Prestigious public universities in peril, as are dreams

By Daniel de Vise The Washington Post

BERKELEY, Calif. — Across the nation, a historic collapse in state funding for higher education threatens to diminish the stature of premier public universities and erode their mission as engines of upward social mobility.

At the University of Virginia, state support has dwindled in two decades from 26 percent of the operating budget to 7 percent. At the University of Michigan, it has declined from 48 percent to 17 percent.

Not even the nation’s finest public university is immune.

The University of California at Berkeley, birthplace of the free-speech movement, home to nine living Nobel laureates, subsists now in perpetual austerity. Star faculty take mandatory furloughs. Classes grow perceptibly larger each year. Roofs leak; email crashes. One employee mows the entire campus. Wastebaskets are emptied once a week. Some professors lack telephones.

Behind these indignities lie deeper problems. The state share of Berkeley’s operating budget has slipped since 1991 from 47 percent to 11 percent. Tuition has doubled in six years, and the university is admitting more students from out of state willing to pay a premium for a Berkeley degree. This year, for the first time, the university collected more money from students than from California.

“The issue that’s being addressed at Berkeley, fundamentally, is the future of the high-quality public university in America,” said Robert Reich, the former labor secretary, now a public policy professor at Berkeley.

SALEM — Starting Jan. 1, drunken drivers will face stiffer penalties, foster children will receive tuition waivers to attend the state’s colleges and universities, and some retired health care workers can pitch in during a state emergency.

Dozens of changes in state law take effect Sunday.

In the 2011 legislative session, the Oregon House was evenly split, with 30 Republicans and 30 Democrats, for the first time in the state’s history. The split, many said, mandated bipartisan work and resulted in fewer extreme bills becoming law. There were, however, more than 400 bills passed, hitting a variety of topics, and dozens of them will become law New Year’s Day. Drunken drivers will face heftier fines and penalties.

The fine for a driver convicted of driving under the influence of intoxicants will increase from $130 to $230, and the cost of the diversion program jumps from $261 to $361. To enter the diversion program, a driver will now be required to install an ignition interlock device that would prevent the car from starting if the person’s blood-alcohol content is above the legal limit.

Lawmakers also tightened regulations on the use of handheld cellphones. Now, unless a driver is in an emergency situation and calling for help, or is driving a roadside assistance vehicle or tow truck, he or she cannot make calls without using hands-free technology.

A driver unhooks a mail trailer Tuesday while making a delivery to the U.S. Postal Service processing center in Bend. The facility is one of 252 the Postal Service is considering no longer using. In Bend’s case, that would mean local mail would be consolidated here, be taken to Portland for processing and then be shipped back.

TOP NEWS IOWA: Occupy protesters plan demonstrations, A3

Tougher DUII rule among new laws

A crowd of mostly postal workers and their families gathered in The Riverhouse Convention Center’s conference room Tuesday night to voice concerns over the U.S. Postal Service’s consideration of a plan to stop using the Bend Post Office as a distribution center.

Bend is one of 252 mail processing centers nationwide the Postal Service is looking to close to counter its sharp decline in revenue over the past five years. Other centers in the state slated for possible closure are in Salem, Eugene and Pendleton.

Portland Senior Plant Manager Lisa Shear told community members that a dramatic decline in mail volume — particularly first-class mail — has decreased the need for so many distribution processing centers nationwide. As a result, the Postal Service is considering reducing the current number of distribution centers — 151,000 — by an-

other 35,000 within the next two years.

“We’re no longer growing,” Shear said.

“We’re contracting, and that’s a very difficult place to be in.”

Shear said if the plan were implemented, the Bend office would still serve as a place where local mail was consolidated before being transported to Portland, where it would be processed and then shipped back to Bend.

But several post office workers questioned the efficiency of a plan that would call for additional shipping between Bend and Portland, a distance of 169 miles.

They also took issue with how such a change would affect mail delivery and the local economy.

Postal Service representatives said closing the Bend processing center would save $2.1 million a year. But the move would also eliminate 17 jobs and increase local firstclass mail delivery time from one day to two or three days.

The most widespread medical implant failure in decades — involving thousands of all-metal artificial hips that need to be replaced prematurely — has entered a new phase, the money one.

Medical and legal experts estimate the hip failures may cost taxpayers, insurers, employers and others billions of dollars in coming years, contributing to the soaring cost of health care. The financial fallout is expected to be unusually large and complex because the episode involves a class of products, not a single device or just one company.

The case of Thomas Dougherty represents one particularly costly example. He spent five months this year without a left hip, largely stuck on a recliner watching his medical bills soar.

Under Obama, hidden apparatus for drone killing emerges

By Greg Miller The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s counterterrorism accomplishments are most apparent in what it has been able to dismantle, including CIA prisons and entire tiers of al-Qaida’s leadership.

But what the administration has assembled, hidden from public view, may be equally consequential.

In the space of three years, the administration has built an extensive apparatus for using drones to carry out targeted killings of suspected terrorists and surveillance of other adversaries. The apparatus involves dozens of secret facilities, including two hubs on the East Coast, virtual cockpits in the Southwest and clandestine bases in at least six countries on two continents.

Other commanders in chief have presided over wars with far higher casualty counts. But no president has ever relied so extensively on the secret killing of individuals to advance the nation’s security goals.

FOCUS: ENVIRONMENT

Turning animal waste into energy

By David Zucchino Los Angeles Times

www.bendbulletin.com

Discoveries, breakthroughs, trends, names in the news — things you need to know to start your day.

YADKINVILLE, N.C. — Loyd Bryant used to pump manure from his 8,640 hogs into a fetid lagoon, where it raised an unholy stink and released methane and ammonia into the air. The tons of manure excreted daily couldn’t be used as fertilizer because of high nitrogen content.

The solution to Bryant’s hog waste problem was right under his nose — in the manure itself.

A new waste-processing system — essentially a small power plant — installed on his 154-acre farm uses bacteria to digest the waste and burns methane to produce electricity.

It also converts toxic ammonia into forms of nitrogen that can be used as fertilizer for more profitable crops.

Waste-to-energy systems have been around for at least 15 years. But Duke University, which helped develop and pay for Bryant’s system, says this one is the cleanest in existence — and virtually the only one that tackles all of the environmental problems created by animal waste.

The system was built with off-the-shelf parts and simple design plans that are free for the asking. It’s poised to become the standard for a cleaner waste-to-energy model that brings together farmers, utilities and private companies in an environmentally friendly effort.

“It does it in a way that is not overly complicated and stands to yield many more benefits beyond energy production and environmental protection,” said Tatjana Vujic, director of Duke University’s Carbon Offsets Initiative.

The $1.2 million project is funded by the university, Duke Energy and Google, which operates a data center in nearby Lenoir, N.C. All three, along with Bryant, will benefit.

Bryant saves money on electricity and gets a cleaner farm.

Improved air quality in his hog barns also means his pigs will have lower mortality rates and convert feed more efficiently, fattening Bryant’s profits.

Duke University and Google earn carbon offset credits from the system. And Duke Energy gets renewable energy credits in a state where a new law requires utilities to produce a small percentage of electricity from renewable resources beginning next year. North Carolina is the only state that will require a portion of that “set-aside” to include electricity produced from hog waste.

Bryant, whose family has farmed the rolling Piedmont of central North Carolina for four generations, says the 65-kilowatt turbine generates enough electricity to power the system — and five of Bryant’s nine hog barns, where giant fans hum day and night. The digester captures methane equivalent

Power-generating hogs North Carolina farmer Loyd Bryant has started using a new system to process the waste from his 8,640 hogs.

Developed with Duke University, it turns manure into electricity, reduces atmospheric pollution and creates usable forms of fertilizer for raising more profitable crops.

IN HISTORY to 5,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year and produces enough electricity to power 35 homes a year.

“It’s cut my electric bill in half, and it’s going to make it so I can grow corn and wheat and beans,” Bryant, 71, said as he stomped across the sticky clay soil around the aeration basin.

••• The project is attracting national attention at a time when a growing number of U.S. livestock farms use various types of waste-to-energy systems to produce electricity and reduce greenhouse gases.

The Duke system is “pioneering,” said Gary Gero, president of Climate Action Reserve in Los Angeles, a nonprofit group that runs the nation’s largest carbon-offset registry and which developed the protocols that register and verify carbon offsets on Bryant’s farm.

Gero said the project shows that digester systems can benefit farmers, the environment and corporations while solving myriad environmental problems not entirely addressed by other systems. “They’re taking it to a new level,” he said.

The number of waste-toenergy systems nationally is growing every year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Last year, 162 digester systems on U.S. farms produced 435 million kilowatthours of electricity — enough to power 25,000 homes for a year.

The systems reduced methane emissions by 51,000 metric tons and produced enough electricity to avoid 264,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants

— comparable to removing 235,000 cars from the roads.

The reduction in methane emissions last year was nearly 22 times as great as in 2000, according to the EPA. If 8,200 eligible dairy and hog farms nationwide used the systems, the EPA estimates, they could generate enough electricity to power 980,000 homes for a year. They would create the equivalent of removing 6.7 million cars from the roads by reducing methane emissions and avoiding power plant carbon dioxide emissions.

Hog farm digester systems have special potential in North Carolina, which trails only Iowa in the number of hogs raised and where almost all farms rely on waste lagoons.

Six hog farms in North Carolina have converted to waste-to-energy systems. Wisconsin has the most livestock farms using the systems, with 26, followed by New York and Pennsylvania with 22 each, and California and Vermont with 11 each.

••• Digesters will spread as scientists figure out ways to make them cheaper and more efficient, says C. Mike Williams, director of the Animal and Poultry Waste Management Center at North Carolina State University. The EPA already offers incentives and technical assistance to farmers nationwide to promote the expansion of digester systems.

“Farmers like the idea of using every bit of what comes off their farms,” said Vujic, of Duke University, as she walked near barns full of squealing hogs on Bryant’s farm. “They can manage their waste and

save money while doing it.”

Digesters cost more than a lagoon, so some corporate factory farms that dominate the dairy and hog industries are reluctant to convert, the EPA acknowledges. Bryant paid nothing to install the digester system. The university, the power company and Google will cover operating costs for 10 years. After that, Bryant will own and operate the system himself.

The Duke system is a pilot project that was expensive to design and test, Vujic said, but new versions will be cheaper.

And because North Carolina farmers are no longer allowed to expand unless they convert lagoon-and-sprayfield systems to waste management systems — after Hurricane Floyd ruptured hog lagoons in North Carolina in 1999 — the new model offers a way to expand their farms and profits.

Bryant previously planted only low-value millet and fescue grass, which can better absorb high nitrogen in lagoon effluent. But because the digester system cleans wastewater and transforms nitrogen into usable forms, fields sprayed with the water are ideal for raising cash crops such as corn or wheat.

“It’s a pretty good deal,” Bryant said. “I’ll be able to put in corn and wheat and beans, and I’ll get more yield on less land.”

It smells a lot better around the farm these days too. There’s a faint whiff of manure, but nothing like the overwhelming and persistent stench of hog waste lagoons.

“People tell me the smell’s a lot better now,” Bryant said.

“To tell you the truth, the smell never bothered me. I just love hogs.”

Smoking during pregnancy may be tied to vascular damage in children McClatchy-Tribune News Service LOS ANGELES — Children of parents who smoke during pregnancy may show signs of vascular damage by the age of 5.

A study in the January 2012 issue of the journal Pediatrics looked at the effects of parental smoking during pregnancy and afterward on 259 children.

Mothers filled out questionnaires about their smoking habits soon after their children were born, and both parents were asked about their smok-

ing habits when the children were 5 years old.

At that age children also had their carotid arteries tested via ultrasound to check for signs of vascular disease. Vascular damage was seen in children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy, after adjusting for factors such as gender, breastfeeding and maternal age.

The association between vascular damage and smoking was strongest if both parents smoked during pregnancy. However, no link was seen

between vascular damage and mothers smoking only after pregnancy.

“Our study shows that tobacco smoke exposure during gestation has structural and functional effects on the vascular wall of young children,” the authors wrote. “Clearly, fetuses are exposed to the many toxic constituents in tobacco smoke consumed by their mothers. It is conceivable that such influences contribute to very early life vascular damage.”

Protesters flood GOP candidates burdened by party’s 2011 performance Syrian city as monitors arrive CAMPAIGN 2012

By Dan Balz

The Washington Post

Iowa is awash in presidential candidates right now, and for the next week they will be focused on turning out their voters for the caucuses. But a larger worry should be part of their calculation: how to reverse the damage the Republican brand has suffered in the past year.

A year ago, after their big midterm election victory, Republicans were full of confidence and anticipation. As Americans look toward next November, the question that many will be asking is: Are the Republicans really ready to lead? In three political arenas — Congress, the states and the presidential campaign trail — Republicans have left a checkered record in the past year.

For Republicans, the coming presidential election should be presented as mostly a referendum on the record and per-

ANALYSIS

formance of President Barack Obama. If it is, the president will be genuinely vulnerable, given the weak economy. Instead, Republicans have wound up making their party the focus of the campaign, to their detriment.

Last week, the president scored the cleanest victory of the year in the fight to extend the payroll tax break, capping a three-month standoff with congressional Republicans over economic issues. The political debacle that played out in Congress before Christmas is the clearest evidence of a party still divided between tea party insurgents and the governing class.

Republican leaders have yet to demonstrate that they know how to resolve the tension between running a campaign to shrink the government and

then getting broad public support to put their policies in place.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has struggled all year to reconcile the rambunctious freshman class to the realities of governing, particularly with such a partisan divide. Which is why the standoff over a twomonth extension of the payroll tax cut ended up as such an embarrassment for the GOP. Republicans are in worse shape today than they were last December. One year into Republican rule in the House, the GOP has the lowest-ever approval ratings for its congressional performance. The most recent Washington PostABC News poll found that just 20 percent of Americans approved of the job congressional Republicans have done this year, down 14 points since the spring, when the party was just taking hold in the House.

Congressional Democrats,

too, are at low ebb, at 27 percent. But Obama’s overall approval ratings have perked up in the past month. He is not ranked as high as most other recent presidents heading into a re-election year, but he is better off today than he was at the end of the summer.

Then there’s the unexciting field of Republican presidential candidates. A number of the GOP’s strongest politicians stayed out of the race, leaving the party with one of its weakest fields in many campaigns.

Many of those candidate have left even Republican voters wondering whether they are ready to be president. The most obvious case was businessman Herman Cain. Though he quit the race amid allegations of sexual impropriety, his lack of preparation when discussing crucial issues deflated voters’ confidence in his ability to lead the nation.

BEIRUT — Tens of thousands of defiant Syrian protesters thronged the streets of Homs on Tuesday, calling for the execution of President Bashar Assad shortly after his army pulled its tanks back and allowed Arab League monitors in for the first time to the city at the heart of the anti-government uprising.

The pullback was the first sign the regime was complying with the League’s plan to end the 9-month-old crackdown on mostly unarmed and peaceful protesters.

Yet amateur video released by activists showed forces firing on protesters even while the monitors were inside the city. One of the observers walked with an elderly man who pointed with his cane to a fresh pool of blood on the street that he said had been shed by his son, killed a day earlier.

The man, wearing a redand-white checkered headdress, then called for the monitor to walk ahead to “see the blood of my second son” also killed in the onslaught.

“Where is justice? Where are the Arabs?” the old man shouted in pain.

Syrian tanks had been heavily shelling Homs for days, residents and activists said, killing dozens even after Assad signed on early last week to the Arab League plan, which demands the gov-

ernment remove its security forces and heavy weapons from city streets, start talks with opposition leaders and allow human rights workers and journalists into the country.

But a few hours before the arrival of the monitors, who began work Tuesday to ensure Syria complies with the League’s plan, the army stopped the bombardment and pulled some of its tanks back.

The British-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed that government forces fired on protesters while the monitors were inside Homs and said at least two people were killed from the fire.

About 60 monitors arrived in Syria on Monday night — the first foreign observers Syria has allowed in since March, when the uprising against Assad’s authoritarian rule began. The League said a team of 12 visited Homs.

After agreeing to the League’s pullback plan on Dec. 19, the regime intensified its crackdown on dissent; government troops killed hundreds in the past week, and Syria was condemned internationally for flouting the spirit of the agreement.

On Monday alone, security forces killed at least 42 people, most of them in Homs.

Activists said security forces killed at least 16 people Tuesday, including six in Homs.

Activists enter the Occupy the Caucus headquarters Tuesday in Des Moines, Iowa. Protesters vow to interrupt candidates at events and camp out at their Iowa campaign headquarters. Critics fear their tactics could tarnish Iowa’s reputation for civil discourse.

Occupy activists plan caucus events The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa — Already they have interrupted Michele Bachmann and drawn a withering putdown from Newt Gingrich as “all noise, no thought.”

Now, to the dismay of Iowa Republicans, Occupy activists in Des Moines are vowing to expand their protests as GOP presidential hopefuls converge on the state that speaks first in the race for the party’s presi-

dential nomination.

“The 99 percent have woken up and we’re not going to take it anymore,” Occupy activist Stephen Toothman, of Des Moines, said as an advance guard met Tuesday to decide which candidates to target in the coming week.

Hundreds of Occupy activists from at least 10 states were expected to participate in a “People’s Caucus” near the Capitol to plot activities be-

tween now and the Jan. 3 caucuses. The activists are promising to interrupt candidates at events and camp out at their Iowa campaign offices. They say they want to change the political dialogue, but critics fear their tactics could tarnish Iowa’s reputation for civil political discourse ahead of the contest. Activists say mass arrests are possible.

They planned to break up into preference groups based

on which candidates they want to target and present with a list of grievances.

Organizers are encouraging activists who live in Iowa to show up on caucus night and vote “no preference” as a protest but say they have no plans to interfere with the voting itself. Nonetheless, state Republican Party officials have instructed precinct leaders to report any disruption to police and the party.

Nebraska Democrat won’t seek re-election to Senate

By Aaron Blake The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., who built an image as a moderating influence on his party, announced Tuesday that he will not seek re-election in 2012, improving Republican chances of winning the seat and taking control of the Senate in 2013.

The two-term senator and former governor said in a Web video that he wanted to spend more time with his family and look for other ways to serve the country.

“Therefore, I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election,” he said. “Simply put: It is time to move on.”

Over the past decade in the Senate, Nelson has built one of the most conservative records of any Democrat in Congress, often irritating the party’s liberal base and causing repeated political headaches for Democratic leaders both on Capitol Hill and in the White House. He voted with Republicans on a range of issues from abortion, gay marriage and

stem-cell research to the Iraq war and campaign finance reform.

Despite that record, or maybe because of it, Democratic Party insiders understood that he represented the best chance Democrats had of winning in a state like Nebraska, and the national Democratic Party spent more than $1 million in advertising this year trying to boost Nelson toward re-election. Recent Democratic-sponsored polling suggested the ads were increasing the senator’s personal approval ratings, albeit slightly.

But Republicans also signaled they would be willing to spend heavily trying to defeat Nelson, by casting him as an enabler of President Barack Obama, particularly after Nelson voted for Obama’s health care bill.

While Nelson has often differed with his party’s position, he delivered the deciding vote for Obama’s signature piece of legislation, the health care reform law. Nelson negotiated

some Nebraska-specific provisions into the law before he would agree to support it. Critics of the law have referred to the deal that Nelson cut, pejoratively, as the “Cornhusker Kickback.”

Early GOP advertising efforts have focused heavily on this arrangement, which

included exempting his home state from paying billions in Medicaid expansion costs.

MOSCOW — The Kremlin on Tuesday reassigned one of the chief architects of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s governing strategy to a job far removed from domestic politics, a sign that the protests of recent weeks have started to shake the highest levels of power in Russia.

President Dmitry Medvedev named Vladislav Surkov deputy prime minister in charge of economic administration, a job that Surkov told reporters would have little to do with daily political life. Since 1999, Surkov had been deputy head of the presidential administration, a shadowy position that obscured his central policy role.

Despite his low profile, Surkov is seen as crucial to Putin’s domination of Russian politics and Putin’s trademark blend of authoritarianism and democracy.

He suggested that he had been sacrificed to placate

the new mood in the country, where Putin is facing the most serious challenge in his 12 years in power.

The move comes less than a week after Medvedev launched plans for reforms that would loosen the Kremlin’s chokehold on political life in Russia. Together, those developments suggest that Putin and Medvedev think they cannot ignore the protests that have drawn tens of thousands into the streets since disputed Dec. 4 parliamentary elections.

If Medvedev’s proposals take effect, defying opposition groups’ skepticism, they would make it far easier to launch fully independent political parties, undoing Surkov’s strategy of fostering token opposition that poses little threat to Putin’s rule.

Postal Continued from A1 “I think the Postal Service should be more efficient and effective,” said Bend mail carrier Sue Marshall. “That’s not the issue. But there’s going to be a big loss of business because of this. That’s what the Postal Service is missing.”

One former post office employee, Jim Hester, urged people to give the plan additional consideration. In his experience, he said, consolidating processing duties into one area did serve the community more efficiently.

“Don’t be afraid of this change,” Hester said. “The area I worked in, this was routine (shipping mail to larger distribution centers), and it worked perfectly.”

A congressional directive for the Postal Service to prepay $5.5 billion to cover health care for postal retirees, as well as a sharp decline in first-class mail, have both been cited as factors behind the Postal Service’s financial difficulties.

The Postal Service announced last summer it

would close 3,700 post offices nationwide.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., introduced the Protecting Rural Post Offices Act in October. The act would prohibit closing any post office that is more than 10 miles away from another postal facility.

This month the Postal Service announced it had removed 20 rural Oregon post offices from the list of those at risk of closure, including offices in Post, Paulina and Antelope.

“Service standards will change if this goes through,” said Linda O’Donnell, president of the American Postal Workers Union for Greater Oregon Area Local 555. “How are we going to get our customers to stay with us (with a two- to three-day delivery time)?”

The distribution center’s closure is one of many moneysaving plans being considered by the Postal Service. No final decisions on post office or distribution center closures will be made before May 15, 2012.

