WASHINGTON, D.C. The United States Su-
preme Court has ruled against former Duryea
boroughpolice chief Charles Guarnieri inhis six-
year legal battle over his termination.
In a unanimous opinion issued Monday, the
high court said a lower appel-
late court erred when it deter-
mined Guarnieri did not have
to show that he was speaking
about a matter of public con-
cern in order to prevail in a fed-
eral retaliation lawsuit he filed
against the borough in 2005.
The ruling is a key victory
for Duryea and other public
employers nationwide, who feared they would
be subjected to a flood of employee lawsuits if
the court sided with Guarneri, said attorney Ka-
roline Mehalchick, whodefendedthe boroughin
the initial lawsuit.
Guarnieri was fired in 2003. He filed a union
grievance and won his job back about two years
later. His lawsuit alleged borough officials retal-
iated against him for successfully utilizing a
union grievance process to win his job back. A
jury sided with Guarnieri in 2008 and awarded
him $97,358 in damages, which was later re-

SCRANTON Despite
hours of instruction Monday,
its likely that the men and
women who will decide the
innocence or guilt of Lacka-
wanna County Commission-
er A.J. Munchak and former
commissioner Robert Corda-
ro will receive additional clar-
ification on their responsibil-
ities before they begin delib-
erations this morning.
Senior U.S. District Court
Judge A. Richard Caputo
spent three hours instructing
jurors on how they are to de-
cide whether Cordaro and
Munchak committed extor-
tion, mail fraud, racketeering
and some of the other 41com-
bined counts against them in
the public corruption trial
that opened June 6.
Outside the courthouse
Monday evening, Cordaros
attorney William Costopou-
los said the indictment didnt
have to be as confusing as the
prosecution made it.
It was structured in such a
way that it was convoluted, it
was complex The reason it
was done this way was to cre-
ate some confusion and hope
they split the baby, Costo-
poulos said. Ive been prac-
ticing lawfor 40 years and my
head was spinning.
Attorneys representing the
prosecution and defense each
spent about an hour summa-
rizing the case before Caputo
began instructing the jury
late Monday afternoon, the
11th day of the trial.
As she beganher closingre-
marks, Assistant U.S. Attor-
ney Lorna Graham reminded
jurors of the day they held
$30,000 in their hand and
what a unique experience
that was.

Luzerne County Controller Walter Griffith
released an audit Monday criticizing the non-
profit CityVest and the countys community
development office on their handling of a
county loan for the Hotel Sterling project.
Both fired back.
County Community Development Direc-
tor Andrew Reilly said the audit contains
multiple errors that he will publicly correct
when he receives the loan paperwork that
Griffith borrowed to com-
plete the audit.
The last paragraph of the
audit particularly bothered
Reilly because it advises
county commissioners to
complete audits of other
funds managed by the of-
fice. Reilly said an external
auditor examines spending on all office pro-
grams annually. The federal government also
conducts routine audits, he said.
The fact that Walter doesnt know that, I
was a little surprised. Weve hadanaudit here
every single year, and there have been no is-
sues, Reilly said.
Reilly said CityVest, which owns the land-
mark former hotel in downtown Wilkes-
Barre, didnot receive more than$6millionas
indicatedintheaudit. Spendinginspecific ar-
eas deviated from the original budget an-
other audit finding -- because projects are ini-
tiated based on estimates, Reilly said.
The board that oversees CityVest released
astatement sayingtheaudit contains factual
errors, such as a statement that CityVest
used the county loan money to lease four
parking spaces. CityVest leased out spaces,
not the other way around, to generate reve-
nue, the board said.
The errors in the report might have been
corrected if -- as is routinely done in matters
of this nature -- the controller had provided
CityVest and the county the opportunity to

A state hearing examiner has
ordered Luzerne County to re-
hire 36 union employees who
were cut fromthe county payroll
when their department was out-
sourced almost a year ago and
pay all their lost wages and bene-
fits.
Ayearsworthof payfor theim-
pacted former employees would
total more than $1 million, ac-
cording to payroll records from
2010. The estimated cost of
health insurance for the employ-
ees was not available Monday.
The ruling stems from an un-
fair labor practices claim filed
against the county last May by
employees of the now-defunct
county Workforce Investment
Development Agency, whichpro-
vided employment programs for
adults and underprivileged
youths.
TheuniontheAmericanFed-
eration of State, County & Mu-
nicipal Employees, orAFSCME
argued that the county played a
role in the outsourcing and failed
to negotiate the contracting out
of jobs with union workers as re-
quired by their collective bar-
gaining agreement.
County commissioners main-
tain the outsourcing was beyond
their control because it was initi-
ated and executed by the autono-
mous Luzerne-Schuylkill Work-
force Investment Board.

onard presided over hearings in

panies hired through the out-
sourcing.

NUANGOLA The long-run-
ningdebate onthe proposedsew-
age collection systemfor the bor-
ough entered another phase
Monday when it was announced
at a meetingof council that a $4.5
million financing package from
Fulton Bank of Lancaster is
scheduled to be reviewed next
week.
Council President Regina
Plodwick proposed that a public
meeting be scheduled for 7 p.m.
June 27. Her motion was unani-
mously approved. Melissa Web-
er, secretary-treasurer, was di-
rected to publicly advertise the
session, in keeping with the open
meeting law.
Fulton Bank has been selected
by the Nuangola Sewer Author-
ity to finance the proposed pro-
ject. Previously, there was an is-
sue over a loan in excess of
$400,000 that was issued by Ful-
ton to fund a study of an engi-
neering plan that is known as Act
537. The act, which encompass-
es a feasibility plan prepared by
AlfredBeneschEngineering, was
also the topic of discussion at a
public gathering held at The
Grove in Nuangola on June 9. Ex-
tensive public comment was
heard by council on the still-de-
veloping project.
Plodwick said this meeting as
well as discussions with the
Pennsylvania Department of En-
vironmental Protection pro-
duced a series of changes that
have been incorporated into the
plan. She said, once all the chang-
es and contract permits are is-
sued, it is estimated that work
could begin in 2014. In conjunc-
tion with this project, council
voted in favor of a payment of
$1,770 in premiums for an insur-
ance policy secured by the sewer
authority.
Council approved unanimous-
ly to accept a bid from Stell En-
terprises, Plains Township, for a
surface water runoff project on
Rock Island Road. Stells bid is
$6,108 for the excavation of a
swale and installation of piping
to provide relief for property
owners who complained about
runoff during periods of heavy
storms.
There was some discussion
about awarding the bid to a local
contractor, but Councilman John
Kochan declared weve been
talking about this for some time,
lets get it done. Kochan also
submitted that a performance
clause be included in the con-
tract, but it was explained that
Stell had already agreed to com-
ply with published specifications
set downinadvertisingsoliciting
proposals. Overall, four firms
submitted bids.
In the debate, Councilman
Steve Hudak, road and streets
chairman, said that an even big-
ger problem is in the process of
being resolved on Bridge Road.
He didnt elaborate, but initially
indicated that Bridge Road
should have priority over Rock
Island. But when comment cen-
tered on Rock Island, Hudak vot-
ed with the majority.
It was announced that, in com-
pliance with an action by Lu-
zerne County, the DonWilkinson
Agency will be the collection
agent for the 1percent earned in-
come tax and it was stated, after
questions were raised by Nuan-
gola residents, that Rice Town-
ship police, in compliance with
established policy, will conduct a
background check on two part-
time employees recently hiredby
the road and streets department.

police reported the following:
Thurman Colclough, 50, of
Irving Place, was to be cited
with harassment after Esther
Crook alleged that he punched
her in the face Sunday night at
38 Irving Place, police said.
Amanda Samuel, 19, was
arrested at 175 Mill St. on Mon-
day on a warrant from the Lu-
zerne County Sheriffs Depart-
ment on a charge of possession
with intent to deliver heroin,
police said.
Police determined Samuel
was wanted during a knock-
and-talk investigation involving
a stolen car. The Wilkes-Barre
city police Viper Unit conducted
the investigation after receiving
complaints of drug dealing
activities in the area, police said.
Moquearose Henderson, of

HARRISBURG The state
Senate sent the governor a bill
Mondaytoexpandtheright touse
deadly force in self-defense in
Pennsylvania, ending more than a
year of often-emotional debate
over the role of guns in society.
Thebill towidenPennsylvanias
existing self-defense law was ap-
proved45-5 without discussionby
the Republican-controlled Senate.
Gov. TomCorbett is expectedto
sign the measure.
Law-abiding citizens should
not have to fear prosecution be-
cause they seek to protect them-
selves from criminals, said Sen.
GeneYaw, R-Lycoming, aco-spon-
sor of similar legislation in the
Senate. This measureprotects re-
sponsible gun owners, while en-
suring that their Second Amend-
ment rights are preserved.
The bill would expand the
states castle doctrine as in a
familys home is its castle to al-
lowthe right to use a gun or other
deadly force in self-defense in sit-
uations outsideapersons homeor
business.
Currently, the use of deadly
force is not justifiable if the person
cansafelyretreat, except whenthe
threat is made inside his or her
home or business.
The bill, sponsored by Rep.
Scott Perry, R-York, wouldremove
the requirement to retreat as long
as the assailant displays a gun or
other deadly weapon and the
would-be victim legally possesses
agunor other lethal weapon, has a
right to be in the place where the
confrontation occurs and believes
deadly force is necessary to pre-
vent death, serious injury, kidnap-
ping or rape.
Also, the legislationwouldlimit
certain civil liability in some cases
for people who act within the gui-
delines. If they are sued by the al-
leged assailant and prevail in
court, theywouldbe entitledtoan
award of legal fees and costs as
well as compensation for lost in-

In earlier floor debates, propo-

Safety seat inspections
find improper installations
M
ore than three-quarters of the
child passenger safety seats
inspected by state troopers during a
two-week enforcement effort were
found to be improperly installed,
State Police Commissioner Frank
Noonan said Monday.
State police inspected 319 safety
seats at 45 locations statewide dur-
ing a Click It or Ticket campaign
that ran from May 23 to June 5.
Noonan said troopers found that 246,
or about 77 percent, of those seats
were improperly installed. Locally,
inspections in Troop P, which serves
Luzerne, Bradford, Wyoming and
Sullivan counties, half of the safety
seats inspected were installed impro-
perly. In Troop R, which serves Lack-
awanna, Wayne, Pike and Susquehan-
na counties, 25 of the 26 seats in-
spected were not installed properly.
Common problems included
failing to securely anchor the child
seat to the vehicles seat; failing to
use the childs seat harness to hold
the child in the seat; and facing the
car seat in the wrong direction,
Noonan said.
Parents can schedule an appoint-
ment for an inspection of a child
safety seat by calling any state police
station. In Luzerne County, inspec-
tions are performed on the first Tues-
day of the month at the state police
stations at Hazleton and Wyoming
and on the first Wednesday of the
month at the station in Shickshinny.
Inspections are done by appointment
only. To schedule an appointment,
call Wyoming, 697-2000; Hazleton,
459-3890 or Shickshinny, 735-8065.
Noonan noted that during the
two-week Click It or Ticket enforce-
ment effort, troopers issued 902 seat
belt citations and 3,874 seat belt
warnings; cited 63 persons for failing
to properly restrain a child in a safety
seat; and arrested 32 persons for
driving under the influence. Cita-
tions and warnings were not issued
to people who brought their seats to
the voluntary inspections.

WILKES-BARRE Michael Simonson
was on a mission to smash someones
head in in April 2009, defense attorney
Mark Bufalino said Monday.
Andhisclient, ElvisRiccardi, wasalong
for the ride.
There is no evidence Elvis Riccardi
participatedinthe deathof DonaldSkiff,
Bufalino said in his opening statement in
thefirst dayof Riccardis trial onhomicide
and other related charges.
Riccardi, 33, is charged in Skiffs death.
Skiff was last seen by friends with whom
he was fishingonApril 27, 2009. His body
was found five weeks later after Simon-
son, 34, led police to an area in Jenkins
Township. Simonson has pleaded guilty
to second-degree murder and was sen-
tenced to life in prison in August.

nity to meet Skiff in Shickshinny around

It was Simonson, Bufalinosaid, whoor-
dered Skiff to pull over and get out of the
vehicle before tying up his hands.
It was Simonson who ordered Riccardi
to withdraw $300 from Skiffs bank ac-
count.
Andit wasSimonsonwhosaidSkiff had
to be killed, Bufalino said.
Riccardi, Bufalinosaid, wantednothing

Thats what the evidence will show
about how Donald Skiff died, Bufalino
said.
Prosecutors paint a
different picture of how
Riccardi allegedly par-
ticipated in Skiffs
death.
After Skiff was de-
clared missing, Riccardi
allegedly divulged to
several family members,
District Attorney Jackie
Musto Carroll said, that
he had done something terrible.
Riccardi saw an article in a local news-
paper about Skiffs disappearance and al-
legedly commented, Pretty face, aint
pretty no more.
That comment opened a can of worms,
causing Riccardi to detail Skiffs death.
Musto Carroll said Riccardi revealed
Skiff was on his knees with bound hands
while Riccardi beat himrepeatedly.
He heard blood gurgle, Musto Carroll
said, and told family he stomped on Skiffs

DALLAS TWP. Adust cloud formed
as an excavator tore into the 50-year-old
brick building that, just a fewweeks ago,
held about 885 students.
Beyond the dirt and rubble about 35
feet away was another structure -- a
state-of-the-art facility enclosed in
bright red bricks that can hold nearly
twice as many pupils.
Demolition began Monday on the for-
mer Dallas High School building to
make way for a parking lot for students
who will attend the
new high school this
September.
While the $43 mil-
lion, two-year con-
struction project is
tracking two weeks be-
hind schedule, Bob
Nesbit of Crabtree
Rohrbaugh & Associ-
ates, the project archi-
tect, saidthe demolitionis right ontime.
This is the last leg of the project, the
final phase, said Nesbit. The new
building is virtually finished.
He said demolition is the worst part
of the construction schedule because
there is only a 90-day time period for the
demolition and paving to be completed.
Before students were dismissed for
the summer, crews were busy after
school and on weekends removing asbe-
stos from the faade of the building to
expedite the demolition process.
The asbestos workcontinuedinside of
the building after graduation on June 3.
Once removal was completed in half of
the building, site contractor and excava-
tor Charles Corby and Sons of Tunkhan-
nock got the greenlight to begindemoli-
tion.
Asbestos removal will continue in an-
other wing of the building as crews de-
molish the back of the school where the
gymand athletic locker rooms are locat-
ed. Nesbit said this will allow crews to
finish work on sidewalks in front of the
new school.
The part were hoping for, praying
for, is good weather, Nesbit said.
He said construction crews are work-
ing at least eight hours a day, six days a
week on the project. He said favorable
weather is critical to the projects suc-
cess, despite having some time to work
with in case of delays.
We just want to be done and to be
able to give the building over to the
school so they can do what they need to
prepare for the students, he said.
The demolition of the old building
will continue through July, but the old
highschool will still be physically part of
the district campus. Bricks and concrete
will be separated from metal and glass
Old school

School will become a parking lot for

KINGSTON With an independent
pharmacy owner at his side, U.S. Rep.
Tom Marino on Monday talked about
his proposedlegislationthat wouldhelp
businesses such as Cooks Pharmacy
compete against massive companies.
This legislation is simple, Marino
said outside the pharmacy that has op-
erated since 1967. It will give inde-
pendent pharmacies the ability to com-
peteandnegotiatelower prices that will
be passed on to their customers.
The bill, HR-1946, empowers inde-
pendent pharmacies to negotiate with
pharmacy benefit managers over the
most important terms that affect retail
prescription drug prices and that are
currently hidden from consumers and
insurers.
During a press conference at Cooks,
Marinosaidthe Associationof Commu-
nity Pharmacists Congressional Net-
work has endorsed legislation to con-
front secret practices by pharmacy ben-
efit managers that inflate drug costs for
consumers and private-sector health
care plans.
Marino, R-Lycoming Township, in-
troduced the bill on May 23 and it was
referred to the Committee on the Judi-
ciary (Marino sits on that committee).
As of June 20, there were six co-spon-
sors and Marino continues to seek co-
sponsors for the bill. Marino said he is
talking with GOP leadership to get it
moving forward and expects the bill to
come to the House floor for a vote this
year.
Buying in less volume shouldnt be a
deterrent, Marino said. This legisla-
tion would allow independent pharma-
cies tocollectivelycombinetonegotiate
better deals.

