was recorded arranging to import nine kilograms of cocaine into Alaska.

The drugs were intercepted

by Oregon State Police on July 9, 2009, while being smuggled through Oregon from California.

A Drug Enforcement Administration task force linked the cocaine supply chain to Coverson.

He was arrested in Alaska after opening a postal service parcel matching the description provided to him by his cocaine source in Seattle.

He will be sentenced Oct. 28.

Y E S T E R D AY letes will meet the world’s best, beginning August 1. A crowd of several thousand on the pier cheered them on their way.

The 334 men and women athletes aboard broke out small American flags and waved them. An ear-splitting din went up from the whistles and sirens from other craft in the Hudson.

Every athlete who qualified for the team was aboard. Last minute fund raising has enabled the American Olympic committee to take a full squad —although the committee reported a $50,000 deficit a few minutes before sailing and many athletes had to pawn rings, mortgage homes and borrow from friends to help the fund along.

Avery Brundage, president of the committee, said the deficit was partly in the budget of the administration committee which dipped into its own funds to send a full team.

KIWANIANS RIDE TO VICTORY HERE Age and experience were pitted against youth and speed last night, as the Kiwanis clashed with the 20-30 club in the final contest of a two game donkey baseball series at the Elks field.

The older heads managed their steeds a little better and hit the ball a little harder to eke out a 4-2 decision over their younger opponents.

Neither team scored in the first, but both tallied in the second when Craig Coyner of Kiwanis singled and stole home, and Chet Meyers of the 20-30 club bagged a four cushion clout.

C.E. Akers added another digit to the Kiwanis side when he crashed out a triple, stole second, stole third, stole second again and then galloped home on a long double in the third inning.

The 20-30 scoring was concluded

by Ernie Bembry’s four base exhibition of great “mulemanship” in the same frame.

Walter Rydell of the Kiwanis was the fielding star of the game.

Leaning out from his mount at every angle he made some great plays despite the fact that he was thrown heavily in the contest and stunned.

For the Kiwanis, Ned Shevlin, Craig Coyner, and Carl Neal also played good ball. Meyers and John Wetle starred for 20-30 club.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending July 16, 1961 OLD CAMP ABBOT CLUB IDEAL FOR PALADIN SHOW BY ILA S. GRANT Somewhere in the Old West, a drama was unfolding. A mailorder bride-elect from Greece, disappointed by the lack of fun at the home of her betrothed, was living it up with the neighbors.

There was dancing and drinking and gaiety a-plenty.

It seemed unusual, at first glance, that the “Have Gun, Will Travel” company should travel from Hollywood, all the way to Oregon, to shoot scenes in a building. But there was a reason.

It wasn’t just that in that same building there had been dancing and drinking and gaiety before.

Starting way back in World War II. It was because the building is different from any other in the world.

The building was the officers

club at Camp Abbot. Later, when the camp was abandoned and most of the buildings dismantled, the officers club was acquired by the Bend Elks Lodge as a country party place.

The building is now part of the holdings of the Hudspeth Land and Livestock Co. Until this week, it had been many a moon since ladies in long skirts curtsied to their partners, and the gents swung the dollies “like swingin’ on a gate.”

When Richard Boone and his location hunters saw the old officers club, that was it. They had to have it. And arrangements were made with the owners.

Architecturally, the building is an over-size log structure. Once it was elegant. Now it’s just rustic. But interesting. A live tree, still growing shoots up through the roof and is the support of a spiral staircase. There two huge stone fireplaces. A balcony canopies the big main hall.

The TV company from Hollywood and the local extras, working on a tight schedule, finished the sequence and had a short but well-earned rest before changing location today.

Stars of this particular sequence are Chana Eden (pronounced “Hannah”), Charles Bronson and George Kennedy.

Chana is a dark-eyed minx from Israel, who plays the Greek mail-order bride. Bronson, seen in many TV shows, including his own “Man With a Camera,” is the stodgy prospective bridegroom, who decides that all work and no play drives the bride away.

Kennedy, a big hulk of a man who just finished a picture with Kirk Douglas, “The Last Hero,” is the bachelor who tries to steal the bride. He doesn’t get away with it, but it takes a gun fight and some stern words — and a few bible quotations — from Paladin.

It’s a good story. I’ll be looking forward to the new series in the fall.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending July 16, 1986 SLOB CAMPERS A DIRTY MINORITY They carve obscenities in picnic tables and riddle road signs with bullets to prove their marksmanship.

Their dogs run free and their radios blare loud and long into the night. They drive their motorcycles and three-wheelers down quiet walking paths or rip out barrier posts to make room to park their motor homes.

They chop on trees to pass the time and leave their garbage behind when they drive away after a weekend in your national forest.

They are among the minority of Americans on a search-anddestroy mission in our wilderness. They are slob campers.

Fortunately for those who maintain our parks and campgrounds — and for the rest of us who pay for their damage — there are few such slobs.

But there enough slobs to cost the U.S. Forest Service an estimate $2.5 million each year in replacement of signs shot up by campers and hunters.

Do you have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)?

Bend Memorial Clinic is currently seeking men and women at least 18 years of age or older who have moderate to severe RA to participate in a clinical research study. If you are currently being treated with methotrexate and have never been treated with a biologic drug you may be eligible to participate.

As a qualified participant you will receive all of your study-related care and study medication at no cost.

Other eligibility criteria will apply. To find out more about this clinical research study please contact Bend Memorial Clinic at 541-322-3656 or email apratt@bmctotalcare.com.

Terry Virgin, a Deschutes National Forest recreation specialist who has spent 23 years with the Forest Service, said the destruction of signs is one of the most serious problems in our nearest national forest.

Central Oregon’s caves also seem to attract a large number of vandals and those who leave their garbage behind.

Some vandals recently entered one local cave and broke several large stalagmites. Every few years teams of volunteers go through popular Lava River Cave to pick up bags of garbage left by visitors.

“I guess most people figure it’s dark and nobody will ever see their garbage over in the corner,” says Virgin. “Litter is a never ending problem in our caves.”

Thousands of campers each year spend time in the Deschutes National Forest and other Central Oregon camping areas. Virgin emphasizes that only a small minority of these campers are to blame for the vandalism and litter.

“The majority of our campers are the cream of the crop,” he says. “They respect and appreciate the national forest.

“But,” Virgin adds, “there’s a very noticeable minority out there that doesn’t share those feelings.”

Those people are the slob campers.

Trial ordered for Portlander accused of sex assault in Denver airport The Associated Press DENVER — A Denver judge has ordered a man accused of sexually assaulting a woman at Denver International Airport to stand trial.

Twenty-six-year-old Noel Bertrand of Portland is charged with sexual assault and kidnapping.

Bertrand’s defense attorney said Thursday the sex was consensual.

Authorities say Bertrand promised during the attack to teach the woman about pleasure and pain and to make her his sex slave, according to the Denver Post.

Bertrand was accused of assaulting a 22-year-old woman just after midnight April 12 after she missed a flight.

Authorities say they struck up a conversation at an airport restaurant before he attacked her at a nearby gate.

They say airline employees saw the assault through a window and intervened.

Bertrand faces four years to life in prison if convicted.

Continued from B1 According to the woman, the man struck her about 10 times over the course of their relationship.

In September 2007, she obtained a restraining order after he threatened her with a baseball bat, broke through a locked door with the bat, and hit her in one of her eyes with his fist.

The woman maintained contact with the man while the restraining order was in place, and on at least one occasion engaged in a physical dispute. She dismissed the restraining order in January 2008 so that she could visit the man in jail after he turned himself in on an outstanding warrant.

On the night he was killed, the man and the woman argued. He insisted that she breast-feed their daughter to help her go to sleep.

She refused.

The man pushed the woman down, and she told him he “wouldn’t be acting so bad if I had a knife in my hand.” He encouraged her to get a knife, and at one point he was holding the knife as his uncle tried to separate the two. The man handed the knife to the woman, and she swung it over the uncle’s shoulder, stabbing him in the chest.

BILLINGS, Mont. — Hunters will be able to shoot as many as 220 gray wolves in Montana this fall under rules adopted by state wildlife commissioners.

Thursday’s action is expected to reduce the predator’s Montana population by up to 25 percent, dropping from at least 566 animals at the end of 2010 to 425 wolves after the hunt.

Wolves were taken off the endangered species list in an unprecedented move by Congress this spring in Montana, Idaho and parts of Utah, Washington and Oregon.

Some hunters and livestock groups wanted a higher quota to reduce attacks on livestock and big game. Wildlife advocates argued the number should be lower so the population can keep expanding.

A hunt is also planned in Idaho, where much of the

those projects.

For Watkins, the commissioners’ concerns are not new. The economist said his statements about other areas have provoked similar responses.

“I think my job is to tell the truth as I see it,” he argued, “and if people can clearly evaluate the situation, they’re better able to deal with it. I just don’t see how I’d be doing the community any service if I sugar-coated it.”

In January, Watkins said he had not yet earned a profit on his Oregon forecast services. He is working to expand his forecast to other areas of the state, including Portland and Eugene, according to his county grant application.

The county commission could decide whether to award additional money to the Deschutes Economic Alliance as soon as the week of July 25.

Examples of positive developments in the area include incentives to entice businesses to the area and a recently completed study of the need to ready large industrial lots for development, Baney said.

“I think you can say we have high unemployment, but you can also marry that with ‘the numbers are getting better,’ ” Baney said.

“We have a lot of foreclosures, but our inventory is starting to decrease and we’re seeing some building.”

County Commissioner Alan Unger said Watkins’ comments add nothing new to the discussion about the region’s economy, and the economist has hammered on the same issues in past forecasts.

“We aren’t going to move forward by repeating the challenges that sort of sound doom-andgloomy,” Unger said. “He’s got 1,000 days,” referring to the road map commissioned by the Deschutes Economic Alliance. “I’m sure some of those days have gone by, and there’s something more significant to say.”

Unger and Baney raised their concerns about Watkins’ comments during a recent meeting and discussed them subsequently in interviews.

Commissioner Tony DeBone said Friday that he saw nothing wrong with Watkins’ comments.

“Those are facts, and I don’t think I see anything wrong there,” DeBone said.

Debone said he has set aside $2,000 in discretionary grant funds that he plans to give the Deschutes Economic Alliance.

“I’m an optimist,” DeBone said.

“The future is bright. I don’t know how far off the future is, that’s the problem.”

DeBone said he is looking forward to a meeting Wednesday with a new local group that hopes to coordinate local economic development efforts, and said he’s ready to take the lead on one of

The woman was taken into custody, and the infant girl went home with the woman’s sister. In February 2010, the woman was sentenced to 60 months in prison for criminally negligent homicide. She is serving her time at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility.

The sister would care for the girl, and the daughter born to the woman while she was at the Jefferson County Jail, for the next 13 months.

After 13 months, the Oregon Department of Human Services elected to move the children to live with their parental grandmother in Washington, and a Jefferson County trial court terminated the mother’s parental rights on the grounds that alcohol abuse, domestic violence and her continued incarceration made her an unfit mother.

In the opinion overruling the DHS decision issued Wednesday, the Court of Appeals contends that despite the woman’s past domestic violence and use of drugs and alcohol, DHS has not adequately demonstrated that she is an unfit parent.

Psychological analysis performed in prison suggests no personality disorders or tendency toward substance addiction or dependency, the court stated, and the woman’s incarceration alone is unlikely to be sufficiently harmful to the children to warrant the termination of the mother’s parental rights.

The Oregon Department of Justice, which argued the case on behalf of DHS, has not yet decided if it will appeal the ruling.

Continued from B1 Lawnae Hunter, a co-founder of the Deschutes Economic Alliance, could not be reached for comment Friday.

Since 2008, Watkins and the alliance have requested a total of $41,000 from the county and received just over $5,000, according to information provided by the county. Most of that money was requested by the alliance, which has received $2,000 so far from the county.

The county awarded $2,000 to Watkins and the North Dakota-based consulting firm Praxis Strategy Group last summer to produce the 1,000day road map. The city of Bend also contributed $1,000 for the road map.

At the end of June, the Portland news radio station 101FM KXL aired a segment on Central Oregon’s economy, in which Watkins was interviewed.

“They’re in bad shape, with an unemployment rate ranging from just a little below 15 percent to over 17 percent, depending on the community in Central Oregon,” Watkins said.

“Home prices have just been decimated, still are very weak.”

Later in the radio segment, Watkins said, “I like to say that they diversified from building materials by buying an option on California real estate, which did real well for awhile, but then of course it went bust.”

Deschutes County has paid Watkins approximately $3,000 for economic forecasts, and the county has also given grants to the Deschutes Economic Alliance, for which Watkins is a subcontractor.

County Commissioner Tammy Baney said that Watkins’ comments went against the Deschutes Economic Alliance’s goal to change the region’s image from “poverty with a view” to “possibilities with a view.”

“I would have expected something factual yet positive toward our area,” Baney said.

“Quite possibly that is because he doesn’t live in our area and

Zamora, mayor of Colton, Calif.

Los Angeles Times David Zamora, the mayor of Colton, Calif., who was elected less than a year ago after working for the city for nearly three decades, died Thursday afternoon when he had a heart attack and crashed into a pole while driving from his home to City Hall. He was 56.

Zamora became mayor in November after serving on the board of the Colton Joint Unified School District for 13 years.

New York Times News Service Jerry Ragovoy, who wrote or collaborated on some of the most soulful ballads of the 1960s, including the Rolling Stones hit “Time Is on My Side” and the Janis Joplin signatures “Piece of My Heart,” “Cry Baby” and “Try (Just a Little Bit Harder),” died on Wednesday in Manhattan. He was 80.

The cause was complications of a stroke, his wife, Beverly Matson Ragovoy, said.

Ragovoy started out as a music buyer for Tregoobs, a Philadelphia appliance store with a small record department.

He and the store manager, Herb Slotkin, created the Grand label in 1953 to record a local doo-wop group, the Castelles, whose first release, “My Girl Awaits Me,” sold 100,000 copies.

After being hired by Chancellor Records, Ragovoy wrote arrangements for Frankie Avalon and was a writer on “About This Thing Called Love” for Fabian. But setting his sights on a career as a Broadway songwriter, he moved to New York in 1962.

His plans went on the shelf when he began writing and producing pop hits.

Since Ed never met a stranger, he formed many cherished friendships during his time on the road. One of these friends was Maxine McGathey, who cared for him during his final days. After touring the country, Ed decided that the high desert area of Oregon was the best place to “park it and play golf.” He bought a home there in what he loved to call his “Blue Collar Country Club,” better known as Crooked River Ranch. He made many wonderful friends in Oregon and they played an important role in his happy life over the last 20 years.

Man who robbed Beaverton bank gets 12 years The Associated Press VANCOUVER, Wash. — A prolific Vancouver bank robber has been sentenced to prison for the third time.

The Columbian reported that U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mosman in Portland sentenced 59-year-old Robert Law-

rence Kuch to 12 years in federal prison, one of the highest sentences allowed.

Authorities say that Kuch robbed a Chase Bank inside a Fred Meyer in September 2009 in Beaverton by handing a note saying he had explosives. He left the bank with more than $8,000.

Police later found Kuch’s sister’s pickup in the parking lot and found text messages for his sister telling her that federal agents were chasing him.

He pleaded guilty to the robbery charge in March.

Kuch was caught robbing banks in 1986 and 1995.

Wouldn’t you like to weekend in Istanbul for $100?

New York Times News Service

I

usually love to be where the action is, but there are exceptions. “Waiting for a ferry to the Greek Islands just as port workers go on strike” is right up there with “staying in a youth hostel that is hosting the World Snorers Convention.”

The port strike was why I ditched Greece and hopped right from Albania to Istanbul on my Frugal summer tour of the Mediterranean. By hopped, I mean spent 48 hours on, and waiting for, buses, just barely making it to Istanbul in time for one of my favorite activities: the $100 weekend.

Yes, the $100 weekend, during which, through sleight of hand, I amaze the world by having a great time in a major city for a preposterously small amount of money.

After doing this in New York, Paris and Rio de Janeiro, I have to come clean: I’m just an illusionist. Cosmopolitan metropolises are not the hardest places to live cheaply for a weekend; in fact, they can be the easiest.

Istanbul, like those other cities, is theoretically an expensive place, where a single meal, or even taxis to and from the airport, can run you $100.

But all these cities have cheap food galore and free culture that’s yours for the Googling; they are also blanketed by public transportation and unpredictable enough to make delightful surprises almost inevitable.

Playa, a nonprofit arts and sciences organization near Summer Lake, is offering free presentations by artists and scientists this summer.

• Saturday, July 23 — Loren Irving: Finding Fremont. Bend photographer Loren Irving’s work has been made into a 30-minute documentary about John C. Fremont’s 1843 expedition through Oregon. Irving searched for 31 campsites used by Fremont’s expedition.

The evening includes a reading with Bend writer Ellen Waterston, whose writing is influenced by the cultural and geographic landscapes of the ranching West.

• Wednesday, July 27 — Dennis Jenkins: Recent Archaeology and Paisley Caves. The University of Oregon Archaeology Field School, under the direction of Jenkins, conducts research at Paisley Caves, which were reopened this summer. His talk, at the end of digging season, is about his research and includes a slide presentation.

Both events run from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Playa Commons.

Playa’s facility is located about 10 miles south of the Summer Lake store and post office at 47531 State Highway 31 in Lake County, between mileposts 81 and 82. Summer Lake is about 100 miles south of Bend.

How to do it

Marty McNamee, left, and Kellie Davidson will be judging this year’s baking division at the Deschutes County Fair.

By Penny Nakamura • For The Bulletin

K

ellie Davidson and Marty McNamee, of Redmond, are gearing up for a second year at what many people would think is the ultimate culinary dream job: judging the Deschutes County Fair Baked Goods and Con-

fections Division. But as both women will attest, this is anything but a cakewalk.

“We’re tasting at least a bite of everything, and that would be at least 150 cookies, 60 brownies, more than 100 cakes, probably 30 pies. Then there’s all the candies and breads,” said Davidson with a slight grimace. “Within each of these categories are different varieties, like under breads you will also have the cinnamon rolls and pizza rolls. Or with the candies, you have everything from fudge (to) peanut brittle and English toffees.”

McNamee, who owns the Local Grounds Cake and Coffee Shop in downtown Redmond, said it’s a total sugar high but well worth it.

“It’s a really tough job. We start in the morning and we taste till about 5 in the evening,” said McNamee, 57, who takes the job of judging seriously because she knows a lot of time has gone into each item. “People may not realize how much we have to taste test because by

the time people come to the fair, they’re only displaying the top three winners in each (age) division. They don’t see the rows and rows of everything we’ve already judged.”

Davidson, who partners with McNamee in her own business, Kellie’s Cakes, which are also sold in McNamee’s coffee shop, said this year she plans to bring some savory protein to eat during the judging breaks, to offset the eight to nine hours of judging mostly sweet items.

Strategies Davidson’s husband, Rick, 57, who is a pastry chef and a former Clark College culinary instructor, also worked as a judge last year. He used his own technique.

See Judges / C5

Want to find out how you measure up?

The deadline to enter the Deschutes County Fair Baked Goods and Confections Division is July 24. Go to www.expo .deschutes.org for online entry forms and information about rules and baking categories.

Baked items can be dropped off from 1 to 5 p.m. Aug. 1 at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond.

Closed-door judging begins Aug. 2.

Winning baked items will be on display during the fair, which runs Aug. 3-7.

“We’re tasting at least a bite of everything, and that would be at least 1 5 0 cookies, 6 0 brownies, more than 1 0 0 cakes, probably 3 0 pies. Then there’s all the candies and breads.” — Kellie Davidson, judge, Deschutes County Fair Baked Goods and Confections Division

How do you kill two hours in Istanbul without spending a dime?

Accidentally discover a Senegalese music festival right in the heart of Sultanahmet, with the Blue Mosque as a backdrop.

The $100 budget doesn’t account for housing, but I try to stay in the spirit by finding a place to crash for free.

This time, I used CouchSurfing, the site on which members post detailed profiles and ask other members for a couch or extra bed or floor to crash on.

But it’s not as simple as it seems.

The more detailed your profile, the more witty or engaging your plea for a couch, and the more times you’ve hosted people and been hosted, the easier it is. This was my first time, so I was rejected repeatedly, until I got the idea to search for other newbies.

Woman frowns at sisters’ passion for plastic surgery

AMC’s addictive ‘Breaking Bad’ is back

By Chuck Barney

“Royal Pains” 9 p.m. Wednesday, USA Yes, we’re old enough to remember Henry Winkler as the oh-so-hip “Fonz.” Now, he’s playing a dad to Hank and Evan (Mark Feuerstein, Paulo Costanzo) on “Royal Pains” and, um, he’s got a parole hearing coming up.

Contra Costa Times

Dear Abby: I dislike the prevalence of plastic surgery and Botox in today’s society. It sends young people a bad message on body image. My friend “Liz’s” stepmother loudly discussed her own daughter’s nose job, chin implant and “boob job” with Liz’s teenage daughter while at dinner in a public restaurant where everyone could hear.

My sister “Beth” told her son and daughter she’d gladly pay for new noses for them. They were offended because they are happy with their looks. (At least, they were until their mother denigrated them.) Both of my sisters have had plastic surgery. They can afford it, and that’s their business. But they make it our business by publicly congratulating each other on how well they have “aged.”

What do you think about this, Abby? Am I right?

— Natural Woman in California Dear Natural Woman: Plastic surgery has been a blessing to many people because it has lifted not only drooping flesh but sagging self-esteem. I see nothing wrong with someone getting a nose job if it will help the person feel more confident. Your sister’s offer to pay for her children’s rhinoplasty may have had more to do with her own insecurity than either of her children’s.

Cosmetic surgery and Botox are facts of life in our society for those who can afford it. I think what’s upsetting you is your sisters’ dishonesty. When they publicly congratulate each other on how well they have aged, they’re lying to whoever overhears them — and lying to themselves.

Dear Abby: My daughter and granddaughter are going to be in a wedding scheduled for the summer of 2012. The bride seems

DEAR ABBY to have watched too many wedding shows on TV, because she keeps scheduling bridesmaids luncheons and has required her attendants to go to many bridal expos with her. The shop where the bridesmaids are buying their dresses is very expensive.

I understand the bride wants it to be a special day, but my daughter is a stay-at-home mother of two. She doesn’t have the time or money to continue participating in these events. She asked me if she should back out now or level with the bride that some of her requests are a little over the top.

My daughter wants to support her friend, and doesn’t want her to think she’s trying to run the show by suggesting alternate places to look for less expensive dresses.

What do I tell her?

— Mother of the Bridesmaid Dear Mother: Friends should be able to level with each other — otherwise they aren’t friends, they are acquaintances. If the bride’s schedule of events is more than your daughter can handle, she needs to speak up. If the dresses will cause financial hardship, the bride needs to know so she can either scale back the cost or find replacements. If this is not agreeable for the bride, your daughter can “support” her friend with the rest of the wedding guests. She does not have to be a member of the wedding party to do that.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby. com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

“Breaking Bad” 10 tonight, AMC One of television’s finest dramas finally returns after a 13-month absence. When we last left Walt and Jesse (Emmywinners Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul), they were locked in a heart-stopping standoff with Gus (Giancarlo Esposito), Walt’s understated but ruthless drug-lord boss. Now the fallout from that cliffhanger arrives, along with more anxious moments and at least one shocking twist. Will Walt and Jesse be able to keep their lucrative meth lab cooking in Season 4?

C OV ER S T ORY

C4 Sunday, July 17, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Istanbul Continued from C1 It worked, and I got the thumbs up from Erol Fazlioglu, a self-employed engineer who was tickled that we had both memorized the world’s capitals when we were kids, something I had put in my profile. He offered an air mattress in a spare bedroom in his apartment in Kadikoy, on the Asian side of the city.

Istanbul is often referred to as the city where East meets West, and it’s no metaphor: The city is split by the Bosporus Strait into a European side, where most tourist attractions are and most travelers stay, and the more residential (but hardly sleepy) Asian side. The sides are connected by two bridges and numerous ferries.

Erol and I ended up spending most of the weekend together.

We tested each other on capitals, of course, but mostly I asked him to decode the city’s mysterious mix of Muslim and secular life.

Erol (an agnostic from a Muslim family) liked to spice up his answers by belting out “Tradition” in his best Tevye from “Fiddler on the Roof” voice.

(A disclosure: Erol discovered online that I was a travel writer.

Perhaps I’m being naive, but I think he would have treated me the same even if I weren’t, for three reasons: We really hit it off, he was naturally hospitable, and he had no plans for the weekend.)

Friday With only $100, or 160 Turkish lira, to spend from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, the first order of business was to load credit onto an Akbil, the public transportation pass that looks like an ice cream tasting spoon with a metal disk on the end and works smoothly across Istanbul’s ferry, bus, tram and subway systems.

After crossing to the European side on one of the frequent ferries (1.65 lira, or $1), our first stop was in the formerly rough Tophane neighborhood, where an arts scene has recently developed.

Galleries are frugal travelers’ museums: Not only are they nearly always free and nearly never musty, but they also provide insight into the local arts scene that would otherwise require a lot of trendy-cafe eavesdropping. (Not to mention learning Turkish.)

At our first stop, Depo, two films by the Norwegian artist Knut Asdam were being featured. Our second stop, Non, was my favorite, less for the exhibits than for the minimalist staircases, which hang from the ceiling with suspension-bridge-like cables. Cool. Next was Daire, where the Turkish artist Ceylan Ozturk has created striking works out of single words or phrases. Erol was smitten.

“When I visit this kind of place, I feel sorry for not being an artist,” he said.

So far, so free. We had to eat, naturally, and my major plan for the evening was to tick the famed Gulluoglu baklava palace off my list. I’m not beyond simply gorging on sweets for dinner, but to create the illusion of normality we stopped for a 2 lira ($1.25) lahmacun, a minced-meat pizza.

Then it was time for the sweet, sticky pastry with walnuts or pistachios that Gulluoglu had in countless varieties, each one more delicious looking than the next. I have no idea whether

The European side of Instabul, Turkey, as seen from the Asian side. Istanbul is often referred to as the city where East meets West, and that’s literally the case: It’s split by the Bosporus Strait into a European side, where most tourist attractions are, and the more residential Asian side. this place has the best baklava in Istanbul, but I’d be happy to die trying to find out. With tea, it cost us 5.50 lira ($3) each.

