GOOD MORNING Bill Joel, others honored at Kennedy Center WASHINGTON (AP) — The “Piano Man” who became one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time with such hits as “Just the Way You Are,” ”Uptown Girl” and “Allentown” was awarded the nation’s highest honor Sunday for influencing American culture through the arts. Billy Joel joins Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock, opera star Martina Arroyo and actress Shirley MacLaine in receiving the Kennedy Center Honors. All of them have been playing music, dancing or singing since they were children — and they have never stopped. Joel said the honor stands apart from his six Grammys. “This is different. It’s our nation’s capital,” he told The Associated Press. “This is coming more from my country than just people who come to see me. It’s a little overwhelming.” President Barack Obama saluted the honorees Sunday night, and top entertainers will offer tribute performances for each honoree. The show will be broadcast Dec. 29. “The diverse group of extraordinary individuals we honor today haven’t just proven themselves to be the best of the best,” Obama said. “Despite all their success, all their fame, they’ve remained true to themselves — and inspired the rest of us to do the same.” Santana, 66, a Mexican immigrant who began learning English from American television, is one of only a few Latinos who have received the honor so far. Santana first picked up the guitar after hearing blues and rock ‘n’ roll on the radio. He has said his career is about bridging cultures and fusing sounds to create something new. He grew up with the Woodstock generation after moving to San Francisco, but is perhaps best known for his album “Supernatural.” It won nine Grammys. Kerry said Santana brought the beauty of Latin culture and its rhythms and influences to the American mainstream. “We love the music you made, not because it’s Latin, but frankly because it is so very American,” Kerry said.

Man charged with rape ANGOLA — A rural Angola man faces six felony charges, including rape, after an incident early Sunday, the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department said Deputies were called to Cameron Hospital in Angola at about 5 a.m. about a sexual assault investigation. The victim, a 26-year-old female, was taken to the Fort Wayne Sexual Assault Treatment Center after first being treated at Cameron. The Steuben County Sheriff’s
Office Detective Bureau initiated an investigation. As a result of the investigation, Kile Stockert, 27, of rural Angola was booked into the Steuben County Stockert Jail on preliminary charges. Those charges included, according to police: • rape, a Class B felony; • three counts of criminal

deviate conduct, all Class B felonies; • strangulation, a Class D felony; and • criminal confinement, a Class D felony. Stockert was being held without bond. The Sheriff’s Department also was assisted by the Steuben County Prosecutor’s Office and Steuben County Communications. Further details on the arrest and investigation were not available late Sunday night.
Leader sees rapid growth in LaGrange County 4-H club
BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com
LAGRANGE — Bo, a yellow Labrador retriever, climbs out from the cab of Sharrita Lawson-Carpenter’s truck at the LaGrange County 4-H Fairgrounds. He immediately starts nosing around a nearby utility pole, acting like any dog. Lawson-Carpenter, of Wolcottville, smiles as she watches her 80-pound family pet move around. But Bo is here to work, and Lawson-Carpenter quickly shifts from owner to handler. She puts the dog through his paces; Bo walks at her side and sits when Lawson-Carpenter stops. Bo is glued to every word Lawson-Carpenter says, and quick to respond. Lawson-Carpenter is more than just a dog trainer. She is the leader of the LaGrange County 4-H Dog Club, one of the fastest-growing organizations within LaGrange County 4-H. For five years, Lawson-Carpenter, whose first taste of dog training came as a member of Noble County 4-H, has been transforming the dog club. She doesn’t just train dogs; she teaches children. Both, she said, are about consistency and patience. “One of the neatest things I get to see is that first time a child comes in with a dog, and the child is kind of lost for those first couple of meetings, and the dog isn’t doing anything right,” she explains. “The kid is frustrated. But then, maybe the third or fourth meeting, something clicks and the dog starts doing something right. The child’s face lights up, and they turn around and look at me and say, ‘Did you see that?’ That’s the part that I feed on. That’s the part that I love.” The first goal of her dog club is to make sure each member’s dog learns to be social. It must remain calm around other dogs and people. Once that is accomplished, both 4-H club member and dog can move on to obedience training.

Storm hits hard
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A powerful storm that crept across the country dumped a mix of snow, freezing rain and sleet on the Mid-Atlantic region and headed northeast Sunday, turning NFL playing fields in Pennsylvania into winter wonderlands, threatening as much as a foot of snow in Delaware and New Jersey and raising concerns about a messy morning commute. The storm forced the cancellation of thousands of flights across the U.S. and slowed traffic on roads, leading to a number of accidents, including a fatal crash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Morgantown that led to a series of fender-benders involving 50 cars. What was forecast in the Philadelphia area to be a tame storm system with about an inch of snow followed by rain mushroomed into a full-blown snowstorm that snarled traffic along Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania from the Delaware to New Jersey state lines. Paul Jones, 24, a youth hockey coach from Warminster in the Philadelphia suburbs, was on his way to a game in Lancaster when he got stuck — along with his fiancee, another coach and three players — in a major backup on the turnpike. The roadway was “snow-covered, slick,” Jones said in an interview from the car, where he was a passenger and had been at a standstill for more than an hour. “People are in and out” of their vehicles, he said. “Kids are having a snowball fight on the side of the road, making snow angels, people are walking their dogs.” The National Weather Service said the low pressure system from North Carolina north to New England was being fed by disturbances from the southwest and moist air off the Atlantic. The forecast called for the wintry mix to continue through Sunday, turning to rain early Monday. Total snow accumulation in some sections of southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and southern New Jersey could reach 9 to 11 inches, while other areas could see as little as an inch or 2, said Valerie Meola, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, N.J. The snow fell so heavily in SEE STORM, PAGE A6
Presidents, royalty expected for Mandela memorial JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The memorial service for former South African President Nelson Mandela on Tuesday is poised to be one of the largest such gatherings in generations with tens of thousands of local mourners and dozens of foreign leaders expected. South African officials say the normal seating capacity of Johannesburg’s FNB stadium probably won’t suffice to accommodate all mourners. Security for the event is likely to be tight as the list of presidents, heads of government, royalty and celebrities keeps growing by the hour. The South African government said Sunday a total of 53 heads of state, government and ministers have confirmed they will be attending the service. U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as well as former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter will attend. Meanwhile, reports are coming out of Johannesburg about the revered leader’s last hours. Mandela wasn’t on life support and had many family members and doctors close by in his final hours, a family friend who was at his bedside said Sunday. Bantu Holomisa told The
Associated Press that he had been called to Mandela’s home on Thursday by the family so he could visit the anti-apartheid icon before he died. “You judge the mood in the house. I know the family. It was not the same family I used to see. Even the call itself, ‘please pop in, we think Madiba is in his last days’,” Holomisa said. “I assume the family was warned by the doctors.” The end came soon. The former president died about two hours after the departure of Holomisa, who was a former deputy minister in Mandela’s Cabinet. Neither the Mandela family nor the South African government has released details on the final hours of Mandela or given a cause of death. The account by Holomisa, who says he has known Mandela since he stepped out of prison in 1990, sheds some light on Mandela’s condition as his life ebbed away and on the mood and scene inside the Mandela home at that time. Holomisa said Mandela’s wife Graca and his former wife Winnie, one of Mandela’s daughters and several of his grand-children were in the house Thursday, where “somberness” prevailed. Mandela appeared to be sleeping

calmly but Holomisa said that it was obvious that he was finally succumbing to illness. “I’ve seen people who are on their last hours and I could sense that he is now giving up,” said Holomisa, who is the leader of the United Democratic Movement in parliament. “You could see it is not Madiba
anymore,” Holomisa added, using Mandela’s clan name. Mandela, 95, had been in intensive care at his home in Johannesburg’s Houghton neighborhood since he was discharged on Sept. 1 from a hospital where he had spent nearly three months for a recurring lung infection.

