WASHINGTON In his rst
direct comments about the Syrian
crisis, President Barack Obama said
Wednesday that his government has
concluded Syrian President Bashar
Assads regime is responsible for a
large-scale chemical weapons attack
that killed civilians but that hes not
yet decided how to respond to a
breach he said demands international
consequences.
Obama told PBS NewsHour that
hes received options from the military
and consulted with his national secu-
rity team but hasnt yet reached a deci-
sion. Still, he added, We do have to
make sure that when countries break
international norms on weapons like
chemical weapons that could threaten
us, that theyre held accountable.
WILKES-BARRE Its a
familiar story.
A violent crime rocks
Sherman Hills. Residents
and community leaders ask
what can be done to crack
down on lawlessness at the
privately owned apartment
complex off Coal Street.
That is the scenario once
again this week, following
a Saturday shooting that
left two girls, ages 5 and 2,
injured. This time, city of-
cials held talks with complex
management.
What safety measures will
be taken following the inci-
dent, and the talks? What
can be done? What will be
done? Those closest to the
situation arent saying.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton and city ofcials
met with Sherman Hills
management on Tuesday to
recommend measures that
will improve the security
conditions of the complex,
city spokeswoman Liza
Prokop said in an email.
Details were not disclosed.
A woman who answered
the telephone at Sherman
Hills ofces Wednesday
said she would relay a mes-
sage to the manager that a
reporter wanted to speak
about the Tuesday meeting
and what changes might be
implemented as a result.
That call was not returned.
Eliminate federal fund-
ing?
The Times Leader was
able to put one popularly
discussed solution into bet-
ter context Wednesday:
Simply eliminating federal
Department of Housing and
Urban Development fund-
ing to the complex isnt an
option.
Thats because the agency
doesnt directly fund the pri-
vate development, according
to Lisa Wolfe, spokeswoman
for HUDs regional ofce in
Philadelphia. Instead, HUD
subsidizes individual ten-
ants rents, Wolfe explained.
Of 344 units at Sherman
Hills, 341 currently are
home to HUD-subsidized
residents, she said.

WASHINGTON Standing on hal-
lowed ground of the civil rights movement,
President Barack Obama challenged new
generations Wednesday to seize the cause
of racial equality and honor the glorious
patriots who marched a half century ago
to the very steps from which Rev. Martin
Luther King spoke during the March on
Washington.
In a moment rich with history and sym-
bolism, tens of thousands of Americans of
all backgrounds and colors thronged to the
National Mall to join the nations rst black
president and civil rights pioneers in mark-
ing the 50th anniversary of Kings I Have a
Dream speech. Obama urged each of them
to become a modern-day marcher for eco-
nomic justice and racial harmony.
The arc of the moral universe may bend
toward justice but it doesnt bend on its
own, Obama said, in an allusion to Kings
own message.
His speech was the culmination of daylong
celebration of Kings legacy that began with
marchers walking the streets of Washington
behind a replica of the transit bus that Rosa
Parks once rode when she refused to give up
her seat to a white man.
At precisely 3 p.m., members of the King
family tolled a bell to echo Kings call 50
years earlier to let freedom ring. It was
the same bell that once hung in the 16th
Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala.,

A Pittston man was discharged
Wednesday from Lehigh Valley
Hospital near Allentown, less than
24hours after a 17-tonconcrete slab
overhang fell onto a truck he was
driving near Stroudsburg.
Edward Joseph Shucosky Jr.,
36, said hes lucky to be alive and
to have escaped serious injury. He
spent more than an hour trapped in
the drivers seat in a bucket truck he
was driving for Wyoming Electric
and Signal of Exeter. The truck is
owned by Kuharchick Construction
of Exeter.
Im really lucky considering the
pictures that I saw, he said.
Why the slab fell is being inves-
tigated by Stroud Area Regional
Police Departments Accident
Reconstruction team. But Shucosky
saidhes pretty sure his bucket truck
did not come into contact with the
overhang, until it fell onto it where
the windshield meets the hood.
I just heard a big crash, said
Shucosky. And then the waiting
game began. He sat, pinned behind
the Fordtrucks dashboard, as emer-
gencyresponders workedtoremove
the slab and then extract him.
According to police, the concrete
slab was about 48 feet long and 12
feet wide.
While stuck in the truck less than
90 minutes, he said time seemed
to move slowly as he could only
sit there hearing the sounds of the
machines and watching what was
going on. His father, EdwardJoseph
Shucosky Sr. of Harding, was also
with the 15-man work crew that
was on the site handling a town-
ship-wide trafc signaling project.
He was among those watching and
waiting.
It felt like forever, Shucosky
said. It was insane.
Although he was airlifted to
Lehigh Valleys trauma unit, the
injuries turned out to be non-life
threatening. In fact, all he sustained
was a sprained ankle.
I dont know how. A few sec-
onds later and it could have been a
lot worse, said the married father
of two.
Rob Bresnahan, the chief
nancial ofcer for Kuharchick
Construction, called the timing of
the slab falling very fortuitous.
He also said that being in a bucket
truck likely helpeddecrease damage
to Shucosky.
While police do their investiga-
tion, Bresnahansaidthe company is
also anxiously awaiting the results
to see just what happened.
Because the incident occurred
in a bank-drive through lane, said
Bresnahan, security cameras should
provide evidence about what hap-
pened. In the meantime, he said,
bothcompaniesarehappyShucosky
is alive and mainly unscathed.
Its unfathomable, really,
Bresnahan said.

WILKES-BARRE An Avoca man charged with
sexually assaulting two teenage girls was sentenced
Tuesday to 22 to 44 months in state prison as well as
two years of special probation.
Anthony Veina, 24, of Main Street, was sentenced
on charges of aggravated indecent assault and inde-
cent assault. Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni
ordered Veina to have no unsupervised contact with
minors and to comply with sex offender treatment.
Veina pleaded guilty to the charges in March.
Veina will be required to register his address under
Megans Law for his entire life and must undergo an
evaluation by the state Sexual Offenders Assessment
Board.
According to court papers, police said they were
notied in August 2012 that Veina was involved in
inappropriate behavior with two girls, ages 13 and 14.
WILKES-BARRE A city man serving 14 years of
probation on possession of child pornography charges
violated the terms of his probation, according to court
papers led Tuesday.
Gregory Fann, 50, of Maple Lane, was sentenced in
September 2012 to the lengthy probationary termafter
pleading guilty to six counts of possession of child por-
nography. Fann was charged after police searched his
home in connection with homicide charges his son,
Gregory Fann Jr., faced in 2008.
The elder Fann allegedly violated two prongs of his
sentence: He left the state of Pennsylvania and had
unsupervised contact with minors, according to the
probation violation led Tuesday. Fann went to New
Jersey for the weekend of Aug. 9 and had unsupervised
contact with his granddaughter, according to the l-
ing.
A hearing on the matter was scheduled for Sept. 12.
WILKES-BARRE A Hazleton man charged with
taking several items from three area stores and with
a long history of committing retail theft was sen-
tenced Tuesday to nine to 18 months in county prison.
Julio Cuevas, 46, of East Holly Street, was sentenced
on the three charges by county Judge David Lupas.
Cuevas has a lengthy criminal history involving
nearly half a dozen other retail thefts, and in the past
Cuevas, originally of Puerto Rico, has been given a
number of chances to better himself, Lupas said.
Cuevas received 96 days credit and cannot enter any
of the stores fromwhich he removed items. Cuevas was
immediately taken to the Luzerne County Correctional
Facility after Tuesdays sentencing to begin serving his
sentence.
According to court papers, Cuevas entered the Ollies
Bargain Outlet on Church Street in Hazleton during
June 2011 and attempted to remove six pairs of jeans.
On Christmas Eve 2011, Hazleton state police said,
Cuevas entered the CVS Pharmacy on Church Street
and attempted to leave with DVD players.
On Jan. 10, state police again were involved in an
incident with Cuevas, who attempted to remove cloth-
ing from the Kmart department store at the Laurel
Mall in Hazle Township.

Aug. 24, 2013
Jean Emanuel, our beloved

friend, passed away on Aug. 24,

Luce was a daughter to Bert and
Anna Luce, Avoca. She was a

husband, Leon David Emanuel,
and sons, L. David Emanuel II,
Bloomsburg, and Jeffrey Bert
Emanuel, Dallas, who succeed
her. Jean was a lifetime resi-
dent of the Back Mountain and
Harding areas.

class of 1940 and took great
pride in keeping the graduat-
ing group united, well into their

WILKES-BARRE The
Luzerne County Election
Board on Wednesday voted
to continue providing a
Spanish version of the ballot
and English/Spanish inter-
preters in the Hazleton area
after considering a written
complaint.
Bureau of Elections
Director Marissa Crispell-
Barber told the board the
bureau received a letter ques-
tioning the practice of provid-
ing a Spanish option on the
electronic voting machines.
Why arent the polls also
in German, French, Russian,
etc.? Why are we catering
to, pacifying and appeasing
people who cannot speak a
word of English? the letter
writer asked.
Crispell-Barber said she
checked with the state
Department of State, and
the county is not required to
provide the ballot in Spanish
based on the percentage of
Spanish-speaking residents
cited in the 2010 census. She
also said the Spanish version
doesnt take that much time
to create and doesnt involve
any extra work for her.
Solicitor Michael Butera
said former bureau director
Leonard Piazza decided to
begin providing the ballot in
Spanish a few years ago. He
said were not required to do
it now, but were going to be
requiredinthe very, verynear
future, so we might as well do
it now.
Board Chairman H.
Jeremy Packard said, based
on comments hes heard,
the Spanish option does
annoy people. Whether that
annoyance stems from the
general fairness overview or
whether it stems from some
ethnic prejudices and con-
cerns the question is: If
we are going to (be close
to the threshold for the state
requirement to provide a
Spanish ballot option by the
next census), should we go
ahead and continue to do
what weve been doing?
Packard said it would
make good administrative
sense to do so.
Board member John F.
Newman asked how many
Pennsylvania counties pro-
vide ballots in Spanish.
Crispell-Barber said there are
three: Lehigh, Philadelphia
and Allegheny.
We do knowthat we have
a heavy concentration of
Hispanic voters in a portion
County election board says s to Spanish ballot
Though not required in Hazleton area, version for Spanish speakers makes sense, say ofcials
of the county. So essentially,
we would be discriminat-
ing in a sense against them
if we didnt do the Spanish
ballot, especially since weve
already set the precedent,
Newman said, adding that
he didnt think the county
should provide interpreters.
Crispell-Barber said the
bureau does pay three inter-
preters as poll workers who
stay in certain precincts in
Hazleton on Election Day.
They rotate, they visit dif-
ferent places during the day,
she said, explaining that poll
workers can call to have an
interpreter sent to another
precinct when and if needed.
Board member John
Baldino said he was ne with
both practices as long as it
is not costing us additional
money that is exorbitant.
The same number of poll
workers would be at Hazleton
area polls regardless of wheth-
er some spoke English and
Spanish, he said.
The board voted unani-
mously to continue both prac-
tices.
Theboardalsovotedtocer-
tify the Hazleton Area School
Board election results, hav-
ing received the special elec-
tion results from Carbon and
Schuylkill counties. A special
school board election was
necessary in those counties
because Crispell-Barber failed
to notify the election bureaus
there that a board member
had withdrawn from the race
andhis name appearedonthe
ballots in those counties.
Therewas nopublic discus-
sion of Crispell-Barbers deci-
siontoterminatethreebureau
employees andeliminate their
positions. The board did,
however, go into executive
session after adjourning the
regular meeting to discuss
personnel issues.

