Arts Central nonprofit to exit historic Bend home

BALANCING THE BUDGET

Plan to close $200M gap avoids school cuts, taxes The Bulletin

The Bulletin

SALEM — On their first day back at the Capitol on Wednesday, the state Legislature’s top budget writers said they reached a preliminary deal to balance the budget and fill a $200 million revenue gap.

The plan calls for no cuts to K-12

A home built by Bend’s first mayor, Arthur Goodwillie, will soon be back on the market.

On Wednesday, the Bend City Council terminated its lease with the nonprofit Arts Central for the historic Goodwillie-Allen-Rademacher House downtown.

The home, located in the Mirror Pond parking lot off Brooks Street, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It was built by Goodwillie in the early 1900s and was also the former home of Brooks Scanlon Lumber Co. executive Herb Allen and Bend Memorial Clinic founder Dr. Clyde Rademacher.

It also proposes closing a prison.

SNOWPACK CATCHING UP

Location not working Arts Central moved into the building more than a decade ago and has hosted everything from pottery sales to art classes. But on Wednesday, Arts Central Executive Director Cate O’Hagan said the location wasn’t working well for the nonprofit and felt that it could serve a better purpose.

“We are freely admitting we don’t think it’s used to the extent it possibly could be,” O’Hagan said. “It really is an anchor in that particular part of the city.”

The city owns the house and charges Arts Central $1 a year for rent. The city also paid nearly $13,000 in back taxes the nonprofit owed the county and has been collecting $2,000 a year as repayment. Today, Arts Central still owes the city nearly $5,000.

As part of the termination agreement, the city will forgive that remaining amount if a new tenant is found.

O’Hagan offered to help in that search.

The year’s first manual measurement of the snow piled up along Century Drive confirmed what automated sensors are showing: Last month’s enormous storm deposited a load of frozen water, but there’s room for more.

“We’ve made up a lot in just the last month, which is a good sign,” said Nicholle Kovach, Deschutes Basin engineer for the Natural Resource Conservation Service.

In mid-January, the 140 sensors around the Deschutes River Basin showed a snowpack that was 38 percent of normal for that time of year.

As of Wednesday, the snowpack had rebounded to 69 percent of normal, thanks to a flurry of storms during the second half of last month.

“It has basically doubled in the last two weeks,” said Jon Lea, snow survey supervisor for the NRCS in Portland.

At two of the three sites measured Tuesday by Kovach and Chris Mundy, NRCS district conservationist, numbers were even better. A site near the Wanoga Snoplay Area, at 5,400 feet in elevation, had 93 percent of its average snowpack. A site by Dutchman Flat, at 6,320 feet, had 78 percent of its

Representatives of Bend’s firefighter union will meet Bend officials today to begin negotiations for a new contract that could have long-term budgetary impacts for the city.

The Bend Firefighters Association represents about 70 fire and ambulance personnel. Much of the money that supports those employees comes from the city’s beleaguered general fund, which also pays for police, street maintenance and code enforcement.

Firefighter Association Vice President Patricia Connolly said the city and the union still need to set the ground rules for the contract negotiations.

That includes a decision on whether the talks will be held behind closed doors. She also said it’s too soon to say what new benefits, such as pay raises, the union the will seek during negotiations.

“At the moment we’re still collecting some information,” Connolly said. “Right now things are just in the discussion phase with the city and our body.”

Bend Human Resources Manager Rob DuValle said today’s meeting is largely logistical, and will likely involve setting a schedule for the negotiations. No proposals will be exchanged, he said.

CLAREMONT, Calif. — The dining hall workers had been at Pomona College for years, some even decades. For a few, it was the only job they held since moving to United States.

Then late last year, administrators at the college delivered letters to dozens of the longtime employees asking them to show proof of legal residency, saying that an internal review had turned up problems in their files.

Seventeen workers could not produce documents showing that they were legally able to work in the United States. So on Dec. 2, they lost their jobs.

Now, the campus is deep into a consuming debate over what it means to be a liberal college, with some students, faculty and alumni accusing the administration and the board of directors of betraying the college’s ideals.

Halting viruslike protein may be key to treating Alzheimer’s

By Gina Kolata New York Times News Service

Alzheimer’s disease seems to spread like an infection from brain cell to brain cell, two new studies find. But instead of viruses or bacteria, what is being spread is

a distorted protein known as tau.

The surprising finding answers a longstanding question and has immediate implications for developing treatments, researchers said.

And, they said, they suspect that other degenerative brain diseases,

like Parkinson’s, may spread in the brain in a similar way.

Alzheimer’s researchers have long known that dying, tau-filled cells first emerge in a small area of the brain where memories are made and stored. The disease then

slowly moves outward to larger areas of the brain that involve remembering and reasoning.

But for more than a quarter century they have been unable to decide between two explanations.

10 ways to keep your brain sharp

By Beth Howard AARP The Magazine

Alzheimer’s isn’t inevitable.

Many experts now believe you can prevent or at least delay dementia — even if you have a genetic predisposition. Reducing Alzheimer’s risk factors like obesity, diabetes, smoking and low physical activity by just 25 percent could prevent up to half a million cases of the disease in the United States, according to a recent analysis from the University of California in San Francisco.

Here are 10 new ways you can boost your brain health now.

1. Get moving “If you do only one thing to keep your brain young, exercise,” says Art Kramer, professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Illinois. Higher exercise levels can reduce dementia risk by 30 to 40 percent compared with low activity levels, and physically active people tend to maintain better cognition and memory than inactive people. “They also have substantially lower rates of different forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease,” Kramer says.

Working out helps your hippocampus, the region of the brain involved in memory formation. As you age, your hippocampus shrinks, leading to memory loss. Exercise can reverse this process, research suggests.

How you work up a sweat is up to you, but most experts recommend 150 minutes a week of moderate activity. Even a little bit can help: “In our research as little as 15 minutes of regular exercise three times per week helped maintain the brain,” says Eric Larson, executive director of Group Health Research Institute in Seattle.

2. Pump some iron Older women who participated in a yearlong weighttraining program at the University of British Columbia at Vancouver did 13 percent better on tests of cognitive function than a group of women who did balance and toning exercises. “Resistance training may increase the levels of growth factors in the brain such as IGF1, which nourish and protect nerve cells,” says Teresa Liu-Ambrose, head of the university’s Aging, Mobility, and Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory.

3. Seek out new skills Learning spurs the growth of new brain cells. “When you challenge the brain, you increase the number of brain cells and the number of connections between those cells,”

Tips to improving memory Ask actress Marilu Henner about a lunch date with 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl almost 20 years ago, and she can not only recall the date (June 1, 1993) and the restaurant (Aureole in New York) but also what she ate (the salmon).

Henner is one of a handful of people who have superior autobiographic Thinkstock memory: the ability to remember, in vivid detail, almost every day of her life. If you’re struggling just to recall where you parked your car, here are a few tricks that can help you learn to be more like these memory geniuses.

Rehearse: It’s the simplest way to retain new information, such as the name of a new acquaintance. Repeat the name when you first hear it and then again in the context of conversation, as in “How long have you lived in the neighborhood, Karen?”

Visualize: Create an image or video in your mind incorporating items to remember. Say you are going to 76 Forest Avenue with instructions to take a left on King Street and then a right on Forest Avenue. “Imagine a king hopping on his left leg and then falling to the right into a forest of trees planted in the shape of the numerals 7 and 6,” says Cynthia Green, author of 30 Days to Total Brain Health.

Downsize: Memory champs break up long strings of numbers into shorter units, which they then associate with something easy to recall. For example, your wedding was in 1962 and your first grandchild was born in 1993, so make your debit card pin 6293.

— Beth Howard, AARP The Magazine

says Keith Black, chair of neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. “But it’s not enough to do the things you routinely do — like the daily crossword.

You have to learn new things, like sudoku or a new form of bridge.”

UCLA researchers using MRI scans found that middleaged and older adults with little Internet experience could trigger brain centers that control decision-making and complex reasoning after a week of surfing the net. “Engaging the mind can help older brains maintain healthy functioning,” says Cynthia Green, author of 30 Days to Total Brain Health.

4. Say “Omm” Chronic stress floods your brain with cortisol, which leads to impaired memory. To better understand if easing tension changes your brain, Harvard researchers studied men and women trained in a technique called mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). This form of meditation — which involves focusing one’s attention on one’s breath, sensations and feelings — has been shown to reduce harmful stress hormones. After eight weeks, researchers took MRI scans of participants’ brains that showed the density of gray matter in the hippocampus increased significantly in the MBSR group, compared with a control group.

5. Eat like a Greek A heart-friendly Mediterranean diet — fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts and beans — re-

duced Alzheimer’s risk by 34 to 48 percent in studies conducted

by Columbia University.

“We know that omega-3 fatty acids in fish are very important for maintaining heart health,” says Keith Black of Cedars-Sinai. “We suspect these fats may be equally important for maintaining a healthy brain.”

Data from several large studies suggest that older people who eat the most fruits and vegetables, especially the leafy-green variety, may experience a slower rate of cognitive decline and a lower risk for dementia than meat lovers.

And it may not matter if you get your produce from a bottle instead of a bin. A study from Vanderbilt University found that people who downed three or more servings of fruit or vegetable juice a week had a 76 percent lower risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease than those who drank less than a serving weekly.

6. Spice it up Your brain enjoys spices as much as your taste buds do.

Herbs and spices such as black pepper, cinnamon, oregano, basil, parsley, ginger and vanilla are high in antioxidants, which may help build brainpower. Scientists are particularly intrigued by curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, common in Indian curries. “Indians have lower incidence of Alzheimer’s, and one theory is it’s the curcumin,” says Black. “It bonds to amyloid plaques that accumulate in the brains of people with the disease.” Animal research

shows curcumin reduces amyloid plaques and lowers inflammation levels. A study in humans also found those who ate curried foods frequently had higher scores on standard cognition tests.

7. Find your purpose Discovering your mission in life can help you stay sharp, according to a Rush University Medical Center study of more than 950 older adults.

Participants who approached life with clear intentions and goals at the start of the study were less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease over the following seven years, researchers found.

8. Get a (social) life Who needs friends? You do!

Having multiple social networks helps lower dementia risk, a 15-year study of older people from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute shows. A rich social life may protect against dementia by providing emotional and mental stimulation, says Laura Fratiglioni, director of the institute’s Aging Research Center. Other studies yield similar conclusions: Subjects in a University of Michigan study did better on tests of short-term memory after just 10 minutes of conversation with another person.

9. Reduce your risks Chronic health conditions like diabetes, obesity and hypertension are often associated with dementia. Diabetes, for example, roughly doubles the risk for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Controlling these risk factors can slow the tide.

“We’ve estimated that in people with mild cognitive impairment — an intermediate state between normal cognitive aging and dementia — good control of diabetes can delay the onset of dementia by several years,” says Fratiglioni.

That means following doctor’s orders regarding diet and exercise and taking prescribed medications on schedule.

10. Check vitamin deficiencies Older adults don’t always get all the nutrients they need from foods, because of declines in digestive acids or because their medications interfere with absorption. That vitamin deficit — particularly vitamin B12 — can also affect brain vitality, research from Rush University Medical Center shows. Older adults at risk of vitamin B12 deficiencies had smaller brains and scored lowest on tests measuring thinking, reasoning and memory, researchers found.

It’s Thursday, Feb. 2, the 33rd day of 2012. There are 333 days left in the year.

DRIVING SAFETY

NEWS Q&A

Coming soon: Heavier trucks on the highway? Q:

By Gordon Dickson

A truck driver weighs his load at Love’s in Fort Worth, Texas.

McClatchy Newspapers

FORT WORTH, Texas — Drivers could share the highways with much heavier trucks if Congress decides that the efficiencies of larger loads trump concerns about road damage and safety.

The Safe and Efficient Transportation Act would raise the maximum weight for commercial trucks that routinely travel on highways to 97,000 pounds in most states.

The current threshold in most places is 80,000 pounds unless the truck has a permit to be overweight.

Supporters of the proposal, including many companies that ship household goods in tractor-trailers, argue that it would reduce traffic, decrease fuel use and ultimately keep prices lower for consumers.

About 200 companies have banded together to support the bill as the Coalition for Transportation Productivity — including Hershey, Home Depot and MillerCoors.

Critics say heavier trucks would severely damage roads

Max Faulkner Fort Worth Star-Telegram

and especially bridges, many of which are crumbling and need repairs that the nation can’t afford.

The review also concluded that, nearly five years after a Minneapolis bridge collapse killed 13 people and injured 145, bridge conditions are arguably worse.

Driving safety is also a concern. Bill opponents say a heavier truck needs 25 percent more room to stop. In 2010, crashes involving large trucks killed 3,675 people, up about 9 percent from the year before, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s annual report.

Supporters of the bill, however, say the increased limit would apply only to trucks that have a sixth axle. They say such extra equipment gives the heavier trucks essentially the same braking capacity as an 80,000-pound truck with five axles.

While the safety effects can be debated, there is no denying the lack of funds for repairing the nation’s aging bridges.

The Untied States has a $70.9 billion backlog of bridge work, and heavier trucks could make the situation much worse, said Andrew Herrmann, president of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Panetta sets end to Afghan combat role for U.S. in 2013

By Elisabeth Bumiller New York Times News Service

BRUSSELS — In a milestone toward ending a decade of war in Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Wednesday that U.S. forces would step back from a combat role there as early as mid-2013, more than a year before all U.S. troops are scheduled to come home.

Panetta cast the decision as an orderly step in a withdrawal process long planned by the United States and its allies, but his comments were the first time that the U.S. had put a date on stepping back from its central role in the war.

The defense secretary porters on his plane on his way offered the withdrawal of the to a NATO meeting in Brussels, United States from Iraq as a

model. U.S. troops there eventually pulled back to large bases and left the bulk of the fighting to the Iraqis.

At the same time, Panetta said the NATO discussions would also focus on a potential downsizing of Afghan security forces from 350,000 troops, largely because of the expense of maintaining such a large army. The U.S. and other NATO countries support those forces at a cost of around $6 billion a year, but financial crises in Europe are causing countries to balk at the bill.

“The funding is going to largely determine the kind of force we can sustain in the future,” Panetta said.

Many blame military as 73 die in Egypt soccer riot

By David D. Kirkpatrick New York Times News Service

CAIRO — At least 73 people were killed in a brawl between rival groups of soccer fans after a match in the city of Port Said on Wednesday, the bloodiest outbreak of lawlessness since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak one year ago.

The riot refocused attention on the failure of the transitional government to re-establish a sense of order and stability in the streets and threatened to provoke a new crisis for Egypt’s halting political transition. The deadliest soccer riot anywhere in more than 15 years, it also illuminated the potential for savagery among the organized groups of diehard fans known here as ultras who have added a volatile element to the street protests since Mubarak’s exit.

Leading members of the newly elected Parliament accused the military-led government of deliberately allowing the violence to escalate to justify its expansive police powers and undermine the revolution.

Lawmakers demanded highlevel resignations and threatened a vote of no confidence in the military-appointed Cabinet, and Parliament scheduled an emergency session on Thursday to discuss the episode.

“The reason for this tragedy is the deliberate neglect and absence of the military and the police,” said Essam el Erian, a senior lawmaker from the

Islamic militants admit plan to bomb London Stock Exchange New York Times News Service LONDON — Four Islamic militants, all British citizens, admitted involvement Wednesday in a conspiracy inspired by al-Qaida to place a bomb in the toilets of the London Stock Exchange, with the hope that the multistory building would catch fire. Five other men involved in a wider conspiracy pleaded guilty to lesser charges.

Prosecutors said the stock exchange plot was foiled by the arrests of the nine men, all with family origins in Bangladesh or Pakistan, in December 2010 at their homes in London, Cardiff and the Midlands town of Stoke-onTrent. They said the men’s plans were discovered after undercover counterterrorism officers tailed them as they surveyed London tourist attractions and tracked their conversations through secret electronic monitoring devices planted in their homes, cars and computers.

Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the U.S. Embassy were among the targets scouted or considered by the men, the court was told.

Egyptian soccer fans clash with riot police Wednesday in Port Said, Egypt, following a match between rivals El Masry of Port Said and Al Ahly of Cairo. At least 73 people were killed after fans flooded the field seconds after the match was over, Egypt’s Health ministry said.

Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, which leads the chamber.

He accused security forces of “a plot against democratic transition” and of “a revenge against us” for seeking to end the so-called emergency law allowing extralegal detention.

“This will not pass without punishment, a thousand punishments,” he warned.

Politicians, fans and Egyptian soccer officials all faulted the police for failing to conduct the standard gate searches to prevent fans from bringing knives, clubs or other weapons into the match.

The first flurries of violence,

by all accounts, occurred about midway through the match between the historical rivals El Masry of Port Said and Al Ahly of Cairo. The visiting Ahly fans displayed a sign questioning the virility of Port Said fans, and the game was halted temporarily because of scuffles in the stands.

After El Masry came from behind to win in a 3-1 upset, its fans stormed the field, chasing Al Ahly’s players back to their locker room and attacking its fans with knives, clubs and stones. The police around the stadium appeared unable or unwilling to control the violence.

Washington state Senate passes gay marriage bill

By William Yardley New York Times News Service

SEATTLE — Washington appeared almost certain to become the seventh state to allow same-sex marriage after the state Senate voted late Wednesday for a measure that would allow gay and lesbian couples to marry beginning this summer.

Supporters had considered the Senate to be the more challenging chamber in which to pass the bill, but it was approved easily, by a vote of 28-21, after less than 90 minutes of debate. The measure now moves to the House, where it has wide support and could be voted on as soon as next week. Gov. Christine Gregoire has urged the bill’s approval. The governor is a Democrat, and both legislative chambers are controlled

by Democrats.

“Regardless of how you vote on this bill, an invitation will be in the mail,” Sen. Ed Murray of Seattle, the prime sponsor in the Senate, said in his final remarks before the vote. Murray, who is gay, has noted many times publicly that he and his longtime partner hope to marry in their home state.

The measure, echoing one passed in New York last June, includes language assuring religious groups that they

would not be required to marry same-sex couples or allow them to marry in their facilities. Washington would join New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont and Iowa as states where same-sex couples can marry. Washington, D.C., also allows same-sex marriage.

Washington has steadily expanded rights for gay and lesbian couples since 2006, when it approved domestic partnerships. In 2009, it passed a so-called everythingbut-marriage bill, which was challenged in a public referendum and upheld by voters.

Opponents of the marriage bill say they will challenge it in a referendum this fall. The Roman Catholic Church is among the opponents.

One of the leading opponents, Sen. Dan Swecker, a Republican, said he worried that approving same-sex marriage would “create a hostile environment for those of us who believe in traditional marriage.”

Speaking in favor, Sen. Steve Litzow, a Republican of Mercer Island, noted the many benefits of marriage but also its challenges.

“We cannot guarantee the outcome of that pursuit,” he said. “The legislation’s good, but it’s not that good.”

Secrecy shrouds super PAC contributors in latest filings

By Nicholas Confessore and Michael Luo New York Times News Service

Newly disclosed details of the millions of dollars flowing into political groups are highlighting not just the scale of donations from corporation and unions but also the secrecy surrounding super PACs seeking to influence the presidential race.

Some of the money came from well-established concerns, like Alpha Natural Resources, one of the country’s largest coal companies, which is backing Republican-aligned American Crossroads, or from the Service Employees International Union, a powerful union allied with Democrats, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.

Some came from companies closely identified with prominent industrialists or financiers, like Contran, a holding company controlled by Texas billionaire Harold Simmons, a patron of a number of conservative groups and candidates, and Blue Ridge Capital, a New York hedge fund founded by wealthy investor John Griffin, a supporter of Mitt Romney.

But some checks came from sources obscured from public view, like a $250,000 contribution to a super PAC backing Romney from a company with a post office box for a headquarters and no known employees.

President Barack Obama continues to outraise all of the candidates seeking the Republican nomination by large margins when it comes to money that goes directly into campaign coffers. But the money race is increasingly focused on outside groups that are legally not allowed to coordinate directly with cam-

paigns but pay for advertising and other activities that support particular candidates.

Much of the money disclosed this week went to independent groups supporting Republicans, giving them an enormous money advantage over similar Democratic groups in the first phase of the 2012 election cycle. Such donations were made possible by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010 and subsequent court rulings, which opened the door to unlimited corporate and union contributions to political committees and made it possible to pool that money with unlimited contributions from wealthy individuals.

But the full scope of such giving is impossible to ascertain from federal campaign filings: Much of the money raised by the leading Republican and Democratic independent groups went into affiliated nonprofit organizations that are more restricted in how they can spend the money but do not have to disclose their donors.

The contributions have already helped the Republican Party’s elite donor class, who increasingly favor Romney, regain some control over the party’s nominating process.

Many of the party’s top givers sent checks to Restore Our Future, the pro-Romney group, underwriting an advertising campaign that battered Romney’s Republican rivals even as Romney himself struggled to win the trust of the party’s restive conservative base.

Romney also got a major boost from some of the Republican Party’s top corporate lobbyists, who raised more than $1 million in checks for Romney’s campaign during the last three months of 2011.

Snowpack

Romney and Paul: a strategic alliance between establishment and outsider

Mitt Romney and Ron Paul shake hands in front of Newt Gingrich before the Jan. 19 debate in Charleston, S.C. The pair became friends in 2008.

The Washington Post

RENO, Nev. — The remaining candidates in the winnowed Republican presidential field are attacking one another with abandon, with each day bringing fresh headlines of accusations and outrage.

But Mitt Romney and Ron Paul haven’t laid a hand on each other. They never do.

Despite deep differences on a range of issues, Romney and Paul became personal friends in 2008, the last time both ran for president. So did their wives, Ann and Carol. The former Massachusetts governor compliments the Texas congressman during debates, praising Paul’s religious faith during the last one, in Jacksonville, Fla. Immediately afterward, as is often the case, the Pauls and the Romneys gravitated toward each other to say hello.

The Romney-Paul alliance is more than a curious connection. It is now a strategic partnership: for Paul, an opportunity to gain a seat at the table if his long-shot bid for the presidency fails; and for Romney, a chance to gain support from one of the most vibrant subgroups within the Republican Party.

“It would be very foolish for anybody in the Republican Party to dismiss a very real constituency,” one senior Republican aide in Washington familiar with both camps said said. “Ron Paul plays a very valuable part in the process and brings a lot of voters toward the Republican Party and ultimately into the voting booth, and that’s something that can’t be ignored.”

To ensure they are heard — not just now but after election day — Paul and his followers are working to gain a permanent foothold in the Republican Party nationwide. One state at a time, Paul’s followers are seating themselves at county committee meetings, standing for election as state officers and convention delegates, all to make sure that Paul’s libertarian vision is taken into account. The goal is a lasting voice for an army of outsiders who have long felt ignored but see the nation headed to ruin if that doesn’t change.

That is just fine with the Romney campaign, which would be happy to bring Paul’s constituency — perhaps the most intense and loyal in the

Romney’s ‘poor’ quote seized on by critics MINNEAPOLIS — Obsessive attention to detail suffuses Mitt Romney’s candidacy for president, from the number of times staff members check the microphones at his rallies to their relentless scouring of Twitter.

But Romney’s aides cannot always bring that level of discipline to one crucial aspect of the campaign — their candidate’s seemingly endless ability to utter remarks that, to the delight of his critics, sail onto political blogs, YouTube and Twitter.

On Wednesday in an interview with CNN, Romney said, “I’m not concerned about the very poor,” a comment that ricocheted around the Web and cable news channels, and which Romney felt the need to further clarify with reporters as he flew to Minnesota.

The comment captivated the political chatter, at least for the day, because it seemed to reinforce what might be his ri-

country — into the fold.

Romney aides are “quietly in touch with Ron Paul,” according to a Republican adviser who is in touch with the Romney campaign and requested anonymity to discuss the campaign’s internal thinking.

The Paul and Romney campaigns have “coordinated” on minor things, the adviser said (even on small details, such as staggering the timing of each candidate’s appearance on television the night of the New Hampshire primary for maximum effect).

One advantage for Romney in Paul’s continued presence in the race is to keep the GOP field fractured. But there is also a growing recognition that Paul plans to stay in the race over

vals’ most potent line of attack against him: That Romney, with a net worth estimated at $200 million, is out of touch with struggling Americans.

Taking in the full context of his remarks, as Romney urged reporters to do, his statement seems more benign: “I’m not concerned about the very poor.

We have a safety net there. If it needs a repair, I’ll fix it. I’m not concerned about the very rich — they’re doing just fine.”

He was most concerned about the middle class, he said.

But for a campaign that has been accused of taking President Barack Obama’s words out of context, the remark immediately became cataloged in a growing list of awkward comments by Romney, including a remark that his speaking fees last year of $374,327 were “not very much” and his line that “corporations are people.”

— New York Times News Service

the long term anyway — and that accommodating him and his supporters could help unify the Republican electorate in the fall election against President Barack Obama.

“Ron Paul wants a presence at the convention,” the adviser said — and Romney, if he is the nominee, would grant it.

What Paul and his supporters would demand, and what Romney would offer, is the subject of some speculation. One Paul adviser who requested anonymity to speak freely said a prime-time speaking slot for Paul and for his son, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., are obvious goals.

On the policy front, Paul’s top priorities are reforming the Federal Reserve and reducing federal spending. So a prom-

ise to audit the Fed, and to tackle deficit reduction seriously, could appease Paul and his supporters, the adviser said.

Less likely are concessions on foreign policy, where Paul’s non-interventionist stand is at odds with Romney and most other Republicans.

For Paul’s campaign, playing the inside-outside game has required nudging activists into the party system even as he and they remain wary of it.

In Reno, regional coordinator Wayne Terhune used a slide show on a recent weeknight to teach volunteers how to participate in a Republican precinct meeting to help Paul win delegates during the state’s upcoming caucuses on Feb. 4.

He has tutored packed rooms at Denny’s as well as smaller crowds of followers in the Paul campaign’s Reno headquarters in a low-slung office building alongside the airport.

In a tiny conference room with a water cooler and two dogs on the floor, Terhune instructed volunteers not to allow paper ballots out of their sight after caucus votes take place — but also to dress neatly and inconspicuously, so that fellow Republicans wouldn’t be disinclined to elect them as caucus delegates.

A common refrain is to “cover your tattoos and cut your hair,” said Paul’s campaign manager, Jesse Benton, who often tells coordinators to “dress for business, because we mean business.”

“You can dress in black and stand on the hill and smash the state and influence nobody, or you can realize the dynamics and the environment and get involved in the most pragmatic way to win minds and win votes and influence change,” Benton said. “That’s what we’re trying to do.”

Budget Continued from A1 Richardson wrote he heard from constituents who suggested that “state agencies have too many middle managers, who cost much and do little to actually accomplish the mission of the agencies that employ them.”

Specific state agencies or positions were not identified.

“These are good people, but their employment positions are obsolete and can no longer be afforded,” Richardson wrote.

Kitzhaber supportive The rest of the Legislature and the governor will weigh in on the budget before it is finalized. The governor has been part of the process and “supports the framework” of the budget, said Tim Raphael, a spokesman for the governor. But, Raphael said, finding $25 million worth of cuts in state personnel costs will be a challenge.

“It will be difficult, but the governor’s budget team is sharpening their pencil to find additional savings,” Raphael said.

The budget plan also includes a nearly 6 percent reduction to the state’s longterm care program, saving about $13.4 million. Community colleges across the board would see an approximate 3.5 percent cut to their budgets.

And the 440-bed Santiam Correctional Institution, a minimum-security prison in Salem, would be shuttered.

The inmates would not be released early, but moved to other prisons, which would have to add emergency bunks, according to Jen Black, a spokeswoman with the Department of Corrections.

