COOS BAY — A new informationresource officially has opened toresidents in Coos, Curry and Jack-

son counties. It’s a resource thatorganizers see as an inevitable win-win-win situation, benefiting thegeneral public, partnering agenciesand the clients they serve.

A month and a half after theirsoft” launch of the free 211 infor-mation system, and two weeksafter going “live” on the SouthCoast, things seem to be progress-ing as expected. Data Hub Manag-

er Ashley Horath says the primarygoal now is to continue to build anever-expanding data base.

Forty-five agencies from CoosCounty participate in the system,about 24 in Curry County, andHorath says more are coming.

Early joiners include all of thelocal food pantries, DHS, CoosCounty Mental Health and BayArea Hospital, but now they would

like to see some of the smalleragencies joining, like the varioussenior centers.

Needed by needyHorath says they can be espe-

cially beneficial in this currenteconomy. “Their fixed income isn’tstretching as far as it used to; actu-ally, nobody’s is stretching as far asit used to.”

A primary focus, said Horath, isto try and get information to thepeople who may never have usedsocial services.

“I think it’s a really good startingpoint for people who need help,and it may help with things thatthey don’t even know they needhelp with yet.”

Andrew Wade Davenport, 45, listens asCircuit Court Judge Michael Gillespie readsoff the charge against him Monday after-noon in Coquille. Davenport is charged in theAug. 25 death of Randall Harless of Coos Bayafter being indicted by a Grand Jury Friday.

BY TYLER RICHARDSONThe World

A North Bend man accused ofkilling 55-year-old Randall Harlesslast month was arraigned Monday inCoos County Circuit Court.

Andrew Wade Davenport, 45,appeared in front of Judge MichaelGillespie, who set his bail at $2 mil-lion.

Davenport was represented by apublic defender from Medford whotalked over a speakerphone during thebrief hearing.

Coos County District AttorneyPaul Frasier said the Southwest Ore-gon Public Defender’s office could nottake the case due to a conflict of inter-est it has with Harless. Frasier said theoffice represented Harless in anothercase.

A not guilty plea was entered by thecourt on Davenport’s behalf.

Parole violationFrasier said Davenport was arrested

last Tuesday on a parole violation. Aninvestigation from the Coos Baypolice department, plus what Frasiercalled a “break in the case,” led to themurder charge.

From left to right, theMarshfield Times’ neweditor-in-chief, WesleyBauer, helps this year’smanaging editor,Spencer Hurbis, andphotographer, TyBunnell, set up thenewspaper’s computers for theupcoming year.

By Jessie Higgins,The World

BY JESSIE HIGGINSThe World

COOS BAY — The MarshfieldTimes is collecting more awardsto hang on its classroom walls.The paper is nominated for theprestigious Pacemaker award forthe second consecutive year. TheNational Scholastic Press Associ-ation gave the paper All-Ameri-can status.

The students hope to bringhome the Pacemaker this year.

“That would be incredible forour school,” said this year’s edi-tor-in-chief, Wesley Bauer.

Both the Pacemaker nomina-tion and All-American rating arebestowed by the NSPA. This andlast year, Marshfield was named aPacemaker finalist. The award isjudged based on coverage andcontent, quality of writing andreporting, leadership on theopinion page, evidence of in-depth reporting, design, photog-raphy, art, and graphics.

The first-place Pacemakerwinner will be announced at aconvention in mid-November.

A stream of creative, design-

focused editors has given thenewspaper a reputation for beau-tiful layouts. But Bauer said thepaper’s content also is strong.

“The students take issues thatare in the national news andrelate them to Marshfield,”Hampton said.

Youthful group steps upLast year, for example, the

paper explored the choking game,in which young people chokethemselves almost until they passout in order to feel high.

This year’s Pacemaker award isbased on work the newspaperaccomplished last year, and thestudents who produce TheMarshfield Times already arelooking ahead, said CatherineHampton, the paper’s adviser.

The newspaper staff this yearis young, with only five seniors,Hampton said. Last year, the staffcomprised 12 seniors who allstarted at the newspaper asunderclassmen.

“We have 15 brand-new staffmembers,” Hampton said. “It’s ayoung group.”

In the first few weeks of

school, the newspaper’s seniorstaff teaches incoming studentsthe basics for interviewing, writ-ing, photography, and graphicdesign.

Summer boot campMany in this year’s staff

attended a summer boot camp,during which they wrote sum-mer-themed articles and tookphotos that were posted to thepublication’s new website.

“I was pleasantly surprised athow enthusiastic the new stu-dents were,” Hampton said.“They jumped right in, showingthe skills they had.

“They probably feel somepressure. They don’t want to bethe one class that doesn’t win thePacemaker.”

Bauer said he’s planning a fewimprovements and a lot of hold-ing steady. The staff will reducethe number of typefaces it uses indesigning the paper, and will tryto follow up previously publishedstories.

stories, visithttp://themarshfieldtimes.com.

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romneyspeaks to reporters about the secretly taped video from one of his campaign fundrais-ing events in Costa Mesa, Calif., Monday.

