Guard unit returns from Afghanistan TRAFALGAR (AP) — Members of an Indiana National Guard unit marched behind Santa Claus as they arrived at a ceremony welcoming them home after a 10-month deployment to Afghanistan. About 110 soldiers from the 1438th Transportation Company based at Camp Atterbury were greeted with cheers Wednesday from hundreds of people who filled the gymnasium at Indian Creek High School in Trafalgar. Some 30 relatives of Sgt. Joanna Thompson were on hand, just as many of them were when she returned from a deployment to Iraq a few years ago. Debra Lindsay tells the Daily Journal it is a blessing to have her sister home in time for Christmas. Maj. Lisa Kopczynski says the soldiers provided security escorts for vehicles transporting food and other supplies to bases while in Afghanistan.

Santa and their turkey lunch. It was all part of the annual RISE Christmas luncheon.

Rotary, Elks members honor RISE clients, staff at luncheon BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — More than 100 RISE Inc. clients and staff members were treated to a turkey lunch, Christmas carols, dancing and chatting with Santa Claus on Thursday. It was all part of RISE’s annual Christmas luncheon presented by Angola Rotary and Angola Elks Lodge. More than 12 years ago, Don Rodgers had the idea to hold the luncheon for RISE. RISE serves developmentally disabled clients in Steuben and DeKalb counties. “I don’t do it. The Elks and Rotary do it,” said Denise Kreais, RISE executive director. “It’s their way of giving back. It’s amazing, the community support, and clients look forward to it every year.” Kreais said the lunch is a nice treat for RISE staff members as well because the Rotarians and Elks do all the work. Last year, RISE was able to take the leftovers home. Management served the food to clients as a Christmas Eve meal for those without family. Kreais said it’s simply all done because of the staff’s love of its clients. Chuck Sheets, a Rotarian and Elk, said some of the clients have been attending each year the luncheon has been held in their honor. He said the Rotary pays for and serves the food and the Elks do the cooking and provide the lodge. In between dishing up lunches, the Rotary and Elks broke into singing Christmas carols. Dr. Matt Stevens, Rotary president, said it’s all about spreading the Christmas spirit. “It’s a combined effort,” he said. “It’s to see the looks on their faces.” Clients laughed and were especially excited when Santa handed out candy canes. Tom Wilcoxson gave the meal a thumbs up. “We get to get out of work and the best part is eating,” he said. His friend, Doug Cooper, laughed and agreed. Karen Birchielld smiled big when she saw Santa approaching. “I like Santa. I want a new blue coat,” she said. Amy Harper, another client, said she really liked the stuffing. Santa greeted clients and said he gets more attention at this time of the year. He even said

Northeast Indiana’s first wintry blast of 2013 could be on its way, with the possibility of up to a half-foot of snow, the National Weather Service Northern Indiana is predicting.

Snow could develop Friday night, continuing through Saturday afternoon. “Current projections would indicate a potential for 4 to 6 inches of snow along and south of a Rochester to Toledo (Ohio) line. However small fluctuations in the track and intensity of this system could significantly alter potential snow accumulations,” the advisory said.

House OKs budget plan after speaker stings right WASHINGTON (AP) — Battle-fatigued and suddenly bipartisan, the House voted Thursday night to ease across-the-board federal spending cuts and prevent future government shutdowns, acting after Speaker John Boehner unleashed a stinging attack on tea party-aligned conservative groups campaigning for the measure’s defeat. The legislation, backed by the White House, cleared on a vote of 332-94, with lopsided majorities of Republicans and Democrats alike voting in favor. Final passage is expected next week in the Senate. The events in the House gave a light coating of bipartisan cooperation to the end of a bruising year of divided government — memorable for a partial government shutdown, flirtation with an unprecedented Treasury default and gridlock on immigration, gun control and other items on President Barack Obama’s second-term agenda. In the end, the debate in the House was SEE BUDGET, PAGE A10

A romp in the snow The first measurable snow that hit the area on Wednesday left about an inch of the white stuff, enough to get people thinking about the holidays and, for some, to get out and have some fun, including this

furry guy. Today there’s supposed to be snow coming to northeast Indiana that, by Saturday, could leave up to 6 inches of snow.

Regional Roundup • Former Komets exec, owner dies FORT WAYNE — Former Fort Wayne Komets executive, owner, general manager and coach Ken Ullyot passed away Thursday at age 92, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. Ullyot came to Fort Wayne to coach the Komets in 1958. He also served the team as general manager and owner at different times until he retired in 1986. Ullyot led the Komets to the 1963 IHL Turner Cup as a coach, the 1965 championship as general manager and the 1973 Turner Cup Title as an owner. In addition to the three IHL championships, the Komets made seven trips to the finals under Ullyot’s direction. In 1997 The Hockey News named Ullyot the IHL’s All-Time Greatest General Manager. In addition, the IHL honored its Western Conference Champion by presenting them with the Ken Ullyot Trophy.

Greater Fort Wayne Inc. opposes gay marriage ban FORT WAYNE — Greater Fort Wayne Inc.

on Thursday unveiled its legislative priorities for the coming year and announced its board of directors opposes a proposed state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. The proposed constitutional amendment, House Joint Resolution 6, is expected to go before the General Assembly during its 2014 session. The amendment would prohibit same-sex marriages and civil unions. “We need to be competitive on a national level and be recognized as a community that thrives on diversity, innovation and inclusion,” Mark Becker, CEO of Greater Fort Wayne, said in a statement. “Such legislation hinders our ability to grow and prosper, and could delay our vision of becoming a top metro center in the United States.”

Vera Bradley income, earnings decline FORT WAYNE — Handbag manufacturer Vera Bradley Inc. on Wednesday reported net income of $15.2 million for its fiscal third quarter, a decline of more than 14 percent from $17.7 million in the year-ago period. Earnings per share of

37 cents were down almost 16 percent from 44 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Net revenue was $130.1 million, a decrease of 6 percent from last year’s $138.3 million. While third-quarter results were in line with the company’s expectations, new CEO Robert Walstrom said in an earnings release the company is lowering its outlook for the fourth quarter.

