WASHINGTON — One of President Barack Obama’s top economic advisers forecast Sunday a difficult struggle with Congress over Senate cuts of $40 billion for state and local govern-ments from the administration’s massive spend-ing and tax cut package to stimulate the failing economy.

The $827 billion Senate version of the plan — designed to bring the economy out of the worst downward spiral since the Great Depression — was

In his first couple of weeks at the Capitol, Roland Williams, 61, has been mistaken for a Utah Repre-sentative and a new

Senator.When it happens, he laughs,

flattered at the thought, but then introduces himself as “Roland Williams, the world’s oldest intern.”

Williams retired in 2006 after 32 years of teaching history and government at Mountain View High School and Timpanogos High School. After campaigning this sum-mer and fall for Represen-tative Stephen Sandstrom, Williams was asked to be his intern.

“It has really been a treat,” said Williams, who lives in Sandstrom’s district in Orem.

Most of the interns are Uni-versity of Utah or Brigham Young University students,

studying pre-law or political science who get paid and uni-versity credit for their work. Not Williams. The time he puts in at the Capitol is all pro bono.

Williams is the oldest intern this year by many years and he thinks he might be the oldest ever. He admits to be-ing a little slower and not as versed in the technology as the others, but his spirit far out-weighs his shortcomings.

“I just really like being here and seeing how it all works,” he said.

Even after teaching the topic for three decades and a master’s degree in history, Williams has learned so much in his first two weeks at the legislature.

“I knew the procedures,” he said. “But now I can put a per-sonality to those procedures. I get to meet the people behind

Springville City is tightening the budget set aside for its new library, but officials say residents won’t see a difference in the quality of the new building.

Pam Vaughn, library director, said the budget for the library has shrunk from $14 million to $11 million at the urging of city officials seeking to cut costs. Residents voted for a $9.8 million bond in November to build the library, with the city furnishing the rest of the costs. Most of the differ-ence in cost will likely be in the size of the building,

SALT LAKE CITY — Police say a Salt Lake City attorney who defended polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs in a 2007 criminal trial has been ar-rested in southern Utah.

Purgatory Correctional Fa-cility booking records show Walter “Wally” Bugden was arrested at 1:38 a.m. Saturday by police in Ivins on suspicion of public intoxication.

Bugden, 58, was released from the Washington County jail in Hurricane after posting a $182 bond.

Ivins police declined to release any details about Bugden’s arrest.

A telephone message left at Bugden’s office Sunday by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.

Jeffs is head of the south-ern-Utah based Fundamental-ist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In 2007 a 5th District Court jury convict-ed the church leader on two counts of rape as an accom-plice for his role in the mar-riage of underage follower to her cousin. He was sentenced to two terms of five years to

life in the Utah State Prison.Bugden and his legal part-

ner Tara Isaacson, of Salt Lake City and Las Vegas at-torney Richard Wright are also representing Jeffs in his appeal.

Jeffs is currently in an Arizona jail awaiting trials on other charges related to the underage marriages of FLDS girls.

In Texas, where the sect has outpost, Jeffs has also been charged with an alleged sexual assault involving a 12-year-old girl he reportedly took as a wife.

SALT LAKE CITY — If the past is a window to the pres-ent, then a new book about po-lygamy among early Mormons could be a portal to under-standing where some contem-porary Utah polygamists have found inspiration for their way of life.

“Nauvoo Polygamy,” by George D. Smith illustrates the development of polygamy as it was first practiced in the 1840s by the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints living in Nauvoo, Ill.

Polygamy historian Martha Sontag Bradley says the book provides indisputable evidence that the scope of plural mar-riage was broader than most believe.

SALT LAKE CITY — Four Utah State University interior design students will finish school with more than diplo-mas. They’ll also be “green” certified.

The students have passed a professional accreditation exam for Leadership in Ener-gy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

LEED sets nationally ac-cepted standards for design, construction and operation of high-performance green build-ings.

The certification exam has

80 questions and a possible to-tal score of 200. Students must earn a score of 170 or better to pass.

USU Interior Design pro-gram director JoAnn Wilson says students who earn the certification will have a leg up on other designers when it comes to finding jobs.

VERNAL — Uintah County prosecutors have charged a Vernal woman with negligent homicide for the November car accident that killed a local softball coach.

Uintah County Attorney JoAnn Stringham filed the single count against Aimee Rowell on Wednesday, according to story from the Vernal Express Web site.

Negligent homicide is a class A misde-meanor.

Prosecutors say Uintah High School softball coach Claye Robb was out for an evening walk Nov. 21 when he was struck from behind by a truck driven by Rowell. They say Rowell, 24, also hit a power pole after hitting Robb.

The Utah State Court Web site shows Row-ell is scheduled for an arraignment in 8th Dis-trict Court Monday.

it all.”During the session, Williams

sits outside the chamber watch-ing the bills come up for their first, second and third read-ings. He listens to the debates and watches as bills get passed and as they fail.

“I read the bills before they get to committee, but when it gets to the floor and you hear it, it really has some weight to it,” Williams said.

Most of the mornings, Wil-liams sits in the hallway and waits for a gesture from Rep-resentative Sandstrom letting him know that he needs him to do something.

“Roland has been indispens-able,” said Sandstrom. “I can give him basic info on issues and he does research for the bills.”

Williams carries a notepad in his pocket, ready in a mo-ment’s notice for the four or five things that Sandstrom usually has for him to do. It can vary from sending e-mails, organizing appointments with

constituents to giving advice on bills. He even brings a Diet Coke to Sandstrom’s desk ev-ery morning before the session starts.

“It’s something that I can do to save him time,” he laughed. “There are only 33 working days in the session, which is why it’s so hectic.”

Williams usually spends his days walking between the House and the Senate, maneu-vering through all the tunnels underneath the Capitol as he makes the rounds for Sand-strom.

“The first Monday I was in bed by 8:30 p.m.,” he said. “I was half dead. There is so much work that goes on up here that the public doesn’t know.”

which may now be 35,000 square feet instead of 45,000.

“Right now, we’re looking at 35,000 unless we hear dif-ferently from the residents,” she said.

The city is working with architects to come up with a design for the building, which could be completed in late 2010 if it is started by fall 2009. Several public meetings will be held in the meantime to dis-cuss the budget and design of the building.

“They’re anxious to hear what people think about this plan,” Vaughn said.

Vaughn said the ideal size for the library would be one square foot per resident. In a survey conducted with the city’s residents, most said they would like a library that would still serve the community well for the next 20 years, she said. In order for the library to have one square foot per resi-dent when the city is built out, Vaughn said it would need to be 55,000-60,000 square feet.

The 35,000 square foot build-ing that is currently in the plans is a far cry from 60,000 square feet, but it will still be able to

support growth in the city of only 30,000, Vaughn said.

“Hopefully, you’re not build-ing to your current population, because that’s pretty short-sighted,” she said.

Vaughn said the library is a good idea for the city, despite the slumping economy. While proponents of the new library knew residents would want to tighten their belts instead of voting for a new bond, they also knew it would be a good time to build, she said. The new Springville city center was bid out at a substantially lower cost than expected, and it is possible the library will have the same results.

“We are in a very competi-tive atmosphere, both for the building and materials,” she said.

City Councilman Dean Olsen said original estimates for the building came in at $225 per square foot, and officials do not know yet if bids may come in lower when the time comes. The idea to reduce the budget was an effort to be more fiscally responsible in turbulent times, he said.

“We had a meeting and kind of looked at the economy and decided we were biting off a little bit there,” he said.

Olsen said officials want as

much citizen involvement as possible in the process. The community voted to pay for the library, and they have the right to wonder what will hap-pen with the library, he said.

“I don’t want to make it like we’re changing horses in the middle of the stream,” he said.

It’s hard to say how most of the public feels about the change, Olsen said, as only one person has had questions so far in a recent city council meet-ing. Hopefully, a lot of people will be involved in future meet-ings and will have input in the design and size of the building, he said. Even with a possible reduction in the size of the building, Olsen said the vast number of users at the current library will enjoy the change.

“That’s about four times — plus — the size of our current library,” he said.

The city is watching its spending closely, Olsen said. Hopefully it will get through the downturn OK, but the city will prepare for the worst, he said.

“We don’t know how long this present economic situa-tion is going to last,” he said. “It’s kind of ‘keep your dollars close to the chest.’ ”

Chantel Daines, a Spring-ville resident, said she fre-

quents the library with her children of all ages. She has participated in family nights, mother-daughter nights and kid’s programs, she said. Daines said she is disappointed in the smaller budget for the li-brary, but she can understand the situation.

“I guess I’m a little con-flicted,” she said. “I can under-stand why the city feels we need to cut back.”

Despite problems in the economy, Daines said it is important to think about how short-term changes will affect the long-term result. As long as the city is spending $11 mil-lion, Daines said part of her wonders what harm $3 million more might do.

“We’re already spending this much,” she said. “Why not make it the best library we can?”

