NANTICOKE
Speaking before hundreds
of Greater Nanticoke Area
students in eighth through
12th grades, John Halligan
emotionally told the story
of his son, Ryan, who com-
mitted suicide in 2003 at the
age of 13.
He detailed the story of
physical and cyber-bullying
his son went through that
ultimately led to him taking
his own life.
I cant x everything with
a speech, said Halligan, a
nationally touring speaker.
But my hope is I can help
at least one of you.
Despite a few problems
with the sound system,
Halligans message seem-
ingly came through loud
and clear to the students.
Many asked questions after
the presentation and sev-
eral remained to have one-
on-one teary conversations
with him.
Halligan and his wife,
Kelly, have a website
ryansstory.org and
they personally respond to
emails to try to help wher-
ever they can.
This community, this
school, has lost a few kids in
recent years, Halligan said
after his presentation. A lot
of the students are having a
difcult time nding their
way through the experi-
ence of losing a friend. They
asked me for advice on how
to move on after the loss of
somebody.
Halligan will be in
Luzerne County for three
weeks speaking to students
in all its school districts and
to parents groups. The for-
mer IBM worker from New
York has dedicated his life
to trying to eradicate bully-
ing and to prevent suicide,
especially among young
people.
Personal story shared
Standing alone on stage,
Halligan relates Ryans story
as pictures of his son and
family ash on a screen
behind him. Halligan then
tells the story of his sons
tragic journey that began in
the fth grade and ended at
the start of eighth grade.
Halligan talks about the

UNITED NATIONS Key international
players were moving on two diplomatic fronts
Wednesday to try to put Syrias chemical weap-
ons under international control, and a fresh
effort appeared to be underway to get the gov-
ernment and opposition to peace talks.
The ve veto-wielding
members of the Security
Council, who have been deeply
divided over Syria, met late
Wednesday to discuss what
to include in a new resolution
requiring that Syrias chemical
weapons stockpile be secured
and dismantled. They later left
Russias U.N. mission without
commenting.
At the same time, U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov were heading to Geneva with teams of
experts for broader-ranging talks today about
the nuts and bolts of putting Syrias chemi-
cal weapons under international control and

REMEMBERING SEPT. 11, 2001
Our hearts still ache for the futures snatched away, the lives that might have been.
A major ood can wreak
havoc in a town in a matter
of hours, but West Pittston is
learning that getting a levee
built will take years if it
ever happens.
Borough residents have
been aching for a levee since
record Susquehanna River
ooding damaged more than
800 structures two years ago,
and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers may soon begin
the process required to make
it happen.
The rst step to obtain
a levee is an initial assess-
ment, which takes nine to
12 months, Army Corps
Baltimore District spokes-
woman Ashley W. Roberts
said Wednesday.
Borough ofcials formally
requested an assessment in
June, and the Army Corps
will include the $100,000 cost
of this study in its 2014 fed-
eral budget request, Roberts
said.
The assessment will look at
water patterns and past ood-
ing to help the Army Corps
decide whether a feasibility
study is warranted, Roberts
said.
It looks at the whole com-
munity and how ooding
impacts the community, she
said.
If the assessment convinces
the Army Corps to proceed,
a feasibility study would be
completed to identify the
appropriate ood control
system and project if the
potential cost of damages in
future oods would surpass
construction costs, which
is known as a benet cost
ratio, Roberts said.
A feasibility study takes
18 months to two years to
complete, and the federal
government equally splits the
cost with the sponsor, which
would be the borough, she
said.
If that study results in a
recommended levee, the fed-
eral government would cover
65 percent of the design and
construction, while the spon-
sor must come up with the
remaining 35 percent, she
said.
Will cost millions

Hearing echoes
of loved ones lost
NEW YORK Life in lower
Manhattan resembled any ordinary
day on Wednesday as workers rushed
to their jobs in the muggy heat, but
time stood still at the World Trade
Center site while families wept for
loved ones who perished in the terror
attacks 12 years ago.
For the families, the memories of
that day are still vivid, the pain still
acute. Some who read the names of
a beloved big brother or a cherished
daughter could hardly speak through
their tears.
Has it really been 12 years? Or 12
days? Sometimes it feels the same,
said Michael Fox, speaking aloud to
his brother, Jeffrey, who perished in
the south tower. Sometimes I reach
for the phone so I can call you, and we
can talk about our kids like we used to
do every day.
On the memorial plaza overlooking
two reecting pools in the imprint of
the twin towers, relatives recited the
names of the nearly 3,000 people who
died when hijacked jets crashed into
the towers, the Pentagon and in a eld
near Shanksville, Pa. They also recog-
nized the victims of the 1993 trade
center bombing.
Bells tolled to mark the planes hit-
ting the towers and the moments
when the skyscrapers fell.
In Washington, President Barack
Obama, rst lady Michelle Obama,
Vice President Joe Biden and wife
Jill Biden walked out to the White
Houses South Lawn for a moment of
silence at 8:46 a.m. the time the
rst plane struck the south tower in
New York. Another jetliner struck the
Pentagon at 9:37 a.m.
Our hearts still ache for the futures
snatched away, the lives that might
have been, Obama said.
A moment of silence was also held
at the U.S. Capitol.
In New York, loved ones milled
around the memorial site, making
rubbings of names, putting owers
by the names of victims and weeping,

W-BArea pact
has costs, savings
WILKES-BARRE The new Wilkes-Barre
Area School District teacher union contract
will cost about $2.2 million in raises over its
four-year lifespan, but substantial increases in
deductibles and co-pays in health insurance
coverage should save at least $1 million a year,
Business Manager Leonard Przywara said.
The contract, approved in principle by the
union last June and formally approved by the
school board Monday, still awaited nal signa-
tures by both parties Wednesday and was thus
not publicly available, but Przywara offered key
changes in health insurance coverage that he
said create the savings.
Przywara stressed that those savings are for
all employees covered by insurance, not only
teachers, and that three other contracts one

REV. DR. W. HAYDNAMBROSE
Sept. 6, 2013
Rev. Dr. W. Haydn Ambrose,
90, a longtime resident of
Kalamazoo, Mich., and former
vice president of Kalamazoo
College, died Friday, Sept. 6,
2013, in Kalamazoo.
He was born in Ammanford,
Wales, in 1922, and moved
to Lehman with his family as
a child. He graduated from
Lehman High School in 1940.
He received bachelors degrees
in history and theology from
Eastern College and Eastern
Baptist Seminary and was
ordained to the ministry in 1945.
He later studied at the Lancaster
Seminary, the University of
Illinois and Western Michigan
University, where he earned a
masters degree in educational
administration.
In 1963, he received an
honorary doctorate from the
American Baptist Seminary of
the West.
The Rev. Dr. Ambrose became
vice president for development
at Kalamazoo College in 1983,
where he oversaw fundraising,
alumni relations, public rela-
tions, publications and research
and launched a major capital
campaign.
He served the college since
1967 in numerous roles, includ-
ing assistant to the president for
church relations, dean of admis-
sions and nancial aid, and asso-
ciate director of development.
He retired in 1988.
Before joining Kalamazoo
College, he was the national
director of campus ministry for
the American Baptist Churches,
based in Valley Forge. He had
been the Baptist chaplain at the
University of Illinois and pastor
of the First Baptist Church in
Mankato, Minn.
In addition to numerous
church curriculum texts, he was
the author of The Church in the
University, published in 1969.
The work reects Ambroses
lifelong commitment to the role
of educational institutions in
helping individuals and groups
learn together in a context of
freedom and creativity.
It seems evident that the
church needs to begin by learn-
ing to accept the university as
it is, he wrote in that book.
The church must realize that
the truth uncovered by this free
community of learning is the

the suspect was still inside.
They saw a rear base-

WILKES-BARRE A
Luzerne County jury on
Wednesday found Juan Borbon
guilty of all four counts stem-
ming from a machete attack
outside the GAR High School
in February 2012.
Borbon, 21, was convicted of
two counts each of aggravated
assault and criminal conspira-
cy after a jury deliberated for
almost four hours Wednesday
afternoon.
Prosecutors say Borbon
wielded a several-inch-long
machete at GAR student
Marquis Allen, now 16, nearly
severing his left hand, in a ght
involving two groups outside
the school.
Im just so glad its nally
over, Allens mother, Darlene
Burt, said after hearing the ver-
dict.
Burt said her son recently
had some setbacks with his
physical therapy but has come
a long way since the attack.
When he saw the machete
(in the courtroom), he didnt
want to go back in, Burt said
of the three-day trial. It was
too much for him.
Deputy District Attorney
Alexis Falvello said the case
was difcult from the begin-
ning because a number of the
witnesses were young kids who
saw what Borbon did to Allen
and were afraid.
It was a long time coming,
fellow prosecutor Assistant
District Attorney Mamie
Phillips said. Were very
pleased there is justice for
Marquis.
Borbon testied Tuesday he
didnt participate in the ght
between those of Dominican
descent and African-Americans
outside the school, and that
he had been in Scranton that
morning applying for jobs
with his aunt. The defendant
is a native of the Dominican
Republican and had lived in
Paterson, N.J., before coming
to the Wyoming Valley.
Borbon maintained he
returned to Wilkes-Barre,
picked up sandwiches for him
and his girlfriend and then
returned to the Wilkes-Barre
house where he had been living
around 3:30 p.m.
The ght allegedly occurred
shortly after 2:30 p.m. when
school let out for the day.
Prosecutors say they were
able to identify Borbon as
the person who slashed Allen
because at the time he had his
hair dyed a red color and had
it pulled back in a ponytail
information corroborated by
Allen and other witnesses.
Investigators say Yansy
Abreu, 18, supplied Borbon
with the machete. Prosecutors
have said Abreu was charged
in juvenile court with unknown
related offenses and is current-
ly under supervision.
Were disappointed, obvi-
ously, Borbons attorney, Paul
Galante, said after the verdict.
But, we respect the jurys ver-
dict.
Galante said he tried to
present evidence to show
Borbon was not the attacker,
and that Borbons family was
condent he was going home
Wednesday.
During their deliberations,
jurors asked if they found
Borbon not guilty of two of the
charges, could they nd him
guilty of the remaining two.
Galante said that question
left him hopeful of a not-guilty
verdict, but you never know
what a jury is going to do.
County Judge Joseph
Sklarosky, Jr. said Borbon will
be sentenced on Oct. 21, when
he faces a maximum of 20
years in prison on one of the
aggravated assault charges.
Prosecutors said they will
be seeking a stiffer sentence
for Borbon because he used a
deadly weapon in the assault.
Prosecutors also asked that
Borbons bail be revoked, a
request that Sklarosky granted.
Borbon has been lodged at the
Luzerne County Correctional
Facility for being unable to
post $150,000 bail.

peeking in cars
WILKES-BARRE A man
who pleaded guilty to steal-
ing thousands of dollars from
his mother and then failed to
appear in court
for sentencing
was captured by
city police inves-
tigating a sus-
picious person
peeking into cars
on Kado Street

13 for a guilty plea hearing on
several cases, including:
Hanover Township police

Wyoming Area students contend college opportunities can be hurt when teachers walk
WEST PITTSTON A teacher
strikes impact can adversely affect
seniors by putting college acceptance
and funding at risk, two ofcers of
Wyoming Area Student Council said
Wednesday after joining the teacher
picket line on the seventh day of a
union strike.
We just want the strike to be
over, Student Council Vice President
Katherine Sokirka said as teach-
ers walked past with signs outside
Montgomery Avenue Elementary
School. Seniors want to be able to n-
ish their Advanced Placement courses
on time and get their letters of recom-
mendation for early acceptance in col-
lege.
The AP courses, designed to chal-
lenge students at a college level and
considered favorably in college appli-
cation screenings, have one immutable
test date, Sokirka said. If the strike
lasts the full month that it legally can,
students will be at a huge disadvan-
tage in trying to master the material
in time to score well, she said.
And the districts Secondary Center
is a hot spot for AP classes, Student
Council Secretary Emily Bellanco
added. She is taking four courses this
year, while Sokirka is taking three, and
some kids take six.
The most immediate impact is that
teachers cant write letters of recom-
mendation during the strike, Sokirka
said. And seniors have a better chance
of getting into their chosen college if
they apply for early acceptance. They
also have a better chance at getting
nancial aid.
The duo also noted the strike cur-
tails any participation in clubs and
most other extracurricular activities
another part of student portfolios
routinely scrutinized by college admis-
sions ofcers. Sokirka said she belongs
to, among others, the history club, and
that a month-long strike will hurt the
schools chances in the annual History
Bowl competition. If the strike lasts
long enough, the school might not be
compete at all.
Bellanco said it also hurts the stu-
dents who compete in the spring
Science Olympiad; shes been a par-
ticipant for years. Wed be putting
the team together right now, she
said. Usually were ready to go by
Christmas.
Sokirka plans to major in biology at
Bucknell University, while Bellanco is
heading to Wilkes Universitys phar-
macy program, and both said theres
one more thing the strike is stealing:
reunion with friends, including teach-
ers, showing up for support at sport
events, which are still being held.
Wyoming Area is like one big fam-
ily, Sokirka said.
Union President Melissa Dolman
said there have been no contract nego-
tiations, or even discussion of setting
up a session, since the strike began.
We are always ready to talk, she
added as the seniors joined the picket
march.

SCRANTON A
Luzerne man charged by
Luzerne County detec-
tives with nearly 2,000
counts of child pornogra-
phy in June was indicted
by a federal grand jury in
Scranton.
Michael Shaw, 38,
of Bennett Street, was
indicted on a single
count of of child pornog-
raphy involving the use
of a minor engaged in
sexually explicit conduct.
The indictment was
unsealed on Wednesday.
Shaw was initially
arrested on June 5 and
charged with five counts
of child pornography. At
his preliminary hearing
before District Judge
David Barilla on June
20, Luzerne County
Assistant District
Attorney Jenny Roberts
added 1,747 counts of
child pornography for
a total of 1,753 counts
against Shaw.
Roberts explained at
the time that 120 videos
and 1,633 pictures of
children engaged in sex
acts were allegedly dis-
covered on Shaws com-
puter between the time
of his arrest and the pre-
liminary hearing.
According to the crimi-
nal complaint filed in
June:
Authorities visited
Shaws residence based
on a tip that a computer
in his house was used in
a sexually explicit chat
with a young boy. From
there, authorities said
they learned about Shaw
kissing an 11-year-old
boy and finding a large
volume of images of
child pornography on his
computer and discs.
Shaw told authorities
he kissed the boys neck
up to five times a week.
Several pictures of the
unlawful contact were
found on his computer,
the complaint says.
When he was arrested
on June 5, Shaw told
authorities, I was acting
like a full-blooded pedo-
phile, according to the
complaint.
Shaw allegedly said
he emailed pictures of
him kissing the boy to
another man who is not
named in the complaint
in exchange for nude pic-
tures of boys.

PLYMOUTH Police
allege a highly intoxi-
cated Shawn Shoemaker
brandished a gun, caus-
ing customers at the
Sunoco service station on
East Main Street to flee
and take cover Tuesday
night.
The incident began
at about 8:40 p.m. as
Roberta Klecha and
her boyfriend, Geraldo
Langiois, argued outside
the station, according
to charges filed. Police
allege Shoemaker, 38, of
Elm Street in Plymouth,
left the Sunoco and said
something to Langiois,
who became hostile
and struck
Shoemaker in the
head.
S h o e m a k e r
allegedly pulled
a gun and aimed
it at Langiois.
Langiois ran and
was chased by
Shoemaker, who aimed
the gun at him, police
said.
Klecha told police she
tried to get Shoemaker
to calm down when he
aimed the gun at her,
according to charges
filed. Klecha is several
months pregnant and
complained she was hav-
ing problems with her
pregnancy due to the
incident, police said.
Customers inside the
Sunoco fled or took
cover behind the counter
and door that was locked,
police said.
The incident was
recorded on a surveil-
lance camera, police said.
S h o e m a k e r
told police he
was attacked by
Langiois and
defended him-
self with the gun
because he could
not fight.
He was
arraigned Wednesday
morning on three counts
of terroristic threats, two
counts each of simple
assault, reckless endan-
germent and disorderly
conduct and a single
count of public drunk-
enness. He was jailed
at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for
lack of $10,000 bail.
Shoemaker appeared
highly intoxicated and
registered an alcohol
level of .166 percent on
a breath test, police said.
A preliminary hearing
is scheduled on Sept.
18 before District Judge
Donald Whittaker in
Nanticoke.

TRIPOLI, Libya A car
bomb tore through a Libyan
Foreign Ministry building in
the eastern city of Benghazi
on Wednesday, a powerful
reminder of lawlessness in
the North African nation on
the anniversary of a deadly
attack on the U.S. consul-
ate there as well as the 2001
terror attacks in the United
States.
The bombing came exactly
one year after al-Qaida-linked
militants stormed the U.S.
mission in Benghazi and a
nearby U.S. building, kill-
ing U.S. Ambassador Chris
Stevens and three other
Americans.
Prime Minister Ali Zidan
issued a stern warning to
militias blamed for much of
the violence that has plagued
Libya since the overthrow of
dictator Moammar Gadha
two years ago, proclaiming
that we will not bow to any-
one.
But the challenges are
mounting. The prime minis-
ter said that armed men had
just stormed a post ofce in
the capital, Tripoli, taking
employees hostage. A wit-
ness at the scene, speaking
on condition of anonymity
because of security concerns,
told The Associated Press
that the attackers were seek-
ing to cut off mail to the
southern city of Sabha in
retaliation for a rival tribe
from Sabha cutting off the
water supply to Tripoli for a
week, forcing hospitals and
homes to rely on wells and
large tanks.
Other groups have shut
down oil elds to protest cor-
ruption or demand regional
autonomy, causing the coun-
try to lose out on millions
of dollars a day in potential
revenue.
The Benghazi blast caused
no deaths or serious injuries,
but destroyed the Foreign
Ministry branch building in
an attack rich in symbolism.
The building once housed the
U.S. Consulate under the rule
of King Idris, who was over-
thrown in 1969 in a bloodless
coup led by Gadha.
The bombing took place
about 6 a.m., well before any-
body was due to arrive at the
Foreign Ministry for work
and at a time when the near-
by streets were nearly empty.
The explosion blew out a
side wall of the building, leav-
ing desks, ling cabinets and
computers strewn across the
concrete rubble. It also dam-
aged the Benghazi branch of
the Libyan Central Bank.
Pictures circulated on
Facebook showed men car-
rying dead doves, with one
person commenting that the
dog who did this will be pun-
ished for the guilt of killing
doves. Another photo shows
black smoke smoldering
out of the charred Foreign
Ministry building, along with
wrecked cars and burned
palm trees. A green tarp was
later placed over part of the
building.
The blast also rocked
Benghazis main boulevard,
Gamal Abdel-Nasser, which
runs through the city from
north to south. Several pedes-
trians were slightly wounded.
BAGHDAD
Blasts at Shiite
mosque kill 35
A suicide attacker staged a double
bombing near a Shiite mosque in
northern Baghdad as worshippers
were leaving after evening prayers on
Wednesday, killing at least 35 in the
latest deadly episode of violence to
rock the country, according to Iraqi
authorities.
The blasts follow months of
heightened sectarian violence in
Iraq, intensifying fears the country is
slipping back toward the widespread
bloodshed in the years that followed

Oil in train
disaster mislabeled
The oil carried by a freight train
that derailed and exploded in Quebec
this year had been misclassied
as a less dangerous type of crude,
Canadian ofcials said Wednesday,
and they urged U.S. and Canadian
regulators to ensure dangerous goods
are accurately labeled.
Forty-seven people were killed in
the July disaster when the unattended
train rolled away and derailed in
the town of Lac-Megantic near the
Maine border and several of its oil
cars exploded. The downtown was
destroyed.
The trains shipment of North
Dakota oil was mislabeled as a Group
3 ammable liquid, when it should
have been given a more explosive
Group 2 classication, the Canadian
transportation safety boards chief
investigator, Donald Ross, said.
BOSTON
Low-T? Study
hints its low-E
TV ads tout testosterone treat-
ments for low T, but surprising new
research shows a different hormone
may play a role in less sex drive and
more fat as men age. Estrogen the
female hormone is needed by men,
too, and the study gives the rst clear
evidence that too little of it can cause
certain male menopause symptoms.
A lot of things we think are due
to testosterone deciency are actu-
ally related to the estrogen deciency
that accompanies it, said Dr. Joel
Finkelstein of Massachusetts General
Hospital.
Testosterone is the main male sex
hormone. Mens bodies convert some
of it into estrogen, and levels of both
decline with age.

