A nearly-frozen mirror

By Alysha Beck, The World

A great blue heron takes flight over the Coalbank Slough near Libby Lane on Tuesday’s frosty morning. The forecast is calling for more chilly mornings, but not quite as cold as last weekend.

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) —Algerian forces raided a remoteSahara gas plant on Thursday in anattempt to free dozens of foreignhostages held by militants with tiesto Mali’s rebel Islamists, diplomatssaid. Islamic militants claimed that35 hostages and 15 militants werekilled after Algerian military heli-copters strafed the area but saidseven hostages survived.

Islamists with the MaskedBrigade, who have been speakingthrough a Mauritanian news out-let, said the Algerians opened fireas the militants tried to leave thevast Ain Amenas energy complex

with their hostages a day afterseizing the installation deep in thedesert.

Algerian forces had surroundedthe complex in a tense standoffsince the plant was seized earlyWednesday and had vowed not tonegotiate with the kidnappers,who reportedly were seeking safepassage.

President Barack Obama’s gov-ernment offered military assis-tance Wednesday to help rescuethe hostages, but the Algerian gov-ernment refused, a U.S. officialsaid in Washington. He spoke oncondition of anonymity.

COOS BAY — City officialscould welcome street vendors todowntown streets as soon asMarch.

The City Council this weekgave the go-ahead for the city’sstaff to draft an ordinance gov-erning food carts and other streetvendors. Staff members alreadyhad produced a list of 11 proposedrules, which City ManagerRodger Craddock described asloose and simple.

“We didn’t want to make it tooonerous and prevent anyone fromgetting into business,” said Crad-dock. “It can almost be like abusiness incubator situation forsome people.”

The primary concern aboutvendors is that established busi-nesses might have to fight ontheir own doorsteps for cus-tomers. So the rules will requireany vendor to stay at least 50 feetfrom a similar business. Forinstance, a hot dog vendor muststeer clear of any restaurant.

Vendors also must stay at least

10 feet away from the entrance ofa building where business isbeing conducted.

Other restrictions are alreadyin effect, such as a state law thatbans vendors along U.S. Highway101.

Craddock said the city’s ruleswon’t be overly restrictive. Saleor consumption of alcoholic bev-erages is off-limits. Most of theother rules are safety-related.

After reviewing the proposedrules, the council asked for only

FROM LOCAL ANDWIRE SERVICE REPORTS

From Coos County to Mississip-pi, President Barack Obama’s pro-posed ban on new assault weaponsand large-capacity magazinesstruck a nerve among rural lawmenand lawmakers.

But Coos County Sheriff CraigZanni refrained from joining ahandful of Oregon sheriffs whovowed to ignore any new restric-tions.

“I will enforce the laws we haveto the best of my abilities,” he saidin a phone interview today.

Zanni released a letter to CoosCounty residents on Wednesday,

affirming his support for the Sec-ond Amendment. Specifically, healluded to legislative efforts tomake Oregon sheriffs reveal the

identities of con-ceal weapons per-mittees.

“I will continueto be an avid sup-porter of Oregon’sConcealed Hand-gun License Pro-gram and in pro-tecting the confi-dential personalinformation of

each license holder,” Zanni said inhis letter.

But Zanni didn’t join some Ore-

gon sheriffs, who say they’ll ignorelaws they deem unconstitutional.

“A lot of sheriffs are now stand-ing up and saying, ‘Follow the Con-stitution,’” said Josephine CountySheriff Gil Gilbertson.

The sheriffs’ actual powers todefy federal law are limited. Andmuch of the impassioned rhetoricamounts to political posturinguntil — and if — Congress acts.

Senate Majority Leader HarryReid, a Democrat, said Wednesdayit’s unlikely an assault weapons banwould actually pass the House ofRepresentatives. Absent action byCongress, all that remains are 23executive orders Obamaannounced that apply only to the

federal government, not local orstate law enforcement.

Gun advocates have seen Obamaas an enemy despite his expressionof support for the interpretation ofthe Second Amendment as a per-sonal right to have guns. So his callfor new measures — includingbackground checks for all gun buy-ers and Senate confirmation of adirector of the Bureau of Alcohol,Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives— triggered new vows of defiance.

In Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant,a Republican, urged the Legislatureto make it illegal to enforce anyexecutive order by the presidentthat violates the Constitution.

“If someone kicks open my door

and they’re entering my home, I’dlike as many bullets as I could toprotect my children, and if I onlyhave three, then the ability for meto protect my family is greatlydiminished,” Bryant said. “Andwhat we’re doing now is saying,‘We’re standing against the federalgovernment taking away our civilliberties.’”

Tennessee Republican state Rep.Joe Carr wants to make it a statecrime for federal agents to enforceany ban on firearms or ammuni-tion. Carr instead called for morearmed guards at schools.

“We’re tired of political antics,

COOS BAY — While not everyone is happyabout Coos Bay’s 4-day school week, one localnonprofit has found educational opportunityin the condensed schedule.

The Coos Watershed Association last weekfinished the second semester of its MasterStewards Program — a course whose very exis-tence is tied to the 4-day week.

Bessie Joyce, education outreach coordina-tor for the association, said the group has triedto use the new schedule to bolster students’science and math skills in a hands-on way.

“We saw that as an opportunity to workwith students on Fridays,” Joyce said.

Marshfield High School students spent Fri-days working at the Matland Creek WetlandPreserve alongside association staff members.They completed hands-on field exercises inbiology and wetlands management practices.

Each student was part of a group researchproject, covering such subjects as water quali-ty and wetland habitat restoration practices.

The course is conducted as an extension ofOregon State University’s Master WatershedStewards program. The program is intended topromote awareness of watershed issues andmanagement.

“They developed this program for adultsthat would help people get a grasp on how towork with watershed associations,” said Joyce.

Participating students earned college creditthrough Southwestern Oregon Community Col-lege, and conducted research projects on topicssuch as water quality and stream improvement.

During spring semester, students will dorestoration work at Pony Slough in NorthBend.

“We’re looking at it as an urban habitat cen-ter of the community,” said Joyce.

Answer: The windy coastal weather oftendisrupts transmission of television channelsto local residents. But Tim Hershiser, engi-neer for KSLR and KEVU, says such inter-ruptions are always temporary. Coos Bay res-idents should be receiving KEVU and KSLRchannels without issue.

KEVU’s website says, “Many factors canaffect your ability to receive our signal,including terrain shielding from the trans-mitter site, interference from appliances andother electronics, and type of antenna used.In some cases an outdoor antenna and signalamplifier may be required.”

To residents who are having troublereceiving the signal, Hershiser suggests firstchecking to make sure the antenna hasn’tmoved. Also make sure salt in the air hasn’tcorroded the connectors.

Another possibility: Hershiser said the

stations can also appear on 23-1, a virtualchannel.

Hershiser encourages viewers to call thestation if they have trouble receiving thechannels. An engineer would be happy towalk you through possible solutions to theproblem.

The station has a return monitor in CoosBay that shows engineers exactly what isbeing broadcast. But because it is a digitalsignal, they can’t see whether the signal isweak or strong. They rely on the public toinform them about that.

Drawing a blank on TV receptionQuestion: I want to know why I haven’t been receiving channels KEVUand KSLR in the Green Acres area since last spring.

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaberstruck the right tone Monday in hisState of the State speech, as did theother two Democrats whoaddressed the 2013 Legislature —Senate President Peter Courtneyof Salem and House Speaker TinaKotek of Portland. They empha-sized that legislative success willcome from paying as much atten-tion to the needs of rural Oregoni-ans as to urban areas.

Oregon’s slumbering economy— especially outside the Portlandmetro area — remains the state’sNo. 1 challenge, and it should be theLegislature’s No. 1 priority. Eco-nomic recovery is meaningless,Kitzhaber said, if the Portland areareturns to pre-recession employ-ment levels but much of rural Ore-gon still suffers from “double-digitunemployment, outdated infra-structure and an aging workforce.”

The message of K itzhaber,Courtney and Kotek was: We’re allin this together, rural and urban,Republican and Democrat.

The task is to govern in that spir-it on a daily basis — to tackle themonstrous budget challenges cre-ated by a bulging public pensionsystem, a bulging state prison sys-tem and a bulging health care sys-tem.

Those bulges block one road toan improved economy: re-invest-ing in education and in helpingyoung children get on the rightpath from the very beginning.

Most Oregonians shareKitzhaber’s passion for publiceducation and for political collab-oration. The test, for him and forthe Legislature, will be to notmerely pay attention to the diverseneeds of rural and urban Oregoni-ans but to act on those issues —

effectively and expeditiously.–– TThhee SSttaatteessmmaann JJoouurrnnaall,, SSaalleemm

Move quickly to helpstruggling homeowners

Fixing Oregon’s mortgage media-tion program should be near the topof the Legislature’s issues that needto be addressed immediately to helpOregonians who are struggling.

