Gasbuddy.com shows a couple of stations north of Indianapolis in Westfield selling regular unleaded for as low as $2.91.

Natural gas bills could be 1% higher MERRILLVILLE — NIPSCO said Tuesday that with normal winter temperatures, its customers’ heating bills will be approximately 1 percent higher than last winter’s bills — which were some of the lowest bills in the last decade. Over the course of the five-month winter heating season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — NIPSCO’s average residential customers using a total of 624 therms of natural gas could expect to pay approximately $437. That compares to $433 for a customer using the same amount of gas during last winter. NIPSCO’s projections take into account market forecasts, supply trends and storage levels, among other considerations. NIPSCO said has among the lowest residential gas bills in Indiana, according to comparisons released monthly by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. The utility said actual bills will vary by customer depending on a home’s age and size, the number in the household, number and age of gas appliances, thermostat settings and insulation levels. While winter bill amounts are projected to be relatively flat compared to last winter, the company expects usage amounts to be slightly higher. Last winter’s usage was lower than normal due to warmer temperatures during some months.

Former coach Lou Holtz has lent his name to a Master’s Degree in Leadership program being offered by Trine University.

ANGOLA — Football coach, ESPN analyst and Trine University trustee Lou Holtz has put his name and proven leadership style on Trine’s Lou Holtz Master of Science in Leadership Program. “Coach Holtz has been a friend and supporter of Trine University and we’re proud to teach and follow his amazing leadership style in our MSL Program,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Trine president. “His leadership abilities are visionary and we’re eager to make our already strong program even better with input from him and the addition of new concentrations.” The leadership core courses

feature the use and reading of Holtz’s book “Winning Every Day.” In addition, the curriculum follows Holtz’s three roles that are deemed the cornerstones of effective, visionary and inspiring leadership: do right; do the best you can; show people you care. The book is one of several penned by Holtz that focus on successful strategies for life. “That leadership style incorporates well with our School of Professional Studies because we pride ourselves on providing personal attention as we guide adult learners to the next chapter in their careers,” said Nancy Steigmeyer, who became director

Orland fire destroys structures FROM STAFF REPORTS

ORLAND — Orland Fire and Rescue crews were called into action early Tuesday morning for a shed and barn fire. About 1:30 a.m., firefighters arrived at the Mark Wheeler residence, 8125 W. S.R. 120.

Meeks graduates from FBI Academy

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner traded heated rhetoric yet also showed signs of compromise Tuesday, a frustratingly inconclusive combination that left an eight-day partial government shutdown firmly in place and the threat of an unprecedented national default drawing closer. Stocks fell significantly — the Dow Jones average by 159 points — as political gridlock endured. And, in the latest in a string of dire warnings, the International Monetary Fund said failure to raise America’s debt limit could lead to default and disrupt worldwide financial markets, raise interest rates and push the U.S economy back into recession. Even the deaths of U.S. servicemen over the weekend in Afghanistan were grist for the politicians. The Pentagon said that because of the partial shutdown it was unable to pay the customary death benefits to the survivors. Republican House Speaker John Boehner said Congress had passed legislation last week permitting the payments, adding it was SEE SHUTDOWN, PAGE A6

FROM STAFF REPORTS

ANGOLA — Steuben County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Mike Meeks graduated from the FBI National Academy 254th session on Sept. 20. Meeks was nominated to attend the academy by Sheriff Tim Troyer. There were 208 law enforcement officers from 49 states, the District of Columbia, 22 countries, three military organizations and one federal civilian organization who graduated from the academy’s 254th session in Quantico, Va. The program offers 10 weeks of advanced investigative, management and fitness training for selected officers having proven records as professionals within their agencies, a news release said. On average, officers have 19 years of law enforcement experience and usually return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions. FBI Director James Comey was the principal speaker at the ceremony. Training for the program is provided by the FBI Academy instructional staff, special agents and other staff members holding advanced degrees, many of whom are recognized internationally in their fields of expertise. Since 1972, National Academy students have been able to earn undergraduate and graduate credits from the University of Virginia due to the accreditation by the university. A total of 47,034 graduates now represent the FBI National Academy since it began in July 1935. Approximately 29,521 are still active in law enforcement work. Meeks is the second FBI National Academy graduate currently on staff at the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office. Troyer graduated from the 198th session in September 1999. “The FBI National Academy is the premier law enforcement management and investigation school in the world.

Angola studies water efficiencies BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Angola will contract with two engineering firms for upcoming water treatment plant evaluations in a move aimed toward boosting efficiency. The Angola Common Council approved an engineering service agreement with Donohue/ Herceg & Associates, South Bend, for $30,420 for a water treatment plant evaluation and $16,600 for a north water treatment plant evaluation with Wessler Engineering, Indianapolis. Angola operates two drinking water plants — one on West Mill Street and a satellite water treatment plant in Angola Industrial

Growth Park on the city’s north side. West Mill produces most of the water for the city, but because of capacity issues, it’s not possible to remove the plant form service for major repairs. “We’re bringing them in for help with a five-year plan,â€? said Tom Selman, Angola water superintendent. At the West Mill plant “we’re looking at overall efficiencies.â€? At the West Mill facility, the city would like to address: • replacement of high service pump discharge control valves with swing check valves; • replace high service pump solid state reduced voltage starters with

variable frequency drives; • replace existing aerators; • install a new well and potentially replace raw water lines to improve capacity; • develop a phased replacement plan for the plant’s control system. The satellite plant was constructed in 1989 and has been experiencing capacity issues. In 2002, the plant was upgraded to increase capacity. The city wants Donohue to develop and evaluate a phased replacement for the satellite plant’s control system. Selman said the focus there would also be to bring the plant up to speed. It will also include evaluation and recommen-

dation on improvements for four water towers, a booster at one tower, six wells at the Mill Street plant and three at the satellite plant. The evaluation project is expected to be completed in three months. In other business, the council: • approved the first reading of an ordinance to prohibit parking on the west side of Williams Street from East Mill Street extending 198 feet north; and also on the east side from the center line of East Mill Street extending 259 feet north. • approved a change order decrease with API Construction Corp. for the 2013 street maintenance project for $3,298.

Two win physics Nobel STOCKHOLM (AP) — Nearly 50 years after they came up with the theory, but little more than a year since the world’s biggest atom smasher delivered the proof, Britain’s Peter Higgs and Belgian colleague Francois Englert won the Nobel Prize in physics Englert Tuesday for helping to explain how matter formed after the Big Bang. Working independently in the 1960s, they came up with a theory for how the fundamental building blocks of the universe clumped together, gained mass and formed everything we see around us today. The theory hinged on the existence of a subatomic particle that came to be called the Higgs boson — or the “God particle.” In one of the biggest breakthroughs in physics in decades, scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, announced last year that they had finally found a Higgs boson using the $10 billion collider built in a 17-mile (27-kilometer) tunnel under the Swiss-French border. In a statement issued by the University of Edinburgh, where he retired as a professor, the famously shy, 84-year-old Higgs said he hoped the prize would help people recognize “the value of blue-sky research.” Englert, 80, said the award pointed to the importance of scientific freedom and the need for scientists to be allowed to do fundamental research that doesn’t have immediate practical applications. “You don’t work thinking to get the Nobel Prize,” said Englert, a retired professor at the Free University of Brussels. Still, “we had the impression that we were doing something that was important, that would later on be used by other researchers.” The Nobel selection committees are notoriously cautious, often allowing decades to elapse before honoring a scientific breakthrough.