WILKES-BARRE A
New York native who recently
was named one of the news-
paper industrys top editors
under 35 has been appointed
executive editor of The Times
Leader and the Wilkes-Barre
Publishing group of commu-
nity papers.
George Spohr, who comes to
The Times Leader from The
Sentinel in Carlisle, will step
into his new role on Sept. 16,
according to an announcement
made Wednesday by Walt T.
Lafferty, regional business
development director and gen-
eral manager.
I love competition, said
Spohr, explaining how he rel-
ishes the challenge of working
in a two-newspaper town.
He will succeed Times
Leader Executive Editor Joe
Butkiewicz, whose last day is
this week.
Spohr, 32, has been an
executive editor for the Lee
Enterprises chain of news-
papers the past three years,
most recently at The Sentinel.
He previously held that title
at The World, a Lee paper in
Coos Bay, Ore.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y.,
Spohrs family moved to St.
Lawrence County, in upstate
New York near the Canadian
border, when he was 5. They
later moved to Utica, N.Y.,
where Spohr landed his rst
newspaper job.
Spohr was a reporter for
what was then the Gannett-
owned Observer-Dispatch
from 1999 until 2002. He went
on to work for the Central New

Princeton Packet before being
named assistant business
editor for the Press & Sun-
Bulletin of Binghamton, N.Y.,
in 2006. He was named metro/
business editor for the Times
Herald-Record in Middletown,
N.Y., the following year, man-
aging three metro reporters,
three business reporters, six
columnists and a graphic
designer.
In 2010, Spohr was named
state editor for the Watertown
Daily Times in Watertown,
N.Y., a position he held until
being named executive editor
at The World in September
2011.
Spohr moved back East in
July 2012, when he took over
the helm in Carlisle. It was
his work there that brought
Spohr to the attention of
Editor & Publisher
magazine, a newspaper
industry trade publica-
tion that lauded him as
one of their 25 under
35 for 2013 based on
his efforts to capital-
ize on opportunities
created when The
Patriot-News, in nearby
Harrisburg, reduced its
print publishing cycle to three
days each week.
Here, they say The Patriot-
News is the Harrisburg news-
paper, but it really is the
Cumberland County newspa-
per, Spohr said in an inter-
view Wednesday evening.
The competition is pretty
heavy, and we ght for every
story.
Spohr said he looks for-
ward to bringing that ghting
spirit to Luzerne County. He
also plans to bring a passion
for embracing new platforms
to this intensely competitive
media market.
I think the biggest change
in readership over the past few
years is that readers
used to come to you.
They would pick up
the newspaper or
go to your website,
Spohr said. Now,
they really want you
to come to them.
That, he said,
includes engagement
via social media sites
such as Facebook, which The
Sentinel has found effective
in generating discussion with
its community. Weve put a
premium on interacting with
audiences, Spohr said.
Lafferty echoed that theme.
He has been a reporter,
business editor, state editor
and executive editor in his
career and brings an enthusi-
asm and passion to the job that
I am condent you will nd
contagious, Lafferty wrote
in an email to staff announc-
ing Spohrs appointment. He
has a solid background in
content gathering on all plat-
forms, print, digital and social
media.

Feds: Area
woman
bilked IRS
of $2.6M
SCRANTON A
federal grand jury has
returned an indictment
against a Dallas Township
woman accusing her with
cheating the Internal
Revenue Service of $2.6
million in fraudulent tax
returns.
Melissa C. Diana, 41,
of Lake Louise Road, is
facing seven counts of
conspiring to defraud the
United States, ling false
claims for refund and
ling false income tax
returns from 2006 to April
2009.
Diana is listed on
the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission as
a registered investment
advisor based in Forty
Fort. She could not be
reached for comment on
Wednesday.
The indictment was
issued on Tuesday.
According to the indict-
ment:
Diana and others known
to the grand jury attended
seminars and workshops
to learn how to prepare
fraudulent income tax
returns that were sub-
mitted to the IRS. The
conspiracy involved pre-
paring fraudulent 1040
individual income tax
returns using fraudulently
prepared 1099-OID forms,
the indictment states.
Diana and others
recruited customers into
the fraudulent 1099-OID
scheme through one-
on-one consultations,
and sent gures to an
unnamed co-conspira-
tor in California who
prepared the false tax
returns, according to the
indictment.
The indictment alleges
Diana led a claim for
payment of refund in taxes
in the amount of $320,803
for the 2007 tax year,
$1,644,154 for the 2008
tax year and a second tax
refund claim in 2008 for
$568,250.
The indictment did not
offer details on how the
fraud was allegedly car-
ried out. Diana will be
arraigned at the federal
court in Scranton at a date
yet to be set.

The political landscape for Bruce Simpson can undergo huge shifts by the 2015 election, says consultant
WILKES-BARRE By targeting
Tom Leighton as his opponent in the
citys next mayoral race, Bruce Simpson
could be campaigning against the wrong
candidate.
Simpson announced his candidacy
as a Democrat on Tuesday, almost two
years out from the primary in 2015.
Much could change by then, including
whom he will face.
Leighton, two years into his third
four-year term, hasnt indicated wheth-
er hell be on the ballot, said his politi-
cal consultant Ed Mitchell.
We dont even know if the mayor
is going to run yet, Mitchell said
Wednesday.
Mitchell, who handled Leightons
mayoral campaigns and his failed run
for state Senate, said the mayors job
is very demanding and his attention is
focused on matters other than politics,
such as continuing the growth of the
city, improving infrastructure and get-
ting a handle on the violent crime thats
been making headlines.
The best politics is good govern-
ment, Mitchell said, adding that if
Leighton does his job, hes going to be
a tough candidate to run against.
Thats a big if for Simpson, whos crit-
ical of the mayors administration.
This is a city that is deteriorating
rapidly before our eyes, Simpson said.
His law enforcement experience and
his administrative positions with the
federal government provide a solid
foundation for the ofce, he said.
From 1995 to 1998 when he retired,
he served as chief of collections with
the Financial Management Service, a
bureau of the U.S. Department of the
Treasury and was tasked with training
government employees to comply with
the Debt Collection Improvement Act
of 1996.
My portfolio with the federal gov-
ernment was $50 billion, he said. The
act dealt with the collection of non-tax
debt owed to the federal government,
he said.
The 60-year-old Simpson is an out-
sider not having been born and raised
in the city. Hes lived here for the past
decade, after moving from the Poconos.
He was born in New Jersey and grew up
in Allentown and Reading.
Thats a strike against me and for
me, he said.

DALLAS TWP. A
Bucks County man was
charged Wednesday with
sending multiple harassing
and sexually threatening
emails to a Back Mountain
man for nearly four months.
Mario A. Diegidio, 49, of
Bensalem, surrendered at
the ofce of District Judge
James Tupper where he was
arraigned on three counts
each of terroristic threats,
stalking and harassment. He
was released on $5,000 unse-
cured bail.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Morrell Devlin of Dallas
Township told police in
May that he received sev-
eral threatening emails from
an unknown person. Devlin
had copies of the emails that
were also put on a compact
discs.
Ten emails were sent to
Devlin on May 13. Several
emails showed pictures of
Devlins residence and child,
while other emails contained
threats to commit sexual
assault.
How can you feel safe
when I know where you and
your wife and children are
every minute? You usually
call the state police in these
situations. Right Mo? one
email said.
Police learned Devlins
identity was used to open an
email account with Google
and to open a Facebook
account in his name. Devlin
reported the bogus Facebook
account with his name was
used to send pornography
sites to all his friends.