Banks have largely shunned themediation program, which waslaunched in July, in part becausethey believe the authorizing bill is

unclear and exposes them to liabili-ty.

In many ways, the program neverhad a chance because of an unfortu-nately timed court ruling thatrestricted lenders’ use of MortgageElectronic Registration Systems,which was created to streamline themortgage documentation process.Lenders appealed to the OregonSupreme Court, which heard argu-ments last week.

A Supreme Court ruling mightnot come until late in the legislativesession. Meanwhile, lenders mostlyhave shifted from non-judicial fore-closures to court-supervised fore-closures, which are more costly andtime-consuming.

Rather than wait on the court rul-ing, the Legislature needs to provideclarity for lenders and the thousandsof Oregonians who still need helpholding onto their homes.

Sens. Brian Boquist, R-Dallas,and Lee Beyer, D-Springfield, planto introduce legislation to closeloopholes in the 2012 bill. Their goalis create a short-term way to estab-lish clear title for foreclosures untilthe Supreme Court rules.

Title questions will linger in Ore-gon until the Supreme Court ruleson MERS. That’s why, in addition tocleaning up language in the 2012 bill,the Legislature should at least tem-porarily extend mediation to judicialforeclosures.

Depending on what the SupremeCourt determines on MERS, theLegislature might need to revisit theforeclosure issue later. But to helptroubled homeowners and ensurethe housing recovery doesn’t losemomentum, it needs to repair its2012 bill as soon as possible.

Sue is dying to see “Les Miserables"; Ican’t wait to see “Django Unchained.” Shewants to see “Django” as much as shewants to eat giant sea slugs, and I want tosit through the three hours of “Les Mis” asmuch as I want to help her shop for purses.

“Have you seen the commercial for it?It’s all blood and gore and guns and death,”she says.

I say, “That’s why it’s called ‘miserable,’isn’t it?”

“You know I’m talking about ‘Django.’‘Les Mis’ is a musical.”

“Yeah, a musical about blood and goreand guns and death. The only difference isthey get to sing as they die, which is justdragging it out, if you ask me.”

Once again, we are at an impasse overwhich movie to see. The ones she likes to

watch are torture for me;the ones I like, she thinksare disgusting.

“What about ‘Lin-coln’?” she asks. “Every-one says it’s really great.Too bad he dies at the end.”

“Now you’ve wreckedit for me. You’re sup-posed to say ‘spoileralert’ before you blurt outthe end of a movie. I’llnever be able to enjoy itnow. How would you like

it if I told you what happened to the Titan-ic before you saw the film?”

“I knew what was going to happen. Ifknowing the ending of a movie spoils it foryou, it must not be a very good movie.Everyone knows what happens at the endof ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ but they still want tosee it,” Sue says.

“Well, don’t tell me. I haven’t seen it yet.”It’s not just movies. We have a “Down-

ton Abbey” gap in our house, too. Sue’sseen all the episodes twice; I haven’t beenable to get through a single one. It’s notthat I don’t like them, it’s that you have towatch them in order or you miss every-thing. I never saw the first episode, so I’mlost. You don’t have to watch the JamesBond or Jackie Chan movies in order. Youcan just dive in any old time and they stillmake sense.

I don’t know when our tastes started todiverge. Maybe we never liked all the samethings and just now — many, many yearslater — we’re willing to say so. When you’redating, you go the extra mile and do thingsyou may not like to do just to be with theother person. On the fourth date you cansay things like, “Sure, I’d love to come withyou to shop for fabric remnants.” In thesecond year of marriage, she might say,“Sure, go out drinking with your highschool buddies. Go have some fun.” Then,after 30 years, you find yourself watchingdifferent television shows in differentrooms. I’m watching the Billy Bob Thorn-ton festival on Spike TV, and she’s watch-ing extreme home makeovers on HGTV.

Maybe cable TV has done this to us. Backwhen there were only three channels, wealmost had to watch the same showstogether. I mean, can you remember whatwas on opposite “The Ed Sullivan Show"?Neither can I.

It’s not as if we disagree about everyfilm. Neither of us wants to go to teenageslasher movies with names like “The Chill-ing,” “The Grabbing” or “The Spooking.” Ifthere’s a gerund in the title, we pretty muchknow it’s not for The Ageing. We don’t haveknock-down drag-outs over the latestgross-out comedy, because neither of ushas any interest in it. We avoid anythingthat might attract small children, so there’sno need for discussion.

So we end up double-dating with a cou-ple we know who have the same problemswe do agreeing on a movie. Sue and Sallywill go see “Les Mis” at the multiplex, whileBob and I will go down the hall to “Django,”and we’ll all meet at a restaurant for dinner.Bob and I just hope it’s not that health-foodplace they dragged us to last time.

Fear the right’sagenda, not left

Your Tuesday, Jan. 15, edito-rial says: “The danger in 2013 isthat a beefy Democratic Housemajority will impose a recklesslyliberal agenda.” But I am puzzledas to what such an agenda possi-bly could be?

Americans have a whole lot ofrecent bad experience with veryreckless conservative agendasbeing pushed and all too oftenpassed in Washington, D.C., and

many states, but nothing evenremotely comparable to theirextremism has even been pro-posed by liberals anywhere.

Frankly, Oregon probablywould be better off if some liber-al policies now can be enacted,as they more often than notactually do help us to move for-ward, rather than pass any moreconservative ones, since thosehave never worked out well formost people in the past.

Give me as manyshots as the crook

Lorraine Pool’s Jan. 3 letterasked why any person needed toown a rifle with the ability tohold 100 bullets. This disturbedme quite a bit. I had no idea thatthis is the weapon of choice ofcriminals and crazies, havingheard that this kind of rifle wasrarely used by criminals. Not so?

I live in the rural county, and ifI have need of law enforcement Icall the sheriff. Given that oursheriff’s department is woefully

understaffed, it seems I amcounting on being lucky enoughto find one of the patrollingdeputies near me when I call,and it feels like I am more or lesson my own if a person invadesmy home. For a while at least.And after reading this letter tothe editor, my six-shot revolverseems to be pitifully inadequatefor the task. I am consideringbuying something more appro-priate to the task of confrontinga bad guy with 100 bullets in hisrifle. Perhaps an assault rifle?

“We’re really up the creek.”That’s professor Keith Poole of

the University of Georgia talkingto NPR, and he knows what he’stalking about. His exhaustivestudy of congressional votingtrends yields this clear conclu-sion: Republicans are now moreconservative than they’ve been in100 years. This is particularlytrue in the House, where the GOPis dominated by what Politicocalls “the ‘hell no’ caucus.”

The implications are enor-mous — and disastrous. Thelast-minute deal to avoid the“fiscal cliff” was almost certain-ly a false signal of comity andc o o p e r a t i o n .Instead of build-ing on that com-promise, thereverse is hap-pening. Lines aregrowing harder.Heels are dig-ging deeper.Republican law-makers whobacked the dealare being excori-ated as selloutsby their owncolleagues. “Theones who voted for it, I thinkthey will rue the day,” saysRepublican Sen. Richard Shelbyof Alabama.

In the weeks ahead, Congressis facing three major fiscal deci-sions: raising the debt limit,funding the government anddealing with the drastic budgetcuts postponed for two monthson New Year’s Eve. But all thesigns are ominously negative.Senate Republican leader MitchMcConnell says additional rev-enues are off the table; HouseDemocratic leader Nancy Pelosisays they’re definitely on. Presi-

dent Barack Obama says hewon’t negotiate on the debt ceil-ing; House Speaker John Boehn-er says he won’t negotiate withObama on anything. And thenew Republican whip, Sen. JohnCornyn of Texas, threatens to“shut down the government” ifRepublican don’t get their way.

Up the creek, indeed.“There’s a lot of blame to go

around,” says Poole. Democratshave certainly become more liber-al, adding to the paralysis. But it’s“absolutely true,” he insists, thatthe blame is not equal: “Republi-cans have moved further to theright than the Democrats have

moved to the left.”There are sev-

eral underlyingreasons for thisshift, startingwith the way con-gressional dis-tricts are drawn.Gerrymanderinghas been part ofAmerican politicsfor 200 years, butthe advent ofhighly precise,computer-drivenmaps has created

entirely safe districts for the vastmajority of House members. Anessential element of democracy,accountability to the voters, hasbeen destroyed.

A lawmaker with no fear ofdefeat has no incentive to listento dissenters or cooperate withthe other side. In fact, manyGOP incumbents’ only real con-cern is a primary challenge fromthe right, which makes themeven more rigid and lessamenable to compromise.

