MENTAL HEALTH HOMES

Proposals Proposal for notification leaves out neighbors on PERS, Facebook and more That idea arose after neighbors complained last year that they were notified only at the last minute that two treatment homes were about to open on Bend’s east side.

A neighbor of one of the homes faulted the new proposal for failing to require the state or providers to solicit feedback from prospective neighbors.

“A neighborhood representative

A new proposal would require the state and companies that plan to open mental health treatment homes to notify local public safety councils but not neighbors.

An earlier state proposal would have required treatment providers to notify neighbors of their plans before finalizing home purchases.

would be able to shine light on the potential issues/impact to a given neighborhood that might not be seen by others not familiar with the neighborhood itself,” Mark Leary wrote in an email on Monday.

A disability rights group, however, said that both of the state’s proposals discriminate against people with mental illnesses.

“If you or I or any of your read-

ers aren’t required to notify any of your neighbors that you’re moving in, a person shouldn’t have to do that just because they have a mental illness that is so severe that they have to live in a small group setting,” said Bob Joondeph, executive director of the nonprofit Disability Rights Oregon, on Monday.

• Each Central Oregon legislator can introduce 2 bills this session

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

SALEM — On Feb. 1, the Oregon Legislature will kick off the first even-year session mandated by the state Constitution. Though the session is expected to last only a month, Central Oregon lawmakers are preparing to introduce an ambitious menu of proposals covering issues as varied as stoned students and the state’s Public Employees Retirement System.

The session is the product of a 2010 ballot measure whose supportIN ers argued that it would give lawmakers time to focus on the state SALEM budget between regular, odd-year sessions. The measure set the maximum length of the special session at 35 days.

Central Oregon lawmakers will help fulfill the session’s primary objective — rebalancing the budget — but they also have the authority to introduce two bills apiece. Some will resurrect bills that failed last session, and one will introduce legislation to address a problem that emerged very recently.

Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, is working on a bill that would prohibit the state from taxing data centers protected by enterprise zones. McLane said he’s already at work gathering support for his legislation, which has been dubbed the “Facebook bill.” It was prompted by a dispute between the social network giant and the state Department of Revenue about the state’s ability to tax Facebook’s Prineville data center on the company’s intangible assets, such as the value of its brand.

Rob Flowers helps Buckingham Elementary fourth-grader Halie Elliott, 9, with reading during a life skills class Monday. Flowers began volunteering at Buckingham, where he has a son, after the school and its PTA launched a program to recruit more fathers to volunteer.

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Volunteers at Buckingham Elementary are usually women. The school and its PTA are trying to change that, however, with a program designed to bring fathers into the school.

The Buckingham PTA brought the national program Watch Dads of Great Students, or Watch D.O.G.S., to the school this fall. More than 120 fathers showed up at the launch meet-

ing, and about a dozen have since volunteered full days at the school.

The PTA spent about $300 to buy the program’s startup pack, which includes T-shirts, posters, training programs and schedules. Each volunteer goes through a background check before working at the school.

Bringing the program to Buckingham was a chance for the PTA to go beyond its typical scope, PTA President Susan

Raffensperger said.

“The program was way more than raising money, way more than bringing a party to the school. It was something that could actually change lives,” Raffensperger said.

Program volunteers typically pitch in with lunch and spend time in classrooms helping students with everything from reading to art.

Buckingham Principal Skip Offenhauser hopes fathers

aren’t turned away by the full schedule.

Even if a father can only spend a couple of hours, Offenhauser would be thrilled.

“If you look through schools, you’ll see more women represented in elementary settings than guys,” Offenhauser said. “(The program) is just to show dads there’s nothing to be afraid of. I think there’s a little bit of a fear factor.”

A century-old race to the end of the Earth

By John Noble Wilford New York Times News Service

One hundred years ago, on Dec. 14, 1911, the Norwegian Roald Amundsen and four companions trudged through fog, bitter cold and lacerating wind to stand at the absolute bottom of the world, the South Pole. Nowhere was there a trace of their British rival, Robert Falcon Scott. No Union Jack mocked them, no ice cairn bespoke precedence. The Norwegians had won the race.

Amundsen and Scott: They were commanding forces driving early exploration of Antarctica, the ice-covered continent almost half again the size of the United States and unlike any other place on Earth. Both were driven by ambition to win fame by grabbing one of the few remaining unclaimed geographic prizes. Each was different, though, in temperament and approach to exploration, which may have been decisive in the success of one and the undoing of the other.

Earnest and methodical, Amundsen had previously wintered over with an expedition in Antarctica and succeeded in the first navigation of the Northwest Passage, north of Canada, as he learned well how to prepare for work on the planet’s coldest, most unforgiving continent.

The future: creating a mind based on the real thing

By Steve Lohr New York Times News Service

Ever since the early days of modern computing in the 1940s, the biological metaphor has been irresistible. The first computers — room-size behemoths — were referred to as “giant brains” or “electronic brains.”

As computers improved and became capable of some tasks familiar to humans, like playing chess, the term used was “artificial intelligence.” DNA, it is said, is the original software.

For the most part, the biological metaphor has long been just that — a simplifying analogy rather than a blueprint for how to do computing. Engineering, not biology, guided the pursuit of artificial intelligence. As Frederick Jelinek, a pioneer in speech recognition, put it, “airplanes don’t flap their wings.”

Today’s chips are power hogs, running hot, which curbs how much of a chip’s circuitry can be used. These limits loom

as demand is accelerating for computing capacity.

To meet the challenge, without gobbling the world’s energy supply, a different approach will be needed. And biology, scientists say, promises to contribute more than metaphors.

“Every time we look at this, biology provides a clue as to how we should pursue the frontiers of computing,” said John Kelly, the director of research at IBM. Kelly points to Watson, the question-answering computer that can play “Jeopardy!” and beat two human champions earlier this year. IBM’s clever machine consumes 85,000 watts of electricity, while the human brain runs on just 20 watts. “Evolution figured this out,” Kelly said.

Several biologically inspired paths are being explored by computer scientists in universities and corporate laboratories worldwide. Researchers from IBM and four universities are

engaged in a project that seems particularly intriguing.

The project, a collaboration of computer scientists and neuroscientists begun three years ago, has been encouraging enough that in August it won a $21 million round of government financing from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, bringing the total to $41 million in three rounds. In recent months, the team has developed prototype “neurosynaptic” microprocessors, or chips that operate more like neurons and synapses than like conventional semiconductors.

In designing chips that bear some structural resemblance to the brain, so-called neuromorphic chips, neuroscience was a guiding principle as well.

Brains are low-power, nimble computing mechanisms — realworld proof that it is possible.

A brain does its computing with a design drastically differ-

ent from today’s computers. Its processors — neurons — are, in computing terms, massively distributed; there are billions in a human brain. These neuron processors are wrapped in its data memory devices — synapses — so the brain’s paths of communication are extremely efficient and diverse, through the neuron’s axons, which conduct electrical impulses.

A machine that adopts that approach, said Dharmendra Modha, the IBM computer scientist leading the project, would represent “a crucial shift away from von Neumann computing.” He was referring to a design with processor and memory physically separated and connected by a narrow communications channel, or bus, and operating according to step-by-step sequential methods — the von Neumann architecture used in current computers, named after the mathematician John von Neumann.

It’s Tuesday, Dec. 13, the 347th day of 2011. There are 18 days left in the year.

T S Billionaire Justices step into Arizona immigration debate to run against Putin in Russia SUPREME COURT

By Robert Barnes

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday intervened in another high-profile case testing the authority of the federal government, saying it would review Arizona’s crackdown on illegal immigrants, which inspired similar state efforts across the country.

The decision adds to one of the court’s most high-profile caseloads in years.

Next month, the court will

hear an emergency appeal from Texas that questions the role of federal courts in overseeing the deeply partisan issue of political redistricting. And in March, the court has scheduled 51⁄2 hours of oral arguments over the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s healthcare overhaul.

The Obama administration successfully challenged the Arizona law as an imposition on immigration powers belonging solely to federal authorities. But

the court apparently disagreed with the administration’s contention that review of the lowercourt decisions was not warranted at this time.

The Justice Department said the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco was correct to rule that Arizona was trying to take on a federal immigration role.

The appeals court blocked four elements of the new law: making it a state crime to be in the country illegally and fail-

ing to register with the federal government; making it illegal to seek work or to be working when not authorized; requiring state and local officers to try to determine the status of someone arrested, stopped or detained if they believe the individual might be in the country unlawfully; and allowing the warrantless arrest of anyone who they have probable cause to believe might have violated laws that would make them deportable under federal law.

The morning sun casts shadows on protesters as they march Monday in front of an entrance to the Port of Longview in Longview, Wash. Anti-Wall Street protesters along the West Coast joined an effort Monday to blockade some of the nation’s busiest docks, with the idea that if they cut off the ports, they cut into corporate profits.

Protesters take aim at West Coast ports

By Terry Collins The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — More than 1,000 Occupy Wall Street protesters blocked cargo trucks at some of the West Coast’s busiest ports Monday, forcing terminals in Oakland, Calif., Portland, and Longview, Wash., to halt operations.

While the protests attracted far fewer people than the 10,000 who turned out Nov. 2 to shut down Oakland’s port, organizers declared victory and promised more to come.

2-man debate, little excitement MANCHESTER, N.H. — If Newt Gingrich becomes the Republican nominee and President Barack Obama accepts his challenge to seven three-hour Lincoln-Douglasstyle debates, viewers might find them only on C-Span and should plan to have plenty of black coffee on hand.

At least that was one takeaway from a two-man unmoderated debate of a mere 90 minutes between Gingrich and Jon Huntsman, who at one point, when asked if he had more to add, said, “I see my daughter nodding off, so let’s move on.”

Devoted to foreign policy and national security, the debate on Monday was to include 10 topics. In true graduate-seminar style, the candidates covered only half the ground.

After an hour and a half, when the moderator offered a chance to hit the remaining five topics in a lightning round and they declined, the audience seemed to collectively sigh with relief.

Mission accomplished.”

Organizers called for the “Shutdown Wall Street on the Waterfront” protests, hoping the day of demonstrations would cut into the profits of the

corporations that run the docks and send a message that their movement was not over.

The closures’ economic impact, however, wasn’t immediately clear.

The longshoremen’s union did not officially support the protests, but its membership cited a provision in its contract that allowed workers to ask to stay off the job if they felt the conditions were unsafe.

Some went home with several hours’ pay, while others left with nothing.

Oakland Longshoreman DeAndre Whitten was OK with

it. “I hope they keep it up,” said Whitten, who lost about $500.

“I have no problem with it. But my wife wasn’t happy about it.”

Others, such as the truck drivers who had to wait in long lines as protesters blocked gates, were angry, saying the demonstrators were harming the very people they were trying to help.

“This is joke. What are they protesting?” said Christian Vega, who sat in his truck carrying a load of recycled paper.

He said the delay was costing him $600. “It only hurts me and the other drivers.”

At front of GOP pack, skirmishes escalate

By Katharine Q. Seelye New York Times News Service

WINDHAM, N.H. — For much of this presidential primary season, New Hampshire has been perceived as being in Mitt Romney’s back pocket. He has a house in Wolfeboro, N.H., and was governor of neighboring Massachusetts, where the news media made him a constant presence in New Hampshire living rooms.

But as in other early voting states, Newt Gingrich has unexpectedly surged in the polls here in recent weeks.

While Romney still holds the lead, Gingrich tops the polls in Iowa, South Carolina and Florida, gaining enough steam that while here Monday, he repeatedly referred to himself as the front-runner.

The stakes were evident Monday as the two candidates campaigned here and engaged in their most intense skirmishes to date. Romney demanded that Gingrich return the $1.8 million in consulting fees he

had received from Freddie Mac; Gingrich, a former House speaker, cast aside a vow not to attack his opponents and responded that Romney should “give back all the money he earned from bankrupting companies and laying off employees over his years at Bain.”

Until now, the two had circled each other warily and largely refrained from direct attacks, often using surrogates instead. But with both men on the ground here, they took to swatting at each other directly, highlighting just how important the New Hampshire primary may be in framing the fight for the Republican nomination.

A victory for Gingrich in the Jan. 10 primary here could be a serious setback for Romney, regardless of who wins the Iowa caucuses a week earlier.

Expectations for Romney are so high here, said Andy Smith, a pollster at the University of New Hampshire, that “Gingrich could lose by 10 points

The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — On the eve of a key court hearing, Jerry Sandusky’s lawyer said that no plea negotiations have been held and that the former Penn State assistant football coach is looking forward to facing his accusers in the child sex-abuse case.

As many as 10 young men could testify in public for the first time at the hearing, which is expected to last at least a full day today and perhaps spill into a second day.

ing, a judge will decide if prosecutors have enough evidence to send the case to trial.

It’s almost a given that prosecutors will succeed, since the bar is low and they have detailed the accusations in a 28-page grand jury report.

Defense lawyers sometimes waive preliminary hearings in those circumstances to avoid more negative publicity, but the excoach’s lawyer said the defense is eager to hear from the witnesses and gauge the strength of the case.

and still spin that as a win.”

Romney tried to lower those expectations Monday, telling Politico that Gingrich was the front-runner “right now,” perhaps eager to hand off the front-runner label — and the scrutiny — to Gingrich. The nomination, Romney said, “is not going to be decided in just a couple of contests” and “could go for months and months.”

Still, Gingrich is sailing into the wind here. He has not raised nearly the money or built nearly the organization that Romney has. While organization in a small, politically active state like New Hampshire with a primary is less important than it is in the Iowa caucuses, it still helps in tailoring messages and getting out the vote.

Crucially for Romney, voters here believe by an overwhelming margin that he would be better able than Gingrich to beat President Barack Obama, both in debates and in November.

THE BULLETIN • TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2011

Bills Continued from A1 Facebook was lured to Crook County in part because it could build its data center in an enterprise zone that offered a 15-year exemption on most property taxes.

Recently, however, the state has tried to apply a central assessment to the Prineville property, which Facebook officials fear could trump its special tax status and lead to a hefty tax bill.

State officials, meanwhile, have been unable to give clear and consistent answers to the company’s concerns.

Initially, they said that any additional taxes on Facebook would be small. Later, officials said the state wouldn’t be able to apply the taxes while the data center was protected by an enterprise zone. And later still, the state said it was still researching the issue.

The uncertainty is what worries McLane, not only for Facebook’s sake, but also for the sake of other companies that might want to build data centers in Oregon.

“This says, ‘Look, data centers will not be centrally assessed for taxation when they are located in an enterprise zone,’” McLane said of his legislation. “It keeps it simple. It assures those companies looking at enterprise zones that they won’t be surprised.”

McLane’s second bill would increase the amount of water that can be diverted from the Columbia River and used for irrigation.

Rep. Jason Conger, RBend, will introduce a bill that would change the state’s Public Employees Retirement System, as he did last ses-

South Pole Continued from A1 He knew from experience how indispensable well-trained dogs were for pulling sledges.

His next destination was to have been the North Pole. But when he heard that two other groups claimed that triumph, Amundsen wrote that “there was nothing left for me but to try and solve the last great problem — the South Pole.”

Scott was a navy officer and a gentleman who had led an expedition that fell well short of the South Pole because of poor planning and execution. He had a romantic view of exploration as a self-affirming adventure, a kind of trial by ice. Using dogs to pull all the sledges he thought unsporting: better, he wrote, “to go forth to face the hardships, dangers and difficulties with their unaided efforts.”

This the Scott party had to do. Its motorized sledges and the ponies soon broke down, leaving them to pull the sledges all the way up a glacier to the high polar plateau.

When Amundsen’s men already were only a week away from their base camp at the Bay of Whales, to complete their 2,000-mile round trip, the exhausted British team arrived at the pole on Jan. 17, 1912, five weeks too late. How deflating to see the Norwegian flag, alert to the wind. In his diary, Scott wrote: “Great God! This is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have laboured to it without the reward of priority.”

Disappointment then turned to tragedy. Stalled by a nineday blizzard, weak from hunger and sledge-pulling fatigue on the return trek, Scott and his four team members perished by the end of March. Most of the bodies were not found until November, at their last camp, among diaries and field notes and rock specimens they had gone perhaps too far out of the way to collect.

Scott may have lost the race to the pole, but in death, he prevailed in the narrative for much of the last century as the brave and stoic hero of legend.

Scientific contest The time of Amundsen and Scott was the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. The adventurous were in part attracted to the ice because, as the British mountaineer George Mallory was to say of Everest, it was there: a recognized new challenge. Even so, the same competitive spirit drove individuals and nations to seek to be first to make scientific discoveries, as Edward Larson, a Pepperdine University historian and author of the recent book “An Empire of Ice: Scott, Shackleton, and the Heroic Age of Antarctic Science,” describes

A sensor descends into a hole in the ice at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. The 100th anniversary of the race to the South Pole has prompted a fresh look back, but also new research.

in the Dec. 1 issue of the journal Nature.

As early as 1900, Larson notes, the British, notably teams under Ernest Shackleton and to a lesser extent Scott, as well as German scientists, measured the movement of glaciers and mapped the coast and the interior. From seabed sediments and outcrops they determined that Antarctica was a true continent — with a landmass underlying thick ice — in contrast to the Arctic, where the ice more thinly covers a wide sea.

From fossils they learned that the continent was once warmer and home to abundant life, all clues to its earlier link to other southern continents.

Advances in aviation, icebreakers and other technologies after World War II opened the Antarctic to wider and more sustained scientific research. The United States and about a dozen other countries established permanent living quarters, supply depots and research facilities, the infrastructure for year-round living and increasingly ambitious research projects.

Now, from coastal ice shelves to the 10,000-foot polar plateau, from subglacial mountain ranges to pristine lakes sealed under ice, Antarctica is one vast international laboratory for research in sciences as diverse as astrophysics and climatology, geophysics and oceanography.

Looking ahead, the National Academy of Sciences has just published a study, “Future Science Opportunities in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean,” identifying key questions that should drive research there in the next 10 to 20 years.

The report’s principal recommendations focused on researching the continent’s role in global climate change.

Robin Bell, a senior research professor at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory who participated in the academy study, called attention to the report’s conclu-

sion that a greater knowledge of rising temperatures and melting ice in some parts of the continent “will allow scientists to better predict” climate everywhere else.

“Antarctica is most critical to understanding the global climate system and creating models for predicting changes in the future,” Bell said.

The National Science Foundation asked the academy to prepare these recommendations as guides in deciding which projects to support with grants. The government agency is spending $67.4 million this year on Antarctic projects.

Since the advent of satellite imagery in the 1970s, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have gathered much of the data calling attention to the continent’s involvement in climate change.

Scott Borg, director of the NSF division of Antarctic sciences, said the new guidelines highlight research “we think is going to be important in at least the next five years” so that, if governments are to respond to the consequences of global warming, they will have “the best science possible to inform their decisions.”

Changes in the ice sheet, which covers roughly 97.6 percent of the continent, is the subject of new research along the lines of academy recommendations. An international team of researchers, financed by the NSF and NASA, will travel by helicopter this month to the remote Pine Island Glacier’s ice shelf. The glacier, Borg said, “has begun to flow more rapidly, discharging more ice into the ocean, which could have a significant impact on global sea-level rise over the coming century.”

In addition to insights into earth history, scientists still find much to be learned from and about Antarctica itself. The academy report noted the seals, whales and penguins native to Antarctica have evolved physi-

matic, 2 percent cost of living bumps would apply only to the first $24,000 retirees receive from the system. Con-

ologies adapted to the extreme environment, and this “could hold the key to understanding and preventing a host of illnesses and conditions that plague humans, such as heart attacks, strokes and decompression sickness.”

For years, Russians have been drilling through the ice to Lake Vostok, the largest of more than 140 subglacial lakes on the continent. They may finally break through next year to collect a sample of water presumably supersaturated with oxygen. If there is life in the water, it evolved in cold darkness and under high pressure over millions of years. Any sign of life in Vostok may strengthen the prospect of finding life on Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus, which appear to have under-ice seas of liquid water.

At the finish Amundsen spent an extra three days before leaving the South Pole. He and his men — Helmer Hanssen, Sverre Hassel, Oscar Wisting and Olav Bjaaland, the one who took the classic picture of the other four at the pole — wanted to make sure they were really there, at the pole exactly. The Americans Frederick Cook, in 1908, and then Robert Peary, a year later, claimed to have reached the North Pole, but the evidence they reported was disputed even then, and especially ever since.

Before leaving, the party pitched a black tent as near to the actual pole as they could calculate. In the tent, Amundsen left spare equipment Scott might need and a letter addressed to King Haakon of Norway. It was his report of triumph. In a separate note, he asked Scott to deliver the letter to the king, if the Norwegian party failed to survive the return trip.

These two things Amundsen did while at the pole, double checking where they were and recording the story of a deed done, seemed in character.

Of course, Amundsen made it back to his base in 99 days, 10 fewer than expected; of his 52 dogs, 11 had survived. The other dogs, weakened over time, were sacrificed for meat to sustain the remaining ones and the men.

And Scott?

If Scott had returned alive, and the Amundsen party had not, it would presumably have been in character for Scott of the century-old legend to have stayed in character, too. He would have done the sporting thing. The news would have been delivered to the King of Norway that his subjects were the first to reach the South Pole.

ger believes that eliminating COLAs on amounts above $24,000 would have little effect on individual retirees, but save the state millions.

He is also hoping to stabilize the PERS account, which is funded by a combination of employer contributions and investment profits. When the stock market goes down, contributions from public employers must rise to fill the gap.

“This is a … returning problem,” Conger said. “Every time there is an economic downturn, revenue becomes more scarce, demand for services goes up, and at the same time PERS funds fall in value.”

One way to reduce the system’s volatility is to create a reserve fund when times are good, he said. Conger acknowledges that it will be difficult to change the PERS system, especially during a short session.

Conger’s second bill would apply to contractors who don’t have any employees. It would allow them to change their licensure requirements in order to avoid the mandated purchase of worker’s compensation insurance.

Rep. Gene Whisnant, RSunriver, said he will introduce bills that “promote transparency.” The first would require the PERS Board to reveal the size of the system’s unfunded liability prominently. The number would be featured on the Oregon Taxpayers Transparency website. Whisnant said everyone should know the size of the unfunded liability, yet even he’s had a hard time finding out what it is.

He is also introducing legislation that would require state agencies that rely heav-

Mental health Continued from A1 “I would still find that such a notification, even just to the (local public safety council), is the result of unwarranted fears of people with mental illness,” Joondeph said.

The safety councils that would be notified under the latest proposal are composed of law enforcement officials and citizens. The state decided to notify these councils, instead of neighbors, in order to create a single siting process for all mental health treatment homes, according to Oregon Health Authority spokeswoman Karynn Fish.

A 2009 law already requires the state to notify these councils about the proposed development of residential facilities for patients found guilty except for insanity by the courts.

“I think there also was concern about whether (notification of neighbors) was legal under federal anti-discrimination laws,” Fish said.

Oregon’s Addictions and Mental Health Division currently lacks a formal process to identify treatment home sites.

The two treatment homes that opened last year in Bend serve patients diagnosed with serious mental illnesses who come from the state hospital, are at risk of hospitalization or cannot live on their own without

ily on federal funds to come up with plans to shrink or reorganize, which would be used in the event that the federal funds disappear.

“Two bills that address transparency and government accountability — two of my favorite subjects,” Whisnant said.

Rep. John Huffman, R-The Dalles, plans to introduce a bill that would establish a Dec. 31, 2012, sunset for Measure 67, a legislative referral approved in January 2010 that raised corporate taxes.

In addition, says Huffman, the bill would simplify the taxes and lower them. “It’s more business friendly.”

Huffman’s second bill would raise the income threshold for those who qualify for rural housing subsidies.

It would also ease restrictions for developers building rural housing, making such projects more appealing.

Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, will try to revive a bill that would expand the state’s minor-in-possession law to include kids using controlled substances. The proposed law would classify the infraction as a violation rather than a crime and provide “an opportunity for intervention and behavior modification,” she said.

Telfer is also working to change the way businesses can use revenue from industrial bonds. Right now, she said, companies must devote such bond money to fixed costs. She’s working with state Treasurer Ted Wheeler to allow industrial bond money to fund research and development. She believes such a change will attract new businesses to the area.

supportive services. Each home has five beds, and state law prohibits cities and counties from requiring treatment homes with up to five residents to obtain special permits or go through a public hearing process before they open. The federal Fair Housing Act prevents discrimination against people that limits where they can live.

The state’s latest proposal would create a policy to notify the local public safety councils of all proposed residential treatment facilities and give them 60 days to respond with suggested changes to the facilities.

“At this point, the (local public safety coordinating council) is the body of community folks that we’ll be working with, and through, with regard to any kind of community notification,” said state Forensic Services and Housing Coordinator Tony Guillen.