BY KASIE HUNT ANDSTEVE PEOPLES

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Alreadyscrambling to steady a strugglingcampaign, Republican Mitt Romneyconfronted a new headache Mondayafter a video surfaced showing himtelling wealthy donors that almosthalf of all Americans “believe theyare victims” entitled to extensivegovernment support. He added thatas a candidate for the White House,

“my job is not to worry about thosepeople.”

At a hastily called news confer-ence late in the day, Romney offeredno apologies for his remarks andwhen he was asked if he was con-cerned he had offended anyone, heconceded the comments weren’t“elegantly stated” and they werespoken “off the cuff.”

President Barack Obama’s cam-paign quickly seized on the video,obtained by the magazine MotherJones and made public on a day thatRomney’s campaign said it needed a

change in campaign strategy to gainmomentum in the presidential race.Romney aides were already workingbehind the scenes to calm dissensionin the GOP ranks and reassure nerv-ous donors and consultants aboutthe state of a race some Republicansworry may be getting away fromtheir nominee.

“There are 47 percent of the peo-ple who will vote for the president nomatter what,” Romney is shown say-ing in a video posted online by the

Mitt Romney: 47 percent ofpeople ‘believe they are victims’

AAnnsswweerr:: While the Charleston Sanitary District’sbilling letterhead lists both a physical address and apost office box, the U.S. Postal Service officially rec-ognizes only the P.O. box.

“There has never been street delivery establishedthere,” says USPS spokesperson Peter Hass.

The automated sorting machines used by thepostal service scan addresses from the city and ZIPcode up, and their database wouldn’t recognize thataddress as a deliverable location in Charleston, saidHass.

While payments mailed locally might reach thecorrect destination without a post office box num-ber, those sent from out of state are likely to bereturned.

“The street address is what would have caused itto be pushed out of the system,” Hass said.

Have a question about current happenings inCoos County? I Want to Know will try to answer it.Contact reporter Thomas Moriarty attmoriarty@theworldlink.com with the lettersIWTK in the subject line.

Bill payment boxed outQuestion: I own property in the area which receives utility service from the Charleston Sanitary District.While living out of state, my mailed payment was returned due to being insufficiently addressed, and I wasstuck with overdue billing charges.

I want to know why my letter was returned despite being addressed to the location on the billing letter-head. (Note: The reader provided a photocopy of the returned envelope addressed to the san-itary district at 63365 Boat Basin Road, Charleston. The district’s billing letterhead lists boththat address and P.O. Box 5522.)

Occupy changedthe conversation

Sept. 17 was the anniversary ofOccupy Wall Street. To those whostill wonder what it is all about, Iurge you to do some research on theInternet and find the details thathave been determined by consen-sus. They posted all the things theywanted and found objectionable.

The largest issue is that corpo-rations have long controlled thepolitical landscape. They want tosee an amendment to theConstitution that will get moneyout of politics. Money is notspeech, and corporations are notpeople, and that is just part ofwhat the amendment will state.

Occupy groups all over thecountry are working on this goal.Should you mistakenly think thework is in vain, the following sta-tistics tell the progress:

California, Hawaii, Maryland,Massachusetts, New Mexico,Rhode Island and Vermont havecalled for action on this front. Inour Congress, 96 representativesand 29 senators have done thesame.

There are over 400 cities andtowns with resolutions for anamendment with many more inprogress. On the home front, wehave Occupy South Coast andOccupy Lakeside.

Occupy Wall Street changedthe conversation in this country toinclude those who work for a livingand those who are struggling tofind a job or just get by. I celebratewhat they started just one year agoand the progress they have made.We are the 99 percent, and we willkeep pushing back till everyonecounts equally under the law andin the voting booth. That’s the realAmerican dream, and we have totake it back.

Protect us fromcoal dust hazards

Those pushing the idea of a coalexport terminal should educatethemselves about the dangers ofcoal, the most toxic of fossil fuels.

The following is from StoppingToxic Coal in its Tracks, by Dr.Andy Harris in The Folded Crane,published by Oregon Physiciansfor Social Responsibility:

n Coal dust is a major healthproblem for people with allergies,asthma, chronic bronchitis andemphysema.

n Coal dust contains toxic met-

als like mercury, arsenic and lead.n An uncovered coal car is esti-

mated to lose one pound of coaldust for each mile traveled.

n The coal burned in Asiacomes back to us in the form ofemissions of mercury, sulfur diox-ide, nitrogen oxides, ozone and 50other toxic compounds. These ridethe winds and settle on our landand wash off into rivers, lakes andreservoirs, contaminating the fishand the water.

Is it any wonder that PGE,which operates the only coal-burning power plant in Oregon,doesn't want a coal export termi-nal next to their operations at St.Helens? They are concerned “thecoal dust could be a significantproblem” for their equipment.

Write Gov. Kitzhaber and urgehim to require a full Health ImpactAssessment Statement on thetransport of coal through our com-munities. Write the Port of CoosBay, asking what they will requireat the Coos Bay terminal site toprotect citizens from the hazardsof coal dust.

