University of Missouri protests grow after athletes make stand

By SUMMER BALLENTINE and ALAN SCHER ZAGIER Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Long-simmering protests at the University of Missouri over matters of race and discrimination got a boost over the weekend when at least 30 black football players announced they will not participate in team activities until the university system’s president is removed.

For months, black student groups have complained of racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white, 35,000-student flagship campus of the four-college system. Frustrations flared during a homecoming parade Oct. 10 when black protesters blocked system President Tim

On Saturday night, black members of the football team joined the outcry. By Sunday, a campus sit-in had grown in size, graduate student groups planned walkouts, politicians began to weigh in, and a special meeting of the university system’s governing body was set for this morning in Columbia.

Wolfe hasn’t indicated he has any intention of stepping down, but agreed in a statement Sunday that “change is needed” and said the university is working to draw up a plan by April to promote diversity and tolerance.

WASHINGTON — Senior House members said Sunday that there was a mounting consensus among American intelligence officials that a bomb brought down the Russian charter jet that crashed last month in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, killing all 224 people aboard.

“I think there’s a growing body of intelligence and evidence that this was a bomb — still not conclusive — but a growing body of evidence,” Rep. Adam B. Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on the ABC program “This Week.”

Rep. Peter T. King, Republican of New York and the chairman of the Homeland Security subcommittee on terrorism and intelligence, went further, saying on the same program that intelligence officials he had spoken to believed that the Islamic State or an affiliate was behind the crash.

“Right now all the evidence points in that direction,” King said.

It is not clear how much American intelligence and law enforcement agencies have learned about the crash, which occurred Oct. 31. American investigators have not been invited to visit the crash site, and while the Russian government has asked the FBI for help, it is not known how much information Moscow has shared with the bureau.

In the days before the crash, electronic Continued on Page 10

WASHINGTON — The nation’s insurance commissioners are recommending sweeping new standards to address complaints from consumers about limited access to doctors and hospitals in health plans sold under the Affordable Care Act. Limited networks of health care providers are a feature of many insurance policies offered in the public marketplaces, or exchanges, where people with low incomes can often obtain subsidies that reduce their monthly premiums to $100 or less. Such “narrow networks,” consumers say, often do not include the doctors they need for specialized care for themselves or their children.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners, which represents state officials, would require that insurers have enough doctors and hospitals in their networks to provide all covered services to consumers “without unreasonable travel or delay.” States remain the primary regulators of insurance, despite a huge increase in federal insurance standards since adoption of the health law in 2010.

The thrust of the recommenda-

tions is to help consumers get care from providers affiliated with their health plan and to protect them against exorbitant costs if, for some reason, they receive care from doctors or hospitals that are not in the insurer’s network. Patients are typically required to pay more of the bill if they receive care outside their network.

Many consumers have been infuriated after using a hospital in their network and then receiving large medical bills from doctors who work at the hospital but are not in the network.

Under the commissioners’ proposals, in the form of a model state law, insurers and hospitals would be required to inform patients of any possibility that they may be charged extra by “a health care professional, such as an anesthesiologist, pathologist or radiologist,” who does not participate in the insurer’s network.

In such situations, the proposals say, patients should not be forced to pay more than their usual share of the bill for services provided by doctors affiliated with their health plan.

Doctors who object to the amount of the payment could haggle with the insurer in a mediation process, Continued on Page 10

Police: Woman dragged alongside car, injured

By The Indiana Gazette A Penn Run woman was injured when she was dragged alongside a vehicle at 6:20 p.m. Saturday in Penn Run, according to state police.

Troopers reported Elizabeth Wickens-Bacha, 37, was speaking to Jacob Shedlock, 21, of Clymer, through his passenger window for several minutes while holding $150 in cash.

Shedlock grabbed WickensBacha’s right arm and drove away, dragging her alongside the car, police said. She eventually dropped the

cash inside the car and told police Shedlock fled in an unknown direction.

Wickens-Bacha was taken from the scene for treatment at Indiana Regional Medical Center.

Police obtained a warrant Sunday and charged Shedlock with felony robbery and misdemeanor counts of theft and recklessly endangering another person.

He was taken into custody and arraigned later Sunday at 3:45 p.m. at Homer City District Court.

Court records show this morning Shedlock was unable to post bail.

SUPPORTERS OF Myanmar’s National League for Democracy Party waved a flag today outside the group’s headquarters in Yangon, Myanmar.

Suu Kyi’s party projects landslide in historic vote

By ESTHER HTUSAN and SHONAL GANGULY Associated Press

YANGON, Myanmar — Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s party said today that it was confident it was headed for a landslide victory in Myanmar’s historic elections, and official results from the government that began trickling in appeared to back up the claim.

Her party said today it has won 44 of the 45 lower seats for Yangon in Myanmar’s parliamentary elections.

The National League for Democracy announced today that it has also swept the upper house, winning all 12 seats for Yangon, Myanmar’s biggest city.

The results were not confirmed by the government’s Election Commission, which has been releasing the results at a slow place. However, the NLD has posted representatives at counting centers who are able to give an accurate tally.

Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and pro-democracy icon, urged supporters of the opposition National League of Democracy

party not to provoke losing rivals who mostly represent the former junta that ruled this Southeast Asian nation for a half-century.

The NLD had won about 70 percent of the votes counted by midday today, party spokesman Win Htein said. The comments, if confirmed by official results from Sunday’s general election, indicate that Suu Kyi’s party would not only dominate Parliament, but could also secure the presidency despite handicaps built into the constitution.

“We will win a landslide,” Nyan Win, another party spokesman, told The Associated Press.

“I want Mother Suu to win in this election,” said Ma Khine, a street vendor, referring to the 70-year-old Suu Kyi with an affectionate term many here use. “She has the skill to lead the country. I respect her so much. I love her. She will change our country in a very good way.”

Anticipating an imminent victory, more than 1,000 people gathered in front of the NLD headquarters in Yangon, many wearing red party Tshirts with the slogan “We Must Win” Continued on Page 10

Congress evading war powers even with Syria mission

By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

WASHINGTON— In the battle against the Islamic State group, members of Congress talk tough against extremism, but many want to run for cover when it comes to voting on new war powers to fight the militants, preferring to let the president own the battle.

They might not be able to run for long.

The U.S. military intervention in Iraq and Syria is creeping forward, putting more pressure on Congress to vote on a new Authorization for the Use of Military Force. It would be the first war vote in Congress in 13 years.

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., a leading force in the Senate for a new authorization, said the reluctance to vote runs deep and that many in Congress prefer to criticize President Barack Obama’s policy in Iraq and Syria without either authorizing or stopping the fight.

“There is sort of this belief that if we do not vote, we cannot be held politically ac-

countable. We can just blame the president,” Kaine said.

“We are forcing people to be deployed far from home in a theater of war, and risking their lives and losing their lives and members of Congress are like ‘I’m afraid of this vote because somebody might try to hold me accountable for it.’”

The vote in 2002 to authorize the invasion of Iraq was politically perilous for many lawmakers — and is shadowing 2016 presidential candidates today.

“I know lawmakers who still go over to Arlington Cemetery — to the gravesites of folks killed in the Iraq War and wonder ‘Why did I vote for this?’” Kaine said.

Fellow Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut agreed, saying crafting a plan to fight IS isn’t easy. “It’s very convenient for Congress just to force the president to do it and blame him if it fails,” Murphy said. “If we pass an AUMF, then we own the strategy.”

To fight IS, Obama has relied on congressional authorizations given to President George W. Bush for the war

SEN. CHRIS MURPHY ... D-Connecticut

on al-Qaida and the invasion of Iraq. Critics say the White House’s use of post-9/11 congressional authorizations is a legal stretch at best. And they note that the battle has grown exponentially.

Since August 2014, the U.S.-led coalition has conducted nearly 8,000 airstrikes in Iraq and Syria. There are 3,400 U.S. military personnel currently deployed to Iraq.

More than $4.7 billion has been spent so far in fighting IS. The exodus of refugees from Syria has intensified and Russia has entered the conflict.

“I think we are seeing an

example of mission creep right now,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., who signed the letter calling for a new AUMF. “I think we should go ahead. We are gradually ceding over our war-making authority to the president. Big mistake. No matter which side you are on, you ought to want Congress to do this.

And you ought to be able to hold your member accountable for how they ultimately vote.”

After President Barack Obama announced late last month that he was deploying some 50 Special Operations forces to northern Syria, law-

makers released a flurry of statements urging passage of new war powers legislation.

On Friday, a bipartisan group of 35 House members called on new Speaker Paul Ryan to schedule and debate on a war authorization as quickly as possible in light of the United States’ “deepening entanglement in Syria and Iraq.”

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, has asked the Obama administration to brief committee members as early as next week on the legal justifications for recent deployments to Syria and elsewhere.

Generally, conservatives want Congress to approve broad authorities for the president to fight IS militants with no limits on ground troops. They say banning U.S. combat troops or restricting the fight to just Iraq and Syria only emboldens the militants, who would seek safe haven elsewhere. Other lawmakers want to give the president authority to train and equip local forces and conduct airstrikes but not launch a

combat mission on the ground.

In February, the administration proposed a threeyear authorization to fight IS, unrestricted by national borders. The fight could be extended to any “closely related successor entity” to the IS extremists, but the measure did not authorize large-scale ground operations.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said Obama’s proposal was “nonsense” because the White House knew it would get no real support on Capitol Hill.

“He just throws something over the transom and says ‘Hey, good luck guys.’ He’s not serious.”

After Obama sent over his draft of a new AUMF, 30 members of the House asked former Speaker John Boehner to bring it up for debate and a vote. Instead, Boehner suggested the president rip it up and start over.

“Congress only has itself to blame,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. “The administration offered a draft that Congress didn’t like, but Congress can amend it.”

Homelessness in Hawaii grows, defying paradise image

By CATHY BUSSEWITZ Associated Press

HONOLULU — Two days before the city planned to dismantle her sidewalk home, Kionina Kaneso had no idea where she and her daughter and grandchildren would sleep.

A full-time fast-food worker, Kaneso had bad experiences at shelters before and was hesitant to live in another, ending up instead in one of the nation’s largest homeless encampments. Desperate, she decided to try one again.

But there was no more space for families.

“Where can I go?” Kaneso asked.

Homelessness in Hawaii has grown in recent years, leaving the state with 487 homeless per 100,000 people, the nation’s highest rate per capita, above New York and Nevada, according to federal statistics. Since 2010, the rise has come even as the national rate has fallen during the economic recovery.

The increase, driven by years of rising costs in the island chain, low wages and limited land, thrust the image of people sleeping on beaches alongside the state’s famed one of a relaxing tropical paradise.

Officials have tried to solve the problem. They’ve offered homeless services, banned sitting and lying on Waikiki’s sidewalks and proposed using shipping containers as temporary housing. Gov. David Ige’s declaration of a state of emergency on homelessness in October underscored the depth of the crisis: • While there are shelters and programs to help the homeless, there are far fewer empty beds than are needed — about 550 on any given night on Oahu, where an estimated 4,900 of the 7,620 homeless people live, according to service providers.

• The state needs 27,000

A HOMELESS man drank water while sitting on the beach in August at Ala Moana Beach Park near Waikiki in Honolulu. affordable rental units by 2020, but lawmakers set aside enough money for 800 units this year. Maintaining the existing public housing could cost $800 million over the next decade, according to state estimates.

• Statewide, 10,000 people wait five years or more to get into state-run public housing, and the waiting list for Section 8 rent assistance in private housing was so long, they closed the list for about a decade.

• The state’s population of unsheltered families ballooned 46 percent from 2014 to 2015, said Scott Morishige, state coordinator on homelessness. He said changes in public housing policy and mental health services contributed to the rise. A survey by service providers in August of Kaneso’s encampment found that 42 percent of the nearly 300 people were families.

Kaneso is among the many Micronesians who moved to Hawaii in recent years as part of an agreement their nations have with the U.S. government allowing them to

NEW YORK (AP) — Family members, fellow officers and friends said farewell to a New York City police lieutenant who died of cancer 14 years after she worked at ground zero following the Sept. 11 attacks.

Funeral services were held Sunday for Lt. Marci Simms, 51, of Long Island. She died of lung cancer at her home on Thursday.

Relatives said Simms was one of the thousands of first respon-

work and live in the country.

They come for medical care, education and job opportunities.

Kaneso arrived in 2004 and worked odd jobs as a dishwasher and assembly line worker to pay for her son’s flight to Hawaii so he could get medical treatment for a heart condition.

While the state doesn’t have a breakdown by race of the overall homeless population, data on homeless shelter use show that 30 percent were Hawaiian or partHawaiian, 27 percent Micronesian, Marshallese or other Pacific Islanders, and 26 percent white.

