ALBION — The Noble County Council Monday approved a resolution supporting a tax abatement that would bring jobs to Wawaka.

B & J Specialty sought a fi ve-year abatement on personal property taxes for equipment at its Albion facility, but was granted an eight-year abatement by the council instead.

B & J said the investment of approximately $1 million in new equipment would add fi ve to eight jobs to its Wawaka plant. It sought

a fi ve-year phase-in of property taxes on the equipment.

The council used a new matrix for calculating how long an abatement should last. The matrix, created by the Noble County Ecomomic Development Corp., was approved Sept. 3 for use by the council.

The matrix includes a cost-ben-efi t analysis for calculating how long an abatement should run. Monday was the fi rst time it was used by the County Council.

Only the resolution for the abatement could be approved Monday, because paperwork

didn’t include the exact cost of the new equipment, said Noble County Auditor Jackie Knafel. The council will vote on the actual abatement in November.

The council approved the resolution 5-1, with Councilman Wayne Clouse opposed.

Also Monday, the council:• approved 6-0 the county’s

proposed $21 million budget. The proposal includes $9.6 million for the county’s general fund, $3.4 million for highways, $645,000 for local roads and streets and $234,375 for the new Community Corrections program.

Also in the budget are $603,985 for adult probation, $162,800 for work crews for drainage, $584,490 for statewide E-911 and $118,078 for reassessment.

The proposed budget includes $931,134 in cuts made by the council from amounts requested by county offi cers.

The budget still must be approved by the state before it is offi cial.

• approved 6-0 an additional appropriation to upgrade Noble County Communications radio equipment.

The artwork was placed in front of his former offi ce by Amy Jo Wechter of Ligonier, a friend of Stone, as part of a contest hosted by the Future Ligonier Alliance.

KENDALLVILLE — A fugitive sought by the Kendallville Police Department said he had been sleeping behind the Kendallville City Hall, according to the bail-bondsman who arrested the man.

James Michael Miller, 39, of Kendallville was arrested without incident in Kendallville by bail-bondsman Les Alligood Friday, Alligood said.

Miller was booked into the Noble County Jail on a warrant for allegedly operating a vehicle after a lifetime suspension, a felony offense, according to jail records.

The fugitive said he had been sleeping in the alley behind the police station at night, Alligood said. No independent confi rmation of the statement was available.

Bond in Miller’s case had been revoked after he failed to appear

for a court hearing, the jail staff said. Noble Circuit Judge G. David Laur ordered Monday that Miller be held without bond.

Miller’s case drew media attention after the handler of a K-9 offi cer was

forced to shoot a dog belonging to Miller’s son Sept. 28.

The family dog attacked the K-9 offi cer and his partner during a search of the family residence in an effort to apprehend Miller. He had fl ed the residence in the 1000 block of Bellevue Drive at the time.

ALBION — The cost of health insurance is going up for Noble County government.

The Noble County Board of Commissioners voted Monday to approve a plan that will see a 17-percent increase to the fi xed cost of the county’s health insurance plan, but will give

employees only a slight increase in their premiums.

The largest increase will be for those on the county’s Health Savings Account plan, Noble County Auditor Jackie Knafel said. Those employees will pay $3.50 more per pay period.

The cost of the dental insurance plan will increase by 5 percent,

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd, spoke on the House fl oor Tuesday, calling for President Obama and Senate Democrats to come to the table and end the government shutdown.

“Mr. Speaker, back home Hoosiers know that we only solve problems by sitting down and talking,” said Stutzman, a Republican from Howe. “Unfortu-nately, President Obama and

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refuse to join Republicans in the constructive, respectful dialogue that Washington desperately needs.”

Stutzman added, “Eight days ago, Senate Democrats shut down the govern-ment by refusing four separate

House-passed bills to fund the government. It’s clear that the American people don’t want this shutdown and that’s exactly why the House has passed nine bipartisan, common-sense bills to fund and reopen parts of the government that we can all agree on.

“Together, House Republicans and House Democrats have passed bills to ensure that our National Guard is paid, veterans’ benefi ts

are funded, and our national parks are reopened. Unfortunately, these common-ground solutions are gathering dust in the Senate as Harry Reid refuses to come to the table and talk.

“The American people don’t expect Republicans and Democrats to agree on everything, but they do expect us to talk. It’s time for Senate Democrats to put aside their obstructionism and come to the table.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner offered hints of possible compro-mise but also traded heated rhetoric Tuesday, a frustratingly inconclusive combination that left the eight-day partial government shutdown fi rmly in place and the threat of an unprecedented national default drawing closer.

“There’s a crack there,” Boehner said of the impasse near the end of a day of maneuvering at the White House and the Capitol. Yet the Ohio Republican added that it was not enough to warrant optimism.

Stocks fell signifi cantly — the Dow Jones average by 159 points — as political gridlock endured. And, in the latest in a string of dire warnings, the International Monetary Fund said failure to raise America’s debt limit could lead to default and disrupt worldwide

fi nancial markets, raise interest rates and push the U.S economy back into recession.

Republicans “don’t get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their jobs,” Obama said at the White House. “They don’t also get to say, you know, unless you give me what the voters rejected in the last election, I’m going to cause a recession.”

Even the deaths of U.S. servicemen over the weekend in Afghanistan were grist for the politicians. The Pentagon said that because of the partial shutdown it was unable to pay the customary death benefi ts to the survivors.

Boehner said Congress had passed and Obama signed legislation last week permitting the payments, adding it was “disgraceful” for the adminis-tration to interpret the measure otherwise. He said the House

WATERLOO — East Noble’s academic spell bowl team repeated as Northeast Hoosier Confer-ence champions Monday night at DeKalb High School with its highest score of the season.

East Noble scored 73 points, led by senior Josh Tew and sophomore Alyssa Yoquelet with 9 points each, the only perfect scores in the competition, said coach Bob Avery. East Noble retained the confer-ence traveling trophy by

defeating fi ve NHC teams.Following East Noble’s

73 points were: Homestead, 48; DeKalb, 43; Columbia City, 41; Carroll, 36; and Bellmont, 26. Norwell and New Haven did not have spell bowl teams this year.

“We realize that a conference victory means nothing in state competi-tion, but the 73 points scored Monday night topped all the team scores last year,” said Avery. East Noble has never lost an NHC spell bowl competi-tion.

In addition to the perfect scores from Josh Tew and Yoquelet, other individual scores for East Noble were: senior Myra Finton, junior Rachel Smolinske,

sophomore Phillip Phan and freshman Kaelyn Bender, all 8 out of 9; sophomore Brian Tew, 7; junior Emily Savage, 6; and freshmen Meghann McCoy and Gavin Herron, 5.

Avery said Savage showed extremely good sportsmanship by pointing out to her proctor that she misspelled a word that had been overlooked.

“I recognize that such honesty may be considered silly to some, but I respect it,” said Avery.

East Noble’s march to the Hoosier State Spell Bowl fi nals begins Monday at the area meet state qualifi er at Northridge High School in Middlebury.

MERRILLVILLE — NIPSCO said Tuesday that with normal winter tempera-tures, its customers’ heating bills will be approximately 1 percent higher than last winter’s bills — and some of the lowest bills in the last decade.

Over the course of the fi ve-month winter heating season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — NIPSCO’s average residential customers using a total of 624 therms of natural gas could expect to pay approximately $437. That compares to $433 for a customer using the same amount of gas during last winter.

NIPSCO’s projections take into account market forecasts, supply trends and storage levels, among other considerations.

NIPSCO said has among the lowest residen-tial gas bills in Indiana, according to comparisons released monthly by the Indiana Utility Regulatory

Commission.The utility said actual

bills will vary by customer depending on a home’s age and size, the number in the household, number and age of gas appliances, thermostat settings and insulation levels.