From there, it was off to Istanbul’s see-and-be-seen strolland-drink district, centered on Istiklal Street. A friend had told me where I could find the best Turkish coffee (walk to the Barcelona Cafe and turn down the alley), but she didn’t know the name of the place. When Erol heard the instructions, he knew: Mandabatmaz.

There, Cemil Pilik, a graying, slightly stooped man with a prominent nose and a far less prominent hairline, spoons the fine grounds of Turkish coffee into a little pot with the requested amount of sugar (az means lightly sweetened), and works his magic over a blue flame.

Seating is in the alley. Coffee is 3 lira ($1.90).

Next, we went to nearby Nevizade Street, so packed with bars that for me to choose one would have been an exercise in randomness. But Erol had a favorite, so we shoehorned ourselves into a sidewalk table at Kameriye, where we were so mesmerized by the scene that what should have been one 7-lira ($4.40) beer turned into two and then three.

After a late bite and a 6.50 lira ($4) shared van back across to Kadikoy, I had spent 60.95 lira, or $38.

Saturday It didn’t occur to me until Saturday — tourist attraction day — that there might have been some advantages to having a practicing Muslim, instead of the agnostic Erol, as my host. For example, Erol and I arrived at the famed Blue Mosque and found it just closing for prayer. We came back later in the afternoon, just in time for the next prayer, and ended up dilly-dallying for 45 minutes waiting for it to end. Come on, Erol, keep track of these things.

(Note to readers: Prayer times

are easily found online.)

We filled the intermediate time in part with a trip to the Grand Bazaar. Jammed with endless streets lined with jewelry, rug and souvenir shops, the bazaar didn’t really do it for me.

“Except for the ancient roof,” I told Erol, “this doesn’t look like a bazaar. It looks like a mall.”

“They didn’t have malls in the 15th century,” he replied.

Touche. Still, it’s the same idea, and being in a mall with no money to spend is no fun.

The afternoon quickly became better when we met up with Ansel Mullins, a creator of the locally famous Istanbul Eats blog who had offered to introduce me to an area of town where restaurants specialized in dishes from the province of Sanliurfa, near the Syrian border.

He then stuffed me to within a crumb of my life on a threecourse, three-restaurant crawl, all on the same square block. We had a spicy sheep’s neck soup called beyran at Ehli Kebap; a lahmacun (that minced-meat pizza) served with fresh parsley leaves at Beyzade; and moist lamb kebabs, one with eggplant and one with pistachios, at Urfali Haci Usta. My share was 28 lira ($17.50), and I ate enough for two.

Two elephants.

Our last stop on the European side was unplanned. We ran smack into a Senegalese festival at the Sultanahmet Amphitheater, a rocking event that reminded me of Summerstage in New York.

A boisterous and talented Senegalese singer introduced as Salaam had what seemed to be a local population of West African immigrants going bonkers for music from home, and the local audience somewhat haplessly trying to get into the rhythm and spirit.

Then it was back to the Asian side for a relaxing — and very cheap — evening: coffee at an outdoor cafe on the water, a cone from the beloved Ali Usta

ice cream shop, and a drink (a 10-lira, or $6.25, double-dose of anise-flavored raki) at the cozy back garden of the Lal bar on Kadife, a street of fashionable watering holes in the Moda section of Kadikoy.

Total spent through Saturday night: 125.35 lira, or $77.93.

Sunday I had saved Sunday for a museum day, but my plans changed when, the night before, I discovered online that Turkish baths, out of my reach on the touristy European side, were actually affordable if I stayed on the Asian side.

Museums exist everywhere, but here was a chance to do a Turkish bath in Turkey. So Erol and I headed to Carsi Hamami, a neighborhood bathhouse right near the ferry stop on the Asian

side. The entrance fee is 15 lira ($9.40), and it’s 5 lira each for the scrub (which removes all that dead skin) and massage (which was mediocre, but for $3, who’s complaining?).

I walked out with 1 lira to spare and realized that I had yet to try a simit, the sesame-crusted ringshaped bread that is ubiquitous and dirt cheap across the city.

(You could do a $10 weekend if you lived on it exclusively.)

With my final coins, I bought two. Erol and I went home, melted cheese on them and quite literally toasted our accomplishments as we continued to pepper each other with world capital trivia.

Total spent: 160.10 lira, or $99.54.

Judges Continued from C1 “I’m a diabetic, so I never actually swallowed what I was tasting. I expelled it, like you would with wine tasting,” he said, adding that with so much sugar on your tongue, it can feel like sawdust after a prolonged period.

“Everything happens before you actually swallow. You’re looking first at appearance, then you check for moisture and tenderness, and then taste. It has to taste as good as it looks.”

Davidson, 49, who met her husband more than 30 years ago when they were both working as bakers at the legendary but now defunct Heidi’s Bakery in Boring, said her tasting strategy didn’t include expelling but rather taking a single bite of each item and washing it down with lots of water.

“First you look at it. For example, I turn each cookie over to make sure it’s not burned or overbaked. You’d be surprised.

Then you smell it, and you feel it in your mouth, and then you taste it,” said Davidson, who confessed she did expel one item she put in her mouth last year, as she thought the taste was “truly horrible.”

When the judges are taste testing, everything is anonymous.

Each item is given only a number, so judges never know who made what items.

Helpful hints Before you preheat your ovens for the Aug. 1 drop-off of your goodies, McNamee and Davidson have some hints for those in the hunt for the grand prize and blue ribbon.

“I’d advise that bakers actually slightly underbake their products because they won’t be taste tested for at least a day or

vised using either parchment paper or a baking spray like Pam. “But do add your own creativity or twist on the recipe. Last year we awarded the grand prize for a chocolate chip cookie that had just a surprise hint of caramel. It tasted wonderful.”

Love of baking

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Kellie Davidson crafts a dog out of yellow frosting while making a batch of cupcakes. Davidson advises baking contestants to “add your own creativity or twist on the recipe.” two, and you want it to be moist and tender still,” suggested Davidson. “And make sure it looks good; appearance and presentation count.”

McNamee, who has been professionally baking and cooking for decades, said all the judges are experienced enough to know when bakers try to rush the process.

“We do and have found egg shells in some of the items. Don’t be in a hurry, and pay attention,” warned McNamee, who said there’s also the issue of too much of a good thing. “We know when too much butter has been used.

For instance, if you use too much butter in your cookies, they will be paper thin and crunchy. You don’t want that. And always, always cream your butter and sugar till the sugar is dissolved.

We’ll know if you don’t.”

Davidson and McNamee also advised bakers to use good-quality ingredients.

“If you’re spending all this time to bake, why would you use lowquality ingredients? It’s like having lobster and then dunking it in margarine; why would you do

that?” said McNamee, laughing.

“You do want to use good ingredients, like real chocolate chips, not the artificial chocolate that tastes waxy and is grainy,” said Davidson. “We know goodquality chocolate … you can taste the difference.”

Both Davidson and McNamee know their business, as they bake and decorate at least three to four wedding cakes each weekend during the wedding season, which begins in May and ends in September.

The day The Bulletin caught up with the two bakers, they were baking 1,200 cookies and 300 cupcakes for another special event.

“We know baking, so don’t cheat by short-cutting or abusing your batter. We can taste when you’ve used too much baking powder or baking soda,” said McNamee. “If you overbeat your cake batter, you can have too many holes or it will flatten like a pancake.”

“Some people also use the old-fashioned trick of flouring their cake pan. That really dries it out,” said Davidson, who ad-

Considering the sugar high, the brief case of being dizzy and being slightly nauseated, you might wonder why the Davidsons and McNamee volunteered for another tour of tasting duty.

“In this high technological world, I’m still happy to see that people still want to do some oldfashioned baking, and I want to encourage that,” explained McNamee. “I honestly didn’t realize there would be so many entrants, but this is really wholesome, and it means a lot to people. They aren’t doing it for the money, because the grand prize is something like $10. That doesn’t even cover your ingredient costs, so they have to do it for the love of baking.”

Both women say the best part of judging is encouraging the next generation of chefs and bakers so they can continue the tradition.

Davidson said watching one of the kids who won in the bread division last year sealed the deal for her to do the judging again.

“I just happened to be there when one of the kids who won a blue ribbon saw that his pizza dragon won, and he was so excited and happy. He didn’t know I had been one of the judges, and I just watched him, and that was rewarding to see his joy,” said Davidson, who knows that joy, too. “I knew how he felt because last year I entered an oil painting, and it won a blue ribbon too, and that felt really good.”

A deluxe room at the luxurious Snake River Lodge & Spa in Jackson, Wyo., typically goes for $385 a night, but it can be reserved for as low as $192 this fall. The catch: To qualify for the discount, travelers must agree to spend a portion of their vacation taking down barbed wire fences so local wildlife can roam more freely.

These days, it seems that just about every travel organization has a volunteer component, whether it is tracking iguanas on Grand Cayman or doling out food at soup kitchens in Moscow. Here are some options for the budget-conscious volunteer traveler.

Appalachian Mountain Club This conservation organization offers volunteer trail cleanup programs in a variety of locations, from the White Mountains in New Hampshire to the Virgin Islands, for as low as $220 a week. The price covers meals and rustic lodging, typically cabins, canvas tents on platforms or bunkhouses.

What you get: A supercheap vacation. On St. John, for example, volunteers stay in 10-by-14-foot tents with a solid floor and mosquito netting for $330 a week, or roughly $55 a night (tourists pay about $90 a night). Volunteers work about four to six hours a day. Afternoons are free for swimming, snorkeling or lounging on the beach.

Honeymoon doesn’t have to end in Spain

By Rachel Lee Harris New York Times News Service

My husband and I are looking to honeymoon in Spain and another European country in mid-October. We’d like to spend two weeks. My brother is giving us Marriott/Starwood points to stay in hotels, and we’re hoping to stay for $2,000 or less per person (exclusive of airfare). What suggestions do you have?

— Valerie Glassman, Durham, N.C. With Spain having so much regional variation, you could easily fill your two weeks there. But since I can’t seem to hear about a vacation to Spain without Portugal taking over the

conversation, I’d suggest Lisbon as an excellent spot for Honeymoon, Part Two. Morocco is another convenient destination.

As far as budgeting goes, Seth Sherwood began a recent “36 Hours” column about Lisbon (Jan. 27) with one word: cheap.

But the quality of the food, accommodations and night life are anything but.

He recommended taking a boat across the Tagus River to Cacilhas. There, you can sip a glass of wine at Atira-Te Ao Rio (atirateaorio.pt), a riverfront restaurant. Then head back across the mouth of the river to share small plates of quail legs sauteed in butter and lemon garlic sauce

and thin slices of warm pork on toast at Vitor Sobral’s Tasca da Esquina (tascadaesquina.pt). At only 40 to 50 euros ($56 to $70 at $1.40 to the euro) for two, it’s a more than reasonable dinner.

Then, as Andrew Ferren suggested in his “Overnighter” column of June 24, “From Lisbon, Visiting the Storied City of Evora,” a road trip from Lisbon to Evora and the surrounding wine country may be in order.

To take advantage of your hotel points, you’ll have to go farther south, to Marrakesh. There, Le Meridien N’Fis hotel offers an upscale alternative to Tangier, with elaborate gardens, a gorgeous pool, a spa and tennis courts.

A toilet-paper wedding dress?

It’s not just a bridal shower game

By Eric D. Lawrence Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — Chiffon. Satin.

Toilet paper?

Susan Brennan has added four jumbo rolls of two-ply Charmin to her list of acceptable wedding dress materials.

The West Bloomfield, Mich., woman won the $1,000 top prize in a recent national contest by making a wedding dress from toilet paper, packing tape and glue. The dress took Brennan about a week to finish.

The dress features flowers along the bottom and a pleated bodice.

Toilet paper feathers help accent

the dress, along with a bracelet.

And there’s even a hairpiece.

“I did techniques you could do with fabric. But instead of stitching them, I used tape and glue, a lot of tape and glue,” said Brennan, 25. She called it a “modern, fun, little dress.” She noted that, in the event something were to be spilled on the dress — perhaps a flute of champagne? — “it’s pretty absorbent.”

Susan Bain, co-owner of Boca Raton, Fla.-based www.cheapchic-weddings.com, said the dress stood out among about 800 entries in the website’s seventhannual toilet-paper wedding

“She used a lot of elements in modern bridal dresses,” Bain said. “She made elements of it that looked like couture dresses.”

The dress likely won’t be returned to Brennan. Bain said Ripley’s Believe It or Not, a sponsor, may take the dress as it has for past contest winners to display in a Ripley’s museum. The idea for the contest is based on a similar event held at many bridal showers, Bain said.

The wedding dress isn’t Brennan’s first foray into creative clothing design — she once made a dress out of potato chip bags.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, July 17, 2011: This year, you experience a lack of intellectual flow with key people.

Perhaps the words are different, but know that a common thread exists with issues and a concept.

If you ask for elaboration, often the communication issues tumble.

Single Moon Children might yearn for a relationship that could knock their socks off, wanting one person and one person only. Meeting that person is a strong possibility. If you are attached, you and your sweetie need to agree to disagree.

As a result, you will develop closer emotional ties. PISCES encourages more daydreaming.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH A sense of irritation could undermine your actions. Go for a walk to discover what is at the root of this feeling. You will enjoy your plans much more as a result. Throw yourself into a happening. Tonight: Make it early.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might regret saying yes to an offer or an invitation. You can decide to cancel or follow along with your initial plans. You could be surprised by how much you enjoy yourself. Later, make time just for you. Tonight: Into the wee hours ...

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Keep reaching out for a distant friend. Just because you keep missing him or her

isn’t a reason to stop trying.

Break the mold when making plans. An adventure or new experience puts a smile on your face. Tonight: Check in with a parent or older relative.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH One-on-one relating could add a confusing message.

Keep asking questions to not only clarify but also to help the other party understand what he or she wants to express. Schedule a movie for late today. Tonight: Don’t restrain your imagination.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Confirm what you think you heard rather than take offence.

Your popularity allows for many options, but it might be best to take care of an issue as it happens.

Whether with friends at a ballgame or chatting over dinner, you feel as if life is nearly perfect. Tonight: Add some romance to the mix.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Make it OK not to have spectacular plans. Relaxing, even if just reading or gardening, needs to happen. You often take on too much. Let go of day-to-day issues. Tonight: Catch up on news via email, chat or the phone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Plans could change; a tiff or two could occur. Nevertheless, you seem to enjoy a child or loved one no matter what you do together. Listen to your inner voice with him or her. This person might not be able to verbalize what he or she is thinking. Tonight: Return calls. Sensitivity counts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might need some

downtime. Invite a family member or friend over rather than go out. A misunderstanding can be cleared up given time and patience. Even though you are friends, you still might not be on the same page. Tonight: Let your innate caring emerge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Speak out and say what you think, especially if you’re uncomfortable with a situation. A confusing message could be at the base of this problem. Clear the air and enjoy your present company. Tonight: Catch up on another person’s news.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Be careful with a financial discussion and decision. Someone might only hear what he or she wants to hear. Make a talk OK, but make sure there will be another one. Your creativity surges late today. Tonight: Invite a friend or neighbor over for a barbecue.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Clarify what you mean, as any vagueness could be misconstrued. Confirm that your audience is listening. Be careful with financial matters, as you could overspend or think an idea is great, only to discover otherwise later. Tonight: Just be yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might find that someone you care about could misunderstand your intentions. Try to clear the air. Even if you can’t at this moment, don’t personalize what has been said. Tonight: Have an easy meal; have that talk. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Well, this isn’t a joke American stand-up comic Joe Wong used to be Xi Huang, a Chinese biochemist. One punch line: ‘So, uh ... I’m Irish’

By Ching-Ching Ni Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The first time the Chinese biochemist performed stand-up at an open mike was at a sports bar in Somerville, Mass., where he struggled to be heard over the noise of bowling, pool and football games on the big-screen TVs. It was a lonely five-minute set.

At most, eight people watched.

At the end, he remembers, one guy came up to him and said, “You were probably funny, but we couldn’t understand you.”

He could have hung it up right then and resigned himself to his day job, doing cancer research in a lab. But Joe Wong was determined to become an American stand-up comic.

Seven years later, Wong stepped onto the stage of New York’s Ed Sullivan Theater to make his debut on the “Late Show with David Letterman.”

Still a small, skinny guy with glasses and a very thick Chinese accent, he had found a way to make it work for him.

“Hi, everybody,” he said, raising his right hand in greeting.

“So, uh … I’m Irish.”

guage skills. So he signed up for more lessons. Then he thought the problem must be his pronunciation. So he tried writing.

The school newspaper published his piece about college life: “The roaches here are Texassized. I believe they have a very similar diet to mine.”

“My English teacher told me, ‘Who knew a Chinese guy can be funny!’” Wong said.

Soon she began tutoring him in American comedy idioms. She introduced him to Woody Allen.

She gave him tips.

Wong had studied English by memorizing sections of the Oxford English Dictionary. Now, she said, he needed to stop showing it.

“She told me to stay away from difficult words. It turns people off,” he said. “My vocabulary got smaller over the years.”

Lab work to joke work

Wong, 41, grew up Xi Huang in a small Chinese town near the Korean border, where most people did manual labor on farms or in factories.

“When I was a kid, every student had to work in the cornfields and scoop fertilizers into the crop,” he said. “Americans can’t believe it, but at lunch we’d rinse the same container off in a creek and use it to scoop soup.”

Humor, or what little of it he experienced, clicked for him early on. A form of Chinese comedy called xiangsheng, or cross talk, which features two men bantering briskly, was sometimes broadcast from loudspeakers on the town’s utility poles. When he was about 10, his father took him to a Charlie Chaplin movie.

“The whole audience was hushquiet, and all you could hear was my son laughing out loud,” Longji Huang, 68, said in a phone interview from China. “Maybe it was a sign.”

If so, it wasn’t promptly acted upon.

Wong made it to college studying biochemistry. In 1994, he left China for Houston to work toward a doctorate at Rice University.

Wong assumed he’d get laughs in America. Americans, he’d heard, laughed a lot.

“In China, there is a stereotype that Americans are funny, they like to tell jokes,” he said.

So in Houston, he tried to do likewise.

“They just didn’t get it, or they didn’t think it was a joke at all,” he said of his early forays in English.

First he blamed his poor lan-

After receiving his doctorate, Wong landed his first job, working for a Houston company that made DNA chips. When the company folded a year later, he got multiple offers. He chose Aventis, a pharmaceutical company in Cambridge, Mass.

In a lab, he grew cancer cells and decoded genes, trying to find ways to make cancers stop growing. It was a noble, well-paid job. But it wasn’t Wong’s dream, which still seemed a little halfbaked, even to him.

Wong had been to an American comedy club in Houston once. He didn’t get the slang. The comedians talked too fast.

“I didn’t understand half of what was said,” he said.

How do you learn something as intangible as comedy? Eventually, Wong sought out his comfort zone: school.

In suburban Boston, where he now lived, he signed up for an adult education class. Wong’s classmates included a barber, a used-car salesman and the owner of a hardware store. Together they learned how to structure a joke, how to use a mike and how to frame a set — starting and ending with your strongest jokes.

Wong’s teacher, Tim McIntire, a comedian and comedy club owner, said he was impressed by Wong’s well-crafted jokes, which pulled people in and had a nice twist at the end. But that was on paper and in front of supportive classmates. The real test would be in front of an audience.

Days in the lab. Nights trying to find gigs. To get them, Wong did whatever was required — even after his rough experience at Hannah’s, the Somerville sports bar.

He also started shaping more jokes around his experience as a newcomer in America: “I’m an immigrant, and I used to drive a used car with a lot of bumper stickers that are impossible to peel off, and one of them

said, ‘If you don’t speak English, go home.’ I didn’t notice it for two years.”

And he tried hard to loosen up his style — taking his time, perfecting his deadpan and drawing out his pauses for effect.

Career change It wasn’t a big prize — a $20 gift certificate — but winning the weekly stand-up competition at the Lizard Lounge for the first time meant the world to Wong.

“I still remember that night. It was snowing outside. I didn’t feel cold at all. The thrill just carried me all the way home,” he said. “I am a foreigner in America. Winning that competition made me feel accepted by my peers.”

He kept performing at the small Cambridge club and kept winning. He also kept adding cerebral, understated jokes. One popular bit — about running for president — came to him one day when he was washing his face. A club owner liked it so much, he suggested they make a video. It went on to win best short film in the 2003 Cambridge Fringe Fest.

In the film, made at Wong’s home, Wong tries to prove he’s all-American by eating Doritos and pizza — with chopsticks.

He speaks of his humble beginnings: “I grew up in a poor neighborhood in China, and in my family, food was considered an impulse buy. When I donated my blood, they had to squeeze me.”

Wong was doing so well that in 2005 he got a chance to perform for Eddie Brill, the talent scout for Letterman’s show.

“He told me I had a shot at the big time but that I needed a few more good jokes,” Wong said.

Wong kept working, and three years later he got a chance to try

Comedian Joe Wong performs at the Downtown Independent theater in Los Angeles. A self-described “all-American immigrant,” Joe grew up in China, worked by day as a cancer researcher and by night as a stand-up comic in clubs where, initially, people couldn’t understand his English. He got a huge break by appearing on David Letterman.

Wong reviews his notes before his performance at the Downtown Independent. In school, Wong’s English teacher told him, “Who knew a Chinese guy can be funny!” again.

This time, Brill booked him.

“What I look for is a kind of comedian that can make a difference in the world,” he said of Wong. “There is a small percentage of people that can do that. He stood out to me as one of a kind.”

Wong’s wife and baby son were in the green room when he performed for the first time

on Letterman. Yan Jin had been without him many a night as he tried to break into the comedy club circuit, and the woman who married a scientist in China had had her doubts at first.

But over time, she said, she’d become convinced.

“Of course I was surprised that a biotech professional would want to become a comedian,” she

said. “But after I saw his shows, I was very impressed. I didn’t want to be responsible for burying a natural talent.”

Wong’s first national TV appearance, on April 17, 2009, led quickly to others — again on Letterman, repeatedly on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” He booked national comedy tours and the headliner spot at big events.

In March 2010, he performed before 2,400 journalists and politicians at the annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents’ Association in Washington — and received a standing ovation.

But the real proof of his success came last summer, when he finally quit his job at the lab to do comedy full time.

“People at work were always very curious: ‘What makes you ever want to try stand-up comedy in the first place?’” Wong said. “I was always taken back.

I assumed everybody wants to try it once in a lifetime. It’s like Chinese food. You’ve got to try it at least once in your life. To see if you like it.”

BASEBALL Elks top AppleSox again in WCL play The Bend Elks defeated the best team in the West Coast League for the second straight night, topping the Wenatchee AppleSox 3-2 in a baseball game at Vince Genna Stadium.

Daniel Chavez got the win for the Elks (20-15 WCL), pitching eight innings while giving up just three hits and one earned run. He struck out three and walked two.

The Elks broke open a 1-1 game in the eighth inning with a pair of runs. Michael Benjamin Jr. plated the goahead run with a single, while the next batter, Bo Walter, knocked in Benjamin Jr. with a single of his own for a 3-1 lead.

Wenatchee (25-7 WCL) got off to a good start in the ninth against Bend reliever Joey McClung, putting runners at first and third with no outs. But McClung limited the damage to one run to pick up the save.

Derek Blankenship went two for three for the Elks, who managed seven hits in the game, to Wenatchee’s five.

The Elks have now won three in a row and will go for the sweep today. The series finale starts at 5:05 p.m.

The opening day of the Deschutes Dash Weekend Sports Festival had little bits of some things — like rain, wind and sun.

It also had lots of other things — like swimming, cycling and running.

PLATEAU DE BEILLE, France — A brief look at Saturday’s 14th stage of the Tour de France: Stage: It was the last and hardest of three days of climbing in the Pyrenees, featuring six ascents. The 105mile ride from Saint-Gaudens culminated with a punishing uphill finish at Plateau de Beille ski station.

Winner: Jelle Vanendert, of Belgium, riding in his first Tour, broke out of a small group of race favorites at the end of the final climb.

Yellow Jersey: Thomas Voeckler, of France, dazzled home fans again by keeping all challengers at bay. He finished among the favorites, 48 seconds behind Vanendert in seventh place.

Next stage: Riders return to the flats for Stage 15, heading eastward along the Mediterranean Sea for a 120mile route from Limoux to Montpellier.

The University of Oregon has hired a high-profile law firm and stayed mum as questions mount about the Duck football program’s $25,000 payment to a Texas-based recruiting service.

The NCAA is investigating what appears to be an inflated payment for services provided by so-called street agent Willie Lyles of Complete Scouting Services in Houston. At issue is whether Lyles helped steer a highly recruited player to Oregon.

Oregon’s silence will be difficult to maintain as the football season nears, as the Ducks garner increasing attention because of their appearance this past January in the BCS Championship Game.

Oregon went 12-1 last season, falling to Auburn in the title game.

The Ducks were ranked No. 3 in the final AP Top 25. Heisman Trophy finalist LaMichael James led the nation in rushing with 1,731 yards.

How Oregon can build on that success will no doubt take a back seat to the school’s payment to Lyles when head coach Chip Kelly faces reporters on July 26 in Los Angeles at the preseason media day for the reconfigured Pac-12 Conference.

Kelly has never commented on the matter, which surfaced this spring.

The university’s last official word came on July 1, when it released a statement by Rob Mullens, the UO athletic director. The Ducks deferred to that statement when asked for comment on this story.

“The University of Oregon athletic department has and will continue to fully cooperate with the NCAA inquiry,” Mullens said.

Former British Open champion coming to Bend I

an Baker-Finch is the type who likes to help when he can.

So when Rick DeLuca, a Bend resident and an acquaintance of Baker-Finch, called the 1991 British Open champion for help, Baker-Finch did not refuse.

A two-time winner on the PGA Tour and a current television golf analyst for CBS Sports, Baker-Finch will be in Bend Monday to host a public clinic and fundraiser at Pronghorn Club.

