Otter touts finances,but furloughs,layoffs loom By Jared S. Hopkins Times-News writer Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter continues to tout Idaho’s fiscal responsibility, but he has already begun allocating some of the $7 million in discretionary funds the Legislature gave him to soften cuts to state agency payrolls that kicked in July 1. The $7 million was part of a session-ending compro- mise with the Legislature. To help balance the budget, lawmakers and Otter agreed to slash state employee pay- roll by 5 percent by letting agency directors decide where to make the cuts. If they couldn’t do so, they could ask Otter for some money. Through last week, just nine of the nearly 70 agen- cies had requested funding, according to the governor’s office and Division of Financial Management.

For most state executive branch agencies, the 5 per- cent payroll cut will be met through salary savings, con- solidation of services and leaving vacancies unfilled, without layoffs or fur- loughs.

Friends rememberbicyclist who died inTwin Falls accidentBy Ben BotkinTimes-News writer
David Webster was anavid bicyclist who also rel-ished running and swim-ming before his life ended onJune 25.
Webster, a Twin Falls res-ident, was killed while ridinghis bicycle on Falls AvenueEast in a collision with avehicle traveling west-bound, according to theTwin Falls County Sheriff’sOffice.
A service for Webster willbe held at 7 p.m. Friday atthe Twin Falls ReformedChurch.
Webster, who was a plantbreeder and geneticist forSeminis Vegetable Seed inFiler, was a renowned scien-tist and worked in diseaseresistance development inpeas, said Brenda Larsen, afriend of the family.
“David was an unsungcommunity hero,” she saidof Webster, who helped peo-ple start their own gardensand lived a healthy lifestyle.
While in his 40s, Websterwas a triathlete — and onewho encouraged others toparticipate in athletic activ-ities.
“He had lots of energy —unlimited energy,” said EdBriles, a friend of Webster’s.“He was quite a triathletewhen he was younger. Hewas very active. He wouldwork at his job all day and gofor a 20-mile bike ride or aswim.”
Heidi Stutzman of Buhl,
another friend, credited herrunning activity to Webster.
When they met about 25years ago at a Falls to FallsFun Run event, he told herthat she had the potential tobe a runner.
“To this day I’ve beenrunning, and a lot of it’s dueto David Webster,”Stutzman said. “He was justa really good person. Hecared a lot about everybodyhe knew and even people hedidn’t know. He vary rarelyspoke about himself.”
Larsen said Webster wasriding a route that he hadoften taken when he was hit.She also said to her knowl-edge he was adhering to allsafety precautions, includ-ing wearing a helmet andtravelling with traffic.

David Webster, an avid outdoors-
man, was killed while riding his
bicycle in Twin Falls on June 25.
said Twin Falls CountySheriff’s Office spokes-woman Lori Stewart. “Ibelieve he was comingacross the border fromMexico and since then hehas been transferred here.”
The warrant return wasdated June 27, according toTwin Falls 5th DistrictCourt records.
Twin Falls CountyProsecutor Grant Loebssaid Tuesday that authori-ties didn’t know whereOsterhoudt was.
“All we know is hecouldn’t be located,” Loebssaid. “Warrants were outand had been out a longtime.”
Stewart said Tuesdaythat the arrest warrant wasissued for Osterhoudtwhen he did not show for acourt appearance.
Buhl Police Sgt. KevinHammers said Tuesday hewas unaware of the arrest,though he knew of the out-
standing warrant from2007.
A neighbor to the Buhladdress listed forOsterhoudt on the warrantreturn, Mack Phillips, toldthe Times-News Tuesdaythat he had not seenOsterhoudt in two years,but had heard of the arrest.
The allegations againstOsterhoudt span time-frames between 2002 and2006, but it wasn’t untilthis year that he was jailedafter appearing in at leastthree “Wanted in the MagicValley” news items in theTimes-News.
The court on Mondayentered a not guilty plea forOsterhoudt when he wasarraigned on the charges.He has a status hearing setfor Sept. 28, and is beingheld on $1 million bond atthe Twin Falls County Jail.

the House and Senatewrangled with session-ending politics, stymieingits progress. It had passedthe Senate unanimously.
“Citizens have a right toexpect a certain amount ofbasic and personal infor-mation about their electedofficials,” said Mary Boyle,vice president for commu-nications for the open gov-ernment group CommonCause. Disclosure lawsallow the public “to make ajudgment about whetherthere are conflicts of inter-est,” Boyle said.
Meanwhile, Louisiana’sranking in the studyjumped to first from 44 in2006, thanks in part to asweeping ethics reformpackage from Gov. BobbyJindal.
The CPI has reported ondisclosure requirements instate legislatures since 1999and bases rankings on a 43-question survey.
Kelly, a champion ofethics reform, said Idaho’sranking is disappointingbut hopes the state makesprogress soon.
“It’s about public trust,and people do care aboutit,” she said. “The peoplewho are in power might notcare about it but in terms ofestablishing public trust ingovernment and their gov-ernment officials, it is criti-cally important we havestrong ethics laws.”
Sen. Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, pointed out howsome states that receivedgood marks for disclosureare sometimes embroiled inscandals. But he said theSenate made an effort.
“The Senate tried to takesome reasonable steps for-ward that would’ve placedus a lot higher,” he said.“I’m all in favor of appro-priate disclosure but forwhatever reason that billwas not allowed to pro-ceed.”
partnership we have with theCollege of Southern Idaho,”Nellis said, adding that theuniversity’s goal should be tocomplement the programsthat other institutions offerat CSI — not duplicate them.
“It can’t be about me,”Nellis said when visitingwith an audience of about 30at CSI. “It has to be about allof us.”
Nellis met with CSIPresident Jerry Beck as well,and heard about the college’splanning efforts to provide acentralized location for thethree universities with apresence on the CSI campus.
The college is gettingmore space because of thecollege’s new health sciences
and human services buildingunder construction.Currently, CSI is looking atoptions for the SouthernIdaho Higher EducationCenter’s location thatinclude the Aspen andEvergreen buildings on cam-pus, Beck said.
“I look forward to workingwith him,” Beck said ofNellis.
Before coming to the U ofI, Nellis was provost andsenior vice president atKansas State University.
Born in Spokane, Wash.,Nellis earned a bachelor’sdegree in geography atMontana State Universityand master’s and doctoraldegrees in geography atOregon State University.
requests to about a half-dozen agencies, includingthe Department ofCommerce and the IdahoSchool for the Deaf and theBlind. Applications arepending from the Depart-ment of Water Resourcesand Department ofCorrection.
So far, there is no clearpattern to how agencies aremeeting the 5 percent cut.
• Some agency plansinclude layoffs, such asthree range-managementemployees at theDepartment of Lands. Thelayoffs extend from smallagencies to larger ones likethe Department ofCorrection, which plans tolay off at least 22 employees.
• Meanwhile, agenciesthat use dedicated fund rev-enue — federal money oruser fees, not state revenue— received only a 3 percentcut in payroll. The IdahoFish and Game Departmentplans to consolidate jobsand issue furloughs, butlayoffs remain possible.
• Agencies outside theexecutive branch received a5 percent cut, too.Employees at legislativeservices will take 14 fur-lough days.
In determining fundingfor the AG and the DHW,“The governor was guidedby the principle of cuttinggovernment where we could without significantlyimpacting vital services assome other states are con-sidering and — in fact — aredoing,” Spokesman JonHanian wrote in an e-mail.
In denying funds, Haniancited Department ofCommerce plans to use“salary savings, reduce the
number of temporaryemployees (exact numbernot yet determined), andimplement agency-widefurlough days.”
“They are doing what anumber of other agenciesare doing which includes amix of furloughs and reduc-ing temporary workers,”Hanian said. “The bottomline is they have a plan thatwill meet the targeted goalswithout hindering their coremission or impacting vitalservices.”
The various plans come asOtter praises the Legislaturefor balancing the budget —an action required by theIdaho Constitution — andkeeping its “financial housein order.”
“As we begin what figuresto be another difficultbudget cycle, we remaincommitted to ensuring thatthe precious resources ofour people are protected andused as efficiently andeffectively as possible,”Otter said.
Sen. Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, who is co-chairman
of the Joint Finance-Appropriations Commit-tee, echoed that sentimentbut pointed out that law-makers will receive a reporton how Otter uses the $7 million.
“Whatever he’s deemednot necessary would rollover,” he said.“He’s certain-ly responsible and on thehook for how that $7 million is being used. Ihave confidence and I havehope he will use it in aresponsible way.”
Rep. Wendy Jaquet,D-Ketchum, also a member
of JFAC, said she knowsthere are limits to how Ottercan use the funding but isskeptical of Otter turningdown the requests.
“I’m concerned if he’sreally turned down seven(agencies). I’m concernedabout that,” she said. “I car-ried a 3 percent cut (insteadof a 5 percent cut), and Ithink that was more fair. Itmakes me sad that ouragencies are going to have togo to him and ask for hisfunding. They’re nervousabout asking for his fund-ing.”

IIwon’t be going out ofthe house anytimesoon without dark
sunglasses and a fakemustache. And if you livein Twin Falls, neithershould you.
That’s because theshameful news arrivedonly last week: Twin Fallsis no longer the seventh-largest city in Idaho,according to the CensusBureau. We’ve dropped toNo. 8.
Fair enough, but thetrouble is which otherIdaho city we’ve fallenbehind:
Caldwell.Don’t get me wrong,
Caldwell is home to finepeople and many pavedstreets. It’s just that withCaldwell, there’s noTHERE there.
Caldwell makes TwinFalls seem like Vegas. TheCanyon County commu-nity doesn’t bother to rollup the streets at 9 p.m.; itjust never bothers tounroll them.
Caldwell is Burley,except with a Carl’s Jr.
And unfortunately,Caldwell and Twin Fallsgo way back.
In 1905, the leading cit-izens of our year-old burgthought it would be swellto call Twin Falls “TheMagic City.” Trouble wasthat Caldwell had alreadyclaimed that title.
So the CaldwellTribune and the TwinFalls News engaged in aspirited bout of tank-town insults across 150miles of sagebrush. Forseveral years, it was thebest entertainment inIdaho outside theLegislature.
There have been noIdaho governors fromTwin Falls, but two fromCaldwell.
The first, FrankSteunenberg, got blownup by the Wobblies in1905. The second is C.L.“Butch” Otter.
Caldwell has producedmany other notables —Kentucky Derby-winningjockey Gary Stevens andRenee Tenison, the 1990Playboy Playmate of theYear, included — whobecame famous by leav-ing.
All of this is especiallyhard for us because foryears, Twin Falls operatedunder the polite fiction that it was one of the BigFour cities in Idaho, aneat, geographical trape-zoid that also includedBoise, Idaho Falls and

The Twin Falls CityCouncil on Monday voted6-0 to approve a con-veyance plat for theCollege of Southern Idaho,allowing the communitycollege to sell propertyexpected to eventuallyhouse a new fire station.
The two-acre parcel,located on the westernportion of CSI’s 60-acreproperty north of NorthCollege Road, is expectedto be bought by the TwinFalls Rural Fire ProtectionDistrict.
“We believe it’s gonnaproceed in that fashion,”Twin Falls CommunityDevelopment DirectorMitch Humble told theTwin Falls City Council.
CSI President Jerry Becksaid the sale is for about$500,000. Rural Fire ChiefJim Olsen could not bereached for comment.
Beck said the districtapproached the collegeabout 18 months ago to address a potential needin a growing area of thecity. He said he under-stands that once anotherstation is built in northeastTwin Falls, which isanother growing area, theexisting station on FallsAvenue will probablyclose.
Beck noted the college
could strike an educationalpartnership in the futurefor an expansion of its fireeducation classes.
The new fire station — ifthere’s a need in the future—would be built by theTwin Falls FireDepartment. Twin FallsFire Chief Ron Clark saidthe concept of the districtbuying the land and thecity building the fire sta-tion hasn’t been donebefore. The existing threestations within city limitswere entirely city-backedprojects.
“At some point the cityis going to grow to theextent it requires addition-al fire protection,” Clarksaid. “When that is, I don’tknow.”
A conveyance plat isrequired in order for aproperty to be subdividedto be either sold or devel-oped, said Humble.
In related news, the CityCouncil voted 6-0 in favorof a PUD agreement, orland-use contract, withthe College of SouthernIdaho regarding its 60-acre property north ofNorth College Road whereits new Health and HumanServices facility is beingbuilt.
Councilman Don Hall,who works at the CSI, didnot vote on or participatein discussion of both agen-da items.