A ring once owned by Adolf Hitler
fetched $65,725 at an auction in

Alexander Historical Auctions sold
the silver ring, which is plated in gold

We are very happy with the result,
Andreas Kornfeld, vice president of

NSAmachine:
Too big, too
complicated
WASHINGTON The sur-
veillance machine grew too big
for anyone to understand.
The National Security Agency
set it in motion in 2006 and
the vast network of supercom-
puters, switches and wiretaps
began gathering Americans
phone and Internet records by
the millions, looking for signs
of terrorism.
But every day, NSA analysts
snooped on more American
phone records than they were
allowed to. Some ofcials
searched databases of phone
records without even realizing
it. Others shared the results of
their searches with people who
werent authorized to see them.
It took nearly three years
before the government gured
out that so much had gone
wrong. It took even longer to
gure out why.
Newly declassied docu-
ments released Tuesday tell a
story of a surveillance apparatus
so unwieldy and complex that
nobody fully comprehended it,
even as the government pointed
it at the American people in the
name of protecting them.
There was no single person
who had a complete technical
understanding, government
lawyers explained to a federal
judge in 2009.
During a summer in which
former NSA systems analyst
Edward Snowden released
Americas surveillance secrets
to the world, the Obama admin-
istration has repeatedly tried to
reassure people that the NSAs
powers were kept in check by
Congress and the courts. The
mistakes discovered in 2009
have been xed, the president
said, a reection of that over-
sight.
But the documents from
the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court show that,
in developing the worlds most
sophisticated surveillance
network, even senior lawyers
and ofcials werent sure how
the system worked and didnt
understand what they were
told.
It appears there was never a
complete understanding among
the key personnel . regarding
what each individual meant by
the terminology, lawyers wrote
in March 2009 as the scope of
the problems came into focus.
As a result, the judges on the
surveillance court, who rely on
the NSA to explain the surveil-
lance program, approved a pro-
gram that was far more intru-
sive than they believed.
Given the executive branchs
responsibility for and expertise
in determining how best to pro-
tect our national security, and
in light of the scale of this bulk
collection program, the court
must rely heavily on the govern-
ment to monitor this program,
Judge Reggie B. Walton wrote
in a 2009 order that found the
NSA had repeatedly misrepre-
sented its programs.

NYC mayoral race becoming a referendum on the outgoing ofce holder
NEW YORK The race to succeed
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is shaping up
as a referendum on the 12-year legacy of
the billionaire who guided the nations
biggest city through the aftermath of
9/11 and the meltdown on Wall Street.
The top vote-getter in Tuesdays
Democratic primary, Public Advocate
Bill de Blasio, was the most vocally anti-
Bloomberg of the major candidates, rail-
ing against the mayors pro-police, pro-
development, pro-business, pro-trickle-
down politics.
On the Republican side, Joe Lhota,
a one-time deputy mayor to Rudolph
Giuliani, handily won his partys nomina-
tion after tying himself closely to many
of Bloombergs policies.
It is clear that the narrative going for-
ward is that this election is a verdict on
Bloomberg, said Jeanne Zaino, a New
York University political science profes-
sor.
Bloomberg, a Republican-turned-
independent who made his vast fortune
from the nancial news company that
bears his name, is leaving ofce after
three terms.
The Democrat most closely allied
with Bloomberg, City Council Speaker
Christine Quinn, was crushed at the bal-
lot box in Tuesdays mayoral primary,
nishing a distant third amid polling that
showed that New Yorkers were eager for
a change after more than a decade with
Bloomberg in charge.
But those same polls showed that
most New Yorkers still generally approve
of Bloombergs tenure.
If you were dropped into the
Democratic primary from space,
youd think that voters simply hated
Bloomberg, Zaino said. Its a more
complex picture than that.
Whether de Blasio will, in fact, be the
Democratic nominee in the November
election remains to be seen.
With 99 percent of precincts report-
ing, he had 40.3 percent of the vote, just
above the 40 percent needed to win the
nomination outright and avoid an Oct. 1
runoff against second-place nisher Bill
Thompson.
Election ofcials said that it will be at
least Monday before all votes, including
absentee ballots, are counted.
Neither de Blasio nor Thompson
addressed the election on Wednesday, as
both followed city tradition by abstain-
ing from campaigning on Sept. 11.
De Blasio ran as a Bloomberg antago-
nist, putting the ght to end economic
inequality at the heart of his campaign
and accusing the mayor of creating a
tale of two cities by favoring real estate
developers and Wall Street.
With far greater clarity than his
Democratic rivals, he positioned himself
as an opponent of the New York Police
Departments stop-and-frisk program of
aggressively questioning people deemed
suspicious.
The programs critics said it unfairly
targeted minorities, while its support-
ers including Bloomberg credited
it with helping to drive crime down to
historic lows.
When a federal judge ruled stop-and-
frisk was being conducted improperly,
Blasio got far more of a lift than Quinn
or Thompson.

Gay marriage stirs little uproar in N.M.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Lynn Ellins stunned New
Mexico last month when the
county clerk decided to begin
issuing marriage licenses to
same-sex couples. But even
he was shocked by the lack of
public outrage or protest to
his decision, which set off a
chain reaction that has for all
practical purposes made gay
marriage legal in the state.
The only crowds that gath-
ered outside his Dona Ana
County ofce were gay cou-
ples wanting to marry. The
states top politicians stayed
neutral. New Mexicos three
Catholic bishops said it was
a matter for lawmakers. And
an evangelical mega-church
in the states largest city was
mum.
I have gotten some fairly
nasty religious-related tele-
phone messages, Ellins
said. But generally speak-
ing, I am surprised by the
relatively muted response
from those who clearly dis-
agree.
Experts and gay rights
advocates say the relative
lack of an uproar is a sign of
how quickly public opinion
has turned on the issue.
If this had happened ve
years ago, there would have
been a public outcry, said
Andrew Cherlin, an expert
on sociology of families
and public policy at Johns
Hopkins University. If it
had happened two to three
years ago, there would have
been public concern Its as
if the dam broke quickly.

WEST PITTSTON
The owners of an Exeter
smoke shop were arraigned
Wednesday on charges
they sold synthetic mari-
juana, racking up as much
as $5,000 in sales a day,
according to arrest papers.
The state Ofce of
Attorney Generals Bureau
of Narcotics Investigation
allege Sharleen Palaima,
62, and her husband,
Alfonse Richard Palaima,
64, of Division Street,
Pittston, sold synthetic
marijuana from their busi-
ness, Magikal Garden, on
Wyoming Avenue from
March 2012 through the
end of July 2012.
Magikal Garden was
one of many retail smoke
stores and gasoline service
stations across the state
raided on July 26, 2012,
in Operation Articial
High, an investigation by
the Attorney Generals
Ofce, state police and the
U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration.
The searches resulted in
the seizure of more than
300,000 doses of synthetic
marijuana and illegal bath
salts, with an estimated
street value of $1.25 mil-
lion, and more than 50,000
pieces of drug parapherna-
lia related to the smoking
or consumption of synthet-
ic drugs, according to the
Attorney Generals Ofce.
A Magikal Garden
employee allegedly told
authorities that on a good
day the store sold up to
$5,000 worth of synthetic
marijuana, according to
arrest papers.
Agents seized the
Palaimas bank account
records, learning checks
were drafted to Liberty
Herbal, Liberty Enterprises
and AK Distributing to
purchase the supply of
synthetic marijuana sold
at Magikal Garden, arrest
papers state.
Sharleen Palaima is
listed as the president
of Magikal Garden. She
was charged with corrupt
organizations, possession
with intent to deliver a
controlled substance and
three counts of criminal
conspiracy.
Alfonse Palaima was
charged with two counts
each of possession with
intent to deliver a con-
trolled substance and crim-
inal conspiracy and a single
count of corrupt organiza-
tions.
They were arraigned
by District Judge Joseph
Carmody in West Pittston
and both released on
$25,000 unsecured bail.
Preliminary hearings are
scheduled on Oct. 2.
Attorney Peter Moses,
who is representing the
Palaimas, said the couple
has owned and operated
their business for more
than 30 years and are
excellent law-abiding citi-
zens. They maintain their
innocence and I can guar-
antee they will ght this to
the end.
The commonwealth ini-
tially charged the corpora-
tion with a crime, Moses
said. When we decided
we would ght this, the
commonwealth decided to
charge them individually,
he said. But no matter
what the commonwealth
does, theres no way theyre
going to deter us from
exercising our constitu-
tional rights.
He said there will be a
lot of legal and scientic
arguments in this case, and
we believe the science and
the lawwill be on our side.

School set to be Nuangola sewers frst client
TOMHUNTINGTON
Times Leader Correspondent
NUANGOLA
According to comments
at Mondays sewer author-
ity meeting, the Rice
Elementary School in Rice
Township could become
the rst client of the
Nuangola sewer system to
go on line.
RichKresge of the Quad3
Group said the school is
hooked up and it is just a
matter of getting approval
from the ofcials involved
to begin having waste ow
into the treatment facilities
of the Mountain Top Area
Joint Sewer Authority.
Kresge, project engineer,
said that overall Phase 1 of
the Nuangola project has
met its Sept. 15-comple-
tion goal. Besides the
school, Nuangola residents
can also begin the connec-
tion process, which con-
sists of installing a 3-inch
PVC line and connecting
an electrical service line
from a residence to a grind-
er pump.
Kresge said installa-
tion and testing at Rice
Elementary have been suc-
cessful, so the school is
ready to be the rst unit
in the boroughs $9 million
project to become opera-
tional. Overall, Kresge
said, 231 grinder pumps
have been tested success-
fully.
The sanitary system was
also a topic of discussion at
Tuesdays council meeting.
Chairman John Kochan
said procedures will be
formulated to create the
fewest hardships in closing
on-site systems.
The systems have to be
closed, he said. Septic
tanks can be crushed, lled
with dirt or sand or what-
ever. We just dont want
it to be a major hardship.
Kochan said council will
conduct further discus-
sions on deactivating on-
site systems.
The issue of a connec-
tion being a nancial bur-
den also came before coun-
cil and Councilman Joe
Tucker responded council
has a guarantee from the
sewer authority that hard-
ship cases will be reviewed
on an individual basis
before any legal action is
instituted.
In other matters that
came before council and
the authority:
Councilwoman Regina
Plodwick alleged the
Sunshine Law was violated
when council met in execu-
tive session to discuss
extending relief on residen-
tial fees associated with
borough-mandated septic
system pumping.
Councilman Ron
Kaiser called for additional
stop signs and 25 mph
signs on Nuangola Avenue,
but he was told impos-
ing additional regulations
are the responsibility of
PennDOT.
Tucker reported bor-
ough streets are in bad
condition because of the
sewer system installation
and he called for a meet-
ing involving council, the
sewer authority and the
contractors to develop a
plan to rectify the situa-
tion.
It was announced the
budget and nance com-
mittee will present a pre-
liminary 2014 budget at
the Oct. 8 meeting.
Council stated letters
of interest are still being
accepted from individuals
willing to ll the seat of
Dan Pekar, who resigned in
July, on the sewer author-
ity.
Kochan said a review
of recent decisions by the
zoning hearing board will
be initiated by council fol-
lowing complaints that
some decisions have been
termed unfair and unrea-
sonable. Included in com-
ment about the board, was
a complaint registered
by Councilman Michael
Johnson about stipulations
set down by zoning board
members for a project he
is undertaking at his resi-
dence.
LAKE CAREY Two
Wyoming County town-
ships continue their ght
for compliance with state
sewage treatment stan-
dards after their action
plan was denied last month
by the state Department of
Environmental Protection.
After receiving a rst
letter on July 16 outlin-
ing the plans deciencies,
Lemon and Tunkhannock
township ofcials met
with state agency ofcials
Aug. 13 to review a sew-
age-abatement plan for the
community surrounding
Lake Carey.
DEP issued a formal
denial letter Aug. 28
informing both townships
their plan remains de-
cient.
Of highest importance
to DEP: The plan depend-
ed on too many conditions,
such as available outside
funding.
Public notice, notably
of how customers will pay
for sewage services, did
not meet state standards,
according to the letter.
DEP also took exception
to the needs study per-
formed by township of-
cials to identify problem
areas, stating the reports
are inconclusive.
These were the same
aws noted in DEPs rst
letter.
According to the Sewage
Facilities Act, commonly
known as Act 537, all
municipalities must have
some form of sewage treat-
ment system in place,
either on-lot private sys-
tems or a communal treat-
ment program.
As a formality, Lemon
Township Board of
Supervisors voted last
week to appeal DEPs deni-
al, said board Chairman
John Keefe.
But engineers on the job,
Harleth Davis of Harleth
W. Davis Consulting and
Ned Slocum of Milnes
Construction, are moving
forward to allay DEP con-
cerns, Slocum said. The
six total deciencies can
be resolved without much
additional effort, and
they are moving forward
to complete the plan in a
timely manner, he said.
The townships had iden-
tied a central sewage
system as the most cost-
effective solution, choos-
ing pipes that run around
the lake. But the plan must
equally consider other via-
ble solutions, Keefe said.
The plan was budgeted
to cost about $130,000 to
nish. However, the town-
ships assert that together
they have shelled out more
than $360,000, and some
of the residents are frus-
trated with the delay.
The townships plan
includes a separate sew-
age plan for the Hilltop
Drive and Maple Lane
neighborhood, which is in
Tunkhannock Township.
This leg of the project
has not received as much
scrutiny, as it taps into
the existing Tunkhannock
Borough system. The Lake
Carey pipes would run as
part of its own system and
be moved to a treatment
center near Tunkhannock
Creek and Shadowbrook
Inn & Resort.
DEP spokeswoman
Colleen Connolly said
there is no one trick to
completing the complex
sewage plan, but as long as
the townships show good
faith to carry on, the agen-
cy will offer support.
Were not looking to
hurt any municipality.
Unfortunately the law is
what it is, Connolly said.

Judge vows quick
decision in
5-year-old,
hit-and-run case
WILKES-BARRE A
Luzerne County senior
judge said Wednesday he
would decide within 24
hours whether defense
attorneys in the 2008 case
of a deadly hit-and-run inci-
dent will be able to use a
mental inrmity defense.
Senior Judge Charles
Brown, at a hearing
Wednesday morning, said
he would make the ruling
soon so that the case can
go forward. A trial is sched-
uled to begin for Megan
Panowicz, of Forty Fort, on
Sept. 23.
Panowicz, 28, is charged
in the August 2008 death
of Sharon Shaughnessy,
who was killed on Wyoming
Avenue in Kingston when
she was reportedly struck
by three vehicles.
Recently, Panowiczs
attorneys her father,
Robert Panowicz, and
Basil Russin led court
papers notifying Brown they
intend to use a mental inr-
mity defense in the case.
Panowicz has a longstand-
ing disorder, a post-trau-
matic stress disorder, that
causes her to avoid stressful
situations by attempting to
over self control, they say.
The events which caused
her to have post-traumatic
stress rendered her incapa-
ble of appreciating the sig-
nicance or consequences
of her behavior and affected
her ability to determine
what was right or wrong at
that crucial moment, the
attorneys wrote.
Deputy Attorney General
Clarke Madden, who is pros-
ecuting the case, said the l-
ing should have been done
earlier and is not relevant
at this juncture. Madden
also has asked that prosecu-
tors be permitted to have an
expert examine Panowicz, a
request that is on hold until
Brown makes a ruling.

