Lugar working to drum up support INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar is keeping a smile on his face as he fights against the growing possibility his Senate career could be nearing its end. Lugar spent Sunday touring northern Indiana and rallying supporters two days before the Indiana Republican primary.

Different ways of learning, different ways of teaching Schools adapt to new learning methods BY MATT GETTS mattg@kpcnews.net

The days of teaching students about dinosaurs by lecturing to a class for 50 minutes has gone, well, the way of the dinosaurs, according to area educators. The reason? More and more, children don’t respond well to lengthy lectures.

“There’s certainly a place for that,” said Jon Willman, superintendent at Hamilton Community Schools. “But a big chunk of kids don’t learn like that.” “Kids do learn differently,” said Lynn Simmers, assistant superintendent at DeKalb Central schools. “Kids also learn at different rates.”

Children learn in three distinct ways, according to numerous websites and educational professionals. A forprofit brain-training company’s website, learningrx.com, identifies and describes the three learning methods as: • Auditory learners would rather listen to things being explained than read about them.

House burns An abandoned home in Auburn was left to burn early Sunday morning after flames were shooting out of the house, according to WANE-TV. The Auburn Fire Department received a call around 1:30 a.m. about a home on fire in the 1000 block of North Indiana

Street. Witnesses said fire crews were battling the fire for some time but then pulled back to let it burn down. Fire crews on scene said the home has been abandoned for many years. No one was injured. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — He’s a smug, Harvard-trained elitist who doesn’t get how regular Americans are struggling these days. More extreme than he lets on, he’s keeping his true agenda hidden until after Election Day. He’s clueless about fixing the economy, over his head on foreign policy. Who is he? Your answer will help decide the next president. Is it Barack Obama, as seen by Mitt Romney? Or Romney, the way Obama depicts him? For all their liberal versus conservative differences, when the two presidential contenders describe each other, they sound like they’re ragging on the same flawed guy. Or mirror images of that guy. Will voters prefer the man waving with his left hand or his right? Blame it on two cautious candidates with more traits in common than their disparate early biographies would suggest. No Drama Obama is panned as professorial and aloof. Romney is deemed boring when he’s not being awkward. Distrusted as too moderate within his own party, each is demonized as a radical by the other side. They don’t get specific about the tough stuff, like budget cuts or taxes, that would invite more precisely calibrated negative ads. Add a presidential contest buried beneath a single issue, the economy, and original lines of attack are scarce. The candidates take jabs anyway. “They’re trying to define each other. That’s what it’s all about,” said Ken Duberstein, chief of staff to President Ronald Reagan. “They’re throwing out different characterizations to see which one resonates.” With quickie Internet videos and instant comebacks via Twitter, “the attack and counterattack is happening in real time,” said political communications expert Kathleen Hall Jamieson. “Campaigns are working to make sure nothing is missed.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The former treasurer of an Indianapolis elementary school’s PTA is facing a preliminary theft charge for allegedly stealing $11,000 intended for student activities. Thirty-four-year-old Candace N. Cadwell was arrested Friday following a four-month investigation by Indiana State Police into the finances of the Parent Teacher Association at Glenns Valley Elementary School. State Police allege that Cadwell took the money over a two-year period while she was the group’s treasurer. Police said that because of the theft, the elementary school had to cancel several annual student events due to the lack of funds.

MOUNT VERNON (AP) — A southwestern Indiana man has been convicted of theft for allegedly stealing money intended to help pay the medical expenses of a young woman who lost her arms and lower legs to meningitis. The Evansville Courier & Press reports that Kenneth Krietemeyer was convicted of theft Thursday following a two-day trial in Posey Superior Court. He’s scheduled to be sentenced June 19. Posey County Deputy Prosecutor Jonathan Parkhurst says Krietemeyer put $3,500 meant for 22year-old Kendra Creek in his personal bank account so he and his wife could qualify for a mortgage. Last August, another person, Mary Gish of Poseyville pleaded guilty to theft for stealing more than $7,000 intended for Creek.

Ryegrass: Good cover crop or weed?

DAVE KURTZ

Shop Local Bazaar Kendra McDaniel serves a coffee sample to a shopper at the first Shop Local Bazaar, Friday night at the National Auto and Truck Museum in Auburn. Several stores and restaurants offered examples of their wares and menu items. McDaniel worked in a booth operated by Jeremiah’s Brewed Awakenings, a coffee shop opening later this month in the 100 block of West Ninth Street, Auburn.

A popular Indiana cover crop has the potential to become a weedy nuisance with economic consequences because of its herbicide resistances, say two Purdue Extension weed science specialists. Annual ryegrass, also known as Italian ryegrass, has some biotypes that are resistant to herbicides, and it has become economically detrimental in the southern and western portions of the U.S. “The spread of this species from a cover crop to a weed is likely if herbicide burndown programs are not successful in controlling annual ryegrass prior to production crop planting and seed that germinates after crop establishment is repeatedly sprayed with glyphosate or other herbicides,” Travis Legleiter said. “Poor control with burndown treatments occurred in our own program at a Purdue research facility ,in which previous escapes of annual ryegrass were not

controlled with 0.75 pounds acid equivalent glyphosate per acre applied at the end of March on 6-8 inch plants.” Legleiter said evaluations two weeks after herbicide application showed the control attempt had failed. Additional applications had to be made. Current ELYSIA Purdue Extension BERRY recommendations are to apply glyphosate to small plants and at an increased rate of 1.5 pounds acid equivalent per acre. Other herbicides to enhance control can be added, depending on the intended crop to be grown. “In a spring like we have experienced this year, annual ryegrass has flourished in the warm temperatures. The likelihood of timely applica-

•

tions to small plants was rare and reduced burndown control,” said Bill Johnson. “Producers who have already made termination treatments to their cover crops need to scout fields and confirm complete death of all cover crops and determine further control practices that need to occur.” Another part of the problem, he said, is that many people confuse ryegrass and rye. There are big differences between annual ryegrass and rye, which refers to cereal rye. Cereal rye has traditionally been grown as a small grains crop that can grow up to 6 feet tall and can be controlled easily with herbicide applications or rolling-crimping operations, Johnson said. Annual ryegrass, on the other hand, is an aggressive winter annual forage-like grass that can grow to 3 feet tall and is very difficult to control with herbicides. “If you are considering cover crops for the future, be

