WILKES-BARRE A man was fatally shot
early Saturday morning on Poplar Street, Wilkes-
Barre, authorities have conrmed.
Renold Julien, 26, was pronounced dead at 3:38
a.m. at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center,
Plains Township, succumbing to multiple gunshot
wounds, said Luzerne County Coroner William
Lisman. The cause of death has been ruled homi-
cide, he said.
After the incident around 2:10 a.m., friends
drove Julien to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital,
Lisman said. The gunshot victim was then trans-
ferred to Geisinger Hospital.
Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Sala-
vantis conrmed that the incident happened near
the Locals 88 bar, formerly the Poplar Inn, and, by
all accounts, it seems the crime was committed
with intent. We do not believe this was random,
Salavantis said.
No one was in custody as of Saturday afternoon,
Salavantis said. She could not provide details on a
suspect because the investigation is ongoing, she
said.
Pennsylvania Liquor Control Boardrecords indi-
cate Robert Nicoletti Jr. holds a restaurants liquor
license for the Poplar Street establishment; how-
ever, Nicoletti could not be immediately reached
for comment.
Charlotte Raup, head of the Wilkes-Barre Crime
Watch Coalition, said police previously have re-
sponded to the site for various incidents. The
police are called there often. Fights. Music, said
Raup. Its not the rst time shots were red. Its
the rst time somebody was killed, though.
In November, two people were injured in a
shooting outside Locals 88, and in February 2012,
a Burgitts City Taxi driver reportedly was robbed
at gunpoint while waiting for a fare outside the
bar, according to published reports.
I dont knowwhat the answer is, but its getting
bad for people in the neighborhood, Raup said.

60/40 scandal
HARRISBURG Supposedly, it was an open
secret.
Of the allegations emerging from a sweep-
ing grand jury investigation into corruption at
the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Commission, one of the most
damning was witness testi-
mony that lucrative contracts
were guided by politics: 60 per-
cent were awarded to support-
ers of the governors political
party and 40 percent to those
of the other.
The perversion of the turn-
pike commissions process of
hiring environmental, design and engineering
consultants to reward political contributors
was a familiar subject in Harrisburgs circles of
Witnesses allege contracts awarded by
secret protocol; ofcials claim ignorance.
How many nurses should a
hospital maternity ward have?
How about the intensive care or
neonatal units? Should they be
the same numbers at rural and
inner city hospitals?
The correct answer now de-
pends upon each individual hos-
pitals best practices. But state
l e g i s l a t o r s
want to take
the guess work
out of stafng.
A pair of
De mo c r a t i c
state legisla-
tors have intro-
duced bills in
both the House
and Senate that
would mandate
a minimum
number of reg-
istered nurses
to patient ratio
at all hospitals
in the state.
The concept
embraced by
nursing unions but is not being
warmly received by hospitals
and related organizations.
The companion bills, intro-
duced in the House by Rep.
Phyllis Mundy, of Kingston, and
in the Senate by Sen. Daylin
Leach, of Wayne, call for a ratio
that would vary, depending on
the nature of the care. For ex-
ample, there would be one regis-
tered nurse for every two neona-
tal patients, and one registered
nurse for every four patients in
a pre-surgical unit, under their
legislation.
Mundy: patient safety
Both Mundy and Leach tout
patient safety as the driving
force behind their bills.
Studies show that patients in
hospitals with higher registered
nurse stafng levels are less
likely to get an infection during
their care, and as a result, health
care costs can be reduced by as
much as 30 percent, Mundy
said.
There is compelling sta-
tistical evidence that patient
safety is improved dramatical-
ly, and the costs to hospitals
are reduced as malpractice
claims fall and unnecessary,
uncompensated care is avoid-
ed, said Leach. Hospitals
should make this investment
in patient care that will pay
dividends in overall savings.
Kim Klinger, a registered
nurse at Geisinger Wyoming
Valley and the vice president
of the SEIU local t hat repre-
sents more than 400 nurses at
the Plains Township hospital,
said the union supports the
bill strongly.

As Northeast Pennsylvanians
celebrate the feast of St. Patrick
with parades, spirits, traditional
foods and dance, one might
wonder if it was the luck of the
Irish that brought the traditions
to Luzerne County.
That depends on how you
look at it, according to John
McKeown, one of the Friendly
Sons of St. Patrick and an area
expert on Irish history.

SOME REAL MARch MAdNESS
BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
h
ardy souls braved the 39-degree water of Harveys Lake Saturday afternoon at the
Polar Bear Plunge to benet the American Cancer Society. Maura Kresge, 14, of Plains
Township, left, and Lauren Austin, 13, of Bear Creek Village, were among the participants.
VATICAN CITY The focus
of Pope Francis papacy began to
emerge Saturday as he offered
some intimate insights into the
conclave that elected himpontiff,
describing how he was immedi-
ately inspired to name himself
after St. Francis of Assisi because
he wants to see a church that is
for the poor.
His comments provided fur-
ther evidence that this frst Latin
American papacy would be one
that looks beyond the connes
of the church itself to the most
disadvantaged, named for a 13th-
century friar who renounced a
wealthy, dissolute lifestyle to
embrace a life of poverty and
simplicity and go out in the coun-
tryside to preach a message of joy
and peace.
Let me tell you a story, Pope
Francis began in a break from his
prepared text during an audience
for a few thousand journalists
and Vatican communications of-
cials in the Vaticans auditorium.
Francis then described how
during the conclave he was com-
forted by his friend, Brazilian
Cardinal Claudio Hummes, as
the votes were going his way and
it seemed a bit dangerous that
he would reach the two-thirds
necessary to be elected.
When the threshold was
reached, applause erupted in the
frescoed Sistine Chapel.
He (Hummes) hugged me.
He kissed me. He said, Dont
forget about the poor! Francis
recalled.
And those words came to
me: The poor. The poor. Then
right away, thinking of the poor,
I thought of Francis of Assisi.
Then I thought of all the wars
as the votes were being counted,
until the end. Francis is also the
man of peace. That is how the
name came into my heart: Fran-
cis of Assisi.
The pope said some have won-
dered whether his name was a
reference to other Franciscan
fgures, including St. Frances de
Sales or even the co-founder of
the popes own Jesuit order, Fran-
cis Xavier. But he said the inspi-
ration was Francis of Assisi.
Sitting in the vast Vatican au-
ditorium, Francis continued: For
me, he is the man of poverty, the
man of peace, the man who loves
and protects creation. These
days we dont have a very good
relationship with creation, do
we? he said. He is the man who
gives us this spirit of peace, the
poor man.
Oh how I would like a church
which is poor and for the poor!
Francis said, sighing.
He then joked that some other
cardinals suggested other names:
Hadrian VI, after a great church
reformer a reference to the
need for the pope to clean up the
Vaticans messy bureaucracy.
In one of his frst acts as pope,
Francis phoned the Vatican am-
bassador in Buenos Aires and
told him to put out the word that
he didnt want ordinary Argen-
tines focking to Rome for his
installation Mass, urging them to
use the money instead for char-
ity.
Pope explains name, elevates poor
new pontiff took his name
after St. Francis of Assisi, who
renounced wealth.

Pa. gov. plan would freeze pension benets
HARRISBuRG Gov. Tom
Corbett and his legal staff are
hoping ne distinctions in Penn-
sylvania case law will allow $12
billion in cuts to future pension
benefts for more than 370,000
current state and school employ-
ees.
Corbett and state legislators
are grappling with Pennsylva-
nias unfunded pension liability
of $41 billion, and the governor
is taking an approach never be-
fore tested in state courts in
hopes it will help the benet
reductions pass constitutional
muster.
Weve designed our proposal
in a way we believe it is con-
stitutional, knowing that the
likelihood is that that issue will
ultimately be litigated in the
courts, state Budget Secretary
Charles Zogby said.
More than a month after Cor-
bett announced his plan, draw-
ing threats of lawsuits from
labor unions, the legislative re-
sponse has been cool and no bill
has been introduced.
The benet cuts are the main
source of savings in Corbetts
multi-pronged pension reform
package and are expected to save
an estimated $12 billion over 30
years. The package also would
require new hires to enroll in a
401(k)-style plan, instead of the
traditional plan and temporarily
limit annual increases in taxpay-
er contributions.
The governor proposes freez-
ing benets for current employ-
ees and replacing them with
reduced benets in 2015. When
workers retire, they would re-
ceive the combined value of
both sets of benets.

WILKES-BARRE
Long owing coral taffeta
and sleek black sequin
gowns were only some of
the promdresses available
for the taking during the
Prom Dress Sale Spectac-
ular in the Henry Student
Center on Wilkes Univer-
sitys campus Saturday.
The promdress sale, fea-
turing gently used gowns,
was open to the public
from9 a.m. to 2 p.m. They
were being sold for a mini-
mum donation of $20. In
addition, accessories such
as shoes, purses and jew-
elry were available for $5.
All proceeds raised ben-
eted senior environmen-
tal engineering student,
Katie Cirones Relay for
Life Team. Relay for Life
is a fundraiser for the
American Cancer Society
in which teams walk all
day and into the night to
raise money to ght can-
cer and raise awareness
about disease prevention.
Wilkes University will
hold its Relay to Life start-
ing at noon April 20 on
the greenway behind the
Stark Library; it is sched-
uled to end at 6 a.m. on
April 23 in the gym.
Cirone, of Middlesex,
N.J., said the idea for the
prom dress sale came
from a friend. Prom dress-
es are the type of thing
that hang in a closet and
are never used again, she
said. Many girls were hap-
py to give their dresses a
second chance to shine
and give someone else an
opportunity for a glam-
orous prom experience.
Many university students
brought their dresses
WESTPITTSTONVisitors walk-
ing through the West Pittston Library
on Saturday could bump into Marilyn
Monroe, Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks,
Marie Antoinette, Catherine the
Great, Cleopatra and Hillary Clinton.
Life-sized cutouts of those and 24
other famous women stood in the
library, each displaying a synopsis
of the individuals accomplishments
for viewers to read. They were there
as part of the librarys celebration of
Womens History Month, said library
director Anne Bramblett Barr.
The display also will be available
for viewing from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
Saturday. Participants can spend time
learning little-known facts about
very fascinating women Barr said.
In addition, they can see what the li-
brary has to offer as part of an open
house tour, she said.
We pride ourselves as an educa-
tional and enrichment organization,
said Barr. We want our visitors to see
the library in a different way.
Saturdays event represented the in-
stitutions continuing comeback from
the 2011 ood that stied last years
programs. After $200,000 worth of
renovations, the library is alive and
well, offering the newest educational
tools, she added.
Barr expects more than 500 visitors
to the library, including members of
the local community and students
fromthe Wyoming Area Montgomery
Elementary School. In addition to the
displays, the library offered childrens
games, information scavenger hunts
and other activities tied to womens
history.
Summer Belles, the librarys youth
services coordinator, conducted the
research on each of the selected wom-
en. Editing their accomplishments
down to a summary was difcult be-
cause they all had so many interest-
ing facts about their lives, she said.
She marveled at how some of them
made their marks almost accidental-
ly. Astronaut Sally Ride, for example,
joined the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration after answer-
ing a newspaper advertisement, and
Julia Childs eventually became in-
terested in cooking after nding she
was too tall for service in the army or
navy.
About 50 area students
spanned the distance from
design to realization when
they took part in the 2013
Northeast Pennsylvania
Regional Bridge Contest
Saturday at the Viewmont
Mall in Dickson City.
Students from 20 area
high schools took part in
the annual event.
The contest gave par-
ticipants opportunity to
design and present model
bridges for judging and
allowed them to develop
planning, execution and
problem-solving skills.
Participants got a bet-
ter understanding of what
it is to do the work of an
engineer, designing the
bridges to certain speci-
cations for a specic func-
tion.
The bridges were tested
with a stress machine to
determine efciency
the load it can carry rela-
tive to its weight.
Simply, the most ef-
cient bridges won.

DALLAS TWP.
Are these games legal?
In an effort to provide the most up-
to-date information to holders of small
games of chance licenses, state Rep.
Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake, will
host a small games of chance seminar
from 6-9 p.m. April 18, at the Lem-
mond Theater at Walsh Hall on the
campus of Misericordia University,
Dallas Township.
Because of recent changes made to
the Small Games of Chance Act, many
organizations have contacted Bobacks
ofces with concerns about new re-
quirements, and the seminar is a good
way to address questions that nonprof-
its still might have, Boback said.
A representative from the state po-
lice Bureau of Liquor Control Enforce-
ment will discuss the changes to the
law and how it will be enforced.
Those interested in attending
should RSVP by April 4 by contact-
ing one of Bobacks district ofces in
Tunkhannock, 836-4777, or Hunlock
Creek, 477-3752. For more legislative

UGI nds
new spot
for its gas
operation
By JON OCONNELL
joconnell@timesleader.com
Washington Township gives
conditional OK to compressor
rejected by West Wyoming.
When plans for a gas pipe-
line compressor station in
West Wyoming soured for
UGI Energy Services, project
managers sought a new sta-
tion site to supply propulsion
for their Auburn Pipeline.
Taking their plans farther
north up the line, company
representatives proposed a
compressor station in Wash-
ington Township.
The town-
ship supervisors
there granted
conditional ap-
proval for station
construction last
month at a site
near the Procter
& Gamble manu-
facturing complex.
Dan Huff, the supervisors
vice chairman, said UGI repre-
sentatives showed up readier
than most at the township
meeting.
Of all the companies weve
dealt with so far, they were
the most prepared, he said.
The supervisors conditions
are that the company nalizes
outstanding permit applica-
tions for the station, provides
a more thorough emergency
response plan outlining pro-
cedures in case of leaks or
blowouts, and keeps the noise
down once the station is up
and running.
We kind of have a reputa-
tion for being sticklers (about
enforcing conditions), Huff
said with a chuckle.
The pumping station will be
smaller than the one proposed
for West Wyoming, but will be
sufcient to move gas nearly
30 miles from the Tennessee
interstate pipeline in Susque-
hanna County to the Transco
interstate pipeline in Luzerne
County, according to Kevin
Kelleher, the companys pro-
ducer services manager.
In an email statement,
Kelleher said with this pipe-
line construction, the com-
pany hopes to relieve natural
gas costs for individuals while
keeping an eye on the environ-
ment.
We are hoping to lower
these costs further by reduc-
ing the cost to transport gas

CARLISLE A tour bus
carrying a colleges womens
lacrosse team to a game went
off the Pennsylvania Turnpike
on Saturday and crashed into
a tree, killing a pregnant coach
and the driver and sending
others to hospitals, authorities
said.
Lacrosse players from Seton
Hill University and three coach-
es were among the 23 people
aboard when the bus crashed at
about 9 a.m., turnpike spokes-
woman Renee Colborn said. Its
not clear what causedthe crash,
but state police were investigat-
ing, said Megan Silverstram of
the Cumberland County public
safety department.
Kristina Quigley of Greens-
burg, 30, was own to a hospi-
tal and died there from injuries
from the crash, Cumberland
County authorities said Sat-
urday that. They say Quigley
was about six months pregnant
and her unborn child did not
survive. The driver, 61-year-old
Anthony Guaetta of Johnstown,
died at the scene of the crash.
Two other victims were
own by helicopter to Penn
State Hershey Medical Center,
hospital spokeswoman Dani-
elle Ran said. She did not give
their conditions. Ofcials said
all other passengers were taken
to hospitals as a precaution.
The bus came to a stop up-
right on the side of the road
with part of its left side shorn
off, photos from the scene
showed, though its unclear
whether that was from the im-
pact or rescue operation.
The lacrosse team was head-
ed to play Saturday afternoon
at Millersville University, about
50 miles from the crash site in
central Pennsylvania, for its
fourth game of the year. The
Grifns were off to a promising
start at 3-1 in the young season.
Both Saturdays game and a
Sunday home game were can-
celed after the crash, and Seton
Hill, a Catholic school of about
2,500 students near Pittsburgh,
said a memorial Mass was
planned for tonight on campus.
Quigley, a native of Balti-
more, was married and had a
young son, Gavin, the school
said.
The bus operator, Mlaker
Charter & Tours, of Davids-
ville, Pa., is up to date on its
inspections, which include bus
and driver safety checks, said
Jennifer Kocher, a spokeswom-
an for the state Public Utility
Commission, which regulates
bus companies.

SAN FRANCISCO
Judge bars security letters
T
heyre called national security let-
ters and the FBI issues thousands
of them a year to banks, phone compa-
nies and other businesses demanding
customer information. Theyre sent
without judicial review and recipients
are barred from disclosing them.
On Friday, a federal judge in San
Francisco declared the letters unconsti-
tutional, saying the secretive demands
for customer data violate the First
Amendment.
She ordered the FBI to stop issuing
the letters, but put that order on hold
for 90 days so the U.S. Department of
Justice can pursue an appeal to the 9th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Government opponents riot
Police red tear gas to disperse thou-
sands of supporters and opponents of
President Mohammed Morsi during
clashes that erupted on Saturday as
he launched development projects in
southern Egyptian where residents
have long complained of being ne-
glected by the central government.
Morsi was in Sohag province to
unveil a housing project and new
education complex when thousands
of anti-government protesters tried to
storm the hall where he was meeting
with local ofcials. The rioting came
as Morsi was trying to reach out to
residents of Sohag, one of Egypts
poorest southern cities.
Under long-time ruler Hosni
Mubarak, who was ousted in a popular
uprising two years ago, the southern
area known as al-Saeed was underde-
veloped and impoverished. Business-
men close to Mubaraks family were
blamed for orchestrating economic
reform that liberalized the economy.

Oil could fuel legal ght
As oil-rich North Dakota moves to-
ward outlawing most abortions, its in
a better position than most states for
what could be a long and costly court
battle over its restrictions.
Lawmakers on Friday sent the
Republican governor two anti-abortion
bills, one banning the procedure as
early as six weeks into a pregnancy
and another prohibiting women from
having the procedure because a fetus
has a genetic defect, such as Down
syndrome. They would be the most
restrictive abortion laws in the United
States.
The state actually has a budget sur-
plus nearing $2 billion, thanks to new-
found oil wealth. Record oil production
has made North Dakota the nations
No. 2 oil producer behind Texas.

76.
Gardner died Friday at his Tacoma

zauer said Saturday. He was the states
19th governor.

Donated
organs
carried
rabies
Public and military health of-
cials say theyre trying to identify
people in at least ve states who
had close contact with an organ
donor who died of rabies or with
the organ recipients because they
might require treatment.
A 20-year-old Air Force recruit
from North Carolina who died of
rabies in Florida had symptoms of
the disease but wasnt tested be-
fore his organs were transplanted
to four patients, one of whomdied
of rabies nearly 18 months later,
federal health ofcials said Friday.
The three other organ recipi-
ents are getting rabies shots and
havent displayed any symptoms.
Doctors at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention declined
to speculate on their chances for
survival.
This case is so unique and atyp-
ical that we cannot make predic-
tions, said Richard Franka, acting
leader of the CDCs rabies team.
Dr. Matthew Kuehnert, direc-
tor of the agencys Ofce of Blood,
Organ, and Other Tissue Safety,
said investigators dont know why
doctors in Florida didnt test the
donor for rabies before offering his
kidneys, heart and liver to people
in Florida, Georgia, Illinois and
Maryland.
The man in Maryland who re-
ceived the transplant died in late
February. The Defense Depart-
ment said he was an Army vet-
eran who had transplant surgery
at Walter Reed National Military
Medical Center in early Septem-
ber 2011.
A rabies test after a death can
take four hours once the tissue
reaches a lab in Atlanta, New York
or California, Franka said. Thats
precious time: A donated kidney
remains viable for less than 24
hours; other organs last for less
than six.
The donor had seizures and
encephalitis a brain inamma-
tion that can be caused by rabies
but those symptoms also can
be caused by a variety of bacterial,
viral and other more common con-
ditions.
Federal rules require organ
banks to disclose any known or
suspected infectious conditions
that might be transmitted by the
donor organs.
The donor died in September
2011 at an undisclosed Florida
medical facility. Medical workers
believed at the time that he died
from encephalitis of unknown ori-
gin, Florida Department of Health
epidemiologist Dr. Carina Black-
more said.

Rand Paul favorite at conservative summit
OXON HILL, Md. The auditions
have begun.
Only two months into President
Barack Obamas second term, Repub-
lican leaders are lining up to diagnose
the GOPs ills while courting party
activists all with an eye on greater
political ambitions. They have danced
around questions about their White
House aspirations, but the diehard con-
servatives already are picking favorites
in what could be a crowded Republican
presidential primary in 2016.
Thousands of activists who packed
into suburban Washingtons national
conservative summit gave Kentucky
Sen. Rand Paul a narrow victory over
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in their un-
scientic presidential
preference poll. Paul
had 25 percent of the
vote and Rubio 23 per-
cent. Former Pennsyl-
vania Sen. Rick Santo-
rum was third with 8
percent.
The freshman sena-
tors topped a pool of
nearly two dozen governors and elected
ofcials who paraded through the same
ballroom stage over three days. There
were passionate calls for party unity, as
the partys old guard and a new genera-
tion of leaders clashed over the future
of the wayward Republican Party.
First-term Wisconsin Gov. Scott
Walker, who placed sixth in the straw
poll, on Saturday encouraged Republi-
cans to be aggressive but warned them
to focus on middle-class concerns: We
need to be relevant.
Later in the day, the partys 2008 vice
presidential nominee, former Alaska
Gov. Sarah Palin, mixed anti-Obama
rhetoric with calls for a more inclusive
GOP: We must leave no American be-
hind, she said after likening Washing-
ton leadership to reality television.
And former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich, a 2012 presidential contend-
er, charged that GOP leadership is as
mired in past and mired in stupidity as
it was in 1976.
But the ballroom stage was embla-
zoned with the words Americas Fu-
ture: The Next Generation of Conserva-
tives, making clear the partys interest
in showcasing a new wave of talent.
The gathering evoked the ending of one
period and the beginning of another.

Swiss tourist allegedly gang-raped in India
NEW DELHI A Swiss
woman who was on a cycling
trip in central India with her
husband has been gang-raped
by eight men, police said
Saturday. The attack comes
three months after the fatal
gang-rape of a woman aboard
a New Delhi bus outraged In-
dians.
Authorities detained and
questioned 13 men in con-
nection with the latest at-
tack, which occurred Friday
night as the couple camped
in a forest in Madhya Pradesh
state after bicycling from the
temple town of Orchha, local
police ofcer R.K. Gurjar said.
The men beat the couple
and gang-raped the woman,
he said. They also stole the
couples mobile phone, a lap-
top computer and $185.
A photo showed the wom-
an, 39, walking while being
escorted by police to the hos-
pital. Her face was concealed
with a hood, a common prac-
tice in conservative India,
where lawdoes not allowrape
victims to be identied pub-
licly to protect them from the
stigma attached to rape there.
Police detained 13 men and
questioned them, Gurjar said.
Six of the men were released
after questioning.
Last month, the Swiss gov-
ernment issued a travel notice
for India that included a warn-
ing about increasing num-
bers of rapes and other sexual
offenses in the South Asian
nation.
Swiss earlier issued travel
notice, warning of
increased sexual crimes.

Weve had 365 mornings, noons, and
nights to miss your smile, hearty laugh,
questions about what we are having for
dinner, and thoughtful, loving advice.
Weve heard you in a cardinals song, and
seen you in the rays of a beautiful, warm
sunset and we knew you were there. Weve
smelled pizza and cheeseburgers that
made us chuckle and think of you and we
knew you were there. Weve felt you in a
perfect nighttime breeze and in the hugs
of our loved ones, and we knew you were
there. You are always with us.
Deeply loved and sadly missed by Wife,

back from home when they
returned to campus follow-
ing spring break, she said.
We hoped for about 50
promdress, she said. The
event snowballed. We had
200 dresses.
Her team of 15 students
sent letters and iers to
all the high schools in Lu-
zerne County. The uni-
versitys public relations
department helped too,
by notifying the area news
media, she said.
All the hard work to pro-
mote apparently was worth
it. There were people wait-
ing outside of the student
center at 8:45 a.m., Cirone
said.
We raised $500 in the
rst half hour, she said. I
just cant believe the turn-
out.
One room of the Henry

Several girls browsed

ment at Wilkes University in
Wilkes-Barre, a sponsor of
the event, said that efciency
has become increasingly im-
portant in the eld. It used
to be that engineers were
concerned with simply build-
ing things well, said Taylor.
But we are now also now
concerned with the environ-
ment, minimizing waste, re-
cycling and minimizing long-
term costs.
I love see to other designs
as they are being tested,
said participant Everett Ap-
pleby who attends GAR High
School and the Wilkes-Barre
Area Career & Technical
Center.
It helps me understand
howmy own design might be
improved.
Appleby, a senior, was es-
pecially excited to partici-
pate in this weekends event
because he plans to attend
Penn State University next
school year and major in en-
gineering.
Dave Zaykoski, drafting
and design instructor at the
Wilkes-Barre Area Career
& Technical Center, said
participants worked many,
many hours and often took
their bridges home to perfect
them.
This is a great experi-
ence in critical thinking, in
applying date and analyzing
results, said Zaykoski, in
being committed to planning
and executing an idea.
David Johns, representing
Greenman-Pedersen Engi-
neering, an event sponsor,
said each participant was
able to present something
unique.
Each model bridge is dif-
ferent in structure and ap-
pearance, each has it own
type of creativity and archi-
tectural style, he said.
No two bridges in the com-
petition looked alike; types
and features included arch,
beam, laminated beam and
triangle design.
Donald Kieffer, director of
the contest, said he hopes it
encouraged participants to
consider careers in engineer-
ing, science, math and tech-
nology.
The two top winners of the
event will advance to the In-
ternational Bridge Building
Contest, held in Chicago in
April.

