GOOD MORNING Research at Purdue could eliminate need for passwords WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — Some Purdue University researchers are working on technology that could see all those passwords that computer users must punch in replaced with steps such as iris and fingerprint scans. The basement lab of Purdue University’s International Center for Biometrics Research is where such emerging biometric technologies are tested for weaknesses before going mainstream. Iris and fingerprint scans as well as facial and voice recognition are just a few of the tools that can improve security while making lives easier, said Stephen Elliott, the center’s director. That technology can allow someone to log into a computer or activate a smartphone simply by swiping their fingerprint over a sensor — and eliminate the need to frequently change passwords. “I think the average person would tell you they have too many passwords and it’s a hassle to change them all the time, and therefore they use the same password for lots of things, which inherently makes that easier to break,” Elliott said. Research into new uses of biometrics is blossoming as universities enlist the technology for tasks ranging from paying for meals to restricting access to high-security facilities. Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh has even studied using sensors in special “bio-soles” that measure the unique gaits and foot pressure to identify people. Soldiers in Iraq carry handheld devices that allow them to scan fingerprints, retinas and faces and compare them with a database filled with hundreds of thousands of identities. Biometrics is already in use at a KFC restaurant in West Lafayette, where workers punch in by putting their finger on a fingerprint scanner attached to their cash register.

Commissioners OK bridge contract BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — The Noble County Board of Commissioners Tuesday voted to take a step toward resurfacing six bridges in 2014. The commissioners voted 3-0 to enter into an engineering and construction inspection contract for six bridges that need to have deck surfaces removed, decks sealed and new surfaces applied. The contract is projected to cost $54,650. Noble County highway engineer Michael Fitch said the engineering work could be done over the winter months, with a

possibility of bids for the project being let in April 2014. The total projected cost for work on all six bridges is $245,000, he said. The bridges to be resurfaced are: • Bridge 62 on C.R. 330N between C.R.s 350W and 250W; • Bridge 63 on C.R. 350W between C.R. 330N and Albion Road; • Bridge 65 on C.R. 525N between C.R.S 350W and 550N; • Bridge 66 on C.R. 900N between C.R.s 250W and 125W; • Bridge 69 on Rochester Road between Union Street East and

Ball Road near Ligonier; and • Bridge 80 on C.R. 100S between Wolf Lake Road and C.R. 150W. Fitch also told commissioners that the county’s recent bridge inspection showed Bridge 82 on C.R. 600S between S.R. 9 and U.S. 33 needs to be replaced. He recommended the commissioners pursue federal funding for that project. If federal funding to replace Bridge 82 is approved, the federal government would pay about $714,000, while Noble County’s match for the grant would be about $142,800, Fitch said. The county’s

share would be paid over a four-year period from 2014 through 2017, with the bulk of the money due when construction would take place in 2017, Fitch said. Also Tuesday, commissioners: • approved 3-0 an equipment purchase for the Noble County Surveyor’s Office to replace a needed rover and data collector.

Aid coming too slowly for typhoon survivors TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) — Desperately needed food, water and medical aid are only trickling into this city that took the worst blow from Typhoon Haiyan, while thousands of victims jammed the damaged airport Tuesday, seeking to be evacuated. “We need help. Nothing is happening. We haven’t eaten since yesterday afternoon,” pleaded a weeping Aristone Balute, an 81-year-old woman who failed to get a flight out of Tacloban for Manila, the capital. Her clothes were soaked from a pouring rain and tears streamed down her face. Five days after what could be the Philippines’ deadliest disaster, aid is coming — pallets of supplies and teams of doctors are waiting to get into Tacloban — but the challenges of delivering the assistance means few in the stricken city have received help. “There is a huge amount that we need to do. We have not been able to get into the remote

communities,” U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said in Manila, launching an appeal for $301 million to help the more than 11 million people estimated to be affected by the storm. “Even in Tacloban, because of the debris and the difficulties with logistics and so on, we have not been able to get in the level of supply that we would want to. We are going to do as much as we can to bring in more,” she said. Her office said she planned to visit the city. Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said relief goods were getting into the city, and the supply should increase now that the airport and a bridge to the island were open. “We are not going to leave one person behind — one living person behind,” he said. “We will help, no matter how difficult, no matter how inaccessible.” Tacloban, a city of about 220,000 people on Leyte island, bore the full force of the winds and the tsunami-like storm surges

Typhoon survivors jostle to get a chance to board a C-130 military transport plane Tuesday in Tacloban, central Philippines. Thousands of typhoon survivors swarmed the airport on Tuesday seeking a flight out, but only a few hundred made it.

Friday. Most of the city is in ruins, a tangled mess of destroyed houses, cars and trees. Malls,

garages and shops have all been stripped of food and water by hungry residents.

TOPEKA — Anyone who is interested in attending the Topeka Historical Society’s annual dinner may call 499-0126 for reservations. The annual dinner is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 6:30 p.m. in The Carriage House, 5280 S. 500W, near Topeka. The event is open to the public.

LIGONIER — The city council completed more paperwork Monday night that could lead to the razing of a century-old eyesore in the city. The city is pursuing a $225,000 grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the state’s Office of Community and Rural Affairs. Bob Murphy, a consultant specializing in municipal grants, gave council members a rundown of the grant request. The building is believed to have been built in the last part of the 19th century and was home to the Wirk Garment factory for several decades. But the three-story structure is deteriorating and needs to come down. It is located on S.R. 5 at the north end of the downtown area. It has not been used for production purposes for more than 35 years. In the last part of the 1990s, a nonprofit group, Discovery Express, took ownership of the building

Ligonier • and tried to rehabilitate it for a faith-based science museum and tourist attraction. But that group, after making some improvements over a three-year period, eventually gave up their project and has since disbanded. The building has a leaky roof, all of its windows have been removed and the foundation is shaky, Murphy said. Murphy said he his hopeful the city will get the grant from the state. Murphy said the projected cost is $250,000 to take down the building and clear the property. The city will have to add another $25,000 and that money is expected to come from the Ligonier Redevelopment Commission. Ligonier Mayor Patty Fisel said the city is hopeful that the property can be developed once the land is cleared. Council members approved resolutions to

apply for the grant and proceed with a plan to purchase the building. City attorney Steve Hagen said he believes the property can be purchased for $1 from what’s left of Discovery Express. Council member Ken Schuman asked Murphy about problems with the condition of soil from possible contamination. Murphy said “as far as we know” no problems have been detected with the land. In another matter, the council heard from Mark Furkis, a member of the Future Ligonier Alliance. That community-improvement group wants to place informational and directional signs in the downtown area. The group would pay for the sign once approval is received from the council and Indiana Department of Transportation. The signs would go on Cavin Street in the downtown area, which is also S.R. 5. They would point out parking spots and tourist attractions for visitors.

All attention at the the Howe Habitat project home has turned to the building’s interior, as crews have more or less finished with its outside.

Crews installed a new roof, new siding and new windows on the house. The project is scheduled to be complete in December.

