THE DREDGING DEBATE

Concern over cyberthreats: Everything is vulnerable

With Ryan, a focus on fiscal issues

WASHINGTON — In introducing Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney brought to his side one of the GOP’s young conservative leaders, maybe altered the contours of a struggling campaign, sharpened the choice facing voters in November — and put the size and role of government squarely at the center of the debate.

The selection of Ryan, the chief architect of the Republican Party’s plan for tax and spending cuts and an advocate of reshaping the Medicare program of health insurance for retirees, was an effort to reset the race with President Barack Obama after a withering assault on Romney by Democrats.

The decision instantly made the campaign seem bigger and more consequential. It was intended to galvanize the Republican base and represents a clear tactical shift

by Romney, who until now had been singularly focused on weak job growth since Obama took office.

Who owns

WASHINGTON — With a bill that would beef up the nation’s cybersecurity efforts stalled in the Senate, the Obama administration hinted last week it may take steps on its own to protect American interests from cyberattacks.

Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations, Obama counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said the White House was considering what it could do via executive order under its current authority.

“Right now I can tell you with great certainty that the vulnerabilities are there, that the capabilities on the threat side are there, and so it’s a question of intent, whether or not certain actors are going to operationalize the capability to go against the vulnerabilities that exist in the system,” he said.

Brennan’s comments reflect a growing sense of urgency that America could increasingly be targeted for attacks conducted not with guns and bombs, but by hacking into central networks and disabling key pieces of infrastructure.

Experts worry that America’s electric grid, transportation networks and financial markets could be vulnerable.

Deschutes Brewery’s Mirror Pond Pale Ale.

Third St.

Who is Paul Ryan?

By Hillary Borrud and Dylan J. Darling 97

While that’s not surprising, McKay’s claim to

the ale’s namesake is.

McKay and his siblings are the grandchildren of

Clyde McKay, one of the early landowners who shaped the development of Bend after moving to the town in 1911. When land along the river was divided into lots, Clyde kept the land under the Deschutes River, the family story goes.

However, the story passed down by the McKay family is difficult to substantiate on paper.

The question of who if anyone owns the land under Mirror Pond arose during the past decade, as community members and officials from the city and the Bend Park & Recreation District discussed whether to dredge the silt that has accumulated in the pond. According to experts, Mirror Pond is at risk of turning into a wetland.

Officials expect that dredging the pond would cost $2 million to $5 million. They would also need permission to dredge from anyone who owns land under Mirror Pond. At a meeting of the Mirror Pond Steering Committee on Monday,

Mitt Romney’s choice of Paul Ryan, who has represented Wisconsin in the House since 1998, promises to energize conservatives.

members including officials from the city and park district discussed whether one of the government agencies should buy the land from the McKay family.

Bill Smith, a member of the committee who is also the developer of the Old Mill District, paid for a title search and told committee members the McKay family owns 90 percent of the land under Mirror Pond, Bend Director of Community Development Mel Oberst said.

Smith did not provide a copy of the results to the city, which has not conducted its own research on ownership of the pond.

Clyde McKay, a landowner in Bend’s early days, owned the land under the Deschutes River where Mirror Pond is. His living relatives maintain they still own that land. To dredge the silt at the bottom of the pond, officials would need permission from anyone who owns the land.

Pakozdi, 25, an experienced gamer, has said she always expects a certain amount of trash talk. But as the only woman on the team, this was too much, especially from her coach, she said. It was after she overheard Bakhtanians defending sexual harassment as part of “the

After two tours in Iraq and trouble adjusting to civilian life, Jeff Hensley was looking for a new career path. He wanted to leave his job as an airline pilot and become a counselor, though he didn’t know how he would pay for it.

“I knew there was a real need for it out there,” said the 48-yearold Frisco, Texas, resident, who served in the Navy and the Air Force.

Like thousands of military veterans, Hensley found financial help in the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

This fall, with more U.S. troops returning from the Middle East, a record 590,000 veterans are expected to be enrolled in universities and two-year colleges under the new bill.

ELECTIONS

The art and science of the opinion poll

By Rebecca Cohen McClatchy Newspapers

Here’s a survey: Is campaign polling ‌ 1) an art 2) a science 3) an act of statistical sleight of hand?

The answer can be all of the above.

As the election nears, polls are ramping up. Undoubtedly, Mitt Romney will see some movement in opinion after Saturday’s announcement of popular conservative congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. Some polls might show a big bump in approval, others nothing much at all.

It can be hard to interpret their terminology, let alone know which numbers to trust. “All polls are not created equal,� said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion. “And that’s unfortunate, because it all looks very scientific.�

So what should you look for? Are registered voters the same as likely voters? Can you define “margin of error�? How about “house effect�?

If it’s a good poll, the polling firm will disclose how the survey was conducted. These are guides to determine whether the poll is any good. “It’s the responsibility of the reader to be smart, to be educated, to make the effort,� said Paul Freedman, a political science associate professor at the University of Virginia.

With the help of top pollsters and analysts, here’s an easy guide for wading through the deluge of polls about this year’s elections.

How was the sample picked?

In a reliable poll, all possible respondents have a known chance of being chosen. Polls such as Gallup and Marist have a dialing service that selects randomly from a list of every phone exchange in the country and combines random digits to generate phone numbers. When someone answers, a person who’s working for the poll asks the questions.

One benefit of the human touch: It would be easier for callers to skip the people who say they’re busy or answer the

phone angrily, Miringoff said.

But if callers don’t persevere, “you end up with a sample of friendly respondents with a lot of time on their hands,� he said.

After a string of favorable polls for President Barack Obama, some Democrats have begun to talk of a turning point in the race; that’s probably premature. It is true that most recent surveys, both national and in key states, have delivered better news for Obama than for Mitt Romney. Polls also have shown an increase in the percentage of voters who view Romney unfavorably, an indication that Obama’s attacks on his Republican rival have taken a toll. But Obama fans should take note that the movement in the polls is small and — surprise — varies depending on which polling techniques are being used.

It’s illegal to let a computer automatically dial a cellphone, and human dialers are more expensive. So automated polls, which don’t use human questioners, miss cellphones.

But 30 percent of Americans now use cellphones instead of land lines, so it’s important to include them, said Frank Newport, the editor in chief of the Gallup Poll.

Question: Do you have a favorable or unfavorable impression of ... ?

A few words can make a huge difference. “Do you usually vote Democratic?� is more likely to generate “yes� responses than “Do you usually vote Democratic, or not?� When reporting results, Gallup includes question wording “down to the comma,� Newport said.

The order of questions is equally important, Miringoff said. Respondents will give the president lower approval ratings if they’ve just answered a string of questions about the tanking economy than they will if the approval rating comes first.

underrepresented?

Each firm has its own formula for adjusting — weighting — the numbers.

If a poll ends up with 400 men and 200 women, for example, the firm might multiply each woman’s response by 2 before calculating an average.

The firm also might assume that half as many women as men plan to vote and leave the numbers alone. “That’s like asking a heart surgeon, ‘How do you conduct heart surgery?’ � Newport said.

But is that bias?

Differences in technique can contribute to a firm’s “house effect,� or tendency to produce results that are skewed in a certain political direction.

How was the data weighted?

What’s the margin of error?

Even if a poll’s sample is chosen randomly, its demographics almost never match the population it surveyed.

How do firms compensate if one group is over- or

The margin of error can mean the difference between a candidate being ahead or behind. If 51 percent of poll respondents say they’ll vote for Mitt Romney and the margin

How were the questions asked?

Snapshot of a Washington Post-ABC News poll

Who’s a likely voter?

Campaign polls usually sample either registered or likely voters. It’s more accurate to poll likely voters, because many registered voters — as many as 50 percent — won’t cast ballots.

Different firms have different ways of determining how to screen the sample for likely voters and they rarely disclose their methods, Freedman said.

Common methods include asking whether the respondent plans to vote and whether he or she voted in the past, Miringoff said.

of error is 3 percentage points, that means pollsters conclude that the percent of the total population that supports Romney is somewhere from 48 to 54.

The formula for calculating the margin of error is based on the number of people surveyed and the total population.

It’s especially important to understand this when looking at a sample that’s broken into categories such as age or race, Freedman said. The margin of error for a subset will be larger than the margin of error for the total sample.

Ultimately, top pollsters remind readers that surveys are “a snapshot in time.� The best way to view polls is as a tool for understanding what voters are thinking right now, Miringoff said. They show how people are reacting to a candidate, not how they’ll behave on Election Day. “We’re not necessarily talking about what’s going to happen in November,� Miringoff said.

T S U.S., Turkey consider TSA accused of profiling NATO troops AFGHANISTAN

increasingly killed in view of their allies New York Times News Service KABUL, Afghanistan — Six of the eight U.S., British and coalition service members killed since Thursday in southern Afghanistan were shot in the company of their Afghan allies, officials of the NATO-led coalition here said Saturday.

The killings heightened worries about how the coalition troops, who are training members of the Afghan army and the police, can protect themselves while working at close quarters with their Afghan counterparts. Afghan and NATO officials said they were examining the extent to which the attacks by Afghans in positions of trust were part of a concerted Taliban strategy to disrupt the coalition’s operations.

An Afghan security official said the tactic of using assailants embedded in the army or police forces to kill their coalition partners was a particularly worrisome one and had become one of the three main Taliban tactics.

“This is one of the dangerous and bad tactics that the Taliban have started to use,” said the official, Asadullah Khalid, the minister of border and tribal affairs, who is also the security chief for southern Afghanistan. “Because they cannot fight us face to face, they are using IEDs, suicide bombings and this kind of attack.”

The total number of coalition service members intentionally killed this year by Afghan soldiers or police officers stands at 34 in 25 attacks, not counting Friday’s attack because of unclear circumstances. In 2011, 35 were killed in 21 such attacks.

B Mars rover getting a ‘brain transplant’ After a week of transmitted dramatic photos of Mars, rover Curiosity is going to have a four-day “brain transplant.”

Engineers will be updating Curiosity’s software, currently primed for its flight stage, to prepare it for its Martian surface operations. The update will add two crucial functions — the ability to use the geochemistry lab’s sampling system, and to drive.

The update had to wait until the rover landed because its processor, built years ago to withstand the harsh environment of interplanetary space, is limited compared with today’s consumer technology, said senior software engineer Ben Cichy. “My phone has a processor that is 10 times as fast,” he said.

In the meantime, as the rover goes under the digital knife, scientists will be taking a break.

New deportation policy takes effect Up to 1.76 million illegal immigrants could be eligible for a two-year reprieve from deportation under an Obama administration program that begins accepting applications Wednesday.

Under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative, individuals younger than 31 can apply for a two-year deferral of any deportation, if they can prove they came to the U.S. before age 16, have lived here for the past five years, have not been convicted of select crimes and are not a threat to national security.

The administration unveiled the program in June.

— From wire reports

The Associated Press Transportation Security Administration officers at Boston’s Logan International Airport are alleging that a program intended to help flag possible terrorists based on passengers’ mannerisms has led to rampant racial profiling.

In interviews and internal complaints obtained by The New York Times, more than 30 officers are shown to have been involved in the “behavior detection” program at Logan contend that the operation targets not only Middle Easterners but also passengers who fit certain profiles — such as Hispanics traveling to Miami, or

black people wearing baseball caps backward.

The program, which has been billed as a model for other airports across the country, is intended to allow officers to stop, search and question passengers who seem suspicious.

Specially trained “assessors” observe security lines for unusual activity and speak individually with each passenger, looking for inconsistencies in the passenger’s responses to questions and behavior such as avoiding eye contact, fidgeting or sweating.

The TSA said it is investigating the officers’ claims. At a meeting last month with the

agency, officers provided written complaints, some of them anonymous, from 32 officers.

The officers said their coworkers were increasingly targeting minorities, believing the stops would lead to the discovery of drugs, outstanding arrest warrants and immigration problems, in response to pressure from managers who wanted high numbers of stops, searches and criminal referrals.

“The behavior detection program is no longer a behavior-based program, but it is a racial profiling program,” one officer wrote in an anonymous complaint the Times obtained.

DEATH TOLL NEAR 200 AFTER IRANIAN QUAKES

no-fly zone for Syria

By Roy Gutman McClatchy Newspapers

ISTANBUL, Turkey — The United States and Turkey on Saturday took a half-step toward intervention in Syria, announcing that the two governments jointly would begin “in depth analysis and operational planning” for a possible no-fly zone.

The countries also will begin drafting plans for how to respond if Syrian President Bashar alAssad’s regime carries out wide-scale massacres or uses chemical weapons as it battles insurgents seeking its overthrow.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the steps early in a day of hurriedly called talks with top Turkish leaders.

Clinton asked to see top Turkish officials while touring Africa last week, as Syrian rebels battled to seize parts of Aleppo, the most populous city, against a fierce government counterattack that included jets, helicopter and artillery bombardments. Reports from Aleppo last week indicated that the rebels had withdrawn from many of their forward positions after they ran low on ammunition.

Turkey’s foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, told reporters that the fighting in Aleppo had raised concerns about the possibility of what he called “a gigantic wave of migration” as

the violence increases.

In recent months, Syria’s rebels have extended control over a large swath of territory in the northeastern corner of the country after forcing the army from town after town in a string of bloody street battles.

As a result, for the first time in Syria’s 17-month conflict, rebels have a cohesive enclave in which they can move and organize with unprecedented freedom, plus a long stretch of the border with Turkey key for moving out refugees and smuggling in weapons. They also have one official, working border crossing.

Jordan now has between 100,000 and 120,000 Syrian refugees, Turkish officials said. Some 53,000 Syrians have taken shelter in refugee camps in Turkey, with 2,000 more arriving each day. Some 3,500 Syrians are now waiting across the border until Turkey can establish new tent cities to accommodate them, Turkish officials said.

Since the uprising started in March 2011, opposition leaders have failed to offer little more than a vague idea of the kind of state they hope to found should the regime fall.

More than 20,000 people have been killed.

Residents spend the night outside their homes after an earthquake in Varzaqan, in northwestern Iran, on Saturday. Two strong earthquakes leveled villages and damaged homes in the region, killing at least 180 people and injuring more than 1,350 others, state TV reported. Thousands of people spent the night outdoors as aftershocks rattled the area.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported that Saturday’s afternoon quake had a magnitude of 6.4; its epicenter was about 200 miles northwest of the capital Tehran. The second quake, with a magnitude of 6.3, struck 11 minutes later in the same area.

People in the quake region were urged to stay outdoors and spend the night at parks and open spaces in anticipation of aftershocks. Authorities feared the death toll could rise as rescuers were still trying to reach people trapped under rubble and had not yet reacher some more remote villages.

Egypt on path to wider military alliance with U.S. New York Times News Service In the wake of the attack that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers near the border with Israel last Sunday, the U.S. and Egypt are negotiating a package of assistance to address what administration officials described as a worsening security vacuum in the Sinai Peninsula.

Egypt’s new president, Mohammed Morsi, and its military leaders balked last month when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta each separately pressed them to act more aggressively against extremists operating in Sinai.

But after the attack, Egypt appears to have overcome its sensitivities about sovereignty and accelerated talks over the details of new U.S. assistance, which would include military equipment, police training, and electronic and aerial surveillance, the officials said.

The attack, in which at least 35 masked gunmen raided an Egyptian border post and commandeered two military vehicles they used to try to storm the border with Israel, has deeply shaken Morsi’s government.

While the U.S. military has long had ties to its Egyptian counterpart, the deeper, more direct effort now under discussion could bind the U.S. and Egypt more closely against the shared threat of extremism.

The Pentagon is discussing a variety of options for sharing intelligence with Egypt’s military and police in Sinai.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 2012

Ryan Continued from A1 As a young Capitol Hill staffer, Ryan impressed Republican lawmakers with his hustle and intellectual curiosity. He blended quickly with an elite crop of conservative thinkers. By his 30s, he was a congressman on his way to becoming a GOP name brand with his push-theedge budget proposals.

Ryan’s climb reached new heights Saturday.

“There are a lot of people in the other party who might disagree with Paul Ryan,” Romney said in announcing his running mate. “I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t respect his character and judgment.”

When Ryan bounded onto the stage to join Romney, against a backdrop of a retired battleship, the USS Wisconsin, he carried a generational message; at 42, he is 23 years younger than Romney and is the same age as Romney’s oldest son. Neither man has military experience or much background in foreign policy. (In fact, this the first presidential election in 80 years in which no one on either ticket has served in the military. The last time that happened was 1932, before the United States helped win World War II and became a military superpower.)

Romney, a Mormon, and Ryan, a Catholic, also represent a new era in presidential politics: Neither is a Protestant.

The announcement, which had been kept secret by the Romney campaign until the final hours, opened a weekend tour of swing states that is to continue today in North Carolina and Wisconsin. The candidates and their families are traveling together to showcase the new partnership, which they branded “America’s Comeback Team.”

For Romney, the decision is one of the boldest moves of his presidential candidacy, which has been guided by a do-noharm strategy. It promised to energize conservatives, who had been eagerly lobbying for Ryan and who see his budget as the key to unlocking the economy’s potential for growth.

“The commitment Mitt Romney and I make to you is this,” Ryan said, smiling broadly during much of his address in Norfolk, Va. “We won’t duck the tough issues; we will lead. We won’t blame others; we will take responsibility. And we won’t replace our founding principles; we will reapply them.”

A Washington insider Ryan, who has spent the last 14 years representing a southern Wisconsin district that runs from the shores of Lake Michigan through farm country south of Madison, grew up in Janesville and still lives just down the block from where he spent his boyhood.

His father, a lawyer, died of a heart attack when Ryan was a teenager. It’s why Ryan is a fitness buff, leading fellow lawmakers through grueling, early morning workouts and pushing himself through mountain climbs.

That same intensity propelled him on the political front, too. He was first exposed to Congress as a summer intern.

With an economics degree in hand, Ryan worked his way through committee staff assignments, a prominent think tank and top legislative advisory roles until opportunity arose with an open seat from his home turf. He leveraged Washington connections, local ties forged through the family construction business and the backing of anti-abortion groups en route to his surprisingly comfortable victory.

“One of the first lessons I learned was, even if you come to Congress believing in limited government and fiscal prudence, once you get here you are bombarded with pressure to violate your conscience and your commitment to help secure the people’s natural right to equal opportunity,” Ryan wrote in a 2010 book.

Critics question Ryan’s own consistency. They note that he backed a costly prescription drug benefit during Republican George W. Bush’s presidency that added strain to the Medicare budget, which Ryan touted at the time as “one of the most critical pieces of legislation” enacted since he joined Congress. He said in a June interview with The Associated Press that he took a “defensive” vote to ward off a more expensive Senate version.

More recently, Ryan served on a bipartisan presidential debt commission but balked at its report because a tax increase

About Paul Ryan Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is a fit (former physical trainer) 42-year-old policy wonk with a relaxed and noncombative demeanor. He has become a superstar, a (polarizing) lightning rod and the new identity of the Republican Party. But a recent poll — before Ryan set about introducing himself to the nation Saturday at a campaign rally — found that a majority of the public didn’t know him.

EARLY YEARS Born: 1970, Janesville, Wis. Education: Bachelor’s in economics, political science, Miami University of Ohio, 1992.

Family: Married, with three children; they are Roman Catholic.

POLITICAL CAREER 1992: Intern to U.S. Sen. Bob Kasten, R-Wis. 1993-95: Speechwriter, adviser for Empower America, a conservative pressure group.

1995-97: Legislative aide to U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. 1996: Speechwriter for Jack Kemp during his GOP vice presidential campaign.

1998-present: U.S. representative from Wisconsin, currently the House Budget Committee chairman; drafted the House GOP budget plan that would cut discretionary spending and overhaul Medicare and Medicaid.

was on the menu of options.

And Ryan has been a double-edged sword for Romney.

The congressman’s endorsement of Romney came at a critical stage of the GOP primaries, giving him a boost in the Wisconsin race that effectively buried Romney’s final threat. But it also meant Romney was embracing the Ryan-sponsored budget proposal that Democrats fiercely target as painful to the poor and elderly.

Still, the square-jawed congressman is viewed as a bridge between the buttoned-up GOP establishment and the riled-up tea party movement.

In fact, it took time for Ryan’s own party to get fully behind his ideas. A few years ago, when Ryan first proposed dramatic changes to entitlement programs like Medicare, some in the GOP were skittish because Democrats pounced on the plans as undermining the health program accessed by millions of retirees.

Romney-Ryan The two men share an easy rapport and a love of PowerPoint presentations and policy details.

In choosing his running mate, Romney was looking to elevate a presidential race with a candidate most likely to provide the biggest jolt. It is a gamble, his aides acknowledged, but one they believe is far less risky than Sen. John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin four years ago. Several advisers said that as the author of the party’s central budgetary approach, Ryan helped make their campaign look “big,” after months of running a race remarkably absent of specific policy proposals.

But in making his choice, Romney took political ownership of a budget that even some Republicans worry could be a liability in November.

Advisers said Saturday that Romney had called Ryan with his offer on Aug. 1, almost immediately upon arriving home from a trip to Britain, Israel and Poland. That detail, which was confirmed by an associate close to Ryan, deflated speculation that Romney made his choice in reaction to an outcry that broke out last week, most notably on the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, which argued forcefully on behalf of Ryan.

The Romney-Ryan campaign now moves into a critical period leading to their nomination at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., at the end of the month. Romney’s standing in several battleground states has fallen over the summer, after an aggressive effort by the Obama campaign to define him on their terms. Republicans hoped the vice presidential announcement would start the race anew, as well as help make Ryan’s native Wisconsin more competitive.

Obama, who has frequently sparred with Ryan, waved to reporters as he left the White House on Saturday but did not answer questions about his Republican rivals. But his advisers said he was surprised by the decision. His campaign and the Democratic Party seized on the choice and sought to define the Republican ticket in stark terms, as two men who would strip health coverage for retirees and favor the wealthy.

But Ryan will face questions about his readiness to be president. He has no foreign policy experience and has not spent significant time in the private sector, but the Romney campaign is counting on his youthful charisma and intellect to sustain him through a bruising presidential campaign.

“He had two decisions to make: governing or political, and bold or comfortable,” Karl Rove, the Republican strategist, said Saturday. “And he decided

to go governing and bold.”

Romney’s rapport with Ryan was on display again on Saturday as they locked arms after walking out to the soaring music of the “Air Force One” film soundtrack. Romney wore a tie without jacket and Ryan wore a jacket without a tie.

As the campaign goes on, their partnership could be test-

ed by how powerfully Romney is willing to embrace the Ryan plan for an economic overhaul, and how willing Ryan is to modulate his views for Romney’s political needs.

For now, their rapport stirred the crowd. “There is an energy there between them,” said Joyce Brittingham, 83, who said she was struck by

Eric Thayer / New York Times News Service

Until now, Paul Ryan, who has spent almost half of his life in the Washington fold, has let opportunities to advance come and go, most recently when he opted not to seek an open U.S. Senate seat. His young family factored into his considerations; he and his wife, tax attorney Janna (pictured Saturday on the campaign trail), have a daughter and two sons.

Ryan’s youthfulness. “I think of George Bush, the way he ran upstairs all the time,” she said of the 43rd president.

Keith Freeman, the 51-yearold chairman of a local chapter of the tea party, detected a level of comfort that he has not seen between Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. “The way they look at each other when they

talk,” he said. “There is no stiffness. They are comfortable.”

Romney, who is not known for his warmth, patted Ryan on the back 10 times at the campaign rally. When Ryan finished his remarks, Romney whispered a word into his ear.

“Perfect,” he said.

THE ‘VEEPSTAKES’

‘Bold’ choice sets tone for 2012 and beyond

By Chris Cillizza The Washington Post

For the better part of two months — and for some, far longer than that — the Republican vice presidential sweepstakes has dominated the thoughts of political junkies. Now that we know the identity of Mitt Romney’s running mate — widely called a bold if perhaps risky choice — the last major piece of the 2012 presidential puzzle has fallen into place.

Given the high stakes of the “veepstakes,� it’s worth sorting through the entrails to come up with some winners and, of course, some losers from the process that was.

• Paul Ryan: Let’s start with the first, and obvious, winner. Ryan, R-Wis., went from being a well-regarded congressman to internationally known, and still popular, within 24 hours. If the GOP ticket wins, Ryan is not only VP but also at the front of the line for president in his own right in four or eight years. If the ticket loses? Assuming Ryan acquits himself moderately well, he’s probably at the front anyway. • Policy: Those who’ve decried the lack of a serious debate over the future of the country won big. Anyone who knows the Republican vice presidential nominee knows that his first love is the sort of numbers geekery that will make policy wonks’ hearts go pitter patter. To some, Ryan is the GOP answer to President Barack Obama himself: He’s younger, “debates rather than beratesâ€? (as Politico put it) and sometimes ignores the official party line (he’s supported gay and lesbian anti-discrimination laws, for example). • Conservative elites: In an election cycle where the George Wills and Bill Kristols (pictured) of the world haven’t gotten much of what they wanted out of the Republican presidential field, they won a big victory with the selection of Ryan. Ryan became the “itâ€? boy of the conservative smart set for his willingness to get specific on what a Republican budget — and plan for the country — might look like. As it became clear he had made it onto Romney’s shortest list, the conservative punditry kicked into high gear, painting it as a once-in-a-lifetime sort of pick not just for Romney but for the conservative movement. • Chemistry: Who does a presidential nominee like and trust? Can he (or she) imagine serving with him (or her) day in and day out for four (or eight) years? It was widely reported that Romney and Ryan had great chemistry when they campaigned together earlier this year. • Congressional Democrats: Efforts to nationalize the fall election weren’t going so well for Democrats. By putting Ryan on the ticket, Romney has handed House and Senate Democrats a golden opportunity to make downballot races a referendum on his budget proposal.

That strategy has paid off for swing seats in recent special elections. • Wisconsin: The Badger State now can lay claim to the presumed GOP vice presidential nominee, the Republican National Committee chairman and the most famous governor in the country (Scott Walker, pictured). Not bad for a state that a GOP presidential nominee hasn’t carried since 1984. If the 1990s and earlier 2000s saw a Republican Party controlled by men from Texas (George W. Bush, Tom DeLay, Dick Armey) then this decade’s Texas certainly looks like Wisconsin.

THE LOSERS

Eric Thayer / New York Times News Service

As Rep. Paul Ryan addressed a crowd of more than 2,000 admirers in Norfolk, Va., he said the nation was on an “unsustainable path.�

It was the largest stage yet for Ryan, a Wisconsin native who was elected to Congress at age 28 and — though he has supported some of the spending measures that helped contribute to the federal budget deficit deplored by conservatives — is now known as the House’s premier budget hawk. “This is a crucial moment ‌ and it is absolutely vital that we select the right man to lead America back to prosperity and greatness,â€? Ryan said, referring to the man at the top of the Republican ticket, Mitt Romney.

Elevating Ryan, and his budget plan • Cuts, Medicare overhaul become an electoral flashpoint, recasting the battle for Congress

By Jackie Calmes New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — To date, Mitt Romney has been criticized for a lack of detail behind his promise to reduce the nation’s rising debt through sweeping spending cuts and tax changes, but he has also been politically insulated by it.

Now, his gamble in tapping Rep. Paul Ryan, the architect of the audacious House Republican budget plan, as his running mate changes all of that.

The budgets that Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, has pushed through the Republican-controlled House this year and last have defined nothing short of a conservative reordering of the nation’s tax and spending priorities for the 21st century.

His blueprint would greatly shrink the government, largely undoing the social safety net by shifting more costs onto individuals and essentially converting Medicare into a capped voucher program.

It would also alter the progressive income tax system, which, like the safety net, was built through the 20th century under Republican as well as Democratic presidents.

The Ryan budgets were predictably blocked by the Democratic-controlled Senate and President Barack Obama. Yet should Romney win the election, it is far from clear how a Romney-Ryan budget would fare even in a friendlier Congress, given the politically and fiscally fraught particulars that Ryan and his House Republican colleagues have proposed.

On Saturday, Romney’s campaign quickly circulated talking points to supporters distancing him from Ryan’s budgets, saying Romney “will be putting together his own plan.�

The Ryan plan, which Romney endorsed during the hardfought race for the Republican presidential nomination, would cut about $6 trillion from projected spending in its first 10 years. But the plan also would cut revenues by $4 trillion, and more over time, by slashing individual and corporate income taxes. The government would not run a surplus for three decades, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office — an outcome that would have been heresy to pro-tax-cut, anti-deficit Republicans of the past.

The trajectory of Ryan’s budget plans and his rise in the party parallel the shift in Republican fiscal thinking on Capitol Hill and in statehouses.

Though colleagues saw him as an intellectual force in the party, Ryan’s push to rein in federal spending was viewed with caution by party elders like Rep. John A. Boehner of Ohio, now the speaker of the House, who appreciated Ryan’s enthusiasm but was wary of the political implications of his plans to reshape Medicare and Social Security.

In 2010, when Ryan rolled out a retooled version of his fiscal “Roadmap for America’s Future� while Republicans battled for control of the House, Boehner lauded the proposal but stopped short of embracing it as party policy.

Yet many conservatives running that year saw in Ryan’s

plans just what they had sought — a blueprint for slashing the size and scope of the federal government and unleashing business to spur the economy.

The tide of tea party freshmen propelled Ryan, of Wisconsin, and his fellow “Young Guns,� Eric Cantor of Virginia and Kevin McCarthy of California, into the House leadership, at the very center of Republican power and thought.

Ideas deemed extreme just a few years ago were front and center. With the allegiance and admiration of many freshman lawmakers, Ryan essentially became the House majority’s ideological leader.

Still, many colleagues were unnerved early last year when, after an unpopular spending confrontation with Democrats nearly caused a government shutdown, Ryan pushed ahead with his budget remaking Medicare for future retirees. Newt Gingrich called it “right-wing social engineering� before backtracking, but Ryan countered that voters would reward Republicans for their willingness to make hard decisions.

When House Republicans passed the plan with few defections, Democrats were astonished — and giddy at what they saw as a political windfall. Republicans approved a similar budget this year, and now it becomes a centerpiece of the campaign and the political debate.

Nonpartisan analyses of Ryan’s proposed income-tax cuts reached conclusions much like that in recent weeks about Romney’s tax proposals: “The tax cuts in Paul Ryan’s 2013 budget plan would result in huge benefits for high-income people and very modest — or no — benefits for low-income working households,� Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, a policyresearch organization, wrote in summarizing the findings of the Tax Policy Center.

As for spending, Ryan would not only reduce but also remake the entitlement programs — Medicare and Medicaid — whose projected growth drives the forecasts of unsustainable federal deficits as medical costs rise and the population ages. Medicare would become a voucher program.

Romney’s move has the power to reshape the race for control of Congress, with the already-simmering issue of the Wisconsin Republican’s budget now firmly at the forefront of the 2012 election.

Democrats have gotten significant mileage out of attacking the “Ryan budget.� Poll after poll shows that Americans, while wanting to cut waste in the budget, are strongly resistant to any major cuts or changes to federal entitlement programs such as Medicare.

Democrats need to win 25 House seats to retake the chamber, and they need to lose no more than three Senate seats to keep their majority there. The Senate is considered to be more in play in 2012, with Democrats defending many conservative-leaning and swing states. Still, most Republicans, happy with Ryan, remain optimistic. — The Washington Post contributed to this report.

• Tim Pawlenty: The former Minnesota governor (pictured) and short-run presidential hopeful was starting to give off an “always the bridesmaid, never the brideâ€? vibe; Romney’s decision to pick Ryan affirms that. Pawlenty has now been shortlisted twice in a row and picked neither time — a political reality that virtually guarantees his life on the national stage (as a candidate at least) is likely over. (Pawlenty is the GOP version of Evan Bayh, the Indiana Democrat.) • “Safeâ€? picks: The last two Republican running mates have been risks — albeit it in two very, very different ways. The nomination of Sarah Palin (pictured) was John McCain’s attempt to energize the base, and shake up a race that his campaign simply didn’t think he could win. The Ryan pick is an attempt by Romney to show boldness and vision in a race he and his side very much think they can win. That doesn’t paint an encouraging picture for the so-called “safeâ€? picks like Pawlenty and Ohio Sen. Rob Portman in 2016, 2020 and beyond. When it comes to picking a VP, fortune may well favor the bold.

Fighting invasive cheatgrass with the ‘black fingers of death’

By Felicity Barringer New York Times News Service

SKULL VALLEY, Utah — The black spears, no longer than a baby’s eyelashes, protruded in a row from the seeds that nodded on the end of the grass stalk. Susan Meyer held the cheatgrass stem with one hand and pointed them out with the other. “These little marching armies of toothpicks here,�

Meyer said, “that’s it. That’s the black fingers of death.�

Her work these days is centered on figuring out how this fungus, which looks like a miniature mohawk haircut, does its lethal work on cheatgrass, perhaps the most disruptive invasive plant in the country — and how to help the tiny spears do more of it.

Black fingers, the fungus with the horror-movie handle, is the new artillery that wildland biologists are firing at cheatgrass, a weed that has remade the landscape of the Intermountain West.

It has eliminated large concentrations of sagebrush and other native shrubs and perennial grasses by always being first.

It germinates first, uses available moisture first, burns first and, finally, is the first to reappear in damaged landscapes. “Cheatgrass is a very insidious kind of biotic virus,� said Stephen Pyne, a Western fire historian at Arizona State University. “It takes over and rewrites the operating system.

Because it grows earlier, it can burn earlier,� then in its regrowth “drive off all the other competitors. That makes for a complete overthrow of the system.�

Mike Styler, head of the Utah Department of Natural Resources, said simply: “It’s changed the entire ecology of the West.�

But the black fingers of death — Pyrenophora semeniperda — may help restoration ecologists like Meyer reclaim some beachheads in the vast swath of land already conquered by cheatgrass.

How much territory has become home to only a monoculture of cheatgrass, or is at least dominated by it?

Estimates have been as high as 60 million acres, though most scientists now put the total at perhaps one-third of that.

What is of greater concern is how much it could spread, and how fire cycles have changed since cheatgrass made its way here from Europe, probably carried in bags of wheat seeds.

No one is certain when it arrived, but farmers were complaining about it more than 100 years ago.

An unpublished paper by Jennifer Balch, of the Penn State geography department, shows that fires occurred four times as often in cheatgrass landscapes in the West as in all other types of ground cover combined. The paper, which has been accepted by the journal Global Change, says that cheatgrass was a factor in nearly 25 percent of the 50 largest Western fires in the 1990s.

For decades, scientists have been trying to stop its advance, to little effect. Now Meyer and a few other scientists are exploring biological warfare. The new weapons, all fungi, are being tested here in Skull Valley, a place so thick with cheatgrass that a stubbly, bleachedblond carpet of it stretches to the hills on all sides.

The experiments depend on a fine-grained knowledge of the weed’s behavior. James McIver, of Oregon State University, who heads an interagency federal research effort on restoring sagebrush ecosystems, explained that cheatgrass — so called by farmers whose wheat yields dropped when it gained a foothold — “gets into interstices in the sagebrush plant, grows right under the sagebrush.�

Cattle, McIver said, prefer native perennial grasses, eating them when possible and leaving cheatgrass alone. In addition, said Rory Reynolds of Utah’s natural resources department, the plant’s natural rhythms give it an advantage in arid regions. Its seeds germinate in the fall instead of spring, and it begins to grow as the snows melt, getting to the precious moisture long before native plants and shrubs.

Michael Friberg / New York Times News Service

“It’s like fusion as an energy source. They say it’s the energy of the future. ... There’s the same kind of optimism about cheatgrass: ‘We’re going to get a handle on it.’ But it’s been going on for decades, and it’s getting worse.�

Ecologist Susan Meyer looks for signs of a fungus called “black fingers of death� on stalks of cheatgrass in Utah’s Skull Valley.

This is a crucial advantage in the high desert areas of Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington, where native plants depend on scarce water resources later in the spring. It is less of a factor in moisturerich areas to the east.

Cheatgrass grows throughout the contiguous U.S., but poses no threat to native vegetation outside the arid West.

The black fingers fungus, which like cheatgrass is native to the Eurasian steppe, attacks the cheatgrass seeds before they germinate. Robust cheatgrass plants can cover a square yard with as many as 25,000 seeds. “If we can get that down to 300 seeds, we consider that a successful biocontrol,� Meyer said.

The black fingers fungus does its work in early spring, before the plants’ seeds are spread. That gives scientists a fighting chance in trying to restore native bunchgrasses, like crested wheatgrass and shrubs like sagebrush and shadscale, the bristly ground cover of most of the high deserts in the 1800s.

After a successful application of the fungus, Meyer said, “crested wheatgrass seedings do not revert to cheatgrass.�

But black fungus is not uniformly lethal to cheatgrass seeds. Like a lion preying on antelope herds in the savanna, it eats the laggards — in this case, seeds that are slow to germinate or remain dormant well into the spring.

Other biological controls have been tried. In the experimental plot, Meyer pointed out another stalk of cheatgrass, whose seedpods looked ghostly, almost translucent.

Another fungus, called head smut, had effectively castrated the plant. It looks normal, but the plant’s flowers contain spores of head smut instead of its own seeds. Head smut has its own limitations. It is most lethal when fall temperatures are relatively warm.

Financial support for the fungus research has come from the Joint Fire Science Program of the National Interagency Fire Center, which just increased its earlier support of Meyer, bringing that total to $777,000. That is part of at least $5.2 million in federal research dollars spent on cheatgrass control since 2007, not counting a like amount spent defending sagebrush from cheatgrass. “I think we can get a biocontrol plan going in the next five

GI Bill

About the GI Bill

Continued from A1 Benefits allow eligible veterans to attend a public college or university for free for four years, as well as receive a monthly housing stipend and up to $1,000 a year for books. The Post-9/11 GI Bill is latest version of the law first signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944.

When Hensley returned from Iraq in 2007, his newest battles hardly resembled those he encountered on aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf or on fighter jets over Baghdad. He and his wife divorced, and Hensley eventually underwent counseling.

Inspired by the progress he gradually made, Hensley began considering leaving his job as a pilot for United Airlines. Counseling appealed to him, in part because relatively few veterans make it a career, he said. “I’m a little bit out of my element,� Hensley said. “A bunch of my friends had their own reintegration issues.�

Now, with the help of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, Hensley, who has three children, is pursuing a master’s degree in mental health counseling at the University of North Texas.

With the large number of troops coming home, it’s only natural that the bill would be an attractive option for soldiers looking to re-enter civilian life, said Tom Tarantino, deputy policy director for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. “We have an entire generation who has been fighting for 10 years,� Tarantino said. “People who are now GI Billeligible are going to be leaving service and doing other things with their lives.� He said he expects enrollment under the bill to increase in each of the next five years.

Since the bill took effect in August 2009, almost threequarters of a million vets and their dependents have used

• Most military veterans who use the Post-9/11 GI Bill attend two-year public institutions. • The majority of those enrolled are men between the ages of 25 and 34. • The most prevalent degrees include general studies, nursing, business administration, criminal justice and psychology. • Since 2009, $18 billion has been spent sustaining the program, including $8 billion in 2011 alone. • To learn more about the Post-9/11 GI Bill and to apply for benefits, visit gibill.va.gov.

the program to pursue some form of higher education.