Teen sentenced to 65 years for murder GOSHEN — An Elkhart teen who pleaded guilty to murder for his part in a fatal drive-by shooting was sentenced to 65 years in prison, according to news reports. The Elkhart Truth reports Jesus MacedoPerez, 17, pleaded guilty Nov. 14, and agreed to the maximum sentence for a murder charge. By accepting Macedo-Perez’s plea, the state removed a criminal gang enhancement. The enhancement could have doubled Macedo-Perez’s sentence if he was found guilty of murder and if the state proved he was participating in criminal gang activity.

INDIANAPOLIS — As ice begins to form on many waterways, Indiana Conservation Officers with the Department of Natural Resources are calling on citizens to put safety first. Conservation officers said every winter, thousands of Hoosiers enjoy fishing, skating, hiking or just sliding around on frozen ponds and lakes. However, every year, people drown after falling through ice. The officers issued these tips to remember before going onto a frozen lake or pond: • No ice is safe ice. • At least 4 inches of ice is recommended for safe ice fishing; and 5 inches is needed for snowmobiling. • If you don’t know, don’t go. • Wear lifejackets or flotation coats. • Carry ice hooks and rope gear. • Parents are strongly encouraged to closely supervise all children’s activities on frozen waterways. • When participating in any recreational activity on ice, partnering up is a must. This includes ice fishing. Depending on conditions, ice can change from several inches thick to nearly open water within just a few feet. Flowing water, such as rivers and streams, should be avoided when covered by a layer of ice. Water surrounded by sand often freezes with inconsistencies. Wind, waterfowl and beavers also can keep areas of ice thin. A fall into icy water can result in a quick onset of hypothermia for the victim, which can lead to catastrophic consequences if not treated immediately. “If you see a person fall through the ice, call 911 immediately with clear and concise instructions on the location of the victim,” a DNR news relase said. “Attempts to rescue a victim should begin only after calling 911. Going into the water after the victim should be the last option in a rescue effort.”

Gold Kugerrand dropped into kettle KOKOMO (AP) — Someone has again anonymously dropped a gold Krugerrand coin into a Salvation Army red kettle in a central

Indiana city. Salvation Army Capt. Dale Brandenburg says the South African coin was found in one of its Kokomo kettles last

week and it was sold it for $1,220. The Kokomo Tribune reports this marks the fifth straight year that a Krugerrand donation has been made in the city. Brandenburg says the coin sold for about $400 less than last year when the price of gold

was higher. He says the donation of the coin is a big boost since the group is about $50,000 short of its $82,500 fundraising goal for Kokomo. Brandenburg says it’s always exciting to find one of the gold coins inside a kettle.

ISU hopes for oil profits Expressway OK’d TERRE HAUTE (AP) — Indiana State University could see a financial boost if a company is successful in drilling for oil near the school’s campus. Crews are expected to start setting up equipment Saturday on university property near the downtown Terre Haute campus and then start drilling work next week. Past oil production in the area and an analysis of recent seismic surveys indicates an oil reservoir is present, Steve Miller, Pioneer Oil Co.’s chief financial officer, told the Tribune-Star.

“We’re very excited to get going,” he said. “We’ve spent considerable time and money getting prepared for this. We’re ready to find the results.” How much drilling the company does will depend on the findings from the first well. Drilling a well takes about 30 days, Miller said. Numerous other oil wells are in operation around Terre Haute, with many starting up following a large discovery in 2011 on property near the city belonging to the Hulman family that owns the

Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Indiana State has previously capped old wells around campus that might have been drilled in the 1920s or earlier. “We’ve been aware of the existence of oil, and changes in technology and drilling techniques have made it much more feasible than what it would have been several years ago,” said Diann McKee, the university’s vice president of business affairs and finance. Indiana State’s agreement with Pioneer provides that drilling equipment be located at a

Deaths & Funerals • Robert Friesner PLYMOUTH — Robert L. Friesner, 75, passed away at 2:04 p.m. on Wednesday, December 11, 2013, at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Mishawaka. Robert was born on July 16, 1938, in Middlepoint, Ohio, to Dwight and Datha (Fox) Friesner. He graduated from Van Del High School Mr. Friesner in 1956. While in high school he played both basketball and baseball. He then met and married his wife of 55 years, Barbara Joyce Rawlings. He attended Findlay College and after he received his degree, he began his teaching career which lasted 39 years. He and Barbara Joyce spent their teaching years at West Noble in Ligonier, then moved to Lawrence Lake in Plymouth after they retired. His years in the classroom teaching U.S. history gave him much joy, and he did a great job keeping students’ attention. However, those less attentive students were brought back to his history world with a flying eraser. He spent his afterschool hours coaching cross-country with the help of his wife for many years. He worked his runners hard and had high expectations. However, many fine young men came through his program, including a state cross-country champion and three state-qualifying teams. He also used his love of basketball to coach a team to a sectional championship. Robert also coached wrestling, track and taught driver’s education. He was also a member of the Lions Club and West Noble Classroom Teachers’ Association and served on the Ligonier Library Board. He is survived by his wife, Barbara Joyce, and three daughters: Sherry Hughes, Deb (Larry) Miller and Kate (Josh) Harris; four grandchildren: Ryan, Tyler, Kalee and Maddie; brothers, Gerald (Mary) Friesner, Harold (Carrol) Friesner and Tom (Sharon) Friesner; and sisters-in-laws, Ellen Friesner and Sandy Friesner; along with several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and a twin brother, Bill Friesner. The viewing will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, December 16, 2013, at Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan St., Plymouth. Funeral services will follow visitation at 7 p.m. in the funeral home. Burial will be in New

