SAN MATEO, Calif. In-
visalign, a San Jose company,
uses 3-D printing to make each
mouthful of customized, trans-
parent braces. Mackenzies
Chocolates, a confectioner in
Santa Cruz, uses a 3-D printer
to pump out chocolate molds.
And earlier this year, Cornell
University researchers used a
3-D printer, along with injec-
tions of a special collagen gel,
to create a human-shaped ear.
Once a science-ction fan-
tasy, three-dimensional print-
ers are popping up everywhere
from the desks of home hobby-
ists to Air Force drone research
centers. The machines, general-
ly the size of a microwave oven
and costing $400 to more than
$500,000, extrude layer upon
layer of plastics or other mate-
rials, including metal, to create
3-D objects with moving parts.
Users are able to make just
about anything they like: iPad
stands, guitars, jewelry, even
guns. But experts warn this
cool innovation could soon
turn controversial because
of safety concerns but also the
potential for the technology to
alter economies that rely on
manufacturing.
We believe that 3-D printing
is fundamentally changing the
manufacturing ecosystem in its
entirety howand where prod-
ucts are made and by whom,
said Peter Weijmarshausen,
CEO of New York-based Shape-
ways, an online company that
makes and sells 3-D printed
products designed by individu-
als. Products include a delicate,
twig-like egg cup (cost: $8.10)
and a lamp that looks like a
nuclear mushroom cloud (cost:
$1,388.66).
Were on the verge of the
next industrial revolution, no
doubt about it, added Dart-
mouth College business pro-
fessor Richard DAveni. In 25
years, entire industries are go-
ing to disappear.
On ground, sea or air, when
parts break, new ones can be
made on the spot, and even
the tools to install them can
be made, eliminating the need
for staging parts in warehouses
around the world, said Jeff De-
Grange, vice president of Direct
Digital Manufacturing at Strata-
sys Inc., currently the industry
leader in a eld of about 50 3-D
printer companies.
Were going to see innova-
tion happening at a much high-
er rate, introduction of products
at a much higher rate, said De-
Grange. We live in an on-de-
mand world now, and well see
production schedules are going
to be greatly compressed.
Airplane mechanics could
print a replacement part on the
runway. A dishwasher repair-
man could make a new gasket
in his service truck. A surgeon
could print a knee implant cus-
tom-designed to t a patients
body.
But the military, DAveni said,
is likely to be among the rst
major users of 3-D printers, be-
cause of the urgency of warfare.
Imagine a soldier on a re-
base in the mountains of Af-
ghanistan. A squad is attacked
by insurgents. The ammunition
starts to run out. Is it worth
waiting hours and risking the
lives of helicopter pilots to drop
it near you, or is it worth a more
expensive system that can man-
ufacture weapons and ammuni-
tion on the spot? he said.
In the past two years, the U.S.
Defense Department has spent
more than $2 million on 3-D
printers, supplies and upkeep,
according to federal contract
records. Their uses range from
medical research to weapons
development. In addition, the
Obama administration has
launched a $30 million pilot
program that includes research-
ing how to use 3-D printing to
build weapons parts.
NASA is also wading into this
arena, spending $500,000 in the
past two years on 3-D printing.
Its Lunar Science Institute has
published descriptions of how
it is exploring the possibility of
using the printers to build ev-
erything from spacecraft parts
while in orbit to a lunar base.
While the U.S. is pursuing
the military advantages of 3-D
printing, its also dealing with
the potential dangers of the
technology.
On May 9, the State Depart-
ment ordered a group to take
down online blueprints for a
3-D printable handgun, and fed-
eral lawmakers and some state
legislatures are contemplating
proposals to restrict future post-
ing of weapons plans.
Since 2007, when these
printers rst entered the main-
stream marketplace, sales have
grown by 7.2 percent each
year, according to IBIS World,
a company that tracks the in-
dustry.
Sales are projected to jump
from about $1.7 billion in 2011
to $3.7 billion in 2015.

Why dont Nuns on Bus
stand up for the unborn?
S
r. Simone Campbells actions, many
times, have been at odds with the hierar-
chy of the Church, especially regarding the
Affordable Care Act. Networks deance
along with the Catholic Health Asso-
ciation prompted this response from
Madison, Wis., Bishop Robert C. Morlino:
The Lord Jesus Christ, unworthy though
the Bishops are, called the Bishops to lead
the people in faith; He did not call any-
body in the Catholic Health Association
and he did not call any of the Sisters in
Network. The Bishops objected to the Af-
fordable Care Act because of abortion and
conscience aws.
A recent Vatican report stated that some
organizations led by nuns have focused
too much on social justice issues while
failing to promote the churchs teachings
against abortion and same-sex marriage.
Speaking in North Carolina, Sister Simone
had revealed that she is uncomfortable de-
scribing herself as pro-life because of my
pride. Why is it so hard for Sister Simone
to simply say, I am pro-life?
I would like to ask the Nuns on the Bus
how many times they have stood in front
of Planned Parenthood Abortion clin-
ics praying? How many times have they
attended the March In Washington or
attended pro-life prayer breakfasts? Why
arent the Brides of Christ willing to stand
up for the unborn and for traditional mar-
riage?

A wreck-less checklist
to keep teen drivers safe
F
or young drivers, the break from school
means more time for fun, friends, driv-
ing, and unfortunately, driving distrac-
tions such as texting, eating and apply-
ing makeup. In fact, crashes and related
injuries/fatalities involving teen drivers
and passengers are most likely to occur
between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
According to the National Highway
Trafc Safety Administration, 11 percent of
drivers ages 1519 who were involved in
a fatal crash were reportedly distracted at
the time of the crash. And, as referenced
on justdrivepa.org, in 2010 there were
13,846 crashes in Pennsylvania where
distracted driving played a role.
Thats why the Decide to Drive cam-
paign, sponsored by the American Acad-
emy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and
the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers
(Auto Alliance), developed a Wreck-Less
Checklist that includes the following tips:
Before starting your car:
Set your phone aside; put on sunglasses
and other accessories; fasten your safety
belt; move reading material out of reach;
pre-load CDs or mp3 playlists and adjust
radio volume level; enter an address in the
navigation system, or review directions.
Do not eat or drink, apply makeup,
polish your nails or change clothing while
driving. We want teens and parents to
know that no text or distraction is worth
the life of you or someone you love. This
summer, decide to drive.