No apparent end Beautiful cranes of Jasper-Pulaski to Pence, Ritz political squabble INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Welcome to Indiana’s own “Cold War,� a tit-for-tat fight over education more akin to something out of Dr. Seuss’ “The Butter Battle Book� than high-brow statesmanship. Democratic Schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz surprised watchers last week when she released an internal memo, drafted by Republican Gov. Mike Pence’s education aides, that pondered ways to curb her control of the State Board of Education. Ritz Pence’s staff said he dismissed the idea in a private meeting with her last month, but Ritz’s staff said their concern Pence is with Pence’s new education agency. Anywhere else in state government, that conflict might be somewhat shocking. But it’s become the norm for education as Democrats control the Department of Education and Republicans control the governor’s office. And both sides of the fight have contributed to the continuing escalation. Even before Ritz released the Pence team’s education memo last week, the education board held a terse

The nesting range of sandhill cranes is also broad but more northern. Once that range included the northern half of Indiana. Hunting and draining wetlands changed that. One nest was reported in the state in 1929, then none for nearly fifty years. Sandhill cranes have been making a comeback, however, and they now nest in Indiana once more. Even when they weren’t nesting in the state, sandhill cranes could be seen in Indiana in spring and fall. During migration hundreds

And on its head it has a plume of feathers extending over the back of its head. Crane and heron are especially easy to differentiate when flying. A crane flies with its neck straight out before it, a heron flies with its neck curved back in an S so its head appears to be resting on its shoulders.

of them halted their flight, north in spring, south in fall, rested and fed in the marshes and other wetlands that remained in northwest Indiana. Draining continued but one area has not been drained and will not be. It’s the Jasper-Pulaski (J-P) Fish and Wildlife of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources northwest of Winamac. There sandhill cranes gather, feed during the day in farm fields around J-P, as it’s called, then roost through the night standing in shallow water of a marsh at J-P. There visitors may see them, flying and on the ground during daylight, flying and landing in a large open field at J-P late in the afternoon. As dark settles the cranes take off, fly over a woodland and disappear behind the trees as they drop into the marsh. Sandhill cranes have been increasing, not just in Indiana but throughout their range. Nowhere is this more evident than in fall at J-P. There fifty years ago the peak concentration was a few hundred cranes. Toward the end of November my daughters, a son-in-law and I visited J-P and were told there were more than 10,000 cranes. Not only that, but the number was still increasing, the peak number for the fall had not yet been reached. NEIL CASE may be contacted at neilcase@ligtel.com

Preserving movie archive presents ‘reel’ challenge IU-Bloomington has one of nation’s most cherished collections of rare, famous films BLOOMINGTON (AP) — The beginning of David Bradley’s production of “Peer Gynt” finds his young star lying flat on his belly, head face down in a stream or a pond. Suddenly, his head pops up, the bangs of his hair whipping back. In a black-and-white, silent film from 1941, this bony lad doesn’t offer the stage presence of the man who will play Moses or Marc Antony one day. Yet there is something familiar about his face, part of this Norwegian fairy tale. Rachael Stoeltje, an Indiana University film archivist, zeroes in on his big lips and bulging cheekbones. More than 15 years before he parted a sea in “The Ten Commandments,” a 17-year-old Charlton Heston embodied a daydreaming Peer Gynt for Bradley, a B-movie producer who became a renowned film historian. IU just happens to own a rare piece of the actor’s history, because Bradley’s reels were acquired by the university after his death. The film has traveled to the Louvre in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, but it has a home in Bloomington, The HeraldTimes reported Sunday. Thousands of these time capsules sit at the Ruth Lilly Auxiliary Library Facility, piled on one another. They hold World
War II propaganda films, early episodes of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and the home movies of director John Ford, the man behind John Wayne. The contents in the canisters, however, are due for transformation. Film is dying — metaphorically — because it’s a platform rarely used by Hollywood today. It’s literally in decline, as well. IU has 2,200 reels stored at the library facility’s freezer, kept at negative-4 degrees to stop the film from breaking down into acetic acid in a process called “vinegar syndrome.” IU President Michael McRobbie announced in his State of the University speech this fall that the university’s audio and video holdings would be digitized in five years as part of a $15 million partnership with Memnon Archiving Services. But when Memnon begins digitizing in late spring, popping tapes in and out of recording decks, it won’t be able to process film reels. Capturing frames from a film is more time-intensive, because those machines aren’t designed to digitize multiple reels at once. The hours of a do-it-yourself approach could be costly for IU. Associate Vice President Laurie Antolovic, charged with overseeing IU’s media preservation effort, received
tion is shrinking. The frames from early films in color are fading. “We should do it, we should do it all, and we should do it now,” Stoeltje said. Digitizing film used to be so daunting that it was considered more cost-effective to build facilities like the auxiliary library facility at IU, storing thousands of reels in a warehouse at cooler temperatures to slow decay rather AP than converting the content.

Cuts made in nursing jobs INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Recent staffing cuts at hospitals in Indiana and around the country are forcing nurses and other health workers to shift the focus of their job searches and leaving them wondering about their futures. IU Health, St. Vincent Health and Franciscan Alliance have cut nearly 2,000 jobs this year, about a fourth of them in nursing. Nationally, the health-care industry has lost more than 41,000 jobs this year. The cuts are the product of declining admissions and falling revenue, and they’re making it more difficult for nurses to find hospital jobs
and for nursing students to get their first break, The Indianapolis Star reported. The new climate is a seismic change for many who got into nursing because for generations it had been a recession-proof career. “I knew going into school I was choosing a safe major, because all you heard is how badly hospitals needed nurses,” said Lily Bush of Irvine, Calif., a junior at Indiana University’s School of Nursing. The changes are forcing nurses to look outside hospitals for jobs, often at lower wages. Outpatient and walk-in clinics, rehabilita-
tion centers and patients’ homes are becoming popular employers. “Times are changing, and the venues are changing,” said Kim Harper, executive director of the Indiana Center for Nursing. Blayne Miley, director of policy and advocacy at the Indiana State Nursing Association, said the shift is creating new opportunities. “The changing landscape is basically creating the opportunity for a business model that wasn’t really there before,” he said. Marion Broome, dean of the IU School of Nursing, said the industry has seen similar shifts in the past.

librarians, Antolovic said, because the university might hold the only reel in existence for some shows or movies, but it may not own the rights to it. For example, “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” was produced by National Educational Television. IU does not actually hold the copyright to the content in its library. A station in New York does. If Stoeltje wants to provide a copy of a film to a researcher, she has to contact the rights holder first. At times, the copyright trail has been so confusing that Stoeltje has had to prove to stations that they own the rights to a film — and she needs their consent to distribute. Antolovic said she believes the price to convert film has fallen enough to make it a viable option, regardless of copyright issues. But the university has to test the market to see what private partners might have to offer. IU might also want to look at recouping its investment somehow, possibly charging outside researchers to access the films that are digitized. As with Memnon and audio and video, the university has ambitions to become nationally and internationally known for this kind of preservation, perhaps finding paid opportunities to digitize other universities’ collections, Antolovic said.

Pearl Harbor Fewer survive to recall WW II sneak attack PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — For the first time since the war, Alvis Taylor returned to Pearl Harbor and recalled the surprise Japanese air attack that plunged America into World War II. He was serving as an Army medic when the Dec. 7, 1941 attack began. His superiors, who were doctors, rushed to hospitals to care for the wounded. He went to Pearl Harbor, about 18 miles south of his Army post at Schofield Barracks, with dozens of ambulances. “I remember everything that happened that day,” the 90-year-old Davenport, Iowa, resident said. Taylor decided to return to Pearl Harbor for the first time since the war because the local chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America paid for him and his wife to make the trip. He was among about 50 survivors of the attack and some 2,500 others who gathered Saturday on the 72nd anniversary of the Japanese air raid. They honored those who were killed, those who fired back, those who rescued

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s ultra-liberal capital city is a place where just about anything goes, from street parties to naked bike rides. But city officials say a business is pushing even Madison’s boundaries by offering, of all things, hugs. For $60, customers at the Snuggle House can spend an hour hugging, cuddling and spooning with professional snugglers. Snugglers contend touching helps relieve stress. But Madison officials suspect the business is a front for prostitution and, if it’s not, fear snuggling could lead to sexual assault. Not buying the message that the business is all warm and fuzzy, police have talked openly about conducting a sting operation at the business, and city attorneys are drafting a new ordinance to regulate snuggling. “There’s no way that (sexual assault) will not happen,” assistant city attorney Jennifer Zilavy said. “No offense to men, but I don’t know any man

