As the days grow shorter, its
Northeastern Pennsylvanias time to
shine.
Sunny days and cool nights in the lead-
up to fall have kick-started the annual
spectacle of leaves changing their color
across the state slightly earlier than in
recent years, state ofcials say, with
peak foliage viewing expected within
the next two weeks in much of Luzerne,
Wyoming and Lackawanna counties.
And the tourists seem to know it.
We just got off the phone with some-
one from New York City. Weve been get-
ting calls from all over the place, said
Janet Hall, director of sales and market-
ing for the Luzerne County Convention
and Visitors Bureau.
According to the state Department
of Conservation and Natural Resources
Bureau of Forestry, Pennsylvanias fall
foliage season is longer and more varied
than any other state or anywhere else

WILKES-BARRE Robert
K. Mericle was a philanthropist
long before he became a felon.
Awaiting sentencing after
pleading guilty to federal cor-
ruption charges in 2009, the
developer continues to spread
his wealth around Northeastern
Pennsylvania, in the form of
charitable donations to a range
of organizations.
Critics charge Mericle
has stepped up his con-
tributions to inuence
his sentencing judge,
contending the primary
motivation has been
self-serving, in hopes
of restoring a tarnished
image and minimizing
his eventual sentence.
Several people who have
known the developer, and
beneted from his donations,
respond that such criticism is
without foundation.
If he had not had the 20
years of philanthropic works
going into this, I would sus-
pect that this may be the case,
Joseph Curran, executive direc-
tor of the Ethics Institute at
Misericordia University,
said of suggestions that
Mericle is merely trying
to sway a judge. I think
since its a continuation
of his past practice, that
doesnt ring true to me.

pitch last week, with
Wyoming Seminary reversing
its decision to name a Kingston
athletic facility Mericle Field, in
recognition of the developers
contribution toward the project.
Tainted past
Why now, after signicant
philanthropy both before and
after his downfall, has this proj-
ect caused such anger? Mericles
ties to Luzerne Countys notori-
ous kids-for-cash scandal seem
to have raised hackles after his
family name was emblazoned
on a youth sports facility owned
by the private school.

WASHINGTON Locked
in a deepening struggle with
President Barack Obama,
House Republicans demanded
a one-year delay in major parts
of the nations new health care
law and permanent repeal of a
tax on medical devices Saturday
as the price for preventing a
partial government shutdown
threatened for early Tuesday.
Senate Democrats rejected
the plan even before the House
could post it online for the pub-
lic. The majority leader, Sen.
Harry Reid, D-Nev., added
that Obama has stated that
he would veto such measures if
they ever reached his desk.
Undeterred, House
Republicans pressed ahead with
their latest attempt to squeeze
a concession from the White
House in exchange for letting
the government open for busi-
ness normally
on Tuesday.
They also
agreed to pass
l e g i s l a t i o n
assuring U.S.
troops are paid
in the event of
a shutdown.
I think we
have a winning
program here,
said Rep. Hal
Rogers, R-Ky.,
chairman of
the House
Appropriations Committee,
after days of discord that pitted
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
and his leadership against tea
party-backed conservatives.
There was no immediate
reaction from the White House.
Obama said Friday he would
not be party to eviscerating the
law he won from Congress in
his rst term, and spokesman
Jay Carney said the adminis-
tration would absolutely not
back repealing the medical
devices tax.

In whats becoming a semi-reg-
ular game of chicken, Congress
once again has the federal gov-
ernment on the precipice of a
shutdown.
On Monday, a stopgap spend-
ing plan expires, and without
yet another continuing resolu-
tion, the government will have
to make some tough decisions
about what gets spent and
where. And to top it off, in a few
weeks, the United States will
hit its debt limit. If Congress
doesnt pass a new spending bill
by the end of Monday, much of
the federal government could
shut down on Tuesday.
But not all of it. Essential
employees will remain on the
job and some ofces will remain
open, even if some of those
employees on the clock wont be
getting paid.
This song-and-dance routine
has been performed before
Congress hasnt passed a full
budget since 2009 and instead
has been approving continuing
resolutions to fund the govern-
ment. Each time those temporary

PIERCE, Neb. A
handful of barely driven
vintage Chevrolets fetched
more than half a million
dollars on Saturday at an
auction that drew thou-
sands of car buffs from
around the world to a small
northeast Nebraska town.
Bidders and gawkers
crowded shoulder-to-
shoulder for the auction
in a muddy eld just west
of Pierce, a town of about
1,800. Spectators in heli-
copters and airplanes
circled overhead as the
lead auctioneer, Yvette
VanDerBrink, inched
down the auction line on a
wooden platformhauled by
a pickup.
Event organizers said an
estimated 10,000 people
traveled from as far as
Norway and Brazil to see
the sale in person, and
more than 3,800 had reg-
istered online to bid at an
auction website by mid-
day Saturday.
The auctionof more than
500 old cars and pickups
was expected to continue
on Sunday. Organizers
said they hadnt yet totaled
the bids for the roughly
50 most high-prole, low-
mileage classic cars and
trucks, which were auc-
tioned on Saturday. As of
midday, six of the most
valuable models had sold
for a combined $545,000.
The collection belonged
to Ray Lambrecht and his
wife, Mildred, who ran a
Chevrolet dealership in
downtown Pierce for ve
decades before retiring in
1996. Unlike most dealers,
Ray Lambrecht stashed
many of his unsold cars in
a warehouse, at his farm
and other spots around
town if they didnt sell in
the rst year.
The rst vehicle sold
a sky-blue, 1958 Chevy
Cameo pickup driven 1.3
miles securedthe largest
bid at $140,000. Another
bidder spent $97,500 on a
red and white 1963 Impala
with 11.4 miles on its
odometer, the manufactur-
ers plastic on the seat and
a yellow typewritten win-
dow sticker displaying its
original price: $3,254.70.
Lyle Buckhouse, a
retired farmer from
Hankerson, N.D., poked
his head Saturday into a
1963 Chevy Corvair with
17.2 miles on the odom-
eter. Moments later, the
self-proclaimed Corvair
guy was hunting eagerly
for the bidder-registration
tent.
This is a once-in-a-
lifetime opportunity,
Buckhouse said. Thats
why I came down here.
You just dont know what
youre going to see.
Bob Esler, the owner of
Bobs Garage in Westeld,
Ind., bought a four-door
1964 Bel Air station wagon
for $30,000. The car had
326 miles.
This is one of the cars
that I had my eyes on,
Esler said, as he leaned
against his new purchase.
I want to use it to haul all
of my customers around.
How are you getting
it back home? a friend
asked.
Esler shrugged. I
havent gured that out
yet, he said.
Preparations for the two-
day auction began in June.
VanDerBrink, the auction-
eer, said she took calls from
as far as Iceland, Singapore
and Brazil before the event.
The two least-driven
cars, a 1959 Bel Air and a
1960 Corvair Monza, have
one mile on their odom-
eter. The oldest vehicle
with fewer than 20 miles
dates to 1958; the newest
is a 1980 Monza with nine
miles.
Some bidders used the
auction to hunt for rare
parts for their collector
cars and trucks, while oth-
ers came to watch the spec-
tacle.
What drew us here
as much as anything was
the story, said Ernie
Turcotte, who drove with
his son, Jeff, from central
Massachusetts to look
for fenders and running
boards for his 1955 Ford
F-100. I dont understand
how it even happened. But
here they are.

WILKES-BARRE One
more giant aluminum panel
shuddered and fell into place
with a resounding thud.
Engineers looked on as their
handiwork aligned as designed,
protecting the city against
calamity if the Susquehanna
River were to rise up against it
again.
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and Luzerne County
Flood Protection Authority
held a dry run this weekend,
testing the levees post and
panel system on Wilkes-Barre
and Kingston sides of the
Market Street Bridge.
Modications had been
made to the posts. Welders
added angled plates near the
bottom of the beams to guide
the panels and the foam rubber
gaskets below the panels. The
updates were made after the
ood caused by Tropical Storm
Lee proved the old ones let out
too much water.
Thats what they are trying
to correct, said Army Corps
Project Manager Rolando
Sanidad.
Acting Flood Protection
Authority Director Chris
Belleman said water leaking
through the horizontal panel
seams is acceptable; however,
water soaking below the wall is
something engineers felt they
could x.
I want to reiterate, the post
and panel worked fantastic,
Belleman said of the wall in
2011.
If county ofcials, working
with the National Weather
Service, nd potential ood-
ing is imminent, it takes work-
ers about a day to raise the
road-spanning walls, Belleman
said. The end panels slide into
anchors on either side of the
bridge. The posts enter the
ground by about 4 feet. A rein-
forced foundation spans under
River Street and stops the river
from pushing over the wall.
Former authority Director
Jim Brozena was there
Saturday watching the walls
take shape. Brozena was run-
ning the authority in 2011.
The walls, about 12 feet tall
from the sidewalk, can with-
stand the river raging at about
45 feet, Brozena said. In 2011,
the river crested at 42.66 feet,
about 20 feet above natural
ood stage in the Valley.
Belleman said they were test-
ing how the new gaskets t
under the panels, but they also
erected the walls to stay nimble
on the cranes and forklifts.
If we go for a couple years
without a ood event, well
do a test installation just to
keep everyones awareness
up, Belleman said. If theres
a problem, its important to
nd out about it now instead of
trying to pull a solution out of
your back pocket.
Workers from Tri-State
Design/KC Construction in
Elkins Park were hired by the
Army Corps to update the
posts and run the test installa-
tion.
A smaller post and panel
system behind the Luzerne
County Courthouse was tested
and Sanidad said engineers also
are refurbishing pumps at the
bridge and in Edwardsville as
part of a levee-system update.
Last month, Belleman said
the authority is working its
way along the 13 miles of levee
making repairs to a tune of $2
million to $3 million after the
ood boiled out pockets below
the earthen levees and strained
retaining walls from Exeter to
Plymouth.

according to acting Luzerne County
Coroner William Lisman.
As of Saturday morning, Vito Aiello
was still being treated at Geisinger

Fire damages
S. Grant St. home
A home along South Grant Street
in the Heights section of Wilkes-Barre
caught re around midnight Friday,
severely damaging the rear of the house.
Thomas Nat, who owns the home
where his daughter, Nadine Nat, lives,
showed video of ames lapping from
the ground up through the second-
oor porch into the air. The re would
have caused more damage if it werent
for a neighbors dog alerting them
something was wrong, the Nats said.
No one was injured and reght-
ers were able to stop the re before it
spread to the front half of the house.
Police had heard reports of gunre at
the time of the blaze, but Nat said it
was reworks left over from the Fourth
of July that had ignited.

WILKES-BARRE The
River Common burst into col-
ors on Saturday afternoon as
hundreds of people converged
on the Millennium Circle por-
tal to express their creative
side during the fourth annual
ChalkFest.
ChalkFest is one of many free
events the River Front Parks
Committee holds throughout
the year, providing family fun
while teaching a bit about the
environment, John Maday,
executive director for the com-
mittee, said. It was held from11
a.m. to 3 p.m.
Walking through the portal
to the river side, families were
greeted by a big table with free
boxes of colorful chalk. Lynnelle
Welch, a volunteer with the
River Front Parks Committee,
said she had handed out about
200 boxes by 1 p.m.
We have had well over 600
people come in so far, she said.
Maday said this years
ChalkFest grew with sponsor-
shipfromMedExpress, Building
Blocks Learning Center, Jack
Williams, American Water and
the Luzerne Foundation to
name a few.
The goal is to create environ-
mental awareness, education
and stewardship, he said.
Walking around, Ive been
hearing things such as Wow,
this is fun and There are more
things here this year, Maday
said.
Actives for children included
nding out how many drops of
water a penny could hold (some
were getting up to 28 drops)
and a live mammal show featur-
ing animals such as possums.
Learning about water con-
servation and how important
trees are to the water cycle was
another popular attraction.
Building Blocks Learning
Center was allowing children to
make their own terrariumout of
empty plastic water bottles.
It is a hands-on activ-
ity made with everyday items,
said Zubeen Saeed, president of
the center. It uses math and sci-
ence concepts.
While nishing up sidewalk
squares, Jacqueline Schineller
said she has come every year
with her daughter, Giuliana, 7,
of Dallas.
We are originally from New
Jersey, Schineller said. They
do not have things like this
there.
Looking out at people sh-
ing along the Susquehanna
River, drawing and walking
about, Maday said this is what
it is all about giving people
an opportunity to socialize and
learn about the environment.
This adds to the quality of
life, he said.
Maday said years ago he
pitched the idea of ChalkFest
while running through Wilkes-
Barre and admiring chalk draw-
ings fromlocal children. He said
the committee developed it into
an annual event.
This is all done by volun-
teers, he said.
The river really symbolizes
our communities, Maday said.
All the tributaries that run into
the river symbolize all the com-
munities.
We are all drawn to the
river, he said.
Mike Patla, of Wilkes-Barre,
was putting the nishing touch-
es on his drawing of cartoon
character Homer Simpson.
I love this idea, he said.
It is a great think that they do
this.

HARVEYS LAKE More
than 300 biodegradable lan-
terns were sent to the heavens
Saturday evening with messag-
es of hope, prayer, dreams and
celebration.
The second annual Huntsville
Christian Church Lanterns
of Hope event was held at
the Harveys Lake Beach Club
with proceeds going to The
Hope Center, a free clinic on
Carverton Road operated by
Ron and Suzanne Hillard.
Sherry Jenkins coordinated
the event that included food,
beverages, live music, bake sale,
basket rafe and the Hillside
Ice Cream truck. Each lantern
cost $5. Jenkins said volunteers
decided to send a lantern up in
memory of Ron Hillards father,
Louis, who died Sept. 17 at age
97.
Pastor Pat Colladay of
Huntsville Christian Church
said the lantern launch offered
participants an opportunity to
express their hopes in a sharing
manner.
Hope is here, he said. I look
at it as prayers being lifted up to
God. Theres a lot of emotion
here. Everybody needs hope.
Lynn Rave helped Jenkins
plan the event and she was send-
ing up a lantern in memory of
her father, Pete Biscontini, and
her in-laws, Barbara and Bob
Rave. On her lantern she wrote,
Miss you every day. She said
that when the lanterns go up
most were launchedaround7:30
p.m. everyone could look to
the sky and see hope rise.
People have many reasons to
launch a lantern loved ones,
battles with cancer, cherished
pets, she said. And its easy
to get enthusiastic about a good
cause like The Hope Center.
They dont turn anyone away.
Ginny Major of Dallas said
her lantern would send a mes-
sage to her mom and dad, Erma
and Robert Culp.
It just says love ya, Major
said. I knowmy dad is up there
shing. Its really nice to see the
community come together for a
good cause.
Annette Devaneys lantern
carried a message to her late
husband, Marty, that said, You
can come home now. Devaney
liked the idea of attaching mes-
sage to the lanterns.
Its sending prayers to God,
she said. Its very emotional.
Messages included: Dear
God, I wish you could heal my
grandma, and We miss you.
Deidre Miller Kaminski sent
lanterns up for her mother,
father and grandparents.
My mom passed away
when I was 5 and she was 35,
Kaminski said. My grandpar-
ents raised me along with my
dad, who would have celebrated
his birthday today.
Hillard said the event is about
more than the money raised.
Its about getting people to
come together to reach out to
their loved ones and to make a
connection, he said.
The Hope Center offers free
medical, vision, dental and chi-
ropractic care as well as free
legal advice and counseling
services. The Center is staffed
solely by community volunteers
including medical and legal
professionals and every effort
is made to utilize existing com-
munity resources.

Rover shows unexpectedly great complexity of Mars
AMINA KHAN
Los Angeles Times
A series of discoveries
from NASAs Curiosity
rover are giving scientists
a picture of Mars that looks
increasingly complex, with
small bits of water spread
around the surface and an
interior that could have
been more geologically
mature than experts had
previously thought.
Curiositys formidable
arsenal of scientic instru-
ments has detected traces of
water chemically bound to
the Martian dust that seems
to be covering the entire
planet.
The nding, among sev-
eral in the ve studies pub-
lished online Thursday by
the journal Science, may
explain mysterious water
signals picked up by satel-
lites in orbit around the Red
Planet.
The soil that covers Mars
surface in Gale Crater,
where Curiosity landed last
year, seems to have two
major components, accord-
ing to data from the rovers
laser-shooting Chemistry
and Camera instrument.
One is a coarse soil with
millimeter-wide grains
that probably came from
the rocks around them;
the other is very ne, with
grains often a few microm-
eters in size, the ChemCam
data show.
The ne-grained soil
doesnt really match the
rocks around it, said
Pierre-Yves Meslin of the
University of Toulouse in
France, who led one of the
studies. But it does seem
to match the stuff found at
sites where other rovers and
landers touched down. That
means its probably distrib-
uted over much or all of the
planet, kicked up and carried
far in the erce dust storms
that can shroud the planet in
a reddish haze.
The researchers say they
dont know where that soil
comes from, whether its cre-
ated in many places or has
one source that gets picked
up and blown all over.
Either way, its a handy,
naturally averaged sample
of the Martian surface, said
Indiana University miner-
alogist David Bish, who led
a different study.
Perhaps the most intrigu-
ing thing about this ne soil
is that ChemCams read-
ings detected a hydrogen
signal, which could explain
why satellites orbiting Mars
have picked up a mysteri-
ous water signal in the past,
Meslin said.
Its actually kind of excit-
ing because its water yet
again on Mars, but its in
a different material than
we had recognized, said
Caltech geologist John
Grotzinger, the missions
project scientist. So what
Curiosity is doing is just
demonstrating that water is
present in a number of ways.
It just adds to the diversity.
But another study based
on data from Curiositys
Chemistry and Mineralogy
tool part of the dirt-digest-
ing lab in the rovers belly
found no sign of water
in soil samples taken from
Rocknest, a sandy dune of a
pit stop on the rovers way to
a region dubbed Yellowknife
Bay. Thats because CheMin
uses X-ray diffraction to
bounce high-energy light
off of a minerals crystalline
structure. If the soil isnt in
crystalline form, theres no
way for CheMin to see it.
All this means the hydro-
gensignal seenbyChemCam
must have been coming from
the amorphous, or non-crys-
talline, portion, which makes
up a signicant minority of
the soil, said Bish, who led
the CheMin study.
Sure enough, Curiositys
Sample Analysis at Mars
instrument cooked up a tiny
sample in its little oven and
found that roughly 1.5 per-
cent to 3 percent of the soil
was made of water. The sci-
entists think this water may
have come from the atmo-
sphere, pulled out of the thin
air.
Bish said it was interest-
ing that CheMin found no
signs of minerals that formed
in water, since looking for
such clays was one of the
reasons for going to Gale
Crater. Inside Gale Crater
lies a 3-mile-high mountain
called Mt. Sharp, whose
layers could be rich in clays
that hold answers to whether
Mars was hospitable to life.
Its possible that this ne-
grained soil is simply too
young to have ever encoun-
tered liquid water, he said.
If so, it would mean that
many years passed between
the formation of the water-
rich clays locked inside of
certain rocks and the dusty
grains that currently cover
the Martian surface.
Another of the studies
focusedonthe rockknownas
Jake M, named after NASA
engineer Jake Matijevic, who
died shortly after the rover
landed in 2012.
The researchers didnt
intendtostudytherock. They
analyzed it with Curiositys
alpha-particle X-rayspectrom-
eter to help put ChemCams
measurements in context,
said Caltech geologist
Edward Stolper, lead author
of that study.
Jake M is unlike any vol-
canic rock seen on Mars.
Its rich in alkaline magma,
which told the research-
ers that it had been created
under high pressure and
perhaps in the presence of
water, Stolper said.
The rocks composition
also told scientists that it
was clearly made of the left-
overs after other minerals
had crystallized out. That led
themto believe that the heat-
ing and cooling and move-
ment of magma that used to
occur beneath Mars mantle
were a lot more complicated
than they had thought.

GEOFF MULVIHILL
Associated Press
A judges ruling Friday that
New Jersey must allow gay
couples to marry will not be
the last word on the issue after
Gov. Chris Christies adminis-
tration said it would appeal to
a higher court.
The judge, Mary Jacobson,
sided with gay and lesbian
couples and a gay rights group
that argued the state govern-
ment is violating New Jerseys
constitution by denying fed-
eral benets to the couples by
not letting them marry. She
said the state must allow gay
couples to wed starting Oct.
21.
The ruling was the rst of its
kind in any state court relying
on a June U.S. Supreme Court
ruling that struck down key
parts of a law that blocked the
federal government from grant-
ing benets to gay couples.
Every day that the state
does not allow same-sex
couples to marry, plaintiffs
are being harmed, Jacobson
wrote, citing specically
same-sex couples who include
a federal employee, those
who want to use the federal
Family Medical Leave Act or
those who le joint federal tax
returns.
Whatever course Christie
chose had the potential of put-
ting the Republican governor
in a tough spot politically.
Hes seeking re-election in a
state where polls show broad
support for gay marriage and
where the Legislature passed a
law last year to allow it.
At the same time, hes seen
as a possible contender for
the Republican nomination for
president in 2016, a position
that requires winning over rela-
tively conservative Republican
electorates in some states with
early primaries.
Still, he has been resolute
about his position, favoring
civil unions and opposing gay
marriage. On Friday, Christie
refused to take questions
about the ruling, instead issu-
ing a brief statement through a
spokesman.
Gov. Christie has always
maintained that he would
abide by the will of the voters
on the issue of marriage equal-
ity and called for it to be on the
ballot this Election Day, said
spokesman Michael Drewniak.
Since the Legislature refused
to allow the people to decide
expeditiously, we will let the
Supreme Court make this con-
stitutional determination.
Thirteen states now rec-
ognize same-sex marriages,
including the entire Northeast
except for Pennsylvania and
New Jersey.

Greek Parliament
members arested
The leader of Greeces extreme-right
Golden Dawn party and four other
of its parliamentarians were formally

government crackdown after a fatal
stabbing blamed on a supporter.
It was the rst time since 1974 that
sitting members of Parliament have
been arrested. The arrests underline
the Greek governments efforts to
stie the ercely anti-immigrant party,
which has been increasingly on the
defensive since the killing.

NAIROBI, Kenya Kenya
on Saturday sharply criticized a
decision by the United States to
reissue a travel advisory for the
country in the wake of the deadly
attack on an upscale mall in the
capital Nairobi, highlighting fears
that the assault could hurt the
East African nations lucrative
tourism industry.
The U.S. State Department
released the updated advisory
on Friday that made specic ref-
erence to the Sept. 21 terrorist
attack on the Westgate Mall in
Nairobi that left at least 67 people
dead, including several foreigners.
Five Americans were injured in
the attack, according to the State
Department.
The advisory, which contained
similar wording to one issued in
June, warned Americans to take
caution in light of ongoing terror-
ist threats and the high rate of vio-
lent crime in some areas.
It noted that U.S. authorities
continue to receive information
about potential terrorist threats
aimed at U.S., Western, and
Kenyan interests in Kenya, includ-
ing in the Nairobi area and in the
coastal city of Mombasa.
Kenyas Ministry of Foreign
Affairs condemned the U.S.
decision to issue the statement
Saturday, saying it was unneces-
sary and uncalled for. It urged
Washington to withdraw the
advisory and said it has made its
concerns clear through diplomatic
channels.
Terrorism, such as in the attack
on Westgate Mall, is a global prob-
lem. The United States itself, has
suffered terror attacks before,
and so have other countries right
across the globe, the ministry
said. Issuing travel advisories
is not what we expect of our
friends.
The militant group al-Shabab
has said it carried out the mall
attack to punish Kenya for send-
ing its troops into neighboring
Somalia to ght the al-Qaida-
linked militant group that had
seized large parts of that country
for years before being dislodged
from the capital, Mogadishu.
Kenyas large tourism indus-
try is one of the countrys larg-
est sources of foreign currency.
Authorities are sensitive to any-
thing that could keep visitors away
from its Indian Ocean beaches
and safaris of game parks teem-
ing with giraffes, zebras and other
wild animals.
About 1.8 million tourists visit-
ed Kenya in 2011, primarily from
Europe and the United States,
according to the Kenya National
Bureau of Statistics.
Phyllis Kandie, cabinet secre-
tary for East African affairs, com-
merce and tourism, earlier in the
week sought to assure tourists
that Kenya remains a safe desti-
nation.
conversation with Obama wins rouhani good will, but some denounce overture
ALI AKBAR DAREINI
Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran Smiling and waving
ags, Iranians from across the political
spectrum welcomed President Hassan
Rouhani home Saturday with cheers for
his historic phone conversation with his
American counterpart. But pockets of
anger over the new contact between the
two enemy nations signaled challenges
ahead.
Hard-liners opposed to any improved
contact with Washington made their
objections clear as several dozen protest-
ers chanting death to America tried to
block his motorcade in Tehran. The semi-
ofcial Mehr news agency reported that
at least one demonstrator hurled a shoe
a common gesture of contempt in the
Middle East in Rouhanis direction.
Other reports said eggs were thrown at
his car.
Dialogue with Satan is not hope and
prudence, some chanted, using the
Rouhanis campaign from the June presi-
dential election.
Rouhani supporters, meanwhile, greet-
ed him with placards thanking him for
seeking peace instead of confrontation.
One banner read: Yes to peace, no to
war.
Fridays 15-minute phone call between
Rouhani and President Barack Obama
capped a week of drama revolving around
Rouhanis participation in the annual U.N.
meeting of world leaders.
The Iranian leader now has the dif-
cult mission of trying to unite the coun-
try behind his outreach to ease a three-
decade-long estrangement with the U.S.
and move toward a possible settlement to
roll back sanctions imposed over Tehrans
nuclear program.
The West says Irans program aims at
developing weapons technology, while
Tehran says it is for peaceful purposes.
The effort appears to have the critical
backing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei. But even the endorsement
from Irans most powerful gure is not
enough to silence criticism of the fast-
paced developments during the past days.
The hard-line rajanews.com news web-
site said there was no justication for
Rouhani to talk to the Great Satan, its
term for the United States, adding that
the conversation was a strange and use-
less step.
Rouhani has followed a policy of moder-
ation and easing tensions with the outside
world, a marked distance from the bom-
bastic style of his predecessor Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad.
Rouhani says Iran is ready to provide
assurances that Irans nuclear program
wont be weaponized by offering greater
transparency and cooperation. He has
demanded lifting of sanctions in return.
Also Saturday, the CNN website,
blocked since unrest broke out in 2009
over Ahmadinejads disputed election,
was accessible. That could be a sign
of a gradual easing of Internet restric-
tions and outreach to the U.S.

Firefghters followed procedure, report says
FELICIA FONSECA
and HANNAH DREIER
Associated Press
PRESCOTT, Ariz. A
three-month investigation into
the June deaths of 19 reght-
ers killed while battling an
Arizona blaze cites poor com-
munication between the men
and support staff, and reveals
that an airtanker carrying
ame retardant was hovering
overhead as the reghters
died.
The 120-page report
released Saturday found that
proper procedure was followed
and assigned little of blame for
the worst reghting tragedy
since Sept. 11, 2001.
All but one member of the
Granite Mountain Hotshots
crew died June 30 while pro-
tecting the small former gold
rush town of Yarnell, about 80
miles northwest of Phoenix,
from an erratic, lightning-
sparked wildre.
While maintaining a neutral
tone, the investigation found
badly programmed radios,
vague updates, and a 33-min-
ute communication blackout
just before the ames engulfed
the men. Investigators did not
consider whether better com-
munication might have saved
the men.
The report provides the rst
minute-to-minute account of
the fatal afternoon.
The day went according to
routine in the boulder-strewn
mountains until the wind
shifted around 4 p.m., push-
ing a wall of re that had been
receding from the hotshots all
day back toward them.
After that, the command
center lost track of the 19 men.
The reghters either ignored
or did not receive weather
warnings. They left the safety
of a burned ridge and dropped
into a densely vegetated val-
ley surrounded by mountains,
heading toward a ranch. The
report states that they failed to
perceive the excessive risk
of repositioning to continue
ghting the re.

