EXETER A one-year wage

freeze proposed by the Wyoming

Area School District is a primary
sticking point in contract nega-
tions with its teachers union.
If the two sides cant come to
an agreement, the teachers will
strike on Sept. 3.
Both sides made their cases to
the public at the joint work ses-
sion/regular monthly meeting
Tuesday night at the Wyoming
Secondary Center.
The sides last met on Aug. 13.
Talks broke down when district
ofcials walked out of the session
because the union wouldnt agree
to a one-year wage freeze.
The district represented by
labor lawyer John Dean, district
Solicitor Jarrett Ferentino and
Business Manager Tom Melone
presented a 13-page summary
of the most recent proposals pre-
sented on Aug. 13.
The union said that wasnt a
fair gauge, because several of its
previous plans had more savings.
Youre misleading the pub-
lic by only showing the Aug. 13
proposals, Dolman said. It says
we have not made concessions in
health care and we have.
The district says health care
and salary are linked because
savings in one can be used in the
other.
A complete package was never
accepted, Dean said. What we
save in wages we can pay in health
care. What we save in health care,
we can pay in wages. We cant
pick and choose. Everything is

HARRISBURG UGI-Penn
Natural Gas has agreed to pay $1
million to settle a case regarding
an improperly repaired gas line in
Wilkes-Barre Township that could
have led to a disaster.
Although no serious conse-
quences resulted from this inci-
dent, the potential for serious
consequences to occur was sig-
nicant, according to the 47-page
report dated Aug. 16 and led
on the PUCs website Tuesday.
Therefore, (the Bureau of
Investigations and Enforcement)
submits that UGI-PNG s alleged
conduct is of a serious nature and
was considered in arriving at the
substantial civil penalty in this
settlement.
Though the ndings of fact
and signed agreement was led
with the state Public Utility
Commission, PUC spokeswoman
Jennifer R. Kocher said it is up
to the board to accept, reject or
modify the settlement at a future
meeting this fall.
Whistle blower
Kocher pointed out the inves-
tigation was launched thanks to
a UGI-Penn Natural Gas whistle
blower who reported that improp-
er clamps were used to repair a
leak on a high pressure gas distri-
bution line along Business Route
309 in the vicinity of the Sheetz
gas station last year. The report
found clamps meant to handle
gas mains with a maximum 100
pounds per square inch were used
on pipes with a ow of 320 pounds
per square inch.
The lengthy report details a
series of events related to the
section of 50-year old gas pipe
that included leaks, repairs and a
subsequent investigation that the
PUCs Bureau of Investigations
and Enforcement found to be inad-
equate.

Trafc on the Veterans Memorial Bridge
switched lanes Tuesday, and trafc will
remain one lane in each direction until sum-
mer of 2014.
According to Mike Taluto, PennDOT
spokesman, trafc over the span crossing
the Susquehanna River connecting Wilkes-
Barre and Kingston was moved to the com-
pleted new deck while work commenced on
the other two lanes of the four-lane bridge.
Taluto said minor delays can be expected
and aggers would be used to control and
direct trafc.
Drivers should pay attention to the ag-
gers and all signs, Taluto said.
The $6 million project is expected to be
completed by mid-2014, he said. The proj-
ect will also include excavation, pavement,
temporary trafc control, concrete median
barrier, cement concrete curb and sidewalk,
pavement markings, removal of portion of
existing bridge, trafc control beneath the
bridge, concrete repair and other miscella-
neous construction.

NEW YORK Al-Jazeera
America signed on with a brisk
hello from anchor Tony Harris
before he got down to business
with his networks rst stories:
continued turmoil in Egypt,
shots red at an Atlanta elemen-
tary school and more wildres
in the West.
With that, the network
entered the cable-news fray long
dominated by CNN, MSNBC
and Fox News Channel.
The Qatar-based Al-Jazeera
Media Network launched its
U.S. outlet only eight months
after announcing the new ven-
ture, which on Tuesday replaced
Al Gores Current TV in more
than 45 million TV homes.
An hour before settling into
its regular schedule at 4 p.m.
Eastern time, the network aired
a preview of its programming
and goals. We are here to tell
the story the way it happens,
as it happens, said anchor
Antonio Mora as the preview
began.
At the same time, the
Al-Jazeera English network was
suspended. It had been available
since 2006 online and in a smat-
tering of cable systems.
Headquartered in New York,
Al-Jazeera America has vowed
to provide unbiased, in-depth
domestic and global news.
The network hired a number
of veterans of U.S. television,
including Harris, an alumnus
of CNN, and Mora, previously
at ABC News. Other familiar
faces include Sheila MacVicar,
Soledad OBrien, Joie Chen and
John Seigenthaler.
Scheduled programs include
a nightly newscast anchored by
Seigenthaler; Consider This,
a current-affairs hour hosted
by Mora; America Tonight,
a newsmagazine described as
the networks agship telecast
anchored by Chen; and Real
Money with Ali Velshi.
Besides New York, domes-
tic bureaus are located in
Washington, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Dallas, Detroit,
Chicago, Denver, Miami,
Seattle, Nashville, Tenn., and
New Orleans.
The new network will also
draw from the 70 bureaus par-
ent Al-Jazeera operates globally.
Al-Jazeera Media claimed
an instant U.S. foothold with
its $500 million purchase of
Current TV and the cable distri-
bution of that little-watched net-
work. Al-Jazeera America is also
available from satellite provid-
ers DirecTV and Dish Network.
Thanks to the deep pockets of
its parent, the newnetwork com-
mands considerable resources
with no urgent need to turn a
prot, as evidenced by a stated
policy to air only six minutes
of commercials each hour, less
than half the usual time devoted
to advertising by most commer-
cial networks.
The channel also has challeng-
es ahead. It will have to win over
viewers to the serious news-
casting it promises to deliver,
as well as overcome suspicion
some Americans might feel for
a news organization controlled
by a foreign government or even
see as anti-American.

MIKE HOUSEHOLDER
Associated Press
DETROITHe was the mas-
ter of his genre, the Dickens of
Detroit, the Chaucer of Crime.
Pretty much every novel
Elmore Leonard wrote from
the mid-1980s on was a best-
seller, and every fan of crime
stories knew his name. George
Clooney was an admirer. So
were Quentin Tarantino, Saul
Bellow and Stephen King and
millions of ordinary readers.
Leonard, who died Tuesday
at age 87, helped achieve for
crime writing what King did
for horror and Ray Bradbury
for science ction. He made it
hip, and he made it respectable.
When the public ocked to
watch John Travolta in the
movie version of Get Shorty
in 1995, its author became the
darling of Hollywoods hottest
young directors. Book critics
and literary stars, prone to dis-
missing crime novels as light
entertainment, competed for
adjectives to praise him. Last
fall, he became the rst crime
writer to receive an honorary
National Book Award, a prize
given in the past to Philip Roth,
Norman Mailer and Arthur
Miller.
Few writers so memorably
traveled the low road. His more
than 40 novels were peopled by
pathetic schemers, clever con-
men and casual killers. Each
was characterized by moral
ambivalence about crime, black
humor and wickedly acute
depictions of human nature:
the greedy dreams of Armand
Degas in Killshot, the wise-
cracking cool of Chili Palmer
in Get Shorty, Jack Belmonts
lust for notoriety in The Hot
Kid.
Leonards novels and short
stories were turned into dozens
of feature lms, TV movies and
series, including the current FX
show Justied, which stars
Timothy Olyphant as one of
Leonards signature characters,
the cool-under-pressure U.S.
marshal Raylan Givens.
Critics loved Leonards aw-
lessly unadorned, colloquial
style, as well as how real his
characters sounded when they
spoke.
People always say, Where
do you get (your characters)
words? And I say, Cant you
remember people talking or
think up people talking in your
head? Thats all it is. I dont
know why that seems such a
wonder to people, he told The
Associated Press last year.
Leonard spent much of his
childhood in Detroit and set
many of his novels in the city.
Others were set in Miami near
his North Palm Beach, Fla.,
vacation home.
He died at his home in the
Detroit suburb of Bloomeld
Township, where he did much
of his writing, from complica-
tions of a stroke he suffered a
few weeks ago, according to his
researcher, Gregg Sutter.
Crime novelist James Lee
Burke said Leonard was a
gentleman of the old school
whose stylistic techniques and
experimentation with point of
view and narrative voice had
an enormous inuence on hun-
dreds of publishing writers.
Leonards work contained
moral and political themes
without being didactic, Burke
said. And he was able to write
social satire disguised as a
crime novel, or he could write a
crime novel disguised as social
satire.
Leonard didnt have a best-
seller until he was 60, and
few critics took him seriously
before the 1990s. Now the
Library of America, which
publishes hardcover editions
of classic American writing, is
planning a three-volume set of
his work.
He had some minor success-
es in the 1950s and 60s writ-
ing Western stories and novels,
a couple of which were made
into movies. But when inter-
est in the Western dried up, he
turned to writing scripts for
educational and industrial lms
while trying his hand at anoth-
er genre: crime novels.
The rst, The Big Bounce,
was rejected many times before
it was published as a paperback
in 1969. Hollywood came call-
ing again, paying $50,000 for
the rights and turning it into
a movie starring Ryan ONeal
that even Leonard called ter-
rible.
He followed up with several
more fast-paced crime nov-
els, including Swag (1976).
Leonard was already following
the advice he would later give
to young writers: Try to leave
out the parts that people skip.
In 1978, he was commis-
sioned to write an article about
the Detroit Police Department
and shadowed police of-
cers for nearly three months.
Starting with City Primeval
in 1980, his crime novels
gained a new authenticity, with
quirky but believable characters
and crisp, slangy dialogue. But
sales remained light.
Donald I. Fine, an editor at
Arbor House, thought they
deserved better and promised
to put the muscle of his public-
ity department behind them.
He delivered: In 1985, Glitz,
a stylish novel of vengeance
set in Atlantic City, became
Leonards rst best-seller.
Hollywood rediscovered him,
churning out a succession of
bad movies, including 52 Pick-
up starring Roy Scheider.
It took Barry Sonnenfeld to
nally show Hollywood how
to turn a Leonard novel into a
really good movie. Get Shorty
was the rst to feel and sound
like a true Leonard story.
Then Quentin Tarantino took
a turn with Rum Punch, turn-
ing it into Jackie Brown, a
campy lm starring Pam Grier.
But Steven Soderbergh stayed
faithful to Leonards story and
dialogue with Out of Sight.

COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne
County judge has denied the request
of a Philadelphia man who asked that
charges against him be dismissed or
he be given a new trial in the robbery
of a Plymouth Township strip club.
Judge Michael Vough on Tuesday
denied the request by Kevin
Williams, 31, who was sentenced
on July 8 to 10 to 20 years in prison
after being convicted by a Luzerne
County jury in May of several related
charges.
Williams claimed in a ling
Monday he should be given a new
trial or charges should be dismissed
because of inconsistent and contra-
dictory testimony during his trial.
Vough said in a one-page order
that Williams had 10 days from the
time he was sentenced to make any
post-sentence requests and he did so
beyond the 10-day period.
Also on Tuesday, Vough scheduled
the trial for Williams co-defendant,
William Gronosky, on related and
unrelated charges to begin Sept. 3 at
10:15 a.m.
LEONARD ONTHE SILVER SCREEN

Ehab Al Shihabi, second from right, interim CEO for Al-Jazeera America, ges-
tures as he chats with newsroom staff after the networks first broadcast on
Tuesday.
Lackawanna College President
Mark Volk said the appearance
is one he and others are looking
forward to. He added that using
Lackawanna College as a focal
point on the national talk about
the ties between education and
the economy is a valid example.
President Obama has spoken
on many occasions about the
increased importance of two-
year colleges in meeting our
countrys needs for the future.
And, we know that the cost of
education is of critical interest to
the president and to us all. As an
exceptionally cost-effective col-
lege with high quality programs
and a proven track record of suc-
cess, Lackawanna represents the
New American Model for Higher
Education, Volk said.
The joint appearance, as far as
Casey can recall, is the rst one
for the pair in Pennsylvania since
they were elected.
This is quite the rare event,
Casey, a Democrat, said. Most
communities dont get this kind
of opportunity.
Casey said he received a call
about two weeks ago fromBiden,
who said the president was going
to be traveling through NewYork
and Northeastern Pennsylvania
and was looking for a venue in
this region that was a commu-
nity college in an urban setting.
Casey suggested Lackawanna
College.
Obama will start his four-
city speaking tour Thursday
when he will deliver remarks
at the University at Buffalo and
then Henninger High School in
Syracuse, N.Y. On Friday, the
president will participate in a
town hall event at Binghamton
University before heading south
to Scranton. Biden is not expect-
ed to join Obama at any of the
New York stops.
The Scranton stop will take
place in the Lackawanna Student
Union Gymnasium, which Casey
said he reminded Biden was the
Catholic Youth Center when
Biden was a boy.
Casey will be at the event,
though its unclear if hell have a
speaking role. He said he hopes
the president makes a clear cor-
relation between the importance
of an education and employment.
Its not just a talking point or
a speech, Casey said. Its essen-
tial for job growth and economy
strength.

