Survivalist group plans to build isolated stronghold. INSIDE, Page 7A By Roger Alford Associated Press FRANKFORT — Gov. Steve Beshear made his case for overhauling Kentucky's tax structure on Wednes- day, calling on the state's leaders to stop putting off uncomfortable decisions. In his annual State of the Commonwealth speech to a joint session of the House and Senate, Beshear said massive budget cuts over the past five years have hurt key government pro- grams and that additional revenue is needed to undo the damage. “We will not be able to invest in critical areas like job training and educa- tion, nor solve monstrous problems like pension li- abilities, unless we think strategically and act ag- gressively and coura- geously,” the Democratic governor said. Beshear said Kentucky has commissioned 12 stud- ies of its tax system since 1982, all of which con- cluded that changes are needed. “Kentucky's tax code works against us, not for us,” Beshear said. “We need a tax structure that's fair to all of our citizens and easy to understand, that helps recruit business, not drive it away, and that, because it's aligned with a 21st century economy, is able to bring in the revenue we need to fund critical services.” Beshear made clear that he doesn't necessar- ily expect the work to be completed in the current legislative session, which ends next month. He has already said he may call a special session later to complete the work. “There's not a lot of time, and so the agenda I'm setting forth tonight is not only for this short ses- sion but also for the year ahead,” he said. Kentucky was hit hard in recent years by an eco- nomic recession that has forced Beshear and law- makers to cut the state budget by some $1.6 billion since 2008.

The lake is the first one as you enter the park off of Kentucky 351 near Heb- bardsville. The fish had to be scooped into the bucket of a front-end loader and placed in the lake because of muddy shore condi- tions. The same number of fish were stocked in Morton’s Lake in Union County, and that lake was immediately opened for fishing. Sandy Watkins Park, however, will be open for trout fishing only on week- ends, because Job Corps students are currently building a handicapped- accessible lake there. They do not work on weekends, which will allow trout fish- ing between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sun- days, although the park’s other lakes will remain closed. Sheriff Ed Brady said he will probably have a deputy patrolling the area today and Friday. “Some- body might try to get a jump on the other fisher- men,” he said. Furthermore, once the park lake opens Saturday “we’ll have a game warden on site to make sure every- body’s following the rules and regulations,” noted County Engineer Bill Hu- biak.

The Postal Service said Wednesday that it plans to cut back to five-day-a-week deliver- ies for everything except pack- ages to stem its financial losses in a world radically re-ordered by the Internet. “Our financial condition is urgent,” declared Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe. But Congress has voted in the past to bar the idea of eliminating Satur- day delivery, and his announce- ment immediately drew protests from some lawmakers. The plan, which is to take effect in August, also brought vigorous objections from farmers, the letter carriers’ union and others. The Postal Service, which suf- fered a $15.9 billion loss in the past budget year, said it expected to save $2 billion annually with the Saturday cutback. Mail such as letters and magazines would be affected. Delivery of packages of all sizes would continue six days a week. The plan accentuates one of the agency’s strong points: Pack- age delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has plummeted. Email has decreased the mail- ing of paper letters, but online purchases have increased pack- age shipping, forcing the Postal Service to adjust to customers’ new habits. “Things change,” Donahoe said. James Valentine, an antiques shop owner in Toledo, wasn’t too concerned about the news. “The mail isn’t that important to me anymore. I don’t sit around waiting for it to come.

PADUCAH — If the Army Corp of engineers doesn’t back off a pro-posal to close fishing waters near dams on the Cumberland River, lawmakers from Kentucky and Tennessee may take up the issue in Congress.

Media reported that two western Kentucky county offi-cials joined U.S. Rep. Ed Whit-field of Kentucky and U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander and U.S. Rep.

Jim Cooper of Tennessee in a meeting Tuesday with Maj. Gen. Michael Walsh, the Corps’ deputy commander. The group discussed possible alternatives to closing the waters directly above and below the 10 dams the agency operates on the river and its tributaries, but no decisions were made.

The waters are plentiful with fish and attract anglers, but the corps has said the action is nec-essary for safety.

Whitfield and Alexander say they are prepared to file legisla-tion if discussions don’t produce a satisfactory resolution.

“There is a logical solution to the problem, which is close the area when it is dangerous and open it when it is safe and give people plenty of warning about the difference,” Alexander told reporters during a conference call after the meeting.

He said safety options could include the installation of better

warnings and alarms and put-ting up buoys when spillways are opened, Alexander said.

“These are some of the most important fisheries anywhere in the United States,” Alexan-der said. “For most of the time, they are absolutely safe. What is not safe is to go near the dams when they are open and spilling water.”

Kentucky officials say they are hopeful that the meeting will make a difference.

“We met for about 30 minutes, I would say,” Whitfield said after

the meeting. “They listened to us politely. We asked questions, they answered questions and asked some of their own. We had a nice dialogue.”

Livingston County Judge-Ex-ecutive Chris Lasher and Lyon County Judge-Executive Wade White traveled to Washington for the meeting.

“I do feel like we got our point across,” Lasher said. “It certainly was worth coming up here. We are hoping that they will take our suggestion to work together to heart.”

The city and county is-sued building permits in January totaling nearly $1.3 million, with half of that related to a remodel-ing permit at Ohio Valley Financial Group’s main branch downtown.

OV received a $675,000 permit for remodeling the upper three floors of the older portion of its build-ing at 140 N. Main St.

The work will include modernizing the bank building’s electrical, heat-ing and air conditioning systems; replacing old en-ergy inefficient windows; updating the board room with technological and

communications systems; and adding employee training and physical fit-ness facilities.

Meanwhile, Lucy Bellas Pizzeria, a new restaurant, received a $1,300 permit for remodeling its build-ing at 2201 U.S. 41-North.

BankTrust Financial (formerly the Bank of Henderson) received four permits totaling $24,244 for new signs reflecting its new name at its branches and ATM sites.

Meanwhile, the city and county each issued one permit for a new single-family house.

In January 2012, the city and county issued permits totaling nearly $1.9 mil-lion, including two new single-family houses.

Christy Gillenwater, the new president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana in Evans-ville, will be the featured speak-er at the Henderson Chamber of Commerce’s Good Morning, Henderson breakfast on Feb. 14.

Gillenwater was announced as the new chief of the CC-SWIN on Dec. 12, replaced Matt Meadors, who left Evansville to take the CEO position at the chamber of commerce in Waco, Texas.

She had previously been president and CEO of the Great-er Bloomington (Ind.) Chamber of Commerce since 2005. The Bloomington Chamber was named the Indiana Chamber of the Year in 2011 and one of the American Chamber

of Commerce Executives’ na-tional Chamber of the Year win-ners in 2012.

“It’s our plea-sure to welcome Christy to the Tri-state, and we thought it would be terrific to give Christy a chance to meet some of her new neighbors in Hen-derson by inviting her to our February breakfast,” according to Henderson Chamber Presi-dent Brad Schneider.

“She is an outstanding cham-ber executive who will do great things Evansville,” he said. “We have a close working relation-ship with the CCSWIN, and we look forward to partnering with Christy, her staff and board of directors to help our region

achieve its goals.”Gillenwater holds a bach-

elor’s degree from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University and a MBA from Ball State University. From 2003 to 2005 she served as vice president of technology advancement for the Muncie (Ind.)-Delaware County Chamber of Commerce. From 2000 to 2003 she was an external affairs manager for SBC in an 11-county region in northern Indiana.

The event will begin at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, at Hen-derson Country Club.

The cost is $12 for chamber members and $18 for nonmem-bers, and includes a buffet breakfast.

For reservations, contact the chamber at 826-9531 or [email protected].

Charles Eubank will p r e s e n t “Skills for S u c c e s s : A Da le C a r n e g i e Overview.” Attendees will get a mini-Dale C a r n e g i e t r a i n i n g course, including strate-gies for strengthening in-terpersonal relationships; managing workplace stress; becoming a better communicator, problem solver and leader; and de-veloping a take-charge at-titude with confidence and enthusiasm.

Founded in 1912 by suc-cessful salesman and pub-lic-speaking teacher Dale Carnegie, the firm has evolved from one man’s belief in the power of per-sonal development to a global workplace learning and performance organi-zation with offices in more than 80 countries.

Dale Carnegie focuses on improving the perfor-mance of companies by improving their teams’ performance.

Eubank represents Dale Carnegie in the Evansville area and has decades of experience teaching the company’s courses.

FRANKFORT — Six of Kentucky’s public uni-versities have cleared an initial hurdle for a plan to spend $363 million on construc-tion projects, including a makeover for the Kentucky’s Commonwealth Stadium.

The House Appropriations and Rev-enue Committee approved legislation Wednesday allowing the universities to proceed with the projects.

The top selling points for the proposal are that the projects will be paid for by the universities without any General Fund money and that they will create more than 5,000 construction jobs.

The biggest expenditure would be $110 million to renovate Commonwealth Stadium. Morehead, Murray, Northern and Western Kentucky universities also would get upgrades, as would the Uni-versity of Louisville. The legislation now goes to the full House for consideration.

Somewhere in Pakistan there is a member of the Taliban who fancies himself a holy warrior for shoot-ing an unarmed teen in the head while she was on her way home from school last Oct. 9.

Whatever the gunman’s self-image, the rest of the world thinks of him as neither holy nor a warrior but an ignorant, misogynistic thug.

As a public-relations gesture — and spreading fear is the Taliban’s idea of public relations — the shooting backfired spectacularly.

Malala Yousafzai, 15, became an international heroine and a symbol of the lengths to which the Taliban would go to prevent girls from getting an education. Malala had urged other Pakistani girls to get an education, a fatal sign of “Western thinking,” in the Taliban’s estimation.

She was quickly flown to England, both for medical care — part of her skull had been blown off, she faced unknown brain damage and impaired hearing — and for protection against the Taliban, who now realized that rather than eliminating a nuisance they had badly damaged their cause.

On Monday, Malala appeared in a video urging “every girl, every child” to be educated, and making a pitch for the Malala Fund, a girls’ education charity.

Doctors at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital successfully rebuilt her skull, restored hearing in her left ear, and have reported that she would have no lasting cognitive damage and cleared her to return to school.

She will probably stay in England for the time be-ing, both to go to school and for her own safety, but her courage, resilience and adherence to her cause of female education will be a standing rebuke to the Taliban’s version of Islam.