Continued from A1 The rapid expansion of the drone program has blurred long-standing boundaries between the CIA and the military. Lethal operations are increasingly assembled a la carte, piecing together personnel and equipment in ways that allow the White House to toggle between separate legal authorities that govern the use of lethal force.

In Yemen, for instance, the CIA and the military’s Joint Special Operations Command pursue the same adversary with nearly identical aircraft. But they alternate taking the lead on strikes to exploit their separate authorities, and they maintain separate kill lists that overlap but don’t match. CIA and military strikes this fall killed three U.S. citizens, two of whom were suspected al-Qaida operatives.

The convergence of military and intelligence resources has created blind spots in congressional oversight.

Intelligence committees are briefed on CIA operations, and JSOC reports to armed services panels. As a result, no committee has a complete, unobstructed view.

With a year to go in President Barack Obama’s first term, his administration can point to undeniable results: Osama bin Laden is dead, the core al-Qaida network is near defeat, and members of its regional affiliates scan the sky for metallic glints.

Those results, delivered with unprecedented precision from aircraft that put no American pilots at risk, may help explain why the drone campaign has never attracted as much scrutiny as Bushera detention or interrogation programs. Although human rights advocates and others are increasingly critical of the drone program, the level of public debate remains muted.

Secret, but an open one Senior Democrats barely blink at the idea that a president from their party has assembled such a highly efficient machine for the targeted killing of suspected terrorists.

It is a measure of the extent to which the drone campaign has become an awkward open secret in Washington that even those inclined to express misgivings can only allude to a program that, officially, they are not allowed to discuss.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, DCalif., the chairman of the intelligence committee, described the program with a mixture of awe and concern.

Its expansion under Obama was almost inevitable, she said, because of the technology’s growing sophistication.

But the pace of its development, she said, makes it hard to predict how it might come to be used.

“What this does is it takes a lot of Americans out of harm’s way … without having to send in a special ops team or drop a 500-pound bomb,” Feinstein said in an interview in which she was careful to avoid explicit confirmation that the programs exist. “But I worry about how this develops. I’m worried because of what increased technology will make it capable of doing.”

Another reason for the lack of extensive debate is secrecy. The White House has refused to divulge details about the structure of the drone program or, with rare exceptions, who has been killed. White House and CIA officials declined to speak for attribution for this article.

Inside the White House, according to officials who would discuss the drone program only on condition of anonymity, the drone is seen as a critical tool whose evolution was accelerating even before Obama was elected. Senior administration officials said the escalating number of strikes has created a perception that the drone is driving counterterrorism policy,

“What this does is it takes a lot of Americans out of harm’s way … without having to send in a special ops team or drop a 500-pound bomb. But I worry about how this develops.

I’m worried because of what increased technology will make it capable of doing.”

— Sen. Dianne Feinstein, intelligence committee chair

The agency moved armed Predators from Pakistan to Yemen temporarily, and assumed control of others from JSOC’s arsenal, to expand surveillance of Awlaki, a U.S.-born cleric connected to plots including the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day 2009.

Intricate strike when the reverse is true.

“People think we start with the drone and go from there, but that’s not it at all,” said a senior administration official involved with the program.

“We’re not constructing a campaign around the drone.

We’re not seeking to create some worldwide basing network so we have drone capabilities in every corner of the globe.”

Nevertheless, for a president who campaigned against the alleged counterterror excesses of his predecessor, Obama has emphatically embraced the post-Sept.

11 era’s signature counterterrorism tool.

When Obama was sworn into office in 2009, the nation’s clandestine drone war was confined to a single country, Pakistan, where 44 strikes over five years had left about 400 people dead, according to the New America Foundation. The number of strikes has since soared to nearly 240, and the number of those killed, according to conservative estimates, has more than quadrupled.

The number of strikes in Pakistan has declined this year, partly because the CIA has occasionally suspended them to ease tensions at moments of crisis. One lull followed the arrest of an American agency contractor who killed two Pakistani men; another came after the U.S. commando raid that killed bin Laden. The CIA’s most recent period of restraint followed U.S. military air strikes last month that inadvertently killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on the Afghan border. At the same time, U.S. officials have said the number of “high-value” al-Qaida targets in Pakistan has dwindled to two.

Administration officials said that the expansion of the program under Obama has largely been driven by the timeline of the drone’s development. Remotely piloted aircraft were used during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, but only in recent years have they become advanced and abundant enough to be deployed on such a large scale.

The number of drone aircraft has exploded in the past three years. A recent study by the Congressional Budget Office counted 775 Predators, Reapers and other mediumand long-range drones in the U.S. inventory, with hundreds more in the pipeline.

About 30 of those aircraft have been allocated to the CIA, officials said. But the agency has a separate category that doesn’t show up in any public accounting, a fleet of stealth drones that were developed and acquired under a highly compartmentalized CIA program created after the Sept. 11 attacks. The RQ-170 model that recently crashed in Iran exposed the agency’s use of stealth drones to spy on Iran’s nuclear program, but the planes have also been used in other countries.

The escalation of the lethal drone campaign under Obama was driven to an extent by early counterterrorism decisions. Shuttering the CIA’s detention program and halting transfers to Guantanamo Bay left few options beyond drone strikes or detention by often unreliable allies.

Key members of Obama’s national security team came into office more inclined to endorse drone strikes than were their counterparts under President George W. Bush, current and former officials said.

Secretary Leon Panetta, and counterterrorism adviser John Brennan seemed always ready to step on the accelerator, said a former official who served in both administrations and was supportive of the program.

Current administration officials did not dispute the former official’s characterization of the internal dynamics.

Voice of dissent The only member of Obama’s team known to have formally raised objections to the expanding drone campaign is Dennis Blair, who served as director of national intelligence.

During a National Security Council meeting in November 2009, Blair sought to override the agenda and force a debate on the use of drones, according to two participants.

Blair has since articulated his concerns publicly, calling for a suspension of unilateral drone strikes in Pakistan, which he argues damage relations with that country and kill mainly mid-level militants. But he now speaks as a private citizen. His opinion contributed to his isolation from Obama’s inner circle, and he was fired last year.

Obama himself was “oddly passive in this world,” the former official said, tending to defer on drone policy to senior aides whose instincts often dovetailed with the institutional agendas of the CIA and JSOC. The senior administration official disputed that characterization, saying that Obama doesn’t weigh in on every operation but has been deeply involved in setting the criteria for strikes and emphasizing the need to minimize collateral damage.

“Everything about our counterterrorism operations is about carrying out the guidance that he’s given,” the official said. “I don’t think you could have the president any more involved.”

Yemen has emerged as a crucible of convergence, the only country where both the CIA and JSOC are known to fly armed drones and carry out strikes. The attacks are aimed at al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, a Yemen-based affiliate that has eclipsed the terrorist network’s core as the most worrisome security threat.

From separate “ops centers” at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., and Fort Bragg, N.C., the agency and JSOC share intelligence and coordinate attacks, even as operations unfold. U.S. officials said the CIA recently intervened in a planned JSOC strike in Yemen, urging its military counterpart to hold fire because the intended target was not where the missile was aimed. Subsequent intelligence confirmed the agency’s concerns, officials said.

But seams in the collaboration still show.

After locating Anwar alAwlaki in Yemen this fall, the CIA quickly assembled a fleet of armed drones to track the alleged al-Qaida leader until it could take a shot.

The choreography of the strike, which involved four drones, was intricate. Two Predators pointed lasers at Awlaki’s vehicle, and a third circled to make sure that no civilians wandered into the cross hairs. Reaper drones, which are larger than Predators and can carry more missiles, have become the main shooters in most strikes.

On Sept. 30, Awlaki was killed in a missile strike carried out by the CIA under so-called Title 50 authorities, which govern covert intelligence operations, even though officials said it was initially unclear whether an agency or JSOC drone had delivered the fatal blow. A second U.S. citizen, an al-Qaida propagandist who had lived in North Carolina, was among those killed.

The execution was nearly flawless, officials said. Nevertheless, when a similar strike was conducted just two weeks later, the entire protocol had changed. The second attack, which killed Awlaki’s 16-yearold son, was carried out by JSOC under Title 10 authorities that apply to the use of military force.

When pressed on why the CIA had not pulled the trigger, U.S. officials said it was because the main target of the Oct. 14 attack, an Egyptian named Ibrahim al-Banna, was not on the agency’s kill list. The Awlaki teenager, a U.S. citizen with no history of involvement with al-Qaida, was an unintended casualty.

In interviews, senior U.S. officials acknowledged that the two kill lists don’t match, but offered conflicting explanations as to why.

Three senior U.S. officials said the lists vary because of the divergent legal authorities. JSOC’s list is longer, the officials said, because the post-Sept. 11, 2001, Authorization for Use of Military Force, as well as a separate execute order, gave JSOC latitude to hunt broadly defined groups of al-Qaida fighters, even outside conventional war zones. The CIA’s lethal-action authorities, based in a presidential “finding” that has been modified since Sept. 11, were described as more narrow.

But others directly involved in the drone campaign offered a simpler explanation: because the CIA had only recently resumed armed drone flights over Yemen, the agency hadn’t had as much time as JSOC to compile its kill list. Over time, officials said, the agency would catch up.

The administration official who discussed the drone program declined to address the discrepancies in the kill lists, except to say: “We are aiming and striving for alignment. That is an ideal to be achieved.”

NORTH KOREA

Veil of secrecy in Kim Jong Il funeral

By Jean H. Lee The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — Late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il kept the world guessing in death as in life, with state media keeping quiet about the timing and details of his funeral today.

Kim, who led the nation with an iron fist following his father Kim Il Sung’s death in 1994, died of a heart attack Dec. 17 at age 69, according to state media. He is to be succeeded by his young son Kim Jong Un, already being hailed as the “supreme leader” of the party, state and army.

New laws Continued from A1 The new laws also will affect both those working to launch their careers and those at the other end.

People under 25 who are in or have been in the state’s foster care program can attend any of the state’s seven public universities or community colleges without paying tuition.

Senate Majority Leader Diane Rosenbaum, D-Portland, said in a statement in June, after the bill passed the Senate, that nearly 400 teenagers come out of Oregon’s foster

After more than a week of mourning, a funeral was set for today and a memorial service for Thursday. Russia’s ITAR-Tass news agency said the funeral began in midmorning, but provided no further details.

North Korea’s sole TV station, however, was showing only taped footage of sobbing mourners filing past Kim’s begonia-bedecked bier, a military orchestra playing odes to Kim and archive footage of Kim Jong Il providing “on-thespot” guidance.

At noon, a broadcaster in a dark suit gravely read out

a news dispatch about Kim Jong Un visiting his father’s bier on Tuesday with top party and military officials.

He noted that Kim Jong Il’s body had been lying in state in Kumsusan Memorial Palace, suggesting the body was moved.

A private ceremony attended by Kim Jong Un and top party and military officials was expected to be held in an inner sanctum of Kumsusan. Foreign dignitaries were asked to gather at a sports stadium shortly before noon to be taken to Kumsusan to see the hearse pass at the start of

a funeral procession through Pyongyang, according to a diplomat who asked that her name not be used due to the sensitivity of the details.

Heavy snow was falling in Pyongyang, which state media characterized in the early days of mourning as proof that the skies were “grieving” for Kim as well. Footage on state TV showed images of swirling snow, the log cabin in far northern Mount Paektu where Kim is said to have been born, and the mountain named after Kim Jong Il where his name is carved into the rocky face in red.

care system every year.

“Many don’t have the family structure or emotional support to help them make the transition to college, and the costs associated are unrealistic,” she said.

On the other end of the spectrum, retired medical professionals who have been licensed within the past 10 years can participate in the Oregon Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program and register to volunteer if the governor declares an emergency in the state.

The bill is intended to help more isolated communities,

Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, said in April, when the bill passed.

The minimum wage will increase by 30 cents to $8.80 an hour.

People who make $125,000 or more will pay about $1,100 dollars less in state income tax than they did in 2011. Their taxes will still be higher than they were before voters approved Measure 66, in January 2010, which increased taxes on the state’s wealthiest.

The decrease was part of the referendum.

New laws should make it easier for those seeking woody

biomass. Under a new law, the state’s forester is expected to take stock of what type of woody biomass is available on state forestland. The information is then expected to be made available for those interested in energy development using the debris.

Several programs will be extended the first of the year, such as the state’s enterprise zone program. The goal of the program is to lure businesses to economically depressed areas by offering tax exemptions.

Hips Continued from A1 In August, Dougherty underwent an operation to replace a failed artificial hip, but his pelvis fractured soon afterward. The replacement hip was abandoned and then a serious infection set in. Some of the bills: $400,776 in charges related to hospitalizations, $28,081 in doctors’ bills, $5,823 for laboratory tests and $2,995 in home nursing visits.

“I’m sitting here on a La-ZBoy meant for someone who is 80 and I’m 55,” said Dougherty, who lives in Groveland, Ill., outside Peoria, and works at Caterpillar, the heavy equipment manufacturer.

His bills are “five times as much” as he paid for his home.

The so-called metal-on-metal hips like Dougherty’s, ones in which the ball and joint of a device are both made of metal, are failing at high rates within a few years of implant instead of lasting 15 years or more, as artificial joints normally do. The wear of metal parts against each other is generating debris that is damaging tissue and, in some cases, crippling patients.

Many seeking money The incidents’ soaring costs have set off a financial scramble. Recently, lawsuits and complaints against makers of all-metal replacement hips passed the 5,000 mark.

Insurers are alerting patients that they plan to recover their expenses from any settlement money that patients receive.

Medicare is also expected to try to recover its costs.

Some patients like Dougherty are doing their part, too.

While his insurer has covered his bills so far, Dougherty said he was preparing to sue his surgeon and Johnson & Johnson, which produced his artificial hip, to help recoup some of the insurer’s money.

“All these payers want to be paid back,” said Matt Garretson, the founding partner of the Garretson Resolution Group, a firm in Cincinnati that manages product liability cases.

Until a recent sharp decline, all-metal implants accounted for nearly one-third of the estimated 250,000 hip replacements performed each year in the United States. Some 500,000 patients have received an all-metal replacement hip, according to one estimate. A new study found that not a single new artificial hip or knee introduced during a recent five-year period, implants that included the all-metal hips, performed better in terms of durability than older devices and 30 percent of them were worse.

One troubled all-metal model, implanted in 40,000 U.S. patients, was recalled last year by the DePuy division of Johnson & Johnson. As of October, some 3,500 patients had filed a

“I’m sitting here on a La-Z-Boy meant for someone who is 80 and I’m 55,” says Thomas Dougherty, who spent five months this year without a left hip after undergoing an operation to replace a failed artificial hip. His medical bills are “five times as much” as he paid for his home.

lawsuit involving that device, which is expected to fail in thousands of more patients in coming years.

There is no data on the number of all-metal hips that have failed prematurely in this country because the outcomes of orthopedic procedures are not formally tracked by the government or private companies.

But extrapolating from overseas data and the estimate of metal hip use here, some 50,000 U.S. patients may have to undergo premature surgeries over the next decade to replace the implants, said Dr. Art Sedrakyan, a researcher at Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University, who is studying the hip problem.

A decade ago, Sulzer Orthopedics paid a record $1 billion to settle claims by 6,800 patients who received artificial hips and knees that were contaminated with industrial oil during the manufacturing process. “We have been dwarfed by this,” said Teresa Ford, a lawyer who worked at Sulzer at the time and is now in private practice.

Device producers have taken differing stances to covering patient expenses. Zimmer Holdings, which says its all-metal implants are safe, has quietly settled hundreds of patient claims, lawyers involved in those cases say. Also, DePuy has agreed to cover costs related to the device it recalled last year, a hip known as the ASR, or Articular Surface Replacement.

DePuy would not comment on how much it had paid in recall-related costs. But a spokeswoman, Mindy Tinsley, said in a statement that DePuy was working closely with patients and insurers.

Things have not gone smoothly for everyone who has taken DePuy’s payment offer. One patient, Paula Laverty, received a hospital bill for

$41,578 and a call from the facility warning her that the bill would be turned over soon to a collection agency if not paid.

Laverty, of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, said she spent weeks calling the firm handling claims related to DePuy’s ASR. She said she eventually learned that the implant maker had paid the hospital $18,000 for her replacement procedure and that the $41,578 represented the remaining charges.

This month, after being contacted by The New York Times, DePuy made an additional payment to the hospital, according to Tinsley, the company spokeswoman.

Along with ASR-related cases, DePuy also faces more than 560 lawsuits in connection with the all-metal version of another hip model, called the Pinnacle, the device that Dougherty received. Because the company says that the allmetal Pinnacle is performing well, costs related to its replacement are being borne by Medicare, insurers or patients themselves.

To recoup their expenses, insurers typically notify patients through lawyers that they expect to be reimbursed from any settlement money that patients receive, rather than pursue their own lawsuits with the device makers. Also, Medicare is expected to start enforcing new laws next year that will make it easier for the agency to recover taxpayer dollars spent treating patients injured by problem drugs and medical devices, legal experts said.

Patients, too, feel pain Still, some patients are weathering some of the financial impacts on their own.

While Charmin McCune, a teacher in Wylie, Texas, is recuperating well from a recent replacement operation, she said that she and her husband, who is also a teacher, have had more than $12,000 in expenses

related to lost workdays and child care that have not been covered by insurance.

“We have deferred purchases and have told our children that Christmas is going to be limited this year,” McCune said.

Dougherty, the Illinois patient, underwent a procedure this month to get a new hip implant, an operation that will add tens of thousands of dollars to his medical bills. All went well, he said, so he hopes to spend next year back on his feet and at work, rather than in a chair.

“You can’t do anything,” he said of his current situation.

“You see your wife doing everything for you. It is just not right.”

Universities Continued from A1 Supporters of public higher education fear that, should the cuts continue, Berkeley will lose some of its ability to compete with elite private universities and serve the public as a vehicle of opportunity.

In a bold play to regain public confidence, Berkeley leaders on Dec. 14 announced an unprecedented offer of need-based aid to families earning up to $140,000. The Middle Class Access Plan caps each family’s parent contribution at 15 percent of household earnings, a pledge that rivals those of Harvard and Yale.

The crisis facing Berkeley is part of a broader national retreat in state support for public higher education.

States spent one-fifth less per public university student in 2010 than in 2000, in inflation-adjusted dollars.

In academia, there is particular concern for the sector leaders known as “public Ivies.”

These top public universities (a group that includes Berkeley, UCLA and the universities of Michigan, North Carolina and Virginia) educate many more students than their Ivy League counterparts.

Berkeley alone serves roughly the same number of low-income students, measured in federal Pell grant data, as the Ivies do together.

Nowhere are the stakes higher than Berkeley. Anchor of the nation’s most prestigious public university system, Berkeley boasts a constellation of graduate programs rivaled only by Harvard. The university consistently tops academic rankings of public institutions. Its campus has parking spaces reserved for Nobel laureates.

Berkeley’s 25,885 undergraduate and 10,257 graduate students are famously opinionated. It doesn’t take much to get them talking about the many ways their state and their school are letting them down.

“If you pay more, you want to see more, and we aren’t getting anything more,” said Bahar Navab, a graduate student and president of Berkeley’s Graduate Assembly.

Today’s Berkeley seniors pay half again more in tuition and fees than when they were freshmen. But the number of students for every faculty member has risen from 15 to 17 in five years. Navab said her own class, “Introduction to Public Health Policy,” “has a wait list almost as long as the class list.”

Berkeley’s overall budget continues to rise modestly from year to year. Total university revenue rose from $1.7 billion in fiscal 2007 to $2 billion in 2010. The universities of Michigan and Virginia have seen a similar increase.

But much of Berkeley’s money comes in grants and

gifts earmarked for specific uses. Dollars for educating students come mostly in state educational appropriations and net tuition revenue. Those sources together have generated less money per student each year since 2007, university officials said.

Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau says the class crunch is easing, the fruit of a strategic investment in “gateway” courses in reading and composition, math, science and language.

“We are threatened,” Birgeneau said. “We are not in decline.”

Berkeley’s rolling hilltop campus, overlooking San Francisco Bay, is the pinnacle of the nation’s largest state higher-education system, with 350 degree programs and a science portfolio enriched by the neighboring Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. More than 60,000 students have applied to next fall’s freshman class, one of the largest numbers seeking entry to any American university.

But the California economy is paralyzed, and the plan is in tatters.

Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown, this month announced an additional $100 million reduction to the $2.3 billion University of California annual budget, already pared by nearly a billion dollars in the downturn.

If the state divestment continues, Berkeley’s in-state tuition could reach $22,000 in four years, nearly double the current rate of $12,192.

Berkeley softens the impact on its neediest students with a financial aid pledge that covers tuition and fees for families earning up to $80,000. But until the university announced the middle-class bailout, there was little help for families earning too much for financial aid and too little to afford Berkeley’s soaring fees.

In previous generations, a Berkeley education was nearly free; students lingered on campus to savor the contemplative life. Today, in-state tuition, fees and living expenses total $30,000. Students work part time to pay the bills and load up on classes to graduate more swiftly. That imperative has pushed Berkeley’s six-year graduation rate to 91 percent, up from 83 percent a decade ago, a positive tiding, taken alone.

“It adds up to a lot of stress,” said Jackie Chirico, 22, a Berkeley senior. “And it breaks some students.”

Vishalli Loomba, 21, a senior who serves as president of the governance group Associated Students, said she seldom gets her first choice of classes.

This semester, Loomba had to settle for a lab section from 7 to 10 p.m. And her family has struggled to keep up with the bills.

“My parents had a plan for how they were going to afford my education,” she said. “That went out the window after the second year.”

Japanese evacuees struggle as workers return to reactors

By Eric Talmadge and David Guttenfelder The Associated Press

IWAKI, Japan — Fukushima was just emerging from the snows of winter when the disaster hit — a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, the strongest in Japan’s recorded history, followed by a tsunami.

The wall of water destroyed much of the northeastern coast on March 11. In the northeast region of Fukushima, a different disaster was brewing: Three reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant were melting down, irreparably damaged by the super tremor.

Now, as the snows are beginning to fall again, the government has announced the plant has attained a level of stability it is calling a “cold shutdown.”