KINGSTON Wyoming
Valley West School District
teacher union President Linda
Houck said Tuesday she is in
the process of ling labor griev-
ances over changes in elemen-
tary music education which
she has been teaching and
elimination of a middle school
librarian position.
Houck said that, while she
felt the cuts would hurt stu-
dents, the grievances were
based on timing, and not on the
cuts themselves. Any changes
had to be announced by the
end of April under both state
law and the union contract, she
said, but that deadline was not
met.
They called me yesterday
(Monday) and told me they
have decided to eliminate my
full-time elementary position,
Houck said.
Houck said the middle
school librarian decision was
almost as abrupt, contending
the School Board did men-
tion plans to eliminate the
post at the end of June, but
then agreed to reconsider
after the union raised several
issues. Yet the librarian, Joann
Prushinski, didnt learn the
results of that reconsideration
until last week, Houck said.
The board voted in
December on the elemen-
tary school music program.
Critics contended the vote
was to eliminate elementary
music classes, but the board,
and Superintendent Charles
Suppon, repeatedly insisted
the vote was only to study
potential changes.
But Houck said the changes
she was told about were dra-
matic. She has been teach-
ing about 35 hours of music
lessons in ve elementary
schools, with a high school
teacher chipping in another
four or ve hours. Under the
new proposal, Houck said, she
would be switched to full-time
music teacher at the middle
school a job made avail-
able by the retirement of her
husband, also a music teacher
and three other teachers
would cover elementary school
lessons.
Houck said her understand-
ing is that lessons would be
reduced to about 12 hours
a week total among the ve
schools. There is no way they
can cover the things I covered.
The librarian issue began
with the retirement of an
elementary school librarian
earlier this year. Houck said
the district has four: two at the
recently enlarged State Street
Elementary, one full-time at
Dana Street Elementary, and a
fourth splitting time among the
other three schools.
The board posted to rell
the position, but apparently
changed its mind, announc-
ing at the end of June that
Prushinski would take on the
duties. Houck said she pointed
out the need of a librarian at
the large middle school and
highlighted studies that show
students in schools with certi-
ed librarians score better in
standardized tests, and the
board agreed to reconsider.
Both changes are going to
be grieved, Houck said. The
idea is that we dont y by the
seat of our pants, and that par-
ents know what to expect.
Board President Gordon
Dussinger said the changes
were strictly a response to
a tight budget, and that the
delay in making nal decisions
stemmed fromthe rapidly shift-
ing landscape.
Sometimes you expect
things to happen and they
dont, and school is about to
open and other factors come
in, Dussinger said, conceding
Houck may have grounds for

Attorneys fle mental
infrmity defense
As promised, attorneys representing
a Forty Fort woman charged in connec-
tion with a fatal hit-and-run in 2008 have
led court papers notifying the court
and prosecutors that they will be using a
mental inrmity defense.
Megan Panowicz, 28, is charged
in the August 2008 death of Sharon
Shaughnessy, whowas killedonWyoming
Avenue in Kingston when she was report-
edly struck by three vehicles. Panowicz is
scheduled to be tried Sept. 23.
Panowiczs attorneys, her father,
Robert Panowicz, and Basil Russin, said
in a ling Tuesday that Megan Panowicz
suffers from post traumatic stress dis-
order caused by the accident that killed
Shaughnessy.
The events which caused her to have
post traumatic stress rendered her inca-
pable of appreciating the signicance or
consequences of her behavior and affect-
ed her ability to determine what was
right or wrong at that crucial moment,
the attorneys wrote.
Panowicz has a longstanding disor-
der that causes her to avoid stressful sit-
uations by attempting to over self con-
trol. The attorneys said they intend on
calling two doctors as well as Panowicz
and her mother, Cheryl Panowicz, to
prove the inrmity defense.
Prosecutors will have a chance to
respond to the ling. A hearing will then
be scheduled.

Kingston
police 3
digits, not
7, away
KINGSTON This
municipality ended its
emergency dispatching
services in August 2010,
but that has not stopped
some residents from mis-
takenly calling the police
department seeking aid
rather than the county-
operated 911 system.
Sgt. Michael Krzywicki
urges residents of the
West Side community who
encounter an emergency to
call Luzerne County 911.
The police department
receives six or more direct
calls a day for a variety of
emergencies, he estimated,
with some callers leaving
the information on voice
mail.
Some of the calls are
for service, and when they
directly call our depart-
ment, there is a three-
to-four-minute delay in
response, Krzywicki said.
Residents need to call
911, which dispatches our
department and re.
For example, said
Krzywicki, one woman
recently called the depart-
ment and left a voice mail
message about a suspicious
person riding a bicycle and
trying to open car doors.
By the time police received
the message, the bandit
bicyclist was long gone.
If the woman had called
911 directly, he said, an
ofcer would have imme-
diately been dispatched
to the street, signicantly
increasing the odds the
culprit would have been
captured.
Also, due to a recent rash
of car break-ins, Krzywicki
urged residents to remove
valuable items from their
vehicles and to lock them.
Kingston was the last
municipality in Luzerne
County to have its own
emergency dispatching
services, which ended
nearly three years ago
when Luzerne County 911
took over on Sept. 1, 2010.
The demand for state-
mandated training and
technical standards,
including having two cer-
tied dispatchers on-duty
at all times, prompted
Kingston to turn over dis-
patching to the county.

Dr. David Cooper brought plane down safely despite failure of electrical system, landing gear
WILKES-BARRE Dr. David Cooper
said he wasnt scared at all, even though the
plane he was piloting had lost power and
he had to make an emergency landing with
its landing gear unable to lock last week.
It was like being up there all alone
like (Charles) Lindbergh, Cooper said
Tuesday. I just had to get it on the ground
without bumping into another airplane.
Cooper made the emergency landing
at Harrisburg International Airport in
Middletown late Thursday afternoon. He
was traveling alone.
Cooper, an orthopedic surgeon who
owns The Knee Center on Kidder Street,
was on his way to Hershey, where he had
scheduled surgeries on Friday appoint-
ments he kept despite the harrowing expe-
rience.
For most of the 25-minute ight from
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International
Airport to Harrisburg, Cooper said it was
uneventful. He was at about 8,000 feet and
had just received clearance to go to 6,000
feet for his approach into Harrisburg
about 10 minutes away.
After that, things started to go bad real
quickly, he said.
His single, jet-engine Beech Bonanza
converted from a piston-driven engine
began to oscillate and the electrical system
began to shut down. In a matter of minutes,
Cooper said, the plane, valued at $750,000
and one of only 40 in the world, was with-
out electrical power.
He said the jet engine never lost power,
but he was ying an aircraft with no com-
munication that was undetectable on radar.
The airport couldnt track him and other
planes in the air would not know he was
there.
Cooper used a hand-held radio to notify
the airport he was going to make an emer-
gency landing. He used a hand-held GPS
device to help get him to the airport. He
also was able to use the towers at Three
Mile Island, located adjacent to the airport,
to guide him.
Cooper said he was able to keep the
plane level as he manually cranked the land-
ing gear down. However, he was unable to
know if the gear locked in place. When he
hit the runway, the landing gear collapsed
because it wasnt locked.
I felt the best thing was to get the plane
on the ground, he said. I had a normal
approach and the airport had the re
engines out in case of a problem.
Cooper said the landing went well,
despite being unable to use aps to slow
the plane. He said the plane veered slightly
off the runway and sparks caused a small
grass re.
I came in at a higher speed than nor-
mal, he said. I was uninjured, but the
plane sustained between $100,00 and
$200,000 worth of damage.
Cooper said sheet metal was damaged,
but the largest expense will be in tear-
ing down the engine. He said the Federal
Aviation Administration will investigate to
determine what caused the electrical sys-
tem to quit.
The 25-year licensed pilot said it will
take four months to repair the aircraft at
Seamans Airport in Factoryville.
Cooper said he ies all over the U.S. and
cant wait to get back into the air.
Pilots, like surgeons, solve problems,
he said. In this case, you accept your fate
and make the most of it.
What will Cooper take away from this
experience? He said he was concerned
about encountering another aircraft.
Well, you learn how you react in an
emergency, he said. Its interesting; I
didnt panic and I had no fear just deter-
mination. I was condent I was going to
get the plane and myself on the ground
safely.

CAIRO Egypts military-
backed authorities arrested the
supreme leader of the coun-
trys Muslim Brotherhood on
Tuesday, dealing a serious blow
to the Islamist group at a time
when it is struggling to keep up
street protests against the oust-
er of President Mohammed
Morsi in the face of a harsh gov-
ernment crackdown.
The Brotherhoods spiri-
tual guide, Mohammed Badie,
was arrested in an apartment
in the Cairo district of Nasr
City, close to the site of a sit-in
encampment that was forcibly
cleared by security forces last
week, triggering violence that
killed hundreds of people.
Badies arrest is the latest
move in an escalating crack-
down by authorities on the
Brotherhood, which has seen
hundreds of its members taken
into custody.
The groups near-daily pro-
tests since Morsis ouster have
diminished in recent days, with
scattered demonstrations in
Cairo and elsewhere attracting
mere hundreds, or even doz-
ens, of protesters. On Tuesday,
several hundred Morsi support-
ers staged protests in Helwan,
an industrial suburb north of
Cairo, and in Ein Shams, a resi-
dential district on the opposite
end of the city, shortly before
the nighttime curfew went into
effect at 7.
Morsi has been detained in
an undisclosed location since
the July 3 coup that ousted
him, after protests by millions
of Egyptians against his rule.
He is facing accusations of
conspiring with the militant
Palestinian Hamas group to
escape from prison during the
2011 uprising and complicity
in the killing and torture of pro-
testers outside his Cairo palace
in December.
Badies last public appear-
ance was at the Nasr City pro-
test encampment last month,
when he delivered a ery
speech from a makeshift stage
in which he denounced the mil-
itarys removal of Morsi. His
arrest followed the killing of
his son Ammar, who was shot
dead during violent clashes
between security forces and
Morsi supporters in Cairo on
Friday.
Badie and his powerful dep-
uty, Khairat el-Shater, are to be
tried later this month on charg-
es of complicity in the killing
in June of eight protesters out-
side the Brotherhoods national
headquarters in Cairo.
Badie was taken to Torah
prison in a suburb south of
Cairo, where a team of pros-
ecutors was questioning him,
security ofcials said, speak-
ing on condition of anonymity
because they were not autho-
rized to talk to the media.
Torah is the same sprawling
complex where ex-president
Hosni Mubarak, ousted in the
2011 popular uprising, is being
held, along with his two sons.
Several Mubarak-era gures
are also imprisoned there, as
are several Brotherhood lead-
ers and other Islamists.
Meanwhile, the Brotherhood
released the text of Badies
weekly message to the groups
followers. Quoting heavily from
the Quran, he warned that any-
one who supports the current
oppression, suppression and
bloodshed including Arab
and foreign governments
will soon regret their stand.
FORT HOOD, Texas
Hasan to mount
defense, maybe
Military prosecutors rested their case
Tuesday against the Army psychiatrist
accused of killing 13 people during the
2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
After calling nearly 90 witnesses in 11
days, prosecutors said they had complet-
ed their case during Maj. Nidal Hasans
trial. Hasan also is accused of wounding
more than 30 people at the Texas Army
post during the attack, which was the
worst mass shooting ever on a U.S. mili-
tary base.
The judge adjourned the hearing after
prosecutors rested, meaning Hasan
could begin his defense today but
whether he will seize the opportunity
remains to be seen. Hasan is acting as
his own defense attorney.

Luca Parmitano wrote in his online

in his helmet outside the International
Space Station.
But worse than that, the water covers
my nose a really awful sensation that I
make worse by my vain attempts to move
the water by shaking my head, the for-
mer test pilot wrote. By now, the upper
part of the helmet is full of water and I
cant even be sure that the next time I
breathe I will ll my lungs with air and
not liquid.

Blood pressure
falls with easier
access to care
CHICAGO New research
suggests giving patients easier-
to-take medicine and no-copay
medical visits can help drive
down high blood pressure,
a major contributor to poor
health and untimely deaths
nationwide.
Those efforts were part of a
big health care providers eight-
year program, involving more
than 300,000 patients with
high blood pressure. At the
beginning, less than half had
brought their blood pressure
under control. That increased
to a remarkable 80 percent, well
above the national average, the
researchers said.
The research involved Kaiser
Permanente in Northern
California, a network of 21 hos-
pitals and 73 doctors ofces,
which makes coordinating
treatment easier than in inde-
pendent physicians ofces.
The number of heart attacks
and strokes among Northern
California members fell sub-
stantially during roughly the
same time as the 2001-09 study.
Dr. Marc Jaffe, the lead author
and leader of a Kaiser heart dis-
ease risk reduction program,
said its impossible to know if
the blood pressure program can
be credited for those declines,
but he thinks it at least contrib-
uted.
Reductions continued even
after the study ended; in 2011,
87 percent of roughly 350,000
Kaiser patients had recom-
mended blood pressure levels.
The study was published
Tuesday in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Whats unique about this is
the sheer scale of what theyve
done, said Dr. Goutham Rao,
a family medicine special-
ist at NorthShore University
HealthSystem, a group of four
hospitals in Chicagos north-
ern suburbs. Rao is involved in
research on reducing obesity
and other risks for heart dis-
ease.
If we were able to keep every-
ones blood pressure under
control in the United States,
the number of new strokes and
heart attacks would go down
just exponentially, he said.
High blood pressure affects
1 in 3 U.S. adults, or 67 mil-
lion people, and the condi-
tion caused or contributed to
more than 348,000 deaths in
2009, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Normal blood pressure is con-
sidered a reading of less than
120 over 80; high blood pres-
sure is 140 over 90 or higher.
High blood pressure typically
causes no symptoms, at least
initially, and can sometimes be
managed with a healthy life-
style, including physical activ-
ity plus avoiding salty foods,
heavy drinking and excess
weight. But two or more pre-
scription drugs are often need-
ed to bring high blood pressure
under control.
Patients improved when copays
dropped, meds are made

No one was injured and all students and teachers were accounted for and safe, authorities said.
DECATUR A suspect was in cus-
tody after gunre at an Atlanta-area
elementary school where dramatic televi-
sion footage showed young students rac-
ing out of the building, being escorted by
teachers and police. No one was injured
and all students and teachers were
accounted for and safe, authorities said.
Television footage showed stu-
dents being evacuated from Ronald E.
McNair Discovery Learning Academy in
Decatur, a few miles east of Atlanta, and
sitting outside in a eld about 1:30 p.m.
School buses were taking them to their
waiting parents and relatives at a nearby
Walmart.
According to WSB-TVs website, a
woman in the school ofce called to say a
gunman asked her to contact the Atlanta
station and police. WSB said that during
the call, shots were heard in the back-
ground.
Numerous police are at the school and
SWAT was there for a time. The suspect
is a man in his mid-20s and didnt have
an obvious connection to the school,
DeKalb County schools Superintendent
Michael Thurmond told The Associated
Press.
WSB-TV assignment editor Lacey
Lecroy said she spoke with the woman
in the schools front ofce who said she
was alone with the suspect and the mans
gun was visible.
It didnt take long to know that this
woman was serious, Lecroy said. Shots
were one of the last things I heard. I was
so worried for her.
Jonessia White, the mother of a kin-
dergartner at the school, told AP she
talked to her sons teacher shortly after
most students were evacuated. White
said the teacher told her they were still
inside the building shortly after 2 p.m.
When I hear hes safely out of the
building, Ill be OK, White said, add-
ing she learned of the shooting when a
friend called to say helicopters were hov-
ering over the school.
DeKalb County Police Department
spokeswoman Mekka Parish said, Were
just trying to calmthe nerves of parents.
Police had strung yellowtape up block-
ing intersections near the school while
children waited to be taken to Walmart,
where hundreds of people were waiting.