This announcement is being so widely
advertised because a U.S. Federal law makes
TV broadcasters transmit their signals in dig-
ital format, which allows everyone to receive
these over-the-air digital signals for free with
no monthly bills.
Heres how it works. Clear-Cast, the sleek
micro antenna device with advanced technol-
ogy links up directly to pull in the Free TV sig-
nals being broadcast in your area with crystal
clear digital picture and no monthly bills.
Clear-Cast was invented by a renowned
NASA Space Technology Hall of Fame scien-
tist who currently holds 23 U.S. Govt issued
patents. For the past 20 years, he has special-
ized in developing antenna systems for NASA,
Motorola, XM Satellite Radio and companies
around the world.
His latest patent-pending invention, Clear-
Cast, is a sleek micro antenna device engi-
neered to pull in the Free TV signals through
advanced technology with no cable, satellite or
internet connection and no monthly bills.
Clear-Cast is being released to the gen-
eral public because we just dont think people
should keep paying for TV when they can get it
for free, said Conrad Miller, Manager of Oper-
ations at CompTek.
Theres never a monthly bill to pay and all
the channels you get with Clear-Cast are abso-
lutely free. So you see, Clear-Cast is not like
cable or satellite. It was engineered to access
solely the over-the-air signals that include all
the top rated national and regional networks,
like ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, CW and about
90% of the most watched TV shows like Amer-
icas Got Talent, NCIS, 60 Minutes, American
Idol, The Big Bang Theory, The Bachelorette,
Person of Interest, CSI, The Mentalist, Two
and a Half Men, Sunday Night Football plus
news, weather and more all for free with no
monthly bills, Miller said.
Thats why Clear-Cast is such a great alter-
native for everyone who is sick and tired of
paying expensive cable and satellite bills every
month, he said.
People who get Clear-Cast will say it feels
like getting an extra paycheck every month.
You see, with Clear-Cast youll receive free
over-the-air broadcast channels with crystal
clear digital picture, not the cable or satellite
only channels. So being able to eliminate those
channels puts all the money you were spending
back in your pocket every month, Miller said.
And heres the best part. The sleek micro
antenna device called Clear-Cast is so tech-
nically advanced it pulls in even more of the
channels being broadcast in your area for Free
with no monthly bills.
That way you can channel surf through the
favorite TV shows. The number of shows and
channels youll get depends on where you live.
People living in large metropolitan areas may
get up to 53 static-free channels, while peo-
ple in outlying areas will get less. That means
even if youre in a rural area that just pulls in
NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts
theres hundreds of shows each year to watch
for free.
Consumers report that the crystal clear pic-
ture quality with Clear-Cast is the best theyve
ever seen. Thats because you get virtually all
pure uncompressed signals direct from the
broadcasters for free.
Clear-Cast was engineered to link up
directly like a huge outdoor directional
antenna but in a lightweight, slim-line pack-
age. Its sturdy copper alloy and polymer con-
struction will most likely far outlast your TV.
It just couldnt be any easier to get Free
over-the-air digital TV shows with Clear-Cast.
Simply plug it into your TV, place Clear-Cast
on a window pane and run autoscan. It works
on virtually any model TV and is easily hid-
den out of sight behind a curtain or window
treatment.
Thousands of Wilkes-Barre area residents
are expected to call to get Clear-Cast because
it just doesnt make any sense to keep paying
for TV when you can get hundreds of shows
absolutely free.
So, Wilkes-Barre area residents lucky
enough to find their zip code listed in todays
publication need to immediately call the Free
TV Hotline before the 48-hour deadline to get
Clear-Cast that pulls in Free TV with crystal
clear digital picture. If lines are busy keep try-
ing, all calls will be answered.
How It Works: Just plug it in to your TV and pull in Free TV channels in crystal clear
digital picture with no cable, satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills
NEVER PAY A BILL AGAIN: Pennsylvanians will be on the lookout for their postal carrier because thousands of Clear-Casts will soon be deliv-
ered to lucky Wilkes-Barre area residents who beat the 48-hour order deadline and live in any of the zip code areas listed above. Everyone is getting
Clear-Cast because it pulls in nothing but Free TV channels with no cable, satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills.
How to get Free TV: Listed below are the Wilkes-Barre area zip codes that can get Free TV channels with no
monthly bills. If you live in one of these areas immediately call 1-888-874-3480 beginning at precisely 8:30am this morn-
ing. Todays announcement photo above shows just a handful of the major over-the-air broadcast networks you can receive
with Clear-Cast for free. It saves a ton of money by not picking up expensive cable only channels like ESPN so theres never
a monthly bill. This is all possible because a U.S. Federal Law makes TV broadcasters transmit their signals in digital for-
mat, which allows everyone to use Clear-Cast to pull in Free TV channels with no monthly bills. CompTek is giving every
U.S. household a 50% off discount to help cover the cost of Clear-Cast. Clear-Cast, the sleek micro antenna device is a one-
time purchase that plugs in to your TV to pull in Free TV channels in crystal clear digital picture with no monthly bills.
Each Clear-Cast normally costs $98, but U.S. households who beat the 48-hour deadline are authorized to get a 50% off
discount for each Clear-Cast and cover just
$
49 and shipping as long as they call the Free TV Hotline at 1-888-874-3480
before the deadline ends or online at www.clear-cast.com. Trademarks and programs are the property of their respective
owners and are not affiliated with or endorsing Clear-Cast.
Public gets Free TV with no monthly bills
Federal law makes TV network giants broadcast Free TV signals regionally in crystal clear digital picture in
all 50 states allowing U.S. households to pull in Free TV with a sleek $49 micro antenna device engineered to pull

destroying them, diplomats
said.
The U.N.-Arab League
envoy for Syria, Lakhdar
Brahimi, was also heading
to Geneva to be available
to meet Kerry and Lavrov,
whose efforts to start peace
talks to end the 2 1/2-year
Syrian conict have been
stymied by a government
offensive and a deadly sus-
pected poison gas attack on
Aug. 21.
The diplomatic urry
follows the threat of U.S.
strikes against President
Bashar Assads regime and
a surprise offer from Kerry
that Syria could avert U.S.
military action by turning
over every single bit of
his chemical weapons to
international control within
a week. Russia, Syrias most
important ally, and Assads
government quickly agreed
on the broad proposal,
but details still need to be
worked out.
A senior U.N. diplomat,
speaking on condition of
anonymity because con-
tacts have been private,
said todays meeting
between Kerry and Lavrov
will be an exploratory ses-
sion to gauge whether they
can embark on the hercu-
lean task of dismantling
Syrias chemical weapons
while the country is at war.
While serious differences
have already emerged
especially on whether a
U.N. resolution should be
militarily enforceable as
the U.S. and its Western
allies are demanding the
diplomatic moves repre-
sent the rst major effort in
more than a year to try to
get supporters of the Syrian
government and opposition
on the same page.
Russia and China have
vetoed three Western-
backed resolutions aimed
at pressuring Assad to end
the conict, which has left
the U.N.s most powerful
body paralyzed as the war
escalates and the death toll
surpasses 100,000. U.N.
Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon earlier this week
called the councils paraly-
sis embarrassing.
What the secretary-
general has been pressing
for is the Security Council
to come to a united deci-
sion, U.N. associate
spokesman Farhan Haq
said Wednesday. Its cru-
cially important at this
late stage of the war that
they come together and
take some action that can
prevent both the problems
regarding the use of chemi-
cal weapons and the wider
problem of solving this con-
ict.
The White House said
Wednesday it is not putting
a timeline on a diplomatic
resolution to the crisis in
Syria.

autism, his awkwardness,
his failure in athletics and
his struggle to t in with
the cool kids. The hour-
long presentation takes
viewers through the fam-
ilys attempts to resolve the
conicts in Ryans life, the
guilt that followed his death
and the forgiveness of
those who directly impact-
ed Ryan and inuenced his
decision to end his life.
Beginning with the fran-
tic phone call Halligan
received from his wife
informing him that Ryan
committed suicide to
struggling to answer the
question, Why? Halligan
painted a clear picture of
his son. There was the dif-
culty in accepting what
had happened and the self-
blame for not being able to
do whatever it would have
taken to prevent it.
Among their consider-
ations: self-defense lessons,
possible home-schooling,
counseling, confrontation
and computer safeguards.
Halligan said one his
sons supposed friends
proved to be untrue she
led Ryan to believe she
cared about him as a friend,
when in reality she was talk-
ing behind his back. When
she called Ryan a loser in
front of her friends, Ryan
was distraught, Halligan
said.
Internet rumor
That and an untrue
rumor Ryan was gay that
spread like wildre in
school, and on the Internet,
eventually pushed Ryan to
his unfortunate end.
There is no greater pain
than that of a parent who
has lost a child, Halligan
said. All of you are loved
beyond belief. Dont ever
believe for a second that
you dont matter.
Halligan said there are
no perfect families; that
there are people in every-
bodys life who truly care.
Ryans death was the
result of a disease called
depression, Halligan said.
After Ryans death, the
boy who was the main bully
was still spreading untruths
about his son, Halligan
said. He went to the boys
home and sat with him and
his parents. I looked at him
and told him he had no idea
the amount of pain he had
brought into my sons life,
Halligan said. I told him
there is no do-over here;
my son is gone forever.
Halligan said he hasnt
spoken to the bully since
that day and he just wants
to tell Ryans story to as
many people as he can with
the hope that some will lis-
ten and change their ways
or their intentions.
Dont be a bystander,
he said. Be an up-stander.
This is not about throwing
punches; its about throw-
ing words. Be a friend.
Halligan said he and
his wife still struggle with
Ryans death, as do their
two other children: Megan,
now 27, and Conor, who is
in the 11th grade.
Halligan, who has spoken
at hundreds of high schools
across the U.S., said telling
Ryans story takes its toll
on him. By the end of the
school year, Im physically
and emotionally exhaust-
ed, he said. Sometimes I
wonder how much longer I
can do this.
For now, his mission to
prevent further family and
community tragedies con-
tinues. These are all good
kids, he said. They just
need to have the courage to
talk to somebody.

ADAM BENJAMIN SLAMAS
Sept. 7, 2013
Adam B. Slamas, 28, a resi-
dent of Fort Myers, Fla., died
tragically Saturday from injuries
sustained in an automobile acci-
dent in Luzerne County.
Born in Scranton, he was a
son of Barbra Williams Slamas,
Naples, Fla.
Adam was baptized at the
Church of St. Gregory and,
along with his brother, Nathan,
was raised by their mother
in Waverly as The Power of
Three. In this pastoral environ-
ment, Adam had room to roam,
thus beginning his lifelong love
of the outdoors, nature and stay-
ing active.
Soon, his talent for athletics
became apparent. Much like
many young men, Adam par-
ticipated in multiple sports. One
became his clear favorite: golf.
Countless hours were spent
honing his skillset on the shores
of the Scranton Canoe Club at
Lake Winola. He split his time
playing with both his grand-
parents and many encouraging
members, quickly learning that
everything breaks to the lake!
Growing stronger every year,
Adam became the Junior Club
Champion in 1999 and 2000.
His good nature and strong golf
game were soon recognized
and Adam was recruited by
Wyoming Seminary in Kingston,
graduating in 2003. The Power
of Three were headed south to
South Kingston.
Out of the woods and now in
an urban locale, Adam began to
ourish in this new social arena.
He attended school and played
four different sports, but when
Adam had free time his spirit
took control.
Effortlessly, Adam started
forging life-long friendships.
Fast. An army of Kingston
Kidds were at his beck and call.
A really hip and cool 15-year-
old father gure to so many,
Adam went farther south,
enrolling at Coastal Carolina
University in Conway, S.C.
Equipped with condence and
street smarts, Adam took on
college with vigor and enthusi-
asm. He worked hard and played
even harder, while continuing to
make many friends and live his
life to the fullest.
Balancing school and a full-
time job, he was becoming a
responsible and considerate
adult. Earning a degree in busi-
ness administration in 2008,
Adam turned his attention
with passion towards a career
in golf. Already a seasoned
employee, Adam became a pro-
fessional and continued spend-
ing his springs and summers at
Wyoming Valley Country Club
in Hanover Township.
Adams impact on the local
golf community was ineffable.
He treated everyone with
respect and dignity, working at
the club for eight years while
never missing a day of work.
He never took one sick day. Not
once. A true professional.
In 2011, Adam began to
establish roots in southwest
Florida during the fall and
winter seasons. One year later,
after he had done his fair share
of shing the previous winter,
he began a full-time position at
Heritage Palms Country Club in
Fort Myers.
Adam thrived in his new envi-
ronment and immediately made
a positive impact there as well.
Just like Mr. Hogan, he was now
truly following the sun!
It was at this time he met
the love of his life, Ms. Daniela
Turner. They were perfect
together instantly.
Adam did not just go north
to south and vice versa; he was
built to travel. Adam and his
brother, Nathan, backpacked
across Europe one summer. The
next, he was on a cross-country
trip to California and back again.
He loved meeting new people
and taking in the local color of
an unfamiliar and new place.
Music. Adam and his music.
He loved hardcore punk rock. He
loved live and loud music. When
the stage lit up and the show
started, Adam was smiling. He
spent a signicant amount of
time behind the scenes, trav-
eling with many bands. He sold
merchandise and helped carry
heavy equipment. He also took
care of travel arrangements and
logistics and was the driver of
the van on many trips all over
North America.
Words cannot express how
much he will be missed. Adam
and his legacy will live on inside
us all. His life was well-lived.
Adam made bad times good,
made good times better, was
loved and he gone.
He was preceded in death
by his maternal grandfather,
Thomas Williams Sr.
In addition to his mother,
he is survived by his brother,
Nathan Slamas, South Carolina;
his maternal grandmother, Sally
Williams, Naples, Fla.; his uncle,
Thomas Williams Jr., Jackson,
Wyo.; and godmother, Mary
Alice Burke, Scranton.
The funeral will be today
with a Mass of Christian Burial
at 10 a.m. at Church of St.
Gregory, 330 N. Abington Road,
Clarks Green, concelebrated by
the Rev. John Lapera. Interment
will be at the convenience of the
family.
In lieu of owers, memorial
contributions may be made to
the Anthracite Golf Association,
Adam Slamas Memorial Jr.
Scholarship Fund, 617 Keystone
Ave., Peckville, PA 18452.
Arrangements have been
entrusted to the Donahue
Funeral Home, 303 S. Main
Ave., Scranton.
Jeanne C. Basta, 87, of
Wilkes-Barre, passed away on
Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013, at

Edythe Ann Krueger, 75,
of Laurel Run, passed away
Tuesday morning, Sept. 10,
2013, at her home, with her fam-
ily by her side, after a valiant
four-year courageous battle with
cancer.
Born in Neptune, N.J., she
was a daughter of the late
Richard and Emily (Feurhelm)
Poppele.
Edythe was a graduate of
Irvington High School, New
Jersey, and was a homemaker all
of her life.
Edythe was totally devoted
to her family, especially her hus-
band and best friend, Fred, with
whom she traveled extensively.
She took great pride in all her
childrens and grandchildrens
accomplishments and sur-
rounded herself in pictures and
mementos of the people and
places that were most impor-
tant.
She loved to cook, craft and
sew. All family babies were
blessed with a special hand-
made blanket or stuffed animal
made with love. Her grandchil-
dren have been blessed to have
many special memories from
Grandma.
Visitors to her home were
always treated to delicious
meals. Edythe spent many
hours perfecting recipes, but
was most famous for her brown-
ies. She was affectionately
dubbed The Brownie Queen.
She never failed to make them
for family parties, to send them
off to college with her grandchil-
dren or to take them to doctors
appointments as gratitude for
the wonderful care she received.
Edythes courage through-
out her illness was her familys
strength. She was always a role
model; her quiet, loving devo-
tion to her husband, children
and grandchildren have been an
inspiration to the family.
Surviving are her husband
of 53 years, Fred; daughter,
Gretchen Himlin, Kingston;
son, Garett Krueger, and his

Most mark the day itself, the date and
hour the hijacked airplanes struck, con-
suming thousands of lives and reshaping
both global and personal notions of safe-
ty with a denitive act of random death
by irrational violence.
Few mark the day after, the limbo of
rawemotion mixing with nascent under-
standing, when the images were harshly
seared into the brain but comprehension
and coping remained profoundly elusive.
Here are quotes from area natives and
residents on Sept. 12, 2001.

Sam Angelo, Plains Township

native,who worked on the 72nd oor of
the second tower:
The building is supposed to move
but you dont feel it, Angelo, a bridge
engineer, said of the the skyscrapers
subtle daily sway in the wind, compar-
ing that to the jets impact. It felt like it
was going to fall down.
They looked toward the windows,
saw debris raining down and headed for
the stairs, taking turns helping carry a
woman who had trouble walking. The
stairway began to ll with smoke; at the
44th oor, an open lobby allowed them
to switch stairways and to look out-
side to see that debris was aming.
These people went to work and
were going about their business. To
attack people without any afliation ,
Angelo said, pausing in thought. I dont
know.

Millie Warrent, Tobyhanna, who

worked on the 14th oor of the rst
tower:
All I could think about was staying
alive. Seeing my kids and my grandson.
I just had this feeling that if I stayed I
would die.
After getting out and running for safe-
ty, she turned to see a moment of hell.
I looked back and actually sawpeople
hanging from the building and jumping
off. It was awful.

Luis Vazquez, Tobyhanna,who

worked in a building adjacent to the
towers.
It was like watching a movie. I saw
people covered in blood running. And
people carrying other people covered in
blood. It was horrifying.
When I got home last night I hugged
my wife and I hugged my son, and I
cried.

Gloria Trocki, Wright Township,

whose cousin Loretta Filipov lost her
husband, Alexander, a passenger on one
of the hijacked planes:
My hearts broken. When youre with
someone just last Saturday and then
(he) is dead. Here we were, hugging
and kissing and everything.

Bernie Walko, Edwardsville, whose

son Robert was a chief master sergeant
with the U.S. Air Force at the Pentagon:
His ofce was right on the other side
of the building. If it hadbeenhit, it would
have been completely wiped out, Walko
said, noting he waited 12 hours after the
attack before hearing from Robert.
From here on theyll be recovering
bodies. His job is to contact the next of
kin. Hes not looking forward to that.

Gary Wincz, Weatherly, who

worked in a New Jersey rail yard when
a co-worker called his attention to the
rst tower already in ames in the dis-
tance, in time to see the second plane
approach:
We said, Holy crap, look at how low
that thing is, Wincz said. We saw
it bank, straighten out and go into the
building. The jet just disintegrated.
On Sept. 12 Wincz saw a blank space
and smoke where the towers should be.
Its sickening, Wincz said. You cant
help but look over.

Keep a librarian
in middle school
I am writing today because I am
concerned about the removal of the
library program from the Wyoming
Valley West middle school. Middle
school library is the most
important library in any school dis-
trict. It teaches the students how
to not only nd the books they may
need, but also how to use the resourc-
es that are available. Students are at
the age where they are ready to use
the Internet, books and
encyclopedias for research.
The removal/omission of such a
program is not only detrimental to
the grades in that school, it is also
detrimental to the grades that come
after. Not only do these students in
sixth, seventh and eighth grade need
these resources, the impact will reach
beyond the here and now and into
their high school days. Schools that
have a library have higher test scores.
We need to think about what is best
for the students in the district. For a
lot of these students, between the ages
of 11 to 14, this library is the only
library they have. Its the only time
and way for them to check out books
and become better readers, and in
turn better students.
As a taxpayer who lives and works
in the Wyoming Valley West School
District, I implore you to do what is
best for the students, and reinstate
the middle school library. Changing
the name from Library to Media
Room makes no difference. We still
need a librarian to help the students
learn the most they can.
Thank you for your time.

The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust
Environment Explorer isnt the most
glamorous mission NASA has ever
launched, but it represents a giant
step forward for Americas re-engage-
ment with the moon.
Last Friday, the unmanned LADEE
spacecraft was launched from Wallops
Island, Va., atop a Minotaur V rocket.
Unlike the Apollo missions of a gen-
eration ago, the LADEE will orbit the
moon for 100 days studying the exo-
sphere its very thin atmosphere. It
will also be searching for clues to how
dust moves across the lunar surface.
One of the great unresolved ques-
tions of the Apollo missions was the
source of the mysterious yellow glow
on the moons horizon reported by
the astronauts conducting experi-
ments on the surface. NASA had no
explanation for the mysterious yellow
glow.
For 100 days, the $280 million
LADEE mission will study how moon
dust interacts with light far above
the lunar surface. Understanding the
subtle interaction between dust, light
and atmosphere of the moons exo-
sphere will enhance the understand-
ing of the similarly thin atmosphere
around asteroids, icy planets and
Mercury.
At the end of a mission recording
all it can about dust and light, the
LADEE will execute a suicide crash
into the moons surface, setting up
a plume of dust into the atmosphere
that will be studied by the next probe.
It may be true that theres nothing
new under the sun, but even dust can
sometimes be fascinating.

