The unemployment rate in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Metropolitan Statistical Area continued a four-month rise in August, hitting 9.4 percent, the highest in a year. August also was the 29th consecutive month the local jobless rate was highest among Pennsylvanias 14 large employment markets. Pennsylvanias rate increased two-tenths of a percentage point over the month to 8.1 percent, while the nations rate decreased twotenths, to 8.1 percent. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre rate was unchanged over the year, as was Pennsylvanias, while the U.S. rate was down a full percentage point. Seasonally adjusted total non-farm jobs in the region increased by 1,300 over the month to 258,700 and 4,000 over the year, an increase of 1.6 percent. That made this one of only three regions in Pennsylvania to post positive job gains both month-tomonth and year-to-year, along with Philadelphia and Reading.

WILKES-BARRE The head of the citys Department of Public Works was disciplined last year after evidence surfaced that he had used city employees to work on his truck at the DPW garage, a city official confirmed Monday. The incident involving Kenneth Pahler is the latest of several controversies surrounding his employment with the city that have led to disciplinary action. In 2010, Pahler faced disciplinary action after the city learned he had used a backhoe to clear debris from his home. Most recently he and Mayor Tom Leighton have come under investigation for failing to document their usage of city fuel in their private vehicles. The disciplinary action taken relating to the truck repair had remained secret until Monday, when Drew McLaughlin, administrative coordinator for the city, confirmed the action after being provided a copy of a photo that shows Pahlers truck up on a lift at the DPW garage. The photo was provided to The Times Leader by Frank Sorick, president of the Wilkes-Barre Taxpayers Association. Sorick said someone recently sent him the photo anonymously. He said he released it in hopesitwouldpromptaninvestigationofPahler, not knowing the city was already aware of the issue. McLaughlin said the city was provided a copy of a photo of Pahlers truck on the lift about a year ago, though he could not be certain if the photo is the same one The Times Leader received. It was brought to the attention of a city official

HENDERSON, Nev. Nearing their first face-off, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are hunkering down for intense preparations ahead of Wednesdays presidential debate, where the GOP nominee hopes to change the trajectory of the White House race. Obama was huddling Monday with top advisers at a desert resort in Nevada. Romney had practice planned in Massachusetts, where he also spent most of the
weekend working with his debate team. The Republican challenger was then headed to Denver, the site of the first debate, later Monday for a rally and more preparation for the high-stakes event. Five weeks from Election Day, polls show Romney trailing Obama in many of the nine states that will determine the outcome of the White House race. The three October debates give Romney one of his best opportunities to stem Obamas momentum and convince the public to back his vision for the nations future.
What Im most concerned about is having a serious discussion about what we need to do to keep the country growing and restore security to hardworking AP PHOTO Americans, Obama said during a rally in Las Vegas Sunday night.

Luzerne County Council will hold a special meeting at 6:45 p.m. today in the courthouse jury room on the second floor to discuss the Flood Protection Authority.
Stephen A. Urban has asked his fellow Luzerne County Council members to hold off on tonights scheduled vote vacating four of five county Flood Protection Authority seats -- including his own -until they seek an independent legal opinion. County Solicitor Vito DeLuca recently advised council the appointments of four board members should be declared invalid because the state never approved an authority article of incorporation change initiated by the prior county administration. The change attempted to alter

the boards structure from three commissioners, the planning/ zoning director and an assistant county engineer to five citizens. Three citizens were appointed, and Urban and Planning/Zoning Director Adrian Merolli remain on until their terms expire. Urban, the authority chairman, said the incorporation change was unnecessary and said the authoritys new composition was covered by a bylaw revision the authority approved in November, according to a letter he emailed Monday to council Chairman Tim
Luzerne County has advertised a purchasing director position vacated when Frank Pugliese recently resigned to accept another job. The position pays $40,000 to $50,000. Resumes are due Oct. 10.

McGinley. The letter, written on behalf of the entire authority, asks council and county Manager Robert Lawton to take no action until an independent opinion is obtained from the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Associations legal counsel. The authority remains willing to work with the county to resolve
this matter, Urban wrote. DeLuca said he exhaustively researched municipal authority law and is confident articles of incorporation are necessary to change the structure of an authority. The board sets their own bylaws for how they conduct their own affairs, but bylaws cant change who is appointed to serve or what the qualifications are for being appointed to the board, DeLuca said. Bylaws absolutely dont take precedence over articles of incorporation, he said. With no state-approved corpo-
ration amendment, the authority must revert to its original structure, DeLuca said. Merolli would stay put. An assistant engineer would be added. The countys home rule charter says the three authority seats formerly held by commissioners must be appointed by the manager, subject to council confirmation. DeLuca said he found case law indicating the new authority board wont have to ratify all decisions made by the board this year to date. McGinley said council will discuss the matter before voting. DeLuca said he will attend the meeting and present all options to council. In addition to Urban, citizen board members William Falls, Doug Ayers and Kevin OBrien would lose their seats if council votes to vacate the positions.
COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE A man charged with assaulting his wife in May 2011 pleaded no contest Monday to a related charge. Robert Simkonis, 23, of North Main Avenue, Scranton, entered the plea to a charge of simple assault. Simkonis, who was scheduled to stand trial on related charges beginning Monday, faces a maximum of two years in prison when sentenced on Nov. 16, Judge Joseph Sklarosky, Jr., said. Assistant District Attorney William Finnegan said Simkonis must complete anger management and attend any treat-
ment recommended. According to court papers, on May 7, 2011, Stephanie Simkonis reported she was assaulted by her husband of 13 months, Robert Simkonis. Stephanie Simkonis said the two began to argue for unknown reasons and that when she was approached by her husband she feared for her safety and yelled for help. Simkonis said her husband covered her moth and nose to prevent her from yelling. WILKES-BARRE A Dupont man charged with several counts of retail theft in four separate incidents pleaded guilty Monday to six different charges. James Wardell, 39, of Main Street, entered the plea to four counts of retail
DORRANCE TWP. Royce Engler, chairman of the township board of supervisors, said Monday that a $3,546.12 payment to Meiser & Earl Inc. of State College covered expenses submitted by a hydro geologist who presented information on the Pennsy Supply quarry project. The geologist, Robert Hershey, offered expert commentary at a public hearing that questioned the findings of Aiken Engineering and its representative Rick Caranfa during testimony presented on proposed project. The payment was included in the financial statement for September; the report listed $35,882.86 in total expenses. The hearings are scheduled to resume on Oct. 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the municipal building. Engler wasnt certain if the remittance to Meiser & Earl is a total amount. He said , however, that if Hershey is called again, the township might incur additional expenses. At the conclusion of the most recent session of the hearing on Sept. 12, attorney George Asimos, counsel for Pennsy, asked for a rebuttal meeting after Hershey disputed many of the findings in reports submitted by other Aiken representatives and Caranfa at prior hearings on Pennsys conditional use request. That rebuttal testimony was originally scheduled on Sept. 25 but later postponed to Oct. 18. Also, Engler would comment only briefly on a pending lawsuit filed by Button Oil Co. of Mountain Top against the township zoning officer, Alan Snelson. The supervisors met in executive session before their regular meeting to discuss pending litigation, although it wasnt stated that it was the Button case. Engler said the supervisors couldnt comment because they havent been served with the suit as yet. He said township officials, including Snelson, are covered by insurance. He said legal counsel would probably be provided by the insurance firm. The supervisors did table a request by Button for a 90-day extension on its development plan, pending the receipt from Button of a highway occupancy permit, as well as zoning hearing variance, a copy of the state Labor & Industry Department permit and additional items which werent specified. In other matters: The supervisors received five bids (from the Bognet Company of Hazleton, AirCon of Larksville, Troy Mechanical of Moosic, Don Cooper of Nanticoke and Spotts Brothers of Schuylkill Haven) for a furnace installation project at the township building. The bids were referred for review to the township engineer, Pennoni Associates of Wilkes-Barre. The supervisors scheduled a bidawarding on Oct. 9 at 6 p.m., which is also the date of their first 2013 budget meeting. Another budget session has been scheduled on Oct. 23.
theft and one count each of defiant trespass and disorderly conduct. Judge David Lupas said Wardell will be sentenced on Dec. 4. He faces a maximum of seven years in prison on each of the retail theft charges. According to court papers, on Nov. 29, 2011 police said Wardell entered the Walmart on Route 315 in Pittston Township and tried to steal $419 in merchandise. On Oct. 15, 2011 employees of Quinns Market in Pittston reported two separate incidents in which Wardell entered the store and tried to take $390 and $97 worth of merchandise. On Sept. 12, 2011, police said, Wardell entered Sabatellis Market in Pittston and tried to steal cookies worth $6.

KINGSTON -- Discussions of changes to the municipalitys flood zone map and the zoning laws and insurance fees that relate to it dominated Monday nights council meeting. By, Nov. 9, Kingston will have to adopt a state and federally mandated flood plain ordinance that expands and clarifies what is already stated in Kingstons laws. When this adoption goes into effect, some zones will change. This will in turn affect the insurance rates property owners are paying. Much of the discussion centered on what are known as x zones. These are zones adjacent to flood plains, for which flood insurance is not mandatory but could be purchased by property owners at reduced rates. It is the burden of the property owner,
however, to seek out the reduced rate. Adding to the confusion, many Kingston property owners who have sought the reduced rate have received letters from the Federal Emergency Management Agency asking that they prove that their residency is in an x zone. Council member Nancy Cooper was particularly troubled by this and said FEMA currently has copies of all of the boroughs zoning maps. She was joined by Council Vice President Robert Thompson Jr. when they implored residents to proactively contact FEMA and their insurance carriers to obtain lower insurance rates. They both pointed to multiple incidents
in which residents saw their rates raise by nearly 50 percent. Thompson, who works on this issue by day as a representative for State Farm Insurance, said FEMA is extremely backed up and repeated his warning for residents to contact them as soon as possible. In other matters, Second Avenue resident Kim Krupsha said a single-family home on Second Avenue is, in her opinion, running a school and day care. She estimates that roughly 25 children are being schooled there on weekdays, and she believes some of them are pre-school age. Krupsha said she saw an individual from the home inform Kingston Zoning Officer Joe Marut that children at the house are being home-schooled. Kingston solicitor Harry Mattern said he was aware of the issue and he would research the zoning and whether a school was being operated at the location.