Animal facts, fables revealed BY ANNETTE RYAN KLEINHENZ

Why does she do that? Is this true about animals? If you work with animals you hear that every day. Scientists have a few answers. Dogs and some cats dig because it’s fun. Catch them in the act of digging up the yard, say a sharp no, and lead or carry them to where you approve of digging. This means you provide them a digging spot. To lure them to it, show them a favorite toy or food treat, and then bury it there. The urge to dig is powerful in some animals and you’ll both be miserable trying to thwart it, so give them a place to dig. BoyBlue dragged his behind across the rough carpet. This displeased his owner Karen. BoyBlue had a personal problem with a sore and itching area under his tail. It could be nothing more than a method to scratch or clean things off, or it might be his anal glands which means a trip to the vet. Karen can catch him in the act and issue a sharp no, but until the problem is resolved, BoyBlue will just do it again. Honey cries out and moans in her sleep. Her legs move like she’s running. She twitches and her owner Jack wonders if she’s in pain. If Honey was well when she went to sleep and pain occurred during her sleep, she would ordinarily waken. When animals are in the deepest phase of their sleep cycle, they may have automatic motions, the same as humans. From lab studies, scientists are sure that dogs and cats dream, and wouldn’t it be fun to know what they dream about? Honey is probably stalking dangerous prey with consummate skill, prowess and ferocity. Maybe she’s chasing the perfect bowl of food, just out of her reach,

that keeps moving the faster she runs. She may be getting a happy belly rub. If Honey’s owner is distressed by Honey’s deep sleep activity it’s OK to waken her. It will still happen when Honey sleeps with no human around. Dreaming is normal, so you may as well just ignore it and have fun wondering what pictures are going through her fuzzy head. Dog’s mouths are not cleaner than a human’s. They use their tongues for toilet paper. You can make your pet sick, too. MRSA can be transmitted between humans and animals. Some strains of viruses such as certain flu viruses can also be transmitted. Use the same common sense precautions with your pets that you would with another human. It also is not true that an animal’s saliva has healing properties. They should not lick wounds. Some lick compulsively to reduce anxiety and may even create sores on their skin called acral lick dermatitis. The cure is to reduce their anxiety and probably one of the Elizabethan collars, aka the Cone of Shame, until the wound is healed. Dogs avoid a direct stare to exhibit that they are no threat to other dogs. When your dog is relaxed and at ease, and also locks eyes with you, scientists believe this is a sign of extreme trust and closeness — love — from a dog. Cats show affection by piercing you with a long stare and then giving a very slow-motion blink. You can return this gesture to show love in return.

most color in a very discerning range of sepia or gray. He’s pretty fond of his cobalt blue blanket, but when he looks at a brilliant sunset he sees the blue and purple but misses the red tones. A yellow plaid tablecloth is gray plaid. Trees are beautiful to him but they are varying shades of sepia or gray, not green. He doesn’t mind, as he doesn’t know better and what he can smell and hear makes up for not seeing the rainbow. Cats have a scent sac on the roof of their mouths. When they want to get a really good whiff of something they sort of curl their lips back and open their mouths. It looks like a peculiar sucking-in grimace or snarl. It’s used primarily when a scent is strong such as when meeting another animal or person, or when a Tom goes scouting to track down that delicious smelling Ms. Tom. Dogs eat grass because

they like vegetables and grass tastes good. If you don’t want your dog eating grass, toss them a carrot or mash some cooked veggies into their kibble. Cats have a very flexible spine that usually allows them to right themselves mid-air and land on their feet, but not always. They can land on their heads, sideways, on their tails and sprain ankles and break legs. Tail wagging is communication. Newborn puppies don’t wag their tails until they learn to communicate with other dogs, between three and 7 weeks old. As adults, some dogs are vigorous communicators and some are more sedate, just as some people are more talkative than others. Kittens need almost daily handling by humans throughout the first 7 weeks of life or they may never relate to people, or tolerate them. This is one reason why feral cats will not come to humans, no

matter how well fed or kindly treated. The wetness of a dog or cats nose depends on the activity in the ducts that carry tears to the nose, and each animal has their own amount of normal wetness. I just checked my three dogs. One nose is desert dry, one is velvety damp, and the other feels like I just slopped a wet washcloth across it. All three dogs are well. A dry or wet nose is not a reliable indicator of illness. Cats have minimal lactase in their systems, the enzyme needed to digest cow’s milk. Most cats’ intestines rebel at cow’s milk and it passes right through. The result is pretty messy. Cats do better on cat food and fresh water. Our pets are individuals, but subject to the laws of nature. It’s fascinating to get to know your cat or dog on a very deep level. We have wonderful animals at the shelter, but you can’t adopt them all. You can

“You can’t keep the roads up if you don’t have the equipment,” Councilman Dan Caruso said. Penick said there were other large pieces of equipment in his department that would need to be replaced in the coming years that would run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Penick talked about a variety of projects the county could take on in the way of maintenance and their cost. For example, he said, it costs about $1,000 to stripe a mile’s worth of road through a private contractor. Councilwoman Ruth Beer joked that the county could save money by using community service

or community corrections people for the task. “There’s no telling where the line would be going,” said Councilman F. Mayo Sanders. Penick also talked about other revenue sources, like a wheel tax that would be charged of every vehicle plated in the county. “I know you don’t like it, but the wheel tax is an option,” Penick said. “Do you want to stand in the front row with that,” asked Council President Rick Shipe. Councilwoman Sara Tubergen said she had heard from constituents who said they would be willing to pay extra for more road maintenance.

take the money from the county’s riverboat gambling revenue fund. That money, which used to be used for general fund obligations, is now kept aside for special purposes. “We need it as soon as possible,” Penick said of the tractor. It will cost approximately $116,000 for the new equipment. It is used to clear brush along county roads, which is a year-round endeavor. There was consideration of using additional money the county received from the Legislature this year, approximately $500,000, but it was decided to use that for road maintenance projects.

“disgraceful” for the administration to say otherwise. In Congress, a plan by Senate Democrats to raise the debt limit by $1 trillion to stave off a possible default drew little evidence of support from Republicans. And a proposal by the House Republicans to create a working group of 20 lawmakers to tackle deficit

issues drew a veto threat from the White House, the latest in a string of them as the administration insists the GOP reopen the government and avert default before any negotiations on deficit reduction or the three-year-old health care law can take place. Republicans “don’t get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their jobs,” Obama

said at the White House. “They don’t also get to say, you know, unless you give me what the voters rejected in the last election, I’m going to cause a recession.” On a day in which both Obama and Boehner appeared on live television, both men appeared to be giving ground yet yielding little if anything of substance.

Yellen pick for Fed WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will nominate Federal Reserve vice chair Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as chairman of the nation’s central bank, the White House said Tuesday. Yellen would be the first woman to head the powerful Fed, taking over at a pivotal time for the economy and the banking industry. Both Yellen and Bernanke are scheduled to appear with Obama at the White House on Wednesday for a formal announcement. Bernanke will serve until his term ends Jan. 31, completing a remarkable eight-year tenure in which he helped pull the U.S.

economy out of the worst financial crisis and recession since the 1930’s. Under Bernanke’s leadership, the Fed created extraordinary programs after the financial crisis erupted in 2008 that are credited with helping save the U.S. banking system. The Fed lent money to banks after credit markets froze, cut its key short-term interest rate to near zero and bought trillions in bonds to lower long-term borrowing rates. Yellen, 67, emerged as the leading candidate after Lawrence Summers, a former Treasury secretary whom Obama was thought to favor, withdrew from consideration last month.