Corbett should know better than to underfund Top Cop
EARLIER THIS year Gov. Tom Corbett
unveiled his state budget proposal for the
2013-2014 scal year. Unfortunately, his
proposal woefully underfunds the Pennsyl-
vania Ofce of Attorney General. As for-
mer Attorney General, Corbett should be
very familiar with the important role that
the ofce plays in protecting the people of
Pennsylvania. However, since becoming
governor he has done little to reect his
understanding and support for Pennsylva-
nias Top Cop.
Now, if you read the governors budget
proposal or his press releases you would
be lead to believe that the Ofce of At-
torney General is not being cut, but rather
will be at funded at the same level as last
year. These are misleading statements at
best.
Since becoming governor, Corbett has
cut state funding to his former post by
more than $5 million. Not only has he
exacted these harmful cuts, he also negoti-
ated and signed new contracts raising the
salaries for union employees within the
AG ofce, which increased overall per-
sonnel costs, without giving the AG the
additional funds necessary to offset those
increases. Furthermore, it was recently
announced that the AGs federal funding
will be cut by an additional $5 million. I
recognize that Corbett cant stop federal
funding cuts, but he can certainly propose
to replace those cuts with additional state
dollars.
The Commonwealth has had several
tough budgets in a row, but the last thing
we should be jeopardizing is the inves-
tigation and prosecution of criminals.
Unfortunately, funding cuts and increased
personnel costs have that exact effect
because they hamper the attorney gen-
erals ability to properly investigate and
prosecute criminal activity. I know this
because Pennsylvanias attorney general
gave testimony before the House Appro-
priations Committee to that effect. Im not
talking Attorney General Kathleen Kane, I
am talking about the testimony of former
Attorney General Tom Corbett.
At a 2010 House Budget Hearing
then-Attorney General Corbett made an
impassioned plea for increasing the Ofce
of Attorney Generals budget, stating that
we [referring to the OAG] cant get much
thinner and we are really stretched
at this time. Due to increases in union
contracts, Corbett claimed that the AGs
ofce was going to lose good attorneys
if it did not receive an increase. He further
asserted that if the ofce was at funded,
he would lose 21 positions across the
agency. These losses included agents in
the child predator unit, drug law enforce-
ment unit, drug strike task force and the
rearm task force. In the years since Cor-
betts impassioned plea for funding, he has
been responsible, as governor, for millions
of dollars of additional cuts far beyond
what he received when he was AG. His
cuts and rising personnel costs, for which
he is also responsible, have put his former
agency in a position where anything but
a substantial increase in funding poses a
threat to the publics safety.
It is important to note that when then-
Attorney General Corbett was arguing that
the agency needed more money to do its
job properly, the AGs ofce was receiving
$86.5 million in state funding. He testied
that if the Ofce of Attorney Generals
budget was reduced by ve percent ($82
million) the agency would be a shell.
Three years later Corbett is asking Attor-
ney General Kane to run the same ofce
with just $78 million in state funds, $5 mil-
lion less in federal funds and substantially
higher personnel costs.
Corbetts budget proposal generally calls
for increases to law enforcement agen-
cies. For instance, the State Police stand
to receive an $8.8 million increase in state
funds and the Department of Corrections
would receive a $60.5 million increase.
The governor is apparently willing to
spend more money on criminals already
in prison, but keeps cutting the funding
of the agency that gets those criminals off
the street. With recent state and national
tragedies involving child sexual abuse, gun
violence, drug trafcking and large scale
fraud against consumers, Pennsylvania
can ill afford more cuts to the very agency
responsible for putting these criminals
behind bars.
As former Attorney General one would
think that Corbett would know better than
to play politics with funding for criminal
investigations and prosecutions. Well, one
would think.

Expand bailout for Africa
T
HE AFRICAN Union
summit in Ethiopia
had something to
cheer for. Brazil, the
worlds seventh largest econo-
my, surprised all by announcing
it would write off the entire debt
of the African continent to the
tune of $900 million.
This is genuine
leadership and state-
of-art diplomacy, to
say the least.
The decision an-
nounced by Brazils
President Dilma
Rousseff will benet
around 12 trading
nations of Africa,
including Congo,
Tanzania, Zambia,
Ivory Coast, Gabon,
Guinea, Guinea Bis-
sau, Mauritania,
Senegal and Sudan.
These poor African
countries, which sit
on the treasures of
minerals but are un-
able to exploit them
fully because of poor
infrastructure and political in-
stability, could hope for a shot
in the arm as their outstanding
debts are cancelled or restruc-
tured.
Brazils move, nonetheless,
has come at an opportune time
when the continents league, the
African Union, is celebrating its
50th anniversary. African lead-
ers as well as world nancial
pundits strongly believe that
the continent has come a long
way in resurrecting its image
as a developing icon, and made
great strides in undoing poverty
and freeing itself from deadly
diseases to a great
extent. The success
against AIDS, with
the help of West-
ern countries and
especially the UNs
World Health Orga-
nization, is a case in
point.
Brasilias prec-
edent should be
emulated by other
rich nations in the
West. It is worth
recalling that the
International Mon-
etary Fund and the
World Bank were
asked at the height
of monetary crisis
in Africa and Asia to
write off bad debts,
and rejuvenate the
respective economies with fresh
loans. But that prescription fell
on deaf ears. The outcome was
another vicious circle of abject
poverty and stagnation. Bailing
out Africa from its non-perform-
ing loans could be the way to
begin with.
The Khaleej Times, Dubai
Arming the Syrian rebels
wont end the bloodshed
U
NDER PRESSURE
from London and Par-
is, the European Union
agreed on Monday
night to lift its embargo on arm-
ing the Syrian rebels, despite
the opposition of many member
states, notably Germany, Swe-
den, the Netherlands and Aus-
tria. William Hague, the Foreign
Secretary, hailed the summit as
a diplomatic triumph.
In reality, the 14 hours of
fractious discussions conrmed
what we have known since the
Balkan conict 20 years ago:
that securing an agreed EU for-
eign policy is a fruitless exercise
given the various national inter-
ests that need to be taken into
account.
For historians of the Middle
East, the efforts of the United
Kingdom and France to strike
a common foreign policy posi-
tion on the conict in Syria have
a powerful resonance. In 1916,
the secret Sykes-Picot Agree-
ment dened the spheres of in-
uence of the two colonial pow-
ers for the period after the First
World War.
The wider danger posed by
the Syrian civil war is its capac-
ity to suck other countries into
its vortex. The involvement
of Russia, Turkey, Iran and
Israel made for a highly dan-
gerous cocktail, even without
the prospect of Western arms
shipments. Furthermore, the
conict is proving a magnet for
jihadists including more than
100 estimated to have arrived
from the UK who will return
to cause trouble at home, if they
survive.