Statistician Nate Silver hasgraphically detailed this trend inThe New York Times. Twenty

years ago, there were 103“swing” districts that could rea-sonably be won by either party.In the last election, that numberdropped to 35 out of 435 seats, orabout 8 percent. Meanwhile, thenumber of “landslide” districts,totally out of reach for one party,jumped from 123 to 242.

The problem goes deeper thana proliferation of safe districtsthat breed extremism. Funda-mental fairness has been badlyundermined. Redistrictingthwarts the popular will. If youcombine all House races,Democrats actually led byalmost 1.4 million votes, butRepublicans won 33 more seats.Yes, Democrats fleeced Republi-cans in a few states like Illinois,yet the GOP held the upper handin far more places. Obama wonPennsylvania by five points, yetDemocrats took only five of 18House seats. In Ohio, whereObama ran three points ahead,Democrats won four of 16 seats.

Redistricting is not the wholestory, however. Silver docu-ments the drastic decline ofticket-splitting voters, whichreinforces party fealty. Twentyyears ago, there were 69 districtsthat voted one way for president

and another for Congress; lastyear, that figure dropped to 12.

Then there is the phenomenonof “self-sorting,” in which “votersmay see their choice of where tolive as partly reflecting a politicaldecision,” notes Silver. So liberalsflock to the cities while conserva-tives move to the exurbs, furtheraccelerating polarization.

A final factor: the rapid growthof well-financed interest groupsthat threaten to mount primarychallenges against lawmakerswho dare to deviate from ideo-logical orthodoxy. One example:When Rep. Shelley Moore Capi-to, a moderate Republican fromWest Virginia, announced hercandidacy for the Senate, she wasimmediately attacked by conser-vative cadres as too squishy ontheir core issues.

“If Republicans in West Vir-ginia want to save their country,”fulminated a spokesman for theSenate Conservatives Fund,“they need to find another can-didate with the courage to say‘no’ to more spending and debt.”

So happy New Year. And passthe paddle.

DDEEAARR AABBBBYY:: My grand-mother is 75 years old and,unfortunately, very unpleas-ant to be around. She hasmade many hurtful remarksin the past, which have ledsome family members to shuther out of their lives.

I live in another state anddon’t see my grandmothervery often. I call her once ortwice a month. When I do,she’s nothing but pleasantwith me, but she’s oftenangry and tearful about othermembers of the family.

She feels her children andgrandchil-dren shouldrespect heras them a t r i a rc hof the fami-ly andinclude herin all familyget-togeth-ers. (Myfamily tellsme theyh a v es t o p p e dinviting her

to many functions becauseshe’s such a troublemaker.)

I’m concerned about mygrandmother and am begin-ning to think that my parentsand siblings should overlookher unpleasant behavior andoccasional snide remarks. Atthe very least they shouldinclude her in importantfamily functions. I’d be inter-ested in your opinion, so I canshare it with my family. —TROUBLED IN MINNESO-TA

DDEEAARR TTRROOUUBBLLEEDD:: Yourgrandmother appears to bereaping what she has sown.Verbal abuse often leavesscars on those at whom it isaimed, and no one can beblamed for wanting distancefrom a person who is deliber-ately hurtful.

Respect is something thathas to be earned. Your par-ents and siblings “respect”your grandmother from adistance because they havelearned it’s the only safe wayto do so.

Does this mean she shouldautomatically be excludedfrom all family get-togeth-ers? No. However, beforeshe’s invited to an importantevent, she should give assur-ances that she’ll watch hermouth and be on her bestbehavior. Or else.

If this seems heavy-hand-ed, so be it. It’s no crime toprotect oneself from some-one else's mean-spirited-ness.

DDEEAARR AABBBBYY:: Please allowme to share a dating tech-nique with your readers thathas saved me a lot of rela-tionship headaches. I call it“the 90-day rule.”

Whenever I start datingsomeone, I try to see them atleast once a week for 90 days.That way, if there are anycharacter flaws, I find outwithin the first 90 days.

Among the flaws I’ve dis-covered: drug dealing andaddiction, alcoholism, driv-ing without a valid licenseand with illegal license tags,and lying about their occu-pation.

The idea is to avoid sexualintimacy during those first90 days to keep your headclear. If you are intimate toosoon, you’ll find yourselfmaking excuses for yourpartner. This technique hasnever failed me — unless Imade an exception.

May I suggest your readerstry this 90-day rule? If theydo, I promise they won’t bedisappointed because it takesTIME to get to know some-one. Before you can lovesomeone, you must learnwho that person really is. —CLEARHEADED IN CLEAR-WATER, FLA.

DDEEAARR CCLLEEAARRHHEEAADDEEDD::Your 90-day rule makes a lotof sense. I have heard frommany readers who went toofar too fast because they feltthey had made an instantemotional connection. Iwarn them that physicalattraction should not be con-fused with love because whatthey’re really describing isinfatuation.

SALEM (AP) — TheOregon TransportationCommission has approvedan additional $142 million foran expensive, trouble-plagued project to realign asection of U.S. Highway 20through the Coast Range.

The stretch of highwaylinks Corvallis and Newport.

Agency to allow aircraftto use Waldo lake

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Astate agency says it wants tomake permanent its rulesallowing aircraft to useWaldo Lake in the CascadeRange, where lake users foryears have fought overengines.

The Eugene Register-Guard says advocates of a

ban won a large part of theargument in the spring,when the state Marine Boardvoted 3-2 to keep its ban onmotorboat internal combus-tion engines on Waldo.

But the board exemptedseaplanes, and the stateAviation Board allowed themwith temporary rules. It hasset a public hearing inSpringfield for Jan. 31 onpermanent rules.

A department officialsays that six seaplanes usedthe lake last summer.

STATED I G E S T

PORTLAND (AP) —Portland firefighters cut a holethrough concrete and used anair bag and a soapy lubricantto free an Oregon woman whofell and became stuck in a nar-row opening between build-ings Wednesday morning.

The woman spent aboutfour hours in a space 8 to 10inches wide. Local andnational cable news broad-cast footage of the rescueeffort and showed thewoman emerging from thespace at about 7:30 a.m.

The woman raised herface, clenched her fists andshouted, “Oh, my God.”

Firefighters said theyhadn’t gotten a clear expla-nation of how the woman gotinto the predicament. Lt.Rich Chatman of thePortland fire departmentsaid she had been seensmoking or walking on theroof of a two-story buildingbefore she fell about 10 to 12feet.

The woman was wedgedabout four feet above theground before rescuers

installed braces to supporther. Firefighters turned on aportable heater to keep herwarm in near-freezing tem-peratures while they droppedan air bag into the opening toslightly spread the walls.

“She was in good spirits,”Chatman said. “We just triedto reassure her ... we weren’tgoing home without her.”

After rescuers cut a win-dow-size opening in the con-crete wall, Chatman climbedin to help apply the soapysubstance. The woman thenwiggled toward the hole as therescue team tugged on her.

“It was so tight, it wasn’tuntil the last foot that shecould actually see me,”Chatman said. “She had thatlook in her eye that she wascoming out no matter what.”

She was taken to theOregon Health & ScienceUniversity hospital andappeared to be in good health,fire Lt. Damon Simmons said.Because she’s a patient, thedepartment won’t release hername unless she gives herconsent, he said.

HERMISTON (AP) — Theboiler that supplied heat for awing of a Hermiston ele-mentary school has bit thedust, so students are study-ing with a little more cloth-ing in rooms warmed byelectric space heaters.

Teacher Jessica Campbellsaid students at first woreextra layers of clothing as aprecaution, but most haven’tfound it necessary. The roomseach have two heaters and arechecked three times a day tomake sure temperatures arecomfortable, she said.

That doesn’t mean stu-dents are necessarily happy.

“I’m not really close tothe heater, so I don’t likethat,” said fifth-graderNicholas Keeney, 11.

A crack in the boilerbegan to spread as tempera-tures dipped into the teens.

“We started losing itaround Jan. 1, and we limpedit along for another week orso,” said M ike Kay,Hermiston school district’sdirector of support services.

The failure affected awing holding 12 classrooms.

A $60,000 replacementto the nearly 50-year-oldboiler will take another threeto four weeks to arrive.

President Barack Obama, accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday, gestures as he talksabout proposals to reduce gun violence.

WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obama isassembling an ambitioussecond-term agenda, push-ing aggressively where hethinks he has political lever-age but moving more cau-tiously on issues where hehas less control.

Obama is hiking pressureon congressional Republi-cans on the debt ceiling andimmigration, two big issuesin which public sentimentand political risks seem tofavor him.

His refusal to negotiate onthe debt ceiling is an espe-cially sharp departure fromhis usually accommodatingstyle. Obama is gambling thatRepublicans will yield to fearsof a ferocious public backlashif they leave the governmentunable to pay its bills in theirpush for spending cuts.

