ByNiniek Karmini and Ali Kotarumalos The Associated Press JAKARTA, INDONESIA The scene had echoes of the Paris attacks: A bustling shopping area shaken by the blasts of suicide bomb- ers and gunfre as onlook- ers ded in terror. But when as- sault in central Jakarta was over, the death toll was far lower. Of the seven killed, five were the attackers themselves and only two were a Canadian and an Indonesian. Another 20 people were wounded. Still, authorities and an- alysts believe the violence that left the city of 10 mil- lion on edge for hours was a loud announcement of the Islamic State pres- ence in the largest Muslim-majority nation.

Supporters of the Islamic State group circulated a claim of responsibility on so- cial media resembling the previousmessages. The attackers carried handguns, grenades and homemade bombs and struck a Starbucks cafe and a trabc police booth in the Indonesian highest-profle attack in six years. Authorities said they found a large, undetonated bomb and fve smaller de- vices in a building near the cafe. we think their plan was to attack people and follow it up with a larger explosion when more peo- ple said Maj.

Anton Charliyan, the spokesman of national police. thank God it Jakarta police chief Maj. Gen. Tito Karnavian said the attackers had links with IS and were part of a group led by Bahrum Naim, an Indonesian militant who is now in Syria. The message said attack- ers carried out the Jakarta assault and had planted several bombs with timers.

It digered from Indonesian police on the number of at- tackers, saying there were four. It said they wore sui- cide belts and carried light weaponry. Jakarta is no stranger to terrorism, with the 2009 bombings of two hotels that killed seven people and in- jured more than 50. The bloodiest attack by Islamic extremists in Indonesia and in all of Asia was in 2002, when a nightclub bombing on the resort is- land of Bali killed 202 peo- ple, mostly foreigners. TERRORISM Islamic State militants claim deadly attack in Jakarta By LauranNeergaard The Associated Press WASHINGTON Harking back triumphant race into space, the Obama administration is launching what it calls a ef- fort to cure cancer.

Obama assigned Vice Pres- ident Joe Biden to fgure out how to speed that progress.

Details are still to come but topping wish list is increased research fund- ing and getting scientists to better share data to spur breakthroughs. a look at the state of cancer: Current impact The American Cancer Society predicts there will be nearly 1.7 million new cancer cases this year, and more than 595,000 deaths. Yet the death rate is dropping by 23 per- cent since its peak in 1991. mostly driven by im- provements in detection and treatment of the four most common cancers lung, breast, prostate and colorectal and also, for lung cancer, drops in smok- ing. Survival varies Five-year survival rates for most cancers are in- creasing.

Today, 89 per- cent for breast cancer and more than 90 percent for prostate and thyroid can- cers. More than two-thirds of patients survive at least five years with colorec- tal, cervical, uterine and kidney cancers and lym- phoma. Catching cancer before it spreads gives the patient the best survival chance, of- ten even better than those numbers. Consider colorec- tal cancer: A colonoscopy can prevent it by allowing doctors to spot and remove pre-cancerous polyps. Yet only about 6 in 10 people recommended for screen- ing, using colonoscopy or alternative tests, actually get it.

Far less progress has been made against pan- creatic and ovarian can- cers, harder to catch before they spread, or brain can- cer, which killed son Beau. What can Biden do? will not be cured this says Dr. Otis Brawley, the American Can- cer chief medical obcer. Nor will there be a sin- gle cure cancer one disease but hundreds.

Increasingly, patients at leading cancer centers are getting their tumor genes mapped to help guide treat- ment. If hospitals pool that genetic information, re- searchers can more rap- idly learn which drugs best match which patients, says Dr.

Victor Velculescu of Johns Hopkins University and the American Associ- ation of Cancer Research. AACR just began Project GENIE as a frst step, a da- tabase run by seven hospi- tals from the U.S., Canada, France and the Netherlands that so far have shared tu- mor data from about 17,000 patients. Velculescu says egorts could spur larger collaborations. Only a fraction of cancer patients get that kind of tu- mor testing today, in part becauseMedicare and other insurers routinely pay for it, Velculescu says. His group wants Medicare to change that.

HEALTH aims to speed up Gght against cancer ByBen Fox The Associated Press MIAMI Ten prisoners from Yemen who were held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been released and sent to the Middle Eastern nation of Oman for resettlement, obcials said Thursday, portraying it as a signifcant mile- stone in the long-stalled egort to shutter the de- tention center. The release, among the largest on a single day under President Barack Obama, puts the prison population below 100 for the first time since shortly after it opened in January 2002 to hold men suspected of links to al-Qaida and the Tal- iban. There are now 93 still held. Lee Wolosky, the State special en- voy for Guantanamo Clo- sure, said the U.S. expects to transfer the remaining prisoners who are cleared to leave, about a third of the total, by summer.

Guantanamo held nearly 680 prisoners at its peak in 2003 and about 245 when Obama took obce, pledging to close it as a symbol of overreach in the war against terror- ism and a needless propa- ganda symbol for enemies of the United States. Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced the re- lease of the Yemenis at a change-of-command cer- emony in Miami at U.S. Southern Command, which oversees Guanta- namo. He said the ad- ministration would sub- mit a plan to Congress, where many want to keep the prison open, to move those who be freed to a facility within the United States. everyone in Gitmo can be safely transferred to another country, so we need an Carter said, using a com- mon abbreviated name for the base on the south- eastern edge of Cuba.