Daines said, however, that is it understandable that the city would want to save $3 mil-lion during such a hard time. There are still stylistic aspects of the new library that will be a big benefit. The new library will improve the look of Main Street, she said, and there will be more room for programs and private study areas.

“I’m just grateful we’re get-ting a new library,” she said.

WASHINGTON — After campaigning on the promise to end one war, President Barack Obama is preparing to escalate another.

Obama’s dual stance on the two wars is not lost on congressional Democrats, many of whom also ran on anti-war plat-forms. In coming weeks, they expect to have to consider tens of billions of dollars needed for combat, including a major buildup of troops in Afghanistan.

While increasing the military’s focus in Afghanistan was anticipated — it was a cornerstone of Obama’s campaign — many Democrats acknowledged in recent interviews that they are skittish about sending more troops, even in small num-bers.

The concern, they say, is that the mili-tary could become further entrenched in an unwinnable war on their watch.

“Before I support any more troops to Afghanistan, I want to see a strategy that includes an exit plan,” said Rep. Jim

McGovern, a Massachusetts liberal who at one point wanted to cut off money for the Iraq war.

Added Wisconsin Democrat Sen. Russ Feingold, another fierce war opponent: “The idea of putting the troops in without having more clarity at least gives me pause.”

The Obama administration is in the midst of a sweeping strategy review. The results of that assessment might not be released for several weeks. In the mean-time, the administration is expected to approve an immediate request from the top military commander in Afghanistan for three more brigades, roughly 14,000 troops.

It is expected that more troops would follow, eventually doubling the presence from 33,000 to 60,000.

The proposed buildup had been under consideration by the Bush administra-tion as a means of dealing with an uptick in violent attacks. More than 130 U.S. personnel died in Afghanistan last year, compared to 82 in 2007, according to a recent Pentagon report.

Vice President Joe Biden sought to lower lawmakers’ expectations in the war when he met recently with House Democrats at their party retreat in Wil-liamsburg, Va.

“The economic and security and social conditions there are daunting” and the nation has “geography, demography and history working against us,” he said.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said as much in congressional testimony last month, warning against aspiring to turn Afghanistan into a “Central Asian Val-halla,” referring to a haven of purity in Norse mythology.

“Nobody in the world has that kind of time, patience or money, to be honest,” he told lawmakers.

Indeed, Afghanistan poses a foreign policy challenge unlike no other. The country is one of the poorest in the world. Opium production has given way to Colombia-like drug cartels trafficking heroin. Corruption is rampant. Terrorist fighters move freely across the Pakistan border. European voters want their armies to leave.

ECONOMY AND EDUCATION

David Tirrell-WysockiTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONCORD, N.H. — College freshman Elizabeth Hebert’s choice of a four-year school suddenly got too expensive. George Haseltine already has a business degree, but he con-cluded after several layoffs that he needed more training to get work.

So, in the middle of this school year, both landed at New Hampshire Technical In-stitute, which like other com-munity colleges across the country has suddenly grown a lot more crowded.

The two-year schools are reporting unprecedented enrollment increases this semester, driven by students from traditional colleges seeking more bang for their buck and by laid-off older workers.

But community colleges aren’t exactly cheering in this down economy: Tuition doesn’t come close to cover-ing costs, and the state funds used to make up the differ-ence are drying up.

Final figures aren’t in for this semester, but a na-tional group representing community colleges says the average increase from spring-to-spring is dramatic, and similar to what New Hampshire is reporting at its seven schools — a range of 4 percent to 19 percent.

The figure is 20 percent in Maine and South Carolina. One school in Idaho has more than twice the number of stu-dents this spring over last.

Last fall, Hebert, of Antrim, began her first se-mester at Eastern Nazarene

College in Massachusetts. But as the economy fell, she be-gan rethinking the thousands of dollars in loans she was carrying — at age 18.

“It was the realization of paying $30,000 a year for four years, and then to take that in loans, it was just way too much,” said Hebert, who is now paying $3,000 a se-mester at NHTI.

Haseltine, 25, of Rochester, said he was tired of being laid off from various jobs, so he drives almost an hour for his two-year criminal justice pro-gram. He hopes to become a police officer.

“The economy being in shambles pretty much; being constantly laid off; and not having lucrative job offers,” he said. “They are three rea-sons why.”

Nationwide, the average annual cost of community college is $2,402, compared

to $6,585 in tuition and fees at in-state public four-year schools, according to the Col-lege Board. Average tuition and fees for private four-year schools: $25,143.

Factoring in financial aid, the College Board estimates the average net cost at com-munity colleges is only about $100.

“We have seen it even more and more, mom and dad saying ‘Come back home, we can’t afford it,’ ” said Jim McCarthy, admis-sions director at Pennsylva-nia’s Northampton Commu-nity College, where spring enrollment is 10.4 percent higher than a year ago — and for the first time is higher than it was in the fall semes-ter.

New Hampshire is market-ing the transfer trend.

“I was going to a much larger school out of state and

paying $45,000 a year to go there,” straight-A business major Elizabeth Leone says in a TV ad. “I am getting a better experience here at NHTI and it’s more afford-able and closer to home.”

Leone transferred last fall after racking up $20,000 in loans and putting $5,000 more on credit cards for her first year at college in Pennsylvania. She couldn’t imagine how much more she would have had to borrow to return.

Going to a community col-lege doesn’t require giving up on hopes for a bachelor’s degree, since credits often transfer to four-year schools. States including New Hamp-shire, Maryland and New Jersey have made it easier for students to begin their higher education at a com-munity college and end it at a university.

Justin PopeTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DURHAM, N.C. — The stimulus plan emerging in Washington could offer an un-precedented, multibillion-dollar boost in financial help for col-lege students trying to pursue a degree while they ride out the recession.

It could also hand out billions to the states to kick-start idled campus construction projects and help prevent tuition in-creases at a time when families can least afford them.

But cuts of $40 billion for state and local governments in the Senate version were a big disappointment for college leaders.

House-Senate negotia-tions will determine whether education aid to the states is relatively modest or massive — and how much gets directed to high-need institutions for building projects, versus elite universities that would benefit if the final package spends more of the money on scien-

tific research.Students are big winners.

Both the House and Sen-ate bills call for the largest-ever funding increase for Pell Grants, the government’s chief college aid program for low-income students.

It will take much of the pro-posed $15.6 billion increase in the House version (slightly less in the Senate) just to erase the existing funding shortfall and meet the surging demand as the economy sours and more students enroll.

But the package would also increase next year’s maximum award by up to $500, to $5,350, starting July 1. That’s the big-gest increase in history and would cover three-quarters of the cost of the average public four-year college.

Most Pell recipients come from families earning less than $40,000. And supporters note the new Pell dollars would be spent almost immediately — students can’t save them — while also paying off down the road.

OBITUARY IN THE NEWSPete Goering

TOPEKA, Kan. — Pete Goer-ing, an award-winning colum-nist and editor for The Topeka Capital-Journal, died Saturday. He was 60.

The newspaper said he died at home surrounded by family. In a column in April 2007, Goer-ing informed his readers he had lung cancer.

In a career with the Capital-Journal that spanned nearly 40 years, Goering worked as a

photographer’s intern, sports writer, sports editor and colum-nist and executive editor. His peers voted him Kansas sports writer of the year five times.

With a folksy, easy-to-read style and deft humorous touch, Goering chronicled Kansas in five Final Fours, reported twice on the Olympics and covered both of the Kansas City Roy-als’ appearances in the World Series, including their 1985 tri-umph over St. Louis.

FOND DU LAC, Wis. — Jay Capelle would give anything to get back his factory job of 32 years. At the same time, he’s grateful to have extra time on his hands these days to care for his ailing wife, stay in shape and work on a long-planned baseball documentary.

The unemployed are stressed out about unpaid bills, dashed retirement plans and the loss of workplace camara-derie. But many say life minus work also has its bittersweet upsides, including more time with family and friends, learn-ing new skills, focusing on their health and pursuing hob-bies.

There is a wide range of opinions, of course, about just how sweet, or bitter, the expe-rience has been.

An idled auto worker in Wisconsin cherishes extra time with his kids, and his guitar. A former communications worker in Virginia finds time for hiking as a distraction from the job search. But two job-less friends in North Carolina who’ve played plenty of golf together say enough is enough: they’re ready again for the joy of earning a paycheck.

All of these people said they would give up their newfound free time in a heartbeat if they could land jobs. And most spend hours each day trying. But as unemployment spells

drag on longer than antici-pated, they have allowed them-selves to enjoy activities not directly related to the job hunt without feeling guilty.

Alex Swain, 36, of Leesburg, Va., said his fruitless search for work has been discourag-ing. Since losing his job last April at a wireless communi-cations company, Swain has applied for more than 200 jobs, gone on 10 interviews and has not had a single offer.

