Area preps for snow, big chill FROM STAFF REPORTS

AFD: Remove snow from fire hydrants The Auburn Fire Department is asking for residents’ help when shoveling driveways and sidewalks. The department is asking people to remove the snow from around the fire hydrant close to home or property. Clearing the snow around the hydrant and shoveling a path to it from the street will give the fire department the access it needs in the event of an emergency. At a fire, the fire department must quickly locate and gain a water supply source from the closest fire hydrant. If a fire hydrant is buried by snow, it is difficult to find and valuable time must be spent digging it out. Water is the main tool firefighters use to extinguish fires. Delays in locating and connecting to the fire hydrant could hamper fire suppression.

Don’t expect a break in the extreme winter weather conditions, the National Weather Service Northern Indiana is predicting. All of northeast Indiana was placed under a winter storm watch on Friday, as was most of Indiana, with the exception of the Chicago area. A storm packing upward of a foot of snow is expected to begin tonight, though northeast Indiana is expected to receive not any more than 7 inches of snow. “A significant winter storm will likely impact the region beginning as early as Saturday evening and persisting through at least Sunday evening,” the NWS watch said. “A cold front will move across the area Saturday night with light snow spreading from northwest to southeast. At this time light

accumulations are expected with this front. Greater concern lies with low pressure that will develop and rapidly deepen as it tracks from Arkansas Sunday morning to Ohio Sunday night.” Today is expected to bring more snow — maybe an inch accumulation throughout northeast Indiana — and wind gusts as high as 25 mph with partly sunny skies. Highs are expected in the 30-degree range. New snow accumulation to the tune of 4-7 inches is possible for Sunday with high temperatures around 24 degrees, with more blowing around of the white stuff on Monday. Snow is expected to taper off Monday and Tuesday, but severe cold temperatures will be ushered in. Highs and lows are forecast in the below zero range, with a low SEE CHILL, PAGE A6

Strong auto sales ending? DETROIT (AP) — Automakers are going to have to work a little harder for your business in 2014. After four years of strong sales increases — and few discounts — as the economy improved, U.S. demand for new cars and trucks is expected to slow this year. That could mean better deals for buyers as car companies fight to increase their share of the market. The industry got a taste of what’s to come in December, when General Motors, Toyota and Volkswagen all saw their sales fall from a year ago. One reason: Competitors like Ford and Honda increased their incentive spending on hot sellers like pickup trucks and midsize cars, according to TrueCar. com, which tracks car prices. Cold weather and strong sales over Black Friday in November also pinched December sales, automakers said. This year’s slowdown is inevitable, analysts say.

youth mentoring in the United States. Mentors bring great value to children who might not have other adult relationships in their lives, said Barb Bryan, director of the Links mentoring program at Cahoots Coffee Cafe in Angola. The coffee house is an outreach of the United Methodist Church and the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Angola and serves middle- and high-school students. “Pairing a child with a mentor has positive results,” Bryan said. “The focus is a supporting relationship with a child. We let the child guide our relationships.” Bryan said the Links mentoring program is fairly new, but so far has made about 10 matches. She encourages anyone interested in serving as a mentor to contact the cafe at 624-2399. Rayle said being a HOPE

It’s overwhelming to think about doing that on a large scale, but doing it for one person is really manageable,” Rayle said. Rayle said she was drawn to the HOPE program after learning about it from her husband, Terry, who also was a mentor. “I thought it was a really worthwhile thing to do,” Mary Ellen Rayle said. “I have a passion for kids, so it was a good fit for me.” The match was a good fit not only for Rayle, but also for Barrington.

Plea agreement falls apart in meth case Auburn man accused of two felony offenses BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

the 2400 block of C.R. 50, Auburn, decided Friday not to plead guilty to two counts of dealing meth, a Class A felony. He allegedly dealt meth on two occasions in Kendallville in 2012. The case was set for a jury trial June 24-25. The date

would be after the one-year mark from Becker’s March 6, 2013, arrest that Noble County’s rules normally require, but he waived the time limit and agreed to the trial date Friday. A final pretrial conference in the case was set for

Common Core: too much government My TV producers asked our Facebook audience to vote for a topic they’d most like to hear discussed on my year-end show. The overwhelming winner, for some reason: the education standards program Common Core. Most Americans don’t even know what that is. But they should. It’s the government’s plan to try to bring “the same standard” to every government-run school. This may sound good. Often, states dumb down tests to try to “leave no child behind.” How can government evaluate teachers and reward successful schools if there isn’t a single national standard? But when the federal government imposes a single teaching plan on 15,000 school districts across the that’s even more central JOHN country, planning, and central planning rarely It brings stagnation. STOSSEL works. Education is a discovery process like any other human endeavor. We might be wrong about both how to teach and what to teach, but we won’t realize it unless we can experiment — compare and contrast the results of different approaches. Having “one plan” makes it harder to experiment and figure out what works. Promoters of Common Some people are terrified to hear Core say, “Don’t “education” and worry, Common Core “experiment” in the same sentence. is voluntary.” This is Why take a risk technically true, but with something as important as my child’s states that reject it lose education? Pick the big federal money. best education methods and teach everyone that way! But we don’t know what the best way to educate kids is. As American education has become more centralized, the rest of our lives have become increasingly diverse and tailored to individual needs. Every minute, thousands of entrepreneurs struggle to improve their products. Quality increases, and costs often drop. But centrally planned K-12 education doesn’t improve. Per-student spending has tripled (governments now routinely spend $300,000 per classroom!), but test results are stagnant. “Everyone who has children knows that they’re all different, right? They learn differently,” observed Sabrina Schaeffer of the Independent Women’s Forum on my show. “In the workplace, we’re allowing people flexibility to telecommute, to have shared jobs. In entertainment, people buy and watch what they want, when they want.” Having one inflexible model for education “is so old-fashioned.” No Child Left Behind programs were an understandable reaction to atrocious literacy and graduation rates — but since school funding was pegged to students’ performance on federally approved tests, classroom instruction became largely about drilling for those tests and getting the right answers, even if kids did little to develop broader reasoning skills. So along comes Common Core to attempt to fix the problem — and create new ones. Common Core de-emphasizes correct answers by awarding kids points for reasoning, even when they don’t quite get there. A video went viral online that showed a worried mom, Karen Lamoreaux — a member of the group Arkansas Against Common Core — complaining to the Arkansas Board of Education about complicatedly worded math problems meant for fourth-graders. She read to the Board this question: “Mr. Yamato’s class has 18 students. If the class counts around by a number and ends with 90, what number did they count by?” Huh? But I could be wrong. Maybe this is a clever new way to teach math, and maybe Lamoreaux worries too much. Unfortunately, though, if Lamoreaux is right, and the federal government is wrong, government still gets to decree its universal solution to this problem. Promoters of Common Core say, “Don’t worry, Common Core is voluntary.” This is technically true, but states that reject it lose big federal money. That’s Big Government’s version of “voluntary.” Common Core, like public school, public housing, the U.S. Postal Service, the Transportation Security Administration, etc., are all one-size-fits-all government monopolies. For consumers, this is not a good thing. With the future riding on young people consuming better forms of education, I’d rather leave parents and children (and educators) multiple choices. Despite Common Core, Schaeffer pointed out that this year did bring some victories for educational freedom. “We saw new education tax credit programs and expansion of tax credit programs in numerous states – Alabama, Indiana, Iowa and others. Education Savings Accounts expanded in other states; voucher programs expanded.” This is good news. Vouchers, Education Savings Accounts and tax credits create competition and choice.