Worthy unmanned trip
for study of moon dust
Over the past three
weeks, I visited 28
Pennsylvania coun-
ties. I met with
business owners,
students, and workers
along the way. I host-
ed town hall meetings
and jobs roundtable
discussions with
many hundreds of
Pennsylvanians. At all
these stops, one mes-
sage came through
loud and clear.
People are worried about
jobs.
I heard agreement from
one corner of the state to
the other the economy
is sluggish and the job mar-
ket is disappointing. Folks
understand that the policies
out of Washington are exac-
erbating the problem.
Pennsylvanians cited
many examples of policies
that are stiing job cre-
ation. But two areas were
mentioned above others
and have people worried
the most: ObamaCare and
energy.
Examples of how
ObamaCare is already affect-
ing employment can be seen
in the news most days, but I
heard it rst hand in the last
few weeks. Small business
owners are worried about
the threshold that subjects
them to additional health
care mandates if they have
more than 50 full-
time workers. One
town hall participant
an entrepreneur
with 60 employees
asked me, What am
I supposed to do, lay
off 11 people?
Workers are also
worried that their
hours may be cut.
The law states that
employers must
comply with the
often unaffordable
Obamacare mandates for
full-time workers clocking
30 or more hours per week.
In response, businesses are
cutting employees hours to
less than 30. It is perverse
indeed when laws encourage
less hiring and fewer hours.
Since the laws adop-
tion, Ive been clear we
need to repeal it. I have
voted to defund or repeal
the Presidents health care
law at every turn. I am an
original cosponsor of the
ObamaCare Repeal Act and
the Defund ObamaCare Act
introduced by Senator Ted
Cruz.
As the American people
become increasingly aware
of how awful this law is for
them, I remain hopeful that
momentum will continue to
build to overturn it.
In the meantime, I am
working to dismantle the
law piece-by-piece. We could
start off with repeal of the
harmful medical device tax.
Such action has bipartisan
support and I am working
with Sen. Amy Klobuchar
(D-Minn.) to strike down
this tax which is particularly
harmful to Pennsylvania
the fourth-largest producer
of medical devices in the
country and home to 576
medical device companies.
In addition, the President
has implicitly acknowledged
his law is unworkable by
giving waivers to his politi-
cal allies and announcing
he will not enforce a central
part of the law by delaying
the employer mandate. Why
not delay the whole thing?
Government poli-
cies are also threatening
Pennsylvania energy jobs.
Two weeks ago, I visited a
Trainer, Pa. renery, which
is now required to blend mil-
lions of gallons of biofuels
notably corn ethanol
into the gasoline supplies.
Under these require-
ments, the amount of biofuel
required to blend is increas-
ing, while gasoline sales are
not. In order to comply with
these mandates, reners
are forced to make a choice:
increase the ethanol content
in their fuel blends or pay
a penalty by purchasing
what are known as credits
from government-moderated
markets.
Ethanol is a good example
of how government central
planning harms good pay-
ing jobs about 600 in
Southeast Pennsylvania.
Moreover, the policy drives
up gas prices, increase food
costs, and actually harms
the environment. The
Environmental Working
Group, an environmental
health research group,
said the policy is polluting
Americas air and water, con-
tributing to climate change,
and hurting consumers.
For the good of our
economy, we must repeal
mandates for corn ethanol in
our gasoline and I am work-
ing in a bipartisan fashion to
do just that.
Pennsylvanians dont
mince words. They are
worried about jobs. They
understand that the red tape
from Washington is making
matters worse in many ways,
and the Presidents health
care law and nonsensical
fuel requirements are the
most egregious.
As Congress returns in
September, I will continue
my work reforming these
expensive, ill-conceived
regulations so the economy
can grow and produce jobs.
Thank you for the feed-
back.

Pittston levee have ranged
from $13 million to more
than $30 million.
Bob Russin, chairman of
West Pittston Tomorrows
levee committee, wants
county, state and federal
government leaders to
rally behind the push for a
levee, saying many prom-
ised to back the borough
immediately after the
record ooding.
He believes the benet
cost ratio would be in the
boroughs favor but said
the project should proceed
regardless.
We need our elected
ofcials to play an active
role because this is an
injustice, Russin said. I
think the survival of our
whole town is dependent
on a levee.
He points to the county
and federal government
spending of $23 million on
the River Common park
in Wilkes-Barre, Wyoming
Valley Levee portal open-
ings and other recreational
amenities in Wilkes-Barre
for recreational purposes
without a benet cost
ratio.
They spent all that
money to bring people
back to the river. We in
West Pittston had the river
right in our living room,
Russin said.
Roberts said the ben-
et cost ratio is standard
protocol for the Army
Corps to proceed with a
new levee or ood wall,
and Congressional action
would be required to pro-
ceed if the potential dam-
ages dont exceed the
expense.
It is possible to not
include the benet cost
ratio, but thats not a call we
at the Army Corps could
make. Congress would
have to get involved, she
said.
Russin said the Army
Corps built a levee
upstream in the Exeter
area around Hicks Creek
but left the low-lying West
Pittston an unprotected
bowl.
Some have blamed the
boroughs removal from
the original Wyoming
Valley Levee plans on a
group of residents who
had objected to the loss of
their river view, while oth-
ers say the West Pittston
portion of the project was
dropped because the ben-
et cost ratio didnt justify
the expense.
Russin said these past
decisions should have no
bearing on a proposed
borough levee today but
stressed he has owned
his Susquehanna Avenue
home since 1985 and was
never asked to provide
input on a levee before
September 2011.
Flood insurance
He had 33 inches of
water on the rst oor of
his house in 2011 and said
he pays $4,500 per year for
ood insurance that would
cost only several hundred
dollars annually in a levee-
protected area.
The value of bor-
ough properties also has
declined since 2011 due
to the ood risk and high
cost of ood insurance, he
said.
The 64-year-old said he
has somewhat obsessively
monitored weather reports
since the record ood to
determine if his commu-
nity is in danger.
Its always in the back
of my mind. If we dont get
a levee, I cant rest. Thats
why Im relentless, he
said.

arm-in-arm. Former Gov.
George Pataki, New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
and others were in atten-
dance. As with last year,
no politicians spoke.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg
watched the ceremony for
his nal time in ofce.
Carol Eckna recalled the
contagious laugh of her
son, Paul Robert Eckna,
who was killed in the north
tower.
Just yesterday, you
were 28, she said. Today,
you are 40. You are forever
young. Dad and I are proud
to be your parents.
Outside Washington,
hundreds of people gath-
ered for a short, simple
ceremony at an Arlington
County plaza three miles
from the Pentagon. First
responders from the coun-
ty were among the rst on
the scene that day.
Fire Chief James
Schwartz said ceremonies
like Wednesdays which
featured an honor guard
and a moment of silence
serve as a reminder of why
rst responders spend so
much time preparing for
disaster.
Ive often said this has
been the fastest 12 years
of my life, Schwartz said.
But if you are a surviving
family member, Id imag-
ine this has been the lon-
gest 12 years of your life,
because youre waking up
every day with a hole in
your heart.
Bloomberg also spoke
at a remembrance service
for the 84 Port Authority
employees killed on Sept.
11 at St. Peters Roman
Catholic Church, in the
shadowof where the World
Trade Center once stood.
On that terrible day, we
were united in prayer and
compassion for all of you
who lost loved ones, the
mayor said. As we woke
up this morning, our rst
thoughts were with you as
well.
Dozens of family mem-
bers and colleagues lled
the pews as the Port
Authority Police Pipes and
Drums played during the
posting of colors.
Around the world,
thousands of volunteers
pledged to do good deeds,
honoring an anniversary
that was designated a
National Day of Service
and Remembrance in
2009.
By next years anni-
versary, a 9/11 museum
is expected to be open
beneath the memorial
plaza in New York City.
While the memorial hon-
ors those killed, the muse-
um is intended to present a
broader picture, including
the experiences of survi-
vors and rst responders.
As things evolve in the
future, the focus on the
remembrance is going to
stay sacrosanct, memo-
rial President Joe Daniels
said.
Douglas Hamatie,
whose 31-year-old cousin
Robert Horohoe worked
for Cantor Fitzgerald
and died on 9/11, drew
applause from the crowd
when he declared that
the day should become a
national holiday.
The kids today, they
know when the next
iPhones coming out, and
they know when the next
Justin Bieber concert
is, but they dont know
enough about 9/11, he
said. So lets change that,
please.

each for secretaries, cus-
todians and administra-
tors have yet to be
settled. In fact, the teacher
contract was set at four
years in large part to help
stagger the expiration of
future contracts so such a
conuence does not hap-
pen again, Solicitor Ray
Wendolowski said.
But teachers make up a
large majority of both sal-
ary and insurance costs,
so Przywara expects that
even after the other three
contracts are settled, the
district should see a net
annual savings from the
teachers contract.
The total raises for
the four years are simple
math. The contract calls
for $1,000 increases in all
15 steps in the pay scale
each of the four years.
That effectively means
$1,000 raises each year for
each of about 550 teachers
$550,000 a year for four
years equals $2.2 million.
The savings from the
insurance changes high-
er deductibles and co-pays
are much more compli-
cated because the savings
vary depending on how
many teachers have what
type of policies: single or
family. But the changes
from the last contract,
which expired this sum-
mer, are substantial:
Deductibles: The
expired contract had no
deductible for service pro-
vided by physicians and
others within its network.
Out-of-network deduct-
ibles were $200 for individ-
ual coverage and $400 for
family. The new plan calls
for in-network deductibles
of $150 and $450, and out-
of-network deductibles of
$300 and $900.
Offce visit co-pays:
The old plan had $7 co-
pays regardless of type of
visit. The new plan has co-
pays of $10 for regular doc-
tor visits and $25 and $35
for specialist visits.
Prescription co-pays:
The old plan had a at $7
co-pay, regardless of type
of prescription. The new
plan goes to a three-tier
system, becoming increas-
ingly common, with $10
for generic prescriptions,
$20 for name-brand drugs
$30 for drugs not on the
rst two lists.
Percentage-wise, that
means teachers will see
deductibles for out-of-net-
work services rise 50 to
125 percent and see pre-
scription co-pays rise 43
percent to 400 percent.
By comparison, the
$1,000 at pay increase for
all is a shrinking percent-
age the higher up the pay
scale you go.
All area school districts
pay on a step/column pay
matrix, providing raises
every year for a limited
number of years the
steps and raises for
increased education mea-
sured in set numbers of
college credits, the col-
umns.
The Wilkes-Barre Area
matrix has 11 columns,
giving increases for 15
credits, 30 credits, a mas-
ters degree or bachelorss
plus 39 credits, and for
every nine credits above a
masters degree through a
doctorate. The percentage
increases range between
2 and 3 percent in most
cases, though the bump for
a masters degree can run
as high as 5.6 percent. A
larger masters increase is
common in contracts.
The matrix has 15 steps.
But while most other dis-
tricts give a small raise
every step after step 1,
Wilkes-Barre Area steps
are banded, meaning
raises come only every
few years but are typically
much larger. A teacher
gets a substantial raise
from 8 percent to more
than 19 percent at steps
two, ve, 10 and 15, with
much smaller raise of less
than 2 percent at step 12.
Salary remains at every
year in between, unless
increases are negotiated
into a contract.
The at, $1,000 raise
becomes a shrinking
percentage as teachers
climb the pay scale. For
a second-year bachelors
degree teacher, a $1,000
raise (above the built-in
step two raise) is a 2.4 per-
cent boost. For a 10th-year
teacher with a masters,
its 1.6 percent. And for a
teacher at the top of the
scale with 15 years and a
doctorate, its 1.2 percent.

waits to participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial on Wednesday
in Shanksville.
SHANKSVILLE
Under a blue sky and
against a backdrop of rolling
hills, family, friends and oth-
ers gathered Wednesday in a
western Pennsylvania eld
to mourn and praise the pas-
sengers and crew who died
12 years ago after ghting
back against the hijackers of
United Flight 93.
In a period of 22 min-
utes, our loved ones made
history, said Gordon Felt,
the president of the Families
of Flight 93, whose brother,
Edward, was among the
aboard the hijacked plane
on Sept. 11, 2001.
At the Flight 93 National
Memorial ceremony, fami-
lies of those aboard the
plane, along with about
200 people, read the names
of 33 passengers and seven
crew members aloud, and
bells tolled for each, as they
marked the 12th anniver-
sary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
As the names were read,
a light haze began to burn
off the surrounding hills.
The memorial wall of white
stone has each victims
name engraved on a sepa-
rate panel, and the scene
was framed by yellow wild-
owers in the nearby elds.
Flight 93 was travel-
ing from Newark, N.J., to
San Francisco when it was
hijacked with the likely goal
of crashing it into the White
House or Capitol.
As passenger Todd
Beamer issued the rally-
ing cry Lets roll, he and
others rushed down the
airliners aisle to try to over-
whelm the hijackers after
learning of the coordinated
attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon.
The 9/11 Commission
concluded that the hijack-
ers downed the plane as the
hostages revolted.
Later Wednesday, park
rangers and volunteers gave
presentations about Flight
93 and the creation of the
memorial park, located in
Shanksville.

Texas rangers third base coach Gary Pettis
still has vivid memories of that day 12 years
ago, when two hijacked jets were own into the
World Trade Center towers.
back then, Pettis was a coach for the Chicago
White Sox, who had arrived in town only a few
hours earlier for a scheduled game that night
against the New York Yankees.
You could smell the smoke. it wasnt a good
feeling that day, Pettis said Wednesday before
a home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
its so sad that so many people lost their lives,
and its ruined other peoples lives. its like it
was a movie, its like that wasnt something that
actually happened. i still cant believe it.
What he does believe is the importance for
Major League baseball and all Americans
to take a moment to remember Sept. 11.
Players, coaches and umpires wore American
ag patches embroidered on the side of their
caps in commemoration of the tragedy. Special
lineup cards were used, and patriotic on-eld
tributes were planned for the days 15 games,
involving all 30 teams. Flags were half-staff, and
there were moments of silence across baseball.
There were impromptu remembrances, too.
in New York, art students made a chalk draw-
ing in blue and orange on the sidewalk outside
Citi Field, showing the Twin Towers, the Mets
logo and the words Never Forget.
New York Mets manager Terry Collins wore
an NYPD hat and his players wore caps repre-
senting other rst responders during batting
practice before hosting Washington.
Youll always remember how you felt on
9/11, Collins said.

For some coaches, its a
problem to be solved. For
bill Obrien, its been a
situation to exploit.
running back by com-
mittee isnt so bad, the
Penn State coach said,
when you have three
good running backs.
Obrien of course had
plenty of success as offen-
sive coordinator of the
New england Patriots
by rotating his backeld,
getting carries for three,
four, even ve different
players in a game.
So it shouldnt come
as a surprise to see the
Nittany Lions release
their depth chart for
Saturdays uCF game
with Zach Zwinak, bill
belton and Akeel Lynch
all listed as co-starters at
running back.
Zwinak, the 1,000-yard
rusher who took the reins
in the nal two months
of last season, is still the
presumptive starter. but
going forward, its less
likely that hell see the
30-plus carries a game
he saw at the very end of
2012.
Obrien has made it
clear since the spring
that all three of his tail-
backs will see the eld
as the season goes along,
and that was the case on
Saturday against eastern
Michigan.
i like all three of these
guys playing, Obrien
said. i think one of the
things that we try to do
is, if a guy gets really
hot, well stick with a hot
back.
Against the eagles,
it was nine carries for
belton, seven for Zwinak
and 13 for Lynch, many
coming in the second half
with the Lions up big and
looking to run clock.
it was nothing against

FOXbOrOuGH, Mass. Geno Smith
was 10 years old when Tom brady played
his rst game against the Jets. On Thursday
night, New Yorks rookie quarterback
makes his debut in the rivalry with the New
england Patriots.
Hes hoping for a better result than brady
had.
in his second season, brady replaced an
injured Drew bledsoe in the fourth quarter
of the second game in 2001. The Jets won
10-3.
From an outside view, its always been
one of the best rivalries in the NFL, Smith
said. Looking to see who can come out
and be the toughest team, and hopefully
(we) get the victory. From being on this
team now, i know it means a lot to everyone
around here.
Since that loss 12 years ago, brady is 18-5
as a starter against the Jets, including the
postseason. Hes won three Super bowls and
two regular-season MVP awards. Facing the
Jets, though, is still special.
its awesome, brady said. its boston-
New York. its been that way for a long time,
long before me, and any time you see them
on the schedule you just think of all the great
games that youve had against them and you
think of how challenging the game will be.