Alzheimer’s

Firefighters

Continued from A1 The spread may mean that the disease is transmitted from neuron to neuron, perhaps along the paths nerve cells use to communicate with one another. Or it could simply mean that some brain areas are more resilient than others and so resist the disease longer.

The new studies provide an answer. And they indicate it may be possible to bring a patient’s Alzheimer’s disease to an abrupt halt very early in its course by preventing this cellto-cell transmission, perhaps with an antibody that blocks tau.

The studies, done independently by researchers at Columbia and Harvard universities, involved genetically engineered mice that could make abnormal human tau proteins, but predominantly in the entorhinal cortex (pronounced en-toh-RYE-nal), a sliver of tissue behind the ears, toward the middle of the brain, where cells first start dying in Alzheimer’s disease.

As expected, tau showed up there. And, as expected, entorhinal cortex cells in the animals started dying, filled with tangled, spaghettilike strands of tau.

Over the next two years, the cell death and destruction spread outward to other cells that are part of the same nerve cell network. Since those other cells could not make human tau, the only way they could get the protein was by transmission from nerve cell to nerve cell.

And that, said Dr. Sam Gandy, associate director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, was “very unexpected, very intriguing.”

Continued from A1 Over the past two years, city officials have been looking for ways to support police and firefighters without sacrificing other services. It even formed a committee to generate ideas.

When the Bend City Council adopted its biennial budget last June, it agreed to use a large portion of the fire department’s reserves during the next two years in order to avoid job cuts. Fire Chief Larry Huhn, meanwhile, has tried to reduce the amount of overtime pay his department accrues.

The fire department is expected to deplete its reserves over the next several years even though the city’s property tax revenues have topped expectations. Huhn and others have said the continued funding shortfall is particularly worrisome because it limits his department’s staffing, leading to slower responses to emergencies.

Bend Mayor Jeff Eager has said he’d like to rein in the city’s personnel costs.

During budget talks last year, he pushed to have those ever-growing expenditures linked to city revenues, which were largely stagnant by comparison.

Eager said he understands that the firefighters associa-

The Columbia University team: Li Liu, Dr. Scott Small and Karen Duff. A pair of studies found that Alzheimer’s disease seems to spread like an infection from brain cell to brain cell.

Although the studies were in mice, not people, researchers say they expect that the same phenomenon occurs in humans because the mice had a human tau gene and the progressive wave of cell death matched what they see in people with Alzheimer’s disease.

One study, by Karen Duff and Dr. Scott Small and their colleagues at the Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer’s Disease and the Aging Brain at Columbia University, was published Wednesday in the journal PLoS One. The other,

by Dr. Bradley Hyman, director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, and his colleagues, is in the journal Neuron.

Both groups of researchers were inspired by the many observations over the years that Alzheimer’s starts in the entorhinal cortex and spreads.

But, said Small, “What do we mean by ‘spreads?’ ” Researchers knew that something sets off Alzheimer’s disease; the most likely candi-

date is a protein known as beta amyloid, which accumulates in the brain of Alzheimer’s patients, forming hard, barnaclelike plaques.

But beta amyloid is very different from tau. It is secreted and clumps outside cells. Although researchers have looked, they have never seen evidence that amyloid spreads from cell to cell in a network.

But amyloid creates what amounts to a bad neighborhood in memory regions of the brain. Then tau comes in — some researchers call it “the executioner” — piling up inside cells and killing them.

If some cells take longer than others to succumb to the bad neighborhood, that would explain the spread of the disease in the brain, and there would be no need to blame something odd, like the spread of tau from cell to cell.

Studies in humans, though, could not determine whether that hypothesis was correct.

They involved autopsy studies and brain imaging studies and

were “indirect and inconclusive,” Small said.

The solution came when science advanced enough for researchers to develop genetically engineered mice that expressed abnormal human tau, but only in their entorhinal cortexes. Those mice, said John Hardy, an Alzheimer’s researcher at University College London who was not involved in either of the new studies, offered “the cleanest” way to get an answer.

There is another advantage, too, Hyman said. The mice give him a tool to test ways to block tau’s spread — and that, he added, “is one of the things we’re excited about.”

Now, Hardy said, with the mouse studies, the issue of a bad neighborhood is settled.

“The answer for tau in Alzheimer’s disease is that isn’t possible,’” he said.

“That is what is different between these papers and all the others,” Hardy said. “It isn’t a bad neighborhood. It is contagion from one neuron to another.”

any significant storms on the horizon.

“We are pretty much looking dry until next Wednesday,” said Diana Hayden, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pendleton.

A high pressure ridge is pushing moisture northward all the way to Canada, Hayden said. As the ridge increases, the snow level will rise.

This weekend she said it will be at about 7,000 feet, above all the sites surveyed on Century Drive.

Deer Ridge Correctional Institution’s minimum-security wing could receive some displaced prisoners, which would require the addition of 60 emergency bunks. Meanwhile, the cuts could further delay the opening of Deer Ridge’s medium-security wing, Black said.

The savings associated with closing the prison would equal about $1.6 million for the state the first year, with an approximate $8.5 million in the 2013-14 budget cycle.

Other proposals include cuts to a Department of Human Services domestic violence program, which would save $2.2 million, and prison alcohol and drug treatment programs, which would save a further $1 million.

The state’s overall general and lottery fund budget is about $14.6 billion. At the end of the last legislative session, lawmakers had a $460 million reserve. But the two most recent economic forecasts showed a drop in state revenue of about $300 million more than lawmakers anticipated, leaving them with a $200 million hole to fill. The next economic forecast will be delivered on Feb. 8.

tion already has made several concessions to save the city money, including a voluntary switch to a high deductible health insurance plan and an agreement not to take a pay raise this year. Even so, he said that doesn’t change the financial reality of the city.

“I recognize and appreciate the concessions the firefighters have made over the past couple years, but unfortunately the economy and the budget have not improved markedly since those concessions were made,” Eager said. “I’m hopeful that the city and the firefighters union can reach an agreement that recognizes the strains within the city’s budget and the generally difficult economy in Bend right now.”

He added that he hopes the negotiations remain open because he believes citizens have a “right to know” what happens during discussions that determine how their dollars are being used.

The current contract with the Bend Firefighters Association expires on June 30.

If the city and union can’t come to an agreement, an arbitrator will step in. The city’s other two unions, including the Bend Police Association, are not scheduled for contract negotiations until 2013.

Copy, paste, caught: Plagiarists beware

Pomona Continued from A1 The renewed discussion over immigration and lowwage workers has animated class discussions, late-night dorm conversations and furious back and forth on alumni Listservs. Some alumni are now boycotting donating to the college, while some students are considering discouraging prospective freshmen from enrolling.

For the past two years, many of the dining hall workers had been organizing to form a union, but the efforts stalled amid negotiations with the administration. Many on campus believe that the administration began looking into the employees’ work authorization as a way to thwart the union effort, an accusation the college president, David Oxtoby, has repeatedly denied. But that has done little to quell questions and anger among the fired workers and many who support their efforts to unionize.

“We were here for a very long time, and there was never a complaint,” said Christian Torres, a 25-year-old cook who had worked at the college for six years. “But now all of the sudden we were suspect, and they didn’t want us to work here anymore.”

Torres, who still greets dozens of people on campus by first name, had been one of the primary leaders of the effort to create a union until he lost his job in December.

‘An explosive issue’ Oxtoby said that his office received a “specific, credible complaint” from an employee in early 2011 about the college’s hiring policies. Because the complaint included accusations against his own administration’s policies, he asked the board of trustees to investigate.

For months, officials said, lawyers from the law firm Sidley Austin combed through the university’s records and met with administrators. By the time the investigation was complete, the law firm had identified deficiencies in the files of 84 employees, including dining hall and maintenance workers as well as pro-

Christian Torres, a 25-year-old cook, worked at Pomona College for six years until he lost his job along with 16 others on Dec. 2. Torres had led an effort to create a union.

fessors and students working for the college. Each employee received the same letter asking for documents to re-verify their work status. Of the 17 employees who ultimately lost their job, 16 were dining hall workers.

Oxtoby said that when he heard the results he “knew immediately this would be an explosive issue.”

“This is a very sensitive issue especially in Southern California and many of our students and faculty are immigrants themselves or are descendants of immigrants,” he said.

Still, he said, he had no doubt that the workers would need to leave the college.

“The law is very unforgiving,” Oxtoby said, “and unfortunately we have to obey the law even though it really hurt the community.”

The idea that the college had mounted the effort to stop the union drive was the opposite of the truth, he said.

“We’ve been trying to improve the relationship with workers for some time, and this has been a big setback,” Oxtoby said. “Rationally, it would have not made strategic sense.”

Oxtoby and the college’s trustees repeatedly said that there was no choice but to fire the workers. In a letter from the law firm, lawyers for the

college said that the college would have left itself open to investigation and punishment from federal immigration authorities had it not fully examined the employment files.

Pomona is part of a consortium of seven colleges whose campuses intertwine here. In December, just a day before the Pomona workers would be fired, a human resources officer at Scripps College, one of the other members of the consortium, called seven employees there asking them to complete a new work authorization form.

The next day, the Scripps president, Lori Bettison-Varga, sent an email to students and staff explaining that “as soon as the calls came to the attention of the President’s Office, they were halted.” Further, she said that employment forms were stored off campus, and added, “There is no reason for any further questions or actions to be pursued.”

A spokeswoman for the college said that the human resources official was not acting on any complaint.

That email only prompted more anger and suspicion among those involved at Pomona, who argued that Scripps showed that the college could have taken less-aggressive measures.

Not the first controversy While the investigation of the workers’ immigration records has generated the most controversy, it was hardly the first time that students vocally criticized the administration’s treatment of the people who served their food each day.

Months before, students had complained that renewed enforcement of a rule barring dining hall employees from talking to students in the cafeteria during their breaks was a way to stop any union effort.

“We’re told that we are a community, that everyone on campus matters, but that’s really not what we see now,” said Isabel Juarez, a junior who participated in a hunger fast to demand that Oxtoby meet with workers in November.

Juarez emigrated to Chicago with her parents from Guatemala when she was a teenager and draws parallels between her parents’ struggles in the United States and the workers’ troubles.

“You contrast this with the way students are treated here, where we really get everything,” she said. “These are the people who serve us every day and they are just asserting their rights — we would be outraged if we were treated that way.”

LOS ANGELES — The student’s admissions essay for Boston University’s MBA program was about persevering in the business world.

“I have worked for organizations in which the culture has been open and nurturing, and for others that have been elitist. In the latter case, arrogance becomes pervasive, straining external partnerships.”

Another applicant’s essay for UCLA’s Anderson School of Management was about his father. He “worked for organizations in which the culture has been open and nurturing, and for others that have been elitist. In the latter case, arrogance becomes pervasive, straining external partnerships.”

Sound familiar? The Boston University student’s essay was written in 2003 and had been posted at businessweek.com. The UCLA applicant was rejected this year — for plagiarism.

The detection of such wholesale cheating in college applications is on the rise due to the use of Turnitin for Admissions, an anti-plagiarism database service that compares student essays to an immense archive of other writings. Around the country, more than 100 colleges and universities have adopted it, mainly in graduate divisions, although Stanford University is among the dozen schools starting to use it for freshman applicants this year.

That growth highlights the search for authenticity in college admissions at a time when the Internet offers huge amounts of tempting free material, increasing numbers of private coaches sell admissions advice, and online companies peddle pre-written essays. In addition, the larger numbers of applications from overseas have raised concerns about cheating that may be difficult for U.S. schools to discover unaided.

“The more we can nip unethical behavior in the bud, the better,” said Andrew Ainslie, a senior associate dean at UCLA Anderson. “It seems to us nobody ought to be able to buy their way into a business school.”

In the school’s first review of essays from potential MBA candidates this year, Turnitin found significant plagiarism — beyond borrowing a phrase here and there — in a dozen of the 870 applications, Ainslie said. All 12 were rejected.

Turnitin — as in, “turn it in” — began in the 1990s and became a popular tool at high schools and colleges to help detect copying in academic term papers and research by scanning for similarities in phrases from among billions of Web pages, books and periodicals.

Two years ago, the Oakland, Calif.-based firm developed a service for admissions decisions, allowing large numbers of essays to be reviewed quickly and creating a database of students’ essays. The service shows sections of essays next to the possible source and calculates a percentage of possibly copied material. It is left up to schools to determine whether the plagiarism was minor, accidental or serious enough to reject the applicant.

“If you are a very selective institution, or a very prestigious institution, and you have a huge number of people vying for just a couple of slots, admissions people want to make sure they have all the information to make the fair decision,” said Jeff Lorton, Turnitin’s product and business development manager.

Internal testing of the database, using past essays, showed plagiarism ranging from about 3 percent to 20 percent of applicants, Lorton said.

Among current Turnitin users are some graduate schools at Johns Hopkins, Brandeis, Northeastern and Iowa State.

IN BRIEF Advanced Energy income is down Advanced Energy Industries, which owns a solar-inverter manufacturing factory in Bend, reported companywide net income for last year of $36.3 million, compared with $71.2 million in 2010, according to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Based in Fort Collins, Colo., Advanced Energy makes inverters — devices that, essentially, convert the sun’s energy into the electricity used in buildings — in Bend and Fort Collins. As of mid-November it employed about 1,500 workers worldwide.

In the fourth quarter, Advanced Energy incurred $4.2 million in restructuring costs, as it consolidated space, cut jobs and realigned manufacturing.

The company announced layoffs at the Bend plant, formerly known as PV Powered, in December, closed some warehouses in Fort Collins and consolidated others, according to its fourth-quarter earnings presentation.

It’s also moving manufacturing of sub-assembly components to its plant in China.

Advanced Energy expects to incur $4 million to $8 million in additional restructuring costs in the future and about $20 million in annual savings.

Its stock closed at $11.04 a share Wednesday, according to Nasdaq listings. In the last year, it reached a high of $16.83 a share March 4 and a low of $8.01 per share Oct. 3.

Facebook is aiming for a debut that would value it at between $75 billion and $100 billion.

At the top end of the range, Facebook would be far bigger than many established U.S. companies, including Ama-

zon, Caterpillar, Kraft Foods, Goldman Sachs and Ford Motor. Only 26 companies in the Standard & Poor’s index of 500 stocks have a market value north of $100 billion.

Already, Facebook is a formidable moneymaker. The company, which mainly sells advertising and virtual goods, recorded revenue of $3.71 billion in 2011, an 88 percent increase from the previous year. According to its filing, Facebook posted a profit of $1

“Facebook will have more traffic than anyone else, and they’ll have more data than anyone else,” said Kevin Landis, the portfolio manager of Firsthand Technology Value Fund, which owns shares in the privately held company.

“So, unless they are impervious to learning how to monetize that data, they should be the most valuable property on the Internet, eventually.”

Pace of growth quickens, bolstering global economy

By Shobhana Chandra Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Manufacturing grew in January at the fastest pace in seven months, adding to signs of a global pickup from Germany to China.

The Institute for Supply Management’s index climbed to 54.1, from 53.1 in December, the Tempe, Ariz.-based group’s report showed Wednesday.

Figures greater than 50 signal expansion. Other reports showed construction spending increased at the fastest pace

in four months and companies added 170,000 workers to payrolls in January.

Stocks rose on optimism the factory reports show the world economy is withstanding fallout from Europe’s debt crisis. Production, led by inventory rebuilding at the end of 2011, is poised to keep expanding as the need to update equipment drives orders at companies like Caterpillar and demand for cars rises.

U.S. “manufacturing growth points to an acceleration in the economy,” said

Conrad DeQuadros, a senior economist at RDQ Economics in New York. “China is weathering weaker activity in Europe quite well.”

Factory indexes in China improved last month as the world’s second-biggest economy withstood exports weakened

by Europe’s crisis. The official purchasing managers’ index increased to 50.5, from 50.3 in December. The data may have been distorted by a weeklong holiday.

But as far as Nielsen ratings were concerned, four of the shows that week weren’t “Good Morning America” at all. They were labeled “special” programming by ABC, which told Nielsen that the shows would be called “Good Morning Amer.”

ABC made the switch so that the final week of the year — typically the lowest-rated of the year because of the holidays — would be ignored in the national ratings. The change allowed the network to claim — and it did — that “Good Morning America” finished the year closer to NBC’s “Today”

CLOSE $33.778 CHANGE +$0.545

to start brewery

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

For Old Mill Brew Wërks, progress is brewing.

The Bend company has existed as a pub in the Old Mill District since 2010, serving beers produced at Bend’s Silver Moon Brewing, according to The Bulletin’s archives.

Last month, Old Mill Brew Wërks’ owners sold the pub to focus exclusively on starting their own brewery, spending upward of $200,000.

“We’re a little nervous,” co-owner David Love said.

“It should be fun.”

Brew Wërks’ evolution continues the local brewing scene’s development.

So far, 12 breweries call Central Oregon home, and at least six more are on the way.

In January, Brew Wërks secured its license to brew and sell beer from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. Also last month, Love confirmed that Michael McMahon from Langley Brewing in Langley, Wash., will move to Bend and work as Brew Wërks’ head brewer.

If all goes right, in March the company will start renovating the northeast Bend building 10 Barrel Brewing Co. has used to make beer for the past four years.

show than it had in 16 years.

This is the kind of programming sleight of hand that executives seize on as they seek to gain every possible edge in the television ratings game, at a time when

each tenth of a point or two enhances their standing in the nightly ratings and the ability to pitch to advertisers who spend billions of dollars a year.

Although ratings deter-

mine how the billions of ad dollars a year are spent on television, these tactics are more about bragging rights than money.

The tricks themselves are familiar to most in the business: Smart commercial buyers know when the ratings are being spun for a better story in the media or a claim in a print ad, and they insist on paying for the real ratings, not the artificially enhanced versions.

Labeling a program a special is just one technique.

Networks typically “special out” a show when they expect it to fare poorly, against the Super Bowl, for example.

Others strategies include front-loading national commercials early in a show and extending the program lengths for hit shows a minute or two into the following hour.

3 former Credit Suisse traders are charged in scheme

By Peter Lattman and Peter Eavis New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — The government charged three former Credit Suisse traders Wednesday with inflating the value of mortgage bonds as the housing market collapsed, a rare criminal prosecution of Wall Street executives for their conduct during the financial crisis.

Federal prosecutors contend they deployed the scheme to increase their year-end bonuses.

The charges, involving traders in New York and London, come just a week after President Barack Obama pledged in his State of the Union address to escalate investigations of banks and other financial firms and “help turn the page on an era of recklessness that hurt so many Americans.”

Two of the Credit Suisse traders, David Higgs and Salmaan Siddiqui, pleaded guilty to mismarking their positions to avoid losses at the end of 2007, just as the housing market was deteriorating. Both are cooperating with the investigation.

The third man charged, Kareem Serageldin, their boss, headed a group that traded mortgage-backed securities.

By Ken Bensinger Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Stanford University alumnus Ezra Callahan likes hockey and has 722 Facebook friends.

Among them are Sean Parker, Dustin Moskovitz and a college dropout named Mark Zuckerberg.

Those friendships are about to pay off handsomely.

That’s because Callahan is one of a small cadre of people with substantial equity stakes in Facebook Inc. He earned it working at the Menlo Park, Calif., company as product manager and head of internal communications from late 2004 until mid-2010, helping run events like a 2008 New Hampshire presidential debate sponsored by Facebook.

Callahan’s slice of the pie is slim — a reported 0.08 percent — but given the social network’s expected valuation of up to $100 billion when it goes public this year, those hundredths of a percent add up fast. Less than a decade out from his days covering women’s volleyball for the Stanford Daily, Callahan could be depositing an extra $80 million in the bank by year’s end.

With the long-anticipated filing of Facebook’s formal registration for an initial public offering finally occurring Wednesday, enormous attention has been focused on the tens of billions of dollars that founder Zuckerberg is set to earn.

But the windfall from the IPO, which the company hopes will raise $5 billion from the sale of new shares, extends to a small network of people who live outside the tech limelight. And given the long run-up to this liquidity event, the excitement of these current and former Facebook employees and outside investors is almost palpable. “Personally I can’t wait for the waterpark to be opened,�

Slawek Biel, a software engineer who has worked at Facebook since late 2009, wrote in an online forum discussing the IPO this week.

Estimates about how many millionaires the offering will

mint vary widely, with some guessing as many as 1,000.

Certainly, employees and investors who got in early and managed to protect their stake will do well.

Beyond Zuckerberg and his 28.4 percent stake are original employees like Dustin Moskovitz, Zuckerberg’s roommate at Harvard who holds 7.6 percent, and venture capital hands like Peter Thiel, who put $500,000 into the company in 2004 and now could reap more than $2 billion.

Also cashing in: Eduardo Saverin, the company cofounder who was later forced out of the company after a bitter break with Zuckerberg. Although his original stake was deeply diluted, Saverin reached a confidential legal settlement with the company in 2009; reports at the time speculated that he had a 5 percent stake in the company.

Likewise, Divya Narenda and Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who were immortalized in the 2010 film “The Social Network� for their legal battle against Facebook, reportedly hold stakes of about 0.022 percent apiece — which could be worth a collective $66 million.

Celebrities also are getting in on the act. Elevation Partners, the investment firm that counts Bono as a managing director, spent $220 million amassing between 1.25 percent and 1.5 percent of the company in 2009 and 2010.

Sean Parker, legendary in tech circles for co-founding Napster and bringing in Facebook’s first round of funding before his ouster after a drug bust, holds roughly 4 percent of the firm. Others in line for a payout include Li Ka-Shing, China’s richest man, and Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes, who left the company in 2007.

Not everyone associated with Facebook is going to get rich, however. Although the company was generous with stock options early on, it grew tighter over time and for the past few years has not been offering stock options to employees.

LOS ANGELES — If you had 800 million friends, you’d think you’d be worryfree. But Facebook isn’t.

As part of its plans to go public, the popular social network has spelled out its worst nightmares — a litany of scenarios in which its unmatched success in social networking is gnawed at by federal regulators, adverse media coverage, widespread privacy concerns, rampant hacker attacks, unseen flaws in its technology, and worst of all, unhappy users. “It just struck me about how aware they are of their vulnerabilities,� Ryan Calo, director of privacy at Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet & Society, said after reading the 150-page document Facebook Inc. filed with federal regulators Wednesday to start its path toward an initial public offering of stock.

Many of Facebook’s most serious concerns arise from a tension at the core of its business: ensuring the privacy of its customers while also using what it knows about them to court advertisers. “They have a narrow path to walk, and their risk factors really dramatize that in a way we hadn’t seen before,� Calo said.

The company said that even though it takes substantial precautions to protect its rich cache of user data, hacking has become an increasing problem for Internet companies, and Facebook believes it may be in attackers’ cross-hairs. “Because of our prominence, we believe that we are a particularly attractive target for such attacks,� it said. Any failure to protect its user data from malicious intrusions, the company acknowledged, “may harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing users and attract new users.�

Facebook Continued from B1 A lofty valuation for Facebook would evoke the grandiose ambitions of the previous Internet boom in the late 1990s. Back then, dozens of unproven companies went public at sky-high valuations but later imploded.

Investors are eyeing the current generation of Internet companies with a healthy dose of skepticism. Zynga, the online gaming company, and Groupon, the daily deals site, have both struggled to stay above their IPO prices since going public late last year. “We’ve seen thousands of investors get burned before,� said Andrew Stoltmann, a securities lawyer in Chicago. “It’s a high-risk game.�

The potential payoff is also huge.

Consider Google. After its first day of trading in 2004, the search engine giant had at a market value of $27.6 billion. Since then, the stock has jumped by about 580 percent, making Google worth nearly $190 billion today.

Facebook is still a small fraction of the size of rival Google. But many analysts believe Facebook’s fortunes will rapidly multiply as advertisers direct increasingly more capital to the Web’s social hive.

Mark Zuckerberg, a founder of Facebook and its chief executive, even sounded like his Google counterparts in the beginning. In the filing, Zuckerberg trumpeted the company’s mission to “give everyone

a voice and to help transform society for the future� — not unlike Google’s plan: “Don’t be evil.�

Investors are often willing to pay up for faster growth.

At a market value of $100 billion, Facebook would trade at 100 times last year’s earnings.

That would make the stock significantly more expensive than Google’s, which is selling at 19.6 times profits.

Newly public companies with strong growth prospects often garner high multiples.

At the end of 2004, the year of its IPO, Google was trading at 132 times its earnings.

But investors have less expensive options for fast-growing technology companies.

Apple made nearly $1 billion a week in its latest quarter, roughly the same amount Facebook earned in all of 2011. At a recent price of $456, Apple is trading for roughly 16.5 times last year’s profits.

Sifting through the data Investors now have to try to ignore the IPO hype and soberly sift through the first batch of Facebook’s financial statements to gauge the company’s potential.

Online advertising is a prime indicator. At Facebook, display ads and the like accounted for $3.15 billion of revenue in 2011, roughly 85 percent of the total. With 845 million monthly active users, advertisers now feel that Facebook has to be part of any campaign they do. “When you have an audience that large, it’s hard not to make a lot of money from it,� said Andrew Frank, an analyst at Gartner, an industry

research firm.

For all the promise of Facebook, the company is still trying to figure out how to properly extract and leverage data, while keeping its system intact and not interfering with users’ experiences. On a peruser basis, Facebook makes a small sum, roughly $1 in profit.

The relationship with Zynga will be especially important. The online game company represented 12 percent of Facebook revenue last year, according to the filing. However, estimated daily active users of Zynga games on Facebook fell in the fourth quarter, from the third quarter, the brokerage firm Sterne Agee said in a recent research note — a trend that could weigh on the social networking company.

Facebook also faces intense competition for advertising dollars, something it acknowledges in the “risk factors� section of its IPO filing. While advertisers will likely choose to be on both Facebook and Google, they will inevitably compare results they get from both. Some analysts think Google may have the edge in such a competition.

Google users tend to be looking for something specific. This makes it easier for advertisers to direct their ads at potential customers, analysts say. “Visually, Facebook ads are eye-catching, but in terms of accuracy of targeting, they are not even close to Google’s ads,� said Nate Elliott, an analyst at Forrester Research. “A lot of the companies we talk to are finding it very hard to succeed on Facebook.�

When bonds aren’t enough to retire on • Yields are too low to generate income, so investors must try new strategies

Tom McNulty says he depends on income from his investment portfolio for about 70 percent of the living expenses for him and his wife, Peggy.

His adviser keeps about four years of expenses in bonds.

By Paul Sullivan New York Times News Service

Playing safe with your investments doesn’t pay these days.

U.S. Treasury bonds and other high-grade bonds used to be the safe way for older investors to generate income in their portfolios. But yields on these bonds are now so low, they are not generating much income.

The Federal Reserve’s announcement last week that short-term interest rates would remain close to zero through 2014 confirmed that there was little hope in the near term for much change in bond income.

But it is not easy to find something to replace that income. Other options are not nearly as safe. The wild gyrations in the stock market at the end of last year further unsettled investors who did not need much to remind them of their losses from 2008.

“We think the search for yield will continue for a few structural reasons,” said Barbara Reinhard, chief investment strategist at Credit Suisse’s private bank.

The first, she said, is low interest rates. But the second reason is what keeps many retirees awake at night.

“You have this aging population in the U.S. saying: ‘I need to supplement my retirement through income generation. My life expectancy is long. I retired at 65, but I could live another 18, 20 years,’ ” Reinhard said.

So what can investors, particularly those nearing or in retirement, do to guarantee a big enough and regular stream of income? Here is a look at three

Nancy Crase New York Times News Service

variations.

Less risk It may seem obvious, but low risk means lower return. Tom McNulty in Scottsdale, Ariz., who worked in the automobile and mortgage businesses before retiring six years ago, found an adviser who practiced a variation on this theme.

