NEW YORK By the time a
wayward kid from Long Island
named Bryant Neal Vinas joined
al-Qaida in 2008, the sight of trai-
nees swinging frommonkey bars
was a thing of the past.
The Afghani terror camps had
been replaced by safe houses
tucked away in the border region
of Pakistan houses made of
mud.
Theres no carpet. Theres no
wood floors, Vinas told a Brook-
lyn jury on April 23. Just mud.
Vinas description of the crude
Waziristan hideout came during
the trial of Adis Medujanin, a
New York City man convicted
last week in a foiled plot to attack
the subway systemin 2009. Pros-
ecutors had accused Medujanin
of receiving terror training and
instructions from al-Qaida in Pa-
kistan during a trip with two for-
mer high school classmates who
pleaded guilty.
At Medunjanins trial, jurors
heardVinas andanother high-val-
ue government cooperator born
in Great Britain, Saajid Badat,
testify as expert witnesses. They
provided an unprecedented, first-
hand look at al-Qaida in the hea-
dy days after the Sept. 11 attacks
and in more recent years as it
struggled to survive.
The pairs insights suggested
that the terror group never lost
its desire to strike again on U.S.
soil but its means and goals be-
came more modest. It also be-
came more reliant on late-bloom-
er jihadists who sometimes
proved half-hearted or inept.
The testimony also gave the
U.S. Attorneys Office in Brook-
lyn and British authorities a
chance to show off two trophies
in the civilian prosecution of ter-
rorists sworn enemies of
America who, after their arrests,
were persuaded to switch sides
and tell everything they know.
Badat, 33, described growing
disillusioned with al-Qaida. After
hearing that admitted Sept. 11
mastermind Khalid Sheik Mo-
hammed would face American
justice, he saidhe felt ... almost a
moral obligation to give evidence
specifically against KSM.
The once-bearded Badat ap-
peared on a videotape looking
like a clean-cut banker. His testi-
mony had been recorded at a se-
cret location outside London af-
ter being freed early from a 13-
year prison term as a reward for
his cooperation.
Born in Gloucester, England,
to immigrants from the tiny Afri-
can nation of Malawi, Badat was
the product of a stable childhood.
While in London in 1997, he be-
came convinced he needed to
take up arms in the name of Is-
lam.
It was almost the glamour fac-
tor of it drawingme in, he saidof
heading off to Afghanistan at age
19 for violent jihad.
By 2001, he was firmly in al-
Qaidas grasp at the height of its
post-Sept. 11 infamy. He recalled
Osama bin Laden telling himin a
meeting of just the two of them
that hiding explosives in shoes in
suicide attacks could get huge re-
sults.
So he said the American econ-
omy is like a chain, Badat said.
If you break one link of the
chain, the whole economy will be
brought down.
Vinas, 29, was the offspring of
immigrant parents, both from
South America, who divorced
when he was young. As time
passed, he drifted. He also tried
joining the Army in 2002, but
dropped out after only three
weeks because he found it men-
tally overwhelming.
RaisedCatholic, Vinas convert-
ed to Islam in 2004. He grew
more extreme in his views after
listening to sermons by radical
anti-American cleric Anwar al-
Awlaki.
Vinas left for Pakistan in 2007,
telling friends and family he was
going to study there. He briefly
signed on with a little-know in-
surgent group, but left after hear-
ing rumors it was controlled by
Pakistans intelligence agency,
known as the ISI.
Witnesses give public firsthand look inside al-Qaida
The trial of a New York City
man in a failed terror plot
offers inside revelations.

HARRISONBURG, Va.
A Virginia man has been
charged with threatening to
kill President Barack Oba-
ma.
A criminal complaint fil-
ed in federal court in Harri-
sonburg said Christopher
Hecker of Waynesboro
made death threats against
the president and threat-
ened to bomb the White
House, hotels and other
places, including Philadel-
phia City Hall and the site
of the former World Trade
Center. An affidavit said the
threats were emailed to var-
ious media outlets.
Media outlets report an
email sent April 19 to a Roa-
noke radio station threat-
ened the presidents life.
The FBI traced the email to
Heckers account.
The affidavit said four
days later, Hecker allegedly
sent an email to another
media outlet that threat-
ened more violence.
Sooner or later I will
grab someone, maybe in the
woods, on the trail, and beat
the life out of them, the
email said.
The writer also said Oba-
ma is the one that is de-
stroying patriotism in the
U.S.A.
On April 25 a Secret Ser-
vice agent began exchang-
ing emails with Hecker,
who allegedly continued to
send out more written
threats.
After it was determined
last week that Hecker had
signed on to a computer at
the Waynesboro Public Li-
brary, Secret Service agents
arrested him on the side of a
street.
Hecker refused to be
sworn in during an appear-
ance Friday in federal court
in Charlottesville. He told a
magistrate judge he didnt
want an attorney, wanted to
be sentenced immediately
and is seeking the death
penalty.
Hecker was ordered to un-
dergo a psychological eval-
uation from the Valley Com-
munity Services Board.
Man accused of
Obama threats
An affidavit states the
threats were emailed to
various media outlets.

WASHINGTON Vice Presi-
dent Joe Bidensays hes absolute-
ly comfortable with gay couples
who marry getting the same civil
rights and liberties as heterosexu-
al couples, a stand that gay rights
advocates interpretedas anendor-
sement of same-sex marriage.
But the White House and Presi-
dent Barack Obamas re-election
campaign, eager to avoid a debate
on a hot-button social issue in an
election year, insisted that Biden
was not breaking ranks with Oba-
ma, who does not publicly sup-
port gay marriage.
Biden told NBCs Meet the
Press that marriage should be
about being loyal to someone you
love, whether that marriage is be-
tween a man and a woman, two
men or two women. I am abso-
lutely comfortable with the fact
that men marrying men, women
marrying women and heterosexu-
al men and women marrying one
another are entitled to the same
exact rights, all the civil rights, all
the civil liberties, Biden said in
the interview broadcast Sunday.
Gay rights advocates said Bi-
dens comments signaled unmis-
takable support for gay marriage,
which they said made him the
highest-ranking member in the
Obama administration to take
that position.
Imgrateful that the vice presi-
dent of the United States is now
publicly supporting marriage
equality and I hope very soon the
president and the rest of our lead-
ers, Republicans and Democrats
in Congress, will fall in line with
the vice president, said Chad
Griffin, a gay rights supporter and
a member of the Obama cam-
paigns national finance commit-
tee.
Joe Solmonese, the president of
the Human Rights Campaign,
said his group was encouraged by
Bidens comments and called on
Obama to speak out for full mar-
riage equality for same-sex cou-
ples.
While Obama opposes gay mar-
riage, he says his personal views
on the matter are evolving and
has noted that polls show Amer-
icans are increasingly supporting
same-sex marriage.
Biden, a devout Catholic, has
said previously that his personal
views, as well as the countrys, on
gay marriage are evolving.
The vice presidents office said
Sunday after the interview aired
that Bidens comments were not
an endorsement of gay marriage,
but simply a reaffirmation of his
belief that same-sex couples de-
serve the same rights and protec-
tions as all Americans.
David Axelrod, a senior adviser
to the Obama campaign, chimed
in on Twitter, saying Biden and
Obama share the view that all
married couples should have the
same legal rights.
For the Obama campaign, gay
marriage has become a vexing
election-year issue.
Each time the campaign pro-
motes the presidents extensive
work in advancing gay rights, in-
cluding ending the militarys ban
on openly gay service members, it
is reminded of the one area where
the president has fallen short in
the eyes of gay rights advocates.
Several Democrats are pushing
for Obama to include support for
gay marriage in the partys plat-
form, whichwill befinalizedat the
Democratic convention this sum-
mer.
Campaign officials have played
down the notion that Obamas po-
sition on gay marriage will
evolve before the November
election. They say Obamas record
in supporting other gay rights is-
sues stands in stark contrast to his
Republican challenger Mitt Rom-
ney, an ardent opponent of gay
marriage and other benefits for
same-sex couples.
One gay rights advocate said
that even before the NBC inter-
view, Biden had been hinting that
his personal views of gay marriage
may have evolved more quickly
than the presidents.
Biden OK with all rights for gay couples
Backers of gay marriage praise
the vice presidents words, but
his staff qualifies them.