Summer has been buggier than normal
WASHINGTON The
tiny mosquito all too often has
man on the run. And this sum-
mer, it seems even worse than
usual.
You cant get from the car
to inside our house without
getting attacked, its that bad,
high school teacher Ryan
Miller said from his home in
Arlington, Va. Minutes earlier,
he saw a mosquito circling
his 4-month-old daughter
indoors.
Experts say its been a bug-
gier-than-normal summer in
many places around the U.S.
because of a combination of
drought, heavy rain and heat.
It may be worst in the
Southeast, which is getting hit
with three years worth of bugs
in one summer, said Jonathan
Day, who studies insects at the
University of Florida.
Two years of drought were
followed by incredibly heavy
rain this year. During dry
spells, mosquito eggs often
didnt get wet enough to
hatch. This years rain revived
those, along with the normal
2013 batch.
In parts of Connecticut this
summer, mosquito traps had
double the usual number of
bugs. Minnesota traps in July
had about triple the 10-year
average. And in central
California, traps had ve times
as many of one key species as
the recent average.
Humans have been bat-
tling the blood-drinking bugs
for thousands of years, and
despite mans huge advantages
in technology and size, people
are not getting the upper hand.
Just lots of bites on the hand.
We have to keep ghting
just to hold our own, said
Tom Wilmot, past president
of the Mosquito Control
Association and a Michigan
mosquito control district
chief. And in some places, he
said, the mosquitoes are win-
ning.
In southwestern Florida
around Fort Myers, Lee
County mosquito control
was getting more than 300
calls per day from residents
at times this summer, a much
higher count than usual. But
the more impressive tally was
the number of bugs landing
on inspectors unprotected
legs: more than 100 a minute
in some hotspots, said deputy
director Shelly Radovan.

IN BRIEF
DENVER Want to be
in the legal pot industry
in Colorado? Open your
checkbook.
Colorados pot regula-
tors opened three days
of hearings Tuesday to
lay out licensing specics
before retail sales begin in
January.
The proposed rules
require would-be ganjapre-
neurs to pay up to $5,000
just to apply to be in the
recreational pot business.
Operational licenses cost
another $2,750 to $14,000.
Successful applicants
must also pass a gauntlet
of criminal background
checks and residency
requirements.
The result is expected
to be an industry that will
have as much red tape as
green leaves. Colorado
is trying to show it can
strictly regulate and con-
trol a drug that has been
operating in the shadows
for decades, despite the
advent of medical marijua-
na more than a decade ago.
Ofcials say steep appli-
cation fees are needed to
properly screen marijuana
workers, checking nger-
prints and checking for
recent drug felons and
people with possible ties
to criminal drug cartels.
Colorado will also be
screening future marijuana
businesses to make sure no
owners live out of state, a
requirement set forth by
state lawmakers earlier
this year. The residency
requirements which
apply from owners all the
way down to so-called
bud-tenders who man
the counters and measure
out marijuana are a
holdover from Colorados
existing medical marijuana
industry.
The hefty operational
license fees, according to
state ofcials, are needed
to pay for enforcement of
the nascent industry. Plans
call for an ambitious seed-
to-sale tracking system
in which Colorado will
require video surveillance
of all plants as they grow
and are prepared, pack-
aged and sold to custom-
ers.
The Department of
Revenue aimed to use
seed-to-sale tracking for
Colorados medical mari-
juana business, but the
agency ran out of money
before getting the program
fully operational. The
Department doesnt plan
to make the same mistake
twice, so operational fees
are high. Retail stores
will have to pay $3,750 to
$14,000 a year, depending
on their size. Growers will
pay $2,750 a year.
Retail pot stores will also
have to submit detailed
oor plans to show theyre
meeting security require-
ments. Theyll have to get
surety bonds to ensure
contract completion in the
event of contractor default.
HARRISBURG
Sixty ve municipalities
in Luzerne County have
received their share of
funds collected by the
state from Feb. 1-July
31 through state liquor
license fees.
Overall, the county
received $118,240, rang-
ing from $23,400 for
Wilkes-Barre to $50 for
Slocum Township.
License fees are based
on the type of license
and the population of the
municipality in which it is
located, Stacy Kriedeman,
the state liquor control
board spokeswoman, said
Tuesday.
The fees are distributed
twice a year to munici-
palities. In the previous
round, which included
Aug. 1 through Jan. 31,
$55,600 was distrib-
uted to Luzerne County
municipalities. Statewide,
from Feb. 1-July 31, $2.4
million was distributed to
a total of 1,418 munici-
palities.
Under the Pennsylvania
Liquor Code, fees are col-
lected whenever a liquor
license application, renew-
al or validation is submit-
ted. Once approved, the
money is distributed to
the municipality in which
the licensee is located to
help defray the cost of
local law enforcement.
Heres a breakdown of
how which local munici-
palities received funds,
and how much they got:
Cities
Hazleton: $13,500
Nanticoke: $5,200
Pittston: $2,690

GRANTS PASS, Ore.
Wildres burning in
Oregon, Idaho andMontana
are taxing national reght-
ing resources and helping to
push spending past $1 bil-
lion for the year.
The National Interagency
Fire Center in Boise upped
the national wildre pre-
paredness level Tuesday to
the highest level for the rst
time in ve years.
The center lists two cen-
tral Idaho wildres as the
countrys top priorities,
helping provide crews and
resources for the Beaver
Creek re, which forced
the evacuation of 1,250
homes in the resort area of
Ketchum and Sun Valley
and has cost nearly $12 mil-
lion so far.
President Barack Obama
was briefed Tuesday morn-
ing on the wildres by his
homeland security adviser,
Lisa Monaco. The White
House said the administra-
tions focus is on supporting
state and local rst respond-
ers and that Obamas team
is in ongoing contact with
federal and local partners.
More than 40 uncon-
tained, active andlarge wild-
res dot the U.S. map from
Arizona to Washington
state and Alaska, the White
House said. About 17,800
people have beendispatched
to the res.
Steve Gage, assistant
director of operations for
the re center, said they
cant ll all the requests for
crews and equipment from
the 48 res that remain
uncontained around the
country.
Gage said that as re
season progresses, the cen-
ter moves crews around to
where the greatest assets
such as houses are threat-
ened, and tries to have
crews positioned to catch
new res when they are
small.
In Oregon, winds that
draw windsurfers to the
Columbia Gorge have
doubled the size of a wild-
re to 10 square miles.
The Government Flat re
burned two homes and
threatens 150 more on the
northern anks of Mount
Hood. Four days into the
battle the cost has topped
$1 million, said Oregon
Department of Forestry
spokesman Dave Morman.
About 50 homes have evac-
uated in the area of canyons
10 miles southwest of The
Dalles.
Thats one of the chal-
lenges when the re gets
into these long canyons, its
very, very difcult for re-
ghters, he said.
The boost in priority
for Idahos Beaver Creek
re gave re managers
resources they needed
to start attacking the re
more directly, said re
spokesman Rudy Evenson.
Weather conditions were
also improving. The re
was 9 percent contained
after burning 160 square
miles and had 1,750 per-
sonnel. The cost through
Monday was $11.6 million.
Nationally, federal agen-
cies have spent more than
$1 billion so far this year,
about half last years total
of $1.9 billion, according to
the re center. There have
been 33,000 res that have
burned 3.4 million acres.
Whether costs top the
10-year average of $1.4
billion or the $1.9 billion
spent in 2012 and 2006 will
depend on the rest of the
wildre season, which tra-
ditionally gets very active in
Southern California as late
as October, said Gage.
Professor Norman
Christensen of Duke
Universitys Nicholas
School of the Environment,
an expert in the environ-
mental impacts of forest
res, said res have been
particularly intense in
Colorado, California and
Idaho this year.
Certainly drought in
some areas has contributed
to the number and intensity
of re events, he said in an
email. But many of the res
have been in highly populat-
ed, wilderness-urban inter-
face areas such as Colorado
Springs, Sun Valley, Idaho,
and the west slope of the
Sierra Nevada. That adds
greatly to costs since so
many more resources are
required to protect built
structures.

Lake-Lehman approves

SUSAN BETTINGER
Times Leader Correspondent
The Lake-Lehman
School Board on Monday
night approved a con-
tract between the school
district and UGI Services
Inc. (Gasmark) for the
period of Jan. 1 to Dec.
31, 2014, for the pur-

learned.
In addition, the board
approved the contract
between the district
and UGI Services Inc.
(Gasmark- Powermark)
for the period of Feb. 7,

This comes at a $9,500

In other matters, the

Accepted the resig-

Insurance carrier owed moneytaken
byKings College employee, suit says
SHEENA DELAZIO
sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE A
suit filed recently in Luzerne
County Court by an insurance
company for Kings College is
seeking to recoup more than
$50,000, alleging a former col-
lege employee took the money
for personal use.
Travelers Casualty & Surety
Co. of America filed the suit
against Erin Savitski, of
Shavertown, stating it is owed
$57,399 that Savitski allegedly
took from the college while
she was employed as the direc-
tor of human resources in
2011.
Savitski did not return a
message seeking comment.
John McAndrew, a spokes-
man for the Wilkes-Barre
college, said Tuesday the col-
lege does not comment on
pending litigation or personnel
matters.
He would not comment on
whether the college will be
notifying law enforcement or
if any safeguards have been
put in place to prevent a future
occurrence.
McAndrew did confirm
Savitski was employed as the
director of human resources
and that she left the college in
August 2011.
No criminal charges have
been filed against Savitski.
According to the suit,
Savitski allegedly took appro-
priated business funds for per-
sonal use and hid her conduct
by misleading the college
that she was using the money
appropriately.
Savitski, the suit says,
added $50,438 in unauthor-
ized stipends to her paychecks
and used another $6,961
in unauthorized disburse-
ments.
The suit does not specifi-
cally say what the money may
have been used for.
The insurance company
covered the missing money
for the college and is seeking
repayment of that money.
The suit says Savitskis
actions were uncovered on
Aug. 23, 2011, and she was
terminated six days later.

hopes to recoup more than $50,000

EDWARDSVILLE
Police are searching for
Rahdee Ahmad Johnson,
23, on an arrest warrant
charging him with shoving
an ofcer and trespassing.
Johnson, Timothy
Evans, 19, of Edwardsville,
and Joseph Knowlin, 19,
of Plymouth, were spotted
walking through the Eagle

said.
According to the police
account, this is what hap-
pened:
An ofcer asked Johnson
why he was hiding. He
replied he did not want
police to see him on Eagle
Ridge property because he
knew he was banned from

The three men gave
different answers to why
they were walking through
Eagle Ridge.
The ofcer allegedly
detected an alcohol odor
on Evans. When Evans
was asked if he was drink-
ing, he yelled at the ofcer
and continued to cause a
disturbance, police said.

cuffed, Johnson screamed
and pushed the ofcer
who was arresting Evans,
according to a police
report.
Johnson and Knowlin
ran away as other ofcers
arrived to assist, police
said. Knowlin was cap-
tured on Grove Street
and Johnson was last seen
running into the Hilltop
Apartment complex.
Charges of deant tres-
pass, resisting arrest,
simple assault, disorderly
conduct and public drunk-
enness were led against
Johnson with District
Judge Paul Roberts in
Kingston.
Johnson is also wanted
on an unrelated charge of
driving with a suspend-
ed license on June 30 in
Edwardsville.
Court records say
Johnson pleaded guilty to
deant trespass involving
the Eagle Ridge apartment
complex in January. He
was ned $312.
Johnson also pleaded
guilty to deant trespass
and disorderly conduct
in Luzerne County Court
regarding an incident that
also involved Eagle Ridge
in May 2012. He was
sentenced to six-months
probation, court records
state.

PETERJACKSON
Associated Press
HARRISBURG The
U.S. Education Department
granted Pennsylvania a
partial waiver from the No
Child Left Behind school
evaluation law Tuesday,
giving state ofcials the
exibility to develop alter-
natives they say will mean
more meaningful assess-
ments of schools and stu-
dents.
Pennsylvania is the 41st
state to receive a waiver,
which eliminates the bench-
mark that relies largely
on standardized tests to
measure progress toward a
national goal of all students
reading and doing math at
their actual grade level by
2014.
The state Education
Department said new,
user-friendly school per-
formance proles will
combine standardized test
scores, the graduation rate,
the promotion rate and the
attendance rate to gauge
academic progress at all
3,200 school buildings in
the state starting this fall.
Also, a neweducator eval-
uation system will use stu-
dent achievement among
other criteria in assessing
the performance of teach-
ers starting this year and
principals in 2014-15.
State Education
Secretary William Harner
said the waiver will improve
public education statewide.
Under the states
approved waiver,
Pennsylvania citizens will
have access to quality infor-
mation about the perfor-
mance of our public schools
and students will be provid-
ed with high-quality educa-
tional programs, he said.
Wythe Keever, spokes-
man for the states largest
teacher union, said the
waiver is a step in the
right direction, but that
replacing the so-called
AYP benchmark with mul-
tiple measures of student
achievement wont solve
the statewide need for more
education funding.
If you dont provide ade-
quate resources for teachers
and schools, its like asking
(teachers) to spin straw
into gold, said Keever,
of the Pennsylvania State
Education Association.