Day not too bad for an Indiana girl With apples in my backpack and my camera case slung over my shoulder I step down into the boat on this cold morning. The other passengers are much more equipped for the day than am I. They carry binoculars and telescopes and wear rubber boots for tramping over the beaches and through the marshes. I pull my hood up and wrap my scarf around my face as we leave the dock and take off across the sound. It is a cold wind that blows as we travel the short distance. Our destination today is Portsmouth Island to participate in the Christmas bird count. Our leader, Peter Vankevich, is a born birder and reminds me of Fred Wooley in many ways. Peter is the organizer of our group of birders and spends days ahead of time sending out emails and getting everyone excited about the Christmas bird count. On this cold morning while he is handing out lists of birds and assignments, vegetarian chili simmers in the crock pot home in his cottage. Peter has newly relocated to Ocracoke from Washington D.C. where he wrote a column, “Spotted on the Hill” (as in Capitol Hill!), so he knows what he is talking about. My enthusiasm is great even though I am a northern bird girl. I know my woodland birds, winter and summer, thanks to Aaron and Fred. Peter doesn’t seem to mind my lack of birding skills. He knows I have spent a good deal of time here so I must be able to identify some of the birds! This is my second bird count on Portsmouth and I am all about the field trip. Portsmouth Island is a ghost

town. It was founded in 1753 when it was established by the North Carolina Assembly. The purpose of the founding was to facilitate trade through the Outer Banks. Portsmouth was a thriving port for ships and commerce but began its decline during the Civil War. By 1971 the last two remaining folks moved to the mainland. Portsmouth is now on the National Register of Historic Places, and LOU ANN owned by Cape Lookout National Seashore. The boat arrives, and HOMANwe all gather for our SAYLOR instructions. Peter gives me a vague assignment since I just want to spend the day exploring. However, one never knows when a bird might fly by! The naturalist, Dave Frum, is working on the island and opens all the buildings for the birders and other history seekers. One by one I open the doors of these historic buildings and imagine life on this island a hundred years ago. The school is equipped with desks and tablets so I take a seat. The desk of Miss Dixon, the teacher for 37 years, is enclosed in glass with the tools of her trade upon it… ink pen, maps, old books. The United States Life Saving Station is open and I climb to the top of the lookout tower imagining watching for ships in the night. Philip’s grandfather’s

name is etched down below on the lists of the men who risked their lives to save those out to sea. The boat and rescue equipment is ready and waiting as if they could be put to use tomorrow. By late afternoon it is time to head back to the mainland and get ready for the chili supper at Peter’s. The ride back is talk of the birds and the appearance of the snowy owl which has been sighted on Ocracoke. Several of us take the pickup truck out to Southpoint where we find, after a short search, the snowy owl. We are excited to see this bird, although we know the prognosis for its return to the Tundra is not good. We gather at Peter’s for chili and for the annual count. It takes hours to go over every bird on the list…first on Portsmouth and then on Ocracoke. Bird by bird, area by area, we count. When we get to the blue heron there are no sightings. “Wait,” I say, “I saw one.” They are impressed and my sighting is recorded. There is more conversation about the snowy owl and then it is on to key lime pie. It was a good day, I say, as I leave Peter’s. It was a day spent deep in history on a ghost island out to sea, great chili and conversation with birders from all over the state and I did indeed see a blue heron. I would say overall, not bad for an Indiana girl! LOU ANN HOMAN-SAYLOR lives in Angola at the White Picket Gardens. She is a storyteller, teacher, writer, actress and a collector of front porch stories.

What Others Say • Texting law ineffective Indiana legislators passed a law in 2010, aimed at cutting back on the number of motorists texting while driving. It hasn’t worked. Two years after that law went into effect, we reported in July, Kokomo police officers had written just five citations — three in all of 2012 and two in the first six months of 2013. The problem, they say, is the law is nearly impossible to enforce. While the law bars drivers from typing, transmitting or reading texts and emails while their vehicles are in motion, the law also states officers

can’t confiscate phones or other mobile devices to determine whether a person was breaking the law. That means police would have to subpoena phone records to issue a citation, they say, and the only time they’re likely to do that is in the event of a wreck. A survey by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that about 2 out of 10 drivers say they’ve sent text messages or emails from the driver’s seat. Thirty-four percent of 18- to 20-year-olds reported sending text messages while driving in 2011, as did 27

percent of adults. Part of the problem is many drivers don’t think the practice is dangerous, at least when they do it. Seventyseven percent of young adults reported that sending text messages had little effect on their driving. Some drivers in the survey admitted that wasn’t true, as they should. Twenty-three percent of all auto accidents in 2011 involved a cellphone. Advocacy groups have launched campaigns trying to raise awareness of the danger, pointing out that at highway speeds a vehicle can travel the length of a football field in

only an instant. What will really get drivers’ attention, though, is the threat of a fine. The Associated Press reported law enforcement agencies in New York and Connecticut had brought about significant reductions in distracted driving simply by handing out more tickets. That’s what needs to happen in Indiana. Lawmakers have acknowledged the danger by making texting while driving illegal. Now, in this year’s session, they need to add provisions that will make the ban enforceable. Kokomo Tribune