Swoyersville Council will next meet on November 5 at 5:30 pm.
SWOYERSVILLE -- Borough Council member Chris Concert presented a check to the boroughs fire department in the amount of $2,100 at Monday nights meeting. The check was the result of a benefit held on Sept. 9 by Concert and members of Iron Cowboy!, a local band. This is not simply money, but a show of gratitude for the good work these men do, said Concert, indicating the department went above and beyond during the flooding of 2011. In another matter, council accepted a bid of $2,665 from contractor Neil-Lynn Inc. to dig a lateral connecting a property on Lackawanna Avenue to the borough sewer system.
Council also finalized amendments to the recycling and refuse ordinances. Borough Secretary Gene Breznay said the amendments basically redefined terms, reflecting changes in recycling practices. The amendments will allow the borough to continue to draw state funding for its recycling program. Ed Connor, head of the ambulance department, told council members that an area resident had donated reflective vests for those participating in coin drops on local roadways. He said local organizations wishing to borrow the vests may call the
borough office. John Lykon, Scott Street, addressed council with concerns about trees in the borough with branches obstructing sidewalks, creating a safety concern. Zoning officer Joesph Ruscavage said the borough did have a tree ordinance and he would look into its specifics and report back to council. Steve Simko, Harding, asked that council write a letter to the Luzerne County Zoning Board, expressing disapproval of a proposed natural gas compressor station in West Wyoming. Although the UGI Energy Services original zoning request was denied, Simko said that he anticipates an appeal by UGI. Council President Ron Alunni said council would look into the specifics of this matter and report back next month.

PLYMOUTH TWP. -- Township Supervisor Joseph Yudichak announced Monday the work on Mountain Village has been completed. The work on Avondale Hill is in process, and is expected to be completed within the next five to six weeks. On Oct. 12 at 10 a.m., the bid opening for the Tilbury Terrace temporary access road will take place at the townships municipal building. The work will be awarded to the
lowest bidder. In other matters: Zoning Officer Ron Demchak said several buyers from out of town are buying damaged structures that are not worthy of being rebuilt. Demchak asked all prospective buyers contact him at (570) 7795513 before making any purchases. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved all of the projects on the townships project worksheet. FEMA has agreed to award the township more than $1.36 million for damage resulting
from Tropical Storm Lee and $7,919.23 for Hurricane Irene damage. The supervisors passed a motion to make East Popular Street a one-way during weekends in October because of the Horror Hall fundraiser event. Horror Hall will be open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the month . The proceeds from the annual event will go to the fire department. Alan Baranski of NEPA Alliance said the township is in good financial standing going into the fourth quarter of the year.

Like the man hes hoping to beat in the race to represent the 11th Congressional District, Gene Stilp is eager to share the stage with his more well-known and well-funded opponent. Stilp, the Democratic challenger, has asked incumbent Republican Lou Barletta to meet him in a series of debates in each of the nine counties that now com-

he has a light step and a twinkle in her eye, and Helen Karlo says bowling has something to do with both. It keeps me moving, she said Monday night, shortly before fellow members of the Swoyersville Bowlerettes sang Happy Birthday in honor of her 90th. Thats her age, mind you, certainly not her bowling score. Her average this year is 122, and it was even better before she injured her rotator cuff two years
ago in a fall. I remember bowling 290 (out of a perfect 300), said Karlo, a retired sewing machine operator from Ashley who has been knocking down pins since she was 17. I just liked sports, she said, describing herself as a tomboy. I used to play baseball with the boys, and shoot marbles. My mother wanted to hide my bag (of marbles) so I couldnt play anymore, but Id hide it on her and keep going. When it came to bowling, Karlo led the way for her family with her father and later her husband joining her at the
lanes. At her most active point, she bowled five days a week (shes down to two) and took part in state tournaments. Even during the difficult years when she was primary caregiver for her invalid daughter, Karlo managed to carve out some time for bowling. It helped, she said. Now that her husband, George, and daughter, Ann Marie, have passed away, Karlo considers her bowling friends a family of sorts.

One portion of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, that went into effect Monday was greeted with open arms by an area hospital even though its among the more than 2,220 facilities nationwide being penalized on its Medicare reimbursement rates because of the law. Geisinger Wyoming Valleys Chief
Quality Officer Dr. John Bulger said reductions in hospitals Medicare payments from the federal government if too many patients are readmitted within 30 days of discharge due to complications are a step in the right direction to make patient care better and to make hospital practices more transparent. He said Geisinger has been preaching and practicing accountability for years and hes glad to see all facilities will be held to a higher standard. Even though the hospital prides itself on providing high quality patient care, it was slightly over the expected readmission rate for
pneumonia patients over the past three years, and as a result will see its Medicare payments decreased by .04 percent for this fiscal year. Readmissions are something that are very impactful on patients, Bulger said, and he believes the financial penalties will make hospitals improve their operations. For the first year, the penalty is capped at 1 percent of a hospitals Medicare payments, Bulger said. And for the time being, under the law, hospitals are being

WILKES-BARRE A Dupont woman charged with taking more than $17,000 worth of an elderly womans jewelry that her boyfriend later sold to support a heroin addiction was sentenced Monday to 30 months in the countys Intermediate Punishment Program. Denise A. Tranell, 47, of Wyoming Avenue, was sentenced on a charge of theft and must serve the first 30 days of her sentence at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility, Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. said. After being released from prison, Tranell, who pleaded guilty to the charge in July, will be required to serve six months on house arrest, Sklarosky said. According to court papers, on Oct. 5, 2011, Elaine German, 88, and her daughter, Margery Rifkin, reported to police that a number of items, including jewelry and gold coins, were taken from Germans Kingston apartment.
Police later learned that Tranell was employed by German as a home health nurse, and that her boyfriend, Patrick John Gardner, had cashed in several pieces of jewelry and coins in Exeter. Tranell told police a few days later that she took the items and gave them to Gardner, who cashed them in to support his heroin habit. Gardner, 47, also of Dupont, was convicted by a Luzerne County jury in May on charges of criminal conspiracy to commit theft and receiv-
ing stolen property. Gardner was sentenced in July to 14 to 28 months in state prison on the charges, and has appealed that sentence to the state Superior Court. Both Sklarosky, and Judge David Lupas, who presided over Gardners trial, said the two must pay a total of $17,471 in restitution to German. Sklarosky said Tranell also must complete 25 hours of community service. Tranell and Gardner were ordered to have no contact with German.

BEAR CREEK TWP. -- A road that has been a recurring headache for Bear Creek Township could soon be no more trouble than any other township road, if formal action to acquire the road is approved later this month. Township Solicitor William Vinsko told the board of supervisors on Monday night that the townships request to acquire Weiss Road will be heard in Luzerne County Court in a hearing targeted for Oct. 26. The road, which is part of Dennison Township, is the only ac-
cess road for the approximately 160 homes in White Haven Poconos. In past meetings, the supervisors have discussed how a vague agreement indicating that Bear Creek Township is responsible for maintenance of the road has led to deterioration of the roadway. Supervisors said Dennison Township pointed to the agreement as reason not to perform repairs and Bear Creek Township was reluctant to spend taxpayers money to repair and pave a road they did not own. With the road now in need of significant repairs and hundreds of township residents inconve-
nienced by the roads condition, Bear Creek is taking the formal action to acquire the road and make it part of the township, supervisors have said, and plans are under way for upcoming repairs. Vinsko said that if no one objects to the acquisition, it would be advertised before final approval. The move would allow Bear Creek Township to receive the liquid fuels funds for road maintenance and formally make the road, which does not have any residences located on it, part of the township. In other business, the supervisors approved a resolution
amending the flood plain management plan. The move was necessary to bring the township into compliance with Federal Emergency Management Agency requirements, supervisors said. Only three parcels in Bear Creek Village were added to the flood plain by the redrawn plans, they said. The resolution is available on the township website, and residents can check FEMAs site to determine if their property is located in the flood plain. The board also approved the hiring of Haley McElnea as a recycling employee.
JACKSON TWP. -- Resident Sharon Ellsworth expressed her continued concern over drainage issues on Timbergrove Road at the township supervisors meeting on Monday evening. Ellsworth has been fighting for a resolution of the problem for almost 10 years. A meeting is scheduled this morning with the township supervisors, Ellsworth
and the proper utilities representatives to discuss what can be done to correct the situation. Ellsworth said she is particularly concerned about large rocks washing down onto her property and the potential for damage. In the resident comment portion of the meeting, resident Mary Dockeray asked that a summary of the township bills be included in the board meetings so the taxpayers can know what is
being paid out each month. She also asked that the information discussed at the compost meetings in Exeter be addressed at the board meetings as well. Township Supervisor Tim Evans said the information in question is available anytime at the township office, but the board would take the suggestion under consideration.

measured only on three medical conditions: pneumonia, heart attack and heart failure. The penalties gradually will rise until 3 percent of Medicare payments to hospitals are at risk, according to the Associated Press, which reported that Medicare is considering holding hospitals accountable on four more measures: joint replacement, stenting, heart bypass and treatment of stroke. Bulger said hospitals and health systems such as Geisinger have been aware of the law and have been changing practices and procedures to reduce readmissions and therefore fewer penalties. According to a story in Kaiser Health News, with nearly one in five Medicare patients returning to the hospital within a month of discharge, the government considers readmissions a prime symptom of an overly expensive and uncoordinated health system. Hospitals have had little financial incentive to ensure patients get the care they need once they leave, and in fact they benefit financially when patients dont recover and return for more treat-
ment. Geisinger Wyoming Valley isnt the only local hospital that will be penalized this fiscal year, according to a report compiled by Kaiser Health News. Other local hospitals that failed to meet the readmission goals include: Berwick Hospital Center, penalized at a rate of .63 percent; Hazleton General Hospital, 1 percent; Moses Taylor Hospital, .03 percent; and Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, .02 percent. The penalties are based on how many patients a facility was over a Medicare formula for expected readmission rates. Geisinger Community Medical Center, Pocono Medical Center and three hospitals that fall under the Commonwealth Health brand -- Regional Hospital of Scranton, Tyler Memorial Hospital and Wilkes-Barre General Hospital -were among the one-third of hospitals nationwide that met the goals over the past three years. A statement issued by Commonwealth Health noted, The focus to reduce readmissions is a top priority for Commonwealth Health, as it is for the entire health care industry. Our ongoing goal is to provide high quality, coordinated and patient-centered care that helps prevent avoidable readmissions. showed they died from carbon monoxide poisoning, Lisman said. City Assistant Fire Chief Ed Snarski said firefighters made two attempts to save the women only to be pushed back by heavy smoke and flames. City Detective Ron Foy, who along with county Detective Lt. Daniel Yursha investigated the deadly blaze, testified that Doreen Kostelnick, a relative and neighbor, allegedly made a statement she saw Derhammer walking away from the house 10 minutes before the flames were first reported to 911. Doreen Kostelnick did not testify at the preliminary hearing. Carolyn Kostelnicks call to 911 at 1:52 a.m. was played when Foy testified. She clearly had trouble breathing and repeatedly coughed yelling for her mother. The call disconnected at 1:55 a.m. after she was heard moaning, Im dying. Trooper Ron Jarocha, state police deputy fire marshal, said the fire originated on the rear porch. Derhammer remains jailed without bail. In an unrelated case, he was sentenced in April 2011 to 40 to 80 months in state prison after he was convicted by a county jury of failing to register an address as a sex offender after he was kicked out of the Chester Street house.