The beneficiary will be DeLuca’s charity, Devin’s Destiny, which hosts birthday parties for homeless children in Central Oregon.

“I told (DeLuca) I would do it if I was ever out Ian in the area,” says Baker-Finch with the accent of Baker-Finch his native Australia. “It’s a nice thing to feel like I’m doing something for somebody.”

For a $20 donation to Devin’s Destiny — named after DeLuca’s 23-year-old son who took his own life in 2009 — the public is invited to hear Baker-Finch talk about golf and his more than 30 years around the game.

Zac Blair, of Ogden, Utah, chips onto the 10th green while playing against Tyler Raber, of El Macero, Calif., during the championship match of the Pacific Northwest Men’s Amateur Championship at Bend’s Tetherow Golf Club on Saturday. Blair won the title.

Utah golfer takes Northwest Amateur

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

After playing more than eight rounds of golf in six days, Zac Blair’s golf swing finally began to falter.

Fortunately for Blair, of Ogden, Utah, he had played almost flawlessly up until that point Saturday at Bend’s Tetherow Golf Club in the 36hole final of the Pacific Northwest Men’s Amateur Championship.

Blair, a 20-year-old standout golfer at BYU, built a nearly insurmountable eight-hole lead with 11 holes to play and held on to beat Tyler Raber, of El Macero, Calif., 5 and 4.

“I got in a zone where I was hitting some good

shots and making some good putts,” said Blair after he finished off Raber. “Then I started getting a little tired. Thank goodness I had that lead.”

Blair was brilliant early on in the match.

He must have listened to his uncle, Tetherow teaching professional Mike Lewis.

“He just told me to hit some greens,” Blair said.

After taking a 4-up lead through the first 18 holes, Blair really started to play well during the breezy and sometimes drizzly afternoon round.

He won four of the first six holes of the second 18, taking an eight-hole lead with a birdie on the par-4 sixth hole.

The Timbers’ first road victory snapped a seven-match winless streak (0-6-1), and an 0-5-2 road streak. Their last victory came at home against Columbus on May 21. Jewsbury hammered the ball low to the left of Chicago goalkeeper Sean Johnson in the 25th minute for his fifth goal of the season. The penalty kick was awarded when Chicago defender Gonzalo Segares pulled down Portland forward Jorge Perlaza 10 yards from the goal.

• North Koreans figure musk deer meds cause failed World Cup tests: North Korea officials blamed traditional musk deer gland medicine used after a lightning strike for five positive tests for steroids at the Women’s World Cup, the biggest soccer doping scandal at a major tournament in 17 years. FIFA President Sepp Blatter said in Frankfurt, Germany, Saturday after two players were caught during the tournament this month, the world soccer governing body took the unprecedented step of testing the rest of the North Korean squad and found three more positive results. A North Korean delegation told Blatter and the head of FIFA’s medical committee on Saturday that the steroids were accidentally taken with traditional Chinese medicines based on the deer glands.

• Hammarstrom sends Sweden past France 2-1: Marie Hammarstrom scored in the 82nd minute Saturday, giving short-handed Sweden a 2-1 victory over France in the third-place game at the Women’s World Cup in Sinsheim, Germany. Down a player for almost 15 minutes after Josefine Oqvist was sent off for kicking Sonia Bompastor in the chest, Sweden won a corner kick that the French managed to clear at the near post. But the ball popped out to Hammarstrom, who faked out a defender with a small side-volley, touched the ball a second time and then let fly with a thunderous left-footed strike from the edge of the box.

Auto racing • Kyle Busch wins 100th career NASCAR race: Kyle Busch grabbed a souvenir for the victory lap he’d perfected 99 times before: A white “100” flag that rippled out the window of the No. 18 Toyota, one special number and a giant slice of NASCAR history. Whether purists like it or not, Busch joined an elite list in auto racing history, becoming the third NASCAR driver to win 100 races. Busch’s victory Saturday in Loudon, N.H., also tied him with Mark Martin for first place in career Nationwide Series victories with 49.

Tennis • Soderling to face Ferrer in Swedish Open final: Robin Soderling, of Sweden, will play David Ferrer, of Spain, today in a Swedish Open final in Bastad, Sweden, between former champions. The fifth-ranked Soderling routed Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 6-1, 6-0, dominating from the back of the clay court and sealing the match with an ace. The second-seeded Ferrer beat defending champion Nicolas Almagro 6-1, 6-3 in an all-Spanish semifinal.

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Yankees 4, Blue Jays 1: TORONTO — CC Sabathia won his seventh straight start to become the first 14-game winner in the majors, Brett Gardner had three hits and New York beat Toronto, ending the Blue Jays’ five-game winning streak.

Derek Jeter got two hits and matched Al Kaline for 26th place on baseball’s career list. Jeter singled in the ninth for hit No. 3,007. Sabathia (14-4) allowed one run and three hits in eight innings.

• White Sox 5, Tigers 0: DETROIT — Edwin Jackson pitched his first complete game since his no-hitter last year, and Juan Pierre added four hits to lead Chicago. Jackson (6-7) allowed nine hits in his third career shutout, striking out two and walking two.

• Red Sox 9, Rays 5: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury and Josh Reddick homered and Boston rallied from an early three-run deficit against All-Star James Shields to beat Tampa Bay. John Lackey (7-8) struck out seven while allowing four runs and 10 hits over 5 2⁄3 innings for the AL East leaders.

• Twins 4, Royals 3: MINNEAPOLIS — Michael Cuddyer singled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and Joe Nathan did his job as the new closer, giving Minnesota a win over Kansas City. Nathan finished for his fourth save in seven chances. Earlier in the day, the Twins put the former All-Star back into his familiar role, replacing the struggling Matt Capps.

• Orioles 6, Indians 5: BALTIMORE — Alfredo Simon pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, Nick Markakis homered and scored three runs, and Baltimore held on to beat Cleveland and end a ninegame losing streak.

• Angels 4-3, Athletics 2-4: OAKLAND, Calif.

— Scott Sizemore singled with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting the Athletics to a split of the first scheduled doubleheader in the major leagues in eight years. Jered Weaver won his sixth straight decision in the opener, leading the Angels to a win.

• Rangers 5, Mariners 1: SEATTLE — Ian Kinsler hit two home runs off Mariners ace Felix Hernandez and the Rangers won their 10th straight game.

C.J. Wilson (10-3) allowed just one run over seven innings and struck out seven in shutting down an inept Mariners lineup.

• Mets 11, Phillies 2: NEW YORK — Scott Hairston, subbing for ailing All-Star Carlos Beltran, hit a long homer and drove in a career-best five runs as New York hammered Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels. Daniel Murphy also went deep and Jonathon Niese pitched seven strong innings to help the depleted Mets snap a three-game skid.

• Marlins 13, Cubs 3: CHICAGO — Mike Stanton hit two home runs, Javier Vazquez struck out 10 and the Florida Marlins routed the Cubs. Hanley Ramirez hit three doubles and scored three times, and Logan Morrison added a three-run homer as the Marlins won for the seventh time in eight games.

• Diamondbacks 3, Dodgers 2: PHOENIX — Brandon Allen hit a three-run homer in his first start back in the majors to provide Ian Kennedy all the support he needed and lift Arizona past Los Angeles. The Dodgers’ Matt Kemp homered for the second straight game.

• Astros 6, Pirates 4: HOUSTON — Humberto Quintero hit the go-ahead single in a three-run eighth inning to lift Houston past Pittsburgh. Sergio Escalona (2-1) struck out two in a scoreless eighth before Houston closer Mark Melancon pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save.

• Nationals 5, Braves 2: ATLANTA — John Lannan gave up two runs in 5 2⁄3 innings and had his first two hits of the season to lead Washington over Atlanta. Lannan (6-6) also drove in two runs and earned the win eight days after he escaped with only a small cartilage break in his nose when he was hit by a line drive.

• Cardinals 4, Reds 1: CINCINNATI — Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer — his second in two days — and Chris Carpenter stymied the NL’s most prolific offense again, leading St. Louis past Cincinnati.

• Brewers 8, Rockies 7: DENVER — Rickie Weeks hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning as Milwaukee came back after squandering a seventh-inning lead and beat Colorado in a game that included the ejections of Rockies manager Jim Tracy and catcher Chris Iannetta.

• Padres 11, Giants 3: SAN DIEGO — Jesus Guzman and Orlando Hudson each hit three-run homers, and rookie Corey Luebke pitched seven strong innings to help the Padres snap a seasonhigh seven-game losing streak.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Players with light eyes deal with glare and doubts

By Sam Borden New York Times News Service

During the third inning of a March 17 spring training game, Chicago White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez hit a soft fly ball to left field. Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Mark Kotsay had his sunglasses on, as he always does, but as he ran in toward the ball it disappeared into the glare of the harsh Arizona sun.

The ball hit the ground. Kotsay, blinking away spots, picked it up and sheepishly threw it back to the infield. Then he returned to his position, readjusted his glasses and waited for the next hitter to step into the batter’s box.

Kotsay is not alone. As one of the roughly 16 percent of Americans with light-colored eyes (Kotsay’s are a soft blue), he is more affected by glare, experts say. And while acknowledgment of the issue varies from team to team and player to player, doctors say light-eyed athletes who frequently participate in day games — particularly baseball players — face increased obstacles, and even future health risks, as they repeatedly battle the sun.

“I had that ball all the way until I went to catch it,” Kotsay said. “Then it was gone. It’s frustrating. You feel like an idiot.”

He shook his head. “You don’t want to make excuses because dealing with the elements is part of our job, but it’s definitely an issue,” he said.

The eyes have it The root of the problem, said the sports optometrist Dr. Donald Teig, is that light-eyed people lack pigment in their macula, which is “a little dot, about the size of a pinhead, that sits conveniently in the most centralized portion of the eye as light passes through your pupil to get to your retina.”

“It really handles the impact of light better the more pigmented it is,” Teig said.

The concerns for light-eyed athletes came into focus recently when Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton, who has struggled to hit as effectively during the day as he does at night, revealed that team doctors told him his eye color could be a contributing factor. With a reduced sensitivity to contrast, he has a harder time picking up the seams of the baseball — the part of the ball hitters use, in a fraction of second, to identify what pitch is coming.

“If you can’t identify the pitch, that makes hitting very, very challenging,” said Dr. Bill Harrison, founder of Slow the Game Down, a company that consults with major league teams and players on visual issues. “It’s a challenge that might not exist at night.”

Hamilton has said that he is trying a variety of remedies, including different sunglasses and contact lenses designed to reduce glare. But in an interview at his Ridgefield, Conn., office, Teig, who founded the Institute for Sports Vision in 1979 and has consulted for professional teams as well as several U.S. Olympic programs, said there may be a more organic answer.

Scientific solution?

Since a lack of pigment is what leaves the macula more susceptible to glare, Teig said, increasing the pigment would increase a person’s ability to tolerate sunlight. And research has shown that nutrients known as carotenoids, often found in dark, leafy vegetables like kale or spinach, are loaded with melanin, which is the pigment found in the eye.

“So, if you take a supplement every day that’s got those nutrients,” Teig said, “I contend that you would beef up the pigment in your macula to a higher level where you’d be able to cope better with that daytime play. I know it may sound unusual, but if I ever met Josh Hamilton, I’d put him on carotenoids.”

Teig acknowledges that his idea is unorthodox, and concedes that for now, many lighteyed athletes will continue to try more traditional avenues. It is not just baseball players, either; Bethanie Mattek-Sands, a blueeyed player ranked No. 30 on the women’s tennis tour, raised eyebrows this year when she began wearing eye black — a

facial adornment typically reserved for football and baseball — during her matches.

Last month, she signed a sponsorship agreement with EyeBlack.com and wore its black strips under her eyes during her first-round loss at Wimbledon.

“I’ve gotten a mixed reaction from other players,” she said in a telephone interview from London, where she was working as a commentator for the tournament. “Tennis is pretty conservative. Some people hate it, but I’m doing it for a reason.”

Night and day Phil Nevin can relate. A former No. 1 draft pick of the Houston Astros with piercing blue eyes, Nevin played 12 seasons in the majors but still remembers the criticism he took from teammates and opposing players when, as a junior at Cal State Fullerton, he wore wraparound sunglasses during the 1992 College World Series.

“The games were on TV and it was nonstop,” said Nevin, who retired in 2006 and now manages the Class AAA Toledo Mud Hens. “But having eyes that were very sensitive, I was having to squint so much, I couldn’t see. With the sunglasses, I didn’t have to squint. I used them all through pro ball.”

That included when he was hitting, something few current players do. With glasses, Nevin finished his career hitting for a higher average during day games than at night (.304 to .255), but research by the Elias Sports Bureau and The New York Times found that, among players who began their careers since 1970 and had at least 500 day-game plate appearances, 12 of the 19 largest career drops between night- and day-game batting averages belong to lighteyed players.

Among active players, five of the 13 largest gaps are light-eyed players, including Hamilton (a 94-point drop) and San Diego Padres third baseman Chase Headley, who has greenish-blue eyes and a 53-point disparity (.286 to .233) through Thursday.

“I honestly never thought about it,” Headley said in a telephone interview. “It isn’t something that ever occurred to me and certainly not with it having anything to do with the color of my eyes. There are just so many other factors that go into it.”

Those factors range from pupil size, which can also affect how a person reacts to glare, to lifestyle. As Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said, “We’ve seen many instances where a player struggling during the day is staying out too late the night before.”

Whatever the reason, most players are dealing with daytime conditions for roughly a third of the season’s 162 games. Yet there still exists a split among players and executives over the issue of eye color.

20-20 vision?

Cashman and Mets general manager Sandy Alderson each acknowledged the importance of vision in evaluating players but said eye color was not specifically a significant aspect.

The form Yankees scouts use to record player information does not even have a line for eye color, Cashman said.

Allard Baird, the vice president for player personnel of the Boston Red Sox, said he had not heard of eye color being a factor discussed by scouts, though he includes a vision section on his player cards where evaluators are asked to assess whether a prospect has any obvious indicators of eye problems.

But Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he had known about this issue “for years.” Showalter said that although scouts have a laundry list of axioms about a player’s body type — “Don’t draft a kid with a beard because it probably means he’s done growing,” Showalter offered as an example — anything that has to do with vision is important to a player’s success.

“To this day, when I see a prospect or a kid we’re going to sign, I’ll look at his eyes,” Showalter said. “Anybody who tells you they don’t notice eye color when they’re evaluating a player probably isn’t a very good scout.”

Amateur Continued from D1 “He played REALLY well,” said Raber, a senior-to-be at UC Davis. “He just made no mistakes all day.”

But Blair then began to struggle. He needed three putts on both the eighth and ninth holes, and Raber hit a 30-foot putt for birdie on the par-4 11th to narrow the margin to five holes.

On the par-4 12th, Raber had a chance to cut into the lead further after his approach put him five feet away from birdie.

Blair, who had bladed his approach over the green, was able to get up and down to make par. And Raber missed his putt to halve the hole.

“Once that one missed, that was pretty much the end of the match,” Raber said.

Blair finally put Raber away with a par on the par-3 14th hole.

“Mom, I’m sorry I made you walk so much,” a relieved Blair said to his mother moments after hitting the 6-foot winning putt.

After the result this week, perhaps Blair should consider relocating to the Pacific Northwest.

The Northwest Amateur — which began Monday with 36holes of stroke-play qualifying followed by six rounds of match play — represents the second consecutive impressive tournament in the region in which Blair has excelled. Last week, he finished in second place in a loaded field of elite amateur golfers at the Sa-

Champion Continued from D1 But more than that, BakerFinch will be helping out DeLuca, whom he met on a transcontinental flight five years ago.

“We ended up talking for about two hours, just nonstop until we landed,” recalls DeLuca, who has lived in Bend since 1989 and hosts real estate seminars across the U.S. and beyond. “He was one of the nicest guys I ever met in my life.”

And, as DeLuca has discovered, he is true to his word.

It just happens that BakerFinch was on his way to Vancouver, British Columbia, last week for a charity golf tournament hosted by PGA Tour veteran Mike Weir.

“When all this happened, he asked me that if I ever was going to be around if I could do something for him,” Baker-Finch says.

“Hopefully we’ll raise up some money, and I get a chance to see Pronghorn and see the area and everyone has a good time.”

Going out of his way to help is nothing new for Baker-Finch, DeLuca says.

DeLuca, 63, recalls that his nephew, a fledgling golf pro, once won a mini-tour event in California. At DeLuca’s request, Baker-Finch gave the nephew a congratulatory call.

The major champion talked to the young golfer for 30 minutes, offering ideas and tips about playing professional golf.

“It’s just meant the world to the kid,” DeLuca says. “But that is the kind of guy (Baker-Finch) is.

He’s just amazing.”

For the most part, BakerFinch’s playing days are behind him.

But it is not like the 50-yearold, who lives in Jupiter, Fla., is not busy these days. He works 30 weeks a year broadcasting professional golf on CBS. That familiar Australian voice you hear every year during the Masters? That’s Baker-Finch.

He has worked in television since 1997, allowing him to stay in golf, even if his game no longer allowed him to play at a tour level.

“To stay close to the game and stay close to my friends and all the trappings of the job have been fantastic,” says BakerFinch. “I love it. I do my best, and I am just being me on TV. I am reliable and I work hard, and get along well with people. It’s been a good fit.”

His television career has been a blessing. But he was not always a voice behind a microphone.

After spending most of the 1980s on the European Tour, Baker-Finch joined the PGA Tour full time in 1989 — and won the Southwestern Bell Colonial in his first year.

Baker-Finch remained a prominent golfer, placing 16th on the 1990 money list. But he burst into the consciousness of golf fans the following year by winning the British Open at Royal Birkdale.

It turned out to be his last win, as his game famously collapsed in the years following.

He shot a horrific 92 in the first round of the 1997 British Open at par-71 Royal Troon, withdrew from the tournament and promptly retired from major

He wanted to play Sahalee Country Club, a famed course that hosted the 1998 PGA Championship. And when he booked that tournament, Blair thought that he should travel a few hours south to

the Northwest Amateur to play in another elite field and visit with his aunt and uncle in Bend.

It turned out to be great scheduling.

“I had no expectations,” Blair said with a smile on his face after Saturday’s round. “My only

real goal was to make match play and then see what happens from there.

“It was fun.”

CBS every year as well as the PGA Championship. I’ve covered the British Open Championship since 1997 (though he is not part of ESPN’s British Open broadcast this year).”

And the shape of his golf game these days?

“It’s in very good shape for a television announcer,” he jokes.

Baker-Finch has played twice this year on the Champions Tour, pro golf’s over-50 circuit. His team finished in a tie for third place in April’s Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf.

But he won’t be a regular on the tour, he says.

“It’s hard to play too much on the Champions Tour when I work 30 weeks a year for television,” Baker-Finch observes. “If I played every spare week I could it would be five times. It’s pretty hard to play at a high level when you are only playing that much.”

But he still loves to play.

“I’m a golf nut,” he says. “Every day I have a day off, I play golf.”

Like many retired athletes, Baker-Finch fights the urge to compete.

But in a lot of ways television has been his salvation, keeping him close to the game even if he no longer has it in him to play at the highest level.

“That’s just the way it is,” says

Soon after, he was behind a television microphone.

“It came along at the right time,” Baker-Finch says of his television career, which began in Australia. “I had a couple of bad years and decided to step away from the game and was offered the job over the next year.”

He moved up in the television ranks quickly, and in 1998 he began broadcasting PGA Tour events for ABC Sports.

Watson teaches the kids a lesson on the links

By Steve Douglas The Associated Press

SANDWICH, England — Amid the 30 mph winds and horizontal rainstorms that wreaked havoc at Royal St. George’s on Saturday, one man with nearly 40 years of links experience stood tall.

Playing with a smile that never left his face, Tom Watson reveled in the kind of fierce weather conditions that brought many of the early starters to their knees in a wet and wild third round at the British Open.

Watson’s 2-over 72 wasn’t the lowest score of the day, but it may have been the most impressive.

“You know, if we had weather like we had this morning the entire tournament, I don’t know who’s going to beat him,” Phil Mickelson said.

“He played in the worst of it, and I think he shot about as well as anybody did.”

Jason Day said Saturday had been his toughest day in golf.

Edoardo Molinari described the conditions as “a joke.”

Watson merely called them “bothersome.”

“The challenge of dealing with conditions on a course like this is, it’s fun,” said the 61-year-old American.

“I kind of liked that forecast yesterday, when it said it was going to get nasty out there. It worked out well for me today.”

While many players struggled in the gusts, Watson stayed solid, especially on the greens, where he needed just 29 putts.

Parring the first six holes, the five-time Open champion birdied the par-5 No. 7, delighting the huge galleries that stayed to cheer him on.

He made par with a 30-footer on No. 8 and dropped his first shot on No. 11. Three more bogeys followed, but that didn’t get him down.

“I’ll remember this day. It was a very good day out there, especially with that putter,” Watson said.

Never losing the determination that helped him win eight majors, Watson used his vast array of shots to combat the wind, often from the rough of the 10 fairways he missed off the tee.

Hitting only nine greens in regulation, he used his scrambling instincts well, too, helping him to one-putt eight times.

It was a clinic in how to play links golf. Especially in bad weather.

“Well, a lot of times you can see these young kids out there trying to hit it really hard into the wind.

That doesn’t flight the ball very well,” he said.

“Hitting low stingers, things like that, you don’t have to hit it that hard. You can just flight it by swinging it a little bit easier, and that will take the height off the ball. In my case I can’t hit it hard.

I mean, I’m 61 years old.”

Watson said it was a struggle by the end, but mentioned two British Opens where the conditions were worse.

“Muirfield in 2002 was worse.

The worst I’ve ever played in the Open Championship was at Muirfield in 1980 in the first round. Lee Trevino and I shot 68 the first round and led the field by 8 or something like that. We both played lights out.”

Watson is 4 over heading into today’s final round.

BRITISH OPEN

Unlikely Clarke maintains lead

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

SANDWICH, England — About the only predictable part of this British Open is the weather.

The biggest surprise is the list of contenders for the claret jug.

The weather was wild again Saturday, shifting from a raging wind to a gentle sea breeze, from a driving rain to brilliant sunshine, and leaving most of the field wet, tired and feeling as though they got the short end of the draw. That’s not unusual.

More peculiar was seeing Darren Clarke atop the leaderboard after a 1-under 69, his first time in contention at any major in 10 years. Right behind was Dustin Johnson, who was 4 over through the opening 13 holes of this championship and somehow wound up in the final group.

Thomas Bjorn, who threw away the British Open eight years ago at Royal St. George’s, was the first alternate at the start of the week and now is only three shots behind. There’s also a 22-year-old who plays without fear and makes it look fun — only it’s not U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, but Rickie Fowler — “Little Rickie” as they call him in these parts.

Could anyone have predicted these storylines at the start of the week?

“No,” Johnson replied. “I was playing pretty well, but you never know, especially coming into a British Open.”

At least today might be a little easier to sort out.

Clarke escaped the worst of the raging weather Saturday, leaving him far less traffic on his unlikely road to a claret jug.

He was dressed in full rain gear when he walked to the first tee for a third round that had been crowded with contenders.

When he walked off the 18th green in short sleeves, he had a one-shot lead and was blinking in the bright sunshine over Royal St. George’s.

There were 44 players within five shots of the lead going into the third round.

Now there are 12.

“If somebody had given me 69 before I was going out to play, I would have bitten their hand off for it,” Clarke said. “Saying that, we did get very fortunate with the draw. Sometimes to win any tournament, the draw can make a big difference. But in The Open Championship, it makes a huge difference. We got very lucky.”

He also was very good.

Clarke missed only two

Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke reacts after putting on the 18th green during the third day of the British Open at Royal St. George’s golf course in Sandwich, England, Saturday.

Tim Hales / The Associated Press

Dustin Johnson plays a shot off the 17th tee during the third day of the British Open on Saturday. greens in regulation, and was one of only three players who managed to break par. It was his third round in the 60s, and it put him at 5-under 205 and into the final group of the British Open for the first time since 1997 at Royal Troon.

Fewer contenders doesn’t make it any easier.

Johnson, the powerful 27year-old American, managed to make six birdies on his way to a 68 that puts him in the final group for the third time in the last six majors. The other two aren’t exactly glorious memories — an 82 to lose a three-shot lead at the U.S. Open last year, a two-shot penalty on the last hole of the PGA Championship when he didn’t realize he was in

a bunker.

“I’m going to be pretty comfortable out there tomorrow because I know what to expect, I know how to approach it, and I know what I do in those situations,” Johnson said. “So hopefully, I can go out tomorrow and play some solid golf like I’ve been doing the last few days.”

Fowler was soaked, zipped up in a cream-colored rainsuit for two-thirds of his round, yet it never seemed to bother him.

He hung around par during the worst of the conditions — a remarkable feat — and when the rain went away, he took off to higher ground. Fowler made three birdies over the last six holes for a 68 and was two shots

behind, along with Bjorn (71).

Fowler played with McIlroy, whose hopes ended with a tee shot that went out-of-bounds on the 14th. He shot 74 and was nine shots behind.

Lucas Glover, a U.S. Open champion who played in the final group Saturday, made 10 straight pars early in his round only to lose his way, but not his hopes over the final hour. Glover missed two birdie putts inside 6 feet on the back nine, and made two bogeys. He shot 73, but still was within four shots. He was tied with Miguel Angel Jimenez, who didn’t make a birdie in his round of 72.

Also still in the mix is Phil Mickelson, who has only contended once in the British Open.

He rallied when the sun began to break through the clouds and salvaged a 71, leaving him five shots back in a group that included Anthony Kim (68), PGA champion Martin Kaymer (73) and Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III, who tied for fourth at Royal St. George’s in 2003 and had a 72 to stay in range.

Kirk up one at Viking Classic

By David Brant The Associated Press

MADISON, Miss. — As the birdies mounted during Saturday’s third round of the Viking Classic, it looked as if Chris Kirk could do just about anything he wanted at Annandale Golf Club.

Golf isn’t supposed to be this easy. But the 26-year-old PGA Tour rookie sure made it look that way.