Attorney in vehicularmanslaughter case filesfor change of venueBy Ariel HansenTimes-News writer
HAILEY — At a Tuesdaystatus hearing for CodyStevens, the Twin Fallsman accused of causingthe March 10 car crash thatkilled Hailey resident BertRedfern, Stevens’ attorneyfiled a motion to changethe venue of Stevens’ trial.
Hailey attorney DougWerth cited in andattached to his motion ahalf-inch-thick stack ofprintouts of news coverageof the case, including arti-cles from area newspapers,Web sites and blogs, whichhe says “illustrate the per-vasive pretrial publicityand bias against myclient.”
In his motion, Werthwrote that Redfern was alongtime resident of BlaineCounty, was known bymany people in the com-munity and worked for aprominent law firm.
He noted that her estatefiled a wrongful-deathcivil lawsuit againstStevens, which has also
been reported in themedia.
“In my opinion, a fairand impartial jury cannotbe impaneled in BlaineCounty given the wide-spread and unfair publicityin this case,” Werth wrote.
Stevens is charged withvehicular manslaughter inRedfern’s death, and isalleged to have beeninvolved in four separateBlaine County vehicle col-lisions between 6 a.m. and1 p.m. that day. While inpolice custody, he alleged-ly exhibited behavior con-sistent with prescription-drug intoxication that wassevere enough to result inpolice calling emergencymedical response.
Stevens’ trial, expectedto last about seven days, isset for Oct. 27, with a hear-ing on the motion tochange venue set for 1:30p.m. July 21. He has plednot guilty in the case.

Standing in an unfinishedroom with wires danglingabove him and sawdustblowing in the air, TwinFalls County CommissionerTerry Kramer pointedMonday to why a new wallhad to be moved.
“Those are some uglypipes,” Kramer said,describing what the wallwill cover. “That’s just anexample of what you findwhen you do these things.”
Commissioners saidMonday the remodelingproject of the courthouse ison schedule, and onMonday they approved thefirst payment toward thenearly $450,000 project.The $45,416 payment toDon Anderson Construc-tion, who’s overseeing theproject, was approvedunanimously by the com-missioners.
The project was initiallyestimated at around$380,000 but increasedbecause the architect, RussLively, didn’t include esti-mates for windows. (Lively’sfees are not included in theproject’s costs). The projectis to address current andfuture growth while pre-serving the historic feel of
the building.“It’s right on schedule.
We’ve found a few surprisesbut not a lot,” said Kramer.
Currently, the third flooris scheduled to be finishedby the end of August,and the fourth floor will beready by December. CountyProsecutor Grant Loebs,who will ultimately occupymost of the two floors sev-eral years from now, said heanticipates the project willfinish much earlier.
“It’s going to be veryfunctional. It’ll look nice,”Loebs said. “We’re trying todo it obviously to preservethe spirit of the way it was,and as much of the originalas possible but without,obviously, going to whatwould be a restoration kindof thing which would be notas functional and obviouslyway more expensive.”
The remodeling will likelylead the courthouse tobecome a building for thecounty’s law enforcementservices: offices overseen bySheriff Tom Carter on thefirst and second floors, andLoebs on the third andfourth floors. The assessor’soffice is already housed inthe downtown clinic for St.Luke’s Magic Valley justdown Shoshone Street.There’s no final decision
about the clerk or the treas-urer, but they are expectedto eventually move to theclinic, as will the commis-sioners.
On Monday, the commis-sioners also approved sever-al change orders, includingdoor purchases, realign-ment of some walls andaddressing asbestos in itsold conference room.
Among the changes:
•• The third floor confer-ence room is being gutted,its closets removed toexpose the windows. It willserve as the meeting area forgrand juries, and willinclude smaller meetingrooms and a witness protec-tion area.
•• The third-floor asses-sor’s office will becomeoffices for Loebs. There willbe a general conference
room and a case preparationroom.
•• This fall, the fourth floorwill be remodeled for thebulk of the 23-memberprosecutor’s office. But thatfloor currently houses thecommissioners, so as aresult, the third-floor roomseventually to be used for vic-tims’ coordination will serveas temporary offices for thecounty commissioners.
•• The commissioners willmove into the clinic, but notuntil at least 2011.
The building’s currentwindows are being replaced— the ’70s-era windows arehalf-blocked with wood —with full-size energy effi-cient windows that blockUV rays. Most of the roomswill have hardwood floorsinstead of carpet, to boostaesthetics and save moneyin the long-term. And mostof the original ceilings willbe opened to give an open,rustic look.
County CommissionChairman George Urie inMay voted against awardingthe contract to DonAnderson Constructionbecause he opposed remod-eling the fourth floor. Hesaid Monday he’s stillopposed to it.

Emotional service says goodbye to Michael JacksonBy Geoff Boucher and Cara Mia DiMassaLos Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — In theend, they brought MichaelJackson to the one placewhere his life always madesense — beneath a spotlightand in front of his adoringfans. In a gleaming gold cof-fin, the superstar was cele-brated in a Staples Centermemorial service that wasbeamed around the worldand, like the icon himself,strived mightily to be allthings to all people.
With family, celebritypeers, politicians, preachersand even professional ath-letes taking turns at themicrophone, the polishedbut emotional service wasmeant both as a farewell andas deeply sympathetic fram-ing of the star’s complicatedlegacy.
The Rev. Al Sharptonbrought the crowd of 17,000to their feet by drawing adirect cultural line between
Jackson’s incandescent1980s pop success and the2008 election of PresidentObama.
“Those young kids,’’Sharpton said of Jackson’smassive crossover audience,“grew up from being teenagecomfortable fans ofMichael’s to being 40 yearsold and being comfortable tovote for a president of colorto be the president of theUnited States of America.’’
Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee,D-Texas, praised Jackson as“a uniquely American hero,’’and music veteran SmokeyRobinson judged him to be,simply, “the greatest per-former of all time.’’
Sharpton and severalother speakers alluded tomedia persecution ofJackson, who died June 25 atage 50, but one speaker whohad known Jackson for morethan four decades suggested
that the reality is not thattidy.
“Sure there were some sadtimes and maybe somequestionable decisions onhis part, but Michael Jacksonaccomplished everything heever dreamed of,’’ said BerryGordy, the Motown Recordsmogul who signed Jackson tohis first record deal after anaudition in the summer of1968.
There were many memo-rable images, but in the yearsto come the signaturemoment may have been thepublic debut of sorts ofJackson’s 11-year-old daugh-ter Paris Michael KatherineJackson. Protected and, liter-ally, veiled for much of herlife, the youngster saidthrough tears:
“I just wanted to say, eversince I was born, Daddy hasbeen the best father you canimagine. I just wanted to say
I love him so much.’’The ceremony was by
turns somber, evangelical,thunderous and hushed.There was humor, as well.Former Los Angeles Lakersstar Magic Johnsonrecounted how his nervousfirst visit to Jackson’s man-sion ended with the pair sit-ting on the floor and feast-ing on Kentucky FriedChicken; Brooke Shields,who was an especially mov-ing speaker, told how sheused to tease Jackson about
his most famous fashionchoice.
“I’d tease him about theglove,’’Shields said,referringto the solitary silver glovethat became Jackson’s trade-mark. ” ‘What’s up with theglove?’ and ‘If you’re gonnahold my hand,it better be thenon-gloved one because thesequins hurt.’’’
Audience membersdanced along with somemusical performances andstifled tears at the many trib-utes to the singer.

“Ever since I was
born, Daddy has been
the best father you
could ever imagine.
And I just wanted to
say I love him —
so much.’’— Jackson’s daughter,
Paris-Michael, who
broke down in tears
“Michael, when you
left us, a part of me
went with you. ... I
will treasure the good
times, singing,
dancing, laughing. ...
We will never under-
stand what he
endured ... being
judged, ridiculed.
How much pain can
one take? Maybe, now,
Michael, they will
leave you alone.’’— Marlon Jackson, brother
“Michael always knew
he could count on me
to support him or be
his date. ... We had a
bond and maybe it
was because we both
understood what it
was like to be in the
spotlight from a very,
very young age. I used
to tease him and say, ‘I
started when I was 11
months old. You’re a
slacker. You were like
5?’ Both of us needed
to be adults very early,
but when we were
together, we were two
little kids having fun.
... M.J.’s laugh was the
sweetest and purest of
anyone I’ve known.’’— Brooke Shields
“He created a comfort
level, where people
that felt they were
separate became
interconnected with
his music. ... Those
young kids grew up ...
to vote for a person of
color to be the presi-
dent of the United
States of America.
Michael did that.
Michael made us love
each other.’’— The Rev. Al Sharpton
QUOTES Memorial puts Jackson’s kidsin the public eye for first timeBy Chris LeeLos Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Withall the mourning andmusic, celebrity perform-ers and soaring speechesby black leaders at StaplesCenter on Tuesday, it waseasy to overlook a quieterspectacle taking place.Michael Jackson’s memo-rial served as a grandunveiling for the singer’schildren.
While their father wasone of the most pho-tographed men in the lasthalf-century, his sonsPrince Michael Jackson II,7, and Michael JosephJackson Jr., 12, and daugh-ter Paris MichaelKatherine, 11, haveremained in the shadowsfor most of their younglives, surfacing only inpaparazzi photos anduntil recently, wearingfanciful masks wheneverthey were in public.
On Tuesday, however,the children arrivedbefore the eyes of theworld without disguises.They sat in the front rowthroughout the memorial,flanking their grand-mother KatherineJackson. At one point, theRev. Al Sharptonaddressed the childrendirectly from the stage,telling them their fatherwas an inspiration to theblack community.
“There wasn’t nothingstrange about your

daddy,’’ Sharpton said. “Butit was strange what he had todeal with. But he dealt withit anyway. He dealt with itfor us. Some came heretoday to say goodbye. I camehere to say thank you.’’
During a segment near thememorial’s conclusion inwhich the Jackson brothersdelivered their heartfelt rec-ollections of Michael, theyoung trio took center stagefor the first time. Paris couldbe seen maternally clutchingPrince Michael and clingingto her aunt, Janet Jackson.Dressed in a black suit,Michael Joseph seemed to beawed by the spotlight.
Then came an unscriptedmoment widely consideredto be the memorial’s emo-
tional high-point. Fightingback tears, Jackson’s daugh-ter came forward to deliverher own remarks.
“I just wanted to say, eversince I was born, Daddy hasbeen the best father youcould ever imagine,’’ Parissaid. “And I just wanted tosay I love him. So much.’’