Pa. partially skirts No Child Left Behind
PSU board: Student trustee wasnt forced to quit Paterno suit
Spokesman says Peter Khoury was given a choice, not an ultimatum
PETER JACKSON
Associated Press
HARRISBURG The
student trustee on Penn
States board had to
make a choice between
helping select the univer-
sitys next president or
remaining a plaintiff in a
lawsuit led against the
NCAA by the family of
the late football coach Joe
Paterno, a board spokes-
man said Tuesday.
The trustee, 23-year-
old graduate student
Peter Khoury, told the
Centre Daily Times for a
story published Tuesday
that he is withdrawing
from the lawsuit, which
seeks to overturn stiff
NCAA sanctions imposed
last year because of the
Jerry Sandusky child sex
abuse scandal. The sanc-
tions include a four-year
bowl-game ban and a $60
million ne.
The board is not a party
to the litigation.
Khoury said he was
threatened with remov-
al from the 12-trustee
presidential selection
committee if he did not
drop out of the suit. The
committee is searching
for a successor to uni-
versity President Rodney
Erickson, who plans to
retire when his contract
expires in June.
The boards spokes-
man, David LaTorre,
said Khoury and the
other four trustees who
joined in the NCAA suit
have conflicts of interest
because the suit makes
numerous allegations
and claims that are at
odds with the universitys
position. Khoury is the
only one of the five who
is also on the presidential
selection committee.
Board leadership has
had conversations with
the trustee plaintiffs in
an attempt to resolve the
conflicts, LaTorre told
The Associated Press.
In Khourys case, his
personal interests and
positions in the litiga-
tion would have required
that he recuse and absent
himself from significant
parts of the committee
deliberations and candi-
date interviews, LaTorre
said.
Trustee Khoury had
to make a choice between
his personal interests as a
plaintiff in litigation and
his role as a trustee mem-
ber of the presidential
search committee, the
spokesman said.
LaTorre denied that
Khoury was given an ulti-
matum.
It was his choice, he
said. Nobodys forcing
the issue.
Khoury, an Allentown
resident who was
appointed to the board
in 2011 by Gov. Tom
Corbett, did not return
AP phone messages seek-
ing comment.
Anthony Lubrano, one
of the trustees who is a
plaintiff in the suit, said
they all received an email
from the boards office on
Aug. 12 asking them to
withdraw from the case.
Lubrano said that he
wont withdraw and that
he was disappointed by
the boards handling of
the situation.
Its just a sad commen-
tary that we would begin
threatening the youngest
among us, he said. We
can agree to disagree
but we can do it in a way
thats less threatening, I
think.
Pa. joins efort
to track down
duplicate voters
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA
Pennsylvania has joined a
multistate consortium in an
effort to track duplicate vot-
ers outside state borders.
The state will be the 24th
to join the program, the
Pennsylvania Department
of State announced
Tuesday.
The program, called
the Interstate Voter
Registration Crosscheck
Program, is based in
Kentucky. According to
Department of State spokes-
man Ron Ruman, the pro-
gram operates county-to-
county, and similar checks
already happen among
counties. The program
centralizes voter data from
the 24 states and allows for
duplication checks between
counties in each.
When duplicates are
found, county ofcials
will attempt to contact
the twice-registered vot-
ers to verify whether
theyve moved, Ruman
said. If those voters cant
be reached, their registra-
tion will become inactive
through the next two feder-
al elections. If they show up
to vote during that window,
Ruman said, they can vote
and their registration will
be reactivated. If they arent
reached by the end of the
time limit, their registra-
tion will be canceled.

No strong argument for varied workweeks
Mark
Guydish
Excess phone charges
defeat prison goals
York County ofcials are under-
standably unhappy about this, but the
Federal Communications Commission
made the right call last week when it
voted to limit how much companies
can charge for phone calls made from
prison.
The FCC capped the calls at 21 cents
a minute for debit or prepaid calls and
25 cents a minute for collect calls.
Current fees nationally range from
50 cents to $3.95 to place calls, plus
additional per-minute rates of any-
where from 5 cents to 89 cents. Plus,
numerous fees are routinely tacked on.
These phone calls are a prot center
for prisons who have, well, a captive
customer base because inmates cant
have cells in their cells.
Reasonable revenue gains are OK to
provide services to people who dont
garner much public sympathy but
the key word there is reasonable.
In most cases, its families often
poor families who are punished by
high phone call costs. Mothers and
fathers, spouses, children of inmates
theyre the ones who pay to talk
to loved ones who, yes, broke the law,
but who are still needed by their fami-
lies. Allowing inmates to connect with
families increases their likelihood of
rehabilitation.
Maybe the FCC limit is too low
and it must be periodically reviewed
and revised. But some national rules
on this issue were needed.
Of course, it will leave a hole in some
prison budgets. York County Prison
received $775,277 from phone revenue
in 2012.
Its not yet clear howmuch these new
rates will cut into the county budget.
Ofcials will have to search for cre-
ative, equitable ways to make up that
revenue preferably not piling it onto
property tax payers.
But some rules needed to be set to
prevent egregious rates that essentially
resulted in some prisons (not necessar-
ily ours) stealing from the families of
inmates.
York Daily Record
These phone calls are a profit
center for prisons who have,
well, a captive customer base
because inmates cant have
cells in their cells.
Corruption crackdown
is a surprise fromChina
The newregime of Chinese President
Xi Jinping is turning up the heat on cor-
ruption there, and is making sure you
can read all about it. Stories of graft,
ofcial excess and corporate malfea-
sance abound, not only in foreign news
outlets but also in Chinas embold-
ened domestic publications and social
media.
Xi, who took ofce in March, has
responded aggressively to public com-
plaints about ofcial misconduct. He
has denounced corruption as a threat to
the existence of his ruling Communist
Party.
His crackdown has targeted compa-
nies as well as government bureaucrats.
Thats a good sign; China is overdue
for an upgrade of its shaky business
standards. The worlds second-largest
economy (after the U.S.) cant afford to
let cheaters siphon off a big share of its
wealth, as they have done for decades.
A cleanup would work in favor
of Western companies that are now
shut out of such industries as energy,
nance and real estate, where insiders
take care of their own. Western mul-
tinationals generally maintain strict
policies against bribery, kickbacks and
other improper activities. Many claim
they operate at a disadvantage in China
because they refuse to pay off bigwigs
in local government and state-owned
enterprises that dominate large sectors
of the economy.
Its good to keep a healthy dose
of skepticism about this crackdown.
Critics say its window-dressing. China
recently imprisoned a leading Beijing
anti-corruption activist, Xu Zhiyong,
who has pushed for government trans-
parency. Xi may see corruption as a
threat, but he still sees vocal opposition
to Communist rule as an even greater
threat.
Still, he seems to recognize the value
of a change in the culture, and the
Chinese public seems to welcome that.
Xi has eschewed lavish banquets,
opting for simpler meals. Four dishes,
one soup is a hot political catchphrase.
Ofcials who meet with Xi typically
leave their luxury cars and fancy wrist-
watches at home. Sales of French wine,
chic cigarettes and delicacies such as
shark n and abalone have plunged.
More than 2,200 ofcials have been
publicly disciplined this year for abus-
ing their positions for personal gain.
One collected $160,000 in gifts at his
daughters lavish wedding. Another,
who came under investigation when
a graphic sex tape leaked on to the
Internet, faces years in prison for tak-
ing bribes.
Chinese companies and foreign
enterprises operating in China stand
accused of corruption. Chinese author-
ities charge that British pharmaceutical
giant GlaxoSmithKline bribed doctors
and hospitals on a massive scale to
push its drugs and vaccines. The com-
pany has conceded that its executives
in China acted outside its policies and
appeared to have broken Chinese law.
Chinese companies that have long
operated with impunity face new
scrutiny. In a remarkable example, a
journalist using social media accused
state-owned China Resources of gross-
ly overpaying for a mining acquisition
and diverting some of the money to
executives involved in the transaction.
The giant conglomerate has denied
wrongdoing. Government watchdogs
reportedly are investigating.
The rich and powerful dont enjoy
the protection they once thought they
did. Bo Xilai, a populist Chinese poli-
tician, faces corruption charges. His
wife was convicted last year in the mur-
der of a British businessman who had
threatened to expose the familys hid-
den offshore wealth. The murder illus-
trated how some high-ranking Chinese
had felt free to operate outside the law.
Xis crackdown is a work in progress.
Unlike the tradition of the American
presidency, where the rst 100 days
typically bring a rush for change,
Chinas leaders tend to set priorities,
methodically build support and deliv-
er over the course of years. But given
Chinas historic protection of insiders
and tolerance of corruption, this effort
is a pleasant surprise.
The Chicago Tribune
Its good to keep a healthy
dose of skepticism about this
crackdown. Critics say its
window-dressing.
The indignation was likely swift and
strong for many. There are Luzerne
County employees who only work 32.5
hours a week! Typical union impu-
dence, classic govern-
ment waste!
And if youre like
most employed people
in the last decade or
so, you think of all the
hours you work beyond
40 to get all the added
work done without
extra pay just out of
concern of keeping your
job. Or you work more
than 40 hours a week
and get paid, but its all minimum
wage with no benets because youre
scrambling from part-time post to part-
time post.
So blowing your lid over Sundays
article about those county slackers
might be a justiable reaction, but Im
thinking were actually getting angry
over the wrong thing.
Statistics get messy here, but its
worth pointing out a few:
According to the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics American Time
Use study in 2012, employed people
worked an average of 7.7 hours a day,
which would be a 38.5-hour workweek.
Yet in a 2008 poll, the National
Sleep Foundation, respondents
claimed to be spending an average
of nearly 4.5 hours each week doing
additional work from home on top of a
9.5 hour work day. Thats a total of 52
hours a week.
Then theres the Organization
For Economic Co-Operation and
Developments annual global report of
hours worked per year in 34 member
countries, which showed in 2011 the
average American worker put in 1,797
hours in the year, about 34.5 hours per
week which might sound low, but it
put us ahead of Germany (1,330/25.6),
The Netherlands (1,336/25.7) and the
United Kingdom (1,611/31) to name
few.
And if you think youve been
working more now than in the past for
pretty much the same pay, youll nd
support in a 2010 Center for American
Progress report that said the typical
middle-income family put in an aver-
age of 11 hours more a week in 2006
than in 1979.
I warned the statistics get messy.
So grumble about the fact that some
county union heads whine at talk of
ending the 32.5 hour work week. You
probably have a fair gripe.
But I reserve my frustration for a
far more bizarre fact: The county has
10 collective bargaining agreements,
and a week runs 32.5 hours in one, 35
in another, 37.5 in a third and 40 in a
fourth. The contract for the assistant
district attorneys and public defenders
dont mention required hours other
than a minimum of 1,000 a year for
part-timers.
Heck, theres one union that has a
32.5-hour week for employees over
here and 35 hours for employees over
there, under the same contract.
You want to talk about wasting tax
dollars: How much extra do we pay
to keep track of such a hodgepodge
of requirements? How much easier is
it for fraud or errors to slip through
the cracks? How much more is wasted
negotiating 10 different contracts with
such widely different terms over some-
thing as seemingly simple as hours in a
workweek?
Union heads quoted in Sundays
article by Jennifer Learn-Andes made
valid arguments for caution in trying
to standardize the workweek while
keeping total wages steady. The theory
sounds logical: Increase hours for each
individual and reduce staff accord-
ingly, but a clear-eyed look at hard data
needs to be done to prove it will work.
That said, streamlining govern-
ment services is not an option, its an
essential. The majority of taxpayers
clearly no longer accept and many
can likely no longer afford perpetual
property tax increases with no sign
of true spending control. The unions
need to get out in front of the issue.
Stop giving reasons why a uniform
work week shouldnt happen and start
nding ways to make it reality.
Because even if one union can justify
a 32.5 hour workweek, no union can
justify the absurdity of half-a-dozen dif-
ferent denitions of that term.

YOUR OPINION: LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Advocate rebuts
water cure critics
Regarding the critical letter to the
editor of the work my wife Connie, the
water cure team and I did on the water
cure, it never would have been written
had the writer known the truth.
View the water cure TV news specials
from WYOU, WVIA, FOX TV and WJZ
Baltimore. Google water cure TV news
specials. All are on watercure2.org.
This should have been accepted long
ago, but because we are so addicted to
money we are blind to any solution to
high-prot problems.
Its disgusting that my wife and I spent
most of our lifes savings to get the proof
out when it took Iran only two weeks to
verify it and that got Dr. Batmanghelidj
released from prison. Our leaders have
ignored this free solution since 1983, but
Muslims now enjoy the solution while
Americans die from often easily cured
problems. Meanwhile, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and
the Journal of the American Medical
Association recognized the truth while
our government and other agencies
ignore it.
Do a Google search for Saudi Gazette,
salt a cure for 73 illnesses. Google New
York Times, Salt we misjudged you.
If doctors and prominent people
werent threatened with nancial sanc-
tions, everyone would know the truth.
The more money made on a problem,
the more impossible it is to get rid of the
problem. If it werent for memorization-
based education, students would be
better educated in half the time and be
thinkers, problem solvers and job creators
rather than memorizers who have had
their inherent genius, imagination and
creativity stolen from them. If science is
so great, why does every health problem
get worse and more protable? Could it
be to protect our $3 trillion-a-year health
care business?
Any experts care to debate our team?

tied together.
The Aug. 13 proposals
have the union seeking a
seven-year deal and the
district seeking a six-year
one.
The union proposed
raises according senior-
ity steps ranging from
1.83 percent to 3.02 per-
cent in each of the seven
years. The district offered
raises from 2.28 per-
cent to 2.86 percent for
ve years, except for the
2011-2012 school year, in
which a wage freeze was
proposed.
Despite the wage freeze
that year, each employee
would be given a $750
stipend, according to the
district.
The union also seeks
$500 for top step employ-
ees for 2010-2011 and
2011-2012.
In theory, teachers will
be paying for the freeze
until they retire, Dolman
said, because their sala-
ries for the rest of the
years will be lower.
The effect of the
freeze will effect teachers
for years, she said. A
person may work in the
district for 35 years. You
want them to take a true
freeze and pay for it the
next 35 years?
According to district
calculations, the union
wage plan costs $1.86
million or an increase of
20.42 percent, and the
districts plan costs $1.01
million or an increase of
11.51 percent.
Neither the district nor
the unions most recent
health care proposal con-
tains a premium share,
and both sides agreed
to a PPO through the
Northeast Pennsylvania
School District Health
Trust. They currently
have a more expensive
traditional Blue Cross
plan.

out cost are the sticking
points.
The union proposed
$100/$300 deductibles for
individual/family plans
and the district proposed
$250/$500. The district
wants a $5,000 payment
cap if an employee opts
out of the plan, but the
district wants to continue
receiving 50 percent of
the cost of the plan, which
amounts to about $12,500
for a family plan.
The union proposal
saves $70,000 and the
district proposal saves
$260,000, according to
the district.
The union warned of
the costs to the district
associated with a strike.
Members of the sup-
port staff will need to be
brought in on the make-
up days at the end of the
year. Those employees
are guaranteed to work a
specic number of days
in their contract and will
likely require overtime.
Holland and Dean said
they plan to schedule
some new dates to nego-
tiate.
Union members have
worked under the terms
of an expired contract for
over three years.
Under state law, teach-
ers may strike twice in
one school year.
The rst strike must end
in time for students to get
180 school days in by June
15 or by the last day of the
scheduled school year. If
the rst strike threatens
that deadline, both sides
must go into mandatory,
non-binding arbitration.
If a second strike is called
after arbitration, it must
end in time for students
to get 180 school days by
June 30.
Once again, a contin-
gent of teachers staged an
informational picket out-
side the meeting.
The Wyoming Area
Education Association
represents 160 teachers,
librarians and guidance
councilors. John Holland,
the regional director of
the Pennsylvania State
Education Association
and negotiator for the dis-
trict, said it all boils down
to wages.
We have agreements
on many items, but it
seems salary is the stick-
ing point, Holland said.
They want a wage freeze,
and were seeking a mod-
est increase.