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea on Friday announced the execution of Kim Jong Un’s uncle, calling the leader’s former mentor a traitor and “worse than a dog.” The announcement came only days after Pyongyang announced through state media that Jang Song Thaek — long considered the country’s No. 2 power — had been Jang removed from all his posts because of allegations of corruption, drug use, gambling, womanizing and leading a “dissolute and depraved life.” Jang was seen as helping Kim Jong Un consolidate power after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il, two years ago. Jang was the latest and most significant in a series of personnel reshuffles that Kim has conducted in an apparent effort to bolster his power. Some analysts see the purge as a sign of Kim Jong Un’s growing confidence, but there has also been fear in Seoul that the removal of such an important part of the North’s government — seen by outsiders as the leading supporter of Chinese-style economic reforms — could create dangerous instability or lead to a miscalculation or attack on the South. Tensions are still high on the Korean Peninsula following a torrent of threats in March and April by Kim Jong Un’s government against Washington, Seoul and Tokyo, including vows of missile and nuclear strikes and warnings that Pyongyang would restart nuclear bomb fuel production. Jang was married to Kim Jong Un’s aunt, Kim Kyong Hui, the younger sister of Kim Jong Il. He was earlier described by state media as “abusing his power,” being “engrossed in irregularities and corruption,” and taking drugs and squandering money at casinos while undergoing medical treatment in a foreign country.

Yemeni officials claim drone hit wedding party SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Missiles fired by a U.S. drone slammed into a convoy of vehicles traveling to a wedding party in central Yemen on Thursday, killing at least 13 people, Yemeni security officials said. The officials said the attack took place in the city of Radda, the capital of Bayda province, and left charred bodies and burnt out cars on the road. The city, a stronghold of al-Qaida militants, witnessed deadly clashes early last year between armed tribesmen backed by the military and al-Qaida gunmen in an attempt to drive them out of the city. There were no immediate details on who was killed

in the strike, and there were conflicting reports about whether there were militants traveling with the wedding convoy. A military official said initial information indicated the drone mistook the wedding party for an al-Qaida convoy. He said tribesmen known to the villagers were among the dead. One of the three security officials, however, said al-Qaida militants were suspected to have been traveling with the wedding convoy. The CIA declined to comment on the reported drone strike. While the U.S. acknowledges its drone program in Yemen, it

does not usually talk about individual strikes. If further investigations determine that the victims were all civilians, the attack could fuel an outburst of anger against the United States and the government in Sanaa among a Yemeni public already opposed to the U.S. drone strikes. Civilian deaths have bred resentments on a local level, sometimes undermining U.S. efforts to turn the public against the militants. The backlash in Yemen is still not as large as in Pakistan, where there is heavy pressure on the government to force limits on strikes — but public calls for a halt to strikes are starting to emerge.

In October, two U.N. human rights investigators called for more transparency from the United States and other countries about their drone programs, saying their secrecy is the biggest obstacle to determining the civilian toll of such strikes. The missile attacks in Yemen are part of a joint U.S.-Yemeni campaign against al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which Washington has called the most dangerous branch of the global terrorist network. Thursday’s drone strike is the second since a massive car bombing and coordinated assault on Yemen’s military headquarters killed 56 people, including foreigners.

Gift Certiﬁcates & Gift Cards are available at these following locations.

Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was retaliation for U.S. drone strikes that have killed dozens of the group’s leaders. Security forces in the Yemeni capital boosted their presence Thursday, setting up checkpoints across the city and sealing off the road to the president’s residence, in response to what the Interior Ministry called threats of “terrorist plots” targeting vital institutions and government buildings. Meanwhile, in the Yemen’s restive northern, ultraconservative Sunni Muslim militants and rebels belonging to a branch of Shiite Islam battled each

other with artillery and machine guns in clashes that killed more than 40 people, security officials said. The violence between Islamic Salafi fighters and Hawthi rebels has raged for weeks in Yemen’s northern province of Saada, but the latest sectarian clashes marked an expansion of the fighting to the neighboring province of Hagga. The government brokered a cease-fire last month to try to end the violence, but both sides have repeatedly broken the truce. Officials said clashes began when ultraconservative Salafis took over a Hawthi stronghold in a mountainous area near the border with Saudi Arabia.

Heaping seven nominations on both the con-artist melodrama â€œAmerican Hustleâ€? and the grimly historical â€œ12 Years a Slave,â€? the Golden Globes nominations set up a showdown of contrasts: comedy and drama, light and dark, white and black. The two films were validated as Academy Awards front-runners in the Globes nominations announced Thursday in Beverly Hills, Calif., by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, refining what had been a scattered awards season in a year many consider encouragingly plentiful of worthy movies. The differences between the two top-nominees are vast. While David O. Russellâ€™s fictionalized caper â€œAmerican Hustleâ€? takes a playful, exaggerated approach to an already outlandish story (the FBIâ€™s scandal-uncovering Abscam investigation in the disco 1970s), Steve McQueenâ€™s â€œ12 Years a Slave,â€? based on Solomon Northupâ€™s 1853 memoir, is unflinching in its portrait of Southern slavery â€” a subject Hollywood has seldom depicted rigorously or truthfully. â€œI feel this film is pivotal and just good for the world,â€? said Lupita Nyongâ€™o, who was nominated for best supporting actress. The other nominations for â€œ12 Years a Slaveâ€? include best picture, drama; best actor for Chiwetel Ejiofor; best director for McQueen;

and best supporting actor for Michael Fassbender. â€œAmerican Hustle,â€? though equally dramatic as it is comedic, is for Russell a closely felt story of self-renewal. Reteaming much of the casts from his last two acclaimed films (â€œSilver Linings Playbookâ€? and â€œThe Fighterâ€?), the movieâ€™s warm reception completes a personal redemption for the director. â€œThere is not a molecule in my body that isnâ€™t humbly grateful,â€? said Russell. â€œFrom the second we made â€˜The Fighter,â€™ itâ€™s been a journey that began from a low point for me to a new period that I feel my life was leading up to.â€? â€œAmerican Hustleâ€? received nominations for best picture, comedy; Russell

for best director; Christian Bale for best actor, comedy; Amy Adams for best actress, comedy; and Jennifer Lawrence, last yearâ€™s Oscar darling, for best supporting actress. The distinction drawn by the Globes between drama and comedy-musical, wonâ€™t be there for Oscar voters, whoâ€™ll have to weigh the differences of â€œ12 Years a Slaveâ€? and â€œAmerican Hustleâ€? â€” that classic dichotomy of hard-towatch and easy-on-the-eyes â€” against each other. The field canâ€™t be said to have narrowed too much, though. The innovative, 3-D space odyssey â€œGravity,â€? which received four nominations Thursday including best dramatic film and best actress for Sandra Bullock, will surely be more of a heavyweight at the Academy Awards, which honor technical achievement categories that the Globes donâ€™t.