But rather than sulking in front of the television when he’s not searching online job post-ings, Swain forces himself to keep up with hobbies like play-ing music, painting and hiking.

“You can’t stay in the house all day or you’ll lose your mind,” he said.

Others are spending time in the classroom.

Andre Lovato, 55, of Wauke-sha, Wis., who was laid off from his job at a signmaking company in 2006, earned a degree in printing and publish-ing from a technical college in December. Lovato, who has applied for 35 jobs since then without any luck, devotes his free time to woodcarving, sketching and computer illus-trations.

But as his unemployment drags on, he longs for interac-tion with colleagues and get-

ting praise for a job well-done.“I miss showing my work

and having people say, ‘Hey man, you did pretty good stuff,’ ” he said.

Brad Palzkill, 39, was laid off from the General Motors plant in Janesville, Wis., last June. This means the family can’t afford to eat out as often, and the kids’ Christmas gifts were less extravagant last year. But he doesn’t miss installing hun-dreds of consoles in trucks ev-ery night, which took a toll on his knees and wrists; and it’s nice to have more free time to spend with family and strum-ming his guitar — when he’s not looking for work.

Unemployed use time for hobbies, family

WASHINGTON — Two drugmakers spent hundreds of millions of dollars last year to raise awareness of a murky illness, helping boost sales of pills recently approved as treatments and drowning out unresolved questions — including whether it’s a real disease at all.

Key components of the industry-funded buzz over the pain-and-fatigue ailment fibro-myalgia are grants — more than $6 million donated by drugmakers Eli Lilly and Pfiz-er in the first three quarters of 2008 — to nonprofit groups for medical conferences and educational campaigns, an As-sociated Press analysis found.

That’s more than they gave for more accepted ailments such as diabetes and Alzheim-er’s. Among grants tied to specific diseases, fibromyalgia ranked third for each com-pany, behind only cancer and AIDS for Pfizer and cancer and depression for Lilly.

Fibromyalgia draws skepti-cism for several reasons. The cause is unknown. There are no tests to confirm a diagno-sis. Many patients also fit the criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome and other pain ail-ments.

Experts don’t doubt the pa-tients are in pain. They differ on what to call it and how to treat it.

Many doctors and patients say the drugmakers are edu-cating the medical establish-ment about a misunderstood illness, much as they did with depression in the 1980s. Those with fibromyalgia have often had to fight perceptions that they are hypochondriacs, or even faking their pain.

But critics say the compa-nies are hyping fibromyalgia along with their treatments, and that the grantmaking is a textbook example of how drugmakers unduly influence doctors and patients.

“I think the purpose of most pharmaceutical company ef-forts is to do a little disease-mongering and to have people use their drugs,” said Dr. Frederick Wolfe, who was lead author of the guidelines defining fibromyalgia in 1990 but has since become one of its leading skeptics.

Whatever the motive, the push has paid off. Between the first quarter of 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2008, sales rose from $395 million to $702 million for Pfizer’s Lyrica, and $442 million to $721 million for Lilly’s Cymbalta.

Cymbalta, an antidepres-sant, won Food and Drug Administration approval as a treatment for fibromyalgia

in June. Lyrica, originally ap-proved for epileptic seizures, was approved for fibromyal-gia a year earlier.

Drugmakers respond to skepticism by pointing out that fibromyalgia is recog-nized by medical societies, in-cluding the American College of Rheumatology.

“I think what we’re seeing here is just the evolution of greater awareness about a condition that has generally been neglected or poorly man-aged,” said Steve Romano, a Pfizer vice president who oversees its neuroscience divi-sion. “And it’s mainly being facilitated by the fact the FDA has now approved effective compounds.”

The FDA approved the drugs because they’ve been shown to reduce pain in fibro-myalgia patients, though it’s not clear how. Some patients say the drugs can help, but the side effects include nausea, weight gain and drowsiness.

Helen Arellanes of Los Angeles was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in September 2007 and later left her job to go on disability. She takes five medications for pain, includ-ing Lyrica and Cymbalta.

“I call it my fibromyalgia fog, because I’m so medicated I go through the day feeling like I’m not really there,” Arellanes said. “But if for some reason I miss a dose of medication, I’m in so much pain.”

A single mother of three, Arellanes sometimes strug-gles to afford all her medica-tions. She said she is grateful that a local Pfizer sales repre-sentative occasionally gives her free samples of Lyrica “to carry me through the month.”

Drugmakers’ push boosts ‘murky’ ailment

“I think the purpose of most pharmaceutical

company efforts is to do a little

disease-mongering and to have people use their drugs.”

‘A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastro-phe.”

— President Obama, Feb. 4.

Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inau-gural address two weeks earlier declared “we have chosen hope over fear.” Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.

And so much for the promise to banish the money changers and in-fluence peddlers from the temple. An ostentatious executive order banning lobbyists was immediate-ly followed by the nomination of at least a dozen current or former lobbyists to high position. Followed by a Treasury secretary who al-legedly couldn’t understand the payroll tax provisions in his 1040. Followed by Tom Daschle, who had to fall on his sword according to the new Washington rule that no Cabinet can have more than one tax delinquent.

The Daschle affair was more se-rious because his offense involved more than taxes. As Michael Kins-ley once observed, in Washington the real scandal isn’t what’s illegal, but what’s legal. Not paying taxes is one thing. But what made this case intolerable was the perfectly legal dealings that amassed Dasch-le $5.2 million in just two years.

He’d been getting $1 million per year from a law firm. But he’s not a lawyer, nor a registered lobby-ist. You don’t get paid this kind of money to instruct partners on the Senate markup process. You get it for picking up the phone and ped-dling influence.

At least Tim Geithner, the tax-challenged Treasury secretary, had been working for years as a humble international civil servant earning non-stratospheric wages. Daschle, who had made another cool million a year (plus chauffeur and Caddy) for unspecified ser-vices to a pal’s private equity firm, represented everything Obama said he’d come to upend.

And yet more damaging to Obama’s image than all the hypoc-risies in the appointment process is his signature bill: the stimulus package. He inexplicably del-egated the writing to Nancy Pelosi and the barons of the House. The product, which inevitably carries Obama’s name, was not just bad, not just flawed, but a legislative abomination.

It’s not just pages and pages of special-interest tax breaks, giveaways and protections, one of which would set off a ruinous Smoot-Hawley trade war. It’s not

just the waste, such as the $88.6 million for new construction for Milwaukee Public Schools, which, reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, have shrinking enroll-ment, 15 vacant schools and, quite logically, no plans for new con-struction.

It’s the essential fraud of rush-ing through a bill in which the normal rules (committee hearings, finding revenue to pay for the programs) are suspended on the grounds that a national emergency requires an immediate job-creating stimulus — and then throwing into it hundreds of billions that have nothing to do with stimulus, that Congress’s own budget office says won’t be spent until 2011 and beyond, and that are little more than the back-scratching, special-interest, lobby-driven parochialism that Obama came to Washington to abolish. He said.

Not just to abolish but to create something new — a new politics where the moneyed pork-barreling and corrupt logrolling of the past would give way to a bottom-up, grass-roots participatory democ-racy. That is what made Obama so dazzling and new. Turns out the “fierce urgency of now” includes $150 million for livestock (and honeybee and farm-raised fish) insurance.

The Age of Obama begins with perhaps the greatest frenzy of old-politics influence peddling ever seen in Washington. By the time the stimulus bill reached the Senate, reports the Wall Street Journal, pharmaceutical and high-tech companies were lobbying furiously for a new plan to repatri-ate overseas profits that would yield major tax savings. California wine growers and Florida citrus producers were fighting to change a single phrase in one provision. Substituting “planted” for “ready to market” would mean a windfall garnered from a new “bonus de-preciation” incentive.

After Obama’s miraculous 2008 presidential campaign, it was clear that at some point the magical mystery tour would have to end. The nation would rub its eyes and begin to emerge from its reverie. The hallucinatory Obama would give way to the mere mortal. The great ethical transformations promised would be seen as a fairy tale that all presidents tell — and that this president told better than anyone.

I thought the awakening would take six months. It took two and a half weeks.

From the San Diego Union-Tribune, Wednesday, Feb. 4:

Earlier this week, the Euro-pean aircraft maker Airbus took itself out of competition

to build a new fleet of planes to be designated as Air Force One for the president of the United States. That left Chicago-based Boeing as the only company in the world capable of supplying the world’s most photographed plane.

Americans may breathe a sigh of relief that the president will continue to fly on American-made planes, but we shouldn’t feel the same way about efforts in Con-gress to attach “made in America” provisions onto the massive stimu-lus bill that just passed the House.

As currently written, the $816 billion stimulus bill would require that all iron and steel used in stimulus-funded infrastructure bills

be U.S.-made. It also would require that uniforms for the more than 100,000 officers in the Department of Homeland Security be made in America. Some members of Congress also want a $20 billion al-location for computerizing medical records to be directed exclusively toward companies in the United States.