bate him in each of the nine counties is ambitious, but it makes sense. Since the 11th was so radically redrawn to favor a Republican candidate that it now stretches over nine counties, many of the constituents in these counties will need to be introduced to both candidates. Stilp, of Dauphin County, said having a debate or forum in each county is the best way for voters to decide who they will support. The people of the 11th District should have the chance to see Mr. Barletta and myself on the same stage to hear our views
on the vital issues of the day and how they will be affected by them in their home county, Stilp said. There are clear differences between me and Mr.
Barletta and the voters should have a chance to see them in person, not in 30-second commercials. Lance Stange, Barlettas cam-
paign manager, said debates are important and show the contrast between the candidates to the voters. He said the campaigns goal has been to guarantee every voter in the district has the opportunity to hear or watch the candidates debate. Every person in this district that wishes to see or hear a debate will have an opportunity to do so whether it is in person, on television, on radio or on the Internet, Stange said. The nine counties (all or part) in the 11th District are: Wyoming, Luzerne, Carbon, Northumberland, Montour, Columbia, Perry, Dauphin, and Cumberland. The district stretches about 200 miles from end to end.
cy Violi and Mary Hanlon Mirabito established a case against Derhammer, sending two counts of criminal homicide, four counts of arson and a single count of criminal attempt to commit homicide to Luzerne County Court. Attorney Thomas Marsilio, who represents Derhammer along with attorneys William Watt III and Lawrence Kansky, said his client passed a polygraph and a voice stress test, two examinations that are not admissible in court. Joseph Kostelnick testified he was awakened by the women screaming that there was a fire. He said he told them to get out and call 911. It was filled with black smoke. You couldnt see nothing, Joseph Kostelnick said. When questioned by Watt, Joseph Kostelnick said Carolyn kept saying, Dad, I cant see, I cant see. Joseph Kostelnick said he believed Carolyn and Nancy made it outside. He ran to a neighbors house to alert them to the blaze. Acting Coroner William Lisman testified Carolyn Kostelnick was found in a middle bedroom and Nancy Kostelnick was found in the bedrooms doorway. An autopsy

WASHINGTON The Obama administration on Monday rejected a demand from a senior Republican lawmaker that the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to resign. Rep. Peter King of New York said last week Susan Rices explanation of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was a foreign policy

failure. He told CNN that Rice a possible candidate for secretary of state if President Barack Obama wins re-election should resign for comments she made five days after the attack saying the evidence gathered at that point indicated it was not a premeditated or coordinated strike. Officials now say it was a planned terrorist attack distinct from the mob protests in the Arab world over a U.S.-made Internet video ridiculing Islam. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Monday that Secreta-
ry of State Hillary Rodham Clinton believes Rice has done a superb job. The department completely rejects calls for Rices resignation, Nuland said. Rice has also received strong support from Democratic senators, who accuse Republicans of trying to politicize the attack in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Speaking on MSNBC, Republican Sen. John McCain disagreed with King and said Rice shouldnt resign. On Friday, U.S. intelligence officials sought to explain why the Obama ad-
ministrations understanding of the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate Benghazi is evolving. In the days immediately after the attack, the administration said it believed it was a spontaneous reaction to an antiIslamic video that ridiculed Islams Prophet Muhammad and ignited mob protests on U.S. embassies around the Middle East and in North Africa. Now, the administration has begun to call it a terrorist attack carried out by al-Qaidalinked militants and explain that it was a planned attack distinct from the mob protests in the region.

The justices appeared ready to impose new limits on lawsuits brought in U.S. courts over human rights violations abroad. The argument was the first in a term that holds the prospect for major rulings about affirmative action, gay marriage and voting rights. Meeting on the first Monday in October, as required by law, the justices entered the crowded marble courtroom for the first time since their momentous decision in late June that upheld President Barack Obamas health care overhaul.

SCARAMENTO. CALIF.
Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation that makes California the first state to ban a controversial form of psychotherapy thats aimed at making gay teenagers straight. Effective Jan. 1, mental health practitioners are prohibited from performing sexual orientation change efforts known as reparative or conversion therapy for anyone under 18. The therapies have no basis in science or medicine and they will now be relegated to the dustbin of quackery, Brown said in a statement. But some organizations and ministries continue to use counseling and prayer to try to help conflicted Christians rid themselves of unwanted homosexual inclinations.

Afghan police secure the site of a suicide bombing Monday in Khost, Afghanistan. The suicide bomber was driving a motorcycle packed with explosives and rammed it into a patrol of Afghan and international forces.
The Syrian foreign minister accused the U.S. and its allies of stoking terrorism in his country, delivering an uncompromising message before the United Nations on Monday as fighting spread in a centerpiece of Syrias cultural heritage, the historic Old City of Aleppo. Elsewhere in the country, a government air raid on a northern town killed at least 21 people, activists said. Addressing the U.N. General Assemblys annual ministerial meeting, Walid al-Moallem denounced countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey for supporting the opposition, and also lashed out at calls in Washington and in Arab and European capitals for President Bashar Assad to step down.
DAMASCUS, SYRIA
Four men were charged in a shooting at a Veterans of Foreign War post in Florida that killed two people and critically wounded another, authorities said Monday. The gunfire happened after a fight Sunday morning in the VFWs parking lot as a motorcycle club gathered for a charity ride. Police have not said whether the men arrested or the shooting victims were VFW members or with the motorcycle club, known as the Warlocks. Authorities have not said what started the fight. Police said members of the Pennsylvania Warlocks motorcycle club came to Florida to establish a chapter in Seminole County a few months ago, but said they are not associated with the Florida Warlocks, the first chapter established for a club that has grown since it was founded more than four decades ago, according to the groups website.
ABUL, Afghanistan A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a motorcycle packed with explosives into a joint U.S.-Afghan patrol on Monday, killing 14 people including three Americans in the latest attack on an increasingly fraught program to help Afghan forces take over security so foreign troops can withdraw from the country over the next two years. The attack followed more American casualties over the weekend that pushed the U.S. militarys death toll for the 11-year-war above 2,000 a figure that has climbed steadily in recent months as attacks on the so-called partnering initiative have risen. Joint patrols between NATO and Afghan forces, like the one targeted Monday, have been limited following a tide of attacks by Afghan soldiers and police on their international allies. Last month, the U.S. military issued new orders that require units to get approval from superiors before conducting operations with Afghans. Two weeks later, U.S. officials said most missions were being conducted with Afghans again, though the system of approvals remained in place. The close contact coalition forces working side by side with Afghan troops as advisers, mentors and trainers is a key part of the U.S. strategy for putting the Afghans in the lead as it and other nations prepare to pull out their

last combat troops by the end of 2014. But the rising death toll for international troops has raised troubling questions about whether they will achieve their aim, boosting calls inside the alliance for a pullout as soon as possible and jeopardizing the goal of training the Afghans to fully secure their country. In the latest attack, the bomber struck the mixed police and military patrol shortly after they got out of their vehicles to walk through a market area in the eastern city of Khost. It was a reminder that the insurgency is still fighting hard after 11 years of a U.S.-led war to defeat the militants. In addition to three Americans and
their translator, six civilians and four police officers were killed in the explosion, provincial government spokesman Baryalai Wakman said. The police officers were part of a specialized quickreaction force, he added. Blood could be seen on the market road as Afghan police and soldiers tried to clean up the area after the blast. Slippers and bicycle parts were strewn about. I heard the explosion and came right to this area. I saw the dead bodies of policemen and of civilians right here, said policeman Hashmat Khan, who ran to the site of the blast from his job as security for a nearby bank.
WASHINGTON A typical middle-income family making $40,000 to $64,000 a year could see its taxes go up by $2,000 next year if lawmakers fail to renew a lengthy roster of tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year, according to a new report Monday Taxpayers across the income spectrum would be hit with large tax hikes, the Tax Policy Center said in its study, with households in the top 1 percent income range seeing an average tax increase of more than $120,000, while a family making between $110,000 to $140,000 could see a tax hike in the $6,000 range. All told, the government would reap more than $500 billion in new revenue if a full menu of tax cuts were allowed to expire. The expiring provisions include Bush-era cuts on wage and investment income and cuts for married couples and families with children, among others. Also expiring is a 2 percentage point temporary payroll tax cut championed by President Barack Obama. Economists warn that the looming tax hikes, combined with $109 billion in automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect in January, could throw the fragile economy back into recession if Washington doesnt act. The automatic spending cuts are coming due because of the failure of last years deficit supercommittee to strike a bargain. The combination of the sharp tax hikes and spending cuts has been dubbed a fiscal cliff. The fiscal cliff threatens an unprecedented tax increase at year end, says the report. Cumulatively, the country would see a 5 percentage point jump in its average tax rate, which works out to taxes on the top 1 percent jumping by more than 7 percentage points and about 4 percentage points for most people earning below $100,000 a year. Put another way, people in the $40,000-$64,000 income range would see their average federal tax rate jump from 14 percent to 17.8 percent or an increase in their overall federal bill of 27 percent. All told, almost 90 percent of all households would face a tax increase, though the top 20 percent of earners would bear 60 percent of the overall cost.
TEHRAN, Iran For weeks, a manifesto complaining about Irans stumbling economy circulated in secret among factories and workshops. Organizers asked for signatures and the pages began to fill up. In the end, about 10,000 names were attached to the petition addressed to Irans labor minister in one of the most wide-reaching public outcries over the state of the countrys economy, which has received a double pounding from tightening Western sanctions and alleged mismanagement by President Mahmoud Ahmadine-
jads government. The rare protest document described to The Associated Press this week by labor activists and others suggests growing anxiety among Irans vast and potentially powerful working class as the ruling system struggles with the latest sanctions, which have targeted critical oil exports and blackballed Iran from international banking networks. It also appears to reinforce the U.S. and European assertions that the economic squeeze is bringing increasing pressures on Iranian authorities. President Barack Obama and others argue that sanctions
and diplomacy are the best way to wring concessions over Irans nuclear program even as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushes for a red line declaration that could trigger military action. While Irans leadership still has broad-based public support in the nuclear standoff with the West, the petition and sporadic street demonstrations over the slumping economy suggest a growing distinction between the national pride of nuclear technology and the economic hardships from Tehrans defiance. The Iranian currency, the rial, hit another all-time low against the dollar Monday.

HE Commonwealth Medical College the regions startup effort to get more doctors to practice medicine in Northeastern Pennsylvania continues to show signs of life, and its new dean intends to let people know recovery is possible. He plans to ask for the communitys continued philanthropy, something that has lagged during the Scranton-based colleges financial distress. The three-year-old institution was stung by a significant funding shortfall that in 2011 prompted layoffs and other cutbacks, but it emerged from its probationary status in June; it expects to graduate its first docs next spring and take on even larger classes, of about 100 students, in future years. I can look (potential donors) in the eye and tell them weve come through the worst of it, said Dr. Steven J. Scheinman, who assumed TCMCs top post only about three weeks ago. For residents of Lackawanna, Luzerne and surrounding counties, more is at stake than the prestige of one day having a thriving medical school in their midst. TCMC could, over time, generate two things seemingly in perpetual short supply across the region: high-paying jobs and, by virtue of its graduates sticking close to home to pursue careers, accessible health care.