Katie DeAndrea, 16, looks at some of the prom gowns on display at the Wilkes student center

constantly taking care to min-

While preparing their emer-
gency response plan, UGI
planners invited the town-
ships rst responders to tour
their existing compressor sta-
tion near Lawton, Pa., Huff
said.
The station will be moni-
tored remotely around the
clock and, once it is com-
pleted, can be remotely shut
down in an emergency.
In addition, one or two engi-
neers will man the station ve
days per week, Huff said.
The Auburn Pipelines con-
struction is scheduled to be
completed late this summer.
But some of its rst stages are
to be completed soon.
Tree-clearing along the
pipelines route must be com-
pleted by April 1, Kelleher
said. The state Department

Huff said,
they met no
opposition
from the
public.
He said
he did not

Generally, there is a peace-

gas companies and township
residents, he said.
In this area, were used to

comfortable with it.
The women in the librarys
display were organized into
six categories based on their
contributions. Those catego-
ries: human and civil rights,
politicians and royalty, ex-
ploration and adventure,
sports and entertainment,
women of rsts, and famous
epitaphs, Belles said.
The cutouts were donated
by Wilkes-Barre business-
man Stephen Taren, who
sells them via a website, his-
toricalcutouts.com.
He also donated cutouts of
U.S. presidents in 2011. He
sells a signicant number of
cutouts of historical gures
because of public interest,
he said. He prefers creating
likenesses of historical g-
ures because they offer more
than modern pop culture g-
ures, he said.
Visitors to the library can
be inspired by the lives of
these women, Taren said.

You work hard to make your house a home. At Pennstar Bank, were
committed to helping you make the most of your homes equity. So, you can
accomplish everything that counts most to you. Now, get a new Home Equity
Line of Credit with a six-month introductory rate of 1.00% APR. Or, ask us
about a great xed rate on a new home equity loan.
When it comes to your home, you can count on us. Stop by or call us today.
*To qualify for the introductory rate, a minimum line of $20,000 must be approved for a new home equity line of credit and ad vanced at closing, and payments must be automatically deducted from
a checking account at NBT Bank, N.A. or its divisions, Pennstar Bank and Hampshire First Bank (hereafter referred to jointly asNBT Bank). Customers with an existing home equity line of credit from
NBT Bank must be approved for an additional $20,000 to qualify. Residence must be a 1-4 family owner-occupied dwelling with a maximum loan to value of 80%. Rates shown are as of March 11,
2013. The 1.00% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is an introductory rate for 6 months, and after that the rate can be as low as the oor rate of 3.25%. The APR after the introductory discount period is
variable and may change monthly based upon changes in the Prime Rate but will not fall below 3.25% or exceed 15.90%. The Prime Rate is the highest Prime Rate offered in the Wall Street Journal
based on the tenth day of the preceding month. Property insurance is required and ood insurance when necessary. Title insurance is required for all loans over $250,000 in a rst lien position
and may be required for loans with aggregation over $250,000 when the home equity is in a second lien position. If you cancel the line of credit within 4 years, you must reimburse us the
third-party fees paid in connection with opening the line. Closing costs paid to third parties generally total between $167 and $1,989 in MA, NH, PA and VT. See your tax advisor for details
on the tax deductibility of interest. Offer subject to credit and collateral approval. This is not a commitment to lend. Additional terms and conditions may apply depending on the type of
collateral and other loan terms offered or chosen.

UGI
WOMEN
When the Wash-
ington Township
supervisors
granted condi-
tional approval
for the uGI
Energy facility,
supervisors vice
chairman Dan
huff said they
met no opposi-
tion from the
public. he said,
generally, there
is a peaceful
co-existence
between the
gas companies
and township
residents.
PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. The
rst female Marine Corps gen-
eral in charge of its tough-as-
nails basic training site on Par-
ris Island says shes condent
women in the Corps will be able
to handle combat.
Brig. Gen. Loretta Reynolds
says the Pentagons lifting of the
combat exclusion against wom-
en earlier this year means com-
manders will be able to just use
the talent that they have. Just
use it where they need it. Thats
awesome.
Reynolds was the rst woman
to command a Marine base in a
combat zone when she was put
in charge of Camp Leatherneck
in Afghanistan in 2010. As head
of the 1st Marine Expeditionary
Forces headquarters group, she
oversaw the base in Helmand
province that grew to house
20,000 Marines.
She also commanded a com-
munications battalion in Iraq
from 2004 to 2005 in battle-
scarred Fallujah.
Now, the Marine Corps has
entrusted her with training all
its women and nearly half its
men. She said young Marines
arent as concerned about gen-
der as they are about a com-
manders ability to lead.
Anytime youre going to take
your Marines into harms way,
they are looking for leadership
that is calm, assertive, sure of
themselves, Reynolds said in
her rst extended interview
since the ban was lifted. And
quite honestly, I dont think that
some of these young Marines
care if its a male or a female.
They just want to be properly
led.
Reynolds said she doesnt
think the type of basic training
both male and female recruits
endure on the swampy, insect-
lled island outside Beaufort
will change much, given the
Pentagons lifting of the ban.
We already work them pretty
hard, she said. We think we
give them a solid foundation.
As one of only two basic train-
ing sites for the Marines, Parris
Island holds near-legendary sta-
tus in the branchs lore. After 12
weeks of arduous training, about
17,000 men and 3,000 women
graduate from the tough-love of
some 604 drill instructors who
determine whether the recruits
are worthy of pinning on the Ea-
gle, Globe and Anchor emblem
worn by Marines.
What were looking for here
is character, intellect and poten-
tial to carry forth our legacy,
Reynolds said.
In January, Defense Secre-
tary Leon Panetta lifted the so-
called combat exclusion that
kept women from serving in
units that engage the enemy,
such as the infantry, tank and
special forces units of the Army
and Marine Corps. Their lead-
ers, the service chiefs, have yet
to determine exactly what the
physical standards are for those
jobs, and some roles might still
exclude women.
Minimum physical require-
ments for many hard-core com-
bat jobs had never been estab-
lished, and the effort to come up
with them is still in under way,
Reynolds pointed out.
Theres a lot more work to
do to gure it out, the general
said.
The Corps has proposed
adapting its twice-yearly physi-
cal tness test to require that
women complete at least three
chin-ups, a standard that men
must currently meet. Data is be-
ing collected to see whether the
standard is appropriate.
In the past decade, men and
women have found themselves
ghting side-by-side when combat
has overtaken support units once
considered behind combat lines.
More than 150 women have been
killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
About 7 percent of Marines
are female compared to about
14 percent overall for the armed
forces.

power, said Pennsylvania State
Police Commissioner Frank
Noonan.
Still, just one elected ofcial
former Senate Democratic
oor leader Bob Mellow from
Lackawanna County is facing
charges, while some top law-
makers and commission mem-
bers, past and present, say they
knew nothing of such allegedly
pervasive corruption.
I think that this type of ac-
tivity has been well-known
and well-discussed throughout
political circles for a number
of years, Noonan told report-
ers as he and Attorney General
Kathleen Kane announced the
charges. But you have to
have evidence. The people who
were charged are the people we
have evidence against.
It was not enough to charge an
elected ofcial simply because
they knew about the 60/40 rule:
Evidence was necessary that
someone had worked to rig the
process, Kane said.
On Wednesday, Mellow, three
former top Pennsylvania Turn-
pike Commission ofcials and
two businessmen were charged
in what prosecutors say was a
long-running scheme in which
contract-hungry vendors gave
lavish gifts and political cam-
paign contributions to improve
their chances of landing a con-
tract.
Contracting decisions at the
Turnpike typically followed the
60/40 rule, according to the 85-
page grand jury presentment.
According to several witness-
es testifying before the grand
jury, whichever political party
(is) in power gets 60 percent of
the contracts or jobs, and the
minority party receives 40 per-
cent.
The turnpike commission
might be unavoidably political:
The governor nominates turn-
pike commissioners to four-year
terms and each must be con-
rmed by a two-thirds majority
of the state Senate, giving sena-
tors inuence there. Tradition-
ally, three of the ve turnpike
commissioners are from the
governors political party, and
one must be the state transpor-
tation secretary.
According to the grand jury,
an unnamed former chief op-
erating ofcer of the turnpike
commission said typically,
there was always a 60/40 rule
that was dictated by either the
Senate leadership or the gover-
nors ofce.
Allen Biehler, Rendells trans-
portation secretary for eight
years, said he had heard about
the 60/40 split, perhaps even
before he became transportation
secretary in 2003. But he said he
did not know if it was true.
As a commissioner, he voted
on contracts, relying on com-
mission staff to recommend a
rm. He would quiz the staff
about their conclusions, but he
did not have time to review all
the competing proposals for
each job, he said.
Still, the culture at the agency
worried him.
I always had an uncomfort-
able feeling about the place,
said Biehler, who said he was
not contacted by law enforce-
ment.
Rendell, a Democrat who
served from 2003 to 2011, as
well as House Speaker Sam
Smith, Senate President Pro
Tempore Joe Scarnati and Sen-
ate Majority Leader Dominic Pi-
leggi, all of whom were in posi-
tions of power during the period
scrutinized by the grand jury,
said through spokespeople that
they knew nothing of the 60/40
split.
Former Senate Majority Lead-
er David Brightbill did not want
to discuss it. One former com-
missioner, Timothy Carson, and

Deon, who joined it in 2002, did
not respond to requests for com-
ment Friday.
Former Senate President Pro
Tempore Robert Jubelirer, who
served until 2006, said rigging
contracts is completely for-
eign to anything he or his fel-
low Republicans did while run-
ning the Senate. If a formula to
guide hiring was developed, he
did not know about it, he said.
We recommended people
who were very competent, said
Jubelirer, who also said he was
not contacted by law enforce-
ment. Sometimes they got
hired, sometimes they didnt.

Astronauts
return to
Earth from
space station
MOSCOW A Soyuz
space capsule carrying an
American astronaut and two
Russian cosmonauts landed
Saturday morning on the
foggy steppes of Kazakhstan,
safely returning the three
men to Earth after a 144-day
mission to the International
Space Station.
NASAs Kevin Ford and Rus-
sians Oleg Novitsky and Yevg-
eny Tarelkin had been sched-
uled to return on Friday, but
the landing was postponed by
a day because of bad weather.
Live footage on NASA TV
showed all three men smil-
ing as they were helped out of
the capsule and into reclining
chairs to begin their acclimati-
zation to Earths gravity after
nearly ve months in space.
A NASA TV commentator
said only two of 12 search
and rescue helicopters were
allowed to land at the touch-
down site because of heavy
clouds and fog. So instead of
being placed in an inatable
medical tent for checks, the
astronauts were taken fairly
quickly to one of the helicop-
ters. The temperature at the
time was well below freezing.
The crew was then own
to Kostanai, the staging site
in Kazakhstan, where they
posed for more photographs.
Ford put on a traditional felt
Kazakh hat and draped a
matching coat over his ight
suit, while holding up a matry-
oshka nesting doll of himself
all souvenirs of the mission
that began and ended in the
Central Asian country.
The three men blasted off
on Oct. 23 from the Baikonur
cosmodrome, which Russia
leases from Kazakhstan.

the city became interested
in his heritage as a young man
and has been studying Irish his-
tory most of his life. He and his
wife have visited Ireland about
a dozen times, he said, and he
was involved in running an
Irish studies program at Kings
College for 30 years.
Like many European im-
migrants, residents from the
northern part of Ireland began
coming to the United States in
the early 1800s with hopes of
making their fortunes and leav-
ing behind English rule, McKe-
own said.
But it was famine associated
with the widespread failure
of the potato crop in the mid
1840s that led to the deaths of
about a million Irish and led
another million to emigrate,
seeking work and a better life
in Europe and America.
The Irish who came to this
area of Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania really came because of
the coal mines and the fact that
there were jobs, even though
the jobs were totally different
than the ones in their culture
(farming), McKeown said.
Most Irish who settled in this
area came through the port of
Philadelphia because Ellis Is-
land in New York wasnt open
until 1893, McKeown said.
First wave accepted
The rst substantial inux of
Irish immigrants came to this
area in the 1870s and 1880s,
he said, and they were warmly
accepted by employers, unlike
those who settled in big cities
such as New York and Boston,
where they were infamously
greeted by signs in shop win-
dows stating, Irish need not
apply.
Unfortunately, work in the
anthracite mines of Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania was hard
and dangerous, and unlike the
Welsh immigrants who were
skilled miners, the Irish were
given the less favorable labor
jobs.
As Eastern Europeans be-
gan arriving, the Irish began
to climb the social and profes-
sional ladders.
When other immigrants
started coming, the Irish
moved up a notch. They got
jobs as remen, policemen,
mail carriers, McKeown said,
noting entry into politics soon
followed.
And then it was Lithuanians,
Slovaks, Polish and Italians who
were the least favored. They did
not assimilate as easily because
they didnt speak English, as the
Irish did.
Still, all of the ethnic groups
had a shared experience in their
suppression by the coal barons,
and it was an Irish priest Father
John Curran who helped them
organize unions and eventually
ght for the rights of workers.
Curran became good friends
with President Theodore Roo-
sevelt, and the two worked to
help the miners negotiate with
the mine owners to gain better
working conditions and a little
better pay.
Curran was pastor at Holy
Saviour Church in the East End.
A famous photograph of Curran,
Roosevelt and Bishop Michael
Hoban outside the church is a
common inclusion in historical
books about coal mining in the
Northeast.
McKeown proudly pointed
out a historical marker outside
the church, which is across the
street from his house.
The reason Wilkes-Barre and
many other communities had
Irish and ethnic sections was
because immigrants from par-
ticular countries came together
in waves and settled near peo-
ple who spoke their language,
McKeown said.
Irish pride apparent
And now with St. Pat-
ricks parades in Scranton and
Jim Thorpe one weekend and
Wilkes-Barre the next, Irish beer
and food specials in taverns, and
Irish ags and green clothing
sported just about everywhere
its easy to see that pride in
Irish heritage and a celebration
of the culture is still alive and
strong in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania.
The grandson of three Irish
immigrants (his mothers moth-
er was German), McKeown said
that pride in Irish heritage is
most evident today in music and
dance, as step dancing is not an
easily acquired skill, yet there
are no less than four step danc-
ing groups in the area.

Norwegian elk hound, on a leash
along South Main Street. Dicker-
son came to watch his son drum
and march with the GAR High
School band.
Scranton got the great weath-
er, said Dickerson. We got the
short end of the stick.
The difference from last weeks
parade in Lackawanna County was
stark. Instead of sunshine, blue
sky and spring-like temperatures,
clouds, freezing temps and the pre-
cipitation that goes with it blitzed
the Wyoming Valley. Attendance
appeared to be down compared to
previous years .
Still, Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton wore a smile as he
watched from the reviewing stand
on Public Square during the 33rd
annual parade. People came out.
Downtowns busy. Its a very suc-
cessful parade, he said as a por-
table heater glowed fromthe oppo-
site end of the stand.
We cant control the weather,
he said. People came out with a
smile on their face.
The less-than-hardy spectators
ocked to bars and restaurants,
peered fromwindows and the stair-
well of a parking garage.
Wayne Price was not one of
them and not alone. Price, of
Wilkes-Barre, sat on a bench on
Public Square and rested his cane
next to him. Im amazed at how
many people turned out, he said.
Theres a few gaps but not much.
Nearby, Lou Sapolis, a Dur-
yea resident, stood near his cart
stocked with novelties and hats.
Most of his wares collected a thin
layer of snow.
Ive worked in the snow before
at St. Patricks Day parades, Sapo-
lis said.
The wet weather dampened his
business. If it was 70 degrees and
sunny, you wouldnt be talking to
me now, he told a reporter.
Bundled up and sitting on his
grandmothers lap , 4-year-old
Nicholas Daniel Pote of Wanamie
reveled in the festivities. He and
his sister Aubree, 6, were close to
the curb awaiting the goodies and
trinkets to come their way fromthe
oats and marchers.
They came with their mother,
Lauren, and grandma, Kathy Flem-
ing, of Nanticoke. We usually have
four generations here, Fleming
said. Her mother, Dot Smith of
Nanticoke, broke her ankle and
couldnt make it, Fleming said.
Flo Miller andher daughter Lisa,
of the Parsons section of Wilkes-
Barre, took shelter under the over-
hang of the building at 58-60 Public
Square. They awaited the arrival of
Miss Teen Pennsylvania Kaitlyn
Miller, a 17-year-old senior atWyo-
ming Valley West High School.
PARADE
WILKES-BARRE The ap-
pointment as one of two grand
marshals of the citys St. Patricks
Day Parade was only the begin-
ning for David Morgan.
The injured veteran much
to the surprise and delight of he
and his family was welcomed
by the city police department
Saturday as an honorary mem-
ber.
A police honor guard saluted
Morgan, a city native, as he
watched while seated in a wheel-
chair inside a van near the re-
viewing stand on Public Square.
Ofcer David Kurutz presented
him with the U.S. ag that had
own above the police station
earlier in the day. And during
a ceremony at the start of the
parade, Chief Gerry Dessoye
pinned a badge to Morgans chest
after tucking a department patch
into the folded ag.
We had no idea that the Wil-
kes-Barre Police Department was
going to do this, said Morgans
mother Peggy.
It means everything, she
said, speaking for her son, a GAR
High School graduate who had
been a corrections ofcer at the
State Correctional Institution at
Dallas.
Hes not forgotten, she said,
adding neither are the service-
men and women who served
their country.
Mayor Tom Leighton earlier
this week visited the Veterans
Administration Community
Living Center in Plains Town-
ship, where Morgan resides, and
named him a grand marshal. He
shared the distinction this year
with Joe Clark of Ashley.
Morgan, 38, suffered a traumat-
ic brain injury in a head-on crash
while serving as a Navy Reserve
military police ofcer in Kuwait
in November 2009. The driver of
the sport utility vehicle carrying
Morgan, 37-year-old Brian Patton
of Nanticoke, was killed.
After Dessoye read a proclama-
tion from the mayor, David Mor-
gan smiled.
I think hes just going,
Hooyah, said Peggy Morgan,
referring to the military slang
term for approval.

on stafng saying, theres no
rhyme or reason as to how
much staff or staff mix there
is. Its something staff feels ev-
eryday of every working hour,
Klinger said.
Another strong supporter of
the bills is the nursing union
that represents about 5,000
nurses statewide, including
several hundred at Wilkes-
Barre General Hospital.
Nurses and patients need
this protection, said Patricia
Eakin, an emergency room
nurse at Temple University
Hospital and president of The
Pennsylvania Association of
Staff Nurses and Allied Pro-
fessionals. If we dont have
adequate time to do our work
assessing patients for change
in condition, administering
medications properly, ensur-
ing that the patient is out of
bed and walking so they dont
develop pneumonia or life-
threatening blood clots pa-
tients can die.
The Pennsylvania Associa-
tion of Staff Nurses and Allied
Professionals has backed en-
actment of similar legislation
previously. An almost identi-
cal bill was introduced last ses-
sion by Mundy. It was referred
to the House Health Commit-
tee and never made it out.
We will keep ghting,
Klinger said. She noted that
for seven years nurses fought
for the state to approve a man-
datory overtime law. That hap-
pened and Klinger said that
nurses will keep ghting for
this bill to become law, too.
Hospital statement
Wilkes-Barre General Hospi-
tal issued a statement on the
proposal, pointing out present
best practices work:
Wilkes-Barre General Hos-
pital is committed to provid-
ing safe, quality care and a
safe and comfortable hospital
environment for our patients.
We staff our hospital based on
the number of patients in our
care and their medical needs
and greatly appreciate the
many employees who deliver
that care day in and day out.
Californias legislature ap-
proved a similar mandate to
address the states nursing
shortage and patient safety,
and Mundy said an evaluation
of data since the law took ef-
fect shows its working.
According to Board of Regis-
tered Nursing data, since Cali-
fornias ratio law was signed,
the number of registered nurs-
es in California has grown by
approximately 100,000. Many
of Californias largest hospital
systems have seen their turn-
over and vacancy rates fall
below 5 percent, which is far
below the national average,
Mundy noted.
While that may be what data
show, a Geisinger Health Sys-
tem spokesman said patient
outcomes are not affected.
In line with the position
of the Hospital Association
of Pennsylvania, at Geisinger,
we believe mandated nurse
stafng ratios have not dem-
onstrated improvement in pa-
tient outcomes, said Matt Van
Stone, a spokesman for the
health system that operates
facilities in Scranton, Plains
Township, South Wilkes-Barre
and elsewhere.
He said that all hospitals
are required to ensure safe
and adequate stafng under
their licensure regulations,
Joint Commission accredita-
tion standards and Medicare
Conditions of Participation.
Geisinger hospitals, Van Stone
said, comply with these re-
quirements.
Nurse stafng levels are in-
uenced by multiple factors,
all of which are taken into con-
sideration, reviewed each day
and for each shift to ensure ap-
propriate stafng, Van Stone
said. Among those factors
are: education of nurses, total
years of experience, number
of patients assigned to each
nurse, number of ancillary and
other licensed staff, patient
acuity and technology support
to the nursing staff.
Association weighs in
Roger Baumgarten, a
spokesman for the Hospital
Association of Pennsylvania,
said Pennsylvanias hospitals
are opposed to mandatory ra-
tios, and have been for many
years. There are too many
variables involved with deter-
mining stafng levels, and any
one-size-ts-all policy/ratio ig-
nores those variables..
While Baumgarten said the
association, and its member
hospitals, recognize the im-
portance of nurses in provid-
ing high quality care and know
that nurses make a difference
in preventing harm and saving
lives. But the results in Cali-
fornia have only shown that
California hospitals did expe-
rience increased labor costs
higher than in other states.
The House bill has been
sent to the Finance Commit-
tee. The Senate bill has not
moved yet.
NURSES
PITTSBURGH AT&T will
close one Pittsburgh call center
and curtail operations at another,
a spokesman said Saturday, and
about 200 western Pennsylva-
nia workers will be affected, the
union said.
Signicant declines in call vol-
umes at the landline centers as
customers move to wireless ser-
vice led to the cutbacks, AT&T
spokesman Marty Richter said.
The workers are members of
CWA Locals 13500 and 13550
in Pittsburgh and service calls
from AT&T business customers
and consumer sales. Local 13500
President Sandy Kmetyk late Fri-
day called it devastating news.
Ofcials said the decision came
as a surprise to business custom-
er care workers because the ofce
has been working overtime for
six months to keep up with the
current workload.

or David Brace, two short sentences explain the way he feels about his bride. I lost you once. Ill never
lose you again. The former Lois Kammerer, who exchanged vows with David on Saturday at the
Luzerne United Methodist Church, cherishes those words and admits they sum up her feelings as well.
Newlyweds David and Lois Brace admire their wedding cake, which is shaped like a top hat and complemented by an Oscar statuette
and lm reel.

So, why is TV
such a turnoff
these days?
By VERNE GAY
Newsday
You could call this the winter of
their discontent but they (ABC,
CBS, NBC and Fox) probably would
use other words, none printable here.
Bluntly speaking, this has been an aw-
ful winter for the broadcast networks.
Dont bother looking for ABCs
much-promoted Anthony Edwards
newcomer (Zero Hour) its gone.
Red Widow limped through Sun-
days premiere; CBS Golden Boy
arrived quietly; NBCs Do No Harm
was whacked after two outings; even
Foxs The Following which just
earned a full-season pickup has slid
after a strong start.
Whats going on? I spoke with a few
industry experts including senior
executives at the networks who re-
quested anonymity and these are
reasons we came up with for why none
of this winters newshows have caught
on with viewers.
Theory 1: The newnew paradigm:
Fancy talk for how people are watch-
ing TV differently, particularly young
people (who largely watch streaming
content) and boomers (huge DVR us-
ers.) An example of the new new para-
digm Zero TV homes, Nielsens
term for homes with no TV. There are
5 million of them
now, up from 1.27
million only two
years ago. These
homes usu-
ally occupied by
young singles
are getting their
TV via computer
or tablets. They
are the trendset-
ters, and if they
arent watching
new network
shows when they launch, then the
new shows are instantly in trouble.
Broadcast is old (in terms of viewers),
cable is young, online is younger, says
Brad Adgate, senior vice president of
Horizon Media, a New York advertis-
ing frm. That pretty much sums up
where this is heading.
Theory 2: Its the show, stupid. Or
put another way, most people dont
want to watch boring, derivative TV
anymore. HBO, Showtime, FX, AMC
now Netfix (House of Cards)
have spoiled viewers. You always start
with the shows, one veteran says.
Even here, we can fnd a million ex-
cuses, but at the end of the day if you
make something people want to see,
they will come, and I think this has
been a year where there has not been a
lot of compelling new shows on broad-
cast TV.
Theory 3: Ferocious competition
from dozens of viewing sources has
eviscerated the networks ability to
generate enough promotional impres-
sions industry lingo for tune-in
reminders. Simply put, most people
dont even know when a new show is
on.
Theory 4: No one knows anything
in Hollywood. Shows arrive that you
think youve seen before and guess
what? You have! Networks recycle
ideas all the time, often in the same
time periods. Theres a lack of histori-
cal perspective says an exec. Were
the ones in the meetings who look at
the executive and say, Weve seen this
show 15 times. And you know how
many times its failed? Fifteen times.
Theory 5: Trigger-happy networks
have no patience. Heres a truism that
is probably true networks have no
patience if a show starts off poorly
while cable lets a low-rated show ride
for months. There are lots of reasons
for this, but viewers may well end up
thinking, why bother to invest any
time with a series like Zero Hour if
the life expectancy can be measured in
weeks?
Theory 6: All of the above.
Its the show,
stupid. Or put
another way,
most people
dont want to
watch boring,
derivative TV
anymore.
Vows
After the ceremony, the couple celebrated
their joy with about 35 friends and relatives
during an intimate reception at Vanderlyns in
Kingston. The restaurant took on the ambi-
ence of Old Hollywood, complete with red
velvet ropes, a red carpet and a cake shaped
like a top hat, because Lois planned the festiv-
ities with an eye toward re-creating the glam-
our of Elizabeth Taylors wedding to Conrad
Nicky Hilton.
Shes my idol, Lois said, adding shes
often been told she bears a striking resem-
blance to the actress.
When the two celebrities got married in
1950, Taylor was 19 and Hilton was 21.
Lois and David were about that age when
they dated each other during the 1970s. They
drifted apart after about two years, and Lois
married someone else in 1979, then separated
in 1997.
As she recalls, I was not ready to date.
But in January 1998 she ran into David by
chance, or, as David calls it, fate.
How much more fate can you get than
the both of us being in the same doughnut
shop? he asked. I stopped for coffee, and she
happened to be there.
Actually, Lois recalls, they had an amusing
little misunderstanding at frst, with her con-
gratulating him because she had seen a birth
announcement that led her to believe he re-
cently had a daughter.
David thanked her, believing she somehow
knew he had added a dog to his household
and was congratulating him about that baby
girl.
It turned out the birth announcement re-
ferred to another David Brace. The man des-
tined to become Lois David told her, Im not
married, never was, nor do I have any kids. I
still live in the same house in Luzerne.
Lois still didnt feel ready to enter a new
relationship, yet she rattled off her phone
number, and David memorized it. Weeks lat-
er, they went out on their frst second-time-
around date, a trip to a local high school to
see a documentary about big-game hunting.
Both avid hunters, Lois and David have
since enjoyed many hours of hunting togeth-
er, for pheasants, chukar partridges and deer,
and cooking what they harvest.
But the next 15 years would not be all fun.
David loaned his strength to Lois when she
she learned she had uterine cancer in 1999.
Thank God it was contained and I didnt
The bridal couple shares a moment during
their wedding reception.
So the parades and the big run-
up are over. Youve marched your
marches and worn your green and
perhaps even performed an Irish
jig or two. Maybe youre already in
a more Easter sort of mindset. But,
lest ye forget, today is St. Patricks
Day.
And seeing as Irish pubs in the
greater Wilkes-Barre area have pro-
liferated in recent years, what better
way to celebrate the day than with an
all-Irish, all-the-time pub crawl?
Were pointing out 10 local pubs
(in alphabetical, not preferential or-
der) that are not just Irish on March
17 but serve Irish food and pour Irish
drinks drinks year round and are
owned at least most of them
by someone with Irish blood cours-
ing through the veins. Hence, you
can put these Old Sod-style hotspots
on your list for an Irish pub crawl any
time of year.