WASHINGTON
McCain defends fire claim
S
en. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Mon-
day defended his weekend state-
ment that illegal immigrants were
responsible for some Arizona wildfires,
citing congressional testimony and
published reports to back his claim.
Speaking from his home state Sat-
urday, McCain said there was sub-
stantial evidence that some of these
fires have been caused by people who
have crossed our border illegally. He
didnt specify what evidence, however.
The comment drew criticism.
Speaking on the Imus in the Morn-
ing show Monday, McCain stood by
his statement.
McCain said Forest Service officials
have testified that large numbers of
warming and cooking fires built and
abandoned by cross-border violators
have caused wildfires that have de-
stroyed cultural and natural resources.
SURMAN, LIBYA
Gadhafi allys compound hit
Libyas government said a NATO
airstrike west of Tripoli early Monday
destroyed a large family compound
belonging to a close associate of
Moammar Gadhafi, killing at least 15
people, including three children. The
alliance said the strike hit a command
and control center.
Gadhafis regime has repeatedly
accused NATO of targeting civilians in
an attempt to rally support against
international intervention into Libyas
civil war. The alliance insists it tries to
avoid killing civilians.
Libyan government spokesman
Moussa Ibrahim said NATO bombs
struck the compound belonging to
Khoweildi al-Hamidi outside the city of
Surman, some 40 miles west of Tripoli.

Syrian leader vows dialogue
Syrias president promised a national
dialogue Monday to consider political
reforms, but his vague overtures to a
pro-democracy uprising fell flat as
protesters took to the streets shouting
Liar! and demanding his ouster.
In only his third public appearance
since the revolt erupted in March,
Bashar Assad returned to a now-famil-
iar refrain: He blamed the unrest on
saboteurs, offered modest potential
reforms, but gave no sign hed move
toward ending the Assad familys politi-
cal domination.
ATHENS, GREECE
Rolling blackouts begin
Greece was hit by rolling blackouts
Monday as employees at the main
power utility began 48-hour rolling
strikes to protest the companys priv-
atization, part of austerity plans need-
ed to avoid a national debt default.
The sell-off of state assets in the
power company is a major step in a 50
billion euro ($71 billion) privatization
drive that must be completed by 2015.
It is part of highly unpopular austerity
plans, including more tax hikes and
spending cuts, which must be passed
by Parliament by the end of the month
if Greece is to get the next 12 billion
euro installment of its 110 billion euro
bailout next month. The troubled So-
cialist government is also struggling to
make up for ongoing budget shortfalls.
Without the funds, Greece will be
unable to pay its debts as of the middle
of July, triggering a default that would
rock financial markets in Europe and
abroad.

JACKSON, Miss. The State
Department is publicly acknowl-
edging that one of its most pop-
ular exchange programs leaves
foreign college students vulner-
able to exploitation, but its un-
clear if newregulations the agen-
cy is pushing will do enough to
stop the abuses.
The revised
rules aim to
shift more re-
sponsibility on-
to the 53 enti-
ties the depart-
ment desig-
nates official
sponsors in the
J-1 Summer
Work Travel
Program. His-
torically, many
sponsors have
farmed out
those duties to
third-party contractors, making
the sponsors mere purveyors of
J-1 visas, according to the State
Departments proposed new
rules published this spring in the
Federal Register.
Students visiting under J-1 vi-
sas make ideal victims since they
are here temporarily and may
not know how to seek help. An
Associated Press investigation
published six months ago found
that many participants paid
thousands of dollars to come to
the U.S., only to learn the jobs
they were promised didnt exist.
Some had to share beds in
crowded houses or apartments,
charged so much for lodging and
transportation that they took
home no pay. Others turned to
the sex industry, while some
sought help from homeless shel-
ters.
In posting the proposed new
rules, State Department officials
detailed problems that largely
mirrored the APs findings, then
blamed lack of oversight by the
sponsors, and expressed confi-
dence the changes will help
clean up the program, partly by
requiring sponsors to verify that
students have jobs and that the
employers are legitimate.
A review of the new regula-
tions shows they have few teeth,
however. While the changes
spell out howsponsors are to vet
third-party brokers and how of-
ten they are to touch base with
visiting students, the rules are
vague on how vigorously the
State Department will check to
verify those duties are done.
This is a dangerous program
because the State Department
has outsourced its oversight role
to the programsponsors and em-
ployers who hire the participa-
nts, said Daniel Costa, an immi-
gration policy analyst who is
working on the Economic Policy
Institutes report.

WASHINGTON Too many
doctors are testing the wrong
women, or using the wrong test,
for a virus that causes cervical
cancer.
The days of one-size-fits-all
screening for cervical cancer are
long gone. How often to get a
Pap smear and whether to be
tested for the cancer-causing
HPV virus at the same time
now depend on your age and
other circumstances.
But a government study re-
ports Monday that a surprising
number of doctors and clinics
arent following national guide-
lines on how to perform HPV
checks, suggesting a lot of wom-
en are getting unnecessary
tests.
That wastes money and could
harm women who wind up get-
ting extra medical care they
didnt need, says Dr. Mona Sa-
raiya of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, who
led the research.
Even she wasnt protected
from the confusion. Saraiya was
stunned to get a bill showing
that her own doctor had ordered
testing for HPV strains not con-
nected to cervical cancer.
The findings, reported in the
journal Obstetrics & Gynecolo-
gy, show women have to be sav-
vy to ensure theyre getting the
right checkups enough, but
not too much.
Its extremely discouraging,
says Debbie Saslow, gynecolog-
ic cancer director at the Amer-
ican Cancer Society, whos had
to argue with her doctor against
testing too often. We have not
been able to get that message
across.
Cervical cancer grows so
slowly that Pap smears which
examine cells scraped from the
cervix usually find it in time
to treat, or even to prevent when
precancerous cells are spotted
and removed.
For decades, Paps were the
only way to screen for cervical
cancer. Now doctors know that
certain strains of HPV, the hu-
man papillomavirus, cause most
cervical cancer. HPV testing
isnt a replacement for the Pap.
But it can provide extra informa-
tion to help determine if a wom-
an is at higher or lower risk and
thus guide her ongoing care if
its used correctly.
The new CDC study, part of a
massive national survey of med-
ical practices, examined how
doctors are using it.

PHILADELPHIAJackass star Ryan
Dunn, whoalongwithhiscast matesmade
Americans cringeandsnicker throughvul-
gar stunts in their multimillion-dollar TV
andmoviefranchise, was killedearlyMon-
day in a fiery car crash. He was 34.
Dunn, a daredevil who gained notoriety
for diving into a sewage tank andperform-
ing other unsavory stunts, was driving his
2007 Porsche in suburban Philadelphia
whenit careeredoff theroad, flippedovera
guardrail and crashed into the woods be-
fore bursting into flames. Apassenger was
also killed, andspeedmay have beena fac-
tor in the crash, West Goshen Township
police said.
The force of impact shattered the vehi-
cle into several twisted
and blackened pieces,
leaving the Porsche 911
GT3 unrecognizable ex-
cept for a door that was
thrown from the crash
and not incinerated. A
100-foot-long tire skid
marked where the car
left the roadway.
Both Dunn and his passenger were se-
verely burned. Police said they were able
to identify Dunn through his tattoos and
hair, but the identity of his passenger was
still unknown.
Dunn appeared on MTV shows Jack-
ass and Viva La Bam and the three
Jackass big-screen adaptations. He also
wasthestar of hisownMTVshow, Home-
wrecker, and just began hosting the new
show Proving Ground on the G4 cable
network.
G4 spokesman Dave Welch said Prov-
ing Ground, which premiered June 11

,was being pulled for now until the net-
work can discuss the shows future.

LEHMAN TWP. Several
Mountain View Drive residents
complainedtotheBoardof Super-
visors Monday about the condi-
tion of and speeding on the road.
The board agreed that the road is
inbadshape, but saidbecause of a
lackof funding, only sporadic pav-
ing and milling has been done
over the years. Were trying to
stretchour pavingdollars as far as
we can, said township Roadmas-
ter Doug ide.
JohnNiezgoda, whosaidhehas
lived on Mountain ViewDrive for
more than 70 years, said it would
be senseless topave the roaduntil
two major drainage pipes in front
of his house are unblocked. Niez-
goda, who lives in the1400 block,
said the pipes have been blocked
tight for at least 20 years. Due to
the blockage, storm water floods
the road, causing the road to
crack. I cant see the purpose of
paving a road unless you have a
place for the water to go, he said.
Niezgoda and the others also
asked if a police officer would
monitor thespeedof motorists on
the road. The speed limit is 35
miles per hour, he said. If you
can catch a car going less than 60,
Ill buy you a hamburger.
Niezgodasaidthespeedingisat
its highest around 8:50 am on
weekdays during the school year.
Police Chief Howard Kocher said
hewouldhavetheareamonitored.
In another matter, Supervisor
Ray Iwanoski announced that the
township may be able address
blighted and nuisance properties
with the backing of a bill in the
stateLegislaturereferredtoasAct
90. The bill could help speed the
process of tracking down owners
of abandoned nuisance proper-
ties.

LAKE TWP. The Lake-Leh-
man School Board approved a 1.8
percent tax increase for Luzerne
County residents in its final bud-
get Monday evening.
Three board members, Harold
Cornell, Bo Kreller and Moderno
Rossi, voted against the measure,
while Walter Glogowski, Mark
Kornoski, Lorraine Farrell, An-
drew Salko, Kevin Carey and Da-
vid Paulauskas voted in favor of
the increase.
The boardpasseda budget with
revenues at $26,136,386 and ex-
penditures at $25,186,187. Millage
rates will be 8.8531 for Luzerne
County residents and 57.3742 for
Wyoming County taxpayers.
Amill is $1tax per every $1,000
in assessed property value.
Kornoski said the increase
translates to an average of $39 per
an assessed property value of
$250,000 in Luzerne County.
Wyoming County residents will
actually see a decrease inproperty
taxes due to the rebalancing of the
budget.
At its May regular meeting, the
board presented a proposed final
budget with no tax increases for
Luzerne and Wyoming counties
for the 2011-12 school year. In Feb-
ruary, the board proposed a 4.1
percent tax increase in Luzerne
County and a 1.005 percent in-
crease for those in Wyoming
County.
Superintendent James McGov-
ern said the board made certain
expectations in the proposed fi-
nal budget that could not be guar-
anteed, calling for the increase.
Thomas Melone, of Albert Mel-
one andCo., the districts business
consultant, said the district was
abletosavemoneybyrealignment
of curriculum, reverifying health
careandretireecosts andenacting
a pay freeze for administration.
Despite these strategies, Melone
saidfuture school years wouldsuf-
fer if taxes were not raised.
He said the district expects to
lose about $1 million in funding
from the state this year and be-
lieves more cuts could come next
year.
The district used about half of
its fund balance, which is similar
to a savings account, to keep the
budget afloat about $950,000.
Melone said just $715,000 of that
account will beavailableat theend
of next year.
In accordance with proposed
personnel cuts, the board also vot-
ed not to renew the contracts of
thefollowingprofessional employ-
ees: Krystal Miner, Elena Pellegri-
ni and Mark Petrewski. Profes-
sional employee Kyrston Strauch
wassuspendedfromthedistrict ef-
fective June 13.
McGovern said the cuts were
planned as a result of the curtail-
ment of programs within the dis-
trict. Cuts were made basedonse-
niority and certification, he said.
Theboardalsoapprovedseveral
coaches, including the reappoint-
ment of headwrestlingcoachTho-
mas Williams but not without
hearing parents and other wres-
tlingcoaches comments onthe is-
sue.
Several parents spoke out
against Williams, who was hired
for the 2010-11 season as Phil Lip-
ski retired from the position after
21 years; fellow wrestling coaches
spoke in favor of him.
Williams was hired amid pro-
tests from parents and former
wrestlers last year.
McGovern said he believes Wil-
liams has performed well in the
position and met every goal he set
out to accomplish.

Rep. Tony Payton Jr., said at a
news conference in Philadel-

They grew up Americans,
they showcivic pride, they have

a Democratic lawmaker from
the city.But state Rep. Daryl
Metcalfe, founder of a national
groupof lawmakers critical of il-
legal immigration, blasted the
proposed Pennsylvania bill and
predicted it would fail to pass
the Legislature.
All Pennsylvaniaparents and
college students should be out-
raged that Rep. Payton has in-
troduced legislation to make it
moreaffordablefor illegal aliens
to attend college, Metcalfe, R-
Butler, saidina statement Mon-

and father of a daughter with cys-
tic fibrosis, said he knows the
benefits of dealing with a small
pharmacy. He said that familiar-
ity can pay dividends when pre-
scriptions need to be filled in a
hurry.
I know I can call my pharma-
cist at home and my prescription
will be filled quickly, Marino
said. And if I amout of town, my
pharmacist will call a pharmacy
where Imat and see that the pre-
scription is filled.
Marino said the legislation
would not cost the government a
penny.
But it would allow communi-
ty pharmacies to get a better deal
for their patients by entering into
negotiations with the pharmacy
benefit managers instead of be-
ing presented with take-it-or-
leave-it contracts, Marino said.
The consumer would benefit
from its passage. Patients would
not be forced to make a financial
decision, but with the even play-
ing field, would be able to have
their prescriptions filled at their
trusted neighborhood pharma-
cy.
Jim and Dawn Gaudino, own-
ers of Cooks Pharmacy in King-
ston since 2002, said the legisla-
tion would be a big help to small
pharmacies.
Marinos office provided statis-
tics that show there are more
than 23,000 independent com-
munity pharmacies that provide
approximately 300,000 Ameri-
can jobs.
Marino said similar legislation
passed the House Judiciary Com-
mittee in 2007. HR 1946 was
modified to apply only to non-
government-paid prescriptions
where pressure for reform is
strongest.