RELEASE Fewer than 100 Gitmos prisoners leF; 10 leave BySuzan Fraser The Associated Press ANKARA, TURKEYJ Turkish tanks and artillery attacked the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria in retalia- tion for the suicide bomb- ing in Istanbul that killed 10 tourists, prime minister said Thursday the frst signif- cant strike against the Is- lamic extremists inmonths.

Turkey agreed last year to take on a larger role in the fght against IS amid two major attacks that left 135 people dead. But critics contend the country has shown only limited engage- ment, striking only when attacked and focusing in- stead on quelling Kurdish rebels. Turkey rejects the ac- cusations, pointing that it has opened its bases to the U.S.-led air campaign against IS boosted secu- rity along its 500-mile bor- der with Syria to try to pre- vent IS fghters from cross- ing it and cracked down on suspected terror cells in Turkey, detaining or de- porting thousands of mil- itants. Turkish forces are also training Iraqi Kurd- ish forces fghting the mil- itants. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said some 200 extremists had been killed over the past 48 hours in ogensive against IS along the Syria-Turkish border and near a Turkish camp in northern Iraq.

He did not rule out possible air- strikes against the group, although a day earlier he said Russia was obstruct- ing ability to con- duct airstrikes against IS in Syria. The Turkish leader said Ankara acted after deter- mining that IS was respon- sible for the sui- cide bombing Tuesday in main tourist dis- trict, just steps away from the landmark BlueMosque. All of the dead were Ger- man tourists. Turkish obcials say the bomber, a Syrian born in 1988, was abliated with the Islamic State group and en- tered Turkey by posing as a refugee. Interior Minister Efkan Ala said seven people had been detained in con- nection with the bombing.

Ryan, in his third month as speaker, is determined to make his chamber a sounding board of ideas. He expect them to become law or even necessarily pass the House, but he hopes to put forward a program that can be ad- opted by the eventual GOP presidential nominee, in- cluding a long-promised but never-delivered Repub- lican alternative to Presi- dent Barack health care law. important for us to offer a positive, solu- tions-oriented approach and agenda to the Ameri- can people so that they can Ryan told reporters at a Baltimore hotel where the retreat was taking place.

nellandother Senate lead- ers dis- agree and in fact applaud pro- gram. But they say the House, with its ability to move quickly at the whims of the major- ity, is better suited to ad- vance such a program than the slower-moving Senate, where minority Democrats can throw up countless roadblocks along the way. House is just simply more nimble andmore able to control its agenda and move its agenda than the said Senate Whip John Cornyn of Texas. House is in a better posi- tion, my own view, to take the lead on that agenda and to demonstrate the solu- tions that we also a stylistic diger- ence between Ryan, 45, a fresh young leader and self- described policy wonk, and McConnell, 73, a cautious pragmatist deeply schooled in the limits of the legisla- tive process. Another major factor: GOP control of the House is secure and all but cer- tain to be renewed in No- vember, no matter whom Republicans pick as their presidential nominee.

But the Senate is at risk of turning over to Dem- ocratic control and in- deed, some Republicans view that outcome as all but guaranteed if Donald Trump or Texas Sen. Ted Cruz becomes the presiden- tial nominee. McConnell is laser-focused on protect- ing vulnerable Republican incumbents in Ohio, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Illinois, and has made clear that he will only take up pieces of the House agenda insofar as it helps those lawmakers. POLITICS House, Senate GOP go separate ways Ryan Doris Marjorie (Von Lehe) Bauleke The eldest of three, Doris was born in LeSueur MN to Irene and Oscar Von Lehe. The salt of the earth, practi- cal good sense of farm life shaped her good heart for 91 years.

At 14 she met the love of her life, Forrest Falton Bauleke in 4H. Their romance became long dis- tance as Doris attended business school in Minne- apolis while Forrest fought in the South Pacific in WW II. She drove across country (5 flat tires) to marry her Marine in CA, returning to farm in MN. After the birth of their first two sons, Richard and Ronald, they moved to CA, owning a chicken ranch in Corona for 15 years, where sons Roger and Randall where born, and then to Novato for 50 years. Doris worked as a bookkeeper, yet always was most inter- ested in people.

She dedi- cated countless hours to her church and helping others. A loving grand- mother, she was always willing to help as needed, including helping to raise her youngest grandson Zach Bauleke, with grand- parents Barbara and John Krajewski. Predeceased by husband, Forrest, brother, Don, and two sons, Roger and Randy, Doris is survived by her sister Joyce and Gordon Swenson of Duluth, sister- in-law Arlene and Bert Karel of Henderson MN, two sons Dick and Mary Jane of Ventura, Ron and Cindy of Bellingham WA, daughter-in-law, Dawn and Lauren Lineman of Liver- more, 8 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. A celebration of her life will be at her beloved Novato United Methodist Church, Saturday, January 16, at 2 pm. Memorials may be made to the Church or a favorite charity for the homeless.