Delle Donne had 21 points and 13 re-
bounds, and No. 15 Delaware breezed
past Hofstra 75-54 Saturday to earn
a third straight berth in the Colonial
Athletic Association title game.
The Blue Hens (29-3) will bring a
24-game winning streak into a match-
up Sunday against either James Madi-
son or Drexel. The last time Delaware
lost a conference game was in the 2011
CAA championship, against JMU.
Deven Green scored 16 for fth-seed
Hofstra (14-17), making its rst semi-
nal appearance since 2007.
After struggling in the tournament
opener against UNC Wilmington on
Friday, Delaware took control at the
outset and never trailed.
Delle Donne made the opening
two baskets and Danielle Parker and
Akeema Richards each scored twice for
a 14-3 lead. Minutes later, Delle Donne
hit a jumper to spark an 8-0 run that
made it 25-10.
It was 38-27 at halftime and 52-31
with 15:28 left.
MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE
Central Michigan 86, Akron 68
CLEVELAND Crystal Bradford
scored 13 points with 10 rebounds and
Central Michigan showed balance and
depth to beat Akron for its rst Mid-
American Conference title and NCAA
berth since 1984.
The Chippewas (21-11) lost to
Eastern Michigan in the title game last
year on a basket with 1.5 seconds left.
Central Michigan used the heartbreak-
ing loss as motivation, and the Chip-
pewas played a demanding schedule to
prepare for March.
They upset top-seeded Toledo in the
seminals and pulled away from the
Zips (23-9) in the second half.
Jalisa Olive scored 14 and Niki
DiGuilio made four 3-pointers in the
nal 12 minutes for Central Michigan,
which had six players score in double
gures.

an unbeaten season in Mid-Eastern
Athletic Conference play with a 59-38
victory against Howard in the cham-
pionship game Saturday, the Lady
Pirates 19th straight victory.
Hampton (28-5), the top seed, be-
came the rst team to go through the
MEAC regular season unbeaten and
also win the conference tournament
since Coppin State in 2006. It also
became the second school to win the

GREENSBORO, N.C. Dexter
Strickland and Reggie Bullock scored
15 points apiece and North Carolina
held on to beat Maryland 79-76 on
Saturday in the Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence tournament seminals.
P.J. Hairston scored 13 points
despite a heavily wrapped and injured
left (non-shooting) hand for the
third-seeded Tar Heels (24-9), but his
missed free throw with 16 seconds
left gave Maryland a chance to force
overtime.
The Terps called time out with
10.9 seconds left, and Logan Aronhalt
took the inbounds pass and immedi-
ately launched an off-balance 30-foot
airball.
Bullock snatched the ball and
passed to Hairston, who was all alone
near midcourt, and the Tar Heels ran
out the clock to clinch their league-
record 32nd appearance in the title
game.
Next up: a meeting with No. 9
Miami, the tournaments top seed, on
Sunday with North Carolinas 18th
league tournament title on the line.
The Hurricanes regular-season sweep
included a humiliating 26-point win
last month at Miami.
Alex Len had 20 points to lead sev-
enth-seeded Maryland (22-12), which
knocked off No. 2 Duke less than 24
hours earlier in the quarternals and
nearly pulled off another upset.
The Terrapins trailed by 10 with
just over 7 minutes left before rally-
ing to make things tight down the
stretch.
But every time they got too close,
North Carolina had an answer.
Twice in the nal 3 minutes, fresh-
man guard Marcus Paige followed a
Maryland basket by hitting a clutch
shot of his own.
His jumper with 2:49 left came af-
ter Len cut the Tar Heels lead to 71-
70. And after Dez Wells hit a layup to
pull the Terps to 75-72 with 1:08 left,
Paige drove the baseline for a pretty
layup that put North Carolina back up
by ve with 36.5 seconds left.
He and Wells traded free throws in
a 3-second span, and Aronhalts stick-
back with 17.3 seconds left pulled
Maryland to 78-76. Hairston then hit
1 of 2 free throws 1.3 seconds later.
Big man James Michael McAdoo
also nished with 13 points for the
Tar Heels, who improved to 8-2 since
inserting Hairston in the starting
lineup and playing with four guards.
Their only losses in that span came
to a Duke team that had already been
knocked out of the tournament by
these Terrapins.
Nick Faust added 17 points with
ve 3-pointers for Maryland while
Wells the Xavier transfer who
emerged as a leading tournament
MVP candidate while averaging 25.5
points in wins over Wake Forest and
Duke nished with 15 on 6-of-15
shooting.
Miami 81,
North Carolina State 71
GREENSBORO, N.C. Durand
Scott scored a career-high 32 points
to help No. 9 Miami beat North
Carolina State in the Atlantic Coast
Conference tournament seminals,
earning its rst trip to the champion-
ship game.
Shane Larkin added 23 for the
top-seeded Hurricanes (26-6), who
led the entire way and by 19 points
late in the rst half. Miami shot 46
percent behind Scott, a senior guard
who went 12-for-18 from the eld and
5-for-8 from 3-point range.
Scott also had a couple of big shots
that shut down comeback bids from
the fth-seeded Wolfpack (24-10),
who got as close as six after halftime
but couldnt dig out of that big hole.
Miami also controlled the boards to
score 18 second-chance points to go
with 15 points off turnovers.
Now the Hurricanes can turn their
attention to adding a tournament title
to go with their rst regular-season
crown in todays nal.
BIG 12
Kansas 70, Kansas State 54
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kansas
wasnt about to share this title with
Kansas State.
Jeff Withey had 17 points and nine
rebounds, Perry Ellis and Naadir
Tharpe added 12 points each, and the
seventh-ranked Jayhawks pounded
the No. 11 Wildcats 70-54 on Satur-
day night to win their ninth Big 12
The top-seeded Jayhawks (29-5),
who shared the regular-season title
with their in-state rival, took a 24-16
lead at halftime and then slowly
stretched it in the second half.
The Wildcats (27-7) struggled to
match Withey and Ellis in the paint,
losing for the third time this season
to the Jayhawks and for the 47th time
in their last 50 meetings.
Rodney McGruder scored 18 points
despite a poor rst half, and Angel
Rodriguez had 10 for Kansas State,
which still has not won a conference
tournament in more than 30 years.
BIG EAST
Louisville 78, Syracuse 61
NEW YORK -- Peyton Siva had 11
points and eight assists to lead No. 4
Louisville to a 78-61 victory over No.
19 Syracuse on Saturday night, giving
the Cardinals their second straight
Big East tournament title.
The Cardinals got their third title
by overcoming a 16-point decit in
the second half -- almost double the
previous record in a championship
game -- and they kept pouring it on
once they got the lead, going ahead
by as many as 18 points.
Second-seeded Louisville (29-
5) -- along with Georgetown and
Marquette the tri-champions of the
regular season -- won its 10th straight
game with its defense, forcing Syra-
cuse into 20 turnovers and keeping
the Orange off balance during the
24-3 run that turned the 16-point de-
cit into a 56-48 lead with 8:51 to play.
Montrezl Harrell led Louisville
with 20 points.
BIG TEN
Ohio State 61, Michigan State 58
CHICAGO Aaron Craft came
on strong in the second half to nish
with 20 points and lead No. 10 Ohio
State past No. 8 Michigan State in the
seminals of the Big Ten tournament.
Craft keyed a seven-point spurt
midway through the second half
that stretched the lead to eight at
55-47, and the Buckeyes (25-7) came
away with the win after the Spartans
(25-8) pulled within one. The victory
avenged a loss in last years champi-
onship game
It was 57-56 after Derrick Nix con-
verted a three-point play for Michigan
State with 1:54 remaining, but Craft
hit a free throw. Thomas grabbed
a huge rebound off a missed 3 by
Shannon Scott to keep the possession
going and scored in the paint after a
timeout to make it a four-point game,
sending the Buckeyes back to the
conference nal.
Theyll go for their third champion-
ship in four years when they meet No.
22 Wisconsin, a 68-56 winner over
top-seeded and third-ranked Indiana
in the other seminal.
Craft scored all but two of his
points in the second half. He also
had nine assists and four steals in the
game.
Thomas scored 16 even though
he hit just 6 of 19 shots 2 of 11
3-pointers.
Nix led Michigan State with 17
points and nine rebounds. Keith
Appling scored 16 points, but the
Spartans came up short in this one.
In a game that was neck-and-neck
for about the rst 29 minutes, Craft
gave Ohio State some breathing room
when he scored on a layup and a pair
of jumpers to cap a seven-point spurt
and make it 55-47 with 7:22 remain-
ing.
Michigan State hung in, and things
got real interesting when Nix convert-
ed that three-point play with 1:54 left.
The 6-foot-9, 270-pound Nix was a
handful right from the start. He domi-
nated down low with 10 points in the
rst half as Michigan State grabbed a
29-28 lead.
Appling hit two 3-pointers and
scored eight in the half.
Thomas, the Big Tens leading
scorer, had 11 points in the rst 20
minutes but was just 4 of 13. There
werent many fouls called in the rst
half, either, with Ohio State attempt-
ing just two free throws and Michigan
State not even getting to the line in
the half.
SEC Florida 61, Alabama 51
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Kenny
Boynton scored 11 straight points
during a 15-0 second-half run as No.
13 Florida rallied from a 10-point,
second-half decit to beat Alabama in
a Southeastern Conference tourna-
ment seminal.
The top-seeded Gators (26-6)
advanced to Sundays championship
game against either Mississippi or
Vanderbilt. Alabama (21-12), the
tournaments No. 4 seed, will spend
Sunday waiting to learn its fate from
the NCAA tournament selection com-
mittee.
Held scoreless for the rst 25 min-
utes of the game, Boynton nished
with a game-high 16 points. Patric
Young had 13 points and nine re-
bounds for the Gators. Mike Rosario
added 10 points.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Marshall

Mississippi beat Vanderbilt in the
Southeastern Conference tourna-
ment seminals, putting the Rebels

came here needing wins to sharpen
their postseason resume. Now they
will play No. 13 Florida, a 61-51 win-
ner over Alabama, in Sundays cham-
pionship game where the winner
advances to the NCAA tournament.
Reginald Buckner also had 15
points, and Murphy Holloway added
12 for Ole Miss. The Rebels now have
won six of seven to reach the cham-
pionship game for the rst time since
2001. Another win would give coach
Andy Kennedy his rst NCAA berth
and the Rebels rst since 2002.
No. 10 seeded Vanderbilt (16-17)
lost for only the second time in eight
games. Kedren Johnson had a team-

rebounds a day after going for 25
and nine in the quarternals against

The Billikens (26-6) held Butler
without a eld goal for almost seven

over UMass.
The Rams will face top-seeded
Saint Louis on Sunday in a matchup
of the leagues top two teams during
the regular season. The Billikens won
76-62 at home in their one meeting
Feb. 19.
VCU (26-7) forced 24 turnovers
to hold off a pesky Minutemen team
that upset Temple in Fridays quarter-
nals.
Rob Brandenbergs 3-pointer as the
shot clock expired nally gave the
Rams some breathing room, putting
them up 68-61 with a minute-and-a-
half left.
Juvonte Reddic added 18 points
and 12 rebounds.
Chaz Williams ended his A-10
tournament run back home in Brook-
lyn with 62 points in three games
for sixth-seeded UMass (21-11). He
scored 18 on 7-of-12 shooting Satur-
day.
CONFERENCE USA

TULSA, Okla. Chris Crawford
scored 23 points, including the go-
ahead 3-pointer in double overtime,
and No. 20 Memphis beat Southern
Miss to win its seventh Conference
USA tournament title in the past
eight years.
Crawford, the leagues Sixth Man
of the Year, connected on a 3-pointer
from the left wing to put the top-
seeded Tigers (30-4) up 78-76 with
2:44 remaining. He also had a jumper
and a pair of free throws in a 9-0 run
by Memphis soon after that nally
put the game away.
Daveon Boardingham scored 19
points and Jonathan Mills had 15
points and 17 rebounds for second-

need chemo or radiation, she
said.
During the past 18 months,
shes been there for him as they
had to put his mother in a nurs-
ing home and grieve her death.
Theyve also been busy re-
storing his family homestead
in Luzerne.
Sanding, plastering and var-
nishing together really helped
the couple bond, David said
with a chuckle.
For Lois, the thought of re-
marriage was on the back
burner, but after Davids moth-
ers death in 2011, he urged
her to make concrete plans. I
could have done it yesterday,
he told her. But you pick the
date.
I thought and thought, Lois
said, and came up with the an-
niversary of our rst date, the
second time around.
So, on March 9 David, who
is a truck driver, and Lois, who
works at SCI Dallas, ofcially
tied the knot.
Lois daughter, Maria An-
derscavage, was maid of hon-
or, and Davids cousin Corey
Welsh was best man. Junior
bridesmaid was the grand-
daughter of the bride, 7-year-
old Anjel, and groomsmen was
the brides son-in-law, Bruce
Anderscavage.
As a surprise to David, Lois
invited his cousin, Nancy Ho-
vis from Emlenton, whom he
hadnt seen in years, to the wed-
ding, and he was thrilled to see
her and her husband, Tom, in
the front pew at church. That
was a highlight for David, Lois
said, adding that a highlight
for her was the presence of her
boss, Joseph Scarantino, who
was sufciently recovered from
an injury to come and share the
celebration.
During the reception, the
music of Johnny Mathis, Frank
Sinatra, Jerry Vale, Tony Ben-
nett and Dean Martin lled the
air. At the brides request, the
DJ explained to the group why
the couple agree with the lyrics
of a Sinatra song that love is
better the second time around.

I Do and I Dont: A History of Mar-
riage in the Movies, by Jeanine
Basinger; Knopf (384 pages, $30).
The movies have always had
marriage on their minds but
not so much in their hearts.
The world of lm has depict-
ed the world of marriage from
just about every angle, but, even
after more than 100 years, it still
has trouble keeping the subject
of marriage in focus.
Courtship? Absolutely. Love?
Well, duh. Companionship? Of
course. But marriage the day-
in, day-out partnership between
two people well, thats just
not easy movie material.
The dilemma, Jeanine Bas-
inger relates in her breezily
written, aggressively researched
book I Do and I Dont: A His-
tory of Marriage in the Movies,
is that marriage has no story
arc it just goes on and on.
A good movie was usually
a story in a hurry . Marriage
took years to develop and ma-
ture. Novels could be written
about marriages, and plays
could crystallize their tensions
into signicant scenes of dia-
logue; but movies what were
movies to do in ninety min-
utes?
In I Do and I Dont, Bas-
inger, the chair of lmstudies at
Wesleyan University and a pro-
lic writer of incisive books on
Hollywood history, sometimes
goes on and on, too, as she tries
to make a case for the idea of
what she calls the marriage
movie. But, as she keeps re-
minding herself and us, movies
have been far more interested in
getting to point of marriage
or, increasingly in the postwar
world, getting to what makes
marriage fall apart.
In Hollywoods golden era,
those hurdles to wedded bliss
were rooted in a reality that au-
diences understood. Basinger
even offers a checklist full of
them. (When you marry a
murderer, she writes, your
marriage is in trouble. Good
to know.) But for decades, the
end point was nearly always the
same: Husband and wife, wiser
after facing seemingly uncon-
querable obstacles together,
realize the grass is greener on
their side of the fence after all.
Its amazing how many dif-
ferent types of movies that per-
spective encompasses from
silent-era expressionist classics
such as Sunrise (1927) to
postwar melodramas like The
Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
and modern domestic dramas
like Whos Afraid of Virginia
Woolf? (1966). Basinger does a
terric job connecting the dots
and connecting the decades,
showing that the more the
world has changed, the more
movies attitudes about mar-
riage stayed the same.
Until the rise of television,
that is. Basinger notes that TV
took over the subject of mar-
riage contented marriage,
anyway almost completely
by the 1960s. Movies focused
on big domestic dramas, while
TV nibbled at the little everyday
things that make up a relation-
ship. In the movies, marriage
was a roller-coaster ride; on
television, it was a merry-go-
round.
So, where did that leave the
marriage movie? For a long
time, in a rut, shifting attention
to the seemingly endless string
of movies about big weddings
(the Father of the Bride re-
make, 27 Dresses, Wedding
Crashers, My Best Friends
Wedding, Bridesmaids,
Jumping the Broom, etc.), all
ending at the point where mar-
riage begins and leaving the
question of how the bride and
groom are going to survive it.
When marriage is the focus
these days, the movies either
go nuclear think The War
of the Roses (1989) or Mr.
and Mrs. Smith (2005) or
go into the kitchen. Basinger
smartly notes the rise in high-
end kitchens as the central fo-
cus in movies about marriage;
remember the long, longing
shots of the kitchens in Some-
things Gotta Give (2003) and
Its Complicated (2009)?
Although she sometimes gets
distracted going on tangents
about domesticity in foreign
lms or the home world cre-
ated in the TV version of Fri-
day Night Lights Basinger
manages to map out the terrain
of the world of marriage that
movies cover with the skill of
an experienced cartographer
who isnt afraid to stop and
enjoy the view once in a while.
Sometimes her sharp focus on
seemingly obscure movies is
diverting, but it also makes up
a good tip sheet for movie junk-
ies interested in the way movies
see the home front.
In the end, Basinger says, the
movies are in the same boat as
the rest of us. After more than
a century of exploring the topic,
they cant gure out how mar-
riage works either. For the mov-
ies, she notes, real marriage
remains a locked-room mystery,
and the only people who hold
the key to open it are the two
people inside it.
Say theres a ick on how marriage really is; Would you watch?

AIPU, Argentina Ten min-
utes in the orchard and al-
ready my hands felt raw. How
do they do this all day without
gloves, I wondered, shufing
my feet for a better foothold in Argentinas
sandy clay.
It was Thursday, the day wed expected to
be tasting wine at the Zuccardi familys n-
ca (ranch) and winery, in Maipu, Mendoza
Province. Instead, we were clawing through
a tangle of branches, trying to pick enough
olives to feed Zuccardis state-of-the-art ol-
ive oil press.
It looked so easy when Torey Novak, Zuc-
cardis tour guide, gave a demonstration.
You hang a cone-shaped canvas sack around
your neck and pick a tree loaded with ripe
fruit. Reaching up into a branch, you grab it
with both hands and yank down hard, strip-
ping the olives off and into the sack. When
your neck cries uncle, you empty the sack
into the 40-pound crate handily stacked
nearby. Then you ll the second crate, and
the third, all day every day until the harvest
ends or your hands scream uncle.
But why in blazes were we fooling with ol-
ives when wed left Buenos Aires three days
earlier on a mission: to smell, savor, taste
and compare Malbec, Argentinas signature
red wine, at the source? And why was La
Familia Zuccardi, a family-owned, three-
generation-old winery and leading Malbec
producer, growing olives?
As it happens, a number of long-estab-
lished wineries here in the Cuyo area, scrub-
by desert land on the sunny east slope of
the Andes Mountains, grow multiple crops.
The soil, irrigated for centuries before Euro-
peans explored the region, is ideal for grow-
ing both grapes and olives; more than 6,000
olive growers and 1,200 wineries are scat-
tered through the two adjacent provinces of
Mendoza and San Juan.
The regions newer wineries stick mostly
to grapes, concentrating their efforts on
building sales. But for visitors to the region,
the complete farm-to-bodega tour adds an-
other dimension altogether. When youve
mucked around in the mans orchards and
harvested his olives, you feel invested.
After picking the fruit, clumping through
the mud and riding back to the processing
plant with the crates stacked on the golf
cart, we watched our olives macerated into
mush. Tasting the newly pressed oil, we
proudly pasted labels on our take-home bot-
tles. Then we knocked the dirt off our shoes
and headed for the bodega itself.
Here, in the Casa Del Visitante, se-
pia-toned photos serve a slice of late
19th century history, capturing tired-
looking Italian immigrants toting lug-
gage, working the elds, picking grapes
and vegetables and building railroads.
For wine acionados, Mendoza is a des-
tination in its own right. One way to get
there is by ying through Miami to Santia-
go, Chile, and east over the Andes (a short
ight or drive) into Argentina. But for us,
the winery visits were an add-on, a last min-
ute addition to a family reunion in Buenos
Aires.
What wed forgotten is that Argentina is
nearly as large as the United States (four
times the size of Texas); Mendoza, 646
miles west of Buenos Aires, is hardly a
weekend getaway. And with limited vaca-
tion time, ying was the only option. Wed
rent a car at the airport, we assumed, and
explore the wine country on a relaxed
schedule, just as weve done in Californias
Napa and Sonoma, in Oregon, in Washing-
ton state, even in France.
But that isnt the way they do it in Men-
doza. Because the wineries are scattered far
apart and road signs are poor, drop-in guests
are non-existent. Instead, you call or email
and make a reservation for a specic time.
Anyone can make a reservation for a visit
and tasting. But there are advantages to
signing up for a one- to ve-day tour with
a wine tour company, someone who knows
the industry, the wineries and Argentine
culture. A typical tour generally visits three
wineries each day and includes daily lunch
(with wine), hotels and transportation by
van.
We started in San Juan Province, going
rst to Callia Winery and then to Grafgna,
where Chief Wine Maker Gerardo Danitz,
eager to answer even the dumbest question,
elded a tasting that could have doubled
as Wine Wisdom 101. His patient explana-
tions were an ideal send-off for what would
be three days of tasting, spitting, tasting,
sneaking a swallow here and there for
the strength to push on and running out
of adjectives to describe the innite range of
fruity, nutty avors.
Heading south to Mendoza, we stopped
rst at Vistalba Bodega, wine czar Carlos
Pulentas show place, where most visits in-
clude both tasting and lunch at his much-ac-
claimed ve-star restaurant, La Bourgogne.
Then it was on to Tupungato Winelands to
see recently planted vineyards and the new
golf course; to Salentein and a culture mu-
seum; and nally to Zuccardi. Which is how
we found ourselves in the dirt, discussing
olive cultivation.
Until then I hadnt given much thought
to immigrant history and the parallels be-
tween Argentina and the United States.
But in most of the towns we saw, you could
walk down the street and except for
the signs in Spanish think you were at
home. Like Argentinas immigrants, Mal-
bec grapes are also an import, brought
from France. But it took Mendozas sandy
clay to create those tongue-tingling per-
fect fruity, nutty, oaky, you-name-it avors.