Micronesians say they face language barriers and discrimination. For Native Hawaiians, some of whom see the U.S. government as an occupier since a group of mainlanders overthrew the queen and took over their land, the influx of other Pacific Islanders using services adds insult to injury.

“We should be helped first, because we really are suffering,” said Deja-Lynn Rombawa-Quarles, a Native

ders who worked at ground zero. They said she spent more than four months doing rescue, recovery and cleanup work among the smoldering rubble, and later became ill.

In a project produced by Stony Brook University School of Journalism last year, Simms talked about the conditions at ground zero, CBS New York reported. “It was smoky,” she said of the air. “You felt like it was just burning your throat.”

Hawaiian and camp resident.

The city tried to create a temporary safe zone in 2006 where the homeless could camp legally, but complaints ensued, so it ended up closing the park every night.

Many of the homeless moved into hotel garages and walkways near Waikiki Beach.

Then the city banned sitting and lying down on sidewalks, a move backed by the Hyatt Regency, Hilton Worldwide and other major resorts, which generate much of Waikiki’s $6.8 billion in annual tourism revenue, nearly half of all visitor spending in Hawaii.

The hotels saw fewer homeless people, who then moved into other neighborhoods, prompting more complaints.

“People cannot camp and take over parts of our city and state property that has been built and designed for everyone, not one specific group,” said Mayor Kirk Caldwell, after a group meeting on homelessness in September.

“It’s not safe.”

Honolulu spends $15,000 a

As Simms became increasing sick, she was cared for by her husband, Keith. Her medical costs were covered under the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. Simms joined the New York Police Department in 1998 after graduating from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. She worked in Manhattan and Brooklyn before joining the 107th Precinct in Queens in 2013.

week to sweep away the camps. During the sweeps, families lost possessions like the wood they use to build their structures, found furniture and clothes. Some have filed a lawsuit against the raids.

Service providers say 40 percent of Hawaii’s homeless people are working at least part time, 30 percent need some housing assistance and 30 percent have mental health or substance abuse problems that prevent them from maintaining a home.

Kaneso’s job at a McDonald’s nets her $8.75 an hour, but it doesn’t come close to what she needs to pay rent in a market where a two-bedroom apartment goes for $1,800 a month.

Honolulu officials have set aside at least $16.8 million for services and to secure apartments for homeless people in 2015, including plans to develop units out of shipping containers to temporarily house transients on Sand Island and the Waianae Coast.

City officials also are backing at least $32 million in bonds to finance other housing for homeless people.

Kaneso, who lived with a sister in public housing but left because she didn’t want to get her in trouble, has been on a waiting list for Section 8 assistance since 2006, and found out she made it to the top 250 last year.

In September, after violent incidents raised the profile of Kaneso’s encampment, city and state officials began gradually clearing tents again; this time giving plenty of warning, hoping people would voluntarily leave.

Kaneso had left a shelter for the streets after workers during one stay threw away her belongings.

On the morning of the sweep, after hours of uncertainty, Kaneso and her family got into a shelter, but she didn’t want to stay long. She’s one of thousands of people on the public housing waiting list.

“What is the use for us, to keep telling us to wait this long?” Kaneso said.

OBITUARIES Walter Laude Walter R. Laude went to be with the Lord peacefully on Friday, Nov. 6, 2015, while surrounded by his wife and three children.

Walter was born the youngest son of the late Victor and Marie Malzahn Laude in Chicago in 1944.

His vast education includes high school in St. Nazianz, Wis. (1962); college at Mt. St. Paul College Salvatorian Seminary in Waukesha, Wis. (1962-64); Mt. St. Mary’s College in Norwood, Ohio (196566); and Maryknoll College in Glen Ellen, Ill. (1966-67).

Further education included Saint Meinrad Seminary School of Theology in Saint Meinrad, Ind. (1967-68), and St. Louis University School of Divinity in St. Louis (196869). He also received a Master of Science degree in education from Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., in 1971; a Master of Arts degree in Christian education at Scarritt College for Christian workers in Nashville, Tenn., in 1972; and a Masters of Library Science at George Peabody College in Nashville in 1979.

Walter worked as a media specialist at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, Tenn., from 1973 to 1979 and at Indiana University of Pennsylvania as a media resources librarian from 1979 to 2005.

‘Massacre’ film killer Hansen dies at 68

Continued from Page 1 coaches locking arms. The tweet said: “The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players.”

Practice and other team activities were canceled Sunday, Pinkel and Missouri athletic director Mack Rhoades said in a joint statement. The statement linked the return of the protesting football players to the end of a hunger strike by a black graduate student who began the effort Nov. 2 and has vowed to not eat until Wolfe is gone.

“Our focus right now is on the health of Jonathan Butler, the concerns of our student-athletes and working with our community to address this serious issue,” the statement said.

The protests began after the student government president, who is black, said in September that people in a passing pickup truck shouted racial slurs at him.

In early October, members of a black student organization said slurs were hurled at them by an apparently drunken white student.

Also, a swastika drawn in feces was found recently in a dormitory bathroom.

Many of the protests have been led by an organization called Concerned Student 1950, which gets its name from the year the university accepted its first black student.

Its members besieged

Wolfe’s car at the parade, and they have been conducting a sit-in on a campus plaza since last Monday.

Two trucks flying Confederate flags drove past the site Sunday afternoon, a move many saw as an attempt at intimidation. At least 150 students gathered at the plaza Sunday night to pray, sing and read Bible verses, a larger crowd than on previous days. Many planned to camp there overnight, despite temperatures that had dropped into the upper 30s.

Also joining in the protest effort are two graduate student groups that called for walkouts today and Tuesday.

Concerned Student 1950 has demanded, among other things, that Wolfe “acknowledge his white male privilege,” that he is immediately removed, and that the school adopt a mandatory racial-awareness program and hire more black faculty and staff.

One of the sit-in participants, Abigail Hollis, a black undergraduate, said the campus is “unhealthy and unsafe for us.”

“The way white students are treated is in stark contrast to the way black students and other marginalized students are treated, and it’s time to stop that,” Hollis said. “It’s 2015.”

Columbia is about 120 miles west of Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb where tensions erupted over the shooting death of unarmed

black 18-year-old Michael Brown last year by a white police officer.

The school’s undergraduate population is 79 percent white and 8 percent black.

The state is about 83 percent white and nearly 12 percent black.

Wolfe, 56, is a former software executive and Missouri business school graduate whose father taught at the university. He was hired in 2011 as president, succeeding another former business executive who also lacked experience in academia.

He said Sunday that most of the group’s demands have already been incorporated into the university’s draft plan for promoting tolerance.

“It is clear to all of us that change is needed,” he said.

Already, at Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin’s request, the university announced plans to require diversity training for all new students starting in January, along with faculty and staff.

Lawmakers and elected officials began to weigh in Sunday.

The chairman of a Missouri House higher education committee, Poplar Bluff Republican Rep. Steven Cookson, said in a statement that Wolfe “can no longer effectively lead” and should leave his post. Joining him in calling for Wolfe’s resignation was Assistant House Minority Leader Gail McCann Beatty, the highest-

ranking black member of that chamber.

Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon said the university must address the concerns so that the school is “a place where all students can pursue their dreams in an environment of respect, tolerance and inclusion.”

U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri graduate, said the governing board needs to “send a clear message” to the students at the Columbia campus that they’ll address racism.

The Board of Curators, the system’s governing body, said in a statement that it planned to meet this morning.

According to an agenda, part of the meeting will be closed to the public.

Missouri law allows the group to meet in a private “executive session” to discuss topics including privileged communications with university counsel or personnel matters, the statement said. A system spokesman didn’t respond to questions about the meeting.

The racial issues are just the latest controversy at the university in recent months, following the suspension of graduate students’ health care subsidies and an end to university contracts with a Planned Parenthood clinic that performs abortions.

Associated Press writer Ralph D. Russo in New York contributed to this report.

DISTRICT COURT DOCKET The following defendants have been named in criminal charges filed before Magisterial District Judge Susanne Steffee, of Homer City.

Criminal complaints and affidavits of probable cause are not evidence of guilt in a criminal case.

Defendants are entitled to legal representation and have the right to question the witnesses and evidence presented against them during preliminary hearings in the district court and at trials in the county court of common pleas.

Named were: • Kenneth J. Arthurs, 53, Philadelphia Street, Indiana, charged Sept. 29 by an Indiana County detective for a misdemeanor charge of writing bad checks.

Records show that Arthurs, the owner of Wolfendale’s Pub & Club and Grubs Sports Bar, wrote a check in the amount of $2,000 to H&R Block at the Indiana Mall on June 30. A notice was sent through certified mail in August that the check had not been accepted, but the notice was returned unclaimed from the post office.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for today.

• Amy E. Hagerman, 35, Hill Street, Aultman, charged Sept. 29 by state police with three misdemeanor charges for driving under the influence, fourth offense; habitual offense;

and driving while operating privilege is suspended or revoked, second offense. She was also given 11 summary charges.

According to police, an officer was called to the scene when someone reported an abandoned, overturned vehicle along Route 286 West.

Hagerman was found onefourth a mile up the road, and she told the officer a deer had run out in front of her and she went off the embankment.

Hagerman showed several signs of intoxication, according to the records, and she was taken to Indiana Regional Medical Center for blood testing that showed she was driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.18 percent.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 7.

• Evan M. Boring, 23, Bellefonte Street, Northern Cambria, charged Oct. 10 by state police with a misdemeanor DUI and three summary charges.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for today.

• Todd E. Quidetto, 41, Cornell Avenue, Blairsville, charged Oct. 1 by state police with a misdemeanor DUI and six

summary charges.

Records show that an officer responded to a two-vehicle crash on Sept. 9 along Route 119 in Center Township where both operators were transported to IRMC before his arrival. He went to the hospital to interview them both and noticed that Quidetto had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. Blood testing was sent to be tested

by Greensburg Regional Laboratory.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for today.

• Waylon J. Strange, 34, Creekview Lane, Spring Church, charged Oct. 1 by state police with a misdemeanor charge of retail theft.

According to police, an employee at Sears in the Indiana Mall witnessed a male walk out of the automotive department with two Dewalt kits he hadn’t paid for.

The license on the vehicle he drove off in matched that of Strange’s girlfriend, police said.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 14.

• Stephen C. Smithula, 39, Waterman Road, Homer City, charged Nov. 8 by state police with a misdemeanor charge of theft by unlawful taking or disposition.

Police said that the victim, Diletta Poprich, came into the station to report that $305 worth of jewelry had been stolen from her house around the same dates that she allowed Smithula, her

godson, to stay with her. An officer checked with Cash For Gold and Treasure Hunt and found transactions for at least eight rings and other items of jewelry sold by Smithula.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 16.

• Adam P. Hoover, 35, Nixon Avenue, Indiana, charged Nov. 13 by state police with a misdemeanor charge of theft by unlawful taking.

Records show that an officer was dispatched Sept. 24 to Hoover’s mother’s house on Whirlpool Road in Indiana after she reported a theft of her 13-inch Samsung tablet. She told officers Hoover had keys to her house and frequently stopped in. A neighbor said she saw Hoover leaving the residence around the time of the theft.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 16.

• Mitchell D. Fox, 20, Spring Street, Blairsville, charged Nov. 13 by state police with a misdemeanor DUI and five summary charges.

Police said an officer conducted a traffic stop after witnessing Fox weaving within his lane of travel along Route 119 on Aug. 23.

He admitted to having consumed a few drinks and was taken to IRMC for blood testing that showed he had a BAC of 0.20 percent.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 16.

Drought drives bears into Calif. towns

By BRIAN MELLEY Associated Press

By The Associated Press Gunnar Hansen, who played the iconic villain Leatherface in the original “Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” died Saturday of pancreatic cancer at his home in Maine, his agent said. He was 68.

Hansen starred in the 1974 film that has become a classic among horror-movie aficionados and spawned a series of sequels. In the movie, friends visiting their grandfather’s house are hunted by Leatherface, a chain-saw wielding maniac.

Hansen’s character in the movie “is one of the most iconic evil figures in the history of cinema,” said his agent, Mike Eisenstadt, who confirmed the death.

In 2013, Hansen published a book, “Chain Saw Confidential,” which gave readers a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was made, Eisenstadt said.

Hansen lived in Maine for about 40 years, where he worked as an actor and writer, Eisenstadt said.

At the time of his death, Hansen was at work on a film called “Death House,” his

Protests grow after athletes make stand

THREE RIVERS, Calif. — Tourists and animal lovers hoping to see a bear in Sequoia National Park this fall probably stand a better chance of spotting one in this tiny town at the park’s entrance.

Three Rivers is crawling with hungry bears driven down from the mountains by drought in search of food to fatten up for winter.

Everyone seems to have photos of the creatures on their phones or anecdotes of encounters.