Knights move on, Angola ousted BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@media.com

GAME 4 DETROIT................................8 OAKLAND............................6

Briefly •

Lynx blast Dream; 1 win from title MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Seimone Augustus scored 20 points and Lindsay Whalen had 14 points and five assists to push the Minnesota Lynx to the brink of their second title in three seasons with an 88-63 victory over the Atlanta Dream in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals on Tuesday night. Rebekkah Brunson had 12 points and 10 rebounds and Maya Moore chipped in 14 points and eight boards for the Lynx, who lead the best-of-five series 2-0. Angel McCoughtry scored 15 points for the Dream, but she made just 5 of 18 shots and was in foul trouble for most of the night. Game 3 is on Thursday night in Georgia. The series is taking on a similar tone to the first time these two met in the finals two years ago, when the Lynx swept the Dream for the franchise’s first title. Minnesota was upset by Indiana in the finals last year, and entered this series determined to show last year’s disappointment was a fluke. The Lynx controlled Game 1 from the opening tip, leading by as many as 31 points en route to an 84-59 victory and came into Game 2 overflowing with confidence. Dream coach Fred Williams had to shuffle his starting lineup after sparkplug Tiffany Hayes injured her back and tailbone on a nasty spill in Game 1. The Dream went big with 6-foot-4 Aneika Henry next to the 6-foot-5 Erika De Souza. Henry was one of the few Dream players who had any success in the series opening blowout, but she was quiet on Tuesday night.

DUNLAP — Local teams East Noble and Angola had the clear advantage over their Concord Regional semifinal opponents in doubles Tuesday. But they had to find a way to win a singles match to play in today’s regional final. The Knights did, though it was tougher the second time around. Junior Evan Hart won the deciding match at No. 2 singles over Fairfield junior Adam Yoder in three sets to give EN a 3-2 victory over the Falcons. East Noble (14-4) will play the host Minutemen today at 5 p.m. Concord was led by their experienced singles play in defeating

two-time reigning regional champion Angola 3-2. The Knights defeated Fairfield 3-2 on Sept. 20 in Kendallville. The same three positions for EN beat Fairfield on Tuesday outside of Elkhart. The senior No. 1 doubles team of Jonathan Toles and Carl Kramer and the No. 2 doubles team of senior Brennen Biggins and junior Adam Albertin both won in straight sets. The only action that mattered and drew a crowd on the upper west courts later in the evening was the No. 2 singles match between Hart and Yoder. And it included line judges for the third set at Yoder’s request after Yoder drew even by winning the second set.

Hart was unfazed by the added eyes of a Fairfield assistant coach and EN coach Nathan Toles at the net and dominated Yoder in a third set that lasted just under 20 minutes. Hart won 6-1, 2-6, 6-1 to improve to 23-3 on the season. “After losing that second set, we got Evan off the court to take a break between the second and third sets. He came down to the kids and said ‘I’m not going to let the team down,’” Toles said. “When he tells me something, I believe it. “Evan is the most coachable kid I’ve had. He’s a self-motivator. I’m impressed by his conduct on the court. The line judges motivated him.” SEE TENNIS, PAGE B2

Detroit Tigers’s Jhonny Peralta, right, is congratulated by teammate Prince Fielder after hitting three-run home run during the fifth inning of

Game 4 of baseball’s American League division series against the Oakland Athletics in Detroit, Tuesday.

Tigers even up series DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers are heading back to California with the help of Max Scherzer and some fans in right field. During a relief outing to remember, Scherzer escaped a major jam one inning after two fans reached out to try to reel in Victor Martinez’s disputed home run, and the Tigers rallied past the Oakland Athletics 8-6 on Tuesday to force a decisive fifth game in their AL division series. Playing catch-up most of the way, the Tigers tied it first with Jhonny Peralta’s three-run homer in the fifth inning and then on Martinez’s solo shot in the seventh. A couple of fans attempted to catch Martinez’s drive, and at least one of them bobbled the ball as he reached over the railing above the wall. That prevented right fielder Josh Reddick from having any chance at a leaping grab. Reddick and center

fielder Coco Crisp immediately protested, pointing up at the stands in the hope of a fan-interference call. But umpires upheld the home run after a replay review. Scherzer, making his first relief appearance since the 2011 postseason, gave up a run in the seventh and got in trouble again in the eighth. With the Tigers ahead 5-4, he allowed a walk and a double to start the inning, but after an intentional walk to load the bases, manager Jim Leyland left his 21-game winner on the mound. Scherzer struck out Reddick and Stephen Vogt before getting pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo to line out to center. “It was surreal,” Scherzer said. “Maybe it’s not the ninth inning, but that’s the stuff you dream about pitching — bases loaded, eighth inning, no outs and I was able to do it.” Detroit, hitless through the first four innings in a game of twists

and turns, added three runs in the eighth on a wild pitch and a two-run double by Omar Infante that made it 8-4. Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run single in the ninth, bringing the potential tying run to the plate, but Joaquin Benoit struck out Seth Smith to end it. After avoiding elimination, the Tigers can now send Justin Verlander to the mound for Game 5 on Thursday night in Oakland. Verlander shut out the A’s at the Coliseum in the decisive fifth game of the division series last year. Scherzer was in line to start Game 5 before being pressed into service Tuesday. “We took our best shot and we had to because we were behind the 8-ball a little bit,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “We took that shot and, hey, both teams are going to have a good pitcher going two days from now.”

AUBURN — Lakewood Park got off to a slow start in Tuesday’s volleyball match with Eastside. Once the Panthers got rolling, however, there was no stopping them in a 25-13, 25-14, 25-7 win over the Blazers. The Panthers (23-5) got 18 kills from junior Brittan Carnahan and 12 more from classmate Naomi Page. “We started not playing very much like a team, and then we started to be more aggressive at the net, and our passes started to get better,” said Lakewood Park coach Laura Hibbard. “We’re working on running lots of plays, and Naomi Page, from the middle, did those very effectively. Brittan is a great outside hitter, and she can put away most balls,” Hibbard said. “Together, they had 30 kills. I can’t ask for anything more from two hitters.” The Panthers trailed 7-2 in game one, but two kills by Carnahan enabled to hosts to draw even at 12. From there, Lakewood Park allowed only one more Eastside point, a kill by Kailen Berry. Another Carnahan kill ended the first game 25-13. Lakewood Park led 17-8 following a Page ace in game two, and a Page kill ended that contest 25-14. A Chloe McRobbie ace gave the Panthers a 7-5 lead in game three. Two Page kills and one by Carnahan staked the hosts to a 17-7 lead, and the hosts cruised from there. Kendall Snyder was 27-of-28 at the serving line, with three aces for Lakewood Park. McRobbie and Snyder had 13 digs each, and Brooke Herendeen had 40 assists. SEE VOLLEYBALL, PAGE B2

Westview, Lakeland score sectional shutouts BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

EMMA — Grace St. Clair never looked bored. But the Westview goalkeeper didn’t have a lot to keep her occupied on the way to a shutout performance over Garrett. A stingy defense in front of the Warrior keeper wouldn’t allow that. The Warriors took their string of sectional shutouts to six games with a 3-0 victory over Garrett on Tuesday in semifinal play at the Westview girls soccer sectional. “It makes me feel good when I rarely have to touch the ball during a game,” St. Clair said. “I just go out and try to do my best.” Westview, which is aiming for a third-straight title, hasn’t given up a goal in sectional competition since a 2011 loss to Warsaw. The Warriors outscored their opponents 29-0 on the way to their last two sectional titles. “We wanted to make sure we possessed the ball,” explained Westview coach Jon Jantzi.