“Natural gas continues to be one of the lowest-cost, most reliable and abundant energy sources for customers,” said NIPSCO CEO Jim Stanley. “The outlook on natural gas prices and domestic supplies remain stable for the foresee-able future, which is great news as we head toward the winter heating season.”

While winter bill amounts are projected to be relatively fl at compared to last winter, the company expects usage amounts to be slightly higher. Last winter’s usage was lower than normal due to warmer temperatures during some months.

The cost of natural gas represents the largest

portion of customer bills — on average, two-thirds of an overall bill. NIPSCO said it has no mark-up and makes no profi t on the cost of natural gas billed to its customers. Before billing, natural gas commodity costs must be reviewed by the IURC.

NIPSCO said it cannot control market conditions affecting the price of natural gas, but it does negotiate the best possible price for the natural gas it purchases for its customers.

NIPSCO said it buys gas from a variety of supply sources at different times throughout the year. The ability to store gas helps to offset market price swings, the utility said.

NIPSCO’s gas distri-bution system consists of three on-system storage facilities. The utility connects to seven interstate pipelines, providing access to eight major North American supply basins.

NIPSCO forecasts stable heat costs

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Nearly 50 years after they came up with the theory, but little more than a year since the world’s biggest atom smasher delivered the proof, Britain’s Peter Higgs and Belgian colleague Francois Englert won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for helping to explain how matter formed after the Big Bang.

Working independently in the 1960s, they came up with a theory for how the fundamental building blocks of the universe clumped together, gained mass and formed everything we see around us today. The theory hinged on the existence of a subatomic particle that came to be called the Higgs boson — or the “God particle.”

In one of the biggest breakthroughs in physics in decades, scientists at CERN, the European Organiza-tion for Nuclear Research, announced last year that they had fi nally found a Higgs boson using the $10 billion collider built in a 17-mile (27-kilometer) tunnel under the Swiss-French border.

In a statement issued by the University of Edinburgh, where he retired as a professor, the famously shy, 84-year-old Higgs said he hoped the prize would help people recognize “the value of blue-sky research.”

Englert, 80, said the award pointed to the importance of scientifi c freedom and the need for scientists to be allowed to do fundamental research that doesn’t have immediate practical applica-tions.

“You don’t work thinking to get the Nobel Prize,” said Englert, a retired professor at the Free University of Brussels. Still, “we had the impression that we were doing something that was important, that would later on be used by other researchers.”

The Nobel selection committees are notoriously cautious, often allowing decades to elapse before honoring a scientifi c breakthrough.

Two win physics Nobel

LIGONIER — A meeting to discuss the possibility of building a motel or hotel in Ligonier will take place Thursday at 6 p.m. in the council chambers on the second

fl oor of Ligonier City Hall.The meeting is a chance

for anyone interested in becoming an investor to learn more about the project.

Ligonier Mayor Patty Fisel is hosting the meeting and has

been working on this project for the past few years.

The meeting is open to the public. More details on the project are available by contacting Fisel at 894-4113.

Ligonier hotel meeting set

would clarify the issue with a new bill on Wednesday.

In Congress, a plan by Senate Democrats to raise the debt limit by $1 trillion to stave off a possible default drew little evidence of support from Republicans.

And a proposal by Republicans to create a working group of 20 lawmakers to tackle defi cit issues, approved 224-197 by the House, drew a veto threat from the White House, the latest in a string of them as the administra-tion insists the GOP reopen the government and avert default before any negoti-ations on defi cit reduction

or the three-year-old health care law can take place.

On a day in which both Obama and Boehner appeared on live television, both men appeared to be giving ground yet yielding little if anything of substance.

At midmorning, Boehner and other Republicans seemed to soften their demands.

“I suspect we can work out a mechanism to raise the debt ceiling while a negotia-tion is underway,” said Rep. Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican who is close to Boehner.

The speaker, who had previously insisted on specifi c changes in the health care law as the price

for preventing the shutdown, told reporters, “I want to have a conversation (with Obama and the Democrats). I’m not drawing any lines in the sand. It’s time for us to just sit down and resolve our differences.”

Asked if he was willing to raise the debt ceiling and fund the government for a short period, the Ohio Republican sidestepped. “I’m not going to get into a whole lot of speculation,” he said.

A few hours later, Obama told a news conference he was willing to negotiate with Republicans on budget and other issues if Congress passed even short-term legislation to end the crisis.

SHUTDOWN: Obama wants government open fi rstFROM PAGE A1

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will nominate Federal Reserve vice chair Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as chairman of the nation’s central bank, the White House said Tuesday. Yellen would be the fi rst woman to head the powerful Fed, taking over at a pivotal time for the economy and the banking industry.

Both Yellen and Bernanke are scheduled to appear with Obama at the White House on Wednesday for a formal announcement.

Bernanke will serve

until his term ends Jan. 31, completing a remarkable eight-year tenure in which he helped pull the U.S. economy out of the worst fi nancial crisis and recession since the 1930’s.

Under Bernanke’s leadership, the Fed created extraordinary programs after the fi nancial crisis erupted in 2008 that are credited with helping save the U.S. banking system. The Fed lent money to banks after credit markets froze, cut its key short-term interest rate to near zero and bought trillions in bonds to lower long-term

borrowing rates.Yellen, 67, emerged

as the leading candidate after Lawrence Summers, a former Treasury secretary whom Obama was thought to favor, withdrew from consideration last month in the face of rising opposi-tion.

A close ally of the chairman, she has been a key architect of the Fed’s efforts under Bernanke to keep interest rates near record lows to support the economy, and she would likely continue steering Fed policy in the same direction as Bernanke.

EMMA — Grace St. Clair never looked bored. But the Westview goalkeeper didn’t have a lot to keep her occupied on the way to a shutout performance over Garrett.

A stingy defense in front of the Warrior keeper wouldn’t allow that.

The Warriors took their string of sectional shutouts to six games with a 3-0 victory over Garrett on Tuesday in semifi nal play at the Westview girls soccer sectional.

“It makes me feel good when I rarely have to touch the ball during a game,” St. Clair said. “I just go out and try to do my best.”

Westview, which is aiming for a third-straight title, hasn’t given up a goal in sectional competition since a 2011 loss to Warsaw. The Warriors outscored their opponents 29-0 on the way to their last two sectional titles.

“We wanted to make sure we possessed the ball,” explained Westview coach Jon Jantzi.

“Garrett had some fast forwards in the front line. We couldn’t give them an inch, they’d take a mile.”

Westview advances to meet Lakeland in semifi nal play on Thursday at Westview with a 7 p.m. start. Lakeland was able to move on with a 2-0 win over Bethany Christian.

Thursday’s other girls semifi nal game will feature West Noble and Central Noble at 5 p.m. The Cougars defeated Lakewood Park by a 5-0 margin in a fi rst-round game on Monday.

Westview 3, Garrett 0Garrett closes the season with

an 8-8-1 record.“It was a tough fi rst round for

us, we drew the best team in the sectional,” explained Garrett coach Austin Freels. “A couple of shots slipped through our hands early and that hurt us.”

It took the Warriors less than four minutes to get on the scoreboard. Riley Hochstetler fi red a long shot that went in and out of the hands of the Railroader keeper for a 1-0 margin.

“We knew we had the opportu-nity to take some shots from the outside,” Jantzi said. “We talk about fi ve minutes of pressure right off the bat and try to get that fi rst goal.”

Tessa Zimmerly added a score on a penalty kick and Steph Mowery also struck before the half, sending the Warriors to the break with a 3-0 lead.

Neither team scored in the second half.