Pearl Harbor survivor Alvis Taylor waits for the start of the ceremony commemorating the 72nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor in Honolulu on Saturday.
the burned, and those who went on to serve during the war. Roughly 2,400 sailors, Marines and soldiers were killed at Pearl Harbor and other military installations on the island of Oahu in the attack. Of the tens of thousands of servicemen who survived, about 2,000 to 2,500 are still living. Delton Walling, who was assigned to the USS Pennsylvania at the time of the attack, said they’re “in the twilight years.” “I come back to be with my comrades — meet the ones who are still alive, and we’re going fast,” said Walling, who is 92 and lives near Sacramento, Calif. The crowd observed a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., the minute the bombing began 72 years ago. Attendees sat in a grassy spot overlooking the memorial to the USS
Arizona battleship that sank in the attack. A vintage World War II-era airplane — a 1944 North American SNJ-5B — flew overhead to break the silence. The Hawaii Air National Guard has used its fighter jets and helicopters to perform the flyover for many years, but federal budget cuts prevented it from participating this year. The Navy and National Park Service co-hosted the ceremony, which was open to the public. The current U.S. Pacific Fleet commander, Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., said the U.S. remembers Pearl Harbor and is vigilant. “The United States is and will remain a Pacific power. But we also remember the warning from those who survived Pearl Harbor, and we are increasing our vigilance accordingly,” Harris said.
Officials crack down on ‘hug house’
Online sales change holiday hiring WASHINGTON (AP) — As the U.S. job market improves, it’s also evolving, with winners and losers. Warehouses and trucking companies are doing more holiday hiring than the stores they’re working for. Factory workers are getting more overtime, while pay is nearly flat for hotel and restaurant employees. Retirement-age Americans are staying on the job. And for people who’ve been out of work for more

who wants to just snuggle.” Snuggle House owner Matthew Hurtado hasn’t responded to multiple requests for an interview. His attorney, Tim Casper, said in an interview last month the business is legitimate and Hurtado has put precautions in place to protect clients and employees from each other. “The concept is obviously a novel one and you can see where they (the city) might be a little skeptical,” he said. “Could something happen? Yeah, I suppose. But they’re taking every precaution.” In recent days, it’s become unclear whether or not the house is still in business. No one answered the door there Saturday. A posting on a Facebook page claiming to be the Snuggle House’s site said it had closed, but the page owner wouldn’t identify themselves — or confirm if it was the home’s official site. Neither Hurtado nor Casper have returned phone and email messages.
Madison’s concern seems to be deeper than in other cities where similar businesses have set up shop as cuddling has grown into a cottage industry over the past decade. Police in Rochester, N.Y., said they’ve had no complaints about The Snuggery, which offers overnight cuddle sessions. Be The Love You Are in Boulder, Colo., offers cuddles with “Snuggle Stars.” Cuddle Therapy in San Francisco offers packages that “focus directly with your current needs around connection, intimacy and touch,” according to its website. Police in San Francisco and Boulder didn’t respond to The AP’s inquires about those businesses. The nonprofit organization Cuddle Party has trained about 100 people across five continents to run group snuggle sessions, said Len Daley, a psychologist who serves as executive director at Cuddle Party headquarters in Montgomery, Ala.

Woman hears the music in her heart in loss of mother “Life is a dream walking; death is a going home.” — Chinese proverb BY BEVERLY STOWE MCCLURE
My mother lived in a nursing home for seven years after suffering a stroke following surgery. Paralyzed on one side, unable to walk, she was confined to a wheelchair. I stopped by to visit her every afternoon after I got off work. Whenever possible, I ate with her. Three days before Christmas, in 1988, she joined my father in Heaven. For the first time in 24 years they would celebrate Christmas together. What a joyous reunion they must have had. I wish I had been with Mom in her final hours — to hold her hand and tell her how much I loved her. To tell her she wasn’t alone. If I had been with her, though, I might have missed her beautiful goodbye message. On our final evening together, Mom said very little, where she usually chatted for hours about her grandkids, my sister and me. She was recovering from pneumonia and was so thin and frail I could feel the bones in her back when I hugged her. The nurse suggested I call my
sister and brother and mention Mom was growing weaker, in case they wanted to visit with her. After telling my family the situation, I hated the thought of leaving Mom alone and considered spending the night with her. But she had a roommate who I might disturb, so the nurse said not to worry, she would call if Mom needed me. I went home, planning to return early the next morning. Unable to sleep in my bed, I carried my pillow to the living room and curled up on the sofa. Finally, as early morning light filtered through the curtains at my windows, I closed my eyes. I’d rest a few minutes and then go see Mom. As I drifted between sleep and wakefulness, a strange sound startled me. I sat up. Was I dreaming? No, I heard it again: music. Not the TV. Not the radio. The
music reminded me of wind chimes in a gentle breeze. My eyes drawn to the music, I looked up. Floating above me was a tiny, fluffy white cloud. Happy, tinkling music wrapped around me, like protective arms. Like Mom’s arms. I sensed her presence in the cloud. Though no words were spoken, I knew. Leona (Lorena) Adele Chapter Young Stowe had gone home to her Heavenly Father. She was now free: no more pain, no wheelchair. She could walk again. She could play the piano the way she did as a child. The cloud hovered over me. As the music slowly faded, a soft voice whispered, “I love you, Beverly Jean.” Brilliant light sparkled from the cloud for a second then vanished. Two or three minutes later, the nursing home called. I knew before the nurse gave me the news. “Your mother went peacefully, a smile on her face,” the nurse told me. “She said she loved you.” “Yes, I know.” Mom’s physical body no longer is with me, but she left her music in my heart.

Last summer, LaGrange County sent 11 dog club members and their dogs to the state fair, the largest group ever. Three members scored in the top 10 percent of the state in both obedience and agility. That’s given Lawson-Carpenter a great sense of accomplishment. In addition, she was recently one of 12 people in the county to be nominated for the LaGrange County Community Foundation’s Heart of Gold award, an award created to honor volunteers in LaGrange County. “It was a thrill just to be noticed,� Lawson-Carpenter explained, almost tearing up.

Indiana religious, civic leaders praise Mandela INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Religious and civic leaders and Hoosiers of different races, faiths and ages praised Nelson Mandela on Sunday as a model of reconciliation, understanding and perseverance. A public memorial service for the former South African president and anti-apartheid icon drew about 200 people to the chambers of the Indiana House of Representatives for a 90-minute celebration in words and music of the

Since treats are not allowed in 4-H State Fair shows, she doesn’t teach treat training. Once barely on the map, the dog club now boasts nearly 40 kids, each of whom trains one or more dogs. Lawson-Carpenter said she hopes she can double that number in the near future. Often when children and their parents come to their first dog club meeting, not everyone is confident the family pet can make the grade. “I have parents bring a dog and tell me they’re not sure this is going to work out, not sure they can keep the dog because it’s not
The Rev. Joseph Tobin, the Catholic archbishop of Indianapolis, said Mandela “treated truth as a path to true and lasting reconciliation.� Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, senior rabbi emerita of Congregation Beth-El Zedeck in Indianapolis, said Mandela wanted to be judged not by his successes but how many times he fell and got back up again. “He taught us that failure is never an end, but simply part of the journey,� Sasso said.
Philadelphia on Sunday that yard markers at Lincoln Financial Field — where the Eagles beat the Detroit Lions — were completely obscured. It was almost as bad in Pittsburgh, where the snow intensified after opening kickoff. Philadelphia fan Dave Hamilton, of Ivyland, layered up for the game, wearing an Eagles shirt topped with an Eagles sweatshirt and Eagles winter coat. “Twenty-seven years I’ve been a season-ticket holder, I’ve never seen snow at the game like this,� he said. “It just kept coming down. But we are all having fun out there.� Philadelphia International Airport had a temporary ground stop
Sunday afternoon with snow totals around 4 to 6 inches. Spokeswoman Stacey Jackson said a number of passengers were expected to remain in the airport overnight since area hotels had been full for several days. She said staff would hand out pillows and blankets to travelers to make them “feel at home even though they are not.� Air passengers in the Washington-area experienced increasing delays as the season’s first real snowstorm set in. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said many flights had been delayed at Dulles International and Ronald Reagan Washington National airports. Virginia, parts of West Virginia and the metropol-
itan Washington, D.C., area braced for blackouts under steady freezing rain, wet snow and sleet. Parts of northwest and southwest Virginia and southern West Virginia were getting snow, while sleet and freezing rain prevailed west and north of Richmond. In Maryland, a chain-reaction accident on Interstate 81 in Washington County involving more than 20 vehicles delayed snow removal efforts for hours. The highway was closed for more than three hours after a tractor-trailer ran into the median to avoid cars that had spun out. It was hit by another tractor-trailer that overturned and spilled its load. Several other tractortrailers ran off the road and jackknifed as their drivers tried to avoid the crash.