McNulty said he depended on income from his portfolio for about 70 percent of the living expenses for him and his wife, Peggy. His adviser keeps four years of expenses in safe but low-yielding bonds, leaving the rest of the portfolio to grow.

“It wasn’t just providing us the income but protecting the asset base we did have,” McNulty said. “We hope to live another 20 or 30 years. We learned that 70-30 in stocks and bonds in the accumulation phase and reversing it in the distribution phase is just not going to work.”

Jeremy Kisner, president of SureVest Capital Management, which works with McNulty, said his firm wanted clients to feel as if they had a pension even if they did not.

“What we’ve found is that

retirees who have a pension sleep really well at night and they’re happy,” he said. “The clients who don’t have that worry about running out of money, no matter how much money they have. We try to create a pension for them.”

More income Henry Fleischer, a retired engineer who lives outside Detroit, has opted for a strategy that will provide more income now, require him to dip less into the principal of his retirement account and still have little exposure to equities.

His sizable nest egg is divided among investments in three income-producing assets: real estate investment trusts, master limited partnerships — most commonly companies involved in the transportation of natural resources — and annuities.

“We don’t need to be super aggressive,” said David White, his adviser, who runs David B. White Financial. “We don’t want the volatility of the stock market.”

Last year, REITs had yields of 4.5 percent, according to the FTSE Nareit index, and master limited partnerships

had 5.6 percent yields, according to the Alerian MLP index.

But neither is risk-free. Another downturn and collapse in the rental market could hurt REITs, and master limited partnerships can be volatile; they fell as much as the equity markets in 2008.

What is telling about these nervous times is that Fleischer should not have to worry. He is 89, and while he wants to make sure his wife has enough money if he dies first, he is less concerned about his two sons, who are successful and selfsufficient. Still, his portfolio lets him sleep well.

“When times are good, I kind of feel badly about it,” because he feels he isn’t participating in the rising market, Fleischer said. “When there are downturns, I’m very pleased. I make sure that greed doesn’t overtake me.”

A balance Simon R.C. Wadsworth, 64, made his money in the real estate business. He retired in 2009 as the chief financial officer of MAA, a REIT focused on apartments.

While Wadsworth, who lives in Memphis, Tenn., has

much of his wealth still tied up in real estate, he says he thinks preferred REIT stocks, a niche among REITs, are a good source of income in retirement. On average, the preferred stocks yield about 7 percent, against 3 percent for regular REIT stocks.

But dividends are fixed for preferred REIT shares. So if inflation goes up, the payment stays the same. And REITs can buy back the preferred shares after five years, usually because they can sell new ones with lower yields.

Yet Wadsworth said preferred shares account for only about 7 percent of his incomegenerating portfolio. That is not because of the risks associated with them. Rather, he said, “you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

His view could become the prevailing one in an era without pensions and guarantees of income. Just as assets need to be allocated when people are looking to accumulate wealth, they need to be spread out as people spend the money they made in their working lives.

Joel Isaacson, founder of an investment firm of the same name, said investors too often look to buy something just because it has a high yield, without understanding the risks.

“One of the things in this type of market is, people get desperate,” said Isaacson, whose firm handles $4 billion in investments. “This is where you see a lot of elder fraud, where people look for ‘too good to be true.’ ” He said there was no silver bullet to replace the high-yielding bonds of the past, unless you count Apple stock.

“If you look at the news today, the only thing you should really do is buy Apple stock,” Isaacson said after the company reported record quarterly earnings this week. Alas, Apple doesn’t pay a dividend.

Some early federal tax refunds will be delayed

By Donna Gehrke-White Sun Sentinel

The early bird does not always get the worm: The Internal Revenue Service says that some taxpayers who filed on or before Jan. 25 may have to wait a week longer than expected.

The IRS blamed it on new anti-fraud safeguards being installed on IRS computers that required “fine-tuning.”

The federal agency had originally announced that many taxpayers would get their money back as early as 10 days after they filed online and had their check deposited directly.

That still remains true for those who filed after Jan. 26, said IRS spokesman Mike Dobzinski in Plantation, Fla. But those who filed before may have a longer wait because the IRS got bogged down with the computer work.

“Some taxpayers will receive refunds approximately one week later than initial projections they may have received, but these are still in line with historical refund delivery times,” according to an IRS statement.

“The IRS is providing additional screening for fraud this year before issuing refunds, but the vast majority of taxpayers can still continue to expect to receive their refunds in a timely fashion,” the agency added in a written release.

For those who haven’t filed yet, many community and nonprofit groups provide free tax help for low-income and elderly taxpayers at more than 12,000 sites nationwide. The IRS offers help finding free tax-preparation aid at 800-906-9887.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Brew Wërks Continued from B1 Portland company Ager Tank & Equipment Co. has built a seven-barrel brew system for Brew Wërks’ new production facility and tasting room, which Love would like to open in April.

Soon Brew Wërks will collaborate with Silver Moon to adjust the recipe of the Irreverence IPA currently served in the pub to fit the new brew system, Love said. New recipes will follow and will be available for the drinking at the pub and tasting room.

The pub itself, which was sold to a group of partners, should see some changes in the weeks to come, while retaining its name.

The menu will change, and a new chef is set to begin

Economy Continued from B1 In Germany, Europe’s largest economy, output grew for the first time since September.

In Britain, manufacturing returned to growth in January after shrinking in the previous three months.

Across the euro region, manufacturing contracted less than initially estimated as a gauge based on a survey of purchasing managers rose to 48.8 from 46.9 the previous month, London-based Markit Economics said Wednesday.

The median forecast for the ISM index among 80 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was 54.5. Estimates ranged from 53 to 56.

Caterpillar, the largest construction and miningequipment maker, last month posted fourth-quarter earnings and forecast full-year profit that topped analysts’ estimates as demand rose for earth-moving machinery and trucks. The Peoria, Ill.-based manufacturer said it had a record $29.8 billion backlog of orders at the end of 2011.

Chrysler Group LLC, the automaker majority owned

by Fiat SpA, said U.S. sales rose 44 percent last month, joining Nissan Motor Co. and General Motors Co. in beat-

working in the kitchen, said one of the new owners, Nate Hardenbrook.

He said the owners are interested in opening a second Brew Wërks pub, possibly in downtown Bend.

Hardenbrook believes it’s a good time to get into the brewing business.

“You hear a lot about other breweries just not able to brew enough,” he said. “I think we’re going to continue growing, and I think the surroundings of Bend really lend itself to the beer culture.”

Jimmy Seifrit, 10 Barrel’s brewmaster, said he sees no problem with Brew Wërks’ expansion into beer making.

“It’s one more reason for somebody to come and visit Bend for beer,” Seifrit said.

ing analysts’ estimates for January.

The ISM’s new orders measure climbed to 57.6, the highest since April, from 54.8, and the gauge of export orders rose. Manufacturing accounts for about 12 percent of the economy and was at the forefront of the recovery that began in June 2009.

Federal Reserve officials said in their policy statement last month that they may leave interest rates low until 2014, in part because “strains in global financial markets continue to pose significant downside risks to the economic outlook.”

Employment at companies climbed 170,000 in January, according to data today by Roseland, N.J.-based ADP Employer Services. The gain compared with a median forecast of 182,000 in a Bloomberg survey of economists and followed a revised 292,000 rise the prior month that was smaller than previously reported.

Construction spending increased 1.5 percent in December, the biggest gain since August, helped by a jump in non-residential construction, Commerce Department figures showed Wednesday. The median estimate of 51 economists in a Bloomberg survey called for a 0.5 percent rise.

Networks Continued from B1 “There’s a lot of chicanery,” said Brad Adgate, the longtime director of research for Horizon Media, which buys time on television shows. “It’s a way to tweak your opponents and get some ink for yourself.”

NBC took the opposite path of ABC with the use of the term “special” in its presentation of the Republican primary debate Jan. 23. Careful viewers noticed that the debate was labeled a regular edition of the network’s ratings-challenged newsmagazine program, “Rock Center” — one that, as it turned out, just happened to double the show’s usual audience to just more than 7.1 million viewers.

The manipulation of where national commercials are placed in a show has become one of the favorite shell games networks use to try to enhance their numbers. Shows receive national ratings from Nielsen only up to the point when the last national commercial is broadcast — after that, the numbers simply do not count.

Perhaps the best example of the legerdemain behind the placement of national commercials can be seen in late night, where what should be

Traders Continued from B1 On a conference call Wednesday, the U.S. attorney for Manhattan, Preet Bharara, urged Serageldin, 42, a U.S. citizen who lives in London, to come to the United States and face the charges against him.

“My client has done nothing wrong and is fully cooperating with the investigation,” said James McGuire, a lawyer for Serageldin. “In terms of how and when he plans to defend the case, I need to confer with him.”

In court appearances Wednesday, Higgs, 42, and Siddiqui, 36, both said that they participated in the fraud at the direction of Serageldin.

“The stunning scale of the illegal mismarking in this case was surpassed only by

Another ratings tactic that is now routine involves extending the duration of more popular shows, allowing them to run a minute or two past their scheduled end time. That means the show that follows — usually one a network wants to enhance with the best possible introduction — gets a ratings lift in early national ratings reports that are often widely reported by news outlets.

In December, for example, Fox ran its singing competition “The X-Factor” a minute long to provide a strong entry for “I Hate My Teenage Daughter,” the low-rated comedy that followed it.

In the initial national ratings that Nielsen reports every morning, these later-starting shows receive inflated numbers in their first half hour.

Those numbers are corrected by the late afternoon, but by then media reporters intent on getting news up as fast as possible have often bestowed some measure of success on the tagalong show.

“We’re all competitive,” said a senior executive from a network programming depart-

justify their mortgage bond portfolio’s inflated value by seeking “independent” marks from other banks’ trading desks, according to the government.

After learning that the marks at Deutsche Bank and Barclays Capital were substantially lower than their own marks, they looked elsewhere.

Siddiqui, the junior trader, subsequently secured sham “independent” marks from a friend who worked at a small investment bank.

“In less than a minute, Mr. Siddiqui’s friend generated prices on a number of AAA bonds that were nearly identical to those recorded by Mr. Siddiqui and his conspirators,” the government said.

The false profits allowed Serageldin, the head of the group, to secure a cash bonus of more than $1.7 million and

a stock award of more than $5.2 million. Credit Suisse rescinded the stock award after it discovered the fraud; the government will try to forfeit the cash bonus.

The government’s investigation of Credit Suisse originated in early 2008 after the bank disclosed that it was taking a $2.65 billion write-down after discovering that a team of traders had mismarked the value of mortgage securities on their books.

Credit Suisse suspended the team.

The bank, which will not be charged in the case, has been cooperating with authorities.

ment who asked not to be identified when discussing ratings tricks. “And we’re going to try to get you guys in the press to write our story.”

Mostly, ratings gimmicks have little financial impact on the networks, beyond giving bragging rights to their executives — and maybe some ego stroking.

“They’re getting bragging rights of being able to say they are No. 1 in late night,” Burnett said of “Nightline.” That’s meaningful for them. They’re monetizing it.”

Marketers get what they paid for no matter where a commercial gets placed. Conversely, though, some local advertisers are relegated to the back end of shows.

A Nielsen executive, who requested anonymity because of confidentiality agreements with clients, said Nielsen did have guidelines for what could be done with shows but recognized that networks would “format their programs to generate maximum ratings impact — call it gimmicks, or call it spin.”

Unless the gimmick results in something egregiously false, Nielsen does not step in.

The worst that might happen would be a sternly worded letter.

the greed of the senior bankers behind the scheme,” said Robert Khuzami, the head of enforcement at the Securities and Exchange Commission, which brought a parallel civil action against the former Credit Suisse traders.

The assets that the Credit Suisse traders overvalued were mortgage-backed securities, the bonds that caused hundreds of billions of dollars in losses across the global financial system.

The government’s case against the former Credit Suisse traders depicts a brazen scheme to artificially increase the price of bonds on their books to create fictitious profits just as the housing market was seizing up.

a head-to-head competition takes place on a decidedly uneven playing field.

ABC’s “Nightline” always has enjoyed one advantage over the entertainment shows on CBS and NBC hosted by David Letterman and Jay Leno, because it traditionally compares ratings for its halfhour program against the full hour of the other late-night shows. That gives “Nightline” an edge because in late night, every minute that passes means more viewers are off to bed.

This year, “Nightline” has managed to shift the contest even more heavily in its favor.

At least that is how one competitor, Rob Burnett, the executive producer of the Letterman show, sees it.

“It’s a trick; it’s an obfuscation,” Burnett said.

“Nightline,” a 25-minute show, is frequently measured for many fewer minutes, often as few as 16, while Letterman’s show averages more than 48 minutes. By steering all its national commercials within the first 16 minutes of the show, “Nightline” can substantially improve its ratings. (Regardless of when its commercials run, “Nightline” is doing better in general, and if the shows are measured first half hour to

Rare earth refinery gets permit Woman wins suit despite concerns about waste against Honda over • Malaysian plant hybrid gas mileage will offer alternative

By Linda Deutsch

to manufacturers dependant on China

The Associated Press

By Keith Bradsher New York Times News Service

HONG KONG — Malaysian regulators granted an initial operating license late Wednesday for a giant rare earth metals refinery that has been at the center of a dispute over radioactive waste management.

The refinery is expected to open in this year’s second quarter. It is intended to offer an alternative for Western companies that now depend on Chinese producers.

China mines and processes more than 90 percent of the world’s rare earths, but has placed various restrictions on their export in recent years, causing price spikes and spot shortages. The metals are used in items as diverse as smartphones and smart bombs, in oil refining and in wind turbines.

The Malaysian Atomic Energy Licensing Board said in a statement late Wednesday that Lynas, the Australian company that is building the refinery, must specify within 10 months a location and submit detailed plans for a permanent disposal of the more than 1,000 tons a month of low-level radioactive waste that the refinery will produce. Though the issue is not expected to delay the plant’s opening, it will put pressure on the company to find a solution to the waste problem.

Lynas for several years has been studying what to do with the waste and still has an active research effort under way.

But it has encountered growing hostility from people liv-

A new refinery for rare earth metals is being built in Kuantan, Malaysia, by the Lynas Corp. of Australia. Despite regulatory concerns over radioactive waste management, the refinery is expected to open in this year’s second quarter.

ing near the refinery, which is on the outskirts of Kuantan in eastern peninsular Malaysia.

The licensing board said that the waste “is the responsibility of the company including, if necessary, to return the residue to the original source.” That would refer to Australia.

The refinery will process concentrated rare earth ore from a Lynas mine deep in the desert in western Australia, using heat and thousands of tons a year of powerful sulfuric acid to separate the valuable minerals from dirt and radioactive contaminants.

Lynas has questioned whether it could be required to ship waste back to Australia, a task that would be extremely difficult because of international and Australian regulations on movements of waste with even

very low levels of radioactive contamination.

Nicholas Curtis, the executive chairman of Lynas, has said that the company chose Malaysia for the refinery for cost reasons: Malaysian engineers earn considerably less than Australian engineers, and Malaysia’s natural gas industry produces very large quantities of sulfur that will be turned into the necessary processing acid at a separate factory adjacent to the refinery.

The Malaysian board announced its decision during the middle of the night in Australia, and Lynas executives could not be reached for immediate comment. Curtis said in a conference call with investors and journalists on Tuesday that the first of two phases of the refinery project was more than 90 percent

complete, and that 85 percent of the staff had already been hired.

Fuziah Salleh, an opposition member of Malaysian Parliament who represents downtown Kuantan but not the less affluent industrial area where the refinery is located, said that critics of the project had already retained lawyers to seek a judicial review of the initial license. The legal challenge will be based on whether Lynas should file a more detailed environmental impact assessment for the refinery, in response to stricter assessment requirements written into Malaysian law last summer.

The International Atomic Energy Agency had suggested last summer that a plan for permanent waste disposal be approved before the refinery starts operations.

LOS ANGELES — The Southern California owner of a Honda hybrid car won her unusual small-claims court lawsuit against the automaker over the vehicle’s failure to deliver its stated fuel economy.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Douglas Carnahan awarded Heather Peters $9,867 on Wednesday, saying Honda did mislead her about the expected mileage.

“At a bare minimum Honda was aware … that by the time Peters bought her car there were problems with its living up to its advertised mileage,” he wrote in the judgment.

Peters opted out of a classaction lawsuit so she could try to claim a higher payment for the failure of her Civic to deliver the 50 miles per gallon that was promised when she bought it.

Informed of the decision by The Associated Press, Peters exulted, “Wow! Fantastic.”

“I am absolutely thrilled.

Sometimes big justice comes in small packages,” she said.

“This is a victory for Honda Civic owners everywhere.”

Honda hadn’t seen the decision Wednesday afternoon but planned to issue a statement after it was reviewed, said spokesman Chris Martin.

Peters, a former lawyer, hoped to inspire a flood of lawsuits by the other 200,000 owners of the Hybrid Honda Civic model sold in 2006. She said that if all 200,000 owners of the cars sued and won in small claims court, it could cost Honda Motor Co. $2 billion.

She launched a website, DontSettleWithHonda.org,

and said she was contacted by hundreds of other car owners seeking guidance in how to file small claims suits if they opted out of a class-action case already filed.

The upside of small claims court is that there are no attorneys’ fees and cases are decided quickly. Individual payments are far greater than in class-action cases.

Honda’s proposed class-action settlement would give aggrieved owners $100 to $200 each and a $1,000 credit toward the purchase of a new car.

Legal experts had said it was unlikely that all owners would take the small claims route because of the time and energy involved in pursuing such lawsuits. But it was a unique approach that could have an impact.

Carnahan held two hearings on the claim in January.

Peters claimed her car never came close to the promised 50 mpg and that it got no more than 30 miles per gallon when the battery began deteriorating. She still owns the car and wanted to be compensated for money lost on gas, as well as punitive damages, amounting to $10,000.

A Honda technical expert who testified at an earlier hearing said the company was required by federal law to post the sticker estimating the highest mileage the car could get. But he said the mileage varied according to how the car was driven. The company said Peters was not deceived.

A judge in San Diego County is due to rule in March on whether to approve Honda’s class-action settlement. Members of the class have until Feb. 11 to accept or decline the deal.

Greeks unsettled by demands of a frustrated European Union

By Michael Birnbaum The Washington Post

ATHENS, Greece — For Greeks who have watched their taxes skyrocket, their wages plunge and their prospects flatline, news of the latest austerity demands from European leaders came like the punchline to a bad joke.

If the Mediterranean country does not receive another bailout, it will default on its debts by mid-March, potentially sending it spinning off the euro currency or even out of the European Union. But before Greece can get more money, Europe is asking it to take steps that will aggravate an already biting recession.

Officials said Wednesday that they were within days of reaching a deal to reduce Greece’s debt and to give it a second, $174 billion bailout. As Europe starts to acknowledge that its austerity-driven policies elsewhere have not done enough to lift the continent out of its economic troubles, leaders have shown a new willingness to consider economic stimulus policies. But Greece, so far, remains an exception.

If Greece doesn’t lower its minimum wages, cut pensions and further slash spending on public health within days, European leaders have hinted that they are ill-inclined to keep loaning money to help the country pay its debts. They complain that Greece has fallen far short of meeting the financial promises that it has made over the past two years and has nearly run out of time to make up for it.

In Germany, frustration with Greece has grown so deep that leaders there briefly floated the idea last weekend of having a European commissioner take over the country’s budget and spending sovereignty for the duration of the bailout, sparking memories of Germany’s World War II occupation of Greece. They later backed off.

Some Greek leaders are incredulous that Europe is demanding cutbacks that could

A man wrapped in a sleeping bag in near-freezing temperatures walks through central Athens. European leaders have hinted they will stop lending money if Greece doesn’t lower its minimum wages, cut pensions and further slash spending on public health within days.

“If you cut salaries, incomes, pensions, you cut everything, the demand decreases, and then consumption decreases rapidly. All the policies are part of a vicious circle.”

— Michalis Chrisochoidis, development minister

hurt the nation’s poorest first even as it talks about stimulating economic growth elsewhere in the euro zone.

“If you cut salaries, incomes, pensions,” said Development Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis, “you cut everything, the demand decreases, and then consumption decreases rapidly.”

He added, “All the policies are part of a vicious circle.”

European leaders say that reducing Greece’s minimum wage would boost the nation’s competitiveness compared with countries like Portugal, where labor costs are lower.

But Greek officials and economists say that stronger competitiveness is virtually mean-

ingless as long as their future on the euro is in doubt. Only the gutsiest investor, they say, is willing to gamble on the country in the interim because if Greece goes back to its old currency, the drachma, inflation could wipe out a large portion of any investments made today.

“There is no question that the short-term effects of these measures are contractionary,” said Panos Tsakloglou, an economist at the Athens University of Economics and Business who also is an adviser to the Greek finance ministry.

The cuts will cause tax revenue and consumption to drop, he said, though he added that, nevertheless, he supports the measures because they will help Greece in the long run.

But many others see the demands as way too burdensome. The cuts “are not necessarily very wisely thought out,” said a Greek official, speaking on condition of anonymity to talk candidly about Greece’s perception of the demands from the European team of negotiators from the IMF, the European Commission and the European Central Bank. “The troika,” as the team is called, “is becoming harsher,” the official said.

THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2012

LOCAL BRIEFING Bend may renew downtown levy Bend’s downtown could look a lot different this spring if the City Council doesn’t reauthorize an economic improvement district in March.

Downtown has been an economic improvement district since 2007, and the fees collected from businesses have paid for everything from cleaning the sidewalks and removing snow to putting on events like Oktoberfest and the Art Hop. The current district, which assesses commercial properties $0.15 per square foot per year, is set to expire in April. If the council reauthorizes the district, that fee will increase by 3 cents to $0.18 per square foot.

According to information from the Bend Downtown Business Association, that extra money will be used to launch a new marketing campaign that aims to bring more locals downtown.

Councilors learned about the new economic improvement district Wednesday. They are scheduled to hold a public hearing on the district in March, and have a final hearing in May.

The other two finalists are Paul Andrews, executive director of High Desert ESD’s School Improvement Program, and Michael Lasher, deputy superintendent for the Intermountain Education Service District in Eastern Oregon. Andrews has been with High Desert ESD for 12 years, also working as director of special programs. Lasher has worked for Intermountain ESD for 15 years.

Show for a growing industry

Deschutes OKs recycling funds Deschutes County officials decided Wednesday to restore some of the money cut last year from education programs focused on preventing waste and increasing recycling.

The county Department of Solid Waste contracts with The Environmental Center in Bend to provide education in local schools and other programs.

Last year, the county cut spending on recycling education and other work by the nonprofit from $155,000 to $50,000 amid budget concerns.

The county had laid off two employees in 2010 and closed Knott Landfill on Sundays to balance its budget.

The center asked for an additional $39,000 in the current budget year for labor, overhead and mileage costs not covered by the $50,000 that officials approved last year. Most of the increase — $25,000 — will pay for a waste reduction marketing campaign.

Commissioner Tammy Baney said it would be nice to find a way to quantify the impact of these programs on the amount of waste kept out of the landfill.

“It came down to what we do with a lot of prevention,” Baney said.

“It’s hard to quantify.”

County staffers have said it would be costly and difficult to measure the correlation between education programs and the amount of waste going into the landfill.

The county budget committee last year asked for more information about the recycling and waste reduction programs, and Baney said it was a worthwhile exercise.

“I see it as a positive in that we took information from the public and got some clarity in what we’re doing,” Baney said. “It better helps us establish out goals, look at how we’re meeting them and spending our money.”

In addition to dozens of exhibitors representing area businesses and nonprofits, the event features speakers slated to address such topics as soil management, plant pathology,

climate trends and even politics.

Lindsey DuToit, a Washington State University plant pathologist, spoke Wednesday morning about diseases that plague farmers who grow carrot and onion seed.

Carrot seed a ‘mainstay’ topic “Carrot seed has been a mainstay in the area and it’s a topic it seems like every year,” said Jefferson County farmer Mark Hagman.

“They decided let’s make a day of it, have the exhibitors come in, and do something good for the agricultural community and the general public.”

Seed Growers Association, Hagman is part of the committee that organizes the event, which was born more than three decades ago out of a desire by local farmers to showcase goods, trade techniques and catch up on regional agriculture.

“They decided let’s make a day of it, have the exhibitors come in, and do something good for the agricultural community and the general public,” Hagman said.

WILDLIFE PRESERVATION

Officials bar public access to 50k acres of deer habitat

By Dylan J. Darling The Bulletin

A wildlife area in Grant County covering roughly 50,000 acres is closed to all public access until midApril as part of an effort to guard wintering mule deer herds from human interference.

It’s the second year that Phillip W. Scheider Wildlife Area — which includes land overseen by the state and Bureau of Land Management — will be closed for late winter and early spring, said Ryan Torland, district biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in

Grant County.

Land management agencies have taken such measures for decades on public land in Central Oregon, although they have not gone so far as to ban all public access, said Steven George, ODFW’s Deschutes district biologist. Instead, the closures have restricted motorized vehicles, the noise of which can

The Tumalo Winter Range — 35 square miles between Bend and Sisters west of U.S. Highway 20 — has been closed seasonally since the early 1950s, and the Cabin Lake Winter Range — 120 square miles near Fort Rock — has been closed seasonally since the late 1950s, George said. Motor vehicles are restricted at the ranges from Dec. 1 to March 31.

The state and the U.S. Forest Service are also considering expanding a winter range closure west of Madras next year, he said.

Wintering deer closures To keep people from disturbing wintering mule deer, a Grant County wildlife area is closed to public access for the next two months. It’s the second year the Phillip W. Schneider Wildlife Area will be under such a closure. Similar closures, restricting motor vehicle use but allowing other access, have been in effect for decades elsewhere in Central Oregon.

LOCAL BRIEFING Continued from C1

Suspects sought in Bend shooting Those responsible for a shooting that occurred at a home on Northwest Jacksonville Avenue in Bend on Tuesday night are still at large, the Bend Police Department said.

Police responded to the report of shots being fired at a Jacksonville Avenue residence around 10:40 p.m. and discovered that rounds had been fired at the house.

The 33-year-old resident was not injured, though he was nearly struck multiple times by the gunfire.

Police searched the neighborhood but were unable to find those responsible.

The investigation is ongoing. Possible charges include attempted murder, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.

Anyone with information about the shooting should contact the Police Department at 541-693-6911.

Lost skier found on Bachelor A skier who became lost Tuesday afternoon near Mt. Bachelor was found by search and rescue personnel at the AC/DC nordic ski shelter later that evening, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office said.

Daniel Gorman, 41, of Linnwood, Wash., had been skiing with friends Tuesday when he went too far to the southeast and ended up skiing more than a mile and a half past Mt. Bachelor’s “catch line.”

Gorman made his way into the Edison Butte nordic area, where he contacted the ski patrol using a hand-held radio. The ski patrol called 911 about 4 p.m. and directed Gorman to the nordic shelter by radio.

Responding search and rescue deputies and volunteers found Gorman at the shelter about 8 p.m. He was uninjured and was later taken by snowmobile to Edison Sno-park.

Deer Continued from C1 During winter and early spring, deer move to lower elevations around Central Oregon to avoid deep snow. They regularly return to the same area they wintered in when they were young, and try to make it through the season by munching on what bitter brush they can find.

“It’s kind of a controlled starvation,” George said.

Deer also limit their movements during the winter to conserve energy, he said.

Encounters with people may be stressful for deer during wintertime and drain their energy, said Sara Gregory, a research assistant at ODFW’s Bend office.

“They have that flight response,” she said. “They want to get away from you.”

People, cars, bikes and dogs all can cause deer to run.

“There are many things that we bring out into the habitat that can stress them out,” she said.

Deer aren’t the only animal in Central Oregon for which land managers restrict access.

The U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management close roads and trails for more than half the year to protect bald eagles and other raptors, officials with the agencies said.