Westview took honors in the NECC tournament for the fi fth-straight season, earned the NECC regular season title, and took the squad’s fi rst outright title in the Northern Indiana Soccer Conference.

“That’s a pretty good year,” Jantzi said.

Westview beat Lakeland during regular season play, but Jantzi knows the Lakers will come prepared to play on Thursday.

“They’ll play hard and come out with intensity,” he said. “We won’t take them lightly, take it just

AUBURN — Lakewood Park got off to a slow start in Tuesday’s volleyball match with Eastside.

Once the Panthers got rolling, however, there was no stopping them in a 25-13, 25-14, 25-7 win over the Blazers.

The Panthers (23-5) got 18 kills from junior Brittan Carnahan and 12 more from classmate Naomi Page.

“We started not playing very much like a team, and then we started to be more aggressive at the net, and our passes started to get better,” said Lakewood Park coach Laura Hibbard.

“We’re working on running lots of plays, and Naomi Page, from the middle, did those very effectively. Brittan is a great outside hitter, and she can put away most balls,” Hibbard said. “Together, they had 30 kills. I can’t ask for anything more from two hitters.”

The Panthers trailed 7-2 in game one, but two kills by Carnahan enabled to hosts to draw even at 12. From there, Lakewood Park allowed only one more Eastside point, a kill by Kailen Berry. Another Carnahan kill ended the fi rst game 25-13.

Lakewood Park led 17-8 following a Page ace in game two, and a Page kill ended that contest 25-14.

A Chloe McRobbie ace gave the Panthers a 7-5 lead in game three. Two Page kills and one by Carnahan staked the hosts to a 17-7 lead, and the hosts cruised from there.

Kendall Snyder was 27-of-28 at the serving line, with three aces for Lakewood Park. McRobbie and Snyder had 13 digs each, and Brooke Herendeen had 40 assists.

DUNLAP — Local teams East Noble and Angola had the clear advantage over their Concord Regional semifi nal opponents in doubles Tuesday. But they had to fi nd a way to win a singles match to play in today’s regional fi nal.

The Knights did, though it was tougher the second time around.

Junior Evan Hart won the deciding match at No. 2 singles over Fairfi eld junior Adam Yoder in three sets to give EN a 3-2 victory over the Falcons.

East Noble (14-4) will play the host Minutemen today at 5 p.m. Concord was led by their experi-enced singles play in defeating

two-time reigning regional champion Angola 3-2.

The Knights defeated Fairfi eld 3-2 on Sept. 20 in Kendallville. The same three positions for EN beat Fairfi eld on Tuesday outside of Elkhart. The senior No. 1 doubles team of Jonathan Toles and Carl Kramer and the No. 2 doubles team of senior Brennen Biggins and junior Adam Albertin both won in straight sets.

The only action that mattered and drew a crowd on the upper west courts later in the evening was the No. 2 singles match between Hart and Yoder. And it included line judges for the third set at Yoder’s request after Yoder drew even by winning the second set.

Hart was unfazed by the added eyes of a Fairfi eld assistant coach and EN coach Nathan Toles at the net and dominated Yoder in a third set that lasted just under 20 minutes. Hart won 6-1, 2-6, 6-1 to improve to 23-3 on the season.

“After losing that second set, we got Evan off the court to take a break between the second and third sets. He came down to the kids and said ‘I’m not going to let the team down,’” Toles said. “When he tells me something, I believe it.

“Evan is the most coachable kid I’ve had. He’s a self-motivator. I’m impressed by his conduct on the court. The line judges motivated him.”

Detroit Tigers’s Jhonny Peralta, right, is congrat-ulated by teammate Prince Fielder after hitting three-run home run during the fi fth inning of

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

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers are heading back to California with the help of Max Scherzer and some fans in right fi eld.

During a relief outing to remember, Scherzer escaped a major jam one inning after two fans reached out to try to reel in Victor Martinez’s disputed home run, and the Tigers rallied past the Oakland Athletics 8-6 on Tuesday to force a decisive fi fth game in their AL division series.

Playing catch-up most of the way, the Tigers tied it fi rst with Jhonny Peralta’s three-run homer in the fi fth inning and then on Martinez’s solo shot in the seventh. A couple of fans attempted to catch Martinez’s drive, and at least one of them bobbled the ball as he reached over the railing above the wall.

That prevented right fi elder Josh Reddick from having any chance at a leaping grab. Reddick and center

fi elder Coco Crisp immediately protested, pointing up at the stands in the hope of a fan-interference call. But umpires upheld the home run after a replay review.

Scherzer, making his fi rst relief appearance since the 2011 postseason, gave up a run in the seventh and got in trouble again in the eighth. With the Tigers ahead 5-4, he allowed a walk and a double to start the inning, but after an intentional walk to load the bases, manager Jim Leyland left his 21-game winner on the mound.

Scherzer struck out Reddick and Stephen Vogt before getting pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo to line out to center.

“It was surreal,” Scherzer said. “Maybe it’s not the ninth inning, but that’s the stuff you dream about pitching — bases loaded, eighth inning, no outs and I was able to do it.”

Detroit, hitless through the fi rst four innings in a game of twists

and turns, added three runs in the eighth on a wild pitch and a two-run double by Omar Infante that made it 8-4.

Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run single in the ninth, bringing the potential tying run to the plate, but Joaquin Benoit struck out Seth Smith to end it.

After avoiding elimination, the Tigers can now send Justin Verlander to the mound for Game 5 on Thursday night in Oakland. Verlander shut out the A’s at the Coliseum in the decisive fi fth game of the division series last year.

Scherzer was in line to start Game 5 before being pressed into service Tuesday.

“We took our best shot and we had to because we were behind the 8-ball a little bit,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “We took that shot and, hey, both teams are going to have a good pitcher going two days from now.”

Tigers even up series

Lynx blast Dream; 1 win from title

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Seimone Augustus scored 20 points and Lindsay Whalen had 14 points and fi ve assists to push the Minnesota Lynx to the brink of their second title in three seasons with an 88-63 victory over the Atlanta Dream in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals on Tuesday night.

Rebekkah Brunson had 12 points and 10 rebounds and Maya Moore chipped in 14 points and eight boards for the Lynx, who lead the best-of-fi ve series 2-0.

Angel McCoughtry scored 15 points for the Dream, but she made just 5 of 18 shots and was in foul trouble for most of the night.

Game 3 is on Thursday night in Georgia.

The series is taking on a similar tone to the fi rst time these two met in the fi nals two years ago, when the Lynx swept the Dream for the franchise’s fi rst title. Minnesota was upset by Indiana in the fi nals last year, and entered this series determined to show last year’s disappointment was a fl uke.

The Lynx controlled Game 1 from the opening tip, leading by as many as 31 points en route to an 84-59 victory and came into Game 2 overfl owing with confi dence.

Dream coach Fred Williams had to shuffl e his starting lineup after sparkplug Tiffany Hayes injured her back and tailbone on a nasty spill in Game 1. The Dream went big with 6-foot-4 Aneika Henry next to the 6-foot-5 Erika De Souza. Henry was one of the few Dream players who had any success in the series opening blowout, but she was quiet on Tuesday night.

College GolfThunder men secure MIAA tourney spot

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Trine University’s men’s golf team secured a spot in the four-team, 54-hole Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association NCAA qualifi er tournament in the spring on the fi nal league jamboree hosted by Calvin Monday at Watermark Golf Club.

The Thunder was fourth in the jamboree with a 317, which was four shots behind fi rst-place Hope. Trine fi nished third overall this fall with 2,461, which was fi ve shots behind second-place Calvin and 30 shots ahead of fourth-place Adrian. The Flying Dutchmen won the confer-ence title with 2,435.