As many as 3,000 workers — plumbers, engineers, technicians — stream into the facility each day.

The tsunami’s destruction is still visible. Mangled trucks, flipped over by the wave, sit alongside the roads inside the complex, piles of rubble stand where the walls of the reactor structures crumbled and large pools of water still cover parts of the campus.

In the ghost towns around Fukushima Dai-ichi, vines have overtaken streets, feral cows and ownerless dogs roam the fields. Dead chickens rot in their coops.

The tens of thousands of people who once lived around the plant have fled. They are now huddling in gymnasiums, elementary school classrooms, bunking with friends, sometimes just sleeping in their cars,

moving from place to place as they search for alternatives.

For those who lived on the perimeter of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, fliers used to come in the mail every so often explaining that someday this might happen. Most recipients saw them as junk mail and threw them away without a second glance. For those who did read them, the fliers were always worded to be reassuring — suggesting that although a catastrophic nuclear accident was extremely unlikely, it could require evacuating the area.

Never was it even hinted that the evacuation could last years, or decades.

At most of the shelters, food is doled out military-style, at set times. Personal space is extremely limited, often just big enough to fit a futon, and the collective snoring at night makes sleep fitful, at best.

Baths are public, cramped, dark.

The total amount of radiation released from the plant is still unknown, and the impact of chronic low-dose radiation exposures in and around Fukushima is a matter of scientific debate.

Recent studies also suggest Japan continues to significantly underestimate the scale of the disaster — which could have health and safety implications far into the future.

According to a study led by Andreas Stohl, senior scientist at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, twice as much radioactive cesium-137 — a cancer-causing agent — was pumped into the atmosphere than Japan had announced, reaching 40 percent of the total from Chernobyl. The French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety found 30 times more cesium137 was released into the Pacific than the plant’s owner has acknowledged.

Egypt bans virginity tests on detainees

U.S. agencies propose to ban 1,006 suppliers over lax accountability

The Washington Post CAIRO — An Egyptian court on Tuesday banned virginity tests on female detainees in military-controlled prisons, buoying human rights groups, who said the civilian court’s ruling was binding on the country’s military leaders.

The ban came in response to a lawsuit filed by market manager Samira Ibrahim, one of seven women who said they were subjected to humiliating virginity checks after being detained by the military at a sit-in in March. At the time, the ruling generals denied that their soldiers had conducted such tests and offered no apologies.

An army general was later quoted as saying that tests had been carried out but only to protect soldiers from accusations of rape. Last week, the military announced investigations into military personnel involved in the incidents.

The generals’ management of the country’s current period of transition has drawn intense criticism from political activists, but the reports of mistreatment of women at the hands of the military have incensed a broad swath of Egyptians.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration, under pressure from Congress to weed out government suppliers for ethics violations or poor performance, has proposed to ban almost as many contractors this year as President George W. Bush did in his entire second term.

Federal agencies have proposed blocking 1,006 companies and individuals from contracting so far this year, as well as asking a judge to ban a unit of foodprocessing giant Cargill Inc. of Minneapolis, in a process known as debarment. That is 16 percent more than the 868 contractors that government agencies proposed to block in all of 2010, and only 70 fewer than the 1,076 contractors that U.S. agencies sought to debar under Bush from 2005 to 2008, according to data provided by the General Services Administration.

Federal agencies are under pressure after a series of congressional hearings and reports from inspectors general and the Government

Accountability Office faulted procurement officials for failing to keep unqualified or ineligible vendors out of the $500 billion-a-year federal market.

“We are starting to see the pendulum swing to more contractor accountability, but government needs to do a lot more to ensure it only works with responsible contractors and thereby protects the public,” said Scott Amey, general counsel for the Project on Government Oversight, a nonprofit watchdog group.

The proposed debarments appear to be the most since at least 1997, the earliest year comparable data was available, and may be a record, said Meredith Whitehead, a project manager with the General Services Administration, which oversees the online database used to track contractors barred from winning government work.

Federal spending on contracts for goods and services has more than doubled since 2000, to $534 billion in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2010 from $213 billion in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2000.

WASHINGTON — A senior Iranian official Tuesday delivered a sharp threat in response to economic sanctions being readied by the United States, saying his country would retaliate against any crackdown by blocking all oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for transporting about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply.

The declaration by Iran’s first vice president, Mohammad-Reza Rahimi, came as President Barack Obama prepares to sign legislation that, if fully implemented, could substantially reduce Iran’s oil revenue in a bid to deter it from pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

Before the latest move, the administration had been laying the groundwork for cutting off Iran from global energy markets without raising the price of gasoline or alienating close allies.

Apparently fearful of the expanded sanctions’ possible impact on the alreadystressed economy of Iran, the world’s third-largest energy exporter, Rahimi said, “If they impose sanctions on Iran’s oil exports, then even one drop of oil cannot flow from the Strait of Hormuz,” according to Iran’s official news agency.

Iran just began a 10-day naval exercise in the area.

Obama administration officials have recently said that the United States has a plan to keep the strait open in the event of a crisis. In Hawaii, where Obama is vacationing, a White House spokesman said there would be no comment on the Iranian threat. That seemed in keeping with an effort to lower the level of angry exchanges,

partly to avoid giving Iran the satisfaction of a response and partly to avoid spooking financial markets.

But the energy sanctions carry the risk of confrontation, as well as economic disruption, given the unpredictability of the Iranian response. Some administration officials believe that a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States — which Washington alleges received financing from the Quds Force, part of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps — was in response to U.S. and other international sanctions.

Merely uttering the threat appeared to be part of an Iranian effort to demonstrate its ability to cause a spike in oil prices, thus slowing the U.S. economy, and to warn U.S. trading partners that joining the new sanctions, which the Senate passed by a rare 1000 vote, would come at a high cost.

Oil prices rose above $100 a barrel in trading after the threat, although it was unclear how much that came from investors’ concern that a Persian Gulf confrontation could disrupt oil flows.

The new punitive measures, part of a bill financing the military, would significantly escalate U.S. sanctions against Iran. They come just a month and a half after the International Atomic Energy Agency published a report that for the first time laid out its evidence that Iran may be secretly working to design a nuclear warhead, despite the country’s repeated denials.

In the wake of the IAEA report and a November attack on the British Embassy in Tehran, the European Union is also contemplating strict sanctions, such as an embargo on Iranian oil.

Pakistani president warns top court to stay in line

By Asif Shahzad The Associated Press

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s president on Tuesday warned the Supreme Court not to take action in violation of the constitution, referring to a judicial hearing into a secret memo seeking to rein in the powerful military, a scandal that threatens the Pakistani leader.

The political crisis revolves around a memo that was allegedly sent to Washington with President Asif Ali Zardari’s support in May asking for help in stopping a supposed army coup after the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Zardari has denied any connection to the memo.

Also Tuesday, gunmen killed a senior official from the government’s Intelligence Bureau in the northwestern city of Peshawar, said police officer Imtiaz Khan.

No group has claimed responsibility, but the Pakistani Taliban have killed many government officials and security personnel in the past few years.

There is long-standing tension between Pakistan’s civilian government and the army because the military has staged a series of coups and ruled the country for much of its 64-year history.

The government has opposed the Supreme Court’s decision to open a hearing into the scandal about a week ago, saying a judicial investigation was unnecessary because parliament was already looking into the matter.

IN BRIEF LCD makers settle antitrust cases NEW YORK — Sharp Corp., Samsung Electronics Co. and five other makers of liquid crystal display panels used in computers and televisions have agreed to pay $538.6 million to settle antitrust claims by indirect purchasers.

Earlier this month, the panel makers agreed to pay $388 million to settle price-fixing claims by direct buyers of the products as part of a series of cases consolidated in federal court in San Francisco. Under the new agreement, about $501 million will be available for partial refunds to consumers and about $37 million to compensate governments and other public entities for damages, according to a court filing dated Dec. 23.

The companies allegedly fixed prices of thin-film liquid crystal display panels, driving up prices for purchasers of televisions, notebook computers and monitors from 1999 to 2006, according to a class action, or group, lawsuit filed in 2007.

The attorneys general of eight states, including Florida, California and New York, were part of the settlement agreements with the manufacturers.

The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries handles about 2,400 claims every year from workers who say their employers failed to pay them, but rarely does it attempt to shut down a business, as it has with Bend-based City Moving and Storage Co. BOLI filed a legal action in November in Deschutes County Circuit Court seeking to prevent City Moving and Storage from operating until it posts a $19,008 bond to ensure its workers get paid. The

labor agency has also enlisted the Oregon Department of Revenue to collect back wages.

“It’s a small number of cases that require us to press charges and recruit the (Oregon) Department of Revenue to pursue a collection,” said Bob Estabrook, communications director for BOLI. Angela Dyas, owner of City Moving and Storage, said Tuesday that she has been trying to pay back wages to her former employees by following a monthly payment plan with the Department of Revenue.

Dyas, who said her company was

caught in the recession, has paid about $1,000, according to BOLI records.

“It’s a business failing because of the economy,” she said.

Since December 2009, BOLI has received eight claims from City Moving and Storage employees who said they did not get paid for their work. Documents from BOLI show the company owes workers more than $10,000 in wages, along with an additional $25,000 in interest, penalties and court costs.

Christmas was anything but merry for Sears Holdings.

On Tuesday, the retailer, which operates both Sears and Kmart stores, announced plans to shutter up to 120 locations after a sharp drop in sales this holiday season.

While the closures represent a fraction of the total stores, they underscore the retailer’s precarious financial position. The company, which has been slow to renovate rundown stores and improve customer service, expects earnings to fall by more than 50 percent in the fourth quarter, far worse than expected.

“They’re not going out of business tomorrow.

But here is a company that is deteriorating in front of our eyes, and it could cost a lot of jobs,” said Gary Balter, an analyst at Credit Suisse.

“Somebody should be worried about that.”

Sears has been limping along for years.

Pedestrians pass a Kmart store on Tuesday in New York. Sears Holdings Corp., the parent company of Sears and Kmart department stores, plans to close 100 to 120 stores after a sluggish holiday season.

U.S. home prices took a step backward for a second month in October, according to a key index released Tuesday.

The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite index fell 1.2 percent in October. After five straight months of gains starting in April, prices have started to cool. The gauge isn’t seasonally adjusted, and there is generally greater interest in buying homes during the spring and summer.

Nineteen of 20 cities saw price drops during the month, with 11 falling by 1 percent or more.

SHOPPING UNDER THE INFLUENCE • Online merchants know lubrication can boost evening sales

By Stephanie Clifford New York Times News Service

After enjoying a few drinks, some people go dancing. Others order food. And for some, it’s time to shop online.

“I have my account linked to my phone, so it’s really easy,” said Tiffany Whitten, of Dayton, Ohio, whose most recent tipsy purchase made on her smartphone — a phone cover — arrived from Amazon much to her surprise. “I was drunk and I bought it, and I forgot about it, and it showed up in the mail, and I was really excited.”

Shopping under the influence has long benefited high-end specialty retailers — witness the wine-and-cheese parties that are a staple of galleries and boutiques. Now the popularity

of Internet sales has opened alcohol-induced purchases to the masses, including people like Whitten, who works in shipping and receiving and spent just $5 on the cat-shaped phone cover.

Chris Tansey, an accountant in Australia, went shopping online after drinking late one night (to be precise, it was well into the morning). By the end of the session, he had bought a $10,000 motorcycle tour of New Zealand.

“The hang-ups of spending

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Tuesday nominated a Republican and a Democrat to serve on the Federal Reserve, as the central bank weighs whether to take additional steps to try to stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment.

The Democrat, Harvard professor Jeremy Stein, served previously in the Obama administration in the White House and Treasury Department. The Republican, Jerome “Jay” Powell, was a Treasury official in the George H.W. Bush administration and a former financial executive. Both men would bring specialized knowledge in finance — one from the academic perspective, the other from industry — to the Fed. See Fed / B2

your hard-earned cash are so far removed from your life when you’ve had a bottle of wine,” Tansey said in an email.

The New Zealand trip was terrific, he said. But a pair of $3 sunglasses on eBay “turned out to be horrible fakes, with $17 of postage that I obviously didn’t see with beer goggles.”

Online retailers, of course, can never be sure whether customers are inebriated when they tap the “checkout” icon.

After several years of frugal festivities, consumers are once again turning to credit for their Christmas shopping.

Credit card purchases jumped more than 7 percent in November and surged again in early December, according to First Data, which tracks consumer payments. A survey by Consumer Reports found that shoppers planned to charge an average of $756 this holiday, up 6 percent from the previous year, though the number of people who plan to use credit has remained steady.

“If past behavior is any predictor, the closer you get to Dec. 25 the more likely you’re running into that store and buying whatever you can,” said Ed Ferrell, director of Consumer Reports’ national research center. “Plastic really starts flying more.”

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court granted an emergency ruling late Tuesday that temporarily halted proceedings in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s case against Citigroup.

The decision will allow the court to consider an appeal of a lower court’s decision to throw out a $285 million

fraud settlement between the commission and Citigroup.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, based in New York, ruled that further action in the case would be delayed until at least Jan. 17, giving it time to rule on whether it would grant an expedited hearing of the appeal and whether the two sides should have to simultaneously prepare for a trial.

Judge Jed Rakoff of U.S. District Court in Manhattan threw out the settlement in November and ordered the agency and Citigroup to prepare for a trial in July.

Although Citigroup and the SEC have jointly appealed Rakoff’s decision, he said the underlying case should proceed, with the two sides continuing to prepare for court hearings in the case.

Bethany Diamond has a drink while shopping at an A.Line Boutique in Denver earlier this month. Drinking while shopping in a physical store may be rare, but online it’s a different story.

Online Continued from B1 One comparison-shopping site, Kelkoo, said almost half the people it surveyed in Britain, where it is based, had shopped online after drinking.

But while reliable data is hard to come by, retailers say they have their suspicions based on anecdotal evidence and traffic patterns on their websites — and some are adjusting their promotions accordingly. “Post-bar, inhibitions can be impacted, and that can cause shopping, and hopefully healthy impulse buying,� said Andy Page, the president of Gilt Groupe, an online retailer that is adding more sales starting at 9 p.m. to respond to high traffic then — perhaps some of it by shoppers under the influence.

On eBay, the busiest time of day is from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. in each time zone.

Asked if drinking might be a factor, Steve Yankovich, vice president for mobile for eBay, said, “Absolutely.� He added: “I mean, if you think about what most people do when they get home from work in the evening, it’s decompression time. The consumer’s in a good mood.�

Nighttime shopping is growing overall. ChannelAdvisor, which runs e-commerce for hundreds of sites, says its order volumes peak about 8 p.m. and that shoppers are placing orders later and later. In 2011, the number of orders placed from 9 p.m. to midnight increased compared with previous years.

A fine line Still, the nighttime spike requires delicacy among retailers: For reasons of propriety, they do not want to be seen as encouraging drunken shopping, and many people who inadvertently buy products in that state would most likely return them at high rates. On the other hand, a happy customer can lead to higher sales. “In a shopping context, alcohol would lift people’s moods and make them feel more relaxed,� said Nancy Puccinelli, an associate fellow at the Oxford’s Said Business School who studies consumer behavior. “If we see a product and we feel good, we will evaluate the product more positively.�

Alcohol-fueled purchases, however, could lead to problems, she said. Even with online retailers storing credit card information and offering one-click checkout, alcohol reduces working memory, which means “at the time of purchase, you wouldn’t have the cognitive ability to think through. If you think about a sweater: Is this the right size, is it the right color?� she said.

Kristin Kassaw, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Baylor, said online shopping while drunk could have serious financial consequences. “When you’re loading things you can’t feel or touch into this fake cart, you don’t have a sense of, ‘I’m buying all this stuff, I’m buying too much.’ It takes you away from the actual spending-money experience,� she said.

Public vs. private In actual stores, despite the

longer hours around the holidays, intoxicated shoppers seem to be rare — but when they do appear, they can be quite disruptive.

On Thanksgiving night around 11 p.m., a shopper at a Wal-Mart in Florence, Ala., was stumbling in the aisles and grabbing onto items; police officers shot him with a stun gun and charged him with public intoxication. At a Best Buy in Lufkin, Texas, a drunken man disappeared into a bathroom around 4 a.m. on Black Friday and tried to flush a cable down the toilet, apparently to avoid being caught shoplifting.

And in Scarborough, Maine, early on the Friday after Thanksgiving, a man was arrested as he drove out of a Cabela’s parking lot, where he had ostensibly been drinking all night as he waited for the store to open.

Drunken productivity Amanda Schuster, a wineand-spirits writer and consultant in Brooklyn, says she never shops in actual stores after drinking, but she finds it hard to resist the Web. “It feels productive in a way — like I didn’t just come home drunk and pass out, I went home and did something,� she said.

That something tends to be buying used CDs at Amazon. When an unexpected package shows up, “I try to backtrack a little bit, and I look in to my purchasing history, and I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah,’ � she said.

Regrets? She has a few. “When did I get ‘Heart’s Greatest Hits’?� she said.

Fed Continued from B1 If confirmed by the Senate, Stein and Powell will fill the two vacant seats on the seven-member Fed board of governors, led by Chairman Ben Bernanke.

Senate Republicans have lately blocked many of Obama’s highest-profile nominees for positions in economic policymaking and financial regulation, including MIT professor and Nobel laureate Peter Diamond, who was a nominee for the Fed. By pairing a Republican and a Democrat, Obama might be hoping that Republicans will allow them easy passage.

The nominations come as the Fed is wrestling with the divisive question of how much more to do to try to stimulate the economy and lower unemployment. The central bank already has exhausted its most conventional tool for stimulating the economy — lowering interest rates — and now is discussing a range of unorthodox measures. These could include steps as modest as clearer communication with the public about its intentions to purchase government bonds to try to bring down interest rates even more.

It wasn’t immediately clear in which direction Stein and Powell would push, if confirmed. Many members of the Fed, including Bernanke, have lately adopted a middle-ground approach. In general, Democratic economists have tended to favor a more activist Fed in reducing unemployment while Republican economists have been more worried about the prospect of inflation.

Stein, who teaches courses in finance at Harvard, would also be likely to play an important role in the Fed’s oversight of large financial institutions.

In addition to making decisions about unemployment and inflation, the Fed is a principal financial regulator, with powers to oversee the largest financial firms.

Since the passage of the financial reform bill known as Dodd-Frank, the Fed has been in serious discussions about what kinds of restrictions to put on large financial firms whose failure would pose a risk to the economy.

Stein spent several months in 2009 as an official on the White House National Economic Council and as an adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. In 2008, he was president of the American Finance Association.

Powell is a visiting scholar at the Bipartisan Policy Center, where he focuses on budget policy. He was undersecretary of Treasury for finance under Bush. He spent eight years at the Carlyle Group, the private equity firm, and previously worked as a lawyer and investment banker on Wall Street.

Powell was in the spotlight this summer when he published a widely cited report describing the consequences if Congress did not vote to increase the federal limit on borrowing.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

BOLI Continued from B1 According to court documents, BOLI ordered City Moving and Storage to secure a $19,008 bond in October to ensure employees would get paid.

Dyas’ failure to provide the bond led BOLI to take the legal action, seeking to forbid the company from engaging in business or employing workers.

Dyas said the company ceased operation in August because of financial problems.

Dyas said she bought City Moving and Storage in February 2008, and soon after, her

Sears Continued from B1 In 2005, hedge fund manager Edward Lampert pushed the storied retailer to merge with Kmart, figuring that the combination would wrench savings and bolster profits.

His bet drew comparisons to the strategy of Warren Buffett, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, who takes concentrated positions in companies that he believes will increase in value and generate cash. Sears Holdings was thought to be something of a Berkshire vehicle — a public entity through which to acquire businesses.

But the merger has been an albatross for Lampert, who is chairman of Sears. Since their 2007 peak, shares in Sears had dropped from $192 to less than $46 in December.

On Tuesday, the stock fell 27 percent to close at $33.38.

“The customer just doesn’t think of Sears at the top of their mind anymore,” said Mary Ross Gilbert, a managing director at Imperial Capital.

The weakness stands in contrast to competitors, which have seen a steady improvement in sales. Macy’s, Target and Home Depot have all notched increased revenues through the third quarter. Sears reported a loss during the same period.

“I hope to bring City Moving and Storage back to where it was,” she said, “pay my creditors and employees and continue (operating).”

City Moving and Storage was permitted to operate by the Oregon Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation until Dec. 20.

While Dyas said the company ceased operation in August, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration records show one of its trucks still operating in September. The truck underwent an inspection in Illinois while transporting baby food across the country, according to the records.

Because City Moving and Storage’s state business registration remains active, Estabrook, of BOLI, said the only way to legally verify the company doesn’t operate is through the court.

He said if Dyas posts the bond, she would be able to operate again, but without that bond, he said BOLI can’t guarantee her workers will be paid.

“Some businesses go under without a lot of resources,” he said. “If the workers get paid, BOLI is happy. We’re still trying to get those wages that the folks have earned.”

with its own woes, shows outlook improves.

It’s part of a broader effort to bolster its balance sheet. Sears plans to reduce its overall inventory, which could bring in another $300 million. It plans to cut fixed costs, which could include rental and administrative expenses, by up to $200 million.

“These actions will better enable us to focus our investments on serving our customers and members through integrated retail — at the store, online and in the home,” Lou D’Ambrosio, the company’s chief executive, said in a statement.

But analysts are not convinced such efforts will be enough. For one, Sears has hefty pension and retirement burdens, which will continue to drain cash. And the company has already tapped a line of credit for $483 million, which it hadn’t done at this time last year.

Dyas said many of her customers didn’t pay City Moving and Storage because they filed for bankruptcy or their checks bounced.

“We wouldn’t be in this situation if customers would have paid,” she said.

Dyas said those problems prevented her from being able to pay employees. It also led to her failure to pay rent in the three Bend locations that have housed the business over the last 16 months, she said.

According to an analysis by CreditDonkey, a card comparison site, a shopper who charges about $700 on a credit card with a 13 percent interest rate and makes only the minimum payments will spend four years whittling down the balance. The total interest paid will be nearly $200. Meanwhile, a consumer who puts down $64 each month will bring the balance to zero in one year and pay $52 in interest.