Although the Post-9/11 GI Bill included new benefits, what has remained constant is the opportunity for an education that many men and women may otherwise have gone without.

Jim Hardwick’s introduction to the GI Bill goes back to World War II. He was on the USS Honolulu when it survived the attacks at Pearl Harbor. The ship went on to numerous naval battles throughout the South Pacific.

After the war, with the GI Bill, Hardwick earned an engineering degree in June 1951 from Southern Methodist University. Although he needed a part-time job to support his wife and newborn daughter, the bill afforded Hardwick the chance to stay in school. “I had no family support, and just going through high school was a tremendous struggle,� said Hardwick, who still maintains his engineering license. “All my tuition was paid, and I managed to struggle through and graduate.�

to 10 years,� Meyer said. “But there are a lot of other questions.� Chief among them: Will private industry want to collaborate with government and academic scientists, and will there be enough of a market for such an effort to be worth it? “That’s a big question,� Meyer said. “Is the government the only market and will it be able to afford the treatment?� She added. “It’s clearly going to take multiple tools� to control cheatgrass in any meaningful way.

The pressure to control cheatgrass is increasing. Creatures that depend on the sagebrush habitat, from butterflies to the greater sage grouse, which is being considered for protections under the Endangered Species Act, are severely stressed; helping them could mean curbs on ranching and oil and gas drilling operations from Arizona to Oregon.

Still, success in the battle against cheatgrass remains elusive. “It’s like fusion as an energy source,� said Bethany Bradley, an assistant professor of environmental conservation at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who has mapped cheatgrass expansion from space. “They say it’s the energy of the future, and it always will be. There’s the same kind of optimism about cheatgrass: ‘We’re going to get a handle on it.’ But it’s been going on for decades, and it’s getting worse.�

SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Gaming Continued from A1 And a backlash — on Twitter, in videos, on blogs and even in an online comic strip — has moved the issue beyond endless debate among gaming insiders to more public calls for change.

Executives in the $25 billion-a-year industry are taking note. One game designer’s online call for civility prompted a meeting with Microsoft executives about how to better police Xbox Live. In February, shortly after the “Cross Assault” tournament, LevelUp, an Internet broadcaster of gaming events, barred two commentators who made light of sexual harassment on camera and issued a formal apology, including statements from the commentators.

Even so, Tom Cannon, cofounder of the largest fighting game tournament, EVO, pulled his company’s sponsorship of the weekly LevelUp series, saying that “we cannot continue to let ignorant, hateful speech slide.”

“The nasty undercurrent in the scene isn’t a joke or a meme,” he said. “It’s something we need to fix.”

Bakhtanians, whose actions during the “Cross Assault” tournament were captured on video, later issued a statement in which he apologized if he had offended anyone. He also blamed “my own inability in the heat of the moment to defend myself and the community I have loved for over 15 years.”

But the issues raised by the “Cross Assault” episode gained more attention with Anita Sarkeesian’s campaign in May to raise $6,000 on Kickstarter to document how women are portrayed in video games. Her YouTube and Facebook pages were instantly flooded with hate-filled comments. People tried to hack her online accounts. She received violent personal threats.

Sarkeesian responded by documenting the harassment, posting online the doctored, pornographic images of herself that her detractors had created. Supporters of her efforts, aghast, donated more than $150,000, further angering her critics. A man from Ontario created an Internet game where players could “punch” her, layering bruises and cuts on her image until the screen turns red.

“The gaming industry is actually in the process of changing,” Sarkeesian said. “That’s a really positive thing, but I think there is a small group of male gamers who feel like gaming belongs to them, and are really terrified of that change happening.”

When Sam Killermann, a gamer in Austin, Texas, saw the reaction to Sarkeesian’s project, something “broke through,” he said. He began a campaign for “Gamers Against Bigotry,” asking people to sign a pledge supporting more positive behavior.

The site received 1,500 pledges before it was hacked, erasing

its list of names.

Like Sarkeesian, many women gamers are documenting their experiences on blogs like “Fat, Ugly or Slutty” (whose name comes from the typical insults women receive while playing against others online). It cheekily catalogs the slurs, threats and comeons women receive while playing games like “Resident Evil” or “Gears of War 3.”

Jessica Hammer, a longtime player of video games and a researcher at Columbia University, said the percentage of women playing such games online ranges from 12 percent to close to half, depending on the game type. Industry statistics from the Entertainment Software Association say 47 percent of game players are women, but that number is frequently viewed as so all-encompassing as to be meaningless, bundling Solitaire alongside “Diablo III.” Women report greater levels of harassment in more competitive games involving strangers. Some abandon anonymous play for safer communities or “clans” where good behavior is the norm.

In other game communities, however, sexual threats, taunts and come-ons are common, as is criticism that women’s presence is “distracting” or that they are simply trying to seek attention. Some have been offered money or virtual “gold” for online sex. Some have been stalked online and in person.

Stephen Toulouse, who was the head of enforcement for Xbox Live from 2007 until February, policed the most egregious behavior on the network, owned by Microsoft. And women were the most frequent target of harassment, he said.

In that role, Toulouse experienced the wrath of angry gamers firsthand, who figured out where he lived, then called the police with false reports about trouble at his house (more than once, SWAT teams were sent).

If players were reported for bad behavior, they could be disciplined by being muted on voice chat or barred temporarily. At least once a day, Toulouse said, the company blocked a specific console’s serial number from ever accessing the network again.

But policing the 2 million or 3 million players who are active on Xbox Live at any given time is hard. Just as on the broader Internet, there are people who delight in piquing anger or frustration in others.

Still, says James Portnow, a game designer who has worked on titles including “Call of Duty” and “Farmville,” it’s a problem that needs to be addressed industrywide. “For the longest time, people have seen games as a children’s pastime, and we as an industry have stood behind this idea.

But that’s not true any longer.

We are a real mass medium, and we have a real effect on the culture. We have to take a step beyond this idea that nothing we could possibly do could be negative, or hurt people.”

Mirror Pond Continued from A1 Oberst said Smith’s title search is the only evidence he’s seen suggesting the bottom of the pond belongs to the McKays. “The city has no records,” Oberst said.

Smith wrote in an email that he does not have copies of the deeds.

A search of Deschutes County Assessor’s records turned up no evidence that the McKay family owns or pays taxes on land under the Deschutes River.

Questions about who owns Mirror Pond are also connected to a broader debate in Oregon over who owns rivers. A 2010 bill that would have clear usage rights was not approved, and instead a task force was formed and continues to examine the issue.

Silt: an old problem For nearly two years, the Mirror Pond Steering Committee has been meeting to address silt building up in the pond along the Deschutes River in downtown Bend. The committee has discussed leaving the pond alone, dredging the pond, and removing the dam, although members have focused on the dredging option. The Mirror Pond Management Board, an even broader group, has been discussing the same topic for three years, and the city has contemplated dredging the pond since at least 2003, said Tom Hickmann, the city’s engineer and assistant public works director.

The city last dredged Mirror Pond to remove silt buildup in 1984. Hickmann said he did not know why ownership of land under the pond was not an issue in the 1980s. However, environmental regulations have made dredging more complicated over time. Liability issues, such as who must clean up any toxic substances that might be unearthed beneath the mud, are now a hurdle to dredging.

“Today, if there were trace elements of heavy metals or those kinds of things that are now required to be evaluated when you dredge, who would deal with that is a bigger issue,” Hickmann said.

Canoeists paddle Mirror Pond in Bend circa 1910. Outdoor enthusiasts might be surprised that parts of a landmark like the pond could be privately owned, but laws that allow the public to play in rivers don’t prevent land underneath the water from being owned.

West, according to documents at the Deschutes County Historical Society.

After the Bend Company formed, it purchased all but 10 acres of the land held by Alexander Drake, another major player in the building of Bend, said Bruce McKay. The Bend Company owned 3,000 acres of timberland, 2,000 acres of agricultural land, 1,400 acres of land next to the town, 1,300 platted lots in the town, a sawmill, the power and lighting plants, the city water system and various resource rights, according to a 1992 article in the Central Oregon Business Journal.

The Bend Company operated a mill where Columbia Park is today. The mill burned down in 1915, so Clyde McKay decided to shift his business interests to real estate, Bruce McKay said.

While most riverfront property lot lines in those days stretched to the middle of the river, Clyde McKay cut them off at the bank and kept the property under the pond, Bruce McKay said. Decades later, Clyde McKay’s businesses floundered in the Great Depression, but he was able to keep the pond property and pass it on to his family.

Bruce McKay said it became a family joke. “We ended up with a bunch of mud under the river,” he said.

A family trust, with seven trustees, now owns about 90 percent of the land under Mirror Pond, Bruce McKay said.

McKay said he was the only trustee willing or able to talk to The Bulletin last week.

As to the question of how to handle the silt buildup in the pond, Bruce McKay said he has no opinion.

Although the Mirror Pond

Steering Committee is discussing whether the city or the park district should buy the land under Mirror Pond from the McKay family, Oberst, the city’s director of community development, said he was not sure if the city or district would want to own it. And it’s unclear whether the family would sell it.

Bruce McKay did not answer the question of whether the family would be interested in selling the property, only saying that “it’s something that has been in the family a long time.”

The Bend Company and the McKay family sold land around Mirror Pond to the city in the past. In 1921, the Women’s Civic Improvement League gathered signatures to lobby the City Council to purchase land for Drake Park from the Bend Company. Voters then approved a bond measure that raised $21,000 to purchase 10.5 acres for the park, according to a document at the Deschutes County Historical Society. In 1982, the Bend Foundation purchased another piece of property on the east bank of the Deschutes River from a daughter-in-law of Clyde McKay for $350,000. The foundation donated the land to the park district, which used it to expand Drake Park, The Bulletin reported.

Privately owned For the boaters who paddle around Mirror Pond, it may come as a surprise that the landmark could be privately owned.

State laws allow the public to wade, swim and float on rivers around Oregon, but that doesn’t mean the land underneath the water belongs to the public, said Julie Curtis,

A7

spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of State Lands.

The land is only publicly owned if the river has been determined to be navigable, via a study or declaration, or where tides influence the river, according to the department’s website.

That means it is possible private parties own the bottom of the Deschutes, although the department has no record of a private owner.

Rick Allen, chairman of the Oregon State Marine Board, was involved in the process of designating the John Day River as a navigable waterway. Members of the community could initiate the same process to gain public ownership of the section of the Deschutes River that includes Mirror Pond, Allen said.

“It’s a long process, but the bar to have it declared navigable is normally not that difficult to make,” Allen said.

Mapping river ownership In April, the Deschutes County Clerk’s Office recorded a deed transferring property in downtown Bend from Bruce McKay’s mother to the trust that includes Bruce and his siblings.

This included but was “not limited to the property submersed beneath the Deschutes River,” according to the deed.

With such a vague legal description, it is difficult to search for prior records of the McKay family’s ownership of land under the river. The county’s chief cartographer, Greg Bates, said the McKay family would need more than this deed to prove ownership if they want the county to generate a tax lot for the property.

“Somebody would have to produce possibly a title report or something equivalent to that to show they do indeed own it,” Bates said. “That deed that was recorded, there’s nothing to back it up.”

Ownership questions such as this might be part of the reason the county never drew tax lots for land people owned under the rivers.

“They probably didn’t know who owned it,” Bates said. “We have just not made any effort to do anything different than what was already decided.”

Family claims ownership The McKay family traces ownership of the land under Mirror Pond back to 1911, when Clyde McKay and his business partners formed the Bend Company.

“It’s been in the family for a long time,” said Bruce McKay, 60, who is a jewelry designer in Portland.

Clyde McKay came to Bend from Minnesota in the early 1900s, and helped transform the timber industry from a small local concern into a supplier of lumber to states across the

Cyberattacks Continued from A1 “It’s finally come to everybody’s realization that cyberspace is not just a lot of ones and zeros that is used for the Internet,” said Chase Cunningham, a former Navy cryptologist who is now chief of cyber analytics for Decisive Analytics Corp. “There’s a darker, more malicious aspect to it.”

Advances in technology have made life more convenient, but each additional piece of electronics — smartphone, laptop, iPad tablet — creates a possible “compromise point,” or vulnerability, he said.

“Everything is built for availability or usability. It’s not built for security,” he said.

For companies and government agencies, the same thing is true on a larger scale.

“Everything is networked so people can monitor stuff. But everything is connected, and if it is connected, that means it’s vulnerable,” he said.

As online capabilities become more sophisticated, the ability to produce results beyond cyberspace has increased, he said. In 2009, as part of an experiment called the Aurora Project, researchers remotely accessed a diesel generator and made it explode. “(They) showed you can blow up a piece of machinery with a keystroke,” Cunningham said.

More recently, a piece of “malware,” short for malicious software, targeted centrifuges used by Iran to enrich uranium, causing them to spin at the wrong speed and rendering them ineffective.

“There’s a real worry that (malware) could be turned against a specific piece of (American) infrastructure,” such as a city’s electric grid, he said. Attackers could also reprogram a machine to put too much chlorine in a supply of drinking water.

Cunningham envisioned an attack on a pharmaceutical company that would alter the medicine it was producing to render it useless.

And cyberattacks could be so narrowly tailored that they could target a specific individual, he said. One patient remotely reprogrammed the machine that administered his insulin doses just to show it could be done, he said. Wirelessly controlled defibrillators could be tweaked to alter a person’s heartbeat, he said.

It sounds like something out of science fiction, he said, but hackers will find ways to change existing systems.

Ryan Kazanciyan, a principal consultant for the information security company Mandiant, often conducts forensic investigations after a client company’s network has been breached.

Protecting the country’s national security interests online extends beyond government computers and networks, he said. With numerous contractors contributing to large projects, a hostile incursion into a single network could result in the entire project being compromised. This happened with the Joint Strike Fighter, also known as the F-35 Lightning II, whose plans were recently stolen by the Chinese.

But while doomsday scenarios — a crashed power grid, a polluted water supply — and high-profile security breaches attract most of the attention, Kazanciyan sees the “silent and continuous wave of business attacks” as an even bigger threat.

“It’s a lot cheaper to steal intellectual property than it is to generate it yourself,” he said.

In many cases, the attackers are groups that are sponsored by governments looking to advance their economic positions by targeting private industry, he said.

This means a broad array of industries is subject to hostile hacks, he said. Multinational companies involved in renewable energy, mining for highvalue natural resources and satellite technology are particularly attractive targets, he said.

Kazanciyan worries much more about the effect of these kind of attacks than a terrorist-style attack on a major piece of infrastructure.

“If I wanted to target somebody, is it more profitable for me to continuously steal from them, or do something that’s overt, destructive and provokes a kinetic (military or political) response?” he said.

For companies, it can be almost impossible to protect every vulnerability, but sometimes just increasing security

efforts is the best strategy, he said.

“A lot of times, the winning scenario is you become too expensive (to steal from),” he said. “It just becomes less trouble to get the data from another source.”

Cunningham shares Kazanciyan’s concern over corporate cyber espionage. While the government and large companies have the money and

“Everything is built for availability or usability. It’s not built for security. ...

Everything is networked so people can monitor stuff. But everything is connected, and if it is connected, that means it’s vulnerable.”

— Chase Cunningham, cybersecurity analyst

wherewithal to fight hostile intrusions, small- and mediumsized companies might not dedicate the resources necessary to protect themselves.

“The guys who are really

good at this stuff, they stay so low on the threshold that no one but the government or big companies will even know how to detect them,” he said.

Congress’ efforts to address

the problem are a good start, but it’s difficult to craft legislation that can deal with all the varied ways that malicious actors are exploiting cyberspace, he said. Ultimately, it may take

a high-profile attack to make everyone realize how vulnerable America is, he said.

“It’s going to take a pretty major event to show the world writ large that this is very, very bad and things can be affected physically by bits and bytes,” he said. “I don’t know what it’s going to be, or when it’s going to be, but it’s going to happen.”

Bike path will link Bend, forest • $1M grant paving way to planned Deschutes welcome center

By Dylan J. Darling The Bulletin

A $1 million grant will pave a path from Bend to the new Deschutes National Forest welcome center planned for Century Drive.

The path will most likely have an asphalt surface. The plan is to encourage forest visitors to come to the welcome center on foot or bicycle.

“We are trying to improve

access that people would have to the national forest on nonmotorized trails,” said John Allen, Deschutes National Forest supervisor.

It will be another segment in a potential loop going from Bend to the welcome center, Sunriver, the Lava Lands visitor center, the High Desert Museum and back to Bend, he said. Total mileage for the loop hasn’t been determined

because designs for all the sections aren’t finalized.

“We are going to do our best to be on existing roads or routes or adjacent to existing roads,” Allen said. “We are going to try to avoid pioneering new trails through undisturbed areas.”

Allen said the design for the first section of the loop — a five-mile paved path between Sunriver and Lava Lands

— should be finished this summer, and the full route should be built by early next summer.

“So hopefully the second half of summer and fall it will be available for use,” he said.

A $1.87 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration is covering the cost of the path between Sunriver and Lava Lands, said Jean Nelson-Dean, Deschutes National Forest spokeswoman.

Tasha Harper, front, of Bend, and Karen Bilyeu, rear, also of Bend, rake through and shovel out trash from a cinder pit off Highway 46 southwest of Bend on Saturday morning. The cleanup project was organized by Calvin Earp, and family members Harper, Earp’s aunt, and Bilyeu, Earp’s grandmother, helped in the efforts Saturday.

Teen’s cinder pit cleanup attracts few volunteers

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

A year in the making, Calvin Earp’s forest cleanup on Saturday proved to be a bit of a disappointment.

The 18-year-old attracted just two volunteers to assist him and his family in cleaning up a pair of cinder pits on the Cascade Lakes Highway southwest of Bend. The father-son team spent a couple of hours helping Earp, his aunt and his grandparents pick up shell casings and other debris left behind from years of the pit’s unofficial designation as a shooting range.

By 10 a.m., it was back to Earp and his family.

On his hands and knees in the cinders, Earp plucked at .22 shells, tiny shards of glass, and the occasional wisp of polyester stuffing, presumably the remains of a pillow

or mattress used as a target.

“I can’t get everything,” he said. “It’s just impossible.”

A high school senior-tobe in Oak Park, Calif., Earp

has spent a good part of his summers for the past several years in Bend to visit his father and other family members.

Charter school to open new campus

By Ben Botkin The Bulletin

REDMOND — Redmond Proficiency Academy will have another campus this fall as the growing charter school expands to also serve middle school students.

RPA, which opened in 2009 to high school students, is leasing the Hartman facility from Redmond School District.

The facility, which the charter school is calling its “west campus,” will have sixth- through ninth-grade students.

One wing of the Hartman building will be devoted to classes for sixththrough eighth-grade students. Another wing will be a freshman academy focused on ninth-grade students who previously have attended the downtown campus.

“We could not fit ninth through 12th grade into the downtown facility,” said RPA Assistant Director Greg Scott. “The numbers really drove the decision to have ninth grade start out at the west campus.”

A third wing at the facility will have art and music programs, which includes space for a band room and small rooms for solo practice sessions.

The school is also planning a shop class for students to make skateboards and surfboards.

Scott said getting the building ready didn’t require major renovations — mainly just painting.

At this point, enrollment looks like it will be about 740 students for sixth through 12th grades, Scott said, adding that there are waiting lists for each grade.

RPA has a proficiencybased model in which high school students can advance in the coursework at their own pace and pursue tailor-made classes and projects based on their interests and strengths.

Having the freshmen at the west campus won’t prevent them from accessing advanced high school courses offered downtown, Scott said.

The school is working with Cascades East Transit so students have regular routes between the campuses, he said.

The Redmond School District didn’t need the Hartman building because of the opening of Ridgeview High School.

A destroyed computer monitor rests among other trash collected by Karen Bilyeu, at right, and other members of the cleanup crew at a cinder pit site southwest of Bend on Saturday.

Last year, he tried to put together a public cleanup after finding large amounts of trash at another unofficial range off China Hat Road, but was blocked by the Forest Service. Instead, Earp was allowed only a small cleanup, inviting only family and friends, and told to try again this year.

But despite fliers distributed around town, media coverage, online organizing and signs directing would-be volunteers to the cleanup site, this year’s cleanup looked a lot like last year’s.

Just the same, Earp and his family collected a staggering amount of trash from the cinder pits, filling the back of a large Forest Service truck with scrap metal, and roughly 40 large garbage bags with nearly everything it’s possible to shoot.

A Bend railroad excursion from Seattle, that promises to be the biggest thing of its kind yet seen in Central Oregon, is due to arrive here on Sunday, September 1, and the excursionists will remain over Monday, which is Labor Day.

W.D. Cheney, president of the Bend Park Company, is the moving spirit of the excursion. While complete plans are as yet not arranged, it is practically assured that there will be a train of Pullmans, with a dining car. Previous to the date, the railroads are to advertise the excursion extensively in Seattle and Washington.

As the cost of the round trip from Seattle to Bend will be but $25, including berth and meals, and as the excursion will be boosted by a tremendous amount of advertising, and, above all, as scores of Seattle people are owners

of Bend property and thousands are vitally interested in the town, there seems every reason to believe that a large crowd will take this opportunity to get to Bend and spend a few days here.

It is Mr. Cheney’s purpose, according to tentative plans, to have all those who come on the trip taken around Bend and the adjacent country in automobiles, and to tender to the visitors a big banquet.

One carload of the Seattleites will be members of the Band Park Company’s selling force, which numbers more than 25 persons at pres-

ent. However, the excursion will in no way be a real estate selling affair but be entirely a business men’s special train, arranged to give as many Puget Sound people as possible an exceptional opportunity to see Bend and Central Oregon.

Fruit prospers here even without proper attention An exceptionally good year for fruit is reported by George A. Jones of the Pilot Butte dairy ranch, which lies just east of town. Apples, plums and prunes are maturing well and despite the fact that little scientific attention

been given the orchard of some 450 trees, prolific yields are assured. The greatest number of trees are apples.

Already a good crop of cherries has been picked. The few peach trees were fairly well loaded, but too many people wanted them enough to annex them, for any to be left for the owners.

“If we used the same careful and scientific methods of conducting our orchard as they do at Hood River,” said Mr. Jones, “I have not the slightest doubt that these Bend trees and others would produce well every season.”

where they have poop bags, they kept big ones here on site?” he said, to no one in particular.

Despite the low turnout, Earp said putting together this year’s cleanup was a learning experience. He’s considering giving it another try next year, but if he does, he said he’ll put more time into organizing it, possibly by contacting schools or other groups to assemble a reliable core of volunteers.

Continued from B1 The latest grant, received last week, for the path between Bend and the welcome center is also from the Federal Highway Administration and is for $1.06 million.

The path from Bend to the welcome center is expected to cover about four miles, extending from the existing path along Century Drive to the building planned for the intersection of Century Drive and Forest Road 41.

Design of the welcome center should be finished next March and construction is expected to start next June, Nelson-Dean said.

While just learning of the new path Thursday, Susan Bonacker, owner of Sunnyside Sports in Bend, said she supports anything that facilitates people riding bikes.

“Anything that is good for bikes is good for us,” she said.

Among the critics of the welcome center, Scott Silver of Wild Wilderness, a Bend-based conservation group, said it could be difficult for the forest to continue to receive federal grants for its planned loop.

Calvin Earp, 18, visiting Bend for the summer, picks up trash from a cinder pit site southwest of Bend on Saturday morning.

Earp organized the cleanup project.

Pit Continued from B1 The users of the pit have left behind an impressive collection of bullet-riddled detritus. Half a “Dukes of Hazzard” DVD and the remnants of a Lawrence Welk record collection lay in the cinders, warping under the heat of the sun. There’s a coffee maker and a toaster, a handful of TVs and computer monitors, a gallon jug of pourable blue cheese, and hundreds upon hundreds of bottles, cans, clay pigeons and shell casings. Two shopping carts are found nestled in the bushes on the edge of the pit.

While scooping at a pile of shotgun shell casings, Earp stopped and looked up. He had an idea, a way for shooters to keep the cinder pits a bit cleaner.

“What if like at the dog park

“What if like at the dog park where they have poop bags, they kept big ones here on site?”

Pay tribute to Amelia Earhart Atchison, Kansas: Amelia Earhart’s home town held a memorial service last night, the nearest approach to a funeral that could be provided for the woman flier who was lost in the Pacific Ocean a month ago.

Hundreds were there who had known Miss Earhart in her childhood.

The community band played “America.” Rev. Tillotson of the First Methodist church offered the opening prayer. He said that although there was slight possibility of her being alive, this town of her birth had hope for her.

Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City was the principal speaker. He quoted from a poem that Miss Earhart once wrote for a magazine.

“How can life grant the boon of living, compensate for the dull, gray ugliness and pregnant hate, unless we dare?”

“It is this very quality in Miss Earhart,” Dr. Jenkins said, “that lifted her above all petty rivalries and jealousies, criticism and condemnation.

How do we know that this flight failed or that it wasn’t a great triumph?”

Barrage of bottles injures movie stars Two men were booked at the city jail in connection with a whiskey bottle hurling bout at the Olympic auditorium last night that slightly injured Chico Marx and showered Al Jolson and his wife Ruby Keeler with flying glass.

Jolson “mammy singer” of the stage and screen, outraged at the peril to his wife, interrupted the boxing program to challenge the whole gallery to come down and fight. The bottle had sailed down from the gallery.

“Come on down, you coward”, he screamed.

Miss Keeler was not hurt, though several pieces of glass struck her face.

Marx, the screen comedian, was cut on the hand by a glass splinter.

The bottle left the gallery, 50 feet above, during the seventh round of a dull fight between George Godfrey, a giant man, and Hank Hankinson, Ohio heavyweight.

Jolson and Miss Keeler, his actress wife, ringside seats where the bottle struck. Glass splinters and remnants of the whiskey sprayed over them.

Max Baer, former heavyweight champion who was refereeing, stopped the fight while Jolson made his challenge.

Theodore Watts was booked on suspicion of assault with a

deadly weapon.

Russians successfully launch third spaceman The Soviet Union put up its third man in space today, and appeared to be planning to keep him up there for days if all goes well. Six hours after the bachelor cosmonaut was launched, the Russians said he had made at least four orbits of the earth.

The Russians also coupled their launching of Maj. Andrian Nikolayev with an appeal to the United States to halt all high-altitude nuclear tests.

The appeal said it was known that such tests could “jeopardize” the safety of the Soviet cosmonaut.

(The Russians have set off at least three nuclear tests in a current series underway in Siberia and the Arctic, but which have not been announced to the Soviet people. The United States recently concluded a series of high-altitude nuclear tests in the Pacific but, except for the possibility of one or two more, the series is completed.)

Nikolayev, a onetime lumber jack, was launched from an undesignated place in the Soviet Union aboard the spaceship Vostok III. Nikolayev was reported to have withstood the blastoff without ill effect and to be “feeling well,” at one point he spoke by two way radio with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, vacationing on the Black Sea coast. They exchanged felicitations and congratulations.

At 156 miles, Nikolayev was flying 46 miles higher than either previous Russian spacemen, Maj. Yuri Gagarin or Maj. Gherman Titov. But both American astronauts went higher — Lt. Col. John Glenn to 160 miles and Scott Carpenter to 164 miles.

Film world shocked

by Marilyn’s death Entertainment world personalities and millions of ordinary movie and television fans experienced a shock wave of sadness today as an aftermath of the sudden death of blonde screen star Marilyn Monroe.

News of Miss Monroe’s death from an overdose of sleeping pills flashed around the world Sunday.

Clark Gable’s widow was one of the first to learn of the blonde beauty’s death. Gable and Miss Monroe co-starred in “The Misfits,” adapted from playwright Arthur Miller’s story. It was the last picture for both the famed stars.

Typical of the reactions at the personal level was that of actor Dean Martin, a close friend.

“I just can’t believe it .... I just can’t believe it,” he said. “She was a wonderful person and a

wonderful talent.”

Martin was Miss Monroe’s co-star in the film “Something’s Got To Give.” The 36year-old actress was fired and the film shelved because of her frequent absences from the set.

‘From Oregon with Love’: a good message A Japanese television show created by an Oregon travel agency has become one of the top-rated programs in Japan and a good way for the state to advertise itself in the Orient.

“From Oregon With Love” has increased the number of people in Japan who know something about the state, provided advertising for American companies and even caused hundreds of tourists to invade a Central Oregon ranch where the program is filmed.

“We came up with a script to get exposure for Oregon,” said Sho Dozono, vice president of operations for the Asumano Travel Agency, the Portland firm that developed the idea for the show. “They had never heard of Oregon and had never been here. We helped write the story.”

The program — which tells the story of an orphan who comes to live with his aunt on a ranch in Central Oregon — began filming in 1984 as a series of 13 hourlong shows.

In each of the three years since then, the show’s crew of about 40 has returned to make a two-hour sequel.

“It’s kind of their ‘Little House on the Prairie,’ ” state Tourism Director Ed Remington said.

“It’s a big boost into our economy,” said Marjean Whitehouse, executive director of the Madras Chamber of Commerce. “The spinoff has been tremendous. We have absolutely been swamped this year with Japanese visiting the location sites.”

She said last year 11 busloads of Japanese sailors in Portland for the Rose Festival visited the area.

Jeannie Belle, who owns the North Butte Ranch where much of the series is filmed, said tourists often stop and want to tour the ranch, even including her house.

Belle, whose parents homesteaded the ranch in 1910, said local officials convinced her in 1984 to let the series be filmed there.

“Nobody else in the country would have it and they knew I was soft-headed,” Belle said.

“They gave me a song and dance.”

Dozono said a study showed that before the series began only about 10 percent of the people in Japan had ever heard of Oregon. In 1984 after the original series ran, the figure jumped to 78 percent.

O N UO student to live in ‘tiny house’ she built Universities weigh benefits of independent governance

By Randi Bjornstad The Register-Guard

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

SALEM — A proposal to free some of Oregon’s public universities from the grips of the statewide higher education board has garnered mixed reviews from the seven university presidents.

Some love it, some hate it, others are somewhere in the middle. Regardless, the issue is certain to be a hot topic for the Legislature next year, and a group of wealthy donors has put up more than $400,000 to be sure of it.

University of Oregon and Portland State University officials argue that they can’t reach their full potential while so many key decisions are made by the Legislature or the State Board of Higher Education.

They’ve asked the Legislature to create new governing boards, specific to each institution, that would take on the oversight of many of their most important affairs — hiring and firing a president, making decisions about salaries and other spending, and setting tuition.

Administrators at several of the other schools, however, worry that the universities will end up competing instead of collaborating; that the four regional schools will lose clout; or that higher education would end up with yet another layer of bureaucracy and micromanagement.

A task force created by the legislature has been studying the issue for months and is writing a bill that lawmakers will consider next year. The panel must have a draft ready

by Aug. 15 and will take public comment for 30 days.

Oregon’s public four-year colleges are currently governed by 13 people appointed by the governor to the higher education board. They hire and fire presidents, set budgets and tuition, and determine each school’s niche in the whole system.

“There’s only so much they can know, in fact, there’s very little they can know about any one institution,” said Wim Wiewel, president of PSU. “It’s not because they aren’t good and smart and dedicated people. They just can’t know too much about any one of them.”

A board that’s dedicated to PSU and accountable for its success, Wiewel argued, could help him strategize about the university’s future. Moreover, he said some donors are reluctant to give money because the statewide board, not the school, has ultimate control over the finances.

Some of the other presidents see it differently.

“The seven institutions should continue working as a system, collaborating, design-

Little ad

ing approaches together that will attract, retain and educate more Oregonians,” Mary Cullinan, South Oregon University president, wrote to lawmakers.

“Collaboration will be more challenging if we have independent university boards.”

If the dominant universities get institutional boards, the smaller schools will probably follow suit, Cullinan wrote.

The proposals under consideration wouldn’t completely eliminate the authority of the statewide board over the schools that get their own governing body. Details are still being worked out, but the statewide board would likely continue to be responsible for requesting money from the Legislature and coordinating academic programs — an attempt to keep the schools from competing with each other for money or students.

“What I don’t want is another board telling me how to run the university,” said Ed Ray, Oregon State president. “I’ve got a board. I don’t need another board. And I think they (UO and PSU) don’t need another board, but — you know what? — they’re grown-ups and they’re going to make their own decisions.”

Ray has said Ohio State University had its own governing board while he was an administrator there, and the board often micromanaged university operations. He said administrators and the board never discussed needs of the state or the higher education system as a whole.

The debate over institutional boards is not especially new, but it became a hot-button political debate late last year, when the statewide board fired then-UO President Richard Lariviere. He had aggressively lobbied to get more independence for the UO, with its own governing board and a new funding stream.

A 2011 bill gave the seven public universities and the statewide chancellor’s office, as a group, more control over their own finances, but it retained the governance model.

While discussion of boards and governance has dominated legislative discussion of the university system in recent years, the schools are still struggling to make ends meet. State funding, adjusted for inflation, has been relatively flat for more than a decade and universities have raised tuition precipitously to make up for the difference.

“No governance system, in whatever form, can make up for disinvestment in higher education by state legislatures,” Oregon Institute of Technology President Christopher Maples told the legislative panel in June.

EUGENE — Most people who come to the University of Oregon this fall to start a Ph.D. program probably will scramble to find an affordable apartment or a house to rent for the five to seven years it could take to complete the degree.

Not April Anson.

She’ll be moving down from Portland in about a month, and she’s bringing her home — her “tiny house,” to be more accurate — with her.

For the past couple of months, 33-year-old Anson and her friends have been planning, measuring, sawing and hammering their way toward completion of what might look like a child’s playhouse. But to the 1996 Churchill High School graduate, the 19-foot-by-8-foot structure, built on a heavy metal trailer chassis, will be home.

“I’ve always dreamed of, in some way, building my own home,” Anson said. “The idea of having a hand in creating the space you live in really appeals to me.”

Even, or maybe especially, when it means occupying an interior living space of give-or-take 130 square feet, although that’s considerably larger than the first house she “built.”

“I did have a playhouse when I was a kid,” Anson said. “It was made of cardboard washer and dryer boxes, with washcloths for curtains. It was in my mother’s garage.”

The plans for her grown-up house, on her Facebook page, show a 2½-foot-by-2½-foot porch that opens into a living room 6½ feet by 7½ feet.

Beyond that is a kitchen, on the right, measuring 4 feet by 6 feet next to a bathroom that is 3 feet by 6 feet. Up above, a 6-foot-square loft is large enough to accommodate a queen-size mattress with storage around the edges.

“In a structure this small, one benefit is that you can almost survive off the scraps from larger projects,” she said.

The final cost of Anson’s tiny house will be between $8,000 and $9,000. She will park it on a piece of family-

owned land, where she can get electrical service until she eventually installs solar panels. So-called gray water from sinks and shower will be filtered, and sewage will be pumped out and taken away for disposal. “My plan is to keep working, to make living in the tiny house as self-contained as possible,” she said.

As she wrote on her blog, Anson plans to live in her tiny house for the duration of her studies at UO — and maybe beyond. “In this way, I hope to live a little smaller, leave a little (less), and learn in what ways formal study can be acted in the everyday.”

In a way, nothing could be more appropriate for a person in the literature and the environment program, which examines the relationship between the physical qualities of nature and the way they have been portrayed, valued and manipulated culturally and politically.

The discipline is sometimes referred to as “ecocriticism,” which dates academically in this country to the mid-1990s but sends its roots even deeper, from the poets and writers of the 19th century to the much earlier expressions of nature in the oral histories of native populations.

While all that may sound hifalutin, in the same way, building her own house has given Anson a similar and much deeper appreciation of the intricacies involved in creating a place to live.

Another premise in building her tiny house has been

the determination to reuse or recycle as many materials as she can in putting it together.

She found her desk sitting on a curb, awaiting the garbage truck. A sink came from an old trailer home belonging to an aunt. Some barn wood that would have been discarded otherwise will cover her interior walls.

“Insulation was really a huge pain,” Anson said. “I was looking for reclaimed insulation, but I needed the rigid type to provide stability for driving the house down the road. But I’ve done as much as I can.”

Even friends have been reused, in a nice sense of the word.

“I have one friend who’s kind of a dreamer, who always wanted to build a tiny house,” Anson said. “Since I decided that’s what I wanted to do, Jason (Reitz) has been there working on it every step of the way, because he knows a lot about how to do something like this.”

Even so, “the reality of what we’ve taken on hits us (anew)

every week,” she said.

Another friend from her high school days at Churchill, who now owns a recycling center in Durango, Colo., saw her project on Facebook and became so enthused that he traveled to Portland recently to spend five days working on the tiny house.

Anson’s mother, Eugene resident Cathy Spoor, believes the tiny house project fits right in with her daughter’s eclectic interests and skills. As a child, Anson was enthusiastic about school, both academically and in sports, where she played volleyball and also was on the cheerleading squad.

When Anson won a spot in the UO Ph.D. program, “we were happy that she would be in Eugene, and we would have loved to have had her live here in our home, but my husband is allergic to cats, and she has a cat,” Spoor said. “But she had seen something online about the tiny house movement, and she and Jason got really excited about doing it.”

The impetus for the tiny house movement began about 1998, when Sarah Susanka — a woman in her mid-50s who, by the way, earned her bachelor’s degree in architecture at the University of Oregon — wrote the best-seller, “The Not So Big House.”

Her message, to urge people to think “not just about how we inhabit our homes, but also about how we inhabit our planet and even our dayto-day lives,” spread quickly as an antidote to the “McMansion” trend in home construction. It captured the imagination of many people such as Anson who see merit in going much smaller even than Susanka’s own architectural mantra.

T W Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, looses goats at its weedy well sites

By Scott Maben The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash.

Jim Wilson / New York Times News Service

The Harvey O. Banks pumping plant sits near Tracy, Calif. Plans to build twin 35-mile tunnels that would tap water from the Sacramento River delta has rattled opponents who say the tunnels will reduce the amount of fresh water in the delta and cause irreparable damage to fish and farmland by raising the level of salt water.

California farmers fear impact of water pipelines

By Norimitsu Onishi New York Times News Service

COURTLAND, Calif. — On the last Sunday of July, this small town in the Sacramento River’s delta takes a pause from the peak of the pear harvest season by holding its annual pear fair. A pear run, a pear parade, a pear pie eating contest and a pear fair queen are as much a part of life’s rhythm here as the pruning, picking and packing of pears.

But not far from the booths offering baskets of the fruit, and pear drinks and pear sausage, there were hints this summer that something was ruffling Courtland. At the same booth where a handwritten sign advertised “Pear oatmeal cookies, 2 for $3,” there were pointed political messages like this one: “Build the tunnel. Kill the delta.”

Just a few days earlier, state and federal officials announced plans to build twin 35-mile tunnels that would tap water from the Sacramento River at intake stations here.