“Garrett had some fast forwards in the front line. We couldn’t give them an inch, they’d take a mile.” Westview advances to meet Lakeland in semifinal play on Thursday at Westview with a 7 p.m. start. Lakeland was able to move on with a 2-0 win over Bethany Christian. Thursday’s other girls semifinal game will feature West Noble and Central Noble at 5 p.m. The Cougars defeated Lakewood Park by a 5-0 margin in a first-round game on Monday. Westview 3, Garrett 0 Garrett closes the season with an 8-8-1 record. “It was a tough first round for us, we drew the best team in the sectional,” explained Garrett coach Austin Freels. “A couple of shots slipped through our hands early and that hurt us.” It took the Warriors less than four minutes to get on the scoreboard. Riley Hochstetler fired a long shot that went in and out of the hands of the Railroader keeper for a 1-0 margin.

“We knew we had the opportunity to take some shots from the outside,” Jantzi said. “We talk about five minutes of pressure right off the bat and try to get that first goal.” Tessa Zimmerly added a score on a penalty kick and Steph Mowery also struck before the half, sending the Warriors to the break with a 3-0 lead. Neither team scored in the second half. Westview took honors in the NECC tournament for the fifth-straight season, earned the NECC regular season title, and took the squad’s first outright title in the Northern Indiana Soccer Conference. “That’s a pretty good year,” Jantzi said. Westview beat Lakeland during regular season play, but Jantzi knows the Lakers will come prepared to play on Thursday. “They’ll play hard and come out with intensity,” he said. “We won’t take them lightly, take it just SEE SOCCER, PAGE B3

Colts lose RB Bradshaw for season INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ahmad Bradshaw’s season is over and his brief stop in Indy might be, too. Team owner Jim Irsay said Tuesday that the running back will miss the rest of the season after opting for season-surgery on his injured neck. The former Giants star was injured two weeks ago during a game at San Francisco and had been debating whether to undergo surgery or see if he could recover with rest. Bradshaw has already been placed on the injured reserve list. Irsay confirmed the news while to speaking to reporters at the NFL owners meeting in AP Washington. In this Sept. 22 photo, Indianapolis Colts running with knowledge of Bradshaw’s medical options The decision came sooner back Ahmad Bradshaw (44) runs against the San confirmed the decision Tuesday.

Coaches eager to watch new Boiler signal-caller WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — Danny Etling fit the part Tuesday. Decked out in a three-piece suit with rosy red cheeks and a beaming smile, Purdue’s new starting quarterback nervously answered question after question in the same basement cafeteria where so many other big-name Boilermakers had stood before — Drew Brees, Rosevelt Colvin, Ryan Kerrigan, Matt Light, Kyle Orton and Shaun Phillips. The excitable freshman couldn’t believe he was already here. “It’s something you’ve dreamed of all your life, to be a starting quarterback in the Big Ten,” Etling said Tuesday. “It’s kind of weird to have a dream come true, that’s I guess the best way I can describe it.” Etling hasn’t given much thought to the significance of being the quarterback of the future as this quarterback rich school. He’s more concerned with getting Purdue’s stalled offense jump-started. So Etling spent his time during the bye week studying game tape, quietly calling out plays and trying to get in sync with his receivers before making his first career start Saturday against Nebraska (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten). Expectations are high for the 19-year-old, who graduated early from Terre Haute South so he could start college in January.

Railroaders win ACAC tourney opener

Purdue quarterback Danny Etling looks to pass the ball against Northern Illinois during an NCAA college football game in West Lafayette on Saturday, Sept. 28.

When he replaced fifth-year senior and team captain Rob Henry with 35 seconds left in the Sept. 28 loss to Northern Illinois, the crowd roared with approval. Nothing has been the same since then. By the time Etling picked up his cellphone after the postgame news conference, it was filled with text messages, and now the anonymity of walking around campus peacefully has been replaced by other students asking if he was actually Danny Etling. “I’m like, yeah,” Etling

said with a giggle. But the three days between the Northern Illinois game and last Tuesday, when coach Darrell Hazell called each quarterback to his office to explain the decision, were filled with tension and excitement. Etling wasn’t sure what would happen. Hazell didn’t debate it long. “I slept on it, and I had a pretty good idea and I called coach (John) Shoop in and we talked about it,” Hazell said.

running into a linemen in the second quarter. He dropped to one knee and trainers appeared to be looking at his shoulder on the sideline. Again, Bradshaw returned, finishing the game with 19 carries for 95 yards and another score. He hadn’t practiced or played since. “He’s tired. He’s been doing a lot of traveling,” Pagano said Friday. “(Mentally) he’s great. He’s great.” In seven seasons, Bradshaw has rushed 962 times for 4,418 and 34 touchdowns. He’s also caught 139 passes for 1,129 yards and three scores. Irsay told reporters that the Colts are not planning to make another big move for a running back and will instead look to Richardson and Donald Brown to take on bigger roles this season. Richardson has run 51 times for 151 yards and two TDs since joining the Colts. Brown, Indy’s first-round pick in 2009, has rushed 19 times for 157 yards and one TD — the winning score in Sunday’s 34-28 victory over previously unbeaten Seattle. The Colts also waived fullback Robert Hughes, a sign that Indy expects starting fullback Stanley Havili to return from an ankle injury this week, and released rookie running back Kerwynn Williams, Indy’s seventh-round pick in April.

College Golf Thunder men secure MIAA tourney spot GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Trine University’s men’s golf team secured a spot in the four-team, 54-hole Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association NCAA qualifier tournament in the spring on the final league jamboree hosted by Calvin Monday at Watermark Golf Club. The Thunder was fourth in the jamboree with a 317, which was four shots behind first-place Hope. Trine finished third overall this fall with 2,461, which was five shots behind second-place Calvin and 30 shots ahead of fourthplace Adrian. The Flying Dutchmen won the conference title with 2,435.

On Monday, Graham Bennett was tied for second with a 76 and Nolan Eli was tied for fifth with 77 to lead Trine. Alma’s Chris Williamson was medalist with a 75. The Thunder also had an 80 from Connor Dwyer and 84s from Bryce Moore and Cody Knapp. Max Gordon played as an individual and shot 87. Two Trine seniors earned All-MIAA honors. Bennett made the league’s First Team and Eli made the All-MIAA Second team. Bennett, from Charlotte, N.C., played in all eight jamborees and averaged 76.9. Eli, from Genoa, Ohio, played in seven jamborees and averaged 77.9 per round. Hope freshman Winton Munch led the MIAA in scoring average and was named the conference’s most valuable player. Olivet senior Nick Julian received the MIAA Sportsmanship Award.

Corrections Information on the Trine-Kalamazoo football series was incorrect in a story in Sunday’s edition of this newspaper on the Hornets’ 38-31 road victory over the Thunder Saturday. Saturday marked the first time Kalamazoo beat the Thunder in football since 2006, which was Matt Land’s first season as the Thunder head coach while the Angola college was called Tri-State University. Land-led Thunder football teams are 6-2 against Kalamazoo. Also, Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association officials mistakenly released the league’s 2013 all-conference men’s golf team on Monday, and Trine honorees were mentioned in a brief in this newspaper. A mistake was discovered in the calculation of the two teams. First Team and Second Team all-conference golfers mentioned have been taken back. The only honors that remain official are Hope freshman Winton Munch as the MIAA Most Valuable Player and Olivet senior Nick Julian as the Sportsmanship Award recipient. This newspaper regrets the errors.