Wounded girl a living rebuke to terrorists

The Super Bowl has come and gone. Reports tell us it was the third most widely witnessed event in American TV history, beaten only by two other Super Bowls. In this land of ours, the game has be-come as big a celebratory deal as just about anything from the Fourth of July to New Year’s Eve. It features a physically tough sport. It is enmeshed in commer-cialism. Is all this OK?

I think so.In fact, I think the whole

affair speaks to a remark-able American energy, even a certain joyfulness. The evening’s viewing may be mostly a dodge of life’s unpleasant stuff, but so is attendance of a classic music concert or getting lost in a good novel. To my mind, such reprieves can be blessedly healthy.

And the frivolity did have touches of unifying seriousness, the most mov-ing of which was the won-drous singing of “America the Beautiful” by a chorus of 26 children from Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. That’s

where 20 first-graders along with six adults were shot to death in December, a shock that left the nation hurting. “We are Sandy Hook and We Choose Love,” said a statement by school officials, and love was what you also saw in the faces shown by TV cameras in the New Or-leans Superdome as the bright-eyed children per-formed.

Football is a magnificent spectator sport of massive men colliding for the sake of getting the ball ahead a foot or two and then el-egant, long-distance pass-es impossibly caught with sometimes stunning grace. It’s a game of psychologi-cal ups and downs that make a difference, of skill and character and, believe it or not, of intellect that

must consider strategies, counter-strategies and in-genious tactics.

It’s a sport as well that many of us grew up on, though my own participa-tion was confined to the backyard variety in which you touched instead of tackled. Some people think competition is a bad thing. I think winning and losing make statements about strengths and shortcom-ings, and handling either one well is a means of growth. The world gets better through competi-tion as long as it is hon-est and fair. Competition in team sports demands teamwork, a virtue. It also demands exceptional individual effort and de-velopment of talents, also virtues.

There was a tech blot on the game this year, a lights-out stretch when you kept asking yourself whether America had really come to this — a power outage during the Super Bowl? But the TV technology we now take for granted is amazing, a way of watching sports

that distant generations could not have imagined, and the lights were defi-nitely working when Be-yoncé wowed the crowd.

Maybe a few of the Su-per Bowl TV commercials fell short of super, but many were delightfully imaginative, brilliantly executed, captivating, a kind of art, even though it was seldom clear to me there had been any clear case for buying the prod-uct. I happen to believe in the least crass advertising as a means of boosting free enterprise that in turn is the greatest cure ever dis-covered for poverty.

Something like 108 mil-lion people watched this game and there’s a sense in which we Americans are more together than apart on Super Bowl Sunday, and this year the togetherness was symbolized by a rath-er extraordinary circum-stance. The coaches of the two teams were brothers.

Football does have a problem in lasting brain injuries, and this must be fixed for the future. I bet we’ll fix it.

NFL offers up another super Super Bowl

Everyone born after 1945 ought to spend a day at the National World War II Museum, one of New Orleans’ major accom-plishments since Katrina left us wondering whether it was over for this cosmo-politan gem on the banks of the Mississippi. The mu-seum honors the “last good war” fought by what some historians call the “great-est generation.”

Encompassing several acres in the old down-town warehouse district a few blocks from the iconic French Quarter, this enterprise is a stirring documentation of how 132 million Americans liter-ally saved the free world during World War II. For those of us who were alive but not of an age to fight, the memories of scrap drives, rationing, war bonds and tears for loved ones came flooding back.

Walking for hours through the exhibits, pausing to watch videos and read explanations, I couldn’t help think that it was a fitting time to be there while the White House and Congress back in Washington were vet-ting new leadership for the Department of Defense. Specifically, a Senate

committee was grilling President Barack Obama’s nominee for secretary of defense, former GOP sena-tor and decorated Vietnam veteran Chuck Hagel of Nebraska.

In that hearing, two he-roes of a war in Southeast Asia squared off over en-tirely different wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, wars that have lasted more than twice as long as the global conflict I was reviewing.

Hagel and Sen. John Mc-Cain faced one another in a question-and-answer session that brought no honor to either party. Mc-Cain, the former Republi-can presidential nominee and captured Navy pilot, treated Hagel, his former Republican colleague and once seemingly fast friend, to an interrogation that bordered on the incivility that has become almost the norm on Capitol Hill. Hagel’s response was weak and disjointed, almost as

though he’d never been on the other side of such a hearing.

I watched part of the exchange in the muse-um’s old-fashioned, 1940s soda shop, where you can actually get a soda. I kept wondering why anyone would sit through this an-gry, unenlightening non-sense. Apparently, what provoked McCain to the point of clenched-teeth an-noyance was Hagel’s oppo-sition to George W. Bush’s Iraq surge on the grounds that it would only result in the loss of more American lives.

McCain, a proponent of the increase in troops, would have none of that.

Did anyone benefit from the exchange and the GOP attacks on their former Senate colleague? The rest of the senators, the Repub-lican Party, politics gener-ally, the public? Hardly!

Democrats probably have the votes to confirm Hagel, even if Republicans filibuster. I am convinced Hagel will be a strong de-fense secretary and mod-erating voice to the neocon hawks — without damag-ing our security or giving way to those who want to downgrade the nation’s military once again.

One exhibit showed that America’s prewar strength in men under arms ranked 18th in the world. Compared to the Axis powers — Japan and Germany — we weren’t even in the game in 1941. But it didn’t take long for that to change. Japanese Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, who planned the attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, had feared awak-ening a “sleeping giant.” His planes indeed awoke America’s industrial might and its citizens’ fierce de-termination.

Our industrial capacity may not be the same, but today we face a different kind of threat and we’re looking at different ways to cope with it. The big, draft-swollen standing army passed decades ago. Today’s troops are better trained, much more ef-ficient professionals sup-plied with constantly im-proving technology.

The comparison with that last, great global con-flict of nearly 70 years ago is valid only in one respect: the spirit of those Ameri-cans who responded to the threat so thoroughly dis-played in this museum. Hagel won’t change that, and McCain knows it.

REI CEO nominated for Interior secretary

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s choice for Interior secretary is a life-long outdoors enthusiast who likes to bike, ski and climb mountains.

As president and chief executive at Recreational Equipment Inc., Sally Jew-ell has applied her passion to her job, helping push REI to nearly $2 billion in annual revenues and a place on Fortune Maga-zine’s list of “Best Places to Work.”

Now Obama hopes to take advantage of Jew-ell’s love for the outdoors and her business sense as she takes over at Interior, the federal department responsible for national parks and other public lands.

In announcing the nom-ination, Obama said Jewell has earned national rec-ognition for her environ-mental stewardship at REI, which sells clothing and gear for outdoor enthusi-asts. He also noted her ex-perience as an engineer in oil fields and her fondness for mountain climbing.

The toughest part of Jewell’s new job “will probably be sitting behind a desk,” Obama said.

U.S. tightening sanctions on Iran

WASHINGTON — The United States is tightening sanc-tions on Iran to pressure the Tehran government to limit its nuclear program and similar restrictions on institutions that Washing-ton says are stifling politi-cal dissent and censoring speech.

Among the expanded measures announced Monday by the Treasury Department is a move to deny Iran access to rev-enue garnered from its oil

exports. Many countries think Tehran is working to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has said repeatedly that its nuclear program is meant for peaceful pur-poses.

Under the oil sanctions, Iran would be able to use revenue from its oil sales only in a country that pur-chased its crude, signifi-cantly limiting its access to the money.

The financial sanctions apply to Iran’s state-run media, the Islamic Repub-lic of Iran Broadcasting, as well as its director.G e o r G i a

Fiery pileup on highway kills 4

MONTROSE — More than two dozen cars, pickups and tractor-trailers col-lided Wednesday morn-ing in a fiery pileup on a foggy Georgia interstate, killing at least four people and sending nine others to a hospital, officials said.

Work crews on Inter-state 16 still were clear-ing charred and twisted wreckage from the crash scene, which covered nearly a quarter-mile of the road, nearly six hours after the chain of crashes occurred at about 8:10 a.m. Crews initially reported three deaths before find-ing another person dead in the wreckage later Wednesday.

The Georgia State Patrol still was trying to piece together what started the series of wrecks involving 27 vehicles.

Capt. Kirk McGlamery said even drivers who dodged to the side of cars crashing in front of them weren’t safe from getting rear-ended off the high-way’s shoulder.

Officials said poor visi-bility from dense fog likely played a big part.

DENVER — Two young chil-dren and a woman were killed, and a third child was wounded, in a shoot-ing at a northeast Denver house, police said Wednes-day.

The wounded child was in critical condition at Denver Health Medical Center.

The shooting appeared to have been isolated, and there was no indication a shooter was on the loose,

said police Major Crimes Cmdr. Ron Saunier.

“Is there a mass killer or someone running around? At this time we don’t be-lieve so,” he said.

Police declined to say whether it was a murder-suicide. The names and relationships of the vic-tims weren’t immediately released.

Police Chief Robert White called the deaths “a horrible tragedy.”

The house where the bodies were found is in an industrial area of ware-houses and a trucking ter-minal, near the National Western Stock Show com-plex.

Neighbor Debbie Mar-tinez said the house was

recently remodeled, and she saw a family of five — two adults and three chil-dren — move in about six months ago.

“They seem like outgo-ing people. They didn’t bother anybody,” she said.

On a corner about a block from the scene, members of nearby Providence Bible Church gathered in a circle to prayer.

“Basically, we pray for the community,” said Jose Rojas, pastor of the church.

“This is the horror of the whole country. There are all these shootings,” he said. “I think it’s too much, too much to see innocent people being killed.”

McArthur Mitchell and Joann Cobb, who live near-by, said the family seemed happy, sometimes taking walks with a dog.

“They were friendly. We didn’t hear them fighting,” Cobb said.

She said she believed the man she saw at the house left for work Wednesday morning, before police swarmed the home.

“I’m in such a shock. They were just a happy little family,” she said.

The deaths came as the Colorado Legisla-ture considers stricter gun laws, and President Barack Obama tries to rally national support for a ban on assault weapons.

Mexican navy marines stand at a roadblock tuesday after masked armed men broke into a beach home, raping six spanish tourists who had rented the house in Acapulco, Mexico.

By Bertha RamosAssociated Press

ACAPULCO, Mexico — Armed, masked men who raped six Spanish tourists in the Mexican resort of Acapul-co spared the lone Mexi-can woman in the group because of her nationality, adding yet another maca-bre twist to the case that has further hurt the resort’s already battered reputation.