Controller
According to the investi-
gation ndings, the bureaus
Gas Safety Division received
an email from a Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration representative
noting a person describing
himself as a UGI-PNG employ-
ee had alleged that a leak on
a high-pressure gas distribu-
tion line had been discovered
and subsequently repaired by
the company using improper
clamps on Saturday, May 12,
2012 , and that the clamps
used for the repair blew out on
Tuesday, May 15, and that the
gas company may be trying to
cover up the release.
The report goes on to spell
out that as a result of the Route
309 incident, the Gas Safety
Division conducted an expand-
ed investigation of UGI-PNG s
leak classication, surveys and
management systems and com-
pliance with state and federal
regulations.
A review of records over a
one-year period revealed that
UGI-PNG was not compliant
with federal/state regulations,
the Bureau of Investigations
and Enforcement found. The
report states UGI-PNG inade-
quately monitored and repaired
leaks, incorrectly classied
leaks, inadequately document-
ed and maintained documenta-
tion of leak survey and dispatch
data, and improperly used
and documented its use of the
Emergency One Call System.
Investigators ndings
In all, 12 violations or omis-
sions were found by investiga-
tors, most of which were viola-
tions of state and federal laws.
In addition to the $1 million
penalty UGI-PNG has agreed
to pay, regulators are also call-
ing for additional safety mea-
sures to be taken, including
the implementation of an auto-
mated, computer-based system
of recording and tracking the
results of leak surveys that
will be utilized by UGI-PNG s
employees and outside contrac-
tors performing leak surveys,
mapping, investigations and
repairs.
The history of violations was
taken into consideration when
determining the penalty, the
ndings show, noting that in
the past ve years, UGI-PNG
or its subsidiaries have been
involved in at least nine cases
arising from alleged gas safety
violations.
The substantial civil penalty
in this proceeding is warrant-
ed, the report states.
Utility response
In its chance to make a state-
ment led as part of the report,
staff attorney Kent D. Murphy
said UGI-PNG will take neces-
sary actions to ensure future
compliance. As part of that, the
company writes in the report
that it plans to hire a substan-
tial number of employees.
High on the list of priorities
are increased numbers of con-
struction inspectors, regulatory
compliance specialists, train-
ing personnel, and additional
workers trained in corrosion
prevention and other distri-
bution integrity management
functions, UGI-PNG includes
in the report.

Mitchell had withdrawn
his application for the con-

he did not want to close his

his business operational for
four months because he has
an assistant and can meet
with clients outside county
business hours.
He supports councils
plans to honor the home
rule charter directive to
appoint someone.
To keep the ofce vacant
until the end of the year I
think is unfair to the tax-
payers of the county who
expect an independent
voice, especially with the
upcoming establishment of
the countys 2014 budget
and tax rates for the future,
Mitchell said.
The temporary appointee
will be paid $1,406 every
two weeks through Jan. 3,
when the controller elect-
ed in November will take
ofce. Medico Olenginski is
running against Democrat
Michelle Bednar.
County Council agreed
to publicly interview the
applicants starting at 6 p.m.
Thursday in the council
meeting room at the court-
house. The applicants will
be interviewed separately
and kept out of the room
while other contenders are
being interviewed to be fair,
council decided.
Council members plan
to choose someone at their
Aug. 27 meeting.
James May, spokesman
for PennDOT, said the
project will be nearly
complete by November,
but one section
between Vince and Cedar
streets wont get a nal
coat of pavement until
early spring. PennDOT
originally had thought
the project would be n-
ished this year.
When we ripped up
the road we found pock-
ets where the concrete
under-base had dete-
riorated, May said. So
we decided to x the
concrete under-base and
a rough coat will be put
down before winter sets
in. Well have to come
back in the spring to pave
the nish coat.
May said there may be
a few cosmetic things
left to complete in the
spring as well, but he
said most of the project
will be done by early
November.
The delay wont be
as bad as some people
think, May said. If the
weather cooperates, well
get most of the project
done before the tempera-
tures drop.
May said some people
might wonder why the
project cant be nished
this year. He said that
when temperatures get
into the mid 40s and
lower, the paving will not
hold up as well as when
its applied during warm-
er temperatures.
Theres always a temp-
tation to rush to get a
project done, May said.
But our engineers feels
its better to get it done
right even if we have to
wait until spring.
He said the project
began in November 2010
with utility work that
needed to be done before
road construction began.
He said PennDOT has
been working on the proj-
ect for three years.
May and Taluto offered
updates on other major
road projects in Luzerne

Penn State quarterbacks Tyler Ferguson, left, and Christian Hackenberg throw during the
teams practice Friday in State College.
DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
A month ago, the situation seemed
very clear to Bill OBrien.
Spend the rst two weeks of camp
on his quarterback competition.
Spend the last two weeks getting his
starter ready for the opener against
Syracuse.
But Tyler Ferguson and Christian
Hackenberg continue to make it a
tough decision.
In a series of interviews Tuesday,
OBrien said he would likely pick a
starter by the end of the week for the
Aug. 31 opener against Syracuse. The
Penn State coach emphasized that he
expects both players will see the eld
at some point early on.
These are two of the best young
quarterbacks Ive ever coached,
OBrien said, rst in a radio interview
on ESPNs Mike & Mike, and then
again to reporters in State College. Ive
never had more fun coaching quarter-
backs than Ive had coaching these two
guys. Theyre bright guys. They work
at it, they compete in practice, theyve
got good demeanors, theyve got good
huddle command. Ive had a lot of fun
coaching both of these guys.
OBrien said that the starter will get
most of the practice reps next week and
the majority of the snaps in the game
against the Orange at MetLife Stadium
in East Rutherford, N.J.
But where OBrien was reluctant to
pull Matt McGloin last season in any
situation, the coach concedes that it
will be different in 2013 because he
doesnt have a veteran starter.
In this situation where you have
two young guys, I think its important
for each guy to continue to earn their
stripes and continue to gain the respect
of their teammates, OBrien said. Until
I feel really good about where thats at,
Id say both guys, its very close.
The guy thats the starter is going
to be the starter. But I think its
important when you have two young
guys, its a totally different situation
than last year. Whoever the backup is
is a young guy that needs to get his
feet wet a little bit. So, why not play
him a series here or there, just to get
him into a major college football game
and let him get his feet wet?
Infirmary report
Starting right tackle Adam Gress
continues to be hampered by a knee
injury, but OBrien expects him to
return to practice soon. Converted
tight end Garry Gilliam has run with
the rst team in his absence.

DUNCAN, Okla. With
the simplest of motives
breaking up the boredom
of an Oklahoma summer
three teenagers followed an
Australian collegiate baseball
player who was attending
school in the U.S. and killed
him with a shot to the back
for the fun of it, prosecutors
said Tuesday as they charged
two of the teens with murder.
As the boys appeared in an
Oklahoma courtroom, a 17-year-
old blurted out, I pulled the
trigger, then
wept after a
judge told him
that Tuesdays
hearing wasnt
the time or
place to sort
out the facts of
the case.
Prosecutor JasonHicks called
the boys thugs as he told
Stephens County Judge Jerry
Herberger how Christopher
Lane, 22, of Melbourne, died
on a city street.
Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and
James Francis Edwards, Jr.,
15, of Duncan were charged
with rst-degree murder and,
under Oklahoma law, will
be tried as adults. Michael
Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan
was accused of using a vehicle
in the discharge of a weapon
and accessory to rst-degree
murder after the fact. He is
considered a youthful offender
but will be tried in adult court.
Im appalled, Hicks said
after the hearing. This is not
supposed to happen in this
community.
In court, Hicks said Luna
was sitting in the rear seat of a
car when he pulled the trigger
on a .22 caliber revolver and
shot Lane once in the back.
Hicks said Jones was driving
the vehicle and Edwards was
in the passenger seat.
Edwards has had run-ins
with the law previously and
had been in court Friday, the
day of the killing, to sign doc-
uments related to his juvenile
probation.
I believe this man is a
threat to the community and
should not be let out, Hicks
said as he requested no bond
for Edwards. He thinks its all
a joke.

SAN FRANCISCO
Bostons Ryan Dempster was
suspended for ve games and
ned by Major League Baseball
for intentionally hitting
Yankees star
Alex Rodriguez
with a pitch
last weekend.
The penalty
was announced
Tuesday by
MLB senior
vice president
Joe Garagiola Jr., two days
after Dempster hit A-Rod in the
second inning at Fenway Park.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi
was ned for arguing with plate
umpire Brian ONora.
Dempsters ne was $2,500
and Girardis was $5,000,
people familiar with the dis-
cipline told The Associated
Press. They spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because the
amounts were not announced.
Dempster wont appeal the
decision.
I thought it was in the best
interest of my team to go ahead
and serve my suspension, he
said before Boston played the
Giants in San Francisco.
He was scheduled to pitch
Saturday at the Los Angeles
Dodgers, but now could be
pushed back to next Tuesdays
homestand opener against
Baltimore. He will throw a sim-
ulated game on Friday.
Earlier Tuesday, Girardi
insisted it would be open
season on Rodriguez if MLB
failed to suspend Dempster.
I think I made my feelings
pretty clear then, he said after
the suspension was announced.

Philadelphia Eagles Michael Vick passes during the first half Thursday against the Carolina Panthers in Philadelphia. Vick was named the Eagles
starter for their season opener on Tuesday.
DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA Michael Vick
took a pay cut and had to compete for
his job when he returned to the Eagles.
Part of the choice had to do with
the up-tempo offense mapped out by
new coach Chip Kelly.
I just thought, Vick said, this
was the best opportunity, the best t
for me.
Turns out, Vick was the best t for
Kelly.
With his rst chance to put his
stamp on Philadelphias offense, Kelly
named Vick the starting quarterback
on Tuesday, giving the veteran the
nod over Nick Foles after a sterling
effort in the preseason.
Hes our starter for the season, Kelly
said. Its not a one-game trial basis.

PITTSBURGH Mike
Tomlin is running out of
patience. Even worse, his team
is running out of running backs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
muddled through another list-
less preseason performance on
Monday night, losing to the
Washington Redskins 24-13
that did little to allay the coachs
concerns with three weeks to go
before the games start to count.
We need to get better in a
hurry, Tomlin said.
And get healthy too.
Rookie running back LeVeon
Bells professional debut lasted all
of four carries before he left with a
sprained right foot. Fullback Will
Johnson followed him to the side-
line with a rib injury while Baron
Batch sustained a stinger after
taking a particularly vicious hit.
The trio joined Isaac Redman,
who sat out as a precaution
after suffering a stinger in prac-
tice, on an increasingly crowded
training table.
While Tomlin expects Johnson,
Batch and Redman to return soon,
Bells status wont be determined
until later. The second-round draft
pick was scheduled to undergo
an MRI on the foot Tuesday and
a determination wont be made
until later in the week on his avail-
ability for Saturdays game against
Kansas City.
Whoever is on the eld will
be tasked with trying to build
some positive momentum head-

For The Times Leader
Shake It Cerry is the headlining trotter leading a
large group of 2-year-old lly trotters invading The
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs for four divisions of
the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes (PASS).
The daughter of Donato Hanover has been just sen-
sational in her three lifetime starts for trainer Jimmy
Takter. Her most recent start in the $321,700 Merri
Annabelle was indeed the most impressive, as she
blasted to the lead off the wing and never looked back,
scoring in a sensational 1:53.3. She indeed has looked
just devastating, and I expect her to extend that perfect
record in tonights ninth race.

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins signed forward Pierre-
Luc Letourneau-Leblond to an
American Hockey League con-
tract Tuesday.
A seven-year veteran from
Levis, Que., Letourneau-
Leblond skated with the Norfolk
Admirals during the 2012-13
season, recording three goals,
ve assists and 98 penalty min-
utes in 33 games.
Letourneau-Leblond, 28,
has appeared in 275 AHL con-
tests between time spent with
Abbotsford, Albany, Lowell and
Norfolk, compiling 47 points
(21g-26a) and 1,061 PIM.
Originally drafted by New
Jersey in the seventh round
(216th overall) of the 2004
NHL Entry Draft, Letourneau-
Leblond played in 37 NHL
games from 2008-11 as a mem-
ber of the Devils. He has also
appeared in three matches with
the Calgary Flames.
Pens Bylsma out of jury duty
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma
was excused from jury duty in
two separate trials because of
concerns he might miss a Team
USA Hockey Camp scheduled
this weekend in Washington,
D.C.
The Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette reports Bylsma, who
will coach Team USA at the
Winter Olympics in Sochi
in February, was summoned
for jury duty Monday in
Allegheny County. Pittsburgh
is the countys seat.
Bylsma was considered for
duty in a homicide trial and
a drug case, but was excused
over concerns those trials
could last more than a couple
of days.
Bylsma tells the newspaper
he was very interested in being
part of the process of jury selec-
tion but also says the week-
end camp will be the only time
he can see his Team USA play-
ers before February.
Flyers fans watch paint dry
Ever watch a movie thats
so bad its good? The Flyers
attempt to drum up excitement
for their upcoming season is
exactly like that.
Thanks to a diligent social
media campaign, reportedly
more than 100 people showed
up at the Wells Fargo Center
on Monday morning to par-
ticipate in an event that invites
comparisons to some of minor
league baseballs most absurd
promotions. In this case, fans
and their families gathered to
help the club set a Guinness
World Record for the most
people to simultaneously watch
paint dry.
While the world-record
aspect of the promotion is iffy
at best it doesnt appear
there is a standing record
for people watching paint dry,
so presumably one person
showing up would have created
a record fans seemed to gen-
uinely enjoy the opportunity to
get into the hockey spirit.
One lucky fan even won a con-
test that earned him the privi-
lege of painting the goal crease.