You ignore the ringing phone or check caller ID, but robocallers are relentless. The Do Not Call list was created nearly a decade ago because marketers got out of control.

ve read letters and articles in which people say, Theres not enough time to implement the voter ID law with only weeks until the election. I dont know if people realize the voter ID law was signed March 14. At that time, there was a plan set in motion by the state. If people say that they are experiencing problems now, I think its because they purposely did nothing to try to obtain an ID, hoping that the law would be rescinded.
e have a president who is the master of deception. Obama and his administration destroyed our space program,
outsourcing it to the Russians at $50 million a pop. Operating through the U.S. Export-Import Bank, he provided $2.84 billion to finance oil drilling in Colombia. The money goes to Reficar, a wholly owned Colombian government company, yet he was against the Keystone XL Pipeline. He routinely advances the interests of foreign companies over American ones. His job czar Jeff Immelt, CEO of GE, outsourced its entire medical division to China. You get the picture, voters. Do your homework and vote intelligently, not strictly by party.

ilkes-Barre Central Court officially closed last week after six years in the Thomas C. Thomas Building on East Union Street, Wilkes-Barre. Luzerne County officials closed Central Court in an attempt to save $150,000 to offset a projected $1.25 million county deficit. Preliminary hearings and arraignments were held at Central Court and have since been transferred to one of 17 magisterial district courts, depending on where an alleged offense occurred. A worker who did not want to give his name removes the Central Court signs from the building on Monday.

done during this summer, but there was a lot of prep work and planning last year. Its not an excuse, but every day they were dealing with something, he said. Suppon also pointed to state cuts that left after-school tutoring programs out of the budget. We were seeing significant improvements through after-school tutoring and thats gone, he said. Upon releasing state test results Sept., 21, Tomalis noted the percentage of students statewide scoring proficient or better in math declined by 1.4 percent while the percentage in reading dropped 1.6 percent. He argued the slip stemmed from a state investigation into possible adult cheating on student tests and tighter security measures on state protocols. Tomalis made no mention of nearly $1 billion cut out of the state education budget his first year in office. The investigation began after an older state study surfaced last year that had found statistical reasons primarily high erasure marks changing wrong answers to correct ones -- to suspect cheating in several school districts. An
investigation was launched in 48 districts, including Hazleton Area. Tomalis announced the investigation determined student answer sheets had been altered as far back as 2008-09, inflating test results, though the state has released no details. The investigations in 30 districts have been closed; the Hazleton Area investigation continues. Reinert dismissed the notion that the investigation or new test protocols caused any drop in Dallas. He noted the district has never been investigated or accused of cheating, and said the new test procedures were not significantly different. While the district works toward the goal of all students being proficient in all subjects, some students simply require more attention than others. I can teach anyone to read if you give me enough time, Reinert said. The state not only requires a minimum percentage of students to score proficient or better in math and reading tests, those goals rose this year and will rise again each of the next two years. The state asks us to do more with less, Reinert said, when its hard enough to do the same with less. Tommy Grimes, chief executive officer of Calex Logistics in Yatesville, said business has been good as more and more merchandise is transported by truck rather than train or air. Calex, which has a warehouse in Plains Township, has added about a dozen jobs the past year and is hoping to add another 10. Finding CDL operators is very hard in this area, Grimes noted. The natural gas industry is taking a lot of drivers out of the freight industry. The high unemployment rate masks some good news, said Steven Zellers, an analyst with the Pennsylvania Depart-

McLaughlin confirmed the truck belonged to Pahler but declined to detail what disciplinary action was taken, citing personnel policy. He said he did not know why the truck was on the lift, for repair or to be inspected. I have no knowledge of what was done. I only know personal vehicles are not to be inspected, looked at or worked on in any way usingcityresources,McLaughlin said. Reached at home Monday evening, Pahler said he did not recall being disciplined in relation to the truck last year. As for the reason the truck was on a lift in the garage, Pahler said it could have been when it was damaged at the Murray complex or in the flood. I dont recall, honestly I dont. So much has happened in the past few years. Sorick said hes skeptical if any serious action was taken against Pahler. I imagine they pulled the ruler outofthedesk,crackedhimacross the knuckles and said Dont do it again, Sorick said. Its a second egregious offense and hes still employed as a DPW manager. In the 2010 incident, city officials confirmed Pahler had used a city backhoe, which was being used by crews working in his

neighborhood, to clear debris out the yard of his home, which was located on Spruce Street. He now lives on Gilligan Street. The latest controversy surrounding gasoline usage remains under investigation by the Luzerne County District Attorneys Office. In that case, detectives are trying to determine if Pahler, Leighton or other city employees improperly obtained fuel from the gas pumps at the DPW garage. The probe was prompted by a Times Leader investigation that bumps in the road. Our country seems to be at the mercy of events rather than shaping them, Romney wrote. Were not moving them in a direction that protects our people or our allies. Both candidates were spending the days leading up to the debate in battleground states, with Romney in Colorado and Obama in Nevada. Romneys intense focus on foreign policy is intended to undercut what the Obama campaign has seen as the presidents ironclad international affairs creden-
revealed the city could not account for 18,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel that had been dispensed between Dec. 1, 2011 and June 22 this year. Leighton has acknowledged neither he nor Pahler, who fueled their personal vehicles, signed log books detailing how much fuel they pumped or keep mileage records, leaving no way to verify if the fuel was used only for business purposes. Sorick said he realizes the city might be limited in action it can take because Pahler is part of the tials. To that end, Romneys advisers said hes planning a major foreign policy speech, to be delivered sometime after Wednesdays debate. Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki was dismissive of the argument. There is no op-ed or no speech which weve heard he may or may not give at some point that is going to change the view of the American people that he has been reckless, erratic and irresponsible on foreign policy issues every time he has had an opportunity to speak to
Teamsters union. The city must follow disciplinary procedures in the union contract. I know it has to go by the union guidelines, he said. He said he hopes Pahler at least received a suspension for the truck repair case. The public will never know, however, because personnel matters are exempt from the Open Records Law. They could say he was reprimanded even if wasnt; theres no way to verify that. Their word is a little tarnished, to say least, Sorick said. them, Psaki told reporters in Henderson, Nev., where Obama is preparing for the debate. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Romneys op-ed contains no specifics or an alternative, adding that most of the positions Romney was advocating are no different from what the president is actually doing. One possible exception is Iran, Carney said, where Romney appears to oppose U.S. policy of economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation. The alternative is war, Carney said.

While the rate matches a year ago, 6,000 more residents of Lackawanna, Luzerne and Wyoming counties are working, while the ranks of the unemployed grew by 700 people. But because 6,700 more people were looking for jobs this August compared to last year, the unemployment rate was static, Zellers said. Your region has 6,000 more people working this August than last, Zellers said. He said the larger employee pool is contributing to the unemployment rate remaining high.

Goaltender Jeff Zatkoff didnt have many lows during last seasons all-star campaign, but the few that he did experience occurred in Wilkes-Barre. Two, in fact. Both times that the Manchester Monarchs faced the WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins at the Mohegun Sun Arena last season, Zatkoff was pulled early. The first time was on Jan. 20 after he allowed three goals on seven shots. On Feb. 23, Zatkoff allowed six goals through two periods before exiting early. So what did Zatkoff do to overcome the problems that the Penguins gave him at home? He joined them. "I think I got pulled three times last year, and twice was here," Zatkoff said. "I figured Id better sign here so I dont get yanked anymore." Kidding aside, Zatkoff joins the Penguins after posting his third stellar campaign with Manchester, one that earned him an invite to last seasons all-star game. During his first three seasons in the AHL - all with Manchester, the former third round pick of the Los Angeles Kings hasnt been very consistent. Thats because hes gotten better every year. Last season Zatkoff set career highs with 21 wins, a 2.49 goals against average and a .920 save percentage. In all three seasons with Manchester, Zatkoffs goals against average never went above 2.92 and his save percentage never fell lower than .911. Despite the upward trend in his development, the 25-year-old never got an NHL look from a Kings team anchored in net by Jonathan Quick and Jonathan Bernier. "Unfortunately I didnt get that opportunity to show what I can do up there, and I just thought it was best to move on to a new organization," Zatkoff said. "Im excited for a fresh start." Still, Zatkoff is coming to a Pittsburgh organization that is flaunting some goaltending depth of its own. The parent Penguins are set with Marc-Andre Fleury and Tomas Vokoun, while the AHL Pens have proven netminder Brad Thiessen. Zatkoff said he isnt afraid of a little healthy competition in goal.

ARLINGTON, Texas Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman returned interceptions for touchdowns and the Chicago Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys 34-18 on Monday night. Tony Romo threw five interceptions, matching the most in his career. Major Wright had two of the picks, and the one by Briggs came on a wild two-play exchange of turnovers midway through the BEARS third quarter. Chicagos first fumble of the season BEARS came when Jay Cutler was sacked by DeMarcus Ware and Victor Butler to set up Dallas (2-2) at the Bears 27. On the very next play, Romo was trying to escape pressure when he was hit from behind by Henry Melton. The ball popped forward into the air and Briggs grabbed it and rumbled for his first interception return for a score since 2005 to put the Bears (3-1) ahead 24-7. The Bears had an NFL-high 14 sacks through the first three weeks of the season, and upped that total on the first series when Melton sacked Romo on third-and-7 from the Bears 40.

green. Its really that simple. That was one of the best feelings of my life to make that putt, Rose said. Martin Kaymer looked calm as ever when he holed a 6-foot par putt on the 18th that assured Europe of keeping that shiny gold

Europes Ian Poulter hugs the trophy after winning the Ryder Cup Sunday at the Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Ill.

