“We’re seeing morelower-income families thatare losing their homes,” saidSharon Breshears, executivedirector of Valley House.
Shelter is free, with thegoal of giving people anopportunity and time to findwork and look for betterhousing. The length of staysvary depending on each per-son’s situation.
For example, some peopleneed to pay past-due rent toformer landlords and payutility bills before they’reready to move out on theirown, Breshears said, addingthat Valley House helps itsresidents work out a
budget plan.“We just help them get on
their feet,” she said.Valley House is totally
community funded,and alsois in need of donated beddingand furniture, which helpmeet the needs of thosereturning to independence.
As for Knada, things arelooking better for her sinceshe first moved to ValleyHouse. Since her move,Knada has found a nursingjob after two months ofbeing out of work.
Eventually,she’ll move outon her own, once she getscaught up on bills.
“There’s rules here, justlike there is for a family,” shesaid.
Health fund hands out biannual awardsBy Laura LundquistTimes-News writer
The St. Luke’s CommunityHealth Improvement Fund isstill managing to providefinancial support for nonprof-it agencies that provide aid andhealth services to area resi-dents.
The fund usually sets asidearound $200,000 a year that isawarded to around a dozenagencies in two cycles. For thefirst cycle of 2011,the selectioncommittee chose 14 organiza-tions, many of which arerepeat recipients, to receive atotal of $95,500.
Community EducationCoordinator Heidi Walker saidHospice Visions received halfof the $20,000 it requested.But that’s $2,500 more than
she received last year.“A lot of funding sources are
cutting down,” Walker said.“So we have to put out moreproposals and ask for moremoney because we rely ongrants for indigent hospicecare.”
Walker said the money willpay for low-income patientsin the Visions of Home hos-pice facility. The facility is forthose who cannot spend theirlast days in their own homes,either because their homes areill-equipped or they have nocaretakers.
The College of SouthernIdaho Retired and SeniorVolunteer Providers (RSVP)program received its usual$5,000, although managerBruce Stevens said he opti-mistically put in for $20,000.
The money reimburses volun-teers for the gasoline used toshuttle seniors to medicalappointments and help themrun errands. Stevens said he’llapply for another $5,000 inthe second round.
“We have 32 volunteersthat drive people around TwinFalls and Burley,”Stevens said.“A lot of people need to get tothe hospital for cancer treat-ments, so it helps St. Luke’sout too.”
Another organization asso-ciated with the elderly,the CSIFoster Grandparent Program,didn’t receive much of themoney it requested. Programmanager Kelle Johnson saidshe requested $10,000 butwas awarded only $1,500.
Johnson submitted anapplication broken into three
parts.She requested $1,500 fortuberculosis testing, whichwill use most of the award,andthe rest was intended toencourage low-income sen-iors to exercise: $5,500 forwalking shoes and $3,000 forfun-run registration fees.
Johnson said the SeniorCompanion Program did bet-ter, receiving its usual $5,000to reimburse volunteers whospend time with the home-bound elderly and drive themto stores and events.
“The fund has supportedthe Senior CompanionProgram since it started,”Johnson said. “We wouldn’tbe able to do it otherwise.”
BELLEVUE — MagicValley residents headed toSun Valley to ski this winterhad better be prepared to hitthe brakes as they descendTimmerman Hill.
The Idaho TransportationDepartment plans to installfour stop signs at the inter-section of Idaho Highway 75and U.S. Highway 20 to tryto stymie an increasingnumber of serious acci-dents.
The stop signs could beerected within a couple ofweeks if the weather driesout, allowing the snow atthe intersection to recede soworkers can figure outwhere the signs need to be.It could take a few months ifsnowstorms pile up, saidITD spokesman NathanJerke.
Warning beacons andrumble strips will also beapplied to Idaho 75.
The stop signs are a tem-porary fix until the depart-ment finds a better solution.Jerke said a stop sign or traf-fic light would reduce acci-dents by half. A $2 millionroundabout, which wouldrequire vehicles to yield todrivers already in the circle,would reduce accidents bymore than 70 percent, hesaid. The roundabout,which is the department’spreferred option, would alsocut injury accidents by 87 percent.
Installing a signal takestwo to three years to designand fund since every inter-section is different, saidJerke. And any major recon-struction at Timmerman
Junction would require anenvironmental impactstatement since the road sitson top of wetlands.
“It could be five to sixyears before we do a majorreconstruction there — andthat’s if we find the fund-ing,” Jerke said. “The stopsign was what we could doimmediately for minimalcost as we work toward along-term solution.”
The intersection, the siteof at least two fatal acci-dents, saw 26 traffic acci-dents from 2000 through2009. There have been atleast three serious accidentssince June of this year.
A two-car accident at theintersection on Oct. 27prompted Wood RiverValley government officialsto send a letter to ITD, stat-ing that the accident ratethere has become unaccept-able and asking that a per-manent solution be imple-mented within two years.
The accident provoked astrong community reactionsince it involved threemembers of the well-knownCompany of Fools theatercompany.
Certified public account-ant and actor Greg Cappel,who was struck whilestopped waiting to turnnorth onto Highway 75, wasflown to Saint AlphonsusRegional Medical Center inBoise for treatment. Hiswife, actress DeniseSimone, and her daughter,Russell Wilson, were treatedfor injuries at St. Luke’sWood River Medical Centerin Ketchum.
“I was furious when Ilearned about Greg’s acci-dent, in part because I knew
him,” said Hailey residentKaz Thea. “I thought: Whenare they ever going to takecare of this problem? Howmany accidents? How manynear-deaths is it going totake until they get it right?”
Thea added that she getsnervous every time sheapproaches the intersec-tion, particularly when shehas her son in the car withher.
“I think a roundabout is abetter solution than a stopsign,” she said. “But, at leastwith a stop sign, cars com-ing from all four directionswill have to stop. So what ifit takes us another coupleminutes to get where we’regoing?!”
Simone said her familywas overjoyed this weekwhen state Rep. WendyJaquet, D-Ketchum,informed them of theplanned stop signs.
“A red light, in our case,would probably have meantour accident didn’t occur,”Simone said. “We’ve beengoing: ‘Please do some-thing. There’s been toomany people injured orkilled there.’ Knowing thatwe might have been part ofmaking that change happenwill be helpful as we gothrough this long recovery.”
Sun Valley CityCouncilman Nils Ribi saidhe was glad to see some-thing being done, as heviews cutting down on acci-dents at the intersection ahigher priority than thehighway expansion ITDplans between Hailey andKetchum. But, he said astoplight would make moresense than stop signs. Andthough he likes the idea of a
roundabout, he said hewants one done right.
“If a two-lane round-about would be safer, I hopethey won’t cut corners justfor the sake of savingmoney,” he said. “And safetyis more important thanworrying about the wet-lands.”
Jerke said stop signs wereinstalled at the intersectionfor east-west traffic on U.S.20 in the early 1990s. Whendrivers began blowingthrough them, ITD installedyellow flashing lights a half-mile from the intersectionon both sides of U.S. 20,along with rumble strips toalert drivers to be preparedto stop.
Now, accidents areincreasing and they’re moresevere, even though thenumber of vehicles passingthrough the intersection hasdropped during the reces-sion. That prompted ITD toevaluate the safety of theintersection last summer, hesaid.
“Why the number of acci-dents is increasing there isthe million-dollar question.There is no explanation,”Jerke said. “We have thesame features so it must be achange in driving habits.”

WikiLeaks uses Swiss Webaddress as options narrowBy John HeilprinAssociated Press writer
GENEVA — WikiLeaks’elu-sive founder,his options dwin-dling, has turned toSwitzerland’s credit,postal andInternet infrastructure to keephis online trove of U.S. StateDepartment cables afloat.
Supporters say JulianAssange is considering seekingasylum in Switzerland. He tolda Spanish newspaper that hefaced “hundreds of deaththreats,’’ including some tar-geting his lawyers and chil-dren, aside from the pressurehe is getting from prosecutorsin the U.S.and other countries.
After a number of web com-panies dropped WikiLeaks,much of the site’s traffic wascoming through the wik-ileaks.ch Web address Sunday.The address is controlled bythe Swiss Pirate Party, a groupthat formed two years ago tocampaign for freedom ofinformation. The site’s mainserver in France went offlinebut it remained reachablethrough a Swedish server.
The site showed Assangehad begun seeking donationsto an account under his namethrough the Swiss postal sys-
tem in Bern, the Swiss capital,while also using a Swiss-Icelandic credit card process-ing center and other accountsin Iceland and Germany. Helost a major source of revenuewhen the online paymentservice provider PayPal cut offthe WikiLeaks account overthe weekend.
Assange has been widelypraised and criticized.Supporters view him as a sav-ior of the media and freespeech; critics vilify him forbrazenly unleashing diplomat-ic secrets, as well as for earlierleaks involving the wars in Iraqand Afghanistan.
U.S. Senate Republicanleader Mitch McConnell calledAssange “a high-tech terror-ist.’’ He told NBC’s “Meet thePress’’ he hopes Assange willbe prosecuted for the “enor-mous damage’’the disclosureshave done to the country and toits relationship with its allies.
But even as governmentsput pressure on Assange,
WikiLeaks lives on. The SwissPirate Party said Sunday thatwikileaks.ch was receivingabout 3,000 visitors a second.
The party also said support-ers are creating “mirrors’’ ofthe WikiLeaks site on theirown servers, meaning that thediplomatic cables will remainavailable even if WikiLeaksloses its own site.
“Even if you take down theserver in Sweden, it’s too late,’’Swiss Pirate Party VicePresident Pascal Gloor toldThe Associated Press onSunday.
“There are hundreds of mir-rors of WikiLeaks now,’’ hesaid. “It’s a test for Internetcensorship. Can governmentstake something off the Net? Ithink not. There are copies ofthe website everywhere.’’
PayPal,a subsidiary of U.S.-based online marketplaceoperator eBay Inc., said it cutoff the WikiLeaks websitebecause it was engaged in ille-gal activity.