Chas Haws’ eyes bugged out as he recalled his surprise coming face to face with a bear before dawn as he walked to Antoinette’s Coffee and Goodies shop along the main road one day.

He carefully stepped back as the bear reared up and then walked away.

“He didn’t care about me at all,” Haws said. “I didn’t smell like a muffin — yet.”

There’s no doubt a bear invasion is afoot in this town of 2,200 that is home to an eclectic mix of park employees, cattle ranchers, hippies, yuppies and artists, as well as a retreat for Los Angeles types that include Anjelica Huston and William Shatner.

Most seem delighted by the visiting black bears —

many brown and cinnamon in color — lumbering through grasslands, trotting across roads or wading through rivers.

The four-year drought shriveled the berry crop in the Sierra Nevada and oaks on parched hillsides produced fewer acorns, forcing the bears into the valleys carved by the branches of the Kaweah River that give this town its name.

Water is plentiful and acorns carpet the ground.

Gregory Lockhart had seen one bear in 27 years until this season. Now they’re fixtures on the golf course out his back door and have been witnessed by the pool of a guest house.

“The park is upon us now,” he said.

One resident suggested on a town Facebook forum that people with guests seeking bears not bother winding up the road to the park. Others chimed in with suggestions of where to find them.

A crowd formed recently outside the River View restaurant to gawk at a bear up a tree.

Bears have climbed on roofs for acorns and one was found exploring a bathroom under renovation in a house.

A bear tore apart the outer walls of a resident’s pump house and a music studio to get at acorns a woodpecker had stowed in the siding.

Quiet nights are interrupt-

ed by air horns, banging on pots or a gunshot to scare off creatures known to forage 20 hours a day as they prepare for long winter naps.

But some wonder if those shots are innocent.

Jeff Beck heard dogs barking in the middle of the night followed by gunfire.

“People are shooting the bears, there’s no doubt,” he said.

The Kaweah Commonwealth reported that bears have been illegally slaughtered, but game wardens dismissed it as far-fetched because of a lack of evidence, such as names of suspects, vehicle descriptions or dead bears, said Lt. Doug Barnhart.

The account, however, has sown conflict between nature lovers and those who think it’s a tall tale.

“I’m upset and sad and I just question, ‘Why?’” said Kathleen McCleary, who noted a sense of outrage in some circles.

“I don’t see any reason to be shooting them.”

Darrell Fleeman was so disgusted with the story that he yanked his auto repair shop ad from the newspaper.

“Where’s the proof?” he said. “If that were the case, there’d be dead bears everywhere.”

State game wardens haven’t had as many complaints as last season in this

area of Central California when bears made it to the San Joaquin Valley cities of Visalia, Porterville and Bakersfield, Barnhart said.

Residents have legally killed bears that broke into cabins and cars in Springville and Camp Nelson, about 25 miles south.

In Three Rivers, they have knocked over plenty of garbage cans and raided fruit trees and grape vines.

They did a number on the apple orchard at Shatner’s Belle Reve ranch, said caretaker Sal Natoli, who said he got a depredation permit to kill the culprits, but didn’t use it during the two-week period it was valid.

The trees look “just like Venus de Milo,” the armless ancient Greek statue, Natoli said.

Bear hunting season runs until Dec. 27 or when a statewide limit of 1,700 bears is killed.

The state hasn’t come close to that figure since dogs were outlawed in the hunt in 2013.

Gunfire may not be the biggest challenge for the bears at this point.

If they don’t pack on enough pounds, they won’t return to the mountains to den for the winter, said David Graber, former chief scientist for the National Park Service for the West Coast, and a longtime Three Rivers resident.

WEDDINGS

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE Taking care of hardwood floors can be challenging given the everyday conditions of a family and pets. But keeping your home looking crisp is crucial to maintaining your home’s value and what is likely your biggest investment.

Generally there are two types of residential wood flooring: real wood and laminates that are man-made to look like wood.

Don’t know what you have exactly? No worries. When it comes to cleaning wood floors (real or fake) the only thing you Email need to figure questions or out is whether or tips to not your floors mary@every have a finish. You daycheap don’t really need skate.com or to know the type Everyday of finish, just Cheapskate, that the floors 12340 Seal have been treatBeach Blvd., ed in some way Suite B-416, to make them reSeal Beach, CA sistant to stand90740. ing water, which is the enemy of all wood and wood-like floors.

To find out if your flooring is finished, drop a single drop of water on the floor. If it beads and just sits there, the flooring has been finished; if the drop of water soaks in and disappears leaving a dark spot, the wood it not finished.

If your flooring does not have a finish you can stop reading now.

What follows is for finished real wood and laminate flooring only.

When it comes to wood and laminate cleaners, you can spend a fortune on commercial products like Bona and Black Diamond — or you can make your own for pennies. When it comes to cleaning floors, you need to have the commitment of a physician: first, do no harm. The trick is making a product that will clean well without harming the finish.

NO VINEGAR: White vinegar is a fabulous cleaning product. But it is highly acidic, and over time it will attack the finish on your wood or laminate floors by dulling the finish. It can also soften the finish, making it feel gummy or sticky. So let’s just agree that when it comes to cleaning wood or laminate floors, no vinegar.

YES ALCOHOL: Alcohol is a fantastic cleaning product — rubbing alcohol, denatured alcohol, even gin or vodka. Alcohol is also a disinfectant, as you know from visiting a doctor’s office or hospital.

The odor of rubbing alcohol is unmistakable. The great thing about alcohol is that like water, is has a nearly neutral pH — neither acidic nor alkaline. This makes alcohol the perfect ingredient in your homemade cleaner to both to protect and preserve beautifully finished wood and laminate floors.

THE RECIPE: One part rubbing alcohol (or your alcohol of choice) to four parts distilled water plus ½ teaspoon blue Dawn dishwashing liquid. You want to use distilled water (available in any supermarket) to eliminate streaking, hard watermarks and mineral buildup. The very small amount of Dawn will break the surface tension of the water, making the cleaner much more effective — but not require rinsing. Mix this up in a spray bottle each time you clean the floors. Or if you make it up ahead, be sure to label it well and keep it out of the reach of children.

APPLICATOR: Spray, scrub and immediately wipe the area dry with a microfiber cloth. Do not soak a large area and allow it to just sit there. The secret is to spray, clean and wipe dry. I highly recommend a hardwood floor spray mop for both wood and laminate floors: it has a removable bottle that lets you make your own cleaner and a large surface mop with even bigger detachable microfiber cleaning pad that swivels for really easy handling.

MAINTENANCE: At least twice a week you need to vacuum or sweep your wood or laminate floors to remove the real enemies here: dirt, sand, grit, pebbles and grime. It comes in on your shoes and gets ground into the finish and surface of your beautiful floors every time you and the kids walk on them. Make sure the vacuum you use has a hard floor attachment (not just a setting for hard floors) or you might as well not even bother. You can be sure my Shark Navigator Pro vacuum (www.everydaycheapskate. com/sharkvacuum) has that attachment plus a washable microfiber pad that acts like a dirt and dust magnet. Every two weeks, clean and scrub the floors with your homemade cleaner and a good mop that cleans and wipes the floor nearly dry in a single effort.

What’s wrong with white men?

M

iddle-aged white American males are dying in droves.

The culprits? Suicide and drug- and alcohol-related ailments. That’s according to a new study by Princeton University economists Angus Deaton and Anne Case.

Deaton and Case found that the mortality rate among whites ages 45 to 54 with no more than a high school education increased by 134 deaths per 100,000 people from 1999 to 2014.

“Only H.I.V./AIDS in contemporary times has done any- Ben Boychuk, left, associate editor of thing like this,” the Manhattan Institute’s City Deaton told the Journal, is a conservative with a New York Times. contrarian streak; Joel Mathis, Has America beassociate editor for Philadelphia come too inhosMagazine, is a liberal with a pitable to workinglibertarian streak. Red-Blue America is class whites? Are distributed by McClatchy-Tribune there policy soluNews Service. tions? Or is this cultural rot? Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis, the Red-Blue America columnists, weigh in.

RED-BLUE AMERICA

BEN BOYCHUK Let’s get one point out of the way, because somebody will suggest it: No, Barack Obama isn’t solely to blame for the rising suicide rate among middle-aged whites.

It’s true that the decline in labor force participation has reached record highs during Obama’s tenure. Right now, about 20 million working-age Americans are unemployed and don’t want a job. But this is a problem that extends beyond a single presidential administration or mere red-blue political divisions. If you delve into Deaton and Case’s study, you’ll find a host of factors involved in the rising mortality rate. Personal and financial stress is a big one, obviously. But they also point to a three-decade rise in disability claims.

More and more people say they are too sick to work.

And if you look at the past 15 years, the picture becomes clearer. In 1999, 8 percent of those in their early 50s cited disability as their primary reason for not working. By 2014, it was 11 percent. And the trend line shows no sign of turning downward.

What happens to a society in which subsisting on government disability payments becomes normal? Well, we’re getting a taste of it now.

So why not reform the disability insurance system, maybe tighten up some of the criteria, and weed out the usual “waste, fraud and abuse” that we’re so fond of blaming?

Because the problem isn’t just a government program or even the welfare state; it’s a profound shift in the culture and the whole global economy.

A high school diploma is worthless, and many college degrees are headed that direction. Family disintegration remains widespread. Religion, once a source of community support, continues to wane as more Americans identify themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” And pop culture is a wasteland. Nihilism is in the very air we breathe.

When you have nothing to believe in but yourself, and you’re life is a misery, then it’s hardly surprising that many men — unemployed, childless, aimless — turn to booze, drugs, video games, porn or whatever else dulls the pain.

Our problem isn’t just a lack of meaningful work. It’s the lack of meaning, period. Does anyone really think overhauling the tax code or expanding the welfare state can fix that?

JOEL MATHIS No, Barack Obama isn’t responsible for the rising death rate among middle-aged whites. But Ronald Reagan might be.

It was under Reagan, after all, that a staggering rise in income inequality among Americans became more pronounced and stayed that way. Simply put: For more than 30 years, the rich among us have been getting richer while the rest of us have been treading water, financially. That widening gap can be attributed, in large part, to a series of Republicanled policy innovations since the Gipper, including massive tax cuts for the rich and laws that make it more difficult for unions to organize and represent the interests of workers.

Now, the standard Republican response when Democrats mention this is to accuse Democrats of “envy” or of perpetrating “class warfare.” What they ignore, though, is that inequality isn’t just a source of jealousy — it has tangible effects on public health.

In March, for example, The New York Times reported on a University of Wisconsin study which showed that people were more likely to die before the age of 75 in counties where income inequality is more pronounced.

“The researchers think that places where wealthy residents can essentially buy their way out of social services may have less cohesion and investment in things like education and public health that we know affect life span,” the Times reported. “There is also literature suggesting that it’s stressful to live among people who are wealthier than you. That stress may translate into mental health problems or cardiac disease for lower-income residents of unequal places.”

So policy affects income inequality. Income inequality then turns around and affects policy. (If rich people don’t need that public hospital, it’s less likely to get built.) And policy affects lifespans. In the meantime, the rich blame the poor for being poor — or for living lives that lack “meaning” — and get off the hook for creating a world that’s more difficult for the rest of us to live in.

It’s tougher than ever to get ahead in America. If the strain affects our health, is that really any big surprise?

Dick’s gone nuts.”

The sad part is, they probably now agree on Cheney, whom W. has distanced himself from, and Rumsfeld, fired by W. in the second term.

Far from shrinking away from his twilight unburdening to a sympathetic biographer — even though it severely complicates life for Jeb, who is sinking in dynasty quicksand — 41 seems eager to get the belated word out. His office in Houston is helpfully sending out bulletins about where Meacham is appearing on his book tour, including a signing hosted by H.W.’s library at A&M University.

At Yale, in military service and in politics, W. chafed at his father’s shadow.

He drifted, drank and became what James Baker jokingly described to Meacham as “a juvenile delinquent, damn near.” He labored under the disapproval of his father. When he sobered up and found his path in politics, he presented himself as the heir of Ronald Reagan, not his own father.

That had to hurt, but Poppy kept it to himself.

W. BECAME PRESIDENT by using his dad as a reverse playbook.

That had to hurt, but Poppy kept it to himself.

In the White House, Cheney brought in his old mentor, Rumsfeld, who had schemed against Bush senior and belittled him as a flighty preppy. W. went along with Cheney and appointed his father’s nemesis defense secretary, without asking 41’s advice about it. It was like hothead Sonny Corleone going over to the Tattaglia family.

That had to hurt, but Poppy kept it to himself.

As a young man, W. once got drunk, drove back to the family home in Washington, plowed his car into a neighbor’s garbage can and then challenged his disappointed father to go “mano a mano.”