Pa. Legislature paid $4.2Mto 258 aides in buyouts
MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
HARRISBURG The
Pennsylvania Legislature
paid 258 of its employees
more than $4.2 million to
retire or quit in the past
two years in buyouts that
in many cases gave people
with decades of service an
extra incentive to leave and
begin collecting substantial
pensions.
The voluntary programs
began in the Senate and
were designed to cut per-
sonnel costs into the future.
The average recipient col-
lected more than $16,000,
and nine people received
$40,000 apiece. The Senate
clerks ofce said its total
number of employees fell
from 902 in November
2011, when buyouts were
offered, to 819 as of August.
That chambers payroll
shrank more than $4 mil-
lion.
Issues of legislative com-
pensation and payouts are
a politically sensitive issue
in Pennsylvania, where
the legislative workforce
is among the nations larg-
est. Lawmakers generated
a strong backlash from the
public for voting to raise
their own pay in 2005,
followed by the so-called
Bonusgate scandal involving
payments of state money to
staffers who worked on cam-
paigns.
Information about the
programs was obtained
by The Associated Press
through the states Right-to-
Know Law, including previ-
ously undisclosed details
about the House buyouts
late last year.
In the House, 78
Democratic employees, 99
Republican employees and
34 people who work for the
bipartisan management arm
took advantage of the pro-
gram, and their ranks includ-
ed lawyers, researchers, mes-
sengers and custodians.
The House permitted any-
one with at least one year of
service to participate, and
25 people with three years
or less took the offer.
The Senate limited par-
ticipants to those who were
at or near retirement age or
pension eligibility, and 47
took advantage.
Both chambers credited
employees for their work
in other branches of state
government, giving them
$1,000 or a weeks pay for
each year of service. The
Senate capped payouts
at $40,000; the House,
$25,000.
In the House Republican
caucus alone, 67 employ-
ees who participated in the
program also cashed out
leave, at an additional cost
of about $800,000. The 34
bipartisan workers in the
House who took the buyout
all cashed out leave, collect-
ing $206,000.
There are lots of ways
they can save money over
there without having to
spend more money, said
Tim Potts, a former House
Democratic aide who has
campaigned to improve
the Legislatures ethics and
operations. They should be
reducing the staff in the rst
place.
That was the main goal
of the program, said Drew
Crompton, a high-ranking
Senate aide who helped
develop and administer the
program. He said it was
designed after studying
other buyouts and approved
in a vote by a committee of
senior senators.
This was not some sort
of wildgiveaway, Crompton
said. This was a calculated
effort in order to shrink the
size of the Senate which,
quite frankly, has worked
out tremendously well. We
are incredibly leaner than
we were seven years ago. If
it takes investment for that
to happen, so be it.
The Senate offered the
buyouts about six months
after a series on the
Legislatures staff by the
AP and the Pennsylvania
Associated Press
Managing Editors showed
Pennsylvania employed
about one of every 11 state
legislative employees in the
nation, in a state that has
about 4 percent of the coun-
trys population.
The buyouts may have
increased the cost of the
state pension system by
encouraging people to start
collecting before they oth-
erwise may have, said Eric
Epstein, a frequent critic of
legislative operations. The
cost of the state pension
plan is a growing concern
for state policymakers, and
Gov. Tom Corbett has been
pushing for changes in the
face of increasing obliga-
tions to taxpayers.
I dont think anybody
in their right mind would
argue that the efciency
of the Legislature has
increased since these folks
were separated from their
employment, Epstein said.
You dont need to be trim-
ming a couple of branches
you need to reduce the
size of the forest.
Bill Patton, a spokesman
for the House Democrats,
said the decision to offer
buyouts was made by
Minority Leader Frank
Dermody, D-Allegheny,
after consulting with senior
caucus leaders as part of a
longer-term plan to reduce
employee costs. He said the
House Democrats have shed
more than 20 percent of
their workforce since 2009.
We understand that
the Legislature is going to
continue to exist and will
always need staff people, but
through this planning were
able to control the future
cost increases, Patton said.
House Republican spokes-
man Steve Miskin said the
buyouts were approved by
senior leaders after consult-
ing with members. Through
a spokesman, the Senate
Democratic leadership
declined to comment.

information on a crime for help-
ing former county judges Mark
A. Ciavarella Jr. and Michael
T. Conahan try to obscure the
source of $2.8 million, which
Mericle and attorney Robert
Powell paid the pair.
The disgraced ex-judges are
serving long prison sentences
for their roles in sentencing
juvenile defendants to serve
time in two private deten-
tion centers built by Mericle
Construction. Powell pleaded
guilty in July 2009 to paying the
judges $772,500 in kickbacks
and helping them conceal the
source of $2.1 million more they
received from Mericle as nd-
ers fees for helping him obtain
construction contracts. Powell
was sentenced in November
2011 to 18 months in prison.
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Gordon Zubrod in 2009 said
there was no evidence Mericle
knew about the kickbacks.
Rather, he got himself into trou-
ble for not being honest with
investigators about nders
fees, which are an otherwise
legitimate and common transac-
tion in the real estate business,
Zubrod explained.
With such a past, Curran
suggested that for Wyoming
Seminary to accept Mericles
donations may be ethical in that
it benets students, but that
honoring Mericle in a conspicu-
ous way may not.
The message that can send is
that a certain amount of money
can mean all is good, and Im
not OK with that especially
for an organization that serves
children, Curran said.
In a statement issued by
Wyoming Seminary Board of
Trustees Chairman Richard
Goldberg last week, the initial
choice of Mericle Field was
described as a gesture to honor
a family for its sincere support
over a 20-year period, but the
school also called it a regret-
table situation and apologized
for any offense.
Mericle once served on the
the schools board of trustees,
previously contributed to other
projects, and his daughter grad-
uated from the school earlier
this year.
I certainly have some sym-
pathy for the people at Sem,
Curran said of the school. They
want to serve their students
well and they want to acknowl-
edge the generosity of someone
who has done something terri-
bly wrong and yet has been very
generous to them.
Other donations
Wyoming Seminary is far
from the only organization
associated with youths that he
has chosen to assist.
Land and construction dona-
tion worth $2 million were pro-
vided by Mericle and his family
to create a Junior Achievement
village in Pittston Township,
where youths have the chance
to spend the day learning what
its like to operate a business.
Since it opened in 2007, more
than 25,000 area students have
participated in programs there.
Junior Achievement Director
Melissa Turlip said the build-
ing would not have been built
without the Mericle donation.
The program would exist
only in classrooms and stu-
dents would not be able to
come to a facility to get the
real experience of entrepre-
neurship, nancial literacy and
work readiness, Turlip said.
At the Wilkes-Barre Family
YMCA, Executive Director Jim
Thomas said Mericles associa-
tion started early.
He was a Y Kid, Thomas
said. And he never left, later
serving on our board and as a
volunteer starting in the mid-
1990s.
That association really
paid off, Thomas said, when
Mericle stepped in with money
and expertise after a 1998 capi-
tal campaign stalled.
We were looking for things
to cut out, Thomas said. We
were struggling with a deci-
sion to choose between the
new pool or the new gym.
Rob stepped in with his team
at Mericle Development and
re-did our plans to make them
more cost-effective. We came
in under budget.
Flood work noted
Mericles post-plea largess
has not been limited to youth
and recreation activities, nor
has it always been as controver-
sial as the Wyoming Seminary
project.
In September 2011, Mericles
intervention was credited with
preventing disaster as the
swollen Susquehanna River
threatened to ood the West
Side.
Jim Brozena, then executive
director of the Luzerne County
Flood Protection Authority
and the former county engi-
neer, said Mericle called him
when the river was rising to
record levels to ask what he
could do to help. Mericle, his
employees and trucks brought
tons of material to the levee in
Forty Fort where several situa-
tions occurred that threatened
the integrity of the dike sys-
tem.
At the end of the day,
because of his actions and the
actions of several others, a pos-
itive outcome was effected,
Brozena said. The repairs
made at that time made a huge
difference in the outcome.
But Mericles money has
not always found its way into
charitable hands by choice in
recent years.
Part of his 2009 plea agree-
ment was to allocate $2.15
million to a fund to benet
children. The cash was for-
warded to the Pennsylvania
Commission on Crime and
Delinquency, which selected
17 projects that would benet,
and Mericle had no input in
the choice of projects.
Admission, forgiveness
Monsignor Joseph Kelly,
executive director of Catholic
Social Services an agency
that shared in the court-man-
dated largess said part of
the healing process and the
rehabilitation of any offender
is forgiveness. That is especial-
ly true, he said, when there has
been an admission of guilt, as
with Mericle.
Heres a man who has
admitted he did wrong, Kelly
said. We as a community need
to accept the fact that he is ask-
ing for forgiveness. And dont
we have a responsibility to
accept that and forgive?
But in the Mericle case,
there seems to be so much
anger attached, he said.
Scripture tells us we should
take a look at the demon in our
own eye before we look at the
splinter in our neighbors eye,
Kelly said. Mercy and forgive-
ness go a lot further to let us be
who we are called to be.
For Misericordias Curran,
that $2.15 million is a crucial
point, as is a $17.75 million
settlement Mericle reached
with about 1,600 juveniles who
claimed they were wrongly
incarcerated by the corrupt
judges at the facilities he built.
If Mericle had resisted those
paybacks and was still making
donations using money he was
obliged to pay back, Curran
said that would be unethical.
Hes made restitution.
The money he has donated
to Wyoming Seminary is not
money that was supposed to
be going somewhere else as
restitution for what hes done,
Curran said.
Future in question
Mericles fate and wheth-
er he can inuence it through
charitable donations
remains unclear.
The developer remains at
liberty. He was expected to
testify in the corruption case
of former state Sen. Raphael
Musto, which was scheduled
for November but delayed
when defense attorneys argued
the octogenarian former law-
maker was too ill to participate
in his defense.
The terms of Mericles like-
ly punishment also remain
unclear.
At the time of his 2009 plea,
it was reported that his charge
carries a maximum sentence of
three years in prison, but that
Mericle likely faced no more
than four to 10 months behind
bars based on federal sentenc-
ing guidelines, and that he
could be eligible for probation
if he continued to cooperate
with prosecutors.
In January 2011, federal
prosecutors led an amend-
ment to the plea agreement
that would increase the sen-
tencing guideline to 12 to
18 months in prison. The
move was based on Mericle
obstructing or impeding the
administration of justice.
Guideline changes must be
approved by a judge, who is
not bound by them.
Peter J. Henning, a professor
at Wayne State University Law
School, is the author of The
Prosecution and Defense of
Public Corruption: The Law &
Legal Strategies. In February,
Henning wrote an article
The Challenge of Sentencing
White-Collar Defendants
that asks whether white-collar
defendants are treated more
favorably than other criminals
when it comes to sentencing.
He wrote that one method
frequently used in white-collar
cases involves letter-writing
campaigns to point out the
many positive attributes of the
defendants. He said the empha-
sis is usually on charitable con-
tributions and close family ties
to show that a reduced punish-
ment reects the sentencing
factor to provide just punish-
ment for the offense.
Henning cited one case in
which a district judge noted
that more than 100 letters
had been sent attesting to the
defendants humble begin-
nings and his many community
and charitable activities, both
before and after the charges in
this case.
Among the reasons for giv-
ing a short sentence was evi-
dence of the defendants strong
community and family involve-
ment, and business expertise
that included starting a new
company achieving growing
success, Henning wrote.
However, Henning said the
appeals court rejected those
grounds as insufcient for
such a signicant departure
from the recommended guide-
lines.
It was troubled by the dis-
trict judges reference to his
work as a reason for giving
a lighter sentence, rejecting
the position that a defendant
should be sentenced lightly
on the asserted ground that
they offer more to society
than those who do not possess
such knowledge and skill,
Henning wrote. There is no
simple answer to what is the
appropriate sentence for any
defendant, and especially for
those who commit business
crimes.
Heidi Havens, spokeswom-
an for U.S. Attorney Peter J.
Smith, said in 2011 that she
could not comment on why the
change was sought. On Friday,
Havens said she could not
comment on what sentencing
guidelines Mericle may face
due to the fact that this is a
still-pending criminal case.
Havens did offer a generic
statement on what federal
judges must take into con-
sideration when sentencing
defendants.
Under the federal sentenc-
ing guidelines, the judge is
required to consider and weigh
a number of factors, including
the nature, circumstances and
seriousness of the offense; the
history and characteristics of
the defendant; and the need
to punish the defendant, pro-
tect the public and provide for
the defendants educational,
vocational and medical needs,
Havens said.
A review of media coverage
of other white-collar sentenc-
ings turns up frequent referenc-
es to defendants lawyers invok-
ing charitable deeds in hopes
of earning their clients reduced
sentences. How much impact
such arguments hold, in combi-
nation with the unique factors
of each case, is another matter.
Other cases
According to The
Associated Press, an attorney
for Grammy-winning singer
Lauryn Hill sought probation
in her $1 million tax-evasion
case earlier this year, argu-
ing Hills charitable works,
her family circumstances and
the fact that the mother of six
paid back the taxes she owed
should merit consideration. In
May, a federal judge sentenced
Hill to three months in prison.
She had faced up to three years
in prison.
Also in May, according to the
AP, Connecticut hedge fund
founder Anthony Chiasson was
sentenced to 6-1/2 years in pris-
on for his role in a $70 million
insider-trading scandal, over
the argument of his lawyers that
the 39-year-old had made signif-
icant charitable contributions.
He had faced a decade behind
bars.
If the history and char-
acteristics of the defendant
to be considered by a judge
may include legitimate chari-
table donations, Misericordias
Curran suggested there is noth-
ing unethical about Mericle
continuing to give to worthy
causes, as he has done, with
that in mind.
Mericles personal motiva-
tions are still left unsaid.
Weve taken an across-the-
board position that because
of our situation, we arent
commenting, attorney Kim
Borland said on behalf of his
client Friday afternoon.
From page 1A
Donations
spending plans are about to run
out, threats are made, compro-
mises are reached and a shut-
down is averted.
If a shutdown does happen, it
would be the rst time in nearly
two decades when a budget
battle between President Bill
Clinton, a Democrat, and the
Republican-controlled Congress
led to much of the federal gov-
ernment being closed for sev-
eral days in late 1995 and early
1996.
As is often the case when
the branches are split between
parties, there are differences
on spending priorities. Since
1976, there have been 17 gov-
ernment shutdowns, said
Timothy F. Kearney, chairman
of the Department of Business
at Misericordia University in
Dallas Township. Clearly, in
both cases each party believes
that they have the public on
their side and will win points
politically.
Kearney said recent ghts
over the debt ceiling, which
led to sequestration earlier this
year, have made major prog-
ress in bringing the decit back
under some sort of control.
With so many federal ofces
located in the region and pro-
grams that rely on federal funds
a government shutdown
could send ripples throughout
the county. While each depart-
ment and agency would deter-
mine its own policies and make
decisions about how to operate,
some decisions have already
been made as to how the shut-
down will be carried out.
Largest employer
The regions largest employer,
the Tobyhanna Army Depot, is
unlikely to be impacted at rst.
We do not anticipate that
a government shutdown, if it
occurs, will have any immedi-
ate impact on Tobyhanna Army
Depot. The depot is funded
through Army Working Capital
Funding, as opposed to direct
appropriation. At present,
Working Capital Fund opera-
tions are exempt from shut-
down, said David Jadick, the
acting public affairs ofcer at
the depot.
Heres a look at the impact a
shutdown could have on some
sectors:
Social Security: While
checks for those currently
receiving Social Security ben-
ets would still be sent during
a shutdown, those applying for
new benets would see a delay.
Travel: Air trafc con-
trollers would not be taken off
duty so ights would continue
to operate as normal. Those
wishing to visit national parks,
national museums, national rec-
reation areas or the national zoo,
however, would be out of luck as
theyd all be forced to close. In
addition, passport requests may
go unprocessed.
Armed service members:
They would continue to serve
but would not be paid. For vet-
erans, benets could be delayed,
though VA hospitals should be
unaffected.
Financial: Banks would
remain open. The IRS will
also continue to operate, and if
youre in a bond buying mood,
you will continue to be able to.
When it comes to Wall Street,
however, the shutdown could
have a major impact.
Mail: The U.S. Postal
Service will keep operating so
mail will continue to be picked
up and delivered.
Federal loans: Need some
money for a mortgage on that
house from the federal govern-
ment? Sorry. Loan for your
small business? Sorry. Both are
impacted by the shutdown.
Courts: Its likely that
courts would remain open,
though cases could be delayed.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey blasted
some in the Republican Party
for putting ideology ahead of
veterans the economy some
people in the Republican Party
are willing to put their ideology
ahead of everything.
Casey chided GOP leaders
and said they should get con-
trol of their party so we dont
lose control of the economy.
Though some are spewing
brimstone over the potential
shutdown, Kearney does not
believe an adverse effect to the
economy is a guaranteed out-
come.
While Washington budget
wrangling makes for good tele-
vision, a delay in increasing
the debt ceiling or a shutdown
is unlikely to be prolonged and
cause harm to the economy, he
said.
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta,
R-Hazleton, voted to defund
Obamacare and tie it to the
spending plan but a shutdown
is not something he supports or
wants to see.
If we were to fail to keep the
government running, too many
people would be hurt, particu-
larly active duty members and
veterans of our military. I am
not willing to do that, Barletta
said. We cannot allow the
government to close its doors
because of a ght over a law
that doesnt work and most
Americans dont want. I urge
my colleagues in the Senate to
heed the calls from the people:
approve the funding of the gov-
ernment, agree with the public
that Obamacare is a bad deal,
and help us get the economy
back on track.

Shutdown
The Tobyhanna Army Depot in Monroe County is the largest employer in the region. A government shutdown would not
immediately impact the installation.
Aimee Dilger | The Times Leader
The Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center would remain open despite a shutdown
of the federal government.
Postman
Frank Rigol
delievers mail
in Wilkes-Barre
on Thursday
afternoon.
Even if their
is a federal
government
shutdown, the
mail will still be
delivered.
Aimee Dilger | The Times Leader
that House Republicans decid-
ed to back would assure routine
funding for government agen-
cies through Dec. 15.
The measure marked some-
thing of a reduction in demands
by House Republicans, who
passed legislation several days
ago that would permanently
strip the health care law of
money while providing funding
for the government.
It also contained signicant
concessions from a party that
long has criticized the health
care law for imposing numerous
government mandates on indus-
try, in some cases far exceeding
what Republicans were willing to
support in the past.
GOP aides said that under
the legislation headed toward
a vote, portions of the health
law that already have gone into
effect would remain unchanged.
That includes requirements for
insurance companies to guar-
antee coverage for pre-existing
conditions and to require chil-
dren to be covered on their par-
ents plans until age 26. It would
not change a part of the law that
reduces costs for seniors with
high prescription drug expens-
es.
Instead, the measure would
delay implementation of a
requirement for all individuals
to purchase coverage or face a
penalty, and of a separate feature
of the law that will create mar-
ketplaces where individuals can
shop for coverage from private
insurers.
The Senate rejected the most
recent House-passed anti-shut-
down bill on a party-line vote
of 54-44 Friday, insisting on a
straightforward continuation
in government funding without
health care-related add-ons.
That left the next step up
to the House with time to
avert a partial shutdown grow-
ing ever shorter.
For a moment at least,
the revised House proposal
papered over a simmering
dispute between the leader-
ship and tea party conserva-
tives who have been more
militant about abolishing the
health law that all Republicans
oppose.

ESSAY CONTEST
Dems may shift campaign focus
Gubernatorial candidates
sniping at GOP incumbent
PETER JACKSON
Associated Press
HARRISBURG
Theres smoke, but no
re yet, in Pennsylvanias
eight-way Democratic race
for governor.
So far, the would-be
nominees are aiming
their campaign vitriol
exclusively at Republican
incumbent Tom Corbett,
even though the real chal-
lenge for each of them is to
convince Democratic vot-
ers that he or she would
make the strongest candi-
date to take on Corbett in
2014.
Still, some notewor-
thy things are happening
publicly and behind the
scenes that will affect the
Democratic campaign and
ignite new debates as the
May 20 primary approach-
es.
One recent development
was state Treasurer Rob
McCords long-expected
conrmation of his candi-
dacy making him the
only statewide elected
ofcial in the race.
Perhaps more impor-
tant, McCords authority
over the disbursement of
state funds puts him in a
unique position to affect
certain executive actions,
such as his refusal earlier
this year to pay millions
of dollars to a company
the Corbett administra-
tion hired under a no-bid
contract to modernize and
manage state websites.
A lot of people are
talking about taking on
Tom Corbett, but Ive
been doing it since he was
elected, boasted McCord,
a former venture capitalist
who was elected treasurer
in his rst election cam-
paign in 2008 and re-elect-
ed last year.
Money is also a press-
ing concern for seri-
ous candidates facing
an eight-month primary
battle, although no one
knows how much is at
stake. Under state law, the
campaigns probably wont
have to begin publicly
reporting their contribu-
tions and expenditures
until January.
That rst campaign
nance report could be a
revealing test of the com-
parative strength of the
candidates. And in a wide-
open race in which union
endorsements are all the
more important, the bet-
ter-nanced campaigns
will be more attractive to
big cash donors and union
leaders weighing whom to
endorse among candidates
who share similar political
views.
Tom Wolf, a wealthy
York businessman and
former state revenue sec-
retary, has set the fundrais-
ing bar high by vowing to
sink at least $10 million
of his own money into the
primary campaign.
U.S. Rep. Allyson
Schwartz, a fth-term
lawmaker from the
Philadelphia area, has said
she began the campaign
with about $3 million left
over from her past cam-
paigns. A key supporter
predicted her fundraising
would be buoyed by con-
tacts she made through her
work on the Democratic
Congressional Campaign
Committee and support
from womens advocacy
groups.
Shes been a national
presence for a while, said
Philadelphia lawyer Mark
Aronchick, a prominent
Democratic Party fundrais-
er and Schwartz supporter.
Also, labor unions that
are a major source of cam-
paign cash for Democrats
are already taking sides.
Schwartz has endorse-
ments from the United
Mine Workers and the
Sheet Metal Workers
Union. The Pennsylvania
Conference of Teamsters
tapped McCord as its
favorite two days after he
announced his candidacy.
Former state environmen-
tal protection secretary
Katie McGinty is backed
by the Pittsburgh transit
workers union.
Among the major unions
still uncommitted is the
largest state employee
union, Council 13 of the
American Federation
of State, County and
Municipal Employees.
Its expected to issue an
endorsement by early
November, said its direc-
tor, David Fillman.
Weve got a lot at stake,
so we will probably be
pulling out all the stops,
he said.
Weve got a lot at

Maureen Jean Cino, 75, of
Manchester, N.J., passed away
at home on Sept. 26, 2013.
Born in Wilkes-Barre, she
was raised in Plymouth, and
graduated from Plymouth High
School in 1956. She later gradu-
ated from Bloomsburg State
College with a Bachelor of Arts
in elementary education.
Afterwards, she followed her
husband to the Middle East,
where she worked at the U.S.
Embassy. They started a fam-
ily and moved to Toms River in
1966, and she worked as a fth-
grade teacher for Toms River
Regional School District for 35
years before retiring in 2000.
She was the recipient of the
South Toms River Elementary
Teacher of the Year award in
1994.
Maureen was an avid bowler
and enjoyed the casino, but
most of all she enjoyed being
with her family. She will be
most remembered for her dedi-
cation to her family and profes-
sion.
Maureens sweet spirit will
forever live on in our hearts.
She was preceded in death
by her son, Vincent James; and
sister, Sharon Barber.
Surviving are her husband,

MOUNT VERNON, Va.
George Washingtons
majestic estate overlook-
ing the Potomac River now
has an added attraction: a
state-of-the-art presiden-
tial library.
The grand opening
Friday of the Fred W.
Smith National Library
for the Study of George
Washington celebrated the
father of our country with
a festive crowd that includ-
ed both U.S. senators from
Virginia, the governor, per-
formances by country sing-
ers and couple Vince
Gill and Amy Grant, and a
keynote by Pulitzer Prize-
winning historian David
McCullough.
The library was
designed to add a scholarly
element to the understand-
ing of the rst president,
who had written in a let-
ter to a friend in 1797 that
he wanted a building on
his property to house his
papers.
If theres anybody who
deserves a presidential
library, its Washington,
said historian Stephen
Knott, professor of nation-
al security affairs at the
U.S. Naval War College
in Newport, R.I., who
has studied the Founding
Fathers. He was our great-
est president. This is 220
years overdue.
The Mount Vernon
Ladies Association, a pri-
vate group that has owned
and operated the estate
since 1858, raised $106
million in private funds
for the library over the last
three years. Philanthropist
Fred W. Smith, chairman
of the Donald W. Reynolds
Foundation, was a leader
of the effort. The founda-
tion contributed $38 mil-
lion for the library in 2010.
This new library
will help us to maintain
and advance George
Washingtons timeless rel-
evance in our fast-changing
world, said Ann Bookout,
regent of the Mount Vernon
Ladies Association.
More than 2 centuries later, George Washington fnally gets a library

MICHAEL J. MISHAK
Associated Press
MIAMI Emboldened
by the Supreme Court
decision that struck down
the heart of the Voting
Rights Act, a growing
number of Republican-
led states are moving
aggressively to tighten
voting rules. Lawsuits
by the Obama adminis-
tration and voting rights
activists say those efforts
disproportionately affect
minorities.
At least ve Southern
states, no longer required
to ask Washingtons per-
mission before changing
election procedures, are
adopting strict voter iden-
tication laws or toughen-
ing existing requirements.
Texas ofcials are bat-
tling the U.S. Justice
Department to put in
place a voter ID law that
a federal court has ruled
was discriminatory. In
North Carolina, the GOP-
controlled Legislature
scaled back early voting
and ended a pre-regis-
tration program for high
school students nearing
voting age.
Nowhere is the debate
more heated than in
Florida, where the chaotic
recount in the disputed
2000 presidential race
took place.
Florida election of-
cials are set to resume
an effort to remove non-
citizens from the states
voting rolls. A purge last
year ended in embarrass-
ment after hundreds of
American citizens, most
of whom were black or
Hispanic, were asked to
prove their citizenship or
risk losing their right to
vote.
Republican leaders
across the South say the
new measures are needed
to prevent voter fraud,
even though such crimes
are rare. Democrats and
civil rights groups say
the changes are political
attacks aimed at minori-
ties and students voting
groups that tend to lean
toward Democrats in
states with legacies of poll
taxes and literacy tests.
In North Carolina, for
example, a state board
of elections survey found
that more than 600,000
registered voters did not
have a state-issued ID, a
requirement to vote under
the states new law. Many
of those voters are young,
black, poor or elderly.
Were in the middle of
the biggest wave of voter
suppression since the
Voting Rights Act was
enacted, said Katherine
Culliton-Gonzlez, direc-
tor of voter protection for
the Advancement Project,
a Washington-based civil
rights group that has
undertaken legal challeng-
es in several states.
For ve decades, states
and localities with a his-
tory of discrimination
had to submit all election
laws, from new congres-
sional district maps to pre-
cinct locations and voting
hours, to federal lawyers
for approval. That prac-
tice ended in June when
the Supreme Court struck
down the provision in the
Voting Rights Act as out-
dated.
Voting rights groups said
recent actions by Southern
states highlight the need
for Congress to retool the
rejected sections of the
landmark 1965 law that
were credited with ensur-
ing ballot access to millions
of blacks, American Indians
and other minorities.
The administration is
using the remaining parts
of the law to bring court
cases.
When Attorney General
Eric Holder announced
a suit last month to place
Texas under federal super-
vision again, he said the
Justice Department would
not allow the high courts
decision to be interpreted
as open season for states
to pursue measures that
suppress voting rights.
Gov. Rick Scott, R-Fla.,
has defended the planned
voter purge, saying his
state has an obligation to
maintain the integrity of
the vote.
I care about your sacred
right to vote, he said.
Your sacred right to vote
should not be diluted by
somebody who does not
have the right to vote.
The effort has become
a campaign issue as the
governor seeks re-election
next year. Former Gov.
Charlie Crist, who is wide-
ly expected to challenge
Scott as a Democrat, has
called the move uncon-
scionable, and Democrats
have painted the action as
an attempt to rally conser-
vatives and disenfranchise
Democratic voters.

Tool of tourism
Both state and local
tourism ofcials have
programs that capitalize
on widespread interest
in Pennsylvanias foliage,
from websites to glossy
brochures promoting
travel itineraries that
take motorists past some
of the most picturesque
displays of autumnal
scenery.
Hall and her ofce
publish a pamphlet with
suggested foliage driving
tours in Luzerne County,
highlighting Dallas and
the Back Mountain, the
West Side, as well as
Mountain Top and White
Haven. It also directs
those looking for ashy
fall colors to recreation
areas, including Wilkes-
Barres River Common
park and the countys
many state parks.
The bureau focuses
its promotion efforts
on people within 200-
mile radius of Luzerne
County, or roughly a
four-hour drive, Hall
said. Their efforts place
particular emphasis on
the greater Philadelphia
area, including the use
of cable television ads, as
well as the Baltimore and
Washington, D.C. areas.
State ofcials, mean-
while, offer a weekly fall
foliage report online, as
well as their own lists of
must-see foliage hotspots,
from Lehigh Gorge State
Park to the Pine Creek
Valley, a Northern Tier
natural attraction often
dubbed the Pennsylvania
Grand Canyon.
VisitPA also offers
a customized Leaf
Peeper road-trip on its
website, consisting of a
four-day, three-night jour-
ney across Pennsylvanias
famed Route 6 along
the Northern Tier, said
Steven Kratz, director
of communications for
the state Department
of Community and
Economic Development,
which oversees tourism.
Local and state ofcials
could not say for sure
how much revenue foliage
generates, but it is an
impactful tourism attrac-
tion for several regions
of Pennsylvania, Kratz
said.
Peak foliage
Peak foliage this year
will be anywhere from
several days to a week
earlier than usual, said
Ed Dix, a state forester.
Many of the Northern
Tier counties will begin
to peak between Tuesday
and Oct. 10, while
Luzerne County and sur-
rounding areas will blaze
forth between Oct. 8 and
14.
Trees in the central
region, including most of
Luzerne County, were at
10 to 20 percent full color
as of Tuesday, when the
most recent state weekly
report was issued.
The weather over the
past couple of weeks has
been the dominant fac-
tor, Dix said, explaining
that bright days followed
by longer, cooler nights
speed up the natural pro-
cesses by which leaves
change color and drop
away.
Warmer fall weather
last year did push the
season back further, Dix
noted, with full color not
arriving in our region
until well into the second
week of October.
Photosynthesis, the
process by which trees
and plants turn energy
from the sun into food, is
enhanced on long, sunny
days, Dix said. It relies on
chlorophyll, a green pig-
ment that allows plants to
absorb light and turn car-
bon dioxide into sugars.
As the days grow short-
er and cooler, photosyn-
thesis slows down and
the declining amount of
nutrients produced are
absorbed by trees as they
prepare to go dormant for
the winter, Dix said.
As the chlorophyll
breaks down in some
leaves, yellow and orange
pigments, which were
already present, become
visible once the dominant
green hues disappear.
With other trees, differ-
ent chemical reactions
actually transform the
leaves from green into
red, purple and other
shades.
Effect of rain
Rain or lack thereof
can affect the process,
but Dix said he does not
believe this summers
dry weather was extreme
enough to alter the pace
of color change, never
approaching drought con-
ditions that could affect
the subterranean water
table from which trees
primarily draw moisture.
According to
AccuWeather, rainfall for
the Wyoming Valley area
is about 8.5 inches below
the average annual rain-
fall to date of 28.5 inches.
These trees are tough.
Theyve been there for 80
to 100 years in most of
our forests, and theyve
been through more severe
(dry spells) than this,
Dix said.

If birds could talk
JOE SYLVESTER
jsylvester@timesleader.com
To photographer Ray Listanski, birds are
always talking.
And he lets them.
Then he shoots them. Their photos, that is.
He and photographer John Goldman, both
members of the Northeast Photography
Club, will show 16 bird photos each at the
Camerawork Gallery in Scranton, beginning
on Friday with a reception from 6 to 8:15
p.m. The show, called This Show Is For The
Birds, will run through Oct. 29 and give
a stage to photos ranging from serious to
humorous.
He (Goldman) takes formal portraits;
I take candid shots, Listanski, of Clarks
Summit, said. I did the captions. I put down
what I think they were saying.
Both of us like nature, Listanski said. I
like all types of photography. To me birds are
always conversing. I thought Id let them talk
about the situation.
Most of Listanskis shots were taken in
Florida. Goldman, of Lake Ariel, said he shot
all of his in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
What Im trying to do with my bird pho-
tography other than keep getting better
and better is show people the beauty and
diversity of nature, Goldman said. Birds are
just one part of it, the outdoors that God cre-
ated for us.
He said what hes showing at Camerawork
is just a small part of a larger collection taken
over about two years.
He does a lot of eagle photography, but for
this show, with a small space and small photo
size all are 8-by-10 prints he felt he
could not adequately show them.
He said Listanski asked him to be a part of
an exhibit at the gallery.
Ray approached me and said, Want to do
a bird show? I said sure, and that was it.
Photographer Rolfe Ross, a partner in
Camerawork, said Listanski and Goldman
met through the photography club.
When they approached us to do a show,
they said they wanted to do it together
because they both had bird photos, Ross
said.
Camerawork Gallery is downstairs in the
Marquis Gallery at the Laundry Building, 515
Center St., Scranton. The public can view the
exhibit during gallery hours, which are 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Photographers guess
what they would say
Sandra Bullocks return to big screen a cosmic thriller
AMY LONGSDORF
For The Times Leader
In Gravity, Sandra Bullock plays
a NASA medical engineer stranded
in outer space. A collision with space
debris puts her and her co-pilot (George
Clooney) out of touch with their dam-
aged ship. For much of the move, shes
forced to oat 375 miles above Earth,
struggling to nd a way to stay alive.
Occasionally, Bullock attempts to
talk herself through the situation,
which gets more and more harrowing
by the minute.
Bullock might not know what it feels
like to be suspended in outer space, but
she certainly could relate to her charac-
ters way with a monologue.
Sadly, Ive learned that I talk to
myself all the time, Bullock says with
a laugh. Not something Im proud
of, but I will literally just narrate, Do
this, get that. Right now, I just do it
to go through my mental list because
Im very list and detail-oriented. When
someone starts talking back, well
know we have problems.
At the moment, Bullock is problem-
free. The actress is coming off the $200
million-grossing The Heat, one of
the most successful lms of her career.
And the 3D Gravity, which opens
Friday, has the makings of a critical
and commercial hit.
Written and directed by Alfonso
Cuaron (Children of Men), Gravity
already has garnered rave reviews dur-
ing its festival run. Variety described
the movie as a nerve-shredding sus-
penser, a daring study in extreme isola-
tion, and one of the most sophisticated
and enveloping visions of space travel
yet realized on screen.
The Hollywood Reporters Todd
McCarthy was just as enthusiastic,
calling the lm the most realistic and
beautifully choreographed lm ever set
in space before adding that Gravity
is a thrillingly realized survival story
spiked with interludes of breath-catch-
ing tension and startling surprise.
When Cuaron rst decided upon the
idea of making Gravity, which he co-
wrote with his son Jonas, he knew he
wanted to be as authentic to the phys-
ics of outer space as possible.
It was clear from the get go that the
actors were going to be oating in zero
gravity, he says. We tried to honor
zero g and zero resistance, meaning
that the characters would not only be
oating but they would be spinning
and stuff. Then just to complicate mat-
ters, we also wanted long uid shots as
well.
And then we started trying to gure
out how to do that.
After originally planning on using a
continually plunging jetliner dubbed
the vomit comet which Howard
employed on Apollo 13, Cuaron even-
tually settled on another device to sim-
ulate weightlessness.
Cuarn and company constructed a
10-by-14-foot cube illuminated by LED
lights. Bullockwas suspendedinside the
contraption via a special harness and
twelve wires. Computer-operated cam-
eras then swirled around her, making it
seem as if she were oating in space.
More than once Bullock has used the
word gruesome to describe the appa-
ratus.
There was some blood and some
blisters, the actress says. It liter-
ally took at least 20 minutes to get
into and out of it. (Once I was) har-
nessed and locked in, I had almost
no control over (my movements).

Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES
With macho-sounding
names like Tough Mudder,
Warrior Dash and the
Spartan Race, obstacle
course races have turned
mud, sweat and tears into
a ood of revenue.
Over the past year,
obstacle races have sur-
passed marathons in popu-
larity, with an estimated
1.6 million participants
paying hefty fees to slosh
through mud pits, crawl
under barbed wire, scale
10-foot walls and plunge
into troughs of ice water.
Course organizers are rak-
ing in millions of dollars in
the process.
But race organizers
and participants say the
adrenaline-pumping races
may have reached a crucial
point, with course design-
ers now forced to dream up
new obstacles and themes
or risk losing the novelty
that has driven the hugely
protable sport.
We are going to have to
continue to be creative,
said Dave Iannone, chief
executive and co-founder
of the Hero Rush, a race
with obstacles designed
to mimic the physical chal-
lenges of being a reght-
er. Everyone is trying to
nd something of a niche.
Its a crucial challenge
because obstacle-course
races draw as many as
13,000 participants per
event, with entry fees of
$65 to $180, plus parking
charges. The race distanc-
es range from three to 12
miles. But the obstacles
are often very similar at
many of the races.
In the past year or so,
a wave of new race orga-
nizers have entered the
fray, hosting disorganized
events with unchalleng-
ing obstacles. Among the
obstacles at the Mud-a-
Palooza race in Camarillo,
Calif., last year were plastic
hula hoops and Styrofoam
cubes.
We have started to
reach a saturation, said
Matt Robinson, race direc-
tor at Red Frog Events,
a Chicago organizer of
obstacle races, including
the Warrior Dash and the
Great Urban Race. That
is why it is important to
continue to reinvent the
Warrior Dash.
To keep adrenaline
junkies happy, a few races
push the danger level to
an extreme. The popu-
lar Tough Mudder races
direct competitors to run
or crawl under live wires,
charged with up to 10,000
volts of electricity, enough
to make you cringe and
scream but not enough to
kill you.
Race organizers
declined to disclose their
prots, but revenues for
many of the events have
surged in the past few
years to include entrance
fees, sponsorships and
merchandise sales. Advil
recently became the of-
cial pain reliever of the
Tough Mudder.
Red Frog Events started
with one obstacle race
and 2,000 runners in 2009
and plans to expand to 50
races in places around the
globe, such as Queensland,
Australia, and Torino,
Italy, with more than
600,000 participants by
the end of this year. The
company reported about
$1 million in revenue in
2009 and approximately
$50 million in 2012.
I dont think you could
have ever imagined that
it would grow as fast as
it did, Robinson said.
People are willing to pay
for such experiences to
escape from reality.
Another hugely success-
ful race organizer, Tough
Mudder, began with three
events and 20,000 partici-
pants in 2010. Last year,
35 Tough Mudder races
drew more than 460,000
participants. Organizers
plan 52 events in 2013
with as many as 700,000
competitors.
The organizers of Tough
Mudder say they are on
track to collect $100 mil-
lion in revenue in 2013.
Its denitely a great
return on investment,
said Tough Mudder Chief
Culture Ofcer Alex
Patterson.
The races appeal to
athletes and thrill seekers
looking for bragging rights
or a new challenge that
surpasses the once-pop-
ular ve- or 10-kilometer
races.
Theyre challenging,
and I love to compete,
said Aracely Rodriguez,
25, a Cal State San Luis
Obispo graduate student
who has competed in
about 15 obstacle races in
the past 18 months.
Attendance numbers
continue to climb, but race
organizers say they must
continue to push the thrills
to new levels by increasing
the distance on some races
and adding more difcult
obstacles on others.
The organizers of the
Spartan Race now host
a three-mile Spartan
Sprint, an eight-mile Super
Spartan and a 12-mile
Spartan Beast. In some
races, competitors who
cant complete an obstacle
must endure a penalty,
such as a plunge into an
ice bath.
The organizer of the
Rugged Maniac races is
pushing the risk factor
even higher by replicating
Pamplonas running of the
bulls in the United States.
The race series, known as
the Great Bull Run, drew
12,000 participants who
sprinted alongside angry
bulls at the rst event in
Virginia in August. The
bull run will swing through
Southern California in
March.
I think its going to be
an arms race, said Rob
Dickens, the chief oper-
ating ofcer of Rugged
Races, who also founded
the Great Bull Run. I
think people will try to dif-
ferentiate the obstacles.
When the obstacle race
trend began a few years
ago, organizers said they
couldnt nd insurance
companies willing to cover
such events. There are no
national safety regulations
for obstacle races, but race
organizers have appeased
the insurance industry
by stafng the races with
emergency medical teams.
They also require runners
to sign long liability waiv-
ers.
New obstacles with
increased risks are now
what drive many competi-
tors to keep returning to
the races.
If its new and not
the same old, same old,
I like that, said Justin
Henderson, a systems
technician from Chino,
who has completed four
obstacle races in the past
few months.
But organizers must
walk a ne line in design-
ing such obstacles.
In April, Avishek
Sengupta, 28, drowned at
a Tough Mudder race in
West Virginia after jump-
ing from a 15-foot-high
Walk the Plank obstacle
to a muddy pit of water
below. No one was charged
in the death, which author-
ities ruled an accident.
As organizers, we take
our responsibility to pro-
vide a safe event to our
participants very seri-
ously, Will Dean, CEO of
Tough Mudder, said in a
statement after the death.
It is believed to be
the fourth death in an
obstacle-course race since
2011.
Some race directors are
moving in another direc-
tion by reducing the risk
factor to appeal to families.
Red Frog Events, for
example, recently expand-
ed its offerings to include a
beer festival and Illuminite
Runs, three-mile nighttime
races with participants
who wield neon glow-
sticks and dance to the
music from live DJs after
the run.
Said Robinson, events
director at Red Frog: Who
knows how long the mud
run fad will go on?
In big-money obstacle races, mud and risk are par for the course

Michele Dougherty, Shan Egan and Kate Solomon make their way down some rocky terrain as part of
their training for a Tough Mudder race in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
To make matters even
more complicated, Cuaron
had to map many of his
shots out beforehand
because so many involved
CGI. Bullock then had
to match her movements
exactly to Cuarons speci-
cations. For some scenes,
her limbs were manipu-
lated by the same puppe-
teers who worked on War
Horse on Broadway.
Id be trying to get my
hand here, and it would
wind up there, the actress,
49, recalls. Then Id have
(one of the crew members)
going, Uh, Sandy, your
hand needs to be right
here, and theres like a
blister coming, and some-
thing is cutting into my leg
as (Im) hanging from this
wire.
In the middle of all that
Bullock also was trying to
deliver a performance.
The puppeteers are
maybe swinging your legs
up, but you could have all
the emotion you wanted,
if you could nd it, com-
ing out of your face,
Bullock says. It was like
I had to match (my body)
physically and timing-wise
(to Cuarons preplanned
visions), but everything (in
my face) needed to be com-
pletely new and organic.
Cuaron has nothing but
praise for what the actress
was able to achieve under
such extreme conditions.
The truth of the mat-
ter is that Sandra trained
so much and rehearsed
so much that when we
were shooting we would
rarely discuss the techni-
cal aspect. Sometimes I
would say, Can you reach
a little higher? but most of
the time we were just talk-
ing about performance and
emotion. That was her con-
stant concern and preoccu-
pation.
Gravity came to
Bullock at a time when she
was, interesting enough,
eager to take a break from
Hollywood. After her Oscar
win for The Blind Side,
she underwent a messy,
very public split from her
husband, reality TV star
Jesse James. She also was
in the process of adopting
her son, Louis, whos now
three.
With the exception of a
small role in Extremely
Loud and Incredibly
Close, Bullock had been
away fromacting for almost
three years when Cuaron
ew down to the actresss
home in Austin, Texas, to
discuss Gravity. (Even
though it came out rst,
The Heat was shot after
Gravity.)
Cuaron says Gravity is
about overcoming adver-
sity and that during that
rst meeting with Bullock,
they spoke of almost noth-
ing else.
When Sandra and I met
for the rst time, we talked
about (adversity) in life,
the lmmaker notes. Our
connection, before we even
began talking creatively,
was about life. We had an
understanding about big
things in life. That was part
of the process, at least for
me.
While Bullock originally
was reluctant to go back to
work, she wound up saying
yes to Cuaron.
I had such envy of this
movie but I didnt know
how it was going to work,
Bullock says. Then if it
was going to work, I won-
dered, What do I have to
offer? I didnt know. But
Alfonso knew in his head
what he wanted to say.

El i t e Deal er
NBC Sports Network
is facing a urry of criti-
cism over an episode of the
outdoor sports program
Under WildSkies inwhich
a National Rie Association
strategist shoots and kills an
African elephant.
In the episode that aired
Sunday night, host Tony
Makris and a guide stalk an
elephant in the Okavango
Delta of Botswana a
mecca for elephant hunt-
ing, according to a narra-
tor.
Makris boasts of his pos-
itively lethal rie and the
.577 ammunition (made
to kill ivory) used to take
down the beast. Hiding in
a bush, he res two shots
a the cheeky pachyderm,
who runs away. Makris and
his guide eventually catch
up to the elephant, killing it.
They later celebrate the kill
with a bottle of Champagne.
In response to public out-
cry, NBC Sports Network
has decided not to rebroad-
cast this particular episode
but will continue to air
Under Wild Skies.
The episode has sparked
an online petition calling
for NBC Sports to cancel
the NRA-sponsored Under
Wild Skies. The series is
not produced by the net-
work but is whats known
as a time buy, in which
outside producers pay to
air content not unlike an
infomercial.
Weve listened to our
viewers and will not air that
particular episode of Under
Wild Skies again. Were
also taking a close look at
our internal standards as
part of this process because
this content should not have
aired, the network said in
a statement. While this
form of hunting is legal,
we understand that many
viewers nd it objection-
able. As a result we are tak-
ing an aggressive approach
towards objectionable con-
tent within future episodes
of Under Wild Skies and
other series.
As detailed by The
Washington Post earlier
this year, Makris is a public
relations strategist who has
helped manage the NRAs
image for the past 30 years.
In the 1990s, he helped
install Charlton Heston as
president of the lobbying
group.
More recently, his rm,
Mercury Group, a subsid-
iary of the advertising and
public relations agency
Ackerman McQueen, was
behind a highly contro-
versial NRA ad accusing
President Barack Obama of
hypocrisy for his skepticism
over the groups proposal
to put armed guards in
schools across the country.

Five things you need to knowabout revamped comments on YouTube
YouTube is known for drawing users
who like to leave vile and mean com-
ments on videos, but now, the Google-
owned video service is rolling out
changes that could help weed out such
commentary.
So how exactly is YouTube changing
the way users leave comments or read
them? Heres what you need to know.
Most recent comment
no longer at top
Comments on YouTube can be tough
to follow because theyre primarily
displayed based on the time they were
posted. The most recent comments y
up to the top. That means more inter-
esting comments easily can be lost
while nasty comments from others can
stay at the top, as long as they were just
posted.
When it comes to the conversations
happening on YouTube, recent does not
necessarily mean relevant, YouTube
said in a blog announcing its changes.
Going forward, comments will no
longer be displayed based on when they
were posted, YouTube said.
See comments from
those you care about
Instead, comments will now be dis-
played based on whether they may
interest users.
Comments posted by the video cre-
ator, prominent personalities, and
users who are in your Google+ circles
will oat to the top. Users also will see
conversations with strong user engage-
ment, so any interesting things strang-
ers are saying also will be near the top
of the comments you see.
Limit visibility
of your comments
Users also will be able to select who
they make their comments visible too.
With this change, users can decide to
make their comments public, visible
to just the people in their Google+ cir-
cles or limited to just a couple of their
friends.
This change may encourage more
users to engage YouTube videos with
comments.
New moderation tools
Video creators also are getting new
tools to help them moderate the com-
ments on their posts. With the chang-
es, creators can now block comments
with certain words from posting before
rst being reviewed. Additionally, cre-
ators also will be able to automatically
approve or block comments from spe-
cic users.
Coming to all this year
YouTube said the changes to its
comments section will begin rolling
out soon. Users will start seeing the
changes over the course of the coming
months, and by the end of the year, the
update will apply to all the videos on
YouTube.

RENE RODRIGUEZ
The Miami Herald
Doctor Sleep by
Stephen King; Scribner
(544 pages, $30)

Mrs. Massey, the decom-
posing woman from Room
217, shows up on page ve.
Tony, the little boy who lives
inside Danny Torrances
mouth, appears soon after-
wards. And REDRUM is just
around the corner. Stephen
Kings eagerly awaited
sequel to his seminal 1977
novel The Shining his
most popular work and one
of his best picks up imme-
diately after the end of the
rst book.
The young Danny and
his mother Wendy received
a large settlement from the
corporate owners of the
Overlook Hotel and wound
up living in Tampa. The
Overlooks former head chef,
Dick Halloran, lives in Key
West and drops in on them
fromtime to time. The mem-
ories of that horrible winter
when Dannys alcoholic
dad Jack lost his mind and
went after his wife and son
with a croquet mallet
are still fresh. And some of
the ghosts and monsters
that terrorized the family
at the Colorado resort have
followed them to the East
Coast.
Anyone who knows The
Shining only from Stanley
Kubricks lm adaptation,
which made radical depar-
tures from the text, may be a
bit confused at rst. But after
that brief prologue, Doctor
Sleep jumps ahead two
decades and sets out on its
own narrative path. Wendy,
a lifelong smoker, has died
of lung cancer. Danny, who
is now 30 and goes by Dan,
has become his fathers son,
an alcoholic loser who cant
hold down a job. In one of
the books best and earliest
chapters, Mama, he wakes
up hung over in the shabby
apartment of a woman
whose name he can barely
remember, his face blood-
ied and bruised, his wallet
empty, trying to gure out
where he is.
There was a coffee table
in front of the sofa. On it was
an ashtray lled with butts, a
baggie lled with white pow-
der, and a People magazine
with more blow scattered
across it. Beside it, complet-
ing the picture, was a dollar
bill, still partly rolled up. He
didnt know how much they
had snorted, but judging by
how much still remained, he
could kiss his ve hundred
dollars goodbye.
King, who has publicly
discussed his voracious
cocaine and alcohol abuse
in the 1980s, writes about
addiction from the inside in,
with the authority and detail
of someone who survived
it. When Danny suddenly
spots an 18-month-old boy
in diapers trotting toward
the drugs on the coffee
table shouting Canny! and
reaching for the cocaine, the
moment is as terrifying as
anything in all of Kings nov-
els. Once again, the writer
is able to conjure up real-life
horrors as scary as make-
believe ones.
His knack for nding the
dark and ominous in every-
day situations has always
been a key element of Kings
success. His ability for keep-
ing even the most outlandish
scenarios grounded in reality
is critical to Doctor Sleep,
which turns out to be much
more like Firestarter, an
action-thriller tinged with
science ction, than the
hair-raising horrors of The
Shining. The book centers
on a band of traveling psy-
chic vampires who call them-
selves The True Knot, keep
a home base on the grounds
where the Overlook once
stood and roam the roads
in RVs, looking to feed on
people gifted with Dannys
shining powers a com-
bination of telepathy and
the ability to see the future.
The group is led by a beauti-
ful 6-foot woman known as
Rose OHara, who is fond
of wearing a top hat and
whose human form is a dis-
guise for a ghastly monster
with a gaping maw bearing
only one enormous, gnarled
tooth. Kings genius stroke
his way of making these
villains frightening instead of
cartoonish is to make the
Knots most favored victims
children.
And if you happen to be
one of those unfortunate peo-
ple whos ever lost a kid
nothing left but a bike in the
vacant lot down the street,
or a little cap lying in the
bushes at the edge of a near-
by stream you probably
never thought of them. Why
would you? No, it was prob-
ably some hobo. Or (worse
to consider, but horribly
plausible) some sick (exple-
tive) from your very own
town, maybe your very own
neighborhood, maybe even
your very own street, some
sick killer pervo whos very
good at looking normal and
will go on looking normal
until someone nds a clatter
of bones in the guys base-
ment or buried in his back-
yard. Youd never think of
the RV People, those midlife
pensioners and cheery older
folks in their golf hats and
sun visors with appliqued
owers on them.
When the group learns of
the existence of Abra, a little
girl Danny has befriended
who has extraordinary shin-
ing powers, they head out on
a cross-country trip to New
Hampshire to capture her.
The bulk of Doctor Sleep is
the kind of exciting and elab-
orate chase adventure King
excels at crafting. But the
author, who is now 65 and
has perhaps grown kinder
and less merciless with age,
rarely writes novels these
days that end with a devas-
tating nale (think Cujo or
The Dead Zone). You read
Doctor Sleep in the same
furious rush with which
most people read The
Shining, but the stakes are
much lower, and the ending
is never really in doubt.
Although the book con-
tains some profoundly dis-
turbing passages (including
the Knots prolonged torture
and murder of a little boy),
Doctor Sleep is never all
that scary. The book is best
at depicting how even the
most damaged people can
rebuild their lives, as long as
they are willing to put in the
work a theme that gives
the novel an autobiographi-
cal air. The title refers to the
job Dan gets at a hospice,
where he uses his powers
to help comfort the dying
as they make their way into
the afterlife. That may sound
hokey, but King makes those
sequences strangely affect-
ing, even moving.
In the latter stage of this
remarkably prolic writers
career, his trademark pen-
chant for ghastly, bloody
horror is gradually being
overshadowed by humane,
heartfelt compassion.

Sequel toThe Shining centers on a diferent breed of monster
Anyone who knows The Shining only fromStanley Kubricks filmadaptation, which made radical
departures from the text, may be a bit confused by Dr. Sleep at first. But after a brief prologue,
Stephen Kings newest novel jumps ahead two decades and sets out on its own narrative path.

HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Ditch your well-laid plans,
because its time to be
playful and spontaneous.
Youll like where you land
when youre not trying
to go anywhere in
particular.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Someone is starting to
think you offer a combina-
tion of traits that cant be
found in any other person
and are therefore irre-
placeable. That person is
correct.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
No one influences others
by trying to be like them,
but someone very clever
might begin there, just to
fit in, and then slowly lead
in new directions from the
inner ranks.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Dont overestimate the
confidence of others.
People are much more
fragile than you think. You
state your purpose and
expect that others will do
the same, but they might
be too shy or intimidated
to do so.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
eyes are open to the
wonder in even the
routine things, relation-
ships and people around
you. You will encounter
something so beautiful
that you want to protect it
with all of your might and
light.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Perhaps you will not be as
influential as usual over
those wildcard rebel types
in your life and realm. Do
they deserve your forgive-
ness? Thats debatable,
but forgive them anyway
because you deserve
peace.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
The day has a confessional
quality, and people will
admit things to you that
perhaps you would rather
not hear. You have more
presence of mind than
most. What exactly do you
want them to know about
you?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
The people around you
may not share your excite-
ment about certain things,
but they definitely appreci-
ate that you have diverse
interests. Dont stop
exploring.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). You can tell
when someone is listening
to you and when they
are just waiting for you
to finish speaking. There
is no pleasure in talking
to a person who cannot
or will not connect
with you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). Creativity helps
you avoid the tedium that
challenges your sign today.
If youre not being cre-
ative, you will be absorb-
ing someone elses creativ-
ity through art, design or
science.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Saying sorry doesnt
put things back the way
they were before, but it
can put closure on the
situation, which is quite
helpful and sometimes
necessary if you want to
begin anew.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You may not like whats
going on today, but dont
give up on it before things
change. First the tide goes
out as far as it will, and
then it turns. Hang on for
the turning.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY
(Sept. 29). You polish
your charm and put
your best foot forward in
October, and you win a job
for your effort. A friend-
ship changes in tone, and
youll like the way things
develop. Rehearse your
message, sales pitch or
act through November
and December, because
youll have many chances
to influence people with it
in 2014. Pisces and Aries
people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 9, 40,
21, 1 and 12.

Building up Bimini
Resort project opens up tiny archipelago to the world
BEN FOX
Associated Press
BIMINI, Bahamas
Every time a cruise ship
docks in Bimini, the popu-
lation of this tiny archi-
pelago just 50 miles off
the coast of Miami could
nearly double.
That may be protable
for a place that lives off
tourism. But many worry
the recent launch of a new
cruise line disgorging
hundreds of visitors each
day could be too much of
a good thing.
The ship is one com-
ponent of a global casino
companys project to bring
unprecedented waves of
tourists to Bimini, which
has long deed change.
Some fear it will destroy a
marine environment teem-
ing with sh and coral
and ruin a diving and
sport-shing capital of the
world.
Its also provoking
somewhat of an existential
crisis, posing a challenge
to Biminis identity as a
rustic and hard-to-reach
getaway, known as a haunt
of Ernest Hemingway and
the setting for a tryst that
ended a U.S. presidential
run.
Unless you are a sher-
man, a diver or a drunk
there was no reason to
come to Bimini. But they
are changing that, said
dive-shop operator Neal
Watson. Its getting to be
a different place.
Changes are com-
ing fast. Malaysia-based
Genting Group is spend-
ing at least $300 million
on Resorts World Bimini,
quickly becoming the
largest employer in the
cluster of islands and cre-
ating sharp new demand
for housing. Working in
partnership with a Florida
developer, the company
opened a casino in June,
expects to nish a 350-
room hotel by Christmas
and 50 luxury villas a
month later on their 700
acres of North Bimini.
The company has plans
for shopping, restaurants
and nightclubs, is consid-
ering a second hotel and is
in the process of upgrad-
ing the airport to accom-
modate larger planes.
Its created more jobs,
of course, and you know,
it is keeping people
busy, said Edith Romer
Johnson, who sells lobster
pizza at a shop outside
the resort. And the more
money we have on the
island, the more it goes
around.
The Bahamian govern-
ment has welcomed the
project, but critics say the
benets come at too great
a cost.
The Bahamas National
Trust, a non-govern-
mental environmental
organization created by
Parliament, as well as
researchers at the Bimini
Biological Field Station,
where scientists come
from around the world
to research a thriving
shark population, say run-
off from a proposed golf
course would destroy a
protected area of man-
grove that acts as a nurs-
ery to the sh, conch and
lobster that make the
place a destination.
A secondary issue is
the 1,000-foot jetty that
Genting will build to
shorten the time it takes
to get off and on its ship,
which began service in
July. Opponents say the
project will damage coral
reefs; a company ofcial
says it complies with envi-
ronmental regulations and
that the site was chosen
specically to minimize
any threat.
Genting, which has been
seeking to build a casino
in downtown Miami amid
opposition, insists the golf
course is still under con-
sideration and would be
built only if it can be done
in an environmentally sen-
sitive way.
We are not here to ruin
what Bimini is; we are not
here to ruin the water;
were not here to ruin the
pristine mangroves, the
quaintness of the island,
Dana Leibovitz, president
of Resorts World Bimini,
said on a recent afternoon
at the edge of the casino,
which was open but large-
ly empty. We want to
integrate. We want to be
part of the island, and we
want to continue for that
to be the main draw to the
island.
Bimini only has a full-
time population of about
1,600 about the size of
a full-capacity cruise ship
and has avoided mass
tourism because of scarce
air service and the pass-
ing Gulf Stream, which
makes the crossing from
South Florida too rough
for small vessels much of
the year.
For Eric Carey, execu-
tive director of the
Bahamas National Trust,
the Resorts World project
is excessive for a place
so small you can traverse
the main island of North
Bimini in a few minutes
in a golf cart, rarely losing
sight of the ocean in both
directions.
Everyone understands
Edith Romer Johnson, owner of Ediths Pizza, serves one of her lobster pizzas, in Bimini, Bahamas.
Changes are coming fast to Bimini. Malaysia-based Genting Group is spending at least $300 million
on Resorts World Bimini, quickly becoming the largest employer in the cluster of islands and creating
sharp new demand for housing.

eries are the backdrop for
the countrys search for its
next Top Chef.
Bravos 11th season of
the hit reality TV food
competition show was
lmed in and around the
city. Earlier in the week,
some of New Orleans own
top chefs walked a red
carpet for a special pre-
premiere screening of the
show, which debuts on the
cable network channel on
Wednesday.
Chef Emeril Lagasse,
who returns this season as
a judge, said the season is
sure to be different from
any other.
Its going to be a very
interesting season because
I think a lot of this new tal-
ent maybe havent worked
with alligator, maybe
havent worked with tur-
tle, he said. The culture
and cuisine here is over
200 years old. You cant
say that about a lot of cit-
ies. Its really amazing.
Chef John Besh, who
also served as a guest
judge on two of this sea-
sons episodes, praised his
home state and the shows
coming season.
What we have here
is really special, said
Besh, who owns several
New Orleans restaurants,
including Restaurant
August and Domenica.
We have the only indig-
enous urban cuisine in the
country, and to share it
with an audience of mil-
lions is really special.
The show pits contes-
tants competing in various
food preparation scenarios,
and they have to survive
weekly eliminations for
the honor of being named
the nations Top Chef.
It will include glimpses
inside Lagasses restaurant
kitchens, Beshs bayou-
side home and kitchen and
modest places such as Cafe
Reconcile, which grew in
popularity after Hurricane
Katrina when its kitchen
was spared ooding.
Cafe Reconcile was
among the rst restaurants
to reopen after the 2005
storm. Its also been cel-
ebrated for its mission to
train high-school students
in at-risk neighborhoods
for work in the restaurant
industry. It serves up New
Orleans specialties such
as red beans and rice and
gumbo.
Several contestants
walked the carpet among
the veteran chefs, but it
remained unclear who
would survive the rst cut.
The screening stopped
short of revealing who
would be eliminated.
The shows executive
producer, Matt Reichman,
said prior to the red car-
pet that one episode was
shot with a focus on the
citys ongoing recovery
from Katrina. But the city
has provided many other
storytelling opportuni-
ties, such as its rich culi-
nary traditions, its history
and music. Among those
included in the series
is Kermit Rufns, the
jazz trumpeter known to
cook up eats on a giant,
curbside grill outside his
New Orleans night club
between sets.
The competition is
nuts, Reichman said.
The chefs are talented
and erce, but theres a
layer this season that cap-
tures the atmosphere of
being in New Orleans that
was a lot of fun. It really
is an embarrassment the
riches we had access to.
Besh said he appreciates
that the show ventured
beyond New Orleans, to
bayou-side communities
such as Latte, Chalmette
and north of Lake
Pontchartrain.
Our food ways dont
end at the city limits, he
said. You have to go out to
the bayou, out to the coun-
try, to understand where
our food comes from.
Other New Orleans
chefs making appearances
in the series include Leah
Chase, John Folse and
Susan Spicer.
The show is an Emmy
and James Beard award-
winning series. Previous
host cities include New
York, San Francisco,
Seattle, Los Angeles,
Miami, Chicago and Las
Vegas.
Mark Romig, chief exec-
utive of the New Orleans
Tourism Marketing Corp.,
said it was only a matter of
time before the show land-
ed in New Orleans.
Food is one of the top
reasons people visit New
Orleans, he said.
The show premieres at 9
p.m. CDT on Wednesday.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069
9/29
DEAR ABBY
Mom is proud to share
story of sons adoption
Dear Abby:
In response
to the Aug.
13 letter from
the adop-
tive mom in
Indianapolis,
we, too, are sometimes ques-
tioned about our son. I dont
find it at all offensive, and
I encourage her to view it
from a different perspective.
Just as mothers enjoy tell-
ing stories about their preg-
nancy and delivery, I relish
talking about how our son
came to be part of our fami-
ly. I have talked openly about
it to strangers in front of my
son since he was a toddler.
I tell them how amazing it
is that a mother could love
her child so much that she
would be willing to give him
to us so he could have a bet-
ter life than she could offer.
By not shying away from
the topic, my son has seen
that his adoption doesnt
make us uncomfortable, and
as a result, its something he
is comfortable with. Our son
is full of confidence because
he knows how much joy he
has brought to our lives.
Real Parent in Colorado
Dear Real Parent: Thank
you for writing. My office
was flooded with comments
from adoptive parents and
adopted children, but not all
of them were as positive as
yours. Why do you need to
know? was frequently cited
as a way to deflect unwel-
come questions about why
the biological parents placed
the child for adoption, as
was, Ill forgive you for ask-
ing that question if you for-
give me for not answering.
Many also prefer to say,
That is my childs story
and hell know it and share
it when and if he thinks it
is appropriate. My favorite
was, We dont discuss such
intimacies. Have you told
your children the details of
THEIR conception?
Readers, thank you all for
sharing.
Dear Abby: I have been in
an on-again-off-again, long-
distance relationship with a
guy for a year and a half. I
have broken up with him and
taken him back six times. It
is always for the same rea-
son: We are not compatible
as a romantic couple.
I have explained that we
would be better as friends,
but when I try to leave, he
cries and begs me not to go.
Im afraid he could be suicid-
al, based on past reactions.
I love him as a friend and
I want him to be with some-
one who can love him the
way he wants to be loved.
How do I let him down easy,
if there is even such a thing?
Im afraid I might ruin his
life.
I guess my question is,
when you know in your gut
that things wont work out,
when is it OK to throw in
the towel?
Perplexed in Pensacola
Dear Perplexed: After six
breakups, your long-distance
romance is well past its expi-
ration date. When there is a
lack of chemistry between a
couple, its no ones fault and
its usually a deal-breaker.
The problem with letting
someone down the way
youre trying to is that it pro-
longs the pain.
Threats of suicide if a ro-
mance is unsuccessful are at-
tempts to control the partner
who wants to leave through
guilt. The time to throw in
that towel is NOW.
Dear Abby: When did it
become acceptable to ask for
a doggie bag after an elegant
dinner in a friends home?
Im known as an excellent
cook. I entertained eight
guests in my home last night
and served expensive meat,
an accompanying salad, veg-
etables and a great dessert.
They wanted the leftovers! I
thought if they had the nerve
to ask, they were welcome to
the goodies. Would you?
Hostess With the Mostest
Dear Hostess: Would I
what? Ask for the leftovers
or give them? To ask for
leftovers in someones home
is rude, and I wouldnt do
it although some hosts do
offer them to guests. If you
preferred to keep the left-
overs, you should have said
no with a smile, of course.

that all of our islands rely
on tourism, Carey said.
But when one thinks about
going beyond whats there
now, with a golf course and
the jetty, well that borders
on being out of scale.
Thousands have come
since the cruise ship ser-
vice began operating, but
Joseph Roberts, a com-
mercial sherman and
proprietor of Joes Conch
Shack, hasnt seen enough
new customers to allay
concerns that develop-
ment will contaminate
the mangroves that par-
tially encircle Bimini.
Ive got three grandsons,
and I hope that one day
one or two of them could
be shermen and make
a decent living, Roberts
said as he pulled a giant
sea snail from its shell and
chopped it for salad. What
are they going to have if
you destroy everything?
This is a place with a
colorful history. In the
colonial era, it was a hide-
out for pirates who stalked
treasure-laden Spanish
ships coming from South
and Central America and
the Caribbean. During
Prohibition, liquor was
legal in what was then
the British Bahamas, and
Bimini was a source of
booze for South Florida.
Bimini also has seen
its share of glamor.
Hemingway visited in
1935 and then returned for
the summers of 1936 and
1937, writing part of To
Have and Have Not while
there, according to the text
of an exhibit in a small
museum in Alice Town.
Other famous visitors
included Martin Luther
King Jr., Sammy Davis Jr.,
Judy Garland and Lucille
Ball, who stayed at the
famed Bimini Big Game
Club.
Bimini won fame again
when the public learned
that Gary Hart, a leading
Democratic presidential
candidate in the 1988 U.S.
election, had taken his
mistress, Donna Rice, to
Bimini, where they were
captured in a now-infa-
mous photo, prompting
him to drop out of the race.
Cruise ships have
stopped offshore in the
past, and ferry service has
been tried from Florida.
But Resorts World Bimini
Bay is unprecedented, and
some Biminites and visi-
tors question whether the
venture can compete with
other attractions, includ-
ing Baha Mar, a $3.4 bil-
lion hotel-and-casino proj-
ect under construction
in Nassau, the Bahamian
capital.
Genting projects the
number of visitors to
Bimini will grow from
70,000 last year to 400,000
in 2014, which is likely
to produce ripple effects
throughout the local
economy, a fact welcomed
by Biminites like Robert
Saunders, who works at a
local hotel.
There are people who
dont want any progress
anywhere, Saunders said.
There can be downsides
and upsides, but I see more
upsides.