Recent federal legislation aimed to help consumers understand the magnitude of their debt by requiring credit card companies to disclose how long it will take to pay off a balance if only the minimum payment is made. However, a study released last month by Boston College marketing professor Linda Court Salisbury and several co-authors found that the information had no impact on how much consumers pay toward their bills.

“There’s a misunderstanding that the minimum payment is sort of an adequate payment,” Salisbury said. “If you pay the minimum payment every month, the cost to you is going to be enormous.”

Paying the minimum

But spending growth fueled by credit card debt could come with a price. Consumers’ heavy borrowing during the boom years helped trigger the bust and has weighed down the recovery. Though America’s debt load has dropped significantly since the financial crisis in 2008, the recent uptick in debt has some experts questioning whether consumers are headed for a holiday hangover. The survey by Consumer Reports found that about 6 percent of consumers, or 14 million Americans, are still paying off credit card bills from last Christmas.

Travis Pizel, 37, is still trying to wrangle down debt from more than a decade of Christmases. The Minnesota resident used to be among the deal-hungry hordes camped outside of Best Buy on Black Friday. One time he scored a new computer, a camcorder and other electronics equipment — “not because we needed it or because we had the money for it, but because it was a good deal,” he recalled.

“That was the trap we fell into,” Pizel said.

Pizel and his wife thought they were being responsible

Continued from B1 On one hand, the rise of credit can be a boon for retailers and the broader economy.

It has helped consumers’ spending rise faster than their incomes, which in turn drives economic growth.

Several key groups have raised their forecasts for holiday sales. The National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, now expects retail sales in November and December to increase 3.8 percent compared with last year, a whole percentage point above its original projection.

ShopperTrak, which analyzes the number of people visiting stores, forecast sales would grow 3.7 percent.

by paying the minimum required on their credit card bills each month, not realizing their remaining balance was skyrocketing to over $100,000. When their lender increased their monthly minimum in 2009, Pizel realized he couldn’t afford the payment — it had ballooned to an amount larger than his mortgage.

“That should’ve been a clue right there that something was out of whack,” he said.

Pizel enrolled in debt management plan with Marylandbased CareOne, and has now paid off half of what he owes and is credit-card free. Instead of spending as much as $600 on each of his two kids, he budgets about $100 each for the holidays.

A W A year of too much work — or too little

By Cindy Krischer Goodman

Finding balance

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

This year, when I personally struggled with work/ life balance concerns, I wrote about them to help others. I found inspiration from the stories of supermoms like Youri Mevs, who somehow raises four kids and is managing shareholder of WIN Group, a private family conglomerate.

I also found myself one of the many parents who want to use digital tools to monitor and communicate with my 21st-century kids — even during the workday. When the new school year began, I examined how technology can allow parents to know who their kids are with, what they’re saying about their school day and whether they are safe — even if Mom or Dad is away on a business trip, out on a sales call or stuck late at the office. Where we once used “nannycams,” parents of older kids are Skyping, video-chatting, texting and using document-sharing programs with them while at work.

“If you work all day, there’s the guilt thing. You feel, ‘What am I missing?’

Technology now allows you to bridge that gap and add quality to your communication,” said Monica Vila of TheOnlineMom.com.

So much of the workplace change we’ve seen in the past few years — particularly the move toward overwork — has created disengaged workers. Marcia Rhodes, a spokeswoman for WorldatWork, a nonprofit focused on global human resources, summed up 2011’s events with this statement: “Businesses need to think about re-recruiting the hearts and minds of their current employees.”

For most Americans, 2011 was the year of overwork or underwork.

Almost universally, stress hit an all-time high as American workers tried to cope with the new reality that work now follows them wherever they go with their mobile devices.

Attorney Fred Karlinsky described his resistance to putting down his BlackBerry — regardless of whether it’s 10 a.m. or 10 p.m. “I owe it to clients to respond when they need an answer,” he told me.

Add that to the do-morewith-less attitude and obsession with productivity adopted by today’s bosses and that makes work/life balance even more difficult to achieve.

Earlier this year, I dared to put the question out there: Can you control after-hours work demands without getting fired or losing a customer?

My favorite response came from Wayne Hochwarter, a professor of management at Florida State University. It’s all about communication, he said. Maybe you’re answering emails at 10 p.m., but your manager doesn’t expect you to be on call at all hours. You may have inadvertently communicated the wrong message: that you don’t mind the infringement on your personal time. It’s possible to pull back — if you are clear about how you plan to handle their needs during the workday, he said.

Around midyear, I saw the trend toward overwork intensifying and affecting relationships. People were making less time for spouses, and some were even feeling too exhausted for sex. How crazy is it that iPhone glare has replaced candlelight as the backdrop for bedroom romance?

“If you want to stay together and be connected, you have to

make time for intimacy and set boundaries,” expert Joel Block advised my readers. To communicate your needs as the spouse who wants attention, he said, don’t nag. “Make a plan to spend time together.

That’s much better than the blame message.”

He also advised taking on a new attitude: “When you are at work, work owns you.

When you walk out, leave it behind.”

Frustration and hope This year, I heard heartbreaking frustration in the voices of people in my community. While those of us lucky enough to have jobs or own businesses struggled with the workload, millions of American workers were hunting for work. Some began to accept

the reality of underwork as they cobbled together parttime jobs as their only means of income — at least for now. In a column this fall, I described the new face of the part-time worker — it emerged from a conversation with Luis. Luis used to be a mortgage banker, but he has been out of work for more than 20 months. Like others, he had become exasperated by the job hunt.

One day, while Luis was mowing his lawn, a neighbor offered him a few bucks to do his yard. Word spread, plentiful rain caused Miami lawns to grow tall, and Luis cobbled together enough business to consider mowing lawns a part-time job. “At least it’s some income,” said the humbled executive.

This year, I heard from frus-

trated employers, too. The Internet has changed the rules of the workplace, blurring the lines between workers’ personal behavior and employer liability. There are no easy answers to the scenarios unfolding, and technology is ahead of the law, I learned.

A Starbucks employee’s rant on You Tube about rude customers and their annoying orders inspired a column on how employers are reacting when workers post job gripes online. Workers — on and off the clock — are taking to their Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts to complain about everything from jerky bosses to rude customers to slacking co-workers to crappy company policies. Some firings have led to lawsuits that employees have won.

A look back at the 2011 job market

By Diane Stafford McClatchy-Tribune News Service

As 2011 draws to a close, the good news is that some job clubs are disbanding and others have shrinking attendance.

To be sure, hiring floodgates haven’t opened, and the jobs may be contract, temporary or part-time, but employers are beginning to pump up their depleted payrolls.

This year’s job market will be remembered because: •Employers sought “stars” who weren’t really looking for new jobs. That made it hard for the unemployed, who tended to get passed over in favor of people who were working.

•Fresh graduates or workers trying for midlife career changes had difficulty competing with experienced applicants in the field — unless they had specific computer, social media or health service skills.

• Cash-strapped or cautious employers tried to avoid spending time or money training someone who might not work out. They wanted proven talent who could hit the ground running.

• There was no economic pressure to raise pay rates.

Average raises trailed the rate of inflation. So some jobs were filled for less than what the going rate used to be.

• Many specific computer, engineering and health profession jobs lacked enough qualified workers to fill them.

• Unpaid internships became an increasingly popular way — sometimes illegally — for employers to get work done. But they also were a foot in the door for workers who were willing and able to work for free temporarily.

LOCAL BRIEFING OSP makes 28 DUII arrests The holiday weekend resulted in one death and 28 DUII arrests on Oregon roadways, the Oregon State Police said.

The one fatality occurred Sunday evening in a two-vehicle crash north of Eugene, where a 22-year-old Veneta man was killed.

The number of DUII arrests is down from last year’s 36 arrests during the same time period. More than half of this year’s arrests were made Saturday. Three arrests were made in Central Oregon.

OSP also responded to 80 crashes over the holiday weekend.

Concrete work begins on canal Substitute accused between Bend and Redmond of teaching drunk BEND-LA PINE, JEFFERSON SCHOOLS

By Dylan J. Darling The Bulletin

A project to line the sides of a Central Oregon irrigation canal with concrete will result in more water for farmers and fish, say the groups and agencies behind it.

“It’s to conserve the water that is currently being lost,” said Richard Macy, a member of the North Unit Irrigation District’s board and a

farmer near Culver.

Work on the canals began early this month.

Stopping seepage out of a five-mile stretch of the district’s main canal between Bend and Redmond could boost flows along the Crooked River near Smith Rock State Park by 220 cubic feet per second, according to the district.

The canal brings water from the Deschutes River in

Bend to farmland in Jefferson County. Along the way, pumps near the state park pour Crooked River water into the canal.

By keeping more of the Deschutes water in the canal, less Crooked water will be pumped, said Ken Bierly, deputy director of the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board.

The Teacher Standards and Practices Commission has suspended the license of a teacher for allegedly being intoxicated while substitute teaching at two Central Oregon schools.

Terrilynn Hargas of Boring, who is on probation for drunk driving, was suspected of being under the influence

of alcohol while serving as a substitute teacher at Madras Elementary School in November 2008 and Marshall High School in March 2009, according to a report from the commission released last month.

Hargas’ teaching license was suspended for six months, which will be followed by a four-year probationary period.

Making use of holiday refuse

The city of La Pine has named a fifth candidate for city manager to its interview list.

David Snider, a management intern for the city of Sandy, confirmed he will take part in the interview process Jan. 5.

Other candidates include Jerry Gillham, former assistant city manager in Prineville; Steve Hasson, director of planning services in Kuna, Idaho; Chad Mast, planning director in Sutherlin; and Matt Mumford, general manager of transit for Tillamook County Transportation.

The interviews will begin at 8:30 a.m. The La Pine City Council is expected to make an offer to one of the candidates at the end of the day.

Correction In a story headlined “State bar investigates Bend lawyer after client complaints,” which appeared Tuesday, Dec. 27, on Page C1, the details surrounding a bar complaint made against Bryan Gruetter by Credit Associates Inc. President Wesley Fisher were incorrect.

Credit Associates filed a lawsuit and obtained a summary judgment in one case, and another case is pending.

Work ethic applied to sport, studies

By Megan Kehoe The Bulletin

OUR SCHOOLS, OUR STUDENTS Educational news and activities, and local kids and their achievements.

• School Notes and submission info, C2

A lot of students are spending their winter vacation sleeping in and lounging around.

Not Doug Steinhauff.

The Bend High School senior has been getting up before 6 a.m. almost every morning for swim practice.

“You don’t really look forward to the hard work, but it’s unlike any other

sport,” Doug said. “It’s really difficult, but when you get done, it feels awesome.”

Doug, 17, has been swimming competitively since he was 8, and has been using this holiday break to get the most he can out of practice. He’s the captain of his school’s swim team, and last school year he took first place in the state for the 100-yard freestyle.

Doug practices year-round,

and almost every weekday morning before school. He also plays water polo. During the summer, he works as a lifeguard at the Juniper Swim & Fitness Center.

Doug said his dedication has taught him about the importance of effort, and just how far that can take someone. His work ethic also transfers to his school work.

Tree disposal

Continued from C1 In April 2010, Hargas, 42, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants in Clackamas County. She pleaded guilty and is on probation until June 2012.

Staff members at Madras Elementary School reported to the commission that they “detected the odor of alcohol” on Hargas while she was working at the school on Nov. 13, 2009.

Marshall High School staff members also suspected Hargas was under the influence of alcohol on March 20, 2009. Hargas was asked to take a Breathalyzer test, which detected that she was intoxicated.

Hargas, 42, was licensed by the commission in July 2000.

It is unclear how many times Hargas served as a substitute teacher for the Jefferson County School District or the High Desert Education Service District — which handles substitute teaching services for most Central Oregon school districts.

School officials from both districts were unavailable for comment. Hargas could not be reached.

Continued from C1 If you don’t feel comfortable leaving money on the street, Scouts will come to your door and leave an envelope with which you can send in a donation.

The money will help pay for Scouting activities, equipment and local service projects in the area.

Tree pickups will occur in most areas Saturday, Sunday and Jan. 8.

If you want to keep your tree

Irrigation Continued from C1 The change could keep about 7,800 acre-feet of water — enough to submerge 7,800 acres of land a foot deep in water — in the Crooked River each year.

Bierly said the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation each put up about $1 million to help fund the $2.25 million project, with the North Unity Irrigation District covering most of the rest of the cost.

The district provides water for about 59,000 acres of farmland, said Martin Richards, another member of the district’s board and a farmer near Madras. He said the district’s

a bit longer, you can always haul it to the dump yourself.

In Deschutes County, the landfill will take trees for free until the end of January.

“We’ll take them at no charge at the Knott Landfill (61050 S.E. 27th St.) or any of the transfer stations in the area,” said Chad Centola, operation manager for the county’s department of solid waste. “From there, they will go into our yard debris program. These trees won’t end up in the landfill.”

The trees and other yard waste will be converted into

wood chips to be used for compost and biomass fuel.

But the key is to get your tree out of the house before February if you want to avoid being charged by the size at the dump.

“It’s not uncommon to see them late in the year,” Centola said. “Those trees with no needles left, we see them yearround. Sometimes in August or September, I see some come in and I just have to assume they were once Christmas trees.”

water rights are newer than those of other districts around the Deschutes basin, so it is the last to be allocated water.

By improving the efficiency of the main canal, Richards said, more of the water the district gets will be used on farms, not lost to the leaky canal.

“It will give us a more reliable source of water for the district,” Richards said.

Having more water flowing down the Crooked River will help with salmon and steelhead restoration efforts, said Bobby Brunoe, general manager of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs’ natural resources branch.

“It’s a good thing for fish,” Brunoe said.

The Deschutes River Con-

servancy, a Bend-based nonprofit aimed at restoring streamflow around the Deschutes basin, worked on the project with the North Unit Irrigation District, the tribes, and Portland General Electric, as well as state and federal agencies.

Work should be done before irrigation season starts in April, said Nancy Coleman, a reality specialist with the Bureau of Reclamation in Bend. The bottom of the canal is concrete, but “the walls are just lava rock and compacted soil,” she said.

Construction crews are spraying concrete on the sides of the canals to cover the porous rock sides.

“I like that the classes help you come up with your own answers,” Doug said. “They aren’t just given to you.”

Doug is also involved in volunteer activities at the school. He’s been on the board of Bend High School’s Interact club — which helps both local and international causes — for three years, and has helped in numerous community service efforts.

Last year, he helped organize the club’s Pennies for Polio drive and raised money to buy school supplies for students in Bend’s sister city of Condega, Nicaragua.

LANE COUNTY

Beaverton woman extradited to face war crimes charges

Sentenced robber found victims online PORTLAND — A robber who found his Portland victims through gay chat lines and pretended to be interested in romance or sex has been sentenced to more than 14 years in prison.

Investigators said 35-yearold Elijah Whitney Cohens II had four victims earlier this year, ranging from their 20s to their 60s, and each time pretended once he met them to be a policeman.

The Oregonian reports that investigators tracked him down through a cigarette butt that had DNA matching an entry in the state database from his previous convictions, which included robbery, forgery, assault and burglary.

Cohens pleaded guilty to robbery, burglary and impersonating an officer. Judge Angel Lopez sentenced him to 150 months and ordered him to pay $7,000 in restitution.

Salem transient charged in killing SALEM — Police say a 22year-old man has been jailed on a murder charge in a killing at a Salem motel, and another man has been arrested.

The police identified the suspect Tuesday as Hugh Crow II and said the victim was attacked in a motel room where he’d been placed by a social service agency.

Police say Crow was booked on charges of murder, burglary and parole violation.

Police say the second man, 55-year-old Lee Rakow, was accused of burglary and parole violation.

Both are described as Salem-area transients. Police said Crow was in the room when they arrived Monday night after a call about a disturbance.

The police withheld the name of the victim until family members could be located.

An autopsy is scheduled today.

Pendleton officer on leave after bar fight PENDLETON — The Pendleton Police Department has placed one of its officers on administrative leave after an alleged bar fight.

The East Oregonian reports that the officer was off-duty when the fight was reported at The Hut Restaurant & Lounge.

Pendleton Police Chief Stuart Roberts says the officer was placed on leave while an investigation is launched on what happened on Saturday.

He says there are few witnesses to the fight and that the bar’s owner didn’t report what happened.

That task of investigating, though, will fall to the Oregon State Police, so Pendleton police can avoid conflicts of interest.

Sharon Latimer, left, and Kim Metzler stand in front of Parvin Butte, the site of a gravel mining project in Dexter. Both Latimer and Metzler oppose the mining project, and Lane County has begun fining the property owners — Melvin and Norman McDougal — $330 per day.

Despite fines, Dexter quarry continues mining operations The Associated Press DEXTER — Despite daily fines, a Lane County gravel mining operation continues to haul rock away from a 600-foot butte that, over decades, could be reduced to a 200-foot stub.

Neighbors have objected to the work at Parvin Butte, and the county has begun fining the owners $330 a day for working without land-use approvals, The Eugene Register-Guard reported Tuesday.

The developers contend the county lacks authority to regulate the mine.

The mine is at Dexter, an unincorporated area southeast of Eugene.

In October 2009, companies controlled by Greg Demers and brothers Melvin and Norman McDou-

gal bought the 51.5-acre butte from Union Pacific for about $360,000. A quarry on the east side hadn’t been used for 40 years, the Register-Guard reported.

Starting last year, the butte was logged, and then neighbors were surprised to hear excavators dropping rocks into dump trucks.

So far, the fines total about $3,000, and the developers are appealing, with a decision possible in January.

The attorney for the miners, Bill Kloos of Eugene, said county approval isn’t needed if the mining takes place more than 200 feet inside the property line.

County officials point to another requirement in the county code that says mining operations require a review that allows neighbors to weigh in

on the proposal’s compatibility with the neighborhood; undue traffic and pedestrian hazards; and adverse impact on public facilities and services.

The butte is zoned for quarry mining, and the owners most likely would get approval to mine if they went through a site review, said Jane Burgess, a compliance officer with Lane County’s Land Management Division.

That process could mean county restrictions on practices such as mining at night, requiring noise-reducing technology or limiting dump truck traffic.

“The noise alone is just going to destroy the whole community setting,” said Kim Metzler, who has a house on the butte’s southeastern flank.

“When they’re crushing, I can’t imagine what that will be like in the town.”

Ashland grocery store investigated for labor practices

By Sam Wheeler Ashland Daily Tidings

The Ashland Food Co-op continues to be investigated over an unfair labor practices complaint filed against its management by a union in mid-November.

The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which some employees have been trying to join since last April, filed the charges with the National Labor Relations Board on behalf of the prounion workers at the co-op.

“We do have internal timelines that we try our best to meet, but we don’t always,” said Jim Kobe, assistant to the regional director at the Seattle NLRB office.

“The investigation is still ongoing.”

Kobe said the investigation into the co-op’s ULP, which was filed Oct. 11, is behind its initial two-month completion schedule, but he could not provide an expected date for it to conclude.

Until then, the co-op will have to wait for a determina-

tion on the legitimacy of the 11 charges in the complaint. “I’m sure there are things moving behind the scenes that we are not aware about,” said Annie Hoy, outreach manager for the co-op.

“We haven’t heard anything back yet, so right now it’s just wait and see.”

Anne Dietz, a UFCW representative, said the union went ahead with the complaint after it received reports of coop managers monitoring prounion employees’ Facebook pages, pulling employees aside

to question them about their commitment to the union and asking them to sign an antiunion petition.

Kobe said after the investigation determines the merit or nonmerit of the charges, the union will be asked to withdraw the nonmerit charges, and the co-op will be asked to reach a settlement for each charge with merit.

The decision to carry on with an election to unionize the co-op is up to the pro-union employees, who firstly, alongside UFCW, will have to file a

petition to hold that election with the NLRB. In September, pro-union employees at the co-op said they had enough signatures to hold an election. Ultimately, they withheld from filing for an election, and instead filed the ULP, suggesting that the fairness of such an election had been skewed by the co-op management’s actions, said Dietz.

“We’re just waiting on some kind of movement from the NLRB, before we can move forward,” said Hoy.

Portland DUII suspect had 3 kids in car PORTLAND — Police say a man driving from the Oregon Coast to southwest Washington with his three children was arrested for investigation of drunken driving after the car stalled near a Portland bridge.

Lt. Robert King says officers responded to a report of a stalled car Monday evening and wound up arresting Daniel Lee Sherman. King says they later learned that the children had been texting their grandmother with concerns about their father’s driving.

The 34-year-old man was arrested for investigation of DUI, reckless driving and three counts of reckless endangerment.

King says the children — ages 10, 9 and 3 — were released to the custody of their grandmother, who lives in Woodland, Wash.

Sherman reportedly was making a 250-mile trip from Coos Bay to La Center, Wash.

E Weigh impact of fitness center on private business

T

The Bulletin

AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

B M C G B

J C R C

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-Chief Editor of Editorials

here is a serious question the Bend Park & Recreation District must confront with its plans for westside expansion: How much will it threaten the finan-

cial fitness of private businesses?

The district’s board voted last week to buy the old Mt. Bachelor Park and Ride on the corner of Simpson Avenue and Columbia Street. It looks like the district got a good deal — $2.5 million for 11 acres on the west side, close to the river.

But imagine you own a fitness center on Bend’s west side. What the government puts on that land — subsidized by local tax dollars — could very well close you down.

The district has been eyeing building an indoor recreation center on the west side for almost 10 years. Since at least 2002, district officials have said Juniper Swim & Fitness Center was overcrowded.

The center has been renovated since then.

What is the district going to put on the new location? The district doesn’t know, yet.

Bruce Ronning, the director of planning and development for the district, said the district is just getting started. It knows from community surveys that residents have a high “need� for indoor recreation programs of various kinds. And there are capacity problems at Ju-

niper at peak times.

Ronning said the district may not necessarily build a west-side Juniper. It has to look at what the needs are. And the district has other projects that also need money — Pine Nursery Park, Gopher Gulch.