Five-time NASCAr
champion Jimmie
Johnson denied any
wrongdoing the Chase
field-deciding race at
richmond international
raceway over the week-
end that has been marred
by controversy.
Johnson defended him-
self one day after fellow
driver Clint bowyer said
his spinout at richmond
was no different than
when a Johnson mishap
brought out a caution
earlier in the race.
Clint brought it up
from what ive been
able to see and read,
Johnson said Wednesday
at Charlotte Motor
Speedway. i think he
was just having a bad
day. And as things kept
piling on, he just tried to
suck someone else into
the mix with him.
bowyers spin ended
ryan Newmans bid to
win the race and make the
Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship field and
instead helped Michael
Waltrip racing teammate
Martin Truex Jr. land a
berth. NASCAr, howev-
er, determined that MWr
had manipulated the race
and replaced Truex with
Newman in addition to
punishing MWr.
The implication by
bowyer was that Johnson
spun intentionally with
55 laps remaining to
assist the Chase chances
of Jeff Gordon, Johnsons
teammate at Hendrick
Motorsports.
Johnson blamed a flat
tire for his caution and
pointed out correctly
that Gordon already
was on pit road when it
occurred.
if anyone has any
questions, just go back
and look at the race and
youll see that our tire
blowing was bad for
the 24 (of driver Jeff
Gordon), bad for the 5
(of driver Kasey Kahne,
another Hendrick team-
mate) bad for a lot of
guys who were coming to
pit road, Johnson said.
The only silver lining
for the 24 was that he was
preserved on pit road,
and was able to get the
Lucky Dog (to get back
on the lead lap). but even
then, you have to start at
the tail end (of the lead-
lap cars). . There was no
benefit.
At Dover Air Force
base in Delaware, Kyle
busch was asked what he
thought of the scandal.
i say you do whatever
youve got to do to get
your team in, busch said
of the Chase. if youre in
that position, and you
have multi-team cars,
thats what theyre there
for. Some people say im
full of crap and youre not
supposed to manipulate
the end of the race. Just
let it play out as it plays
out. Let the best man
win.
but, i was in the same
position last year. There
were ways it could have
been manipulated and i
could have gotten myself
in the Chase. but i didnt
do it. And i missed the
Chase.
Johnson said NASCAr
needs to use more offi-
cials and more technol-
ogy resources, such as
television replays and
even in-car audio, to
make better calls during
the races.
in the overall issue
of officiating, i think we
need to expect things
and when we get to the
Chase time of the year
and really we should
have it all year but

robinson Cano hit a tie-
breaking homer leading
off the ninth inning, and
the New York Yankees also
got solo shots from Alex
rodriguez and Curtis
Granderson in a 5-4 vic-
tory over the baltimore
Orioles on Wednesday
night.
The Yankees moved past
baltimore and Cleveland
in the AL wild-card hunt.
New York has hit eight
home runs in winning two
of three in the four-game
series that concludes
Thursday night.
The Yankees trailed
3-1 before Granderson
homered in the fth
New Yorks rst hit
and rodriguez tied it in
the sixth with his 653rd
career home run.
in the ninth, after Cano
connected off Tommy
Hunter (4-4), Granderson
tripled with one out and
scored on an ineld hit by
Lyle Overbay.
David robertson (5-1)
worked the eighth and
Mariano rivera gave
up a run-scoring single
to brian roberts before
securing his 43rd save,
tied for the major league
lead with baltimores Jim
Johnson.
Orioles slugger Chris
Davis drove in two runs
with a double, making
him the rst player in
team history to have 40
doubles and 40 homers in
a season. Danny Valencia
tied a career high with
four hits, and roberts had
three singles.
baltimore outhit New
York 13-6.
before the game, the
Yankees announced that
shortstop Derek Jeter
would miss the rest of the
season with an injured
left ankle. The Yankees
captain played in only 17
games this season and
made four trips to the dis-
abled list.
The announcement
coincided with the arriv-
al of shortstop brendan
ryan, obtained one night
earlier in a trade with
Seattle. Although ryan
went hitless, he performed
awlessly and showed
good range in the eld.
Yankees starter Andy
Pettitte gave up three runs
and nine hits over 6 1-3
innings. The 41-year-old
lefty has gone 13 straight
starts since September
2007 without losing to
baltimore, going 8-0 over
that stretch. Pettitte has
lost only twice to the
Orioles since 2002 and is
28-6 lifetime against them.
Pettitte has pitched at
least six innings in each
of his last six starts and is
3-0 in seven outings since
Aug. 5.
baltimores Scott
Feldman allowed only
three hits in 7 2-3 innings,
two of them homers. The
right-hander struck out
six and walked two. His
rst walk came against
the rst batter of the game
and the second was to the
last batter he faced.
New York got a rst-
inning run when lead-
off hitter brett Gardner
walked, stole second and
scored on two groundouts.
The Orioles took a 2-1
lead in the third. roberts
and Manny Machado sin-
gled with two outs before
Davis lined a two-run dou-
ble through the shift into
right-eld.
Doubles by Valencia and
J.J. Hardy made it 3-1 in
the fourth, but baltimore
stranded runners at the
corners.
NOTES: New Yorks
David Huff squares off
against Wei-Yin Chin in
a duel of left-handers in
the series nale Thursday
night. Pettitte has held
the opposition scoreless
in the rst inning over
six straight starts after
allowing at least one
rst-inning run in eight
consecutive games before
that. Granderson is 7
for 17 with four homers
lifetime against Feldman.
Feldman threw a sea-
son-high 112 pitches.

ROB MAADDI
AP Pro Football Writer
PHILADELPHIA While Chip
Kellys offense received most of the
attention for a sensational start, the
Philadelphia Eagles defense also had
an impressive debut.
Thats the bigger surprise.
The Eagles were expected to score
plenty of points with Michael Vick,
LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson
playing in Kellys up-tempo offense.
But the defense gured to have some
growing pains learning new coordi-
nator Billy Davis 3-4 scheme.
Instead, they had no trouble adjust-
ing.
Led by Trent Cole, Mychal
Kendricks and Cary Williams, the
defense was aggressive and opportu-
nistic. They forced three turnovers,
sacked Robert Grifn III three times
and recorded a safety in a 33-27 win
over the Washington Redskins on
Monday night.
It was a great effort, a great per-
formance by the defense, Davis said
Wednesday. The plan going in was
to take care of the running game,
which is really what theyre built off
of, and I think the guys did a great job
of executing the plan. Now, within
that were lots of mistakes and tech-
nique errors and things that we need
to work on and must improve on.
Taking advantage of a rusty RG3,
the defense forced a fumble, inter-
cepted a pass and got a safety on
Washingtons rst three possessions.
They held the Redskins to three rst
downs and 75 yards in the rst half
and pitched a shutout before allow-
ing 20 points in the nal 16 minutes.
Those three turnovers, including
Grifns career-high two picks, were
a drastic turnaround from last season
when the Eagles couldnt force the
ball away from teams. They tied for
the NFL-worst with 13 turnovers,
one of many reasons for a dismal 4-12
nish.
I think we still have some work to
do, said Williams, who had a sack
and interception in his rst game
with the Eagles. I still think were
not where we need to be yet. But its
a building block. I think we have a
lot to build on. We played extremely
well, we made plays when we needed
to, guys came up big for us and the
offense had our backs.
It was just a great collective win.
The switch from a 4-3 alignment
to a 3-4 meant Cole, a two-time Pro
Bowl defensive end, had to move
to outside linebacker after eight
seasons in the league. Not an easy
assignment for a guy who turns 31
next month and is coming off the
worst season of his career.
But Cole made the transition seem
natural. He forced a fumble, was cred-
ited with a safety, had one tackle for
a loss, had several quarterback pres-
sures and played well in coverage.
Wherever they put me, Im going
to play, Cole said. Im not going to
fail. Im going to do whatever I can
and do my best at it. I feel like I can
play the position. This is a start for
me. Im excited. This is exciting for
me, a new position. Im just going to
continue improving and improving.
The fourth quarter left a bad taste
in many players minds, however.
Grifn led the Redskins to a touch-
down late in the third quarter and two
more in the fourth to turn a blowout
into a close one. The Redskins were
an onside kick away from having the
ball with a chance to win at the end,
but the Eagles recovered the kick.
When you put the tape on, you
saw how much work we have left to
do, Davis said.
Philip Rivers and the San Diego
Chargers (0-1) present another chal-
lenge this Sunday. Rivers, a four-time
Pro Bowl pick, threw four TD passes
in a 31-28 loss to the Houston Texans
on Monday night.
Eagles new-look defense also impresses

PITTSBURGH Kelvin
Beachum wasnt built to play
center. Sorry, grow up the big-
gest kid on the block and you
tend to get stereotyped by
football coaches.
So Beachum spent his child-
hood at tackle, where a quiet
kid from Texas could use his
frame to push defensive line-
men around with relative ease.
Eight plays into last Sundays
16-9 loss to Tennessee, that
all changed. One minute, the
Pittsburgh Steelers reserve
offensive lineman/was stand-
ing on the sideline watching
the Steelers drive deep into
Tennessee territory, the next,
he was snapping the ball to
Ben Roethlisberger after Pro
Bowl standout Maurkice
Pouncey left on a cart, his
right knee mangled and his
season already over.
While Roethlisberger knelt
on the eld, his hands on his
head, Beachum red off a
couple of snaps trying to make
sure he knew what he was
doing. There werent any jit-
ters. It all happened so quick-
ly, he didnt have the luxury of
getting nervous.
There no time to go
through the emotions or feel
your way through, Beachum
said. You have to just go play
football.
And for all the chaos that
surrounded Pittsburghs for-
gettable opening weekend,
Beachums ability to handle a
position he hadnt played since
Pee Wee is cause for optimism
heading into Monday nights
game at Cincinnati.
Beachum is going to do
well, guard Ramon Foster
said. Were going to help him
as much as possible. The oper-
ation should be the same.
Even if the guy who usually
runs the switchboard is sched-
uled to undergo surgery on
Thursday to repair torn liga-
ments in his knee. While the
Steelers preach a next man
up philosophy, theres little
doubt Pounceys absence on
the eld will be felt.
The loss might be even more
acute in a locker room where
the 24-year-old commands the
respect of players a decade
older. He is the only one of
Pittsburghs four captains on
the younger side of 30, a testa-
ment to his leadership in the
huddle and his magnetic pres-
ence on the sideline.
Given a full week to pre-
pare for the Bengals, Beachum
is condent hell be a capa-
ble ll-in thanks in part to
Pounceys guidance. Members
of the offensive line meet
at Pounceys house every
Thursday, where they watch
lm and get massages.
During those sessions
Pouncey will hit the clicker
and point out what he sees.
Beachum is a rapt student.
Hes picked up the line calls
quickly and studies the assign-
ments at all ve line positions.
Its that cerebral approach that
led the Steelers to take a sev-
enth-round ier on Beachum
in 2012.
Kelvin knows his stuff,
Roethlisberger said.
Beachum beat the odds to
make the 53-man roster. By
the end, he was starting at
right tackle. The path from
survivor to contributor is one
he couldnt have made without
Pouncey.
Beachum likened Pouncey
to a big brother even though
Beachum is actually six weeks
older.
Hes been in the league for
awhile, Beachum said. He
can really talk to you about
things.
That includes cramming
for a test he never expected
to take. Beachum spent por-
tions of training camp work-
ing at tight end, a wrinkle in
offensive coordinator Todd
Haleys system designed to
give the line another thumper
in short-yardage situations.
Steelers Beachuma quick study at center
PSU
From page 1B
looks at Belton and Lynch.
Both delivered against an overmatched opponent.
Each nished with 108 yards on the ground as Belton
scored twice to match Zwinak. Lynch added a late
touchdown of his own.
As a group, we come in each week preparing no
matter who is gonna be the guy, Belton said. We
dont have any problem with each others success. We
all support each other and feed off each other.
For Belton, it was his rst standout performance
since October of last year when he scored three touch-
downs at Iowa.
The junior had dealt with a high ankle sprain early
in 2012 and then spent almost all of November on the
sideline. Over the summer he was able to buckle down
and focus on academics to ensure he was eligible to
play in the fall.
OBrien lauded Belton this week for sticking to a
plan and improving habits in practice and in the class-
room.
Billys come a long way, OBrien said. Billy and I
have had a number of conversations about a lot of dif-
ferent things, not just football. I just have a connection
withBilly, andI think hes a great kid, andhes working
extremelyhardinthe classroom. He workedextremely
hard this summer to be where hes at right now.
Hes running the ball better. Hes being more deci-
sive running the ball, and his pass-catching ability out
of the backeld is good.
Overall, hes a much better player, and hes turned
the corner off the eld too, I believe.
Coach OBrien and my parents did a great job of
keeping me level-headed and telling me to keep work-
ing, Belton said. And then everything would work
out.
Belton acknowledged that last week was a good
start for him and the running back group as a whole,
but that thats all it was. Eastern Michigan had the
countrys worst run defense a year ago and the Eagles
look to be headed toward the bottomagain.
If the Lions are going to hold off a tough challenge
fromUCF, the trio will need to come through again.
That includes Lynch, who played exclusively on
special teams in the opener before getting his rst real
action this past week.
It was goodtoget himinthere, OBriensaid. Hes
a fantastic kidandhes a guy whohas workedextreme-
ly hard to improve his game.
JETS
From page 1B
they won in the nal seconds. The
Patriots struggled against the
Buffalo Bills before winning
23-21 on Stephen Gostkowskis
35-yard field goal with 5 sec-
onds left. The Jets beat the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 18-17
on Nick Folks 48-yarder with
2 seconds remaining.
And Smiths passer rating of
80.6 was better than Bradys
76.4. There are some new
faces that are part of the rival-
ry, so its going to be an excit-
ing game, Brady said.
Its going to be tough. I
expect it to be a packed house,
Smith said. Everyone is going
to be excited and amped.
Here are four things to watch
for Thursday in the Patriots
home opener:
BANGED-UP PATRIOTS:
After just one game, the
ranks of Patriots runners and
receivers are being depleted.
Shane Vereen broke his left
wrist early in his 101-yard
rushing performance against
the Bills and went on injured
reserve with a designation to
return, forcing him to miss
eight games. Wide receiver
Danny Amendola, who led the
Patriots with 10 receptions in
the opener but aggravated a
groin injury, and tight end Rob
Gronkowski, coming back from
forearm and back surgery, are
listed as doubtful.
CHASING BRADY: For all
his accomplishments, Brady
does have a weakness: Hes
rather immobile. Combine
that with a Jets defense that
is younger and faster than
it was last year and he could
be under a lot of pressure.
The Jets got that last Sunday
against Josh Freeman and held
the Buccaneers to 250 yards.
We played against (Brady)
last year and got some three-
and- outs, defensive lineman
Muhammad Wilkerson said.
As long as we do that, well
have no problem. The Patriots
are familiar with the Jets after
playing against Bills defensive
coordinator Mike Pettine, who
held that job in New York the
past four years. And they have
a solid, veteran offensive line.
ROOKIE REDUX: Two
games, two rookie quarter-
backs. The Patriots face Smith,
the 39th pick in the draft, just
four days after going against
EJ Manuel, the 16th choice.
Both quarterbacks are able
to scramble and use their feet
a little bit to extend plays, so
you just have to be smart as a
defensive lineman, Patriots
defensive end Rob Ninkovich
said. Manuel had a good debut,
even posting a better passer
rating than Brady. Smith was
cool and productive on the
winning drive against the
Buccaneers and finished with
256 yards passing and 47 yards
rushing. But can the rookie do
it against coach Bill Belichicks
intricate defensive schemes?
KEEPING THE BALL: Its
imperative that the Jets main-
tain possession and keep the
ball away from the Patriots
productive, fast-paced offense.
New England led the NFL in
points and yards last season
and ran 89 plays in the opener,
28 more than the Bills. But
Smith will be without wide
receiver Jeremy Kerley, out
with a concussion after catch-
ing three passes against the
Buccaneers. Santonio Holmes
had one catch and 45 snaps
after missing most of last sea-
son with a foot injury.

rescue and security organizations marched
ontothe eld. The Mets andNationals then
linedupalongthebaselines for amoment of
silence andthe national anthem.
At Rangers Ballpark in Texas, the 531st
U.S. Air Force Quintet performed the
national anthem instrumentally. The hon-
orary rst pitch was thrown out by former
prisoner of war Jessica Lynch, who was
19 when she was captured along with ve
other soldiers after the U.S. Armys 507th
Maintenance Company took a wrong turn
and came under attack in Iraq in 2003. She
was heldfor nine days before beingrescued.
The Cleveland Police Department pre-
sentedthe colors at Progressive Fieldbefore
the national anthem at the Indians game
against Kansas City.
Clevelands Jason Giambi was with
Oakland when the Athletics were in the
2001 playoffs against the Yankees. He
recalled the atmosphere at Yankee Stadium
being unbelievable, even more electric
thanusual for the postseason.
It will always be a time Ill remember,
going out there playing against the Yankees
during that time, Giambi said. It kind of
healedthe nation, especially the city of New
York, which was hit so hard. There they
were, the Yankees playing in the playoffs,
goingall the way to the WorldSeries.
Giambi signed with the Yankees after
that, andspent sevenseasons inNewYork.
Playingthereall thoseyears, thekids, the
reghters, the people who lost their lives
saving the other lives, Ill always remember
that, very muchso, Giambi said.

Before San Francisco hosted Colorado
at AT&T Park, rst pitches were thrown
out by two San Francisco reghters who
went to NewYork in the days after Sept. 11
to provide help and support. Dean Crispen,
captain of Station 28, and Derek OLeary,
driver of rescue squad one from Station 1,
ew on the rst commercial ight allowed

Pettis and the White Sox had arrived in
NewYork12years agoaround2-3a.m., and
he was awokenbya phone call froma friend
checking tomake sure he was OK.
I said, Yeah, ImOK, Imasleep. Hesaid,
you dont know, do you? Pettis recalled. I
turnontheTVandI seethat thebuilding
smokes coming out of the building and
they saidthere hadbeena plane crash.
Like so many others, Pettis thought
maybe it was just a tragic accident before
the secondplane hit the other tower.
The White Sox were staying in a hotel
at Grand Central Station, a little more than
three miles from the World Trade Center
site.
Pettis and the rest of the staff worked to
locate everybody with the team, and to get
out of the building, with concerns about
more potential attacks.
We were going down the stairs and you
hear this rumble, and were going what the
heck is that? Pettis said. We just kind of
take off running out the doors, and nowwe
see people running out of the train station,
andwe hadnoidea what theywere running
from.
Pettis cant believe its been 12 years.
Before going to the ballpark on Wednesday
morning, he turned on his TV knowing
what hewas goingtosee. It tookmeamin-
ute to get up and get my day going because
I started watching some of the stories and
listening to some of the people talk about
being there, and then seeing some of the
messagesthat wereleft forfamilies,hesaid.
Pirates inelder Clint Barmes remem-
bers exactly where he was and what he was
doing 12years ago.
He was only 22 years old in his second
season of pro ball, and on the way home
after winning the championship with high-
ASalemthe night before.
I didnt get a chance to see anything on
TV until I got home later that evening.
Had my car already packed ready to go,
Barmes said. I woke up, jumped in my car
and started driving home before I realized
exactly what happened.
Theres a lot of things that goes through
your mind when something like that hap-
pens. It was a scary moment for sure.
To veteran Tampa Bay manager Joe
Maddon, it was a day to remember the ter-
rible images ontelevision, anda pal.
Oneof mybest friends incollegehas just
been appointed the head of the N.Y. Port
Authority. Neil Levin, he said. So then
Im thinking, OK, Neils pretty cool, hes
the boss, hes going to showuplate, hes not
going tobe there early.
As it turns out he was having breakfast
that morning in that restaurant on the top
oor. So we lost Neil on that one, he said.
Sowhenever I hear 9/11, this date while
I was ridingmybiketoday, seeingtheagat
half-mast, I thought of Neil.
Washingtonstar Bryce Harper was just 8
and at home in Las Vegas when the attacks
occurred.
I was in my moms bed, watching TV.
I used to watch CHiPs and Saved by the
Bell inthose days. Thenit came on, all over