The state has asked treatment home operators to review and comment on the document by Dec. 23. Staff also has asked local public safety councils to review the proposal and submit any comments by Friday, according to an email from Darcy Strahan, residential programs and services manager for the state Addictions and Mental Health Division.

Libyan army, militia clashes in Tripoli

By Liam Stack New York Times News Service

TRIPOLI, Libya — Efforts

by Libya’s transitional government to assert its authority over the capital were marred over the weekend, after members of a powerful rebel militia exchanged fire with soldiers in the fledgling army, leaving two people dead.

The clashes, which began when the Libyan National Army’s highest ranking officer attempted to speed through a militia checkpoint, underscored the continued inability of Libyan authorities to organize

— or control — the thousands of armed men who fought for months against Moammar Gadhafi in ad hoc units that have proved enduring.

The fighting does not bode well for a campaign by the National Transitional Council, Libya’s post-war interim government, to persuade militias from other areas to leave the capital by Dec. 20. The militiamen poured into Tripoli as it fell to rebel forces in August, and hundreds of heavily armed men have lingered, staking out territory and occasionally skirmishing with one

another, despite officials’ pleas to quit the city.

From the earliest months of the Libyan uprising, rebel leaders have been trying to craft a unified army from the remains of Gadhafi’s badly fractured military. In July, those efforts suffered a setback when the rebel force’s chief of staff, Gen. Abdul Fattah Younes, was assassinated in Benghazi, amid suspicions over his loyalties.

As a top security official under Gadhafi, Younes had been responsible for the detention and torture of countless Libyan dissidents.

Mark McClain / For The Washington Post

In a Washington, D.C., tattoo removal salon, Ken Saler erases a homemade flower tattoo that was inked on Lizeth Pleitez at a party in her teens.

Tattoos Continued from A1 “I was only 18. It was a homemade tattoo done at a party,” says Lizeth Pleitez, 30, who quickly dries her eyes.

Her voice is shaking. “I wasn’t thinking about what it meant, you know? Little did I know it meant something — like people calling it a ‘tramp stamp.’

I’m a Pentecostal, and the body is a temple. And I felt really ashamed.”

According to the Pew Research Center, more than 40 percent of Americans between the ages of 26 and 40 have at least one tattoo. Getting a tattoo, once the province of sailors rather than suburbanites, is so mainstream that tats are inked at the mall and seen on everyone from Middle American mothers to Hollywood starlets.

Perhaps not surprisingly, a parallel trend is emerging: tattoo removal, with dozens of businesses and training schools opening across the country. Some are headed by entrepreneurs such as Ryan Lambert, who has a Harvard degree and launched a tattoo-removal training school at New Looks Laser College in Houston. He also manufactures tattoo-removal lasers.

In Washington, Ken Saler, a 61-year-old, semi-retired real estate maverick has reinvented himself. His Advanced Laser Tattoo Removal office sits above a Baskin-Robbins ice cream store and has a steady stream of customers, all trying to dial back their everlasting tributes.

“We have a client who has ‘Steve’ tattooed on her chest.

But now she’s marrying Dennis,” says Saler, whose bright white office features framed Grateful Dead posters and a print of Norman Rockwell’s “The Tattooist,” in which a heavily tatted-up sailor is having his sixth romantic con-

Dads Continued from A1 Rob Flowers, father of a Buckingham first-grader, loomed over a table of kindergarten students Monday as the children worked on holiday drawings. The students, eager for his attention, pointed out features of their drawings, from a Santa beard to a fast sled.

Flowers, smiling, was clearly enjoying himself.

quest’s name scratched off his arm, and a seventh inked on, with an evil-looking needle.

“It was such an underserved market,” says Christian Slavin, 54, who has an MBA from Harvard and owns Zapatat in suburban Washington, which opened in September. “The difference between the regret rate and the removal rate is huge.”

While older lasers burned off the skin, Slavin’s new model interacts only with the ink and “makes it shake and makes it break,” he says. But it still hurts — it feels like hot rubber bands snapping against your skin, most removers say — and often is more painful than getting a tattoo.

During a recent week, Saler’s appointment book included distraught mothers dragging their daughters in; exgang members with street tats who don’t want to be killed; professional women who are applying for office jobs; and African immigrants who want to get their tribal markings removed.

With a Washington location, his office draws aspiring CIA and FBI agents, along with other law enforcement operatives. If they go undercover, they can’t risk being identified by their tattoos.

As it happens, Saler is the product of a fresh start. When the real estate market crashed, he was looking for a growth industry and heard about tattoo removal. He took a twoweek course to become a certified laser specialist at Rocky Mountain Laser College in Colorado, and he invested in a Quanta Q-Plus laser, which has a $90,000 price tag. The laser is on wheels and looks a little like a photocopy machine with a probe attached.

His Facebook page advertises “Tramp Stamp Tuesdays” and $50 ring-finger tattoo removals after a breakup.

On a rainy Tuesday, Wayne Stokes, 34, arrives. He’s on his sixth session of a removal that might take up to 25.

He has tattoos on his face, neck, hands and chest. Both eyes are encircled by a black leopardlike Maori-inspired design, which is based on the tattoo sported by boxer Mike Tyson. The tops of his hands spell out S-U-F-F-E-R-I-N-G when he holds them side by side. The left side of his neck says “Life,” the back of his neck says “Is,” and the right side says “Pain.”

He started getting tattoos when he was 16. He says he grew up in rough neighborhoods in Baltimore, suffered abuse at the hands of his father and was threatened outside his home, too: by drugs, by peers on the streets.

“Subconsciously I was creating an image to keep people at bay and away from me. I wanted to look tough,” he says.

He’s gone through a lot of therapy. He works as a cook, but when the tattoos are off, he wants to mentor abused kids.

Now that the painful decision to get rid of the tattoos is over, the physical pain begins.

He prays in the bathroom for strength. He gets into the chair and squeezes a ball as the laser hits his skin, turning parts of it red and then frosted white as the ink crystallizes into smaller particles that will be removed by his body’s immune system over the next few weeks. The laser emits a green light, and the room smells a little bit like burned hair.

Saler uses a hose — known as the “Zimmer Cryo cooler” — to blow air onto the skin and deaden the sensation.

“Each time, I get (part of) it removed, it’s like I can exhale,” Stokes says. “Sometimes I do dread coming in. But it’s the end result.

“I want to look in the mirror and see myself again.”

Until hearing about the Watch D.O.G.S. program, Flowers rarely volunteered at the schools of his two other children. Since late October, though, he has spent three full days at Buckingham.

Flowers said children greet him by name and often offer up a high-five.

“I feel like I’ve done something with my day,” he said.

As Flowers moved between tables, kindergarten teacher

Janet Steele paused to speak about the program’s impact.

Both Steele and her students look forward to visits from dads, she said. Having a father in the room means a lot to her students, even if it is not their dad, Steele said.

“A lot of my guys don’t have a positive male role model in their lives. These dads help provide that,” Steel said.

In China, it’s Canada time for the pulls out panda census of Kyoto

By Barbara Demick Los Angeles Times

SANHE, China — If pandas weren’t so darn cute, we wouldn’t be up in the clouds at the edge of a mountain ravine slick with moss and mud, clinging for life to shoots of bamboo.

And get this: There is almost zero chance that we’ll actually see a panda. We keep our eyes on the ground, not just to keep from falling, but because the best we can hope for is to discover panda droppings (and even the chances of that aren’t so hot).

“To be honest, I’ve been working in these mountains for 20 years and I’ve never seen a panda in the wild,” says Dai Bo, 43, a wildlife biologist with China’s Forestry Ministry who’s wearing a camouflage jacket and hiking boots and has a zoom-lens Canon around his neck — just in case.

Dai is leading a six-person team through the fog-shrouded mountains of Sichuan province to conduct the first census in a decade of China’s endangered panda population. Although Dai’s specialty is predatory birds, all wildlife researchers are being pressed into service whether they love pandas or not — and one does sense a certain panda fatigue.

“If you’re in Sichuan province, you’ve got to study pandas,” Dai says with resignation.

The last survey, conducted in 2000-01, showed just 1,596 pandas living in the wild in China.

Since then, China’s breakneck growth and construction of roads, railroads and utility lines have driven the panda population into isolated mountain enclaves, where they are vulnerable to inbreeding and starvation.

Over the next year, more than 100 people will fan out across 12,000 square miles of treacherous mountain passes in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, stalking the giant panda or its droppings.

On a recent day, a handful of the census workers convene 120 miles southwest of Chengdu in the mountain village of Sanhe.

After a night in an unheated guesthouse with concrete floors, the workers divide into groups. Dai’s team takes off in a four-wheel-drive vehicle, bouncing down a dirt road to the base of a mountain called Daping, part of the Xiangling range.

Underfoot, the ground is dense with moldering wood and moss. The slopes are lush with firs, cedar, palm and ficus and plenty of good things to eat: wild kiwis, hazelnuts and fire berries from the pyracantha bush. But pandas prefer bamboo, which they consume in copious quantities.

Panda droppings are pale green and look a little like bundles of twigs. When the team finds them, a junior researcher accompanying Dai does a maneuver that any U.S. dog owner would recognize, grabbing it with his hand inside a plastic bag that he then turns inside out and ties shut. With a handheld GPS device, the team also records the precise locations where excrement is found.

Each panda’s droppings are a signature, varying according to how thoroughly the animal chomps the bamboo. Back at the lab, researchers extract and measure the stalks of bamboo. By studying the samples and their locations, the scientists can get a rough idea how many pandas are in a particular area.

Protocol

New York Times News Service OTTAWA, Canada — Canada said Monday that it would withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol, the 1997 treaty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Under that accord, major industrialized nations agreed to meet targets for reducing emissions, but mandates were not imposed on developing countries like China, India, Brazil and South Africa. The U.S. never ratified the treaty.

Canada did commit to the treaty, but the agreement has been fraying.

Participants at a U.N. conference in Durban, South Africa, renewed it Sunday but could not agree on an accord to replace it.

Instead, the 200 nations represented at the conference agreed to begin a long-term process of negotiating a new treaty but without resolving a core issue: whether its requirements will apply equally to all countries.

The decision by Canada’s Conservative Party government had long been expected. A Liberal Party government negotiated Canada’s entry into the agreement, but the Conservative government has never disguised its disdain for the treaty.

In announcing the decision, government officials indicated that the possibility of huge fines for Canada’s failure to meet emissions targets also had played a role.

“Kyoto, for Canada, is in the past,” the environment minister, Peter Kent, told reporters shortly after returning from South Africa.

War nearly over, Obama says Iraq won’t stand alone

By Ben Feller The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Eager to put the long and divisive Iraq war to rest, President Barack Obama declared Monday “those days are over” with the last American troops heading home, but he pledged the U.S. would remain committed to the fledgling government they leave behind.

He and Iraq’s leader somberly saluted America’s war dead at Arlington National Cemetery.

“A war is ending,” the president said, standing with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki at the White House.

U.S. troops are leaving “with honor and with their heads held high,” said Obama, who strongly opposed the war as a candidate for the White House.

The last American troops are to be out of Iraq by Dec. 31. Thousands of others are still in Afghanistan.

Just 6,000 remain in Iraq, down from 170,000 at the war’s peak in 2007.

The withdrawal will cap a war in which nearly 4,500

Workers unload wastewater from natural gas drilling rigs at a disposal well site just north of Guy, Ark., earlier this year. A string of tremors in Ohio, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas have raised the notion that efforts to unlock natural gas from shale rock, a process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, are the cause.

Weak quakes rattle nerves in shale gas-producing areas

By Henry Fountain New York Times News Service

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Until this year, this Rust Belt city and surrounding Mahoning County had been about as dead, seismically, as a place can be, without even a hint of an earthquake since ScotsIrish settlers arrived in the 18th century.

But on March 17, two minor quakes briefly shook the city. And in the following eight months there have been seven more — like the first two, too weak to cause damage or even be felt by many people, but strong enough to rattle some nerves.

“It felt like someone was kicking in the front door. It scared the stuffing out of me,” said Steve Moritz, a cook who lives on the city’s west side, describing the seventh quake, which occurred in late September. It was the strongest one, with a magnitude of 2.7.

Nine quakes in eight months in a seismically inactive area is unusual. But Ohio seismologists found another surprise when they plotted the quakes’ epicenters: Most coincided with

the location of a 9,000-foot well in an industrial lot along the Mahoning River, just down the hill from Moritz’s neighborhood and 2 miles from downtown Youngstown.

At the well, a local company has been disposing of brine and other liquids from natural gas wells across the border in Pennsylvania — millions of gallons of waste from the process called hydraulic fracturing that is used to unlock the gas from shale rock.

The location and timing of the quakes led to suspicions that the disposal well was responsible for Youngstown’s seismic awakening. As the wastewater was injected into the well under pressure, the thinking went, some of it might have migrated into deeper rock formations, unclamping ancient faults and allowing the rock to slip.

As the United States undergoes a boom in the production of gas from shale, hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has come under fire from environmentalists and others for its potential to pollute the air and contaminate drinking water.

But the events in Youngstown

— and a string of other, mostly small tremors in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, British Columbia and other shale gasproducing areas — raise the disquieting notion that the technique could lead, directly or indirectly, to a damaging earthquake.

Scientists say the likelihood of that link is extremely remote, that thousands of fracking and disposal wells operate nationwide without causing earthquakes, and that the relatively shallow depths of these wells mean that any earthquakes that are triggered would be minor. “But still, you don’t want it to happen,” said Mark Zoback, a geophysicist at Stanford University.

Officials with D&L Energy, the Youngstown company that has been disposing of the waste, and with the Ohio government say there is no proof of a link between the disposal well and the earthquakes. “Right now we can’t definitively say yes or no,” said Tom Tugend, deputy chief of the gas and oil division of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. But the state has asked the company to

plug the bottom 250 feet of the well with cement as a precaution, to ensure that it is sealed from the deeper rock where the earthquakes are thought to have occurred.

State officials are also working with researchers from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, a part of Columbia University, who have installed four temporary seismometers within several miles of the well. If more earthquakes occur, the instruments will help determine location and depth more precisely. “It should help us make the case one way or another — is this related or not,” said John Armbruster, a Lamont seismologist.

C. Jeffrey Eshelman, a spokesman for the Independent Petroleum Association of America, said that as far as the industry was concerned, “it has been impossible to determine whether hydraulic fracturing has anything to do with” the quakes like those in Ohio.

“But it’s in our best interest to understand what’s going on,” he said. “Although they are minor incidents, they are still something to be taken seriously.”

Allegations that an investigator working for News of the World had not only illicitly gained access to the voicemail of 13-year-old Milly Dowler in 2002, but had also deleted some of the messages to make space for more to be left that might contain scoops, prompted widespread outrage in Britain over the summer. The Dowler fami-

ly said that the deletions, which occurred when she had not yet been discovered murdered, had given them false hope that their daughter was alive.

Shortly after the allegations appeared in The Guardian, Murdoch’s British media arm, known as News International, shut down the 168-year-old News of the World.

President Barack Obama and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki shake hands as they meet Monday in the Oval Office of the White House.

Syria urges local voting; U.N. puts deaths at 5,000 New York Times News Service BEIRUT — The Syrian government called Monday for voters to turn out for local elections that it portrayed as good-faith reform efforts, but activists said that most citizens, observing a second day of a general strike, rejected the polls as irrelevant to a country in such turmoil.

Opposition groups report-

ed at least 18 deaths in clashes between security forces and army defectors, and the U.N. human rights commissioner, Navi Pillay, said the death toll now exceeded 5,000.

Pillay briefed the Security Council on Syria and then told reporters that at least 300 children were among the dead, according to The Associated Press.

Murdoch paper may not have deleted missing girl’s voicemail New York Times News Service LONDON — The tabloid newspaper that Rupert Murdoch’s media empire shut down amid a hacking scandal may not have been responsible for a key episode in the scandal, the deletion of voicemail messages from a missing schoolgirl’s cellphone, a police lawyer said on Monday.

Americans were killed, roughly 32,000 were wounded, hundreds of billions of dollars were spent and the American political debate was consumed until economic woes brought attention back home.

Obama had already said weeks ago that he was pulling all troops by year’s end, leaving his appearance with al-Maliki to focus instead on what’s next — a relationship both leaders described as rich in shared interests, from education to oil, politics to security.

To the Iraqi people, who still face massive challenges in rebuilding a society ripped apart by nearly nine years of war, Obama said: “You will not stand alone.”

The United States, in fact, needs the help of Iraq in dealing with the volatile Middle East and two of its neighbors in particular, Iran and Syria.

In getting out of Iraq, Obama emphasized that “our strong presence in the Middle East endures” and the United States won’t soften in its defense of its interests.

EUROPEAN CRISIS

IN BRIEF AT&T to delay T-Mobile trial WASHINGTON — AT&T Inc. is considering whether to throw in the towel on its attempt to buy T-Mobile USA for $39 billion, which would leave its smaller rival searching for another strategy to compete in the ever-tougher wireless world.

AT&T, the Justice Department and T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom AG were granted court approval Monday to halt all proceedings in the government’s antitrust case against the acquisition for a month while the two wireless carriers figure out what to do next.

AT&T said it and Deutsche Telekom would use the time “to evaluate all options,” and both agreed with a court order to decide “whether they intend to proceed” with any transaction.

AT&T insisted that it still was committed to the deal. But the chances that it will be completed are shrinking by the day amid strong opposition from government regulators and a September deadline to close the complex transaction, said Jeffrey Silva, a telecommunications analyst with Medley Global Advisors.

Celebration succumbs to concern amid ratings agencies’ warnings • Moody’s, Fitch say eurozone deal likely won’t stave off recession

By Liz Alderman New York Times News Service

PARIS — The initial euphoria surrounding the deal by European leaders last week to strengthen the eurozone quickly gave way to a darker mood Monday, as ratings agencies warned that the European sovereign debt crisis remained at a critical stage that policymakers would find

difficult to contain.

In European trading and on Wall Street, shares fell sharply after Moody’s Investors Service and the Fitch Ratings warned that European efforts to protect the common currency had not resolved the immediate dangers of a significant economic downturn and troubles in the banking system.

By taking a “gradualist” ap-

proach to forging a true fiscal union among the 17 eurozone members, politicians were imposing additional economic and financial costs on the region, Fitch warned.

“It means the crisis will continue at varying levels of intensity throughout 2012 and probably beyond, until the region is able to sustain broad economic recovery,” the

agency said.

Moody’s said it was putting the sovereign ratings of EU countries on review for a possible downgrade in the coming months. Standard & Poor’s issued a similar warning last week, saying it could lower the sterling credit ratings of Germany and France and cut other countries’ credit scores as Europe headed into a probable recession next year.

Recession crimped incomes of top 1%

By Jason DeParle New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Hold the condolence cards, but the recession cost the rich.

The share of income received by the top 1 percent — that potent symbol of inequality — dropped to 17 percent in 2009 from 23 percent in 2007, according to federal tax data. Within the group, average income fell by about a third, to $957,000 in 2009 from $1.4 million in 2007.

Analysts say the drop largely reflects the stock market plunge, and most think top incomes recovered somewhat in 2010, as Wall Street rebounded and corporate profits grew.

Still, the drop alters a figure often emphasized by inequality critics, and it has gone largely unnoticed outside the blogosphere.

Roomier off-roading may come with tighter regulations

Intel warns of lower revenues Intel announced Monday that its revenue this quarter would be reduced to $13.7 billion from $14.7 billion because floods in Thailand had sharply cut the world’s supply of disk drives. Without the drives, manufacturers will make fewer personal computers and computer servers, which means fewer semiconductors will be needed.

Although the impact of the flood on the hard drive industry has been known since October, PC makers have told Intel over the past two weeks that they would need fewer chips.

ick Thompson is looking to expand the ranks, coverage area and business model of his Bend-based private security company, Patrol Services International.

His employees cruise the streets at random times in official-looking vehicles.

They also have contracts to patrol at specific sites, such as Redmond Airport, McMenamins Old St. Francis School, the Hooker Creek Cos. LLC facility, St. Charles Bend and Mount Bachelor Village. They even work in some state parks.

Their goal? To prevent crimes, not to make arrests. If backup becomes necessary, the company’s patrol officers call local law enforcement.

N

The basics What: Patrol Services International Where: Bend Employees: 30 Phone: 541-617-9999 Website: www.patrolservices.org

Some Patrol Services officers are armed, Thompson said, but they have never used their guns. Most officers wear black uniforms with badges and shoulder patches, similar to but slightly different from the type worn by many law enforcement agencies.

Thompson said he served in numer-

ous police roles — officer, detective, vice, plainclothes, pilot, marine patrol — for more than a decade, mostly for the police department in West Sacramento, Calif.

He was injured twice and left the police in 1994, he said.

He sold cellphones in Sacramento and retired. He lived on an island. He became a commercial pilot. In 1999, he moved to Bend, where he worked as a general contractor and became aware of “a real demand for professional security,” he said.

So he started Patrol Services in 2005.

It has grown from one employee — just Thompson himself — to 30, mostly in Central Oregon, he said. Training includes restraint and de-escalation techniques, Thompson said.

They started out decades ago as handy vehicles for farmers and builders to haul things like lumber and fertilizer.

But now, with as many as six seats, roll bars, seat belts and cushy bucket seats, so-called side-by-sides have become the luxury sedan of off-roading. They are so popular with families and baby boomers that they are on pace to soon outsell their smaller cousins — all-terrain vehicles.

Side-by-sides are invigorating the power sporting equipment industry that has otherwise been clobbered by years of economic malaise and safety concerns. Side-by-side sales are growing roughly 15 percent this year, industry analysts estimate.

But with success has come scrutiny — and a probable showdown between safety officials and recreational enthusiasts.

While side-by-sides appear to be far less prone to accidents than ATVs, federal officials are pushing toward mandatory regulations to make them safer.

With Christmas less than two weeks away, the toy industry has no runaway hit — leaving many toy shoppers bored and complicating how stores sell holiday inventory.

“We are not seeing people clamor for any single item,” Stephanie Lucy, vice president for toys at Target, said by email.

The hitless season has retailers stocking less, leaning on classic items rather than new ones and possibly discounting less in the final days before Christmas. And with no Tickle Me Elmo or Zhu Zhu Pets to draw crushing crowds to the toy aisles, most retail-

ers are being careful not to get stuck with unsold toys.

“As retailers look at consumer confidence numbers, they are skeptical about consumers’ willingness to spend this holiday season, and they are trying to avoid getting caught with too much inventory,” said Josh Green, chief executive of Panjiva, a supply-chain data company.

LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer, Hot Wheels Wall Tracks, Lalaoopsy Silly Hair dolls and some Lego sets are sold out or hard to find in many parts of the country, but that is mainly because of consistent demand rather than growing waves of frenzied shoppers.

A day in the life of an Apple store

By Patrick May San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The cast members are ready. The curtain goes up. It’s showtime at the Apple Store in Palo Alto, Calif.

Here comes our first contestant for Stump the Genius Bar Geniuses: Bill Mainzer, of Portola Valley, Calif. He’s clutching a MacBook Pro the size of a radiator. He looks worried. “I’ve got a glitch,� he says. “It keeps shutting itself off.�

It’s 10 a.m. on a recent weekday. For the next 11 hours, the 40 or so “Specialists� and “Creatives� and “Geniuses� employed inside this glassskinned jewel box on University Avenue will eagerly welcome the Bill Mainzers of the world, cheerfully put out one fire after another, soft-sell first-timers on the mesmerizing features of the new iPad 2, and essentially play starring roles in one of the biggest blockbusters in the annals of American retail.

In a rare outbreak of media-friendly perestroika, Apple offered a Mercury News reporter and photographer a close-up day-in-the-life look at what some consider the chain’s flagship, since it’s literally down the street from former CEO Steve Jobs’ home.

As anyone who’s ever stepped inside one of Apple’s 360 outlets knows, these are not simply stores. They are products in their own right, with all the design dazzle of a MacBook Air. They kick out sales revenue that would make most shopkeeps salivate. And they are a destination, a veritable Tahiti for geeks.

On this day in downtown Palo Alto, the Apple Store will also serve as day-care center, lonely hearts club, homework haven, temporary homeless shelter, startup incubator and recording studio.

It’s 10:10 a.m. and in walks

Apple stores by the numbers • Total number worldwide: 360 • Total number of employees: Approximately 36,000 • September quarterly retail revenue of all stores: $3.6 billion • Average revenue per store in that quarter: $10.7 million • Number of visitors to all Apple stores over time: more than 1 billion Source: Apple

Francesca Freedman, of Menlo Park, Calif., trying to swap the white iPhone 4S she bought for her boyfriend “because he wants a black one.� Alas, black ones are apparently in short supply. So despite the window poster boasting “The Perfect Gifts are Perfectly Easy to Get,�

Freedman will still be trying to make that swap seven hours later when she returns to wait in the nightly queue for available phones.