Hu leaves G8 amidChinese rioting
URUMQI — ChinesePresident Hu Jintao cutshort his state visit to Italy,which included plans to par-ticipate in the G8 summit, toreturn to China onWednesday because ofprotests in Urumqi thatraised the specter of moreethnic violence.
Chinese state media saidHu left for home to addressthe unrest in northwesternChina’s Xinjiang provinceand would forgo the Groupof Eight summit this week inthe Italian city of L’Aquila.State councilor Dai Bingguowill attend the summit inHu’s place, the Xinhuaagency said.
Urumqi was under heavypolice guard three days afterdeadly clashes broke outbetween the predominantHan ethnic group andminority Uighurs that left156 dead and 1,000 injured.
Thousands of Chinesewielding sticks, clubs andknives marched Tuesdaytoward a Uighur enclavedemanding revenge. Manychanted “blood for blood”and sang the Chinesenational anthem.
“We heard the Uighurswere attacking Hans again,”said a man carrying a metalpipe. “We’re going to killthem.”
Thick formations of riotpolice rushed to the sceneand blocked the marchers ata major square to the south.Booms of tear gas could beheard firing in the distanceto hold off demonstratorswho had breached the firstline of riot police.
“Let the government takecare of this,” pleaded a localCommunist boss, Li Zhi,who stood on top of a policevehicle, shouting through abullhorn. When he suggest-ed that Han and Uighursneeded to co-exsist, thecrowd jeered him.

WASHINGTON — Chil-dren of U.S. military troopssought outpatient mentalhealth care 2 million timeslast year, double the numberat the start of the Iraq war,
and there was also an alarm-ing spike in the number ofmilitary kids actually hospi-talized for mental health rea-sons.
Internal Pentagon docu-ments show the increases,which come as the servicesstruggle with wars in Iraqand Afghanistan and ashortage of therapists.
From 2007 to 2008, some20 percent more children ofactive duty troops were hos-pitalized for mental healthservices, the documentsshow. Since the 2003 inva-sion of Iraq, inpatient visitsamong military childrenhave increased 50 percent.
The total number of out-patient mental health visitsfor children of men andwomen on active duty dou-bled from 1 million in 2003 to2 million in 2008. During thesame period, the yearly beddays for military children 14and under increased from35,000 to 55,000, the docu-ments show.

Hospitals set kidneytransplant record
BALTIMORE — It allstarted with a Virginia manwho offered his kidney to awoman from his church whoneeded one. They had nevermet, but Thomas F. Koontzthought the donation wouldbe a good way to give back toGod, whom he credited withsaving his teenage daughterfrom brain cancer.
The woman from churchended up finding a differentdonor. So Koontz calledJohns Hopkins Hospital. Heoffered his kidney to anyonewho needed it.
His selfless act started achain of events that wouldallow not just one person toget a desperately neededkidney, but eight.
Surgeons at JohnsHopkins on Tuesday held anews conference toannounce that they — alongwith doctors fromOklahoma City, St. Louisand Detroit — had complet-ed an eight-way, multi-hos-pital kidney transplant. Theswap required seven pairs ofpeople — each composed ofone person in need of a kid-ney and one willing todonate but whose blood ortissue type was incompati-ble with the intended recipi-ent. A computer program
helped devise a complicatedexchange that took placeover three weeks andinvolved several kidneysbeing flown around theUnited States.
At the end of the line wassomeone who did not have alive donor offering a kidney,a woman who received herkidney at Hopkins onMonday night. She was theultimate recipient ofKoontz’s largesse.
“At the end of the chain,that kidney still goes tosomeone in great need,” saidRobert Montgomery, theHopkins doctor who led thetransplant team. “But alongthe way, you’re able toaccomplish two, three, four,eight transplants.”

IIn 1978, Pocatello plumbing and heating con-tractor Bill Barlow became a hero of smallbusiness owners and free market advocatesnationwide when he demanded that aninspector for the federal Occupational Safety
and Health Administration produce a search warrantbefore he entered the premises.
Maybe it’s time for Ketchumbookseller Sarah Hedrick to getsome attention from the samequarter.
Hedrick, who operatesIconoclast Bookstore, hasn’tdone anything but run her busi-ness and pay her bills. She hadthe misfortune to have a busi-ness line of credit with FirstBank of Idaho when the FederalDeposit Insurance Corp. seizedFirst Bank in April.
The new owner, Minnesota-based US Bancorp, got a sweetdeal. It inherited, among otherthings, First Bank’s lucrativebranch bank in Jackson, Wyo.,and got to leave business bor-rowers such as Hedrick twistingin the wind.
Since then, Hedrick — andmany other Blaine Countybusiness owners — haven’tbeen able to get credit. Severalhave received letters from theFDIC threatening to close themdown.
That’s not right. These arenot deadbeats; they’re respon-sible people with the bad luck tohave done business with a bankthat failed.
The section of federal lawthat absolves banks which takeover other banks from responsibility for businessloans wasn’t intended to financially cripple entirecommunities. There’s no reason why a performingloan with First Bank can’t be a performing loan withsome other financial institution, but that’s not goinghappen without some direction from Congress andhelp from the Small Business Administration.
Local elected officials and the Idaho Departmentof Finance shouldn’t have to go hat in hand to thefinancial services industry to beg for charity forcommunities like Blaine County. Nor should SarahHedrick have to wonder every morning if there willbe an FDIC padlock on her front door.

IIs history ending yetagain?
Much as the hammersthat leveled the Berlin Wall in1989 marked the end of theCold War, so might theprotests rocking Iran signalthe death of radical Islam andits challenges to the West.
No, that doesn’t meanwe’ll be removing the metaldetectors from our airportsanytime soon. Al-Qaida andits ilk will retain the ability tostage terrorist strikes. But thedanger brought home onSept. 11, 2001, was alwaysgreater than the possibility ofmurderous attacks. It wasthe threat that a hostile ide-ology might come to domi-nate large swaths of theMuslim world.
Not all versions of this ide-ology are violent. But at thecore of even the peacefulones, such as that espousedby Egypt’s MuslimBrotherhood, is the idea thatthe Islamic world has beenvictimized by the West andmust defend itself. Evenbefore the United Statesinvaded Iraq, stoking rage,polls in Muslim countriesrevealed support for Osamabin Laden and for al-Qaida’saims, if not its methods. Ifsuch thinking were to tri-umph in major Muslim
countries beyond Iran violentextremists would commandvast new stores of personnel,explosives and funds.
This is precisely the night-mare scenario that is nowreceding. Even if the Iranianregime succeeds in sup-pressing the protests andimposes the reelection ofPresident MahmoudAhmadinejad by force of bul-lets, mass arrests and hiredthugs, it will have forfeited itslegitimacy.
“Even if they manage tohang on for a month or acouple of years, they’ve shedthe blood of their people,”says Egyptian columnistHisham Kassem. “It’s over.”
Election outcomes overthe past two years haveundone the momentum thatIslamists had achieved withtheir strong showing at thepolls in Egypt in 2005 andPalestine in 2006.
This countertrend beganin Morocco in 2007. TheJustice and DevelopmentParty, a moderate Islamistgroup, carried only 14 per-cent of the vote, finishingsecond to a conservativeparty aligned with the royalpalace. In municipal elec-tions earlier this month, thePJD’s vote sank to 7 percent.
The same year in Jordan,the Islamic Action Front wononly six of the 22 seats it con-tested in the parliamentaryvote — a precipitous dropfrom the 17 seats it had heldin the outgoing legislature.
In Pakistan last year, the
Islamists’ tally sank to 2 per-cent and six out of 270 elect-ed seats. Moreover, they wereturned out of power in theNorth West FrontierProvince, previously theirstronghold.
In April, IndonesianIslamist parties that hademerged four years earlier tocapture 39 percent of thevote lost ground in parlia-mentary elections this timearound, falling to below 30percent.
Then in May came parlia-mentary elections in Kuwait,where women had won theright to vote and hold officein 2005 but had never yetwon office. Even though theIslamic Salafi Alliance issueda fatwa against voting forfemale candidates, four cap-tured seats in parliament.Adding insult to injury forthe Islamists, their represen-tation fell from 21 seats to 11.
Finally, Lebanon held atense election in June thatmany expected would resultin the triumph of Hezbollahover the pro-Western March14 coalition. Instead, the lat-ter carried the popular vote.
What explains this broadreversal for the forces ofIslamic extremism?
Clearly, citizens inPakistan and Iraq wererepelled by the brutality ofthe radicals, as have beenmany in such other Muslimcountries that have suffereddomestic terrorism attacks.Nor has the Islamists’ per-formance in power in
Afghanistan, Sudan andGaza won any admiration.The Internet and other com-munications technology isentangling the younger gen-eration of Muslims morethoroughly with theirWestern counterparts thantheir elders, making appealsto turn away from the Westring hollow.
Others point to U.S. influ-ence. A minor debate hasemerged in Washington overwhether President George W.Bush’s tough policies bluntedthe force of the radicals, orwhether President Obama’sopen hand has assuagedanti-American anger. Bothmight be true. Or neither.
Until now, Iran has offeredthe only relatively successfulexample of Islamist rule, butthe bloody events there arestrengthening the momen-tum against radicalism andtheocracy in the Muslimworld.
The Egyptian intellectualSaad Edin Ibrahim notes thatIslamist parties are being“cut down to size,” and hehopes that they “evolve intoMuslim democratic partiesakin to the ChristianDemocrats in Europe.”
That would be a result theWest could live with.

Regatta dismisses manwith 33 years of service
I’m not even sure how tostart this letter. Everyonearound here knows aboutThe Idaho Regatta — (to myknowledge). It’s been goingon for 34 years now,including this year!
My dad has worked everyyear as one of the mainpeople at the front gatesdoing security — 33 yearsunder his belt, and thisyear, the RegattaCommittee decides he isn’t
needed. But do they con-tact him? No, they let gos-sip get around until I (hisoldest daughter) hear it andcall around trying to con-firm the rumors and getsome answers.
Thrity-three years, andthey don’t even have therespect to call him or evenmeet with him to explainwhat the deal was.
Every year he pulled his
camper and his fourwheelers down to the golfcourse. Every year, he leftit opened and stocked withmunchies and bottledwater for the parkingattendants, us two girls atthe front gate taking park-ing money, and the on-duty officer at night.Everyone was welcome tohelp themselves, and it wasnever expected or asked
that anyone bring food orwater to restock it.
Do we have the right tobe a little upset and feel likehe was disrespected? Imean, Come on, RegattaCommittee, 33 years —How many years can you allclaim?