Johnathan Loyd added 23 points, and Joseph Young had 19, including an important 3-pointer in overtime to push the Ducks (8-0) ahead 100-93 with 1:59 remaining. Six Oregon players scored in double figures during an entertaining game that stayed close throughout. The Ducks shot 38 of 65 (58.5 percent) percent from the field. Marshall Henderson had a career-high 39 points for Ole Miss (6-2). The 6-foot-2 guard made 11 of 27 shots from the field, including 10 of 23 from 3-point range.

As college football prepares for the final Bowl Championship Series, featuring a Florida State-Auburn championship game, it’s easy to see why the coming four-team playoff won’t solve all the postseason problems. Heck, we might just miss the BCS. Maybe? It sort of worked out this season. Top-ranked Florida State (13-0) was the only team to get through the regular season unbeaten, and the Seminoles did it in dominating fashion. Auburn (12-1) won the Southeastern Conference, and among the teams with imperfect
records the Tigers’ resume is best. The pairings become official Sunday night when the final BCS standings came out, but there’s no question about 1 and 2. It’ll be the ‘Noles and Tigers at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 6 for the national championship. In the other marquee bowls: — Alabama will play Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. — Clemson will play Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. — Michigan State will play Stanford in the Rose Bowl. — Baylor will play UCF in the Fiesta Bowl. Of course, Big 12 champion
Baylor (11-1) and Big Ten champion Michigan State (12-1) might argue with that top two. But over 16 seasons college football fans have built up what can be called BCS acceptance, learning to live with the fact that there is only room for two. Fans of particularly aggrieved teams (2000 Miami, 2004 Auburn, 2008 Texas, just to name a few) still burn over the slights. Generally, though, by the time the championship game kicked off, most everybody was on board. Now think about this season playing out under next season’s format. In the new world order known as the College Football Playoff, a selection committee
will pick four teams to play in two national semifinals. The winners play for the national title. So how would a panel that includes Tom Osborne, Archie Manning and Condoleezza Rice sort out this season’s top four? Florida State and Auburn, of course. And …. Baylor and Michigan State? But what about Pac-12 champion Stanford (11-2)? Sure the Cardinal have two losses, but as Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said Saturday at the end of a week in which he and the rest of the SEC practically begged voters to overlook the number in the loss column and focus on quality of opposition: “I have nine words.

Colts lose, still clinch AFC South crown CINCINNATI (AP) — The Colts thought they had BenJarvus Green-Ellis down near the goal line. Instead, the Bengals got a touchdown just before halftime when the call was overturned on review. The final bad moment in another bad Indianapolis start. Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes in the second half, but the Colts were never able to catch up to the Cincinnati Bengals, who kept a safe distance during a 42-28 victory on Sunday at wintery Paul Brown Stadium. “It wasn’t enough,” said Luck, who was 29 of 46 for 326 yards without an interception or a sack. “The Bengals beat our butts fair and square, and there’s no way to mince those words. The slow start hurt us.” Once the Colts (8-5) got behind, Andy Dalton wouldn’t let them catch up. Dalton regained his passing touch in time to keep the Bengals perfect at home and in control of the AFC North. He threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, making a 21-0 lead stand up. Despite the loss, the Colts clinched the AFC South when Tennessee lost at Denver. Indianapolis is in good shape to make the playoffs but has some major concerns. The Colts were drubbed 40-11 in Arizona two games ago and needed Adam Vinatieri’s five field goals to beat Tennessee 22-14 last week. “We’ve got some things to clean up, but we certainly came down here with the mindset that we wanted to win this football game and certainly win the division that way,” coach Chuck Pagano said. The Bengals (9-4) kept their firm grip on first place, two games ahead of Baltimore with three to play. It had been a while since Dalton was this good. He was the AFC’s offensive player for October, but hadn’t put together a consistent game since. He was as good as ever on Sunday, helping the Bengals improve to 6-0 at Paul Brown Stadium on a cold, windy day —

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (12) is pursued by Cincinnati Bengals outside
28 degrees at kickoff with a wind chill of 19. BenJarvus Green-Ellis had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs — one of them on a review that overturned a call — as the Bengals got ahead 21-0 and held on. The Bengals are having their best season at home since 1988, when they won all eight regularseason home games and two playoff games on the way to a second Super Bowl appearance and loss to San Francisco. They’re in position to clinch their first AFC North title since 2009 with two home games in the last three weeks. Dalton was sharp from the outset, completing 6 of 7 for 81 yards on the Bengals’ first drive, including a 29-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones. The Colts have been outscored 49-9 in the first quarters of their past six games. The Bengals got a pivotal

touchdown on a reversed call with 1:06 left in the first half. They went for it on fourth down from the Colts 1-yard line. Green-Ellis took the handoff and appeared to get tripped by nose tackle Josh Chapman, who dived into the backfield and swiped at his feet. “I hit his foot when he came through,” said Chapman, who started celebrating his play. Green-Ellis said he felt someone trip him. He stumbled ahead, avoided a couple of defenders, landed at the 1-yard line and slid into the end zone. He was initially ruled down, but the Bengals were awarded a touchdown after a review. The review focused only on whether a defender touched Green-Ellis as he fell near the goal line, not whether Chapman had tripped him in the backfield, referee Jeff Triplette said. “We looked at the goal line,
(those) were the shots that we looked at,” Triplette said. Trailing 21-0, Luck finally rallied the Colts. He completed a slant pass that Da’Rick Rogers took 69 yards for a touchdown and another short pass that LaVon Brazill turned into a 19-yard touchdown, slipping through the hands of six defenders. Dalton and the Bengals never let the Colts get closer than seven points. Notes: The Bengals moved 2012 Pro Bowl tackle Andrew Whitworth to left guard, and right guard Kevin Zeitler was out of the lineup for the third straight game because of injury. The Colts were missing guards Hugh Thornton and Jeff Linkenbach. … Colts RB Chris Rainey will get an MRI on an injured ankle. … The Bengals have scored 49, 41 and 42 points in their past three home games, the first time they’ve scored at least 40 in three straight at home.