Editorial
We are allowing our standards to
erode.
James Amos
The Marine Corps commandant wrote a blunt
assessment to his commanders concerning a
perceived lack of discipline among troops that has
discredited the corps and potentially jeopardized strategy. Other U.S.
defense leaders also are speaking out about high-profile incidents of
bad behavior in Afghanistan.
WITH AMERICANS per-
haps more divided than ever,
imagine a rare source of
bipartisan acclaim that
would spawn more Made in
the USA labels and fewer
that read Made in China.
That is precisely what could happen if the
shale gas boom continues to thrive and cata-
pult Americas flagging manufacturing sector
into a long-overdue renaissance.
Domestic manufacturing has taken a nose-
dive in the past few decades, as a tour of some
of the most economically depressed areas in
the Rust Belt attests. By most accounts, pub-
lic opinion on the overall state of U.S. energy
is similarly bleak. About 71 percent of those
surveyed in a recent CNN/ORC poll say high
gasoline prices have caused financial hard-
ship.
However, its not all bad news on the energy
front. Thanks to an innovative drilling tech-
nology called hydraulic fracturing, energy
producers are able to extract previously in-
accessible deposits of shale gas; and domestic
manufacturers that purchase this fuel now
have a cost advantage with one of shales
byproducts, polyethylene. The most common
form of plastic, polyethylene is used in count-
less finished goods, primarily in containers
and other packaging. Considering that in 2010
the United States imported $264 million
worth of plastic goods from China, any cost
advantage American manufacturers can gain
with plastic is a good one.
Shale gas production similarly can spur
construction of plants that buy natural gas for
fuel or as raw material to make chemicals,
plastics, fertilizer, steel and other products. A
report by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC esti-
mated that such investments could create 1
million U.S. manufacturing jobs over the next
15 years. PricewaterhouseCoopers also pre-
dicts that shale gas development could add
approximately 1 million jobs by 2025, encour-
age greater investments in U.S. plants and
reduce U.S. manufacturers natural gas ex-
penses by as much as $11.6 billion annually
through 2025.
With announcements of new manufacturing
plants opening up across Pennsylvania, Shells
decision to build the first petrochemical plant
in the Philadelphia region and a Charlotte,
N.C.-based steelmakers construction of a
$750 million plant to produce iron from nat-
ural gas and iron-ore pellets in Louisiana, it is
no wonder that many people see the respon-
sible development of shale gas resources as a
game changer, boosting economic output
and creating high-wage, high-skilled jobs
throughout North America.
Unfortunately, the energy manufacturing
industry is facing a bevy of increased regu-
lations and punitive taxes that could upend
this progress. In fact, the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Labor and Industry estimates
that 36,618 jobs could be in jeopardy because
of looming closures of the ConocoPhillipss
Trainer and Sunocos Marcus Hook refineries,
plus the regions largest, soon-to-be-closed
Sunoco Philadelphia refinery. Given that these
three refineries represent 50 percent of the
Northeasts refining capacity, these closures
could bring about even higher prices at the
gas pump. One example of ill-devised regu-
lation that is driving gas prices higher and
refiners out of business is the Environmental
Protection Agencys fuel blend mandate that
charges refiners $6.8 million in penalties for
not using enough cellulosic biofuel in gasoline
even though the technology doesnt exist on
the commercial market.
A strong record of job growth is a surefire
way toward re-election. What some lawmak-
ers fail to understand, however, is that their
rush to respond to energy crises can erase
much of the progress borne from American
ingenuity in the private sector. Regulators
need to stand clear and let our energy manu-
facturing sector realize its renaissance.
Natural gas drilling could help revive U.S. manufacturing

COMMENTARY

REEDOM OF expres-
sion is fundamental to
a successful democra-
cy. Writers and jour-
nalists who expose corruption
and wrongdoing must know
that they will not be killed for
their efforts.
Mexicos democracy is under
assault because of the author-
ities apparent inability to pro-
tect the bloggers, writers and
broadcasters who cover the
drug trade. Eighty journalists
have been killed in the last 12
years.
The latest victim to be si-
lencedby the drugcartels is Re-
gina Martinez, a writer for Pro-
ceso magazine. She was found
strangled in her bathroom in
Xalapa, the capital of Veracruz
state, onApril 28. Her recent re-
ports told of the arrests of nine
municipal police officers sus-
pected of ties to drug traffick-
ers, and the arrest of a woman
suspected of commanding hit
men. For those stories of narco-
corruption, she gave her life.
Mexico must do more to end
this culture of impunity. The
Senates recent approval of a
constitutional amendment to
transfer responsibility for pros-
ecuting attacks on the press to
federal authorities is an impor-
tant step forward.
Mexico is in the throes of a
presidential electioncampaign,
and frontrunner Enrique Pena
Nieto has said his party will
urge state legislatures to sup-
port the amendment.
Mexico has made impressive
electoral, political and econom-
ic reforms. But to safeguard its
democracy, the country must
turnits attentiontojudicial and
policereforms andshowits citi-
zens that those who murder
writers will be brought to jus-
tice. The countrys progress
and reputation depend on it.