To prove their case, prosecu-
tors began calling witnesses
Monday, includingSkiffs father,
Donald Skiff Sr., who testified
about the day his son went fish-
ing withfriends the last day he
saw his son alive.
Skiff described the close rela-
tionship he had with his son,
and that the two had hugged
and said I love you before Skiff
left to spend time with his
friends.
The elder Skiff said it was un-
like his son not to show up for
work, and he knew something
was wrong when two women
withwhomSkiff workedat acup
factory showed up at his Ply-
mouth home asking where his
son was.
Prosecutors also called Skiffs
friend, Sean Kosek, who was fish-
ing with him that night, and said
the last he had seen Skiff was
around11p.m. andthat two men,
Riccardi and Simonson, had
come by, but everyone left soon
after. Kosek could not say if Skiff
went with the two other men.
Paula Summers, owner of
Martinis Bar in Shickshinny,

tified two men with tattoos
Riccardi and Simonson -- who

Martinelli said her backyard,
which contains a swimming
pool and a playhouse for her
daughter Victoria, is often
swarmed by the bees and she
feels that the safety of her family
is at significant risk. She said
she hopes that the family in the
home is put in a safe environ-
ment because how do you know
that the bees didnt infest the
home?
The neighboring house was
cited twice: Once last year, and
once just a few days prior to
Monday nights meeting. Coun-
cil maintains that there are limi-
tations to what they can do, and
that the process to deal with the
problem, although seemingly
long, is being followed.
We are going to make sure
that everything that needs to be
dealt with on our end is being
dealt with, said council Presi-
dent Joe Chacke. We are re-
quired to follow law. We cant
take law upon ourselves.
When asked if she was satis-
fied with the results of the meet-
ing, Martinelli replied abso-
lutely not. They blewit off. Mar-
tinelli says she plans on re-
searching the matter further
before taking the next course of
action.

HARRISBURG A proposal
to require Pennsylvania resi-
dents to produce government-
issued photo identification each
time they vote exposed sharp
partisan divides Monday in the
state House of Representatives.
Republicans defended the
voter IDbill, calling it a sensible
way to keep people fromcasting
illegal ballots. Democrats said
there was no evidence fraud has
been a problem and the net re-
sult will be fewer people turning
out at the polls.
Lawmakers voted against ex-
empting seniors and military
veterans from the photo ID re-
quirement but agreed to make it
easier to vote for people who
have religious objections to be-
ing photographed. The House
adjourned for the day after vot-
ing on five of them. A final
House vote to send the bill to
the Senate could occur as early
as Wednesday.
The bill, sponsored by Rep.
Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler, would
require voters to produce valid
photo identification, issued by
the state or federal govern-
ments, every time they vote.
Current law requires evidence
of identity but not necessarily a
government-issued photo ID
when someone votes for the
first time at a given polling
place.
Metcalfes proposal would
permit voters tocast provisional
ballots if they are too poor to af-
fordacceptableIDor if thejudge
of elections challenges their ID.

TONS OF CEILING FANS
HARRISBURG With less
than two weeks left in the fiscal
year, top Republican lawmakers
hope to finalize a state spending
plan that can pass the House and
Senate as early as this week and
get Gov. TomCorbetts signature,
officials said Monday.
A spending plan for the fiscal
year beginning July 1 is in the fi-
nal stages of negotiations and
will be less than the $27.3 billion
Corbett proposed in March, said
Senate Appropriations Commit-
tee Chairman Jake Corman, R-
Centre.
On Monday, leaders of the
House and Senate Republican
majorities gave a joint spending
plan to Corbett to address some
of the changes he requested in a
previous proposal. They planned
to meet with the governor this
morning, after a Monday evening
meeting was postponed.
Hopefully in the next day or
two well have some sort of final
agreement, said Corman, who
added that the size of cuts in so-
cial and human service programs
was probably the biggest unre-
solved matter between the sides.
Corman declined to give many
details about the latest plan. In
general, leaders in the Republi-
can-controlled Legislature have
been meeting behind closed
doors to consider using surplus
tax revenue to ease the impact of
proposed spending cuts in aid for
state-supported universities,
public schools and hospital care
for the poor.
Corbett, who spoke Monday
morning at a public event in Lan-
caster, also declined to discuss
details of negotiations.
The state faces a projected
multibillion-dollar budget deficit
in the next fiscal year, largely be-
cause of the disappearing federal
stimulus money that temporarily
helped buttress the states reces-
sion-wracked tax collections.
In keeping with demands by
Corbett, the proposal under dis-
cussion would not increase taxes
and would keep spending within
the bottom line of Corbetts pro-
posal, which represented about 3
percent less than this years bud-
get.
Corbett opposes raising taxes
and proposed $2.6 billion in
spending cuts to balance the bud-
get. However, Democrats and
some Republicans
argue that, thanks
to better-than-ex-
pected revenue col-
lections throughthe
end of May, the
state can spend
more to ease the
proposed cuts,
something Corbett
has said he opposes.
The state report-
ed a $540 million
surplus in tax col-
lections through the end of May,
the 11th month of the fiscal year.
In the meantime, public school
districts, particularly the states
poorest, are preparing to lay off
staff, close school buildings, raise
property taxes and eliminate pro-
grams like full-day kindergarten
to absorb approximately $1 bil-
lion, or more than 10 percent, in
proposed school-aid cuts.
On Monday, more than 40 par-
ents, students and teachers from
the WilliamPenn School District
in Delaware County demonstrat-
ed on the Capitol steps. The dis-
trict, one of the states poorest, is
expecting a 10 percent shortfall.
Property taxes are already
among the highest in the state in
William Penn, which is in the in-
ner ring suburbs of Philadelphia,
and a proposal for $6 million in
budget cuts will mean several
dozen layoffs of school staff, in-
cluding teachers and guidance
counselors, and the elimination
of programs that include tutoring
for struggling students and after-
school activities.
We have to meet tonight for
another $3 million (in cuts) and
we dont know where its coming
from, said school board presi-
dent Charlotte Hummel.
Last month, the Republican-
controlled House approved a
budget bill that would restore
about $600 million of the more
than $1.6 billion Corbett pro-
posed cutting for public schools
and state-supported universities.
That plandidnot use anyof the
surplus and instead
would cut about
$470 million from
the Department of
Public Welfare, elic-
iting fresh concerns
from advocates for
counties, hospitals,
the poor and ne-
glected.
Some of those
cuts would have to
be realized in sav-
ings through the
elimination of waste, fraud and
abuse. However, the Corbett ad-
ministration has questioned
whether that level of savings is re-
alistic and has asked lawmakers
to erase part of them, Corman
said.
Thats probably sort of the
biggest pieceout therethat needs
to be resolved, Corman said.
Legislative officials say they
can spend a portion of the sur-
plus to ease spending cuts but
keep the budget below $27.3 bil-
lion by shifting more than $300
million in health-related pro-
grams out of the states main
bank account, called the general
fund.
In his March proposal, Corbett
sought to move those programs
into the general fund. Those pro-
grams, paid for by money from a
legal settlement with tobacco
companies, historically have
been kept separate.
State budget is in final stages of negotiations
Top GOP lawmakers hope
spending plan can pass House
and Senate this week.

The member of the city-sponsored dragon boat that
capsized during races in the Susquehanna River
Sunday made the declaration after emerging from
the river with the wooden dragon head that had
detached from the bow of the vessel.
Cuts to music education
lacking rhyme or reason
C
restwoods proposed budget cuts will
have a detrimental effect on its stu-
dents for years to come. The proposed
state budget has placed the Board of Edu-
cation in a no-win situation.
Crestwood students will feel the effects
of the kindergarten cuts through grade 12,
as they will forever be one semester be-
hind. Recognizing the importance of exer-
cise, cutting elementary and junior high
sports makes no sense.
What about the cuts to music? Learning
to play a musical instrument stimulates
the development of both hemispheres of
the brain while developing complex motor
skills involved in ear-eye-hand-brain coor-
dination .
Music study deals with language, math,
history and the science of acoustics. These
skills are easily transferred to other dis-
ciplines. Research from around the world
has shown music is fundamental to the
creative, intellectual and emotional devel-
opment of all children. The earlier a child
begins studying an instrument, the greater
the neuronal activity. Early musical train-
ing helps develop brain areas involved in
language and reasoning. There is also a
causal link between music and spatial
intelligence (the ability to perceive the
world accurately and to form mental pic-
tures of things).
Students of the arts learn to think cre-
atively and to solve problems by imagining
various solutions, rejecting outdated rules
and assumptions. Recent studies also show
that students who study music are more
successful on standardized tests. They also
achieve higher grades in high school.
Data collected by Educational Testing
Services, which provide college entrance
examinations, indicate a strong connection
between test scores and instrumental
music study. Verbal and mathematic test
scores of high school seniors are signif-
icantly higher for those students who have
had seven or more years of instrumental
music study.
Childhood music study could pay off
decades later, even for those who no long-
er play an instrument, by keeping the
mind sharper as people age, according to a
preliminary study published by the Amer-
ican Psychological Association.
Musical activity throughout life may
serve as a challenging cognitive exercise,
making a brain fitter and more capable of
accommodating the challenges of aging.
Since studying an instrument requires
years of practice and learning, it may cre-
ate alternate connections in the brain that
could compensate for cognitive declines as
we get older.
Crestwoods instrumental music stu-
dents whose parents have spent hundreds
of dollars purchasing instruments with the
expectation of the availability of music
classes next year will now be stuck with an
expensive instrument and no classes.
The proposed Pennsylvania state budget
imposes harmful cuts on all Pennsylvania
students as well as our seniors, women,
and people with disabilities while gener-
ously rewarding major corporations and
CEOs. But there is a fix to the situation.
Its called the ballot box.

SADDLEHORN camp
ground affords a spectac-
ular vista of the sun setting
on the Colorado River as it
wends past Fruita far below.
Its a show worth catching
in Colorado National Monu-
ment.
Unfortunately, as we watched the red sun
dim and the city lights brighten, we were
missing an even better show, one on TV, to
which we had no access.
My wife and I had begun eight great days
hiking and sightseeing in the southern nex-
us of Colorado and Utah. At the same time,
Abington Heights eighth-grader Sukanya
Roy was working her way to the Scripps
National Spelling Bee championship.
And I mean working. I watched the finals
online after we got back. It was nearly three
tense hours of whiz kids spelling the likes of
exsufflation (forcible breathing out) and
bourride (a fish stew).
The finals started with 13 people, whittled
to five in three rounds. Those five hung on
through four more rounds thats 20 tough
words in a row spelled perfectly. To stay in
the hunt, Sukanya had to spell rapakivi (a
coarse, red granite in Finland); lakatoi (a
dugout double canoe of Australasia); zwis-
chenspiel (a musical interlude); and
preux (chivalrous).
The field started to slim when Sukanya
correctly spelled sangsue (a bloodsucking
worm), while Dakota Jones missed on zan-
ja (an irrigation ditch). Sukanya got le-
kane (a basin-shaped vessel), then naum-
keag (a machine that buffs shoe soles).
Two others went out by missing jugendstil
(a German decorative style) and galoubet
(a small flute).
Then there were two. Sukanya got orge-
at, a non-alcoholic drink from almonds;
Laura Newcombe got Hooroosh (an excited
state). Sukanya nailed Periscii (those who
live in a polar circle where shadows move
entirely around the compass some days).
Newcombe missed sorites (an aggregation
of more or less related things).
Sukanyas winning word is well known by
now: cymotrichous, having wavy hair.
The 14-year-old who won our regional bee
three consecutive years had outlasted 275
others through 20 rounds, tying the record
for longest Scripps Spelling Bee. She be-
came the seventh champ from Pennsylvania;
only one state Ohio has produced more
(nine).
Sukanya went on a mini-tour. Late-night
TV host Jimmy Kimmel challenged her to a
bee with a catch: The pronouncer, Kimmels
sidekick Guillermo, mangled words be-
yond comprehension. At one point Sukanya
asked if there was an alternate pronuncia-
tion. Kimmel laughed and said That is the
alternate pronunciation. Sukanya still man-
aged to spell soliloquy.
On Regis Philbins gabfest, producers
staged a bee using the pronouncer from the
national competition. Sukanya breezed
through it while Kelly Ripa flubbed
phlegm, then admitted we are idiots.
In all her appearances Sukanya kept her
poise and humility. Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia could scarcely ask for a better ambassa-
dor.
I loved the scenery of Arches and Can-
yonlands National Parks. The steam-power-
ed Colorado train excursion from Durango
to Silverton time-warped us to the 1800s.
But the best part of our vacation came when
Mary Therese called home and her mom
said Sukanya won the national bee.
As judges of the regional bee, MT and I
have seen great spellers win here who were
true contenders in Washington, and I be-
came convinced this area had plenty of
potential to produce a national champ.
Sukanya Roys hard work and focus
brought home more than a title. In a region
currently more famous for corruption scan-
dals, she brought us a little pride.
And I thank her.

OR MORE THAN a
decade, Pennsylvania
has maintained a spe-
cial fund to hold its
share of the tobacco company
lawsuit settlement with states
across the nation.
States sued to recoup smok-
ing-related health care costs,
and Pennsylvania used its
share solely for health related
purposes, including the adult-
Basic health insurance pro-
gram that ended in February.
However, this years pro-
posedstate budget wouldelim-
inate the dedicated account for
tobacco funds, roll most of the
money into the General Fund,
and divert $220 million away
from health care to a new busi-
ness loan program.
Its interesting that a gover-
nor who refuses to allow any
taxes or impact fees on natural
gas drilling to enter the Gener-
al Fund would propose doing
that very same thing withmon-
ey intended to maintain Penn-
sylvanians health.
We think the Tobacco Settle-
ment Fundought tobe devoted
solely to its original purpose of
health care, and certainly not
to increase the pool of money
available for business loans.
The state already has six busi-
ness loan programs, each of
which would be consolidated --
alongthe$220millionintobac-
co money -- into Corbetts pro-
posed Liberty Loan Fund.
The plan has other prob-
lems. It wouldspendtwoyears
worth of tobacco settlement
payments in one fiscal year.
That could create an even big-
ger funding crisis for health
care services down the road.
We recommend that 30 per-
cent be applied back to the
adultBasic program where it
belongs, perhaps cutting a
break to some of those 45,000
Pennsylvanians who lost their
health insurance after Corbett
decided that money would be
better spent elsewhere.