Along the Cascade Lakes Highway alone there are about 30 bald eagle nesting sites that prompt closures, said Lauri Turner, wildlife biologist for the Deschutes National Forest.

The closures last from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31, but often start early as forest workers close gates ahead of winter storms as early as November.

“We just try to get them closed as close enough to the

time of year for the sake of deer makes sense, said Duane Dungannon, coordinator of the Oregon Hunters Association in Medford.

“It’s kind of a quiet time on the range,” he said. “It’s rest-

season as we can,” Turner said. “Before the snow gets too deep.”

The BLM started the following closures Wednesday: Trout Creek Trail near the Lower Deschutes River; portions of the Cline Buttes Recreation Area northwest of Bend; Horny Hollow Trail near Crooked River Ranch; and Dry River Canyon Trail in the Badlands Wilderness east of Bend.

Closures will last until Aug. 31, according to Lisa Clark, spokeswoman for the BLM in Prineville. They join BLM Beach on the south side of Lake Billy Chinook and U.S. Route 95 in the Millican Plateau OHV Trail System, where closures started on Jan. 1.

OCCUPIERS GREET LAWMAKERS ON RETURN TO SALEM Demonstrators sympathetic with the Occupy Wall Street movement protest outside the Oregon State Capitol on Wednesday in Salem. The Oregon Legislature kicked off a one-month session, the first in an election year since voters decided to create annual legislative sessions in 2010.

Firefighter guilty in Portland crash PORTLAND — A Portland firefighter has pleaded guilty to drunken driving in a crash that severed a utility pole and knocked out power to the area where the collision happened.

The Oregonian reports that 53-year-old Daniel Lyford had been scheduled for trial this week on multiple charges but recently pleaded guilty to the single count. He was sentenced to two years’ probation, a one-year driver’s license suspension and community service.

After the 2:30 a.m. crash Nov. 18, authorities learned the pickup truck found down a muddy ravine was registered to Lyford, who lived a half mile away.

When police went to his house, he answered, soaking wet and covered in mud.

According to police reports, he told officers he had been home drinking for hours and was wet and muddy because he’d been gardening.

Suicidal woman shot with bean bag PORTLAND — Portland police say they used beanbag rounds and a stun gun to end a standoff with a suicidal woman who had been holding a 12-inch butcher knife to her throat.

KATU-TV reports officers fired four beanbag rounds Wednesday and the stun gun to subdue the woman. Police say she was not seriously hurt.

Medics removed her in an ambulance.

Officers had responded to talk to the woman inside a house.

Last week, Portland police shot and killed a man who pulled a replica handgun from his jacket pocket after threatening to jump from a roof and telling dispatchers he wanted to be killed by police.

Police say they responded to about 1,100 calls of people threatening suicide in 2011.

Portland to settle in police shooting PORTLAND — Portland has agreed to pay $1.2 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of a distraught man fatally shot in the back by police in January 2010.

The federal civil rights lawsuit over the death of Aaron Campbell had been set to go to trial next week.

The Oregonian reports that Mayor Sam Adams apologized to Campbell’s family on his Facebook page. Adams added that he realizes the settlement does not erase the family’s pain.

The City Council must still approve the settlement reached late Tuesday.

Campbell was unarmed and emotionally distraught over his brother’s death when he emerged from an apartment at police direction with his back to officers and his hands behind his head. The officer who shot him was fired.

Mushroom pickers’ SUV, clothes found GOLD BEACH — Sheriff’s deputies in Southern Oregon say they’ve found an SUV and some clothes belonging to three missing mushroom pickers but the adult couple and their son are still missing.

Curry County Sheriff John Bishop says Belinda and Daniel Conne, both 47, and their 25-year-old son, Michael, were last seen Sunday at their campsite on the Rogue River.

They did not return and left their two dogs in a camping trailer.

Deputies found their unattended Jeep Cherokee off a Forest Service road on Wednesday. Clothing and mushroom picking gear were found “some distance” away.

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, right, talks with Occupy Oregon protesters at his office in the Oregon State Capitol on Wednesday in Salem.

Kitzhaber spoke briefly with about two dozen people who packed into the lobby of his Capitol suite. He asked for their support of his proposed education and health care initiatives, which he says would be beneficial to the 99 percent of Americans that demonstrators

say they’re fighting for.

The demonstrators had their own agenda, however. Several asked the governor to join them in opposing a U.S. Supreme Court decision that removed most limits on election spending by corporations and labor unions.

Kitzhaber said he sympathized with their cause and wished them luck. He was joined by his companion, Cylvia Hayes, along with several aides and security officials.

Tobacco suit winnings might shrink $200M spending gap

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

SALEM — As the Oregon Legislature convened Wednesday for the start of the session, key lawmakers proposed spending much of a $56 million dollar legal windfall to help patch a budget deficit and avoid cutting services for the sick and needy.

Three legislators in charge of writing the state’s financial plan suggest taking three-quarters of the settlement from a lawsuit victory over tobacco giant Philip Morris, roughly $41 million, to shrink a $200 million spending gap, the rest of which would be closed with service cuts and budget maneuvers.

“Philip Morris’ unwilling contribution to our state coffers came at a very opportune

Estimation: January storm caused $38M in damages The Associated Press PORTLAND — Preliminary assessments indicate the wind, rain and snow that hit Oregon in mid-January caused an estimated $38 million in damage to nine counties.

The Oregonian reports that figure is expected to grow.

Marion County has tallied $11.2 million in damage, including about $8 million to bridges in Salem undermined by floodwaters. Red Cross officials estimate that 207 Salem buildings sustained flood damage.

Oregon Emergency Management spokeswoman Jennifer Chamberlain says the storm battered more than 400 homes around the state. Most of the damage came from floodwaters but homes also were damaged by fallen trees or wind.

The $38 million figure covers losses to housing, businesses, agriculture, infrastructure and the cost of such things as sandbags, debris removal and damage to parks.

time,” said Rep. Dennis Richardson, R-Central Point, a cochair of the budget committee.

The suggestion comes as lawmakers gathered in Salem to begin a one-month session to work on the budget and other issues. It’s the first session in an even-year since voters decided to make the Legislature meet annually.

The tobacco money stems from a December ruling by the state Supreme Court rejecting Philip Morris’ challenge to part of the punitive damages it was ordered to pay in 1999. The company lost a suit brought by the family of a Portland smoker who died of lung cancer.

Philip Morris had agreed to pay the man’s family, but challenged an Oregon law requir-

ing that 60 percent of punitive damage awards go to a state fund that compensates crime victims.

Rosemary Brewer, legal director of the Oregon Crime Victims Law Center, was less enthusiastic about the idea of taking the money from the victims’ compensation fund.

“The punitive damages award is supposed to benefit services for crime victims,” Brewer said. “Crime-victim services are critical elements of the public safety system.”

If the both chambers and the governor sign off, the tobacco money would decrease the severity of spending cuts.

But it won’t completely protect services already reeling from more than $3 billion in cuts enacted last year.

Cattlemen push bill to proceed with wolf killing

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

GRANTS PASS — Frustrated that a judge has blocked a state kill order on two members of Oregon’s first wolf pack, the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association is pushing legislation to boost the state’s authority over the predators.

Conservation groups that sued the state to stop the order say the rancher bill is an effort to circumvent their lawsuit and the state Endangered Species Act, which the association’s legislative chairman denied.

Bill Hoyt, of the Cattlemen Association, said the group would rather the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, not judges, make decisions about wolves.

“It is intended to make clear what ODFW has the power to do under what has been agreed upon in the Oregon wolf plan,” said Hoyt, a Cottage Grove cattle rancher and past president of the association.

He added that the association wants to get some conservation groups on board, because without them the bill is unlikely to pass.

Noah Greenwald of the Center for Biological Diversity said by providing a loophole for killing wolves, the bill would create a precedent for getting around state protection for any species that gets in the way of logging, ranching, or development.

“It is designed essentially to nullify our litigation,” he said. “The Endangered Species Act prohibits taking the life of an endangered species. That includes the wolf. That’s what our lawsuit is based on.

“What if other endangered species become unpopular or difficult to live with? Do you kill them, too?”

Conservation suit Conservation groups sued the state last fall after the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued an order to kill two members of the Imnaha pack, the original pack to form in Oregon from wolves moving in from Idaho and the only one blamed for livestock deaths.

Though conservation groups have not opposed other wolf kill orders, they sought to block this one because they believed the pack would likely die out with just the alpha female and a pup left.

“It is intended to make clear what ODFW has the power to do under what has been agreed upon in the Oregon wolf plan.”

— Bill Hoyt, former president, Oregon Cattlemen’s Association

The Oregon Court of Appeals stopped the kill order while it considers the case, a process expected to take six or eight months.

A state House committee was scheduled to hold a public hearing Tuesday on a separate bill that would create a tax credit to compensate ranchers for livestock killed by wolves.

OR-7 tracks spotted Meanwhile, the 2-year-old male wolf from the Imanha pack that has trekked more than 1,000 miles looking for a mate remained in northeastern California, where two women came across tracks in the snow that authorities say were probably left by OR-7.

Tanya Dronoff and Linda Hay of Susanville were driving down a dirt road through open rangeland in Lassen County when they spotted the tracks. They contacted Mark Stopher, a policy analyst at the California Department of Fish and Game, who confirmed that OR-7’s tracking collar put him in the area at that time.

“We were just driving and I happened to glance down,” said Hay. “I told Tanya, ‘My gosh, there’s a huge track.’ We got out. My first thought was that it was a mountain lion, because it was big. We decided to go ahead and take pictures.

I told Tanya, ‘Maybe this could be Journey’s track.’”

Journey was the winning entry in a wolf naming contest held by the conservation group Oregon Wild.

They followed the tracks about a mile along the road, until they met up with some smaller canine tracks. The snow was disturbed over a wider area, like there was a confrontation, but there was no blood or hair to indicate the wolf killed the other animal, Hay and Dronoff said.

“You get the macho cowboys who say, ‘If I see him, I’m putting a slug in him,’” Hay said.

“But the majority of people are for him, I think. It’s just really exciting.

“I just want him to be safe, bless his little heart.”

E Event blackouts are unnecessary to woo Leadman

T

The Bulletin AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

B M C G B

J C R C

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-Chief Editor of Editorials

he Leadman Triathlon wants an exclusive deal from Deschutes County government. The event — scheduled for the next three years in September — has

asked county commissioners for a 30-day blackout window on each side of the event “in which additional ultra-distance triathlons will not be permitted.�

Such an expansive blackout is not necessary, though there can be good reasons to limit such events.

Keith Hughes, the race director for Life Time, the company that runs the Leadman, made a case for the blackout. He said the company is making an investment in Central Oregon and wants to protect its investment. If there were multiple events in the same time frame, it could make it difficult for Life Time to find enough volunteers — hundreds may be needed to staff the race. And he said the blackout request is standard practice for companies producing ultra-distance triathlons.

But perhaps most important, Hughes told us the blackout request is not a deal breaker for Life Time.

The question for commissioners is: What’s best for Deschutes County?

It is surely better for the region if the LeadmanTri Bend succeeds.

It will highlight Central Oregon’s reputation as an outdoor destination. The competition shows the area off. It starts with a 5K swim across Cultus Lake. There’s a 223K

bike ride around Mount Bachelor.

And the 22K run finishes crossing the pedestrian bridge in the Old Mill District.

The Leadman may be an athletic event. It is also a business.

With a broad blackout, the county would essentially be barring another similar business from operating during a period of Life Time’s choosing. The county should not be limiting business activity because a business wants to block competitors.

But there may be good reasons to block similar events. Can multiple events coexist without overstretching public safety resources?

Can they coexist without inconveniencing public access to roads and recreation sites? And are there so many events that volunteers will be hard to find? The county cannot know before another triathlon event applies and it gets details about the event. And it isn’t only triathlons that could conflict.

It’s not necessary to grant a blackout to ensure the county’s interests are protected or to ensure LeadmanTri Bend succeeds. The county will already consider both when events make applications.

Email address release outrage is overblown

S

ome state workers are upset that their employer gave their home email addresses to a state representative seeking their opinions on money-saving methods.

Rep. Dennis Richardson, RCentral Point, used a public records request to gather thousands of personal email addresses of state employees from a variety of state agencies, according to a report in the Salem Statesman Journal.

Many of those who are upset, the Journal reported, already have a beef with the state over their health plan. They say new provisions requiring them to take a health survey could invade their privacy.

We agree that giving out personal information about state employees isn’t good policy. Richardson backed off immediately when he heard objections, apologizing to those he offended.

It’s also worth considering that the reaction is overblown. Lots

of people have easy access to you electronically, whether through e-commerce or social networking. Your home’s physical address is public record if you own your home. Your phone number is listed for all to see if you have a landline and don’t take steps to keep it unlisted. Some of those methods are potentially far more intrusive than an extra email in your inbox.

On the legal side, the Oregon Department of Justice told the Journal that release of the email addresses is not considered an invasion of privacy.

And Richardson’s purpose was to gather information by allowing the state workers to have input. That’s often something that’s welcomed.

No, your employer shouldn’t give out your personal information, but let’s keep things in perspective. It appears health information is the issue, governed by entirely different laws and rules.

This is a minor sideshow.

West-side parks facility will improve Bend’s community

By David W. Howe y first real job after college was with the Eugene Park and Recreation Department, and I soon became convinced that well-kept and adequately funded public recreation facilities are absolutely necessary to the health, wellbeing and vitality of a community.

Since moving to Bend in 1978, I found that Bend Park & Recreation District is an integral part of what makes Bend special. Our whole family uses many aspects of BPRD; it has definitely added to the quality of our lives, and it is for this quality that many people choose to live in Bend.

Public parks and recreation facilities promote health, fitness and friendships for all participants.

There is no question that individual and community quality of life is enhanced by involvement in programs, whether as a participant, volunteer or coach.

These facilities are funded by all and are available to all. They help paint a picture of and define the spirit of the community. For example, Lincoln City and Madras have just completed high-quality indoor swim and recreation facilities that represent a strong sense of community and a high level of trust between the citizens and their parks agencies. The Juniper Swim and Fitness Center is in the same league or better, and it is clear that the benefits far outweigh the costs.

These are all fun, fulfilling and

M

IN MY VIEW Although it can be frustrating to compete for tax dollars with parks and recreation, most law enforcement officials understand that public recreation programs are an essential element in keeping people busy and out of trouble. healthy places for folks of all ages, and they fill an important need in a way that private facilities cannot, because public and private facilities have different missions.

Public facilities are inclusive rather than exclusive. Most private facilities have to be exclusive to some extent, due to space constraints. They generally do this by making the cost to members high enough to regulate their populations and to pay for their facilities.

The city of Pendleton has a topnotch public pool and waterslide that is accessible to everyone in the community, both size- and cost-wise, and people feel welcome and valued. It would be quite difficult for a private facility to do the same thing and remain solvent. If you have ever visited Pendleton on a hot day, you know the

value of such a facility!

People commit crimes against others in communities where they do not feel welcomed and valued.

Parks and recreation programs provide the community with healthy, interesting, challenging alternatives to hanging out and waiting for something to happen. Although it can be frustrating to compete for tax dollars with parks and recreation, most law enforcement officials understand that public recreation programs are an essential element in keeping people busy and out of trouble.

The reality is that strong recreation programs and facilities are a major crime prevention factor, in addition to enhancing the quality of community life.

Crime prevention, health and fitness, a sense of community: These are worthy goals. The costs of crime, poor health and a lack of community are far higher than the costs of excellent parks and recreation facilities.

Our community is fast outgrowing its public facilities, and though there is a clear need for privately owned clubs, publicly funded recreation facilities are a necessity for a healthy community.

We should all broaden our perspectives and place a higher priority on the long-range benefits for all. If BPRD can come up with a reasonable plan for a new west-side facility, it is in the community’s best interests to support it fully. — David W. Howe lives in Bend.

Segregation of classes prevents the dissemination of values

I

’ll be shocked if there’s another book this year as important as Charles Murray’s “Coming Apart.� I’ll be shocked if there’s another book that so compellingly describes the most important trends in American society.

Murray’s basic argument is not new, that America is dividing into a two-caste society. What’s impressive is the incredible data he produces to illustrate that trend and deepen our understanding of it.

His story starts in 1963. There was a gap between rich and poor then, but it wasn’t that big. A house in an upper-crust suburb cost only twice as much as the average new American home. The tippy-top luxury car, the Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, cost about $47,000 in 2010 dollars. That’s pricey, but nowhere near the price of the top luxury cars today.

More important, the income gaps did not lead to big behavior gaps.

Roughly 98 percent of men between

the ages of 30 and 49 were in the labor force, upper class and lower class alike. About only 3 percent of white kids were born outside of marriage.

The rates were similar, upper class and lower class.

Since then, America has polarized.

The word “class� doesn’t even capture the divide Murray describes. You might say the country has bifurcated into different social tribes, with a tenuous common culture linking them.

The upper tribe is now segregated from the lower tribe. In 1963, rich people who lived on the Upper East Side of Manhattan lived close to members of the middle class. Today, almost all of Manhattan south of 96th Street is an upper-tribe enclave.

Today, Murray demonstrates, there is an archipelago of affluent enclaves clustered around the coastal cities, Chicago, Dallas and so on. If you’re born into one of them, you will probably go to college with people from one of the enclaves; you’ll marry someone

DAVID BROOKS from one of the enclaves; you’ll go off and live in one of the enclaves.

Roughly 7 percent of the white kids in the upper tribe are born out of wedlock, compared with roughly 45 percent of the kids in the lower tribe.

In the upper tribe, nearly every man age 30 to 49 is in the labor force. In the lower tribe, men in their prime working ages have been steadily dropping out of the labor force, in good times and bad.

People in the lower tribe are much less likely to get married, less likely to go to church, less likely to be active in their communities, more likely to watch TV excessively, more likely to be obese.

Republicans claim that America is threatened by a decadent cultural elite

that corrupts regular Americans, who love God, country and traditional values. That story is false. The cultural elites live more conservative, traditionalist lives than the cultural masses.

Democrats claim America is threatened by the financial elite, who hog society’s resources. But that’s a distraction. The real social gap is between the top 20 percent and the lower 30 percent. The liberal members of the upper tribe latch onto this top 1 percent narrative because it excuses them from the central role they themselves are playing in driving inequality and unfairness.

It’s wrong to describe an America in which the salt-of-the-earth common people are preyed upon by this or that nefarious elite. It’s wrong to tell the familiar underdog morality tale in which the problems of the masses are caused by the elites.

The truth is, members of the upper tribe have made themselves phenomenally productive. They may mimic

bohemian manners, but they have returned to 1950s traditionalist values and practices. They have low divorce rates, arduous work ethics and strict codes to regulate their kids.

Members of the lower tribe work hard and dream big, but are more removed from traditional bourgeois norms. They live in disorganized, postmodern neighborhoods in which it is much harder to be self-disciplined and productive.

I doubt Murray would agree, but we need a national service program. We need a program that would force members of the upper tribe and the lower tribe to live together, if only for a few years. We need a program in which people from both tribes work together to spread out the values, practices and institutions that lead to achievement.

If we could jam the tribes together, we’d have a better elite and a better mass. — David Brooks is a columnist for The New York Times.

Francis J. Ertz, born Feb. 3, 1925, son of John G. and Mary R. (Dougherty) Ertz, peacefully passed away on January 27, 2012, in Seasons Hospice, Waukesha, Wisconsin, with family by his side.

Francis (F.J.), throughout his life, lived with passion, character and leadership.

Francis J. Ertz F.J. grew up in the mountains of Nanticoke, PA. He later moved to Reading, PA, graduated from Reading High School and became a Flight Officer with Army Air Corps in World War II. F.J. met the love of his life, Agatha R., his wife of 58 years; she died on October 25, 2008. He was also predeceased by his son, Vinson F. on September 3, 2007.

Frank had a 40-year career with Verizon, retiring as Director of Public Affairs after the Governor of Pennsylvania appointed him Executive Director of the Independent Regulatory Review Commission.

He spent 11 years with the Commission and also served as President of the Tuesday Club of Harrisburg, PA. He touched and shaped many lives with his gift of listening, compassion, and business insight. F.J.’s passion for guiding and mentoring others enabled them to successfully advance in their careers.

He was a devoted family man with his church, friends, and community, known for his charisma and social graces with people and love of helping others.

Surviving are four children, Stephen E., husband of Sharon; Kathleen M., wife of Brad; Jeffrey P., husband of Lori and Gregory J., husband of Caroline. Other survivors include three brothers, Jerry of West Lawn, Jack of Peoria, AZ and Donald, husband of Rose of Reading. There are also ten grandchildren, Jeffrey, Lauren, Nicole, Jessica, Elizabeth, Brittany, Alex, Gretchen, Rebecca, and Hannah; one great-grandson, Vinson and one on the way.

For all those who knew and loved F.J., especially his family, we are grateful he was part of our lives and he will always be in our hearts and spirits‌until we meet again.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, February 3, 2012, at 11 a.m., in Chapel of St. George at Gethsemane Cemetery, 3139 Kutztown Rd., Muhlenberg Township. A viewing will be held one hour prior to services, in the chapel.

Entombment, with full military honors, will be in Gethsemane's mausoleum.

Robert ‘Bob’ C. Wenger May 28, 1951 – Jan. 12, 2012 Bob was born in Minneapolis, MN, to Don and Eleanor Wenger. After moving to Tacoma with the family, he graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Tacoma in 1969.

He attended flight school at Bob C. Wenger the Florida Aeronautical Institute where he received his commercial pilot license.

He attended Tacoma CC, receiving an associate degree in Liberal Arts in 1975. Bob joined the Washington Air National Guard in the early 1970s.

He became a salesman and specialized in electronics. Bob moved to Bend in the early 1990s and began working for Andersch. Most recently, he worked for Javorski & Associates in lighting fixtures.

His love of Cairn Terriers gave him joy and companionship.

His dogs, Rocky and later, Ryder, went everywhere with Bob. He took Ryder biking, walking, swimming and eventually downhill skiing.

Bob was an active outdoor sportsman. He spent time on the slopes of Bachelor or Hoodoo in the winter, skiing in the Bend City League. He rode the Seattle-to-Portland bicycle event several times - even with Ryder, and created special skis and poles for Ryder to ski. Bob spent several years as a guest at ski shows in Oregon and Washington demonstrating Ryder’s unique ability to ski.

Another special interest with Bob was his endeavor to create personal lighting systems. His biggest dream however, was to see the upgrade of dog parks in Bend. He wrote grants and volunteered countless hours for Bend Parks & Recreation. His pride and joy was the Pine Nursery Off-Leash Dog Park. He felt he had a second family with the DogPac folks and worked tirelessly to improve paths and amenities. It was only fitting that he would be at the park, Ryder by his side, when he died of a heart attack.

Bob is survived by his mother, Eleanor of Seattle, his sister, Dona Hochart of Nemours, France, and brother, Kim (wife, Judy) of Eugene, OR, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Donald, and his step-father, Merrill Berger.

Bob was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend to all who had the privilege to know him. He was a gentle person who cared for all - human or canine.

To help keep Bob’s memory alive, the family requests memorial donations be made to: www.dogpac.org or mail to DogPAC, PO Box 2091, Bend, OR 97709.

A memorial will be held this summer at the Pine Nursery Dog Park. Details will be announced later.

FEATURED OBITUARY saddened at the sudden passing of my friend, colleague and business partner,� said Quincy Jones, according to The Associated Press. “Don was a visionary pioneer and a giant in our business. Before MTV there was ‘Soul Train.’ That will be the great legacy of Don Cornelius. His contributions to television, music and our culture as a whole will never be matched.�

Cornelius, a former disc jockey, created the show in 1970 in Chicago on WCIUTV and served as its writer, producer and host. Quickly becoming a success, the show

Sell, or relinquish control of portfolios Under the proposal, lawmakers would either have to sell off their stock portfolios or put them into blind trusts, which would deny them control over day-today trades. Investing in broad-based funds that don’t deal exclusively with a certain sector would still be allowed.

Similar limitations already apply to committee staffers and members of the executive branch, but Congress has exempted itself from such considerations. “Public service is an hon-

was broadcast nationally in 1971, beginning a 35-year run.

Besides the performers, the program showcased young dancers who would strut their stuff, laying the groundwork for countless dance programs, including current hits like Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance� and MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew.� “We had a show that kids gravitated to,� Cornelius said.

In a 2010 interview with The Los Angeles Times, Cornelius said he was excited about a movie project he was developing about the show.

Cornelius stopped hosting the show in 1993, and “Soul Train� ceased production in 2006.

or. It’s a privilege. We should eliminate this sort of blatant conflict of interest,� Merkley said.

Several senators have told him privately that they don’t like the idea, he said. Merkley hoped they would speak on the Senate floor when the matter is up for debate.

‘60 Minutes’ segment The issue came to the forefront in November after the CBS news program “60 Minutes� aired a segment that highlighted ways that they claimed members of Congress had enriched themselves by using information not available to the public.

Rep. Spencer Bachus, RAla., a member of the House Financial Services Committee, began betting that the market would go down after being briefed on the imminent financial collapse by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

As the health care bill was being debated in 2009, thenHouse Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, bought stock in health insurance companies, which increased in value days later when

the public option — which would have pitted government-funded entities against private companies — was eliminated.

In 2008, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her husband bought shares of Visa during an initial public offering, even as legislation concerning credit card companies was under consideration.

Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said her organization supports passage of both the STOCK Act and the BrownMerkley amendment. “It is ridiculous that members of Congress and congressional staff can maintain investments in the entities that they regulate,� she said. “If you’re on (the) Armed Forces or Appropriations (committees) you have no business owning any defense-related stock. Those rules apply to the executive branch, and there’s no reason they shouldn’t apply to Congress.�

Disincentive to run?

Being forced to sell your stock portfolio may be a disincentive for some people considering a run for Congress, but the same disincentive applies to Cabinet members, and people still want to be secretary of defense, she said.

In lots of jobs, people are not allowed to own stock in sectors they could possibly influence, she said. For example, reporters for The Wall Street Journal are not permitted to own stock in an industry they cover. “You don’t go (to Congress) to get rich, and it seems like so many congressmen have lost sight of that,� she said. “It’s not like you’re taking a vow of poverty, but it shouldn’t be a get-rich-quick scheme, either.� — Reporter: 202-662-7456, aclevenger@bendbulletin.com

Cornelius created ‘Soul Train’ New York Times News Service Don Cornelius, the producer and television host who created the dance show “Soul Train,� was found shot dead in his Los Angeles home Wednesday morning in what appears to be a suicide, the Los Angeles Police Department and the county coroner’s office said. He was 75. “Soul Train� was one of the longest-running syndicated shows in television history and played a critical role in spreading the music of black America to the world, offering wide exposure to musicians like James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson in the 1970s and 1980s. “I am shocked and deeply

Continued from C1 Together with Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Merkley has co-sponsored an amendment to the STOCK Act that would require senators to divest any stock holdings that could be affected by their professional activities.

For Merkley and Brown, this covers every stock on the market, since senators regularly vote on omnibus spending bills that touch virtually every part of the economy. “We vote on everything.

We vote on agriculture one day, we vote on energy the next,� Brown told reporters on a conference call Wednesday. “The idea is simple: Senators shouldn’t be voting on issues that affect their financial holdings.� “Insider trading is very difficult to identify, very difficult to prosecute,� Merkley added. “The advantages (with the amendment) are you have something easy to define that prevents conflicts of interest and minimizes the appearance of impropriety.�

Mountain View’s Skotte makes it official with Oregon State Inside

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

In leading Mountain View to its first state football title last fall, Cougar linebacker Joel Skotte made more than his fair share of fans.

