Soon you can text to 911 New emergency feature expected to be up, running in February

BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Steuben County Communications will be adding the ability to take text 911 calls early next year.

Communications Director Cindy Snyder said she will have a

better idea of the dynamics of the system after a meeting on Friday.

Equipment for the new program is already on its way for installation.

“Text 911 is coming,” Snyder said during a meeting of the Steuben County Council on

Tuesday. “We’ll be getting that here shortly.”

Snyder said the equipment will be installed sometime in January and the system should be up and running by February.

“It’s great for the hearing impaired and stuff like that,” she said.

It is also a valuable tool to have when people need to make emergency calls but are fearful for their wellbeing because they are in the presence of a perpetrator.

SOUTH BEND (AP) — The Studebaker National Museum will open a new exhibit to mark the 50th anniversary of the last Studebaker to roll off the assembly line in South Bend.

The South Bend Tribune reports the anniversary is Dec. 20 and the exhibit is called: “Studebaker: Preserving the Past, Pursuing the Future.”

Admission to the museum will be free that day.

Former Studebaker Corp. employees who visit the museum that day will be invited to sit for 90-second video recordings of their Studebaker memories.

In addition, a former Studebaker assembly plant will be open for public tours for several hours that day. Members of the Studebaker Drivers Club also will be there and some classic Studebakers will be on display.

Snyder said there was a training exercise conducted recently at Trine University and text 911 was put to the test. It enabled a woman held in a room to be able to descretely communicate with law enforcement. There’s also technology that will be able to map a victim’s location.

Once text 911 is up and running, Snyder said, information will be made available to the public to educate people on how the system works.

Council praises departing auditor

BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Rounds of praise were given to Auditor Pam Coleman in her final meeting with the Steuben County Council on Tuesday.

Coleman is resigning, effective Jan. 1, to take a position with the governmental financial consulting firm Peters Municipal Consulting, Greenwood.

“It has been a privilege and an honor to work with you the last couple years,” Council President Rick Shipe said.

“First off, I’m going to miss each and every one of you,” Coleman said, adding that she

would not miss writing up minutes from council meetings or dealing with tax increment financing districts.

In her new position, Coleman said she will be doing similar work, mainly working with auditors and clerk-treasurers in explaining the myriad of rules and regulations they must follow to perform their duties.

“I have an innate ability to dumb things down,” Coleman said.

The council went on record with a motion honoring Coleman and most offered words of praise.

Councilman Dan Caruso said most people in the county did not realize how Coleman went above

and beyond to make sure the county’s finances were in order and procedures were followed.

“It has been an honor to work for the citizens of this county,” Coleman said.

Coleman’s term in office would have ended Dec. 31, 2014.

Because of term limits, she would not have been able to seek a consecutive third term.

Last week a Steuben County Republican caucus selected former Auditor Kim Koomler to serve out the final year of the auditor’s term. Koomler said she intends to stand for election next year. She had served as auditor from 1999-2006.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — President Barack Obama’s eulogy was for Nelson Mandela, but it laid out for a global audience the work that Obama himself would like to be remembered for: an unending fight against injustice and inequality. Obama acknowledged he sometimes wonders whether he is doing enough to live up to Mandela’s historic legacy.

Speaking to a crowd of thousands at a rain-soaked memorial service — and millions more on television — Obama said it was crucial that progress in the U.S. and South Africa not “cloud the fact that our work is not yet done.” He said that struggles to come “may not be as filled with drama and moral clarity as those that came before, but they are no less important.”

Behind Obama’s words was the difficult political reality he and Mandela both faced. They became their nations’ first black presidents, shattering racial barriers that once seemed impossible to break. But their groundbreaking electoral success came with sky-high expectations that proved difficult to fulfill, on problems like poverty and injustice.

For Obama, Tuesday’s focus on global inequality dovetailed with an agenda he is trying to revive in the U.S., as he seeks to steady his standing with middle class SEE MANDELA, PAGE A6

Volleyball award named for Olympian Ball FROM STAFF REPORTS

ANGOLA — The National Setter of the Year award will be renamed to honor one of the best setters in college men’s volleyball and USA Volleyball history, Lloy Ball, said a news release from a volleyball website called Off the Block.

Off the Block announced Monday the new national college men’s volleyball award will be named in honor of Ball, a former Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne All-American setter and four-time U.S. Olympian. Ball lives at Lake James.

The Lloy Ball Award beginning in the 2014 season will be an annual honor presented to the best setter in NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball during the regular season.

“When they asked me, I was honored,” Ball said on Tuesday. “It’s a nice honor. Any time there’s a best setter, it’s a national award and they’re naming it for me, it’s an honor.”

Ball said it would be fitting if the first-ever award went to an IPFW player because it’s his alma mater and his father, Arnie, still is the head coach.

In four seasons with IPFW from 1991-94, Lloy Ball was a three-time All-American and was selected as the 1991 National Freshman of the Year. Along with still holding school records for career assists and aces, Ball led the Mastodons to three NCAA Tournament appearances.

“I’ve seen people in my house as I am outside of my house looking in,” said Billman, noting that her husband, Doug Billman, has remarked on the same thing only to go inside and find no one.

Billman grew up in a haunted house she said, built new by her parents in Fort Wayne.

“Every night something happened,” Billman said.

“The lights would go on, footsteps.” She heard footsteps on the roof of the house, scratching sounds on the walls and had violent dreams. She said it was a terrifying long-term experience that left her wanting to help others who may have withstood similar ghostly attacks.

“You are not the only one,” she said. There are ways, she said, to live with a haunting and purify a space.

“Back then, you didn’t talk about it as much,” noted Habib. “I used to have nightmares every night of people being murdered … gunshots.”

She said it may be residual energy from a very emotional occurrence, repeating itself over and over.

Valerie said she had numerous run-ins as a child with an “imaginary friend” called Shirley in the house she grew up in near Ashley. Shirley was in her mid-30s, and may have been a wandering remnant of Steuben County’s past.

The Varners live in their great-grandparents’ home in Pleasant Lake, and have documented the face of a bearded man in the window while looking in. The women said ghosts are often witnessed in such a way, inside a dwelling while others are looking in.

“It could be where a traumatic part of their life was spent,” said Melanie, who is interested in the spirit of a woman stabbed

to death in the Pleasant Lake cemetery in the early 1970s.

In their quests, the group uses basic equipment, such as cameras and recording devices, and their own perception. Melanie has a recording on a small, hand-held device taken at Lakeside Cemetery near Fremont on Oct. 30. It sounds like a raspy laugh.

All the members of the group have stories to tell, like the smells and sounds of eggs and bacon cooking in an empty kitchen or the whiff of a familiar perfume when no one else is around.

“You just have that feeling,” said Melanie.

The Varners have a strong lineage in Steuben County, and said they think some of their ancestors may have made spiritual marks.

“A lot of people have stories and seem to believe in the paranormal,” said Valerie. Stories are welcomed on the Facebook page or at steubenparanormalsociety@outlook.com.

The group is looking for homes and other Steuben County structures to stake out and hunt for haunts.

Hamilton board member resigns

BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

HAMILTON — Hamilton Community Schools board member Dianna Mejia has resigned from the District 2 at-large seat she held for just six months.

Mejia has been promoted to a position at the state Department of Child Services in Indianapolis, making her ineligible to govern the school district.

The school board on Monday approved Mejia’s resignation, effective Dec. 1.

“She regretted, she said, heavily leaving the board;

she really enjoyed it,” said school board president Scott Lucas.

Mejia replaced former two-term board member Michael Kaufman in July.