Washington, Panama win LLWS elimination games
JOHNWAWROW
APSportsWriter
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT
A six-run third inning proved just
enough for Sammamish, Wash.,
to stay in contention at the Little
League World Series.
Austin Oh drove in the nal two
runs of the rally and the Northwest
champions hung on for 6-5 win
over Nashville, Tenn., in an elimi-
nation game Tuesday night.
Aguadulce, Panama, avoided
elimination with far more air,
scoring four times with two outs in
the bottom of the sixth to pull out
an 8-7 win over Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Panamas winning run came home
when Jose Gonzalez was struck by
a pitch with the bases loaded.
In knocking off Taiwan, Panama
(3-1) advances to face one of the
two other remaining International
Division teams Tijuana,
Mexico, or Tokyo on Thursday.
Sammamish (3-1) moves on to
a matchup Thursday against one
of the two other teams remaining
in the U.S. bracket Chula Vista,
Calif., and Westport, Conn.
Ohs single to center drove
in Will Armbruester and then
Jack Matheson, who scored on
an errant throw by center elder
Robert Hassell.
Armbruester, Jack Carper
and Dalton Chandler each had
RBI singles during the rally that
put Sammamish ahead 6-2. The
Washington team had six of its
eight hits in the third inning and
the rally came after the teams rst
six batters were struck out by Trae
McLemore.
Ben Pickman had two hits,
including a solo home run in the
fth that rounded out Nashvilles
scoring.
In the International bracket
elimination game, getting hit
in the foot never felt so good to
Gonzalez.
As the inelder limped his way
toward rst base, Edgardo Rosales
was celebrating on his way home
from third with the decisive run
for Panama, which overcame a 7-4
decit.
The only thing I was think-
ing was to try to get on base
one way or another, Gonzalez
said through interpreter Gilbert
Monell. And after being hit by the
pitch I felt very happy.
Jordan Agrazal had three RBIs,
including a two-run single in the
sixth. And Rosales would not have
been in a position to score had he
not reached base because of a two-
out error by Yeh Tung-Jua, who
bobbled a grounder to third.
It was a difcult game. It was
important that we won, man-
ager Luis Gonzalez said through
Monell. I congratulate all the kids
on the other team for their effort.
Our team never gave up, and that
made us get the victory.
For Taiwan, it was a shock-
ing turn of events for the tour-
naments youngest team, which
includes ve 11-year-olds the
most of any squad. Several Taiwan
players, including catcher Lee
Chen-Hsun, broke down in tears
following the game.
Panama catcher Juan Crisp and
several teammates went over to
console their opponents.
I saw a couple of players on
their team crying, and even a
couple on our team, manager
Gonzalez said. It was a great
game. Theyre kids. You can
expect that.
Pitching propels RailRiders past IronPigs
Fromstaf, wire reports
LEHIGH VALLEY
After giving up eight runs
a day earlier, the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre pitching staff
cooled Lehigh Valleys
bats, allowing no extra-
base hits as the RailRiders
defeated the IronPigs 3-1
on Tuesday at Coca-Cola

on a throw to third off a
single to right eld.
The error allowed
the advancing Cesar
Hernandez to score
and give Lehigh
Valley a 1-0 advan-
tage.
Scranton/Wilkes
starting pitcher
Chase Whitley
settled in after the
unearned run, allow-
ing just one hit
over the next three
innings. Whitley
earned the win striking
out four in ve innings of
work.
In the top of the
fth, the RailRiders
offense started to
click. Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre com-
piled four hits,
including run-
scoring singles
by Mustelier and
Alberto Gonzalez to
give the RailRiders a
2-1 lead.
The RailRiders
added an insurance
run in the top of the sixth
when Randy Ruiz laced
an RBI-double to left eld
to increase the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre lead to 3-1.
Dellin Betances replaced
Whitley in the bottom of
the sixth, allowing just
one hit and no runs while
striking out four in three
innings of work.
Jim Miller shut the door
on the IronPigs, allowing
no hits and securing his
fth save of the season.

McClatchy News Service
Its the time of the year when
fantasy football drafts rule the week-
ends.
Many leagues will be won on draft
day, but just as many, maybe more,
will be won by being a savvy fantasy
owner throughout the season.
Heres 10 tips to help you this
season:
1. Draft a top-notch running
back immediately: Youve heard
this song and dance for years now,
but take notice this season. The
quarterback and receiver position
are big-time deep, and with dura-
bility of running backs always a
concern, owning a back with top-
10 value is a must. You dont want
Steven Jackson or DeMarco Murray
as your No. 1 RB.
2. Wait on quarterbacks, but
not too long: If your league con-
sists of 12 teams, its conceivable
every owner in your league would
be ne at QB if the top 12 went, in
no particular order, like this: Aaron
Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Drew
Brees, Tom Brady, Cam Newton,
Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, Cam
Newton, Andrew Luck, Russell
Wilson, Colin Kaepernick and Tony
Romo. Thats a solid group of fan-
tasy QBs.
3. Have some humility: If youre
too proud to admit you messed up
on draft day, thats on you. Dont
wait on your under-performing
players to turn the fantasy season
around. Own up to your mistakes,
then explore all avenues to improve
your team.
4. Always look to trade: You will
be surprised by what trades fantasy
owners are willing to pull the trig-
ger on. The key: Youll never know
unless you inquire about them.
5. Dont get emotionally
involved: If you insist on drafting a
Browns player just to have a Browns
player on your roster, thats ne.
That line of thinking rarely works
in fantasy. Ultimately, its your team
and how you construct it is up to
you. The goal in fantasy is to win
money, so unless one of your favor-
ite player(s) is a fantasy star, resist
the temptation. Especially if hes a
kicker.
6. Work the waiver wire: Three
players I acquired after draft day
last season: Redskins running back
Alfred Morris, Packers receiver
Randall Cobb and Raiders tight end
Brandy Myers. If youre not aware
of what players are available, nine
times out of 10 you wont be in the
running for league cash.
7. Dont overvalue your own
players: Theres nothing more frus-
trating in fantasy football than deal-
ing with an owner who wont budge
on a fair trade offer or insists on
more in return. You knowwho those
fantasy owners are, so just move on
to the next.
8. Dont give up on your sea-
son: Afewseasons ago, I sat 1-6 but
rallied to a 5-1 nish and just missed
out on the playoffs. Last year, I
was 1-4, made a bevy of trades, n-
ished 7-6 in the regular season and
advanced to the seminal round. It
doesnt matter if its pretty. The goal
is to make your playoffs.
9. Never pick a defense until
the second-to-last round: Good
luck trying to gure which teams
defense/special teams will be No. 1
this season. Take a yer on a run-
ning back or wide receiver in the
mid-rounds and wait.
10. Never pick a kicker until
the last round: If you think youre
pulling a fast one on your fantasy
cohorts by drafting last years top
scoring kicker in the mid-rounds,
youre not.
There wasnt a lot of
suspense with Kellys
decision, which was
announced after practice
on Tuesday, and after the
coach met with both play-
ers. About the only sur-
prise was the timing
Kelly had hinted he might
not name a starter until
closer to the opener. But
Kelly, in his rst season
after coaching at Oregon,
ended the mystery and
will have Vick taking the
snaps when Philadelphia
opens the regular season
at Washington Sept. 9.
Im not surprised at
all, Vick said. I told
him, Thank you, I appre-
ciate it and I wont let you
down.
Vick has been solid in
two preseason games, and
Foles, in his second sea-
son with the Eagles, has
struggled to grasp Kellys
multifaceted offense. Vick
has thrown for 199 yards
this preseason and will
take a 113.2 quarterback
rating into Fridays game
at Jacksonville (0-2).
Foles has been sacked
six times in two games,
and has a quarterback rat-
ing of 65.5, after showing
ashes as a rookie last
season while Vick was
injured. Vick played in
just 10 games last season,
while Foles topped 340
yards twice as a rookie.
The Eagles (1-1) are
coming off a 4-12 season,
coach Andys Reids last,
and havent made the
playoffs since they won
the NFC East at the end
of the 2010 season.
We had a good amount
of tape, a good amount
of us seeing them on the
eld, Kelly said. And
seeing them in a lot of
different situations, and
wanted to put a guy in
place, if we could, in
enough time to get us to
prepare the season.
Kelly has only shown
ashes of his up-tempo
offense in the rst two
preseason games and
defenses already seem
tired and confused while
the Eagles are moving
the ball with ease. The
rst-team offense led by
Vick and Foles has four
touchdowns on eight-plus
possessions in two games.
One drive ended with an
end-zone interception and
two others ended with
fumbles.
Behind Foles will be
Matt Barkley, a rookie
from Southern Cal.
The competitor in me,
you always want to be
the one on the eld play-
ing, Barkley said. At the
same time, I love Mike.
Weve gone about it the
right way. Weve kept our
great friendship and weve
pushed each other. Im
proud of him. Im going
to do anything I can to
help him become the best
quarterback possible.
Im excited for him.
Nothing changes in my
preparation. Im going to
prepare the same way.
Vick had a breakout
year under Reid in 2010,
leading the Eagles to the
division title, winning
The Associated Press
Comeback Player of the
Year award and starting
in the Pro Bowl. But hes
battled injuries and incon-
sistency the last two years.
Vick could earn up to
$10 million in 2013 if he
meets all performance
incentives. He was slated
to earn about $16 million
this season, including a
$3 million roster bonus.

be found on a night the Steelers
committed eight penalties,
turned it over three times and
failed reach the end zone until
the starters were standing on the
sideline in baseball caps.
I would say we did a good job
of messing it up on our own,
offensive tackle Mike Adams said.
Not exactly the step forward
Tomlin was looking for follow-
ing a nondescript loss to the New
York Giants in the preseason
opener. He stressed the need to
cut down on penalties only to see
Pittsburgh draw95 yards in ags.
Tomlin said hell look at having
NFL ofcials visit practice this
week to help his team get its act
together.
Poor execution, Tomlin
said. I just told the guys were
not going to provide lip service.
Were going to practice how we
intend to play.
Quarterback Ben Roethlis-
berger completed 5 of 6 passes
but his lone incompletion was an
interception Washingtons Ryan
Kerrigan returned for a touch-
down. Roethlisberger led the
Steelers on a lengthy drive span-
ning the rst and second quarters
only to have it result in a eld
goal after penalties to Adams and
guard David DeCastro.
Another drive later in the
rst half ended with a eld goal
when the offense again bogged
down inside the Washington 20.
Through two games the Steelers
and second string offense has yet
to produce a touchdown.
Running back Jonathan Dwyer
did his best to take advantage
of the opportunity provided by
the injury to Bell, running for
68 yards on 14 carries. He also,
however, fumbled in the second
quarter, a miscue that led to a
Washington touchdown.
Dwyers miscue was one of
three turnovers committed by
Pittsburghs starters against a
defense that isnt exactly lights
out. Yet Washington looked
dominant at times as it con-
stantly brought pressure against
Roethlisberger or backup Bruce
Gradkowski. Rarely did either
quarterback appear comfortable.
Pittsburghs defensedidnt have
to deal with injured Washington
star Robert Grifn III yet had
a bit of trouble stopping third-
stringer Rex Grossman, who
completed 10 of 16 passes for
133 yards and a score. DaMon
Cromartie-Smith intercepted
Grossman early in the third quar-
ter and rookie Jarvis Jones found
his way around a turnover for the
second straight game when he
forced Grossman to fumble in the
second quarter to end a scoring
threat.
Too much Steelers beating
ourselves, safety Ryan Clark
said Even on the two big plays
by the offense while we were in,
we had guys who we didnt blitz
and guys who were supposed to
be in a blitz that coach (Dick)
LeBeau called. You cant do that.
We wont in football games play-
ing that way.
Time to get your player lists together

Some folks dont believe Atlanta Falcons running back Steven Jackson is a quality
pick for this upcoming fantasy football season.
Weeden named Browns
starting quarterback
TOMWITHERS
AP Sports Writer
BEREA, OhioBrandon
Weeden had a lot to prove.
Before his second NFL sea-
son began, he had to con-
vince some teammates, a
newcoaching staff and front
ofce and many skeptical
Cleveland fans he deserved
to start.
He desperately wanted
to be their quarterback, the
guy.
On Tuesday, Weedens
efforts were rewarded.
Browns coach Rob
Chudzinski named Weeden
his starter, an announce-
ment that erased any uncer-
tainty and there wasnt
much that the second-
year QB would be behind
center for the Sept. 8 sea-
son opener against Miami.
Weeden has spent the past
few months doing every-
thing he possibly could to
win the job, and he did
fair and square.
Brandon has earned
this, Chudzinski said, and
thats extremely important
to me that he did. He has
gained my complete trust.
He has gained his team-
mates complete trust and
this organizations trust.
Were all behind him and
well all be behind him to
support him.
Weeden, who survived a
bumpy rookie season, took
the news that he had beaten
out veteran Jason Campbell
in typical stride.
Unlike a year ago, when
he was essentially anointed
as Clevelands No. 1 from
the moment he was select-
ed in the rst round of the
draft, Weeden had to ght
for this. He immersed him-
self in the playbook to learn
the Browns newsystemand
performed at a high level
during spring practices and
summer training camp.
If there was any doubt,
Weeden removed by com-
pleting 18 of 25 passes for
229 yards with three touch-
downs and no interceptions
in two preseason games.
Case closed.
Ive taken the steps that
I needed to take to better
myself, Weeden said. But
I have to keep continuing
to work, keep continuing to
do the things that Ive done
all along up until this point
to become that player that I
want to be. Imnot satised.
I feel like I have a lot of work
to do, and thats kind of my
mindset moving forward.

Gonzalez rejoins Falcons after time spent with son
PAUL NEWBERRY
AP Sports Writer
FLOWERY BRANCH,
Ga. While the Atlanta
Falcons hustled their way
through a drill Tuesday,
Tony Gonzalez grabbed a
clipboard from an assis-
tant coach, a bit perplexed
about what was going on.
Yep, even after 17 sea-
sons in the NFL, he need-
ed a bit of a refresher.
Not surprising, though,
given he hasnt been
around a whole lot during
the preseason.
Of course Im a little
rusty, Gonzalez conced-
ed after a more than two-
hour practice. Theres
nothing like playing the
games to get you ready.
The 37-year-old tight
end will nally play in
his rst preseason game
Saturday night, when
the Falcons (0-2) visit
Tennessee to take on
the Titans (0-2). He was
excused for three full
weeks to spend extra time
with his family and watch
his 12-year-old son, Nikko,
get started on his football
career.
It was all part of a deal
Gonzalez struck with
team ofcials in exchange
for putting off retirement
for one more year.
Everybody is bust-
ing his chops a little bit,
quarterback Matt Ryan
said. Thats the nature of
the locker room. But its
all in good humor.
Coach Mike Smith has
always been willing to let
players especially the
veterans skip practices
if they need to address per-
sonal issues. But hes never
come close to allowing a
three-week break in the
middle of training camp.
For a player of
Gonzalezs stature, how-
ever, the coach was will-
ing to make an exception.
I dont think its an
issue, Smith said. I dont
think it will ever become
an issue.
Gonzalez returned to
the Falcons last weekend,
and Tuesdays workout
was only the fourth day of
practice hes taken part in
since camp began on July
25.
He insisted its not a big
deal. Gonzalez has always
been passionate about his
tness, so there was no
chance of him not report-
ing back in top condition.
To stay in some sem-
blance of football shape,
he worked out with a local
high school team. To keep
up with what the offense
was doing, he watched
videos of practice each
night on his iPad.
Its the same ver-
biage. The offense hasnt
changed. Its the same
thing Ive been doing for
ve years, said Gonzalez,
referring to his time
with thae Falcons. Sure,
theres a few little tweaks,
some new things here and
there. But when you
come back, its like riding
a bike.
Gonzalez never intend-
ed to come back for a 17th
season, saying through-
out 2012 he was 95 per-
cent sure it would be his
nal year. Even after the
Falcons came up 10 yards
short of the Super Bowl,
losing to San Francisco in
a thrilling NFC champion-
ship game, the future Hall
of Famer sounded like his
career was over.
But, after spending a
few weeks reecting on
how close he came to a
title, and knowing the
high-powered Falcons had
a chance to make another
deep run in the playoffs,
Gonzalez began to recon-
sider. When Nikko gave
his blessing for dad to play
another season, Gonzalez
couldnt resist the chance
to take one more shot at
his rst championship.
The Falcons made it
easy, basically allowing
a very grateful Gonzalez
to set his own terms for
how much time he would
spend at training camp.
That means everything
to me, he said.