Now the father, in belatedly putting W. over his knee, has taught the son the meaning of the phrase. If only it could have happened face to face.

War, sacrifice and America’s veterans

W

hile we can all rejoice this Veterans Day that the steady flow of U.S. casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan has slowed to a trickle, we must never forget the incredible sacrifice that America’s defenders continue to make on our behalf.

Such is the case of Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler, who died leading a Delta Force rescue mission of ISIS hostages held in Iraq on Oct. 22.

A veteran of 14 combat deployments, his sacrifice is shared by four boys who are now fatherless and his wife, who became a widow far too early. But another important part of his legacy are the 70 hostages who were spared brutal executions by an enemy that is as ruthless as any that America has faced.

The willingness to face pain and death so others can be spared isn’t unique to just the fallen. Consider the case of two American veterans and their longtime friend when they bravely stopped a terrorist attack aboard a train bound for Paris this summer.

There are many ways to thank the men and women who have served in our armed forces, but I cannot think of a better method of showing gratitude than to hire one. Employers who make this smart decision will usually benefit from the discipline, skills and loyalty that are found abundantly in today’s military.

Isn’t it likely that people who have survived firefights in Afghanistan can handle whatever tasks are thrown their way at the office without too much stress?

My old classmate, C. Hughes Clark, summed up the humble nature of most veterans. “I can say without regret that I wouldn’t have done anything different through it all, simply because it has given me a sense of accomplishment that I couldn’t have accomplished any other way.”

Two trains derail in Wis. in two days WATERTOWN, Wis. (AP) — A Canadian Pacific Railway train derailed Sunday, spilling hundreds of gallons of crude oil and prompting evacuations in Wisconsin, the second day in a row a freight train derailed in the state.

Thirteen cars of an eastbound CP train went off the tracks around 2 p.m. in Watertown, in the southeastern part of the state, the railroad said. One tank car was punctured and leaked oil.

No fires or injuries were reported.

The incident came a day after a freight train derailed near Alma in western Wisconsin, spilling thousands of gallons of ethanol. BNSF Railway said crews continued Sunday to transfer ethanol from the derailed cars and get the cars back on the tracks.

The BNSF train derailed at 8:45 a.m. Saturday about two miles north of Alma, a town along the Mississippi River.

Nightclub fire toll climbs to 46 BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A popular television editor and photographer died today after succumbing to burns from the nightclub fire in Bucharest, raising the death toll in the tragedy to 46, a television station reported.

ProTV news said Teodora Maftei died today at a hospital in Israel from burns suffered in the Oct. 30 fire.

Maftei, 36, was also a blogger and well-known photographer and was covering the heavy-metal concert at the Colectiv basement club when the fire erupted after a spark from a pyrotechnics show ignited foam decor.

After the fire, a Bucharest restaurant exhibited 23 photos she took in London in August to raise money for her treatment.

Raed Arafat, an emergency situations official, said today that 10 patients have been safely transported to Britain and Norway for treatment.

Thirteen people died over the weekend.

Noodles back on shelves in India NEW DELHI (AP) — Maggi noodles are back on shelves in India five months after the popular snack was found to contain lead above permissible limits.

The Indian unit of Swiss food company Nestle said today that samples of newly made Maggi instant noodles had been cleared for consumption by three foodtesting laboratories in India.

Maggi has been reintroduced in 100 cities and towns across India and will be made available soon in more states, said Nestle India Chairman and Managing Director Suresh Narayanan.

Maggi noodles are a hugely popular snack among school and college students and young working people in India.

Ring lost in ’79 returned to woman CHELSEA, Mich. (AP) — A 36-year-old mystery about a ring lost at a movie theater has been solved with some simple high-tech sleuthing.

Eddie Johnson, of Davison, returned the ring last week to Deborah Durden, of Chelsea. He found it in 1979 when he was working at a theater at the Genesee Valley mall.

Durden graduated from Churchill High School in Livonia in 1975.

Johnson told The Ann Arbor News that he checked www.classmates.com and found four people from that class with initials that are on the ring.

Johnson also discovered that Durden had written about her lost ring on the website. He then found her phone number, contacted her and returned the ring.

Durden is thankful and said, “I’m going to always be wearing it.”

Americans among 3 slain in Jordan AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — A Jordanian policeman opened fire today on foreign trainers at a police compound, killing two Americans and a South African before being shot dead, a government spokesman said.

The shooter also wounded two Americans and four Jordanians, one of them critically, said the spokesman, Mohammed Momani.

The motive was not immediately clear. Momani described the shooter as an “attacker” and said he committed a “crime,” but did not say whether authorities considered the fatal shooting a terror attack.

The shooting, at a police training camp on the outskirts of the Jordanian capital, raises questions about Jordan’s image as an island of relative

stability in a turbulent region.

Over the past year, the pro-Western kingdom has taken on a high-profile role in the fight against extremists, including the Islamic State group, which controls large areas of neighboring Iraq and Syria. There has been concern that militants could carry out revenge attacks on Jordanian soil.

In a statement released by Jordan’s

state news agency, Petra, Momani said an investigation has been launched into “the reasons behind the crime.”

In Washington, there was no immediate response from the Pentagon.

The U.S. Embassy in Jordan said that it is in touch with Jordanian authorities, “who have offered their full support.”

Thousands of Russians depart Egypt

By BRIAN ROHAN Associated Press

CAIRO — Thousands of Russian vacationers were heading home from Egypt today aboard special planes sent by Moscow, which has suspended all flights to Egypt amid security concerns in the aftermath of the Oct. 31 plane crash of a Russian airliner that killed all 224 people onboard.

Other airliners from Britain and Western Europe also are arriving to bring their nationals home, after several countries and airlines last week suspended new flights to Egypt because of the security concerns as suspicions focused on the possibility that a bomb caused the Metrojet crash.

U.S. and British officials have cited intelligence reports as indicating that the Oct. 31 flight from the Sinai resort

town of Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg was brought down by a bomb on board. Most of the 224 people onboard were Russian tourists.

Since the Russian suspension of Egypt flights was announced on Friday, dozens of airliners have been bringing Russian tourists back home, carrying only cabin baggage, while Russian cargo planes are hauling back the rest of their luggage.

Russia’s deputy prime minister, Arkady Dvorkovich, said it would take about two weeks to bring all the stranded Russian tourists back home. Dvorkovich, who has been made the point-man for the repatriation in the wake of the Russian plane crash in Sinai, said earlier in the day 25,000 have already been brought back home since the weekend.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said he does not expect

flights to Egypt to resume any time soon, saying that “it will take time” to ensure safety of travelers in Egypt. He stopped short of giving a timeline for that.

Security concerns over Egyptian procedures have also gained attention in recent days.

Security officials at the Sharm elSheikh airport have told The Associated Press that the facility has long had gaps in security, including a key baggage scanning device that often is not functioning and lax searches at an entry gate for food and fuel for the planes.

In a visit scheduled before the crash, a team from the International Civil Aviation Organization inspected Cairo’s international airport today, with the checks expected to include security and baggage handling.

It was the second day of inspec-

tions for the group, a U.N. specialized agency that aims to support a safe and secure civil aviation sector, which will continue to examine the airport until Thursday.

In Moscow, the Emergency Situations Ministry said in a statement that the authorities will also be bringing over 130 tons of the tourists’ luggage on four cargo planes today.

Egypt’s Ministry of Civil Aviation said that 51 Russian aircraft transferred over 11,000 tourists back to Russia on Saturday from airport in the Red Sea resorts of Sharm elSheikh and Hurgada.

Islamic State extremists have claimed they brought down the Metrojet flight, without offering proof, and said it was in retaliation for Moscow’s airstrikes that began at the end of September against militants in Syria.

Naval missile test off Calif. coast alarms residents

By CHRISTOPHER WEBER Associated Press

MICHAEL STEWART/The Meridian (Miss.) Star

VEHICLES COULD be seen Sunday after a cave-in the previous day of a restaurant parking lot in Meridian, Miss.

Parking lot caves in, swallowing cars MERIDIAN, Miss. (AP) — A cavein of a restaurant parking lot in Mississippi swallowed 12 cars and now experts are expected to begin work today to determine the cause of the weekend collapse, authorities said.

No one was reported injured when the pavement gave way Saturday night, leaving a long gash in the ground into which the vehicles tumbled.

Meridian Public Safety Director Buck Roberts told The Meridian Star that the collapse was not the result of a sinkhole, which is gener-

ally caused when an underground water aquifer dries and leaves a void in the ground.

“You can call it what you want, a cave-in or whatever, but it is not a sinkhole,” Roberts said.

Roberts said engineers and contractors would be on the scene today studying the site.

Emergency crews were called to the IHOP restaurant in Meridian on Saturday evening and found a section of parking lot about 35 feet wide and 400 feet long had collapsed.

Cars, trucks and sport utility ve-

hicles had dropped into the gash in the earth, which appeared to be about 15 feet deep.

News photographs showed one car perched on the rim of the gaping hole.

Gwendolyn Fikes told the newspaper her daughter’s car was one of the vehicles that fell into to the chasm. Fikes said she and her daughter had stopped by the restaurant just minutes earlier when it happened.

“We’d been in there about three minutes,” Fikes said, and they suddenly heard a “boom.”

LOS ANGELES — A bright, colorful light that streaked across the California sky, startling residents and leading to a flurry of calls to law enforcement, turned out to be an unarmed missile test-fired from a Navy submarine off the coast Saturday evening, officials said.

Kevin Stack was walking to dinner with his young son in northeastern Los Angeles when he was stopped in his tracks by what he thought was an especially intense light from a police helicopter — except that it was completely silent.

“It intensified then shot across the dark sky, leaving a green trail,” said Stack, 41.

“Then it fizzled and appeared like a dying dot on an old television screen.”

Stack’s 5-year-old son, Blackstone, was under no illusions about what he had just seen.

“It was an alien,” Blackstone said.

Not quite, said Cmdr. Ryan Perry, a Navy spokesman. Navy Strategic Systems Programs conducted a missile test at sea from the USS Kentucky, a ballistic missile submarine, Perry said in a statement.

The launches are conducted on a frequent basis to ensure the continued reliability of the system. Information about such test launches is classified prior to the launch, he said.

The lack of information about the streak of light just after sunset led to panicked calls to police and lit up social media as people posted photos and video of the celestial sight.

Carson tries to move from questions on past

By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — GOP presidential hopeful Ben Carson says it’s time to move on from questions about the accuracy of his life story. But Tuesday’s GOP debate makes that unlikely.

The retired neurosurgeon said Sunday that questions about discrepancies in his autobiography are distractions from “much more important” matters facing the country and that he’d discuss any “real” scandal uncovered about his past. He strongly disputed any dishonesty or wrongdoing.

“Every single day, every other day or every week, you know, they’re going to come out with, ‘Well, you said this when you were 13,’” Carson said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday.

“The whole point is to distract the populace, to distract me,” he added. “If you’ve got a real scandal, if you’ve got something that’s really important, let’s talk about that.”

Moving on, at least in the short term, is unlikely. The accuracy of Carson’s autobiography has dominated his campaign in the past few

days, and more questions are likely during the GOP presidential debate on Tuesday.

The scrutiny reflects Carson’s transformation from political outsider to the top of the polls in the unsettled nomination fight, second only to billionaire developer Donald Trump. And in early-voting Iowa, some polls show Carson leading.

Trump tried Sunday to keep the allegations alive.

On several news shows, he mentioned examples from Carson’s autobiography, “Gifted Hands,” about Carson’s bad temper when he was young. Carson claimed that he tried to hit his mother with a hammer and unsuccessfully tried to stab someone. Several times, Trump quoted Carson as describing his younger self as having a “pathological” temper — and then demurred on his own opinion of Carson’s character and veracity.

“I just don’t know. I mean, I’m not involved. I don’t really know,” Trump said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Carson insists no other candidate has received the level of scrutiny that he has.

Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” whether he is being

BEN CARSON ... under scrutiny scrutinized more than President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton, Carson replied: “Not like this.

Not even close.”

Scrutiny of one’s past is par for any major candidate for president. Obama’s citizenship was questioned, including by Trump, and the president later released a birth certificate showing he was born in Hawaii. Clinton’s marital dalliances were probed during the 1992 campaign. The Miami Herald staked out then-Sen. Gary Hart’s townhouse in 1987

and caught him in an extramarital affair. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, last month testified about the private email server she kept at her house and used for government business while she was secretary of state.

Carson is a newcomer to presidential politics, so much about his life, career and published works are being raked over for the first time, and his longtime status as an American success story is being examined. Carson strongly disputed that there was any dishonesty intended.

Gone Sunday was the anger he showed during a news conference on Friday, when the usually even-tempered Carson demanded that reporters explain why, in his opinion, Obama had not been subjected to the same level of scrutiny. “My job is to call you out when you’re unfair, and I’m going to continue to do that,” he said.