It is true that a clear majority of Americans are concerned with global trade and manufacturing jobs lost in this country. And, yes, calls to “buy American” sound patriotic. But the world is more complicated than that. Once the United States throws up barriers to imports, our exports become targets of foreign governments. And governments from Canada to Brazil to China have warned the United States to refrain from adopting such blatantly protection-ist measures.

MEDIA VOICES

Bennion Spencer

The future of peace in the world depends on the strength of America. As the Bush adminis-

tration comes to a close, we look to the future and peace on earth has real potential.

The inauguration of Barack Obama on Jan. 20 brings with it new oppor-tunity and focus. The United States of America is the greatest country in the world. The foundation of America’s greatness is secured by the Consti-tution. I, like many others, believe that the Constitution is a document that was written by men who were inspired of God. Because the Constitu-tion is a heavenly-inspired framework for governance our people can be blessed. Our country has flourished because of the fundamental principles in the Constitution that serve as a moral compass and light for all of us.

As secretary of state in the Obama Administration, Hillary Clinton will restore the respect, the vigor, and the strength of the “American brand” across the globe. Our Constitution has influenced the majority of democra-cies that stand in the world today.

There is a reason why other na-tions have always looked to America as that shining city on the hill. The Declaration of Independence with its thundering affirmation that “All Men are Created Equal,” and our Bill of Rights, with guarantees to protect the individual from the state, has always been a beacon for hope in troubled parts of the world.

There is no stronger advocate or defender of equality and protection of basic human rights under the law

than Hillary Clinton. Her commitment to renew these core values as our sec-retary of state will do much to affirm to the world that the United States is still the standard by which the world measures itself. She knows we are the beacon in the dark, that “land of the free, and the home of the brave.”

The days of torture involving sexual humiliation, water boarding, and other things that can’t be printed in a fam-ily newspaper are gone, replaced by a new group of citizen-leaders who are willing to put their faith in the values that have defined American great-ness for over two hundred years. That nation of promise, the United State of America — a nation governed by

inspired law — is returning. The world is still a very dangerous and complex community. Senator Clinton has indi-cated that as secretary of state she will endeavor to use all of what we are as a nation to make peace in the world, realizing that military power is not the first option in diplomacy.

Hillary Clinton really does believe these words: “that we hold these truths to be self-evident . . . that all men are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.” She believes everyone in the world should have the liberty and opportunity we have as Americans. There are those out there in the world who have won-dered what happened to the America they always admired.

Mrs. Clinton will use her new posi-tion to renew that promise of Ameri-ca. It will take time, but she believes in inherent goodness of man. Great things can happen when the coun-tries of the world can see and believe that we in America want to be a part of the global community, committed to peace and growth. In time it will be safer for Americans to travel the world.

Missionaries of all faiths and orga-nizations that promote development in impoverished sectors will be able to get more done because confidence has been restored. President Obama will have his hands full guiding the country through the current eco-nomic challenge. Thankfully, he has chosen the right person to represent us on the world stage.

The NATION The WORLDFreeing grounded ship in Hawaii fails

HONOLULU — The Navy says its third attempt to free a $1 billion warship that ran aground off the coast of Ha-waii has failed.

Tugboats and a salvage ship tried unsuccessfully for four hours early Sunday to pull the USS Port Royal off a rock and sand shoal. The guided missile cruiser ran aground Thursday about a half-mile south of the Hono-lulu airport.

Pacific Fleet spokeswoman Agnes Tauyan says the Navy is reassessing its options.

The Navy had removed fuel, water and some person-nel from the 9,600-ton vessel on Saturday in an effort to lighten it.

The 15-year-old Port Royal ran aground as it was finish-ing the first day of sea trials following four months of rou-tine maintenance at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.

No one was injured and no contaminants leaked.

Philadelphia owed $1B in unpaid bail

PHILADELPHIA — Court officials in Philadelphia say people who are released on bail but don’t show up for their trials owe the city more than $1 billion.

Court officials compiled their first ever tally of bail jumpers in the city at the request of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Before the newspaper raised the issue, the mag-nitude of the problem was unknown. Court officials initially told the Inquirer that only $2 million was owed.

A criminal defendant in Philadelphia is usually freed after paying 10 percent of the bail. Defendants who show up for trial get that money back, minus a small fee.

People who don’t show up forfeit the 10 percent and owe the remaining 90 per-cent, but the city has made little effort to collect that money.

Flight 93 memorial plans move forward

SOMERSET, Pa. — The National Park Service ex-pects that a contract will be awarded by autumn for construction of the Flight 93 National Memorial in west-ern Pennsylvania.

Park Service Superinten-dent Joanne Hanley gives that estimate now that the government has reached a deal to acquire the 275-acre crash site.

Hanley met Saturday with the joint Flight 93 Memorial Task Force and the Flight 93 Advisory Commission.

Flight 93 was en route from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco on Sept. 11, 2001, when it was diverted by hijackers. The official 9/11 Commission report said the hijackers crashed the plane while passengers tried to take control of the cockpit.

The goal is to have the $58 million memorial and national park ready for the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Kan. looks to legalize full-strength beer

TOPEKA, Kan. — Six de-cades have passed since Pro-hibition ended in Kansas and a century since Carry Nation swung her last tomahawk.

But Kansans still can’t buy a full-strength beer at the grocery store.

Grocers and convenience store owners argue the time has come to change all that. And once again — as they have over the past 20 years — they’re asking Kansas lawmakers to pass legisla-tion to allow them to sell most full-strength beer.

Current law limits them to selling what some derisively call “near beer” that’s no more than 3.2 percent alco-hol by weight.

“Nobody wants to buy it. Nobody wants to drink it,” Lenexa BP convenience store owner Aaron Jacobs complained about his store’s 3.2 product. “The only people who do are the ones who

don’t know.”However, the reason the

law hasn’t changed lo these many years has more to do with money than morals. The state’s liquor store lobby successfully fights off all at-tempts to change the law, an act they argue would create thousands of new competi-tors for liquor stores over-night.

Calif. octuplets set off ethical debate

CHICAGO — The thir-tysomething patient knew what she wanted: seven fro-zen embryos transferred to her womb to maximize her chance of getting pregnant.

But her doctor, Dr. David Cohen of the University of Chicago Medical Center, told her he wasn’t comfortable doing that. “It’s too danger-ous,” he recalls saying.

It wasn’t an easy conver-sation. The patient had tried several rounds of in vitro fertilization, unsuccessfully. She said she was running out of patience and money. And she promised she would “selectively reduce” some of the embryos — abort them in utero — if more than a few implanted successfully.

Cohen said he would discuss the matter with col-leagues, but he knew his mind was already made up.

“The risks to the mom and to the babies are huge when you carry multiples,” he said. “My obligation is to do what’s best for the mother and the babies that might be born, not to satisfy a pa-tient’s desire.”

Since a single, 33-year-old California woman gave birth to octuplets late last month, people have been pondering the ethics of assisted repro-duction. How far should a doctor go in helping a woman have a baby? When, if ever, is it appropriate for a doctor to say “No, I can’t help you”?

GOP seeks to end ban on donation limits

WASHINGTON — Repub-licans are making another run at overturning a ban on unlimited “soft money” con-tributions. Their Democratic rivals say it is an attempt to bring big money back to politics because the GOP can’t keep up with President Barack Obama’s fundraising machine.

The Republican National Committee is suing to over-turn part of a ban on unlim-ited contributions passed by Congress in 2002 and upheld by the Supreme Court a year later.

The suit is against the Federal Elections Commis-sion, which enforces the law, but the Democratic National Committee and House Demo-crats campaign chief Rep. Chris Van Hollen have asked the court to let them defend the law as well. The GOP is fighting to keep the Demo-crats out of the courtroom dispute.

The party positions are ironic, given how the law got its start. The law, known as McCain-Feingold after the senators who sponsored it, restricts donations by individ-uals to $28,500 per year to the political parties and prohibits the parties from accepting any corporate or labor union contributions.

Before the law was enact-ed, the two parties were rais-ing hundreds of millions in soft money, with rich individ-uals, businesses and unions giving a million or more. Ex-perts originally thought that Democrats had the most to lose under the ban since the Democrats relied more heav-ily on those contributions.

But Obama’s presidential campaign raised record amounts of money under the limits, with nearly 4 million donors giving about $750 million to his effort.

A week after Obama won the election, the Republican National Committee filed suit, even though its can-didate for president, John McCain, was one of the au-thors of the soft-money ban, and Republican President George W. Bush had signed it into law.

After Brazil plane crash 24 dead, 4 survive

SAO PAULO — Four people at the rear of a plane that crashed in a muddy Amazon river managed to open an emergency door and swim to safety as the aircraft sank, dragging at least 24 others to their death.

Most victims were members of a single family that char-tered the plane to travel to a birthday party. Seven children died.

“It was all very fast. The plane sank very fast,” 21-year-old survivor Brenda Moraes told GloboNews TV. “We only had a chance because we were sitting in the last rows and could open the emergency door.”