Business that allowedslur should be named
OK, Times-News, if Mr.Lewis is too polite to men-tion what business in townallowed an employee to usea racial slur without havingto apologize (Letters, July 2),then you shouldn’t be.Where are some good oldinvestigative reporters whenyou need them?
Intolerance must bestopped. Period. I would notgo into a business where

Can Obama discover his inner LBJ?A
recent WashingtonPost headline blaredsome unhappy news
for the White House:“Obama Initiatives HitSpeed Bumps On CapitolHill.“
Moving from popularcampaign slogans like“change” to actual legisla-tion is difficult. At onelevel, Obama understandsthis. “We’ve got a muchlonger journey to travel,and this is when it getshard,” he recently told agroup of Democraticdonors at a fundraiser.
Hard, indeed. Congressopened the spigots of fed-eral spending, producing astring of early victories onissues like stimulus andchildren’s health insur-ance. But now the inclinegets steeper. CuttingMedicare, increasing ener-gy costs, choosing amongfinancial regulators meanscreating losers — andtougher votes for Congress
This next phase requiresmoving from happy talk tohard choices. It meanshorse-trading and deal-cutting, and saying “no.”Over the next severalweeks, circumstances will
test Obama’s legislativeprowess like never before.
The question is: Will hefind his inner LyndonJohnson? Will he reachdown Pennsylvania Avenue— like another former sen-ator who became president— and pull the levers ofpower like LBJ?
For many Americans thisupcoming chapter in theObama presidency alsopromises frustration andconfusion. Why is“change” taking so long?Why is it so hard? Manythought just voting forsomeone who promisedchange meant it wouldhappen.
Misconceptions aboutthe nature of presidentialpower are the main culpritshere. As political scientistCharles O. Jones writes inhis book “The Presidencyin a Separate System,”“The American presidency
carries a burden of loftyexpectations that are sim-ply not warranted by thepolitical or constitutionalbasis of the office.“
Keeping a promise tochange the health care sys-tem is different than takingthe First Lady out on a datein Paris. Congress is a co-equal branch of govern-ment with their own polit-ical goals and pledges tokeep.
Power sharing is a slow,arduous process of giveand take. “By intent,” Jonesexplains, “the U.S. govern-ment works within a set oflimits designed to preventit from working too well.“
It’s unclear if many ofObama’s supporters oreven the media completelyunderstand these nuances.And if the presidentbelieves a lot of his ownpress coverage, he may notfully grasp it either.
How will we know ifObama finds his inner LBJ?Here are four clues.
1. WWiillll hhee bbeenndd?? As aformer lawmaker, LBJknew instinctively thatCongress represents itsown constituencies. Andthese politicians are moremotivated to get reelectedthan to help the WhiteHouse. Sometimes theseinterests coincide. Butoften they don’t — andtherein lies the rub. Asmaller health care bill? Aless ambitious climatechange proposal? That’swhat it might take to win.
2. WWiillll hhee sshhaarree ccrreeddiitt??The president andCongress legislate togeth-er. The White House needsto acknowledge this realityand look for opportunitiesto highlight joint accom-plishments. If Obamaviews Congress only as atool to transact his agenda
— or worse, if legislatorsthink he sees Congressthat way — they will balk,and he will lose. KennethE. Collier, in his book,“Between the Branches,”notes LBJ’s skill in thisarea. He writes thatJohnson often reachedsenators before they evenleft a committee room tosay, “thank you” via aphone call.
3. DDooeess hhee ppllaayy ttoouugghh??We know he can. He’s fromChicago, after all. But theWhite House must treadcarefully in this power-sharing arrangement —particularly since the pres-ident’s party also runsCongress. He needs bal-ance. Use the tools of hisoffice — White Housemeetings, public state-ments admonishing law-makers for lack of action,promises to provide politi-cal support. Yet recognizethat pushing hard can spurboth action and animosity.Collier notes that Johnsontried aggressively to swayvotes, but never threat-ened. “I know you wantthis program for your stateand I want somethingtoo.“
4. HHooww ppeerrssoonnaallllyyiinnvvoollvveedd ddooeess hhee ggeett??Obama needs to direct thesausage-making factorywithout descending too farinto it. This means WhiteHouse meetings andmaybe even a few surprisevisits to Capitol Hill to“cut the final deal.” But heshould keep some distancetoo. If lawmakers get offtrack and produce some-thing politically unpopular,the White House canappear less connected.
Johnson understood thecontours of the legislativeprocess: compromise,credit sharing, hardballand personal involvement.He knew the buttons thatwould make lawmakers say“yes;” he could bridge theinternal cleavages withinhis own party; and he rec-ognized when to deal theminority in — and when toignore it.
These skills are a differ-ent set of tools than we’veseen used by this presidentthus far.

This next phase requires moving from happytalk to hard choices. It means horse-tradingand deal-cutting, and saying ‘no.’ Over thenext several weeks, circumstances will test
Obama’s legislative prowess like never before.
Why people — and economies — panicS
ince its earliest days,the United States hassuffered periodic
financial crises. The firstdates to 1792. In the 19thcentury, bank panicsoccurred regularly. Then, ofcourse, came the great stockmarket crash of 1929 and thefailure of two-fifths of thenation’s banks in the GreatDepression. Now we’re in themidst of another crisis. Itwould be reassuring to thinkthat the Obama administra-tion’s financial “reforms” —or, indeed, any conceivablealternative — would preventthese collapses for all time.Dream on.
Every financial crisis origi-nates in a failure of imagina-tion. It’s not that, before thecrisis, no one foresees prob-lems, “excesses” and losses.There are usually warnings.But what’s routinely over-looked are the fatal intercon-nections that transformproblems into panic. Peoplepanic because the future goesdark. They don’t know whatto expect, and so they expectthe worst. Markets cascadeuncontrollably downward.
The present crisis did notoccur merely because “sub-prime” mortgages experi-enced unexpectedly largelosses or even because manyof these loans were “securi-tized” in complex bonds,argues Yale economist GaryGorton. The crux of the mat-ter, he says, was the failure ofthe “repo” market. The termcomes from “repurchaseagreements” — short-termloans (usually overnight) thatrequire the borrower topledge collateral (usuallybonds) in return for cash; the
collateral is then “repur-chased” by repayment of theloan.
No one knows the size ofthe repo market; Gortonthinks perhaps $10 trillion atany moment. Banks reliedheavily on repo loans, whichwere routinely renewed. Butwhen doubts arose aboutbanks’ subprime securities,the repo market panicked.Loans vanished or becamecostlier. Deprived of credit,Bear Stearns and LehmanBrothers failed; other insti-tutions were vulnerable.Hardly anyone expected thepanic; once it happened,large — but bearable — lossesbecame a crisis.
In a crisis, government isthe last bulwark against acomplete financial collapse.That’s the main justificationfor regulation. Just becauseall crises can’t be preventeddoesn’t mean that somecan’t. Though complex, theObama plan would essential-ly broaden regulation in threeways.
First, it would empowerthe Federal Reserve to desig-nate some financial institu-tions (presumably, the likesof Citigroup and GoldmanSachs) as so important thattheir failure would “pose athreat to financial stability.”These institutions wouldface stiffer capital require-ments — capital being mainlyshareholders’ investment.
More capital would provide alarger buffer against lossesand a crisis.
Second, it would create aConsumer FinancialProtection Agency to policeunethical lending practicesand to ensure that loan doc-uments for mortgages, autoloans and other types of con-sumer credit are understand-able. (The Securities andExchange Commissionwould retain power overstock markets.)
Third, it would changesome rules of financial mar-kets. For example, financialfirms issuing securitizedbonds — bundles of mort-gages, auto loans and othercredits — would be requiredto hold 5 percent of thebonds themselves. By keep-ing some bonds, it’s argued,sellers would scrutinize theunderlying loans more care-fully.
Though these proposalssound sensible, they havepotential drawbacks.
Writing in The Wall StreetJournal, Peter Wallison of theAmerican EnterpriseInstitute argued that the verylargest financial institutionswould become the protectedand pampered wards of thestate. “Larger firms willsqueeze out smaller ones,” hesaid. Consumer regulationsounds great.
But if the protections arecumbersome and expensive,consumer credit will, para-doxically, become costlier.Lenders will compensate byraising interest rates or lend-ing only to the safest bor-rowers.
Up to a point, someretrenchment of the financial
sector is healthy.It absorbed too much of
America’s talent while pur-suing strategies that, withhindsight, misallocated thenation’s investment capital.But there are perils to over-regulation. It could dampenthe normal risk-takingrequired for solid economicexpansion.
However the debate con-cludes, regulation isn’t apanacea against future crises.The idea of “enlightened reg-ulators” who are vastly moreperceptive than the bankers,traders and money managersthey regulate is a fiction.Even in early 2007, when theproblems of subprime mort-gages had emerged, few reg-ulators or economists antici-pated a wider financial melt-down. They didn’t see theimpending chain reaction.The problem wasn’t a lack ofregulation; it was a lack ofimagination.
So the next crisis couldcome from anywhere — per-haps the follies of govern-ment, not finance. Betweennow and 2019, the U.S. fed-eral debt could rise $11 tril-lion, projects theCongressional Budget Office.American Treasury bondsare the bedrock of the globalfinancial system; they’reconsidered safe and reliable.What if a glut of bonds caus-es investors to lose faith?What are the implications?Good questions. The seeds ofthe next crisis almost cer-tainly won’t be found in thedebris of the last.