The district has advertised the position and will accept applications for the seat until Thursday, Lucas said. The board then will choose Mejia’s replacement. Lucas said the board hopes to have a replacement seated by the first of the year.

In other business Monday, Superintendent Jon Willman briefed the board on a conference he attended

recently in Indianapolis on the similarities and differences between the educational systems of world powers.

Willman said a former Michigan State University professor, who is a Chinese immigrant and now an expert on education, spoke and debunked the notion that education systems in China and other nations are stronger than U.S. schools. Willman said the expert discussed how some countries will cherry-pick strong students to test, while the United States tests every student, and he

said an apples-to-apples comparison would show the United States has the best education system in the world.

Willman said the speaker suggested school districts should focus on local control to maintain success.

Also Monday, the school board approved: an out-of-state field trip for the senior class to Chicago, Jan. 2-4; and an annual resolution to allow the district business manager to make year-end transfers and cuts within accounts to balance the books.

Regional Roundup • HIP plan extended through April INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — More than 10,000 low-income Indiana residents who participate in a state-run insurance plan will be able to keep their benefits through April.

The Family and Social Services Administration announced Tuesday it is extending its Healthy Indiana Plan to participants who earn between 100 percent and 200 percent of the federal poverty level. The move will give members more time to obtain coverage through the federal health care exchange.

FSSA Secretary Debra Minott said many HIP members have struggled to enroll in the exchange because of technical issues.

South Bend regulating street performers SOUTH BEND (AP) — The South Bend City Council has approved a set of regulations on those who perform in public places seeking money.

Council members voted 7-0 Monday in favor of the proposal. It will limit sidewalk musicians, dancers and others to performing until 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

The South Bend Tribune reports those performers also must pay $20 for an annual permit and can’t ask for money in an aggressive manner.

GOSHEN — Two dentists were injured when a car crashed into their office Monday, according to news reports.

The Elkhart Truth reports Cheryl Carlton Deal and Mark Deal were inside Goshen Family Dentistry when a car driven by Gary Hurst, 34, of Goshen, crashed into the building.

Hurst told police he was talking on his cell phone and was distracted when he went off the road. He gave a certified breath test of .13 percent blood alcohol content and was arrested on a preliminary charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

Muncie residents want busing to continue MUNCIE (AP) — Several Muncie residents are asking the state Department of Education to force the city’s school district to continue bus service for students despite the defeat of a proposed property tax increase to pay for its costs.

School district officials continue to maintain they have no choice but to cut the $3 million a year spent on bus service after voters defeated the tax increase referendum last month, The Star Press reported.

Several people told state Education Department officials at a public hearing Monday that ending bus service would be dangerous for students walk to school in areas without sidewalks and that many parents can’t provide transportation for their children. Others blamed mismanagement for the district’s budget troubles.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A central Ohio school bus driver who authorities say was driving her route with an open bottle of Canadian Mist whiskey has pleaded guilty to drunken driving.

Dentists hurt when car crashes into office

BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County’s Board of Trustees made two cost-saving technology moves Monday.

The board opted to change personal computer management software. The library has been using PC Cop for a monthly $990 fee.

The library paid $10,000 for the installation with funding from a Dekko Foundation grant, Sonya Dintaman, Carnegie director said.

She told the board there has been glitches with the system, primarily in the children’s department.

Instead, the board decided to go with the more cost effective system, Librarica Inc., for a $560 monthly charge, after a $3,500 installation fee.

That money will come out of the library’s rainy day fund. Dintaman said other libraries she has contacted use Librarica and are pleased with it.

In a related move, the board agreed to purchase 10 refurbished computers at a cost of $300 each from TechSoup. Libraries are limited to purchasing only 10 computers at a time from the company. Dintaman said one more refurbished computer likely will be purchased in the future, since the library requires 11.

In other business, the board opted to wait on transferring $50,000 from the library improvement reserve fund to rainy day.

While the rainy day fund allows for more flexibility with how appropriations are made, the board will wait to transfer the funds. Improvement fund money must be used for capital projects.

The board may look at replacing the library’s roof in 2014 with the money.

The library will also post a notice seeking cleaning estimates. The library is currently being cleaned for $1,400 monthly. Dintaman said an employee has offered to do cleaning for $850 monthly in addition to other duties, which would mean overtime pay.

Holiday library hours have been set with the library closed Dec. 24-26, regular hours on Dec. 27 and 28, noon closing on New Year’s Eve, closed Jan. 1 and regular hours on Jan. 2.

Death In The News • ‘The Sound of Music’ baroness dies at 91 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eleanor Parker, who was nominated for Academy Awards three times for her portrayals of strongwilled women and played a scheming baroness in “The Sound of Music,” has died at 91.

Family friend Richard Gale said Parker died Monday morning due to complications from pneumonia. “She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her children at a medical facility near her home in Palm Springs,” Gale added.

Parker was nominated for Oscars in 1950, 1951 and 1955, but then saw her career begin to wane in the early 1960s. Her last memorable role came in 1965’s “The Sound of Music,” in which she played the scheming baroness who loses Christopher Plummer to Julie Andrews.

Americans after a trying presidential year. Obama’s renewed attention to the issue of income inequality in particular is popular with his liberal base, though he stands little chance of gaining support for items such as a minimum wage increase from congressional Republicans. “With honesty, regardless of our station or our circumstance, we must ask: ‘How well have I applied his lessons in my own life?� Obama said of Mandela. “It’s a question I ask myself, as a man and as president.�

While Obama may be facing political troubles at home, his broad popularity in South Africa was on full display. The crowd at the Johannesburg soccer stadium erupted in applause each time the American president’s name was mentioned or his image flashed on the stadium screen.

In small but significant ways, Obama also appeared to be trying to live Mandela’s message of overcoming

BALL: ‘There’s not a Heisman-type statue’ FROM PAGE A1

After graduating from IPFW, Ball played professional volleyball overseas for almost 20 years and was the starting setter for the U.S. Men’s National Team at the 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Ball also helped guide the United States to a gold medal in 2008 — one of two men’s volleyball Olympic gold medals in U.S. history. He served as captain in 1996, 2000 and 2004.

The Lloy Ball Award will be presented by Off the Block and is the first national college men’s volleyball award to be named after a former standout player.

national setter of the year after a player was made in an effort to honor and incorporate the history of NCAA volleyball to this award.

In addition, the Lloy Ball Award will be first national position-based award in college men’s volleyball. Several volleyball organizations that give out national end-of-year awards each season ranging from All-American Teams to the National Player of the Year, but no national award before this upcoming year was specific to a position.

The inaugural Lloy Ball Award winner will be selected at the end of the 2014 regular season by a nationwide voting committee

comprised of coaches and media members.

The top-three vote-getters will be named finalists for the award, while the player receiving the most votes will be the inaugural winner of the Lloy Ball Award. “There’s not a Heismantype statue or anything,�

Ball joked in reference to the trophy given annually to college’s top football player.

This is one of three new national awards that Off the Block will present for the upcoming season.

Off the Block is a national award winning website that covers college men’s volleyball and launched in January 2011.

animosity and bitterness.

He shared a brief handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro, who attended the service. It was a rare greeting between the leaders of two countries that have long been at odds, and the simple gesture stoked talk of a possible rapprochement.