Still, smiling specialists like Anush Venkatesan and Bianca Antonio stand ready this morning to help, or at least offer moral support to haggard Apple fans. A clutch of customers gathers at the Genius Bar, where Apple’s best and brightest turn loose their inner Sherlock Holmes on flummoxed customers.

Shortly after 1 p.m., visiting Swiss banker Isabelle Montegut, 38, is asking how she can set up an iTunes account based in the United States and access it from Geneva. She says she appreciates Apple’s “secrecy and security. We try to do the same in banking: be discreet.�

No problem there. Apple is as notoriously secretive about its retail operations as

it is about its products. Curious about the size of the store?

Apple won’t release square footage. Wonder how many customers come through here each day? Apple won’t say.

How many staffers are there?

No comment. Asked “Do you like working here?� one young clerk looks at the press handler for guidance, then answers: “I can’t answer that.�

After a mid-afternoon lull, the store comes alive. Of the 40 stools, only a few are unoccupied. Sarah Westbook, owner of Palo Alto’s Piccadilly Pets, is at a horseshoeshaped desk in the back where classes sometimes are given, working with an Apple specialist on setting up her new online — and top-secret — business. “I come in a couple times a week,� she says, as a clerk fetches a cup of water for her 9-year-old Weimaraner, Luna, the Apple fandog at her side. “I love the people who work here, and they love my dog.�

As the daylight fades, the neon WAXING and MASSAGE signs from across University Avenue reflect in the Apple Store windows, mixed in with Santa Claus chatting away on a super-sized iPad window display.

And while Freedman returns as instructed, hoping to swap that white iPhone for a black one, and 8-yearold Holden Johnson takes a workshop on recording his own music using GarageBand (“I want to learn whatever the teacher teaches us,� he says), darkness settles over Palo Alto, and the Apple Store comes aglow like a cathedral lit up with a million candles.

From one end of the shop to the other, all but a few of the 50 customers seem enraptured, sitting or standing silently, their heads bowed in reverence toward the iPads and iPhones they hold in their fingers like rosary beads.

Consumers look to holiday sales to find bargains for themselves

By Eve Mitchell Contra Costa Times

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Bargain-hungry holiday shoppers are picking up packages that won’t go under the tree — something for themselves.

It was sparkling earrings and a purple pin that caught the eye of Sue Anderson, a 57-year-old retired schoolteacher. “It was 70 percent off. I kind of splurged on buying them for myself,� Anderson said of her shopping trip to Kmart in San Mateo, Calif., where she bought gifts, too — more jewelry, and for the neighbors, containers of popcorn.

Shoppers like Anderson are fueling a growing trend that has retailers whistling “Happy Holidays.� In 2004,

nongift purchases accounted for 12.7 percent of total holiday spending, according to the National Retail Federation. This year, that is expected to hit 18.5 percent. “What we are seeing specifically this year is many consumers held off on making purchases throughout 2011,� said Kathy Grannis of the National Retail Federation. “People were delaying certain apparel purchases or using their old DVD or VHS player and not opting to buy a Blu-ray. Most consumers know that the holiday season is the best time of year to get the best deals on most items, from apparel to cookware and small appliances and even large appliances.�

Six out of 10 shoppers will

take advantage of holiday sales in 2011 to pick up nongift items, such as clothing, electronics and more, the survey found.

Pam Goodfellow of BIGresearch, which conducted the federation’s survey, said consumers have learned that some of the best deals come along in the holiday season. “Something like a coffee maker. Maybe it’s too good an offer to pass up. I don’t think people are going out buying luxury items like cashmere.

It’s more like small appliances and those types of things,� she said. “We have more people getting into this activity of watching for sales and discounts during the holiday season and spending more as a result.�

T F Amazon criticized for price comparison app

Volunteers at the Globalrevolution.tv channel, considered the main channel of the Occupy Wall Street movement, watch the Livestream feed in New York last month.

Live-streaming video sites get boost from occupiers

By Jennifer Preston New York Times News Service

Brad Hunstable started Ustream, an online video platform, with a fellow West Point graduate back in 2007 to help American troops overseas communicate with multiple friends and family members at the same time. It was not long before its uses extended well beyond the military.

Celebrities, politicians and organizers of events like rock concerts and high school football games soon discovered that streaming services offered by Ustream and the other leading startup provider, Livestream, could help expand their audience online. Now, the huge amount of user-generated live video produced by the Occupy Wall Street movement has delivered what could be a watershed moment for these companies, potentially helping them gain the audience needed to become viable businesses.

With cellphones, iPads and video cameras affixed to laptops, Occupy participants showed that almost anyone could broadcast live news online. In addition, they could help build an audience for their video by inviting people to talk about what they were seeing.

“It is a very immersive, interactive experience,” said Hunstable. “Something is changing when a person with a cellphone video camera can command an audience around the world.”

Max Haot, the chief executive and a co-founder of Livestream, recalls getting the cold shoulder when he was pursuing investors three years ago. Some of them flatly dismissed the idea of live streaming, he said, telling him online users preferred to watch video on their schedule, not at appointed times.

“The point that everyone missed was that people are not watching live streaming the way they watch a four-minute video on YouTube,” said Haot, whose New York-based company now has about 120 employees around the world.

“They are watching so that they can be there and connect with an event.”

A growing audience A live chat window runs alongside the video player on both Livestream and Ustream, giving users an opportunity not only to watch events as they unfold but comment on them, too. Since the first Occupy protest in Lower Manhattan last September, people from all over the globe have jumped into the conversation.

As a result, traffic to the sites has soared, and so has the amount of time spent viewing videos. For example, viewing time in the U.S. on Livestream totaled 411 million minutes in October, up from 270 million minutes in July, according to Dan Piech, product manager for video and social media at comScore, an analytics measuring firm.

Ustream is now also used by big brands like MTV and CBS News, which turned to

Max Haot, left, the chief executive and a co-founder of Livestream, works with lead designer Micah Sivitz at the company’s offices in New York. The amount of user-generated live video produced by the Occupy Wall Street movement could represent a watershed moment for the online video platform websites Livestream and Ustream.

its Ustream channel Thursday to stream live video about the Virginia Tech shooting from its local CBS television affiliate.

On Ustream, Hunstable said, there are now about 700 Occupy-related channels, with 70 percent of the live streaming content created on mobile phones and about 89 percent of it viewed on mobile phones. Traffic to the site has increased by 14 percent since the movement began producing content.

Televising the revolution The number of Occupy channels on Livestream is now about 120. Among them is the Globalrevolution.tv channel.

It operates out of a makeshift television studio in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn and is considered the main channel for the movement. Vlad Teichberg, 39, a former derivatives trader on Wall Street, is among the volunteers who aggregates live streams from the movement’s activities around the world. He first started live streaming from the protests in Madrid last May and then began using the technology to stream live video from Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan and from various other protest sites. “We will cover what the mainstream media will not cover and then propagate it using social media,” he said.

This week the channel delivered live coverage from several Occupy-related events around the country, including a march in Washington and a campaign to fight foreclosures in Los Angeles and New York.

In Boston, Occupy organizers positioned 15 smartphones to help deliver live video from their tent city as a way for people to closely monitor police who have been trying to move the protesters.

Both Livestream and Ustream officials say they simply operate platforms and are not supporting the movements. They have made some adjustments on their platforms and provided some extra resources to accommodate Occupy movement video. Haot removed advertising from the Occupy channels after some brands complained that they did not want their ads appearing next to streaming video of

protesters.

Are they profitable?

Despite the increased volume and popularity, live streaming services face considerable challenges before becoming highly successful enterprises, analysts say.

“No question that what has been taking place in the world has done quite a bit to propel the adoption of services on platforms like Ustream and Livestream,” said Dan Rayburn, principal analyst for Frost & Sullivan and executive vice president of StreamingMedia.com. “But from an investor’s standpoint, there are a lot of questions to be asked.”

Rayburn said one of the most important questions for live-streaming services was whether they would be able to take their platforms to the next level and manage costs in an ever-changing landscape that includes YouTube, which has not yet fully embraced live streaming. “Can they scale the business fast enough while reducing their internal costs so they can make money?” he asked.

Haot said he expected revenue for Livestream would be about $25 million in 2012, double the amount generated this year. Hunstable predicted that Ustream’s revenue, which he described as being under $20 million this year, would also double in 2012. Both sites derive the bulk of their revenue from advertising. They also offer premium channels without advertising for monthly fees and full production services if a brand or an event organizer wants a skilled team to stream an event or a red-carpet premiere.

Livestream and Ustream both said that they were looking at adding new features in the coming weeks aimed at increasing traffic, content and revenue. But they also said they recognized that competition could come anytime from new startups or from YouTube, which has an average of 161 million views monthly in the United States, according to comScore. So far, YouTube has only tentatively embraced live streaming video services.

In April, it made it available to a limited number of participants in its partners program.

LOS ANGELES — Amazon.com Inc. and the nation’s bricks-and-mortar retailers are in combat again, this time over the online giant’s pricecomparison tool that enables shoppers to quickly check out prices at rival merchants.

An uproar over the Price Check shopping application, used on mobile devices, erupted after Amazon launched a promotion for Saturday that gives customers 5 percent off (up to $5) on up to three qualifying items on its site if they check the prices of those goods on the app while browsing at a physical store.

Retail trade groups denounced the offer, saying it unfairly encouraged shoppers to check products at stores and then buy them online. Sen. Olympia Snowe, RMaine, entered the fray, calling the promotion “anti-competitive” and “an attack on Main Street businesses that employ workers in our communities.” Amazon defended the device as pro-consumer and not anti-small business.

The skirmish is the latest dispute between Amazon and traditional retailers, which have complained for years that tax laws often give online retailers an unfair advantage in states where they are not required to collect sales tax. The fight was especially heated this year in California before the state and Amazon agreed that Amazon would start collecting sales tax next September.

Last month, the company appeared to reverse its position on collecting state sales taxes nationwide with it support of the Marketplace Fair-

“Small businesses are fighting every day to compete with giant retailers, such as Amazon, and incentivizing consumers to spy on local shops is a bridge too far.”

— Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine

chains, said the app unfairly encourages shoppers to use bricks-and-mortar shops as “showrooms” to check out a product before buying online.

“This is an underhanded way to send shoppers online,” said Jason Brewer, the association’s spokesman. “This app allows Amazon to exploit a loophole that allows them to sell the exact same product as brick-and-mortar stores and not charge sales tax.”

Consumer benefits ness Act, a bill in Congress.

The legislation would allow states to levy sales taxes on goods sold there, regardless of where the online retailer is located.

Crying foul Amazon’s Price Check, promoted in recent months, has users identify a product by scanning its bar code, w its picture or saying or typing in its name. The app then pulls up prices offered through Amazon.

Snowe urged Amazon to stop the promotion being offered Saturday. “Small businesses are fighting every day to compete with giant retailers, such as Amazon, and incentivizing consumers to spy on local shops is a bridge too far,” she said in a statement.

Retail groups agreed. A spokesman for the Alliance for Main Street Fairness said “no retailer can compete” with Amazon because as an online retailer, the company is not required to collect sales taxes in many states.

The Retail Industry Leaders Association, which represents many big-box retail

In its defense, Amazon said Friday that the app is mostly intended for shoppers who want to compare prices at major retail chains. The app also features prices from third-party sellers — including more than 2 million businesses of all sizes — that sell through its website.

“The goal of the Price Check app is to make it as easy as possible for customers to access product information, pricing information and customer reviews, just as they would on the Web,” the company said in a statement.

Mark Reback, a consumer advocate with Consumer Watchdog in Santa Monica, Calif., said the Amazon app could benefit shoppers. “It could definitely be good price competition for consumers,” he said.

Meanwhile, the campaigns to shut down Amazon’s promotion will probably just give the retailer free publicity, Rice said.

“If the senator had just let it go and not said anything, then it wouldn’t get the press and headlines,” Rice said.

“It’s attracting people’s attention to the sale.”

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Patrol Continued from B1 This year, Patrol Services began franchising, and now has operations in Columbus, Ohio, and Orlando, Fla. Thompson wants people elsewhere, the world over, to start Patrol Services International franchises of their own.

Running the business from his home in Bend, Thompson, 51, spends his days trying to gain more business for Patrol Services. He peruses requests for proposals for private security services from cities, states, even federal government agencies. He travels to different states and continents to give presentations on the company.

Toys Continued from B1 In fact, more than half of parents recently surveyed by UBS and America’s Research Group said they felt there was no must-have toy this year, and more than one-third said it was hard to find toys and gifts because nothing was new. Both responses were higher than those in the survey last year, when Squinkies, Paper Jamz and Zoobles were among the most talked-about new toys.

Part of the doldrums this year stems from retailers’ conservatism. After loading up on toys in 2010, major stores like Wal-Mart “ended up with a pretty substantial toy overhang that had to be liquidated in the January time frame,” said Eric Johnson, director of the center for digital strategies at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business, who studies the toy industry.

Retailers have cut down on toys overall — imports of toys in August and September, important months for building holiday inventory, dropped by 9.8 percent compared with last year, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by Panjiva.

Yet not every product is being cut. Shipments of Legos into the United States in August, September, October and

Q: You’ve What do you mean?

November rose about 155 percent from the same period last year, while those of Hot Wheels rose 43 percent and Barbie merchandise rose 17 percent, according to an analysis of Customs data by Panjiva.

Meanwhile, shipments of the heavily marketed new items such as Angry Birds toys or Lalaoopsy dolls — none of which has amounted to a breakthrough hit, though they are hard to find — came in at much lower levels than last year’s hot toys.

“Couple that with the increase in shipments of the classics, and it’s a sign that regardless of the talk, when retailers are actually placing orders, they’re doing so with a very classic mind-set,” Green said.

“One sign of caution is betting on products that people know and understand.”

Healthy sales The good news for many retailers is that the smaller supplies are leading to early sellouts, and, in some cases, higher prices. Gerrick Johnson, an analyst with BMO Capital Markets, said his rough tally shows that in December, WalMart has had 12 of the most popular toys in stock less than 40 percent of the time, while Target had them on shelves 50 percent of the time, and Toys R Us had them in stock about 60 percent of the time. (Toys R

crime prevention, such as making arrests?

We certainly don’t want to have to do that, but we do have the capability, of course. We would prefer to maintain, you know, the preventive measures. That’s really our focus. We’re not trying to replace the police. We’re not trying to be police. We’re trying to offer the most effective crime-prevention tool there is.

And that’s what we’ve been

security, and it’s growing, and that’s what we’re promoting.

Our concept here is on a worldwide level. So the India contract would be a person who would own a private-security company for Patrol Services International throughout India, for example, or Dubai. We’ve also had interest in Puerto Rico. Every state in the union, basically, has expressed some interest.

Us said last week that it was bringing in new supplies of top sellers, like the LeapPad, in time for Christmas.)

With such low inventory levels, Johnson said, “as we get closer to the holidays, you’ll see less and less price promotion.”

Adding to the higher prices, Wal-Mart does not seem to be as aggressive about low prices on toys this year, said Eric Johnson of Dartmouth. “Three or four years ago, Wal-Mart was coming out year after year with these jaw-dropping prices, and just pounding everyone,” he said. But this year, Wal-Mart, the nation’s biggest retailer, does not appear “to be using toys as a loss leader,” he said.

Tara Raddohl, a spokeswoman for Wal-Mart, said by email that it keeps “a close eye on other retailers and adjust our prices proactively for customers so they don’t have to do homework to get the best prices.” However, she said, unlike last year, inflation on the manufacturing side has led to “some price increases.”

it discontinued in 2006, saying that its shoppers were on such tight budgets that they needed to pay a bit at a time for gifts like toys and electronics.

Company executives said the program has been more popular than expected, particularly in toys.

Target acknowledged that its toy business had been affected by the Wal-Mart program.

“Wal-Mart’s layaway program has certainly hurt us in November,” said Kathryn Tesija, Target’s executive vice president for merchandising, in a call with analysts last month. “Toys is off to a slow start, and I think that’s going to be a bit of an uphill climb for us this year, although we’re still optimistic about the rest of the fourth quarter.”

Though some products are sold out, and some have higher prices, Johnson of BMO Capital Markets said that overall, retailers had set their expectations so low that they had created a self-fulfilling prophecy.

“Even if consumers do show up and spend, we think there’s little opportunity to capture upside, as both retailers and manufacturers have been quite cautious in terms of procurement of toy inventory,” he said.

He predicted toy sales would be about flat this year compared with last, adding, “that’s about as weak as it gets for the toy category.”

Layaway business Even without giant price cuts, Wal-Mart’s toy sales have eaten into those of Target and other retailers because of another sign of the economic times: layaway.

In October, Wal-Mart brought back layaway, which

Europe Continued from B1 On Monday, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France acknowledged that a loss of the nation’s triple-A rating could come soon but said it would not pose an “insurmountable” difficulty. Sarkozy has made it a priority of his coming presidential campaign to keep the country’s top credit rating, and he repeated a pledge to reduce the nation’s debt and deficit without cutting wages and pensions.

Sarkozy’s rival, the Socialist candidate Francois Hollande, said Monday that he would try to renegotiate the terms of the Europewide deal struck Friday if he were elected president in May, saying the pact would stifle growth.

With markets and ratings agencies expressing mild disappointment with the deal, the spotlight returned to the European Central Bank, the only institution with overall responsibility for maintaining the health and integrity of the euro.

Amid last week’s political theater, the ECB took a crucial step to help prevent the biggest European banks from succumbing to an increasingly volatile economic and market environment by agreeing to provide banks with unlimited funds for up to three years.

“That reduces the possibility of a Lehman moment quite substantially,” Jacob Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, said during a conference call on the crisis.

While that may ease the pressure on the financial system, any further downgrade in the credit rating of European governments could raise the fever of the crisis by making it more expensive for the weakest countries to service their debts. It could also make it more difficult for banks in Italy, Spain and even France to get credit from other banks, causing a potential pullback

in lending to consumers and businesses at a time when economic growth is already being squeezed.

In the lightning-fast world of financial markets, the efforts

by Sarkozy, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and other eurozone leaders appear to be moving too slowly to satisfy the demands of investors.

While the summit meeting in Brussels on Thursday and Friday marked a major step toward greater fiscal union among the core countries, the architecture will take months, even years, to construct.

In the meantime, the decision to embrace significant new spending cuts and tax increases across much of Europe at a time of economic weakness is expected to undermine growth in the immediate future, analysts said.

Carl Weinberg, the chief economist at High Frequency Economics, said some European banks that were already selling assets to keep enough money on hand were also curbing lending.

“We are now moving off the charts in terms of normal procedures, and moving into a grim time for European banks,” Weinberg said. “This is not a good time to be thinking of European bank shares because a contraction of credit has already begun and will get worse.”

Indeed, despite the political will to bring the eurozone under more centralized management, ratings agencies, banks and businesses are increasingly considering the possibility that countries could default, or leave the currency union.

Moody’s, in its assessment Monday, said the crisis was “in a critical and volatile stage.” It warned that the longer policymakers took an incremental approach to the crisis, “the greater the likelihood of more severe scenarios, including those involving multiple defaults by euro area countries and those additionally involving exits from the euro area.”

Lowe’s faces backlash after pulling ads from ‘All-American Muslim’

By Shan Li Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Home improvement giant Lowe’s Cos. continues to come under heavy criticism from activists, some politicians and customers after pulling its ads from a reality TV show featuring American Muslims.

The North Carolina company decided to stop advertising on the show “All-American Muslim,” on Discovery Communications Inc.’s TLC channel, following complaints by the Florida Family Association, a conservative Christian group that lobbies companies to promote “traditional, biblical values.”

The association praised the move, but the decision sparked immediate backlash. California state Sen. Ted Lieu, a Democrat, called the move “bigoted, shameful and un-American.” A petition on SignOn.org that calls on companies to keep advertising on the show has gathered more than 13,000 signatures. Activist and actress Mia Farrow joined the battle in a Twitter post and urged a boycott of Lowe’s.

In its defense, Lowe’s spokeswoman Karen Cobb said the company had a “longstanding commitment” to diversity and pulled the ads

Wealthy Continued from B1 By focusing on the top 1 percent, the Occupy Wall Street movement has made economic fairness a subject of raucous street protest and ubiquitous political debate.

“It’s very interesting that this has become such a big topic now when the numbers are back to where they were in the 1990s,” said Steven Kaplan, an economist at the University of Chicago’s business school. “People didn’t seem to be complaining about it then.”

In 2009 the average income of the top 1 percent, adjusted for inflation, fell below its 1998 level, but remained well above where it was in 1990: $662,000.

A history of inequality While the protests follow the worst downturn since the Great Depression, inequality has been growing for three decades, driven by both economic and political forces. Globalization created larger markets for those with scarce talents but hurt less educated workers by pitting them against cheap foreign labor. New technology also hurt unskilled workers, by replacing many with machines.

Unions declined, eroding blue-collar bargaining power.

The financial industry grew, with paydays heavily weighted toward the top. Corporate culture accepted the growing gap between the executive suite and the factory floor, and pay for chief executives soared.

Falling tax rates on the highest earners added to the net income divide, by allowing top earners to keep more of their pay and increasing their incentive to maximize it.

In the decades after World War II, by contrast, the average income of the top 1 percent grew only marginally faster than inflation and significantly slower than middle-class incomes. That combination caused inequality to decline throughout much of the 1950s, ’60s and early ’70s.

As recently as 1980, only about one-tenth of the nation’s pretax income went to the top 1 percent. By 2000, that share had grown to about 22 percent. It slumped to about 18 percent in 2003, after a market crash, only to rebound by 2007 to levels not achieved since the Roaring ’20s.

The wrong villain?

Pointing to the recent declines at the top, Kaplan argues the Occupy protesters have accused the wrong villain by focusing on inequality, which he called an inevitable byproduct of robust growth. “If you want to reduce inequality, all you need to do is put the economy in a recession,” he said. “If you

only after the show became “a lightning rod for people to voice complaints from a variety of perspectives.” Other companies had also removed their ads from the show, she wrote in an email.

“All-American Muslim,” which debuted last month, follows the day-to-day lives of five Muslim families in Dearborn, Mich., a suburb of Detroit with a large Muslim population.

Cast members talk about how their faith affects their actions and choices.

The conservative Christian group, based in Tampa, Fla., called the show “propaganda” that “hides the Islamic agenda’s clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values.” The organization began an email campaign urging companies to yank their advertising off the show.

The group did not respond to an email Monday requesting comment on the reaction to its effort.

Laurie Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the Discovery Network and TLC Network, declined to comment on whether any companies besides Lowe’s had pulled their ads. “We stand behind the show ‘AllAmerican Muslim,’ and we’re happy the show has strong advertising support,” she wrote in an email.

Side-by-sides Continued from B1 Side-by-sides have been linked to an estimated 160 deaths and nearly twice as many injuries since 2003; ATVs, by comparison, are associated with 800 deaths and 130,000 injuries a year.

An estimated 530,000 sideby-sides and 10.2 million ATVs were in operation by the late 2000s.

Unlike ATVs, which have handlebars and an open saddle, side-by-sides — the seats are beside one another — have a steering wheel and a roll bar. They reach speeds upward of 60 mph, and in some states, no driver’s license is required.

“As a utility vehicle where people are using them on the farms, they are perfectly appropriate,” said Donald Mays, senior director of product safety at Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports magazine. But without rigorous stability tests, he said, “The concern that I have is these things can flip over, particularly when they are used on uneven terrain.”

Industry officials maintain that the vast majority of the accidents are caused by human error. And they worry that the government will require them to make sideby-sides so wide and so low to the ground to decrease the chance of rollovers that they will no longer be able to go on trails.

“Their mandatory standard is unrealistic from an off-road vehicle standpoint,” said Steve Nessl, marketing manager for the ATV and side-by-side group at the Yamaha Motor Corp.

Robust demand want the economy to do well, as all of us do, then you’ll get more inequality.”

But Harry Holzer, an economist at Georgetown University, argues much of the recent growth at the very top reflects insider privilege instead of real productivity.

“The notion that the really high earners are earning it has become very questionable,” he said. “Look at outrageousness of the damage they imposed on the rest of the economy and the cost being born by middleincome Americans.”

“There’s been rising income inequality all over the world, but nowhere as much as in the United States,” he said.

Critics of the Occupy Wall Street movement say the falling incomes at the top show that concerns about inequality are outdated.