Barker celebrates 90th on â€˜Priceâ€™ NEW YORK (AP) â€” Bob Barkerâ€™s 90th birthday present is urging one more contestant to â€œcome on downâ€? from the audience on â€œThe Price Is Right.â€? The veteran game-show host, at the Barker helm of â€œThe Price Is Rightâ€? from 1972 to 2007, was invited back by current host Drew Carey on Thursday to celebrate the milestone birthday. He moved a little more slowly, and his microphone was a little thicker, but Barker fell right back into the groove. The audience gave him a standing ovation, and he joined with Carey in encouraging viewers to spay or neuter their pets â€” Barkerâ€™s longtime cause.

Work starts on Newtown-inspired ‘Child’s Requiem’ BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Composer Steven Sametz has written dozens of pieces in his long and prolific career, perhaps none so personal as the one he’s about to begin: a requiem for the victims of the schoolhouse massacre in Newtown, Conn. The Lehigh University music professor grew

up about 20 miles from Newtown, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012. “I know well what it was like to grow up in a small Connecticut town, and in what should have been, for all, a really beautiful time of life,” Sametz said in an

interview at Lehigh, a private school north of Philadelphia. “And it struck me that these children were cut from that, tragically.” Sametz recently won a $25,000 music prize from the University of Connecticut to compose a piece for chorus and orchestra, based on the idea that music can aid the healing process — and he’s

seeking ideas and input from children around the U.S. His working title: “A Child’s Requiem.” “This is just my way of putting something into the world that might be positive or helpful in the face of something that was horrifying,” he said. Musicians often respond to tragedy by working out

their emotions in song and helping provide catharsis to others. Music played a huge part in the one-year observance of the Sept. 11 attacks, for example, with choral groups around the world performing Mozart’s “Requiem” on the anniversary of the moment when the first plane hit in New York.

Juicy meat adds spice to meal FROM THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION

A tenderloin is the ideal dinner for two: easy, fast and simple. This marinated tenderloin would be great as is with simple sides like grilled asparagus and corn on the cob or can be served as the main dish for a spicy holiday carry-in.

Chipotle marinated pork tenderloin Ingredients 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (see Cook Tips) 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 cup orange juice 3 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 8 ounces pork tenderloin (see cook tips), trimmed of fat

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2013

Find calm in the frenzy “I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” Lewis Carroll, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass”

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

This spicy tenderloin makes for a quick meal with lean meat and smoky chipotle taste.

Combine chipotle and sauce, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a blender or mini food processor; blend or process until the chipotle is chopped and the mixture is relatively smooth. Pour into a sealable plastic bag, add pork and seal, squeezing out any excess air from the bag. Turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours. Preheat grill to high or heat a large indoor grill pan over high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of the meat registers 145° F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Cook’s tip: Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are

smoked jalapenos packed in a flavorful sauce. Find them with Mexican foods in large supermarkets. One pork tenderloin typically weighs about 1 pound, enough for 4 servings. You can marinate a whole pound in the same amount of marinade used to marinate the 8 ounces in this recipe and have enough cooked tenderloin for two dinners (for two people). Or freeze half for up to three months. To make ahead: Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.

While the bare trees and fields nestle in under their blankets, a silence settles over the natural world. Set out on the trail and any small movement of a nondormant woodland creature echoes through the calm. This time of year resonates with quiet solitude. Unless you’re human. As we prepare for the holiday season, nature sits back and observes our often frenzied bustle. In our house, we spend our evenings making crafts and cookies to give as gifts, which we then wrap in plain white paper and decorate with crayon while listening to Christmas music. And then they must be arranged

(and rearranged) around our grapevine tree, which is almost buckling under the weight of clumps of my daughters’ (million) favorite ornaments. Between that and practicing our new songs on the piano, we are together in almost everything we do. It is anything but solitary and silent. TREES In fact, the tends AND season to give rise TRAILS to shrieks of delight and Brandy DePriest a mad dash for to the store for an “essential” forgotten item. We jitter in anticipation of a coveted dumping of snow so that we can burn off some of the excitement by breaking nature’s calm with the creation of snow men (and snow angels and dogs and cats and snow moms and dads and kids). Then with frozen fingers we reluctantly retreat to the warmth of the house and sip

Kerry starts talks on ninth trip to Middle East RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Continuing a furious pace of shuttle diplomacy aimed at securing an elusive Israeli-Palestinian peace deal by spring, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry opened meetings Thursday in the Middle East on his ninth trip of the year to the region. Concerned that a final status agreement may not be possible by the May target that the two sides accepted when they resumed talks in August, senior U.S. officials said Kerry was hoping for a framework accord that would contain the principles of a comprehensive pact, but not specific details. If such an outline could be achieved, the negotiations

could be extended beyond the nine-month timeline originally set by Kerry, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the officials said. The officials, who spoke to reporters aboard Kerry’s plane on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the negotiations publicly, stressed that an agreement on all issues — including security, borders of a future Palestinian state, the status of Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees — by May remains the goal. But, should that prove unworkable, they said a framework

agreement would buy time for additional negotiations. Netanyahu and Abbas agreed after numerous rounds of meetings with Kerry to negotiate for a minimum of nine months. A framework accord, the officials said, would be a “logical step” on the path to a final status agreement. As rare, heavy snow fell on Israel and the Palestinian territories, Kerry met Thursday evening with Abbas in Ramallah. He is to see Netanyahu on Friday before heading to Jordan and then flying to Vietnam and the Philippines. In Ramallah and Jerusalem, he will also follow up on elements of a West Bank security