Project shows path for Habitat BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

HOWE — Mont Arnold doesn’t pull any punches when talking about the difficulties in LaGrange County’s Habitat for Humanity’s first-ever attempt at remodeling an existing home for its latest Habitat partner family, instead of simply building a new house. “There’s no doubt it’s more difficult,” said Arnold, the executive director of the LaGrange organization. “It’s definitely easier to build new homes, there’s no doubt about that.” The Howe project has not been any cheaper than building a new home, he admits. It has required a new roof, new windows, siding and a garage that had be turned 180 degrees, just to mention a few of

the details. But Arnold and others connected with the project say they already consider the Howe project a huge success. Arnold said the project could provide a peek at the path the local organization will take in its future. “This is kind of what we hope to do, affect neighborhoods,” he said of the Howe project. “We can remodel a house and maybe help save a neighborhood.” Part of Habitat’s new mission is building neighbors as much as building houses. “It really makes a great direction for us to sustain our organization and impact our local communities,” he said. Although the approach is new in LaGrange County, Arnold said he’s seen other Habitat chapters success-

fully rebuild existing homes and simply decided to borrow the idea for LaGrange. “It’s not a new idea. It did require a leap of faith, but it was a risk the board was willing to take,” Arnold said. “Other organizations are doing similar projects and really impacting local neighborhoods. I just thought we can do that here. Driving around, I see a lot of local homes I thought had simply been neglected. And I thought they would be great homes for our partner families.” Admittedly, not all future Habitat projects will be as big a project as the Howe home. Arnold said many of the projects he envisions will not require the extensive remodeling needed by this house. Arnold added that he believes the Howe home had only a few years left to stand before it would have needed demolition. Now, he estimates, the almostdead home easily will live another 75 years. “Many homes simply need a dose of ‘tender loving care’ to be brought back to life,” he explained. “This is a labor of love.” With its exterior largely finished, all attention at the Howe project has turned to the home’s interior. Arnold said remodeling an existing home allows Habitat to hang onto a building’s character. Only one tree had to be removed from the Howe home’s lot to allow Habitat to work. Arnold said LaGrange Habitat already is looking at least three new remodeling projects, one in Wolcottville and two more in the southeast corner of the county near Stroh. None of those projects is thought to be as extensive as the Howe home. “It’s going to be a while until we build a new home,” Arnold explained.

Eaton going with the flow AUBURN — Eaton Corp. says its plant in Auburn has reduced the distance material and parts travel through the plant by 4.5 miles per day to improve safety, ergonomics and efficiency. The improvements are part of the plant’s Material Flow Project, a company spokesman said. The Auburn facility designs, engineers and manufactures clutch components for the global commercial vehicle industry. The Material Flow Project began last year to address changes to Auburn’s product mix and growing production volume — more than 50 truckloads of material a day come in and out of the facility. “The project was a real team effort that involved machining, assembly, production, maintenance, materials, engineering and safety,” said Ralph Beam, Auburn’s plant manager. Team members conducted a thorough analysis of Auburn’s overall manufacturing footprint and individual production cells, material storage, work in process, sub-assemblies, finished goods, packaging and shipping areas. They identified a 23-step improvement plan that ranged from moving equipment closer to workers and making greater use of transport carts to installing full-size bearing presses and relocating robotic

cells and entire assembly lines. The project was completed in October. As each step was implemented, production operators, supervisors and engineers responsible for each affected cell worked together to identify other opportunities for improvement. In one area, a new hoist with multi-speed controls was installed that is much easier for workers to operate than the previous system. Visual alerts have been added to trigger inventory replenishment within cells, and material now is delivered to the edge of the various work cells to eliminate forklift traffic within cells. Safety improvements included installing additional guards, bumpers and emergency stop switches. New visual controls identify safety equipment and procedures. In conjunction with the Material Flow Project, Auburn employees installed high-efficiency lighting and fixtures from Cooper, which Eaton acquired last year. Combined, the new fixtures and sensors save more than 600,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year and provide a brighter work environment. The plant also added a high-efficiency air compressor that reduces electricity and gas consump-

LAGRANGE — As a result of a completed methamphetamine investigation, additional charges on Tuesday were filed against Christy T. Shaffer, 35, Topeka, the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release. A warrant was issued for Shaffer for possession of Shaffer meth and maintaining a common nuisance from a Nov. 1 investigation. After approximately a two-hour search for Shaffer, deputies and the Topeka Police Department located her driving a passenger vehicle on C.R. 700 W north of C.R. 700 S at approximately Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. Shaffer was transported to the LaGrange County Jail without incident and is currently being held without bail. The additional charges are believed to stem from a Nov. 1 search by police at a home in the 300 block of North Street. In the search, police located a one-pot meth lab, meth, numerous meth precursors, numerous hypodermic needles and a large amount of meth paraphernalia. During the search, two other men were arrested, Christopher Hollowell, 33, Topeka and Justin Harrington, 28, Albion.

Board votes no confidence in school grading system BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

LAGRANGE — Lakeland school board members voted 5-1 Monday night to adopt a resolution essentially saying they have no confidence in the statewide school grading system Former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett first created and implemented the system. It came under fire after allegations that Bennett and his staff changed the grade for a charter school run by a major contributor to the Republican Party. Before that, Bennett was defeated in a re-election bid last year by current Superintendent Glenda Ritz. Lakeland school board president Bob Bond voted against the resolution, saying it politicizes the situation.

The board also heard a summary of its summer feeding program, showing it served 700 fewer meals this summer than in 2012. School officials will continue to evaluate the program before deciding in the spring whether to participate in the federal meals program again next summer. Board members approved hiring Ami Fulford as a school nurse. They also accepted the resignation of Joanne Mieras as the Title 1 paraprofessional at Lima-Brighton school. Deb Schlemmer has been hired to replace Mieras. Susan Pranger has retired as secretary and extracurricular treasurer at Wolcott Mills Elementary. Candace Miller has been hired as corporation office receptionist and substitute teacher coordinator.

Actress America Ferrera, left, appears on stage as Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai accepts The Women of the Year Fund Honoree Award on stage at the 2013 Glamour Women of the Year Awards on Monday, in New York.

At star-packed Glamour awards, Malala steals show NEW YORK (AP) — There was a flamboyant pop star. A legendary singer. A TV star, some supermodels, and one of the world’s most powerful philanthropists. Even a former secretary of state who may soon be running for president. But of all the prominent women who appeared onstage Monday night at the Glamour Women of the Year awards, no one received more acclaim and adoration than a teenager whom no one had heard of little more than a year ago — 16-year-old Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai. “We love you, Malala!” shouted a group of young girls from a high balcony in Carnegie Hall, where the annual event was held. The teenager blew back a kiss, and proceeded to give an impassioned speech. “I believe the gun has no power at all,” said Malala, who caught the world’s attention when the Taliban shot her in the head in October 2012 for criticizing the group’s interpretation of Islam, which limits girls’ access to education. She has since gained global prominence, has started The Malala Fund to support education for girls, and recently released a memoir, “I Am Malala.”

“I believe the gun has no power because a gun can only kill,” she said. “But a pen can give life.” It wasn’t just the crowd that was taken with Malala; her fellow honorees referred to her often as they took the stage, and the night’s most flamboyant honoree, Lady Gaga, said she wished this month’s Glamour magazine cover, which features her, had been devoted to Malala instead. “If I could forfeit my Glamour cover I would give it to Malala,” she said. In a long and sometimes rambling speech, the pop singer, who sported a huge mane of frizzy white hair, a glistening white suit and her typically sky-high platform shoes, also said she thought she looked too artificially beautiful on that cover. “I do not look like that when I wake up in the morning,” she said. Gaga added that despite her huge fame, “my true talent is not the clothes, and not the music. I really feel that what I am best at is seeing the potential in other people.” She referred to her campaign against bullying among young people, and recalled the case of a young fan who committed suicide in 2011 after being bullied, Jamey Rodemeyer.

Home of Dennis and Pam Musselman at 237 S. Burnam St.

The grandchildren look forward to nestling in their guestroom that has vintage Christmas charm as well. Visions of sugarplums dance in their heads while the fireplace lights flicker throughout the night. Don’t forget to peek out the beautiful dining room window at Santa and his sleigh with reindeer. This is something that children in the neighborhood look forward to. This life-size replica was handcrafted by the homeowner’s parents 35 years ago. You’ll enjoy the enchanting, nostalgic tour of this beautiful home.