SOCCER: Lakeland, CN pick up victories FROM PAGE B1

take it just like a championship game.” Lakeland 2, Bethany Christian 0 The Lakers scored both of their goals in the second half. “We made some big changes on the field in the second half,” explained Lakeland coach Megan Hamilton. “Hopefully come Thursday we can pick up the intensity more.” Lakeland struck seven and a half minutes into the second half when Becca Levitz connected on a long shot that bounced

off the gloves of the Bethany Christian keeper and into the goal. The second goal came with 8:24 to play, with Samantha Gieseking scoring. The Lakers are 8-6-1 and in the midst of their first winning season in six years. Lakeland is looking for its first girls sectional soccer title. “Westview, they’ve always been a strong team to play,” Hamilton said. “We’re hoping we can play with them.” Central Noble 5, Lakewood Park 0

In the opening game of the tournament, Central Noble’s Tiffany Simcox scored three times to send the Cougars into the next round. Also finding the back of the net were Janessa Fogle and Daria Gaff. The Cougars had 19 shots in the game, eight from Simcox and seven from Becca Henderson. Kayla Dull and Jordyn Zinnel teamed up in goal for the shutout. Central Noble went against semifinal opponent West Noble on Sept. 26 and won a tight 2-1 contest.

It was a tougher match the second time around for Hart against Yoder. Hart defeated the Falcon junior 6-3, 6-0 nearly three weeks ago in Kendallville. “I came into the match very positive. I could not look past this match,” Hart said. “I was being aggressive early and making very few mistakes. In the second set, I was a little lazy. My footwork wasn’t (working) too well. “My teammates got me going in the third set. They gave me so much energy. It’s pretty special. It’s nice to reach (a regional final).” East Noble will be going for its first team regional championship in boys tennis. “I’m super pumped

up,” Toles said. “It’s been so long since we’ve been to a regional final. These kids have worked so hard and want to reach another goal.” The Knights wanted to get another chance at Angola in a regional final. The Hornets took the two doubles matches to take a 2-0 lead. But they could not overcome the strong Concord singles trio of senior Nick Pollock at No. 1, Bolivian exchange student Bernardo Cadario at No. 2 and senior Jared Searer at No. 3. They all won in straight sets. “They came out and played great tennis,” Hornets coach Scott Hottell said of the Minutemen singles guys. “We matched them a little bit, but we can’t be

upset. “The preseason starts tomorrow for everybody except for Markus (Arnold) and Craig (Nofziger). The work ethic of the kids has been phenomenal. We maintained a tradition of excellence and that will continue.” Arnold and Nofziger was the first of the matches in the semifinal duals to end and they wiped out Concord’s Aaron Allen and Mitchell Boyer 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1 doubles. The Angola duo is 3-0 in state tournament play and will continue play in the doubles sectional tournament at Concord either on Friday or Saturday. “They played lights out,” Hornet assistant coach Mark Stump said of Arnold and Nofziger.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Super Bowl organizers making hard push for Indy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis is going all out to get the 2018 Super Bowl. Shortly after NFL owners announced Tuesday that Indy, Minneapolis and New Orleans are the finalists for the league’s marquee game, two members from Indy’s bid committee told reporters they will raise the bar from the 2012 game, which drew rave reviews. Indy and New Orleans have hosted the last two Super Bowls. New Orleans is hoping to get the game to help celebrate the 300th anniversary of the city’s founding. Minneapolis last hosted the game in 1992 and is opening a new stadium. Bid committee vice chairwoman Cathy Langham said potential donors would now be contacted in an effort to raise $30 million in private funding before the formal presentation in May.

Sweeney staying with Cubs CHICAGO — Ryan Sweeney says he’s staying with the Chicago Cubs. The outfielder posted Tuesday on Twitter that he’s “so excited to be back in Chicago” and thanked the organization and fans for believing in him. Sweeney batted .266 with six homers and 19 RBIs in 70 games this season. He spent time on the 60-day disabled list because of a broken rib after he crashed into a wall in late June.

Kentucky high schools told no postgame handshakes LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky’s athletic sanctioning body has ordered high schools not to conduct postgame handshakes in all sports following more than two dozen physical confrontations the past three years. Tuesday’s directive from Kentucky High School Athletic Association Commissioner Julian Tackett posted on its web site didn’t mention specific fights or conflicts but said several fall sports have had postgame incidents. The organization says it’s “disappointing” to take such action but that it became necessary because of occurrences statewide and nationally. KHSAA has also instructed game officials to immediately leave facilities after contests or risk being penalized. Teams can choose to ignore the order. Schools that can conduct handshakes must supervise the activity and report any incidents to KHSAA. Member schools or coaches that engage in unsportsmanlike behavior will be fined and penalized.

Stanford, BYU agree to series starting in 2020 STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Stanford and BYU have agreed to play a four-game series beginning in 2020. Stanford will host the first two games of the series in 2020 and 2022. BYU will host the next two in 2023 and 2025. The schools have met just twice previously. Stanford beat BYU 18-14 in Provo in 2003 and 37-10 in 2004 at Stanford Stadium. Stanford also is traveling to the Beehive State this week. The fifth-ranked Cardinal play at Utah in a Pac-12 Conference game Saturday.

“They just need to do what they have been doing.” Hottell continued, “They keep playing out of their minds. Craig is the steady, calm one. Markus is like the lightning rod. I’ve not anyone hit harder like he does since Kyle Dygert.” The senior Arnold and junior Nofziger has brought comparisons to the great AHS doubles team of Dygert and Clint Jackson at the turn of the 21st century. Arnold is like Dygert where baseball are their best sport. Dygert went on to have a nice baseball career at Ball State. Hornet senior Cody Nickols won his final match at No. 2 doubles with freshman teammate Jake Honer 6-3, 6-2 over Concord’s Mitchell

Lozier and Riley Huffer. Hornet senior Cameron Hall played his final match for AHS, losing to Pollock 6-4, 6-2 at No. 1 singles. Hall is the third AHS tennis player to play on four sectional championship teams. Jake Stump and Trudy Wright were the others. “Cody came back from knee surgery two years ago and did a great job bringing Jake along,” Hottell said. “Cam has grown up so much since his freshman year. It’s been a lot of fun working with them.” The Hornets finish at 12-6. Westview’s No. 1 doubles team of Hunter Christner and Jamar Weaver will be playing against Northridge in the doubles sectional tournament today at Concord.

NEW YORK (AP) — Quarterback Mark Sanchez has undergone seasonending surgery on his injured right shoulder, possibly also signaling the end of his New York Jets career. The surgery on the torn labrum was performed by Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday, the team announced on Twitter and its official site. Sanchez, who hasn’t played since being injured in the third preseason game, says in a statement that he was advised by Andrews and other doctors to have surgery. Sanchez says he’s “disappointed” by not being able to play this season, but expects a full recovery. A hefty contract, however, could make him a salary cap casualty in the offseason. Sanchez was in a tight competition with rookie Geno Smith for the starting job this summer before being hurt against the Giants.

Prosecutors drop domestic case against Lawson CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) -- The domestic violence case against Denver Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson has been dropped. Lisa Pinto, a spokeswoman for 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, said Tuesday that, “based on our continued investigation and developments after the filing of the cases, we dismissed the cases in the interest of justice.” Lawson and his girlfriend were arrested following a fight at their home in August. At media day nearly two weeks ago, Lawson said he was ready to put the incident behind him. Lawson said: “This is what I live for, the basketball court. This is my safe haven.” The Nuggets play an exhibition game against the Lakers tonight.