George ‘Goober’ Lindsey dies at age 83 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — George Lindsey, who spent nearly 30 years as the grinning Goober on “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Hee Haw,” has died. He was 83. The Marshall-DonnellyCombs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness. Funeral arrangements were still being made. Lindsey was the beaniewearing Goober on “The Andy Griffith Show” from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, “Mayberry RFD,” from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character — a service station attendant — on “Hee Haw” from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993. “America has grown up with me,” Lindsey said in an Associated Press interview in 1985. “Goober is every man; everyone finds something to like about ol’ Goober.” He joined “The Andy Griffith Show” in 1964 when Jim Nabors, portraying Gomer Pyle, left the program. Goober Pyle, who had been mentioned on the show as Gomer’s cousin, replaced him. “At that time, we were the best acting ensemble on TV,” Lindsey once told an interviewer. “The scripts were terrific. Andy is the best script constructionist I’ve ever been involved with. And you have to lift your acting level up to his; he’s

awfully good.” In a statement released through the funeral home, Griffith said, “George Lindsey was my friend. I had great respect for his talent and his human spirit. In recent years, we spoke often by telephone. Our last conversation was a few days ago … I am happy to say that as we found ourselves in our eighties, we were not afraid to say, ‘I love you.’ That was the last thing George and I had to say to each other. ‘I love you.’” Although he was best known as Goober, Lindsey had other roles during a long TV career. Earlier, he often was a “heavy” and once shot Matt Dillon on “Gunsmoke.” His other TV credits included roles on “MASH,” ”The Wonderful World of Disney,” ”CHIPs,” ”The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour,” ”The Real McCoys,” ”Rifleman,” ”The Alfred Hitchcock Hour,” ”Twilight Zone” and “Love American Style.” Reflecting on his career, he said in 1985: “There’s a residual effect of knowing I’ve made America laugh. I’m not the only one, but I’ve contributed something.” He had movie roles, too, appearing in “Cannonball Run II” and “Take This Job and Shove It.” His voice was used in animated Walt Disney features including “The Aristocats,” ”The Rescuers” and “Robin Hood.” Lindsey was born in

In this Aug. 5, 1985, file photo shows George “Goober” Lindsey, the jovial persona on “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Hee Haw." Lindsey, who spent nearly 30 years as the grinning Goober Pyle, died early Sunday. He was 83.

Jasper, Ala., the son of a butcher. He received a bachelor of science degree from Florence State Teachers College (now the University of North Alabama) in 1952 after majoring in physical education and biology and playing quarterback on the football team. After spending three years in the Air Force, he worked one year as a high school baseball and basketball coach and history teacher near Huntsville, Ala. In 1956, he attended the

American Theatre Wing in New York City and began his professional career on Broadway, appearing in the musicals “All American” and “Wonderful Town.” He moved to Hollywood in the early 1960s and then to Nashville in the early 1990s. “There’s no place in the United States I can go that they don’t know me. They may not know me, but they know the character,” he told The Tennessean in 1980. At that time, he said the Griffith show “was the first soft rural comedy with a moral.” “We physically and mentally became those people when we got to the set.” He did some standup comedy — ending the show by tap and break dancing. One of his jokes: “A football coach, holding a football, asks his quarterback, ‘Son, can you pass this?’ The player says, ‘Coach, I don’t even think I can swallow it.’” Lindsey devoted much of his spare time to raising funds for the Alabama Special Olympics. For 17 years, he sponsored a celebrity golf tournament in Montgomery, Ala., that raised money for the mentally disabled. The University of North Alabama awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1992, and he was affectionately called “Doctor Goober” by acquaintances after that.

Agents working to identify two bodies Could be related to case of missing sisters WHITEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities were working Sunday to identify two bodies found at a Mississippi residence associated with a man suspected of abducting a woman and her three young daughters. The FBI has said two bodies were found over the weekend at a home connected to 35-year-old Adam Mayes in Guntown, Miss., but agents have released few other details. Authorities believe that Mayes abducted the woman, Jo Ann Bain, and her three daughters, ages 8 to 14. On Sunday, forensic scientists with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation searched the garage and backyard at the Hardeman County, Tenn. home where Bain, her husband and their children lived. An Associated Press reporter saw the agents searching before being told to leave the street where the home was located. Bain’s husband declined to comment Sunday. Meanwhile, a Bain family friend said Sunday that the woman and her daughters were moving to Arizona because two of the girls had asthma. Linda Kirkland, a cook at the Country Cafe in Whiteville, Tenn., said that the Bains and their daughters were back in the Whiteville area taking care of some business after a death in the family. Tennessee authorities said the family had not yet moved. Bain had frequented the restaurant and never indicated anything was wrong. “She seemed so happy,” Kirkland said. “Jo Ann and the kids, everyone loves them. We’re just hoping to hear that

they’re safe.” Bain’s daughters are 14year-old Adrienne, 12-yearold Alexandria and 8-yearold Kyliyah. An Amber Alert has been issued for the girls, and Mayes is charged with kidnapping in Tennessee. FBI spokesman Joel Siskovic said Sunday that efforts to identify the bodies continued on Sunday. He would not say if they were children. They were found late Friday night or early Saturday morning. The Bains were last seen April 27 in Hardeman County, Tenn., which is about 70 miles east of Memphis. The woman’s husband reported her missing, and her vehicle was found abandoned. Authorities said Mayes was at the family’s home on the night that Jo Ann Bain went missing late last month. They were trying to determine if Jo Ann Bain went with Mayes willingly. Mayes was last seen Tuesday in Guntown, Miss., about 80 miles southeast of the Bains’ Tennessee home. He’d been described as a family friend. The FBI and U.S. Marshals Service announced Saturday a reward of up to $50,000 for information that leads to the location of the missing victims and the arrest of Mayes. Siskovic said the bodies were found in a residence, but it wasn’t clear if it was a house, mobile home or apartment. He also wasn’t sure if the residence belonged to Mayes or an acquaintance. Siskovic said the bodies were found in Guntown. Siskovic said authorities talked to Mayes early on in the investigation, but he fled when they tried to contact him again. The FBI says agents were not immediately aware of Mayes having a criminal record.

AUBURN — Roselyn Wells will present a program on the history of grave robbing May 14 at the Willennar Genealogy Center. Social time is at 6 p.m., with the meeting at 6:15 p.m. Wells has researched 18th and 19th century grave robbing and will explore the reasons for this phenomenon. She will discuss how people tried to prevent it from happening to their loved ones and whether it really was taking place or whether it was an unfounded fear. She said graveyards are places where families used to gather to mourn but also celebrate and honor their ancestors. This year, Wells researched and wrote the stories for 40 people in DeKalb County featured in the 2012 Tombstone Trail. For more information, call Wells at 925-0384 or email rozwells@mediacombb.net.

France has new ‘accidental president’ PARIS (AP) — Just one year ago, the idea that Francois Hollande would become France’s next president would have been laughed at — even by some of his political allies. Hollande had long been sidelined from France’s national affairs. Longtime friends and colleagues compared him to a jiggly pudding, or the captain of a pedal boat — a way to

suggest he had no political spine. He led the Socialist Party through 11 years — years fraught with divisions and two consecutive presidential defeats. That was before the “Affaire DSK,� the New York sex scandal that engulfed Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the man France’s Socialists were counting on to be their champion in the election

battle with incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy. Now, Hollande will have to show the French, and the world, that he brings the talents of a statesman to the table, not just the fact that he’s not Sarkozy. Hollande, 57, won the presidency in a campaign that reflected his personality — slow and steady. Like the tortoise in Aesop’s fable, he managed to overtake the hyperactive hare in front of him and win the race without ever igniting passions.