FORT HOOD, Texas
A military jury sentenced
Maj. Nidal Hasan to death
on Wednesday for the 2009
shooting rampage at Fort
Hood, giving the Army psy-
chiatrist what he believed
would be a path to martyrdom
in the attack on unarmed fel-
low soldiers.
The American-born
Muslim, who has said he
acted to protect Islamic insur-
gents abroad from American
aggression, never denied
being the gunman. In opening
statements, he acknowledged
to the jury that he pulled the
trigger in a crowded waiting
room where troops were get-
ting nal medical checkups
before deploying to Iraq and
Afghanistan.
The same jurors who con-
victed Hasan last week had
just two options: either agree
unanimously that Hasan
should die or watch the
42-year-old get an automatic
sentence of life in prison with
no chance of parole.
Hasan had no visible reac-
tion when the verdict was
read Wednesday, staring rst
at the jury forewoman and
then at the judge.
Ofcials said he will be
taken back to a county jail
and then transported on the
rst available military ight
to the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth in Kansas. The
timing on the ight wasnt
immediately clear.
Hasan could
become the rst
American soldier
executed in more
than half a century.
But because the mili-
tary justice system
requires a lengthy
appeals process,
years or even decades could
pass before he is put to death.
The lead prosecutor
assured jurors that Hasan
would never be a martyr
despite his attempt to tie the
attack to religion.
He is a criminal. He is
a cold-blooded murderer,
Col. Mike Mulligan said
Wednesday in his nal plea
for a rare military death sen-
tence. This is not his gift to
God. This is his debt to soci-
ety. This is the cost of his mur-
derous rampage.
For nearly four years,
the federal government has
sought to execute
Hasan, believing that
any sentence short of a
lethal injection would
deny justice to the
families of the dead
and the survivors who
had believed they were
safe behind the gates
of the Texas base.
And for just as long, Hasan
has seemed content to go to
the death chamber for his
beliefs. He red his own attor-
neys to represent himself,
barely put up a defense during
a three-week trial and made
almost no effort to have his
life spared.
Mulligan reminded the jury
that Hasan was a trained doc-
tor yet opened re on defense-
less comrades. He only dealt
death, the prosecutor said,
so the only appropriate sen-
tence is death.
He was never allowed to
argue in front of the jury that
the shooting was necessary to
protect Islamic and Taliban
leaders fromAmerican troops.
During the trial, Hasan leaked
documents to journalists that
revealed him telling military
mental health workers in 2010
that he could still be a mar-
tyr if executed.
When Hasan began shoot-
ing, the troops were standing
in long lines to receive immu-
nizations and doctors clear-
ance. Thirteen people were
killed and more than were 30
wounded. All but one of the
dead were soldiers, including
a pregnant private who curled
on the oor and pleaded for
her babys life.
The attack ended only
when Hasan was shot in the
back by an ofcer respond-
ing to the shooting. Hasan is
now paralyzed from the waist
down and uses a wheelchair.
VIENNA
UN: Iran steps up
nuke program
Iran has prepared more than 1,000
advanced uranium enriching machines
for startup, the U.N.s nuclear agency said
Wednesday, a move that is likely to raise
concerns among countries who accuse
Tehran of wanting to harness enrichment
for the production of atomic arms.
At the same time, the report by the
International Atomic Energy Agency said
Iran now has pushed back the time frame
for the operation of a reactor that Irans
critics fear could be used to make pluto-
nium, which like enriched uranium
can be used for the ssile core of nuclear
weapons.
The report also conrmed that the
IAEA and Iranian experts have agreed
to restart talks focused on the agencys
attempts to probe suspicions that Tehran
worked on atomic weapons, in what would
be the rst such meeting since Irans hard-
line president was replaced by a more
moderate successor.
Iran denies any interest in nuclear weap-
ons.
NEWYORK
NYPD labels mosques
as terror groups
The New York Police Department has
secretly labeled entire mosques as ter-
rorist organizations, a designation that
allows police to use informants to record
sermons and spy on imams, often without
specic evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
Designating an entire mosque as a ter-
rorism enterprise means that anyone who
attends prayer services there is a potential
subject of an investigation and fair game
for surveillance.
Since the 9/11 attacks, the NYPD has
opened at least a dozen terrorism enter-
prise investigations intomosques, accord-
ing to interviews and condential police
documents. The TEI, as it is known, is a
police tool intended to help investigate ter-
rorist cells and the like.
HELENA, MONt.
Doctor who claimed he
saw Roswell debris dies
Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr., who said he han-
dled debris from the 1947 crash of an
unidentied ying object near Roswell,
N.M., has died at the age of 76.
Denice Marcel said her father was found
dead at his home in Helena on Saturday,
less than two months after making his last
trip to Roswell. He had been reading a
book about UFOs.
He was credible. He wasnt lying. He
never embellished only told what he
saw, his wife Linda said.
Marcels father was an Air Force intelli-
gence ofcer and reportedly the rst mili-
tary ofcer to investigate the wreckage in
early July 1947.
PIttSBURGH
Charter founder
pleads not guilty
The founder and former CEO of a
cyber-charter school that educates more
than 11,000 Pennsylvania students has
pleaded not guilty to federal charges that
he siphoned more than $8 million from
the school through a network of prot and
nonprot companies he also controlled.
Fifty-eight-year-old Nicholas Trombetta
entered the plea Wednesday at his arraign-
ment before a federal magistrate in
Pittsburgh. His accountant, Neal Prence,
also 58, pleaded not guilty to allegedly
helping Trombetta shield the stolen
money from federal taxes.
Trombetta, founder of the Pennsylvania
Cyber Charter School, allegedly bought a
$1 million Florida condominium, houses
for his girlfriend and mother, and spent
nearly $1 million on living expenses since
2006. Federal prosecutors say he tucked
away most of the rest of the money in a
shell company for his retirement.

have found a compelling clue in
the quest to learn what causes
age-related memory problems,
and to one day be able to tell
if those misplaced car keys
are just a senior moment or
an early warning of something
worse.
Wednesdays report offers
evidence that age-related
memory loss really is a distinct
condition from pre-Alzheimers
and offers a hint that what
we now consider the normal
forgetfulness of old age might
eventually be treatable.
Researchers at Columbia
University Medical Center
examined brains, young and
old ones, donated from people
who died without signs of neu-
rologic disease. They discov-
ered that a certain gene in a
specic part of the hippocam-
pus, the brains memory center,
quits working properly in older
people. It produces less of a key
protein.
That section of the brain,
called the dentate gyrus, has
long been suspected of being
especially vulnerable to aging.
Importantly, its a different neu-
ral neighborhood than where
Alzheimers begins to form.
But its circumstantial evi-
dence that having less of that
protein, named RbAp48, affects
memory loss in older adults. So
the researchers took a closer
look at mice, which become for-
getful as they age in much the
same way that people do.
Sure enough, cutting levels of
the protein made healthy young
rodents lose their way in mazes
and perform worse on other
memory tasks just like old mice
naturally do.
More intriguing, the memory
loss was reversible: Boosting
the protein made forgetful old
mice as sharp as the young-
sters again, the researchers
reported in the journal Science
Translational Medicine.
Its the best evidence so
far that age-related memory
loss isnt the same as early
Alzheimers, said Nobel laure-
ate Dr. Eric Kandel, who led
the Columbia University team.
And since some people make
it to 100 without showing much
of a cognitive slowdown, the
work begs another question:
Is that normal aging, or is it
a deterioration that were allow-
ing to occur? Kandel said.
As we want to live longer
and stay engaged in a cogni-
tively complex world, I think
even mild age-related memory
decline is meaningful, added
Columbia neurologist Dr. Scott
Small, a senior author of the
study. It opens up a whole ave-
nue of investigation to now try
to identify interventions.
Research points to a cause
of age-related memory
issues and the possibility
they could be reversed

Awave of coordinated explosions tore through Baghdad early Wednesday
BAGHDAD Car bomb blasts and
other explosions tore through mainly
Shiite districts around Baghdad dur-
ing morning rush hour Wednesday in a
day of violence that killed at least 80,
intensifying worries about Iraqs ability
to tame the spiraling mayhem gripping
the country.
It was the latest set of large-scale
sectarian attacks to hit Iraq, even as
the government went on high alert in
case a possible Western strike in neigh-
boring Syria increases Iraqs turmoil.
A relentless wave of killing has left
thousands dead since April in the coun-
trys worst spate of bloodshed since
2008. The surge in violence raises
fears that Iraq is hurtling back toward
the widespread sectarian killing that
peaked in 2006 and 2007, when the
country was teetering on the edge of
civil war.
Most of Wednesdays attacks hap-
pened within minutes of each other
as people headed to work or were out
shopping early in the day. Insurgents
unleashed explosives-laden cars, sui-
cide bombers and other bombs that
targeted parking lots, outdoor mar-
kets and restaurants in predominantly
Shiite areas in and around Baghdad,
ofcials said. A military convoy was
hit south of the capital.
Security forces sealed off the blast
scenes as ambulances raced to pick up
the wounded. The twisted wreckage of
cars littered the pavement while clean-
ers and shop owners brushed away
debris. At one restaurant, the oor
was stained with blood and dishes
were scattered on plastic tables.
What sin have those innocent peo-
ple committed? asked Ahmed Jassim,
who witnessed one of the explosions
in Baghdads Hurriyah neighborhood.
We hold the government responsi-
ble.
The northern neighborhood of
Kazimiyah, home to a prominent Shiite
shrine, was among the worst hit. Two
bombs went off in a parking lot, fol-
lowed by a suicide car bomber who
struck onlookers who had gathered at
the scene. Police said the attack killed
10 people and wounded 27.
There was no immediate claim of
responsibility for the attacks, but they
bore the hallmarks of the Iraqi branch
of al-Qaida, which operates in Iraq
under the name the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant. The group fre-
quently targets Shiites, which it con-
siders heretics, and carries out coordi-
nated bombings in an attempt to incite
sectarian strife.
Charles Lister, an analyst at IHS
Janes Terrorism and Insurgency
Center, said the group is increasingly
showing huge condence and mili-
tary capability.

80 dead as Iraq violence escalates

Vt. marks 2 years since Irenes fury
MONTPELIER, Vt. Two
years ago, Dots diner was prac-
ticallywipedout whenTropical
Storm Irene poured down on
interior New England, causing
massive ooding, killing doz-
ens of people in the region and
forever altering the landscape.
The Wilmington eatery was
to be held up as an example of
Vermonts resilience and spirit
on Wednesday as the state
marked the second anniver-
sary of the deadly storm and
celebrates milestones in its
recovery.
Gov. Peter Shumlin said the
anniversary is an opportunity
to recognize the states recov-
ery and to remember those
who have not yet made a full
comeback.
As it made its way north-
ward, the storm caused
massive power outages in
several states, including
Pennsylvania, where it was
blamed on the deaths of ve
people. Three died as a result
of fallen trees.
Irene dumped up to 11
inches of rain on parts of
Vermont, turning rivers into
torrents and sweeping away
homes, roads, bridges and
farm elds. Six Vermont resi-
dents were killed, thousands
were left homeless and the
storm damaged or destroyed
more than 200 bridges and
500 miles of highway. Of the
states 251 towns, 225 had
infrastructure damage.
Shumlin was to release
a report Wednesday on the
states recovery and recom-
mendations to reduce the
damage of future storms.
The state and federal govern-
ments have spent more than
$565 million to help with
Vermonts recovery. That
doesnt include private dona-
tions and money that people
have spent on their own.