Divers recovered two dozen bodies from the twin turboprop plane that plunged into the Manacapuru river in a heavy rainstorm Saturday afternoon, firefighter Maj. Jair Ruas Braga said.

Authorities said they would investigate whether the plane, with a capacity of 21, had too many passengers.

Military: 2 Gaza rockets hit southern Israel

JERUSALEM — Two rock-ets fired by Palestinian mili-tants struck southern Israel on Sunday, Israel’s military said, violating an informal truce even as Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers appeared to hurry closer to a long-term cease-fire deal two days before Israeli elections.

The Gaza Strip’s strongman was in Syria, consulting with his Hamas bosses about the truce talks, while Israel’s de-fense minister warned Israelis they would have to pay a pain-ful price as part of any deal. The flurry of activity came just two days before Israelis elect a new government expected to take a harder line in talks with the Palestinians.

Israel unilaterally ended a blistering, three-week of-fensive in Gaza, meant to halt years of rocket fire on south-ern Israeli communities, last month. Some 1,300 Palestinians were killed, according to Gaza health officials, and the gov-ernment said 13 Israelis also died. Vast areas of Gaza were destroyed or heavily damaged. Hamas announced its own cease-fire the same day.

Iraqi shoe thrower due in court

BAGHDAD — The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at ex-President George W. Bush faces trial next week for allegedly assaulting a foreign leader after an appellate court refused to reduce the charge, a judicial official said Sunday.

Muntadhar al-Zeidi, 30, who won folk hero status through-out the Arab world for his

protest, has been in custody since the Dec. 14 outburst at Bush’s joint news conference with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

He had been due to stand tri-al in December but his defense team won a delay as it sought to reduce the charges to simply insulting Bush.

However, court spokesman Abdul-Sattar Bayrkdar said an appellate court rejected the request and ordered the jour-nalist to face trial on Feb. 19 on the original charge. He did not say when the appeals court is-sued its decision.

Former president will run in June vote in Iran

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s former reformist president declared Sunday that he will run for president again in the country’s upcoming elections, posing a serious challenge to hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

There had been speculation for months that Mohammed Khatami would seek the presi-dency in the June 12 vote. The 65-year-old popular reformist is a powerful counterpoint to Ahmadinejad, whose mixture of Western defiance and fiery nationalism sharply contrasts Khatami’s tempered tones and appeals for global dialogue.

“I seriously announce my candidacy in the next (presidential) election,” he announced Sunday during a meeting with his supporters.

Khatami said it was impos-sible for someone like himself who was interested in the fate of Iran to remain silent. He said he decided to run be-cause he was “attached to the country’s greatness and the people’s right to have control

over their own fate.”Khatami’s landslide presi-

dential victory in 1997 defeated hard-liners who ruled Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

He is credited with relaxing some of Iran’s rigid restric-tions on cultural and social activities, but he left office in 2005 widely discredited among his political base after hard-line clerics stifled the bulk of his reform program.

New Zealand keeps town in the dark

TEKAPO, New Zealand — This little town is in the dark and proud of it.

Where other places greet the night by lighting up their streets and tourist attractions, this one goes the other way — low-energy sodium lamps are shielded from above, and household lights must face down, not up.

The purpose: to bring out the stars.

The town of 830 people on New Zealand’s South Island is on a mission to protect the sight of the night sky, even as it dis-appears behind light and haze in many parts of the world.

The ultimate prize would be UNESCO’s approval for the first “starlight reserve,” and already the “astro tourists” are coming.

A group of 25 are huddled at midnight on a bare New Zea-land hilltop, their faces numbed by an icy wind as they gaze up at the Milky Way.

“It’s awesome, I mean it’s like beyond words,” says Si-mon Venvoort, 46, a manage-ment consultant from Amster-dam. “You see so much you aren’t aware of.”

“You know that two genera-tions now are growing up not

being aware that all this is out there because ... half of the world is light-polluted.”

It’s estimated that about one fifth of the world’s population and more than two-thirds in the U.S. cannot see the Milky Way from their homes.

Sri Lanka: 15,000 civilians flee war zone

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — More than 15,000 civilians have fled Sri Lanka’s northern war zone over the last three days, an official said Sunday, as government forces appeared poised to crush the separatist Tamil Tigers.

Meanwhile, attacks in the north killed at least 21 rebels over the weekend, according to the military.

The military’s relentless of-fensive in recent months has almost routed the rebels, virtu-ally ending their 25-year war for a separate Tamil nation in the Sinhalese-majority country.

But the United Nations and aid agencies have expressed concern for the estimated 250,000 civilians trapped in the shrinking sliver of land still controlled by the Tigers. Inter-national organizations includ-ing the Red Cross have urged both sides to let the noncomba-tants out of the conflict zone.

“So far on Sunday, 4,600 civilians have come to the government areas,” military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said.

He said 5,600 fled the war zone on Saturday while anoth-er 5,000 crossed over Friday, bringing the total for the three days to 15,200.

The government accuses the rebels of holding civilians as human shields, a charge the rebels deny.

Firefighters review a plane that crashed at the Manacapuru river, near Manaus, in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, on Sunday. A handful of survivors seated at the rear of a plane that crashed in a muddy Amazon jungle river managed to open an emergency door and swim to safety before the aircraft sank, dragging at least 24 others to their death.

expected to pass the Senate on Tuesday. The House had already passed its $819 billion version of the measure.

Lawmakers were likely to begin reconciling those differences later this week, with Obama still pressing to have the stimulus measure on his desk for signing by mid-month.

But without the infusion of federal money to state and local governments, the coun-try may still face “a vicious cycle of layoffs, falling home values, lower property taxes, more layoffs,” said Lawrence Summers, chairman of the White House National Eco-nomic Council.

Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., the chairman of the Banking Committee, chided Republicans for ignoring the outcome of the November election.

“We had an election last year which had pretty de-cisive results in the White House, the Senate and the House. And it did say that public spending for improved infrastructure, to keep bridg-es from crumbling, to keep cops and firefighters working is a good thing,” Frank said.

The Senate measure was pared back from more than $900 billion to entice a hand-ful of necessary Republican votes in support of the legisla-tion. The House bill passed without a single Republican vote in its favor, a rebuke to Obama’s vow to take the de-bilitating partisan heat out of Washington politics.

Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said he

expects Obama’s stimulus package to pass the Senate, but he warned that it could damage the U.S. economy in the future.

A stark critic of Obama’s approach to repairing the badly damaged economy, Cornyn said he believes pass-ing the measure with minimal Republican support must be a major disappointment to Obama. He argued that the president’s stimulus package is loaded with pet Democratic spending projects and is “just spending as far as the eye can see.”

Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., rejected Democratic criticism that his fellow Republicans were dragging out passage of the bill.

“It’ll pass this week, but we want some time to go through it, we want some time for the American people to be able to look at it,” En-sign said.

Republicans claim that Democrats have failed to learn the lessons of history, arguing that an Obama-style stimulus did not work in the 1930s, when President Frank-lin D. Roosevelt faced similar economic upheaval.

Summers was blunt in re-jecting the criticism.

“Those who presided over the last eight years, eight years that brought us to the point where we inherited trillions of dollars in deficits, an economy that’s collaps-ing more rapidly that in any time in the last 50 years, don’t seem to be in a strong posi-tion to lecture about the les-sons of history,” he said.

“We need an approach that’s very different from the approach that brought us to this point,” Summers said.

HEALESVILLE, Australia — Entire towns have been seared off the map by wild-fires raging through south-eastern Australia, burning people in their homes and cars and raising the death toll to 84 on Sunday in the deadliest blaze in the country’s history.

Searing temperatures and wind blasts created a firestorm that swept across a swath of the country’s Vic-toria state, where at least 700 homes were destroyed and all of the victims died. More victims were expected to be found, officials said.

“Hell in all its fury has visited the good people of Vic-toria,” Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said. “It’s an appalling tragedy for the nation.”

The skies rained ash and trees exploded in the inferno, witnesses said, as tempera-tures of up 117ºF combined with blasting winds to create furnace-like conditions.

The town of Marysville and several hamlets in the Kinglake district, both about 50 miles north of Melbourne, were utterly devastated.

At Marysville, a winter tourism town that was home to about 800 people, up to 90 percent of buildings were in ruins, witnesses said. Police said two people died there.

“Marysville is no more,” Senior Constable Brian Cross told the AP as he manned a checkpoint Sunday on a road leading into the town.

At least 18 of the deaths were from the Kinglake area, where residents said the fire hit with barely any notice.

Mandy Darkin said she was working at a restaurant “like nothing was going on” until they were suddenly told to go home.