“Gifted Hands” is central to much of the scrutiny. It tells the story of Carson’s rise from a childhood in innercity Detroit to director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns

Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. In it, he tells of trying to stab a close friend when he was a teenager. CNN reported it could not find friends or confidants to corroborate that story.

Politico published a piece examining Carson’s claim of receiving a scholarship offer to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The Wall Street Journal said it could not confirm Carson’s anecdotes from his high school and college years. The academy does not offer scholarships, instead extending all expenses paid to students it admits. Carson never applied for admission.

Last month, police in Baltimore said they didn’t have enough information to verify Carson’s account of being held at gunpoint at a fastfood restaurant there more than 30 years ago.

In a GOP debate last month, Carson said it was “absolutely absurd” to say he had a formal relationship with the medical supplement company Mannatech.

He is featured in the firm’s videos, including one from last year in which he credits its supplements with helping people restore a healthy diet.

Guest host Donald Trump gives boost to ‘SNL’ ratings

By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — Donald Trump hadn’t gotten far into his opening monologue before trouble occurred. An offscreen heckler interrupted with a cry of “You’re a racist!�

But the “heckler� was comedian Larry David, who before Trump arrived onstage had been seen impersonating Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders. “Larry, what are you doing?� Trump asked with a trace of exasperation. “I heard if I yelled that, they’d give me $5,000,� said David with a shrug, echoing an offer made publicly by one of the Hispanic groups protesting Trump’s appearance. “As a businessman,� Trump told him, “I can fully respect that.�

Trump’s 90 minutes in the “SNL� spotlight followed weeks of growing anticipation, increasingly sharp criticism and mounting calls for him to be dropped from the show.

But the Republican presidential candidate hosted Sat-

urday’s “SNL� as scheduled.

And, at least in NBC’s Studio 8H, there was no more unrest — orchestrated or otherwise.

(Deport Racism, the group that made the $5,000 offer, tweeted that David would get the bounty, “joke or not.�)

Only hours after the broadcast, Trump was back on television and characteristically bullish about his performance, calling it “very well received and probably got very good ratings, who knows.�

Very good, but not spectacular. Preliminary Nielsen ratings measuring households in 56 U.S. markets gave Saturday’s “SNL� its highest rating only since January 2012.

Basketball great Charles Barkley was host that night.

Full results, including viewership figures, will be released Thursday, NBC said.

Trump also told CNN’s “State of the Unionâ€? that some sketches were cut because they were “a little risquĂŠ.â€? He did not go into details.

During his monologue, Trump promised his hosting appearance would be “something special,� while noting that many people had asked

He said they had told him, “You’re brilliant, you’re handsome, you’re rich. The world is waiting for you to be president. Why?�

His answer: “I had nothing better to do.� “But part of the reason I’m here,� he added, “is to show I can take a joke.�

In one sketch, Trump was willing to mock his penchant for tweeting insults about

people with whom he differs. “I hate to break it to you guys,� he told viewers, “but I’m not going to be in the next sketch.�

Instead, off-camera, he live-tweeted comments that were flashed on the screen about “SNL� cast members performing a skit: “Cecily Strong is not a nice person.� “Kate McKinnon was born stupid.�

AP Film Writer

LOS ANGELES — It took the combination of James Bond and Charlie Brown to save the box office after a disastrous few weekends of flops. Both “Spectre� and “The Peanuts Movie� reinvigorated moviegoers who turned out in droves to check out the new fare, including buzzy limited-release titles like “Spotlight.� “Spectre� took an easy firstplace spot with an estimated $73 million, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday, to become the second-biggest Bond opening of all time.

The 24th film in the 53-yearold series stars Daniel Craig as the dapper spy and cost a reported $250 million to produce.

Domestically, “Spectre� failed to live up to the recordbreaking standard set by “Skyfall,� which debuted to $88.4 million in 2012 and went on to become the first film in the franchise to earn more than $1 billion worldwide. “We never expected it to open to the level of ‘Skyfall.’ It was a very different scenario.

The competition was different, the weekend was different,� said Rory Bruer, Sony’s president of worldwide distribution. “One thing I am certain of is that the Bond franchise is as healthy and strong as ever.�

Distributor Sony, who coproduced the film with Eon Productions and MGM, tried to manage expectations going into the weekend, predicting an opening in the $60 million range. “It’s still a great number,� said Paul Dergarabedian, Rentrak’s senior media analyst. “For a franchise that’s over 50 years old, it’s really an astounding achievement.� “Spectre’s� worldwide take is a different story. The film opened No. 1 in all 71 territories and earned a total of $117.8 million.

It has earned a whopping $300 million worldwide in less than two weeks and still has yet to open in a few

major markets, including China.

Stateside, though, reviews have been mixed, and “Spectre,� unlike “Skyfall,� had competition in its first weekend in theaters with another beloved set of characters — Charlie Brown and Snoopy. “The Peanuts Movie� provided a family-friendly alternative to James Bond’s guns and martinis and took second place with a strong $45 million. The film cost around $100 million to make.

Audiences, 70 percent of whom were families, gave “The Peanuts Movie� a strong A CinemaScore, suggesting that word of mouth will be strong for the animated pic.

The cross-generational appeal was no accident for the Fox marketing team, which was looking to appeal to all ages.

Chris Aronson, Fox’s presi-

dent of domestic distribution, attributes the success to getting both parents and kids excited. “We were everywhere,� he noted of the campaign. “That’s what we thought we had to do to get through the noise of Bond to connect with moviegoers from 8 to 80 which I think we really were successful in doing.�

Estimated ticket sales are for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak.

(Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared in last month’s season premiere, but not as the host.)

The star turn granted Trump fanned the flames of outrage sparked in June when he announced his Republican candidacy for president and described some Mexicans who are in the United States illegally as criminals and rapists.

Hours before the show’s live broadcast, dozens of protesters marched from Trump Tower to NBC’s studio in Rockefeller Plaza, chanting in both English and Spanish and carrying signs. In Spanish, they chanted: “The people united shall never be defeated� and signs declared “SNL� racist. “I feel like they’re giving him a platform,� said Hazel Hernandez, 26, who emigrated from El Salvador and now lives in Brooklyn. “I’m an immigrant myself, so I’m pretty outraged.

China is borrowing money from the U.S. Trump’s reallife daughter, Ivanka, is the administration’s secretary of the interior, and announces the Washington Monument will be covered with gold.

Did it all sound too good to be possible? “If you think that’s how it’s going to be when I’m president, you’re wrong. It’s going to be even better,� Trump said, addressing the audience. “I said to the writers of this sketch, ‘Keep it modest.’� His preference, he insisted, was to keep expectations low for his presidency and not overpromise.

Intel points to bomb on jet Continued from Page 1 communications in which militants discussed an aviation attack were intercepted, but American officials said that type of “chatter” is often picked up.

Schiff, who was briefed by intelligence officials on Saturday, raised the possibility that someone working at the airport in Sharm elSheikh might have helped the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, place a bomb on the plane.

“ISIS may have concluded that the best way to defeat airport defenses is not to go through them but to go around them with the help of somebody on the inside,” Schiff said.

“And if that’s the case,” he added, “I think there are probably at least a dozen airports in the region and beyond that are vulnerable to the same kind of approach, which is exactly why we have to harden those defenses.”

King said the United States and other Western countries “have to play more of a role as far as firming up the security.”

If the Islamic State was behind the crash, it was able to mount the kind of attack that Al-Qaida has found difficult to carry out in recent years. At least three times since 2009, AlQaida’s affiliate in Yemen has come close but failed to bring down an airliner using bombs that were designed to be undetectable.

Western intelligence officials have feared that the Islamic State has larger ambitions for attacks outside Syria and Iraq — where it seized large stretches of land in 2014 — especially after the United States and Russia began separate military operations against the group.

The plane that crashed, an Airbus A321-200, took off from a regional airport that

serves Sharm el-Sheikh, a resort town on the Red Sea. The airport does not have to meet security requirements of the Department of Homeland Security because it has no direct flights to the United States.

Before the crash, European officials complained that critical equipment, including explosive-detection and X-ray machines, had been badly maintained or operated by poorly trained staff members. One Egyptian official told The Associated Press that he had seen workers unplug a luggage scanner to save power.

Since the crash, several countries have sent security teams to supervise the return of passengers and their luggage, which in some cases is being sent on separate flights.

“We request additional security screening to be provided at departure gates at a number of overseas airports, including Egypt,” said a spokesman for the Department for Transport in Britain. “The U.K. does not pay for these checks, which are separate to the additional precautions now being undertaken on hold baggage at Sharm.”

The spokesman said he could not give details on those additional measures, but that “British aviation security experts are working with the Egyptian authorities and air carriers” to carry out checks at Sharm elSheikh.

Arkady Dvorkovich, the Russian deputy prime minister in charge of efforts to repatriate Russians from Egypt, told reporters on Sunday that Russian specialists would audit airport security systems in Egypt.

Dvorkovich said that the Russian government would give Egypt recommendations about “what additional security measures should be introduced.”

EPA expands on-road emissions testing

By DANNY HAKIM and JAD MOUAWAD

New York Times News Service

Concerned that cheating on vehicle emissions could be prevalent across the automobile industry, regulators in the United States and Canada are significantly expanding their on-the-road emissions tests to cover all makes and models of diesel cars.

The tests, which come in the wake of Volkswagen’s admission that it installed software on more than 11 million cars to evade emissions standards, are being conducted randomly and in real-world conditions, rather than in traditional laboratory settings, to increase the odds of catching cheaters.

“We are very anxious to find out if there are any other programs out there,” said Christopher Grundler, director of the office of transportation and air quality at the Environmental Protection Agency.

The first tests on brands manufactured by Volkswagen, completed last week, found the cheating software on about 10,000 VW, Audi and Porsche models not previously disclosed by the German manufacturer.

Volkswagen disputes the EPA’s claim, saying the software was not intended to thwart emissions testing.

Since then, no other automobile company has been found to have installed socalled defeat software, although it will take several

weeks for all makes and models to be tested.

Grundler declined to describe the tests, except to say they will focus on 2015 and 2016 model year diesel cars. They will also be performed on all new cars that manufacturers seek to certify, he said.

The move by the EPA is a significant expansion of its testing regimen, which previously did road testing for pollutants mainly on large trucks. It also makes roadtest spot checks of older cars to ensure that their pollution-control mechanisms are still effective. Tests are also being performed alongside regulators in Canada and California.

But Volkswagen’s scandal has highlighted deficiencies in the existing lab tests both in North America and in Europe.

“Regulators must think more like the cheaters,” said Luke Tonachel, an autoemissions specialist at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “EPA is starting to use new tests that can’t be readily gamed by manufacturers.”

An official with the trade group Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers said it supports the EPA expansion of road testing.

The new and more unpredictable testing represents a sea change from the traditional, highly controlled lab setting where vehicles are put on a treadmill, wired with sensors and run through a standardized and familiar routine.

Suu Kyi’s party projects landslide Continued from Page 1 on the back.

No matter the results, the election will not create a fully democratic Myanmar, which ended a half-century of military rule in 2011, followed by a quasi-civilian government run by a party made up of former military figures now expected to fare badly in the elections. The constitution reserves 25 percent of parliamentary seats for the military, and was rewritten to keep Suu Kyi from the presidency.

A constitutional amendment bars anyone with a foreign spouse or child from being president or vice president. Suu Kyi’s two sons are British, as was her late husband.

Suu Kyi, however, has said she will act as the country’s leader if the NLD wins the presidency, saying she will be “above the president.”

In her first comments after the elections, Suu Kyi told a crowd gathered at the NLD party headquarters that while vote tabulations wouldn’t be announced until later, “I think you all have the idea of the results.”

“It is still a bit early to congratulate our candidates who will be the winners,” she said.

“I want to remind you all that even candidates who didn’t win have to accept the winners, but it is important not to provoke the candidates who didn’t win to make them feel bad.”

The NLD had thousands of monitors deployed across Myanmar during the vote, keeping track as each polling station closed and publicly announced its totals. That was expected to give NLD

MARK BAKER/Associated Press

AUNG SAN SUU KYI, right, leader of Myanmar’s National League for Democracy party, delivered a speech today with party patron Tin Oo from the balcony of her party’s headquarters in Yangon, Myanmar. leaders a solid estimate of final numbers long before official totals were announced.

Win Htein, the NLD spokesman, told the AP that the party’s strongest showing was in the heartland states, where it appeared to be garnering 80 percent of the votes. The support fell off slightly, to 50-70 percent, in the states dominated by ethnic minorities.