But just moments later, Obama launched into veiled criticism of Cuba and other authoritarian governments that were friendly with Mandela. “There are too many people who happily embrace Madiba’s legacy of racial reconciliation but passionately resist even modest reforms that would challenge chronic poverty and growing inequality,� Obama said, referring to Mandela by his clan name. “There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba’s struggle for freedom but do not tolerate dissent from their own people.�

The White House said Obama met with members of Mandela’s family during the memorial service, including Mandela’s widow, Graca

Machel, and expressed condolences on behalf of the American people. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama also called Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa from their hotel after the service to thank the retired Anglican bishop for his anti-apartheid work.

By the time Obama became president, Mandela had largely retired from public life. The two men held just one in-person meeting in 2005 and spoke only occasionally by phone.

Tuesday’s memorial service served as a reunion of nearly all living American presidents. George W. Bush joined Obama on Air Force One for the trip to South Africa. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter also attended the service, but traveled separately.

George H.W. Bush was the only former president who did not attend. A spokesman for the 89-yearold said he regretted missing the event but is no longer able to travel long distances.

BRUSHY PRAIRIE — Prairie Heights’ boys basketball team overcame a torrid-shooting third quarter from Elkhart Christian Academy Tuesday night to defeat the Eagles 86-79 in overtime in a non-conference matchup.

Junior forward Jacob Heller had eight of his 36 points in overtime to push the Panthers to victory.

But there was much more who made the win possible, said coach Brett Eltzroth.

“It was a great team win,” Eltzroth said. “I can not say enough about the guts and the mentality we showed. We were down 10 with under 6 minutes to go in regulation. We bent a little bit, but did not break. That’s how a team stays together.

“Corey Johnson stepped up huge. He was big defensively and made some big shots. I can’t give enough credit to every single player who played.”

Heights overcame a doubledigit deficit in the fourth quarter to take a lead at 70-69 after a Cody Bachelor putback of a long three-point miss by Johnson.

Bachelor had another go-ahead basket before Kenny Bearss made one of two free throws with 17.4 seconds left to tie the game at 72.

The sophomore Bachelor fouled out on the play and finished with 14 points.

Heller missed the front end of a one-and-one with 6.8 seconds left, and the game went to overtime.

The complexion of the game changed some when top Elkhart Christian player Cory Waycaster fouled out with 3:36 left in overtime. But the Eagles kept fighting while the Panthers led for much of the extra session.

Heights built the lead up to five at 80-75 on a three-point play by

Shepard added nine for Prairie Heights, who won its third straight game. The win have all been at home.

“I’m so proud of the unselfishness of this team,” Eltzroth said.

“Our bounceback after the Garrett

loss has been great. The crowd has been great at home.”

Prairie Heights led 34-29 at the half. But Elkhart Christian (2-1) whittled away as Ryan Kupferschmidt hit three straight three-pointers to start the third quarter.

An inside basket by 24 gave the Eagles the lead at 42-41 with 4 minutes, 56 seconds left in the stanza.

Kupferschmidt hit three free throws after PH’s Dylan Stayner was called for an intentional foul at the 3:37 mark. That began a 10-1 ECA run which put the Eagles ahead 53-45 after a Kupferschmidt triple with 2:37 left in the third.

The Panthers felt the need to keep up with ECA from beyond the arc for a short time and took some bad shots.

Pacers rally past Miami Heat INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roy Hibbert scored 24 points and Paul George had 15 of his 17 points during a second-half rally to lead the Pacers past Miami 90-84 Tuesday night in a matchup of the Eastern Conference’s top two teams.

Indiana improved its league-best record to 19-3 and extended its lead to three full games by beating Miami at home for the fourth straight time.

LeBron James led the Heat with 17 points, 14 rebounds and six assists but had only three baskets and nine points over the final 36 minutes. Dwyane Wade also scored 17 for Miami, which has now lost three of five.

The Heat led by 13 in the first half and didn’t trail until Hibbert completed a three-point play with 6:12 left in the third quarter to put the Pacers ahead 58-57.

But with George heating up, Hibbert dominating the middle and Indiana’s bench playing solid, Miami couldn’t tie it or take the

lead again.

The difference for Indiana, as usual, was the third quarter.

Only this time, the knockout punch came with much more significance against the two-time champs.

Indiana, which made a late charge from a 13-point deficit late in the first half to close to 47-40 at halftime, opened the third with back-to-back baskets including the Pacers’ first 3-pointer of the game to close the deficit to four.

Indiana finally tied the score at 55 when George Hill hit a 3 with 8:15 left in the third.

Hibbert’s second three-point play of the quarter finally gave Indiana its first lead, 58-57, with 6:12 to go, and then George went to work. The NBA’s No. 4 scorer managed only two points in the first half and made his first basket with 3:51 to go in the third but still managed to score 12 in a quarter that the Pacers took a 68-64 lead.

The surge didn’t stop

there.

When Hibbert returned early in the fourth, the Pacers immediately went

to him on back-to-back possessions, starting the decisive 12-6 run that gave Indiana an 82-74 lead with

4:59 to go.

It sure didn’t look like things would end this way when the game began.

Cavaliers handle fledging Knicks, 109-94 CLEVELAND (AP) — His arms folded across his chest, New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson watched helplessly as three Cleveland players streaked past him on the way to an uncontested layup.

Woodson couldn’t stop the Cavaliers.

Right now, he can’t do much about his sinking Knicks either.

Kyrie Irving had 37 points and 11 assists and Jarrett Jack added 17 points, leading the Cavs to a 109-94 victory over the hard-tofigure Knicks on Tuesday night.

Fresh off an embarrassing 41-point loss at home to Boston on Sunday, New York dropped to 5-15 and made Woodson’s future even more uncertain. The Knicks have

lost 11 of 13.

“I don’t have the answer to what we have to do,” Carmelo Anthony said. “You can’t coach or you can’t teach energy. The losing is becoming unacceptable. Hopefully, everybody feels like that. I can’t be the only one who is feeling like that.”

Irving scored 12 points in the third quarter, when the Cavs outscored the defenseless Knicks 33-20 and pulled away. Tristan Thompson added 12 points — two on a ferocious put-back dunk — and had nine rebounds as Cleveland won its fourth straight at home.

Anthony scored 29 points and Amare Stoudemire had 15 for the Knicks, who erased an early

18-point deficit, gave it all back, fell behind by 19 and weren’t aggressive.

New York attempted just five three throws.

“This is all new to me,” Stoudemire said. “I’ve never been 5-15 before in my career. The only thing we can do is stay positive.”

Anthony said there are bigger things to worry about than any looming changes.

“If we start thinking about that, we’re going to be 5-25,” he said.

“It will all go downhill.”

After being outscored 22-4 during one stretch of the second quarter, the Knicks got it together — briefly. New York only trailed by three at halftime and the Knicks were showing some signs of life,

one game after enduring the most lopsided loss in the NBA this season.

Anthony’s 3-pointer pulled New York within 53-52, but Thompson scored on a sensational, one-handed dunk, triggering an 8-0 run that made it 61-52.

“I did take it out on the rim,” said Thompson, who was frustrated by early foul trouble. “Sorry, rim.”

Irving hit a 3-pointer, and moments later, Cleveland’s Alonzo Gee tipped the ball away from New York guard Pablo Prigioni near midcourt. Gee picked up the loose ball and led a three-on-none Cavs break past Woodson, who stood on the sideline unable to prevent Cleveland from scoring another easy basket.

Gordon lifts IU past Grizzlies BLOOMINGTON (AP) — Evan Gordon knew transferring to Indiana would invite pressure. He recognized that his last name brought extra expectations.

Gordon suddenly looks more than worthy.

He scored a season-high 26 points - 16 in a dominant opening half for Indiana - to lead the Hoosiers to an 81-54 blowout win over Oakland on Tuesday.