Ofcials with two com-
panies that offered to pro-
vide ground services at
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
International Airport said
they were amazed that
airport ofcials chose
to negotiate a contract
with a relatively unknown
company with little if any
experience in that eld.
But the president of
the company poised to be
awarded a 15-year contract
today to provide ground
services such as fueling
aircraft, maintenance and
repair and ight school,
said his company has a
wealth of experienced per-
sonnel and will be provid-
ing the airport with qual-
ity services.
The airport board in
April requested propos-
als and qualications for
a new xed base opera-
tor (FBO) given that a
10-year contract with
Saker Aviation was set to
expire on Aug. 31. The
airport received ve pro-
posals and in July voted to
negotiate a contract with
Aviation Technologies.
The board is set to vote
on the award of an FBO
contract at todays meet-
ing.
The airport board on
Wednesday denied The
Times Leaders request
to review the proposals,
citing an exception to
the Right to Know Law.
Pennsylvania NewsMedia
Association attorney
Melissa Melewsky said
the documents are public
records, saying the excep-
tion does not apply.
Two of the compa-
nies submitting propos-
als provided information
from the proposals and
comment at The Times
Leaders request.
We were quite shocked
because we never heard of
(Aviation Technologies).
When we did a web
search, it appears they
are a charter services bro-
ker company, said Todd
Smith, general manager
of Volo Aviation, which
submitted a proposal. It
would have been an easier
pill to swallow had we lost
out to another known FBO
services provider.
Mike Horan, president
of Taughannock, who also
submitted a proposal, said
that out of all the players,
there were denitely much
more qualied vendors.
Horan said the bidding
process itself was unusual,
in that, for example, the
airport requested a provi-
sion that the FBO give a
minimum of 50 percent of
any fuel bonus the FBO
receives to the airport.
Typically, fuel suppliers
dont guarantee monetary
kickbacks to airports, he
said.
Smith said Volo offered
$1 million in capital
investment at the airport
over 15 years if given the
contract, and he heard
Aviation Technologies
offered only the minimum
that the airport was seek-
ing: $150,000.
Reached at the airport
on Wednesday, Aviation
Technologies President
James Gallagher said his
company has primarily
been a charter services
provider, but has also pro-
vided many other types of
services at different air-
ports across the country.
He said his brother, who
is chief nancial ofcer
of the company, was the
president of Tech Aviation
the company awarded
the FBO contract 10 years
ago. Saker bought out
Tech Aviation two years
later.
Gallagher also said that
his company will be pro-
viding signicant capital
investment at the airport,
including a new high-tail
hangar that could cost in
the neighborhood of $3
million to attract large-
tier corporations to do
business at the airport.

NUANGOLA A room
full of property owners
with plenty of questions
appeared at Mondays
sewer authority meeting,
and a substantial number
of their inquiries had to
be elded by Rich Kresge,
chief eneginer for the sewer
system project.
Pipeline and grinder
pump installations under
contract to the Wexcon
Co. are running behind,
and Kresge, of the Quad3
Group of Wilkes-Barre,
asked for the authoritys
endorsement to extend the
completion date from Sept.
15 to Nov. 15.
Kresge, however, didnt
get the approval he sought.
A roll call vote on a
motion by authority
chairman Ray Shirk that
Kresges request be grant-
ed, with a stipulation that
no further extensions will
considered, ended in a
split vote, 2-2. Shirk and
Sally DiRico, secretary of
the board, voted yes. Ted
Vancosky, authority trea-
surer, and vice chairman
Gerard Maskinas voted
no. As a result, the issue
of extending the comple-
tion date was left in limbo,
although attorney Robert
Gonos, solicitor, recom-
mended that the two sides
should meet and attempt to
resolve their issues.
The authority, following
the resignation in July of
Dan Pekar, has only four
members.
Vancosky based his vote
on the premise that the
authority will be paying
for extras, such as engi-
neering fees, that it should
not be paying, he said.
Wexcon should be pay-
ing.
Kresge rebutted, I can
tell you that in my view,
the job is on track and
on budget according to
the contract we signed last
year.
Wexcon became bogged
down with terrain prob-
lems in the northwest sec-
tor of the borough and as
a result work is projected
at being only 20 percent
complete, Kresge said.
Following recent meetings
between the contractor and
engineers, it was decide to
separate the job into two
phases: Phase I, which
consists of 80 percent of
the borough, and Phase II,
which is the area of North
End Road.
Phase I has been success-
fully tested and inspected
and is essentially com-
plete, Kresge said. Phase
II is only 20 percent n-
ished and will require exca-
vation, drilling and installa-
tion work through Oct. 31.
Penalties stipulated in
the contract for installa-
tions that fail to meet tar-
get dates have been waived,
Shirk and Kresge said.
Complaints from resi-
dents centered around
landscape damage suppos-
edly caused by the contrac-
tor, uncertainty on the clos-
ing of on-site systems and
the imposition of penalties
for the late payment of tap-
in fees.
Councilwoman Regina
Plodwick read a prepared
statement in which she
alleged the whole project
has been mismanaged.
Plodwick contended the
system should have, at the
least, been operational for
the start of classes at Rice
Elementary School.

from 2006 to 2011 when he
resigned.
The newspaper was pur-
chased in March 2012 by
Versa Capital Management
LLC, which acquired all
assets of the news-
paper, including the
debt owed to the
company by Connor.
Attorney Mark
D. Bradshaw, who
represented Wilkes-
Barre Publishing,
conrmed the suit
settled to the benet
of all parties.
Connors attorney, George
A. Reihner of Scranton, did
not return a message for
comment on Wednesday.
The suit alleged Connor
engaged in a pattern of
conduct that caused the
newspaper to transfer cash
for his personal use and to
pay personal credit card
charges he incurred.
The Times Leader and
Connor reached an under-
standing that the funds paid
to himwere loans that would
need to be repaid. Connor
signed a written statement
acknowledging the amount
that was owed according to
audits performed in 2008
and 2010, the suit alleged.
In his defense, Connor
argued the newspaper
failed to abide by an agree-
ment that it would offset his
debt by money he is owed.
Connor said he took volun-
tary pay cuts and did not
receive certain bonuses he
had earned as a result of
the newspapers nancial
condition.
Connor noted in his
defense that he was not
credited for unused vacation
time and was not provided
an offset that would reect
the risk Connor assumed
when he loaned the news-
paper more than $1 million
during his employment.

WILKES-BARRE
Nearly four months into
a $1,227 per month lease,
U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwrights
Wilkes-Barre district ofce
opened this week.
Cartwright, D-Moosic,
promised after he was
elected in November to
open ofces in Scranton,
Pottsville, Easton and
Wilkes-Barre. The
Scranton ofce opened
rst; one in Pottsville
opened in late March. A
permanent Easton ofce
opened in early May, but
staff members worked out
of an ofce on the ninth
oor of Eastons City Hall
since February.
In April, Luzerne
County Council approved
a two-year lease with
Cartwright for a second-
oor suite in the county-
owned Penn Place building
on East Market Street at
Pennsylvania Avenue. The
lease for suite 201 began
May 1, but Shane Seaver,
a spokesman for the con-
gressman, said holdups
delayed the opening of the
the 920-square-foot space.
Wiring and networking
problems were to blame,
said Seaver, and they were
out of the congressmans
hands.
Each ofce has to be
wired by the House in
order to guarantee a secure
connection, and there was
a delay in having this work
nished, he said.
The ofce, which is
staffed by two workers and
will be open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and
Thursdays, is located in the
former county coroners
space. The coroners ofce
moved to another location
on the second oor on
Penn Place.
The congressmans
ofce will focus primarily
on economic development
and constituent advocacy
regarding issues with
Social Security, Medicare,
the IRS, veterans ben-
ets and other federal pro-
grams, Seaver said. The
phone number is 570-371-
0317.
The Wilkes-Barre area
had been without a con-
gressional ofce this year.
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta
previously had an ofce in
Plains Township, on state
Route 315, but it closed
when redistricting took
effect this year. His 11th
Congressional District
includes constituents from
only the southern part of
Luzerne County.
Cartwright serves the
states 17th Congressional
District, which includes
all or portions of Monroe,
Carbon, Lackawanna,
Luzerne, Northampton
and Schuylkill counties.
Constituents should
know that we are open
for business, and that we
stand ready to help them
with any problems they
may have with the federal
government or any of its
agencies, said Cartwright.
A signicant number of
my constituents reside in
Luzerne County and I look
forward to serving them.
There are 58,936 reg-
istered voters in Luzerne
Countys portion of
Cartwrights district.
Cartwright opens W-B ofce

LEONARD CHAPURA
Aug. 28, 2013
Leonard Chapura died on
Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2013, at
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. He
was born in and lived most of the 89
years of his life in Nanticoke.
He graduated from Nanticoke
High School and served honorably
in World War II with the 574th
AAA Battalion, Third Army, as
a radio repairman and operator.
Fifteen of those 36 months were
spent in Europe, participating in
the Central Europe and Rhineland
campaigns under Gen. George S.
Patton.
Leonard retired from the
Nanticoke Post Ofce as a letter
carrier, being named carrier of
the year during his tenure. In his
later years, he worked part time
for American Greetings and trans-
ported foster children for Families
Caring for Children.
Leonards life was devoted to
faith, family and community. He
was an active member of St. Joseph
Slovak Church in Nanticoke until
its closure. He served as president
of the Holy Name Society for many
years and sang in the mens choir at
the church. Always ready to lend a
hand, he served on many church
committees and at any major event
at the church.
Leonard was very proud of his
Slovak heritage and was a member
of the Slovak Heritage Society of
Northeastern Pennsylvania. A high-
light of his life was a trip to Slovakia
with this organization, including
visits to the small villages that were
the birthplaces of his grandparents.
Always interested in the bet-
terment of Nanticoke, he and his
late wife, Rita, opened the Family
Hobby Center in the 1960s, a model
race car track, to provide a place for
activities for the youth in town. He
was an active participant at redevel-
opment meetings and worked on
the bicentennial committee.

