Jenna Barkley, a Ball State sophomore, picked up a diet last month that did more than help her lose weight — she also can get drunk faster. She started a diet consisting of only meats, nuts, vegetables and fruits. She lost 8 pounds in the first week and said the loss lowered her tolerance to alcohol. According to a study, eating less to drink more has become a trend among some young adults. In 2011, the University of Missouri released “‘Drunkorexia:’ a recipe for disaster.” The term “drunkorexia” is an unofficial label for the act of limiting food in an unhealthy manner to compensate for increased alcohol consumption.

3. EGYPTIAN MILITARY BACKS HEAD OF COUP CAIRO (AP) — Army chief AbdelFattah el-Sissi, who led the coup ousting Egypt’s Islamist president, moved closer to declaring his candidacy to replace him, securing the military’s backing Monday for a presidential run, due by the end of April. Though he’s riding on a wave of nationalist fervor touting him as the nation’s savior to bring stability, his candidacy is certain to enflame a violent backlash from Islamists.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A House plan to make major cuts to food stamps would be scaled back under a bipartisan agreement on a massive farm bill, a near end to a more than two-year fight that has threatened to hurt rural lawmakers in an election year. The measure announced by the House and Senate Agriculture committees preserves food stamp benefits for most Americans who receive them and continues generous subsidies for farmers. The House could vote on the bill as soon as Wednesday. The compromise was expected to cut food stamps by about $800 million a year, which is around 1 percent. The House in September passed legislation cutting 5 percent from the $80 billion-a-year program. The Democratic-controlled Senate had passed a bill with $400 million in annual food stamp cuts.
A run by the 59-year-old el-Sissi, a U.S.-trained infantry officer, would be a new twist in Egypt’s tumultuous transition, which began with 2011 revolt against autocratic President Hosni Mubarak — a veteran of the military who ruled for nearly 30 years — in the name of bringing civilian rule, reform and greater democracy. The elections that followed were the country’s first democratic vote and brought the Islamists to power.
4. EXTREMISTS KILL 75 IN NIGERIAN VILLAGE

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Suspected Islamic extremists used explosives and heavy guns to attack a village in one state and a church in another in Nigeria’s northeast, killing about 75 people and razing hundreds of homes, officials and witnesses said Monday. The attack on Kawuri village in Borno state, which killed 52 people, resulted in one of the highest death tolls in recent attacks by militants who are defying an 8-month old military state
of emergency in three northern states designed to halt an Islamic uprising. The attackers set off several explosions in Kawuri after launching their assault near the village’s weekly market as vendors were packing up Sunday night, the security official said. He said 52 people died and the entire village was burned down, including 300 homes. He also said two improvised explosive devices that were left behind went off Monday morning.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government is looking at ways to prevent anyone from spying on its own surveillance of Americans’ phone records. As the Obama administration considers shifting the collection of those records from the National Security Agency to requiring that they be stored at phone companies or elsewhere, it’s quietly funding research to prevent phone company employees or eavesdroppers from seeing who
DENVER (AP) — Pot at the county fair? Why not? Colorado’s Denver County is adding cannabis-themed contests to its 2014 summer fair. It’s the first time pot plants will stand alongside tomato plants and homemade jam in competition for a blue ribbon. There won’t actually be any marijuana at the fairgrounds. The judging will be done off-site, with photos showing the winning entries. And a

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has paid at least five research teams across the country to develop a system for high-volume, encrypted searches of electronic records kept outside the government’s possession. The project is among several ideas that would allow the government to no longer store Americans’ phone records but still search them as needed.
live joint-rolling contest will be done with oregano, not pot. But fair organizers say the marijuana categories will add a twist on Denver’s already-quirky fair, which includes a drag queen pageant and a contest for dioramas made with Peeps candies. “We thought it was time for us to take that leap and represent one of the things Denver has going on,” said Tracy Weil, the fair’s marketing and creative director.