“I would never call it easy,” Kirk said. “But the conditions — there hasn’t been a whole lot of wind and the greens are just absolutely perfect. If you hit your putt on line, it’s going to go in and that makes things a lot easier.”

Kirk fired an 8-under 64 to take a one stroke lead going into the final round of the Viking Classic, just ahead of Sunghoon Kang, D.J. Trahan, George McNeill and Peter Lonard.

Kirk made four birdies in a row on the back nine in an impressive showing for one of the tour’s most successful rookies this season. He finished second behind Phil Mickelson at the Shell Houston Open and ranks 51st on the money list. He won two Nationwide Tour events in 2010, finishing second on the tour’s money list to earn his PGA Tour card.

With the world’s best golfers fighting brutal conditions at the British Open, the Viking Classic leaderboard is dotted with younger players taking advantage of their absence.

Annandale’s soft fairways and greens have certainly been more inviting.

Kang, a 24-year-old South Korean, is also in his rookie

year on the PGA Tour. He’s played some of his best golf over the past couple weeks, making the cut at the U.S. Open and finishing a seasonbest 12th at the John Deere Classic last week.

After a decent start to the season, Kang suffered through a brutal stretch in the spring, during which he missed five straight cuts.

He had a good excuse. He spent most of March serving in South Korea’s military, which was mandatory. In the process, he lost 15 pounds and obviously had little time to work on his golf game.

Kang took advantage of eagles on No. 5 and No. 11 — both par 5s — to shoot up the leaderboard after starting five strokes behind Hunter Haas and Lonard.

It was a long day for much of the field, with several players having to complete the second round before starting the third because of rain delays Friday.

Kang was one of many golfers who had to play 36 holes in the Mississippi heat, though some cloud cover made the weather more bearable.

More than 4.5 inches of rain has fallen at Annandale this week, making the course susceptible to low scores for a third straight day. The 4-under cut line was tied for the lowest mark in tournament history, and the 22-under tournament record is well within reach today.

Another PGA Tour rookie, Jim Renner, shot a 10-under 62 for the best round of the day. He started the third round eight strokes back, but now is in contention as one of three

golfers two shots back.

“I played a little more aggressive and I got rewarded,” Renner said.

Trahan won the Viking Classic in 2006 and shot a 66 on Saturday.

“But you definitely take something from this. It’s all about momentum, figuring out that line and remaining focused.”

The advantage on the go-karts, which top out at 45 mph, usually went to the lighter, smaller racers.

Then there was the 5-8 Kasper, who took his first World Cup podium last season.

He showed up in the 90-degree heat wearing his form-fitting downhill racing suit.

“He’s a character,” Nyman said. “He always has something he pulls out of his bag. I guess it’s working. He was crushing us the last time around (the course).”

Kasper finished last season strong and is hoping to build off that by working hard this summer.

But he also was enjoying the camaraderie, especially the bonding that came from riding nearly 400 miles in California in June, and camping together each night.

“We travel together all winter and it’s all racing and all business,” Kasper said. “This was a lot of fun.”

Of course, while the Napa trip aimed to give the guys a good aerobic workout, 2010 Olympic superG bronze medalist Andrew Weibrecht said the ride didn’t turn out to be quite as mellow as coaches planned.

“On paper, that was the idea, a low-cardio ride,” said Weibrecht, who is back near full strength after shoulder surgery in March 2010 and a second in January. “It was much more intense than that.

That’s what happens when you get 15 guys that are Type A.” They’ll need that intensity when the World Cup season begins, especially with such a diverse team.

“We have a really strong team depth-wise,” said Rearick, noting 17 will race the World Cup circuit full time this season. “We have a young team, but we also have a couple of guys with great experience.”

He is counting on four-time World Champion and five-time Olympic medalist Bode Miller and Ted Ligety, the 2006 Olympic gold medalist and threetime World Cup giant slalom champ, though neither attended the go-kart training.

Sullivan also is finally injury-free and trying to regain top-15 form after missing most of last season because of a concussion. And Nyman is feeling the best he has in years about his body and equipment.

“Those are important guys to have on the team for leadership,” Rearick said. “And Weibrecht is still young.”

Even younger racers such as Will Gregorak (20), Tommy Ford, of Bend, and Kasper (both 22) show promise.

Rearick, who heads to New Zealand a few weeks ahead of the racers, will soon get to see them all again on the slopes.

TOOELE, Utah — This was no mirage in the desert southwest of the Great Salt Lake.

U.S. men’s alpine ski team member Nolan Kasper zipped up his downhill racing suit, donned a helmet and accelerated through each turn — on a highspeed go-kart.

“It’s a group of young athletes, and whenever you get a bunch of guys together, we’re all going to be competitive,” said three-time Olympian Marco Sullivan, one of the team’s elder statesmen at 31. “Whether we’re on snow or karts or bikes, we’re pushing it.”

The team will cross the international dateline next month to train on New Zealand’s wintry slopes. Before they get there, they’ll already have had plenty of cross-training as they gear up for the World Cup season that starts in late October.

Team members bicycled from California’s Napa Valley to the Pacific Coast and back last month, flipped tires and swung sledgehammers in a strongman competition this week, and even butted heads on the rugby field.

While those activities were designed to test their conditioning and boost team unity, the go-karts at Miller Motorsports Park in theory presented an opportunity to hone technical skills.

“It’s a tremendous transfer of skills for a bunch of reasons,” said Sasha Rearick, men’s alpine head coach, who raced right along with his skiers Wednesday at the road course 35 miles west of Salt Lake City. “The line in any kind of motor racing or ski racing is very similar. The principles and tactics are the same. You have to be patient in the turn. You have to look for the apex, and carry speed out of the apex.”

He said kart racing also forces skiers to look ahead more so they can get their bodies in perfect position in turns.

This week’s four-hour session was arranged by Tom Eckfeldt, a former professional motorcycle racer who is in his fourth year as the men’s alpine speed coach.

“We’re talking fractions of a second when you’re talking world-class athletes,” Eckfeldt said. “Those guys being able to execute every turn (is critical).

They rely so much on instinct and old habits. When you get them out of their element, they’re able to understand and get educated a lot quicker. So we’re constantly trying to challenge them.”

Skiers were happy to oblige even if the karts were a tough fit for some, such as World Cup racer Steven Nyman, who stands 6-foot-4.

“I tried to get low in the tuck position in the straightaways ... but I don’t think I was a step ahead of anybody,” quipped Nyman, who also spun out and was rear-ended by teammate Mark Engel on the first lap.

PLATEAU DE BEILLE, France — French cyclist Thomas Voeckler retained the lead of the Tour de France on Saturday after the last stage in the Pyrenees, which was won by Jelle Vanendert of Belgium and failed to be as significant as expected for the main contenders.

Vanendert clinched the 14th stage — the first Tour stage win of his career — after finishing 21 seconds ahead of Samuel Sanchez of Spain and 46 seconds in front of third-place Andy Schleck of Luxembourg.

“I never imagined this would happen to me on my first Tour de France,” Vanendert said. “I have been feeling good in the mountains.”

The contenders were expected to launch attacks in the most grueling stage of the Pyrenees so far — which featured a 10-mile climb to Plateau de Beille — but Schleck only gained 2 seconds on defending champion Alberto Contador and Cadel Evans despite several attempts from the two-time runner-up.

Evans crossed the line fourth ahead of Colombia’s Rigoberto Uran and Contador. They all were 48 seconds behind Vanendert.

“It wasn’t possible to make a big difference, I need a steeper stage than this,” said Schleck, who rides for the Leopard Trek team with his older brother Frank. “We worked hard, we climbed well. But when you attacked today, you could only get 50 meters ahead because there was a bit of wind. But still, I got a few seconds at the end.”

Voeckler is 1 minute, 49 seconds ahead of Frank Schleck, 2:06 clear of Evans, 2:15 ahead of Andy Schleck and 4:00 in front of Contador, who is seventh behind Sanchez and Italy’s Ivan Basso.

“I’m not interested who is stronger than who,” Voeckler said. “My objective was to keep the jersey.”

Voeckler keeps predicting he will lose the yellow jersey and is stunned by his impressive form.

“It’s hard for me to believe that I’m in yellow after the Pyrenees,” he said. “It’s like a dream.”

Contador praised Voeckler,

Stage winner Jelle Vanendert climbs toward Plateau de Beille during the 14th stage of the Tour de France cycling race, Saturday. but does not expect him to keep going at this rate for much longer.

“We know he’s a great rider, but if he ever cracks one day he will really lose a lot of time,” Contador said.

The 105-mile trek from SaintGaudens to Plateau de Beille finished with a famed and tortuous ascent.

Schleck kept shooting glances at Contador when next to the three-time champion early in the last climb, looking to see if the Spaniard was struggling. Contador beat Schleck to win the Tour the past two years.

With about 6 miles remaining, Schleck, Contador and Evans accelerated ahead of the main pack.

“I tried to keep things under control,” Evans said. “It was a long, but not a steep climb. It’s at this point in the race that the contenders are pretty evenly matched, so it’s really hard to make a big difference.”

Schleck launched another attack soon after, with Contador struggling to follow until he sat on Frank Schleck’s wheel and caught up a few seconds later.

“I am satisfied because I didn’t lose any time today,” Contador said. “I can’t say I was good, because good means winning.”

Contador banged his knee twice in crashes on stages 5 and

9, but feels he can hit top form when the race reaches the high Alps on Wednesday.

“I hope that I can recover between now and then to get some time back,” Contador said. “I hope to be even better over the next few days.”

When Andy Schleck attacked for the third time with 5 miles left, he could not get away from Contador and Evans, who was Tour runner-up in 2007 and ’08.

Having waited for his moment, Vanendert timed his attack perfectly with 4 miles left, and Sanchez left it too late to reel him in.

“The favorites had already attacked several times,” said Vanendert, who won in 5 hours, 13 minutes, 25 seconds. “I thought they might already be on the limit and it was the perfect time to attack.”

As the small group of contenders and outsiders jostled for position, Basso and Voeckler tried to slip away from the Schleck brothers and Contador, but their attacks kept petering out.

It was Sanchez’s turn to attack about 2 miles from the top, and they all let him go as he is not considered a Tour contender.

The 15th stage today to Montpellier is a flat route for sprinters.

A rest day follows on Monday before the riders head to the Italian and French Alps for three more days of climbing, before a time trial on the next-to-last stage.

“I just wanted to win a stage on the Tour ... We’ll see what I can do in the Alps,” said Vanendert, who rides for Omega PharmaLotto. “The team really gave me the chance to prepare myself 100 percent for the Tour.”

British rider David Millar, and French riders Sandy Casar and Julien El Fares went ahead early on three climbs up Portet d’Aspet, Col de la Core and Col de Latrape.

The peloton — led by LeopardTrek — closed the gap to under eight minutes as they reached the foot of the category 1 Col d’Agnes, the day’s first testing ascent.

Swimmers take on the Deschutes River during the Olympic-distance triathlon at the Deschutes Dash Saturday in Bend’s Old Mill District.

Dash Continued from D1 A new Bend resident, Matt Briggs, 23, took the Olympicdistance triathlon title Saturday in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 10 seconds. Brian Schur, of Kennewick, Wash., was second in 2:08:48, and Sean Molina, of Chico, Calif., was third in 2:09:30.

Briggs, a cross-country skier who moved here from New England a couple of months ago, described his swim as “pretty miserable,� but he was able to turn his race around on the bike. “The bike was actually pretty good because I’ve been doing a ton of biking this year,� Briggs explained. “But I wasn’t sure how it would play out because I’ve been doing a lot of mountain biking.�

It played out quite well because, as Briggs observed, when he returned from the bike leg, not many bikes were on the bike racks in the transition area, which meant they were still out on the course.

On the women’s side, Marisa Asplund, of Durango, Colo., was the first finisher in 2:13:39. Lauren Taksa, of Mt. Shasta, Calif., was second in 2:23:28, and Amy Vantassel, of Portland, was third in 2:30:38.

In a repeat of their 2010 finishes, Sean Campbell, of Klamath Falls, and Ericka Luckel, of Bend, were the overall men’s and women’s winners of the Olympic-distance duathlon. Campbell finished in 2:08:05, and Luckel, who was fifth overall, was timed in 2:26:38.

Joe Gladow, of Shoreline, Wash., was the overall winner of the 10K run with a time of 33:16.

Mariah Titlow Tinger, of Somerville, Mass., won the women’s division in 40:44.

For Catharine Chopp, of Boise, Idaho, Saturday marked her fourth trip to the Deschutes Dash in about six years of doing triathlon. She — like Collins and Briggs, who have also taken part in previous Dashes — can’t seem to stay away. “This is my very favorite triathlon,� said the 48-year-old Chopp, “because Bend is such a cute town and it’s such fun here in the summer.�

Continued from D1 “Our department is committed to helping the NCAA in any way possible and until their work is complete, we are unable to comment further. Oregon athletics remains committed to operating a program of integrity.�

Oregon recently confirmed that it retained the legal services of Bond, Schoeneck & King.

Former NCAA enforcement staffer Michael Glazier leads the firm’s Collegiate Sports Practice Group, which has become known for representing schools facing NCAA infractions.

The university is also seeking to hire a “Professional Development Coordinator� in the athletics department. The job description includes “monitoring athlete-agent activity and perform regular surveillance on campus, in the community and in cyberspace for the purposes of NCAA compliance and state law.�

But it may be too late to save the Ducks from sanctions.

Rumors of possible recruiting violations first swirled in February. Yahoo! Sports and ESPN. com broke the initial story that Oregon had made $28,000 in payments to two recruiting services, which are commonly used and typically provide biographical information and video of high school and junior college players.

The amount the school paid to Lyles raised eyebrows, given his apparent mentoring relationship with Lache Seastrunk, a running back who was recruited to Oregon. Lyles also had ties to James and accompanied him to the Heisman ceremony in December.

Oregon’s $25,000 check was issued in March 2010, shortly after Seastrunk signed a letter of intent to play for the Ducks. Oregon paying Lyles to use his influence to steer a recruit to UO would be an NCAA violation.

Late last month, in response to requests by the media, Oregon released a series of documents including a “2010 National High School Evaluation Booklet� that Lyles provided the school. But nearly all of the athletes profiled were from the 2009 graduating class. One of the athletes had been killed in a car accident.

Lyles came out of hiding two weeks ago for an extensive interview with Yahoo! Sports and several other media outlets. He suggested that he threw the package together at Oregon’s behest just before the initial news reports surfaced this spring.

Although Oregon did not directly ask him or pay him to guide athletes to Oregon, Lyles maintains he was paid to help recruits achieve eligibility and make sure they followed through with their commitment to sign with the Ducks. “I look back at it now and they paid for what they saw as my access and influence with recruits,�

Lyles told Yahoo! Sports. “The service I provided went beyond what a scouting service should. ‌ I made a mistake and I’m big enough of a man to admit I was wrong.â€?

Lyles did not respond to e-mails or phone calls from The Associated Press seeking comment.

In recent days, reports have indicated that two other schools used Lyles’ services. The University of California paid him $5,000 for a 2010 national prep package, and LSU paid $6,000 for video of junior college prospects.

In March, ESPN.com quoted former Texas A&M cornerbacks coach Van Malone as saying Lyles told him the school would have to “beat� an $80,000 payment offered by other schools to get former LSU star cornerback Patrick Peterson to play for Texas A&M. Peterson, who played for LSU from 2008 to 2010, has said Lyles had nothing to do with his recruitment or college choice.

If Oregon has been transparent about its documentation concerning Lyles, the case could ultimately depend on whom the NCAA investigators believe. Lyles has said in interviews that he has spoken to the NCAA, which will not comment on ongoing investiga-

The Ducks are the latest in a recent series of high-profile college football programs to face NCAA investigations.

The NCAA on Thursday put Georgia Tech on four years of probation, fined the school $100,000 and stripped its Atlantic Coast Conference title-game victory from the 2009 football season for violations surrounding the use of an ineligible player.

Ohio State has been dogged for months by a cash-for-memorabilia scandal that has prompted the Buckeyes to vacate the 2010 season, including the Sugar Bowl victory. The school also self-imposed a two-year NCAA probation, in addition to suspending six players for the first five games and accepting the resignation of longtime head coach Jim Tressel.

The NCAA continues to investigate the recruitment of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Cam Newton of Auburn, whose father shopped him to Mississippi State in a pay-for-

play scheme.

The recruiting scandal is by far the biggest controversy Oregon has faced in recent memory, although Kelly has proven adept at shielding his team from distractions.

At the start of the 2009 season, Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount drew unwanted attention to the program for punching an opponent in the aftermath of a season-opening loss to Boise State on national television. Blount was suspended for much of the season.

Then last year, several players, including James and starting quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, himself a Heisman hopeful, encountered legal trouble. Masoli was eventually dismissed from the team, and James was suspended for the season opener.

Kelly kept the team focused with his trademark “Win The Day� mantra, and the Ducks deflected much of the negative attention by winning back-to-back Pac-10 championships and playing in last season’s national title game.

While quick to address past crises, Kelly has not said a word about Lyles. “Win The Day� won’t likely suffice as a response when he faces reporters in Los Angeles.

Redmond’s original free music event returns for another season.

Bumpy road looking good now for Americans

By Nancy Armour The Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany — The bumpy, windy road got the Americans right where they wanted to go all along.

Eight months after having to win a playoff just to get to Germany, the Americans face Japan in the Women’s World Cup final today. A win would be the ultimate finish to their improbable journey, making the United States the first three-time champions Next up and delighting • Women’s a country of World Cup, newfound fans. final, United “I believe all States vs. the way we’ll Japan find a way,” Carli Lloyd • When: said Saturday Today, after the team’s 11:45 a.m. last training • TV: ESPN session.

“It’s • Radio: KICE- going to be a tough match AM 940. like every other match has been, but I Inside believe that we • Sweden wins will find a way third-place and it’s our game; North destiny to get it Korean done.” players test For a long time, the positive for Americans steroids, were about the Page D2 only ones who believed that.

The U.S. is the No. 1-ranked team in the world and defending Olympic champion, and the Americans have dominated the women’s game for the better part of two decades now. But they arrived at the World Cup looking, well, kind of average. They were stunned in regional qualifying in November in Mexico, a team that hadn’t managed a win in its first 25 tries against its neighbor to the north, and had to beat Italy in a two-game playoff for the very last spot in the World Cup. They opened the year with a loss to Sweden, then fell to England for the first time in 22 years — so long ago U.S. player Alex Morgan hadn’t even been born yet. Then, after easy wins in their first two games in Germany, the Americans lost to Sweden again, their first loss ever in World Cup group play.

“In the past, we’d always won everything,” captain Christie Rampone said. “Those losses made our team what it is today.

We need each other and you feel that, from the locker room to the time we step on the field.”

Never was that faith in each other more evident than in their quarterfinal against Brazil. Down a player for almost an hour and on the verge of making their earliest exit ever from a major tournament, Abby Wambach’s magnificent, leaping header in the 122nd minute tied the game and sparked one of the most riveting finishes ever in a World Cup game — men’s or women’s.

The Americans beat Brazil in a penalty shootout and, just like that, the folks back home were hooked.

Hollywood celebrities, fellow pro athletes and people who don’t care about any sport, let alone soccer, have adopted the players. The Brazil match drew the third-highest ratings ever for a Women’s World Cup game, and Wednesday’s semifinal victory over France did almost as well — despite being played in the middle of the workday back home.

The Empire State Building is lit with the red, white and blue this weekend, along with Japan’s colors. And the White House is sending an official delegation led by Vice President Joe Biden’s wife, Jill, and Chelsea Clinton, who just happened to be part of that massive Rose Bowl crowd 12 years ago, the last time the Americans won the title.

“We’ve proved everyone wrong,” Lloyd said. “Now I think everyone is starting to believe in us. We’ve won everybody over, which is tremendous because the support back home has been unbelievable.”

While part of the U.S. appeal is its success here, it’s the team’s spunk that has really charmed fans, a can-do attitude uniquely — proudly — American.

This might not be the best team the U.S. has ever had, but none will try harder.

“We are disappointed in the kind of soccer we played in the last few games. It’s just not the kind of soccer we want to play,” Wambach said. “Sometimes games turn into what games turn into and you have to deal with what you’ve got and somehow find a way and figure it out.

And that’s what we did and that’s something to be proud of and

that’s what we take away from it.

“But against Japan, we want to do and play the way we’ve been training. We don’t want it just to be a dogfight. We want it to be a game people can watch and be excited about.”

Japan will have something to say about that, of course.

The Nadeshiko have never

beaten the Americans — draws in 2000, 2003 and 2004 are the best they’ve managed in 25 games — and have been outscored a whopping 77-13. They have three losses this year alone to the U.S., including a pair of 2-0 defeats in warmup games a month before the World Cup began. This also is

Japan’s first final at a major tournament, having lost to the U.S. in the semifinals at the Beijing Olympics.

“Of course it’s something I bring up,” U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said. “We’ve been there before, we’ve done it before.”

But Japan is a far better team than the one the Americans saw

in May, having upset pre-tournament favorite Germany in the quarterfinals and Sweden in the semifinals. The Nadeshiko’s ball-handling skills are exquisite, drawing comparisons to Barcelona for their lightning quick passes and slick combination play, and they dominate possession as if it’s a game of

keepaway.

They’ve shown a nice scoring touch, too — their 10 goals at the World Cup are second only to the 11 scored by the U.S. The ageless Homare Sawa has been a marvel, sharing top-scoring honors with Marta with four goals.

“Why shouldn’t we be confident?” Sawa asked.

DAVID B R OOKS

Death and budgets

I

hope you had the chance to read and reread Dudley Clendinen’s splendid essay, “The Good Short Life,” in The New York Times’ Sunday Review section. Clendinen is dying of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. If he uses all the available medical technology, it will leave him, in a few years’ time, “a conscious but motionless, mute, withered, incontinent mummy of my former self.”

Instead of choosing that long, dehumanizing, expensive course, Clendinen has decided to face death as one of life’s “most absorbing thrills and challenges.”

He concludes: “When the music stops — when I can’t tie my bow tie, tell a funny story, walk my dog, talk with Whitney, kiss someone special, or tap out lines like this — I’ll know that Life is over. It’s time to be gone.”

Clendinen’s article is worth reading for the way he defines what life is. Life is not just breathing and existing as a selfenclosed skin bag. It’s doing the activities with others you were put on Earth to do.

But it’s also valuable as a backdrop to the current budget mess. This fiscal crisis is about many things, but one of them is our inability to face death — our willingness to spend our nation into bankruptcy to extend life for a few more sickly months.

The fiscal crisis is driven largely by health care costs. We have the illusion that in spending so much on health care we are radically improving the quality of our lives. We have the barely suppressed hope that someday all this spending and innovation will produce something close to immortality.

But that’s not actually what we are buying. As Daniel Callahan and Sherwin B. Nuland point out in an essay in The New Republic called “The Quagmire,” our health care spending and innovation are not leading us toward a limitless extension of a good life.

Callahan, a co-founder of the Hastings Center, the bioethics research institution, and Nuland, a retired clinical professor of surgery at Yale, point out that more than a generation after Richard Nixon declared the “War on Cancer” in 1971, we remain far from a cure. Despite recent gains, there is no cure on the horizon for heart disease or stroke. A panel at the National Institutes of Health recently concluded that little progress had been made toward finding ways to delay Alzheimer’s disease.

Years ago, people hoped that science could delay the onset of morbidity. We would live longer, healthier lives and then die quickly. This is not happening.

Most of us will still suffer from chronic diseases for years near the end of life and then die slowly.

S. Jay Olshansky, one of the leading experts on aging, argues that life expectancy is now leveling off. “We have arrived at a moment,” Callahan and Nuland conclude, “where we are making little headway in defeating various kinds of diseases. Instead, our main achievements today consist of devising ways to marginally extend the lives of the very sick.”

Others disagree with this pessimistic view of medical progress. But that phrase, “marginally extend the lives of the very sick,” should ring in the ears.

Many of our budget problems spring from our quest to do that.

The fiscal implications are all around.

A large share of our health care spending is devoted to ill patients in the last phases of life. This sort of spending is growing fast. Americans spent $91 billion caring for Alzheimer’s patients in 2005. By 2015, according to Callahan and Nuland, the cost of Alzheimer’s will rise to $189 billion and by 2050 it is projected to rise to $1 trillion annually — double what Medicare costs right now.

Obviously, we are never going to cut off Alzheimer’s patients and leave them out on a hillside. We are never coercively going to give up on the old and ailing.

But it is hard to see us reducing health care inflation seriously unless people and their families are willing to do what Clendinen is doing — confront death and their obligations to the living.

My only point today is that we think the budget mess is a squabble between partisans in Washington. But in large measure it’s about our inability to face death and our willingness as a nation to spend whatever it takes to push it just slightly over the horizon.

AUDITS

‘Any company is at risk,’ lawyer says

D

avid Cox was at his desk in September 2009, when his receptionist announced an unexpected visitor, a special agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE. Cox is chief executive of L.E. Cook Co., a fourth-generation, family-owned nursery in Visalia, Calif., that grows deciduous trees and shrubs.

The agent handed Cox a letter and informed him he had three days to produce I-9 employment-eligibility forms for all current employees. Cox said the agent was “pleasant and nonthreatening,” but he noticed she carried a gun.

L.E. Cook was one of 1,444 businesses to receive an introduction to ICE’s stepped-up worksite enforcement program in 2009 — almost three times the number audited in 2008. Last year, 2,196 businesses were audited. An ICE representative said the agency did not categorize audits by business type and that the law applied across industries.

“Any company is at risk at any given time,” said Leon Versfeld, an immigration lawyer in Kansas City, Mo. In one prominent case, American Apparel, the clothing manufacturer, was forced to terminate 1,800 undocumented workers after a 2009 audit.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, the restaurant chain, has let go hundreds of workers since its audit began last year.

While the administration of George W. Bush focused on headline-making raids that resulted in arrests of immigrant workers, the Obama administration has gone after employers with ICE’s I-9 audits on the theory that employers who hire unauthorized workers create the demand that drives most illegal immigration.

Finance caps don’t subtract

T

he aim of campaign finance reform is to reduce the influence of money in politics. A goal of politicians is to stay in power. Therein is a problem.