“DAWN OF A NEW ERA. Millions vote in historic election,” was the banner headline today of the New Light of Myanmar, a governmentowned newspaper and long a mouthpiece for ruling juntas, reflecting just how much Myanmar has changed in recent years.

The election, billed as the freest ever in this Southeast Asian nation, was monitored for the first time by thousands of domestic and international observers, who said it went well. Many of the eligible 30 million voters cast ballots for the first time, including Suu Kyi, widely revered as the embodiment of the country’s dreams for democratic reform.

economy.

But the USDP was battered in a 2012 by-election in which the National League for Democracy won 43 of the 44 parliamentary seats it contested.

After the election results are finalized, the new members of Parliament and the military appointees will propose three candidates, and then elect one as president.

The other two will become vice presidents. The NLD would need an overwhelming win to take the presidency because of the seats reserved for the military, all of which now go to the USDP. As hundreds of supporters waited outside the NLD headquarters in Yangon today, crowds started singing a song called “The Strong Peacock,” in reference to the party’s symbol, which became popular during the campaign period.

“She is the people’s leader that the whole world knows,” they sang. “Write your own history in your hearts for our future, so the dictatorship will end. Go, go, go (away) dictatorship.”

Regulators urge broader health networks Continued from Page 1 but the patient would be “held harmless.”

Stephanie Mohl, the manager of government relations at the American Heart Association, said the proposals were “a huge step forward” for patients.

In determining whether a network of providers is sufficient, state insurance commissioners would consider factors like the ratio of people enrolled in a health plan to the number of doctors in each specialty, the “geographic accessibility of providers,” waiting times for appointments, and the ability of health plans to meet the needs of low-income people and “children and adults with serious, chronic or complex health conditions or physical or mental disabilities.”

The commissioners developed the proposals in an exhaustive 18-month drafting process that was open at every stage to consumers, insurers, health care providers and other experts.

The Obama administration said this year that it was waiting to see the “model act” de-

vised by the commissioners’ association before deciding whether to adopt detailed federal standards for provider networks.

Insurers defend smaller networks as a way to hold down costs and improve care by steering patients to selected high-performing doctors and hospitals. Moreover, they say, most consumers seeking insurance on the exchanges focus on price more than any other factor and are willing to accept limits on their choice of doctors and hospitals in return for lower premiums.

But William J. Psolka, a 50year-old photographer in Somerset, N.J., is one of many patients aggrieved by such narrow networks. He visits doctors in Boston and New York for a complex heart defect he has had since birth.

For decades, his insurance policy covered those visits.

“But in 2014,” Psolka said, “the insurer got rid of out-ofnetwork coverage, as did many carriers in New Jersey, and I don’t know if I will be able to continue seeing the specialized cardiologists at the clinics in Boston and

New York.” For months, he said, he has been seeking permission from his insurer.

Separate studies issued last week by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Avalere Health, a consulting company, suggest that insurers in the federal marketplace are offering fewer plans with broad networks of health care providers than they did in the last two years.

At the same time, many insurers are reducing or eliminating coverage of providers outside their networks.

“Exchange plans are moving toward networks with fewer providers,” said Elizabeth Carpenter, a vice president of Avalere.

Kevin McCarthy, 58, of Ventura County, Calif., said he and his wife had bought a plan from Blue Shield of California after checking its online provider directory to confirm that their doctors were all covered. But, he said, after they went to the doctors last year, they received bills stating that the doctors were not “in network.”

“We were shoehorned into a plan with a very limited network of doctors,” Mc-

Carthy said. “But we did not realize it because the provider directory was very misleading. It was out of date.”

The State of California imposed fines last week on Blue Shield of California and another big insurer, Anthem Blue Cross, after finding that their provider directories had been inaccurate.

Another provision of the model law would require insurers to update their doctor directories at least once a month. Federal and state investigators have found directories riddled with errors.

Some include doctors who have died, are no longer practicing at the listed location or are not taking new patients.

Harvard researchers reported last month that nearly 15 percent of health plans in the federal insurance marketplace “completely lacked in-network physicians for at least one specialty.” Most often missing were rheumatologists, who treat arthritis and related conditions; endocrinologists, who treat diabetes and thyroid disorders; and psychiatrists.

UNESCO rejects membership for Kosovo

By THOMAS ADAMSON Associated Press

PARIS — Members of the U.N. cultural agency have narrowly rejected Kosovo’s bid for membership, in a victory for Serbia and Russia and a blow to Kosovo’s mission for global recognition as a state.

Most nations that participated in today’s voting fa-

vored Kosovo’s membership, with 92 “yes” votes and 50 “no” votes and 29 abstentions. According to UNESCO rules, however, the bid needed the support of two-thirds of those voting, or 94 “yes” votes, said Stanley Mutumba Simataa, the Namibian diplomat presiding over the vote.

Although 91 parties fielded candidates Sunday, the main fight was between the NLD and the ruling Union Solidarity Development Party, which is made up largely of former junta members.

A host of other parties from ethnic minorities, who form 40 percent of Myanmar’s 52 million people, also ran.

The junta, which seized power in a 1962 coup, annulled the results when Suu Kyi’s party won a sweeping victory in 1990 elections. A new vote was held in 2010, but the opposition boycotted it, saying the election laws were unfair.

Caskey, Kramer each win first marathon “IT FEELS GREAT. The last two miles I started to feel it, but I pushed through it, and I’m pretty excited about it.”

Brian Caskey,

Sunday’s marathon winner

By JUSTIN GERWICK

jgerwick@indianagazette.net

BURRELL TOWNSHIP — All the hard work finally paid off for two newcomers to Sunday’s fourth annual Indiana First Bank Veterans Marathon and Half-Marathon.

Brian Caskey, of Pittsburgh, and Leslie Kramer, of New Wilmington, took first place in the men’s and women’s divisions in the full marathon.

The two runners have participated in a combined 64 marathons, but neither had ever earned a first-place finish.

“It feels great,” Caskey said. “The last two miles I started to feel it, but I pushed through it, and I’m pretty excited about it.”

Caskey, 39, who ran during his four years as a member of the U.S. Army, had participated in 33 marathons prior to Sunday’s race, but he had never participated in the 26.2-mile trek on southern Indiana County’s Ghost Town Trail.

“I’m very pleased with it,” Caskey said.

“It’s a great course. The weather today is just beautiful. It’s perfect conditions (for a marathon).”

The temperature hovered around 50 degrees for the entirety of the race on a sundrenched November day. Nearly 350 runners participated in three events, which consisted of the marathon, a halfmarathon and a marathon relay.

Caskey’s time of 2 hours, 56 minutes and 52 seconds was nearly three minutes

ahead of second-place finisher Doug Basinski, who checked in at 2:59.45.

Michael Yoder (3:10.57), Kramer (3:18.45) and Jacob Taciuch (3:22.10) rounded out the top five.

Kramer’s time put her first among the female competitors — and third overall — and she finished nearly five minutes ahead of Mandy Frommyer (3:23.23), who finished second among female runners.

“This is my first win,” Kramer said. “So, I’m pretty excited.”

Kramer, 38, had participated in 29 marathons prior to Sunday’s race.

“The course is a little bit tough because the whole way going out, it’s gradual uphill running,” Kramer said.

Another Close Call

Haley needs to protect Big Ben

By MATTHEW BURGLUND

mburglund@indianagazette.net

Lenny Williams hates losing. That doesn’t make him much different from most quarterbacks.

But what separates IUP’s redshirt freshman phenom from a lot of others is that he hates losing so much that he does something about it.

Whether it be with his arm or his legs, Williams finds a way to win.

The latest instance came Saturday, in the Crimson Hawks’ battle with Gannon at Miller Stadium. IUP led 20-14 in the fourth quarter, and the Golden Knights had all the momentum after trailing 20-0. At the time, the IUP offense hadn’t done much in a while, and its Gannon counterpart was gaining confidence and points.

That’s when Williams took the ball — and took matters into his own hands.

With about 4:45 left to play and his team facing third-and-2 at the IUP 36-yard line, Williams took a shotgun snap, paused for a moment and then took off to his right before taking a quick step upfield. And with a burst of speed, he was gone.

Williams’ untouched 64-yard scoring run gave the Crimson Hawks enough of a cushion for the win, and the victory saved IUP’s season when a loss would have derailed its playoff hopes.

It also served as the latest example of just how valuable Williams has become to the Crimson Hawks.

“That was a big-time play that secured the game,” IUP defensive end Karon Gibson said.

Brown, Steelers escape Raiders

By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers injury list has grown so long this season, guard Ramon Foster joked the football gods must be ticked at his team.

Doesn’t seem quite so funny anymore, not with the franchise quarterback hurt again and his immediate status uncertain.

Ben Roethlisberger hopped to the sideline with a busted left foot midway through the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 3835 victory over the Oakland Raiders, his face a mix of frustration and pain after all 265 pounds of Oakland defensive end Aldon Smith landed on Roethlisberger’s leg during a sack.

By the time backup Landry Jones engineered a late drive to set up Chris Boswell’s 18yard game-winner, Roethlis-

berger was already out of the stadium to get his foot examined.

The extent of the damage wasn’t immediately known, but it seems unlikely he’ll be available next Sunday against Cleveland, putting the offense and Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes again in the hands of Jones.

The former Oklahoma star was passable last month while filling in as Roethlisberger dealt with a sprained left knee.

Jones rallied Pittsburgh past Arizona on Oct. 18 but was largely ineffective in a loss to Kansas City a week later. He appeared just fine during his brief appearance against the Raiders, completing 4 of 6 passes for 79 yards, including a 57-yard hookup with Antonio Brown that put Boswell in position to snap Pittsburgh’s twogame losing streak.

“It gives you confidence,” Jones said.

By The Indiana Gazette PITTSBURGH — IUP completed its two-game exhibition schedule with another respectable performance against a top-tier Division I women’s basketball team.

IUP trailed Pitt by 18 points, 44-26

PITTSBURGH — Todd Haley has apparently forgotten some of the main selling points for his hiring back in 2012: his ability to devise game plans that keep Ben Roethlisberger healthy while optimizing the Steelers arsenal of offensive weapons.

The fourth-year Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator has made it evident with his schemes that he’s no longer extremely mindful of the threetime Pro Dustin Filloy is Bowl quar- a sports writer terback’s for The Indiana well-being, Gazette.

Haley formulated a game plan that produced a prolific offensive day, but the Steelers once again failed to properly protect Big Ben. A Roethlisberger foot injury in the fourth quarter forced Landry Jones to step up in the midst of another back-and-forth game.

He entered the game cold again, but he had the luxury of throwing to a seemingly unstoppable wide receiver in Antonio Brown, who set single-game franchise records in receiving yards with 284 and receptions with 17.

Johnson charges past Keselowski for victory

By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas — Brad Keselowski was dominating at Texas, leading lap after lap and getting oh so close to a victory that would have given him one of the four championship-contending spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup finale.

Until Texas fall favorite Jimmie Johnson came charging after the final restart.

Keselowski led a track-record 312 of 334 laps Sunday after starting from the pole, but

couldn’t keep Johnson from winning the Texas fall race for the fourth straight year.

“Just one step short of having the awesome day we needed to have,” Keselowski said.

“I’m not sure exactly how to feel about it at the moment. The 48 car had so much speed those last 10 laps.”

With the already-eliminated Johnson getting his 75th career victory, three spots are still up for grabs at Phoenix, the last race before the Nov. 22 finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

WHAT A SHOW

Carolina star Cam Newton threw for three touchdowns and ran for a score, leading the undefeated Panthers to a 37-29 win against Green Bay. It was Newton’s 15th career game with multiple touchdown passes and a rushing TD, joining Hall of Famers Steve Young (17) and Fran Tarkenton (16) as the only players with as many such games.

PANTHERS QUARTERBACK Cam Newton (1) reached toward the goal line as two Packers defenders tried to bring him down during Sunday’s game in Charlotte, N.C.

Cam pushes Panthers to 8-0

By The Associated Press Cam Newton threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score Sunday, and the Carolina Panthers took an important step toward securing home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with a 37-29 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Newton completed 15 of 30 passes for 297 yards and ran for 57 yards on nine carries in one of the better games of his five-year NFL career.

The Panthers (8-0) extended their regular-season win streak to 12 games and put themselves in terrific shape in the NFC standings, where every other team has at least two losses.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 369 yards and four touchdowns and led a furious fourth-quarter comeback from 23 points down, but couldn’t complete it.

Linebacker Thomas Davis intercepted Rodgers on a fourth-and-goal pass at the Carolina 3-yard line with 1:54 left.

— every one this season except the first quarter of the first game.

Blount carried 29 times for 129 yards for New England..

EAGLES 33, COWBOYS 27: Sam Bradford threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Matthews in overtime and Philadelphia handed Dallas its sixth straight loss, the Cowboys’ longest losing streak in 26 years.