CENTER’S GAME CHANGES With different offensive style, Majok struggles to score consistently, team falls to 1-5 in MAC play after recent loss MATT McKINNEY CHIEF REPORTER
E
ven when scoring lacks, a physical competitor takes the floor. First-year head coach James Whitford has utilized the play of senior center Majok Majok in his new-look offense. “Everybody is used to it,” Majok said. “It’s just a matter of us clicking together to get some wins going.” Wins have been tough to find for Majok and the rest of the team. Ball State is currently sitting at 4-13 overall and 1-5 in the Mid-American Conference. Lately, when Ball State has struggled to score from the perimeter, Majok also has struggled to put up points. Against Miami, Ball State shot 33.3 percent and Majok scored 8 points. Against Western Michigan, Ball State made 30 percent of its shots. Majok again struggled, shooting 4-of-10 from the field. The script was flipped against Buffalo, however. Majok scored 12 points in Ball State’s nearly 50 percent shooting effort despite being guarded by potential MAC Player of the Year Javon McCrea. “[Strong outside shooting] helps me a lot because when you have
great shooters, the defense isn’t as packed in the paint,” Majok said. “It works to my advantage.” Before Thursday’s win against Buffalo, Majok failed to score double digits in two consecutive games. That was after a four-game stretch with point totals of 18, 25, 16 and 14 points. “What [the other teams] are doing is making us beat them outside the paint,” Majok said. “All they’re doing is crowding the paint to try to take me away.” Majok is a constant focus for opposing defenses, especially when Ball State isn’t making outside shots. Occasionally, the opposing center will front him, making passes more difficult for perimeter players. Even if the pass successfully goes over the defender’s head and reaches Majok, multiple defenders will move toward him in an attempt to stop Majok’s scoring. Majok said he is able to capitalize on transition plays because opposing defenses are unable to utilize double teams. One new wrinkle to Whitford’s system is the offense’s increased tempo. When Ball State forces a turnover, the

defense will focus on stopping the fast break instead of keying on Majok. While Majok usually won’t get up the floor for the fast break, he can still catch the defense off guard by getting in position while the defense is setting up. “When we are getting stops ... and we run, they don’t really double as much,” he said. He isn’t known as a particularly tall player, not even the tallest on the team. But Majok knows how to use his 6-foot-9, 220-pound frame to fight down low to get rebounds and score. “There are 10 post players in the league as skilled as Majok,” Whitford said. “But there’s none as powerful. ... Majok has to play like a power player.” He has averaged 10.2 rebounds this season, up from his 9.8 rebounds per game last season. His average is currently best in the MAC, and no other player is in double digits. “One of Majok’s key stats is rebounds,” Whitford said. “Not just because it’s good for our team, but it’s really a sign of how physical he’s playing.” Ball State is tied for sixth in the
MAC’s rebounding offense with 35.9 rebounds per game. “He’s at his best when he’s catching the ball really close to the rim,” Whitford said. “It’s easy to get him the ball 12 feet out and have him dribble in. But that’s also what a lot of people will bait us into.” Whitford said when Majok gets the ball too far away from the rim, it’s more likely for him to travel or turn the ball over. Majok is tied for third in turnovers on Ball State with freshman Mark Alstork. Ball State turns the ball over more than any other MAC team, averaging 16.9 turnovers per game. The second-worst team, Bowling Green, averages 14.4 turnovers per game. “What I can do [to get better] is catch it deep in the paint, so the other teams can’t double,” Majok said. “I can get a quick shot. It’s kind of hard, too, because when they crowd [the paint] it’s hard to get a pass inside.” No matter where Majok is when he gets the ball, Whitford wants him to do what he’s done throughout his Ball State career — play physical. “When he sets a ball screen, [Majok should] run to the rim and smash a guy,” he said.