Dr. V. Alton DohnerBandon

Cats create havocwhen introduced

Your article concerning thecapture and sterilization of straycats neglected the impact of thoseanimals on our environment.Nationwide, studies indicate thatat least 39 million birds and over 1billion small mammals are killedeach year.

Organizations attempting tocontrol the number of cats throughcapture, sterilization, and releaseprograms admit that they are fail-ing, overwhelmed by the sheernumber of cats produced in thewild. Free-roaming cats competewith animals such as opossums,raccoons and hawks for food. Alsothese cats may transmit diseaseslike rabies and distemper to bothhumans and wildlife.

Globally, cats create havoc any-where they are introduced. Thedestructive effect of cats on ourworld is second only to habitatdestruction. Numerous Australianenvironmentalists claim the feralcat to be an ecological disaster andimplicate them in the extinction ofseveral marsupial and mammalspecies. In a Brisbane neighbor-hood, feral cats “the size of dogs”have attacked people and pets.

Locally, the damage done bycats is quite evident. For example,in Topits Park, once-plentifulchipmunks, birds and other crit-ters are now seldom seen alongthese trails. You are much morelikely to spot one of the manyneighborhood cats prowling theunderbrush.

Clearly, to mandate the controlof housecats is absolutely neces-sary and long overdue. Animalsshould be kept indoors or leashedat all times. Only then could webegin to protect our wildlife fromthese highly efficient killers, aninvasive species — the commonhousecat.

Mitt Romney has just one jobgoing into the last stretch of thepresidential campaign. He has toconnect with people who voted forBarack Obama in 2008 but are dis-appointed with the president now.He has to assure them that they did-n’t make a mistake back then, that itwasn’t crazy or stupid to believeObama’s promises, but that thingsjust haven’t worked out. And he hasto convince them it’s OK to choose anew candidate this time around;they don’t owe Obama another vote.

The situation facing Romney ishard for some Republicans to com-prehend. They didn’t buy Obama’sbill of goods in the first place and findit hard to sympathize with anyonewho did. But there are millions ofpeople who voted for Obama whoare not only disappointed in him buthave come to the conclusion that hedoes not deserve to be re-elected.The problem for Romney is theymight still be persuaded to vote forthe president. Making them com-fortable with the idea of leavingObama is Romney’s job.

R o m n e ycampaign advis-ers are very, veryfamiliar with thetype. They dopolling, they dofocus groups andthey see the phe-nomenon every-where. Sayscampaign poll-ster NeilN e w h o u s e :“These voters

are my mother-in-law. She’s asoft Republican and voted withpride for Barack Obama in termsof what it meant for the country.And now, every time she talks tome, she’s more than disappointed.She’s frustrated. She’s upset. Shethought she was voting for atransformational leader and feelslike we got just another politician.”

The important thing forRomney, aides believe, is not to rubthe voters’ noses in their decisionfrom four years ago. Don’t bashObama, don’t even harp on how he’snot up to the job — that carries theimplication they should have knownthat when they voted for him. Justfocus on the point that his policieshave not made things better.

On the afternoon before theDemocratic convention began inCharlotte, political messaging guruFrank Luntz convened a focus groupin a local office park. He gathered 27voters, 24 of whom had voted forObama in 2008. Some were stickingwith the president, but a largernumber were undecided, and a fewhad already jumped to Romney.Luntz played some campaign com-mercials for them.

The best-received ad was oneproduced by the pro-Romney superPAC Americans for Prosperity inwhich ’08 Obama voters expresseddisappointment with his perform-ance in office. “I think he’s a greatperson; I don’t feel he is the rightleader for our country,” said onewoman in the ad. “I still believe inhope and change — I just don’t thinkObama is the way to go for that,”said another. They reluctantly con-cluded that Obama has not earnedanother term in office.

Between now and Nov. 6,Romney has to reinforce those vot-ers’ thinking about Obama — andgive them a clear picture of what aRomney presidency would look like.The job will take care and hard work,but the voters are more than ready togo along.

They care for uson duty or off

I want to thank Officer Gaitherfrom the North Bend PoliceDepartment for reporting some-thing he saw while he was off duty.It led to the recovery of someproperty that I accidentally left ina public place. From his informa-tion, Officer Kirk of the Coos BayPolice Department did a great jobof getting it back and letting meknow as soon as he could.

It is wonderful that they care forus whether they are on duty or off.With all the horrible crimes of late,it makes me think about how dan-gerous their jobs are. I thank themfor their service, and when you getthe chance to greet an officer in thecommunity, I hope you will too.

Dear Fellow Coosiers:

I recently received some star-tling news from a bright youngman in a white coat:

You, my friends are soongoing to have to muddle alongwithout me.

Despite instantly shatteringmy lifelong delusion that indeedI was the only immortal amongus, I have been led to a number ofdiscoveries, I promise only a fewwhich I will burden you with. (Ican now finish sentences with apreposition if I want to!)

I leave the most wonderfulwoman on the planet in yourcapable and loving hands andam so glad that Becky and I

made Coos Bay our home fouryears ago, it’s hard to imagine.