wife, Rita (Kubelis); sister, Irene
Makara; and brother, Francis
Chapura.

ters, Patricia Kohut and her hus-

If the bankruptcy sale of the Huber
Breaker does result in the demolition
of the mammoth piece of Luzerne
County history, the demise will not be
for lack of heart from those who toiled
to save it.
The breaker, built in 1938, was
perhaps literally too big to succeed.
Preservation would require massive
amounts of money just to seal it from
further weather damage and restore the
exterior. Restoring the inner workings
in a way suitable for admission would
put the price beyond the stratosphere.
But while saving it would have been
monumental, it would be a monument
worth saving. The notion of touring
such an enormous facility whets the
imagination. To see howit all worked as
up to 1,000 tons of coal was processed,
to get a glimpse of the machinery, to
learn how such specialized equipment
was innovated and by whom; these
always were worthy goals.
As a museum, the Ashley breaker
could have been unique, giving visi-
tors a sense of how it felt to work in
the beating heart of the coal industry,
pumping the ore in one end and out the
other.
The idea of a Huber Breaker muse-
um t nicely into existing coal heri-
tage efforts. Eckley Miners Village
near Hazleton has preserved the feel
and look of the old patch towns. The
Lackawanna and Pioneer Tunnel Coal
Mines, in Scranton and Ashland,
respectively, afford glimpses of the
dangerous work needed to retrieve the
ore. Scrantons Steamtown National
Historic Site shows the locomotives
that coal red, and other regional
museums retain tools, artifacts and his-
tory of the industry.
A preserved Huber could have lled
in the one missing link, the processing
of anthracite.
But perhaps the most powerful argu-
ment for preserving the Huber was and
is its size and location. Unlike other
breakers that still remain and might
someday be considered for museum
status upon retirement, this one occu-
pied a setting of iconic proportions,
looming large and obvious to anyone
approaching Wyoming Valley from the
north via Interstate 81 or state Route
309.
The Huber Breaker towers like a titan
over the valley, testimony to how vast
and powerful the coal industry was in
its prime, a reminder of just how much
anthracite meant to the region and
the world as the Industrial Revolution
unfolded and society hurtled headlong
into a new age.
If it is torn down for scrap as expect-
ed, it will leave a hole in our landscape
and our history. Perhaps it was inevi-
table, perhaps the Huber Breaker was
much too large to be preserved. But
that is only because, as it so effectively
reminds us, once coal was the giant of
our region.
OUR OPINION: HUBER BREAKER
Atitan too large
for us to save?
MALLARD FILLMORE DOONESBURY
No Child Left Behind has become the
hand-cranked mono phonograph in the
age of downloadable, surround-sound,
MP3 music. Its UNIVAC in the era of
smartphones. Its a Model T trying to
race a jet. And as of last week it suffered
the overdue and easily predicted death
in Pennsylvania at least, the death of
its original form.
I wrote about it in April, 2004, when
the impact of the 2002 law and all its
testing mandates was just hitting area
schools: From the start, No Child
Left Behind was both too rigid and
too exible, ready to collapse under its
own weight by buckling at its weakest
points. If states strive to meet the spirit
of the law, they will fail because some
goals are unrealistic. If they follow the
letter of the law and skirt the real goals,
they fail the students.
The problem from the outset was the
federal mandate that students in grades
three through eight and 11 all score
procient or better in standardized
math and reading tests by 2014. The
theory was noble, the reality untenable.
Students come in too many avors,
often with vastly divergent backgrounds
and experiences, for anyone to guaran-
tee all will be procient each year.
So as 2014 approached and states
kept increasing the minimum per-
centage that had to score procient,
more and more schools started miss-
ing those goals. What to do? The U.S.
Department of Education began issu-
ing waivers, to states, letting them
replace the 100 percent prociency goal
with some other method of proving stu-
dent achievement.
There is a serious legal question
about this tactic, rarely being discussed
outside education wonk circles: The
NCLB law is explicit in the 100 percent
prociency goal, so when the U.S. secre-
tary of education grants a waiver and
Pennsylvania was the 42nd state to get
one he is arguably breaking the law
he is waiving.
Education policy guru
and historian Diane
Ravitch put it bluntly: It
is not the prerogative of
any federal ofcial not
even a Cabinet member
to decide to disregard
a federal law If the law
stinks, as NCLB does,
revise it. Thats the way
our legal system works.
In fact, the law was
supposed to have been
revamped already.
Signed in January 2002, it required re-
authorization that never happened in
2007, hardly a surprise in hyper-partisan
Washington these days.
But the real issue is what replaces the
100 percent prociency goal. At rst
blush, it sounds as if the new system
hits the sweet spot of scholastic metrics:
The primary goal is nowto demonstrate
improvement and to close the achieve-
ment gap between procient and non-
procient students.
The new method relies on the
Pennsylvania Value-added Assessment
System (PVAS) to decide whether or
not students are learning as much as
they should each year. Value Added
uses the same old tests, but applies a
statistical analysis designed to account
for all those differences in students. It is
supposed to look at academic growth,
rather than prociency alone.
The argument, and its a strong one,
is that its far more important to show a
student is making real progress toward
prociency each year than to show pro-
ciency.
But dig a little deeper and you nd
problems, the biggest of which is a new
way of classifying schools. The state
will look at aggregate results of its stan-
dardized tests, and the top 5 percent of
schools will be called Reward schools
while those in the bottom10 percent get
the title of either Focus or Priority
schools.
That means weve gone from an abso-
lute goal (100 percent prociency) to an
absolutely relative goal. Theoretically,
every school could have all its students
hit high scores, and 10 percent of the
schools would still be dubbed focus
or priority schools. Or all the schools
could score poorly, and 5 percent would
still be dubbed reward schools.
It gets even more relative. Only
schools with high percentages of Title
I students will get one of the three des-
ignations (Title I is a federal program
providing money to help low-income
students succeed). Yet when I asked
a state Department of Ed spokesman
what, exactly, the high percentage is,
he replied there is no specic threshold.
All this matters because reward
schools get bragging rights and if
the state comes up with any money a
chance to compete for grants, while the
other two designations trigger potential
state interventions that could include
ousting principals or teachers.
Educators are still awaiting details
from Harrisburg, so its too early to
judge the new accountability system
completely. But it increasingly looks
more like a patchwork of ideas stitched
together in haste, rather than a well-
thought-out plan carefully vetted to
make sure it really does produce better
student results.
And we already had one of those. It
was called No Child Left Behind. It
promised 100 percent prociency by
next year, and it failed.
We dont need Son of NCLB; we
need results.

COMMENTARY: MARK GUYDISH
THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com Thursday, August 29, 2013 PAGE 11A
Editorial
It might be a case of shutting the
barn door after the horse has ed, but
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has
barred state appellate court staff from
performing private legal work for com-
pensation. That is a door that needed to
be shut.
According to The Associated Press,
the order affects 404 staff members of
the states appellate court system. The
order did not mention Supreme Court
Justice Seamus McCaffery, whose recent
troubles appear to supply the context for
the action.
In June, the Philadelphia Inquirer
reported that the FBI is investigating
Justice McCaffery over fees paid to his
wife and chief aide, Lise Rapaport, for
referring clients to personal injury law
rms (an attorney for the justice and his
wife denied the existence of a probe).
The paper said the probe is investigat-
ing 19 referral fees and that Rapaport,
who is paid $75,395 by the state,
received an $821,000 referral fee in
2012 after a Philadelphia law rm suc-
cessfully settled a large medical-malprac-
tice case. Such referral fees are legal in
Pennsylvania and Justice McCaffery has
made no secret of his wifes activities.
Still, the state Ethics Act bars public
ofcials from using their authority for
the private pecuniary benet of their
families. Even if that is not an issue here,
at the very least there is the appearance
of a conict of interest. Chief Justice
Ronald D. Castille is already on record
as criticizing the referrals.
The updated rule allows pro bono
work and was promulgated quickly. It
did not go through the usual commit-
tee to review rules, but was published
in the interests of justice and efcient
administration and rightly so. In
a system that already allows too many
temptations due to would-be judges
being pressured to seek political contri-
butions from lawyers who might appear
before them later, this door had to be
slammed shut.

OTHER OPINION: PA. COURT REFORM
Ethical cloud gone
with newcourt rule
W-B golf course
should be sold
As president of Wilkes-Barre
Taxpayers Association, I would like
to respond to a letter written by
Stephanie Harris on Aug. 16 concern-
ing the 540 acres the city of Wilkes-
Barre owns in Bear Creek Township.
The property includes the nearly
200-acre Wilkes-Barre Municipal
Golf Course and roughly 340 acres of
wooded unused land.
Harris claimed that the General
municipal authority owns the land,
not the city, and neither council nor
the mayor could tell them what to do
with their land. This is incorrect.
According to the city charter, The
mayor may remove all members of
boards and commissions. Therefore,
he has the power to dissolve boards,
authorities and commissions as he
sees t. The land would then come
back to the city.
Harris also claimed this land was
bought with ACT 70 funds, which
means it has to stay recreational.
This is also incorrect. Councilman
Tony George has looked into this
matter and found the city only needs
approval by the Orphans Court, if the
city could show little benet to our
residents. He also found there is a
bill pending to make it easier to sell
ACT 70 land.
Considering the fact that the city
receives no revenue from either the
Wilkes-Barre Municipal Golf Course
or the surrounding land, the city
should not have too much difculty
liquidating this property. At a time
when the city needs infrastructure
repairs, police ofcers, etc., we can-
not afford to ignore the proceeds
from this land.