Storm damagescrops in SE Idaho
POCATELLO — Somefarmers in southeasternIdaho say hail damage andrecord rainfall damagedsome crops and couldreduce overall yield.
Todd Jensen, manager forWada Farms on the Fort HallReservation, says about2,000 acres of potatoes weredamaged when stormsdropped quarter-sized haillate last month. An addi-tional 1,000 acres sustainedhail damage at MichaudFalls in Power County onSaturday.
Jensen predicts somefields will see a 60 to 80 per-cent reduction in yields.That, in turn, could meanfewer harvest jobs this year.
Bill Bohl, an extensioneducator for the Universityof Idaho in BinghamCounty, says the wet weath-er means potato growerscould also see an increase indry rot, stem blackage andstem canker, as well as lateblight.
High court ordersnew trial for Latahmurder suspect
BOISE — The IdahoSupreme Court has ordereda new trial for a 26-year-oldartist sentenced to life inprison for killing a LatahCounty woman at her trailerhome in 2001.
In an opinion Tuesday,the court said David Meisterwas unfairly convicted ofmurder and conspiracy tocommit murder after thedistrict court applied thewrong standard whenexcluding another possiblesuspect’s confessions.
Court documents showthere were at least tworeports that another manconfessed to the shooting.
Tonya Hart was shottwice at point-blank rangeon the night of on Dec. 11,2001, when she opened theback door of her mobilehome north of Moscow. Shewas 21.
Meister initially toldpolice he had been paid$1,100 by Hart’s boyfriend,Jesse Linderman, to kill Hartbut then recanted and hassince maintained his inno-cence.
Conspiracy charges filedagainst Linderman weredropped for lack of evi-dence, court documentssaid.
Second District JudgeJohn Stegner sentencedMeister to life in prisonwithout parole for first-degree murder and another40 years for the conspiracycharge in 2003.
Stegner allowed the juryto hear the taped confes-sion, and he read extensivelyfrom a printed transcriptbefore sentencing Meister.
Meister testified at trialthat police coerced him intoconfessing by threateninghim with the death penalty.
He appealed his convic-tion and life sentence inSeptember 2003, accusingthe judge of committingnumerous errors in his case.His Moscow attorney, TomWhitney, asked the IdahoSupreme Court to reviewvirtually the entire case.
Whitney contendedStegner was wrong toimpose a sentence of lifewithout parole, and torefuse to hold a hearingabout purported evidencethat another person shotHart.
In an October 2007 opin-ion, the Idaho Court ofAppeals found the districtcourt had committed errors,but did not order a new trial.The Idaho Supreme Courtlater reviewed the case anddetermined Meister shouldhave been allowed to presentevidence that another manconfessed to the shooting.
Group ends Tamarackreceiver funding
BOISE — Credit SuisseGroup told a state judge it’sending funding for thecourt-appointed receiverrunning Tamarack Resort,meaning operational controlof the struggling centralIdaho real-estate develop-ment, ski area and golfcourse will revert to its own-ers Wednesday.
Jean-Pierre Boespflug, themajority owner, said
Tuesday he doesn’t plan toinject additional money andsays he now fears degrada-tion of facilities, if nobodyprovides new funding forpreservation efforts.
Boespflug says he’s stilloptimistic a new investorwill be found.
Douglas Wilson, the SanDiego, Calif.-based receiver,is also concerned about
Tamarack upkeep afterWednesday.
Wilson said following a4th District Court hearing inBoise, “We stretched thedollars as far as we couldresponsibly, but at thispoint, the tank is out of gas.”
Zurich-based CreditSuisse leads a lender grouptrying to recover a $250 mil-lion construction loan, plus
interest and penalties, fromTamarack.

DillCommonly used in dips and meat dishes.Change it up: Add some to skillet potatoes or frittata.
Top with hollandaise sauce and sour cream for a richtreat.
For a delish sandwich topper, mix dill with cannedtuna and mayo. The dill adds a nice flavor to the typicaltuna salad, Rast said.
MintCommonly used in teas and desserts.Change it up: Try Rast’s simple mint sauce. Cook half
a cup of vinegar and a fourth-cup of sugar until the sugaris dissolved. Add a half-cup of chopped mint leaves andlet sit for an hour. Serve over lamb and enjoy.
SavoryCommonly used with meat and potatoes.Change it up: Savory has a strong, peppery flavor, so be
careful what you add it to, Tanguy cautioned. Try it withsome vegetables or legumes.
RosemaryCommonly used with vegetables and in bread.Change it up: Use rosemary to infuse your honey, Rast
recommended. Warm the honey and put in fresh leaves.The more you put in, the stronger the flavor will be. Letit sit for 10 minutes, then strain out the leaves.
Cilantro Commonly used in salsas and other Mexican food.Change it up: Add fresh leaves to stir-fry at the last
minute. Don’t cook them too long, though, or the flavorwill be lost, Rast said.
OreganoCommonly used for any kind of Mediterranean or
Mexican cooking, as well as stews and vegetables.Change it up: Oregano is an all-purpose herb, Tanguy
said, so it’s hard to go wrong. It’s especially good in lay-ered dishes, he said. Start with rice, couscous or noodles,then layer with oregano-flavored sauces, veggies andmeat.
BasilCommonly used in Italian dishes — pasta, pesto,
pizza, you name it.Change it up: Add basil to your favorite fruity mixed
drinks, alcoholic or not. Muddle basil leaves with straw-berries and add to lemonade, or with grapefruit, pome-granate or pineapple for a killer cocktail.
ThymeCommonly used in chicken dishes.Change it up: Thyme’s flavor benefits from a long, slow
cooking process, Tanguy said. Add it to savory Dutchoven dishes.

MAGIC MARINADES
By Noelle CarterLos Angeles Times
Marinade: It’s one ofthose culinary terms thatevokes an aura of kitchenmystique, as if throwingtogether a bunch of liquids,flavorings, herbs and spiceswill magically transformmeat, fish or even vegetablesinto tender dishes burstingwith flavor. It sounds almostlike a kitchen spell — albeitwithout the dramatic incan-tations, or the smoke (bettersave that for the grill).
Unfortunately, in the realworld, marinades have theirlimitations. Contrary topopular belief, a marinadewill not tenderize a cut ofmeat. But that’s all right, itcan still impart great flavor.Essentially, a marinadefunctions as a “dressing’’for meat. Like a salad dress-ing, it’s typically composedof an acid (vinegar, citrusjuice or wine) and a little oil,with herbs and aromaticsadded to punch up the fla-vor.
And like a salad dressing,a marinade should bethought of as a seasoning.Most marinades have nei-ther the acidity needed northe time required to fully“tenderize’’ a piece of meat,denaturing the proteinbonds. (You probablywouldn’t want that anyway,because the meat wouldthen be soft and gummy,rather than truly tender.)
Furthermore, marinadeswill penetrate only the outerone-eighth to one-fourthinch of the surface of themeat. But that’s fine, too.Grilling almost always callsfor smaller pieces of meat,so you’ll still get some of themarinade’s flavor withalmost every bite.
In fact, if you’re makingmarinade for the first time,consider using salad dress-ing as an inspiration. For aflavorful Mediterraneanmarinade, combine equalparts balsamic vinegar witholive oil in a large bowl, thenwhisk in a little mustard.Taste, then maybe bump upthe acidity with some lemonjuice and zest, and whisk in alittle chopped rosemary andgarlic. If you want, add somechopped chives, capers andonion — they’re ingredientsyou might normally throwin a salad and will workwonders enriching a mari-nade.
Remember to balance fla-vors: You can’t just throwanything into a marinade, orinsert insane amounts of aspecial ingredient. Restraintis key: “More’’ almost neverequals “better’’ in thekitchen.
How long you marinatewill depend on the kind ofmeat you’re using. Keep inmind that because the mari-nade doesn’t penetrate verydeep, there’s not muchadvantage to a long soak.
Fish will marinate quickly.Figure a maximum of anhour or so for fillets or shell-fish, even less if the mari-nade is particularly acidic(you don’t want to wind upwith ceviche).
Chicken can marinate abit longer, as the tissue ismore dense than fish.Marinate skinless piecesgenerally for up to four to sixhours; skin-on pieces can gofor up to six hours or evenovernight. (Marinades havetrouble penetrating the fatin the skin, thus allowingmore time.)
Beef, lamb and pork typi-cally will take the longest:You can go six to eighthours, up to overnight forsteaks, chops and kebabs.
When marinating, be sureto use a nonreactive con-tainer, because the acids in amarinade will react withsome metals, such as alu-minum, imparting a metal-lic flavor to the meat.
Use glass, ceramic or
stainless steel.A large, sealable plastic
bag works especially well:Combine the meat andmarinade in the bag, thensqueeze out all the air beforesealing; all surfaces of themeat will be in constantcontact with the marinade,the bag will take up lessspace than a bowl or pan inthe fridge, and its use sim-plifies cleanup.
Once you’ve mastered abasic marinade, branch outwith additional flavoringsand aromatics. Draw fromregional cuisines for inspi-ration, or use flavorings orseasoning blends from vari-ous ethnic styles.
For a classic Caribbeanjerk marinade, combinerum, lime juice and zest,white vinegar and a neutraloil as a base. Layer the fla-vors by adding garlic, gingerand finely chopped scal-lions, then whisk in tradi-tional Caribbean season-ings: peppercorns, nutmeg,cinnamon, cloves and agood dash of allspice.
Sweeten the marinadewith a little muscovadosugar — this rich brownsugar will give the marinadenice molasses undertones,though you can substitutedark brown sugar in a pinch.Add just enough sweetener
to impart flavor, as too muchin the marinade might causethe chicken to burn as itgrills.
Finally, add some heat:Scotch bonnets are the clas-sic pepper in any “jerk’’preparation, althoughhabaneros will work fine,too. Carefully seed and stemthe peppers, then finelychop them and whisk intothe marinade, adjusting theheat to your liking. Keep inmind that the heat in thepeppers, much like acid, willopen the palate to the otherflavors in the final dish.
Or go for a Thai-inspiredcoconut marinade. Startwith a can of coconut milkand whisk in lime juice andzest for acidity. Layer theflavorings with bright notesfrom lemon grass, basil, gar-lic and cilantro. Add someginger, but grate it for thismarinade — grating the rootforces the ginger to expelmore juice, resulting inheightened flavor. Sweetenthe marinade with just atouch of brown sugar, andbalance the flavors with a
little sesame to lend nutti-ness and depth. Finally,chop a couple Thai chiles toadd some heat.
So who cares if marinadesdon’t actually make meatmore tender? If they canmake it taste wonderful,isn’t that enough?

The bean thread noodlesused here have no real fla-vor of their own but soakup other flavors.
This is a fairly mild-tast-ing dish; we’ve upped theonion quotient by usingspring onions instead ofscallions. A sprinkle ofcrushed red pepper flakesduring the stir-fry of themeat or a drizzle of hotsauce just before servingmay be to your liking.
Serve with a modestlypriced sauvignon blanc.