Without that hostage to thefuture, the buckets of credit cardoffers I get in the mail wouldhave a whole new meaning tome. Heh, heh, heh. A last minutedash to Tierra del Fuego on Bankof America’s dime? Oh yeah,Chase would you really like toplay some ball with me. Really?Really, really?

But money jokes aside, what Iwant to share with you is whenyour bright young man in a whitecoat says it’s time to start closingthe important accounts, finishyour path with a smile on yourface. You will see that you haveso very, very much more to be

happy about than you have to besad about. The only sadness isthat which you can’t help caus-ing others. The happiness is inknowing you can still get yet onemore kiss and maybe pat yourhostage to the future on her lau-rels one more time.

Tonight when you are tempt-ed to cuff your knucklehead onthe ear, kiss him instead, it willfreak him out. Resolve neveragain to finish your phone calls,unless it is to a bank, without thewords, “I love you.” Love eachother just a little bit more if youcan stand to. Be happy.

Daryl L. Bell-GreenstreetCoquille

Dark news, bright perspective

You’ve probably seen theslogan for Ballot Measure 79:“Stop another tax on yourhome.”

It might as well say, “Stopanother revival of disco.” Ineach case, the danger is the-oretically plausible but hard-ly imminent.

Measure 79 is being pro-moted (and heavily financed)by the Oregon Association ofRealtors. It would amendOregon’s constitution toprohibit new taxes and feeson real estate sales.

Given the urgent tone ofthe Measure 79 campaign,you might guess Oregon

politicians were clamoring totax real estate transactions.Not so. The only such tax inthe entire state is inWashington County, and theidea is not spreading to otherareas.

Nor is it likely to do so.Trying to tax the sale ofhomes would endanger thecareer of any politician, byannoying homeowners and

enraging Realtors.Furthermore, a strong argu-ment can be made that put-ting a special tax on this sin-gle category of purchase isunfair and illogical.

Then why not ban suchtaxes?

Because junking up thestate constitution with nar-rowly focused exclusions isequally unfair, equally illogi-

cal, and simply unwise.State law already prohibits

enactment of real estatetransaction taxes in mostcircumstances. TheLegislature is unlikely tochange that law, but it couldif circumstances somedayrequired it. Conditions maychange 10 or 20 years fromnow, but a constitutionalamendment slams the door

on even considering theoption.

In essence, real estatetransactions would have aspecial protection from taxa-tion. That’s plainly unfair toother segments of the econ-omy. Notably, the OregonBusiness Association recent-ly announced its oppositionto Measure 79, advocating acomprehensive rather thanpiecemeal approach to taxreform.

Taxing real estate transac-tions probably isn’t a goodidea. But neither is pre-emptively amendingOregon’s constitution.

Woman’s golfingcompanion has

knocked herinto the roughDDEEAARR AABBBBYY:: I thought

“Arlene” was a close frienduntil I heard that she andanother “friend” hadarranged a trip to the theater.Several other women werealso invited, but I wasn’t. Ishould point out that whenArlene and I attended showsin the past, I was always theone buying the tickets.

I paid for her golf dues lastOctober because she was alittle short, and she still owesme about$1,000. Ip r o v i d e dher trans-portation tothe golf clubfor the lastfour yearsbecause shed o e s n ’ thave a car.Arlene and Ihave sharedmany shop-ping tripst o g e t h e r,and I havealways picked up the tab forlunch.

What’s your take on this?I’m crushed!— LEFT OUT

DDEEAARR LLEEFFTT OOUUTT:: If thiswas a one-time event, thenit’s time to straighten up and“uncrush” yourself because,regardless of how muchmoney you have invested inyour relationship withArlene, you don’t “own” her.My take on this is that in yourzeal to be a good friend youhave gone overboard.

If being excluded is anongoing problem, then youand this woman are not asclose as you assumed, or shehas decided to take abreather. In that case, myadvice is to work out a pay-ment plan for the golf duesyou are owed and widen yourcircle of friends.

DDEEAARR AABBBBYY:: We have alarge condo in Florida and arethrilled to have family andfriends visit. I keep a smallcalendar of our appoint-ments, events, etc. in thecorner of my kitchen. A fewof our visitors have made ittheir business to read the cal-endar and ask me who andwhat these events are allabout.

My husband and I havebeen having some marriageproblems and are seeing atherapist. One relativenoticed these appointmentsand wanted to know “whatthat was all about”! Abby,isn’t it rude to read some-one’s personal calendar andask these kinds of questions?I must leave the calendarwhere it can be seen or myhusband doesn’t remembermedical appointments, etc.— CALENDAR GIRL

DDEEAARR CCAALLEENNDDAARR GGIIRRLL::Of course it’s rude to readsomeone’s personal calendar.(It’s called snooping.) Beforethe next houseguests come tovisit, relocate the calendar toa private area. Then remindyour husband about hisappointments. That way hewill know the schedule, andthere will be nothing toarouse anyone’s curiosity.

DDEEAARR AABBBBYY:: Why can’tbakeries slice Englishmuffins and bagels com-pletely through? Nobody eatseither one without toastingthem and slicing them first.