Matthews broke away from Byron Jones and ran past safety J.J. Wilcox on the first possession of overtime.

Matthews had nine catches for 133 yards.

Jordan Hicks had a 67-yard interception return for a touchdown for the Eagles (4-4).

DeMarco Murray had 161 total yards — 83 rushing and 78 receiving — in his first game on his old home field after winning the NFL rushing title with the Cowboys last season.

COLTS 27, BRONCOS 24: Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes and Adam Vinatieri made a tie-breaking 55-yard field goal with 6:13 to play.

Indianapolis (4-5) ended a threegame losing streak and stayed atop the AFC South.

Luck was brilliant, going 21 of 36 for 252 yards. He broke a 17-17 tie with a TD pass early in the fourth quarter, then helped snap a 24-24 tie by setting up Vinatieri for the field goal on the next drive. Indy ran out the final 5:57.

Peyton Manning was 21 of 36 for 281 yards with two TDs and two interceptions. He couldn’t break Brett Favre’s record for regular-season wins (186) by a quarterback and fell 3 yards short of becoming the NFL’s career passing leader.

TITANS 34, SAINTS 28: Tennessee rookie Marcus Mariota came back from his recent injury to pass for 371 yards and four touchdowns, including a 5-yard scoring pass to Anthony Fasano in overtime, and the Titans snapped a six-game skid in a win over New Orleans.

The Saints (4-5), who had won three in a row, led 21-10 but could not put away the Titans (2-6), who turned in a feisty performance in their first game since coach Ken Whisenhunt was fired and replaced by Mike Mularkey.

Sunday also marked Mariota’s return from a knee sprain that sidelined him for two games. He completed 28 of 39 passes.

Brees was 28 of 39 for 389 yards and three touchdowns. He also scored on a short keeper.

PATRIOTS 27, REDSKINS 10: Julian Edelman and LeGarrette Blount scored touchdowns before Washington ran its second play.

Tom Brady completed 26 of 39 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns, including an 8-yarder to Edelman on the opening drive. New England (8-0) then pulled off a surprise onside kick, but that drive stalled when Edelman fumbled.

Washington could manage only a single play: Kirk Cousins’ pass that bounced off Pierre Garcon and was intercepted by Logan Ryan. New England then marched downfield to make it 14-0 on Blount’s 5-yard score.

Washington (3-5) managed 15 total yards in the first quarter, and the Patriots continued to pull away. New England has scored in 31 straight quarters

VIKINGS 21, RAMS 18: Adrian Peterson rushed for 125 yards on 29 carries, helping set up Blair Walsh’s 40-yard field goal in overtime after Minnesota quarterback Teddy Bridgewater left with a concussion early in the fourth quarter.

In a predictably grind-it-out game between similarly constructed teams, the Vikings (6-2) ended Todd Gurley’s streak of games with 125-plus yards rushing at four. Gurley gained 89 yards and a touchdown on 24 attempts for the Rams (4-4), who received the overtime kickoff but went three-and-out.

Marcus Sherels tiptoed along the sideline for a 26-yard return of Johnny Hekker’s 63-yard punt, and Peterson ran the ball well into Walsh’s range to give the Vikings their seventh straight win at home.

Greg Zuerlein made four field goals for the Rams, including a 53-yarder with 17 seconds left in regulation to make up for the 48-yarder that went wide right a few minutes before.

BILLS 33, DOLPHINS 17: Sammy Watkins had a career-best performance in leading Buffalo. He made eight catches for 168 yards and a 44-yard touchdown that broke open the game late in the third quarter. Rookie running back Karlos Williams scored twice and LeSean McCoy also scored on a 48-yard run.

Lamar Miller scored twice on 1-yard runs.

McCoy had 112 yards rushing before leaving the game in the fourth quarter with an injury to his right shoulder.

49ERS 17, FALCONS 16: Blaine Gabbert threw a pair of second-quarter touchdown passes to Garrett Celek to lead undermanned San Francisco past Atlanta.

The 49ers (3-6) head into the bye on a winning note after a week of change.

Making his first start in more than two years, Gabbert didn’t take a sack behind an offensive line that has faced heavy scrutiny all year. Celek made TD catches of 1 and 11 yards to give him three on the year and San Francisco’s stout defense flustered Matt Ryan.

JETS 28, JAGUARS 23: Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown passes while playing with a torn ligament in his left thumb, Chris Ivory ran for two scores and New York took advantage of late mistakes by Jacksonville.

Brandon Marshall had a 20-yard TD catch after the Jets (5-3) recovered a muffed punt late in the fourth quarter, helping New York end a two-game skid in a messy performance by both sides.

Blake Bortles threw for 381 yards and two touchdowns.

GIANTS 32, BUCCANEERS 18: Eli Manning threw for two touchdowns, helping the first-place New York Giants rebound from last week’s debacle at New Orleans with a win over Tampa Bay. Josh Brown booted four field goals for the Giants (5-4), including fourthquarter kicks of 53 and 44 yards that gave New York some breathing room after the Bucs (3-5) pulled within two points.

The Giants’ defense, bolstered by the return of Jason Pierre-Paul, did its part by keeping the Jameis Winston-led Tampa Bay offense out of the end zone until the rookie scrambled 10 yards for a TD that made it 20-18 with 9:25 remaining.

STEELERS NOTEBOOK

Brown sets franchise records in win

By DUSTIN FILLOY

dfilloy@indianagazette.net

PITTSBURGH — When Antonio Brown said he was in a zone in Sunday’s 38-35 win over the Oakland Raiders, the sixth-year wide receiver wasn’t exaggerating a bit.

Brown proved the difference in a topsy-turvy game by posting franchise records in receiving yards with 284 and receptions with 17.

With the game tied on a third-and-2 at the Steelers’ 28, Brown hauled in a 57yard reception from backup quarterback Landry Jones to set up the game-winning field goal from Chris Boswell in the waning seconds.

“Absolutely,” Brown said when asked if he thought he was in the zone. “I had a good flow, positive energy

every series and we were getting the looks that we practiced for, so it was a positive day.”

After slumping through three of the least productive games since his rookie year, Brown has looked unstoppable in the last three weeks, catching a combined 29 passes for 455 yards with a touchdown.

Brown sits at No. 2 in the league in receiving yards with 1,002 and receptions with 69.

NO BELL? NO PROBLEM: A week removed from watching Le’Veon Bell get carted off the field with a seasonending injury, Steelers Nation collectively applauded the efforts of their still-underrated backup running back, DeAngelo Williams.

Williams continued to prove that he’s one of the

best, if not the best, No. 2 running back in the NFL, racking up 170 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries (6.3 yards per carry) on Sunday against the Raiders.

His 170 yards were more than any other rusher in the NFL thus far this week by 41 yards.

Williams, who started the first two games in place of the then-suspended Bell, put together his third consecutive stellar performance as a replacement starter for the first-team AllPro selection. In those three starts, Williams has totaled a combined 374 rushing yards on 68 carries (5.5 yards per attempt) with five touchdowns.

Although he only played in five games, Bell sits at No. 11 in the league in rushing yards with 556 on 113 carries (4.9 yards per carry).

BITTERSWEET FOR BIG BEN: A fourth-quarter foot injury prevented quarterback Ben Roethlisberger from reveling in the Steelers’ win and the fact that he passed two Pittsburgh-area legends on the NFL’s all-time list for passing yards.

Roethlisberger threw for 334 yards to reach 40,565 yards for his 12-year career, passing Joe Montana (40,551) and Johnny Unitas (40,239 yards) for 14th and 15th, respectively, on the league’s list for all-time passing yards.

Montana, a Ringgold High School graduate and a 15year NFL veteran, represents one of Roethlisberger’s childhood idols.

Unitas graduated from the now-defunct St. Justin’s High School in Pittsburgh before playing for 18 years in the NFL.

Crimson Hawks QB gets it done with legs Continued from Page 11 Since being named the starter after the first game of the season, a loss to Kutztown, Williams has guided the Crimson Hawks to a 7-1 record, with their only loss coming to Slippery Rock.

And in that game, all Williams did was rush for 140 yards and a touchdown and pass for 364 yards and two scores. His 504 yards of total offense set a single-game school record.

Through nine games, with eight starts, Williams has rushed for a team-high 987 yards and six touchdowns, and he has passed for 1,247 yards and eight touchdowns with only three interceptions.

He’s had five straight games of at least 100 rushing yards, a streak that began with a 205yard effort against Seton Hill, which is believed to be a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference record for rushing yards in a game by a quarterback. That’s not bad for a player who joined the team only in August after transferring from Temple.

“He’s a tremendous athlete,” IUP coach Curt Cignetti said. “He’s a tremendous competitor. He’s got a great mindset. He keeps his cool all the time and he doesn’t get shaken; he doesn’t get rattled. And he can throw and run, and he’s only a freshman.”

Williams said he doesn’t care much about statistics, other than his team’s win-loss record. And his real interest there is to avoid losing.

“I’ve learned to put (losses) behind me,” Williams, a graduate of Sto-Rox High School, said. “You can’t dwell on it. You’ve got to learn from your mistakes. I don’t like to lose. It sucks. But when it happens, you have to learn from your mistakes and put yourself in position so they don’t happen again.”

Williams’ biggest contribution has been his ability to make a play when the Crimson Hawks need one the most. He’s had many key runs on third downs to extend drives, and against Slippery Rock and Seton Hill he had long second-half touchdown runs that ignited the Crimson Hawks.

His big run Saturday against Gannon couldn’t have come at a better time. The Crimson Hawks had jumped out to a 14-0 lead just eight minutes into the game, but they had been outplayed by the Golden Knights since then.

“You want to get up quick,” Williams said of the 14-0 lead. “But when you get up, you can’t let up.”

RUNNING WILD: Against Gannon, Williams rushed for 140 yards, but he didn’t lead the team. That honor went to sophomore tailback Chris Temple, who gutted out 142 yards on 32 carries. What’s most noteworthy about it is that Saturday’s game was the third time in four games that IUP had two players gain at least 100 yards.

Against California on Oct. 17, Temple ran for 255 yards, and Williams gained 134. And against Clarion last weekend, Shannon Jackson rushed for 167 and Williams had 134.

The Crimson Hawks have been one of the best rushing teams in the country all season.

They have gained at least 200 yards in all but one game (186 vs. Slippery Rock), and they have rushed for at least 300 yards in four games, with a season high coming against California, when they had 388 yards.

Among all Division II schools, IUP is No. 6 in the country in rushing yards per game, at 306.0. The school record for rushing yards per game is 259.3, which was set in 2012.

LOCATION QUESTION: IUP will take on winless Cheyney on Saturday in the regular-season finale. But the question is, where?

The Crimson Hawks were originally scheduled to play West Chester, but since the Rams won the PSAC East title, they will play host to West champion Slippery Rock in the State Game on Saturday. So IUP gets Cheyney, which was supposed to play Slippery Rock.

The thing is this: Cheyney had agreed to a deal to move their originally scheduled game to Slippery Rock. So when things worked out that Cheyney replaced West Chester on IUP’s schedule, questions arose about whether IUP would make a similar offer to bring the Wolves (0-10) to Indiana.

Cignetti said Saturday that there were still going to be discussions about it, but the deal appears to be hung up on cost. IUP had already reserved hotel rooms in the Philadelphia area, in preparation for playing West Chester.

Cignetti said IUP could not get out of the reservation, so if the Crimson Hawks wanted to bring Cheyney to town, they’d have to pay the bill for hotel rooms they never used, plus any expenses Cheyney would want them to cover to travel to Indiana.

Ryan Rebholz, IUP’s sports information director, said Sunday night that he expects the the situation will be resolved sometime today.

Haley needs to protect Roethlisberger Continued from Page 11 nip the Raiders, 38-35, in what was essentially a must-win scenario.

“We’re getting banged up but the defense is playing well, and thankfully they’re decently healthy,” Steelers guard David DeCastro said. “It’s a team sport and guys got to rally and guys got to step up, and Landry did a great job stepping in.”

His solid performance aside, how many more times can Jones be expected to overcome the odds? Furthermore, can the Steelers win enough down the stretch to punch their ticket to the playoffs?

Roethlisberger suffered a sprain to his

left foot, an injury that will likely keep him sidelined for just one game, this week’s contest against the slumping Cleveland Browns.

Big Ben could then rest the ensuing week during the Steelers’ bye, and optimistically assuming he makes a quick and seamless recovery, return in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks.

If all goes as planned, Roethlisberger could be back and fully mended in Week 12 with the Steelers sitting at 6-4 and in control of their own destiny in the AFC wild-card race.

Haley must revert to the habit of devising plans that keep Roethlisberger upright by game’s end.

Haley managed to do so at times this season and for the lion’s share of the last two seasons, but in the last two games, he’s made ill-fated decisions that have left Roethlisberger vulnerable in the pocket.