From the wreaths on the outside windows, to the homeowner’s childhood Lionel train around the tree to the traditional greenery and Christmas decor throughout, comfort and coziness abounds.

Part of the reason the project is so expensive is because the pond has tested high for molybdenum, so the sludge can’t be applied to farm land without expensive processing or treatment, Albion Town Manager Beth Shellman said. It’s less expensive to put it in a landfill, she said. The pond was last cleared of sludge 17 years ago, Shellman said. It appears the molybdenum, used in some coolants, came from one or more of the town’s former wire-making facilities. No current industry uses products containing

STATINS: Generic versions available at low costs writing the guidance worry that it will be tough to understand. “It will be controversial, there’s no question about it. For as long as I remember, we’ve told physicians and patients we should treat their cholesterol to certain goal levels,” said the Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Steven Nissen. “There is concern that there will be a lot of confusion about what to do.” The government’s National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute appointed expert panels to write the new guidelines in 2008, but in June said it would leave drafting them to the Heart

Association and College of Cardiology. New guidelines on lifestyle and obesity also came out Tuesday, and ones on blood pressure are coming soon. Roughly half the cholesterol panel members have financial ties to makers of heart drugs, but panel leaders said no one with industry connections could vote on the recommendations. “It is practically impossible to find a large group of outside experts in the field who have no relationships to industry,” said Dr. George Mensah of the heart institute. He called the guidelines “a very important step forward” based on solid evidence, and

Also Tuesday, the council: • approved 5-0 renewing the health, dental, life and short-term disability insurance for town employees with no increase in premiums. • approved 5-0 switching the vision insurance for town employees from VSP to Best Life with no increase in costs to employees. • allowed a mural to be placed on the side of the south wall of the Noble County Economic Development Corp. building in downtown Albion. The town owns the building, which served as the Albion Town Hall for decades. The mural is to be placed on a board structure like the one unveiled in town this summer, the council said in its decision to allow the mural.

molybdenum, she reported. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management determined what the town’s options were for dealing with the sludge once it’s removed, Shellman said. The amount of sludge in the pond has been estimated to be 1,801 dry tons, she said. The council voted 5-0 to have Merrell Brothers from Kokomo do the project. Merrell Brothers agreed to remove the sludge up to the point of the town’s maximum budget for it of $480,000, Shellman said. The work is set to begin no later than Aug. 1, 2014, and is expected to be complete in about three months at most, Shellman said. At its October meeting, the Albion Redevelopment Commission approved providing the entire $480,000 for the project from Tax Increment

said the public should trust them. Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. High cholesterol leads to hardened arteries that can cause a heart attack or stroke. Most cholesterol is made by the liver, so diet changes have a limited effect on it. Millions of Americans take statins, which reduce cholesterol dramatically and have other effects that more broadly lower the chances of heart trouble. The patents on Lipitor, Zocor and other statins have expired, and they are widely available in generic versions for as little as a dime a day.

come from his office’s 2014 budget, Sexton said. • requested that the county surveyor’s, auditor’s and recorder’s offices provide information on their requirements for completing administrative subdivisions. That information is to be given to those requesting such subdivisions. Administrative subdivisions are new in the Unified Development Ordinance passed in 2012. They were intended to reduce hurdles to making a simple subdivision, but actually have had the opposite effect, Sexton said. “It is a sticky point in the UDO,” said Noble County zoning administrator Nathan Miller. The problem is that people completing the UDO require-

ments for a subdivision still have to complete those for the surveyor’s, auditor’s and recorder’s offices, Miller said. Since people don’t understand that, the projects are unable to advance even after approval by the Noble County Plan Commission. “Administratively, it isn’t satisfying what they wanted as far as the deed requirements,” commissioners attorney Dennis Graft said. Sexton, Miller, Auditor Jackie Knafel and Recorder Candy Myers all expressed frustration at the current situation, and agreed that communication about all the requirements is needed. Administrative subdivisions may be removed from the ordinance with revisions planned for 2014. • made plans to continue

not removing snow from a driveway in the Placid Point subdivision along Waldron Lake Drive. Residents previously requested that snow be removed, citing a ruling in Noble Circuit Court. They said the ruling said the drive must be maintained by the county. The April 27, 1995, ruling by then-Noble Circuit Judge Robert Probst actually says the driveway must be maintained in the same manner as the county maintains public driveways, but the county doesn’t maintain public driveways, Graft said. “That doesn’t impose anything additional on the county,” Graft said. “We’re doing what we are ordered to do. We are maintaining it as we do other public driveways. We don’t maintain them.”

BLOOMINGTON (AP) — Tom Crean and Indiana fans kept shaking their heads Tuesday night. Eventually, Indiana’s players got the message. They spent the second half driving hard to the basket to create open outside shots, and eventually Will Sheehey took advantage. He made back-toback 3-pointers late in the game, and the Hoosiers survived two potentially winning shots in the final 5 seconds to hold off pesky LIU-Brooklyn 73-72. “I knew Will would make shots at the end because he does it for us every day,” Indiana point guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell said. For the Hoosiers (2-0), it was a ragged night. They shot 38 percent from the field and finished 7 of 26 on 3-pointers. They had more turnovers (14) than assists (13). They gave up nine offensive rebounds and at one point missed 16 consecutive 3-pointers. The combination created angst throughout the usually loud and

nation’s No. 1 team. Indiana fans repeatedly jumped to their feet in the second half, only to sit down when the game-changing spurt they expected didn’t materialize. And those same fans held their breath both times Blackbirds point guard Jason Brickman came within a whisker of pulling off a stunning upset. His layup with 5 seconds left was too hard and his 3-pointer was on target but fell just short as the buzzer sounded. That’s how close LIU-Brooklyn (1-1) was to beating a Big Ten foe for just the third time in school history. “If we didn’t have the capacity to get better, if we didn’t have the capacity to improve inside the game, if we didn’t have the capacity to understand what the game was giving us, we would have lost by 10 or 12 points,” Crean said. “But as many mistakes as we made, we had enough to get over the top.”

Opening tipoff Central Noble shows promise despite defeat

Spartans topple top-ranked Kentucky CHICAGO (AP) — With Keith Appling, Gary Harris and Adreian Payne all scoring in double figures for No. 2 Michigan State, Keith Dawson came up with the biggest basket, tipping in a miss with less than six seconds left to give the Spartans a 78-74 victory over top-ranked Kentucky on Tuesday night. James Young missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer, and the Spartans erupted in delight, with Harris holding up his index finger. No. 1, indeed. It was the earliest meeting of 1 vs. 2, and the first since 2008, and the matchup did not disappoint for many who see it as a sneak preview of the Final Four. Julius Randle had 23 of his 27 points in

the second half, as the Wildcats (2-1) erased a 13-point deficit. But they couldn’t overcome their troubles at the free throw line, going a dismal 20 of 36. No. 3 Louisville 97, Hofstra 69 Russ Smith scored 21 of his game-high 30 points in the first half and Louisville made 12 3-pointers to set the tone for a rout of Hofstra. The senior guard shot 12 of 22 from the field including 5 of 12 from beyond the arc. Wayne Blackshear made three straight 3s for nine points to help Louisville break the game open with a 26-2 second-half run. Luke Hancock returned from an Achilles injury to hit a couple from long range as well as the Cardinals finished 12 of 31 from deep.