Juniper can be relatively inexpensive to use. For $55 a month, you can do it all. You can drop in on instructed fitness classes and do all the lap swim, recreation swim, fitness center/weight room, hot tub, sauna and steam room you can squeeze in. There are cheaper packages, too, with fewer options. Private businesses can offer competitive experiences and more exclusive ones, but it can be hard to compete with a taxpayer subsidy.

We think it’s important that the district focus on unmet needs and supplementing what’s available already. How about an ice rink?

There are plenty of residents who may be well-served by a westside park district center. The district should give them affordable fitness options. But it must also weigh the impact of its plans on private businesses.

AARP tax exemption deserves the scrutiny

I

s AARP an independent advocate for the nation’s seniors? Or it is using the trust of its members to advance its own bottom line?

A congressional challenge to AARP’s tax-exempt status is bringing public attention to the complexities of its operations, and it should give pause to those who consider an AARP endorsement to be trusted independent advice.

Two GOP members of the House Ways and Means Committee wrote to the IRS last week with new details in support of their spring report, “Behind the Veil: The AARP America Doesn’t Know.�

In that report, Reps. Wally Herger, R-Calif., and Dave Reichert, R-Wash., detail the disconnect between the actual operations of AARP and the way many people view the organization: “AARP is not simply a non-profit entity claiming to advocate on behalf of America’s seniors. AARP is in fact a large complex and sophisticated organization with over $2.2 billion in total assets....�

AARP is one of the nation’s largest insurance companies, the report states, with seven of its 22 board members making up the en-

tire board of its for-profit insurance plan. And it gets far more of its revenue from its insurance ventures than from its membership.

The Republican report is critical of AARP’s support for President Barack Obama’s health care reform, and Democrats have responded by accusing the GOP of retaliating by challenging the group’s tax status.

Political motivations aside, there’s good reason to review the tax-exempt status of any organization to be sure it continues to meet those legal requirement as its structure develops over the years. And yes, Democrats are correct in pointing out that other such organizations may also deserve review.

But the part that interests us most is the one about trust.

AARP presents itself as an advocate for seniors. It lobbies intensively on public policy measures. It recommends products, including insurance policies.

If its motivations are more about its bottom line than the benefit of its members, then those members have lost a trusted adviser.

That’s a big loss, and they need to know it.

My Nickel’s Worth Wall Street wins on IPOs

Character not necessary

Here is an example of why Occupy Wall Street protesters have something to argue about: Facebook asks Wall Street for money to do an initial public offering. Wall Street says, “Sure. Give us 100 million shares, more or less, at $1 per share — perhaps 2 to 3 percent of the company stock. We will create a ‘value’ for the company, $50 billion in December 2010, now $100 billion — totally arbitrary. We will do the IPO at, say, $22 per share, and sell 20 percent of the stock to the public, about 2 billion shares.�

Wall Street nets $21 per share on its 100 million shares — total $2.1 billion.

Wall Street makes a few hundred million on the IPO underwriting. Wall Street also makes commission on the sale of the IPO, say, 2 percent on the total of the 2 billion shares multiplied by $22 per share — or $1 billion.

Over the next three years, the stock goes up, then down — you know the plan. Total volume creates another billion in trade fees. In 2015, the stock is worth $11 per share. The public has lost more than $8 billion on the stock, Wall Street made nearly $12 billion — and Wall Street is on to the next deal.

The precise math here is not important. For the most part, Wall Street is not about investing, it is about hype, and overvaluations.

It is interesting that there was an article in The Bulletin recently about life without Facebook. I really do not see what the appeal is. Their revenues come from advertising.

Think before investing.

Ken Egan Bend

I read recently of the return to Japan of one Michael Woolford, who had been sacked after 30 years there for blowing the whistle about $1.3 billion missing from the Olympus Corp.

The same publication mentioned that because of questions about his character, Newt Gingrich was not a very popular candidate for the presidency.

I recall that John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie were ruthless and characterless when it came to making their millions.

Somehow it seems that when getting power or making money is involved, character is thrown out the window. I’ve often stated that if we could see the financial statements of members of Congress at the start of their terms and again at the end, many such questions would be raised.

From my early work years, I recall a stock rule. It was called “inventory gain,� which merely meant that you made a profit, no matter how! Everything you did had that in mind. All articles on American finance overlook anything, honesty-wise, as long as the 2 percent get 98 percent of the money — cite Woolford’s case — indicating that character is not necessary! Why then do we think that a new president or an entire new Congress is going to put the stamp of honesty on politics — or business?

Just think “inventory gain!�

Russell Williams Sisters

Contract out executions A letter in the Dec. 10 edition of The Bulletin applauded Gov. John

Kitzhaber for his “courageous stand� in declaring a moratorium on capital punishment. The writer also called for an end to this “barbaric practice� in this “civilized, just and progressive nation� and also noted how executions cost more than incarceration for life.

It is true that capital punishment is more expensive than incarceration for life. That is because our “civilized, just and progressive� society made it that way.

This is the same fiscally foolish society that restricts development of our natural resources so they can’t be managed for profit. This is the same society that mandates we pay almost double on wages for government construction projects than similar non-government projects.

These are silly and costly rules we have imposed on ourselves. They can all be reversed.

The majority of people in this state do not find capital punishment too barbaric for those barbarians who have rightfully earned it.

You have to reach a certain level of non-humanlike behavior to be selected for capital punishment. Once it is decided — beyond a reasonable doubt — that one has achieved this level, it should be awarded to them.

It doesn’t necessarily require an $18,000 drug to do the job. If it were put out for bid, the job could be done for much less — possibly even for free.

Of course, if the government were not involved, proper sterilization might not occur where the killer’s body is penetrated, thereby increasing the risk of infection.

Tea party proposals preposterous, dangerous

By Bill Bodden recent correspondent apparently had a problem understanding why so many people are so negative toward the tea party.

Independents will tell him, if he is interested, that they are opposed for reasons similar to those they hold against the Republican and Democratic parties and their accomplices — too much talk ranging from simplistic nonsense to blatant lies, with hypocrisy and inhumanity thrown in for bad measure.

The difference is the remarkable facility of some tea partiers to be more preposterous and ludicrous, as the recent GOP debates demonstrated. This appears due — most likely — to their being the unappealing personality types described by Bob Altemeyer in his “The Authoritarians� and by John Dean in “Conservatives Without Conscience.�

Tea partiers complain about taxes, but they don’t seem to have any prob-

A

lem with incomprehensible sums of taxpayers’ money being dumped into that five-sided black hole on the Potomac known as the Pentagon and considered by many to be the most wasteful organization on the planet.

Hundreds of billions for our war department but nothing for health care for the needy.

In tea party logic, it’s wrong to expect multimillionaires to pay more in taxes, but it’s OK for children of working-class families to don uniforms and sacrifice their lives, limbs and mental stability for Corporate America’s illegal and immoral wars.

How’s that for values?

Tea partiers like to pontificate about freedom and liberty, but they align themselves with authoritarian types who would deny others these blessings while putting the nation at risk of becoming ruled by plutocrats and political oligarchs. There is frequent talk about the debt we could be

IN MY VIEW leaving our children and grandchildren. Worse is possible: A dictatorship armed with high-tech surveillance equipment and sociopathic uniformed thugs with clubs and pepper spray directed at its own people.

At a recent GOP debate for the party’s presidential nomination, all candidates expressed horror at the alleged rape of one child at Penn State, as they should have. However, except for Jon Huntsman and Ron Paul — who declined to pander to the apparently prevailing tea party attitudes — all other candidates spoke or have spoken favorably of wars, crusades and other crimes against humanity — Iraq, Gaza, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. — that have wreaked and could wreak slaughter and mayhem on countless children. How’s that for moral clarity?

The Great Skeptic predicted a mo-

ron would someday ascend to the White House. With the tea party’s help, Mencken’s prediction could be realized in 2012. If not a moron, then surely another charlatan.

In another letter to The Bulletin, an apparent tea party fellow traveler criticized an article by Les Lambert and offered as a counter-solution to our economic problems this tea party talking point: unregulated capitalism.

Capitalism does not have some ordained destiny. It is a human creation and, as such, is capable of good or ill or something in between. If it is unregulated, it is almost inevitable it will be for ill or worse. Examples throughout capitalism’s history are in overwhelming abundance. Consider the following: Slavery.

Capitalists in Ohio, either unregulated or ignoring regulations, polluted the Cuyahoga River so badly it

caught fire in 1969.

Similarly, other capitalist enterprises around the nation created such disastrously polluted landscapes that they were designated Superfund sites that will cost billions of dollars to rehabilitate.

Then there was the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal.

Capitalists unburdened by regulations sold asbestos and tobacco products that have caused early deaths to countless people and still do.

The bipartisan travesty by a corrupt Congress and the Clinton administration that deregulated the banks is considered by many impartial economists to have been a primary factor in our current economic mess.

If we had a car with a catastrophic history comparable to that of our version of capitalism, we would have dumped it long ago or arranged for a major overhaul. — Bill Bodden lives in Redmond.

Frankenthaler’s Color Field method influenced abstract expressionism

By Grace Glueck

FEATURED OBITUARY

New York Times News Service

Helen Frankenthaler, the lyrically abstract painter whose technique of staining pigment into raw canvas helped shape an influential art movement in the mid-20th century, and who became one of the most admired artists of her generation, died on Tuesday at her home in Darien, Conn. She was 83.

Her longtime assistant, Maureen St. Onge, said Frankenthaler died after a long illness but gave no other details.

Known as a second-generation abstract expressionist, Frankenthaler was married during the movement’s heyday to the painter Robert Motherwell, a leading first-generation member of the group. But she departed from the first generation’s romantic search for the “sublime� to pursue her own path.

Refining a technique, developed by Jackson Pollock, of pouring pigment directly onto canvas laid on the floor, Frankenthaler — heavily influencing the colorists Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland — devel-

oped a method of painting best known as Color Field. Where Pollock had used enamel that rested on raw canvas like skin, Frankenthaler poured turpentine-thinned paint in watery washes onto the raw canvas so that it soaked into the fabric weave, becoming one with it.

Her staining method emphasized the flat surface over illusory depth, and it called attention to the very nature of paint on canvas, a concern of artists and critics at the time.

It also brought a new, open airiness to the painted surface and was credited with releasing color from the gestural approach and romantic rhetoric of abstract expressionism.

Frankenthaler more or less stumbled on her stain technique, she said, first using it in creating “Mountains and Sea� (1952). Produced on her return to New York from a trip to Nova Scotia, the painting is a light-struck, diaphanous evocation of hills, rocks and water. Its delicate balance of drawing and painting, fresh

washes of color — predominantly blues and pinks — and breakthrough technique have made it one of her best-known works.

She later described the seemingly unfinished painting — which is on long-term loan to the National Gallery of Art in Washington — as “looking to many people like a large paint rag, casually accidental and incomplete.�

Although Frankenthaler rarely discussed the sources of her abstract imagery, it reflected her impressions of landscape, her meditations on personal experience and the pleasures of dealing with paint. Visually diverse, her paintings were never produced in “serial� themes like those of her Abstract Expressionist predecessors or her Color Field colleagues like Noland and Louis. She looked on each of her works as a separate exploration.

There is “no formula,� she said in an interview in The New York Times in 2003. “There are no rules. Let the picture lead you where it must go.�

Joint base Lewis-McChord — near Lakewood — is experiencing among the largest influxes of returning troops, and the emotional scarring some of them face is having an impact on their communities.

‘A base on the brink’ • As ‘the most troubled base in the military,’ Joint Base Lewis-McChord is having effect on neighboring cities

By Kim Murphy Los Angeles Times

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. — Mary Coghill Kirkland said she asked her son, 21year-old Spc. Derrick Kirkland, what was wrong as soon as he came back from his first deployment to Iraq in 2008.

He had a ready answer: “Mom, I’m a murderer.�

He told her how his team had kicked in the door of an Iraqi house and quickly shot a man inside. With the man now lying wounded on the floor, “my son got ordered by his sergeant to stand on his chest to make him bleed out faster,� Kirkland said. “He said, ‘We’ve got to move, and he’s got to die before we move.’ “ Not long after, Derrick told her, he had fallen asleep on guard duty, awakening as a car was driving through his checkpoint. He yelled for it to stop, but the family in the car spoke no English. “So my son shot up the car,� she said.

Summing up her son’s mental state after that deployment, Kirkland says: “What’s a nice word for saying that he was completely (messed) up?�

Kirkland relates the remaining years of her son’s life as if reading a script: He was depressed by his wife’s request for a divorce. On a second deployment in Iraq, he was caught putting a gun in his mouth and evacuated on suicide watch to Germany. There, he tried to overdose on pills. He was flown back to his home base here in Washington state. After a brief psychiatric evaluation, he was left alone in his room. He hanged himself with a cord in his closet.

Wars have always sent many of their practitioners home with lingering emotional scars, but the growing toll of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts is catching up not only with the U.S. military, but with communities like this. “It’s very much a local issue,� said Democratic state Rep. Tina Orwall, who led a hearing in December on how state and local officials can help returning soldiers land on their feet.

Here around Joint Base Lewis-McChord, a major staging base for the wars,

D E

the working-class suburbs are almost indistinguishable from the base itself. Towns like Lakewood, DuPont, Spanaway and Parkland are home not only to military families, but to thousands of veterans who over the years have stayed on after their enlistments.

Among them are many with mental health issues.

More than 13 percent of the Army, which has borne the brunt of the fighting, now meets the criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder.

Senior officers point out that today’s soldiers are under unique stresses. “At 24 years of age, a soldier, on average, has moved from home, family and friends and has resided in two other states; has traveled the world (deployed); been promoted four times; bought a car and wrecked it; married and had children; has had relationship and financial problems; seen death; is responsible for dozens of soldiers; maintains millions of dollars worth of equipment; and gets paid less than $40,000 a year,� Gen. Peter Chiarelli said in a report last year.

Here at Joint Base LewisMcChord, described by the independent military newspaper Stars and Stripes last year as “the most troubled base in the military,� all of these factors have crystallized into what some see as a community-wide crisis. A local veterans group calls it a “base on the brink.�

Military crime wave In a recent series of community meetings, the group warned that the trauma of multiple deployments has begun to show up in troubling numbers outside the base. The recent reports of suicides parallel those of murders, fights, robberies, domestic violence, drunk driving and drug overdoses.

The local crime wave became apparent as early as 2004, when three elite Army Rangers were among a group of five men who stormed into a Bank of America in Tacoma armed with AK-47s, took over the branch and walked out with $54,011.

Over the last two years, an Iraq veteran pleaded guilty to assault after being accused of waterboarding his 7-year-old foster son in the bathtub. Another was accused of pouring lighter fluid over his wife and setting her on fire; one was charged with torturing his 4year-old daughter for refusing

to say her ABCs. A Stryker Brigade soldier was convicted of the kidnap, torture and rape or attempted rape of two women, one of whom he shocked with cables attached to a car battery; and an Iraq war sergeant was convicted of strangling his wife and hiding her body in a storage bin. “I can tell you that in the last two years, we have had 24 instances in which we contacted soldiers who were armed with weapons,� said Lakewood Police Chief Bret Farrar. “We’ve had intimidation, stalking with a weapon, aggravated assault, domestic violence, drive-bys.�

The military is redoubling efforts to provide suicide hotlines and counseling.

The local Madigan Army Medical Center this year opened a $52-million “warrior transition� barracks for 408 wounded or stressed soldiers and their families. The center has seen a big increase in behavioral health visits — more than 118,000 this year. Col. Michael Brobeck, who commands the 555th Engineer Brigade at Lewis-McChord, thinks this is helping.

Over the last two years, he said, the number of his soldiers exhibiting an extremely high risk of mental health problems has declined. “Out of 4,000 (troops) when I started doing it about two years ago, we were in the 70s. Now I’m down in the 50s or low 60s,� he said.

Yet in the tough warrior culture of Lewis-McChord, some say soldiers who go to counseling or say they aren’t emotionally prepared to go back to war can be humiliated, or ignored.

Ashley Joppa-Hagemann of Yelm, Wash., a mother of two young children, said her husband, 25-year-old Staff Sgt. Jared Hagemann, begged Army commanders earlier this year not to have to return for what she said would be a ninth deployment overseas. She said she went herself to the base commander, all to no avail. “He was always drinking, and he became very violent and aggressive. There was just hatred in his eyes,� she said.

Joppa-Hagemann went to court on June 27 to get a restraining order to keep her husband away from her and the children, telling the court that her husband had threatened to kill himself “and take as many folks down with him as possible.�

The order couldn’t be served, as it turned out; Hagemann’s body was found the next day in a training field at Lewis-McChord, shot through the head. “We told them. We told everybody there was something wrong,� she said. “Nobody would listen.�

NFL Patriots, 49ers fill Pro Bowl rosters NEW YORK — Tom Brady is one of eight Patriots and Patrick Willis one of eight 49ers to make the Pro Bowl, the most on each roster.

Defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay (14-1), led by starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Baltimore (11-4), led by veteran linebacker Ray Lewis, have seven apiece for the Jan. 29 game in Honolulu, the NFL announced Tuesday.

Brady is one of seven starters from New England (12-3).

Wide receiver Wes Welker, tight end Rob Gronkowski, defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, defensive end Andre Carter, and guards Brian Waters and Logan Mankins are also starters for the AFC from the Patriots. Special teamer Matthew Slater is the other New England representative.

Linebacker Willis, DE Justin Smith, cornerback Carlos Rogers and tackle Joe Staley will start for the NFC from the 49ers (12-3), who had only Smith and Willis make the Pro Bowl last year.

Green Bay’s Rodgers is the starting NFC quarterback, backed by record-setting Drew Brees of New Orleans (12-3).

“It does have special significance, because when I was voted in in 2009, I was the third guy and I was very thankful to be voted in, and got the opportunity to start because of some injuries and guys not going,” Rodgers said. “It’s great to be voted in as a starter, that means a lot to me and it’s a special honor.”

Four of the NFL’s biggest headline makers this season did not get voted in by players, coaches and fans: Lions DT Ndamukong Suh, Steelers LB James Harrison, Panthers rookie QB Cam Newton and Denver QB Tim Tebow.

Suh might have lost support after drawing a two-game suspension for stomping an opponent For a listing of the complete roster, see Scoreboard, D2.

Sisters defeats Burns to continue hot start • Chase Goff scores 18 points as the Outlaws improve to 6-2 with a win at their own tourney

Steve Gibbons / USGA

Bend’s Andrew Vijarro hits a shot on the 14th hole during the quarterfinal round at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship at the Old MacDonald course at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in July. Vijarro’s run in the event ended in the quarterfinals, but it was still the most impressive tournament performance by a Central Oregon golfer in 2011.

• The Champions Tour’s pro golfers didn’t return to Central Oregon this year, but a number of players from the area were in the news

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

For the first time since 2006, Central Oregon pro golf fans were without household names in pro golf to watch.

Gone was The Tradition, a major championship on pro golf’s over-50 Champions Tour staged at Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater Club since 2007. But that does not mean it was a slow year for local golf.

Central Oregon entertained plenty of top amateur golfers from around the Pacific Northwest and beyond in what was a full summer of regionally significant amateur golf tournaments.

And some local golfers excelled beyond the confines of the High Desert.

Bend’s Andrew Vijarro, a senior at the University of Oregon, made a name for himself on the national amateur scene with an impressive run at a United States Golf Association championship. And some of this region’s other college golfers also made a mark.

After a year of tumult in 2010, the local golf industry appeared to settle down in 2011, including Aspen Lakes Golf Course in Sisters emerg-

ing from bankruptcy in August after filing for Chapter 11 reorganization in January.

Yep, there was plenty to talk about around the tee boxes. Here is a look at some of the biggest local golf stories of 2011:

A week on the coast Vijarro, a University of Oregon golfer who won the 2008 Oregon Men’s Stroke Play Championship and the 2009 Oregon Amateur, hit a personal high-water mark in July at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship.

Not far from home at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort on the southern Oregon Coast and playing in a field of 156 elite amateurs, Vijarro earned the 40th of 64 seeds for single-elimination match play after two rounds of stroke play.

Vijarro won by close margins in the first two rounds of match play.

And in front of a national Golf Channel audience for the third round, Vijarro drilled a 60foot putt for a key birdie and went on to win 2 and 1 in the third round and advance to the quarterfinals.

Bend’s Andrew Vijarro made it to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur Public Links.

Redmond’s Tim Sundseth qualified for the U.S. Amateur.

Bulletin staff report SISTERS — With conference play on the horizon, the Sisters boys’ basketball team has established itself as a tough opponent in Class 4A. Class 3A Burns found out the hard way in Tuesday night’s Sisters Holiday Tournament game.

Chase Goff scored 14 of his 18 points in the first half for the tournament host Outlaws in a 65-28 victory over the Hilanders. Ten different players scored for Sisters, which improved its overall record to 6-2.

The Outlaws dominated from the outset, heading into the locker room at halftime with a 41-11 lead.

Eli Harrison hit five threepointers — among his 17 total points for the game — in the first half.

John Erickson was the third Sisters player in double figures on the night, with 10 points, five rebounds and five assists.

Jalen Miller contributed six rebounds and six assists for the Outlaws.

Sisters will take on Seaside tonight at 6 p.m. during the second day of the three-day tournament.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Although Aaron Henry meant no offense to Mickey Mouse or the Magic Kingdom, the Wisconsin safety thinks the Badgers and their opponents aren’t quite as dazzled by the Rose Bowl’s pomp and pageantry the second time around.

No. 6 Oregon (11-2) and the ninthranked Badgers (11-2) descended

on Disneyland on Tuesday for the traditional start to Rose Bowl week festivities, eagerly riding the teacups and posing for pictures with fans and costumed characters alike.

Yet the Ducks and Badgers have both climbed this Matterhorn before: Wisconsin lost last season’s Rose Bowl to TCU, while Oregon lost two years ago to Ohio State.