Reciting information out loud and having music in the background may be a common study method. Other noises may become a distraction, resulting in a need for a relatively quiet place. • Visual learners learn best by looking at graphics, watching a demonstration or reading. For them, it’s easy to look at charts and graphs, but they may have difficulty focusing while listening to an explanation. • Kinesthetic learners process information best through a “hands-onâ€? experience. Actually doing an activity can be the easiest way for them to learn. Sitting still while studying may be difficult, but writing things down makes it easier to understand. Another website, 4therapy.com, says that today 65 percent of people are visual learners. Willman said that’s a fair number. “That’s going to continue to rise in our society,â€? he said. “We’re much more visually orientated because of technology.â€? 4therapy.com said 30 percent of people are auditory learners, who would benefit most from lectures, with 5 percent being kinesthetic learners. The challenge for educators is to find out what works best for each individual in their classrooms. “It’s difficult,â€? said East Noble superintendent Ann Linson. “You are expected to teach to all of their learning styles. Kids learn in a variety of ways.â€? More and more, public

schools are emphasizing a multi-sensory approach. “We can’t have a teacher in front of class lecturing,� Linson said. “It’s seeing. It’s hearing. It’s feeling.� Such new learning techniques have seen a big push in the last five years or so, Linson said. Bruce Ottenweller, director of the Sylvan Learning Centers in Fort Wayne, said people don’t learn in just one way. “The typical kid does have a particular learning style that may be dominant,� Ottenweller said. “But they can learn other ways.� The Montessori formula for education has long stressed a hands-on approach to education. Judith Cunningham, head of school at Oak Farm Montessori School in Avilla. oversees a school with 204 children, from newborns to eighth grade. The school has 36 teachers, or one for every six students. That ratio allows students to learn at their own pace, and according to Cunningham, it all starts with the youngest students being hands-on. “The hand is the tool of the mind,� Cunningham said. Montessori students get their first introduction to most concepts by touch and feel. Lessons are layered to build on that early knowledge. While school systems including East Noble and Hamilton have gone to a program that puts a computer or technology in every student’s hands, at Oak Farm the philosophy is different. “We don’t push technology,� Cunningham said. “We don’t introduce computers until fourth grade. We teach children how to think critically. If students rely too much on computers, it can limit their critical thinking.� The Montessori philosophy of learning by doing, not by listening to a lecture, is more than 100 years old, Cunningham said. “The basic philosophy has not changed,� Cunningham said. “The core philosophy and method have remained intact.� Public schools have made

their own adjustments more recently. Along with that change has come a difference in the three Rs. In education, the three Rs used to be reading, writing and arithmetic. Today, Linson said, the Rs are relevance, rigor and relationships. Relationships means more meaningful interaction between students and their teachers. In part, this helps the teacher learn what kind of learning he or she is dealing with. Relevance, something greatly espoused by Willman as well, is making the learning meaningful. “The best way kids learn is making real-life connections,� Willman said. “That connectivity is very important.� If a child knows what kind of practical application the lesson has, he or she is more likely to become truly engaged and learn, he said. According to Simmers, teachers find out what works best for students from as early an age as possible. “As soon as they get to kindergarten, we want to get a handle on how they learn,� Simmers said. “Every student has a talent that can be developed.� Rigor, according to Linson, is upping the ante when it comes to thinking. Instead of teachers expecting a one- or two-word answer to a question, it’s about open-ended thinking. “It’s not more work,� Linson said. “It’s higherchallenging work.� Willman said students learn best when teachers “chunk� their time, alternating between lectures and other methods. He said a good rule of thumb is that for every year of a child’s age, the attention span is the equivalent in minutes. A 6year-old student has a sixminute attention span, he explained, and teaching by any one method any longer than that risks losing the child’s focus. With so many students per teacher in public schools, every approach needs to be used, Willman said, to make sure all dominant learning styles are addressed.

Area man killed in accident BY BOB BRALEY bobb@kpcnews.net

SHIPSHEWANA — A Wolcottville man was killed Saturday from injuries sustained when the vehicle he drove hit mailboxes, a parked sport-utility vehicle and some trees, the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Trittipo Department said. Derek R. Trittipo, 34, of Wolcottville was eastbound in the 9000 block of West C.R. 375N at 2:07 a.m. when the 2008 Dodge fourdoor vehicle he drove came in contact with several mailboxes and a parked, unoccupied 2003 Chevy Trailblazer. Trittipo then overcorrected and lost control of the Dodge. It came in contact with several trees after leaving the roadway, then came to rest in the roadway. Trittipo was pronounced dead at the scene. The Indiana State Police assisted at the scene. A complete obituary for Trittipo appears on Page A4.

Detroit Tigers starter Rick Porcello pitches against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. The

Tigers won 3-1.

Home runs power Tigers DETROIT (AP) — Tigers manager Jim Leyland altered the lineup a bit, hoping to boost his team’s offense. Turned out Detroit didn’t need too many runs with Rick Porcello on the mound. Porcello pitched impressively into the seventh inning and Detroit beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 on Sunday. The Tigers left 12 runners on base, but solo homers by Austin Jackson, Prince Fielder and Andy Dirks provided all the scoring they needed. “I felt like the ball’s been coming out of my hand good as far as my fastball having life and that sort of thing,” Porcello said. “I think just trying to slow everything down has been the main thing that I continue to keep working on.” Fielder’s 432-foot shot to rightcenter — his fourth homer of the year — broke a 1-all tie in the third. Jackson homered for the Tigers in the first after Adam Dunn gave Chicago an early lead with a solo shot in the top half. Dirks batted second and fellow

outfielder Brennan Boesch was dropped to eighth. The Tigers had 10 hits but could never quite break the game open. Alex Avila hit into a double play with runners on first and third to end the fifth. Dirks

popped out to end the sixth with runners on second and third. With the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh, Boesch hit a routine fly. “It’s good to get a lot of runners on base,” Dirks said. “We didn’t quite get the hit when we needed it today, but we’re coming around.” Dirks finally added an insurance run with his homer to right in the eighth. Porcello (3-2) allowed a run and four hits in 6 1-3 innings. Four relievers finished for the Tigers, with Jose Valverde pitching the ninth for his fifth save. The Tigers were held to three or fewer runs for the fourth time in six games. “The key today was, if we get the pitching like we got the last couple of games, I’ll be happy, because we’re going to hit at some point,” Leyland said. “We got some hits today, we just didn’t get a lot of big ones.” Dylan Axelrod (0-1) allowed two runs and six hits in 4 1-3 innings.