Mayor Tom
Leighton was all
wet Literally.
He dripped from pate to
sole, having emerged from the
Susquehanna a bit like the
creature fromthe blacklagoon,
an amphibian rising from total
submersion to walk on land.
The mayor who touts him-
self as saving Wilkes-Barre
from economic inun-
dation had just sunk
the city. OK, were
exaggerating com-
pletely. Leighton
was one of 21 crew
members in a city-
sponsored dragon
boat when - appar-
ently through no
fault of anyone on board - the
craft turned bottom-up during
a series of races held as part of
the RiverFest weekend.
The long, slim vessel sort
of a canoe on steroids had
completed one race and was
curving back upstreamto dock
when it abruptly dumped ev-
eryone into the drink. One mo-
torboat collected the soggy
paddlers (all wore mandatory
life jackets); another righted
the dragonboat andtowedit to
dock, filled to the gunwales
with river water.
As a TV cameraman pushed
a microphone into Leightons
soggy face, he cheerfully
blamed a motorboat carrying a
TV cameraman. The news
crew had zipped near the city-
manned ship for a close up
shot, then powered away too
fast, creating a high wake that
hit the dragon boat broadside.
Everyone was in the pool be-
fore you could say re-elect
me!
Its always the medias
fault, Leighton said with
tongue in cheek (we hope).
Wethinkthemayor deserves
kudos for remaining upbeat af-
ter floating down-
stream without a
paddle or boat.
And the city crew
didnt shirk either,
readily remount-
ingthat dragonfor
a second and third
race though we
note Leightonwas
absent for the latter two heats;
off to more city stuff, were
sure.
Infact, the city andeveryone
involved in the constantly
growing RiverFest merit acco-
lades for shaking off this lone
glitch in an otherwise well-run
event. We hope someday
(soon), to see RiverFest sprawl
along both banks, giving vis-
itors numerous entertainment
and educational opportunities.
We take the boat-tipping as
metaphor for a city that comes
backwheneveryone declares it
sunk.
Besides, the goal of River-
Fest is to bring people closer to
the Susquehanna. Wed say the
city dragon boat crew wins an
award in that department.
OUR OPINION: ANNUAL EVENT
RiverFest propels
the city forward
We take the boat-
tipping as
metaphor for a
city that comes
back when others
declare it sunk.

wages and benefits.
Leonard instructed the county
to file paperwork with the Penn-
sylvania Labor Relations Board
within20 days documentingthat
it has complied with the order.
Commissioner Chairwoman
Maryanne Petrilla said she ex-
pects the county to appeal the
ruling.
Paula Schnelly, head of the
countys AFSCME union, cele-
brated the decision.
Werethrilledthat thehearing
examiner ruled in our favor be-
cause we knewthat what was oc-
curringwas wrongright fromthe
get-go, Schnelly said.
She said the 36 workers effec-
tively performed their job place-
ment and training work and said
their salaries had been covered
by state and federal funding. Its
unclear whether the payment of
lost wages and benefits would
have to come out of the countys
general fund operating budget or
this pot of state and federal fund-
ing.
The termination of the compa-
nies who now handle this work
could also lead to breach of con-
tract legal action. Those compa-
nies are Employment Data Sys-
tems Inc., ReDCo Group and Ar-
bor Employment & Training.
Schnelly said only one of the
36 workers had been called back
tocountyemployment. Someare
still out of work, while an un-
known number accepted em-
ployment with the new compa-
nies.
These employees had to go
throughsuchhardshipdue tothe
actions of the commissioners,
Schnelly said. This is a wrong
made right.
Petrilla said commissioners
must reviewthe examiners deci-
sion and discuss it with legal
counsel.
The commissioners were pow-
erless to prevent the layoffs be-
cause the state wanted the job
placement and training work to
be awarded through a public bid-
ding process, known as requests-
for-proposals, or RFPs, Petrilla
said.
The state point blank told us
that if we didnt RFP the service
and get the best product, theyd
pull out funding. If we didnt do
anything, wed lose our funding,
Petrilla said.
The county department in
which the 36 employees were as-
signed had submitted a proposal
to try to keep the work, but it
wasnt selected.
The proposal that the work
force agency put together was
worse than sub-par, so they
didnt get the bid. Thats what
happened, Petrilla said.
The Luzerne-Schuylkill Work-
force Investment Board, which
selected the three companies,
predicated more accountability
and improved services with the
new providers, allowing more
funding to be spent on clients.
The state allocates roughly $11
million for the jobs programs.
Members of the 37-person
board, many business leaders,
are appointed by commissioners
in Luzerne and Schuylkill coun-
ties.

duced to $45,358 by an appellate
court.
The Third Circuit Court of Ap-
peals upheld the verdict, which
led to the appeal to the Supreme
Court. The high court agreed to
accept the appeal to resolve a dis-
pute among federal appellate
courts regarding the interpreta-
tion of the petition clause of the
First Amendment, which pro-
tects a persons right to petition
the government.
Federal courts have long held
that a public employee who alleg-
es retaliation for exercising free
speech must show that the mat-
ter they spoke about was an issue
of public importance, such as ex-
posing wrongdoing. Guarnieris
case hinged on an action taken
against him for filing a union
grievance, which is a private mat-
ter.
The Third Circuit Court had
ruled that the public impor-
tance standard did not apply to
Guarnieris case because he had
filed a petition, as opposed to
speaking out at a public meeting.
Citing a prior court ruling, the
court said a petition differs from
the free speech component of the
First Amendment in that it does
not require an employee to show
the issue was a matter of public
importance.
The Supreme Court disagreed
with the Third Circuits ruling.
In an opinion authored by Jus-
tice Anthony Kennedy, the court
expressed concern that provid-
ing different standards for em-
ployment disputes based on how
the dispute was filed would lead
to abuses within the court sys-
tem.
Kennedy noted that the public
importance standard is in place
precisely to ensure the courts are
not clogged up in deciding rou-
tine employment disputes that
can be resolved through other
channels. If the court were to find
the public importance standard
does not apply to petitions, every
government action could present
a potential federal constitutional
issue, Kennedy said.
Budget priorities, personnel
decisions and substantive poli-
cies might all be laid before the
jury, Kennedy said. It would al-
so consume the time and atten-
tionof public officials, burdenthe
exercise of legitimate authority
and blur the lines of accountabil-
ity between officials and the pub-
lic.
The ruling is a major victory,
but it does not end the case, Me-
halchick said.
The court directed the case be
returned to the Third Circuit
Court, which must now take a
new look at whether Guarnieris
grievance petition raised any is-
sue that is a matter of public con-
cern.
Should the court determine it
did raise an issue of public con-
cern, the verdict would stand. If
not, the verdict would be negat-
ed.
Guarnieris attorney, Cynthia
Pollick of Pittston, did not return
a phone message seeking com-
ment.

servation groups trying to force
cuts in greenhouse gas emissions
from power plants.
The court said that the author-
ity to seek reductions in emis-
sions rests with the Environmen-
tal Protection Agency, not the
courts.
Columbia University law pro-
fessor John Coffee said the Wal-
Mart ruling all but sounds the
death knell for class-action suits
against employers that seek mon-
ey. This significantly changes
the balance between employers
and employees. And it largely
eliminates the monetary threat
facing big employers, he said.
Lawsuits are expensive to bring,
and if there is no money relief at
the end of the road, there is no in-
centive tobringthe suit, he said.
The Wal-Mart case has been
seen as a key test of whether civil
rights lawyers, armed with com-
puter-generated data on wages,
could force the nations largest
employer to stand trial and face
billions of dollars in potential lia-
bility. Had they won against Wal-
Mart, other similar suits against
nationwide retailers were in the
offing.
While the justices all agreed
that the employees had no right
to group damages under the
court rule they cited in their suit,
that unanimity masked a funda-
mental split largely along gender
lines over the extent of discrimi-
nation at Wal-Mart and the
amount of proof required to pro-
ceed with a class action.
Speaking for a 5-4 conservative
majority in the central holding,
Scalia said this class-action claim
and others like it are doomed
without convincing proof of a
companywide discriminatory
pay and promotion policy.
Pointing to a provision of the
federal rules of civil procedure re-
quiring a class action to have
questions of lawor fact common
to the class, Scalia said this suit
does not get to first base.
He said Wal-Mart has 3,400
stores spread across the United
States and leaves it up to store
managers to decide on pay levels
and promotions.
In a company of Wal-Marts
size and geographical scope, it is
quite unbelievable that all man-
agers would exercise their discre-
tion in a common way without
some common direction, Scalia
said. Significant proof that Wal-
Mart operates under a general
policy of discrimination is entire-
ly absent here, he said.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts
Jr. and Justices Anthony M. Ken-
nedy, Clarence Thomas and Sa-
muel A. Alito Jr. agreed with Sca-
lia in Wal-Mart v. Dukes.
Scalia said this suit was flawed
for another reason. Asingle class-
action claim that supposedly
speaks for a huge number of per-
sons does not entitle all of them
to an individualized award of
monetary damages.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, joined
by Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Ka-
gan, and Stephen G. Breyer,
agreed that Wal-Mart could not
be forced to pay damages to all
these women without individual
hearings under one court rule,
but arguedforciblythat there was
substantial evidence of discrimi-
nation and that the case should
have been allowed to proceed.
Ginsburg, who specialized in
cases involving gender discrimi-
nation before joining the court,
pointed to data obtained from
Wal-Mart that painted a portrait
of a company culture that was
biased against them. For exam-
ple, while women hold about 70
percent of the hourly jobs, they
make up only 33 percent of the
management employees.
The decision did not absolve
Wal-Mart of theallegations that it
had short-changed its female em-
ployees. Rather, the justices de-
cided only that the suit did not fit
within the rules for class-action
claims. Individuals will still be
free to file discrimination suits.

address the preliminary findings
in advance of the final issuance
of the report, which he did not,
the boards statement said.
Just as CityVest fully cooper-
ated with the controllers inqui-
ry, we hope to be given the op-
portunity to submit a response
to the controller to correct the
errors, the statement said.
Griffiths office got involved
because the county loaned
CityVest $6 million in communi-
ty development funding to ac-
quire and preserve the building.
That money is gone and was
largely spent to make the parcel
larger and demolish a 14-story
high-rise and connector building
at the rear of the 113-year-old ho-
tel.
Griffith said the audit was
based on a comprehensive re-
view of records and said the
work made him conclude that
commissioners must do more to
ensure the community develop-
ment office is monitoring the
spending of such loans.
The audit found no material
financial misstatements.
Amongtheexpenditures ques-
tioned in the audit was a
$628,000 payment to purchase a
West Market Street parcel adja-
cent to the hotel from Gregory
and Stephanie Lull in March
2006.
CityVest paid the Lulls
$325,000. A year after the pur-
chase, CityVest paidoff $303,000
in liens tied to the property for
Wilkes-Barres expenses tearing
down the rundown structures
that had been at the site when
the property was owned by the
Lulls.
Theaudit notes that CityVests
purchase agreement with the
Lulls said title to the property
shall be free and clear of all liens.
The agreement gave CityVest
the option to deduct liens from
the purchase price, the audit
says.
The amount paid for the lien
should have been deducted from
thesalepriceof $325,000. There-
fore, CityVest overpaid for the
property in the amount of
$303,000.00, the audit says.
The audit also points out that
there were two appraisals for
this parcel in the county loan pa-
perwork valuing the property at
$325,000 in June 2005 and
$309,000 in August 2005. The
audit says CityVest should have
paid an amount closer to the
most recent appraisal.
The countys community de-
velopment office should re-
search the possibility of reclaim-
ing the $303,000 spent on the
liens from the city or the former
property owners, the audit said.
Whenthe lienpayment was re-
cently reported in a news article,
CityVests Board of Directors re-
leased a statement saying the
liens were paid at the citys re-
quest. Thecityhadpledgedinre-
turn to identify future grant
funds to invest in the project, the
board said.
The CityVest board statement
released Monday painted the
Sterlings outlook if the nonprof-
it had not intervened. The prop-
erty wouldstill be inthe hands of
an out-of town owner mired in
bankruptcy and riddled with
more than1,000 tons of asbestos
and other environmentally haz-
ardous materials, the statement
said. Millions in back taxes and
other liens woulddiscourage pri-
vate developers, and the hotel
tower and connector buildings
would still be standing and in
need of immediate demolition.
To use a medical analogy, if a
surgeon only operates on
healthy people with routine ail-
ments, the success rate is likely
to be high. In contrast, a surgeon
who works on the most acute
and severe cases is likely to have
a lower success rate, the state-
ment said, noting that the Ster-
ling site is an acute case.
CityVest investedthese funds
to make the site healthier and
more attractive to a private de-
veloper, it said.
CityVest officials have asked
the county to take over the pro-
ject and determine whether the
structure will be fully or partially
saved or demolished. All three
commissioners have said CityV-
est should make the call to tear
down the structure and find the
money to pay for demolition,
thoughthey may assist inobtain-
ing a $1million U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment (HUD) demolition grant.
Four people currentlyserve on
the CityVest Board of Directors:
Judd Shoval, the Rev. Thomas
OHara of Kings College, attor-
ney Richard Goldberg and Dr.
Brian ODonnell. Three seats on
the board are vacant.

In the world these two lived
in, it happened all the time, she
snapped, alluding to the cash
payments government prosecu-
tors allege the former majority
commissioners gained in ex-
change for county contracts
from 2004 to 2007.
Graham said Cordaro lied
about the money he handled, in-
cluding just how many of his
payroll checks from Lackawan-
na County were cashed.
He liedabout that andhe lied
when he said he didnt commit
these crimes, she told the jury.
The pair had each others
back when it came to impor-
tant votes on county contracts,
and they used cash contribu-
tions to their political campaign
for their own personal gains.
Did any of the cash get to the
campaign accounts? Uh-uh,
Graham said. Where did it go?
In their pockets.
In their defense, Costopoulos
and Munchaks attorney, Chris
Powell, said the testimony of
government witnesses who re-
ceived immunity should be
viewed with great caution.
The government, Powell added,
failed to produce documenta-
tiononthe allegedmeetings and
phone conversations between
Munchak and Don Kalina, the
Highland Associates executive
that government prosecutors
say passed $30,000 cash pay-
ments twice to Munchak and
once to Cordaro.
But its West Scranton funeral
home director Al Hughes, ac-
cording to Costopoulos, who
will carry the day with 36 al-
leged monthly payments of
$10,000 each to Cordaro on be-
half of Acker Associates. Costo-
poulos called Hughes a con-
summate scam artist who had
tosupport his degenerate behav-
ior a gambling habit that sup-
posedly included $10,000-per-
hand blackjack bets at a casino
in the Bahamas in the
mid-2000s.
Ten thousand dollars was Al
Hughes signature number,
Costopoulos said, claiming that
checks to Cordaro for that
amount were for bets he made
with the then-majority commis-
sioner over a Notre Dame-Mi-
chigan football game and the
pending sale of Montage Moun-
tain and not fees Acker paid him
as a so-called marketing con-
sultant.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney
Bruce Brandler said the case
boils down to the two men who
divided Lackawanna County
like a private kingdom and de-
manded tribute payments
from business owners.
This is a classic pay-to-play
scheme, he said in his rebuttal.
Brandler said character as-
sassinations of Hughes and Ka-
lina were meant to distract the
jury from determining the facts
of the case.
The trial is expected to re-
sume at 9:30 a.m. today at the
WilliamJ. Nealon Federal Build-
ing in Scranton.