“We’re really excited about Joel Skotte,” said Oregon State University football coach Mike Riley, who Wednesday signed Skotte to a Nation-

al Letter of Intent. “He’s a great athlete; he’s a great linebacker. … He’s physically ready to play. He could make an impact right away because he can run and he’s big enough right now.”

Skotte, a 6-foot-2-inch, 225-pound middle linebacker, highlighted a list of Central Oregon athletes that inked NCAA Division I scholarship offers on the first day of the NCAA’s initial signing period for such sports as football, crosscountry, track and field and soccer, among others.

Undrafted players in Super Bowl no longer overlooked

BOXING Mayweather to fight Cotto

• Cougar football player leads locals who sign with colleges on Wednesday

— Bulletin staff report

LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather Jr. got almost everything he wanted Wednesday, receiving a boxing license and naming an opponent and a date for his next fight.

The unbeaten champion got everything except a showdown with Manny Pacquiao.

Mayweather will fight Miguel Cotto on May 5 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden after Nevada’s athletic commissioners granted him a conditional license for one fight before he goes to jail in June.

Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs) chose Cotto (36-2, 29 KOs), the respected Puerto Rican champion, as his next opponent only after failing to land a date with Pacquiao, the superstar Filipino congressman.

The two sides have discussed what’s likely to be the most lucrative fight in boxing history for nearly three years without reaching a deal.

“I presented Pacquiao with the fight,” Mayweather said after meeting with the Nevada commission.

“Pacquiao is blowing a lot of smoke. ... He doesn’t really want to fight. I gave him a chance to step up to the plate. We’re talking about a $10 million fighter that I tried to give $40 million to.”

INDIANAPOLIS — There’s still anger in BenJarvus Green-Ellis’ voice. All NFL teams passed on him four years ago. The New England Patriots running back doesn’t know how so many personnel people can be so wrong.

On 576 career touches, he’s never fumbled.

The Patriots and Giants are both fueled by players overlooked on draft day.

“Drafting is not an exact science,” said Green-Ellis, who rushed for 667 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. “People probably get it wrong more than they get it right. Hopefully they get it right more than they get it wrong, but it just is what it is.

With many seats empty at Duke games, ‘Cameron Crazies’ curb their enthusiasm

By Adam Himmelsbach New York Times News Service

DURHAM, N.C. — After Bri Howington, a Duke freshman, watched the Blue Devils’ men’s basketball team play St. John’s on Saturday, she and two friends left Cameron Indoor Stadium to enjoy the sunsplashed afternoon. They could not discuss the game’s outcome, however, because the second half had not started.

“The corner we were sitting in, the other fans were depressing,” Howington said.

“So we’re going to brunch.”

There is growing sentiment here that Cameron has lost some of its craziness, and there is definitive evidence that it has lost some of its fans known as the Crazies.

About 1,200 seats are earmarked for Duke’s undergraduates, but this season students have filled about 700 per game while classes are in session. Over the past three years, the university has filled the gaps by regularly selling hundreds of student-section tickets to nonstudents, giving the famed Section 17 an unusual look.

Duke fans cheer against St. John’s during the second half of Saturday’s game in Durham, N.C. Known as the “Cameron Crazies,” the Duke student section could be losing its “crazy” reputation.

S B Football • Colts’ owner planning to take time on Manning decision: Jim Irsay is putting the Peyton Manning decision on hold. The Colts owner said Wednesday he will monitor Manning’s recovery from Sept. 8 neck surgery over the next month and may wait until the last possible moment to determine whether to pay the quarterback a $28 million roster bonus, redo the five-year contract he signed last summer or risk losing the four-time MVP as a free agent.

Boxing • Ali trainer dead at 90: Angelo Dundee, the brilliant motivator who worked the corner for Muhammad Ali in his greatest fights and willed Sugar Ray Leonard to victory in his biggest bout, died Wednesday in Tampa, Fla. He was 90. The genial Dundee was best known for being in Ali’s corner for almost his entire career, but those in boxing also knew him as an ambassador for boxing and a figure of integrity in a sport that often lacked it. He died with his family surrounding him, said son, Jimmy Dundee, but not before being able to attend Ali’s 70th birthday bash in Louisville, Ky., last month.

Baseball • Guillen back with Seattle: Carlos Guillen is returning to Seattle after agreeing to a minor league contract with the Mariners. The 36-year-old spent the past eight seasons in Detroit, where he was a three-time All-Star and hit .308 in his career with the Tigers. Guillen started his career with the Mariners from 1998-03. Guillen is likely to compete for a reserve utility role with the Mariners.

Tennis • Wozniacki fires coach: Former top-ranked women’s tennis player Caroline Wozniacki has fired coach Ricardo Sanchez after just two months. Wozniacki’s father Piotr told Wednesday’s edition of the Ekstra Bladet that his daughter didn’t get “new impulses” from working with Sanchez.The Spaniard was hired in early December, only to see Wozniacki fall to defending champion Kim Clijsters in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open and lose her No. 1 ranking.

PREP ROUNDUP

Rangers score 1-0 win over Sabres any day.”

Or nearly every day, given how well Lundqvist has been playing.

It was Lundqvist’s first start since allowing three goals on 12 shots for Team Alfredsson in the first period of the NHL All-Star game at Ottawa on Sunday. And he picked up right from where he left off after entering the break with a 22-save 3-0 shutout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Jan. 24.

Lundqvist now has three shutouts in his past five starts, and allowed five goals on 152 shots he’s faced over that stretch. The shutout was the 41st of Lundqvist’s career, which moves him into second on the team’s all-time list — one ahead of Dave Kerr and eight behind Ed Giacomin.

“I don’t think he’s been at this level.

He’s improved this year,” Rangers coach John Tortorella said, after exchanging a fist pump with Lundqvist in the locker room. “If you want to get to where you want to be, you need goaltending like that. He’s certainly provided that.”

NHL ROUNDUP

The Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. — In what came down to a duel between two of the NHL’s elite goalies, New York Rangers star Henrik Lundqvist proved to be one save better than Buffalo’s Ryan Miller.

Lundqvist stopped all 34 shots he faced through overtime, and four of five in the shootout to secure a dramatic, edge-of-your-seat 1-0 win over the Sabres on Wednesday night.

Miller nearly matched him, stopping all 29 shots he faced through overtime before allowing two shootout goals in a game in which both goalies earned shutouts.

The save-after-save fest was finally decided in the fifth round of the shootout, when New York captain Ryan Callahan drove in on Miller, faked right and then snapped a shot into the open left side.

Lundqvist was elated.

“To win in a shootout and not give up any goals, obviously it’s a good goalie game,” Lundqvist said. “I’ll take that

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Trail Blazers roll past Bobcats in 44-point win Th e Associated Press PORTLAND — Charlotte guard Gerald Henderson said that there wasn’t much the Bobcats could do while suffering the worst defeat in franchise history.

The Portland Trail Blazers led by as many as 48 points and went on to beat the Bobcats 112-68 on Wednesday night.

“It gets to a point where it’s just embarrassing, and you don’t want to continue,” said Henderson, who led Charlotte with 16 points before leaving the game with a right hamstring injury in the third quarter. “So you just have to continue to play hard. I love to play this game, so it’s more of a pride thing than anything.”

Charlotte’s 44-point margin of defeat topped the previous franchise-worst in a 120-80 loss at Denver last March 2.

Jamal Crawford scored 24 points in 21 minutes for the Blazers, who improved to 101 at the Rose Garden this season. Gerald Wallace, traded to the Blazers from Charlotte last year, scored 23 points while LaMarcus Aldridge added 22 before Portland sat all of its starters in the fourth quarter.

It was the Bobcats’ 10th straight loss, their longest losing streak since an 11-game slide from November 2007 to early January 2008.

Charlotte, which has the NBA’s worst record at 3-20, was coming off a 106-73 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night to open a fourgame road trip. Charlotte has now lost 10 straight on the road, dropping to 1-12 away from home this season.

The Bobcats have been beset by injuries. Guard D.J. Augustin has been out with right toe inflammation, and forward Corey Maggette has a left hamstring strain. The extent of Henderson’s hamstring injury was not immediately known.

“I don’t have a full squad,” Bobcats coach Paul Silas said. “That’s the way I look at it. If I had a full squad and we were losing this way, it would be awful. But you take Aldridge and Wallace off their team and see what kind of team you’d have.”

It was a season-high for points for the Blazers, and a season-low for the Bobcats. It was Portland’s largest margin of victory since they beat Dallas 120-75 on Nov. 17, 1997.

Wallace, who is still bitter about the trade, didn’t feel sorry for the Bobcats.

“Personally, I wanted to keep going. I didn’t even want to come out of the game,” he said. “It’s one of those things where, like I said last year around this time, I didn’t feel like I was traded, I felt like I was stabbed in the back.”

Portland led 40-18 early in the second quarter and Crawford hit three straight three-pointers to put the Blazers up 53-25 midway through the period. The lead was 6135 lead by halftime, giving the Blazers their highest firsthalf total of the season.

Portland extended the lead to 79-43 in the third on Wallace’s layup and free throw. Aldridge left the game for good late in the quarter, and most of the rest of Portland’s starters sat down soon thereafter.

“I don’t think I’ve played only 26 minutes since my first year in the league,” Aldridge said.

It got so bad that at one point a fan in the crowd yelled, “C’mon Charlotte!

Make it a game!”

The Blazers were without forward Nicolas Batum, who was out with a left knee bone bruise. Batum, averaging 11.4 points and 4.1 rebounds off the bench, injured his knee in the final seconds of Portland’s 93-89 loss at Utah on Monday. Batum is considered day-to-day, although coach Nate McMillan said he will miss Thursday night’s game at Sacramento.

His absence meant extra playing time for Craig Smith, a free agent acquired in training camp, and Elliot Williams, a rookie after missing all of last season because of injuries on both knees. Smith finished with six points and Williams had four.

The Bobcats shot just 32 percent from the floor, compared to 55 percent for the Blazers.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

No. 6 Baylor narrowly escapes with 63-60 victory over Texas A&M The Associated Press COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Pierre Jackson coming through with the game on the line is becoming a trend for No. 6 Baylor.

Jackson hit a three-pointer with 17 seconds remaining to put Baylor on top and added two free throws to give the Bears a 63-60 victory over Texas A&M on Wednesday night.

It was his second straight game with a big play late after he hit the go-ahead three-pointer in Baylor’s 76-71 win over Texas on Saturday.

Baylor coach Scott Drew wishes he knew what it was about Jackson that causes him to excel under pressure.

“I don’t know, but if we could clone it or duplicate it, we’d inject it in a lot of people,” he said. “The bigger the moment, the bigger the play, the better he performs. You’ve either got it or you don’t and he definitely has it.”

The Bears (20-2, 7-2 Big 12) were up by four points with five minutes left before A&M used a 9-3 run capped by a short jump shot by David Loubeau to take a 60-58 lead with 29 seconds remaining.

Jackson’s second three of the game put the Bears on top before A&M’s Elston Turner missed a three-pointer forcing the Aggies (12-9, 3-6) to foul.

Jackson missed his first free throw attempt, but was fouled again after

the rebound and made the insurance shots.

Loubeau had 16 points for Texas A&M, which was without two starters.

Beavers hope to have found some more hidden gems

Oregon football coach Chip Kelly talks to reporters on signing day, Wednesday in Eugene.

Arik Armstead, a defensive end from Pleasant Grove High School in Northern California, announced on Sunday that he had selected the Ducks over USC, Washington, Notre Dame, California and UCLA. He signed with Oregon Wednesday.

By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

CORVALLIS — Oregon State’s recent recruiting success has come from the ability of coach Mike Riley and his staff to find players that other schools overlook, like the Rodgers brothers.

Years ago, James Rodgers found his way from Texas to Corvallis, and the next year little brother Jacquizz followed.

In 2010, defensive end Scott Crichton didn’t get a lot of recruiting buzz until the Beavers showed interest in him. Last season as a redshirt freshman, he started in all 12 games for the Beavers and set a school record with six forced fumbles. He finished second in the Pac12 with 14.5 tackles for loss.

In 2009, more schools were interested in recruiting in-state star Jordan Poyer as a baseball player. But the cornerback from Astoria was second-team all-Pac-12 last season with 16 passes defended.

So where are the gems in the 2012 recruiting class? Only time will tell.

But Riley feels they’re there. Two top recruiting websites agreed, putting the Beavers’ 2012 recruiting class among the top 40 classes in the nation — not bad for a program that hasn’t gone to a bowl game for the past two seasons.

Oregon State had signed 24 players as of Wednesday afternoon, including 12 on offense, 10 on defense, a kicker and an all-around athlete.

Probably Oregon State’s top recruit was 6foot-3, 280-pound offensive guard Isaac Seumalo. The son of Beavers defensive line coach Joe Seumalo, his choice may have seemed to be a no-brainer, but he also visited USC. Riley said the Beavers didn’t take family ties for granted when going after Seumalo, considered a four-star recruit by several services and one of Oregon’s top prospects.

“We really left no stone unturned when it came to Isaac,” he said.

The Beavers also signed a kicker, Garret Owens, whom Riley happened to notice when recruiting 6-foot-5 quarterback Brent VanderVeen and 6-foot-6, 285-pound offensive lineman Garrett Weinreich. All three were teammates at Arroyo Grande High School in California.

Oregon State, known in recent years for running backs like Ken Simonton, Yvenson Bernard and, of course, Quizz, signed just one, Chris Brown, a 6-foot, 195-pound back out of San Joaquin Memorial in Fresno, Calif.

Riley said the Beavers have plenty of running backs in their program, like freshman Malcolm Agnew, so the position was not an area of emphasis this season.

Riley lamented Oregon State’s loss of Cleveland Wallace, a defensive back from San Jose, Calif., who suddenly changed his mind and decided Wednesday to sign a letter of intent with Washington.

Oregon State had four commitments from cornerbacks, and landed just one, Tyler Hasty of Bellevue High School in neighboring Washington. He is the son of James Hasty, a former AllPro cornerback with the Kansas City Chiefs.

“That’s just the way it went,” Riley said.

From a fall camp besieged by injuries to the season-opening loss to Sacramento State and the final 49-21 defeat by in-state rival Oregon in the annual Civil War, last season was the Beavers’ worst since 1997.

Oregon State ended 3-9 overall and 3-6 in the Pac-12 Conference, finishing out of the postseason for the second straight year.

Lineman highlights Ducks’ recruiting class

By Anne M. Peterson

Oregon signing list

The Associated Press

The Oregon Ducks were assured of one prized recruit a few days before his letter of intent was due on coach Chip Kelly’s desk.

Arik Armstead, a defensive end from Pleasant Grove High School in Northern California, announced on Sunday that he had selected the Ducks over USC, Washington, Notre Dame, California and UCLA. The 6-foot-8, 295-pound Armstead, considered by many to be a five-star recruit, wants to play both football and basketball for the Ducks.

On Twitter, he proclaimed: “Eugene here I come.”

It became official on Wednesday, when the Ducks announced their 21-member 2012 recruiting class. Oregon signed eight players on offense, 10 on defense, two athletes and one specialist, a punter.

“Everybody we got we anticipated getting,” Kelly said. “We kind of knew where we stood with everybody.”

Kelly, who said Armstead will be a defensive lineman, visited him at his Sacramentoarea home last week.

“I just liked how honest he was, and he really sold Oregon on me,” Armstead told the Sacramento Bee newspaper. “Oregon coaches never talked bad about any other program. So many do that negative recruiting. Oregon recruited me without really recruiting me.”

Armstead, who had long ago verbally committed to USC but changed his mind, plans to enroll in school early and major in sports marketing. He announced that, at least for football, he’ll wear No. 9 in honor of an uncle who passed away.

An intriguing prospect in Oregon’s 2012 recruiting class was 6-foot-8, 300-pound offensive tackle Kyle Long, son of NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long.

Long went to Florida State to play baseball but struggled to adjust and then got in trouble when he was arrested for driving under the influence. The 23-year-old played two seasons for Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Calif.

“Just a tremendous prospect that will have an opportunity to come in and play right away,” Kelly said Wednesday. “Athletically he can play defensive line anywhere in the country but I think he’s looking toward the next level.”

Long has one year of eligibility left, but the Ducks are expected to petition the NCAA for another.

Oregon added two tight ends, Evan Baylis of Grandview High School in Aurora, Colo., and Pharaoh Brown from Lyndhurst, Ohio, who will shore up the position after the departure of senior David Paulson.

Signee Stezon Bair, a 6-foot-9, 265-pound defensive lineman from Iowa Western Community College, is the younger brother of former Oregon defensive tackle Brandon Bair, who now plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Ducks also signed twin 5-foot-11 defensive backs Eric and Stephen Amoako from Martin High School in Arlington, Texas.

As a junior, Skotte led the state with 162 tackles and helped the Cougars advance to the Class 5A state semifinals. This past season, Skotte led Mountain View with 89 tackles in addition to rushing for 644 yards and eight touchdowns during the Cougars’ state title run.

“In our opinion, we got the best two players in our state in Isaac Seumalo (an offensive guard

season for the Ducks.

First, former Heisman finalist LaMichael James announced, as expected, that he would skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

Then fellow running back Kenjon Barner announced that he would stay with the Ducks for his final season.

Probably the biggest surprise came when quarterback Darron Thomas decided he too would bolt for a chance at the pros. The junior signal-caller went 23-3 as a starter for the Ducks, but some questioned his decision to leave school early.

Then Kelly flirted with leaving Oregon for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but after numerous discussions with the NFL team, the coach said in a statement that he had “unfinished business” with the Ducks.

from Corvallis High) and Joel Skotte,” Riley said from OSU’s Gill Media room in a conference call with reporters from around the state.

Skotte was rated as a three-star athlete by the recruiting website Rivals.com and was listed as the No. 5 overall prospect in Oregon.

“I love a middle linebacker that’s also a runner,” said Riley, who compared Skotte to former OSU all-Pac 10 linebacker Keaton Kristick. “I love the combination of a linebacker and sprinter.”

Four local soccer players also signed NCAA Division I scholarship offers Wednesday. Summit’s Kristen Parr and Bend High’s Maryn Beutler committed to the University of Oregon, while Hayley Estopare, also of Summit, signed with the University of Arizona and Mountain View’s

Alabama stocks up on signing day

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press

Every coach claims to have a great national signing day. Nick Saban actually does — every year.

By lunchtime on Wednesday, the Alabama coach had most of his latest highly rated recruiting class locked up.

“He’s the best at (recruiting) in the country,” said Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network. “Over the last five years, nobody has been better at it than Nick Saban.”

The national signing period for high school football players opened with the usual plethora of pick-a-cap news conferences and a few high-profile flip-flops.

New Ohio State coach Urban Meyer showed that a year away from coaching didn’t hurt his ability to recruit. Meanwhile, Meyer’s old school, Florida, followed a mediocre season with a promising signing day — despite having Southern California pluck a couple of blue-chippers from Gator country.

Missouri didn’t need to leave the state to make the biggest grab of all on signing day, getting a letter of intent from the nation’s most celebrated prospect, receiver Dorial Green-Beckham from Springfield, Mo. In Tuscaloosa, Ala., there were no surprises for the national champion Crimson Tide.

And that was a good thing because Saban and his staff had already lined up a class that most of the analysts had ranked as either the best in the nation or very close to it.

“There was little intrigue or drama to this class,” said Allen Wallace of SuperPrep Magazine.

No, just talent.

The Tide swept through the South to reload with 26 signees. Alabama went to Baltimore to get wide receiver Cyrus Jones, down to Lynchburg, Va., for defensive tackle Korren Kirven — one of the few late additions — scooped up eight players from Georgia, three from Florida, picked up a quarterback, Alec Morris, from Texas, and even dipped into LSU territory to grab highly touted safety Landon Collins from Geismar, La.

Return of Urban The Buckeyes’ recruiting coaches — as opposed to their coaching coaches — did a bang-up job with Meyer’s first Ohio State class.

You might remember Michigan wasn’t pleased with the fact that Meyer and the staff he was assembling was allowed to recruit while the old staff was preparing the Buckeyes for their bowl game. The NCAA signed off on the arrangement. This just after Ohio State was handed a one-year bowl ban for transgressions under former coach Jim Tressel.

Considering Meyer’s track record, simply having him on Ohio State’s side was probably all the advantage the Buckeyes needed.

Meyer’s class was a consensus top-five, loaded with defensive linemen, including Noah Spence from Harrisburg, Pa., and Adolphus Washington from Cincinnati. The Buckeyes got a late boost when offensive tackle Kyle Dodson from Cleveland switched from Wisconsin to Ohio State on Wednesday.

“We had to have him,” Meyer said of Dodson.

Dodson was one of at least a half dozen players who switched commitments to play for Meyer.

“He’s done an amazing job flipping kids away from schools like it was easy as can be. And it’s not,” said Mike Farrell, national recruiting analyst for Rivals.com.

Michigan did OK for itself, too. Coach Brady Hoke’s recruits received high marks from the experts and stacked up nicely with Ohio State.

So signing day was just like the old days in the Big Ten. There was Ohio State and Michigan, then everybody else.

Florida Trojans With NCAA sanctions kicking in at USC, Lane Kiffin had 10 fewer scholarships to hand out this year.

While the quantity is down, the quality of the Trojans’ class was not, and Kiffin’s crew made a couple of big scores in Florida on signing day.

Defensive end Leonard Williams from Daytona Beach, Fla., and receiver Nelson Algholor from Tampa both chose the Trojans.

After announcing his decision on ESPNU, Algholor said he was looking forward to catching passes from Matt Barkley, who decided to return for his senior season.

Looks like Kiffin can thank his quarterback for that victory.

Torie Morris signed with Portland State University.

Parr and Estopare were instrumental in Summit’s run to the 2010 Class 5A girls state soccer championship, and Beutler was named the Gatorade Oregon Girls Soccer Player of the Year her junior season, also in 2010.

Several other local soccer players announced where they would play next season. Mountain View midfielder Madison Shore signed with NCAA Division II Western Oregon, and goalkeeper Courtney Shearer, also of Mountain View, committed to D-II Seattle Pacific University.

Summit’s Rianna Aylward (Wesleyan University), Bend High’s Zoe Kilmer (University of Redlands), and Sisters’ Michelle Young (George Fox University) all accepted offers to play NCAA

Division III soccer, while Mountain View’s Tash Anderson announced her intentions to play at NAIA Walla Walla University.

Cross-country standouts from Summit High are also expected to sign scholarship offers during the NCAA’s initial signing period. Storm seniors Megan Fristoe and Ashley Maton have verbally committed to the University of Oregon, while their teammates.

Sara Fristoe and Kira Kelly, are expected to sign with Oregon State.

The NCAA’s initial signing period for football runs from Feb. 1 to April 1, while soccer, crosscountry and track and field athletes have from Feb. 1 to Aug. 1 to sign National Letters of Intent.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Duke Continued from D1 “Now you see some empty seats, and you see some adults in there,” said Bill Hoines, a season-ticket holder who has been attending Duke games for 45 seasons.

At many universities, signs of a declining fan base would be met with a shrug.

But at Duke it is more complicated because basketball is an inextricable part of the culture.

Students camp in tents for months to be first in line when the Blue Devils face North Carolina. Before each game they receive printouts on how to heckle the opponent. And during play they stand and synchronize chants and gestures that are later copied at arenas across the country.

This is all part of the charm, part of why the Cameron Crazies are envied and vilified, and part of the reason the identity of the university seems shaken by the recent slowdown.

“We’re fiercely loyal to each other and very defensive and proud, and I think this has struck a nerve,” said Norm Bradley, a 2001 graduate who was in charge of monitoring the lines of students waiting to enter Cameron during his senior year.

“It’s almost like the students don’t appreciate what a privilege it is.”

It is unclear why the Cameron Indoor Stadium experience is shifting. Many students blamed a mixture of academic pressures, Greek life and long lines, but those factors existed during boom times as well.

“A lot of students just don’t think these players are that exciting,” Howington said.

Interest could also be cyclical. During the 1999-2000 season there were often empty spots in the undergraduate student section, and that Duke team included future NBA players Shane Battier, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Jason Williams.

The next year, 100 undergraduate student tickets were redistributed to graduate students.

“The student section, just like the team, changes every season,” said Rebecca Wilusz, a head usher of the graduate section who was an undergraduate at Duke and is now working on her doctorate in biomedical engineering. “Students learn to fill new roles, but it takes time.”

Undergraduates begin lining up hours before tipoff and are admitted on a first-come-first-served basis. There is no charge for admission, and there is no guarantee of entry or warm weather. And the recent downturn has made lines and wait times shorter than ever. Undergraduates regularly receive text messages from student groups telling them that lines are bearable and seating is plentiful.

“We’re trying to debunk the myth that you have to camp out overnight or be outside for 10 hours to get into a game here,” said Duke’s director of marketing and promotions, Mike Forman.

Three seasons ago, the university began opening some student seating to donors and season-ticket holders. About 10 days before each non-marquee game, Forman and student representatives agree upon an estimated attendance figure. The remaining tickets are then sold for $65. About 400 were sold for the Jan. 19 game against Wake Forest.

“The students that don’t come out anymore, I wish they would come back,” Blue Devils freshman guard Austin Rivers said.

Forman said students have never been turned away because tickets to their section were distributed to others.

He added that university officials would prefer to see Section 17 full of students rather than of paying customers. But most of all, they just want it full.

When the clientele is mixed or seats are empty, students said, Cameron does not feel very crazy.

“I want to be loud and obnoxious and make the other team play bad, and now it’s like you can’t do that in there,” said Michael Murphy, a Duke senior who left the St. John’s game at halftime

Students camp in tents for months to be first in line when the Blue Devils face North Carolina. Before each game they receive printouts on how to heckle the opponent. And during play they stand and synchronize chants and gestures that are later copied at arenas across the country.

This is all part of the charm, part of why the Cameron Crazies are envied and vilified, and part of the reason the identity of the university seems shaken by the recent slowdown. with a large group of his fraternity brothers.

Forman said the university would consider ways to re-establish the magic of Section 17.

In 2007, an online ticketing system was created for undergraduates. But some students validated tickets and then did not go to games, and others did not go to games because they had forgotten to validate, so the system was shuttered midway through the season.

Currently, graduate students are entered in a ticket lottery after participating in a weekend campout during the fall semester. If they are selected, they can purchase season tickets and do not have to wait in lines. They are seated behind the baskets, and their sections have been mostly packed this season.

These graduates could eventually spread into the prime real estate of the undergraduates, or the undergraduates could adopt a new ticketing procedure. But before that is even considered, ardent Cameron Crazies are focused on re-energizing the fan base of a team that won a national title two seasons ago and is ranked No. 7 in The Associated Press poll.

“A lot of my friends are mad about how we’re giving away seats because we can’t even fill the section,” sophomore Jonathan Hafferkamp said. “But the thing is, they don’t care enough to go to games to fix the problem.”

After Duke’s student newspaper, The Chronicle, reported Section 17’s attendance figures last week, there was a groundswell of enthusiasm and peer pressure among students. Alexa Barrett, a freshman, said some of her friends spent Friday night in sleeping bags on a sidewalk outside Cameron.

“Even people who don’t usually go to basketball games, people now are dragging them out of bed and saying, ‘Come and wait in line with me,’” Barrett said.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski made a plea before the St. John’s game, saying, in part: “This Saturday let’s be out there at noon and be the Cameron Crazies. If you don’t want to do it, then don’t, but it will be a mistake. I think sometimes you just take things for granted.”

Of course, it is not as if Cameron Indoor Stadium is being confused with the student library. And with coming home games against rivals Maryland, North Carolina State and North Carolina, there is likely to be a considerable surge in attendance.

“I think a lot of these students have been spoiled by winning, I really do,” said ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale, who has covered games at Cameron for 32 years.

“But the adrenaline and the electricity are still special.”

There are still students dressed up as stormtroopers and hot dogs, there is still enough blue face paint to coat a house, and there are still clever catcalls.