Skimpy health law plans leave some ‘underinsured’ WASHINGTON (AP) — For working people making modest wages and struggling with high medical bills from chronic disease, President Barack Obama’s health care plan sounds like long-awaited relief. But the promise could go unfulfilled. It’s true that patients with cancer and difficult conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Crohn’s disease will be able to get insurance and financial help with monthly premiums. But their annual out-ofpocket costs could still be so high they’ll have trouble staying out of debt. You couldn’t call them uninsured any longer. You might say they’re “underinsured.” These gaps “need to be addressed in order to fulfill the intention of the Affordable Care Act,” said Brian Rosen, a senior vice president of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “There are certainly challenges for cancer patients.” “Cost may still be an issue for those in need of the most care,” said Steven Weiss, spokesman for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. That “makes it critically important for patients looking at premiums to also consider out-of-pocket costs when choosing a plan.” Out-of-pocket costs include a health plan’s

Conservative radio host Bob Grant dies NEW YORK (AP) — Longtime conservative radio host Bob Grant, whose combative style became the template for broadcasters such as Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, has died at Grant age 84. Grant’s death on Tuesday in Hillsborough, N.J., after a short illness was confirmed on Thursday by New York radio station WABC, which once fired him over his acid-tongued remarks about the plane crash death of one of President Bill Clinton’s cabinet members, the first black commerce secretary. “Remember this: If you are offended during the next two hours, it’s nobody’s fault but mine,” Grant said at the top of a broadcast featured in a 2010 tribute. “Because somebody’s got

to say these things. It has to be me.” Grant was born Robert Ciro Gigante in Chicago in 1929. He began his broadcasting career in the 1940s at WBBM in Chicago. He moved on to radio and television jobs in Los Angeles and was named afternoon drive time host at WABC in 1984. Over the years, Grant, who was white, offended some listeners by referring to former New York Mayor David Dinkins, who’s black, as a “washroom attendant,” calling Clinton a “sleazebag” and suggesting women on welfare should be sterilized. He once said of blacks: “I can’t take these screaming savages, whether they’re in the African Methodist Church, the A.M.E. church, or whether they’re in the streets, burning, robbing, looting.” And, in a May 1993 broadcast, he lambasted Martin Luther King Jr. as “that slimeball” and “this bum, this womanizer, this liar, this fake, this phony.”

into an unfulfilled promise. Chronically ill people are likely to be underinsured and face extremely high out-of-pocket costs, says Pearson, who tracks the health care overhaul for Avalere Health, a market research and consulting firm. While the subsidies help, there still may be access problems for some populations.

jobs pay. Under the health care law, that person’s premiums would be capped below 7 percent of his income, about $130 a month. A stretch on a tight budget, yet doable. But if he gets really sick or has an accident, his out-of-pocket expenses could go as high as $5,200

a year in a worst-case scenario. That’s even with additional financial subsidies that the law provides people with modest incomes and high out-of-pocket costs. The $5,200 would be more than 20 percent of the person’s income, well above a common threshold for being underinsured.

Longtime Congressman Andy Jacobs remembered \INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Andy Jacobs Jr. drove a 1979 Oldsmobile Omega long after the disco era had ended and he once rejected a color television for his office, saying, “I know of no good reason to view Tip O’Neill in living color,” those who knew him recalled Friday. Family and friends, including many Indiana lawmakers who worked with or came up under Jacobs, remembered the longtime Democratic congressman for his integrity, humility and his frugality during at a memorial service in the Statehouse Rotunda. “God bless you, Andy Jacobs. Your principled leadership and personal kindness, your service to the public of Indiana and America every day will be missed,” Gov. Mike Pence said of Jacobs, who died last week at age 81. Before the service, mourners filed past the flag-draped casket of the former Marine, who had fought in the Korean War. Jacobs represented Indianapolis in Congress from 1965-73 and again from 1975-97. The

Democratic lawmaker had a hand in crafting the 1965 Voting Rights Act and opposed the Vietnam War. With his third wife, Kim Jacobs, seated in the front row, the couple’s two sons, Steven and Andy Jacobs, regaled well-wishers with stories of their father’s frugality at home. Former congressional staffers, meanwhile, talked about how he brought his penny-pinching ways to Capitol Hill. Jacobs turned down many congressional pay raises, and Pence recalled the time when Jacobs rejected the color television for his Capitol office. Andy Jacobs spoke of his father picking him and his brother up from school in the old 1979 Oldsmobile Omega he drove around. “My brother and I are probably among the few members of our generation who understand this gesture,” he said, motioning to roll down the window. He noted that his father kept a hedge trimmer in the back of the car, and whenever he’d see a sign obscured by branches, he would stop to trim them.

through the recession have now bought new ones. Those who haven’t may not be in any rush, because cars are lasting longer than ever before. And unless there’s a strong uptick in the economy, families aren’t likely to buy a third car. Alec Gutierrez, senior analyst for Kelley Blue Book, expects U.S. sales to increase by around 700,000 to 16.3 million in 2014. That compares to increases of more than 1 million each year since 2009, when U.S. sales bottomed out at 10.4 million. “Sales are approaching an equilibrium level of demand based on the needs of population and the number of licensed drivers in the country,” he said. So 2013 could be remembered as the last of the boom years. As automakers reported full year sales Friday, analysts were expecting an increase of more than 1.2 million — or 8 percent — to around 15.6 million. It would be the best

performance since 2007, when 16.1 million new cars and trucks were sold. Ford led all major automakers in 2013 with an 11 percent gain to almost 2.5 million vehicles. Chrysler and Nissan posted 9 percent gains. GM, Toyota and Honda each posted 7 percent gains. GM sold 2.8 million cars and trucks in the U.S., compared to just over 2.2 million for Toyota. Hyundai’s sales rose 2.5 percent. Among major automakers, only Volkswagen struggled, with sales falling 7 percent as its vehicles aged compared with rivals. Gutierrez said Honda offered $3,000 in bonus cash to dealers in December for every vehicle they sold beyond their 2012 numbers. And Ford said it spent $600 more per vehicle on incentives in December, likely taking aim at GM’s new pickup trucks. Those are the kinds of tricks buyers can expect to see more of this year. “We think there’s going

to definitely be more competition,” said Larry Dominique, president of Automotive Lease Guide, a company that tracks lease costs and car prices. On a conference call to discuss December results, General Motors executives made several references to competitors raising discounts to boost sales, especially on full-size pickup trucks. While they pledged to stick to their strategy of selling on value rather than price, U.S. sales chief Kurt McNeil said GM also has to respond to the market. Industrywide inventory is rising, and that could also increase discounts because carmakers will have to sell off excess vehicles. But McNeil said prices likely won’t come down too much because the underlying economy is strong. Also, carmakers closed plants and got leaner during the recession, so the country is no longer seeing the kind of overproduction it saw a decade ago.