The Huber Breaker now, more than ever, faces the scrap heap.
where four black girls were
killed when a bomb plant-
ed by a white supremacist
exploded in 1963.
Georgia Rep. John
Lewis, a former freedom
rider and the sole survivor
of the main organizers of
the 1963 march, recounted
the civil rights struggles
of his youth and exhorted
American to keep the
faith and keep our eyes on
the prize.
The throngs assembled
in soggy weather at the
Lincoln Memorial, where
King, with soaring, rhyth-
mic oratory and a steely
countenance, had pleaded
with Americans to come
together to stomp out rac-
ism and create a land of
opportunity for all.
White and black, they
came this time to recall
history and live it.
My parents did their
fair share and I feel like
we have to keep the ght
alive, said Frantz Walker,
a honey salesman from
Baltimore who is black.
This is hands-on history.
Kevin Keefe, a Navy law-
yer who is white, said he
still tears up when he hears
Kings speech.
What happened 50
years ago was huge, he
said, adding that theres
still progress to be made
on economic inequality
and other problems.
Two former presidents,
Bill Clinton and Jimmy
Carter, spoke of Kings
legacy and of problems
still to overcome.
This march, and that
speech, changed America,
Clinton declared, remem-
bering the impact on the
world and himself as a
young man. They opened
minds, they melted hearts
and they moved millions
including a 17-year-old
boy watching alone in his
home in Arkansas.
Carter said Kings
efforts had helped not just
black Americans, but In
truth, he helped to free all
people.
Still, Carter listed a
string of current events
that he said would have
spurred King to action
in this day, including the
proliferation of guns and
stand-your-ground laws,
a Supreme Court ruling
striking down parts of the
Voting Rights Act, and
high rates of joblessness
among blacks.
Obama used his address
to pay tribute to the march-
ers of 1963 and that era
the maids, laborers,
students and more who
came from ordinary ranks
to engage on the battle-
eld of justice and he
implored Americans not to
dismiss what they accom-
plished.
To dismiss the magni-
tude of this progress, to
suggest as some some-
times do that little has
changed, that dishonors
the courage, the sacrice,
of those who paid the price
to march in those years,
Obama said.
Their victory great. But
we would dishonor those
heroes as well to suggest
that the work of this nation
is somehow complete.
Civil rights activist
Myrlie Evers-Williams,
whose husband Medgar
Evers was murdered in
1963, said that while the
country has certainly
taken a turn backwards on
civil rights she was ener-
gized to move ahead and
exhorted others to step for-
ward as well.
Kings eldest son, Martin
Luther King III, just 5 when
his father spoke at the Mall,
spoke of a dream not yet
realized in full.
Weve got a lot of work
to do but none of us should
be any ways tired, he said.
Why? Because weve come
much too far from where
we started.
Slate gray skies gave way
to sunshine briey peeking
from the clouds as the Let
Freedom Ring commemo-
ration unfolded. After that,
an intermittent rain.
Obama spoke with a bit
of a nger-wag at times,
saying that if were honest
with ourselves, well admit
that during the course of
50 years, there were times
when some of us claiming
to push for change lost our
way. He spoke of self-
defeating riots, recrimina-
tions, times when the big-
otry of others was reason to
give up on yourself.
But the president said
that though progress stalled
at times, the good news is,
just as was true in 1963, we
now have a choice.
We can continue down
our current path, in which
the gears of this great
democracy grind to a halt
and our children accept a
life of lower expectations;
where politics is a zero-
sum game where a few do
very well while struggling
families of every race ght
over a shrinking economic
pie thats one path. Or
we can have the courage to
change.
Among faces in the
crowd: lawyer Ollie Cantos
of Arlington, Va., there with
his 14-year-old triplets Leo,
Nick and Steven. All four
are blind, and they moved
through the crowd with
their hands on each others
shoulders, in a makeshift
train.
Cantos, who is Filipino,
said he brought his sons to
help teach them the con-
tinuing ght for civil rights.
The disability rights
movement that Im a part
of, that I dedicate my life
to, is actually an extension
of the original civil rights
movement, said Cantos.
I wanted to do everything
I can to school the boys in
the ways of the civil rights
movement and not just
generally but how it affects
them personally.
D.C. plumber Jerome
Williams, whose fam-
ily tree includes North
Carolina sharecroppers,
took the day off work to
come with his wife and
two kids. Its a history les-
son that they can take with
them for the rest of their
lives, he said.

media interest in
the cases. 0es ent .
The remaining 42 cases
scheduled to be heard will
take place at the Dallas
High School on Sept. 18.
To avoid possible dis-
ruption of those goals it
is believed prudent to re-
schedule these cases to
the county courthouse,
Panella said in a press
release.
James Koval, a spokes-
man for the Administrative
Ofce of Pennsylvania
Courts, said some com-
ments regarding the
nature of the cases were
received by the Superior
Court, but the decision to
move the three cases was
based on their high-prole
nature.
Elizabeth Martin, a
Dallas Township super-
visor and a mother of a
Dallas High School stu-
dent, has said she had
mixed feelings about
Sanduskys case being
heard at the high school.
As a mother, I think the
case is out of place any-
where near a school but
they signed up for it and
I guess they think its a
great opportunity to have
it here, she recently said.
Dallas School District
Superintendent Frank
Galicki said Thursday
either way, the court pro-
ceedings will be an out-
standing learning oppor-
tunity. At this stage, it was
a decision by the court for
reasons and concerns they
had.
Superior Court cases
have previously been
argued in schools in
Freeland and Hazleton.
Sandusky, 69, was con-
victed of molesting 10
boys in a case that led
to the ring of longtime
Coach Joe Paterno and
NCAA sanctions against
Penn States football pro-
gram. Sandusky is serving
30 to 60 years in prison.
Im happy to argue it
wherever they want to be,
said Sanduskys lawyer,
Norris Gelman. Ill meet
them on any ground.
In the other two cases:
Veon, 56, was sen-
tenced to at least six years
in 2010 for his role in a
scheme that used taxpayer
funds for election cam-
paigns and paying bonuses
to state employees who
helped those efforts. Veon
is now appealing a second
conviction prosecutors
secured earlier this year
when they accused Veon
and his district ofce
manager of diverting
state grant money from a
nonprot Veon ran for his
political benet.
Torres, 41, of
Tamarack Street,
Hazleton, was sentenced
in September to 16 to 32
years in prison on charges
he sexually assaulted a
teen girl over a three-year
period. Torres was found
guilty of the charges after a
June 2012 jury trial.
As a matter of policy,
still cameras and audio and
video recording equipment
will not be allowed in the
courtroom.

Syria
Obama offered no
details on what evidence
the U.S. might have,
but he said nobody dis-
putes or hardly anybody
disputes that chemical
weapons were used in
Syria against the civilian
population. He said the
U.S. has looked at all
the evidence and doesnt
believe the Syrian opposi-
tion possessed the type
of chemical weapons that
were used nor could it
have carried out the rock-
et attacks that delivered
the chemicals.
We have concluded
that the Syrian govern-
ment in fact carried these
out and, if thats so, there
needs to be international
consequences, he said,
adding that the U.S. is
consulting with allies and
the international commu-
nity.
The administration is
believed to be seeking a
targeted operation aimed
at the use of chemical
weapons, and not regime
change. Obama said he
had no interest in any
kind of open-ended con-
ict in Syria.
He acknowledged that
a targeted operation
wouldnt solve all the
problems inside of Syria,
but he added that if there
were repercussions to the
use of chemical weapons,
then the Assad regime
will have received a pretty
strong signal that, in fact,
it better not do it again.
The interview came
as the administration on
Wednesday signaled that
the U.S. is ready and will-
ing to take military action
against the Syrian regime
without authorization
from the United Nations
Security Council.
Obama said the U.S.
ultimately would like a
political solution to the
war in Syria. Were pre-
pared to work with any-
body, the Russians and
others, to try to bring the
parties together to resolve
the conict, he said.
HUD is aware of
Saturdays shooting at
Sherman Hills and has
been monitoring the situa-
tion, Wolfe said.
Applicants for HUD
funding are subject to
a criminal background
check, Wolfe said. Thus,
the key question is wheth-
er individual applicants are
in compliance.
HUD does have other,
more broad tools at its
disposal. The agency has a
contract with private com-
plexes, such as Sherman
Hills, to provide housing
for HUD-funding recipi-
ents. As part of that rela-
tionship, HUD does con-
duct periodic inspections
of the property, Wolfe said.
Basically, they are in
a contract with us to pro-
vide safe, decent, afford-
able housing, she said.
The inspections are more
general in nature than
security-oriented, Wolfe
said. The agency does take
note of security issues and
improvements, she said,
and will offer help and
advice on making appro-
priate improvements.
The most recent inspec-
tion was performed earlier
this summer, Wolfe said.
The report is still pend-
ing, but, Wolfe said, she
expected to see its conclu-
sions soon.
HUDofcials can choose
not to renew a contract
with a property, but that is
not a slow process, Wolfe
said, as the agency does
not want to leave residents
scrambling for a place to
live. Rather, the agency will
rst do as much as it can to
work with property owners
to correct and improve any
issues, Wolfe said.
One of the challenges
is, as in any community,
its tough to nd affordable
housing, she said.
Resident uneasy
For Sherman Hills resi-
dents, Saturdays incident
is just one more traumatic
experience and one that
leaves many leery about
talking with the stream of
reporters who have buzzed
around the complex seek-
ing quotes since the shoot-
ing.
Precious Brown, on the
other hand, wanted to be
heard. The 20-year-old said
she moved to Sherman
Hills more than a year ago
from Edwardsville. She
knew about its history, but
concerns about crime were
outweighed by other fac-
tors: It was closer to her
job, and she had friends and
family already living there.
This community? It is
nice. Its the drama that has
to stop, Brown said during
an interview outside the
complex.
Putting a fence around
the complex and admit-
ting visitors through a gate
would be one good step,
said Brown, who said that
residents generally arent
the problem. Its the peo-
ple that are coming in,
she added. Were good
people.
At the same time, the
violence is taking its toll.
Brown worries about her
relatives young children
in the wake of Saturdays
shooting, and she admits
that the complex probably
is not a place she would
want to raise a family.
My apartment is beauti-
ful. I love my apartment,
said Brown. But I would
like to leave here one day,
once my money situation is
stable.

CRIMES AT COMPLEX
The past two years have been rough ones at the
Sherman Hills apartment complex of Coal Street in
Wilkes-Barre. In November, the Times Leader reported
that fve people had been shot there in separate
incidents since June 6, 2012, including a city police
ofcer who was serving a warrant on Oct. 5.
This year began with an alleged drug suspect punching a
police ofcer following a trafc stop outside the complex.