Districts should convert
buses to use natural gas
W
hen funding cutbacks to school dis-
tricts were announced, they came at
a time when the cost of fuel kept
rising. It was reported there are 140,000
stations across the country selling gasoline
and diesel made from oil that is more than
$100 per barrel.
The opposite is true for natural gas that
is so plentiful the price of 1,000 cubic feet
is at a 10-year low. There is so much of it,
gas drillers are considering cutbacks on
their production. Oil companies apparently
dont want to cut profits by adding a pump
for natural gas.
If you do an Internet search using the
words compressed natural gas school
bus, it turns out there are school districts
across the country converting their fleets
to natural gas.
Every school district that sits on Marcel-
lus Shale territory should be taking ad-
vantage of it.
Instead of giving loans to solar panel
manufacturers, President Obama should be
providing loans to natural gas utilities to
install more fueling stations for school
buses.

the Susquehannas watershed,
began encouraging drillers to use
acid mine drainage when fractur-
ing by reducing or eliminating
permit fees for lesser-qualitywa-
ters, including water contami-
nated by mining and public
wastewater.
It has since gone a step further
in requiring companies that ap-
ply to withdrawfresh water from
sources close tomine water toex-
plain as part of their applications
why they are unwilling to use the
mine water instead.
Theyre going to have to justi-
fytous whytheyre not usingthat
impaired water, commission
spokeswoman Susan Obleski
said.
Acid mine drainage refers to
the outpouring of water that has
run its course through mine
workings, where it has picked up
minerals often sulfides and
has often acquired an acidic pH.
Its use in hydraulic fracturing
could have two environmental
advantages: It could reduce the
amount of higher-quality water
withdrawn from rivers and
streams for use indrillingandthe
treating the water for use in drill-
ing could reduce the amount of
mine water flowing elsewhere.
For those reasons the idea has
captured the interest if not the
outright support of environmen-
tal groups.
Many of these abandoned
mine sites have the potential to
become coldwater streams and
high-quality trout fisheries, said
Amy G. Wolfe, director of the
Eastern Abandoned Mine Pro-
gram for national environmental
group Trout Unlimited. This is a
phenomenal good-citizen oppor-
tunity here for the natural gas in-
dustry to work with their local
communities and watershed
groups in utilizing this source of
water and cleaning it up.
Fresh water withdrawals arent
harmful in and of themselves,
Wolfe said, but truck traffic to
and from withdrawal sites and
the construction of roads leading
tothemcontributetoerosionand
sedimentation, which can impair
water quality.
It impacts trout spawning
habitats (and) trout habitats in
general, she said. I think the
good thing about the use of mine
drainage water is that in aban-
doned mine work environments
in many areas you already have
existing road infrastructure.

Reclamation remediates acid
mine drainage in the eastern por-
tion of the state.
Executive Director Robert
Hughes said his group is also in-
terested in the idea, and any op-
portunity topartner withprivate-
sector interests to remediate the
problem, including power plants
that use large volumes of water.
The natural gas industry is also
interested, and late last year the
Marcellus Shale Coalition, an in-
dustry group representing most
of the companies drilling for gas
in Pennsylvania, hosted a confer-
ence on the feasibility of using
mine water in fracturing.
A key finding of that confer-
ence was that while mine waters
abundance makes it attractive, it
is so plentiful the gas industrys
thirst would never be enough to
solve the mine water problem
alone.
Coal water in and around Pitts-
burgh alone could provide two to
seven times the water needed by
the industry annually, Paul Ziem-
kiewicz of the West Virginia Wa-
ter ResearchInstitute reportedat
the conference.
But Hughes said the industrys
involvement could still help.
What we see is, theres so
many discharges out there in the
region that dont have treatment
systems on them to where we
might be able to support aquatic
life downstream, Hughes said.
Some of the discharges we feel
can probably be cleaned up quite
easily if other private industries
come into play, because the state
doesnt have enoughmoney todo
it all.
Old Forge borehole
For example, Hughes said that
about 100 million gallons of wa-
ter passes daily through the Old
Forge borehole, Luzerne Coun-
tys largest producer of mine
drainage, depositing more than
5,000 tons of iron into the Sus-
quehanna River.
If more partners were available
to help remediate problems like
the borehole, state environmen-
tal workers and nonprofits could
devote more resources to closing
points of ingress into the mines,
which could in turn greatly re-
duce the volume of water flowing
through the mines, Hughes said.
Participants at the Marcellus
Shale Coalition-sponsored con-
ference showed consensus that
gas drillers would probably not
encounter economically signifi-
cant problems in hydraulic frac-
turing with much of the mine wa-
ter available, though the pH and
mineral content of mine drainage
varies widely and can affect its
suitability for use in drilling.
A cost analysis by Penn State
professor David Yoxtheimer
foundthat using mine drainage is
more expensive thanother sourc-
es of water for fracturing, but the
cost could be reduced where the
water source and well are located
in close proximity.

GUANTANAMOBAY NAVAL
BASE, Cuba The defense
team for Khalid Shaikh Mo-
hammed, charged with capital
murder in the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks, onSundayangrilycalled
the military commission legal
process a political "regime" set
up to put him and the four other
defendants to death.
David Nevin, Mohammeds ci-
vilian attorney, said new rules
imposed under the Obama ad-
ministration bar them from dis-
cussing with their clients wheth-
er they were mistreated by U.S.
authorities in the case of Mo-
hammed, "tortured" after
their arrests eight years ago.
"We are operating under a re-
gime here," Nevin said. "We are
forbidden fromtalking to our cli-
ents about very important mat-
ters.
"And now the government
wants to kill Mr. Mohammed.
They want to extinguish the last
eyewitness so he can never talk
about his torture. They want the
political cover sohell beconvict-
ed and executed."
According to CIA accounts
and other documents, Mo-
hammed, the self-proclaimed
mastermindof theSept. 11, 2001,
attacks, was subjected 183 times
to waterboarding at a classified
CIA site before he was moved to
the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
On Saturday he and four al-
leged Sept. 11comrades were ar-
raigned on conspiracy, terrorism
and murder charges. They de-
ferred entering pleas of guilt or
innocence in the case, with the
government planning to seek
five death sentences.
Army Gen. Mark Martins, the
chief prosecutor, said Sunday
that the public shouldremember
Sept. 11and what happened that
morning when nearly 3,000 peo-
ple died at New Yorks World
Trade Center, the Pentagon out-
side Washington and a field in
western Pennsylvania.
"The enemy force," he said,
"was sophisticated, patient, dis-
ciplined and lethal."
Martins vigorously defended
the military tribunal process,
and said it was fair to both sides.
"However long the journey,
and the arraignment was only
the start of a legal process that
could take many months," he
said, "the United States is com-
mitted to gaining accountability
for those who attacked and
killed innocent people."
He said defense lawyers can
talk to their clients, but cannot
showthemclassified documents
that disclose harsh treatment.
Otherwise, he said, "they can
talk to their clients about any-
thing."
He added that even if there
was some form of torture, it
should not "pollute" the entire
case.
"The remedy is not to just dis-
miss all the charges," he said. "It
does not mean that everybody
goes free, that everybody is free
of accountability just because
somebody else did something
wrong. Thats not good."
Rather, he said, it is important
for the case to proceed and the
public to decide its fairness.
"This will be inthe highest tra-
ditions of our country," Martins
said. "Its important that people
realize that this will be done me-
thodically and patiently. Justice
in every society is methodical,
determined and patient."
On the accusation that prose-
cutors are purposely seeking the
death penalty, the brigadier gen-
eral said their goal is simply to
submit the case to a jury of 12
U.S. military service members.
"Thats what we want," he
said. "Thats justice, I believe. It
will be a real jury, and we will
trust this thing with them.
These people will be impartial,
and thats whats going to hap-
pen.
"This death penalty stuff is
premature. We are trying to put
this through the process."
Martins also defended women
on his prosecution team who he
said were dressed "appropriate-
ly" at the arraignment Saturday.
He was responding to com-
plaints from Cheryl Bormann, a
Chicago defense attorney for
Walid bin Attash who wore a
long black abaya to court.
On Sunday, Bormann said her
client is offendedby womenwho
do not dress in conservative Is-
lamic attire, feelingthat it causes
him to sin. "It is distracting to
himtoseea womanwhohas any-
thing bare other than her face,"
she said.
She added that she has met
with her client a dozen times,
and always dresses respectfully.
"He is that conservative," she
said.
James Connell, civilian attor-
ney for Ammar al Baluchi, aka
Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, notedthat the
five defendants coordinated a si-
lent protest at the arraignment,
refusing to answer the judges
questions. Except for one very
short outburst, their behavior
was sharply different from their
last public hearingfour years ago
when they shouted that they
hoped their executions would
win them martyrdom.
"The accused participated in
peaceful resistance to an unjust
system," Connell said of their si-
lent, defiant behavior Saturday.
"These men have endured years
of inhumane treatment and
torture. This treatment has had
serious long-term effects and
will ultimately infect every as-
pect of this military commission
tribunal."