Johnson upstages Tiger; Bjorn wins THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Zach Johnson put together the storybook finish at Sherwood on Sunday that for the longest time belonged to Tiger Woods. Johnson rallied from four shots behind with eight holes to play, holed out from a drop area for par on the last hole to force a playoff, and beat the No. 1 player in golf at the World Challenge when Woods missed a 5-foot par putt on the first extra hole. It was an extraordinary sendoff at Sherwood, which hosted the World Challenge for the 14th and final time before it moves to Florida next year. For Woods, it was only the fourth time in his career
that he lost a lead of at least two shots going into the final round, the second time at Sherwood. Graeme McDowell overcame a four-shot deficit in 2010 and beat Woods in a playoff. This was far more dramatic. They were tied after Johnson hit his tee shot to 4 feet for birdie on the 17th hole. Playing from the left rough, Woods came up just short and watched his approach tumble down the elevated green and into the bunker. Johnson followed with an 8-iron so weak that it came up well short and into the hazard. Johnson knew Woods had a difficult bunker shot, and if he figured if he could stick his wedge close from
58 yards away in the drop zone, a bogey might be enough to get into a playoff. The ball bounced three times and then spun back a few inches into the cup for an unlikely par and a 4-under 68. Woods’ hit a superb bunker shot to 2 feet and matched his par for a 70. They finished at 13-under 275. HONG KONG OPEN Miguel Angel Jimenez successfully defended his Hong Kong Open title Sunday to extend his record as the oldest winner in European Tour history. The Spaniard won at 49 years, 337 days to break the record he set last year at Hong Kong Golf Club, holing an 18-foot birdie on
the first hole of a playoff with Thailand’s Prom Meesawat and Wales’ Stuart Manley. NEDBANK GOLF CHALLENGE Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn had two back-nine eagles in a comeback victory in the Nedbank Golf Challenge The 42-year-old Bjorn closed with a 7-under 65 for a two-stroke victory over Wales’ Jamie Donaldson amd Spain’s Sergio Garcia. Bjorn finished at 20-under 268 at Gary Player Country Club. He earned $1.25 million for his 15th European Tour title. Donaldson, three strokes ahead entering the round, closed with a 70.

Philadelphia Eagle LeSean McCoy, center, breaks away from the line of scrimmage en route to his second
touchdown run during an NFL football game against the Detroit Lions Sunday in Philadelphia.
Eagles come back on Lions BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LeSean McCoy ran for a franchise-best 217 yards, including touchdowns of 57 and 40 yards, and the Philadelphia Eagles overcame two TD returns by Jeremy Ross to beat the Detroit Lions 34-20 in a blizzard Sunday. Ross returned a punt 58 yards for a score and ran a kickoff 98 yards. But McCoy sprinted 57 yards up the middle for a tying TD, and Nick Foles connected with Riley Cooper on the 2-point conversion. Foles sneaked in from the 1 and Chris Polk had a 38-yard touchdown run to cap a 28-point fourth quarter for the Eagles (8-5). Snow began falling two hours before kickoff and intensified after the game started. Workers used shovels and hand-held blowers to clear off yard lines. Conditions were so poor neither team tried a field goal, and there were 2-point conversion attempts after seven of the eight TDs. The Eagles, looking to go worst-to-first in the NFC East, won their fifth straight game and took over sole possession of first place. Dallas can make it a tie for the top spot with a victory at Chicago on Monday night. The Lions (7-6) have a half-game lead over the Bears in the NFC North. RAVENS 29, VIKINGS 26 Joe Flacco threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to rookie Marlon Brown with 4 seconds left to ice the win. Brown’s catch concluded a five-play, 80-yard drive that took only 41 seconds. It came after Matt Cassel threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to Cordarrelle Patterson with 45 seconds remaining. Just before that, Baltimore’s Jacoby Jones took a kickoff 77 yards for a score, which followed a 41-yard touchdown run by Toby Gerhart, who had replaced an injured Adrian Peterson (ankle) for Minnesota (3-9-1). The zaniness began when Flacco threw a 1-yard, fourth-down pass to Dennis Pitta with 2:05 go to for a 15-12 Ravens lead. Baltimore (7-6) has its first three-game winning streak of the season and the inside track for the second
NFL Roundup • AFC wild card. PATRIOTS 27, BROWNS 26 Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes in the final 61 seconds and New England recovered an onside kick to set up the comeback win. The Patriots (10-3) cut the deficit to 26-21 on Brady’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Julian Edelman with 1:01 left. Cleveland received a 15-yard penalty on the play, then Kyle Arrington recovered the onside kick at the Cleveland 40-yard line. Brady completed a 10-yard pass to Danny Amendola, then Leon McFadden was called for defensive pass interference in the end zone. That put the ball at the 1, where Brady connected with Amendola again. New England lost tight end Rob Gronkowski to a leg injury in the third quarter. CHIEFS 45, REDSKINS 10 The Chiefs scored on their first four possessions in the snow, sacked Robert Griffin III five times and Kirk Cousins once, and returned both a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown. The score was 17-0 after the first quarter and 38-10 at halftime. Quintin Demps immediately answered the lone Redskins touchdown with a 95-yard kickoff return that resembled at times a winter stroll, part of a stunning tally of 321 return yards by Kansas City in the first half alone. Jamaal Charles ran 19 times for 151 yards for Kansas City. DOLPHINS 34, STEELERS 28 Charles Clay caught two touchdown passes, including a 12-yard strike from Ryan Tannehill with 2:53 remaining. Daniel Thomas ran for 105 yards and a score. His zig-zag 55-yard burst at snowy Heinz Field set up Clay’s winner. Tannehill completed 20 of 33 passes for 201 yards and three scores for the Dolphins (7-6). Miami won for the third time in its last four games.
Ben Roethlisberger passed for 349 yards and three scores but the Steelers (5-8) lost their second straight game. Antonio Brown raced into the end zone after a series of laterals on the final play, but officials ruled he stepped out of bounds before scoring. PACKERS 22, FALCONS 21 Matt Flynn threw for 258 yards and the Packers’ struggling defense forced a key fourth-quarter turnover to snap a five-game winless string. Mike Neal’s sack forced Matt Ryan to fumble. Defensive lineman Johnny Jolly scooped up the loose ball and celebrated with a little belly dance at chilly Lambeau Field. Four plays later, Flynn found Andrew Quarless for a 2-yard go-ahead score with about 12 minutes left for the Packers (6-6-1). The score completed a comeback from an 11-point halftime deficit and whipped the fans swathed in parkas and knit caps into a frigid frenzy. It was 9 degrees when the game started, with a wind chill of minus-1. JETS 37, RAIDERS 27 Geno Smith threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score as the Jets set a season high for points and stopped a three-game skid. Chris Ivory had a touchdown run, Nick Folk kicked three field goals and Antonio Allen blocked a punt and returned it for a score to help the Jets (6-7) in the AFC playoff hunt. Smith ended a miserable stretch that included getting benched last week by throwing his first touchdown toss since Week 7. BUCCANEERS 27, BILLS 6 Mike Glennon threw two touchdown passes and Bobby Rainey scored on an 80-yard run on the second play of the day. The Bucs (4-9) intercepted EJ Manuel four times en route to their fourth win in five games following an 0-8 start. Manuel, Buffalo’s first-round draft pick out of Florida State, was sacked seven times and doubled his interception total for the season. The Bills (4-9) have lost five of six.

The Locomotives were led by a terrific performance from Avery Morrison, who had a double-double with 17 points and 15 rebounds. The eighth-grade team won in exciting form, 43-42. On a good pass from Cole Kelham, Micah Malcolm hit a 3-pointer with nine seconds remaining and a good team defensive effort preserved the win. Leading the Locomotives were Malcolm with 15 points, Carter Back with 12 points and six rebounds and Hayden Greene with eight points and six rebounds.