One proposed solution has been capping contributions. But try as they might, reformers have not been effective in using caps on contributions to subtract money from politics.

Oregon Democratic Congressman Kurt Schrader is trying again. He has introduced an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Schrader did not like the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Basically, the court’s argument was that federal limits on corporate political expenditures chilled free speech. The decision said that the federal government could require reporting of corporate campaign contributions. What the decision threw out was the limits, giving corporations and unions more freedom to spend on candidates.

Schrader’s proposed amendment clearly gives the federal government and the states the authority to regulate campaign spending.

“In this country access to money should not equal free speech,” Schrader said. “No special interest with access to unlimited financial resources should have the ability to use that wealth to determine the outcome of an election.”

It’s not easy to change the U.S. Constitution. That’s as it should be.

An amendment needs a twothirds majority vote in the houses of Congress or there needs to be a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. If either of those things happens, threefourths of the states, that’s 38 out of 50, need to ratify any amendments.

We can’t see Schrader’s amendment jumping through all those hoops.

Then there is the merit of caps on contributions.

Caps follow a pattern. Donors and candidates find loopholes in caps.

Those are plugged. More loopholes are found. Repeat.

Caps are a far from perfect fix.

Prompt disclosure of contributions can be more effective. The courts have found them acceptable. And Oregon, for instance, has worked to make its data readily available.

Disclosure doesn’t stop money from having a distorting influence on campaigns. It enables the public to better see how campaigns may be distorted. And it does so without the government stepping in and deciding for the public what forms of speech should be trusted and what should not.

Premium deal must happen

O

ne of Oregon’s largest state employee unions announced on its website last week that “for the first time in state history, that we would be willing to discuss a premium share on health insurance.”

We wish them a hearty welcome to the world in which most Oregonians live.

The state is in negotiations with the two largest state employee unions. The next scheduled meeting is Monday.

Gov. John Kitzhaber has said from the beginning of the negotiations that state payroll should not increase by more than 6 percent for the 2011-2013 budget years. That’s about $183 million in general fund and lottery fund dollars. And that is indeed what was passed in the state budget.

More than half of that $183 million is a done deal. The Legislature did not approve a change in the state’s public employee retirement system — the so-called 6 percent pickup. It will cost the state more than $100 million for 2011-2013.

Kitzhaber asked the unions to start paying 5 percent of their health insurance premium costs. It offsets state costs and also gives union members greater stake in keeping health care costs down. Not every employee would have to pay the full 5 percent. In the first year, there might be a subsidy to help workers who make less than

$30,000 make the payments.

The state says its savings would be $24,525,127 if the unions agree to pay the 5 percent.

Unions have protested. They argue that they have already agreed this year to pay more in co-pays and had other changes in their health care plan.

The math isn’t on their side.

Without that savings, the other increases they are getting would push the state payroll increases past that 6 percent threshold.

That would not be good for Kitzhaber. It would not be good for the unions.

Some Democrats and Republicans have publicly, at least, praised Kitzhaber for the first few months of his new term. What many Oregonians are likely looking for, though, is how well he lives up to his campaign promises.

One of those was an insistence that state employees begin paying a portion of their health insurance premiums.

As for the unions, they made their reputation by standing up for the little guy. Now most Oregonians do not enjoy the kind of benefits that state employees do.

If Kitzhaber cannot get the unions to agree to pay that 5 percent, it will hurt him. It will hurt Oregonians in their wallet, and it will hurt unions.

My Nickel’s Worth Duck rescue My sister and I were on our way to a hike when we came upon a mother duck trying to get her ducklings across busy 27th Street south of Reed Market. We stopped the car and got out to shepherd the crew across to safety. We then discovered that four of her ducklings had fallen into the storm drain and were trapped. We pulled over and called the police department. Officer Jared Adams, Community Service Officer, was dispatched to help us. He lifted the drain and got the ducklings out and made a call to a wildlife rescuer who would come and pick them up.

We moved to Bend over a year ago because we think this is just about the greatest town in the U.S. and the Bend Police Department is one reason why this is so. This was obviously not a major/minor crime situation, but it is these small things that make Bend so special. A footnote to this situation: Not one of the cars that had to stop while we tried to get the ducks off the road honked or got impatient with our rescue attempt. You wouldn’t find that true in lots of other places.

Forgotten war It is often said that the Korean Conflict of 1950-53 is “The Forgotten War” — even a book was so titled. I’d bet that

those living veterans of that conflict haven’t forgotten it and that the living relatives of those who died fighting there haven’t forgotten it — nor should they.

June 25 was the 61st anniversary of the start of that conflict, and to my surprise (and chagrin), The Bulletin didn’t even mention that historic date — not even in the daily item entitled “Today in History,” which did note Custer’s defeat at the Little Bighorn in 1876.

I forgive my favorite newspaper for this unintentional oversight.

Bad move I am writing this letter on behalf of some of the senior citizens that go to the senior center to eat lunch.

On June 16, I attended the Bend Park & Recreation District’s panel discussion about moving the noon meal to Bend’s Community Center. I think this is a terrible idea. I don’t see anything wrong with how things have been and neither did any of the seniors we sat with during the panel discussion. It feels like the Bend park district wants to cater to the more active younger senior population and displace the older seniors who attend the senior center for their noon meal. Why? They said by moving the noon meal to Bend’s Community Center they could fit 300 people, yet there are not enough parking places for all those

cars. The location also does not have access to our city bus system.

The current location on Reed Market Road has plenty of parking, trees and is easily wheelchair accessible. It is my understanding that seniors donated money to build the current senior center. Now money is going to be needed to make sure Bend’s Community Center meets the needs of seniors. Where is the money going to come from?

Seniors?

We the people My frustration: Our present administration has so misdiagnosed the economic problem in the U.S. that I believe we need to give them a clear path to our economic recovery.

I propose we cancel our oil leases because the oil under our country belongs to us. We the people will renegotiate the harvesting of our natural resource at an equitable rate and build several more refineries within our borders. We will have gas and diesel at $1.50 per gallon or less. The elitist few may not continue on this present course.

The rejoinder “gas is $5 a gallon in Europe” is specious — our forefathers left Europe for a better life and clearly defined and protected freedoms.

We the people must give our politicians the message: Enough already!

Weeks before his death, my interview with Karzai’s half brother

A

hmed Wali Karzai’s life and death sum up perfectly the Afghan trap in which America is caught.

When I interviewed him in his Kandahar home on a May morning, after being ushered in by armed guards, there was already a queue waiting to see him. His cellphone never stopped ringing, nor did his fingers ever stop moving his worry beads, as he sat, legs crossed and feet bare, on one of the plush couches that lined his receiving room. After all, he was the half brother of President Hamid Karzai and the godfather of southern Afghanistan.

He was also a fluent English-speaker who had lived for years in Chicago, a corrupt wheeler-dealer whom U.S. officials believed was profiting from the drug trade and hurting our efforts to weaken the Taliban. For a while, U.S. diplomats and military brass tried to devise a way to remove AWK, as he was known; during this past year they gave up trying. In part, this was because of his brother’s unyielding support, but it was also because he could make things happen. He had the power to maneuver Afghan’s opaque tribal politics in a way that the Americans needed and

TRUDY RUBIN never mastered. (Maybe that’s why the CIA had him on the payroll for years.)

His murder by a close associate (perhaps sent by the Taliban) reminds us that security gains in Kandahar haven’t prevented assassinations of top officials.

Karzai was the head of the provincial council, but he actually ran Kandahar.

The provincial governor and city mayor are expatriate Afghans and Karzai family friends; they served at his pleasure and will likely depart soon now that he’s gone.

His most likely replacement — who would probably assume the job of governor — is another corrupt warlord.

And yet, when I recall our conversation in May — and wonder whether he was shot in the room where we met — I realize he said things that deserve our attention.

No doubt he told lies, and he was infuriat-

ing in his refusal to take blame for his actions. But AWK knew things Americans must grasp if we want to leave Afghanistan any better off than before we came.

Let me get to the infuriating part first, which was so in-your-face that it was grimly amusing. Of course, he totally denied any connection with drugs or thievery, either by him or his family.

I asked about a notorious Kandahar building project called Ay Nomina, with huge mansions built on government land sold cheaply to his brother Mahmoud and partners. AWK said he was building a house there, and that “Ay Nomina is one of the best projects in Afghanistan. No society in the world is equal. That is why communism failed and why capitalism is going good.” Of course it is also why so many Kandaharis despise the Kabul government headed by his brother.

But AWK added, in a relevant aside: “The American presence here has nothing to do with my brother. You didn’t come here to fight a war against corruption, nor will you leave because of corruption.

“Corruption happens everywhere.

Don’t blame Afghans for small things. We

can only fight corruption once we have security.”

And then he reached the theme that erased his bored expression and animated his face. “You came to destroy terrorism and now you want to leave,” he spat out.

But if America wants to leave, he went on, “you should stop Pakistan. Otherwise when you leave, the Taliban will return.”

It became clear that for AWK, the only issue that mattered was Pakistan. If Pakistan didn’t stop providing a safe haven for Taliban, just across the border from Kandahar, then “all of the progress of the past 10 years will disappear. What would you do if Mexico brought enemies to a border town, trained them, and sent them across?

When is Pakistan going to stop?”

AWK also poured scorn on the idea of talks with the Taliban, a goal the Obama administration is seeking, and one publicly embraced by President Karzai. “If anyone believes the Taliban is separate from al-Qaeda, they are stupid,” he said.

He argued such talks can only work from a position of strength, if the United States keeps bases in Afghanistan for some time yet: “If they decide to leave in

a rush, Afghanistan will become a battleground,” with India and Russia arming opponents of the Taliban.

“Pashtuns don’t want the Taliban,” he insisted, referring to Afghanistan’s largest ethnic group, to which the Taliban belong.

“We have our own systems, our own mullahs. The Taliban don’t fit. We’ve never had a Mullah president (such as Taliban leader Mullah Omar) in all our history.

“The Taliban are an ISI (Pakistani intelligence) movement,” he railed, used as a proxy in Pakistan’s war against India.

“Tell Gen. (David) Petraeus, that clearing Afghanistan (of Taliban) means stopping Pakistan.”

However self-serving were AWK’s arguments on corruption, his plea on Pakistan had the ring of truth. But I fear U.S. officials have no better ideas of how to separate Pakistan from its Taliban proxies than they did of how to remove Ahmed Wali Karzai (or how to replace him). The AWK “problem” is now history, but the Pakistan problem lives on.

O Dumb and dumber war in Libya A

lmost daily over the last four months we were told that Muammar Gadhafi was about ready to throw in the towel and give up.

Libya, after all, is not a distant Afghanistan or Iraq with a population of some 30 million. Yet this tiny police state of less than 7 million people, conveniently located on the Mediterranean Sea opposite nearby Europe, continues to thwart the three great powers of the NATO alliance and thousands of “Arab Spring” rebels.

In March, President Obama ordered the use of American bombers and cruise missiles to join in with the French and British to finish off the tottering Gadhafi regime. Obama was apparently stung by liberal criticism that the U.S. had done little to help rebels in their weeks-long effort to remove Gadhafi — after only belatedly supporting the successful revolutionaries in Tunisia and Egypt.

Months ago, intervention to the Obama administration seemed a short, painless way of ridding the world of a decadeslong international menace while gaining praise for helping “democratic” reformers. Oil, of course, is always a subtext in any Middle Eastern war.

But almost immediately contradictions arose. Sometimes we ordered Gadhafi to leave; at other times we insisted we were only helping the rebels. Bombs seemed to be aimed at the Gadhafi family, even as we denied such targeted killing — and

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON were reminded that U.S. law forbids the assassination of foreign leaders.

The rebels were variously described as would-be democratic reformers, inept amateurs, hard-core Islamists, or mixtures of all three. No one seems to have answers months later, though many insurgents share a deep-seeded racial and religious hatred of Gadhafi’s African mercenaries. Who knows whether postGadhafi Libya will become an Islamic republic, a Somalia-like mess, another Arab dictatorship or a Turkish-style democracy?

The more NATO forces destroyed Gadhafi’s tanks, artillery, planes and boats, the more the unhinged dictator seemed to cling to power. Western leaders had forgotten that Gadhafi lost a war with Egypt in 1977, lost a war with Chad in 1987, and came out on the losing end of Ronald Reagan’s bombing campaign in 1986 — and yet clung to power and remains the planet’s longest-ruling dictator.

Terror, oil, cash reserves and a loyal mercenary army are a potent combination.

The Obama administration asked for legal authorization from the Arab

League — the majority of whose member states are not democratic — and the U.N., but to this day strangely has not requested authorization from Congress.

As Obama sought legitimacy within international authorizations, he failed to note that no U.N. or Arab League resolution actually had allowed him to conduct a full-scale air war against Gadhafi’s ruling clique. The Chinese and Russians are both happy to keep pointing that out.

Both conservatives and liberals were flabbergasted by the sudden preemptive war. Conservatives who supported the messy efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq were reluctant to champion a third one in Libya without congressional authority and with no clearly stated mission or methodology. When we entered an on-again/off-again cycle of operations, Republicans charged that a weakened, fiscally insolvent America was sort of “leading from behind.”

Liberals were appalled that the president, who, as a senator, had always praised the War Powers Act, was now ordering his legal team to find ingenious ways of bypassing it. If this was to be a multilateral, un-Bush war, why then did it split NATO apart? Roughly half the members declined to participate. Both Germany and Italy soon openly opposed the effort. And now the instigator, France, seems to want to bail.

The left had also decried Western attacks on oil-exporting Muslim countries,

but now liberal-in-chief Barack Obama was doing just that. Indeed, the antiwar president who promised to end the Bush Mideast wars had suddenly expanded them into a third theater. The more the war dragged on, the more the Arab world was torn between hating Gadhafi and hating Obama’s bombs.

The odious Gadhafi has been an international pariah for most of his tenure, funding terrorists, killing Americans and murdering dissidents. But even as the bombs were dropped, he was a monster in the midst of rehab. By late 2010 his jet-setting family was being courted by Western intellectuals, reestablishing diplomatic relations with the United States, offering oil concessions to the West, and being praised as a partner in the war against radical Islamic terrorism.

Then, with a snap of the fingers, in early 2011 Gadhafi was suddenly reinvented as a Saddam Hussein-like ogre and dodging Western cruise missiles and bombs targeted at his person.

What is next?

The general consensus, from both left and right, is that we should finish the misadventure as quickly as possible. Apparently, the only thing worse than starting a stupid, unnecessary war against a madman is losing it.

Hitler’s killer coffee and talking dogs A

t this late date, when we believe we know absolutely everything about Adolf Hitler, could it be that he was even crazier than we thought?

From Caligula to Nero to Gadhafi, dictators are often not just cruel and evil, but lunatics. It’s very rare to find a rational dictator. Absolute power deranges them and gives them delusions and fantasies.

So we shouldn’t be surprised by news reports suggesting the Fuhrer was batty beyond even Mel Brooks’ satire.

First, an MI5 document was declassified in London in April, revealing megalomaniacal schemes for Nazis to rise again if they lost the war by scattering sleeper agents around the world, and by killing Allied officers with poison infused in sausages, chocolate, Nescafe coffee, cigarette lighters and Bayer aspirin.

German agents said they were instructed to first offer Allied targets a cigarette treated by Nazi scientists to give the smoker a headache, then finish the job with a poison aspirin that would kill within 10 minutes.

Secret German weapons included a pellet that would emit a fatal vapor when heated by cigarette ash; poison for books, desks and door handles; a tablet of exploding powdered glass that would activate when placed next to a wet glass, and a belt buckle with a silver swastika that concealed a .32 pistol that could fire two shots.

“The Werewolf organization, a network of Nazi saboteurs who would fight to create a Fourth Reich in the event Hitler’s empire crumbled, were to leave tins of instant coffee powder and other

MAUREEN DOWD foods laced with toxins where they could be found by British and American soldiers,” The Daily Mail of London wrote, describing the declassified dossier.

Four German spies captured after they parachuted into France in 1945, including one woman, spilled some of the assassination plots. Female agents were given purse mirrors with microbes hidden inside them, so they might infect top Allied occupiers with deadly bacteria.

British military officials at the time considered the agents’ stories “somewhat fantastic,” but were worried enough to prohibit “the eating of German food or the smoking of German cigarettes” by advancing Allied troops.

A new book, “Amazing Dogs,” by Jon Bondeson, a senior lecturer at Cardiff University in Wales, reveals that Hitler supported a German school that tried to teach large, muscular mastiffs to “talk” to humans. This story set off a panting spate of “Heel Hitler,” “Furred Reich,” “Wooffan SS” and “Arf Wiedersehen” headlines in British tabloids and plenty of claims that Hitler was “barking mad.”

“There were some very strange experiments going on in wartime Germany, with regard to dog-human communication,” Bondeson writes, wondering: “Were the Nazis trying to develop a breed of super-intelligent canine stormtroop-

ers, capable of communicating with their human masters of the Herrenvolk?”

He discovered a 1943 Nazi magazine piece about the headmistress of the canine school, a Margarethe Schmitt, claiming that some of the dogs spoke a few words.

“At a Nazi study course, a talking dog was once asked ‘Who is Adolf Hitler?’ and replied ‘Mein Fuhrer!’” Bondeson writes of these claims, noting that “the Nazis, who had such conspicuous disregard for human rights, felt more strongly about the animals.”

Nazi propaganda dwelled on Hitler as a dog lover. He owned two German Shepherds named Bella and Blondi. He tested a cyanide capsule on Blondi and killed her just before he committed suicide in the bunker.

The Nazis took their dogs seriously. As

The Guardian reported in January, the Nazi government was so furious about a dog in Finland that had been trained to imitate Hitler with a Nazi salute that the foreign office in Berlin started “an obsessive campaign” to destroy its owner.

Bondeson writes that in Germany in the ’20s, some people had a strong belief in the potential of superintelligent animals.

He said that along with Thomas Mann and Hermann Hesse, an Airedale terrier named Rolf was considered one of the leading German intellectuals of the early 1900s. Rolf’s owner said she taught him his own alphabet with a system of taps of his paw on a board and, Bondeson notes drolly, “he successfully dabbled in mathematics, ethics, religion and philosophy.”

The latest wacky Hitler story comes from the British author Graeme Donald. He says that, while researching a military book, he stumbled across a story that Hitler and Heinrich Himmler were so worried about German soldiers’ getting sexual diseases from French hookers that they cooked up a plan for soldiers to carry small blow-up blond, blue-eyed dolls called “gynoids” in their backpacks to use as sex “comforters.”

Donald said Himmler ordered 50 dolls but the soldiers were too embarrassed to carry them.

“In the end the idea fizzled out,” Donald told The Sun, “and the place where they were made and all the dolls were destroyed in the bombing of Dresden.”

Why an accurate Haitian death toll matters

By Robert Muggah and Athena Kolbe Los Angeles Times

S

ince the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, there have been at least 60,000 civilian deaths that wouldn’t otherwise have occurred. Or maybe that number is closer to 650,000.

Between 1998 and 2004, 5.4 million people died in a war and its aftermath in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Or was it one-fifth that number? In Haiti, fewer than 46,000 people were killed in the January 2010 earthquake. Or perhaps the death toll was more than 300,000.

The science of measuring mortality and morbidity is controversial. There are bitter disputes among groups of researchers who study death tolls in the world’s hot spots. Many governments would also prefer to avoid discreetly any discussion of the civilian costs of war. Yet the numbers matter. They can influence political responses to armed conflicts, famines and natural disasters.

Statistics are routinely used to draw attention to evidence of systematic human rights violations and even genocide.

Haiti is the site of the latest uproar over civilian death counts.

The earthquake that struck outside the capital last year was without doubt Haiti’s worst natural disaster. Within days of the event, Haitian authorities estimated that more than 230,000 people had been killed and another 300,000 injured. A year later, the prime minister claimed instead that 316,000 citizens had

died. Few outsiders questioned the numbers or their underlying methodologies at the time, despite the statistics appearing to have been plucked out of thin air.

In June, a group commissioned by the U.S. Agency for International Development offered a dramatically reduced death toll. The authors claimed that between 46,000 and 85,000 Haitians had been killed and another 850,000 assembled in camps. Although the numbers were considerably more conservative than the Haitian government’s figures, the authors did not adequately explain how they were generated.

There are reasons to be cautious about both the high and the low estimates.

The Haitian government estimates have no factual basis. As for the June report, USAID officials have already distanced themselves from it, describing it as “internally inconsistent.” The lower estimates emerged during a period of intense criticism of the slow pace of Haiti’s recovery and reconstruction efforts. The report’s timing seems to be part of a wider pattern of donor impatience and fatigue.

Much of the $10 billion pledged for reconstruction has yet to be disbursed. By diminishing the severity of the situation, some Haitian and foreign aid groups fear, the lower estimates might encourage donors to justify an earlier exit.

Meanwhile, the study’s lead author, who works for the Washington-based group LTL, responded by saying that “the higher death toll estimates were not supported by

research or other evidence.” Though this is no doubt correct, it amounts to the pot calling the kettle black.

We arrived at a different set of numbers from those previous estimates in Haiti, and here’s why we feel ours are more reliable. With support from the United Nations and the International Development Research Center, our North American-Haitian team of researchers was able to carefully examine the costs and consequences of the unfolding crisis on the ground. After administering several household surveys, we estimate that there were roughly 158,000 deaths in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas in the six weeks after the earthquake. This is at least twice LTL’s estimate and half the Haitian government’s claim.

Administering household surveys in any conflict or disaster zone is challenging. It is often impossible to come up with a representative sample of the pre-crisis population, and therefore extremely difficult to judge how its condition may have changed in the post-crisis period. Coincidentally, we had undertaken a major survey in Haiti in late 2009 that drew on a random sample of residents. We then resurveyed the same households roughly 50 days after the earthquake.

There were formidable obstacles to surveying post-quake Haiti. We tracked down more than 90 percent of the original sample, which had spread across Haiti or relocated to the Dominican, Canada and the U.S. Without the earlier 2009 survey,

we would never have been able to generate an accurate post-quake sample, owing to the dispersal of residents.

It is inconceivable that LTL, a year after the quake, interviewed a representative sample of the pre-quake population.

In fact, it appears that LTL arrived at its low mortality count by focusing narrowly on a selection of adult respondents. Our study, released in a peer-reviewed journal, indicates that children were at much higher risk of dying. LTL also claims to have asked neighbors for information rather than tracking down the missing.

In our survey, we found many cases of inconsistent reporting by neighbors.

Establishing Haiti’s post-earthquake death count is not an academic exercise.

Too often, spurious numbers are invoked to justify specific ideological viewpoints.

For example, in Iraq, people making the case that the war was ill-conceived cite higher rates, while those supporting the intervention point to lower ones. In Haiti, there is a risk that those wishing to justify reductions in aid may seize on the lower figures, and some Haitian officials and relief groups may have strong incentives to go with the higher ones.

In the job market, it’s adapt or die

T

he rise in the unemployment rate last month to 9.2 percent has Democrats and Republicans reliably falling back on their respective cure-alls.

It is evidence for liberals that we need more stimulus and for conservatives that we need more tax cuts to increase demand. I am sure there is truth in both, but I do not believe they are the whole story.

I think something else, something new — something that will require our kids not so much to find their next job as to invent their next job — is also influencing today’s job market more than people realize.

Look at the news these days from the most dynamic sector of the U.S. economy — Silicon Valley. Facebook is now valued near $100 billion, Twitter at $8 billion, Groupon at $30 billion, Zynga at $20 billion and LinkedIn at $8 billion. These are the fastest-growing Internet/social networking companies in the world, and here’s what’s scary: You could easily fit all their employees together into the 20,000 seats in Madison Square Garden, and still have room for grandma.

Indeed, what is most striking when you talk to employers today is how many of them have used the pressure of the recession to become even more productive by deploying more automation technologies, software, outsourcing, robotics — anything they can use to make better products with reduced head count and health care and pension liabilities. That is not going to change. And while many of them are hiring, they are increasingly picky.

Today’s college grads need to be aware that the rising trend in Silicon Valley is to evaluate employees every quarter, not annually. Because the merger of globalization and the IT revolution means new products are being phased in and out so fast that companies cannot afford to wait until the end of the year to figure out whether a team leader is doing a good job.

Whatever you may be thinking when you apply for a job today, you can be sure the employer is asking this: Can this person add value every hour, every day — more than a worker in India, a robot or a computer? Can he or she help my company adapt by not only doing the job today but also reinventing the job for tomorrow? And can he or she adapt with all the change, so my company can adapt and export more?

But you would never know that from listening to the debate in Washington, where some Democrats still tend to talk about job creation as if it’s the 1960s and some Republicans as if it’s the 1980s. But this is not your parents’ job market.

This is precisely why LinkedIn’s founder, Reid Garrett Hoffman, one of the premier starter-uppers in Silicon Valley — besides co-founding LinkedIn, he is on the board of Zynga, was an early investor in Facebook and sits on the board of Mozilla — has a book coming out after the new year called “The Start-Up of You,” co-written with Ben Casnocha.

Its subtitle could easily be: “Hey, recent graduates! Hey, 35-year-old midcareer professional! Here’s how you build your career today.”

Hoffman argues that professionals need an entirely new mindset and skill set to compete. “The old paradigm of climb up a stable career ladder is dead and gone,” he said to me. “No career is a sure thing anymore. The uncertain, rapidly changing conditions in which entrepreneurs start companies is what it’s now like for all of us fashioning a career.

Therefore you should approach career strategy the same way an entrepreneur approaches starting a business.”

To begin with, Hoffman says, that means ditching a grand life plan. Entrepreneurs don’t write a 100-page business plan and execute it one time; they’re always experimenting and adapting based on what they learn.

It also means using your network to pull in information and intelligence about where the growth opportunities are — and then investing in yourself to build skills that will allow you to take advantage of those opportunities. Hoffman adds: “You can’t just say, ‘I have a college degree, I have a right to a job, now someone else should figure out how to hire and train me.’” You have to know which industries are working and what is happening inside them and then “find a way to add value in a way no one else can.”