It was unclear whether the group of 12 Spaniards who fell prey to the attack had been targeted because of their nationality in the three-hour ordeal at a rented house on a tranquil beach dotted with restau-rants, small hotels and rental homes. Most of the six men and six women live in Mexico City and were va-cationing in Acapulco.

The five attackers burst

into the house and held the group at gunpoint, said Acapulco Mayor Luis Walton. They tied up the six men with phone cords and bathing suit straps and then raped the six Spanish women.

Walton said the Span-iards had been “escorted,” apparently under police protection, out of Acapulco on Tuesday.

Guerrero state Attorney General Martha Garzon told local media that the attack-ers’ motive was “robbery, and to have fun,” and they drank mescal they found at the house after committing the rapes. The lone Mexican woman, who’s married to one of the Spaniards, “was saved by the fact that she is Mexican.”

“She says she identified herself to the (attackers) and asked not to be raped, and they told her that she had passed the test by be-ing Mexican and they didn’t touch her,” Garzon told Radio Formula. While some Mexicans harbor

resentment against Span-iards dating to colonial times, the Spaniards may have been targeted for other reasons, like their appear-ance or possessions.

Authorities and residents of Acapulco struggled to come to terms with the at-tack and its near-certain effect on the area’s tourism industry, amid concerns that such violence could af-fect the draw of other, safer Mexican resorts.

Walton rushed to apolo-gize Wednesday for his comment from Monday that “this happens everywhere in the world, not just in Aca-pulco or in Mexico.”

“I apologize for having said that,” he said Wednes-day.

The manager of a small hotel near the house said he heard shouting dur-ing the attack just after midnight Monday, but did nothing because he felt it would be too dangerous. The man did want to give his name for safety rea-sons.

WASHINGTON — The Penta-gon is cutting its aircraft carrier presence in the Persian Gulf region from two carriers to one, the Defense Department said Wednesday, in a move that represents one of the most significant effects of bud-get cuts on the U.S. mili-tary presence overseas. The decision comes as Washington struggles to find a way to avoid sharp automatic spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and domestic programs next month.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has approved keeping just one carrier in the Persian Gulf region. The U.S. has maintained

two aircraft carrier groups in the Gulf for most of the last two years.

Panetta has led a cam-paign to replace the au-tomatic cuts he warns would “hollow out” the military, and the Penta-gon has been providing greater details on the cuts it would have to make if Congress fails to both replace them and agree on a 2013 defense budget

bill. The carrier decision is one of the most sig-nificant announcements made thus far.

Plans for the USS Harry S Truman to deploy to the Gulf later this week have been canceled. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, brought home from the Gulf in December for maintenance, will return later this month and stay until about summer. The

USS John C. Stennis will leave the Gulf and return home after the Eisenhower arrives.

Pentagon press secre-tary George Little said the Navy asked Panetta to de-lay the deployments of the Truman and the USS Get-tysburg, a guided-missile cruiser, because of budget uncertainty.

“This prudent decision enables the U.S. Navy to maintain these ships to deploy on short notice in the event they are needed to respond to national security contingencies,” Little said.

In 2010, then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates ap-proved a formal directive to keep two carrier groups in the Gulf amid escalating tensions with Iran. It has been part of a U.S. show of force in the region, par-ticularly in an effort to en-sure that the critical Strait of Hormuz remains open to naval traffic.

BEIRUT — Syrian rebels and regime forces fought their most intense clashes in weeks inside the heavily guarded capital of Damas-cus on Wednesday, activ-ists said, with the sounds of shell blasts echoing through the downtown area and keeping many children home from school while residents hid in their houses.

The opposition fight-ers blasted army check-points with rif les and anti-aircraft guns while govern ment forces shelled the eastern and southern suburbs, trying to repel a new insurgent effort to push the civil war into the heart of the capital, the anti-regime activists said.

Although bordered by rebellious suburbs that have seen fierce fighting, widespread clashes have remained mostly on the capital’s edges, saving it from the destruction that has ravaged other major cities such as Aleppo and Homs.

The military of Presi-dent Bashar al-Assad has focused on securing the capital, and the dozens of rebels groups that have established footholds in Damascus suburbs have failed to form a united front, each fighting for its own area with little or no coordination with others.

More than 60,000 peo-ple have been killed since Syria’s conflict started in March 2011. Some 700,000 people have fled to neigh-boring countries.

Foe’s assassination leads to shake-up

TUNIS — Shaken by the as-sassination of a prominent leftist opposition leader that unleashed major protests, Tunisia’s prime minister announced Wednesday that he would form a new government of technocrats to guide the country to elec-tions “as soon as possible.”

The decision by Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali was a concession to the op-position, which has long demanded a reshuffle of the Islamist-dominated govern-ment. It also came hours after the first assassination of a political leader in post-revolutionary Tunisia.

The killing of 48-year-old Chokri Belaid, a secularist and fierce critic of Ennahda, the moderate ruling Islamist party, marked an escala-tion in the country’s po-litical violence and sparked allegations of government negligence — even outright complicity.

The ruling coalition, led by Jebali’s Ennahda party, had been in stalled negotiations with opposi-tion parties to expand the coalition and redistribute ministerial portfolios in an effort to calm the country’s fractious politics.

Stash of weapons, rocket rattle town

GAO — Soldiers combing abandoned jihadist hideouts and sand-dusted streets for weapons have found indus-trial-strength explosives, raising the specter Wednes-day of bomb attacks by the jihadists who fled into the desert after the arrival of French forces.

As the French began talk-ing about a timeline for a

troop drawdown, there also were growing concerns that the Islamic militants may be creeping back toward their stronghold amid reports of clashes near Gao.

France’s defense minis-ter said French troops had clashed the day before with Islamic extremists firing rocket launchers outside Gao. One of the rockets landed near a tree in a resi-dential neighborhood.au s t r a l i a

Tsunami kills 6, wrecks villages

SYDNEY — Six bodies, in-cluding a child’s, have been found in the sodden wreck-age left by a tsunami that smashed into villages in the Solomon Islands, flatten-ing dozens of homes in the South Pacific island chain.

The 4-foot-11-inch waves that roared inland on Santa Cruz Island, in the eastern Solomons, on Wednesday were too fast to outrun for five elderly villagers and one child, who died after be-ing sucked under the rush-ing water, George Herming, a spokesman for the prime minister, said Thursday. Several other people were still missing and dozens of strong aftershocks were keeping frightened villagers from returning to the coast, Herming said.

The tsunami was gen-erated by a powerful 8.0-magnitude earthquake that struck near the town of Lata, on Santa Cruz in Temotu, the easternmost province in the Solomons. Temotu has a population of around 30,000.

The damage appeared to be concentrated to the west side of Santa Cruz, with five villages wiped out, Herming said. Au-thorities were still strug-gling to reach the remote area but an estimated 100 homes had been damaged or destroyed, he said.

NEW YORK — Too much drama, boredom and scads of irrelevant information are just some of the rea-sons Facebook users give for taking a break from the world’s biggest social net-working site for weeks at a time, according to a new study.

A report from the Pew Research Center’s Inter-net and American Life Project found that some 61 percent of Facebook users had taken a hiatus of at least several weeks for a myriad of reasons, whether they were weary from an onslaught of gos-sip, or for the more pious, the arrival of Lent.

Yet the use of Facebook, whether constant or not, is pervasive in America.

Of the American adults who use the Internet, 67 percent are on Facebook, Pew found. That compares with 20 percent who use LinkedIn and 16 percent who are on Twitter.

But users do come and go, some temporarily, and some for good. Twenty percent of those with In-ternet access said they used the site at one point, but no longer do. By its own count, Facebook Inc. has 1.06 billion users worldwide who check in at least once a month. This includes millions of du-plicate and fake accounts.

More than 150 million us-ers are in the U.S.

The largest slice of us-ers, 20 percent, said that they were simply too busy with their own lives to fol-low the constant stream of status updates, George Takei quotes and baby photos.

Privacy and security concerns, which have re-ceived plenty of media coverage, were low on the list. Only 4 percent of people gave these reasons, combined with concerns about ads and spam, as their “Facebook vacation” motivation.

Lee Rainie, director of the Internet and American Life Project said privacy is more of a big policy ques-tion that people do not concern themselves with day-by-day. Rather, people are contemplating how they spend their time and allocate their attention.

“People are making in-teresting calibrations and recalibrations” about how they spend their time, and

the worth of constantly staying connected to friends, family and others on line, Rainie said.

And while people do take Facebook breaks, In-ternet users are logging in more frequently than ever, the study found.

Among other interest-ing tidbits:

■ 59 percent of Face-book users said that the site is about as important to them as it was a year ago;

■ 12 percent said Face-book is more important to them than it was a year ago and 28 percent said it has become less important.

■ 8 percent says they took a break from Face-book because they were spending too much time using it.

■ 69 percent said they plan to spend the same amount of time on Face-book in the coming year.

Responding to the re-port, Facebook said that its growth and user engage-ment remains strong.

By Nicholas K. GeraniosAssociated Press

ST. MARIES, Idaho — A group of survivalists wants to build a giant walled for-tress in the woods of the Idaho Panhandle, a medi-eval-style city where resi-dents would be required to own weapons and stand ready to defend the com-pound if society collapses.

The proposal is called the Citadel and has cre-ated a buzz among folks in this remote logging town 70 miles southeast of Spokane, Wash. The project would more than double the population of Benewah County, home to 9,000 souls.

Locals have many ques-tions, but organizers so far are pointing only to a web-site billing the Citadel as “A Community of Liberty.”

“There is no leader,” Christian Kerodin, a con-victed felon who is a pro-moter of the project, wrote in a brief email to The As-sociated Press. “There is a significant group of equals involved ... each bringing their own professional skills and life experiences to the group.

“It is very much a ‘grass-roots’ endeavor,”’ Kerodin wrote, declining to provide any additional details.

Such communities are hardly new, especially in northern Idaho, which has long been a magnet for those looking to shun main-stream society because of its isolation, wide-open spaces and lack of racial di-versity. For three decades, the Aryan Nations oper-ated a compound about an hour north of here before the group went bankrupt and the land was sold.