H
e was the biggest and loudest bat
of the only Governors Cup cham-
pionship season Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre ever had, the unquestioned leader
of a run to the top, forever imprinted
around here as the face of a big winner.
Maybe thats why Shelley Duncan
spent the whole weekend hearing big
cheers when he came back.
He is with Triple-A Columbus now,
after spending most of last season and
the start of this one with the parent Cle-
veland Indians. It doesnt mean Duncan
quickly forgot where he was raised in the
game of baseball.
And if the power-packed, 31-year-old
outfielder/first baseman/designated hitter
was somehowtrying to bury his past, fans
of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
wouldnt let him. Starting fromthe minute
they sawhimback at PNCField.
They cheered Duncan loudly and en-
thusiastically whenever he stepped to the
plate or made a play in the field, from the
first pitch to the last of the whole three-
game series against their Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees.
I was lucky to have that for three years
when I was here, Duncan said. Very
good fans here. Really good people in this
area. I really enjoyed my time here,
whether in the field or off the field.
He enjoyed catching up with all those
old, familiar faces, like when former SWB
Yankees general manager Jeremy Ruby
stopped by the visitors clubhouse Sunday
to say hello to Duncan.
But all the warmth in Northeastern
Pennsylvania wasnt enough to stop Dun-
can from saying goodbye.
Because applause and enthusiasm
werent going to get himto the big
leagues. And neither were the NewYork
Yankees, who outrighted Duncan to
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following another
strong Triple-A season for himin 2009.
Duncan refused that assignment, and
instead signed as a free agent with Cleve-
land - where he spent most of last season
and the first 2 1/2 months of this one
playing in the American League instead
of the International League.
Its going well, Duncan said. The big
clubs doing well this year, this (Colum-
bus) teams playing great. Its a lot of fun
being a part of this. Its fun baseball.
Things turned a little sour for him
when the Indians demoted Duncan June
7, little more than a week after he deliver-
ed a pinch-hit two-run single to help win
thema game against Tampa Bay.
Nothing I need to work on. They had
to do it, Duncan said of his move back to
Triple-A. I had an option left. The poli-
tics of the game kind of made that deci-
sion for me.
He became accustomed to such ma-
neuvering coming up with the Yankees.
Duncan slugged a franchise-record 25
home runs in 2007, then walloped12
more while driving home 44 runs in 58
games to spark Scranton/Wilkes-Barres
Governors Cup title in 2008.
But despite some success with parent
NewYork, where Duncan hit eight home
runs and had 23 RBI over his first 57
major league games over those two sea-
sons, the Yankees designated himfor
assignment before the start of 2009. He
cleared waivers, and came back to Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre to hit 30 home runs in
2009 and break his own franchise record.
I had some great experiences that I
can look back on and really enjoy, Dun-
can said. Very fond of my time in that
organization.
The whole weekend proved theyre still
fond of him. The color of his uniform
may be different, but his past will never
change.

briefing about Albert Pujols injury
that killed the mood at Tony La
Russas charity golf event, the St.
Louis Cardinals manager let down
his guard.
Im going to go find a place to

Pujols will be out an estimated
six weeks witha fracturedleft wrist
from a first-base collision over the
weekend. Baseball will be without
a three-time NL MVP and the Car-
dinals, tied for first in the NL Cen-
tral, are left to absorb another dev-

You cant replace a player of his
magnitude, general manager John
Mozeliak said. It just seems like
weve hadtodeal withone injury af-
ter another.
We still have to find ways to win
games, and thats what well do.
The team announced the results
of an MRI and CT scan Monday,
one day after Pujols was injured
during a home game against Kan-
sas City. The injury is a non-dis-
placed fracture of the left radius
bone and his arm is in a splint.
Mozeliak said he hoped to have
Pujols back by the beginning of Au-
gust and the team anticipated no
lingeringeffects fromwhat the gen-
eral manager described as a small
fracture. Mozeliak said Pujols left

STATE COLLEGE Before Mon-
daymorning, the twohadnever met. By
Monday afternoon, they were Martin
and Lewis.
Filming a show for ESPN, JoePa and
Coach Kfell into a routine like they had
been touring college campuses for
years.
Yes, there were the expected plati-
tudes from both coaching legends
about leadership, family and sustained
success. Penn States Joe Paterno has
the most wins (401) in the history of
major college football. Dukes Mike
Krzyzewski (900) is just three wins
away fromcapturing the same record in
major college basketball. Both men
have student-populated tent towns
named after them.
But there were also criticisms of the
NCAA and its antiquated rulebook
along with a hearty helping of one-lin-
ers.
The program, Difference Makers:

zewski, was taped in front of an audi-
ence of students, alumni, administra-
tors andmedia members at PennStates

MOOSIC The Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees
seemed to have found the per-
fect winning combination:
Get seven strong innings
from the
starter and
let the bull-
pen close it
out.
For their
only two vic-
tories out of
five games
on the current eight-game
homestand, thats how the
Yankees inched out a victory.
On Monday night at PNC Field,
Adam Warren threw 6 2/3 innings be-
fore allowing his first hit and only al-
lowed two hits in his seven innings of
work to help Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
defeat Norfolk 2-0.
Lance Pendleton closed out the
game with two hitless frames.
When SWB defeated Columbus on
Saturday, Greg Smith went seven in-
nings just giving up one hit and An-
drew Brackman pitched the final two
innings to preserve a 4-0 shutout.
You cant ask for a better start,
SWB manager Dave Miley said. He
was outstanding for us.
On Monday, Warren, a
right-hander only walked two
en route to 98 pitches, 60 of
them for strikes as he fanned
a season-high eight.
He also kept Tides hitters
off-balance inducing seven
groundball outs, two liners
and six recorded on lazy fly
balls.
And with two outs in the
seventh, he gave up a pair of
humpback line drive singles
to Josh Bell and Rhyne
Hughes for the only hits of the
night for the Tides.
I definitely knew I had (a
no-hitter) at that point but I
took it as a challenge and
didnt try to be nervous, Warren said.
Unfortunately I gave up that hit. I was
just trying to attack these guys and use
all my pitches. I didnt change any-
thing. Obviously, I wasnt happy giving
up

CINCINNATI Alex Rodri-
guez started New Yorks four-
run first inning with an RBI
single, and rookie Ivan Nova
handled the NLs most prolific
offense for eight innings, lead-
ing the Yankees to a 5-3 victory
over the Cincinnati Reds on
Monday night.
The Yankees have won nine
of 11, moving a season-best 13
games over .500 at 42-29. Their
high-powered offense has led
the way.
New York started fast
against left-hander Travis
Wood (5-5), who made an
unexpected start. Originally
scheduled to pitch on Tuesday,
he was moved up a day when
Johnny Cueto showed up with
a stiff neck.
Nova (7-4) won his third
straight start, allowing a run
and four singles without walk-
ing a batter.
Braves 2, Blue Jays 0
ATLANTA Tim Hudson
pitched eight scoreless innings
and hit his second career home
run in the Atlanta Braves vic-
tory over the Toronto Blue
Jays.
Hudson (6-6) allowed two
hits, one walk and struck out a
season-high eight, including
the 1,600th of his career. He
took Ricky Romero (6-7) deep
to make it 2-0 with two outs in
the sixth.
Toronto has lost two straight
and five of seven.
Hudson retired 20 straight
batters before Mike McCoy
walked to lead off the ninth
and advanced to second on
Yunel Escobars infield single.
Closer Craig Kimbrel struck
out Corey Patterson, Jose Bau-
tista and Adam Lind to earn
his 20th save in 25 chances.
Rockies 8, Indians 7
CLEVELAND Jason
Giambis gigantic three-run
homer in Colorados six-run
fifth inning off Fausto Carmona
sent the Rockies to a win over
Cleveland, the Indians first
loss in seven interleague games
this season.
Giambis 440-foot shot his
422nd career homer against
Carmona (4-9) helped the
Rockies win for the fifth time
in six games and get back to
.500 for the first time since
May 25. The 40-year-old Giam-
bi will get more at-bats with
the Rockies on the road in AL
ballparks for the next five
games.
This weekend, hell be back
in Yankee Stadium, where he
starred in pinstripes from 2002-
08.
Matt Lindstrom (2-1), the
second of five Rockies reliev-
ers, got the win. Huston Street
worked the ninth for his NL-
leading 21st save in 23 chances.
Orioles 8, Pirates 3
PITTSBURGH Nick Mar-
kakis had three hits and Jake
Arrieta moved into a tie for the
American League lead in wins
as the Baltimore Orioles
pounded the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates.
Arrieta (9-4) gave up three
runs over five innings and even
added his first major league hit
to became the first Orioles
pitcher to reach nine wins by
June 20 since Sidney Ponson in
2003.
Though Arrieta wasnt dom-
inant, he didnt have to be
thanks to an offense that
springs to life whenever hes on
the mound.
The Orioles average 6.5 runs
per game when Arrieta starts.
They needed just two innings
to top that mark against strug-
gling starter Charlie Morton
(7-4) to hand the Pirates their
fourth straight loss.
Red Sox 14, Padres 5
BOSTON Adrian Gon-
zalez drove in three runs with a
single and double in a 10-run
seventh inning against his
former team and the hot-hit-
ting Boston Red Sox rolled to a
win over the struggling San
Diego Padres.
Gonzalez boosted his major
league-leading RBI total to 67
since the Padres, unable to
give him a lucrative contract,
traded him to the Red Sox in
the offseason for three top
prospects. He went 3 for 5 to
increase his batting average to
.353, also the best in the ma-
jors.
Tied at 3 going into the
seventh, Gonzalez drove in the
go-ahead run with a one-out
double. After Kevin Youkilis
flied out, the Red Sox scored
nine more runs.
Rangers 8, Astros 3
ARLINGTON, Texas Josh
Hamilton hit a two-run triple,
Adrian Beltre had a pair of RBI
singles and the Texas Rangers
opened the Lone Star Series
with a victory over the Hous-
ton Astros.
The AL West leaders scored
in each of the first three in-
nings to build a quick 7-0 lead.
Mitch Moreland led off the
eighth with a homer that land-
ed halfway up in the second
deck of seats in right field, a
drive estimated at 455 feet.
Derek Holland (6-2) pitched
into the eighth for his first win
at home in nearly two months.
J.A. Happ (3-9) lost his fifth
straight decision in a span of
seven starts.
Cubs 6, White Sox 3
CHICAGO Carlos Zam-
brano kept his cool this time
after a tough first inning, Car-
los Pena hit a three-run homer
and Starlin Castro drove in
three runs as the Chicago Cubs
rallied to beat the White Sox.
The first matchup of six this
season between the crosstown
rivals with losing records drew
a crowd of 36,005 at U.S. Cellu-
lar Field on a 75-degree night.
White Sox manager Ozzie
Guillen was ejected in the sixth
inning after apparently arguing
that a ball hit near the plate by
Alexei Ramirez should have
been ruled foul.

MIAMI (AP) New Florida
Marlins interim manager Jack
McKeon sat listening as team
president David Samson offered
a spirited defense of the decision
to give the job to an octogenar-
ian.
Samson said the 80-year-old
McKeonworks harder thanmany
people half his age and seems
even sharper mentally than in
2003, whenthe ledthe Marlins to
an improbable World Series
championship.
Inresponse tothe comments, a
grinning McKeon intentionally
messed up Samsons name.
Thanks, George, McKeon
said.
The new, old skipper drew
some laughs at his re-introducto-
ry news conference Monday, but
the hiring was no joke. Nearly six
years after McKeon retired as the
Marlins manager, he returned to
his former job onaninterimbasis
and will lead the teamfor the rest
of the season.
He becomes the second-oldest
manager in major league history.
Connie Mack managed the Phila-
delphia Athletics in a suit, tie and
strawhat until 1950, whenhe was
87.
McKeon will wear a uniform
with No. 25.
Ive managed since I was 14
years old, he jokingly said. Ill
probably manage until Im 95.
The cigar-chomping McKeon
succeeds manager Edwin Rodri-
guez, who resigned before Sun-
days loss at Tampa Bay. Last-
place Florida took a 10-game los-
ing streak into Monday nights
matchup at home against the Los
Angeles Angels.
McKeons first lineup card
caused a stir, because it didnt in-
clude 2009 NL batting champion
Hanley Ramirez, who has been in
a slump all season.
I didnt think he was running
very good (Sunday), said McKe-
on, who watchedthe game onTV
fromhis home in North Carolina.
Ramirez has been battling a sore
back but also has a reputation for
a lack of hustle, and McKeon de-
clined to say which he thought
was the issue.
Ramirez had no complaint
about beingheldout of the lineup
and said he welcomed McKeons
old-school approach.
Hes going to get on everybo-
dy here, Ramirez said. If you
dont play hard, youre not going
to be here.
Teammate Logan Morrison
agreed that was a good thing.
We have a lot of guys who Ed-
win said dont hustle or play
hard, Morrison said. Maybe
Jack can kick them in the butt.
McKeon had been working
part time as a special assistant to
teamowner JeffreyLoria. His hir-
ing came with the Marlins trying
to end a three-week free-fall that
had seen them go 1-18 in June.
I feel 80 years old myself the
last three weeks, president of
baseball operations Larry Bein-
fest said. Its good to have a
friend in a time of need, and this
is a time of needfor this organiza-
tion. Jack can get the attention of
a teamvery quickly and get them
moving in the right direction.
The Marlins are expected to
hire another manager after this
season before moving into their
new ballpark next April. But if
McKeon can pull off a repeat of
2003, he might get a multiyear
contract.
That team was floundering
when he took over in May, and he
led it to a title, with postseason
wins over the Giants, Cubs and
Yankees.
McKeon gets another chance to revive Marlins

OMAHA, Neb. NorthCar-
olina freshman left-hander
Kent Emanuel pitched the first
complete-game shutout at the
College World Series in five
years in a 3-0 victory that elim-
inated Texas on Monday.
Emanuel limited the Long-
horns to four singles in his
third win of the NCAA tourna-
ment and first career shutout.
Jacob Stallings hit a two-run
single in the third inning and
Ben Bunting finished a four-hit
day with an RBI double in the
ninth for the Tar Heels (51-15),
who play Vanderbilt or Florida
on Wednesday.
Texas (49-19) went two
games and out for the second
time in 25 CWS appearances
since 1966 and for the fourth
time in its record 34 trips to
Omaha. The last time was in
2000.
Emanuel walked one and
struck out five. North Caroli-
nas Robert Woodard pitched
the last shutout here, blanking
Clemson in 2006. The last
freshman to do it was LSUs
Brett Laxton in 1993 against
Wichita State.

WIMBLEDON, England
Anyone at Wimbledona year ago,
it seems, remembers bits and
pieces of the longest match in
tennis history, the11-hour, 5-min-
ute marathon between John Isn-
er and Nicolas Mahut.
It stretched over three days be-
fore Isner won 70-68 in the fifth
set.
Get ready for the rematch,
scheduled to begin today at the
All England Club. Fittingly, per-
haps, Isner-Mahut II might not
finish Tuesday. Thats because
theirs is the fourth match on tap
for Court 3 and the forecast
calls for rain.
Court 3 holds 1,980 spectators,
about 1,200 more than tiny Court
18, whichnowbears a plaque not-
ingit was the site of the 2010orig-
inal Isner-Mahut.
Their rematch has been the
talkof the tennis worldever since
they were randomly selected to
face each other again in the first
round in Fridays draw.
I thought, Oh, this is a joke.
And I thought, Well, is it really
real? Is it really true? Serena
Williams said.
Rafael Nadal said that when he
heard the news, he felt sorry for
them.
Right after the draw, Andy
Murray suggested in a tweet that
this years match between Amer-
ican Isner and Frenchman Mahut
should be on Centre Court. But
Wimbledon announced the
Court 3 placement Monday, Day
1 of the grass-court Grand Slam
tournament.
Their match last year was in-
credible. Its not going to happen
again. It will never happen
again, Murray said. I feel for
thema little bit that people might
be hyping the match up a lot, and
its not going to be the same
scoreline.
Asked what he recalls fromthe
original Isner-Mahut match,
Murray said: Like, youd go and
practice and then youd come
back, and youd be like, Oh, its
still going. Then youd go, like,
for lunch, come back, its, like, 34-
all. Its just weird. Every time you
would go away and do some-
thing, you were sort of preparing
yourself for the next match. They
were just going for so long. It was
amazing.
Roger Federer said players will
be monitoring this years re-
match closely.
Its great for tennis. Its a great
buzz. It was anamazingstory last
year, Federer said. They would
have had a bit of a focus this year
anyway, coming back, but with
the rematch, it gives Mahut a
chance to redeem himself from
last year.
Isner has said hed like eventu-
ally to accomplish something
else in tennis such as winning
a Grand Slam championship
so people dont associate himim-
mediately with his long, long,
long match.
Mahut, for his part, said in an
interview during the French

WIMBLEDON, England
Dressed much like the god-
dess with whom she shares a
name, Venus Williams is quite
the fashion plate at Wimble-
don.
The five-time champion is
wearing a white romper an
all-in-one outfit with shorts
and cutout sleeves and a big
triangle cut out the back. The
playsuit has a V neckline
and is adorned with a gold
belt and zipper in the front.
Williams says its a jumper,
and jumpers are very now,
as is lace. She also likes the
draping shoulders, which she
calls in the moment. She
says: Its just kind of like a
trendy dress. Its fun.
Williams routed Akgul
Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan
6-3, 6-1 Monday to reach the
second round.