I was trying to understand it, we were
trying to decide whether I should go to
school.
I remember my dad came right home
fromwork. I remember he came inthe door
and I ran right to him, gave him a big hug
andtoldhim, I love you.
Harper said he and some Washington
teammates hopedtovisit the National Sept.
11 Memorial plaza in lower Manhattan late
Wednesday night, after their game against
the Mets, tosee the Tribute inLight.
We wanted to see the beams, Harper
said. I think its important.
should have people
staffed up instead of
downsizing, Johnson
said. Not only from
the aspect of what were
talking about right here,
but also on restarts and
a lot of other procedures
that take place.
It is tough for the
(officials in the scor-
ing) tower to take care
of it all. They need
other people, qualified
people, other resources
and technology to make
these decisions.
Johnson said if there
was any question that
the race needed to be
stopped.
If there is any ques-
tion they need to stop
the race immediately,
Johnson said. Red flag.
Pits are closed. Figure it
out and make the best
judgment that they can
because trying to
go back on a Monday
or a Tuesday to fix the
situation, that is just
too much. Ive learned
something about the

Throwing the ball no passing fancy
JOHN ERZAR
jerzar@timesleader.com
Coughlin coach Ciro Cinti
rarely misses an opportunity to
throw some good-natured (at
least I think it is) sarcasm into
his postgame comments.
Two touchdown passes. I
think we had two, didnt we?
Cinti said last Friday night.
The two touchdown passes
put the Crusaders halfway to
last years regular-season total.
And they still have eight games
left until a possible postseason
game.
When Cinti says something,
its very difcult to tell wheth-
er hes serious. He said in the
preseason that his Coughlin
team would throw more this
year. No one believed him.
After all, the Crusaders have
made six consecutive post-
seasons on the legs of their
tailback and brute strength of
their offensive line.
And just seven passing
attempts in the opener did
nothing to make the coach
sound truthful. Last Friday
changed that.
Coughlin quarterback
Tim Pilch threw 13 times,
completing seven for 137 yards
and two touchdowns. The lat-
ter two stats were career highs
for the senior.
I like that they have more
faith in me, Pilch said. We are
known as a running team and
to come out and pass the ball.
We read the papers, everybody
knows (running) is what were
trying to do. But we showed we
can throw the ball and people
should at least respect it.
Pilch showed more zip on the
ball than last year. He doesnt
have to sling it 20-25 times a
game. But if he and the receiv-
ers could pick their spots and
make Coughlin a little more
diversied then it will only
make the Crusaders a better
team in the long run.
SCHEDULE REMINDER
Saturdays Berwick at Dallas
game starts at 2 p.m. Dallas
home games against Crestwood
on Oct. 19 and Tunkhannock
on Oct. 26 will also start at 2
p.m.
The other two home games
will have the normal 1 p.m.
kickoff.
NOT SO FAST
Defending District 2 Class
3A champion Abington
Heights defeated Dallas 17-0
Saturday to post its second
consecutive shutout. New
starting quarterback J.C. Show
looked smooth transitioning
from receiver. Receiver Nate
Hollander picked up where he
left off last year, and running
back Sean Rock wasnt spec-
tacular but looks like he can
provide solid running.
Therefore, the Comets are on
a collision course for a rematch
with Berwick for the D2-3A
title. Right? Not so fast, coach
Joe Repshis cautioned.
Right now we have a long
way to go, Repshis said. We
had a lot of things we did well,
but we have a lot of things we
need to improve upon. We go
out each and every week and
want to be perfect. Thats our
goal, but well go back, watch
lm and try to improve on all
three phases of the game.
MEASURING UP
Class 4A schools can usu-
ally line up big boys along the
line of scrimmage. So it was
surprising to see who was
starting at left guard for
Hazleton Area on Saturday
No. 72 Zeb Kopczynskie, who
is 5-foot-6 and 195 pounds.
Kopczynskie did a solid job
on offense. He also played
some defense and while over-
powered a couple times he
more than held his own.
SEEING YELLOW
Holy Redeemer did so many
things right in the second half
of its victory against Holy
Cross. Lining up for a nal
snap wasnt one of them.
Instead, the Royals were
called for a penalty on the
games nal play when they
couldnt get set for a nal snap.
I dont know. Guys are tired,
got some coming out, Royals
coach Pat Reece said. Were
just going to kneel the ball
down. Im not even in a victory
formation or anything.
It was the last of 10 penalties
for Redeemer. The Royals have
been penalized 20 times for
173 yards through two games.
We cant afford to do even
a little bit wrong, Reece said
after his team was agged for
92 yards of penalties Saturday.
Weve got to do everything
right out there.
Its probably been a tough
week of practice at Nanticoke
as well, as the Trojans were
another winner who over came
many mistakes. Nanticoke was
called for 13 penalties totaling
96 yards.
Im always disappointed
with penalties, Nanticoke
coach Ron Bruza said.
Especially the stupid ones.
HISTORY REPEATS
GAR failed to score on
offense in its 48-7 loss to
Dunmore. The only touch-
down came via an 87-yard punt
return by Anthony Maurent.
The loss also snapped a
streak of 10 consecutive games
with a rushing touchdown. The
last team to keep GARs rush
offense out of the end zone was
Dunmore in Week 2 of 2012.
AHEAD OF PACE
Berwicks C.J. Curry and
Holy Redeemers Jimmy
Strickland each have six
touchdown passes through
two games, putting them on
pace to throw 30 during the
regular season. Its doubtful
either will get to 30 and there
is no chance either will reach
the national record.
According to maxpreps.
com, the national high school
record for touchdown passes
in a season is 91 set by Corey
Robinson of Lone Oak (Ky.)
High School in 2007. The mark
included playoff games.
Robinson is the current
starting quarterback at Troy
University.
EXPECTED, UNEXPECTED
Three of each from games
played Week 2:
Expected
Dallas to struggle on offense
once again. The Mountaineers
were shut out for a second time,
17-0 to Abington Heights. And
considering the Comets shut
out Pittston Area, a team with
a better overall group of skill
players compared to Dallas, a
week earlier there was no rea-
son to believe Dallas would do
any better.
Nanticoke to roll Columbia-
Montour Vo-Tech 48-0. Kids
dont go to tech schools
because they are the gateway
to the NFL. Vo-Tech coach
Mark Varner does what he can
with the hand dealt to him.
The Rams have been a solid
team on occasion, but this year
they are expected to have their
struggles.
A struggling team to hurt
itself. That was Hazleton Area
in its 26-16 loss to Coughlin.
Quarterback Julius Ward had
two passes dropped that would
have been touchdowns, or at
the very least long gains. The
end result was the Cougars los-
ing their eighth in a row.
Unexpected
Holy Redeemer to run for
two touchdowns vs. Holy Cross.
The two scoring runs gave the
Royals three for the season.
They had just 11 all of last year,
with ve of them coming from
quarterback Jimmy Strickland.
GARs poor tackling.
Look, Dunmore running back
Daiqwon Buckley is a load to
bring down at 225 pounds. But
there were times Buckley made
it to the second level and the
Grenadiers had him surrounded
only to whiff on tackles. Other
times, the effort appeared lack-
ing.
Williamsports offense to
tank vs. Mifin County. The
Millionaires looked like they
were going to break out of their
slump after defeating 24-21 in
Week 1. But the offense took a
big step backward in the 25-0
loss to Mifin County.

WVc scheduLes and resuLTs
The Associated Press
ANNVILLE Police
have opened a criminal
investigation after a high
school football player
ripped the helmet off an
opposing player and beat
him over the head with it
during a game in central
Pennsylvania.
Video aired by WGAL-
TV shows Hamburg quar-
terback Joey Cominsky
tearing the helmet off
Annville-Cleona lineman
Josh Hartman, then hit-
ting him with it at least
twice, after a play in the
third quarter of Friday
nights game at Annville-
Cleona Secondary School
near Lebanon.
Several other players
pushed and shoved each
other, and Annville-Cleona
player Taylor Prentice
jumped in and threw sev-
eral punches, the video
shows.
Cominsky and Prentice
were ejected from the
game. Hartman suffered a
cut on top of his head but
was otherwise OK. Order
was restored and Hamburg
won the game 25-22.
The police investigation
will be a very lengthy pro-
cess, I can tell you that,
South Annville Township
police chief Ben Sutcliffe
told PennLive.com. It is
premature at this point to
say anything about charg-
es being led or not being
led.
Sutcliffe did not imme-
diately return a message
left Wednesday.
Hamburg Principal
Christopher J. Spohn
declined to say whether
any disciplinary action
will be taken against
Cominsky.
We followed our
board-approved policies
and procedures dealing
with this situation, Spohn
told the Reading Eagle.
Under PIAA rules,
Cominsky and Prentice
will miss the next game.
PIAA District 3 of-
cials said in a statement
that they are content for
now to allow the schools
to handle the matter
internally.
Football helmet incident
causes investigation
The Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. More than a
dozen Oklahoma State football players
admitted to academic misconduct over
the past decade, including receiving exam
answers in advance, passing classes for
little or no work and using tutors who com-
pleted work for them, according to a Sports
Illustrated article released Wednesday.
The philosophy, the main focus, was
to keep (top players) eligible through any
means necessary, former safety Fath
Carter told the magazine. The goal was
not to educate but to get them the passing
grades they needed to keep playing. Thats
the only thing it was about.
The article was the second of five planned
by Sports Illustrated looking at alleged mis-
conduct in the Oklahoma State football
program dating to 2001 under coaches Les
Miles and Mike Gundy. SI says it interviewed
more than 60 former players and found evi-
dence of potential NCAA violations includ-
ing boosters and assistant coaches paying
players thousands of dollars for their play;
sham jobs arranged by boosters; selective
enforcement of anti-drug policy for players;
and football program hostesses who had sex
with recruits.
Oklahoma State said it has notified the
NCAA about the allegations and launched
its own investigation.
The magazine named 13 former players
who said they had work done for them or
received other improper academic assis-
tance. One of them, former receiver Artrell
Woods, said he didnt write a single paper
during his three years at Oklahoma State
and simply typed what tutors dictated to
him.
Dez Bryant, a star receiver now with the
Dallas Cowboys, was named second-team
academic All-Big 12 in 2008. Former cor-
nerback Calvin Mickens and former safety
Victor Johnson both said they saw tutors
do coursework for Bryant, who denied the
claim to SI.
Miles, now the head coach at LSU, was
Oklahoma States coach beginning in 2001.
Gundy, his assistant, replaced him after the
2004 season and remains the head coach.
Miles said he repeatedly told players to
attend class and do the right things.
Every guy was encouraged to get his
degree, to stay the course, and to fight,
Miles said Wednesday on the SEC coaches
teleconference. He said those making the
allegations werent there long enough to
figure it out because they were dismissed
from the program.
I can tell you that staff, family and
friends, and anybody that sat in our meet-
ing rooms, knew that this thing was done
right, he said.
Former Oklahoma State quarterback
Brandon Weeden, now with the Cleveland
Browns, called the allegations comical
and said he did not see any wrongdoing
during his time at the Big 12 school.
First of all, clean slate, I didnt take any
money or do anything like that, Weeden
said. It all happened before I got there.
But the guys that they did question were
not very good sources to question because
they are kids that got kicked off the team
for drugs or for whatever it might be. They
were dismissed and so these are guys that
arent real credible.
Carter told SI a teammate introduced him
to Ronald Keys, an academic coordinator
for athletes from 1998 until 2001. Carter
said he and several other players would
visit Keys, drop off their assignments and
return a few days later to pick up the fin-
ished work.
I have no idea why he did it, Carter
said. All we knew was that if you wanted
a paper done, you called Keys. His name
was infamous.
Keys, now at Texas Southern, told the
magazine he never did work for athletes.
Terry Henley, an academic adviser for the
football program since 2000, said he didnt
know anything about Keys doing work for
athletes.
Several players said Henley steered them
toward potentially easier majors with the
goal of getting them passing grades.
What I do with degrees and scheduling,
I base it on aptitude, attitude, Henley told
SI. Now a guy may have wanted to be a
business major, but he cant get through a
math class. Thats a big reason why we dont
initially declare a major for a player. Id
love to tell every single one of them who
walks in that door, You go be what you said
you wanted to be, but at the same time Ive
got to look at aptitude, attitude and work
ethic.
Henley was also asked about players alle-
gations that a number of instructors handed
them passing grades for little or no work:
That was never brought to my attention,
but they wouldnt necessarily do that and,
number two, I dont have control over what
a professor does.

As he dashes through
the woods, most often lead-
ing the boys cross country
pack, Dominic DeLuca can
feel a crowd coming up fast.
First, theres Dominic
Hockenbury, his rival from
Lake-Lehman.
Then theres the
Tunkhannock team thats
ranked rst in the state
among PIAA Class 2A
schools.
And then theres an
always-challenging Holy
Redeemer team led by
Vinay Murthy.
No wonder he spent so
much time in the offseason
running like a deer.
Its a lot better to be the
hunter than the hunted,
said DeLuca, the leader of
defending District 2 cham-
pionDallas. Theres always
pressure - pressure from
kids from other teams as
well as on my team. They
depend on me.
For good reason.
DeLuca is the
states top returner
from last years PIAA
championships, where he
nished 11th in a time of
16:44.
Coaching him, I think
hes one of the top guys in
this country, Dallas coach
Matt Samuel said. Hes
really focused on doing well
(at states). Hes excited.
Now a senior, the Dallas
standout is trying to lead
the Mountaineers to a
second straight Class
2A Wyoming Valley
Conference title, among
other honors.
Its really pressure to be
a team that can possibly
win districts and be in the
state tournament, DeLuca
said.
That wont be easy.
Tunkhannock is ranked
as the states top pre-
season Class 2A team
by PennTrackXC, after
nishing fourth in the state
championships last season.
The Tigers are led by junior
Jack Tidball, who placed
30th in last years state
championship eld, along
with senior Ben Siegel
(49th) and Carson Ayers
and sophomore Jake
Toczko - who both nished
among the PIAAs top 136
boys.
And Holy Redeemer,
although hit hard by gradu-
ation, is traditionally a
strong challenge and has
Murthy back from his top-
150 state nish a year ago.
Some of the best
teams in the state in
double-A boys cross
country, Samuel said.
You have Holy Redeemer,
were a good team,
Tunkhannocks a good
team. Its a good, good con-
ference.
Best Ive ever seen on a
whole.
Some of the individual
battles could be even better.
Especially when DeLuca
gets in a eld that includes
Lehmans star sophomore
Hockenbury, debuted at
states with a 22nd-place
nish as a freshman last
season.
The two duked it out
again at the preseason
Cliff Robbins meet, where
DeLuca and Hockenbury
nished 1-2 in the high
school portion of the event.
Hes one of my
good friends, DeLuca
said. Its really fun to
compete against him. I
wouldnt consider it a
rivalry. Its more of a com-
petition. He hasnt gotten
me - yet. Thats really a
motivation, to keep con-
sistency with him. Hes
getting better, Im getting
better. Its denitely fun to
run against him.
For DeLuca, the real fun
may be just down the road.
Theres always
something to chase
after - district title,
medaling in states,
DeLuca said. I have a
couple personal goals.
Actually, competing at my
best, peaking at the end of
the season would be a big
one and something I want
to do.

TOM FOX
For The Times Leader
EXETER Playing on
the road is nothing new
to Tunkhannock, consid-
ering three of the Tigers
rst ve games have been
away from home.
Thats why it surprised
Mick Goodwin a little
when his squad struggled
in the rst set at Wyoming
Area last night.
Weve actually played
better on the road than we
have at home. We came
out a little at tonight,
he said.
The next three, though,
his girls returned back to
form.
Michelle Goodwin had
a team-high 12 kills, Erin
Smith did a nice job of dis-
tributing the ball and the
Tigers rebounded from
a sluggish start for a 3-1
win in Wyoming Valley
Conference volleyball.
Game scores were
17-25, 25-17, 25-17 and
27-25.
The win was the fourth
straight for Tunkhannock
(4-1) after a season-open-
ing, 3-2 loss to Nanticoke.
I give a lot of credit to
Wyoming Area, and we
were just a little at and
they caught us off-guard.
They played great, Mick
Goodwin said.
No doubt, the Warriors
(1-2) came out swinging.
In fact, it was nine
straight points on Audrey
Hiedacavages serve and
numerous big swings by
Samantha Acacio that
gave Wyoming Area a
13-4 lead in the opening
set.
Not a bad start for a
team lled with sopho-
mores looking to score a
conference upset.
It was the best game
weve had all year,
Wyoming Area rst-year
head coach Nick Diaco
said. The rst game was
exciting. Our blocks were
big. Our attacks were
big.
Thats when the alarm
clock sounded for the
Tigers.
We have some kids
that just dont like to lose,
and it woke them up. And
they pulled their team-
mates with them, coach
Goodwin said.
Credit senior setter
Smith, who did a great job
of spreading the offense
around in the nal three
periods.
She set ve differ-
ent attackers in the sec-
ond set, and helped out
Tunkhannocks cause in
the third, racking up two
of her three aces.
Tunkhannock closed
the second set on an 11-5,
taking advantage of six
Wyoming Area hitting
errors, and pulled out on
a 14-5 run in the third.
I try to get it to dif-
ferent people because it
gives the defense different
looks, said Smith, who
nished with a game-high
21 assists. You just cant
key on one set formation
that way. I think we did a
good job of spreading the
ball around.
Wyoming Area (1-3)
jumped out to another
large lead in the nal
stanza, 16-9, only to see
Tunkhannock answer
with a 12-6 run, knotting
the score at 22.
The Tigers fought off
two set points, and ended
the match on a Sommer
Gaydos kill and a game-
ending ace.
Its always nice to get a
road win, Mick Goodwin
said. I would like to see
a little more offense out
of the middle. They did
a great job in that rst
game of taking away our
primary source of points
with our outsides. We
made some lineup adjust-
ments that kept them off
their game.
Acacio nished with a
game-high 13 kills, while
Jessica Sorick added 10
kills for Wyoming Area.
Most of my team is
sophomores that played
junior varsity last year,
and its a big difference
jumping up to varsity,
Diaco said. We look for-
ward to teaching them
further. Im proud of the
effort each match.