A safer future for hockey
T
HE WILLFUL blind-
ness in hockey at all
levels toward concus-
sions has diminished.
Hockey Canada, the governing
body for minor hockey, has fol-
lowed the lead of USA Hockey
in barring bodychecking below
age 13, down from 11.
What happened to hockeys
greatest star, Sidney Crosby,
a year lost to a head injury in
which the games (and his own)
willful blindness almost certain-
ly put himat severe risk, opened
the eyes of hockey people every-
where.
This countrys children have
been facing similar risks at early
ages, and Hockey Canada had to
confront a powerful strain in the
countrys psyche to make the
rule change; the attachment to
bodychecking from an early age
is part of what makes Canadian
hockey what it is.
Many Canadian hockey par-
ents and coaches have argued
for years that bodychecking at
early ages is necessary to ensure
that players can do it safely at
older ages.
True or not (Hockey Canada
says it couldnt nd evidence
for it), there may be a safer way
to teach hitting than to make
younger players pay the price
for it in head injuries. When
USA Hockey changed its rules
for the 2011-12 season, it also
created bodychecking-educa-
tion programs that will be man-
datory for all coaches, including
those teaching players in the
pre-checking ages.
Change has been a constant in
Canadas game, and the change
in the bodychecking age sends
the clearest message yet to
coaches and parents that player
safety is paramount in the game.

Brasilias precedent
should be emulated by
other rich nations in
the West. It is worth
recalling that the In-
ternational Monetary
Fund and the World
Bank were asked at
the height of monetary
crisis in Africa and
Asia to write off bad
debts, and rejuvenate
the respective econo-
mies with fresh loans.
then-6-year-old Tim Samaras,
his brother said not for the
magical Emerald City, but by
what took Dorothy there, the
storm.
He didnt give a crap about
Toto, he didnt give a crap
about the munchkins, Jim
Samaras said.
The Storm Prediction Cen-
ter issued a statement Sun-
day, saying it was terribly sad-
dened by TimSamaras death.
Samaras was a respected
tornado researcher and friend
who brought to the eld a
unique portfolio of expertise
in engineering, science, writ-
ing and videography, the cen-
ters statement said.
Tim Samaras had appeared
on the Discovery Channels
Storm Chasers show until
last year and also contributed
to the National Geographic
Society.
We are deeply saddened by
the loss of Tim Samaras, his
son, Paul, and their colleague
Carl Young. Our thoughts
and prayers go out to their
families, Discovery Channel
spokeswoman Laurie Gold-
berg said.
The channel planned to
dedicate a show Sunday night
to the three men, capping the
broadcast with a tribute that
will read: In memory of Tim
Samaras, Carl Young and Paul
Samaras who died Friday,
May 31st doing what they
love, chasing storms.
Jim Samaras said his broth-
er, nephewandtheir colleague
were dedicated to avoiding
trouble while chasing storms,
and that the family wasnt
worried about whether he
was taking care of himself.
I dont know if I would say
I worried about it because
one of the biggest things he
stressed was safety. He knew
what to look for. He knew
where not to be and in this
case the tornado took a clear
turn toward them, he said.
Video taken by a number of
storm chasers showed debris
pelting vehicles Friday. Winds
swept one vehicle with a crew
from The Weather Channel
off the road, tossed it 200
yards and ipped it into a eld
they escaped major injury.
Jim Cantore, a Weather
Channel meteorologist,
tweeted Sunday that meteo-
rologists were in mourning.
This is a very sad day for
the meteorological commu-
nity and the families of our
friends lost. Tim Samaras was
a pioneer and great man, he
wrote.
In Canadian County, Okla.,
where the men died, Under-
sheriff Chris West noted the
three were hoping to help un-
derstand violent storms.
They put themselves in
harms way so that they can
educate the public about the
destructive power of these
storms, he said.
The men worked as a team
and Tim Samaras had re-
ceived 18 grants from the Na-
tional Geographic Society for
work in the eld.
Tim was a courageous
and brilliant scientist who
fearlessly pursued tornadoes
and lightning in the eld
in an effort to better under-
stand these phenomena, the
society said on its website.
Though we sometimes take
it for granted, Tims death is
a stark reminder of the risks
encountered regularly by the
men and women who work
for us.
The Storm Prediction Cen-
ter said scientic storm chas-
ing is performed as safely
as possible, with trained re-
searchers using appropriate
technology. It encouraged all,
including the media and ama-
teurs, to chase safely to avoid
a repeat of Fridays deaths.

able Shale effort terribly silly
and a distraction from efforts
to examine health and environ-
mental impacts from fracking,
but said she recognizes that
the Endowments, like other
large organizations, contains
people with different views.
She said her group kind of
have to live with the situation.
Others note that some criti-
cism of the Sustainable Shale
project uses a selective brush,
attacking the energy compa-
nies and certain environmental
groups for working with them
but not the Heinz Endowments.
When some environmental
groups issued an open letter
criticizing the Sustainable
Shale Center in late May, a
pro-drilling website noticed
the omission.
We doubt theyll send a nas-
ty-gram to the Heinz Endow-
ments because Heinz funds the
very kinds of groups that criti-
cize drilling, noted the Marcel-
lus Drilling News, an online
publication for landowners
who support drilling.
Fracking, which involves
injecting large volumes of
water with sand and hazard-
ous chemicals underground
to break apart rock, has made
it possible to tap into deep re-
serves of oil and gas, but also
has raised concerns about air
and water pollution.
Until Heinz went public with
the sustainable shale effort this
year, the situation seemed far
more clear-cut. The Endow-
ments has given out more than
$10 million in gas drilling-
related grants over the past
three years. Many of the grant
recipients have criticized the
industry.
One scientist who has been
in the crossre over fracking
praised the Heinz Endow-
ments approach.
I kind of admire Heinz for
funding different things, said
Rob Jackson, and environmen-
tal professor at Duke Univer-
sity. Why should a foundation
be any different than a compa-
ny in hedging its bets?
Jackson and his colleagues
at Duke have done studies on
potential water contamination
related to the recent gas drill-
ing boom. The ones that found
evidence of contamination
have been loudly praised by en-
vironmentalists and criticized
by industry. The Duke studies
that dont nd evidence of con-
tamination provoke the oppo-
site reaction.
One expert on foundations
said the Heinz approach is
somewhat unusual.
Its not unheard of, but it is
more common for a foundation
to come down clearly on one
side, said Aaron Dorfman, the
executive director of the Na-
tional Committee for Respon-
sive Philanthropy, a research
and advocacy organization
based in Washington, D.C.
Dorfman said that the Heinz
Endowments approach of
funding multiple paths is
just its way of trying to nd a
sustainable way to deal with a
challenging issue.
Root said the Heinz Endow-
ments doesnt want to con-
strict the exchange of varying
points of view among grantees
in testing solutions to serious
problems.