COEUR D’ALENE —Patrols will be stepped up tocatch snowmobilers illegallyriding in a caribou recoveryarea in northern Idaho andeastern Washington state, afederal official says.
Joan Jewett, a spokes-woman for the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service, said mostsnowmobilers obey the rulesbut some ignore boundariesintended to help federallyprotected woodland caribouin the Selkirk Mountains.
“The caribou herd in theSelkirk Mountains is highlyendangered, so it’s reallyimperative not to disturbthese animals during a timeof year when they’re chal-lenged anyway,’’ she told TheSpokesman-Review.
Jewett said law enforce-ment officials from Fish andWildlife, the U.S. ForestService, Idaho Departmentof Fish and Game, and theWashington Department of
Fish and Wildlife will coor-dinate patrols.
Snowmobilers can pick upfree maps of legal trails in theregion.
“For the most part, we’vehad really good compliance,’’Jewett said.
Snowmobilers caught in aclosed area face up to a $500fine for potential federalEndangered Species Actviolations.
She said extreme viola-tions could be sent to theU.S. Attorney’s office, withpossible penalties of jail timeand up to $100,000 in fines.
Officials say less than 50caribou are thought toremain in the Selkirk herd,the last in the lower 48states.
The caribou survive inwinter above the snow lineby eating lichens hanging onsubalpine firs or snags.
Jewett said snowmobilescan force caribou to expendenergy they need to survivethe winter.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP)— A Utah legislator usedcampaign donations to takehis family to a traveling cir-cus. Others bought freewayexpress passes, rentedapartments or paid drycleaning bills with politicalcontributions.
The Salt Lake Tribunereported Sunday that leg-islative candidates spent $1of every $5 they raised thisyear on themselves orfriends despite restrictionsin a new law.
Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield, told the news-paper he will pay a fine andreimburse his campaignaccount for spending $128to take his family to theRingling Brothers andBarnum & Bailey Circus.
Ray — a former circusperformer himself — saidRingling Brothers used togive legislators two freetickets but stopped whenthe Legislature adopted thelimits on personal use ofcampaign donations.
The law’s sponsor, Rep.Tim Cosgrove, D-Murray,said it put a stop to legisla-tors’ reimbursing them-selves for the loss of a salaryduring the annual lawmak-ing session, or pocketingthe leftover contributionsat retirement. It alsoappears to have stoppedcandidates buying or fixingcars with campaign money.
The measure bansspending on clothing, rent,sporting or artistic events,cars and travel, but allowsexceptions when thoseexpenditures are made for apolitical or official purpose.
That means Rep. MikeNoel, R-Kanab, probablydidn’t violate the law byspending $3,490 from hiscampaign to rent an apart-ment in Salt Lake City dur-ing the last session,Cosgrove told the newspa-per.

Unabomber’s Montana land for sale; ‘very secluded’LINCOLN, Mont. (AP) —
A 1.4-acre parcel of land inwestern Montana that wasonce owned by UnabomberTed Kaczynski is on the mar-ket for $69,500.
The listing — by JohnPistelak Realty of Lincoln —offers potential buyers achance to own a piece of“infamous U.S. history.’’
“This is a one of a kindproperty and is obviouslyvery secluded,’’ the listingsays. It doesn’t say who
owns the property.The forested land, which
had been listed at $154,500,does not have electricity orrunning water. Photos post-ed with the online listingshow tall trees, chain-linkfences topped by barbedwire and a tree with “FBI’’carved into it, though it’s notclear why. Pistelak saidFriday he couldn’t immedi-ately comment on the list-ing, and he didn’t returnphone messages on Sunday.
The property does notinclude Kaczynski’s cabin,which is on display at theNewseum in Washington,D.C.
Kaczynski is serving a lifesentence for killing threepeople and injuring 23 dur-ing a nationwide bombingspree between 1978 and1995. The Harvard-trainedmathematician railedagainst the effects ofadvanced technology andled authorities on the
nation’s longest and costli-est manhunt before hisbrother tipped off lawenforcement in 1996.
Kaczynski was captured atthe Lincoln, Mont., cabin inApril 1996. He pleadedguilty in 1998, and is housedin a maximum securityprison in Colorado.
Government investigatorslabeled him the Unabomberbecause some of his attackswere directed at universityscholars.

R-Orem, could make a casefor spending $234 to buyfreeway express lane passes,while Rep.Neal Hendrickson,D-West Valley City, canspend $122 on dry cleaning,Cosgrove said.
“If you really want to find aloophole, you probably can,’’Cosgrove said. “But I think itis important that we are asconscientious with moneyfrom campaign donors as weare with money from taxpay-ers. It was given to help ourcampaigns, and it should beused for that.’’
Pre-election disclosurereports show that legislativecandidates spent a combined$2.5 million on their cam-paigns.
Most of the donations leg-islators receive are from spe-cial interests. The Salt LakeTribune calculated that $19 ofevery $20 candidates raisedcame from corporations,political action committees,parties, lobbyists, otherpoliticians, individuals out-side of lawmakers’districts orlawmakers’ own pockets.

Elouise Cobell, right, looks on as Deputy Secretary of the Interior David Hayes testifies in December 2009 during a Senate Indian AffairsCommittee hearing in Washington, D.C. Native Americans who sued the federal government over lost royalties have been waiting nearly 15 yearsfor the $3.4 billion settlement Congress passed last month. Now they'll have to wait some more. The plaintiffs expect it will be at least nextAugust before Indian trust landowners see a dime, and six months after that before the last claims are settled with trust account holders.
By Matt VolzAssociated Press writer
HELENA, Mont. — NativeAmericans who sued thefederal government over lostroyalties have been waitingnearly 15 years for the $3.4 billion settlementCongress passed last month.Now they’ll have to waitsome more.
The plaintiffs expect it willbe at least next August beforeIndian trust landowners see adime, and six months afterthat before the last claims aresettled with trust accountholders.
That’s because when thepolitical wrangling ends, thered tape begins.
The lead plaintiff in theclass-action lawsuit, ElouiseCobell of Browning, Mont.,said the biggest obstacle byfar to the settlement wasobtaining congressionalapproval — indeed, it tooknearly a year and a couple offalse starts before the Senateauthorized the deal.
“I want to run out andthank the whole world forgetting it through theSenate,’’ Cobell told TheAssociated Press. “We stillhave work to do. One thingabout this case,it hasn’t beeneasy. You don’t take anythingfor granted. You make sure itall gets approved.’’
Once President BarackObama signs the legislation,the settlement must still gothrough a gauntlet of courthearings, a media campaignto notify beneficiaries, wait-ing periods for commentsand appeals. Even after thefirst checks are cut,it will stilltake months more to sort
through the process ofdeciding who should orshould not be included as aplaintiff — a number that willlikely end up somewherebetween 300,000 and550,000, plaintiffs’ repre-sentatives said.
“Making sure it is a fairprocess takes time,’’ saidGeoffrey Rempel, anaccountant consulting forCobell’s Washington, D.C.,legal team.
The dispute began overproperty owned by theIndians and held in trust bythe government. TheDepartment of Interior leas-es that land to others forfarming or resource develop-ment, and is supposed to paythe Indians the money gen-erated by the land intoIndividual Indian Moneytrust accounts, or IIMs.
Those IIMs were created in1887 by lawmakers whobelieved at the time thatIndians could not handletheir own financial affairs.
But Cobell found there wasno real accounting of howmuch money was in the trustpool of IIM accounts. Sheestimated the amount ofmoney mishandled, stolen orsquandered from thoseaccounts over the last centu-ry may actually total morethan $100 billion.
Under the settlement, $1.5billion would go to individualIndian account holders.Another $1.9 billion wouldbe used by the governmentto buy up fractionatedIndian lands from individualowners willing to sell, andthen turn those lands over totribes. Another $60 millionwould be used for a scholar-
ship fund for Indian stu-dents.
But it will take time todivvy up that $3.4 billion pie.
The White House said ithas not picked a date to signthe legislation. which alsoincludes a $1.2 billion settle-ment with black farmers whosay they were discriminatedagainst. The Cobell plaintiffssaid they expect the signingto happen this week.
If that happens, Rempelsaid, it will kick off a compli-cated process that wouldspan into early 2012 in a best-case scenario.
First, a preliminary courthearing would be scheduledfor mid-December. Thathearing would trigger a 30-day ramp-up notice to buyadvertisements and get thematerial together for theclass notification.
Under that time frame, the90-day class notificationperiod involving ad cam-paigns would begin inJanuary and run until April.Another 30-day period isrequired after that to give theparties a chance to respondto any questions that comeup.
The settlement wouldthen be finalized at a fairnesshearing, which would be heldin May in this scenario. Anybeneficiary who wished tocomment on the settlementwould be able to speak, andthe judge would then give hisfinal ruling.
Another 60-day waitingperiod would follow thathearing, during which timeany party can appeal thecourt’s ruling. The deal isfinal after that period elaps-es, which would be August in
this scenario.Only then would the first
checks go to the 337,000plaintiffs in the lawsuit’s firstclass, the group known as the“historical accounting class’’who have been identified bythe Department of Interiorsince 1994, just before thelawsuit was filed, Rempelsaid.
The historical class mem-bers would receive $1,000each.
Then Rempel expects it totake another six months todetermine who is entitled toreceive a portion of the set-tlement in the second class ofthe lawsuit, the trust admin-istration class.
Those plaintiffs, whichcan also include Indiansfrom the historical class,could receive anywherebetween $500 to $1 millioneach, depending on the esti-mated value of their trustaccounts.
But the InteriorDepartment has lost track ofsome beneficiary records,have records that may be inconflict or have old addressesfor beneficiaries, Rempelsaid.
So the lead plaintiffs areexpecting it to take anothersix months to sort and decidethe applications fromIndians wishing to be includ-ed in that class, Rempel said.
But even with all that redtape still ahead, NativeAmericans should not letthat dilute their victory,Cobell said.
“I just hope that they (thebeneficiaries) get the word,they can rejoice and feel thatmaybe justice has beendelivered,’’ Cobell said.

PORTLAND, Maine —Lobster fishermen are knownfor bragging about who hasthe fastest boat or the biggestpickup truck.
Now, some of the top lob-ster-fishing ports in NewEngland are claiming braggingrights about who has thebiggest and best Christmastree created from lobster traps.As the holiday season gets intofull swing, a new lobster traptree in eastern Maine is stirringthe pot.
Gloucester, Mass., startedthe trap-to-tree tradition 12years ago, and Rockland,Maine, followed five yearslater. Both are threatening tobe upstaged this year by thesmall lobstering town of Beals,Maine, which is getting intothe act with a monster treethat stands 50 feet tall.
Albert Carver, a seafooddistributor who helped spear-head Beals’ upstart effort,couldn’t resist taking a poke atRockland and Gloucester.
“They’re nice beginnertrees,’’Carver said when askedabout the trees in Rocklandand Gloucester. “I mean, they
are a little small.’’The groups that put up the
trees say they draw attentionto the ports’ maritime her-itage, bring people togetherand raise money for goodcauses.
The tree in Beals helps raisesmoney for the Beals-Jonesport Fourth of July fes-tivities and the one inGloucester benefits a non-profit devoted to the arts. InRockland, the tree is majorfundraiser for Rockland MaineStreet Inc., a nonprofit thatoversees the tree and sells $50raffle tickets for a chance towin 100 traps.
When it comes to lobster,nobody tops Maine, wherefishermen last year harvested78 million pounds of thestate’s signature seafood.Massachusetts fishermencaught about 11.6 millionpounds.
Despite that gap,Gloucesterwas the first fishing port toerect a towering tree-shapedpile of traps adorned withlights and lobster buoys asornaments. The downtowntree is about 30 feet high withseveral hundred traps toppedwith a 5-foot star made out oflobster trap wire.
Rockland, which is Maine’slobster capital,followed with atree of its own with traps man-ufactured by a local lobstertrap company. This year’s treeis 38 feet tall with 152 traps,more than 125 lobster buoys,480 feet of garland and 3,000white lights, topped with a 5-foot fiberglass lobster.
Last month, a new trap treeappeared.
At 50 feet high with a base27½ feet across, the tree inBeals is the biggest of them all.It’s topped with a mannequindressed as a fisherwomanwearing yellow oilskins, look-ing out to sea as if waiting forher fisherman husband toreturn home.
The Beals tree may be thebiggest, but the Rockland treeis lit with spotlights that illu-minate it from the inside out,and is built using a “secret’’engineering formula, saidLorain Francis, executivedirector of Rockland MainStreet Inc.
Besides, the DiscoveryChannel sent a film crew toRockland — not Gloucester orBeals — to take footage of thetree for a future episode onextreme Christmas trees, shesaid.