Against St. John’s, the Crazies responded to turnovers by chanting, “You let the whole team down!” The chants were directed at the Red Storm, but they also could have served as messages to the students outside Cameron on this sunny afternoon.

Bryan Sov, 41, left, looks out at the scenery, while his 1-year-old daughter Ivanka Sov chooses her spot to fish at the Bend Pine Nursery Pond in Bend Sunday afternoon.

Ponds Continued from D1 Jefferson County, Shevlin and Prineville ponds are open to fishing for youth ages 17 and younger only — though parents should not be discouraged from helping their kids cast and reel.

“Even though those (ponds) are youth only, we encourage parents to take their kids there and help their kids learn the angling craft,” Hodgson says.

The Bend Pine Nursery Pond, in northeast Bend, is open to fishing for all ages.

The Pine Nursery and Prineville ponds offer rainbow trout, bluegill and bass.

Shevlin Pond contains rainbow trout only, and Jefferson County Pond is fishable for rainbow and brown trout,

bluegill and bass.

The catch this time of year will most likely be trout, as those other warm-water species are inactive during most of the winter.

“The other species have pretty much shut down feeding this time of year,” Hodgson notes.

Sinking worms or PowerBait near the bottom is the most effective way to fish the ponds any time of year, Hodgson advises. Spinners and Rooster Tails can also land trout in the wintertime.

All the Central Oregon ponds are susceptible to being covered with ice during the winter, but Shevlin is the most likely to be frozen.

“With the relatively warm weather we’ve had, there could be some open spots that would

NFL:SUPER BOWL XLVI NOTEBOOK

P ats’ Gronkowski skips practice days before game INDIANAPOLIS — Rob Gronkowski still hasn’t practiced with the New England Patriots for the Super Bowl, sidelined by a high left ankle sprain four days before the game against the New York Giants.

“He’s day to day,” coach Bill Belichick said after Wednesday’s practice. “He’s getting better, but we’ll just take it day to day.”

The All-Pro tight end hasn’t worked out with his teammates in Indianapolis. The Patriots practiced Monday and Wednesday and held meetings and film sessions Tuesday.

Gronkowski also missed the last two practices in Foxborough, Mass., on Thursday and Friday.

Gronkowski, who set an NFL single-season record for the position with 17 touchdown receptions, was hurt late in the third quarter of the 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game Jan. 22.

He had worn a protective boot for a week until shedding it Monday. He said at Tuesday’s media day his ankle was improving daily. But he wouldn’t say if he would play Sunday.

All Giants on deck The New York Giants had perfect attendance for their first Super Bowl practice in Indiana.

Running back Ahmad Bradshaw, linebacker Jacquian Williams and receiver Hakeem Nicks all worked on a limited basis Wednesday at the University of Indianapolis.

The Giants were loose during their 80-minute workout on at the Greyhounds’ FieldTurf practice field — the same type of surface they will play on Sunday against the New England Patriots.

“This was a good, spirited, up-tempo practice,” coach Tom Coughlin said. “There are a few things we will clean up, obviously, and we want to be better tomorrow and build to our best work on Friday.”

Bradshaw, who has been restricted to one practice a week with a broken bone in his right foot, was a surprise participant.

Coughlin had said earlier in the day Bradshaw would not practice.

However, the extra time off after the NFC title game win over San Francisco helped him get back on the field.

Vinatieri kicks Adam Vinatieri lined up a Super Bowl kick and let it fly, straight through the yellow uprights. Several dozen fans surrounding the netted area applauded and cheered.

What did it win? A few smiles, nothing more.

That’s how the kicker’s longawaited week is going.

One of the most successful kickers in Super Bowl history lost his chance for another title-game winner when the Colts fell apart this season.

Instead of doing Super Bowl media interviews in downtown hotels on Wednesday, Vinatieri was down the street at the convention center, participating in an NFL Experience fan event.

“As much as I love the fans, this is a lot of fun but it doesn’t compare to being on the field,” he said, in an interview. “It was a tough year for us. We never really had a chance at the Super Bowl after halfway through the season. You miss it. You yearn for it, and you’re thinking about it a lot, just reliving memories.”

His best ones came with New England. His 48-yarder as time expired beat St. Louis 20-17 in 2002. He also had a 41-yarder with 4 seconds left that beat Carolina 32-29 in the 2004 Super Bowl.

Vinatieri moved to Indianapolis as a free agent after the 2005 season and won another Super Bowl in 2007. He’s been on four league champions and is the only kicker to appear in five Super Bowls — three with New England. Now, New England could win another without him in the Colts’ place.

enable kids to cast from the bank,” Hodgson says of Shevlin Pond. “We don’t encourage ice fishing (on the ponds) — it’s just too dangerous.”

Shevlin Pond is the only one of these ponds that is not filled by irrigation water, according to Hodgson. The cool water of Tumalo Creek feeds Shevlin Pond, in which some rainbows grow to 10 inches long.

The Bend Pine Nursery Pond is filled with irrigation water from nearby canals.

Hodgson says biologists are still experimenting with how to optimize angler opportunity at Pine Nursery Pond.

The trout, he explained, can have difficulty surviving in the warmer irrigation water of summer.

But he says most of the trout in all the ponds survive the

harsh Central Oregon winters.

This coming spring, according to Hodgson, the ODFW will supplement its regular stocking program for the ponds with trophy-sized rainbow trout from the Desert Springs Trout Farm near Summer Lake. The fish range in size from 12 to 16 inches long and are scheduled to be stocked in the four ponds in April or May. Children 13 and younger do not need a fishing license, while those ages 14 to 17 are required to have a juvenile license that costs $9. Adults do not need a license ($33) if they are helping a child fish, so long as they are not fishing themselves, according to the ODFW.

Super Bowl

are you going to take advantage of it? In the NFL, there’s a bunch of talented players, but who takes advantage of the opportunity? That’s what’s important. A lot of guys in this game have taken advantage of it.”

Belichick seeks this type of atmosphere, too.

“That’s how Bill is,” McCourty said. “He works hard and it trickles down through the whole organization. Everyone here feels like they have a purpose and they want to get it done for the person next to them.”

Cruz played in front of fewer than 10,000 fans at Massachusetts. Running back Danny Woodhead entertained some 3,000 at Chadron State.

Center Dan Connolly, the pride of Southeast Missouri State? There were 3,212 in attendance at his Senior Day in 2004.

Now they’ll all get a chance to have their say in the biggest sporting event in the world.

Last season’s Super Bowl was the most watched television program in American history.

If you’re good, Connolly says, the NFL will find you.

“It’s good to have other guys around who have been through the same things I’ve been through,” Connolly said. “I think it builds team character to have guys who really had to work hard to get to where they are. . . . I didn’t get drafted. I’ve always had to prove myself. I’m constantly having to do it so it’s always in the back of my mind.”

Maybe the Patriots are forced to lean on Green-Ellis instead of their model-dating, first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback. In the AFC championship game — with Tom Brady shooting blanks — Green-Ellis rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown.

He could be the difference Sunday.

And more likely, the Giants will need another breakout game from Cruz to win.

A week ago, he torched San Francisco. Cruz never imagined playing in a Super Bowl.

But this weekend at Lucas Oil Arena, a first-rounder (McCourty) stands between him and a ring.

It’s no secret what got these undrafted players here.

“Just incredible persistence, not taking ‘no’ for an answer,” Cruz said. “Every resource that I had, I used it all. That’s what brought me here.”

Continued from D1 New England and New York have 22 combined undrafted players — plus undrafted guys they’ve signed from other teams. The Patriots lean on players such as Green-Ellis, wide receiver Wes Welker, guard Brian Waters and center Dan Connolly.

The Giants’ resurgent passing attack was spiked by Victor Cruz. The salsa-dancing bolt of lightning opened eyes in the 2010 preseason and broke onto the scene this year with 82 catches for 1,536 yards and nine scores.

The window for undrafted players to make an impression is microscopic. Time is short, so urgency runs high.

Disposable undrafted players have one, maybe two training camps to get noticed.

Belichick, Coughlin and Green Bay’s Mike McCarthy all aren’t afraid to reward roster spots to such players from Anonymous University.

In New York, Cruz took full advantage.

Surrounded by media members Monday, Cruz said he planned to soak this week in.

Within his first few hours in Indianapolis, he had already taken 50 photographs. Cruz freely spoke Spanish with one reporter and said he doesn’t want this moment to end.

That’s because Cruz, buried on scouting reports out of Massachusetts, can appreciate the opportunity. He’s walking irony. Cruz wasn’t even invited to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis but is here for a Super Bowl. Cruz needed a pair of pro days to simply fight his way onto the NFL radar.

Some teams are willing to roll the dice. Others are not.

“There are so many guys that you’re essentially just taking a chance on,” Cruz said.

“Some guys just slip under the radar. Once those hidden gems kind of get figured out and somebody sees them and they get their opportunity to make the best of it, then it’s a great opportunity. It’s a great shot that they took. If they don’t, then it’s another one bites the dust.”

New England cornerback Devin McCourty, a first-round pick in 2010, agrees. He says it comes down to the individual.

“I think some guys work hard,” McCourty said. “Everyone says, ‘overlooked’ but just once you get that opportunity,

COMMENTARY

Fly-fishing in the foothills of the Andes GARY LEWIS

T

he wind they call “La Escoba de Dios,� the Broom of God, howls out of the west at the southern end of South America. Everything bends like the grass before it and all that does not belong or is not pure is swept away, leaving the land’s end immaculate, barren.

Coyhaique, in Aysen Patagonia, sits at a confluence of waters at the foothills of the Andes, where green pastures give way to timbered ridges and high, rugged peaks.

It was January, high summer. Hoppers clung in the tall grass on the high banks of the Boca de Leon. We started in a shallow run with my old friend Gaston Urrejola at my shoulder and guide Ives on the bank to spot trout. I used a 4-weight, 10-foot Orvis Helios with the new Hydros line and powered my casts into the wind.

At the end of my leader was a Gaucho pattern I picked up at Fly and Field Outfitters in Bend with a tiny Prince nymph and a No. 16 Pheasant Tail for the droppers.

We started each new run from the hole below, concealed by boulders, with casts into the tailouts then successively higher. Trout rose to take the dry, but most often they ate the nymph and streaked to the surface when they felt the steel.

In January, February and March, the speckled rainbows and browns look to the sky for their protein. Under a linga tree, a beetle dropped in front of me. Chiasognathus granti, a male, his jaws were up, ready for battle.

Whether he had just been knocked off the branch by his mate, his rival or the Broom of God, he was in no mood to be trifled with.

I trifled with him with a camera and fly box, where the imitations paled next to the real thing. Only a 1/0 hook and a couple of inches of closed cell foam can do such a creature justice. No wonder the fish look up.

We drove to the upper reach of the Rio Simpson and folded ourselves through a field fence to get to a long riffle along a pasture bank. It looked like the Henry’s Fork in Idaho and

On a mountain lake, fishing a streamer pattern at the end of the day, Bend resident Melanie Lupien brought this great rainbow trout to hand.

we fished it the same way, with long casts on long leaders. I switched to a 6-weight Cabela’s LSi and a hopper with a dropper. This time the wind was at our backs, which didn’t make the casting easier when it came in gusts of up to 40 mph.

The fish were bigger, but the wind, the current and the trout and I were unable to reach a consensus on how we would work together. I finished out that reach with three rainbows and a Chinook smolt brought to hand.

Back at the Coyhaique River Lodge, Julio laid an appetizer before us, carpaccio, the thinsliced loin of el liebre, the wild hare, marinated in lemon and lime and served with capers, olive oil, chilis and parmesan.

In the morning, Joyce Norman brought Melanie Lupien up to the lodge. Both ladies hail from Bend and had already been a month in Patagonia.

It was Melanie’s birthday and she would fish with us at Panda Lake, a three-hour drive from the lodge, the last half-hour a four-wheel scramble up a grassy hillside.

We were surrounded by rugged peaks like the battlements of a fortress. Above us, condors rode the wind off the Pacific Ocean that blows through to Argentina. The rainbows, descended from those first fish brought from los Estados Unidos, grow to 30 inches or more. Our guide, Claudio, recommended big foam beetles to which we tied 3 feet of 2X tippet knotted to No. 12 beadheads. For these

fish, I opted for my 7-weight Beulah.

We cast to shore and to the dark line where the shallows gave way to deep, blue water. Rainbows, as big as silver salmon, elevated to take the bug on the surface or pull the nymph down. One fish, a 25incher that I hooked 20 feet off the tip of the rod, tore out 90 feet of line and 40 feet of backing in one long run.

Melanie’s first fish popped her leader when she closed her hand around the reel. Freed, it leaped toward the sky a half a dozen times. A few minutes later, she had another chance and this time brought a big trout to the boat.

After he put the camera down, Sam Pyke waved the Beulah wand and conjured two speckled giants. Both Melanie and Sam landed the biggest trout of their lives. Of the fish I brought to hand, the average stretched the tape to just more than 23 inches.

We passed through Rio Ibanez, Las Horquetas Grande and El Blanco. Melanie said she remembered when small town America looked like this.

Patagonia’s fishing too, a lot of people say, is like fishing Idaho, Montana and Central Oregon in the 1950s.

Take a trip back in time. If you are pure, you might get to stay.

FISHING REPORT

Hatches provide good fishing on Metolius Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: CENTRAL ZONE BEND PINE NURSERY POND: The pond is open to fishing year-round but may be iced over in winter.

BIKINI POND: Bikini Pond has been stocked for the winter, and anglers are reporting good fishing. There is great access for kids or anglers that need easy access.

CRESCENT LAKE: The lake is accessible at the resort only.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: The fishing has been excellent, with fish over 20 inches long being reported.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Pelton Regulating Dam): If you’re looking for some solitude, now is a great time to fish for trout and steelhead on the lower Deschutes. Anglers should try tactics with slow pre-

sentations such as nymphs or a jig and bobber. Lots of steelhead remain in the lower river around Maupin.

FALL RIVER: There is some dry-fly action, but anglers are reporting better luck using nymphs.

HOOD RIVER: A few bright winter steelhead are being caught on the lower Hood River. Recent high water should have brought some new fish into the river.

The number of steelhead in the river will continue to increase as the winter progresses.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good.

Insect hatches should offer lots of opportunities for good dry-fly fishing.

OCHOCO CREEK UPSTREAM TO OCHOCO DAM: Angling is restricted to artificial flies and lures only; two trout per day and 8-inch minimum length.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Anglers have reported catching larger trout than in recent years.

SHEVLIN YOUTH FISHING POND: The pond is open to fishing year-round but may be iced over in winter.

Shevlin Pond is open to children 17 years old and younger, with a bag limit of two fish.

FLY-TYING CORNER

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

CDC Pale Morning Dun, courtesy Camp Sherman Fly Shop.

They call it CDC, from the French “cul de canard,� because it sounds better than duck’s bum. CDC is wispy and buoyant and presents a wing-like profile.

Tied on a pale morning dun imitation, the wing rides low in the water to present an effective spinner imitation.

Keep several of these patterns in your dry-fly box to employ during those glory days of May through September when the PMDs are likely to emerge during the middle of the day. And watch the forecast — cool, overcast days are best.

Tie this pattern with fine yellow thread on a No. 14-18 dry-fly hook. For the tail, use four hackle fibers and split them with thread for a forked tail. Use pale yellow floss for the body. For the CDC wings, tie in a white post (for visibility) then natural CDC on the sides. Trim in a fan shape for uniformity. — Gary Lewis

TRAIL UPDATE Snow brings play opportunities It’s the news we’ve been waiting for: Conditions are finally looking good for winter recreation.

The heavy snowfall has “set up pretty well” and the extreme conditions of the past weeks have “settled out” at the sno-parks and trails above 5,200 feet, said Chris Sabo, U.S. Forest Service trails specialist.

There may still be some backcountry hazards to watch for, he cautioned — trail users can expect some fallen trees from the storms and possible icy conditions from temperatures thawing during the day and freezing overnight.

The area along the Cascade Lakes Highway has received some new snow and the ski and snowmobile trails are in good condition.

Wanoga Sno-park and Wanoga Sno-play Area have not yet been groomed but may be by the weekend, Sabo said.

Conditions in Crescent and south of Sisters at Three Creek Sno-park are icy. Newberry Crater has good snow conditions at the high elevations, but snowmobilers should be cautious in the midelevations, where there are still low-snow hazards.

Six-Mile Sno-park has marginal snow conditions at best.

The low-elevation trails, such as the Deschutes River Trail system and Phil’s Trail, may be in good condition over the weekend.

The forecast includes sunny days with temperatures around 45 degrees — but watch out for possible muddy conditions to avoid damaging vulnerable trail tread.

The view is excellent whatever direction you look once atop The Peninsula in Cove Palisades State Park, near Culver.

n Saturday morning, when I stopped at my friend Jeremy Dickman’s Bend home to pick him up for a hike on Tam-a-lau Trail at the Cove Palisades State Park, his preschool-aged stepson took one look at my Prius sitting in their driveway and said to himself, “A girl car?”

Go ahead, I laughed, too. After dropping the hilarious, sexist tyke off at his grandparents’ house in Redmond, we were soon back under way and cruising north through Terrebonne, high above the Crooked River, and then through Culver as we headed toward Lake Billy Chinook, created in 1964 when Round Butte Dam was built.

I’d only ever been to the area once before, also in the winter, to visit a writer living a few miles west of the lake in Crooked River National Grassland. That was a snowy, wet year, and I remember a white-knuckle drive in my rear-wheel-drive pickup on the packed ice covering Jordan Road, which hugs parts of the lake.

This time, as we descended toward the Crooked River arm of the lake, I saw instead some trucks and boat trailers parked below. I didn’t see any snow, and the only ice around was at water’s edge by the shady beach and, presumably, keeping beverages chilled in coolers in the few boats we saw on the water.

Television in the 21st century is densely populated by hundreds of channels, which means it probably won’t be long before someone will launch an entire channel devoted solely to sitcoms about groups of young, beautiful and unwaveringly clever friends living in trendy urban areas.

For the sake of argument, let’s say the channel is called “Friends TV� and you can hit the remote any time of the night or day and find episodes of “Friends,� “Happy Endings,� “How I Met Your Mother,� and, in the middle of the night when no one really cares, “The Exes.�

Whenever that channel is created — and mark my words, it’ll happen — MTV can contribute its new sitcom, “I Just Want My Pants Back,� premiering tonight with backto-back episodes.

The reasons the young ensemble sub-genre is such a perennial favorite for TV show creators are obvious: You’ve got multiple characters who can fill all kinds of agendas while providing significantly more story possibilities than, say, a sitcom about a married couple with a kid or two. And since every generation passes through its collective 20s and 30s, and everyone is single at one point or another in their lives, and a few people are even good-looking, who couldn’t find something to identify with in that formula?

Created by David Rosen and based on his novel of the same name, “Pants� is about recent

college graduates, on their own in the big city, hooking up, being clever, searching for, well, everything, from a bag of weed, to true love, to hook-ups and, for Jason Strider (Peter Vack), his pants.

Jason works in a low-level job at a casting agency doing things like interviewing little people to portray dancing fruit in TV commercials.

Heretofore, Jason has considered himself a streaker in his personal life — that is, a somewhat rootless young guy on the make for frequent onenighters. But after a six-week dry spell, he hooks up with a beautiful woman named Jane (Kelli Barrett). The next morning, she exits his apartment with his pants, leaving a fake number when he asks if he can call her. Jason’s obsession with finding her again extends beyond his missing pants: He’s belatedly allowing himself to feel more than lust for a hookup.

From here, the series could continue to focus narrowly on becoming “Desperately Seeking Jane,� but, instead, it opens

into a fairly entertaining ensemble show about beautiful, bright people.

The first episode is so overloaded with clever dialogue, it seems in danger of sinking under its own weight. Fortunately, Rosen and his writers calm down a bit after the premiere episode.

In some ways, the strength of the cast is borne out by their ability to make the dialogue credible. And then there’s the fact that they are ridiculously good-looking.

In fact, the “Pants� characters are so smart, so witty and so good-looking, you’d be inclined to hate them if they weren’t also, at heart, just vulnerable enough to be charming.

A & A

Care providers show respect by using a patient’s name Dear Abby: “She Has a Name in Georgia� (Dec. 2) complained that the care staff at the assisted living community where her mother lives calls her “Granny,� “Grandma� and “Mamma.� She found it disrespectful, and I agree with her.

I am an R.N. with two advanced nursing degrees.

Calling a resident “Granny,� ‘‘Dear� or “Honey� is not loving or caring. It is degrading, humiliating and hurtful! It does not matter what the ethnicity of the attendant is; there are standards of conduct and patient’s rights. I suggest “She Has a Name� ask the director of the facility for copies of the standards of care and patient’s rights documents.

The family may want to install a “nanny cam� in the room if it will provide peace of mind.

There are many fine communities where care of the residents is professionally and caringly provided. I hope they are able to find one for their mother. — Retired R.N. and Resident Advocate Dear R.N.: Thank you for sharing your expertise on this subject. I didn’t realize patient’s rights were specified by the documents you mentioned or that how a resident is addressed is covered in them. Other health care professionals responded similarly, and I stand corrected.

My readers comment: Dear Abby: During school and in clinical rotations, we were repeatedly instructed to call clients by their names, especially in situations where memory was impaired. Not only does it help to reorient the patient as to who they are and help them to maintain their identity, but it provides a clear separation as to who is family and who is the caregiver.

The director should not have diminished the importance of the family’s feelings on this matter. I suggest they consider relocating their mother to a

This year you have the flexibility to adjust and the ability to come up with unusual yet excellent ideas. If you are single, you appear to attract many admirers. With your charisma, knowing what you want could be instrumental. Having similar goals increases the odds for success. If you are attached, the two of you start acting like newlyweds. Plan a special trip or long-desired event.

Your creativity surges. Plug it into your work, and other areas of your life as well. GEMINI draws out the kid in you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Say what you will and do what you want, but be conscious of an aftermath or reaction. Some will smile and greet your thoughts positively. But don’t be surprised if someone has a response that is less than desired. Tonight: Scurry out the door.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Curb a need to have things your way. You suddenly could become rigid over a matter as simple as shopping. Loosen up; try other styles. You’ll discover that although different, they too have value. Use caution with overindulgence of any kind. Tonight: As you like.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your smiling ways warm the cockles of many people’s hearts.

When you become too intellectual or are selling your logic, determined to be right, only then can there be a backfire. When making certain alliances, tone down your style, or at least try to! Tonight: The world is your oyster.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Take your time making a decision or verbalizing it. You might not think a project or concept is incomplete, but when new information floats through your door, you will be sure more thought is needed. Stay tuned in to the possibilities. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Listening to others — and you have many “others� in your life — is quite a skill. Sometimes one specific person nearly talks your ear off. Listen to what is being shared within a group of friends and how they foster their own ideas. You might not want to toss different

TODAY DEAR ABBY facility that is more conscientious about the care they are being paid to provide. — Caregiver in Florida Dear Abby: The assisted living staff should not be calling her mother by those names.

The legal term is “elder speak,� or as it is commonly known — baby talk. This infantilizes elders. It is detrimental to their care and contributes to “ageism� — the perception of elders as less valuable than others.

The family was right to speak up and, regardless of cultural considerations, the staff and director should respect their wishes and refer to their mother by her appropriate name. — Shocked R.N. Dear Abby: Failure to address a patient/resident by his or her proper name is a violation of regulations and could be cited during surveys. If the patient preferred a nickname, the care plan conference team (staff department heads, family and patient) needed to make a notation in the care plan to allow the nickname to be used.

Most of this is covered by the Patient’s Bill of Rights and falls under the “right to be treated with respect and dignity.� Using terms like “Sweetie� or “Granny� is a symptom of the staff’s failure to respect the patient’s individuality. They are objectifying and dehumanizing the person and becoming too complacent (or lazy) to learn his or her name. Besides, if an aide approached me and said, “Granny is complaining of pain,� which “Granny� am I supposed to attend to? — Respectful Geriatric Nurse — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ideas on these people, unless you can handle some flak! Tonight: Whatever you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be very tired and drawn. You need to approach a situation with greater transparency.

Others will like that they really know what you are doing. People will naturally support you in a period of conflict. Tonight: Have a longoverdue conversation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your ability to get past a problem and see beyond the immediate interpersonal behavior points to the path of the winner.

You will see that not everyone understands what you are up to.

At this point, you don’t need them to. Don’t feel the need to explain.

Tonight: Extend your boundaries.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Be close to others, yet, as the saying goes, keep your enemies closer. A statement can strike you as off or askew. Conversations are vital and direct. Air out another person’s opinions. Tonight: At home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Others seem to know what they are doing. You most certainly will know nothing until the results come in. You see life in an invigorated, dynamic manner.

Others might overtake a project.

Think positively. Tonight: The only answer is yes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Focus on the task at hand. You easily could become distracted. Honor your sixth sense with an associate or acquaintance who punctuates your days. This sensitivity could be very important, financially and emotionally. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your sense of direction could make all the difference. You are able to make quite a difference by allowing your creativity to flow.

Say what you are thinking to the right audience, and they will think you are a genius. To the wrong audience, you are an idiot. Pick and choose your occasions. Tonight: Start the weekend early.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You have no choice but to deal with a domestic matter. For some of you, this issue revolves around real estate. Discussions become animated. Don’t worry — there simply is passion behind the talks. Tonight: Chill at home. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

is. I’m here to tell you, it’s not as bad as they’re saying.

It’s worse.

No, I’m kidding! It’s not that bad at all. Don’t worry, the most “breathtaking” thing about the hike is the view of

the Cascade peaks. According to the brochure, the trail gains 600 vertical feet in elevation to the high plateau at the top of The Peninsula. Pilot Butte in Bend is close to 500 feet, so if you can summon the will to hike up that, you can do this.

You know how I was saying there was a dearth of ice?

Well, that’s true, but trail did have abundant patches of mud when we visited. Wear your least-loved hiking boots, and be prepared to scrape them off periodically, unless you enjoy carrying extra weight. A hiking stick, ski pole or cane would probably be advisable.

All in all, this hike is about six miles, should you do the relatively flat loop at the top of The Peninsula, which at its northern point, affords views of The Island, which is not actually an island but rather an

isolated plateau farther north on The Peninsula.

According to the brochure, the pristine, 200-acre area that is The Island is “one of the few remnants of pre-settlement ecology” left in the West. It’s probably for the best, then, that it was closed off to casual use in 1997, 11 years after being named a Research Natural Area.

Contrast that with the wellused area where the Tam-alau Trail reaches The Peninsula’s top. Instead of attempting the long loop through muddy soup, we paused and took in the sights of the water and Mount Jefferson in the distance, downed some granola bars and proceeded back downhill. An hour after we’d found the trail proper, we were back at the vehicle.

Continued from E1 We followed Jordan Road south and across the bridge to The Peninsula, the large finger of land jutting north with the Deschutes River arm on its other side.

We drove past the Lower Deschutes Day-Use Area, and headed a few thousand feet farther down the road, parking just inside the entrance to the Upper Deschutes Day-Use Area. Alternatively, you can continue to the larger parking lot down below, but you’ll be adding a bit of distance on to your hike.

Dickman and I managed to do that anyway. First, we walked up the pavement and crossed Jordan Road. So far so good. But just shy of an opening in the fence, Dickman said he thought that path led to the nearby campground, which was true; given the nexus of trails here, one could conceivably hoof it to the Deschutes Campground. But if we’d taken a few steps more, we would have also seen, through the trees, a large sign marking the Tam-a-lau Trailhead.

We wound up back at the vehicle, checked out the map we hadn’t wanted to lug along and retraced our steps, eventually arriving back at the small fence opening and that cheerful sign.