But it is a risk. Unresolvedbrinkmanship over the debtceiling could lead to an eco-nomic calamity that woulddamage Obama’s second term

and eventual legacy — not tomention Americans’ lives.

Meanwhile, outrage overthe Connecticut gradeschool massacre forced thepresident to seek a gun-con-trol package ahead of expec-tations. Americans haveresisted significant gun-lim-iting bids for years, however,and the pro-gun-rightslobby remains powerful.Also, there’s less Democraticunity on this issue than onmany others.

Obama’s allies already aredampening expectations onkey components, includingan assault weapons ban.

Vice President Joe Biden,who stood at Obama’s side asthe president announced hisproposals on Wednesday,said, “I have no illusionsabout what we’re up againstor how hard the task is infront of us. ... We should doas much as we can, as quick-ly as we can.”

Among the second term’stop-tier issues, immigration

may be the one in whichObama enjoys the most lever-age. That’s a dramatic changefrom his first term,when it wasrelegated to the background.

The White House is hint-ing at a comprehensive billthis year that would includea path toward citizenship formillions of immigrants nowin the country illegally.

Many Republicans, stungby heavy losses among His-panic voters in the last twopresidential elections, saythey also want to revamp thenation’s immigration laws.But a sweeping bill with citi-zenship provisions is bound todraw some conservative fire.IfObama goes big, it could putGOP leaders in a bind.

A December CBS Newspoll found that 47 percent ofadults felt illegal immigrantsworking in the U.S. should beallowed to remain and even-tually apply for citizenship.An additional 24 percent saidthey should be allowed tostay as guest workers.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Lenders took possession offewer U.S. homes in 2012than a year earlier, as thepace of new homes enteringthe path to foreclosureslowed and banks increas-ingly opted to allow troubledborrowers to sell their homesfor less than what they owedon their mortgage.

All told, banks repos-sessed 671,251 homes lastyear, down nearly 17 percentfrom 804,423 the yearbefore, according to datareleased today by foreclosurelisting firm RealtyTrac Inc.

The trend, along with anannual decline in overallforeclosure activity, suggeststhat the country’s foreclo-sure woes are easing, at leaston a national level.

But half the states experi-enced higher levels of fore-closure activity last year andmany are expected to con-tinue seeing increases thisyear, RealtyTrac said.

All told, foreclosure activ-ity, defined as the number ofhomes that received at leastone foreclosure-related fil-ing, declined 3 percent lastyear. That translates to 1.8million U.S. homes, and rep-resents a drop of 36 percentfrom a peak of 2.9 millionhomes in 2010, the firm said.

Florida had the nation’shighest foreclosure rate lastyear, with 3.1 percent ofhouseholds, or one in 32,

receiving a foreclosure-related filing during the year.

Generally, states such asFlorida and New York, wherethe courts play a role in theforeclosure process, takelonger to work through theircases than California, Utahand other so-called nonjudi-cial states with a morestreamlined process.

The judicial states also havetaken longer to work through abacklog of cases that built upin 2011 when foreclosure pro-cessing slowed as the mort-gage industry addressed alle-gations that lenders hadprocessed foreclosures with-out verifying documents.

As a result, foreclosureactivity rose last year in 25states, most of them stateswith a judicial foreclosuresystem, while it declined in25 others, most of thosebeing non-judicial foreclo-sure states, RealtyTrac said.

Among the states with thebiggest increases were NewJersey, Florida and Illinois.States with the biggestannual decline in foreclosureactivity included Nevada,Utah and Arizona.

Many of the states with ajudicial foreclosure process,including Florida, Illinois,Ohio and Indiana, should becaught up with their foreclo-sure backlog halfwaythrough this year, said DarenBlomquist, a vice presidentat RealtyTrac.

Fewer U.S. homesrepossessed in 2012 Inspectors finding

deficiencies in leveesNEW ORLEANS (AP) —

Inspectors taking the first-ever inventory of flood con-trol systems overseen by thefederal government havefound hundreds of structuresat risk of failing and endan-gering people and property in37 states.

Levees deemed in unac-ceptable condition span thebreadth of America. They arein every region, in cities andtowns big and small: Wash-ington, D.C., and Sacramen-to, Calif.; Cleveland and Dal-las; Augusta, Ga. and Brook-port, Ill.

The U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers has yet to issueratings for a little more than40 percent of the 2,487structures, which protectabout 10 million people. Ofthose it has rated, however,326 levees covering morethan 2,000 miles were foundin urgent need of repair.

The Associated Pressrequested, under the Free-dom of Information Act,details on why certain leveeswere judged unacceptableand how many people wouldbe affected in a flood. TheCorps declined on groundsthat such information couldheighten risks of terrorismand sabotage.

FAA grounds Boeing787s over batteries

WASHINGTON (AP) —Lithium batteries that canleak corrosive fluid and startfires have emerged as thechief safety concern involv-ing Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner,a problem that apparently isfar more serious than gov-ernment or company officialsacknowledged less than aweek ago.

The Federal AviationAdministration late Wednes-day grounded Boeing ’snewest and most technologi-cally advanced jetliner untilthe risk of battery fires isresolved. The order appliesonly to the six Dreamlinersoperated by United Airlines,the lone U.S. carrier with787s. But other airlines andcivil aviation authorities inother countries will be underpressure to follow suit or facepossible accusations of tak-ing unnecessary risks withpublic safety.

U.S. aiding Mali effortsbut limits involvement

WASHINGTON (AP) —The Obama administrationh a s d e c l a re d i t ca n n o taccept new terrorist sanctu-aries in Mali or anywhereelse and has promised tosupport French and Africanefforts to restore security.Yet after almost a year ofdisorder in the West Africannation, Washington is stillkeeping the conflict at arm’slength.

France has been engagedin a weeklong fight to eradi-cate Islamist extremists innorthern Mali. But the U.S.ambivalence reflects severalfactors, foremost the U.S.government’s desire to avoidb e i n g d ra g ge d i n to ye tanother war in a desolate,impoverished Islamic coun-try. It also doesn’t want toshoulder the financial bur-den of a potentially lengthyfight against extremists, anddistrusts a Malian govern-ment dominated by militaryofficials who’ve chased out apresident and a prime min-ister over the last 10 months.

That leaves the UnitedStates hoping France can getthe job done. American offi-cials say they are providingintelligence to its Europeanally and are consideringdeploying American aircraftto land in Mali for airlift orlogistical support. The U.S.is offering possible surveil-lance drones, too, but won’tentertain notions of sendingAmerican troops to keepterrorists from carving out asafe haven like they did inAfghanistan before the Sept.11, 2001, attacks.

SEATTLE — The U.S.Army wants to bar Staff Sgt.Robert Bales from using anysort of mental health defenseto charges that he slaugh-tered 16 Afghan villagers lastyear because he has refusedto take part in an officialreview of his sanity, accord-ing to documents obtainedby The Associated Press.

Bales, a father of two fromLake Tapps, Wash., is due toappear this morning in a mil-itary courtroom at Joint BaseLewis-McChord south ofSeattle, where his lawyerssay he will plead not guilty.Bales is accused of leaving aremote base in southernAfghanistan early on March11, massacring adults andchildren in two villages, andburning some of the bodies— attacks which drew suchoutrage that the U.S. tem-porarily halted combat oper-ations in the country.

In court documents pro-vided to The Associated

Press by John Henry Browne,one of Bales’ lawyers, mili-tary prosecutors argue thatBales should not be allowedto have any expert witnessestestify about what effect hismental health might havehad on his guilt. Nor do theywant any expert to testifyduring the penalty phase ofthe trial, should it get thatfar, as to whether any historyof traumatic brain injury orpost-traumatic stress disor-der should spare him thedeath penalty.

The reason: His lawyershave refused to allow him toparticipate in a “sanityboard” review.

Such reviews are conduct-ed by neutral doctors taskedwith discerning a defen-dant’s mental state at thetime of the crime andwhether he’s competent tostand trial. Bales, who grewup in Norwood, Ohio, wasserving his fourth deploy-ment in a war zone, and hismental health has beenexpected to be a key part ofthe case.

BERLIN (AP) — A lawyerin Germany claims surgeonsleft up to 16 objects in herclient’s body after an opera-tion for prostate cancer.

The 77-year-old ex-banker died last year and hisfamily is seeking $106,216 indamages for his suffering,plus costs, from the Henriet-tenstift hospital in Hannover.

A spokesman for the organ-ization that runs the hospitaltold The Associated Presstoday the objects couldn’thave been left in the patient’sbody during the operationbecause the equipment wasn’tin use at the hospital.

A Free Syrian Army fighter steps on a paper with the photo of Syrian President Bashar Assad in Aleppo, Syria,on Tuesday.