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii— The morning of Dec. 7,1941, Yeoman 2nd ClassDurrell Conner was wrappingChristmas presents aboardthe USS California when heheard a commotion. Peeringthrough a porthole of thebattleship, the 23-year-oldsaw an airplane approachinglow.
“He dropped something,and as he banked away I sawthe red emblem of theJapanese on his wings so Iknew we were under attack,’’Conner said. “He droppedthe torpedo that struck theship right below where I wasstanding.’’
The battleship shook likean earthquake, and the cryp-tographer rushed to his battlestation where he coded anddecoded messages for theCalifornia’s commander.Since no messages werecoming in, he joined a chainpassing ammunition toMarines and sailors firingguns on the deck.
Another Japanese planedropped a 500-pound bombon the California, sinking theship. The vessel lost nearly100 of its 1,800 officers andcrew.
On Tuesday, Conner plansto return to Pearl Harboralong with about 120 othersurvivors for a ceremony inremembrance of those whodied in the Japanese attack 69years ago. About 580 familyand friends are due to jointhem, as are several hundredmembers of the public.
The Navy and the NationalPark Service are jointly host-ing the event at a grassy siteacross the harbor from thesunken hull of the USSArizona, where 1,177 liveswere lost. In all, some 2,400sailors, Marines and soldierswere killed in the attack.
Conner, 92, attended theannual remembrance for thefirst time last year with hisdaughter.
He so enjoyed the displaysof patriotism and tributes —including the sailors who linedthe deck of the USS Lake Erieguided missile cruiser as itrendered honors to theArizona — that he’s comingback with his wife, fourdaughters and their husbands,and several grandchildren.
“The patriotic feeling thateverybody had — it was justwonderful,’’ Conner said. “Idecided from then on, if Iphysically would be able, Iwould be there every year.’’
He reckons he’ll keep com-ing back for a while.
“I play golf three times aweek. I hope to be around foranother five or 10 years,’’Conner said in a telephoneinterview from his home inSun City, Calif.
This year, Conner will rep-resent the California by lay-ing a wreath for his fallenshipmates during the cere-mony.
“It’s really quite an honor,’’he said.
Conner,who made a careerin the Navy after the war,saidhe probably wasn’t as sur-prised by the Sunday morn-ing assault as some of his fel-low sailors because he hadrecently decoded a messagefrom Washington telling hisship to be on the alert for a
sneak attack.His commanders, though,
didn’t envision they’d befighting airplanes. Theyexpected Japanese in Hawaiito somehow sabotage them— something that never hap-pened.
“Everyday I was wonder-ing ‘Well is it going to betoday?’ — kind of laughingbecause I thought they werebeing overcautious,’’ Connersaid.
He recalled simply getting towork when the attack began.
“I just took it in stride,triedto do what was asked of me,’’said Conner.
At about 10 o’clock,Conner noticed the Stars andStripes wasn’t flying abovethe California because theassault began just as Marinesusually raised the colors at 8a.m. He saw the Marines haddropped the flag on the deckas they rushed to return fire.
So Conner and a seamanraised the flag,giving troops a
morale boost as they strug-gled to fight back and save thewounded while battleshipsburned and sank.
“It should be up, and Iknew it would raise morale,’’he said. “There was a motorlaunch going by right at thestern, and I knew some of thepeople, and they yelled myname and they said ‘Hey!’and cheered. It was quite athrill.’’
Conner is looking forwardto seeing the new $56 millionPearl Harbor visitor’s centerthe National Park Service justfinished building to replacean older structure that had tobe scrapped because it wassinking.
It has twice the exhibitionspace of the old facility,offer-ing the 1.6 million peoplewho visit the USS ArizonaMemorial each year a deeperunderstanding of the attackthat pushed the U.S. intoWorld War II.
Conner hopes the newcenter will help the publicremember the lessons of Dec.7, particularly the need to beprepared.
“For anything that mighthappen. There are a lot ofpeople that don’t like us andwould like to see usdestroyed. We have to keepalert all the time,’’ he said.

Facebook’s new facelift plays up photos, friendsBy Barbara OrtutayAssociated Press writer
NEW YORK — Facebookis redesigning the profilepages of its 500 million-plususers to make it more of areflection of their real livesand emphasize photos, oneof the site’s most popularfeatures.
Facebook said in a blogpost Sunday the changes aremeant to make it easier forusers to tell their story —who they are, where theywork, their life philosophyand the most importantpeople in their lives. Thechanges place a biggeremphasis on visuals, fromphotos to images of users’interests.
A new biography sectionincludes not just who you areand where you live but a setof the most recent photosthat your friends have“tagged” you in. Previouslyusers had to click on a tab tosee the latest photos on aprofile. Users can also fea-ture important friends intheir profile, while previous-
ly only random selectionappeared. And in addition tolisting their job, users cannow add the projects theyworked on. It’s all a movetoward curating a morecomplete picture of a person,something that will likelyappeal to Facebook’s adver-tisers. The company did notmake any changes to its pri-vacy policy as part of theredesign.
Facebook unveiled thechanges ahead of an appear-ance on 60 Minutes by CEOMark Zuckerberg Sundayevening. Zuckerberg, 26,talked about the profile pageredesign, Facebook’s hard-working culture of all-nightcoding sessions, as well ashis take on “The SocialNetwork,” the movie aboutFacebook’s beginning thatdoesn’t cast him in a veryflattering light.
“I think that they got everysingle T-shirt that they hadthe Mark Zuckerberg char-acter wearing right. I think Iactually own those T-shirts,”Zuckerberg told 60 Minutes’Lesley Stahl in the interview.
“But I mean, there arehugely basic things that theygot wrong, too,” he added.“(They) made it seem like mywhole motivation for build-ing Facebook was so I couldget girls, right? And theycompletely left out the factthat my girlfriend, I’ve beendating since before I startedFacebook.”
Asked about an initialpublic offering of Facebook,Zuckerberg said “You know,maybe.”
“A lot of people who Ithink build start-ups orcompanies think that sellingthe company or going publicis this endpoint,” he said.“Right,it’s like you win whenyou go public. And that’s justnot how I see it.”
On Facebook, even smallchanges to users’ homepages tend to meet withprotests from a small butvocal fraction of users whowant things to stay the waythey are. In an attempt topre-empt this, Facebook isrolling out the changes slow-ly, letting users — for thetime being — decide whether
they want to display the newprofile layout or the old one.The new layout will be avail-able to all users by early nextyear, the company said.
The latest changes comeas Facebook intensifies itscompetition with onlinesearch leader Google Inc. asthe primary destination foranyone using the Internet.The changes streamlineusers profile pages so it’seasier to see the things thatmatter the most, rather thana chronological stream of thelatest wall posts, links andphotos they posted. Userscan also see how theirFacebook lives intertwinewith their friends by clickingon a “See Friendship” link onthe top right hand page oftheir friends’ profiles.
“You can see all the thingsthat you have in commonwith that person,”Zuckerberg said. “And it’sjust like, it gives you thisamazing connection withthat person in a way that thecurrent version of the profilethat we have today justdoesn’t do.”
Auburn, Oregon give BCS title game new lookBy Ralph D. RussoAssociated Press writer
A season spent talkingabout BCS busters will endwith another clash of the bigboys — just not the oneswe’ve gotten used to seeingin the title game.
Alabama and Texas?Florida and Oklahoma? OhioState? Southern California?
Not this year.BCS title game first-
timers Auburn and Oregonwill bring perfect recordsand potent offenses toGlendale, Ariz., for their Jan.10 matchup in Glendale,Ariz.
The Bowl ChampionshipSeries were made official
Sunday night, a formalityafter the top-ranked Tigersand No. 2 Ducks completedunbeaten seasons Saturday.
Those outsiders fromTCU and Boise State werecloser than ever before toplaying for college football’sbiggest prize. But the third-ranked Horned Frogs, thenation’s only other undefeat-ed team, couldn’t overcomeplaying in the lightly regardedMountain West Conferenceand will have to settle for atrip to the Rose Bowl. As forBoise State, one loss was onetoo many, and the Broncosended up out of the BCS alto-gether this season.
The other BCS matchupsannounced Sunday were:
TCU against Big Ten co-champ Wisconsin in the RoseBowl; Arkansas and OhioState, which also won a shareof the Big Ten title, in theSugar Bowl; Big 12 championOklahoma taking on Big Eastco-champ Connecticut inthe Fiesta Bowl; and, No. 5Stanford playing ACC title-winner Virginia Tech in theOrange Bowl.
While teams from thepower conferences will playfor the biggest prize of all, theTigers and Ducks still repre-sent a changing of the guard intheir own way.
Since the BCS was born in1998,its title game has almostalways been stocked with col-lege football’s blue bloods and
programs with championshippedigrees.
Auburn has one nationaltitle to its credit — and it camein 1957. That’s one more thanOregon has. In fact, the Ducksare just the second team in the13-year history of the BCS toreach the championship gamelooking for the program’s firstnational title. Virginia Techwas the first in 1999.
Also, this title game willbe just the second, notincluding the inaugural BCSchampionship in 1998, withtwo teams that have neverbeen there before. The otherwas in 2001, when Nebraskaand Miami — not exactly acouple of upstarts — playedfor the crystal ball.