Along the same line: Whydo loaves of bread have“ends”? Everybody throwsthem away and they arewasted. — MINA IN KELSO,WASH.

DDEEAARR MMIINNAA:: Englishmuffins aren’t meant to besliced. To prepare them attheir best, they should bepurchased whole and theperimeter perforated using afork so the muffin can then betorn apart before toasting.This leaves lots of irregularnooks and crannies so whenthey are buttered, they areeven more succulent.

As to the ends of breadloaves (called “heels”), noteveryone throws them away,just as not everyone cuts thecrusts off. Some people enjoythe heels because they makefor a chewier sandwich.

SALEM (AP) —Lawmakers have beenunable to agree on how tofree some of Oregon’s publicuniversities from the controlof a statewide higher educa-tion board.

The joint SpecialCommittee on UniversityGovernance has met 10times to determine how localuniversity governing boardswould function, and it hasbeen unable to answer fun-damental questions such aswhen the boards would beformed, who would sit on thepanels. and what connec-tions would remain with thestate.

“I won’t say it’s a conun-drum,” state Sen. Mark Hass,D-Beaverton, told TheRegister-Guard newspaper.

“But it’s still vexing. It’s toomany moving pieces that westill have to, frankly, coordi-nate better.”

Oregon’s seven publicuniversities are currentlygoverned by the State Boardof Higher Education. It hiresand fire presidents and setsbudgets and tuition.

University of Oregon andPortland State Universityofficials want local control ofthose decisions. The officialscontend the universitiescan’t reach their full poten-tial while so many key deci-sions are made by theLegislature or the StateBoard of Higher Education.

They’ve asked theLegislature to create newgoverning boards specific toeach institution that would

take on oversight of many oftheir most important affairs.Administrators at several ofthe other schools, however,worry that the universitieswill end up competinginstead of collaborating.

The joint special com-mittee composed a roughdraft of a bill to be submittedto the full Legislature nextyear. Lawmakers concludedthe state may benefit fromuniversity-level governingboards if the panels:

n Operate transparently.n Are closely focused on

the individual university.n Do not hurt universities

that opt not to create boards.n Lead to greater access

and affordability for Oregonstudents.

n Have a dual fiduciary

role to the university and tothe state as a whole.

But the details aresketchy.

“There are going to begaps, and there’s still somework to be done once it getsinto the hands of theLegislature as a whole,” saidRep. Mike Dembrow, D-Portland. “But we thinkwe’ve created a frameworkhere.”

According to the bill, theuniversity-level boardsshould hold annual tuitionand fee increases to thePortland consumer priceindex, and never more than 5percent.

But the 5 percent shouldnot be assumed, said Rep.Mark Johnson, R-HoodRiver.

“Five percent a year is,frankly, too high. Five per-cent a year as far as the eyecan see leads to doubling (oftuition) in a pretty shortorder,” he said.

Another area of confu-sion is what universitiesshould keep doing togetherto gain efficiencies of scaleand make it easy for studentsto transfer between them.And the most elusive deci-sion seemed to be how thenewly independent universi-ties would be connected withthe state.

“What we really did wastry to find that sweet spot ofletting these two universities(UO and PSU) reach theirhighest potential, yet alsomaintaining the integrity ofthe state system,” Hass said.

PORTLAND (AP) —Oregon’s minimum wage isgoing up to $8.95 an hour.

State LaborCommissioner Brad Avakianannounced the 15-centincrease Monday. The raisetakes effect Jan. 1.

State law approved byvoters in 2002 directs thecommissioner to adjust theminimum wage for inflationevery September.

This year’s wage tracks a1.7 percent increase in theConsumer Price Index sinceAugust 2011.

Oregon’s minimum wagewill now be 23 percent higherthan the federal minimumwage of $7.25 per hour.

Small anniversaryprotest in Portland

PORTLAND (AP) —About 100 demonstratorshave marched in Portland, tomark the one-year anniver-sary of the Occupy WallStreet movement.

Demonstrators inPortland, Seattle and variousother cities took to thestreets Monday to mark theanniversary of the OccupyWall Street protests. In NewYork City, a few hundredprotesters were reported andmore than 180 were arrested,mostly on disorderly con-duct charges.

Ore. legislator supportsMarijuana legalization

MEDFORD (AP) — Aprominent state lawmakerhas given his support toMeasure 80, an initiative that

would legalize marijuana useby adults.

State Rep. Peter Buckleyhas served as co-chairman ofthe Legislature’s Ways andMeans Committee for thepast two sessions.

The Ashland Democrattold the Mail Tribune news-paper he supports regulatingmarijuana in a manner simi-lar to the regulation of alco-hol under the Oregon LiquorControl Commission.

He says legalizationwould take the “black mar-ket” out of Oregon.

Oregon voters will decidethis November on theOregon Cannabis Tax Act.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —A $125 million gift fromNike’s founder will establisha cardiovascular institute atOregon Health and ScienceUniversity that the hospitalpromises will speed thedevelopment of treatmentstrategies for cardiovasculardisease and get them topatients faster.