BEIRUT (AP) — Forcesloyal to President BasharAssad swept through a smallfarming village in centralSyria this week, torchinghouses and shooting andstabbing residents in anattack that killed up to 106people, including womenand children, activists saidtoday.

The assault on Haswiyehoutside the city of Homstook place on Tuesday, butwas only coming to light twodays later as the scale of thekillings became more appar-ent. The attacks appeared tohave sectarian motives andbore a resemblance to theattack last May on the nearbyvillage of Houla that killed108 people and drew inter-national condemnation ofthe Assad regime.

The Britain-based SyrianObservatory for HumanRights put the death toll inHaswiyeh at 106, and saidsome of the dead were“burnt inside their homeswhile other were killed withknives” and other weapons.It added that there are

reports that “whole familieswere executed, one of themmade up of 32 members.”

Youssef al-Homsi, anactivist based in Homs, alsosaid at least 100 people werekilled in Haswiyeh. He sentThe Associated Press viaSkype a list of 100 namessaid to have been killed. Inaddition to whole families,the list included individualnames of 15 women and 10children.

Omar Idilbi of the LocalCoordination Committeesactivist group put the deathtoll at 37, but said the figurewas from Wednesday andthat more bodies have beenfound since then.

It was not possible to con-firm the activist reportsbecause of severe reportingrestrictions in Syria.

A government official inDamascus flatly denied thereports of carnage, saying nosuch killings took place inthe area at all. He said “thearmy protects civilians andtheir properties,” andaccused rebels of using civil-ians as “human shields. He

spoke on condition ofanonymity because he wasnot authorized to brief themedia.

However, the pro-govern-ment daily Al-Watan report-ed today that Syrian troopsadvanced in the countrysideof Homs “cleansing the vil-lages of Haswiyeh and Dweiras well as their fields” fromgunmen. It did not elaborate.

Rebels and governmenttroops are known to haveclashed in the area aroundHaswiyeh earlier this week.Rebels still control severalneighborhoods in Homs,Syria’s third-largest city, aswell as other areas in theregion. The U.N. says at least60,000 people have beenkilled in the conflict.

The Observatory and al-Homsi said all of the deadappeared to be Sunni Mus-l i m s. S u n n i s m a ke t h emajority of Syria’s 23 mil-lion people, while Assadand most of the top offi-cials in his regime belong tothe minority Alawite sect,a n o f f- s h o o t o f S h i i teIslam.

CHICAGO (AP) — OneTahawwur Rana is a loving,kindhearted father hood-winked into committingcrimes out of loyalty to an oldfriend. The other TahawwurRana is hate-filled and cold,speaking approvingly of massmurder and laughing at theprospect of severed headsthrown onto a street.

Those competing portraitsare expected to be on displaytoday before a judge sen-tences the Chicago business-man for backing a terroristplot in Denmark and sup-porting the group behind thethree-day deadly siege ofMumbai sometimes knownas India’s 9/11.

Rana, 52, was convicted in2011 for providing support toa Pakistani group that carriedout the 2008 Mumbai attackthat killed 160 people, as wellas for his backing of an unre-alized plot to attack a Danishnewspaper that printed car-toons of Muhammad.

Defense attorneys say theyare seeking a no more thannine-year prison term at hissentencing hearing today inU.S. District Court in Chica-go. Prosecutors are asking forthe maximum 30 years,which, at his age, couldamount to a life term.

Although Rana wasacquitted of terrorismcharges, the question ofwhether he should be consid-ered a terrorist for sentencingpurposes likely will be a focusof the hearing. Federal guide-lines require stiffer sentencesfor those deemed to haveengaged in terrorism.

Prosecutors argued thisweek that the Pakistani-bornCanadian fits the definitionof a terrorist.

He laughed in secretlyrecorded conversationsabout beheading some of theDanish newspaper’s employ-ees and throwing their headsonto a street, prosecutorsalleged. They also say Ranaresponded to the massacresin Mumbai by saying the vic-tims “deserved it.”

Jurors cleared Rana of thethird and most serious chargeof involvement in the three-day rampage in Mumbai,India’s largest city.

Acquittal on that charge,prosecutors argue, doesn’tlessen the reality that Rana wasbent on committing terrorism.

The core of the defenseargument is that Rana acqui-esced to provide help to a keyfigure in the Mumbai attack,David Coleman Headley, outof a misguided sense of loyal-ty going back to their days aschildhood friends.

Headley, an American Pak-istani who has pleaded guiltyto laying the groundwork forthose attacks, was the starwitness at Rana’s trial. He tes-tified to avoid the deathpenalty and extradition. Hewill be sentenced next week.

cheap props of using chil-dren as bait to gin up emo-tional attachment for anissue that quite honestlydoesn’t solve the problem,”Carr said.

In Coos County, however,Zanni urged a calmerresponse to Obama’s execu-tive orders.

“I didn’t see anything Ifind objectionable,” he said.“I think this is one of thosethings where a lot angst hasoccurred because of com-ments made. I think it’spolitical, and don’t think it’sas big an issue as everybodythinks it would be.”

Deciding the constitu-tionality of laws isn’t a localsheriff’s job, Zanni said.

“The court’s job is to

review the laws. Our job is toenforce the law,” he said.

Across the West, legisla-tive proposals to pre-emptnew federal gun restrictionshave arisen in Wyoming,Utah and Alaska.

A Wyoming bill specifiesthat any federal limitationon guns would be unen-forceable. It also wouldmake it a state felony forfederal agents to try toenforce restrictions.

“I think there are a lot ofpeople who would want totake all of our guns if theycould,” said co-sponsor Rep.Kendell Kroeker, a Republi-can. “And they’re onlyrestrained by the oppositionof the people, and otherlawmakers who are con-cerned about our rights.”

Republican state Sen.Larry H icks creditedWyoming’s high rate of gunownership for a low rate ofgun violence.

“Our kids grow up aroundfirearms, and they also grow

up hunting, and they knowwhat the consequences areof taking a life,” Hicks said.“We’re not insulated fromthe real world in Wyoming.”

In Utah, some Republi-cans are preparing legisla-tion to exempt the statefrom federal gun laws — andfine any federal agents whotry to seize guns. A bill in theAlaska House would make ita misdemeanor for a federalagent to enforce newrestrictions on gun owner-ship.

While such proposals areeye-catching, they likelycould never be implement-ed.

“The legislature can passanything it wants,” said SamKamin, a constitutional lawprofessor at the Universityof Denver. “The SupremacyClause of the Constitutionmakes that clearly unconsti-tutional. Where there’s aconflict between state andfederal law, the federal gov-ernment is supreme.”

Kamin and other legalexperts said such disdain ofObama’s proposals is remi-niscent of former Confeder-ate states’ refusal to complywith federal law extendingequal rights for blacks afterthe Civil War.

The National Sheriff’sAssociation has supportedadministration efforts tocombat gun violence afterthe Sandy Hook Elementaryshootings. President LarryAmerson, sheriff of Cal-houn, Ala., said he under-

stands the frustrations ofpeople in rural areas withthe federal government. Buthe feels his oath of officebinds him to uphold all laws.

“Any sheriff who knowshis duty knows we don’tenforce federal law, per se,”said Amerson, a longtimefirearms instructor andhunter.

Some rural sheriffs viewthe federal government as anadversary, with gun owner-ship at the core of that belief.

In M innesota, P ineCounty Sheriff Robin Colesent an open letter to resi-dents saying he did notbelieve the federal govern-ment had the right to tell thestates how to regulatefirearms. He said he wouldrefuse to enforce any federalmandate he felt violatedconstitutional rights.

The Constitutional Sher-iffs and Peace Officers Asso-ciation, based in Fredericks-burg, Texas, encourages thatpoint of view. FounderRichard Mack, a formersheriff of Apache County,Ariz., speaks regularly atgatherings of Tea Partygroups and gun rights organ-izations.

“I will tell Mr. Obama andeverybody else who wants toimpose gun control in Amer-ica, that whether you like itor not, it is against the law,”said Mack. “Now we havegood sheriffs who are stand-ing up and defending the lawagainst our own president.”

Zanni’s letterTo: The Citizens of Coos CountyRe: Second Amendment Rights and Recent Events

The recent tragedies that occurred at Clackamas, Ore-gon and in Newton, Connecticut have created a politicalwake that has raised and in some cases created a host ofissues. My office has been inundated with phone calls,texts, faxes and emails about these recent incidents andthe political turmoil that have resulted from various fac-tions making statements and taking position related tothese issues.

Many have called looking for answers to questionssuch as: “Could this have been prevented; if so how? Whydid this happen? What next?” Although I cannot provideanswers to these questions, I felt it was necessary to makeclear my position on the Rights of Citizens and the Sec-ond Amendment, along with reinforcing a strategy bywhich we can help keep our communities safe.