A construction worker stands on the expanded dock for Resorts World Bimini resort. Amid the quickly coming changes, there is also an uneasiness about what may happen to the delicate ecosystem and rough-around-the-edges atmosphere

Postseason baseball returns to Pittsburgh
JOE KAY
AP Baseball Writer
CINCINNATI Hundreds of
Pirates fans stood, twirled their
towels and chanted Lets Go Bucs!
as Jay Bruce hit a grounder for the
nal out, setting up a playoff game
in Pittsburgh.
Baseball, this time.
Neil Walker hit two of Pittsburghs
six homers its biggest power
surge in six years and the Pirates
clinched home-eld advantage for
the NLs wild card playoff game by
beating the Cincinnati Reds 8-3
Saturday.
Pittsburgh will host the Reds on
Tuesday night in the Pirates rst
playoff appearance in 21 years.
Pittsburgh went 50-31 at PNC Park,
the third-best home record in the
NL, and wanted to make that long-
awaited playoff return at home.
They got what they wanted. The
postseason will start at PNC Park.
Its going to be a really exciting
time, Walker said. Something a lot
of people havent experienced with
Pirate baseball. I imagine its going
to be Steeler-esque on Tuesday.
The Reds will go with Johnny
Cueto (5-2) in the one-game play-
off against left-hander Francisco
Liriano (16-8). Mat Latos was on
schedule to start for Cincinnati,
but manager Dusty Baker said hes
developed a sore arm.
The Pirates won ve of nine
games against the Reds at PNC Park
this season.
The important thing for me is
getting the guys home and playing
in a park where we won 50 games
and giving our fans a taste of post-
season baseball, manager Clint
Hurdle said.
Pittsburgh hit ve homers off
Bronson Arroyo (14-12), who
had never given up that many in a
game in his career. Walker homered
twice off the right-hander, Andrew
McCutchen and Pedro Alvarez
also hit solo homers, and Marlon
Byrd had a two-run shot that ended
Arroyos outing in the fth and
made it 6-3.
Latos isnt the only Reds starter
whos hurting. Arroyo said his back
started bothering him Saturday.
It locked up right before the
game, Arroyo said. I was in the
tunnel. It was like I was being
stabbed in the ribs and I couldnt
swivel from side to side.

Georgia outscores LSU
in wild SEC showdown
PAUL NEWBERRY
AP Sports Writer
ATHENS, Ga. Aaron Murray threwfour
touchdown passes, including a 25-yarder to
Justin Scott-Wesley with 1:47 remaining, and
No. 9 Georgia rallied to beat No. 6 LSU44-41
in a thrilling game between Southeastern
Conference powerhouses Saturday.
The Bulldogs (3-1, 2-0 SEC) completed
their opening-month run through a gauntlet
of top 10 teams with a victory that propelled
them back into the thick of the national
championship race.
LSU (4-1, 1-1) got a career-best 372 yards
passing from former Georgia quarterback
Zach Mettenberger in his return to Athens,
and the Tigers went ahead 41-37 on Jeremy
Hills 8-yard touchdown run with 4:14 to go.
But that was plenty of time for Murray
and the high-powered Bulldogs on a day
when neither defense had much success. He
completed three straight passes to quickly
move the Bulldogs into LSU territory, and
freshman J.J. Green broke off an 18-yard run
to the Tigers 25. Then it was Scott-Wesley,
breaking wide open behind the secondary to
haul in a pass and tiptoe just inside the pylon
for the winning score.
Murray ran for Georgias other touchdown
on a sneak and nished with 298 yards pass-
ing in Georgias second victory over a top 10
teamafter a season-opening loss to Clemson.
Two out of three against top 10 oppo-
nents? Georgia will take it.
About 10 minutes after the game, doz-
ens of Georgia players ran back on the
eld to celebrate with their fans along
the famed hedges at Sanford Stadium.
Millionaires
steal Dallas
victory hopes
PAUL SOKOLOSKI
psokoloski@timesleader.com
DALLAS - Just when the Dallas Mountaineers were
planning to put together a last-gasp, game-tying drive,
Brice Harris got in the way.
Then the Williamsport defensive back extraordinaire
did it again.
For the second straight week, Harris returned an
interception for a touchdown, then came up with his
second interception in two minutes Saturday to seal
Williamsports 21-7 victory over Dallas.
I dont have a secret, Harris grinned. Thats what
I do, I play coverage.
In the end, he had the luckless Mountaineers (0-5)
covering their eyes.
Just after Dallas hit a big 15-yard pass to convert a
rst down and keep its comeback hopes going, Harris
stepped in front of another throw from his cornerback
DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
DALLAS TWP. In the
fourth quarter, with Wilkes
pinned at its 2-yard line and
holding a three-point lead,
the near-capacity crowd at
Mangelsdorf Field was feeling
that Misericordias rst win in
school history wasnt too far
away.
The Colonels had an upcom-
ing second-and-38, but they
were determined to not be the
rst casualty for the Cougars.
With the help of a 59-yard punt
by Jordan Fredo and a big sack
by Nick Kocman, the Colonels
had Misericordia back on its
own 9 and turned that eld
position battle into 16 unan-
swered points to keep the
Cougars out of the win column
with a 33-14 victory.
Just coming out and taking
it to Misericordia felt really
good, said Wilkes quarterback
Taylor Young, who started his
rst collegiate game.
The freshman signal caller
had a near awless game and
gave the team a much-needed
boost with incumbent start-
ing QB Tyler Berntsen out
for the season. The freshman
completed 14 of his 21 passes,
throwing for 183 yards and
three touchdowns with just
one interception. The trio of
TD tosses all went to receivers
and was the rst time this sea-
son any Wilkes wideout caught
a scoring pass. Two of them
went to fellow freshman David
Claybrook, who hauled in a
game-high seven receptions for
107 yards.
During practice this week
weve been working together
after practice with routes,
getting extra time in and it
showed out here on the eld
today, Young added.
Said Wilkes coach Frank
Sheptock about his new
QB-WR duo: David is a good
receiver and as him and Taylor
get on the same page, thats
going to be a very dynamic
duo.
The rapport between the two
showed in the fourth quarter
when Claybrooks second TD
reception came on the drive
after Misericordia had to punt
from its 9. The 32-yard strike
where Young found Claybrook
in the middle of the eld
extended the Wilkes (2-2 over-
all, 1-2 MAC) lead to 24-14
with 10:35 left in the game.
There was still time for
the Cougars (0-4, 0-3) to get
back in the contest. But after
three plays on their next drive
from their 27, coach Mark
Ross decided to go for it on
fourth-and-1. QB Jeff Puckett
ran a keeper but the Wilkes
defense didnt bend as the play
went for no gain, giving the
Colonels great eld position.
Jordan Fredo made his second
eld goal of the game, putting
Wilkes in front by 13 with 6:27
left.
The Cougars still had time
to string together a few scor-
ing drives. And once again, the
Wilkes defense came through
forcing Misericordia to go
for it on fourth-and-6 from its
30. The completion to Robin
Custodio fell a yard shy.
The Wilkes defense also
clamped down on Puckett, who
entered the game as the leading
rusher in the MAC with 526
yards and six rushing TDs. But
Wilkes defense clamps down
Colonels hold

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Blake
Bell threw a 54-yard touch-
down pass to Sterling Shepard
in the fourth quarter and No.
14 Oklahoma jumped to a two-
touchdown lead in the opening
3 minutes and beat No. 22 Notre
Dame 35-21 on Saturday.
It was the Sooners second
win over the Fighting Irish in 11
meetings.
The Sooners had three inter-
ceptions that led to TDs, includ-
ing a 24-yard score by linebacker
Corey Nelson. Damien Williams,
suspended the previous game
against Tulsa for violating team
rules, added an 11-yard TD run
after an interception by line-
backer Frank Shannon as the
Sooners went ahead 14-0.
Bell threw a 26-yard TD pass
to Lacoltan Bester to cap an
88-yard drive after an intercep-
tion by cornerback Julian Wilson

Mettenberger had three touch-
downs on 23-of-37 passing, con-
tinually burning the Bulldogs
on third down. He completed a
25-yard pass on Odell Beckham
on third-and-22 to improbably
extend an LSU drive that led to
Hills go-ahead touchdown.
eorgia did plenty of damage on
the ground in the rst half, but
star running back Todd Gurley
sustained an apparent left ankle
injury on a 25-yard run. He didnt
return, watching the second half
while wearing a windbreaker and
walking boot.
The Bulldogs werent nearly
as effective on the ground with
Keith Marshall handling the load,
but Murray and his receivers took
up the slack. Chris Conley had
ve catches for 112 yards and
a touchdown. Michael Bennett
hauled in a pair of scoring passes.
Georgia nished with 494
yards, though the bulk of those
came in a back-and-forth rst
half that ended with Georgia on
top 24-17.
Little-used Kadron Boone had
two early touchdown catches for
LSU, but Jarvis Landry turned
out to be Mettenbergers go-to
receiver. The junior had 10
catches for 156 yards, including
a 39-yard touchdown that tied
the game at 27 late in the third
quarter.
The Associated Press
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
Clint Trickett threwa touchdown
pass in his rst start at West
Virginia, Ishmael Banks returned
an interception for a touchdown
and the Mountaineers shocked
No. 11 Oklahoma State 30-21 on
Saturday.
Josh Lambert kicked three
eld goals for West Virginia (3-2,
1-1 Big 12), which rebounded
from its rst shutout loss in 11
years to outlast the mistake-
prone Cowboys.
Trickett became West
Virginias third starting quar-
terback this season after Ford
Childress was injured last week.
Trickett nished 24 of 50 for 309
yards.
But after taking a 24-14 half-
time lead, West Virginia was held
out of the end zone in the second
half and relied on its defense to
slow down J.W. Walsh.
Walsh threw three touchdown
passes but was intercepted twice.
The Cowboys (3-1, 0-1) were
penalized 10 times for 96 yards
and had four turnovers more
than their rst three games com-
bined.
No. 3 Clemson 56, Wake Forest 7
CLEMSON, S.C. Tajh Boyd
became the second Atlantic
Coast Conference quarterback
to account for 100 career touch-
downs, leading Clemson to the
easy win.
Boyd threw for three touch-
downs and rushed for another
score. He stands at 102 TDs,
joining former North Carolina
State star Phillip Rivers in the
ACCs century club. Boyd passed
for 311 yards and ran for 69 to
surpass Charlie Whitehurst as
Clemsons total offense leader.
The Tigers (4-0, 2-0) have won
their rst four games for the sec-
ond time in Boyds three seasons
as starter. He had touchdown
throws of 64 yards to Sammy
Watkins, 75 yards to D.J. Howard
and 14 yards to Mike Williams
as Clemson built a 35-7 halftime
lead.
Tanner Price had a TDpass for
Wake Forest (2-3, 0-2).
No. 8 Florida State 48, Boston
College 34
BOSTON Jameis Winston
threw for four touchdowns for
Florida State, including a 55-yard
Hail Mary as time expired in the
rst half.
Winston had rst-half touch-
down passes of 56 and 10 yards
to tie the game after BC, coming
off a 28-point loss to Southern
California, opened a 17-3 lead.
The desperation heave to Kenny
Shaw made it 24-17, and then
Winston added a fourth TD
pass in the second half as the
Seminoles (4-0, 2-0 Atlantic
Coast Conference) pulled away.
In all, the Florida State fresh-
man completed 17 of 28 passes
for 330 yards and ran 14 times
for 67 more.
Chase Rettig completed 19 of
29 passes for 197 yards and a
career-high four touchdowns for
BC (2-2, 1-1).
No. 12 South Carolina 28, Central
Florida 25
ORLANDO, Fla. Mike
Davis rushed for 167 yards and
three touchdowns as South
Carolina overcame an injury to
its starting quarterback, four
turnovers and a halftime decit
to get the win.
Davis picked up the slack after
starting QB Connor Shaw left
with a sprained right shoulder
following a hard tackle during
South Carolinas rst offensive
series.
Knights quarterback Blake
Bortles threw for 358 yards and
two touchdowns, but had two
interceptions and a fumble.
South Carolina (3-1) also lost
second-string tailback Brandon
Wilds in the third quarter with
a left elbow strain, but Davis
remained steady as the primary
ball carrier.
UCF (3-1) had all the early
momentum, leading 10-0 at
halftime, the rst time the
Gamecocks had been shut out in
a half since 2010.
No. 15 Miami 49, South Florida 21
TAMPA, Fla. Stephen
Morris threw for two touch-
downs before limping off with an
ankle injury and Duke Johnson
scored a TDin his eighth consec-
utive game, helping Miami roll to
the win.
Miami (4-0) is off to its best
start in nine years heading into
next weekends Atlantic Coast
Conference opener at home
against Georgia Tech. At 0-4
under rst-year coach Willie
Taggart, USF is off to the worst
start in school history and has
dropped 13 of 14 dating to last
season.
Morris threw for 222 yards,
moving ahead of Steve Walsh
and into ninth place on Miamis
career passing list. He tossed
TD passes of 19 yards to Herb
Waters and 34 yards to Stacy
Coley as the Hurricanes scored
on their rst three possessions
and amassed 251 yards of offense
in the rst quarter alone.
TheAssociated Press
MINNEAPOLIS Jake
Rudock threw for one touchdown
and ran for another and Iowa beat
Minnesota on both sides of the
ball in a 23-7 victory on Saturday.
Mark Weisman rushed for 147
yards on 24 carries, and Mike
Meyer made three of his four
eld goal attempts to help the
Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-0) start the
Big Ten with a bang. After losing
their opener to Northern Illinois,
theyve outscored their last two
opponents 82-10.
Senior linebackers Christian
Kirksey, James Morris and
Anthony Hitchens led a stiing
effort on defense, including inter-
ceptions by Kirksey and Morris
of Minnesota quarterback Philip
Nelson. Nelson hadnt played in
two weeks because of an injury,
but he started ahead of Mitch
Leidner for the Gophers (4-1,
0-1).
Nelson lost 18 yards on nine
rushes and completed 12 of 24
passes for 135 yards and one
touchdown to Derrick Engel, who
had 67 yards on ve catches.
Iowa outgainedMinnesota 464-
165 in total yards and the win lets
the Hawkeyes keep possession of
the Floyd of Rosedale trophy.
The Gophers went 3-9 in 2010
and 2011, but they beat bowl-
bound Iowa teams here in both of
those seasons. The payback came
last year at Kinnick Stadium,
where Minnesotas 4-0 nonconfer-
ence record was buried beneath
a bunch of powerful runs by
Weisman in a 31-13 loss.
Northern Illinois 55, Purdue 24
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
Jordan Lynch threw for 207
yards and three touchdowns,
and Northern Illinois scored on a
kickoff return and an interception
return to rout Purdue.
Its the rst time a Mid-
American Conference team has
beaten two Big Ten foes in the
same season, and the Huskies
(4-0) made it look easy, tying the
MAC record for victory margin
over a Big Ten school. Toledo
beat Minnesota by 31 in 2001.
Northern Illinois scored on its
rst four series, forced ve turn-
overs and led 27-10 at the half as
Lynch became the 26th player in
Football Bowl Subdivision history
to top 4,000 yards passing and
2,000 rushing in his career. He
was 18 of 25 and had nine carries
for 35 yards and a score.
Purdue (1-4, 0-1) was so bad,
coach Darrell Hazell yanked start-
ing quarterback Rob Henry and
inserted true freshman Danny
Etling late in the rst half.
Illinois 50, Miami (Ohio) 14
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Nathan
Scheelhaase threw for 278 yards
and ve touchdowns and Illinois
used a 29-point second quarter to
blowby Miami of Ohio.
The senior quarterback had all
ve touchdown throws for Illinois
(3-1) by halftime. He nished 19
of 24 for 278 yards with one inter-
ception
Illinois took a 36-0 lead into
halftime on Scheelhaases 45-yard
touchdown pass to Matt LaCosse
with just over ve minutes left in
the second quarter.
The Illini got their third win of
the season early after nishing
2-10 a year ago and closing with
nine-straight losses.
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh
turned a pair of early Virginia
turnovers into touchdowns and
the Panther defense did the rest
in a 14-3 victory on Saturday.
Tom Savage completed 13 of
30 passes for 190 yards and a
touchdown with two intercep-
tions before leaving late in the
fourth quarter. Tyler Boyd caught
seven passes for 111 yards for
Pitt. The Panthers (3-1, 2-1
ACC) have won three straight for
the rst time since 2010.
A week after giving up 55
points to Duke, Pitts defense
shut down the Cavaliers (2-2,
0-1). Virginia managed just 188
total yards. Quarterback David
Watford completed 15 of 36
passes for 122 yards and Virginia
never threatened to make it inter-
esting after spotting the Panthers
two rst-quarter scores.
Both teams came in riding
high. Pitt piled up 589 total
yards in a shootout win over
the Blue Devils while Virginia
pounded VMI 49-0.
The going was considerably
tougher for both sides in a game
to make some sense of the jum-
ble behind Virginia Tech in the
ACCs Coastal Division. Instead,
it proved to be a jumbled mess.
The teams combined for 17
punts, ve turnovers and zero
momentum.
Lehigh 34, New Hampshire 27
BETHLEHEM Brandon
Bialkowski threw two touch-
downs and Sean Farrell ran for
two more to lead Lehigh to a
come-from-behind win over
New Hampshire.
Lehigh was trailing 27-20 in
the third quarter when Farrell
scored his second consecutive
rushing TD to tie the game.
The Lehigh defense held and
Bialkowski capped the next
Mountain Hawks drive with a
15-yard scoring pass to Derek
Knott. Bialkowski was 31 of 52
for 359 yards passing.
Villanova 35, Pennsylvania 6
VILLANOVA John
Robertson passed for three
touchdowns, rushed for a
36-yard TD and accounted for
398 total yards of offense in
leading Villanova to a victory
over Pennsylvania.
Robertson was 19 of 28 for
266 yards, with two TD strikes
to Poppy Livers and the other
to Joe Price as the Wildcats
(2-2) won their second straight
game. Robertson, who is also
Villanovas leading rushter,
added 15 carries for a game-high
132 yards.
The Wildcats forced four
turnovers, including two inter-
ceptions by Joe Sarnese. Craig
James also returned a blocked
eld goal 73 yards for a touch-
down.
The Wildcats had a 21-0 third-
quarter lead before Billy Ragone
completed a 9-yard TD pass to
Spencer Kulcsar for the Quakers
(1-1) only score. Ragone was 18
of 35 for 192 yards.
Villanova has now defeated
Penn in 12 straight years.
Fordham 38, St. Francis 20
LORETTO Michael
Nebrich threw three touch-
downs passes, including two in
the fourth quarter, and Fordham
pulled away from Saint Francis.
The Rams (5-0) set the pace
early, as Jorge Solano returned
the opening kickoff 96 yards for
a touchdown. A 10-yard touch-
down pass from Nebrich to Dan
Light gave the Rams a 14-0 lead
by the end of the rst quarter.
Saint Francis (1-3) came back
to take a brief 20-17 lead on a
71-yard touchdown run by Kyle
Harbridge. Harbridge accounted
for all of the Red Flash scores,
logging three touchdowns while
rushing for a season-high 291
yards.
Robert Morris 37, VMI 31, 2OT
LEXINGTON, Va. Deontae
Howard rushed for a career-
high 100 yards and scored the
game-winning touchdown in the
second overtime to lead Robert
Morris over Virginia Military
Institute.
Paul Jones set the pace for
Robert Morris (2-2) with 321
passing yards, the most by a
Colonial since 2005. Donte Jeter
was his favorite target with eight
catches for 112 yards.
The victory was Colonials rst
ever over VMI (1-4) and came in
Joe Waltons 200th career game
as head coach at Robert Morris.

ties for 77 yards. Oklahoma
had no turnovers and four
penalties for 31 yards.
The Sooners, who managed just
15 yards rushing against the Irish
last season, had 19 yards on their
rst two rushing attempts and
nished with 212 yards rushing.
Brennan Clay led the Sooners with
77 yards on 14 carries and Blake
ran for 59 yards on 12 carries.
The game was a stark contrast
to last season, when the Irish dom-
inated the lines of scrimmage and
amassed 215 yards on the ground.
The Sooners frequently went
wide on both runs and passes to
try to offset Notre Dames size
inside. The Irish managed to rush
for a season-high 220 yards, with
George Atkinson running for 148
yards on 14 carries, but it wasnt
enough.
Bell, making his second career
start, wasnt as impressive as he
was when he passed for 413 yards
and four touchdowns in a 51-20
win over Tulsa, but he was good
enough to lead the Sooners over
the Irish. He was 22 of 30 pass-
ing for 232 yards and two touch-
downs. He left with what appeared
to be a cramp in the third quarter
following an 11-yard run. But
backup Trevor Knight, who start-
ed the rst two games, ran for 30
yards on the next play to help set
up a 27-yard eld goal by Michael
Hunnicutt, who later added a
19-yarder.
Bell came back in the fourth
quarter to connect with Shepard
on the 54-yard pass and 2-point
conversion.
Tommy Rees struggled for
a second straight game. After
three straight games of passing
for more than 300 yards, he was
9-of-24 passing for a season-low
104 yards.
The Irish, who were held to 82
yards rushing against Michigan
State, had 88 yards rushing in rst
quarter against Oklahoma, rushed
for a season-high 220 yards, high-
lighted by an 80-yard TD run by
Atkinson on Notre Dames rst
offensive play of the second half
to cut the lead to 21-14. Atkinson
took the handoff, took advantage
of a block and raced up the side-
line for the third career TD run of
more than 50 yards.
The 21 points were the most
allowed this season by Oklahoma,
which had been giving up just 9
points a game.
Many of the sellout crowd of
80,795 wore green as requested by
Irish coach Brian Kelly, but there
were a fair share of Oklahoma
fans in the stands as well
although nothing like a game
against Nebraska in 2000 when
Cornhuskers fans wearing red
took up about a third of the sta-
dium. The 14-point loss matches
the second-worst home loss under
Kelly. The worst was 37-14 to
Stanford in 2010.

WEEK 4 PREDICTIONS
GREG COTE
The Miami Herald
GAME OF THE WEEK
DOLPHINS (3-0) AT SAINTS (3-0)
Line: NO by 6 .
Cotes pick: NO 34-20.
Frankly there are better Week 4 matchups Id peg more likely for closer
games Seahawks-Texans and Patriots-Falcons come to mind but I
can hardly be accused of playing the homer card in giving the Game of
the Week nod to a pair of 3-0 teams merging on a Monday stage. I only
wish I could give Miami much of a chance to get to 4-0 for the frst
time since 1995 in its record 79th MNF appearance. But I cant. I dont.
It isnt that I think the Dolphins are a fuke; Miami should be one of the
75.4 percent majority of 3-0 teams that go on to make the playofs.
No, it is that DrewBrees seems all but unstoppable, and doubly so at
home. He has eight straight 300-yard games and also is on an 8-0
run on Mondays, with a 24-5 TD/pick ratio and a 120.6 rating over
that span. The Dolphins also tend to have trouble with other teams
tight ends, and the ex-Cane Jimmy Grahamhappens to be a one-man
wrecking ball, with 313 receiving yards in past two games. Factor the
possibility both DT Paul Soliai and DE CamWake could miss the game
injured and I just cant see Miami keeping the Saints under 30. This
is the Dolphins big chance to barge into the national conversation.
Alas, the likelihood of a rout seems greater to me than the chance of
an upset.
UPSET OF THE WEEK
BEARS (3-0) AT LIONS (2-1)
Line: DET by 3.
Cotes pick: CHI 27-24.
AAAWWWK! yodels the Upset Bird, coptering over this game
as a vulture might hover over carrion. Marc Trestmaawwk! New
coach Marc Trestmaawwk I mean Trestman has the Bears believing,
but series trends predating his arrival make me like Chitown here.
Bears have beaten Motown in nine of past 10, with 27 takeaways.
My big concern about this call isnt that Detroit should have Reggie
Bush back. It is that the Windies might not have CB Charles Tillman
(groin), who is one of the fewguys with a positive history covering
Calvin Johnson. Indeed, Megatron poses a concern, admits U-Bird.
Nevertheless: Chicaaawwwk!
DOG OF THE WEEK
STEELERS (0-3) vs. VIKINGS (0-3) in London
Line: PIT by 1 .
Cotes pick: PIT 23-20.
Hello, London! Will you forgive us turning Wembley Stadiuminto
Winless Stadium? Actually there is at least one NFL game this week
Id much less rather watch than this one (nothing personal, Cardinals-
Bucs), but the Dog committee simply could not resist the weeks only
clash of 0-3s. Luckily, Steelers-Vikings seems like a great matchup
to most Brits, wo dont knowany better. Pittsburgh and Minnesota are
going fromcountry to country until they fnd one they can win in. QB
Christian Ponder (ribs) is ify for Purples, helping tilt the pick.
RAVENS (2-1) AT BILLS (1-2)
Line: BAL by 3 .
Cotes pick: BAL 27-13.
The Ravens risk a natural letdown after last weeks home rout of
Houston, but the Bufs present a struggling ofense to a Baltimore
defense that has not allowed an opponent TD for two straight games.
Also, Ray Rice should return frominjury here for Crows, his welcome
wagon a god-awful Williams run-D.
BENGALS (2-1) AT BROWNS (1-2)
Line: CIN by 4 .
Cotes pick: CIN 21-19.
The font of Ohioans pride, this state battle fnds both teams coming
of dramatic wins. Brownies rallied past Vikings, and Gals became frst
teamsince 1999 to somehowwin despite allowing 30 unanswered
points. Cincys Marvin Lewis is 14-6 vs. Earthtones, including seven of
past nine, and two of past three by the lake. Like Clevers to stay close,
though. CBJoe Haden should make A.J. Green work for his yards.
GIANTS (0-3) AT CHIEFS (3-0)
Line: KC by 4 .
Cotes pick: KC 27-24.
So many reasons point to Chiefs here. K.C. and Justin Houston lead
league in sacks, and Giants O-line is what Charles Barkley might call
turrible. Carrful Chiefs are plus-9 on turnovers, and bumbling NYG
is minus-13. Andy Reid is 2-0 this season vs. former NFC East rivals.
And yet! I gut-feel this one close, and give NYG a major upset shot.
Bonus fact: Giants, Redskins and Steelers are all 0-3 for frst time in
NFL history.
CARDINALS (1-2) AT BUCCANEERS (0-3)
Line: TB by 2 .
Cotes pick: TB 20-17
Third-round rookie Mike Glennon out of North Carolina State makes
his frst QB start for Buccaneers upon the benching of Josh Freeman.
Coach Greg Schianos desperation is showing, but this is needed fresh
air and could be a spark. especially if WRVincent Jackson (ribs)
can play. Zona is battling a bunch of injuries so make it an unconfdent
venue pick.
COLTS (2-1) AT JAGUARS (0-3)
Line: IND by 8.
Cotes pick: IND 23-17.
Indy has a stout ground game (146.3 average) fortifed by Trent
Richardson, and J-Ville has the dead-worst run defense in the league.
Still, Jags are home and should have Blaine Gabbert back, and they
catch Colts coming of a big upset of San Fran. So there are reasons
to be tempted by that large point spread, especially if the homies can
manage an afternoon of vintage Maurice Jones-Drew.
SEAHAWKS (3-0) AT TEXANS (2-1)
Line: SEAby 3.
Cotes pick: HOU 24-21.
Upset! Houston was my preseason Super Bowl pick (yes, I still admit
that), and I like Texans to bounce back big at home here after that
embarrassing loss to Ravens. Seattle, though good everywhere, is not
as dominant on the road, and is due a stumble. The recipe for HOU:
Alot fewer penalties than last weeks 14, no Matt Schaub INTs, Andre
Johnson (shin) in the lineup and J.J. Watt reminding Russell Wilson he
isnt in his home comfort zone.
JETS (2-1) AT TITANS (2-1)
Line: TEN by 3 .
Cotes pick: TEN 21-20.
Two teams pleasantly surprised to be 2-1 fnds Jets leading league
with 34 penalties and Titans (31) not far behind, but Tennessee has
zero turnovers. Take Nashvillians at home in what essentially is a coin-
fip game, but leaning Planes ATS with that dangling extra half point
tantalizing me like a damned piece of pie.
REDSKINS (0-3) AT RAIDERS (1-2)
Line: WAS by 3.
Cotes pick: WAS 27-23.
Terrelle Pryors ify status (concussion) had Matt Flynn on call
for Oakland, not a huge drop-of. Two really bad defenses here.
Washingtons is worse, but Robert Grifn III is better equipped to take
advantage of fssures on the Raiders side. Give Oaks a medium-large
upset shot but stick with the Unmentionable Nicknames.
EAGLES (1-2) AT BRONCOS (3-0)
Line: DEN by 10 .
Cotes pick: DEN 41-24.
The Saturday over/under (57 points) suggests an entertaining game
if not a close one. Howcan you go wrong with Peyton Mannings
awesome air-raid ofense on one side and the furry of Chip Kelly and
his blitzkrieg rushing attack on the other? But heres the diference:
Broncos put up a solid run defense against Phillys strength, but
the Birds have little on pass-D to suggest Peyton wont put up huge
numbers once again. Big point spread, but an even bigger faith in
Manning right now.
COWBOYS (2-1) AT CHARGERS (1-2)
Line: DAL by 2.
Cotes pick: DAL 30-24.
Chargers family jarred this week by the suicide of former teammate
Paul Oliver, a safety from2007 to 2011. Hard to read the efect of that,
if any. More tangibly, Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray could fantasy-
pleasing stats against a beatable Diego defebse, and Cows pass rush
should really test a shaky Bolts O-line.
PATRIOTS (3-0) AT FALCONS (1-2)
Line: ATL by 2.
Cotes pick: ATL 27-23.
Heres a game Id pay to watch. So strange for the Patriots to be
getting points (even two), and thats makes English a seriously
tempting underdog in this Sunday prime-timer. Its just that Atlanta
is much more desperate and also is a very strong home club; Matt
Ryan is 34-5 as a starter in the ATL. TomBrady and his Pats are due
an ofensive bustout game, but with Rob Gronkowski and Danny
Amendola likely both still out, this doesnt feel like the week for that.
OFF THIS WEEK
PACKERS (1-2; next vs. Lions): Aaron Rodgers Pack scored 30
unanswered points at Cincinnati last week and somehowmanaged to
lose only the third time in NFL history that has happened.
PANTHERS (1-2; next at Cardinals): In last weeks 38-0 win Cats
sacked NYGs Eli Manning seven times, forced three turnovers and
held Lilliputians under 150 yards ofense. The word is annihilation.

FANTASY FOOTBALL
RICH SHEPOSH
rsheposh@civitasmedia.com
Remember when you were a kid? What was the worst
thing your parents could have said to you?
OK, so its probably, Were sending you to a Calcutta
orphanage, but aside from that, whats the worst thing
they could have said?
We are sooo disappointed in you.
You could make them boil with rage, scream like a
banshee stuck in trafc, ail their arms around with
crazed abandon and youd get over it. But the last
thing you wanted to do was let them down.
And while NFL players dont care if they let you
down, they sure can leave you disappointed.
There are several August superstars who have start-
ed the season off like 10th round draft picks. But are
they just slow starters or is something really wrong?
Lets nd out by using the power of speculation, shall
we.
1: C.J. Spiller, RB, Bills: When offensive coordina-
tor Nathaniel Hackett said the Bills were going to run
Spiller until he throws up, he really meant until his
fantasy owners throw up. The electric back with the
career 5.2-yards-per-carry average is slogging around
averaging 3.8 yards and getting outplayed by 32-year-
old Fred Jackson. Should you worry? Yes, a little. His
career pattern is to play in Jackson s shadow until the
older backs inevitable injury, and then become a fan-
tasy stud. If thats the case again this year and I think
it will be youll have a nice RB for the stretch run.
If thats not the case grab a barf bag. WORRY-O-
METER: 6
2: Doug Martin, RB, Buccaneers: After Adrian
Peterson, Martin was the consensus No. 2 pick in the
draft. It was expected hed build on a great rookie sea-
son and take the step into superstardom. And, in fair-
ness to him, hes done his part. Problem is, his offense
is falling apart around him. Should you trust him going
forward? Yes. Hes second in the NFL in rushing and
hes the best chance Tampa has to rebound offensively.
Look for him to get move involved in the passing game
as well. WORRY-O-METER: 4
3: Tom Brady, QB, Patriots: People have gotten
used to the fantasy god Tom Brady the guy who
routinely put up 38 TD passes and irted with 5,000
yards. But that Tom Brady had big-time weapons at his
disposal. How easy we forget that the Brady who won
Super Bowls didnt put up mind-numbing stats. He just
won games. The 2013 Patriots dont have the horses
for a high-powered offense, and as a result Bradys fan-
tasy stock is probably going to stay where it is now
the 250 yards, 2 TDs per game level. Hell still be
a winning QB, just not an upper-tier fantasy winner.
WORRY-O-METER: 8
4: Roddy White, WR, Falcons: Whites been playing
through a high ankle sprain and its completely sapped
his production. While that kind of injury can linger, the
bigger concern for his fantasy prospects is the expect-
ed emergence of Julio Jones. Everyone knew the uber-
talented Jones would eventually become the Falcons
best receiver and thats what hes become. Whites
injury has kept him from being the high-end No. 2 guy
he was expected to be. The good news: Atlantas bye is
coming up and the extra rest will help. The bad news:
The schedule isnt doing the Falcons any favors with
some top defenses looming. He will play better, but not
up to the level fantasy owners expected. WORRY-O-
METER: 8
5: Ray Rice, RB, Ravens: Rice went down in Game
2 with a hip injury thats likely to keep him out today
in Buffalo . But even when he comes back, theres real
concern about how productive hes going to be. The
Ravens offense does not look like the same team that
won the Super Bowl. Even on that team, there were
signs Rices role was being slightly reduced. When
healthy, he still has a lot of value, but you drafted him
to carry your fantasy team and it just doesnt feel like
hes that kind of player anymore. WORRY-O-METER:

QUICK HITS FOR WEEK 4
Start em: With Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton off
on byes, you are lucky if you have Jay Cutler as your
backup. A Bears-Lions game under the dome in Detroit
sounds like the makings of a 34-31 ballgame.
Bonus start: Watch the status of Raiders QB Terrelle
Pryor. IF he plays against the Redskins and you can
get him in your lineup, do it. Problem is, the game is
a 4 p.m. start and you may need to make a decision
sooner than that.
Of course youre going to start Colts RB Trent
Richardson. But be prepared for his best game of the
season. Hes had some time to learn the offense, his
main competition for the job is injured and Indy gets to
face the Jaguars. Sounds like a big lead with an empha-
sis on running out the clock.
Somehow, the Steelers found an offense last week
and WR Antonio Brown found himself a big game.
Now, this might not be the case every week, but against
a Vikings defense that cant seem to stop anyone, ride
Brown for one more week.
Sit em: Did you actually pick up Browns QB Brian
Hoyer after last weeks game against the Vikings? Good
for you. Did you realize he played against Minnesota ?
A defense that has given up 34, 31 and 31 points the
rst three weeks? The Bengals are not the Vikings.
If youre waiting for Titans RB Chris Johnson to
have a breakout game, you might want to wait a bit lon-
ger like until after their Week 8 bye. A tough stretch
of defenses awaits the next few weeks starting with an
underrated Jets squad today.
Andre Johnson, WR, Texans. Hes been battling
injury and he gets to face the hellacious Seahawks
defense. Yeah. Sucks to be him.