Seeing the large sign reading “Tam-a-lau Trail” felt like a victory after 10 or 15 minutes of walking in circles.

What’s with the name? According to the park brochure (available at the trailhead, should you find it), it’s a Native American phrase for “place of big rocks on the ground.” The term was once shared by a trail that served as a Columbia River trade route. True to its name, a number of boulders rest here and there along the trail.

What’s more, by the time we reached the trail, the sun had broken through the cloud cover, the sunshine increasing the beauty of our surroundings by at least 76 percent.

However, given the trail’s position on the northwest walls of The Peninsula, we walked in shade much of the one-mile hike up. And I do mean “up.” Ask anyone who’s done the hike and they’ll tell you just how steep and tiring it

Living the sweet life along Riviera Maya

By Dudley Althaus Houston Chronicle

RIVIERA MAYA, Mexico — It might prove daunting to pinpoint the exact instant when that “1 percenter” vibe hits you at Mayakoba, an ecofocused luxury resort that’s home to three hotels on Mexico’s Caribbean shore.

At least it was for me.

Was it the surprisingly stress-sapping drive along the forested lane from the front gate to the Banyan Tree hotel, tropical birds and the raccoonlike coati skittering into the undergrowth? Or maybe that first glimpse of the three-room walled villa that I’d occupy, a large plunge pool in the leafy courtyard dividing an airy parlor from the expansive bed and bathrooms?

No, my moment came 10 minutes into the “Balinese” rubdown in the Banyan Tree’s large and trance-inducing spa, with a Thai-trained muscle master named Gerardo work-

ing the knots out of my grateful shoulder blades.

This decidedly is not your spring breakers’ Riviera Maya, that of all-inclusive packages, margaritas and cafeteria-quality food. It’s a shame the other 99 percent of visitors to the Riviera Maya, on the coast below Cancun, are missing out.

“It’s just great for quiet time,” said Jason Yong, 31, celebrating a fifth anniversary with wife Linda Lee after flying in from Boston. “Very Zen.” Tucked into a once-virgin coastline now too often defined by landscape-chewing mega hotels, Mayakoba was envisioned by its Spanish developer — the OHL Group — as a secure, nearly squaremile oasis of rainforest, mangroves and white sand fronting the turquoise sea.

The OHL executives’ idea was to create a tourism experience far different from the beachfront behemoths lining the fragile 80-mile coastline

from Cancun south to the protected 1.3-million acre Sian Ka’an Biosphere.

Mayakoba offers “living proof that luxury travel can go hand in hand with sustainability and support environmental conservation and community wellbeing,” said Daniel Katz, board chairman of the New York Citybased Rainforest Alliance.

Mayakoba’s three hotels — Banyan Tree, Rosewood and Fairmont — hide shoulder to shoulder, cloaked in green. Banyan Tree has oneto three-bedroom villas; Rosewood markets large suites and private residences; Fairmont provides more traditional, if upscale, hotel rooms.

With about 125 rooms apiece, both Banyan Tree and Rosewood aim for the flush and/or famous, selling privacy as much as pampering for anywhere between $650 and $2,000 a night during the winter season. Fairmont, a topshelf Canadian chain, books

its 400 rooms with families and those attending business conventions, with rates ranging from $175 to $300 in season.

Off-season rates are far lower. And rooms sometimes can be had at steep discounts through online booking services such as jetsetter.com.

Many of Rosewood’s suites front canals, giving guests the feeling of staying in an isolated jungle lodge. People staying at the Banyan Tree can retreat into their own villa compounds — hideaways romantic enough for two, big enough for 20. Fairmont sports gorgeous grounds and a complex of fantastic swimming pools, most of them kid magnets, with one reserved for adults.

All three hotels have their own beach club, sporting freshwater pools, though Fairmont’s Las Brisas is by far the liveliest. Mayakoba is not the place for para-sailing, noisy poolside recreation “facilitators” or wet T-shirt contests.

Ski better FITNESS

A IS FOR ARSENIC

• Proficiency at skate-skiing, a popular Central Oregon activity, can be achieved with the right technique

By Anne Aurand

SKATE-SKIING FORM

The Bulletin

T

wo styles of crosscountry skiing that are popular in Central Oregon offer disparate outdoor experiences.

Both are great sources of exercise, but for most recreational skiers who compare classic style to skate-style skiing, skating feels like the more rigorous workout. It demands more from one’s cardiovascular system and upper body — at least until the skate skier becomes proficient.

“I think (skate skiing) is a tougher workout for most people because I think a lot of people don’t take the time to get the training for skate skiing,” said Ruth Ann Clarke, a personal trainer at WRP Training Studio in Bend and a recreational cross-country skier who has done a little racing. “(Skate skiers) who don’t get the techniques down or take time to get lessons, they’re using so much extra power that they don’t need to use.”

See Ski / F5

Lesson learned

Thinkstock

COMMON INEFFICIENCIES IN SKATE SKIING A typical stance of an apprehensive skier. This person is stuck in an arm-centric movement, in a quest to feel safe. But in this position, the skier can’t apply the necessary pressure to the skis to propel efficiently.

Sitting back is a natural reaction for many recreational skiers.

But when the ankles are not bending, muscles do the skeleton’s work and will tire quickly.

Ankles at right angle with skis

Ankles at right angle with skis

MORE EFFICIENT POSITIONS IN SKATE SKIING In a centered, athletic stance, the skier is able to use a dynamic movement that involves more flexion at the knee and ankle.

Hips stay aligned over the ankles, and there’s a decreased angle at the ankle and knee.

The Bulletin

I taught myself how to skate ski a few years back when I lived in Anchorage, where groomed trails crisscrossed the city. Skate skiing offered See a great ‘Skate-skiing outdoor form’ exercise alternative to running during those Alaskan winters. It added an upper body element that running lacked. And it was so much more aggressive than classic skiing that I could get a satisfying workout in about an hour.

By now, I’ve skate skied enough to become adept in my bad habits. I muscle my way through with a lot more effort than necessary, according to all the people who have suggested I get some instruction in technique.

Back surgery made easier • Minimally invasive fusion technique can save collateral damage The Bulletin

Brittney MacNeill, 38, has lived with back pain since she was a teen. A collegiate swimmer and triathlete, she had always been active but paid the price most evenings with excruciating pain. Six years ago, when the back pain from a damaged disk wouldn’t allow her to hold her newborn son, she knew it was time to get it fixed.

Arsenic reported in juice

MEDICINE “I would just hand him off to my husband. Even at 15 pounds, I struggled to carry him,” MacNeill said. “It was (heartbreaking), because I would see moms with their babies in their front packs and I couldn’t do that.”

When physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs and chiropractic treatment didn’t

help, Dr. Anthony Hadden of Northwest Brain & Spine in Bend told her that back fusion surgery might be her last option.

One of the factors that convinced MacNeill to go forward with the procedure was a new minimally invasive technique that Hadden would use, approaching the spine from the side, rather than going through the back.

Brittney MacNeill enjoys time with her sons, Connor, 6, and Riley, 5½ months, at Redmond Gymnastics Academy. Minimally invasive back surgery helped MacNeill overcome back pain.

Fruit juice, a staple of many children’s diets, can be a source of toxic arsenic, according to a recent Consumer Reports investigation.

Consumer Reports researchers found that about 10 percent of 88 samples of apple and grape juice purchased from various points on the NUTRITION East Coast contained Inside arsenic • American levels Academy of higher Pediatrics than 10 recommenparts dations, F2 per bil• How much lion, the juice do kids limit for drink? F2 drinking water established by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Consumer Reports’ January article said this puts consumers at risk for serious health problems, including cancer. Federal guidelines limit drinking water to a maximum of 10 ppb, but fruit juices are not saddled with standards for arsenic.

This is the not the first evidence to emerge about arsenic in juice. It reiterates what “The Dr. Oz Show,” a health-related TV talk show, told viewers last fall after its own testing of juices. And a 2009 study

by University of Arizona researchers, who tested 19 different products including juice, broth and milk, found that many grape and apple juices had levels of arsenic higher than the allowed amount for drinking water.

Consumer Reports also commissioned an analysis of data from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2003 to 2008. The results, based on about 3,000 participants, showed that people who reported drinking apple or grape juice had 19 to 20 percent higher levels of urinary arsenic than those who didn’t drink juice.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not appear to be sounding an alarm on the issue, however. The agency states that consuming apple and grape juice is safe because most samples show only small amounts of arsenic.

The FDA released results from its latest arsenic testing in 94 samples of apple juice in December.

Fish-rich diet may cut heart disease risk in women A new Danish study of 49,000 women of childbearing age suggested that women who seldom or never eat fish may be increasing their risk of cardiovascular disease by at least 50 percent. And, the study said, those who ate fish most frequently — especially fish high in omega-3 fatty acids — had a 90 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease than the nonfish-eaters.

Researchers interviewed a nationwide Danish population of women about how much fish they ate, what types of fish they ate and how often they ate fish, along with other lifestyle and family history questions.

Results were reported in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association. Most previous studies that found cardiovascular benefits of omega-3 fatty acids have focused on men. — Anne Aurand, The Bulletin

EATING FOR LIFE Rosemary cuts need for salt Want to cut down on your salt intake?

Use more rosemary in your cooking.

Throughout the ages, rosemary’s aromatic addition to food has improved the flavor of all kinds of dishes.

Rosemary contains compounds that stimulate digestion, protect the immune system and improve circulation. It is a good source of iron and calcium as well as fiber.

Storage tip: Before storing woody herbs like rosemary in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, wrap stems in a damp paper towel.

Cooking tip: When cutting rosemary, make sure your knife is sharp.

A dull knife bruises the leaves and makes them taste bitter instead of helping to release potent oils.

Fun fact: Rosemary may be brain food: In ancient Greece, students placed sprigs in their hair while they were studying for exams. — McClatchy Newspapers Thinkstock

Children drink juice. A lot. “We’re concerned about the potential risks of exposure to these toxins especially for children who are particularly vulnerable because of their small body size and the amount of juice they regularly consume,� said Urvashi Rangan, the director of safety and sustainability at Consumer Reports.

Consumer Reports reported that one in four children age 2 and younger, and 45 percent of children age 3 to 5 drink seven or more ounces of juice daily.

In addition to juice sampling, the Consumer Reports investigation polled consumers, analyzed federal data and interviewed experts.

Some evidence suggests that chronic arsenic toxicity may result from long-term exposure to lower levels of arsenic.

Chronic exposure can show up first as gastrointestinal or skin problems, according to the report. It can be mistaken for conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome. But over five to 20 years, low-level chronic consumption could increase one’s risk of various cancers, high blood pressure, diabetes and reproductive problems, according to the report.

One study published in the 2011 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found low-level, long-term exposure to arsenic was related to poor scores in language, memory and other brain functions.

Other emerging research suggests that exposure in the womb or early childhood may not only increase one’s risk of cancer, but also can cause lasting harm to a child’s developing brain, endocrine and immune system.

Where does it come from?

There are two forms of arsenic.

As a naturally occurring element, arsenic can enter groundwater used for drinking and irrigation in areas where it’s abundant, such as parts of New England, the Midwest and the Southwest, according to Consumer Reports. The form of naturally occurring arsenic has been around forever, and is generally considered nontoxic although that’s becoming a point of contention. It’s presumably less harmful than human-developed arsenic. The Consumer Reports investigation said questions have been raised about the health effects of organic arsenic. It also said in agricultural products, it had potential to convert into the inorganic form.

The other form is called inorganic, which is not-naturally occurring and is considered carcinogenic. Inorganic arsenic comes from agricultural uses (such as insecticides) and industrial uses (such as a wood preservatives).

Most of the arsenic found in the Consumer Reports samples was inorganic, according to the report, which said that form is known to cause bladder, lung and skin cancer, as well as increase the risks of cardiovascular disease, immunodeficiencies and Type 2 diabetes.

Such arsenic-laden products have been banned in the U.S., but the element can survive for decades in soil and water and can then contaminate food crops, such as apples, said Julie Hood Gonsalves, associate professor of science and health at Central Oregon Community College.

That’s why even an organic juice or food may contain arsenic. By definition, organic foods must be produced without pesticides and in practices that optimize the health of consumers. But the Consumer Reports samples showed more than one organic apple juice contained some arsenic.

Though not used in the U.S., the toxic pesticides can be still used in other countries, Gonsalves noted.

But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says it’s impossible to blame any one par-

Ages 3-5 22 percent 26 29 16

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS JUICE RECOMMENDATIONS The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends infants younger than 6 months avoid juice entirely.

Children younger than 6 years should be limited to four to six ounces of juice per day.

Children ages 7 to 18 should limit juice intake to eight to 12 ounces per day.

What to do? • Eat a variety of foods. That way, if one type of food or juice is contaminated more consistently, you aren’t being exposed to it as often. • Eat the fruit, not the juice. If you do drink juice, minimize quantities and dilute it with water. Drinking the juice concentrates whatever is in the fruit, including calories, sugar and any unintentional additives.

• Don’t panic, but watch the developing stories.

The alarm has been rung. More information and changes in policy will ultimately lead to a safer food supply. But, in reality, it’s unlikely anyone could predict all of the things that may show up in our food supply. Eating a variety of foods will help with this over time.

Consumer Reports’ test findings from 88 samples Five samples of apple juice and four samples of grape juice had total arsenic levels exceeding the 10 parts per billion federal limit for bottled and drinking water. Most of the total arsenic found in the samples was the inorganic form, considered more harmful than organic arsenic.

In apple juice, arsenic levels ranged from 1.1 to 13.9 ppb. Grape juice was generally higher: 5.9 to 24.7 ppb.

In Consumer Reports’ tests, the following brands had at least one sample of apple juice that exceeded 10 ppb: Apple & Eve; Great Value (Walmart); and Mott’s. For grape juice, at least one sample from both Walgreens and Welch’s exceeded the threshold.

More information: www.ConsumerReports.org/juicebox Note: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says: “Testing a small number of samples of different brands of juice only provides a snapshot in time of how much arsenic was in a particular lot of juice. Without a long term survey of many lots of juice from different companies, there is not sufficient data to say one company has lower amounts of arsenic in its juice than any other company.�

ticular country for the arsenic found in juices here. Juice sold by any company might be made from concentrate that can come from all over the world. “For example, Asia and South America are major suppliers of apple juice concentrate. Even if a company buys concentrate from only one supplier in a country, such as Argentina, that supplier may be getting juice from a dozen or more different farms within Argentina. If you test enough juice from such a supplier, you will find some lots with higher amounts of arsenic than others. This could be due to different amounts of arsenic in orchard soils. Testing a small number of samples of different brands of juice only provides a snapshot in time of how much arsenic was in a particular lot of juice. Without a long-term survey of many lots of juice from different companies, there is not sufficient data to say one company has lower amounts of arsenic in its juice than any other company,� according to the FDA. Bigger studies would be re-

quired to establish a link between elevated arsenic levels and any particular country of origin.

Where else is it found?

Arsenic is not unique to fruit juice. It’s also been found in chicken, rice and even in baby food.

Rice, especially rice grown in the U.S., frequently contains high levels of arsenic because the plant is efficient at processing it from the soil, said Gonsalves.

And, according to Consumer Reports, much of the rice produced in the U.S. is grown in the South, on former cotton fields, where arsenic-containing pesticides were once prevalent. One Scottish researcher who studied arsenic in rice found U.S. rice had higher levels of arsenic than that grown in Nepal, India, Pakistan and Egypt.

Setting limits on arsenic Gonsalves said the FDA generally determines safety limits for “unintentional additives� such as arsenic based on normal intakes of the food

and its correlated potential health effects. Typically, if the FDA hasn’t put a ppb limit on something, it’s not suspected as problematic. It can take consumer groups like Consumer Reports or a high-profile media personality like Dr. Mehmet Oz to ignite the question. Those types of awareness campaigns can sometimes be alarmist, but as with this case, she said, it can also help launch a thorough investigation.

Consumer Reports is calling on the FDA to establish a standard of 3 ppb for total arsenic.

The FDA website says the agency “is collecting all relevant information to evaluate and determine if setting (a) level for inorganic arsenic in apple juice is appropriate.�

The FDA collects and tests for arsenic, including inorganic arsenic, in fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates made in the U.S. as part of FDA programs that look for harmful substances in food, according to its website. The agency considers regulatory action as appropriate on a case-by-case response. The FDA also uses an alert system for surveillance of arsenic, including inorganic arsenic, in imported fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates, as a measure to keep potentially dangerous products out of the U.S., the website said. — Reporter: 541-383-0304, aaurand@bendbulletin.com

Who doesn’t know that junk food is bad for you? It’s empty calories, puts on the pounds and is awfully, terribly, almost impossibly hard to resist.

It turns out, though, that you’ll buy less junk food if you put away your credit (or debit) card and always pay cash.

That’s the finding of a Cornell University study in the Journal of Consumer Research.

Unhealthy foods — cookies, potato chips, etc. — are impulse buys, says study author Manoj Thomas, an assistant marketing professor at Cornell. “The pain of paying in cash can curb impulsive urges to purchase such unhealthy food products,” he writes.

We buy fewer of these “vice” foods if we’re paying with real money instead of plastic.

“When you pay in cash, there is something that makes you feel bad — to part with money,” says Thomas. And, his study shows

that “when you feel bad about paying with cash, you start paying more attention to the healthfulness of the food. You start asking yourself, ‘Is this healthy food?

Should I be buying it?’”

Participants in one shopping test bought 42 percent more junk food ($14.07) when they paid with a credit card than those paying cash ($9.89). The method of payment didn’t make a difference on good-for-you groceries. Both the credit and cash groups spent about $17.50 on “virtue” products like oatmeal and fat-free yogurt.

Thomas isn’t saying everyone should stop using credit cards to buy food. But for people who have trouble resisting junk food, “going to the bank, getting cash might actually be worth it because it will help them be more healthy.”

Insurance that’s right for some but not all • Deciding whether a long-term-care policy is a good idea bedevils consumers

Toni Footer with a photo of her late father, Martin Privot. She says his experience “reinforced my already strong feelings that long-termcare (insurance) is a necessity.”

By Caroline E. Mayer Kaiser Health News

In the last years of Martin Privot’s life, his family had to start selling his assets to pay for his nursing home costs.

“He needed 24-hour care and couldn’t be left alone,” recalls his daughter Toni Footer. “My biggest fear was we would run through his money and wouldn’t be able to provide the care that he needed.”

Privot died in 2008, from post-surgical complications and other ailments, before all his assets were depleted. Yet Footer, 61, says her dad’s experience “reinforced my already strong feelings that long-termcare (insurance) is a necessity.”

The Rockville, Md., resident says she pays about $2,500 every year for such coverage for herself. “It’s expensive — in fact, it’s gone up twice — but it’s worth every penny. It provides a peace of mind that my family won’t have to struggle to find money to pay for my care.”

Mary McClelland came to the opposite conclusion after seeing how her mother’s expenses were often deemed exempt from coverage.

Her mother, Ruth Mezick, purchased long-term-care, or LTC, insurance in 1990 at age 78 when she was in fairly good health, paying an annual premium of $2,827 until she died 11 years later. In her mid-80s, her health began to deteriorate and she spent time in a nursing home, at home with help and in assisted living. But her policy — which promised to pay $100 a day — failed to cover much of those expenses because it kicked in only after she had been in one institution more than 100 days.

“She was never in one place long enough to qualify. She ended up getting about 10 days’ coverage, worth about $1,000,” says McClelland, who lives in Arlington, Va. “That was a lesson to me; I decided it doesn’t always pay off.”

The question of whether to get LTC insurance bedevils consumers and their advisers.

Unlike medical insurance, it is intended primarily to cover people who need assistance with so-called activities of daily living — for example, the care of a dementia patient or someone recovering from a broken hip. It can be expensive: Premiums range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year, depending on the age, sex and health of the purchaser as well as the extent of the coverage. And policy de-

tails can be confusing.

Even advocates acknowledge that it isn’t for everyone.

Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an industry group, sums it up well: “Long-term care is a universal issue facing all Americans who are getting older. But long-term-care insurance is not a universal solution.”

So how great is the need for such coverage? It depends on how you look at the data. “One in two Americans are likely to need long-term-care services sometime in their lives,” says Amy Pahl, a consulting actuary for Milliman Inc., a leading actuarial and consulting company. However, Pahl adds, of those who might need longterm care, about a third will not meet the most common deductible period of 90 days because they will either die or recover before then.

To determine if a long-termcare policy makes sense for you, it is important to understand how the coverage works and what’s available.

Medicare and Medicaid Most standard health insurance plans do not cover longterm care. Nor does Medicare or insurance policies that supplement Medicare.

Medicaid, however, is the largest source of coverage for long-term care. The program pays for more than two-thirds of nursing home residents, according to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

But Medicaid comes with significant limitations. The choice of facilities that accept Medicaid is narrow, and the program is restricted to people with extremely limited income and virtually no resources, which forces middle-income consumers to spend down their assets if they want to qualify.

“Medicaid is supposed to be a safety net, but unfortunately it rests just about a half-inch

off the floor,” says Tom West, a Northern Virginia financial adviser and long-term-care expert.

Yet Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger cautions that LTC policies may not be a good investment for some people. “It’s mostly a policy to protect your assets (so you don’t have to sell everything to pay for care) in case you get sick. If you don’t have assets to protect, then you shouldn’t be buying it.” Unfortunately, that can leave those consumers with limited flexibility if they do need long-term care.

How the coverage works Typically, a policy pays a fixed daily benefit ($150 is common) for a certain period of time (often three to five years) starting at a specified time (90 days is common) after the beneficiary becomes disabled. The policy covers nursing home expenses, assisted living charges or less costly in-home-care bills.

Many policies also allow the initial fixed daily benefit to rise 3 or 5 percent annually to keep up with health-care costs. The policyholder agrees to a premium that can increase only if the change is approved by state regulators. Such increases have occurred frequently in recent years and, as a result, once-flat premiums have risen sharply.

So have nursing home costs, which averaged about $214 a day — or more than $78,000 annually — for a semi-private room last year, according to a national survey by the insurer MetLife.

As people’s needs have changed, LTC policies have expanded to cover assisted living and home care; some new policies are flexible enough to anticipate technologies that don’t yet exist, such as robotic care.

“The policies have become very innovative,” says Slome.

“Today you can go in and design coverage for particular needs and desires; you can

even buy long-term-care insurance to enable you to get your care on a cruise line if you want it — and can afford it.”

Today’s policies can also allow couples to share benefits, so a husband and wife can each buy a shorter-term policy, for example three years of benefits. About 70 percent of coverage today is sold to couples, Slome said. If it turns out that the husband needs more than three years’ coverage, he can tap into his wife’s benefit pool. And in some policies, if

the husband completely exhausts the couple’s coverage, the wife may still receive some nominal benefits if she needs care, too.

At the end of 2010, about 7 million Americans had LTC insurance, according to LIMRA, an association of life insurance and financial service companies. About 422,000 new policies were written in 2010.

When buying insurance, the younger the consumer, the lower the annual premiums.

Today, according to Slome’s association, a 55-year-old couple in generally good health can expect to pay $2,675 a year for $338,000 of benefits; that figure would grow to $800,000 by the time they reach 80 if the policy contained a 3 percent annual compounded escalation clause. If they are 65, however, that same policy would cost $4,660 a year and grow to only $527,000 in coverage when they are 80.

Steep rate increases One of the key concerns among consumers is the rise of premiums.

“It’s probably the most frequent complaint I hear,” says Praeger, who heads the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ health and managed care committee.

“The problem is, the older poli-

cies weren’t priced right to begin with. Companies expected about 8 percent of customers to stop paying their premiums, when, in fact the lapse rate is closer to 2 percent.”

That meant the insurers had to cover more beneficiaries than they expected at a time when the economic downturn has meant less return on their investments.

Praeger acknowledges that rate increase requests have posed a dilemma for insurance commissioners. “If we don’t give them the rate increase they need, the insurance carriers could become financially impaired, and that doesn’t help people,” she says. In fact, in recent years, a number of companies have stopped selling policies. As a result, she adds, it’s hard to turn the increases down.

The policies can be very complicated, and Praeger advises consumers to consult with their accountant, attorney or other trusted financial adviser before purchasing a policy.

Adult swim: Lessons aren’t just for kids

By Josh Noel

My first realization is that it is strange to see yourself underwater…. The second was that I was a dreadful swimmer. I had thrashed through the water like a frantic hippo — arms pawing, legs bent and flailing, body barely aloft.

RESEARCH Older runners are slower, but still efficient Runners older than 60 are a fast-growing age group in the sport.

But runners tend to get slower as they get older.

Researchers wanted to find out why running speed generally declines with age, so they studied how a runner’s body uses oxygen, strength and flexibility.

The efficiency in which one’s body uses oxygen while running at a certain pace doesn’t change much with age, according to a recent study from the University of New Hampshire, published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. But, older adults’ “VO2 max,” — the body’s capacity to transport and use oxygen during exercise — is lower than younger runners. Older runners’ maximal heart rates were also lower.

What does it all mean?

“For the runners over age 60, it’s physiologically more difficult to run at that speed,” said lead author Timothy Quinn, who is an associate professor of exercise science at the University of New Hampshire. In other words, it will feel harder.

Older runners fared worse in their strength and flexibility compared to the younger runners, and those weaknesses can make running harder and slower. Quinn says older runners can improve their running with some weight lifting and strength training, especially in the upper body.

It wasn’t as if I couldn’t swim. Drop me in an ocean and I can splash with the best of them. At the hotel pool I usually knock out a few laps. Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than a water slide plunging into 8 feet of chlorine.

But I didn’t swim with much efficiency or grace, and I tired easily. My stroke ESSAY was stuck somewhere around my last lesson, which came at about age 10. And — most relevant — running several times a week was starting to feel rough on the knees and joints. I wanted to mix in another form of exhaustion, and, based on swimming’s reputation for a thorough, but gentle workout, it seemed like an ideal solution.

So I paid $225 for five 25minute private lessons to improve my stroke and maximize the workout. I wasn’t sure adults took swim lessons, but the people at Chicago Blue Dolphins, a swim school, assured me adults do it all the time.

But when that first lesson neared, I had almost convinced myself I didn’t need it. I could swim. I had no fear of the water. Why waste my time and money? It’s just swimming, right?

Not so right.

The ugly truth The first lesson began with John Fitzpatrick, owner of Chicago Blue Dolphins, whom everyone simply calls Fitz, pointing me to one of his two pools that are too small for a swimmer to go anywhere but that generate enough resistance to swim in place. Minutes before, a handful of 6year-olds had been splashing in that same pool with a bunch of bright floating toys.

I waded into the 90-degree water and Fitz followed me in for what I learned would be hands-on training — literally at times. As I tested my new black goggles by swimming around the bottom of the pool, he positioned an underwater camera that would project my stroke onto a flat-screen television just outside of the pool.

Before anything, he wanted to see how I swam. No problem.

After all, I wasn’t even sure I needed the lessons.

Fitz cranked up the jets,

street from my home: “Think about how you move through the water. Don’t worry about how far you go.”

Jumping back in Advice from swim-school owner John Fitzpatrick for adult swimmers who haven’t had a lesson since childhood: • Get the right equipment. There are many goggles out there, so find a comfortable fit.

• Get a suit that fits snugly. Women, get a onepiece with a “butterfly” back. Men, put away the oversize shorts — they have too much drag and can weigh your legs down. If you have long hair

stepped outside of the narrow current (there is room for two swimmers at different speeds in the pool, plus someone like Fitz to stand by and watch), and off I went, chugging hard in the water for about 45 seconds. I felt good. I even started to think I looked quite good.

What was I doing there? Then we watched the video.

My first realization is that it is strange to see yourself underwater (So that’s what fish see!). The second was that I was a dreadful swimmer. I had thrashed through the water like a frantic hippo — arms pawing, legs bent and flailing, body barely aloft. I seemed to be expending more energy trying to float than trying to move forward.