Gordon has 41 points in his last two games after scoring in double figures just twice in the first eight.

“It’s all coming out,” Gordon said. “When your team has confidence in you, it gives you confidence. I’ve gotten open. I’ve stayed a little more aggressive than I have been. It’s ball movement really. We’re playing faster and pushing the ball ahead. Everybody’s getting pretty good looks.”

Indiana (8-2) won its second straight and extended its nonconference home winning streak to 36.

Gordon, a 6-foot senior who transferred from Arizona State in the offseason, was expected to add experience, ballhandling and scoring to Indiana’s backcourt. Playing off the bench, Gordon has seen time at both guard spots. Against the Golden Grizzlies, most of his first-half minutes came at point guard with starter Yogi Ferrell limited to nine minutes because of foul trouble.

Gordon thrived, making his first eight shots, one shy of matching a school record, before Oakland center Corey Petros blocked a layup with 8:22 left in the game. Gordon finished 10-of-12 from the field in 26 minutes and had fans at Assembly Hall periodically chanting his name.

He started 7-of-7 in a win over North Florida on Saturday before missing his final two shots to finish with 15 points. That was

AP

Indiana’s Evan Gordon (10) puts up a shot against Oakland’s Corey Petros during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game Tuesday in Bloomington. Indiana won 81-54.

Gordon’s first double-figure outing in five games.

Gordon’s brother Eric, now a starting guard for the New Orleans Pelicans, starred at Indiana during the 2007-08 season before departing early for the draft. During the game, Eric tweeted, “My bro is on FIRE!!!!!”

“He was on fire,” teammate Luke Fischer said.

“It was his night. We knew we had to keep giving him the ball. He’s spectacular right now.”

Oakland (2-8) never found an answer and lost its 11th straight away from home. The Golden Grizzlies started 0-7 against a difficult

schedule that included North Carolina, UCLA, California and Gonzaga. It won’t get easier. They next face No. 5 Michigan State on Saturday.

“The way they played tonight, I’d say that’s as good a team as has played against us,” Oakland coach Greg Kampe said. “They’re very good if they can shoot like that.”

Leading scorer Travis Bader saw his streak of consecutive games with a 3-pointer come to an end at 62. It was the longest active streak in the nation. Bader missed all 10 attempts. He was held to 11 points, more than 10 beneath his average, and shot 2-of-15 from the

field overall.

“It was a game within the game for us tonight,” Indiana coach Tom Crean said.

Gordon played a part in what was a team effort on Bader. The coaching staff credited Gordon with 13 deflections during the game.

“He’s got big assignments defensively,” Crean said.

“Evan is in the gym more.

That’s really important.

When Evan came here, one of our big points was there was a lot more he could get better at. You’re starting to see that.”

Troy Williams scored 13 points, Ferrell had 11 and Noah Vonleh finished with eight points and 10 rebounds as the Hoosiers shot 50 percent (30-of-60) from the field. Oakland finished at 32.2 percent and was led by 14 points from reserve Mitch Baenziger.

Indiana, which entered leading the nation in rebounding margin at plus-15, dominated the glass.

Oakland, which came in with a rebound margin of minus-8.6, was outrebounded 52-28.

But the story was Gordon, who stretched the floor by making four 3-pointers in five attempts and added five rebounds, three assists and three steals in a dominant all-around performance.

“I don’t even know who the guy is who made the 28,000 points or whatever he scored,” Kampe said, before reporters reminded him of Gordon’s name. “I couldn’t even tell you who he was.”

Early on, the Golden Grizzlies found out the hard way, as Gordon completed a twisting transition layup to give Indiana a 15-5 lead less than five minutes into the game. Midway through the first half, Gordon reeled off a personal 10-0 run in a span of less than two minutes. He made a layup, hit back-toback 3-pointers and then converted two free throws to give the Hoosiers a 32-16 advantage.

She was first in the local competition at Angola’s Boomershine Park on Sept. 14, then was first in the regional competition on Oct. 12 in Mishawaka. Archbold was second out of three participants in the state finals, finishing just behind one of the daughters of Colts backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. “Emma did great,” said Cory Archbold, Emma’s father. “It was a great experience and a lot of fun getting to be on the Colts’ field and in front of all the fans during the Colts game.”

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Brad Boyes scored the winning goal in a shootout to lift the Florida Panthers over the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Aleksander Barkov also scored in the tiebreaker for Florida, which has won three of four overall and two in a row against the Red Wings.

Tomas Tatar scored for Detroit in the shootout but Tim Thomas stopped shots by Daniel Alfredsson and Gustav Nyquist.

Nick Bjugstad and Sean Bergenheim had goals in regulation for Florida.

Thomas made 24 saves.

Pavel Datsyuk and Todd Bertuzzi scored for the Red Wings. Jimmy Howard made 25 saves and Johan Franzen had two assists.

Detroit lost for the sixth time this season when leading after two periods.

Florida scored twice in the third to tie the game.

Bjugstad evened it at 2 when he put the puck over Howard’s shoulder with 5:22 left in the third. The Panthers cut it to 2-1 on a goal by Bergenheim exactly 5 minutes into the period.

Dmitry Kulikov bounced a shot from the point that Bergenheim touched on the way to the net.

The Red Wings took a 2-0 lead in the second on Datsyuk’s goal. Franzen slid a soft pass to Datsyuk to the left of the crease and he one-timed it into the net at 6:47. Franzen has 12 points in his last 10 games.

Datsyuk returned to the lineup after missing the last seven games with a concussion sustained Nov. 23 against Ottawa. Datsyuk has six goals and nine assists in 11 career games against the Panthers.

The Red Wings went ahead 1-0 on a power-play goal by Bertuzzi in the first.

Franzen’s shot from the left point was tipped by Datsyuk and blocked by Thomas before Bertuzzi poked in the rebound at 10:26.

The Red Wings had a goal disallowed early in the first due to goaltender interference. Jonathan Ericsson’s slap shot from the left point found the corner of the net, but it was ruled that Daniel Cleary interfered.

Notes: The Panthers played the Red Wings for the second time in five days. The Panthers won 2-1 on Saturday in Detroit. … Red Wings C Stephen Weiss returned to Florida for the first time since he signed a five-year deal with Detroit in July.

Prairie Heights senior guard Kyler West handles the ball against Elkhart Christian Academy during the first half Tuesday in Brushy Prairie.

CHICAGO (AP) — John Henson had 25 points, 14 rebounds and six blocked shots, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Chicago Bulls 78-74 on Tuesday night in a matchup of injury-riddled teams.

Brandon Knight added 19 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee, which had dropped three of four. O.J. Mayo was just 2 for 12 from the field, but had seven assists

and made a couple of big plays in the fourth quarter.

Chicago used only eight players after Joakim Noah was sidelined by a bruised right thigh. Carlos Boozer was the only starter in the lineup from the season opener at Miami.

Mike Dunleavy scored 18 of his 24 points in the second quarter, but the Bulls struggled on offense in the latter part of their fourth loss in five games.

Boozer ended with 21 points.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Trumbo to Diamondbacks in 3-team trade LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels traded slugging outfielder-first baseman Mark Trumbo to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday as part of a three-team deal that also includes the Chicago White Sox. Pitcher Hector Santiago moved from the White Sox to the Angels, outfielder Adam Eaton from Diamondbacks to Chicago, and left-hander Tyler Skaggs from Arizona to Los Angeles.

Arizona also will receive player to be named or cash from each of the other clubs in the deal made at the winter meetings.