ers being the Middle and South-
ern.
Successive waves of Euro-
pean immigrants rst from
Western Europe and later from
Eastern and Southern Europe
poured into the anthracite
region through the 1800s. The
more-recent Italians, many of
them Sicilian, made up a large
percentage of mine workers by
the turn of the 20th century.
It was a time, said Wolensky,
when young boys were put into
the mines to learn lesser tasks,
while their elders did the even-
more-dangerous work of blast-
ing and chopping to ll rail
cars with what was often called
black gold.
With the formation of the new
union, the United Mine Workers
of America, workers began to
press for higher wages, and the
rst decade of the 20th century
saw a series of strikes that drew
national attention, anthracite
being a vital fuel. President
Theodore Roosevelt involved
himself, as did Bishop Linus
Hoban of the Diocese of Scran-
ton and local priest Msgr. John
J. Curran. A papal encyclical,
Rerum Novarum, put the Ro-
man Catholic Church on record
supporting labor rights, and
UMWA President John Mitchell
became a revered man among
mining families.
Yet there seemed to be little
progress overall, said Wolensky.
A sticking point in worker-own-
er relations, he said, was mine
owners subcontracting al-
lowing other companies to run
their mines, while absolving
themselves from any blame for
conditions. In 1907 the leftist
labor group International Work-
ers of the World involved itself,
but to little avail. Even the gov-
ernment of Italy sent an envoy
to negotiate. Then from sub-
contracting, mine owners pro-
gressed to leasing their mines
to outside operators, distancing
themselves still more from the
workers plight.
In time, the mine workers
grew frustrated. Violence in the
Northern Coal Field reached a
peak in the 1920s, with murders
and assassinations occurring as
mine owners remained intransi-
gent and labor factions jockeyed
for position. That decade also
saw a series of long strikes.
A new union, United An-
thracite Miners of Pennsyl-
vania, arose in the 1930s and
siphoned off about half of the
UMWA membership. Pittston,
said Wolensky, was nicknamed
Little Chicago, while Railroad
Street was known as Machine
Gun Alley. An outbreak of mail
bombs as late as 1936, the so-
called Good Friday Bombings,
was an outgrowth of disputes
between two unions, he said.
Despite the blood and anger
and internal warfare of that era,
said Wolensky, the tale of the
Sicilian sulfur miners battling
ovewhelming forces is an inspir-
ing one.
I think its a story thats im-
portant to tell. Its amazing that
they took on Goliath.
The book is available at
Barnes & Noble, the Lackawa-
nna Historical Society and the
Anthracite Heritage Museum,
Scranton.

With the lease option out of
the picture last year, the city
turned to other means to raise
revenues.
In his 2013 budget, Mayor
Tom Leighton included an in-
crease in the hourly meter rate
to $1 from 75 cents and hiked
the ticket fee to $20 from $10.
As of May 31 the parking
meter revenue was $159,897,
up $6,537 from the same date
last year. Revenue from parking
violations more than doubled
to $70,405 as of the end of last
month compared to $30,790 for
the same period last year.
But the StreetSmart study
showed revenues increased
through effective enforce-
ment without charging more
to park or by raising the ticket
fee.
The turnover rate at the
meters increased bringing in
more money and people to the
downtown, said Rick Goodwin,
executive vice president of sales
and marketing for St. Louis,
Mo. -based Fybr, the rebranded
name of StreetSmart.
At the timethe technology
involved sensors placed in the
pavement that were connected
by wire to radio transmitters.
The equipment detected when
the spot was occupied or empty.
It also detected when the meter
expired, needed to be emptied
or xed.
The company has since up-
graded the technology that
performs the same functions,
Goodwin said.
According to the study, the
daily meter revenue for those in
the program started at $69.41
and rose to as high as $150.65
in October 2011. It decreased
to $133.14 in November and
$113.91 in December. The rates
dropped due to the enforce-
ment policy from Thanksgiving
to Christmas. The city allowed
half-day free parking downtown
during the holiday shopping
season, but stopped the prac-
tice last year.
Tickets issued per space daily
started at 1.2, rose to 2.2 in Oc-
tober and dropped to 2.0 in No-
vember and 1.8 in December.
Turnover per space began
with a baseline of 6.58, jumped
to 10.92 in October, 11.20 in No-
vember and 11.21 in December.
Violations also followed an
upward trend, starting with
4,143, rising to 5,677 in Octo-
ber, 5,972 in November and
6,458 in December.
I think we won over the mer-
chants, Goodwin said.
The city also was pleased
with the results of the study, he
said.

Wright Township, organized an

ghters from Monroe County,
Stroudsburg and Lock Haven to

CHICAGO Bryan Bickell and
Michal Handzus scored on con-
secutive shots in the second pe-
riod, and the Chi-
cago Blackhawks
chased goalie
Jonathan Quick
on their way to a
4-2 victory over
the Los Angeles
Kings on Sunday
night in Game 2
of the Western
Conference nal.
A n d r e w
Shaw and Brent
Seabrook also
scored as the roll-
ing Blackhawks
grabbed a 2-0 lead
in the best-of-
seven series with
their fth consec-
utive victory. Patrick Sharp added
two assists, and Corey Crawford
made 29 saves in another solid
performance.
Game 3 is Tuesday night at Los
Angeles, where the Kings have
won 14 consecutive games, dating
to the regular season. The Kings
also lost their rst two games of
the playoffs at St. Louis before win-
ning four straight.
Jeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli
scored for Los Angeles, but the
Kings struggled to score while
playing without Mike Richards,
who was scratched because of an
undisclosed upper body injury.
The defending Stanley Cup cham-
pions have 29 goals in 15 postsea-
son games.
Richards, who leads the team
with 10 playoff points, was side-
lined after taking a big hit from
Dave Bolland in the nal minutes
of the Blackhawks 2-1 victory on
Saturday.
Kings coach Darryl Sutter said
Richards was ne a couple of
hours before the game, but the cen-
ter was scratched from the lineup.
Los Angeles forward Brad Rich-
ardson and defenseman Drew
Doughty gingerly skated off at sep-
arate points of the rst period, but
both returned to the ice.
The series took on a more physi-
cal tone in the second game in two
days a rarity brought on by The
Rolling Stones tour.
The top-seeded Blackhawks
also won the series opener in each
of the rst two rounds, but they
dropped three in a row following
their Game 1 victory against De-
troit in the conference seminals.