PHILADELPHIA
Cliff Lee pitched eight
sharp innings and Freddy
Galvis had three hits to
lead the Philadelphia
Phillies to a 4-2 victory
over the San Diego Padres
on Wednesday night.
Lee (13-6) allowed two
runs and ve hits, struck
out nine and walked one.
It was the second straight
eight-inning outing and
fourth in the last six starts
for Lee, who pounded his
glove and skipped toward
the dugout after fanning
Jedd Gyorko to end the
eighth.
Gyorko and Tommy
Medica homered for the
Padres, who had won four
in a row. Medicas solo shot
in the fth was his rst hit
in his major league debut.
Jonathon Papelbon
pitched a scoreless ninth
for his 26th save in 33
chances.
Nationals 3, Mets 0
NEW YORK Dan
Haren pitched one-hit
ball for six innings, Ryan
Zimmerman homered and
the Washington Nationals
won their fth straight
game, beating the New
York Mets in a night full of
9/11 tributes.
Mets manager Terry
Collins wore an NYPD hat
during batting practice,
and there were several
remembrances on the eld,
on the scoreboard and over
the public-address system
of those affected by the ter-
ror attacks 12 years ago.
The Nationals improved
to 22-9 in their late charge
toward a playoff spot.
They remained six
games behind Cincinnati
for the nal NL wild-card
spot with only 17 to play.
Denard Span extended
his hitting streak to a
career-high 22 games and
Anthony Rendon added
a two-run double that
broke it open in the eighth
inning. Jayson Werth deliv-
ered another extra-base hit
and Bryce Harper beat out
an ineld hit after missing
four games because of a
sore left hip.
Reds 6, Cubs 0
CINCINNATI Devin
Mesoraco hit his rst home
run in more than a month
and Jack Hannahan added
his rst career pinch-hit
homer as Cincinnati avoid-
ed being swept by last-
place Chicago.
Mesoraco, hitless in his
previous 13 at bats, col-
lected three to lead the
Reds to their seventh win
on a 10-game home stand.
It included a 3-1 record
against St. Louis and
three-game sweep of NL
West Division-leading Los
Angeles.
Cincinnati went into
the game in third place in
the Central, three games
behind the division-leading
Cardinals and two behind
Pittsburgh.
Marlins 5, Braves 2
MIAMI In his sea-
son nale, Miami Marlins
rookie sensation Jose
Fernandez pitched seven
innings, hit his rst major-
league homer and engaged
in a standoff with the
annoyed Atlanta Braves
that cleared both benches
and bullpens.
When he had complet-
ed his eventful evening,
Fernandez slowly walked
off the mound one last
time, removing his cap
as the crowd gave him
a standing ovation. Two
relievers pitched the nal
two innings, and the woe-
ful Marlins beat the playoff-
bound Braves.
The game was the
last of the season for the
demonstrative 21-year-
old Fernandez because he
passed his 170-inning limit
set by the Marlins. A top
candidate for NL Rookie of
the Year, he nished 12-6
with an ERA of 2.19, sec-
ond-lowest in the majors
behind only the Dodgers
Clayton Kershaw.
Giants 4, Rockies 3
SAN FRANCISCO
Marco Scutaro and
Brandon Belt hit consecu-
tive RBI singles in the
eighth inning to help San
Francisco edge Colorado.
The Giants loaded the
bases with one out against
Matt Belisle (5-7), and
Scutaro followed with a
tying single into right eld.
Belts hit drove in Angel
Pagan and gave San
Francisco a 4-3 lead.
Guillermo Moscoso
(2-2) pitched two score-
less innings for the victory,
securing the rst winning
homestand for the Giants
since May 20-26. Santiago
Casilla nished for his sec-
ond save.
The Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG,
FLA. Mike Carp had
a pinch-hit grand slam
in the 10th inning and
the AL East-leading
Boston Red Sox beat the
Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 on
Wednesday night.
Carp sent a drive over
the center-eld fence
on the rst pitch from
Roberto Hernandez. It
was the rst pinch-hit
grand slam for Boston
since Kevin Millar hit one
at Milwaukee on June 7,
2003.
Dustin Pedroia opened
the 10th with a walk
against Joel Peralta (2-7)
and went to second on
Shane Victorinos bunt.
After David Ortiz was
intentionally walked,
Hernandez replaced
Peralta and walked Mike
Napoli on four pitches
before Carp connected for
his ninth homer.
Royals 6, Indians 2
CLEVELAND Alex
Gordon homered on the
games rst pitch, James
Shields dominated after
a shaky rst inning,
and Kansas City beat
Cleveland in a matchup
of teams ghting for an
American League playoff
spot.
Kansas City took two
of three in the series
between clubs that are
in contention for the
second wild card spot in
the AL. The Royals, who
entered Wednesday trail-
ing Tampa Bay by three
games, moved a game
closer to the Indians.
Cleveland was 1 games
behind the Rays.
The Royals had a home
run, a triple and a single
on the games rst seven
pitches to take a 2-0 lead.
Kansas City added a run
in the rst inning.
Angels 5, Blue Jays 4
TORONTO Kole
Calhoun hit a tiebreaking
sacrice y in the eighth
inning and C.J. Wilson
won his eighth straight
decision for Los Angeles.
Mark Trumbo hit a two-
run home run, his career-
high 33rd, and Josh
Hamilton had three hits
as the Angels won for the
ninth time in 12 meetings
with the Blue Jays.
Mike Trout drew a
one-out walk off Steve
Delabar (5-3) in the
eighth and went to third
on Hamiltons double.
Trumbo was intentionally
walked to load the bases
for Calhoun, who hit a
sacrice y to left.
Pirates 7, Rangers 5
ARLINGTON, Texas
Clint Barmes homered
and drew a bases-load-
ed walk for Pittsburgh,
which completed a three-
game sweep in an inter-
league matchup of wild-
card leaders with a vic-
tory over slumping Texas
Justin Morneau,
acquired from Minnesota
less than two weeks ago,
snapped an 0-for-14 slump
with four hits while scor-
ing twice. The Pirates
(84-61) moved within a
half-game of NL Central-
leading St. Louis.
Texas (81-63) has
dropped nine of its last
12, a stretch in which the
Rangers have lost four
consecutive series. They
have gone from a three-
game lead in the AL West
to 2 behind Oakland.
City aims to seize
bad mortgages
A San Francisco Bay Area city is mov-
ing ahead with its rst-in-the-nation plan
to use the governments constitutional
power of eminent domain to seize hun-
dreds of underwater mortgages.
The Richmond City Council voted 4-3
early Wednesday to set up a Joint Powers
Authority to bring more cities into the
plan. Mayor Gayle McLaughlin says the
city of El Monte in Southern California
has expressed interest, and she believes
other cities will follow.
Under the plan, Richmond would use
eminent domain to seize the underwater
mortgage. It would then offer the bank fair
market value for it and give the homeown-
er a new loan that would lower monthly
payments and improve the owners chanc-
es of staying.
Banks have led lawsuits to stop
Richmond fromgoing ahead.
Airways say govt
wrong about them
American Airlines and US Airways say
that the governments opposition to their
planned merger shows that it doesnt
understand the airline industry.
The airlines said in court lings late
Tuesdaythat theU.S. JusticeDepartments
analysis of the merger ignores competi-
tion that nowexists fromlow-cost carriers
such as Southwest. American says that the
government instead relies on anecdotes
involving small numbers of passengers
and an idealized but outdated vision of the
industry.
A trial on the governments lawsuit is
scheduledtobeginNov. 25inWashington.
The airlines raised familiar arguments
in the lings to support the merger. They
said that it would offer customers more
ight options and improve competition by
creating a stronger rival to the nations big-
gest carriers, United and Delta.
Economists back
Yellen for Fed
Morethan350economistshaveasigned
a letter to President Barack Obama calling
on him to nominate Federal Reserve Vice
Chair Janet Yellen to be the Feds next
chairman. The letter is designed to draw
attention back to Yellen amid signs that
Obama is leaning toward nominating his
former economic adviser Larry Summers.
The letter, whose signers include econo-
mists with past ties to Obama, credits
Yellen for prescience in warning in 2005
about an impending real estate meltdown,
for her consensus style of leadership and
for her commitment to job growth.
Obama is expected to announce his
nomination as early as this month. Fed
Chairman Ben Bernankes term ends Jan.
31, 2014.

IN BRIEF

NEW YORK Verizon
raised $49 billion on
Wednesday in the largest cor-
porate bond deal ever.
The sale dwarfs the pre-
vious record, Apples sale
of $17 billion in bonds in
April, and proceeds from the
sale on Wednesday will help
Verizon buy the rest of its
U.S. wireless business from
partner Vodafone.
That $130 billion buyout of
Vodafone is expected to rank
as the second-largest deal
when completed. Along with
the money from its bond sale,
Verizon will use cash and
stock to pay for the buyout.
Verizons bond sale was
huge in every way: The
offering is nearly triple
Apples sale. The debt will
come due at eight different
times, from three to 30 years.
Demand for the debt was
high, a sign that investors
are still interested in buying
higher-yielding bonds.
Despite the demand,
Verizon did have to pay a
hefty price to investors.
It priced $11 billion of its
10-year notes at a yield of
5.19 percent, according to
a deal document obtained
by The Associated Press.
That is well above the 4.51
percent yield for similar
bonds Verizon had issued
previously. Apple, a compa-
ny with near-pristine credit
and $147 billion in cash, is
paying investors who own its
10-year bonds a yield of 3.86
percent.
Verizon likely decided to
pay higher interest rates
because it needed to wrap up
its $130 billion buyout quick-
ly, bond investors said.
(The buyout) is a big
strategic deal for them and
they needed the money,
said Michael Collins, chief
investment ofcer of
Prudential Fixed Income,
who bought Verizon bonds
as part of Wednesdays sale.
Verizons massive bond
sale comes at a critical time
for bond investors. In June,
Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke said the
central bank was consid-
ering pulling back on its
bond-buying program, which
has kept interest rates at
historic lows in an effort to
stimulate the economy.
As a result, the yield of the
U.S. 10-year Treasury note,
the benchmark for all bonds
public and private, is at 2.96
percent, almost double the
1.63 percent yield from early
May.

CUPERTINO, Calif. Its
still ofcially summer, yet
major electronic companies
have already announced a slew
of holiday gift ideas: iPhones
of different colors, video game
players and a new category
of wristwatches designed to
mimic the functionality of
smartphones.
Much of the early attention
has been on smartwatches.
Although the devices have been
around for years, consumer
interest has been low. Samsung
Electronics Co. is hoping to
change that with its $300
Galaxy Gear. When its linked
wirelessly with newer Samsung
phones and tablets, the Gear
lets you set alarm clocks, check
email and Facebook updates,
and make phone calls on your
wrist, secret agent-style. The
watch will be available in a few
weeks in six colors.
That doesnt mean compa-
nies have given up on phones
and tablets, or other gadgets.
Heres a look at whats in
store.
PHONES
The iOS software that runs
iPhones is showing signs of
aging, so Apple is refresh-
ing its look and functionality.
Recent phones can get the
iOS 7 update for free, starting
Wednesday. The software also
comes with the new iPhones
going on sale on Sept. 20.
Apple is departing from its
practice of keeping choices
simple. In the past, Apple
released one iPhone a year, in
black or white. This time, the
company has a regular model,
the iPhone 5S (selling for $199
with a two-year service agree-
ment) and a less expensive
model, the iPhone 5C (which
goes for $99). The 5S comes in
three colors and the 5C in ve.
Samsung, meanwhile,
announced the Galaxy Note 3,
the latest phone in a line that
comes with a stylus for hand-
writing on its large, 5.7-inch
(measured on the diagonal)
touch screen. Sony will have
the Xperia Z1, notable for its
high-resolution, 20.7-mega-
pixel camera and the ability
to attach better lenses. Both
devices use Googles Android
operating system.
TABLETS
Tablets with screens that
measure about 7 inches diago-
nally are becoming popular
because theyre cheaper than
full-sized tablets and are easier
to carry around.
Google updated its Nexus
7 in July, offering the basic
model for $229. Amazon and
Apple will likely update their
devices, too. Meanwhile, sev-
eral companies are expected to
release smaller tablets running
Microsoft Corp.s Windows
8.1 operating system when the
software update comes out on
Oct. 17.
GAME MACHINES
Many people have shifted
to smartphones and tablets to
play games, but hard-core gam-
ers still like standalone video
game consoles.
Microsofts Xbox One wants
to be the all-in-one device that
lets you watch television, play
movies, listen to music and
browse the Internet as well
as play video games. It will
start selling on Nov. 22 and cost
$499. A Kinect motion-control
system will be included.
Sonys PlayStation 4 is com-
ing out Nov. 15 for $399. Its
touted as a supercharged PC,
which should make it easier for
developers to create games for
it.

FRANKFURT, Germany
Judging by the slew of
electric and hybrid vehi-
cles being rolled out at the
Frankfurt Auto Show, it
might seem carmakers are
tapping a large and eager
market.
But in fact almost no one
buys such cars yet.
More and more automak-
ers are coming out with elec-
tric versions of existing vehi-
cles such as Volkswagens
all-electric versions of its Up!
city car and Golf compact
or ones they have designed
as electrics from the ground
up, like small BMWs electric
city car i3.
Analyst Christoph
Stuermer at IHS automotive
called Frankfurt the rst
full-throttle electric propul-
sion show thats about get-
ting electric drive cars out
of the eco-nerd, tree-hugger
segment and into the cool
group.
To whet appetites, auto-
makers are making high-per-
formance, luxury versions
that give up little or nothing
in performance to conven-
tional models. BMWs i8
goes 0-62 mph in a speedy
4.5 seconds. Audis Quattro
sport concept meaning
its for demonstration, not
for sale is an aggressive
looking sports car with large
air intakes anking the grille
and a whopping 700 horse-
power from its hybrid drive.
The company says it can
reach 190 mph.
The Mercedes S-Class
plug-in hybrid version, mean-
while, has a powerful six-
cylinder internal combustion
engine plus an all-electric
range of about 20 miles. This
way, owners could commute
all-electric during the week,
recharging overnight but
use the gasoline engine on
a family vacation. The com-
pany says mileage is 78 miles
per gallon.
All this, to cater to a mar-
ket that doesnt really exist
in mass terms. Only 0.2 per-
cent of all cars registered in
Europe are hybrids, which
combine batteries with inter-
nal combustion engines, or
electrics, according to the
ACEA European automakers
association. In the United
States, the Toyota Prius
hybrid has broken into the
top 10 selling passenger cars.
However, electric vehicles
have struggled to increase
sales numbers because of
high prices and so-called
range anxiety: buyers fear of
running out of power.
Analysts and executives
say there are several solid
reasons to make and pro-
mote such cars now. They
can help lower average eet
emissions to meet govern-
ment requirements in
Europe, offsetting increasing
sales of conventionally pow-
ered SUVs. And automak-
ers want to be ready in case
governments perhaps in
heavily polluted China
push people into emission-
free vehicles.

FORT WORTH, Texas
Carson Huey-You wears his pur-
ple TCU Pride T-shirt with the
same ease that he wears a grin.
Carson started college last
month, one of the 1,935 rst-year
students tallied on the rst day of
classes at TCU.
Like many college freshmen,
Carson entered his new sur-
roundings hoping to get good
grades and make new friends. He
also emphasized that he doesnt
want to get lost on the TCU cam-
pus.
Unlike most college freshmen,
Carson is 11.
I am studying physics, he
said. Thats my major.
Specically, he wants to be a
quantum physicist, but rst he
has to get through a rst semes-
ter complete with calculus, phys-
ics, history and religion. (Thats a
typical course load for students
majoring in physics at TCU.)
Classes got off to a good start,
he said. Still, he got some atten-
tion when he walked into his
classes.
People denitely noticed,
Carson said. There was denite-
ly some whispering in the back of
the class.
The youngest student attend-
ing TCU, Carson shrugs off the
attention with a smile. He said
hes used to it. He was 5 in the
eighth grade. He graduated in
May from the Accommodated
Learning Academy in Grapevine,
Texas, where he was co-valedicto-
rian at age 10.
It was actually fun graduat-
ing, he said.
Carson was reading chap-
ter books by age 2, his mother,
Claretta Huey-You, said. Numbers
and math simply came easy for
him, she said. And he speaks
Mandarin Chinese.
Carson has been starting his
college days at 6:30 a.m. in his
Southlake, Texas, home where
his mother helps him and young-
er brother, Cannan, 7, get ready
each morning.
Cannan also has an afnity
for math and science and is test-
ing at an eighth-grade level even
though he is in the second grade
in Southlake, Huey-You said.
After dropping Cannan off at
school, Huey-You drives Carson
tothe TCUcampus andhelps him
get around campus. The 4-foot-7,
75-pound tween often nds that
his backpack is too heavy for him
to carry far.
It weighs more than he does,
Huey-You said.
Mother and son spent many
hours trying to gure out which
college Carson should attend.
They considered several, but
decided TCU was a good t with
a strong physics program. The
school also gave Carson a scholar-
ship and a nancial aid package.
C. Magnus L. Rittby, senior
associate dean for administra-
tion and graduate programs
in the College of Science &
Engineering, said the school
put together a group Team
Carson, if you will of faculty
and representatives from other
areas of campus life to work
out any issues related to having
Carson on campus.
Rittby said one issue was mak-
ing sure Carson would t and
be comfortable in school labs.
He was also connected with the
undergraduate chemistry club,
which met for the rst time this
week.
Rittby, Carsons academic
adviser, wrote to his professors
to let themknowa young student
would be entering their class-
rooms.
We are trying to help make a
good place for him here, Rittby
said.
Before Carson, TCUs young-
est student was piano prodigy
Sam Hong, who entered at 12 in
2006 and graduated in 2011 with
a bachelors degree in piano per-
formance.
As it happens, Carson has been
playing the piano for about 2-plus
years, he said. He taught himself
at rst.
Id actually heard about the
piano and math, he said. They
can relate and coincide with each
other.
Carson has time to just be a
kid. He is a Star Wars fan, with
Episodes 3, 5 and 6 ranking high
as favorites. He likes to play a
video game called Mine Craft
in which he builds things using
only cubes.
What about the other interests
of a typical 11-year-old?
Im not really an athletic kind
of guy other than checkers and
chess, he said with a grin.
One very tall TCU football
player jokingly promised that if
Carson tackled him, he would
land an automatic spot on the
football team.
Word is spreading across cam-
pus about the 11-year-old physics
major.
I was shocked when I rst
heard it, said KeArrius Brunson,
an 18-year-old freshman from
Dallas. Brunson said he expects
Carson will be treated just like
any other student.
We are all Frogs onthe inside,
Brunson said.

Teen moms
look for love,
fnd struggle
AKRON, Ohio The sweet-faced girls
sat around a conference table munching on
Chicken McNuggets and fries. They could
have been with friends hanging out at a shop-
ping malls food court or eating lunch in a
school cafeteria. Instead, they had gathered
to talk about sippy cups, their boyfriends and
what it was like to have a child.
The number of teenage girls having babies
has come down in recent years, but theres still
a staggering number who, instead of going to
a school dance, are stuck at home changing
diapers and breast feeding. In fact, the teenage
birth rate in the United States continues to be
higher than that of other developed countries.
This group, facilitated by researcher Alice
Rodgers of Rodgers Marketing Research, dis-
cussed what its like to be a child with a
child.
They were granted anonymity to allow for
an open conversation about personal experi-
ences and feelings.
Since he came to me at the age of 14, I
was happy because Id always have somebody
that would always love me, said a 19-year-old
about her son. No matter what. Somebody
who will always be by my side, who will
always love me who wont walk out of my life
or nothing like that.
Karen Freeman, director of the Teen Moms

ally try to get pregnant. Instead, they like the
attention they get from boys.