S B Football • Schools object to NCAA multi-year scholarship plan: For the second time in less than two weeks, schools are objecting to a reform measure sought by university presidents and endorsed by NCAA president Mark Emmert. More than 75 schools are asking to override a plan approved in October to allow multi-year athletic scholarships rather than the one-year renewable awards schools currently provide. That’s the minimum number of dissenters needed for reconsideration by the Division I Board of Directors when it meets next month in Indianapolis at the annual NCAA convention. The NCAA announced the change the Friday before Christmas. On Dec. 15, the NCAA suspended plans to give athletes a $2,000 stipend for living costs not covered by scholarships after at least 125 schools objected.

The higher number of protests allows the organization to immediately put the change on hold.

Both measures were pushed by Emmert and adopted as emergency legislation after a presidential summit in August.

• Sugar Bowl, BP to promote Gulf seafood, tourism: The committee that hosts the Sugar Bowl has announced plans with oil giant BP for a two-week promotion of Gulf Coast seafood and culture. The Gulf Coast Seafood & Tourism Bash is billed by the Allstate Sugar Bowl Committee as a two-week celebration being held as New Orleans hosts the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 3 and the BCS championship on Jan. 9. The promotion comes as the Gulf seafood industry continues efforts to rebound from the 2010 BP oil spill. State and federal officials have declared Gulf seafood safe to eat, but industry leaders have said repeatedly that they are fighting to overcome negative perceptions since the spill.

• Request by West Virginia to dismiss Big East suit denied: A Rhode Island judge has denied a request by West Virginia University to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Big East conference over the university’s bid to make a quick exit for the Big 12. Providence County Superior Court Judge Michael Silverstein issued his decision on Tuesday.

The conference’s lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and an order that West Virginia stay in the conference for 27 months. West Virginia accepted an invitation from the Big 12 in October and hopes to join in time for the 2012 football season.

• Packers make 30,000 more shares of stock available: Sales of Green Bay Packers stock have

been so brisk since an initial offering three weeks ago that the team is making another 30,000 shares available. The team initially offered 250,000 shares for sale starting Dec. 6. But the allotment is nearly gone, even though the shares cost $250 each and have virtually no resale value.

The offering is scheduled to end Feb. 29 or when all remaining shares are sold.

Basketball • Bucks’ Gooden suspended one game: Milwaukee Bucks forward Drew Gooden was suspended without pay for the team’s first home game Tuesday night for his flagrant foul in the season opener. Gooden was ejected late in the third quarter Monday for clocking Gerald Henderson in the head with his arm as the Bobcats guard attempted to make a driving layup in Charlotte’s 96-95 win.

Winter sports • Winter triathlon championship moved to Montana: USA Triathlon has moved its 2012 Winter Triathlon National Championship from Vermont to Montana because of a lack of snow in the Northeast. The Montana Standard reports the championship will be shifted to the Powder Hound Winter Triathlon on Jan. 29 at Homestake Lodge southeast of Butte. The race includes a 5-kilometer run, a 10-kilometer mountain bike ride and a 5-kilometer cross country skiing course. It was originally slated for the Gunstock Winter Triathlon on Jan. 22 in Gilford, N.H.

Baseball • Delaware judge explains reasoning in Dodgers case: A U.S. District Judge in Delaware says a bankruptcy judge erred in freeing the Los Angeles Dodgers from provisions of its current Fox Sports TV contract. U.S. District Judge Leonard Stark released a 33-page ruling Tuesday explaining his reasoning after he issued an order last Friday to halt the Dodgers’ plans to sell the media rights to future games as part of the team’s impending sale. Fox currently has the rights to produce, record and telecast Dodgers games through the 2013 season. The contract gives Fox certain rights in negotiating an extension, including the right to talk exclusively with the team in advance of competing offers.

But a judge handling the team’s bankruptcy proceedings ruled the “no-shop” provisions were unenforceable in bankruptcy.

NBA ROUNDUP

NHL ROUNDUP

Red Wings beat Blues The Associated Press DETROIT — When the Detroit Red Wings raised their game in the third period, the St. Louis Blues couldn’t match it.

Pavel Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall scored 56 seconds apart in the final frame to give the Red Wings a 3-2 comeback win over the Blues on Tuesday night.

“We showed good determination in the third period,” Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. “We were down 2-0 to a good team that doesn’t give up a lot of shots, a lot of opportunity.

We worked our way back, had good goaltending.”

Datsyuk added an assist, and Nicklas Lidstrom also scored for the Red Wings, who won their 11th consecutive home game. Ian White had two assists, and Jimmy Howard stopped 29 shots.

“We threw everything we had at them,” Kronwall said. “We were fortunate to get a couple of those through at the end.”

Detroit lost the first two meetings with the Blues this season in St. Louis.

Wallace, Aldridge pace Blazers over Kings The Associated Press PORTLAND — With two wins in two nights, Marcus Camby joked that he and the Portland Trail Blazers were ready to play again the next day.

LaMarcus Aldridge was having none of it.

“He can play by himself,” Aldridge said. “I need a day off.”

Aldridge was only half-kidding after scoring 24 points and grabbing eight rebounds as the Trail Blazers beat the Sacramento Kings 101-79 Tuesday night.

Gerald Wallace had 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists for the Blazers. Nicolas Batum added 15 points and five rebounds off the bench. Portland gets a day off before concluding its three-game homestand Thursday against Denver.

The Kings led for much of the first half but made just nine of 38 shots after halftime.

Sacramento had just 14 points in the final quarter.

“We had our moments in the first 16, 18, 20 minutes then we fell apart,” Sacramento coach Paul Westphal said. “This was a step in our development that was painful. We got taught by a more experienced team that is far above us now.”

DeMarcus Cousins led the way for Sacramento (1-1) with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Marcus Thornton added 14 points and Jason Thompson had 11. The Kings committed 23 fouls and 20 turnovers for the game.

The Kings have the youngest opening-day roster in the NBA with an average age of 24.347 years. Ten of the Kings

have played two seasons or less in the NBA. Both teams were playing after opening their seasons on Monday. The Kings beat the

Los Angeles Lakers 100-91 behind Thornton’s 27 points.

Portland managed a 107-103 win over Philadelphia.

“I felt kind of sluggish in the beginning, kinda had dead legs,” Aldridge said. “I just played through it and I felt really good in the second half.”

The Kings were in control early, getting baskets from seven of eight players in the opening quarter and leading by as many as 10 in the second.

However, the Blazers erased the gap with a 16-6 run and went into halftime tied at 46.

The Blazers took a 76-65 lead on the first basket of the

fourth. Batum finished a fastbreak with a layup to make it 88-73 with 4:38 remaining.

“We moved the ball way better in the first half,” Thompson said. “We didn’t move it around in the second half, and sometimes when we didn’t have things going they started to build a lead on us.”

fore beating Boston. Dwyane Wade finished with 24 points and eight assists for Miami, which got 18 from Chris Bosh and twice saw its lead cut to three in the final minutes.

Cole delivered the answer both times with a pair of jump shots, and the Heat escaped.

N.C. State hangs on for win over Louisville at Belk Bowl have to feel vindicated by anybody.”

Glennon threw two of his touchdown passes to senior receiver T.J. Graham, who made the most of his final game at N.C. State with seven catches for 116 yards, including a 65-yard score on a nifty catch-and-run.

He threw another to Tobais Palmer, who made what Glennon called “the best catch I’ve seen all year” when Palmer completely turned his body around in midair and managed to catch it and keep running to the end zone for a 35-yard score.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL ROUNDUP

The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — North Carolina State coach Tom O’Brien took a lot of heat when he decided to part ways with star quarterback Russell Wilson and go with unproven junior Mike Glennon as his starter.

It all worked out on Tuesday night in the Belk Bowl, with Glennon throwing for 264 yards and three touchdowns to lead N.C. State over Louisville 31-24 — and earn MVP honors in the process.

So O’Brien feels vindicated, right?

Well, not so much.

“I never had to feel vindicated by any of that,” said O’Brien, who ran his record to 8-2 in bowl games. “That would never be my goal once I made a decision.

I don’t care what people think. I made a decision what was best for this football team going forward. When I made the decision and weighing all options and looking at the talent this kid has I knew we would have a quarterback. I don’t

North Carolina State’s T.J. Graham (6) pulls Louisville’s Adrian Bushell (21) across the goal line for a touchdown during the first half of the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C., Tuesday. N.C. State took a 31-24 victory.

The Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska’s scouting report apparently didn’t put much emphasis on Ryan Evans. Other Big Ten teams probably won’t make the same mistake.

Evans scored a career-high 22 points and No. 11 Wisconsin defeated injury-plagued Nebraska 64-40 in the Cornhuskers’ inaugural Big Ten game Tuesday night.

Evans came in as the Badgers’ No. 4 scorer at 9.9 points per game, and he had made just two of seven three-point attempts in 13 games.

The junior forward hit two of three from long range against the Huskers and finished nine of 11 overall after going one for six for five points against Mississippi Valley State on Friday.

“I’m sure they overlooked me,” Evans said. “I wanted to get conference play off to the right start and I ended up hitting a few. Teammates were

The Huskers (8-4, 0-1) had scored the game’s first seven points, but Evans’ swirling three-pointer tied it 10-all — and the Badgers (12-2, 1-0) were off on a 19-2 run.

Also on Tuesday: No. 23 Virginia. . . . . . . . . . . . . .69 Maryland-Eastern Shore . . . .42 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Mike Scott scored 10 of his 17 points during a 12-point spurt early in the second half to help Virginia overcome a sluggish start.

‘Tale of the Moth’ lifts sports for Holliday season

Alabama running back Eddie Lacy (42) is tackled by LSU linebacker Karnell Hatcher (37) and defensive tackle Josh Downs (77) during a game that LSU won earlier this season.

The two teams will meet again in the BCS title game, a matchup that has some calling for a playoff system.

• A look back at some of the quirky sports stories of 2011

Scandal Continued from D1 “I think there is a disillusionment there, but I think it’s reality. We haven’t seen behind the curtain before,” said Jarrod Chin, director for training and curriculum at the Center for Sport in Society at Northeastern University.

“We’ve used sport as a way to ignore problems. But now what we’re seeing is they exist there, too.

“That’s what makes it the worst year in sports. What people are coming to realize is the thing we thought was such a great escape has a lot of the same issues we’re trying to escape from.”

In sports, most years are defined by their triumphs. Golf’s latest phenom, Rory McIlroy, winning his first major at the U.S. Open, perhaps. Or Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers following up their Super Bowl victory by flirting with a perfect season. Maybe Novak Djokovic’s utter dominance of the tennis world, a 70-6 record that included victories at the Australian Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open.

Even in years tainted by steroids or labor strife, there was always someone or some performance that stood tall.

Not this year.

The lasting memories of 2011 will be of mug shots and court rooms, millionaires squabbling with billionaires, and big red Xs drawn through the first two months of the NBA schedule. Sixteen games were pared off each NBA team’s schedule because of drawn-out labor negotiations, while the NFL wasted its summer vacation in conference rooms and mediation sessions.

“We have this arena where sport is pure, sport has been sanitized,” said Gary Sailes, a professor of sport sociology at Indiana University. “That’s just not the case.”

Fall in Happy Valley That illusion was shattered for good by the charges against former Penn State defensive coordinator and one-time Paterno heir apparent Jerry Sandusky.

Once cherished in the Penn State community for his ferocious defenses and apparent devotion to at-risk children, Sandusky now faces more than 50 charges of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 12-year span. Prosecutors say Sandusky used his Nittany Lions connections to groom his victims, and some of the alleged assaults occurred on Penn State property.

Sandusky has denied the allegations, telling NBC and The New York Times that he showered and horsed around with boys but never sexually abused them. An emotional and lurid trial is a safe bet for 2012.

The shock of the initial charges quickly turned to anger as details emerged that Penn State officials — Paterno included — knew of an alleged assault in 2002 but never called police.

Receivers coach Mike McQueary testified that, as a graduate assistant, he believes he saw Sandusky raping a boy of about 10 or 12 in the Penn State showers. McQueary reported the incident to Paterno, who in turn told Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and university vice president Gary Schultz.

Though Paterno said McQueary was not as explicit in his description of what happened as he was in his grand jury testimony, criticism over the now 85-year-old coach’s failure to do more intensified before Penn State’s board of trustees fired him Nov. 9.

The dismissal came just 10 days after Paterno celebrated his 409th career victory, making him major college football’s winningest coach.

“This is a tragedy. It is one of the great sorrows of my life,” Paterno said in a statement announcing his intention to retire at the end of the season, issued a few hours before he was fired.

“With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.”

Paterno was diagnosed with lung cancer a few days later, and has undergone radiation and chemotherapy. He also re-fractured his pelvis earlier this month.

Curley and Schultz face charges of perjury and failing to properly report suspected abuse. The scandal also cost Penn State president Graham Spanier his job and tarnished the Nittany Lions’ squeaky clean reputation.

Trouble in Syracuse And it wasn’t just Penn State. The very next week, two former ball boys accused longtime Syracuse basketball assistant Bernie Fine of molesting them.

Bobby Davis, now 39, told ESPN that Fine molested him beginning in 1984 and that the sexual contact continued until he was around 27. A ball boy for six years, Davis said that the abuse occurred at Fine’s home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the 1987 Final Four.

Davis’ stepbrother, Lang, 45, who also was a ball boy, told ESPN that Fine began molesting him while he was in fifth or sixth grade.

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim was defiant in his initial defense of Fine, his top assistant since 1976, dismissing Davis and Long as opportunistic liars looking to capitalize on the misery at Penn State.

But Boeheim’s tone changed after ESPN aired a tape Nov. 27 in which a woman it identified as Fine’s wife tells Davis she knew “everything” that was going on.

Syracuse fired Fine that day.

“What is most important is that this matter be fully investigated and that anyone with information be supported to come forward so that the truth can be found,” Boeheim said after Fine was ousted. “I deeply regret any statements I made that might have inhibited that from occurring or been insensitive to victims of abuse.”

Still, Davis and Lang are suing Boeheim and Syracuse for defamation. And the district attorney in Syracuse has said the two are credible but that Fine cannot be charged because the statute of limitations has expired.

Federal authorities are still investigating claims by a third accuser. A fourth man, a prison inmate in New York state, also has accused Fine of abuse starting decades ago.

“The academic cheating, the recruitment violations, the gambling, taking steroids, that stuff has been a part of sports forever,” Sailes said. “But the veracity, the seriousness (of the sex-abuse scandals) — this is the last bastion of American innocence, our kids. So yeah, this is the worst.”

Problems in college football There also were plenty of scandals that, any other year, would have seemed reprehensible.

The NCAA came down on Ohio State, slapping the Buckeyes with that dreaded “failure to monitor” tag, banning them from a bowl game in 2012 and reducing scholarships for a series of misdeeds that had already cost former coach Jim Tressel his job and forced some players to sit out games this season.

And Tressel may as well carry a “damaged goods” sign after the NCAA hit him with a “show cause” penalty, making it almost impossible for another school to hire him.

Miami is sitting out the bowl season in hopes of sparing itself similar pain from the NCAA, which is investigating allegations a booster gave cash, cars, yacht rides, access to strip clubs, even prostitutes, to 72 athletes over a nine-year span. Twelve Hurricanes have already been punished by the NCAA, with penalties ranging from making restitution to lengthy suspensions.

Southern California was stripped of its 2004 BCS title in June for the shenanigans involving Reggie Bush, and defending champion Auburn and runner-up Oregon had to spend some quality time with NCAA investigators after questions about players’ eligibility. And don’t forget Tennessee, Boise State, Connecticut, West Virginia, Michigan, LSU and North Carolina, all of whom wound up on the NCAA’s naughty list this year.

“We have had a heck of a year of scandals and disruptions,” NCAA president Mark Emmert said earlier this month.

“To have really good success on the one hand and all these grenades blowing up has been frustrating.”

So, too, the latest BCS mess.

The BCS may as well stand for Bowl Controversy Series for all the grumbling and mumbling it manages to produce on a yearly basis, and this year has only furthered the argument for some sort of a playoff in college football. Despite already losing to LSU once, Alabama will play the top-ranked Tigers in a Jan. 9 title game. Never mind that Oklahoma State had three wins against teams in the final BCS top 15, compared with just one for Alabama. Or that the Cow-

boys’ only loss came in double overtime at Iowa State, one day after Oklahoma State women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke and an assistant coach were killed in a plane crash.

Michigan State was relegated to the Outback Bowl while Michigan is headed to the Sugar Bowl despite the Spartans’ superior ranking and the fact they beat the Wolverines. Boise State was banished to the MAACO Bowl because of a 1-point loss to TCU. “That’s the system,” Michigan State receiver B.J. Cunningham said. “It’s not fair. Life isn’t fair, but that’s how it is.”

Labor strife Tell that to NFL and NBA fans, who spent months watching players and owners bicker as they tried to divvy up their billion-dollar industries.

“I’d like on behalf of both sides to apologize to the fans,” New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said when the NFL and its players reached a new contract July 25 after a 4½-month lockout, the league’s first work stoppage since 1987. “For the last five, six months we’ve been talking about the business of football and not what goes on on the field and building the teams in each market.”

Or not talking. Early negotiations were downright ugly, with Tom Brady and Drew Brees leading a lawsuit against the NFL and the players trying to do an end run of the lockout by decertifying their union. Even a federal mediator couldn’t get the sides to budge over the first few months.

“We have some work to do to make sure (fans) understand we are sorry for the frustration we put them through over the last six months,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

Hey, at least the NFL had the good sense to settle its labor war before any of the season was lost. The NBA finally tipped off on Christmas Day after reaching agreement on a 10-year deal that, so far, seems only to have produced more gripes.

The NBA locked the players out for 161 days, insisting a new deal was necessary because owners were losing buckets of money — $300 million last season alone and hundreds of millions more in the years before that — and small-market teams could no longer compete with free-spending franchises like the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers.

The new deal cut player salaries by 12 percent and includes a significant increase in revenue sharing. But players refused to budge on a hard salary cap, meaning there is still little to stop teams from throwing money at big-name players so long as they’re willing to pay the luxury tax.

Which explains why, with the ink barely dry on the new agreement, the league-owned New Orleans Hornets shipped All-Star Chris Paul to Los Angeles and Dwight Howard was asking for a ticket out of Orlando.

“Just like the regular fan out there, just like you guys, you do wonder why stuff happened. You look at it and say, ‘Why did the lockout happen?’ ” Miami guard Dwyane Wade said. “I don’t see it helping right now. Maybe in a few years we’ll all look back and see why this lockout happened. But right now it’s not showing its face at all.”

Other issues Hockey, meanwhile, is struggling to balance its fast, physical play with growing evidence that hard hits can cause long-lasting damage. NHL poster boy Sidney Crosby has played only eight games since January because of the lingering impact of hard shots, while points leader Claude Giroux missed four games because of a concussion. The Flyers shut captain Chris Pronger down just two months into the season because of severe post-concussion syndrome.

Equally sobering were the deaths this year of enforcers Derek Boogaard, Wade Belak and Rick Rypien.

Auto racing mourned the death of two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon, who was killed Oct. 16 in a fiery, 15-car wreck in the opening laps of the IndyCar Series season finale at Las Vegas. It was IndyCar’s first fatality in five years.

Troubling events in a year seemed filled with little else.

“In our society we create these myths around athletes and athletics,” said Sport in Society’s Chin. “But they’re myths, and that’s the whole issue.”

Who knows what lurks in the night air? Sometimes just a flutter, and everything changes.

Matt Holliday was out in left field one August night in St. Louis. He already had enough to handle — slashing line drives, the glare of the lights, the crowd. It never occurred to him that what he really needed was a screen porch.

For in the eighth inning of that game against the Dodgers, a moth flew deep inside his right ear. He walked off the field with the trainer, his hand pressed to his ear. Holliday had been on the disabled list twice this season with an appendectomy and injured thigh.

This was new territory.

The question then was how to extract the little bugger. Two trainers and a team physician — Is there an entomologist in the house? — tried at first to outfox the moth. They darkened the room and hoped the critter would simply fly away.

When that failed, they brought out the heavy artillery — some tweezers — and the moth was no more.

“He died from the overflow of wisdom inside my head,” Holliday said.

In a sports year that at times seemed like an unremitting stream of labor discord and troubling news across college campuses, the Tale of the Moth was a flittering and welcome change of pace.

It also recalled a playoff game in Cleveland four years ago when a swarm of midges enjoyed a fleshy banquet on the ample jowls of Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain.

The midges, however, were considerate enough to just park themselves on the surface of Chamberlain’s skin.

The moth had the temerity to enter an open portal.

“That was my concern,” Holliday said. “That it would eat through my brain.”

His brain was fine, and so were the Cardinals, who went on win the World Series — Clydesdales high-stepping in triumph, with no sightings of moths.

But the moth, or one of its brethren, was not done making mischief.

Later that month in Boston, the Yankees’ Phil Hughes was delivering a 3-2 pitch when a moth flew into his eye. The batter walked, leading to a big inning and a Boston victory.

New York manager Joe Girardi understood that forces of nature were beyond his control.

“You can’t stop it and get a redo,” he said.

And there was more to the animal kingdom-and-sports theme in 2011 than moths in flight.

Belgian racing pigeons were swooped up for as much as $200,000 a bird by Chinese buyers. Paul the Octopus, the creature from the deep who predicted scores from soccer’s 2010 World Cup, was memorialized in a German aquarium.

And Danish cyclist Martin Lind was soaring at almost 40 mph in a race in Italy when he smacked into a herd of cattle that wandered on the course.

Mistakes, mishaps and misdeeds of all kinds abounded this year.

The Real Madrid soccer team finally won back the Copa del Rey trophy after 18

years, only for it to be dropped by defender Sergio Ramos and crushed under a bus. And there was no save by Ajax goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, who mishandled the Dutch league trophy that toppled from the top of a bus in Amsterdam.

Or consider the botched travel arrangements at hockey’s world championships. The French team was booked for a flight to Poland. Only one problem: It was supposed to go to Slovakia.

Plans also went awry for Jakub Maly, who was training in Florida with the Austrian Olympic swim team. On a day off at the beach, he dug a huge hole and thought it would be fun to jump in. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported that the sand collapsed, and 60 rescuers needed to extricate him.