plan, ideas for which he unveiled on his most recent visit to the region just last week, and other points of potential progress. But his latest visit comes amid Palestinian unhappiness with the security plan and few, if any, tangible signs of progress. Kerry, along with special U.S. Mideast peace envoy Martin Indyk, met separately and then together for about three hours Monday with chief Israeli negotiator Tzipi Livni and her Palestinian counterpart, Saeb Erekat, Psaki said. Livni and Erekat were in Washington for a Mideast conference in which President Barack Obama, Netanyahu and Kerry partic-

ipated. Kerry also spoke Wednesday by phone with Netanyahu. On Monday, though, top Abbas aide Yasser Abed Rabbo said if Kerry finalized a framework accord, he would be breaking a promise to try to negotiate a final agreement in the current round of talks. The Palestinians are concerned that a framework deal will accommodate very specific Israeli security demands while offering only vague promises to the Palestinians, Abed Rabbo said. Security arrangements between Israel and a future Palestine would be central to such a framework. Kerry has argued that progress in

negotiations is only possible if Israeli security concerns are addressed first. The security proposals presented last week to Abbas and Netanyahu include arrangements for the border between Jordan and a state of Palestine. U.S. officials have refused to discuss details, but Palestinian officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the details of the negotiations, say they would give Israel final say at that border for at least 10 years and would also have a military presence in the strip of land next to it, the West Bank’s Jordan Valley.

Health disparities exist JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Residents in some parts of the U.S. are signing up for health care coverage at a significantly greater rate than others through the new online insurance marketplaces now operating in every state. The discrepancy may trace back to the political leanings of their elected leaders. Newly released federal figures show more people are picking private insurance plans or being routed to Medicaid programs in states with Democratic leaders who have fully embraced the federal health care law than in states where Republican elected officials have derisively rejected what they call “Obamacare.” On one side of the political divide are a dozen mostly Democratic leaning states, including California,

Minnesota and New York. They have both expanded Medicaid for lower-income adults and started their own health insurance exchanges for people to shop for federally subsidized private insurance. On the other side are two dozen conservative states, such as Texas, Florida and Missouri. They have both rejected the Medicaid expansion and refused any role in running an online insurance exchange, leaving that entirely to the federal government. The new federal figures, providing a state-by-state breakdown of enrollment in the new health care program through November, showed that the political differences among leaders over the initiative are turning into differences in participation

among the uninsured. Even though many conservative states have higher levels of poverty and more people without health coverage, fewer of them may receive new insurance, said Dylan Roby, an assistant public health professor at the Center for Health Policy Research at the University of California, Los Angeles. With the patchwork implementation of the federal health care law, “the gap will exacerbate,” Roby said The U.S. Health and Human Services Department reported this week that 364,682 people had signed up for private coverage through the new health insurance marketplaces as of Nov. 30 and an additional 803,077 had been determined eligible for Medicaid.

Interpreter: I hallucinated JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The man accused of faking sign interpretation while standing alongside world leaders like U.S. President Barack Obama at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service said Thursday he hallucinated that angels were entering the stadium, has schizophrenia and has been violent in the past. Thamsanqa Jantjie said in a 45-minute interview with The Associated Press that his hallucinations began while he was interpreting and that he tried not to panic because there were “armed policemen around me.” He added that he was once hospitalized in a mental health facility for more than one and a half years. The statements by Jantjie also raise serious security issues for Obama, other heads of state and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who stood next to Jantjie as they made speeches at FNB Stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg’s famed black township. The ceremony honored Mandela, the anti-apartheid icon and former president who died on Dec. 5. A South African deputy Cabinet minister, Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu, later

held a news conference to announce that “a mistake happened” in the hiring of Jantjie. However, many questions remain, including who in the government hired the company that contracted Jantjie, how much money the government paid the company and Jantjie’s own involvement with the company — and even whether it really exists. AP journalists who visited the address of the company that Jantjie provided found a different company there, whose managers said they knew nothing about SA Interpreters. A woman who answered the phone at a number that Jantjie provided confirmed that she worked at the company that hired him for the memorial service but declined comment and hung up. Government officials said they have tried to track down the company that provided Jantjie but the owners “have vanished into thin air,” said BogopaneZulu, deputy minister of Women, Children and People with Disabilities. She apologized to deaf people around the world who were offended by Jantjie’s incomprehen-

sible signing and said an investigation is under way to determine how Jantjie was hired and what vetting process, if any, he underwent for his security clearance. The deputy minister said the translation company offered sub-standard services and the rate they purportedly paid the translator, $77 a day, is far below the usual rate of up to $164 an hour. Ordinarily, sign language interpreters in South Africa are switched every 20 minutes to maintain their concentration levels, she said. Jantjie was on the stage for the entire service that lasted more than four hours. The deputy minister declined to say who in South Africa’s government was responsible for contracting the company that provided the bogus translator, or how those rules were flouted. “It’s an interdepartmental responsibility,” she said. “We are trying to establish what happened.” Jantjie insisted in the AP interview that he was doing proper sign-language interpretation of the speeches of world leaders.

BUDGET: Boehner targets his ire at tea party organizations FROM PAGE A1

tame by comparison with Boehner’s criticism of Republican-favoring outside groups that at times have been more of an obstacle to him than Democrats. “I think they’re misleading their followers,” the Republican speaker said of the groups, whom he pointedly also blamed for last fall’s politically damaging partial government shutdown. “I think they’re pushing our members in places where they don’t want to be. And frankly, I just think that they’ve lost all credibility” by opposing legislation before the details are known.” He mentioned no organizations by name, although it appeared he was referring to Heritage Action and Club for Growth, both of which have sought to push the House further to the right than the Republican leadership has been willing to go. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., a chief GOP architect of the deal, made the conservatives’ case for support. The measure “reduces the deficit by $23 billion. It does not raise taxes and it cuts spending in a smarter way,” said the Budget Committee’s chairman, whose handiwork could well be challenged in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries. The second-ranking Democrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, joined other party leaders in swinging behind the measure, even though he noted that he represents 62,000 federal workers and said future government employees will pay higher pensions costs because of the bill. “This agreement is better than the alternative” of ever deeper across-the-board cuts, he said.