fortable, perfect. Personally, I
wouldnt wear this, because its
not going to look good on me.
But if its white, you can play.
Thats the rule. If everybody
wears the same, its boring.
Williams outfit and, of
course, superb play, which be-
trayed no lingering effects from
her injurygeneratedthemost
buzz on Day 1 in the 125th edi-
tion of the grass-court Grand
Slamtournament.
I do realize I dont have as
many matches, said Williams,
only 5-2 this season and only 9-3
since last July. So, yeah, for
sure, I know I need to kind of
come out firing. Been pretty
goodat that inthepast andto-
day.
Others reaching the second
round included 10-time major
champion Rafael Nadal, whose
parents sat inthe Royal Boxdur-
ing his 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over
90th-ranked Michael Russell of
Houston; No. 4 Andy Murray,
andNo. 10 Mardy Fish.
It was Nadals first chance to
play the tournaments opening
match on Centre Court, an hon-
or given to the defending mens
champion, and something he
called a big emotion. Bad
knees forced Nadal to withdraw
in2009, ayearafterhewonWim-
bledonfor the first time.
He was more blase about his
parents special seats, saying: It
doesnt make any difference to
me whether I see them in my
(guest) box or in the Royal Box.
But I think it was a beautiful ex-
perience for them.
Nadal now faces another
American, 69th-ranked Ryan
Sweetingof Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.,
who dropped the first two sets
against Pablo Andujar of Spain
before coming all the way back
to win3-6, 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 6-1.
Itll be Sweetings thirdmatch
against Nadal this year. Nadal
won the others in straight sets,
including at the Australian
Open.
They keep putting me up in
the top half of the draw. I dont
know what the deal is, Sweet-
ing said. What can I say? Hes
obviouslyoneof thetoughestop-
ponents to play onany surface.
The second question at Na-
dals news conference con-
cernedwhetherhebelievesMur-
ray, Roger Federer or NovakDjo-
kovic is likeliest to thwart his ti-
tle hopes.
My biggest opponent is
Sweeting now. I am focused on
my part of the draw. Imfocused
on myself. To play against Andy
or Djokovic or Federer only can
be in the final; against Andy in
the semifinals, the Spaniard re-
plied. So lets talk about today.
Lets talk about tomorrow. ...
Lets (not) talk about ... 10 days
or12 days (fromnow), because I
dont know if I am here or I am
fishing inMallorca.
Four seeded players exited
Monday, includingNo. 28Ekate-
rina Makarova of Russia, who
was beaten 2-6, 6-1, 8-6 by 19-
year-oldChristinaMcHaleof En-
glewood Cliffs, N.J. McHale en-
tered the day 1-6 in Grand Slam
matches. No.17KaiaKanepi lost
to Sara Errani 6-1, 6-4, No. 22
Shahar Peer was eliminated 5-7,
6-4, 6-4 by Ksenia Pervak, and
No. 30 Thomaz Bellucci was
sent home in straight sets by 35-
year-old Rainer Schuettler, the
oldest maninthe field.
Otherwise, the most signifi-
cant development probably was
the rain that began falling at
about 5p.m., resultinginthesus-
pension of 14 matches in pro-
gress and the postponement of
17 others.
Two matches were played un-
der the retractable roof, which
was added to Centre Court be-
fore the 2009 tournament. That
included two-time Wimbledon
semifinalist Murrays 4-6, 6-3,
6-0, 6-0 victory over 59th-ranked
Daniel Gimeno-Traver of Spain.
Murray is trying to give Britain
its first male champion at any
Grand Slam tournament since
1936, and he overcame a slow
start against Gimeno-Traver, a
first-round loser for the eighth
time in12 major tournaments.
Earlier, in a match tied 1-1 in
the third set when rain began
falling, Francesca Schiavone
the2010championand2011run-
ner-up at the French Open
beat Jelena Dokic 6-4, 1-6, 6-3.
For me, personally, Wimble-
don is with no roof, said Schia-
vone, who said she got a chance
toget advicefromher coachdur-
ingthe50-minutedelayinaction
while the court was covered.
But its great for Englishpeople
to have the roof.
Williams stopped one game

AustralianOpeninJanuaryafter
aggravating her hurt hip. She re-
turned to action last week at a
grass-court tuneup tournament
in Eastbourne, going 2-1 there,
andMondaylookednothinglike
someone who was rusty.
Because she hasnt played
much at all over the last 12
months, Williams thought she
had a little pressure on me to
come out andswing as usual.
She made zero unforced er-
rors inthe secondset, takingthe
last six games and the last 12
points. She claimed 15 of the fi-
nal 17 points she served.
On her serve, it was almost
impossible, Amanmuradova
said, opening her eyes wide. I
actually never played anyone on
the tour serving as hard and as
fast as she does.
Williams, once ranked No. 1,
dropped to 33rd this month.

One message read: Believe in
yourself and never give up. An-
other simply said: Make histo-
ry.
The words of support from
Facebook fans printed on Andy
Murrays racket bag looked as if
they might be having the oppo-
site effect Monday when he drop-
ped his first set at Wimbledon.
Then, as if flicking on a switch,
Murray reeled off 15 consecutive
games for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 victo-
ry over Daniel Gimeno-Traver to
reach the second round.
Gimeno-Traver began the
match confidently under the roof
at Centre Court andhit some par-
ticularly good forehands, but by
the end, the 56th-ranked Spa-
niard looked every bit the player
who has lost in the first round at
eight of his 12 Grand Slam tour-
naments.
And Murrays unusual bag
the brainchild of his racket spon-
sor didnt end up being con-
signed to history. Murray said it
might even turn out to be a
source of inspiration in the fu-
ture.
I didnt today, but a lot of play-
ers in the past have done it with
having notes in their bag, and
some have had things written on
like their rackets or something,
on the back of their hand, he
said. Players have done those
sort of things a lot in the past.
And, yeah, something I could do
if I felt like I needed it.
Murray is once again carrying
the hopes of the home nation,
desperate for the first British
male champion at Wimbledon
since 1936.
The 24-year-old from Scotland
has reached the semifinals the
past two years, and after a poor
runof formfollowingaloss toNo-
vak Djokovic in the Australian
Open final, he has raised hopes
againbymakingtheFrenchOpen

court title at Queens Club last
week.
Murrays messages; McHale upsets seeded player
The Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England
Two-time Wimbledon winner
Rafael Nadal finally got his
chance to walk out on Centre
Court as the defending cham-
pion at the All England Club
and made the most of it.
The top-ranked Spaniard
won the Wimbledon title in
2008, but he missed the follow-
ing years tournament because
of injuries. He returned in 2010
and won again.
Seriously, I never played in
a court like this, Nadal said
after beating American Mi-
chael Russell 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 Mon-
day in the first round. Was a
big emotion (to) be the first
player to play in this fabulous
court.
Nadal won his 10th Grand
Slam title this month at the
French Open, and he can win
the European major double for
the third time in four years if
he defends his title in south-
west London.
But with Ryan Sweeting
waiting in the second round,
hes not even close to thinking
that far ahead just yet.
I am focused on my part of
the draw. Im focused on my-
self, said Nadal, who could
meet Andy Murray in the semi-
finals and possibly Roger Fe-
derer or Novak Djokovic in the
final. So lets talk about today.
Lets talk about tomorrow. Not
lets talk about in 10 days or 12
days, because I dont know if I
am here or I am fishing in Mal-
lorca.
You never know whats go-
ing on in a tournament like
this.
Against Russell, the top-
seeded Spaniard was a break
down at 4-2 in the first set be-
fore reeling off six straight
games to take the first set and
a 2-0 lead in the second.
Nadal broke three times in
the second set and twice in the
third in the tournaments open-
ing match on the biggest
court.
And to make the victory ex-
tra special, Nadals parents
watched the match from the
Royal Box.
For sure can just say thanks
to Wimbledon, to the people
who organize this fantastic
tournament to invite my moth-
er and father to the Royal
Box, Nadal said. I think for
them was a great experience.
Besides thinking of himself
and his family, however, Nadal
also took time to praise U.S.
Open golf champion Rory
McIlroy. The two stars met last
year in New York.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Stewart to get $1.65M
West Virginia says former football
coach Bill Stewart will receive $1.65
million as part of a settlement agree-
ment with the university.
WVU released the agreement Mon-
day to The Associated Press under a
West Virginia Freedom of Information
Act request.
The agreement is dated June 10, the
same day Stewart resigned. Coach-in-
waiting Dana Holgorsen was intro-
duced as head coach that night.
Athletic director Oliver Luck has
said the university was unable to sub-
stantiate unspecified rumors that had
dogged the program in recent weeks.
Among them, a former Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette reporter said Stewart
called him shortly after Holgorsens
hiring last December and asked him to
find something negative on the new
hire.
NFL
LB awarded $5.4M
A federal judge has ordered a Florida
supplements company to pay more
than $5.4 million to St. Louis Rams
linebacker David Vobora.
U.S. District Judge Rodney Sippel
entered the order against the Anti-
Steroid Program LLC of Key Largo,
Fla., on Friday.
Vobora had sued the company over
what he said was a contaminated sup-
plement that led to a four-game suspen-
sion by the NFL for violating its anti-
drug policy. The player says he used
the companys Ultimate Sports Spray
in June 2009 without knowing it con-
tained the banned substance methyltes-
tosterone. His lawsuit accused the
company of intentionally misleading
him.
The judges order includes $2 million
for damage to Voboras reputation.
Key meeting starts today
NFL owners will meet today, and
perhaps into Wednesday, in Chicago to
discuss the status of negotiations with
the players aimed at ending the lockout
now in its fourth month.
Amid optimism that momentum has
been gained to reach a new collective
bargaining agreement, owners and
representatives from the 32 teams will
get details of the latest talks. In the last
three weeks, groups led by NFL Com-
missioner Roger Goodell and NFL
Players Association executive director
DeMaurice Smith have made progress
toward a CBA that would allow train-
ing camps to open on time late next
month.
But no one is saying a deal is immi-
nent, and several owners are known to
have strong questions about proposals
being discussed with the players.
NASCAR
Sources: Red Bull quitting
Multiple people familiar with the
decision say Red Bull plans to leave
NASCAR at the end of this season.
Those familiar with the decision also
say a team official traveled to Michigan
Speedway last weekend to inform in-
dustry leaders of Red Bulls decision.
The people spoke on condition of ano-
nymity because an official announce-
ment has not been made to team em-
ployees.
Red Bull is both the owner and spon-
sor of the two-car NASCAR team. The
team has struggled since its 2007 entry
into NASCAR.
Red Bull also owns a pair of two-car
Formula One teams. Current points
leader Sebastian Vettel is the reigning
world champion and has won five of
seven Grand Prix races this season.
NHL
Richards joins Blue Jackets
The Columbus Blue Jackets say
former Minnesota Wild head coach
Todd Richards is joining their staff as
an assistant coach.
Columbus coach Scott Arniel says he
was looking for someone with head
coaching experience to fill the job and
he respects Richards, who was fired by
Minnesota earlier this year.
Richards, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins coach for two seasons begin-
ning in 2006, became Minnesotas
coach in 2009 and led the team to a
77-71-16 record during his tenure. Be-
fore joining the Wild, he was an assist-
ant coach with the San Jose Sharks for
a year and coached in the American
Hockey League.
He had played for the University of
Minnesota from1985 to 1989 and was
drafted by Montreal. He spent most of
his 13 seasons as a player in the AHL
and the International Hockey League.

joked, basketball players.
Davis went to pose a newquestion to
Paterno, whocut off the host before mo-
tioning to Krzyzewski.
I wonder what his wifes father told
her?
Zing.
The coaches also fielded questions
fromhandpickedPennStatestudents in
attendance and Duke students live by
remote from Durham, N.C.
Paterno, infamous for seizing on par-
ticular words or phrases that irk him,
did just that when one of his questions
from the crowd referred to him as an
icon.
Tell me, what is an icon? Paterno
shrugged. If you mean some good-
looking, handsome guy
Laughter.
Yeah, I like (the title).
Davis then made quick reference to
the life-size Paterno statue that sits on
the east side of Beaver Stadium.
Actually, Krzyzewski interjected, I
think your statue should be bigger.
Things picked up when the topic
turned to the recent scandals that have
clouded major college sports. When
asked what the NCAA can improve up-
on, both Krzyzewski and Paterno took
the governing body to task.
It needs to modernize, Krzyzewski
said. We needto revampthe whole sys-
temto keep up withthe culture we have
electronics, for example.
Krzyzewski mentioned text and in-
stant messaging along with Paternos
newest recruiting aid Skype video
teleconferencing as areas that need to
be updated in the rulebook. Not just
with recruiting, he said, but with keep-
ing in touch with players in the offsea-
son.
TheNCAAneeds togiveus moreop-
portunities to teach, Krzyzewski said.
Theaccess toplayers, speakingfor bas-
ketball, is absolutely unacceptable.
Paterno echoed the thought, relating
a story that he walked past the teams
Holuba Hall practice facility earlier in
the month and saw some of his players
working out.
Later in the day, he remarked to an
assistant that so-and-so looks good,
andwas remindedthat just glimpsingat
an offseason workout while passing by
wasnt allowed.
I broke a rule the other day without
even (realizing) it, Paterno said. We
gotta take a look at where were at with
all of this.
Paterno again said he was in favor of
relaxingthe 85-scholarshiplimit infoot-
ball, as well as making freshmen ineligi-
ble to play in order to better acclimate
to college life.
As for the upcoming season, Paterno
said he believes last seasons disap-
pointments are already serving as moti-
vation for his returning players.
We werent very good last year, Pa-
terno said. And weve got a buncha
kids who arent happy about it. They
didnt come here to be (7-6).

nos clowning.
One of the segments revolved around
the influence of family on both coaches,

in their respective programs. Krzyzew-
ski, who has three daughters, said his

the hit.
Warren pushed his record to 5-2 as
SWB has now won 10 of Warrens 14
starts this season. He has won his
last three starts and in those outings
he has pitched 23 innings, giving up
just two runs and 11 hits.
Just going out there getting ahead
of guys is huge for me, Warren add-
ed. I think its just how baseball
works. If you get ahead of guys you
can really play around with them, but
if youre behind you have to throw
the pitch theyre looking for, a fast-
ball.
The Yankees scored single runs in
the second and fourth innings on a
pair of RBI-doubles and thats all the
23-year-old needed.
P.J. Pilittere drove in Jordan Parraz
in the second for a 1-0 lead. In the
fourth, Parraz doubled in Brandon
Laird to put SWB up 2-0.
The offense also pounded out sev-
en hits, which was welcome given
that slugger Jorge Vazquez who
leads the International League in
home runs was placed on the dis-
abled list with 20 before the game.
Jesus Montero paced the Yankee
offense going 2-for-4 with a double,
while Greg Golson, Kevin Russo and
Doug Bernier also picked up singles.
Parraz has been the hottest Yankee
over the last six games going 7-for-18
with three RBI and three runs

He usually gives you real good at-
bats, Miley said about Parraz. Hes
one of the guys that really concen-
trate with two strikes. He really has a
knack for putting the ball in play.
Notes: Infielder Addison Marus-
zak was added to the roster from
Double-A Trenton as the correspond-
ing move for Vazquez. He hit .218

pair of stolen bases in 61 games and

THE GAME (1340-AM) with Mike
Vander Woude
shoulder was sore but no structural
damage was found.
Though his .279 average is 50 points
below his career numbers, Pujols was
starting to heat up after a slow start
and went 3 for 3 with a homer in his
last at-bat on Sunday. Hes among the
league leaders with 17 homers and 45
RBIs.
Pujols was hurt trying to make a tag
after taking an off-line throw from sec-
ond baseman Pete Kozma and the Roy-
als Wilson Betemit collided with the
glove hand.
He hit me on my wrist and my
shoulder, Pujols said afterward. He
kindof jammedme back. Its the tough-
est play to make as a first baseman. Its
a bang-bang play. I saw the replay a
couple of times, but I didnt really want
to look at it.
Betemit said there was no way to
avoid the collision.
I was running hard and the ball ar-
rived at the same time I got to the
base, Betemit said. Thats part of the
game. I couldnt do anything about it.
Mozeliak said he hadnt spoken with
Pujols, who had been optimistic after
the game that the injury wasnt serious.
I was optimistic we were going to
get better news, Mozeliak said. I real-
ly was.
The 31-year-oldPujols is due to enter
free agency this fall after rejecting a
multiyear contract extension at the
start of spring training. He will be
placed on the 15-day disabled list for
only the thirdtime inhis career andthe
Cardinals said they would announce a
roster move before Tuesday nights
game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Among the top options are first base-
man-outfielder Mark Hamilton and in-
fielder Tyler Greene, both of whom
were optioned to Triple-A Memphis
last week.
St. Louis was tied with the Brewers
atop the NL Central despite the latest
in a string of injuries. Pujols was hurt
three days after cleanup hitter Matt
Holliday returned from a quadriceps
injury that landed him on the 15-day
disabled list, and Holliday also missed
time following an appendectomy.
Third baseman David Freese, sec-
ond baseman Skip Schumaker and
pitcher Kyle McClellan also have mis-
sed significant time for a franchise that
early in spring training lost 20-game
winner Adam Wainwright for the sea-
son.
Its tough, pitcher Kyle Lohse said.
Its kind of been the story to the sea-
son, it just seems like every month
somethings happening.
Freese and utilityman Nick Punto
have begun rehab stints and Mozeliak
said they wouldnt be rushed back. Mo-
zeliak didnt anticipate Allen Craig, on
the DL with a knee injury, back for 3-4
weeks.
Lance Berkman took over at first
base after the injury and could serve as
the long-term fill-in at the position, al-
though both Mozeliak and La Russa
hedged on that. Berkman began the
year as a full-time outfielder for the
first time since 2004 and said earlier in
the year that he anticipated outfield
play to be easier on his legs because
there would be fewer stops and starts.
Getting Lance in a place where hes
physically feeling the best is a really
good answer for us, La Russa said.