Like highways with no exits, the $14 billion giant pipelines would run under the delta in a straight line and deliver the water to aqueducts that feed water to large corporate farms and densely populated regions in Central and Southern California.

Supporters say the pipelines will improve the environment of an increasingly fragile delta by replacing the pumps that now suck water directly

from the southern delta. More than anything else, backers — led by Gov. Jerry Brown, who failed in his bid to build a similar project in his first term as governor three decades ago — say the tunnels will secure a supply of water to California’s most economically vital areas.

But opponents, including elected officials and farmers from this area, say the tunnels will reduce the amount of fresh water in the delta and cause irreparable damage to fish and farmland by raising the level of salt water. Much of the delta is classified as prime farmland and produced about $800 million in agricultural products in 2009, but the output is dwarfed by counties to the south, whose agricultural production totaled about $25 billion.

More than 1,000 miles of rivers and sloughs lace the 500,000-acre delta, where 57 major reclaimed islands are ringed by more than 1,100 miles of aging levees. Here in the upper delta, the least urbanized area of the region, small towns invariably described as sleepy dot winding levee roads.

There are family-owned general stores and no chain stores. Old Victorian houses belonging to farm owners can be seen from the levees, as well as encampments for the migrant workers during harvest. Vestiges of ethnic groups that built the levees or farmed

the delta can be found in this area’s fading Chinatowns and Japantowns, reinforcing the impression of an earlier time.

In Courtland, population 355, there is anxiety that the tunnels will threaten that way of life.

The Gold Rush brought a pear rush here. David Elliot, an ancestor of the Elliots, another old pear farming family here, imported the first Bartlett pear trees from France during the Gold Rush.

Some of those trees survive on the family’s land on Randall Island and still produce pears.

“It’s a special feeling that I’m picking from the same pear trees that my father did and that his father did,” said Richard Elliot Jr., 25, the sixth generation in the family business.

Increasing salt water would have the greatest impact on farms in the delta south of here. But two of the water intake stations could be built near the Elliots’ Victorian home and a 200-acre farm that they acquired two decades ago and diversified with cherries and apples.

“It’s all developed now, and we’re just waiting for everything to come on, and now they want to take it from us,” said Richard Elliot Sr. “This is just a lovely place to live,” he said. “It’s kind of secluded. It’s quiet. We’ve always been kind of left alone until now.”

Coeur d’Alene got its goats, and the city isn’t the least bit annoyed by it.

City water officials long have wanted to use goats to mow down weeds at municipal well sites, but a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rule prohibits livestock at such sources of drinking water.

The city’s water department said today it was able to convince state regulators that goats don’t pose the same health threat as cows, whose manure can contaminate groundwater with the E. coli bacteria.

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has granted the city a waiver to use goats for weed control at any of its nine well sites.

The city began this weekend with a tribe of 20 to 25 pygmy goats inside a fenced well near the traffic circle at Kathleen Avenue and Fourth Street, south of Coeur d’Alene High School.

It’s an inexpensive solution to weed control where herbicides are not an option, Coeur d’Alene Water Superintendent Jim Markley said.

“This is elegant, simple and green,” Markley said.

“Put a bunch of goats in there and three days later the weeds are gone.”

The goats eat a wide variety of weeds and plants, including blackberry bushes, bramble, English ivy, nettles, poison oak, poison sumac and more than 120 other species. They’ll even chomp away at marijuana — in moderation.

“Goats basically eat 25 percent of their weight a

day,” said Suzanne Forte, owner of Green Goat Rental, the Hayden Lake farm that’s supplying the city.

A tribe of 30 can thoroughly graze an acre in five or six days, Forte said.

She originally got goats to combat knapweed in her horse pasture without having to resort to herbicides.

Forte has a herd of about 40 now — mostly pygmy goats and some pygmy crosses and floppy-eared Nubian goats.

She rents them out to property owners with overgrown yards or steep terrain, farms with weed-infested pastures, and homeowner associations that maintain common areas. Some jobs have focused on knocking down vegetation to reduce fire risk, and others to protect native plants from invasive weeds around wetlands.

“And once in a while I have someone who just wants to rent a little goat for their kids to play with for a day,” Forte said.

She charges $2.25 per goat per day, plus labor costs for set-up. The goats also get fresh water each day, salt and baking soda to prevent bloat from overeating.

The city has used goats to control vegetation near its reservoirs, but when officials wanted to do the same at well sites they ran into the EPA livestock ban. The state classifies goats as livestock, but the EPA rule really is

aimed at cattle.

The danger was illustrated in May 2000 in the small Canadian town of Walkerton, Ontario.

Cow manure from a farm near a city well contaminated the water supply with E. coli O157:H7. Seven people died and more than 2,300 became ill.

“It’s a hot issue for water quality,” Markley said.

But goat poop is different, he said. Cows deposit wet piles of waste — cow pies — while goats leave small pellets that dry quickly.

The consensus, Markley said, is that goats do not pose a water quality threat. And to prove it, the city agreed to conduct a study designed by an intern, Ryan Barton, who has a background in grazing studies, in consultation with the DEQ. Barton will measure the quantity and potency of goat droppings as well as bacteria levels at and just below the surface.

The city has additional layers of protection for its water supplies, Markley said. The water is deep underground, the wells are sealed and housed inside buildings, and the goats will be on the ground for just a few days a year.

The public is welcome to stop by and watch the animals at work, he said.

“They’re happy, they’re in there eating,” Markley said.

“Everybody loves goats.”

Assisted suicide most often chosen by affluent whites

Taxing pot could bring Washington windfall

By Jonathan Martin The Seattle Times

By Katie Hafner New York Times News Service

SEATTLE — Dr. Richard Wesley has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the incurable disease that lays waste to muscles while leaving the mind intact. He lives with the knowledge that an untimely death is chasing him down, but takes solace in knowing that he can decide exactly when, where and how he will die.

Under Washington state’s Death With Dignity Act, his physician has given him a prescription for a lethal dose of barbiturates. He would prefer to die naturally, but if dying becomes protracted and difficult, he plans to take the drugs and die peacefully within minutes.

“It’s like the definition of pornography,” Wesley, 67, said at his home here in Seattle, with Mount Rainier in the distance. “I’ll know it’s time to go when I see it.”

Washington followed Oregon in allowing terminally ill patients to get a prescription for drugs that will hasten death. Critics of such laws feared that poor people would be pressured to kill themselves because they or their families could not afford end-of-life care. But the demographics of patients who have gotten the prescriptions are surprisingly different than expected, according to data collected by Oregon and Washington through 2011.

Wesley is emblematic of those who have taken advantage of the law. They are overwhelmingly white, welleducated and financially comfortable. And they are making the choice not because they are in pain but because they want to have the same control over their deaths that they have had over their lives.

While preparing advance medical directives and choosing hospice and palliative care

Richard Wesley, right, who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2008 and has been prescribed assisted-death drugs, uses a computer at his Seattle home with his wife’s help. Data collected by Oregon and Washington, two states that have assisted-death laws, have shown that the demographics of patients who use the drugs are different than expected.

over aggressive treatment have become mainstream options, physician-assisted dying remains taboo for many people. Voters in Massachusetts will consider a ballot initiative in November on a law nearly identical to those in the Pacific Northwest, but high-profile legalization efforts have failed in California, Hawaii and Maine.

Oregon put its Death With Dignity Act in place in 1997, and Washington’s law went into effect in 2009. Some officials worried that thousands of people would migrate to both states for the drugs.

“There was a lot of fear that the elderly would be lined up in their RVs at the Oregon border,” said Barbara Glidewell, an assistant professor at Oregon Health & Science University.

That has not happened, although the number of people who have taken advantage of the law has risen over time.

In the first years, Oregon residents who died using drugs they received under the law accounted for one in 1,000 deaths. The number is now

roughly one in 500 deaths.

At least 596 Oregonians have died that way since 1997. In Washington, 157 such deaths have been reported, roughly one in 1,000.

In Oregon, the number of men and women who have died that way is roughly equal, and their median age is 71. Eighty-one percent have had cancer, and 7 percent ALS, which is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The rest have had a variety of illnesses, including lung and heart disease. The statistics are similar in Washington.

There were fears of a “slippery slope” — that the law would gradually expand to include those with nonterminal illnesses or that it would permit physicians to take a more active role in the dying process itself. But those worries have not been borne out, experts say.

In both Oregon and Washington, the law is rigorous in determining who is eligible to receive the drugs. Two physicians must confirm that a patient has six months or less to live. And the request for the

drugs must be made twice, 15 days apart, before they are handed out. They must be self-administered, which creates a special challenge for people with ALS. Wesley said he would find a way to meet that requirement, perhaps by tipping a cup into his feeding tube.

The reasons people have given for requesting physician-assisted dying have also defied expectations.

Dr. Linda Ganzini, a professor of psychiatry at Oregon Health and Science University, published a study in 2009 of 56 Oregonians who were in the process of requesting physician-aided dying.

“Everybody thought this was going to be about pain,” Ganzini said. “It turns out pain is kind of irrelevant.”

At the time of each of the 56 patients’ requests, almost none of them rated pain as a primary motivation. By far the most common reasons, Ganzini’s study found, were the desire to be in control, to remain autonomous and to die at home. “It turns out that for this group of people, dying is less about physical symptoms than personal values,” she said.

The proposed law in Massachusetts mirrors those in Oregon and Washington.

According to a telephone survey conducted in May by the Polling Institute at Western New England University, 60 percent of the surveyed voters supported “allowing people who are dying to legally obtain medication that they could use to end their lives.”

“Support isn’t just from progressive Democrats, but conservatives, too,” said Stephen Crawford, a spokesman for the Dignity 2012 campaign in Massachusetts, which supports the initiative.

“It’s even a libertarian issue.

The thinking is the government or my doctor won’t control my final days.”

The initiative to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana in Washington was estimated on Friday to raise up to $1.9 billion in new tax revenue over five years — or zero.

The wild swing, included in an analysis by the state Office of Financial Management, reflects broad uncertainty about the potential federal intervention in an initiative that would set up the nation’s first regulated market for recreational marijuana use.

The sky-high revenue estimate, which was previously disclosed in March, is based on an assumption that 363,000 customers in Washington would consume 187,000 pounds of marijuana sold at new state-licensed retail shops if Initiative 502

is approved in the Nov. 6 election.

If it does pass, I-502 would earmark $227 million a year of new marijuana taxes for the state’s basic health plan and $113 million a year for drug addiction research, prevention and treatment.

Statewide administrative costs, covering such things as training police and licensing, would be more than $16 million a year.

But the fiscal analysis makes clear the “significant uncertainties related to federal enforcement of federal criminal laws” outlawing marijuana. The analysis says that federal law enforcement could possibly target statelicensed growers and retailers, which “may prevent the development of a functioning marijuana market.”

Burns set in Puget Sound area Oriental Rug Owners restore butterfly’s prairie habitat

By John Dodge The Olympian, Olympia, Wash.

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Fire raced across a 60-acre patch of Thurston County’s Glacial Heritage Preserve on Wednesday afternoon in 75 minutes, leaving behind a charred and smoky prairie landscape.

The fire was intentionally set as part of a South Sound prairie-restoration program that has used prescribed burns, which are the opposite of a wildfire, for more than 10 years.

“In a wildfire, the fire is managing us,” said Bob Wilken, a Center for Natural Lands Management employee who served as the burn boss, overseeing a crew of about two dozen firefighters. “In a prescribed burn, we manage the fire.”

The Wednesday fire, which was well-managed and wellbehaved, is one of about 17 prescribed burns totaling 300 acres on public lands in South Sound slated for ignition this late summer and early fall, said Mason McKinley, a trained firefighter and project manager for the Center of Lands Management. The center is a California-based nonprofit group that took over The Nature Conservancy’s South Sound prairie-protection and recovery projects in June 2011.

The primary goal of these fires is to knock back the invasive plants that, if left to their own devices, overrun the native prairie grasses and flowers that play host to several endangered prairie species, including a butterfly called the Taylor’s checkerspot.

This black, reddish-orange and cream-colored insect once occupied some 70 sites scattered from Vancouver Island in British Columbia to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Today, the only self-sustaining population is found at — of all places — the artillery impact zone at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

However, conservation

“Fire is nature’s way of cleaning up the prairie and awakening the seed bank.”

— Bob Wilken, burn boss

groups, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, LewisMcChord, the Oregon Zoo, the state Department of Corrections and other partners have been working for several years to breed and reintroduce the medium-sized butterfly to other prairie sites in South Sound.

They don’t have a lot of prairie habitat to work with — less than 3 percent of what existed before decades of development and invasion of non-native species, including Scot’s broom, moss and grasses.

“You would expect the Taylor’s checkerspot to blink out at individual places over the years,” Cheryl Finbel, the center’s rare-species biologist, noted. “But they used to be able to rely on a greater landscape for their existence.”

As flames crackled waisthigh across the prairie Wednesday, Finbel had her sights set on a 5-acre section of the freshly scorched ground where she and her helpers will plant some 30,000 seedlings of paintbrush, blue-eyed Mary and other native species this winter. They will serve as host plants for Taylor’s checkerspot caterpillars that will be introduced to the site in late winter or early spring.

It will be a repeat performance of what happened last year and earlier this year on the prairie right next to Wednesday’s burn. About 1,000 Taylor’s checkerspot butterflies were released there last March.

The cool, wet spring led to a high mortality rate for the sensitive species.

“But butterflies were seen sticking here and flying around,” said Hannah Anderson, rare-species program manager for the center. “It usu-

ally takes several years of reintroduction to establish a new population.”

This time of year, the butterflies are in their caterpillar burrowing stage to escape the heat, so the nearby fire and smoke shouldn’t have bothered them. They also hibernate in the winter to escape the cold.

Butterflies are a type of boom-and-bust species, but in recent decades the Taylor’s checkerspot has been more of a bust — enough to get the attention of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is expected to decide fairly soon whether the species is worthy of protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. Whatever Fish and Wildlife decides, Finbel and her colleagues expect the prairie-restoration work on behalf of the butterfly will continue to help keep the butterfly from going extinct.

Controlled burns serve other purposes as well. They return nutrients to the soil and free up long-dormant native seeds to germinate and sprout next spring. Native Americans also used them to create browsing habitat for deer and elk, which allowed area tribes to hunt closer to home.

“Fire is nature’s way of cleaning up the prairie and awakening the seed bank,” said Wilken, who has 38 years of firefighting and prescribedburn experience.

One way he knows whether a burn is successful it to check for the presence of white ash in the aftermath, which he described as the elixir in a controlled burn.

Sure enough, much of the moss that was choking the 60 acres of prairie turned into white ash in the fire.

Stuart directed ‘Willy Wonka’

By Dennis McLellan Los Angeles Times

Mel Stuart had firmly established himself as an Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker in the 1960s when his daughter Madeline, a big fan of Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,� insisted he turn the popular children’s book into a movie. “It was my favorite book at the time, and I told him this would make a great movie,�

Madeline Stuart told The Los Angeles Times on Friday.

Her father proceeded to add the 1971 fantasy musical “Willy Wonka & FEATURED the Chocolate to OBITUARY Factory� his extensive resume as a director. He died Thursday of cancer at his home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Westwood, said his son, Andrew. He was 83.

During a more than 50-year career in which he won four Emmys, Stuart was known early on for the many documentaries he made in association with David L. Wolper.

That included directing and producing “The Making of the President 1960,� for which he shared an Emmy Award with executive producer Wolper and writer Theodore H. White; and the Oscar-nominated “Four Days in November,� which chronicled the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Stuart directed or produced more than 180 films during his career, including “The Making of the President 1964,� “The Making of the President 1968� and the 1973 documentary concert film “Wattstax.�

He also produced the Peabody Award-winning 1981 TV movie “Bill� starring Mickey Rooney as a developmentally disabled man learning to cope with the outside world.

And then there was “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,� with Gene Wilder in the title role of the eccentric candy maker who is searching for a young heir to run his factory and opens its doors to the five children who found golden tickets in their candy bars.

After Stuart pitched the idea to Wolper, the movie was shot in Munich, with Stuart’s 12-year-old daughter playing one of the children in a classroom scene in which the teacher asks her how many Wonka bars she had eaten. “I say, ‘About a hundred,’ a line that lives in film history,�

Madeline joked. Her younger brother, Peter, also had a small part in the film. “I’ve very proud of that movie,� she said. “I think it’s absolutely brilliant and charming and a bit dark and very funny — and all those things describe my father.�

She said he was “exceptionally proud� of “Willy Wonka.� “When the movie came out, it was not a huge success,� she said. “I don’t know for whatever reason why kids didn’t respond to it. But the film has become such a classic over time and continues to gain in popularity. “My father made this film for himself; he wasn’t pandering to children, trying to make a sweet happy film.�

Mel Stuart — who was known as an eccentric and occasionally irascible character who frequently quoted Shakespeare and Lewis Carroll — said of the movie in a 2001 Times interview: “I’m not talking down to children and giving them squirrels with funny faces and all that stuff.�

Stuart’s many TV documentaries as a director include “The Unfinished Journey of Robert Kennedy� (1970), “Life Goes to the Movies� (1976) and “Man Ray: Prophet of the Avant Garde,� a 1997 segment of the “American Masters� series.

Paul Ginsburg explores a partitioned room in the basement of his business, Paul’z Trainz, in North Bend. The room has a steel hatch that opens onto Sherman Avenue, once used to move coal into the basement of the building.

North Bend sewer line crews on alert for rumored tunnels

By Jessie Higgins The World

NORTH BEND — Imagine downtown North Bend around 1910: Wooden planks lined Sherman Avenue, horses and horseless carriages shared the streets, and upstairs from the saloon that is now Roger’s Zoo was a brothel.

Legend has it, a tunnel ran from the saloon’s basement beneath Sherman and connected with the Humbolt Building. That way, men could enter the whorehouse discretely. “And you know aliens came down last week and took 32 people,� said Roger Scott, the building’s current owner, laughing. “That is about as true a story as that.�

Scott puts more stock in the rumor that the old brothel and the Humbolt building — an old hotel — were connected by switchboards with a little light bulb representing each girl’s availability.

A worn switchboard remains in the building’s upstairs, lodged in the long, narrow hallways connecting 11 small rooms. But a tunnel seems more than far-fetched, he said.

Scott stood in the building’s basement, a mostly raw, open area. No ancient tunnel is in sight. “This is it,� he said, throwing up his hands.

Still, the ultimate proof will come when the construction crew makes it to the 2000 block of Sherman to replace a sewer line in the middle of the street.

The whorehouse’s supposed secret entrance is not the only tunnel rumored to crisscross downtown North Bend. Some say tunnels ran all along U.S. Highway 101, and up Virginia Avenue from the bay. Rumors say bootleggers moved hooch, smuggled in by ship, from the bay to the downtown stores during Prohibition. Chinese immigrants may have used the tunnels as opium dens.

With the summer’s downtown construction — the sidewalk repaving project and sewer replacement — many residents have wondered aloud: What have they found?

Fresh rumors are circulating that the crews have discovered the secret tunnel system.

They have not, said Derek Windham, the city’s engi-

neering coordinator. “We haven’t found anything incredibly unusual,�

Windham said. But even without discovering a secret tunnel system, construction workers have found evidence of North Bend’s history.

Many of North Bend’s downtown buildings were constructed between 1900 and 1930. Their basements are elaborate and massive.

Some extend far beneath the sidewalks and house relics of the past.

The building that houses Fat Cat’s Antiques and Paul’z Trainz has an enormous basement with a 10-foot ceiling that extends almost to the highway. The city will not replace the sidewalk there because it is part of the building.

The sidewalk in front of Beauty and the Beast on Virginia Avenue has old glass skylights — now turned purple — embedded in the concrete and looking in on the basement.

Some of the old basements may have been connected through doors and small passages, said City Administrator Terence O’Connor. That in itself could have sparked the rumor.

Most pre-1930s buildings had large chutes that opened in the sidewalk and dumped directly into the basement.

They were used regularly to dump supplies, usually coal that fed furnaces.

The chutes’ remnants are still visible on the old sidewalks downtown, covered by rusty metal lids that look even less sturdy when viewed from beneath.

Windham and the construction crew are closing off these old chutes and filling them with gravel before repaving the sidewalk. So far, the city has discovered chutes leading to Rogers Zoo, North Bend Auto Repair and Chan’s Wok. Windham found no evidence of a tunnel connecting Rogers Zoo to the Humbolt Building, but he’ll check again when the crew repaves in front of the Humbolt.

And more discoveries could be lying in wait, Windham said. Construction workers have a long way to go. “There hasn’t been a circumstance where we’ve lifted up the sidewalk and everybody gasps and there’s a big hole there,� Windham said. “We’re crossing our fingers.�

Eugene bicycle paths lead anglers to steelhead sites

OREGON NEWS

By Mike Stahlberg

The Associated Press EUGENE — A 56-yearold convicted killer and two young people from Portland have been arraigned on murder charges that apparently stem from the disappearance of a Eugene man.

Police officials have declined to provide details about the alleged murder, but a Eugene police log entry shows the arrests are tied to the recent disappearance of 22year-old Celestino Gutierrez Jr., The Register-Guard newspaper reported Saturday.

The suspects include A.J. Scott Nelson, 22, Mercedes Leeann Crabtree, 18, and David Ray Taylor. The latter suspect spent 27 years in state prison after killing a Eugene gas station attendant in 1977.

All three suspects are being held in the Lane County Jail.

They did not enter pleas at Friday’s arraignment.

The Register-Guard

EUGENE — Eugene-Springfield’s riverside bike paths are popular with cyclists, runners, bird-watchers and nature lovers.

Less well-known is that the bike paths also provide anglers with good access to the Willamette River’s thriving “town run” of summer steelhead.

With a banner run of the silvery sea-run fish under way, now is a good time to grab a spinning rod, a fanny pack for tackle and a pair of non-slip wading boots, then pedal off in search of “metalheads.”

Todd Linklater didn’t have to cycle far, or fish long one recent morning before being rewarded for his efforts.

“He hit that spinner and tried to jerk the rod out of my hand — the first jump he went about four feet in the air,” Linklater said, holding up the feisty fivepounder he caught while wading in thigh-deep water downstream of the Knickerbocker Bike Bridge.

One of Oregon’s iconic game fish, summer steelhead are aggressive and move in shallow water, making them relatively easy to catch.

And this summer’s steelhead run in the Willamette Basin is shaping up as one of the best in the past 20 years.

A professional fishing guide, Linklater has been taking clients fishing by drift boat on the Eugene-Springfield section of the Willamette for more than 10 years. While fishing there, he often recalls the days when, as a teenager in south Eugene, he’d grab a fishing rod, hop on his bicycle and pedal to the river in search of trout.

“When I was a kid, I’d do this all the time,” Linklater said while pedaling a bike with feltsoled wading boots on his feet and a spinning rod clutched atop the handlebars. He’d decided to go “bike fishing” again, just for fun, on a day off.

He parked his truck at the D Street boat landing at 7 a.m. and rode downstream to the rapids just above the Interstate 5 bridge. Wading into the chilly water, he began casting a Blue Fox, then switched to various other steelhead lures. When 20 minutes of casting failed to produce a strike, he biked downstream to the next hole, a riffle below the Knickerbocker Bike Bridge, where he soon had a fish on the bank.

“Usually, if they’re in there, you’ll pop one on the first dozen casts,” Linklater said. “If you put it over them, they’ll come get it.”

If an angler doesn’t get a strike in 10 or 12 casts, Linklater recommends changing the color of the lure he’s using, or simply move on to another likely spot.

“It’s like golf — take a few shots and go on to the next hole,” he said.

And what better way to move quickly from one likely spot to another than by bike?

“You can cover a lot of territory quickly with a bike,” Linklater said.

Steelhead fishing on the town run has been good to excellent this year, according to the fish-

The new I-5 bridge taking shape over the Willamette River in Eugene provides an unusual backdrop as Todd Linklater casts a steelhead lure. As a result of urban stocking of juvenile summer steelhead, mature adults return yearly to waters between Clearwater Park in Springfield and the Beltline Bridge in Eugene.

ing guide, and the average size of the fish caught is larger than usual.

“Lots of fish this year have been in the 9- to 11-pound range,” he said. “I got one 17 pounds last week.”

Over the years, Linklater says, he’s noticed that many of the biggest males arrive here during August.

The larger fish are probably “three salts,” steelhead that stayed in the ocean three years instead of the usual two.

Steelhead are definitely more numerous than usual in the Willamette this year. More than 23,400 summer steelhead already have been counted through the Willamette Falls fish passage at Oregon City.

The 2012 run is on pace to finish “in the high 20 thousands,” according to Jeff Ziller, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife district fish biologist in Springfield.

Anything over 26,418 would make it the third-largest run since 1988, ODFW records show.

Ziller said many steelhead anglers find the urban portion of the Willamette an attractive place to fish.

“One of reasons is it’s a wide, flat, fairly diverse river for fishing ... it has a lot of little pockets to fish for steelhead in,” he said.

“There are lots of interesting spots to fish with a fly. There are a lot of tailouts that have shallow reaches you can fish with spinners or other stuff near the surface. You can get ’em on top, in other words.”

Ziller, incidentally, is the man responsible for getting Eugene’s in-town run started.

In 1995, envisioning an urban fishery similar to the one Portland residents experience during spring chinook salmon, he decided to release thousands of “smolts” (juvenile steelhead) at two locations in EugeneSpringfield. The theory was that when the fish returned as mature adults, they would linger at their release sites.

Previously, all steelhead released into the upper Willamette had been set free from the rearing ponds below Dexter Dam. When those fish returned, they sped through town quickly on their way back “home.” Few Dexter anglers bothered to try catching them in town. Instead all the steelhead fishing was jammed into

a couple of miles of river below the dam.

The first few years of the experimental releases produced disappointing results. Apparently, the Dexter smolts’ homing instincts were not fooled by being released several miles downstream. They could still smell “home” in the water flowing through Eugene and they kept right on swimming upriver.

In 2001, however, Linklater and a handful of other anglers began catching steelhead in town — lots of them. Ziller checked his records and saw that most of the adults being caught in town were reared at Roaring River Hatchery in Scio, not Dexter. Roaring River smolts had been used for the Eugene town releases two years earlier because the smolts at Dexter Ponds were too small to release when the time came.

Because those smolts were reared in a different drainage, they had nowhere else to go once they returned to their Eugene area release sites. Thereafter, using fish from a different drainage became a key part of the local stocking program.

And adult steelhead linger for weeks, or even months, in sections of river above and below the five release sites now being used — Clearwater and Day Island parks in Springfield, D-Street boat landing in Glenwood, and the Alton Baker Park and Valley River Center boat landings in Eugene.

About 55,000 smolts a year are released at those five spots, all of which are linked by bike path — or soon will be when Willamalane Park District finishes construction of its Middle Fork Path from Clearwater Lane through Doris Ranch.

And the majority of river bank in town is in public ownership.

Ziller says he’s done a little bike fishing himself, riding from his Sheldon area home to the Owosso Bike Bridge, and fishing from the bank and gravel bars near there.

“One of the best places is right behind Valley River Center,” Ziller said. “It’s so easy to wade, and there’s lots of good places for steelhead.”

It doesn’t hurt that that’s the spot where about 10,000 smolts are released each year.

Summer steelhead fishing usually remains good through October.

3 arraigned in mysterious Lane County murder case Police took a report on the night of Aug. 3 that Gutierrez was missing after last being seen the previous night at an unnamed bar on Highway 99, according to the police log.

The case number for the police log entry matches the case number noted in the murder suspects’ jail and court records.

Documents filed in court

by Lane County prosecutors allege that the murder victim — who is not identified in the court records — was killed “on or about” Aug. 3.

Crabtree’s mother, Kelly Hutchison, was in the courtroom Friday and said afterward that authorities have not provided her with any information.

“We have no idea what’s going on here,” Hutchison said.

She said her daughter and Nelson are longtime acquaintances who, as far as she

Supervisor in forest road controversy is replaced The Associated Press BAKER CITY — Kevin Martin has been named interim supervisor of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, replacing an official who was at the center of controversy after proposing restrictions on the use of motor vehicles.

Regional Forester Kent Connaughton announced the appointment Friday, saying Martin will become Wallowa-Whitman supervisor “until further notice.”

Martin succeeds Monica Schwalbach, who has taken a new assignment with the Pacific Northwest Research Station in Portland. She leaves less than 18 months after assuming responsibility for the Baker City-based forest. The Wallowa-Whitman has been embroiled in controversy regarding its proposed travel management plan, which would have closed almost 4,000 miles of roads and trails to motor vehicle use. Schwalbach withdrew the plan in April amid public protests, and it is being revised.

“Kevin believes in strong

relationships, and is well known for his work with both external community groups and the internal workforce on the Umatilla National Forest,” Connaughton said.

“Kevin’s strength of skills, in both natural resources work and community engagement, will be strong assets for the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.”

Martin, who starts Monday, said he looks forward to meeting with forest employees and the public.

“I believe good communications and understanding of one another’s needs will lead us to achieve great things,” he said.

Martin has been Umatilla supervisor in Pendleton for eight years. A graduate of both Iowa State University and Oregon State University, he holds degrees in animal ecology, entomology and wildlife science, the Baker City Herald reported.

Matt Burks, spokesman for the Wallowa-Whitman, said Martin will return to the Umatilla after Schwalbach’s permanent replacement has been hired.

knows, are not romantically involved.

“He’s been a friend of hers.

We’ve known him for years,” Hutchison said.

The pair’s connection to Taylor is unclear. He was paroled in 2004 and taken off post-prison supervision in 2007, state prison spokeswoman Elizabeth Craig said.

In the 1977 case, Taylor and his girlfriend at the time abducted a 21-year-old woman from the gas station where she worked. The pair robbed the woman before Taylor used a sawed-off shotgun to kill her.

Police found the victim’s body along a road 20 miles west of Eugene. On her hand was scrawled the license plate number of Taylor’s car. Prosecutors theorized the victim had written the number on her palm after becoming suspicious of the pair before the abduction.

Wildfire closes land The Associated Press PORTLAND — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management closed a stretch of public land in southeast Oregon on Saturday to protect hunters from the massive Holloway Fire.

The BLM restricted the use of land west of U.S. 95 between Whitehorse Road and the Nevada state line.

Saturday marked the beginning of antelope season, and the agency was concerned that hunters might get trapped, said Jack DeGolia, the Holloway Fire spokesman.

The fire has scorched nearly 247 square miles of brush and sagebrush in Oregon and nearly 159 square miles in Nevada since lightning started it Monday.

No homes were threatened in the sparsely populated area, but the blaze is of great concern to a ranching community that already lost much of its summer forage in the recent Long Draw fire.

The blaze was 30 percent contained as of Saturday evening.

Heat, drought point to longer-term climate trend

By Peter Whoriskey The Washington Post

OTTUMWA, Iowa — Driving by a boat ramp one Saturday morning last month, a local man noticed some white spots on the Des Moines River. He stopped to have a look.

Turns out the spots were fish bellies. The undersides of dead sturgeon formed glistening constellations in the muddy brown water.

In all, about 58,000 dead fish were along a 42-mile stretch, according to state officials, and the cause of death appeared to be heat. Biologists measured the water at 97 degrees in multiple spots.

“I’ve never seen anything quite like it,” said Justin Pedretti who first reported the fish kill.

Under the most wide-reaching drought since 1956, and torched by the hottest July on record dating from 1895, the United States has been under the kind of weather stress that climatologists say will be more common if the long-standing trend toward higher U.S. temperatures continues. Most immediately affected are the nation’s water sources and the people and crops that rely on them.

The flow of the Mississippi River has slowed — at times rivaling 40-year-lows — allowing saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico to seep far up the river channel, threatening community water supplies at the river mouth. Likewise, across the nation’s middle, many communities have invoked water restrictions to protect shrinking supplies. The lack of rain has sizzled the nation’s corn crop, too, with agriculture officials reporting last week that the overall yield is expected to drop 16 percent from last year.

Scott Lakin, owner of a family farm in Indiana, was already dealing with the drought harming his corn crop. But his wife recently called with the discovery that the weather woes were striking much closer to home.

“I heard the washing machine making sounds — it wasn’t filling,” Marcy Lakin said. “Then I checked the faucets and couldn’t get even a drip.”

The well was dry. The water table in the area had sunk to new lows, and like other ho-

meowners in Parr, Ind., they were without water. When they sought out a well-driller to try to find water, they found that drillers across the state were booked for a week.

Six of 35 observation wells in the state have hit historic lows, said Mark Basch, chief of the state water rights department.

The Lakins, with two kids, have gone almost two weeks without water.

“I think you could say it’s been a trying summer,” she said. “Everybody was looking for water.”

In 1895, the first year of such records for the nation, the average July temperature in the contiguous states was 72.1 degrees. Since then, average temperatures have been rising, if slowly, according to U.S. records, climbing at the rate of 1.24 degrees per century.

This year, average temperatures spiked to 77.6 — even above the long-term trends, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported last week.

At the same time that temperatures have spiked, setting records in places as far-flung as Lansing, Mich., and Greenville, S.C., the country has been hit with a spreading drought. In early August, 62 percent of the contiguous United States was under moderate to exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

The heat and drought feed on each other, worsening conditions, scientists said. When the ground is wet, the water absorbs the sun’s heat and expends it in evaporation; when the earth is dry in a drought, the ground simply warms up.

The rising temperatures and spreading drought this year are consistent with what can be expected with the warming of the climate, said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist with NOAA. “Any given year in the future could be above or below that rising trend,” Crouch said. “But if the current trend continues, the chances of years like this become greater.”

The Midwest is particularly vulnerable to large swings, according to federal scientists, in part because it is farther from the oceans, which help to moderate temperatures.

“There is a high degree of

confidence in projections that future temperature increases will be greatest in the Arctic and in the middle of continents,” according to the U.S. Global Change Research Program.

Maybe the broadest and most easily measured casualty of the weather has been the nation’s corn crop, one of its largest.

With the losses, corn futures last week rose to all-time highs.

But the extreme weather has also aroused unusual challenges. The Mississippi River has fallen so low that the American Queen steamboat, which had been on its way from Louisville to Vicksburg, Miss., had to stop this month in Memphis, according to wire reports. That left 240 passengers to finish the trip by bus.

In Plaquemines Parish, La., at the mouth of the Mississippi, governmentofficialsarepreparing to have fresh water brought in on barges, something they haven’t had to do since 1988, during a historic drought, said Guy Laigast, director of the parish’s emergency preparedness. The problem is the growing salinity of the Mississippi as it runs by Plaquemines. Some saltwater seeps in from the Gulf regularly when the river is low. But this year, the saltwater has seeped about 88 miles up the river, rendering it unusable for some towns.

In Kansas, along Big Creek, which is running dry, the drought has put communities at odds with one another.

Upstream, Hays is keeping its wastewater to water a golf course, a park and a soccer complex. This has angered downstream neighbors, who say public wells are running low and there’s no water for their cattle.

“Everyone out here is hurting. There is no two ways around it,” said Doug Langhofer, water superintendent in Russell, Kan., one of the communities downstream.

Across the country, scientists are beginning to register the stress that higher temperatures have placed on the environment.

On the night of the fish kill that Pedretti reported on the Des Moines River, state biologist Mark Flammang was called to the scene.

“We’ve had fish kills before

but never to that extent,” he said.

Often, he said, fish kills come when the oxygen content in the river goes low. But the measurements he took that night suggest to him instead that it was probably the unusually warm water.

Another fish kill in the Des Moines River happened just

two weeks ago, and again the water temperature was high.

This time, it was about 92 degrees in places, and it claimed about 13,500 fish, mostly river carpsuckers and channel catfish, he said.

Where those temperatures stand in terms of the river’s history is difficult to know because there are few, if any, consistent

records. But Flammang and locals familiar with the river think those temperatures were well above normal summertime averages.

“The water normally has a chill to it,” said A.J. Bower, 26, who runs a local website for enthusiasts. But “the heat is killing the fish. You can tell it’s not supposed to be that warm.”

Mount Heyburn, Horstman Peak and other high peaks of the Sawtooth Range are reflected in the placid waters of Little Redfish Lake.

Several campgrounds sit on the shore of this small lake, connected by road and trail to the venerable 1929 Redfish Lake Lodge.

• By horse or by car, there’s much to explore on the edge of this remote Idaho wilderness

By John Gottberg Anderson For the Bulletin

STANLEY, Idaho — y horse’s name was Juan. He was a Spanish mustang who knew his way around the sides of mountains — in this case, Idaho’s spectacular Sawtooth Range.

Juan and I were cautiously working our way up a 3½-mile trail to a rocky summit overlooking the upper Salmon River valley. We followed Pioneer Outfitters wrangler Nikki Wahl and photographer Barb Gonzalez through wildflower-rich meadows that framed Gold Creek. We ascended a trail lined with gangly aspens and larches to a rounded peak with panoramic views across one of North America’s most remarkable mountain groups.

Surrounded by the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, the entire span of the Sawtooths spread before us.

Forty-two peaks exceed 10,000 feet in elevation, climaxed by 11,635-foot Williams Peak.

Nestled among these lofty mountains, I was told, are hundreds of alpine lakes, vary-

arcing route around a major forest fire that erupted near Valley Creek, northwest of the regional hub of Stanley.

A week later, it had grown to 23,000 acres and was far from contained. Luckily for us, winds pushed the fire north, away from the Sawtooths.

Although some haze settled on tiny Stanley, the main peaks of this western Rockies sub-range were free of smoke.

According to the U.S. Forest Service, the Sawtooths have the purest air in the continental United States. Anything but a crystal-clear day would have been completely out of character.

As my gaze settled beneath the mountains on the Salmon River, shallow and meandering in its infancy, I picked out the corral from which Juan and I had begun this trek. Nearby, I spotted a hot-springs pool where I had soaked beneath the full moon a night earlier.

Toolkit is available to educate seniors about scams

By Mac McLean The Bulletin

Tired of seeing its clients lose their money, independence and quality of life, a national group of home-based health care providers has teamed up with an organization representing law enforcement and other groups to teach people about scams targeting the elderly and how to spot them.

The Home Instead Senior Care Network and the National Association of the Triads launched its Protect Seniors from Fraud program at the

end of July in hopes it can stop seniors from falling victim to scams that may come to them through their mail, telephone or computer.

“It’s just some good information for families,” said Todd Sensenbach, co-owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Central Oregon.

The 17-page toolkit is available at the Home Instead office or online (see “Get a toolkit”).

Scams and other types of financial abuse cost their victims an estimated $2.9 billion in 2010 according to a report the MetLife Mature Market

Get a toolkit The Protect Seniors from Fraud toolkit is available at the Home Instead Senior Care office at 497 S.W. Century Drive, Suite #102, Bend, or by visiting www.protectseniorsfrom fraud.com.

Contact: 541-330-6400

Institute released last summer.

Sensenbach said some of the people his staff assist have lost thousands of dollars to sweep-

stakes scams where a fraudulent contest offers to send them a grand prize if they pay a certain fee associated with delivering it.