Up next for the Heat is a game at Indiana on Tuesday. The Pacers have the NBA’s best record — and this will be the first meeting between the teams since Miami’s seven-game victory in last season’s playoffs. “They’re a great team right now, the way they’re playing,” James said. “We’re trying to get healthy, we’re trying to get to our full potential. We’ll see what we can do.” First, the Heat had a score to settle against a Detroit team that won 107-97 at Miami on Tuesday. Ray Allen scored 18 points for the Heat, who were without Dwyane Wade on Sunday but still shot 56 percent from the field and 11 of 28 from 3-point range. Miami took an early 16-5 lead, and although the Pistons fought back, the Heat went on a 13-2 run in the third quarter to make it 74-57.
“They got us pretty good — they beat up on us in Miami,” James said. “To return the favor, we wanted to play much better against them this time.” Miami looked motivated from the start. Allen’s 3-pointer made it 12-2, and although the Pistons steadied themselves momentarily, they could never tie it. Miami led 59-53 at halftime, and Mario Chalmers and Allen each made 3-pointers during the crucial run at the beginning of the third quarter. The Heat led 91-70 after three. “We knew that their focus was going to be higher, and you could see that at the beginning of the game and again in the third quarter. They were really able to push the ball off our missed shots and get some easy baskets,” Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks said. “We knew what was coming after we beat them up there, but knowing
they are going to be coming hard is one thing. Stopping them is something else.” CELTICS 114, KNICKS 73 Another sizzling start for the Celtics, only this time they kept pouring it on. By the time they were finished, they had battered the New York Knicks in the most lopsided NBA game this season. Jordan Crawford made six 3-pointers and scored 23 points, and Boston won its third straight with a 114-73 victory on Sunday. Jared Sullinger added 21 for the Celtics, who jumped to leads of 12-0, 18-1 and 25-3 and improved their Atlantic Division-leading record to 10-12. “It was just fun to get a win like that in here because I’ve been on the other side of it a couple times. It’s good to get a win against the division,” Crawford said.
AUBURN: Tigers did not win SEC game last year FROM PAGE B1
Strength of schedule. Strength of schedule. Strength of schedule.” Among this season’s best teams, Stanford played the toughest schedule. And what about Alabama (11-1)? The two-time defending national champions only lost once in stunning fashion to Auburn. “We’re not a natural playoff sport,” said Duke coach David Cutcliffe, who was the offensive coordinator at Tennessee when it won the first BCS championship game against Florida State in the 1999 Fiesta Bowl. “I think we can make this work with four. “And the reason I think we’ll make this work is I think what we’re all going to find out is the arguments are going to get bigger. We’re going to go from a few schools being angry to a lot of schools being angry, and
maybe that’s going to be a good thing. I just want to be in the argument.” Florida State showed Cutcliffe how far away Duke is from being in the argument in a 45-7 victory Saturday night in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game. The Seminoles’ season has been defined by blowouts. Their average margin of victory is 42 points, and they could become just the third team in major college history to win all of its games by at least 14. The only drama this season in Tallahassee, Fla., came off the field, when quarterback Jameis Winston was investigated for sexual assault. The state attorney said there was not enough evidence to charge the redshirt freshman with a crime two days before the Seminoles beat Duke. Winston is the runaway favorite to win the Heisman
Trophy next Saturday. He would be the ninth Heisman winner to play in the BCS title game. Auburn completed its worst-to-first run with a 59-42 victory in the Southeastern Conference championship game against Missouri. The Tigers didn’t win a conference game last season. Under first-year coach Gus Malzahn, they have become an offensive juggernaut, leading the nation in rushing at 335 yards per game. Running back Tre Mason ran for 304 yards and three TDs against Mizzou to make a late Heisman push of his own. The Tigers have had some good fortune — four games decided in the last 80 seconds, including improbable plays to beat Georgia and Alabama. But it usually takes a few breaks to get this far.

U.S. dominates sliding BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For one weekend, Germany was not the dominant sliding nation in the world. Neither was Canada, Italy, Russia nor any other country with a penchant for getting down ice-covered mountainside chutes with blazing speed. No, this weekend, the United States stood alone. And with the Sochi Olympics now just two months away, there might be no better time for the Americans to start flexing some muscle. Winning 10 of the 18 medals awarded at the World Cup bobsled and skeleton stop in Park City, Utah, along with grabbing another medal at the luge World Cup in Whistler, British Columbia, would figure to give the Americans plenty of momentum heading into more races on home ice next weekend. The bobsled and skeleton teams will be racing in Lake Placid, while the luge team takes its turn at the 2002 Olympic track in Park City. “We have to keep our momentum going,” USA-1 bobsled pilot Steven Holcomb said. “At this point, it is real easy to get complacent. The second we ease up the rest of the field will jump up and stop us. It is only going to get harder and harder the rest of the season.” The final weekend tally was five gold medals, four silvers and two bronzes.
Spartans’ faithful fans celebrate in rowdy fashion EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Thousands of Michigan State students have celebrated the football team’s Big Ten title with large, rowdy bonfires. East Lansing police arrested multiple people Saturday night near River and Cedar streets, which is a traditional spot for MSU students to party after major sports victories. No. 10 MSU defeated No. 2 Ohio State 34-24 late Saturday, earning its first Rose Bowl appearance in a quarter-century. The Detroit News reported that students threw landscaping trees, a bicycle and kitchen fire extinguishers into a bonfire near the Cedar Village apartments. The Lansing State Journal said that fire was one of at least three large ones. Officers surrounded another large fire on River Street at about 2:30 a.m. and marched slowly down the street in order to get the crowd to disperse.
Bohl stepping down at subdivision power N. Dakota FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota State head football coach Craig Bohl says he’s taken the program as far as he can and it’s time for someone else to take over the helm of the two-time Football Championship Subdivision winners. Bohl is expected to be hired as the next coach at Wyoming. The school has scheduled a news conference at 5 p.m. EST Sunday “to make a major announcement.” Bohl appeared Sunday morning on his weekly coach’s show on KXJB-TV. He said he planned to travel to Laramie, Wyo., on Sunday and added “there is no perfect time” for a coaching change. It’s not clear whether Bohl will continue to coach NDSU in the FCS playoffs. The Bison defeated Furman 38-7 Saturday in a second-round game.

FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Flint is a potential home for a “Wilderness Golf” course. When Detroit-area residents Frank Dattilo and Paul Lubanski were looking for a place to record a match of their new sport, they headed north. The first game of the more physical variation of the traditional pursuit took place over the summer at the shuttered Mott Park Golf Course. The scoring system for “Wilderness Golf” is based on the amount of time taken to play, not the amount of strokes over or under par. It’s also designed to be played on rougher terrain. The round was shot for a documentary-style film aimed at introducing the sport. Filming also took place at Dearborn Country Club.

What Others Say •
Letter Policy •
IRS should keep mitts off ‘political activity’ It remains beyond dispute that there is much wrong with American campaign-finance law. So much of the so-called dark money. So little disclosure. Political campaign finances have entered a “black ops” stage in which tens of millions of dollars are being spent each year by faceless organizations. Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, we seem to know little about activist organizations and less about the people cutting the checks. The sum of such ignorance is a terrible weight on the integrity of American elections. How can we possibly know our candidates when we have little clue who is spending money to support them? We can think of just one thing worse than the current state of campaign-finance affairs, and that is having the Internal Revenue Service propose “fixes” to the system. The IRS has created new rules governing “political activity” as they apply to non-profit organizations designated with a 501 (c)(4) status. Among several changes, this “initial guidance” from the tax-collecting agency would forbid certain communications by the non-profits during an election cycle, especially those that identify a certain candidate. In addition, the IRS definitions governing “political activity” would include voter-registration drives, grants to political groups, events touting a certain candidate and distributing material on a candidate’s behalf. There are problems with this. Let’s move from the less obvious ones to the painfully clear ones. However well-intentioned, such rules tread dangerously close to inhibiting free speech, especially as that speech has been defined by the high court in Citizens United. The greater problem, however, is the widespread concern that such rule changes in fact are not well-intentioned but constitute yet another IRS attempt to throttle conservative non-profit groups. The investigations into the IRS’ years-long campaign of harassment of “tea party” non-profits are still ongoing. The entire trail of responsibility for the agency’s malicious behavior has not yet been uncovered — although we know now that it extends far beyond the handful of “front line” personnel in Cincinnati who initially were served up for sacrifice. Perhaps some time in the (likely distant) future, the IRS can claim some neutral ground from which to issue ground rules for non-profit groups conducting political activity. That time is not now. There are threats to the integrity of the American system of elections. And then there are threats. “Dark money” in our elections is a real threat. Even in a world in which ruthless activists use their opponents’ donor lists to harass contributors simply for the “crime” of participating in politics, disclosure is vital. Just as vital, however, is the expectation that the great machinery of the federal government should not be abused from within for partisan advantage. Between 2010 and the 2012 presidential election, a handful of liberal-oriented nonprofit groups were briefly inconvenienced by the IRS before being approved and sent along on their happy way. Meanwhile, hundreds of conservative groups were held up for months and years. Some still await IRS approval. Whatever one calls that, it is not the behavior of a politically neutral organization. Neither is it the behavior of an agency that, at this point, should be making rules governing “political activity” of any kind. Arizona Republic