On Monday, Graham Bennett was tied for second with a 76 and Nolan Eli was tied for fi fth with 77 to lead Trine. Alma’s Chris Williamson was medalist with a 75.

The Thunder also had an 80 from Connor Dwyer and 84s from Bryce Moore and Cody Knapp. Max Gordon played as an individual and shot 87.

Two Trine seniors earned All-MIAA honors. Bennett made the league’s First Team and Eli made the All-MIAA Second team. Bennett, from Charlotte, N.C., played in all eight jamborees and averaged 76.9. Eli, from Genoa, Ohio, played in seven jamborees and averaged 77.9 per round.

Hope freshman Winton Munch led the MIAA in scoring average and was named the conference’s most valuable player. Olivet senior Nick Julian received the MIAA Sportsmanship Award.

CorrectionsInformation on the

Trine-Kalamazoo football series was incorrect in a story in Sunday’s edition of this newspaper on the Hornets’ 38-31 road victory over the Thunder Saturday.

Saturday marked the fi rst time Kalamazoo beat the Thunder in football since 2006, which was Matt Land’s fi rst season as the Thunder head coach while the Angola college was called Tri-State University.

Land-led Thunder football teams are 6-2 against Kalamazoo.

Also, Michigan Intercol-legiate Athletic Associa-tion offi cials mistakenly released the league’s 2013 all-conference men’s golf team on Monday, and Trine honorees were mentioned in a brief in this newspaper. A mistake was discovered in the calculation of the two teams. First Team and Second Team all-conference golfers mentioned have been taken back.

The only honors that remain offi cial are Hope freshman Winton Munch as the MIAA Most Valuable Player and Olivet senior Nick Julian as the Sports-manship Award recipient.

This newspaper regrets the errors.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ahmad Bradshaw’s season is over and his brief stop in Indy might be, too.

Team owner Jim Irsay said Tuesday that the running back will miss the rest of the season after opting for season-surgery on his injured neck. The former Giants star was injured two weeks ago during a game at San Francisco and had been debating whether to undergo surgery or see if he could recover with rest. Bradshaw has already been placed on the injured reserve list.

Irsay confi rmed the news while to speaking to reporters at the NFL owners meeting in Washington.

The decision came sooner than some expected.

“Ahmad has obviously seen several specialists, collected a lot of informa-tion,” coach Chuck Pagano said Friday. “He’s going to take the next couple weeks to kind of sit back and decide where he’s going to go with this thing.”

Losing Bradshaw is yet another blow to a Colts offense that had already lost three starters with season-ending injuries — tight end Dwayne Allen (hip), running back Vick Ballard (knee) and left guard Donald Thomas (quad).

Indy (4-1) signed Bradshaw to a one-year contract in June, four

months after he was released by the Giants in a salary-cap move and while he was still recovering from offseason foot surgery.

The Colts were hoping that Bradshaw could return to the form that produced two 1,000-yard seasons and two Super Bowl rings while with the Giants.

It’s been a strange journey back.

Bradshaw opened training camp on the physically unable to

perform list and wasn’t activated until mid-August, after league offi cials noted that he had partici-pated in a morning walk-through. He didn’t play in any of the preseason games, then rushed seven times for 26 yards in the Colts’ season-opening win over the Raiders.

He inherited the starting job the next week, after Ballard was injured in practice, fi nishing with 15 carries 65 yards and his fi rst

touchdown at Lucas Oil Stadium since stumbling in for the decisive score in the Giants’ 2012 Super Bowl win over New England.

Three days later, the Colts traded a fi rst-round pick to Cleveland for Trent Richardson, the third overall pick in the 2012 draft.

Bradshaw started against the 49ers but took a big shot early in the game, returned, then appeared to get hurt again after

running into a linemen in the second quarter. He dropped to one knee and trainers appeared to be looking at his shoulder on the sideline. Again, Bradshaw returned, fi nishing the game with 19 carries for 95 yards and another score.

He hadn’t practiced or played since.

“He’s tired. He’s been doing a lot of traveling,” Pagano said Friday. “(Mentally) he’s great. He’s great.”

In seven seasons, Bradshaw has rushed 962 times for 4,418 and 34 touchdowns. He’s also caught 139 passes for 1,129 yards and three scores.

Irsay told reporters that the Colts are not planning to make another big move for a running back and will instead look to Richardson and Donald Brown to take on bigger roles this season. Richardson has run 51 times for 151 yards and two TDs since joining the Colts. Brown, Indy’s fi rst-round pick in 2009, has rushed 19 times for 157 yards and one TD — the winning score in Sunday’s 34-28 victory over previously unbeaten Seattle.

The Colts also waived fullback Robert Hughes, a sign that Indy expects starting fullback Stanley Havili to return from an ankle injury this week, and released rookie running back Kerwynn Williams, Indy’s seventh-round pick in April.

WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — Danny Etling fi t the part Tuesday.

Decked out in a three-piece suit with rosy red cheeks and a beaming smile, Purdue’s new starting quarterback nervously answered question after question in the same basement cafeteria where so many other big-name Boilermakers had stood before — Drew Brees, Rosevelt Colvin, Ryan Kerrigan, Matt Light, Kyle Orton and Shaun Phillips.

The excitable freshman couldn’t believe he was already here.

“It’s something you’ve dreamed of all your life, to be a starting quarterback in the Big Ten,” Etling said Tuesday. “It’s kind of weird to have a dream come true, that’s I guess the best way I can describe it.”

Etling hasn’t given much thought to the signifi cance of being the quarterback of the future as this quarter-back rich school.

He’s more concerned with getting Purdue’s stalled offense jump-started.

So Etling spent his time during the bye week studying game tape, quietly calling out plays and trying to get in sync with his receivers before making his fi rst career start Saturday against Nebraska (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten).

Expectations are high for the 19-year-old, who graduated early from Terre Haute South so he could start college in January.

When he replaced fi fth-year senior and team captain Rob Henry with 35 seconds left in the Sept. 28 loss to Northern Illinois, the crowd roared with approval. Nothing has been the same since then.

By the time Etling picked up his cellphone after the postgame news confer-ence, it was fi lled with text messages, and now the anonymity of walking around campus peacefully has been replaced by other students asking if he was actually Danny Etling.

“I’m like, yeah,” Etling

said with a giggle.But the three days

between the Northern Illinois game and last Tuesday, when coach Darrell Hazell called each quarterback to his offi ce to explain the decision, were fi lled with tension and excitement.

Etling wasn’t sure what would happen.

Hazell didn’t debate it long.

“I slept on it, and I had a pretty good idea and I called coach (John) Shoop in and we talked about it,” Hazell said.

The Lakers scored both of their goals in the second half.

“We made some big changes on the fi eld in the second half,” explained Lakeland coach Megan Hamilton. “Hopefully come Thursday we can pick up the intensity more.”

Lakeland struck seven and a half minutes into the second half when Becca Levitz connected on a long shot that bounced

The second goal came with 8:24 to play, with Samantha Gieseking scoring.

The Lakers are 8-6-1 and in the midst of their fi rst winning season in six years.

Super Bowl organizers making hard push for Indy

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianap-olis is going all out to get the 2018 Super Bowl.

Shortly after NFL owners announced Tuesday that Indy, Minneapolis and New Orleans are the fi nalists for the league’s marquee game, two members from Indy’s bid committee told reporters they will raise the bar from the 2012 game, which drew rave reviews.

Indy and New Orleans have hosted the last two Super Bowls. New Orleans is hoping to get the game to help celebrate the 300th anniversary of the city’s founding. Minneapolis last hosted the game in 1992 and is opening a new stadium.

Bid committee vice chairwoman Cathy Langham said potential donors would now be contacted in an effort to raise $30 million in private funding before the formal presentation in May.