Louisville (2-0) shot 35 of 68 overall (51.5 percent), a big improvement from its 38-percent effort in a season-opening win over the College of Charleston. Chris Jones added 20 points with seven assists for Louisville, Montrezl Harrell had 19. The Cardinals forced 22 turnovers leading to 30 points and dominated the paint 44-16. No. 7 Michigan 93, South Carolina State 59 Caris LeVert made his first five 3-point attempts, and No. 7 Michigan had a terrific night from beyond the arc, breezing to a victory over South Carolina State. LeVert finished with 24 points, going 6 of 7 from long distance. Nik Stauskas added 23 points — he was 5 of 6 from 3-point range.

Winnipeg beats Red Wings 3-2 in shootout DETROIT (AP) — Devin Setoguchi and Andrew Ladd scored in the shootout to give the Winnipeg Jets a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night. Bryan Little and Zach Bogosian scored for Winnipeg in regulation. Ondrej Pavelec made 41 saves. Pavel Datsyuk scored twice for

Detroit. Jimmy Howard stopped 19 shots. Daniel Alfredsson scored in the shootout. Datsyuk’s second power-play goal of the game, with 6:49 remaining in the third, tied it 2-2. He stuffed one in from the side of the net for his ninth of the season. The goal came just after a Red Wings’ two-man advantage came to an end.

Detroit outshot Winnipeg 16-2 in the third period. Bogosian gave Winnipeg a 2-1 lead with 9:13 left in the third period. He took a pass in the slot from center Olli Jokinen and moved to his right, made a move and put a shot past Howard from the right circle. It was Bogosian’s first goal of the season.

Indiana got 17 points from Ferrell. Freshman Noah Vonleh added with 17 points and 11 rebounds, his second straight double-double, and the Hoosiers shot 51.6 percent from the field in the second half. They barely avoided losing their first home game to a non-conference foe since falling to Loyola (Md.) in December 2009. And LIU-Brooklyn played well enough to win. Troy Joseph led the Blackbirds with 16 points and six rebounds. E.J. Reed and Gilbert Parga each had 15 points, and Brickman scored 11 points and had 10 assists as he continued his quest to become the fourth player in Division I history with 1,000 career assists. Brickman just couldn’t get those last two shots to go in. “I saw the clock, I saw 1 second and I just tried to get it up,” he said. “It looked good, but it was short.” For most of the night, the Blackbirds dictated the pace in a rare early season contest between defending conference champs. LIU-Brooklyn used a 14-0 first-half run to wipe out Indiana’s 10-4 lead and didn’t trail again until Sheehey made a 15-footer with 17:33 left in the game. Brickman managed to keep LIU-Brooklyn under

control, rallying to rebuild a 50-46 lead, neither team led by more than four over the final 13½ minutes. Sheehey finally tied the score for the ninth and last time when he knocked down a 3 with 2:43 to go. He did it again on Indiana’s next possession, giving Indiana a 73-70 lead with 1:57 left. “I felt like more toward the end, we got down and we had more of a will,” Ferrell said. Thirty seconds later, Brickman answered with two free throws to make it 73-72, setting up a wild finish. Indiana had a chance to seal the victory after Brickman missed the layup, but Devin Davis missed the front end of a one-and-one. Brickman then grabbed the rebound and dribbled to the other end of the court, launching a 25-footer that hit nothing but air as the buzzer sounded. “We wanted to get it up the court quick,” Brickman said with a dejected expression. “If they made them both, we were going to take it out real quick and just try to get an open shot. But it just came up short at the end.” Giving Crean, the Hoosiers and their fans one last chance to exhale. “I think we really had to win tonight,” Crean said. “We won, and I thought they played fantastic.”

young and started a freshman, and a lot of the girls off the bench are young. We see a lot of positive things with those young kids, we feel we have the program headed the right direction. We’re very optimistic, there’s a lot of things to build on.” Yoder begins his third year at the helm of the Cougars. Central Noble was winless his first year and responded with three wins late last season. The Cougars return their top scorer and rebounder in senior Tiffany Simcox, a three-sport standout. She averaged 9.1 points per game last season and snagged 127 rebounds. Simcox led Central Noble scorers with 14 points in the opener. “She’s a great athlete, you can see that on the floor,” Yoder said. Another senior returner is Kennedy Forker, a defensive sparkplug that led the Cougars with 37 steals last season. She averaged four points per game and trailed only Simcox in her accuracy at the free throw line last season. Forker finished with 11 points against Whitko.

Tricia Van Gessel also brings experience into the lineup. The junior gives Central Noble added rebounding strength. She averaged 3.2 points per game a year ago and had two points on Tuesday. Mikayla Stringfellow also saw varsity action as a freshman last season and scored eight points against Whitko. Central Noble also got five points from freshman Courtney Freeman, three points from sophomore Brianna Collins and one point from sophomore Jordan Askren. The Cougars didn’t show any first-game jitters, jumping ahead 7-2 at the outset on a triple by Freeman and buckets by Forker and Van Gessel. “We were really motivated to prove how far we’ve came,” Yoder said. “I was really happy with the enthusiasm we came out with at the start of the game.” Whitko regrouped to tie the game at 8-8, but Central Noble scored the final nine points of the stanza to lead 17-10. Simcox had five points during the 9-0 run. “They came out and were more physical, more patient,

The Wildcats changed up their defense in the second half, making it tougher for the Cougars. “Our communication caused our defense to get better, which caused our offense to get better,” Bradley explained. “We put up a lot more points in the second half and a lot of that was off our transition.” The Cougars stayed within a point until Aly Reiff hit the first of three Whitko triples in the third period. The Wildcats also scored the final 10 points of the stanza to move to a 45-34 margin heading into the final quarter. Whitko controlled the final quarter, hitting three more three-point attempts. Aly Reiff led Whitko with 22 points. Also in double figures was Jennifer Reiff, with 16 points. The Cougars don’t go on the road this season until Dec. 2 at Fort Wayne Blackhawk. Central Noble plays host to Garrett on Nov. 19, begins the NECC season against Fremont on Nov. 22, and ends the month on Nov. 26 in another NECC game with Lakeland.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Chiefs receiver Bowe arrested RIVERSIDE, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe was arrested outside Kansas City over the weekend on charges of speeding and possessing marijuana, throwing his status for a pivotal AFC West showdown against the Denver Broncos into question. Bowe was pulled over for going about 48 mph in a 35 mph zone, police in suburban Riverside said Tuesday. Police said an officer smelled “a strong odor of marijuana from inside of the vehicle,” and asked Bowe and two passengers to get out of the car. Police then used a dog to search for illegal substances and found a bag with Bowe’s wallet and two containers holding what the officer suspected was marijuana. One container held 6.6 grams of the substance, and the other had 3.8 grams, or about one-third of an ounce in all. Bowe was cited for speeding and possession of a controlled substance, police said. He posted $750 bond and is scheduled to appear in Riverside court on Dec. 18. Chiefs spokesman Ted Crews said the team was aware of the situation but declined further comment. Bowe’s agent, Todd France, did not return a message seeking comment. It’s unclear whether Bowe will be available for Sunday’s game. While penalties have varied, Commissioner Roger Goodell historically has suspended players one game without pay and fined them an additional game check for possession of marijuana, once the case is finalized.

13 baseball free agents turn down qualifying offers ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Baseball’s annual gathering of general managers began Monday when $14.1 million qualifying offers were turned down by all 13 free agents who received them from their former teams, a group that included Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Napoli and Stephen Drew of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox. Three New York Yankees also said no thanks: Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Hiroki Kuroda. The others turning down the offers were Atlanta’s Brian McCann, Cincinnati’s Shin-Soo Choo, Cleveland’s Ubaldo Jimenez, Kansas City’s Ervin Santana, St. Louis’ Carlos Beltran, Seattle’s Kendrys Morales and Texas’ Nelson Cruz. “I don’t think it’s that particularly surprising that all the offers were turned down across baseball,” Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. New York Mets GM Sandy Alderson interpreted the turndowns as an indicator a bull market is possible. “That ought to tell you a little bit about their expectations,” he said. If a player who turned down the offer signs with a new team, his former club would receive an extra amateur draft pick at the end of the first round next June. All 22 players given qualifying offers have said no during two offseasons under the new system.