The Patriots Tom Brady is a great quarterback. Thats not even
debatable. But what is up for question is, with the lack of offensive
weapons on the Pats, can his fantasy production come close to
what was expected.
Giants dont want Chiefs
Smith to outsmart them
ARTSTAPLETON
The Record (Hackensack, N.J.)
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. Alex Smith insists
theres no secret to avoiding
interceptions.
I wish there was, the
Chiefs quarterback earlier
this week, promising his abil-
ity to take care of the football
is nothing more than know-
ing when to let go and when
to hold on.
If youre going out there
trying not to turn the ball
over, thats a problem,
added Smith, who will lead
undefeated Kansas City into
Sundays game with the win-
less Giants at Arrowhead
Stadium. You need to go
out there and execute. You
need to go out there and
make plays, but within the
structure of you doing your
job. There needs to be ball
security and for me thats
two hands in the pocket and
making good decisions.
Its seeing the defense,
trusting my reads, my pro-
gressions and then throwing
the ball where its supposed
to go.
The Giants were never
supposed to be here: 0-3 for
the rst time since 1996, in
danger of falling to 0-4 for
just the third time in the
88-year history of the fran-
chise.
Truth be told: the Chiefs
were not supposed to be
here, either, having won
their rst three games under
former Eagles coach Andy
Reid to already eclipse their
2-14 record in 2012.
They also traded with the
49ers for Smith, who was
replaced as San Franciscos
starting quarterback midway
through last season by Colin
Kaepernick, who led themto
the Super Bowl. All Smith
has done is restore a sem-
blance of order to the Kansas
City offense, which has yet
to commit a turnover after
the Chiefs were victimized
by 37 giveaways last season,
tied with the Jets and Eagles
for most in the NFL.
Smith has thrown the few-
est interceptions in the NFL
among quarterbacks with
at least 1,000 pass attempts
since 2010: six fewer than
Tom Brady, eight fewer than
Peyton Manning and Aaron
Rodgers.
The Giants have had suc-
cess against Smith in past
seasons, however, winning
two of the last three meet-
ings, including the NFC
Championship Game at
Candlestick Park en route to
Super Bowl XLVI.
Their most impressive
defensive performance of the
2012 campaign came at the
expense of Smith when they
dominated with six sacks
ve of Smith and one of
Kaepernick and regis-
tered three interceptions in a
26-3 triumph over the 49ers.
I think the quarterback is
doing an excellent job of tak-
ing what the defense gives
him, Giants defensive coor-
dinator Perry Fewell said. I
think they do a good job of
running the football and he
doesnt feel pressured into
making bad decisions. It
does help a little bit (to have
had previous success against
Smith). You have some
knowledge of the player. He
had good skill there in San
Francisco also.
Youre hoping that you
can force him to make some
bad decisions.
The Giants will again be
without cornerback Corey
Webster (hip), which means
Aaron Ross will start oppo-
site Prince Amukamara.
The best way to neutral-
ize Smith might be shutting
down running back Jamaal
Charles, who has rushed for
224 yards and three touch-
downs.
In his last 30 games, Smith
has thrown only 10 inter-
ceptions, three against the
Giants.
One of the reasons why
theyre where they are, Tom
Coughlin said.
SNEE, BAAS OUT:
Four-time Pro Bowl right
guard Chris Snee (hip) and
starting center David Baas
(neck) were ruled out while
veteran lineman David Diehl
(thumb) is listed as doubtful.
This is the second game
Snee will be forced to miss
since the end of his rookie
season in 2004, the other
one coming two seasons
ago.
James Brewer is expect-
ed to start in place of Snee,
while Jim Cordle could get
his rst NFL start at center.
The Giants could also slide
LG Kevin Boothe to center
and give Brandon Mosley
his rst start there.

Steelers reinforcing tradition
CHRIS MILLER
Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
Youmight thinkPittsburgh
Steelers fans are unrealistic
to expect the team will win
a Super Bowl every season.
But they dont have any-
thing on some of the players.
When the Steelers started
the season with losses to
Tennessee and Cincinnati,
and youngsters were not
living up to expectations,
a group of 10 veterans left
over from the teams last
championship team in 2008
had a meeting. They decided
there was a need to reinforce
tradition on a franchise that
has a record six Super Bowl
victories. The kids werent
being serious enough, and
the mainstays decided lock-
er room game tables could
not be used by anyone who
wasnt at least a four-year
veteran.
Losing is not an option
around here, said quarter-
back Ben Roethlisberger,
leader of the 08ers. We have
six Lombardi (Trophies)
and all the Hall of Famers
that have come here before
us. Theres a right (way) to
wear the black and gold, and
(we) have to make sure they
understand that.
How quickly will the
younger players catch on?
I dont think thats some-
thing that youll ever nd res-
olution to, Steelers coach
Mike Tomlin said. Its part
of being a Steeler, passing
down the oral history, talk-
ing about the contributions
and sacrices of those who
have come before. I dont
think thats ever something
you can check off and say
job done.?
Things have gotten
more serious this week.
The Steelers, who face
the Vikings in London on
Sunday, are coming off a
40-23 loss to Chicago in
which Roethlisberger had
an interception and a fumble
returned for touchdowns.
I cant have it happen,
the 10-year veteran said. If
we dont turn the ball over
in critical situations, or as
much as we have, then we
are in most of (our) games.
Roethlisberger and
Tomlin spoke via conference
call before the team arrived
in London on Friday.
The Steelers trademarks
have been a ferocious
defense and a power run-
ning game. This season,
theyre 28th in the league
in defense, havent forced
a turnover and have the
leagues lowest-rated run-
ning attack. They also are
31st in third-down conver-
sion percentage.
Weve created that situ-
ation due to ineffectiveness
on rst and second down,
Tomlin said. If youre in
third-and-long, youre going
to have a tough time con-
verting. Weve been in too
many third-and-longs, but
weve created it.
The Vikings are also 0-3.
Only one 0-4 team, the 1992
Chargers, made the NFL
playoffs since the eld was
expanded in 1990, so odds
are long that Sundays loser
will be playing in January.
Sometimes it just takes
one win to get your sea-
son going and get it right,
Roethlisberger said. I dont
think anybody expected pre-
season for both of us to be
0-3, but we are. Someone
will come out of this game
with a win.

Special teams not for Eagles
LES BOWEN
Philadelphia Daily News
PHILADELPHIA
The rst two games of the
season, the Eagles special
teams were rock-solid, even
if they didnt generate spec-
tacular returns. But against
Kansas City, all kinds of
stuff went wrong.
It started with the open-
ing kickoff, which former
Eagle Quintin Demps
brought back 57 yards. It
continued with the Eagles
rst touch of the game,
when Damaris Johnson
fumbled away a fair catch.
Nothing seemed to go
right from there; Donnie
Jones averaged a 34-yard
net on four punts, and
Demps broke out to his 30
on another kickoff return,
causing kicker Alex Henery
to haul him down with a
tackle that was ruled both
a horse-collar and a face-
mask, putting the ball on
the KC 45. Oh, and Henery
missed a 48-yard eld-
goal attempt, after miss-
ing a 46-yarder against the
Chargers.
This is yet another area
where the Eagles need to
get back to where they want
to be, with the Broncos and
returner Trindon Holliday
on tap. Holliday is the guy
who scored against the
Ravens in the playoffs on a
90-yard punt return and a
104-yard kickoff return.
I think all of us are
learning, special-teams
coordinator Dave Fipp said
this week. We didnt play
to our standard I have
a lot of condence in our
guys. Well continue to
grow, continue to improve.
Its a long season.
The Eagles have used
some starters on special
teams this year. Fipp said
he didnt think the three-
games-in-11-days stretch to
open the season meant any
of those guys were drag-
ging against the Chiefs.
Were very cautious
in who we use and when
we use them, what those
plays are, and how much
were taxing those guys
that are starters, Fipp
said. Usually our starters
are on one (special) team,
theyre not on three or
four.
Fipp said he isnt unhap-
py with Henery.
I dont worry about
Alex at all, Fipp said.
Hes missed two balls in
that 40-to-49 range. Hes 50
percent (from that range)
on the year. Everything
else is 100 percent.
Fipp said hell stay with
Johnson on punts and
kickoffs, with DeSean
Jackson making occa-
sional punt-return appear-
ances in special situations.

the sophomore, who has run
the read option attack so well
in the teams rst two games,
wtas held to just 63 rush-
ing yards and a 1-yard TD
run. Puckett also hooked up
with Juwan Petties-Jackson
for a 43-yard TD pass in
the third quarter. They
tried a similar play in the
fourth, but Petties-Jackson
couldnt get the separation
from Omar Richardson
that he did the rst time.
I think our defense is
coming. The last several
years, our defense has given
up a lot of points and a lot
of yards, Sheptock added.
Those young men have put
in a lot of hard work, have
reallybought intothesystem.
I think were doing some bet-

think the Wilkes defense is
making a return where were
able to stop some people
and shut them down. Im
real proud of the defense.

Eric Seidle | For The Times Leader
Runners take off at Saturday mornings start of the 8.1-mile run around Harveys Lake
Albright wears down Kings
TOM FOX
For the Times Leader
WILKES-BARRE Its
one of the stranger plays
you will ever see.
A blocked 51-yard eld-
goal attempt. A lateral. A
big lineman rumbling down
the sidelines, led by a ock
of his teammates.
When Kings Ron Garrett
motored down the right
sideline with no time left
on the clock in the second
quarter, cutting Albrights
lead to 14-10, everyone at
McCarthy Stadium knew
momentum was squarely
in the locker room of the
home Monarchs.
It stood there when play
resumed in the second half.
Albright College scored
21 points in the third quar-
ter, and racked up almost
300 yards of offense in the
second half en route to a
48-29 victory during home-
coming day at Kings.
The Lions improve to 2-2,
while Kings remains win-
less in 2013. The Monarchs
have lost seven of their last
eight homecoming games.
Its a tight game at that
point. We kind of changed
the tone at halftime from
what the heck are we doing
to here is what we are going
to do coming out, Albright
head coach John Marzka
said. For our kicker, that
was eld-goal range. He has
a 52-yarder already. You line
up to kick close to a school
record, and if you make it,
its huge. Even if you miss
it, oh well, because you
nished with the ball in
your hands. But to have
it blocked, and not tackle
the guy, we just gave away
the momentum. And I hate
doing that before halftime.
The blocked punt before
halftime was something
you see on the days top
plays. Tyler Struckus
busted through the line
and got his hands on the
kick. Anthony Martuccio
recovered the loose ball,
and took it nine yards. But
right before he was tackled,
he lateralled it back to the
6-foot-1, 247-pound defen-
sive end Garrett, who went
54 yards untouched for the
score.
A 14-3 decit, and pos-
sibly more if the eld goal
splits the uprights, was
trimmed in half.
But the Lions stole that
momentum in just ve min-
utes.
Kings quarterback Tyler
Hartranft was picked off
deep in his own territory on
the teams rst possession
of the second half, which
led to a four-play, 31-yard
Albright score when Ty
Hughes went off the right
side from 8 yards out.
Then on the Monarchs
next possession, Albrights
Chris Stephens broke
through the middle of a
slow-developing punt,
blocked the ball back to
the end zone and hopped
on the pigskin for another
score.
Just like that, Kings
was facing an uphill battle,
down 28-10.
Its 14 points in a heart-
beat. You cant do that
against a veteran team,
Kings head coach Jeff
Knarr said. They have 32
seniors, so theyve been
there and done that. They
held it steady. Its a learn-
ing experience for our kids
about execution and learn-
ing from the mistakes. I
think we played better
than we did last week, but
not good enough to get the
win.
Kings offense showed
signs of life. Quarterbacks
Hartranft and Tom Hehre
combined for 298 yards,
completing 14 of 28 passes.
Most of those went to
receiver Dan Kempa. The
junior receiver made a
spectacular tip-catch in the
third quarter, knocking the
ball up to himself after he
broke behind the secondary
and went 84 yards for the
score, trimming the lead to
28-17.
He reached the end zone
again in the fourth quarter
after Hehre hit himin stride
for a 55-yard touchdown.
The problem was
Albrights veteran offense
was equally as good.
Four-year starting quar-
terback TJ Luddy tossed
for 305 yards and three
scores, while two receiv-
ers Daniel McNair and
Devron Clark each had
more than 100 yards.
McNair just got one foot
down in the end zone on
a 5-yard catch that gave
Albright an 18-point lead
(41-23) with 8:48 left, pret-
ty much sealing the Lion
victory.
We did some good
things, Knarr said. We
tried to run the ball more
consistently, but then
again, when you fall behind,
it hurts you in that aspect.
Last week, we didnt make
big plays in the passing
game. This week, we did.
Overall, looking at it live,
we did OK on offense. But
we cant give short elds to
our defense because it puts
them in a bad spot.

Orrson runs to Harveys Lake victory
ROBERT MINER
For the Times Leader
HARVEYS LAKE Just
before the start of the 8.1-Mile
Run Around Harveys Lake on
Saturday, Kelly Ciravolo the
areas best female triathlete
said to Marina Orrson, one of
the areas top female young run-
ners, shed be running alone out
there today.
Ciravolo, who hasnt fully
recovered after giving birth
just eight weeks ago, knew she
wouldnt be competition for
Orrson.
What Ciravolo probably didnt
know was that Orrson would be
running all alone out in front of
the entire eld leading both
males and females.
Orrson led a eld of 143 run-
ners to capture overall honors,
breaking the tape in 48 min-
utes and 32 seconds. She outran
second-place nisher, Scrantons
Paul Leonard 29 years older
than Orrson by 44 seconds.
I didnt have a plan, Orrson
said. I made a game-day deci-
sion this morning to run it. I
wanted to run the rst mile in
six minutes. I ran it in 5:55. That
was too quick. So I tried to run
a bit slower with consistency. I
didnt want to wear myself out.
Her strategy worked.
When asked if he tried to catch
Orrson, Leonard said, Yes, but
with no luck though.
While the younger runner got
the better of the older runner in
the 8.1-miler, the older guy got
the better of the younger guy in
the 5K Run.
Greg Bassham won top honors,
nishing in 19:33. The 54-year-
old from Mountain Top out-
ran second-place nisher Josh
Kaschenbach, 26, of Shavertown
by 1:07.
I ran in third place until we
reached the 1/4 mile marker,
said Bassham, who didnt start
running until he was 42. Thats
when I moved in front and
opened up a lead on him. But he
closed on me. He was breathing
down my neck. But I was able to
hold him off.
Suzanne Watts, 50, of
Phoenixville, won top female
honors, nishing in 23:11. Her
closest opponent was second-
place nisher Pat Adamshick, 57,
of Harveys Lake, who clocked in
at 26:52.
My husband and I used to run
in this race 10 years ago, Watts
said. Then they stopped hav-
ing this race. And we were dis-
appointed. Then I saw, on their
web site, they were having the
race again. So my husband and
I decided to make the trip here
and run it again. It a beautiful
lake.
Notes
In August, Orrson won the
Valleys Fastest Woman series,
a three-race event (Chase Mile
on the dirt track at Kirby Park,
Giants Despair Challenge a
1.1 mile uphill trek over the
famous car racing course in
Laurel Run, River Street Mile).
Orrson nished rst in all three
races.
Ciravolo has won the Wilkes-
Barre Triathlon three times.
Ciravolo also nished second to
Orrson in a 10K in Wilkes-Barre
in August.

King me: Mathis stars as GAR snaps skid
JOHN ERZAR
jerzar@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE
The king reigned Saturday
night, even on a pair of
wobbly legs.
Rashaun Mathis
went from pregame
Homecoming King to on-
eld playmaker as GAR
nally distanced itself from
Holy Redeemer for a 35-14
victory in a Wyoming
Valley Conference Division
2A-A game.
Mathis nished with
three interceptions, return-
ing one 70 yards for a
touchdown. He also ran for
two scores from the quar-
terback position, includ-
ing a 10-yard TD in the
Grenadiers 20-point out-
burst in the games nal
5:12.
That 10-yard TD run
with 1:37 to play also left
Mathis with cramps in
both calves and in extreme
pain.
Like a 12 on a scale of
1-10, he said.
The victory eased the
soreness somewhat. GAR
(1-4) snapped a ve-game
losing streak dating back
to last years District 2
Class 2A seminals.
Id rather have the vic-
tory, said Mathis, who
swapped his helmet for a
shiny blue crown after the
game. This crown, I dont
care too much for it.
GAR appeared primed to
pull away on its rst pos-
session of the third quarter.
The Grenadiers drove to
the Redeemer 1-yard line
when disaster struck. A
fumble landed in the back-
eld where Redeemer line-
backer Pat Villani scooped
it up. Villani lost the handle
after a few steps, and team-
mate Eric Kerr picked up
the ball and ran 77 yards
for a touchdown.
The two-point conver-
sion cut GARs lead to 15-8.
Redeemer (1-4) then
converted an interception
by Jason Hoggarth into
another touchdown in the
nal minute of the third
quarter. Jimmy Strickland
capped the eight-play drive
by escaping from the pass
rush to nd Hoggarth for
an 8-yard TD strike.
Redeemer, though,
couldnt get closer than
15-14. Nor could the
Royals make full amends
for a shaky rst half. They
turned over the ball three
times in their rst four
plays of the game. One
of them led to an 28-yard
interception return for a
touchdown by Rashaun
Jackson. In all, 22 of
GARs points came after
Redeemer turnovers.
We gave the game to
them, Redeemer coach
Pat Reece said. Cant
win a game with all those
turnovers in the rst
quarter. We fell apart at
the end. That last reverse
pass (Mathis TD) he was
wide open, but he threw it
to the inside and the free
safety got it. That was the
quick score we needed to
get it to 22-21.
GAR outgained
Redeemer 340-150, with
running back Rich Sickler
gaining 182 yards on 28
carries. The Grenadiers,
though, had ballhandling
issues as well. They fum-
bled six times, losing two,
and also had two passes
intercepted.
Our kids really battled
to the end, GAR coach
Paul Wiedlich Jr. said.
Our big thing was they
had to nish. The rst
four weeks were quite
frustrating because we
were so close.
Lakeland we were really
close. Dunmore we played
well for a half. Carbondale
we didnt show up. Last
week we improved against
Northwest and this week
were were able to nish a
game and get a victory.

position and raced
untouched into the
end zone for a game-
sealing touchdown
that provided the nal
score with 2:07 to play.
I just read the quarter-
backs eyes and made the
play, Harris shrugged.
Evidently, he has a knack
for doing that.
The 5-foot-11 senior
who began this season as
a safety but switched to
cornerback when starter
Tone Williams was injured
provided Williamsport
(2-3) with one of its few
bright spots in a loss last
week by also returning an
interception for a touch-
down.
And with just under 30
seconds remaining, Harris
grabbed another pick for
himself when he outleaped
a Dallas receiver for a des-
peration pass.
That brought an end to
what began as a promising
day for Dallas.
The winless
Mountaineers took their
rst lead of the season
when quarterback Justin
Mucha escaped a heavy
rush and scrambled 15
yards for a touchdown just
36 seconds before halftime.
And Dallas had a chance
for more points earlier in
the game, when Mucha
serving as a punt returner
- brought a kick back 29
yards to Williamsports
16-yard line. But three run-
ning plays produced just
one yard, and a 33-yard
eld goal attempt fell well
short.
As it turned out, so did
the Mountaineers bid for
their rst victory.
Williamsport running
back Isaac Foust charged
out of the second half, gain-
ing 56 yards on a 73-yard
march that ended when he
bolted into the end zone
on a game-tying 13-yard
touchdown run.
And at the end of the
third quarter, Williamsport
forged ahead when quarter-
back Dale Berkheimer
who was sacked four times
by a erce Dallas pass rush
found enough time to
hit receiver Jerah Reeves
with a 15-yard touchdown
toss 11 seconds before the
start of the fourth quarter.
And at the end of the
day, Harris wrapped
Williamsports victory up.
It felt great, Harris
said. Got a good win.
Were just going to keep
playing every week and
work as a team.

Deslauriers a stable presence for Pens
TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
HERSHEY After bouncing
around between the AHL and the
ECHL last season and suiting up
for four different teams, goaltender
Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers is hoping for
some stability inhis secondstint with
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
As a hockey player you want
stability, but its a word that doesnt
seem very common for many of us,
Deslauriers said following Saturdays
6-1 loss to the Hershey Bears.
Still, Deslauriers has brought plen-
ty of stability to the Penguins pre-
season in the two games he played.
On Friday, he stopped all six shots
he faced during while in net for the
second half against the Rochester
Americans. Against the Bears on
Saturday, Deslauriers stopped 21-of-
23 shots in a period-and-a-half,
including some highlight reel saves.
His biggest saves on the night
came in the third period when he
stopped a one-timer from T.J. Syner
in front and a wrister from Chay
Genoway who was alone at the post.
Deslauriers attributed his success
in net to the Penguins system.
I know where the shots are going
to come from and what we will allow
and what were not going to give up,
he said. I had a couple breakdowns
that you have to address, but thats
part of the game. I have to take the
good and bring it for the next time I
get that call.
When and where that will be isnt
known, as Deslauriers is in camp on
a tryout basis. Still, for a player who
has bounced around between so
many teams over the last few years,
Deslauriers does have the advantage
of being in familiar territory. He
played in 40 games for Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton in 2006-07 and was very
familiar with what to expect with
playing a game in Hershey, where
more than 4,400 fans turned out for
an exhibition game.
Wilkes-Barre and Hershey have
a long history and you never come
here on a vacation. Its going to be a
tough, gritty game, he said. I won
here before and I knowI can win here
again.
And Deslauriers hopes it will be as
a member of the Penguins.
Notes
Despite the lopsided scored,
head coach John Hynes saw plenty
of positives in Saturdays 6-1 loss to
the Bears.
It was a good test for our team
and theres really a lot of positives,
he said. It wasnt the best team
game overall, but there were a lot of
good performances.
Adam Payerl scored the lone
goal for the Penguins in the rst peri-
od. Former Penguin David Marshall
had two goals and two assists for the
Bears.
Saturdays game featured
plenty of rough stuff. Chris Minella
dropped the gloves with Hersheys
David Marshall in a spirited second
period scrap. Later, Peter Merth and
Brandon Segal dropped the gloves
but never got going. In the third peri-
od rookie Cody Sylvester, who scored
the game-winning overtime goal for
the Penguins on Friday, dropped the
gloves with Garrett Mitchell and
held his own. Later in the game Scott
Zurevinski fought Hersheys Patrick
Wellar.
Andy Chiodo started the frst
half of Saturdays game and allowed
four goals on 13 shots.
The Penguins wrap up the
preseason tonight at 5:05 p.m. as
they host Hershey at the Mohegun
Sun Arena. Hynes said forward
Tom Kuhnhackl and defenseman
Brian Dumoulin could make their
rst appearances of the preseason.
D Harrison Ruopp and LW Bobby
Farnhamwont play, he said.
Hynes will have to choose
from four goaltenders as far as
who gets playing time tonight. In
addition to Eric Hartzell, Chiodo
and Deslauriers, netminder Peter
Mannino is ready to join the mix.
Mannino has been out with an injury
all of training camp but Hynes said
he is ready to return and could see
action tonight.

GREGBEACHAM
APSportsWriter
Hockey fans inDetroit and
Columbus have grown accus-
tomed to the inconvenience.
When the Red Wings and
Blue Jackets are on the road,
theyve usually had to stay
up well past most bedtimes
to watch, or wait until morn-
ing to nd out how their
teams did way out West.
With the NHLs rst sig-
nicant realignment in 15
years, everybody can sleep a
bit easier this fall.
Its denitely a lot better
for us for rest, economically
for our team, Columbus
center R.J. Umberger said.
It just makes a lot of sense.
The NHL is altering its
conference lineups, dropping
two divisions and changing
the makeup of its schedules
in both the regular season
and the playoffs.
The biggest change sends
Detroit and Columbus to the
16-teamEasternConference,
while the Winnipeg Jets
head to the 14-team West.
Those uneven numbers are
the subject of some concern,
but theres no doubt they add
up splendidly for the three
teams on the move.
I think the travel some-
times takes years off all our
lives, Detroit goalie Jimmy
Howard said. I think (mov-
ing East) will be great for us
from the travel, even though
were all used to it now. It
will be a lot of fun to play a
lot of games in the Eastern
time zone. It will be great for
our fans, too, not having to
stay up until all hours of the
night to watch us.
The moves are the culmi-
nation of years of debate and
maneuvering. Detroit, which
has been in the Western
(originally Campbell)
Conference since 1981,
has desired a return to the
East for years. Columbus,
an expansion team in 2000,
also jumped at the chance to
shorten its list of road games
starting at 10 p.m. or later
back home.
The Red Wings are join-
ing the recongured Atlantic
Division along with fel-
low Original Six franchises
Toronto, Montreal, Boston
and, in the quirkiest part
of the realignment, Florida
and Tampa Bay. Columbus
is in the cleverly named
Metropolitan Division along-
side Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
and the three NewYork City-
area teams.
Its going to be great for
our fan base to be able to see
us play in the Eastern time
zone a lot more, Umberger
said. All of our away games
used to be in different time
zones. For us, a chance to
grow some close rivalries
with different teams like
Buffalo and Pittsburgh,
maintain Detroit, I think
were just excited.
Winnipeg, the erstwhile
Atlanta Thrashers, will no
longer spend the bulk of its
road time in the American
South. The Jets are grateful
to be in the Central Division
with Minnesota, Chicago
and the rest of the NHLs
Midwestern teams.
Its too soon to tell wheth-
er Detroit, Columbus and
Winnipeg will gain a sig-
nicant competitive advan-
tage from the switch. The
Red Wings werent exactly
struggling to win while
making the playoffs in each
of the past 22 seasons out
West, while the Blue Jackets
wouldnt suggest the only
reason theyve never won a
playoff game was all those
road games in Phoenix.
I think its a great time for
our fans, Red Wings defen-
seman Niklas Kronwall said.
Theyll be able to watch our
games in prime time a lot
more than they have. Playing
Montreal, Toronto, Boston
more often, Im hoping its
going to spark that (excite-
ment) even more. I know it
will for us.
But the three moves are
just part of a competitive
restructuring that will affect
every NHL team.
The league is back to a
four-division format, drop-
ping the six-division setup
introduced in 1998. The
NHL also went back to a ver-
sion of the divisional playoff
schedule used from 1982
until 1994.
The top three teams in
each division get postseason
berths, and two wild-card
spots go to the two remain-
ing teams with the best
records in either division.
The rst two rounds of the
conference playoffs will be
within the division, which
means the last wild-card
team could be required to
face the teams on the other
side of the conference for a
spot in the conference nals.
I love the four-division
format, said Anaheimcoach
Bruce Boudreau, whose
Ducks won the Pacic last
season. I really think for the
fan, its easy to understand. It
keeps more teams involved,
and with the crossover, if
youre in a stronger division
than others, youre not nec-
essarily done, because you
can always move to the other
division.
The NHL Players
Association initially
objected to the uneven
conferences, saying it
would be tougher to make
the playoffs with two more
teams in the East. The
union dropped the objec-
tion after the lockout.
This going to the East
in the new divisional con-
cept, its going to be a dif-
cult time for any of these
teams to make the play-
offs, said John Davidson,
the Blue Jackets director
of hockey operations. Its
going to be a real battle.
We have to understand
that. I think we do.
The schedule matrix also
has been tweaked after
several years of empha-
sis on divisional rivalries.
Every team in the league
faces everybody else twice
this season, giving fans in
every city a chance to see
every star.
If I was sitting in the
stands, I would tend to
think that Id like to see the
Ovechkins come into my
building and the Crosbys
come into my building,
Boudreau said.

it had much to do with the game.
You cant leave balls in up the
zone in this ballpark against that
lineup and get away with it.
Prospect Andrew Lambo hit his
rst homer off Logan Ondrusek,
the rst time the Pirates had six
in a game since Aug. 22, 2007 at
Colorado.
Pirates starter Charlie Morton
also struggled, leaving with one out
and the bases loaded in the fth. Vin
Mazzaro (8-2) fanned Zack Cozart
and retired Ryan Hanigan on a y
ball as the slumping Reds left the
bases loaded for the second time in
the game.
Cincinnati stranded 11 runners
overall.
Both teams already had clinched
wild-card berths heading into their
weekend series. Whoever took it
would host the one-game showdown.
Pittsburgh made quick work of it,
winning the opener 4-1 on Friday
night and then the second game, too.
Better to be home than on the
road, McCutchen said. Today
showed how bad we wanted to go
home. We answered in a big way.
The Ohio River rivals have met
ve times in the playoffs 1970,
1972, 1975, 1979 and 1990, when
the Reds won their last World Series
title. The Reds are 13-7 against the
Pirates in the postseason. Pittsburgh
has played the Reds more than any
other team in the playoffs.
The Reds have gone into a deep
slump at a very bad time. Theyve
lost four in a row since clinching a
playoff spot with a 3-2 win over the
Mets on Monday night, scoring a
total of six runs.
They were at it again in the rst
inning on Saturday, leaving the
bases loaded when Todd Frazier
ied out.
Walker and McCutchen hit back-
to-back homers in the third for a
2-0 lead. Brandon Phillips had an
RBI single and Jay Bruce followed
with a two-run double for a 3-2 lead
in the third, Cincinnatis rst lead
since Monday.
And it didnt last long.
Alvarez led off the fourth inning
with a rst-pitch homer, tying it at
3. Alvarezs 36th homer gave him
100 RBIs. Walker hit his career-
high 16th homer in the fth inning
the rst multihomer game of his
career and Byrds two-run shot
ended Arroyos outing. Walker has
seven homers in September.
Lambos pinch-hit homer let the
Pirates tie the record for most by
a visiting team at Great American
Ball Park, which opened in 2003.