“I looked outside the win-dow and said: ‘Whoa, we are out of here, this is going to be bad,’ ” Darkin said. “I could see it coming. I just remem-ber the blackness and you could hear it, it sounded like a

train.”Only five houses were left

standing out of about 40 in one neighborhood that an As-sociated Press news crew flew over. Street after street was lined by smoldering wrecks of homes, roofs collapsed in-ward, iron roof sheets twisted from the heat. The burned-out hulks of cars dotted roads. A church was smoldering, only one wall with a giant cross etched in it remained standing.

Here and there, fire crews

filled their trucks from ponds and sprayed down spot fires. There were no other signs of life.

From the air, the landscape was blackened as far as the eye could see. Entire forests were reduced to leafless, charred trunks, farmland to ashes. The Victoria Country Fire Service said some 850 square miles were burned out.

Rudd, on a tour of the fire zone, paused to comfort a man who wept on his shoulder,

telling him, “You’re still here, mate.”

Police said they were ham-pered from reaching burned-out areas to confirm details of deaths and property loss. At least 80 people were hospital-ized with burns.

On Sunday, temperatures in the area dropped to about 77ºF but along with cooler conditions came wind changes that officials said could push fires in unpredictable direc-tions.

Thousands of exhausted volunteer firefighters were battling about 30 uncontrolled fires Sunday night in Victoria, officials said, though condi-tions had eased considerably. It would be days before they were brought under control, even if temperatures stayed down, they said.

Residents were repeatedly advised on radio and televi-sion announcements to initiate their so-called “fire plan” — whether it be staying in their homes to battle the flames or to evacuate before the roads became too dangerous. But some of the deaths were people who were apparently caught by the fire as they fled in their cars or killed when charred tree limbs fell on their vehicles.

Firefighters work near Kinglake, northeast of Melbourne, Australia, on Sunday. Towering flames razed entire towns in southeastern Australia and burned fleeing residents in their cars as the death toll rose to 84 on Sunday, making it the country's deadliest fire disaster.

A cable box sits on top of a television in Philadelphia in 2007.

Deborah YaoTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA — Porter McConnell gave up on pay TV last summer after noticing that month-ly rates kept creeping up.

Now with no satellite or cable TV, she watches her trusty old TV set with an antenna or she goes online to catch her favorite programs. Once in a while, she buys shows from Apple Inc.’s iTunes service. McConnell also upped her subscription to Netflix Inc.’s movies-by-mail service so she gets two DVDs at a time instead of one, for $15 a month.

“Part of it is, I’ve got to economize,” said the 30-year-old Washington, D.C., resident who works at a nonprofit.

McConnell is the kind of consumer who makes cable and satellite TV operators lose sleep. While a weak economy invariably makes people pinch pennies, this is the first time that viewing shows online has become a viable competitor to pay TV, making cutting the cord easier.

Cable operators are starting to notice. Glenn Britt, chief executive of Time Warner Cable Inc., voiced his concern Wednesday in a quarterly earnings discussion with analysts.

“We are starting to see the beginning of cord cutting,” he said. “People will choose not to buy subscription video if they can get the same stuff for free.”

It’s tough to pin down how many people actu-ally have given up cable — most of the evidence remains anecdotal — and which customers moved to a competitor.

Still, Time Warner Cable, the nation’s second-largest cable operator, lost 119,000 basic video cus-tomers in the fourth quarter, even after excluding subscribers it gave up from the sale of some cable systems. The company also posted slower growth in new digital cable TV, Internet and phone sub-scribers.

More details will emerge as other cable and sat-ellite TV operators report earnings in the coming weeks.

This is not to say that the cable business is in trouble. It’s a mixed picture in this economy. While there will be some people who will com-pletely give up their pay TV service, many folks will keep the subscription but cut back instead on going out to the movies. They also might give up a movie channel or two and buy fewer pay-per-view shows.

But pay TV providers are right to be alarmed. Not only has a flood of TV shows and movies become available online, but the video quality has gotten better. Netflix is expanding its service that lets subscribers stream movies and shows from the Internet at no additional cost. And more and more people have home broadband — 57 percent of American adults, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project.

Throw in the worst economic slowdown in nearly a century and people question whether they still want to pay for cable or satellite. As of January 2008, the average monthly home cable bill was $84.59, up 21 percent from two years earlier, according to the Federal Communications Com-mission.

“You’ve got these factors aligning at the right time,” said Bobby Tulsiani, senior analyst at For-rester Research. “This time there is a real, viable alternative” to cable.

To be sure, there can be drawbacks to cancel-ing pay TV. Watching shows on a PC still isn’t as comfortable as watching TV while relaxing on a couch. The quality of Internet video, while improving, still isn’t as good, especially for live events, in which video and audio might not be in sync. While some game consoles, Blu-ray players and other devices enable video to be seamlessly delivered over the Internet to a TV, hooking up a computer to the TV to watch the full gamut of online shows on a big screen can take some tech-nical savvy.

These downsides mattered to 36-year-old Peter Tierney, who lost his job two weeks ago as a Web producer for a New York advertising agency.

With a wife and son to support, he called Time Warner Cable to cut his premium Japanese chan-nel and whittle down his $180 monthly cable bill.

Tierney ended up saving nearly $70 a month, after Time Warner Cable gave him discounts good for two years and he canceled the premium channels.

Color affects mood, as every pop psychologist knows. Considering the pall of gloom cast by the dire economy, it's no wonder color-trend forecasters are predicting a bumper year for yellows and purples — the former to cheer us up, the latter to calm us down.

Jean PattesonTHE ORLANDO SENTINEL

Color affects mood, as every pop psy-chologist knows.

Considering the pall of gloom cast by the dire economy, it’s no

wonder color-trend forecasters are predicting a bumper year for yellows and purples — the former to cheer us up, the latter to calm us down.

Not that everyone is rushing out to purchase paint or furnish-ings in yellow and purple, just because those have been declared the trendy colors for 2009.

“No matter what the trends, put colors in your home that you feel good about,” advises Jack Fowler, an Orlando, Fla., interior designer. “Take what the experts say, then adjust for your personal taste.”

With that in mind, here is what a trio of color experts is saying:

Toast mimosa yellow. “Yellow symbolizes sunshine, warmth, optimism and good cheer,” says Leatrice Eiseman, director of the Pantone Color Institute in Seattle. She predicts the color of the year

will be “mimosa yellow” — the golden-yellow of fluffy mimosa blossoms and the orange-based champagne cocktail.

Mimosa reflects “the warmth and nurturing qualities of the sun, properties we humans are drawn to for reassurance,” says Eise-man. “It’s also a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”

In other words, it’s well suited to a stalled economy in need of bright ideas to spark a recovery.

Use mimosa yellow as an ac-cent color — as paint on a single wall or pillows on a sofa, sug-gests Eiseman. “It’s marvelous with gray or taupe. It gives them a lot more life.”

Yellow is also a top pick of Debbie Zimmer, color and decorating expert at the Rohm & Haas Paint Quality Institute in Spring House, Pa.

“But not school-bus yellow. A softer shade,” she says.

“Yellow is a refreshing color. It can brighten any interior space. It’s terrific for sprucing up a house for potential resale. In an entrance hall, it’s really welcom-ing.”

Warm up to purple. Muted shades of purple also will grow in popularity and become one of the

year’s memorable colors, predicts Zimmer.

“As we head toward a more difficult economy, we’ll see more conservative colors — dusty pur-ple, lavender, violet,” she says. “The softer purple hues are sooth-ing. The darkest hues provide a dramatic backdrop for brighter accent colors.”

Americans are looking for something uplifting, says Patricia Call, an interior designer in New York and a board member of the Color Marketing Group in Alex-andria, Va. And that translates to purple power.

“Historically, purple is associ-ated with royalty. Now it’s being used for everything from cooking ranges to washing machines,” says Call. “In a bad economy, it gives you a lift to feel royal in the kitchen or laundry.

“It’s also a wonderful accent color. Purple Murano-glass sink stoppers bring glamour to a bath-room. Purple vases or pillows add an exciting pop of color to a living room, especially in combi-nation with sophisticated neutrals like grays and browns,” she says. “And as a wall color, the softer shades (of purple) are fabulous with southern natural light.”

Setting the mood with color

When choos-ing a color for your home, it’s worth consider-ing the psycho-logical effect a shade can have on your mood. Here is a list of colors and their emotional asso-ciations, some positive, others negative:

Yellow: cheerful-ness, hope, energy, creativity, caution.

Purple: calm, unique-ness, meditation, bravery, royalty, spirituality.

Red: warmth, love, valor, glamour, celebra-tion, dan-ger.

White: cold, pu-rity, clean-liness, goodness, austerity.

Black: opulence, sophis-tication, drama, gloom, dread.

Green: nature, nurturing, fertil-ity, restful-ness, luck, jealousy.

Blue: tranquility, mystery, freshness, unique-ness.

Orange: warmth, exoticism, excite-ment, sociability, change.

Yellows can help perk you up and purples can help mellow you out

With JASON FRANCHUKand NEIL K. WARNER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — Kobe Bry-ant was sick. The Cleveland Cavaliers just looked it.