Byrd, Phillies close in on deal ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Marlon Byrd and the Philadelphia Phillies closed in Tuesday on a $16 million, two-year contract, a deal that would come less than a year after he was playing in Mexico’s winter league. A person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday an agreement could be put in place soon. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. A 36-year-old outfielder, Byrd hit a career-high 24 homers for the New York Mets and Pittsburgh, which acquired him on Aug. 27. He batted .364 with one homer and five RBIs in six postseason games after hitting .291 during the season with 88 RBIs, one short of his career best. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. declined comment. “If you don’t want to give up your first-round pick, Marlon Byrd is arguably the best available outfield bat,” Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said. “We feared he was out of our price range immediately. We stayed engaged in the process, and Marlon and his agents talked about wanting to come back to Pittsburgh. He loved his time there. The environment and playing for a winner and playing in front of that fan base was something that really intrigued him.” A career .280 hitter with 106 homers and 533 RBIs, Byrd was released by Boston in June 2012, then given a 50-game suspension 11 days later following a positive test for Tamoxifen, which can reduce side effects of steroid use and increase testosterone.

Valparaiso lets Carlson go VALPARAISO (AP) — Valparaiso football coach Dale Carlson was fired on Sunday, a day after the Crusaders lost 72-12 to Butler. Athletic director Mark LaBarbera announced the move Sunday in a news release. Carlson was in his fourth season leading the Valpo program and departs with a 3-40 record. The Crusaders are 1-9 and 1-6 in the Pioneer League. Carlson was the first football coach at Ohio Dominican and Tri-State universities. Tri-State is now called Trine University. He led the Thunder to 47 wins and two NAIA playoff appearances from 1994 to 2002. Assistant head coach Mike Gravier will serve as interim coach for Valpo’s season finale at home against Dayton on Saturday.

My new Internet friend I have made a new Internet friend. His name is Mailer Daemon. Faithful readers will remember this is not my first technological friend. I have a friend named Dave who calls me incessantly to remind me when my medicine is ready to be picked up. I talk to Dave more frequently than anyone else in my life (which is a sad commentary on both my social life and the amount of sustainable medications I require to remain afloat). MATT Anyway, every morning for the last couple of GETTS weeks I wake to find that Mailer Daemon (plain old “Daemon” to his friends) has written me a multitude of emails. All of them, at least so far, have been to tell me that emails I have sent to various people from my account were not able to be sent because the address I sent them to did not exist. Over the last six or In an effort to express seven days, there have my appreciation for been maybe a hundred such his heart-felt sentiment corresponregarding my emails dences. and their lack of And to my knowledge, delivery, I decided to I haven’t email him back. knowingly sent any of these emails in the first place. None of the addresses in these emails is in my address book. So one of two things is happening. The first option is that in my sleep I am sending emails to random people. I would not discount this option offhand. My mind, uh, isn’t what it used to be. At least I don’t think it is. The second option is that somebody has hijacked my email account and is now sending spam emails or viruses from me. This is not good. On the bright side, this is not happening behind my back. My good friend Daemon is continuously letting me know this is happening. I appreciate his concern for my well-being. The messages from Daemon are consistent: “I’m afraid I wasn’t able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I’ve given up. Sorry it didn’t work out.” What a great guy. His talk of fear and his apologetic nature bespeak a man in touch with his feelings. In an effort to express my appreciation for his heart-felt sentiment regarding my emails and their lack of delivery, I decided to email him back. I wrote (quite eloquently if I do say so myself): “I did not send this.” Obviously, I want to impress my new friend. I didn’t want Daemon to think I send so many emails to people who don’t get them. The cold, calculated response I got back: “Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently …” Sigh. Just like my friend Dave. After the first 20 or so times Dave called to tell me my funny-writing medicine was ready, I quit trying to strike up a conversation with him. He never told me how his family was or how work was going. Dave is a guy big on personal privacy. I like that in a friend. I may email Daemon and give him Dave’s phone number. I really think they’d hit it off.

Letters to The Editor • Let the people decide on same-sex marriage To the editor: Referencing David Powers’ letter Nov 10. Mr. Powers, in your article I kept reading “me-me-me.” Not once did I read about how the constituents want Mr. Smaltz to vote on HJR6. This is why I didn’t vote for you, you don’t seem to care what the district people desire, this seems to be about what you believe, what you want and if someone differs, they don’t belong. I appreciate that Mr. Smaltz has not decided an opinion yet, or at least vocalized it. He isn’t voting on this as an individual, he is supposed to be voting as an elected official, for the people he represents. I want him to fully understand the bill before voting, to ask his constituents what they think before deciding how to vote, and a referendum is the best choice in my opinion. Let the people decide, isn’t that the most basic of conservative principles? It was your statement, “Especially since the very definition of marriage as between one man and one woman provides not only for the structure of family and children but also speaks to the very foundation of a free society” that really made me pay attention. The very foundation of our free society is now based upon one woman and one man being married? Not a foundation of personal rights, not a foundation of equal rights, not even a foundation of law, only a marriage between a man and a woman. Allowing same-sex marriage is going to result in a “non free” society and all my individual rights will cease? Your definition of marriage provides for the ONLY structure of family? The years that I raised my children as a single parent, we were not a structured family? I will never understand why so many conservatives fear change except you fear others not being controlled. Irony, conservatism is supposed to be about individual choices, individual rights … or is it only conservatism when they agree with your thoughts?

Society is changing, you can be part of the change, or be left behind. I hope Hoosiers are willing to put fear aside and consider what examples we have become for our youth, the ones seeking the change. I would like if our youth would speak out on this topic instead of just the elder generations. Dave Rodecap Auburn

Voters prefer campaigns based on issues, policies, not negativity To the editor: I would like respond to David Powers’ remarks in the letter published on Sunday Nov. 10. The DeKalb County Republican Party’s goals are to provide the people of DeKalb County with quality conservative candidates for elected offices. Our mantra is “Promoting the highest possible standards in public service.” Mr. Powers’ letter attacking a respected elected official and the county Republican Party in the manner and tone he used is disturbing and does not reflect the high standards our party expects, especially from one who desires to hold public office. Mr. Powers references “the Republican godfathers” and “establishment Republican kingmakers of the Republican Party.” The DeKalb County Republican Party welcomes all Republican candidates and does not endorse any particular candidate during a primary. The people of DeKalb County and voters of House District 52, not “the godfathers” or “kingmakers,” chose Ben Smaltz in the primary with 66 percent of the vote in a four-way race. (Mr. Powers garnered second place with 17 percent.) Should Mr. Powers choose again to enter his name as a candidate, I would like to remind him, and any other candidate, that the voters of DeKalb County would prefer a campaign based on issues, policies and what the candidate

has to offer instead of negativity, personal attacks and one based on the tone in which he prefers to write. We prefer and expect candidates who also believe in higher standards. Thank you. Brad McDaniel Chairman, DeKalb County Republican Party