As your Sheriff, I have taken an Oath of Office includ-ing supporting the Second Amendment Rights of our cit-izens. I will also continue to be an avid supporter of Ore-gon’s Concealed Handgun License Program and in pro-tecting the confidential personal information of eachlicense holder.

I have taken note of and appreciate the many concernscommunicated to me and my office. I will continue to beinvolved with our citizens, elected officials and commu-nity in advocating for strong public safety services andthe protection of citizen’s rights.

It is best that when tragedies like this occur, those whoare in leadership roles avoid making hasty decisions ortaking positions that impact the rights of all people. It ismy intent and prayer that as a county, state and nation wecan work together to stop these types of evil tragediesfrom occurring in our communities.

one significant change: ahigher fee. A brick-and-mortar business pays $25 fora business permit. Coun-cilors suggested vendorsshould contribute more,because their clientele mayend up using other city serv-ices that existing businesses

are already charged for, suchas sanitation. The fee forvendors is likely to be $50.

Craddock said drafting theformal ordinance shouldn’ttake long. It could come tothe council Feb. 19. Ifapproved then, vendorscould be on the streets asearly as March.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 2013theworldlink.com/sports n Sports Editor John Gunther n 541-269-1222, ext. 241

Just 10 days ago, we were sur-prised in the newsroom whenChip Kelly announced he wasstaying at Oregon.

We weren’t surprised that hewasn’t going to be the new coachof the Browns or the Bills, placeswe thought wouldn’t fit his sys-tem. But Philadelphia seemed theideal NFL job for him, with excep-tional athletes plentiful.

Speculation on why Kellystayed with the Ducks wasdiverse: Unfinished business? (Hegot Oregon to the championshipgame a few years back, but neverwon a national title.) Leverage?(Kelly’s flirtation with the NFLwas a good way to get a few morelarge bills from Phil Knight’s for-tune into his wallet.)

Whatever thereason, Duckfans rejoiced.The Visor wasstaying inEugene, morePac-12 titlessurely wouldfollow, andOregon wouldremain one ofthe country’smost visible andtrendy pro-grams.

Letter writersto one newspa-per said they knew Kelly wouldstay because of his commitmentto his players. They criticized thepeople who assumed he wouldleave for greener pastures.

I found their belief in his loyal-ty amusing.

In the newsroom, we weren’tfooled, figuring it was a matter ofwhen and where, not if, Kellywould move on. After all, that’stwo straight years he nearly tookan NFL job and more jobs proba-bly would come open after the2013 season.

Still, we were surprised to findWednesday that “when” becamenow, and “where” becamePhiladelphia.

My immediate thoughts weretwofold:

First, the Eagles must havethrown a boatload of money andpower (at least some control overpersonnel decisions) at him.

Second, with Kelly off to theNFL, the most high-profilecoaching position in the statewould be held by a Marshfieldgraduate.

The Ducks can’t officially pro-mote offensive coordinator MarkHelfrich until they have gonethrough a formal process, whichincludes interviewing at least oneminority candidate. And AthleticDirector Rob Mullens said therewere no front-runners for thejob.

And as Oregon fan andMarshfield’s co-athletic director,Mike George, said to meWednesday, Knight will have a lotto say about whom Oregon hires.(George also said Knight andHelfrich get along well.)

Most insiders speculate the jobis Helfrich’s.

He would maintain Oregon’scontinuity on offense and has agreat relationship with quarter-back Marcus Mariota. He’s alsoconsidered one of the great youngminds in college football.

Oregon needs to make a quickhire for recruiting purposes, withnational signing day only a coupleof weeks away.

The questions about Kelly’sfuture in recent weeks mightalready have cost Oregon some ofthe top players who were consid-ering the Ducks. But if the newcoach shares Kelly’s blur offensephilosophy, the school likely willbe able to draw more sensationalathletes like the ones who helpedelevate the program to its currentlevel.

Even without Kelly, Oregoncould continue to thrive, possiblywith a local guy in charge.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) —Moments after Chip Kelly’splane landed, he was handeda new Eagles visor andreceived a warm greetingfrom fans gathered at the air-port.

Welcome to Philadelphia,Coach.

The Eagles hired Kelly onWednesday, just 10 days afterhe decided to stay at Oregon.The 49-year-old Kelly,known as an offensive inno-vator, becomes the 21st coachin team history and replacesAndy Reid, who was fired onDec. 31 after a 4-12 season.

He’ll be introduced at anews conference today at theEagles’ practice facility.

“The challenge is what Iwas excited about and that’swhy I came,” Kelly told agroup of reporters uponlanding in Philly. “I was soldon the Eagles the first time Imet them, it was my ties toOregon that made it hard.But the Eagles are the Eagles.This is the NFL.

“My dream is to just win,and with the Eagles, this wasthe best opportunity for meto win. I never thought a longtime ago that I was going tobe able to coach in the NFLbut I’m excited about theopportunity.”

General manager HowieRoseman gave Kelly the whiteEagles visor, the trademarkhat he wore at Oregon. Kellythen got a glimpse of whatthis team means to this city.

Not only were Rosemanand president Don Smolenski

waiting for him on the run-way — they arrived with apolice escort — there werefans, decked out in green,waiting outside on a cold,dreary night.

“I know it’s a rabid fanbase,” Kelly said. “I hope theydon’t boo me. It’s an excitingtime and I’m ready to get towork.”

Kelly, who was 46-7 infour years at Oregon, inter-viewed with the Eagles,Cleveland Browns andBuffalo Bills in a two-dayspan after leading the fast-flying Ducks to a victory overKansas State in the FiestaBowl Jan. 3.

The Eagles are known tohave interviewed 11 candi-dates, including two meet-ings with Seahawks defensivecoordinator Gus Bradley. Allalong, Kelly was thought tobe Philadelphia’s first choicein a long, exhaustive processthat took many twists.

“Chip Kelly will be anoutstanding head coach forthe Eagles,” owner JeffreyLurie said in a statement. “Hehas a brilliant football mind.He motivates his team withhis actions as well as hiswords. He will be a greatleader for us and will bring afresh energetic approach toour team.”

On the day he fired Reid,Lurie appeared to be describ-ing Kelly when he said hewanted to find a “real smart,forward-thinking coach”who is “strategic, a strongleader, very comfortable in

his own skin.”The enigmatic Kelly

reportedly was close to sign-ing with the Browns after along interview Jan. 4. He metwith the Eagles for ninehours the next day, setting upa soap-opera scenario inwhich the Eagles were com-peting with Browns CEO JoeBanner, their former presi-dent and longtime friend ofLurie who left the organiza-tion after a falling out. Butthat roller coaster endedwhen Kelly opted to remain— temporarily — in Eugene.

“Shane Keeling is a fresh-man who has never wrestled,and that’s where Levi was,”Workman said.

North Bend’s KyleZomerschoe also recorded afall, pinning Sutherlin’s ChadThomas at 160 pounds.

“Kyle wrestled good,”Workman said. “I’m happyfor him.”

SOUTH BEND, Ind. —Not long before Notre Dameplayed Michigan State lastfall, word spread thatFighting Irish linebackerManti Te’o had lost hisgrandmother and girlfriendwithin hours of each other.

Te’o’s grandmother didindeed die. His girlfriend,Lennay Kekua, never existed.

In a shocking announce-ment Wednesday night,Notre Dame said Te’o wasduped into an online rela-tionship with a womanwhose “death” fromleukemia was faked by per-petrators of an elaboratehoax. The goal of the scamwasn’t clear, though NotreDame said it used an inves-tigative firm to dig into thedetails after Te’o disclosedthem three weeks ago.

The hoax was disclosedhours after Deadspin.composted a lengthy story, sayingit could find no record thatKekua ever existed. The storysuggests a friend of Te’o mayhave carried out the hoax andthat the football player mayhave been in on it — a stun-ning claim against a widelyadmired All-American wholed the most famed programin college football back to thechampionship game for thefirst time since 1988.

Chip Kelly arrives at Northeast Philadelphia Airport on Wednesday afterleaving Oregon to become the Eagles’ new head coach.

Kelly receiveswarm welcome

BY ANNE M. PETERSONThe Associated Press

Oregon faces a future without ChipKelly after all.

The team’s enigmatic coach of fouryears surprised the Ducks with an earlymorning phone call Wednesday to sayhe was leaving to become head coach ofthe Philadelphia Eagles, just a littlemore than a week after he told Oregonhe was staying.

Oregon responded by assuming the“Next Man In” philosophy that Kellyhad always preached at Oregon forreplacing key players.

Kelly had barely boarded a flight forPhiladelphia when the Ducks swung thesearch for his replacement into gear. Ajob posting for “Head Football Coach”appeared within hours on the universi-ty’s website.