Finally, you have to strengthen the muscles of resilience. “You may have seen the news that (the) online radio service Pandora went public the other week,” Hoffman said. “What’s lesser known is that in the early days (the founder) pitched his idea more than 300 times to VCs with no luck.”

Wall Street novels put stock in details

‘A Death in Summer’: a beach read for the brainy

By Kevin Roose

By Carolyn Kellogg

New York Times News Service

Los Angeles Times

There’s always been an unspoken rule about Wall Street thrillers: brand matters.

In this genre, an office visitor never simply takes a drink of water; he sips Sanfaustino. A trader doesn’t get nervous when his picks aren’t hitting; he begins fiddling with his Hermes tie. Bankers aren’t well dressed; they are “suited in the battle rattle of Armani pinstripes and Gucci loafers.”

But in the age of Bernard Madoff and the Galleon Group, when “expert networks” and “front-runners” are becoming household terms, it’s no longer enough to get the product placement right.

The financial details are important, too. Three recent thrillers — all set in the seedy underbelly of the finance world and written by former financiers — are bringing Wall Street minutiae to Main Street masses.

“Bull Street” (Brindle Publishing) was written by David Lender, a 25year finance veteran with Wall Street bona fides and a flair for zippy narrative. The novel follows Richard Blum, a young associate at an investment firm, through his first months on the job. Through no fault of his own, the financier is ensnared in an insider trading ring and must spend the rest of the novel evading both the Securities and Exchange Commission and rogues inside his firm. With plenty of gunshots and chase scenes to ratchet up the suspense, it’s Michael Lewis meets Michael Bay. Lender, a former managing director at Bank of America, does an admirable job of replicating the rapid-fire dialogue common to the deal-making world. In one scene, Blum’s boss, the investing kingpin Harold Milner, discusses a potential buyout deal with his banker: “‘So, guys,’ Milner said, ‘I can do the permanent financing once I take control. The real catch is, I need the front money to finance the tender offer to buy the company until I can put my permanent financing in place.’

‘We figure you’ll need about $6 billion, including refinancing their existing debt,’ Steinberg said.

‘Right,’ Milner said. ‘So where do I get that kind of money in the middle of the worst credit crunch any of us has ever seen?’

‘Our partner GCG has a big balance sheet,’ Steinberg said.

‘I’m all ears,’ Milner said.”

By contrast, H.T. Narea’s entry in the financial thriller genre, “The Fund” (Minotaur Books), contains more geopolitical villainy than boardroom jousting. The book features Kate Molares, a laid-off Bear Stearns trader turned government intelligence expert who uses her financial expertise to track down a network of criminal moneymen.

Narea, a former managing director and principal at JPMorgan Chase, has given his readers a sprawling book with bailout-size stakes: bomb plots, biological terrorism and attacks on the Federal Reserve of the literal, rather than the Ron Paul, variety.

Norb Vonnegut’s “The Gods of Greenwich” (Forge Books) is set in the consumption capital of Connecticut. The book follows a down-and-out hedge fund veteran who lands at Leeser Capital, a shady fund run by a man “who made Enron’s execs look like saints.” Vonnegut’s novel rings the truest of the three and is certainly the biggest namedropper, with Amaranth Advisors, Long-Term Capital Management, AQR, Tudor, Bridgewater Associates and other members of the hedge fund pantheon making cameos.

It starts with a dead man.

Rich, powerful and headless, Richard Jewell is sprawled across his desk, his hands still grasping one of his well-polished shotguns.

There is no small amount of glee in Benjamin Black’s description of the scene — “he lay with a bit of jawbone and a few teeth and a bloodied stump of spine, all that was left of what had been his head” — and that’s partly because he’s the pulpy alter-ego of Irish novelist John Banville. Known for his layered, intelligent writing, the Man Booker Prize-winning author sets aside literary ambitions and dons a black fedora when he becomes Benjamin Black, detective novelist.

“A Death in Summer,” Black’s fourth book featuring pathologist Garret Quirke, is a swift, hopscotching murder mystery set in postwar Ireland.

Quirke is called in on the Jewell case by Detective Inspector Hackett, and he can’t help but get involved. He and Hackett believe Jewell’s death was not a suicide, and they spend much of the book working together.

They’re similar and different; both are middle-aged, but Hackett is plump and rumpled,

Chester Higgins Jr. / New York Times News Service

David Lender is a 25-year finance veteran who has written “Bull Street,” a novel of insider trading, gunplay and chase scenes.

All three thrillers carry standard disclaimers about the fictionalization of the events they describe. But finance-minded readers looking for real-life analogues will find plenty of roman a clef details for the gossip mill. “The Fund” traces a near replica of the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, complete with a Treasury secretary who badgers bank executives into carrying out “shotgun weddings for failing institutions.” In “Bull Street,” federal agents threaten to investigate Richard Blum’s father’s insurance business, an echo of the strategies used in the investigations of Michael Milken, the junk-bond mogul who pleaded guilty to securities fraud in 1990, and his brother, Lowell.

The traits of Steven A. Cohen, the founder of the hedge fund giant SAC Capital, seem to be especially well suited to fiction.

In “The Fund,” a money manager is described as the owner of a Damian Hirst-designed airplane called “Gold Shark Swimming in Air.” It’s a hammer-over-head reference to an actual shark-themed Hirst piece, “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living,” which is owned

by Cohen. Cy Leeser, the crooked hedge fund manager in “The Gods of Greenwich,” is described as an avid art collector who keeps his trading floor cooled to 66 degrees, reminiscent of SAC Capital’s 69degree trading floor. An SAC spokesman declined to comment.

Vonnegut, a former private wealth manager for Morgan Stanley, contends that his experience managing money for the superrich was a “soap opera” that gave him “enough material to last 50 years.” Lender said that he had consciously based his novel’s insider-trading plot on the reallife travails of Milken and Ivan Boesky, the central figures in the 1980s insider trading ring.

“I was cutting my teeth on the Street when those scandals happened,” Lender said. “What happened in that era very heavily influenced what I wrote about.”

Most of the wealth-gawking details in these books are spot on, with only a few missteps. (Memo to Vonnegut: Not even the most zealous real estate broker calls the Meatpacking District “MePa.”) But they also lend the books an air of predictability, as the smoothest operators almost always meet ignoble ends. A pair of Ferragamo loafers, in particular, seems to be the Chekhov’s gun of financial thrillers — wear those in Chapter 1, and you’re doing 20 to life by the epilogue.

It’s true that setting a novel in a world of extravagance and glitz lowers the bar for pathos consid-

erably. These are novels in which a sentence like “Cusack parked his beat-up BMW next to a glacierwhite Bentley convertible” qualifies as Dickensian suffering.

But there is real harm done here, especially of the financial variety.

Banks go under. Oil breaks $115 a barrel. And the Chinese government is called in to save the U.S. from economic implosion.

In fact, the true suspense in these books often ends up being the threat of macroeconomic disaster rather than greed, betrayal and espionage.

“ A Death in Summer”

by Benjamin Black (Henry Holt, 309 pgs., $25)

while Quirke is tall and dissolutely handsome. In one of Black’s previous novels, Quirke went to rehab, but here he starts drinking again; it’s as if the genre demands that he lift a glass.

Black slides between the pair’s points of view, jagging the story first one way and then another.

Sometimes we know less than the investigator, sometimes more.

The primary suspects in Jewell’s murder, if that’s what it is, include his beautiful French widow, Francoise, the thuggish horse trainer who discovered his body and a business rival who has adopted the trappings of an American cowboy.

The story branches out into the lives of adjacent characters: lovers and exes, household help, the rival’s abrasive son and Jewell’s half-sister.

Set about 10 years after the end of World War II, Dublin comes alive with specific details: humping traffic jams, municipal employees and dangerous alleys, garden walks, wealthy country estates and entrenched racism.

Jewell was Jewish, and while he was completely uninterested in religion there is some question as to whether it played a role in his death.

‘A DANCE WITH DRAGONS’

Fantastic tale defies genre conventions “A Dance With Dragons”

by George R.R. Martin (Bantam Books, 1,016 pgs., $35)

By Dana Jennings New York Times News Service

With the arrival of “A Dance With Dragons,” Book 5 in George R.R. Martin’s rousing “Song of Ice and Fire” cycle, it’s high time we drove a stake through the heart of J.R.R. Tolkien and “The Lord of the Rings.” Like its predecessors, Book 5 has its share of flagons ’n’ dragons, and swords ’n’ sorcerers, but that doesn’t make Martin the A merican Tolkien, as some would have it. He’s much better than that.

The series, which started with “A Game of Thrones” in 1996, is like a sprawling and panoramic 19th-century novel turned out in fantasy motley, more Balzac and Dickens than Tolkien. Martin writes fantasy for grown-ups, with a blunt and bawdy earthiness that befits the son of a Bayonne, N.J., longshoreman. His on-the-page persona is that of a pint-and-a-shot guy who just happens to know a hell of a lot about the care and feeding of dragons. Anyone who has followed his work on HBO, where the first season of “Game of Thrones” recently ended, knows that, too.

The TV series, which has been renewed for a second season, swelled Martin’s audience far beyond fantasy fans and whetted a larger-than-usual appetite for the fifth book in the cycle. Some 650,000 copies have already been printed.

Winter is still coming in “A Dance With Dragons,” as promised in “Thrones,” and the fates of the mythical continent of Westeros and its Seven Kingdoms are still up for grabs, as are the lives of dozens and dozens of heroes and anti-heroes (and those wavering in between, waiting to turn their cloaks whichever way the winds of victory may blow).

The elements of fantasy exist here but are deftly muted, as Martin defies genre conventions. He’s often more intrigued by the friction among conflicting religions, by the Kremlinology of Westeros, in the “plots, ploys, whispers, lies, secrets within secrets” that make of up “the game of thrones.” All the while his medieval realms ring with echoes of our own time, of our modern terrorscapes that rage with liars, spies and true believers.

Characters return Most important for fans, “A Dance With Dragons” catches up with some of Martin’s most popular characters, including Daenerys Targaryen, queen of the city of Meereen and “mother” of three dragons; Jon Snow, 998th lord commander of the Night’s Watch; Arya Stark, 11-year-old daughter of the late Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell; and the disgraced Queen Cersei of House Lannister.

Best of all, “Dragons” puts us back in the company of Tyrion Lannister, a bitter but brilliant dwarf whose humor, swagger and utter humanity make him the (often drunken) star of the series.

When Tyrion is present, “Song of Ice and Fire” becomes “A Rogue’s Progress, or the Further Ribald Adventures of Tyrion Lannister.”

Martin is a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers. And Tyrion is his grandest creation. A kin slayer and fugitive, Tyrion assumes manifold roles in “Dragons”: mummer, soldier, paymaster, slave, river rat and captive. He’s in on the cosmic joke of being a “high-born dwarf” and is quick to give practical Westeros wisdom: “Trust no one.

And keep your dragon close.”

He also notes that “a small man with a big shield will drive the archers mad.”

Such savvy observations keep Martin’s readers rapt and separate “A Song of Ice and Fire” from other genre series.

Readers frantic for Martin to tie up at least a few loose ends in his many-tentacled plot will be disappointed, although some characters’ destinies are clarified. Daenerys’

A shot in the arm for bookstore sales Amid the growth of the e-book business and online retailers like Amazon, sales of print books in brick-andmortar stores have been suffering all year.

Not this week.

Beginning Tuesday, bookstores had a summer savior in the fantasy author George R.R. Martin, whose new book, “A Dance With Dragons,” the fifth installment of his “Song of Ice and Fire” series, went on sale that day.

Independent booksellers across the country said it quickly emerged as their biggest book of the summer, selling rapidly despite its doorstopper appearance (1,016 pages) and hefty price ($35 undiscounted).

It also temporarily upended the conventional wisdom in the book business that devoted readers of genre fiction — whether romance, sci-fi or fantasy — have begun to prefer reading in e-book format over print.

According to first-day sales collected by Random House, more than 170,000 print copies and 110,000 ebook copies sold Tuesday.

“What’s been really interesting is the physical-digital split,” said Scott Shannon, the publisher of digital content for the Random House Publishing Group. “These days, for a lot of our big titles, digital is outselling physical.

That’s not what we’re seeing here, and it really speaks to George’s fan base.”

Eager customers waited outside bookstores before the doors opened Tuesday at the Tattered Cover in Denver and Book Culture and Greenlight Bookstore in New York. An event at Barnes & Noble in Burlington, Mass., on Tuesday was attended by 1,600 people.

— New York Times News Service dragons are growing as is, ultimately, her bond with them. Cersei learns that true humility and contrition don’t come easy. And Tyrion forges on, an unlikely player in the future of Westeros. Even so, “A Dance With Dragons,” for its bounty of adventure, is more about Martin marshaling his forces in anticipation of the cycle’s final two books.

Still, there’s bliss to be found in the word-drunk naming of places — the Frostfangs, Sea Dragon Point, Rook’s Rest — and people: Homeless Harry Strickland and Bloodbeard, Cotter Pyke and Three-Finger Hobb, Wick Whittlestick and Pinchface Jon Myre. And his Bayonne-bred sense of humor also sets Martin apart. Even amid the blood, the guts and the mead, Tyrion notes that his preferred weapons include “an ax, a dagger, a choice remark.” Or as Asha Greyjoy, female captain of the ship Black Wind, observes: “Some men had faces that cried out for a beard.

Ser Clayton’s face cried out for an axe between the eyes.”

The biggest headache with “A Dance With Dragons” is that it’s just a 1,016-page installment in a mammoth novel that so far totals 1,742,848 words. In a work this size it’s the reader who must embark on a harrowing quest, and a summary up front would be useful.

For all that, “A Dance With Dragons” meets the high standards set by its four siblings. And like all proper serials it gives the reader no emotional respite, ending with several razor-sharp question marks as the heavy wheels of fate groan into motion, and the murders and assassinations mount.

As “Dragons” cascades toward its finish, the reader is whipsawed by cliffhanger after cliffhanger, while being all too aware that Martin’s next installment won’t be coming out next week, or even next year for that matter. But as I write, I know that I’ll be happy to cling to the hard and scaly back of this particular dancing dragon as I wait for Book 6, “The Winds of Winter.”

So, yes, winter is still coming.

Tolkien is dead. And long live George Martin.

Get your bling: A British class war rages “Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class”

by Owen Jones (Verso, 298 pgs., $23.95)

By Dwight Garner New York Times News Service

Owen Jones’ first book, “Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class,” begins more like a Noel Coward play or a late-model Ian McEwan novel than like a rumbling social polemic. That is, it opens with a misfired witticism uttered at an elite East London dinner party.

Here’s how Jones sets the scene. “Sitting around the table were people from more than one ethnic group. The gender split was 50-50, and not everyone was straight. All would have placed themselves somewhere left of center politically.”

Each guest “would have bristled at being labeled a snob.”

Disaster arrived, as it always seems to, with the black currant cheesecake. That’s when the talk turned to the economic crisis. One of the party’s hosts joked: “It’s sad that Woolworth’s is closing. Where will all the chavs buy their Christmas presents?” The other guests tittered.

Jones stewed.

The word chav, if your subscriptions to British periodicals have lapsed, is a noun that essentially means “ugly prole”: loutish, tacky, probably drunken and possibly violent. The stereotypical chav is a hormonal 20-something lad in an Adidas tracksuit, sideways Burberry baseball cap and bling, but women can be chavs, too.

Think of Snooki with a cockney accent.

What angered Jones about the dinner party comment, he explains, is that the joke could easily have been rephrased thus: “It’s sad that Woolworth’s is closing. Where will the ghastly lower classes buy their Christmas presents?” This got him thinking. “How has hatred of working-class people become so socially acceptable?” he asks.

He writes, “It seems as though working-class people are the one group in society that you can say practically anything about.” Here he ignores fat people, but the two groups in the public mind often overlap.

How this came to pass in Britain, which has long revered its stalwart working class, is Jones’ primordial subject in

“Chavs.” The book poses this principled question: How did the salt of the earth come to be viewed as the scum of the Earth?

In pursuit of answers, “Chavs” covers a lot of ground.

It’s a history of the British class system, a longform indictment of Margaret Thatcher’s social and economic policies and a rowdy broadside against London’s elite media and political circles. Its combination of wit and outrage, at least in the early chapters, is intoxicating.

Jones is very young (he’s 26) and hideously talented. Reading “Chavs,” I often cursed aloud as if I’d banged my thumb with a mallet, which is how I express keen literary pleasure until I can arrive at something more coherent to say.

Jones spies a London exercise class called “Chav Fighting” and contemplates “sweating City bankers taking out their recession-induced frustrations on semi-bestial poor kids.”

He zings Britain’s rock music for going squishy, offering up bland, middle-class bands like Keane and Coldplay. He wonders how working men, in the public imagination, have been reduced to “knuckle-dragging thugs.”

Writing about a tabloid crime that seemed to indict England’s lower classes, Jones declares, “The episode was like a flare, momentarily lighting up a world of class and prejudice in modern Britain.”

Many flares are sent up in “Chavs.” Jones is fearless. Part of his argument is that members of Britain’s news media and political worlds are increasingly the product of wealth and privilege, planets removed from the concerns of working-class people. In making this argument he doesn’t merely throw shadow punches; he names names.

You will likely need to deal with the landlord.

Almost all commercial leases give the landlord the right to accept or reject a new tenant. If you have such a lease and you do not obtain the landlord’s prior written approval to assign or sublease the business premises to a new person, you will be in default of the lease and subject to potential liability. Even if the landlord is willing to consent, you are not relieved from further liability on the lease unless the consent form expressly includes such a release.

It is common belief that you should keep your will in a safe deposit box at a bank. Although this is likely the safest, it can create an issue after your death. Unless your heirs are listed as an owner of the box with you, they may not have access to the box after your death. There is a statutory procedure for a bank to open a box after to look for estate planning documents, but it usually requires a death certificate, which may take a week or more to obtain. So, I generally recommend you keep your estate planning documents at home and in a location where your family can find them if you die.

social injustice inherent in our society would require government action,” he writes. “Claiming that people are largely responsible for their circumstances facilitates the opposite conclusion.”

The Labour Party under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown was nearly as alienated from the working class, Jones argues. He quotes a Guardian newspaper editor who describes the New Labour leaders’ view of their electoral base: “They didn’t really like these people very much. They thought they didn’t have the right sort of raspberry-wine vinegar to put on their radicchio, and so on.”

The front half of “Chavs” is vastly superior to its back half.

Jones makes his best case, and dumps his prickliest facts, early on. The rest of the book is mealy, padded with interviews and flat-footed elaboration, some of it vital, much of it not. He can be lachrymose. Jones goes to visit a depressed working-class neighborhood and returns with a pocketful of soppy cliches. (“There’s a real community spirit in the air.”)

This book could have been a rippling, rock-hard classic at 150 pages — the book you’d see peeking out of every college student’s back pocket and rucksack during the summer of 2011.

At nearly twice that length, it is still something to behold, a work of passion, sympathy and moral grace.

to people like us.” Jones picks up that phrase, “people like us,” like a boy who’s found an abandoned slingshot, and runs rather far with it.

He points out that the British prime minister, David Cameron, had such a pampered upbringing that “at the precocious age of 11 he traveled by Concorde to the U.S. with four classmates to celebrate the birthday of Peter Getty, the grandson of oil billionaire John Paul Getty.”

Jones’ book is a work of economics tucked inside what appears to be a volume of pop sociology. The meat of “Chavs” is an attack on Thatcher’s policies as prime minister: her administration’s destruction of unions, its raising of the tax burden on the poor, its allowing if not encouraging industry to fall into ruin.

More recently, unemployment and the rise in casual and temporary labor — at supermarkets or call centers — have fed a sense of desperation.

The author notes how demonizing the lower classes makes it easier to make policy against them.

‘Buried Secrets’ offers all the elements of best spy novels

‘BRIGHT’S PASSAGE’

A heartfelt song of hardship and hope

hard to figure.

Whether this is a case of magical realism or mental breakdown isn’t important; the angel’s presence is real to Bright. The angel has embodied itself close to him, and he obeys its dictates — even though they’re coming from his broken-down horse.

After burying his wife, the angel tells him to set his own cabin

on fire. “’We can leave, angel, but I ain’t gonna burn it down!’ he yelled. ‘It’s all I got left!’ On the stump behind him, the baby began to cry. Bright whirled around, shielding his own tears from the horse’s view. … ‘Henry Bright,’ the angel said, finally breaking the silence, ‘do as I say.’” Bright sets the fire and after he departs, it begins to spread to the forest behind him, growing into a fullfledged wildfire heading toward the same town he is.

The story unfolds on two tracks: The first is Bright coming out of the mountain, and the second is his past, both childhood and in the war. In the present moment, Bright is pursued by the fire, firstly, but by something else even more dangerous: an old man called the Colonel. Aided by his two nasty sons, the Colonel is set on avenging the loss of his daughter, Rachel — the wife Bright has just buried.

The relationship between Bright and the Colonel’s family is revealed as the story unspools; it is frightening and dark, a contrast to his caring mother and the sim-

ple life she built for them. Ritter, who was born in Idaho and now lives in New York when not touring, evokes the texture of Bright’s world with unhurried attention.

The hazards Bright faces are offset by the tragic absurdities he’s already lived through. His wartime service in France begins in the trenches, where men climbed up over the edge only to die, to patrols to grave duty, where he is burying his colleagues by the dozens. So many soldiers die around him that Bright’s survival is all but a miracle. Or it’s the work of the angel, as it reminds him.

Ritter has said that Henry Bright’s story started out as a song but it wanted to be more. He’s right, there’s too much here for a ballad: It expands as it moves forward, complicating relationships, deepening our concern for Bright and blurring the lines between good and bad. And just like fellow musician John Wesley Harding who, as Wesley Stace, published a novel himself this year, Ritter knows how to build a rich, beautiful story with shape: “Bright’s Passage” has a powerful end.

Unscrupulous employers exist, Regelbrugge said, but more often he sees business owners who are just trying to follow the law. When a new hire produces seemingly legitimate forms of documentation required by the I-9 form, the employer must accept them. (To refuse could expose the owner to charges of employment discrimination.) “The employer is not required to be a forensics expert,” said Monte Lake, an immigration lawyer in Washington.

The upshot of the more aggressive enforcement is that even employers who have followed the rules can be devastated by an audit that compels them to fire valuable, longtime employees.

The I-9 audit of Cox’s nursery revealed that 26 of his 99 employees were not authorized to work in the United States. Because ICE determined he had acted reasonably in hiring them, Cox was not fined or held criminally liable. But after confirming

that the 26 employees could not produce authentic documents, he was forced to fire them. All had been with him for five to 10 years, and he lost half of his budding crew, a highly specialized team that grafts trees. “Telling them was probably the worst day of my life,” he said. “I don’t just sit at a desk here. I’m actually out in the field harvesting with them.”

Cox said he was lucky the audit hit midrecession, after he had already reduced his workforce and inventory. Still, he estimates that his 2009 expenses climbed 10 percent as a result of the terminations. And, despite California’s high unemployment rate, finding replacement employees has proved challenging. “I’ve gone through more workers this year than I have in the past 10 years combined,” Cox said.

While most such workers earn the $8-an-hour minimum wage in California, Cox said he generally paid $8.90 an hour for a

50-hour week. The terminated crew workers made $10 an hour.

Compensation includes statemandated overtime of time and a half, health insurance and two weeks’ paid vacation.

“If I raised the wage,” he said, “I’d have to shut my doors.”

Meanwhile, after an audit, ICE does not round up the affected workers for deportation. That meant Cox’s former workers were free to seek employment elsewhere — including with his competitors. Cox said that he knew through his remaining workers that the terminated employees were all working in the area.

After the audit, Cox started using E-Verify, a federal program that lets employers confirm the authenticity of a job applicant’s Social Security and green card numbers electronically. Although the program’s use is mandatory in some states, its reliability has been debated, and it remains voluntary in California.

“Bright’s Passage”

by Josh Ritter (Dial Press, 208 pgs., $22)

By Carolyn Kellogg Los Angeles Times

Henry Bright endures. His mother raised him in a tiny cabin in West Virginia, eking out a marginal survival; when she died, he was left to bury her.

He must do the same for his wife, who dies in childbirth, even as he’s mourning her and trying to care for their newborn son. These are just a few of the hardships the 20-year-old Bright has faced: He’s not long back from the Great War, as he would call World War I, where he was a foot soldier engaged in lethal trench warfare.

It’s no wonder his world has cracked open to make room for an angel.

The debut novel from musician Josh Ritter, a folky singer-songwriter who’s been known to sing of angels, is intensely beautiful, tragic and also funny. Bright argues with the angel as if it were his own conscience, or a parent or a protector whose motives are

Audits Continued from F1 In addition, the Social Security Administration has resumed sending “no-match” letters after a three-year hiatus. The letters, which alert employers that information on an employee’s W-2 form does not match information on file with the Social Security Administration, had been halted in 2007. The main purpose is ostensibly to ensure that employee Social Security accounts are credited properly, but the letters can also be used by ICE to show that an employer had reason to believe an employee might not have documentation.

“The master narrative of immigration reform is being crafted around the notion of unscrupulous employers seeking cheap labor,” said Craig Regelbrugge, a lawyer and lobbyist with the American Nursery and Landscape Association.

“Buried Secrets”

by Joseph Finder (St. Martin’s Press, 400 pgs., $25.99)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel

A major reason that the spy novel has not just endured but thrives is the unique spin that some authors bring to this subgenre.

Boston-based author Joseph Finder has found his niche with Nick Heller, making his second appearance in the adrenalinespiked “Buried Secrets.” Nick is a worthy hero who would fit well into any conventional spy novel. But in Finder’s series, Nick uses his Special Services training for corporate intelligence, traveling the world to solve crimes that companies want kept quiet.

All the elements of the best spy novels complement “Buried Secrets” conspiracies, mad villains and global intrigue.

In “Buried Secrets,” Nick’s job is closer to home, personally and geographically.

A bill in Congress that would require all American employers to use the program could go to a vote this month.

While the human side of the issue is compelling, employers must comply with the law, said Lake, the immigration lawyer.

There is no way to avoid an ICE audit, but establishing and maintaining the right procedures can help you survive one. Lake recommends that employers review their practices and seek professional assistance if they are not knowledgeable about legal requirements. Sloppy record-keeping can lead to fines for technical violations.