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio vehemently rebukes conservative groups who oppose the pending bipartisan budget compromise struck by House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Thursday, during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington.

The agreement, negotiated by Ryan and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington — and endorsed by the White House — would set overall spending levels for the current budget year and the one that begins on Oct. 1, 2014. That straightforward action would probably eliminate the possibility of another government shutdown and reduce the opportunity for the periodic brinkmanship of the kind that has flourished in the current three-year era of divided government.

All-State for Bauer, Beatty Angola defensive back Austin Bauer and Fremont wide receiver Nate Beatty were both named to Senior All-State teams by the Indiana Football Coaches Association. Bauer made the Class 4A Senior All-State Team on defense along with the Associated Press’ 4A All-State First Team after tying for the state lead in interceptions with 10 this fall. Woodlan’s Greg White also picked off 10 passes.

Bauer also made 54 solo tackles and broke up four passes for the 6-5 Hornets. He had nine assisted tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss, including two sacks. Beatty made the IFCA’s Class 1A Bauer Senior All-State Team on offense after rushing for 1,086 yards and

five touchdowns while catching 31 passes for 435 yards and six scores. He averaged 5.8 yards per carry for the 2-8 Eagles this past season. Beatty was also picked by the state’s media as an honorable mention Beatty at wide receiver to the AP’s 1A All-State Team.

Beatty will be playing in the Diamonds in the Rough game as part of the eighth annual Offense-Defense All-American Bowl Week held from Dec. 30 to Jan. 5 in Orlando, Fla. The Diamonds in the Rough participants will be talented high school seniors who just missed making the Offense-Defense Sports’ Senior Bowl rosters. A majority of those Diamonds in the Rough will be playing football at NCAA Division I and II schools.

Hornet girls too much for Bruins ANGOLA — Angola’s girls swim team defeated Northrop soundly 130-39 Thursday night while the Hornet boys fared well despite being outscored 87-74 largely because the Bruins had more swimmers. The AHS boys took first in eight of the 11 events. Freshman Nathan Bourne won the 100-yard butterfly in 1 minute, 1.31 seconds and the 500 freestyle in 5:53.38. He was also part of both winning relay teams for the Hornets, the 200 medley relay in 2:01.48 and the 200 freestyle relay in 1:50.47. Senior Tevin Crody was part of both winning relays and also won the 100 freestyle in 59.41 seconds. Freshman Brennan Weaver was part of both winning relay teams and won the 100 backstroke in 1:13.06. Senior Chris Clemens won the 50 freestyle in 26.76 seconds and was on Angola’s winning 200 medley relay team.

MLB has reasons for collision ban Heller, LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Baseball officials are up front about this: They want to ban home plate collisions to guard their investments. Minnesota’s Joe Mauer, a former MVP and three-time batting champion, is less than halfway through a $184 million, eight-year contract. He was limited to 75 games at catcher this year in a concussion-shortened season. Buster Posey, another MVP and batting champ, has a $167 million, nine-year deal. San Francisco wants to ensure that he doesn’t have another horrific injury like the one that ended his 2011 season. That’s why Major League Baseball’s rules committee voted

this week to prohibit runners from plowing into catchers. The rule will take effect next season if the players’ association agrees, and in 2015 if the union doesn’t. “It’s a great change. We protect our assets,” Los Angeles Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said Thursday as the winter meetings ended. “Some of the things we’ve seen happen in the recent past — Buster Posey, concussions with Joe Mauer, Yadier Molina getting blown up, they are some of the best players in the game. They mean so much to their team — the financial investments involved. And more importantly, the health of the individual.” Boston’s David Ross, Detroit’s

Alex Avila, Oakland’s John Jaso and Kansas City’s Salvador Perez all missed time because of concussions this year. “Collisions at home plate can significantly alter your ability to win games,” said Andrew Friedman, Tampa Bay’s executive vice president of baseball operations. “I just think athletes today are bigger, faster, stronger, and the catchers are in significant danger of long-term injuries that we can avoid. I think the heightened awareness to concussions influences it quite a bit.” Eleven players who were primarily catchers last season are signed to contracts running through 2016 and beyond, with a

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas coach Mack Brown declined to say Thursday whether the Alamo Bowl will be his final game, amid intense speculation following another disappointing season that began with the Longhorns talking about becoming national championship contenders again. “My situation has not changed,” Brown said. Speaking to reporters for the first time since multiple published reports this week indicated that he might step down, Brown said he has yet to talk with new Texas athletic director Steve Patterson and university President Bill Powers about the job he has held since 1998. Brown deflected several other questions about his future during a news conference in San Antonio about Texas’ bowl game against Oregon on Dec. 30. “I want to sit down with (Patterson) and Bill in the near future and talk about where we’re going and where our program is going,” Brown said. In Austin, Powers reasserted his support for Brown and said they planned

to speak in the coming days. Powers is among Brown’s top supporters, and received a cautious endorsement later Thursday from his frustrated chancellor to temporarily quiet speculation about his own future. Powers has been locked in a two-year power struggle over academics on one of the nation’s biggest campuses. He called Brown one of the sport’s greatest coaches but declined to address the coach’s status after regents allowed Powers to continue the job he’s held since 2006. “I’m going to focus on this. We’ll discuss football at the appropriate time,” Powers said. Brown acknowledged the Longhorns (8-4) didn’t finish how they wanted after starting the season talking about competing for a national championship. The Longhorns last played for a BCS title in 2009, but fan frustration has mounted after a string of seasons that failed to meet expectations. Notably attending Brown’s news conference was influential Texas booster Red McCombs, who is a close friend of Brown’s and one of the university’s

Red Wings lose in shootout TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Martin St. Louis scored in the sixth round of the shootout, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Thursday night. St. Louis netted the lone shootout goal when he beat Jonas Gustavsson to the stick side. Detroit, which has lost all six of it shootouts this season, failed this time against Ben Bishop. Nikita Kucherov scored for the Lightning in regulation. Kyle Quincey had the Red Wings’ only goal of the night. Quincey put the Red Wings up 1-0 with his first goal in 51 games, a rebound backhander from along the goal line just past the post at 15:04 of the first. The defenseman also snapped a 16-game point drought.