“We don’t want to spend years focused on income inequality, only to learn that the financial crisis fixed it for us,” wrote Megan McArdle in a blog post for The Atlantic, called “The 1% Ain’t What It Used to Be.” “Get a time machine, Occupy Wall Street,” wrote James Pethokoukis, a blogger at the American Enterprise Institute.

But Jared Bernstein, a former Obama administration official, said that after previous market-related dips, income inequality only soared to new highs.

“If you believed the inequality problem had been solved in the early 2000s, you would have been proven terribly wrong,” said Bernstein, now of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Structural forces While top incomes probably rose in 2010, most analysts doubt they returned to their 2007 peak, since stocks remain about 20 percent lower. Kaplan argues that new restraints on Wall Street will keep the income shares of the rich below those earlier levels, a view Bernstein disputes.

“The structural forces driving inequality remain very much in place,” he said.

The income shares of the top 1 percent became a common metric of inequality after a 2003 study by the economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanel Saez, which traced trends back to 1913. It peaked at 24 percent in 1928, just above its 2007 level. Saez, of the University of California, Berkeley, sides with those who think the rich will soon get richer.

“Barring an economic cataclysm ahead, top earners will be recovering faster than the other 99 percent,” he wrote in an email. “The inequality problem is not going away and won’t until drastic policy changes are made (as happened during the New Deal).”

The regulatory debate comes as manufacturers rush out new models to meet the robust demand. Polaris Industries, which markets a fleet of side-by-sides including a two-seat, 88-horsepower model, posted record profits in its most recent quarterly earnings. Its shares are up 53 percent since the first of the year.

“I went from selling

Chris Ox drives his Polaris side-by-side in Cochecton, N.Y., with Joe Tinari. While side-by-sides appear to be less prone to accidents than ATVs, federal officials are pushing for stronger safety regulations.

roughly two to four sideby-side vehicles in a year to now I sell four a month,” said John Resciniti, the owner of the Motorcycle Mall in Belleville, N.J., which began selling Polaris side-by-sides a year ago. “It’s insane.”

Dave Crocker, senior partner at Power Products Marketing, which tracks the industry, said sales of sideby-sides, which cost about $7,000 to $17,000, fell with other recreational vehicles in 2009 but rebounded in 2010 even as the rest of the industry’s products — like ATVs, snowmobiles and dirt bikes — continue to lag.

This year, he said he expected roughly 240,000 sideby-sides to be sold in the United States; a decade ago, about 100,000 side-by-sides sold each year. Recreational users account for roughly a quarter of sales, he said, with the remainder bought by hunters, farmers, fire departments and for other utility uses.

By comparison, 330,000 ATVs were sold in 2010, and sales have declined from 10 to 30 percent in recent years, according to the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association. Some analysts, including Crocker, believe that

side-by-side sales have already surpassed ATV sales.

The Rhino effect Some version of the sideby-side has been around since the 1980s, but the early models were relatively slowmoving utility vehicles. In the late 1990s, however, more people began using the vehicles for recreation, a trend that was accelerated when Polaris pushed past the 25 mph speed limit in 1998 with its Ranger model.

But the real propellant was the introduction, in 2003, of the Yamaha Rhino, the first side-by-side designed for recreation. In its peak year, 2007, Yamaha sold 44,000 Rhinos, Crocker said. Other manufacturers, including Polaris, soon followed with their own recreational models.

“It enabled people to buy these things and go on these incredible trails, and your son or your wife or your girlfriend can sit next to you,” he said.

Safety issues But the Rhino became the subject of hundreds of lawsuits and a 2009 recall to address safety concerns, primarily rollovers that have led

to injuries and some deaths.

Among the victims was Ellie Sand, 10, of Ohio, who was killed when a Rhino she was riding in flipped in 2007.

“They are very narrow, they are top-heavy, and unfortunately they give the visual perception that they are safer because you see a steering wheel, you see a roll bar, you see a seat belt,” said her father, John Sand. “The concept is a nice concept. I just think they need to do things to make them safer.”

Yamaha officials maintain that there is no defect.

“We see nothing wrong with the Rhino and have defended it aggressively,” Nessl, of Yamaha, said.

He noted that his company had won all 10 lawsuits that had gone to trial; Yamaha officials declined to say how many other lawsuits filed against them had been settled.

Even so, Inez Tenenbaum, the chairwoman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, said her agency had rejected drafts of voluntary standards proposed by the industry as too weak.

“We have to make sure there is stability and standards that prevent rollovers,” she said.

LOCAL BRIEFING Sheriff: Phil’s Trail man not a threat The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office says there is no reason to worry about reports that a suspicious man was making women feel uncomfortable at the Phil’s Trail complex last week.

The man two women reported to the Sheriff’s Office has been identified and determined not to be a threat, said Sheriff’s Sgt. Vance Lawrence.

Lawrence said he received calls Monday from people who interacted with the man while exercising in the area. The callers said complaints about his behavior were exaggerated or inaccurate.

A post circulating on Facebook on Thursday warned women about a man in his forties or fifties who had been communicating with female trail users in a disturbing manner. The post claimed the man had tried to lure lone women onto side trails and had followed women even when they asked him to leave.

But Lawrence said the man’s intentions were misinterpreted. “He appears to be a decent guy, very talkative,” Lawrence said. “He just didn’t know when to end the conversation.”

The man is not new to Central Oregon, but does speak with an accent. He has been exercising in the area for several years.

Lawrence said the man was unaware his behavior had troubled some people. “He never said or did anything in an inappropriate manner,” Lawrence said. “I’m sure he will adjust his activities.”

Redmond ice rink to open Friday Redmond’s ice rink will officially open Friday at 5 p.m.

The rink is located in the Seventh Street Plaza, just north of the Redmond Chamber of Commerce building.

After a ribbon-cutting ceremony, there will be a screening of “The Polar Express.” Skating will be free, and skates will be available to rent.

The 4,000-square-foot rink will be open seven days a week through the end of March, if weather permits. Free skate hours will take place from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Friday through Sunday.

During these hours, customers must bring their own skates because the rink will not be staffed.

The rink will be open for a fee — and skate rentals — from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The rink will also be open, with skate rentals available, from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Entrance fees during these hours will be $1, and rental skates will be available for $3.

A family rate of $12 is available for up to six people living in the same household.

Also, a reduced rate will be available for families through the Redmond Area Park and Recreation District’s scholarship program.

The opening of the rink is dependent on weather conditions.

Bend bank robber strikes again?

• Police identify a man seen robbing a Portland bank as the same suspect sought in local heist

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

The man wanted for robbing a bank in Bend last week is now suspected in a second bank heist, this time in Portland.

Portland police were called to a robbery at 10:35 a.m.

Monday at a Key Bank branch on Northeast Broadway Street. Bank employees said the man told them he had a weapon, demanded money, then fled on foot.

According to a news release, detectives reviewed surveillance photos and identified the robber as David Christopher Glass, of Boise, Idaho — the same man who is suspected of holding up a U.S. Bank branch on Northeast Third Street in Bend on Wednesday. Glass, 42, was caught on video surveillance when he allegedly entered the bank at about 12:15 p.m. and told employees he was armed, then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

A subsidiary of St. Charles Health System is suing one of its former doctors, Eric Amend, for failing to repay more than $80,000 in loans.

Amend, an OB-GYN, worked at a Redmond clinic owned by the health system, which includes three hospitals in Central Oregon as well as several outpatient clinics.

According to court documents, the health system loaned Amend $95,000 in 2010 to help pay relocation expenses from North Bend and cover the cost of a type of malpractice insurance. The loan was set to be forgiven over a period of years, contingent upon Amend providing physician services and retaining admitting privileges at St. Charles Redmond.

The health system contends Amend owes $79,424,00 on the original loan plus $6,637.34 in accrued interest.

St. Charles terminated its employment agreement with Amend in March, according to court documents. The documents do not say if the termination was voluntary.

St. Charles sent two letters to Amend, according to documents, demanding repayment of the balance of the loan.

St. Charles did not comment on the lawsuit, saying through spokeswoman Lisa Goodman that it does not comment on pending litigation.

murder in the second degree after shooting and killing Delmer Davis, 24. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

In July, Barney was a passenger in a car driving through a residential neighborhood on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.

A man standing in a driveway threw a rock at Barney’s car.

Barney attempted to shoot the man with a 9mm handgun.

A stray bullet from Barney’s gun went through the back of a nearby vehicle, killing Davis, who had been sitting in the car holding his infant son.

Barney turned himself in at the Warm Springs Police Station later that day.

Barney will serve five years of supervised released after serving his sentence in prison.

Waylon McKie Weaselhead, 23, of Warm Springs, pleaded guilty to three counts of assault with intent to commit murder, and was sentenced to 12½ years in prison.

Weaselhead was involved in a high-speed car chase in May during which he shot at a three pursuing Warm Springs tribal officers.

At the time of the crime, Weaselhead was a designated member of the Native Gangsta Tribe street gang.

Weaselhead’s federal sentence will coincide with a 15-year state sentence he is serving for his involvement in attempting to kill Madras Police officers.

greater sums to physicians recently.

Within the past few years, St. Charles loaned three oncologists, Drs. Bill Martin, Steve Kornfeld and Rob Boone, $235,000 each for “certain expenses,” according to tax filings. Each physician had previously worked at Bend Memorial Clinic, which requires physicians to sign contracts that include non-compete clauses. Those agreements prohibit physicians who leave the clinic from practicing in the area for some time period unless they pay a sum of money to buy out their contracts.

Those loans are being forgiven contingent upon employment, according to the tax filings. All three physicians remain employed with St. Charles Health System.

Bank robber Continued from C1 Glass was identified first as a person of interest, then declared a suspect one day later. A warrant has been issued for his arrest on suspicion of second-degree burglary.

Portland police said Glass was last seen near Interstate 84 and Northeast César E. Chávez Boulevard in Portland. They believe he could be headed for the Eugene area.

Glass has been seen driving a white 2007 Buick Rainier with Idaho license plate number 1A2X030.

He is described as 6 feet 7 inches tall and 250 pounds, with graying hair and blue eyes.

During the Portland robbery, he allegedly wore a red baseball cap, a green jacket and jeans. He is alleged to have worn similar clothing during the Bend robbery.

In an interview last week, Bend Police Lt. Paul Kansky said Glass is thought to

be a transient.

“We are working in conjunction with and communicating with the Portland Police Bureau and the FBI,” Kansky said Monday after the Portland bank robbery.

Portland police are asking anyone who sees Glass or his vehicle to call 911. Anyone with information about the Bend bank robbery should call Bend police at 541-6937911. Anyone with information about the Portland robbery should contact Portland Police Detective Shawn Doble at 503-823-3886.

O N 2 men sentenced for porn made with teenager The Associated Press MEDFORD — Two Portland men described by prosecutors as longtime sexual predators received heavy prison sentences Monday for taking video of sexual encounters with a 15-year-old boy that one of them met over the Internet.

A federal judge sentenced Brian Costa to 25 years in prison and John Dougal to 21½ years..

“The nature and circumstances of this offense are as serious as have come before this court,” Judge Owen Panner said, according to a report in the Medford Mail Tribune.

Costa, 53, pleaded guilty to contacting the boy over the Internet and luring him into videotaped sexual encounters with Costa and Dougal in Medford. Costa was the director of community relations at Tuality Healthcare in Hillsboro at the time of his arrest.

Dougal, 42, pleaded guilty to a child pornography charge. He was the former office manager for the Oregon State Bar Attorney Assistance Program in Portland.

According to court documents, Costa met the boy in 2010 on an Internet site designed to bring together older men and boys for sex. He met the boy for sex in a Medford hotel, taking photos and video of the encounter, and later arranged for another meeting that included Dougal. The men took turns having sex with the boy and taking photos and video.

The boy’s mother found out and went to police, who later searched Costa’s and Dougal’s homes. Investigators found video of the encounters on Costa’s computer, as well as thousands of images of child pornography, and evidence he traded pornography with others.

Investigators found photos of Costa and Dougal abusing several other boys, ages 9 to 15, over the past 10 years.

• Police arrest 2 armed suspects claiming to be demonstrators

Protesters block a truck from entering Gate 5 with a picket line at a Port of Portland terminal.

Demonstrators shut down half the terminals at Port of Portland

By Nigel Duara The Associated Press

PORTLAND — The Port of Portland shut down two of its four terminals on Monday after police arrested two people and seized weapons in the hours before a demonstration by the Anti-Wall Street movement.

Security concerns were raised when police found the suspects in camouflage clothing with a gun, sword and walkie-talkies. who said they were doing reconnaissance.

Kari Koch, a spokeswoman for Occupy Portland, said the two people taken into custody were not part of the demonstration.

“We do not send out folks with guns,” Koch said.

Police did not identify the two suspects or say what charges they might face.

Limited operations continued throughout the day at the port’s two other terminals.

Operators of Terminal 6, one of the facilities shut down, planned to keep it closed until 8 a.m. today due to concerns about worker safety, said Mark Price, assistant manager of International Container Terminal Services Inc. in Oregon.

The decision to shut down

“In trying to force a public debate ... I think the movement does some damage to the people that it’s ostensibly trying to (help).”

— Gov. John Kitzhaber

the two terminals was relayed to about 200 workers from the longshoremen’s union, which said it sympathized with the goals of the Occupy movement but disagreed with shutting down operations that would deprive its members of pay.

Port officials erected fences and told workers to stay home, port spokesman Josh Thomas said, and the full economic impact of the move was not yet known.

“We’re talking about tenants, customers, truckers, rail providers, a pretty far-reaching group, and most of these people are not employed by the port,” Thomas said. “To say it’s going to be X amount of dollars right now is impossible.”

A couple of hundred protesters blocked semitrailers from making deliveries at the two

major terminals.

Businesses that lease space from the port at two other terminals were conducting limited operations.

About 100 people stood at Terminal 5, with 12 police officers on bicycles between the protesters and the street.

Passing trucks occasionally honked their horns, and a few that tried to enter the terminal were let through.

Protesters said the trucks allowed to pass were not serving one of the organizations targeted by the demonstration.

Protesters set their sights on two West Coast companies — port operator SSA Marine and grain exporter EGT. Gov. John Kitzhaber said almost 5,000 Oregon companies depend on exports and employ thousands of people who are part of the so-called 99 percent that the Occupy Wall Street protests purport to represent.

“In trying to force a public debate — and I cheer the public debate, I think it’s important — I think the movement does some damage to the people that it’s ostensibly trying to” help, Kitzhaber told reporters at a gathering of business and political leaders in Portland.

Albany turns down $300K federal grant

Guardsmen return from Afghanistan

ALBANY — The city of Albany may turn down a federal grant of nearly $300,000 because it would cost the local treasury an additional $65,000.

Public Works Director Mark Shepard tells the Albany Democrat-Herald the money would have gone to move two traffic signal poles.

That work was supposed to be part of a much bigger project, an $18 million bridge over Union Pacific tracks and road extension to accompany a new PepsiCo plant employing 200 people.

But that development was canceled during the recession.

With the smaller sum, though, the city thought it would at least get started — until it calculated the cost of the job.

Now, Shepard says, the money might have more public benefit elsewhere, and he’s recommended the City Council say no thanks to the grant.

PORTLAND — It’s time for Oregon to get serious about changing the state’s tax code to stabilize funding for schools, health care and other government programs, business leaders said Monday at the annual Oregon Leadership Summit.

A united business community and behind-thescenes talks with labor unions may just provide the momentum to make changes soon, officials said.

“We can’t afford to be throwing rocks at each other with this state in its current condition. We’ve got to pull it together,” said Patrick Reiten, the chief executive of PacifiCorp who chairs a committee that writes the “Oregon Business Plan.” The document recommends policy changes that could improve the economy and the business climate.

The fight over Measures 66 and 67 — which raised taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations — brought businesses together in opposition, Reiten said. The unity still stands, and the rancorous relationship with labor unions has eased with the passage of time, he said.

Proposals for specific tax-code changes were scarce. But business interests have long complained that Oregon relies too heavily on the personal income tax to fund government services, causing revenue to soar during boom times and tank during recessions. Some have said that capital gains taxes are too high, or that the “kicker” law — which automatically sends surplus revenue back to taxpayers — prevents the state from effectively saving money for rough patches.

Efforts to change tax laws along those lines have failed.

‘You have to want it’ “I just don’t think the key people want it that badly,” Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, told the gathering of business and government officials.

“I don’t think this organization and the unions want it that badly. You have to want it, you have to taste it.”

A man killed by an explosion in Canby did not live at the house where the blast occurred, police said Monday.

The Clackamas County medical examiner determined that Ivan Velasco Rodriguez, 31, died of head trauma from the Sunday evening blast, police said.

Police said the victim lived in the area.

Police Chief Bret Smith said investigators can’t say yet whether it was a bomb or perhaps old dynamite that exploded spontaneously.

The blast occurred around 6 p.m. Sunday, about 75 feet from the house, near the driveway.

The house is in an older subdivision of Canby, a city of around 13,000 people about 20 miles south of Portland.

The explosion was being investigated by the Metro Explosive Disposal unit, which includes police in Portland and federal agencies, Smith said.

Investigators spent Monday gathering evidence to reconstruct the blast.

Protesters set up a picket line at a Port of Portland terminal Monday as part of a West Coast “day of action.”

“We can’t afford to be throwing rocks at each other with this state in its current condition. We’ve got to pull it together.”

— Patrick Reiten, chief executive, PacifiCorp

Hanna, R-Roseburg, said changes to tax policy need to be done in conjunction with changes in state spending.

“You still have to put state spending in line with Oregon’s ability of the economy to keep up with it,” Hanna said.

Officials said they were encouraged by improved private-sector job growth, but the new jobs have been partially offset by cuts in the public-sector workforce.

‘A slow recovery’ Oregon’s economic recovery has slowed since the beginning of the year, when positive signs in the job market helped lead economists to deliver a relatively rosy revenue forecast. But economists now project the state will take in $300 million less than they predicted in May, eating up much of the reserves that lawmakers built into the state budget.

That means more cuts are coming to state services when lawmakers meet in February, Gov. John Kitzhaber said.

Some government jobs will be lost, particularly in public safety and social safety net programs, he said.

“There are some hopeful things happening. The job growth will continue, I think it will accelerate,” Kitzhaber said. “But it’s going to be a slow recovery.”

Four Winds is an educational foundation that seeks to preserve Native American traditions. It purchased the county-owned property in 2002 for $120,000.

In 2009, the county agreed to accept interest-only payments for one year.

In 2010, the county lowered the rate to from 8.4 percent to 5.75 percent and added three years to the term of the loan.

In 2011, Four Winds stopped making payments in June, and the foundation now owes the county approximately $3,600 in principal, interest and penalties.

At the end of November, the county was prepared to offer a further cut to 5 percent and an additional nine years, but a lawyer for the group asked for 10 years. Commissioners then asked staff to look again at the loan terms.

It’s abundantly clear that the foundation is unable to complete the purchase of this property. Un-

It’s abundantly clear that the foundation is unable to complete the purchase of this property. Unless there’s a change on the horizon that promises to change that reality, it’s time for both parties to get realistic. less there’s a change on the horizon that promises to change that reality, it’s time for both parties to get realistic.

The county shouldn’t be in the position of repeatedly easing the terms of a loan on a land sale.

It’s at risk of setting a precedent that could cause trouble later when some other debtor can’t pay and wants similar treatment.

It may be time for the county to take back the property through foreclosure.

That said, unless the county has some other good use for the property, it makes sense to seek ways to allow Four Winds to continue to use it for educational purposes, perhaps through a lease agreement.

Court’s decision could cripple timber industry

T

he Georgia Pacific v. Northwest Environmental Defense Center case is a big deal. The decision in the case by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could effectively shut down forestry on private, state and tribal lands.

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, wrote President Barack Obama that the consequences could “bury private, state and tribal forests in a wave of litigation.� Gov. John Kitzhaber, also a Democrat, wanted the U.S. Supreme Court to review the decision.

The Supreme Court took a half step on Monday. The court did not deny nor grant a hearing, but invited the Solicitor General — who represents the views of the U.S. government — to file a brief.

This is a case the court should hear.

The issue is how the Clean Water Act should be applied to regulating water runoff from nurseries, reforestation, thinning, logging and road-building. The policy for the last 35 years has been that states regulate the runoff. The decision won by the Northwest Environmental Defense Center means that will change.

The court’s interpretation is

that every source of runoff on forest roads will have to get an industrial storm water runoff permit.

New roads will need them. Existing roads will need them. To give you an idea, there are hundreds of thousands of miles of existing public and private roads in Oregon forests.

The 9th Circuit’s decision is a lawsuit spawning ground. Each permit application could add to the epidemic of appeals and litigation ruling forest policy.

Not only that, the 9th Circuit’s decision is going to make it harder for the state of Oregon to make money for schools off its state forests. And it’s going to make for delays and threaten the profitability of private forestry on forest lands.

Of course, there are legitimate concerns about clean water. But this case is not a choice between clean or dirty. It’s about how the water should be kept clean.

That Wyden and Kitzhaber are fighting to put this issue before the court should tell you something.

They are both widely considered to be strong advocates for the environment. The 9th Circuit should not be permitted to let forest policy be managed by lawsuit.

My Nickel’s Worth Protest misrepresented

Give jobs to U.S. citizens

The Bulletin “covered the story� of the Occupy Congressional District 2 event on Dec. 5 with such brevity that the reporter failed to report why the occupiers were there.

The short piece stated that the protesters “told his (Greg Walden’s) staff that they would not leave until they had a meeting with the Republican congressman, who was not there at the time.� Well, that certainly sounds unreasonable of those protesters, don’t you think? Except that the statement was completely misleading.

First, the occupiers were obviously not asking Walden to teleport from Washington, D.C., for a personal meeting in Bend. And, they were not asking for “a meeting.� They were asking Walden to schedule a town hall at an accessible location over the holiday recess, a public forum where the people could express their concerns and ask questions.

Our Oregon senators — Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley — since their election, have held public town halls in every county in the state every year. It is not a lot to ask of our congressman — unless he has something to hide.

The message and the request were repeated numerous times throughout the seven hours his constituents spent in his office. Rather than comply, Walden had them arrested. This is a clear example of why the Occupy movement is growing. The 99 percent want to be heard, and they have only their bodies and their voices to speak for them. Unfortunately, it is the 1 percent who have the money and the power to control the message.

Crook County Judge Mike McCabe and commissioners Ken Fahlgren and Seth Crawford should require Crook County government use of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Citizen and Immigration Services E-Verify system.

The importance of Crook County using the system really becomes apparent with Oregon’s unemployment rate in October being 9.5 percent — 177,350 were unemployed.

The county’s October unemployment numbers were at 15.8 percent — 1,268 were unemployed.

Unemployed U.S. citizens or foreign citizens with authorization to work in the country should not have to compete for jobs with a purported 97,000 undocumented foreign national workers illegally in the state.

If all Oregon employers not currently using the E-Verify system were required to use it, Oregon’s unemployment rate would drop dramatically, because all new jobs created in the state would go to those authorized to work in the country.

Currently, 2,227 Oregon employers use the 98.6 percent accurate EVerify system. Twelve of 36 Oregon county governments now use E-Verify — Clatsop, Deschutes, Harney, Jefferson, Lake, Lane, Lincoln, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook and Washington. Ten Crook County businesses presently use E-Verify.

Crook County residents should contact McCabe, Fahlgren and Crawford and ask them to require Crook County government to use the E-Verify system, so that if a job opening becomes available to work for the county, a qualified U.S. citizen or foreign citizen with authorization to work in the country can be

first in line for that job.

Secularized Christmas With the recent concern over the atheist attack on the Nativity scene in Prineville, I really have to ask: Does it matter?

When one looks at what is happening in the country — both politically and socially — one has to wonder why the U.S. is called “a Christian nation� by so many. Food banks are begging for goods to give to the homeless and the poor. The retail stores are doing just fine, however, so I guess that makes up for the condition of the poor and the homeless.

Then I read in an October article that Bob Orlando could not even get the local churches to support him in putting up the Nativity scene. That brought to mind the time when I was trying to find an outdoor Nativity scene. Being short on extra cash, and noticing that few churches had put up Nativity scenes, I called around to see if one had such in a storeroom.

Nope. None even had a set stored away. Try to buy a Nativity scene at Bi-Mart, Walmart, etc. Lots of snowmen, deer, candles — just no Nativity scenes, even the small indoor ones.

Christmas parties are the rage.

Giving gifts that will be useless in six months is habitual.

So, I then wonder why the atheists are having such a fit. Christmas has become a secular holiday, and all they have to do is wait a few more years and there won’t be any Nativity scenes in public view anyway.

The spirit of Christmas is fast dying, and that is what they want.

Execution moratorium another example of party politics

By Kevin Isley t amazes me regularly how our government can be so blatantly arrogant and cosmically incompetent at the same time. In a flash of cameras and publicity in caving to the seemingly endless defenders of the lawless, our governor has chosen to completely ignore the voice of his constituents.