Brewers down Mets in 10th
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Carlos
Gomez homered and had
four hits, including a tie-
breaking single in the
10th inning that sent the
Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-2
victory over the New York
Mets on Saturday.
Yuniesky Betancourt
drove in two runs to help
the Brewers (74-87) win
their fourth straight as they
put together a strong nish
to a disappointing season.
Milwaukee has won the
rst three in a four-game
set at Citi Field all by
the same score to give
the club ve victories in its
nal seven series.
Despite their punchless
nish, the Mets are poised
to retain manager Terry
Collins.
Three people with
knowledge of the situation
told The Associated Press
that Collins is close to an
agreement to return. The
people spoke on condition
of anonymity because the
deal had not been nalized
and no announcement had
been made. Collins current
contract expires after this
season, his third in charge
of the Mets.
Cardinals 6, Cubs 2
ST. LOUIS Adam
Wainwright earned his
19th victory in a tuneup
for the NL division series
opener and Matt Holliday
homered again as the St.
Louis Cardinals showed
no letup after clinching the
NL Central, beating the
Chicago Cubs.
Holliday homered for the
second straight day and
Yadier Molina drove in two
runs for St. Louis (96-65),
which entered the day tied
with Atlanta for the NL
lead in wins. The Cardinals
have won ve in a row.
Wainwright (19-9)
allowed two hits in shut-
out 5 1-3 innings and tied
for the league lead in vic-

Hunter Pence, who
reached a tentative agree-
ment on a $90 million,
ve-year contract before
the game, hit a two-run
homer for the Giants. San
Francisco had won three in
a row.
Eric Stults (11-13)
pitched seven effective
innings to win his third
straight start after going
0-6 in his previous 10 starts.
He also helped himself with
an RBI single during a four-

MINNEAPOLIS The
Cleveland Indians moved
into the AL wild-card lead
on the next-to-last sched-
uled day of the regular sea-
son, beating the Minnesota
Twins 5-1 Saturday behind
Scott Kazmirs strong start
to extend their winning
streak to nine.
Seeking their rst post-
season appearance since
2007, the Indians (91-70)
took a one-game lead over
Tampa Bay and Texas
(both 90-71), who both lost
Saturday.
Cleveland is assured of at
least a tie for the AL wild
card. With three teams
seeking the two wild cards,
Sundays results could
decide the matter or lead
to one or two tiebreaker
games at the start of next

Tampa Bay Rays dropped
into a tie with Texas for the
second AL wild-card berth,
losing to Toronto as Ryan
Goins and Kevin Pillar hit
two-run home runs for the
Blue Jays and J.A. Happ
won for the rst time in
four starts.
The Rays (90-71) lost
their second straight fol-
lowing a seven-game win-
ning streak and dropped a
half-game behind Cleveland
(90-70), which was playing
at Minnesota. The regu-
lar season is slated to end
Sunday.
Adam Lind had two hits

Texas (90-71) won its
sixth straight and sec-
ond in less than 24 hours.
Cleveland and Tampa Bay
started the day tied for the
two AL wild-card spots at
90-70, a game ahead of the
Rangers.
The Rangers were down
three batters in, but the
Angels made ve errors for
a game for the rst time
since Sept. 16, 2006, also
at Texas.

SEATTLE Brad
Miller hit a pair of home
runs, including his rst
grand slam, and the Seattle
Mariners beat the Oakland
Athletics in a game that
decided division-series
matchups in the American

AL Central champion
Detroit, and AL East win-
ner Boston will start at
Fenway Park against the
team emerging from the
wild-card playoff: Cleveland
Tampa Bay or Texas.
Brandon Maurer (5-8)

HOUSTON Mariano
Rivera says he wont pitch
again before retiring on
Sunday.
When asked if hed pitch
in either of the two games
the New York Yankees

the Houston Astros, the
43-year-old closer said:
Im done guys, Im done.
Rivera last pitched on
Thursday night in the

Stadium. He made a tear-
ful exit to a standing ova-
tion when Derek Jeter and
Andy Pettitte came from
the dugout to remove him
with two outs in the ninth
inning of a loss to Tampa
Bay.
Rivera had expressed
interest in playing cen-
ter eld earlier this week.
But on Saturday he had a
change of heart, saying
that he didnt think his
knee was up to it.
And Alex Rodriguez says
dealing with his 211-game
suspension stemming from
baseballs Biogenesis drug
investigation has been a
big burden and adds
hes ready to face it head
on when the arbitration
hearing on his grievancel
begins Monday.
Rodriguez is with the
New York Yankees in
Houston this weekend,
though he doesnt expect
to play again this season
because of soreness in his
legs.
He says hes excited to
get the hearing started and
that he plans to be there
every day because: Im
ghting for my life and my
whole legacy.
Rodriguez was sus-
pended by MLB the day he
returned from hip surgery
on Aug. 5.
The 38-year-old is hit-

See any buck rubs yet? They should soon start
appearing as bucks have lost their velvet and will
look to polish their antlers by shredding a tree.
Actually, the real reason why bucks rub their antlers
on trees is territorial. And yes, most of the time the
bigger the rub means it was likely made by a large
buck.
Before bucks start rubbing, however, their ant-
lers are coated with a blood-rich velvet covering. It
protects and nourishes the developing antlers dur-
ing the summer months. The following pictures are
great examples of what a velvet buck looks like. I
wonder how big the rubs will be when these bucks
get their antlers on a tree this fall?
Barbara Wilson (bottom right) captured a picture
that almost looks like a painting with wildowers in
the background and a purple glow. Barbara captured
the image on July 31 in Hanover Township as the
sun was setting.
Rick Pavloskis trail camera (bottom left) caught
this large 8-point on a foggy morning on Game
Lands in Luzerne County last September. It likely
wasnt long before this bucks velvet began to dry
and shed.
Alex Gulitusz (top left) caught these two nice
bucks on his trail camera in Luzerne County in early
August. Bucks often pair up during the summer
months before going their own way in the fall.
Finally, Bobby Jordan Sr. (top right) has a trail
cam in Wyoming County and hell only identify the
location as his secret spot. After taking a look at
this large 9-point from August, its easy to under-
stand why Jordan wants to keep this spot to himself.

Pa. Game
Commission
meeting
roundup
The Pennsylvania Board of
Game Commissioners is consid-
ering a proposal to remove the
bald eagle from the states list of
threatened species, and theres
an opportunity for the public to
weigh in on the matter.
The board voted Tuesday to
open a period of public review
for a proposal to upgrade the bald
eagles status from threatened
to protected in Pennsylvania.
The board still would need to vote
once more before a change in sta-
tus would occur, and the commis-
sioners will take public comments
into consideration before making
their decision.
Tuesdays vote puts the propos-
al on a timeline to be approved as
early as January.
Criteria for removing the bald
eagle from the states threatened
species list are laid out in the
Game Commissions bald eagle
management plan. The plan calls
for delisting eagles as threatened
if four criteria are met for ve
consecutive years. There must
be at least 150 active nests state-
wide; successful pairs in at least
40 counties; at least a 60 percent
success rate of known nests; and
productivity of at least 1.2 eaglets
edged per successful nest.
Three of those criteria already
have been met for a ve-year span,
and eagles in 2013 will exceed for
a fth-straight year the require-
ment of nesting successfully in at
least 40 counties.
If the bald eagle is delisted, the
bird will continue to be protected
under the federal Bald and Golden
Eagle Protection Act (the Eagle
Act), the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act, and the Lacey Act. Under
the Eagle Act, those who harm
or disturb eagles are subject to
a civil penalty of up to one year
in jail or a $5,000 ne for their
rst offense, and criminal convic-
tions can result in nes as high as
$250,000.
Additionally, state penal-
ties for disturbing protected
wildlife include nes of up to
$1,500 and bolster protection for
Pennsylvania eagles.
Those wishing to submit
comments on the proposal to
remove the bald eagle from
the states threatened species
list may send them by email to
BaldEagleComments@pa.gov, or
via U.S. mail to the Pennsylvania
Game Commission, Attn. Bald
Eagle Comments, 2001 Elmerton

Energy leases approved
Also Tuesday, the board
approved a number of leases
with energy companies that
will result in more than $9 mil-
lion in initial revenue, and a yet
unknown amount of royalties.

Theres no denying that
when the Pennsylvania Game
Commission approved the
use of crossbows during the
archery season in 2009, it ben-
efited hunters.
Depending on the skill level
of the shooter, crossbows
exceed compound, recurve
and longbows when it comes
to accuracy and speed. Unlike
their traditional archery
counterparts, corssbows can
be pre-drawn which reduces
fatigue and are shouldered and
aimed like a rifle.
But can crossbow use in
archery season become too
much of a good thing?
Thats a concern that is on
the mind Jay Delaney, who rep-
resents the northeast region
on the PGC board of commis-
sioners. Delaney points to the
spike in the archery harvest
after crossbows were legalized
for all hunters in 2009. Prior
to then crossbows could only
be used by hunters possessing
a disabled permit or hunters
in three Wildlife Management
Units in the Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh areas.
Since they were allowed
statewide, the archery harvest
has increased by more than
25,000 since 2008 the last
year crossbows were prohib-
ited. The number of archery
hunters has also increased
over the same span a hike
of 37,000 since 2008.
A crossbow is a different
hunting tool, Delaney said.
And we now have more hunt-
ers taking more deer during
the archery season.
Specifically, Delaney is the
use of crossbows is resulting
in too many bucks being taken
in the archery season before
they have a chance to breed.
Its an issue that Delaney said
affects rifle hunters and those
who hunt with flintlocks and
muzzleloaders.
For the 2012-13 season,
the antlered deer harvest
was 42,220, an increase of
almost 11,000 since 2008. The
archery harvest for bucks has
increased every season since
crossbows became legal state-
wide, and last year crossbows
accounted for 48 percent of
the overall archey harvest,
according to PGC figures.
The number of bucks har-
vested in archery season con-
tinues to go up, and when the
rifle hunters arent seeing the
bucks thats one reason why,
Delaney said. We have to bal-
ance things for rifle, archery,
muzzleloader and flintlock
hunters. One thing we need
to continue to watch is when
does it become too much?
The answer is now, accord-
ing to Ed Krystofosky, owner
of The Archery Zone in
Larksville. Since crossbows
became legal for archery sea-
son almost four years ago,
Krystofosky said he has sold
more in his store each year.
It stunned me, he said.
Almost every store has seen
an increase.
Krystofosky, who is an avid
archery hunter and uses a
recurve bow, said longtime
archery hunters didnt neces-
sarily shift to using crossbows.
The hike in sales is the result
of another group of hunters.
Its mainly those who
never hunted archery before
are the ones now getting into
it. Theyre using crossbows
because its easier. Its basically
a modified gun, Krystofosky
said.
To me, a crossbow is defi-
nitely a more efficient way to
kill.
In addition to their accuracy,
Krystofosky said crossbows
hold an advantage over regu-
lar bows in that the string can
be pulled back and locked in
place, ready to shoot.
With a regular bow, if a big
buck sees you draw back, its
gone. All you have to do with
a crossbow is raise it to your
shoulder, he said.
While the increase in the
archery deer harvest signals
a hike in archery hunters,
Delaney said its a good thing
that more people are out hunt-
ing.
But there may also be a
downside, he cautioned.
Are we taking too many
pre-rut bucks? he said.
Our Bureau of Wildlife
Management is monitoring
this, and they havent brought
anything to the board yet.
PGC spokesman Travis
Lau said theres no specific
Cause for concern?

number that the agency
watches to determine if
the harvest is too large
but changes would be
recommended if the
monitoring turned up any
biological impacts on the
deer herd.
In general, we dont
really see hunting with
crossbows as being dif-
ferent than hunting with
other sporting arms, Lau
said. The antlerless har-
vest largely is controlled
through allocation, so
whether a doe tag is filled
with a bow, rifle or cross-
bow really doesnt mat-
ter from a management
standpoint.
The buck harvest
more directly, the per-
centage of the buck har-
vest coming from cross-
bows probably would
be more likely to influ-
ence a recommendation.
But at this point, with
crossbows accounting for
about 15 percent of the
total buck harvest, its
nowhere near any level of
concern.
While the archery har-
vest has increased since
2009, the more telling
factor behind the impact
of crossbows may be the
recovery rate.
Sweet Valley resident
Chris Denmon, who is
an avid archery hunter
and president of the
North Mountain Branch
of the Quality Deer
Management Association,
believes crossbows have
improved hunters effi-
ciency and, as a result,
reduced the amount of
deer that are hit and not
recovered.
When it comes to
archery, Denmon said,
some hunters dont log
as much practice time as
they should and are more
prone to making a poor
shot. Many times that
animal isnt recovered,
he said, and thus its not
reflected in the harvest
report.
With a crossbow, there
is a better chance of that
same hunter making a
good, ethical shot and
recovering that deer,
Denmon said. I believe
the recovery rate has
improved with cross-
bows. The accuracy is
better even with less
practice than is needed to
hunt with a bow.
Since crossbows
became legal for all hunt-
ers in 2009, the sale of
resident archery licenses
has increased every year.
The first year crossbows
were permitted archery
license sales jumped by
more than 14,000 the
year before. In 2012,
there were 37,000 more
archery licenses sold than
in 2008.
As far as crossbows
swelling the ranks of
archery hunters, Denmon
doesnt believe that will
have a significant impact
on the overall antlered
deer harvest. If a cross-
bow hunter didnt harvest
a buck during the archery
season, he will likely be
out there hunting again
in the rifle deer season,
he said.
Denmon has taken
plenty of bucks with
a compound bow but
switched to a crossbow in
2009. He hasnt thought
about going back to a
compound bow.
Still, Denmon cau-
tioned that crossbows do
have their limitations.
There is a misconcep-
tion out there as to their
capabilities, he said.
Theyre not a whole
lot faster than a tradi-
tional bow and you still
shouldnt take a longer
shot with a crossbow that
you wouldnt take with a
regular bow.

Crossbows
The statewide archery
deer season opens on
Oct. 5 and continues to
Nov. 16. The late season
runs fromDec. 26to
Jan. 11. In addition to
crossbows, hunters can
use compound, recurve
and longbows.
While the permitted use of crossbows may have
brought more hunters into the woods for the fall
archery season, its not the only factor leading to
what some consider are crowded conditions.
Ed Krystofosky, who hunts with a recurve bow, said
archers have to share the woods with those hunting
small game, turkey along with early antlerless
muzzleloader season and junior and senior hunters
out for the early antlerless rifle season.
Now youre putting rifles out there and Im
hunting with a stick and a string, Krystofosky said. I
have nothing against them being out there hunting.
My gripe is putting all these seasons together in one
big group. They should at least separate the more
advanced weapons like rifles, muzzleloaders and
crossbows and put them together.
Chris Denmon, who has hunted the archery season
with both traditional bows and crossbows, said the
conglomerate of seasons in the fall has actually
reduced hunting pressure.
Hunters are more spread out as opposed to those
intense, short seasons where everybody tries to get
out all at once, he said. I hunt mainly on private
land, so its never really been a factor for me.

ST. PAUL, Minn. The Big
Ten is ready to take the ice.
The venerable conference built
by storied football programs is
about to start its rst sanctioned
hockey season.
Big Ten anything is a big deal,
no matter what sport it is, and its
an honor to be a part of such a
prestigious league, said Penn
State junior forward Tommy
Olczyk.
Coaches and key players
from all six teams assembled on
Thursday at Xcel Energy Center,
the site of the inaugural confer-
ence tournament from March
20-22. That event will alternate
between St. Paul and Joe Louis
Arena in Detroit in the coming
years.
The Big Ten formation shook
up the sport at the major college
level, resulting in the creation
of a second league (National
Collegiate Hockey Conference),
the dilution of one (Western
Collegiate Hockey Association)
and the extinction of another
(Central Collegiate Hockey
Association). But the coaches
and players were naturally buzz-
ing with excitement about the
newsetup, rather than lamenting
the loss of some long-running
conference rivalries.
There is a little trepidation
with some of the fans at times,
but I do believe that theyre
going to see were going to have
at Minnesota the best of both
worlds, Gophers coach Don
Lucia said. Were part of the Big
Ten. Well continue to play our
in-state rivals, a lot of our former
rivals fromthe WCHAover time,
and I think its going to be a very
successful move for us in our pro-
gram.
Lucia added: After a few
years, it becomes the new norm.
Fans start to see the way the con-
ferences are, and all of a sudden,
you dont know any different.
MichigancoachRedBerenson,
who played for the Wolverines in
the late 1950s when they were
in the WCHA with the Gophers,
recalled a erce rivalry with the
potential for a modern renewal.
Whenever we played
Minnesota you could tell just
fromthe fans it was like a Stanley
Cup game, and Im hoping thats
what we get back into this confer-
ence, Berenson said.
The leagues rst ofcial game
will be onOct. 10whenMichigan
hosts Boston College, and the
Big Ten Network is planning to
show Friday night doublehead-
ers throughout the winter, the
hallmark of the enhanced brand
these programs are anticipat-
ing. Michigan, Michigan State
and Ohio State came from the
CCHA, and Minnesota and
Wisconsin left the WCHA. Penn
State, which played as an inde-
pendent in its inaugural season
in the sport, is the upstart under-
dog.
If we recruited you to come
to Penn State, we believe youre
someone hungry to accept that
challenge, coach Guy Gadowsky
said. We dont know. Trust me,
were not naive. We understand
very well howgreat the programs
are in the Big Ten Conference.
With the visibility of the Big
Ten Network, theres not much
doubt about this six-team league
becoming a nancial success,
even if purist fans will take a
while to get over the change.
Theres an anxiety shared around
the sport, though, about the via-
bility of the lower-prole leagues,
particularly the new-look
WCHA now lled with schools
that play in Division II in other
sports. Programs used to host-
ing Minnesota in WCHA games
or Michigan in CCHA contests
could have a harder time selling
tickets and recruits.
Michigan State coach Tom
Anastos formerly served as
CCHA commissioner, so he felt
the loss as hard as anyone.
Its not bittersweet. Im over
it, Anastos said. What Im
happy about is the CCHA had a
very nice run. All the programs
have found a home, and I think
the Big Ten opportunity is very
exciting, both for our member
schools and I think for college
hockey. So I think there is a lot of
good stuff in store.
The collective hope for the
future is that other schools will
follow Penn States lead and add
hockey as a varsity sport rather
than pull the plug on a ounder-
ing program.
Expansion is always good
because theres a ton of youth
hockey players out there who
have a dream of playing college
hockey, Wisconsin defenseman
Frankie Simonelli said.
The NCHC took North
Dakota, Denver, Colorado
College, Minnesota Duluth,
St. Cloud State and Nebraska
Omaha from the rest of the
WCHA core and added Miami
and Western Michigan from the
CCHA. But despite the reach of
the Big Ten Network and the tra-
dition and size of those schools,
the NCHC hasnt inched.
The Big Ten really hasnt
out-recruited our league at all,
Nebraska Omaha coach Dean
Blais said at Target Center in
Minneapolis, where the NCHC
held its preseason media session
at the site of its conference tour-
nament. One consistent thing
is that were going to be down
here at the Target Center every
year. Minnesota and Wisconsin
are going to be moving back and
forth from the Xcel every other
year. So were going to get a lot of
Minnesota fans over here when
they go to the Joe.
Said North Dakota coach Dave
Hakstol: I have no interest in
trying to be what somebody else
is. Were going to stay very deep-
ly rooted in the tradition of what
our program is, recruit to that
tradition and continue to be very
strong in the areas where weve
traditionally been strong.

Most of the lease agreements
result fromrequests by companies
that have strong leaseholds in the
surroundingareas, andalready are
in possession of the energy rights
on Game Commission properties.
The agreements ensure the fuels
are extracted with little to no sur-
face impacts on game lands.
Bat declines tobe considered
The board said Tuesday it will
be looking closely at what the
Game Commission might do to
help bat populations, which have
been in decline due to White-
Nose Syndrome (WNS).
White-Nose Syndrome is
caused by a fungus and affects
hibernating bats. The fungus,
which is white in color, accumu-
lates on the bats noses and wings,
and causes the bats to arouse
often during hibernation, leading
them to burn up crucial energy
reserves. Most of the bats aficted
with White-Nose Syndrome end
up dying, and the decline among
bat populations has been sharp.
The commissioners said any
actions they might take to help
bats need to be taken soon,
or the impact of WNS on bats
might be too severe.
I dont want to sit here in
two or three years and say its
too bad we didnt do anything,
Commissioner David Putnam
said.
The board said it would be
discussing the matter further
at its December working group
meeting.
PGC to get moving on quail man-
agement
The Pennsylvania Board of
Game Commissioners hope to
jumpstart the states quail man-
agement efforts, and it took action
toward that end.
The board formed a commit-
tee to oversee implementation
of the Game Commissions quail-
management plan, which includes
an initial survey to identify quail
habitat and determine how many
wild quail live in Pennsylvania.
Additionally, the board amend-
ed a nearly $3.9 million lease
agreement for oil and gas rights
to route $250,000 to wildlife man-
agement resources, specically
for the management of the north-
ern bobwhite quail.
Commissioner Jay Delaney of
Wilkes-Barre made the motion
to amend the lease, and it was
seconded by Commissioner
Brian Hoover, then approved
by a 5-2 vote. Commissioners
Ralph Martone and Charles Fox
voted against the measure, and
Commissioner Ronald Weaner
was absent.
Delaney said the Game
Commission should place pri-
ority on efforts to manage
bobwhite quail, since most
reports indicate the species is
in decline, and perhaps could
be considered endangered.
The commissioners said the
additional funding would help
in providing resources for quail
management.
Bobcat, river otter plans to be
released
The board voted to release to
the public newly-drafted manage-
ment plans for bobcats and river
otters in Pennsylvania.
The plans will be available on
the Game Commissions web-
site, www.pgc.state.pa.us, within
the next week, and there will be
a 60-day period for the public to
review the plans and submit com-
ments to the Game Commission.
The Board of Game
Commissioners will take all com-
ments into consideration when
casting future votes on the plans.
The Game Commission will
issue a news release when the
plans are available online.
Campfires on Game Lands limited
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission doesnt have a
problem with many of the small,
open campres set and main-
tained on state game lands.
Historically, hunters, trap-
pers, anglers and Appalachian
Trail through-hikers using state
game lands have been permitted
to use open res for cooking or
warming purposes.
Recently, however, theres been
an increase of open res at game
lands that have nothing to do with
the intended uses of game lands.
And to address that problem, the
Game Commission is putting lim-
its in place to regulate who can set
and maintain res at game lands.
Under the change, persons
setting campres on game lands
must possess a valid hunting,
furtaking or shing license,
or be through-hiking on the
Appalachian Trail. Precautions
must be taken to prevent the
spread of the re, and the res
must be attended at all times and
extinguished completely before
the site is vacated.
Fires will not be permitted at
times when the re index rating
used by the state Department
of Conservation and Natural
Resources is high, very high, or
extreme in that area.
A person causing a wildre,
in addition to facing possible
criminal penalties, is liable for
damages and the cost of extin-
guishing the re.

Kobe
uncertain
when hell
return
GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.
Kobe Bryant stepped off a
flight from Dubai and showed
up at the Los Angeles Lakers
training complex Saturday,
joining his teammates for the
first morning of training camp.
Although Bryant is globe-
trotting comfortably on his
surgically repaired Achilles
tendon, hes still uncertain
when hell join the Lakers on
their practice court as they
begin their return from a huge-
ly disappointing season for the
16-time champion franchise.
I feel good, Bryant said.
I dont think we have a par-
ticular timetable as to where
I should be right now, but Im
feeling good.
Kobe is more certain about
a few other things: Hell come
back strong from his injury,
and the Lakers can contend
for another title even without
Dwight Howard.
Our expectations are
always the same going into
every single season, Bryant
said. Improve every single
game with the goal in mind
of winning the championship.
Doesnt matter what anybody
else is saying. Thats the goal
that we have.
After an offseason that
began in mid-April when he
tore his tendon in a game
against Golden State, Bryant
likely is still a long way from
stepping on the practice
court. Yet nobody around the
Lakers is willing to predict any
timetable for an athlete with
almost supernatural recupera-
tive powers.
The fourth-leading scorer
in NBA history is running on
a special treadmill and doing
some court drills, but still isnt
sprinting or playing basket-
ball. Bryant knows he might
not be ready for opening night
Oct. 29, but hes not willing to
concede anything in his latest
comeback.
My goal is to play tonight,
you knowwhat I mean? Bryant
asked. Its about being smart
about it and pacing it the right
way and just seeing how it
does. I ts really just a strength
thing now. Im just seeing how
it holds up, and then how the
recovery holds up after that.
Bife refuses to count himself out
DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
DOVER, Del. Matt
Kenseth has Chase perfection.
Kyle Busch nailed the runner-
up nishes. And no driver can
touch the championship pedi-
gree of Jimmie Johnson.
Led by Kenseth, the top
three drivers in the Chase for
the Sprint Cup championship
standings have started to sepa-
rate themselves from the rest
of the eld with eight races
remaining.
But is the list of contenders
set? Have only three drivers
out of the 13-car eld really
emerged as the favorites to win
the championship?
Not so fast.
Carl Edwards is lurking in
fourth, and Greg Bife and
Kevin Harvick have certainly
stamped themselves as drivers
who can win races and wrest
the top spot away from Kenseth.
I cant imagine with eight
races to go that somebody
would be willing to say, Oh,
this is a three-man race, Bife
said.
As the Chase shifts Sunday
to Dover, the eld knows time
is running short to widen the
list of contenders. Theyll need
that perfect blend of strong n-
ishes and the hope that Kenseth
blows an engine or Busch and
Johnson wreck. Anything that
takes the top drivers out of the
checkered ag chase.
Kenseth, who has a series-
high seven wins, leads Busch
by 14 points and Johnson by
18. Edwards (36 back), Bife
(38), and Harvick (39) are still
in the mix.
Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon,
Ryan Newman, Clint Bowyer,
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Joey
Logano and Kasey Kahne
round out the eld. For some
perspective, Kahne is 71 points
behind Kenseth, more than a
full race behind the leader.
I wouldnt be the one putting
my name on the line to say there
are only three cars in this hunt
right now, Bife said. I wasnt
necessarily saying that for the
16 team. I wasnt making the
case that its not a three-man
race because of us. I wouldnt
count out Carl Edwards or any
of those other guys that are
right there in the hunt.
Bife, who was third last
week at New Hampshire,
knows as well as any driver
that a championship isnt won
in the rst two races. He was
the rst driver in Chase his-
tory to win the rst two races
(2008) of the 10-race playoff
and he followed with a third in
Kansas.
A strong showing, just
not stout enough to hold off
Johnson for the champion-
ship. Bife had four nishes
of 10th or worse and nished
third in the nal standings.

Loganos Dover win streak reaches four
DANGELSTON
APSportsWriter
DOVER, Del. His chase for
a Cup championship all but over,
Joey Logano turned his pursuit
toward Dover history.
Logano dominated at Dover
International Speedway once
more and took the checkered ag
in the tracks Nationwide Series
race for the fourth straight time.
Logano became the rst driver to
win four straight races at Dover in
NASCARs second-tier series.
He pulled away in the No. 22
Ford down the stretch Saturday
and was never seriously chal-
lenged for the win on the mile
track.
Its been my favorite race track
ever since I started here, he said.
With good reason. Logano has
swept the two Dover races the last
two seasons.
Logano, who started on the
pole and led 106 laps, won for
the third time this season. Four
drivers have won 11 times in the
No. 22 Ford, all with crew chief
Jeremy Bullins. Brad Keselowski,
AJ Allmendinger and Ryan Blaney
have all won in the No. 22.
There were a lot of streaks to
be kept alive today and we man-
aged to pull that off, Bullins said.
Kyle Larson was second, fol-
lowed by Kevin Harvick, Brian
Vickers and Elliott Sadler.
Sam Hornish Jr. was 17th and
had his points lead shrink to four
over Austin Dillon with ve races
left
If we could have lived up to our
potential today, I would feel a lot
better about it, Hornish said. We
go to some tracks that I really like.
Theres not a place that I dont like
that were going to go, so Imreally
excited about what weve got.
For all his Saturday success,
Logano has yet to transfer those
regular wins to the Sprint Cup
series. He has had only one top-
ve nish in nine career Cup
starts at Dover.
He blamed a string of bad
luck that derailed his Dover Cup
races.
Ive had a lot of fast race cars
here there were capable of run-
ning top ves, he said. Ive had
loose wheels, Ive had a at tire,
Ive had motors blowing up. Ive
gone through a lot at this race
track.
Logano made the Chase for
the Sprint Cup championship
eld in his rst season at Penske
Racing, though it came with a
dash of controversy because of
the Richmond scandal. His team
was placed on probation after
radio trafc appeared to show
Front Row Racings crew chief
and spotter talking about David
Gilliland giving Logano a pivotal
spot on the track in exchange for
something unidentied from
Penske Racing.

SECTION D
STEALS & DEALS
ALANA SEMUELS
Los Angeles Times
In a packed pub in midtown
Manhattan, Ryan Flagherty is sur-
rounded on three sides by people
clamoring for his attention.
He spins one way and pours a
shot of vodka into a glass, then turns
around and wedges a lime into a bot-
tle of beer, pushing it across the coun-
ter. Ignoring the annoyed gaze of a
bulky man on his right, he turns again
to a touch-screen register to ring up
the sales.
Its just a minute out of the gruel-
ing, physically demanding eight-hour
shift that will last long into the night.
But Flagherty, 28, isnt complaining.
With the generous tips of New
Yorkers and his pick of shifts, he pulls
in around $80,000 a year as a bar-
tender. Its more than he was offered
for various ofce jobs he considered
when he arrived in the city, even
though hes highly educated.
I have a masters in economics and
Im bartending in New York, he said
with a shrug. Its a good way to make
money.
A college degree once all but guar-
anteed a well-paying job and higher
earnings than high school graduates.
But fewer of these good jobs are now
available because of both long-term
economic changes and the lingering
effects of the Great Recession.
People such as Flagherty with col-
lege and advanced degrees are work-
ing jobs that dont require them,
whether by choice or necessity. That
in turn pushes people without college
degrees out of those jobs.
In 1970, only 2 percent of reght-
ers had college degrees; now 18 per-
cent do, according to Richard Vedder,
an economist at Ohio University. Less
than 1 percent of taxi drivers had a
college degree in 1970; now 15 per-
cent do. About 25 percent of retail
sales clerks have college degrees,
Vedder said.
The main reason is a pretty simple
one, he said. The number of col-
lege graduates has grown vastly faster
than the number of jobs that require
high-level education skills.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the
demand for college graduates started
booming, especially in the lead-up to
the tech boom, said Paul Beaudry, an
economist at the University of British
Columbia who has studied this trend.
Wages grew and a college education
paid off.
But when the tech bubble burst,
the economy was left with an over-
supply of college graduates. Some
went into industries related to hous-
ing or nance, and then the recession
wiped out those jobs. No industry has
emerged to employ all the people who
got college degrees in that time, he
said.
As more college graduates have
ooded the market, employers are
able to offer lower wages. The earn-
ings of college graduates have fallen
about 13 percent in the past decade,
according to Drexel University econo-
mist Paul Harrington.
Saim Montakim has a bachelors
degree in accounting but drives a New
York City taxicab. Its strenuous work,
but he can make $200 on a good day.
On a bad day, he barely can pay the
rent for the taxi and the cost of gas.
Hes getting a masters degree in
human resource management and
hoping that his dual degrees will help
him nd a better job. The account-
ing jobs he was offered upon gradu-
ation were all entry-level, paying $10
an hour. He prefers driving a taxi to
being stuck in an ofce from 9 to 5 at
that wage, he says.
Montakim, whoisfromBangladesh,
came to the U.S. to get an education.
He gured that with a college degree,
hed be able to nd a good job and
build a life for himself in America.
Now he acknowledges that his idea
that a job comes with a college educa-
tion might have been unrealistic.
Ive always had a dreamof being in
America, for an American education
in the United States, said Montakim,
38. But now I think my expectations
were too high. I was far, far beyond
reality.
Aside from his daily expenses,
Montakim has student loans to repay.
Because college is so expensive,
many students are facing a dilem-
ma: If they go to college, they still
might not get a job that requires a
college degree, and theyll be on the
hook for big student loan payments.
But if they dont go to college, they
might be pushed out of entry-level
jobs by overqualied college gradu-
ates who cant nd other work.
No degree required

Internet radio
becoming
mainstream
survey says
RYAN FAUGHNDER
Los Angeles Times
Internet radios drumbeat is get-
ting louder.
More than half of Americans who
go online listen to Internet radio ser-
vices, and consumers who use them
are using them more often, indicat-
ing the industry has become increas-
ingly mainstream, according to a
new study by Edison Research.
For the study, streaming services
Pandora Media Inc., Spotify and
TuneIn turned to Edison, based in
Somerville, N.J., to survey more than
3,000 people age 12 and up about
their online music consumption.
The study found that, for the rst
time, a majority of Web users 53
percent, to be preciselisten to
Internet radio outlets, including
personalized streaming, live online
audio and music on-demand.
This study conrms what weve
believed for some time: Audio
streaming has arrived, said John
Donham, chief executive of TuneIn,
a Palo Alto, Calif., company that
aggregates online radio stations and
streams to more than 40 million
active listeners. Its not just that
people are listening differently; more
audio streaming means more overall
listening.
Slightly more than two-thirds of
those surveyed said they listen to
more online radio than they did a
year ago as they access content on
more Internet connected devices.
More than 80 percent of smart-
phone owners said they listen to
some kind of Internet radio on their
mobile gadgets.
The advent of mobile listening
and the proliferation of choices for
the types of Internet audio have
transformed the medium from niche
activity to major media channel
in under ten years, Larry Rosin,
Edisons president, said in a state-
ment Tuesday.
Theres still plenty of room for the
industry to grow, especially in the
automobile market.
Almost 9 of 10 people listen to
radio in their cars, but only 17 per-
cent use Internet radio. (The survey
did not include statistics on satellite
services such as SiriusXM.)
The growth of Web streaming
doesnt mean traditional AM and
FM radio is losing out. The survey
said 90 percent of participants listen
to terrestrial stations.
This comes as entrenched stream-
ing Internet services are facing more
competition.
On Monday, Apple said its new
iTunes Radio service has brought in
11 million users, and that news sent
Pandoras shares down 10 percent.
Shares recovered slightly Tuesday,
rising 21 cents, less than 1 percent-
age point, to $24.47.
Stifel Nicolas analyst Jordan
Rohan said the introduction of
iTunes radio is not an existential
threat to Oakland, Calif.,-based
Pandora, which counts 72 million
users, but that Apple may take 10
percent to 15 percent of total listen-
ing hours from Pandora in the next
few months.
Investors had ignored the threat
of intensifying competition from
Apple, Rohan wrote in a note to cli-
ents Monday.
Pandoras share price has more
than doubled this year.