Central Oregon seniors have also fallen victim to Nigerian scams, where a “wealthy foreigner” offers someone money to help with a money transfer; the grandma scam, where a person pretending to be someone’s grandchild asks for money to pay an unplanned expense; and fake charity scams, where people solicit donations for an organization that does not exist, said

Deanne Lockridge, an investigator with the state’s Adult Protective Services Program.

“We see lots of elder fraud,” Lockridge said, adding that once a senior has fallen for one scam they are often inundated with requests from other would-be fraudsters out to get their money. Most of the time the victim’s loved ones don’t realize how bad the situation is until they’ve lost thousands of dollars and are getting dozens of new solicitations from scammers in the mail each day, she added.

A & A

Customers offended when asked to take phones outside Dear Abby: This is my firstever Dear Abby letter. I am disgusted by the lack of manners shown by cellphone users. I run an antique store in a small tourist town. I cannot tell you how many “insulted and incensed� customers I have asked to please leave my shop because they insisted on talking on their cellphones.

I have also asked people in church to carry on their conversations outside. A man at my daughter’s high school graduation got a call and proceeded to talk on and on until I finally asked him to leave. This has happened in restaurants, movies — even a Broadway play.

It’s inconceivable to me that cellphone users are unwilling or unable to understand that their VIP conversations are an intrusion and rude to those who are forced to listen. — Peeved in Nantucket, Mass.

Dear Peeved: It is difficult to teach consideration for others to people who have none.

However, allow me to clue you in to what some communities are doing to curb the intrusion of cellphones: They have posted signs in restaurants, theaters and shops that read, “Cellphone-Free Zone.

The owner of this establishment thanks you for not using your cellphone on the premises. If you must make or receive a call, please do so outside.� That way, customers are warned in a way that’s not confrontational.

Dear Abby: What is proper when you’re talking with someone and you notice the person has food stuck in his or her teeth? What if the person is part of a group and someone you don’t know very well? — Toothful in Florida Dear Toothful: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you were in the other person’s place, wouldn’t you want to be told?

Even if you know the person only casually, try to ease him or her away from the group and say, “I know we don’t know each other very well, but I thought

This year you zero in on what you feel is important. As a result, you generally will succeed. Your fiery energy and serious attitude mix together well and carry you to a home run. If you are single, you will gain just by extending your horizons and meeting new people. You easily could meet someone through a friend. If you are attached, the two of you need to spend more time with each other. Share your ideas and feelings, and the bond between you will only strengthen. GEMINI points to the path of success.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You need to state what you want and give others the time to respond. You might think they are overthinking things, but that’s just their style. A conversation could become very serious and complicated. Try some humor to lighten up the moment. Tonight: Meet friends for dinner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Be aware of how much you have to offer. Let others assume a more dominant role. You do not need to host every family dinner or always bring everyone together. Let others indulge you. Tonight: Make it easy. Order in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are all smiles, as you are surrounded by many different people. You have many sides to you, and each one attracts a different type of personality. Once energized, you could be hard to stop. Be friendlier. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH See what is going on among your friends. Once you do, you’ll understand why you need to pull back and take more of a break from others. You can only do so much! Fatigue marks your decisions and plans. Tonight: Start thinking “Monday.�

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You have that special touch. No matter what you do, you enjoy yourself as long as you have your friends around you.

Neighborhood affairs keep you busy. Someone clearly wants your feedback. Tonight: With the people

TODAY DEAR ABBY you should know you have something in your teeth. It’s happened to me, and I thought you’d like to know, too.�

Consider it a charitable act.

The person will: First, be embarrassed; second, be grateful.

Dear Abby: I am a supervisor in a consulting firm. I have recently been assigned an employee who does not dress appropriately for the workplace.

The fashion choices she makes are unprofessional and too casual for our company. She wears no makeup, nor does she consistently care for her hair.

Abby, this young woman meets the public. Her job is to consult with clients and advise them about investing their money. Her appearance has been commented on by clients and colleagues alike and does not lend confidence in her skills and abilities. How do I counsel her without hurting her feelings? — Apprehensive in Conservative-ville Dear Apprehensive: Your job as supervisor includes counseling your employees with regard to anything that affects job performance and the image of the company. If the company doesn’t have a dress code, it’s time to establish one.

Then schedule a private meeting with this employee and discuss what you expect from her. Offer her a few pictures of appropriate business attire and stylish, easily manageable hairstyles. Stress that her appearance is an important part of the image of the company and your clients’ perception of her skills and talents.

By emphasizing that the dress code will be of value to her, you’ll put yourself in the position of doing her a favor rather than being critical. — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Still in its infancy, the Halstead fire lights up Idaho State Highway 21 between Boise and Stanley in late July.

Within a week, the fire had grown to 23,000 acres, and a smoky haze descended on the town of Stanley, obscuring views of the Sawtooth Range.

cally sensitive upgrade of facilities in all four lodge rooms and a dozen original cabins, with two new cottages indistinguishable from their predecessors.

In all, the ranch — which is especially popular with families, including three-generational groups — accommodates 50 guests at a time.

There’s no cellphone service here in the Sawtooth valley, but the ranch lodge has a WiFi connection.

Redfish Lake Easily the most popular tourist destination in the 778,000-acre (1,215-squaremile) Sawtooth National Recreation Area is Redfish Lake.

In the early afternoon of a hot midsummer afternoon, the scene at the Redfish Lake Lodge, on the north shore, is a little like that in Seaside or Coney Island.

Many dozens of children and teenagers, most from the Boise area, gather on the beach and in the marina, paddle-boating, kayaking and throwing flying discs across the shallow water. When they tire of recreation, they gather at the burger joint outside the venerable 1929 lodge.

But Redfish hasn’t always been “Beach Blanket Bingo”; it is usually a quiet fishing resort with motorboats and other craft readily available for rent.

Indeed, the lake was named for the bright-red, spawning sockeye salmon that once found their way here by the thousands, seeming to turn the waters red. Today only a few endangered sockeye make the almost-900-mile journey from the Pacific Ocean, climbing

to an elevation of 6,547 feet at Redfish Lake.

Fed by streams that run off Elk Peak, fortress-like Mount Heyburn and the Grand Mogul, Redfish has eight campgrounds around its shores and those of picturesque, nearby Little Redfish Lake. In addition to a general store, horse packers and rafting outfitters, it boasts a national recreation area visitor center that offers a full summer schedule of daily activities aimed at youth.

A 17-mile trail circles the lake, providing access to numerous other trails climbing to the plethora of smaller lakes high in the Sawtooth Range.

Many of the trailheads may also be reached by launch from the Redfish Lake marina, saving precious steps for multiday backcountry adventurers. A backcountry pass, available at the lodge, is required for these trips.

Besides Redfish Lake, other good-sized lakes — Stanley Lake to the north, Pettit and Alturas lakes to the south — may be accessed by paved or graded, gravel-top roads.

The recreation area extends well to the east, as well, embracing the peaks of the White Cloud and Boulder mountain ranges nearly to Sun Valley. Abandoned silver mines and ghost towns are inevitable sights in these remote regions for travelers, many of whom do their exploring on horseback.

The Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch began welcoming guests in 1930. Back then, it was a “club,” an invitationonly oasis for elite Eastern urbanites who paid top dollar to spend a week or two hunting big game in the Wild West.

After it was purchased by cattle ranchers Ed and Ruth Bogert in 1951, the 878-acre ranch exited the lodging business for a generation. But the Bogerts’ daughter, Rozalys Bogert Smith, returned it to the guest-ranch concept in 1976. Under new ownership since 2005, it remains a luxury guest ranch today.

“We like to provide a complete Western experience,” said lodge manager Sandra Beckwith, who has been at the ranch since 1994. “It’s not just log cabins and horses. We offer fine food, hiking, biking, fishing, and exposure to the incredible richness of Western culture.”

The fine food includes gourmet dinners (wild sockeye salmon, veal steak) and breakfasts (huevos rancheros, Grand Marnier French toast) offered daily, as well as hearty packed-lunch sandwiches to carry guests through the middle of the day. The culture included live music four times a week, regular literary readings and natural-history presentations.

“Another piece of Western culture is independence and freedom,” Beckwith said. “We don’t want people tethered to the ranch. We encourage people to choose their own activities, and we present options to encourage them in this regard.”

At first glance, a base rate of $375 per night appears to be an expensive investment for two people. But the price of $188.50 per person included three full meals that may have cost an extra $60 per person if the price were broken out.

Figure in a guided trail ride, free mountain-bike rentals and other extras, including a natural hot-springs pool big enough for swimming laps, and suddenly that tab doesn’t seem out of hand.

A renovation of the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch was spearheaded a few years ago by co-owner Courtney Kapp, a Philadelphia architect. The makeover included a histori-

The townspeople didn’t even have electricity until 1956.

Officially — according to the “Welcome to” signs at the ends of town — the population is 63. That must be the number of year-round citizens, as the town requires at least a couple of hundred seasonal employees to run its motels, cafes, wilderness outfitters and other businesses catering to summer visitors. Those who stay year-round are hardy souls; the town averages 286 days each year with temperatures below freezing, ranking it as the coldest town in the lower 48.

The erstwhile “main drag,” one block south of Highway 21, is a wide gravel thoroughfare called Ace of Diamonds Street. Its name refers to a long-gone casino and dance club that offered recreation to the trappers and silver miners who settled the community in the 1890s. There’s not much on the street today: the rustic, logconstruction Sawtooth Hotel, recently renovated; a couple of saloons (the Rod N Gun Club and the Kasino Club); a pizza joint; McCoy’s Tackle & Gift Shop; the town post office and library; a real estate office in case you’re in the market for mountain property; and the more modern High Country Inn. The Stanley Baking Co. is a worthwhile breakfast-andlunch stop; it is located around the corner from Ace of Diamonds on Wall Street.

Abandoned for six decades, the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge stands beside the Custer Motorway just north of Bonanza. Between 1940 and 1952, the 988-ton floating dredge left 5½ miles of gravel and tailings; today it welcomes visitors for self-guided tours.

From previous page Stanley’s chamber of commerce/visitor center is on Highway 21 almost opposite Wall Street, and numerous other businesses cling close to the two main highways, both here and a mile downriver (northeast) in Lower Stanley.

One highlight is the Stanley Historical Museum, which occupies the 1933 Valley Creek forest ranger’s cabin. Officially the headquarters of the Sawtooth Interpretive & Historical Association, the log museum (open daily in summer) has a fine collection of photographs and artifacts from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Yankee Fork Many Sawtooth visitors miss one of the region’s most compelling attractions when they don’t continue east on Route 75 from Stanley 13 miles to Sunbeam Hot Springs, then head north up the Custer Motorway.

It is easily traveled as far as the ghost town of Custer, 12 miles north of this point, although the final nine miles are graded gravel.

The swiftly flowing Yankee Fork joins the Salmon River at Sunbeam, tumbling down a hillside beneath the highway.

In the late 19th century, the Yankee Fork was one of the richest mining districts in the United States. Today many of its sites are protected within the Land of the Yankee Fork Historic Area by the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, which maintains an interpretive center at Challis, 42 miles northeast of Sunbeam.

Named by unsuccessful prospectors from New England, the Yankee Fork began to stir miners’ interest after an 1870 discovery of placer gold

on its tributary, Jordan Creek.

A toll road from Challis opened in 1878 to deliver equipment to mining camps. Now called the Custer Motorway, the Challis National Forest road remains open today, an often-rough thoroughfare not recommended for trailers or low-clearance vehicles.

Custer was a boomtown that grew around the General Custer Mine with its vein of rich gold ore. A huge mill, built in 1880, processed 900 tons of ore per month and produced an estimated $8 million in gold before 1888. It kept operating until 1904, when diminishing ore values and rising production costs forced the mill to close. The population peaked at 600 in 1896, but by 1910, all had moved away.

Custer’s halcyon era may be imagined today during a visit to the ghost town, which welcomes visitors Memorial Day to Labor Day. From the Custer Museum, once a schoolhouse, visitors may begin a walking tour of the town site. Outside,

volunteers help visitors try their luck at panning for gold; most succeed in collecting a small amount.

Across the Motorway from the school, the historic Empire Saloon dispenses sarsaparilla from a bar that once sold considerably harder spirits. Nearby are several restored cabins, an old assay office, a blacksmith shop and a display of the types of stamp mills and other crushing machines employed at area gold mines.

Three miles downriver was the district’s first major town, Bonanza. Established in 1877, it once boasted hotels, a newspaper office, a dentist, even a baseball field. But fires in 1889 and 1897 destroyed much of the town, and its residents moved elsewhere. Only a few log structures, most in poor repair, survive along with an intriguing cemetery a mile west of the site.

It was serendipity that I should encounter Bill Reid, who might be Bonanza’s last man standing. Reid, who grew up in nearby Challis, had stopped

by the homestead built by his grandfather, T.R. Kopp, and still maintained as a home. It stands opposite a decaying saloon and general store that Reid said his uncle had once operated, and behind which the ashes of his late wife had been scattered.

“That’s where I’ll be someday, too,” he said.

Reid said his father had been employed on the valley’s most visible relic, a giant gold dredge that worked the Yankee Fork from 1940 to 1952. The 988ton dredge worked its way upstream 5½ miles, leaving a trail of gravel and tailings behind it.

It stands today beside the Motorway just north of Bonanza, just where it was left 60 years ago. But it has been restored, and welcomes visitors for selfguided tours.

Driving the route between Bonanza and Custer, I could imagine hardy prospectors of days long past, as they braved primitive trails on horseback. I thought that I might like to someday retrace those journeys.

I wonder if Juan would be up for the challenge.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

By Tom Jackman The Washington Post

It seemed impossibly cute, but mostly impossible, when Evan Moss, 7, wrote and illustrated a book last year called “My Seizure Dog.” He wanted to raise $13,000 to buy a service dog to help with his severe epilepsy, and the book depicted all the great things he would do with such a dog. One example: Eat pizza.

Then, thanks to a remarkable outpouring of public support, he raised $45,000, enough to buy service dogs for himself and seven other people. Last month, Evan and his family traveled to Xenia, Ohio, to learn how to handle Mindy.

Mindy, their finely trained new dog, can detect seizures in advance and notify Evan and his family. She uses “machine-gun licking,” as Evan calls it, to alert him that a seizure is imminent.

Now the Mosses are back in the Alexandria section of Fairfax County, Va., with Mindy (and a second dog, Dinky, rescued earlier by Evan’s sister Aria). And the amazing journey of Evan, who has gone through more severe seizure episodes and emergency room visits than you can imagine, now enters a new phase. He is 8.

Evan was born with tuberous sclerosis complex, which caused him to have 300 to 400 short seizures a month as a small child. Brain surgery at 4 stopped the short seizures, but he began to have longer and more serious seizures.

His parents immersed themselves not only in the literature of epilepsy, but also the culture. Rob Moss created a remarkable free website called Seizure Tracker, which helps parents monitor and share data. He has since added a mobile app. Lisa Moss joined the board of the Epilepsy Foundation and is working full time

for the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance.

Rob and Lisa also learned about “seizure dogs,” specially trained not only to alert the epileptic, particularly if he or she is sleeping, but to alert the parents if the person needs help.

The dogs can pick up a scent that provides warning that a seizure is coming as much as five hours before a grand mal seizure (20 minutes before a small seizure). They also can help navigate crowds and provide soothing support by placing their head in one’s lap.

Evan had the idea to write the book last year. He drew pictures of his imagined “seizure dog” sleeping with him and going on airplanes with him and dictated the text to his mother. She self-published the book, got it on Amazon.com and arranged for a book signing in July 2011 at Grounded Coffee, a nearby family hangout.

Shortly before the book signing, a story about Evan appeared in The Washington Post. And Post readers responded. The book signing was mobbed, with more than 600 people lined up to buy books. Folks came from as far away as Pennsylvania and New Jersey, some with service dogs of their own.

More than 400 copies of the book quickly sold for $10 apiece. Post readers sent nu-

Toolkit Continued from C1 Sensenbach hopes his company’s toolkit will help with this situation by teaching people ways they can keep their older loved ones from becoming victims of scams, such as signing them up for the Do Not Call Registry to prevent phone solicitations or showing them how they can properly dispose of documents that have their personal or financial information.

The toolkit also includes information teaching people how they can determine whether their loved one may have recently been victimized by a scammer, contact information for people they should call if they suspect they’ve been scammed and a detailed set of instructions someone should follow after they’ve been scammed to keep them from being victimized again.

“It’s amazing how many of these steps get missed,” Sensenbach said as he looked over the list, which included steps like getting a copy of the police report once it’s been filed, filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commis-

merous emails offering to help, the book shot to No. 1 on Amazon’s best-seller list of children’s health books and, within a week, Evan had raised $20,000.

People magazine flew Evan and his family to Ohio, to 4 Paws for Ability, which trains and raises the service dogs, and vets the families who receive one. The dogs cost $22,000 to train, and 4 Paws asks recipients to pay $13,000.

Families launch fundraising drives that can last years, tracked by 4 Paws.

Last month, the Mosses returned to 4 Paws to pick up Mindy. After two days, they were instructed to take the dog back to their hotel, and by the fifth day, they were trying to deal with the distractions and bustle of a large shopping mall. Graduation was on Day 10.

There were eight other families being trained at the same time, Lisa Moss said, with recipients ranging in age from 5 to 21. Evan remembered them all and narrated his photo show of their dogs on his camera.

Mindy is a golden poodle, part golden retriever and part standard poodle. When Evan met her, she had pink bows in her hair. This was something of an outrage.

“I can’t believe she has bows in her hair,” Evan recalled of their first moment together.

“I’m a boy!”

But she’s a girl, I said.

“Still. She’s my dog.”

His father handled the bulk of the training, with the focus for Evan more on bonding than the mechanics of obedience.

Mindy is just 11 months old and was trained for about five months before meeting Evan.

She is friendly and calm, but when her service vest is snapped on, she becomes more upright and serious.

She’s ready.

Artifact club: on the trail of historical treasures

By Jill Draper McClatchy-Tribune News Service

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — They look for places where pioneers heading west climbed from covered wagons to assess a creek crossing. Places where blue coats and gray coats camped and perhaps traded gunfire. Places where families picnicked and played at the water’s edge.

And when they find these places, they look for buried treasure.

Once a month they gather to wave their wands across the earth in search of traces of the past before a modern-day picnic of grilled hot dogs and potluck fare. Welcome to a typical meeting of the Mid-Western Artifact Society.

One recent Sunday morning, two dozen members combed the grounds of an old Boy Scout camping spot at the southern edge of Swope Park in Kansas City, Mo. After a little socializing, it was time to do some “ground fishing,” as metal detecting is sometimes known.

Some members wandered with their instruments in the shade of old oak trees and at the edges of woods. Others paced in a grid pattern across open, grassy areas. All wore some type of utility apron to pocket trash as well as any treasures.

Their findings would not be remarkable: a Red Ryder belt buckle, three Mercury dimes (also known as Winged Liberty dimes, minted from 19161945), a silver quarter, a World War II German artillery badge, a Boy Scout neckerchief slide and three tent stakes — not nearly as lucrative as trips to an old swimming hole in south Kansas City where the group has uncovered some 200 coins.

Every item tells a story But the loot isn’t really the point. What matters is the thrill of the hunt, camaraderie and a little outdoor exercise.

“What’s the story behind this stuff? How did it get here?

That’s what I like to think about,” says Bob Kerr of Miami County, Kan., who keeps his findings, neatly sorted, in a plastic tackle box.

His thoughts are echoed by club president Dan Spielbusch of Overland Park, Kan. “When I was in high school, I hated history with a passion,” he recalls. “Now I love it.”

Passion is a common trait among metal detector enthusiasts. Few go as far as one aficionado who was buried several years ago in Kansas City’s Floral Hills Cemetery with his metal detector (polished, with fresh batteries) and a silver half-dollar between his fingers.

But “I’m hooked” is a frequent refrain among club members on the forum page of their well-organized website (mwas.org). They post tales about digging up their first silver (usually a Mercury dime). They trade coin books and study old atlases and plat maps. They keep tomes such as “Uniform Buttons of the United States” and “History of the Dog Tag” by their reading chairs. And they share their first experiences with humor and humility.

One message board entry reads: “I went up and down a dry creek bed on a private lane to find enough barbed wire to go all the way to Missouri.

Enough scrap iron to build a ship, 10 pounds of aluminum cans, a golf ball and some

out. He dug up his oldest coin, an 1810 Capped Bust silver half dollar, in a field. “When you find something like that you have to sit down for a minute,” he says. “It’s a rush.”

Ethics

Most of the metal detectors have an LCD screen that gives an indication of what may be under the surface, like a penny, dime, or quarter.

great fossils. Then I went to the local park to find pop tops and tabs, some other trash and five quarters, three dimes and three pennies. Hello McDonald’s. What a great first day!”

Although not quite as old as the Civil War, the first metal detectors date to the late 1800s.

Alexander Graham Bell used a crude machine in an attempt to locate an assassin’s bullet in President James Garfield’s body. The search was unsuccessful, befuddled by the fact that the president was lying on a bedwith steel springs.

Detectors were used to find landmines and other explosives during World War II, and later by the mining industry to locate ore-bearing rocks.

But detecting as a hobby took off only in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when equipment became more portable and affordable. Some club members recall ordering self-assembly kits from the back of comic books and magazines like Popular Mechanics for as little as $14.

Today’s high-end detectors for hobbyists now run between $1,000 and $1,300 and use computer technology that allows the user to set sensitivity, discrimination, tracking speed, threshold volume and other factors. Beginners often make do with inexpensive wands from yard sales and pawn shops.

Whatever the equipment, there is a certain art honed by experience and technique in locating buried objects. Silver, for instance, is relatively easy to distinguish from trash, but gold rings up like an aluminum can pull tab.

Show and tell The group’s monthly meetings follow a standard format: two hours of hunting at a spot where they have obtained permission to search, followed by a potluck picnic and a showand-tell competition, where items discovered at any point since the last meeting are

placed in an organizer with clear plastic pockets.

There are seven categories for the items: most coins, most silver, oldest coin, best coin, best jewelry, best military and most unusual. Votes are tallied and small prizes go to the winners.

Club members found 2,416 coins in June. In May, when the weather was better, the haul was 4,426.

A different type of hunt takes place each September, when the society buries 1,500 silver coins, 500 wheat cents (a penny made from 19091958 with Lincoln on the front and two wheat sheaves on the back) and 75 prize tokens at a private location for a members-only event.

John Irby, the artifact society’s vice president, sometimes brings his personal collection to meetings to encourage newcomers who attend. In Swope Park he shows off a tray of metal trade tokens distributed by merchants at stagecoach stops and train stations in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Like today’s coupons, he says, the tokens offered discounts (2 ½ cents, 5 cents, 25 cents off) for merchandise or a saloon bill.

A second tray contains Civil War relics: heel plates from boots, buttons from uniforms and bullets — lots of them, including some that were flattened into discs to serve as checkers or poker chips. Irby picks up a piece of lead molded into a teardrop shape and rolls it around on his palm. After more than 100 years buried in the dirt, the surface has turned chalky white.

“Can you imagine something like that flying through the air at you?” he asks. “You know a soldier touched that. It takes you so far back in time.

There’s a real connection.”

Irby, of Osawatomie, Kan., likes to research surrounding small towns for possible hunting sites, especially areas abandoned after floods or other setbacks pushed residents

The group recognizes that some people use metal detectors in unscrupulous ways, and it emphasizes the need to follow local ordinances (listed on the artifact society website) as well as a strict code of ethics.

“Remember, there are no un-owned pieces of property!” writes Don Vickers, who manages the website. “Make sure you know who owns it and who is responsible for grant-

ing permission before you attempt to detect it.”

Vickers, who also blogs about the hobby, says his best finds have come from approaching older landowners in older houses on back roads.

If the yard is a bit weedy and the road is unpaved, chances are even better.

“People who have spent their entire lives in a house are usually curious about what oddities from their past you’re going to find,” he writes on the website. “They’re almost excited to have you there.”

Of course, property owners often refuse a request from club members to examine their yards. But enough say yes to make the hunt worth pursuing.

What happens to what’s dug up? That’s usually negotiated at the beginning. Occasionally property owners will request a 5 0/50 split, but most are content to have a look and then let the hunter leave with any relics or coins discovered.

“I always reassure the owners that it’s just a simple hobby with small rewards,” Irby says. “I tell them I’m not going to make a mess — no deep or big holes to retrieve a coin — and I show them everything I find. If it’s a Mercury dime or a piece of jewelry they might have lost at some point, I let them have it.”

Forty years ago, when the world was mostly undetected, coins and relics were easier to find, club members are not deterred by well-hunted spots.

“People have been dropping stuff for thousands of years,” Warren points out. “They’re going to continue to drop stuff.

We’re going to continue to hunt for it.”

Lost and found Since its establishment in 1976, the Mid-Western Artifact Society has assisted almost every local police and sheriff’s department and occasionally the FBI. Sometimes members and their metal detectors are called to a crime scene to look for guns and bullets. Other times they provide a final check to prove that evidence cannot be found.

They also are happy to help people find lost items. They have many stories about lost wedding bands. Here’s one: A couple married just three months were driving on U.S. 69 near Drexel, Mo., when the wife removed her wedding ring and placed it on the console. The husband joked, “If you’re not going to wear that, I’ll just throw it out,” as he dangled the diamond ring near the open window. She reached for it in alarm and accidentally knocked the ring, worth about $4,000, from his hand. It flew through the air and landed in the highway median.

When the couple contacted the society for help, they knew just where it had landed — within 1 mile!

“Bob Kerr and I were out for six hours looking for that thing,” says Roger Ring, who helps coordinate the society’s police hunt committee. “We finally got it — one of our best finds.”

NFL Olympic Medals Table

LONDON OLYMPICS

U.S. women triumph again • The Americans take the gold medal in basketball for the fifth straight time Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn looks to pass against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday.

Seahawks win preseason opener SEATTLE — Tennessee quarterback Matt Hasselbeck had a rocky return to the Pacific Northwest, throwing a pair of interceptions in his limited appearance, while Seattle rookie Russell Wilson dazzled with running and throwing touchdowns in the second half to help the Seahawks open the preseason with a 27-17 victory Saturday night.

Hasselbeck, who was Seattle’s anchor at quarterback for nearly a decade, saw the first play of the game — a pass intended for Nate Washington — get deflected into the arms of Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner and returned 23 yards for a touchdown. Seattle went ahead 17-3 on the first drive of the second half when Wilson, in a three-way competition for the Seahawks’ QB job, threw a 39-yard scoring pass to Braylon Edwards. Wilson added a 32-yard bootleg touchdown run with 1:51 left to cap an impressive debut.

Matt Flynn got the start at quarterback for Seattle while incumbent Tarvaris Jackson was left to watch this week.

Flynn played the entire first half and finished 11 of 13 for 71 yards.

LONDON — The names change, not the results.

Just call the U.S. women’s basketball team Olympic champion — again.

The Americans won their fifth straight gold medal Saturday, routing France 86-50 and putting more distance between themselves and the rest of the world heading into the 2016 Rio Games. “It just shows the depth and talent in our country.

Women’s basketball, it’s our sport — it’s our sport,� said Diana Taurasi, who has been a part of the past three gold medals. “We grew up playing since we were little and give it every single little bit of energy we have.�

Candace Parker scored 21 points, including eight straight during the gamechanging run in the second quarter as the U.S. won its 41st straight Olympic game.

This one was special.

Bend’s Boswell moves up in Utah LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON, Utah — Johann Tschopp emerged after a successful attack over the final miles to win the fifth stage of the Tour of Utah, and take the overall lead Saturday, while Bend’s Ian Boswell moved up to sixth place in the overall standings.

The Swiss rider finished the 102-mile stage in 4 hours, 18 minutes, 19 seconds.

The Czech Republic’s Leopold Koenig finished second, 44 seconds behind. American Joseph Dombrowski was third, 48 seconds behind Tschopp. Boswell was fourth, 52 seconds back, and Bend’s Chris Horner was 10th, 1 minute, 38 seconds behind.

Triathlon Race. “In the past, it’s been a huge majority Bend and Redmond.�

Many from those and other Central Oregon communities did turn out for the fourth annual RAT Race, which

consisted of a sprint triathlon and duathlon, the Lil’ RAT Kids Race and the Cancer Sucks! 5-kilometer Run. But about 40 percent of the triathlon field came from outside of the region, including a number of participants from Washington. One triathlon finisher even hailed from Anchorage, Alaska.

The Lings were one such family from outside of Central Oregon. Richard Ling, 47 and of Steilacoom, Wash., has been racing triathlons for 17 years. He participated in the inaugural RAT Race in 2009 and returned this year.

GOLF: PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

McIlroy, Singh tied in rain-delayed third round; Woods drops back

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

Evan Vucci / The Associated Press

Rory McIlroy waves after a birdie putt on the second green during the third round of the PGA Championship on Saturday.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — Tiger Woods watched the flight of his tee shot until he could see it drifting too far right, and he hung his head slightly as the ball tumbled off the green.

Already with three bogeys in seven holes, it looked as though nothing was going right for him in the PGA Championship.

Dark clouds seem to have followed Woods on the weekend at majors this year. On Saturday at Kiawah Island, they might have saved him.

Facing a 7-foot putt to avoid another bogey, the darkening sky crackled with thunder

and play was suspended with 26 players having to return for a marathon finish today. That might be good news for Woods, not so much for Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy raced to the top of the leaderboard, and not even a tee shot that lodged into a tree on the third hole could slow him.

Once he finally found it stuck in a rotted section of a thick limb, he took a penalty drop and drilled his wedge to 6 feet to save par.

He went out in 32 after a bogey on the ninth hole and was at 6-under par, tied with Vijay Singh, who was on the par-3 eighth hole.

B Mixed martial arts • Henderson keeps UFC lightweight title: Benson Henderson retained the lightweight title at UFC 150 in Denver on Saturday night, doing just enough to outpoint Frankie Edgar in a split decision. Henderson received winning scores of 48-47 from two of the judges, while the third scored it 49-46 for Edgar. Henderson took the belt from Edgar on Feb. 25.

The five-round bout was action-packed, with both fighters landing damaging punches and kicks and nearly submitting each other with choke holds. The difference likely came because of Henderson’s 89-62 advantage in significant punches landed. Henderson (17-2) will next defend his title against Nate Diaz (16-7).

Tennis • Djokovic advances to Rogers Cup final: Top-seeded Novak Djokovic advanced to the Rogers Cup final, beating fellow Serb Janko Tipsarevic 6-4, 6-1 on Saturday night in the rain-delayed tournament in Toronto. Djokovic, the winner of the hardcourt event in 2007 and 2011, will race Richard Gasquet in the final.

The Frenchman, seeded 14th, beat John Isner 7-6 (3), 6-3.

Gasquet, ranked 21st in the world, is making his first trip to a Masters 1000 final in six years.

Football • Johnson arrested on domestic violence charge: Dolphins receiver Chad Johnson was arrested Saturday on a domestic violence charge, accused of head-butting his newlywed wife during an argument in front of their home outside Miami. Johnson and his wife, Evelyn Lozada, were at dinner and she confronted him about a receipt she had found for a box of condoms, said Davie police Capt. Dale Engle. The argument got heated and continued on the drive home, he said.

Kobe prepares for likely last Olympic hurrah

Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, left, crosses the finish line ahead of Ryan Bailey of the United States in the men’s 4x100-meter relay final at the Summer Olympics in London on Saturday. Jamaica set a new world record with a time of 36.84 seconds.

Bolt anchors Jamaica to relay record for 3rd gold

By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

LONDON — Be it a gold medal or a souvenir from a record relay run, Usain Bolt always gets what he wants at the Olympics.

The Jamaican will leave London a perfect three for three — three events, three victories — just the way he departed Beijing four years ago.

Almost even with the last U.S. runner when he got the baton for the anchor leg of the 4x100 meters, Bolt steadily pulled away down the stretch, gritting his teeth and leaning at the line to cap his perfect Summer Games by leading Jamaica to victory in a world-record 36.84 seconds Saturday night.

“A wonderful end to a wonderful week,” Bolt said. “What else do I need to do to prove myself as a legend?”

After crossing the line, he pleaded with an official to let him keep the yellow baton he was clutching. Told he’d be disqualified if he didn’t hand it over, Bolt complied, and some nearby spectators booed. About 40 minutes later, that same official approached Bolt and returned the stick. Bolt responded with a bow of thanks and a chuckle, kissed the baton — and then asked his teammates to autograph it.

One more possession to help him remember his performances at 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium, where any mention of Bolt’s name drew raucous cheers, countless camera flashes and chants of “Usain!” or “We want Bolt!”

He reiterated that this could be it for him on track and field’s biggest stage. Bolt turns 26 on Aug. 21, and refuses to commit to showing up at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.

“It’s going to be hard to really do that. I’ve done all I want to do,” said Bolt, noting that he planned to go out on the town Saturday night.

“I’ve got no more goals.”

Bolt added the relay gold to the ones he earned in the 100 in 9.63 seconds last Sunday — the secondfastest time in history — and the 200 in 19.32 on Thursday. The runner-up in both individual sprints, Bolt’s pal and training partner Yohan Blake, ran the third leg of the relay, following Nesta Carter and Michael Frater.

The U.S. quartet of Trell Kimmons, 100 bronze medalist Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailey got the silver in 37.04, equaling the old record that Bolt helped set at last year’s world championships. Trinidad & Tobago took the bronze in 38.12. Canada, which was third across the line, was disqualified for running outside its lane, and its appeal was rejected.

As Blake and Gay rounded the race’s final curve, they were pretty much in sync, stride for stride.

But when that duo was done, the relay came down to Bolt vs. Bailey, who was fifth in the 100 meters in 9.88.

Really not a fair matchup.

“It was over from there,” Blake said.

Sure was.

After transferring the baton from his left hand to his right, the 6-foot-5 Bolt churned up the track with his long-as-can-be strides, and Bailey had no chance to keep up.

“Wow,” Bailey said. “He’s a monster.”

Bolt kept adding to his lead and actually spared his now-customary showboating at the finish, instead driving through the line on a windy, chilly night (with the temperature hovering around 60 degrees (15 C), he was wearing black gloves and a black wool cap before the race).

“He was basically the difference in the race. It was even all the way around,” Gay said. “When he got

the stick, there was nothing we could do about it.”

After seeing the record time, Bolt began to celebrate, something he relishes as much as running, it seems.

He mugged for the cameras with Blake, each doing a signature pose. Bolt did his “To the World” move, where he leans back and points to the sky. Blake curled his hands as if they were claws while making a scary face to match the nickname Bolt gave him, “The Beast.”

“We are not human. ... We drop from space,” joked Blake, who said a woman ran up and kissed him on the cheek after the race.

Loud as the appreciation of Bolt was, it wasn’t as deafening as the roar earlier in the evening for British runner Mo Farah, who won the 5,000 meters in 13 minutes, 41.66 seconds to add that gold to last Saturday’s in the 10,000. Former University of Oregon star Galen Rupp, who won silver in the 10,000, finished in sixth place.

On the last night of track and field action at the stadium — the final event, the men’s marathon, will be run through the city’s streets today — other golds went to the United States in the women’s 4x400meter relay; Anna Chicherova of Russia in the women’s high jump; Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago in the men’s javelin; and Mariya Savinova of Russia in the women’s 800, with Caster Semenya of South Africa getting the silver three years after being forced to take gender tests.

The U.S. victory in the 4x400meter relay allowed Allyson Felix to collect her third gold medal, after those in the 200 and the 4x100.

She’s the first American woman with three track golds at a single Olympics since 1988, when Florence Griffith-Joyner won the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay.

LONDON — Kobe Bryant, take a bow.

No longer the greatest of the greats on the Olympic roster, Bryant is leaving the international stage after the London Games. With one more win, he’ll complete his exit just as he envisioned.

Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and the rest of this glittering American team face Spain today for Olympic gold only hours before London shuts down this successful Summer Games show.

“Well, I just want to go out the right way,” Bryant said before practice Saturday. “You know, go out the right way by winning a gold medal.”

Also today on the Olympics’ final day, Brazil plays for its second men’s volleyball gold medal in three Olympics when it meets Russia in the final. In the pool, it’s Italy against unbeaten Croatia for the men’s water polo championship.

When the next Summer Olympics arrive at Rio de Janeiro in 2016, Bryant will be pushing 38. Old for basketball legs, indeed. The Los Angeles Lakers’ star turned 30 during his Olympic debut four years ago in Beijing while still in his basketball prime.

A lesser role in London has done little to diminish his popularity. Globally, Bryant remains the most recognizable face of this roster everywhere he goes. Fans swarm him, desperate for any moment with the NBA superstar.

Autograph. Photo. A quick word. Any tiny piece of Kobe will do.

“It’s been fun,” said Bryant, who spent part of his childhood in Italy where his father played pro basketball. “You get a chance to go out into different countries and you get a chance to meet a lot of people just walking up and down the street wanting pictures and autographs.

You get a chance to make a lot of people happy.

I don’t get a chance to come out here too often.

They don’t really get a chance to see me play in person too often, so it’s a thrill.”

Bryant had a bigger presence on the court in 2008 than he does now. He has seemed to enjoy his place in London, taking a back seat to James & Co. Bryant has watched while James, Anthony and Kevin Durant command the world stage for the unbeaten Americans (7-0).

“I get a chance to kind of just rest a little bit and let them do all the running and jumping and stuff, and show glimpses every now and then of what I can do,” Bryant said.

Bryant has picked his spots, cranking up his game when needed. It has worked out fine for everybody.

“Don’t let Kobe fool you,” Durant cracked.

“He’s just resting up for the season — that’s what he’s worried about. But he knows when he’s got to turn it on he’ll turn it on.”

After a slow start in London, Bryant stressed he wasn’t worried about his scoring. Then, he produced two clutch games during the medal rounds to get the Americans in the very spot they’ve expected to be from the moment they were brought together this summer: chasing a second straight Olympic championship, with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski orchestrating this array of NBA egos.

This team might not have the Dream Team tag of the 1992 squad led by Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. But it might wind up outscoring that team from 20 years ago.

Bryant certainly will do his part — whatever the numbers, whatever his role. Bryant is the Americans’ fifth-best scorer, averaging 11.3 points to go with 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists. He had 20 points in 20 minutes in a 11986 quarterfinal victory against Australia on Wednesday. He then scored 13 points on fivefor-10 shooting with three three-pointers in Friday’s semifinal rout of Argentina.

ROUNDUP

COMMENTARY

U.S. diver gets surprising gold in 10-meter platform

American women have the spotlight in London, but will the show go on?

From wire reports LONDON — David Boudia was once desperately afraid of heights — particularly the three-story height of the platform used for the men’s high-dive competition in the Olympics.

On Saturday, he dove from that same 10-meter board with such flair under such pressure that he won an unlikely Olympic gold medal on his final dive — the first U.S. men’s individual diving gold medal since Greg Louganis in 1988.