Trumbo hit .234 with 34 homers and 100 RBIs this year, getting much of his playing time at first base because Albert Pujols was hurt. But he was deemed superfluous by Los Angeles, which needs starting pitching behind Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and Garrett Richards.

Santiago was 4-9 with a 3.56 ERA in 23 starts and 11 relief appearances. His fastball velocity has dipped from 93.8 mph in 2011 to 92.8 in 2012 to 91.8 last season, according to fangraphs.com.

Eaton hit .252 with three homers, 22 RBIs and 44 strikeouts in 250 at-bats for the Diamondbacks this year, when he also played with three minor league teams.

Skaggs went to Santa Monica High School, was taken by the Angels with the 40th overall selection of the 2009 amateur draft and was dealt to the Diamondbacks in August 2010 to complete the trade that brought Dan Haren to Los Angeles.

Skaggs made his big league debut in 2012, when he had six starts, but spent much of this year in the minors. He was 2-3 with a 5.12 ERA in seven starts this year for Arizona, leaving him with a 3-6 career mark.

All four players have low salaries for now. Trumbo and Santiago are on track to be eligible for salary arbitration after next season, Eaton following 2015 season and Skaggs after the 2016 season.

Arencibia, Rangers complete $1.8M contract LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Catcher J.P. Arencibia and the Texas Rangers have finalized a $1.8 million, one-year contract.

Arencibia hit .194 with 21 homers, 18 doubles and 55 RBIs in a career-high 138 games this year for Toronto. The Blue Jays didn’t offer him a contract by the Dec. 2 deadline and allowed him to become a free agent.

Arencibia has a .212 career average with 64 homers and 193 RBIs in four big league seasons. He turns 28 next month and figures to be a backup to Geovany Soto.

The agreement was announced Tuesday.

Arencibia is fourth among catchers in home runs over the past three seasons with 62. Two of Arencibia’s seven multihomer games have come in Arlington. The other five were in Toronto.

Toronto’s Phaneuf suspended two games for boarding NEW YORK (AP) — Toronto Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf has been suspended two games for his hit from behind on Kevan Miller of the Boston Bruins.

Phaneuf will not play against Los Angeles on Wednesday and at St. Louis on Thursday. He loses more than $66,000 in salary.

During Toronto’s loss to Boston on Sunday night at Air Canada Centre, Miller’s back was turned at the time.

No boarding penalty was called. Miller left the game but coach Claude Julien said he wasn’t worried about the defenseman’s condition.

Phaneuf had a phone hearing Tuesday with NHL vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan.

The suspension is the Leafs’ fourth this season. The others were to David Clarkson, Nazem Kadri and Carter Ashton.

Green, Ruettgers new Packers Hall of Fame members GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Former Green Bay Packers players Ahman Green and Ken Ruettgers will be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame next summer.

Green, a running back obtained in a trade with Seattle in 2000, played eight seasons with the Packers and finished as the club’s all-time rushing leader with 8,322 yards.

He also holds franchise records for most yards from scrimmage (11,048), 1,000-yard seasons (six), 100-yard games (33) and rushing attempts (1,851).

Ruettgers played 12 years for the Packers (1985-96) and was a fixture at left tackle for more than a decade.

A first-round draft pick in 1985, he appeared in 156 career games, with 140 starts.

The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. announced the selections Tuesday.

The 44th Hall of Fame induction banquet will be held July 19.

THE HERALD REPUBLICAN

Disliking Jesus I won’t like Pope Francis I. I won’t like Jesus.

In case you have been living under a rock, or lack computer access, which is pretty much the same thing in some circles, on the social media website FaceBook, you almost constantly are encouraged to click “like” buttons.

You can “like” your favorite sports team, college, businesses, hobbies and television programs “Liking” something is basically an atta-boy, a web-based popularity contest. For public relations purposes, it would be a feather in Pepsi’s cap if MATT it had more “likes” than Coke.

GETTS But what does it actually mean?

Do companies such as DIRECTV really care if someone “likes” them on FaceBook?

To see what impact this had on the satellite television provider, I phoned all five of the people identified as being media specialists at the company. Apparently, none of the media specialists at DIRECTV work on Thursday afternoons.

I then emailed the vice president of the company’s media relations arm, Darris Gringeri. My email to Mr. Gringeri was short and to the point, “I have ‘liked’ DIRECTV on FaceBook. I would like a company The whole reaction to that.”

I eagerly awaited ‘liking’ thing can a response. As of late Tuesday, I am be misleading still in the awaiting phase. DIRECTV is obviously so deeply in my debt it cannot respond.

The whole “liking” thing can be misleading.

Off to one side of my FaceBook page is an ad that asks me if I like Pope Francis I. Clicking the “like” button on this advertisement actually adds a “like” to The Catholic Company, a distributor of religious items and gifts.

I have done business with The Catholic Company because its selection and pricing are very competitive. But I will not “like” it, because the company is basically using people’s fondness for the new pope to bolster its own popularity numbers.

It’s the same thing with Jesus. A pop-up ad on Thursday told me I should hit “like” if I was a follower of Jesus Christ. Talk about peer pressure.

In the interest of full disclosure, I not only like and follow Jesus Christ, I have lovingly embraced him as my personal savior.

In this instance, hitting that “like” button to the question that asks if you are a follower of Jesus Christ adds a “like” to rare.com, an online news magazine. I found this company’s website, and didn’t find anything Jesus-related on it, other than a brief story about the pope, one of a dozen stories on its home page.

Of course, the hidden implication is that if you don’t “like” Jesus, then you must “dislike” Him, which is balderdash.

Does anyone really think that Jesus is waiting for his millionth “like?” Is there another god with whom He is competing for popularity? What if God the Father gets ticked because his Son has more “likes?” The very Trinity could be in jeopardy.

Not. Don’t “like” being a follower of Jesus.

BE a follower of Jesus.

Don’t “like” IU sports. Donate to the local alumni association.

Obamacare’s youth market: an economic miscalculation?

BY CECIL BOHANON

Central to the success of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, are 20- to 30-year-olds buying government-approved health insurance policies. The administration, its friends and allies are running a full-court public-relations press touting the advantages of health insurance to these young folks. Advertising may facilitate some to sign up, but economists generally believe that incentives are more important. How, then, does the ACA change economic incentives to buy health insurance to the young and uninsured?

Consider the health insurance market before the ACA is in place. Charlie is a 27-year-old single male who freelances in Anytown, Indiana. He earns $45,000 a year and does not currently buy health insurance.

Economists surmise his choice not to buy is the by-product of a cost-benefit calculation.

The costs of health insurance are the premiums Charley has to pay. The benefits of buying health insurance are twofold.

If Charlie has a catastrophic medical event — say contracts a rare form of cancer — most of his health bills will be paid for by his insurance carrier.

Second, by purchasing health insurance before such an awful disease develops he has continued access to coverage.

In a pre-ACA world there is a strong incentive for a healthy young person to buy insurance to insure against the risk of becoming uninsurable. But apparently Charlie finds the costs of being insured exceed its benefits.

So how does the ACA impact his calculation? According to the Kaiser Foundation Health Care website, a bronze-level ACA plan for Charlie will cost him $2,542 a year. This is almost certainly more than what Charlie would pay for equivalent coverage pre-ACA. The ACA mandates the young to overpay for health insurance so that the older folks can be allowed to underpay. The premium in the above-quoted figure reflects this intention.

If Charlie doesn’t want health

insurance at lower pre-ACA premiums, why will he want it at higher post-ACA premiums?