Five questions loomfor Lions this spring
Bill OBrien stayed. Ted Roof
did not. Signing day came and
went without any lingering
drama.
By Penn States recent stan-
dards, it was a quiet winter in
Happy Valley.
As the Nittany Lions open
spring practice on Monday
leading up to the Blue-White
Game on April 20 they nd
themselves in the eye of the
storm.
Behind them are the worst
days of the Jerry Sandusky
scandal. Still ahead are the full
effects of scholarship reduc-
tions imposed by the NCAA.
For now, though, the focus is
on recovering from a season un-
like any other in college football
history. Here are ve questions
facing the Lions as they get
back out on the eld.
1. Who will replace Matt
McGloin?
Ah, yes. For the fourth
straight year, Penn State opens
the spring without a clear-cut
starter at quarterback
McGloin helped matters in
2012 by establishing himself as
the starter by the end of spring
ball, allowing him to get a head-
start on mastering OBriens of-
fense.
The Lions likely wont have
that luxury this season. Steven
Bench and junior college trans-
fer Tyler Ferguson are the top
contenders at the moment as
rising sophomores.
OBrien reiterated this week
that he does not plan on picking
a starter in April, as he did last
year. For one thing, none of the
candidates have the experience
of McGloin. For another, prized
recruit Christian Hackenberg
doesnt arrive on campus until
the summer.

just got his drivers license, and
Mike Bruesewitzs shaggy hair

The Badgers may not look

Evans scored 16 points in a
terric all-around performance

seminals of the Big Ten tour-
nament Saturday.
Were playing our best bas-
ketball at the end of the season,
and thats what you want to
do, Bruesewitz said.
The Badgers allowed only
seven points after the top-
seeded Hoosiers pulled within
one with 9:45 left. They earned
their 12th consecutive win
against Indiana, tying a record
for any school against the pow-
erhouse program, and will play
Ohio State or Michigan State in
Sundays nal.
There are just things in
this game, no matter how you
try to explain them, they defy
explanation, Ryan said, shrug-
ging away Wisconsins long
run against Indiana. But we
have players who are willing to
work, to listen, to buy in.
Brust added 12 points for
Wisconsin (23-10), which has
won three straight and six of
eight. Sam Dekker scored nine
of his 11 points in the second
half, including seven in a row
during one impressive burst.
Christian Watford scored 14
points for Indiana (27-6), and
Cody Zeller had 13 points and
11 rebounds. Victor Oladipo
scored 10, but was 4 for 12
from the eld.
The Hoosiers, who won the
regular-season conference title,
now have to wait until Sunday
to see if they did enough to
earn a coveted No. 1 seed for

They got one of those throw-

caused tempers to are. Now, a

ing their breath.
Everybody is on egg shells.
Drivers are on egg shells. I think
the fans are on egg shells. The

that everyone is feeling a lot of

LEWISBURG - The individual

torium scoreboard kept insist-
ing Collin Vest wasnt going to
be part of any medal ceremony
Saturday.
The Spartans senior diver
simply decided otherwise.
Defying all logic - and at times
the laws of physics - Vest twice
beat long odds and captured a
seventh place medal with his
signature dive on his nal at-
tempt of the PIAA Swimming
and Diving championships at
Bucknell University.
I had bad dives, Vest said,
but after its all said and done,
Im happy with where I nished
up, especially after the start I
had.
To be honest, the only time
I ever looked at the scoreboard
was after the nal dive.
Its probably best Vest wasnt
watching the standings.

Penguins
overcome
sluggish
beginning
PORTLAND, Maine The
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins were down early but de-
nitely not out.
Despite giving up two early
goals the Penguins rallied in
the third for a 3-2 win over the
Portland Pirates Saturday night
at the Cumber-
land County
Civic Center.
The Pen-
guins fell be-
hind 2-0 before
the ice had a
chance to set
but managed
to recover and
slowly chip
away at the
decit.
We felt as
though we
were playing
well but we
kind of got
stung there by
the two goals quick, said Pen-
guins head coach John Hynes.
We just had to stick with our
game and try to continue to
get better. I thought our mental
toughness tonight was the thing
that really helped us stick with it
and play the right way.
Trevor Smith capped the
comeback victory with what
turned out to be the game-win-
ner midway through the third
period. Joseph Morrows initial
offering was blocked on the way
to the goal and puck dropped to
Smith who wasted little time de-
positing his 18th of the season.
Joey Mormina got the Pen-
guins back on even terms in the
opening moments of the third
period. The Penguins defense-
man jumped into the offensive
zone to get his own rebound and
hammered a shot by Portland
goalie Chad Johnson to tie the
game at 2-2.
The Pirates jumped into the
lead less than four minutes into
the game by scoring twice in 30
seconds.
Andy Miele received a pass in
full stride at the Pens blue line
and distanced himself from the
defense before beating Jeff Zat-
koff with a backhand high to the
glove side.
After giving up two early
goals, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
rallied to defeat Portland.

PENGUINS SUNDAY
My Hometown
Philip Samuelsson
This week were going to change the name
of this feature to My Hometowns to accom-
modate Philip Samuelssons childhood. When
I asked him to talk about his hometown, he
couldnt pick just one.
Samuelsson grew up in two different worlds -
the desert and the lake.
Some might say its the best of both worlds.
He spent the majority of the year living in the
Phoenix area where his father, Ulf, was a coach
with the NHL Coyotes. In the summer, once
the season was over, the Samuelssons would
leave the hot, dry Arizona desert for the lush
forests and clear lakes of Leksand, Sweden - the
hometown of his mother.
So, as you can see Samuelsson grew up in
two different worlds - two different continents.
And each one had its perks. One place afforded
Samuelsson to meet Wayne Gretzky, and the
other allowed him the chance to spend time
with his family and jet ski the day away on an
alpine lake.
But Samuelsson also pointed out plenty of
other perks with each place. One deals with
food, and its a delicacy that former Penguin
Janne Pesonen talked about when he was here
a few years ago.
What was is like growing up in Phoenix?
For me it was awesome. To meet Wayne
Gretzky and other great hockey players over the
years there. Theyve got a nice arena and the
team itself has come a log way since the talk of
relocation.
Any other benets?
Its a really up and coming place. Its in
the desert so its always warm nice in winter.
Theres a lot of money there. Malls always
popping up everywhere and lot of good looking
girls there. That helps. The Grand Canyon is
nearby and the red rocks in Sedona, so theres a
lot of good scenery. Its a really nice town.
How about Leksand?
Its a smaller town, right by a lake. They
have a team in the second league over there.
Mom grew up there and dad played there. We
have a lot of family and friends there. Pretty
special place to go back to in the summers. We
go back every summer to Leksand.
And the benets to growing up in Lek-
sand?
It can be nice and it can also be cold and
raining. We spend a lot of time on the lake with
jet skis and boats. I like to play golf and sh on
the lake. Not too much exciting but its a nice
place to just relax.
When JannePesonen, who is from Finland,
played here he raved about a reindeer dish
served with berries back home. Are there
any unique dishes in Leksand like that?
They do this dish, its like pickled herring.
It smells terrible but my grandparents love it.
There are some unique dishes over there. The
berries he was talking about are lingonber-
ries, and its big over there. Up north you get
more traditional Swedish stuff. Theres a lot of
reindeer stews. Its pretty good.
How did growing up on two continents
benet you?
Playing pro hockey, you never know when
youll be traded. If you know what its like to
move its not a big deal. For me its cool to see
new towns and meet new people.
Can you pick one place over the other?
I cant choose. I would like to have both
of them in my life. Its two totally different
experiences growing up in Sweden and then the
United States. Its a meshing of cultures.
Anything about Wilkes-Barre remind you
of Sweden or Arizona?
Theres obviously good people that you
meet anywhere, including this area. But the
landscape is as far off as you can get from both.
Here its pretty with the valley, the mountains
and the river. Sweden its all dense forests and
lakes. Phoenix its all construction and desert.
Three different worlds.

hen Bobby Farnham
was given a 10-min-
ute misconduct dur-
ing overtime against
the Portland Pirates
on March 9, he accomplished some-
thing that no Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguin had achieved since 2003: he
topped the 200 penalty minute mark.
Heading into Fridays game against
Worcester, the Penguins rookie ranks
third in the AHL with 210 penalty
minutes in 50 games. The last Pen-
guin to top the 200 mark was Dennis
Bonvie, with 203 in the 2007-08
season.
The day after the Portland game,
Farnham set another milestone when
he dropped the gloves with Man-
chesters Chris Huxley. The ght was
Farnhams 18th of the season, break-
ing the Penguins franchise rookie
record of 17, set by Daniel Carcillo in
2005-2006.
For a player who never got the
chance to ght while spending the
previous four years playing col-
lege hockey, Farnham has quickly
embraced the sticuffs as something
that comes with the territory.
And even though he never set out
to top the 200 penalty minute mark
and rank among the league lead-
ers, its a milestone that Farnham is
proud to accept.
If Im doing my job the right way,
penalty minutes seem to nd me, I
guess, Farnham said. To nish in
the top ve in the league, it would be
an accomplishment I take pride in.
Not because I took stupid or soft
penalties, but because I played hard
and they simply added up by the end
of the year.
And as a result, the majority of
Farnhams penalty minutes are what
head coach John Hynes calls hard
minutes.
So far, Farnham has been whistled
for 50 penalties - minors, majors and
misconducts. Of those, 18 were for
ghting, 10 for roughing, three for
goaltender interference along with
seven misconducts for a total of 38.
They are the type of penalties that
usually involve a few punches and
scrums.
His stats arent padded, Hynes
said. We recognize, as do other
teams, that this is who he is. This is
how he plays - in your face and under
your skin. Bobbys done a nice job
of it.
At 5-10, 180 pounds, Farnham is
far from a heavyweight enforcer. Pos-
sessing good speed, a fearlessness
on the ice and a willingness to yap,
Farnham has thrived in the role of
agitator. Its a job where playing on
the edge is a requirement and respect
from opponents doesnt come easy.
The fact that Farnham is not only
willing to agitate, but answer the bell
as well, makes the difference between
a player who is respected for his role
and one who is simply despised.
Fighting goes a long ways to be-
ing able to stand up for your team-
mates and yourself, while obtaining
that respect as well, Farnham said.
There are times when Farnhams
gloves dont come off, and that usu-
ally leads to a stat that, if it were
kept, hed likely rank among the
league leaders: penalties drawn.
That facet of the game is one that
evolved for Farnham since he arrived
with the Penguins via a call-up from
Wheeling in early November. At
the beginning of the year, Farnham
didnt hesitate to drop the gloves at
the slightest urging of an opponent.
Now, hes a bit more diplomatic
about things. Farnham weighs the
pros and cons before the gloves come
off. That approach has led to numer-
ous instances when a frustrated
opponent skated to the box and Farn-
ham - albeit a bit roughed up, headed
to the bench as his team went on the
power play.
Sometimes it seems as if Farnham
has mastered the art of drawing
penalties, such as when the Penguins
faced rival Binghamton on Feb. 16.
(Binghamton winger) Darren
Kramer wanted to ght me all game,
and I knew it, Farnham said. Behind
the net I took a little whack at their
goalie, he came ying in and I didnt
do anything. I let him punch me.
Kramer went to the box for rough-
ing, and the Penguins scored on the
resulting power play.
When youre not in the box and
the other team is, thats the deni-
tion of agitating, Farnham said.
With 13 games remaining in the
season, Farnham stands a good
chance at not only nishing in the
top ve in penalty minutes, but
becoming the rst Penguin in seven
years to top the 250 minute mark.
And if the milestones are achieved,
Farnham wont get there with hook-
ing and holding minors, but the
hard minutes that dene his role as
agitator.
I try to take the hard minutes. I
took a hooking penalty recently - my
rst of the year, and I was shocked,
Farnham said. I know I have a
couple misconducts in there as well,
and sometimes maybe you do go
a bit far. But because I play on the
edge and play physical, I feel like the
hard minutes show Im doing it the
right way.
Bobby Farnham isnt affraid
to drop the gloves to protect a
teammate.

Delaware
beats Hofstra
in CAA semis
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. Elena
Delle Donne had 21 points and 13 re-
bounds, and No. 15 Delaware breezed
past Hofstra 75-54 Saturday to earn
a third straight berth in the Colonial
Athletic Association title game.
The Blue Hens (29-3) will bring a
24-game winning streak into a match-
up Sunday against either James Madi-
son or Drexel. The last time Delaware
lost a conference game was in the 2011
CAA championship, against JMU.
Deven Green scored 16 for fth-seed
Hofstra (14-17), making its rst semi-
nal appearance since 2007.
After struggling in the tournament
opener against UNC Wilmington on
Friday, Delaware took control at the
outset and never trailed.
Delle Donne made the opening
two baskets and Danielle Parker and
Akeema Richards each scored twice for
a 14-3 lead. Minutes later, Delle Donne
hit a jumper to spark an 8-0 run that
made it 25-10.
It was 38-27 at halftime and 52-31
with 15:28 left.
MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE
Central Michigan 86, Akron 68
CLEVELAND Crystal Bradford
scored 13 points with 10 rebounds and
Central Michigan showed balance and
depth to beat Akron for its rst Mid-
American Conference title and NCAA
berth since 1984.
The Chippewas (21-11) lost to
Eastern Michigan in the title game last
year on a basket with 1.5 seconds left.
Central Michigan used the heartbreak-
ing loss as motivation, and the Chip-
pewas played a demanding schedule to
prepare for March.
They upset top-seeded Toledo in the
seminals and pulled away from the
Zips (23-9) in the second half.
Jalisa Olive scored 14 and Niki
DiGuilio made four 3-pointers in the
nal 12 minutes for Central Michigan,
which had six players score in double
gures.
Hanna Luburgh scored 19 to lead
the Zips. MAC Player of the Year Ra-
chel Tecca had 11.
MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC
Hampton 59, Howard 38
NORFOLK, Va. Olivia Allen
scored 16 points and Hampton nished
an unbeaten season in Mid-Eastern
Athletic Conference play with a 59-38
victory against Howard in the cham-
pionship game Saturday, the Lady
Pirates 19th straight victory.
Hampton (28-5), the top seed, be-
came the rst team to go through the
MEAC regular season unbeaten and
also win the conference tournament
since Coppin State in 2006. It also
became the second school to win the
conference tournament four consecu-
tive years; Howard did it from 1987-90.
SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE
Oral Roberts 72,
Sam Houston State 66
KATY, Texas Kevi Luper scored
26 points and Oral Roberts secured its
rst NCAA tournament berth in ve
years with a win over Sam Houston
State in the Southland Conference
womens championship game.

assists for the Golden Eagles (18-12),
who went 28 for 33 from the free-
throw line and took advantage of 20
turnovers by the Bearkats. Oral Rob-
erts and rst-year coach Misti Cussen
nished their rst season in the South-
land with the schools sixth conference
M e N S R O U N D U P
GREENSBORO, N.C. Dexter
Strickland and Reggie Bullock scored
15 points apiece and North Carolina
held on to beat Maryland 79-76 on
Saturday in the Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence tournament seminals.
P.J. Hairston scored 13 points
despite a heavily wrapped and injured
left (non-shooting) hand for the
third-seeded Tar Heels (24-9), but his
missed free throw with 16 seconds
left gave Maryland a chance to force
overtime.
The Terps called time out with
10.9 seconds left, and Logan Aronhalt
took the inbounds pass and immedi-
ately launched an off-balance 30-foot
airball.
Bullock snatched the ball and
passed to Hairston, who was all alone
near midcourt, and the Tar Heels ran
out the clock to clinch their league-
record 32nd appearance in the title
game.
Next up: a meeting with No. 9
Miami, the tournaments top seed, on
Sunday with North Carolinas 18th
league tournament title on the line.
The Hurricanes regular-season sweep
included a humiliating 26-point win
last month at Miami.
Alex Len had 20 points to lead sev-
enth-seeded Maryland (22-12), which
knocked off No. 2 Duke less than 24
hours earlier in the quarternals and
nearly pulled off another upset.
The Terrapins trailed by 10 with
just over 7 minutes left before rally-
ing to make things tight down the
stretch.
But every time they got too close,
North Carolina had an answer.
Twice in the nal 3 minutes, fresh-
man guard Marcus Paige followed a
Maryland basket by hitting a clutch
shot of his own.
His jumper with 2:49 left came af-
ter Len cut the Tar Heels lead to 71-
70. And after Dez Wells hit a layup to
pull the Terps to 75-72 with 1:08 left,
Paige drove the baseline for a pretty
layup that put North Carolina back up
by ve with 36.5 seconds left.
He and Wells traded free throws in
a 3-second span, and Aronhalts stick-
back with 17.3 seconds left pulled
Maryland to 78-76. Hairston then hit
1 of 2 free throws 1.3 seconds later.
Big man James Michael McAdoo
also nished with 13 points for the
Tar Heels, who improved to 8-2 since
inserting Hairston in the starting
lineup and playing with four guards.
Their only losses in that span came
to a Duke team that had already been
knocked out of the tournament by
these Terrapins.
Nick Faust added 17 points with
ve 3-pointers for Maryland while
Wells the Xavier transfer who
emerged as a leading tournament
MVP candidate while averaging 25.5
points in wins over Wake Forest and
Duke nished with 15 on 6-of-15
shooting.
Miami 81,
North Carolina State 71
GREENSBORO, N.C. Durand
Scott scored a career-high 32 points
to help No. 9 Miami beat North
Carolina State in the Atlantic Coast
Conference tournament seminals,
earning its rst trip to the champion-
ship game.
Shane Larkin added 23 for the
top-seeded Hurricanes (26-6), who
led the entire way and by 19 points
late in the rst half. Miami shot 46
percent behind Scott, a senior guard
who went 12-for-18 from the eld and
5-for-8 from 3-point range.
Scott also had a couple of big shots
that shut down comeback bids from
the fth-seeded Wolfpack (24-10),
who got as close as six after halftime
but couldnt dig out of that big hole.
Miami also controlled the boards to
score 18 second-chance points to go
with 15 points off turnovers.
Now the Hurricanes can turn their
attention to adding a tournament title
to go with their rst regular-season
crown in todays nal.
BIG 12
Kansas 70, Kansas State 54
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kansas
wasnt about to share this title with
Kansas State.
Jeff Withey had 17 points and nine
rebounds, Perry Ellis and Naadir
Tharpe added 12 points each, and the
seventh-ranked Jayhawks pounded
the No. 11 Wildcats 70-54 on Satur-
day night to win their ninth Big 12
The top-seeded Jayhawks (29-5),
who shared the regular-season title
with their in-state rival, took a 24-16
lead at halftime and then slowly
stretched it in the second half.
The Wildcats (27-7) struggled to
match Withey and Ellis in the paint,
losing for the third time this season
to the Jayhawks and for the 47th time
in their last 50 meetings.
Rodney McGruder scored 18 points
despite a poor rst half, and Angel
Rodriguez had 10 for Kansas State,
which still has not won a conference
tournament in more than 30 years.
BIG EAST
Louisville 78, Syracuse 61
NEW YORK -- Peyton Siva had 11
points and eight assists to lead No. 4
Louisville to a 78-61 victory over No.
19 Syracuse on Saturday night, giving
the Cardinals their second straight
Big East tournament title.
The Cardinals got their third title
by overcoming a 16-point decit in
the second half -- almost double the
previous record in a championship
game -- and they kept pouring it on
once they got the lead, going ahead
by as many as 18 points.
Second-seeded Louisville (29-
5) -- along with Georgetown and
Marquette the tri-champions of the
regular season -- won its 10th straight
game with its defense, forcing Syra-
cuse into 20 turnovers and keeping
the Orange off balance during the
24-3 run that turned the 16-point de-
cit into a 56-48 lead with 8:51 to play.
Montrezl Harrell led Louisville
with 20 points.
BIG TEN
Ohio State 61, Michigan State 58
CHICAGO Aaron Craft came
on strong in the second half to nish
with 20 points and lead No. 10 Ohio
State past No. 8 Michigan State in the
seminals of the Big Ten tournament.
Craft keyed a seven-point spurt
midway through the second half
that stretched the lead to eight at
55-47, and the Buckeyes (25-7) came
away with the win after the Spartans
(25-8) pulled within one. The victory
avenged a loss in last years champi-
onship game
It was 57-56 after Derrick Nix con-
verted a three-point play for Michigan
State with 1:54 remaining, but Craft
hit a free throw. Thomas grabbed
a huge rebound off a missed 3 by
Shannon Scott to keep the possession
going and scored in the paint after a
timeout to make it a four-point game,
sending the Buckeyes back to the
conference nal.
Theyll go for their third champion-
ship in four years when they meet No.
22 Wisconsin, a 68-56 winner over
top-seeded and third-ranked Indiana
in the other seminal.
Craft scored all but two of his
points in the second half. He also
had nine assists and four steals in the
game.
Thomas scored 16 even though
he hit just 6 of 19 shots 2 of 11
3-pointers.
Nix led Michigan State with 17
points and nine rebounds. Keith
Appling scored 16 points, but the
Spartans came up short in this one.
In a game that was neck-and-neck
for about the rst 29 minutes, Craft
gave Ohio State some breathing room
when he scored on a layup and a pair
of jumpers to cap a seven-point spurt
and make it 55-47 with 7:22 remain-
ing.
Michigan State hung in, and things
got real interesting when Nix convert-
ed that three-point play with 1:54 left.
The 6-foot-9, 270-pound Nix was a
handful right from the start. He domi-
nated down low with 10 points in the
rst half as Michigan State grabbed a
29-28 lead.
Appling hit two 3-pointers and
scored eight in the half.
Thomas, the Big Tens leading
scorer, had 11 points in the rst 20
minutes but was just 4 of 13. There
werent many fouls called in the rst
half, either, with Ohio State attempt-
ing just two free throws and Michigan
State not even getting to the line in
the half.
SEC Florida 61, Alabama 51
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Kenny
Boynton scored 11 straight points
during a 15-0 second-half run as No.
13 Florida rallied from a 10-point,
second-half decit to beat Alabama in
a Southeastern Conference tourna-
ment seminal.
The top-seeded Gators (26-6)
advanced to Sundays championship
game against either Mississippi or
Vanderbilt. Alabama (21-12), the
tournaments No. 4 seed, will spend
Sunday waiting to learn its fate from
the NCAA tournament selection com-
mittee.
Held scoreless for the rst 25 min-
utes of the game, Boynton nished
with a game-high 16 points. Patric
Young had 13 points and nine re-
bounds for the Gators. Mike Rosario
added 10 points.
Mississippi 64, Vanderbilt 52
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Marshall
Henderson scored 23 points as
Mississippi beat Vanderbilt in the
Southeastern Conference tourna-
ment seminals, putting the Rebels
just one more win away from making
sure their NCAA tournament berth is
automatic.
The third-seeded Rebels (25-8)
came here needing wins to sharpen
their postseason resume. Now they
will play No. 13 Florida, a 61-51 win-
ner over Alabama, in Sundays cham-
pionship game where the winner
advances to the NCAA tournament.
Reginald Buckner also had 15
points, and Murphy Holloway added
12 for Ole Miss. The Rebels now have
won six of seven to reach the cham-
pionship game for the rst time since
2001. Another win would give coach
Andy Kennedy his rst NCAA berth
and the Rebels rst since 2002.
No. 10 seeded Vanderbilt (16-17)
lost for only the second time in eight
games. Kedren Johnson had a team-
high 12 points.

NEW YORK Dwayne Evans
nearly set a career high in points for
the second straight game, and No.
16 Saint Louis defense locked down
Butler in the second half for a win to
reach the Billikens rst Atlantic 10
title game.
Evans had 24 points and 11
rebounds a day after going for 25
and nine in the quarternals against
Charlotte.
Top-seeded Saint Louis beat the
Bulldogs for the third time this sea-
son. Butler may be the bigger name,
but the Billikens have been the class
of the A-10 in 2013.
The Billikens (26-6) held Butler
without a eld goal for almost seven
minutes midway through the second
half to pull away. Meanwhile, Evans
went to work inside, showing off his
post moves at 6-foot-5 or earning free
throws to put the Bulldogs (26-8) in
foul trouble.
VCU 71, UMass 62
NEW YORK Troy Daniels made
six 3-pointers to score 20 points, and
No. 25 VCU advanced to the Atlantic
10 tournament title game in its rst
season in the conference with awin
over UMass.
The Rams will face top-seeded
Saint Louis on Sunday in a matchup
of the leagues top two teams during
the regular season. The Billikens won
76-62 at home in their one meeting
Feb. 19.
VCU (26-7) forced 24 turnovers
to hold off a pesky Minutemen team
that upset Temple in Fridays quarter-
nals.
Rob Brandenbergs 3-pointer as the
shot clock expired nally gave the
Rams some breathing room, putting
them up 68-61 with a minute-and-a-
half left.
Juvonte Reddic added 18 points
and 12 rebounds.
Chaz Williams ended his A-10
tournament run back home in Brook-
lyn with 62 points in three games
for sixth-seeded UMass (21-11). He
scored 18 on 7-of-12 shooting Satur-
day.
CONFERENCE USA
Memphis 91, Southern Miss 79
TULSA, Okla. Chris Crawford
scored 23 points, including the go-
ahead 3-pointer in double overtime,
and No. 20 Memphis beat Southern
Miss to win its seventh Conference
USA tournament title in the past
eight years.
Crawford, the leagues Sixth Man
of the Year, connected on a 3-pointer
from the left wing to put the top-
seeded Tigers (30-4) up 78-76 with
2:44 remaining. He also had a jumper
and a pair of free throws in a 9-0 run
by Memphis soon after that nally
put the game away.
Daveon Boardingham scored 19
points and Jonathan Mills had 15
points and 17 rebounds for second-
seeded Southern Miss (25-9), which
nearly clinched an automatic bid
to the NCAA tournament. Instead,
the Golden Eagles must hope to get
their second straight at-large bid on
Sunday.