BY THE REV. YOHANNES MENGSTEAB

Comprehensive immigration reform must be just that, an all-embracing strategy that addresses issues ranging from the protection of families and children, to assuring sufficient visa allocations for the many different types of foreign-born workers our economy must have to thrive. I support such a comprehensive plan and am very hopeful that the U.S. House of Representatives will approve one in the coming weeks. The Senate crafted workable legislation that would make a good basis for House members to consider. It includes reasonable border security upgrades, expansion of visa programs for both seasonal workers and high-skilled college graduates, YOHANNE and assures humane treatment for immigrant families, MENGSTEAB children, and asylum seekers. It also protects employers and • employees with an e-verify system, and creates a pathway to citizenship for undocumented workers. These are all commonsense strategies that not only uphold America’s long-held status as the most welcoming — and consequently the strongest — nation in the world, but also support our economic growth and the ready availability of jobs for family breadwinners. In Indiana, studies estimate that a pathway to citizenship would generate more than 7,600 new jobs and add $630 million to our state economic output by 2020. A policy change to allow more H-1B visas for high-skilled college graduates would also dramatically boost our economic growth, adding 3,200 jobs and $279 million to Indiana GSP in 2014 alone. Making better use of the talents and training of foreign-born college grads is especially important here in Indiana. We are all justifiably proud of our higher educational institutions, including the Indiana University system and Purdue, that have helped make our state a hub of innovation in science, technology, engineering and math. Many of the people who earn diplomas in these “STEM” fields of study, so vital to the competitiveness of modern high-tech industries, are temporary residents of the U.S. with no guarantee of being able to remain here after graduation. In 2009, almost half of all Indiana Masters and doctoral degree recipients were immigrants, including over 63 percent of engineering PhDs. Denying these bright, industrious graduates an opportunity to stay here and build careers with American companies is not just a personal loss for them, it is a tragic loss for the U.S. economy and the millions of American workers who will have fewer future job opportunities because our shortsighted immigration statutes. Immigrants not only succeed as employees, they have a long-established track record of entrepreneurship that has resulted in the founding of countless U.S. companies. In 2011, immigrants started 28 percent of all new U.S. businesses, even though they make up less than 13 percent of our total population. More than 40 percent of all Fortune 500 firms were started by first or second-generation immigrants. My personal immigration story began 30 years ago, fleeing political oppression on another continent. I know what it is like to leave everything behind to start a new life and how difficult it can be to overcome the many challenges immigrants face. I also know what it is like to succeed in this country, embrace life here, and become a productive, patriotic citizen of the United States. I support comprehensive reform legislation that will give other immigrants the same opportunity that I have had, and millions of others have had — that all our families have had at some point in the past. Fixing our broken immigration system is the right thing and the smart thing to do. I call on all the members of Indiana’s delegation in the House of Representatives to work without ceasing until this important task is complete. THE REV. DR.

George Rogers Clark saved Indiana If not for George Rogers Clark, we Hoosiers might snack on scones with jam and clotted cream and speak with cockney accents. An exaggeration perhaps, but as Kelley Morgan points out, “George Rogers Clark was almost singlehandedly responsible for the U.S. gaining the Old Northwest Territory.” Morgan is interpretive manager at Falls of the Ohio State Park in Clarksville, where a representation of Clark’s retirement home overlooks the falls with stunning views of the Ohio River. A native of Tennessee, Morgan was unfamiliar with Clark until coming to Indiana, and she laments that so few Americans know his story. “I think George ended up being overshadowed by his younger brother William” of Lewis and Clark fame. George Clark was born in 1752 in Virginia and was a lifelong friend of President Thomas Jefferson with whom he shared passions for science, zoology and the culture of Native Americans. At age 20, Clark went west on a surveying trip and claimed land for himself and friends in what would become Kentucky. Life was tense there due to constant warfare with Native Americans and British laws against westward settlement.

In June 1776, his fellow citizens asked Clark to lobby the state of Virginia for military assistance and stronger political ties. The charismatic redhead proved persuasive. Virginia, though preoccupied with the coming war for independence, granted Kentucky status as a county and supplied 500 pounds of gunpowder. By 1777, Clark realized that the British ANDREA were inciting Native American NEAL harassment of settlers, including paying bounties for prisoners and scalps. The Virginia legislature granted Clark a commission as lieutenant colonel and permission to gather troops. Clark set his sights on capturing British forts in the Old Northwest, the territory that would become Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Virginia Gov. Patrick Henry authorized Clark to attack the

•

British fort of Kaskaskia (Illinois) in French-occupied territory on the Mississippi River. Clark set up a supply base at the Falls of the Ohio. Clark and his men surprised Kaskaskia on July 4, 1778, taking the fort and town without firing a shot. In coming months, Clark rallied support from the French while planning another bold move against the British at Fort Sackville in Vincennes. “On February 23, they surprised Vincennes,” according to the Indiana Historical Bureau account. “Clark ordered that all of the company’s flags be marched back and forth behind a slight rise to convince the British that there were 600 men rather than under 200. They opened fire on the fort with such accuracy that the British were prevented from opening their gun ports.” On Feb. 25, British Officer Henry Hamilton surrendered. The British never regained control and “American claims in the Old Northwest served as the basis of the cession of these lands to the United States at the Treaty of Paris in 1783.” Clark spent much of his personal fortune on the war effort and was never repaid; he

died in poverty and obscurity. His heroism is appropriately remembered at Clarksville and at Vincennes where the National Park Service operates a memorial in his honor.

Government shutdown: Is anyone really thinking? BY DAVID M. SHRIBMAN

Of all the questions prompted by the governmental shutdown, this may be the most persistent, the one that the most Americans, alternately bewildered and horrified by the spectacle in the capital, found utterly confounding: What were they thinking? For the truth is that none of the principals marched unthinkingly into the shutdown showdown. They knew what they were doing, and they had examined the tactics and consequences. This confrontation may have seemed thoughtless, but it was just the opposite. This is what they were thinking: Barack Obama Pilloried for being weak and indecisive on Syria, hectored by the conservative wing of the Republican Party, clinging to Obamacare as his only substantial legacy, the president had little choice but to project strength and refuse to compromise with his rivals. Ordinarily, a government shutdown reflects badly on the head of state, but in this case Obama knew that the Showdown at Shutdown Gulch redounded to his benefit, at least in the short term, and he proceeded with the sure knowledge that the public would blame the inconvenience and interruptions on the Republicans. Unlike almost every other episode in the Obama years, the plate tectonics of this confrontation worked to the president’s advantage. To be sure, to conservatives he looked like an uncompromising zealot, but it wasn’t the conservatives’ approval that he sought or needed. To the rest of the American public, he looked, perhaps for the first time in years, like the calm steward of the nation, a sharp contrast to the insurgents in the House Republican conference. John Boehner From the start the speaker knew the risks involved when a Republican House pushes the government into paralysis. He remembers the last such incident. He knew, too, that his own leadership position was at risk in two dimensions — first in the view of Republican regulars, in his own chamber as well as in the Senate, who

worried that the party was jeopardizing its future ‘92, who inspires the sort of resentment among liberals that Obama, Columbia ‘83, does among in a futile jeremiad against the president; and then in the view of the GOP rebels who doubted conservatives. They are Ivy Leaguers (and his commitment to conservative values and who Harvard Law graduates) against the stereotype. In his quasi-filibuster against Obamacare were skeptical of his impulse to make a deal and then in his efforts to keep conservative rather than to make a point. There was another danger for Boehner as this discipline among House members, Cruz won the opprobrium of mainstream Republicans but the crisis unfolded. In the 1995-1996 government approbation of conservatives, who could become shutdown, House Speaker Newt Gingrich was the leader of the rebellion and a willing conscript an important bloc of support if he seeks the GOP presidential nomination in 2016. in the shutdown militia.