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — The leader on the last lap isn’t supposed to win at Talladega Superspeedway. Everybody knows that. Brad Keselowski disagrees, and he showed how to do it Sunday with a calculated plan that sent him to Victory Lane. Keselowski used a big push from Kyle Busch to pass leader Matt Kenseth, and after leaving the Daytona 500 winner in their wake, Keselowski staved off Busch’s attempt to snatch the win. Using a move Keselowski said he had dreamed about, he held on for his second win of the season and second at Talladega. “I had this whole plan if I ever got in that situation where I was leading; I thought about it and thought about it, dreamed about what to do, and sure enough, going into (turn) three, it was just me and Kyle,” Keselowski said. “I knew the move I wanted to pull. It worked because the guy running second should have the advantage, but I had this move all worked up

in my mind.” Keselowski was the first driver in the last five races at Talladega to take the white flag and hold on for the win. He did it with a plan that left both Busch and Kenseth flatfooted, and both praised Keselowski after the race. “He’s no dummy, that’s for sure,” said Busch, who wound up second for the second consecutive day. Busch was the leader on the last lap of Saturday’s Nationwide Series race, and was passed by Joey Logano right at the finish line. He conceded there’s little the leader can do to preserve the victory on the last lap of a restrictor-plate race, and predicted how Sunday would unfold. “If you’re leading, being pushed, plan on finishing second. That’s all there is to it,” Busch said after Saturday’s defeat. It put Keselowski in Victory Lane for the second time this season, which helps his championship chances. He’s only ranked 12th in the Sprint Cup standings.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Yes, the Indiana Pacers are breathing sighs of relief. But the Pacers also learned two more important things about themselves with their 101-99 Game 4 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic to take a commanding 3-1 lead in their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series. One, they found out forward David West is just as capable of being their go-to guy when Danny Granger can’t. And though it took longer than coach Frank Vogel hoped or expected, the Pacers also finally got the boost from their reserves that they will need to not only close out this series, but to be competitive going forward. “We ran most of our offense for the whole game, particularly in the second half, through David West,” Vogel said of West’s 26-point, 12rebound night. “He’s just a best in the post. He kept pounding them. He’d either score, or if they double teamed him, he’d kick it. We got some open 3s out of it. He’s a quite a weapon.” Though the Pacers built and lost their huge lead in the fourth quarter, they continue to own the third period in the series, which is where West did most of his damage Saturday, scoring 12 points. They outscored the Magic 27-17 in Game 4 and now have a 108-60 edge in for the series. It’s also why Vogel wasn’t too hard on his team about letting the Magic back into the game. He attributed it mostly to Orlando going with a small lineup during the spurt which they weren’t too familiar with. It included small forward Hedo Turkoglu, playing the power spot. “That was a lineup we hadn’t seen a whole lot of, and it took us a while to adjust to it,” Vogel said. “We tried going small at first and I think they scored about four straight layups on us. So we went back to our starting lineup, and challenged them to guard our style of play.” That also included a boost from the Pacers reserves, which outscored the Magic bench 26-16. It was Indiana’s first such advantage of the series. Darren Collison led all bench scorers with 11 points, including a pair of 3pointers. As for the Magic, coach Stan Van Gundy said while his team is now tasked with doing what only eight other teams have accomplished in league history (coming back from a 3-1 hole), they are going to Indianapolis to win. “Based on what they did down 19 points (Saturday), my guess is that they’re not going to quit on anything,” Van Gundy said. “They will come out and play Tuesday night — damn hard and very well.”

Trine blanks No. 8 Adrian to split twin bill BY KEN FILLMORE kenf@kpcnews.net

ANGOLA — The first Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Baseball Tournament does not start until Wednesday. But that postseason feel was apparent on Sunday afternoon at Jannen Field as Trine hosted MIAA regular season champion Adrian for a doubleheader. The Bulldogs started fast in winning game one 6-3 to apply some pressure on the Thunder. In front of its biggest home crowd of the season, Trine responded to the pressure pretty well in a must-win situation on Senior Day as it grinded out a 1-0 win in game two

to clinch a first-round home game in the MIAA Tournament. The Thunder will host Hope on Wednesday, starting at 4 p.m. Trine (24-16 overall) and the Flying Dutchmen (22-18) tied for second place in the MIAA at 1810. Trine won the tiebreaker for the No. 2 seed because it went 2-2 over Adrian while Hope went 1-3 against the Bulldogs. “It shows that this team is in the running,” Thunder senior third baseman Ryan Smith said of splitting the four-game weekend series with the Bulldogs (32-8, 244 MIAA). With the conference tournament, these final four games of the

regular season for both teams carried more meaning. Messages can be sent, and confidence can be gained or lost. “It was hard to get motivated for a game like this before. There was nothing to play for,” Trine coach Greg Perschke said. “Baseball is meant to have a postseason tournament, but I didn’t know I would be around long enough to see it. But the conference presidents came through.” Trine will enter the MIAA Tournament as winners in 10 of its last 12 games. That included the regular season finale where an unearned run was the difference SEE TRINE, PAGE B2

Kings complete sweep of Blues

AP

Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, left, stops a shot by St. Louis Blues left wing Alexander Steen on Sunday. The Kings won 3-1 to win the series 4-0.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anze Kopitar skated down Dustin Brown and just plain tackled him, dropping the Los Angeles Kings captain to the ice as a sellout crowd expelled 19 years of frustration. Brown’s goal into the empty St. Louis net had just secured a spot in the Western Conference finals for the Kings, who steamrolled their first two playoff opponents the same way Kopitar flattened his longtime teammate. Eternal also-rans since joining the NHL nearly 45 years ago, the Kings are going deep in this

postseason — and the best of the West hasn’t slowed them down yet. Brown scored two goals, Jonathan Quick made 23 saves, and the eighthseeded Kings finished an improbable four-game sweep of the St. Louis Blues with a 3-1 victory Sunday, advancing to the conference finals for just the second time in club history. Rookie Jordan Nolan scored an early goal for the Kings, the first No. 8 seed in NHL history to eliminate their conference’s top two seeds in the same postseason. AP

TRINE: Thunder scores lone run of Game 2 in 3rd FROM PAGE B1

and three Thunder pitchers combined to blank the explosive Bulldogs on seven hits. Trine scored the lone run in game two in the bottom of the third inning. Angola senior first baseman Brian Hoeper singled with one out off of Adrian starter Brent Greenwood (3-2). Hoeper advanced two bases to third on an errant pickoff throw from Greenwood, then scored as Bulldog shortstop Cody Meyer could not field a slow grounder off the bat of DeKalb High graduate Ethan Prebynski. Senior starter Mike Sentman (4-3) has pitched better down the stretch and blanked Adrian on five hits over five and one-third innings. He struck out five and walked two before giving way to one of the best bullpens in the region. Nick Cocanower induced two flyouts to end the sixth inning after Sentman walked Garrett Green. Jeremy Spalding had to

have a short memory and beared down after getting in a jam that the Bulldogs did not create by slugging. The sophomore right-hander blew a save in the first game at Adrian Friday, allowing two runs on two hits in the bottom of the seventh in a 4-3 Thunder loss. On Sunday, Cody Meyer bunted down the third-base line perfectly for a single, then Sam Fischer singled on a swinging bunt along the first-base side. A sacrifice bunt by Andrew DeLuca moved the runners over, then Trine took the bat out of the hands of .426 hitter Kyle Strawn with an intentional walk to load the bases. Spalding got clean-up hitter Mitch Stefanski to pop out to shortstop for the second out, then retired Mitch Sroka on a flyout to right to end the game. That was Spalding’s 10th save of the season, which puts him in a tie for the national lead in Division III baseball. The Bulldogs stranded