If a review reveals incomplete I-9 forms, employers should fill in the missing information and initial it with the date and time it was added. Lake advises random checks to ensure that employees are completing the forms. Be sure to retain I-9 forms for the legally required period of time — the longer of

Marshall Marcus “the richest guy in Boston” wants to hire Nick to find his teenage daughter, Alexa, who has been kidnapped.

Nick can hardly refuse Marshall, who stuck by Nick’s family when his father was sent to prison for securities fraud.

And Nick has known Alexa since she was a baby.

Nick wants to help, but his investigation meets roadblocks. The FBI is looking at Marshall for financial crimes.

Marshall refuses to tell the police about the kidnapping and he keeps lying to Nick. In the past year, Marshall has been increasingly concerned about his personal security and may have powerful enemies.

As Nick tries to find her, Alexa’s confinement underground is being streamed live over the Internet.

“Buried Secrets” moves at a brisk pace as Finder adds layers of conspiracies to his plot.

As usual, Finder knows how to measure out the action for the ultimate impact.

three years or one year after the employee leaves the company.

Business owners should understand their obligations upon receiving a no-match letter. Lake advises employers who receive these letters to meet one-on-one with the designated worker to ensure that a clerical error did not cause the confusion, confirming that names are spelled correctly and no numbers have been transposed.

Assuming there is no mistake, Lake said the owner must instruct the worker to pursue the issue with the Social Security Administration and report back within a “reasonable time.”

Document your actions and treat all workers the same, Lake said. If an employee reports that everything is fine, and you get another no-match letter the next year, you know it is not fine. After that, Lake said, there is no good answer if ICE conducts an audit and asks, “Why didn’t you take action the second time?”

Google+ one-ups Facebook this time

By David Pogue New York Times News Service

Google, the most popular website on Earth, is worried about the second-most popular site. That, of course, would be Facebook.

Why else would Google keep trying, over and over again, to create a social network of the same type? Orkut, Jaiku, Wave, Buzz — Google has lobbed forth one fizzled flop after another.

And now there’s Google+. It’s the latest Google “we wanna be Facebook” project. The difference is, this one’s got a real shot.

Instead of throwing open its doors with a big splash, as it did with the hopelessly confusing Wave and the privacy-challenged Buzz, Google is letting Google+ seep into the world virally. You can’t yet just go sign up; you have to be invited by someone who’s already a member.

Even so, Google+ already has millions of members. That’s not quite 750 million (Facebook’s current tally), but watch out for the network effect.

to a dusty lot where another construction worker was preparing the ground for a new home.

Despite the continuing rough housing market, the mixed-used development — with an office, restaurant and retail center surrounded by about 600 homes — has outpaced any other development for building permits during the last 2½ years, city building permit applications show.

Local builders have sought an increased number of single-family home building permits each year since 2007, according to city records, applying for at least three times as many as builders in other devel-

opments in 2009, 2010 and so far this year.

Permit requests for single-family homes more than doubled from 23 in 2007 to 62 last year. For the first six months of this year, 48 permit applications have been filed. The next closest number of permit applications is 13 for the Renaissance at Shevlin Park, just north of NorthWest Crossing, on Shevlin Park Road.

Whether existing homes in NorthWest Crossing have held their value better than others around Bend is unclear.

Speaking in Morse code 1 night each year, airwaves buzz with pre-Internet communication

A message to be converted to Morse code.

By Jesse McKinley New York Times News Service

POINT REYES NATIONAL SEASHORE, Calif. — It has been a little more than a decade since the last of the nation’s commercial Morse code radio stations officially went off the air, as new technology sank a system that had been a lingua franca of maritime communication since before the Titanic.

But like transmissions that continue to travel through the cosmos long after their original senders are gone, there are some things that refuse to die. Last week, several outposts of Morse code blazed to life again, if only for a night, with the help of a group of enthusiasts bent on preserving what they call “the music of Morse,” one key tap at a time.

The occasion was an annual radio reboot known as the Night of Nights, held every year on the anniversary of the last Morse code broadcast from a coastal California station in 1999, which included a traditional sign-off (“We wish you fair winds and following seas”) and more than a few tearyeyed former radio operators.

Though, some of those old key men were back on the job July 12, broadcasting from the former headquarters of a marine Morse station

NEW YORK — America’s cities are beginning to grapple with a fact of life: People are getting old, fast, and they’re doing it in communities designed for the sprightly.

To envision how this silver tsunami will challenge a youthoriented society, just consider that seniors soon will outnumber schoolchildren in hip, fast-paced New York City.

It will take some creative steps to make New York and other cities age-friendly enough to help the coming crush of older adults stay active and independent in their own homes.

“It’s about changing the way we think about the way we’re growing old in our community,” said New York Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs. “The phrase ‘end of life’ does not apply anymore.”

With initiatives such as using otherwise idle school buses to take seniors grocery shopping, the World Health Organization recognizes New York as a leader in this movement.

But it’s not alone.

Atlanta is creating what it calls “lifelong communities.”

Philadelphia is testing whether living in a truly walkable community really makes older adults healthier. In Portland, there’s a push to fit senior concerns such as accessible housing into the city’s new planning and zoning policies.

The stores also try to keep aisles free of tripping hazards and use larger type so signs are easier to read.

More than 200 times, school buses have taken older adults from senior centers to supermarkets in different neighborhoods.

It’s just one of a variety of initiatives begun in 2009 by the New York Academy of Medicine and the city’s government to address the needs of older residents. Already, they’re showing results.

A city report found the number of crashes has dropped at busy intersections in senior-heavy communities where traffic signals now allow pedestrians a few more seconds to cross the street.

Benches have been placed in nearly 2,700 bus shelters to give waiting seniors a place to rest.

The city’s aging taxi fleet is scheduled to be replaced by a boxier model designed to be easier for older riders and people with disabilities to open the doors and slide in and out.

On the Upper West Side, seniors snapped up a report card

The Atlanta Regional Commission’s Lifelong Communities Initiative is pushing communities that help people age in place. Efforts are under way in six metro areas, including work to adapt zoning codes to allow more of a walkable mix of housing and retail. The Mableton community of suburban Cobb County is planning that kind of a town square, and has opened a farmers market — on a weekday morning when seniors preferred to shop — and intergenerational community garden. To the east, DeKalb County is building a library near a senior center, planned senior housing and a bus stop. One town pilottested a shuttle for seniors to supplement bare-bones public transit.

The Atlanta Housing Authority is working with the commission to retrofit highrise apartments that house a lot of older residents, with the goal to improve access to the surrounding community.

At one site under construction, changes include a ramp entrance, safer sidewalk to the bus stop and more time for pedestrians to cross the street.

as ramp entrances, wide hallways and at least a halfbathroom on the main floor, she said.

With funding from the National Institutes of Health, the aging group’s Allen Glicksman is studying if seniors who live in a walkable neighborhood really are healthier as a result.

He has found that social capital — think friendly neighbors, low crime and good sidewalks that encourage getting out — is as important to older residents as access to supermarkets, public transportation and good housing.

Also, there are calls for age-friendlier parks, with safer steps and places to walk apart from bikers.

To sustain momentum, Clark created GenPhilly, a network of 20- and 30-somethings interested in shaping the city they’ll age in by raising senior issues in varying professions.

but how well they live them.

Cities and suburbs were designed for younger people, full of stairs and cars, he explained.

As they become increasingly difficult to navigate, older people gradually retreat.

Revamping a lot of infrastructure may not happen in a tough economy. But some communities are building agefriendly changes into planned upgrades or maintenance, such as New York’s street crossings, or into requirements for future development.

The WHO’s Beard said some changes aren’t that costly, noting that seniors around the world say more benches and access to bathrooms will help them get out and about.

That’s in addition to the oldestold, the 85- to 90-somethings whose numbers have grown by nearly one-third in the past decade, with no signs of slowing.

By 2050, 1 in 5 Americans will be seniors. Worldwide, almost 2 billion people will be 60 or older, 400 million of them over 80.

That’s almost always viewed as a health issue, preparing for the coming wave of Alzheimer’s, or as a political liability, meaning how soon will Social Security go bust?

Morse Continued from G1 Or buzzing, as it were, as more than a dozen volunteers assembled at KPH’s receiving and transmitting stations, two dusty, but rock-solid structures that are now part of the Point Reyes National Seashore, northwest of San Francisco.

Closed in 1997, the station’s receiving headquarters is like a living time capsule, stuffed with communications relics, including Teletype machines, manual typewriters and rotary phones — and, of course, all manner of telegraphy keys, ranging from the versions like those used in Samuel Morse’s time to shiny new models favored by some modern-day ham operators. A dusty calendar from 1997 still hangs on the wall, as does a copy of the famous distress call from the Titanic.

Many of the station’s ancient machines were ablaze Tuesday, spitting out clicks, whistles, white noise and — of course — dots and dashes. (Or “dits” and “dahs” as they were often known in the business.)

And at just past midnight

Building Continued from G1 Figures from The Garner Group, the listing agent for community developer West Bend Property Co., show an average home sales price so far this year that’s about $38,200 higher than the average in 2010.

But last week, the Central Oregon Multiple Listing Service showed three NorthWest Crossing homes with asking prices 15-35 percent lower than the amounts for which they previously sold.

Citywide, the average sales price for the second quarter fell nearly 6 percent year over year, according to the Central Oregon Association of Realtors.

NorthWest Crossing has ridden the downturn and weathered the 18-month recession that officially ended in 2009, through smart planning early on and key decisions made as the housing market began to plummet in 2007, said David Ford, general manager of the development.

The community’s design is a main reason for the continued interest in the development. NorthWest Crossing features both single-family and town-home styles with strong architectural elements. There are restaurants and offices within walking distance.

Manufacturing businesses fill out the mixed-use plan. Businesses also started locating in the area, including Ruff Wear, Two Old Hippies/Breedlove Guitars and the American Licorice Co. The houses and retail spaces are interconnected by skinny streets, sidewalks and trails. Alleyways place cars behind houses making front porches the prominent feature instead of garages.

The houses feature Craftsman bungalow and midcentury modern designs. There are Prairiestyle houses that mimic Frank Lloyd Wright designs. Instead of using one or two builders, the developers opened up the development to a “guild” of about 25 builders. Virtually every home looks different from its neighbors.

In fact, NorthWest Crossing

Richard Dillman, the president of the nonprofit Maritime Radio Historical Society, taps out the first Morse code message for the Night of Nights event.

Greenwich Mean Time, the first message, tapped out at breakneck speed by Dillman, was beamed into the air.

“On this date in 1999 the death of commercial Morse was announced,” it read. “But Morse still lives.”

The KPH property — an Art Deco cube built between 1929 and 1931 by the Radio Corporation of America — was acquired by the National Park Service in 1999. Shortly after that, Dillman made a remarkable discovery while visiting the station’s

has no model homes. Instead, the builders choose from five architectural styles with corresponding design guidelines.

“We really wanted it to be very diverse,” Ford said, “because we wanted it to appear like a natural extension of Bend’s west side.”

Diversity in economics is also important, with some homes being offered through Housing Works. Purchasers own their homes, but lease the land for a small monthly payment. This reduces the sales price.

Location also helps. It sits at the edge of the Deschutes National Forest and less than a mile from Phil’s Trail, one of the region’s best known mountain biking routes.

Schools fill out the mixed-use plan. Within NorthWest Crossing’s boundaries are High Lakes Elementary School and Summit High School, which draws students from west of Third Street and U.S. highways 97 and 20.

All of this planning — including decisions to leave old tall pines, junipers, and an abundance of sagebrush in park and riparian areas — led the development to be named one of 48 finalists for the Urban Land Institute’s Awards for Excellence and featured in the organization’s annual publication “Best Practices in Development: Award-Winning Projects of 2009.”

The brains behind it all The brains behind all this planning are two developers who had already built several of Bend’s signature communities.

Mike Hollern, CEO of Brooks Resources, developed Black Butte Ranch, Awbrey Butte, Mount Bachelor Village and others. Mike Tennant, owner of Tennant Developments, built West Bend Village, The Homes of Shevlin RiverFront and Miller Heights.

The two formed West Bend

headquarters.

“As I got close to operators’ room, I started hearing static and hearing Morse code and ships calling,” Dillman said. “It was like they had left 20 minutes ago. The voice was gone, but the ears were still on.”

Indeed, KPH had been shuttered, but not completely shut down. Jack Martini, a former manager at the station, said he had left the receivers on as both a sign of affection and — he hoped — of possible preservation.

“I loved the place,” said Mar-

tini, 72, who had spent more than three decades at KPH. “And it saved the receivers. You turn off the receivers, you get the moisture in there, and they’re done.”

And so it was that KPH was eventually re-born as KSM and began broadcasting in Morse a few hours each Saturday, a development that attracted the attention of other aficionados.

“We’re doing the radio equivalent of Civil War re-enactments,” said Bill Ruck, one participant in Night of Nights.

Another of those drawn in

was Dave Wolfe, 62, a longtime enthusiast who had served as a radio operator in the 1960s and early ’70s, at sea and on land.

“We had eight people in there, almost on roller skates,” Wolfe recalled. “You got paid, and reasonably well, for doing what was basically a hobby.”

Not that it was easy work. Operators during Morse’s heyday worked grueling shifts, staffing stations 24 hours a day as ships sent messages to shore and vice versa. Experts in the form said the secret was to never count the

Property Co. in 1998 and bought the original 483 acres that would become NorthWest Crossing.

More than a year before submitting plans to the city of Bend, Hollern and Tennant took their proposal to residents.

“It was kind of a big experiment,” Ford said.

When Hollern and Tennant submitted the proposal in 2000, Bend’s municipal code did not even allow a mixed-use community, Ford said. But city planners supported what one of them in 2001 called “one of the largest, most complex projects the city has reviewed,” according to Bend City Council meeting minutes.

Crews built the first home in 2002, just as Bend home values began the climb. Median-home prices would peak at $396,000 in May 2007, according to the Bratton Appraisal Group.

Home building continued to soar in 2007 with builders applying for more than 700 permits for single-family homes. At least 20 subdivisions recorded 10 or more permits each.

City records show five subdivisions sought more than 25 singlefamily home building permits each. Two developments, Gardenside, in southeast Bend, and Parkway Village, in northeast Bend, accounted for 40 applications each.

NorthWest Crossing sought 23 single-family home permits in 2007.

“It was sell a lot, build a home,” Ford said. “A lot of them would be sold before (construction was) even started.”

But by mid-2007 the market began to change dramatically and by December, the median single-family home price in Bend had dropped nearly $100,000.

Despite all the strengths of NorthWest Crossing, West Bend Property board members realized they needed to cut lot prices in the development, Ford said, but not for a six-month or oneyear outlook.

“We needed to go to where we think the market will end up or bottom out,” he said.

The company took the drastic measure of slashing its price for lots by more than half. In 2006, lots on average sold for about

$195,000, he said. The company cut those to $80,000 to $90,000 on average, Ford said. Lots continue to list at prices between $75,000 and $127,000, according to the multiple listing service.

“By establishing the bottom sooner rather than later, we were able to calm the market in NorthWest Crossing,” Ford said. “It allowed our builders to be able to buy a lot, build a home and sell it.”

They also changed the development plan, getting permission from the city to reconfigure the phases for building and to sell smaller lots.

“That allowed us to respond to the demand of the market by developing smaller phases,” Ford said, and to bring on smaller lots, which were easier to sell.

Those quick shifts were helped by the fact that Bend residents and would-be buyers had begun to understand just what the developers meant by the mixed-use concept, Ford said. Had NorthWest Crossing launched later, it might not have reached a critical

mass of development by 2007.

Still, the economy virtually came to a halt at the end of 2008 and through much of 2009. In December 2008, the city received just 12 applications to build single-family homes. A month later, it fell to just a half dozen.

But building continued in NorthWest Crossing, which applied for 29 permits in 2008 and 34 in 2009. And a number of those were for spec homes.

Greg Welch, owner of Greg Welch Construction, took four lots when they offered them to a group of builders. “They about fell out of their seats,” he said.

West Bend’s price cut made it possible, he said. But Welch also studied the market, learning that buyers wanted to downsize. They wanted smaller homes, around 1,600-1,700 square feet, but still built with quality materials, he said.

Welch redeveloped his floor plans. But with bank financing unavailable, he had to get private financing, although he declined

dots and dashes, but to listen.

“You had to think of it as a rhythm,” Martini said. “You had to kind of be a musician.”

Sure enough, the symphony of dits and dahs continued for hours at the receiving station, as amateur Morse operators from around the world chimed in to say hello. At the transmitting station, meanwhile, another crew staffed banks of refurbished and rescued devices, some dating to World War II and complete with glowing mercury vapor tubes.

“You’re running antiques,” said Steve Hawes, who staffed the control room. “But we haven’t had anything let off a giant bang or blow up in smoke yet.”

But as the night wore on, the one thing that was not heard was any commercial traffic, though Dillman said that occasionally a ship would still call in during the station’s Saturday hours, wondering how the station was still alive.

But even if the ships did not call, he said, the die-hards at Point Reyes would continue to listen.

“Even if there were no ships out there, we’d be keeping the faith,” said Dillman, before adding. “Of course, its thrilling when they call.”

to name the source.

He began building, hoping to sell his homes as quickly as possible. Until recently, he said every house has sold prior to completion. In the last two years, he has built more than 30 homes in NorthWest Crossing, he said, keeping about 50 workers on the job full time. Nearly every week, he said he gets a call from someone on a construction crew thanking him for the job.

But he credits West Bend Property Co. “The neighborhood owes its success to the developers,” Welch said.

Google+

An undated handout screenshot of Google+’s Hangouts.

Google’s new social network has defeated the privacy problem that has plagued Facebook and expanded video chatting to as many as 10 people.

Continued from G1 At first, Google+ looks like a shameless Facebook duplicate.

There’s a place for you to make Posts (your thoughts and news, like Facebook’s Wall); there’s a Stream (an endless scrolling page of your friends’ posts, like Facebook’s News Feed); and even a little +1 button (a clone of Facebook’s Like button), which may be where Google+ gets its peculiar name.

Stuart Goldenberg New York Time News Service

Going round and round But there’s one towering, brilliant difference: Circles.

On Google+, you put the people of your life’s different social circles into — well, into Circles. That is, groups. Categories. Google starts you off with empty circles called Friends, Acquaintances, Family and Following (people you don’t know, but want to follow, as you would on Twitter). It’s a piece of cake to add new ones. They can be tiny circles (“Granny and Gramps”) or big ones (“Family Tree”), organization-based (“Fantasy League Buddies”) or arbitrary (“Annoying People”).

Creating them is a blast: An array of tiles represents your online acquaintances, which it assembles from your Gmail and other accounts. You drag each one into an actual on-screen circle, where they tumble into place. You can drag a person into more than one circle, of course. The lucky encir-

More Spirit

BY THE NUMBERS • 35 planes now • 33 planes on order • 46 destinations: 20 in the U.S., 13 in the Caribbean; 13 in Latin America • 2,385 employees • 58 consumer complaints to the Department of Transportation in May • $243.3 million generated in nonticket revenues in 2010 • $77 average base fare in 2010

SELLING SPIRIT Spirit sells advertising pretty much everywhere. According to the company pitch to potential advertisers, buying space for three months costs as follows: • 1 exterior plane wrap (for a year): $400,000 • 1,234 overhead bins: $196,000 • 4,698 tray tables: $119,000 • 700 aprons: $19,000 • 50,000 air sick bags: $18,500 • 150,000 plastic foam cups: $16,000

WHAT FEES PASSENGERS CAN EXPECT TO PAY Standard passengers can count on the following fees; discounts are available for members of the $9 Fare Club: • Boarding pass: $5 if printed by an agent starting Nov. 1; free from home • Seat assignments: $10, $14, $18 depending on the location or $25 for exit rows • Carry-on bags: $30-$45 • First checked bag: $28-$38 for domestic flights • Overweight bags: $25 more for 1-10 extra pounds; $50 more for 11-30 extra pounds • Bigger front seat: $25-$75 • Animal crackers: $2 • Water, juice or soda: $3 • Travel insurance: $14

cled friend will know that you’ve added him or her to a circle, but not which one, thank heaven.

From now on, every time you share something — a news item, a thought, a photo, a chat invitation — you can specify exactly which Circles receive it. In one fell swoop, Google has solved the layers-of-privacy problem that has dogged Facebook for years.

Senators embarrassed by their children’s drunken party photos. Potential employers reading about your crazy nightlife.

Girlfriends learning accidentally about their beaus’ proposal plans. All of it goes away with Circles. You share each item with only the people who deserve to know. And simultaneously, you spare the masses from seeing news of no interest to them; why should the whole world be in on your discussion of this Friday’s bowling outing?

You’re spared, too. You can click a Circle’s name to filter the scrolling blurbs. You can view only the work-related posts, only your college buddies’ posts, or only your grandparents’ posts, with one click apiece.

Facebook has something similar, called Groups. But compared with Circles, it’s buried and a lot more effort to use. In Google+, you have to specify who gets each post or each photo (although it remembers your last selections).

That’s actually a little annoying — you can’t just type an update and hit Enter — but overall, the benefits outweigh the hassle.

Google+ has a few more attractions, though, besides this clever privacy control feature. There’s Sparks, which is like a personal press-clipping service (and akin to Google Alerts). You browse for, or type in, a topic you’re interested in, like “Electric Cars,”

Spirit

per passenger flight segment has mushroomed 600 percent.

That revenue includes Spirit’s credit card, annual subscription to a club that allows access to the lowest rates and sales of advertising aboard planes.

Continued from G1 The company prides itself on keeping costs low, offering the cheapest fares around and charging high fees for extras as basic as carry-on luggage and agent-printed boarding passes.

That low-cost ethos trickles all the way up to the company’s humble headquarters in Miramar, Fla., where there is no receptionist, employees take out their own trash and the overhead lights operate on a minimum number of light bulbs when they’re even used.

“We try to not spend money on things that our customers don’t really care about,” Baldanza said. “Our customers don’t care how nice my office is or how palatial our headquarters are.”

While alienating some fliers, the no-amenity strategy has kept the company profitable since 2007. Spirit saw a net income of $7.9 million for the three months that ended March 31 — a stretch when the country’s five biggest airlines reported a loss of more than $1 billion combined.

Despite a weaker-than-expected initial offering of public stock in late May, the company that uses SAVE as its stock symbol is earning admiration from Wall Street.

“SAVE is the newest business model in town with absolutely no frills, small enough to grow capacity by 17 percent per year through 2015, and even lower unit costs than (JetBlue) and (Southwest), which should enable SAVE to profitably stimulate demand in new/existing markets through discounting tickets 1/3 below competitors,” wrote Citigroup analyst Will Randow in a July 5 investment advice note.

Spirit’s business model may be relatively new, but the firm itself dates back nearly five decades, when it was founded as Clippert Trucking Company. Over the years, it became a charter tour operator, air charter and eventually a scheduled passenger airline called Spirit.

Since 2006, nonticket revenue

The price you pay And yes, fees, where Spirit is the industry leader. It was one of the first U.S. carriers to charge for checked bags in 2007 — a practice that even many legacy carriers have since adopted. And in 2010, Spirit pioneered charges for carry-on bags too big to fit under the seat.

Last year, the airline ranked first among 20 carriers in fees as a percent of total operating revenue. According to government statistics, Spirit charged more than $104 million in bag and reservation change fees in 2010, accounting for 13.4 percent of its total operating revenue of nearly $780 million. All told, U.S. airlines last year collected almost $5.7 billion from those two categories of fees.

Recently, Spirit announced that boarding passes printed at the airport by an agent would cost $5 starting Nov. 1. But the airline emphasized that printing at home and at kiosks for the next year would be free, and base fares would be reduced by $5.

The fee-heavy strategy and other service practices related to Spirit’s tight cost structure have prompted rants on social media and user review sites such as Yelp. Complaints about long airport waits, delayed flights, poor

The most mind-blowing “Facebook can’t do this” feature, though, is Hangouts. Technically, it’s videoconferencing. It lets up to 10 people join a chat simultaneously, using their Web cams or laptop cameras.

A row of 1-inch tiles, each displaying one participant’s video feed, appears below the big screen. Google+ does its best to switch cameras for the big screen automatically, based on whoever’s talking at the moment.

(You can also click someone’s tile manually.) A skinny chat

service, cramped seats and fees for items as basic as water on a plane are common.

Countered Baldanza: “You’re going to think I’m a jerk when I say the next thing, but if you have some sort of medical condition that requires you take a certain pill at 2 in the afternoon and you’re going to be on the plane at 2 in the afternoon, I think it’s going to be OK to expect that people are going to be responsible enough to make sure that they can take that pill.” In other words, pay the $3 for a bottle of water on board, or bring your own — though you’ll need to purchase that after you pass through security.

Not all of its practices have passed government inspection, however. Spirit was ordered by the Department of Transportation to pay a $375,000 fine in 2009 for its procedures for bumping passengers from oversold flights and its handling of lost or damaged baggage, though the company only had to pay $215,000.

The airline is now challenging some new DOT consumer protection rules.

“They don’t want to be loved,” said George Hobica, founder of travel site Airfarewatchdog.com.

But, he said: “Nobody beats them pricewise — even with the fees.”

“When they talk about cutting the cost of something, a lot of that actually gets delivered to customers in the form of lower base fares,” he said.

The bottom line, according to Citigroup’s Randow, is that Spirit’s cost per available seat mile is more than 30 percent lower than the industry average, 6 percent below Southwest’s and 24 per-

Now, there are, of course, a few minuses to Google+.

Perhaps because of its newness, Google+ feels uncluttered and calm, especially compared to the frenetic, commercial Times Square of Facebook. But Google+ still is, in its way, just as confusing.

You keep wondering: What if people in that circle share my private post with their circles? And what happens if I remove a couple of people from a circle? Can they still see things I’ve shared in the past? You’ll spend a good deal of time fumbling around.

No other services (like Twitter or, of course, Facebook) are tied in yet. No games or applications yet. The members so far are mostly geeks.

There are bugs and glitches, although it would be unfair to mention them; the service isn’t even public yet.