Sweeney staying with CubsCHICAGO — Ryan Sweeney says he’s

staying with the Chicago Cubs.The outfi elder posted Tuesday on

Twitter that he’s “so excited to be back in Chicago” and thanked the organization and fans for believing in him.

Sweeney batted .266 with six homers and 19 RBIs in 70 games this season. He spent time on the 60-day disabled list because of a broken rib after he crashed into a wall in late June.

Kentucky high schools told no postgame handshakes

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky’s athletic sanctioning body has ordered high schools not to conduct postgame handshakes in all sports following more than two dozen physical confrontations the past three years.

Tuesday’s directive from Kentucky High School Athletic Association Commissioner Julian Tackett posted on its web site didn’t mention specifi c fi ghts or confl icts but said several fall sports have had postgame incidents. The organi-zation says it’s “disappointing” to take such action but that it became necessary because of occurrences statewide and nationally.

KHSAA has also instructed game offi cials to immediately leave facilities after contests or risk being penalized.

Teams can choose to ignore the order. Schools that can conduct handshakes must supervise the activity and report any incidents to KHSAA.

Member schools or coaches that engage in unsportsmanlike behavior will be fi ned and penalized.

Stanford, BYU agree to series starting in 2020

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Stanford and BYU have agreed to play a four-game series beginning in 2020.

Stanford will host the fi rst two games of the series in 2020 and 2022. BYU will host the next two in 2023 and 2025.

The schools have met just twice previously. Stanford beat BYU 18-14 in Provo in 2003 and 37-10 in 2004 at Stanford Stadium.

Stanford also is traveling to the Beehive State this week. The fi fth-ranked Cardinal play at Utah in a Pac-12 Conference game Saturday.

Sanchez has season-ending shoulder surgery

NEW YORK (AP) — Quarterback Mark Sanchez has undergone season-ending surgery on his injured right shoulder, possibly also signaling the end of his New York Jets career.

The surgery on the torn labrum was performed by Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday, the team announced on Twitter and its offi cial site. Sanchez, who hasn’t played since being injured in the third preseason game, says in a statement that he was advised by Andrews and other doctors to have surgery.

Sanchez says he’s “disappointed” by not being able to play this season, but expects a full recovery. A hefty contract, however, could make him a salary cap casualty in the offseason.

Sanchez was in a tight competition with rookie Geno Smith for the starting job this summer before being hurt against the Giants.

Prosecutors drop domestic case against Lawson

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) -- The domestic violence case against Denver Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson has been dropped.

Lisa Pinto, a spokeswoman for 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Offi ce, said Tuesday that, “based on our continued investigation and developments after the fi ling of the cases, we dismissed the cases in the interest of justice.”

Lawson and his girlfriend were arrested following a fi ght at their home in August.

At media day nearly two weeks ago, Lawson said he was ready to put the incident behind him. Lawson said: “This is what I live for, the basketball court. This is my safe haven.”

The Nuggets play an exhibition game against the Lakers tonight.

It was a tougher match the second time around for Hart against Yoder. Hart defeated the Falcon junior 6-3, 6-0 nearly three weeks ago in Kendallville.

“I came into the match very positive. I could not look past this match,” Hart said. “I was being aggressive early and making very few mistakes. In the second set, I was a little lazy. My footwork wasn’t (working) too well.

“My teammates got me going in the third set. They gave me so much energy. It’s pretty special. It’s nice to reach (a regional fi nal).”

East Noble will be going for its fi rst team regional championship in boys tennis.

“I’m super pumped

up,” Toles said. “It’s been so long since we’ve been to a regional fi nal. These kids have worked so hard and want to reach another goal.”

The Knights wanted to get another chance at Angola in a regional fi nal. The Hornets took the two doubles matches to take a 2-0 lead. But they could not overcome the strong Concord singles trio of senior Nick Pollock at No. 1, Bolivian exchange student Bernardo Cadario at No. 2 and senior Jared Searer at No. 3. They all won in straight sets.

“They came out and played great tennis,” Hornets coach Scott Hottell said of the Minutemen singles guys. “We matched them a little bit, but we can’t be

upset.“The preseason starts

tomorrow for everybody except for Markus (Arnold) and Craig (Nofziger). The work ethic of the kids has been phenomenal. We maintained a tradition of excellence and that will continue.”

Arnold and Nofziger was the fi rst of the matches in the semifi nal duals to end and they wiped out Concord’s Aaron Allen and Mitchell Boyer 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1 doubles. The Angola duo is 3-0 in state tournament play and will continue play in the doubles sectional tournament at Concord either on Friday or Saturday.

“They played lights out,” Hornet assistant coach Mark Stump said of Arnold and Nofziger.

“They just need to do what they have been doing.”

Hottell continued, “They keep playing out of their minds. Craig is the steady, calm one. Markus is like the lightning rod. I’ve not anyone hit harder like he does since Kyle Dygert.”

The senior Arnold and junior Nofziger has brought comparisons to the great AHS doubles team of Dygert and Clint Jackson at the turn of the 21st century. Arnold is like Dygert where baseball are their best sport. Dygert went on to have a nice baseball career at Ball State.

Hornet senior Cody Nickols won his fi nal match at No. 2 doubles with freshman teammate Jake Honer 6-3, 6-2 over Concord’s Mitchell

Lozier and Riley Huffer.Hornet senior Cameron

Hall played his fi nal match for AHS, losing to Pollock 6-4, 6-2 at No. 1 singles. Hall is the third AHS tennis player to play on four sectional champi-onship teams. Jake Stump and Trudy Wright were the others.

“Cody came back from knee surgery two years ago and did a great job bringing Jake along,” Hottell said. “Cam has grown up so much since his freshman year. It’s been a lot of fun working with them.”

The Hornets fi nish at 12-6.

BY THE REV. YOHANNES MENGSTEABComprehensive immigration reform must

be just that, an all-embracing strategy that addresses issues ranging from the protection of families and children, to assuring suffi cient visa allocations for the many different types of foreign-born workers our economy must have to thrive. I support such a comprehensive plan and am very hopeful that the U.S. House of Representatives will approve one in the

coming weeks.The Senate crafted

workable legislation that would make a good basis for House members to consider. It includes reasonable border security upgrades, expansion of visa programs for both seasonal workers and high-skilled college graduates, and assures humane treatment for immigrant families, children, and asylum seekers. It also protects employers and employees with an e-verify system, and creates a pathway to citizenship for undocu-mented workers.

These are all common-sense strategies that not only uphold America’s long-held status as the most welcoming

— and consequently the strongest — nation in the world, but also support our economic growth and the ready availability of jobs for family breadwinners.

In Indiana, studies estimate that a pathway to citizenship would generate more than 7,600 new jobs and add $630 million to our state economic output by 2020. A policy change to allow more H-1B visas for high-skilled college graduates would also dramatically boost our economic growth, adding 3,200 jobs and $279 million to Indiana GSP in 2014 alone.

Making better use of the talents and training of foreign-born college grads is especially important here in Indiana. We are all justifi ably proud of our higher educational institutions, including the Indiana University system and Purdue, that have helped make our state a hub of innovation in science, technology, engineering and math.

Many of the people who earn diplomas in these “STEM” fi elds of study, so vital to the competitiveness of modern high-tech industries, are temporary residents of the U.S. with no guarantee of being able to remain here after graduation. In 2009, almost half of all Indiana Masters and doctoral degree recipients were immigrants, including over 63 percent of engineering PhDs.

Denying these bright, industrious graduates an opportunity to stay here and build careers with American companies is not just a personal loss for them, it is a tragic loss for the U.S. economy and the millions of American workers who will have fewer future job opportunities because our shortsighted immigration statutes.