Still on Jets, Revis earns $1M bonus
NEW YORK Darrelle
Revis is still with the New York
Jets. And, hes got $1 million
more to show for it.
The star cornerback, the
subject of trade rumors, earned
a roster bonus as a result of a
clause in his contract with New
York. According to the clause,
the bonus kicked in on Satur-
day since Revis remains on the
Jets roster not traded or cut
at the end of the business
day.
There has been intense
speculation in the past several
weeks that the Jets will try to
trade their best player, who is
recovering from a torn knee
ligament. Some thought that
move could have come by
Saturday so the Jets could have
avoided the clause, but that
deadline was not considered
to be a factor in the teams
thinking.
Revis will receive the bonus
later in the year and it counts
on New Yorks salary cap
whether or not he remains
with the team. He also has a
$1 million workout bonus that
would kick in in late June and
another $1 million reporting
bonus that would go into effect
in July at the start of training
camp.
The trade talk could pick
up at the NFL meetings in
Phoenix, starting Monday.
While neither side has publicly
said they are interested in a
trade, there has been increased
speculation that thats how the
situation will unfold.
Revis is entering the nal
year of his contract, but wants
to be among the leagues high-
est-paid defensive players. The
Jets are balancing the desire
to keep one of the best players
the franchise has ever had and
being nancially prudent.
New York Giants sign
former PSU star Connor
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Former Dallas Cowboys
linebacker Dan Connor has
signed with the New York Gi-
ants as a free agent.
The Giants announced the
signing of the former Penn
State product Saturday without
disclosing details.
Connor can play both inside
and outside, so his signing
casts some doubt on whether
New York will bring back
middle linebacker Chase Black-
burn, who is a free agent.
Connor started ve games
at middle linebacker for Dallas
last season, making 56 tackles.
He also started three games at
weakside linebacker. He played
his rst four seasons with the
Carolina Panthers.
Being able to stay in the
same division is great, said
Connor, released by the
Cowboys on Monday. Talk-
ing to the Giants coaches, the
(4-3) system seems to t me.
I wanted to get back into a 4-3
look. Its a great opportunity.
When my agent called me and
said they were interested I
was so thrilled. This is a class
organization with a lot of tradi-
tion. Theyre a successful team
with a winning tradition and
it was something I wanted to
be a part of. Im really looking
forward to it.
Connor has played in 56
career games with 27 starts. He
has 222 tackles, a sack, a forced
fumble and a fumble recovery.
Connor set a Penn State re-
cord with 419 career tackles in
45 games (37 starts). He also
had 14 sacks and four intercep-
tions.
49ers sign safety Dahl
SAN FRANCISCO The
San Francisco 49ers have
signed safety Craig Dahl to a
three-year contract, nding a
replacement in the secondary
after Dashon Goldson received
a ve-year deal from Tampa
Bay.
The 27-year-old Dahl spent
the past four seasons with the
St. Louis Rams and had 78
tackles and an interception in
2012.
San Franciscos front ofce
hosted a handful of defensive
backs for meetings this week,
including veteran free agent
Charles Woodson and Louis
Delmas, who wound up in
Detroit.
Goldson spent the past two
seasons on one-year contracts
for the 49ers and sought a long-
term deal. He signed a $41.25
million, ve-year contract
with Tampa Bay even after
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said
re-signing Goldson was a top
priority.
San Francisco lost 34-31 in
the Super Bowl to Baltimore.

Kyle Busch (54) leads Brad Keselowski (22) during the Nationwide race Saturday in Bristol,
Tenn.
Larson gets controversial Nationwide win
BRISTOL, Tenn. Kyle
Larsons rst chance to get
a big win in NASCAR ended
with him claiming a controver-
sial win.
With a shot at grabbing his
rst Nationwide Series win
Saturday, he wasnt going to
make that same mistake again.
Especially not against Kyle
Busch.
Larson stalked Busch over
the closing laps around Bristol
Motor Speedway waiting to
make a move. It came as they
closed in on the nish line, and
Larson made a last-gasp push
on the high side that fell just
short as Busch held on for his
second win of the season.
But in chasing the win the
right way, the 20-year-old Lar-
son cleaned up some of the
criticismthat had followed him
from Daytona last month after
spinning C.E. Falk III on the
nal lap of the Battle at the
Beach late model race.
You certainly want to try to
win races the right way, Busch
said. He played it smart today.
That was good on his end. I
think a lot of people have been
looking at him to try to see if
hes going to be to a wrecker
or a checker. Today he didnt
get the checkers, but thats
how you get them. You drive
into the corner, or drive into
the back of me, Im going to be
here for a while and if he keeps
coming up through the ranks,
hes not going to have fun deal-
ing with me every week.
But right now? Im going to
race him as hard as he raced
me, but just as clean as he
raced me because he didnt put
a fender on me all day.
Larson had his win over Falk
in the back of his head dur-
ing the closing laps at Bristol
as he looked for a place to try
to grab the win. Although he
has received high praise from
Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and
Kasey Kahne as NASCARs
next big star, his move in the
Battle of the Beach caused
many top Sprint Cup drivers to
openly criticize Larson.
I was pretty aggressive at
the Battle of the Beach and
I didnt want to have anything
like that happen again and
have more people look at me,
Larson said. I dont race that
way and didnt want to move
(Busch). I wanted to outrace
him. Id gain a little more re-
spect that way, and it made for
a better nish, I think.
Indeed it did, as both driv-
ers closed in on lapped cars
as they neared the nish line.
Busch chose the low line and
Larson went high, then tried
to squeeze his way past Busch.
Larsons car bounced off of
both the wall and Buschs car,
but he was nipped at the nish
line by Busch by .023 seconds.
Hes got a lot of talent,
Busch said. Obviously, hes al-
ready made a name for himself
and hes got a lot going for him.
Im 27 and I feel like Im getting
old. Every time I looked in the
rear view mirror he caught me,
so I stopped looking. I didnt
want to know where he was at.
It was Buschs fth career
Nationwide victory at Bristol,
tying him with Kevin Harvick
for the most in the series.
Busch has a series-record 53
wins, and two in the last four
weeks after going winless last
season.
Brian Vickers was third and
was followed by Nationwide
Series points leader SamHorn-
ish Jr. and Harvick.

Justin Leonard blasts from the sand trap on the 15th hole dur-
ing the third round of the Tampa Bay Championship on Satur-
day in Palm Harbor, Fla.
Leonard in 3-way tie
for lead at Innisbrook
PALM HARBOR, Fla.
Justin Leonard walked toward
the 12th green Saturday at
Innisbrook and saw a score-
board that showed he was tied
for the lead in the Tampa Bay
Championship. He knocked in
his 8-foot birdie putt, assumed
he was ahead, and then never
looked at another board the rest
of the day.
He might do the same Sun-
day.
Theres no point in staring at
scores, not with so many names
separated by so few shots.
Besides, the Copperhead course
at Innisbrook is playing so dif-
cult even in pleasant weather
that its best not to think about
anything except the next shot.
It is hard, Leonard said
after his 4-under 67 put him
in a three-way tie for the lead
with Kevin Streelman and
George Coetzee of South Africa.
Theres not a whole lot of birdie
holes on those last six holes.
With the greens getting rmer
and faster as they did today
which Im sure they will again
tomorrow. You have to be pretty
patient out there and really pick
your spots pretty carefully.
Adam Scott and K.J. Choi set
the tone early for this wild day
by going into full retreat.
That allowed for a game of
musical chairs at the top of
the leaderboard, with nothing
remotely close to being settled
going into the nal day. Sixteen
players were separated by only
three shots at a tournament
where the winner has come
from behind to win in four of
the last ve years.
Streelman nished his 6-un-
der 65 nearly three hours before
the last group walked off the
18th green.
I wanted to get to 6 under
today, Streelman said. I had
that number in my mind to at
least have a chance going into
tomorrow, so I was happy to get
there.
He had no idea at the time he
would all the way to the top of
the leaderboard.
Leonard ran off four birdies
in a ve-hole stretch around the
turn and had the lead to himself
before a bogey from the bunker
on the 15th. Coetzee bounced
back from his lone bogey with a
birdie on the rowdy 17th hole,
where Hooters waitresses serve
wings in the grandstands. That
gave him a 68.
They were tied at 6-under
207, more evidence that the
Copperhead course is per-
haps the most complete test
in Florida. Even on a warm,
breezy afternoon, it was easier
to go backward that to move
away from the eld.
Scott and Choi were proof of
that.
Scott had a two-putt birdie on
the opening hole to briey take
the lead, and that was the high-
light of his day. He three-putted
from about 15 feet for bogey
on third, made bogey with a
wedge in his hand on the par-5
fth hole and stumbled to a 76.
Choi, who also was one shot
out of the lead, didnt make a
birdie in his round of 76.
They still were only ve
shots out of the lead.
Shawn Stefani, the 31-year-
old rookie who led by one,
had a 74 and still was only two
shots behind. His day could
have been much worse except
for a tee shot that caromed off
a tree and into the fairway on
the second hole, and a big hook
on the third that hit the tire of
a golf cart and stayed in play.
Instead of hitting his third shot
from the tee, he could reach the
green for a two-putt par.
The group one shot out of
the lead included 2010 winner
Jim Furyk (67) and Ben Kohles
(69), the Virginia grad who last
summer went from college to
two straight wins on the Web.
com Tour to earn a spot in the
big leagues.
Defending champion Luke
Donald had a 67 and was only
two shots behind at 4-under

Jordan Spieth of Texas, who is
coming off a runner-up nish in
Puerto Rico and can be set for
the year on the PGA Tour the
rest of the year depending on
how he plays Sunday.
He looks as if hes good
enough to win.
The group at 3 under includ-
ed Harris English, in a tie for
the lead on the front nine until
he stumbled to a 73, and Sergio
Garcia, who never looked happy
and sounded even worse on his
way to a 72.
English is among 12 players
from the top 16 who are not yet
eligible for the Masters.
Ai Miyazato leads LPGA
Founders Cup
PHOENIX Ai Miyazato
pulled back in front in the
LPGA Founders Cup on Satur-
day, making three birdies in a
four-hole stretch on the back
nine and saving par with a long
putt on the par-4 nishing hole.
The diminutive Japanese
star shot her second straight
5-under 67 after opening with a
tournament-record 64. At 19-un-
der 197, she had a two-stroke
lead over Stacy Lewis.
Miyazato was as graceful
and efcient as ever, making it
impossible to tell that shes re-
turning from a whiplash injury
sustained three weeks ago in a
ve-vehicle crash in Thailand.
Lewis birdied the last hole
for a 66 in cooler conditions on
the cactus-lined course. After
two days in the low-90s, it only
reached the mid-80s on Satur-
day at Desert Ridges Wildre

The third-ranked Lewis, com-

take the top spot in the world

Del Potro
knocks off
Djokovic
By BETH HARRIS
AP Sports Writer
INDIAN WELLS, Calif.
Juan Martin del Potro defeated
top-ranked Novak Djokovic 4-6,
6-4, 6-4 in the seminals of the
BNP Paribas Open on Saturday,
handing the Serb his rst loss in
21 matches dating to last Octo-
ber.
Del Potro snapped his own
four-match skid against Djokov-
ic, who had beaten the Argen-
tine in eight of 10 meetings.
Del Potros 133-mph ace
closed out the nearly 3-hour
match in 96-degree heat. Del
Potro raised both arms in cel-
ebration.
At times, the unseasonable
heat seemed to have worn down
Del Potro, who draped a white
towel packed with ice around
his shoulders on changeovers,
his chest heaving from several
long rallies.
It was Djokovics rst loss since
Oct. 31, when American Sam
Querrey beat him indoors at the
Paris Masters. The Serb had won
17 consecutive matches and two
titles, including the Australian
Open, to start the year.
Del Potro, the second Argen-
tine to reach the nal here, will
play Rafael Nadal for the title on
Sunday.
No. 2 seed Maria Sharapova
and No. 8 Caroline Wozniacki
will play in the womens nal.
Nadal rallied to beat Tomas
Berdych 6-4, 7-5 and reach the
nal.
Off to the best start of his ca-
reer, Nadal improved to 16-1
including 13 wins in a row on
the year, having won two clay-
court titles and been runner-up
in another since returning from
a left knee injury that idled him
for seven months.
Its very, very difcult to
imagine something like this. But
here we are today, and very hap-
py about all what happened the
last month, especially last three
weeks, said Nadal, who beat
No. 2 Roger Federer in straight
sets in the quarternals.
I dont have nothing to lose
after seven months.
It was Nadals 12th straight
win over Berdych.
He looks strong again,
Berdych said of Nadal, whose
leg is taped just below his left
knee. He still plays very aggres-
sive, and what he was missing in
his rst matches when he come
back after the injury was maybe
a bit of condence in his game,
but denitely not today and not
anymore.

this win today, Zeller said.
Well learn from it, well g-
ure out what we did wrong.
Well make the corrections
and be ready for next week.
Zeller and Oladipo each
made a couple of big plays
when Wisconsin tried to pull
away in the second half. Zeller
scored the rst ve points in
a 10-0 run that gave the Hoo-
siers a 41-40 lead with 13:27
remaining. Oladipo soared in
for a big offensive rebound
and made a pull-up jumper
during a quick six-point burst
that got Indiana within one
with 9:45 remaining.
The Badgers then ripped off
eight of the next 10 points to
open a 58-51 lead. Evans had
a layup, Brust went 1 for 2 at
the line, Jared Berggren made
a big 3-pointer and Dekker
dunked inside off a nice pass
from Jackson.
Just biding my time, pick-
ing my spots, Berggren said
of his only 3-point attempt in
a 4-for-4 performance from
the eld.

in their boots. So I think, right
now, every week is a big week in
this sport.
This week, nobody knows
what to expect at a track once
beloved for its action-packed
racing and drama it produced.
But a recongured racing
surface in 2007 altered Bristol
into two racing grooves, some-
times three, and drivers could
race side-by-side around the
tight bullring for the rst time.
Without a need to forcefully use
the front bumper to navigate
through trafc, the drivers thor-
oughly enjoyed the new Bristol.
Fans absolutely hated it, and
the track that boasted 55 con-
secutive sellouts suddenly had
swaths of open seats.
Track owner Bruton Smith
had seen enough last March
and ordered grinding to the top
groove in an effort to tighten up
the track and recreate the old
Bristol racing. He got some of
that in August, and the drama,
too: Tony Stewart angrily threw
his helmet at Matt Kenseth af-
ter contact between the two
knocked Stewart out of the race.
CAR
He nearly got lost in the pre-
liminary round, and was out of
a medal spot until his very last
dive of the day before making
two improbable rallies to reach
the medal stand.
You talk about a comeback!
yelled retiring Valley West div-
ing coach Rob Jacobs.
It was one for the ages.
Using a triple-somersault pike
on his 10th dive and a crowd-
pleasing 1 1/2 somersault dou-
ble-twister on his nal attempt,
Vest rolled up 103.7 during his
nal two high school dives to
leapfrog three other competi-
tors and reach the state medal
stand.
His school mate, Spartans
sophomore Ed Zawatski,
couldnt quite duplicate his
fth-place medal performance
in Fridays 50-yard freestyle. But
he did earn a top-10 state nish
in the 100-yard freestyle, taking
second place in the consolation
heat with a time of 46.16 sec-
onds.
It feels pretty good, Za-
watski said. This whole week-
end, with preliminaries and all
the other races, there were ups
and downs. And I got to come
back (for night races). I received
two opportunities and I accom-
plished something with both
opportunities in the 50 and 100
freestyle.
What Vest accomplished was
improbable and astounding.
Because initially, it didnt
seem Vest would stand even a
slight chance to secure a state
medal.
After registering a total score
of just 130, Vest sat in 23rd place
- and needed to pass three other
divers to make the states top 20
who advanced to the seminal
round.
His rst two dives are (usual-
ly) two of his best dives, Valley
West diving coach Rob Jacobs
said. They were ne, they were
just not phenomenal. They just
didnt look polished.
His fth and nal dive of the
rst round did.
Vest aced an inward 2 1/2
somersault so awlessly, it reg-
istered a rare 60 on the judges
scorecards and staved off early
elimination.
He moved up 12 slots in the
standings to 11th place, with
190.95 points entering the semi-
nals.
Coaches from all over were
complimenting him, Jacobs
said.
Vest was just getting started.
He scored a 50.40 on his open-
ing dive of the seminal round,
which moved him to 10th place
entering the three-dive nals.
Chances of medaling re-
mained bleak for him, though,
since Vest had to make up 15
points on a competitor to reach
eighth place with two dives re-
maining.
His 10th dive moved him
close.
He was the only diver at the
state meet to execute a triple-
somersault pike - landing feet-
rst in the water - and it regis-
tered a 46.4 on the scorecards
and about a three on the rich-
ter scale, if rumbling from the
stands was any indication.
Everybody got a thrill from
that one, Jacobs said.
The biggest thrill was yet to
come.
Cheered on by fellow diver
and Valley West classmate Kari-
na Zabresky, Vest came through
in the clutch.
Sitting 10 points out of eighth
place, Vest used his patented 1
1/2 somersault double-twister
to nish his day, scoring a 57.2
to earn seventh place in the
state for the second consecutive
year.
The twister, Ive ended every
meet with since my freshman
year, Vest said. I feel like I did
it pretty well. Im happy with
how I did it.
Were just thrilled, Jacobs
said. What a way to end a ca-
reer.

turn his opponent and get back
points. Instead, he got himself
in trouble on the last one as
Biscaha got two points for a
reversal with about 20 seconds
left in the period.
Still Krawchuk was in decent
shape holding the advantage
in riding time. He chose down
to start the third and was still
in good position in the match
if he got an escape or reversal.
But his moves didnt work on
Biscaha, who won four matches
in two days helped by be being
strong on top. In the last 40 sec-
onds, Krawchuk was working
hard on getting a reversal. In the
last 10 seconds, he got close, but
came up short as time ran out.
In Saturday mornings semi-
nals, Krawchuk advanced to
the nals pinning eighth-seeded
Cade Sarbacker in 4:58. Biscaha
moved to the nals with a 1-0
win over second-seeded Chris
Burdge from Centenary.
Krawchuk, who ends his sea-
son with a record of 29-4, was
trying to become the schools
eleventh national champion and
rst since Gene Ashley and Jim
Weisenuh each won in 1975.
His performance marked the
fth straight season that Wilkes
coach Jon Laudenslager has pro-
duced an All-American.
Berwick grad Aaron Karns, a
197-pounder, lost his seminal
Saturday morning in sudden
victory to fall into the consola-
tion bracket. He still nished as
an All-American and concluded
his season with the Aggies with
a mark of 32-6.
NCAA
As far as handicapping this race, who bet-
ter to ask than the man who was involved
in more hours of quarterback debate than
he cares to remember.
The best man will win, McGloin said
Thursday. Whatever guy goes home and
reads their playbook instead of watching
TV or playing video games is the guy thats
going to come out on top.
It was, after all, McGloins work ethic that
quickly won him the job last year, soundly
beating out Paul Jones and Rob Bolden.
OBrien and the coaching staff hope that
the new crop of signal-callers has the same
level of dedication that McGloin showed by
working diligently with his receivers dur-
ing the offseason.
So far, so good.
I dropped in on a couple of 7-on-7s
(the players) organized, McGloin said.
They look good. Its denitely going to be
a tough competition. And theres another
guy (Hackenberg) coming in the summer,
so well just wait and see.
2. Which jobs are up for grabs?
Aside from quarterback, Penn State loses
seven other starters from 2012 two on
the offensive line, two on the defensive line,
two at linebacker and one in the secondary.
Some spots have some clear favorites.
Mike Hull at outside linebacker. Adam
Gress at right tackle.
Without Matt Stankiewitch at center, the
Lions have some decisions to make on the
interior. Miles Dieffenbach, Ty Howle and
Angelo Mangiro are all candidates to start
at center. Any of the three could also end
up at left guard, where Dieffenbach started
last season.
Across the ball, Jordan Hill and Sean
Stanley are gone. Kyle Baublitz and Antho-
ny Zettel are second-teamers from a year
ago who have their shot to step up.
As OBrien said Friday in an interview
with ESPN, Valley View product Nyeem
Wartman will work with Hull and Glenn
Carson at rst-team linebacker this spring.
At cornerback, DaQuan Davis saw plen-
ty of snaps as a freshman and is looking to
replace Stephon Morris.
3. Who will provide the leadership?
Just as important as lling holes in the
depth chart created by graduation is lling
the void left in the locker room.
Naturally it will be impossible for this
group to match the job done by the 2012 se-
nior class, which held the programtogether
while on the brink of collapse.
Even back in December, OBrien
preached that the 2013 squad had to start
carving out its own identity. To accomplish
that, Penn State has the help of six return-
ing starters entering their senior season.
That would be John Urschel and Brandon
Moseby-Felder on offense and then Carson,
DaQuan Jones, Malcolm Willis and Ste-
phen Obeng-Agyapong on defense.
Other seniors with experience on the
eld include Gress, Howle, Eric Shrive,
Matt Lehman and Nate Cadogan.
Also helping the cause is the group that
broke out in 2012 as underclassmen, return-
ing starters such as Allen Robinson, Adrian
Amos, Deion Barnes, Donovan Smith and
Kyle Carter.
4. How will the defense adapt to John
Butler?
For long-time starters such as Carson and
Jones, this will be the third straight year
they open with a new defensive coordina-
tor.
The Lions have gone from Tom Bradley
to Ted Roof and now John Butler, who was
promoted from secondary coach in January
after Roof left for a job at Georgia Tech, his
alma mater.
Butler said he doesnt anticipate any ma-
jor overhauls of last seasons system or ter-
minology, so this transition shouldnt be as
tough for the players.
5. Will the roster stay intact?
Penn State looks to be mostly in the clear
as far as transfers go. Since the season end-
ed, the Lions have lost just two scholarship
players who had eligibility remaining in
running back Curtis Dukes and linebacker
Brennan Franklin.
OBrien was condent this winter that
the group he has will stick it out. Penn
State players still have until preseason
camp opens in August to transfer without
penalty.
The biggest hurdle remaining could be
at the end of the spring. Players who nish
the session further down the depth chart
than they would like will have a chance to
nd a new team to play for in the fall.

Boris Valabik made it 2-0 on
the next shift when his oating
shot from just inside the blue
line found its way past Zatkoff.
The Penguins actually had a
chance to take over the game in
the second period but failed to
capitalize despite playing more
than half of the period with the
man advantage.
Brian Dumoulin delivered the
lone strike when he nished off
a tic-tack-toe passing play with
a quick shot high to the blocker
side. The goal, scored during a
two-man advantage with just
over seven minutes left in the
period, got the Penguins to
within one, trailing 2-1.
Power-play time continued for
the Penguins when Maxim Gon-
charov was whistled for a board-
ing major and a game miscon-
duct on a hit on Brian Gibbons.
The Penguins managed only
two shots during the extended
man advantage and the period
ended with the Pirates leading
2-1.
I think the fact that we
scored the goal on the ve-on-
three really helped mentally,
said Hynes. I think if you go
that long on the power play and
you dont score its a detriment.
Even though we didnt score on
the ve-minute major we still
had scored. I thought I brought
positive energy.
The Penguins nished the pe-
riod 1 for 4 with the extra skater
in the second and 1 for 6 in the
game.

game in Boston on Saturday. At press time, the game was
still in progress.
Webster scores 34;
Wizards beat Suns
WASHINGTON Martell
Webster scored a career-high
34 points and became the
Washington Wizards rst
30-point scorer this season
in a 127-105 victory over the
Phoenix Suns on Saturday
night.
John Wall added 17 points
and 11 assists as Washing-
ton won its fourth straight at
home and third straight over-
all while setting its season
high in scoring.
Emeka Okafor added 17
points and 10 rebounds as
Washington snapped a 10-
game losing streak to Phoe-
nix, dating to 2006.
Michael Beasley scored
21 points and Goran Dragic
added 12 points and 11 assists
as the Suns lost their fourth
straight and their sixth of
eight in March.
Phoenix now owns the
worst record in the Western
Conference, a half-game be-
hind idle New Orleans.
Webster matched a career
high with seven 3-pointers, his
last coming on the left wing
just moments into the fourth
quarter to make it 105-84.
Webster shrugged toward his
bench after the basket, then
followed with a reverse dunk
to push it to 109-86.
Webster has hit four or
more 3-pointers in the last ve
games, a Wizards franchise
record, while shooting 55 per-
cent (26 of 47). Wall, mean-
while, has had nine or more
assists in his last four games,
and followed a 12-for-15 effort
in Fridays win over New Or-
leans with an efcient 8-of-11
shooting night Saturday.
We felt as though
we were playing well
but we kind of got
stung there by the
two goals quick.

one night, a pitcher who is the
very denition of a journeyman
became the best pitcher in the
universe.
As an American, I wanted
them to win. Its surprising,
Cincinnati outelder Jay Bruce
said. They had a great teamout
there, but thats baseball.
A day after Joe Mauer, Bran-
don Phillips and this latest U.S.
team again failed to reach the
championship game, there was
plenty of talk around the sport
about what Friday nights 4-3
loss to Puerto Rico meant.
Some wondered whether the
United States should put togeth-
er an even more packed roster
next time. Others say the U.S.
has lost its hold on the game it
invented. Many suggest the for-
mat of the tournament needs to
be tweaked.
It was a bit of an upset,
said Milwaukee inelder Taylor
Green, who played for Canada
in the WBC. Both teams were
good. But with one game in
baseball, you just never know.
It might have been different if it
had been in the regular season.
Whatever, there was only
one thing for sure Nelson
Figueroa, who was born in
Brooklyn and has pitched all
over the globe, threw a fastball
that never topped 88 mph and
still put his teaminto the semi-
nals while eliminating manager
Joe Torres side.
Defeated by the Dominican
Republic and Puerto Rico in
Miami, the U.S. team watched
those two clubs advance to the
nals. Theyll join two-time
champion Japan, which doesnt
have a single major leaguer on
its roster, and a surprising squad
from the Netherlands starting
Sunday in San Francisco.
For Team USA, it was a semi-
familiar result the club didnt
reach the seminals for the ini-
tial WBC in 2006, then lost to
Japan in the 2009 semis.
Nationals pitcher Ross De-
twiler was back at spring camp
Saturday.
It was kind of cool getting
my rst-ever save, but it wasnt
enough to get to the champion-
ship round and that was the ulti-
mate goal, he said.
Vogelsong, the winning pitch-
er in Game 3 of the World Series
last October, dismissed talk that
his U.S. teammates treat these
matchups merely as an exten-
sion of spring training.
These games are intense.
They mean a lot. Theres a lot of
pride at stake. Being in the post-
season and being here is very
similar.
Plus, the U.S. team had beat-
en Puerto Rico 7-1 three days
earlier behind Gio Gonzalez.
It piques some fans that many
top names were not on the ros-
ter. Justin Verlander, David
Price and Jered Weaver were
among the best pitchers absent,
while Mike Trout, Buster Posey
and Josh Hamilton werent in
the lineup.