Then came another com-munity known as “Almost Heaven,” founded in 1994 by Green Beret-turned-”patriot” movement leader Bo Gritz for those wanting a refuge from urban ills and Y2K concerns. That proj-ect crumbled when large numbers of buyers failed to move to the develop-ment, located 100 miles to the south.

The number of so-called patriot groups has grown since President Barack Obama was first elected, and the renewed debate over gun control is further deepening resentment of the federal government among such factions, said Mark Potok, a spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC tracks such groups.

Nevertheless, Potok not-ed, plans for these sorts of communities rarely come to fruition.

“The people behind the Citadel are like 12-year-old boys talking about the tree house, or the secret under-ground city, they’re going to build some day,” he said.

The website shows

drawings of a stone fortress with room inside for up to 7,000 families. The com-pound would include hous-es, schools, a hotel and a fire-arms factory and museum. The gun factory, the website said, would manufacture semi-automatic pistols and AR-15 rifles — which would be illegal if Congress rein-stated the 1994 ban on as-sault weapons.

Applicants must pay a $208 fee, and the website claims several hundred people already have ap-plied to live in the Citadel.

The site also warns that not all would be comfort-able at the development.

“Marxists, Socialists, Liberals and Establishment Republicans will likely find that life in our community is incompatible with their existing ideology and pre-ferred lifestyles.”

No construction has be-gun. Kerodin filed papers with the Idaho Secretary of State in November for a company called Citadel Land Development. III Arms LLC, which is the

name of the proposed fire-arms company, also has purchased 20 acres of land in Benewah County, the county auditor said.

The Citadel website said those 20 acres would serve as an administrative

site from which to build the entire 2,000- to 3,000-acre compound.

Kerodin, who declined requests for a telephone interview, was convicted

in 2004 of federal extor-tion charges and illegal possession of a firearm in a case in which he posed as a counterterrorism expert and attempted to coerce

shopping mall owners in the Washington, D.C., area to hire him to improve se-curity, according to court documents. He served 30 months in federal prison.

While the conviction makes it illegal for Kero-din to possess a firearm, residents of the Citadel would be required to own guns and to pledge to train together and use them if the compound were at-tacked. Residents would also be required to stock enough food and water to last a year.

In St. Maries, a logging community of 2,600 people that is the Benewah Coun-ty seat, townspeople had plenty of questions about the proposed development.

“This is Podunk, Ida-ho,” said resident Wanda Wemhoff. “What are they defending themselves against?”

But County Commis-sioner Bud McCall wasn’t concerned, calling the Citadel little more than a “pie in the sky thing.” “As far as I know,” he said, “it hasn’t gone anywhere.”

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder thataffects the large intestine (colon) and causes cramping,abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation.Despite these uncomfortable signs and symptoms, mostpeople with IBS find that symptoms improve as they learn tocontrol their condition. Only a small number of people withirrtable bowel syndrome have disabling signs and symptoms.Fortunately, unlike more-serious intestinal diseases suchas ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, irritable bowelsyndrome doesn’t cause inflammation or changes in bowelissue or increase your risk of colorectal cancer. In manycases, you can control irritable bowel syndrome by managingyour diet, lifestyle and stress. Some studies have found thatprobiotics may relieve symptoms of IBS, such as abdominalpain and bloating. Ask us to recommend a quality probioticproduct.

how to navigate the vari-ous agencies, Mattingly said.

As of Monday, more than 86 vendors have been invited and the list continues to grow, she said. Vendors represent-ing educational, employ-ment, financial, health and service-related resources will be available.

“We proposed to do re-source fairs because we want to help these heroes,” she said. “They sacrifice so much and their families sacrifice so much that this is just a way of saying we are here in the community and we want to help.”

Through a proposal to sponsor the fairs for the next three years, the Audubon Area Retired and Senior Volunteer Program secured a $7,000 federal grant from the Corpora-tion for National and Com-munity Service. It was one of 16 agencies in the nation to receive funding,

Mattingly said.The fairs in Owensboro

and Henderson will be simi-lar, but some vendors aren’t available to make both. The events are free and open to anyone in surrounding counties, including south-ern Indiana, she said.

There will be door priz-es and refreshments. En-tertainment for children is also available so parents are free to visit with ven-dors, Mattingly said.

A number of volunteers are helping out at the fairs to provide refreshments, serve as guides and en-tertain the kids, but more volunteers are still needed.

People interested in vol-unteering must be at least 55 years old, but they do not have to be former military or from a military family. Those who sign up to vol-unteer will be eligible for RSVP program benefits, which include supplemen-tal liability insurance.

To inquire about vol-unteering or to serve as a vendor, call the agency’s toll-free number at 888-683-1527.

“They are not permitted off the road with a vehicle.

“A lot of people are pretty excited about this. It’s something we’ve never had in our county.”

Anglers who are re-quired to have a fishing license must have a trout permit to keep the fish. Kids under the age of 16 do not need a fishing license or a permit. Signs posted at each lake detail daily lim-its and size limits of fish.

Trout are readily caught on kernels of corn, red-worms, wax worms or prepared baits fished on the bottom or suspended underneath a bobber. Small in-line spinners are also an effective means to catch trout.

IRVING, Texas — Faced with intense pressure from two flanks, the Boy Scouts of America said Wednesday it needed more time for consultations before de-ciding whether to move away from its divisive policy of excluding gays as scouts or adult leaders.

Possible changes in the

policy — such as a pro-posal to allow sponsors of local troops to decide for themselves on gay mem-bership — will not be voted on until the organization’s annual meeting in May, the national executive board said at the conclusion of closed-door deliberations.

As the board met over three days at a hotel in Irving, near Dallas, it became clear that the proposed change would

be unacceptable to large numbers of Scouting fami-lies and advocacy groups on the left and right. Gay-rights supporters said no Scout units should be al-lowed to exclude gays, while some conservatives, including religious leaders whose churches sponsor troops, warned of mass defections if the ban was eased.

“In the past two weeks, Scouting has received an

outpouring of feedback from the American pub-lic,” said the BSA’s national spokesman, Deron Smith. “It reinforces how deeply people care about Scouting and how passionate they are about the organization.”

Smith said the executive board “concluded that due to the complexity of this issue, the organization needs time for a more de-liberate review of its mem-bership policy.”

“It’s not like anyone writes letters anymore.”

In fact, the Postal Ser-vice has had to adapt to changing times ever since Benjamin Franklin was ap-pointed the first postmaster general by the Continental Congress in 1775. The Pony Express began in 1860, six-day delivery started in 1863, and airmail became the

mode in 1918. Twice-a-day delivery was cut to one in 1950 to save money.

But change is not the biggest factor in the agen-cy’s predicament — Con-gress is. The majority of the service’s red ink comes from a 2006 law forcing it to pay about $5.5 billion a year into future retiree health benefits, some-thing no other agency does. Without that pay-ment — $11.1 billion in a two-year installment last

year — and related labor expenses, the mail agency sustained an operating loss of $2.4 billion for the past fiscal year, lower than the previous year.

Congress also has sty-mied the service’s efforts to close some post offices in small towns.

Under the new plan, mail would be delivered to homes and businesses only from Monday through Fri-day but would still be de-livered to post office boxes

on Saturdays. Post offices now open on Saturdays would remain open.

Over the past several years, the Postal Service has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages — and it repeatedly but unsuccess-fully has appealed to Con-gress to approve the move. An independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressio-nal control.

some government agen-cies, and those cuts remain in effect.

Beshear said the finan-cial woes have negatively affected a broad range of government services, in-cluding public schools, universities, health de-partments, and social ser-vices for the elderly.

A group of experts serving on a commission appointed by Beshear last year proposed a list of tax reforms that would gener-ate nearly $700 million a year in additional revenue for the cash-strapped state. Beshear wants lawmakers to use those recommenda-tions in developing tax leg-islation.

“Some say we don't need

to do anything, because a growing economy and the accompanying revenue will be enough to both pay the bills and create a stron-ger Kentucky,” Beshear said. “My friends, with all due respect, that is simply not reality, and the math shows it. Yes, the economy and our revenues are pro-jected to grow, but not fast enough to even keep up with expenses, much less to address fundamental weaknesses.”

Beshear said lawmakers need to adopt a tax struc-ture that would strengthen Kentucky's ability to com-pete with other states to at-tract and retain jobs while at the same time generat-ing revenue to help restore solvency to the state's pen-sion system for govern-ment retirees.

Beshear said he wants

lawmakers to pass leg-islation to fully fund the state's contribution to the pension system, which eventually could erase a $33 billion unfunded li-ability.

“We have to stop putting off uncomfortable deci-sions for future genera-tions,” he said. "We have to stop pretending that these problems aren't holding us back, because they are."

Some Republicans, in-cluding Rep. David Floyd of Bardstown, interpret-ed Beshear's comments about tax reform to mean he wants to raise taxes on Kentuckians during a time of slow economic re-covery.

“You can't talk about tax reform at one moment and then the need for more in-creases (in) revenue in the next without confessing

that you're pushing tax increases,” he said.

Sen. Robin Webb, D-Grayson, said the propos-als to revamp the tax code and shore up pensions are major undertakings that would likely require more time than lawmakers have left in the current legisla-tive session.

“It wouldn't surprise me if we had to have a special session to come back and deal with that,” she said. "I don't know if the political will is there until you get a package.

Beshear also called on lawmakers to “tweak” a year-old state law that cracked down on prescrip-tion painkiller abuse. The law had some unintended consequences that made it more difficult for some elderly patients to get their medicines.

LEXINGTON — Mark Stoops’ first Kentucky recruiting class shows he still has some pull in Florida.

Convincing two tal-ented in-state players to stay home and help the rebuilding process also demonstrates Stoops’ ap-peal in Kentucky.

Half of Kentucky’s 22 signees announced on Wednesday are from Flor-ida. That’s a significant haul from the Sunshine State, which the former Florida State defensive coordinator promised to scour in his quest to lift Kentucky back to respect-ability following a 2-10 sea-son.

Landing locals such as Louisville Trinity defen-sive end Jason Hatcher and Franklin County (Frank-fort) wide receiver Ryan Timmons also matters to

Big Blue Nation. Hatcher, 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds, backed out of his commit-ment to USC to sign with Kentucky; Timmons, a 5-10 wide receiver, an-nounced he would play for the Wildcats on Tuesday.

Stoops considers the quality of this group as pretty good work, consid-ering he replaced Joker Phillips just over two months ago.