Talk about scaling new heights. In a virtual three-way tie going into the final dive with British favorite Tom Daley and China’s Qiu Bo, Boudia pulled off the highest-scoring dive by any diver the entire night to win gold.

The Chinese diver finished second. Daley was such a happy bronze medalist that both he and a bunch of his friends on Great Britain’s diving squad celebrated by jumping into the pool. American Nick McCrory, who had teamed with Boudia for a bronze medal in 10-meter synchronized diving earlier in these Olympics, was ninth.

Ten years ago, when Boudia was first learning to dive, he would sometimes climb the 33 feet to the top and climb back down again. “You have to be crazy to jump off a three-story building and dive at 35 mph,” he said Saturday night.

Boudia, now a 23-year-old communications major at Purdue, first got brave enough to do flips and somersaults off the big board by drawing stick figures of each maneuver while he was supposed to be paying attention to his ninth-grade classes.

He was able to manage his fear by mapping out dives in that way, but said he didn’t totally conquer it until after he represented the U.S. in his first Olympics in 2008, finishing fifth in one event and 10th in another. After that, Boudia began seeing a sports psychologist who helped him, and he said his faith in God deepened and helped to stabilize him mentally.

Boudia nearly didn’t have a chance at his upset at all. On Friday night in the preliminaries, he was terrible. The field was cut that night from 32 divers to 18. Boudia finished 18th, barely scraping into the Saturday morning semifinals.

But the scores are wiped away after each round. Boudia was much better in the Saturday morning semifinals, finishing third behind the two Chinese divers.

China is diving’s version of the New York Yankees — if the Yankees were better. A sports reporter from the China Daily newspaper had bemoaned the fact in print that out of the seven diving events already held at these Olympics, China had “only” won six gold medals. Losing out on another gold would be unacceptable, the journalist concluded, writing that in Olympic diving “six

gold medals is like losing.”

But Chinese diver Lin Yue badly missed a dive early in the competition, knocking him out of medal contention. Daley got a rare “re-dive” on his first attempt after saying all the photo flashes from the soldout crowd bothered him. “I wouldn’t have won the bronze medal without that,” Daley said.

By pre-determined order, Boudia followed Daley after every dive, usually while the crowd was still on its feet cheering its favorite son.

“I’m so glad I went after him,” Boudia said. “I’m an adrenaline junkie. Diving after Tom Daley and having 18,000 people erupt in the stands — my heart was racing. I was having so much fun out there.”

In the final round, Boudia, Daley and Qiu were far ahead of the other nine divers in the final. They would finish 1-2-3, but in which order?

Daley, going first, knew he was at a disadvantage. Divers can set up the order of their dives at their own discretion, and his final dive had a smaller degree of difficulty, making it harder for him to get a high score.

He scored just over 90 points.

Then came Boudia, doing a back 2½ somersault with 2½ twists. He had purposely not looked at the scoreboard, so he didn’t know if he was ahead or behind.

On Boudia’s final dive, he scored 102.60 — the best of the evening. The Chinese diver had a chance to tie or surpass him, but fell just short on exactly the same dive with a score of 100.80 — the secondhighest score of the evening.

Boudia said the moment, as great as it was, would only be the second-best of his 2012. He gets married in October, and that will trump it, he feels sure.

But it was still quite a night.

“It’s so surreal right now,” Boudia said. “I can’t believe I’m an Olympic champion.”

The rest of the Olympic action Saturday: SOCCER Mexico earned its first Olympic gold medal in men’s soccer and left Brazil wondering if it will ever be able to add the title to its long list of triumphs. Oribe Peralta scored 29 seconds into the final at Wembley Stadium and added another goal in the second half, leading Mexico to the 2-1 upset. Hulk scored for Brazil in injury time, but Oscar missed a header in the final seconds to waste the last chance for a comeback in front of 86,162 fans.

VOLLEYBALL Jaqueline Carvalho had 18 points and Brazil beat the United States in four sets to stop the Americans from winning their first Olympic gold medal in women’s volleyball.

Brazil became the third team to repeat as gold medalist. The Soviet Union won in 1968 and 1972, while Cuba won three straight starting with the 1992 Barcelona Games. American star Destinee Hooker was held to 14 points.

BOXING Bantamweight Luke Campbell won Britain’s first Olympic boxing gold medal in his division since 1908, dramatically knocking down rival John Joe Nevin of Ireland midway through the third round of a 14-11 victory. China’s Zou Shiming, light welterweight Roniel Iglesias, middleweight Ryota Murata and Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk also won their divisions. Murata narrowly won the second boxing gold in Japan’s Olympic history, beating Brazil’s Esquiva Falcao 14-13 on the strength of a two-point holding penalty against Falcao in

the final round.

SAILING Tamara Echegoyen, Angela Pumariega and Sofia Toro of Spain won the Olympic gold medal in women’s match racing, thanks in part to a boathandling error by Australia that swept its skipper into the water. With the best-of-five match tied at one, the boats were sailing nearly side-byside downwind in the third race in big waves on Weymouth Bay when the Australian crew lost control and its boat rolled on its side. Skipper Olivia Price was swept out of the back of the boat and her crew had to pick her up before continuing.

CANOE SPRINT Britain’s Ed McKeever won the men’s 200-meter kayak sprint in its Olympic debut, living up to his billing as “Usain Bolt on Water.” McKeever powered his way to victory in 36.246 seconds. Spain’s Saul Craviotto Rivero was second and Canada’s Mark de Jonge beat France’s Maxim Beaumont to bronze by three-hundredths of a second.

CYCLING — MOUNTAIN BIKE Julie Bresset picked up the victory at her first Olympics, rolling through the English countryside and waving the French flag as she finished.

Bresset dominated the picturesque course at Hadleigh Farm. She took advantage of a mistake by defending gold medalist Sabine Spitz of Germany to build a massive lead, then rolled through the last of six laps all alone. Spitz wound up with the silver medal, and Georgia Gould of the United States claimed bronze. It was only the second Olympic medal in mountain biking for the Americans, who are credited with developing the sport in the 1970s.

GYMNASTICS — RHYTHMIC Evgeniya Kanaeva became the first rhythmic gymnast to win two Olympic all-around titles, defending her gold medal from Beijing. Russia has captured the last four Olympic individual titles. It also has a chance for another four-peat in today’s group event, too.

WRESTLING — FREESTYLE Artur Taymazov of Uzbekistan won his third straight Olympic wrestling gold in the men’s 120-kilogram division, beating Georgia’s Davit Modzmanashvili in the final. Taymazov joins Alexander Medved of the former Soviet Union and Russian great Alexander Karelin as the only male wrestlers to win gold medals in three straight games.

ELSEWHERE IN LONDON Norway retained its Olympic title in women’s team handball by beating Montenegro 26-23. ... Germany defeated the Netherlands 2-1 to win its second straight men’s field hockey title and spoil a bid for a Dutch double in the sport. ... Russia collected two gold medals in race-walk events, with Elena Lashmanova winning the women’s 20kilometer and Sergei Kirdyapkin taking the men’s 50k.

Lashmanova broke the world record with a time of 1 hour, 25 minutes, 2 seconds. ... David Svoboda of the Czech Republic won the men’s modern pentathlon.

LONDON — The women of America are winning.

The women of America are fabulous. The women of America are seizing the Olympics by the throat, causing millions of television viewers to fall in love with their athletic prowess.

And with good cause. As of Saturday night, 67 percent of the United States’ gold medals here at London 2012 have been claimed by females.

So why is it, when the Games conclude tonight, all of that love will mysteriously vanish?

That is no wild prediction. That is a near certainty, based on history.

Every four years for three Olympic weeks, women are the biggest athletic attraction on American television. Then, for the other three years and 49 weeks, they fall almost completely off the radar. The country pretty much decides that the last thing it wants to do is buy tickets to see these very same women play their sports professionally.

Leagues are formed and folded. Television ratings are miniscule.

As the great feminist Yogi Berra once noted: “If the fans don’t come out to the ballpark, you can’t stop them.” It could be the official motto for so many women’s pro franchises in so many sports.

Over the past 15 years, two women’s pro soccer leagues have failed. One basketball league collapsed and the other still struggles to find positive cash flow. A pro beach volleyball circuit has declared bankruptcy and is trying to re-boot. Indoor pro volleyball leagues have come and gone. And the medal-winning gymnasts’ only box office appeal is on barnstorming tours.

Teresa Edwards knows all the gory details. She played basketball for the USA in five Olympics. She’s here in London serving as Chef de Mission for the entire American delegation — basically, organizer of the field trip.

At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Edwards was part of a USA team that drew crowds of 25,000 en route to a gold medal victory. But the mass enthusiasm didn’t translate when Edwards went on to play in two different American pro leagues, one that folded after three seasons (the ABL) and another (WNBA) that has had six franchises dissolve but is at least breathing and active.

“We’ve got a lot of choices to make in America,” Edwards said Saturday when asked why women’s pro leagues have failed to gain traction. “There are lots of opportunities to watch a lot of different sports. A lot of things take time. But I think we’ve come a long way. And I do think what soccer has done here ... you have to take another look at it.”

She was referencing the scene Thursday night when 80,203 spectators showed up at storied Wembley Stadium to watch the USA defeat Japan for a gold medal.

The game also drew the largest viewing audience in the history of cable’s NBC Sports Channel, which also carries hockey’s Stanley Cup Finals.

You’d think this would provide a gigantic bump and boost for women’s pro soccer back in the States.

Except that nothing exists to be bumped or boosted.

The Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) league melted away earlier this year. A vague plan for a new fourteam successor has surfaced but with no name or details.

In other words, you can probably ignore Edwards’ thought that the wave of London 2012 soccer giddiness might carry over into

anything meaningful. Frustrated marketers and promoters have drilled holes in their foreheads, trying to explain that post-Games falloff. But the biggest reason is the simplest. It lies in the solution to the other most-obsessed-over riddle about the Olympics: Namely, why does NBC insist on not covering the Games live and instead package the events as delayed nightly entertainment?

Answer: Because the people who watch the Olympics on television are, in large part, people who do not watch any other sports on television. They don’t care if they are watching live or delayed events. They are in it for the eye candy and storytelling.

Surveys taken by NBC show that 69 million Americans who viewed the Beijing Olympics in 2008 did not watch any NFL games later that year. Also, nearly half of the Games’ overall viewership has never watched a minute of ESPN programming.

These statistics may come as stunning news to diehard sports junkies who believe every American is constitutionally required to consume Monday Night Football or the NBA Finals.

But the numbers are hardly new information to sponsors and corporations that provide the financial lifeblood to men’s professional sports in America.

Here’s why that data hurts women’s pro sports: You know those 69 million humans who watch the Olympics and no other athletic programming? They are mostly females. Theoretically, they constitute the largest untapped potential customer base for any new women’s pro leagues. But if those 69 million people aren’t following sports on a daily or weekly basis on television, they certainly aren’t interested in going to games even on a monthly basis.

Next week, America’s silver medal female volleyball players will return to their pro teams in Poland and Russia and Brazil. America’s gold medal soccer players have either signed contracts with overseas leagues or are begrudgingly joining amateur or semi-pro club teams stateside.

Hope Solo, the outspoken USA goalie, did not bite her tongue after Thursday’s championship game.

“If I sit and think about it, there’s a little bitterness,” Solo said. “More than a little bitterness. It’s the times we live in — there should be opportunities for women. We have so many young players coming out of college and they have nowhere to play.”

Yet in terms of what’s happened here in London, it’s impossible to be even a little negative. The American women have kicked butts and taken names. For this, credit goes to the Title IX legislation that has created more sports opportunities.

Only a few other countries support female sports participation the way we do in the U.S., which is why 60 of the 130 gold medals presented to women so far (46 percent) have been won by the U.S., China and Russia. By contrast, those three countries’ men have won just 42 of the 149 gold medals presented so far to men (28 percent).

If that has been the USA post-Games victory rather than a thriving landscape of women’s pro sports leagues, that is still a great victory.

And these past 17 days have continued the cycle.

“I hope,” said USA judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison, “that we have a million little girls who are inspired by this.”

Inspired to play? Yes. Which is still the best and most important thing.

But inspired to buy tickets?

2012 Summer Olympics

Women

U.S. wraps up Olympic medals race win over China

By Tim Reynolds The Associated Press

LONDON — Swimming, track and field, basketball, women’s soccer, Serena Williams and Aly Raisman. They all found their way onto U.S. Olympic Committee chairman Larry Probst’s highlight list from the London Games.

“I like to hear ‘The StarSpangled Banner’ — a lot,” Probst said.

Good thing, because the U.S. national anthem has blared more than any other in London over these past two weeks, and that won’t change before the Olympic flame is extinguished tonight. With one day left, the U.S. has locked up the overall medals race over China, and continue to hold off the Chinese in the chase to win the most gold medals.

It will be the fifth straight Summer Games where U.S. athletes took home more prizes than anyone else from an Olympics.

“The Olympic motto is faster, higher, stronger. And I think that every American came here to do that,” U.S. judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison said Saturday. “Not necessarily fastest, highest, strongest, but I came here to perform at my very, very best and make America proud as a result.”

She wasn’t alone.

Through Saturday’s medal events, U.S. Olympians in London had claimed 102 medals, 15 more than the Chinese. Americans were also leading the goldmedal chase over China, 44-38.

American swimmers won 31 medals. Track and field now has 29, one marathon medal on Sunday away from getting to 30 — a goal that seemed

farfetched to some in the U.S. Olympic movement not long ago. Gabby Douglas won the women’s all-around competition in gymnastics, Raisman left that venue with three medals and Williams won Olympic gold at Wimbledon over Maria Sharapova in what Probst said was “the most dominating performance I have ever seen by a female tennis player, ever.”

Williams rolled over Sharapova that day, 6-0, 6-1.

Most of the other Americans weren’t quite that dominant — but weren’t exactly slackers, either.

“Yeah, we like to come in first. There’s nothing wrong with that,” Probst said. “This is a competition and I think it’s absolutely great that we’re leading in the medal count, both on golds and in total. The last time we won both gold and the total was in Athens, so it’s been a while. I think it feels good to see our athletes be so successful on the field of play.”

USOC CEO Scott Blackmun said about 200 American athletes will leave London with a medal, a figure buoyed by success in plenty of team sports.

If his estimate of 200 holds, that would mean roughly 38 percent of the U.S. athletes competing at the games would make at least one trip to the award podium.

Blackmun said before the Olympics that the U.S. was obviously hopeful of winning the medal chase again, but never revealed if the committee had a specific target number.

On Saturday, Blackmun did say that the way the games have panned out was “pretty darn close” to the U.S. expectations.

“For me, it’s not a competi-

tion in medal count against somebody else,” said U.S. decathlete Ashton Eaton, a gold medalist in London and the world-record holder in his event. “I think if you just are cheering your country on and you’re just trying to beat whoever is in front of you in your competition, the medals take care of themselves, really.”

Probst gave high praise on Saturday to the way London organizers put the Olympics together, and a number of U.S. athletes also raved about the logistics — from buses running on time to the quality of the Olympic village.

Probst, however, took one good-natured shot at London organizing committee head Sebastian Coe, who said earlier this year that he expected China to take away more medals than anyone else.

“The only thing that Seb got slightly wrong was he predicted that we would come in behind China in the medal count,” Probst said. “And I told him back in April that we were going to work really, really hard to prove him wrong.”

So this medals win might be a bit sweeter for the Americans than the most recent ones that came at Atlanta, Sydney, Athens and Beijing.

“The American public has high expectations for our Olympic team and our Olympic athletes,” Probst said.

“There was a lot of speculation about where we would finish as a team. And a lot of people predicted that we might finish second and some even suggested third. So we’re extremely proud of what our team has accomplished and what our athletes have accomplished.”

Continued from D1 Taurasi, who said she doesn’t get emotional, cried receiving her gold medal and then paraded around draped in an American flag.

“A little trip down memory lane,” Taurasi said. “The track record was going through my head. My parents, Coach was there. It was just a lot of things hit me at once and that’s what happened.”

The winning streak started in the bronze medal game in 1992. In that stretch, the Americans have won by nearly 30 points a game. Only one team has stayed within single digits of them, and they’ve lost just once in major international competitions, to Russia in the semifinals of the 2006 world championship.

Coach Geno Auriemma didn’t want to get drawn into the debate of where this team ranks among the five that have won the gold.

“The United States has had great teams since 1996 and we are just another one on the list,” he said. “We accomplished the same thing they did and I don’t know if that separates us. I think it just makes us equal.”

Teresa Edwards, Dawn Staley, Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie got the amazing run started, and Taurasi, Sue Bird and Tamika Catchings have continued it.

With young stars Parker, Maya Moore and Tina Charles a big part of the success in London it doesn’t look like the run will end anytime soon.

“The players give back. You have players coming back for a third Olympics to show the younger players what it takes to win a gold medal,” said Parker, a two-time Olympian. “I learned a lot from Tina Thompson, Lisa Leslie, Katie Smith and now Dee, Tami-

ka, Sue. It’s just the passing down of what it takes to win.

That commitment to USA Basketball.”

Catchings said the Americans “just wanted to keep that legacy going.”

Edwards, a five-time Olympian, said no worry there.

“The legacy is real,” said Edwards, who had a front-row seat Saturday night. “What these kids have been doing is amazing. Without much time to practice. In the middle of the WNBA season. And they look good. It’s like the whole world knows who we are. I’m really proud of them.

“They’re definitely among some of the best” U.S. teams.

The U.S. faced its only challenge of the London Games when Australia took a four-point halftime lead. It was the first time in 12 years that the Americans had been trailing at the half. There was no panic or worry. They just stepped up their defense and vanquished the Australians, winning by 13 points.

“It’s not easy to just be put together and be expected to win a gold medal,” Taurasi

said. “It’s a special feeling.”

France, which came into the gold medal game unbeaten, stayed with the U.S. for the first 12 minutes before Parker took over. She scored eight straight points during a 13-2 run that gave the U.S. a 37-23 advantage. Twice the 6-foot-4 Parker grabbed the rebound on the defensive end and dribbled up through the defense scoring on the other.

While Parker — who also had 11 rebounds — was providing the offense, the Americans turned up their defense, holding France to just one basket over the final 7:25 of the half.

“We always felt like as long as we played our best ... we’d be all right,” Bird said.

The U.S. led by 12 at the half and poured it on in the third quarter. France got within 4131 but the U.S. scored 13 of the next 14 points as any thoughts of a monumental upset were forgotten.

On one sequence, Catchings got a steal and passed to Bird, who hit Moore in perfect stride for a finger-roll lay-in down the lane.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

RAT Continued from D1 His wife, Tracy, is originally from Bend, and he said the family decided to time their Central Oregon vacation with this year’s race.

“It’s a lot bigger,” Ling observed of the event’s growth, adding that there were about twice as many participants as the first year that he raced the event.

This time around, Ling did the sprint triathlon with his son David, 13, who is in his second year of racing triathlons.

“The bike was nice, really scenic, but then the canyon run was a bit tough,” said David of the triathlon’s 5K run through the Dry Canyon on a day that was already well on its way to hot by mid-morning.

Father and son both fared well. Richard Ling was third overall in 1 hour, 2 minutes, 29 seconds, while David won the men’s 19 and under division in 1:15:08.

Ryan Carrasco, of Bend, was the overall winner of the race — which also consisted of a 500-meter swim in the Cascade Swim Center and a 12-mile bike ride on Redmond

PGA Continued from D1 “It’s nice going into the final day — hopefully, if we get it finished — in a great position,” McIlroy said. “And it being 27 holes, I definitely don’t mind. I don’t mind if it takes a while to get done.”

Singh started and finished his short day with birdies — an 18-foot putt on the first, and a 25-foot putt on the par-5 seventh.

Right behind was Adam Scott, showing more magic than hangover from his British Open collapse last month.

Scott was three shots out of the lead when the third round began and cruising along with pars until four birdies on the last five holes of the front nine.

That stretch began with a shot he holed from a sandy area on the par-3 fifth, and it ended with a 45-foot birdie putt across the green on the ninth.

“Right now I am in good position,” Scott said. “Unfortunate not to continue because I was on a little bit of a run. But hopefully, I’ll come back out and play 27 good ones tomorrow.”

About the only players disappointed to see the windswept third round end were the players who had already finished — Bo Van Pelt (67) at 3-under 213, Steve Stricker (67) at 2under 214, Padraig Harrington (69) another shot behind.

And Woods.

“I got off to a rough start today and couldn’t get anything going,” Woods said through a spokesman. “I’ll come back tomorrow morning and see what happens. There are a lot of holes left to play.”

He failed to birdie the par-5 second hole when he tugged his approach into the back bunker and only blasted out to 20 feet.

The real damage came on the third hole, the one that saved McIlroy. Woods hit a wedge into 4 feet, and his birdie putt raced by the edge of the cup.

It unraveled after that. He hit a spectator with his tee shot at No. 4, signing a glove for the fan, went over the green and

roads north of the aquatic center — in 59:13. Madras resident Scott Delamarter was second in 1:01:57.

Unlike the Lings, Kylee Johnson stayed right at home

for her first-ever triathlon and flashed the potential to be a standout in the sport in the future. The 17-year-old finished third among women and first in her age division, complet-

ing the course in 1:13:33. Susan Waugh, of Klamath Falls, won in 1:11:44, while Laura O’Connell, of Bend, was second in 1:12:48.

“My mom’s done these,

so I decided to try one, and I did really well,” said Johnson, adding that she has plans to race the MAC Dash triathlon in Madras in early September.

She did do well, especially considering a lack of experience in cycling. Johnson, a senior-to-be at Redmond High School, has participated on the Panthers track and field and swimming teams, but Saturday marked her first time racing on a bike. In fact, she only practiced on the bike one time before the race, she said, and she borrowed the road bike on which she raced from a friend of her mother.

None of that stopped her from posting a solid 38:20 split on the bike leg.

“My legs were burning, but I just told myself, ‘Don’t stop,’ and as soon as I saw the bike racks again, I picked it up even more and that kind of motivated me to finish strong,” Johnson recalled of the bike leg.

Duathlon winners were Redmond’s Gary Bruce in 55:07 and Bend’s Lindsay Carlson in 54:34, while 5K run winners were James Blanchard, of Prineville, in 20:07, and Redmond’s Sidney Davis in 22:15. In all, about

Four South Koreans share lead at Farr SYLVANIA, Ohio — For the lead groups, the final round of the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic will be just like a friendly round back home in South Korea.

Oh, and give the winner a check for $195,000.

South Koreans Jiyai Shin, I.K. Kim, So Yeon Ryu and Hee Kyung Seo dominated the leaderboard, sharing the top spot at 11-under 202 on Saturday through the third round.

Two more South Koreans, Inbee Park (69) and second-round leader Chella Choi (70), were a shot back along with Japan’s Mika Miyazato (69).

Call them the Seoul sisters.

“It will be really exciting Sunday,” said Kim, who will be chasing her fourth career LPGA Tour victory. “These are players that I grew up with. I know them personally and I know their family issues and all that. So, even though we’re playing in the U.S., having them around I feel much more at home.”

muffed a difficult chip. Woods had to make a 4-foot bogey putt, and then hit another low hook that led to bogey on the fifth.

He started the third round tied for the lead with Singh and Carl Pettersson at 4-under 140. Seven holes into the third round, Woods already was five shots behind. It was starting to look familiar to Woods, who has yet to break par on the weekend at a major this year. This was the second time this year Woods had a share of the 36-hole lead going into weekend at the majors. He is 13-over par in his six weekend rounds at majors, including a 75-73 finish at Olympic Club to go from a tie for the lead to a tie for 21st in the U.S. Open.

The 26 players who didn’t finish the round will return this morning. The final round was to be played in threesomes of both tees, rare for a major championship.

Singh, the 49-year-old who has not been in contention at a major in six years, opened with a 15-foot birdie putt and made a strong recovery from trouble on the par-5 seventh by making a 25-foot putt to join McIlroy atop the leaderboard.

Pettersson was at 4 under through eight holes.

Stopping play might be the best thing that happened to

Woods — and a tough break for those who finished.

“You never know what the weather will be like when they go back out,” said Van Pelt, the clubhouse leader. “So they might get the good end of it or the bad end of it. To me, just glad to be done. I did what I could do, and I’m sure before I go to bed tonight I’ll know kind of where I stand going into tomorrow.”

Not really.

It’s the first time since 2008 that the PGA Championship didn’t complete three rounds on Saturday. Some players had to go 36 holes on the final day that year, and Padraig Harrington wound up winning his second straight major.

“Unfortunately, the weather gods turned against us today,” said Kerry Haigh, the PGA’s managing director of championships.

Harrington might be in the picture again, depending on how the rest of the field fares this morning. He was 4 under on his round until a double bogey on the 10th hole, though that was his only big mistake and he wound up with a 69.

Harrington was at 1-under 215.

“I would rather it just stayed the way it was,” Harrington said about the weather. “Who knows what’s going to hap-

pen now? ... It could be a good break, but it could be a bad break. We’ll just have to wait and see how it all pans out. But would have settled for the guys to play the same conditions we played and have them play the back nine in the wind, because the back nine was a lot tougher than the front nine.”

McIlroy opened with a 15foot birdie putt, followed with a long two-putt birdie on the par-5 second, and then the adventure began. His tee shot dropped out of the sky and into a crevice in the thick limb that appeared to be dying.

“I know the line of the ball was right on the tree,” McIlroy

170 individuals participated in the triathlon, duathlon and 5K run events, and Helie said he believed that more than 100 kids took part in the Lil’ RAT Race, staged at the event finish line in Sam Johnson Park. In the Lil’ RAT Race, kids 10 and younger got the chance to race a triathlon of their own. While results from the other events were being finalized, the kids negotiated a water-themed obstacle course — while being doused with water from a Redmond Fire & Rescue fire engine hose — before heading out on short bike and run legs.

All of which made for an enjoyable ending to the RAT Race for kids and adults alike.

“It’s just a really fun event.

And I think one thing that makes events more fun is when you know people,” said Victoria Davis, 35 and of Redmond, who participated in the duathlon on a team with her husband, Dan, 33. “Since Redmond’s pretty small, we see people here that we see during the week, during the year, so it’s just fun to go around and talk to people.”

the next,” McIlroy said.

The next hole was just as good, though not as dramatic, when he holed a 15-foot putt for par, and then he hit his tee shot to about 5 feet on the par-3 fifth hole.

Stricker, trying to earn his way onto the Ryder Cup team, brought a chance at his first major championship into the picture when he ran off five birdies in a seven-hole stretch around the turn before missing a short putt on the 13th for his lone bogey. He finished with a birdie.

Trevor Immelman was 3 under through 10 holes, while Graeme McDowell remains poised to contend in a third straight major. He was at 2 under through 11 holes, and then ducked into the clubhouse to avoid the pounding rain. Players checked the weather on their phones, and saw nothing but bad weather.

“Disappointing,” McDowell said. “We’ve done well this week to avoid the storms that are pretty inevitable in this part of the country this time of the year.”

And it was slightly disappointing to have to stop, especially for those chasing.

“It was a great test of golf out there this afternoon, a nice 50 mph breeze to keep everyone honest,” he said. “We’ll see how conditions are in the morning.”

said. “We’d been looking for it for maybe about three minutes and then one of the guys that was working for TV came over and said, ‘You know, it’s actually stuck in the tree.’ I’m like, ‘How can it be stuck in this thing? There’s no branches, no leaves for it to be stuck in. But it had wedged itself in between the tree bark and the actual tree.

COBA Tour of Homes™ 2012 Award Winner for: ✶ Best Kitchen ✶ Best Interior Finish ✶ Best Value

COJGA Continued from D1 But Thomas — a 70-yearold Sunriver resident who has volunteered for COJGA since 2000 — has already seen an eyeful.

“It was very successful,” says Thomas of the 2012 COJGA season. “We had some pretty low scores at times.”

Thomas is a wealth of information when it comes to this region’s up-and-coming young golfers.

So I decided to pick his brain about what he saw this summer, just to get a feel of what is coming down the area’s golf pipeline.

The most encouraging sign might have come from COJGA’s youngest golfers.

Of the program’s 250 golfers — down from more than 300 last year — 57 were boys ages 11 or younger.

“We have a lot of kids in that age group, and that’s good,” says Thomas.

Particularly impressive to Thomas was COJGA’s group of boys playing in the 9- to 11-

year-old division.

Playing nine holes, Bend 10-year-old Jackson Murphy shot a 2-over-par 38 at last week’s tournament at Meadow Lakes Golf Course in Prineville, Thomas says. And 12-year-old Drew Watts, of Bend, also shot a 38 at a July tournament at Tokatee Golf Club in Blue River.

Thomas compares this year’s crop of COJGA youngsters to a group led by Bend’s Andrew Vijarro, who is currently playing his first season as a professional golfer, Bend’s Corey Schmidt, Redmond’s Alex Fitch, and Blue River’s Casey King, all of whom started playing COJGA tournaments in the early 2000s and later went on to play college golf.

“They were strong, and I think this is going to be the strongest group since then,” Thomas says.

Olivia Loberg, an 11-yearold from Bend, helped the youth movement with an 81 in the Meadow Lakes event and a win in the varsity girls division, which usually is domi-

nated by high school golfers.

But the youngest COJGA golfers have not been the only ones to shine.

Far from it.

In July, Dylan Cramer, a recent graduate of Bend’s Summit High School, shot COJGA’s low round of the summer with a 3-under-par 69 at Bend’s Tetherow Golf Club.

Later in the month Cole Ortega, who was Cramer’s teammate at Summit, shot a 2-under 70 at Tokatee.

Those just happen to be two of the most challenging golf courses on the COJGA schedule. And that is pretty impressive golf for two players who led the Storm to second place at the 2012 Class 5A boys state championship.

Declan Watts, a junior-tobe at Summit, led COJGA this summer with a stroke average of 71.5 strokes per round.

Summit’s Madison Odiorne, who won this year’s Class 5A state title as a freshman, continued her dominance of COJGA (she is a fivetime champion) by winning all three events in which she

has played. Other notables from the girls varsity include Bend golfers Heidi Froelich and Hailey Ostrom.

But the biggest surprise might have been Bend’s Mason Krieger, who began the season barely breaking 90 but ended the season last week with a 3-over 75, good enough to win the boys division for 14- and 15-year-olds at Meadow Lakes.

“He’s been working hard on his game,” Thomas says.

“That’s always kind of fun to see someone all of a sudden (improve that much). If you would have told me at the beginning of the season he’d shoot a 75, I’d have asked you what you’ve been drinking.”

Does Thomas see a surge of promising your golfers such as Krieger on COJGA’s horizon?

“I think so,” he says. “And it looks like it is building.”

If Thomas is right, there could be plenty to watch for from local junior golfers in the not-too-distant future.

MOTOR SPORTS ROUNDUP

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

USC building hype heading into 2012

Montoya wins pole at Watkins Glen The Associated Press WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Juan Pablo Montoya prefers running up front, and it grates on him when he doesn’t.

For the second straight week, he has no reason to beat himself up going into the race.

Montoya shattered the Sprint Cup qualifying record at Watkins Glen International on Saturday.

Montoya won the pole for today’s Finger Lakes 355 with a lap around the 11turn, 2.45-mile layout in 69.438 seconds at 127.020 mph.

Kyle Bush set the track record of 69.767 seconds at 126.421 mph a year ago.

“All my life I’ve raced to win,” Montoya said after notching his second straight pole in the series and ninth of his career. “The last couple of years have been really frustrating.”

Busch qualified second, also eclipsing the track record. Five-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson was third, followed by Brad Keselowski and Marcos Ambrose.

Ryan Newman, five-time Watkins Glen winner Tony Stewart, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Truex Jr. and Jamie McMurray rounded out the top 10.

Points leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. qualified 16th.

Denny Hamlin and Jeff Burton were in backup cars after wrecking their primary rides in practice on Friday, victims of a track made slippery by Patrick Long’s blown engine. Hamlin was 23rd and Burton 31st.

Montoya won the pole last week at Pocono and finished 20th. He has only two top-10 finishes this season and three DNFs, one of the main reasons he’s 21st in the points.

Still, he isn’t about to concede with five races remaining before the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

“The only thing you can do is make sure you’re working the hardest you can,” said Montoya, whose two Cup victories have come on the road courses at Sonoma and Watkins Glen.

“Maybe we still don’t have the fastest car, but if you can play the strategy right you might come up here with something and you might go on to Richmond (the last race before the postseason) with a chance of making the Chase. It would be shocking.”

Ambrose won last year’s race, besting Busch and Keselowski in a fender-banging, green-white-checkered finish. Busch is desperate for a victory this time. He’s fallen out of the top 10 in points and a win would vault him back into contention for one of the two wild cards.

The top 10 drivers in the points automatically qualify for NASCAR’s version of a postseason. Chase positions 11 and 12 are wild cards and are awarded to those drivers between 11th and 20th in points who have the most wins.

Also on Saturday: Edwards wins Nationwide race at Watkins Glen WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Carl Edwards won the NASCAR Nationwide race at Watkins Glen International.

Edwards, making his first series start of the season, beat Brad Keselowski on a two-lap dash to the checkered flag for his 38th career victory, breaking a tie with Kevin Harvick for third alltime. Pole-sitter Sam Hornish Jr. finished third, followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Ron Fellows. Kyle Busch, who started from the back of the field because his team made changes to his No. 54 Toyota, managed to finish sixth despite shifter and throttle problems.

Ohio State’s Urban Meyer talks to his team during practice Monday, in Columbus, Ohio. This season, 28 of the 124 schools that play in the Football Bowl Subdivision will have a new man being held responsible for the program, including Meyer, who won two national titles at Florida.

High risk means chance of high reward as 28 coaches start new jobs

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press

The job has never been more difficult. The rewards have never been greater.

As for job security, let’s just say it’s best to have a real estate agent on speed dial.

But even if it’s only for a few years, the chance to run a major college football program is an opportunity just about any coach would take.

“It’s tougher because we’re being held accountable and responsible for these young men 24 hours a day,” said South Florida’s Skip Holtz, the son of Hall of Fame coach Lou Holtz who is entering his 14th year as a head coach.

“We’re held to a higher standard academically. We’re being asked to win. And win now. We’re not quite as patient as we once were. So I think it’s changed a little bit. I don’t think it’s for the bad. I think if you’re the head coach, you should be held responsible for those things.”

This season, 28 of the 124 schools that play in the Football Bowl Subdivision will have a new man being held responsible for the program, including Penn State, where Bill O’Brien takes a job the late Joe Paterno held for 46 years and then lost in the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

That list also includes some big names returning to the sideline, such as Urban Meyer at Ohio State, Rich Rodriguez at Arizona and Mike Leach at Washington State.

Meyer’s six-year deal with the Buckeyes pays almost $4.5 million annually, the most among the 28 coaches starting new jobs. At the other end is former Notre Dame assistant Charley Molnar, who will make $250,000 to lead Massachusetts in its first season as an FBS program.

Former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is getting a second chance to lead a program at Kansas. Terry Bowden is finally back in major college football 19 years after he was pushed out at Auburn, though Akron is a long way from the Southeastern Conference.

Kevin Sumlin took his rising star from Houston to Texas A&M, where he’ll lead the Aggies into the SEC. Getting their first crack at leading a program are several well-regarded assistants, including Gus Malzahn at Arkansas State and Paul Chryst at Pittsburgh.

The 46-year-old Chryst, a longtime offensive coordinator who was previously at Wisconsin, said he was never in a rush to become a head coach.

“I never felt like I needed to get that to define me,” he said.

“You always want to prepare yourself if that opportunity ever presents itself. But at the same time (it) wasn’t going to create any stress in my life that I’m not getting it.

“Never wanted to be one just to be one.”

Kyle Flood takes over at Rutgers, where Greg Schiano left unexpectedly for the NFL just a few days before signing day in February. The 41-yearold Flood might not have got-

ten the job under less hectic circumstances, but he says he’s ready.

He’s been preparing for years.

“From a young age in this profession, I wanted to be a head football coach,” he said.

Several of the first-year coaches are still at a young age in the profession.

Memphis hired 36-year-old Justin Fuente away from TCU, where he was co-offensive coordinator, and Toledo promoted 32-year-old Matt Campbell from offensive coordinator to head coach after Tim Beckman left for Illinois.

Inexperience is not likely to buy extra time for the newbies. After last season, three coaches were fired (Larry Porter by Memphis, Rob Ianello

by Akron and Turner Gill by Kansas) after only two years on the job.

The top jobs at Ohio State and North Carolina, where former Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora ended up, opened because of NCAA violations committed by the previous regimes.

Outside of Penn State, Ar-

kansas had the most tumultuous coaching transition, with John L. Smith taking over after Bobby Petrino was caught lying about an affair with a member of the athletic staff.

Unlike most of the new coaches, Smith, the former Michigan State and Louisville coach, takes over a team primed to contend for a national championship.

Flood’s Scarlet Knights, who play at Arkansas in September, aren’t quite national title contenders, but they are among the favorites in the Big East.

While most new coaches have to rebuild, he only needs to guide a program that’s been running well.

“The key to it is, the last thing you want to do is try to be the prior guy because your personality and his might not be identical,” said Flood, who was Schiano’s assistant head coach for five years. “I admire Greg. Greg is a friend of mine and a mentor. But Greg and I don’t have the same personality. For me to try to be Greg Schiano would have never worked.”

Where Flood provides a smooth transition to a stable situation, Chryst will try to bring stability to Pittsburgh.

No program has gone through more coaching turmoil in the past few seasons.

Chryst is the Panthers’ third head coach in the past three seasons after Dave Wannstedt and Todd Graham, who left after less than a year on the job. That doesn’t include Mike Haywood, who was fired without ever coaching a game after a run-in with the law. Pitt has also used two interim coaches for its past two bowl games.

After all that, it would seem Chryst would take over with a little less pressure to win now.

But not necessarily. He knows it, but he has no complaints.

“We’re pretty lucky to be doing what we’re doing,” he said.

LOS ANGELES — The seats in Memorial Stadium were all but empty, the handful of observers dwarfed by the massive bowl. Clanging and ratcheting sounds from workers behind the east end zone echoed off the expanse of the stadium, at times drowning out the shouts of Southern Cal’s coaches and players below.

The rhythm stayed the same for about a half hour before Memorial Stadium exploded with sound: Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” blaring through the loudspeakers.

It didn’t play long, maybe a minute or so, but that brief burst provided a jolt of energy to the Trojans — and perhaps a glimpse of what USC’s opponents could be in for this season.

“With the preseason rankings and everything, everybody’s following the hype,” Trojans senior running back Curtis McNeal said on Friday.

“But we’re just focused on accomplishing our goals.”

Those goals have changed this season.

No more playing for pride, building toward the future.

A major bowl, a national championship, that’s what these Trojans are after.

It wasn’t the case the past two seasons.