11 runners on base for the game. Prebynski had the only other Trine hit. “We’ve just had to grind and we’re learning to do it a little bit better,� Perschke said. “We have to manufacture some stuff. We’re getting our starters deeper in some games. Our bullpen has done a great job.� Cocanower, a junior right-hander, pitched two scoreless innings in game one. But Adrian already did its damage. It scored three runs in the first inning and Thunder starter Braxton Siddons (4-2) did not get out of that inning. Green was 3-for-4 for the Bulldogs. Fischer had two doubles and two runs batted in. Eric Schmidt started and improved to 7-0, scattering seven hits and a walk over five innings. He allowed two runs (one earned) and struck out three. Smith, Matt Zurbriggen, Craig Rinkes and Andrew DeGood had two hits apiece for the Thunder. Zurbriggen, a junior catcher, also scored twice.

Knicks capture first playoff win since 2001

Trine University closer Jeremy Spalding delivers a pitch during the second game of a doubleheader Sunday afternoon at Jannen Field. Spalding earned his 10th save of the season.

NEW YORK (AP) — Carmelo Anthony scored 41 points, Amare Stoudemire had 20 points and 10 rebounds in his return from a cut hand, and the New York Knicks snapped an NBA-record, 13-game playoff losing streak, beating the Miami Heat 8987 Sunday in Game 4 of their first-round series. Anthony made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 54.5 seconds left as the Knicks overcame another serious injury to win a playoff game for the first time since April 29, 2001. Baron Davis dislocated his right kneecap in the third quarter, just as the Knicks were making the run that got them back into the game after a dismal first half. LeBron James scored 27 for the Heat, who will try to close it out in Game 5 at

home on Wednesday. Dwyane Wade had 22 points but missed a 3-point attempt with 1.6 seconds left that would have given Miami a lengthy rest before starting the second round. 76ers 89, Bulls 82 Spencer Hawes scored 22 points and Jrue Holiday had 20 to help Philadelphia beat top-seeded Chicago for a 31 lead in the first-round series. Andre Iguodala had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Sixers, who have won the last three games after dropping Game 1 in Chicago. Carlos Boozer had 23 points and 11 rebounds, and Taj Gibson added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls, who played without Derrick Rose (torn ACL) and Joakim Noah (sprained ankle).

LOCAL SPORTS BRIEFS • Prep Baseball Eagles lose 2 at Northfield WABASH — Class 2A 11th-ranked Fremont struggled to generate offense Saturday in losing to Class 2A No. 6 Northfield 6-1 and 4-2. The Eagles (11-10) only had four hits in game one and five hits in game two. In game one, Fremont put runners on second and third with no outs in the fifth inning as it trailed 4-1.

Beams, VanZuilen, Kaleb Hayes and Matt Hoff all had singles. In game two, Northfield scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning after the Eagles scored a run in the top half to tie the game at 2. Freshman Adam Roser had two doubles and two runs scored for the Norsemen (16-3). Hayes went the first five innings and took the loss for Fremont, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits and walking five. Tanner Wall entered in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and nobody out and got the Norsemen out without allowing another run. Brock Baker singled and drove in a run for the Eagles. Glen McClain singled and scored a run. VanZuilen also scored a run for the squad.

Sharp named medalist in Preseason Junior WEST CHICAGO, Ill. — Due to inclement weather, Sunday's final round of the Preseason Junior at Prairie Landing was canceled.

In addition, the win comes on the heels of her verbally committing to Michigan State, the reigning Big Ten champions. “I feel like I've proven that I can be a Spartan,” said Sharp. “Just by winning, I know I can do this and I've shown the coaches that I've got what it takes.”

Eleven education steps will help increase Hoosier jobs, income

We welcome letters to the editor. All letters must be submitted with the author’s signature, address and daytime telephone number. We reserve the right to reject or edit letters on the basis of libel, poor taste or repetition. Mail letters to:

BY JAMIE MERISOTIS AND JEFF TERP

Indiana’s per capita picture is not pretty. In 2010, Indiana ranked 41st among the 50 states in per capita personal income, down from 33rd in 2000. During the last decade, Hoosiers saw per capita income increase by less than one percent, giving Indiana smaller income growth than all but four states in the nation. Studies show that by 2025, nearly 60 percent of Indiana jobs will require some postsecondary education. We have a long way to go. Indianapolis-based Lumina Foundation recently released a report showing that in 2010, only 33.2 percent of Hoosier adults held a two- or four-year college degree. Lumina also found that at our current slow pace of improvement, slightly more than 40 percent of Indiana’s adults will have a college degree by 2025 — well short of the 60 percent needed. In 2010, as part of its Policy Choices project, the IU Public Policy Institute began developing options for work force education improvement. At the heart of these recommendations are three guiding principles: 1. Every Indiana resident should possess the basic skills required to remain competitive in the work force and allow a successful transition to higher education or further training. 2. Our education system must value degrees and credentials other than a fouryear bachelor’s degree. 3. Employer engagement is vital to improving education and work force development. With these principles in mind, here are 11 key recommendations: 1. Integrate the final year of high school with the initial year of postsecondary education for secondary school students who consistently demonstrate proficiency of college-and-careerreadiness academic standards. 2. Increase dual-credit enrollment so that two-thirds of Indiana students will leave high school with at least six college credits. 3. Identify those students unprepared for postsecondary education and training and use the final year of high school to provide appropriate remediation. 4. Increase the use of technology, nontraditional schools and accelerated pathways. Redesign Indiana’s workforce training, economic development and postsecondary education strategies to ensure that workers remain competitive in the labor market 5. Expand accelerated degrees and intermediate credentialing programs so that many more Hoosiers are prepared for good-paying, high-demand jobs. 6. Create an Office of Economic and Workforce Development by integrating the Indiana Economic Development Corporation with the employment and training division of the Department of Workforce Development. 7. Align the state’s policy-setting initiatives for postsecondary education and training under the Commission for Higher Education, with specific emphasis on increasing system capacity and efficiency that will increase postsecondary attainment. 8. Incorporate the majority of the state’s career and technical education into the revamped Commission for Higher Education. 9. Increase promotion and use of the Benefit Bank to ensure that residents are receiving all eligible federal and state benefits. Increase participation by employers in the design and delivery of the workforce development system 10. Provide tax incentives for businesses that hire new workers and train incumbent workers. 11. Create a statewide skills bank to connect employers with the skilled workers they require. With recent state funding cuts and considerable budget constraints for the foreseeable future, Indiana’s education and work force development systems will have to do more with less. How will Hoosiers respond? We hope and expect that they will respond as they always have: by rolling up their sleeves and getting to the important work of ensuring that Indiana’s tomorrow is brighter than its today. JAMIE MERISOTIS is president and CEO of Lumina Foundation and a member of the IU Public Policy Institute Advisory Board. JEFF TERP is vice president for engagement at Ivy Tech Community College. They co-chaired the Policy Choices Education and Workforce Development Commission, a project of the IU Public Policy Institute.