Boesch hitless in Yanks debut, a loss to Phils
TAMPA, Fla. The New York Yan-
kees are hoping Brennan Boesch makes
the most of a big opportunity.
Boesch made his Yankees debut,
starting in right eld and going 0 for 3
Saturday as a New York split squad lost
7-0 to the Philadelphia Phillies.
New York agreed to a one-year con-
tract with Boesch on Friday.
Unique circumstance where we can
get a player whos played in the big
leagues the last number of years, Yan-
kees general manager Brian Cashman
said. Comes in here and gets a chance
to compete.
The Yankees will be without outeld-
er Curtis Granderson until at least May
due to a broken right forearm.
The 27-year old Boesch hit .240 with
12 home runs and 54 RBIs in 132 games
with Detroit last season. Boesch, who
hit a pair of grounders and struck out
Saturday, was released by the Tigers on
Wednesday,
They did me a favor, and it goes with-
out saying that Im thankful for them
to have done that, Boesch said of the
Tigers. Ive been in Detroit since 2006,
and its all I know. But sometimes it
comes to an end. I just couldnt be more
excited. What a great organization to be
in your second go around.
Boesch has recovered from an oblique
injury that impacted him earlier in
spring training.
He receives $377,049 from the Tigers
in termination pay rather than his $2.3
million salary and got a $1.5 million,
one-year deal fromthe Yankees, of which
$500,000 is guaranteed. Boesch can earn
an additional $600,000 in performance
bonuses: $50,000 each for 100 and 150
plate appearances, $100,000 apiece for
200 and 250, and $150,000 each for 300
and 350.
Domonic Brown hit his fourth spring
training homer, a three-drive in a four-
run fourth against Hiroki Kuroda, who
allowed four runs two earned and
six hits in six innings.
Philadelphia opening-day starter Cole
Hamels didnt make the trip and instead
pitched in a minor league intrasquad
game, where he gave up four earned
runs and six hits over ve innings dur-
ing an 84-pitch outing.
Phillies left-hander Raul Valdes, com-
peting for a bullpen spot, gave up three
hits over three scoreless innings.
Philadelphia right-hander Roy Halla-
day is scheduled to start Sundays game
against Baltimore. The two-time Cy
Young Award winner struggled in last
outing, giving up seven runs in 2 2-3 in-
nings against Detroit on Tuesday.
Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter played
in the eld on consecutive days for the
rst time since ankle surgery last year.
He doubled in two at-bats.
I think Im going to be concerned for
a while just because of what he went
through, Yankees manager Joe Girardi
said.
New York closer Mariano Rivera,
coming back after knee surgery last
year, struggled with his control during
his third appearance, throwing 8 of 17
pitches for strikes. He walked Steven
Lerud, induced a double-play grounder
from Ben Revere and struck out Michael
Young looking on 3-2 pitch during a
scoreless seventh.
Ive got a ton of at-bats against Mari-
ano, and have respect for the man, but
its a full count, and the crowd is going
crazy, I took one step out (toward rst)
and Im like, who am I kidding, hes ring-
ing me up, Young said with a smile. I
thought it was down, but too close to
take.
Philadelphia acquired Young, a 12-
year veteran, in December from Texas.
A career .301 hitter, Young spent the last
two seasons moving among four ineld
spots and designated hitter with the
Rangers. He is feeling comfortable play-
ing third base this year.
I have a good idea of the third base
that Im capable of playing, Young said.
So, everything so far so good. Weve put
in a lot of good work and I expect to be
putting in more. Preparation is the key
to anything.
Chad Durbin gave up two hits in three
shutout innings for the Phillies. Lerud
had a two-run homer off Shawn Kelley
in the ninth.

Mets Turner
sprains ankle
NotebooK
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.
Justin Turner, the leading
candidate to replace injured
David Wright at third base for
the Mets, left New Yorks game
against the Miami Marlins on
Saturday after spraining his
right ankle.
The Mets said Turner was
taken to a hospital for precau-
tionary X-rays.
Turner made a nice play on
a hard-hit grounder by Justin
Ruggiano, and his left leg buck-
led and his right foot turned
awkwardly when he tried to
throw to rst. Turner was limp-
ing badly and was replaced by
Brandon Hicks.
I think just getting up, going
to make the throw, I caught
my front spike on the lip of the
grass and then in order to try to
catch my balance, all my weight
went on my right foot and I
turned it over, Turner said. I
dont think its too bad, though.
I was able to walk off on my
own, and its not too swollen so,
hopefully, as long as it doesnt
blow up overnight and get too
bad, it will just be a couple
days.
Turner said he has sprained
both ankles several times.
Thats one reason I dont feel
like this ones too bad because
Ive had some pretty bad ones,
he said.
Wright has a left intercostal
muscle strain and is expected to
rest for up to four days before
he is reevaluated.
Hamels excited about
opening-day start
CLEARWATER, Fla. Cole
Hamels says its an honor to
start on opening day and hell
cherish his rst assignment
when the Philadelphia Phillies
begin the season at Atlanta.
Hamels already has a World
Series ring, a pair of postseason
MVP trophies and a lucrative
contract. Hes gone from ace of
a championship team to being
the No. 4 starter in a star-lled
rotation and now back to No. 1.
Even before Roy Halladay and
Cliff Lee joined the Phillies,
Brett Myers got the nod over
Hamels for opening day. Now
its nally Hamels chance.
Its something I will cher-
ish, he says. Its something Ill
be able to remember for a really
long time. At the same time, its
going to be a great season.
Hamels is coming off his
best all-around season. He set
career-highs in wins (17) and
strikeouts (216), compiled a
3.05 ERA and made his third
All-Star team.

Penguins beat Rangers for 8th straight win
PITTSBURGH Marc-
Andre Fleury couldnt help it.
With the Pittsburgh Penguins
franchise record for career
shutouts in sight late in the
third period against the New
York Rangers on Saturday, the
talented if occasionally erratic
goalie let his mind drift.
I wanted it so bad, Fleury
said. I tried to not jinx it. I was
touching wood, but yeah I was
looking forward to getting it
nally.
The reeling Rangers offered
little resistance.
Fleury stopped 23 shots for
his 23rd shutout one more
than Tom Barrasso and the
Penguins beat New York 3-0 for
their eighth straight victory.
Beau Bennett, Pascal Dupuis
and Tyler Kennedy scored, and
Dustin Jeffrey added two as-
sists as the Penguins continued
to dominate the series.
Pittsburgh has won seven
consecutive meetings with New
York, which lost for the fourth
time in its last ve games.
Henrik Lundqvist made 24
saves for the Rangers, but New
York failed to score for the third
time this season. The Rangers,
the best team in the Eastern
Conference last spring, trail
Pittsburgh by 14 points with six
weeks left in the regular season
and currently nd themselves
on the outside of the playoff
picture looking in.
Its gut check time pretty
much, New York defenseman
Dan Girardi said. Weve got to
gure out whats going on here
and play with some serious
desperation. Were falling in the
standings here.
The Penguins continued to
head in the opposite direction.
Pittsburgh is in rm control of
the Atlantic Division and in a
race with Boston and Montreal
for the conferences best record
thanks in part to a suddenly
responsible defense.

behind the net and the Bruins
beat the Washington Capitals.
David Krejci added a goal
and two assists, Rich Peverley
had a power-play goal and
Andrew Ference scored his rst
of the season on the eve of his
34th birthday for the Bruins,
who avenged a frustrating loss
against the Capitals earlier this
month. Bruins backup goalten-
der Anton Khudobin made 32
saves, and Lucic had a career-
high three assists.
Marcus Johansson was
credited with Washingtons goal
when the puck caromed into
the net off Bruins defenseman
Johnny Boychuk.
It was the Capitals fourth
loss in ve games.
Wild 6, Avalanche 4
DENVER Devin Setoguchi
scored twice and added the
100th assist of his NHL career
to help the Minnesota Wild
hold off the slumping Colorado
Avalanche 6-4 in a Saturday
matinee.
Ryan Suter started a four-goal
scoring spree in the rst period
to help the Wild win for the
fourth time in ve games. Cal
Clutterbuck, Kyle Brodziak and
Pierre-Marc Bouchard added
goals.
This was the second half of
a home-and-home between the
two teams, with Minnesota
winning 5-3 on Thursday night.
Senators 4, Sabres 3
BUFFALO, N.Y. Kyle
Turris scored his second goal
3:54 into overtime to give the
Ottawa Senators a victory over
the slumping Buffalo Sabres.
Patrick Wiercioch had a goal
and assist, and Chris Phillips
also scored for Ottawa, which
won for only the second time
in eight games (2-2-4). Tur-
ris added an assist, and Ben
Bishop made 31 saves in his
rst start in four games.
The Senators also extended
their string of games decided
by one goal to 11, which is one
short of matching the NHL re-
cord set by Chicago during the
1997-98 season. Drew Stafford
scored twice, and Mike Weber
also scored for Buffalo, 1-2-3 in
its past six games.
Turris goal came on the pow-
er play, after Christian Ehrhoff
was penalized for interference.
Daniel Alfredsson got the
puck at the top of the left circle
and faked a shot before sending
it low to Turris. Turris one-
timed it from a tough angle,
and roofed the shot over goalie
Ryan Millers shoulder.
Jets 5, Maple Leafs 4
TORONTO Zach Bogo-
sian scored in the 10th round of
the shootout to give the Winni-
peg Jets a win over the Toronto
Maple Leafs.
Bogosian beat James Reimer,
who replaced starter Ben Scriv-
ens to start the third period, for
Winnipegs second goal of the
shootout after Blake Wheeler
scored to open the shootout.
Tyler Bozak had the lone
shootout goal for Toronto.
Wheeler had two goals in
regulation, James Wright and
Antti Miettinen also scored
for Winnipeg, which earned
its fth win in six games and
moved into rst place in the
Southeast Division.
Winnipeg also clinched the
season series 2-1 after beat-
ing Toronto 5-2 at home on
Tuesday.
Blue Jackets 1, Coyotes 0
COLUMBUS, Ohio Sergei
Bobrovsky made 39 saves in
regulation and overtime, then
two more in the shootout to
nish with his second career
shutout both coming in
the last week to lift surging
Columbus to a 1-0 victory over
the Phoenix Coyotes on Satur-
day night, extending the Blue
Jackets franchise record point
streak to 10 games.
Artem Anisimov and Mark
Letestu scored in the shoot-
out, making nice moves then
ring shots past Mike Smith,
who made 23 saves and also
got credit for a shutout, his
fourth of the season and 23rd
of his career. It was the fourth
straight shootout game for the
Blue Jackets.
Lightning 4, Hurricanes 1
TAMPA, Fla. Tyler
Johnson and Ondrej Palat both
scored their rst NHL goals,
and the Tampa Bay Lightning
beat the Carolina Hurricanes.
Nate Thompson and Teddy
Purcell also scored for the
Lightning, who stopped a ve-
game losing streak at home.
Tampa Bay is 3-8 in its last 11
games.
Eric Staal scored the only
goal for the Hurricanes, who
dropped to 3-7 against fellow
Southeast Division games.
Canadiens 2, Devils 1
NEWARK, N.J. Big
defenseman Jarred Tinordi, in
his NHL debut, set up Tomas
Plekanecs tiebreaking goal in
the third period, and the Mon-
treal Canadiens extended their
winning streak to ve games
with a victory over the New
Jersey Devils.
Plekanec deected a shot by
the 6-foot-6 son of former NHL
defenseman Mark Tinordi past
Johan Hedberg at 6:49 after the
goalie made an ill-advised clear-
ing attempt from behind his
net. Tinordi got the puck above
the left circle and let it y.
Islanders 4, Panthers 3
SUNRISE, Fla. Casey
Cizikas broke a third-period
tie, and the New York Islanders
held on to beat the Florida Pan-
thers after blowing a three-goal
lead in the nal frame.
Cizikas took a pass from
Colin McDonald from behind
the net and got it past goalie
Scott Clemmensen from the left
of the crease at 12:55.
Kyle Okposo, Radek Mar-
tinek and Brad Boyes also
scored, and Evgeni Nabokov
stopped 27 shots for the Island-
ers (13-12-3), who are 5-1-1 in
March. New York also jumped
ahead of the rival New York
Rangers into ninth place in the
Eastern Conference.

American teen tops
Maze for slalom title
By GRAHAMDUNBAR
AP Sports Writer
LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland
Mikaela Shiffrin delivered an
astonishing second run to over-
take Tina Maze and clinch the
World Cup slalom title with an
improbable come-from behind
victory Saturday.
The American teenager
trailed Maze by a massive 1.17
seconds after the rst leg, and
needed to nish ahead of the
Slovenian to win the slalom
crystal globe in her rst full sea-
son on the circuit.
Shiffrin, who was fourth in the
morning, had a tentative start to
the second run but blazed down
the bottompart of course for the
fastest time of the afternoon.
When rst-run leader Maze
crossed the line in third, Shiffrin
put her hands to her face and
sank to her knees in the nish
area with tears in her eyes. Ber-
nadette Schild of Austria was
second in the race, 0.20 behind
Shiffrins combined time of 1
minute, 55.60 seconds. Maze
trailed by 0.35.
Im ex-
cited to reach
my goals. Its
amazing, said
Shiffrin, who
also won the
slalom world
c h a m p i o n -
ship title last
month. I am still trying to nd
my best skiing but this was my
best run of the season.
Maze had already clinched
the overall World Cup title
along with the giant slalom and
super-G disciplines but was still
visibly distraught at letting slip
such a big lead to Shiffrin.
Shiffrin was quick to pay trib-
ute to her rival, who set a new
World Cup points record in one
of the most dominating seasons
the sport has seen.
I actually want to thank Tina
Maze, Shiffrin said. Shes
probably going to punch me af-
ter this, but shes been very in-
spiring.
Maze led Shiffrin by seven
points in the slalom standings
going into the race.

Ted Ligety gets 6th
World Cup GS win
LENZERHEIDE, Switzer-
land Ted Ligety capped his
dominant season in giant sla-
lom with a sixth World Cup win
Saturday, fueling comparisons
with the best GS skier in his-
tory.
The American skier joined
Ingemar Stenmark as the only
men in the 47-year World Cup
history to get six GS victories
in a season. Stenmarks 10-race
sweep in 1978-79 is the record.
Its very surreal for any ski
racer, Ligety said of being lik-
ened to the Swede. He is at
another level thats not really
achievable.
Ligetys 17 career World Cup
wins in his specialist event are
a long way from Stenmarks 46,
though the latest came with
similar authority.
He raced smoothly down the
steep slope in a two-run time of
2 minutes, 14.76 seconds, beat-
ing overall World Cup winner
Marcel Hirscher by 0.37 sec-
onds.
Hirscher was runner-up to
Ligety for the fourth time, and
French prospect Alexis Pin-
turault trailed by 1.16 in third.
The 28-year-old Ligety had
three previous GS discipline
titles, but this was his best
season yet and included three
world championship gold med-
als.
His six World Cup wins came
from eight races, and he placed
third in the other two, won by
Hirscher and Pinturault.
This year in general has
been a great year. Its going
to be a difcult one for me or
anyone to achieve, said Ligety,
who never let up after dominat-
ing the traditional season-open-
er in Austria. Its been so great,
just from Soelden at the start
winning by 2.7 (seconds).
He also broke 1,000 World
Cup points overall and will n-
ish third in the standings. Both
are career bests.
Ligety completed an Ameri-
can victory double in glorious
sunshine at the World Cup -
nals in Lenzerheide. One hour
earlier, Mikaela Shiffrin deliv-
ered a come-from-behind vic-
tory to edge Tina Maze for the
womens slalom title.
That ensured that The Star
Spangled Banner was played
four times in quick succession
for the crowd of 9,000 specta-
tors.
Ligetys superiority was
helped by his ability to adapt
best to equipment changes in-
troduced for this season with
longer and stiffer skis meant to
make the discipline safer.
Some had predicted it would
also make the GS races less ex-
citing, but Ligety deed those
critics by delivering some of
the most dynamic skiing seen
all season in any discipline.
I had some of the most un-
believable runs this year, said
Ligety, who collected a trophy
this week when fellow skiers
voted his rst-leg performance
at Alta Badia, Italy, in Decem-
ber as the most exciting all sea-
son. I was able to keep it going
the whole year.
A buzz went around the
knowledgeable Swiss fans when
Ligety was in the start gate, and
he was warmly applauded after
completing each run
Its cool that people appreci-
ate that, Ligety said. Its be-
coming more exciting, especial-
ly with guys like Hirscher and
Pinturault being so good at it.
There are good story lines and
more rivalries.
Ligety acknowledged that he
must get closer to his main ri-
vals in slalom, which had nine
scheduled World Cup events
this season, to challenge for the
overall title.
Hirscher, a two-time overall
champion at 24, said Ligety had
told him it was a big goal.
If he feels more condent in
slalom, he can win for sure the
overall World Cup, Hirscher
said.

Signs of better
things to come
are all over
I
t was a good sign.
I heard the calls emanating from
the middle of a neighbors pasture,
shortly before dusk. A sharp series of
whistles meant a killdeer was fussing
about something, but to me it signaled
a return. When the killdeer comes
back, spring weather is not too far
behind.
All it takes is a bit of mild weather to
make the signs of spring explode out
of nowhere.
The killdeer is but one example.
Last week I spied a gobbler strutting
in the corner of a eld while a group
of hens pecked the ground, acting un-
interested for now. Ive gotten reports
that the gobblers are also sounding off,
shattering the early morning woods
with their dominating call.
Very few sounds can match a gob-
bling turkey when it comes to signal-
ing spring. A gobble resounding from
a hollow or on a hilltop commands
attention. Everything else in the woods
goes quiet when an old tom gobbles.
Gobbling is a way for male turkeys to
announce their presence to potential
mates. To me, a turkey gobble is the
denitive sound marking the end of
winter.
Well, one of them at least.
The sounds of spring can be heard
day and night. While birds such as
gobblers and killdeer dominate the
daylight hours, a diminutive frog takes
charge when darkness falls.
In addition to the killdeer, I also head
the rst Northern spring peepers call-
ing from a marsh last week. Their call
is just as the name implies, and when
dozens congregate in the same wetland
or pond, the sound can be deafening.
But in a good way.
A chorus of spring peepers provides
the perfect backdrop for an early
spring evening. The calls I heard last
week were a bit early, but it was a
welcome sound.
Like the sharp call of the killdeer
and the booming gobble from a turkey,
the sound of spring peepers is another
sure sign that winters grip is giving
way to a new season.
Every year I make a mental note of
when I hear the rst signs of spring.
Its a welcome respite from a winter
season that stubbornly lingers.
But not all of the signs of spring are
sounds.
There are plenty of sights as well.
Clusters of sassafras trees stand with
a bright green hue as swollen buds
appear at the tips of limbs, waiting to
bust out with leaves.
Robins return to the area from their
winter hideouts down south and can
be seen pulling earthworms from
yards. And though I havent seen any
yet, bluebirds will be returning for the
summer as well.
The once dormant moss around
spring seeps is quickly transforming
from a lifeless brown to a bright green,
soaking up the light afforded by longer
days.
And almost instantaneously,
crocuses spears are poking from the
ground, soon to be topped by vibrant,
purple owers.
Not of all the sights of spring center
around beauty, however.
The onset of spring brings plenty
of mud as the winters frost thaws.
Heavily used deer trails are churned
into paths of mud and rural dirt roads
heave and swell as the frost beneath
the surface melts.
Perhaps one of the worst signs of the
warmer weather to come was reported
by a friend, who told me ticks were
already attaching to his clothes during
a recent hike.
But in the big picture, the appear-
ance of ticks is only a minor one. After
a long winter, the sights and sounds of
spring are a benet that all of us who
enjoy the outdoors have been waiting
for.

Boat US is accepting applications
for sites to host Life Jacket Loaner
locations. There is no cost to host
a loaner site, but applications
will only be accepted until March
31 and those that meet the pro-
grams guidelines will be posted to
the Foundations Facebook page
for public voting. We want ap-
plicants to help spread the word
about keeping kids safe with our
life jackets, and also draw positive
publicity to their business or club,
said Outreach Manager Alanna Ke-
ating.
After public voting, each location
that is accepted into the program
will receive a life jacket loaner kit
- a protective container that holds
various sized life jackets for kids,
signage, promotional materials
and easy-to-use sign-out sheets to
track usage. The programis simple
for those hosting a location as well
as for boaters, anglers and sailors
needing a kids life jacket. All we
ask for in return is that the life
jackets are available for free to
the boating public in a readily ac-
cessible but secure location, and
hosts periodically let us know how
the program is going, added Ke-
ating. To apply or for more infor-
mation on the program or the life
jacket laws in your state, visitwww.

The Wildlife Leadership Academy
seeks applicants ages 14-17 for an
educational program focusing on
wildlife conservation and leader-
ship development. The Academys
mission is to empower youth to
become ambassadors for wildlife
conservation to ensure a sustained
wildlife legacy for future genera-
tions. Participants attend ve-day
eld schools and apply their knowl-
edge through year-round service
and outreach in their communities.
Two eld schools will be offered
this year: Pennsylvania Bucktails
focuses on white-tailed deer, and
will take place at Stone Valley
Recreation Area in Petersburg
(Huntingdon County) on June 18-
22. Pennsylvania Brookies focuses
on brook trout and coldwater sh-
eries, and will take place at Sieg
Conference Center in Hermitage
(Clinton County) on July 9-13.
The Academy is a cooperative initia-
tive led by the Pennsylvania Insti-
tute for Conservation Education,
with instructors from government
agencies, nonprots and universi-
ties including Kutztown University,
Pennsylvania Game Commission,
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Com-
mission, Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity, Quality Deer Management
Association, and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. The high
caliber and sheer number of con-
servation professionals who are
involved as instructors in this pro-
gram are beyond impressive, but
more than that is the commitment
of time, energy and passion that
each of these instructors gives to
the students, said ecologist and
instructor Lisa Smith.
Participants learn about wildlife and
sheries biology, habitat man-
agement, research techniques
and nature photography through
classroom and eld experiences.
They develop communication and
leadership skills through team-
building activities, educational
presentations, and mock town hall
meetings. Brook Martin of York
County described the program as
life-changing. He shared, I was
able to reach my full potential and
nd a career path that I feel will be
very rewarding. It was an experi-
ence that I will cherish and remem-
ber the rest of my life.
The eld schools prepare youth to
conduct service and outreach re-
lating to environmental education,
wildlife and conservation biology,
art and/or media engagement.
Each participant commits to com-
pleting at least three service and
outreach activities during the year,
and participants who complete the
most are rewarded with eld trips,
opportunities to return as men-
tors the following year, and college
scholarships. To date, Academy
graduates have conducted over
600 service and outreach proj-
ects, engaged in more than 2500
contact hours with the public,
and reached an audience of more
than 10,000 Pennsylvania citizens
across 46 counties in the state.
Field school applications are avail-
able at www.PICEweb.org and must
be submitted by April 1, 2013. For
more information, contact Michele
Kittell at mkittell@piceweb.org or
(570)245-8518.

Giants of our forests
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
N
ot many trees survived the
ax when most of Pennsylva-
nias forests were clearcut
more than one hundred
years ago.
But those that did have now reached
enormous proportions, towering almost
15 stories into the sky with trunks as
thick as eight feet.
And many of the centuries-old giants
can be found in Luzerne County.
For several years, naturalist Rick
Koval has been on a mission to nd and
document the mammoth trees of Lu-
zerne County. So far hes found plenty
in areas such as Kirby Park, the Lands
at Hillside Farms and Ricketts Glen
State Park.
But Koval doesnt just take a photo
and write down their location. He also
measures each giant to determine if
it qualies as a state champion or co-
champion tree in a listing maintained
by the Pennsylvania Forestry Associa-
tion, as well as the tallest trees in the
commonwealth. Several of Kovals nds
in the county already have qualied, in-
cluding a champion pin oak in Hanover
Township, which measures 15 feet in
circumference, a tulip poplar in Ricketts
Glen that stands 161 feet high, and
an 143-foot American sycamore along
the Susquehanna River, both being the
second-tallest of their species in the
state.
Luzerne Countys big trees also ap-
pear on the national listing, such as a
staghorn sumac in Plymouth Township
that is the largest in the country.
To nd the ancient giants, Koval
searches along the river, around old
farms and cemeteries and in the depths
of state forests where the mammoth
trees have been allowed to grow undis-
turbed for centuries.
Im really impressed with the
number of large species Im nding in
Luzerne County, and that speaks to the
history of this area, Koval said. This
county dates back to the 1700s, and
these trees are relics of the past.
There are four ingredients needed
for a tree to reach champion size age,
fertile soil, climate and a lot of luck,
according to Koval. Diseases such as
the hemlock woolly adelgid and the em-
erald ash borer are increasing threats,
he said, as are the elements.
With the number of severe weather
events and hurricanes weve had over
the last few years, weve lost a lot of old
trees, Koval said.
Centuries ago the biggest threat was
man, as countless acres of forest were
consumed in vast swaths. Not many
places were untouched, but those that
were now contain some of the few
places in the state where old growth
forest can be found. Koval said such a
place exists in Ricketts Glen State Park.
When Col. Ricketts owned the land
a long time ago, he intended to timber
it. But there is one portion that he
never cut, Koval said. You can nd
ancient white pine, Eastern hemlock,
sugar maple and yellow birch that are
just enormous.
Old farms are another of Kovals
favorite places. The Lands at Hillside
Farms in the Back Mountain is home
to the states second-largest Norway
spruce, silver maples with a circum-
ference of 20 feet along with massive
sugar maples , white ash and oaks.
Hillside has the highest concentra-
tion of large diameter trees out of all
the places that Ive visited so far, he
said. Farms in general are good places
because theyre old and some of the
large oaks, maples and hickories were
left standing because they served as
boundary trees for property lines.
Koval has already nominated 35
Luzerne County trees for champion and
co-champion consideration, and he is
currently searching old cemeteries in
Hanover, Dallas, Plymouth and Forty
Fort along with the banks of the river to
uncover more.
So far, the river has yielded plenty
of impressive nds, particularly the
stretch from Harding to Shickshinny
that is home to towering sycamores and
silver maples with girths exceeding 20
feet.
When Koval discovers a possible
champion tree, he uses an instrument
called a clinometer to measure the
height and angles of the tree, which
is then converted into feet. Criteria
considered for a champion tree include
circumference, height and spread.
In Luzerne County I have 90 of the
largest species catalogued and about 70
more to go, Koval said. Its just amaz-
ing that for centuries these giants have
survived right here and many continue
to do well.