“It was a group effort,” Stoops said of whirlwind recruiting effort. “The staff, that’s a big part of it. The first year it’s impor-tant when you hire guys that they have some con-nections, so that’s a big part of it, guys with rela-tionships that they have had either with players or with coaches.

“We feel we have an aw-ful lot to sell. I would like to thank the BBN, tremen-dous support. I think our recruits felt their presence,

they felt the support of the fan base, so there are a lot of things that go into it. But great effort by our staff, great work ethic and they did a fantastic job.”

While other Southeast-ern Conference schools had recruiting classes rat-ed higher than Kentucky’s, Rivals.com considers the Wildcats’ group their best ever. Players such as Hatcher and Timmons were rated as four-star re-cruits, and Hatcher’s deci-sion to switch from USC to the Wildcats was viewed as a coup considering the program’s moribund re-cent history and overall lower profile compared to other SEC schools.

One of Stoops’ goals was changing that impression in recruiting and the ef-fort landed the Wildcats a dozen offensive players in trying to improve one of the SEC’s worst units last season. That group includes four linemen with three from Florida, but the biggest of the bunch is 6-8, 305-pound Justin Day from Aiken, S.C.

Kentucky’s defensive line was also beefed up with the addition of Jacob Hyde, a 6-2, 330-pounder from Clay County High School in Manchester. That unit included two from Florida — Regie Meant of Cape Coral and Alvonte Bell of Miramar — and junior college transfer Za’Darius Smith (Green-ville, Ala.), who enrolled this semester and will practice this spring.

“There are a lot of great players that come out of Florida,” Stoops said of recruiting in his former state. “It’s probably the way it fell because of our relationships with some of them. So I don’t know if it would be the exact per-centage in the future but I’m not going to put any limitations on it. There is a lot of talent down there but we’re going to work extremely hard to hit ev-erybody we can within a four, five, six hour drive from Lexington.”

Stoops’ philosophy was borne out in a recruit-ing yield that expanded

beyond Kentucky and Florida.

The Wildcats signed three players from Ohio including safety Marcus McWilson from Cardi-nal Mooney High School in Youngstown. Initially committed to Nebraska, McWilson backed out to join Stoops, a fellow Mooney alumnus.

“I asked Marcus the whole time, ‘What’s it feel like to be the second best player to play at Cardinal Mooney High School?,”’ Stoops joked.

Kentucky’s signings of Day and Smith demon-strated Stoops’ ability to reach into SEC territory, an approach that also at-tracted kicker Austin Mac-Ginnis (Prattville, Ala.).

But Stoops’ landing of Hatcher and Timmons was considered a significant step forward for Kentucky since many standout recruits have gone elsewhere. And it might explain why the coach couldn’t contain his glee in starting his head coaching career with two “dynamic” recruits.

LOUISVILLE — Louisville coach Charlie Strong put special emphasis on bol-stering his defense, trying to build on the Cardinals’ successful run to a Sugar Bowl championship.

Ten of the 17 players Strong signed Wednesday play on the defensive side of the ball, including five in the secondary. Eight of the 17 signees are from Flori-da, as Strong continued to have a strong presence in that state.

But the biggest name was on offense, and from the Cardinals’ backyard: Wide receiver James Quick is believed to be Louisville’s highest-rated recruit ever.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound speedster finished his Trinity High School career

as the state’s all-time lead-er in receptions, leading the Shamrocks to three championships. Quick was selected as Kentucky’s Mr. Football and MVP of the U.S. Army All-Amer-ican game, and ranked by Scout.com as the country’s 21st-best player.

The Cardinals stunned Florida 33-23 in the Sugar Bowl to cap an 11-2 season. The Big East champions enter what is expected to be the school’s final season in the conference before moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2014.

“You wanted a big name and to get a big name like Quick was something special,” Strong said of Quick’s Jan. 5 verbal com-mitment during the All-American game. Quick chose Louisville over Ohio State and coach Urban

Meyer, Strong’s former boss at Florida.

Louisville’s large core of returning players forced Strong to be selective in offering limited scholar-ships.

“Even though this class is small in number, these players will make a great contribution to this pro-gram in the near future,” he said.

The Cardinals also stayed in-state for Lexing-ton Catholic’s Kyle Bolin. The 6-3, 185-pound quar-terback injured his knee midway through his se-nior year but is expected to compete, along with fellow signee Brett Nelson, for the backup spot to junior star Teddy Bridgewater.

“We always want to con-trol this city before we go anywhere else — actually, this state,” Strong said.

“Then we have to go off and recruit other places just because of the limited number of players within the state.”

All eight of Louisville’s signees from Florida are slotted for defense. Rich-ard Benjamin of Tampa and Chucky Williams from Hialeah played both ways in high school but are listed as cornerbacks. They join University of Florida transfer Willie Bailey as the Cardinals look to replace graduating All-Big East corner Adrian Bushell, another Gators transfer.

Bailey will sit out the 2013 season per NCAA transfer rules. He, Middle-ton, Nelson enrolled last month and will be able to practice this spring.

Defensive end De’Asian R ic h a rd son f rom

Jacksonville was one of Louisville’s first commit-ments following the Sug-ar Bowl win and is one of three defensive linemen in the class.

“We had notoriety but then that game just really put us out there,” Strong said of the win over then-No. 4 Florida. “We just didn’t go out there and mess around. We beat that team and I think that gained more respect than anything.”

Strong added that sign-ing an eight-year, $29.6 million contract extension last month and Louisville’s move to the ACC provided the stability needed to ink a strong recruiting class and “lets them know that I’m making a commitment to this program and I’m go-ing to be here for the long haul.”

BOWLING GREEN — Bobby Petrino’s first Western Kentucky recruiting class includes 33 players.

Twenty-five prospects signed on Wednesday. The other eight are mid-year enrollees eligible to participate in the Hilltop-pers’ spring practices.

Several recruiting ser-vices ranked WKU’s class in the top half of the Sun Belt Conference. It in-cludes six wide receivers, with three from Kentucky.

Petrino also added depth up front, signing six defensive linemen and eight offensive linemen.

All three of the Hilltop-pers’ signees considered three-star recruits by Ri-vals.com were offensive linemen: Connor Popeck (Itawamba CC, Olive Branch, Miss.), Joe Fennell (South Fort Myers High School, Fla.) and Donald Rocker (Sandalwood High, Jacksonville, Fla.)

Petrino continued West-ern Kentucky’s recruiting in Florida, signing 14 pros-pects from the state. The Hilltoppers also signed five players from Alabama and four from Kentucky.

Petrino said the day went as planned for the Hilltoppers’ coaching staff.

“Some days on Signing Day you’re wheeling and dealing and faxing schol-arships and losing guys,” he said, “but basically today was a little bit un-eventful.”

But the day included a commitment from one player who chose to stay home. Wideout Taywan Taylor, from Louisville’s Pleasure Ridge Park High School, chose WKU over Colorado State in a signing ceremony on Wednesday.

Three of WKU’s in-state signees came from Louis-ville.

Hilltoppers offensive coordinator Jeff Brohm, a former assistant un-der Petrino at Louisville, played a key role in re-cruiting Taylor. Both men have connections through-out Kentucky and specifi-cally in Louisville.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Wayne Blackshear scored a ca-reer-high 19 points and hit a 3-pointer to ignite a 23-2 run early in the sec-ond half that carried No. 11 Louisville to a 68-48 victory over Rutgers on Wednesday.

Russ Smith added 14 points and six rebounds and fellow guard Peyton Siva had nine points and seven assists as the Car-dinals (19-4, 7-3 Big East) won its third straight game by holding Rutgers to a season-low point total.

It was the seventh time they have held an oppo-nent under 50 points this season.

Gorgui Dieng added eight rebounds and six blocked shots as Louis-ville beat Rutgers for the seventh straight time and 11th in 12 meetings.

Eli Carter had 13 points and Myles Mack 12 to lead Rutgers (12-9, 3-7). The Scarlet Knights have lost five in a row and six of seven.

Louisville blew the game open in the first eight-plus minutes of the second half, taking a 21-point lead.

Wally Judge tied the game at 28 for the Scarlet Knights with a dunk on

their first possession, and then it was all Louisville.

Blackshear, who twice scored 18 points this sea-son, broke the tie with a 3-pointer and Siva quick-ly stretched the lead to six with another long-range shot.

Rutgers, which went 4:07 without a point, saw Blackshear add two free throws to push the lead to 36-28. Chane Behanan made it nine with a free

throw and then Smith and Siva had steals in the backcourt to set up two free throws by Smith and a rebound follow by Dieng for a 41-28 advantage.

Austin Johnson ended the drought for Rutgers with an uncontested la-yup before Louisville scored the next 10 points. Siva started the run with a layup, Montrezl Harrell scored on an ally-oop dunk and Luke Hancock and

Smith closed the run with 3-pointers for a 51-30 lead.

That was enough for Rutgers fans, who started to leave the arena with less than 12 minutes to play. Louisville led by as many as 25 in the closing minutes.

Coming off an impres-sive win over then-No. 25 Marquette, Blackshear scored seven straight points to help the Cardi-nals jump to a 12-4 lead.

Louisville never lost the lead, but it was lucky to leave the floor with a 28-26 edge after some very sloppy play.

What was surprising was that the Cardinals led despite getting only seven points from Smith and Peyton on 2 of 7 shooting.

Carter kept Rutgers in the game, scoring 11 points on 4 of 9 shooting. The rest of the team made only five other baskets in the half.

Rick Stenftenagel’s wrestling circle hasn’t always included a trip to Evansville, but it’s going to be part of his last full loop in Saturday’s semistate at the Ford Center.

That’s because the longtime Jasper coach is stepping down after this season, his 34th year in a coaching chair with the Wildcats.

“We’ve had two head coaches in the 45 years of Jasper wrestling,” said Stenftenagel, 56. “It was my coach, Joe Rohleder, for the first 20 years and me for the last 25. It’s been a great ride.”

But it’s also a ride that’s not yet over. Jasper brings eight qualifiers and two al-ternates to the Evansville Semistate, which begins at 9 a.m. Saturday.

The Wildcats had two Bloomington Regional champions in junior 120-pounder Nathan

Schitter and junior 145 Grant Brescher.