Thanks to NCAA sanctions related to Heisman Trophywinning running back Reggie Bush, USC was banned from the postseason the past two seasons. The also Trojans lost 30 scholarships, forcing the coaching staff to get creative with the roster and in recruiting.

The roster issues are still there — USC isn’t as deep as some teams — but the postseason ban has ended.

And with the postseason a possibility again, not to mention Heisman-worthy quarterback Matt Barkley back for his senior season and the addition of running back Silas Redd, there’s an in-the-national-title-hunt buzz in Troy again.

“At USC, right now we kind of feel like we’re in a perfect storm with so many good things going,” USC coach Lane Kiffin said.

The Trojans held their first workout in full pads and full contact on Friday, lining up

LOS ANGELES — UCLA coach Jim Mora has chosen redshirt freshman Brett Hundley to be the Bruins’ starting quarterback.

The first-year coach made the announcement in a news release Friday.

Hundley was competing with Kevin Prince, Richard Brehaut and Jerry Neuheisel for the starting job. Prince, a senior, has made the bulk of the starts at quarterback for the Bruins over the past three seasons.

Former coach Rick Neuheisel recruited Hundley to UCLA out of Arizona. Hundley was one of the most highly touted quarterbacks in the country while at Chandler High School.

— The Associated Press

for a scrimmage in their first practice at the Coliseum since spring drills.

It certainly wasn’t perfect.

Barkley had trouble getting his timing down with star wideout Robert Woods, the running backs put the ball on the ground several times and players on both sides made numerous mistakes lining up.

Still, there were flashes of brilliance, glimpses into just how good these Trojans can be this season.

“We’ve got a ways to go until guys feel comfortable in a game-like setting,” Barkley said. “We’re still in kind of practice mode here, but being in the Coliseum we tried to up the tempo, making it more game-like, the speed of getting to the line, things like that. Execution-wise, we’ve got to get everyone lining up in the right spots, got to be more crisp.”

One player who has added to the excitement in Troy is Redd.

The star running back at Penn State, he was allowed to transfer without having to sit out a season in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. He’s only been with the team for a handful of practices, but has broken some long runs and picked up the offense quickly.

Kicking the can down the road

resident Obama has avoided the traditional Democratic reputation for foreign policy weakness by emulating his predecessor in one narrow but important respect.

Obama has not only continued George W. Bush’s global war on terror — whatever it is currently called — but has expanded its scope and lethality. The mommy party, in this instance, has become daddy with a drone and a hit list.

This has largely taken defense and foreign policy off the table. Team Romney is convinced that each day devoted to national security is a day not spent talking about the economy. And criticizing the slayer of bin Laden requires a more sophisticated critique than the presidential campaign — currently at the level of “Romney Hood” vs. “Obamaloney” — will bear.

But the war on terrorism does not exhaust America’s responsibilities.

In Syria, the civil war approaches its genocidal phase, as the regime shells villages and conducts mass executions. Russia has used the crisis to reassert its diplomatic influence.

America, in Duke Professor Peter Feaver’s description, has gone from “leading from behind” to “following from behind.” A strategy of stern denunciations, United Nations initiatives and minimal covert support to regime opponents has only succeeded in extending a savage conflict.

In Afghanistan, America conveys the impression of heading rapidly for the exits in 2014 — raising the serious possibility that the Afghan army will fracture, civil war will resume, and the Taliban will return to power. Responsible administration officials do their best to dispute this notion. “We are not even imagining abandoning Afghanistan,” says Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. But it doesn’t take much imagination for others: frightened shopkeepers and women in Kabul, hedging Pakistani security officials, determined Taliban warlords. They see the shipping containers packing and leaving.

In Iran, a strategy of tightened sanctions and nuclear talks remains fruitless. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta recently repainted America’s red line: “We will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently reaffirmed his objective: “Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime.”

Obama’s foreign policy team is sometimes praised for its pragmatism, realism, restraint and strategic modesty. “He followed the same approach in foreign policy he often did elsewhere, which was to detach himself from two opposing camps or schools of thought, sympathize with each and insist the differences between them were less than believed,” writes James Mann in “The Obamians.”

But there is a point when ideological detachment becomes inconsistency and irresolution. When caution — elevated to ideology — becomes paralysis. In many parts of the world, the Obama doctrine has become an exercise in kicking the can down the road — avoiding or downplaying problems that will only grow more complex and dangerous with time. There have been some admirable exceptions — Libya is certainly one — but Fouad Ajami describes the sum as a “foreign policy of strategic abdication.”

Mann’s book describes an Obama foreign policy team that holds a “distinctly more modest and downbeat outlook on America’s role in the world.” Its members seem deeply impressed by America’s limitations — its fiscal constraints and challenged primacy. These beliefs tend to be self-fulfilling. They make a virtue of ceded leadership. And these convictions are reinforced by a political calculation: Who wants to make tough, perilous foreign policy choices in the middle of an election season?

But Obama’s doctrine of deferred decisions will leave a series of risky endgames for whoever is elected in November.

• The lure of carbon credits leads some manufacturers to produce more harmful waste

By Elisabeth Rosenthal and Andrew W. Lehren • New York Times News Service

W

hen the United Nations wanted to help slow climate change, it established what seemed a sensible system. Greenhouse gases were rated based on their power to warm the atmosphere. The more dangerous the gas, the more manufacturers in developing nations

would be compensated as they reduced emissions. But where the U.N. saw environmental reform, some manufacturers of gases used in air-conditioning and refrigeration saw a business opportunity.

They quickly figured out that they could earn one carbon credit by eliminating one ton of carbon dioxide, but could earn more than 11,000 credits by simply destroying a ton of an obscure waste gas normally released in the manufacturing of a widely used coolant gas. That is because that byproduct has a huge global warming effect. The credits could be sold on international markets, earning tens of millions of dollars a year.

That incentive has driven plants in the developing world not only to in-

crease production of the coolant gas but also to keep it high — a huge problem because the coolant itself contributes to global warming and depletes the ozone layer. That coolant gas is being phased out under a global treaty, but the effort has been a struggle.

So since 2005 the 19 plants receiving the waste gas payments have profited handsomely from an unlikely business: churning out more harmful coolant gas so they can be paid to destroy its waste byproduct. The high output keeps the prices of the coolant gas irresistibly

low — discouraging air-conditioning companies from switching to less-damaging alternative gases. That means, critics say, that U.N. subsidies intended to improve the environment are instead creating their own damage.

The United Nations and the European Union, through new rules and an outright ban, are trying to undo this unintended bonanza. But the lucrative incentive has become so entrenched that efforts to roll it back are proving tricky, even risky.

n Tuesday, we urged Deschutes County officials to provide more answers on the proposed jail expansion. On Thursday morning, Deschutes County

Sheriff Larry Blanton was waiting in The Bulletin’s lobby with more answers.

His plan is to sell bonds to add 144 needed jail beds to the 228 the county jail has now.

Blanton doesn’t know yet what the total price will be. He did spell out Thursday how he was going to pay for it.

Half will come out of his budget.

Half will come out of the county budget.

His share would come from money in his budget allocated to rent jail beds. Right now, that figure is $156,000. He said it could climb to about $250,000. He may look for some other areas to take money from to get his share up to $300,000 a year.

The county’s share would be from money set aside for capital improvement projects, a matching $300,000 a year. Put those two together and there is about $600,000 available to pay the debt service for construction of the expansion.

That’s without any new taxes, as Blanton likes to highlight.

OK. But Blanton’s claim of no

new taxes only applies to construction of the expansion. The sheriff said that there is a very real possibility that he will have to raise taxes in his two taxing districts to pay for other increasing costs and a handful of additional jail staff for the expansion.

We endorsed the $44 million jail bond in 2010. Voters rejected it, but the need did not go away.

Deschutes County is not matrixing prisoners, but it’s close. Judges sometimes have to make sentencing decisions knowing there are only a few beds left in the jail.

The county is an outstanding place to live now. It won’t be if crimes don’t have consequences.

There are other pluses to Blanton’s new plan. Construction costs and bond rates are currently low.

It’s also hard not to appreciate the effort to avoid new taxes, at least for construction.

From what we know, county officials are on the right track.

Simon Says ... you’re on your way to college

W

ant to increase your preschool child’s chances of completing college? You may be better off playing a game of Simon Says than doing math and reading projects.

That’s because 4-year-olds’ attention spans are better predictors of college graduation by age 25 than their reading and math skills, according to a new study by Oregon State University Associate Professor Megan McClelland and colleagues.

The results reinforce the value and importance of Oregon’s new emphasis on early childhood education and are already influencing its development.

It seems like common sense that children who can stick with a task will achieve better. But McClelland said there’s been a big focus in recent years on academic training in the pre-school years, often involving high levels of media watching that can promote short attention spans. In addition, at-risk children living in chaotic environments often have short attention spans.

McClelland’s study, recently published in the Early Childhood Research Quarterly, looked at 430 youngsters and found that those who could pay attention, follow directions and complete a task were 50 percent more likely to complete college than those who lacked those social skills.

In fact, high-attention ability at age 4 was a better predictor of

college graduation than math and reading scores at various ages in between.

The good news is that children can be taught to pay attention and stick with a task. McClelland said a earlier study showed that an eight-week program of music and movement activities significantly improved those skills.

For example, the children played Simon Says and then played it again with the rules reversed, and then again with a new set of rules. They had fun, she said, while having to pay attention and stick with the game. Such programs can be used in preschool settings and taught in parenting classes.

These issues are central to the restructuring of early childhood services now in progress as part of Gov. John Kitzhaber’s plan to improve education in Oregon.

McClelland helped review kindergarten readiness assessments that will provide critical data to inform that process, and the state chose assessments that examine both academic and social skills such as attention span.

The state’s focus on early childhood education is based on a solid body of research showing the importance of the earliest years of life in a student’s chance for academic and life success. Research like McClelland’s, although it needs further confirmation, can help assure that those efforts are effective.

My Nickel’s Worth Give Buehler your vote for secretary of state The unfunded liabilities for the Oregon state retirement system amount to nearly $16 billion. That is money committed to future retirees that the state does not have.

The system provides such things as a tax benefit for retirees who live out of state. That is, they receive an additional benefit equal to the amount of their Oregon taxes even though they live in another state and do not pay Oregon taxes.

Currently, an employee may retire, start collecting PERS and then return to his or her old job to work on a contract basis.

Legislators who make decisions regarding PERS benefits, who are also employed by a PERS contributing employer, can participate in PERS, a clear conflict of interest.

Moreover, judges who currently participate in the system and decide PERS cases also have a conflict of interest.

PERS needs to be reformed and Oregon needs leaders who will no longer allow the status quo to continue. Unlike his opponent, who has done nothing toward reforming the PERS system, Knute Buehler believes that the system needs to be reformed.

Knute Buehler needs your vote for secretary of state so that he can use his position to introduce and advocate for needed reforms of the PERS system.

Obama has a proven record on foreign policy One of the most important responsibilities of any United States

Obama’s intelligent approach in the area of foreign affairs rests on the unique ability of his leadership to pay close attention to specific circumstances in troubled areas worldwide and be flexible enough to listen, learn and improvise accordingly. president is foreign policy, and President Barack Obama has excelled in this arena.

With the highly savvy team of policy makers he selected, the Obama administration has been able to galvanize U.S. resources to deal with tricky situations worldwide. Eliminating Osama bin Laden and winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are cases in point.

Through other operations, such as aiding Libya, the Obama administration has made it clear that democracy is alive and well, and human rights will continue to be championed by the U.S. Due to his capable leadership, the world of foreign affairs is in better shape than it has been in a long time. No easy job, to say the least.

Obama’s intelligent approach in the area of foreign affairs rests on the unique ability of his leadership to pay close attention to specific circumstances in troubled areas worldwide and be flexible enough to listen, learn and improvise accordingly. Such adaptability pro-

vides a powerful approach rarely employed in past administrations.

While Mitt Romney’s awkward gaffes on his recent foreign relations tour showed a lack of awareness of cultural subtleties, Obama has actually addressed difficult foreign issues extremely successfully.

Truth be told, Romney puts forth few specifics on foreign policy and struggles to find any big disagreements with what the Obama administration has accomplished in the critically important area of foreign affairs.

Don’t leave children or pets in hot cars Recently, I met some friends for lunch at a restaurant in east Bend.

As we were going in, I noticed a car parked in the sun with a dog left in the car. Two windows were cracked less than an inch.

I told a gal across the counter and also told her manager. After about 20 minutes, I started asking other customers if that was their car. I then saw the owners of the dog finally get into their car.

The gal at the counter went out to talk to the dog owner and he started yelling at her. I went out to help when he started coming in, presumably to complain to the manager. The dog owner then got into my face when I told him I was the one to complain and please don’t yell at the employee.

You cannot rationalize leaving a dog in a closed-up, hot car! Haven’t you noticed that kids and pets are dying because people are clueless?

Implement Merkley’s plan for underwater homeowners

By Uriah King and Angela Martin ver the last four years, hundreds of thousands of Oregonians have seen their home values drop precipitously. For more than 100,000 Oregon homeowners, this means that their homes are now worth less than what they owe on the mortgage. These homeowners are paying the price for a crisis that came about through no fault of their own.

Because they are underwater, they can’t sell, move or refinance. This paralysis doesn’t only hurt individual families, it hurts Oregon’s economy.

One of the major drags on the recovery has been weak consumer spending, but families trapped into higher payments don’t have much spare change to spend shopping or going out to eat.

Private lenders are understandably reluctant to offer a new mortgage on

O

underwater properties — not because the borrowers are risky, but because the property is risky. If the house should go into foreclosure (because of death, divorce or other life event), the lender would lose money, since it wouldn’t be possible to recoup the loss by selling the house.

A new proposal by Oregon’s Sen. Jeff Merkley would remedy this situation by offering qualified families a fair chance to refinance their home.

Merkley’s innovative plan would allow nearly all underwater homeowners to refinance into lower rates, at no cost to the taxpayer. While other programs are available to families who are struggling with their payments, this option would be specifically targeted at homeowners who are current on their loan and have a good payment record.

The way it would work is for

IN MY VIEW the government to issue very lowinterest bonds, similar to Treasury bonds, and then use the money to refinance homeowners into 4 percent or 5 percent mortgages. The difference in interest rates — 2 percent paid back to the bond holders, versus 4 to 5 percent coming in from the mortgages — pays for the program.

Merkley, impressively, has modeled the program extensively, and even under very conservative assumptions it’s likely that it would actually turn a profit for taxpayers. And this is without even counting the benefits that a faster recovery would bring to our economy and our Treasury.

There are two additional points that add to the plan’s logic and should help to build bipartisan support: One,

the trust financing the loans would only exist to help through this crisis — so enacting the plan does not require the creation of a new, permanent government institution.

The second point is that all homeowners would be treated equally, removing the guesswork and questions of “moral hazard� that have plagued existing refinance programs. Even homeowners who are not underwater could take advantage of the plan if they so choose.

There is widespread agreement that the federal government did too little at the beginning of the housing crisis, but unless we act now, there’s still significant damage ahead. According to a November 2011 report by the Center for Responsible Lending, we are only halfway through the foreclosure crisis. At that time, 3.6 million households were at serious risk of los-

ing their homes. And the report noted that those struggling households were only a subset of the likely foreclosures ahead. Homeowners underwater are among the most vulnerable.

There’s no reason to let Oregon homeowners keep drowning when low-risk, low-cost loans could be available. Merkley’s plan could likely be implemented almost immediately on a pilot basis in states like Oregon. Such a plan is desperately needed. The financial crisis began in the housing market, and that market must be strong again if we are to have a full economic recovery. Let’s move forward without delay and restore the dream of home ownership for thousands of Oregonians. — Uriah King is vice president of state policy at the Center for Responsible Lending.

A double standard on values C

hicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel recently said of the Chickfil-A fast-food franchise that “Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago’s values.” Why? Because Chickfil-A CEO Dan Cathy is on record as being opposed to gay marriage — as is close to half the U.S. population, according to polls. The mayors of Boston and San Francisco also suggested that the company isn’t welcome in their cities.

Oddly, none of these public officials have lectured President Barack Obama to keep clear of their cities. Yet until recently, Obama was likewise on record as opposing gay marriage. Why the exemption?

Nor have the mayors in question disinvited any black churches from their cities. Yet some pastors in churches with black congregations have been quite loud in their denunciations of gay marriage. Fundamentalist Islamic mosques routinely disparage homosexuals, often publicly so in their literature. Is there something about white Christian males that makes their opposition to gay marriage different from that of their black or Muslim counterparts?

Even as Emanuel warned Cathy that his company did not reflect “Chicago values,” his own city remains among the most murderous in the world. This year, Chicago youth have killed more Americans than have the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Unable to stop the carnage, a desperate Emanuel welcomed in Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan to

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON help quell the mostly black-on-black violence, even though the latter has a long record of racist and anti-Semitic tirades. Is the Chick-fil-A CEO a greater danger to Chicago than guntoting gangs, or more illiberal than the racist Farrakhan?

Politics — not just race or religion — is also a key to the paradoxical double standard. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., just slandered Nuclear Regulatory Commission member Bill Magwood, an African-American, as “one of the most unethical, prevaricating, incompetent people I’ve dealt with.”

Reid, furious with Magwood because of his support for the Yucca Mountain nuclear repository in Reid’s state, also called Magwood a “treacherous, miserable liar,” “a first-class rat” and a “s--t stirrer.”

In 2008, Reid condescendingly attributed presidential candidate Obama’s success to the fact that he was “light-skinned” and spoke “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

More recently, the crude Reid, in McCarthyesque fashion, claimed that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney had not paid income taxes for 10 years — based on a rumor that an anonymous source supposedly had passed on to him.

“His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son,” Reid said of the late George Romney, Mitt’s father.

Reid has demonstrated that he is both vulgar and illiberal, but there are no calls for him to vacate his post.

That exemption was not extended to an earlier counterpart, Sen. Trent Lott, D-Miss.. Lott, in similarly illiberal and crass fashion, said at Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday party in 2002 that America would have avoided “all these problems over all these years” if Thurmond had been elected president in 1948. Lott was pressured by both the Republican Party and the media to step down, and he did so in shame.

There is a common theme here.

Our self-appointed priests of fairness from time to time freely commit sins of intolerance. But don’t dare hold them to the same sort of accountability to which they hold other, less progressive Americans, whose similarly dumb remarks are not gaffes but rather windows into their prejudicial souls.

We must make allowances for the supposed Biblical conservatism of some black pastors in a way we cannot for the white, Christian CEO of Chick-fil-A. Farrakhan’s hatred cannot possibly earn him ostracism. We cannot extend the anger at evangelical Christians for their incorrect attitudes toward feminism and homosexuality to the Muslims who often share similar views.

Such selectivity is untenable.

Classical Western liberalism was predicated on judging people as individuals — and on their merit and performance — rather than collectively as identity groups identified by gender, race and religion.

Using illiberal means to advance supposedly liberal ends results not just in hypocrisy and cynicism, but in the current disaster of “Chicago values.”

Politically correct exemption is doomed, because who can sort out the conflicting agendas of various identity groups? Who certifies who’s really black, brown or white in a multiracial, intermarried America — Barack Obama or Elizabeth Warren? Who deserves how much compensation for which particular past oppression?

Can black pastors who oppose gay marriage be judged prejudicial?

Is the Asian-American who opposes illegal immigration subject to the same charge of nativism leveled at so-called whites? Can Harry Reid be judged a bigot and McCarthyite if he claims he’s liberal?

A simple antidote to multiculturalism and political correctness is to evaluate all Americans on their actual behavior, regardless of their politics, race, gender or religion — in other words, a return to the ancient liberal idea that one common culture treats all sorts of different people absolutely the same.

New York Times News Service

I

n the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, The New York Times famously published a number of stories regurgitating the Bush administration hype about Saddam Hussein’s supposed arsenal of mass destruction. A few journalists elsewhere — notably Jonathan Landay and Warren Strobel, then of the Knight Ridder newspapers — dug deeper, discovered contrary intelligence, and challenged the official line. Later, The Times also published some excellent work on how an administration eager to justify its decision to go to war cherry-picked the intelligence to make its case.

The Times has owned up to — and, we pray, learned from — the things we got wrong. But this is a good time to look a little harder at the journalists who got it right. How did they come up with the evidence to refute the version embraced by the president, by most officials in both parties and by a lot of the mainstream media?

They got it from government officials with access to classified information, who risked their jobs to confide the truth to journalists. Critics call these “leaks,” although such stories hardly ever spill out unbidden; they are painstakingly assembled by teasing out bits of information, triangulating, correcting, testing, confirming. I’d call them a public service.

Washington is currently going a little nuts on the subject of leaks.

The Obama administration, which has, without really setting out to do so, already surpassed all previous administrations in its prosecution of leakers, has begun new investigations into disclosures by The Times, Newsweek, The Associated Press and others. Congress has mandated surveillance systems that make it easier to identify leakers and to prevent unauthorized downloads of classified material.

But that has not quieted the hysteria. Republicans are accusing the FBI of insufficient zeal and demanding a special prosecutor. Democrats, typically worried about being perceived as soft on national security, have tried to out-deplore the Republicans. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., introduced a bill the other day that, among other things, would forbid background briefings on intelligence matters by anyone except an agency’s director, deputy director or public-affairs spin doctors — thus cutting out the officers with firsthand knowledge and silencing those who question the party line. It should be dubbed the Keep Americans in the Dark Act. Is this latest outbreak of leak panic just another mood swing? Or is something else going on?

There is a plausible case that more secrets are spilling these days. In part that is because so much material is automatically, needlessly classified that officials tend not to take classification

Trafficking in secrets Some of the current wailing is just politics as usual, or what has become usual in the pit bull arena of the modern campaign. Mitt Romney, desperate for a way to turn President Barack Obama’s takedown of Osama bin Laden into a liability, has professed to be shocked and outraged that a president or his circle might use classified information to burnish the image of the commander in chief. The Republican nominee-to-be points to stories about Obama’s handling of the bin Laden raid, his oversight of a terrorist kill list and the administration’s cyberattacks on Iran as “contemptible” breaches of national security.

Romney certainly knows something about keeping secrets; there have been no leaks so far of his tax returns, the names of his big-money bundlers, the records of his work as governor and Olympics czar or, for that matter, his economic plan.

But his indignation, if it is not feigned, is a little naïve. One of the more insightful watchers of Washington culture had this to say on how things work in the world of information-as-power: “Presidents make ‘secret’ decisions only to reveal them for the purposes of frightening an adversary nation, wooing a friendly electorate, protecting their reputations. The military services conduct ‘secret’ research in weaponry only to reveal it for the purpose of enhancing their budgets, appearing superior or inferior to a foreign army, gaining the vote of a congressman or the favor of a contractor. The Navy uses secret infor-

mation to run down the weaponry of the Air Force. The Army passes on secret information to prove its superiority to the Marine Corps. High officials of the government reveal secrets in the search for support of their policies, or to help sabotage the plans and policies of rival departments. Middlerank officials of government reveal secrets so as to attract the attention of their superiors or to lobby against the orders of those superiors.”

That was Max Frankel, then the Washington bureau chief of The New York Times, in a 1971 deposition defending the paper’s publication of the secret Vietnam War history called the Pentagon Papers. Frankel acknowledged the self-serving nature of these transactions — on both sides — but concluded that this “cooperative, competitive, antagonistic and arcane relationship,” as he called it, was essential to the working of democracy.

Without this trafficking in secrets, he said, “there could be no adequate diplomatic, military and political reporting of the kind our people take for granted, either abroad or in Washington, and there could be no mature system of communication between the government and the people.”

Under attack I’m prepared to believe that unauthorized disclosure to the press of classified information has occasionally had dire consequences, though clear-cut examples of that are scarce.

More often, what “leaks” have done is inform Americans about what is being done in their name — the good (successful targeting of militants, cyberdisruption of Iran’s nuclear program) and the not so good (warrantless eavesdropping, torture). Raise a hand if you’d really prefer not to know those things.

Today, the notion of an establishment press is, to say the least, under siege. News comes from a dizzying number of directions. We know from the WikiLeaks case that among the

A

legions of Internet aggregators and disseminators are at least a few who would feel no compunction about disclosing life-threatening information if they got their hands on it.

So far, though, the secrets that set Washington on edge still tend to come from reporters who have spent years developing relationships with sources, mainstream reporters like Landay and Strobel, or like David Sanger of The Times and Daniel Klaidman of Newsweek, who are prominent among the current targets of the leak police.

They operate without security clearances or subpoena powers.

They work, rather, with sources who may be scared, who probably know only part of the story, who may have their own agendas. Reporting secret information with confidence usually entails a multitude of sources, ideally backed by documentary evidence.

So, while the mainstream press might not enjoy the hegemony it held before the Internet, most of what the country knows about the secret activities of its government it knows thanks to news organizations that still take their responsibilities seriously: reporters who check to make sure that the double agent is safe before they publish the story.

Unfortunately, we live in a time of zero-sum politics, where trust is scarce and compromise is perilous, and where the hamster-wheel news cycle puts no special value on reflection.

In a saner Washington, a reasonable effort to control truly harmful leaks might be balanced by an equally serious effort to roll back excessive classification, so that we could have a more informed debate about drones and cyberwarfare and kill lists. In that Washington, we could worry a little less about where the stories came from, and a little more about what’s in them.

as seriously. I suspect another factor is the enthusiasm with which senior officials contribute their notes and self-serving recollections for behindthe-scenes books, setting a permissive example for those farther down the official ladder. (The top officials thus assure their place in history; it’s the juniors who get prosecuted.)

‘Average’ isn’t good enough big mismatch exists today between how U.S. CEOs look at the world and how many American politicians and parents look at the world — and it may be preventing us from taking our education challenge as seriously as we must.

For many politicians, “outsourcing” is a four-letter word because it involves jobs leaving “here” and going “there.”

But for many CEOs, outsourcing is over. In today’s seamlessly connected world, there is no “out” and no “in” anymore. There is only the “good,” “better” and “best” places to get work done, and if they don’t tap into the best, most cost-efficient venue, wherever that is, their competition will.

For politicians, it’s all about “made in America,” but, for CEOs, it is increasingly about “made in the world” — a world where more and more products are now imagined everywhere, designed everywhere, manufactured everywhere and sold everywhere.

American politicians are still citizens of our states and cities, while CEOs are increasingly citizens of the world, with mixed loyalties. For politicians, all their customers are here; for CEOs, 90 percent of their new customers are abroad. The credo of the politician today is: “Why are you not hiring more people here?” The credo of the CEO today is: “You only hire someone — anywhere — if you absolutely have to,” if a smarter machine, robot or computer program is not available.

Yes, this is a simplification, but the trend is accurate. The trend is that for more and more jobs, average is over. Thanks to the merger of, and advances in, globalization and the information technology revolution, every boss now has cheaper, easier access to more above-average software, automation, robotics, cheap labor and cheap genius than ever before. So just doing a job in an average way will not return an average lifestyle any longer.

There is no good job today that does not require more and better education to get it, hold it or advance in it.

Which is why it is disturbing when more studies show that American K12 schools continue to lag behind other major industrialized countries on the international education tests. Like politicians, too many parents think if their kid’s school is doing better than the one next door, they’re fine.

Well, a dose of reality is on the way thanks to Andreas Schleicher and his team at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which coordinates the Program for International Student Assessment, known as the PISA test. Every three years, the OECD has been giving the PISA test to a sample of 15-year-olds, now in 70 countries, to evaluate reading, math and science skills.

The U.S. does not stand out. It’s just average, but many parents are sure their kid is above average. With help from several foundations in the U.S., Schleicher has just finished a pilot study of 100 American schools to enable principals, teachers and parents to see not just how America stacks up against China, but how their own school stacks up against similar schools in the best-educated countries, like Finland and Singapore.

“The entry ticket to the middle class today is a postsecondary education of some kind,” but too many kids are not coming out of K-12 prepared for that, and too many parents don’t get it, says Jon Schnur, the chairman of America Achieves, which is partnering with the OECD on this project.

“Imagine, in a few years, you could sign onto a website and see this is how my school compares with a similar school anywhere in the world,” says Schleicher. “And then you take this information to your local superintendent and ask: ‘Why are we not doing as well as schools in China or Finland?’”

Schleicher’s team is assessing all their test results — and socioeconomic profiles of each school — to make sure they have a proper data set for making global comparisons. They hope to have the comparison platform available early next year.

Says Schleicher: “If parents do not know, they will not demand, as consumers, a high quality of educational service. They will just say, ‘The school my kids are going to is as good as the school I went to.’ ” If this comparison platform can be built at this microscale, he says, it could “lead to empowerment at the really decisive level” of parents, principals and teachers demanding something better.

Fiction from Fitzgerald wafts in from 1936

By David L. Ulin Los Angeles Times

The New Yorker last week printed and posted on its website (www.new yorker.com) a previously unpublished piece of fiction

by F. Scott Fitzgerald called “Thank You for the Light.”

It’s the story of “a pretty, somewhat faded woman of forty” named Mrs. Hanson, “who sold corsets and girdles, travelling out of Chicago” and for whom life’s greatest pleasure comes in the form of a cigarette.

“Smoking meant a lot to her sometimes,” Fitzgerald tells us. “She worked very hard and it had some ability to rest and relax her psychologically. She was a widow and she had no close relatives to write to in the evenings, and more than one moving picture a week hurt her eyes, so smoking had come to be an important punctuation mark in the long sentence of a day on the road.”

It’s not hard to see why “Thank You for the Light,” which Fitzgerald wrote in 1936, was never published until now. At less than 1,200 words, this is a glancing tale, more of a sketch than a story, dating from around the same time as the essay “The Crack-Up,” in which the author details his state of breakdown and despair.

“Thank You for the Light” does come with a clever twist. Prevented from smoking by a variety of “hatchedfaced” clients “who did not like other people’s self-indulgence,” Mrs. Hanson finds herself in a church where “(i)n her imagination, the Virgin came down, like in the play ‘The Miracle,’ and took her place and sold corsets and girdles for her and was tired, just as she was.”

I don’t want to give away the ending, but let’s just say there’s an unexpected benediction of a kind. And in that moment, we’re reminded that, even at his slightest, Fitzgerald was a deft creator, able to evoke the most mundane transformations with a graceful sense of style.

Israeli scholar completes his mission to ‘fix’ Bible • His self-appointed task of correcting all known textual errors took 30 years

“The Coldest War”

By Ian Tregillis (Tor, $25.99)

By Jim Higgins Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

By Aron Heller The Associated Press

RAMAT GAN, Israel — For the past 30 years, Israeli Judaic scholar Menachem Cohen has been on a mission of biblical proportions: Correcting all known textual errors in Jewish scripture to produce a truly definitive edition of the Old Testament.

His edits, focusing primarily on grammatical blemishes and an intricate set of biblical symbols, mark the first major overhaul of the Hebrew Bible in nearly 500 years.

Poring over thousands of medieval manuscripts, the 84year-old Cohen identified 1,500 inaccuracies in the Hebrew language texts that have been corrected in his completed 21volume set. The final chapter is set to be published next year.

The massive project highlights how Judaism venerates each tiny biblical calligraphic notation as a way of ensuring that communities around the world use precisely the same version of the holy book.

According to Jewish law, a Torah scroll is considered void if even a single letter is incorrect or misplaced. Cohen does not call for changes in the writing of the sacred Torah scrolls used in Jewish rites, which would likely set off a firestorm of objection and criticism. Instead, he is aiming for accuracy in versions used for study by the Hebrew-reading masses.

For the people of the book, Cohen said, there was no higher calling. “The people of Israel took upon themselves, at least in theory, one version of the Bible, down to its last letter,” Cohen said, in his office at BarIlan University near Tel Aviv.

The last man to undertake the challenge was Jacob BenHayim, who published the Mikraot Gedolot, or Great Scriptures, in Venice in 1525.

His version, which unified the religion’s varying texts and commentaries under a single umbrella, has remained the standard for generations, appearing to this day on bookshelves of observant Jews the world over.

Since Ben-Hayim had to rely on inferior manuscripts and commentaries, numerous inaccuracies crept in and were magnified in subsequent editions.

The errors have no bearing on the Bible’s stories and alter nothing in its meaning. Instead, for example, in some places the

Alternative history tale continues to impress

Dan Balilty / The Associated Press

Biblical scholar Menachem Cohen, shown at the library of Bar Ilan University, outside Tel Aviv, Israel, has spent the past 30 years correcting all the textual errors in Jewish scripture to produce a definitive edition of the Old Testament.

“It was amazing to me that for 500 years, people didn’t sense the errors. They just assumed that everything was fine, but in practice everything was not fine.”

— Menachem Cohen

markers used to denote vowels in Hebrew are incorrect; or a letter in a word may be wrong, often the result of a centuries old transcription error. Some of the fixes are in the notations used for cantillation, the text’s ritual chants.

Most of the errors Cohen found were in the final two thirds of the Hebrew Bible and not in the sacred Torah scrolls, since they do not include vowel markings or cantillation notations.

Cohen said unity and accuracy were of particular importance to distinguish the sacred Jewish text from that used by those sects that broke away from Judaism, namely Christians and Samaritans.

To achieve his goal, Cohen relied primarily on the Aleppo Codex, the 1,000-year-old parchment text considered to be the most accurate copy of the Bible.

For centuries it was guarded in a grotto in the great synagogue of Aleppo, Syria, out of reach of most scholars like Ben-Hayim. In 1947, a Syrian mob burned the synagogue, and the Codex briefly disappeared before most of it was smuggled into Israel a decade later.

Now digitized, the Codex, also known as the Crown, provided Cohen with a template from which to work. But

because about a third of the Codex — nearly 200 pages — remains missing, Cohen had to recreate the five books of Moses based on trends he observed in the Codex as well as from other sources, such as the 11th-century Leningrad Codex, considered the secondmost authoritative version of the Jewish Bible.

Cohen also included the most comprehensive commentaries available, most notably that of 11th-century Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaki, known as Rashi.

The result is the completion of Ben-Hayim’s work.

“It was amazing to me that for 500 years, people didn’t sense the errors,” said Cohen, who wears a knitted skullcap and a gray goatee. “They just assumed that everything was fine, but in practice everything was not fine.”

He’s not the only scholar to devote decades to the task.

In 1976, Rabbi Mordechai Breuer published a version of the Torah based mainly on the Aleppo Codex. The Hebrew University Bible Project in Jerusalem has also been work-

ing on a scientific edition of the Hebrew Bible, but theirs is directed toward scholars, while Cohen’s output is aimed at wider consumption.

Rafael Zer, the project’s editorial coordinator, called Cohen’s work “quasi-scientific” because it presents a final product and does not provide the reader a way of seeing how it was reached.

He credits Cohen for bringing an exact biblical text to the general public but said it “comes at the expense of absolute accuracy and an absolute scientific edition.”

With the assistance of his son Shmuel, a computer programmer, Cohen launched a digital version he hopes will become a benchmark of the Israeli education system. He said his ultimate goal was to “correct the past and prepare for the future.”

As a former teacher, Cohen said he took particular pride in a sophisticated search engine that allows even novices to explore his work with ease. He called computers a “third revolution” to affect Jewish scripture, following the shift from scrolls to bound books and the advent of the printing press.

“I want the Bible to be userfriendly,” said Cohen, a grandfather of eight. “Today, we can create sources of information and searches that allow you to get an answer to everything you are wondering.”

With “The Coldest War,” Ian Tregillis continues an impressive fantasy/alternative-history trilogy he began with “Bitter Seeds.”

The first novel, set in Britain’s darkest hours of World War II, pitted British warlocks, calling on dark otherworldly forces, against young Nazi Ubermenschen, whose X-men-like superpowers are fueled by battery power fed directly into their brains.

Now it’s 1963. The Russia ns rule everything east of Paris.

T hey’ve reverse engineered the vanquished Nazis’ Gutterelektron devices, and it seems only a matter of time before they’ll invade a battered Britain.

However, Klaus and Gretel, a brother-sister pair and two of the surviving German enhanced warriors, escape their Russian imprisonment and head toward London.

Klaus, who can render all or part of himself invisible, has been growing in awareness, even in conscience, while in confinement. He’s also become repulsed by his sister, a precog with a longrange plan whose steps she reveals to others only when she needs them to know.

To defeat the Nazis, the British warlocks bargained with the Eidolons, horrific forces who loathe human beings and demand a bloody payment for each deed. The British sacrificed many just to survive; now it seems the chickens are coming home to roost. Warlocks are dying mysteriously, in a fashion that suggests a traitor inside the secret Milkweed network is revealing their identities.

Tregillis’ breathtaking set pieces include an attempted ambush of an invisible assassin and the rescue of a savant from an enemy stronghold. Some of the seeds he planted in the first novel flower bitterly and impressively in this one.

Book chronicles the tough task of putting a price on tragedy “Who Gets What: Fair Compensation after Tragedy and Financial Upheaval”

By Kenneth Feinberg (Public-Affairs, 240 pgs., $26.99)

By Manuel Roig-Franzia The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Kenneth Feinberg built a soundproof room at his Bethesda, Md., home. He’ll sit there for hours, just listening to the horns and the strings, the sopranos and the basso profundos.

He can choose from 9,000 recordings, amassed over his long, long love affair with opera. Whichever one he selects, he likes to turn the volume up loud. The room is sufficiently padded to keep the sounds inside from leaking out.

But the thing about padded rooms is that they also keep the sounds outside the door from leaking in. If anyone in America can be excused for sealing off the outside world from time to time, it would be this 66-year-old Boston transplant.

For more than a decade, Feinberg has been the national Great Decider, a man who guzzles human tragedy or aggregates human greed, then processes it all into dollars and cents.

A lawyer by trade, Feinberg decided how the victims of the Sept. 11, 2011, terrorist attacks would be compensated, and he parceled out donations for the dead and wounded in the Virginia Tech massacre.

He sorted through the wreckage wrought by Wall Street’s credit-default swappers and the environmental destruction visited upon the Gulf of Mexico by BP. Feinberg details all those dramas in a clearly written and emotionally contained new book that he titled: “Who Gets What: Fair Compensation After Tragedy and Financial Upheaval.” But the book could just as easily have been called: “If you think you can do better, be my guest!”

“Here’s the keys. You want to do it? You do it,” Feinberg says to me one afternoon at his office in the Willard building, a few steps from the White House.

Feinberg understands more than anyone that he does work few would want to undertake: quantifying the value of a lost limb vs. the value of a lost life or telling a widow that even though her husband was a lovely man who volunteered at the Lions Club, he’s worth only a fraction of what she needs.

It’s all numbers, Feinberg says, “not rocket science.” I ask Feinberg to consider a hypothetical scenario: Who would be worth more, Bernie Madoff or Mother Teresa? He hesitates not at all: Madoff.

From there, he launches into the predicted lament by Moth-

Matt McClain / The Washington Post

In his new book, Kenneth Feinberg details his years spent deciding compensation after the Sept. 11 attacks and other events.

er Teresa’s representative: What about her reputation?

What about her unparalleled contributions? Isn’t that worth something, say $20 million?

Nope.