bama. From 2009-10, Norris was a student manager with the Ball State men’s team.
Q: What was your first tennis memory? A: I played
with Colin Purcell [former tennis player at Georgia] and his dad. They were my nextdoor neighbors and they took me to these tennis courts
right outside our neighborhood. They taught me how to play. I was really impatient, I was so competitive [and] I would get really upset at myself. His dad was really nice to me and really calm. He would just try to calm me down. When the ball was short, I knew the rule but I wanted to hit it so bad I would throw my racket. ... Mr. Purcell was like, “No, no, you can’t throw it.” I couldn’t have been any older than like 7.
Q: What was your childhood nickname? A: Mad Max or Maxident, like
accident.
Q: What’s your go-to meal to eat after a match or practice? A: If it was a home match, and a long day, I would probably go to Mancino’s. I think Mancino’s is great. I think their service is excellent. I think the people there are very pleasant. It’s just an easy location — it’s on the way back to my apartment. I’m actually going to take my team there after a couple matches. But my go-to food is Mexican food.
Q: What’s your favorite Mexican dish?
A: Wow. Steak quesadilla, chicken quesadilla, veggie quesadilla. The Combo 20 at Puerto [Vallarta] is amazing. Puerto’s is amazing. I like their guacamole, salsa and shredded cheese.
Q: What is your favorite genre of music? A: My favorite type is R&B soul, ’70s-’60s motown type of music. But my favorite individual artist would be Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Q: What’s something about you that your team doesn’t already know?
A:
I’m very detail-oriented. And I’m very focused and structured with things I do. I wasn’t always like that, I had to learn. When I was younger, I lost focus a lot. I always wanted to be the class clown and talk a lot. If [the team] ever loses focus, I’ve been there before and I understand. I think a lot of successful habits can be learned. They might not be born in you. You can become a good listener or a good student or a good studier or a good worker. They probably couldn’t imagine me acting certain ways like that.

DRINKING:
DANGERS OF ‘DRUNKOREXIA’ | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The study found 16 percent of survey participants restrict their caloric intake before drinking alcohol. The reasons behind holding back the calories can vary. Of those who avoided eating, 64 percent did it to stop weight gain and 25 percent avoided eating to get drunk faster. Two percent reported peer pressure as the motivation. Barkley said she would diet regardless of her alcohol consumption, but she has noticed she now gets drunk faster. “It’s a positive since I’m drinking less alcohol [and] can spend less,” she said. “At the same time, I guess you have to really watch yourself and know your limits so you don’t overdrink.” Kyle Kittleson, a psychologist at the Ball State Counseling Center, said psychologists can’t diagnose students with drunkorexia because it isn’t recognized as a mental health issue. “We would label it as something else or not label it at all and just talk about the behavior,” he said. Kittleson said the habits the media associates with drunkorexia would most likely apply to someone with both an eating and a substance abuse disorder, but this would vary by case. The combination can be dangerous.
Alcohol by itself interferes with how the body handles nutrients, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Students who binge drink while not eating enough won’t get the nutrients they need to be healthy. Other consequences can include addiction, other eating disorders, alcohol poisoning and engaging in violence or risky sexual behavior. Though Kittleson didn’t comment on how many students he sees showing symptoms of drunkorexia, he said the Counseling Center has a number of programs to help students with substance abuse or eating disorders. He helps lead the Substance Abuse Prevention Outreach team responsible for providing information to students about how to make educated decisions regarding alcohol. The Counseling Center offers other groups and resources for students who want help with eating or substance abuse disorders. “I think people can get this idea that, ‘If I talk to people over at the Counseling Center, that means I have a drinking problem,’” Kittleson said. “We don’t necessarily see it that way. We just want to help you make choices in your life that are healthy.”
CALORIE COMPARISON Some people are not eating to compensate for the amount of calories in alcoholic drinks. Here’s a look at how different foods approximately compare to common drinks.

The term “drunkorexia” labels the behavior that includes limiting food consumption in order to drink more alcohol. According to a University of Missouri study in 2011, drunkorexia has become a trend among some young adults.
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MUNCIE — Residents across Indiana are treading lightly when considering buying health insurance through the federal health exchange as they move toward a March 31 deadline to enroll. Nearly 17 percent of the state’s population, or 911,674 people, lacks insurance. Most of those residents are required to show proof they’ve obtained insurance after March to avoid a penalty under the federal health care overhaul law. But the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said about 30,400 residents had bought plans through the exchange in through the end of December. The slow rate of compliance reflects early glitches with the signup process, sticker shock over prices offered through the health exchange and a stubborn work ethic in parts of the state with populations that prefer to rely on one another instead of the government, according to those charged with helping people enroll. The largest numbers of uninsured in the state are in LaGrange and Elkhart counties, both of which have large Amish populations. More than 25 percent of LaGrange County residents lacked insurance, while 21 percent were uninsured in neighboring Elkhart County, according to U.S.