The gift from Phil Knightis expected to help inrecruiting doctors andbridging the so-called trans-lational gap between the data

found in research and itsapplication in a clinical set-ting.

OHSU physicians AlbertStarr and Sanjiv Kaul willlead the project, aiming toconfront the entire spectrumof cardiovascular disease,from prevention to regenera-tion of tissue after a heartattack.

OHSU Foundation interimpresident Constance Frenchsays the gift is “changing thegame” in the field of cardio-vascular medicine.

The $125 million donationis the largest in OHSU histo-ry.

Hospital spokeswomanTamara Hargens-Bradley saidthe hospital has no plans yet toannounce whether the institutewill require new construction.

“It’s all being sorted outright now,” Hargens-Bradleysaid.

The donation follows a2008 gift of $100 million fromPhil Knight and his wife,Penny,that went to the hospital’sKnight Cancer Institute.

CERRITOS, Calif. (AP) —While the man behind an anti-Islam movie that ignited vio-lence across the Middle Eastwould likely face swift punish-ment in his native Egypt formaking the film, in Americathe government is in thethorny position of protectinghis free speech rights andlooking out for his safety evenwhile condemning his mes-sage.

It’s a paradox that makeslittle sense to those protestingand calling for blood. To them,the movie dialogue denigrat-

ing the Prophet Muhammad isall the evidence needed topursue justice — vigilante orotherwise — against NakoulaBassely Nakoula, an Americancitizen originally from Egypt.

In America, there’s nothingillegal about making a moviethat disparages a religious fig-ure. And that has the Obamaadministration walking adiplomatic tight rope less thantwo months before the election— how to express outrage overthe movie’s treatment of Islamwithout compromising themost basic American freedom.

The situation also raisesvexing questions about howfar the government can andshould go to protect someonewho exercises their FirstAmendment right. In thepast, for example, police havestood guard to ensure Nazisand the Ku Klux Klan couldmarch without being attackedfor their views.

But Nakoula’s case invitesscrutiny because the freespeech he exercised with thefilm “Innocence of Muslims”has had such far-reaching andviolent implications.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Jerry Wiseman notices it’sharder to turn and check hiscar’s blind spots at age 69than it was at 50. So theIllinois man and his wife tooka refresher driving course,hunting tips to stay safebehind the wheel for manymore years — a good ideaconsidering their state hasarguably the nation’s tough-est older-driver laws.

More older drivers are onthe road than ever before, andan Associated Press reviewfound they face a hodgepodgeof state licensing rules thatreflect scientific uncertaintyand public angst over a grow-ing question: How can we tellif it’s time to give up the keys?

Thirty states plus theDistrict of Columbia havesome sort of older-agerequirement for driver’slicenses, ranging from morevision testing to making sen-iors renew their licensesmore frequently thanyounger people. At what age?That’s literally all over themap. Maryland starts eyeexams at 40. Shorter licenserenewals kick in anywherefrom age 59 in Georgia to 85 inTexas.

The issue attracted newattention when a 100-year-olddriver backed over a group of

schoolchildren in Los Angeleslate last month. That’s a rarity,but with an imminent surge insenior drivers, the federal gov-ernment is proposing that allstates take steps to addresswhat the National HighwayTraffic Safety Administrationcalls “the real and growingproblem of older driver safety.”

Here’s the conundrum:“Birthdays don’t kill. Healthconditions do,” said JosephCoughlin, head of theMassachusetts Institute ofTechnology’s AgeLab, whichdevelops technologies to helpolder people stay active.

Healthy older driversaren’t necessarily less safethan younger ones, Coughlinpoints out. But many olderpeople have health issues thatcan impair driving, fromarthritis to dementia, fromslower reflexes to the use ofmultiple medications. There’sno easy screening tool thatlicensing authorities can useto spot people with subtlehealth risks. So some statesuse birthdays as a proxy formore scrutiny instead.

Senior driving is a morecomplicated issue than head-line-grabbing tragediesmight suggest. Older driversdon’t crash as often asyounger ones. But they alsodrive less. About 60 percentof seniors voluntarily cutback, avoiding nighttimedriving or interstates or badweather, said David Eby ofthe University of Michigan’sCenter for Advancing SafeTransportation throughoutthe Lifespan.

NEW YORK — OccupyWall Street protesters cele-brated the movement’sanniversary on Monday byclogging intersections in thecity’s financial district,marching to the beat ofdrums that were a familiarrefrain last year.

Protesters roamed aroundthe lower Manhattan finan-cial district all morning ingroups of a few dozen each,from one intersection toanother and back again,chanting loudly about the illsof Wall Street. In total, therewere a few hundred protest-ers scattered throughout thecity. More than 180 of themwere arrested by earlyMonday evening, mostly ondisorderly conduct charges.

The day’s events lackedthe heft of Occupy protestslast year, when protestersgathered by the thousands.But Occupiers were upbeatas they spread out in theirold stomping grounds, giddyat the prospect of beingtogether again. Theybrushed off any suggestionsthat the movement hadpetered out.