1/4 to 1/2 Napa cabbage(8 to 12 ounces total)

Meanwhile, trim the fatfrom the pork, then cut thepork chops in half horizon-tally.
Stack those halves, thencut the meat into 1/8-inchshreds. Place in a mediumbowl, then add the corn-starch, soy sauce and ricewine; stir to mix well andcoat the meat evenly.
Discard the outer layer ofthe onion, then cut thewhite and most of thegreen parts crosswise intothin slices.
Discard the core of thecabbage and any wiltedouter leaves, then cut thecabbage into 1 1/2- or 2-

Heat the oil in a wok orlarge cast-iron skillet overhigh heat. Add the slice ofginger; when it sizzles, addthe onion and stir-fry forabout 15 seconds.
Stir the pork mixture tomake sure it is evenly coat-ed, then add to the wok orskillet; stir-fry for 1 minute,then add the cabbage in 2 or3 additions and stir-fry forabout 2 minutes. (The porkmay not be cooked throughat this point.)

in over the next few weeksand shop again.
Since I will pay $3.99 forthe shampoo but willimmediately receive $3 backat checkout for use on afuture trip, the actual cost ofthe shampoo to me is just99 cents. The $3 I spent onthe shampoo comes rightback to me in the form ofstore credit — the checkoutcoupon.
Now, it’s always fun to getmoney back when you shop.But the wonderful thingabout loyalty programs isthat you can use coupons onthe items involved in thesepromotions. And, usingcoupons in conjunctionwith the loyalty savingsoften results in big savingsto you, the shopper.
With the shampoo exam-ple above, let’s add a couponinto the mix. For this brandof shampoo, I had a $2 man-ufacturer coupon. So, withthe coupon my $3.99 bottleof shampoo cost just $1.99. Ipaid $1.99 … and receivedthat $3 coupon for my nextshopping trip. This deal justbecame what I like to call a
“moneymaker!” When wefigure that $3 coupon intothe equation, I paid lessthan $2 for the shampoo andgot $3 back. The store paidme $1.01 to take that sham-poo home.
You may wonder howoften drugstores featureloyalty sales such as this.The answer? Almost everyweek! Check the fliers of thelarge drugstore chains inyour area and look for itemswith text near them indicat-ing that they will “pay youback” a certain dollaramount in coupons for pur-chasing the item. Thesekinds of payback deals arefrequent and plentiful.
So what kinds of items areincluded in these sales?Almost every kind of per-sonal care item you canimagine: toothpaste, tooth-
brushes, shampoo, condi-tioner, razors, shaving prod-ucts, makeup, even over-the-counter medicines arefeatured regularly.Household cleaners, airfresheners, laundry and dishdetergent are often includedin these sales, too. If you usecoupons in conjunctionwith the items involved, youcan often get the items inquestion for less than a dol-lar, and many times, com-pletely free. Better yet, thereare times when the store willbe “paying” you to takethings home. And any timethe store is paying me toshop, I’m smiling all the wayto the checkout lane!
Learn more aboutcouponing at Jill Cataldo’sWeb site, www.super-couponing.com.
WWhile it’s excit-ing to cut yourgrocery bill
significantly withcoupons, there are greatways to save on non-fooditems, too, especially per-sonal care and cleaningproducts. Many nationaldrugstore chains offerwhat the retail industryrefers to as “loyalty pro-grams” that often featurespecial deals on items inthese categories. Thesestore loyalty programsinclude coupons for storecredit that shoppersreceive when they pur-chase one or more of thepromoted products.
So how do these pro-motions work? Here’s anexample. In my drug-store’s weekly flier, thestore advertises that if Ibuy a certain brand ofshampoo for $3.99, I willget a $3 coupon at check-out. This coupon is goodfor a $3 reduction on anyproduct sold in the store.It’s almost like a gift card.I can use the $3 credit tobuy anything I want; it’snot tied to any specificitem. However, unlike agift card, these couponscarry an expiration date,just as a traditionalcoupon does. This is the“loyalty” part of the pro-gram. The drugstorewants you to come back

I N F O O D
By Laura VozzellaThe Baltimore Sun
Susan Hill dislikescilantro, and not just a little.
“I just hate it,’’ says Hill,36, an Annapolis, Md., stay-at-home mom. “Oh, I do.’’
The fresh herb Hill detestsis also known as corianderand Chinese parsley. It looksmuch like Italian flat-leafparsley. And good thing.Cilantro has so many ene-mies that it could use a cou-ple of aliases and a way topass for something else inthe herb garden.
Once an exotic flavor con-fined to Mexican, Asian andIndian cooking, cilantroturns up today even inwhite-bread Americanrestaurants. It has become socommonplace that it’s nolonger just a flavor but acolor; cilantro is a paint hueat Lowe’s, according toCindy Langone ofCatonsville, Md., who hadher bedroom done in it.
Many people love theherb. Just as many, it seems,hate it. There appears to beno middle ground, and thereason for that just mightcome down to genetics.Scientists have yet to isolatethe cilantro-hating gene,but a Philadelphiaresearcher who put twins upto sniffing the herb is hot onthe trail.
“The twin study we’vedone implicates genetics tobe involved,’’ said Charles J.Wysocki, a behavioral neu-roscientist at the MonellChemical Senses Centerwho, for what it’s worth, isnot a cilantro-hater.
“I love cilantro, but I alsolike the smell of skunk,’’ hesaid.
If human DNA really doesaccount for why some peo-ple think the herb has afresh, citrusy flavor and oth-ers think it tastes like soap,that could also explain theexistence of IHateCilantro.com and its ability to attract2,809 members, some ofwhom post haiku on the site.A sample:
Palmolive or JoyPour it all over your food
Thus is cilantroPassions run so high that
Hampden, Md.’s GoldenWest Cafe will happily holdthe cilantro meant for manyhouse specialties. This, in aplace with such a strict no-substitutions policy that itwon’t hold the chile sauce oreven serve it on the sidebecause it’s “essential to thedishes that include it.’’
“It’s definitely become aconcern,’’ said waiter ClarkRoss. “If people say, ‘Nocilantro,’ we take it very seri-ously. We treat it as if it werean allergy.’’
Customers who make thisrequest might have a geneti-cally based inability to smellcertain odors, which thebody interprets as flavorwhen food’s involved. Thecondition is called specificanosmia, and Wysocki’stwin study suggests it’s thekey to cilantro-bashing.
At an annual twins festivalin Twinsburg, Ohio, fiveyears ago, Wysocki had 41pairs of identical twins and12 pairs of fraternal twinstake whiffs of choppedcilantro and rate the scent on
a scale of minus 11 to plus 11.(Eleven? Like the amps in
“This Is Spinal Tap,’’ feelingsfor and against cilantroapparently crank past thestandard 10 mark.)
“A correlation can go fromzero to one,’’ he explained.“The identical twins corre-lated to 0.8, the fraternaltwins to 0.04.’’
That means the identicaltwins loved or loathedcilantro almost completelyin sync. Not so for the frater-nal twins, who share genesas any siblings do but aren’tcarbon copies of each other.
Wysocki theorizes thatsome people have a specificanosmia — a nasal blindspot, if you will — thatmakes them insensitive tocilantro’s pleasing, aromaticnotes. All they get is a soapy-smelling component that’snormally masked by thegood stuff.
If it’s all genetic, thosewho detect soap could neverhope to acquire the taste. Butcilantro can be an acquireddistaste, due not to geneticmakeup but culinary mal-practice.
“At first, yeah, I liked it. Igrew it,’’ said Nancy Carr,44, a Towson, Md., publicrelations consultant. “It waskind of fresh and different’’— especially for someonewho grew up in a householdwhere “herbs were salt andmargarine. Even groundpepper was a novelty.’’
Before long, the bloomwas off the sprig.
“Like many people, Iprobably overdosed oncilantro in the ‘90s,’’ shesaid. “It started appearingeverywhere, kind of like tar-ragon in the ‘80s. The ‘80scompletely turned me offtarragon. I liked it in 1981and by 1989, I was done withit. Now I can’t even put tar-ragon in my herb garden.’’
Likewise, she’s rootedcilantro out of her life.
Epicures exist on bothsides of the divide. Whilemany chefs celebrate it, noless a foodie than Julia Childtold Larry King in 2002 thatshe thought cilantro (andarugula for that matter) had“kind of a dead taste.’’
The two herbs, she said,were the only foods shehated. Were she servedeither one, Child said, “Iwould pick it out if I saw itand throw it on the floor.’’

Growth to payfor growth
By Joshua PalmerTimes-News writer
The Idaho Public UtilitiesCommission adopted anIdaho Power Co. request onTuesday to require develop-ers and builders to pay moreof the costs associated withinstalling electrical equip-ment in new developments.
The modifications to the“Rule H Tariff” were madein an attempt by the compa-ny and the commission torequire growth to pay foritself by shifting more of theinstallation costs from thegeneral body of ratepayers tonew customers requestingconstruction for the servic-es.
The Building ContractorsAssociation of South-western Idaho opposed the
application, saying thatincreased costs are a resultof inflation rather thatgrowth.
Building Contractors alsoargued that the added costsfor developers will drive upthe cost of new homes in analready sagging economy.
On Nov. 1, 2009, develop-ers of subdivisions andapartment complexes willreceive a $1,780 allowancefor each single-phase trans-former installed within adevelopment and a $3,803allowance for each three-phase transformer.
Commissionadopts changes tocost allocations fornew development

A group of prominentbusiness owners in TwinFalls are launching a newbistro that will appeal to theafter-business crowd andthose who are looking forrespite from the daily grind.
But don’t be mistaken.The Anchor Bistro & Bar,which is located at 334 BlueLakes Blvd. N., in TwinFalls, will not be your aver-age sports bar.
The bistro will serveappetizers such as marinat-ed muscles, island fusionfoods and other menu itemsoften referred to as tapas —unique appetizers that aremade fresh.
The interior and exteriorof the old Skipper’s buildingwas gutted to make way fora casual, relaxing atmos-phere that includes fire pitsand an outdoor dining arealined with tiki torches.
The Maloneys andObenchains purchased thebuilding earlier this year.
“We’re trying to hit aniche market,” said MarkMakin, the bistro’s execu-tive chef and general man-ager. “We want to get theafter-hours crowd of peoplejust getting off work.”
However, he added thatthe bar’s happy hour willbegin at 3 p.m. to attractother customers looking torelax during the grind.
The bar and bistro is co-owned by Bob and JanellMaloney, who ownPomerelle Portrait DesignStudios, as well as Tim andShawna Obenchain, ownersof Obenchain Insurance.
“We got the idea aftervisiting places we havetraveled to,” said BobMaloney. “We do a lot oftraveling, and we enjoyedthese places, so we thoughtwe would do somethinglocal.”

Karma FitzgeraldTimes-News correspondent
SHOSHONE — It all start-ed at a good ol’ fashionedquilting bee.
A group of friends startedbrainstorming about sellingthe handmade items onwhich they were working.What would happen if theysupported each other by pay-ing a neighbor to make a babyquilt or maybe taught eachother how to make a purse?What if they traded freshlygrown produce from the gar-den or baked goods?

Real estate investment trusts enjoyed their best
quarter ever from April through June. The index
that tracks REITs rose 29 percent, the most in
its 20-year history. But anybody tempted by that
big gain should note how far REITs fell before
shooting skyward. REITs also rose for the same
reason stocks and corporate bonds rose in the
quarter: they’d become so cheap, that the risks
didn’t seem daunting. But rising vacancy rates
and falling rents are still problems and so is
the likelihood that many building owners will
be unable to refinance debt. And those troubles
will haunt REITs long after the euphoria fades.

$5M infusion aids firm eyeingpolysilicon plant in PocatelloThe Associated Press
BOISE — Hoku ScientificInc., which aims to open a newplant in Pocatello to make poly-silicon panels for producingsolar energy, said it has receivedan infusion of $5 million from aChinese customer.
The cash is expected to helpstave off financial woes thatcould have threatened to putHoku out of business.
Hoku Chief Executive OfficerDustin Shindo said the earlypayment from Tianwei NewEnergy Holdings Co. for twopolysilicon supply contracts willbolster cash flow just as othercustomers are seeking to delaypayments.
As part of this pact, Kapolei,Hawaii-based Hoku was forced
to cut its prices by 8 percent,meaning the 10-year value of itscontracts with Tianwei slippedto $468 million from $511 mil-lion.
Still, Shindo said bringing inmore cash now — as well as thedelay of some early shipments— will be helpful as Hoku seeksmore money to finish thePocatello plant.
Hoku’s problems illustratethat even as the United Statesturns its focus to alternativeenergy, some companies in theindustry are struggling to stayafloat as financing slows to arecession-induced trickle.
Many are pinning hopes onprovisions in the federal stimu-lus plan that offer tax credits,loan guarantees and otherincentives to help bail out the
industry in coming months.Shindo didn’t immediately
return a phone call Tuesdayfrom The Associated Pressseeking comment.
Hoku, which in last two yearshas posted more than $7 millionin net losses, has said it stillneeds to secure about $106 mil-lion to cover the total $390 mil-lion cost of the Pocatello plant,after financing sources dried up.
It said in June it may not havesufficient cash to complete theplant — or stay in business overthe next 12 months.
The Pocatello plant had beenprojected to add about 200 jobsto the region by mid-2010,something local and state lead-ers have been counting on tohelp revive Idaho’s sputteringeconomy.
“It’s going to be a lot of local stuff,not what you would throw in a deep fryer.”