No question.
Oh yeah,

said. First-
pitch fast-
ball. I was
sitting on it.
It was high,
chest- high.
Just got out a little early on it.
For the briefest of mo-
ments, it looked like Lashock
had managed to extend the in-
augural Field of Dreams Game
at PNC Field even longer. But
the Berwick standouts pow-
erful shot landed foul, just
short of the wall in left.
The WVC squad had al-
ready rallied once on Sunday,
but the second attempt nar-
rowly missed the mark as the
Lackawanna League held on
for an 8-6 win in eight innings.
A few dozen of the top se-
niors in District 2 got to end
their careers in style, playing
in front of friends and fam-
ily at the newly refurbished
stadium in Moosic. And the
players didnt disappoint as
the WVC All-Stars scored
ve runs in the bottom of the
sixth to tie the game up at 6-6.
Valley Views Liam Callejas
came through with an RBI
single in the top of the eighth
and later scored on a balk to
give Lackawanna the victory.
But the WVC had life in the
home half thanks to a lead-
off walk by Hanover Areas
Mickey Ferrence. After a pair
of groundouts, Lashock came
up and came close to sending
the game into a ninth inning
at the least.
I hit it, but I saw it curve
right away, said Lashock,

MIAMI As the nal horn in
a Game 6 loss to the Indiana Pac-
ers was sounding, LeBron James
walked toward several of his Miami
Heat teammates to shake some
hands and share a couple of quick
words.
His message was clear: Get ready
for Game 7.
Here comes the ultimate game.
To the winner, a trip to the NBA
Finals. To the loser, an offseason
loaded with regret. Its that simple
now for the champion Heat and
the condent Pacers, who meet in
Game 7 of the Eastern Conference
nals Monday night in Miami a
perk the Heat earned by nishing
with the leagues best record this
season.
Each and every year there are
30 teams that would love to be a
part of this, to have one game to
advance to the NBA Finals, James
said. And theres two teams thats
in this position. And its something
that you cant substitute, this feel-
ing. You cant substitute the atmo-
sphere that were going to be in on
Monday night for both teams. We
should all cherish this moment.
When its over Monday, only one
club will be cherishing the out-
come.
DOVER, Del. Tony Stew-
art made a late outside pass on
Juan Pablo Montoya and held
on Sunday at Dover Internation-
al Speedway to snap a 30-race
winless streak.
Stewart hadnt even had a
top-ve nish this season and
was stuck in 20th in the points
standings. He took the lead with
the pass with three laps left in
the 400-mile race.
Stewart hadnt won on the
concrete mile track since he
swept both Cup races in 2000.
Our guys at our shop have
been digging, Stewart said.
None of these guys get down.
We have been down but they
havent gotten down. That is
what carries you to days like to-
day at the end of the day.
Seven-time Dover winner
Jimmie Johnson appeared to
have the car to beat, but jumped
a restart and had to serve a pass-
through penalty. Johnson ar-
gued over the radio and stayed
on the track before he nally hit
pit road.
With Johnson out of the pic-
ture, Montoya and Stewart bat-
tled for the lead the rest of the
race.
Jeff Gordon was third, fol-
lowed by Kyle Busch and Brad
Keselowski. NASCAR said Kes-
elowski failed post-race inspec-
tion because the entire front of
his No. 2 Ford was too low.
Stewarts team erupted in
celebration in the pits after win-
ning for the rst time since last
July in Daytona. It was his 48th
career win. He hadnt nished
better than 20th in his last four
races at Dover.