Moreover, he knew, in support for the movement, now at 23 percent, is the classic phrase, that he had to get ahead of down by 11 percentage points in three years, a the people who, in public at least, were behind him. That unusual political physics led him to precipitous drop. But that might not matter in a volunteer, reluctantly, to be the front man for this Republican primary, where the tea partiers are rebellion. likely to be more committed and more likely to House conservatives vote than other Republicans — the 21st-cenOn the surface, this increasingly important tury equivalents of religious conservatives in faction of the Republican coalition mobilized to the 1980s.

Indiana suing over rules for health overhaul

Man who set self on fire suffered from mental illness MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. (AP) — The death of a New Jersey man who set himself on fire on the National Mall was the result of his long fight with mental illness, not a political statement, his family said. John Constantino, 64, of Mount Laurel, N.J., poured the contents of a canister of gasoline on himself in the center portion of the mall Friday afternoon, police said. He then set himself ablaze, with passing joggers taking off their shirts to help put out the flames. Police had said Constantino was conscious and breathing at the scene, but he died later that night at a Washington hospital. “John Constantino was a loving father and husband. His death was not a political act or statement, but the result of his long battle with mental illness,” his family said in a statement issued through lawyer Jeffrey Cox. After he set himself on fire, there was speculation about whether his self-immolation was an effort to protest the federal government shutdown, President Barack Obama’s health insurance overhaul, or anything else.

DNA helps police identify mother of ‘Baby Hope’ NEW YORK (AP) — In a dramatic break in a cold case more than two decades old, investigators used DNA to identify the mother of a dead child known only as Baby Hope, police said Tuesday. The New York Police Department received a tip from someone after a publicity push over the summer, police officials said. The tip led to the woman, whose name was being withheld amid a homicide investigation. “A DNA match was made with the mother, and the mother is cooperating,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told reporters on Tuesday. Kelly declined to discuss the case further as investigators try to determine the circumstances of the 3- to 5-year-old girl’s death. “Obviously, homicide is a distinct possibility here, so we’re going to go forward in that direction,” Kelly said. Besides the mother, police also were speaking to other people. No official suspects have been named.

People • 50 Cent part of new reality show NEW YORK (AP) — 50 Cent said he’s excited to be part of the new Sundance series “Dream School” because the reality show focuses on 50 Cent uplifting people. “Dream School,” which debuted Monday (10 p.m. EDT), follows a group of high school dropouts who are trying to graduate. 50 Cent appears in the series with filmmaker Oliver Stone and actor David Arquette. “The actual reality programs that exist right now … kind of focus on the train wreck, and this show is more about providing opportunity,” the 38-yearold rapper said in an interview last week. The 15 teenagers from the Los Angeles area who appear in the designed “dream school” dropped out of high school because of issues including fighting, financial problems and pregnancy. One transgender student said bullying forced him out of school and another didn’t enter the ninth grade because he wanted to care for his cancer-stricken mother.

Opposition fighters reload a launcher during their attack over Syrian government forces’ Wadi al-Deef military post in Maaret al-Numan in the Idlib province

of Syria Tuesday. Syrian government warplanes bombed rebel positions near the strategic northern city on Tuesday, activists said.

Rebels try to recapture base from Syrian army MAARET AL-NUMAN, Syria (AP) — Rebel fighters dressed in camouflage uniforms carefully loaded mortar rounds, then with a loud boom and a burst of smoke the shells zipped off in the direction of a nearby government army base. “We are coming to get you, shabiha!” a man surrounded by rebel fighters shouted in an apparent reference to President Bashar Assad, using the term the opposition uses to refer to pro-government gunmen. The shelling Tuesday, the latest salvo in an assault on the military facility, was part of a broader rebel effort to capture the remaining regime outposts in the largely opposition-held countryside of northern Syria. Dramatic footage shot by The Associated Press showed a group of 45 young rebel fighters launching an attack on the military

base, and others deploying improvised cannons and makeshift mortars. Some were also seen firing anti-aircraft weapons at attacking government helicopters. The rebels captured the strategic city of Maaret al-Numan a year ago after systematically seizing the army’s outposts in the area, a major supply route linking the capital, Damascus, with the contested Idlib region and Syria’s largest city, Aleppo. But despite repeated assaults on the nearby military installation of Hamidiyeh, in the Wadi Deif area east of the city, the rebel fighters have failed to break through the heavily fortified base. The latest operation began Monday, and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said many Libyan fighters were battling on the rebel side. It said regime

Nieman Marcus gift ideas pricey DALLAS (AP) — Need that one-of-a-kind stocking stuffer and have $1.9 million burning a hole in your pocket? Design your own diamond ring and travel to Africa to see where the stone came from. Love the outdoors but think you’d love it even more while watching the Outdoor Channel? How about an outdoor entertainment system replete with a 201-inch television that rises out of the ground? It can be yours for $1.5 million (plus shipping and handling). These are among the unique offerings for sale in the 87th edition of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, which was unveiled Tuesday in Dallas, where the retailer is based. Almost 40 percent of the more than 500 items for sale in the book cost less than $250 (cheapest: $12 mug), but it’s the “fantasy gifts” that get everyone’s attention, such as the airplanes and camels the company has offered in the past. Eight such items are for sale this year.

“The world has become so much smaller than it used to be that the challenge of finding things that are new and interesting becomes harder and harder every year,” Neiman Marcus spokeswoman Ginger Reeder said. At $1.85 million, the “diamond experience” is this year’s most expensive fantasy gift. For that sum, the buyer gets a 25-carat rough diamond from which to make a personalized ring with the help of jewelry designer Maria Canale. The package includes a trip to De Beers’ headquarters in London and to Africa to trace the stone’s origins. For the falconry enthusiast in your life, consider a $150,000package that includes everything he or she would need for a leisurely afternoon hunting with hawks. Also included are a gold-plated perch, custommade bird hoods and a handmade backgammon board (for downtime).