DALLAS At a time when work-
ers must take increasing responsibil-
ity for their own health insurance
and retirement savings, any glitch in
those areas can seriously harm their
personal nances.
Think about the frightening pros-
pect of believing all along that you
have health insurance
through your employer,
only to discover that
you dont because your
company is having
nancial problems.
Or believing that
youre on track saving
for retirement through
your 401(k), only to nd
out that your employer
hasnt been transferring
your contributions to
the savings plan. Both
occurrences are rare, but they do hap-
pen.
Out of the many companies that
sponsor retirement plans, this type of
action would be unusual, said Barry
Cowan, an employee benets attorney
and shareholder at Winstead Sechrest
& Minick in Dallas. First, most com-
panies consider this a true benet for
the employees, so they want to make
sure the funds are contributed on a
timely basis.
Second, contributions to retire-
ment plans and some health plans
are covered under federal law, he
said.
Both situations involve employ-
ers obligations under the fed-
eral Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, or ERISA, which sets
minimum standards for most private-
industry pension and health plans.
But that doesnt mean you should
blithely ignore the workings of your
employers heath and retirement
plans. Savvy employees are proactive
in monitoring their benets.
Things can turn south quickly when
a rm experiences extreme nancial
stress.
As businesses go into bad times,
one of the rst things they do is they
dont pay their payroll taxes in a time-
ly fashion, and they dont make their
(employee benets) contributions
in a timely fashion, said Thomas
White, an employee benets lawyer
and partner at Chapman and Cutler
in Chicago.
HEALTH INSURANCE:
Employers can structure their health
insurance plans in two ways: through
a fully insured plan or a self-
insured plan.
In a fully insured plan, the employer
pays premiums to an insurance com-
pany, which agrees to cover employ-
ees claims. The insurer assumes the
risk because its underwriting the
coverage.
It reduces the likelihood that your
claims wont be paid, because its
heavily regulated, said Gary Short, an
employee benets lawyer and partner
at Vinson & Elkins in Dallas. Fully
insured plans are required to have
reserves. While there could always
be fraud or corruption, thats very
unlikely.
Under self-insurance, employ-
ee medical bills are paid out of
the general assets of the employ-
er, and the company assumes
the risk. That also means that if

MarIe G. MCINtYre
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Q: I need to have a dif-
cult discussion with my
boss, who is the owner of
a small family business.
For twelve years, Craig
and I have had a wonderful
working relationship. He
has given me many oppor-
tunities, for which I am
extremely grateful.
Despite loving my job, I
have always hoped to even-
tually spend more time
with my children. My hus-
band now makes enough to
support our family, so we
have agreed that I should
become a full-time mom.
But Im afraid Craig may
misinterpret my decision.
Recently, our business
has been going through
tough times. Because of
declining sales, employees
have lost benets, and pay-
checks are frequently late.
When I announce my res-
ignation, Craig could feel
betrayed and assume that
Ive just given up on the
company.
To make matters worse,
I also need to ask for three
months of back pay that
he owes me. How should I
approach this conversation?
A: Combining a warm,
grateful farewell with a
request for money is like
putting hot peppers on ice
cream. Thetwosimplydont
go together well. Therefore,
a wiser approach would be
to separate these radically
different topics. First, meet
with Craig to explain your
family circumstances and
express your feelings about
leaving.
For example: Craig, I
need to let you know that
Jack and I believe our kids
should have a full-time
parent at home right now.
Unfortunately, that means
I will have to resign. This
was not an easy decision,
because I feel a great deal of
loyalty to you and the com-
pany. However, its the best
choice for our family.
Give Craig a few days
to absorb this news, then
politely mention the past-
due paychecks. If you
havent been reimbursed by
the time you depart, be sure
to get a signed acknowl-
edgement of the debt. Even
when relationships are
good, nancial agreements
need to be documented.
Q: My manager always
answers her phone, even
when were discussing
an important issue. This
makes me feel as though
Im not as important as
the person who is calling.
I think she should let these
calls go to voice mail and
return them later. Should I
suggest that?
A: Your distractible boss
probably doesnt intend to
be rude or insulting. Some
people simply have an
almost irresistible impulse
to respond immediately to
any stimulus in their per-
ceptual eld. This knee-jerk
reaction may be triggered
by ringing phones, incom-
ing emails, or someone
standing in the doorway.
Unlike some annoying
habits, this one can be con-
trolled with a little effort.
For example, your manager
probably ignores such dis-
tractions when talking with
her own boss. The question
for you, however, is wheth-
er critiquing her behavior
would be to your benet.
If your boss is receptive
to feedback, she may appre-
ciate hearing your point of
view. But if she tends to
react defensively, raising
this issue could be risky. In
that case, just keep remind-
ing yourself that these inter-
ruptions reect her lack of
self-control, not your lack of
signicance.

oFFICe CoaCH
your employer has nancial
problems, they could endan-
ger your health care cover-
age.
Generally, self-insured
plans dont have reserves,
so if the plan sponsor fails,
it might be unable to pay
claims, Short said. Note,
however, that such an event
is extremely unlikely, and
even in bankruptcy, medi-
cal claims are almost always
paid.
Employees shouldnt
worry needlessly, he said.
The problem that indi-
viduals sometimes run into
is a dispute over whether
a particular expense is cov-
ered, Short said. In that
regard, theres no reason to
think that youll have more
difculty with self-insured
vs. fully insured plans.
Theres another added
piece of security with fully
insured plans.
The nice thing about an
insured plan is you have con-
version rights, so when your
policy is terminated, it often
allows you to convert group
coverage to an individual
policy, said Felicia Finston,
also a partner and employee
benets attorney at Vinson
& Elkins.
The easiest way to ensure
that your health care bills are
being paid is to look at the
Explanation of Benets doc-
ument that your insurance
company sends you after
you le a claim. The EOB
spells out what doctor ser-
vices youve used, the cost,
howmuch the insurance will
cover and how much of the
charges you will have to pay.
Also, ask for a copy of
the health insurances sum-
mary plan description or
SPD. The plan administra-
tor must give you a copy.
The SPD tells you what the
plan provides and how it
operates.
You should take a look at
the summary plan descrip-
tion to see if there are any
limitations if there isnt any
money to pay the claims,
said White, the employee
benets lawyer at Chapman
and Cutler, who helps draft
self-insured health plans for
employers.
The language will say
something like, Benets
will be payable only to the
extent that there are assets
in the plan, he said.
If there are no assets or
not enough assets in the
plan, youd have to wait
until additional contri-
butions are made by the
employer or participant or
a combination, White said.
In self-insured plans, the
health insurance premiums
withheld from the employ-
ees paycheck must be con-
tributed to pay for premi-
ums within 90 days from
when they were withheld,
Cowan said.
Be aware that most health
care providers hold you
responsible for paying the
bill if your insurance doesnt
pay.
CHECKING ON YOUR
401(k): The situation with a
401(k) is different. For one
thing, you can go online and
check your balance and your
contributions. You can also
check the paper statements
you get.
Federal law requires
employers to transfer
employee 401(k) contribu-
tions as soon as its admin-
istratively feasible, said
Short, the employee benets
lawyer at Vinson & Elkins.
All 401(k) plans must
be held in trust, and the
employer is obligated to
transfer that money to the
trust as soon as reasonably
practical, he said.
If your employer matches
your 401(k) contributions,
the law generally permits
companies to wait until the
ling deadline for their tax
return, plus ling exten-
sions, to forward matching
funds, Cowan said.
Short said some com-
panies may delay transfer-
ring the matching money
because of nancial prob-
lems or because theyre
awaiting the results of dis-
crimination testing on their
401(k) plans thats aimed at
ensuring that all employees,
regardless of income, con-
tribute equally to a plan.
If the plan fails the test
and is found to favor highly
paid employees, the com-
pany would have to refund
the excess contributions to
those employees.
Some employers wait to
put in their matching contri-
butions so they dont end up
withrefunds at the endof the
year, Short said. But most
employers match contempo-
raneously with money taken
out of employee checks.
Employee benets attor-
neys said the government
takes very seriously the obli-
gation of employers to be
proper duciaries and good
stewards of the employee
assets theyre holding.
I spend a lot of time just
with(employer) committees
on the duciary side and
always discuss the timing of
contributions, Cowan said.
I put it right up there
with payroll taxes.
There are potential crimi-
nal sanctions for failing to
forward employee contri-
butions to the 401(k) in a
timely manner and for mis-
handling deductions from
employee paychecks for
health insurance, Cowan
said.
Thats something they
will jump on right away,
said Finston of Vinson &
Elkins. They dont mess
with it.
Indeed, the Labor
Department has brought
several cases this year
against companies for fail-
ing to transfer employee
retirement contributions to
the savings plans.
The way the government
sees it, the money belongs to
the plans, their participants
and their beneciaries, not
the employer.
The vast majority of
plans are administered hon-
estly, responsiblyandsafely,
said Bradford Campbell, act-
ing assistant labor secretary
at the Employee Benets
Security Administration.
We do see instances
where employers facing
cash ow problems in their
businesses have used work-
ers retirement funds or
health care contributions to
nance the companys oper-
ations, he said.
When we nd this seri-
ous violation of the law, we
take vigorous action to pro-
tect workers, retirees and
their families, including
seeking criminal prosecu-
tion where appropriate.

SMALLER IPOS
More companies are rushing to sell their stock to
investors: Twitter is considering an initial public
offering, and theme-park owner SeaWorld Entertain-
ment sold 26 million shares of its stock in an IPO
during the spring. Investors have seen roughly 140
IPOs this year, according to a preliminary count by
Dealogic. Thats up
from 98 in the first
nine months of
2012. But while the
number of deals is
up, the total value
is down. IPOs
have raised about
$32.5 billion in
2013, compared
with $32.9 billion in
the first nine
months of 2012.
BOO!
October has historically been middling for stocks, with an average monthly gain of
0.5 percent for the Dow Jones industrial average since 1950. But that long-term
average masks some horrors within: Halloweens month has been home to some
of the worst for investors, like 1987 when Black Monday struck and 2008 when the
financial crisis was near its peak.
Investors who follow the old market adage to Sell in May and go away are also
now looking to get back into the market. The saying is based on how much better
the Dow has done historically from Nov. 1 through April 30 each year an average
gain of 7.5 percent versus its performance for May 1 through Oct. 31 an
average gain of just 0.3 percent.

WHEN RATES ARE RISING
One of investors big fears is that rising interest rates will hurt stocks. They
got a taste of higher rates during the summer, when the yield on the 10-
year Treasury note climbed from 1.6 percent on May 1 to nearly 3 percent
on Sept. 5. But the Standard & Poors 500 index rose 4.4 percent during
that period. Surprised? Since 1970, certain sectors have historically done
well during months when the 10-year yield rose. Theyre mostly ones that
tend to do well when the economy is strong.

Title: President of personal
investing at Fidelity
Her suggestion to women: Play
an equal role in your retirement
savings plan
Interview by Stan Choe.Answers
edited for content and clarity.
Kathleen Murphy
More women are taking control of
the investment decisions for their
families, according to a survey of
married couples by Fidelity. The
percentage of women who say
theyre the primary decision-
maker for retirement savings is
19 percent, up from 9 percent in
2011. But some women are more
assertive than others, and it often
breaks down by age.
Surprisingly, younger women
are less likely to be even a joint
decision maker than Baby
Boomers. Only 45 percent of
women born from 1979 to 1988
say that they are, versus 58
percent of women born from
1946 to 1966. Kathleen Murphy
explains why that may be.
Were you surprised by the
survey?
In light of the fact that 53 percent
of breadwinners in the country
are women and that women are
earning more than ever, I was
hoping to see more progress
from Generation Y. For couples,
theres always some division of
duty, and women have deferred
to men for investment decisions. I
also think financial planning can
be an intimidating topic, and too
many women lack confidence in
their ability. I find that ironic given
that we have a separate study on
401(k) participants that says
women are very good investors:
They stick with a plan, they dont
take as much risk and they take a
long-term view on their invest-
ments.
Why does it matter whether
women are ceding control of
the investment decisions to
their partners?
At some point in their life,
statistically speaking, women will
have to handle their finances on
their own. Whether its because
of the divorce rate or because
they outlive men by an average
of five years, they have to rely on
themselves at some point in their
life.
Whats the goal? Should every
decision be a joint one
between both partners?
The goal is threefold: First, that
the couple has meaningful
conversations about these
issues. When youre young, its
about debt management and
expense management. As you
get older, its about: Are we
saving enough? What does
retirement look like? Second, that
they do collaborate. That doesnt
mean that they have to make
every decision jointly, but both
parts of the couple should have
some understanding of what the
overall goal is and how the plan
is executed. Third, that they pay
attention to how the goal is
going: Are they on track?
How often should couples
meet to talk about this stuff?
A good practice is quarterly. If
thats too much, at least annually.
They probably talk to each other
about taxes annually and their
vacation annually. Why not your
financial future annually?
More women
are taking
the reins

Currency checkup
The value of the U.S. dollar has had a tumultuous
ride over the last year. Shifting expectations about
whether the Federal Reserve would take action to
reduce its monetary stimulus has periodically jolted
the currency markets.
The U.S. central bank has yet to take action, but
is still expected to scale back its bond purchases at
one of its upcoming meetings in late October, in
mid-December or sometime early next year so
tapering isnt off the table.
Over the last year, the value of the dollar has
fluctuated against the euro, but it ultimately lost
ground.
Against the Japanese yen, the dollar has
essentially shot straight up. Thats been fueled by
the countrys monetary stimulus program. One goal
of the program was to lower the value of the yen.
Thats good for Japanese exporters because it
raises the value of their overseas earnings and
helps make their products less expensive abroad.

Investors should have Oct. 17 circled on their
calendars.
Thats when the Treasury Department says that
it will hit its credit limit and can no longer borrow to
pay its bills. In the meantime, politicians in
Washington are arguing about whether to allow the
government to borrow more. If they dont reach a
deal, the government could default on its debt for
the first time ever.
A similar argument occurred in August 2011 and
led Standard & Poors to downgrade its credit
rating for the U.S. government. It also sent a shock
through the markets, pushing the S&P 500 index
to swing by at least 4 percent for four straight days.
One argument within the current battle is how
much federal government spending should be
cut. Agencies throughout the federal
government are already contending with
automatic spending cuts that took effect earlier
this year.
This screen shows stocks that could be most
affected by additional cuts in government
spending. All of the companies get more
than 80 percent of their revenue from federal,
state and local governments.

Mortgage rates drop
Average rates on fixed mortgages fell to their low-
est point in two months. The decline followed the
Federal Reserves decision this past week to hold
off slowing its monthly bond purchases.
The average rate on the 30-year mortgage
dropped to 4.32 percent from 4.50 percent last
week. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Trea-
sury note slipped to 2.61 percent.

The buying power of
African-Americans contin-
ues to grow, but advertisers
are missing the mark by
passing over black-oriented
media.
That is the conclusion
of a Nielsen report, which
shows that of the $75 billion
spent last year in the U.S.
on television, magazines,
Internet and radio advertis-
ing, less than 3 percent went
to media focused on black
audiences.
With 43 million blacks in
the U.S. representing about
14 percent of the population
more than half under the
age of 35 advertisers are
not effectively reaching a
growing population project-
edto account for $1.3 trillion
in consumer spending by
2017, according to Nielsen.
In short, the message and
the medium matter when
selling everything from
feminine hygiene products
to Big Macs, both of which
are purchased more heav-
Advertisers overlook black media, report fnds

There are only a few airplane suppli-
ers (think Boeing and Airbus), so if
youre running an airline, its difficult
to play one against the other, negoti-
ating for a great price. Meanwhile, if
hospitals need to buy a certain drug,
they dont have many options.
When there are many suppliers,
they generally have to compete more
to win business, and that can lower
prices for buyers.
Bargaining power of buyers.
This is affected by brand power,
switching costs, the relative volume
of purchases, standardization of the
product, and elasticity of demand
(where demand increases as prices
fall, and vice versa). Wal-Mart can
dictate terms to many suppliers
because of its size.
Availability of substitutes. The
cable TV business is threatened by
the growth of substitutes such as
streaming video.
Competitive rivalry. The more
competitive an industry is, the more
likely you are to have price wars
and reduced profitability. Examples
include supermarkets, airlines
and hotels.
Consider these forces, and you might
determine that an industry is more or
less attractive than you thought.
The Motley Fool Take
A Steely Stock
If you expect our recovering global
economy to boost demand for steel
as more construction and infrastruc-
ture projects get underway, then
you should consider adding steel to
your portfolio. Meet Nucor (NYSE:
NUE), a compelling steel company.
Nucor has grown into the larg-
est U.S.-based steel producer by
doing things differently. For starters,
none of Nucors plants are union-
ized. But it still treats its employees
well, offering a performance-based
compensation plan including profit
sharing and a 401(k). (Thats right
no pension.)
The company hasnt laid
off an employee for financial
reasons in more than 30 years.
Unlike its rivals, Nucor has been
profitable in almost every year of the
past decade, even with a recent over-
supply depressing steel prices.
Whereas steelmakers typically
have huge central facilities, Nucor
employs smaller, efficient, locally
based mini-mills. It also crafts a lot
of steel from scrap metal instead of
via metallurgical coal. Nucor recently
bought Skyline Steel, specializing in
large-scale steel foundations, which
will boost its range of operations.
With a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio
in the 30s, the stock doesnt appear
to be cheap. But those numbers will
change as earnings pick up, and
Nucor merits at least a spot on your
watch list. For patient believers, its
dividend recently yielded 3.1 percent.
(The Motley Fools newsletter ser-
vices have recommended Nucor.)

My Dumbest Investment
Impatience Hurts
I manage my brothers portfolio
and my own. I bought Visa at
$110 for the two of us. When it
was near $130, I called it quits.
Boy, that was dumb it has
recently been near $180. I made
my brother continue to hold it, and
hes sitting pretty. Sometimes I
feel like I give him better advice
than I give myself.
There are lots of these examples.
I bought 3-D Systems at $33 for
my brother after it plummeted,
and I sold it for around
$40. Its now near $52. I
bought Bank of America at
$6.50, watched it fall, and
sold it once it returned to $6.50.
It hit $15 later. So many future
profits missed! I also bought
Coffee Holding Co. in 2011 on
the recommendation of a CNBC
article. I held for a 30 percent loss
before I concluded that it was a
bad position.

Splitting Shares
Q
Where can I look up a com-
panys recent stock splits?
H.W., Prescott, Ariz.
A
You can start with the
company itself, by calling
its investor relations department.
If youre online, head to finance.
yahoo.com, enter the companys
ticker symbol and click Look
Up. Then choose Basic Chart
in the blue bar on the left. Right
under the chart and above more
data youll find a list of recent
splits. A 3:1 notation reflects
a split where shareholders got
three shares for every one they
owned. For lists of past and
upcoming splits, visit
biz.yahoo.com/c/s.html.
Stock splits are generally
non-events, though. The share
price gets adjusted down in propor-
tion to the increase in share count.
So while suddenly owning more
shares can be exciting, its not too
meaningful. Pre-split, you might
have owned 100 shares priced at
$40 per share (total value: $4,000).
Post-split, your 200 shares are
worth about $20 each, for a total of
$4,000. Not much has changed.
***
Q
When stocks fall, should
I move my money into
bonds, and vice versa?
A.N., Endicott, N.Y.
A
Do that, and youll be selling
low, instead of buying low
and selling high. Think for
yourself and dont follow
the crowd. Decide, for
example, how much of
your nest egg you want to keep
in bonds. Young people might
want to be close to 100 percent
in stocks, while those near or in
retirement might want to have a
chunk of their money in bonds.
Stick with your desired allocation
until you have a good reason
to change it. The reason to
diversify across categories is
so that when one slumps, the
other might offset the loss
(though that doesnt always
happen). Healthy fallen stocks
tend to recover.

Competitive Forces
When studying a company as a
possible investment, you should
develop a solid understanding of its
industry. Harvard Business School
professor Michael Porter laid out
five competitive forces in his book
Competitive Strategy (Free Press,
$40). Give them some thought when
researching businesses:
Threat of entry. Assess how
expensive it is to enter the industry,
the economies of scale, switching
costs and brand value. Its easier,
for example, to enter the lawn ser-
vice industry than the automobile
industry one requires some
relatively inexpensive equipment,
while the other requires factories,
distribution networks and much
specialized knowledge.
Switching costs protect companies,
too. When consumers can easily
switch from one product to another,
companies have to work harder
to keep them. Brands also mat-
ter. Many consumers would rather
buy a brand-name product than an
unknown brand.
Bargaining power of suppliers.

ily by African-Americans
than the general population,
according to the report.
African-American con-
sumption patterns are, in
some areas, higher than the
total market, said Nielsen
Senior Vice President
Cheryl Pearson-McNeil.
Advertisers are not adver-
tising in sync with the
consumption patterns and
behaviors and habits of the
African-American consum-
er.
The study, released last
week, nds that blacks
watch 37 percent more tele-
vision than any other group,
spending more than seven
hours per day viewing TV.
Cable channel BET (for-
merly Black Entertainment
Television) is the favorite
network among African-
Americans, with four of the
top 10-rated total day pro-
grams through June. Several
network shows, including
ABCs Scandal, which
stars black actress Kerry
Washington, also cracked
the top 10. But Pearson-
McNeil said numbers dont
tell the whole story when it
comes to reaching the black
consumer.
Because there are no
language barriers, the
assumption is, I can reach
African-Americans with
the same ads that I can
reach the general market,
Pearson-McNeil said. In
reality, there are a lot if cul-
tural nuances that resonate
more with blacks that
could actually drive up mar-
ket share if you incorporated
them into your marketing
strategy.
Thats the pitch that has
been made by Chicago-
based Johnson Publishing
Company for more than 70
years. Johnson publishes
two of the oldest and largest
magazines geared toward
African-Americans
Ebony and Jet. Both have
undergone recent redesigns
in an effort to attract more
readers and revenue, but a
striking advertising dispar-
ity between those publica-
tions and general interest
magazines still exists.

WALTER HAMILTON and
SHAN LI
Los Angeles Times
Five years ago, the
future looked bright for
Janet Barker and her fam-
ily.
The eighth-grade
English teacher had a
secure job with annual
raises. Her younger daugh-
ter was excited to be start-
ing at the University of
California-Santa Cruz.
Her divorce was about
to be nalized, and she
would soon have her small
two-bedroom house in
Redondo Beach, Calif., to
herself.
After years of tending to
others, Barker looked for-
ward to a few indulgences.
There would be long-
delayed travel to Europe
and charity work in Africa.
She toyed with the idea of
moving to the East Coast.
Then the nancial
crisis struck in 2008.
She has abandoned her
dreams, and these days,
shes just trying to hold
her family together. Five
people squeeze into her
1,000-square-foot house
because they cant afford
to live anywhere else.
Shes supporting her ex-
husband, their daughter,
an unemployed son-in-law
and a grandchild.
Although the economy
is recovering and stock
prices are setting records,
millions of middle-class
Americans have been left
behind.
Their nancial expecta-
tions have been greatly
diminished.
Income has stagnated.
Jobs are still hard to come
by. Unemployed people
who nd work often have
to take pay cuts.
The hardships cut across
all age groups. Young peo-
ple are saddled with stu-
dent debt and have a hard
time nding jobs they
want after college.
Mid-career workers are
supporting their grown
children and aging parents
while worried about their
own nances. And older
people who lose their jobs
may never get another
one.
American workers are
between two uncomfort-
able realities: Either they
are working and terried
about the future, or they
are not working at all,
said Carl Van Horn, a labor
economist and director of
the Heldrich Center for
Workforce Development at
Rutgers University.
To help pay the mort-
gage, Barker rents her
converted garage to a
childhood friend.
A few nights a week, she
takes care of her 2-year-old
grandson, who sleeps in a
crib in her room.
Theres no space for his
mother, Jenny Barker, who
stays with friends. Jenny
gave up her apartment
because her ower shop
was struggling.
Janet, 57, looks on the
bright side: The turmoil
has drawn her family clos-
er together. She treasures
the time with her grand-
son.
She enjoys long conver-
sations with her new son-
in-law at mealtimes.
Its sort of like an old-
fashioned family, she
said. They used to move
under one roof and help
each other. Thats what
were doing.
But she cant help but
wonder how they all
slipped so far, so fast.
I wonder how many
other people who look like
theyre coping are hav-
ing the same experiences
as us, she said. I dont
know how much more I
can take.
Janet Barker grew up
in Redondo Beach in the
1960s and 70s, infused
with a sense of civic pur-
pose by watching John
F. Kennedy and Martin
Luther King Jr. on her
familys sage green Philco
TV.
I lived in the formida-
ble years when there was
hope and promise, she
recalled. We were going
to make the world better.
She married her college
boyfriend at age 21. The
marriage zzled but pro-
duced two children, Ryan,
now 36, a transport expert
in aerospace, and Jenny,
33, the oral shop owner.
In her 20s and 30s, Janet
worked as a reporter at the
Daily Breeze, a newspaper
in Torrance, Calif., where
she met Bruce Hazelton, a
staff photographer.
They married in 1986,
and their daughter Katie
was born four years
later. In 1994, the couple
scratched together a down
payment on a $260,000
California bungalow.
Today, a white picket
fence encircles a property
blooming with roses, lav-
ender and a strawberry
patch. The mailbox is a
replica of the house itself,
crafted by Hazelton. The
interior is awash in pastel
shades of blue, green and
pink. A backyard of spruce
and silk oak trees serves
as an oasis of sorts.
In 2002, Barker changed
careers and became a full-
time teacher at Parras
Middle School in Redondo
Beach. The family was
careful with spending.
There was always enough
for a new computer or a
bike for Katie.
Barker was better off
than her parents, who
refolded aluminum foil to
use again.
You couldnt go on big
trips and you couldnt go
out to eat all the time,
but you always had food
in the fridge, she said.
It wasnt terrible. It was
a step up from the way I
grew up, denitely.
The years leading up to
the economic crisis were
the familys best nan-
cially because Barker and
Hazelton were both work-
ing. And though their mar-
riage was ending, the split
was amicable. Hazelton
had planned to move out
after Katie left for college.
Then he lost his job.
One day in January
2009, Bruce Hazeltons
boss sent him to the
human resources depart-
ment. There, the 29-year
employee earning $52,000
a year was let go.
Hazelton was devastat-
ed. He had just turned 60.
The economy was tank-
ing, and he wasnt able to
get another full-time pho-
tography job.
Eventually, he looked
for any kind of work. The
low point came when he
was passed over for a
job unloading trucks at a
department store.
He became disconso-
late. He lost his appetite.
He barely spoke.
I liken it to having an
undiagnosed cancer of
the soul, Hazelton said.
This illness I had ate
away at everything I val-
ued in my life, including
my self-esteem, my ego,
my drive and my purpose
in life.
Janet Barker endured her
own professional hardship.
Her once-automatic
raises were replaced by
furlough days that sliced
into her income, which is
now about $68,000 a year.
Sitting in her darkened
kitchen two weeks ago,
a glass of red wine at her
elbow, Barker looked at her
bank statement with dread.
She let out a sigh.
Teachers dont get paid
during the summer, and
her bank account had
dwindled.
She had $1,401.50 in
her checking account and
$2,586.28 in savings. She
owed $4,668 on a Visa
credit card.
Katie Barker-Hazelton
thought that by the time
she graduated, the econo-
my would have rebounded.

GooglesHummingbird hatches newsearch formula
MICHAEL LIEDTKE
APTechnology Writer
MENLO PARK, Calif.
Google has quietly
retooled the closely guard-
ed formula running its
Internet search engine
to give better answers to
the increasingly complex
questions posed by Web
surfers.
The overhaul came as
part of an update called
Hummingbird that
Google Inc. has gradu-
ally rolled out in the past
month without disclosing
the modications.
The changes could
have a major impact
on trafc to websites.
Hummingbird represents
the most dramatic altera-
tion to Googles search
engine since it revised
the way it indexes web-
sites three years ago as
part of a redesign called
Caffeine, according to
Amit Singhal, a senior
vice president for the
company. He estimates
that the redesign will
affect the analysis of about
90 percent of the search
requests that Google gets.
Any reshufing of
Googles search rankings
can have sweeping rami-
cations because they steer
so much of the Internets
trafc. Google elds
about two of out every
three search requests in
the U.S. and handles an
even larger volume in
some parts of Europe. The
changes could also drive
up the price of Google ads
tied to search requests if
websites whose rankings
are demoted under the
new system feel they have
to buy the marketing mes-
sages to attract trafc.
The search ads and
other commercial pitch-
es related to Web con-
tent account for most of
Googles revenue, which is
expected to approach $60
billion this year.
Google disclosed the
existence of the new
search formula Thursday
at an event held in the
Menlo Park, Calif., garage
where CEO Larry Page
and fellow co-founder
Sergey Brin started the
company 15 years ago.
Google celebrates its
birthday on Sept. 27 each
year, even though the com-
pany was incorporated
a few weeks earlier. The
company is now based
in Mountain View, Calif.,
at a sprawling complex
located about seven miles
from the 1,900-square-
foot home where Page
and Brin paid $1,700 per
month to rent the garage
and a bedroom. The co-
founders landlord was
Susan Wojcicki, who is
now a top Google execu-
tive and Brins sister-in-
law.
Wojcicki sold the home
to Google in 2006 and it is
now maintained as a mon-
ument to the companys
humble beginnings.
Googles renovations
to its search engine
havent triggered wide-
spread complaints from
other websites yet, sug-
gesting that the revi-
sions havent resulted in
a radical reshufing in
how websites rank in the
recommendations. The
Caffeine update spurred
a loud outcry because it
explicitly sought to weed
out websites that tried
to trick Googles search
engine into believing their
content was related to
common search requests.
After Caffeine kicked in,
hundreds of websites that
consistently won a cov-
eted spot near the top of
Googles search results
had been relegated to the
back pages or exiled com-
pletely.
Hummingbird is pri-
marily aimed at giving
Googles search engine
a better grasp at under-
standing concepts instead
of mere words, Singhal
said.
The change needed to
be done, Singhal said,
because people have
become so reliant on
Google that they now rou-
tinely enter lengthy ques-
tions into the search box
instead of just a few words
related to specic topics.
With the advent of
smartphones and Googles
voice-recognition tech-
nology, people also are
increasingly submit-
ting search requests in
sequences of spoken sen-
tences that resemble an
ongoing conversation.
That trend also factored
into Googles decision to
hatch Hummingbird.
Just as Page and Brin
set out to do when they
started Google in a
garage, we want to keep
getting better at helping
you make the most of your
life, Singhal said.
Besides Hummingbird,
Google also announced
a few other updates to
existing search features
aimed at providing infor-
mation more concisely so
people wont need to navi-
gate to another website.
These changes are part of
Googles effort to adapt
to the smaller screens of
smartphones that arent
well suited for hopscotch-
ing across the Internet.
The additions pri-
marily affect Googles
Knowledge Graph, an
encyclopedia-like box that
increasingly appears at
the top or alongside the
search results, and Google
Now, a virtual assistant
that tailors key informa-
tion suited to each users
habits, interest and loca-
tion.
Besides providing infor-
mational snapshots of
famous people and land-
marks, the Knowledge
Graph is now capable of
comparing the attributes
of two different things,
such as olive oil and coco-
nut oil. It will also be pos-
sible to ask the Knowledge
Graph to sort through cer-
tain types of information,
such as the creative evolu-
tion of various artists.