Kucherov tied it when he beat Gustavsson from the high slot with 43.7 seconds remaining in the second. Gustavsson made a first-period save on Valtteri Filppula’s in-close backhander. St. Louis sent a shot wide of the net during a short-handed breakaway early in the second. Bishop stopped a shot by Daniel Alfredsson on a 2-on-1 later in the period. An up-tempo third period featured nice saves by both goalies. Both teams had key players sidelined by injuries. Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard hurt a knee in practice on Wednesday and is scheduled to be evaluated Friday in Detroit. Forward Henrik Zetterberg, on the long-term injured list

most generous donors. McCombs told reporters he hopes Brown comes back next year — but didn’t blink about the caliber of coach Texas could get to replace him. If the Longhorns job comes open, expect more speculation about Alabama coach Nick Saban replacing him. The AP reported last month that after last season Texas regents had spoken with Saban’s agent about the possibility of replacing Brown and approached Brown about stepping down. Saban has deflected those reports. But McCombs expressed confidence about Texas’ ability to lure him to one of the wealthiest athletic programs in the nation. “I don’t think there is any question about ‘getting him,’” McCombs said. “When Mack came there, budgets were an issue; they are not an issue now. Hell, all the money that’s not at the Vatican is up at UT.” Brown is 158-47 at Texas, including a national championship in 2005 and another BCS title game against Alabama four years later. But since 2009, the Longhorns are 30-20 and 18-17 in the Big 12.

Tiger Woods’ half-brother arrested for making threat PHOENIX (AP) — The half-brother of golf star Tiger Woods has been arrested in Phoenix for allegedly making a false bomb threat at the government building where he works. Phoenix police say 58-year-old Earl Dennison Woods Jr. is accused of calling in the threat at the Department of Economic Security building about 8:30 a.m. Thursday. Police say they were called after DES employees alerted building security. More than 100 people were evacuated from the building before Woods came forward and told police the phone call was meant as a joke and he didn’t expect his co-workers to take it seriously. Police say Woods has been booked on suspicion of attempting to terrify, intimidate, threaten or harass others. They say Woods is apologetic and cooperating with the investigation. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.

Winston wins O’Brien award LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Florida State star Jameis Winston has won the Davey O’Brien Award, given to the nation’s top quarterback.

He led top-ranked Florida State to a 13-0 record and a berth in the BCS national championship game against Auburn. Along the way, Winston completed 67.9 percent of his passes for 3,820 yards and 38 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. He becomes the third Seminoles player to win the award. Winston was selected over fellow finalists AJ McCarron of Alabama and Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M.

Napoli, Red Sox sign 2-year, $32 million deal BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox finalized their two-year deal with first baseman Mike Napoli on Thursday, bringing back one of the biggest hitters from the World Series team.. Napoli will earn $32 million through 2015. The terms were agreed to last week, when Napoli tweeted, “The beard is coming back to Boston!!! Couldn’t be happier!!” Napoli’s bushy beard made him one of the most visible stars of the Red Sox, but it was his bat that helped them win the World Series. He drove in seven runs in the postseason as the Red Sox beat Tampa Bay, Detroit and St. Louis. Napoli hit .259 with 23 home runs and 92 RBIs this year in his first season with the Red Sox. To make room for Napoli on the 40-man roster, outfielder Alex Castellanos was designated for assignment.

Cook named ND’s defensive coordinator for bowl game SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly says Kerry Cooks will serve as defensive coordinator for the Fighting Irish through the Pinstripe Bowl after Bob Diaco was named head coach at UConn. Cooks served as co-defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach the past two seasons. He has been on the staff at Notre Dame since Kelly arrived in 2010, starting as outside linebackers coach. He played with Diaco at Iowa and played in the NFL for Minnesota, Green Bay, Atlanta and Jacksonville. Kelly previously announced that receivers coach Mike Denbrock would serve as offensive coordinator through the bowl game after Chuck Martin was named head coach at Miami of Ohio. Denbrock was passing game coordinator the past two seasons. He spent time as offensive and defensive coordinator under Kelly at Grand Valley State.

‘Plant a bass,’ said Gene Stratton-Porter

BY TERRI GORNEY

“Plant a Bass” was a campaign begun by the Izaak Walton League soon after it was established. The league formed in 1922 in Chicago and was named for Izaak Walton (1593-1683) who was an English writer and the father of fly fishing. Gene StrattonPorter was a member of the league and heartily supported this campaign. Most people know that Gene Stratton-Porter Gene was known as a bird woman. Few know that she and her husband, Charles Porter, were avid anglers. Charles and Gene spent many a happy hour fishing on the Wabash River close to their home in Geneva. In her book, “At the Foot of the Rainbow,” she wrote about fishing for black bass on the Wabash River at Rainbow Bottom. Charles and Gene also took fishing trips together. Gene wrote an article for the league’s magazine “Outdoor America” titled “My Great Day” and it was about a fishing trip that they took on the Indian River in northern Michigan. This is one of the best fishing stories written about “the one that almost got away.” When she built “Wildflower Woods” on Sylvan Lake in Rome City, she put in windows with “the million dollar view” and put her desk facing away from the window, so that she could concentrate while she wrote. Perhaps she would much rather have been be out on the lake fishing than writing. Why the “Plant a Bass” campaign? It was feared that black bass could become extinct. In 1921, the scientists with the American Fisheries Society tried to rally support for saving the fish and wrote to every prominent state official in the country. The league enlisted a few thousand fishermen to help stock waters with black bass. The United States Fisheries furnished the fish and delivered them to the fishermen’s nearest railroad station free of cost. The U.S. Fisheries was under the Department of Commerce, headed by Herbert Hoover in 1922. Hoover was also a member of the Izaak Walton League. The league wrote in an editorial “… let Secretary of Commerce Hoover know that the American angler is a planter as well as a catcher of fish.” Gene added her name to a growing number of celebrities to encourage others to join the conservation movement. She wrote, “I wish to add my name to those of other anglers and outdoor lovers as a hearty endorser of the ‘Plant a Bass’ campaign. If your plan were carefully carried out by every one to whom it was possible, it would do a greater degree of good than there would be any way of reckoning. I certainly shall put it into practice on the lake in northern Indiana on the banks of which I live, and I shall do everything in my power to have other fishermen residing there, to do the same.” If you are one of those who like to fish for bass on Sylvan Lake, you can thank Gene Stratton-Porter for helping “plant” them there.