BOISE – After plenty oframpant speculation thatBoise State was headed tothe MAACO Bowl LasVegas to play 19th-rankedUtah, the Broncos headcoach Chris Petersen madeit official Sunday eveningat a press conference.
“We are going to LasVegas,” Petersen said.“We’re really, really excitedabout it. … If you’re notplaying in one of those BCSgames,one of the attractivegames is one that’s playedbefore Christmas.”
The MAACO Bowl in LasVegas will be held on Dec.21 at 6 p.m. at Sam BoydStadium. Both teams willreceive a $1 million payout.
Boise State had to dosome finagling to get out ofKraft Fight Hunger Bowl,which is scheduled for Jan.9, 2011, in San Francisco. Itwould have pitted theBroncos against the ACC’sninth-place team BostonCollege (7-5).
Instead, Boise State getsUtah, one of the top non-automatic qualifying con-ference teams that are leav-ing the Mountain Westafter this season for thePAC-10.
“What I think is goodabout this is that through-out the season there was alot of talk about Boise Stateand Utah and TCU aboutthe three of us trying to breakinto the BCS as the seasonwent on,” Petersen said.“So,one of us made it to thedance and the other two getto play each other.”
This season, the KraftFight Hunger Bowl had thefirst selection of WAC teamsand was leaning towardchoosing Boise State,but thelate date of the game and thelow quality of opponent hadthe Broncos scrambling to goelsewhere. Nevada will faceBoston College in the KraftFight Hunger Bowl.
“We’re pleased that it’sworked out the way that that
it has,” Boise State athleticdirector Gene Bleymaiersaid. “From my perspective,I always try to look at amatchup and try to get thebest opponent that we can.We’ve been fortunate tocome up with goodmatchups. Fortunately, thathappened again today.”
Earlier this fall afterannouncing its impendingmove to the PAC-10, Utahcancelled three remaininggames out of a four-gameseries with Boise State,as theUtes chose to pay $600,000to buyout the remaininggames.
After Saturday night’sgame against Utah State,Petersen said he had a bowlthat he preferred for theBroncos to play in,but didn’treveal his preference.Sunday evening, he said itwas indeed the MAACOBowl Las Vegas, mostly dueto the lobbying done by hisplayers.
“I always prefer when itcomes to a bowl game to dowhat our players prefer,”saidPetersen, who said the earlydate was the top factor theplayers wanted to play in thegame. “That’s what theywanted. I don’t know howthey put it together or howthere could be a shot at that.
“But a couple of the play-ers came to me (aboutwanting to play in theMAACO Bowl) and wetalked to Gene. And he did agreat job of making every-thing to work.”
The MAACO Bowl LasVegas, which is a little overtwo weeks away, doesn’t giveBoise State the extra practicetime that some coaches want.But Petersen doesn’t mind.
“I’ve gone different than alot of people think,” Petersensaid. “I worry about burningour guys out too much any-way.We’ve got spring ball andafter they come back afterChristmas break, they’ll hitthe weight room and beready.
“I think (the short time)is good because we’re inthat rhythm anyway.”

Seattle tops Carolina 31-14 Tim BoothAssociated Press writer
SEATTLE — A trio oftouchdowns from Mar-shawn Lynch and a nearlyperfect third quarter madeup for one miserable half bythe Seattle Seahawks.
Lynch scored on a pair of1-yard runs in the thirdquarter, sandwiched aroundLofa Tatupu’s 26-yard inter-ception return for a score,and the Seahawks ralliedfrom a 14-0 deficit for a crit-ical 31-14 win over thePanthers on Sunday.
Lynch added a 22-yardtouchdown in the fourthquarter for the first three-touchdown day of his careeras Seattle overcame injuries totheir top two receivers and anawful first-half performanceto stay even with St. Louison top of the NFC West.
Lynch ran 21 times for 83yards, his most since post-ing a season-high 89 yardsagainst Arizona nearly sixweeks ago, and Seattle’s 162yards rushing were a sea-son-best. Matt Hasselbeckwas intercepted twice, butthrew for 229 yards despitelosing receivers MikeWilliams and Ben Obomanuto injury.
Appearing headed for aseason-deflating loss to theworst team in the NFL,Seattle rebounded with 21points in the third quarter,
thanks to a trio of big playsand one extremely embar-rassing moment.
Seattle scored on theopening drive of the half,going 96-yard after LeonWashington muffed thesecond-half kickoff. JustinForsett darted for 31 yardsto set up the first of Lynch’stwo touchdowns.
Three plays after thescore, and on third-and-1,the Panthers (1-11) opted togo away from JonathanStewart and have rookiequarterback Jimmy Clausenthrow for fullback TonyFiammetta in the flat. Thepass never got toFiammetta. Tatupu neverbroke stride cutting off thethrow and jogging the 26yards and stunningly givingSeattle a 17-14 lead.
And Washington nearlymade it 24-14 on his own,only to get punished forshowing off. Washingtonappeared headed for his firstpunt return touchdown ofthe season, fielding JasonBaker’s kick at his 14 andbreaking clear of thePanthers coverage with onlyBaker to beat. Washingtoneven starting raising a fingerat about the Panthers 40,but Baker never stopped hispursuit and caughtWashing-ton’s right footabout the 10 and forcing himto fall at the Panthers 2.
Seattle’s third-quarterblitz was a stunning turn-around from a lacklusterfirst half when Seattle’soffense failed to make a firstdown in the first quarter fora second straight week .

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.— Some general managershad just arrived at the wintermeetings and some were noteven at the winter meetingsyet when the WashingtonNationals made a startlingannouncement Sundayevening: They had agreedwith right fielder JaysonWerth on a $126 million,seven-year contract.
“I thought they were try-ing to reduce the deficit inWashington,” new Metsgeneral manager SandyAlderson said.
The 31-year-old Werth,who helped the Phillies winthe 2008 World Series title,hit.296 this year in his fourth andfinal season with Philadelphia.He had an NL-high 46 dou-bles,27 homers and 85 RBIs.
“To just spend money wild-ly on people is not the point.What we’re going to do is cre-ate an atmosphere ... of win-ning,” Werth said on a confer-ence call.
“I signed here to win, and Ibelieve that we’re going towin. It’s going to be a chal-lenge, it’s going to take some
time,” he said.His agreement was
announced two days after theNationals’ cleanup hitter,Adam Dunn, left for a $56million, four-year contractwith the Chicago White Sox.
“We took some light criti-cism about Adam Dunnleaving,” Nationals managerJim Riggleman said, speakingin the news conference roomafter the announcement.“People said it was themoney. But it’s not about themoney, as this deal shows.We gave Jayson Werth more.”
Werth’s contract matchedthe 12th-largest among cur-rent players, a huge deal for aplayer with only one All-Starselection to his credit. Andcoming relatively early in thefree-agent market, it couldhave a trickle-down forothers seeking new deals.
“Makes some of our con-tracts look pretty good,”said Alderson, whose Metshave been saddled withhigh-priced, underper-forming players. “It’s along time and a lot ofmoney.”

IIdaho’s first responders come from a jumbleof private companies, cities and counties,ambulance and fire districts — and 2,700volunteers. These agencies and personalitiesoften don’t cooperate, leading to duplication
and gaps in service.Why should you care? Because minutes count if
you’ve been injured in a car wreck or suffered aheart attack.
The Legislature’s Office of PerformanceEvaluations released a report on the issue last week,with some concerete suggestions that lawmakersshould take seriously.
Turf wars have gotten so bad that when AdaCounty passed an ordinance in 2007 to regulateemergency medical services in the county and setstandards for those services, it also sued the KunaFire Distict for expanding its level of service with-out the county’s permission. The court sided withthe fire district, and told the county that under cur-rent laws, it couldn’t regulate the services in citiesor other governmental subdivisions within thecounty, just in between them.
That’s crazy, and it puts lives in jeopardy.The OPE report’s recommendations call for a new
framework for EMS, based around countywideEMS systems that leave no gaps in coverage. It alsosuggests establishing local or regional governingauthorities and a medical director to coordinate thelocal systems; an increased role for the IdahoEmergency Medical Services Bureau, which doesthe licensing; and revisions in the funding structurefor EMS.
That will be no easy task. There are about 200licensed EMS agencies in Idaho with roughly 4,500emergency medical workers.
History has shown these stakeholders are unlike-ly to coordinate their efforts unless the state insistsupon it. As the OPE pointed out, somebody has tobe in charge.

Fixing Idaho’s emergency medical

WWASHINGTON —According to arecent CNN poll,
60 percent of Americansunder 60 and 70 percent ofthose under 50 believe thatSocial Security will not beable to pay them a benefitwhen they retire.
In reality, the likelihoodthat any living American’sSocial Security benefits willnot be paid to them whenthey retire is about the sameas the probability that therewill be no U.S. governmentat that time.
Is anybody banking onthat? Of course if you aregoing to take somethingaway from people, the firststep is to convince themthat it wasn’t really there inthe first place.
What makes the wholedeception even more fasci-nating is that everyone isusing the same assumptionsabout the future and thesame numbers.
The common source foreveryone writing and talk-ing about Social Security isthe annual Social SecurityTrustees Report. This showsthat the program can pay allpromised benefits for thenext 27 years, without anychanges at all. If nothing isdone over the next 27 years,only about 75 percent ofscheduled benefits would bepayable in 2037; but thatwould still be more thanwhat retirees receive today,after adjusting for inflation.
So, according to theassumptions and facts thateveryone who writes ortalks about Social Securityis using, there is no basis forthe belief that the majorityof Americans under 60hold.
Since this deception isnot about Afghanistan orsome country on the otherside of the world, but abouta program that mails acheck to nearly 25 percent ofAmerican adults eachmonth, it is all the moreamazing.
The enemies of SocialSecurity have pulled off oneof the greatest public rela-tions scams in U.S. history.
What makes this sub-terfuge unique is that it is allbased on verbal andaccounting trickery.
For example, it is com-mon to combine SocialSecurity and Medicarespending and say that theircosts will become unsus-tainable. The trick here isthat it is Medicare, notSocial Security, that leads tothe explosion in publicspending.
And perhaps moreimportant: it is not theaging population orMedicare itself that is theproblem, but the UnitedStates’ private-sector healthcare costs. If these were inline with any other high-income country such asGermany or Canada, ourlong-term budget deficitwould turn into a surplus.
Not that Social Securityhas contributed anything tothe budget deficit — theprogram is still running asurplus. The granny-bash-
ers try to weasel their wayaround this too by pretend-ing that the Social SecurityTrust Fund — currently atmore than $2.5 trillion —doesn’t exist. But theTreasury obligations held bythe Trust Fund are as real asthe U.S. government bondsheld by any private mutualor pension fund, or the ten-dollar bill in your wallet.
Of course all this decep-tion would not be possible ifthe media did its job andreported the basic facts — aswhen someone saysPresident Obama is aMuslim, the media notesthat he is a Christian. Ofcourse, some people willstill believe whatever, butwe wouldn’t have a majoritylost in the fog on this issue.
This huge scam is themost obvious reason toreject any benefit cuts to
Social Security — includingraising the retirement age.This is a very regressive cutthat hurts lower-incomeworkers the most, sincemany have jobs that are toophysically demanding towork longer; and since theirlife expectancy has notincreased along with that ofhigher-income employees.
We need at least a decadejust to inform the public ofthe basic facts, before wecan decide how to make therelatively small adjustmentsthat Social Security mayneed to maintain long-termsolvency.