free of cost to the patient. Churches and other houses of worship are exempt from the birth control requirement, but affiliated institutions that serve the general public are not. That includes charitable organizations, universities and hospitals. In response to an outcry, the government came up with a compromise that requires insurers or health plan administrators to provide birth control coverage but allows the religious group to distance itself from that action. The exemption is triggered when the religious group signs a form for the insurer saying that it objects to the coverage. The insurer can then go forward with the coverage. A group of Denver nuns who run nursing homes for the poor, called the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged, say signing that form makes them complicit in providing contraceptive coverage.

her qualities and especially that she is a kind person. The couple read books together, work on spelling words and play games. “It’s been really exciting to see how much she’s learned,” Rayle said. “She’s shown great progress in reading and number recognition.” LEAP of Noble County also welcomes volunteer mentors to serve as tutors. LEAP offers GED classes, English as a New Language classes for adults, tutoring for all ages in all parts of Noble County, and a beforeand after-school program

with the West Noble School Corporation. Volunteers determine how much time they commit to the program, said LEAP’s volunteer coordinator Gabriela Ruvalcaba. “It’s nice to have people from outside to help. They can see what LEAP is about and share that with the rest of the community,” said Ruvalcaba. Volunteers are invited to share information about any special skills they might have, Ruvalcaba said, “to make sure we have the right people at the right spots.” “We are a non-profit organization so having

volunteers reduces the cost of some of the programs, which we can use on something else,” Ruvalcaba said. Rayle said there is a need for more mentors, and anyone considering the role should not be afraid to step up. “It’s really not a tutoring program. It’s mentoring — to be an encourager and give a kid some one-on-one time. Almost anybody could do it. To carve out one hour, once a week for something that I think has long-lasting impact on a person’s life, it’s worth making the effort to do it.”

West Noble 63, Eastside 43

West Noble’s Phil Miller, left, keeps tabs on Eastside’s Kadis Renier during Friday’s Northeast Corner Conference basketball game at Ligonier. Miller had 24 points to lead the Chargers to a 63-43 win.

LIGONIER — The West Noble Chargers have done a lot of things right to be 6-0 as the basketball season moves into January. Hitting the panic button in a tight game isn’t one of them. The Chargers found themselves trailing 25-24 at halftime to visiting Eastside Friday. West Noble responded by running off the first 11 points of the third quarter, and didn’t look back for a 63-43 Northeast Corner Conference win. Seniors Phil Miller, Drew Schermerhorn and Brandon Evans led the surge. Miller, who led all scorers with 24 points, hit a three from the right corner. Schermerhorn, who finished with 16, opened the third with a three-point play and added a trey to cap the run. Evans had two free throws and finished with 13. “We’ve had a couple of weeks off; the days leading up to break were kind of strange, and break was a little longer than usual,” West Noble coach Jim Best said. “We didn’t have any games over break, and it’s almost like beginning practice all over again. “I can’t say I was really shocked at the way we came out

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Jameis Winston whispered and giggled with teammate Kenny Shaw on the dais as two Florida State coaches answered questions, many about him. The Heisman Trophy winner and his star receiver looked at times like a couple of kids trying not to laugh in the library. When the questions were directed to Winston, he was his usual gregarious self, humbly deflecting credit on one hand, supremely self-confident on the other. In the second interview session Friday, the Heisman Trophy winner had a platform all to himself and the biggest crowd of reporters around him. There is no doubt Famous

ATLANTA (AP) — Andre Iguodala was delighted to help Golden State sneak out of Atlanta with a last-second victory over the Hawks on Friday night. Iguodala hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer, David Lee scored 23 points and the Warriors won their eighth straight game with a 101-100 victory over the Hawks. “Every part of that play worked because everybody ran like they were going to get the ball,” Iguodala said. “The defense had to stay honest and pick their poison.” Stephen Curry added 22 points with nine assists and Klay Thompson had 21 points for Golden State, which recovered from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter to get back in the game and extend its road winning streak to five straight. Pero Antic finished with a career-high 16 points and Shelvin Mack had 15 for the Hawks. Atlanta had won three of four and

Sharp carries Hawks to victory NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Patrick Sharp scored three goals and the Chicago Blackhawks avoided a rare second straight loss with a 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Friday night. Sharp, Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa scored in a span of 4:04 early in the third period to give the Blackhawks a 4-1 lead. Sharp added his 25th of the season and capped his hat trick with less than 2 minutes to play after New Jersey had pulled to 4-3. Duncan Keith had three assists and fellow defenseman Brent Seabrook two in the four-goal third period against Martin Brodeur. Antti Raanta made 24 saves for Chicago. Marek Zidlicky scored twice and fellow defenseman Andy Greene once for New Jersey, which lost in regulation for only the second time in nine games (5-2-2). Both defeats have come against the defending Stanley Cup champions, who lost in overtime to the Islanders on Thursday. Chicago is 11-1-3 against Eastern Conference opponents. Kane broke a 1-all tie with a great effort and some luck 90 seconds into the third period. Skating down the right boards after taking a pass from Seabrook, Kane centered a pass toward Brandon Saad in front of the net. The puck deflected off Zidlicky’s stake and past Brodeur for his 24th goal. Sharp, who opened the scoring, connected 74 seconds later with a great

shot from low in the left circle that beat Brodeur over the shoulder. Seabrook set it up with a cross-ice pass from the right point. Hossa capped the outburst with a shot from between the circles over Brodeur’s shoulder after taking a pass from Jonathan Toews, who also had two assists. That gave Chicago a 4-1 lead, but the Devils didn’t quit.