Intergenerational cost shifting, a central component of the ACA, gives Charlie less of an incentive to buy insurance.

But there is a second reason why the structure of the ACA actually reduces Charlie’s incentive to buy: He can sign up for health insurance after the fact. The ACA forbids insurance companies from discriminating based on pre-existing conditions.

The designers of the ACA knew these two facts, and incorporated a tax for not buying health insurance into the ACA, a tax that clearly generates an incentive to buy insurance. But is it enough? For Charlie the tax for not buying will be $350 in 2014, rise to $700 in 2015 and then to $875 in 2016. The ACA premium is 5.6 percent of his income, the tax for not buying is .8 — 1.9 percent of his income.

Charlie saves $1,667 — $2,192 or around 3.7 percent (4.8 percent of his gross income) if he does not buy health insurance under the ACA. Moreover, he

can continue to accrue these savings and then sign up for insurance if and when his health deteriorates.

One is hard-pressed to give a plausible economic reason why Charlie as situated above would change his mind and buy insurance under the ACA. Granted, if Charlie’s income is a lot more, say in six figures, the tax he owes for not buying will be greater, making it more likely he buys. If his income is a lot less, say $20,000, available government subsidies make him more likely to opt for an insurance purchase. But we suspect the richer Charlies are already buying insurance and the poorer Charlies are a net fiscal drain to the ACA. So this seems clear: The ACA reduces the incentive to buy insurance for the many of the very folks needed to make it work.

CECIL BOHANON, Ph.D., an adjunct scholar with the Indiana Policy Review Foundation, is a professor of economics at Ball State University.

Pope is religious — not political — leader WASHINGTON — We have reached a new level of political absurdity when the right is mad at the pope and the left wants to anoint his head with oil.

Everyone seems to have his own special version of Pope Francis. Liberals have declared him a crusader for social justice, especially regarding his comments about global inequality. Conservatives fear he just might be a commie.

To briefly recap, Pope Francis has hit two hot buttons: He has questioned the efficacy of “unfettered” free markets and has encouraged de-emphasizing the church’s positions on such divisive issues as gays and abortion.

The latter message, while loving and refreshing, is more complex than an “I’m OK, You’re OK” platitude. He never proposes changing church teachings but merely suggests that the church should be open to all. You can’t minister to people if you won’t let them in the door. And no one follows a wagging finger.

“Frequently we act as arbiters of grace rather than its facilitators,” Pope Francis writes. “But the church is not a tollhouse; it is … a place for everyone, with all their problems.”

He also makes frequent reference to the unborn, but in the context of a throwaway culture that acts as though certain people don’t exist or

can be easily discarded, as in the unborn or the elderly.

The message relating to the financial world similarly targeted the collateral human damage of “unfettered” markets. This is by-the-book Christianity, hardly the moorings of heresy. Yet, these Christian KATHLEEN sentiments have sent some conservatives PARKER reeling to the fainting couch.

Upon reading the pope’s words about greed and inequality, Rush Limbaugh threw down the word “Marxist” like an overcooked rib-eye. The pontiff’s words, said the man of many words, was “just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope.”

Now seems a good time to step back and consider what so often eludes us in our rush to pontificate: Context, context, context.

Both Karl Marx and Pope Francis may have critiqued our idolatry of money as creating an “economy of exclusion and inequality,” as Francis described the global economic system in his “Evangelii Gaudium” (The Joy of the

•

Gospel). But Marx was making an economic statement and Francis was making a theological one. Christianity is based on Christ, while Marxism advocates abolition of religion and acceptance of atheism. One receives grace and performs acts of charity; the other abjures grace and systematizes penury.

Next comes Adam Shaw, news editor for FoxNews.com and a Catholic, who wrote that the pope is like Obama — the worst invective a good conservative can hurl this side of “You’re a tool of Satan!”

“Just like President Obama loved apologizing for America, Pope Francis likes to apologize for the Catholic Church, thinking that the church is at its best when it is passive and not offending anyone’s sensibilities,” wrote Shaw. Both men, he implies, “pander to enemies,” and are “professional grievance mongers.” And so on.

Pray, where does one see passivity in Pope Francis?

The man is an activist, a street worker, a foot washer and evangelizer. There’s nothing passive or pandering about him. And it would appear that Francis is quite willing to offend sensibilities.

It is useful to remember that Jesus wasn’t only a carpenter’s son but a radical who turned the tables on the status quo.

Likewise Francis — a Christian

right down to his sensible black leather shoes, the better to walk the walk and sneak out at night to minister to Rome’s homeless.

What set off conservatives was the pope’s criticism of “trickle-down” economic theory that places absolute faith in markets to be humane and fair.

Conservatives argue correctly that capitalism has done more to raise millions from poverty than any other system. And they well remember the fusion of Marxism and Christianity called “liberation theology” that seeks to redistribute wealth.

But the pope never mentions redistribution. He is challenging our idolatry of money and obsession with things (I confess!), a cultural fascination that distracts us from the needy. What is the successor to St. Peter supposed to do when he sees so much suffering even in free-market societies? Quote Ayn Rand?

In a final contextual note, Francis is the pope, not the president. Like Jiminy Cricket, he is urging people to let their conscience be their guide. No one, Christian or otherwise, can escape the mirror he holds up, his eyes doubtless twinkling in anticipation of his next moonlight adventure, searching for souls in need.

GM has first woman CEO

Town sells SUV once used by Palin ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska community’s sale on eBay of a vehicle used by former Mayor Sarah Palin has caused a stir in small-town politics.

The city of Wasilla, just north of Anchorage, auctioned off the 1999 Expedition used by Palin during her second term as mayor on the website. A Fairbanks woman bought it for $10,300, about $8,000 over its value.

The city will use the money to replenish its vehicle replacement fund.

But Deputy Mayor Colleen Sullivan-Leonard proposed using the funds to restock the local food pantry.

That proposal died Monday when Mayor Verne Rupright declined to break a 3-3 council tie.

Sullivan-Leonard says it’s unfortunate Rupright is capitalizing on Palins’ name to fatten city coffers.

Rupright says it’s just good business when you can get more money than expected for surplus equipment.

DiGiorno drops cheese supplier after animal abuse MILWAUKEE (AP) — Top-selling frozen pizza brand DiGiorno and its cheese supplier cut ties with a Wisconsin dairy farm Tuesday after an animal rights group released undercover video showing workers beating, kicking, stabbing and whipping sick and injured cows.

Wiese Brothers Farm owner Mark Wiese told The Associated Press that he fired two employees and assigned another to duties that don’t involve handling animals after seeing the video. Wiese, who owns the 5,000-cow farm in Greenleaf with his brother, said he was not aware of the abuse until late last month.

“My brother and I and our families are just very, very shook up about the whole incident,” he said Tuesday.

“And we’re just going to continue to complete our investigation and make sure changes are made if needed and make our business stronger and better.”

The farm sold its milk to Foremost Farms.

Foremost supplies cheese to DiGiorno, which is owned

by Nestle USA. Nestle said in a statement that it had asked Foremost Farms not to send it cheese made from Wiese Brothers Farm milk.

Foremost Farms said it had stopped buying from Wiese Brothers on Monday.

Wiese Brothers also faces an investigation by the local sheriff’s department. A captain there said he couldn’t comment on the details.

An activist with Mercy For Animals shot the video while working on the farm in October and November.

People • ‘Glee’ star set for release of album NEW YORK (AP) — Thanks to her role on Fox’s “Glee,” Lea Michele is no stranger to recording music.

Now she’s ready to launch her solo music career.