“We’re here moving forward. We’renot going to worry about what hap-pened. He made a decision that was

best for him and we wish him well,” ath-letic director Rob Mullens said. “He’sbeen great for Oregon football and we’removing on.”

Mullens said Wednesday that he hadalready been contacted by search firms,although he had not heard from any indi-vidual candidates outside the program.

He set no timeline for replacing Kelly,except to say the Ducks will “move asfast as we can” — much like the team’swarp-speed offense under Kelly.

“We had already done a lot ofgroundwork, we had already started theprocess, knowing that Chip was goingto be talking to the Eagles, Bills andBrowns. We had geared up our process.We had obviously shut it down, but it’seasy to click right back on.”

A person close to the team who spokeon the condition of anonymity becausethe coaching search is ongoing told TheAssociated Press early Wednesday thatoffensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, aMarshfield High School graduate, was

still considered the “frontrunner.”Under Oregon state law, the schoolmust also interview at least one quali-fied minority candidate for the job.

Mullens acknowledged there wereinternal candidates, but there was no“leader in the clubhouse.”

“The expectation for this programhas shifted,” Mullens said. “We want towin Pac-12 championships. We want towin BCS bowls.”

Kelly set the bar high.Kelly was 46-7 in four years as head

coach at Oregon. The Ducks have beento four straight BCS bowl games —including a bid for the national champi-onship against Auburn in 2011 — andhave won three Pac-12 championships.

He originally came to the Ducks in2007 as offensive coordinator underhead coach Mike Bellotti. Kelly wasselected to be Bellotti’s successor beforeBellotti left the job.

Oregon finished last season 12-1 andbeat Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Wearing bright pinkshoelaces, Federer advancedto the third round with a 6-3,6-4, 6-4 win over RussianNikolay Davydenko today.

The 17-time Grand Slamchampion was a winner ofsorts before he even steppedout at Rod Laver Arena, hav-ing received the luck of thedraw — a 7 p.m. start timeafter the worst of the 106-degree heat had subsided.

Other championship con-tenders in the men’s andwomen’s draws, includingAndy Murray, SerenaWilliams and defendingchampion Victoria Azarenka,had to withstand the hightemperatures that aren’tunusual for this time of yearin Melbourne.

A dancing Azarenka and anankle-wrapped Williams hadeasy straight-set victories.U.S. Open champion Murrayalso won routinely, beatingJoao Sousa of Portugal 6-2, 6-2, 6-4.

Williams went intotoday’s match with aninjured right ankle fromTuesday’s match. She didn’tseem troubled by the ankle,beating Garbine Muguruza6-2, 6-0 .

The top-ranked Azarenkapranced into Rod Laver Arenafor the first match of the day,and said she’s starting to findsome rhythm after beatingEleni Daniilidou 6-1, 6-0 in55 minutes.

The heat didn’t seem tobother 42-year-old KimikoDate-Krumm, who advanced6-2, 7-5 over Shahar Peer ofIsrael. She’s the oldestwoman to win a singles matchat the Australian Open.

Other women advancingincluded former No. 1-ranked Caroline Wozniacki,No. 14 Maria Kirilenko, No.16 Roberta Vinci, No. 20

Yanina Wickmayer and ElenaVesnina, who beat No. 21-seeded Varvara Lepchenko.

Former U.S. Open cham-pion Svetlana Kuznetsovabeat 26th-seeded Hsieh Su-wei of Taiwan 6-2, 6-1 andLaura Robson outlasted 2011Wimbledon champion PetraKvitova 2-6, 6-3, 11-9.

Scoreboard

BY BARRY WILNERThe Associated Press

For those fans clamoringto see someone new in theSuper Bowl, the NFC is giv-ing you what you want.

Sorry about the AFC.Yep, same old, same old is

ahead, with the New EnglandPatriots hostingthe BaltimoreRavens for thesecond straightc o n f e r e n c ec h a m p i o n s h i pgame Sunday. With a similarresult, too.

New England (13-4) is a91⁄2-point favorite to reach itssixth Super Bowl in the TomBrady-Bill Belichick era. ThePatriots’ quarterback andcoach are 3-2 together in thebig game, but the last twoappearances have been lossesto the Giants.

That surely must irk thetwo men who otherwise havedominated the last 12 NFLseasons.

The Patriots have neverlost an AFC title game athome (4-0, three of those inthose 12 seasons).

New England will movethe ball on Baltimore (12-6)and could resort to running itmore often than in the past.Not only is Stevan Ridley a1,000-yard rusher, some-thing very rare for the

Patriots, but the Ravensaren’t nearly as stout as theyonce were at stopping therun. With the emergence ofShane Vereen and consisten-cy of Danny Woodhead if heis healthy, the Patriots aredeep in the backfield, too.

The loss of star tight endRob Gronkowski will bedamaging for the Patriots,but not overwhelmingly so.Aaron Hernandez will pickup the slack in receptions andthe blocking of M ichaelHoomanawanui againstHouston was exemplary.

Where the Ravens couldprosper is in a revitalizedpass rush. Terrell Suggsfinally is approaching his topdefensive player status of2011 after returning from apartially torn Achilles ten-don. Paul Kruger already is adynamic sack guy.

But in the end, NewEngland’s offense will be toopersistent, too sharp and toodeep for Baltimore to stop.Look for Wes Welker, BrandonLloyd and Hernandez to havestrong games.

And look for the Patriotsto be in New Orleans nextmonth ... PATRIOTS, 30-24.

SSaann FFrraanncciissccoo ((mmiinnuuss 3311⁄⁄22 ))aatt AAttllaannttaa:: Had the Falconskept the rout going againstSeattle in last Sunday’s divi-sional round, the spread herewould be different. But

Atlanta (14-3) nearly blew it,raising questions among theodds makers about how goodthe Falcons really are.

They’re plenty good, astheir last-minute rally to MattBryant’s 49-yard field goal tobeat the Seahawks proved.The issue: San Francisco (12-4-1) simply is better.

Of the remaining fourteams, the 49ers are the mostbalanced. They have the bestdefense by far; only Seattle’sunit really challenged themamong all the playoff qualifiers.

Atlanta will struggle torun against Patrick Willis,Justin Smith, NaVorroBowman and Co. So theFalcons will take to the air, awise decision when you haveplaymakers Tony Gonzalez,Roddy White and Julio Jones.

Problem is, the Niners’secondary is as good as any.And the pass rush, sparkedby Aldon Smith (191⁄2 sacks),is formidable.

Where San Francisco hasan edge over last year, when itlost at home to the Giants forthe conference crown, is inits passing game. Second-year QB Colin Kaepernickhas added a dynamic dimen-sion with his strong arm,escapability and overall ath-letic skills.

Add that to Frank Gore’srunning, and Atlanta’s D will beovermatched ... 49ERS, 23-16.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 2013Your chart indicates that in

the year ahead you are likely tohave some unusually strongambitions. This could be due tosome special knowledge you’veacquired that you feel can takeyou places.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) — To be on the safe side, itwould be wise to avoid issues onwhich you and your specialsomeone hold strong, opposingviews. It won’t take much to lightthe other’s fuse.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.19) — Harboring a negative atti-tude will have a strong effect onthe results of everything you do.This will include even mostassignments that you normallyperform by rote.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)— You are entitled to have somefun and enjoy yourself, as longas you don’t overindulge orspend too lavishly on your per-sonal pleasures. Both wouldcarry heavy penalties.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)— Emphasizing only your inter-ests without any concern forthose of others will not only turnoff everyone, it will lessen yourhopes of getting what you wantas well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)— Guard against a tendency tomake a snap judgment based onincomplete information. Anincorrect conclusion will take youcompletely off track and onlyconfuse you further.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)— It’s never a good day to lendto or borrow from a friend, sodon’t start now. Discipline mightbe required in order to avoiddoing so, but it behooves you tomuster up the necessarystrength.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)— Our behavior is always beingscrutinized by our peers, oppo-nents and supporters. Don’t tryto please them all —just watchyour step and do as best youcan.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) —Even if you believe your ideasand methods are better thanthose of others, they don’t wantto hear it, so keep it to yourself.Instead, try to accept others’points of view with an openmind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)— It behooves you to beextremely cautious about howyou use your money, especially ifyou’re considering a majorinvestment. Make sure you haveall the facts at your disposal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —This could be one of those dayswhen you feel that everyone butyou is out of step with the world.Unfortunately, the reverse is like-ly to be true, and it’s you who isnot in sync with the majority.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)— The only way you’ll be able tolighten your share of the load isto acquire some assistance.However, your chances of get-ting others to drop what they’redoing to help you are nil.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You can be eithergreat or completely horribleabout managing your or any-body else’s resources. Be care-ful, because today it might bethe latter.