Zidlicky made the game close again by scoring twice in a little more than 6 minutes, with the second coming on a power play with just over 6 minutes to play. In their Dec. 23 meeting, the Blackhawks outshot the Devils 37-12 in a 5-2 win. It was a totally different game this time. It was competitive for two periods,

tight game. The first-half pace — having good possessions and getting good shots — was to Eastside’s liking, Blazer coach Ryan Abbott said. “We wanted a possession by possession game, and we did an exceptional job in the first half of limiting their transition,” he said. “The third quarter, they got a couple of middle drives and they hit some tough shots too. “(Miller’s) a tough guard at 6-6,” Abbott said. “He can handle it, and when you can shoot it really well, that’s tough to guard, especially when you have to worry about Schermerhorn and Evans.” Schermerhorn’s three with 5:26 left in the third gave the Chargers a 35-25 lead. Just as they did to finish

the first half, the Blazers had a little run late in the third, with two buckets in the lane by P.J. Dean and a three-ball by Ethan Moughler to pull within 43-39. Schermerhorn’s slash and score ended the third. Early in the fourth, Kyler Warble hit a baseline jumper, and Miller had a three-point play to push the margin back to 10 at 50-40. Eastside scored only four points in the final frame. Threes by Evans and Miller and a rebound score by Brandon Moser staked West Noble to an early 8-2 lead, but Eastside took its first lead on Ryan Liechty’s score inside late in the quarter. In the second, Evans dialed long distance again for a 24-20 lead, but Eastside got a free throw from Kadis Renier, a rebound basket by Dean and a steal and score by Dean in

the final 1:30 of the half to lead 25-24 at the break. Dean led Eastside (4-4 overall, 1-2 in the NECC) with 17 points. Moughler had 11 points and Liechty finished with nine. The Chargers were 20-of-38 (53 percent) from the field, including 9-of-19 (47 percent) from beyond the arc. The Blazers were 18-of-49 (37 percent) from the field and 3-of-16 (19 percent) from three-point range. West Noble visits Prairie Heights tonight. Eastside is idle until next Saturday when it travels to Fairfield. Eastside JV 37, West Noble 24 Tyler Beard had 13 points and Landen Brow added 11 to pace Eastside. Josh Barba had seven points and Zayne Swartz added six for West Noble.

WINSTON: Teammates big help to the quarterback FROM PAGE B1

and he had them giddy after a spectacular spring game performance. Around the country, most college football fans found out about Winston on Labor Day night, when in his start he completed 25 of 27 passes for 356 yards in a victory at Pittsburgh. “Honestly, I wasn’t really surprised,” quarterbacks coach Randy Sanders said. “I was a little bit in awe, I think, like a lot of people, just the poise and composure that he had. You saw it every day in spring practice, through the summer, through the fall. But for it to show up on game day that way, that was nice to see.” Winston went on to break freshman records for yards passing (3,820) and touchdown passes (38) as Florida State crushed opponent after opponent. He sees no reason that has to stop against Auburn. “Where in the rulebook does it say we can’t blow

out every team we play?” Winston said. “Because it’s a championship game? We can do anything we want.” His problems this season came in November, when a year-old sexual assault complaint against him became public and was passed along by Tallahassee police to the Florida state attorney’s office for a full investigation. A female Florida State student claims Winston raped her. Winston’s attorney has said the sex was consensual. Prosecutors did not find enough evidence to charge him with a crime and the case was closed two days before the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Winston credited his teammates for helping him to stay focused on football during the investigation and said, again, that he knew he had done nothing wrong. “Looking at the situation from the outside in, you would think it would hurt the team, but we used it as a

time to get stronger,” Shaw said. “We stayed close to Jameis because we knew the allegations wasn’t true and all that. But we just got stronger and we didn’t miss a beat.” A year in which character has been a much-covered talking point in college football — Johnny Manziel, Urban Meyer and Jadeveon Clowney have also been part of the discussion — has been capped by plenty of debate about whether Winston’s character was Heisman-worthy. “What people think outside of this and what people are trying to do, I can’t control none of that,” Winston said. “I just go out there and play football because I enjoy it and I love it and it’s my passion, and I’ve got these boys around me, and that’s what we love to do, go out there and play Florida State football.” He has one more chance to shine on the biggest stage yet.

WARRIORS: Iguodala beats Atlanta at the buzzer FROM PAGE B1

six of eight. Iguodala was inbounding the ball with 2.8 seconds left near the Hawks’ bench and had 6-foot-11 center Antic defending him when he passed the ball to Curry near the halfcourt line. Mack was guarding Curry

closely enough that Iguodala moved a few feet inside and was open when Antic moved up to help Mack close space on Curry. Iguodala took Curry’s bounce pass, squared up and hit the game-winner as Jeff Teague made a frantic attempt to disrupt the shot.

“We defended the initial action pretty well,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “Steph Curry demands a lot of attention. We got the ball out of his hands, and then they made a tough shot. It’s a credit to Iguodala, a credit to Curry for making the pass.”

and the best players on the ice were Brodeur and Raanta, who both stopped several good chances in close. After a scoreless opening period, Sharp gave the Blackhawks the lead. Toews set it up, taking the puck off Mark Fayne’s stick and finding Sharp between the circles at 1:34. It came seconds after Brodeur had stopped him in close. New Jersey needed 43 seconds to tie the game. Steve Bernier started a counterattack in the Devils’ zone with a pass to Stephen Gionta. He carried the puck into the Chicago end and lifted a pass to Greene, who slid the puck between Raanta’s pads. Penguins 5, Rangers 2 In Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby scored his 23rd goal of the season and added two assists as the Penguins ripped New York for their 11th straight home win. Marc-Andre Fleury made 33 saves for Pittsburgh and Jussi Jokinen ended a lengthy scoring drought with two goals. Chris Kunitz also scored twice for the Penguins, who won for the 10th time in their last 12 meetings with New York. Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma picked up his 231st career victory, leaving him one shy of Eddie Johnson’s franchise record for coaching wins. Henrik Lundqvist made 23 saves for the Rangers. Matt Zuccarello scored a pair of third-period goals for New York, but the Rangers continued to have problems with the Metropolitan Division-leading Penguins.