Voters will smile when voting for Smaltz in next election To the editor: I recently read the latest attack on Ben Smaltz by Mr. David Powers and have had enough. Mr. Powers is great at a few things. He likes to attack without substance, he likes to offer no solutions to the issues that hamper the state, and he is what he called Mr. Smaltz, a coward. I attended the counting of the ballots and was there when it was confirmed that Mr. Smaltz won the election by a amazingly large margin over Mr. Powers. I also noticed that Mr. Powers hightailed it to the door without even doing what a man of his claimed stature would do, that is congratulate Mr. Smaltz. That is the definition of a coward. I have talked to Mr. Smaltz on countless occasions. He takes the time, and he delivers the answers. He is not without a plan like Mr. Powers. Mr. Smaltz answers questions. He knows what Auburn and District 52 need. These are the type of politicians this country needs. People with a plan, and the ability to execute the plan. Not someone that is living by his past failures. I’m proud that Mr. Smaltz doesn’t define what Mr. Powers is. A typical politician. A politician that likes to attack then hide behind the disingenuous print of his disdain. Auburn has proved that it is better than what Mr. Powers can deliver and they proved it in the last election. I know that my peers will be smiling when they vote for Mr. Smaltz in the next election. They see through the charade of reality that Mr. Powers is living in. Glen Bailey Leo

Farm Bill threatens citizens’ right to know BY PATRICE MCDERMOTT

Families who live near or share waterways with large corporate farms or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) have a critical need to know some basic facts about these operations. The public’s right to this information, however, could be stripped away by the Farm Bill under debate in Congress. Negotiators from the House and Senate are meeting to try to develop a compromise between the House-passed version of the Farm Bill and what was passed by the Senate. Among the differences between the bills, the House’s version includes language that unnecessarily cuts off public access to basic information about livestock and agricultural operations. We understand that the House’s intent is to make sure that the government does not release farmers’ personal information. But, there are two major problems with the way that the House’s approach to this: one, the language ignores that the law already includes strong protections for personal privacy; and two, the language is so broad that it wraps up information about corporate farms with small farm operations. Earlier this year the Environmental

Protection Agency released the information of around 80,000 livestock operations across the country to environmental groups. After hearing from affected farmers and members of Congress, the EPA determined that it improperly released personal information. The EPA asked that the requesters return the information and the requesters complied, agreeing to return the original documents and destroy all copies of the information in their possession. In other words, the EPA determined that existing protections for personal privacy should have prevented them from releasing this information in the first place. Beyond being an over-reaction to the controversy surrounding the EPA’s actions, the House’s language sets a terrible precedent for extending the Freedom of Information Act’s personal privacy protections to corporations. The House’s failure to define “owners” or “operators” means that the EPA will be required to deny members of the public access to not only small family operations but to large corporate operations as well. In a recent Supreme Court case, FEC vs. ATT, the Court ruled that Congress never intended for corporations to enjoy such protections under the FOIA. To extend these

Thanksgiving becoming new Black Friday

Putin promises to increase military help to Vietnam HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that his country will expand its military supplies to Vietnam, as he held talks with his Vietnamese counterpart to boost ties between the former ideological allies. Military and energy cooperation topped the agenda during the talks between Putin and Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang. “We have had specific discussions on military cooperation,” Putin, who was on a one-day visit, told reporters via a translator in a joint press briefing in Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital. “We plan to expand the supplies of Russian military products to Vietnam.” Russia remains the main supplier of military hardware to Vietnam, and plans are being worked out to produce some military equipment in the Southeast Asian country with assistance from Russian companies. Last week, Russia handed over the first of six diesel-electric Kilo Class submarines in a deal signed in 2009. The two presidents witnessed the signing of more than a dozen agreements covering military, oil and gas, education and health care cooperation.

American Airlines, US airways will be allowed to merge WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department says it has reached an agreement to allow American Airlines and US Airways to merge, creating the world’s biggest airline. The agreement requires the airlines to scale back the size of the merger at Washington’s Reagan National Airport and in other big cities. In August, the government sued to block the merger, saying it would restrict competition and drive up prices for consumers on hundreds of routes around the country. The airlines have said their deal would increase competition by creating another big competitor to United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, which grew through recent mergers. The settlement reached Tuesday would require approval by a federal judge in Washington and eliminate the need for a trial that had been set to begin Nov. 25. It would require American and US Airways to give up takeoff and landing rights or slots at Reagan National and New York’s LaGuardia Airport and gates at airports in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and Miami to low-cost carriers.

Pianist in Spain may be prosecuted for practicing MADRID (AP) — To most people, noise pollution is a jet engine roaring over their head. For one Spanish woman, it was a neighbor playing the piano more softly than a spoken conversation. The woman has taken her neighbors in the apartment below — a 27-year-old pianist and her parents — to court. Now prosecutors want to send all three to jail for over seven years on charges of psychological damage and noise pollution. Neighbors often complain about street and bar noise in Spain, but prosecutors seeking jail time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of — especially since that musician is now a professional concert pianist. At the trial in the northeastern city of Gerona, Sonia Bosom claimed she suffered noise pollution from 2003 to 2007 due to the five-days-a-week, eight-hour practice sessions of Laia Martin, who lived below her in the northeastern town of Puigcerda.

Antony Wood, executive director of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat announces Tuesday that New York City’s One World Trade Center, right, will become the tallest building in the United States upon completion,

dethroning Chicago’s Willis Tower. The Height Committee of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat said the needle atop the skyscraper is not an antenna but a spire, and thus is a permanent part of the building.

New World Trade Center to become nation’s tallest CHICAGO (AP) — The new World Trade Center tower in New York will replace Chicago’s Willis Tower as the nation’s tallest building when it is completed next year, an international panel of architects announced Tuesday. The Height Committee of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat said that because the needle atop the New York skyscraper is a permanent spire and not an antenna it can be counted when measuring the structure’s height. The needle, measuring 408 feet tall, was more than enough to confirm Chicago is the Second City when it comes to tall buildings. With the needle, 1 World Trade Center is a symbolically important 1,776 feet tall. Without it, the building would have been only 1,368 feet tall — well short of the

1,451-foot Willis Tower. At stake was more than just the pride of two cities that feast on superlatives and the tourist dollars that might follow: 1 World Trade Center, with its beacon on top will stand as a monument to those killed in the 9/11 attacks, and its architects had sought to capture the echo of America’s founding year in the structure’s height. Not only that, but the building’s height without the needle also holds symbolism because at 1,368 feet it is the height of the original World Trade Center. Antony Wood, the council’s executive director, said the needle is particularly important as a “structural and symbolic element.” Further, he said, the decision to put the spire atop the building was part of a ‘quest” to build a permanent

reminder of what the nation went through. “This was not an economic quest for bragging rights to the U.S.’s tallest,’ he said. “This was a quest to put something meaningful and symbolic on that site because of the horrible history of what happened on that site.” He said the antennae on top of the Willis Tower help to make the committee’s point about permanence, explaining that when the building went up there were no antennae, and that the original antennae have been replaced with taller ones. Wood also made another point that, though not a factor on the committee’s decision, is significant: that the Willis Tower will continue to be an attraction for years just like the Empire State Building is decades after it, too, was eclipsed by taller buildings.