WILKES-BARRE Chris Wa-
das led a field of 124 runners and
wonthe WyomingValleyStriders
38th annual Cherry Blossom 5
Mile Foot Race in Kirby Park on
Sunday.
The race is the second leg of
the Striders Triple Crown.
Wadas, 30, of Courtdale,
blitzed the course which was
probably closer to 5.1 miles in
length breaking the tape in 27
minutes, 15 seconds. Jeff
Skwierz, 29, of Forty Fort, who
was the only runner who could
stay anywhere near Wadas
throughout therace, finishedsec-
ond, 32 seconds behind the win-
ner. Sean Robbins, 42, of Shaver-
town, the areas top male triath-
lete, finished a distant third, 1:12
behind Skwierz.
It was just me and Chris out
there, said Skwierz, who ran for
Lock Haven University, Chris
took it out fast. So I just tried to
stay with him and get a good
time.
But there was no catching Wa-
das.
I went out a little hard at the
start, said Wadas, who is the
head track and cross country
coach at Misericordia University
and runs for the Keystone Track
Club of Harrisburg. It got a little
hot once the sun came out. But I
was able to hold it together.
Deedra Porfirio, 35, of West
Pittston, won the female division
easily, finishing 11th overall in
33:21. Porfirios closest female
competitor, Ann Zoranski, 41, of
Swoyersville, finished second in
35:05. Whitney Lukas, 19, of
Courtdale, finished third, 10 sec-
onds behind Zoranski.
Porfirio, who is normally a fast
starter, got stuck behind some
runners at the start and had to
jockey her way around some peo-
ple before she could really get go-
ing. But once she did that, she
passed a few females and moved
into the lead quite quickly.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. In the sec-
ond period of Sundays Game 4 match-
up against the St. Johns IceCaps, the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins saw
their two-goal lead erased.
Twenty seven seconds into over-
time, they saw their hopes for a win
fade away as well.
The Penguins gave upa 2-0first peri-
od lead, allowing St. Johns to tie it in
the second period and eventually force
overtime. And it didnt take long for
the Penguins to suf-
fer a 3-2 loss to fall
behind in the East-
ernConference semi-
final series 3-1.
The loss was the
second straight over-
time defeat for the
Penguins, who were
stunned by the out-
come but not sur-
prised at how close
the games in the se-
ries have been.
Coming in we felt
there would be over-
time games and one-
goal games, said
Penguins head coach
JohnHynes. Theres
not a lot of space out
there, not a lot of of-
fense and the goalies
are playing well. Its
nothing we didnt ex-
pect.
After Saturdays 2-1 overtime loss,
the Penguins expected to come out to
a good start on Sunday and they did
just that by scoring twice in the first
seven minutes.
Colin McDonald struck first when
he stickhandled around two IceCaps
defenders and placed a shot into the
wide side of the net for his 5th playoff
goal.
Two minutes later, Eric Tangradi
put home a Geoff Walker pass to give
the Penguins a 2-0 lead in the first peri-
od.
Both goals came on the Penguins
first two shots of the game.
With all the shots we got (on Sat-
urday) we knew we needed to contin-
ue doing that and it would pay off,
McDonald said. The guys were ready
to play tonight.

WASHINGTON Cole
Hamels gave up five hits over
eight innings and Hunter
Pence hit a pair of two-run
home runs to lead the Philadel-
phia Phillies to a 9-3 win
against the Washington Nation-
als on Sunday night.
Hamels was in line for his
11th career complete game as
he batted to lead off the ninth.
The Phillies offense then
batted around, scoring six
runs, and Hamels was lifted for
pinch-hitter John Mayberry
when his spot came up the
second time in the inning.
The Phillies snapped a sev-
en-game losing streak against
Washington dating back to last
year and avoided the sweep in
the three-game series.
Washington rookie Bryce
Harper stole home in the first
inning.
Mets 3, Diamondbacks 1
NEW YORK R.A. Dickey
baffled the Diamondbacks with
his knuckleball, pitching shut-
out ball into the ninth inning
to lead the New York Mets
over Arizona.
Dickey (4-1) allowed four
hits in eight-plus innings,
struck out four and walked
four, coming within three outs
of what would have been his
third career shutout.
Reds 5, Pirates 0
PITTSBURGH Mat Latos
struck out a career-high 11 over
six sharp innings to lead the
Cincinnati Reds to a victory
over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Astros 8, Cardinals 1
HOUSTON Tyler Greene
hit a career-high two homers
and drove in four runs, Adam
Wainwright continued his
dominance of the Astros and
the St. Louis Cardinals got a
win over Houston.
Cubs 4, Dodgers 3
CHICAGO David DeJesus
drew a bases-loaded walk in
the bottom of the 11th inning
to lift the Chicago Cubs to a
victory over the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
Braves 7, Rockies 2
DENVER Brandon Bea-
chy pitched effectively into the
seventh inning, Freddie Free-
man hit a three-run homer and
the Atlanta Braves beat the
Colorado Rockies for a three-
game sweep.
Giants 4, Brewers 3
SAN FRANCISCO Pinch-
hitter Hector Sanchez singled
over a five-man infield with the
bases loaded in the 11th inning,
lifting the San Francisco Giants
to a victory over the Milwau-
kee Brewers to take the three-
game series.
Marlins 6, Padres 3
SAN DIEGO Ricky No-
lasco remained unbeaten, Gian-
carlo Stanton drew a bases-
loaded walk to force in the
tiebreaking run in the eighth
inning and the Miami Marlins
beat the San Diego Padres for
their season-best sixth straight
victory.