HARRISBURG A state
judge has declined to inter-
vene in the growing issue of
boys playing sports tradition-
ally reserved for girls, saying
a previous court ruling does
not necessarily prohibit the
Pennsylvania Interscholastic
Athletic Association from ban-
ning the practice.
Commonwealth Court Judge
Kevin Brobson on Tuesday
turned down a request by the
PIAA to modify a landmark
1975 state court ruling that
required schools to let girls
play on boys teams.
If PIAA, as the primary
policymaking body for inter-
scholastic competition in the
Commonwealth, believes it is
appropriate to take action in
this area, then it should take
the rst step into the breach
and create a policy, Brobson
wrote. Only then, if that policy
is challenged in a court of law,
may its constitutionality be
evaluated.
A lawyer for the PIAA,
which has about 1,400 mem-
ber schools and some 350,000
student participants, said the
organizations board would like-
ly put the topic on its October
meeting agenda. If a new policy
is adopted, it would not take
effect for at least a year.
PIAA general counsel Alan
Boynton said the organization
was pretty satised with
Brobsons ruling. It wasnt
everything we wanted, but it
gives the PIAA the option of
doing what it thinks is appro-
priate, he said.
Boynton said some schools
do ban boys on girls teams,
while others do not. He said
member schools have been
pressuring the PIAA to address
the problem. The organization
does not plan to change the
ability of girls to play on boys
teams.
A Pittsburgh couple, law-
yers Mary and James Grenen,
sought to have the 1975 case
reopened last year after see-
ing what occurred in the high
school eld hockey games
involving their daughters. Field
hockey and volleyball are see-
ing the most boys competing
on girls teams, but it has also
occurred in swimming, soccer
and tennis.
Boynton said he has heard
one high schools girls volley-
ball team expects to have six
boys on its roster this fall. Nets
in girls volleyball are lower
than in boys volleyball.
The Grenens wrote in a May
ling that the increasing num-
bers of boys on girls teams
have made a mockery of some
high school sports.
The presence of boys com-
peting on all girls teams has
caused other students to show
up as spectators and mockingly
cheer them on thus render-
ing the entire game a joke
except that it is not a joke to
the girl who is sitting on the
bench, not playing, not getting
a varsity letter, or whose team

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
DEREK LEVARSE

A group of seniors
may have never had
such a tough act to fol-
low at Penn State. For
the leaders of the 2013
Nittany Lions, the key
is not worrying about it.
The situation isnt
nearly the same as the
one last years team
faced. And these seniors
arent going to try to
impersonate Michael
Mauti.
What the Lions do
have is four seniors in
particular who were
starters last season.
Linebacker Glenn
Carson enters his third
season starting at
middle linebacker and
leads the squad with 24
starts. Safety Malcolm
Willis (17 starts), guard
John Urschel (12)
and defensive tackle
DaQuan Jones (11) are
the other three.
And all of them
understand that their
teammates are looking
to them for guidance.
I enjoy it. A lot,
Willis said. I take pride
in it. Its denitely an
honor. As far as being
a leader, it really comes
easy just because Ive
been here so long. Ive
formed a bond with
most of the guys.
I have a special rela-
tionship with all the
DBs. Most guys look
up to me in a way that
makes me want to per-
form to the best of my
abilities and lead them
properly.
As they did last sea-
son, the Lions will have
individual game cap-
tains, with every senior
earning the designa-
tion at least once. The
team will then name
its season captains at
the end of November
before the nale against
Wisconsin.
Those experienced
seniors such as Willis,
however, will shoulder
much of the load dur-
ing the season, as they
already have during
winter workouts, spring
practice and training
camp.
While leadership
doesnt always come
easily, this group
hasnt struggled with it
because of how many
games the seniors have
appeared in.
For me, its some-
thing that comes natu-
ral, Jones said. Just
knowing we have to get
down and get to work
to get ready for season.
Other players know I
want to win, and were
going to be ready for
Aug. 31.
All four players were
pressed into duty back
in 2010. Willis stepped
in as a starter as a red-
shirt freshman when
Nick Sukay was side-

The BCS farewell tour is
about to begin.
Love it or hate it were
guessing there are far more in
the hating camp the system
for determining college foot-
balls national champion will be
mothballed after this season,
replaced by the new, aptly-
named College Football Playoff.
As farewells go, this one
has a chance to be a memo-
rable one, lled with intriguing
story lines, great players and
great teams, led by two-time
defending national champion
Alabama.
And, because this is the BCS,
we can probably expect plenty
of debate about what team
should be where in the rank-
ings.
This nal go-round starts on
Thursday, so heres a few things
to look for:
TOP TEAMS
Alabama. All those future
pros, an unappable quarter-
back, one of the games all-time
great coaches hard to pick
against the Crimson Tide mak-
ing it three straight titles.
Ohio State. The Buckeyes
went 12-0 in their rst season
under Urban Meyer, but were
tattooed out of the national title
game because of NCAA sanc-
tions. Theyre still loaded with
talented players.
Oregon. Dont expect any
drop-off under Mark Helfrich.
Chip Kelly left the cupboard
plenty full before leaving for the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Stanford. The defending
Rose Bowl champions are eye-
ing the big prize this season.
Texas A&M. Johnny
Manziel is good to go after the
NCAA looked into whether
he was paid for signing auto-
graphs.
Georgia. The Bulldogs have
to replace a few players on
defense, but their offense is
loaded with playmakers, led by
QB Aaron Murray.
TOP PLAYERS
Manziel, QB, Texas A&M.
The rst freshman to win
the Heisman Trophy, Johnny
Football may still have some-
thing to prove this year after a
difcult offseason.

HOUSTON Johnny
Footballs season will start a
little late.
Johnny Manziel was sus-
pended for the rst half of
Texas A&Ms opening game
against Rice on Saturday for
what the school called an
inadvertent violation of
NCAA rules by signing auto-
graphs.
The penalty appears to have
brought a quick end to an
investigation that could have
ruined the seventh-ranked
Aggies upcoming season.
The school issued a state-
ment Wednesday saying it
declared the Heisman Trophy
winner ineligible and that the
NCAA agreed to reinstate
Manziel after he sits out the
rst half against the underdog
Owls.
I am proud of the way both
Coach Sumlin and Johnny han-
dled this situation, with integ-
rity and honesty, Texas A&M
Chancellor John Sharp said in
the statement. We all take the
Aggie Code of Honor very seri-
ously and there is no evidence
that either the university or
Johnny violated that code.
The quarterback was being
investigated by the NCAA for
allegedly accepting money for
signing autographs for memo-
rabilia brokers, a violation of
NCAA rules that could have
led to a much longer suspen-
sion. ESPN rst reported the
allegations against Manziel
earlier this month.
According to the statement,
Texas A&M and the NCAA
conrmed there is no evi-
dence Manziel received money
in exchange for autographs
based on currently available
information and statements by
Manziel.
Conditions for reinstate-
ment include Manziel discuss-
ing his actions with teammates
and A&M revising how it edu-
cates student-athletes about
signing autographs.
Student-athletes are
often asked for autographs
from fans, but unfortunately,
some individuals sole motiva-
tion in seeking an autograph is
for resale, said Kevin Lennon,
NCAA vice president of aca-
demic and membership affairs.
It is important that schools
are cognizant and educate
student-athletes about situa-
tions in which there is a strong
likelihood that the autograph
seekerplanstoresell theitems.

NEW YORK Venus
Williams dug herself out
of decits over and over
again, until she simply
ran out of solutions, exit-
ing the U.S. Open before
the third round for the
third year in a row.
At 33, two-time cham-
pion Williams was the
oldest woman in the sec-
ond round at Flushing
Meadows, and while she
made things interesting
after a poor start to the
match and to the nal
set, she couldnt sustain
her solid play all the way
through and lost to 56th-
ranked Zheng Jie of China
6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5) on a wet
Wednesday.
The match last 3 hours,
2 minutes making
it the longest between
women in the tournament
so far and the third
set alone went 1 hours,
closing when Williams
missed a volley, then a
return, on the last two
points. She wound up
with 44 unforced errors
in all, half on forehands.
During her on-
court interview, Zheng
addressed the partisan
crowd that was pulling for
Williams, saying: First,
I want to say, Sorry,
guys.
Rain began falling in
the early afternoon, jum-
bling the schedule, and
eight womens singles
matches were postponed,
including Williams
younger sister, defending
champion Serena, against
Galina Voskoboeva. In all,
there were more than four
hours of delays during the
day, and 2012 mens win-
ner Andy Murray had
yet to play a point as the

second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday in New York.