Other qualifiers include second-place finisher Ru-ger Kerstiens, a junior 138, four third place finishers in sophomore 106 Dillon Hurst, senior 126 Edgar Chevez, sophomore 160 Cole Krelein and junior 195 Moises Valenciano, plus sophomore 182 Ian Songer with a fourth place.

The alternates with a shot to wrestle are senior 152 Kirk Stenftenagel, the coach’s youngest son, and freshman 113 Tommy Brock.

“Kirk’s why I stayed through this season,” said

the coach. “It’s been a special run for me and all these seniors. We’ve had a great year.”

“I’m going out pretty good. We set a school re-cord with 21 wins and lost just two to Bloomington South and Mater Dei. We set a Southridge Sectional record with 286.5 points and won by 81 points, which was another sec-tional record.

“Plus, this senior class won four sectionals and four Big Eight Conference titles. We’ve got a positive outlook. We know this is a really good team. We’re looking to prove that, too.”

The veteran leader also liked the new tournament format with wrestle backs for fifth place, as a coach and father.

“Kirk came back through wrestle backs and was able to win a couple matches,” he said. “It set him up to maybe wrestle

Saturday if somebody can’t go, but if not he won his last two matches.

“That’s pretty good. He was born with a heart con-dition and had open-heart when he was two weeks old and spent the first five weeks of his life in Riley Hospital. Then he came back and was able to com-pete. This last year was important to both of us.”

Rick Stenftenagel said he was looking forward to the next two weekends.

“We went to Bloom-ington this year which I think is the first time since I wrestled,” said the coach who was Jasper’s first state qualifier and place finisher (fourth). “We haven’t al-ways gone to Evansville for the semistate, but we enjoyed going to Roberts Stadium, a great venue, and now the Ford Center. I might wear two pairs of socks Saturday, though. It’s cold in there.”

Jerry Bengston took advantage of a defensive mix-up to score the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute, and Honduras rallied to beat the United States 2-1 Wednesday in the opener of the final qualifying round for next year’s World Cup.

Clint Dempsey put the U.S. ahead in the 36th minute but the Americans, using a new-look defense that featured Omar Gon-zalez and Timmy Chan-dler, gave up the lead when Juan Carlos Garcia tied the score with a bicycle kick in the 40th at San Pedro Sula.

Bengston, who plays for Major League Soccer’s New England Revolution, scored the winner when defender Geoff Cameron and goalkeeper Tim How-ard both went for a pass by Maynor Figueroa to Oscar

Boniek Garcia. That al-lowed Garcia to tap the ball across to Bengston for a shot into an open net, and Gonzalez was too late to challenge him.

Playing without Land-on Donovan, a veteran of

three World Cups who is unsure whether to con-tinue his career, the 28th-ranked U.S. was under pressure for much of the match. No. 59 Honduras had the better chances, forcing Howard into sev-eral difficult saves.

Gonzalez had a chance to redeem himself, getting his head on a corner kick by Graham Zusi in the fi-nal seconds of stoppage time. But his shot from the 6-yard box sailed well above the crossbar.

The U.S., which had been 12-3-3 against Hon-duras, lost its final-round opener for the first time in five games since the “hexagonal” format was adopted in qualifying for the 1998 tournament.

The Americans are seeking their seventh straight trip to soccer’s showcase.

Nadal wins in singles return

VINA DEL MAR, Chile — Rafael Nadal rebounded from a poor start to defeat Fed-erico Delbonis of Argen-tina 6-3, 6-2 on Wednesday in the second round of the VTR Open.

It was his first singles match since losing in Wimbledon more than seven months ago.

Nadal won in doubles on Tuesday with partner Juan Monaco, but the singles de-but was a bigger test for the Spaniard and his injured left knee, which kept him away from the competitive game since June 28.

The seven-time French Open champion said Tues-day he’s tired of answering questions about his knee and must adjust to playing with the pain.

Packers’ Driver calls it a career

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Donald Driver rewrote the Green Bay Packers record books and on Wednesday morn-ing, the wildly popular wide receiver might’ve rewritten the book on how a player should call it a career.

Officially retiring after 14 seasons — all with the Packers — the franchise’s all-time leading receiver celebrated his career dur-ing an unprecedented event inside the Lambeau Field atrium with 1,500 fans, his family, Packers coaches, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Green Bay mayor Jim Schmitt and a handful of teammates.

Driver retires after catching 743 passes for 10,137 yards, making the team as a seventh-round draft pick out of Alcorn State in 1999.

Gasol has tear in right foot

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Pau Gas-ol has been diagnosed with a tear of the plantar fascia of his right foot a day after he said he felt a pop in the foot during the Lakers’ vic-tory over the Nets.

The Lakers said Wednesday that an MRI revealed the injury.

The team said the results will be sent to team doctors in Los Angeles for analysis and that Gasol will return Thursday to be examined by team physician Dr. Steve Lombardo and foot special-ist Dr. Kenneth Jung. The Lakers say they will give a timeline for Gasol’s return after the examination.

Rockies’ Helton arrested on DUI

DENVER — Five-time All-Star Todd Helton has been arrested on a charge of driv-ing under the influence.

The Colorado Rockies first baseman was arrested at about 2:30 a.m. Wednes-day in the Denver suburb of Thornton.

In a statement released by the Rockies, Helton says he is embarrassed and apolo-gized to his family, the team and the community.

Helton is a career .320 hitter. The 39-year-old played only 69 games last year before undergoing hip surgery in August. He is expected to return for his 17th season this year.

For years, Tom Wal-lisch’s focus in skiing was more about fun than fame or fortune.

An otherworldly video and a surprise decision from Olympic leaders changed his perspective.

Wallisch, the 2012 Win-ter X Games champion in slopestyle skiing, hopes to be among the new faces to watch on the U.S. team when the Sochi Games start a year from Thurs-day, bringing with them the debut of skiing events on the slopestyle course and in the superpipe.

“The whole thing’s a little surreal,” the 25-year-old Wallisch said of his sport’s fast-tracked inclu-sion onto the world’s big-gest sports stage. “I defi-nitely had not expected it. But it’s good news.”

Well known inside his sport’s circles, Wallisch does some sponsorship work with North Face and has other endorsement deals. But he has consid-erable ground to cover to get into the same strato-sphere with, say, Shaun White, Bode Miller or Lindsey Vonn, who hopes she’ll be recovered from her season-ending knee and leg injuries in time to be at full strength for 2014.

Still, the potential is there for the Pittsburgh native, even if he didn’t fully recognize it at first.

Wallisch put on his first

pair of skis on at age 3, learned to ski at a small resort in Maryland called Wisp and, like so many daredevil athletes in the making, spent some out-door time doing jumps off the roof of his parents’ house.

Not until 2006, when a company in search of the next, great up-and-coming freestyle skier asked can-didates to make videos showing what they could do, did Wallisch truly re-alize his potential. In one video, Wallisch works his way down the mountain, effortlessly gliding over rails, twisting and flipping off the ramps on the slope-style course.

“I did the video and people out there were watching it and labeling it things like, ‘If Jesus Skied,’ and other stuff like that,” Wallisch said. “I thought ‘Whoa. These people think I deserve to be a pro skier. I guess I could try that. I might have to try a little harder at this.”’

Thus, a career on both the filming and competi-tion sides of freestyle ski-ing was born.

Wallisch moved to Utah, where he had more time to work on his craft. The effort culminated in a gold medal in Aspen at last year’s Winter X Games, which came only a few months after slopestyle got a somewhat unexpected invite to join the Olympics.

“We were thinking it could be another four,

eight years before we ever got this chance, and we were fine with that,” Wal-lisch said. “There were no slopestyle athletes push-ing to get into the Olym-pics. It’s something we’ve done for a long time and we love it.”

In their latest push to bring a younger audience to their games, Olympic organizers added the ski events and also brought snowboard slopestyle in for the 2014 Games. The addition of snowboard slopestyle gives White, the two-time defending champion on the halfpipe, a chance to win another

medal and entertain fans for more than just one eve-ning during the Olympic fortnight.

“It’s humbling. It’s cool,” White said. “If I can bring attention to the sport and help it along, that’s excit-ing for me. Going back and doing a third time around in the halfpipe would’ve been fun and exciting but not nearly as exciting as it’s going to be to compete in both.”

With a year to go, White does not yet look like a shoo-in for the slopestyle gold. He finished fifth at the X Games, while 19-year-old Canadian

Mark McMorris took his second straight gold.

A tireless worker who increased the difficulty of his halfpipe routine by adding his double-flipping, 1260-degree-turning trick before the last Olympics, White conceded after his most recent loss, “I’ve got some work to do in the slopestyle department.”

And Vonn? The defending Olympic

champion in the down-hill is looking at about an eight-month recovery once she’s through with surgery on torn ligaments in her right knee. That would give her plenty of time to be ready for Russia. But her wipeout in Austria earlier this week certainly changed the dynamics of the 365-day lead-up to the Sochi Games.

“That was difficult for all of us because she’s such a great champion,” said her teammate and rival, Julia Mancuso, who added two silver medals at the last Olympics to go with the gold she won in 2006.

At almost every venue in Sochi, the resort in the Caucusus Mountains the Russians are spending upwards of $51 billion to develop for the Games, the U.S. team will have medal contenders.

Expected to be among them: White and Kelly Clark in snowboarding; Meryl Davis and Charlie White in ice dancing; the men’s and women’s hockey teams; Vonn, Mancuso, Ted Ligety and Miller in Alpine; defending bobsled champi-on Steven Holcomb; Shani Davis and Heather Richard-son in speedskating.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Lee Westwood still doesn’t know why his father took him to the golf course.

He played just about every other sport in Eng-land when he was 12, such as football, cricket and rugby. He used to go fish-ing with his father, but the fish weren’t biting, mainly because Westwood kept throwing stones into the water. So off they went to a golf course called Kilton Forest, neither of them having ever so much as swung a club.

Westwood was hooked.

“I turned pro at 19 and came on tour, and he was still a 12 handicap, so I can’t understand the rea-sons for that,” Westwood said. “He went to every lesson that I’ve had, drove me there and sat there and listened to it. I just got a bit better than him. Must be down to talent or some-thing like that. I must have my mom’s talent for golf.”

Westwood was par-ticularly sharp with his dry humor Wednesday at Pebble Beach, where it’s easy to be in a good mood when the landscape is colored with a blue sky, green grass, white surf and a blazing sun.

He is making his first start on the PGA Tour, and this week is a reminder to the 39-year-old Westwood where his career all start-ed.