Immigrants not only succeed as employees, they have a long-established track record of entrepreneurship that has resulted in the founding of countless U.S. companies. In 2011, immigrants started 28 percent of all new U.S. businesses, even though they make up less than 13 percent of our total population. More than 40 percent of all Fortune 500 fi rms were started by fi rst or second-generation immigrants.

My personal immigration story began 30 years ago, fl eeing political oppression on another continent. I know what it is like to leave everything behind to start a new life and how diffi cult it can be to overcome the many challenges immigrants face. I also know what it is like to succeed in this country, embrace life here, and become a productive, patriotic citizen of the United States.

I support comprehensive reform legisla-tion that will give other immigrants the same opportunity that I have had, and millions of others have had — that all our families have had at some point in the past. Fixing our broken immigration system is the right thing and the smart thing to do. I call on all the members of Indiana’s delegation in the House of Representatives to work without ceasing until this important task is complete.

Guest Commentary•

BY DAVID M. SHRIBMAN

Of all the questions prompted by the governmental shutdown, this may be the most persistent, the one that the most Americans, alternately bewildered and horrifi ed by the spectacle in the capital, found utterly confounding: What were they thinking?

For the truth is that none of the principals marched unthinkingly into the shutdown showdown. They knew what they were doing, and they had examined the tactics and consequences. This confrontation may have seemed thoughtless, but it was just the opposite. This is what they were thinking:

Barack ObamaPilloried for being weak and indecisive on

Syria, hectored by the conservative wing of the Republican Party, clinging to Obamacare as his only substantial legacy, the president had little choice but to project strength and refuse to compromise with his rivals.

Ordinarily, a government shutdown refl ects badly on the head of state, but in this case Obama knew that the Showdown at Shutdown Gulch redounded to his benefi t, at least in the short term, and he proceeded with the sure knowledge that the public would blame the inconvenience and interruptions on the Republi-cans.

Unlike almost every other episode in the Obama years, the plate tectonics of this confron-tation worked to the president’s advantage. To be sure, to conservatives he looked like an uncompromising zealot, but it wasn’t the conser-vatives’ approval that he sought or needed. To the rest of the American public, he looked, perhaps for the fi rst time in years, like the calm steward of the nation, a sharp contrast to the insurgents in the House Republican conference.

John BoehnerFrom the start the speaker knew the risks

involved when a Republican House pushes the government into paralysis. He remembers the last such incident. He knew, too, that his own leadership position was at risk in two dimensions — fi rst in the view of Republican regulars, in his own chamber as well as in the Senate, who

worried that the party was jeopardizing its future in a futile jeremiad against the president; and then in the view of the GOP rebels who doubted his commitment to conservative values and who were skeptical of his impulse to make a deal rather than to make a point.

There was another danger for Boehner as this crisis unfolded. In the 1995-1996 government shutdown, House Speaker Newt Gingrich was the leader of the rebellion and a willing conscript in the shutdown militia. In this case, Boehner was not the leader but, rather, knew he was being led by the rebels. Moreover, he knew, in the classic phrase, that he had to get ahead of the people who, in public at least, were behind him. That unusual political physics led him to volunteer, reluctantly, to be the front man for this rebellion.

House conservativesOn the surface, this increasingly important

faction of the Republican coalition mobilized to repeal, or at least to put off, Obamacare. But the revolt was never only about that. It was about creating a united front against the Obama ethos in its entirety: spending, taxes, gun rights and regulation of business, banking, energy and the environment.

This dispute was also about the get-along, go-along ethos of Congress that these rebels have effectively repealed without ever having taken a vote on it.

Having chosen Obamacare as the fi ght this time — next time, when the issue is the debt ceiling, the fi ght will be on spending — they would not and could not retreat. Many in the middle of both parties and in the mainstream press criticized the rebels unmercifully; they used the term “uncompromising” as a pejorative. But the rebels were fi red up by the zeal that led the Maquisards to mount an underground effort against the Nazis in World War II France: They saw virtue in resistance, even against hopeless odds. It is not a coincidence that those 1940s rebels were called partisans.

Senate rebelsThis group is far smaller than its House

analogue and its face is Sen. Ted Cruz, Princeton

‘92, who inspires the sort of resentment among liberals that Obama, Columbia ‘83, does among conservatives. They are Ivy Leaguers (and Harvard Law graduates) against the stereotype.

In his quasi-fi libuster against Obamacare and then in his efforts to keep conservative discipline among House members, Cruz won the opprobrium of mainstream Republicans but the approbation of conservatives, who could become an important bloc of support if he seeks the GOP presidential nomination in 2016.

The impact of the tea party might be on the decline — a recent Marist Poll showed that support for the movement, now at 23 percent, is down by 11 percentage points in three years, a precipitous drop. But that might not matter in a Republican primary, where the tea partiers are likely to be more committed and more likely to vote than other Republicans — the 21st-cen-tury equivalents of religious conservatives in the 1980s. At the same time, credit Cruz with ingenuity along with steely intelligence. He has had more impact in nine months in the Senate than Obama did in 46 months.

Democratic leadersSenate Majority Leader Harry Reid and

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi abandoned their restraint and poured on the invective, with gusto. They thought the Republicans so odious that they could ignore the principle expressed a century ago by a fellow Democrat, Woodrow Wilson: There’s no reason to murder a man in the process of committing suicide.

— OopsNow, what none of them thought of: The risk

that the Obama rationale on Syria — that if the president doesn’t get his way on foreign policy, his domestic agenda will be wrecked — really does apply, only its impact could be the other way around. The risk that this shutdown is only the overture to a shutdown sonata, with the next movement coming soon, featuring the debt ceiling. The risk both sides took in following this path without an exit strategy.

Government shutdown: Is anyone really thinking?

If not for George Rogers Clark, we Hoosiers might snack on scones with jam and clotted cream and speak with cockney accents.

An exaggeration perhaps, but as Kelley Morgan points out, “George Rogers Clark was almost singlehandedly responsible for the U.S. gaining the Old Northwest Territory.”

Morgan is interpretive manager at Falls of the Ohio State Park in Clarksville, where a representa-tion of Clark’s retirement home overlooks the falls with stunning views of the Ohio River.

A native of Tennessee, Morgan was unfamiliar with Clark until coming to Indiana, and she laments that so few Americans know his story. “I think George ended up being overshadowed by his younger brother William” of Lewis and Clark fame.

George Clark was born in 1752 in Virginia and was a lifelong friend of President Thomas Jefferson with whom he shared passions for science, zoology and the culture of Native Americans.

At age 20, Clark went west on a surveying trip and claimed land for himself and friends in what would become Kentucky. Life was tense there due to constant warfare with Native Americans and British laws against westward settlement.

In June 1776, his fellow citizens asked Clark to lobby the state of Virginia for military assistance and stronger political ties.

The charismatic redhead proved persua-sive. Virginia, though preoccu-pied with the coming war for indepen-dence, granted Kentucky status as a county and supplied 500 pounds of gunpowder.

By 1777, Clark realized that the British were inciting Native American harassment of settlers, including paying bounties for prisoners and scalps. The Virginia legislature granted Clark a commission as lieutenant colonel and permission to gather troops.

Clark set his sights on capturing British forts in the Old Northwest, the territory that would become Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Virginia Gov. Patrick Henry authorized Clark to attack the

British fort of Kaskaskia (Illinois) in French-occupied territory on the Mississippi River. Clark set up a supply base at the Falls of the Ohio. Clark and his men

surprised Kaskaskia on July 4, 1778, taking the fort and town without fi ring a shot. In coming months, Clark rallied support from the French while planning another bold move against the British at Fort Sackville in Vincennes.