Athletic directors at the Big

A week off before the start of
the district playoffs. Five days
between the seminals and
championship. Its been another
week since winning the district
title.
Fortunately for Wyoming Val-
ley West, the team is getting
used to this.
The Spartans last played on
Memorial Day, breaking a tie
with two outs in the bottom of
the seventh to win the champi-
onship. Thats plenty of time to
dwell on the opening round of
the PIAA Class 4A tournament.
Spartans coach John Milius is
happy with his teams mindset
headed into todays 4:30 p.m.
game at Pittston Area Primary
Center.
Youve just gotta keep em
focused, Milius said. You try
and keep themthinking baseball
and keep it light. Just a relaxed
atmosphere. You let em have
fun one day and another day you
work hard and then lighten it up
at the end of practice.
Youre not going to change
anything theyre doing already.
Its the end of the season. Its
about muscle memory and get-
ting everything down, not about
changing things around.
Todays opponent is District 3
runner-up Exeter. That would be
Exeter Township in Berks Coun-
ty, a school that has played in
the state tournament before but
had never reached the District 3
title game until last Thursday.
Scoreless in the bottom of
the sixth, the Eagles bobbled a
grounder with two outs, allow-
ing the games only run to score
in a 1-0 loss to Lower Dauphin.
A tough way to lose any
game, much less the district -
nals. Even still, the Eagles (17-
8) are ying high in their rst
appearance in states since 2007.
Thats because they entered the
district tournament as the No.
15 seed in a 16-team bracket.
Exeter managed to upset No.
2 Red Land before knocking off
a pair of fellow low seeds in No.
10 Chambersburg and No. 14
Dallastown to clinch a spot in
states. District 3 sends three
teams to the PIAA bracket in
Class 4A.
The Eagles resiliency means
the Spartans wont be taking
them lightly. Exeter nished
rst in the Berks Leagues top
division in the regular season
but lost in the quarternals of
the conference playoffs, hurt-
ing their seeding for the district
bracket.
Leadoff man Derian Sarlat is
north of .400 hitting on the sea-
son for the Eagles. Ben Bortz,
who started on the mound
for Exeter in that district title
game, is at .351 with 21 RBI.
Those two have done a good job
setting the table for Alex Dun-
dore, who leads the team with
25 RBI while hitting just shy of
.400. All three are seniors.
Joe Richie and Bortz are
the top candidates take to the
mound today. Valley West will
decide between Dan Flaherty,
who started and won the district
seminal against Wallenpaupa-
ck, or Chris Nixon, who threw
a two-hitter against Scranton in
the nals.
But for the Spartans, who had
to replace their top two pitchers
from last year, its a nice prob-
lem to have.
Oh, absolutely, Milius said.
After losing two quality pitch-
ers last year and the way we
started off (the season), theyve
really come around.
I love being in that position
to pick one, and then (coming
off) a short week, if he gets in
trouble, you can pull him and
have another guy ready.
Valley West is making its
fourth PIAA appearance in eight
seasons under Milius. The Spar-
tans are 2-3 in the state tourna-
ment during that stretch.
They lost a rst-round heart-
breaker to Cumberland Valley
in 2007. When they returned to
states in 2009, they beat Central
Dauphin before bowing out to
Parkland in the quarternals.
Last season they topped Penn
Manor in the opening round and
lost to Hatboro-Horsham in the
second.
Seven of the 10 players who
started for Valley West in that
last state tournament game will
suit up for the Spartans today.
Veterans like Joe Pechulis and
Colin Harrison have swung the
bat well in the rst two postsea-
son games.
First-year starters like Jeremy
Sabecky and Chris McCue are
also off to good starts at the
plate. Freshman Ryan Hogan
stole the show last week, hitting
a two-out RBI double in the bot-
tom of the seventh to win dis-
trict gold for the Spartans.
You just hope you put the
ball in play and dont make
mental mistakes, Milius said.
Youre gonna have errors, but
the mental errors youve gotta
stay away from.
an RBI single in his previous at-
bat. I was like, Mmm I wish
I could have that pitch back.
Pittston Areas Paul Zaffuto,
who coached the WVC squad,
had a good look at it from his
spot along the the third-base
line.
Ferrence was on third and I
just told him, Thats all right,
buddy. Dont sweat it. Because
were going long right here.
The ball didnt even leave the
bat and I go, Here it comes!
Just missed that one.
It was an entertaining start
for the event, which pitted ros-
ters of 20 seniors from each
league against each other.
Three Wyoming Valley West
players Nick Hogan, Mike
Leonard and Joe Pechulis
were in the dugout for the game
but were ineligible to play be-
cause the Spartans season is
still alive as they open the PIAA
tournament today.
Wyoming Areas Trent Grove,
Tunkhannocks Jeremy Lee and
Crestwoods Drew Munisteri
were selected to ll their spots
on the roster. All 20 WVC play-
ers got in the game and 18 had a
plate appearance.
Boy, what fun. What fun,
Zaffuto said. I had fun from the
time I showed up today. Throw-
ing batting practice inside this
facility, just throwing to some
guys that are really ripping the
ball.
We had 20 guys on the team,
and all 20 were players. I asked
them before the game that no
matter what happens, they just
hustle and give me everything
that they got. Stay in the game
and stay positive. And they did
it.
Held to just two hits through
ve innings, the WVCtrailed 6-1
headed into in the bottomof the
sixth. The lone run came on an
error in the fourth that scored
Dallas Greg Petorak.
Wyoming Areas Bart Chupka
added on in the sixth with a
single that drove in Warriors
teammate Jake Granteed. A Fer-
rence groundout brought home
Grove.
With two outs, Lackawanna
couldnt handle a grounder by
Berwicks Will Morales, allow-
ing Tunkhannocks Ty Weiss to
score. Chupka also scored on
the play when the initial throw
to the plate was off the mark.
Lashocks hit then scored Mo-
rales to knot it up at 6-6.
This is great, Lashock said.
I dreamed about playing here
since I was a little kid. Now I
got to actually do it. It was a
great atmosphere and Im really
proud of my team. Just had a
great time.
Players and coaches alike are
hopeful the game can continue.
WVC seniors went several
years without a local all-star
game to play in the last decade.
Two years ago, coaches at Ha-
nover Area helped resurrect the
tradition in the form of an All-
WVC senior game that donated
proceeds to charity.
Now the entire district has
something to build on with the
Field of Dreams Game.
Oh, I hope it keeps going,
Zaffuto said. Even if Im not
coaching, I would love to see my
players play in it.

At rst look, Hazleton Areas
opponent in todays PIAA Class
4A softball game might not ap-
pear too worrisome. After all,
Daniel Boone entered the Dis-
trict 3 tournament as the 11th
seed and got a couple breaks
along the way.
But one thing is for certain.
The District 2 champion Cou-
gars (21-1) arent taking D3
runner-up Daniel Boone (19-
7) lightly as the teams meet at
4:30 p.m. today at Wilkes Uni-
versity.
They are very good, Ha-
zleton Area coach Vince Triv-
elpiece said. Plus, District
3 is a very good district. All
the games from here on in,
theres not going to be any easy
games.
Daniel Boone knows that
based on its D3 playoff run.
The Blazers opened with a 3-2
victory over No. 6 Chambers-
burg. They followed with a 4-2
win over 14th-seeded Warwick.
They were no-hit through ve
innings against second-seeded
Hempeld, but took advantage
of four errors to pull off a 3-1
upset.
The Blazers run to their rst
district title since 2010 ended
with a 6-3 loss to fourth-seeded
Central Dauphin. Central Dau-
phin scored ve runs in the sec-
ond inning.
Sophomore lefty Bekah Slat-
tery will likely get the start for
Daniel Boone. Hazleton Area
has seen only a couple left-
handed throwers this season,
but that shouldnt be a big fac-
tor.
I dont think thats signi-
cant in softball, Trivelpiece
said. Its not like baseball
where you have the curveball
and righty-lefty matchups. Soft-
ball is drop, rise and change.
We have all right-handed hit-
ters in our lineup.
And they can all hit. Seven
girls hit .302 or better during
the Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence season. The Cougars had
seven hits in a 1-0 D2-4 Class
4A title game victory over Wil-
liamsport and standout pitcher
Alexis Bower.
I think we beat the best
pitcher that was left, at least
of what Ive seen, Trivelpiece
said.
Hazleton Area will start
Becky Demko, one of the
WVCs best.
She is coming off a four-hitter
against light-hitting Williams-
port where she struck out nine.
She also drove in the winning
run in the seventh on a sacrice
y. Maria Trivelpiece had three
hits.
The winner advances to the
quarternals on Thursday,
playing the winner of todays
game between District 12
champion St. Huberts and Dis-
trict 1 runner-up Neshaminy.
The Holy Redeemer softball
team has accomplished more
this season than in its previous
ve combined. The Royals n-
ished the Wyoming Valley Con-
ference season unbeaten after
never having a winning record.
They won their rst divisional
title. And then last Thursday,
they won their rst District 2
championship.
So why stop now, even if the
next opponent is quite formi-
dable? Thats the attitude the
Royals (16-0) are taking as they
play District 4 champion War-
rior Run (20-3) at 2:30 p.m. to-
day at Wilkes University in the
rst round of the PIAA Class
2A state playoffs.
The game was originally
scheduled for 6:30 p.m., but
moved because Warrior Run is
graduating tonight.
Theyre feeling pretty
condent, Redeemer coach
Mark Senchak said. They g-
ured theyve gone this far and
theyre going to do their best to
keep going. Why stop here?
One reason could be War-
rior Run, a team that lost in the
state championship game last
year 4-3 to Neshannock in eight
innings. The Defenders return
all but one player from that
team, including their biggest
piece pitcher Tay Parker.
They also routed D2 champion
Nanticoke 14-1 in last years
state tournament.
No pitcher brings a more im-
pressive resume into the Class
2A state tournament than Park-
er. She has 890 career strike-
outs and 19 career no-hitters,
including one in a 3-0 victory
over Southern Columbia in the
D4-2A seminals.
She struck out 16 in a row
in that game and had 40 strike-
outs in three tournament
games. She was the Class 2A
Player of the Year in 2012.
I dont know what her plan
of attack will be, Senchak said,
but with her numbers shell
probably come right at us.
That could be a problem for
Redeemer, which didnt face
too many quality pitchers in Di-
vision 3 of the WVC. Exclude
Hanover Areas Mary Kate
Penczkowski and Northwests
Kelsey Yustat, and the main
starting pitchers of Redeemers
other opponents had a collec-
tive ERA of 8.28.
Redeemer, though, showed it
could beat good pitching in its
4-3 victory over Holy Cross and
tough lefty Erika Mackie for
the championship.
The Royals scored three
unearned runs in the fourth,
with two scoring on elding
and throwing errors on a rou-
tine grounder. Kaitlyn Kaluzny
scored Sydney Kotch with the
winning run in the eighth with
a squeeze bunt with one out.
Pitcher Kaya Swanek battled
through the intense heat to
throw a two-hitter with eight
strikeouts. It was her longest
stint of the season as the Roy-
als won six of their 12 league
games in ve innings or less.
Todays winner advances to
the quarternals on Thursday,
playing the winner of todays
game between D12 champion
Conwell Egan and D3 runner-
up Pequea Valley.

