The stimulus tracker

Large parts of the $787 billion federal stimulus package to help the U.S. economy are being spent on entitlement programs such as unemployment benefits and Medicaid, but hundreds of billions will go toward contracts, grants and loans to restore infrastructure. Click on the map and categories below to track that spending down to the county level.

• Data for the tracker, provided by Onvia, a company that tracks government contracting activity, differs from federal government data.

• Where a single contract might trigger spending in several states or counties, the total is divided equally among those states or counties.

• Note that the location associated with a contract, grant or loan is based on the location of the contractor, not necessarily where the work is being performed.

Rosy outlook for No. 11 Oregon after 2OT win

  Jeremiah Masoli tied it with a touchdown pass to Ed Dickson with six seconds left, then won it with a 1-yard run in the second overtime as No. 11 Oregon defeated Arizona 44-41 on Saturday night and took a big step toward the Pac-10 title. The Ducks (9-2, 7-1 Pac-10) will earn a Pac-10 title and Rose Bowl berth with a victory over No. 20 Oregon State in a winner-take-all Civil War on Dec. 3 in Eugene.