I can’t understand theproposed wage freeze thatthe president has come upwith. If he is going to freezethe wages of the workingpopulation, why not includeCongress, its staff and theU.S. Postal Service?
It is time that we startedgetting into our politiciansheads that what is good forthe general public shouldalso be good for them. Itseems to me that we are ontwo standards, one for ourpoliticians and one for thenon-politicians.
It’s a fact that the objec-tives of most of our politi-cians is to make sure theyhave all the perks they can getand then think about the citi-zens, if there is any left over.

Crapo takes stand on federal deficit
Now is the time for lead-ers to stand up and addressour burgeoning nationaldebt. Idaho has such aleader in Sen. Mike Crapo,
who has made the bold stepto support the current pro-posal by the NationalCommission on FiscalResponsibility and Reform.
The measure seeks thefirst comprehensive path-way to a fiscally responsiblefuture for America. Is itperfect? No. Is it incrediblyimportant for securing ourchildren’s and grandchil-dren’s economic and peace-ful well-being? Absolutely!
I urge Idaho to standbehind Sen. Crapo and allwho work to reduce the fed-eral deficit and secure futureeconomic opportunities forour country.

School district shouldreassess its priorities
I’ll make this short butnot necessarily sweet. Thefailed Cassia County bondelection was ill-timed. Yes,availability of money is apertinent consideration butnot the only element to beconsidered. There were
other factors in play whichwould involve the expendi-ture of money — a given inany bond election whichinfluenced the voters whovoted no.
First of all, the elementsof the bond were a virtualslap in the face to districtteachers and auxiliary per-sonnel whose reducedincome was not a priority inthis proposal. This is not thetime to build gyms butrather a time to be con-cerned with classroom sizeand availability of student-teacher contact. I believethis to be a primary con-cern, not only to education-al staff, but to all who careabout our area’s students. Ihave not spoken to a teacheryet who is not concernedabout the welfare of the stu-dents in their charge.
A second concern is thecolossal waste of money andpersonnel resources whenconsolidation of the schoolsis not considered as a viableoption for the Cassia dis-trict. Parochialism does notlend well to the good of theentire area. For example,
Oakley, Declo and Albioncould be consolidated withthe Burley schools. Thenmoney spent on buildingand transporting would notbe wasted on the separateconcerns of small schoolswho suffer from the BigFrog in the Little PuddleSyndrome.
Minidoka County sawthis as a viable option sev-eral years ago, and there isno reason why this optionshould not be chosen byCassia County.Individualism does not suf-fer in such a process.
I would ask the district toreassess its priorities, aswell as its timing, beforetrying to pass another bondin an area which is trulyconcerned about the welfareof its children, all of them.

CUERNAVACA, Mexico(AP) — A 14-year-old boyaccused of participating infour beheadings for a Mexicandrug cartel will be tried under astate juvenile law and willreceive only three years inprison if convicted, a judgesaid Sunday.
The judge in the state ofMorelos made the ruling aftera daylong hearing on whetherthe federal government shouldhandle the case because of thegravity of the allegationsagainst the boy, known as “ElPonchis.’’
Authorities say they arrest-ed him Thursday at an airportsouth of Mexico City with a19-year-old sister who isaccused of helping him dumpbodies. Mexican officialsallege the boy was working forthe Cartel of the South Pacific,a branch of the splinteredBeltran Leyva gang.
Many youths have beenused by drug cartels in theirbloody battles against thegovernment and each other,but the story of El Ponchis maybe the most shocking. AYouTube video that emerged amonth ago sparked talk of achild hit man — said by someto be as young as 12.
“I participated in four exe-cutions, but I did it druggedand under threat that if I did-n’t, they would kill me,’’ theboy said when he was handedover to the federal prosecutorFriday morning.
Authorities identified thecurly-haired suspect by hisfirst name only — Edgar.
He told reporters earlyFriday he was kidnapped at theage of 11 and forced to work forthe cartel.
Morelos Gov.Marco AdameCastillo said the boy was bornin San Diego, California, andMexican officials wereresearching whether he hasdual nationality.

MARINETTE, Mich. —Hundreds of people showedup Sunday for a memorial toa 15-year-old Wisconsin boywho held his social studiesclass hostage before shoot-ing himself last week, settingaside the terrifying standoffto honor him as a quiet,helpful leader who loved theoutdoors.
Sam Hengel’s family heldthe gathering in a schoolauditorium in Menominee,Mich., because they expect-ed so many supporters.Menominee lies just acrossthe Menominee River fromMarinette, Wis., whereHengel held 26 classmatesand his teacher at gunpointfor nearly six hours.
Barb Post of Marinette,Wis., said she didn’t knowHengel’s family but attendedanyway to show support.
“You care about the peo-ple and the family, and youunderstand it could happento anybody,” Post said.
Why Hengel took his classhostage remains a mystery.Other students and histeacher have said he waswell-liked and had manyfriends.
The standoff last Mondayat Marinette High Schoolbegan when Hengel returned
to his sixth-hour WesternCivilization class from abathroom break. He had twosemi-automatic pistols anda backpack jammed withmore than 200 rounds ofammunition and a pair ofknives.
Students and police saidhe immediately fired threeshots, blasting a hole in awall and tearing apart a filmprojector. Students talked to
him about everything fromhunting and fishing to hisfavorite movies in an attemptto keep him calm.
No one else in the schoolapparently recognized thesound of the shots as gunfire,and Hengel told the teacherto post a note on the doortelling seventh-period stu-dents to report to the library.As a result, no one realizedthe class was in danger untilabout a half-hour afterschool ended, when a mancame to the school officelooking for his daughter.
Principal Corry Lambiedetermined the last class thegirl attended was WesternCivilization and went to theroom to find the door locked.When Lambie unlocked thedoor, Hengel pointed his gunat him and told him to leave.Hengel allowed the girl to gowith Lambie.
The standoff dragged onfor four more hours, withteacher Valerie Burd actingas a go-between for Hengeland police.
A SWAT team stormed theroom after Hengel fired threeshots about 8 p.m., destroy-ing the classroom phone andhitting a computer. Hengelshot himself as officersreached him. He died thenext morning.
Flurries fell under an over-cast sky Sunday afternoon,
adding to a feeling of gloom.The line to greet the teen’sparents and two youngerbrothers stretched out of theauditorium and into thelobby, where mournersgazed at collages of photosdepicting Hengel as a smallchild, holding a string of fishand paddling along on acanoe trip with his family.
On a table was a messageboard. Hengel’s brother, Ben,had written “I will alwaysmiss you, brother” on it.Next to the board were pin-on buttons emblazoned withHengel’s face and take-homecards listing symptoms thatmight indicate suicidalthoughts.
Hengel’s family stood infront of the auditorium’sstage and hugged one well-wisher after another formore than two hours. Theyhad set up a tent, a canoe andpaddle and a mock campfireon the stage. They hung upHengel’s Boy Scout and taekwon do uniforms and hisreplica Green Bay Packersjersey with linebacker A.J.Hawk’s No. 50 on the frontnext to the stage.
A slide show showingHengel hiking in the woods,canoeing and riding horseswith his family played beforethe ceremony started. Manyof the photos featured himwith his father, Jon.
The Rev. NicholasJohannes told the crowd hewondered why Hengel did itas he held the boy’s hand inthe hospital, but said he’llnever know. Hengel was agood person and God wouldnot judge him on one act,Johannes promised.
People’s lives revolvearound work so much theydon’t listen or help eachother anymore, he said.
“This is not about Sam’ssin. This is about the world’ssin. Something has gone ter-ribly wrong,” he said. “Weneed to say ‘I love you’ andmean the words.”
Keith Schroeder, Hengel’sscoutmaster, said he hadlooked forward to seeinghow Hengel would turn outas a man, because he wassuch a compassionate youthand always had a smile on hisface. He said Hengel wouldbe any scout’s partner and
made the best French toast inthe troop.
“Sam was my best friend,”Schroeder said. “We don’tknow for sure what went onin Sam’s mind, but we knowhe chose a permanent solu-tion to a temporary problem.his emotional bucket wasempty. We didn’t see hisbucket was empty and Idon’t think Sam did, either.”
Jon Hengel told the crowdhis son was a quiet leaderwho was “always ready togo.”
“Someday when we meetagain you can tell me whathappened. You are one of thegreat ones,” he said. “Youand your brothers are theNorth Star in my life. . I loveyou, Sam.”
A bugler closed the cere-mony with “Taps.” Dozens ofHengel’s fellow Boy Scoutsfiled into the auditorium’saisles and saluted.