“This is a movement. It’sonly been a year,” said pro-tester Justin Stone Diaz, ofBrooklyn. “It’s going to takemany years for it to develop

and figure out exactly whowe are.”

But the movement is nowa shadow of its mightyinfancy, when a group ofyoung people harnessed thepower of a disillusionednation and took to the streetschanting about corporategreed and inequality.

A familiar Statue ofLiberty puppet was back,bobbing in the crowd aboveprotesters’ heads. Protestersin wheelchairs blocked aroad and chanted “All day, allweek, occupy Wall Street!”before they were steered offthe road by police.

Zuccotti Park, the former

home of the encampment,was encircled by metal policebarricades lined with policeofficers standing watch.

Events were planned inmore than 30 cities world-wide.

In San Francisco, localOccupy groups planned tooccupy 10 banks across the

city and then hold an eveningrally honoring foreclosurefighters, people who’ve beenhelping residents stave offforeclosures by squatting orholding sit-ins, outside theBank of America building inthe Financial District, the siteof previous protests. Theythen planned to march.

More than 180 Occupy arrests in NYC

The Associated Press

Occupy Wall Street protestor Chris Philips screams as he is arrested near Zuccotti Park, Monday, in New York. Multiple Occupy Wall Streetprotestors have been arrested during a march toward the New York Stock Exchange on the anniversary of the grass-roots movement.

NEW YORK (AP) — Agroup campaigning againstobesity predicts that by 2030more than half the people in39 states will be obese — notmerely overweight, butobese.

Mississippi is expected toretain its crown as the fatteststate in the nation for at leasttwo more decades. Thereport predicts 67 percent ofthat state’s adults will beobese by 2030; that would bean astounding increase fromMississippi’s current 35 per-cent obesity rate.

The new projections werereleased today by Trust forAmerica’s Health and theRobert Wood Johnson Foun-dation. The two organiza-tions regularly report onobesity to raise awareness,and they rely on governmentfigures.

But in this case, their dis-mal forecast goes beyond the42 percent national obesitylevel that federal health offi-cials project by 2030.

About two-thirds ofAmericans are overweightnow. That includes thosewho are obese, a group thataccounts for about 36 per-cent. Obesity rates have beenholding steady in recentyears.

Trust for America’s Healthofficials said the projectionswere based on state-by-statesurveys by the Centers forDisease Control and Preven-tion from 1999 through 2010.They said their projectionsare reasonable.

But their outlook suggeststhat even in the thinnest state— Colorado, where aboutone-fifth of residents areobese — 45 percent are pre-dicted to be obese by 2030.

Perhaps more surprising— Delaware is expected tohave obesity levels nearly ashigh as Mississippi. Delawarecurrently is in the middle ofthe pack when it comes toself-reported obesity rates.

The report didn’t detailwhy some states’ rates wereexpected to jump more thanothers.

CDC officials declined tocomment on the new report.

Whichever estimates youtrust most, it’s clear that thenation’s weight problem isgoing to continue, escalatingthe number cases of diabetes,heart disease and stroke, saidJeff Levi, executive directorof Trust for America’sHealth.

By 2030, medical costsfrom treating obesity-relateddiseases are likely to increaseby $48 billion, to $66 billionper year, his report said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Somuch for silence from tele-marketers at the cherisheddinner hour, or any otherhour of the day.

Complaints to the govern-ment are up sharply aboutunwanted phone solicita-tions, raising questionsabout how well the federal“do-not-call” registry isworking. The biggest cate-gory of complaint: thoseannoying prerecorded pitch-es called robocalls that hawkeverything from lower creditcard interest rates to newwindows for your home.

Robert Madison, 43, ofShawnee, Kan., says he gets

automated calls almost dailyfrom “Ann, with credit serv-ices,” offering to lower hisinterest rates.

“I am completely fed up,”Madison said in an interview.“I’ve repeatedly asked them totake me off their call list.”Whenhe challenges their right to call,the solicitors become combat-ive, he said. “There’s just noth-ing that they won’t do.”

Madison, who works for asoftware company, says hisphone number has been onthe do-not-call list for years.Since he hasn’t made anyprogress getting “Ann” tostop calling, Madison hasstarted to file complaints

about her to the FederalTrade Commission, whichoversees the list.

Amid fanfare from con-sumer advocates, the federaldo-not-call list was put inplace nearly a decade ago as atool to limit telemarketingsales calls to people who did-n’t want to be bothered. Theregistry has more than 209million phone numbers on it.That’s a significant chunk ofthe country, considering thatthere are about 84 millionresidential customers withtraditional landline phonesand plenty more people withcellphone numbers, whichcan also be placed on the list.

Stocks were off to a slowstart on Wall Street Tuesdayafter FedEx said it’s seeingmore weakness in the globaleconomy. Markets in Europefell, and so did oil prices.

The Dow Jones industrialaverage was down four pointsat 13,549 after the first half-

hour of trading. The Standard& Poor’s 500 index fell threepoints to 1,458 and the Nasdaqcomposite lost four points to3,174.