It wasn’t encouraging, but it also wasn’t uncommon. Fitz said about 40 percent of lessons at Chicago Blue Dolphins are given to adults. Many are in the same, ahem, boat as I was. Many more can’t swim at

or if you don’t want it filled with chlorine, get a cap.

• Bring a water bottle. It’s easy to forget, but we sweat into the water. Stay hydrated.

• Swim at the right time in the right lane. Visit the pool during adult lap rather than family swim so you are with like-minded adults. Many pools designate lanes as walking, slow, medium or fast.

Picking the right lane will make things easier for you and will be appreciated by water walkers and college swimmers alike.

all, or are overcoming fear of the water.

For the next half-hour Fitz began the process of reteaching me to swim. He broke down the freestyle stroke piece by piece, making me aware for the first time of swimming’s complexity.

Though half the body does most of the work for biking or running, I realized, swimming is more like swinging a baseball bat: the legs, arms, hips, feet and head all have specific roles in success and efficiency. Unlike swinging a bat, though, swimming isn’t finished in two seconds; it’s motion on repeat, making the body a constant and intricate machine.

There was the first advantage of adult swim lessons.

Kids just do. Adults think.

Letting go Fitz started me with simple kicking, facedown in the water with my arms at my sides.

It was a simple beginning but immediately taught me the importance of letting go. Becoming light and relaxed allows you to focus on the work of

swimming. The water wants to keep us aloft. Let it. Spend your energy moving forward.

Below and ahead were mirrors that allowed me to remind myself of the importance of staying long and light. I had been working too hard and against myself.

I said as much to Fitz. He nodded.

“Exactly,” he said.

Next we moved on to floating facedown while kicking and pulling my arms from my sides to straight ahead. Simple, but it also taught me how to float well with my arms engaged. Then I went facedown with my arms ahead, brought one hand back and brushed my thumb along my thigh before bringing it back up top and repeating with the other arm. It was 90 percent of swimming, but without the breathing, and with emphasis on form more than speed or distance. Fitz was truly taking me apart before putting me back together.

At the conclusion of our first half an hour, Fitz offered simple instruction for practicing at the public pool across the

A hobby for life Over the coming weeks, the learning curve was steep and the strides swift. Fitz slowly integrated wrinkles, like forcing my chest deeper into the water and turning my body — chest, hips, legs, feet — almost 90 degrees to the wall with each stoke. I was already feeling stronger, lighter and more confident. The lessons routinely ended with Fitz recording video of me and us reviewing it together.

“You’re 100 percent better,” he said after the second lesson.

But with literal and figurative miles to go. I had initially wanted to work on breaststroke and backstroke, too, but it was obvious that I would need all five lessons to refine my freestyle stroke.

Fitz agreed.

As the weeks went on, my strides became straighter, smoother and more consistent, propelled by each of Fitz’s encouraging words — “Good!” or “Much better!” or “Excellent!” — whenever I popped up from the water. It was like being 10 again.

I couldn’t remember the last time I had learned so much in such a short amount of time. Probably it was childhood — which is when we tend to leave bettering ourselves behind. We do it all day at school, then often after school with music lessons or sports. As adults, we tend to operate as if who we are somehow became immutable. A handful of swimming lessons has given me, I hope, a new hobby for life. It turned out to be liberating just to learn something new.

Burn calories on winter sports A half hour is all you need to maintain proper weight, get your blood flowing and improve health, according to the Society for Vascular Surgery, which forwarded us a list of calories burned by various winter sports from Livestrong.com.

In one hour, a 155160 pound person can burn: • 511 calories cross country skiing • 365 calories downhill skiing • 563 calories playing ice hockey • 511 calories ice skating • 400 calories shoveling snow by hand No snow so far this winter? How about burning: • 281 calories bicycling • 329 calories carrying golf clubs • 211 calories walking the dog “Welcome 2012 as your year to become physically fit and keep your vascular system healthy,” said Dr. Anil Hingorani, a member of the Society for Vascular Surgery. “Winter sports burn calories, increase your heart rate and keep your blood flowing at a healthy rate.”

Lesson Continued from F1 But I enjoy the hard workout, so I posed the question: “Why bother going to the trouble of changing it?”

“Efficient technique gives you more control over how hard you want to work,” said Ben Husaby, nordic director and executive director of Bend Endurance Academy, a nonprofit organization that runs athletic enrichment programs.

“Otherwise you’re resigned to fatigue and limitations.”

OK. It WOULD be nice to be able to ski farther, faster.

And, I thought, wouldn’t it feel good to ski even half as gracefully as a skier like Husaby (who has cross-country skied at the Olympic level)?

So I took a small group lesson with Husaby at the Virginia Meissner Sno-park.

Lessons learned Husaby watched the four of us in the class ski for a minute and then deconstructed our skiing styles individually; some of us sit back too much, some of us rush through the motions, etc.

On a short, flat stretch of the groomed trail, Husaby showed me how I needed to align my hips over my ankles, to flex more at the ankles and to stand longer on one leg during the glide.

He calmly called, “Wait … wait … wait,” while I struggled to stay balanced over my left ski until my momentum decelerated, at which time my arms started flailing because I felt like I would fall over. Then it was time to bend at the ankles

and knees, shift the body over the other leg, press and wait, wait, wait.

That moment of standing over one leg gives those muscles, as the leg straightens up, a chance to rest, Husaby said.

Without that extension, the leg muscles are constantly contracted and you’re working inefficiently, he said. A relationship between recovery time for the legs and performance during skiing has been observed in clinical studies, according to a 2010 article in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the journal of the American College of Sports Medicine.

But my left leg is downright wobbly, so I tend to rush off of it and get back on my stronger leg. That way, neither leg gets that relaxation time. This is pretty common in the untrained skate skier.

Husaby said most people don’t want to slow down, even though it’s key to learning to ski efficiently. Slowing down is excruciating, I thought. I usually compensate for my lack of balance by increasing my forward momentum with faster steps and more pole pushes.

“To do it right, you can’t be in a hurry,” Husaby said (over and over).

Husaby found a way to speak directly to me in a way I could grasp: “Be a slacker,” he said.

So I slacked.

And then I was doing it. For a minute.

Evolution Skate skiing is only a 20year-old sport, and it’s still evolving. Its first participants

were athletes who were inclined to try a new sport, said Husaby, 46. But the early years of skate skiing were “incredibly painful,” he said, until skiers developed and refined skate techniques.

In our hour of technique instruction, I watched everyone incorporate some element of technique and progress in different ways.

Sydney Stringer, for example, learned the basics of how to V2 (see “Skate-skiing techniques” on Page F5). The 40-year-old Bend resident had only skate skied twice before the lesson. “Skate skiing is a technical sport. I’ve found it’s always best to learn a new skill correctly the first time around. Bad habits are hard and time consuming to break,” she said.

The lesson taught Stringer the importance of centering herself over her standing leg while pressing into the arch of the foot, she said.

“Really bending into that leg enables a push-off with more power,” she said. And, “We tend to ski in the direction we look. Ben says, ‘Imagine your poles are the bottom corners of a picture frame.’ Keeping your eyes on the horizon rather than on your skis or out into the woods — I do that — helps you ski straight with good posture.”

Practice Stringer and the rest of us in the class got fired up to go practice. But I’m bracing myself for skate skiing to feel like a mental exercise as much as a physical one, for a while.

I once took a “good form running” clinic with a goal to

run without injury, and to see if I could get faster. For a couple of weeks after the clinic, I hated running. I cursed the instructors with every overanalyzed step because I was concentrating more on form rather than losing myself in the rhythm and mindlessness of the run. But, better running form soon became second nature and I stopped thinking so hard. I’ve been running plenty, a little faster, and nothing hurts.

Last Saturday, I returned to Virginia Meissner alone to practice skiing technique, fully expecting a frustrating session.

And it did start rough. The first half hour was not pretty

— lots of arm flailing and near-falls. I was skiing worse than ever and despising the experience. But at some point, I could feel Husaby’s tips start to click. Some credit goes to the weather conditions and impeccable grooming (done by volunteers) at Meissner, but I began to understand how to use my legs more efficiently. It was probably the longest skate ski I’ve ever done and I wasn’t exhausted when it was over. I had started off struggling in my mind and my body, cursing Husaby. After a couple of hours I was having fun and thinking I needed to thank him.

F Trainers recommend ways to get on track

By Jessica Belasco San Antonio Express-News

SAN ANTONIO — Most New Year’s fitness resolutions last about as long as it takes to assemble that elliptical machine you got for Christmas.

Even the best intentions can be derailed by boredom, frustration, lost motivation or the wrong approach.

So we asked 12 fitness professionals to give us tips for fitness success in 2012: • Set goals — wisely. “If you don’t have a goal, you’re not going to commit.

• Don’t make it too big. Instead of saying, ‘I want to lose 20 pounds,’ say, ‘I’d like to lose five pounds in a month.’ The next month, we assess where they’re going and if it’s going OK, we’ll say, ‘How about another five pounds?’ Or if you’d like to do the marathon in November, I’d say, ‘Let’s pick a 5K to do in the next couple of months.’ Short-term goals keep you motivated.”

— Lisa Cuellar, personal trainer • Start slow. “A lot of people bite off more than they can chew. They think they’re going to start working out every day when they’ve never done anything. They’ll get really sore or injured and give up.

Start out two or three times a week. After you’ve done that for a month or so, work up to three or four times a week.”

— Susie Blucher, South Texas district trainer for Jazzercise • Build in accountability.

“By hiring a trainer, getting a workout buddy or joining a class you will be far more inclined to show up and do the work. It’s easy to let exercise fall by the wayside if you are the only one who is affected by not going.”

— Cory Torkelson, strength and conditioning specialist • Find the right trainer. “(Look for) 1. Credentials. Unfortunately, there are a lot of trainers hired without any experience or education. Look for a degree in the related field and/or a nationally recognized accredited personal trainer certification. 2. Prior success stories or testimonials. 3. Personality. Personal trainers need to educate and entertain.

Education means that clients learn something about themselves that they did not know previously.

Entertainment means that clients come to you because they seek out buzzing energy, enthusiasm, empathy, a good ear and more.”

— Devin Verdon, founder of D-N-A Fit • Have fun. “You have to find something you like. Try walking. See if you like cycling.

Swim. Take a Zumba class.

Try circuit training. Go dancing. Keep looking until you find something that you love to do.”

— Connie Barron, personal trainer and registered nurse, Blanco, Texas • Pump some iron. “Not only do you have to do cardio, you also have to do strength training to build lean muscle. It’s what’s going to strengthen the body and help your bone density and support the limbs and the joints. A lot of women come in here and see the weights, they see the machines, and they don’t know what to do.

They get intimidated. I want them to be comfortable because strength training is so important.”

— Wallace Wong, general manager, Women’s Super Fitness • Mind your diet. “If you really want to see results, you have to make a commitment to your diet as well as your fitness. You can’t have one without the other. Most people think that they worked out really hard so they deserve to have french fries or a big meal. I tell them, ‘You’re undoing all the good you did in the workout.’”

— Mary Kay Sheeran, personal trainer

Ski Continued from F1 Clarke loves both styles of cross-country skiing.

She considers them almost separate sports.

For Clarke, classic skiing is for getting away from it all, for breaking trail in the backcountry, for “when I want scenery and quiet,” she said. “Classic, for me, has the aspect of being out in the woods.”

Skate skiing on groomed trails is thrilling because it’s so fast. Although both styles require core strength and flexibility, skate skiing feels like a better workout, she said.

“I like the cardio part of it,” said Clarke. “I feel like it uses more of my muscles.”

For those concerned with maximizing their workout, using more muscles and skiing faster equates to burning more calories, according to Michael Bracko, a sports physiologist and conditioning coach in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He skis both styles and believes skate skiing requires more effort just to stay balanced.

However, J.D. Downing, a cross-country ski coach and director of XC Oregon, a nonprofit elite skier development program, said, “There are limits to a claim that skating is a bigger return on the fitness buck.”

“Some research … shows skating is generally more muscularly demanding than classic skiing, at least in rolling terrain,” Downing said. But there’s a tipping point, he said, if skiers are able to perfect their skating technique.

“When you get to a World Cup or Olympic level, the fastest skiers can do either technique and don’t notice a physiological difference,” Downing said. “For average folks, it’s quite different.”

A novice classic skier can fairly easily modify exertion by backing off or pushing harder, therefore controlling heart rate better, said Downing. In skate style, it requires more expertise to dial back one’s effort and heart rate, especially when skiing uphill, he said.

Comparing two styles Classic: For someone lacking prior snow-sport experience, it’s easier to learn to get from Point A to Point B in classic skiing. It’s like a gliding walk — an intuitive, natural motion. And it’s efficient — sliding one’s skis straight ahead, often within the confines of grooved, parallel tracks. People used to say that anyone who can walk could do it. “(That’s) a little bit of a misnomer but it’s not too far off the truth,” Downing said.

Classic skis are designed with an element of traction on the bottom — either wax or scales that grip the snow, helpful in the kick that propels a skier forward or uphill.

Skate: Skate skiing is a foreign motion for someone who hasn’t ice skated much or is unfamiliar with the dynamics of edges on snow. With skate skiing, the legs press on the skis in an outward “V” position which inherently wastes a bit of energy, Downing said. Skate skiing is about speed. Skate skis are made with smooth bottoms to glide faster with less drag, and that is evident on flats and downhill grades. But it also means going uphill can be harder.

Arms matter It’s easier to gear down one’s effort on long climbs in classic skiing in part because of the way the body distributes the workload, said Gerald Smith, a professor of biomechanics at Utah State University, who has analyzed ski techniques.

In classic skiing, a skier can climb uphill mainly using large leg muscles without as much arm (poling) power, allowing the upper body to relax. In skate skiing, it’s more difficult to minimize the upper body workload, Smith said.

Physiologically, there’s

Cross-country skiing comes in two basic styles: • Skate — A skier uses a motion similar to ice-skating or roller-blading, with the skis angled in a “V” position.

• Classic, or diagonal — The skis glide straight ahead in parallel tracks.

Ben Husaby, nordic director and executive director of Bend Endurance Academy, demonstrates the classic, or diagonal, technique of cross-country skiing.

Husaby demonstrates the V1 technique of skate skiing at Virginia Meissner Sno-park recently.

Skate-skiing techniques Since skate skiing originated in the 1980s, various techniques and rhythms have evolved as accomplished skiers aimed to improve performance according to terrain and conditions. Two basic skate-style techniques, known as V1 or V2 (and there are more, and there are other names for these techniques) are:

V1

This is a higher-resistance climbing technique, like first gear.

Pole positions are offset, with one hand higher than the other.

The offset pole position allows for a longer period of contact between poles and snow, giving the skier more consistent propulsion when climbing or when faced with high-resistance snow conditions, said J.D. Downing, director of XC Oregon. The pole push typically starts as the skier presses on one leg, and that pushing force continues as the skier shifts his weight to the other leg.

Leg muscles remain more contracted which helps the skier work against gravity but can also be fatiguing, said Ben Husaby, director of Bend Endurance Academy.

V2

This technique is used on more gradual terrain. It uses a lot of force with the poles in a double-pole push that accompanies each leg’s press, according to Downing. This can be trickier because it requires a high level of balance between each double-pole stroke.

But, Husaby said, it provides an opportunity for the leg muscles to rest during the glide, creating more efficient skiing.

One style is not superior to the other, said Downing. The key is being versatile, so the skier can switch gears.

According to a 2005 study in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, when a slope incline reaches a certain angle — about 4 degrees — using the V2 technique is going to be more costly in terms of heart rate and oxygen use than the V1 technique. (In other words, more exhausting.) The ability to alter one’s technique on uphill sections can improve overall performance, the study suggested.

just not a large enough blood supply to provide maximal blood — which carries oxygen and nutrients — to all parts of the body simultaneously, Smith said. So the body makes choices about where to send blood.

Some parts, such as the arms, might get short shrift. Fitness conditioning helps, he said, but even a well-trained body gets challenged.

In terms of training, it’s not uncommon for endurance athletes to ignore their upper bodies. But they shouldn’t if they care about skiing better. Studies have shown that upper-body strength is correlated to better cross-country ski performance for either style.

For the average recreational skier, upper-body strength is important in both types of skiing “but more so in skate skiing as 50 percent of the propulsive force comes from the upper body in skate skiing,” said Julie Downing, director of Central Oregon Community College’s Exercise Physiology Lab and a professor of health and human performance. (Julie Downing is married to J.D. Downing.)

Beginners tend to rely too much on their arms when their technique falls short. It’s a natural reaction that helps a skier stay balanced and mov-

ing forward.

“Sometimes beginners try to muscle up hills with their arms when they aren’t transferring their weight over their ski properly,” Julie Downing said.

“But with that said, the arms are crucial for propulsion.”

Consider the conditions When choosing between skate or classic skiing, snow conditions can play a role in how hard or feasible either style may be.

Classic skiers who change wax depending on snow conditions are going to have a trickier go of it when there’s back-to-back storms that keep changing the temperature and texture — and therefore the resistance — of the snow. Waxless classic skis might be easier to rely on when conditions are inconsistent.

Also, J.D. Downing said, deep fresh snow can make propulsion from pole plants ineffective, since the poles will sink into the soft snow of ungroomed trails such as those on the Swampy Lakes trail system or out toward Todd Lake. Classic skiing can still be fun and great exercise in these conditions, he said, but expect it to be slow going.

Skate skiers typically struggle to glide through ungroomed

fresh snow. They need hard, firm trails on packed surfaces, such as those at Mt. Bachelor’s nordic ski center or Virginia Meissner Sno-park’s groomed nordic ski trails.

Skate skiers might also enjoy snowmobile trails, such as those originating at Wanoga Sno-park, which get packed down by snow machines. But J.D. Downing emphasized that some snowmobile trails are for the machines only. And, if ever a skier wants to share a multiple-use trail (on weekdays and non-holiday periods, he suggested) the skier should wear bright clothes and watch out for snowmobiles.

Groomed trail systems such as Mt. Bachelor’s or Virginia Meissner’s are good for to either technique, offering parallel tracks for classic skis and wide groomed paths for those who skate. Beginners of both styles should learn on these man-made environments, J.D. Downing recommended.

And, since the two sites are at different elevations, they often experience different weather systems simultaneously. If the snow is getting thin or crusty at Meissner, there might be colder,

‘Walk this Way’ not cause of Tyler’s Morton’s neuroma

How to be guard yourself against the flu

Rock star and “American Idol” judge Steven Tyler recently revealed he had undergone surgery in 2008 to treat Morton’s neuroma. The condition is an injury to the nerve between the toes, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. It can feel as if you are walking on a marble or a fold in your sock. Symptoms can also include a burning pain in the ball of the foot that may radiate into the toes, which increases with activity or wearing shoes. Although neuroma

Wash your hands often and get an annual flu vaccine — those are the best ways to avoid getting sick, yes, but not the only ways. “There’s an entire arsenal of tools and actions you can use to fight off this virus,” says Dr. William Berg, director of the public health department in Hampton, Va. Such as: • Stop touching your eyes, nose and mouth. You’re not just at risk if somebody coughs or sneezes near you. Viruses can live on many surfaces, and you can easily infect yourself by touching one and then a mucus membrane.

• Give up cigarettes and heavy drinking. Smoke — including sec-

The problem is initially treated with nonsurgical interventions, such as wearing roomier, more comfortable shoes, custom foot orthotics, or an injection with a corticosteroid. If those fail to relieve symptoms, surgery is an option.

ond-hand smoke — damages your lungs and paralyzes tiny, hair-like cells in the nose that can sweep out viruses. Alcohol can weaken your immune system.

• Live healthfully. You’re better able to fight off germs when you get enough sleep, exercise, eat fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water.

Note: obesity appears to be a risk factor for severe flu cases.

• Use a humidifier. Membranes in your nose and throat can block more germs if they don’t dry out. A moister environment also may prevent viruses from staying airborne as long.

• Carry hand sanitizer. It’s portable, convenient and effective if it has

an alcohol concentration of at least 60 percent. But stick with soap and water for visible dirt.

• Use sanitizing wipes. Clean commonly-touched surfaces, including doorknobs, remote controls, office desktops, grocery store carts and ATM keypads.

• Avoid crowds. Limit trips to public places such as movie theaters and shopping malls at the height of flu season.

• Ask about prescription medication. If someone close to you gets sick and you haven’t had a flu shot, an anti-viral — plus a vaccination — may keep you healthy.

Senator’s stroke shows it can happen at any age • Up to a quarter of all strokes strike people younger than 65

By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When a stroke hits at 52, like what happened to Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, the reaction is an astonished, “But he’s so young.”

The reality is that strokes don’t just happen to grandma. They can happen at any age, even to children — and they’re on the rise among the young and Kirk middle-aged.

That makes it crucial to know the warning signs no matter how old you are.

“Nobody’s invincible,” warns Dr. Ralph Sacco, a University of Miami neurologist and past president of the American Heart Association.

Every year, about 795,000 people in the U.S. have a stroke. While some strokes are caused by bleeding in the brain, most are like a clogged pipe. Called ischemic strokes, a clot blocks blood flow,

starving brain cells to death unless that circulation is restored fast.

Make no mistake, the vast majority of strokes do occur in older adults. But up to a quarter of them strike people younger than 65, Sacco says.

In the so-called stroke belt in the Southeast, that figure can be markedly worse.

At Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina, a stunning 45 percent of stroke patients are young or middle-aged, says stroke center director Dr. Cheryl Bushnell.

More ominous, recent government research found that nationwide, hospitalization rates for ischemic strokes have jumped by about a third among people ages 15 to 44 over the past decade.

Sometimes younger-age strokes are flukes with no warning signs, impossible to predict — like Kirk’s appears to be. The Republican sena-

tor is a Navy Reserve commander and avid swimmer, but dizziness sent him to the hospital. It turns out he had a tear in the carotid artery in his neck which blocked blood flow to his brain, triggering a stroke. Trauma usually causes such tears, although doctors haven’t been able to say what caused Kirk’s. His doctor at a Chicago hospital said Monday that Kirk was continuing to improve from the stroke, which affected his left side.

Heart birth defects, such as a little hole in the heart known as a PFO, and bloodclotting disorders also tend to cause strokes more often in younger people than in seniors.

Poor health But just like strokes at older ages, a lot of younger strokes are preventable. The increase seems to be part of a troubling trend: As Americans get fatter, high blood pressure, diabetes and other artery-cor-

Spine Continued from F1 That avoids cutting through the muscles and connective tissue in the back, speeding recovery time and causing less collateral damage.

Three weeks after surgery, she started to feel more stability in her back and significantly less pain. Now a full six years after her surgery, her back has not relapsed.

“It’s not 100 percent, but I would say I’m 80 to 85 percent.

I’m very active again,” MacNeill said. “It’s nice not to be in constant pain.”

Such minimally invasive techniques are gaining favor among patients and surgeons as alternatives to traditional back surgery that often left patients with 6-inch scars and 12 months of recovery. But doctors caution that just because fusion surgery can be done through smaller openings, it doesn’t mean it’s for everyone.

“In my practice, I basically limit fusions to a complete last resort,” Hadden said. “In regards to the spine, the less you do, the better. The less you destroy in the process of doing your job, the better.”

Hadden explains that fusing two vertebrae together in order to stabilize the spine when the fibrous disk between them deteriorates is far from a perfect solution. Fusing vertebrae, at one level, puts undue stress on the disks above or below, speeding up the rate of degeneration five times from 0.5 percent per year to 2.5 percent year. That means patients often wind up back on the operating table several years later for another fusion surgery.

Traditional spine surgery, going through the back, exacerbated the problem because surgeons have to cut through muscles and other tissues that help strengthen the back and keep the spine in proper alignment.

“I fillet your spine open, pull the muscles back for a period of four or five hours doing a fusion and put them back. And a lot of times you have what

done arthroscopically, inserting surgical instruments and fiber optic cameras through small incisions. Knee and shoulder joints, however, are largely fluid-filled cavities that are well-suited to that approach. There is no open space surrounding the spine.

The procedure Hadden used on MacNeill involves making a small incision in the patient’s side. Then the surgeon creates a narrow passageway through the underlying soft tissues and gently separates the fibers of the psoas muscle — the muscle in the front of the hip that allows you to lift your leg. This provides the surgeon direct access to the spine. With specialized tools, the surgeon then removes the damaged disk and puts a bone graft in between the vertebrae. The vertebrae are then braced with rods and screws to allow the bone graft to fuse with the vertebrae and create a solid structure.

Many neurosurgeons expect over time, more spine surgery will be done with minimally invasive techniques.

That trend hit orthopedic surgery 20 years ago. Previously, knee or shoulder surgeries were done with large incisions, opening up the entire joint so the surgeon could see and repair the damage. Now most orthopedic surgery is

roding consequences set in at an earlier age — meaning resulting strokes can hit earlier, too.

Indeed, research reported in Annals of Neurology last fall found nearly 1 in 3 of the 15- to 34-year-olds hospitalized for a stroke, and over half of those ages 35 to 44, already had high blood pressure.

More women are having strokes during or right after pregnancy, too, the government reported last summer.

That’s because more of them start out with unhealthy conditions like high blood pressure even before the hormonal changes kick in.

Whatever the cause or the age, anyone with stroke symptoms needs emergency care: Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg, especially on one side; sudden difficulty speaking or understanding speech; trouble seeing or walking; a sudden super-severe headache.

Younger adults are less likely than seniors to know those symptoms, and tend to try to shrug them off, Bush-

nell says. She points to a recent 50-something patient who twice ignored temporary episodes of weakness on one side. Called TIAs, for transient ischemic attacks, such episodes are a big red flag that a full-fledged stroke may be imminent. A third TIA finally brought him to the emergency room. By then, aggressive treatment wasn’t enough to avoid a stroke that left him with impaired speech.

“As people get older, they have more and more direct contact with people who had strokes,” and learn what to watch for, Bushnell says. But at younger ages, “there’s just a gap in awareness.”

spine and elaborate devices to perform procedures that were previously done solely through open procedures.

“A lot of it is also very gimmicky,” said Dr. Charles Rosen, a spine surgeon with the University of California, Irvine, and director of the Association for Medical Ethics, which tracks the dollars paid to surgeons from device manufacturers. “People hear the words ‘minimally invasive, laser, outpatient, sports medicine’ and they think that’s what they need. As a result, a lot of industry will just label things ‘minimally invasive, sports medicine, outpatient.’

So it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better.”

Rosen worries that patients may hear terms like “minimally invasive” and think that the procedure is somehow safer or more effective because of it.

“They’re drinking the KoolAid,” he said. “It’s just not the case.”

Dr. Kathleen Moore, a spine surgeon with Desert Orthopedics in Bend, said she frequently has patients coming in asking for fusion surgery or the latest procedure they’ve

read about in the press.

“I think for a patient, it will probably be more desirable to consider surgery when it’s less invasive,” she said. “I don’t think you would see us pushing it more as surgeons, but there would definitely be a bigger draw.”

Moore estimates that for every one patient that she suggests fusion surgery, she has 10 patients she discourages from surgery. Hadden takes the same approach.

“I talk more people out of fusion surgery than I talk into,” he said. “Why? Because I wouldn’t want a fusion if I had other options available to me.”

Hadden said patients often think of fusion surgery as a fix to their problem, without realizing the drawbacks of surgery. Although fusion surgery can reduce the back pain they’re experiencing, it won’t eliminate their symptoms completely. And it can cause other problems, including undermining the stability of the back muscles and putting undue stress on the adjacent joints in the spine.

Hadden likes the minimally

The ambulance got him to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in time for a clot-busting drug to stop his stroke.

She wouldn’t have considered having a second child had her back not improved.

“I would not have gotten pregnant again.”