With Bryant suffering from the flu, Lamar Odom scored a season-high 28 points — 15 in the third quarter— and Paul Gasol scored 18 as the streak-busting Los Angeles Lakers dominated the second half and handed Cleveland its first home loss this season, 101-91

on Sunday to complete a 6-0 road trip.

NBA

1Trade rumors are flying as the season approaches the all-star break. What player

would you like to see the Jazz go after?

∫ Warner: Amare Stoudamire is

intriguing. Utah may only have him for a year and a half (he’s a free agent in 2010), but maybe Phoenix would do it for Carlos Boozer to get cap relief.

∫ Franchuk: Anyone that would actually like to play in Utah. You’d think that would be simple because of the allure of young talent, the right piece realizing an NBA title could be in play and a respected head coach. But the Jazz won’t go after anyone because it’s a team with a strong nucleus under contract which hasn’t had many opportunities to play together because of injuries. Utah will bide its time.

2What do you think of the Lakers’ trade of Vladimir Radmanovic for Charlotte’s

Adam Morrison?

∫ Warner: I think it’s a good trade for the Lakers. When you can give up a guy who is averaging 5.9 points per game for a player who was the third overall pick in the draft, it’s a pretty low risk move that has high potential. The deal also gives the Lakers some salary-cap relief. Radmanovic is owed $6.5 million next season and $6.9 million a year later in a player option.

∫ Franchuk: I was a big Mor-rison fan in college, when he was the mustachioed star at Gonzaga. He’s just not much of a pro, though. He’s coming off a major knee injury and he seems to be one of those players whose never-ending emotion at the col-lege level doesn’t equate to the much longer NBA season. Kind of like Chicago’s Joakim Noah (of two-time national champ Florida fame). The trade itself helps both teams, though, as the Lakers needed an outside scorer and Charlotte’s abyss of a franchise gets a little added depth.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Corey Maggette scored 24 points and Stephen Jackson had 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in the Golden State Warriors’ latest impressive home victory, 116-96 over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night.

Kelenna Azubuike scored 16 points and C.J. Watson added 14 for the Warriors, who routed Phoenix four days earlier in Oakland behind Jackson’s first career triple-double. With Jackson again catalyzing the offense, Golden State rolled past the Jazz with a 38-point third quarter and a strong finish, eventually going ahead by 25 in the waning minutes.

Ronny Turiaf had 13 points filling in for injured starting center Andris Biedrins, while Monta Ellis scored 12 and Jamal

Crawford had 11 — all in the second half.

Deron Wil-liams had 31 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds for the Jazz, who

slipped back into ninth place behind the Suns in the Western Conference with their first loss in four games. Utah has lost 10 of 12 on the road heading into a five-game homestand.

Mehmet Okur had 21 points and nine rebounds, and C.J. Miles scored 10 points in his return to the Utah lineup after missing two games with bron-chitis. But the Jazz repeatedly failed to exploit the NBA’s worst defensive team by hitting open shots, leaving excitable coach Jerry Sloan riveted to the bench for most of the second half.

Utah’s awful third quarter featured five turnovers and 8-for-21 shooting while Golden State repeatedly hit its open shots and went to the free-throw line 15 times.

Golden State opened a 74-60 lead midway through the third with a 12-2 run highlighted by back-to-back 3-pointers by Crawford. Crawford hit both shots while falling onto his back with a defender in his face near the Golden State bench, thrilling the crowd.

Turiaf was a solid replace-ment, and rookie Anthony Randolph added six points and five rebounds in just 11 minutes of relief.

(Sackett) threw better than the final score indicates; we played well, and we are going to get better. I am also proud of our backups that came in today and did a nice job overall.”

In the second game of the day, UVU’s Cherylyn

McGraw hit a deep two-run blast off of Utah’s ace pitcher, Ashley Smuda, in the third inning to give UVU (2-3) a short-lived 2-1 lead. Utah (3-2) then an-swered back scoring four unearned runs of off the Wolverines starter, Sackett, to take the 5-2 lead. A costly error also helped the Utes, as they score five more runs to account for the final tally.

The Wolverines also fell in the first game on the day to San Jose State (2-3) in a five-inning, eight-run rule affair. In the game against SJSU, the Wolverines scored first, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning, as Kylee Steadman, Sackett and Lauren Augino all had RBI. SJSU quickly took control, as the Wol-verines’ pitchers struggled, allowing eight total walks and a number of wild pitches in the game.

∫ Cougars lost battle with USC: At Los Angeles, the BYU men’s volleyball team dropped its second match to No. 5 USC on Saturday. The Cougars

looked to be on the verge of victory after winning the second and third sets, but eventually fell 32-34, 35-33, 31-29, 23-30, 10-15 to the Trojans.

Despite the loss, several players recorded ca-reer and season highs on the night in kills, hitting percentage and assists. Freshman Russell Lavaja shattered his previous career record of six kills, con-tributing 13 of the Cougars’ 79. Fellow freshman Futi

Tavana also improved his career-high kills to 16.With the loss, the Cougars dropped to 5-6 on the

season and 3-3 in MPSF play. BYU will take the week off before hosting UC San Diego on Feb. 20 and 21.

No. 5 Louisville uses tough ‘D’ to winNEW YORK — Jerry Smith scored a season-high

21 points and No. 5 Louisville came up with another outstanding defensive effort in a 60-47 victory over St. John’s on Sunday.

It certainly wasn’t a great offensive day for the Cardinals (18-4, 9-1 Big East), who were coming off their first conference loss of the season to No. 1 Con-necticut.

Smith had 19 points in the second half to match Louisville’s total in the first half, its lowest of the season.

Penguins blank Red WingsPITTSBURGH — Pavel Datsyuk scored twice,

Marian Hossa added a goal midway through the third period and Ty Conklin shut out his former Pittsburgh Penguins teammates, leading the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-0 victory Sunday.

Datsyuk scored on a power play midway through the second period after the Penguins squandered three opportunities with the man advantage in the first. Conklin didn’t need much help after that, turn-ing aside all 25 Pittsburgh shots.

Datsyuk added his second of the game and 22nd of the season with 2:12 remaining.

happen with Ryan,” said Utah Valley coach Dick Hunsaker. “Again, congratulations, but frankly it’s part of the season and part of his career.”

Toolson averages 24.6 points per game and is the nation’s sixth-leading scorer. He currently holds the highest single-game scoring record in the NCAA this season with 63 points, and is also the second best free throw shooter in the country this year with a 92.8 free throw percentage.

The milestone just won’t be the same for Toolson unless UVU can post a win, and that will be a tough feat. Lamar comes in with a 12-9 record and includes a win over Texas Tech.

Lamar is coming off a 59-57 road win at Central Arkansas. Senior guard Kenny Dawkins leads the Cardinals, averaging 16.3 points per game, and is fol-lowed closely by senior guard Brandon McThay (13.8) and se-nior forward Jay Brown (13.6).

For UVU fans, there will be more to watch than just Tool-son shoot for history. There are some other interesting sto-rylines, such as the continual emergence of Tyray Petty, who recorded a double-double (10 points and 10 rebounds) in just 21 minutes against Acad-emy of Art.

UVU faithful can also follow the comeback of senior point guard Josh Olsen, who contin-ues to play well after returning from an ankle injury. Olsen has averaged 15 points in the past two games and is shooting 58 percent from the field.

The Wolverines as a whole have won two of their past three games and have not dropped below .500 all season. It’s important to beat Lamar because following Monday night’s game, UVU embarks on its longest road trip of the year. The Wolverines will play at New Jersey Institute of Technology and then travel to Savannah State in Georgia before crossing the country to play at San Jose State.

The game can be heard on KSTAR 1400 AM.

HONOLULU — With a huge red lei around his neck and a wide grin that could have stretched across Oahu, Larry Fitzgerald held up the gleam-ing, silver MVP trophy. It spar-kled in the sunshine as much as his game.

The only problem: It wasn’t the Lombardi Trophy.

Fitzgerald caught five passes for 81 yards and two touch-downs, 44-year-old John Car-ney kicked two fourth-quarter

field goals, and the NFC rallied to a 30-21 victory over the AFC. The Arizona Cardinals’ All-Pro receiver, coming off a record-breaking postseason and a spectacular Super Bowl in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steel-ers, earned MVP honors.

But he said the victory over the AFC, which featured three members of the Steelers’ de-fense, didn’t ease the pain from the Super Bowl.

“No, not one bit,” he said.

Fitzgerald also took home keys to a new Cadillac.

“I’m just glad we won, that’s the most important thing,” he said.

On a sweltering day, with 60 percent humidity, Kurt War-ner started for the NFC and played just one series before making way for Brees. War-ner was just 1-of-2 for 8 yards.

PRO BOWL

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO — Nick Wat-ney appeared to be along for the ride Sunday until making two birdies over the final three holes to take advantage of a late collapse by John Rollins and win the Buick Invitational.