Could it happen
again? Could your
retirement plans
end up in sham-
bles, and your
college savings
tattered?
As investors see
the stock market repeatedly climb-
ing to new records lately, some
people want to know that they will
be safe this time. theyd like to get
a taste of the action in the stock
market, but they want guarantees
that they wont get whacked again
like they were from late 2007 to
March 2009 a 57 percent hit.
if you fear a reoccurrence and
want assurances that it wont
happen again, you will never get
such certainty. Because the crash
of 2007-09 was one of the worst
in history, its unlikely but not
impossible that the next plunge
will be as horric. But some sort
of downturn is a sure thing, even
though its not clear when it will
occur or how bad it will be.
Academic studies show that even
professional investors are very poor
at predicting the future. When
times are good, they expect the
trend to continue. When times are
tough, they dont imagine improve-
ment until its far along.
Still, analysts do watch for early
signs of trouble in the market
signs like oncoming recessions or,
just the opposite, too many people
feeling like they cant lose.
When people see blue skies ahead,
they naively take excessive risks
buying overpriced stocks. ultimately
that leads to a market plunge because
stocks wont climb indenitely if
company prots arent strong enough
to warrant the stock prices. the
downturn can be either whats
known as a correction, or about a 15
percent dip in the stock market, or a
bear market, a lengthy plunge of 20
percent or more.
Now, analysts are comforted
because investors are still skeptical
of the stock market.
if there is some good news out
there, it is that a lot of the froth in
the recent survey data has receded,
said Gluskin Sheff economist david
Rosenberg, noting a recent poll of
investors by the Association of in-
dividual investors. only 31 percent
said they were bullish about the
market, or expecting stocks to keep
rising. their curbed enthusiasm
suggests stocks can keep climbing.
investors who want guarantees
need to be aware of the realities of
stock market cycles. Bear markets
happen about every 4 { to 5 years.
the average loss in such a market
is 38 percent, according to the leu-
thold Group.
thats unsettling, but bear mar-
kets happen only 34 percent of the
time. Bull markets, which plump
up 401(k)s and make investors feel
good, happen 66 percent of the
time.
Although people tend to think of
their gains as keepers that should
belong to them forever, the down-
turns are a natural part of invest-
ing a result of cycles. in the
cycles, exuberance fuels upturns for
a while, and then stocks fall until
bargain hunters show up and cause
stocks to climb once again.
Since 1900, there have been 23
bear markets and, on average, in-
vestments have recovered in about
2 { years, according to leuthold
Group research. But in the worst
bear markets, like the 2007-09 one,
the pain has lasted a lot longer. it
was March 5, 2013, or more than
ve years since stocks started
plunging in october 2007, before
the market recovered its value.
in the 2000-02 bear market,
stocks plunged 49 percent, and
investors didnt get back to even
until 2007. And after the 1973-74
bear market, investors had to wait
7 years.
that might be enough to scare
you away from the stock market in-
denitely. on the other hand, if you
want to partake in climbs like the
120 percent gain since March 2009,
you can follow a common nancial
planning practice: Since neither
sooner or later,
bear market
will growl back

SAN FRANCiSCo looking
for a job through Facebook?
Close Facebook friends may
help more than casual acquain-
tances, though these intimate
friends can also cause you some
stress, according to a study by the
social media giant.
the report by Facebook research
scientist Moira Burke was based
on a survey of 3,000 Facebook us-
ers who were asked about major
events in their lives, their stress lev-
els, and how much support they re-
ceived fromfriends and family, she
wrote thursday in a Facebook blog.
the study included 169 people
who recently lost their jobs.
Burke noted that sociologists
point to the strength of weak ties
in nding work, as acquaintances
may have a broader network that
could aid in job-hunting.
But on Facebook, she added,
thats typically not the case.
our research found just the op-
posite, she wrote. People who
talked more with strong ties were
twice as likely to nd a new job
within three months. And those
who talked more with weak ties
were less likely to nd a job.
thats likely because of the na-
ture of Facebook interactions.
one possibility is that people
dont actually hear about job
openings from their weak ties
on Facebook, she said. People
may not reveal their employment
plight to contacts they dont feel
close to. Weak tie stories might be
about less important topics, like
the Super Bowl or their vacation.
the Facebook study found that
users generally found social sup-
port on the site, and, Burke added,
their perceived support increased
month-to-month, the more they
talked with strong ties.
But theres a catch, she added.
talking with strong ties usually
feels good, but if youve recently
lost your job, it may have the op-
posite effect. We found that when
a subset of the group who had re-
cently lost a job talked more with
their strong ties, their stress lev-
els rose.
the reason apparently has a lot
to do with the typical dynamics in
any friendship or close relation-
ship.
Strong ties may make the
psychological distress of job loss
worse by offering unhelpful ad-
vice and pushing for recovery too
quickly, Burke wrote. People
may feel their independence
threatened by strong ties, increas-
ing resentment rather than relief.
Strong ties also experience anxi-
ety about doing anything upset-
ting, which may cause them to be
more casual and less encourag-
ing.

Contreras is 70 years old
and no mas, he insists
with a smile and he says
he is still t and hearty
enough to perform the hard labor of
Californias farm elds.
Contreras concedes his knees hurt
when he climbs ladders to pick peach-
es, nectarines and plums for $8 to $9 an
hour, six days a week, during the peak
summer harvest. And during the less
rigorous pruning of grapevines in win-
ter, he cant move as fast as the young
workers at least when they happen
to be around.
Amid the verdant elds and orchards
of Americas most bountiful agricul-
tural region, California farmworkers
are graying. A labor shortage deepens
as fewer younger workers arrive from
Mexico and more head home to stay.
increasingly, Californias $44.3 bil-
lion agricultural industry must rely
on the well-calloused hands of older
workers who came many years ago to
ll jobs pruning, planting, picking and
packing.
these days at Chandler Farms, a
fourth-generation family ranch 20 miles
south of Fresno, veteran workers like
Contreras are in the majority.
on a recent weekday, Antonio Mag-
daleno, 59, cut grapevines in a neigh-
boring eld. Magdaleno emigrated
from Michoacan, Mexico, in 1973 and
has spent 36 of his last 40 years on Cen-
tral Valley farms.
His features bronzed and weathered,
Magdaleno said he looks forward to the
mid-winter pruning, a beautiful time
and something special, marking the
start of the growing season.

the aging of Californias agricultural
workforce reects a convergence of

much of the vital labor to their elders.
tighter u.S. immigration enforce-
ment, as well as brutal cartel-driven vi-
olence along the Mexican border, have
deterred many potential workers from

And, amid a rebounding economy in

BUSINESS AGENDA
By Marie G. Mcintyre
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Q: After being promoted to a
deputy director position in my
agency, I initially felt excited
and grateful. However, I have
now become disillusioned, be-
cause the director doesnt in-
clude me in any activities. I am
supposed to be her back-up, yet
I know nothing about her job.
She also questions any ideas
that I propose.
I have a shy personality and
am not very aggressive, so Im
not sure how to gain authority
in my new role. So far, this pro-
motion has involved a change
in title and pay, but no real in-
crease in responsibility. How
can I stop being a token deputy?
a: Although youre feeling
intentionally excluded, its un-
likely that the director would
choose you for this job, then
deliberately sabotage your suc-
cess. A more probable explana-
tion is that your shy person-
ality is keeping you on the
sidelines.
While having a quiet temper-
ament can be an advantage, ti-
midity will only hold you back,
so you need to display more
self-condence. If you wish to
be included in a project, explain
why your involvement would
be helpful. When the director
questions your ideas, dont im-
mediately abandon them.
Because a deputys duties are
largely determined by what the
person above decides to del-
egate, these positions are often
poorly dened. Since your cur-
rent job description appears to
have some gaps, take the initia-
tive to draft a new one, then re-
view it with your boss.
People who are afraid to
ask for what they want fre-
quently become unhappy and
disgruntled. Since resentment
never helped anyones career,
appropriate assertiveness is a
skill that everyone needs to
develop.
Q: I work with four bullies
who constantly harass me and
slander me behind my back.
One of them is rude, bossy, and
openly hostile. I have discussed
this with my boss and the hu-
man resources manager, but
they defended the bullies and
refused to take any action.
We recently got a new man-
ager, so I would like to tell him
about this problem. Im not
sure howto approach him, how-
ever, because none of my other
co-workers will complain about
these people. What would you
suggest?
a: Based on your description,
its hard to knowwhats really go-
ing on here. You obviously feel
that you are being tormented by
a relentless pack of predators,
which has to be extremely stress-
ful. Its hard to focus on work
when youre feeling like a target.
On the other hand, no one
else appears to share this per-
ception. Your other colleagues
refuse to back you up, and your
supervisor and HR manager,
who are responsible for inves-
tigating such charges, have dis-
missed them. The new boss is
undoubtedly aware of this his-
tory, since incoming managers
are almost always briefed about
staff issues.
Since no one else sees this
situation as you do, perhaps its
time to consider a different view.
So instead of renewing your old
grievances, consider making
a fresh start by asking the HR
manager to help you repair these
fractured relationships.

you nor your adviser will
know when the market will
dip again, nancial planners
simply suggest you hedge your
bets by designing a mixture of
stocks for good times and bad.
If, for example, a person had
invested half of his or her mon-
ey in the stock market (Stan-
dard & Poors 500) and half in
long-term government bonds,
their average one-year loss
over the worst ve-year period
tracked by Morningstar would
have been just 2.8 percent.
If an investor had been more
daring and invested 70 percent
in stocks and 30 percent in
bonds, the annual loss in the
roughest ve-year period
would have been 6.3 percent.

own labor shortage and have
plenty of work to offer at home.
The upshot, according to the
California Farm Bureau Federa-
tion, is that more than 70 per-
cent of state agricultural produc-
ers anticipate a worker shortage
starting this spring and worsen-
ing though the growing season.
Some ofcials estimate the labor
force could fall by more than
80,000 farmworkers down
from the 450,000 workers on
whomfarmers have come to rely
for the peak harvest of late sum-
mer.
Basically, were running out
of low-skilled workers. People
simply are not doing farm work
to the extent they were doing
before, said J. Edward Taylor, a
University of California-Davis,
economist who has studied the
migration of farmworkers from
Mexico.
Contreras, the 70-year-old
farmhand, says he is happy to
be among those still working
the orchards and vineyards at
Chandler Farms, which produc-
es tree fruit, raisin grapes and
almonds.
What I like is being out with
people in the fresh air, said
Contreras in Spanish, his eyes
glinting in the crisp morning
sun. Imalive, active and ready
for this work.
Grinning, he contorted to
parody a feeble man shriveling
into a ball. If I dont work, Ill
do this, he said.
But from Californias Central
Valley to Washington D.C., the
graying workforce adds urgen-
cy to the debate over immigra-
tion reform.
Farm lobbyists and elected of-
cials are discussing remedies
that include granting legal status
to more than one million un-
documented farmworkers in the
United States and establishing
an expanded guest worker visa
program for agriculture to en-
sure a steady supply of laborers.
We have to try to nd a sys-
tem that is not going to cause a
major disruption to our indus-
try, said Bryan Little, director
of labor affairs for the Califor-
nia Farm Bureau Federation.
The industry group favors let-
ting undocumented farmwork-
ers stay in the country while ap-
plying for legal status, as well
as drawing in seasonal guest
workers to replenish the labor
force.
California agricultural in-
terests estimate that as many
as 70 percent to 90 percent of
farmworkers in the state may
be here illegally, often present-
ing counterfeit documents to
secure work.
Those who face the least
danger of deportation and
who are least likely to ee in
immigration raids tend to
be veteran workers, whose U.S.
residency is more established.
Bill Chandler, 73, runs the
family ranch in Selma with
his son, John, who is 35.
Chandler says his workforce
largely consists of older la-
borers who got permanent
residency or U.S. citizenship
under a 1986 immigration re-
form law signed by President
Ronald Reagan.
There are always people in
the ag labor force who dont
have (proper) papers, Chan-
dler said. So were all scram-
bling for what labor is here.
And theyre older folks.
He added: Theyre special.
Theyre really special.
LABOR
By HEATHER SOMERVILLE
San Jose Mercury News
Move over, Barbie; theres a new girl in town.
She goes by GoldieBlox, and unlike her name-
sake, Goldilocks, she doesnt get into mishaps in-
volving three bears. This Goldie is a female engi-
neer character who invents, designs and builds to
inspire a future generation of women engineers.
GoldieBlox is the brainchild of Stanford Uni-
versity graduate and engineer-turned-entrepre-
neur Debbie Sterling. She created GoldieBlox
which includes a construction toy set and
storybook starring the tool-wielding character
Goldie to teach girls basic engineering skills
and open more pathways for women to pursue
jobs in the male-dominated industry.
Im trying to give girls something more than
just dolls and princesses, she said.
Sterling, 30, hopes that the soon-to-be-released
GoldieBlox will teach more girls to love tech-
heavy disciplines and open their minds to en-
gineering. And if Sterling can shake up the old-
school toy industry, which for years has offered
girls little more than busty dolls and pink Legos,
all the better, she said.
If youre a little girl, you have Barbie and Polly
Pocket, Sterling said. You have fashion icons
and beauty and spa, and youre told whats impor-
tant is what you look like.
But this isnt just a plug for girl power; Oak-
land, Calif.-based GoldieBlox has caught the at-
tention of researchers and educators across the
country who say the toy could help engage more
girls in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics, or STEM, an education priority for
the Obama administration.
The GoldieBlox book, written and illustrated
by Sterling, follows Goldie as she invents ma-
chines and solves problems with a cast of animal
friends that includes a Spanish-speaking dog, Na-
cho, and a tutu-wearing pink dolphin. The peg-
board and tool kit allow kids to build whatever
Goldie is building in the book, and learn engi-
neering concepts, like howa wheel and axle work
and the basics of tension, force and friction.
I cant wait to have her sitting there on store
shelves in her overalls and her tool belt, because I
think that that sends a strong message, Sterling
said.

HELD ABROAD
The British are coming! And so are
the Caribbean islanders, Canadians
and Japanese. Foreign investors
own 14 percent of the U.S. stock
market, according to the latest
government data. Thats the highest
proportion on record going back 68
years. Much of that belongs to
investors in the Cayman Islands and
elsewhere in the Caribbean. These
tax havens are often home to
professional investors. But nearly a
third of the foreign ownership is
concentrated in just three countries:
the United Kingdom, Canada and
Japan. The interest is heading in
both directions: U.S. investors are
also increasingly going abroad for
their stock investments.
FABULOUS FIFTH
The bull market is entering its fifth year, which has historically been a
strong one for investors. Only five of the 11 bull markets since World War
II have lasted at least five years. Of those that did, the average gain was
21 percent in the fifth year,
according to S&P Capital IQ.
That makes it the second-
strongest gain of the first
five years of a bull market.
A 21 percent jump would put
the Standard & Poors 500
index at 1,877 in March
2014.
Extending through a sixth
year is even more rare: Only
three bull markets have
done that since 1947. But
that year has been even
better historically, with an
average gain of 26 percent.

LOOMING HIKE
The Federal Reserve has told investors to expect the feder-
al funds rate to remain exceptionally low until the unemploy-
ment rate falls to 6.5 percent from its current 7.7 percent,
unless inflation threatens to take off in the interim. But many
investors are nevertheless worried about what will happen
when rates do rise.
Citi strategist Tobias
Levkovich looked at the
average performance of
sectors the prior three
times that the Fed began
hiking rates, in 1994, 1999
and 2004. Nine of the 10
industries that make up the
S&P 500 fell in the month
following the first rate hike.
Only energy stocks eked
out a positive gain one
of 0.03 percent.

Title: President and CEO of
Putnam Investments, a
Boston-based manager of $133
billion in assets as of Jan. 31.
What he suggests: Most
participants in 401(k) plans should
be saving at higher rates to ensure
they can build up adequate
retirement savings.
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Robert Reynolds
Putnam Investments CEO
Robert Reynolds says policymak-
ers and the financial services
industry need to do more to
strengthen Americans retirement
savings.
One of the most pressing
needs, he says, is to boost the
default savings rate of workers
who are newly enrolled in 401(k)
plans. Most employers deduct 3
percent from the paychecks of
auto-enrollees who dont select
their own savings rate. Reynolds
says 3 percent isnt nearly enough
to put a typical worker on track to
a secure retirement. Before joining
Putnam in 2008, Reynolds helped
build the 401(k) business at
another Boston-based company,
Fidelity Investments.
Why isnt 3 percent enough?
Many employers have auto-
escalation features that boost
that percentage over time.
Three percent is just what the
government put out as an idea
when the Pension Protection Act
of 2006 became law. People can
always lower their rate if they
want and the starting rate for
auto-enrollment should still be a
company decision.
By starting workers at 3
percent, many of them think thats
the rate they should be saving
at for the long term. But its too
low. They should be saving at
10 percent. Industrywide, the
average participant savings rate
is 7 percent. But the new baseline
should be 10 percent plus. We
dont serve anyone well by allow-
ing them to believe that saving
3 percent, or 5 percent, or even
7 percent, is enough to ensure
retirement readiness.
You suggest that 6 percent
might be a more appropriate
starting rate. How did you arrive
at that figure?
Not every company makes match-
ing contributions, but you want
every employee to maximize the
match. And usually, thats at the 5
to 6 percent level.
By starting out at that level,
some workers wont have
enough for immediate needs
like an emergency fund and
could end up taking loans from
their 401(k) account. How do
you balance the need to save
for retirement with potential
shorter-term needs?
For most people, you cant start
saving early enough. The power
of compound interest is enormous
in these types of investment
programs.
But I do favor continuing to give
participants the ability to take out
401(k) loans. Around 20 percent
of participants take loans out. So
if you contributed more than you
would have otherwise by saving
at a higher rate, then 80 percent
are doing great. Keeping the ability
to take out a loan if needed is
important. If you know youll have
access to the money if you need it,
youll feel more comfortable about
contributing more to your savings.

Dividend investors often start by looking
for the highest yields. But the smartest in
the crowd also assess whether a
company can sustain the payments it
makes to shareholders.
Although that is not an easy judgment
to make, its not difficult to find industry
leading companies that have consis-
tently raised their dividends. Seven of
the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones industrial
average have increased their dividends
for 30 years in a row, according to S&P
Dow Jones Indices. Thats a strong
indicator that theyre likely to continue.
These seven stocks all pay higher
yields than the 2.1 percent offered by the
Standard & Poors 500 index.
The yield is how much a
company pays per share per
year divided by the stock price.
Keep in mind that a yield can be
high say 4, 5 or 6 percent
because the company is in trouble
and its stock price has declined. If a
company continues to pay the same
dividend, the yield automatically
increases as the stock price
declines. If a companys troubles
worsen, not only will the stock price
fall further, but the dividend could
be cut as well. Its whats known
as a dividend trap.

Investors got a pleasant surprise
from companies this past earnings
season. Again.
More than 70 percent of compa-
nies in the Standard & Poors 500
index reported earnings per share
for the fourth quarter that topped
financial analysts estimates,
according to FactSet. Its become a
habit for companies in recent years.
Since the first quarter of 2009,
when the stock market bottomed, at
least 65 percent of S&P 500
companies have reported earnings
above expectations in every
quarter.
This screen shows S&P 500
companies that beat expectations
by some of the widest margins. All
of these stocks exceeded forecasts
by 75 percent or more. The average
company in the index topped
analysts estimates by 3.4 percent.
Insurer Travelers (TRV), for
example, more than tripled
expectations by reporting 72 cents
per share in earnings, compared
with a forecast for 20 cents.

Mortgage rates rise
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage
jumped last week to its highest level since Au-
gust, according to Freddie Mac. It climbed to 3.63
percent from 3.52 percent, and the gain of 0.11
percentage points matched its biggest one-week
rise in the last 51 weeks. Mortgage rates have
followed Treasury yields higher on signs that the
economy is improving.

The message is this: engineer-
ing isnt just for boys.
Toys are a crucial entry
point for kids to get exposure
to STEM disciplines, and girls
miss out on some of the early
playtime experiences neces-
sary to develop those skills,
said Yvonne Ng, who heads St.
Catherine Universitys National
Center for STEM Elementary
Education.
Were not engaging girls.
Were still thinking in very male
terms, Ng said.
By the fth grade, Ng said,
many girls have checked out
of math and science, which
they see as a boys subjects
where girls cant succeed. That
self-doubt extends to higher
education, where girls are more
likely to drop out of science- and
math-based majors.
Theres this belief that
theyre not competent, even if
their grades say they are, Ng
said. Women dont feel like an
engineer. They feel like an im-
postor.
Sterling, who graduated from
Stanford with an engineering
degree in 2005, developed Gold-
ieBlox with help from Kick-
starter, an online crowd-funding
platform for creative projects.
She raised $286,000 almost
twice her goal in about a
month. After her fundraising
video went viral on social me-
dia, she received about 22,000
online pre-orders for the toy,
which brought in money to start
production.
The project was inspired by
the gender inequity Sterling wit-
nessed rsthand as an engineer-
ing student.
I was one of very few women
in the program, she said. In
every class I went into, I was al-
ways one of a handful of girls in
a room of 80 or 90 people. Its
hard being a minority in a male-
dominated eld.
According to studies by the
American Association of Univer-
sity Women, about 87 percent of
professional engineers are men.
Sterling hopes GoldieBlox will
move that statistic in the favor of
women. The toy lands on store
shelves next month, but the rst
18,000 pre-ordered copies are
set to be delivered this week. Al-
ready, Sterling has plans to make
GoldieBlox into a series and says
shes set to launch an interactive
digital version for the Apple iPad
late this year.
The successes, or failures,
of GoldieBlox will be carefully
tracked by a Pennsylvania State
University professor and gradu-
ate student who will spend the
next couple of years studying
the effect the toy has on girls.
Lynn Liben, a distinguished
professor of psychology who is
leading the research, said that
GoldieBlox is one of the few
toys that breaks the gender ste-
reotypes reinforced by the toy
industry.
Many toy companies are still
marketing to boys versus girls,
Liben said. It tells people that
boys and girls are different when
it comes to playing or building
or getting dirty. That can be
problematic because not every
kid ts that gender tendency
that might be typical.
But two decades after a talk-
ing Barbie doll was famously
criticized by womens groups for
saying math class is tough, the
$21 billion toy industry is show-
ing signs of change. Last months
New York International Toy Fair,
one of the largest industry events
to showcase new products, fea-
tured a handful of girl-focused
toys to teach STEM skills.
Among them was Nancy Bs Sci-
ence Club, a line of science jour-
nals and microscopes, binoculars
and telescopes for girls.
Nancy Balter, who led the
toys development for Gardena,
Calif.-based company Educa-
tional Insights, said parents and
grandparents are also losing in-
terest in the old princesses and
dolls.
There is clearly an interest
in having daughters grow up to
major in not only biology but
in engineering and math, she
said. Times have changed in
terms of thinking of women do-
ing these things.