TEHRAN, Iran — Irandelivered a resolute messageSunday on the eve of talkswith six world powers:We’re mining our own ura-nium now, so forget aboutstopping our nuclear ambi-tions.
The Islamic Republic saidit has produced its first batchof locally mined uranium orefor enrichment, making itindependent of foreigncountries for a process theWest fears is geared towardproducing nuclear arms.
No matter the U.N. sanc-tions over the program, “ournuclear activities will pro-ceed and they will witnessgreater achievements in thefuture,’’ Iranian nuclear chiefAli Salehi told state-runPress TV.
Western officials down-played the announcement,saying it had been expectedand that Iran did not haveenough ore to maintain thelarge-scale enrichment pro-gram that Tehran says it isbuilding as a source of fuelfor an envisaged network ofnuclear reactors.
“Given that Iran’s ownsupply of uranium is notenough for a peacefulnuclear energy program, thiscalls into further questionIran’s intentions and raisesadditional concerns at a timewhen Iran needs to addressthe concerns of the interna-tional community,’’ saidMike Hammer, spokesmanof the U.S. National SecurityCouncil.
Sunday’s announcementmakes clear that Iran doesnot consider uraniumenrichment to be up for dis-cussion at the talks begin-ning Monday in Geneva.Tehran is determined toexpand the program insteadof scrapping it as the U.N.Security Council demands.
Expectations for the talkshad been low even before theannouncement, with Iransaying it is prepared to dis-cuss nuclear issues only inthe context of global disar-mament. Officials fromsome of the six powers havesaid they would be pleased ifnegotiations yielded nomore than agreement tomeet at a later date to explorecommon themes.
The ultimate aim of theU.S., Russia, China, Britain,France and Germany is tocommit Tehran to give upenrichment because of itspotential use in makingnuclear arms.
The talks in Geneva — thefirst in over a year — aremeant to lay the cornerstonefor establishing trust.Tehran says it does not wantatomic arms, but as it buildson its capacity to potentiallymake such weapons, neitherIsrael nor the U.S. have ruled
out military action if theIslamic Republic fails to heedU.N. Security Councildemands to freeze enrich-ment and other nuclear pro-grams.
The talks are expected totake two days. Saeed Jalili,Iran’s top nuclear negotiator,will meet with EU foreignaffairs chief CatherineAshton, with Ashton’s officesaying she will act “onbehalf’’ of the U.S., Russia,China, Britain, France andGermany. In fact, seniorofficials for those six powerswill attend and do much ofthe talking with Tehran.
Ahead of the talks,Western officials urgedTehran to address interna-tional concerns about itsnuclear activities.
Invoking possible militaryconfrontation over Iran’snuclear defiance, BritishDefense Secretary Liam Foxsaid Saturday that theGeneva talks need to make aserious start toward resolv-ing the issue.
“We want a negotiatedsolution, not a military one— but Iran needs to workwith us to achieve that out-come,’’ he said. “We will notlook away or back down.’’
U.S. Secretary of StateHillary Clinton said it was upto Iran to restore trust aboutits nuclear intentions, urgingit to come to Geneva pre-pared to “firmly, conclusive-ly reject the pursuit ofnuclear weapons.’’
German Foreign MinisterGuido Westerwelle said anuclear-armed Iran “wasunacceptable for us.’’
Sunday’s announcementby Salehi burdened the pre-talk atmosphere, adding totensions left by the assassi-nation last week of a promi-nent Iranian nuclear scien-tist and the wounding ofanother.
Salehi, head of the AtomicEnergy Organization of Iranand the country’s vice presi-dent, said Iran had for thefirst time delivered domesti-cally mined raw uranium to aprocessing facility — allow-ing it to bypass U.N. sanc-tions prohibiting import ofthe material.
Salehi said the uraniumore concentrate, known asyellowcake, was produced atthe Gachin uranium mine insouthern Iran and deliveredto the uranium conversion
facility in the central city ofIsfahan for reprocessing.
Yellowcake is processedinto uranium hexafluoride,which later can be turnedinto a gas used as feedstockfor enriching uranium.Uranium enriched to lowgrades is used for fuel innuclear reactors, but furtherenrichment makes it suit-able for atomic bombs.
Salehi said the deliverywas evidence that the mys-terious bombings targetingthe two Iranian nuclear sci-entists would not slow thecountry’s progress.
“Today, we witnessed theshipment of the first domes-tically produced yellowcake... from Gachin mine to theIsfahan nuclear facility,’’ saidSalehi, whose commentswere broadcast live on statetelevision.
Iran acquired a consider-able stock of yellowcakefrom South Africa in the1970s under the formerU.S.-backed shah’s originalnuclear program, as well asunspecified quantities ofyellowcake obtained fromChina long before the U.N.sanctions.

Study: Instructions,measuring devices for liquid medicationsare often inconsistent
By Melissa DavlinTimes-News writer
CChildren’s medicine dosing instructionsare confusing? No kidding, say MagicValley moms.
Researchers at the New York UniversitySchool of Medicine and Bellevue HospitalCenter found that the majority of over-the-counter liquid children’s medications containconfusing or contradictory instructions. That’sno surprise to some south-central Idaho par-ents, who are familiar with inconsistencies andconfusing wording on children’s medicationdosing instructions.
Twin Falls mom Mandi Thompson recentlybought a bottle of acetaminophen marketed forinfants. When she read the back of the bottle,she found instructions to consult a doctor forchildren younger than 2 years old.
Aren’t infants, by definition, younger than 2?Thompson was lucky — she had a height and
weight chart from her child’s pediatrician tooutline how much she should give. But otherparents might not be as prepared.
“You’re at home and it’s the middle of thenight and your child’s sick and you need toknow what to give them,” Thompson said.“Unless you have previously gotten a dosingchart from your doctor, you have to guess.”
Twin Falls mom Danielle Hardesty found asimilar discrepancy on a bottle of children’smedicine. The instructions gave doses in chartform for both height and weight. The problemwith that, Hardesty said, is children of the sameage can vary wildly in size.
“It’s like, which one do you follow?”Hardesty said. “Do you follow the weight? Doyou follow the age?”
Hardesty also hates how thick the liquidmedications are. That makes it hard to measureout the right dose, she said.
After hearing about the study, Ida McAlisterof Jerome said she might use different spoons tomeasure medicine for her granddaughters.
“You’ve got to be sure that your kids are notgetting an overdose,” McAlister said.
LLOS ANGELES — Many over-the-counter, liquid medica-tions meant for children contain dosing instructions andmeasuring cups or droppers that rarely match each other andcould confuse even the most careful parent or caretaker,according to a new study. This could easily lead to under- or
over-dosing, researchers said.The study, released online in the Journal of the American Medical
Association, examined popular liquid cough, cold, allergy and stomachmedications as well as painkillers and fever reducers, all for childrenyounger than 12 years old.
More than one quarter of the 200 products examined failed to includea measuring device, such as cup, dropper or oral syringe. Of those thatdid, nearly all contained at least one inconsistency between the printeddosing instructions and the device. One example: a label that called forone-teaspoon doses packaged with a measuring cup marked in milliliterunits.
“To see how common the mismatch was in this study was startling,’’said Dr. Darren A. DeWalt, an associate professor of internal medicineand pediatrics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, whowrote an editorial accompanying the study. “It’s not only confusinginformation, it’s almost not intelligible at times.’’
In the study, researchers led by a team at the New York UniversitySchool of Medicine and Bellevue Hospital Center reviewed the 200 top-selling pediatric, oral, liquid, over-the-counter medications.
Of the 148 products that contained a measuring device, almost99 percent contained at least one inconsistency between the directionsand the device. Twenty-four percent of the devices lacked the necessarymarkings to pour the correct dose. Slightly more than 81 percent hadsuperfluous markings, such as ones for doses that were beyond whatwould be prescribed.
Units of measurement varied from product to product: 72 percentused milliliters, 78 percent used teaspoons, 19 percent used tablespoonsand 6 percent used nonstandard units of measurement such as drams orcubic centimeters. There were nonstandard abbreviations (‘’tsps’’instead of “tsp’’ for teaspoon) and undefined abbreviations. Five prod-ucts did not place a zero before decimal points — writing .5 instead of0.5 — a practice that can cause a 10-fold overdose, the authors said.
“We found problems with inconsistency across all product types andmanufacturers,’’ said Dr. H. Shonna Yin, co-author of the study and anassistant professor of pediatrics at New York University School ofMedicine. “This is a pervasive problem. Instructions should be patient-centered and easy to understand. They should help parents give medica-tions.’’
The study did not address product quality; strict Food and DrugAdministration rules govern the safety and effectiveness of medicationsas well as how the drugs are manufactured, packaged and shipped, andtheir shelf life.
“There is a tremendous amount of science that is brought to bearwhen it comes to the chemistry of the product,’’ said Laura Bix, an asso-ciate professor at Michigan State University who studies the interactionbetween people and product packages. “Sadly, we don’t bring that levelof science to understanding the interaction between the person and thepackage.’’
Regulations also dictate the information required on product labels,said Bix, who was not involved in the study. However, little attention hasbeen paid to how consumers use the products, she said.
Although dosing errors with these products are rarely harmful,under-dosing can mean a child is not getting relief from pain or othersymptoms, DeWalt said. And dangers do exist: Several days of over-dosing with products that contain acetaminophen, for example, canresult in serious liver damage.
The study took place before a November 2009 FDA release of volun-tary guidelines for manufacturers aimed at reducing dosing errors.These recommendations address many of the problems identified in thestudy. But, said Yin: “It’s unlikely voluntary guidance will be able tosolve the problem ... data shows how big this problem is.’’
It would seem a simple thing to give a child a medication, but not inthe case of an exhausted mother trying to read the product directionswhile the toddler is wailing from his ear infection and other childrendemand equal attention, Bix said.
“There are all kinds of things that make dosing in a home environ-ment difficult,’’ Bix said. “Parents need to take a breath, read the labeland make sure you understand it.’’

I have tried to be a goodmother to my two children.But if anyone had suggestedto me, in the long-ago over-whelming days when theywere tiny, that I make theirbaby food, I would have giventhat person the evil eye. Orburst into tears.
Now, having read “BabyLove,” the Valentine tohomemade baby food writ-ten by D.C. residents NorahO’Donnell, MSNBC’s chiefWashington correspondent,and her husband, chef andrestaurateur Geoff Tracy, Ican plainly see that makingbaby’s food at home isn’t thattaxing. But it is, even themost dedicated parent has toadmit, another little thing tofutz with.
O’Donnell and Tracy, ofthe Chef Geoff restaurants,have fed their threesome(3-year-old twins Grace andHenry and 2-year-old sisterRiley) homemade food sinceeach youngster graduatedfrom breast milk and ricecereal. They’ve mastered theprocess and developedrecipes that are easy to throwtogether, store and persuadea baby or toddler to eat.
Why bother? The bookmakes the case that home-made baby food is better thancommercial because you cancontrol what’s in it. Bothhomemade and store-bought food contain vita-mins and minerals your babyneeds. But the book notesthat those little jars of food onthe grocery shelf also canhave add-ins such as modi-fied cornstarch, thoughmajor brands such as Gerberand Beech-Nut don’t addstarch (or salt or sugar) totheir purees.
Most of all, O’Donnell andTracy say, homemade babyfood simply tastes better andcan foster a lifelong love ofhealthful food.
There’s no need to feelguilty if going homemade isjust not for you, however.Amy Jamieson-Petonic, aregistered dietitian, spokes-woman for the AmericanDietetic Association anddirector of coaching atCleveland Clinic, told me via
e-mail that “the decisionreally needs to be made on acase-by-case basis.”
“It does take a little moretime and effort to make yourown food,” she wrote. “Also... you need to be very carefulto make sure that equipmentis clean and that you followproper food safety proce-dures to prevent bacterialcontamination.”
“Baby Love” features deli-cacies as straightforward asGet Your Greens, a blend ofspinach, broccoli, cauli-flower, water and milk, forchildren 8 months and older;and as exotic as Ginger Beef,apuree of 12 ingredients thatrequires some cooking, forkids 10 months and older andtheir parents. For kids 12months and older, there arebaked goods such as Norah’sBrain-Booster ZucchiniMuffins. Foods for theyoungest babies (6 months)are necessarily simple:Perfectly Basic Avocado, forinstance, involves mashinghalf a ripe avocado with theback of a fork for 90 seconds,then mixing in a tablespoonof orange juice. Even I couldhave done that!
One time-saving strategysuggested in the book isorganizing all the ingredientsand equipment before youstart to cook, known as miseen place. Tracy writes thatdoing this allowed him tomake food for two weeks injust an hour. Most recipes forthe youngest kids are pureesmeant to be frozen in an ice-cube tray,then stored in plas-
tic baggies in the freezer.Jatinder Bhatia, who chairs
the American Academy ofPediatrics’ Committee onNutrition, notes that feedingbabies a version of the fami-ly’s meal is a time-honoredway to influence the child’sfuture tastes in food. “It’scommon sense,” he says.“That’s how ethnic babieslearn to eat ethnic food.”
“At this point, your baby isstill a captive,” Bhatia says.It’s an ideal time to “presentwhat the family’s eating” —assuming, that is, that the
family is eating healthfully.Had I realized how easy
making baby food is,and howgood it is for kids, I’m sure Iwould have gone that routefor my own babies.Truth is,itnever occurred to me, and Idon’t recall anyone suggest-ing it. (Perhaps they fearedthat evil eye of mine.) Maybe“Baby Love” will inspire newparents everywhere to startmashing,pureeing and freez-ing food for their wee ones.As for me, I hope someday I’llget to mash avocado for agrandkid.