WASHINGTON Thanks to strong pitching from Gio Gonzalez and Stephen Strasburg, Bryce Harpers burst of energy and Adam LaRoches slugging, the Washington Nationals won enough from April through September that even a loss on the first day of October could not stop them from clinching the NL East. Despite being beaten 2-0 by the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night, the Nationals earned their first division title since moving from Montreal in 2005, because the second-place Atlanta Braves lost 2-1 at the Pittsburgh Pirates. Washington, in first since May 22, leads Atlanta by three games with two to play in the regular season. The Braves loss finished as the top of the ninth inning ended in Washington, and the Nationals celebrated in their dugout with hugs, high-fives and spiked gloves.
Pirates 2, Braves 1
MIAMI Giancarlo Stanton hit his 37th homer, and Rob Brantly hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the eighth inning to help the Miami Marlins beat the New York Mets. Heath Bell (4-5) pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Steve Cishek pitched the ninth for his 15th save in 19 chances. Cishek issued a two-out walk to Fred Lewis before Ike Davis grounded out to end the game, giving the Marlins their second win in 11 games.
Cardinals 4, Reds 2
ST. LOUIS Jaime Garcia homered off Bronson Arroyo and pitched into the seventh inning, helping the St. Louis Cardinals clinch a tie for the second NL wild card and spoil Dusty Bakers return from a mini-stroke with a victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Alex Cobb allowed two hits over seven innings Monday night, helping the Tampa Bay Rays keep their slim playoff hopes alive with a 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Ben Zobrist hit his 20th homer and Chris Giminez had a two-run double off Wei-Yin Chen as the Rays pulled away from a 1-1 tie. Cobb (11-9) yielded a fourth-inning single to J.J. Hardy and an opposite-field solo homer to Matt Wieters that had tied it in the top of the seventh. The Rays won for the 11th time in 12 games, a stretch thats kept them in contention for the ALs second wild-card. They began the night trailing Oakland by three games and must sweep the Orioles and hope the As drop three straight to Texas to remain alive. Baltimore already is assured of being in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, but still has its sights on outlasting the Yankees for the AL East title. The Orioles fell a game out of first place behind New York.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Miguel Cabrera had four hits, including a homer during a five-run sixth inning, and the Detroit Tigers held off the Kansas City Royals to clinch the AL Central title. Gerald Laird added a basesloaded double, Rick Porcello (10-12) pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning and Jhonny Peralta went deep off Bruce Chen (11-14) to help Detroit reach the postseason in consecutive years for the first time since 1934-35.
MIAMI - For seven calendar months, R.A. Dickey has cobbled together a Cy Young candidacy using a knuckleball as his hammer. It has been a potent tool, a pitch that has carried him to 20 wins and 222 strikeouts. Fair or not, could the same pitch that has made so many major league hitters vulnerable this season leave Dickey vulnerable when it comes time to cast ballots? Maybe. But Jason Bay thinks his teammates knuckleball will have the opposite effect. Bucking conventional wisdom - that the knuckleball could be a black mark against Dickey - Bay said it should be the difference maker, the thin piece of fabric that distinguishes Dickey from Gio Gonzalez, Craig Kimbrel and other Cy Young contenders. "That could be enough to (give) him a slight edge," Bay said before Monday nights game against Miami at Marlins Park. Bays rationale? A collection of other pitchers have tried using the pitch, yet few knuckleballers have ridden it to the single-season success Dickey has had this year. "If it was easy to use the gimmick pitch," Bay said, "it would have been done a long time ago. Its not that easy. . Hes done an unbelievable job this year of being as close to perfect with it as you can be. Because of that, the novelty of it, I think thats the standout." Dickey (20-6) will make his 33rd and final start of the season Tuesday night against the Marlins. He gets one more chance to trim his svelte 2.69 ERA, one more opportunity to pad his league-leading 2272/3 innings pitched. Dickey said he would love to have "one more consistent outing," but doesnt think he needs the Cy Young Award to stamp his season in eternity. "It would obviously be nice," Dickey said. "At the same time, youve got to be able to lay your head on your pillow, and whether youve won it or not, know that youve done your best. And I can do that. A 20-win season is also very difficult to get. Thankfully, weve been able to do that." On the flip side, he thinks winning the award would go a long way toward legitimizing the knuckleball, putting a dagger to the characterization of it as a gimmick pitch. "I think it requires something more than just a 20game winner," Dickey said. "Unfortunately, I wish that wasnt the case." His numbers have put him in position to make history: a shot to become just the third Mets pitcher to stake claim to the award. "Certainly, its the culmination of what every pitcher dreams about," manager Terry Collins said, "and thats to be at some time the best in the game. And you cant ever take that away. No matter what happens from here on out, he can always say, In 2012, I was the best pitcher in the National League. " First, he has one more spin around the ballpark, one more dance with the girl who shouldered him back from baseballs abyss. One more start with his knuckleball, a pitch Bay suspects will separate Dickey from his peers.

1908 Addie Joss of the Cleveland Indians pitched a perfect game, defeating the Chicago White Sox, 1-0. 1916 Grover Alexander pitched a 2-0 three-hitter against the Boston Braves for his 16th shutout and 33rd victory of the season. 1920 The only tripleheader in this century was played, with the Cincinnati Reds defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first two games. The Pirates won the nightcap, which was called after six innings because of darkness. 1938 Bob Feller struck out 18 Detroit Tigers to set a single-game record that stood until Steve Carlton broke it in 1969. 1968 Bob Gibson set a World Series record by striking out 17 Detroit Tigers in Game 1. 1978 In a one-game playoff for the AL East title, Bucky Dent hit a three-run homer off Mike Torrez to lead the New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. 1986 Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets became the first pitcher in baseball to strike out 200 batters in each of his first three seasons as he fanned seven en route to an 8-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. 1991 The Toronto Blue Jays clinched the American League East title and became the first team in sports history to draw 4 million fans in one season. 1995 The Seattle Mariners, behind Randy Johnsons three-hitter, beat California 9-1 in a one-game playoff for the AL West title. 2001 Albert Pujols of St. Louis went 3-for-4 to set an NL rookie record with 353 total bases in a 5-1 victory over Milwaukee. 2001 Sammy Sosa became the first player in major league history with three 60-homer seasons, but the Reds held on for a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Sosa hit a solo shot in the first inning.

Cano homered leading off the second against Clay Buchholz, a drive off the blue facing below the glass-enclosed bar behind Monument Park in center, and hit a two-run double later in the inning. He added another double in the fourth. Granderson hit a two-run, second-deck homer to right and Martin followed with a solo shot off the top of the wall above the scoreboard in rightcenter, a drive upheld after a video review. Teixeira, back in the lineup for the first time since Sept. 8 following his recovery from a strained left calf, greeted Alfredo Aceves with a two-run drive into the second deck in right. Nick Swisher nearly followed with another homer, hitting a foul drive deep down the right-field line before doubling. Even slumping Alex Rodriguez got in on the offense, hitting a sacrifice fly to end a streak of 11 games without an RBI. He tied Stan Musial for fifth place on the career list at 1,950. Boston, starting what may be its final series under firstyear manager Bobby Valentine, has lost six in a row and 10 of 11, reaching 91 defeats for the first time since dropping 100 games in 1965. In what resembled a spring training lineup, the Red Sox started just two regular position players, Cody Ross and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Six of the starters had uniform Nos. 50 or higher. Dustin Pedroia was out of the starting lineup because of an injured finger, and Jacoby Ellsbury sat against the lefthander after returning from an injury last weekend. Buchholz (11-8) was roughed up for eight runs and six hits three of them homers in 1 2-3 innings. The eight earned runs were a career high. Daniel Nava homered for the Red Sox leading off the fourth. NOTES: Girardi scratched Ivan Nova from his scheduled start Tuesday following a pair of poor outings and replaced him with rookie David Phelps. Hiroki Kuroda starts Wednesday and Andy Pettitte is lined up to start Thursday if a tiebreaker game is needed to decide the AL East. Phil Hughes would pitch on normal rest if there is a game Friday and the Yankees decide not to bring back Sabathia then. ... New York has outhomered Boston 38-14 in matchups this season. ... The Yankees also homered four times in an inning on June 30, 1977, at Toronto (Cliff Johnson twice, Thurman Munson and Lou Piniella), and on June 21, 2005, against Tampa Bay (Gary Sheffield, Rodriguez, Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada). ... The inning was the highestscoring one for the Yankees since they got 12 runs against Baltimore on July 30 last year in the opening inning of the second game of a doubleheader. ... Yankees LF Ichiro Suzuki made a leaping catch on Danny Valencias drive in front of the wall in the corner to end the seventh. ... New Yorks Melky Mesa had an RBI single in the eighth in his first big league at-bat. ... Freddy Garcia pitched a perfect ninth. ... Former Yankees manager Joe Torre and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani were at the game.

By the time the game Sunday was in its closing minutes, the remaining few wearing green and white made their feelings known with each chant, loud and clear: Tee-boww! Tee-boww! Well, this mess the New York Jets are in might be too big for even Tim Tebow to fix. Mark Sanchez and the offense had another lousy performance in a 34-0 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Bad passes, bad routes, bad football. But this was supposed to be exactly how Tebow was going to help, by bringing a spark to the team by confusing defenses and making big plays. So far, the Tebow wildcat experiment has been a dud. He has played in just 31 of the Jets 257 offensive snaps, and Tebow has done little to strike fear in opposing defenses when he has been out there. We havent been as successful at running the wildcat as I thought we would, Rex Ryan said. I think thats fair to say, but again, without question, Im not ready to give up on him. I think the wildcat is tough to defend and Ive always said that. Still, while they are standing by Sanchez right now, perhaps their biggest potential playmaker Tebow is mostly just standing by. Ryan, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and owner Woody Johnson insisted all summer that Tebow wasnt a publicity stunt to sell tickets and jerseys. He was
The Mountaineers held off the Spartans led by A.J. Nardones second hat trick in as many matches. Nate Wood also found the back of the net for Dallas, while Danny Saba had a pair of assists. Matt Labashosky, Nick Singer and Brian Novitsky scored for the Spartans.

going to be a key part of a rejuvenated, dynamic and unpredictable offense under Tony Sparano. Everyone is still waiting to see all that. Tebow was in on seven offensive plays three at quarterback and four as a fullback and accounted for a measly 9 yards Sunday. That came on the first and only pass he has thrown with New York, a jump toss to Dedrick Epps, who injured his right knee on the play and fumbled. Im just ready and willing to do whatever they want me to do, Tebow said Sunday, not once saying anything that could be construed as frustration or be twisted to feed into an increasingly hotter quarterback situation. Ryan did his best to defuse any talk about a change at the position, declaring Sanchez the undisputed starter after the game and then again Monday. I just know in my heart, right now, that this is not the time, Ryan said when asked what it would take for him to switch quarterbacks. I think Tim is an outstanding player and I think Mark is. Right now, I think Mark gives us our best opportunity to win. But there have been several
moments in games this season that appeared to be perfect fits for Tebow to give the offense a boost. Instead, the NFLs most popular backup quarterback has remained on the sideline for many of those situations. If you guys had all the answers, then you would be offensive coordinators, linebacker Bart Scott said on a conference call. Football guys, players and coaches kind of know the pulse of the team and what needs to be done. Its early in the season. You cant try and change everything around in Week 5. On the surface, its hardly a time to panic for the Jets, who are 2-2 and sitting in first place in the AFC East with two wins in the division. In reality, this is a team in deep trouble with the Houston Texans, arguably the best team in the AFC, coming to town next Monday night. Then come games against Indianapolis, New England and Miami. The Jets are already without star cornerback Darrelle Revis, out with a knee injury, and are waiting to learn the status of receiver Santonio Holmes after he hurt his left foot Sunday.