Broncos Miller to serve six-game suspension
The Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
Broncos linebacker Von Miller
received a six-game suspension
under the NFLs substance-abuse
policy Tuesday, taking away the
best defensive player from a
team many expect to make a run
at the Super Bowl.
The league wanted a longer
penalty for the third-year line-
backer, but the sides agreed to
less than half the season, a per-
son familiar with the negotia-
tions between the linebacker and
the NFL told The Associated
Press.
The person who spoke to the
AP did not want to be identied
because details about the nego-
tiations were not public.
Broncos executive vice presi-
dent John Elway said the team
was frustrated with what hap-
pened and, I think, disappoint-
ed in Von.
Well live with that decision,
Elway said. What Id like to do
is try to do everything we can to
prevent any other situations.
According to the NFL, Miller
is eligible to play and practice
through the last two preseason
games. His suspension, without
pay, will begin Aug. 31, and will
cost him more than $800,000
of the nearly $2.3 million hes
scheduled to make this season.
Hell be allowed at the team
facility, but not at practice dur-
ing the suspension. He can
return to the eld Oct. 14, the
day after Denvers home game
against Jacksonville, and will be
eligible for an Oct. 20 contest at
the Indianapolis Colts.
After being notied of the
decision, Miller released a state-
ment saying, although my sus-
pension doesnt result from a
positive test, there is no excuse
for my violations of the rules.
I made mistakes and my
suspension has hurt my team,
Broncos fans, and myself, he
said. I am especially sorry for
the effect of my bad decisions on
others. I will not make the same
mistakes about adhering to the
policy in the future.
The NFL has two drug policies
one that covers use of per-
formance-enhancing substances
and the Policy and Program
for Substances of Abuse that
applied to Millers case.
There are ways to violate the
drug policy without necessarily
testing positive. They include
missing a test, refusing to test,
tampering with tests or giving a
diluted urine sample.
The Broncos had been oper-
ating throughout the preseason
as if Miller would be with them
for their regular-season opener
Sept. 5.
I made mistakes and my suspension has hurt my team,
Broncos fans, and myself.

that Jones told ofcers

Lane played at East
Central University in Ada,
85 miles east of Duncan,
and had been visiting
Harper and her parents
after he and his girlfriend
returned to the U.S. from
Australia about a week
ago.
His old team, Essendon,
scheduled a memorial
game for Sunday to raise
funds for Lanes parents
as they worked to have
their boys remains sent

At Essendon Catholic
School, Lane will
be remembered at a
November Mass in which
all former students who
have died are mourned
and celebrated, former
school captain David
Ireland told The Age
newspaper in Melbourne.
He was the sort of guy
at school who everyone
knew and knew quite
well, Ireland said of
Lane. He loved his footy
(Australian football) and
his sport and spent a lot
of time with mates.
Melbournes Herald Sun
newspaper reported that
roses and a baseball were
placed Monday on the
home plate where Lane
played as a youth with
the message, A wonder-
ful young man taken too
soon. Why?
Former deputy prime
minister Tim Fischer criti-
cized the National Rie
Association and asked
Australians to avoid the
U.S. as a way to force its
Congress to act on gun
control.
Tourists thinking of
going to the USA should
think twice, Fischer told
the Herald Sun.

Jorge De La Rosa (13-6) pitched into

lead.

Angeles Dodgers beat the Miami
Marlins.
Puig was held out of the starting
lineup after going hitless in his past 11
at-bats.
He also drew a fine when he arrived
late for pregame drills, raising more
questions about the 22-year-olds matu-
rity and comportment.

one pitch to break a 4-all tie.
Diamondbacks 5, Reds 2

Ichiro nears milestone
as Yankees sweepJays
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Jayson Nix hit a tying
homer in the seventh inning and a game-
ending single in the ninth, lifting the
Yankees to their second comeback victory
over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, 3-2
in the nightcap for a doubleheader sweep.
In the opener, Robinson Cano and Chris
Stewart each hit three-run homers to rally
the Yankees from four runs down to beat
the Blue Jays 8-4. Toronto lost slugger
Jose Bautista to a sore hip early in the
game. Cano had an RBI single in the sec-
ond game and had six hits and ve RBIs
for New York in the two games.
Ichiro Suzuki singled and doubled in
the rst game, leaving him one shy of
4,000 combined hits during his careers in
Japan and the major leagues.
With fans standing and chanting Ichi-
ro! in the eighth, he grounded out. Suzuki
pinch ran in the second game and scored
the winning run.
With a full moon hanging over the right
eld rafters, Darren Oliver (3-4) walked
Mark Reynolds to start the ninth.
Suzuki pinch ran and advanced on
Eduardo Nunezs sacrice bunt. Suzuki
stole third before scoring on Nixs line
drive to left that gave the Yankees their
eighth win in 11 games.
Mariano Rivera (4-2) worked out of a
two-on jam in the top of the ninth for the
win. Anthony Gose failed to get down a
sacrice bunt in the top of the ninth.
The Blue Jays extended their record
with an 11th straight loss in New York.
Mark Buehrle was on track to end an
eight-decision losing streak to New York
but he gave up a tying homer in the sev-
enth to Nix, the inelders rst homer
since June 25th.
Nix was the Yankees second unlikely
long ball hitter of the day. Stewart con-
nected off Neil Wagner (2-4) in the sixth
inning for his rst homer since May 15
thats 173 homerless at-bats to put New
York ahead in the opener.
Just 1-10 in his career against the
Yankees, the left-hander shut down a reju-
venated lineup by allowing two runs and
six hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out
Alex Rodriguez all three times he faced
him.
Rajai Davis had a two-run double in the
rst game, and was responsible for the
Blue Jays rst two runs in Game 2. He
scored on Phil Hughes wild pitch in the
rst inning and had a sacrice y in the
fth inning to put Toronto up 2-1.
In the opener, Cano got his 200th career
home run off Esmil Rogers in the third and
had four hits. His drive in the third pulled
New York to 4-3 after Toronto went up
4-0 in the second against Ivan Nova (7-4).
Cano added an RBI double in the seventh.
Rays 7, Orioles 4
BALTIMORE Alex Cobb took a two-
hitter into the seventh inning, Matt Joyce
drove in three runs and the Tampa Bay
Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles for their
sixth win in seven games.
Twins 6, Tigers 3
DETROIT Justin Morneau had a
season high four hits, including a two-
run homer and a two-run double, and

NEW YORK The farm-to-table
movement has become farm to facial
for some in the spa industry, with more
locations offering fresh herbs and ow-
ers from their own gardens for treat-
ments.
And guys are being treated to pam-
pering tweaked just for them as the
number of men turning up at spas
increases, according to a new survey
by PricewaterhouseCoopers for the
International Spa Association.
Overall, the industry has made gains in
revenue, visits and locations, according
to the survey, released at the spa groups
Aug. 16 trade show.
A look at whats new and interesting in
the spa industry:
PLANTS ANDFLOWERS
Spas have long made use of local ingre-
dients. Now, some are clipping and crush-
ing Mother Natures booty right from the
ground.
The Omni Mount Washington Resort
in New Hampshires White Mountains
allows guests to stroll the grounds and
choose their own plants as part of the
full body, 75-minute Herbal Garden
Treatment for $175.
Travaasa Austin in Texas has a working
farmfromwhich to pluck spa ingredients.
THE MEN
The spa association has tracked male
guests for about 10 years, said Lynne
McNees, the groups president. Their
ranks had been steady, between 30 and 33
percent, but rose last year to 47 percent,
according to the latest survey.
A lot of that has to do with spas being
much more open and catering to men,
changing the services menu a little bit,
McNees said. Spas have become much
more men-friendly.
In Hawaii, Four Seasons Resort Maui
at Wailea offers the Alpha Male, a
50-minute facial for $175 with green tea
and green algae options.
ANIMAL FRIENDS
Along with ora and fresh produce for
spa treatments and culinary experiences
at resorts are farmencounters with animal
friends. Keith Moon, the head cowboy and
agriculture overseer at Travaasa Austin,
and his staff teach chicken-keeping at the
coop that supplies the resorts restaurant
with eggs. Theres also a two-hour horse
encounter free with a spa day pass. Moon
and his cowboy team use horses to help
guests learn more about themselves.
You dont ride the horse. Its about
how your interactions with the animal
can tell you about your nonverbal com-
munication and body language, he said.
The horse picks up on your intentions. If
youre nervous and frustrated hes going
to mirror that.
Sound highfalutin? Hop on one of the
resorts Fender Blenders instead. Its a
stationary bicycle that powers a juicer
attached at the handlebars. Pick your own
ingredients and have at it.
BY THE NUMBERS
The International Spa Associations
survey of more than 1,400 spas of all
types in the U.S. showed a 4.7 percent
increase in revenue last year at $14 bil-
lion. Thats up from $13.4 billion in 2011.
Spa visits in the same time period were
up 2.8 percent, to 160 million from 156
million. Locations were up slightly, to
19,960 from 19,850. Revenue per visit
went to $87 from $86 the year before.

Health coverage
outpaces wages
Workers saw a modest rise in the aver-
age cost of employer-sponsored health
insurance this year, but theyre probably
not overwhelmed with relief.
Coverage costs still are climbing faster
than wages. That means, in many cases,
that a bigger portion of the average pay-
check is sliced off for insurance instead
of being deposited into employee bank
accounts.
Annual premiums for employer-spon-
sored family coverage climbed nearly
4 percent this year to top $16,000 for
the rst time, according to a survey by
the Kaiser Family Foundation released
Tuesday.
The cost of single coverage rose almost
5 percent. Those are smaller increases
than the spikes of 9 percent for family
coverage and 8 percent for single record-
ed in 2011.
Penney poised
for better days?
J.C. Penney Co. on Tuesday reported
its sixth consecutive quarter of big losses
and steep revenue drops as it continued
to face challenges related to a botched
turnaround plan spearheaded by its oust-
ed CEO Ron Johnson.
But investors sent Penney shares up
six percent to nearly $14 after having
pushed the stock down nearly 70 percent
in the last 18 months in an expression
of condence that returning CEO Mike
Ullman has started to stabilize the busi-
ness.
The latest report offered some encour-
aging signs that the move is beginning
to pay off: Revenue improved from
month-to-month during the quarter, and
the decline in Penneys online business
slowed signicantly in part due to the
companys move to veer from Johnsons
strategy and go back to operating its
online businesses with its physical stores.

Market sees August cooldown
KEN SWEET
AP Markets Writer
NEW YORK Its been a chilly
August for the stock market.
At the start of the month, the Dow
Jones industrial average and Standard &
Poors 500 index hit all-time highs. Now
the market is down 4 percent from its
peak, and August is on track to be the
Dows worst month since May 2012.
On Tuesday, the Dow posted its fth
straight day of losses, the rst time thats
happened this year. While the S&P 500
and Nasdaq composite index did rise
modestly, it was rst time in four days
those indices have seen green.
The stock market slide in the last cou-
ple of weeks reects a shift in investor
strategy that began in the bond market
and spilled into stocks. The spillover
then mixed with lingering concerns
about the U.S. economy, leading to the
last several weeks of volatility, market
observers say.
The bond market is the catalyst for
this selloff, says Quincy Krosby, market
strategist with Prudential Financial.
While most of the selloff occurred in
the last couple weeks, it had its origins
months ago.
Up until early June, bond funds had
been one of Wall Streets more popu-
lar investments particularly among
average investors. More than $1.2 tril-
lion was socked away into bond mutual
funds and bond exchange-traded funds
between 2009 and 2012, according to
TrimTabs.
People were just throwing money at
bonds, even at low rates, says Julius
Ridgway, an investment advisor with
Mississippi-based rm Medley &
Brown.
That was before Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central
bank could pull back on its $85 billion-
a-month bond-purchase program, which
was designed to keep bond yields low.
Bernanke made bond investors ner-
vous in mid-June by saying that the Fed,
one of the bond markets biggest custom-
ers in the last several years, may scale
back its buying. Investors pulled more
than $65.8 billion out of bond funds in
June, according to mutual fund research
rm Lipper, the largest amount ever
on a cash basis and the second largest
outow in percentage terms since the
nancial crisis in 2008. Investors pulled
an additional $22.5 out of bond funds in
July, according to Lipper.
As the 10-year yield has inched high-
er, the selling has led to more selling,
Krosby said.

NewTiVo unit more than just a DVR
ANICK JESDANUN
APTechnology Writer
NEW YORK TiVo Inc. wants to
give television viewers more control over
what they watch on traditional channels
and over the Internet as the pioneer of
digital video recorders unveils its fth-
generation devices.
The new devices face more competi-
tion than TiVos did when they debuted in
1999. Cable and satellite TV companies
are improving their own DVR offerings,
while stand-alone devices such as Roku,
Apple TV and Googles Chromecast seek
to simplify Internet streaming on big-
screen TVs. Meanwhile, game consoles
and smartphones now come with apps to
do much of what TiVo does. An Internet
startup called Aereo offers an Internet-
based DVR for broadcast channels.
With its new Roamio DVR, TiVo is
counting on the notion that avid televi-
sion viewers prefer one device to do it all.
What TiVo is doing here is press-
ing home their advantage. That is, they
know TV, said Colin Dixon, chief ana-
lyst at nScreen Media, a research rm in
Sunnyvale, Calif. What they are doing
here is actually very difcult for anybody
else.
Dixon said many casual television
viewers will be ne with generic offer-
ings from their cable company, but TiVos
appeal is with high-end consumers who
are already paying the most for television
packages and Internet video services.
The Roamio went on sale Tuesday and
marks the companys rst major update
in three years.
Like previous TiVos and other DVRs,
the Roamio supports basic functions such
as the ability to pause and rewind live
TV. TiVos also let you watch video from
Netix, Hulu and other Internet services
on regular TVs, as long as you have sub-
scriptions with them. (Satellite TV isnt
supported on any of the devices. AT&TS
U-verse wont work either, but Verizons
FiOS will.)
The new TiVos give you more options
for nding shows to watch. The empha-
sis in the past was on nding programs
to record, whether by title, actor, direc-
tor, genre or keyword. The Roamio offers
recommendations on whats currently on,
based in part of what other TiVo viewers
are watching and have watched in that
time slot in the past. The new devices
also let you narrow what you see in chan-
nel-by-channel listings to just movies,
sports or kids shows.
Some of the new DVRs will also come
with the ability to watch live and record-
ed shows on iPhones and iPads. Before,
a $130 device called TiVo Stream was
needed. Streaming is initially limited to
devices on the home Wi-Fi network. This
fall, out-of-home viewing will be avail-
able through other Wi-Fi networks, such
as at work, hotels and coffee shops. An
Android app also is coming by early next
year.