Letters to The Editor • Indiana agriculture needs a farm bill now To the editor: Congress has an important opportunity to create jobs and grow the economy by passing a long-term, comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill. The Farm Bill impacts every American, every day by providing a wide range of programs that strengthen our nation. The Farm Bill is crucial to maintaining a strong agriculture sector and an abundant food supply that benefits all Americans. Over the past two years, producers have faced a multitude of disasters — from drought, to flooding, to blizzards. These events demonstrate how important the safety net is to keeping producers going strong. Under the 2008 Farm Bill, the Farm Service Agency was able to provide $153.9 million in disaster assistance in Indiana using Farm Bill programs. A new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill would provide a strong crop insurance program, reauthorize the now-expired disaster assistance programs, and provide retroactive assistance for livestock producers. By reforming the safety net to eliminate the direct payment program — which pays producers whether or not they are in need of assistance — the Food, Farm and Jobs Bill would also save billions of dollars in the next decade. It would enable USDA to continue our work with more than 500,000 producers and landowners to conserve the soil and water resources. In addition, it would allow USDA to continue export promotion efforts that have led to the best five-year period in agricultural trade in American history, and provide
FSA with the tools to extend additional farm credit in Indiana. The Farm Bill is also a job creation bill that would empower USDA to partner with rural communities to grow, expand and support new businesses. A new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill would help Main Street businesses grow and hire more employees, strengthen infrastructure in our small towns and provide new opportunities in bio-based product manufacturing and renewable energy. For example, in Indiana, USDA Rural Development has provided funding for 354 projects since 2009 to help farmers and rural businesses save energy through the Rural Energy for America Program. This and many other efforts could continue with a new Farm Bill. A new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill would make important investments in nutrition programs that provide critical assistance to vulnerable Americans, including children, seniors, people with disabilities who are unable to work, and returning veterans. It would undertake new strategies to improve agricultural research, and it would ensure a safe food supply. All of these efforts strengthen our nation. A new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill would continue the job growth we’ve seen in recent years and help grow the rural economy. This is a prime opportunity to give America’s farmers the certainty they need about the next five years of U.S. farm policy, while investing in the rural communities that stand at the heart of our values. The Farm Bill has stood as a model of bipartisan consensus for decades and it is high time that both Democrats and Republicans come to a compromise on this
new Farm Bill. It is our hope that Senate and House conferees will reach a consensus quickly and move a Farm Bill forward as soon as possible. Julia A. Wickard Phil Lehmkuhler Indiana Farm Service Agency Indiana Rural Development
Smaltz is taking a principled stand To the editor: I read the recent letters by Dr. David Powers and Barbara Rigg critical of our Rep. Ben Smaltz. He stands accused of not taking “stands on matters of principle.” I happen to see his actions differently. Rep. Smaltz represents a district. In that district there are many people with many different viewpoints on any subject matter. A representative from any district interested in representing all the people should almost never take a stand without first considering all of the people and the implications of any such stand. Rep. Smaltz is, in fact, taking a principled stand by not letting those that insist they want to own him by insisting he must think in their narrow slice of ideology and only stand with them. The wording of HJR6 may be only two sentences long, but it has huge consequences that should be thoroughly considered. Only a fool would believe Rep. Smaltz’s “principled stand” would only be about a simple two sentences. Thank you, Rep. Smaltz, for taking your stand to learn more and act for all the people. We vote, too. David Williams Garrett

• simply hang up? Then what? What alternative solutions are Republicans hiding behind their backs? Frank Macchiarola, former Republican staff director of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (and my patient guide through the ACA) proposes in an op-ed for CNBC, co-written with Republican former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, that the GOP lead with solutions rather than piling on criticism. The authors agree with Democrats’ goal to expand access to care, including to those with pre-existing conditions. But the cure, they suggest, is in targeted policy solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Given the president’s low favorability rating these days — with 52 percent of voters saying they don’t trust him and 60 percent disapproving of his handling of health care, according to last month’s Quinnipiac poll — Democrats are scurrying to shift attention from Republican opportunity to the hope formula that worked so well in the past. The same aspirational attitude could work for Republicans, too, if they can stop shaking their heads long enough. “No” gets you nothing but nothing — and gloating floats no boats.

Briefs • North Korea erases images of Kim’s uncle from movie SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Images of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s uncle have been removed from an official state TV documentary, a disappearing act that appears to lend credence to Seoul’s claim that Pyongyang’s second most powerful official may have been purged by his nephew. South Korea’s spy agency told lawmakers last week that it believes Jang Song Thaek was likely sacked after the executions last month of two close associates, allegedly over corruption. The National Intelligence Service hasn’t explained how it obtained the information, and skepticism followed the claim because of past intelligence failures in Seoul regarding the inner workings of the North’s secretive government.
Council members face recall over gun control EXETER, R.I. (AP) — The Rhode Island town of Exeter has become a battleground in the broader debate over gun laws as residents decide whether to recall four council members who wanted to tweak the way concealed gun permits are issued. Voters will decide Dec. 14 whether to oust the officials, who wanted the attorney general to oversee permits for the town. Right now the town clerk handles the permits. Gun rights supporters say the council members ignored concerns that the proposal would make it harder to obtain a permit. They collected hundreds of signatures to put the recall to voters. If the council members are recalled, they will be replaced with the losing candidates from the last election.
Madoff victims note fifth anniversary NEW YORK (AP) — Bernard Madoff’s former clients are still struggling to move on five years after his massive Ponzi scheme was exposed. World War II vet Morton Chalek says his last account statement with Madoff showed he had $2.3 million. He’s still fighting in court to get some of it back. On Dec. 11, 2008, Madoff told FBI agents that his multibillion-dollar investment advisory business was a fraud. He pleaded guilty and is serving a 150-year prison term in Butner, N.C.
Hollywood • ‘Frozen’ is hot at the box office NEW YORK (AP) — In its second weekend at the box office, the Disney animated tale “Frozen” finally cooled off “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” while the week’s lone new wide-release, “Out of the Furnace,” wasn’t Hans a match for either blockbuster. According to studio estimates Sunday, “Frozen,” featuring the animated Hans in the lead role, led the multiplexes with a haul of $31.6 million over the weekend, taking over the top spot from “Catching Fire.” Lionsgate’s “Hunger Games” sequel had topped the box office for the last two weeks, but slid to second with $27 million in its third week of release. Relativity Media’s steel-town drama “Out of the Furnace,” starring Christian Bale and Casey Affleck, posed no challenge for the bigger blockbuster holdovers. It opened with $5.3 million, good enough for third place. “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,” starring Idris Elba, earned an average of $19,400 per-theater.

Brokers caught in middle of Obamacare MIAMI (AP) — When insurance agent Kelly Fristoe recently spent 30 minutes helping a client pick a mid-level health plan and the federal marketplace website froze, he called the government’s hotline and tried to finish the application. But the operator refused to credit Fristoe as an agent on the application, meaning he wouldn’t get the commission or be listed as the follow-up contact if his client needed help again later. The Wichita Falls, Texas, insurance agent is one of many brokers around the country finding frustration as they try to help customers navigate the Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces while earning the commissions they’ve long built their businesses around. Some insurers and insurance agents are calling on President Barack Obama’s administration to allow them
to bypass healthcare.gov and enroll consumers directly amid growing complaints about problems with enrollment information generated from the website. The so-called ‘back-end’ problems could mean that consumers who think they’ve successfully signed up for a health plan, may find themselves unable to access their coverage come January. The problems include enrollment information that’s rendered practically useless by errors, duplication or garbles. Efforts to fix the issues are underway. Nearly 70,000 agents and brokers have been certified nationwide to sell health insurance on the federal exchange. Many say they could be the troubled health law’s best ambassadors with the potential to boost lackluster enrollment figures — only about 27,000 had enrolled via the federal website nation-