If you snore, sleep aninordinate amount of timeduring the day, or experi-ence any number of seem-ingly unrelated physical andemotional signs, you mayneed more than a warmglass of milk at bedtime andan earplugs-wearing bed-mate. You may have a sleepdisorder such as sleepapnea, in which you stopbreathing throughoutsleep.
“Sleep apnea is implicat-ed in cardiovascular dis-eases, vascular diseases,endocrinological diseaseslike diabetes,’’ says Dr. WonLee, medical director of theSleep and BreathingDisorder Center at UTSouthwestern MedicalCenter at Dallas.
“The best way to think ofit is this: When patientshave sleep apnea, there’s anarrowing of airways,which causes no airflowand therefore no oxygen isdelivered to the lungs. Wesee a significant drop inoxygen levels. Sometimesthe levels may be in the95 percent range and duringan obstructive event, dropto 75. It causes the patientsto wake up to open their air-ways. I have some who stopbreathing 100 times perhour. I’m flabbergasted,blown away.’’
Apnea and other sleepdisorders can be diagnosedin a sleep lab, wherepatients spend one to twonights being observed.Treatment is often nightlyuse of a machine called theCPAP (continuous positiveairway pressure).
“The beauty of my joband profession is when youput patients on CPAP, itmarkedly improves theiroxygen level,’’ he says. “It’sliterally night and daybetween before and after ...they feel more refreshedand clearly this has bene-fits, time after time.Treating improves theirneuro-cognitive function.It helps support the impor-tance of the quality of sleepoverall, plus I’m surethey’re more pleasant to bearound.’’
The machine can betricky to get used to wear-ing. But Lee encouragespatients to keep trying, cit-ing a study of 1,000 Spanishmen published in 2005.
“Those with severe apneahad double the risk ofdeath, of major cardiovas-cular events,’’ he says.“Most encouraging werethose who wore the CPAPconsistently for four hours,70 percent of the time andwere monitored twice ayear. They ended up havingtheir cardiovascular eventsback to what’s normal forthe general population.’’
He recommends makingcertain the sleep center youchoose is accredited bythe American Academyof Sleep Medicine (aasm-net.org.)
“This ensures theprovider is board-certifiedand has proper training insleep medicine, and thatthe facility meets all strin-gent requirements includ-ing testing procedures,diagnostic procedures, andthat it maintains the qualityof sleep physicians andtechnologists working withpatients at night.’’

Why bother making your own baby food?
By Julie DeardorffChicago Tribune
CHICAGO — As a personliving with Type 1 dia-betes, 34-year-old AngieHashemi-Rad must prickher fingers and give herselfinsulin every day to stayalive. But nothing irritatesher more than having peo-ple mistakenly assume shehas Type 2 diabetes — andthen suggest she “cure her-self’’ by eating less sugarand exercising more.
“I’m sorry, but I hateType 2. I call it the wussversion,’’ she wrote onDiabetesdaily.com inresponse to an online articleheadlined: “Which is worse:Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes?’’“NO TYPE 2 COULD EVERDO WHAT I HAVE DONEFOR THE PAST 28 YEARS,’’she wrote. “IT IS NOT THESAME. NOT EVEN CLOSE.HOW DARE YOU.’’
As rates of Type 2 dia-betes soar, tempers are flar-ing in the diabetes blogos-phere, where many peoplewith Type 1 diabetes arelobbying for a new, distinctname for their condition inhopes of clearing up mis-conceptions and securingmore resources to puttoward a cure.
With Type 2 diabetes —formerly known as “adult-onset’’ — people have trou-ble putting insulin to use inthe body to metabolizedietary sugars. Obesity is amajor risk factor, and diet,exercise and medication canhelp prevent the conditionin people at risk or treat thedisease once it develops.
Type 1, by contrast, usedto be called “juvenile dia-betes’’ because it is oftenpresent from childhood.People with the conditionproduce no insulin at all andwill die unless they regular-ly dose themselves with thehormone.
Many people don’tunderstand those differ-ences, and because Type 2diabetes is far more com-mon it receives the majorityof the attention. Type 1’soften hear “You don’t looklike a diabetic!’’ or areassumed to have causedtheir illness by overeating.
“Typically, people haveno idea what diabetes is orhow it works,’’ said
Chicago’s Laura Fitzgerald,21, who was diagnosed atage 6. “They assume I did itto myself.’’
Diabetes educator RivaGreenberg has repeatedlyadvocated for a namechange, hoping that greaterrecognition will lead tomore stem cell research.
“When the two types arelumped together, it’s hardfor organizations commit-ted to finding a cure toType 1 to really get funded,’’said Greenberg, author of“50 Diabetes Myths ThatCan Ruin Your Life.’’ “Ifpolicy makers don’t under-stand the differencebetween the two — they arethinking people need tomove more and eat less —it’s going to be hard to helpcure Type 1.’’
Some people with Type 2diabetes say they are beingunfairly stigmatized for
developing a disease thathas a strong genetic com-ponent. Those who exerciseregularly are often shockedto be diagnosed, becausethey assume only over-weight people are at risk. Atthe same time, controllingdiabetes with lifestylechanges and medicationisn’t as easy one mightthink.
Susan Amati of Chicago,who has Type 2 diabetes,said people shouldn’t bequick to judge.
“Bad behavior may con-tribute to the cause,’’ shesaid, “but many people maynot behave any differentlythan the average person, butget diabetes. I ate and dietedvery carefully, but until I gotthe proper medicines, myblood sugar control wasn’tgood.’’
However, gaps in com-munication, lifestyle and
differences in the treatmentplans for the two types canmake it difficult for the twosides to understand eachother.
“Type 2 diabetics are‘blamed’ while Type 1 dia-betics are ‘ignored’ andreally it isn’t fair to anyone,’’said diabetes bloggerAllison Blass, who is basedin New York City and hasType 1.
While all people with dia-betes are characterized byelevated blood sugar, Type 1and Type 2 are essentiallytwo distinct diseases.
Type 1, which is consid-ered more devastating, is anautoimmune disorder; thebody has attacked itself andpermanently destroyed thecells in the pancreas thatmake insulin. Insulin isneeded to transport sugarinto the cells where it can bemetabolized and used for
energy. If too much sugar(or glucose) stays in theblood, it can lead to seriousdamage to the tissues, eyes,nerves, heart, gums andteeth.
People with this condi-tion need insulin to live.They receive it either byinjecting themselves with asyringe or receiving infu-sions through a pumpattached to their body.
Type 2’s, on the otherhand, do produce someinsulin. The problem is theinsulin can’t do its job.When the body resistsinsulin, sugar builds up inthe blood, causing the samenegative effects as Type 1.The condition often goesundiagnosed for years — it’sestimated that a third of thecases of high blood sugar areuntreated in the U.S. —which means Type 2’s canhave more complications,including high blood pres-sure, high cholesterol, heartdisease and stroke.
It’s possible for Type 2’sto reduce their insulinresistance, usually thoughlifestyle changes such asdiet and exercise and med-ication. In some cases, theycan reverse the onset of dia-betes altogether, if it’scaught early.
Those genetically predis-posed to Type 2 may even beable to stave it off. “There’sa lock and a key,’’ said obesi-ty specialist David Edelson,an assistant clinical profes-sor of medicine at AlbertEinstein College ofMedicine. “The key is a badlifestyle that leads to weightgain around the gut,’’ saidEdelson.

Have yourself a sweaty little ChristmasBy Vicky HallettThe Washington Post
Jane Fonda was certainher leotard days werebehind her. But then the 72-year-old realized that eventhough she was aging,workout DVDs weren’t, soshe dragged herself out ofretirement.
“No one else wants toadmit that they’re old,’’ saysFonda, who’s back in busi-ness with her just released“Prime Time’’ series aimedat seniors. The first twotitles, “Fit & Strong’’ and“Walk Out,’’ are availablenow, with two more to comein the spring.
Instead of talking aboutfitting into skinny jeans,Fonda’s emphasis is onmaintaining your balanceand skills such as getting upfrom a chair without usingyour hands. “It’s aboutbeing the healthiest, not themost ripped,’’ Fonda says.And although her body isstill smoking, Fonda — who
recently was deemed can-cer-free after having breastcancer — is quick to notethat she has a replaced hip,a replaced knee and osteo-porosis. So when develop-ing the routines, she’s beenextra careful about safetyfor seniors.
If that sounds a tad toogentle, Andrea Metcalf’s“Keeping Fit’’ three-discseries is aimed at folks intheir 40s, 50s and 60s whoare looking for an efficient,effective but not exhaustingway to exercise. Most DVDsthese days offer some easiermodifications, but Metcalf,47, makes sure to have themthroughout her program.“We really hit every optionbecause we want people tobe able to progress,’’ shesays.
So this year, you can wrapup the gift of fitness for justabout anyone on your list.Here are a few discs worthconsidering, whetheryou’re looking for a senior-friendly sweat, a killer-abs
solution or a chance to cut arug.
And while you’re shop-ping, Fonda suggests youpick up Rod Stewart’s newalbum, “Fly Me to theMoon,’’ which she’s beendancing to at home with herboyfriend for 15 to 20 min-utes each night. “It’s thebest workout,’’ she says. “Itswings.’’
The original fitness-videoqueen manages to hit all themajor muscle groups andsqueeze in a stretch in both25-minute workouts, whichdouble as motivational lec-tures for seniors who need apush to get moving. There’sa bonus balance segment, inwhich Fonda reveals herwobbly weakness. Samplemove: While holding on tothe back of a chair to steadyyourself, alternate kickingyour legs out to the side. $15.
Seasoned instructorMetcalf breaks down yourneeds into “Strength,’’“Cardio’’ and “Pilates.’’ Eachof the three discs has 10 five-minute segments, whichmakes it simple to adjust thelength and intensity of yourworkout. Sample move:While pulsing in a plie,extend one hand that’s hold-ing a weight to the side andperform small arm circles.For more of a challenge, raisea heel. $35.
Core curriculum““JJaacckkiiee WWaarrnneerr::
CCrruunncchh--FFrreeee XXttrreemmee AAbbss’’’’Getting a taut torso takes
time, but not that much of itif you’re sticking with celebtrainer Warner, who leadsthe DVD’s duo of 16-minuteroutines. One is performedstanding; the other one is onthe floor. Sample move:Swimmers. Lie on your backand lift your knees so your
calves are parallel to theground. With weights inyour hands, raise yourshoulder blades, extend onearm behind you and bringthe other to your waist.Switch arms repeatedly. $15.
I’m not normally para-noid, but I’m pretty sureMichaels is trying to kill meand anyone else who darespop in her DVD. In each 35-minute workout (Level 1 andLevel 2), you have to gothrough the routine once,then do it again double time.Sample move: Moguls. Inplank position, keep yourlegs together while you jumptoward one hand, back to themiddle and then the otherside. $15.
guy’s son? Sign me up.Blanks is easy to follow as hewiggles and stomps throughdisco, African and Latin.And his weight-free toningbursts are surprisingly effec-tive. Sample move: African-cans. Jump while kicking oneleg out in front of yourepeatedly. Add in the armsby having your hands tapyour shoulders then reachtoward the kicking foot. $15.
“Dancing With the Stars’’champ Julianne Hough isknown for her ballroom skills,but this workout with threeroutines is more music videothan mambo. Even if youstudy her dance lesson fea-turette, this stuff is tough.Sample move: Standing up,put your hands behind yourhead like you’re doing sit-ups. Kick up one knee whilebringing your elbows togeth-er,then kick up the other kneewhile dropping your hands toyour sides and snapping. $15.