Soldier’s bail set in stabbing death TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A $2 million bail was set Tuesday for a soldier accused of fatally stabbing a fellow serviceman near a large Army base in Washington state. Prosecutors charged Jeremiah Hill, 23, with first-degree murder, saying he approached 20-yearold Spc. Tevin Geike and attacked him just as a verbal confrontation between two groups was calming down. Authorities also charged Cedarium Johnson, 21, and Ajoni Runnion-Bar-

eford, 21, with rendering criminal assistance, saying they helped dispose of the murder weapon. Bail for Runnion-Bareford was set at $250,000. Johnson was released, ordered to be contained at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. All three men pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors said in charging documents Tuesday that an autopsy determined that Geike suffered a deep stab wound to his chest that cut through a rib and plunged through his heart.

fighter jets twice hit opposition-held areas near the city Tuesday and the clashes caused casualties, though it gave no specifics. At least 10 government soldiers and one rebel fighter were killed on Monday, it said. The fight for the base is part of the ongoing, broader struggle for control of northern Syria, where the opposition controls large swathes of territory captured from Assad’s troops. Most of the northern countryside is in the hands of anti-Assad fighters, while the government is holding out in isolated military bases and inside major cities. During the latest rebel assault Tuesday, one young rebel could be heard shouting above the mortar fire: “We are ready to move on our military operation, in order to remove the enemy check points and the army presence in Wadi Deif.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The state of Indiana and 15 of its public school districts filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Internal Revenue Service over rules it imposed to implement the federal health care overhaul. In the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis, the state and districts contend the federal health care law does not allow financial penalties in states that didn’t create their own online marketplaces where people can buy insurance. Such states instead ceded that task to the federal government. The lawsuit also contends that the IRS can’t impose the “employer mandate” requirements of the law on state and local governments. Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in a statement that a key issue is whether the federal government, through the IRS, can treat the state and its political entities “as taxable entities like private businesses.” The plaintiffs contend IRS can’t do that and that the agency’s rules violate both the Constitution’s 10th Amendment and the federal Administrative Procedure Act. The suit says the IRS rules will force state and local governments, including school districts, to reduce some part-time employees’ hours to avoid tax penalties. “It’s very unfortunate that by unconstitutionally interfering with our state personnel policy, the IRS has caused hardship not only to the State but to a number of our state employees who will see their hours reduced through no fault of their own,” Zoeller said in a statement.

The state’s suit also contends that when Indiana elected not to create its own state-run health care exchange and instead allowed the federal government to design a system where Hoosiers could buy coverage, the expected result was that those individuals would not get government subsidies. Those Hoosiers’ employers, in turn, should not have to face tax penalties for not providing “minimum essential coverage” to all of their employees working 30 or more hours per week, it states. But the IRS rule means that people buying health coverage on the federal health exchange are “are entitled to the same subsidies as citizens who purchase from a State Exchange.” Randy Taylor, assistant superintendent of the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville, said the IRS is “overstepping” the boundaries Congress created in the health care overhaul and that the agency’s rules will harm the district, which is one of the plaintiffs in the suit. “The costly and burdensome employer mandate the IRS wrongly applies to government employers such as our school corporation interferes with our ability to efficiently manage our workforce,” he said in a statement. A message was left Tuesday seeking comment from the IRS’ media relations office in Washington, but that office’s voicemail carried a message saying the office would be closed until the partial federal government shutdown ends.

Pregnancy is tearing this family apart DEAR ABBY: My daughter-in-law had an affair with a co-worker and is now pregnant by him. She swears she loves my son and won’t leave him, but insists that her lover be a part of the baby’s life. My son is torn. They have two small children and he doesn’t want to break up the family. How can he continue to trust her? My husband refuses to have her in our house. She can be vindictive to those she feels have “wronged” her, and I’m afraid she’ll keep us from the grandchildren. My son used to go to church before she came along, but they no longer go. We sought legal advice for him and he knows the score in that regard. Abby, how can we make him see this woman is no good for him? — HEAVY-HEARTED MOTHER IN GEORGIA DEAR MOTHER: If I were you, I’d stop trying.

DEAR DOCTOR K: What are “superfoods”? Which ones do you recommend? DEAR READER: “Superfood” isn’t a technical term; it’s shorthand for foods that can improve your health and prevent disease. I don’t much like the term, since it implies that some foods have magical powers that will keep you healthy regardless of what else you eat or do. But there are foods that do appear to confer more health benefits than others. Together with Dr. Michelle Hauser, nutrition educator and clinical fellow at Harvard Medical School, I’ve compiled a list of 12 “superfoods.” Try to incorporate them into your diet: (1) Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids. These fats help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Try to eat salmon or another fatty fish twice a week. (2) Blueberries contain powerful antioxidants, which

Your son has made his choice, which is to keep his family together. If that means accepting that his wife will maintain a relationship with her lover and, in essence, her baby will have “two daddies,” DEAR that’s the it’s ABBY way going to be. While I understand Jeanne Phillips your husband’s anger, as long as your son is willing to tolerate the situation, there is nothing to be gained by banning your daughter-in-law from the premises. Because you mentioned church, pray for the strength to support your son through

(8) Oatmeal is high in fiber and can help lower cholesterol levels. Choose steel-cut oatmeal, the least processed type. (9) Olive oil is high in healthy fats that reduce cholesterol, prevent blood from clotting too easily and may even control blood sugar. (10) All teas — black, white, green or oolong — are high in antioxidants. Drinking tea every day may help lower your risk of cancer, heart disease and dementia. (11) Quinoa (“keen-wa”) is a seed that’s used like a grain. It’s high in protein, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. It’s also gluten-free. (12) Dark chocolate helps control cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure. Choose chocolate containing at least 70 percent cocoa. DR.

Ford chief candidate to take over Microsoft BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Back when Microsoft was the biggest name in technology, CEO Bill Gates leveled an attack on the auto industry: If carmakers were as innovative as computer companies, he said, a car would cost just $27. That was 16 years ago. Today, PC sales are falling as consumers show a preference for mobile devices, and Microsoft is struggling. Meanwhile, U.S. car companies are resurgent. General Motors, the world’s No. 2 carmaker, is gaining ground on No. 1 Toyota. And Ford, after 16 quarters in the black, expects to see $8 billion-plus in profit this year. It’s a testament to the changing times that Microsoft is reportedly considering Ford Motor Co. chief Alan Mulally as CEO Steve Ballmer’s replacement when he steps down in less than a year.

Mulally says he’s made no changes to his plan to stay at Ford through the end of 2014. But he hasn’t denied rumors that Microsoft Corp. is courting him. Ford’s board of directors will gather in Dearborn, Mich., starting Wednesday. One of the items on the agenda will be a discussion of Mulally’s future at the company. As an outsider, Mulally could correct problems that an insider might not even see, like Microsoft’s culture of interdivisional competitiveness or the fragmentation of its businesses. While its lucrative enterprise-computing services rival its bread-and-butter Windows business in revenue, Microsoft is losing billions chasing Google with its own Bing search engine. The company has also booked hundreds of millions in losses on its Surface tablet computer.

In contrast, Mulally helped Ford become the only Detroit automaker to survive the recession without a government bailout. He forced engineers to start building global cars like the Focus instead of wasting billions making individual cars for each region. He sold or shuttered brands such as Volvo, Jaguar and Mercury, and plowed cash into cars with edgier designs — such as the Fusion sedan — even in the midst of the downturn. He told feuding executives to embrace the new plan — or leave. Most stayed and learned to appreciate Mulally’s weekly meetings and focus on cooperation and transparency. James Schrager, a professor at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, says Mulally was a “genius” at

“working person-to-person on the management side.” The CEO helped Ford figure out “who we really are as a company, where we’re going to spend all our time and money and what we really have to achieve to be special to our customers.” When Ford hired Mulally in 2006, the company was drifting. Its flagship money-makers —trucks and SUVs — were suffering as consumers sought more fuel-efficient cars to combat rising gas prices. Similarly, Microsoft’s still-dominant Windows operating system faces serious headwinds as consumers switch to tablets, a trend that threatens to scuttle its core business providing operating system software for PCs. “Once something works, it’s hard to change your behavior,” says analyst Roger Kay, president of Endpoint Technologies

Ford Motor Company CEO and president Alan Mulally, right, listens to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer during Mulally’s keynote address at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas recently. Mulally said Tuesday he’s made no changes to his plan to stay at Ford through the end of 2014. But he hasn’t denied rumors that Microsoft Corp. is courting him.