A few words on the new pope.
Since ascending to the papacy in March, the
former Jorge Mario Bergoglio has managed
to surprise and impress the religious and irre-
ligious alike by living a brand of faith seldom
seen on the public stage. Pope Francis insists
on carrying his own bags, liv-
ing in a simple apartment and
cooking his own supper. He
has largely shunned the papal
Mercedes-Benz in favor of a
5-year-old Ford Focus.
One of the earliest acts of his
papacy was to wash and kiss the
feet of a dozen young prisoners,
two of them girls, at least one of
them a Muslim.
But the pontiffs appeal has
not been solely stylistic. It has
also been a matter of substance.
This is, after all, the pope who famously asked,
Who am I to judge? gay people. And who crit-
icized Catholics as narrowly obsessed with
abortion, same-sex marriage and contracep-
tion. And who called his church to be for the
poor. And who said God loves atheists, too.
Tellingly, the pope has not yet sought
to change any bedrock teaching of Catholicism.
Still, his vision of a more compassionate and
inclusive church has won himrave reviews from
across the cultural spectrum. Thomas Groome,
a theology professor at Boston University,
called him a breath of fresh air.
Columnist Michael Gerson described him
approvingly as a disruptive force. Jon Stewart
of The Daily Show said, I love this guy!
Chris Rock tweeted that the new pope might
be the greatest man alive.
It is a shower of unaccustomed approbation
that should leave Christians, well a little
embarrassed.
They we should ask what it tells us
that a pope models humility, inclusion, unpre-
tentiousness, concern for the poor and non-
judgmental, small c catholic love and peo-
ple are surprised.
Indeed, it generates
headlines around
the world.
What it should
tell us is that people
are not used to see-
ing those virtues
from people of faith.
Their praise, then,
amounts to a stark
indictment.
Lets consider
for a moment the
washing of the feet.
Though Francis broke with tradition by includ-
ing prisoners, women and non-Christians, the
ritual itself is an old one based in one of the
more poignant incidents in the Bible.
The book of John recounts how Jesus, in the
hours before his crucixion, decides to teach
his disciples one last lesson. He kneels before
them and washes their feet.
People call this an act of humility.
If you are a Christian, that word is not near-
ly strong enough for the idea of God incar-
nate, the Creator of Creation, the Author of
Everything, wiping dirt and camel dung from
the feet of these often dull-witted shermen
and then telling them explicitly that He is set-
ting an example He wants them to follow.
Take care of one another. Serve one another.
And, for Gods sake, love one another.
It is an example of seless service faith
as obligation, not license that seems wholly
alien to much of modern American Christianity.
There, when people speak of faith, it
often means some pious politician likening
poor people to stray animals. Or some Bible
Belt town orga-
nizing to keep
the Muslims
out. Or some
preacher preach-
ing that he prays
for President
Obama to die.
Or some pun-
dit using God
as his excuse
for condemning
people by the
millions based
solely upon who
and how they love. Small wonder Americans
who seem increasingly disenchanted by faith
and polls, like the 2008 American Religious
Identication Survey, nd the inuence of
organized religion to be waning.
Then we see this new pope declaring the
dignity of the poor, the inclusion of the margin-
alized, the denial of self, the innity of Gods
compassion, and people are surprised by this
new thing.
But the very fact that they are surprised
speaks volumes. Because isnt that what faith
was supposed to be all along?

OUR BLUE RIBBON
Wycallis Elementary
ofers lessons for all
Wycallis Elementary
school has long been a bit
different than most area
grade schools, thanks to
kid-friendly construc-
tion that includes a lobby
with log cabin style walls
and a clock bigger than
many of the students.
Last week it it earned
a distinction no other
school can ever obtain:
First in Luzerne County
to be designated a nation-
al Blue Ribbon School.
Its no small accom-
plishment, considering
the Blue Ribbon program
has been run by the U.S.
Department of Education
since 1982.
Thats three decades
before a Luzerne County
School made the grade.
In that time about 7,000
schools earned Blue
Ribbons nationwide.
Superintendent Frank
Galicki said the district
has been aiming for Blue
Ribbon designation for
about a decade.
The designation hing-
es in part on high scores
in state reading and math
tests.
This years winners
were judged on test
results from 2011-12 and
2012-13, which means
it was the current fifth-
grade students who
helped nabbed the honor.
But Wycallis has been
posting strong results
since the tests were first
implemented nearly 20
years ago, so it not sim-
ply a case of a particu-
larly bright batch of stu-
dents passing through
the classrooms.
Clearly the school has
found the right chemis-
try to improve academic
achievement, even as
its enrollment of special
needs and low-income
children two groups
that statistically struggle
with standardized tests
increased over the
years.
Some of that chemistry
is likely things like the
Response to Instruction
and Intervention model
Principal Reinhert said
helps adjust individual
lessons to a students
needs, or the way teach-
ers incorporate fun into
lessons such as the living
wax museum that gets
kids to study and dress
like famous historic
people, or the relaxation
tricks of dance parties
and circuses that are
done the day state tests
are taken.
But the real trick, one
suspects, is fostering col-
laboration and sharing
strategies among teach-
ers.
As reading specialist
and coach Caitlin Cooper
said, The recipe for our
success is that its not
academics first, its tak-
ing care of each other
and taking care of the
kids.
Thats exactly the kind
of thinking you would
expect to win a Blue
Ribbon.
OTHER OPINION: HEALTH CARE
Senators serve selves,
not public, with antics
Remember Diogenes,
the Greek philosopher
who carried a lantern in
daylight as he walked the
streets of ancient Athens
in search of an honest
man?
His frustration would
be multiplied if he roamed
the halls of Congress.
A prophylactic dose
of cynicism would be
necessary before trying
to divine the intentions
of slippery politicians
depicted as paragons of
virtue.
Consider Republican
Sens. Ted Cruz of
Texas and Mike Lee of
Utah, whose convoluted
scheme to defund the
Affordable Care Act is
so poorly devised that it
may have been proposed
primarily to provide the
politically ambitious duo
with all the media atten-
tion they have enjoyed in
recent weeks.
Cruz and Lee per-
suaded their tea-party-
steeped peers in the
House to pass a bill to
fund all government
operations except further
implementation of the
ACA starting Oct. 1. But
they are being disingenu-
ous in that much of the
spending for Obamacare,
as with Medicare and
Social Security, cannot
be stopped.
The House bill is
unlikely to survive in the
Senate as written, and
President Obama is cer-
tain to veto it if it some-
how does.
So what do Cruz and
Lee have to gain from
pushing their proposal
other than name recog-
nition that might help
them seek national office
in 2016?
Now that the House has
passed the bill, Cruz is
urging his Senate breth-
ren to use the filibuster to
prevent the Democratic
majority from approving
Obamacare funding. If
Senate Republicans stay
strong and hold true,
Cruz wrote in an article
for RealClearPolitics,
we will force Democratic
Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid to keep the
government open or shut
it down in the name of
funding a glitch-riddled
health-care takeover.
Its either blind ambi-
tion or just blindness
that keeps Cruz and Lee
from seeing what is obvi-
ous to Republicans with
more mileage on their
odometers: the prospect
of a repeat of 1996, when
Republicans shut down
the government and vot-
ers responded by reelect-
ing Bill Clinton.
New polls show that
Americans overwhelm-
ingly oppose defunding
Obamacare at the cost of
a government shutdown.
But that could happen
if Congress cant pass a
continuing budget reso-
lution by Oct. 1.
Cruz says the House
should not give in even
if Senate Democrats add
Obamacare funding to
the bill and send it back
to the lower chamber. He
says the House should
then pass separate bills
to fund different parts of
government but not the
ACA.
Cruz maintains that
he only wants to pro-
tect Americans from
Obamacare, which he
says is hurting almost
every sector of the econ-
omy.
Thats quite an accom-
plishment for a program
that has yet to be imple-
mented and which
can be revised as needed
after its been cranked
up.
The dangerous steps
toward a shutdown that
Cruz and his cabal are
willing to take, either
now or when the debate
turns to raising the debt
ceiling, have more to do
with enhancing their sta-
tus among the tea-party
faithful than with mak-
ing health care affordable
and accessible.

COMMENTARY: BURTONABRAMS
U.S. Debt entering danger zone
With U.S. Treasury officials predicting that
the federal government will reach its $16.7
trillion borrowing limit around mid-Octo-
ber, Washington is girding for another battle
over taxes and spending between Congress
and the White House.
Regardless of the exact
details, recent history should
teach us that the biggest loser
likely will be the taxpayer.
After World War II,
Americas main concern
for many decades was the
so-called red menace:
Communism and the Soviet
Union. Now were discovering
that the real red menace is the
sea of red ink that Washington
has been piling up: the debt.
The problem is mainly political:
Washingtons practice of providing ben-
efits today, while postponing payment until
tomorrow.
To some degree we all know the story.
During the 70-year period, 1940 to 2010,
gross federal debt increased from $43 billion
(the equivalent of $670 billion in 2010 dol-
lars) to more than $13.5 trillion: a 24-fold
increase. Since then, it has increased at an
even-faster rate, hitting $16.2 trillion in
November 2012 and more than $16.5 tril-
lion today.
President Obama has spoken passionate-
ly about the oppressive debt that students
incur in pursing their college degrees. On
average, students graduating in 2013 were
saddled with about $35,000 in debt.
President Obama should be more con-
cerned about their share of the national debt,
which now stands at more than $145,000
per taxpayer.
The reason we all should be concerned
about the mounting debt is because theres
no end in sight. The recent reduction in the
budget deficit is no cause for celebration, as
it is only temporary.
As a result of many factors includ-
ing our aging population and the promises
a s s o c i a t e d
with Social
S e c u r i t y ,
Medicare and
Ob a ma c a r e
the gov-
e r n m e n t s
annual defi-
cits will con-
tinue far into
the future, pushing the debt ever higher,
unless major tax increases are enacted.
The United States is not alone in the accu-
mulation of debt. Many countries have accu-
mulated even higher levels of debt relative to
the size of their economies.
In fact, if we add up the net public debt of
all the nations of the world that is, gross
debt minus money that the governments
owe themselves, such as Social Security
trust fund obligations here in the U.S.
the average in 2009 came to 59.3 percent
of GDP. U.S. net public debt in 2009 was
slightly lower: 58.9 percent of GDP.
Japans public debt, by contrast, stood
at nearly 226 percent of GDP, Greeces at
144 percent, Italys at 118 percent, and the
United Kingdoms at 76.5 percent. Chinas
public debt, meanwhile, was just 17.5 per-
cent.
While the United States looks compara-
tively healthy in the snapshot above, the
truth is that only 35 of the 131 countries we
studied had debt levels higher as a percent-
age of GDP than the United States and
many of those countries (think Greece) have
suffered major economic meltdowns.
We all know where the United States
is heading. A 2011 poll of the members
of the National Association for Business
Economics listed
the federal budget
deficit as the No.
1 threat facing the
U.S. economy.
Theyre right.
High levels of pub-
lic debt slow eco-
nomic growth for a
number of reasons.
When the government borrows money,
it takes savings from the economy that
otherwise could have been channeled into
private-sector borrowing and investment.
Economists refer to this as crowding out
private investment.
Another cause for concern is the cost of
interest on the debt.
The U.S. Office of Management and
Budget has forecast that in the year 2017
interest payments on the public debt will
exceed the cost of Medicare.
The United States, in other words, is
entering dangerous territory.
While deficit spending may provide short-
term benefits, its time to consider the long-
term cost in slower economic growth.

The pontiffs appeal has not been solely sty-
listic. It has also been a matter of substance.
This is, after all, the pope who famously
asked, Who am I to judge? gay people.
And who criticized Catholics as narrowly
obsessed with abortion, same-sex marriage
and contraception. And who called his church
to be for the poor. And who said God loves
atheists, too.

Act against
Obamacare woes
Dear Sens. Pat Toomey,
Robert Casey, Reps. Bill
Cartwright and Lou Barletta,
Dont you think it is cruelly
ironic that the massive law
enacted to solve the problem
of the uninsured in America
is more likely to worsen it
while everybodys costs are
going up? Those who had
health insurance will be los-
ing it and at least thirty-one
million of todays uninsured
will remain uninsured. Even
if we forget about conscien-
tious objection to the bill
for its coverage of abortion
and things contrary to many
peoples religious beliefs, the
affordability factor makes
this bill a non-starter.
It will cost more than the
present situation for all and
have fewer people insured
even if the program is perfect-
ly implemented. But we know
that will not happen as cor-
porations already have begun
exercising loopholes. As you
are aware, the Congress and
congressional aides are not
part of the package, and there
are more exceptions coming
soon. Such exceptions make
the bill a bigger charade, and
it is making life worse for all
Americans, with the excep-
tion of those with special
exemptions, of course.
Corporations are cutting
their employee work week
to 29 hours. This helps
them avoid liability for
insuring these employees.
Additionally, other compa-
nies are firing employees to
get down to the magic num-
ber of 49 so they do not have
to pay the exorbitant cost of
employee health insurance.
Meanwhile, major corpora-
tions such as IBM are drop-
ping healthcare coverage for
their employees who happen
to be old enough to be on
Medicare.
In the confusion of
Obamacare, and the costs
that will be borne by com-
panies, they will cut wher-
ever they can. How then does
Obamacare help the people
who have earned their health-
care through hard work? How
could you support such a
plan?
There are other issues of
which you are aware I am
sure. For example insurers are
decreasing their network of
healthcare providers to save
costs. The Congressional
Budget Office estimates that
at least seven million people
who today enjoy employee-
sponsored health insurance
will lose their coverage.
They will have fewer
choices in deciding their
healthcare providers and the
costs will be unaffordable. I
am sure you also know that
over one third of doctors
will not accept new Medicaid
patients in states that choose
to expand the program under
the law. Like Senator Baucus
has said, this is a train wreck
and it is wrecking America
and destroying healthcare for
regular Americans such as
myself, my family, and all the
IBMers that I proudly worked
with in Scranton PA for so
many years.
Many of us do not trust
the government. Can you
blame us? Sen. Harry Reids
purpose is total nationaliza-
tion to enable government
to grow bigger. It is not for
Americans to have better
care.
My fear is that once you
and your cohorts destroy the
insurance industry; all the
cronies in government will
have a lot more jobs to con-
trol when government fills
the vacuum that will be left.
The government says that
median household income,
adjusted for inflation, halt-
ed its decline over the last
fifteen years at $51,017.
That is about 9 percent
down from $56,080 in 1999.
Theoretically during this
period, if you believe the
numbers, the economy has
grown by about 28 percent
since then. If true, the growth
was between 1999 and 2007.
Income is also down about
8.3 percent since 2007.
Most economists would say
at a minimum that there are
some weird things coming up
in the jobs numbers, when
looked at in a dispassion-
ate, clinical way. The report-
ing does not have to tell the
true picture. Its purpose is
to make the government look
good while government pol-
icy, including Obamacare is
actually the cause of the bad
statistics.
The official unemploy-
ment rate has been about 7.2
percent for several months
and so it would appear that
things are better and they
are being spun that way by
a generous press. But, they
are not, and you know it. The
rate does not include discour-
aged workers who took part-
time work or those who quit
looking altogether. The real
unemployment rate is known
officially as the U-6 number
and right now it is 14.3 per-
cent .
This U-6 rate, like the offi-
cial rate doubled between
2007 and 2009; but the U-6
rate is staying up high and not
coming down as quick as the
official rate. Unfortunately,
most news organizations are
not very truthful and they do
not track the real U-6 rate or
more people would be upset.
I cite these statistics
because Obamacare is one of
the major factors in the poor
economy, and the government
is now asking Americans to
take more from a shrinking
income to pay for something
that was not wanted in the
first place. If it is so good, sir,
why dont you fight to be on
it? Have any of your staffers
volunteered to give up their
Obamacare exemption?
I would like you to do five
things for me which will help
all your constituents:
1. Assure that all members
in both houses of Congress as
well as all their staffers have
the same Obamacare insur-
ance as all other Americans.
2. Assure that there are
no exceptions for unions or
union members.
3. Assure that there are no
exceptions for corporations.
4. Subscribe to the work
being done by Senators
Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.
Obamacare must be defunded
and the rest of the govern-
ment must be fully funded
.Of course a preferred action
would be the repeal of all
aspects of the Obamacare
law.
5. I would like legislation
passed immediately that
(1) requires corporations to
track all changes made to
their employees regarding
healthcare.
This would includes com-
panies such as IBM who have
undone a long-standing retir-
ee health plan and it would
includes those companies
who moved employees to 29
hours or who reduced their
number of employees to get
below 50.
When Obamacare is
defunded for good or it
is repealed, the changes
made by corporations or
other businesses ostensibly
because of Obamacare, or
even if not directly because
of Obamacare must be rolled
back. In other words, until
Obamacare is fully resolved,
companies that change health
plans may be liable for back
benefits and a plan reinstate-
ment/rollback.

Two guns, two dead, no change
In Missouri, two men
got into an argument over
a gambling debt. Later, the
winner was aunting the
gold watch that the loser
had used to pay him. So
the loser pulled a gun and
shot the winner dead.
In Kansas, two
men were arguing
over politics in a bar.
One got so upset,
he pulled a gun and
killed the other. A
couple of nights later,
that gunman was shot
dead by the victims
friends.
In New Mexico, a
law ofcer warned a
group of carousers in
a bar that they were
not supposed to be carry-
ing weapons. They pulled
out their guns and shot
him down.
And in Ionia, Mich., two
men got into a road-rage
incident, pulled off to a car
wash, got out and shot
each other to death.
These are all tragic
cases. People were killed.
The only real difference is
this: The rst three inci-
dents happened during
the Wild West of the late
1800s. And the fourth hap-
pened last week.
We settle our issues with
bullets in this country.
Weve been doing it since
we rode horses. And sadly,
there is no end in sight.
So today, we will once
again enter combustible
territory. We will talk
about guns. And before the
ugly arguments break out
(we are fully braced for the
nasty comments, cringing
curse words and wild accu-
sations that will appear in
the comments online), let
us at least recognize that
this is not a new
issue.
Not even close.
Whatever hap-
pened in Ionia, it
seems clear that
it was not worth
dying over. Two
men Robert
Taylor, 56, and
James Pullum, 43
got into some-
thing on the road
(Pullums wife
would tell 911 that
Taylor, in a PTCruiser, was
tailgating Pullums Taurus)
and when they pulled over,
the anger was boiling.
Moments later, both
were dead.
Road rage, Pullums
wife, Teri, cries during a
911 call. They were ght-
ing. They both shot each
other.
Ionia County Prosecutor
Ron Schafer told mlive.
com: There was some sort
of oral confrontation.
He said they shot each
other at fairly close range.
Every gun-violence head-
line emboldens some point
of view. The tragedy at
Sandy Hook Elementary
School saw many pro-gun
folks declare, You see? If
those teachers had been
armed, this could have
been avoided.
The Ionia case, converse-
ly, is like manna from heav-
en for the anti-gun crowd.
How many times do you
hear pro-gun voices claim,
People getting CCWs are
responsible gun owners?
Pullum and Taylor had
licenses to carry concealed
weapons.
People who get CCWs
respect guns because they
have to learn about them.
Again, both men had
CCWs and Taylor knew
plenty about guns, as the
prosecutor told mlive.com
that Taylor, apparently
a collector, might have
owned more than 100.
Regular folks arent the
ones you have to worry
about with guns its the
criminals.
So far, there is no indi-
cation Pullum or Taylor
had any serious criminal
past. Taylor did lose his
concealed weapons per-
mit after a drunken-driv-
ing misdemeanor. But in
2010, he was able to get it
back. And the prosecutor
described him as a polite,
law-abiding citizen.
So there are your basic
facts. The guns werent ille-
gally obtained, this wasnt
crossre from a drug war,
and the shooters werent
deranged lunatics walk-
ing through a defenseless
workplace.
Instead, this appears to
be about tempers aring
over an everyday occur-
rence trafc anger
but culminating in two
deaths because, when the
anger peaked, each man
had a gun within reach and
each used it to try to settle
matters.
Same as we did in the
Wild West.
The fact that the Ionia
shootings came the same
week as a disturbed man
named Aaron Alexis
allegedly shot up the
Washington Navy Yard,
killing 12 and wounding
eight all with a weapon
he legally obtained despite
a troubling past made
the anti-gun lobby even
angrier.
But if you expect it to
change things, it wont.
Pro-gun folks will some-
how explain away Ionia.
Someone will claim it
could have been worse
if they didnt shoot each
other. Someone will say
its the laws, not the guns.
Someone will scream stu-
pid liberals! and the whole
thing will degenerate into
name-calling.
The National Rie
Association will likely be
silent.
And we can only be
happy that people argu-
ing through newspapers
or televisions cant re
bullets at each other the
way Taylor and Pullum
did. Scripture might warn
that those who live by the
sword, die by the sword.
But weve been ignoring
that for centuries.
And my bet is, were not
stopping anytime soon.

His history betrays
Iranianmoderate
The search, now 30 years old, for
Iranian moderates goes on. Amid the
enthusiasm of the latest sighting, its
worth remembering that the highlight
of the Iran-contra arms-for-hostages
debacle was the secret trip to Tehran
taken by Robert McFarlane, President
Reagans former nation-
al security adviser. He
brought a key-shaped cake
symbolizing the new rela-
tions he was opening with
the moderates.
We know how that
ended.
Three decades later, the
mirage reappears in the
form of Hassan Rouhani.
Strange resume for a
moderate: 35 years of
unswervingly loyal service
to the Islamic Republic
as a close aide to Ayatollahs Khomeini
and Khamenei. Moreover, Rouhani was
one of only six presidential candidates,
another 678 having been disqualified
by the regime as ideologically unsound.
That puts him in the 99th centile for
fealty.
Rouhani is Khameneis agent but,
with a smile and style, hes now hailed
as the face of Iranian moderation. Why?
Because Rouhani wants better relations
with the West.
Well, what leader would not want relief
from Western
sanctions that
have sunk Irans
economy, deval-
ued its currency
and caused wide-
spread hard-
ship? The test
of moderation
is not what you
want but what
youre willing to
give. After all,
sanctions were not slapped on Iran for
amusement. It was to enforce multiple
Security Council resolutions demanding
a halt to uranium enrichment.
Yet in his lovey-dovey Washington
Post op-ed, his U.N. speech and vari-
ous interviews, Rouhani gives not an
inch on uranium enrichment. Indeed, he
has repeatedly denied that Iran is pursu-
ing nuclear weapons at all. Or ever has.
Such a transparent falsehood what
country swimming in oil would sacri-
fice its economy just to produce nuclear
electricity that advanced countries like
Germany are already abandoning? is
hardly the basis for a successful negotia-
tion.
But successful negotiation is not what
the mullahs are seeking. They want
sanctions relief. And more than any-
thing, they want to buy time.
It takes about 250 kilograms of 20
percent enriched uranium to make a
nuclear bomb. The International Atomic
Energy Agency reported in August that
Iran already has 186 kilograms. That
leaves the Iranians on the threshold of
going nuclear. They are adding 3,000
new high-speed centrifuges. They need
just a bit more talking, stalling, smiling
and stringing along a gullible West.
Rouhani is the man to do exactly
that. As Irans chief nuclear negotiator
between 2003 and 2005, he boasted in
a 2004 speech to the Supreme Cultural
Revolution Council, While we were
talking with the Europeans in Tehran,
we were installing equipment in parts
of the [uranium conversion] facility in
Isfahan. In fact, by creating a calm
environment, we were able to complete
the work in Isfahan.
Such is their contempt for us that they
dont even hide their strategy: Spin the
centrifuges while spinning the West.
And when the president of the worlds
sole superpower asks for a photo-
op handshake with the president of a
regime that, in President Obamas own
words, kills and kidnaps and terrorizes
Americans, the killer-kidnapper does
not even deign to accept the homage.
Rouhani rebuffed him.
Who can blame Rouhani? Offer a few
pleasant words in an op-ed hailing a new
era of non-zero-sum foreign relations,
and watch the media and the adminis-
tration immediately swoon with visions
of detente.
But at least we have to talk, say the
enthusiasts. As if we havent been talk-
ing. For a decade. Strung along in nego-
tiations of every manner the EU3,
the P5+1, then the final, very final,
last-chance 2012
n e g o t i a t i o n s
held in Istanbul,
Baghdad and
Moscow at which
the Iranians
refused to even
consider the
nuclear issue,
declaring the
dossier closed.
Plus two more
useless rounds
this year.
Im for negotiations. But only if its to
do something real, not to run out the
clock as Iran goes nuclear. The adminis-
tration says it wants actions not words.
Fine. Demand one simple proof of
good faith: Honor the U.N. resolutions.
Suspend uranium enrichment and we
will talk.
At least that stops the clock. Anything
else amounts to being played.
And about the Khamenei agent
who charms but declares enrichment
an inalienable right, who smiles but
refuses to shake the presidents hand.
When asked by NBC News whether the
Holocaust was a myth, Rouhani replied:
Im not a historian. Im a politician.
Iranian moderation in action.

it takes about 250 kilograms of 20
percent enriched uranium to make
a nuclear bomb. The international
Atomic Energy Agency reported in
August that iran already has 186
kilograms.
State universities and com-
munity colleges should offer free
tuition to all students who aca-
demically qualify for admission.
Our current, insufcient, inef-
cient patchwork
of college aid relies
increasingly on
loans that saddle
graduates with too
much debt and too
few options once
they enter the
workforce.
Tui t i on- f re e
and loan-free col-
lege education
would not only
give a vital boost
to aspiring students of modest
and middle means, but make sure
we dont cheat our society of its
next great leader because she or
he faced a purely economic bar to
college admission.
Recognizing a democracys
basic need for an educated
citizenry, our nation has tried
through most of its history to
make college more accessible and
affordable.
Weve enacted laws ranging
from the Northwest Ordinance
of 1787 and Morrill Act of 1862,
which helped create the relatively
low-cost state college system; to
the post-World War II GI Bill and
Higher Education Act of 1965,
which gave direct aid to students.
As a result, ours was the rst
society in human history with a
broad participation in higher edu-
cation.
That policy of widening college
access was abandoned begin-
ning in the 1970s. Spurred on
by faulty theories on how best to
aid low-income students and by
state governments budget crises
which were fueled in part by
proigate tax-cutting state col-
leges began to receive less pub-
lic funding and in turn demand
more from students and their
families in the formof tuition and
fees. Meanwhile, direct aid
such as Pell Grants began to
shrink and student debt to grow.
The results have been predict-
ably bad. Collective student debt
now tops $1 trillion, greater than
all credit card debt combined.
More and more promising stu-
dents are making the economic
calculation that college just isnt
worth the price.
Luckily, some far-seeing
reformers have set out to change
that troubling calculation. The
Oregon legislature recently cre-
ated a commission to consider
a plan Pay It Forward, Pay
It Back that would nance
tuition-free attendance at the
states four-year and community
colleges via a 3 percent surtax
on the income of graduates, a
system that already works well
in Australia and the United
Kingdom.
Robert Samuels, president of
the University Council-American
Federation of Teachers, proposed
in a recent academic journal that
all college education could be
made tuition-free and loan-free
simply by using more efciently
the public resources already dedi-
cated to higher education.
He calculated that it would
cost the government a hefty $130
billion a year to directly pay the
tuition of the approximately 6.5
million undergraduates in public
four-year colleges and 4.3 million
in community colleges. But thats
what Washington and the states
already spend on higher educa-
tion, if you add together the cost
of Pell Grants, loan guarantees
and state assistance.
Public college aid is currently
misallocated. Federal and state
tax credits and deductions for
individual students to attend
higher education cost public trea-
suries about $70 billion between
1999-2009.
While such tax incentives are
a boon to wealthier families who
can pay their own way, they do
little to assist lower-income and
middle-income households, who
must rely on loans and are sad-
dled with ever increasing student
debt.
States also lose money on
college-savings plans, which the
wealthy can use as tax shelters,
but which again do little to help
poorer students and their fami-
lies.
As Samuels points out, replac-
ing the current potpourri of insti-
tutional aid, tax subsidies, and
student grants and loans with
direct public payment of tuition
wouldinthe longrunsave money.
More important, free higher
education would restore our
nations vaunted but now mostly
absent social mobility, create a
more capable workforce, better
prepare Americans for the duties
of citizenship and make sure
that smart, ambitious young
Americans from any side of town
can fulll their dreams.

FREE TUITION: PRO
Shifing tuition may derail innovation
FREE TUITION: CON
Competitive Workforce found
that retention and completion
rates across Californias com-
munity colleges were above
the national average. But
completion rates were even
higher at two-year colleges in
Wisconsin and North Dakota,
where tuition is two to three
times as high and Pell Grant
recipients make up a larger
percentage of enrollments.
The point isnt that tuition
prices dont matter. But these
outcomes do suggest that
pushing tuition to zero may
not be a silver-bullet solution
to lackluster student success.
Third, many consumers
equate high tuition prices
with quality. So even if there
were a public option that
costs nothing, many afuent
families would likely still opt
to send their kids to private
colleges, leaving less advan-
taged students in the public
option. Increased sorting by
income could further exclude
lower income students from
the peer effects that are an
important part of educational
quality.
Finally, a public option
would crowd out innovations
that emerge from private col-
leges.
Western Governors
University in Salt Lake City,
Southern New Hampshire,
Excelsior College in Albany,
N.Y. and Capella University
in Minneapolis all private
areperfectingcompetency-
based models where students
get credit based on what they
know rather than how long
they sit in class.
And upstart online course
providers like StraighterLine,
Udacity and Coursera allow
students across the globe to
access lowor no-cost courses.
Apublic optionmight weaken
demand for those products
and dampen the pace of
change.
Solving the college cost cri-
sis will require fundamental
changes in cost structures,
not just tuition prices. To get
there, leaders need to foster
competitionacross all types of
providers, not create a public
monopoly.

Skyrocketing college tuition
threatens educational opportunity in
America!
While median household incomes
have shrunksince the economic crisis,
publishedtuitionat public colleges has
jumped 25 percent since 2008, largely
in response to state funding cuts.
Net prices what students pay
after grants and scholarships have
not risen as quickly thanks to a one-
time, unprecedented increase in Pell
Grant spending.
But with income and tuition mov-
ing in opposite directions, students
increasingly face a bleak choice: take
on crippling debt or forgo college
altogether. Some say the solution is
to create a public option for higher
education to reallocate existing
federal student aid dollars toward a
European-style system
of free public colleges.
In a recent book,
American Federation
of Teachers University
Council president
Robert Samuels
argues that we could
pay for a public option
by directing federal
student aid invest-
ments to public cam-
puses and requiring
those schools to focus
resources on instruc-
tion.
While its tempting to assume that
tuition-free public colleges would
solve our higher education problems
overnight, merely moving resources
around is no panacea for rising costs
and lowrates of student success.
First, a public option would change
who pays for higher education, but
not necessarily how much it costs to
provide it.
Economists argue that traditional
higher education is like other service
industries: becausetheproduct entails
interaction with highly educated labor
in small groups, it is difcult to raise
productivity.
As wages riseintherest of theecon-
omy, colleges must pay employees
moreeventhoughtheir output doesnt
increase, leading to higher costs.
Simply shifting who pays the bill
will do little to change this equation.
So while existing federal and state
investments might cover the cost of a
public option today, those same sums
wont go as far next year or the year
after unless colleges also make chang-
es to their cost structure. Taxpayers
would have to foot an increasingly
large bill.
Second, its not clear that a pub-
lic option would automatically raise
student success. Take Californias
community colleges, which have the
lowest published tuition in the nation
$1,135 in 2011-12 and are
essentially free to many students who
qualify for Pell Grants.