“On February 23, they surprised Vincennes,” according to the Indiana Historical Bureau account. “Clark ordered that all of the company’s fl ags be marched back and forth behind a slight

rise to convince the British that there were 600 men rather than under 200. They opened fi re on the fort with such accuracy that the British were prevented from opening their gun ports.”

On Feb. 25, British Offi cer Henry Hamilton surrendered. The British never regained control and “American claims in the Old Northwest served as the basis of the cession of these lands to the United States at the Treaty of Paris in 1783.”

Clark spent much of his personal fortune on the war effort and was never repaid; he

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

50 Cent part ofnew reality show

NEW YORK (AP) — 50 Cent said he’s excited to be part of the new Sundance series “Dream School” because the reality show focuses on uplifting people.

“Dream School,” which debuted Monday (10 p.m. EDT), follows a group of high school dropouts who are trying to graduate. 50 Cent appears in the series with fi lmmaker Oliver Stone and actor David Arquette.

“The actual reality programs that exist right now … kind of focus on the train wreck, and this show is more about providing opportunity,” the 38-year-old rapper said in an interview last week.

The 15 teenagers from the Los Angeles area who appear in the designed “dream school” dropped out of high school because of issues including fi ghting, fi nancial problems and pregnancy. One transgender student said bullying forced him out of school and another didn’t enter the ninth grade because he wanted to care for his cancer-stricken mother.

Man who set selfon fi re sufferedfrom mental illness

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. (AP) — The death of a New Jersey man who set himself on fi re on the National Mall was the result of his long fi ght with mental illness, not a political statement, his family said.

John Constantino, 64, of Mount Laurel, N.J., poured the contents of a canister of gasoline on himself in the center portion of the mall Friday afternoon, police said. He then set himself ablaze, with passing joggers taking off their shirts to help put out the fl ames.

Police had said Constan-tino was conscious and breathing at the scene, but he died later that night at a Washington hospital.

“John Constantino was a loving father and husband. His death was not a political act or statement, but the result of his long battle with mental illness,” his family said in a statement issued through lawyer Jeffrey Cox.

After he set himself on fi re, there was speculation about whether his self-im-molation was an effort to protest the federal govern-ment shutdown, President Barack Obama’s health insurance overhaul, or anything else.

DNA helps policeidentify motherof ‘Baby Hope’

NEW YORK (AP) — In a dramatic break in a cold case more than two decades old, investigators used DNA to identify the mother of a dead child known only as Baby Hope, police said Tuesday.

The New York Police Department received a tip from someone after a publicity push over the summer, police offi cials said. The tip led to the woman, whose name was being withheld amid a homicide investigation.

“A DNA match was made with the mother, and the mother is cooper-ating,” Police Commis-sioner Raymond Kelly told reporters on Tuesday.

Kelly declined to discuss the case further as investi-gators try to determine the circumstances of the 3- to 5-year-old girl’s death.

“Obviously, homicide is a distinct possibility here, so we’re going to go forward in that direction,” Kelly said.

Besides the mother, police also were speaking to other people. No offi cial suspects have been named.

Opposition fi ghters reload a launcher during their attack over Syrian govern-ment forces’ Wadi al-Deef military post in Maaret al-Numan in the Idlib province

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

MAARET AL-NUMAN, Syria (AP) — Rebel fi ghters dressed in camoufl age uniforms carefully loaded mortar rounds, then with a loud boom and a burst of smoke the shells zipped off in the direction of a nearby government army base.

“We are coming to get you, shabiha!” a man surrounded by rebel fi ghters shouted in an apparent reference to President Bashar Assad, using the term the opposition uses to refer to pro-government gunmen.

The shelling Tuesday, the latest salvo in an assault on the military facility, was part of a broader rebel effort to capture the remaining regime outposts in the largely opposition-held countryside of northern Syria.

Dramatic footage shot by The Associated Press showed a group of 45 young rebel fi ghters launching an attack on the military

base, and others deploying improvised cannons and makeshift mortars. Some were also seen fi ring anti-aircraft weapons at attacking government helicopters.

The rebels captured the strategic city of Maaret al-Numan a year ago after systematically seizing the army’s outposts in the area, a major supply route linking the capital, Damascus, with the contested Idlib region and Syria’s largest city, Aleppo.

But despite repeated assaults on the nearby military installation of Hamidiyeh, in the Wadi Deif area east of the city, the rebel fi ghters have failed to break through the heavily fortifi ed base.

The latest operation began Monday, and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said many Libyan fi ghters were battling on the rebel side. It said regime

fi ghter jets twice hit opposi-tion-held areas near the city Tuesday and the clashes caused casualties, though it gave no specifi cs.

At least 10 government soldiers and one rebel fi ghter were killed on Monday, it said.

The fi ght for the base is part of the ongoing, broader struggle for control of northern Syria, where the opposition controls large swathes of territory captured from Assad’s troops.

Most of the northern countryside is in the hands of anti-Assad fi ghters, while the government is holding out in isolated military bases and inside major cities.

During the latest rebel assault Tuesday, one young rebel could be heard shouting above the mortar fi re: “We are ready to move on our military operation, in order to remove the enemy check points and the army presence in Wadi Deif.”

DALLAS (AP) — Need that one-of-a-kind stocking stuffer and have $1.9 million burning a hole in your pocket? Design your own diamond ring and travel to Africa to see where the stone came from.

Love the outdoors but think you’d love it even more while watching the Outdoor Channel? How about an outdoor entertain-ment system replete with a 201-inch television that rises out of the ground? It can be yours for $1.5 million (plus shipping and handling).

These are among the unique offerings for sale in the 87th edition of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, which was unveiled Tuesday in Dallas, where the retailer is based. Almost 40 percent of the more than 500 items for sale in the book cost less than $250 (cheapest: $12 mug), but it’s the “fantasy gifts” that get everyone’s attention, such as the airplanes and camels the company has offered in the past. Eight such items are for sale this year.

“The world has become so much smaller than it used to be that the challenge of fi nding things that are new and interesting becomes harder and harder every year,” Neiman Marcus spokeswoman Ginger Reeder said.

At $1.85 million, the “diamond experience” is this year’s most expensive fantasy gift. For that sum, the buyer gets a 25-carat rough diamond from which to make a person-alized ring with the help of jewelry designer Maria Canale. The package includes a trip to De Beers’ headquarters in London and to Africa to trace the stone’s origins.

For the falconry enthusiast in your life, consider a $150,000-package that includes everything he or she would need for a leisurely afternoon hunting with hawks. Also included are a gold-plated perch, custom-made bird hoods and a handmade backgammon board (for downtime).

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A $2 million bail was set Tuesday for a soldier accused of fatally stabbing a fellow serviceman near a large Army base in Washington state.

Prosecutors charged Jeremiah Hill, 23, with fi rst-degree murder, saying he approached 20-year-old Spc. Tevin Geike and attacked him just as a verbal confrontation between two groups was calming down.

Authorities also charged Cedarium Johnson, 21, and Ajoni Runnion-Bar-

eford, 21, with rendering criminal assistance, saying they helped dispose of the murder weapon. Bail for Runnion-Bareford was set at $250,000. Johnson was released, ordered to be contained at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. All three men pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors said in charging documents Tuesday that an autopsy determined that Geike suffered a deep stab wound to his chest that cut through a rib and plunged through his heart.

Soldier’s bail setin stabbing death

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The state of Indiana and 15 of its public school districts fi led a lawsuit Tuesday against the Internal Revenue Service over rules it imposed to implement the federal health care overhaul.

In the lawsuit fi led in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis, the state and districts contend the federal health care law does not allow fi nancial penalties in states that didn’t create their own online market-places where people can buy insurance. Such states instead ceded that task to the federal government.

The lawsuit also contends that the IRS can’t impose the “employer mandate” requirements of the law on state and local governments.

Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in a statement that a key issue is whether the federal government, through the IRS, can treat the state and its political entities “as taxable entities like private businesses.” The plaintiffs contend IRS can’t do that and that the agency’s rules violate both the Constitution’s 10th Amendment and the federal Administrative Procedure Act.

The suit says the IRS rules will force state and local governments, including school districts, to reduce some part-time employees’ hours to avoid tax penalties.

“It’s very unfortunate that by unconstitutionally interfering with our state personnel policy, the IRS has caused hardship not only to the State but to a number of our state employees who will see their hours reduced through no fault of their own,” Zoeller said in a statement.

The state’s suit also contends that when Indiana elected not to create its own state-run health care exchange and instead allowed the federal govern-ment to design a system where Hoosiers could buy coverage, the expected result was that those individuals would not get government subsidies.

Those Hoosiers’ employers, in turn, should not have to face tax penalties for not providing “minimum essential coverage” to all of their employees working 30 or more hours per week, it states. But the IRS rule means that people buying health coverage on the federal health exchange are “are entitled to the same subsidies as citizens who purchase from a State Exchange.”

Randy Taylor, assistant superintendent of the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville, said the IRS is “overstepping” the boundaries Congress created in the health care overhaul and that the agency’s rules will harm the district, which is one of the plaintiffs in the suit.

“The costly and burden-some employer mandate the IRS wrongly applies to government employers such as our school corporation interferes with our ability to effi ciently manage our workforce,” he said in a statement.

A message was left Tuesday seeking comment from the IRS’ media relations offi ce in Washington, but that offi ce’s voicemail carried a message saying the offi ce would be closed until the partial federal government shutdown ends.

DEAR DOCTOR K: What are “superfoods”? Which ones do you recommend?

DEAR READER: “Superfood” isn’t a technical term; it’s shorthand for foods that can improve your health and prevent disease. I don’t much like the term, since it implies that some foods have magical powers that will keep you healthy regardless of what else you eat or do. But there are foods that do appear to confer more health benefi ts than others.

Together with Dr. Michelle Hauser, nutrition educator and clinical fellow at Harvard Medical School, I’ve compiled a list of 12 “superfoods.” Try to incorporate them into your diet:

(1) Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Th ese fats help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Try to eat salmon or another fatty fi sh twice a week.

(2) Blueberries contain powerful antioxidants, which

can help lower your risk of many diseases. We single out blueberries, but eating a mixture of colorful berries is best.

(3) Broccoli. Any cruciferous vegetable — Brussels sprouts, broccoli, caulifl ower, cabbage or kale — is a worthy dietary addition. Th ese vegeta-bles contain potent disease-fi ghting compounds. Broccoli is also high in vitamin C, fi ber, calcium

and folate.(4) Eggs. One egg contains

6 grams of protein, as well as lutein (good for vision) and

choline (which helps preserve memory). Most people can eat one egg a day without adverse health eff ects. (People with diabetes should probably eat no more than three or four eggs a week.)

(5) Greek yogurt. Yogurt is a great source of bone-strength-ening calcium and vitamin D. Greek yogurt contains twice the protein of regular yogurt.

(6) Beans are an excellent source of folate, potassium, magnesium, iron, protein and fi ber.

(7) Walnuts. Nuts are loaded with healthy fat. As we’ve discussed before, not all fat in the diet is bad for us. Too much saturated fat and trans fat is bad for us, but polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are generally good for us. Walnuts are also high in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids and can quell infl ammation. Other nuts also are healthy foods for the same reasons, but not quite as good as walnuts.

(8) Oatmeal is high in fi ber and can help lower cholesterol levels. Choose steel-cut oatmeal, the least processed type.

(9) Olive oil is high in healthy fats that reduce choles-terol, prevent blood from clotting too easily and may even control blood sugar.

(10) All teas — black, white, green or oolong — are high in antioxidants. Drinking tea every day may help lower your risk of cancer, heart disease and dementia.

(11) Quinoa (“keen-wa”) is a seed that’s used like a grain. It’s high in protein, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. It’s also gluten-free.

(12) Dark chocolate helps control cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure. Choose chocolate containing at least 70 percent cocoa.

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

Your son has made his choice, which is to keep his family together. If that means accepting that his

wife will maintain a relationship with her lover and, in essence, her baby will have “two daddies,” that’s the way it’s going to be. While I understand your husband’s anger, as long as your

son is willing to tolerate the situation, there is nothing to be gained by banning your daughter-in-law from the premises. Because you mentioned church, pray for the strength to support your son through

this because he’s going to need it. I’m sure he is fully aware that his wife isn’t “good” for him, but he’s trying to take the high road anyway. So try to be supportive. What teens need to know about sex, drugs, AIDS and getting along with peers and parents is in “What Every Teen Should Know.” Send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Teen Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.)

THE NEWS SUN THE HERALDREPUBLICAN

StarThe

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2013 NATION • WORLD kpcnews.com B7

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESSBack when Microsoft

was the biggest name in technology, CEO Bill Gates leveled an attack on the auto industry: If carmakers were as innovative as computer companies, he said, a car would cost just $27.

That was 16 years ago.Today, PC sales are

falling as consumers show a preference for mobile devices, and Microsoft is struggling. Meanwhile, U.S. car companies are resurgent. General Motors, the world’s No. 2 carmaker, is gaining ground on No. 1 Toyota. And Ford, after 16 quarters in the black, expects to see $8 billion-plus in profi t this year.

It’s a testament to the changing times that Microsoft is reportedly considering Ford Motor Co. chief Alan Mulally as CEO Steve Ballmer’s replacement when he steps down in less than a year.

Mulally says he’s made no changes to his plan to stay at Ford through the end of 2014. But he hasn’t denied rumors that Microsoft Corp. is courting him. Ford’s board of directors will gather in Dearborn, Mich., starting Wednesday. One of the items on the agenda will be a discussion of Mulally’s future at the company.

As an outsider, Mulally could correct problems that an insider might not even see, like Microsoft’s culture of interdivisional competi-tiveness or the fragmenta-tion of its businesses. While its lucrative enterprise-com-puting services rival its bread-and-butter Windows business in revenue, Microsoft is losing billions chasing Google with its own Bing search engine. The company has also booked hundreds of millions in losses on its Surface tablet computer.

In contrast, Mulally helped Ford become the only Detroit automaker to survive the recession without a government bailout. He forced engineers to start building global cars like the Focus instead of wasting billions making individual cars for each region. He sold or shuttered brands such as Volvo, Jaguar and Mercury, and plowed cash into cars with edgier designs — such as the Fusion sedan — even in the midst of the downturn.

He told feuding executives to embrace the new plan — or leave. Most stayed and learned to appreciate Mulally’s weekly meetings and focus on cooperation and transpar-ency.

James Schrager, a professor at the Univer-sity of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, says Mulally was a “genius” at

“working person-to-person on the management side.” The CEO helped Ford fi gure out “who we really are as a company, where we’re going to spend all our time and money and what we really have to achieve to be special to our customers.”

When Ford hired Mulally in 2006, the company was drifting. Its fl agship money-makers —trucks and SUVs — were suffering as consumers sought more fuel-effi cient cars to combat rising gas prices. Similarly, Microsoft’s still-dominant Windows operating system faces serious headwinds as consumers switch to tablets, a trend that threatens to scuttle its core business providing operating system software for PCs.

“Once something works, it’s hard to change your behavior,” says analyst Roger Kay, president of Endpoint Technologies

Associates Inc. “Microsoft is in the same position. It’s running like a billing machine. At some point,

they’re going to have to add value if they want to generate some more money.”

Ford chief candidate to take over Microsoft

AP

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