vices in Muncie set up shop in a conference room at the Maring Hunt Public Library in late December. Navigator Amanda Deardorff set up a laptop and chairs around a conference table and welcomed residents who had made appointments. Many expressed shock at the costs of the plans — single adults right on the bubble, just shy of 400 percent of the federal poverty level, can see prices range between $400 a month for a low-end “bronze” plan to $600 a month for the higher-end “gold” plans. That doesn’t include the deductibles that must be paid before coverage kicks in. Valerie Kizer, 59, of Muncie, didn’t like the prices but was happy to have insurance. Kizer, who co-owns Kizer’s Carpet Care with her husband, had struggled to get medical coverage after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1994. “When I had a good insurance, say when I was diagnosed with [multiple sclerosis], when [insurers] found out about this, they started raising the rates and raised to a point where I didn’t have a choice to drop it,” Kizer said. “And when that happened, nobody would take me. And when they did take me, the insurance was horrible and they wouldn’t pay for anything.” The plan Kizer enrolled in through the exchange will cost about $100 more per month than the coverage she lost at the end of the year, but she said she was happy to have insurance that covers treatments she may need.

(AP) — Purdue University has announced it will provide charter bus service today for students who want to attend funeral services in Wisconsin for a student fatally shot and stabbed on campus last week. The university announced Monday it would provide bus service to West Bend, Wis., for the service of 21-year-old Andrew Boldt. Authorities said Boldt was killed Jan. 21 in Purdue’s Electrical Engineering Building on the West Lafayette campus. An innocent plea was entered last week on behalf of 23-year-old Cody Cousins, who has been charged with murder. He has been ordered held without bond. The visitation will be this afternoon at St. Frances Cabrini Church, followed by a funeral Mass that night at the church.
SHELTER: County ministry provides warm, safe place

To Robertson, helping others is a gift she said God bestowed on her. She said she sees men come to her door with no hope left, but some leave with jobs, an apartment and a GED. When Robertson began working at Christian Ministries, she didn’t realize the extent of homelessness in Muncie.
She said driving up and down streets does not give real insight. “Jobs are very scarce and if you have any kind of felony or something like that, you’re just not going to get anywhere,” she said. “They need a place like this to help them cooperate, kind of get their minds together before they can go out and try to better their self and get back into their independence.”
HJR-3: Amended proposal may see House vote today | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“My goals have been met in full,” he said. “I had two commitments. One, that the entire body would have the chance to vote on it. And two, that I wouldn’t ask anybody to vote any way other than their conscience.” On Sunday, 35 Ball State students volunteered to make phone calls to Indiana residents to urge politicians to defeat
HJR-3 in the House. HJR-3’s history traces back to 2011 when the marriage ban was created. The Indiana Senate originally approved the measure, but it had to receive approval through the House in 2013 or 2014 to send it to a referendum. At that point, it was still called HJR-6. The House could vote on the amended version as soon as today.