Feinberg talks over the strains of an opera pouring out of speakers in his long, spacious office, where the shelves nearly sag under the weight of framed congratulatory letters and the walls are lined with glowing newspaper profiles. In the kaleidoscope of Feinbergian proximity to power, there are too many marquee names to chronicle here. He hasn’t even had time to get around to framing a photo of him with the guy who lives down the street — Feinberg’s grip-and-grin with President Barack Obama curls into itself, one edge sliding into a gap in the shelf.

Feinberg’s intonations evoke the Massachusetts of his youth, so when he says a word such as half, it comes out as “hoff.” He learned the ways of Washington as a staffer in the 1970s for Sen. Edward Kennedy, sharing a cramped space with fellow future legal stars David Boies, of Bush v. Gore fame, and Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.

Feinberg and Breyer remain particularly close, at times talking on a daily basis. They, along with Georgetown law professor and former Federal Trade Commission chairman

Robert Pitofsky, make up what is surely one of the legal world’s most high-powered regular lunch bunches.

Kennedy was a friend for life, too, and Feinberg visited the legendary senator at his Massachusetts retreat in the months before his death. “You might go off the payroll, but you were always a Kennedy employee,” Feinberg says.

Feinberg laid the groundwork for his unusual specialty practice under the mentorship of Jack Weinstein, a New York federal judge who appointed him as a special master in 1984 to dole out the $180 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit brought by veterans exposed to the defoliant Agent Orange.

Weinstein arrived at the novel idea of holding hearings across the country to decide who would get paid. Feinberg accompanied him and writes that he marveled at the veterans who “pleaded for money — not for themselves, but for their brothers in arms.”

Feinberg’s Agent Orange experience made him a logical choice to oversee the Sept.

11 compensation fund, a task that made him a household name as he handed out more than $7 billion to victims and their families from a fund established by Congress and the George W. Bush administration. He was generally lauded as a modern-day Solo-

Three cheers for the dark melodrama of ‘Dare Me’ “Dare Me”

By Megan Abbott (Reagan Arthur Books/ Little, Brown, $24.99)

By Marion Winik Newsday

It’s an old-school B-movie setup, a girl gang seething with crushes, rivalries and vendettas; a cold, beautiful alpha running her ring of pretties with an iron hand.

Transport this viper’s nest of feminine evil to a 21st-century high school girls’ locker room, add text messages and hoodies and extreme cheerleading stunts, and you’ve got Megan Abbott’s “Dare Me,” a dark novel that will appeal to both teen readers and their mothers, the bloodthirsty and dramahungry market catered to by TV’s “Pretty Little Liars.” The author says she crossed “Lord of the Flies” with “Richard III”; readers are calling the result “ ‘Fight Club’ for girls.”

Abbott’s 16-year-old narrator, Addy Hanlon, has long played second fiddle to her best friend, cheer captain Beth

Cassidy. Beth’s rule over Addy and the rest of the squad is overthrown when their goodole-girl coach moves away and is replaced by the taut, ultraintense Colette French.

French surveys the situation with disgust.

She takes away the girls’ cellphones during practice, puts them on juice fasts and diet supplements, has them run bleacher sprints until they collapse. She mocks their old routines — weak straddle jumps and pompoms shaken to Kanye West — and drives them relentlessly toward the most difficult and dangerous competitive cheerleading stunts, like three-tiered standing pyramids with flying girls thrown up to the top and diving back down.

No one falls in love with Coach French faster and harder than Addy — to Beth’s disbelief, then hurt, then fury. As Addy and some of the other girls become closer and closer to their new idol, partying at her house, deconstructing her

marriage, smoking cigarettes in her car, Beth is driven out of the spotlight and stripped of her captaincy. Meanwhile, a very good-looking National Guard recruiter named Sergeant Will appears on the scene, with his “riven-granite profile blurred by the most delicate of mouths.”

Bets are placed on who will be first to lure him into a bit of disorderly conduct, and this sets in motion a series of power plays and secret schemes that spin very far out of control.

If you think all this is working up, “Glee”-like, to a final cheerleading contest, or to a sports-novel-type ending, you are very wrong. By the time the college recruiter shows up at the last game of the season, “Dare Me” has soaked the white sneakers in blood and turned into a murder mystery.

Even if you are not, as I was, reading this book by flashlight in a wind-whipped, rain-lashed tent on a camping trip, you won’t be sleeping, either.

mon. Yet giving away money is a strange business, and he sometimes had strange encounters. He flew to London to meet with foreign families, he says, and “they were absolutely convinced I was working for the CIA.” Before Sept. 11, 2001, Feinberg says he was intent on building a mega-law firm.

But afterward, his perspective changed. Things that mattered before didn’t seem to matter as much anymore.

“I am much more fatalistic,” Feinberg says. “I don’t think I plan more than two weeks ahead. You never know what’s going to happen.”

The Sept. 11 fund, as well as his later work for the Virginia Tech memorial fund and as the “pay czar” overseeing compensation for executives of bailed-out financial companies, came with unambiguous optics. He was doing “patriotic” or empathetic work without pay, Feinberg says. But the BP spill was a different matter.

As famous as Feinberg had become, BP Chairman CarlHenric Svanberg actually asked for his references. Feinberg offered up a former attorney general, John Ashcroft; a university president, Virginia Tech’s Charles Steger; and a top U.S. Treasury official, Neal Wolin.

Sufficiently impressed, BP brought him in to administer a fund that the company created. Feinberg, not a mincer of words, flatly describes BP as “a corporate wrongdoer.”

This time, he was getting paid: His firm took in a flat fee of $850,000 a month for the first three months, then bumped it up to $1.25 million a month from September 2010 through June 2012.

Feinberg can be selfdeprecating at times, but he also seems to have the swagger and elevated sense of selfworth of a man who is used to getting what he wants, when he wants it — and isn’t afraid to tell you that he got it. His default demeanor in the ambit of public relations is hailfellow-well-met affability, but he seems ever so slightly irked by criticism of his BP compensation, which was given a seal of approval by an ethics expert as well as former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who drafted a report sanctioning his pay structure.

“Why shouldn’t I be paid?

Why shouldn’t my firm benefit?” Feinberg says. Some large chunk of his fees will go to cover costs and the rest will be split among his partners, although he says he doesn’t know how much profit they’ll realize. “That is nobody’s business,” he says. “We are a private business. Ken Feinberg will do very well. . . . I don’t have to apologize for making this money.”

Marilyn Monroe is shown on the set of the film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” in 1953. The picture is included in “Marilyn in Fashion,” one of several books about the actress that have come out in the last few months.

Is there anything left to say about Marilyn? Well ...

By Adam Tschorn Los Angeles Times

In the decades since her death on Aug. 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe has been the subject of so many books that the actress practically deserves her own Dewey Decimal classification.

And although it seems unlikely that there’s any aspect of her 36 years that hasn’t been adequately dissected, analyzed and scrutinized half a century on, the books keep coming.

Recent ones include: “Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox”

By Lois Banner (Bloomsbury Press, $30) This is a dense, detailpacked book, so much so that as it recounts Monroe’s early years and the people in her life as she was shuttled from home to home, it’s easy to lose track of all the players and places.

But Banner’s theory isn’t hard to follow: that childhood sexual abuse laid the groundwork for Norma Jeane Mortenson to work hard at creating and then meticulously honing every last aspect of her Marilyn Monroe persona.

“Marilyn in Fashion: The Enduring Influence of Marilyn Monroe”

By Christopher Nickens and George Zeno (Running Press, $30) Despite the title, readers shouldn’t expect this photo-driven book to explain the reason for Monroe’s enduring fashion influence as much as chronicle the contents of her closet,

particularly the most famous of pieces — like the subway grate dress — and the fashion designers behind them.

But that’s a task it accomplishes handily, both in describing the fabrics and embellishments of the various pieces, and by including several different instances of Monroe wearing the garment. What at first seems repetitive actually helps paint a much more nuanced portrait of the actress and the way she wielded the power of her wardrobe.

“Marilyn Monroe: The Final Years”

By Keith Badman (St. Martin’s, $25.99) Written by a British author whose previous works tackled the Beatles, the Beach Boys and the Rolling Stones, this book is such a sordid account of Monroe’s final years that it’s hard to read it without feeling almost criminally voyeuristic.

A lot of that has to do with the level of minutiae detailed in the book, including utility bills, phone records and a laundry list of the items purchased in her final days (among them a hanging begonia and a couple of pet toys).

The effect of Badman’s meticulous spadework is that the reader feels compelled to give him the benefit of the doubt when he makes some of the book’s more salacious claims and assertions (not the least of which involve John F. Kennedy and UFOs).

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 2012

Toxic Co n tinued from F1 China and India, where most of the 19 factories are, have been resisting mightily. The manufacturers have grown accustomed to an income stream that in some years accounted for half their profits. The windfall has enhanced their power and influence.

As a result, many environmental experts fear that if manufacturers are not paid to destroy the waste gas, they will simply resume releasing it into the atmosphere.

Battle is brewing Disgusted with the payments, the European Union has announced that as of next year it will no longer accept the so-called waste gas credits from companies in its carbon trading system — by far the largest in the world — essentially declaring them counterfeit currency. That is expected to erode their value, but no one is sure by how much.

“Consumers in Europe want to know that if they’re paying for carbon credits, they will have good environmental effects — and these don’t,” Connie Hedegaard, the European commissioner for climate action, said in an interview.

Likewise, the United Nations is reducing the number of credits the coolant companies can collect in future contracts. But critics say the revised payment schedule is still excessive and will have little immediate effect, since the subsidy is governed by long-term contracts, many of which do not expire for years.

Even raising the possibility of trimming future payments “was politically hard,” said Martin Hession, the immediate past chairman of the U.N. Clean Development Mechanism’s executive board, which awards the credits. China and India both have representatives on the panel and the new chairman, Maosheng Duan, is Chinese.

Carbon trading has become so essential to companies like Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd., which owns a huge coolant plant in this remote corner of Gujarat state of northwest India, that carbon credits are listed as a business on the company website.

Each plant has probably earned, on average, $20 million to $40 million a year from simply destroying waste gas, says David Hanrahan, the technical director of IDEAcarbon, a leading carbon market consulting firm.

He says the income is “largely pure profit.”

And each plant expects to be paid. Some Chinese producers have said if the payments were to end, they would vent gas skyward.

Such releases are illegal in most developed countries, but still permissible in China and India.

Science and business As the United Nations became involved in efforts to curb climate change in the last 20 years, it relied on a scientific formula: Carbon dioxide, the most prevalent warming gas, released by smokestacks and vehicles, is given a value of 1.

Other industrial gases are assigned values relative to that, based on their warming effect and how long they linger. Methane is valued at 21, nitrous oxide at 310. HFC-23, the waste gas produced making the world’s most common coolant — which is known as HFC-22 — is near the top of the list, at 11,700.

The United Nations used the values to calibrate exchange rates when it began issuing carbon credits in 2005 under the Clean Development Mechanism. That system grants companies that reduce emissions in the developing world carbon credits, which they are then free to sell on global trading markets.

Buyers of the credits include power plants that need to offset emissions that exceed European limits, countries buying offsets to comply with the Kyoto Protocol — an international environmental

Subsidies for a global warming gas More than 40 percent of all carbon credits issued by the United Nations have been awarded to 19 plants for destroying HFC-23, a gaseous byproduct of a coolant that causes global warming and is used in air-conditioners.

treaty — and some environmentally conscious companies that voluntarily offset their carbon footprint.

Since the United Nations program began, 46 percent of all credits have been awarded to the 19 coolant factories, in Argentina, China, India, Mexico and South Korea. Two Russian plants receive carbon credits for destroying HFC-23 under a related United Nations program.

“I was a climate negotiator and no one had this in mind,” said David Doniger of the Natural Resources Defense Council. “It turns out you get nearly 100 times more from credits than it costs to do it. It turned the economics of the business on its head.”

The lure of credits Destroying the waste gas is cheap and simple, but it is hard to know exactly how much any one company has earned from doing so, since the market price for carbon credits has varied considerably with demand — from about $9 to nearly $40 per credit — and they can be sold at a discount through futures contracts.

The production of coolants was so driven by the lure of carbon credits for waste gas that in the first few years more than half of the plants operated only until they had produced the maximum amount of gas eligible for the carbon credit subsidy, then shut down until the next year, United Nations reports said.

The plants also used inefficient manufacturing processes to generate as much waste gas as possible, said Samuel LaBudde of the Environmental Investigation Agency, an organization based in Washington that has long spearheaded a campaign against what he called “an incredibly perverse subsidy.”

Michael Wara, a law professor at Stanford University, has calculated that in years when carbon credits were trading at high prices and coolant was dirt cheap because of the oversupply, companies were earning nearly twice as much from the credits as from producing the coolant itself.

The United Nations, recognizing the temptation for companies to jump into the lucrative business, has refused since 2007 to award carbon credits to any new factories destroying the waste gas.

And last November, it announced that in contract renewals, factories could claim credits for waste gas equivalent only to 1 percent of their coolant production, down from 3 percent. The United Nations believes that eliminates the incentive to overproduce, said Hession, the former Clean Development Mechanism board chairman.

Even with these adjustments, credits for destroying waste gas this year remain the most common type in the United Nations system, which rewards companies for reducing all types of warming emissions. Eighteen percent of credits in 2012 will go to the 19 coolant plants, compared with 12 percent to 2,372 wind power plants and 0.2 percent for 312 solar projects for the

mental Protection Agency official who is now with the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development in Washington.

That is because China has a more centrally controlled economy and because it is developing an industry based on newer coolants. “It’s easier for them to put the national interest before the interest of one manufacturing sector,” he said.

Changing values

This coolant factory in Jiangsu Province, China, is taking advantage of a U.N. climate change incentive by producing more harmful coolant gas so it can be paid to destroy the waste byproduct.

carbon dioxide emissions avoided by the clean energy they produce.

India vs. China In India, coolant plants received about half of the United Nations carbon credits awarded to companies in that country, for destroying their waste gas, during the system’s first

five years. They accrued the power and money to fight efforts to roll back the subsidy.

Compared with Indian representatives, Chinese diplomats have shown greater willingness at international meetings to consider altering the subsidy for waste gas credits, said Stephen Andersen, a former U.S. Environ-

A bigger question is just how much the European Union’s decision to disallow, as of next year, the waste gas credits in its immense carbon trading system will decrease their value.

Banks and companies holding such credits have been rushing to cash them in or sell them. And the potential devaluation of the carbon credits has an impact in other industrialized nations, since the carbon credit projects involve foreign sponsors and investors, who sometimes received carbon credits in exchange for services or financing.

The Gujarat project was financed by Rabobank of the

Netherlands and the Sumitomo Corp. of Japan.

A coolant factory in Monterrey, Mexico, that receives carbon credits is 49 percent owned by Honeywell. Goldman Sachs bought many of its carbon credits.

Such credits are likely to have some continued value, because they can be used in other environmental programs that allow their use, like voluntary ones through which companies offset the emissions generated by having a conference or travelers opt to pay a fee to offset the emissions from an airplane flight.

LaBudde, of the Environmental Investigation Agency, who has long campaigned against the subsidy, said he hoped that no one would buy these “toxic” credits that “have no place in carbon markets” and that they would quickly disappear.

In its latest annual report, Gujarat Fluorochemicals acknowledged that its carbon credits “may not have a significant market” starting next year because European companies have previously been their primary buyers.

Hanrahan, of IDEAcarbon, said that the credits could, at the very least, be sold at a low price to traders who see the possibility for marginal profit in a way similar to the market for junk bonds.

Even if all the proposals to make the carbon trade far less valuable succeeded, the 19 factories certified to generate carbon credits by destroying the waste gas could earn $1 billion from that business over the next eight years, according to projections by IDEAcarbon.

What’s next?

And even as the economics shift, one big environmental question remains: Without some form of inducement, will companies like Gujarat Fluorochemicals continue to destroy the waste gas HFC-23?

Already, a small number of coolant factories in China that did not qualify for the United Nations carbon credits freely vent this dangerous chemical.

And atmospheric levels are rapidly rising.

Bend home sales increase, values drop

By Elon Glucklich The Bulletin

Last year, 1,684 homes sold in Bend, 150 more than in 2007.

But the total value of the 2011 sales — $401 million — was 38 percent less than the $648 million generated in 2007.

The effects of the decline in value reach far beyond the buyer and seller of a home.

It means fewer jobs for Central Oregon construction workers, subcontractors and real estate agents, reduced demand for furniture and other home decor and less revenue

for government services.

“I hear from a lot of our members that they are having to work harder to make the same amount of money,” said Kathy Ragsdale, Central Oregon Association of Realtors’ CEO. Real estate agents make their pay on commission, taking a set percentage from each home transaction.

When home prices are lower, it takes more sales — and time — to equal the earnings from selling a single, more valuable property.

See Housing / G3

Home sales up, values flat While home sales have started to rise in Bend, the value of those sales continues to be flat, and far below pre-recession levels.

The total value of all 2011 home sales was down 38 percent from 2007, despite more homes being sold.

Playing chicken on food safety?

ATLANTA — One-third of a second.

That’s how long a federal inspector will have to examine slaughtered chickens for contaminants and disease under new rules proposed by the federal government.

The proposal would speed up production lines as much as 25 percent. It also would pull most federal inspectors off the lines and replace them with plant workers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says its proposal is a win-win-win that modernizes food inspection while saving money for taxpayers and the poultry industry.

The nation’s most recognized food safety and consumer groups, however, say the plan would leave gaping holes in oversight that will endanger the

“I went out and bought a food processor so we could make more vegetarian meals,” said Felicia Nestor, a food safety advocate and a consultant with the Government Accountability Project. “If the changes go into effect, my husband and I will no longer buy chicken.”

C

old Alex Harris.

Rice, vegetables, bits of chicken and other pieces of food would remain on the table

after dinner, because he and his four younger brothers were spilling so much off their plates.

Then Alex would sweep the food into the garbage, rendering it as waste.

“It was, like, really uncool,” Alex said last week while sitting at the table at his family’s house east of Bend.

But if there were some tool on each person’s plate that could help get food onto the fork or spoon, Alex recalled thinking, maybe the mess would be minimized, and maybe less food would end up in the trash.

He decided to be like his father, Dan Harris, and invent something. Dan

Harris has designed a Jetmousine — a cross between a Lear jet and a Chevrolet truck — and other creations. The Jetmousine project is looking for a new investor, Dan Harris said.

Based on Alex’s drawings, he and his dad fine-tuned a design with software and sent it off to a three-dimensional printer.

Six months after the idea occurred to him, Alex now has five prototypes

of a short but sturdy plastic triangle with a suction cup — a contraption he calls a Cleaner Eater.

Alex wants to produce Cleaner Eaters on a large scale, with injection molds. That’s why he’s seeking $35,000 on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo.com. Two weeks into the campaign, with more than a month to go, he’s racked up 1 percent of his goal.

The campaign to digitize your wallet is intensifying

By Brian X. Chen New York Times News Service

This week, Starbucks joined forces with Square, a technology startup that lets you pay for things with a smartphone. Coming from a company whose cafes seem to be on every corner, that’s a powerful endorsement. Does that mean your phone will soon replace your wallet?

That’s hardly certain, because any company offering mobile payments faces a big challenge: convincing people that paying with a phone is safer and more convenient than using cash or a credit card.

But the partnership will clearly give a lot more exposure to Square, a company in San Francisco with about 300 employees, and to the idea of mobile payments in general.

Square isn’t yet near getting the big numbers it needs to become a mainstream replacement for the wallet. To date it has 75,000 merchants using its technology to accept payments. It refuses to disclose the number of consumers using its Pay With Square app, presumably because there aren’t enough to brag about.

Wattpad brings old-fashioned storytelling online

By Ellen McCarthy The Washington Post

It will sound, at first, like a 10th-grade English teacher’s utopian dream: an online gathering spot where, instead of bullying each other, posting provocative photos of themselves or laying out wish lists of stuff they want, droves of young people are reading, writing and encouraging each other. “Keep going!� they say. “I can’t wait to see what happens next!�

And they’re doing it voluntarily! Not even for extra credit.

Wattpad is succeeding where thousands of high school literary magazines have failed — and its investors expect to make a bundle of money doing it.

The site, which is most often accessed by mobile phone, acts as a repository for amateur writers, who post short stories, novels and poems for others to read and critique. The works are often revealed chapter by chapter, so readers are anticipating new developments and often lobbying the writer for plot shifts or new characters.

More than 500,000 new stories go up on Wattpad each month. “Storytelling is all about connecting audiences and the people telling the story,� said Allen Lau, the company’s cofounder and chief executive. “So we are trying to re-create that environment through the Internet.�

Lau is a serial entrepreneur based in Toronto who had the germ of an idea for a digital reading venture when he was still working for a mobile gaming company in 2002. “Reading is my thing. I read a lot,� he said. “But I just did not have enough time in the day to sit down and focus on my reading material.�

Four years later, as he decided on his next move, he returned to the idea and found that a former colleague had a similar vision. The idea was to adapt reading material to the way people live now — consuming small portions of content, largely through their

A web(site) of tales Readers and writers can find each other at Wattpad.com.

phones.

The first year Wattpad launched, in 2006, he says, the adoption rate was “very, very slow.� The next year it was “slow� and the third year, “not as slow.� Eventually, they gained a critical mass of users who were uploading stories and telling their friends.

Now the site gets 9 million unique visitors a month; its users spent 1.7 billion minutes on the site last month, a figure comparable to that of other social networking sites such as Pinterest. It recently attracted $17.3 million in venture funding and announced that legendary author Margaret Atwood had become a user and advocate of Wattpad. “If there are no young writers and readers, sooner or later there will be no older writers and readers,� Atwood said from her home in Toronto last week.

Because the site allows readers to post their work anonymously, she added, it takes away some of the fear of being judged by peers. “You get an audience, you get some comments, some feedback.

And you get to see what your stuff looks like in print, which is a thrill,� she said.

Atwood will judge a poetry contest on the site this summer and plans to release “a big fiction surprise� in the fall.

The site’s traffic has been largely the result of word-of-

mouth referrals. More than 5 million stories have been posted. Like Facebook, Wattpad’s user base began with young people — in this case largely teenagers — and is slowly catching on with older audiences. The works reflect the sensibilities of their authors. “Romance,� “Adventure� and “Historical Fiction� are listed as major categories, as are “Vampire� and “Werewolf� stories.

Managers of the British boy band “One Direction� hired a writer to post a work of fan fiction — a serialized fantasy about the band members.

Within a week, it had been viewed 100,000 times. And since that posting, 12,000 other pieces of “One Direction� fan fiction have been written

by Wattpad users.

Lau says he doesn’t see Wattpad as a competitor to traditional publishing houses.

Users retain copyrights to all works they upload, and Wattpad has no plans to print any content it generates. But a few Wattpad writers, he notes, have leveraged their success on the site to land book contracts.

Last year, the company raised $3.5 million from two investors, including Union Square Ventures, an early backer of Twitter, Etsy and FourSquare. Last month, it announced the new round of funding, led by Khosla Ven-

tures of San Francisco. The cash infusion will be used to make improvements to the site and raise the company’s profile. “We were really impressed with the type of traction they were able to get in a short period of time,� said Andrew Chung, a partner at Khosla. “In the same way YouTube was able to democratize the ability to create and broadcast videos on your own, this was the same kind of mechanism — to write and share stories with a broad range of readers.�

Amanda Pate, a 22-year-old student at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Texas, joined the site two years ago.

She liked that Wattpad made it difficult to copy stories, eliminating much of the risk of plagiarism. She has always been a writer but found that

having an audience made her take the endeavor much more seriously. Pate has completed two novels and is working on a third. “I’m so busy with classes and finishing up my degree, but I have so many people who read my stories, and they’re always like: ‘When are you going to update? When are you going to post your next chapter?’� she said. “It actually kept me going, to be like, ‘OK, I need to get on a writing schedule.’ And I think I’ve become a better writer since starting this, just because I’ve

been writing so much.�

Pate also likes that it’s such a compassionate community. “They’re very kind and understanding and encouraging,� she said. “And I love it just because kids are writing — to me that’s exciting.�

Naturally, when she graduates in December, Pate hopes to become an English teacher.

Continued from G1 The USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service, which oversees poultry plants, believes the changes would “ensure and even enhance the safety of the poultry supply by focusing our inspectors’ efforts on activities more directly tied to improving food safety,” FSIS spokesman Dirk Fillpot said in a statement.

The agency says it wants inspectors to focus on issues that pose the greatest health risks to the public.

Georgia produces more chickens for meat consumption — 1.3 billion a year — than any other state, so the USDA’s proposed changes are critically important here. The agency has not said when it will make its final decision on the proposal. The new system would be voluntary, though FSIS expects all but the smallest poultry plants to opt in. Advocates say that’s because the other option would prohibit those plants from remaining competitive in the industry.

Continued from G1 Deschutes County real estate employees took home a combined $23.2 million in wages in 2011, according to Oregon Employment Department data, 38 percent less than the $37.7 million in wages in 2006.

The slide has been even steeper for construction workers and subcontractors, like plumbers and electricians.

Nearly 12 percent of Deschutes County’s workforce was employed in construction and subcontracting in 2006. Those workers brought home more than $267 million combined that year, or 14 percent of the county’s entire private-sector payroll.

Last year, workers in those jobs took in $95 million, a 64 percent drop.

That trend has carried across the nation, but Bend’s home building market has been one of the harder hit areas in the country, said Elliot Eisenberg, a senior economist with the National Association of Homebuilders.

The decline in new building activity over the past four years helps explain why Deschutes County’s unemployment rate has held in double digits since October 2008, he said.

Home building has a multiplier effect. Each house built creates more than three jobs in construction and contracting, according to NAHB studies.

But when building activity drops, as it abruptly did in 2008, Eisenberg said, construction companies that adjusted their workforces for more activity have to scale back.

So employees lose their jobs.

“What does it mean to Bend if you’re building 30 fewer houses than before?

That’s 100 fewer workers, and 100 fewer paychecks,” he said. “Think about the builders and real estate agents, even furniture store employees. These workers need money to buy food, or go to the hairdresser, or get a tattoo. All these transactions don’t occur if people don’t have the money.”

Seven furniture stores went out of business in Bend between mid-2008 and mid-2009 — evidence of the market’s quick collapse.

The impact from lower home prices, meanwhile, goes beyond private-sector jobs.

Deschutes County uses revenue generated from property taxes to fund jail operations, police and fire protection and numerous other services.

so the agency could track results and identify poor performers.

‘Phoning it in’

The biggest changes: • Use workers in chicken and turkey plants to replace all but one federal inspector on the conveyor belt, where bad birds are removed from the production line. (Currently, chicken plants have as many as four federal inspectors on their lines.)

• Let those plants decide how much training their workers receive in identifying diseased or defected birds.

• Enable plants to speed up their slaughter lines so that the sole federal inspector, stationed at the end of the line, would be required to view up to 175 birds per minute. The maximum speed now is 140 per minute, but that workload is divided among four inspectors so that it averages out at 35 per minute for each inspector.

• Let poultry plants decide what dangerous bacteria they test carcasses for and how often they test, and no longer require plants to test for E. coli.

The government says the changes will save taxpayers more than $90 million over three years. But the big winner will be the poultry industry, which will save at least $256 million a year in production costs, the USDA has projected.

But at least one Georgia poultry plant owner isn’t sold on the concept. Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, said he likes having an unbiased third party closely examining each chicken that comes through his production line.

“I don’t want to be the fox that’s guarding the henhouse,” said Harris, whose farm is about 75 miles south of Columbus. Harris also raises grass-fed cattle and sheep and is one of the few operations that handles its own slaughter on-site.

Who says what’s safe?

Georgia’s largest poultry plants are capable of slaughtering and processing hundreds of thousands of chickens in a day. On the production line, chickens are hung upside down by their feet in shackles, one next to another, and subjected to an electric shock that stuns them into unconsciousness. A razor-sharp blade then cuts the animals’ jugular vein; other devices remove their feathers, heads, feet and internal organs.

As the chickens move down the line, as many as four federal inspectors are stationed to examine them. The line is timed so that birds pass in front of an inspector for about two seconds. The inspectors handle each carcass and peer inside its chest cavity, searching for defects such as disease, infection and fecal contamination; he or she also looks at the bird’s internal organs for signs of disease. The inspector pulls the chicken off the line if any of those conditions is present.

A few times a month, other inspectors take small samples of birds and mail them to federal labs, where they are tested for bacteria such as salmonella and campylobacter.

The Food Safety Inspection Service says the new system would require poultry plants to take more responsibility for weeding out birds with diseases, infections and defects.

These conditions include an infection of the blood called septicemia, which discolors the bird, and an infection called “inflammatory process,” which can cause a hard yellow scab to form under a chicken’s

Chickens are gathered for slaughter in the predawn hours at White Oak Pastures. Will Harris, owner of the small organic farm and slaughter house, said he doesn’t want his employees to perform inspection duties that government inspections do today. Changes to federal regulations would give poultry plant operators greater control over the inspection process that has food safety experts worried.

skin. Currently federal inspectors pull these birds off the line when they spot them; the new rules would largely leave that to plant employees.

In redirecting its inspectors from production lines, FSIS says, more inspectors will be freed up to focus on issues that affect public health, such as salmonella and campylobacter. Yet, under the proposed system, FSIS would not increase testing for those pathogens.

Advocates say they’re not opposed to modernizing poultry inspection and requiring plants to take more ownership of their product. They say, however, that the agency’s proposal goes far beyond that, giving too much control and freedom to poultry plants while also relaxing the government’s oversight.

In 1999, FSIS created a pilot program that allowed 20 chicken plants and five turkey plants to play by a different set of rules. They could run their slaughter lines at faster speeds.

They swapped most government inspectors on the lines with their own plant workers.

Two plants in that pilot program are in Georgia, one in Gainesville, one in Claxton.

The program is the foundation for the proposed changes.

And FSIS documents portray it as an overwhelming success. The agency says the rates of fecal contamination — a major vehicle for spreading bacteria — are lower in the pilot plants. The agency also says the rates of salmonella compare favorably.

Opponents of the proposal say FSIS is distorting the facts on both issues. They cite an audit by the Government Accountability Office in December 2001, which concluded that results from the program would be “unreliable.” The audit also noted that citations for fecal contamination skyrocketed in poultry plants’ first year in the pilot program.

Critics say FSIS responded by gaming the system. They say the agency allowed the pilot plants to rearrange the production line in a way that largely prevented inspectors from writing citations for fecal contamination.

As a result, the critics say, the citations plummeted. The government says its fecal contamination rates in pilot plants are about half those of other plants’.

“So all those (citations) that were getting written up early on under the (pilot) program because inspectors were finding a lot of fecal, all of a sudden, they all go away,” Nestor said. She is the food-safety consultant to the Government Accountability Project, a Washington group that supports government and corporate whistle-blowers.

Asked for a response, FSIS did not address the alleged connection between the citations and the relocation of the employee stations. The

agency would not agree to an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for this article but answered some of the newspaper’s questions by email.

Food safety advocates also say that the agency’s statistics on salmonella rates in pilot plants are unimpressive.

Salmonella rates were actually lower in 2009 and 2010 in nonpilot comparison plants than the pilot plants, according to a 2011 evaluation of the pilot program.

Faster line speeds As birds whiz past them at a rate of three per second, federal inspectors say, it’s impossible to properly inspect all of them.

“There’s no humanly way you can keep up,” said inspector and union official Stan Painter, who works at a pilot plant in Crossville, Ala., that uses the faster line speeds.

“They’re going by in a blur.”

FSIS says it’s a reasonable speed, in part because there won’t be as much for the federal inspector to look for. In the new system, plant workers will have already sorted most of the birds with defects and disease.

“Therefore, FSIS inspectors at (pilot plants) are able to inspect carcasses at these line speeds,” according to the agency. It added that inspectors would still have the power to stop or slow the lines if large numbers of birds with defects prevented them from performing proper inspections.

Where federal inspectors now examine each bird’s chest cavity — a frequent hiding place for fecal contamination — they won’t do so under the new system. “Such hand contact will be infrequent,” FSIS says.

The new rules would still dictate that inspectors write citations when they find fecal contamination, Nestor said, “but they’re just not letting inspectors look for fecal.” For defects that haven’t been proven to harm people, FSIS will let chicken plants set their own standards for weeding them out, a change that inspectors and advocates say will result in more undesirable discoveries in packages.

When it comes to food safety, though, controlling foodborne bacteria is paramount.

Plants are currently required to test a sample of carcasses for E. coli. The new regulation would let them test for the bacteria of their choice but does not set any minimum requirements for how often to test.

“All they’ve done so far is remove regulations,” said Caroline Smith DeWaal, director of food safety for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group.

“They haven’t replaced them with better standards.”

What FSIS should do, advocates say, is require all plants to test for the same bacteria,

If plants are largely responsible for removing diseased and unwholesome birds from production, the question is: Will they do it? The industry says yes.

“If there’s any defects on those birds at all, they’re coming off the line,” said Ashley Peterson, vice president of science and technology for the National Chicken Council.

Others fear the worst.

David Barrett, a federal inspector assigned to poultry plants in Gainesville, worked in the industry as a young man. He says he was told to do things he knew were wrong, such as picking up contaminated birds off the floor and putting them back into production. His desire to right those wrongs led him to become an inspector.

Barrett, stressing that he is speaking on his own behalf and not for his agency, said he believes plant workers will be pressured to keep as many birds as possible in production.

“They don’t like it when we slow the lines down,” Barrett said of plant supervisors. “You think they’re going to allow their own people to do it?”

Inspectors and advocates also say it’s a mistake not to require training for poultry workers on how to identify diseased or infected birds.

“I have a problem with that,” said Brian Lubke, also a federal inspector in Gainesville speaking on his own behalf.

“Do these people know what they’re looking for?”

The government has had plenty of time to decide whether to require training for plant employees; the 2001 audit recommended it to ensure “that plant personnel are as competent as federal inspectors.” The agency hasn’t heeded the advice. “It would (be) appropriate for the establishment to determine the type of training its employees need,” FSIS says.

Other countries with similar inspection programs keep their meat or poultry plants on a shorter leash: • In New Zealand, the USDA requires that company workers receive training equivalent to that of a U.S. federal inspector — a much higher standard than it is proposing here — if the plant exports meat to the U.S. • Employees at Australian plants that export meat must undergo about 500 hours of training to inspect meat.

• In Canada, the government trains plant workers for two months before they may inspect poultry.

Advocates say FSIS should re-examine its plan.

Some criticized the agency for not consulting with its own advisory committee before announcing its plans. The committee directly advises Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

“I certainly am irritated and annoyed,” said Patricia Buck, a member of the National Advisory Committee on Meat & Poultry Inspection. “It should not happen this way again.”

After members complained, the agency organized a twohour phone conference call with the committee, which usually meets in person and for longer stretches. They also were not permitted to ask questions.

“It was phoning it in — the perfect use of that phrase,” said committee member Sarah Klein, an attorney with the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

The cash value of taxable property in Deschutes County rose at an annual rate of 8.5 percent between 2002 and 2008, figures from the county assessor’s annual tax summaries show.

Since 2008, average annual appreciation has been 1.5 percent.

So the county has been forced to use a combination of staff cuts and service reductions to keep its budget balanced in lieu of the revenue drop-off, said Deschutes County Treasurer Marty Wynne.

“Departments have trimmed their budgets” because of the downturn, Wynne said.

Some of the decline has actually been recovered by the county through back taxes.

Thousands of area residents lost their homes to foreclosure between 2008 and 2011. Many of those homeowners were behind on property tax payments, Wynne said.

One of the first things a bank typically does after taking a foreclosed home is repay those delinquent taxes. And those late payments have prevented steeper cuts, Wynne said.

The city of Bend is in an identical situation, having recouped nearly $1.2 million in unexpected revenue from back taxes.

But while public revenue has been recovered, private jobs haven’t.

Construction-related employment in 2012 is lower in Deschutes County than at any time since 2000, Oregon Employment Department data show, with employment dropping each year since 2006.

Real estate agents are in the same boat.

Ragsdale with the Central Oregon Association of Realtors said the group had about 2,200 members in 2006.

Today, membership is just under 1,400.

“Quite a few Realtors now have second jobs,” she said.

“And some have decided that it’s probably time for them to retire.”

But a recovery likely doesn’t mean employment returning to levels seen during the boom years. Ragsdale called that level of activity unsustainable.

“Like home prices, I think that 2,200 level was kind of inflated,” Ragsdale said, a response to the skyrocketing home prices that brought hundreds of Bend-area residents into the real estate field.

“We’d be happy if we could get a few more (agents)... 2005 and 2006 might have been just a little crazy, like the gold rush. I think there is a happy medium. I don’t think we’ve recovered as much as we can, or will, but hopefully it won’t ever go back to the way it was in 2005 and 2006.”

New soda fountain a game-changer

By Leon Stafford The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

ATLANTA — Coca-Cola’s Freestyle fountain dispenser, which the company launched three years ago, is one of its biggest innovations in years, and many say the machine is a potential game-changer in the ultra-competitive beverage industry.

Dispensing combinations of more than 120 of the company’s brands from a touch screen — including Coke Zero, Fanta, Pibb and Dasani — the machines are being credited with driving double-digit sales for many of the restaurant chains that have adopted it.

Despite some anxiety about the reliability of computers and the added costs that come with more choices, the device has been so successful that competitors may soon come up with their own versions.

“It’s giving consumers the ultimate option — beverage choices that they can customize themselves,” said Joe Pawlak, vice president of Technomic, a Chicago-based food research consultant. “It’s also driving up food sales by luring in customers who are there just to use the machines.”

But it comes at a cost. Traditionally, retailers are given the fountain equipment for free or through some other arrangement, including leases or as a loan from a bottler. For Freestyle, retailers pay a program fee that covers the equipment, installation, service, upgrades and the wireless data connection. Coca-Cola declined to disclose the fee amount.

The concentrate that makes the drinks also is more expensive than it is for traditional devices. Operators of several of the chains that offer the machines said they raised drink prices on average by 10 cents to cover costs.

Because of the increased choices, retailers also are buying more concentrate to ac-

Mobile Continued from G1 “The biggest friction has been places to pay,” said Jack Dorsey, the founder of Square, in an interview. He said that with so many different companies trying to get a piece of the market, paying with a phone has been a “fragmented” experience. But the Starbucks partnership should widen the use of Square specifically, he said.

Indeed, businesses of all kinds, including big companies like Google, Microsoft and Sprint and small startups like GoPago and Scvngr, are hoping to profit from mobile payments — if only they can figure out what kind of system appeals to consumers and merchants.

Google has developed a mobile wallet app that uses a technology called near-field communication, which allows a phone to communicate wirelessly with a nearby cash register. GoPago has an app that lets customers place an order before arriving in a store; it shows up on a tablet on the

commodate consumers who are trying — and sometimes dumping down the drain — the expansive drink selection.

Technology is also a concern, at least at first, for some retailers. The machines are computer-operated, making them susceptible to freezing, crashing or breaking down.