Watney knocked in a 40-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the par-3 16th, then completed his five-shot rally with a two-putt birdie on the 18th hole. He closed with a 4-under 68 for his second ca-reer victory.

Rollins let this one get away.

He had a three-shot lead with five holes to play un-til making a bogey with a poor chip on the 14th, another bogey from a plugged lie in the bunker on the 16th, and failing to hit the green on the par-5 18th, leading to a par. He shot a 74.

Watney finished at 11-un-der 277 — the same total Ryuji Imada had last year when he was runner-up by eight shots to Tiger Woods, who has not played since knee surgery after winning the U.S. Open in June at Tor-rey Pines.

Watney hangs on to win Buick Invitational

∫ Warner: I have to say, the actual all-star game has be-come a bore to me. The dumb passes, the turnovers and the lack of effort on the defen-sive end has made the game a joke. I like the 3-point contest and last year was one of the better slam dunk contests in years.

∫ Franchuk: Anybody who’s shorter than me (6-2) and in the slam dunk contest will have me watching, though I yearn for the days of guys like Larry Bird, Mark Price and Craig Hodges firing from long range.

4What team do you see coming on strong after the all-star break and

what team do you see fading down the stretch?

∫ Warner: I think you have to like the Jazz to put together a strong second half and perhaps finish as high as third in the Western Conference. The team that I think will fade is Phoe-nix. The Suns are not a real patient team and are actively shopping most of the players on their roster. They seem like a team that just wants to get the season over with.

∫ Franchuk: This must come as somewhat of a surprise to NBA fans, but San Antonio will be the team to watch.

Yes, they’re older. But that slow start by injuries hasn’t kept the Spurs from the hunt. And that “rest” will come in handy down the road. Of course, we don’t need to mention their experience at winning. The team that’ll fall apart like a Hollywood marriage is Atlanta, which is fourth in the East but is about to embark on a six-game western road trip which will set the course for the rest of the season. Pleasure knowing you, Hot-lanta.

5The Jazz host the Lakers on Wednesday. Are the Lakers Utah’s biggest

NBA rival?

∫ Warner: No question. I

think if you polled Jazz fans and asked them what game they would want to see the most this season and what team they would want to beat the most, the Lakers would be the answer to both. There are always a thousand or more Laker fans that will be wear-ing Laker jerseys that always stir things up at the ESA. And of course, Jazz fans never miss out on a chance to boo Kobe.

∫ Franchuk: That’s the per-ception of the fans, and for good reason. Kobe, the come-and-go of Derek Fisher; glitz vs. hick. But the playoff series with Houston have been far more entertaining, and up-for-grabs.

NBA SCOREBOARD

intravenous fluids at halftime. But Odom picked up the offen-sive slack, helped contain LeB-ron James on defense, and was the biggest factor in the Lakers outscoring the Cavaliers 50-30 after halftime.

It’s been a tough few days for Cleveland. First, guard Mo Williams was bypassed for the second time as an All-Star. Then, James had his apparent historic triple-double in New York downgraded by an NBA review, and now, the Cavaliers have had their invincibility at home stripped by the road-weary Lakers.

“You have to give the Lak-ers credit,” said James, who scored 16 but missed 15 of his

20 field-goal tries. “I missed a lot of easy looks that I usually make.”

The Cavaliers came in 23-0 at Quicken Loans Arena, but were stopped by the Lakers, who are gaining a reputation for stopping streaks.

∫ Spurs 105, Celtics 99: At Bos-ton, Roger Mason pulled up and leaned into a 3-pointer with 20.4 seconds left, and Tim Dun-can scored 23 points with 13 rebounds to lead San Antonio.

∫ Trail Blazers 109, Knicks 108: At Portland, Ore., Brandon Roy’s finger-roll at the buzzer gave Portland a victory. Tra-vis Outlaw made a jumper with 31.9 seconds left to pull Portland within one at 108-107, and Al Harrington missed a layup on the other end for New

York. The Trail Blazers called a timeout with 4.3 seconds left before Roy took an inbound pass from Rudy Fernandez and drove for the winning layup.

∫ Suns 107, Pistons 97: At Au-burn Hills, Mich., Steve Nash scored 15 and had a season-high 21 assists, directing a bal-anced offense for Phoenix.

∫ Hornets 101, Timberwolves 97: At New Orleans, Sean Marks dunked with 7.8 seconds left to cap a career-high 18-point effort, and short-handed New Orleans overcame the ejection of David West.

∫ Magic 101, Nets 84: At Or-lando, Fla., Dwight Howard had 30 points and 16 rebounds to lift the Orlando to a victory

against New Jersey, which played without Vince Carter.

∫ Heat 96, Bobcats 92: At Mi-ami, Dwyane Wade shook off flu-like symptoms to score 22 points and regain the NBA scoring lead, rookie Mario Chalmers scored 16 and added a career-best 13 assists, and Miami held off Charlotte.

∫ Wizards 119, Pacers 117: At Washington, Caron Butler scored 15 straight points, including a game-winning 18-footer at the buzzer and Washington beat Indiana.

∫ Thunder 116, Kings 113: At Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 39 points and the Okla-homa City Thunder held off Sacramento after blowing a 19-point second-quarter lead.

Local Doctors Restore Men’s Sex Life

Erectile Dysfunction ClinicOpens in Salt Lake City

BY JEFF GOESTLERMen’s Health Consultant

A team of local physicians are part of a new medical clinic that opened recently in Salt Lake City, spe-cializing in only one unique, niche area – men’s sexual per-formance. Erectile dysfunction and pre-mature ejaculation have long been a problem for millions of men nationwide. In spite of the popularity of recent medications such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, many men either are not helped by these medications or cannot take them due to medical condi-tions and adverse side effects. The Utah Male Performance Clinic employs several local physicians including Dr. James Overall and Dr. Paul Woodruff, both longtime local physicians in Salt Lake City. “We successfully help almost every patient we see here,” according to Steven Zak, Clinic Director, “and we’ve treat-ed men from as young as twen-ty-one to as old as eighty-nine. Men with diabetes, heart condi-tions, bypass surgery, high blood

pressure, prostate problems and surgery, you name it and we’ve treated them. Regardless of age or medical condition, our results everyday are amazing.” All medications are FDA ap-proved and no surgery is in-volved. “Our doctors can adjust the dosage for a man’s perfor-mance to 45-minutes, an hour, 90-minutes or longer,” according to Zak, “and we offer a simple guarantee: ‘If you don’t respond to our medication on the first visit, it’s free.” With that guarantee, local pa-tients have nothing to lose. The clinic books appointments far in advance but occasionally can accommodate someone quickly. Saturday appointments are also available. Patients are assured of utmost privacy and professional-ism with private waiting rooms and an all-male staff. Further information is available by calling (801) 265-1980. Out-of-towners can call Toll Free (800) 380-2990. Utah Male Performance Clinic, 4001 South 700 East, Suite 110, Salt Lake City.www.utahmaleclinic.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stand behind your beliefs and don’t let anyone push you around. Uncertainty regarding work and future direction can lead to all sorts of variations that will help you build a stronger base. Don’t rely on others to drum up busi-ness. 5 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t give in to pressure or let stubbornness be your downfall. Taking on too much or being too indulgent or melodramatic can lead to challenges that will cost you time and money. Get as much done on your own as pos-sible. 2 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Doors are opening and the time to talk about your plans is now. Your Gemini charm will entice others to do things for you and will attract romantic interaction. A playful approach to everything you do will seal the deal person-ally and professionally. 4 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let an incident cause you to miss out on an opportunity for mon-etary help. Being pushy or clingy will hold you back. You need a change of scenery to rethink where you feel you should be heading. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have plenty to contribute to any group. A partnership is appar-ent and can change your world professionally, personally or both. Don’t back away when all you have to do is take what you want. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Change is on the horizon but you have to push a little harder to get things to fall into place. Don’t let your emotions hold you back when you have so much to gain by taking a strong position and sticking to your schedule. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Spread the word regarding what you want and how you see things unfolding. You cannot let a negative influence in your life stifle your plans or make you feel unsure. Take advantage of the opportunity you have. 4 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t give in to bullying or to someone trying to get you to do too much. Underhandedness is apparent, so do not fall for the false informa-tion being given. Ask questions and go to the source if you want a true assessment. 2 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Love is all around you and a lot can be accomplished with the people you are closest to. A few alterations regarding your voca-tion are looking positive. The information or skill you acquire should lead to more personal freedom. 5 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may end up saddled with a problem someone brings with him or her. A contract will be riddled with problems that must be adjusted before you can agree to sign. Loss is apparent if you let your emotions rule. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Emotions are high and the ability to change your personal life is looking very positive. Speak up about your plans for the future and the interest someone has in you will grow. Now is a great time to make changes. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let someone take over or do your work for you. If you aren’t in the loop, you will lose out. You can-not trust anyone to do what’s best for you. Uncertainty within a relationship must be handled carefully. 3 stars