ANAHEIM, Calif. Albert
Pujols finally hit a home run
for the Los Angeles Angels,
ending the longest power
drought of his career Sunday in
a 4-3 win over the Toronto
Blue Jays.
Pujols connected in the fifth
inning for his first AL homer
and the 446th overall. When he
returned to the dugout, he had
it all to himself. No players, no
coaches, no batboys.
Orioles 9, Red Sox 6
BOSTON In the first
major league game since 1925
in which both teams put a
position player on the mound,
Baltimore designated hitter
Chris Davis overcame an awful
day at the plate by pitching
two scoreless innings and get-
ting the win as the Orioles
outlasted Boston.
Davis went 0 for 8, striking
out five times and grounding
into a double play. But in a
season full of surprises for the
Orioles, a first baseman by
trade delivered the biggest one
yet in a crazy game at Fenway
Park.
Indians 4, Rangers 2
CLEVELAND Ubaldo
Jimenez pitched seven score-
less innings and Cleveland
handed Texas rookie Yu Dar-
vish (4-1) his first major league
loss.
Yankees 10, Royals 4

19-3 win over the San Francisco Giants. Montreal
added five runs in the fifth to set a National League
record for runs in consecutive innings with 18.

run homer in the fifth, then added a three-run drive
later in the same inning to lead the Giants to a 9-4
win over New York.
2008 Carlos Gomez became the first Minnesota
player to hit for the cycle in 22 years in a13-1victory
over the Chicago White Sox. Gomez homered off
Mark Buehrle on the games third pitch. He added
an RBI triple in the fifth, doubled in a run in the sixth
and completed the cycle with an infield single to
lead off a six-run ninth.
2008 Joey Votto hit three homers as Cincinnati
beat Chicago 9-0. Jon Lieber became only the sec-
ondpitcher inCubs history togiveupfour homers in
an inning. Votto started a four-homer second inning
off Lieber, who was making his first start of the sea-

and Jerry Hairston Jr.s two-run homer completed
the history-matching rally.
2009 Los Angeles Dodgers star Manny Ramirez
was suspended for 50 games by Major League
Baseball. Ramirez tested positive for HCG, human
chorionic gonadotropin, which is popular among
steroid users because it can mitigate the side ef-
fects of ending a cycle of the drugs.
2009 New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera
gave up home runs to consecutive batters for the
first time in his major league career, with Carl Craw-
ford and Evan Longoria connecting in the ninth in-
ning of Tampa Bays 8-6 victory. Rivera had not giv-
en up back-to-back homers in 862 games coming

league record with12 runs in an inning before mak-
ing an out in a 13-3 win over Cleveland. Jason Bay

other batters had two-run hits in the sixth. The Red
Sox tied the mark set by the Brooklyn Dodgers on
May 24, 1953. The previous AL record was set by
the Tigers, who scored 11 runs in the sixth inning in
a 19-1 win at the Yankees on June 17, 1925.

Fantasy base-
ball, at times,
can be an exer-
cise in frustra-
tion. After all,
you are dealing
with a sport
where the
games all-time batting average
leader failed 7,245 times.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb had
over 11,434 at bats in his career
and 4,189 hits. That may be a
.366 batting average, but its also
a .634 take a seat average.
(Granted thats not counting his
1,249 walks, but thats too much
math to figure out on a weekend
anyway. And you get the point.
Hopefully.)
The fickle nature of the game
is why you dont judge success
or failure based on a small sam-
ple size like the first month.
Trends are starting to appear,
but they need to survive May
before you can buy into them.
With that in mind, here are
five players who have shown
early-season promise, and may
thats MAY be some fantasy
coal ready to be shaped into a
diamond. Theres no guarantees
theyll be fantasy stars, mind
you, but theyve got time to
prove it.
And since these guys are the
ultimate risk/reward players,
then what better method to help
analyze their potential, than the
completely scientific and De-
partment of Weights and Mea-
sures-approved Magic 8 Ball.
Enjoy.
CHRIS DAVIS, 1B, ORIOLES:
There was a time when Davis
was an up-and-comer with the
Texas Rangers. He hit 17 HRs in
2008 in just 80 games, and hit 21
in 09 in 113 games. Thats 30-
plus potential over a whole
season. Problem is, he struck
out a TON and his average did a
Triple Lindy into the .230s, so
Texas lost faith in him. Now, he
finds himself batting sixth in a
pretty potent Baltimore lineup
hitting .326 with 5 HRs and 14
RBIs. That works out to a full
season of 28 HRs and 80 RBIs.
Not too shabby. But can he keep
that pace up? The answer is
Reply hazy, try again.
PEDRO ALVAREZ, 3B, PI-
RATES: When Pittsburgh took
him with the second overall pick
in the 2008 draft, they figured
they were getting a star third
baseman. Alvarez flashed some
promise when he was first called
up in 2010, smacking 16 HRs in
95 games. Problem is, he hasnt
flashed much since. Four home
runs in 2011 didnt help the
Pirates or fantasy owners who
targeted him as a sleeper pick.
Expectations were tempered for
2012, but there are signs he may
be figuring this baseball thing
out. A recent hot streak has
raised his numbers to .253 with
7 HRs and 15 RBIs. So, has a
star been born in the Steel City?
. Signs point to yes.
DAVID ROBERTSON, RP,
YANKEES: Robertsons not on
this list for any unrealized talent
questions. Since the start of
2011, hes been one of the ALs
best relievers. Hes here because
he may inherit closer duties
from Mariano Rivera and his
busted knee. Then again, Rafael
Soriano is also in the running
for that spot. Manager Joe Gi-
rardi has been non-committal,
saying that both pitchers will
share the load. Soriano has had
success closing in the past. But
Robertson has been nearly un-
hittable this year. Someones
going to emerge as the primary
guy and rack up a ton of saves.
Heres putting money on Robert-
son. The 8-Ball agrees. You
may rely on it.
JOSE ALTUVE, 2B, ASTROS:
Batting average, runs and stolen
bases are as valuable in fantasy
as HRs and RBIs. And Altuve
has been providing them in
bunches for Houston. It really
should not come as much of a
surprise. He made Baseball
Americas Minor League All-Star
team and played in the MLB
All-Stars Futures Game in 2011.
Now hes batting .346 as leadoff
hitter for a not-quite-so-terrible
Astros offense, and seems likely
to continue putting up good
numbers. Altuve? Yes way! .
Outlook good.
CODY RANSOM, 3B-SS,
DIAMONDBACKS: Up until
now, the journeyman utility
infielder has been most famous
for for ummmm. Let me
get back to you on that. In a
career spent bouncing from San
Francisco, Houston, New York,
Philly and Arizona, hes never
hit more than four HRs in a
season or driven in more than
11. Yet, somehow in 2012, hes
sporting a .345 average with 3
HRs and 10 RBIs. Full season
translation: 18 homers and 60
RBIs. But, will he produce at
that level? Sorry Cody. My
sources say no.