In 1984, by a margin of 75 percent to 25 percent, Oregon voted to keep capital punishment in this state. On Nov. 22, with a voice of arrogance and some ambiguous moral epiphany, our governor chose to disregard the voice of the people of Oregon and imposed a moratorium on all executions during his term. I suggest a moral epiphany as the last two Oregon executions were carried out in 1996 and 1997, which fell during John

I

Kitzhaber’s previous terms. It would seem that his morals were noticeably absent during the prior executions but somehow aroused a conviction in him prior to the planned Dec. 6 execution of Gary Hauge.

Hauge was convicted by a jury of his peers of killing his girlfriend’s mother, Mary Archer, and then subsequently — while incarcerated — killed another inmate in 2003 who was found with 84 stab wounds and a crushed skull. The condemned has currently dropped all of his own appeals and still our governor has decided to take it upon himself to ignore the voice of Oregonians and halt all further executions while he is in office. Apparently the governor was unable to intervene on Hauge’s victims’ behalf.

This citizen is currently a bit chal-

IN MY VIEW lenged by our government. The prior paragraph should be enough to make anyone upset, regardless of which side of the death penalty debate you are on. Whatever your voice, it’s your voice, and it should stand for something. He could have just as easily asked that all death sentences be carried out immediately. And what a firestorm that would have created.

Unfortunately, we tend to turn a blind eye to wrongs committed in our favor.

We have lost our ability to be objective and therefore tend to ignore the world around us in favor of our own views and political correctness.

In perpetuity, our government is a massive failure. It sends guns into the lawless regions of Mexico in the “Fast

and Furious� program and yet tells the American people that more gun control legislation is needed. Those same weapons find their way back into the country on the backs of one of the millions of illegal aliens that the government can’t find and effectively deport. It loans money to Solyndra even though all signs pointed to bankruptcy. The “supercommittee� is a massive failure. The national health care law appears to be headed for the toilet at an enormous cost to taxpayers. A balanced budget hasn’t been passed in over three years, even with a Democratic majority in Congress and the White House.

It even happens at the local level.

The lights at the new Redmond High School appear to be on all night. I go to work at 4 a.m. and come home at 6 p.m. and they appear to all be on. The

school is lit up like an international airport, and yet the breath of knowledge has yet to pass from teacher to student within its walls.

The air is already beginning to swirl with the rhetoric of things to be done differently and great changes to come. The last “change� surrounded himself with career Washington players. I don’t see that as a change. Only by a return to objectivity and the ability to separate fact from feeling can this be fixed. We must recognize incompetence and poor performance for what it is and not how it benefits us or aligns with our views. Very simply, it’s party politics and the same people saying the same things. I can save the suspense and tell you it won’t be a different outcome. — Kevin Isley lives in Redmond.

Laura Ann (Groves) Mason McCord Jan. 31, 1959 - Dec. 10, 2011 Laura Mason McCord, a strong woman living a full life despite contracting breast cancer in 2004, and a recurrence in the brain and spinal fluid in 2010, passed away quietly in the arms of her family on December 10, 2011.

Laura was born in Portland, OR, in 1959, and grew up in Albany, graduating from West Albany High School in 1977. She married Jeff Mason and spent several years in Madras before returning with her children to Albany to secure her RN credentials at LBCC, and her Bachelor of Science Degree at OHSU. Laura managed her education and training while raising her two children, Kelley Mason Adams, now of Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, and Robert Mason, now of Roseville, California, alone never missing a sporting or school event along the way. Laura worked as an operating room nurse, operating room manager, and risk manager at Albany General Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital in Corvallis, St. Charles Redmond, and was most recently Clinical Risk Manager at St. Charles Bend. She was involved in several state-wide and national risk prevention projects, and was to be inducted president of a state-wide association of risk managers on the day her cancer reappeared in 2010.

Laura was involved in new employee education and mock disaster training as well as dealing with adverse medical events, so there are few recent employees in the St. Charles health care system who have not been touched by her work.

Laura was an inspiration to the medical and cancersurvivor communities, refusing to take more than a few days off for surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy in 2004. She even became certified in scuba diving during the treatments, and continued water sports, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, and hiking. Laura walked or ran in the Heaven Can Wait run each spring, and after beating back the cancer in 2004, traveled to Baja California, Cancun, Cozumel, and St. Maartin.

Laura suffered a seizure as a result of a brain tumor in 2010, and after brain surgery, returned to work again. It is a tribute to her dedication that she remained employed and worked when she was able despite complications over the last 18 months.

Laura married Mike McCord on July 16, 2011, and is survived by her father, Larry Groves of Crooked River Ranch; mother and step-father, Lindell and Ernie Johnson of Albany; husband, Mike McCord; children, Kelley and Bob; her grandchildren, Carter Mason, age 5, Kaitlin Adams, age 4, and Avery Mason, age 3; and sisters, Leslie Groves of Falls Church, VA, and Linda Ferrell of Molalla, OR. Two celebrations of life will be held: the first Wednesday, December 14, 2011, at 3 p.m. at the chapel on the second floor of St. Charles, Bend; and the second - Friday, December 16, 2011 at Fisher Funeral Home, Albany, Oregon.

Anti-drug effort shows results in southwest

By Chris Conrad Medford Mail Tribune

By this time in recent years, local police agencies already would have trudged miles into remote forestlands to jerk hundreds of thousands of marijuana plants linked to Mexican drug cartels out of the ground and burn them.

The cartels, police say, are responsible for virtually all of the major marijuana gardens on public lands.

The “cartel grows,� as police call them, are a danger to the public and an environmental catastrophe. Some cartel operations have been booby-trapped and guarded by armed sentinels. Police in Northern California have engaged in gun battles with suspects in large marijuana gardens.

Last year, two Jackson County sheriff’s deputies shot and killed a Mexican national suspected of guarding a cartel garden near Salt Creek in northern Jackson County. The deputies believed the man, who was armed with a shotgun but never fired his weapon, was a threat. A grand jury cleared the deputies of wrongdoing in the shooting.

Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters and District Attorney Mark Huddleston declined to release the names of the deputies involved because they feared retribution from a Mexican drug cartel suspected of being responsible for the growing operation.

In 2010, a team formed to fight suspected drug cartels growing marijuana in Southern Oregon forests pulled 125,787 cartel plants with an estimated value of more than $283 million.

This was in line with previous years, when police from various agencies descended into Jackson County’s forests to destroy cartel gardens that stretched for miles.

93 percent reduction This year, however, the gardens were nowhere to be found. “We’ve only been in two cartel gardens in 2011,�

Winters said. “The number of plants were very low. We saw a 93 percent reduction this year in cartel marijuana in southwest Oregon.�

The cartel gardens were such a problem before 2011 that the sheriff formed the Southern Oregon MultiAgency Marijuana Eradication and Reclamation team, which covers Jackson, Josephine, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Klamath and Lake counties. SOMMER operates on a $600,000 budget, funded mostly by federal grants. The team’s sole purpose is to rid Southern Oregon of cartel gardens.

So, mission accomplished? Not so fast, say law enforcement and civilian authorities on drug cartels.

Local cops throw around the word “cartel� when describing the organizations behind large marijuana gardens. But what exactly do they mean when they describe a criminal enterprise run by a “cartel?�

Chris Gibson is the director of Oregon’s HighIntensity Drug Trafficking Area program, which funnels $3.16 million in federal grant money to nine Oregon counties to help fight drug

“They just moved into a place where there were hundreds of thousands of miles of wildland and not enough law enforcement to cover it all. It’s impossible to patrol that much land, even if you had 100 deputies. This is why this problem is so hard for us to deal with.� — Sheriff Mike Winters, Jackson County

distribution.

Because Interstate 5 runs through Jackson County, it is considered a highly traveled corridor for traffickers moving drugs from Los Angeles to Seattle and beyond. “When we talk about cartels, what comes to mind is seven or eight large drug organizations that operate in Mexico at a given time,� Gibson said. “They are the suppliers for most of the drugs that move into Oregon.�

The National Drug Intelligence Center recently released its report for 2011. In it, the organization describes seven major cartels that are the most active in moving drugs from Mexico to the United States.

Jackson County presence Medford Area Drug and Gang Enforcement supervisor Deputy Chief Tim Doney said it’s reasonable to assume the cartels have a presence in Jackson County. “We have knowledge of specific cartels that have done business in this area,� Doney said. “But we don’t name them publicly because these cases remain open.�

Medford police Lt. Brett Johnson, a MADGE supervisor, said the cartels have a strong influence in the Rogue Valley even though members of the crime organizations are not in the area. “A lot of the folks we arrest here are the ‘expendables,’�

Johnson said. “They are lowlevel dealers with ties to the cartels.�

In fact, Gibson said, he doubts a high-ranking cartel member has ever set foot in Oregon. “You’re not going to find these cartels basing an operation in Oregon,� Gibson said. “You are just going to find their influence and their dope.�

Cartel leaders rarely stray from their home bases in Mexico, according to Winters. “Why would they take the chance in coming up here when they can send underlings?�

Winters said. “It’s like a major corporation. The worker on the line doesn’t know who the big boss is in another city. The cartels keep it that way because they distance themselves from the street dealers, who often get arrested.�

Winters added that the men who guard the marijuana gardens often are paid by cartel middlemen to tend the crops.

They receive a payout at harvest season.

Changing tactics As powerful as Mexico’s large cartels are — and there is ample proof they wield much influence in their country’s government — they are keen on seeking the path of least resistance when carving marijuana gardens into public forestlands.

Over the past five years, lo-

cal agencies scoured southwest Oregon forests looking for the large gardens. The unwelcome heat most likely inspired the cartels to move into areas where they can operate without prying eyes.

One of their new targets is the mountains and vast forests of northeastern Oregon.

In June, 91,000 pot plants were pulled in the state’s largest reported marijuana garden in the Blue Mountains, just outside Enterprise.

Wallowa County Sheriff Fred Steen said his agency has received solid intelligence that the garden was connected to a Mexican cartel. “We won’t name a particular cartel,� Steen said. “But this was a professional operation.

They had sleeping areas, water, irrigation, a cooking area. It was a well-organized camp.�

Winters said the gardens in Wallowa County closely resembled those previously discovered in Jackson County. “They just moved into a place where there were hundreds of thousands of miles of wildland and not enough law enforcement to cover it all,� Winters said. “It’s impossible to patrol that much land, even if you had 100 deputies. This is why this problem is so hard for us to deal with.�

Doney said he expects the cartels will try to creep back into Jackson County in the coming years. The weather and the soil are conducive to growing world-class pot, he said. “There’s just too much money to be made here,� Doney added. “They’ll take every chance they get to make money.�

Just because the marijuana gardens have slowed down doesn’t mean the cartels aren’t cashing in on Jackson County’s drug market.

Since 2005, when Oregon banned over-the-counter sales of cold medicines containing pseudoephedrine, a main ingredient in meth, the local meth lab scene has all but dried up.

The cartels were happy to step in and meet the demand, Gibson said. “I’d say that 97 percent of the meth that comes into Oregon is from cartel-run super labs in Mexico,� Gibson said.

Doney agreed, adding that the cartels have the capital to buy meth ingredients by the ton to produce in these labs.

DOJ’s assessment The U.S. Department of Justice supports MADGE’s claims, saying that the movement of meth from Mexico into the Pacific Northwest is gaining steam.

The agency comes to a bleak conclusion concerning the influence Mexican cartels will have in the Pacific Northwest’s drug market in the coming years.

The agency cites the cartels’ near monopoly of smuggling routes in the U.S.’s Southwest border regions and their ability to “produce (or obtain), transport, and distribute nearly every major illicit drug of abuse in the United States.�

The power of the cartels will not wane anytime soon, despite the governments of both Mexico and the U.S. spending hundreds of millions each year on efforts to fight the cartel influence. “Major Mexican-based (cartels) and their associates are solidifying their dominance of the U.S. wholesale drug trade and will maintain their reign for the foreseeable future,� the Department of Justice said in its report.

Sen. Ron Wyden proposed new legislation Sunday that could bring healthier food options to food stamp recipients and public schools.

During a news conference in the produce aisle of Sherm’s Food 4 Less in Medford, Wyden detailed the Fresh Regional Eating for Schools and Health Act, which he hopes will be considered if Congress drafts a new Farm Bill in the upcoming year.

Wyden’s proposed legislation would ease Department of Agriculture regulations for what foods are available for school lunches and the recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.

“We’re talking about flexibility,” said Wyden.

He hopes that by creating a waiver for states that want to encourage nutrition within their food stamp and school lunch programs, states will be freed from regulations and come up with their own ideas to improve eating habits.

“This will help make our people healthier,” said Wyden.

He said that ideally schools and SNAP benefit recipients would have easy access to healthy, locally produced foods.

Local farmers Medford pear grower Mike Naumes also spoke Sunday, explaining how the pear industry would potentially get involved.

Naumes explained that some pears are unfit for commercial sale because they aren’t large enough, and never make it to stores.

He used the small pears as an example of an unused resource that would be perfect for schools.

“If there’s a way of creating more flexibility, everyone wins,” Naumes said.

A representative from the Rogue Valley Farm to School program also spoke Sun-

“ This will help make our people healthier.”

— Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.

day in favor of the proposed legislation.

Tracy Harding said she believes the nutritional options currently available in school lunches are unacceptable, and referred to the food given to students now as “low-rung remainders.”

“The meat — I wouldn’t really want to eat myself,” said Harding.

She emphasized the importance of the opportunity to bring healthier food to children at school.

“Healthy learning environments include healthy food,” said Harding.

Wyden said that allowing schools to gather their food locally would offer savings in transportation costs, and economic benefits to local farmers who participated.

Other proposals In another push to help farmers in tough economic times, Wyden is also proposing to modifying USDA Farm Service Agency loan rules in an effort to help young people purchase farmland.

Wyden said he wants the idea of farming to be attractive to young adults and offer them incentive to purchase land.

Wyden hopes to provide funds for farmers while simultaneously reducing paperwork burdens and shortening the time required to receive a loan from the USDA. Lastly, Wyden also wants recipients of SNAP benefits to have the option of using smartphone applications to purchase food, as he said many farmers markets now accept credit and debit cards through such applications.

3 bodies recovered after Washington house fire The Associated Press WASHOUGAL, Wash.

— Authorities said Monday that they have recovered the remains of three people from the debris of a southwestern Washington house fire that crews were unable to battle because of gunfire coming from the home.

The Washougal police department said in a statement that the bodies of Steven Stanbary, his wife — Leona Bolton-Stanbary — and her sister Mona Daugherty were recovered. Last week, investigators said they had found at least two bodies after the

Dec. 5 blaze.

Washougal police Capt.

Ron Mitchell said the probe by local and federal investigators found that Bolton-Stanbary and Daugherty likely died of gunshot wounds prior to the house fire. Stanbary’s cause of death has yet to be determined.

Stanbary, the home’s owner, was under investigation for sex crimes and was due to turn himself into Washougal detectives Dec. 6. During the fire, authorities say a man inside fired shots, preventing neighbors, firefighters and police from helping.

Sheriff’s Sgt. Kevin Allais

Weekly Arts & Entertainment Every Friday In

declined to provide details about the sex crimes investigation, except to tell The Columbian that it involved allegations of repeated incidents of abuse. Allais declined to say whether the case involved more than one victim or what the connection was to Stanbary.

Stanbary had a history of espousing white suprema-

cist views, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups. He was arrested and served 90 days in jail following a standoff with sheriff’s deputies in Bonner County, Idaho, in 1994. Authorities at the time seized a weapons cache at his home, including a grenade launcher, a sawed-off shotgun and six AK-47 assault rifles.

Dolphins fire coach Sparano MIAMI — Even before the Miami Dolphins fired Tony Sparano on Monday, names of potential successors were being bandied about.

Bill Cowher? Jeff Fisher? Jon Gruden?

“I’d like to find a young Don Shula if that’s possible,” owner Stephen Ross said.

It’s no wonder Ross craves Sparano some stability.

Since Shula retired in 1996, no coach has made it through five full seasons in Miami.

That includes Sparano, fired three games from the end of his fourth season, and one day after the Dolphins lost to the Philadelphia Eagles to fall to 4-9. The defeat ended a recent surge by the Dolphins after they lost their first seven games.

With two other NFL teams already in the market for a new coach, Ross didn’t want to wait any longer to start shopping. Sparano’s dismissal came hours after the Kansas City Chiefs fired coach Todd Haley.

Jacksonville fired coach Jack Del Rio on Nov. 29.

General manager Jeff Ireland’s status had also been in question, but he’ll be retained and take part in the coaching search, Ross said.

Todd Bowles, who had been assistant head coach and secondary coach, becomes interim head coach. He’s the sixth coach since 2004 for the Dolphins.

earning a new skill can be difficult, especially when that skill is a physical activity.

When brains tell bodies to do one thing — and then those bodies do not cooperate, at least initially — it’s easy to feel embarrassed or self-conscious.

For women, those emotions can be heightened in mixed-gender group settings, to the degree that trying to pick up something new with a gaggle of mostly faster, stronger guys can be intimidating.

The fact is, sometimes it’s easier when it’s just the girls.

The She’s on Skis program at Mt. Bachelor ski area offers just such an opportunity for women who want to learn to skate ski:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The losses kept mounting, the tension kept growing, and ultimately Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli decided the status quo was no longer good enough.

It was time to part ways with Todd Haley.

The Chiefs fired the combustible head coach Monday with the team Haley led to a surprising AFC West title less than a Haley year ago stuck at the bottom of the division following a series of devastating injuries and discouraging blowouts.

The Chiefs dropped to 5-8 after Sunday’s 3710 loss to the New York Jets, their fifth loss in six games. Kansas City committed 11 penalties for 128 yards in the dismal performance, including a 15-yarder on Haley for unsportsmanlike conduct that may have sealed his fate.

“Timing in these situations is always difficult.

There never seems to be a right time,” chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. “We just felt the inconsistent play the team has experienced throughout the season, including yesterday’s game, made today the right day to do it.”

Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel will serve as the Chiefs’ interim coach, and Pioli said he will be considered for the permanent job.

“It’s a response, I think, to women’s needs,” Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center manager Sue Foster says.

“And it was started with that purpose: to offer an opportunity for a bunch of women to get together and focus on technique and instruction, but also to get a good

workout and to have some camaraderie with your sisters on the ski trails.”

The mission of She’s on Skis is simple.

“Really, our goal is just to go out and have fun on the snow and to improve,” says Liz Book, an instructor now in her third year with the program.

NFL COMMENTARY

COLLEGE ATHLETICS

At some positions in the NFL, stereotypes reign

Pac-12 seeks to expand its brand name to China

By William C. Rhoden New York Times News Service

uring a screening of a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen on Saturday, it finally occurred to me why the absence of white cornerbacks in the National Football League — or the presence of so many black ones — presents a compelling snapshot of the American condition.

Often, in reaction to an article about the lack of black quarterbacks or the lack of black coaches and executives, critics point out indignantly that there are no white cornerbacks, either.

The disappearance of the white cornerback has more to do with shrunken aspirations, a lack of confidence and a reluctance to compete.

Cornerback at the NFL level is the most challenging position in sports.

Larry Scott, the Pacific-12 Conference commissioner, flew to Beijing on Sunday to start an apparently unprecedented effort by a college sports league to establish itself in a foreign country.

Scott plans to spend four days there meeting with various officials to put together a “road map” for a way to expand the presence of Pac-12 universities in China. While Scott has his eyes on Central America, South America, India and other Asian nations in the long term, his immediate priority is establishing the Pac-12 in China.

Scott said in a telephone interview Saturday that he expected the Pac-12 to play games in China in the next three to five years, and that he hoped the league’s cable network would someday be available there.

There have been college football games played overseas, and dozens of colleges have sent teams in other sports on foreign tours, but the Pac-12’s initiative to become more involved in

China is believed to be the first concentrated effort by a league to establish itself overseas. Pac12 presidents and athletic directors say there is a strong desire for the results to transcend sports, hoping that an increased presence in China will lead to recruitment of future students and positive cultural experiences for their athletes who travel there.

“As the world shifts from a Eurocentric historical pattern to a more broad globalcentric pattern, the Pacific Basin and Pacific Rim are ever more important to who we are and where we’re going,” said Arizona State’s president, Michael Crow.

There are few specifics so far, but Scott said this fact-finding mission would eventually hatch an international plan.

Notre Dame and Stanford have discussed playing their 2013 football game in China instead of in California. Oregon, with its strong Nike ties through the company’s chairman, Phil Knight, also has a strong interest in China, a focal point for Nike.

B Baseball • Brewers trade 3B McGehee to Pirates for RHP Veras: The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired third baseman Casey McGehee from the Milwaukee Brewers in a trade for reliever Jose Veras on Monday night. The move came hours after the Brewers agreed to terms with free-agent third baseman Aramis Ramirez.

McGehee had a strong rookie season in 2009 and a big year in 2010 but slumped at the plate in 2011 and lost his starting job to Jerry Hairston Jr. late in the season. The 29-year-old McGehee batted .223 with 13 homers and 67 RBIs for the NL Central champions, a year after hitting .285 with 23 home runs and 104 RBIs. Veras was 2-4 with a 3.80 ERA and one save in a career-high 79 games last season for Pittsburgh.

• Phillies trade OF Ben Francisco to Blue Jays: The Philadelphia Phillies traded outfielder Ben Francisco to the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday for minor league left-hander Frank Gailey. Francisco spent parts of three seasons with the Phillies, hitting .259 with 17 home runs and 75 RBIs in 225 games. He hit a three-run homer to lead the Phillies past St. Louis in Game 3 of the 2011 NL division series.

Basketball • Pistons waive guard Richard Hamilton: The Detroit Pistons finalized what has been a formality, cutting ties with three-time All-Star Richard Hamilton. Detroit made the move Monday after both sides agreed to terms of a buyout.

Hamilton was due to make $19 million guaranteed over the final two years of his contract in Detroit. He was bought out for $11 million, saving the rebuilding team $4 million in cap space this year and $4 million more next season.

• Grizzlies, Gasol reach tentative deal: Marc Gasol announced on Twitter that he has reached a tentative agreement with the Grizzlies keeping him in Memphis. Gasol tweeted on Monday night that he “can’t wait to get on the court with all my teammates!” The Memphis Grizzlies confirmed the agreement later, keeping a player general manager Chris Wallace called one of the franchise’s cornerstones.

Ducks turn back Pilots The Associated Press EUGENE — E.J. Singler scored 19 points and Oregon held off a late rally by Portland State to win 79-70 on Monday night.

Devoe Joseph had 13 points, including the last eight, and six assists as the Ducks (6-2) improved to 5-0 at home.

Garrett Sim also scored 13, and first-year center Tony Woods had seven points, five rebounds and five blocks.

Chehales Tapscott led the Vikings (5-4) with 16 points.

Tapscott scored 14 in the second half after foul trouble limited him to 6 minutes in the first half. Lateef McMullen added 14 points, Charles Odum 12 and Michael Hart-

hun 10.

The Ducks led 65-51 late in the game. But Portland State went on an 8-0 run, capped by a three-point play by Tapscott, to cut Oregon’s advantage to 65-59 with 4:34 left.

“If we could’ve stopped the game with 6 minutes to go, I would’ve felt good,” Oregon

coach Dana Altman said. “We just let up a bit.”

A three-pointer by Harthun with 1:29 left cut it to71-68. But Joseph answered with floater high off the glass. The Vikings turned the ball over on the inbounds pass, giving Oregon the ball with 50 seconds remaining.

Joseph then went six-for-six from the free throw line to finish the game.

“I think we let up a little bit defensively, got a little comfortable with our lead,” Sim said. “We’ve got to finish the game better than that and not let them make a run at us at the end.”

In just his second game in an Oregon uniform after

transferring from Minnesota last winter, Joseph came off the bench to play a team-high 29 minutes. His six assists highlighted a season-best 18assist night for Oregon.

But his performance in the final minute was clutch for a player who until Saturday had seen playing time only on the practice court for a year.

“That was big,” Sim said.

“He did a good job finishing the game out with free throws and that big basket. Big plays

by Devoe down the stretch.”

Oregon had a season-low seven turnovers after averaging 15.3 coming into the game.

The Ducks ended the first half on a 12-5 run for a 34-27 halftime lead.

NBA

Proposals are traded, but Paul remains with Hornets

By Mark Heisler New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — The hunt for Chris Paul, also known as the journey to nowhere, was back where it started on Monday, when the Los Angeles Clippers broke off talks about acquiring him.