Haley has the joystick in his hands, and with an invaluable weapon like Roethlisberger, he must do everything in his power to concoct game plans that will keep him protected.

Remember, the Steelers are still a Super Bowl-caliber team, even with Pro Bowl running back Le’Veon Bell on the shelf for the season. Unfortunately the same can’t be said about a Steelers team that’s led by Jones.

Runners take first place for the first time Continued from Page 11 “So, when you’re coming back your legs are already pretty beat up. But it’s nice.”

Marathoners ran on the Ghost Town Trail from Black Lick to Dilltown and back.

Half-marathoners ran to Heshbon and back, a 13.1-mile run. All proceeds of the race benefit the Indiana County Veterans Assistance Fund.

Roman Tate, a 2015 Penns Manor High School graduate, finished first in the halfmarathon with a time of

1:25.10. Tate finished nearly a minute-and-a-half ahead of second-place finisher Zachary Stumpf (1:26.36).

Anthony Kist (1:29.06), Bruce Rohrs (1:31.37) and Catherine Muchesko (1:32.37) rounded out the top five. Muchesko’s time was good enough to win the women’s division.

Muchesko finished more than nine minutes ahead of Leanna Bird (1:42.01), who finished 18th overall and second among female runners.

The Fast and Furious team of Joe Bierhals, Jerry Pyrock, Chris Smith and Doug Ulishney finished first in the relay marathon with a time of 2:57.39. Fast and Furious finished more than 40 minutes ahead of the second-place Red, White and Blue White team from Indiana, which consisted of Erica Aiken, Al Lockard, Jennifer Blystone and Mike Weaver (3:39.42).

Molly Flanagan, Levi Walls, Tommy Garaventa and Judy A. Shomo (3:48.11), a group

made up of local teachers from United, won last year’s relay but came away with a third-place finish this year.

The Red, White and Blue Red Team from Indiana, which consisted of Tabith Conrad, Kathy Trevorrow, Lori Smith and Candi Lockard, teamed up for fourth-place, and the JAMer’s, a team from Indiana which consisted of Molly Roach, Steve Roach, Amber Racchini and Jim Racchini, (3:57.33) rounded out the top five.

Steelers beat Raiders

Continued from Page 11 “The more you can play, the more you can get in, the more confidence you get.”

Having Brown around certainly helps. All the All-Pro wide receiver did was set franchise marks for receptions (17) and yards receiving (284) while adding 22 yards rushing.

“It just makes life easy,” Jones said. “If you get manto-man and he gets matched up outside, there’s not a lot of reading going on. You’re going to try and fit the ball in there.”

The Steelers (5-4) moved back over .500 while the Raiders (4-4) saw their bid to have a winning record at the midway point for the first time since 2001 come up short despite a late rally from a 14-point deficit.

The Steelers went right at the NFL’s 31st-ranked pass defense by coming up with various ways to get the ball to Brown, using a wide variety of sets to provide favorable matchups. Brown got off to a hot start, catching 10 passes for 180 yards in the first half alone, and simply didn’t stop.

He turned a slant pattern into the splash play needed to set up Boswell, hauling in the pass in the middle of the field then taking off down the sideline.

“I really don’t know what to say but ‘Wow,’” Oakland safety Charles Woodson said.

Steelers backup running back DeAngelo Williams didn’t exactly look 32 while starting in place of All-Pro Le’Veon Bell, who is out for the season with a right knee injury. Williams ran for 170 yards and two scores and added 55 yards receiving.

Heady territory for a player Carolina appeared eager to part with last spring.

“It’s all about production,” Williams said. “I go in and try not to let people outwork me.”

Oakland running back Latavius Murray piled up 96 yards on 17 carries before leaving in the third quarter to undergo the concussion protocol after he fumbled while absorbing a big hit from Pittsburgh safety Mike Mitchell.

Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward wasn’t exactly in a celebratory mood after giving up a two-touchdown advantage in the fourth quarter.

“When you put yourself in position for them to score a numerous amount of times, that shark is going to bite back,” Heyward said.

Seal.

Take a close look at a $1 bill. Look at the back. On either side of the word “one” is the Great Seal of the United States. Have you ever examined it closely before?

Let’s get up close and personal with our country’s Great Seal.

The Great Seal

Seals have been around for hundreds of years. Kings wore rings bearing their special design. They dipped the rings into hot wax to seal a letter or document.

Just hours after the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776, a committee of three was appointed to design the Great Seal. Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were chosen to prepare a design.

Benjamin Franklin

Thomas Jefferson

John Adams

Design by committee The first design wasn’t accepted, but Congress did like the motto, “E Pluribus Unum,” which means “Out of many, one,” because one nation had been made from the 13 Colonies.

It took six years and three committees to create the final design.

Obverse

photo courtesy Arlington National Cemetery

A unique symbol Reverse

On the obverse, or front, of the seal, the major image is of an eagle. Our national bird represents power, strength and size. The olive branch in its claw represents peace.

The 13 stars above the eagle stand for the 13 original states.

The colors are white, which stands for purity and innocence; red, for valor; and blue, for vigilance and justice.

The 13 red and white stripes on the shield also represent the original 13 states.

The blue band represents Congress. The shield is held with no support, showing that the U.S. can rely on its own strength.

The 13 arrows represent the power of the 13 joined states.

The reverse, or back, side of the seal also has meaning. The motto, “Novus Ordo Seclorum,” means the beginning of a new era. The pyramid represents strength and duration. The eye and Latin words over the pyramid represent God’s help in creating the new nation.

On Veterans Day 2011, President Obama lays a wreath at the To omb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.

Husband’s long tresses stress his wife DEAR ABBY: My husband, who has a beautiful head of dark curly hair, decided to let it grow. It is now about halfway down his back. Sometimes he braids it or pulls it into a ponytail.

Other times he wears it down and it falls loose.

The problem is, I can’t bear to look at him.

He has always been clean-cut and had short hair. But as time has gone on and many of his friends have begun losing their hair, he says he wants to grow his out while he Dear Abby is can. written by I know that in the Abigail Van grand scheme of life, Buren, also hair shouldn’t be an known as issue, but I can’t seem Jeanne to get past this.

problem, but how can I deal with it? — TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING DEAR TOO MUCH: If you can’t look at your spouse because his flowing tresses are a turnoff, this must be affecting many aspects of your marriage. Although he likes his hair long, if you address it in those terms he may be willing to listen. However, just as women should be free to wear their hair the way they want, the same should apply to males.

P.S. I’m surprised his friends want to hang around with a walking reminder that they are follicly challenged.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I went to a Mexican resort with five other couples for a seven-day vacation. On the second day, one of the wives, “Sandra,” received the news that her sister “Kate” had died unexpectedly. The funeral would not be held until two days after we returned.

Sandra’s husband was furious at the family member for calling. What did they expect her to do, hop a plane? We were all affected by Sandra’s loss. The first two days all five couples were having a ball. After that call it was like someone popped the balloon — it was never the same for any of us.

Some of us feel they could have waited until the last day before calling, although I personally think they should have waited until she got home. Sandra and Kate were completely dissimilar and not close. Even Sandra said, “Well, at least I had two good days of vacation.” Should the family have waited? — DISGUSTED IN WISCONSIN DEAR DISGUSTED: It depends, I think, upon the dynamics in the sisters’ family and to what degree Kate’s death was a shock to everyone. When death happens out of the blue, people sometimes react emotionally rather than rationally, which may be why the relative called immediately.

I agree with the friends who said the sad news could have been conveyed on the last day of the trip. Had Sandra been told immediately upon her return home, she might have been grateful. On the other hand, she also might have been furious, saying, “How could you keep this from me!?”

That said, in my opinion it would have been kinder to let Sandra and her husband enjoy their holiday, since it was already too late to rush to the sister’s bedside.

Lennon’s guitar sells for $2.4M BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — An acoustic guitar that John Lennon used to record and write “Love Me Do,” “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and other hit songs sold for $2.4 million at auction. Julien’s Auctions said the Gibson J-160E guitar was sold Saturday to an undisclosed buyer.

The auction house said the guitar was one of only two of its type flown from America to England in 1962 for Lennon and George Harrison. Lennon used the guitar for about a year before swapping it with Harrison; it later went missing during a Christmas concert in 1963.

The guitar’s whereabouts was unknown for more than 50 years until a California man discovered last year that a guitar in his possession may have historical value.

John McCaw, of San Diego, who bought the guitar in the late 1960s for $275, stumbled on an old magazine story about Harrison, which featured a photo of the instrument which bore similar markings to his guitar.

An expert was able match the guitar’s serial number, wood grain and markings to the one Lennon used in the early 1960s, Julien’s Auction said in a news release.

The drum head that The Beatles used in their landmark performance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” was auctioned Saturday for $2.1 million, the auction house said.

TODAY IN HISTORY

By The Associated Press

Today is Monday, Nov. 9, the 313th day of 2015. There are 52 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 9, 1965, the great Northeast blackout began as a series of power failures lasting up to 13½ hours left 30 million people in seven states and part of Canada without electricity.

On this date: In 1620, the passengers and crew of the Mayflower sighted Cape Cod. In 1872, fire destroyed nearly 800 buildings in Boston.

In 1918, it was announced that Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II would abdicate; he then fled to the Netherlands.

In 1935, United Mine Workers president John L. Lewis and other labor leaders formed the Committee for Industrial Organization (later renamed the Congress of Industrial Organizations).

In 1938, Nazis looted and burned synagogues as well as Jewish-owned stores and houses in Germany and Austria in a pogrom that became known as “Kristallnacht.”

In 1953, Welsh author-poet Dylan Thomas died in New York at age 39.

In 1967, a Saturn V rocket carrying an unmanned Apollo spacecraft blasted off from Cape Kennedy on a successful test flight.

In 1970, former French President Charles de Gaulle died at age 79.

In 1976, the U.N. General Assembly approved resolutions condemning apartheid in South Africa, including

one characterizing the white-ruled government as “illegitimate.”

In 1988, former Attorney General John N. Mitchell, a major figure in the Watergate scandal, died in Washington at age 75.

In 1989, communist East Germany threw open its borders, allowing citizens to travel freely to the West; joyous Germans danced atop the Berlin Wall.

In 1999, with fireworks, concerts and a huge party at the landmark Brandenburg Gate, Germany celebrated the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Ten years ago: Three suicide bombers carried out nearly simultaneous attacks on three U.S.-based hotels in Amman, Jordan, killing 60 victims, and wounding hundreds. Oil executives testified before Congress that their huge profits were justified, but got a skeptical reaction from lawmakers. Carolina’s Erik Cole became the first player in NHL history to be awarded two penalty shots in

one game. (Cole scored on the first, helping the Hurricanes defeat Buffalo, 5-3.)

Five years ago: Continuing his Asia tour, President Barack Obama flew from India to Indonesia, his home for four years of his youth.

Former President George W. Bush officially kicked off the release of his memoir, “Decision Points,” with a booksigning in Dallas. A special prosecutor cleared the CIA’s former top clandestine officer and others of any charges for destroying agency videotapes showing waterboarding of terror suspects, but

continued an investigation into whether the harsh questioning went beyond legal boundaries. Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki won his 10th straight Gold Glove, tying the AL record for Gold Gloves by an outfielder shared by Ken Griffey Jr. and Al Kaline.

One year ago: The citizens of Berlin released almost 7,000 balloons into the night sky, many carrying messages of hope to mark the 25th anniversary since the fall of the wall that had once divided their city.

Luc de Clapiers, an 18th-century French essayist, said, “The most absurd and reckless aspirations have sometimes led to extraordinary success.”

That is true. Even at the bridge table, a reckless line of play can work out well, when the cards are favorably distributed.

However, in newspaper columns and classes, recklessness is costly.

In this deal, for example, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads the heart jack to dummy’s queen?

North’s sequence showed gameforcing values, at least one four-card

major and five-plus clubs. (Probably East did well not to overcall two spades.

North would have doubled, and the contract could have been defeated by two tricks. But if North-South had still ended in three notrump, a spade lead would have been lethal. Also, East might have doubled three no-trump, which would have asked for an unusual lead. Typically, West would have led his shorter major.)

South starts with five top tricks: two spades and three hearts. It looks easy to play on diamonds to get those four extra winners. But if the defender with the ace wins the second round of the suit and switches to spades, declarer probably won’t see his hand again until it is too late.

Instead, South should lead a club at trick two.

Suppose East wins and shifts to the spade queen. Now declarer must win in the dummy and lead a diamond — not a reckless club. If East takes this trick, South gets two spades, three hearts and four diamonds.

If East ducks, South wins in his hand, cashes the heart ace, then leads his club queen to take two spades, two hearts, one diamond and four clubs.