Letters to The Editor • Council member urges to proceed with caution over Trine proposal To the editor: I wonder if anyone beside me was left scratching her head after reading Saturday’s headline in The Herald Republican about the partnership between Trine University and the city of Angola. I’m aware that talks have been in the works between the university and the city for the past nine months. I know because I have been involved in these negotiations. I also know that I wholeheartedly support using “Major Moves” funds in bold and innovative ways that will spur economic growth and job creation in Steuben County and Angola in particular. However, much of what was stated in Saturday’s article took me by surprise and I feel obligated to share my concerns. At no point during the meetings with Trine officials were there discussions about using “Major Moves” money to create a Materials Science Center of Excellence that supports job creation in DeKalb County. I have a problem with this recent development. Is the city being asked to support an entrepreneurial project, a technology commercialization initiative or a materials science center to support Auburn-based businesses? I don’t know.

The investment that Trine University proposes to commit changes with each new design. First it was $6.9 million, and then it was to be $15 million over three years. Now I see that the university’s commitment is $10 million. Is it cash, or inkind, or a combination of the two? Before committing public funds, I think we should see exactly what our partner plans to bring to the project. Back to the memorandum of understanding; this document had undergone multiple drafts, as it should. However, the most recent version is the shortest yet. When seeking increased accountability and project detail, an abbreviated agreement does not seem appropriate. The city is being asked to give $2 million dollars in exchange for “services.” These include economic development and technology personnel; grant writing assistance, university scholarships and priority access. For me to feel confident that this is a good investment, I need more detail and I need to see project goals. If the city and the university do move ahead, perhaps the city should consider the commitment of “Major Moves” funds as a forgivable loan when certain criteria are met. If you, too, have concerns, I urge you to contact your city council person. Today. Our names and contact information

can be found at the Contact Us page of the city’s website, angolain.org or by calling City Hall. Better yet, if you have questions and want more information, come to the Common Council meeting this evening. We start at 7 p.m. Kathy Armstrong Angola Common Council member, District C

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, May 7-13 To the editor, Last week, I had the chance to visit the West Noble Middle School Memorial Garden, where a group of teachers and students were hard at work getting the garden ready for Saturday’s prom. While talking to our staff in the garden, I was reminded that this was a perfect analogy of everything that is great about our teachers at West Noble. Three of our finest, each representing a larger team of dedicated people, had taken personal days in order to spend time caring for a place that has come to mean so much to so many of us. None of them want recognition for this deed, and in fact that is why it is hard to write this letter.In the past year, there has been a seemingly endless barrage of publicity chastising

America’s public schools. Our test scores are never good enough; our standards are never high enough, and the care and concern we used to expect from our favorite teacher no longer seems to fit in our race for better scores. As a result, I have seen some of the best educators hang their heads and question the reason to stay. I am writing to publicly thank the teachers of the West Noble School Corp. As an administrator, I want our community to know that you have risen to the challenge. I watch you come early and stay late. I have seen you continue to grow in your use of data, your efforts at curriculum development and your understanding of the ever-changing standards. I have watched you encourage and support your kids and each other. You are working harder than ever before to make the best even better. I am proud to send my daughter to West Noble, and I am proud to work alongside you in our schools. I would like to invite the West Noble community to join me in applauding your efforts this week, as we celebrate you together. Thank you for all you do; it is appreciated! Melanie Tijerina, Principal West Noble Middle School Ligonier

No celebration for the unknown celebrity WASHINGTON — The squabbling between political campaigns and the harrumphing of pundits were put in proper perspective at, of all places, the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner — the annual Prom on the Potomac where 2,000 or so media members and movie stars gather to honor the president and admire one another. It is customary at this “exclusive” congregation for media organizations to compete for the celebrity “get.” Thus, this year, all were abuzz over the stars, including among the many, George Clooney, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Steven Spielberg and, of course, Kim Kardashian, without whom no shallow occasion would be complete — and finally, Lindsay Lohan. Then there was Table 46, one of The Washington Post’s tables, to which I was fortuitously assigned. We were the uncelebrities — writers, editors, Undersecretary of State Bob Hormats, and a military officer who introduced himself as “Bill.” He was obviously important. His dress uniform†was festooned with medals and ribbons — lots of them. And he had that bearing we recognize in military elites that betrays another kind of space, a private zone where intelligence and readiness keep each other quiet company. Bill … who did he say? Turns out this humble, polite man was Adm. William McRaven, leader of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) that oversaw the raid to kill Osama bin Laden. In a recounting of the eight-month lead-up to the raid, Time magazine features McRaven as part of President Obama’s highly secret, and secretive, inner circle. He’s the guy to whom CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell was referring when he turned to thenDirector Leon Panetta in the early planning stages and said, “It’s time to call in the pros.”

The Obama administration has been taking some flak for touting bin Laden’s killing in a campaign ad, including a barb this week from former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Michael Mullen. “I do worry a great deal that this time of year that somehow this gets spun into election politics,” Mullen said in an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams. “I can assure you that those individuals who risk their KATHLEEN lives — the last thing in the that they want is to be PARKER world spun into that.” By Time’s telling, Obama clearly deserves enormous credit for the execution of the bin Laden hit. His measured approach to the exercise was key. There were a hundred ways things could go wrong, and waiting for just the right moment was crucial. Whether it is appropriate for Obama to turn the operation into a political instrument is another matter. One Special Forces officer summed it up to me this way: “A good leader lets his people shine and that reflects on him without him having to beat his own drum.” Reading the Time story, one is reminded that the business of the executive office is far graver than what tends to nourish the daily news cycle. Serious business gets done without notice, thanks in part to the lack of notice. The bin Laden raid was successful largely because no one leaked. Secrets were kept. Highly trained men did their jobs without fanfare. “This is what we do,” McRaven told the president, according to Time. “We fly in by helicopters, we assault compounds, we grab the bad guy or whatever is required, and we get out.” At one point during the WHCA dinner, I

• thought the president was going to recognize our man, Bill. Obama began his speech by acknowledging that a year ago, the U.S. delivered justice to a deserving person. I glanced at McRaven thinking, aha, he’s about to have his well-deserved moment. Instead, the huge screens in the room flashed the face of Donald Trump. It was a setup for a joke. I asked McRaven what it’s like to wake up every day and know that you’re the one who brought down bin Laden. Does he open his eyes and think, wow, I did that? No, he smiles and shakes his head. “It’s our job. It’s what we do.” No one at the dinner posed for a picture with McRaven, except (at my insistence) his hostess for the evening, Washington Post reporter Karen Tumulty. A fifth-grade classmate of McRaven’s, Tumulty convinced him to attend the dinner. As the crowd followed Kardashian down the hall and others grabbed Clooney for one more photo, McRaven slipped out of the room and down a private hallway into the night. Just like a year ago after Abbottabad — unnoticed, unrecognized, uncelebrated. Ignoring the best while celebrating the least — it’s what we do.