Meditation has gone mainstream
MINNEAPOLIS
When the Rev. Ron Moor
began meditating 30 years
ago, he did so in secret.
When I started, medi-
tation was a dirty word,
said Moor, pastor of
Spirit United Church in
Minneapolis. (Evangelist)
Jimmy Swaggart called
it the work of the devil.
Because of its basis in
Eastern religions, fun-
damentalists considered
it satanic. Now those
same fundamentalists are
embracing it. And every
class I teach includes at
least a brief meditation.
The faith community isnt
alone in changing its atti-
tude. Businesses, schools
and hospitals not only have
become more accepting of
meditation, but many offer
classes on it. Meditating
has gone mainstream.
Why? Because it works,
Moor said.
Adherents have been say-
ing that for centuries, of
course, but now theres a
difference: Scientists can
prove it.
Propelled by technologi-
cal breakthroughs in neuro-
science enabling research-
ers to monitor brain activ-
ity, the medical community
is awash in studies showing
that meditating has bene-
cial physical effects on the
brain. Those studies are
being joined by others dem-
onstrating that advantages
include everything from
raising the effectiveness
of u vaccines to lowering
rejection rates for organ
transplants.
Meditation has become
a huge topic in medi-
cal circles, said Dr. Selma
Sroka, medical director
of the Hennepin County
Medical Center Alternative
Medicine Clinic. The
health benets are so
strong that if nothing else,
people should learn the
relaxation techniques.
The practice is being
embraced by an audience
that isnt interested in its
religious contexts, typi-
cally Buddhist or Hindu,
but is fascinated by its
mechanics and techniques.
Sroka compared the Wests
co-opting of meditation to
what happened to yoga,
which came to this country
as a spiritual discipline and
has morphed into a form of
physical tness.
Some would-be medita-
tors opt simply to ignore
the religious element, said
Mark Nunberg, co-found-
er of Common Ground
Meditation Center in
Minneapolis. Although his
center is a Buddhist orga-
nization, at least half the
people who enroll in class-
es are there just for instruc-
tion in meditation, he said.
Its the same practice
whether it involves reli-
gion or not, he said. Its
training the mind to be in
the present moment in a
relaxed way. Its the most
practical thing in the world;
some might even say its
just common sense.
Whats in a name?
You dont have to call it
meditation. In fact, Sroka
said, a lot of people would
prefer that you dont.
Terms such as mindful-
ness stress reduction and
relaxation response are
less threatening to some
folks. They also make it
easier to introduce the
practice in ofces and
schools, where even a tan-
gential reference to religion
can raise red ags.
Since 2001, doctors
doing their residencies in
the alternative-medicine
clinics family medicine pro-
gram have been required to
take a class in meditation,
not necessarily to pass on
the information to their
patients though they are
encouraged to do so, Sroka
said so much as to help
them deal with the stress of
their jobs. At rst, the pro-
gram ran into resistance.
Then the hospital quit call-
ing it meditation.
I think a lot of it is in
the language, she said.
Because of meditations
association with Eastern
religions, members of
other religions often are
uncomfortable with the
term. People want to know
that Im not selling them a
religion.

give it up (have sex) and
end up pregnant, she said.
And once they get preg-
nant, Freeman added, the
girls fantasize that their
babys father will stick
around.
The ultimate thing is
that the boys make them
feel like they are loved,
Freeman said.
I think thats called men-
tal abuse because they sit
there and tell you what you
want to hear and theyre like
messing with your mind
one of the teenagers said.
With the exception of
the 19-year-old, all of the
girls around the table at the
University of Akron were
single.
They grumbled about
how their baby daddies
often denied fatherhood,
and they referred to guys
who just want to get into
girls pants as dogs.
Some maintained that
their childs father neglected
to divulge that they already
had babies with other
women. One of the teen
moms, for instance, gave
birth to an infant whose
father had four children by
the time he was 18. I dont
get along with my baby
dad, one of the girls said,
probably because he has so
many kids.
And at least a couple
often showed great immatu-
rity by ip-opping on feel-
ings about the father.
My baby daddy, hes a
very caring person. I plan
on marrying him in about
three years, and we kind of
set a date. Its December
of 2015, said a talkative
14-year-old who maintained
that her boyfriend planned
on playing basketball with
an NBA team someday.
But Im not sure exactly
how its going to work out.
He does have two kids. He
has my son and another.
And he does a lot for his
other son. Our relationship
isnt so strong because he
has another son.
Freeman joked that she
needs a chart to follow the
girls often immature love-
hate relationships.
They will cuss them out
one side and the other
and the next thing theyre
writing on Facebook that
they love their boys, she
said.
Despite all the drama,
Freeman added, all the girls
dreamof a loving home with
a white picket fence.
Still, during the two-hour
discussion, it became clear
that the girls were anything
but all sugar and spice.
When the discussion veered
toward what they would
have done, or would do, if
they caught their boyfriends
in the arms of another
woman, most didnt mince
words.
He knows I would have
shot his (penis) off, boast-
ed one of the teens.
Another said she told
her babys father that she
planned to carve her name
into his neck.
So if he tried to sleep
with another woman, they
would know that he was
owned, she said, with a
chuckle.
After a baby is born, its
common for some families
with whom Freeman is
familiar to get into a public
debate when things go awry.
During a recent visit with
Freeman, whose ofce is
decorated with pictures of
some of the girls babies, she
turned to her laptop com-
puter and noted the heated,
often vulgar, public argu-
ment taking place between
the families of a young
mother and her boyfriend
on Facebook.
Its been ingrained in
these girls that they dont
give up their baby unless
it is to family, Freeman
said.
Because?
Its blood, she added.
You play, you pay. Thats
just the consequence of the
lifestyle theyve been living,
and if they have a kid thats
just what happens.
Kathy Royer, clinical
nurse psychiatrist with 4
Kid Help Center for Child
& Adolescent Psychiatry in
North Canton, Ohio, used
to work with teens in a fam-
ily planning clinic.
Its a generational cycle,
she said. Too many girls
start having sex young
because they wanted to
know what it was like. Sex
is just something they do.
Its like breathing or eating a
hamburger.
Indeed, one of the girls
in the Beacons focus group
was 14 born to a mother
who was also pregnant with
her at age 14 a grand-
mother before she turned
30.
Still, not all of the girls
followed in their parents
footsteps.
I got pregnant my senior
year. For me, I gave up. I felt
like once my mom told me,
Oh, youre disgusting, youll
never be anything, youve
ruined your life, I stopped
trying for school, said the
adopted teen. I mean I still
graduated with a 3.6, but I
didnt try to get in any major
colleges, no scholarships.
They had so many high
expectations. I was always
on top did everything
right, sports and my grades
and everything else. And
once that (pregnancy) hap-
pened, my whole family
stopped talking to me.
Some 41 percent of
todays births are to single
women. Fifty years ago, it
was ve percent, reports the
Pew Research Center.
We have such a cultural
acceptance now of unmar-
ried parenting, explained
Cheryl Biddle, director of
Alliance for Healthy Youth
in Akron. One of the con-
cerns I have is children in
poverty. Unfortunately, that
is one of the outcomes of
unmarried, single moms.
Today, the children of
single moms are four times
more likely to be poor,
Biddle added.
The 19-year-old said she
has been struggling with
homelessness since the
birth of her child ve
years ago.
I was in a situation
where I had nowhere to go,
nowhere to live, had a child
were (including husband
and child) staying with our
friends now, she offered.
They alluded to issues of
homelessness and money
during the focus group ses-
sion. Certainly, government
assistance is something that
these women count on to
clothe, feed and house their
children.
Freeman understands
why people get incensed
when teen moms, who dont
have a family who can nan-
cially support them, are
forced to use tax money to
survive.
People get irate. Its
because they are support-
ing someone (through their
taxes), she said.
Still, she doesnt think
the girls intentionally get
pregnant just to collect
assistance. Instead, its just
something that happens.
Because, of the cycles
and the communities of
poverty in which many live,
its just a given if a girl gets
pregnant she will get hous-
ing, grocery money and a
subsidy check, Freeman
added. Again, I dont think
its intentional but there
are no negatives for them.
The scientic com-
munitys interest in
meditation springs from
tests in which electrodes
attached to subjects
heads show their brains
calming down during
meditation, lowering
stress levels and increas-
ing the ability to focus.
The tests are gener-
ating so much interest
that leading experts
have almost become
rock stars. In October,
1,200 people turned
out for a lecture by Dr.
Richard Davidson at the
University of Minnesotas
Center for Spirituality
and Healing. Davidson
is a professor at the
University of Wisconsin
who has been on the cut-
ting edge of using neuro-
science to monitor medi-
tation-induced changes in
the brain.
He is convinced that
the brain can be trained
to deal with stress the
same way a muscle can
be conditioned to lift a
heavy weight.

The networks go nuts for fall
The operative word
for the fall TV season is
crazy. We even have
a comedy with crazy
in the title, which oddly
enough isnt crazy at all.
With cable taking
more and more viewers,
the broadcast networks
(except rock-solid CBS)
dont feel inclined to play
it entirely safe. So they
continue to go out on
limbs that could break
under them. Some of
these risky ventures are
among the most inter-
esting new shows of the
year.
Here, ranked from best
to worst, are the network
series debuting for fall
2013. Four stars means
perfect and three and a
half almost perfect, and
no show achieved those.
Three stars means very
good, with lots of prom-
ise. Two and a half stars
is better than average,
and two stars is average.
Below two stars means
dont waste your time.
SLEEPY HOLLOW,
FOX, 9 P.M. MONDAYS
(SEPT. 16) 3 STARS
My favorite new drama
is crazy, scary and crazy-
scary, but it also brings
us the best new buddy
relationship of the sea-
son. Tom Mison is
Ichabod Crane, but the
Washington Irving char-
acter is reimagined as a
British redcoat, buried
since the Revolutionary
War. Now hes awake and
understandably confused.
Nicole Beharie is the cop
whos the only one to
believe him, even after an
also-awakened Headless
Horseman begins dealing
out decapitations.
Brooklyn Nine-
Nine, Fox, 8:30 p.m.
Tuesdays (Sept. 17) 3
stars
The best new comedy
of the season is smart
and just silly enough.
Andy Samberg is a detec-
tive who relaxes with
crazy pranks, especially
directed at his main
rival, played by Melissa
Fumero. But theyre both
excellent cops, which
wins Sambergs character
a margin of slack from his
new boss, played straight-
faced by Andre Braugher.
Marvels Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D., ABC, 8
p.m. Tuesdays (Sept.
24) 3 stars
No matter what you
might or might not know
about the Marvel universe
and The Avengers, this
action-fantasy- dramedy
from Joss Whedons
company is a lot of fun.
Rather than superheroes,
the protagonists form a
team dedicated to saving
the world from mysteri-
ous threats.
The Blacklist, NBC,
10 p.m. Mondays (Sept.
23) 3 stars
Strange and yet com-
pelling, this thriller with
Silence of the Lambs
(and thus Hannibal)
overtones stars James
Spader as a creepy super-
criminal who promises to
help the FBI catch other
bad guys, but only if he
can work with a brand-
new FBI agent played by
Megan Boone.
Almost Human,
Fox, 8 p.m. Mondays
(Nov. 4) 2 1/2 stars
Karl Urban is a future
cop coming back from a
catastrophic injury, and
Michael Ealy is his sym-
pathetic android partner
in a slick-looking sci-
drama from J.H. Wyman
(Fringe).
The Michael J. Fox
Show, NBC, 9:30 p.m.
Thursdays (two epi-
sodes air at 9 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 26) 2
1/2 stars
We love Michael J. Fox;
we love the fact that hes
feeling up to series TV
again and that hes willing
to poke fun at himself and
his Parkinsons disease.
And even though most
of us wont love the show
based on the pilot, well
cut it some slack.
Lucky 7, ABC, 10
p.m. Tuesdays (Sept.
24) 2 1/2 stars
In a drama based on a
British series, service-
station employees nally
hit the lottery jackpot,
resulting in a lot of life
changes. Matt Long and
Isiah Whitlock Jr. are the
most familiar faces. The
pilot stupidly starts in
the middle of the action,
but once it settles down,
Lucky 7 shows promise.
The Crazy Ones,
CBS, 9 p.m. Thursdays
(Sept. 26) 2 1/2 stars
Robin Williams returns
to series TV as an eccen-
tric ad man who works
with his two kids, strait-
laced daughter Sarah
Michelle Gellar and
charming son James
Wolk. Williams reins in
his zany humor enough
to keep the show from
imploding.
The Millers, CBS,
8:30 p.m. Thursdays
(Oct. 3) 2 1/2 stars
Will Arnett as a newly
divorced guy plays
straight man to his par-
ents (Margo Martindale
and Beau Bridges) in a
sitcom from Greg Garcia.
One of the funniest of
the new seasons com-
edies, The Millers is
also unfortunately heavy
on body-function humor,
largely at Martindales
expense.
Trophy Wife, ABC,
9:30 p.m. Tuesdays
(Sept. 24) 2 stars
Hate the title; kind
of like the show. Malin
Akerman is the third wife
of Bradley Whitford, who
with marriage inherited
not just his kids but his
rst two exes, played by
Michaela Watkins and
Marcia Gay Harden. Its
a modern kind of family,
and it could work.
Betrayal, ABC, 10
p.m. Sundays (Sept. 29)
2 stars
Two pretty people mar-
ried to two other pretty
people fall hard, cheat
and then things get
messy. This soapy drama,
starring Stuart Townsend
and Hannah Ware,
would like to be the next
Revenge, or better yet,
Scandal.
The Goldbergs,
ABC, 9 p.m. Tuesdays
(Sept. 24) 2 stars
Adam Goldberg was a
nerdy, lm-obsessed kid
who turned his 1980s
family into a home-
grown sitcom. Now hes
turned that true story
into an actual sitcom,
with Jeff Garlin and
Wendi McLendon-Covey
as the parents of three
(Goldberg has turned
one brother into a sister)
and George Segal as the
slightly daft grandpa.
Hostages, CBS, 10
p.m. Mondays (Sept.
23) 2 stars
Dylan McDermott
wants doctor Toni
Collette to kill the presi-
dent in this grim, convo-
luted thriller, intended for
a limited run (but with a
second season possible).

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I have
four siblings. We get
along fine as long as
were apart.
During Moms
and Dads funerals, I
was dismayed at the
degree of tension and
bickering among us. I am now deal-
ing with an incurable illness that will
shorten my life considerably. I have
no desire to put my husband through
a funeral hosting a family who never
liked him. I prefer to be cremated,
and a handwritten letter be sent to
each of my siblings after the fact.
Is this selfish? I dont want people
saying things they dont sincerely
mean. My letter will not be accusato-
ry, nor will it rake up long-ago hurts. I
just want them to know that my hus-
band has carried out my wishes and
they should not blame him for doing
so. Any thoughts?
Keeping It Simple
Dear Keeping It Simple: I dont
think your wishes are selfish. Youre
entitled to exit the stage of life in
the manner you choose. Because you
prefer to bid your siblings goodbye
in handwritten letters, go ahead and
do it.
If I have any advice to offer it is
that your husband should continue
to maintain a healthy distance from
your siblings after your death. Its not
unusual for survivors to react with
anger after a death, and your hus-
band should not take it personally if
they do.
Dear Abby: My daughter rents a
second-floor apartment with her two
little girls. The tenant on the first
floor is on oxygen and smokes ciga-
rettes. I am concerned about the risk
of an explosion that could injure my
family upstairs.
My daughter would like to move,
but her lease wont be up until Janu-
ary. What should we do? I dont be-
lieve she can afford a lawyer unless
legal aid is available to her. I find the
situation scary.
Worried in Ohio
Dear Worried: I find it scary, too. Has
your daughter discussed this with
the manager of the building? If she
hasnt, she should, and the conversa-
tion should be documented. An explo-
sion could harm more neighbors than
just her and her children.
If the manager cant compel the
smoker to stop, then your daughter
should move because the tenant
downstairs is a ticking time bomb.
Dear Abby: My aunt Stacey has
what they call salt-and-pepper-colored
hair. We have suggested many times
that she dye it, but she doesnt want
to have to keep up with it. Recently,
someone asked her 14-year-old daugh-
ter if that was her grandmother!
Aunt Stacey will be coming for a
visit soon and we want to surprise
her with a hair dye. How should we
go about it?
Kristy in New Jersey
Dear Kristy: Dont do it, or the peo-
ple who get surprised could be you
and whoever else has concocted this
hair-brained scheme. Not all women
want to color their hair. Some would
prefer to avoid the expense, and oth-
ers become allergic to the hair dye.
My advice is to appreciate your aunt
for the person she is and forget about
trying to change her image.
DEAR ABBY

To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Everything has its time. The
object that is coveted, revered
and utterly reflective of this
moment will lose value after this
moment has passed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your
cells regenerate, and your spirit
restores. Its like youre becoming
younger with every hour today,
and you dont have to make any
kind of effort to do so. Youre
naturally optimistic.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People
who arent sure whether they
can help you or not will be
reserved until they determine
exactly how they can be of ser-
vice. Make it easy. Talk about
what will move you forward.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your
weaknesses are offset by your
considerable strengths. But just
think about what you could do in
a partnership with someone who
is strong in the areas where you
are weak. Seek collaboration.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Giving is not
always a sacrifice. Being gener-
ous has a way of exhilarating
you, especially when you see the
difference your contributions
make in the lives of others.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Strip
away some of what you were
taught. Its not that the lessons
were wrong or inferior; its just
that they were given to you from
someone elses experience.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No one
can give you more time, but peo-
ple can sure help you waste the
time you have. Actively guard
against distractions. Anticipate
what could happen to knock you
off your game, and prepare a
defense.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
be working by yourself. This
scenario makes it challenging to
know how you compare to oth-
ers in the marketplace. Ask both
insiders and outsiders their opin-
ion. Get another point of view.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If
you follow your whimsy, it might
be considered lollygagging. It
might also lead to enormous joy.
If you have fun with what youre
doing, youll find success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
dont want to put your signature
on your work; you want your
work to be your signature. When
people can tell its your work
by the work itself, youll have
reached the level of originality
you desire.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love
is a bit of an obstacle course
these days, and you may find
yourself tunneling under or scal-
ing over enormous barriers to
emotional intimacy.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Lie
detectors are designed on the
premise that dishonesty causes
bodily stress. Youll take some of
the pressure off by getting rid
of the expectation or rule that is
keeping people from telling the
truth.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 12).
You bring self-care to a new
level this year, and this favorably
affects everyone. An investment
will pay in five weeks. October
shakes up relationships and
sets you on a more pleasurable
course. Make the most of educa-
tional opportunities in November
and July. Capricorn and Virgo
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 44, 2, 14, 38 and 5.