Pelicans prevail in Boston BOSTON (AP) — The New Orleans Pelicans’ players had to block out thoughts of a teammate’s scary fall while holding on against the Boston Celtics. Anthony Davis had 23 points and nine rebounds and Tyreke Evans scored 16 points with a key basket late to lead the Pelicans to a 95-92 win over the Celtics on Friday night. The win may prove costly for the Pelicans after reserve forward Ryan Anderson was taken from the court on a stretcher after he collided with Boston’s Gerald Wallace early in the fourth quarter. Both players went to the floor hard. Anderson had 13 points and seven boards before leaving. The Celtics said a preliminary diagnosis indicated a “cervical stinger.” He was taken to a local hospital to be evaluated. “I can’t really disclose that stuff,” Pelicans coach Monty Williams said when asked about Anderson. “We are just praying for his health. He looked like he was OK. I was more worried about his mother. I know she’s at home, a nervous wreck, so hopefully she hears this message and is cool with the fact that he’s OK and in good hands.” New Orleans won for the fourth time in six games, but had lost six of its last seven on the road. “We were praying for him, but at the same time we’ve got to win a game,” said Davis, who grabbed a pair of clutch rebounds. “It’s good that he’s OK. We’re praying for him.” Avery Bradley led Boston with 22 points. Jeff Green and Brandon Bass each scored 16. Jared Sullinger added 13 points and 11 rebounds. Green also had 11 boards. The Celtics, who missed 22 of 26 shots from the field in the final quarter, lost for the sixth time in seven games. “I thought we had really good looks for the most part, I really did,” Boston coach Brad Stevens said. “I thought we were much more aggressive and, for whatever reason, we didn’t make shots.”

In this Dec. 22, 2013, file photo, Denver Broncos’ Peyton Manning (18) waves to fans following an NFL football game against the Houston Texans in Houston. Manning threw his 51st touchdown pass of the season to set a new NFL record. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. It was his seventh time as a first-teamer, tying Hall of Famer Otto Graham for the most by a quarterback.

Broncos’ Manning lone unanimous All-Pro selection NEW YORK (AP) — Peyton Manning has responded to a lost season the way he reacted to all of his great seasons. By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. It was his seventh time as a first-teamer, tying Hall of Famer Otto Graham for the most by a quarterback. The Denver star set NFL records this season with 55 touchdown passes and 5,477 yards through the air. He was chosen on all 50 ballots from media members who regularly cover the NFL. Manning also was an All-Pro for Indianapolis in 2003, ‘04, ‘05, ‘08 and ‘09 and last season made it as a Bronco. He’s been on the All-Pro team in both seasons since missing 2011 after several neck surgeries. “I think it’s well documented that this is the second chapter of my career, and didn’t know what to expect off that injury and new team, new players and new physical state after an injury,” said Manning, a four-time league MVP who never missed a pro start before 2011. “So I had no idea what to expect, and I’ve put a lot of time and a lot of hard work in to it. But I’ve received a lot of help along the way from coaches and trainers and strength coaches and teammates. So I’m very

grateful.” Manning still has a ways to go to set the record for most All-Pro appearances at any position. Among the players ahead of him is Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice with 10. New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham and Indianapolis outside linebacker Robert Mathis each drew 49 votes. Philadelphia running back LeSean McCoy and Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman had 48. Minnesota kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson was the only rookie on the squad. Eighteen NFC players and nine from the AFC made the team. Carolina and Philadelphia each had three: linebacker Luke Kuechly, center Ryan Kalil and fullback Mike Tolbert for the Panthers; NFL rushing leader McCoy, guard Evan Mathis and tackle Jason Peters for the coach Chip Kelly’s Eagles. “Just when Chip came here, we knew we were going to run the ball,” McCoy said. “The linemen, they’ve all been healthy this whole year. They’ve been blocking so well for me and without those guys, it’s not possible.” Only two members of the top teams in each conference made the All-Pro team. Joining Manning from the Broncos (13-3) was guard Louis Vasquez. Joining Sherman from the Seahawks (13-3) was safety Earl Thomas.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Colts, Packers, Bengals avoid TV blackouts for playoff games BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

There will be no local television blackouts in the NFL this weekend. The Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers said Friday that their weekend wild-card playoff games are sellouts. Normally, teams must sell out 72 hours before kickoff to have a game broadcast in their local market. The NFL gave the Colts, Bengals and Packers an extra day to do it. The Colts host Kansas City today. On Sunday, the Packers host San Francisco and the Bengals host San Diego. In each case, corporations stepped up to buy big blocks of the remaining tickets, including retailer Meijer in Indy, Associated Bank in Green Bay and P&G in Cincinnati. Many will be distributed to military families and veterans.

Titans make no moves after president meets with coach NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Titans president and CEO Tommy Smith had not made any decisions Friday night after reviewing every part of the team with coach Mike Munchak and his general manager. Smith said in a statement that he planned all along to review every aspect of the team’s football operations when the season ended and did just that in his meeting with Munchak and Ruston Webster. “We had good discussions, but no final decisions were made,” Smith said. Munchak and Webster flew to Texas on Friday morning and met all day with Smith before returning late in the afternoon. Munchak’s truck was moved onto the tarmac at the Nashville airport, and he eluded reporters by driving out a different gate. The Tennessean cited sources Friday that Smith had decided to keep Munchak as his coach for 2014. Munchak, who has a season left on his contract, is 22-26 since being hired Feb. 7, 2011. His only winning season came in 2011 at 9-7, slumping to 6-10 in 2012. Owner Bud Adams spent more than $100 million in the offseason on 13 new free agents, but the Titans went 7-9 for 2013 with quarterback Jake Locker missing 14 of 32 starts to injuries.

AG experts to highlight Fort Wayne Farm Show â€˜Apps for Ag and Big Data Issuesâ€™ seminar set for Jan. 16 at Coliseum BY DOUG LEDUC dleduc@kpcmedia.com

A national authority from northeast Indiana on agricultural data use and farmer intellectual-property issues will explain during the 2014 Fort Wayne Farm Show how â€œaginformaticsâ€? will reshape the industry. The â€œApps for Ag and Big Data Issuesâ€? seminar will take place at 3:30 p.m. Jan. 16, with Kevin Smith discussing agricultural app development for smartphones and tablets and Matt Bechdol discussing the â€œbig dataâ€? revolution coming to agriculture. It will be among the hot topics covered in educational presentations at the free show, which will run Jan. 14-16 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Expo Center in Fort Wayne. Most of its education sessions will be presented by Purdue Universityâ€™s Cooperative Extension Service and northeast Indiana soil and water conservation districts. Smith is a Purdue

communications consultant and editor who helped convert the universityâ€™s corn and soybean field guide into an iPad app. Bechdol farms and is president and founder of GeoSilos, an AuburnSmth based consulting firm, which helps agricultural businesses and organizations work on â€œbig dataâ€? projects. He started the company after working at NASA as a precision farming consultant, then for ERSI, a leading provider of geographic informations systems products and services. Two days before his Fort Wayne Farm Show presentation, Bechdol is scheduled to speak to farmers across the country on the same â€œaginformaticsâ€? subject at the American Farm Bureauâ€™s annual convention in San Antonio.