In the four days since Commissioner David Stern vetoed a three-way deal that would have sent Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers from the New Orleans Hornets, there have been two sets of talks. They have involved four teams, at least 11 players, and NBA vice presidents Stu Jackson and Joel Litvin, who are acting as de facto general managers for the Hornets, a team owned by the league.

The result: No deals. Paul remains in the Hornets’ training camp.

The league took over effective control in these new talks, and Hornets general manager Dell Demps, who made the doomed deal with the Lakers, has been reduced to passing proposals back and forth between the Clippers and NBA officials.

The Clippers were ready to give up their star guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman and Minnesota’s unprotected No. 1 pick in the June draft.

But at the end of negotiations between the Clippers and the NBA officials, it seemed the Clippers would also have to give up two more young players, Eric Bledsoe and AlFarouq Aminu. To the league’s surprise, Los Angeles would not part with Bledsoe.

Instead, the Clippers claimed former Knick Chauncey Billups off waivers, perhaps in anticipation of ultiPaul mately trading a point guard or two.

Adding to the whirlwind of nonactivity, the Orlando Magic, who have said they would take offers accommodating Dwight Howard’s demand to be traded, went back to saying they will do all they can to keep him.

“We have to continue to do what’s right for this organization to win a championship, and the first piece of that is keeping Dwight,” the Magic’s chief executive, Alex Martins, said at the team’s practice site in Orlando.

“And we’re doing everything we can to ensure that we do that. Our fans need to make sure that we show him the love.”

Howard went back to his “I love Orlando” mantra, however qualified.

“I love this city and there’s no place I’d rather be than Orlando,” he said. “I just want to make sure that we have the right things here so we can win a championship. And I’m all about change. If you’re willing to change and willing do what it takes to win, then you’ve got me.

“You only get one time around the track.

There’s no reset button. You don’t want to miss out on any opportunity to win. You’ve got to do what it takes to win.”

Howard and Paul have spurned extension offers, alerting the Hornets and the Magic to the risk of being left with nothing if they let their stars walk away next summer.

Paul has given the Hornets three teams he is willing to go to.

• The Knicks, his original favorite, no longer have the maximum slot they were expecting to have last season, when Paul joked about forming a new big three with Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, in a toast at Anthony’s wedding.

• The Lakers, Paul’s second choice, made an offer, but were shot down by Stern on Thursday.

They tried to rework the three-team deal with the Hornets and the Rockets, but suddenly dropped out. Talks between the Lakers and the Magic were brief and came to nothing.

• And the Clippers, No. 3 on Paul’s list, had their deal fall through Monday.

Everyone can start over from the beginning today.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle listens to a question from reporters after practice in Dallas Monday. The Mavericks are still waiting for their new players to get on the court. Vince Carter was a spectator at practice while waiting to formally sign his deal, and Lamar Odom hadn’t yet arrived after being acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Mavs still waiting to get Odom, Carter on court

By Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press

DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks are still waiting for their new players to get on the court.

Free agent Vince Carter was a spectator at the Mavericks’ practice for the second day in a row Monday before the eight-time NBA All-Star finally signed his expected contract. Lamar Odom, the 6-foot-10 forward acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers, wasn’t there yet.

Less than two weeks before the NBA champion Mavericks play their season opener with a Christmas Day rematch against the Miami Heat, coach Rick Carlisle still hasn’t had a full team for practice.

“It’s important, but logistics are logistics. We’ve got to submit ourselves to what the rules are. If you trade for a guy, you can’t just Star Trek beam him here for practice,” Carlisle said. “We will engage these guys as quickly and as effectively as we can. Before you know it, we’ll be another week into this and they’ll be right in the middle of it.”

Carlisle expects Carter and Odom to both take part in the team’s media day activities today.

The 34-year-old Carter had to clear waivers after playing for Phoenix last season. The Mavericks announced Monday night that Carter had signed a contract that reunites him with Jason Kidd, his teammate for three seasons in New Jersey.

Dallas didn’t provide details of Carter’s deal, but it is expected to be a midlevel exception of $3 million for this season.

Carter has 20,250 career points, eighth among active players and 35th on the NBA career list. He was originally the fifth overall selection in the 1998 draft by Toronto and has played 925 career games for the Raptors, New Jersey, Orlando and Phoenix.

Carter also attended practice in Dallas on Sunday, when the team confirmed it had acquired Odom, last season’s Sixth Man of the Year, without losing a player in return.

“We love the deal. ... It’s a very positive deal for us because we’re talking about a player as diversified skill-wise as anybody in the league right now, particularly given his size,” Carlisle said. “He’s always been a really difficult matchup for us, was a key part of their team and we really feel like he’ll fit in well here.”

The Lakers get an $8.9 million trade exception for the 32-year-old Odom, who is going into the third year of a

four-year deal. He has averaged 14.6 points and 8.9 rebounds in 829 games over 12 NBA seasons, four with the Clippers, one in Miami and the last seven with the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant certainly wasn’t happy, especially Odom being sent so cheaply to the Mavericks, who swept the Lakers in last season’s playoffs.

Mavericks center Brendan Haywood shrugged off Bryant’s reaction.

“My reaction is we’re very happy to get Lamar,” Carlisle said.

Veteran forward Brian Cardinal joined the team for practice Monday after re-signing with Dallas. He will get the veteran minimum of just over $1.3 million. Cardinal joined the Mavericks last year as a free agent, when the 6-foot-8 forward averaged 2.6 points, 1.1 rebounds and 10.8 minutes in 56 games.

He has played 412 games over 11 seasons with Detroit, Washington, Golden State, Memphis, Minnesota and Dallas.

“I’m excited to be back, I’m excited to be with these guys and this group,” Cardinal said. “I missed a few days, but it’s exciting to be back with these guys and be out there on the court.”

Odom helps Dallas recover from the departure of center Tyson Chandler, who went to the New York Knicks in a sign-and-trade deal that opened an exception to get Odom.

But the Mavericks expect him to be more than just a replacement for Chandler.

“He’s a guy that’s 6-10 that can do everything on the floor, extremely athletic and skilled,” Haywood said. “He can play the 3, 4, 5, 2, he can even play the point and initiate the offense. So I think Lamar definitely helps this team out a lot.”

Odom joins what could be one of the NBA’s best frontcourts when he’s paired with NBA Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Marion.

“He can play every position on the floor in my opinion, so look he’s going to have a lot of things to learn our perimeter positions and our big positions,” Carlisle said. “But he’ll do it and he won’t have a problem with it, because he’s just got that good a feel for the game.

“We believe that there are a lot of possibilities with Lamar,” he said.

“He can score, pass, make plays, defend, rebound, all those things are really healthy for diversity of your team.

Without him being here and having a chance to do things on the floor, I can’t give you exact answers, but I’m excited about the possibilities.”

New Jersey Devils goalie Johan Hedberg dives on a loose puck against the Tampa Bay Lightning during the second period of Monday night’s game in Tampa, Fla.

Devils take win over Lightning The Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — New Jersey coach Peter DeBoer placed a big emphasis on an early December game.

Zach Parise and Adam Henrique both had a goal and two assists to lead the Devils past the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-4 on Monday night.

Parise, Henrique and Ilya Kovalchuk each scored in the second period as the Devils broke open a tie game after both teams scored twice in the first.

Petr Sykora and Dainius Zubrus had the other goals for New Jersey, which had lost five of seven.

“It’s an important game,” DeBoer said. “I think we’re both spinning our wheels a little bit where we’re sitting in the standings and both trying to get some traction and move up. It was a key two points.”

Steven Stamkos had two goals and an assist for the Lightning, losers of seven of eight. Steve Downie and Blair Jones also scored.

“We’re finding ways to lose game right now,” Stamkos said. “We showed, obviously, a lot of character like we always do. That second period killed us. We dug ourselves a hole too big to climb out of.”

Tampa Bay goalie Dwayne Roloson was replaced by Mathieu Garon early in the

Kings fire coach after slow start LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Kings have fired coach Terry Murray after a slow start to a season of high expectations.

Murray was replaced Monday by assistant coach John Stevens, who will be an interim head coach.

Murray went 139-106-30 with the Kings after taking over the club in 2008. The veteran coach led Los Angeles to its first two playoff appearances after an eight-year absence, but the Kings lost both first-round series.

Los Angeles earned a total of 199 points in the past two seasons, the most in any two-year stretch for the club.

— The Associated Press

second after allowing three goals on 12 shots.

“He’ll bounce back,” Lightning coach Guy Boucher said.

Roloson, who helped Tampa Bay reach the 2011 Eastern Conference finals, has struggled this year and has played in just three of the Lightning’s last 10 games.

Chelios leads U.S. hockey hall class The Associated Press CHICAGO — Chris Chelios had a simple reason why he not only survived 26 seasons in the NHL, but earned a spot in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.

“I’ve been surrounded by great players my whole career,” Chelios said during the induction ceremony Monday night. “But the most enjoyment I ever had was seeing the enjoyment of my friends and family when I played.

“I hope I entertained you,” Chelios said. “I couldn’t skate any more. I had to hang ’em up.”

Chelios was one of five American hockey notables inducted Monday. He was joined by fellow defenseman Gary Suter, with whom he played at the University of Wisconsin and with the Chicago Blackhawks, forward Keith Tkachuk, Philadelphia Flyers owner Ed Snider and broadcaster Mike Emrick.

Chelios, a three-time Norris Trophy winner who grew up in the Chicago suburb of Evergreen Park, said his greatest moment in the game, aside from winning the Stanley Cup for the first of three times, was taking the ice to play for the gold medal in the 1992 Olympics in Salt Lake City.

“You wanted to win the gold medal, but there was no disappointment (when Canada won),” Chelios said.

“It was the best hockey I’ve ever been involved in.”

Tkachuk, who played for Winnipeg, Phoenix, St. Louis and Atlanta, had a vivid memory of one encounter with Chelios.

“Cheli and I tangled at Chicago Stadium, got me in a headlock and I couldn’t breathe,” Tkachuk said, grinning. “I was down to my last

breath. He was strong for a little guy.”

Chelios remembered Tkachuk “turning colors. I let him go right at the last second, but I could have made him pass out easy if I wanted to. And he knew it.”

They were loyal teammates on Olympic squads and during the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, in which the U.S. came back from losing the first game to sweep the last two games on Canadian ice. Suter was also on that team, while Snider hosted the first game in the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers’ then-new building, and Emrick called the contests on American television.

“I didn’t expect to hear my name associated with a Hall of Fame unless it involved penalty minutes or eating,” Tkachuk told the gathering of about 450. “This means everything to me. I’m only retired for two years, and to go in with this class is amazing.”

Tkachuk scored 538 goals in 19 NHL seasons, but counted the World Cup victory as his top achievement.

“That generated great momentum, not only for me, but for U.S. hockey in general,” Tkachuk said.

Suter’s 17-year pro career opened in Calgary, where he was named the NHL’s top rookie in 1985-86, and went through Chicago and San Jose. Like Chelios and Tkachuk, he was inspired by the American hockey victory in the 1980 Olympics.

“That was so unexpected, but in 1996 (at the World Cup), we were a good solid team, among the top four in the world,” Suter said.

“I think winning that had a similar effect to 1980 on kids, and American hockey has continued to get stronger.”

Pac-12 Continued from D1 The future of football in China is not as certain as that of other sports with more traditional ties to the country. Scott said he was optimistic that sports like men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball could be played in China soon because there is plenty of infrastructure to accommodate them. Scott said that the relationship would probably begin with offseason tours and lead to regular-season games.

Bob Bowlsby, Stanford’s athletic director, said: “It’s an emerging market educationally as well as athletically. It seems to me that international strategy is good for Stanford and the Pac-12 universities in general. All of them, especially along the West Coast, are heavily engaged in the Pacific Rim.” To help build a presence in China, Scott hired Carrie Xu, who recently received a master’s degree from the University of Southern California in sports business and marketing. Xu, who has worked for Nike in China on its basketball initiatives there, is the Pac-12’s senior manager/international, and is believed to be the first conference official hired to focus on overseas development.

The Pac-12’s push into China came from Scott’s initial meetings with all the Pac-12 presidents. He said “the light went off” when he kept hearing about the wide international scope of various universities.

Crow said Arizona State drew more than 1,200 students from China and wanted to increase that to more than 2,500.

The Southern California president, Max Nikias, said his university had more international students than any other in the United States (more than 8,600 of USC’s more than 37,000).

USC, he said, has more than 25,000 alumni in the Pacific Rim. Scott Woodward, athletic director at Washington, said: “This is going to be very important to us, not only for athletics but from a University of Washington viewpoint. This part of the world is an important part of our strategic plan of how we look at things.”

Scott said that in the past 20 years he had taken more than 20 trips to China while working in professional tennis, including establishing an office in Beijing while the chief executive of the Women’s Tennis Association.

Drawing off many established contacts in China, Scott has four days of meetings scheduled with NBA China, NFL China, media companies, sponsors, event promoters, government leaders and officials from Pac-12 satellite branches.

“As we’ve tried to push the boundaries and redefine what our conference can do for our schools in the U.S.,” Scott said, “we’re pushing boundaries to try and value the university more broadly, including their international aspirations.” Scott will also deliver a speech at the 2011 China International Sports Leadership Forum.

Scott said that sports executives in China were intrigued

by America’s unique model of collegiate sports, and that there was a need for knowledge of organization and administration of sports leagues.

The Chinese are intensely focused on the Olympics, Scott said, which blends well with a league that has athletes who have won more than 1,000 medals in its history. Scott said there could be a particular demand on the expertise of coaches and athletes in swimming, track and field, and volleyball.

“One of the things that resonated is the knowledge transfer and sharing of best practices,” Scott said. “It’s a cultural as well as sporting exchange.”

Scott emphasized, and Pac12 officials widely agreed, that making money was not the primary goal for establishing a presence in China. Although there is long-term possibility for that and a sincere desire to eventually make the Pac-12 network available, Scott said he saw other leagues having a hard time following suit.

“I don’t know if this is a model for every conference,” he said. “It’s unique to us. I don’t know if there’s a playbook for others to follow, as this is the vision and ambition of our presidents because of our unique and different assets.”

NFL

Seahawks pull away from Rams

By Tim Booth The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Doug Baldwin picked a national stage to remind the rest of the NFL what they passed up in last April’s draft.

Baldwin, an undrafted rookie out of Stanford, blocked a first-quarter punt that was returned by Michael Robinson 17 yards for a touchdown, then caught a 29-yard TD pass from Tarvaris Jackson in the third quarter as the Seattle Seahawks pulled away for a 30-13 win over the staggering St. Louis Rams on Monday night.

Seattle (6-7) won for the fourth time in five games and kept alive its slim hopes for reaching the postseason.

The Seahawks likely would need to win out to potentially make the playoffs a reality, but they’re at least back in the conversation after a 2-6 start.

“As far as my expectations go, I expected to be successful. I didn’t know how successful, but I expected to be able to come in here and win a job in some capacity, because if you don’t have that confidence in yourself you’re not going to win a job,” Baldwin said. “To be where I am now, no I didn’t expect this.

But at the same time I’m not satisfied.”

Marshawn Lynch topped 100 yards rushing for the fifth time in the last six games, finishing with 115 on 23 carries. He scored a touchdown in his ninth straight game on a 16-yard run with 2:57 left to put away Seattle’s 13th win in its last 14 games against the Rams.

Seahawks fans threw bags of Skittles into the end zone as Lynch celebrated his ninth rushing touchdown this season, and he tied a franchise record with nine consecutive

games with a TD. “I could have caught them, that’s how close they got to me,” Lynch said of the flying candies.

Baldwin finished with seven catches for 93 yards and Steven Hauschka was three of four on field goal attempts for the Seahawks.

Sam Bradford started for St. Louis (2-11) despite a high left ankle sprain that’s bothered him for nearly two months and forced him to

Stereotype Continued from D1 It demands extraordinary speed and quickness. Like fighter pilots, cornerbacks must possess an unusual blend of physical strength and emotional toughness, the ability to think and act quickly under pressure.

The film, “Red Tails,” produced by George Lucas, is the gripping story of the Tuskegee Airmen, African-American pilots who fought in World War II. They were the first African-American aviators in the U.S. armed forces. The black fighter pilots were underestimated, marginalized, told they lacked the courage, the intelligence and the skill to be top-flight fighter pilots.

The movie depicts breathtaking dogfights over Italy and Germany where the Red Tails (so named because the Tuskegee pilots painted their planes’ tails bright red) performed heroic feats and earned commendations.

The movie is set in 1944. At the time, the armed forces were segregated. African-Americans were also excluded from major league sports in the United States. The modern NFL, for example, was not desegregated until 1946.

Practice of stacking By the time Bernie Parrish, a white kid from Florida, and Walter Beach, an African-American from Michigan, joined the Cleveland Browns as cornerbacks in 1959 and 1960, the majority of cornerbacks were white. There were unwritten rules and practices designed to keep it that way.

“We were still in that era of the quotas,” said Parrish, referring to the unwritten practice of allowing a select number of African-Americans on a team. “In 1959, I believe the quota of black players was seven; then it went to 13.”

There was also the practice of stacking, making sure African-American players competed for the same positions.

“There would be six or eight guys competing for my spot and nobody competing for his,” Beach said, referring to Parrish, who has become one of his closest friends. “That’s where the stacking concept comes from. They would stack black cats behind each other; that was a reality. If you came to the Cleveland Browns and you wanted to play cornerback, there were going to be five brothers over there behind me.”

All 167 cornerbacks listed on active NFL rosters last Monday were AfricanAmerican, although Julian Edelman, a receiver who is white, has played a few snaps at cornerback for the injuryplagued New England Patriots. The evolution to today’s rosters began with the emergence of the American Football League in 1960. While the NFL maintained quotas and engaged in steering and stacking, the rival AFL was

miss last week’s game at San Francisco. Bradford barely practiced this week and it showed as he was rusty and made poor decisions.

Bradford was 12 of 29 for 193 yards, was intercepted

by Brandon Browner on the first play of the second half and nearly picked off on a handful of other throws.

Steven Jackson had 50 yards rushing on 11 carries by halftime, including dashes of 11 yards twice and 10

snatching up talented players wherever it could find them, especially at historically black colleges.

“You had more black guys coming into the league who were receivers who could fly, and they had to have defensive backs who could fly with them,” Beach said.

At some point, white players stopped believing they could fly. No more protection from open competition; everyone had to prove himself on a level playing field. Like the success of black fighter pilots, the presence of 64 African-American starting cornerbacks in the NFL is an American triumph of meritocracy over protectionism.

The long-term negative effect of discriminatory practices of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s is reflected in the almost complete abandonment of cornerback by young white athletes aspiring to play the position at the most competitive high schools.

Dallas Jackson, who specializes in high school recruiting for Rivals.com, has seen the consequences.

“I’ve been at Rivals.com for seven years; there has not been a white cornerback who has stood out,” Jackson said. “I don’t think we have invited one to our U.S. Army All-American game.”

He added: “White athletes aren’t going out for the position or they are getting pushed out at an early age or getting steered clear of it in peewee ball.

There are white cornerbacks out there; they just haven’t been recruited. They play the position and they might end up in Division II schools or Division III. But when we talk about the NFL level — I can’t remember a white cornerback in a long time. The white corner is a vanishing act right now.”

Getting moved Ozzie Newsome, the Baltimore Ravens’ general manager, said the lack of white cornerbacks reflected a failure to see possibilities.

“I was a pretty good quarterback growing up, but when it came to organized football, I knew I should become a wide receiver, because from everything that I was reading, all the blacks were getting their positions changed,” said Newsome, who was a standout NFL tight end from 1978 to 1990.

Once he became a receiver, the road to the NFL became clearer. “Now you’ve got some heroes that you can look at; there is someone you can emulate who is black,” he said.

Young white athletes who might aspire to be NFL corners can’t see themselves in that role.

“They’re going through the same thing that I went through when I wanted to play quarterback,” Newsome said. “‘Yeah, you can play cornerback, but by the time you get to college, they’re going to move you to safety.’

“I think the stereotype can affect your

yards once. He was limited to just 42 yards on 15 carries when the teams met a few weeks ago and the Rams were trying to exploit the Seahawks’ secondary.

This time, Jackson disappeared in the second half — aside from a 50-yard catch-and-run on a screen pass — and finished with 63 yards rushing on 20 carries.

He stood on the sidelines with his legs crossed during a goal-line possession in the fourth quarter while Cadillac Williams got the first crack at scoring.

The Rams eventually ran five plays from the 1 without Jackson touching the ball — thanks to a taunting penalty on Seattle’s Richard Sherman. Jackson finally got a carry on a second third-and-goal and scored, but only after screaming on the sideline.

Jackson’s score pulled the Rams within 23-13, but the outcome was already decided.

Baldwin’s influence on the game was evident from the start, when he took a pitch from Leon Washington on a kickoff reverse and returned it beyond the 40. Seattle was later forced to punt, but it was Baldwin racing from the outside to down the punt at the Rams 6.

Then he made the biggest of his three fine special teams plays.

Coming almost entirely unblocked off the right end, Baldwin took a punt off the foot of Donnie Jones. The bounding ball hopped up into the arms of Robinson, who went the final 17 yards for an early 7-0 Seahawks lead.

“We just expect that out of him now,” Tarvaris Jackson said. “We expect him to go out and make plays every week.”

mentality. If you grow up not seeing something and hearing something your whole life, that starts to impact you: ‘I can’t do this, I’m not good enough to do that.’ And that becomes a part of your life.”

Pushing to do more A similar phenomenon is seen in the kicking game.

There are no African-American punters or kickers in the NFL. While white athletes shy away from cornerback because, in their minds, it requires too much athleticism, many AfricanAmerican players eschew punting and kicking because it is not athletic enough.

Claude Mathis, the coach at DeSoto (Texas) High School, said he had to beg his best player to kick and punt. “Kids make fun of you when you’re a punter,” he said. “When you’re an athlete, you don’t want to be labeled as punter or kicker; kids will make fun of you.”

But they didn’t make fun of Bryson Echols: He is an all-America cornerback and an athlete at DeSoto, headed to the University of Texas.

“We’re not taught to punt and kick when we’re little; we’re taught to play other positions,” Mathis said of black athletes. “Look at the peewee league, look at the J.V. level, the junior high level, the elementary level, the professional level.”

Ted Ginn Sr., who coaches at Glenville High School in Cleveland, echoed Mathis’ sentiments. “Kids don’t see themselves as a punter because it’s always white punters in the NFL or college,” he said. “They see themselves as a wide receiver or running back, not as a field-goal kicker who can stay in the NFL for 15 years and make millions.”

In fact, kicking is a high-profile position at Solon (Ohio) High School. The last two kickers there, who are white, went on to outstanding college careers: Pat Jacob was a two-time all-Ivy League punter at Princeton, and Albert Benedict kicked for Division II Gannon in Pennsylvania.

The lack of white corners and black kickers is less about sports and more about having dreams, seeing possibility and having the courage to explore one’s discomfort zone.

“I get upset with our guys when they let others not let them dream,” said Jim McQuaide, Solon’s coach. “Limiting themselves because of what others think they can or can’t do. Anyone can be a cornerback in the NFL, anyone can be a punter. That’s our mission as coaches; we have to push our players to do more.”

White corners, black kickers. Both groups can learn lessons from the Tuskegee Airmen, the legendary Red Tails, who kicked and scratched in pursuit of a dream.

In the end, they showed the world they could indeed fly.

Should there be a new vote for NL MVP?

By Dylan Hernandez Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Ryan Braun is facing a 50-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s drug policy. He is appealing, but if the positive test is upheld and the Baseball Writers’ Association of America were to vote on the National League mostvaluable-player award again, would the results be different?

Yes. The Dodgers’ Matt Kemp would win in a landslide, according to a Los Angeles Times survey of the 20 writers who submitted MVP ballots with Braun winning.

However, an official change is not expected.

Jack O’Connell, the BBWAA’s longtime secretary-treasurer and award administrator, said there are no plans to re-issue MVP ballots — even if Braun’s suspension is upheld upon appeal. Braun, whose hitting helped propel the Milwaukee Brewers to the NL Championship Series, has proclaimed his innocence and appealed the test results.

“The voters used the information they had at the time of the election,” O’Connell said. “I don’t see how we can change that.”

Several writers who voted for Braun said they would cast their ballots for Kemp in a revote, but a majority of reporters contacted by the Times — 15 of the 20 — were against voting again, and two were unsure.

The Times has a policy forbidding its writers from voting for awards, in part to avoid situations such as these in which reporters become key elements of a story. Bill Shaikin, the Times’ national baseball writer, is the BBWAA’s national president.

Tim Kurkjian of ESPN said he is against a potential revote because of the precedent it would set. If he did vote again, he said Braun would still receive his first-place vote.

“Baseball has never taken an award or record away from anyone for any reason,” Kurkjian wrote in an email.