The 27-year-old will release her debut album, Michele “Louder,” on March 4.

In a press release, Michele says the album is a reflection of her “experiences over this past year” and her “journey as an artist up to this point.”

Officials wheel in two children, part of a group of six people taken to Pershing General Hospital after being lost for

two days in the frigid mountains near Lovelock, Nev., Tuesday.

Search team finds people stranded in Nevada cold RENO, Nev. (AP) — A desperate search for a couple and four children missing for two days in the below-zero cold of Nevada’s rugged mountains turned jubilant Tuesday when rescuers guided in part by cellphone signals and footprints in the snow found them alive and well near their overturned Jeep.

About 200 people had searched by land and air after the group of six failed to return Sunday from a trip to play in the snow near their hometown of Lovelock, in Nevada’s high desert.

“They stayed together and that was the key that allowed them to live through this experience. You don’t see that that often in search and rescue,” said Paul Burke, search-and-rescue coordinator for the state. “They did some pretty unusual things, heating up rocks and things.

Staying together, that was a big deal.”

Their Jeep had overturned just off a road. A member of the rescue team said the engine would no longer start, but the group stayed in the upside-down

vehicle for shelter, burning the spare tire to keep warm.

The six were taken to Pershing General Hospital, where about 100 well-wishers lined the street and broke into cheers when two of the smallest children were taken from an ambulance. Others walked into the hospital on their own.

“The mood where I’m at’s ecstatic,” said Col. Tim Hahn of the Civil Air Patrol, which used several planes to search for the group. “We are thrilled beyond words.”

Rescuers began scouring the Seven Troughs Area wilderness on Sunday night for James Glanton, 34; his girlfriend, Christina McIntee, 25; their two children, Evan and Chloe Glanton; and Shelby Fitzpatrick and Tate McIntee, a niece and nephew of McIntee’s. The children range in age from 3 to 10.

The situation grew more dire as overnight temperatures in Lovelock dipped to 16 below zero.

A cellphone forensics team analyzed which towers the group’s phone was in contact with during

their trip, giving searchers a better idea of where they might be, Hahn said.

They were so far out in the wilderness that they apparently were unable to call for help.

Search volunteer Chris Montes said he and two rescuers with him first spotted children’s footprints in the snow, then followed a set of Jeep tracks until they found the flipped vehicle and the family beside it.

“They just said that they knew somebody was going to find them,” Montes said.

The discovery prompted a wave of relief on social media.

“Very glad to hear the missing family in Lovelock has been found and they are safe!” Gov. Brian Sandoval tweeted. “Thank you to all who worked so tirelessly to find them!”

The Seven Troughs area is named for seven parallel canyons below Seven Trough Peak, elevation 7,474 feet. It is about 20 miles southeast of Black Rock Desert, where the annual Burning Man counterculture festival is held.

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors picked Mary Barra, its product development chief and a 33-year company veteran, as its next CEO. She will become the first female head of a major U.S. car company.

GM said Tuesday that Barra, 51, will replace Dan Akerson on Jan. 15.

Akerson, 65, chairman and CEO, moved up his retirement plans by several months because his wife, Karin, is battling an advanced form of cancer.

“I need to spend all my time and energy in fighting this disease with my wife,” Akerson said on a conference call with reporters.

Akerson had originally planned to stay into the spring or summer.

Since February 2011 Barra has held what many say is the most important job at GM — senior vice president for global product development.

Barra, who joined GM in 1980, is currently in charge of design, engineering and quality for all of GM’s vehicles across the globe and has shepherded most of the company’s recent new vehicle introductions.

Under her command, GM rolled out brawny new full-size pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and the Chevrolet Impala full-size car, which earned the highest score for a sedan in testing by Consumer Reports magazine. Its quality scores also rose in surveys conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. She also led development of the new Chevrolet Corvette and several new Cadillac models.

Akerson took over GM in September 2010, as the company prepared to go public about a year after emerging from bankruptcy protection. During his tenure GM has made billions of dollars in profits and is sitting on $26.8 billion in cash. Its profit margins in North America are a healthy 9 percent. He and Barra

have revamped GM’s lineup of cars and trucks.

On Monday, GM officially shed the derisive moniker of “Government Motors” when the government sold the last of the GM shares it inherited as part of a bailout in 2008 and 2009.

But Barra still needs to trim GM’s costs and win over buyers in markets such as India and South America. One big step in getting there: producing more vehicles that can be sold in multiple markets, such as the Chevrolet Cruze compact car.

The choice of Barra was unanimous, Akerson said, because of her breadth of experience, management and people skills and her understanding of GM’s operations. The GM board considered only internal candidates.

“This is an executive who has a vision of where she wants to take the organization,” he said, adding that Barra took over product development when it was in chaos not long after GM emerged from bankruptcy protection.

Akerson hinted at the move earlier this year when he told a women’s business group in Detroit that a “car gal” would run one of the Detroit Three automakers someday soon.

Rule approved to restrict high-risk trading WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. banks will be barred in most cases from trading for their own profit under a federal rule approved Tuesday.

The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. each unanimously voted to adopt the so-called Volcker Rule, taking a major step toward preventing extreme risk-taking on Wall Street that helped trigger the 2008

financial crisis.

Three other regulators were expected to follow suit Tuesday.

Congress instructed regulators to draft the rule under the 2010 financial overhaul law.

The rule was agreed to after three years of drafts, debates and lobbying by Wall Street banks.

The final version is stricter than many had expected and are intended

to prevent risky trading that required taxpayer-funded bailouts during the crisis.

But the rule still provides some exemptions.

At its heart, the rule seeks to ban banks from almost all proprietary trading. The practice of trading for their own profit has been very lucrative for big banks like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. The rule also limits banks’ investments in

While still tech-heavy, it’s more diverse, reasonably valued and loaded with profitable companies, investors say.

“The Nasdaq is very different, in every measureable, quantifiable way, than it was,” says Gavin Baker, who manages nearly $10 billion in assets for the Fidelity OTC fund.

Technology companies make up a smaller percentage of the index, roughly 42 percent, compared with 56 percent 13 years ago. The telecom industry is a little less than 2 percent, compared with 18 percent back then. And consumer-focused companies such as Amazon.com are a much bigger part of the index, making up 22 percent, compared with basically zero in March 2000.

The Nasdaq recently passed the 4,000 mark, a level last seen in September of 2000.

include the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

The largest U.S. banks — those with $50 billion or more in assets— will be required to fully comply with the terms of the rule by July 2015.

Other banks will have until 2016 to comply.

A Patriotic Christmas

Nasdaq still not at dot-com peak NEW YORK (AP) — It takes a long time to recover from a bad hangover, especially when you party like it’s 1999.

The Nasdaq Composite is up 35 percent this year, but while other major indexes like the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 have celebrated all-time highs again and again, the Nasdaq remains 20 percent below its dot-com peak of 5,048.62.

That’s a good thing because the biggest beneficiary of the late 90s internet mania was also its biggest victim. After cresting on March 10, 2000, the index lost nearly 80 percent of its value over the next two years, touching bottom on Oct. 9, 2002 at 1,114.11. The Dow fell 27 percent over the same period, and the S&P 500 dropped 44 percent.

Even as it soars faster than other indexes, the Nasdaq isn’t what it was.

hedge funds.

Still, the final version allows proprietary trading when it is done to facilitate buying and selling investment for customers. That is known as market-making.

Also exempted from the ban are cases when a bank underwrites a securities offering, and for trading in U.S. government, state and local bonds.