It was his mother, a po-diatrist, who bought a set of golf clubs from a patient in case her son wanted something to do while on holiday from school. It was his father, a math teacher, who had the idea of going to the golf course for the first time.

Nearly 30 years later, Westwood has put to-gether quite the career. He reached No. 1 in the world, ending the five-year reign of Tiger Woods in October

2010. He has won the Or-der of Merit twice on the European Tour. He has played on eight Ryder Cup teams.

Perhaps it’s only fitting that Westwood goes back to his roots at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am by playing with his fa-ther.

John Westwood told the UK version of Golf World that they both shot some-where in the neighbor-hood of 180 that first day at Kilton Forest. On the third day, Westwood chipped in for his first birdie, and then his father made a long putt on the same hole for his first birdie.

By Danika KirkaAssociated Press

LONDON — U.S. and U.K. authorities fined the Royal Bank of Scotland more than $610 million Wednesday for its role in the manipulation of a key global interest rate — with the bank pledging to make the rate-riggers and their managers foot the bill.

RBS is the third major bank caught up in an in-ternational scandal over banks’ setting the rate. The London interbank offered

rate, or LIBOR, provides the basis for trillions of dollars in contracts around the world, including mort-gages, bonds and consum-er loans.

In its statement, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said it found that as recently as 2010 and dating back to 2006, RBS employees “made hundreds of at-tempts” to rig the yen and Swiss franc LIBOR, as well as making false LIBOR submissions to benefit its trading positions.

U.S. and UK regulators fined RBS more than $460 million for rate-rigging. Meanwhile, a unit of RBS agreed to plead guilty in a Department of Justice

investigation and accepted a penalty of $150 million. It will cooperate in the U.S. government probe.

The investigations by the three organizations uncovered wrongdoing by 21 members of RBS’s staff — all of whom have either left the company or a sub-ject to disciplinary pro-ceedings. The bank, which is 80 percent owned by the British government after it was bailed out in the 2008 banking crisis, has said it will pay the fines by can-celling the 2012 bonuses

and clawing back money from previous bonuses of the staff involved — as well as supervisors with accountability for the busi-ness.

“LIBOR manipulation is an extreme example of a selfish and self-serving culture that took hold in parts of the banking in-dustry during the financial boom,” said RBS chief ex-ecutive Stephen Hester in a statement.

“We will use the lessons learned from this episode as further motivation to

reject and change the ves-tiges of that culture.”

The action against RBS “demonstrates yet another clear case of a bank falsely reporting and attempting to manipulate or success-fully manipulating bench-mark rates to increase trading profits,” CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler said in a statement.

“Such false reporting of benchmark rates un-dermines the integrity of markets and shakes the public’s trust in our finan-cial system.”

Hackers breach Fed website

The Federal Reserve says an internal website was briefly breached by hackers but no critical Fed operations were affected.

The Fed says the web-site contained contact in-formation for more than 4,000 banking executives, including office and cell phone numbers.

Fed spokeswoman Lisa Oliva says the hackers had exploited a “temporary vulnerability” in the web-site. She says the exposure has been fixed, the execu-tives have been informed of the breach and it is no longer an issue. N e W YO r k

Time Warner 4Q earnings up

Time Warner Inc. said Wednesday that net in-come grew 51 percent in the last three months of 2012 even as revenue was largely unchanged. Rising fees from cable and satel-lite companies and higher ad revenue at the TV net-works offset revenue de-clines at the movie studio and magazine businesses.

Time Warner said net income was $1.17 billion, or $1.21 a share, for the fourth quarter, up from $773 mil-lion, or 76 cents a share, a year earlier.

Adjusted for one-time items, earnings came to $1.17 per share. That beat the $1.10 per share that an-alysts surveyed by FactSet expected. Revenue edged down to $8.16 billion from $8.19 billion a year ago. Analysts expected revenue of $8.22 billion.L O U I S V I L L e , k Y.

Bourbon, whiskey sales up in 2012

Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey had another sales spike in 2012, led by pricier premium brands.

Figures released by the Distilled Spirits Council show bourbon and Ten-nessee whiskey sales

from producers or sup-pliers to wholesalers rose 5.2 percent to 16.9 million cases last year. Revenue increased 7.3 percent to $2.2 billion.

The Kentucky Distill-ers’ Association says there are more bourbon barrels aging in Kentucky than people living in the state.WA S H I N G T O N

FDA warns of fake batch of cancer drug

The Food and Drug Administration is warn-ing doctors about another counterfeit version of the cancer drug Avastin dis-tributed in the U.S., the third case involving the best-selling Roche drug in the past year.

The FDA said in an on-line post that at least one batch of the drug distribut-ed by a New York distribu-tor does not contain the active ingredient in real Avastin, which is used to treat cancers of the colon, lung, kidney and brain.

The agency warned doctors last April about a similar case of fake Turk-ish Avastin distributed by a U.K. distributor. WO O N S O ck e T, r . I .

CVS Caremark’s profit up 6 percent

CVS Caremark’s fourth-quarter earnings climbed 6 percent, as new custom-ers and Medicare prescrip-tion drug plans helped its pharmacy benefits man-agement business, and revenue from the chain’s established stores grew.

The company said Wednesday it earned $1.13 billion, or 90 cents per share, in the three months that ended Dec. 31. That compares with earnings of $1.06 billion, or 81 cents per share, in the same pe-riod in 2011.

Adjusted earnings to-taled $1.14 per share, while revenue climbed nearly 11 percent to $31.39 billion.

Analysts expected, on average, earnings of $1.10 per share on $31.14 billion in revenue, according to FactSet.

NEW YORK — Stocks were flat on Wall Street as the latest round of earnings reports failed to give in-vestors an impetus to push the market’s recent rally forward.

The Dow Jones industri-al average rose 7.22 points to 13,986.52 on Wednesday,

after trading slightly lower for most of the day. The Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 0.83 point to 1,512.12. The Nasdaq composite was three points lower at 3,168.48

Stocks are consolidating their gains after surging since the start of the year. The Dow closed above 14,000 for the first time

since December 2007 Fri-day and had its best Janu-ary in almost two decades. The index is up 6.7 percent this year; the broader S&P 500 is 6 percent higher.

“There’s no question that we need to take a pause and let reality catch up,” said Jim Russell, an in-vestment director at U.S. Bank.

Advice6B » Thursday, February 7, 2013 » T H E G L E A N E R

Dear Amy: I have been in a serious relationship with my girlfriend for over a year now. Our relation-ship has been very strong because we seem so good for each other.

My girlfriend revealed that several months ago, she had a conversation with an ex. It was not sex-ual, but he was a big part of her life for a long time, and she felt the need to have a conversation with him re-garding her feelings.

I don’t like that she waited several months to reveal this. I had made it clear that I wish to know about any dealings with him, and she lied to me for months through omission.

Since the time she came clean, I have lost some trust. I looked through her phone several times to see if they have been continu-ing their conversations. She occasionally looks through my phone too, and I don’t have a problem with that because I have noth-ing to hide.

I saw there was a text conversation between

them recently. It was platonic but she hadn’t mentioned it to me. I now realize she feels my look-ing through her phone is a violation of privacy (even though she looks at mine). I respect this and won’t do it again.

There is now an under-lying resentment on both sides. I would hate to see what is an otherwise won-derful relationship be ru-ined because of this. How can I help resolve this in a healthy way?

— InsecureDear Insecure: Honesty,

disclosure and transpar-ency are important, but you need to decide: Is any contact with this ex a deal

breaker, even if you know your girlfriend is not re-viving a relationship with him? If so, you better make it crystal clear to her.

And if the relationship is over, then how many conversations must they have before they run out of things to say to each other? She needs to disclose her intentions.

You must then do a very challenging thing: Choose to trust. Tell your girlfriend, “It’s obvious that your contact with him hurts me. I’d like you to keep that in mind.” Af-ter that, stay out of each other’s phones. With no evidence of cheating, this surveillance seems more

like a trigger than a cure.Dear Amy: Your answer

to “Divorced Dad” was off base. Dad did not give up his obligations to his chil-dren just because he di-vorced their mom. When “grandma” dies, he should be available to emotionally support his kids. Everyone is “uncomfortable” at a fu-neral, so it is not a reason to skip the event.

— Son of a Divorced DadDear Son: I appreciate

your perspective — and correction. Thank you.

Contact with ex putting strain on couple’s relationship

Dear Dr. Roach: My neighbor had to change dentists. Her initial exam with the new doctor re-sulted in full-face X-rays.

She objected, but was told they were low-dos-age and would present no problems. Six to eight X-rays were taken.

She is concerned about radiation. Can you com-ment on this? Does she need to be concerned?

— V.M.Dear V.M.: X-rays in-

crease cancer risk, so it

makes sense to avoid any unnecessary exposure. But you can’t completely eliminate exposure to ra-diation.

Every year, we are ex-posed to natural radiation — in the air, in food and water and from space — of about 3 millisieverts.

A typical dental X-ray is

about 0.005 millisieverts — about the same you get in one day’s worth of nor-mal living.

So you and your neigh-bor can be reassured that the radiation dose from the dental X-rays has a very small risk.

Other medical X-rays have much larger radia-tion dosages; for example, a CT scan could be 10 to 20 millisieverts, which is the equivalent of up to seven years of natural radiation, or about 4,000 dental X-rays.

A CT scan may well be worth it, since the risk of cancer is still very low. But it still makes sense for us as physicians to consider the risk of radiation any-time we order an X-ray or CT scan.

It may helpful to know that the limit for workers for radiation exposure is 50 millisieverts.