Kurkjian went on to write that if the BBWAA revoted on Braun’s award, it would have to do so for awards won by Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens.

“And that would just be the start,” Kurkjian wrote. “The record books would become a complete mess.”

And if awards and records are revoked from individual players, Kurkjian continued, victories and championships won by teams with chemically enhanced players would also have to be erased.

“For practical purposes,” Kurkjian wrote, “that would be impossible to do.”

Like Kurkjian, Bob Nightengale of USA Today opposes a revote but said if there was one he would cast the same ballot he did in the fall.

“I just think nobody knows about anyone anymore,” Nightengale said. “You don’t know who’s clean and who isn’t.”

Nightengale pointed out that Braun’s failed drug test was administered in the playoffs. The MVP award is determined by regular-season performance.

Nightengale said the only way the Brewers left fielder would not have received his vote is if he had tested positive during the regular season and been forced to sit out games as a result. In that instance, he said he would be altering his vote on account of the games not played, not the positive drug test.

Kurkjian and Nightengale were among six voters who said they would submit the same list as last time. Six others said they were unsure of what they would do.

Nightengale said he is a proponent of drug testing and cleaning up baseball. He said he just doesn’t think current testing methods are effective.

The academy runs developmental programs in cross-country skiing, cycling, rock climbing and multisport, and it serves, according to a BEA press release, more than 300 Central Oregon families.

The press release stated the grant will be used to support the academy’s Community Trails Project, which includes six days of community activities focused on ski and bike trail maintenance, and the offering of free learn-to-bike and -ski clinics.

Paddling • Holiday kayak on tap: A Christmas kayak on the Deschutes River is scheduled for this Friday in Bend.

This year’s event has been moved from the Mirror Pond area of the Deschutes River to the Old Mill District. Paddling enthusiasts are invited to gather at 3:30 p.m. at Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe, 805 S.W. Industrial Way, Suite 6. Canoes and kayaks can be adorned with holiday decorations such as lights, trees, wreaths and garlands.

For more information, contact the shop at 541-317-9407.

Rock Climbing • Area youths compete in regional event: Twelve members of the Bend Endurance Academy’s climbing squad participated in the American Bouldering Series Northwest Regional Championship, staged this past weekend in Garden City, Idaho. The Northwest Region consists of Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, western North Dakota and western South Dakota.

As a team, BEA placed third. Individually, by virtue of finishing in the top seven in their respective divisions, nine BEA climbers advanced to the ABS Divisional Championship, scheduled for Jan. 14-15 in Seattle, based on their regional finishes.

Lukas Strauss-Wise led the BEA squad by tying for first place in the male youth-C division.

For results of the BEA climbers, see Community Sports Scoreboard on D6.

Running • Local youths run in national event: Six runners representing the Central Oregon Running Klub (CORK) participated in the USA Track & Field National Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships.

The meet was staged Saturday in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Olivia Brooks posted the top finish among CORK runners. She finished the 3,000-meter midget girls (birth years 1999 and 2000) race in 13th place with a time of 10 minutes, 55.78 seconds. The top 25 finishers in each race earn All-America awards.

Other CORK finishers were Emma Brooks (48th, bantam girls), Ciara Jones (58th, midget girls), Piper Flannery (78th, midget girls), Madison Leapaldt (78th, youth girls) and Kambel Quatre (138th, midget boys).

For results for the CORK runners, see Community Sports Scoreboard on D6.

Swimming • Central Oregon swimmers post top times: Members of Central Oregon Masters Aquatics (COMA) set five Northwest Zone records and seven Oregon records at the All-Around Challenge meet, staged Saturday in Bend.

Logan Madson set three of the zone records in the men’s 25-29 division with his times in the 50-meter backstroke (27.44 seconds), 50 breaststroke (31.81) and 100 individual medley (59.79). Tamas Bessenyei set a zone record in the 30-34 men’s 50 breast (30.59), and the relay team of Amy Ward, Bessenyei, Madson and Kristine Senkier also set a zone record in the mixed 120-159 (combined age) 200 medley relay (2:00.92).

The Northwest Zone in USA Masters Swimming comprises the states of Oregon, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Washington, so all five of the zone records set over the weekend by COMA swimmers also count as state records.

Additionally, Hardy Lussier set state records in the men’s 45-49 age group in the 50 breast (33.02) and 100 IM (1:05.67).

COMA swimmers set a total of 26 individual club records and four relay club records.

For results of all COMA swimmers at the meet, see Community Sports Scoreboard on D6. — Bulletin staff reports

COM M U N I T Y SP ORTS

Girls Continued from D1 In previous seasons, She’s on Skis offered a three- or four-week session in December and a separate six-week session starting in January.

But this season, for the first time, the program is being offered in a 10-session format, which concludes Feb. 18.

“It just gives you that more time to be out on the snow and practice and improve and work on your technique,” Book explains of the new, longer format.

Though the program staged its first lessons of the season last week, it is not too late to sign up. Skiers can pick a two-hour weekly practice session from three options: 9:30 a.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays, and 12:30 p.m. Saturdays.

Out on the snow, up to three instructors at a time will work with a group of about five to 10 women, which allows the program to accommodate skiers of varying ability levels during the same session. The curriculum is techniqueoriented, and prospective participants can expect to perform a lot of drills.

“I find the instructors to be very good at breaking down what you need to do into the little steps,” says Dana Arntson, 46, who started her second year of She’s on Skis last week and is in her third year overall of skate skiing.

She’s on Skis can accommodate a range of ability levels but is not for women who are absolute, complete neophytes.

“You have to have slid on skate skies,” Foster notes.

Still, the experience requirement is relatively minimal. And with 10 weeks of practice, participants can expect to see quite a bit of improvement.

“I went from barely being able to stand on (skis) to being able to ski fairly proficiently,” says Cate Hill, 53, who, like Arntson, is now in her second year of She’s on Skis. “I think the coaching is amazing, and they have so many great drills. They really know what they’re doing.”

For women with absolutely no skate skiing experience, Mt. Bachelor and Hoodoo Mountain Resort both offer single lessons in group and private formats, and Mt. Bachelor also offers multiweek lesson packages. Prospective skiers can also look for opportunities like the annual Learn to Ski days staged by Meissner Nordic ski club. (The next one is scheduled for Jan. 14.)

After gaining just a little experience, prospective participants will be ready for next ski season’s She’s on Skis — or possibly even one later in the season. Another session, Foster says, could start in January if interest is high enough.

Besides the opportunity for repeated practice in an instructional setting, She’s on Skis is costeffective. Cost depends on each skier’s needs, ranging from $215 for those who already have their own equipment and trail pass to $295 for those who need gear and a pass. (For perspective, for adults, a one-hour lesson with rental and trail pass costs $50 to $60 at Mt. Bachelor and $45 at Hoodoo.)

“It’s a pretty good deal,” Foster notes. “It’s a lot of snow time with personal instruction.”

Says Hill: “It’s great. Everybody should do it.”

L

ooking for a good gift for that book, movie or music lover in your life?

The staff at The Bulletin has a few ideas for you.

The

following

is

a

compilation of our favorite books, DVDs and albums that we encountered in the past year.

BOOKS “Wildwood”

By Colin Meloy You know Meloy as the singer, songwriter and guitarist of The Decemberists, and if you think he has a way with words in song, wait till you read this adventure novel set in a reimagined world just outside of Portland.

In Meloy’s first installment of a planned series, young Prue watches a flock of crows snatch her baby brother, Mac, and fly him over the Willamette River into what’s known as the Impassable Wilderness. While searching for Mac, Prue and a friend, Curtis, gain entry into this mysterious forest, where they learn about themselves amid a brewing battle among talking animals, Robin Hood-like bandits, an evil queen with dark intentions and an army of coyotes.

Note: It’s a page-turner of a fantasy, but young readers — and parents reading it aloud to kids — may want a dictionary nearby. Meloy would never use “branch” when “bough” is an option.

“Hunt, Gather, Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast”

By Hank Shaw Seen through journalist Hank Shaw’s eyes, the High Desert is a veritable buffet table. His book is part cookbook, part nature writing and part encyclopedia of flora and fauna. His essays are fun to read. And he offers myriad ways to catch and forage wild foods, then turn them into gourmet meals. Press manzanita berries into cider! Cure your own wild boar loin! Turn the dandelions in your front yard into scrumptious risotto! Even if Shaw’s writing never nudges you into the kitchen, it will change the way you look at the plants and animals that surround us.

— Lily Raff McCaulou, columnist

“The Woman in Black”

By Susan Hill A great book with a nice follow-up possibility — the movie based on it is coming out in February.

This is a classic English ghost story that has some truly bone-chilling moments. It makes a great gift for people who love their horror classic and ghoulish. Both this book and the 1989 TV movie based on it are excellent. I’m excited to see how the movie remake will work out, but either way, the book is a haunting read that makes a great gift for someone who likes their reading on the darker side.

P e rrette: Goth go-to gal on ‘NCIS’

L M T

FOR TUESDAY, DEC. 13

TV SPOTLIGHT “NCIS�

9 tonight, CBS

By Frazier Moore The Associated Press

NEW YORK — It figures that Pauley Perrette would excel playing forensic scientist Abby Sciuto, the Goth lab rat on CBS’ crime procedural, “NCIS.�

On the job in her high-tech lair, Abby is an information magnet and a bloodhound for clues to help crack the latest case with a link to the Navy or Marine Corps. And in the process, she’s brainy, beautiful, charmingly quirky and totally gung-ho — which is to say, a lot like Pauley Perrette.

In its ninth season, “NCIS� remains a smash hit, averaging 20 million viewers a week.

And even among its crazypopular ensemble (including Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pablo, Sean Murray, David McCallum and Rocky Carroll), Perrette is a standout, having landed at the top of a recent Q Score roster measuring TV stars’ fame and likability among viewers.

But in person, as herself, Perrette can even upstage her performance as Abby. Hear her jazzed accounts of a life that led from her Atlanta upbringing to a role on one of TV’s hottest shows: She describes her early-on aspirations: “to work with animals, be in a rock ‘n’ roll band or be an FBI agent.�

She recounts her scramble in New York, where she moved to study at John Jay School of Criminal Science but worked several jobs at once to make ends meet: “Not only was I bartending in the club-kids scene, with a bra

and combat boots and a white Mohawk, but I wore a sandwich board on roller skates passing out fliers for Taco Bell in the Diamond District, and I worked on one of these boats that go around Manhattan — way down in the galley, knee-deep in fish water, cooking food for the rich people upstairs.�

She thinks back on the days of her own hard partying and substance abuse: “I’ve done everything. Everything!

I can’t believe I survived it.�

And she reports how, along the way, the bartender broke into showbiz: “A kid in coatcheck told me, ‘I know this director who would really like you.’ I started booking commercials like craaazy.�

Then she moved to Los Angeles, landing roles in shows such as “Murder One,� “Frasier,� “Time of Your Life� and “JAG,� where a guest shot led to “NCIS� with its premiere in 2003.

Perrette is an unapologetic cheerleader for her show — and her character. “I’m the biggest Abby Sciu-

to fan on planet Earth,� she announces. “I mean, I didn’t invent her. I just have the honor of playing her. She fascinates me.�

For a recent interview, Perrette looks a decade younger than her 42 years, dressed in jeans and a green T-shirt that echoes her luminous green eyes. Her raven hair (dyed for the role of Abby from her natural blond) is in pigtails. If she looks short at 5 feet and 10 inches, it’s because she isn’t wearing Abby’s towering platforms, but instead tennis shoes. She flaunts a radiant smile and a flurry of hands when she speaks — say, about the joys of acting. “There’s no drug that I ever did that worked as well as being an actor,� she said. “What you’re looking for with substance abuse is escape. But with acting, you can escape into 1,000 different things without almost killing yourself doing it. Acting is a total drug!�

Meanwhile, she found her lifelong interest in crime a big help in her newfound acting pursuit — and not just for playing a crime-buster such as Abby. “Even without having any acting training whatsoever, I spent my time studying human behavior through psychology, sociology and criminal science,� she said. “I was a voracious student, and I ended up with the best background to be an actor ever, because I’d been studying human behavior in science for years and years.�

A & A

Tubby hubby a big issue Dear Abby: I am 35 and my husband is 45. When we met, he weighed 375 pounds. He has now hit the 600-pound mark. I have five kids, a fulltime job and go to school two nights a week. He talks about losing weight, but it’s easier to talk about than actually do.

He was in a car accident that left him with back problems, and on top of that he has bad knees from sports.

The future doesn’t look promising. I know that one day he’ll be confined to bed — I predict in the very near future — and I will have to drop everything to take care of him.

He is already dependent on me and the older kids to take care of him because he’s in pain all the time and can’t physically do anything. He doesn’t have insurance.

If I didn’t have a family to take care of, it might not be as big of an issue. This is very depressing. I am thinking of seeing a counselor. He has already told me that he won’t go.

Your input would be greatly appreciated. — Wife of a Big Man Dear Wife: Talk to a counselor right away. Unless you do something now, you will be unemployed and homebound with a sick husband and five dependent children.

Who enabled your helpless husband to gain all the weight?

His life depends upon him being on a strict, sensible nutrition regimen. Because he has no insurance, a self-help group could be a lifesaver.

Overeaters Anonymous may be able to give you some guidance and offer him emotional support. There are chapters nationwide, as near as your phone book, or contact them online at www.oa.org.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Frank,� and I have been together for four months. I’m 21 and he’s 31. He was married before. This is my first serious relationship.

Sometimes we get into heated arguments because he’s ready to “plan for the future� while I just want to go with the flow. He thinks I don’t

DEAR ABBY take our relationship seriously because I’m not ready to move in with him, get married or start a family yet. When I explain that I would love for all of that to happen — eventually — Frank says it seems more like a friendship than a relationship. That really hurts me, because I’m trying.

These arguments over my lack of “seriousness� are killing me. They started two months into the relationship.

I feel pressured. If the pressure continues, I’m feeling like we may not be able to be together. I need your advice, please. — Doing the Best I Can in Boston Dear Doing the Best You Can: You are a smart young woman with excellent instincts. Trust them. You feel pressured because you ARE being pressured. In fact, you’re being given the fullcourt press.

Pushing for a quick involvement/commitment is one of the warning signs of an abuser. Ask yourself, What’s the rush? Find out the reasons why his marriage failed. Stand your ground and don’t allow yourself to be pushed into anything you are not completely comfortable with. And if it persists, end the relationship.

Dear Abby: I’m seeing a counselor for my anxiety, and it bothers me that he yawns throughout each consultation.

He sometimes apologizes for it, though. Is this inappropriate behavior for a therapist? — Miffed in New Jersey Dear Miffed: Unless your counselor is starved for oxygen or burning the candle at both ends, yes, it is. And because it is distracting to you during your sessions, tell him if it doesn’t stop, you will have to find another counselor. — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

THURSDAY

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2011

By Jacqueline Bigar You could be torn between adventure and the status quo this year. If you are attached, a relationship could consume a lot of your energy. Invite your sweetie to join you on some adventures.

Both of you will smile more. If you are single, the people you attract could vary a great deal.

Find out with whom you are more comfortable. You’ll gain financially through others. You could hit the lottery or win at the right bingo game. Communication could be challenging at times. Confirm as much as you can. LEO paves the way to adventure.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH A personal matter could weigh on you. During the afternoon, you feel as if a veil has been lifted and your creativity flourishes once more. Kick back and enjoy yourself, even if you are at work. That touch of fun is always a plus. Tonight: You express your creativity in a new way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could be tired in the morning and dragging in the afternoon. If you can, take a catnap.

Your energy will soar. Insights or a dream could give you greater clarity about a situation. Use care with finances. Tonight: Head home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Handle finances in the morning, which also might include going shopping. If you are fortunate enough to use the a.m. for holiday purchases, you could be most effective. A problem quickly eliminates itself. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Let your creativity flourish.

Accept what is no longer workable, and let go. Someone could be negative without the ability or the intention of lightening up. Schedule some time for errands and other key activities in the afternoon. Tonight: Treat yourself well, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might feel a little sluggish when you start the day, but by the afternoon, your tune changes. Your ability to move forward and get to the bottom of a problem is enhanced.

Think twice about what is going on

around you. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You have a tendency to read between the lines with others.

Sometimes your assumptions could be off. Listen more and judge less.

Understand that what a person says might be 100 percent real for him or her, and he or she doesn’t see beyond it. Tonight: Do something nurturing just for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You see past the obvious and want more from the people you work or hang with. However, they might not have the same vision and cannot identify with what you see.

Walk in their shoes and help them walk in yours. Tonight: Follow the fun.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Remain in touch with your feelings. Sometimes it is difficult to not trigger or detach. In the morning, do whatever you need to do in order to get the appropriate distance. In the afternoon, others seem far more responsive. Tonight: Touch base with an older friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your energy is high. You’re able to accomplish a lot on a oneon-one level. Check out a new idea, and you’ll get past a problem with ease. You could be taken aback by the dynamics of another way of thinking.

Suddenly new paths open up. Tonight: Put on a great piece of music.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Don’t fight the current trend.

Others seem to dominate and cannot back off. Your ability to understand where another person is coming from could help. Discussions on a deeper level naturally evolve in the afternoon. Be bold and open. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Stick with your to-do list until you can’t anymore, or you choose not to. Open up to an associate or friend who has much to offer. You don’t need to be in sync with every idea. You simply need to listen and weigh the pros and cons.

Tonight: Lots of choices.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You have many ways of looking at a situation. You might not be comfortable with the status quo.

Stop — you have the imagination and savoir-faire to end a problem and expand from that point. If you are single, a small flirtation starts up out of nowhere. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

Gift ideas Continued from E1 “Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth”

By Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos H. Papadimitriou, illustrated by Alecos Papadatos and Annie Di Donna This fascinating graphic novel explores themes of science and philosophy, logic and madness, through the words of its narrator, Bertrand Russell. Russell was a logician and mathematician, a philosopher and social critic, and one of the 20th century’s most influential thinkers.

“Logicomix” spans decades, from Russell’s childhood in England to the beginning of World War II. The nature of logic and mathematics was a subject of furious debate at the time, with Russell at the center of a cadre of thinkers that also included Gottlob Frege, Georg Cantor, Henri Poincaré, David Hilbert and Alfred North Whitehead. Lest you think this book is just for math geeks (and I am decidedly not one), know that it is full of humanity. Intellectual challenge fills its pages, yes, but also self-doubt, failed relationships, the nature of madness in the search for truth and the role of logic and the human mind in our approach to problems on the worldwide stage.

Originally published in Greece, “Logicomix” also features intervals in which the book’s creators become characters themselves, explaining their process and how they came to view Russell and other great thinkers as superheroes in their own right.

— Julie Johnson, features editor

“The Imperfectionists”

By Tom Rachman A great book about the decline of newspapers and the journalists who still care about their craft.

— Sheila G. Miller, special projects reporter

“Where Men Win Glory”

By Jon Krakauer This is the story of Pat Tillman and how his death by friendly fire was covered up by the U.S. government.

— Sheila G. Miller, special projects reporter

“Homicide”

By David Simon If you loved the HBO TV show “The Wire,” then you’ll enjoy this old book about Baltimore’s killing streets in the 1990s. Simon wrote “The Wire” and this book spawned another TV show.

— Sheila G. Miller, special projects reporter

“Criminal Vol. 6: Last of the Innocent”

By Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips (Releases Dec. 21) A regretful New York City man looks back longingly at the smalltown life he left behind, and comes up with a dark plan to get his life back on track. Drenched in noir atmosphere and nostalgia for more innocent days, this volume collects a four-issue comic that originally published earlier this year.

Don’t worry if you haven’t read volumes 1-5; each is a standalone story, connected mostly by theme.

I hope this collection includes the incredible cover art from the original issues. (Punch the title into Google and bask in the pulpy glory.)

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips are longtime collaborators, but “Criminal” is by far their crowning achievement, and “Last of the Innocent” is possibly the best of the bunch. At the very least, it’s one of the best comics of 2011.

“Blood Knots”

By Luke Jennings Luke Jennings’ memoir made me feel like it was fine to be not so good at fly fishing. Jennings, the dance critic at the British newspaper The Observer, taught himself how to fish, and he lets loose on all the details of fishless outings.

He fishes the dank canals of London and the clear streams of the English countryside.

Persistence and mentors help guide his way to the dry fly. Jennings describes the wonder and frustration of fishing and, in doing so, writes a beautiful book about learning. Jennings also describes in a fascinating way the politics around casting before seeing a fish rise. But this is not just a fishing book; Jennings’ scope also includes war, conflict in Northern Ireland and family.

cinating, but it is the poignant characters who truly give this novel depth.

A quick read that will leave you feeling satisfied.

“Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead”

By Max Brooks A great gift for any time of the year, but the earlier you put this book in the hands of a loved one, the better their chances of surviving the ever-imminent zombie apocalypse.

— Scott Steussey, copy editor/designer

“The Enchantress of Florence”

By Salman Rushdie Rushdie’s novel is a treasure trove of lush prose, globe-hopping spirit and flourishes of magic realism. It’s the story of a traveler who comes to the court of Akbar to tell a tale that only the emperor may hear: a (somewhat winding) explanation of how the Italian storyteller is a relative of the Mughal ruler.

Those with a yen for adventure and swashbuckling can look forward to pirates, lost princesses and soldiers of fortune. And, for the literary minded, there are deep-rooted themes of identity, reality versus imagination, and right and wrong. Don’t go into it expecting historical accuracy, as there are certainly liberties taken for the benefit of plot and tone.

But then, this is fiction. And as the characters in this novel can attest, whether or not a tale is true is much less important than how it’s told.

MUSIC Kathleen Edwards, “Voyageur” One of the pitfalls of gifting music is that sometimes a person might already have the particular album you’re giving them.

And if you’re gifting an MP3 download, that can get especially tricky in terms of returns. So getting a pre-release album like this one is a good way to avoid such problems.

I haven’t heard Kathleen Edwards’ new album, slated to be released in January. But based on the strength of her previous three albums, I’d bet that at the very least, this one’s going to be good. Her songs and lyrics are just so great — smart, thoughtful and deep. Even though this album may not necessarily be on your gift receiver’s Christmas list, I think this it’s the kind of “listen to it — it’s good for you,” present that he or she may appreciate years down the road.

Even though it doesn’t come out until January, I think it’ll be worth the wait.

CeeLo Green, “The Lady Killer” With a mix of retro soul and modern catchy pop, this album is pure fun.

We blast it when it’s time to clean and end up dancing around the kitchen. Green’s style is often exuberant and his songs recall the greatness of 1970s soul without losing a contemporary edge. A word of caution: the single from this album was often sung as “Forget You,” but on the album the title is a much more explicit phrase.

— Besty Q. Cliff, health reporter

“Stone Arabia”

By Dana Spiotta In this novel, a woman relates the life story of her rock star wannabe brother, which is much less glamorous than the mostly fictional “chronicles” of his career that he produces over the years. Excerpts from the “chronicles,” including fake album reviews, pepper the chapters, offering a fascinating study in navel-gazing.

DVDS “The Outlaw Josey Wales” What great characters. What great lines.

What a great journey.

And now that this movie is out on Blu-ray, it makes it an even more awesome gift.

Considering that we live in Central Oregon, I’m sure there’s someone on your list who loves Westerns and would be delighted to receive this. I know I would.

This is my favorite Clint Eastwood movie, and my favorite Western. It’s got it all and more — memorable characters, excellent dialogue and great scenery. Plus, it’s a movie that stands up — and even gets better — with multiple viewings, making it an ideal gift. I reckon it’s hard to go wrong with this one.

— Megan Kehoe, news assistant/reporter

“Bridesmaids” One if the funniest movies of the year, about a down-on-her-luck single girl whose best friend’s approaching wedding throws her into a tailspin.

Yob, “ATMA” 2011 has been a pretty big year for metal in general, but one of my favorite releases has come from Eugene-based Yob. ATMA features most of your favorite doom-metal motifs, from crunchy guitars and pounding percussion to cookie-monster vocals and film dialogue overlays. The album stands out, however, because many of the songs are quite catchy — in their stoner-metal way — without being cheesy. ATMA would make a perfect stocking stuffer for the doom metal fan in your family. Now if only Yob would tour …

— Andy Zeigert, graphic artist

The Dodos, “No Color” Here’s a two-person guitar-and-drums band that actually isn’t a bluesrock powerhouse a la The Black Keys or White Stripes. What you get from The Dodos are organic sounds fueled by an acoustic guitar, propulsive drums and melodies with a more emotional hook.

That’s not to say they can’t rock. These guys are unafraid to veer off into a loud, clanging strumathon that goes where it wants and ends before ever returning to a verse or chorus. “No Color” is a nice blend of pop accessibility and kinetic experimentation, a good choice for anyone who enjoys music at the indie end of the spectrum.