TASTE
Heaven in a can
Try a moist, healthy salmon cake
Like most Americans of
a certain age, I ate canned
tuna all the time when I
was growing up. But when
someone first suggested
that I try canned salmon?
Well, I was horrified.
Why would I even bother
with canned salmon when
fresh salmon is readily
available? But Pacific wild
salmon, the most sustain-
able choice, turns out to
be very seasonal. And then
very pricey when it is avail-
able. So, I decided to give
canned salmon a whirl,
rationalizing that most
canned salmon is of the
wild variety anyway.
Well, it turns out that
canned salmon is delicious,
and perfectly suited to swap
in for canned tuna in any of
the recipes I love. The only
downside is that it can be
dry. So for this recipe for
fish cakes I had to dream
up the ingredients required
to make the cakes moist
and still healthy.
I started with sauteed
onion, letting it get a little
caramelized to add extra
flavor. Then I added low-fat
mayonnaise, a good mois-
turizer and not bad tast-
ing, especially if you cut
its sweetness with a little
vinegar. To bind the cakes
I used crushed sesame rice
crackers. These little gems
are low in calories; 20 of
them weigh in at 110 calo-
ries. I often reach for them
during that late afternoon
hour when Im otherwise
ready to eat my hand.
Heat-wise, I went with
wasabi, which glorifies fish.
At the supermarket, youll
find two main varieties of
wasabi: the powdered kind,
which is shelf-stable (you
just add water) and wasabi
in a tube, which must be
refrigerated after being
opened. Either will work
nicely in this recipe. And
if you cant find wasabi in
your store, add some bot-
tled horseradish instead.
These salmon cakes are
topped off with cucumber
pickles flavored with rice
vinegar and fresh ginger.
The pickle liquid also helps
to bind the cakes, while the
crunch of the cucumber slic-
es provides a pleasing con-
trast to the cakes tender
texture. These little pickles
are so quick and easy to
make youre done in 10
minutes I dont know
why I dont make them
more often.

Chef John Hudak created this BarbecuedPork
Duet for Sue Rismondo, co-owner of
Vanderlyns Restaurant in Kingston.
CHEFS CORNER
Tangy dish
makes duet with
two cuts of pork
Hello Vanderlyns Guests!
Those of you who have read my
articles know that I cant cook, nor
do I like to.
Maybe I shouldnt say I cant
cook because I do make about five
things very well!
But, Ill let
you in on a lit-
tle secret I
do like to grill,
especially in the
summer.
I recently told
John that I was
going to grill
some sweet corn
in the husk, and
some potatoes,
but wasnt sure
what protein I
wanted to go
with it.
He suggested I use some prime
pork, so he cut me some mignons
and my dinner menu was planned.
I could make the pork mignons on
the grill and also have some pulled
pork for a sandwich if desired. I
knew this was something even I
could do, so that is what I decided
on.
Since he knows I love the sauces
he creates, he surprised me by giv-
ing me some raspberry barbecue
sauce for the pork! I love the tangy
and sweet flavor combination of
that sauce.
Easy, yet flavorful, is right up my
alley. I will say I had very satisfied
dinner guests.
The Barbecued Pork Duet is cur-
rently on our dinner menu and
is very popular with our guests.
If you enjoy pork, I would like to
invite you to Vanderlyns to try our
Barbecued Pork Duet, as it is a great
combination of prime pork mignon
and slow braised pork shoulder,
otherwise known as pulled pork,
accented with our homemade rasp-
berry barbecue sauce.
After you try it at the restaurant,
you may even want to experiment
at home.
For reservations or additional
features call Vanderlyns at 283-
6260. Our website is www.vander-
lyns.com
BARBECUED PORK DUET
Yield: 1 Serving
Ingredients
1 prime pork mignon, 8 ounces
3 ounces pulled pork
3 ounces raspberry barbecue
sauce or your favorite
parsley, chopped, as needed
salt and black pepper, to taste
Method of Preparation
1) Season pork mignons with
salt and pepper. Sear pork for 1-2
minutes on each side; transfer pork
to baking and finish cooking in 400
F oven until 140 F internal temper-
ature is achieved on an instant-read
thermometer.
2) Place pulled pork on pre-
heated dinner plate, slice mignon
and fan on plate, drizzle with rasp-
berry barbecue sauce, add whipped
Yukon gold potatoes, seasonal veg-
etables and enjoy.

Schreiber, Voight enthrall in surefre hit Ray Donovan
Liev Schreiber has
long been a terrific
actor in search of a
role wholly exploiting
his rugged looks and
smoldering sexuality.
With Showtimes riv-
eting new series Ray
Donovan, hes finally
found it. And he takes
full advantage.
As the title charac-
ter, Schreiber clearly
relishes the opportu-
nity to empty his con-
siderable arsenal, a la
the late, great James
Gandolfini, by looking
as comfortable busting
heads (with a baseball
bat) in the body of a
Hollywood fixer as
he does coddling his
spoiled, social- climbing
wife and kids.
In fact, during the
first hour of Showtimes
surefire hit, debut-
ing Sunday night at
10, youd swear you
were watching Tony
Soprano incarnate.
But by hour two, when
the series created
by Southlands Ann
Biderman finds its
legs, his Ray Donovan
becomes entirely his
own man and you
cant get enough of him.
Or, his ruthless, iras-
cible father, played by
another vastly unde-
rutilized actor, the
all-but-forgotten Jon
Voight.
Yes, the man whod
become best known for
being the estranged
grandparent to the
Brangelina brood, thrill-
ingly reconnects with
the talents that made
him an Oscar-winner.
As Mickey Donovan,
an aged Boston mob-
ster just sprung from
a 20-year stretch at
Walpole, Voight is
nude, crude and on a
vengeance, as he heads
west to reunite with his
three majorly screwed-
up sons, all South
Boston transplants now
residing in a California
where the sun dont
shine.
But first, Pops stops
off at a Southie cathe-
dral to pop the priest
who bopped his young-
est, Bunchy (Dash
Mihok), during the hey-
day of the church sex
scandal.
In Mickeys mind, his
shocking act is noth-
ing more than a father
absolving the sins of a
Father.
But Ray, who quickly
gets wind of what dear
ol Dad has done, takes
exception, and plans to
use the information to
send Mickey back to
Walpole, far away from
his wife, Abby (Hunger
Games mom, Paula
Malcomson), daughter,
Bridget (Moneyball
scene-stealer Kerris
Dorsey), and son,
Conor (Devon Bagby).
Only problem is
that everyone, includ-
ing older brother and
brain- damaged ex-box-
er, Terry (the great Brit
character actor Eddie
Marsan), is glad to see
the deceptively jolly
and charming Mickey
back in the fold.
Thus, the stage is set
for a battle of wits and
stratagems between a
father harboring more
secrets than the NSA
and a son whose obses-
sion with keeping his
father at bay takes an
escalating toll on his
marriage and Michael
Clayton-like livelihood
as a fixer for the stars.
If a Laker wakes up
in bed with a dead
coke fiend, call Ray.
If a young Hollywood
stud gets caught with
his pants down in the
company of a trannie,
call Ray.
He and his team will
clean everything up nice
and tidy, either through
muscle or cash, which
his employers, the
elite law team of Ezra
Goodman (a superb
Elliott Gould) and Lee
Drexler (a hilariously
foul-mouthed Peter
Jacobson), have plenty
of, thanks to their star-
studded clientele.
They, like most of
Bidermans charac-
ters, are oblivious to
their self-absorbed
eccentricities. And
Schreiber is only too
happy to play straight
man to this kooky con-
tingent of wannabes,
has beens and fleeting
stars. He never fails to
make you feel and
empathize with the
frustrations of a fixer
who cant fix the most
important thing in his
life his family.
Same for Voight,
who never ceases to
amaze with his uncanny
ability to go from
utterly terrifying to
frightfully funny at the
turn of a dime.
If theres a complaint
about Ray Donovan,
and its a relatively
small one, its that you
cant shake the feeling
that youve seen a lot
of this before in movies
like Michael Clayton
and The Fighter,
and TV shows like
The Sopranos and
Entourage.
But Biderman, who
wrote three of the
first four episodes
available to the press,
does her pilfering dis-
creetly enough to make
her engrossing new
series very much her
own.
Not bad for a creator/
executive producer
who, at age 62, runs
refreshingly contrary to
the Hollywood norm of
young male Turks.
Yes, shes older,
but shes also wiser.
And it shows both
in her writing and in
the way she patiently
reveals the complexity
of her characters, no
matter if they are movie
stars, like Voight,
Gould and Schreiber,
or still wet-behind-
the- ears child actors
like Dorsey and Bagby.
And the more she
peels back the onion,
RAYDONOVAN
Cast includes Liev Schreiber, Jon Voight, Elliott Gould,
Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok and Paula Malcomson.
Airs Sunday nights at 10 on Showtime and repeats
throughout the week.
Also available on On Demand the day after each show
debuts.
Grade: A-
the more your addic-
tion to Ray Donovan
and its vast array of
fascinating characters
grows and grows.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am a
twice-divorced wom-
an who has never
been good at choos-
ing the men in my
life. Two years ago, I
met a man who is 12
years my senior. He
is sweet, thoughtful and caring, and
would do just about anything for me.
What started as companionship has
turned into a full-blown love affair.
The problem is that he is married.
His wife is not well. She has a
chronic disease and other medical
problems. The way he cares for her is
what attracted me to him. He spends
what time he can with me, but mostly
he is there for his wife.
I am OK with the situation, as I
dont want him to leave her for me.
I have tried breaking it off with him,
but he gets me to take him back, say-
ing he doesnt know what he would
do without me in his life.
Abby, I feel like Im in the back-
ground waiting for her to die so I can
take her place as his wife, and I hate
this feeling. What should I do?
Guilty in Kentucky
Dear Guilty: Your feelings are well-
founded. You ARE waiting in the
background for this mans wife to die.
But what if she doesnt?
You say you have never been good
at choosing men, and I have to agree.
Ask yourself why you chose to get in-
volved with someone who isnt avail-
able except for a few stolen moments.
If marriage is what you really want,
your priority should be to find a man
who doesnt have the kind of previous
commitment this one does.
Dear Abby: I have recently been
contacted by an old boyfriend who is
now incarcerated. He claims I was the
love of his life and he thought about
me often after our breakup. He is now
asking me to become his pen pal and
send him money occasionally.
I have bitter memories of our re-
lationship, so its hard to believe he
cared for me as much as he says. He
is begging me not to abandon him
or forget about him, but I dont want
the role of pen pal and provider. How
do I share my thoughts without hurt-
ing his feelings?
Reluctant in California
Dear Reluctant: If you are smart,
you wont respond to him at all. I
have printed letters from more than
one prison guard who wanted to warn
kind-hearted, gullible women that in-
mates send multiple solicitations of
this kind in the hope that SEVERAL
of the recipients will send money.
You are not responsible for this
mans well-being. Since your breakup,
your lives have obviously gone in po-
lar opposite directions. My advice is
to keep it that way, for your own sake.
Dear Abby: What is the proper way
to dispose of leftover milk in your ce-
real bowl? To dump it out is wasteful,
to spoon it up like soup seems a bit
much, and to drink it right from the
bowl seems rather cat-like. Does the
answer differ if you are in your own
kitchen vs. a restaurant?
Got Milk in San Francisco
Dear Got Milk: If youre in a restau-
rant, you should not lap liquid from
the bowl. If youre at home any-
thing goes. And if you have so much
milk left in your bowl after the cereal
has been consumed, you are pouring
too much in.
DEAR ABBY

Twice-divorced woman considers her place in affair with married man
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
offer your compassion easily to
others but not so readily to your-
self. You expect much of yourself
now, and you may forget that
people dont become experts
overnight.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What
seems like its happening in the
spur of the moment might actu-
ally be the culmination of hours
of preparation. This is even true
of small talk. Preparation makes
for graceful articulation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Children
arent the only ones who tend to
misbehave when they are bored.
The good news is that once
everyone has something inter-
esting to do, good behavior will
be a given.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Getting
comfortable in relationships
takes time, especially for those
who have standards as high
as yours are lately. Keep your
expectations high, though.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most people
dont like to be confronted with
criticism, but youre different.
You want to know whats work-
ing and whats not working for
others so you can become as
effective as possible.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Try not
to overthink things, be skepti-
cal or read too much into every
result. Not everyone harbors a
hidden intention. Some people
are just going along acting on
natural inclinations.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Others
wont be observing you as close-
ly as you are looking at them
right now. Its a relief unless
youre particularly proud of what
youre bringing to the table.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youre
supportive of people regardless
of whether they are supportive
of you. Youre used to making
the first move, and youll make
it again today. Returns on your
investment come later.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Skills worth acquiring involve
hours of practice and mopping
up after making many, many
mistakes. While attempting a
trial-and-error process, dont for-
get that most of the learning will
come from the error part.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Someone close to you is still try-
ing to figure out how to show
love to you in the way you would
prefer. In the meantime, youll
smile and put up with the well-
intended misses.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You do what it takes to please
people. Sometimes you even
state the opinion that others
want to hear instead of the one
you really have. Only those who
know you very well will know the
difference.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your
action is guided by a sincere
devotion to another person. Its
easy for you to cooperate and
work very hard. Without a sec-
ond thought, you do what needs
doing.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 21).
Your ambitions will lead you to
leadership and the limelight!
New relationships will motivate
you toward health and fitness
goals in September. June brings
reunions and wedding bells.
Libra and Pisces people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 1,
22, 19 and 39.