NEW YORK (AP) — Last Thanksgiving Day, Kimberly Mudge Via’s mother, sister and nieces left in the middle of their meals to head for the mall. Now, Via says she’ll never host Thanksgiving dinner for her relatives again. “They barely finished,” says the 28-year-old who lives in Boone, N.C. “They thanked me and left their plates on the counter.” That scene could become more common in homes across the country. Black Friday shopping, the annual rite of passage on the day after Thanksgiving, continues to creep further into the holiday as more stores open their doors a day early. It’s a break with tradition. Black Friday, which typically is the year’s biggest shopping day, for a decade has been considered the official start to the busy holiday buying season. Stores open in the wee hours of the morning with special deals called doorbusters and stay open late into the evening. Meanwhile, Thanksgiving and Christmas remained the only two days a year that stores were closed. Now Thanksgiving is slowly becoming just another shopping day. Over the past few years, major retailers, including Target and Toys R Us, slowly have pushed opening times into Thanksgiving night to one-up each other and compete for holiday dollars. Some initially resisted, saying that they wanted their employees to be able to spend time with their families. This year, more than a

dozen major retailers are opening on Thanksgiving, including a handful like Macy’s, J.C. Penney and Staples that are doing it for the first time. The Gap, which operates its Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic, is opening half of its stores on Thanksgiving morning. Retailers say they’re just doing what shoppers want. And they know that opening earlier gives them a chance to be the first to grab shoppers’ dollars. That’s an important opportunity for chains, which can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the last two months of the year. But so far, it’s unclear whether opening on Thanksgiving boosts retailers’ top line or simply pushes forward sales from Friday. Last year, it was the latter: Sales on Thanksgiving were $810 million last year, an increase of 55 percent from the previous year as more stores opened on the holiday, according to Chicago research firm ShopperTrak. But business dropped 1.8 percent to $11.2 billion on Black Friday, though it still was the biggest shopping day last year. That day accounted for about 4.3 percent of holiday sales last year. “Customers clearly showed that they wanted to be out shopping much earlier on Thanksgiving,” Amy von Walter, a spokeswoman for Best Buy, which moved up its opening this year to 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving from midnight on Black Friday in 2012. “Our plan this holiday is a direct result of that feedback.”

Kidnappings now commonplace in Lebanon BEIRUT (AP) — For nearly three weeks, kidnappers held Lebanese pharmacist Wissam Khatib, threatening to kill him and his children if his family didn’t pay a ransom of tens of thousands of dollars. During his captivity, Khatib — often shackled and blindfolded — went through depression, terror, pain. But, he says, the trauma was not a surprise. A well-to-do pharmacist in the eastern Lebanese city of Zahleh, the 40-yearold Khatib knew he was a target. He had escaped one kidnapping attempt in August, when he saw masked gunmen approaching his pharmacy and fled before they saw him. He expected them to return, knowing that Lebanon’s weak security forces couldn’t help him. “The state knew, security forces knew, but they didn’t help me at all,” Khatib told The Associated Press. Hostage-taking of wealthy businessmen in Lebanon has risen more

than seven-fold in an unlikely knock-on effect from Syria’s civil war. Security officials say gangs who once made their money smuggling fuel and contraband through the porous Syria-Lebanon border have watched their trade wither because of the violence, so they are turning to kidnapping to make a profit. Lebanon is suffering multiple woes from the war next door. The tiny country, with a population of 4.5 million, has been flooded with an estimated 1 million Syrians fleeing the conflict. Also, tensions between its Sunni and Shiite communities have spiked, sometimes exploding into deadly clashes, mirroring the sectarian hatreds in Syria, where Sunnis largely support the rebellion, and Shiites and the Alawite sect — an offshoot of Shiism — back President Bashar Assad. In the latest violence, a Sunni sheik, Saad El-Deen Ghieh, was shot to death in his car Tuesday by gunmen in the northern city of Tripoli, scene of frequent

Peace talks in peril JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s Housing Ministry said Tuesday it has launched plans for potential construction of thousands of new homes the West Bank, including development of a contentious area outside of Jerusalem, prompting a Palestinian threat to walk out of Mideast peace talks. It was the latest blow to the U.S.-brokered peace talks, which have made no visible progress since they were launched over the summer and have become deadlocked amid disputes over Israeli settlement construction. U.S. officials said they were blindsided

by the Israeli announcement and demanded an explanation. Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, said he had called the United States, Russia, the European Union, the United Nations and the Arab League to voice his objections. “I informed them that if Israel implements this decision, then this means the end of the negotiations and the end of the peace process,” Erekat said. The Palestinians claim the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories captured by Israel in 1967, for an independent state.

Expressing gratitude never goes out of style DEAR ABBY: With the holidays approaching, a reminder is in order. People: Don’t forget those thank-you notes! I don’t mean an email, but a REAL, honest-to-gosh thank-you note sent through the mail with postage. My mother always told me that a gift is not truly yours until a proper thank you has been sent. She said it “completed the transfer.” I was not allowed to play with the item or use it until that note was written. This is especially true for young people today, who seemingly were not taught this in school or by their parents. Very young children can draw a picture, and the parent can add a line to say it was drawn to express thanks. As the child matures, he/she can use his/ her own words of gratitude. I can’t tell you how many parents comment on the absence of this display of etiquette. Good manners

sent. Some of the writers say they are so hurt and offended that they will stop giving gifts because they were left hanging, wondering if their gift was ever received. The problem may be that many parents no longer insist their children practice this courtesy, so the kids never learn how to do it. Chief among the reasons that thank-you notes aren’t sent is that many people don’t know what to say. They think the note has to be a long, flowery composition when, in fact, short and to the point is more effective. Keeping a notepad handy when opening gifts and immediately taking a moment to jot down the first thought that comes to mind is helpful. (Example: Do you like the color? The style? Is it something you had been looking for and couldn’t find? Is it a special homemade treat? Mmmm.) WRITE IT DOWN.

If patience fails, try duct tape to get rid of warts On the other hand, some warts disappear only to later reappear.

This low-risk, low-tech approach may sound suspect, but it’s worth a try. Wear a patch of duct tape over your wart for six days. Remove the patch, soak and file the wart, and leave it uncovered overnight. Reapply the tape in the morning and leave it in place for another six days. Repeat for two months or until the wart disappears. Use silver duct tape, which is stickier and has a particular kind of adhesive.

DEAR DOCTOR K: What is the best way to get rid of warts? DEAR READER: Getting rid of warts can be a challenge. Fortunately, the more effective treatments are the simplest. Warts occur when skin cells grow faster than normal because they are infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts aren’t highly contagious, but they can spread from person to person by direct contact, mainly through breaks in the skin. Warts on one part of the body can also spread to other areas. Warts are generally harmless and often disappear on their own over time. As I write this column, I’m watching a wart on my foot get smaller with no treatment and hoping it will just disappear. So “watchful waiting” is definitely an option for new warts.

are never out of date. They are noticed and appreciated. From time to time I have seen you mention your booklet on “How to Write Letters.” If it includes a section on thank-you notes, I’m sure it would be helpful DEAR to a lot of in ABBY people the next two months. — ELINOR IN Jeanne Phillips SURPRISE, ARIZ. DEAR ELINOR: The booklet does. Not a day goes by that I don’t receive letters and emails from readers who are upset enough to write because they haven’t received a thank-you note for a birthday, graduation, wedding or holiday gift they

(cryotherapy), a clinician swabs or sprays liquid nitrogen onto the wart. The extreme cold burns the skin, causing pain, redness and usually a blister. Getting rid of the wart can take three or four treatments, although it’s sometimes successful with just one. • Various other solutions that “kill” warts can be applied by the doctor. They all have strange names: imiquimod, cantharidin, tretinoin, 5-fluorouracil. Don’t try to pronounce them — that’s one of the things you pay your doctor to do. Warts that don’t respond to standard therapies may need treatment with prescription drugs or with a “zapping and cutting” procedure done under local anesthesia. DR.