SATURDAY, JAN. 19, 2013Favors you do for others in

the year ahead are likely to bepaid back quite promptly and ingreat measure. If you try yourbest to be one of the good guys,you’ll end up being a huge win-ner in life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) — Your associates might beinclined to hold back some goodideas if they sense you aren’tlikely to appreciate them. Don’tbe a know-it-all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.19) — A matter you’ve been anx-ious to finalize can be conclud-ed, but not necessarily to thesatisfaction of everyoneinvolved. Some might feel thereis still a leak in the bucket.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)— In order for you to negotiatean important matter, some kindof compromise might have to bereached. If you take action, it

won’t happen.ARIES (March 21-April 19)

— Two strong factors couldaffect your chances of success:One is a strong motivation forvictory, and the other is a senseof adventure.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)— At times, it seems like nothingever changes. Those who areusually supportive of you willremain so, while those who tendto oppose you will be antagonis-tic once again.

Robert Duvall said, “You just can’ttake a crash course to be a tangodancer in a movie.”

You can’t take a crash course tobe an expert declarer in bridge.However, here is a chance to dancearound a three-no-trump deal. Whatshould South do after West leads theheart jack?

Despite having only 20 high-cardpoints, South’s hand is nearly strongenough to open two clubs and rebidtwo no-trump. All those aces andkings, along with the good five-card

suit, make that hand worth some 22points. (A two-no-trump opening typi-cally contains either three aces andone king or two aces and three kings.As this hand has two aces and fourkings, it is over average.)

South starts with seven top tricks:three hearts, two diamonds and twoclubs. Most days, he will get threemore winners from clubs for an over-trick. But it would be a good idea tosacrifice the potential extra trick toavoid crashing like the original declar-er. He won the first trick and immedi-

ately took his two topclubs. When the queendid not drop, South con-tinued with a third club.Now East did well, shiftingto the spade queen.Whatever declarer did, hehad to lose five spadetricks and go down two.Since the contract is indanger of crashing only ifEast gains the lead, Southshould have taken the firsttrick on the board andplayed a low club to hiseight (assuming East fol-lowed suit with the two orfive, of course). Even if itlost to the 10, the suitwould then have run andthe contract come homesafely.

DDeeaarr TToomm aanndd RRaayy::I am a prosecutor in

Florida, and I’ve beenstumped by a very interest-ing issue that’s arisen in acase of mine. A team of bur-glars broke into an elderlywoman’s house using a dis-traction scheme.

The accomplice rang thewoman’s doorbell and toldher that the dome light in her2002 Buick LeSabre was on.She went out to her car andsaw that, in fact, the domelight was on. She unlockedher car door (the car does nothave keyless entry, and shesays she always keeps the cardoors locked) and wasunable to shut off the light.The accomplice offered tohelp and did manage to turnoff the light. While this wasgoing on, the burglar wasinside ransacking the home.The victim insists that shedid not leave her dome lightson accidentally. Assumingthat the victim is correctthat her car was locked andthat she did not accidentallyleave the lights on, how didthe burglar and his accom-plice manage to turn on thelights? If this case goes totrial, I would really love toexplain this to the jury. Anyhelp would be appreciated —thanks! — Kat

TTOOMM:: Well, I don’t knowexactly what they did, but wehave to assume that if they’rewilling to fool an old lady andransack her home, they’reprobably not opposed tousing a $10 Slim Jim tojimmy open a locked cardoor.

RRAAYY:: It’s quite easy to do,especially on older cars.

TTOOMM:: Then, once they’rein, they can turn on the domelight using the headlightswitch, re-lock the door andclose it again. And voila, theyhave their pretext.

RRAAYY:: What I don’t knowis how they made it difficultfor her to turn off the domelight. There’s no very quick,easy way to do that. It’s pos-sible that the lady simplywasn’t familiar with thedome-light switch and knewonly that the dome lightcomes on when the doors areopened. Perhaps they justtook advantage of her lack ofknowledge.

TTOOMM:: Or perhaps theytinkered with, or removed,one of the switches in thedoorjamb that tell the domelight that the door is closed.That’s the kind of thing thatcan be done and undone in amatter of minutes if theywere willing to risk a proce-dure that took that long.

RRAAYY:: You’ll have to getmore information from thevictim and find out how shetried to turn off the domelight, and what finallyworked.

If you write back to uswith more info, we’ll try tohelp you piece it together.

TTOOMM:: Then my brotherwill come down and testifyagainst them.

RRAAYY:: Yeah. In exchangefor half of the loot. Goodluck, Kat. Hope you put ‘emaway.

Springs can wear outand affect ride height

DDeeaarr TToomm aanndd RRaayy::I’ve always done the

“bounce test” to check myshocks. I also go by the feel ofthe ride. My ’99 Taurusseems solid and rides great,but I’ve noticed that the rearend seems to be “squatting.”The front has about 3 inchesbetween the tire and fender,but the rear end is about 3⁄4

inch! The trunk and backseat are empty. Seems like itwould bounce if the shockswere bad, but it comes upand stops immediately. Isthere something else I needto check? If the shocks arefine, along with everythingelse, is there a way to raisethe ride height in the rear? Itlooks horrible! Is thisunsafe? — Robert

TTOOMM:: It’s moderatelyunsafe, and probably hugelyuncomfortable.

RRAAYY:: You’re confusing thejob the shocks do with the jobsthe springs do. Bad shockswill affect your ride and han-dling, but they won't changethe ride height of the car.

TTOOMM:: So it sounds likeyou have worn-out springsin the back.

RRAAYY:: The springs arethere to absorb bumps; thatis, to allow the tires tobounce up without makingthe entire passenger com-partment bounce up withthem.

TTOOMM:: The shocks arethere to damp those vibra-tions and keep the tires fromcontinuing to bounce up anddown for five minutes afteryou hit a bump.

RRAAYY:: Shocks wear outover time due to how muchdamping they have to do,whereas springs wear outfrom carrying a lot of weightover time.

TTOOMM:: So perhaps you’veschlepped a lot of heavycargo in the trunk through-out the years. Or drivenaround with a couple ofmothers-in-law in the backseat on a regular basis? Thatkind of weight compressesthe springs, and eventuallythey just stop bouncing backbecause there’s no “spring”in them anymore.

RRAAYY:: Springs can alsobreak. So it’s possible thatyou have a couple of brokensprings in the back from oneparticularly overloadedjourney (when you moved in2006 and decided to carryyour iron-ore boulder col-lection yourself to make sureit arrived safely). But sincethe height is the same onboth sides of the same end ofthe car, it’s more likely thatthey’ve both just worn outand need to be replaced.Look into it, Robert.

It’s OK to use snowtires from previous car

DDeeaarr TToomm aanndd RRaayy::I traded in our old Prius

for a 2012 Prius last spring.I’m getting ready to put onthe snow tires that I keptfrom the old car. Those tiresare P185/65 R15, and the all-season tires on the new Priusare P195/65 R15. The dealersaid the snows will workfine, but the slightly differ-ent tire will affect thespeedometer and odometer.What’s your take on this? Isthere a conversion formula?This would be a tough storyto convey if I were stoppedfor speeding. Thanks. — Paul

TTOOMM:: Paul, the conver-sion formula is “fugged-aboutit.” The effect on yourspeedometer and odometerwill be minuscule.

RRAAYY:: Your two sets oftires are almost identical.

They have the same wheelsize in inches (that’s the 15)and the same aspect ratio(that’s the 65), which is theratio between the width of thetread (the section width) andthe height of the sidewall.

TTOOMM:: The only numberthat’s different is the sectionwidth (that's the width ofthe tire).

RRAAYY:: What does thatmean? It means your oldtires are a little thinner thanyour new tires. The new onesare 195 millimeters wide, andyour old tires are 185 mil-limeters wide — a differenceof less than half an inch.

TTOOMM:: Width doesn’taffect the speedometer orodometer. Only a tire’sdiameter can do that.

RRAAYY:: Now, since a tire’saspect ratio is a fixed ratiobetween the width andheight of the tire, a thinnerwidth means that, by defini-tion, the height (and there-fore diameter) must be a lit-tle smaller, too. So, the tires

aren’t identical.TTOOMM:: My math is not

good enough to calculatehow much error that tinydifference in diameter willcause in your speedometer,but it’s a difference that's sominimal, it’s hardly worththinking about.

RRAAYY:: It’s certainly notworth my brother breakingout his childhood abacus —the one Confucius gave him.

TTOOMM:: And in fact, “thin-ner” tires (with a smaller sec-tion width) often are recom-mended for use in the snow,because, while wider tiresmay ride on top of the snow,thinner tires have a betterchance of cutting throughthe snow to the pavementand giving you traction.

RRAAYY:: So, Paul, use yourold snow tires, as long asthey’re safe. And since Idoubt you’re doing a lot ofdrag racing in the Prius any-way, don’t worry too muchabout any minor speedome-ter error.