Briefs • Romney still needs to hunt up delegates WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican party leaders are starting to rally around Mitt Romney, but it’s not exactly a stampede of support for the expected GOP presidential nominee. With Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich out of the race, Romney is his party’s pick to take on President Barack Obama this fall, barring a catastrophe. While Romney talks like the nominee, the former Massachusetts governor has work to do to round up enough convention delegates to make it official. Romney has 859 delegates, according to The Associated Press count. That’s 285 short of the 1,144 he needs to win the nomination. Romney could get about 100 delegates from Tuesday’s primaries in North Carolina, Indiana and West Virginia, if he dominates the voting in all three states. But unless he persuades a lot more Santorum and Gingrich delegates to switch allegiances, Romney might not clinch until the Texas primary May 29. Santorum and Gingrich have said they will help Romney defeat Obama, but neither has released his delegates to vote for Romney at the national convention in August.

Greece still waiting for election results ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greeks angered by a vicious and protracted financial crisis punished the parties that have dominated politics for decades Sunday, with projected election results showing them hemorrhaging support to anti-bailout groups and no party gaining enough ballots to form a government. Responding quickly to the protest vote, the heads of the parties in first and second place pledged to seek to either renegotiate the terms of Greece’s multibillion dollar international bailout agreement or overturn it. More than two years of repeated austerity measures in return for bailout loans from other European Union countries and the IMF have pushed Greece into a deep recession that has seen the jobless rate explode and tens of thousands of businesses close. The misery has infuriated voters who on Sunday dealt a massive blow to the decades-old dominance of the country’s two main parties, the socialist PASOK and conservative New Democracy.

People • Departed Beastie Boy remembered NEW YORK (AP) — When the Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just weeks ago, the New York trio was down a man. Michael “Mike Dâ€? Yauch Diamond and Adam “Ad-Rockâ€? Horovitz took the stage with a letter from their missing band mate: Adam “MCAâ€? Yauch, who was too ill to attend. He was suffering from a cancerous salivary gland first diagnosed in 2009. In the letter, which Horovitz read, Yauch dedicated the honor to his fellow B-Boys, “who have walked the globe with me.â€? “To anyone who has been touched by our band, who our music has meant something to, this induction is as much ours as it is yours,â€? said Yauch. It was typical generosity from Yauch, the gravellyvoiced rapper who helped make the Beastie Boys one of the seminal groups in hip-hop and whose goodhearted nature led him to humanistic causes and made him beloved in hip-hop.

Drone attack kills a top terrorist SANAA, Yemen (AP) — An airstrike Sunday killed a top al-Qaida leader on the FBI’s most wanted list for his role in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole warship, Yemeni officials said. The drone attack was carried out by the CIA, U.S. officials said. Fahd al-Quso was hit by a missile as he stepped out of his vehicle, along with another al-Qaida operative in the southern Shabwa province, Yemeni military officials said. They were speaking on condition of anonymity in accordance with military regulations. The drone strike that killed Quso was carried out by the CIA, after an extended surveillance operation by the CIA and U.S. military, two U.S. officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. The strike was authorized by the Yemeni government, which then made the announcement after the operation was complete, the officials said, part of the U.S. strategy to give the host government more public ownership of the operation being carried out on Yemeni soil. The airstrike came as the U.S. and Yemen cooperate in a battle against al-Qaida in southern Yemen. Al-Quso, 37, was on the FBI’s most wanted list, with a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture. He was indicted in the U.S. for his role in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in the harbor of Aden, Yemen, in which 17 American sailors were killed and 39 injured. He served more than five years in a Yemeni prison for his role in the attack and

was released in 2007. He briefly escaped prison in 2003 but later turned himself in to serve the rest of his sentence. A telephone text message claiming to be from alQaida’s media arm confirmed al-Quso was killed in the strike. Al-Quso was also one of the most senior al-Qaida leaders publicly linked to the 2009 Christmas airliner attack. He allegedly met with the suspected Nigerian bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, in Yemen before he left on his way to execute his failed attack over Detroit with a bomb concealed in his underwear. In December 2010, alQuso was designated a global terrorist by the State Department, an indication that his role in al-Qaida’s Yemen offshoot, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, had grown more prominent. Local Yemeni official Abu Bakr bin Farid and the Yemeni Embassy in Washington confirmed alQuso was killed in Rafd, a remote mountain valley in Shabwa. It is the area where many al-Qaida leaders are believed to have taken cover, including the U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Yemen last year. Yemeni government officials reported that alQuso and al-Awlaki were killed in an airstrike in 2009 in Rafd, but they both resurfaced alive. Al-Quso was known for his ability to move in disguise. He was from the same tribe as al-Awlaki, and local tribesmen said he was a close aide. He studied ultraconservative Salafi Islam as a teenager in northern Yemen, then returned home to learn welding.

Ron Paul supporters still going strong AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — With Mitt Romney’s nomination all but decided, Ron Paul supporters wrested control of the Maine Republican Convention and elected a majority slate supporting the Texas congressman to the GOP national Paul convention, party officials said as the two-day convention neared its end Sunday. The results gave the Texas congressman a late state victory. The names of 15 at-large delegates from Maine to the GOP nominating convention in Tampa, Fla., were posted Sunday as votes for the other delegation seats remained undecided. Maine is allotted a total of 24

delegates to the national convention. “It’s certainly a significant victory,� said Jim Azzola of South Portland, Cumberland County coordinator for Paul. The votes were to become finalized when the convention closes. Paul, the last challenger to remain in the contest, finished a close second behind Romney in Maine’s GOP caucuses in February but those results were nonbinding. Not everyone, however, had a chance to cast a ballot before the results were announced. A snowstorm forced the cancellation of some caucuses including one in a Paul stronghold. Romney won the February straw poll with 39 percent of the vote to Paul’s 36 percent. Santorum trailed with 18 percent and Gingrich got 6 percent.

Lawmaker thinks Taliban is stronger WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of the congressional committees said Sunday they believed that the Taliban had grown stronger since President Barack Obama sent 33,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan in 2010. The pessimistic report by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., challenges Obama’s own assessment last week in his visit to Kabul that the

“tide had turned� and that “we broke the Taliban’s momentum.� Feinstein and Rogers told CNN’s “State of the Union� they aren’t so sure. The two recently returned from a factfinding trip to the region where they met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. More than 1,800 U.S. troops have been killed in the decade-long war. About 88,000 service members remain deployed.