Interment, apparently, was all the rage. A junior varsity football coach from Marcellus, N.Y., had an inspirational moment. He decided after a loss to stop the team bus and have his players lie between rows of graves in a cemetery. He was soon suspended.

But no one had a monopoly on bad judgment. At a low-level soccer game in England, a player tackled a streaker dashing around the field in a thong.

The referee, however, chose to eject the player for attacking the intruder. Ashley Vickers, who was given the red card, told the Dorset Echo: “It beggars belief.”

Yet the referee — and even the streaker — were models of good sense compared to some Cologne fans at a German league soccer game.

They threw plastic cups of urine and excrement at rival fans sitting below, actions Cologne’s president deemed “incomprehensible.”

Sports went through an identity crisis of sorts this year.

Names, in all their infinite variety, were front and center.

Ron Artest of the Lakers legally changed his name to Metta World Peace. (Metta is a Buddhist term for expansive love.) And maybe someday he can team in the frontcourt with God’s Gift Achiuwa. The Nigerian player joined the St. John’s team this season. Among the siblings of this minister’s son are Promise and God’s Will.

Edmonton Oilers center Gilbert Brule had no idea what was in store when he picked up a hitchhiker in British Columbia. Turned out it was Bono.

The rock star — yes, he was actually thumbing a ride — thanked Brule by giving him and his girlfriend backstage passes for a U2 concert. The couple did have other plans, but quickly got rid of their tickets for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals.

“We go to walk our dog and Bono ends up in our car,” Brule told the Edmonton Journal.

Golf, of course, is a humbling game. And Kevin Na, like many before him, was reminded all too well of that at the Texas Open. On the ninth hole, he began by driving into the woods. That was one of his better shots. By the time he was done, he marked a 16 on his scorecard.

Even in victory, golf can bring a player down to size.

Scotland’s Elliot Saltman made a hole-in-one at the Madrid Masters, where various prizes were awarded for aces, with watches and cars offered on some holes. Saltman won his body weight in ham.

“I’ve been trying to lose weight,” he said. “But now I’m thinking I should have just kept it.”

Rose Continued from D1 While the Rose Bowl week is packed with fun, it’s mostly about redemption for these conference champions.

“Last year, guys were thrilled to be here, and maybe a bit overwhelmed, too,” said Henry, the Badgers’ senior leader. “Some guys had never been out of Wisconsin, and then all of a sudden we’re staying in Beverly Hills and going out in Hollywood. Coming back here, the feeling is totally different. We’ll still have fun, but it’s all about business first.”

Both teams basked in the warm sun on a Disneyperfect Orange County day, although Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema assured fans the weather was exactly the same back in Madison. With Bielema wearing flip-flops and Oregon’s Chip Kelly in plaid shorts, both coaches shook Mickey’s big white hand before speaking of a mutual respect between the teams.

“It’s always cool for the kids to experience the stuff that goes around a game like this,” Kelly said. “It’s a special time in everybody’s lives, so we make sure to get the full experience. We won’t have trouble focusing on what we have to do.”

The Badgers welcomed a week away from the Wisconsin winter, starting with a trip to the Rose Bowl itself shortly after their plane landed Monday. While most of the players were there a year earlier, quarterback Russell Wilson got his first trip to Pasadena.

“The field doesn’t get any better than the grass they have,” said Wilson, the remarkable transfer from North Carolina State. “It’s like you’re playing on a par5 on the PGA Tour.”

For the second straight year, the Badgers are preparing for the departure of a key assistant coach after the Rose Bowl. Offensive coordinator Paul Chryst landed the top job at Pittsburgh earlier this month, and Bielema confirmed Tuesday that Chryst will take offensive line coach Bob Bostad with him.

Horned Frogs last year, but emerged from the 21-19 loss disappointed in their offense’s production and their defense’s ability to create turnovers. Tailback Montee Ball remembers the dual excitement and emptiness of last New Year’s Day. “We’re more experienced now, more mature,” said Ball, a Heisman Trophy finalist. “Last year, we came in with our eyes kind of wide at the whole L.A. lifestyle. We’re not going to have the same experience this time.”

The Ducks echoed the Badgers’ thoughts about getting a second chance — or even a third. Oregon has reached three consecutive BCS games, but was beaten in the first two, including last year’s BCS title game loss to Auburn.

“It’s exciting, but we’ve all been in big games over the last few years,” said offensive lineman Darrion Weems, a Los Angeles-area native. “We know what we have to do to be successful and get a win this time around. We’re going to have fun, but we’re trying to win this game, not just play in it.”

Black Butte, at a glance

The Bulletin

The Bulletin continues a weekly Tee To Green feature in which we check in via email with golf professionals at Central Oregon courses for an offseason update.

This week we contacted Jeff Fought, the director of golf at Black Butte Ranch.

Fought has been the director of golf at Black Butte Ranch since 2000 and has helped oversee an era of change at the resort’s two golf courses, Big Meadow and Glaze Meadow. Currently the resort is undergoing a $3.75 million renovation of the Glaze Meadow course, which is being redesigned by Fought’s brother, John, a heralded golf course architect and the 1977 U.S. Amateur champion. Glaze Meadow, which has been closed since fall 2010, is scheduled to reopen in 2012.

This is what Jeff Fought had to say about Black Butte Ranch and the Central Oregon golf industry as a whole:

Q: A:

How was business in 2011?

Big Meadow golf course was really busy this year. We knew we would see an increase in rounds due to Glaze Meadow being closed, but we exceeded our expectations.

Were any changes of note made to the facility during the past year?

Glaze Meadow golf course went through a complete renovation. We kept the same routing with the exception of the first three holes. But the entire golf course changed

Q: A:

Number of holes: 36 — Glaze Meadow (18) and Big Meadow (18) Status: Open seasonally Location: Eight miles northwest of Sisters on U.S. Highway 20 Tee times: Big Meadow, 541-595-1545; Glaze Meadow, 541-595-1270 Course stats: Big Meadow, par 72, 7,002 yards; Glaze Meadow, TBA Director of golf: Jeff Fought Head golf professionals: Terry Anderson, Big Meadow; Tom Baker, Glaze Meadow Course designers: Big Meadow: Robert Muir Graves (1972); Glaze Meadow: Gene “Bunny” Mason (1980), John Fought redesign (2012) Extras: Two driving ranges, putting greens, chipping and bunker practice areas Website: www.blackbutteranch.com

dramatically.

John Fought Design designed the $3.75 million transformation and the new course really evokes the spirit of the Golden Age of golf. With grassfaced bunkers, elevated bentgrass greens and our classic tree-lined fairways we aim to remind golfers of those classic courses built in the 1920s. In addition, the practice facilities at Glaze Meadow have been updated, including a new 18,000-squarefoot practice green and an expanded driving range. The existing clubhouse is also going through a $500,000 renovation and has added many more amenities.

Q:

Are any changes and/or improvements to the facility scheduled for 2012?

We will just be getting Glaze Meadow golf course ready to open early summer.

Golf Continued from D1 Vijarro’s run ended the following morning against Corbin Mills, the tournament’s top seed and eventual champion. Mills never trailed as Vijarro struggled to knock down putts before falling, 4 and 3.

Still, Vijarro was proud of his run.

“It was a blast while it lasted,” Vijarro said.

Standout performances Tim Sundseth did not give himself much of a chance to earn one of just two berths awarded at a 36-hole U.S. Amateur Championship qualifier at Juniper Golf Club.

Playing against a field filled with NCAA Division I golfers, the 28-yearold from Redmond who is now the assistant men’s golf coach at Oregon State surprised even himself by shooting a 67-75—142 to land in a four-way playoff with Vijarro, Portland’s Eric Grimberg and The Dalles’ Damian Telles.

On his 41st hole of the day, Sundseth hit a 4-footer for par on Juniper’s ninth hole to eliminate Telles.

Sundseth advanced to play in the most prestigious amateur tournament in the country, staged in August at Erin Hills in Wisconsin. But Sundseth’s upstart run ended after he shot a 4 over par through 36 holes of stroke play, finishing in a 34-way tie for 131st place (315 golfers were in the field) and four shots short of match play.

Chadd Cocco, a pro golfer from Bend, qualified in June for the Nationwide Tour’s Wichita Open in Kansas.

But Cocco shot 6 over through 36 holes to miss the cut.

In the amateur ranks, Bend’s Jesse Heinly, a sophomore at Concordia University in Portland, earned his bestever finish in an Oregon Golf Association tournament after shooting 1 under to end August’s 54-hole Oregon Stroke Play Championship in second place. In September, Heinly scored an upset win by outpacing a field of mostly NCAA Division I golfers to win Boise State’s Dash Thomas Invitational.

Bend’s Tiffany Schoning, a senior at Portland State, finished second at August’s Women’s Stroke Play Championship after earning All-Big Sky Conference first-team honors in spring.

And Redmond’s Alex Fitch, a senior at Linfield, won three of the five smallcollege tournaments he entered this fall.

Golf industry An unseasonably cold spring kept golfers at bay in the early part of the golf season. But compared with 2010 — a year when three golf courses

dustry started to bounce back from the economic struggles that have gripped the region since 2007?

It’s too early to tell.

Black Butte Ranch is working hard on making sure the customer feels like they get a great value, that’s why the Ranch is making a major investment in Glaze Meadow. In golf there are so many choices, and you need to make sure the customers who are playing at your facilities want to come back.

Q: A:

What more can be done to bring new golfers to the course?

We are losing golfers due to attrition.

It is our responsibility to encourage young players to pick up the game. Last year, golf lost nearly a million participants, and it’s imperative that we get young people having fun with golf and encouraging multiple generations to golf together.

changed ownership and two switched management — 2011 seemed downright quiet in the Central Oregon golf industry.

Earlier this month, Honolulu-based developer The Resort Group bought $43 million in loans at Bend’s Pronghorn Club. But the developer’s longrange plans for the 640-acre resort, which includes both Pronghorn’s Nicklaus and Fazio courses, have yet to be announced.

In January, the holding company that owns the clubhouse and land under Aspen Lakes Golf Course in Sisters, Wildhorse Meadows LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to allow the company to restructure $4.6 million in debt. By August, the company had emerged from bankruptcy in a deal that “will help keep Aspen Lakes on solid footing for the foreseeable future,” said Matt Cyrus, co-owner of Aspen Lakes and Wildhorse Meadows.

Some new investments were made, too. Black Butte Ranch continued its $3.75 million renovation of its Glaze Meadow course (which will reopen in 2012), Crosswater Club began in August a $500,000 rebuild of all 18 of its greens, and Awbrey Glen Golf Club in Bend tabbed Bend course architect David McLay Kidd to draw up a new master plan for the private club.

Tournament golf Central Oregon was no stranger to championship golf in 2011.

In July, elite amateur golfers from the Northwest and beyond met at Tetherow Golf Club for the Pacific Northwest Golf Association’s Men’s Amateur. Bend golfers Vijarro, Heinly and Taylor Garbutt all made the round of 32 in single-elimination match play.

But after knocking out Heinly 2 and 1, Vijarro was unexpectedly knocked out in the round of 16.

Utah’s Zac Blair went on to win the tournament championship.

In other tournaments, Washington amateur Reid Martin beat a field of Northwest pros at Awbrey Glen in June’s Oregon Open Invitational.

Larry Daniels, of Seattle, won the PNGA’s Senior Men’s Amateur at Black Butte Ranch’s Big Meadow course. And Florida’s Shun Yat Hak and California’s Gabriella Then in July outpaced a field of junior golf prodigies at Crosswater for the American Junior Golf Association’s Rolex Tournament of Champions.

And finally, Wade Bittle, a 48-yearold from Leavenworth, Wash., rose to the top of the 550-golfer field to win the Golf World Pacific Amateur Golf Classic in September.

It was a busy year indeed on the Central Oregon links.

Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke raises his arms on the 18th green after winning the British Open at Royal St. George’s golf course in Sandwich, England, on July 17. Clarke was having trouble on the hole in calculating the number of putts he could take without relinquishing the lead.

A look back at 2011 with tales from the PGA Tour

By Doug Ferguson

PRO GOLF

The Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Mike Tuten has spent the past 20 years on the North Shore of Oahu shaping surfboards.

He joined his brother, Titleist rep Chris Tuten, for a round of golf on the Plantation Course at Kapalua at the start of the year.

Walking down the seventh fairway, the Pacific Ocean on the horizon, Tuten said he found a lot of similarities between surfing and golf.

“It’s all about controlling your inner self and enjoying the environment around you,” Tuten said.

That made sense to Adam Scott, who does a fair bit of surfing.

Ditto for Geoff Ogilvy, who described himself as a “splashin-the-water kind of surfer.”

“A lot of surfing is just sitting on the back of your board and just enjoying the place you’re at,” Ogilvy said. “You can do it with friends or on your own. Some of the appeal is that you’re out there on your own with golf, too. Surfing is similar. A lot of guys who go surfing would be those types of guys who like to get out and do their own thing.”

For a technical answer, Kelly Slater weighed in.

“Physically, there’s not a lot of similarities,” Slater said at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. “When you surf, you do twist your body.

You twist your shoulders and bring the board to where your shoulders are. When you catch a wave, you don’t want to be thinking about the crowd, cameras, how pretty it is. You want to have a calm mind when you take off on a wave.”

It all sounded good in theory until the question was posed to Ernie Els on the range at Waialae.

Are there any similarities between golf and surfing?

“No, I don’t agree with that,” Els said.

He pointed to the 30-foot palm trees lining both sides of the range to make his argument.

“You see a wave that big coming at you, I don’t see how you can enjoy your environment,” Els said. “I would be trying to get the hell out of there. No, golf is not like surfing. You don’t get killed playing golf.”

The 2011 season began with waves crashing along the shores of Maui and Oahu.

Rory McIlroy wiped out at the Masters and had the ride of his life at the U.S. Open.

Luke Donald is riding a wave that doesn’t seem to end. And late in the year, Tiger Woods showed signs of paddling back out to sea.

Along the way, there were plenty of other moments that went beyond birdies and bogeys.

Revenge backfires Saturday at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is when CBS Sports focuses primarily on the celebrities in the field, who don’t always take golf — or the interviews — all that seriously. David Feherty attempted to interview comedian George Lopez, who essentially spent his time in front of the camera making fun of the Irishman.

Feherty was riding his bike along 17 Mile Drive the next morning, still thinking about how Lopez buried him on TV, when he decided it was time for revenge. It was 6 a.m. and he knew the house where Lopez was staying, so Feherty went to the front door and began ringing the bell. Over and over and over.

No answer.

He took out his phone and called Lopez, and the comedian answered with a groggy voice.

“George! Why aren’t you answering the door?” Feherty told him.

Lopez informed him that his doorbell wasn’t ringing.

Just at that moment, Feherty heard another groggy voice, slightly perturbed, through the intercom.

“Who is this?”

Feherty froze. He was at the wrong house. Lopez was in the one on the other side of the road.

“I was looking at him across the street,” Lopez said. “I think I’ve still got a picture of it. He looked like a wet rat.”

Memories off the course Bo Van Pelt walked up to the porch at the Augusta National clubhouse to find his caddie waiting for him with the golf bag and listening to a man on the bench telling stories.

“Bo,” caddie Mark Chaney said. “Have you met Bob Goalby?”

For the next hour, the 1968 Masters champion regaled Van Pelt with stories about practice rounds with Ben Hogan, about the stories Sam Snead once told at the Champions Dinner at Augusta, about playing in the Ryder Cup against British players hardly anyone knew.

Van Pelt didn’t want to leave. Goalby would finish a story, there would be a long pause, and then he would start another.

At the end of the week, Van Pelt was among eight players who had a share of the lead on Sunday. He tied for eighth.

Yet that Tuesday afternoon on the porch with Goalby was as strong a memory as his best finish at the Masters.

“To me, those are the things where I feel fortunate I get to do what I do,” Van Pelt said a few weeks ago. “It’s great to be at Augusta. And you’re thinking about the tournament. But

when you get a chance to visit with someone like that, those other things can wait. I could have sat there all day.”

How many putts?

Darren Clarke couldn’t do the math.

For a guy who spent two decades chasing the claret jug, Clarke did a remarkable job keeping a clear head until he approached the 18th green at Royal St. George’s and tried to figure out what remained for him to capture golf’s oldest championship.

He played the final hole the way he wanted, taking the bunkers out of play off the tee and hitting to the back left of the green.

“The crowd was roaring and shouting, and I’m thinking, ‘How many putts do I have from there?’ I promise you, that’s what I was thinking,” Clarke said. “And I couldn’t get the number in my head.

The only time that I really figured it out was when I was standing over the ball. I’ve got five putts.”

He took three to make a meaningless bogey and win by three shots over Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson.

put the effort into it that I have to for me to enjoy playing? It’s very difficult.”

At the end of a long day that included a golf-course opening, Palmer made up his mind.

“I’ve decided I’m going to give it a shot this winter at Bay Hill, for my own satisfaction,” he said. “I’m going to work at it.”

Three weeks later, using a 5-iron from 163 yards on the Charger Course at Bay Hill, the King made his 20th career hole-in-hole and shot 79.

Getting back to business Fred Couples was outside the ropes near the first tee at Royal Melbourne, holding court on the world of sports as only Couples can do, while Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson prepared to play for the first time as partners in the Presidents Cup. Couples wanted to know about the sale of baseball’s Houston Astros, and how they could go to the American League, and if someone bought the Seattle Mariners, could the new owner demand they be in the National League? The conversation shifted to hockey, back to baseball, a brief stop for the NFL, back to hockey.

And then he stopped.

“You know, I should be over there talking to Dustin and Tiger instead of you two clowns,” he said.

Maybe so. But, as one reporter asked, what would be his preference?

“You guys,” Couples said.

Nodding in the direction of Woods and Johnson, he added with a smile, “Those guys don’t give me anything.”

Palmer still the King at 82 Arnold Palmer was asked to describe his perfect day, and he frowned.

“I’m in a dilemma right now because I can’t hit the ball the way I want to,” Palmer said.

“I can do things that will allow me to hit the ball where I want to hit it, but not as far.

But straight isn’t the answer for me because I can’t hit it far enough. At 82, am I going to

IN BRIEF Gingerbread Trail benefits nonprofit Businesses throughout Sisters are showing off holiday panache for a cause with the sixth annual Gingerbread Trail.

Twenty-five retailers, from Sisters Bakery to Jennifer Lake Gallery to Poppies restaurant, are all displaying gingerbread houses now through Saturday. Some are table centerpiece-size, while others are nearly life-size. Most reflect the businesses’ flair.

With a trail map in hand, shoppers can visit the houses downtown and on the outskirts of Sisters. Boxes are next to each house, and the public is asked to “vote” for favorites with a donation.

The house that raises the most money wins.

All money donated benefits Sisters Habitat for Humanity, a local nonprofit that strives to provide housing to those in need. Maps are available at the Sisters Chamber of Commerce, Sisters Habitat for Humanity Thrift Store and its ReStore and at most of the participating businesses.

WHEN TO BUY

By Heidi Hagemeier • The Bulletin obile devices, Internet commerce and the sluggish economy have changed the world of retail, yet some shopping adages remain relevant.

One such nugget of wisdom is the cyclical nature of sales — certain types of merchandise are apt to go on sale at certain times of year.

Reasons vary by product, experts say. For instance, furniture still often goes on sale in January and again in July. The reason, CouponCabin.com president Jackie Warrick said in an email, is that new styles usually go

M

on display in February and August. Stores cut prices in the months before to make room for the new merchandise.

Some items are cheaper because they are on sale when you least need them. So look for hats and gloves in March and air conditioners in January.

Keep in mind, however, the new forces in retail are making an impact. Thus, mind the email alerts and circulars to spot good sales tips.

Some also advocate that any time of year is a good time for deals. Just express eagerness to buy and then ask for the best price possible.

“With retailers as hungry as they are today, if you know how to approach the retailer you can get a good price,” said sales expert Grant Cardone, who stars in a National Geographic Channel’s program about business success called “The Turnaround King.”

Remember as well that just because there are great prices doesn’t mean there will be great selection.

Therefore, consider this glimpse into 2012 a rough guide for when to buy what. It might be worth waiting for a purchase until retailers are most likely to put their best prices forward.

Make holiday gift returns painless Are you one of the roughly 40 percent of people who will return a gift to the store this holiday season? If so, the National Retail Federation is offering you some advice: Be patient.

The week after Christmas is one of the busiest of the year for retailers.

To make the return process easier, the federation has a few tips.

The organization’s 2011 holiday survey says nearly 62 percent of Americans included a gift receipt with their present. The receipt will make the return easier and perhaps explain the retailer’s return policy.

Also, before heading out into the cold, check the retailer’s website.

Many businesses outline their return policy online. It will save you time and possible frustration to know you have everything you need for the transaction before you reach the customer service counter.

Lastly, for merchandise bought online, see if it’s possible to return the goods at a local, physical location. Retailers vary on who pays for return shipping. Some merchants pick up the tab for returns, others just for exchanges. Taking it back locally might be quite a bit easier.

Men, once again, invest in skin care

By Douglas Quenqua New York Times News Service

Not long ago, Thomas Sullivan’s beauty routine began and ended with Irish Spring. But as Sullivan, an entrepreneur, actor, film producer and restaurant owner, approached 40, he realized his livelihood might benefit from a bit more personal maintenance.

“I have to take advantage of any

way I can to look, if not younger, healthy,” said Sullivan, who is 43, lives in Brooklyn Heights and has a young daughter. “Working in the restaurant and film industry leaves little time for sleep or working out with any regularity.”

So, he started investing in some pricey skin-care products.

Today, Sullivan can rattle off a half-

dozen creams that make up his daily routine: StriVectin moisturizer; Kiehl’s Abyssine Night Eye Cream; Kiehl’s Facial Fuel; something called HydraEnergetic Ice Cold Ball Roller from L’Oreal. All in all, he estimates that he spends about $600 a year on such products. “I feel this is a small way to compensate,” he said.

When a penny saved is a television show TV SPOTLIGHT

By BRIAN STELTER New York Times News Service

On the day after Christmas, TLC’s cameras were cruising Forever 21, Lane Bryant and GameStop stores in Florida and California for a future episode of recessionera entertainment: “Extreme Couponing.�

At this penny-pinching moment in American history, this reality show about moms (and a few dads) who compulsively clip coupons and stockpile free stuff is a breakout hit for TLC. So the channel is trying to make the most of it, filming holiday specials and conceiving two spinoffs that will be shown this week.