Invitational in Rock Hill, S.C. His 8k time was 25:53.43. Prior to that, he competed in the Demon Deacons Quad Meet which had two runners taking turns running 2,500 meters. He and a teammate finished second. Reece is healthy and training very well, coach Mike Esposito said. He didnt run last weekend due to a virus but is ready to take a big step forward. The coach likes Ayers passionate approach to the sport of running. Reece is a great teammate and all the kids respect him, Esposito said. We expect him to be our fourth or fifth runner this fall. Freshman Ben Robinson, also from Tunkhannock, is a member of the squad and has impressed Esposito. Ben is doing very well for us in his first year, the coach said. He is presently running in our top 10 and is a great kid to have on the team. GLADEY BOUNCES BACK After missing last season with a knee injury, red-shirt sophomore Taylor Gladey is back in action with the William & Mary field hockey team. Gladey (Crestwood) has played in 10 games off the bench for the Tribe, who are 9-3 overall and 21 in the Colonial Athletic Association. She has a goal and an assist. Taylor has improved with each game, coach Peel Hawthorne said. Her quickness, speed and tenacity on our defensive press have been especially effective. As she has grown more confident with her knee (following surgery) she has been more aggressive and more willing to take risks. Gladey played in 18 games with five starts two years ago as a freshman. Taylors shots and general ball handling skills have improved tremendously over her freshman season, Hawthorne said. She is one of the first subs off the bench and I can always count on her to spark the team. She gives us the defensive pressure and fast break speed that we need to win. WEBB HELPING BULLDOGS Junior Scott Webb
(Dallas) is playing midfield for the DeSales mens soccer team which is 7-2-2 overall and 1-0-0 in the Freedom Conference after a league-opening 2-1 triumph over Eastern last weekend. The Bulldogs are 3-0-1 in their last four games. Webb collected his first college goal in a 2-1 loss to Cabrini in early September. Scott is a great team player who has gained more confidence in his playing ability this season, coach George Crampton said. Webb has played in 10 games and started five this season after seeing action in 16 games his first two seasons with the team. BIG GOALS FOR HACKETT Junior Madeline Hackett of Shavertown (Wyoming Seminary) has scored three goals for the Boston University field hockey team. The 5-foot-8 midfielder had the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Providence and a goal in a 4-1 triumph over Kent State. Last Sunday, she had a goal as the Terriers were nipped by No. 5-ranked Connecticut 3-2. Madeline is a versatile midfielder with outstanding attacking skill, coach Sarah Starr said. Each year she has shown improvement and her experience and leadership as a junior makes here a very valuable player for us. The Terriers, ranked 12th in the country, are 7-4-0 overall and 1-0-0 in the America East Conference after a 2-1 victory over No. 23 Albany last Friday. Among the losses are 2-0 setbacks to No. 2 Syracuse and No. 7 Virginia. PRATTS A VETERAN Senior Erik Pratt is an anchor on the offensive line for the high-scoring West Chester football team. Pratt (Tunkhannock) is a 6-foot-5, 275-pound left tackle and hes helped the Golden Rams average 449.4 yards per game in total offense. In last Saturdays 37-34 victory over No. 6-ranked California, PA, West Chester picked up 500 yards (211 rushing and 289 passing). Eric has played a lot of football for us over the past three years but hes really come into his own this year, coach Bill Zwaan said. He is stronger and healthier this year and it really shows. The coach feels that Pratt is helped by the fact that hes

very athletic and also versatile, being able to play both tackle and guard. Eric has taken a leadership role for the offensive line this year, Zwaan said. He has become what we were hoping for when we recruited him. The Golden Rams are 4-1, having lost their opener 41-21 to Delaware, a team ranked eighth in the Football College Subdivision. West Chester travels to East Stroudsburg Saturday. DISABATINOS SOLID Twin sisters Jenna and Cassie DiSabatino, both former Crestwood High standouts, are key performers on the No. 3 Bloomsburg field hockey team which is 9-3 overall and 3-1 in the PSAC after losing 4-1 to No. 2 Shippensburg Friday and 4-2 to Mansfield Saturday. Jenna has 12 goals and three assists for 27 points to lead the Huskies. She has three gamewinners. Jenna is a dynamic player with some of the best stick work and field hockey talent in the conference, coach Nicole Rhoads said. She gets the job done on our attack, her stats showing what she has accomplished in just the start of our season. Her work ethic continues to improve every day which could tab her with some great individual achievements at the end of the season. Cassie is a key performer on both ends of the field. She has three goals and two assists and picked up a goal and an assist in a 6-2 victory over Stonehill. Cassie has been anchoring our outside midfield, playing both integral roles of our attack and defense, Rhoads said. She has a great ability to distribute the ball in our transition play and she brings a great effort on our defensive unit as well. And her leadership as grown tremendously from last season to this.

Sophomore Nikki Black (Northwest Area) is also a member of the team. Shes seen action in four games off the bench. SEMENZAS STARTING Freshman Nicole Semenza (Hazleton Area) has started all nine games for the 2-6-1 Mansfield womens soccer team which picked up a big 1-0 victory over Shepherd last Saturday. Nikki is doing a very good job as our starting outside right back, coach Tim Dempsey said. Her play has been steady. Shes physically very tough in one-on-one situations and also very composed with the ball under pressure. The coach feels that there are a couple of areas that Semenza needs to improve on. I would say that her fitness level and her communication with the other backs are two aspects of her game she needs to work on, Dempsey said. I believe that will come in the years ahead as she does our year-round training program and gets more comfortable with her teammates. She is very coachable and I looking forward to coaching her over the next three-plus years.

NHL labor talks are set to resume Tuesday morning, with discussions focusing on hockey-related revenue and not the core economic issues that continue to divide the two sides in a league-imposed lockout entering its third week. A person familiar with negotiations, on Monday, provided the details of what was expected to be discussed at the meeting that will be held in New York. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the NHL and the NHL Players Association have not issued an update on talks. The person added there are currently no other meetings planned beyond today. Negotiators for the league and players will pick up where they left off after Sunday, when they completed three straight days of discussions. The talks focused on secondary issues, such as what should define hockey-related revenue, as well as player health and safety. Though both sides have made progress in discussing secondary issues, theyve failed to make much of a dent into determining how to split up more than $3 billion in league revenues between owners and players. The NHL locked out the players after the collective bargaining agreement expired on Sept. 15, and has since canceled its entire preseason schedule.

LOCAL RUNNING
Heidi Peoples will try to make it 3-for-3 while Matt Byrne will also be after a third title when competitors in the17th annual Steamtown Marathon make their way from Forest City to downtown Scranton the morning of Oct. 7. The two local runners appear to be the favorites at this stage although there is always the chance of an elite runner being allowed a late entry into the race that has otherwise been sold out since May. Peoples, the former Heidi Wolfsberger who was a state champion runner at Riverside, has won womens titles both times that she has entered. She won in 2008 by finishing the 26.2mile course in 2:44:28 then set the womens record in 2010 by winning in 2:39:48. Steamtown will be the first marathon for the 32-year-old Peoples since the birth of her second child last November. The Riverside physical education teacher and West Scranton resident said she hopes to be ready to run a
time somewhere between her two previous finishes at Steamtown. Ill be disappointed if Im not close to where I was in the past, said Peoples, who turned in some of her most impressive running efforts soon after her first child was born. Im hoping for better than 2008. Im not so sure about that course record, but if I have a great day, I think I could do it. She will only know that as the race develops. Peoples said her concentration will be on trying to be the first woman to finish. Im more going for the win, she said. Ill try to run a smart race. Preparing for the race with two young children at home has meant 4 a.m. starts when Peoples goes for her longer runs. She has been racing at shorter distances this summer. Steamtown seemed the logical place to make her marathon comeback. I love the support that you get right here at home, Peoples said. Its ideal to be able to sleep in your own bed and to feel the night in Brookline for sticking with the same partnerships in building a 10-6 lead. He was vilified for sitting out three players until Sunday, all of whom lost. Even this year, Jose Maria Olazabal was taking his share of criticism for not playing Ian Poulter in fourballs on Friday, and for sending out Lee Westwood on Saturday morning after he didnt show much game on the opening day. Mickelson and Bradley won three matches by playing 15, 17 and 12 holes in a dominant display. Why not send them out? For one thing, Mickelson didnt feel like he would have been effective. Theres a history of teams going four matches and running out of steam, such as Sergio Garcia and Jesper Parnevik at Brookline. They went 3-0, fought for a halve in the fourth session, and neither made it past 15 holes on Sunday before losing. Love was grilled Sunday evening about sitting them out until Mickelson stepped in. Hold on, Davis, he said. As far as playing Keegan and I, you need to hear something. Keegan and I knew going in that we were not playing in the afternoon, and we said on the first tee, We are going to put everything we have into this one match, because we are not playing the afternoon. And when we got to 10, I went to Davis and I said, Listen, youre seeing our best. You cannot put us in the afternoon, because we emotionally and mentally are not prepared for it. And I know youre going to get pressure, because were playing so good. So you cannot put that on him. If anything, it was me. They both lost their singles matches, Mickelson to a clutch performance by Rose, Bradley to Rory McIlroy, the best player in the world. The one area golf is as fickle in the Ryder Cup as any other tournament is the inability to predict whos going to play well. Dustin Johnson and Brandt Snedeker were the hottest players in September. Johnson went 3-0 in the Ryder Cup, Snedeker was 1-2. Zach Johnson had not been in the top 10 since July, and the only reason he didnt win every match was because Poulter ran off five straight birdies late Saturday afternoon. If there was room to secondguess anything, it was the ending. coach John Hynes admitted that there will be a training camp goaltender competition between Thiessen and Zatkoff, and both players will get an equal opportunity to show their stuff in the preseason games. Whichever netminder plays the best will start the season, Hynes said. "We know both guys can play at this level and theyre motivated," he said. "Well just let them compete and the best guy will play." And there wont be any hard
crowd support. Byrne is likely to feel that same support. The Scranton resident, 37, has won Steamtown twice and was second last year behind Peter Kemboi, a Kenyan runner who was training in Kentucky at the time. Samantha Snead, a 24-year-old from Moscow, joins Lori Kingsley and Ali Piacente as the likely top threats to Peoples. Snead, a former North Pocono and Penn State-Scranton cross country runner, made an impressive marathon debut as one of two women to break three hours during last years runner-up finish. Kingsley, from Wysox, won this years Boston Marathon 4549 age group in 2:51:22. Piacente, a steadily improving 27-year-old from Alexandria, Va., ran her career-best marathon to finish fifth among women at Steamtown in 3:06:19 last year and is expecting a significant drop from there. The top threats to Byrne are expected to be: Chris Heisey, 23, Philadelphia; Jason Kennedy, 31,
Honesdale; Louis-Philippe Garnier, 47, Montreal; Michael Daigeaun, 32, Philadelphia; Marcus Magyar, 26, West Pittston; and Christopher Gaube, 24, Vestal, N.Y. They are expected to be running out in front of a larger field. Steamtown continues its gradual expansion. A total of 3,000 entries were accepted this year, with all of them taken by May 19, meaning this should easily be the largest Steamtown Marathon ever. We could have easily booked 5,000, assistant race director Jim Cummings said. Following hundreds of cancellations something that is not uncommon for marathons about 2,000 runners started last years race, which was finished by a record total of 1,861. Cummings said growth will continue to be done slowly and evaluated each step of the way. He said there are some concerns about crowding too many runners in the Rails to Trails portion of the course and making passing difficult there. We certainly dont want to do
anything to degrade the quality of the event, he said. The neat thing about the race is that we dont advertise it at all and it sells out in 50 days. The race, as it currently exists, has been extremely popular with runners from outside the area as well as the strong local running contingent, which enjoys having a major event close to home. The support the runners receive out on the course from all
the volunteers and the communities the things we sort of take for granted here about the way you should treat people when they are in your community thats not how the runners are treated elsewhere, Cummings said. They just cant believe the enthusiasm, the support and the reception they get from people up and down the course. Its a nice testament to the people in this area.