— Breanna Hostbjor, features assistant

Starf--ker, “Reptilians” Basically, this is blissed-out electro-pop to make the indie kids dance.

The inner critic in me feels like I should shun this for being so happy and easy to like.

It’s only a matter of time before one of these songs ends up in a Volkswagen commercial or a National Public Radio segue. But the album is just too much fun. I can’t resist.

The good news is I’m too lame to actually dance 99 percent of the time in real life. So this album is a good mental outlet for me, a place I can go in my head and dance in a figurative sense. It saves me and everyone around me a lot of embarrassment, I’m sure.

But for those of you who actually get out on the dance floor, “Reptilians” shouldn’t be missed.

And as far as appropriateness goes, the band name is the only thing about the album that could be construed as offensive.

Florence + The Machine, “Ceremonials” The second album from British super star Florence Welch. Perfect for fans of The Machine. The first album, “Lungs,” may be best for those not familiar with the group.

— Scott Steussey, copy editor/designer

Lucinda Williams, “Blessed” Some songs on this alt-country singer and guitarist’s 2011 album portray a more confident Williams than usual. But a few songs, thankfully, provide Williams’ specialty: despondent minor-key confessions where her lilting voice — compared to Janis Joplin’s — softly shines.

“Community” Like your TV shows to come with a strange, offbeat cast of characters?

Like the dialog to zing along at rapid pace, with jokes sometimes coming so fast that you need to pause, rewind and rewatch a scene just to make sure you got it all, because every joke is too good too miss? Add to that constant genre-bending plotlines that transform classics — from Westerns to “Goodfellas” — and you’ve got “Community.” This NBC comedy is first-rate hilarious. People who love odd humor will not want to miss things like the chemistry between Abed and Troy or the paintball episodes. The first two seasons are now available on DVD.

The illustrated Hebrew manuscript was discovered in an underground bank vault where it had been protected from thieves during the Bosnian War. The story’s main character investigates the history the Haggadah through an examination of the particles, stains and insects found in its pages.

DESIGN GIFTS

By Alison Highberger For The Bulletin

Don’t forget home sweet home when you’re thinking about holiday gifts. Artsy and interior design-loving friends and relatives are sure to appreciate presents for their residences.

Central Oregon has a bounty of stores with lovely and unusual home decor items, from little touches like small bird sculptures and jazzy place mats to one-of-a-kind handmade art objects and unusual furniture pieces.

We asked four local home design experts and shop owners, from The Feather’s Edge, furnish., Bend Bungalow and Twigs Home & Garden, to pick four of their favorite home decor items of the year.

Each one came up with high-end, stocking stuffer, and mediumpriced gift suggestions to help inspire your gift-giving.

For vodka cocktails, pick a flavor, any flavor

By Alison Highberger For The Bulletin

If you’re a wine or beer person, and rarely sip a cocktail, you may be unaware of the explosion of flavored vodkas on liquor store shelves and in bars and restaurants around the country.

Stroll down a store’s vodka aisle sometime.

The variety of flavors is entertaining: cake, cotton candy, ginger, kiwi-strawberry, chipotle, pear, cherry lemonade, whipped cream, chocolate whipped cream, green apple, espresso, marshmallow, root beer, bubble gum, peach, mango, red velvet cake, mandarin, passion fruit, wasabi, grape and even smoked salmon.

“We carry bacon, tarragon, saffron, every fruit you can think of, vegetables, cucumber and tomato,” said Mark Merrick, an employee at the East Bend Liquor store, referring to its vodka section.

Vodka sales are up nationwide, and flavored vodkas have been on the rise since 2000, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.

“Steadily on the rise. I can tell you vodka is the No. 1 spirit in the United States, and right now there are more than 800 brands of vodka on the market,” said Danielle Eddy, a spokeswoman for DISCUS, in a phone interview from her office in Bronx, N.Y. Rum comes in second as America’s most popular distilled spirit.

“If you doubled the rum category, you still wouldn’t have the market share that vodka does. Vodka is 32.3 percent of the entire spirits market in the U.S., with 55.9 million cases sold in the U.S. in 2009.” Each case contains a dozen 750 mililiter bottles.

Eddy told us that in 2000, flavored vodkas made up 7.9 percent of the market.

By 2007, it was up to 13.8 percent.

“In the last ten years, there’s been more than a 50 percent increase in the number of flavored vodkas on the market, “ Eddy said.

Flavored vodka is the featured alcohol in some popular Central Oregon restaurant cocktails. Bartenders at The Blacksmith and Tart Bistro in Bend make creative drinks with vodkas they flavor and infuse themselves. They also use commercial brands of flavored vodka.

The Hot Passion Pomegranate Martini at Tart Bistro (see recipe, Page F2) gets its heat from pepper vodka that you can buy or make yourself.

Paperwhites pacify the pangs of poinsettia withdrawal

By Liz Douville For The Bulletin

I would never discredit the beauty of a holiday arrangement of poinsettias. But truthfully, don’t you agree that after the tree is down

and the decorations put away, poinsettias seem a bit much?

They still look somewhat presentable; maybe it’s just that they have lost their luster in my mind. To be blunt, I am ready to thank them for

providing their holiday cheer and then dump them. Sounds brutal, but how many of us have thought the plant needed to stick around till its last dying bract has dropped — and that usually isn’t till close to

February?

Try salvaging it for next year and you will discover a process that usually involves lots of work with negative results.

I’ll admit that the lack of the splash of red bracts

leaves me feeling sad, and I definitely feel pangs of color withdrawal. Since it is a long time before spring bulbs start breaking through, I have adopted a plan B. See Paperwhites / F5

Vodka Continued from F1 “The cocktail is slightly sweet, tangy, tropical with a spicy, satisfying finish. This is a great cocktail anytime. I invented it originally for Valentine’s Day. Very sensuous and stimulating,” said John Hansen, assistant manager and sommelier at Tart, in downtown Bend.

The White Peach Cosmo is the most popular drink at Tart, Hansen said, and he’s seeing a younger crowd ordering it. That fits with demographic reports from DISCUS showing that 21- to 24-yearolds are the biggest category of vodka drinkers.

“It’s nice to be appreciated by a younger culture. They’re educating themselves and drinking a much more sophisticated level of drink.

They like the fresh juices and organic purees. People literally come in and ask me what my vodka infusions are, before I hand them a menu. A good infusion you should be able to drink straight up, on the rocks. They stand alone.

It’s neat to see that people are not drinking oversugared and overalcoholed drinks now,” said Hansen.

The Blacksmith in Bend is another popular spot for cocktails. This year the restaurant made its own bacon, tarragon, habanero and bubble gum flavored vodkas, among others.

“They’re fun. We use Bazooka for that classic bubble gum flavor, and it goes in a Bubble Gum Lemon Drop.

Our most popular cocktail is the Hot Pink, which includes Bendistillery’s Mazama Infused Pepper Vodka,” said Jon Hardy, food and beverage director at The Blacksmith.

The Blacksmith’s rotating drink menu includes a BLT Cocktail (with house-made bacon vodka) and Espresso Correcto, made with Bendistillery’s Cofia Hazelnut Espresso vodka. The Blacksmith’s Vulcan Cocktail has

there’s no added sugar,” Hardy said.

Nobody knows exactly where this explosion of vodka flavors originated. It parallels the growth of the “cocktail culture” in the U.S. over the past decade, and speculation has it that television played a role in this beverage trend.

Float a dried chile or fresh chile slice on top for a garnish.

shows like “Sex in the City,” where lead character Carrie Bradshaw’s cocktail of choice was a cosmpolitan, and “Mad Men,” with its profusion of retro 1960s drinks, may be the inspiration for the vodka flavor revolution. Add to that a generation of 20-somethings who grew up drinking beverages with wild flavors, from soft drinks to flavored waters and energy drinks, and you have palates that crave big flavors.

“You can go anywhere and get a Coors Light or a screwdriver. We’re trying to make something people will respond to,” said Hansen.

The industry predicts there’s no end to the variety of vodka flavors in the future.

“Vodka is a nice blank canvas for any flavor you’re putting into it. It can go anywhere. I didn’t think I’d ever see a salmon-flavored vodka, but it’s here,” said Eddy of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.

Holiday cookies, creative and addictive

By Joe Yonan

Frangelico Crinkles

The Washington Post

“Watch your step,” Stephanie Willis says, as we carefully descend into the basement kitchen in Washington, D.C. “It’s a little precarious.”

She’s not kidding. Even once we’re downstairs, there is so little space for Willis and fellow baker Jenna Huntsberger to maneuver as they swirl chocolate into pumpkin puree, fill brownie sandwich cookies with vanilla cream and bake off pear cobblers that when Willis needs to fetch a tool, she and I have to do a little trading-places dance.

Such is the challenge for upstart bakers whose primary “storefront” is a part-real, part-virtual combination of farmers market stand and online ordering system. As the brain trust and elbow grease behind Whisked!, the two women are grateful for the affordable kitchen space, where they bake twice a week.

Cookies, naturally, have been a mainstay, around the holidays more than ever.

When The Washington Post asked them to develop recipes for its annual cookie section, they were elated, but for an unexpected reason: “We really wanted to be able to use expensive ingredients,” Huntsberger confesses. “It was so liberating.”

The cookies Willis and Huntsberger came up with, as well as creations from other bakeries, represent the bakers’ commitment to developing flavors, whether that toasting the pistachios in the oatmeal cookies or adding one of the most addictive ingredients possible to a thumbprint cookie: “You can put Nutella in anything, and people will love it,” Huntsberger says.

Makes about 36 cookies.

Make ahead: The dough needs to be refrigerated for at least 3 hours and up to overnight. For best results, do not freeze this dough. The cookies can be stored in an airtight tin for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.

11⁄4 C flour 1 TBS baking powder 1 ⁄2 tsp salt 12 oz top-quality semisweet or dark baking chocolate, such as Valrhona, chopped 6 TBS (3⁄4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Heat a few inches of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Combine the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl that is large enough to sit over the saucepan. Heat just long enough for them to melt, stirring to incorporate. Remove from the heat.

Whisk together the eggs and sugar (by hand) in a mixing bowl until the mixture has lightened in color.

Add the cooled chocolate mixture, vanilla extract, cream and liqueur, stirring to incorporate, then gently and gradually fold in the flour mixture to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the sifted confectioners’ sugar on a plate.

Shape a heaping tablespoon of dough into a ball, then roll to coat completely in the confectioners’ sugar. Repeat to use all of the dough, spacing the dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time for 9 to 11 minutes; the cookies will be puffed and cracked but soft in the center. Do not overbake.

Transfer to the stove top (off the heat). Cool for 2 minutes on the sheet, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Cherry Pistachio Oatmeal Cookies Makes 24 cookies.

1

⁄2 C (2 oz) raw, unsalted pistachios 3 ⁄4 C (33⁄4 oz) flour 1 ⁄4 tsp baking powder 1 ⁄4 tsp salt 1 ⁄8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg 11⁄2 C (5 oz) old-fashioned rolled oats (do not use quickcooking or instant oats)

Salty Chocolate Nutella Thumbprints Makes 30 to 35 cookies.

2 C (10 oz) flour 1 C plus 1 TBS (3.2 oz) natural unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted 2 tsp kosher salt 16 TBS (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at a very soft room temperature 11⁄3 C (9.3 oz) sugar, plus 1 C for finishing the cookies 2 lg egg yolks, at room temperature 2 TBS heavy cream 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 C Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)

Frangelico Crinkles are a sophisticated cookie suitable for the season.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line one of two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone liner.

Spread the pistachios on the unlined baking sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes, until toasted. Cool completely, then coarsely chop. Line that baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl, then stir in the rolled oats.

Combine the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer; beat on low speed for about 2 minutes or until fluffy.

Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating on low speed until incorporated. Stop to scrape down the bowl.

Gradually add the flour mixture, beating (on low) just until combined.

Stir in the toasted, chopped pistachios and the dried cherries.

Scoop 12 heaping tablespoons of the batter onto each baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are barely set.

Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely. Repeat to use all of the dough.

Makes 60 cookies.

Make ahead: The dough needs at least 2 hours in the fridge. It can be frozen for up to 1 month.

1 ⁄2 tsp salt 2 TBS finely chopped Thai basil 11⁄2 C flour, plus more for the work surface

For the cookies: Combine the butter, confectioners’ sugar, salt, basil, lime zest and juice in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on low speed to combine, then on medium speed until creamy and smooth. Reduce the speed to low; add the cornstarch and flour in several additions, beating until the dough comes together.

Lightly flour a work surface. Transfer the dough to the surface; shape the dough into two 10inch logs. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.

8 TBS (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 ⁄2 C (31⁄2 oz) granulated sugar 1 ⁄2 C (31⁄2 oz) packed light brown sugar 1 lg egg 1 ⁄2 tsp vanilla extract 1 ⁄2 C (2 oz) dried sour cherries, coarsely chopped

Lime Thai Basil Shortbread With Passion Fruit Glaze

FOR THE COOKIES: 16 TBS (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 ⁄2 C confectioners’ sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone liner.

Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a small bowl.

Combine the butter and 11⁄3 cups of sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat for about 2 minutes on low speed, until fluffy, then add the egg yolks, cream and vanilla extract; beat on low speed until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.

Place the remaining cup of sugar in a shallow bowl.

Scoop 30 to 35 heaping tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets. Shape each mound of dough into a ball, then roll it in the remaining sugar to coat evenly.

Space the balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheets, then use your thumb to make an indentation in the top of each cookie, gently flattening the cookies a bit as you work.

Bake one sheet at a time for 10 minutes or until the edges are just set; the tops of the cookies will be soft. (If the indentations have lost definition, press the centers again immediately after you remove the cookies from the oven.) Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool. Pipe or spoon the Nutella into the center of each cookie while the cookies are still slightly warm.

Serve or store once the Nutella centers have slightly set.

2 extra-lg eggs, at room temperature 1 ⁄2 C plus 3 TBS sugar 1 TBS vanilla extract 1 ⁄4 C heavy whipping cream 6 TBS Frangelico (hazelnutflavored) liqueur 1 C confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Finely grated zest and freshly squeezed juice from 1 or 2 limes (2 tsp zest, 1 TBS juice) 1 ⁄2 C cornstarch

FOR THE GLAZE: 11⁄2 C sifted confectioners’ sugar 3 TBS concentrated passion fruit juice 1 TBS heavy cream

Discard the wrap. Cut the logs into ¼-inch slices, arranging the slices 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time for 9 to 11 minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat to use all of the dough.

Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners’ sugar, concentrated passion fruit juice and heavy cream in a medium bowl until smooth.

Place a sheet of parchment paper under the wire rack to catch any drips from the glaze.

Use a spoon to drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled cookies. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes before serving or storing.

Next week: Last-minute stocking stuffers for gardeners

Paperwhites Continued from F1 I purchased some paperwhite bulbs, but rather than schedule them for the traditional Christmas bloom, I will plan for the heady scent and delicate white blooms to be enjoyed later in January when the winter doldrums are starting to set in.

Paperwhites (Narcissus papyraceus) is a bulb that can be forced into bloom with very little effort.

Paperwhites are native to the Mediterranean countries.

Scholars say descriptions can be found in writings of Homer.

The Greeks were suspicious of their strong fragrance. Today, Israel is one of the major sources of paperwhite bulbs imported to the U.S. The bulbs are said to be cultivated on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

Paperwhites will bloom four to six weeks after planting. If you are feeling flush and the checkbook isn’t too depleted from holiday shopping, you can buy enough bulbs to provide you with blooms throughout the winter. Keep the bulbs in a cool, dry place until it’s time to plant, which would be every two to three weeks.

Paperwhite bulbs are available in bulk at local nurseries.

They are also available in prepotted containers, boxed for gift giving.

Paperwhites are traditionally grown on a bed of washed pebbles, marbles or gravel rather than in dirt, with the exception of the pre-potted gift boxes. You can find specially designed containers for forcing at garden centers, or any shallow container three to four inches deep without drainage holes will do. Check out some of the thrift stores for a shallow cut-glass container for a formal look, or choose a pottery bowl for a more casual look.

You will need about two inches of the growing medium in the bottom of the container.

Pebbles and marbles are available at craft stores, garden centers or local nurseries.

Place the bulbs pointed side up on the medium. They should be close, but not touching. Five bulbs would fit nicely into a six-inch container.

The big objection most often heard about forcing paperwhites is their floppy growth, which can be controlled by staking or tying support to the tall blooms.

Jason Eslamieh waters the plants on his property in Tempe, Ariz. Eslamieh’s book “Cultivation of Boswellia: Sacred Trees of Frankincense,” contains tips he has perfected since starting Miniatree Garden, a nursery focused on succulents from areas like South Africa and Somalia, with an eBay storefront in 2007.

Growers can coax paperwhites to have shorter, sturdier stems with help from a little alcohol.

Now we learn that all that floppiness can be put under control with a little gin, vodka or whiskey. The boozy research from Cornell University points to some interesting plant development.

In 2006 Bill Miller, director of the Flower Bulb Research Program at Cornell University, said he could imagine how alcohol (ethanol) might promote short, sturdy stems if you added just the right amount of alcohol. His thinking being that the alcohol would interfere with water uptake; there would be less water pressure on the stem cells, resulting in less cell stretching, so therefore the stems would be shorter.

Miller, with the help of a horticulture student, started running experiments. The results were that stems end up approximately a third shorter if the bulbs get just a little tipsy. He shares his results as follows.

“Start your bulbs in plain water. When roots have formed and the green shoot is 1 to 2 inches long, pour off the water and replace with a solution of 4 to 6 percent alcohol.

If you are using 80 proof liquor (40 percent alcohol), that works out to one part gin (or the like) to seven parts water.

“Rubbing alcohol (either 70 or 100 percent isopropyl alcohol) can be substituted: just remember to dilute it more. Keep the beer and wine for yourself; their sugars damage plants.”

“As with humans, paperwhites can also suffer alcohol overdoses! We suggest 4-6 percent alcohol as a normal and safe range. Moderation is the key!”

In answer to the question of whether the system could be used in pots with dirt, the answer from Miller was yes, but he tends to use a slightly lower concentration of alcohol (maybe 1 to 8 dilution).

A tip from a blogger was not to use cheap whiskey, as the results were equivalent to a “hotel room the morning after it hosted the birthday party of a 21-year-old.”

If you suffer from winter depression along about late January, you might think about stockpiling some bulbs and doing some experimenting.

Seasonal cheer cruises the fast lane

By Adrian Higgins The Washington Post

The wreath was all the rage in ancient Rome, functioning as laurel headgear for the worthies, but today we know it better as a festive yuletide icon. Apart from its religious symbolism, the wreath becomes a fabulous vehicle for showing the happy confluence of the beauty of nature and the eye of the artist.

Wreaths force us to look at needles, leaves, nuts and seedpods in a way that we would dismiss on the plant, and they should be valued for that alone. But there is one enduring if not widespread wreath ritual that goes mostly unnoticed, which is a shame.

I refer to the auto wreath, that ring of green that goes before the radiator grille. It is the Christmas wreath not so much in your face as in your rearview mirror. Today, the grille wreath barely registers with most motorists, and it is a gesture that seems to belong to the past, but there are still a number of souls who dutifully tie their wreaths to the front of their automobiles.

Is this classy, pretentious, corny, what? Who cares, if it spreads a little cheer where it

is sorely needed: on our congested highways.

The problem for the wreathon-wheels set is that most modern conveyances have none of the presence of automobiles of yore. Cars today are technologically advanced blobs, better in every way from the succession of old bangers that I have known, except in style and character. That aesthetic dig is just my view, of course, but I can’t imagine a Smart car riding down the road announced by a wreath. It would look like a gift box on the lam.

Some classic cars, it’s true, were distinguished by their ugliness. In the 1970s, a decade where fashion generally took a powder, there were hideous station wagons, wrapped in acres of “wood” that eventually peeled. But they had grilles on which you could stick a wreath, and they had long roof rails “where you could wind garlands,” said John Jendza, an automotive historian in Mount Clemens, Mich.

At the Dan and Bryan Christmas Trees lot in Washington, Bryan Holler noted his first auto wreath sale the other day. For today’s smaller grilles, he advises a petite, 12-inch Advent or candle wreath. He pre-

Don’t Replace ... Reface and save thousands!

fers noble fir wreaths, and not just for automotive use. “The balsam wreath doesn’t seem to hold up quite as well.”

He does wonder, though, how a live wreath would fare as an automobile figurehead.

“I think that would be a good place for an artificial wreath, because of the heat and the sun and things dropping back into the radiator.”

The radiator emits heat, but the bigger problem for a live wreath would be the constant, drying air movement. It would be “torture,” said Peggy Bier of Merrifield Garden Center in Virginia. She too suggests a small artificial wreath.

But there are traditionalists, and quite a few customers at Johnson’s Garden Center in Washington want auto wreaths and want them live, said David Martin, assistant general manager. “People think they can smell it in the car,” he said. It might help to get a pine-scented air freshener.

Turns out you can grow frankincense in the U.S. • You just have to live in Arizona.

And be really, really dedicated.

By Michael Tortorello New York Times News Service

The holiest plant of the Christmas season may be a raggedy shrub with peeling bark that seems to grow best in a dusty backyard in Tempe, Ariz.

This is Boswellia sacra, better known as the frankincense tree. The shrub’s gum resin is one of the three biblical gifts that the wise men bestowed on the infant Jesus.

Until recently, Americans who wished to cultivate their own frankincense could only hope for another biblical house call. Marc Hachadourian, who manages the Nolen Greenhouses at the New York Botanical Garden, describes frankincense seed as hard to find and harder still to grow.

“In horticulture, there are a few plants that we joke about that have a miserable life,” he said. “Boswellia is only happy in its native environment. And even then, it’s not as happy as it could be.”

Today, a seeker can follow a bright star (OK, an eBay storefront) to a nursery called the Miniatree Garden, in a two-bedroom house near Arizona State University. Here, across the street from a shabby apartment complex advertising move-in specials, lies an oasis for more than 3,000 exotic plants representing 300 species.

One of these is frankincense. Another is a rangy assemblage of vicious thorns, called myrrh, a second gift of the Magi. (Commiphora myrrha is “scruffy” and “not very personable,” Hachadourian said.)

This efflorescence in the Sonoran Desert is the vision of a 61-year-old architect named Jason Eslamieh. Yet for all his labors, the garden seems to exist almost by chance. How did a Bahai student from Iran with the given name Mohammad land in small-town Indiana, marry a Mormon by way of Texas and Mexico, score a bag of seeds from an Ameri-

“Boswellia is only happy in its native environment. And even then, it’s not as happy as it could be,” says Marc Hachadourian, who manages the Nolen Greenhouses at the New York Botanical Garden.

can consultant in Yemen and become a guardian to the sacred plants of Christendom?

The answer is what could only be an American Christmas story.

A good time to find Eslamieh working in the garden is anytime at all. He lives with his wife a few miles from the garden, down the street from his dear granddaughters. But for a couple of weeks last month, he was also sleeping on an air mattress at the Miniatree office while he tried to turn a snoozy Rottweiler puppy named Sacra into a fearsome guard dog.

“We got broken into twice that we know of,” Eslamieh said, walking through a French door into the half-acre backyard. “I don’t care about material things. They could come here and steal my computer. I don’t care.”

But it was intolerable to imagine the plants being vandalized.

“Twenty years of work into the three genera of the Burseraceae is something I cannot replace.”

It has been no mean feat to assemble all 19 species of the

genus Boswellia. (Eslamieh knows of no one else in the world who cultivates the full set.) Five or six of these species are endemic to the island of Socotra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, near the mouth of the Gulf of Aden, with a ban on botanical exports. Other Boswellia reside in the anarchic hinterlands of Yemen and Somalia.

Having summoned the Boswellia to his sanctuary, he now has to keep the plants contented. In his new book, “Cultivation of Boswellia: Sacred Trees of Frankincense,” Eslamieh credits his knack for horticulture to his father, who kept an exquisite garden in Yazd, a provincial capital in central Iran.

In the family orchard, he said, “I learned how to graft when I was only 6 or 7 years old.”

Boswellia sacra is not much of a looker. While Sacra the dog napped on the patio, Eslamieh inspected a head-high shrub, started from seeds fieldcollected in Yemen. The paired leaves appeared small and crinkled. But the exfoliating bark was something else again: ocher and papery, like a sheet of baking parchment scorched in the oven.

Eslamieh appreciates the plant less for its pulchritude than its deeper botanical riddles. He can predict rain from the swelling of the nodes along the branches. When the barometric pressure drops, he said, the Boswellia “take every opportunity to grow, to flower, to set seeds.”