The amount of the allowance will be recov-ered through customer rates. The commissionsays developers will be responsible for any costsabove those amounts.
As part of the changes, the commission endedrefunds to developers for their initial investmentto extend electric services to undeveloped lots.In the past, as customers moved on to the lotsand began receiving electric service, developersgot an $800 per lot refund.
Idaho Power asked that the time allowed fordevelopers to sell the lots and qualify for therefund be shortened to four years from the cur-rent five years, but contractors said the refundperiod should be extended to 10 years due to theslowing economy.
The commission opted to leave the refundperiod at five years.
Idaho Power also asked that the rule moreclearly explain who pays when local govern-ments require Idaho Power to relocate distribu-tion facilities on public right-of-way due toroadway expansion.
Idaho Power pays for the relocation when it isbeing required by a governmental agency suchas the state Department of Transportation orcounty or city highway departments for a publicbenefit.
Idaho Power said there have been occasionswhere public road agencies requested relocationon behalf of new developments and expectedIdaho Power to pay for the relocation.
The company, and the commission agreed,that when government orders relocation for thebenefit of a private development, the developershould pay for the relocation.
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9 to5. While much of the local produce is still in thegarden, the stores features herbs, lettuce, locallygrown lamb and sheep’s milk cheese as well ashomemade quilts, wooden stools, clothing, andfreshly baked breads and desserts. All producedand grown by the original group of quilters alongwith a few more neighbors and friends.
On Wednesdays, neighbors often gather inanother section of Hubbs store called BackPorch Fabrics. Some weeks feature sewing andquilting classes while other s offer the opportu-nity to work on crafting and sewing projectswhile visiting with friends and neighbors.
“It’s really like a traditional sewing bee,”Hubbs said. “We help each other with projects,certainly. But more importantly, we’ve becomegood friends and met people we wouldn’t haveknown otherwise.”
It was on a recent Wednesday when the groupdecided they wanted an outlet for garden extrasand sewn projects without a home.
“At first, we thought about joining a localfarmers market,” said Tammy Corrigan. “Butthen, we thought, ‘Why stop there?’ We haveproducts we sell year round, more than one daya week.”
The store is a little off the beaten path, butHubbs thinks shoppers will find the uniquestore worth the effort.
“You’ll find things in our little store you won’tfind anywhere else. Plus, you’ll find gifts,sewing notions and fabrics you’d have to drive alot farther to buy. Watch for signs or just call fordirections,” Hubbs said.
But putting the menu togethertook a little custom work with alot of local producers.
Maloney said the bistro isworking with the Twin Falls-based Independent MeatCompany to provide specialty cutpork products for its menu. Healso said that it is working with afarmer in Buhl to provide locallygrown produce.
“It’s going to be a lot of local
stuff, not what you would throwin a deep fryer,” Maloney said.
Makin said the bar and bistrowill employ between 25 and 30servers, cooks and other person-nel — he said the hiring processshould be completed this week.
The Anchor Bistro and Bar willopen at a time when other restau-rants are reeling under the pres-sure of a dour economy. However,Makin said the business willthrive because of its unique
menu, visible location and anatmosphere like no other in TwinFalls.
“Obviously we wouldn’t havedone this if we didn’t think wehad a shot,” he said.
The bistro and bar will open inlate July with business hoursranging from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Hatch calls for Justice investigation into BCSBy Frederic J. FrommerAssociated Press writer
WASHINGTON — Utah Sen.Orrin Hatch urged the JusticeDepartment on Tuesday to inves-tigate college football’s BowlChampionship Series for what heviews as violations of antitrustlaws.
Hatch made the comment afterconducting a standing-room-onlyhearing in the Senate subcommit-tee with antitrust oversight, where
he serves as the top Republican.“Frankly, there’s an arrogance
about the BCS that just drives menuts,” he told reporters.“Hopefullythis hearing will open the door tohave some people reconsider theirpositions. And if nothing else, theJustice Department ought to belooking at this.” He said that it’sclear to him that the BCS is in vio-lation of antitrust laws.
Justice Department spokes-woman Gina Talamona said:“We’re aware of his request and
will respond as appropriate.”Hatch said that the BCS is
exploiting a position of power,“and it’s just not right.”
Hatch’s comments followed upon testimony by a lawyer for theMountain West Conference, whichdoes not get an automatic bid andhas pressed for changes to the BCS.Utah, which is in the MountainWest, was bypassed for last year’snational championship despitegoing undefeated in the regularseason. The title game pitted
Florida against Oklahoma — eachwith one loss.
The lawyer, Barry Brett, calledthe BCS “a naked restraintimposed by a self-appointed car-tel” in written testimony, and saidthat a Justice Department investi-gation would serve the publicinterest.
Under the BCS, some confer-ences get automatic bids to partic-ipate while others don’t, and theautomatic bid conferences also getfar more of the revenue than the
other conferences. Hatch andother BCS critics view that as anti-competitive behavior, while theBCS says it simply recognizes theteams people want to watch.
“I don’t think it’s arrogant ifyou’ve thought about somethingfor five or six years, and concludedthat’s it’s really hard to do some-thing different,” said HarveyPerlman, chancellor of theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln

Armstrong within split second of lead at TourBy Jamey KeatenAssociated Press writer
MONTPELLIER, France —Calling his team “simply awe-some,” Lance Armstrong wasnearly decked out in yellow again.
The seven-time championsurged from third place to secondat the Tour de France on Tuesdayafter his Astana squad won a teamtime trial in a dramatic finish.
Armstrong erased all but a sliverof his 40-second deficit to leaderFabian Cancellara of Switzerlandin the fourth stage. The only thingseparating him from the yellowjersey now is a fraction of a second.
“Boo-YA!!!” Armstrong wroteon Twitter. “Well, what can I say?The team was simply awesometoday. Consistent, fluid, mistake-
free. We love this event ... and arestoked to win.”
The performance was reminis-cent of Armstrong’s dominance inthe team time trial for the last threeyears of his string of victories from1999 to 2005. This is his comebackyear at the Tour after 3½ years ofretirement.
The 37-year-old Texan plottedstrategy with star teammateAlberto Contador before the stageto weed out potential rivals.
Astana was timed in 46 minutes,29 seconds for the 24.2-mile ride inand around Montpellier. That was18 seconds better than -upGarmin, with Saxo Bank third, 40seconds back.
Armstrong entered the day 40seconds behind Cancellara of SaxoBank, meaning ownership of the
yellow jersey came down to splitseconds.
At the last intermediate timecheck (19 miles), Astana was 41seconds faster than Saxo, puttingArmstrong in the lead at that pointand setting up the tense finale.
Armstrong and Cancellara sharean overall time of 10 hours, 38 min-utes, 7 seconds, although the Swissrider was deemed a fraction ahead.Organizers examined Saturday’sopening time trial in Monaco thatwas won by Cancellara. Thoseresults were calculated to thethousandth of a second.
“That’s Swiss timing,”Cancellara said, laughing. “Time ison my side.”

Lack of motiveslows ruling onMcNair girlfriendBy Travis LollerAssociated Press writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —Tennessee’s state medicalexaminer said Tuesday thatinvestigators have beenhesitant to conclude thatSteve McNair’s girlfriendkilled the NFL star and her-self because she didn’tappear to have a motive, butthat murder-suicide is themost likely scenario.
After the couple was dis-covered shot to death onSaturday, police were quickto label McNair’s death ahomicide. He had been shottwice in the head and twicein the chest, while 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi was deadfrom a single gunshot to thehead. Under her body was agun she had purchased lessthan two days before thekillings.
Investigators were wait-ing on ballistics tests on theweapon before issuing aruling on Kazemi’s death,which medical examinerBruce Levy said could comein the next few days.Kazemi’s gun purchase,which was revealed onMonday, is a strong indica-tion that she was responsi-ble, he said.
“If we had known onSunday about the gun Ithink we would have beenvery comfortable in rulingmurder-suicide,” he said.“I’ll be very surprised nowif they rule it isn’t.”
Levy said an apparentlack of motive by Kazemihas made investigatorscareful about exploringevery possibility, includingthe unlikely scenario that athird party could havestaged the scene. Theirrelationship lacked typicalindicators of trouble —such as concerned familymembers or police reportsand protection orders.
“The thing we alwayshear is, ‘We should haveseen this coming,’” he said.
But Kazemi’s family hassaid she was very happy.
“She just had it made,you know, (with) this guytaking care of everything,”Kazemi’s nephew FarzinAbdi said on Monday.
Levy said the 36-year-
old McNair was shot ineach temple and twice inthe chest. Three of theshots were taken from adistance, but one of theshots to the temple camefrom just inches away.
The gun that killedKazemi was in contact withher head when it dis-charged, he said.
Police spokesman DonAaron said Monday McNairwasn’t with Kazemi whenshe bought the semiauto-matic pistol that was foundat the scene. Police havedeclined to release the cal-iber of the gun or the nameof the person who sold it toher.
Aaron said the case maynot be as neatly resolved aspeople would like.
“It may be we’ll neverknow exactly why this hap-pened,” he said.
Much of what’s knownpublicly about the affaircomes from what Kazemitold her family: She waspreparing to move in withMcNair and believed he wasgoing to divorce his wife,though no court records ofdivorce proceedings havesurfaced.
Then early Thursday,
“If we had known
on Sunday about
the gun I think we
would have been
very comfortable
in ruling murder-
suicide. I’ll be very
surprised now if
they rule it isn’t.”— medical examiner