trophy. Francesco Molinari won a half-point on a short par putt that Tiger Woods conceded for Europe to claim an outright win, 1412-1312. This was not a Ryder Cup to contemplate failures. This was a Ryder Cup to celebrate success. And no match no birdie putt was more significant than what Rose did on the 17th green. He was down one hole when his putt with plenty of pace disappeared into the cup to square the match. Rose made a 12-foot birdie on the 18th for a 1up win over Mickelson, but odds are that Lefty wins that match if Rose doesnt make the putt. But he did, just like Justin Leonard on the 17th hole at Brookline when the Americans rallied from a four-point deficit. In happier times Sunday, Love had said he thought Jason Dufner in the No. 9 slot was going to be the clincher for the Americans. If not for Rose winning his match, it could very well have come down to Dufners win over Peter Hanson. So maybe Love had it right, and he lost out to a great putt. We had a lot of guys today that played well and just got beat, Love said. They got beat by some holed putt, chip-ins, some incredible shots, and some matches got flipped at the end on long putts and great saves by the other team. I have to congratulate them on the way they played. They played great. Ultimately, this Ryder Cup turned out the way everyone expected. It featured the two strongest teams ever, all 24 players among the top 35 in the world ranking. Graeme McDowell was looking over the team rosters a few weeks out and said, Theres a good buzz. I think its set up to be an awesome Ryder Cup. I really do. And it was. The best Ryder Cup matches really, the best golf tournaments are those that are won and not lost. Kiawah Island, where Bernhard Langer missed a 6-foot par putt on the last hole, left too many people with a sick feeling. McDowell making a 15foot birdie putt at Wales was great stuff. European captain Mark James was a hero on Saturday

Lakers center Dwight Howard speaks to reporters during Lakers media day at the teams headquarters in El Segundo, Calif. on Monday.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. Dwight Howard flattened the creases across the chest of his brand-new gold jersey and joined his teammates for a group photo, joking around and laughing even while saying cheese. The superstar center might be an eight-year NBA veteran, but Monday still felt like the first day of school. And it was, in a way: Howard is just getting started on his real NBA education from the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant, who is just as eager to teach as Howard is to learn. I know hes going to be tough on me, but I expect that, and I want him to be that, Howard said. I want to be that guy. Ill take all the heat hes going to give me, because I know at the end of the day, its going to make me a better player and a better person. ... Im willing to go
through that process, learn from one of the greatest ever to play the game, and I think itll be great. Howard and Bryant wore their gold uniforms together for the first time Monday as the Lakers opened training camp with a revamped roster and sky-high expectations. After two straight seasons ending in the second round of the playoffs, a remarkable offseason shuffle by Los Angeles general manager Mitch Kupchak and owner Jim Buss has put the Lakers in prime position to contend for their 17th NBA championship. Even while Metta World Peace crowed about the Lakers depth and Pau Gasol expressed his gratitude for staying with the Lakers after popping up in innumerable trade rumors, everybodys eyes were on Bryant and Howard, the Lakers unquestioned leader and the supremely gifted big man he has already appointed as his heir. This is my team, but I want to make sure that Dwight, when I retire, this is going to be his, Bryant said. I want to teach him everything I possibly know, so that when I step
away, this organization can ride on as if I never left. Even while both men say the situation is ideal, the entire NBA is eager to see how this teacher-student partnership will work. The 34-year-old Bryant is a ferocious perfectionist with famously little patience for teammates who arent serious about winning including Andrew Bynum, the sometimes-immature All-Star center dispatched in the deal for Howard. The 26-year-old Howard raised league-wide doubts about his maturity during his strange, protracted departure from Orlando over the past two years and dont forget, Howard has just one season left on his contract. What could possibly go wrong? Nothing, according to Howard. Me and Kobe have talked many times about it, and I think itll be great, Howard said. Learning from Kobe, I think, is something that I need for myself, so I can grow as a player and as a person. Hes been through almost every situation possible, on the court and off the court.

The Penguins practice this morning at Coal Street is open to the public, while Wednesdays is closed. Also on Wednesday, the team will travel to Rochester to take on the Americans in their first exhibition game at 7:05 p.m. Rochester will then make the trip to Wilkes-Barre for a second matchup this Friday at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
"You only have two spots and when you get to this level everybody can play. When Im in net Im trying to help the team win, and the same goes for Brad," he said. "Im sure well have a healthy competition. Thats just something that comes with being in this league." Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head
feelings between the two. "Fortunately for me Ive always gotten along with the other goalie," Zatkoff said. "That helps a lot because you have someone who can relate to what youre go-
ing through." At the age of 25, Zatkoff feels he is still young enough to establish himself with an organization and climb the depth chart as he develops.
And developing is something Zatkoff has proven he can do, dating back to his days with Miami University where his numbers also improved over the course of three seasons. "The biggest thing for me is learning to read the game. The more games you play at a certain level, the game slows down for you," Zatkoff said. But while the game slows down, Zatkoff hopes his development - and climb up the depth chart, continues to speed up.
If youre going to come back to Pocono, Bernard said, you better bring back the Triple Crown, too. The IndyCar series was once a staple of Pocono Raceway for two decades before departing after Danny Sullivans victory on Aug. 20, 1989. From the first IndyCar race at Pocono in 1971, the event showcased such world-renowned drivers as A.J. Foyt, Rick Mears, Al and Bobby Unser, Danny Sullivan and Andretti who captured the 1986 run at Pocono. It was music to my ears when some of the rumors began to fly around that it might be coming back, Andretti said. I dont think wonderful really describes the feeling I have for this race to come back. Theres only one negative. Im too damn old to drive this thing. Andretti, who recorded the most laps of any driver while running 17 of IndyCars 19 races at Pocono and recorded five top-5 finishes and nine top 10s during the 1970s and 80s, joked hell take some credit for influencing IndyCars return to Pocono. In reality, Andretti said he was just in A cheering role, with pompoms, Lets go to Pocono. And here we are. That IndyCar and Pocono are together again, Igdalsky said, mainly by happenstance. Igdalsky remembers attending last years IZOD IndyCar Series opener in St. Petersburg, Fla., and social media began buzzing about the series being on the brink of returning to Pocono. Igdalsky said that swirl caught him by surprise, because he had no plans to have IndyCar running around his Pocono track again. But the idea intrigued him enough to talk about it during a meeting with Bernard, which was arranged, he said, through a media member. We just started to casually talk about it, Igdalsky said. Next thing you know, were all sitting here today. The deal leaves Pocono with a schedule of three racing weekends in nine weeks, with two NASCAR events sandwiching the IndyCar race at the track. The IndyCar race at Pocono will be televised on ABC and, according to Bernard, will be shortened to 400 laps instead of the usual 500 in the IZOD series in order to fit into the allotted time slot for July 7 telecast. Tickets for the Pocono IndyCar 400 went on sale at 10 a.m. Monday morning, priced at $25 for general admission and cut to halfprice for children and grandstand seating. NASCAR certainly has its stars, Igdalsky said, and when I was a kid, IndyCar that was it. The (IndyCAR) drivers wanted to be back here, the series wanted to come back, the fans wanted them back. Were honored to help them out and give the fans what they want.

Credit card giant American Express Co. has agreed to refund $85 million to 250,000 customers and pay $27.5 million in civil penalties after federal and state regulators determined numerous violations of consumer protection laws. Among the alleged infractions were misleading some people who signed up for the companys Blue Sky credit card program into believing they would get a $300 payment they never received, charging improper late payments, and deceiving customers about the benefits of paying off old debts, the regulators said. The company did not admit or deny the violations as part of the consent orders with the consumer bureau and other agencies.
Half of all adult Americans now own either a tablet computer or a smartphone, and one-third use their mobile devices to view news stories and video clips at least once a week, according to a survey by the Pew Research Centers Project for Excellence in Journalism. About 20 percent of the mobile news users surveyed said they paid for an online subscription in the last year. Nearly one-third of the mobile users also have print-only subscriptions, and most have no plans to give them up.

U.S. agricultural economists say that a global shortage of bacon because of this years drought will not pan out. Their consensus is consumers still will be able to bring home the bacon, but it will cost them more.
Gamblers can now use their rewards points at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. In August, Mohegan Gaming Advisors, a subsidiary of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority that operates Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, said that pending regulatory approval it would take over management of Resorts.
Aqua Pennsylvania has acquired the wastewater system assets of Kidder Township, which serves approximately 3,000 people, for $11.3 million. Aqua has operated the former municipalowned system since 2006. The acquisition is the latest for the company, which has completed more than 200 acquisitions and growth ventures over the last decade. Parent company Aqua America Inc. is one of the largest U.S.-based publicly traded water utilities serving almost 3 million residents in Pennsylvania and nine other states.
ST. LOUIS Bacon lovers can relax. Theyll find all they want on supermarket shelves in the coming months, though their pocketbooks may take a hit. The economics of the current drought are likely to nose up prices for bacon and other pork products next year, by as much as 10 percent. But U.S. agricultural economists are dismissing reports of a global bacon shortage that lent sizzle to headlines and Twitter feeds last week. Simply put, the talk of scarcity is hogwash. Use of the word shortage caused vi-
sions of (1970s-style) gasoline lines in a lot of peoples heads, and thats not the case, said Steve Meyer, president of Iowa-based Paragon Economics and a consultant to the National Pork Producers Council and National Pork Board. Fears about a scarcity of bacon swept across social and mainstream media in recent weeks after Britains National Pig Association said a bacon shortage was unavoidable, citing a sharp decline in the continents pig herd and drought-inflated feed costs. The report caused much consternation over a product that used to be merely a breakfast staple, but nowadays flavors everything from brownies to vodka.
The alarm was quickly dismissed by the American Farm Bureau Federation as baloney. On Monday, a spokesman for the British pork trade group maintained its position that there will be a significant tightening in the global pigmeat supply in the second half of next year, because the vast majority of pig producers around the world are losing money on every pig they sell. The stubborn drought in the U.S., the worlds biggest supplier of feed grains, undeniably will affect pig production. The government now expects U.S. production of the grain to amount to 10.8 billion bushels, the least since 2006.
WASHINGTON U.S. manufacturing grew for the first time in four months, buoyed by a jump in new orders and more jobs. The increase is a hopeful sign that the economy may be improving after a weak stretch. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said Monday that its index of factory activity rose to 51.5. Thats up from 49.6 in August. A reading above 50 signals growth and below indicates contraction. The index had been below that threshold from June through August. Most economists were encouraged by the report after weak consumer spending and fewer exports slowed factory production in the spring. Still, they cautioned that economic growth is likely to stay modest until hiring accelerates and consumers spend more. The reading will boost hopes that some of the recent slowdown in economic growth was just a summer phenomenon, Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics, said in a note to clients. Separately, the government said U.S. builders spent more on home construction in August, adding to evidence that housing is recovering. Overall construction spending dipped 0.7 percent, the Commerce Department said, as spending on commercial projects such as office buildings and shopping centers fell.