The first, “Extreme Couponing: All-Stars,� is a series that has its premiere Tuesday, about people competing to save the most money on their groceries.

The second, “Extreme Cheapskates,� is a special at 9 tonight, about people who barter, dumpster-dive and forage for free goods and services. If the special receives good ratings, it too could become a series. “We feel like we’ve identified a brand-new genre, which is ‘found money,’� said Amy Winter, the general manager of TLC. As mundane as it may seem, watching “Extreme Couponing� can be addicting, just like couponing. Viewers root for the shoppers, whose stories of economic hardship and shopping salvation are told in 15minute increments. “It’s doing two things at once,� said Matt Sharp, an executive producer. “It’s tapping into the unbelievable, yet it’s also relatable.�

Almost everyone goes to the supermarket, but almost no

one takes home $600 worth of groceries for a nickel. Yet it’s an appealing idea, especially at a time of high unemployment and consumer malaise.

The show’s formation follows the recent timeline of the economy. After the financial collapse in 2008, as U.S. households cut back on spending in the recession, a few television stations and newspapers ran features about fanatical coupon cutters. Some were professionals, like Susan Samtur, who had been writing books and articles about couponing for decades and whose pointers were suddenly back in vogue. “Her weekly grocery bill you’ll have to see to believe,� said Kris Van Cleave of WJLA, a Washington-area TV station, when he interviewed Samtur in April 2009. With her coupons and rebates filed by category, she saved $144.11 on a trip with Van Cleave, paying just $9.43 for a week’s worth of groceries.

CNN picked up the WJLA report, and Sharp sent the video to a colleague at his production company, Sharp Entertainment. “There’s a show here,� Sharp wrote in an email. “Something in EXTREME CHEAPLIVING.�

TLC has high hopes for “AllStars,� which appears to be inspired by the classic game show “Supermarket Sweep.�

In each episode two people will shop with coupons for charity, and the person with the highest percentage in savings will advance to the final shopping competition. The winner will be named the Ultimate Extreme Couponer and receive a trophy with a grocery cart on top. “It taps into the notion that life is a game show,� Sharp said.

A & A

Man with roving eye online needs meds to stay grounded D e a r Abby: My marriage has been on the rocks since 2008, when I caught my husband talking to other girls online. He swore he would never do it again and I trusted him, only for it to happen again and again. We have a 2-year-old and I’m pregnant with our second child.

He has now placed another ad online stating that he’s a single dad. I am torn. He keeps telling me he loves me and wants only me, and he doesn’t know what’s wrong with him.

He is bipolar and not taking meds for it. He promised this time he will get help and try to get better.

This is the fifth time he has placed an ad or chatted with other girls online. I don’t know if I should call it quits or keep trying. I love him and want us to be a family, but I don’t know how much more I can take. — Torn in California Dear Torn: Because you still love your husband, make his taking his medication a condition of your continuing the marriage. He needs to be willing to prove to you that he wants you to stay. If he won’t do that, then you will have to decide if this is the way you want to spend the rest of your life. And please, for your sake and that of your kids, don’t have more children with him until you’re sure your marriage is on solid ground.

Dear Abby: I’m an independent, never-married woman who has been holding out for the right man. I finally found him in “Wayne,� a 49-yearold widower with two adult daughters.

Wayne and I have been together for a year — living together for six months — but his daughters still refuse to meet me. Wayne says they need time because they lost their mother only two years ago and aren’t ready to accept anyone else in his life. The rest of his family has been welcoming and sweet. I’m invited

This year your ability to adapt and grow comes to the forefront. Many changes could greet you. You might not be thrilled in the immediate future, but ultimately you will be pleased. If you are single, remind yourself that time is an ally. Use it.

Don’t decide on a commitment until next year. If you are attached, the two of you have different opinions.

Respect the differences, and your bond will grow closer. AQUARIUS can offend your sensibilities by their very nature.

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) HHH Read between the lines with a friend. At first you might feel this is unnecessary, as this person generally is forthright.

Your imagination peaks in a brainstorming session. You might have a lot going on in your mind but say little. Tonight: Others wonder if you are Houdini, the way you vanished.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH A lot drops on you out of the blue. You handle responsibility well, but that doesn’t mean it knocks your socks off. Be willing to say no once in a while. Focus on a meeting that could turn into a brainstorming situation. Tonight: Where the fun is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Do needed research — now is the time to ask a question, not later. You know what you want.

However, is it reasonable and is there a better path? You have a great imagination; now you are finding ways to harness some of those great ideas. Tonight: Working late.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Deal with people directly.

Your eye contact and gestures tell them when you are not kidding.

You might be taken aback by what is going on. Opportunities strike when you zero in on what you want.

Tonight: Follow the music.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others seek you out en masse. You might not be able to follow through on your plans because of the constant interruptions. You like hearing from others, but you might need to isolate yourself. An important conversation needs to be postponed until later.

Tonight: Talk time.

TODAY DEAR ABBY to some family functions, but allowed to attend only those that Wayne’s daughters won’t be at.

I feel like I am able to share only part of his life and nothing will move forward until his children accept me. I love Wayne. I have searched my whole life for someone like him. How long is long enough to wait? What if they never do? — On the Sidelines Dear On the Sidelines: You have assessed your situation correctly. You ARE sharing only part of Wayne’s life, and won’t be moving forward until his adult daughters accept you OR Wayne asserts himself. Wayne should be ashamed of himself. He should have introduced you to his daughters when you started living together. As his partner, you should not have been excluded from any family functions. As long as Wayne does nothing, nothing will change.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have worked hard and spent our money carefully. We are almost ready to pay off our home. I would love to have a “mortgage-burning� party, but I’m worried about showing off in this uncertain economy.

Can we have this party, or should we just make our last payment and be quiet? — Thrilled in San Jose Dear Thrilled: Taking into consideration that many people have not been as fortunate as you in spite of the fact that they too worked hard, lived frugally and followed all the rules, my advice is to have a quiet celebration with your husband and forgo the party. — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

By Jacqueline Bigar

E3

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Get as much done as possible. Yes, you are overwhelmed by everything you have to do. Your imagination and creativity could open up a door. Reach out for someone at a distance. Once more, you are reminded just how difficult another person can be. Tonight: Midweek break!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH With everything that is going on around you, you might have difficulty settling down.

Suddenly, someone who is distant wants to pull in close. You wonder what is going on with him or her.

Your imagination emerges with a simple chore or errand. Tonight: Have a talk with a key partner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your ability to see a situation through someone else’s eyes could be important. Yet your first reaction is to pull back from what this person expresses. A child or loved one interjects some lightness into your day. Tonight: Kissing goodbye to 2012 as only you can. Isn’t it a little early?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Stay centered, knowing you have a lot to accomplish. You could feel overwhelmed by everything that appears. You might have had enough of a friend who, in a sense, is yanking your chain. Tonight: Head home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH A boss or someone you look up to could be down on what you think is a good, workable idea. Know that you might need to instrument this project or do it on your own. Use care with your finances. Tonight: Let your imagination choose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Use the daylight hours to the max, and finish up as much work as you can. Do you feel overwhelmed by what is going on?

Keep reaching for more information, or get a respected associate’s feedback. Discuss what you would like to occur. Tonight: Your treat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might not be comfortable with others in the morning. Isolate yourself. You will accomplish more and emerge feeling much better. You have pushed to the max to get to this point. Your ability to circumvent a problem saves the day. Tonight: Happier and ready to greet the world. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

THE BULLETIN • WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2011

Men Continued from E1 Graduating from bar soap to, say, organic face wash is a transition many men will never make, let alone adding concealers, herbal moisturizers or age-defying sunscreens to their daily routines. Some men tried in the middle of the previous decade — we called them metrosexuals — but the fad quickly died out, dragging sales of just-for-men beauty products down with it.

But there is once again a demand among men for highend skin-care products, in spite of a moribund economy and high unemployment. Or maybe because of it. The reason, beauty analysts say, is a changing attitude among men, who now associate healthylooking skin less with vanity than with professionalism.

At a time when job security is at a low, they say, men do not have to work in front of a camera to place a higher premium on being presentable.

“Men today say they feel they have to look better to be competitive,” said Celeste Hilling, the founder and chief

executive of Skin Authority, a brand of skin creams that introduced a men’s line in 2010.

Sales of premium skin-care products for men jumped 5 percent that year, and have risen another 12 percent so far in 2011, according to the NPD Group, a market research firm. Women buying products for men account for only 25 percent of those sales: Most of the time, men buy these products for themselves.

(Not that men aren’t still influenced by women when it comes to skin care. The first bottle of StriVectin that Sullivan ever tried belonged to his mother-in-law. “We were on vacation, and I used it for a couple days and was like, this stuff is awesome,” he said.)

‘A modern guy’ Looking to capitalize on the trend, manufacturers are again filling shelves with creams designed for men. This time, though, they are trying to avoid the too-prissy mistakes of the previous decade.

“The man today purchasing these products is so different than eight years ago,” Hilling said. “These guys who always

10 steps to a simpler life

By Kevin Stevens

any of these “conveniences.”

Hometalk.com

When chatting with some friends or clients, it’s not uncommon to hear them say that they are envious of my “simpler life.”

My response is generally that what is perceived as “simple” has a lot to do with my attitude; while some days are simple, others are not. Being a small business owner and trying to coordinate multiple clients, projects and schedules can be pretty draining and hectic. I have made some great steps to make my life simpler but there are still days when it can be a bit overwhelming.

Given the fact that my life can actually get quite hectic, I have found these practices to be very helpful. They work for me — they could work for you.

Work is work and home is home. Being able to punch out at the end of the day and leave the work baggage behind is one way to make your life feel less stressful.

Granted some jobs and career choices can influence this ability to disconnect your work life from “living,” the sooner you can remove this overlap, change can start.

1.

Less is more. I feel that one of the biggest burdens to happiness comes from too much stuff, whether these are material things or activities. Having more is not always better. Consumerism is contagious and a hard habit to break. People often equate “things” with happiness.

Working 60 hours a week to pay for a too-big house filled with stuff you don’t need or use is a trap.

2.

Time never sleeps. People 3. often say their lives are too busy because they “don’t have enough time.” Each day only has 24 hours. It’s not the day that is too short, but the list of things stuffed into the day is too big. Here priorities will allow you to thin the list to what will fit or needs to fit.

Bye-bye TV. Some num4. bers to think about: The New York Times reported, “Americans watched more television than ever in 2010, according to the Nielsen Co. Total viewing of broadcast networks and basic cable channels rose about 1 percent for the year, to an average of 34 hours per person per week.” If you’re having trouble with the “time” issue above there is a pretty easy fix. Push the “off” button on the remote.

I terminated my satellite TV service back in January, and I have not missed it a bit. The three shows I have grown to love are viewed via my Internet. Saving the $60 to $100 a month is a bonus, too.

Don’t swap one time wast5. er for another. As I mentioned above, my TV service is gone; the trick was to not fill that space with other equally distracting events.

Limit online social time.

6.

This can be emails, Facebook, Twitter or simply texting.

Fitting in a set time for this, and limiting that time, will do wonders. Twenty years ago people got by just fine with out

Erin Baiano / New York Times News Service

Thomas Sullivan, 43, wants to look healthy, if not young. He doesn’t have much time for sleep or workouts, so he started investing in some pricey skin-care products.

thought it was vain or too metrosexual” to splurge on beauty products “now think it’s almost a badge they wear to say, ‘I’m a modern guy because I care about my skin.’ ” A common theme among the new crop of men’s products is that they are multitaskers.

Sunscreens double as moisturizers, and toners double as conditioners. Indeed, all the items in the Skin Authority Man line, including a daily sunscreen and

a toner, are labeled “age-defying,” an acknowledgment that most men are not likely to buy a separate wrinkle reverser.

“Men are very utilitarian,” Hilling said. When it comes to beauty routines, “they are willing to do two steps, not eight, like a woman.”

Many men are wary of any product that will add time to their morning routine. They also tend to be more skeptical of over-the-top promises

made by manufacturers. Even claims to halt aging can serve as a turnoff, said Blake Yeh, founder of Organic Regimens, another new line.

“The biggest thing in my view is guys want it to work, and it has to work right away,” said Yeh, whose products include an Ultra Smooth Shave Formula and a Microfine Face scrub. “We’re just more impatient than our female counterparts, who are willing to try something that will make them look younger in a couple months. Guys want it, and they want it now.”

There are other signs that men are open to incorporating new products and techniques if the items will make them look or feel younger. Sales of Botox and other fillers for men increased 10 percent in 2010, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. And college campuses are rife with the smell of body sprays made

by Axe and Old Spice, a category that did not even exist in the United States a decade ago.

But while men have periodically shown an interest in expanding their skin-cream

horizons, they are likely to reverse themselves.

“As much as everyone was getting involved in the category back in 2003 and 2004, we didn’t see that men were so quick to change their behavior,” said Karen Grant, the senior beauty industry analyst with the NPD Group.

“The majority of men still don’t know they have a skincare issue. Because of that, they’re not necessarily feeling that they need to use a product specifically designed for their face.”

Even with his $600-ayear habit, Sullivan said he still uses Irish Spring in the shower. And for every man like him, there are many more like Jaime Llorca, an engineer from Barcelona, Spain, who now lives in Red Bank, N.J. Two years ago, a female friend took him to a CVS to buy premium skin products.

“I used them for maybe two, three months,” he said, and then never bought them again.

The problem was not that he didn’t like or couldn’t afford the products.

“I just didn’t see a difference,” he said.

Best fashion trends of 2011

By Anne Bratskeir

Declutter.

Distractions can make your brain work harder than it needs to.

An active working brain can keep the Alzheimer’s away, but the difference between “thought” and “noise” is key.

Physical clutter can add visual stress and frustration to your day. Most people will agree that walking into a tidy room puts their minds into a more peaceful state. When the space is clean maintaining it, in its clean state, is much simpler. A few years ago I realized that letting go of stuff is very enlightening. I have seen more stuff leave the house lately than come in.

7.

Have some hobbies and 8. personal time. A good example of someone who uses this practice to keep life sane and simple is my fiancee. She has a hectic work schedule and occasionally has to work at home. When she does finally get to punch out, she heads to her crafting/studio space and works on her “fairies and miniatures” or kicks back to listen to an audio book. This is a cleansing and Zen-like practice for her.

Newsday

Cheers all around for the world of fashion in 2011 that brought us ease, girlishness and all-out pretty styles for spring/summer, and new, colorful swagger with a royal touch of elegance for fall/winter (not to mention some bargains).

Here’s a look at our Top 11 trends: The statement coat.

Toppers of all sorts made news this season — ponchos, capes, maxis and boyfriend styles some in those vivid shades (like one from DKNY). If you have to buy just one new thing, make it a great coat.

Designer collabora2. tions: OK, admit it!

You were one of the people who lined up, waited for, desperately sought the sprightly Missoni for Target collection that crashed a website. And, you worshipped at the temple of H&M when Donatella Versace’s collection hit the store. No shame in ’fessing up and guaranteed there’s more to follow.

ace in the kitchen. The body’s basic need for nutrition and sustenance could be met with basic beans and rice and some tossed greens, or it can be meet with a seven-course meal of escargot-stuffed mushrooms, carbonnades flamandes, cognac shrimp with Beurre Blanc.... Well, you get the picture. Spending a few minutes Sunday night with dinner ideas for the rest of the week may have you streamlining your evenings. One of my tricks is to make a large batch of something on the weekend that can be munched on during the week, like a large pot of stew or gallon of homemade pasta sauce. A little reheat and dinner is served.

to sleeker faux fur vests to well-placed touches of fur on sleeves and collars (as in a Vince sweater), fur was a fashion focus for fall/winter 2011.

Foods for thought. Just 9. as a hobby can provide a retreat, many also find sol-

Downsize everything.

I’ve worked with clients who have begun the process of downsizing their lives.

Many are doing it for green reasons; others are transitioning as empty nesters. A smaller home = a simpler home. When we take trips to our cabin (it is a small 200-square-foot, offgrid retreat) our basic needs are met in a simple way. We have a small PV system that provides some lights, we cook on a camp stove or over the wood stove, water comes with us in 5-gallon jugs, a cooler keeps the food fresh and a sawdust composting toilet handles the other end of business. A week will pass with reading, music, hiking and playing with the dogs. Life at the cabin can exist without TV, cellphones, a giant mortgage, utility bills and a closet full of shoes.

Think about it: People pay money to do what most can do with some basic lifestyle changes. Why is it that people feel so relaxed after one of these vacations? I’ll tell you a secret: It’s the simple and uncomplicated lifestyle that recharges our spirits.

For style and trend pieces, this is an outfit that mixes colors, from JCrew.

Color crazy: In a season that is traditionally neutral, color reigned supreme with loads of bolds, brights (including jeans) and even a heavy dose of pink for winter/fall. And what made it all that much more fun? Color blocking and wearing colors that (some would say) clash — like a J. Crew ensemble, for instance.

Vince sweater in nutmeg has a removable collar made of genuine yak fur, $445 at select Nordstrom stores and nordstrom.com.

The Kate 5.

Middleton factor: Many a fashion pundit credited Kate Middleton for steering trends in more formal, proper direction.

From her wedding dress to — yes — her sheer pantyhose, the Duchess of Cambridge has had a strong influence on the fashion scene.

6.

Grrrrr-animal prints: Lions and tigers and snakes, oh my! In a nod to the exotic, spots, stripes, and skin patterns turned up head-totoe; here, a leopard trench coat from Banana Republic’s “Mad Men” collection.

It’s a boot-iful life: From knee-high ladylike heels to short combat-style stompers, boots are a must-have.

New to the scene, high wedged heels and in a novel twist, work boots (these by Lucky) styled fashionably.

Easy, breezy silhouettes, like this dress at Michael Kors, were showcased by many designers giving gals a languid moment to relax.

Happy hippies: We loved those floppy hats that dominated spring catwalks and cute, easy frocks including the maxi and little floral prints went right along with that groovy ’70s vibe,

here on the runway at Tracy Reese.

Sheer magic: See10. through dresses (this at BCBG), tops and yes, pants raged on spring/summer runways, so layering became a must, and — don’t be shy — underpinnings were showcased.

The white stuff: White 11. was a staple for spring from evening wear to sportswear, a crisp alternative to also popular lingerie shades of nude, beige and blush. Here, a dress from Ralph Lauren’s spring show.

LEGAL NOTICE TRUSTEE'S NOTICE OF SALE Pursuant to O.R.S. 86.705 et seq. and O.R.S. 79.5010, et seq.

Trustee's Sale No. 09-FSS-109402 NOTICE TO BORROWER: YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE UNDERSIGNED IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND THAT ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. Reference is made to that certain Deed of Trust made by, RICHARD C. MENCH, UNMARRIED, as grantor, to HAMMONS & MILLS, ATTORNEYS, as Trustee, in favor of MORGAN STANLEY CREDIT CORPORATION, as beneficiary, dated 7/13/2007, recorded 7/17/2007, under Instrument No. 2007-39379, records of DESCHUTES County, OREGON. The beneficial interest under said Trust Deed and the obligations secured thereby are presently held by Raymond James Bank, FSB. Said Trust Deed encumbers the following described real property situated in said county and state, to-wit: LOT 4 MILL QUARTER, ARIZONA PHASE, CITY OF BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON. The street address or other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 16 SOUTHWEST WALL STREET BEND, OR 97702 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the above street address or other common designation. Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and a notice of default has been recorded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 86.735(3); the default for which the foreclosure is made is grantor's failure to pay when due, the following sums: Amount due as of December 1, 2011 Delinquent Payments from September 01, 2010 13 payments at $3,576.97 each $46,500.61 3 payments at $4,431.89 each $13,295.67 (09-01-10 through 12-01-11) Late Charges: $357.70 Beneficiary Advances: $1,088.00 Suspense Credit: $0.00 TOTAL: $61,241.98 ALSO, if you have failed to pay taxes on the property, provide insurance on the property or pay other senior liens or encumbrances as required in the note and deed of trust, the beneficiary may insist that you do so in order to reinstate your account in good standing. The beneficiary may require as a condition to reinstatement that you provide reliable written evidence that you have paid all senior liens or encumbrances, property taxes, and hazard insurance premiums. These requirements for reinstatement should be confirmed by contacting the undersigned Trustee. By reason of said default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by said trust deed immediately due and payable, said sums being the following: UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF $715,392.00, PLUS interest thereon at 6% per annum from 08/01/10 to 10/1/2011, 6% per annum from 10/1/2011, until paid, together with escrow advances, foreclosure costs, trustee fees, attorney fees, sums required for the protection of the property and additional sums secured by the Deed of Trust. WHEREFORE, notice hereby is given that the undersigned trustee, will on April 5, 2012, at the hour of 11:00 AM, in accord with the standard of time established by ORS 187.110, at FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE DESCHUTES COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 1164 NW BOND STREET, BEND, County of DESCHUTES, State of OREGON, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, the interest in the said described property which the grantor had, or had the power to convey, at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in ORS 86.753 has the right, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, and in addition to paying said sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and trust deed, together with trustee's and attorney's fees not exceeding the amounts provided by said ORS 86.753. In construing this notice, the masculine gender includes the feminine and the neuter, the singular includes the plural, the word "grantor" includes any successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said trust deed, and the words "trustee" and "beneficiary" include their respective successors in interest, if any. Anyone having any objection to the sale on any grounds whatsoever will be afforded an opportunity to be heard as to those objections if they bring a lawsuit to restrain the same. NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS: The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for April 5, 2012. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 3/6/2012 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent you paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from you rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe you current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT YOU MADE OR PREPAID RENT YOU PAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR YOUR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar at 800-452-7636 and ask for lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice.

The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term.

If the uyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. if you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 3/19/2012 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent you paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from you rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe you current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must, move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you.

YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT YOU MADE OR PREPAID RENT YOU PAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR YOUR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER.