But Google calls Google+ a project, and that’s just what it is, an unapologetic beginning.

It’s online, so Google can and will constantly fine-tune it, add features and beef up the help mechanisms.

Until now, Facebook and Twitter have been the Dominant Duo of social networking. But Google’s less sprawling, more video-centric, better-controlled new service is already too good to ignore. Now it’s the Dominant Duo … +1.

The bottom line Robert Mann, president of airline industry analysis firm R.W. Mann & Company, gives Spirit credit for that trade-off. He said most airlines add costs without giving customers anything in return.

Hyundai throwing a curve Don’t worry about ‘87 Mazda’s oil use at compact car shoppers

shape of the Mazda rotary engine combustion chamber as an “epitrochoid.” Thanks for the opportunity!

Both the front and rear undercarriage on my 1998 Lexus ES300 squeak when I go over humps. The dealership said I need to replace my shocks. But my trusted mechanic insists the shocks are still good and just lubricates all four joints every oil change.

The squeak diminishes and the rear even totally goes away for a while. Any thoughts on what may be the real score?

Tired bushings, most likely. Since the squeaking diminishes or stops after lubrication, I agree that the shocks aren’t the source. I suspect the rubber bushings on the shock/ strut mounts and control arms have dried out and are sticking as the suspension moves up and down. Since the material is rubber, a silicone lubricant is a better choice.

Besides a visual inspection to identify any dried, cracked or torn bushings, the only way I know to identify a squeaky bushing is to spray individual bushings one at a time with an aerosol silicone, followed by a test drive.

My Alldata database pulled up technical service bulletin SU002-99 that identifies an updated upper strut rubber bushing to address front suspension noise on bumpy roads.

Q:

By Lawrence Ulrich New York Times News Service

Today’s youngsters might be forgiven for assuming that the television was born flat, that music always fit in a digital postage stamp or that economy cars have always been safe, stylish and stuffed.

These innocents have no reference point for the visual and mechanical calamities of yore. Names like Pacer and Escort, Omni and Citation, will be met with blank looks, as will tales of hardier generations sanding away rust or trudging through snow when another tiny junker died in the breakdown lane.

Coming from Hyundai, whose own small cars once seemed as disposable as butane lighters, the redesigned 2012 Elantra shows how thoroughR E V I E W ly things have changed. As more Americans embrace small cars as a hedge against fuel prices, automakers are returning the hug with compacts that perform believable impressions of larger, pricier machines. They’re typically a tad slower and their 4cylinder engines a bit louder; a passenger may suffer the indignity of having to manually adjust a seat.

And 40 mpg has suddenly become the sine qua non for small sedans and hatchbacks. The Elantra chins that bar as well, if only in the eyes of the Environmental Protection Agency, which rates the Hyundai at 29 mpg in town and 40 on the highway.

With Hyundai rebuilding its lineup like a billionaire team owner on a free-agent binge — bringing seven new models to market over 24 months — the Elantra follows the recent Santa Fe and Tucson crossovers and Sonata and Equus sedans.

The Elantra has adopted, from the Sonata, the so-called fluidic sculpture design theme. The description is clumsy, but the results are handsome: from its friendly-alien face to its rollercoaster wheel arches, the Elantra’s body has a cascading flow.

Interesting details abound: the precise surfaces and proportions of the back end are pure Lexus, in a good way.

It’s certainly a check-me-out design, and some may feel the Hyundai is trying too hard. Yet Chevy and Honda designers, especially, might look at the Elantra and ask themselves — at least when no one’s looking — why they didn’t push themselves harder when they were styling the ultraconventional Cruze and Civic.

The swell-and-flow continues inside, in an expensive-looking cabin that shares class honors with the Chevy; it’s also more youthful feeling and less monochromatic than the Cruze. Two big climate-control knobs are stacked like a pretty wedding cake, with blue- and red-frosted accents. The engine start button and driver’s gauges glow in ice blue, and a piano-black finish plays over the shifter and its housing.

The head-scratcher is the absence of either power seats or automatic climate control, even

I am writing to you about my wife’s 1987 Mazda RX7 with 154,000 miles on it. The engine still runs perfectly, but I am concerned because it does not use any oil whatsoever between 3,000-mile oil changes. I am concerned that the “metering oil pump” is not working properly. This is the pump that lubricates the rotor apex seals.

Do you have any idea how much oil it should use in 3,000 miles? Do you think I’m silly to lose sleep because the car does not use any oil, or do you think I should get the metering pump checked out?

If the engine has survived 150,000-plus miles and still runs perfectly, go back to bed.

The rotary engine in the ’87 RX-7 featured a mechanical oil metering pump that varies the amount of oil delivered to the rotor and epitrochoid — or hourglass-shaped — combustion chamber via a metering rod attached to the throttle linkage. The higher the throttle setting, the more oil is injected to lubricate and cool the apex seals on the rotor.

You can check the function and adjustment of the metering rod and pump, but if you’re really concerned and actually losing sleep, you can premix about one ounce of engine oil per gallon of gasoline in the tank to ensure adequate lubrication of the combustion chamber, rotor and seals.

I would guess that you and your wife drive the car so gently that very little oil is needed to lubricate the rotor and combustion chamber, thus the minimal oil consumption.

By the way, I’ve waited more than 25 years to describe the

New York Times News Service

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra sports the fluidic sculpture design of the Sonata.

2012 Hyundai Elantra Base price: $15,955 As tested: $23,305 Type: Front-engine, frontwheel-drive “compact” midsize sedan Engine: 1.8-liter, four-cylinder, mated to a six-speed manual transmission, for base models; Elantra Limited qualifies as Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle Mileage: 29 mpg city, 40 mpg highway as options, especially in a car that does offer heated rear seats.

I had some trouble finding the just-right driving position, and a colleague found the driver’s seat cushion too short for comfortable thigh support.

More volume As with most new “compacts,” the Hyundai doesn’t just push size boundaries, it demolishes them. The Elantra is only an inch longer and nearly 2 inches lower than before, riding a 2-inch-longer wheelbase. Yet Hyundai has carved out more interior volume than in the larger Nissan Maxima. The Elantra is classified by the EPA as a midsize sedan, joining the Cruze, Jetta, Focus and Nissan Sentra. The result is a sedan with the most front legroom in the class and one of the roomiest trunks at nearly 15 cubic feet.

On paper, the Hyundai has its internals in order as well. You get four-wheel-disc brakes with brake assist, compared with cheaper rear drums on the Jetta and some other competitors. A new 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine features dual variable valve timing, throttle-by-wire and a twostage variable intake. The upshot is a healthy 148 horsepower. The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission developed in-house that is especially nimble and refined. And in a neat twist to the usual stability-control functions, the Hyundai’s electric steering can automatically dial in a few degrees of countersteer to steady the car when it begins to lose traction or veer off course.

I drove a top-of-the-heap Elantra Limited, whose special PZEV version (for Partial Zero Emis-

sions Vehicle) trims pollution levels to hybridlike lows. That PZEV model is offered in California, Oregon and several Northeast states that conform with California’s stricter air-quality rules.

Testing the engine Once in motion, the Hyundai turns out to be slightly less than the sum of its parts.

The engine is an especially eager revver, but gets vociferous in its upper register. More distressing is the ride over rough stuff: The Elantra feels choppy, loud and unsettled compared with many of its rivals, especially the creamy-feeling Civic and Cruze.

The structure, too, can feel as jiggly as fresh panna cotta.

Slamming the doors or trunk produces a hollow echo rather than a reassuring thunk.

Yet the steering is accurate, and I still enjoyed driving the Elantra and even tossing it around.

Since the EPA adjusted its test procedures to deliver a closer real-world accounting, I’ve been able to achieve — with only a little conscious effort — the window-sticker mileage in almost every car I test. But these new 40-mpg compacts seem to be mostly cheaters, using shortcuts like insanely tall overdrive gears that help to trick the test.

Hyundai, for its part, has trumpeted the fact that every version of the Elantra — not just special economy models like the stick-shift version of the Cruze Eco — is rated at 40 mpg on the highway.

But Hyundai might want to turn down the volume: I couldn’t get above 37 mpg in the Elantra, even when observing a 55 mph speed limit, with or without cruise control. In typical highway driving, I got 31 to 34 mpg, which is reasonably good economy, but much less than advertised.

Yet for Hyundai, the bottom line is still the bottom line: the Elantra costs less than its main competitors in a budget-minded class where every dollar counts.

Though it has more standard features than the Civic or Cruze, including those four-wheel-disc brakes, the Elantra costs about $1,000 to $2,000 less, depending on the model.

Starting at $15,955 for the GLS

with a manual transmission, the Elantra rises to $23,305 for a loaded Limited. That price includes a single option, a $2,100 Premium Package whose features include that intuitive touch-screen navigation system, a backup camera, a 360-watt premium audio system and a proximity key that allows you to open the doors and start the engine with the key in your pocket.

Hyundai (and its Kia corporate cousin) easily wins the compact class warranty battle, with powertrain coverage for 10 years or 100,000 miles, bumper-to-bumper coverage of five years or 60,000 miles and unlimited roadside assistance for five years.

Elantra drivers will look good, but they will also look smart.

And despite some pesky rideand-refinement issues, that’s a formula for a successful small car.

Q: I have a 7-year-old and a 14-year-old. Is there a radio station we can all listen to happily? Even the adults? —David Beebe, Evanston, Ill.

A: There are various alter-

natives on satellite radio (Sirius/XM has a channel called Kids Place Live) and on the Internet (AOL’s Kids Pop), but a popular

AM/FM option is Radio Disney. The network, also available online and on Sirius, plays both original music from Disney stars like Selena Gomez and the latest hits from artists like Beyoncé. “Believe it or not, we hear from adults all the time that they keep Radio Disney playing long after they drop off the car pool,” says Ernie D, the network’s creative director and one of its DJs. Worried about some of the lyrics in current pop songs? Don’t be.

Artists supply Radio Disney with kid-appropriate versions when necessary.

When it comes to human papillomavirus (HPV), females are only half the equation. There are 30 to 40 types of HPV that will affect an estimated 75% to 80% of males and females in their lifetime. For most, HPV clears on its own. But, for others who don’t clear certain types, HPV could cause cervical cancer in females and other types of HPV could cause genital warts in both males and females.

And there’s no way to predict who will or won’t clear the virus.

GARDASIL is the only HPV vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases. In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 90% of genital warts cases.

GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings.

GARDASIL does not treat cervical cancer or genital warts.

GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL, including those severely allergic to yeast, should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant.

The side effects include pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. Fainting can happen after getting GARDASIL. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your child’s health care professional may ask your child to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after he or she gets GARDASIL. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff. This may require evaluation or treatment by your child’s health care professional.

Only a doctor or health care professional can decide if GARDASIL is right for your child.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Please read the Patient Information on the next page and discuss it with your child’s doctor or health care professional.

9883616 USPPI Patient Information about ® GARDASIL (pronounced “gard-Ah-sill”) Generic name: [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16, and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant] 1

Read this information with care before getting GARDASIL .

You (the person getting GARDASIL) will need 3 doses of the vaccine. It is important to read this leaflet when you get each dose. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with your health care provider about GARDASIL. What is GARDASIL? GARDASIL is a vaccine (injection/shot) that is used for girls and women 9 through 26 years of age to help protect against the following diseases caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV): • Cervical cancer • Vulvar and vaginal cancers • Anal cancer • Genital warts • Precancerous cervical, vaginal, vulvar, and anal lesions GARDASIL is used for boys and men 9 through 26 years of age to help protect against the following diseases caused by HPV: • Anal cancer • Genital warts • Precancerous anal lesions The diseases listed above have many causes, and GARDASIL only protects against diseases caused by certain kinds of HPV (called Type 6, Type 11, Type 16, and Type 18). Most of the time, these 4 types of HPV are responsible for the diseases listed above.

GARDASIL cannot protect you from a disease that is caused by other types of HPV, other viruses, or bacteria.

GARDASIL does not treat HPV infection.

You cannot get HPV or any of the above diseases from GARDASIL. What important information about GARDASIL should I know?

• You should continue to get routine cervical cancer screening.

• GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone who gets the vaccine.

• GARDASIL will not protect against HPV types that you already have.

Who should not get GARDASIL? You should not get GARDASIL if you have, or have had: • an allergic reaction after getting a dose of GARDASIL. • a severe allergic reaction to yeast, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, polysorbate 80.

What should I tell my health care provider before getting GARDASIL? Tell your health care provider if you: • are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. GARDASIL is not recommended for use in pregnant women.

• have immune problems, like HIV infection, cancer, or you take medicines that affect your immune system.

• have a fever over 100°F (37.8°C).

• had an allergic reaction to another dose of GARDASIL. • take any medicines, even those you can buy over the counter.

Your health care provider will help decide if you should get the vaccine.

How is GARDASIL given?

GARDASIL is a shot that is usually given in the arm muscle.

You will need 3 shots given on the following schedule: • Dose 1: at a date you and your health care provider choose.

• Dose 2: 2 months after Dose 1.

• Dose 3: 6 months after Dose 1.

Fainting can happen after getting GARDASIL. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your health care provider may ask you to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after you get GARDASIL. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff. This may require evaluation or treatment by your health care provider.

Make sure that you get all 3 doses on time so that you get the best protection. If you miss a dose, talk to your health care provider.

Can other vaccines and medications be given at the same time as GARDASIL? GARDASIL can be given at the same time as RECOMBIVAX HB ®1 [hepatitis B vaccine (recombinant)] or Menactra [Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine] and Adacel [Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (Tdap)].

What are the possible side effects of GARDASIL? The most common side effects with GARDASIL are: • pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site • headache • fever • nausea • dizziness • vomiting • fainting

HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS Quality Tools at Ridiculously Low Prices

Manner Up! Modern etiquette made easy

Q: Someone at work always brings fish for lunch and microwaves it where we all eat.

It’s very stinky, which we’ve mentioned to her, but she still does it.

What can we do?

PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK

—Sandra K., San Angelo, Tex.

A: Is your coworker a penguin? Because unless she’s sporting flippers and a beak and is therefore restricted in her diet, there’s no reason she can’t save the fish for home and bring something else to eat for lunch. To make sure she doesn’t feel personally attacked, ask a supervisor to send a memo specifying the few foods that are too odoriferous to be heated in the microwave or are just universally offensive.

(Fish is No. 1. A close second: blue cheese.) Of course, what’s truly mind-boggling is that the woman didn’t voluntarily cease and desist when people complained about the smell. There’s something fishy there.

THE SPACE AGE

The Next

1 PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY in May 1961, vowing the U.S would put a man on the moon in that decade.

2 THE ORIGINAL SEVEN astronauts of Project Mercury, NASA’s first human spaceflight program, in July 1962.

A LOOK AT NASA’S DEFINING MOMENTS—AND WHERE WE’RE HEADED NOW

Whither Pluto, and Other Earth-Shattering Discoveries

BY MIKE BROWN, CALTECH ASTRONOMY PROFESSOR

like many kids in the 1970s, i was space crazy.

It was the start of the space age, and as I watched in awe as astronauts on TV stepped on the moon’s dry surface, I dreamed of living there someday. I pored over a color newspaper photo that had actually been taken by a robot on Mars, and I read all about its (unsuccessful) search for life. On my wall was a poster with a line tracing the path of the spacecraft that was heading out to study the nine planets—well, except for Pluto, which was too far away.

Thirty-five years later and my hobby has become a full-time job—I’m a professor of astronomy at Caltech in Pasadena. Since my childhood, I’ve witnessed our knowledge of the solar system expand exponentially. As a kid, I had a map of the solar system that showed 11 bodies—nine planets plus the moon and the sun— floating in a dark void broken only by a few tiny asteroids and comets. Today, we’ve filled in so much more of the picture, thanks to robots, spacecraft, telescopes, and laboratories. Here are some of the biggest findings.

We’ve lost a planet—but gained many worlds.

Out of all the recent discoveries, one in particular upset lots of people: the demotion of lovable Pluto from full-fledged planet to dwarf planet. But with its tiny size and elongated, tilted orbit, it never really fit in with the rest of our planetary lineup.

Visit us at PARADE.COM

In the last several years, astronomers using computers and cameras attached to scopes have found that Pluto is just one of thousands of similar bodies crisscrossing the Kuiper Belt, the region of the solar system beyond Neptune. (In 2005, I discovered the first of these objects found to be more massive than Pluto; it was later named Eris, and it paved the way for Pluto’s reclassification.)

Each of these bodies is a fresh little world with its own unique conditions and characteristics. Like Haumea, which spins once every four hours—faster than anything else seen in the solar system so far— and is surrounded by the debris from a collision that occurred billions of years ago. Or Quaoar, a rocky world in the otherwise icy belt. Or slowpoke Sedna, which takes 12,000 years to complete one solar orbit and appears to have changed so little over time that it may hold secrets to the birth of the solar system.

There are scores more.

There’s truly no place like our home solar system.

For centuries, astronomers believed every star in the sky might hold a solar system much like our own, with small, rocky planets residing close in; giant, gaseous planets situated farther out; and all of these planets rotating around their suns in stately circular orbits. But the latest generation of telescopes is showing us that we couldn’t be more wrong. Enormous, gassy planets like Jupiter—which were thought to form in the deep cold far from the sun—have been found nearer to their suns than blazing-hot Mercury is to ours; we’ve spied jumbled arrays of planets following crooked orbits. Seemingly the only thing we haven’t seen is a

THE OFFSP∏ING OF MIC∏OBES F∏OM MA∏S MAY STILL BE ON EA∏TH—AND THEY A∏E US.

A host of private companies aim to send tourists into zero G as early as next year. Here are the contenders. ▼ COMPANY: BIGELOW AEROSPACE

▲ COMPANY: VIRGIN GALACTIC FOUNDER: Sir Richard Branson, CEO of

the Virgin Group THE SHIP: WhiteKnightTwo will take off like an airplane and carry SpaceShipTwo, which it will release at 50,000 feet. A rocket engine will send SpaceShipTwo more than 62 miles up, where riders will experience weightlessness for about four minutes before returning.

CAPACITY: Six passengers and two pilots LAUNCH DATE: Possibly as soon as 2012 PRICE: $200,000, with a $20,000 minimum deposit

“When you come out of the nine-minute hold, you’re in space and that’s your new reality for a couple of weeks. Going home, you start the de-orbit burn, and an hour later you’re on the runway on Earth; two days later, you’re working in your yard. It’s fascinating to have your reality change so much and so quickly.”

—NASA pilot Doug Hurley, a crew member on the last space shuttle flight

FOUNDER: Robert Bigelow, owner of Budget Suites of America hotels THE SHIP: The BA 330 is a habitable, expandable spacecraft that will hold astronauts, labs, and manufacturing equipment and travel 217 to 280 miles above Earth—around the same altitude as the International Space Station.

CAPACITY: Up to six passengers, depending on the pod’s size LAUNCH DATE: Two BA 330’s will be ready for launch by 2014 PRICE: $28.75 million for a 30-day stay

Moons are so much more than planetary sidekicks.

▲ COMPANY:

CAPACITY: Three passengers LAUNCH DATE: Test flights containing experiments may start later this year PRICE: Undecided

WHAT’S IT REALLY LIKE BEING IN SPACE? Insights from current and former astronauts

by Emmet Sullivan

“The sheer force shooting you into space is amazing. For nine minutes, you experience unbelievable acceleration. It’s like the best roller-coaster/fighter-jet ride imaginable.”

—NASA mission specialist Rex Walheim, a crew member on the last shuttle flight

“Since there’s no up or down in space, you’re disoriented all the time. You can get lost in the space shuttle because nothing is recognizable. The floor doesn’t look like the floor, or you can’t quite seem to find it.”

—FAA’s Pamela Melroy, former astronaut and veteran of three shuttle flights

As a kid, I committed the nine planets to memory, but I never thought much about their moons. By and large, neither did scientists. The only moon they studied was ours, which, judging from the Apollo findings, was dusty and quite dull.

But after six major robotic missions, analysis and reanalysis of the Apollo astronauts’ moon rocks, and data from lunar orbiters, we now know that there are over 140 planetary moons—Saturn alone has at least 53!—and that they are some of the solar system’s most fascinating places.

Jupiter has Io, which boasts more volcanic activity than Yellowstone, and Europa, which has an ocean of water hiding beneath a thin ice crust.

Saturn’s Titan contains clouds of methane droplets that fall into seas the size of our Great Lakes.

Even our moon has turned out to be interesting. When NASA scientists slammed a used rocket booster into its south pole in October 2009, a plume of water spewed up. Further evidence shows that water, essential for human life, might be ubiquitous both on the surface and inside.

Maybe my dreams of waking up on the moon were not so crazy after all.

—Head of NASA Charles F. Bolden Jr., former astronaut and veteran of four shuttle flights

“One strange thing about going into space was how I felt on Earth afterwards.

When I came home, I was almost appalled at the level of force squishing us like bugs into the Earth. Once you’ve escaped gravity, you realize how overpowering it is.”

—NASA mission specialist Sandy Magnus, a crew member on the last shuttle flight

To great disappointment, the 1976 Viking landers revealed that Mars was a frigid wasteland with no signs of living organisms. But since then, scientists have gone from thinking life there is impossible to thinking it might be inevitable. What’s led to the shift? Three realizations: Mars was hotter and wetter at one time; microbes can survive most anywhere

“My most unexpected sensation was emotion.

Ten minutes into my first flight, I saw a huge island. It took me a while to recognize that it was Africa.

It was beautiful but disconcerting— there were no borders or lines. I started to cry, because I couldn’t believe I was looking down on where my ancestors came from.”

NASA’S OTHER HEROES These unmanned spacecraft have been some of space exploration’s great unsung stars

by Rebecca Boyle

Voyager 1 and 2 (1977–?)

The twin probes have revealed the solar system’s diversity—showing us, for instance, the volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io—and made the first visits to Uranus and Neptune. But their major legacy will be exiting the solar system—they’ll be the first human-built objects to do so. Voyager 1 is now almost 11 billion miles from the sun; Voyager 2, close to 9 billion. Voyager 1 should escape the sun’s influence by 2015.

Hubble Space Telescope (1990–?)

The Hubble has enabled us to pinpoint the universe’s age; understand how galaxies evolve; find planets outside the solar system; and discover dark energy, a force that seems to be pulling the universe apart at an accelerating rate. Set to operate through 2014.

Mars Rovers Spirit (2004–2010) and Opportunity (2004–?)

Designed to last three months, the twin craft have sent back data for more than seven years. Two big discoveries: Evidence was found that Mars once held a salty sea and hot springs, and that water was there recently—100,000 years ago. Opportunity is still on the job, and should be as long as its solar panels get sunlight, but Spirit last phoned home in March 2010.

and, once they exist, are nearly impossible to eradicate; and asteroid impacts have blasted pieces of Earth to Mars—and vice versa—for billions of years.

So picture this: In the distant past, a rock from Earth containing microbes landed on a warm, damp Mars. Their descendants remain there to this day, hidden in niches and eking out an existence on an otherwise inhospitable Mars. Or envision this: Microbes from Mars

fell on the very early Earth, and the offspring of those microbes are still here—and they are us.

For now, these ideas are mostly speculative, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a mission to Mars in our lifetime found these microbes, and showed us that sometimes sci-fi stories can come true.

Sunscreen weakens when exposed to heat and light. Store it in a cool place, not in the trunk of your car. Get formulas with stabilizing ingredients, like Helioplex or Dermaplex.

You probably need another coat. “The general rule is a shot glass full for the whole body. But if you’re in a bathing suit, that may not be enough,” says dermatologist Cheryl Karcher.

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant We all know that the equator is the dividing line between the Northern and Southern hemispheres. But where’s the geographic line that divides “Western” and “Eastern” countries? —Bradley Selzman, Los Angeles

It’s the great circle that runs through the prime meridian (0 degrees longitude) at Greenwich, England, and the 180degree meridian—the international date line—in the Pacific Ocean. If you’re west of the prime meridian (up to the 180degree meridian), you’re in the Western Hemisphere. If you’re east of the prime meridian (again, up to the 180-degree meridian), you’re in the Eastern Hemisphere. In practice, some people consider the dividing line to be 20 degrees west of Greenwich (and 160 degrees east) so Europe and Africa are not straddling both hemispheres. ®

Roll ’Em! Gilles Marini of Brothers and Sisters shares a French trick for feeding the family on the fly

P “If you have time, let the batter rest for half an hour before frying the crepes. And you can keep any unused batter covered in the fridge for one day.”

I grew up in a little bakery in France. My father would bake everything, and I was eating, eating, eating—8 to 10 pastries a day!

W henever my mother would declare it crepe night at home, we would think, Wow, Mom is so cool! But it was an easy way for my mom to feed us, because when you have nothing in the fridge but eggs and a bit of flour and whatnot, you can still make crepes.

My wife and I do that now with our children, Georges and Juliana. We’ll ask, “What shall we make tonight?” And we usually do crepes. They’re like the French burrito. They can be sweet, like this recipe, or done with ham and cheese and eggs, or with salmon.

P “My secret ingredient is eau de fleur d’oranger [orangeblossom water, available in specialty food stores]. Put in only one or two drops because it’s very, very strong. But people will say, ‘Oh my God, this is delicious.’ ”

Crepe Expectations Gilles Marini and his father, Georges, make pastries.

2 cups milk 1 cup flour 3 eggs 1 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract ¼ cup melted, unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing

1. Combine all ingredients in a mixer or blender and blend until smooth.

2. In a medium-size skillet over medium-low heat, melt ½ tsp butter; ladle

in ¼ cup crepe batter. Swirl the skillet until you have a thin layer of batter covering the entire bottom.

3. Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes; flip. Cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1 minute.

4. Add a filling, if desired, right after flipping. Place ingredients down the center

of the crepe so you can fold in the sides like an envelope. If you aren’t using a filling, cook all the crepes, then put them on a plate in the middle of the table alongside bowls of various fillings—jams, Nutella, whipped cream, sautéed fruit, etc.—so everyone can choose their own.

P “I love salmon crepes. But if you want to make the recipe savory, not sweet, you need to lose the vanilla extract and the sugar. Then you can put whatever you want inside.”

5. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