Soybean prices expect to remain at high levels CHAMPAIGN, Ill. â€” Chinaâ€™s strong demand for soybeans will keep stocks tight and prices at generally high levels, according to reports. China is projected to import 2.5 billion bushels of soybeans this year, representing two-thirds of the soybeans traded and 24 percent of the soybeans produced worldwide. â€œThe deciding factor on exports has been China. Even with large South American crops and large U.S. crops, weâ€™re not seeing a buildup in soybean inventory due to the demand from China,â€? said Darrel Good, University of Illinois Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics professor emeritus. â€œWe have seen soybean exports maintained at very large levels. â€œThe decline last year was basically because we ran out of soybeans. We didnâ€™t have many more soybeans available for export than what we shipped,â€? he said. Soybean sales have been moving at rapid pace as 96 percent of the projected exports have been sold with 35 weeks still remaining in the marketing year. China has accounted for about 93 million bushels of U.S.

â€œWhatâ€™s going on now is the beginnings of the next disruptive revolution in agriculture,â€? he said. â€œWeâ€™re now entering this â€˜aginformaticsâ€™ revolution where everything Bechdol we do is going to be data driven.â€? The revolution started with the development of farm equipment such as planters and sprayers capable of using satellite navigation to vary seeds and inputs on sections of a field, and yield monitors with satellite navigation to measure the results. More production-related agricultural data has been collected as the types of sensors and uses for the data have multiplied and as the technology for collecting and using it has improved. Most of the production-related data that have

been collected on the farm have been used on the farm. But researchers have been developing new ways to analyze massive amounts of data and arrive at important findings they otherwise would have missed. And agricultural researchers are discovering â€œas that data is collected on the field, it can be aggregated further and further,â€? Bechdol said. â€œUltimately, this is about turning data into decisions and data into dollars.â€? Crop producers in the future, for example, might be able to benchmark themselves anonymously against other farmers growing the same crops under almost identical conditions to see how they are doing, he said. â€œData on the farm has been an underutilized asset,â€? Bechdol said. â€œWith these new technologies that have come has come the realization on the producerâ€™s part that this data is useful not just to me but to my partner and trusted

40,000 expected to attend annual show The â€œApps for Ag and Big Data Issuesâ€? seminar will be among more than a dozen educational presentations scheduled for this yearâ€™s Fort Wayne Farm Show on topics that will range from water rights and crop insurance changes to the 2014 weather outlook and farm-to-fork specialty marketing. The annual farm show is among the coliseumâ€™s largest events. Last year, about 390 exhibitors used 950 booths to provide information about agricultural goods and services. The showâ€™s attendance has been as high as 40,000. advisers as well as people who may not like me as much. â€œData as a modern commodity â€Ś represents my farmâ€™s intellectual property. Itâ€™s how I do my business; itâ€™s my magic recipe,â€? he said. â€œWhen I share my data with you and youâ€™re going to turn it into a product for me, the question is, who are you going to share it with, who has access to it and what are they going to do once they have access to it? â€œItâ€™s murky as to what that ownership and control issue is. And that

has producers anxious,â€? Bechdol continued. â€œWith that comes some questions you need to be asking yourself and your partners. Weâ€™re just at the precipice of this revolution. The â€˜aginformaticsâ€™ revolution is going to fundamentally change the way we go about measuring and monitoring and producing agricultural products.â€? Smith said agricultural apps for smartphones and tablets are gaining popularity because more and more farmers are finding a mobile platform convenient and easy to use.

Farm land values likely to level off in 2014, Purdue economist says

soybean export sales this year. Total U.S. soybean exports for the current year are projected at 1.475 billion bushels, up from 1.32 billion last year. â€œOn the surface, one would say either USDA has underestimated export demand or prices have to move higher to shut that off or China is going to cancel some of their purchases,â€? Good said at the Illinois Farm Economics Summit. â€œThe big issue in the soybean market right now is if the South American crop turns out to be as large as we think it is â€” and if the soybean prices go lower, will we see some cancellation of those U.S. purchases? â€œThe market seems to think that is the case at this point and foresees cancellation of sales as we move forward.â€? One factor that has changed in the soybean market the last couple of years has been the increased production of biodiesel. â€œThereâ€™s been a fairly sizeable increase in the use of soybean oil for biodiesel. It is expected to go up again in 2014, but that projection is questionable now because of the EPA proposal to scale back the mandate,â€? Good said.

Erica Quinlan, editor from AgriNews newspaper, reported on Dr. Chris Hurtâ€™s agricultural outlook at the Indiana-Illinois Farm and Outdoor Power Equipment Show. This year, his report focused on the potential changes in agriculture in 2014. Hurt, Purdue Extension agricultural economist, said that 2014 is a turning point for ELYSIA land values. Among the RODGERS factors that will affect land values are interest rates, tightening margins and commodity prices, he said. â€œThe expectation is that interest rates will go higher, and that would tend to lower land values,â€? the economist said. â€œIf you run these numbers through a model, Iâ€™d say weâ€™ll see 15 to 25 percent lower prices on land over the next three to five years, if these kinds of conditions prevail.â€? While it is likely that land values will go down, it is not likely that it will happen overnight, he said. For the past three years land values have shot up 70 percent.

Interest rates, tightening margins and commodity prices are some of the factors that will affect farm land values in Indiana and across the nation in

This type of growth will stabilize over the next few years. Hurt expects the first thing to happen will be for the rate of increase to level off. â€œThatâ€™s where we think 2014 is at,â€? he said. â€œItâ€™s a year where people are really rethinking. They are saying, â€˜Is corn going to stay $4.50 (per bushel)?â€™â€? If corn prices stay low, Hurt said, land prices will drop. However if corn prices go up to $5, land values can be maintained. Because of the many variables, landowners will not be quick to make drastic changes. â€œRight now, we have plenty of people that are willing to buy at good, solid bids,â€? Hurt said.