but the latest generation, Internet. The difference is easy to sum up: Now it doesnt stop, not even at home. In most cases, if a child was bullied at school, it stopped when they came home. They had downtime, and could disengage from school-related stresses. By and large, that doesnt happen now. Bullies can target them online its known as cyber-bullying, and its increasingly common. Theres a difference in reach, too; in the past, the audience was generally limited to the size of the school. Thats not so anymore. Now if some-

one starts a rumor, friends, friends of friends, people in different states and even different countries will know about it almost instantly. On top of that, the half-life of gossip online is substantially longer. A YouTube video of someone being bullied may never go away. Or they make a website and now even Google will pay attention to the rumor. Instead of everyone hearing about something as in everyone at the school, its now everyone, as in, everyone within reach of a much larger social network. It would be as though the bully had their own TV station only with a larger audience and a more enduring message. So what can parents do? Preventing them from accessing the Internet at all is a bad idea, in many ways akin to
not letting them go outside. Not allowing them to have social media accounts thats still questionable. If theyve made friends or are finding support there, it might wind up actually doing more harm than good. As always, continued engagement with children is key. Understanding that they arent fully safe from bullying, even at home, and the dimensions of their world have changed are important. Contrary to what many may believe, in a lot of ways growing up today is far harder than it was in years past not physically, perhaps, but certainly mentally.

Last year in October we had only four days above 70. This week I expect three days to be above 70 starting tomorrow. As the warmer air gets closer, skies today will remain cloudy and showers will dot the radar screen. Afternoon temperatures will level-off in the 60's. With only a small drop in temperatures, fog will form and there may be another shower. Very warm and humid air will be in town tomorrow and then drier air here on Thursday will bring back some sunshine to raise temperatures above 70. Another good chance for rain will come on Saturday. So far this year, rainfall is 1.87" below normal. - Tom Clark

KRON, Ohio Cherry Dudley is a human guinea pig. She does it for the betterment of humanity, socialization, a few bucks and a periodic chuckle. For several years Dudley, 61, has been playing the role of a standardized patient in various And, no, its not akin to the episode of Seinfeld in which Kramer had a pretend brush with gonorrhea. There was one incident that made the Akron, Ohio, woman want to laugh but we are getting ahead of ourselves. medical situations for future doctors to practice their diagnostic skills.
You dont have to be an actor to do what Dudley, who used to work as a business analyst for Alltel, does at the Northeast Ohio Medical University, or NEOMED, in Rootstown Township, Ohio, but a number of thespians do. Holly Gerzina, executive director of the William G. Wasson, M.D., Center for Clinical Skills Training at NEOMED, said its time that patients were part of the health-care team, and this is part of that effort. The standardized patient is given a script in advance about simulating a particular medical scenario. The character might be asked to portray someone who has cancer, is a victim of do-
a bunch of passengers transcontinental for the first time. They simulated. Why? Because its a high-risk profession, Gerzina said. Medicine and health professions are finally saying the same thing we need to have people practice before they go out and deliver care. Even further justification for standardized patient programs is that the Michele Rosenberger applies makeway insurance companies operate toup to create bruises that medical day, students have less access to real students will use to practice diagpatients. Hospital stays are generally nosing patients. very limited, and a patient may simply be too sick to see medical students.

Early menopause may mean a higher risk of heart disease and stroke, according to a new study from Johns Hopkins Medicine. The researchers say the risk can be twice as high, and doctors should help women avoid early menopause if possible. If physicians know a patient has entered menopause before her 46th birth- See MENOPAUSE, Page 3C
day, they can be extra vigilant in making recommendations and providing treatments to help prevent heart attacks and stroke, Dhananjay Vaidya, an assistant professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine in Hopkins School of Medicine and leader of the study, said in a statement. The findings were un-
Q: I am an HIV positive man diagnosed in 1999 who has done great with anti-viral medication to the point that my HIV viral load is now undetectable. I read, with great interest, a news story about a man who was cured of all HIV from his body. Are we close to being able to say that doctors can cure HIV infection?

In 2006, Mr. Brown underwent a bone marrow transplant in which he received bone marrow from a donor with the CCR5 receptor mutation (present in just 1 percent of the northern European population). The result was that not only is Mr. Brown cancerfree but he is HIV free. This is different from your situation, where the virus is undetectable in your bloodstream but presumably still present in various tissues throughout your body. Mr. Brown received biopsies of brain tissue, intestines, liver, lymph nodes and bone marrow that all confirmed complete eradication of the HIV virus. Two HIV-positive Bostonians who recently underwent bone marrow transplantation for leukemia are also showing no traces of virus in their new immune systems. Unlike Mr. Brown, their bone marrow transplants did not have the CCR5 mutation, so they are still taking HIV medication as a precaution against possible dormant virus in their tissues. Since bone marrow transplantation solely to attempt HIV cure is too risky and too expensive, researchers are studying other ways to introduce the CCR5 gene mutation into the body to eradicate HIV.

designed to be safe for both the patient and the learners, which may also include pharmacy and nurse practitioner students. As far as training, the standardized patient really gives you a chance to learn how to take a (medical) history and learn how to talk to a patient in a controlled environment, said Emily Bennett, 23, a fourth-year medical student at NEOMED. And youre not worried that you are going to kill someone because you dont have the right diagnosis. These are standardized patients and dont actually have the diseases they are talking about. While the pretend patient has a script that includes a name, age and medical issue, the student has only basic information, Dudley said. They will ask you questions, but you dont want to lead them, she said, adding that when it comes to something like back issues, the patient may suggest that she has pain when walking or standing. Its then up to the student to make the diagnosis. Each appointment takes place in an examining room and lasts 18 minutes. During the session, a faculty member or preceptor is listening and watching behind a two-way mirror. When the appointment is complete, the student receives feedback from the actor and staff. An upside of working as a standardized patient is that the patient is better equipped to judge a doctors performance during real-life appointments. Some make the grade others do not. What we do as standardized patients is assess the students Editors note: The complete health calendar can be viewed at www.timesleader.com by clicking the Health link under the Features tab.

bedside manner, Dudley said. I want them to be good doctors because Ive had bad ones in the past. And Ive also had the most wonderful doctors in the world. For instance, I had a surgeon who was so good that if he said, Im going to rip off your arm, beat you over the head with it, and stick it down your throat, I would have been fine with it, she joked. I trusted him that much. His bedside manner was just that good. Standardized patients can opt out of playing certain roles. Perhaps an actor would be comfortable portraying someone who is
looking for a new doctor, but doesnt want to submit to a breast exam. Dudley has done some volunteering for the Battered Womens Shelter of Summit and Medina Counties and knows how important it is to help students learn about domestic abuse. Before playing an abuse victim, she had makeup applied to create bruises. Dudley said it was her most memorable assignment. In the scenario, the doctor was supposed to try to draw it out of me, she said. The student was so good and empathetic that I cried.

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE Nov. 6. It may be the most important thing you will do all year.
Dear Abby: I have been dating a divorced woman for four years. She said in the beginning that she had very little sexual experience because her former husband had problems, but decided after the divorce to find out what she was missing. She hasnt discussed this in detail, but once in a while she lets out little snippets of information that lead me to believe she was active. Do I have a right, now that were engaged, to know how many partners
she had since the divorce? Shes being evasive about it. Wondering Widower Dear Wondering: No, you do not have that right, because if she answers the question, your next questions will be what are their names, how many times did she sleep with them and were they better than you are in bed. Sometimes it is wiser to leave the past in the past and simply appreciate the special relationship you have with the person you love. Dear Abby: Webbed in Columbia, Md. wondered what kind of spider went up the waterspout (July 8). Well, it depends on the location of that spout. Waterspouts in England,
Australia (and Im guessing Canada) attract spiders that are incy wincy. American waterspouts are climbed by itsy bitsy spiders. (And at this time of year we see really big ones.) Between English-speaking countries there are also slightly different lyrics for The Wheels on the Bus and Ring Around the Rosie. Because my hubby and I are from opposite sides of the Atlantic pond, our son is learning multiple versions of many things. Sunkissed in Houston Dear Sunkissed: Readers young and old responded to that letter, and you are correct that it depends upon which side of the pond you hail from. In the United States, its also teensy weensy and itty bitty. In Switzer-
land, its inky dinky. And then there was the following submission: Dear Abby: The confusion may stem from Webbeds family members having confused the Itsy Bitsy Spider poem (song) with the Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini song. The spider song I learned in school and the bikini song I heard when my dad belted it out. It made us all laugh. Thanks for the memories. Karen in Reno, Nev.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
CRYPTOQUOTE
HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will find that things move at such a fast pace that its easy to overlook the most elemental matter for instance, what exactly is expected of you. Find out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The moon in your sign gives evidence that your natural powers of charisma are working. Everyone wants to like you and will do so unless you give them a reason not to. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As lucky Jupiter smiles on you, your inner drive is heightened. You appreciate all of the opportunities presented. A screening process will help you take advantage of the very best ones. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have little interest in what people tell you they can do. You are only interested in what they actually do. Its a wise way for you to focus now, and youll attract those who are the real deal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Many will want to interact with you, but their reasons may seem vague. Youll get the most from todays correspondence when you keep it short and leave them wanting more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Without a fear to face, the journey cant be called an adventure. So what you must ask yourself now is: Would you rather amble along, or adventure on? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll be taking on the kind of work thats difficult to judge. Really, it doesnt matter how good or bad you think it is. What matters most now is that you do it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll be like a child filled with admiration and envy watching an older sibling do the impossible. Dont stay on the sidelines. Dive in. It turns out this is not so impossible, after all. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have extra energy to give to others, so stay alert to those around you who may need help. The best part is that no matter what help you give, youll be the ultimate benefactor. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As Venus favorably angles your guiding planet, you radiate a warmth thats difficult for others to resist. Theyll want to do well for you. Youll get what you expect, so expect the best. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). For reasons too complex to logically predict, a journey will be longer on the return trip. Because youre prepared for this, youll have a better attitude than if youd been caught off guard. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your challenge will be to remain patient with the difficult people. You may not fully understand their function in your life at this time, but assume theres an excellent reason for why youre being tested in this way. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Oct. 2). Developments at home enliven your financial scene, and this month brings a windfall. Keeping your work tidy and your life clean leads to a major promotion. True feelings are revealed in December. Love affects your decisions strongly in January. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 13, 20, 47 and 1.