Unlike traditional fountain dispensers, which use air pressure to send the soda from plastic bags when customers squeeze or push a lever, a computer sends the drink choice to cartridges stored in the machine.

Coca-Cola said that so far, it has not seen a lot of problems, and that the company has a team of technicians at the ready to fix whatever glitches occur. Many of the problems also can be resolved via updates sent to the machines directly from Coca-Cola, which is connected to all the devices.

There’s also a learning curve for customers wishing to use Freestyle. Consumers generally need guidance when the machine is first installed, which can create long lines as they become acquainted with the choices,

restaurant operators say.

“What often happens is people watch each other and learn how to use it,” said Don Fox, the chief executive officer for Firehouse Subs. “But after the first 60 days it works itself out.” Coca-Cola says 97 percent of its customers that have tried Freestyle continue to use it or have added more machines. About 7,200 machines are in operation in 4,500 locations, including Burger King, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and Noodles & Co., said Susan Stribling, a Coca-Cola spokeswoman.

Freestyle’s success is critical for Atlanta-based CocaCola. North American sales of its carbonated beverages — its biggest moneymaker — have been declining since their peak in the 1990s. Teas, water, juices and energy drinks have picked up some of the slack, but they don’t have the same volume as the company’s soft drinks.

The machines, which also are in movie theaters and corporate cafeterias, could lure back customers the company has lost or introduce them and others to drinks not available

merchant’s counter. Square offers businesses software for the iPad that shows pictures of nearby customers who are using the Pay With Square app on their smartphone, so all they have to do is state their name to pay for an item.

Starbucks stores will begin accepting a less ambitious form of Square payments this fall, when customers will be able to show a Square bar code on their smartphone at the register. The companies expect 7,000 Starbucks stores in the U.S. to be hooked up to the new system before the holiday season.

Starbucks has already been accepting mobile payments through its own bar code app.

With one million app transactions a week, Starbucks is the most successful example of mobile payments to date, according to Denee Carrington, an analyst at the research firm Forrester. She said the partnership should make Square the biggest player in mobile payments.

“They’ve been working with the moms and pops of the world, small coffee shops

and that kind of thing, but this certainly gives them another level of presence in the market,” Carrington said. “Now in addition to the neighborhood coffee shop, they’ll be at every corner of New York City.”

But not everyone is convinced that Square’s buddying up with a behemoth like Starbucks is such a good idea.

Seth Priebatsch, chief executive of Scvngr, a startup that offers a mobile payment app called LevelUp, said the move could risk alienating other big retailers.

Square has invited Howard D. Schultz, Starbucks’ chief executive, to its board. That would give the coffee company influence over how the payment system is developed, which could scare other big retailers away from adopting it, Priebatsch said.

“If I was Dunkin’ Donuts or 7-Eleven or Peet’s Coffee, I wouldn’t touch Square with a 10-foot pole,” Priebatsch said.

“Giving one retail partner undue influence over a whole payment ecosystem is a dangerous precedent to set.”

on the market because of limited space on shelves at grocery and convenience stores.

And the restaurant fountain business, which uses most of the Freestyle machines, has been extremely competitive over the past year. In May, longtime rival PepsiCo ousted Coca-Cola as the exclusive provider of non-alcoholic beverages at IHOP and Applebee’s restaurants. A month earlier, Coca-Cola replaced PepsiCo products at Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins. Papa John’s Pizza announced in November that it was ending its exclusive 25-year relationship with Coca-Cola, and it started serving PepsiCo beverages in U.S. stores in January.

With that competition in mind, PepsiCo is said to be working on a version of its own that might up the ante by including coffee and smoothies, options Freestyle currently does not offer.

PepsiCo spokeswoman Gina Anderson said in an emailed statement that innovation is key to its “long-term success.”

“It’s what enables us to continually meet our customers’ and consumers’ desires for great-tasting, convenient products, unique packaging and differentiated equipment,” Anderson said. “It’s no secret that as part of PepsiCo’s innovation pipeline we have been hard at work on the development of new fountain equipment; and we plan to share more details about it in the future.” Under current conditions, experts say Freestyle could tip the balance in Coca-Cola’s favor if the company can demonstrate sales improvements to retailers, especially those looking to differentiate themselves from competitors, such as Atlantabased Moe’s Southwest Grill.

After testing the machines for two months in its four company-owned stores, Moe’s expanded Freestyle to locations

in Atlanta, Jacksonville, Orlando, Raleigh and Tampa. Half the stores in those cities got a machine, the others didn’t. Those who did saw comparable sales jump 9 percent, Moe’s President Paul Damico said.

“We have a lot of wateronly customers who come in and just ask for a cup,” said Damico, adding that the chain would eventually offer the machines to all stores and has mandated them for new franchises.

“We were successful in converting 11 percent of those customers over to Freestyle.” Coca-Cola plans to expand beyond chains and offer the machines to independent restaurants and mom-andpop operations in the coming months, said Jennifer Mann, vice president and general manager of CocaCola Freestyle. Coca-Cola also is testing the ability of customers to interface with the machines through mobile phones and has an app that helps them locate the nearest Freestyle device.

But the company is not stopping there. Because the machine can download how much of a particular drink is being dispensed at any given time, it could let Coca-Cola know whether there is a drink that needs to be offered in bottles and cans in grocery stores.

“We will certainly have the ability to bring a new brand to store because of the data collected,” Mann said.

Most of the early adopters said they took the plunge to separate themselves from competitors.

While Coca-Cola is adding retailers at a brisk clip, Freestyle’s footprint remains tiny compared with the thousands of outlets it could be in.

Dorsey said he didn’t think of it that way. He said that for retailers considering a mobile payment system, what mattered most were the numbers of customers it brought to the table and the overall cost of operation.

“I don’t think this sets the tone in a negative way in those conversations,” he said.

He added that retailers had been asking Starbucks for advice because of its success in innovations.

But if Starbucks was already so good at getting people to pay with their phones, why should it hand over the keys to someone else? Schultz said using Square might eventually help Starbucks reduce some of the expense of credit card transactions, known as interchange fees.

Square says that it makes moving money around more efficient by cutting out mid-

dlemen and dealing with a unit of JPMorgan Chase to handle its credit and debit card transactions, which helps lower costs.

Dorsey explained that as a younger company, Square had the advantage of using newer technologies to improve the transactions process and save money.

Square’s current fee for merchants is 2.75 percent of each transaction. Adding millions more purchases through Starbucks could improve efficiency further and bring that fee even lower, he said.

“A lot of the industry is working off legacy code from the ’70s,” Dorsey said. “All this has been rewritten, vetted and audited, and that allows us to be much more agile and reduce the overall cost of the system.”

Continued from G1 Inventing isn’t new to Central Oregon. Neither is the idea of looking for business funding in small amounts from many people on Indiegogo and other sites. But Scott Seelye, who has done consulting for inventors and taught an inventing class at Central Oregon Community College, said he hasn’t come across many children inventors, never mind those who have a business strategy.

College-graduate inventors in their late 30s, 40s, or 50s are far more common, he said.

“They’ll end up doing the standard school route and, you know, little dreams like that get set aside,” Seelye said of people’s inventions.

But Alex hasn’t set aside his Cleaner Eaters. He’s stepped up marketing efforts.

In recent weeks he’s done a radio interview, started a Facebook page and handed out flyers at Larkspur Park in southeast Bend, hoping to entice people to contribute to his Indiegogo campaign. His mother, Andrea Harris, contacted The Bulletin to set up an interview.

Alex wants to meet his goal of $35,000, which is the amount his father estimated would be necessary for production, not because he wants to make a lot of money but because he wants to help people save food and clean less after eating.

Alex’s dad also came up with the idea of going to a crowdfunding site. The family originally pitched the Cleaner Eater on Kickstarter, but Kickstarter turned it down, so they tried Indiegogo.

With a plan for securing the money he needs to make Cleaner Eaters on a larger scale, Alex is also distinct from some other very young inventors, including those who have participated in the Inventerprise contest through Bend Research Inc. and BendLa Pine Schools.

“It’s an achievement, for a 10-year-old boy to do that,” said Carlos Lovizzaro, director of marketing for Inventors NorthWest, a group of inventors that meets in Bend once a month.

Although unusual, Alex’s efforts show that nearly anyone can be an inventor, Lovizzaro said. All that’s required, he said, is to find a problem and come up with a way to solve it.

Earmuffs, the Popsicle and Braille are among the inventions attributed to kids. The inventor Dean Kamen’s nonprofit, FIRST; the company

By Kids For Kids and other groups promote innovation in kids.

Kickstarter and other crowdfunding websites are increasingly useful for inventors, because people on those sites can be willing to contribute money, similar to family members, Seelye said. Angel investors or even venture capitalists, by comparison, can be more reluctant to invest, he said.

“That’s always been the number-one goal,” Seelye said of finding invention funding.

Charger SRT8: politically incorrect, and it feels so right

By Warren Brown

Little is more pleasing than the guilty pleasure of driving a car as rambunctiously powerful, fast and wasteful as the Charger SRT8.

Special to The Washington Post

I understand Mitt Romney.

He is not as much of a flip-flop artist as he is a deeply conflicted man.

I understand how that happens. You have noble values that, unfortunately, run afoul of other things you want to do.

Romney, a wealthy Republican, wants to be REVIEW president of the United States.

He also wants to remain wealthy — aspirations that seem in conflict with the many good and noble things he did for the common people of Massachusetts as governor of that state.

So here he is disavowing a successful state healthcare program that served as the template for the Obama administration’s national health-care plan. Here he is whooping it up with the most conservative of conservatives, saying and doing things that his late father, George W. Romney, a liberal Republican, the 43rd governor of Michigan, a civil rights stalwart and leader of the American automobile industry, would be ashamed of.

But I’m not angry with Mitt for his apparent betrayal. We all have a little Mitt in us, including me, and, in the interest of full disclosure, I’m an ecolefty Obama supporter.

I fully understand the global need for renewable energy, for alternative propulsion systems for cars and trucks, for today’s vehicles to consume less oil and gas. I’m a staunch advocate of such changes.

Or I was, until I spent a week behind the wheel of the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8, with its humongous 6.4-liter, 470-horsepower V-8 engine.

It’s a rear-wheel-drive beast.

It comes with a $1,000 federal gas-guzzler tax, applied be-

The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 is a wonderful full-size sedan of limited aesthetic and practical appeal. But fans love it enough to pay the price — both purchase and maintenance — to own it.

2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 Base price: $45,925 As tested: $49,415, including $1,690 in options (adaptive cruise control, 20-inch-diameter BSW performance tires, lane-change warning system, backup warning system with onboard navigation, backup warning, rear-view camera) and a $995 destination charge and $1,000 federal gas-guzzler tax.

Type: Full-size, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive performance sedan.

Engine: Comes standard with a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 engine producing 470 horsepower and 470 footpounds of torque). The engine is linked to a five-speed automatic transmission that also can be operated manually, via a floor-mounted gear lever or with paddle shifters on the left and right sides of the steering wheel.

Mileage: The Environmental Protection Agency says you can get 14 miles per gallon in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. You will get substantially less than that in real-world driving — about 12 mpg city and 21 highway, if you’re lucky.

cause it swallows gasoline at the combined city-highway rate of barely 18 miles per gallon, less than the federal threshold of 22.5 miles per gallon. But the car runs so fast and hard, it makes me want to shout: “Hallelujah, Sarah!

Drill, baby, drill!”

I could’ve declined delivery of the Charger SRT8. The car runs counter to my newfound religion of environmentally responsible motoring. But I wanted to drive it more than Mitt wants to become presi-

dent. So I swallowed my hypocrisy and said yes.

I’m glad I did. Little is more pleasing than the guilty pleasure of driving a car as rambunctiously powerful, fast and wasteful as the Charger SRT8.

But I had to be smart about it.

It seems that every law enforcement official in the Washington-Baltimore region knows about the performance capacity of the Charger SRT8.

They often followed me on major highways and city streets. I understand. The car has necksnapping, back-slamming acceleration. It can run from 0 to 60 mph in under five seconds with no heavy breathing. The police were just waiting for me to mess up.

So, like a wayward soul creeping into a porno show, I drove it in places where people weren’t looking — in fact, where there were no people at all. I had such fun! You squeeze the Charger SRT8’s accelerator. A deep growl-rumble emanates from the bowels of the car. Squeeze it a bit more.

The volume and depth of the exhaust note increase. Shove it. Whoosh! You start “oh my God”-ing all over the place.

You can’t help it. The feeling is just that good when the Charger SRT8 is driven in a place where the car — the top of the five-trim Charger line (SE, SXT, R/T, SRT8 Super Bee and SRT8) — is allowed to run the way it is designed and engineered to run.

But there aren’t many places like that, which is why the Charger SRT8 is bound to remain a niche-mobile. It is too big, powerful, fast and mean-looking for most American motorists. It costs substantially more than cheap or “affordable.” It is a miserable, frustrating, heavy and ponderous car to be with in most congested, stop-and-go urban traffic. Add those demerits to the Charger SRT8’s prodigious consumption of premium gasoline and you have a car that makes little or no sense as a daily commuter.

But still I love the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, I love it. It’s the way of the world, I guess.

You can’t have churches and saints without sinners. You can’t have politics without duplicity. And you can’t convert to environmentally responsible motoring without at least understanding why the other sort is so magnificently appealing.

Trouble in the car’s brain

By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

My car is a 2005 Acura TL. Twice this week the Q: car suddenly jerked to the side for only an instant. It felt as if one of the front brakes was suddenly applied. Then the VSA warning light came on — when I turned off the engine and restarted the car, the light did not come back on until this happened again a few days later.

The service manager at Acura said he has never heard of this before. What do you think?

This is crazy! If the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) indicator illuminated while driving there will be a diagnostic trouble code stored. My guess is this was a phone conversation and the TL has not yet been checked out by a technician. VSA is a super smart and typically trouble-free system that looks for a difference between driver intention and vehicle conditions to mitigate loss of control. Sensors track steering wheel position, yaw rate (actual vehicle turning), lateral acceleration (sideways force), vehicle speed, and additional inputs. If a slide or spin condition appears eminent, the antilock brake and engine

A:

management computers team up to apply individual wheel brakes and adjust throttle to reel in the vehicle.

On-board VSA diagnostics on this car are excellent. I counted 49 possible trouble codes for the system for such things as intermittent conditions or electrical noise in sensor circuits, loss of communication between modules, and many more rare but possible faults. I’d insist on having the TL scan tool interrogated as soon as possible, before the trouble code(s) self erase. This is a rare problem, but serious, and with the right approach, is fixable.

I am experiencing an awQ: ful burned oil/hot motor smell from the air vents when I am stopped in traffic or slow crawling in traffic. When I start going again the smell is completely gone. I have changed the cabin filter and used a $10 can of mold cleaner in the system that didn’t work. I would be interested in your thoughts.

This sounds like a classic case of engine valve cover oil leakage or possibly leakage from another area that drips to the exhaust system. You didn’t mention the

A:

type of vehicle or engine, but the odors listed are generic to just about any car or truck on the road. An engine has a valve cover for each cylinder bank — some engines have one, others two. Leakage from the cover’s perimeter seal typically runs down to the exhaust manifold and burns, often without showing drips on the driveway. This is usually a harmless but annoying condition. Your ventilation system draws incoming air from vents at the base of the windshield.

Should the fit or condition of the rubber seal along the back of the hood be less than perfect, engine odors are likely to be noticed within the cabin.

With the engine at operating temperature and odor evident, turn off the key, raise the hood, and carefully look for signs of feint smoke rising from any engine areas. If you can’t spot the offending area, try again later with the engine cool (safer to be near), checking more closely for signs of oil leakage with a flashlight.

Minor seepage from seals is normal, wet oil drips aren’t.

Chrysler overhauls production in 3-D

By Alisa Priddle Detroit Free Press

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — The ability to map out the intricate machinery and processes of a powertrain plant in 3-D is saving Chrysler money and development time while improving quality, said Brian Harlow, head of NAFTA powertrain operations and global powertrain manufacturing engineering.

The modeling system is key to the speedy transformation of a transmission plant in Kokomo, Ind., to make new 8- and 9-speed transmissions that Chrysler will roll out across its lineup to improve the fuel efficiency of its vehicles.

The ability to visualize every inch of a plant, including people, parts, robots and other equipment, and then virtually test how well they work together helps employees find and fix issues that might delay a launch and prove expensive to fix once the real equipment and people are in place.

“We’re on an accelerated plan because we were able to set up the processes,” Harlow told reporters last Sunday, on the eve of his presentation Monday at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars here.

Harlow was almost giddy in describing the powerful 3-D

modeling data Chrysler has at its fingertips from a relationship with Strategic Manufacturing Solutions of Auburn Hills, Mich., which started supplying the detailed software two years ago.

The software allows Chrysler to design efficient powertrain plants that reduce waste of materials, effort or space, Harlow said.

Three-dimensional modeling was already being used to design vehicle assembly plants.

“For powertrain, there was nothing out there,” Harlow said.

“Powertrain is so much more complicated with machining, tooling and gauging.”

7-MINUTE SOLUTION

TEACH YOUR KIDS ABOUT MONEY Dave Ramsey, author of The Total Money Makeover, on the four words they need to understand

1

Work. Children need to feel

the emotional connection between work and money. One way to establish it: Pay kids commissions, not allowances.

They’ll learn that if they work, they’ll get paid; if they don’t, they won’t. That’s the rule for parents—it should go for kids, too.

2

Save. Teach your kids early on to sock away funds for future purchases. If they learn how (and why) to set aside money for a Barbie today, they’ll know how (and why) to save up for a car or house tomorrow.

The Hottest Concept in Hair Removal!

Safe To Use On Body & Facial Hair No Pain: Like the pain you get with waxing or other methods.

Safe: OK to use on facial hair, legs, arms, back and bikini line.

Affordable: A fraction of the cost of other professional methods.

Easy To Use: Just glide over skin to remove hair.

Smooth Results: No nicks, cuts, razor bumps or ingrown hairs.

Long Lasting: Hair grows back much slower and finer.

For Everyone: Women and men, all hair colors and skin types.

the awesome feeling of buying something they’ve saved up for. If all their money stays in the piggy bank and they never get to enjoy it, they’ll either grow up to be misers or rebel and become crazy, debt-ridden spendthrifts once they hit college.

giving is the most fun they can have with their money. Just make sure it’s theirs. If you hand your child a quarter to drop into the street-corner Santa’s bucket, he’s just delivering your money. He needs to know how it feels to take the coin out of his own pocket.

By Marilyn vos Savant Scientists say water is required for life on other planets. But alien life forms would be wildly different. Why do we assume they’d need water? —Beth Mack, Fort Atkinson, Wis.

Though water seems ordinary to us, it is composed of a unique combination of properties that are critical to carbon-based life arising in the first place, and the same laws of chemistry and physics apply to all parts of the universe. Biochemical reactions require a fluid to operate in, and everything will dissolve in liquid water to some degree.

Enzymes—proteins that speed up chemical reactions sufficiently to make some form of life possible—work only with water.

The list of properties goes on and on. The ubiquity of liquid water (not water vapor or ice, which are widely found on other celestial bodies) on Earth is what

has allowed life not merely to exist but to flourish. Noncarbon-based life (in which a fluid such as liquid ammonia or methane is the critical substance) is technically possible, but only in theory. There are other hypothetical forms of biochemistry, but the likelihood of any of them being a reality is extremely slim due to the properties of the elements involved. So the search for liquid water makes sense. It’s by far the most likely road to finding life, which will be wildly different, regardless. ®

J JUST A FEW years ago, California’s Santa Ana High School looked like it had long outlived its art deco grandeur. The 1935 building was dilapidated, overcrowded, and scarred with graffiti.

Roofs leaked. Sewage backed up in pipes. Some buildings had no mechanical ventilation. The wiring was in “various levels of dysfunction,” says assistant superintendent Joe Dixon. “Computers would go down. Lighting would go down.

In the few places where we had air-conditioning, that would go down.” In one building, makeshift classroom partitions forced teachers to shout over one another’s lessons. Between the noise and the heat, “it was hard to focus on my work,” says Elvis Carranza, 16, an incoming senior at Santa Ana. “It made me not want to go to school at all.” What’s more, 34 portable buildings (i.e., trailers) had turned parts of the campus into a labyrinth—surrounded by chainlink fencing that, in Dixon’s words, “made it look like if you could get in, you were never going to get out.”

The sad truth is, Santa Ana High was like thousands of other schools across the United States.

Talk of fixing American education tends to focus on teacher retention, test scores, and graduation rates— but we often overlook an equally serious problem: crumbling, anti-

OF SCHOOL MAKEOVERS The average public school in this country is more than 40 years old—and showing its age.

quated facilities facil ilities that are hostile to llearning i and d depressing to the children and teachers who spend many of their waking hours there.

An estimated 40 percent of the nation’s 100,000 public schools are in “bad to poor condition,” according to Glen Earthman, Ed.D., a

professor emeritus of educational administration at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. Today, the average U.S. public school is over 40 years old. The 21st Century School Fund, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., that advocates for healthy and safe learning envi-

ronments, calculates that it would take $271 billion to bring all of those buildings up to a decent standard. But some communities have taken matters into their own hands to fund the improvements their kids need. Here are two such success stories.

OR PEOPLE in Santa Ana, a city of more than 300,000 located 30 miles south of Los Angeles, the second-rate school facilities were unacceptable. Many residents are immigrants; they often work multiple jobs and share bedrooms in overcrowded apartments. Twenty-eight percent of the city’s children live in poverty. Yet Santa Ana’s parents have ambitious dreams for their kids.

“They want us to do better,” says Carranza, one of five children of a Mexican-born seamstress. His mother, who as a child often walked past the schoolhouse in her village near Santa María del Oro, Jalisco, but never set foot inside, vowed that her own children would have more opportunity. “My mama always told me that the reason she came here,” he says, “was so we could make something of ourselves.”

Raising taxes would not be easy in a city that in 2004 was ranked No. 1 for “urban hardship” by the Rockefeller Institute of Government. But in 2008, Santa Ana residents voted two to one for a $200 million bond issue that would improve the city’s 56 public schools. The resulting property-tax increase—less than $100 per year for a modest house—meant collective belt tightening. “We saw parents picking up recyclables just to make ends meet,” says Maria Cante, the high school’s community and family outreach liaison.

But relatively few complained, she says—they knew that better schools would give their children a surer shot at higher education.

More than $40 million went to overhauling Santa Ana High, one of the district’s neediest schools, an effort that was completed over the

past three years. Among many improvements, the auditorium was renovated seat by seat, with hightech lighting and sound added.

(Community groups now use the auditorium and other school facilities year-round.) Workers tore down fences and laid an elegant promenade to help make the

entrance more inviting. Assistant superintendent Dixon secured an additional $41 million from the state, including an overcrowdingrelief grant to help replace the trailers with a two-story classroom building. With more than an acre reclaimed, Santa Ana High once again resembled a true campus.

Since the modernization, vandalism has virtually ceased and attendance has inched up. Eightynine percent of seniors had passed the California High School Exit Exam by this past March, compared with 82 percent in 2011.

Teachers say students have grown more engaged. “If you feel valued, it inspires you to pay more attention and work harder,” Carranza says.

HE PROBLEMS facing America’s school buildings are not always visible ones. Poor ventilation causes asthma, headaches, fatigue, and nausea, making it harder to concentrate and boosting absenteeism. Hot and cold classrooms, external noise, and insufficient light all undermine teaching. “We know that when the heat gets up to 78, 80 degrees, the learning curve drops precipitously,” says Earthman. “When a student can’t see the writing surface, when a student can’t hear the teacher, there is a measurable effect.”

A Class Action Settlement About Chinese Drywall May Affect You A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit involving drywall imported to the U.S. from China. The lawsuit claims that this Chinese Drywall caused property damage and personal injuries.

of the 21st Century School Fund. But, not surprisingly, they tend to be located in the most affluent communities.

Elsewhere—in cities, older suburbs, and rural areas— many schools remain “unhealthy, unsafe, depressing places,” she says.

Take a look across the United States and it becomes obvious that when it comes to infrastructure, equality in education remains an unrealized ideal. When it rains in Reading, Pa., “we have classrooms in which A CAMPUS BLOOMS IN SANTA ANA, CALIF. t h e re i s a c t u a l l y a Widespread poverty didn’t waterfall coming over stop the city’s residents from the lights,” says Bryan voting to fund a school facelift. Today, the once cramped, Sanguinito, president of graffiti-strewn high school the Reading Education campus is modern and inviting.

The companies being sued are distributors, suppliers, builders, developers, and installers who were associated with Chinese Drywall. Some of these companies (“Participating Defendants”) and some of their insurance companies (“Participating Insurers”) have agreed to a Settlement. The Participating Defendants and the Participating Insurers deny they did anything wrong.

Who’s Included?

You are likely included in the Class if you have any claim for property damage or personal injuries related to Chinese Drywall installed anywhere in the U.S., except for in Virginia. For the specific legal definition of the Class, please visit the website or call the phone number below.

What Can You Get? Under the Settlement, Participating Defendants and Participating Insurers will contribute $80 million into a Settlement Fund. At a later date, after other Chinese Drywall Settlements are resolved, the Court will approve a plan to distribute the Settlement Fund to Class Members. At that time, Class Members may receive payments for their damages. You can register at the website below to be updated if a claims process is available.

Your Other Rights If you do nothing, you remain in the Class and you may be eligible to receive Settlement benefits. You will be bound by all the Court’s decisions. If you do not want to be legally bound by the Settlement, you must exclude yourself from the Settlement. The deadline to exclude yourself is September 28, 2012. If you do not exclude yourself you will not be able to sue the Participating Defendants or the Participating Insurers for any claim relating to the lawsuit. If you stay in the Settlement, you may object to all or part of it by September 28, 2012. The Court will hold a hearing on November 13, 2012 to consider whether to approve the Settlement. The Court has appointed attorneys to represent the Class. If you wish, you or your own attorney may ask to appear and speak at the hearing at your own cost.

This notice is only a summary. Use the information below to get detailed information, and to register to receive future notifications about this Settlement and related Chinese Drywall Settlements.

In Beloit, Wis., “we’ve shut down certain wings of buildings [because] of air-quality issues,” says superintendent Steve McNeal.

PHOTOS: COURTESY OF SANTA ANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Las Vegas sometimes forces administrators to cool off students by distributing ice pops, reports The Las Vegas Sun. Much of the disparit y between school districts is a function of how educational facilities are funded. It’s typically a local responsibility, and communities have wildly varying tax bases; those with the highest household incomes spend almost three times as much on school construction as the poorest ones.

Struggling districts know they need better buildings. But their leaders say they can’t fix what they can’t afford to, particularly in a stalled economy.

According to state and local authorities, the aging schools in New Bedford, Mass.—some more than a century old—have suffered mold infestation and registered alarming carbon dioxide levels. Many have “no facilities for computer labs, for music, for special needs,” says school committee member John Fletcher. But with state funding slashed, the district has laid off most of its custodial staff and put building improvements on hold to avoid massive teacher cuts. “Keeping class size small is the first priority,” Fletcher says.

Until state and federal governments fill the gap, inequalities will persist. Filardo, who thinks about these issues full time in her post at the 21st Century School Fund, knows the obstacles are huge. “But the American people, in their communities, have been willing to tackle major initiatives,” Filardo says. She is encouraged by districts like Santa Ana that continued on page 15

QUIZ

Don’t Know Much About History?

Never fear: Research shows you can make learning easier—you just have to know what works and what doesn’t. Raise your test scores with our back-to-school quiz. BY ANNIE MURPHY PAUL

1

True or false: Intelligence is fixed—either you’re good at learning or you’re not.

Answer: False. In fact, Stanford University research found that simply believing you can work at becoming smarter produces higher achievement.

2

Answer: False. Sleep is when our brains consolidate, or make permanent, what we’ve learned— meaning that staying up to cram is likely to be counterproductive. Some experts even suggest taking a nap right after you’ve learned something g new.

6

Answer: (b). Recalling information is far more effective than passively reading it over. That’s because testing doesn’t simply measure what you know—it reinforces what you know, says psychologist Henry Roediger III, Ph.D., of Washington University in St. Louis.

Every time you summon facts from memory, you strengthen your brain’s hold on the material.

Answer: (b). As fun as that game sounds, research demonstrates we’re most engaged in learning when our motivation is intrinsic— stemming from the task itself rather than some external reward.

Your son just started music lessons.

To motivate himself to practice, he should: (a) Promise himself a favorite video game if he completes his practice schedule. (b) Choose pieces of music that he enjoys playing.

LEARN MORE ABOUT LEARNING! Boost your educational IQ with more quiz questions at Parade.com/learn

3

Your son has a high-stakes college interview coming up. To quell his anxiety, he should: (a) Psych himself up by reminding himself how important it is to do well. (b) Focus on trying to calm his physical reactions, like a racing pulse. (c) Set aside 10 minutes beforehand to write about his fears.

Answer: (c). Off-loading anxieties by putting them down on paper frees your working memory—the mental space for thinking and problem solving—to focus on the task before you.

4

Your kid needs to learn some Spanish for a class trip. To make the new vocabulary stick, she should: (a) Space out study sessions over several weeks. (b) Spend a few hours cramming on the plane.

Answer: (a). Research on what’s known as the “spacing effect” shows that we form stronger and more lasting memories by exposing ourselves to información over time. Repeated cycles of learning, consolidating, and then reencountering material fix it firmly in our minds.

7

Your kid just made the golf team but needs to improve his putting. Which is the most effective way for him to practice? (a) Practice for an hour each day without pausing. (b) Ask a golf pro to point out his errors and help fix them. (c) Hit the course with a less experienced golfer to bolster his self-confidence.

Answer: (b). To master any A skill, sk you must eliminate mistakes.

Find a coach or m critic cr who can tell you whether you’re doing w something wrong, and then so repeat the correct way until re it becomes second nature.

A University of Texas at Austin study of the practice Au routines of virtuoso ro pianists found that what pi separated them from less se accomplished players was ac the th amount of attention they th paid to errors.

ILLUSTRATIONS: CHIP WASS

True or false: In a pinch, pulling an all-nighter can be an effective way to learn new material quickly.

5

Next week your daughter has to give a big speech.

The best way for her to prepare is to: (a) Look over her notes a few times. (b) Quiz herself, trying to recall the material from memory. (c) Read out loud from her presentation outline.

BRIEF 𰀴𰀶𰀮𰀮𰀢𰀳𰀺 This summary does not take the place of talking to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment. See full Prescribing Information for complete product information.

What is the most important information I should know about ADVAIR DISKUS? ADVAIR DISKUS can cause serious side effects, including: 1. People with asthma who take long-acting beta 2 -adrenergic agonist (LABA) medicines, such as salmeterol (one of the medicines in ADVAIR DISKUS), have an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether fluticasone propionate, the other medicine in ADVAIR DISKUS, reduces the risk of death from asthma problems seen with salmeterol. 𰁴𰀁𰀁𰀁Call your healthcare provider if breathing problems worsen over time while using ADVAIR DISKUS. You may need different treatment. 𰁴𰀁 Get emergency medical care if: - breathing problems worsen quickly and - you use your rescue inhaler medicine, but it does not relieve your breathing problems.

2. ADVAIR DISKUS should be used only if your healthcare provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine, such as inhaled corticosteroids.

3. When your asthma is well controlled, your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking ADVAIR DISKUS.

- Inhaled corticosteroids help to decrease inflammation in the lungs. Inflammation in the lungs can lead to asthma symptoms.

- LABA medicines are used in people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). LABA medicines help the muscles around the airways in your lungs stay relaxed to prevent symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath.

These symptoms can happen when the muscles around the airways tighten. This makes it hard to breathe. In severe cases, wheezing can stop your breathing and cause death if not treated right away. 𰁴𰀁𰀁𰀢 𰀥𰀷𰀢𰀪𰀳𰀁𰀥𰀪𰀴𰀬𰀶𰀴𰀁𰁊𰁔𰀁𰁖𰁔𰁆𰁅𰀁𰁇𰁐𰁓𰀁𰁂𰁔𰁕𰁉𰁎𰁂𰀁𰁂𰁏𰁅𰀁𰀤𰀰𰀱𰀥𰀁𰁂𰁔𰀁𰁇𰁐𰁍𰁍𰁐𰁘𰁔𰀛𰀁 Asthma ADVAIR DISKUS is used to control symptoms of asthma and to prevent symptoms such as wheezing in adults and children aged 4 years and older.

COPD COPD is a chronic lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50 is used long term, 2 times each day to help improve lung function for better breathing in adults with COPD. ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50 has been shown to decrease the number of flare-ups and worsening of COPD symptoms (exacerbations).

Of course, not every old school can be renovated like Santa Ana High. Some need to be rebuilt from scratch. But even new construction can be made more affordable. One way is to go green.

IGHT HERE we can show off the solar tubes,” says Carter Ford as he leads two guests through Richardsville Elementary School in Kentucky’s Warren County. He’s demonstrating a technology that dramatically cuts lighting costs at this rural school. “They’re aluminum cylinders, and on the top there’s a little dome. It collects the sunlight and reflects it a bunch of times. Then, with the glass, it’s able to magnify it and spread it out through the room.” Ford looks up at his visitors and beams with pride.

He is lanky, mop-topped—and just 12 years old.

Richardsville Elementary sits across from a cattle pasture nine miles north of Bowling Green. More than three-quarters of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Until 2010, classes were held in a beloved but obsolete 60-year-old building with dismal lighting and no handicapped access. “We had mice in the walls eating the wiring,” recalls one teacher, who requested anonymity. “We had mold problems, habitual bronchitis, allergies, sinus infections—teachers and kids.”

Clearly, the old school needed to be replaced. By district policy, that meant building green, which typically doesn’t cost more up front but can yield big returns. Since 2003, Warren County’s school system has focused on conserving energy in construction and operations and continued on page 17 calculates that it has saved $7 million and avoided

MATCH WITS WITH KEN!

Play the game he created for PARADE— and look for it in future issues.

Kennections

What was it like to lose to IBM supercomputer Watson on the show last year?

I had actually taken artificialintelligence classes, and suddenly it was like my own tools were turning against me on national TV! I thought Watson was amazing. It felt like being a part of the future.

Do you consider yourself very smart?

People assume I must be working in a lab somewhere doing equations on a blackboard. But answering trivia questions is not the same as being Stephen Hawking. I’ve just always been a curious guy who likes learning new things.

Ken Jennings The Jeopardy! champ on his lifelong love of trivia and the one question he finds hard to answer

K

en Jennings, 38, took the game show world by storm in 2004 with his record-breaking 74-game winning streak on Jeopardy! (during which he earned more than $2.5 million), but he hasn’t let fame or fortune go to his head. “I still drive the same 2000 Corolla, which is sort of embarrassing,” he tells Erin Hill. The former computer software engineer, who lives outside Seattle with his wife and their two children, ages 9 and 5, has parlayed his trivia talents into a new career. In addition to writing best-selling books, he has created a special puzzle for PARADE called Kennections, which

launches here. “The pun was not my idea,” he says, “unless you like it—then it was my idea!”

PARADE Were you always into trivia?

Yeah. One of the first books I owned was a kids’ crossword puzzle book.

And I loved game shows. I remember crying on the first day of kindergarten because I realized I was going to miss Family Feud.

Do you still watch Jeopardy!?

I have a hard time enjoying it the way I used to. I’ll hear the music or Alex Trebek’s voice and I’ll immediately get very tense, like it’s game time. I can’t relax on the

Do you find yourself using Google much?

I’m actually obsessed with it. For a trivia guy, the age of Google is an amazing thing. I’m always the first one Googling the answer to something.

Do people try to stump you with trivia questions?

It happens. I was trying to get into a hotel in St. Louis recently and the doorman wouldn’t let me in unless I named all nine U.S. vice presidents who acceded to the presidency. He was very happy because I missed one—Gerald Ford. People want me to get things wrong; that’s what I’ve discovered!

How do you like life in the Seattle area?

We love it. It’s where I’m from originally. Thanks to Jeopardy!, I have a little savings and can afford a house here. This part of the country is beautiful, and we like to get out and enjoy it, when it’s not drizzling.

You’re known as the man with all the answers, but what’s your weakness?

I almost never know where my car keys are! I’m sort of absentminded.

By Ken Jennings HOW TO PLAY

All five correct answers have something in common.

Can you figure out what it is?

Of the six weapons in the classic board game Clue, which was invented first, dating back to prehistoric times?

2

U2 named its 2005–06 tour for this hit single, which begins with Bono counting off “Uno, dos, tres, catorce!”

3

What crystal is the November birthstone when orange and the state gem of Texas when blue?

teacher layoffs as a result. That has helped secure bipartisan political support. “When you build highperformance facilities, you save money,” says State Rep. Jim DeCesare, a local Republican (and construction firm executive) who cochairs the Kentucky Green Schools Caucus.

For the new Richardson Elementary, school officials asked Louisville architect Kenny Stanfield to design the nation’s first public school to produce more energy than it consumes.

“We had to rethink everything,” says Stanfield—from the placement of classrooms to how bathroom sinks turned on.

The building that resulted uses a quarter of the energy of an average school. Geothermal pumps, which rely on the earth’s steady underground temperatures, supply the heating and cooling. Solar tubes reduce the need for artificial lights. Sensors detect when a room is occupied (and by how many people) and adjust lighting and ventilation accordingly. The kitchen uses steam convection ovens rather than deep-fat fryers, which saves electricity and results in healthier food. And 2,700 rooftop solar panels produce enough power to allow the district to sell excess energy back to the grid.

But what really makes Richardsville Elementar y stand out—beyond the sunlit corridors and cutting-edge technology—is how conservation is woven into the fabric of everyday learning. Geothermal temperature gauges are exposed for children to monitor. So is a pipe that collects rainwater

The CDC now also recommends routine vaccination for boys 11–12 years old.

Boys can be affected by HPV disease too.

GARDASIL HELPS PROTECT BOTH YOUR SON AND DAUGHTER.

When it comes to human papillomavirus (HPV), females are only half the equation. There are 30 to 40 types of HPV that will affect an estimated 75% to 80% of males and females in their lifetime. For most, HPV clears on its own. But, for others who don’t clear certain types, HPV could cause cervical cancer in females and other types of HPV could cause genital warts in both males and females.

And there’s no way to predict who will or won’t clear the virus.

GARDASIL is the only HPV vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases.

In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 90% of genital warts cases.

GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings.

GARDASIL does not treat cervical cancer or genital warts.

GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL, including those severely allergic to yeast, should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant.

The side effects include pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. Fainting can happen after getting GARDASIL. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your child’s health care professional may ask your child to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after he or she gets GARDASIL. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff. This may require evaluation or treatment by your child’s health care professional.

Only a doctor or health care professional can decide if GARDASIL is right for your child.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Please read the Patient Information on the next page and discuss it with your child’s doctor or health care professional.

Talk to your child’s doctor about GARDASIL.