2014. While it is likely that land values will go down, it is not likely that it will happen overnight, according to a Purdue economist.

â€œI think 2014 will level off and then, in 2015 and 2016, if weâ€™re $4.50 or lower on corn, $11 or lower on beans, land values will come down. â€œThis is a transition year. Weâ€™re getting to, what the markets are telling us are, some new realities. Realities of moderation, not of collapse, but moderation. Causing us to drive our costs lower.â€? He said that cash rent probably will follow suit with land value. â€œAs we look at those, weâ€™re taking $50, $60, $70 lower returns or more for cash-rent tenants,â€? he said. â€œBut when they go to negotiate lower cash rents, landlords are going to pull and say, â€˜No, Iâ€™ll rent it to

somebody else.â€™â€? Because landlords have been in a strong financial situation over the past few years, they likely will hold to current prices. But if corn prices donâ€™t go up, Hurt said, moderation in cash-rent prices will have to take place. â€œA year from now, we will back here and be able to say if we are going to go to that 15 to 25 percent (decrease in land values) or have things changed enough that we can hold steady,â€? he said. ELYSIA RODGERS is the agriculture and natural resources director for the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in DeKalb County.

INDIANAPOLIS â€“ Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann announced that 37 teams from 17 Indiana colleges and universities will be competing in a competition to tell the story of the â€œGood Works of Indiana Agricultureâ€? sponsored by the Lt. Governorâ€™s Office and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. â€œI am pleased to see the tremendous interest of students and universities in this competition, and I am looking forward to seeing the creative plans to communicate the value of agriculture to Indianaâ€™s economy and to all Hoosiers,â€? Ellspermann said. Ellspermann and a committee of agriculture leaders developed this

competition to address the lack of knowledge and appreciation among the increasingly urban population of Indiana. She also observed, â€œI am increasingly concerned about Hoosiersâ€™ appreciation and knowledge of the agriculture industry as only 2 percent of Hoosiers live on a farm today. All Hoosiers should know the vital role that Indiana farmers and the agriculture industry play in our economy, as well as the sustainable, quality practices deployed to supply healthy food, feed, fuel and fiber to our state, nation and world.â€? To participate in the contest, a college or university was invited to establish a team(s) of students supervised by a faculty or

Guy struggling with girl looking like mom DEAR ABBY: I met a guy I think is perfect for me on a dating website. We have gone on several dates and they have been great. He respects my morals and even has some of his own, The problem: He says I am exactly what he has been looking for except for one thing. I look like his mother. He says he really likes me and would like to keep dating to see if he can get past this issue. I like him very much. Is there something I can do, short of plastic surgery? — DEAD RINGER IN ARIZONA DEAR DEAD RINGER: Before changing anything, you need to explore more closely what he’s saying. Ask to meet his mother, then judge for yourself how strong the resemblance is. It’s possible the similarity is less physical and more about your personality or mannerisms.

Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds are also good options. But the richest source of plant-based protein is the legume family: lentils, split peas, black-eyed peas. And beans: black, kidney, garbanzo, lima, navy, pinto, white and kidney. The soybean, another legume, is the source of tofu and tempeh, which are rich in protein. (Try to limit your daughter to two to four servings of soy per week.) I’ve put a table listing the amount of protein in several vegetarian foods on my website, AskDoctorK.com.

DEAR DOCTOR K: My teenage daughter has become a vegetarian. How can I make sure she gets enough protein? DEAR READER: You have less to worry about than you might think. When it comes to getting protein in your diet, there are many meat-free options. Our bodies need protein (made of amino acids) for the health of every cell, and particularly to build strong muscles, bones and skin. Some of these amino acids are called “essential.” Our bodies cannot make essential amino acids, so we must get them from foods. Meats have plenty of essential amino acids, but they also contain some unhealthy components, such as saturated (“bad”) fat. Vegetables, grains and nuts are lower in essential amino acids than meat-based proteins. But combining

McManus, director of the Department of Nutrition for Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital: • Add beans and whole grains to soups. • Throw beans and nuts in salads, pasta dishes and sauces. • Substitute tofu for meat in stir-fries. • Snack on whole-grain crackers with bean salsa or hummus. I had dinner several weeks ago with an old friend who had been a meat eater all his life. In fact, I called him a world-class carnivore. He had been on a meat-free diet for the past three months and told me he never felt better. His energy was better and his blood pressure was lower. DR.

Mideast talks turn into sniping Al-Qaida militants

take over Sunni strongholds in Iraq

JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s closed-door diplomacy to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians has burst into a public spat, with both sides trading blistering criticisms, Republican senators showing up in Jerusalem to argue Israel’s side, and Palestinian demonstrators protesting his visit. Kerry is on his 10th visit to the region to try to craft a peace treaty that would create a Palestinian state alongside Israel. He met for three hours on Friday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Later in the day, Kerry traveled to Ramallah, West Bank, to speak with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Although battered by sniping from all sides, Kerry remained upbeat — at least publicly. Asked if he was making progress, Kerry replied that progress is being made every day. Earlier, about 150 Palestinians demonstrators marched through the streets of downtown Ramallah to protest Kerry’s visit. They carried Palestinian flags and signs that said: “The northern, central and southern Jordan Valley are a genuine part of Palestinian sovereignty.” The West Bank’s Jordan Valley is

BAGHDAD (AP) — Two Iraqi cities that were strongholds of Sunni insurgents during the U.S. war in the country are battlegrounds once more after al-Qaida militants largely took them over, fending off government forces that have been besieging them for days. The overrunning of the cities this week by al-Qaida’s Iraqi branch in the Sunni heartland of western Anbar provinces is a blow to the Shiite-led government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Malik. AP His government has been city of Ramallah on Friday.

backed by Sunni tribesmen who oppose al-Qaida, have encircled Fallujah for several days, and have entered parts of the provincial capital Ramadi, also overrun by militants. On Friday, troops bombarded militant positions outside Fallujah with artillery, a military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to release information. Anbar province, a vast desert area on the borders with Syria and Jordan with an almost entirely Sunni population was the heartland of the Sunni insurgency that rose up against American troops and the Iraqi government after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. The insurgency was fueled by anger over the dislodgment of their community from power during Saddam’s rule and the rise of Shiites. It was then that al-Qaida established its branch in the country. Fallujah became notorious among Americans when insurgents in 2004 killed four American security contractors and hung their burned bodies from a bridge.