NEW YORK There are three jobs
open at Rodon Group, a plastic parts
manufacturer near Philadelphia. But de-
spite the reports of a shortage of skilled
workers nationwide, CEO Michael
Araten isnt sweating it.
Rodon, located in Hateld, Pa., works
with local community colleges to make
sure students the rms prospective
employees get the skills they need
to work at the company making plastic
parts for products suchas bedframes and
machinery. Anyone using its manufactur-
ing equipment needs to have math and
computer skills.
Were willing to look at non-tradition-
al methods, Araten says.
Companies across the country have
been working short-handed because its
hard to nd workers with the skills they
need. The shortage is harder for small
businesses than it is for larger ones. They
dont have as many employees to step in
to when theres an opening. Twenty-one
percent of the owners who recently took
part in a survey by the National Federa-
tion of Independent Business said they
had openings they couldnt ll.
But some owners are ndingsolutions.
Like Araten, they partner with schools.
Some are running in-house training pro-
grams or pair skilled employees with co-
workers who arent up on the latest tech-
nology. And others are changing their
recruiting strategy.
The skilled-worker decit is getting
more attention as the economy im-
proves and businesses hire more. Presi-
dent Barack Obama mentioned the is-
sue in his State of the Union address
last month, calling for more training
for workers.
THE PARTNERSHIP SOLUTION

Araten and other Philadelphia-area
manufacturers have formed a group to
work with local community colleges to
be sure students get the ground in math,
science and computer skills that theyll
need for jobs like building and operat-
ing robots. When they arrive at Rodon,
theyll start learning the companys man-
ufacturing processes. Rodon, which also
makes KNex toys, brightly colored plas-
tic pieces that can be combined to form
cars, animals, rollercoasters and other
objects, uses a manufacturing process
called plastic injection molding thats run
with computers and robots.
Rodons workforce of about 100 is get-
ting older. CEO Araten wants to be sure
he has people ready to step in as workers
in their 50s and 60s start to retire.
Thats why weve increased our re-
lationship with schools to be sure were
rst in line, he says.
Tailored Label Products partner is a
program called Second Chance, which
nds training and jobs for students who
are in danger of dropping out of high
school, says Tracy Tenpenny, a vice
president at the Menomonee Falls, Wis.
company. The students learn how to use
complex computer-operated machines to
create customized labels that go into car
engines and electronic equipment. They
spend two hours each day in class and
six hours at the factory earning slightly
above minimumwage.
THE RECRUITINGSTRATEGY
The super-high-skilled worker that
Burt-Watts needs is going to be hard
to nd and the company knows it,
says Heather Merz, its chief nancial
ofcer.
The Austin, Texas contracting com-
pany has done mostly interior work,
but decided in 2011 it would expand its
division that constructs buildings from
the ground up. It began looking for work-
ers with highly specialized skills: They
had to be knowledgeable about the Aus-
tin construction industry, specialize in
ground-up construction and have con-
nections with good subcontractors.
We started realizing, this may be a
little more challenging thanwe thought,
Merz says.
So the company decided to search
more aggressively for candidates. It
sends a team of recruiters to Texas col-
leges that grant degrees in construction,
like Texas A&M. They go to job fairs to
interview students in much the same
way that lawrms and Fortune 500 com-
panies do. The strategy also gives the
company access to experienced job can-
didates through alumni ofces.
The company expects that it will take
some time to ll its current opening for
an estimator, someone who works with
customers and subcontractors on a proj-
ect to come up with a price. The search
began in mid-January.
We dont usually get too frustratedbe-
cause we know that if we take our time
we will nd the right t, Merz says.

Editorial
S
TATE SEN. Lisa Baker
continues to be a voice of
measured reason in our hyper-
partisan political world. The
Lehman Township Republican
got it right during a television
panel discussion Thursday on
armed guards in schools.
We need very well-trained
resource ofcers and individu-
als who have the proper Act 120
training, Baker argued. Im
very concerned about extend-
ing that to individuals who have
not had the training.
This seems so obvious its a
marvel more people dont make
the point in our mad rush to ll
schools with guns following the
Connecticut shootings.
It has not been said often
enough since that tragedy:
Schools are and continue to be
among the very safest places
for children. Our youngsters are
far more likely to be injured or
killed at home or on the streets.
And it seems wise for propo-
nents of the armed ofcer in
every building idea to pause
and consider the possibility that
most schools are safe because
they are largely gun free.
This is not an argument
against resource ofcers pack-
ing heat in every school. Well-
trained resource ofcers have
proven their worth in many
high schools, often forging posi-
tive relationships with students
that can help prevent violence
outright or cut it short when it
manifests.
But if we are putting guns
in schools, it makes sense to
require a minimum level of
training in both rearm use
and conict resolution, as well
as rigorous background checks.
Periodic additional training and
testing would be wise as well.
It also requires consensus
among the stakeholders ad-
ministrators, teachers, school
boards and parents. Armed of-
cers should not be foisted on
districts that do not want them.
Which is why State Rep.
Kevin Haggerty, D-Lackawanna
another guest on the show
on WVIA-TV deserves some
acknowledgment for proposing
a bill that would provide $90
million for guards without re-
quiring them.
One can make a strong argu-
ment that so much money could
be better spent on academic
programs, or on other security
improvements such as two sets
of locked doors at entry points,
but if guards are what districts
truly want, this could be one
way to help provide them.
But Baker provided the true
voice of reason, arguing that
alternatives to armed guards
should be considered rst, and
that if armed guards are chosen,
training should be required.
Because in the end protecting
children cant be about guns; it
has to be about truly caring --
and thoughtful -- adults.

N
ew budget proposals
this week from inu-
ential members of the
House Republican and
Senate Democratic leadership
are the stuff of political carica-
tures. House Budget Committee
Chairman Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis.,
last years Republican nomi-
nee for vice president, reprised
the spending-cut talking points
from his failed campaign with
little change and no apparent
irony. Senate Budget Commit-
tee Chairwoman Patty Murray,
D-Wash., meanwhile, offered the
outlines of a budget that increas-
es taxes and spending, while do-
ing little more than buying time
on the entitlement programs
at the heart of Washingtons
long-term problems. Neither
approach offers a realistic way
forward. Instead, they give Re-
publicans and Democrats yet
another arena in which to ght
their ideological battles over the
size and scope of government.
The spending blueprint Ryan
released Tuesday would balance
the federal budget by 2023, rely-
ing in part on the tax increases
and Medicare savings that Dem-
ocrats championed but Ryan
railed against on the campaign
trail last year. It also recycles
proposals to strengthen Med-
icaid, food stamps and Medicare
by capping federal spending on
themand giving recipients more
exibility. Promoting innova-
tion in those programs would
be welcome, but Ryans budget
would cut costs at the expense
of maintaining the federal safety
net and Medicares guarantee of
affordable coverage for all se-
niors.
Murrays proposal, which will
be formally released Wednes-
day, has a less ambitious goal.
It seeks to bring down the de-
cit over the coming decade so
that the federal debt wont grow
faster than the economy. Thats
a ne target for the near term.
Unlike Ryans budget, however,
Murrays plan wouldnt nec-
essarily stop the decit from
growing rapidly again in later
years as Medicare rolls expand
and the cost of medical care in-
creases. Meanwhile, she would
provide $100 billion in new
stimulus spending and replace
the across-the-board seques-
ter cuts with $1.95 trillion
worth of tax hikes, unspecied
reductions in entitlements and
smaller reductions in discre-
tionary programs.
In short, the proposals play to
the polarized extremes of each
party. To Ryan, cutting spend-
ing is crucial to reviving the
economy; to Murray, the key
is pouring federal dollars into
infrastructure projects and job
training. Ryans budget would
simplify the tax code in order to
cut tax rates; Murrays would do
so to raise revenue by almost $1
trillion over the coming decade.
If these ideas sound familiar,
they should they were re-
peated ad innitum during last
years campaign. Lawmakers
will have to step out of their ide-
ological comfort zones and nd
a path they can walk together.

Vice President / Executive Editor
Heres to our right to make stupid and foolish decisions
PERHAPS yOU remem-
ber when Dr. Doom
conquered the world.
Or perhaps you dont.
Sadly enough, even in
this day and age, not
everyone is comic book
literate.
Sufce it to say, then, that back in the
80s, Marvel Comics published a graphic
novel in which the villainous Victor Von
Doom achieved his dearest goal: to rule
the world. And he made it a better place,
too. Famine ended, the stock market
climbed, crime fell, occupying armies
withdrew, racial oppression vanished.
Doom turned the planet into a paradise
and the only cost of his benecence was
free will. He created a device that took
away the ability of human beings to de-
cide for themselves.
When the Avengers defeated him, the
world returned to rack and ruin as human-
ity reasserted its right to be as bleeped up
as it wanted to be. The Avenger Hawkeye
wondered aloud if they had done the
right thing. Whereupon Captain America
admonished him, The world isnt perfect.
**But people are free to make their own
choices and thats the way it should
be.
He could have been talking to Michael
Bloomberg.
The emperor beg pardon, the mayor
of New york City was defeated Mon-
day, not by the Avengers, but by a state
Supreme Court judge, Milton Tingling,
who struck down Bloombergs ban on the
sale of extra large, non-diet soft drinks.
Justice Tingling, though not known to
possess superpowers, nevertheless zapped
the forces of overreach. Arbitrary and ca-
pricious, he called the restrictions, which
would have taken effect Tuesday.
But Bloombergs ban was more than
that. It was the very denition of liberal-
ism run amok, a good idea (people should
limit their intake of sugary soft drinks)
driven headlong into the weeds of over-
kill, over regulation and basic preposter-
ousness. The resemblance to conservative
extremism and its resort to unwieldy laws
to govern behaviors it disapproves (did
someone say transvaginal ultrasound?),
is doubtless unintended, but no less real
even so.
Apparently, if you send two people
venturing out, one to the extreme left,
and the other to the extreme right, of our
political spectrum, they will end up face
to face. Because the distinguishing charac-
teristic of extreme liberalism or extreme
conservatism is the extremism; itself, the
fact that some people just dont know
when to quit.
Obviously, the state is sometimes
obliged to impose restrictions. One
shouldnt be allowed to sell Camels to
kindergarteners. Or do 90 on a residential
street. Or discriminate by race, creed,
gender, condition or sexual orientation.
But there is a difference between those
restrictions the state imposes to protect
the health, welfare and property of those
around us from us or defend the vulner-
able from exploitation and those the
state imposes to regulate behavior that is
simply unwise. The latter reects a lack of
faith in the wisdom of people, their abil-
ity, when properly informed, to make the
right choice.
yes, obesity is a crisis impacting our
health, our economy and even, some have
argued, our national security. We are a
lard butt nation waddling toward demise.
Got it.
yet, if Americans kicked their cigarette
addiction by a public campaign that edu-
cated them to the dangers thereof, what
reason do we have to believe they would
not be able to kick sugary soft drinks by
the same means? None.
So Bloomberg is wrong, and Captain
America was right. If one is not free to
make ones own bad or stupid decisions,
then one is not free. It is an abiding
truth of which we seem to need constant
reminders.
Perhaps you remember the axiom
about eternal vigilance being the price of
freedom. If so, you will not be surprised
to hear that Dr. Doom, as he escaped, said
he was only defeated for now. Or that
Mayor Bloomberg has vowed to appeal.

COMMENTARY
L E O N A R D P I T T S J R .
Snowquester, sequester: They both inspire a yawn
IT IS tting that we referred to last weeks
storm-that-wasnt as a snowquestration.
And not just because it was kind of embar-
rassing and shut the government down.
No, the meteorological turbulence
such as it was was like the economic
turbulence in another way, leaving us all
wondering: When will it arrive, and how
bad will it be? Or will $85 billion in auto-
matic budget cuts miss me altogether?
This uncertainty was compounded by
confusion when the Dow hit record levels
anyway. It made me question whether I
knew anything at all about economics,
and I answered myself: No.
I have done my darnedest to under-
stand what the sequester is and what it
will do, and my best guess is that it was
put into place because no one could agree
on anything, and it took effect because no
one could agree on anything.
Sort of like three couples trying to de-
cide on a destination for dinner: Nobody
ends up eating where they really want to
eat. Only with a lot more brinkmanship.
It makes you long for the return of George
W. Im the decider Bush.
Ive decided to do exactly what Presi-
dent Barack Obama does not want me to
do: Ignore it all. He keeps trying to get
my attention from his bully pulpit and by
staging photo ops with potential victims
of the sequester, but Im not going to bite.
I have my own troubles.
I am also ignoring the chattering class
Washington big thinkers who have
been reduced to hurling insults at the
politicians, like bettors at a cockght.
They are part of this tableau, too, making
a nice living as spectators.
A little pork would go a long way about
now. I am not sure why the president
hasnt handed out a few dams or bridges
or military bases to get this done, but
maybe it will still happen when he goes to
Capitol Hill to meet with the rank and le
this week. Cant hurt. And thered be jobs,
the Holy Grail of this administration.
The scal ultraconservatives are hold-
ing their ground on the sequester because
they think this crisis is the mechanism
for reducing the size of government, but
I think something quite different will
happen. Government will just be more
irrelevant to those it pretends to govern
than it is now.
We already prefer to get our daily news
from Comedy Central. Perhaps we can
get our government from some other,
more appealing, source than Sen. Mitch
McConnell, with his nasal voice and that
weak chin. I am thinking Jimmy Fallon.
He already gets along great with the rst
lady.
Natural and manmade disasters will
continue to threaten. I dont wish for my
neighbor to be furloughed by the seques-
ter, nor do I want the next snowstorm to
knock a tree onto her roof. But Im much
more worried about keeping my own
house in order (both literally and gura-
tively). In the end, though, what will be,
will be.
Likewise, I am powerless to force the
president and Congress to act. I am as
meaningless to them as they are becom-
ing to me. That they believe they are
representing me us makes me feel
like I am trapped in the Samuel Beckett
play Waiting for Godot, waiting for
something to happen. And it never does.
I want to be more like those guys on
Wall Street. Clearly, none of this both-
ers them. They are almost giddy with
optimism. The Dow will easily make
15,000 soon, they say, and will assuredly
hit 20,000.
Wall Street, like me, is ignoring the
doomsday predictions about the seques-
ter. They are also ignoring predictions
that the economy is hopelessly mired in
slow growth and will almost certainly be
for decades.
What a cheerful bunch. you have to
admire them.
In the meantime, I am going to the
Philadelphia Flower Show, the ultimate
escapist fantasy. Spring blooming indoors
while winter carries on outside.
If that isnt a metaphor for my state of
mind right now, I dont know what is.

S U S A N R E I M E R
A little pork would go a long way about
now.
quOtE OF thE DAY
I saw the new wizard
of Oz movie. I went last
Thursday, the night
before Oz the Great and
Powerful was ofcially
released, to a preview
that was open to the
public.
I got there ve minutes before it began.
There were nine people in the theater. I
spent two hours behind 3D glasses watch-
ing a $200 million spectacle.
Then I left and went home.
Dont misunderstand. It was terric.
Colorful, ambitious, visually stunning and
ultimately satisfying, at least in my view,
with good triumphing over evil and the
Land of Oz safe at last.
But what I saw on that 40-foot screen
cant compare with what I watched as a
kid on a 14-inch black-and-white TV.
The wizard of Oz is coming! we
would scream when a commercial trum-
peted the annual airing of the 1939 classic
starring Judy Garland. Thats right. an-
nual. as in: once a year. My parents would
buy special ice cream. My grandmother
would line up her rocking chair. It was an
event. a big old deal. The network (CBs
back then) actually had hosts for the
broadcast (I remember Danny Kaye warn-
ing kids not to be afraid when the MGM
lion roared) and you got the feeling all of
america was sitting down to watch the
same magical story.
For a very simple reason: You only got
one chance to see it.
Or you had to wait until next year.
This, of course, is fundamentally dif-
ferent from how we entertain ourselves
today. Today, whether its The wizard
of Oz or The Bourne Identity, you can
buy it, rent it, stream it, save it, DVR it,
download it, borrow it or steal it. who on
Earth would plan an entire week around
watching one movie on TV?
But thats exactly why there is nothing
as special as The wizard of Oz broadcast
once was. Young people reading this, try
to imagine a world without recording,
without downloads, no way to preserve
a showing, no stores selling copies, no
amount of money that could bring a movie
into your home.
Try to imagine that if you wanted to see
something, you had to clear the time to
watch it. One show only. No rewinding.
No pausing. No transferring to a portable
device to view on an airplane.
I know, kids. Horrifying!
But believe it or not, those of us alive in
the 1960s remember a world just like that.
we remember when watching Peter Pan
with Mary Martin was a big annual deal,
or Cinderella with Lesley ann warren.
Most of all, we remember Dorothy, the Tin
Man, the scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion.
we remember their shining moments and
their famous lines, even though we only
witnessed them once a year.
we remember the munchkins singing,
we represent the Lollipop Guild! and the
Cowardly Lion asking whadda they got
that I aint got? (answer: courage) and
we remember Dorothy exclaiming, Oh,
auntie Em, theres no place like home!
Today, theres no need to remember.
Just go to YouTube and search for the part
of the movie you want to see. Chances are,
youll be watching it 30 seconds later.
Instant viewing, missing magic
Consequently, there is nothing impor-
tant about when you watch something
today, unless you like to be the rst to see
everything.
Otherwise, whenever you want to see
it, you see it. You can wait until it hits
pay-per-view. wait until it hits Blu-ray and
DVD. wait until apple TV rents it to you
for $3.99 or Netix eventually shows it for
free.
Maybe this is for the best. I dont know.
Movies are art, and part of me says, why
not have great art available at your nger-
tips?
On the other hand, there was something
magical about the once-a-year viewing,
kind of like the circus coming to town, or
a musical star nally playing a concert in
your city. You made time for it. You sa-
vored it. You didnt just throw it on a pile
of things I gotta watch.
The new wizard of Oz lm dwarfs the
original in terms of special effects, color,
sets, costumes. Its in 3D!
But when it ends, theres the same feel-
ing you have with all lms today. Maybe
Ill buy it on DVD. Maybe Ill stream some
clips.
whats missing are the empty bowls of
ice cream, the rocking chair moved back to
its place, the farewell from a TV host and
the dancing dreams of children wondering
how long a year is, which is when theyll
see the Emerald City again.

SUNDAY, MARCH 17, 2013 PAGE 7D TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com F O R U M
IN CHOICE
of both topic
and foil, Rand
Pauls now leg-
endary senate
libuster was
a stroke of po-
litical genius.
The topic was, ostensibly, very
narrow: Does the president
have the constitutional author-
ity to put a drone-launched
Hellre missile through your
kitchen you, a good citizen
of Topeka to whom POTUs
might have taken a dislike
while youre cooking up a pot
roast?
The constituency of those
who could not give this
question a straight answer is
exceedingly small. Unfortu-
nately, among them is attorney
General Eric Holder. Enter the
foil. He told a senate hearing
that such an execution would
not be appropriate.
appropriate being a bureau-
cratic word meaning nothing,
Holders answer was a PR di-
saster. The correct response, of
course, is: absent an active civil
war on U.s. soil (of the kind not
seen in 150 years) or a jihadist
invasion from saskatchewan led
by the Topeka pot roaster, the
answer is no.
The hypothetical being in-
conceivable, Pauls performance
was both theatrically brilliant
and substantively irrelevant.
as for the principle at stake,
Holders opinion carries no
weight in any case. He is hardly
a great attorney general whose
words will ring through history.
Nor would anything any at-
torney general says be binding
on the next president, or for
that matter on any Congress or
court.
The vexing and pressing is-
sue is the use of drones abroad.
The libuster pretended not to
be about that. which is testimo-
ny to Pauls political adroitness.
It was not until two days later
that he showed his hand, writ-
ing in The washington Post,
No american should be killed
by a drone without rst being
charged with a crime. Note
the absence of the restrictive
clause: on american soil.
Now were talking about a
larger, more controversial issue:
the killing by drone in Yemen
of al-Qaeda operative anwar
al-awlaki. Outside american
soil, the Constitution does
not rule, no matter how much
Paul would like it to. Yet Pauls
unease applies to non-american
drone targets as well. His quar-
rel is with the very notion of
the war on terror, though he is
normally too smart to say that
openly and unequivocally. Un-
like his father, who implied that
9/11 was payback for our sins,
Paul the Younger more gingerly
expresses general skepticism
about not just the efcacy but
the legality of the entire war.
That skepticism is nding an
audience as the war grinds into
its 12th year, as our hapless
attorney general vainly tries to
dene its terms and as the ad-
ministration conducts a major
drone war with deant secrecy.
Nor is this some minor adjunct
to battle an estimated 4,700
have been killed by drone.
George w. Bush was excori-
ated for waterboarding exactly
three terrorists, all of whom are
now enjoying an extensive re-
tirement on a sunny Caribbean
island (though strolls beyond
Gitmos gates are prohibited).
whereas President Obama,
with thousands of kills to his
name, evokes little protest from
yesterdays touch-not-a-hair-on-
their-head zealots. Of whom,
of course, sen. Obama was a
leading propagandist.
such hypocrisy is the homage
Democrats pay to Republicans
when the former take ofce,
confront national security real-
ity, feel the weight of their duty
to protect the nation and
end up doing almost everything
they had denounced their pre-
decessors for doing. The beauty
of such hypocrisy, however,
is that the rotation of power
creates a natural bipartisan con-
sensus on the proper of conduct
this war.
which creates a unique op-
portunity to nally codify the
rules. The wars constitutional
charter, the 2001 authoriza-
tion for Use of Military Force
(aUMF) has proved quite
serviceable.
But the commander-in-chiefs
authority is so broad it
leaves the limits of his power to
be determined, often in secret
memos, by the administrations
own in-house lawyers that it
has spawned suspicion, fear and
now libuster.
It is time to rethink. That
means not repealing the origi-
nal aUMF but, using the les-
sons of the last 12 years, rewrit-
ing it with particular attention
to a new code governing drone
warfare and the question of
where, when and against whom
it should be permitted.
Necessity having led the
Bush and Obama administra-
tions to the use of near-identical
weapons and tactics, a national
consensus has been forged.
Lets make it open.
all we need now is a presi-
dent willing to lead and a
Congress willing to take respon-
sibility for the conduct of a war
that, however much Paul and
his acolytes may wish it away,
will long be with us.

Bad regional attitude
spoils shale potential
S
ome years ago I attended a meeting
at Penn state wilkes-Barre campus
to learn about natural gas drilling
in Pennsylvania in the area called
Marcellus shale that runs through
our Northern Tier counties, including
Luzerne County.
I came out of that lecture and ques-
tion sessions with the excitement of
a kid with a new toy. I have gone to
six other meetings but depression
has set in. I have signed a lease in the
meantime and spent over four hours
at two different times in the ofce of
a company called XTD, based in Fort
worth, Texas, to learn rst-hand about
the operation of the actual drilling and
fracking of the shale to obtain gas.
after reading the articles, letters
to the editor, talk show callers, and a
TV show on station wVIa, I cannot
believe the critics, pessimists, the
downers, not one caller or letter writer
was in support of gas drilling in this
state. Here is a chance to bring some
real worth to this state, which as you
know, along with Luzerne County, is
in desperate nancial need. what a
spirit-killing area!
Had Tom Edison, Henry Ford, and
the wright brothers done their
work in Pennsylvania, with the
attitude here we would be riding
in horse-drawn wagons, reading
by candle light or whale oil and
the only things ying would be the
pigeons in wilkes-Barres Public
square. The middle ages are alive
and well in Pennsylvania.

This time, dire cuts
didnt hurt that much
P
resident Obama vehemently told
us the sequester cuts, which he
devised in 2011, would cause ight
delays, worker furloughs, laid off
teachers, empty rehouses, tainted
meat, and unsecured borders when
they went into effect on March
1. However, as of March 7 (the
date Im writing this) nothing has
happened other than the Dept. of
Homeland security releasing 2,000
inmates citing the sequester, the
white House closing its doors to visi-
tors and the Transportation security
administration spending $50 million
on new uniforms. so by starting his
scare tactics so early and so comically,
Obama looks like the Keynesian who
cried wolf!.
But dont be fooled. The game is still
on. a recent U.s. Dept. of agriculture
internal email from Eastern Regional
Director Charles s. Brown to his
subordinates contains this statement
regarding the sequester cuts, so, it is
our opinion that however you man-
age that reduction, you need to make
sure you are not contradicting what
we said the impact would be. This
clearly denotes the UsDa is being
told to make sure maximum pain is
inicted as promised by Obama. and
that Obamas overall message to his
cohorts regarding the sequester cuts is
The worse, The Better.
Obamas obvious reason for doing
this is because he wants to make the
Republicans the villains in the seques-
tration, which will hopefully enable
his party to regain the majority in
the House of Representatives in the
2014 mid-term elections. That would
give his party majority control of the
three federal branches of our govern-
ment, which would grant Obama his
much sought after freedom to spread
the wealth during his last 2 years in
ofce, and ultimately would put our
great country on the path to becoming
another Greece. Just another blatant
example of Obama putting politics
ahead of solving our countrys prob-
lems.
Unfortunately for Obama, he has
underestimated our intelligence
level, common sense, and awareness.
It turns out the sequester cuts he
designed to be so horric are actually
pretty popular. The latest washington
Post/aBC News poll shows a 2-1 sup-
port for the spending reductions.

Time to recognize
colorectal cancer
A
re you age 50 or older? are you
under age 50 and have a personal
or family history of colon cancer/
polyps? are you having symptoms,
such as unexplained abdominal pain
or bleeding?
Colon cancer is preventable
and treatable if diagnosed in its
early stages. It affects both men and
women equally.
If you answered yes to any of the
above questions, you should not put
off scheduling a colonoscopy. age is
the single largest risk factor for colon
cancer, so even if you lead a healthy
lifestyle you can develop polyps and
cancer.
Colonoscopy is a safe, effective and
generally well tolerated examination
that can save your life.
You can nd more information on
the american society for Gastroin-
testinal Endoscopys website at www.
screen4coloncancer.org, or you can
join their Facebook page, Peter and
Polly Polyp.
Remember, colon cancer is pre-
ventable and treatable, so dont put
off scheduling your colonoscopy any
longer. Our physicians and staff will
work together to answer your ques-
tions and get you scheduled for your
colonoscopy.

145 Prayers
Oh, Holy Saint Jude,
apostle and martyr,
great in virtue and
rich in miracles,
near kinsman of
Jesus Christ, faithful
intercessor of all
who invoke your
special patronage in
time of need, to you
I have recourse
from the depths of
my heart and
humbly beg to
whom God has
given such great
power to come to
my assistance.
Help me in my pres-
ent, urgent petition
(make request). In
return, I promise to
make your name
known and cause
you to be invoked.
Say 3 Our Fathers,
3 Hail Marys, and 3
Glorias
St. Jude pray for me
and my son and all
who invoke your aid
humbly in need of
your intercession,
Amen