S P O R T S
BETHESDA, Md. The
manner in which Rory McIlroy
won the U.S. Open made com-
parisons with Tiger Woods in-
evitable.
Not since Woods historic
15-shot win at Pebble Beach in
2000 has anyone crushed the
competition at a U.S. Open.
McIlroys performance was so
stunning at Congressional
that only four of his 72 holes
were worse than par, he broke
the scoring record by four
shots and finished at an as-
tounding 16-under 268.
Such a score is rare at the
other three majors. Its unfath-
omable for a U.S. Open.
But there was more than just
his golf.
The buzz around the 22-
year-old from Northern Ire-
land made this feel like the
1997 Masters.
That was a watershed mo-
ment in sports, signaling the
arrival of Woods. He brought a
breathtaking blend of power
and putting, seized control of
the tournament on the second
day, demoralized Colin Mont-
gomerie in the third round and
won by 12 shots with a record
score to become the youngest
Masters champion.
Woods wasnt at Congres-
sional, but at times it felt like
it.
The energy picked up late
Friday morning, right after
McIlroy holed out a pitching
wedge for eagle on the par-4
eighth to become only the fifth
player in U.S. Open history to
reach double-digits under par.
The difference was it took
him only 26 holes, and he was
just getting warmed up. When
he stood on the 10th tee, thou-
sands of fans stood shoulder-
to-shoulder from the tee all
the way up the hill to the club-
house. They crowded onto the
verandah at the clubhouse,
and there were so many fans
leaning against the railing on
the balcony they looked like
passengers on a cruise ship
coming into port.
All this to see a Boy Wonder
who just might be the future of
golf.
Golf might be ready for a
new star, especially consider-
ing the personal failures of
Woods and the health prob-
lems that cloud his future.
McIlroy brings a killer instinct
to the course, yet already has
shown he can lose as well as he
can win.
Leave it to a kid, however, to
preach patience.
As he was on his way to post-
ing the first sub-200 score over
54 holes in a U.S. Open 14-
under 199 in the third
round, Padraig Harrington de-
clared him as being the player
perhaps best suited to chase
Jack Nicklaus benchmark of
18 professional majors.
If youre going to talk about
someone challenging Jacks
record, theres your man,
Harrington said. Winning
majors at 22 with his talent, he
would have 20 more years ...
where he could be competi-
tive. It would give him a great
chance.
Upon hearing this, McIlroy
bowed his head and said quiet-
ly into the microphone with
playful condemnation, Pad-
dy, Paddy, Paddy.
Then came Sunday, when he
was as relentless as ever,
stretching his lead to as many
as 10 shots, and his score as
low as 17 under. Graeme
McDowell, who grew up hear-
ing about and then appreciat-
ing the skill of McIlroy, said he
was the best player Ive ever
seen.
These are the expectations
that will follow McIlroy to
Royal St. Georges for the Brit-
ish Open, to Atlanta for the
PGA Championship, and to ev-
ery major he plays for a long
time, if not the rest of his ca-
reer.
His name is on the U.S.
Open roll of champions with
Woods, a three-time winner.
For now, thats where the simi-
larities end.
The comparisons are mainly
a product of youth, skill and
delivering on potential. In his
first trip to America as a pro,
McIlroys peers figured it was
only a matter of time before he
won the biggest events and
rose to No. 1. He was that
good, his swing that simple
and pure, his talent simply too
much to ignore.
McIlroy became the second-
youngest player to win a major
since the Masters began in
1934, trailing Woods in that
1997 Masters by about 10
months. Thats why there is so
much excitement about his fu-
ture, and rightfully so.
However, this was his 10th
major as a pro. Woods won in
his professional debut at the
majors.
The one question about
McIlroy, aside from his put-
ting, was his ability to finish.
For someone with so much tal-
ent, this was only his third ca-
reer victory in 107 starts in Eu-
ropean and PGA Tour events.
Woods already had won 31
tournaments, including five
majors, after his 107 starts in
European and PGA Tour sanc-
tioned tournaments. Four of
those majors were won in a
span of 294 days, an achieve-
ment that might rank among
the most difficult to match.
When you win a major
quite early in your career, ev-
eryone is going to draw com-
parisons, McIlroy said. Its
natural.
McIlroy does not shy away
from the expectations, al-
though he has amazing per-
spective for one so young.
Its nice that people say
that He could be this or He
could be that or He could win
20 major championships, he
said. But at the end of the
day, Ive won one. I obviously
want to add to that tally. But
you cant let what other peo-
ple think of you, influence
what you have to do. You have
to just go out there, work hard,
believe in yourself.
Theres another reason for
all the excitement.
Golf has been searching for
a star since the downfall of
Woods, who has not won any
tournaments since his person-
al life and image were shat-
tered in November 2009, and
whose health is such now that
no one knows when hell play
his next event, much less his
next major.
Martin Kaymer won the
PGA Championship and even-
tually rose to No. 1 for two
months. Lee Westwood now
has five top 3s in his last 12
majors. Luke Donald is still
No. 1 in the world and playing
some of the best and most con-
sistent golf.
None have been as dynamic
as McIlroy, on and off the golf
course.
By winning the U.S. Open,
he has been atop the leader-
board in a major for seven of
the last eight rounds, and he
has been in the lead at some
point in the last three majors
he lost a four-shot lead in
the final round at the Masters
with that well-documented 80,
and he briefly shared the lead
at Whistling Straits at the
PGA Championship until mis-
sing a 20-foot birdie putt on
the last hole to finish one be-
hind.
Who knows what the rest of
the summer will hold for McIl-
roy. But for now, its hard not
to imagine that if not for that
80 at Augusta, McIlroy would
be headed to the British for
the third leg of the Grand
Slam.

WASHINGTONFour of col-
lege footballs six powerhouse
conferences paid their top execu-
tives $1million or more, an Asso-
ciated Press analysis of tax re-
cords shows, far eclipsing the
compensation of most university
presidents.
A review of 2009 IRS returns,
the most recent available, shows
that Big Ten commissioner Jim
Delany was the highest paid, re-
ceiving total compensation val-
ued at $1.6 million, followed by
Atlantic Coast Conference com-
missioner John Swofford ($1.1
million), Southeastern Confer-
ence commissioner Mike Slive
($1 million) and Big 12 commis-
sioner Dan Beebe ($997,000).
The other two commissioners
eachstartedinJuly 2009, so their
compensationfigures are onlyfor
the last six months of the year:
PAC-10s Larry Scott ($735,000),
and Big Easts John Marinatto
($366,000).
Those figures include base sal-
ary andbenefits suchas healthin-
surance, as well as other forms of
pay such as retirement and de-
ferred compensation. On an an-
nual or prorated basis, only Mar-
inatto made less than the median
pay of presidents of the nations
largeresearchuniversities, which
was $760,774 in 2008, according
to a Chronicle of Higher Educa-
tion survey published last fall.
The new data about commis-
sioner salaries comes at a time
when, drivenbyaseriesof contro-
versies at major programs, theres
a growing chorus about the prob-
lems of enforcing amateurism in
college football, saying it may be
time to rethink the system as ev-
eryone but the athletes are mak-
ing big money.
SouthernCalifornia was put on
probation last year after 2005
Heisman Trophy winner Reggie
Bush was discovered to have re-
ceived improper benefits from a
sports agent; the NCAA conclud-
ed that the father of last years
Heisman winner, Cam Newton,
tried to sell his sons services to
Mississippi State; and, OhioState
coach Jim Tressel and star QB
TerrellePryor bothleft theschool
this spring in the wake of revela-
tions that Pryor andother players
soldmemorabiliafor cashandtat-
toos.
Indiana University President
Michael McRobbie, the Big Ten
board chairman, said his confer-
ences presidents and chancellors
believe Delany is worth every
penny that he receives.
The board has enormous con-
fidence in the commissioner,
thinks that hes done anoutstand-
ing job, McRobbie said in a tele-
phone interview. Were very, ve-
ry pleased with the progress in
the conference under the com-
missioners leadership.
The board chairmen of the
ACC, SECandBig12wereall said
by aides to be unavailable for in-
terviews.
The conferences, which over-
see a host of college sports be-
sides football, operate as 501(c)
(3) charitable organizations,
meaning their operations are tax-
exempt. The compensation is
generally set by boards of direc-
tors made up of the member
schools presidents and chancel-
lors.
The six conferences, all of
which receive automatic bids to
Bowl Championship Series
games, areamong11that makeup
college footballs highest level.
The other five dont receive auto-
matic bids and receive smaller
bowl payouts from the BCS, al-
though those payments have in-
creased in recent years as overall
BCS revenue has grown.
Those five conferences
Mountain West, Mid-American,
Sun Belt, Conference USA and
the Western Athletic Confer-
enceall paidtheir commission-
ers less than $600,000 in 2009.

The Fed meets
As the Federal Reserve
begins a two-day meeting
today, Chairman Ben Ber-
nanke and other officials are
faced with two big problems:
a slowing U.S. economy and
a threat from Europes
increasing debt troubles. The
Fed has to consider how it
can help what Bernanke has
called a frustratingly slow
U.S. economy. And, how to shield the economy if the
crisis in Europe worsens. Bernanke holds a news con-
ference after the meeting Wednesday.
Barnes & Nobles earnings
Investors may care more about
Liberty Medias $1 billion offer
to buy Barnes & Noble than
they do about the booksellers
fiscal fourth-quarter earnings.
Barnes & Noble has not pub-
licly passed judgment on the
offer since Liberty made it a
month ago. Investors want to
know whether the bookseller is
leaning toward rejecting or
accepting it. Liberty is inter-
ested in the companys online
and e-book operations.
More bad housing news
Its a foregone conclusion that
todays news from the National
Association of Realtors will be
bleak. The trade group releases
its report on sales of previously
occupied homes during May. We
already know that the spring sell-
ing season for new and previ-
ously occupied homes has been
a bust. The economy was show-
ing signs of slowing last month,
and so its likely that many
would-be buyers decided this
isnt the time to buy. Source: FactSet

Stocks close higher
Investors largely put aside their
concerns about the Greek financial
crisis Monday and focused instead on
value. Stocks rose broadly after the
market shook off its longest weekly
losing streak in nearly a decade.
The downturn brought the S&P 500
close to its average level over the prior
200 days. So long as the index doesnt
sink far below that level, many tech-
nical traders see it as a sign to start
buying stocks again.
Health care companies like Aetna
Inc. and Humana Inc. rose 1 percent,
the largest gain among the 10 industry
groups that make up the S&P 500
index. Financial companies like Mor-
gan Stanley, which lost 1.9 percent,
were the only group to lose ground.
Hospitals consider merger
Geisinger Health System and
Bloomsburg Health System announced
Monday the signing of a non-binding
letter of intent to explore the potential
merger of the smaller Bloomsburg
Health System into Geisinger Health
System.
In a press release, officials from both
organizations stressed they are in the
early stages of exploring possibilities.
No timetable has been set to complete
the process.
Geisinger and Bloomsburg already
collaborate in a number of areas and
Geisinger provides laboratory and
clinical engineering services at Blooms-
burg.
Geisinger and Shamokin Area Com-
munity Hospital are working toward a
similar agreement.
Table games net $458M
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control
Board Monday announced that table
games at the states 10 operating casi-
nos produced $51.4 million in gross
revenue in May generating $8,282,211
in tax revenue.
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in
Plains Township reported $3.3 million
in gross revenues in May for its 84
tables. Mount Airy Casino near Mount
Pocono reported $3.19 million for its 72
tables. At Mohegan Sun, the May totals
were lower than the $3.6 million re-
ported in April. At Mount Airy, the
May totals were higher than the $3.14
million the previous month.
Mays totals brought the fiscal year
gross revenue from table games in the
state to $458.3 million.
Benco opens Reno center
Benco Dental, the Jenkins Township-
based dental supplies and equipment
distributor, has announced the opening
of its fifth U.S. distribution center. The
new facility is in Reno, Nev. That citys
proximity to 11 western states gives

The opening is the latest in a recent
westward expansion.
In the past year, the company has
opened showrooms in Las Vegas, Salt
Lake City, and Fresno, Calif. Benco has
additional distribution centers in Jen-

THE DUKE Nukem
franchise is 20 years
old. For those of you
who arent aware,
Duke Nukem is a
first person shoo-
ter -- a fighting
game in which you get to blast alien
creatures bent on world domination.
But unlike typical first person
shooters (the Doom series comes
to mind), Duke Nukem wasnt satis-
fied with the controversy that gets
heaped upon violent video games.
No, the games creators felt the need
to push things just a bit further,
particularly with Duke Nukem 3D,
which featured graphic violence,
obscenities, drug use and other con-
tent some people find offensive.
Sales of the game were banned in
Brazil and are heavily regulated in
most other countries. Keep in mind
that this was back in 1996, before
most computers even had CD-ROM
drives. Then, in 1997, the series went
on hiatus. Fans were assured that a
sequel was in the works, and Duke
Nukem Forever was announced, with
a release date pegged for the follow-
ing year. And then it was pushed
back ... then pushed back again.
Finally, in 2001, the developers an-
nounced a new release date: When
its done. Thats not a joke; it was
their official release date.
The game remained in develop-
ment until 2009, when the devel-
opment team was downsized. After a
lawsuit, some legal wrangling and 14
years, the Duke Nukem project was
confirmed alive and in development
by 2K games. A release date of May
3 was announced. And then, yet
another delay. Finally, after 15 years,
the game was released international-
ly.
Heres my advice if youre a fan
of the Duke Nukem series, perhaps
you can forgive the flaws for another
trip down memory lane. For anyone
else: Do not buy this game. After 15
years of development, countless
changes in the design team, advanc-
es in technology and the develop-
ment of new platforms and gaming
mechanics, lets just say that the
Duke should have known well
enough to stay retired.
Where the old games were humor-
ously bawdy, the new game is down-
right crass. Where the old game was
funny, the new game is juvenile.
Where the old game was action-
packed, the new game seems boring.
And this isnt the filter of age or
experience speaking. I can still play
the older games and enjoy myself.
Though it could have been a gritty
reboot, Duke Nukem Forever will
likely be the end of the franchise.
And it is, alas, not a fitting end to
such a popular series.