Boyfriend’s ex won’t have unbiased opinion DEAR ABBY: I’m considering marrying a man who is divorced. We get along great, and I love and trust him.

Insulin injections virtually painless today Insulin can’t be taken as a pill; it must be taken by injection or with an insulin pump. (Insulin pumps are generally reserved for people with Type 1 diabetes.)

A diabetes educator will teach you how to measure, prepare and administer the injections.

The ASK DOCTOR K. equipment available today makes Dr. Anthony injections virtually The Komaroff painless. needles are very small; you barely feel them when they pierce your skin. Most people use syringes or insulin “pens.”

A pen injector uses disposable needles and insulin cartridges.

It’s portable and discreet, and it provides multiple accurate doses without your needing to measure and fill syringes.

There are several formulations of insulin. They vary based on how quickly they start working, how long it takes for the insulin to peak and how long it remains active.

Different types of insulin can be used alone or in combination.

The type of insulin and how much and how often you use it varies from person to person. You’ll work with your doctor or diabetes educator to develop an individualized insulin program. Your goal is to maintain a blood sugar level that’s as close to normal as possible without having your blood sugar dip too low.

Low blood sugar can have dangerous consequences of its own. If the sugar goes too low, you can become tired, confused and disoriented. You can even lose consciousness.

DEAR READER: The first thing you need to know is that it is simple to learn and do, and the discomfort is minimal.

Tens of millions of people all over the world do it every day — and probably most of them were afraid that it would be complicated and painful before they actually started taking insulin.

Insulin is a natural hormone that lowers blood sugar in all of us. In people with diabetes, the body no longer can make enough insulin to keep the blood sugar level normal.

Doctors usually recommend insulin for people with Type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise and pills cannot keep blood sugar levels low enough. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels more effectively than any other available diabetes drug.

argument, which it probably will.

Your blood sugar level is affected both by what you eat and how much insulin you take. Most people on insulin or other diabetes medicines check their own blood sugar levels with simple home kits. The doctor may recommend adjustments in the dose of insulin based on these blood levels.

You’ll learn to manage your blood sugar by testing your blood once or twice a day to determine whether you need to adjust your insulin dose.

You’ll use a glucose meter to do the testing; that’s standard equipment for most people with diabetes.

You can refrigerate insulin or store it at room temperature. But don’t freeze it. Also, discard insulin that has expired or looks cloudy or otherwise strange.

Death toll climbing in Africa Local officials take lead on preparedness

BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — More than 500 people have been killed over the past week in sectarian fighting in Central African Republic, aid officials said Tuesday, as France reported that gunmen fatally shot two of its soldiers who were part of the intervention to disarm thousands of rebels accused of attacking civilians.

Aid workers have collected 461 bodies across the capital of Bangui since Thursday, Antoine Mbao Bogo with the local Red Cross said. But that latest figure does not include the scores of Muslim victims whose bodies were brought to mosques for burial.

The government of the predominantly Christian country was overthrown in March by Muslim rebels from the country’s north.

While the rebels claimed no religious motive for seizing power, months of resentment and hostility erupted last week in a wave of violence.

The French deaths came as French President Francois Hollande arrived for a visit to France’s former colony, heading into the tumultuous capital after attending a memorial in South Africa for Nelson Mandela.

The casualties underscore the volatility of the mission to disarm combatants and bring stability to a largely anarchic capital riven by sectarian violence.

A mob on Monday stoned to death a suspected enemy in the street, and armed fighters have abducted and killed hospital patients.

Tensions flared again Tuesday as a mob of young men set fire to a mosque in the Fou neighborhood of the capital, Bangui. Smoke billowed from smoldering vehicles nearby, and young

WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to climate change, local officials have a message for Washington: Lead or get out of the way.

Local governments have long acted as first responders in emergencies and now are working to plan for sea level rise, floods, hurricanes and other extreme events associated with climate change.

As a presidential task force began its work Tuesday, local officials said they want and need federal support but worried that congressional gridlock and balky bureaucratic rules too AP often get in the way.

House announced that John Podesta, a former chief of staff under President Bill Clinton, will join Obama’s inner circle, focusing on energy and climate change issues.

Dixson, a task force member and a Republican, called climate resilience a key part of environmental stewardship. Neither issue should be partisan, he said, nor should it be left to the federal government.

“It has to come from the community level,” he said.

“It can’t be an edict from the Beltway.”

Greensburg’s population has shrunk from about 1,500 people to 850 since the tornado, but Dixson said the town is thriving, even as it continues to recover.

Federal assistance also was crucial after a massive flood in Colorado in September destroyed nearly 2,000 homes, washed out hundreds of miles of roads and left many small mountain towns completely cut off. But even as cities and towns relied on the National Guard and other federal help in the storm’s immediate aftermath, local leaders said the disaster illustrated problems with a one-size-fits-all approach.

In Fort Collins, Colo., for instance, nearly three dozen federal agencies were involved in fixing a road destroyed by a mudslide.

“Half said, ‘No, it can’t be fixed,’” said Fort Collins Mayor Karen Weitkunat.

“The other half said, ‘Go ahead, that’s a problem that needs to be resolved.’”

Younger women drawing closer to men in earnings WASHINGTON (AP) — Young American women are increasingly likely to receive pay nearly equal to their male counterparts, with earnings at 93 percent of men, a new study finds.

Still, those women remain as pessimistic as their mothers and grandmothers regarding gender equality.

A report for release Wednesday by the Pew Research Center paints a mixed picture.

While women under 32 now have higher rates of college completion than men that age, the analysis of census and labor data shows their hourly earnings will slip further behind by

the women’s mid-30s, if the experience of the past three decades is a guide.

That widening gap is due in part to the many women who take time off or reduce their hours to start families. Other factors cited in the report are gender stereotyping, discrimination, weaker professional networks and women’s hesitancy to aggressively push for raises and promotions, which together may account for 20 to 40 percent of the pay gap.

In all, 75 percent of women ages 18-32 say the U.S. needs to do more to bring about equality in the workplace, a percentage

similar to baby boomer women ages 49-67 and higher than other age groups.

Some 57 percent of young men answered that way.

Even so, just 15 percent of young women say they have been discriminated against because of their gender.

“Today’s generation of young women is entering the labor force near parity with men in terms of earnings and extremely well prepared in terms of their educational attainment,” said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. “They feel empowered in many ways,

yet when they look at the workplace, they see it as a ‘man’s world’ with the deck stacked against them.”

“They think that men earn more than women for doing the same job and that it’s easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for women,” she said.

Women are increasingly moving into higher career positions both in government and business. They make up nearly half the workforce, and the share of women in managerial and administrative occupations is nearly equal to that of men — 15 percent compared to 17 percent.

Another landmark came

Tuesday, when General Motors picked Mary Barra, a 33-year company veteran, as the first female head of a major U.S. car company.

Still, women currently hold just 4.5 percent of Fortune 1000 CEO positions, the Pew report said.

Andrew Cherlin, a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University, attributed young women’s negative assessments about gender equality to their rising career expectations. “More doors are now open to women, but they can now see how far they are from equality in high-level jobs,” he said.

The near-equal pay for young women is being

driven in large part by their educational gains. Some 38 percent of women ages 25-32 now hold bachelor’s degrees, compared to 31 percent of young men.

As a result, 49 percent of employed workers with at least a bachelor’s degree last year were women, up from 36 percent in 1980.

That means more women in higher-skilled, higherpaying positions.

The current ratio of hourly earnings for young women to young men, now at 93 percent, is up from 67 percent in 1980 and is the highest in government records dating back to at least 1979.