FedEx’s assessment of theglobal economy carries a lot ofweight with investors becauseits package delivery businessspans across so many cornersof the world. On Tuesday the

company said the worldwideeconomy was in a “stall.” Italso said it’s seeing recession-like conditions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Agiant panda at theSmithsonian’s National Zoo isa mother for the second time,giving birth to a cub afteryears of failed pregnancies.

Scientists at the zoo had allbut given up on Mei Xiang’schances of conceiving, butlate Sunday, the 14-year-oldPanda gave birth to a hairlesscub that is about the size of astick of butter. The next fewdays will be critical and thenewborn, as part of Chinesetradition, will be named whenit is 100 days old.

CAIRO (AP) — Al-Qaida’sbranch in North Africa onTuesday called for attacks onU.S. diplomats and an esca-lation of protests against ananti-Islam video that wasproduced in the UnitedStates and triggered a waveof demonstrations and riotsin the Middle East andbeyond.

While demonstrationshave tapered off in nationsincluding Egypt and Tunisia,protests against the filmturned violent in Pakistanand Indian-controlledKashmir and hundreds ofpeople rallied in Indonesiaand Thailand.

In Kabul, the Afghan cap-ital, a suicide bomberrammed a car packed withexplosives into a mini-buscarrying South African avia-tion workers to the airport,killing at least 12 people in anattack that a militant groupsaid was revenge for the film

“Innocence of Muslims,”which was made by anEgyptian-born Americancitizen.

Afghan President HamidKarzai said the attack killedeight South Africans, threeAfghans and a Kyrgyzstani.

At least 10 protesters havedied in riots in several coun-tries, bringing the total num-ber of deaths linked to unrestover the film to 22.

U.S. officials describe thevideo as offensive, but theAmerican government’s pro-tection of free speech rightshas clashed with the anger ofMuslims abroad who are furi-ous over the depiction of theProphet Muhammad as afraud, womanizer andpedophile.

In a statement, Al-Qaidain the Land of the IslamicMaghreb praised the killingof Christopher Stevens, theU.S. ambassador to Libya, inan attack on the U.S. con-

sulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11.The group threatened attacksin Algeria, Tunisia, Moroccoand Mauritania.

The group urged Muslimsto pull down and burnAmerican flags at embassies,and kill or expel Americandiplomats to “purge our landof their filth in revenge for thehonor of the Prophet.”

Yemen-based al-Qaida inthe Arabian Peninsularecently issued a similar callfor attacks on U.S. diplomaticfacilities. It is al-Qaida’s mostactive branch in the MiddleEast.

An Islamist militantgroup, H izb-i-Islami,claimed responsibility forthe attack in Kabul. Thegroup is headed by 65-year-old former warlordGubuddin Hekmatyar, a for-

mer Afghan prime ministerand one-time U.S. ally whois now listed as a terrorist byWashington. The militia hasthousands of fighters andfollowers across the coun-try’s north and east.

In Pakistan, hundreds ofangry protesters brokethrough a barricade outsidethe U.S. Consulate in thenorthwest city of Peshawar,sparking clashes with policethat left several wounded onboth sides, said police officerArif Khan. The demonstra-tors threw bricks and flamingwads of cloth at the police,who pushed them back byfiring tear gas and rubber bul-lets and charging withbatons. The protest wasorganized by the youth wingof the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami party.

NANTERRE, France (AP)— A French court ordered amagazine publisher to handover all digital copies of top-less photos of the Duchess ofCambridge within 24 hoursand blocked further publica-tion of what it called a “bru-tal display” of William andKate’s private moments.

Under the rulingtoday, the Frenchgossip magazineCloser faces a dailyfine of $13,100 if itfails to hand over thephotos taken duringthe royals’ vacationin southern Franceand cannot dissemi-nate them any fur-ther, including on itswebsite and tabletapp.

The magazine published14 photos of a partially cladKate in its pages on Friday.

But if the royal family hadhoped to block internationalpublication, it was too late.Publications in Ireland andItaly already went ahead withthe topless photos. Tues-day’s ruling only affectsMondadori MagazinesFrance, Closer’s publisher.The publisher also faces a$2,600 fine.

“These snapshots whichshowed the intimacy of acouple, partially naked onthe terrace of a private home,

surrounded by a park severalhundred meters from a pub-lic road, and being able tolegitimately assume thatthey are protected frompassers-by, are by natureparticularly intrusive,” theFrench ruling decreed.“(They) were thus subjectedto this brutal display the

moment the coverappeared.”

The photos showPrince William’swife Kate relaxing ata private villa inProvence, in south-ern France, some-times without herbikini top and, in onecase, her suit bottompartially pulleddown to apply sun-screen.

The lawyer for Mondadorifailed to show up at thecourthouse on Tuesday.

Maud Sobel, a lawyer forthe royal couple, described itas “a wonderful decision.”

“We’ve been vindicated,”Sobel said.

The case is the first of twolegal actions by the Britishroyals. In a reflection of justhow intent they are on pro-tecting their privacy — andlikely dissuading paparazzifrom future ventures — St.James’s Palace said familylawyers would be filing acriminal complaint.