Temperatures, wind chill continue to blast Midwest Subzero conditions nip away at people, bite into normal life
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Parents brought kids to work or just stayed home because schools were closed, again. Office workers hailed cabs to ride a block — or less. And companies offering delivery services were inundated with business as Arctic air blasted the central U.S. on Monday for the second time in weeks, disrupting the lives of even the hardiest Midwesterners. As temperatures and wind chills plummeted throughout the day, even simple routines were upended by the need to bundle up, with anyone venturing outdoors being well advised to layer up with clothing, coats, hats, scarves and gloves. And there’s no quick relief in sight as subzero highs were expected to dominate across the region into today. “This is similar to what we had
three weeks ago� in terms of life-threatening conditions, said Sarah Marquardt, a National Weather Service meteorologist. “With wind chills in the minus 30 to minus 40 range, you can get frostbite within 10 minutes on exposed skin.� In Chicago, temperatures had fallen below zero by Monday afternoon with wind chills in the negative double-digits. “We had two [employees] call in because they couldn’t come to work because of the school closings, and another called in sick,� said Kristelle Brister, the manager of a Chicago Starbucks, who was forced to bring her 9-year-old son to work after the city shut down its 400,000-student school system for the day. Residents of Minnesota and Wisconsin faced similar if even somewhat more severe weather. Wind chills in the minus 40s were expected in Minneapolis, while in Milwaukee the chill hit minus 23 by midafternoon. Elsewhere, wind chills of minus 18 were expected in Dayton, Ohio, minus 14 in Kansas City, Mo., and minus 3 in Louisville, Ky.
The chill Monday was enough to keep even the hardiest people off the streets, including the customers of the Hollywood Tan salon in the southwestern Illinois’ community of Belleville. “It’s definitely a lot slower,� said salon manager Kelly Benton, who wasn’t expecting anything near the 100 tanners the salon sees on a typical day. But the chill didn’t keep crowds from Tiny Tots and Little Tykes Preschool and Child Care Center in West St. Paul, Minn., where the cold weather means a lot more jumping rope and riding around on scooters — anything to escape cabin fever and let kids burn off some energy. “We’re just trying to keep them busy, but it’s definitely more of a challenge when you can’t get outside,� ManaRae Schaan, the executive director, said. The brutally cold weather has brought a spike in business for GrubHub Seamless, a company that lets users order food online from restaurants and have the food delivered. “Across the board, restaurant and delivery drivers are
Don’t forget your friend’s birthday! 6HQG D FODVVL¿HG ELUWKGD\ ZLVK LQ WKH 'DLO\ 1HZV
dealing with an influx of orders,� Allie Mack, a spokeswoman for the company, said in an email. Not only that, but people seem to appreciate the drivers more, with Mack saying that during the Polar Vortex earlier this month, tipping was up by double digits in Detroit, Cleveland, Minneapolis and Chicago. And, for some reason, deliveries of buffalo chicken sandwiches jumped 37 percent. “You figure people are probably being more generous to their drivers because their drivers are the ones braving the conditions while you’re on your couch in your pajamas,� Mack said. Chicago cabdriver Kumar Patel said the cold translates into bigger tips for him, too. But the chill also seems to trigger some bad behavior as well, he said. “They get in and they say they have to smoke because it’s so cold,� Patel said. Still, he said, he can pick up a lot of fares in a short time. “They are going a block, sometimes only a half block,� Patel said.

The trend toward facial hair like stubble and beards has hurt razor sales, Procter & Gamble said. But the world’s largest consumer products company said shaving from the neck down is becoming more popular among men. So P&G is introducing a new razor called Gillette Body Razor that’s designed specifically for body shaving. The razor, which will be in stores midFebruary, will be the center of an ad campaign with the tagline: “The first razor built for the male terrain.� “Facial shaving is somewhat down, but body shaving is up, and we can take advantage of that,� CFO Jon Moeller said. Like most consumer product companies, P&G is trying to offset slower growth in developed markets with cost cuts and by expanding in emerging markets. It also is focusing on improving its grooming and beauty categories with

new products and heavier marketing. P&G, which is based in Cincinnati, said Friday that its net income fell 16 percent as P&G faced a tough comparison with the results a year ago. P&G also was hurt by the stronger dollar and nearly flat sales globally. Grooming sales globally were flat at $2.11 billion. Overall P&G, like most consumer product companies, is trying to offset slower growth in developed markets with cost cuts and by expanding in emerging markets. It also is focusing on improving its grooming and beauty categories with new products and heavier marketing. P&G hopes the Body Razor, which will retail for $7.97, will help rejuvenate the category. It found that 37 million men in the U.S., about 29 percent, have shaved some part of their body from the neck down in the past six months. Usually, men use other methods like hair removal cream, waxing or their girlfriend’s razor, said P&G spokeswoman Susan Oguche. “We felt there was an opportunity to make a product specifically designed for the curvature of the body,� she said.