Life-saving help offered at quitnowindiana.com To the editor: I hope everyone has seen the Tips From Former Smokers tobacco prevention commercials now playing on television, radio, in newspapers and on billboards. These ads show real people telling real stories, giving voice to over 8 million Americans who are suffering from smoking-related chronic diseases. They are hard-hitting and emotionally compelling. But they are exactly the kinds of commercials that are proven to encourage smokers to try to quit. Last year, 1.6 million smokers attempted to quit smoking because of the Tips from Former Smokers media campaign, and 200,000 Americans had quit smoking immediately following the three month campaign. Almost 80 percent of smokers and almost 75 percent of nonsmokers recalled seeing at least one of the ads and millions talked with loved ones about quitting. Here in Indiana, calls to the Indiana Tobacco Quitline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, doubled when the ads were on air. The more we can get Hoosiers to try to quit, the more likely we can help them quit for good. The ads tell the stories of real people struggling with the kinds of smoking-related diseases that are far too common — including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, more severe adult asthma and complications from diabetes. They show how these illnesses have changed the way these people have to live their lives. Similar stories from Indiana can be seen at quitnowindiana.com. Most smokers say they want to quit. Real stories show how smoking can change the lives and health of Hoosiers. You can still see the ads on cdc.gov/tips. I hope they help inspire you to try to quit. And I hope you’ll call 1-800-QUIT-NOW, or visit equitnow.com to access free quit support. Greg Johnson Tobacco-Free Northeast Indiana

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

Teen wants to marry Internet boyfriend DEAR ABBY: My 17-year-old daughter, “Erica,” is planning to marry her 24-year-old boyfriend. I use the term “boyfriend” loosely because their relationship consists entirely of texting, talking on the phone and the Internet. There has been no dating or getting to know each other in person. Erica is intent on marrying this man even though he has lied to her several times in addition to having lied to us. She is planning to attend a four-year college. I’m not sure how to handle this. She hid the relationship from us for more than six months. I realize Erica needs to make her own mistakes, but I’m not sure how to make her understand my very real concern about this. I have raised other children who went through various phases of teenage

rebellion, but we were able to reach a general compromise on all types of behavior. However, she is unwilling to discuss the possibility of waiting. Any advice would be appreciated. — NEEDS HELP IN DEAR VIRGINIA DEAR ABBY NEEDS HELP: If Erica Jeanne Phillips were my daughter, I’d suggest that because this relationship is so serious it’s time you both paid a visit to her intended. Assuming her father is in the picture, he should be there, too. The subject of who will be paying for college

•

should be discussed, and whether Erica will be able to continue her education if she should become pregnant. It may give her a glimpse of exactly what she’s letting herself in for BEFORE the wedding. Of course the three of you will want to meet as many of his family and friends as possible. Because Erica won’t listen to reason, perhaps SEEING will bring her back down to earth. This will also give you (all) a chance to find out what else her “boyfriend” may have been lying about, including his age. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Type of breast biopsy varies with patients whether it is cancerous and, if so, how quickly it is likely to grow and spread. This information helps to guide treatment decisions. A breast biopsy can be done in different ways, depending on the location and size of the abnormality. • A doctor can perform fine needle ASK aspiration (FNA) in DOCTOR K. an office by inserting a slender Dr. Anthony needle into the breast and Komaroff drawing out (aspirating) a small amount of tissue from a suspicious lump. In some cases, the doctor may use ultrasound images to guide the needle. Ultrasound shows when the tip of the

•

needle has reached the suspicious area. Ultrasound has no damaging effects on the breast: Unlike a mammogram, ultrasound does not involve any radiation. • Most doctors prefer the large core needle biopsy method because it removes more tissue, and that makes for a more accurate diagnosis. A larger needle than the one used for FNA is used. The needle is inserted into the breast through a tiny incision. Using X-rays or ultrasound images as a guide, or by feeling the lump, the doctor moves the needle into the area of concern. He or she extracts one or more tissue samples through the needle using suction from a syringe. Stereotactic needle biopsy is a type of large core needle biopsy. It uses special imaging equipment to pinpoint the tissue to be removed. • In a surgical biopsy, the surgeon makes an incision and removes all or part of the abnormal tissue for

Almanac •

DEAR DOCTOR K: My doctor saw something suspicious on my mammogram and wants to do a breast biopsy. I understand there are several biopsy techniques. Can you tell me what they involve? DEAR READER: The invention of mammograms (X-rays of the breast) has saved many lives. Mammograms can spot a small, early breast cancer, and help doctors cure it. What your doctor saw was a spot that looked like it might be cancer. The mammogram, and other breast-imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cannot tell with certainty. If the mammogram looks suspicious, a biopsy is the only way to know for sure if there is a cancer. In a biopsy, a part of the suspicious-looking area is removed by a minor surgical procedure. This tissue is analyzed in a lab to determine

examination. It is done in an operating room under local or general anesthesia. A biopsy that removes only part of the suspicious tissue is called an incisional biopsy. One that removes the entire lump is called an excisional biopsy. Sometimes a surgical biopsy is preceded by wire localization. During a mammogram, a radiologist inserts a small wire through a needle into your breast, with the end of the wire inside the suspicious area. This helps the surgeon more easily identify the suspicious area. Most biopsies reveal that the suspicious area of the breast is not cancer. Until the biopsy is done, a woman and her family and friends are understandably concerned. Most of the time, the news turns out to be good. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