Rich Sheposh writes about fantasy
baseball for The Times Leader.
the second period, however, as
St. Johns scored on the power
play at 4:24 and again at 16:35 af-
ter keeping the puck in the Pen-
guins end for an eternity.
Maxime Macenauer finished
things off with a wrister fromthe
slot to even things up, 2-2.
We didnt take away time and
space as much as we had been in
our D zone. There was a lt of cy-
cle time and it was a long shift in
our D zone, Hynes said.
After the first two periods, St.
Johns outshot the Penguins 20-
12 and Brad Thiessen was forced
to come up with several big
saves. The two goals by the Ice-
Caps markedthe thirdtime inthe
series that the Penguins have giv-
en up a lead.
Its something we have to talk
about, Hynes said.
In overtime, the Penguins lost
a faceoff intheir endandthe puck
wound up around the crease.
With a jam-up in front, St. Johns
Ben Maxwell was able to poke a
loose puck past Brad Thiessen
for the game-winner just 27 sec-
onds into overtime.
Despite suffering back-to-back
overtime losses, the Penguins
arent dwelling on the fact that
they came so close yet now find
themselves one loss away from
being eliminated.
You have to forget about it,
McDonald said. Its done with.
You have to park it and worry
about Tuesday (Game 5).

TALLADEGA, Ala. The
leader on the last lap isnt sup-
posed to win at Talladega Super-
speedway. Everybodyknowsthat.
BradKeselowski disagrees, and
he showed how to do it Sunday
with a calculated plan that sent
him to Victory Lane.
Keselowski used a big push
from Kyle Busch to pass leader
Matt Kenseth, and after leaving
the Daytona 500 winner in their
wake, Keselowski staved off
Buschsattempt tosnatchthewin.
Using a move Keselowski said he
haddreamedabout, heheldonfor
his second win of the season and
second at Talladega.
I had this whole plan if I ever
got in that situation where I was
leading; I thought about it and
thought about it, dreamed about
what to do, and sure enough, go-
ing into (turn) three, it was just
me and Kyle, Keselowski said. I
knewthemoveI wantedtopull. It
worked because the guy running
second should have the advan-
tage, but I had this move all
worked up in my mind.
Keselowski was the first driver
in the last five races at Talladega
to take the white flag and hold on
for the win. He did it with a plan
that left both Busch and Kenseth
flat-footed, andbothpraisedKese-
lowski after the race.
Hes no dummy, thats for
sure, said Busch, who wound up
second for the
second consec-
utive day.
Busch was
the leader on
the last lap of
Saturdays Na-
tionwide Se-
ries race, and
was passed by Joey Logano right
at the finish line.
He conceded theres little the
leader can do to preserve the vic-
tory on the last lap of a restrictor-
plate race, and predicted how
Sunday would unfold.
If youre leading, being
pushed, plan on finishing second.
Thatsall thereistoit, Buschsaid
after Saturdays defeat.
So he should have been sitting
pretty after pushing Keselowski
to the front. Instead, Keselowski
went highintothethirdturn, then
pulled off of Buschs bumper to
create some separation.
That allowed me to drive un-
touched to the checkered flag,
Keselowski said. It wasnt easyto
convince myself to do that, but it
was the right move.
Busch initially seemed dumb-
founded.
I must have screwed some-
thing up, because we got to turn
three and came unhooked,
Busch said. Just gave the win
away over there. Not sure exactly
what happened. We definitely
need to go back and figure out
what it was.

QUAKERTOWN The Mi-
sericordia baseball team used a
dominant pitching performance
from Pete Doggett to beat De-
Sales, 8-2, Sunday in Quaker-
town, forcing a decisive game
for the Freedom Conference ti-
tle, set for 7:30 p.m. tonight.
Doggett went 7 2/3 innings
allowing just three hits and two
earned runs while striking out
three.
Kenny Durling led the Cou-
gars with three hits. Jeff Slano-
vec and Nate Hamlin both had
two hits.
Earlier in the day, Slanovecs
long fly ball single completed a
three-run ninth inning rally to
lift the Misericordia to a 5-4 win
over Manhattanville to advance
to the Freedom Conference
championship game.
Slanovec led Misericordia
with three hits. Bubba Jasinksi,
Ryan Cacchioli and Nate Ham-
lin all added two hits.
Corey Lee pitched a perfect
ninth inning to pick up the win
in relief of Gabe Noyalis who al-
lowed seven hits over eight in-
nings.

World champion Mark Ca-
vendish of Britain won the sec-
ond stage of the Giro dItalia in
a sprint finish Sunday. Taylor
Phinney of the U.S. finished
fourth but kept the overall lead
despite a broken bike chain.
Cavendish was led out by
Welsh teammate Geraint Tho-
mas in the 128-mile loop start-
ing and ending in Herning. It
was his eighth stage victory in
the Giro.
The Team Sky cyclist edged
Matt Goss of Australia and fin-

NEW YORK Carmelo
Anthony scored 41 points,
Amare Stoudemire had 20
points and 10 rebounds in his
return from a cut hand, and the
New York Knicks snapped an
NBA-record, 13-game playoff
losing streak, beating the Miami
Heat 89-87 Sunday in Game 4 of
their first-round series.
Anthony made a tiebreaking
3-pointer with 54.5 seconds left
as the Knicks overcame another
serious injury to win a playoff
game for the first time since
April 29, 2001. Baron Davis
dislocated his right kneecap in
the third quarter, just as the
Knicks were making the run
that got them back into the
game after a dismal first half.
LeBron James scored 27 for
the Heat, who will try to close it
out in Game 5 at home on
Wednesday. Dwyane Wade had
22 points but missed a 3-point
attempt with 1.6 seconds left
that would have given Miami a
lengthy rest before starting the
second round.
Wades errant shot set off a
loud celebration from Knicks
fans who hadnt seen their team
win in the postseason since
beating the Toronto Raptors in
Game 3 of a best-of-five series. It
didnt look as if the victory
would come in this series, after
the Knicks had been blown out
by 20 points per game in the
first three games.
But they got a huge spark
from Stoudemire, playing with
padding over his hand just six
days after badly cutting it when
he punched a fire extinguisher
case after a Game 2 loss in Mia-
mi.
76ers 89, Bulls 82
PHILADELPHIA Spencer
Hawes scored 22 points and
Jrue Holiday had 20 to help
Philadelphia beat top-seeded
Chicago for a 3-1 lead in the
first-round series.
Andre Iguodala had 14 points
and 12 rebounds for the Sixers,
who have won the last three
games after dropping Game 1 in
Chicago.
Holiday stretched the lead
with consecutive 3-pointers late
in the game to put the Sixers
one win away from becoming
only the fifth No. 8 seed to win
an opening round series. Mem-
phis pulled it off last season
against San Antonio, and Gold-
en State (2007), New York
(1999) and Denver (1994) also
accomplished the rare feat
Game 5 is Tuesday in Chica-
go.
Celtics 101, Hawks 79
BOSTON Paul Pierce
scored 24 points in 18 minutes
and the Boston Celtics opened a
37-point third-quarter lead be-
fore coasting to a 101-79 victory
over the Atlanta Hawks on Sun-
day night to take a 3-1 lead in
the best-of-seven series.
The Celtics can finish off the
Hawks in Atlanta on Tuesday.
Game 6 would be in Boston on
Thursday, if necessary.
Two nights after his triple-
double helped turn back the
Hawks in overtime in Game 3,
Rajon Rondo had 20 points and
16 assists as the Celtics got
some much-needed rest for their
aging and injured roster. Josh
Smith returned after missing
Fridays game and had 15 points
and 13 rebounds for Atlanta. Al
Horford, who played for the first
time in almost four months,
scored 12 points.