Bulls play long ball
in win over RailRiders
The Times Leader staff
DURHAM, N.C. After
recording no extra-base hits a
night earlier, the Durham Bulls
ripped four home runs in the
rst four innings Sunday to se-
cure the victory over the Rail-
Riders at Durham Bulls Athletic
Park.
Wil Myers started off the bar-
rage in the bottom of the rst
with a two-run homer to left
eld to give Durhaman early 2-0
advantage.
Former Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre player Shelley Duncan
added to the Bulls lead with a
solo shot in the bottom of the
second.
The RailRiders fought back in
the top of the third when Bobby
Wilson doubled to lead off the
inning and eventually scored on
a wild pitch to cut the decit to
two.
In the bottom of the fourth,
Durham opened the game up
as Cole Figueroa and Juan Apo-
daca hit back-to-back home runs
to lead a four-run inning.
In the top of the fth, Addison
Marusak smacked a single and
Wilson hit a double to left to put
runners in scoring position for
the RailRiders with no outs. Al-
berto Gonzalez capitalized as he
singled to right eld to cut the
lead to 7-2. In the next at-bat,
Thomas Neal grounded into a
double play that scored Wilson.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre held
the Bulls scoreless for the rest of
the game, but failed to plate any
runs until the top of the ninth in-
ning when Wilson blasted a solo
shot to left eld. Wilson nished
the game with three extra-base
hits, including two doubles and
a home run.
Mike Montgomery pitched six
innings, allowed three earned
runs and struck out four in the
victory.
Brett Marshall (2-4) earned
the loss allowing seven hits and
ve earned runs in three and
two-thirds innings.
The RailRiders will nish
their four-game series against
Durham today at 1:05 p.m. at
Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

The Times Leader staff
WILKES-BARRE Wilkes-
Barre answered a pair of 10th-
inning runs with three of its
own in the bottom of the frame
to pull out a dramatic 4-3 win
over Back Mountain on Sunday.
A game that started out 1-1 af-
ter one inning went all the way
into the 10th before another
run was scored. Back Mountain
scored two unearned runs to
take a 3-1 lead.
But Dan Conrad tied it up
with two outs in the home half
of the 10th with a two-run sin-
gle. Eric Kerr then won it in the
next at-bat with an RBI single.
Kerr had three hits, including
a double, to lead Wilkes-Barre.
Conrad also drove in his teams
run in the rst.
Wilkes-Barre starter John Zi-
once pitched into the 10th. He
and Jason Hoggarth combined
to hold Back Mountain to just
three hits.
Pat Condo struck out eight in
seven innings of work for Back
Mountain.

We certainly had the win-
ning car, Johnson said. Well
have to come back and do it in
the fall.
Montoyas only two career
Cup victories came on road
courses. He tried to play the
spoiler after Johnsons penalty
but just didnt have enough to
hold off a hard-charging Stew-

Johnson, who kept the points
lead, nished 17th.
He just wanted to get the

He just jumped it too much.
I would have tried to do the
same.
Matt Kenseth and Martin
Truex Jr., both in the top 10 in
points entering the race, made
early exits because of engine is-
sues.
Pole sitter Denny Hamlin n-
ished 34th after he hit the wall
late in the race. Hamlin needed
a big points day to try and crack
the top 20 if he has any hope at a
Chase for the Sprint Cup cham-
pionship wild-card berth. Ham-
lin is 26th in the standings, 122
points out of 10th and 74 points