Jerome’s D.J. Worthington tries to turn a double play after getting Minico base runner Chris Joyce out at second base during the first game of
an American Legion Baseball doubleheader Tuesday in Rupert.
Consistent Cyclones
Jerome bats outlast Minico on the roadBy Ryan HoweTimes-News writer
RUPERT — Barak Frank’stwo-run homer in the bot-tom of the fourth pulledMinico within two runs andseemed to be the momen-tum-changing play theSpartans needed to spark acomeback in the first game ofTuesday’s American LegionBaseball Class AA double-header with Jerome.
Jasper Peterson made surethat didn’t happen.
As the Cyclones’ leadoffman in the top of the fifth,Peterson responded with asolo shot to boost Jerome’slead to 10-7 and keep themomentum in the visitors’dugout.
Jerome went on to winGame 1, 13-11.
“I knew that they’d havemomentum coming from(Frank’s home run), so Iwanted to come out and think
to myself ‘fast hands,’” saidPeterson, who batted 3-for-4. “I got around on the balland answered right back. Iwas just looking to hit the ballhard in the gap and it just car-ried.”
Jerome had a big firstinning off Minico starterCasey Christiansen, scoringfive runs on five hits and twoMinico errors. The Cyclonesconsistently tacked on runsin all but one inning the restof the way to keep Minico atarm’s length.
“That first inning was bigbecause Christiansen is a realgood pitcher and we wantedto come right out of the gatesand get him off the mound asquick as possible,” Petersonsaid.
Besides the home run toFrank, Jerome reliever NolanStouder shut Minico down inthe middle innings. Stouderallowed three earned runs onthree hits with three strike-
outs and two walks in 4 2-3innings of work. He also hadfour RBIs at the plate.
“My mentality was tothrow strikes, let them hit itand hopefully my defensecould field it, and that’s whatthey did,” Stouder said.
It also helped that Jeromealready had an 8-3 lead whenStouder took the mound inthe second.
“We haven’t done that allyear. That’s the first time allyear we’ve really come outaggressive and put runs onthe board right away to helpout our pitchers,” Stoudersaid.
Cameron Stauffer went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and alsostole home for Jerome, whichwon despite committingseven errors.
Frank went 2-for-5 andNick Salvi was 2-for-4 with adouble and an RBI for Minico,which made the final scorecloser with a two-out, four-
run rally in the bottom of theseventh.
“You could tell it was goingto be a game where peoplewere going to score runs andyou just try to find a pitcherwho can shut down anoffense for two or threeinnings, and (Jerome) did,”said Minico coach Ben Frank.“(Stouder) didn’t have hisgreatest stuff, but he shut usdown. They capitalized whenthey had opportunities andwe didn’t.”
Minico plays a double-header today at Pocatello,while Jerome travels to WallaWalla for a tournamentbeginning Thursday.

Source: Pistons & John Kuester nearing a dealDETROIT — The Detroit Pistons
are close to ending their search for anew boss on the bench.
The Pistons and John Kuesterwere nearing an agreement Tuesdaynight to make him their coach, aperson familiar with the negotia-tions told The Associated Press.
The person, who spoke on thecondition of anonymity because thedeal was not done, said the contractcould be completed as soon asWednesday.
Kuester spent the past two sea-sons as a Cleveland Cavaliers assis-tant and was on Larry Brown’schampionship-winning staff in2004 with the Pistons.
He was also an NBA assistant inOrlando, Philadelphia — underBrown — New Jersey and Boston.The North Carolina graduate was ahead coach at George Washington
from 1985-90.“Nice man, don’t know much
about him as a coach,” TNT analystDoug Collins wrote in a text mes-sage to the AP. “Really qualityguy/gentleman.”
The Pistons spoke with AveryJohnson about replacing MichaelCurry, but talks with the formerDallas Mavericks coach endedTuesday.
Detroit also was consideringbringing back Collins, a formerPistons coach, but he withdrew hisname from consideration last weekshortly after Curry was fired.Boston Celtics assistant TomThibodeau was also a candidate.
The Pistons are clearly in arebuilding mode, revamping theirteam from a veteran-laden one to afranchise counting on players intheir mid-20s.

HAWKS REACH AGREEMENT WITH BIBBYATLANTA — The Atlanta Hawks
have reached an agreement to re-sign Mike Bibby to a three-yeardeal.
Bibby’s agent, David Falk, saidTuesday he has reached an “oralunderstanding” that will allow theHawks to retain the point guardwho has led the team to two
straight playoff appearances.“We’ve reached an agreement in
principle that hopefully will beannounced very soon,” Falk said.
Bibby was an unrestricted freeagent. Wednesday is the first dayNBA free agents are allowed to signcontracts.
Hawks general manager RickSund said Tuesday he could notcomment on the status of the talkswith Bibby.
Falk said the agreement is a goodfit for both parties. Falk said the 31-year-old Bibby has enjoyed histime with Atlanta coach MikeWoodson, who has leaned on the11-year veteran to lead a youngteam.
Bibby averaged 14.9 points and5.0 assists per game last season asthe Hawks won 47 games andadvanced to the second round of
the playoffs.

and the new chairman of theBCS Presidential OversightCommittee.
As to a possible antitrustchallenge, Perlman said: “It’shard to see why anyonewould litigate this.”
“We are university presi-dents, and we are sensitive towhat Congress thinks, andsensitive about what thepresident thinks,” Perlmanadded, referring to PresidentBarack Obama’s stated pref-erence for a playoff system.“But our primary responsi-bility is to manage our insti-tutions in ways that protectstudent athletes, thatacknowledges their academ-ic pursuits as well as theirathletic pursuits.”
The current system fea-tures a championship gamebetween the two top teams inthe BCS standings, based ontwo polls and six computerrankings.
“Championships shouldbe decided by competition,not by conspiracy,” said UtahPresident Michael Young.
In his own testimony,Perlman prefaced a com-ment by saying he didn’twant to sound disrespectfulto Utah.
“And you don’t want to be
in this room,” Hatch quippedto laugher.
Perlman conceded thatsome teams, because of fac-tors such as history or repu-tation, have a better chanceto play in the national cham-pionship than others.
“The problem is that wedon’t all play each other, andthere’s no conceivable way”for that to happen, he said.
It was the second congres-sional hearing on the BCSthis year, following one in theHouse two months ago. Atthat hearing,Rep.Joe Barton,R-Texas, warned the BCS toswitch to a playoff system. Ifnot, he said, Congress wouldmove on his bill that wouldprevent the NCAA from call-ing a game a national cham-pionship unless it’s the out-come of a playoff.
Although Tuesday’s hear-ing attracted quite a fewspectators, senators mostlystayed away. Sen. Herb Kohl,a Wisconsin Democrat whochairs the JudiciaryCommittee’s subcommitteeon antitrust, competitionpolicy and consumer rights,left a few minutes after start-ing the hearing. New YorkDemocratic Sen. ChuckSchumer briefly popped in,but didn’t ask any questions.
Kazemi was arrested for DUIwhile driving a CadillacEscalade that was registeredin both of their names.McNair was with her butwasn’t charged, and policeallowed him to leave thescene.He later bailed her out.
That night, Kazemi wentalone to buy the handgun.
On Friday night and earlySaturday morning, McNair
was seen with friends in twoNashville bars. A witnesssaid McNair arrived at a con-dominium he leased some-time between 1:30 and 2 a.m.Kazemi’s car was alreadythere.
The couple had been deadfor hours when McNair’sfriend Wayne Neeley, wholeased the condo with him,found the bodies at around1 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
disappointment” on FrenchTV about not capturing theyellow shirt he has worn manytimes, Armstrong put his ridein perspective.
“That’s the way it is.We didour best,” he said. “At onepoint, we thought we had it,but if I look back on our per-formance ...we were as soundas we could be.”
“I have no regrets. I don’tlook at that and lose sleep orget disappointed,” he said at anews conference. “This is along race, maybe there’s one(yellow jersey) in my future.”
The potential rivalrybetween Armstrong andContador, the Spaniard whowon the 2007 Tour, hasbecome a major subtext to therace.
They shelved any suchrivalry Tuesday. Armstrongsaid he appealed to Contadorbefore the race to worktogether to distance othercontenders.
“My point was to Alberto,‘Look, let’s ride perfect, andmake this race almost impos-sible to win for others,”‘ hesaid. “And I think we can saythat we accomplished that.”
Astana dealt a blow to sev-eral title hopefuls. Defendingchampion Carlos Sastre ofSpain is 2:44 back; two-timerunner-up Cadel Evans ofAustralia is 2:59 behind; andGiro d’Italian champ DenisMenchov of Russia is 3:52back.
“I think today, the Tour deFrance is finished for someriders — and we won’t go intonames — but that’s the waythat the TTT works now,”
Armstrong said, referring tothe team time trial. “With nodisrespect, it’s difficult tomake up that time.”
After Cancellara, the nextfour riders are from Astana:Armstrong, with the sametime; Contador, 19 secondsback in third; 2004 runner-upAndreas Kloeden of Germanywas fourth, 23 seconds back;and Levi Leipheimer of theUnited States was fifth, 31seconds behind.
The teams set off one byone at seven-minute intervalsin a race against the clock.Thestage through sun-bakedroads of Montpellier, near theMediterranean, is among theflattest this year.
Cyclists try to ride singlefile to reduce wind drag andtake turns in the lead to maxi-mize efficiency and conserveenergy. The first five ridersrecord the same times, whilelaggards get individual times.All teams had nine ridersexcept Quick Step; one mem-ber of the Belgian squad quitthe race after a crash in Stage2.
Armstrong said the manytight turns made for “tricky”riding. Three crashes marredthe stage start — includingone involving Menchov.
The question now iswhether Armstrong’s legs cankeep up when the three-weekrace on Friday heads towardthree days in the Pyreneesafter two mostly flat stages.
That’s when theArmstrong-Contador rivalrycould emerge. They are bothfar better climbers thanCancellara, one of the world’sbest time trial riders.

MINNEAPOLIS — Yahoo Inc. and theNFL Players Association have reached a set-tlement over the use of players’ statistics,photos and other data in Yahoo’s popularonline fantasy football game, but detailswere not released Tuesday.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Yahoo sued theNFLPA last month in U.S. District Court inMinnesota, claiming Yahoo shouldn’t haveto pay royalties to use the data because theinformation is already publicly available.
Yahoo dropped the lawsuit Monday, and ajudge formally dismissed it Tuesday withoutprejudice, which leaves open the possibilityof bringing it up again. Officials from bothparties said a settlement was reached.
Yahoo Sports spokeswoman NicolAddison said the company doesn’t discusslitigation and she wouldn’t disclose details.
Andrew Feffer, the union’s chief operatingofficer and executive vice president, alsoconfirmed the settlement, adding thatNFLPA and Yahoo “continue to exploreadditional opportunities to work together.”He did not elaborate.
N A S C A RWaltrip to scale back tomake room for Truex
CORNELIUS, N.C. — Two-time Daytona500 winner Michael Waltrip will scale backto a partial schedule to make room forMartin Truex Jr. to join the team in 2010.
Truex will leave Earnhardt-GanassiRacing at the end of the year to drive the No.56 Toyota, which he drove into the MichaelWaltrip Racing shop Tuesday to announcehis hiring. Truex received a thunderous ova-
tion from the MWR employees on the shopfloor, as well as about 100 fans Waltripallowed to watch the announcement from anoverhead balcony.
“Welcome aboard, brother,” Waltrip toldhis new hire.
Waltrip will keep his No. 55, but run a par-tial schedule. He said he’d race in at leastfour races — maybe as many as 12 — andlongtime sponsor NAPA was committed tosponsoring him in next season’s Daytona500.
NAPA will be Truex’s primary sponsor,and the auto parts distributor is already sup-porting Ryan Truex, his younger brother,who signed earlier this year as a develop-ment driver for Waltrip.