Medicaid rare overhaul success GOP poised to WASHINGTON (AP) â€” The ugly duckling of government health care programs has turned into a rare early success story for President Barack Obamaâ€™s technologically challenged health overhaul. Often criticized for byzantine rules and skimpy payments, Medicaid has signed up 444,000 people in 10 states in the six weeks since open enrollment began, according to Avalere Health, a market analysis firm. Twenty-five states are expanding their Medicaid programs, but data for all of them was not available. Meanwhile, private plans offered through troublesome online markets are expected to have enrolled a far smaller number of people. The Obama administration plans to release October enrollment statistics this week, but publicly available figures already provide a contrast between a robust start for Medicaid expansion and lukewarm early signups for new, government-subsidized private plans offered separately under the law. â€œMedicaid is exceeding expectations in most places,â€? said Dan Mendelson, Avalereâ€™s president. â€œIt is definitely a bright picture in states that have chosen to expand.â€? A big reason for the disparity: In 36 states, the new private plans are being offered through a malfunctioning federal website that continues to confound potential customers. And state-run websites have not been uniformly glitch-free. Obamaâ€™s health care law melded two approaches to advance its goal of broader insurance coverage. Middleclass people with no access to job-based coverage are

block another court nominee

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, right, with Sue Birch, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, center, speak with an attendee of a news conference earlier this year where Hickenlooper announced a plan to expand Medicaid

offered subsidized private plans, while low-income people are steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states accepting it. Starting Jan. 1, the law expands Medicaid eligibility to those with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level â€” $15,856 for an individual or $32,499 for a family of four. The Supreme Court gave states the right to opt out of the expansion, which is fully financed by Washington for the first three years, gradually phasing down to a 90 percent federal share. At present, 25 states and the District of Columbia have accepted the Medicaid expansion, which is strongly

coverage for adults as called for by President Barack Obamaâ€™s federal health care law. The underdog of government health care programs is emerging as the rare early success story of President Barack Obamaâ€™s technologically challenged health overhaul.

supported by state hospital associations, medical groups and advocates for the poor. Its main beneficiaries are expected to be low-income adults with no children living at home. The White House is promoting the expansion. In a visit to Louisiana last week, Obama chided Republican leaders in the states who have turned thumbs down so far. In the audience was GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal, who was not swayed. If the expansion is seen as a success, that could motivate supporters in states like Virginia, which just elected Democrat Terry McAuliffe to replace a GOP governor reluctant to widen the scope of government.

Another key state is Florida, where GOP Gov. Rick Scott abandoned expansion efforts after hitting stiff opposition in the legislature. An estimated 1.3 million Floridians could qualify. Avalereâ€™s statistic of at least 444,000 new Medicaid enrollees comes from 10 of the 25 states that accepted the expansion, so it only represents a partial count. Those numbers may also include some individuals eligible for Medicaid under current rules. In Colorado, Medicaid applications in October were six to nine times what they were the month before, said Sue Birch, who heads the stateâ€™s Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.

WASHINGTON (AP) â€” Republicans seemed ready to block another of President Barack Obamaâ€™s picks for one of the nationâ€™s top courts on Tuesday, the latest skirmish in a nominations battle that has intensified partisan tensions in the Senate. Senators planned to vote on Obamaâ€™s selection of Georgetown University law professor Cornelia Pillard to fill one of three vacancies on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Majority Democrats were expected to fall short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a GOP procedural blockade against Pillardâ€™s nomination. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the vote on Pillard â€œa political exercise designed to distract the American people from the mess that is Obamacare,â€? a reference to the 2010 health care law that is getting off to a troubled start. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Republicans were making â€œcynical arguments in an effort to maintain an ideological edgeâ€? among judges on the D.C. circuit. The D.C. circuitâ€™s eight current judges are evenly divided between those appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the GOP was blocking approval

of â€œyet another talented female jurist.â€? Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, called that argument â€œoffensive,â€? adding that Democratsâ€™ â€œlast line of defense is to accuse Republicans of opposing nominees based upon gender or race.â€? Democrats have been threatening that if Republicans continue derailing Obamaâ€™s nominations, they might unilaterally rewrite Senate rules to make it harder for the chamberâ€™s minority party to do that. It is unclear that Democrats have enough votes to do so, with some senior lawmakers warning that the change would boomerang against them should the GOP recapture the Senate majority and the White House. The D.C. circuit court is generally considered second in clout only to the Supreme Court. It rules on White House and federal agency actions, and some of its judges customarily have been elevated to Supreme Court justices. Republicans have accused Obama of trying to tilt the courtâ€™s balance in his direction to protect the fate of his administrationâ€™s policies. They say the D.C. circuit has a lighter caseload than other districts, and have proposed legislation eliminating one of its vacant judgeships and moving the two others to busier circuits.

Low earnings slow market US may be drawn into Morocco-Algeria dispute NEW YORK (AP) â€” Disappointing company earnings and falling oil prices pulled stocks back from record highs on Tuesday. NRG Energy slumped after the company lowered its earnings forecast, leading other power companies lower. News Corp. fell after the media company posted an unexpected revenue decline due to weakness at its Australian newspapers. Energy stocks declined after oil dropped to a five-month low. Winners included airlines. The gains were led by JetBlue Airways after the Justice Department said it cleared the way for American Airlines and US Airways to merge, creating the worldâ€™s biggest airline. This yearâ€™s 24 percent surge in the stock market has slowed

in November. The Standard & Poorâ€™s 500 has edged up 0.6 percent this month after an average monthly increase of 1.7 percent in the previous 10 months. â€œThe market looks tired to us,â€? said Jim Russell, a regional investment director at US Bank. â€œA little bit of a pause is actually healthy,â€? allowing the economy time to catch up to the gains the stock market has made. After closing at an all-time high on three of the previous four trading days, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 32.43 points, or 0.2 percent, to 15,750.67. The S&P 500 index dropped 4.20 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,767.69 points. The Nasdaq composite edged up 0.13 point to 3,919.92. Six of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500

index fell. Banks and utilities slid the most. NRG Energy was one of the biggest decliners in the S&P 500, slipping 98 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $27.06. News Corp. fell 27 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $17.15. Energy stocks fell broadly. Pioneer Natural Resources, an oil exploration company, dropped $5.63, or 3 percent, to $182.70. Chevron lost $1.20, or 0.9 percent, to $120. Stocks have climbed this year as the Federal Reserve has maintained its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases to keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing and hiring. Now, investors may start focusing more on an improving economy rather than the future of the Fedâ€™s economic stimulus program.

RABAT, Morocco (AP) â€” A Saharan stand-off may become a U.S. problem. A nasty spat between Algeria and Morocco over the disputed region of Western Sahara has boiled over anew, as Morocco recalled its ambassador, angry protesters tore down an Algerian flag, and a Moroccan magazine called for land grabs. When Moroccoâ€™s King Mohammed VI meets with President Barack Obama during his visit to the U.S. next week, the monarch will be looking for greater U.S. support as Morocco feuds with regional rival Algeria. The neighbors are jockeying for position in

a dispute that leaves little space for the cooperation against al-Qaida in North Africa that Washington and its allies want. Last month, Morocco temporarily recalled its ambassador â€” a major escalation that one former Algerian diplomat called an attempt to gain U.S. backing for its claim to Western Sahara. â€œIt was surprising and disproportionate,â€? Abdelaziz Rahabi told The Associated Press, arguing the move was designed to dominate the scheduled visit of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry this week that has since been postponed. The U.S. priority in the region, however, has increas-

ingly focused on fighting terrorism, with al-Qaidaâ€™s North Africa branch morphing into a Sahara-spanning organization with an elusive presence from the borders of Morocco to Libya. With the two most powerful militaries in the region at each otherâ€™s throats, building any kind of regional cooperation â€” especially to support weaker states like Niger, Mauritania and Chad â€” has been impossible. Morocco has proposed wide-ranging autonomy for Western Sahara, but the Polisario Front, the pro-independence nationalist movement, insists that local people have the right to a referendum.