French Rafale-R jet fighter is backdropped by a Boeing 747-8 passenger plane on the tarmac of the
Paris Air Show in le Bourget, east of Paris. Boeing announced more than $11 billion worth of orders
and commitments for 56 jets on Monday as the show, the industrys main event of the year, got under
way. European plane-making consortium Airbus wasted little time in announcing its own deals, racking
up orders and commitments for 142 aircraft valued at $15 billion. Boeing also said it had received com-
mitments and orders from two undisclosed buyers for 17 of the hulking 747-8 passenger planes, with a
book value of $5.4 billion.
NEWYORKPNCFinancial Ser-
vices Group Inc. said Monday that it
is buying the U.S. retail operations
of Royal Bank of Canada for $3.45
billion.
Pittsburgh-based PNC said the
transaction will bring its branch to-
tal to 2,870 and make it the fifth big-
gest among U.S. banks. RBC Bank
(USA), based in Raleigh, N.C., has
424 branches and about $25 billion
of assets.
PNC Chairman and CEO James
Rohr said in a statement that the
RBC acquisition will give PNC ac-
cess to attractive southeast mar-
kets in a way that will create value
for our shareholders.
The deal adds about $19 billion of
deposits and $16 billion of loans
based on RBC Bank (USA) balances
as of April 30.
RBC President and CEO Gordon
Nixon said in a statement that RBC
is fully committed to the U.S. mar-
ket. He said the deal allows it to con-
centrate efforts on growing its
wealth management and capital
market services, which are the two
largest components of its U.S. busi-
nesses.
PNC has also agreed to buy cer-
tain credit card assets of RBC Bank,
(Georgia) National Association.
RBC says that it will receive$165
million for the credit card assets.
It is the second big banking trans-
action in recent days following the
announcement that U.S. bank Cap-
ital One Financial Corp. struck a $9
billion deal to buy the online bank of
the Dutch financial services compa-
ny ING.
A Wall Street Journal report on
Sunday said that Pittsburgh-based
PNC beat out rival regional bank
BB&TCorp. for the RBCoperations.
PNC has the option to pay for the
deal with up to $1 billion in common
stock. The company expects to pay
for the cash portion of the transac-
tion with available cash, debt is-
suance and a preferred stock offer-
ing.
It expects the buyout to add to its
earnings by the end of 2013 or soon-
er depending on if any of the pur-
chase price is paid for with its com-
mon stock.
The acquisition, which has been
approved by both companies
boards, is expected to close in
March.

SINGAPOREInternet minders vot-
ed Monday to allow virtually unlimited
new domain names based on themes as
varied as company brands, entertain-
ment and political causes, in the sys-
tems biggest shake-upsince it started26
years ago.
Groups able to pay the $185,000 appli-
cation can petition next year for newup-
dates to .com and .net with website
suffixes usingnearlyanywordinanylan-
guage, including in Arabic, Chinese and
other scripts, the Internet Corporation
for AssignedNames andNumbers decid-
ed at a meeting in Singapore.
This is the start of a whole newphase
for the Internet, said Peter Dengate
Thrush, chairman of
ICANNs board of di-
rectors. Unless there
is a good reason to re-
strain it, innovation
should be allowed to
run free.
ICANNs decision
culminates six years
of negotiations and is
the biggest change to
the system since
.com made its de-
but in 1984. The expansion plan had
been delayed largely because of con-
cerns that newsuffixes could infringe on
trademarks and copyrights.
High-profile entertainment, consum-
er goods and financial services compa-
nies will likely be among the first to ap-
plyfor their owndomainnameinabidto
protect their brands, experts said.
It will allow corporations to better
take control of their brands, said Theo
Hnarakis, chief executive of Melbourne
IT, which manages online brands for cli-
ents such as Volvo, LEGO and GlaxoS-
mithKline. For example, .apple or .ipad
would take customers right to those
products.
The surge indomains shouldhelpalle-
viate some of the overlap of names inthe
most popular suffixes, especially .com,
which has 94 million sites registered.
Analysts said they expect 500 to1,000
new domain names, mostly companies
and products, but also cities and generic
names such as .bank or .hotel.
Groups have formed to back .sport for
sporting sites, and two conservationist
groups separately are seeking the right
to operate an .eco suffix.
ICANNplans to auction off domains if
multiple parties have legitimate claims.
However, it expects companies will like-
ly strike deals among themselves to
avoid a public auction.
The application process is arduous
the fee is $185,000 and the guidebook is
360pages andmeant toprevent scam-
mers from grabbing valuable domain
names. ICANN will receive applications
for new domains for 90 days beginning
Jan. 12.
ICANN said it has set aside up to $2
million to assist applicants from devel-
oping countries. ICANN said in a state-
ment that it will mount aglobal publicity
campaign to raise awareness of the op-
portunities of new domain names. Any
company, organization or individual can
bid for a new suffix but it will cost.

Is Greece heading for
disaster?
The answer wont
come for weeks or
months, but financial ana-
lysts are not optimistic.
Greece is in talks with
creditors about a second
package of loans similar
to the $157 billion bailout
it got last year. Theyre
trying to keep Greece
from defaulting on its
debt. To get the new
loans, Greece will prob-
ably be forced to adopt
more tax hikes and pen-
sion cuts. The prospect
of new cuts has already
led to riots.
Here are some ques-
tions and answers about
Greeces problems:
Who would pay for
the bailout?
Other European
nations and the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund
How likely is a default?
Bond traders are bet-
ting that a default is
almost certain. It now
costs more than ever to
insure Greek debt. At
prices quoted Friday, the
insurance contracts sug-
gest an 80 percent
chance that Greece will
default in the next five
years.
Why is a potential
default so troubling?
Banks lend money to
governments and each
other. If Greece defaults,
banks will charge more
money for loans or stop
lending altogether. Theyll
also have to raise at least
$300 billion to cover
insurance contracts on
Greek debt.
Many analysts say
what happened after
Lehman Brothers
collapsed in 2008 could
happen again. Lending
froze around the world.
That deepened the
global recession.
How would a wider
European crisis hurt
the U.S.?
American banks say
they could handle a
crisis. They had about
$43 billion in Greek debt
at the end of September
2010, compared with
$113 billion tied to Ireland
and $187 billion to Spain.
Its impossible to tell
which banks are holding
more Greek debt than
the others.
When credit freezes
or it gets more expensive
to borrow, other Euro-
pean countries could end
up in a similar situation to
Greeces deep in debt
and unable to borrow
more to pay it off. U.S.
banks could end up with
bad bonds on their
books, just as theyre
working off bad loans
from the mortgage crisis
a few years ago. Ameri-
can money market funds
are heavily invested in
European bank debt, too.

A big storm sys-
tem has formed
over the center
of the country
and will slowly
begin moving
east. It will
spread warmer
air over
Pennsylvania
this week, as a
strong soutwest
flow develops
ahead of it. As
this storm
approaches,
showers and
thunderstorms
will also develop
ahead of it.
Morning sunshi-
ine will give way
to a partly sunny
afternoon. We
expect a few
pop-up showers
and thunder-
torms but a
good portion of
eastern
Pennsylvania will
remain dry.
Afternoon tem-
peratures will
climb into the
80s again.
Tonight will be
partly cloudy
and a passing
shower is possi-
ble.
-Kurt Aaron
NATIONAL FORECAST: A series of low pressure systems in the East will generate a widespread
chance of showers and thunderstorms for most of the eastern United States. Some storms in the
Midwest, Mississippi Valley, and Ohio Valley could be strong to severe. Showers associated with these
systems could fall as far west as the Northern Plains.

Great news for those who go on daily
coffee jags: A recent study pub-
lished in the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition reports that the
life-giving brew does not boost
blood pressure.
Take our quiz on what this and
other studies have found about
that cup of joe surgically attached
to your hand.
1. The AJCN study says that theres
no appreciable difference in hy-
pertension risk even for people
who drank how many cups of
coffee per day?
a) 3
b) 5
c) 1 1
2. In a study of 12,204 middle-age
coffee drinkers, those who report-
ed drinking four or more cups
daily had a lower risk of devel-
oping what condition than those
who almost never drink coffee.
a) Type 2 diabetes
b) arthritis
c) kidney failure
3. True or false: People who reported
drinking one to three cups of
coffee per day were 20 percent
more likely to be hospitalized for
abnormal heart rhythms (arrhyth-
mias) than nondrinkers.
4. A 2009 Scandinavian study
showed that people who con-
sumed three to five cups of coffee
daily were what percentage less
likely to develop dementia and
Alzheimers disease compared
with nondrinkers?
a) 25 percent
b) 35 percent
c) 65 percent
5. In study results that may surprise,
high coffee consumption also
decreases the chances of what
type of cancer?
a) prostate
b) liver
c) bladder

NUTRITION QUIZ: Test your coffee IQ
Q: Are there anytests out
there for Alzheimers
disease?
A: As of now, the only
definitive test for Alz-
heimers disease is the
analysis of braintissue
after death. Thats why
folks witha presumptive diagnosis of Alz-
heimers disease are describedas having
senile dementia of the Alzheimers type, or
SDAT. However, there maysoonbe a new
bloodtest that canaccuratelydiagnose a
personwithAlzheimers disease anddiffer-
entiate it fromother forms of dementia like
multi-infarct (vascular) dementia.
Researchers at Canadas McGill Uni-
versityhave foundthat there is a dramatic
difference betweenthe productionof the
hormone DHEAinfolks withAlzheimers
disease versus non-dementia or evenother
forms of dementia. DHEAis a natural
steroidhormone producedbythe adrenal
glands, the testicles andthe brain. It has a
wide arrayof biological effects inhumans,
includingmood, memory, physical stami-
na, immune andstress response andas a
precursor hormone that gets convertedto
testosterone andestrogen.
The test will require FDAapproval inthe
U.S. before it canbe commerciallyavail-
able.
Q: Ive hada chronic coughfor over a
year now. I hada chest X-rayandthat was
fine. What doyouthinkmight be causing
myannoyingcough?
A: Coughingis the secondmost com-
monreasonfolks seekmedical attention
secondonlytopain. I dont have anyin-
formationabout your medical historyor if
youre a smoker, soIll list some possible
causes.
Howdowe pickyour cause out fromthe
lineupof suspects? Smokers (or folks with
prolongedexposure tosecondhandsmoke)
oftendevelopa chronic coughdue toa
low-grade chronic bronchitis. If your cough
is worse inthe evening, at night or inthe
earlymorning, a post-nasal dripmaybe
causinga tickle. Intranasal steroidsprays
like Flonase cantake downnasal swelling
thats contributingtoa drip. Atrovent is
another type of nasal spraythat works
great todryupa drip. If anallergyis caus-
ingit, anantihistamine will help.
Asthma is another trickyone because it
sometimes causes a coughwithout any
wheeze. Chronic sinus infectioncancause
a persistent cough, andsinus films may
helptoidentifythis as the cause. Some
folks have a nervous coughinghabit, but
thats a diagnosis of exclusion. ACEinhib-
itor bloodpressure medications (e.g. Qui-
napril, Lisinopril) are well-knownpotential
causes of cough. Lookfor moldor exces-
sive dust inthe home or workplace as
potential causes. Anewpet is alsoa consid-
eration. Chest X-rays, bariumswallows and
CTscans of the chest are helpful when
fever, weight loss or bloodysputumare
present.

Alzheimers test
may soon gain
FDA approved
Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing
in internal medicine. Send questions to him at:
Ask Dr. H, P.O. Box 767787, Atlanta, GA
30076. Personal replies are not possible.
There are telltale signs that a
product has gone bad. Moldy bread.
Clumpy milk. The layer of fur blan-
keting the cream cheese. But what
about the toothpaste sitting in your
pantry for years after a zealous bulk
purchase? Or those condoms wait-
ing optimistically in your night-
stand for longer than you wish you
recall?
Many suchproducts carry expira-
tion dates, but thrifty shoppers of-
ten wonder if they really must toss
dated items that still seem per-
fectly fine. After all, how can head-
ache medicine stop working from
one month to the next? And why
should you believe the expiration
date on one lotion when another
doesnt carry one at all?
The Food and Drug Administra-
tion requires that expiration dates
be printed on all prescription and
over-the-counter drugs, but not on
cosmetics unless the cosmetics
are also considered drugs, such as
toothpaste with fluoride, anything
with sunscreen, anti-dandruff
shampoo and antiperspirant. But
even then, over-the-counter drugs
without dose limitations dont have
to carry expiration dates if tests
have proven theyre stable for at
least three years, which is why one
sunscreenmayhavea datewhilean-
other wont.
Expiration dates tend to be con-
servative to account for a wide
rangeof storageconditions andcon-
sumer handling, said Dr. John Bai-
ley, chief scientist withthe Personal

portion of their business. They are growing
weary, they say, of treating teen accident vic-

Sadly, they see many unnecessary trauma

that could be avoided if teens did not talk or

Lean cookout

Grilled vegetables can be a healthy,
low-fat, tasty addition to any barbecue.
Cut vegetables into shapes and
sizes that cook well on the grill; place
them over medium heat and turn
frequently until done, or until you see
light grill marks, some browning
Marinating vegetables before
grilling will help them brown better;
some tasty, low-calorie ingredients
for marinades include Worchestershire
sauce, chili sauce, tomato paste,
molasses and soy sauce
Coating vegetables with olive oil
before grilling is another tasty
preparation

joined forces with Miser-
icordia University in Dallas to expand a
nuclear medicine academic program to
accommodate more students in a wider
area.
Dr. Elaine Halesey, department chair
for medical imaging at Misericordia, said
the new 21-month certificate program in
nuclear medicine technology will roll out
thisfall. Theprogramisdesignedforadult
learners, but can also cater to new stu-
dentswithabackgroundinmedicine. The
program combines weekend classroom
andonline workwithclinical onsite expe-
rience. Halesey said students will cycle
through different components of nuclear
medicine including utilizing it in a hospi-
talsettingaswellasdevelopingitinaphar-
maceutical company.
Thenumber of students enrolledinthe
program is dependent on the number of
hospitals willing to be affiliates. Halesey
said, at thistime, thereareabout10poten-
tial hospitals the university is looking at.
She was unable to provide names due to
pending contracts. She said the goal is to
haveparticipatinghospitalsasfarsouthas
Allentown and as far north as the New
York border. Students in the program
wouldnotneedtotravel asfartocomplete
their clinical work, but may needtocome
oncampusafewtimestocompletespecif-
ic hands-on training that is required. The
result will be a program that will give ra-
diology technologists the ability to gain
valuable skills and training to become
morevaluabletoemployers.

Cellphone use: texting and talking. (Using a
hands-free device doesnt really reduce risk.)
Grooming. (Combing hair, putting on mas-