wide in the first month. But instead, many agents said they’re continually met by obstacles. Insurance industry executives also met with Obama last month and encouraged him to let them take a more active role
in enrolling consumers in the 36 states relying on the federal website. Brokers’ frustrations with the website are amplified by the pressure they face to add customers to offset reductions in their commissions under the law. Among the complaints, agents say the website isn’t always crediting brokers when they help enroll consumers — meaning they’re losing out on commissions. Once an application is started, consumers can’t go back in and add a broker’s name if they help midway through the process. Federal health officials said there are 975,000 customers who have started an application but not selected a plan. Agents say they’re also still waiting on the federal government to add a promised feature on the website that would easily connect consumers with local insurance brokers.
Like others stymied by website malfunctions, Ken Statz and other agents at his firm in Brecksville, Ohio, filled out paper applications and mailed them, but it was taking time to hear back from the federal government about whether clients are eligible for a subsidy. Then they tried to get creative, planning to fill out the applications with clients during the day and hire someone to input the information into healthcare. gov during off-hours after 11 p.m. But that didn’t work either because the site asks personal identification questions that only the user would know. “We don’t have a clear pathway to get them enrolled into the plan. (The federal government) hasn’t given us the ability to do that. They’re kind of missing the mark on this. They need to realize that we are the best pathway,” he said.
Massive protests continue in Ukraine capital KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of protesters poured into the streets of Ukraine’s capital on Sunday, toppling a statue of former Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin and blockading key government buildings in an escalating standoff with the president over the future of the country. The biggest demonstration in the former Soviet republic since Ukraine’s pro-democracy Orange Revolution in 2004 led the government to fire back. It announced an investigation of opposition leaders for an alleged attempt to seize power and warned the demonstrators they could face criminal charges. The West pressed for a peaceful settlement.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians flooded the center of Kiev, the capital, to demand President Viktor Yanukovych’s ouster after he ditched ties with the European Union in favor of Russia and sent police to break up an earlier protest in the nearly three-week standoff. “Ukraine is tired of Yanukovych. We need new rules. We need to completely change those in power,” said protester Kostyantyn Meselyuk, 42. Packing Independence Square as far as the eye could see, Ukrainians waving EU flags sang the national anthem and shouted “Resignation!” and “Down with the gang!” in a reference to Yanukovych’s regime.

Crises in Asia let Biden show U.S. resolve ASSOCIATED PRESS ANALYSIS
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — As Vice President Joe Biden left for Asia on a mission to reinforce America’s determination to be a major Pacific player, a regional crisis over disputed airspace threatened to drown out his message. In the end, it was quite the opposite. From one capital to the next, Biden found himself at the center of the dispute, playing referee for China and its neighbors. He also acted as emissary between Japan and South Korea in a separate feud between the U.S. allies. The intense diplomacy on issues far removed from Washington made clear the degree to which leaders in Asia still look to America to try to solve problems when it seems like no one else can. Biden tried repeatedly to head off the notion that the Obama administra-
tion’s push to “rebalance” its foreign policy toward a fast-growing Asia had petered out. “The United States never says anything it does not do,” Biden said in Seoul. Even if the White House has found it difficult to keep one foot Biden in Asia amid crises in the Mideast, there was little doubt that Asian powers see the U.S. playing a leading role, decades after wars in Japan, Vietnam and Korea brought tens of thousands of U.S. troops to the region. Each country wanted something specific from Biden. Japan and South Korea wanted the U.S. to stand firm against China’s unilateral declaration of an air defense zone over disputed
islands in the East China Sea. Japan, in particular, wanted assurances the U.S. wouldn’t acquiesce by advising U.S. commercial pilots to comply with the zone. China wanted the vice president to mimic specific phrasing about pursuing a “new model of major-country relations” that’s become an officially sanctioned mantra for Chinese officials. He did, often. South Korea wanted Biden to help choreograph an exchange of public gestures between Seoul and Tokyo to alleviate resentments over Japanese colonialism that have reached a fever pitch. As if to demonstrate how closely Asia is watching the U.S., North Korea released an elderly U.S. tourist detained since October — hours before Biden was set to visit the Demilitarized Zone. Security experts
Israeli leader predicts “cold peace” JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that any agreement to emerge from newly restarted talks with the Palestinians will likely initially result in a “cold peace,” and therefore Israel must insist on “iron-clad security arrange-

ments” to protect itself in case the accord collapses. Netanyahu’s cautious outlook in a video address to the Brookings Institution in Washington came a day after President Barack Obama gave an optimistic prognosis before the same audience, insisting a peace framework
could be attained in a matter of months. The Obama administration embarked on an ambitious nine-month process in July to try to resolve the Israeli and Palestinians’ decadeslong conflict. The sides only agreed to enter talks after heavy American pressure.
speculated the move probably was intended to deny Biden the chance to cast a spotlight on the U.S. list of indictments against the North. Biden just wanted everyone to cool it. He quietly urged Beijing to refrain from enforcing the airspace zone, hoping to give the government a way out, rather than insisting that it formally rescind the zone. He wanted Tokyo to drop its objections to a major trade deal. He wanted Seoul to avoid sudden movements and consult with its neighbors before expanding its own air defense zone to send a stern message to China. South Korea on Sunday said it was expanding its zone, which overlaps with China’s, and the State Department said it supported the step. It’s an open question whether Biden achieved the
desired results, and all the issues he raised will require significant follow-up with the leaders he saw in Asia. In more than one instance, Biden’s outreach seemed to brush up against the reality that some American diplomatic pursuits in Asia are working at cross purposes. Biden said the U.S. commitment to its allies is unwavering. But the U.S. is pursuing closer economic ties with China, whose growth and increasing assertiveness have the region on edge. Michael Green, a White House adviser on Asia in the George W. Bush administration, said by embracing Chinese diplomatic language about a new model of major-country relations, Biden sent an implicit message that America’s bonds with allies like Japan and South Korea are becoming less important.

Hubby’s video gaming leaves wife on sidelines DEAR ABBY: I was laid off from work, but my husband, “Keith,” works full-time in a factory. We live with his parents. By the time Keith gets home from work and gets cleaned up, it’s time to eat dinner. Immediately afterward, we always follow the same routine: We go in our bedroom and he goes on the computer to play video games, while I sit and watch TV and play on my phone. We love each other and rarely disagree about things, but this isn’t fun for me. I have told Keith I feel ignored and I’d love to do something WITH him. He says because our town is smallish, there’s not a lot to do that doesn’t cost money. Keith is into the video games, so much so that when we first met, he’d sit in his bedroom and play for hours on end. We’re planning a vacation in the next month or so, so it’s

This two-way communication explains why you stop eating when you’re full. It’s because nerve cells in your gut let your brain know that your stomach has expanded. It also explains why anxiety over this morning’s exam has ruined your appetite for breakfast. The stress activates your “fight or flight” response, which inhibits secretion of stomach juices and reduces blood flow to your gut, as more blood is diverted from the stomach and into your muscles. Emotions cause genuine chemical and physical responses in the body that can result in pain and discomfort. For example, stress can affect movement and contractions of the GI tract.

DEAR DOCTOR K: Whenever I’m stressed out my stomach clenches up in knots. Why does it do that? DEAR READER: A particularly sad experience is described as “gut-wrenching.” Hearing about a gruesome crime makes you “feel nauseated.” An upcoming presentation gives you “butterflies in your stomach.” We use these expressions because anger, anxiety, sadness, elation and other emotions can trigger symptoms in our gastrointestinal tract. The brain has a direct effect on the stomach. Even the thought of eating can release the stomach’s juices before food gets there. This connection goes both ways. A troubled gut can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut. Therefore, your distressed gut can be as much the cause as the product of anxiety, stress or depression.

that move food down your digestive system. Normally the muscles all work in a coordinated way, like oarsmen rowing a shell. When, instead, the muscles are not coordinated and start to fight each other, pain can result. Stress also makes all parts of the body more vulnerable to both inflammation and infection. Inflammation and infection in the gut produce pain, gas, bleeding, nausea, diarrhea and other symptoms. If ongoing stress is causing frequent GI problems for you, treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques and hypnosis might help. These treatments can help reduce anxiety and encourage healthy behaviors to help you cope with pain and discomfort. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.