Movie times

HoroscopeTODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 7). You’ll aim high and for reasons much larger than your own personal gain. This month will present a tough decision. Make things easy on yourself. Trying to be perfect is futile. You’ll be accepted and celebrated for being exactly who you are. Invest in a hobby, and it pays you back. July features a romantic proposal. Sagittarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 24, 3, 13 and 50.ARIES (March 21-April 19). Hopefully you’re not trying to hide or slip under the radar, because that won’t work out for you today. You’ll command the spaces you inhabit. Everyone will know where you are and respond in kind.TAURUS (April 20-May 20). From time to time, you get so busy that you can’t watch your favorite shoes, read your magazines or talk to friends. Later, you’ll luxuriate in the resulting buildup of information and entertainment.GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If your outsides don’t match your insides, don’t worry; you’re not alone. Everyone pretends to some degree. It’s the way of all social animals. You will navigate the complexities of this behavior quite well today.CANCER (June 22-July 22). The prospect of unpredictable interactions may scare you. Just know that your desire to control what happens is normal. Futile, but normal. Truly wonderful things will happen when you relax into an improvisational mode.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in a staring contest with a metaphorical or actual blank page. The very fact that you can sense the eyeball of said page is proof that it’s not really blank, after all. There’s something inside it, awaiting your discovery.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be prone to impulsiveness and could channel this in an extremely positive way by putting yourself in low-risk situations that call for fast decisions — like ordering food at a restaurant or picking out books at the library.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are givers, and there are takers. Some people you like very much fall into the “takers” category, and there is no denying it. You’re wise to go into every interaction knowing what you are and are not willing to part with.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Once your basic needs are met, it’s easy to see everything else as bonus luck. You recognize the extras as treats instead of taking them for granted, and so your fortunes multiply.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be in just the mood to entertain silly suggestions and ridiculous dares. Also, you will find out that the friends you consider to be your best feel the same way about you.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Avoid accepting someone else’s purpose as your own. Happiness is knowing your reasons. Happiness and satisfaction depend on your ability to answer this question: Why?AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Success depends on many factors, but attitude is the most important one today. Your uncanny ability to stay focused and flexible at the same time will help now, too.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The saying goes that you can never have too many friends. But beyond a certain number, how could you possibly spend time with them all? Keep reaching out to new people anyhow. You’ll do together what you couldn’t do alone.

Dear Rev. Graham: Our pastor said the other day that we ought to be glad when problems come, be-cause we’ll become better persons as a result.

I’m not sure I agree with him. Why would God put us into hard situations?

— Mrs. D.P.Dear Mrs. D.P.: Your pas-

tor was only echoing what the Bible tells us about troubles, namely, that God can use them to make our faith stronger and draw us closer to Himself.

The Bible says, “Consid-er it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds ... so that you may be mature and com-plete” (James 1:2, 4).

Think of it this way: Suppose you never got any physical exercise; all you did was sit in your chair or lie in bed all day. What would happen to your muscles?

You know the answer:

They’d grow weaker and weaker, and eventually you might not even be able to get out of bed.

Our muscles only be-come strong if we exercise them and challenge them to do more.

The more resistance they face, the stronger they’ll get.

The same is true spiri-tually. If our faith is never challenged ... if we never have to put it to work ... then our spiritual “mus-cles” will grow weaker and weaker.

But when hardships and trials come into our lives,

we’ll be forced to exercise those spiritual “muscles” — and when we do, our faith will grow stronger. We’ll discover that God still loves us and is with us, and He can be trusted to lead us through life’s storms.

The Bible says, “We know that suffering pro-duces perseverance; per-severance, character; and character, hope” (Romans 5:3-4).

Thank God that He will never abandon you, no matter what comes your way. And when hard times do come, turn to Him and ask Him to use them to help you grow in your faith.

Problems can help make faith stronger

Dear Heloise: Whether you purchase something in a store or by mail order, be sure to save the original box that the item came in for at least a short time.

Until you use the item, you may not know if you want to keep it. By saving the box, you will be able to return the item (especially by mail) if you don’t like it or it doesn’t work.

If you have the storage available in your home, consider saving boxes a little longer. If you know that you are going to move, electronics are one item in particular that it’s great to be able to repackage in the original box for protection.

— Andrew G. in UtahDear Heloise: Here is my

hint for freshening up pil-lows: Toss some clean ten-nis balls, your pillows and

a fabric-softener sheet into the dryer for 10 minutes.

Setting the dryer on the “medium” heat setting en-sures that any and all dust mites will be killed. This is a great help for those who suffer from allergies while also extending the longev-ity of your pillows.

— Helen W., via emailDear Heloise: Before

giving away magazines, I put a small strip of trans-parent tape over the ad-dress, press and lift off the address. No more cutting or inking out the name and address. This method also works when a mistake is made on envelopes and packages. Just fit the size of tape to the error made.

Gleaner Jr. Celebrating young people’s achievements, creativity and vision

T H E G L E A N E R « Thursday, February 7, 2013 « 7B

As part of National Career and Technical Education Month during February, The Gleaner is printing short essays written by Henderson County High School students who are currently en-rolled in Career and Technical Education classes.

The students write about the classes they are taking and explain how the coursework is helping them find jobs now and also better preparing them for college.

The “CTE Young Voices” project will continue through-out February in The Gleaner Jr.

Caitlyn Buckman, a sophomore in visual communications

I am 17 years old, but still 17 years young with ambitions brighter than any light bulb un-der the sun. I’ve currently been taking the Visual Communica-tions 2 course the CTE program has in our tech unit. CTE classes do a wonderful job at actually creating a work environment and a college atmosphere, as schools should.

Creativity and encouragement

to thrive is constantly circling these halls. I’m dead set on pur-suing graphic design and pho-tography as long as my bones and imagination will allow me.

Jessica Reinitz, a senior in health science

Growing up I always thought I wanted to be a neurosurgeon, but after my four years in high school as a Career and Techni-cal Education unit student, I’ve come to learn a lot about the health-care field and my career possibilities.

Senior CTE students have the opportunity of doing clinicals in health-care fields that interests them. I’ve had the chance to shad ow different employees through-out the hospital, particularly from the wound clinic and the laboratory. Being able to see and experience things firsthand has allowed me to learn more about myself.

I’m currently looking into do-ing HIV/AIDs research and can’t

wait to continue my education at Purdue University in the fall.

Aaron Dorris, a senior in business and marketing

I aspire to have a sole propri-etorship. Owning my own busi-ness is my long-term goal. I want to be a leader in the community, helping the local economy by creating jobs.

My experiences with my busi-ness and marketing courses and involvement in Distributive Education Clubs of America have prepared me by giving me the opportunity to work with “potential clients” in real-life business scenarios at the DECA competitions, sitting face-to-face in front of a judge who is listen-ing to my financial advice and evaluating my leadership skills, financial and marketing exper-tise. DECA and my marketing courses have prepared me to pursue my goals.

Jessica Durbin, a senior in health science

During my four years at the high school, I surrounded my studies with nursing classes of-fered by the Career and Techni-cal Education Unit, which will benefit my future.

The CTE unit offers a Medic-aid nurse aide class and by pass-ing the exam at the end of the year, I became a state registered nurse aide. Having this certifi-cation, I am able to work at Red-banks, which will help pay my way through college. I am very thankful for the CTE Unit.

Jacob Beard, a sophomore in automotive

I absolutely love working on cars. I currently work at Happy Trails Trucking owned by Char-lie and Steve Buckman. I work on semis and even though we don’t work on diesels in Auto Tech, the class still helps me at work.

Though diesels are very dif-ferent from gasoline vehicles, there are still components that are the same. This allows me to not have to be taught so much at work. Many thanks to God and Mr. Herschelman.

Allison Reid, a senior in health science

This past January I turned 18 and am proud to say that due to my time in the health science program, I am now a certified nursing assistant. Upon complet-ing this program, I will be ready to enter the work force straight out of high school.

My chosen field of nursing requires extra schooling, but this is a great start. My teachers have prepared me well and I am excited to continue into a health-care career.

Hunter Floyd, a junior in welding The career I am interested at

this time is welding technology. My welding class is preparing me for a career by teaching me how to do oxy/fuel procedure SMAW, GMAW and GTAW. I have also done fabrication proj-ects like making a memorial

statue to be placed in the garden area.

We are currently working to-wards my DOT structural steel certification, which upon com-pletion I will leave high school with this.

This will help with my un-derstanding of the construction of building bridges and metal building frames.

Jake Walker, a senior in business and marketing

My career goal is to become a futures trader and open an in-vestment firm. I want to provide clients excellent customer ser-vice and create profitable invest-ments regardless of economic conditions.

My CTE classes of Account-ing 1, Financial Services/Bank-ing, AP Statics, AP Microeco-nomics and AP Macroeconomics have allowed me to earn nine hours of college credit and apply theoretical knowledge to real life applications in Colonels’ Corner Bank!

I’ll be ready immediately to take classes for my ma-jors in finance and account-ing and start my investment firm once out of college.

A Henderson County High School junior has been selected to represent Kentucky as a national youth delegate at the 2013 Washing-

in environmental science and con-servation.

Hazelwood was chosen based on accomplishments and a dem-onstrated interest and excellence in leadership in the sciences and conservation studies, according to a news release.

The Washington Youth Summit on the Environment will be held June 23-28.

The summit offers young schol-ars a chance to meet distinguished faculty and guest speakers and provides direct access to elite D.C. practitioners.

Today in history

The Associated Press

Today is Thursday, Feb, 7, the 38th dayof 2013. There are 327 days left in the year.

Today's highlight in history:On Feb. 7,1943. during World War II, the

government abruptly announced that ra-tioning of shoes made with leather would gointo effect in two days, limiting consumersto buying three pairs per person per year.(Rationing was lifted in October 1945.)

On this date:In 1795, the 11th Amendment to the U.S.

Constitution, dealing with states' sovereignimmunity, was ratified.

In 1812, author Charles Dickens wasborn in Landport, Portsmouth, England.

In 1904, a fire began in Baltimore thatraged for about 30 hours and destroyedmore than 1,500 buildings.

In 1936, President Franklin D. Rooseveltauthorized a flag for the office of the vicepresident.

In 1948, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower re-signed as Army chief of staff; he was suc-ceeded by Gen. Omar Bradley.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy im-posed a full trade embargo on Cuba.

In 1984, space shuttle Challenger astro-nauts Bruce McCandless II and Robert L.Stewart went on the first untethered spacewalk, which lasted nearly six hours.

Ten years ago: Tom Christerson, thelongest-living recipient of a fully self-contained artificial heart, died at JewishHospital in Louisville, Ky., after 512 dayson the AbioCor; he was 71.

Five years ago: John McCain effectivelysealed the Republican presidential nomina-tion as chief rival Mitt Romney suspendedhis campaign. After two months of delay,shuttle Atlantis blasted into orbit with Eu-rope's gift to the international space station,a $2 billion science lab named Columbus.

One year ago: In a setback for Republi-can presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, RickSantorum swept GOP caucuses in Minne-sota and Colorado and a non-binding pri-mary in Missouri. A federal appeals courtruled California's.