How totweak yourtaste budsBy Alison JohnsonDaily Press (Newport News, Va.)
It really is possible todevelop a taste for healthyfoods you’ve avoided foryears, nutritionists say:
GGoo ssllooww.. Make one smallchange at a time over a peri-od of weeks. As your tastebuds adapt, gradually add inmore vegetables, fruit andseafood.
SSttaayy aawwaayy ffrroomm ppllaaiinn..Don’t start off with a plateof raw broccoli. Instead, mixpureed or diced vegetablesinto foods you already like,such as macaroni andcheese, meatloaf, chili, sea-soned noodles, sauces,soups or baked goods.
UUssee ffllaavvoorriinngg.. Vegetablescan taste much better withsome herbs and spices,Cajun seasoning andhealthy dips such as hum-mus — or simply grilled witha little salt, pepper and gar-lic. Go for a known favorite;if you like Asian cuisine, forexample, cook with a teriya-ki glaze.
EExxppeerriimmeenntt wwiitthh ccooookkiinnggttiimmee ...... You may rememberyour childhood vegetablesas a mushy heap. Texturecan matter as much as taste:If the same food is firmer orcut into smaller pieces, itmay be much more appeal-ing.
...... aanndd ffrreesshh,, ffrroozzeenn oorrccaannnneedd.. Frozen or cannedvegetables can be just ashealthy as fresh but tastebetter to you. Just watch thesalt and sugar content.
BBee aaddvveennttuurroouuss.. Everytime you go to the grocerystore, buy one fruit or veg-etable you’ve never triedbefore. You’re likely tostumble on a new favorite.
GGiivvee ffiisshh aa cchhaannccee..Different types of fish don’ttaste the same; some aremuch less “fishy’’ than oth-ers. Milder forms includetilapia, cod and flounder.Ask your store’s seafooddepartment for recommen-dations.
BBee ppaattiieenntt.. Children oftenwon’t accept a new fooduntil they’ve tried it eight ornine times, and the samemay be true of grown-ups.
Civil war: Diabetes vs. diabetesWhat not to saySix things it’s better not tosay to a person with Type 1diabetes:““CCaann you eat that?’’““DDoo you have BADdiabetes?’’““IIff you’d just exercise ...’’ or“If you’d just eat better ...’’(Type I diabetes is anautoimmune disorder, unre-lated to diet and exercise.)““YYoouu don’t look like adiabetic!’’““MMyy grandfather had thatand he lost his leg.’’““II could never do that.’’(Inject insulin.)Source: Tribune reporting,diabetesmine.com producerAmy Tenderich

PUBLIC NOTICEIDAHO HOUSING AND FINANCE ASSOCIATION
ADDITIONAL MORTGAGE CREDIT CERTIFICATE PROGRAMThe Idaho Housing and Finance Association (“IHFA”) is
implementing a new installment of its Mortgage Credit CertificateProgram under Section 25 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code(the “Code”). A Mortgage Credit Certificate ("MCC") reduces theamount of Federal income tax a qualified home buyer pays byproviding a tax credit. Consequently, the home buyer has moredisposable income to make loan payments. After all othercredits and deductions are taken into account, the value of theMCC is applied directly to the home buyer's remaining Federaltax liability. The amount of the credit may not exceed ataxpayer's total tax liability for a specific year, however, anyexcess credit may be carried forward to a subsequent tax yearfor up to three years.
Additional issuance of MCCs is expected to begin in mid March,2011 for mortgage loans made at that time. MCCs will be madeavailable to eligible home buyers on a first-come, first-servedbasis and may be used to purchase newly constructed housing,existing housing, or manufactured housing on owner occupiedlots. An MCC cannot be issued to a home buyer who isrefinancing an existing mortgage.
The amount of the credit under the proposed program will betwenty percent (20%) of the yearly interest paid on a qualifiedmortgage with an annual credit maximum of $2,000 for theeligible borrower. At least 20% of the amount issued is reservedfor MCC's for mortgage loans on single family residenceslocated in targeted counties. A list of targeted counties isavailable at IdaMortgage.com.
Present IHFA and Federal regulations require borrowers to meetthe certain requirements to be eligible for an MCC including thefollowing, unless IHFA is advised that less restrictive limits canlegally be authorized:
1. The borrower must be a first-time home owner, except in the 27targeted counties. A first-time home owner is defined as ahousehold that has not owned a principal residence for a periodof three (3) years prior to the date of executing the MCC-assisted mortgage loan.
2. A borrower with a family of three or more persons must havean annual gross income not exceeding 115% of the applicablearea median family income, while a borrower with a family ofone or two persons must have an annual gross income notexceeding 100% of the applicable area median family income,except that higher family income limits may be adopted fortargeted counties. A list of the current income limits is availableat IdaMortgage.com.
3. The borrower must purchase a single family residence, inIdaho, and occupy the housing unit as a principal residence.
4. The borrower must purchase a single family residence with anacquisition cost which does not exceed 90% of the average areapurchase price applicable to such residence, except that theacquisition cost may be 110% of the average area purchaseprice in targeted counties. A list of these purchase price limitscan be found at IdaMortgage.com.
5. The borrower must acquire a new mortgage or home loan andmeet the credit and underwriting criteria established by theparticipating lender who provides the mortgage loan.Refinancing of an existing mortgage or land contract is notpermissible.
These eligibility requirements and the then current numeric valueswill be printed and distributed to the public in a Programbrochure on Program implementation and will be availableonline at IdaMortgage.com. The eligibility requirements will notexceed, but may be lower than, the most recently publishedfigures for applicable area median family income and averagearea purchase price which have been published by theDepartment of Housing and Urban Development and theDepartment of Treasury.
MCCs may be used in conjunction with any privately insured oruninsured fixed rate or adjustable rate loan and such loans areexpected to be purchased by IHFA from funds which are notderived from mortgage revenue bonds under Section 143 of theCode. A home buyer may make application for an MCC, througha participating lender or a participating mortgage broker, at thetime of loan application. A list of such lenders and mortgagebrokers will be available online at IdaMortgage.com. MCCscannot be used with any mortgage loans supported by mortgagerevenue bonds under Section 143 of the Code.
Banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage companies, andother approved financing institutions are invited to participate aslenders. Any lender who wishes to participate will be required tosign a Lender Agreement, which outlines the lender's reviewand reporting responsibilities. IHFA's list of participating lendersis available at IdaMortgage.com.
Each borrower may be charged up to $500 as a MCC processingfee.

DEAR ABBY: My son-in-law is taking his 8-year-oldson on a hunting trip. Istrongly disapprove, butcannot say anything. I amshocked that my daughter isallowing it.
As a small child, I had alittle playmate who blew hisfingers off with a huntinggun. I fail to see any reason achild this young needs tolearn how to kill animals —and, of course, I am terrifiedhe will get hurt.
My grandson is worriedabout going,and I am deeplyupset. What do you thinkabout a child this age goinghunting? He is a sweet,intelligent child, and I am a
VERY DISTURBEDGRANDMA IN FLORIDADEAR DISTURBED
GRANDMA: Your son-in-law may hope the huntingtrip will be a bonding expe-rience with the boy.However, if the child is wor-ried about going into thewoods and killing some-thing, the experience maynot bring the desired result.While I am not a fan ofkilling for sport, if yourdaughter does not object,there is nothing you or I cando to prevent it. (If theywere hunting for food, Imight feel differently.)
EAR ABBY: I justreceived a holiday card fromsome relatives. Includedwith it was a printed one-page newsletter describingtheir past year’s activities. Ihave received similar essaysfrom them in previousyears.
Why do these writingsalways inflate the deeds ofthe writer, almost to thepoint of laughability? It’s asif they’re saying, “Afterdashing back from our pri-vate audiences with QueenElizabeth and the pope, wejetted off to Rio to help ourdear friends, the Buffetts,launch their new yacht,which is 6 inches longerthan the QEII. And our chil-dren are doing well. Theoldest is a CEO and theyounger was just awardedthe Nobel Prize in chem-istry.“
To me, the holidays are atime for reflection andreaching out to those lessfortunate. The last thing weneed to see is an exaggerated(or fictional) account of anego-trip from somebodywho just doesn’t get themeaning of the holidays.
ORRDINARY GALIN ROCHESTER
DEAR ORDINARY GAL:Many individuals — but notall — feel as you do aboutholiday newsletters. It mayhelp you to remember thatthey are not being written toyou personally. The com-munication you received is aform of self-promotion. Sowith that in mind, no lawsays you have to read them.Because you find themupsetting, toss them as youwould any other unwantedpiece of advertising.
EAR ABBY: My hus-band has a tendency to“almost” complete things,but seldom actually does.The discards make it as faras the counter above thetrash container where theybelong. The hose carriergets put back two feet fromwhere it’s supposed to go.He’ll leave his jacket on thechair right next to the coatcloset. Get the picture?
My husband is a great guyand he does a lot around thehouse. It’s just that these“almosts” are so consistentthat I’m curious aboutwhether they’re sympto-matic of a kind of disorder.
MAINE OBSERVERDEAR OBSERVER: With
the understanding that I amnot licensed in any state ofthe Union to make a defini-tive diagnosis,it appears thatyour husband is either easilydistracted or a wee bit ...lazy.