just tried to keep pace with
some guys who were running
near me, said Porfirio. At a
couple of the turnarounds, I
could see there were no females
pressuring me. So I settled into
a good, steady pace the rest of
the way.
Bornfase Nyandusi Omurwa
and Kelly Ciravolo, the male
and female winners of the Win-
ters End (4.5-mile) Run (the
first leg of the Triple Crown)
didnt compete in the Cherry
Blossom 5 miler, so they wont
be eligible for Triple Crown
honors. AndWadas didnt runin
the Winters End race. So
Skwierz, who finishedsecondin
both races, nowleads in the Tri-
ple Crown competition. Porfirio
finished second, among the fe-
males, in the Winters End race.
So she now leads the female di-
vision of the Triple Crown.
The final leg of the Triple
Crown will be the Summers
End 10Km Run, set for Sept. 22
at Kirby Park at 9 a.m.
SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
ANNOUNCED
In2004, raceofficials fromthe
Striders running club added
TimThomas Memorial to the
Cherry Blossom 5 Mile Foot
Race name in memory of Tho-
mas, whowas a standout runner
from Plains Township and ran
for Bloomsburg University. He
died at age 31.
Each year Thomas widow,
Kim, contacts all of the Wyom-
ing Valley Conference guidance
counselors with the criteria for
entering a scholarship contest
in TimThomas name. The con-
test is for high school seniors
who plan to run at the college
level. Each contestant is asked
to write Kim a letter explaining
what running means to them.
Kim then picks two winners
(one boy and one girl) from the
letters that impress her the
most. Both winners then re-
ceive a $500 scholarship.
This years winners are: Jeff
Capaci of Holy Redeemer who
will attend Arizona State Uni-
versity and Angela Coco of
Wyoming Area who will attend
Kings College.
Capaci wrote about the three
things that running has done for
him: taught him to work hard,
to have a positive attitude and
making so many friends that
have become his running fam-
ily.
Coco wrote that she started
running at a young age when
her father influenced her to run
in the Jingle Bell Run at the
Dunmore YMCA, a race that
raises funds to fight arthritis.
She also wrote about how her
running friends share lifes joys
and problems with each other.
Kim said she read 35 letters
this year (the most in the nine
years since the contest started).
The contest has gotten big-
ger every year, Kim said.

Continued from Page 1B
Rainouts a
few Mondays
back allow
some time
with one of
The Times
Leaders most
unpredictable
apparatuses the microfilm
machine. Sometimes it sits
there lifeless, refusing to obey
any command. Then inexpli-
citly it begins to run like a
Ferrari.
Well, it wasnt up to top
speed that day, but performed
well enough to go back to
the first day of Wyoming
Valley Conference girls soccer
on April 4, 1990.
That day featured the
WVCs first shutout Bishop
Hoban blanking Bishop OReil-
ly 2-0. There was also the
first tie, a 2-2 game between
Lake-Lehman and Tunkhan-
nock.
But the real reason was to
honor the girls who scored
the first goal in their schools
programs when the league
started with seven teams.
The first goal in WVC girls
soccer history was scored by
Dallas Sue Richardson at 7:54
of the first quarter. (Four
20-minute quarters were
played back then). And the
WVCs first assist went to her
teammate, Wendy Hozempa.
This is, of course, based on
Dallas game and Hobans
game both starting on time.
Because Hobans Kerry Rogers
just missed the honor by
scoring at 9:38 of the first
quarter.
Other first-goal scorers on
opening day were:
Wyoming Seminarys Amy
Trynoski, 7:05 of the third
quarter.
Tunkhannocks Heather
Picchi, 1:09 of the fourth
quarter.
Lake-Lehmans Tammy
Jones, 11:47 of the fourth
quarter.
Crestwood had a bye on
opening day. Becca Castellino
scored the Comets first goal
the following day.
OReilly waited about a
week before Bridget Scott
converted a penalty kick for
the Queenswomens first goal.
STRANGE STAT DEPT.
Nine of the 10 games North
Pocono (6-4-1) has played this
season have been shutouts.
The lone exception was the
April 19 game where GAR
defeated the Trojans 4-2.
COACHES MEETING
A reminder to WVC coach-
es. There will be a meeting
at 6 p.m. May 20 at Marvel-
ous Muggs, which is off In-
terstate 81s Davis Street exit
in Moosic. The main topic
will be selecting all-star teams
for the divisions.
Attendance hasnt always
been great for some divisions
and the only people that
hurts are the players.
STAYING WITH THE BOYS
Although North Pocono will
leave the WVC for the Lacka-
wanna Conference in the fall,
coach Dave Davis wont be
going with the Trojans.
Davis has decided to remain
the boys coach and relinquish
the girls position. Like Dallas
coach Chris Scharff, family
played a part as Davis son
will be a freshman on the
boys team.
STILL MISSING
We know Hanover Area
defeated Wyoming Seminary
4-2 on April 11, but have yet
to receive the scoring sum-
mary.
And Crestwood topped Ha-
zleton Area on April 26, but
nothing was reported from it.
In order to have complete
stats and standings, it would
be nice if someone can send
the scoring summaries to
jerzar@timesleader.com.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. Andy
Pettitte hardly looked ready for
the majors in the first Triple-A
start of his comeback.
Pettitte pitched five shaky in-
nings Sunday and took the loss
as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees lost to Pawtucket 7-5.
The 39-year-old lefty allowed
five runs, three of them earned,
andeight hits inhis latest minor
league outing. He walked two,
including one batter with the
bases loaded, and struck out
five.
The feel for my offspeedstuff
just wasnt there. Im disap-
pointed Im not as sharp as I
wanted to be, Pettitte said.
Pettitte retired after the 2010
seasonandsat out last year. Hes
hoping to soon rejoin the Yan-
kees rotation.
Its inevitable for me to get
upthereandget inthemix, Pet-
titte said. Im trying to get
lockedinandgo as far as I canto
get focused.
Nardi Contreras, the Yankees
pitching coordinator, wouldnt
say what his recommendation
will be for Pettitte.
Ill let (Yankees general man-
ager) Mr. (Brian) Cashman
know what I saw. Itll be up to
(him), Contreras said.
Askedwhenhe thinks Pettitte
will be promoted, Contreras
smiled and said, Im sure soon-
er rather than later.
Pettitte threw59 of 92 pitches
for strikes.
My bullpenworkhas beenal-
most perfect. Every outing, ev-
ery side (session), Ive felt really
good. Im hoping when I do get
an opportunity that I can get ev-
erything going the way I hope
to, he said.
Pettitte has pitched four
times inthe minors this year. He
has a 3.71ERAin17 innings and
is expected to improve a strug-
gling Yankees rotation.
Overall, New York starters
had a 5.55 ERA and an 11-12 re-
cord; those figures deteriorate
to an 6.07 ERAand a 7-12 record
when excluding staff ace CCSa-
bathia.
Playing a game, regardless of
the location, was likely a wel-
comed occurrence for Pettitte,
who testified at the perjury trial
of former Yankee teammate
Roger Clemens on Wednesday.
Pettitte would not discuss de-
tails on that testimony, but said
he was glad it was over.
With the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre stadium undergoing a to-
tal reconstruction, the minor
league Yankees are playing their
entire home schedule in various
ballparks, with a majority of the
games being held in Rochester,
the home of Minnesotas Tri-
ple-A affiliate.
Pettittes start was originally
scheduled to be played in near-
by Batavia, but was moved on
three days notice due tothe par-
ent Yankees concerns about the
lower standards of the Single-A
facility and the ability to attract
a large number of fans.
The Rochester organization
announced the attendance of
13,584 was the largest ever in
their ballpark for a regular-sea-
son baseball game.