Stewart aided his cause in

The two drivers in the 11th to

We got two weeks of momen-

Tony Stewart (14) takes the checkered ag to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup race Sunday at Dover
International Speedway in Dover, Del. Also seen is driver Timmy Hill (32).
For the Heat, its a chance
to move into the nals for the
third straight year and keep
hope alive of winning a second
straight title. For the Pacers,
its a chance to cap what would
surely go into the books as one
of the biggest upsets in NBA
playoff history, considering
that they nished 16 games
behind the Heat in the regular
season.
None of that matters much
now. The Pacers have beaten
Miami ve of nine times this
season. They need a sixth, or
else it was all for naught.
It is a closeout game and
an elimination game, Pacers
coach Frank Vogel said. Our
approach right now is not if we
lose were out our approach
is if we win, we get to the nals.
And thats what were going for.
Were going to give our best
shot and try to win the Eastern
Conference championship.
Mondays winner will open
the NBA Finals on Thursday
against San Antonio.
History suggests that the
odds are long for the Pacers.
Since the NBA went to its cur-
rent playoff format in 1984,
home teams are 16-2 in Game
7s played in the conference -
nals or NBA Finals.
Then again, the Pacers were
colossal underdogs heading
into this series, and if it wasnt
for a last-second collapse at the
end of Game 1, they probably
would already be East champs.
Indiana headed to Miami
with enough luggage for an
eight-day trip. If the Pacers win
Game 7, theyre headed to San
Antonio, with no time to make
a return swing through India-
napolis along the way.
The Pacers had an off-the-
court distraction to address
Sunday. The team distributed
an apology attributed to center
Roy Hibbert, who used a gay
slur in his postgame comments
on Saturday, plus used a profan-
ity to describe members of the
media.
They were disrespectful
and offensive and not a reec-
tion of my personal views,
Hibbert was quoted as saying
in the statement released by
the team. I used a slang term
that is not appropriate in any
setting, private or public, and
the language I used denitely
has no place in a public forum,
especially over live television.
Vogel said he spoke with Hib-
bert about the matter Sunday,
saying he obviously made a
great mistake.
On the court, though, Hib-
bert has had nothing to apolo-
gize for, dominating play inside
while the Heat are struggling in
countless ways.
Memorial
owned
by Kuchar
The Associated Press
DUBLIN, Ohio Matt
Kuchar was in a good spot Sun-
day at the Memorial. He had
his rst multiple-win season,
and an audience with tourna-
ment host Jack Nicklaus.
Needing two putts from 20
feet to hold off a late charge
from Kevin Chappell, Kuchar
punctuated a remarkably
steady nal round by making
the birdie putt for a 4-under 68
and a two-shot victory at Muir-
eld Village. He joined Tiger
Woods as the only players with
more than one win this year on
the PGA Tour.
Kuchar, who goes to a ca-
reer-best No. 4 in the world,
won the Match Play Champi-
onship in late February.
Tiger Woods made another
triple bogey two shots from
a bunker, three putts from 15
feet on the fringe at the
par-3 12th and had to rally for
an even-par 72. Woods came
into the Memorial having won
three times in his last four
starts, and left with the sec-
ond-highest score of his career
at 8-over 296.
The nal round was a snooz-
er until the very end, when
Chappell birdied three of his
last four holes. His approach
to the 18th settled within tap-
in range for birdie, putting a
little extra pressure on Kuchar.
When the putt dropped, he
ashed that easy smile and
thrust his st into the air as
his 3-year-old son Carson gave
Nicklaus a high-ve. Chappell
closed with a 68.
Shoprite LPGA Classic
GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP,
N.J. Karrie Webb won her
rst LPGA Tour title in two

down for a two-stroke vic-
tory over Shanshan Feng in
the wind-whipped ShopRite

er shot a magnicent 3-under

Federer rallies to beat Simon; S. Williams reaches quarters
By HOWARD FENDRICH
AP Tennis Writer
By HOWARD FENDRICH
AP Tennis Writer
PARIS Chasing a shot,
Roger Federer caught his right
shoe in the French Opens red
clay, twisting that foot awkward-
ly and tumbling to the ground.
Soon enough, he was in a real
rut, in danger of his earliest exit
from a Grand Slam tournament
in nine years.
Federer regrouped and re-
stored order eventually, coming
back froma two-sets-to-one de-
cit to beat 15th-seeded Gilles Si-
mon of France 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-2,
6-3 Sunday in the fourth round
to reach his 36th consecutive
major quarternal.
I didnt hurt myself or any-
thing, Federer said. But may-
be I did lose that touch of con-
dence for a little bit, and then
I was out of the match there for
a bit.
During a rare stretch of mid-
match mediocrity fromthe own-
er of a record 17 Grand Slam
championships the 2009
French Open trophy is part of
his collection Federer lost 10
of 13 games, including the one
in which he fell.
I didnt give him time, said
Simon, a one-time Grand Slam
quarternalist. I managed to
start moving him around a bit.
But Simon, a former member
of the top 10, could not keep Fe-
derer down. Able to tidy up my
play, as he put it, Federer went
from hitting more than twice as
many unforced errors as Simon
in the second and third sets,
25-12, to generating more than
twice as many winners in the
third and fourth, 29-14.
Federer said the match will
give him a lot of info heading
into his quarternal against an-
other Frenchman, No. 6-seeded
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Federers turnaround was not
the biggest of the day. Not even
close. That distinction belonged
to 32nd-seeded Tommy Robre-
do of Spain, who is specializing
in comebacks: He is the rst
man in 86 years to win three
Grand Slam matches in a row
after dropping the rst two sets
(Frances Henri Cochet pulled
that off at Wimbledon in 1927).
Robredo did it in the second
round Wednesday. He did it in
the third round Friday. And then
he did it in the fourth round
Sunday, defeating No. 11 Nico-
las Almagro 6-7 (5), 3-6, 6-4, 6-4,
6-4. Robredo trailed 4-1 in the
third set, 4-2 in the fourth and
2-0 in the fth.
Nobody dreams of doing
such things, said Robredo, who
dropped to his knees, leaned for-
ward and wept after winning.
Almagros take?
I dont know what adjective
to use, he said.
Robredos rst French Open
quarternal since 2009 he
missed the tournament in 2011
and 2012 because of left leg
problems that required surgery
will be against another Span-
iard, No. 4 David Ferrer, who
eliminated No. 23 Kevin Ander-
son of South Africa 6-3, 6-1, 6-1.
Tsonga, the 2008 Australian
Open runner-up, got past Vik-
tor Troicki 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. Tsonga
is 3-9 against Federer, but he did
come back from a two-set hole
to win their 2011 Wimbledon
quarternal.

Roger Federer returns against Gilles Simon, defeating Simon in ve sets 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3,
in their fourth round match at the French Open at Roland Garros stadium in Paris on Sunday.
PARIS Shortly after the
start of her fourth-round match
at the French Open, Serena Wil-
liams double-faulted to give her
opponent a chance to break.
The next point lasted 11
strokes, and Williams closed it
with a backhand winner down
the line that she punctuated
with a raised st and the rst of
Sunday afternoons many shouts
of Come on!
Williams, it turned out, was
already well on her way to the
quarternals with her 28th con-
secutive victory, this one by a
score of 6-1, 6-3 against 15th-
seeded Roberta Vinci of Italy. Its
her most wins in a row as a pro-
fessional, and the most in a sin-
gle season by any woman since
her sister Venus put together a
35-match run in 2000.
The 15-time Grand Slam
champions next task is a quar-
ternal against two-time major
champion Svetlana Kuznetsova,
who is ranked 39th and unseed-
ed at Roland Garros. Kuznetsova
beat No. 8-seeded Angelique
Kerber 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 Sunday.
Kuznetsova won the 2004 U.S.
Open and the 2009 French Open,
where she defeated Williams in
the quarternals along the way.
Kuznetsova screamed with
joy after her forehand winner on
match point against Kerber to
improve to 12-2 in three-setters
this season. Shes now 41-9 for
her French Open career.
No. 6 seed Tsonga should
have the french crowd
behind him vs. federer.
Kuznetsova next against
the American star.