Biden ‘comfortable’ with more gay rights WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden says he’s “absolutely comfortable� with gay couples who marry getting the same civil rights and liberties as heterosexual couples, a stand that gay rights advocates interpreted as an endorsement of samesex marriage. But the White House and President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign, eager to avoid a debate on a hotbutton social issue in an election year, insisted that Biden was not breaking ranks with Obama, who does not publicly support gay marriage. Biden told NBC’s “Meet the Press� that marriage should be about being loyal

to someone you love, whether that marriage is between a man and a woman, two men or two women. “I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties,� Biden said in the interview broadcast Sunday. Gay rights advocates said Biden’s comments signaled unmistakable support for gay marriage, which they said made him the highest-ranking member in the Obama administration to take that position.

Bride doesn’t want to separate families

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

DEAR ABBY: I’m getting married soon. My mom says we should have one side of the church reserved for my fiance’s friends and family, and one side for ours. I disagree. Not only does it make me feel like we would be separating people when the occasion should be about unity, but he doesn’t have a whole lot of people coming. It could embarrass him if I have 100 guests on my side and he has 30 on his. My fiance says he doesn’t care, but I do! I want our guests blended in celebration of our union. Because Mom and Dad are paying half, I think Mom should have some input, but I don’t feel right about her suggestion. What do you think? — UNITING, NOT DIVIDING DEAR UNITING: I agree with your thinking. Although in the past brides’ and grooms’ guests were seated on opposite sides of the sanctuary, today the wedding ‘‘rules’’ have

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I own five parrots, one of which is a miligold macaw. “Petie” is a young bird and starting to pick up words and sounds like crazy. Something he has started mimicking has my

husband and me embarrassed and worried. When we go into our bedroom, Petie starts making ‘‘amorous’’ sounds. Honestly, it sounds like someone is at the height of romantic passion in the living room where his cage is located. Petie practices other words and sounds at various times during the day. We enjoy having people over to the house, and it’s good for him to interact with them and be socialized. How should we handle the situation if he starts repeating the sounds of our bedroom activities when guests are over? Any suggestions? —DISCREET IN THE MIDWEST DEAR DISCREET: You could tell your guests that Petie likes to watch R-rated movies on premium cable. But don’t be embarrassed that your bird has the sounds of pleasure to imitate. It would be worse if he were saying, ‘‘Not tonight; I have a headache.’’

So the first step in CBT is to help you recognize when you’re stressed. Your therapist will ask you to record your thoughts and anxiety levels in certain situations. Then, you and the

therapist will discuss your thoughts. You’ll evaluate how realistic they are. And you’ll work together to substitute more productive thoughts. The therapist might also challenge you to consider what would happen if your fears came true. Would that outcome actually be so bad? The behavioral component of CBT has two main strategies. The first involves having you face your fears directly. The reasoning is that avoiding anxiety-causing situations reinforces fears or false beliefs. In real-life situations, you can practice substituting more realistic thoughts for your negative ones. With repeated exposure, you should become desensitized to fear-provoking situations. The other main strategy is teaching practical skills to help you feel more in control. For example, say you become extremely

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’d like to learn more about cognitive behavioral therapy. How is it used to treat anxiety? DEAR READER: Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is the leading form of therapy for anxiety. It attempts to correct ingrained patterns of negative thoughts and behaviors. Some studies indicate that it is as effective or more effective than medication. Cognitive behavioral therapy has roots going back a century. The ideas and techniques of CBT came together in the 1960s and 1970s. It is one of the forms of “talk therapy” that has been studied in scientific trials and found to be effective. In contrast with other forms of talk therapy, CBT does not focus on events in your early life, your relationships with family or your dreams. Instead, it directly

While the bride’s and groom’s FAMILIES usually sit on opposite sides in areas marked for them by ribbons, if there is an imbalance in the number of guests such as you have described, an can DEAR usher correct it by ABBY seating the guests on both sides of Jeanne Phillips the room without regard to who invited them.

anxious when you have a lot to do. You may learn about setting goals and managing time. If you’re uneasy in social situations, you may be coached in social skills. We have more information on anxiety in our Special Health Report, “Coping With Anxiety and Phobias.” Learn more about it on my website, AskDoctorK.com. Practitioners of other forms of talk therapy, such as psychoanalysis, sometimes complain that CBT has been given more recognition than is justified by the scientific evidence. Nevertheless, one of the most prestigious awards given for medical and biological research, the Lasker Award, was bestowed on Dr. Aaron Beck in 2006 for his role in developing CBT. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.

‘Avengers’ is huge at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hulk, smash. That’s what Captain America tells the Incredible Hulk to do in “The Avengers,” and that’s what the Marvel Comics superhero mash-up did at the box office, smashing the domestic revenue record with a $200.3 million debut. It’s by far the biggest opening ever, shooting past the previous record of $169.2 million for the debut of last year’s “Harry Potter” finale. “The Avengers” added $151.5 million overseas over the weekend to bring its total to $441.5 million since it began opening internationally a week earlier. That raised the film’s worldwide haul to $641.8 million in barely a week and a half, more than its Marvel superhero forerunners “Iron Man,” ”Iron Man 2,” ”Thor” and “Captain America” took in during their entire runs. If distributor Disney’s domestic estimate Sunday holds when the final weekend count is released Monday, “The Avengers” would be the first movie ever to haul in $200 million in a single weekend. While the number could dip below $200 million come Monday, Disney spent the weekend revising its forecasts upward as business kept growing. “There aren’t even words, to be honest. I’m running low on double

takes. Every time we looked at a number, it just got bigger than what we could have hoped for in the bestcase assumption,” said Dave Hollis, Disney’s head of distribution. “With this film, this weekend, anything is possible.” “The Avengers” started with solid midnight crowds Friday, though nowhere near a record. Then it did $80.5 million for the full day Friday, second only to the “Harry Potter” finale’s $91.1 million first day. Revenues held up much better than expected with $69.7 million Saturday, and Disney estimated that the film would bring in $50.1 million more on Sunday. The record weekend was the culmination of years of careful planning by Marvel Studios, which has included teasers for an “Avengers” dream team collaboration in its solo superhero adventures. Directed by Joss Whedon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), “The Avengers” features Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. A $200 million total for every movie in release is considered a great weekend for the business as a whole, so “The Avengers” redefines the standards for a blockbuster debut.

“If ‘The Avengers’ is any indication, we’re going to see a leap rather than a gentle little nudge into new territory, and the lineup is there to justify it going forward,” said Greg Foster, chairman and president of the huge-screen IMAX cinema chain. Overall domestic revenues came in at $248 million, climbing 49 percent compared to the same weekend last year, when “Thor” opened with $65.7 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “The Avengers” accounted for four-fifths of the weekend’s domestic receipts. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released today. 1. “The Avengers,” $200.3 million ($151.5 million international). 2. “Think Like a Man,” $8 million. 3. “The Hunger Games,” $5.7 million. 4. “The Lucky One,” $5.5 million. 5. “The Pirates! Band of Misfits,” $5.4 million ($2.6 million international). 6. “The Five-Year Engagement,” $5.1 million ($2.3 million international). 7. “The Raven,” $2.5 million. 8. “Safe,” $2.47 million. 9. “Chimpanzee,” $2.4 million. 10. “The Three Stooges,” $1.8 million.