Fowler picks up first win
in playoff at Quail Hollow

The Associated Press
Scott Hartnell and Claude Gi-
roux scored first-period goals for
the Flyers, who once again were
a step slow.
The Flyers seemed to come
apart at the end of the game. De-
fenseman Kimmo Tomonen
tooka foolishpenalty inthe clos-
ing minutes and Philadelphia
never got off a good shot after
pulling goalie Ilya Bryzgalov in
the final minute.
In fact, Zubrus was about to
score into an empty net when he
was hooked. Still, the puck went
off his stick and into the net.
Thats howdominant the Dev-
ils were against a Flyers group
that has fallen apart after knock-
ing off the Pittsburgh Penguins.
New Jersey outshot Philadel-
phia 32-12 in the first two peri-
ods, but the shots advantage on-
ly translated into a 3-2 lead, with
the Devils scoring three in a row
to wipe out a 2-0 deficit.
Zubrus gave New Jersey its
first leadwith2:13 left inthe sec-
ond period. The Flyers actually
brokeupa 3-on-1breakintotheir
zone, but they lost sight of Zu-
brus, and AdamHenrique found
him all alone in front for a shot
that went in off Bryzgalov.
Moments before the goal, Bro-
deur stopped a shot from the
point by Timonen, and Hartnell
couldnt get off a good shot on
the rebound with Brodeur down
and the net open.
Sykora, who might have got-
ten a piece of Hartnells rebound
attempt, quickly led the 3-on-1
counterattack and the Devils
pulled ahead.
The Devils forced Flyers
coach Peter Laviolette to use his
timeout less than 5 minutes af-
ter the opening faceoff, and for a
couple of minutes it appeared to
be a magical move.
Getting a lift from its special
teams, Philadelphia jumped to a
2-0 lead.
Hartnell gave the Flyers the
lead, deflecting Girouxs shot
past Brodeur seconds after Tra-
vis Zajac was tripped and took a
retaliatory interference penalty.
Giroux, who had been invisi-
ble in the Devils wins in Games
2 and 3, doubled the margin at
13:40 by beating the birthday
boy on a 2-on-1short-handed tal-
ly after taking a great break-in-
pass from Maxime Talbot.
The goal came 13 seconds af-
ter PhiladelphiadefensemanAn-
dreas Lilja was called for trip-
ping, but the Devils didnt let the
man advantage go to waste.
Sykora cut the Devils deficit
in half late in the power play, re-
directing a nice cross-ice pass by
Zidlicky past Bryzgalov, who
was a little slow covering the
corner of the net after the defen-
seman made the pass from the
right point to the left edge of the
crease.
Zidlicky tied it with1:51left in
the period after the Flyers
seemed to lose sight of the de-
fensemanafter he pincheddown
from the right point. The puck
ended up on the left point and
fellow defenseman Bryce Salva-
dor found Zidlicky between the
circles for a redirection.

saves, and the eighth-seeded
Los Angeles Kings finished an
improbable four-game sweep
of the St. Louis Blues with a
3-1 victory Sunday, advancing
to the conference finals for
just the second time in club
history.
Rookie Jordan Nolan
scored an early goal for the
Kings, the first team in recent
NHL history to eliminate their
conferences top two seeds in
the same postseason.

LAS VEGAS Floyd May-
weather Jr. was getting ready to
make his ring walk about the
time Manny Pacquiao arrived at
Los Angeles International Air-
port on Philippine Airlines Flight
102. Hell be occupying a cell at
the Clark County Detention Cen-
ter by the time Pacquiao makes
his way to this gambling city for
his June 9 fight with Timothy
Bradley.
The two are seemingly des-
tinednever tobe inthe same spot
at the same time. Certainly not in
the ring, something Mayweather
made clear Saturday night after
takingonMiguel Cottoina bruis-
ing fight that, if not his best, was
certainly among his most excit-
ing.
The Pacquiao-Mayweather
fight is not going to happen,
Mayweather said. Its not my
fault.
Mayweather could be called
out for using some convoluted
logic about why the fight wont
happen. Suffice it to say he be-
lieves hes in the drivers seat for
any mega-fight, and is both suspi-
cious of Pacquiao and unwilling
to take equal money for the bout.
After making a minimum $32
million in an impressive perform-
ance Saturday night against Cot-
to, Mayweather couldbe excused
for dismissing what would be the
richest fight in boxing history.
But, with jail time coming up for
a domestic abuse charge, there
will be plenty of time for reflec-
tion about his future
I dont know where were go-
ing to go from here because we
basically have fought everybody
in this sport, Mayweather said.
I dont have to fight if I dont
want to.
Indeed, Mayweather hinted of
retirement following his tough
battle with Cotto, which ended
with Mayweather claiming a
piece of the154-poundtitle witha
unanimous decision. But theres
huge money still to be made, and
hes a fighter who burns through
cash with a Money Team entour-
age that seems to growwith each
fight.
Unlike most of his fights,
though, Mayweather looked like
he had been in a fight after beat-
ing Cotto. He hadwelts under his
both eyes and he spoke deliber-
ately, like a fighter who was ex-
hausted by the effort needed to
capture the 43rd win of his un-
blemished career.
He could have danced about
and beaten Cotto without taking
the most punishment of his ca-
reer, Mayweather insisted. But
he wanted to give fans a good
show, and make themhappy they
spent $69.95 on pay-per-view to
see him fight.
Having Justin Bieber and 50
Cent accompany him into the
ring was entertaining, sure. But
the action in the ring was even
better.
Things happened tonight and
we both had to fight. But the
main thing is that we got the vic-
tory, Mayweather said. The
fans were happy. Its about im-
pressing fans and giving them
what they want to see.
The fans did enjoy it, though it
was a strange strategyfor the nor-
mally defensively oriented May-
weather, who said a few days be-
fore the fight that he wasnt going
to get into any brawls in the ring
because he was worriedabout his
futurehealth. Bothfighters paida
price for this brawl, with Cotto
goingtoa local hospital for exam-
ination instead of attending the
post-fight press conference.
They traded punches for 12
rounds without taking a second
off, and the sellout crowd at the
MGM Grand arena stood and
cheered most of the way. May-
weather was the sharper and
cleaner puncher, but Cotto had
his moments, too, landing some
big shots to Mayweathers head
and body.

meet their professional counter-
parts. They will also give pre-
sentations to Rotary clubs and
other groups about their home
country. The Rotary Foundation

country provide meals, lodging
and group travel in their dis-
trict. Team members pay for

es.