JENNAFRYER
APAuto RacingWriter
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Greg
Zipadelli, crew chief both times
Tony Stewart ran the Indianapolis
500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the
same day, is no fan of the grueling
doubleheader.
Its a position he made clear
last October to
Danica Patrick
as she was trying
to put together
an Indy 500 deal
that would inter-
fere with her
rst full season
of Sprint Cup racing.
I think its the craziest thing
Ive ever heard, Zipadelli said
last year of Patricks desire to run
at Indianapolis. I lived through
it twice with one of the greatest
racers Ive ever seen, and trying
to run both of those races is just
stupid. She needs to focus on the
Cup car if thats what she wants to
do. If shes here to be in NASCAR,
then she needs to be here focused
on NASCAR.
Patrick heeded that advice
and halted her plans. Stewart,
the three-time NASCAR cham-
pion, also took a pass when Roger
Penske in December offered hima
ride in the 500.
Now Zipadelli has a new prob-
lem on his hands: Kurt Busch, the
newest addition at Stewart-Haas
Racing, said hes still trying to put
together a deal to run next years
Indianapolis 500 with Andretti
Autosport.
Its something thats still on
the table, Busch said Tuesday
when he was introduced at SHR.
Theres certain timelines that Ive
agreed to with Michael Andretti
if were still going to do the deal.
Were working on things.
Busch is also trying to put
something together to run the
IndyCar season nale at Fontana,
and said Stewart, his new boss at
SHR, wants to go to the race with
him if he does.
LABONTE INJURED: Bobby
Labonte broke three ribs in a bike
riding accident Wednesday near
his North Carolina home and will
miss this weekends NASCAR
race in Atlanta.
Aspokesman for the driver said
Labonte was taken to a hospital
by ambulance and will be held
overnight for observation.
Labonte was scheduled to
drive the No. 51 Chevrolet for
Phoenix Racing at Atlanta Motor
Speedway. Hell be replaced in the
car by Mike Bliss.
Labontes consecutive starts
streak came to an end earlier
this season at 704 races when
JTG Daugherty Racing used AJ
Allmendinger at Kentucky in June
instead of Labonte.
The 2000 NASCAR champion
had not missed a start since he
began racing full-time in the Cup
Series in 1993. Hes won 21 races
Cup races.
LAST SUPPER: Rodney
Childers called his last race for
Michael Waltrip Racing at Bristol
on Saturday night and was shown
the door this week over his deci-
sion to leave at the end of the sea-
son.
MWRreleased Childers as crew
chief for Brian Vickers this week
over his decision not to return
next season. Hes still under con-
tract until the end of the year,
and tweeted a photo of a lunch
Monday with his crew titled the
last supper.
MWR will use vice president
of competition Scott Miller as
crew chief for Vickers the rest of
the season, while team engineer
Billy Scott will take on addition-
al responsibilities with the car
setup. Childers is expected to join
Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014 as
crew chief for Kevin Harvick, but
SHR competition director Greg
Zipadelli said the deal isnt com-
plete.
I feel like were in a good spot,
but we dont have it done yet,
Zipadelli said. Hopefully in the
next week to 10 days it will be
done and ofcial.
MWR parting ways now with
Childers is not surprising since
manufacturer Toyota does not
want him to play a role in 2014
development knowing hes going
to work for a Chevrolet team.
YOUNG WINNER: Kyle
Benjamin became the youngest
winner in ARCA Racing Series
history when he won at Madison
International Speedway in
Wisconsin.
Benjamin, who turns 16 in
November, led 131 laps to win
Sunday by seven seconds in a
Venturini Motorsports car.
Its denitely the biggest
thing that has ever happened to
me, Benjamin said. Im ecstatic
right now. Im not going to sleep
tonight. Im not going to sleep.

MOOSIC Somebodys tak-
ing this IronRail Series seri-
ously.
So much so that J.R. Murphy
went off the rails.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
RailRiders catcher ripped
three extra-base hits and
scored four runs, including the
game-winner in the bottom
of the 12th inning to lift the
RailRiders over Lehigh Valley,
5-4 Wednesday at PNC Field.
With big stakes on the line
and their games against each
other winding down, the
Lehigh Valley IronPigs and
RailRiders went into extra
innings tied at 4-4 Wednesday
at PNC Field.
That was before Murphy
went chasing victory.
He drilled his second double
of the night into the left eld
corner to start the 12th, then
moved to third base on a wild
pitch. When the ball bounced
off the glove of Lehigh Valley
catcher Steven Lerud who
entered the game for injured
starter Cameron Rupp in the
sixth inning Murphy raced
home with the winning run.
It was the fourth run of the
night for Murphy, who powered
the victory with a homer and
two doubles.
That pulled the RailRiders
within a game of catching
Lehigh Valley in the season
series.
The IronPigs had the upper
hand coming in, holding a 7-5
advantage over the RailRiders
on the season while looking to
clinch at least a tie for the sea-
son series Wednesday.
Instead, Murphy helped pull
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre within
7-6.
The winner gets a trophy,
shaped like an iron railroad
track, and the teams have three
more games left one at PNC
Field tonight followed by sin-
gle games at Lehigh Valleys
Coca-Cola Park on Friday and
Saturday to decide the prize.
If the series ends in a tie, the
team that wins the nal game
between the teams gets to
claim the trophy.
These days, thats about
the only thing left for the
RailRiders to win.
At 65-73, theyre already
assured of a losing season and
were eliminated from the play-
off race with Tuesdays loss in
Pawtucket.
But the RailRiders werent
treating the nal week of the
season like a lost cause.
Instead, they treated
Wednesday as if three was a
charm.
Ronnier Mustelier ripped
three hits, Murphy had three
hits and Yoshinori Tateyama
pitched three strong innings to
get the RailRiders to the 11th
inning.
It started early, when Murphy
reached on a elders choice,
motored to third base on
Musteliers double and scored
when Adonis Garcia singled
behind second base to tie the
game 1-1 in the rst inning.
Murphy led off the third
inning with an impressive
blast over the catwalk in left
eld for his fth homer of the
season. Then Mustelier roped
his second double in as many
at-bats, and later scored on
Garcias one-out single for a 3-1
RailRiders lead.
It didnt last all that long,
because Lehigh Valley wasnt
anxious to sacrice the game.
The IronPigs scored their
rst run on a Freddy Galvis sac-
rice y in the rst inning. And
they got two more the same
way to tie the game in the fth
inning, when Galvis and Steve
Susdorf used sacrice ies to
even the game at 3-3.
The RailRiders pulled ahead
once again, when Murphy dou-
bled in the fth inning and later
scored on a grounder by Randy
Ruiz.
But the IronPigs tied it yet
again, when Galvis doubled
and Tyler Henson singled him
home in the seventh inning.
After that, Tateyama came
out of the bullpen for the
RailRiders and took complete
control.
He retired the rst seven bat-
ters he faced, and allowed just
one hit while striking out two
in three near-perfect innings.
That took the game to the
11th, when Matt Daley took
the mound and pitched a per-
fect frame.
Meanwhile, the RailRiders
went dead against Lehigh
Valleys bullpen. Following the
sixth, they managed just one
more hit through the next and
watched 13 straight batters go
down as the teams headed to
the 12th.
That gave Murphy a chance
to play the hero. And he seized
it by slamming his third extra-
base hit, then scoring his fourth
run of the game.

THE T.L. EXPRESS
Howdo you beat the bunt? With an
array of deep blasts. Lehigh Valley
had plenty of success playing small
ball, getting three bunt base hits and
another single on a swinging bunt. Two
of those bunt singles were well-placed
by Cesar Hernandez, and he scored
runs both times. The RailRiders found
an answer by blasting fve extra-base
hits. Ronnier Mustelier doubled twice
so did J.R. Murphy, and all four of those
two-baggers helped the RailRiders
score runs. Of course, the most
impressive shot came of the bat of
Murphy, who hammered a homer in the
third inning. Murphy also got the last
shot in, as he doubled and scored the
winning run that lifted the RailRiders to
a 5-4 victory in 12 innings.
RailRiders at the plate: The Red
Robin discount for fans came quickly,
as the RailRiders had a 10-hit night
before the ffth inning was over. Ronnier
Mustelier led the charge, ripping
doubles during his frst two at-bats to
begin his three-hit night. J.R. Murphy
blasted his ffth homer of the season,
later added two doubles and scored
four runs on the night. Adonis Garcia hit
a pair of singles and drove in a run with
each during his frst two at-bats.
RailRiders on the mound: Caleb
Cothamprobably deserved a better
fate than a no-decision after allowing
just one earned run, but the two others
he gave up were his own undoing.
Cothams two wild pickof throws,
both with Cesar Hernandez on frst
base, put the IronPigs in position to
score unearned runs in the frst and
ffth innings. David Herndon allowed
the tying run in the seventh inning
after the RailRiders had taken a 4-3
lead. Yoshinori Tateyama worked three
near-perfect innings, allowing just
one baserunner among the 10 batters
he faced. Matt Daley pitched perfect
innings in the 11th and 12th.

The Times Leader staf
lined after surgery. Carson
saw the eld in every
game as a true freshman.
Injuries on the defensive
line even had Jones play-
ing at end in the middle
of the season as a true
freshman. When a few
veterans were benched
for disciplinary reasons
before a game against
Indiana at FedEx Field,
Urschel got his rst start
as a redshirt freshman.
And all of them took
cues from the older play-
ers at their positions.
Jones, for example, had a
string of talented linemen
to look up to, including
a pair of NFL draft picks
in Devon Still and Jordan
Hill.
With Jordan and
Devon, both taught me so
many things, Jones said.
About the pass rush and
how to play fast. About
how to carry yourself off
the eld. (How to be) a
good kid. Dont get in
trouble. Dont go out.
Know the playbook.
Both on and off the
eld they were great
examples.
Now its their turn to
set those examples. A guy
like Urschel could have
even more responsibility
in the huddle as the Lions
break in a pair of rookie
quarterbacks.
Urschels advice for
them is straightforward.
To really be dedicat-
ed, Urschel said. A lot of
things they have on their
plate are from academics.
Its your rst fall on cam-
pus. Its a busy time of the
year. Its a hectic time.
The biggest thing is good
time management and
staying focused.
Fortunately, theyre
both great quarterbacks,
theyre both great guys.
They know all that
already.
Those lessons can carry
over to the rest of the
team. Carson in particu-
lar takes his role very seri-
ously in setting a standard
for the program to follow.
We demonstrate our
work ethic and how we
carry ourselves, Carson
said. Leaders have to
show how to carry them-
selves, how to present
themselves. Thats what
we do as leaders.
Its about how to be a
Penn State football play-
er.
force in college football
could become the rst
full-time defensive play-
er to win the Heisman.
A.J. McCarron, QB,
Alabama. He has as many
national titles (two) as loss-
es. Nuff said.
Marqise Lee, WR,
Southern California. One
of those threat-to-score-on-
every-touch guys.
KaDeem Carey, RB,
Arizona. Nations leading
rusher should continue to
thrive in Rich Rodriguezs
snap-before-theyre-ready
offense.
DeAnthony Thomas,
RB, Oregon. Possibly the
most dynamic player in the
country.
BESTGAMES
Alabama at Texas A&M,
Sept 14. Manziel hadthe sig-
nature game for his Heisman
resume by handing Alabama
its only loss of the season.
The Crimson Tide want pay-
back in a bad way.
Oregon at Stanford,
Nov. 7. The ultimate in con-
trasting styles could have a
huge impact on the national
championship race again this
year.
LSU at Alabama, Nov.
9. Another Game of the
Century? Maybe, but will
have national champion-
ship implications and fun to
watch no matter what.
Georgia at Clemson,
Saturday. The No. 5
Bulldogs and No. 8 Tigers
have two of the nations best
quarterbacks in Murray and
Tajh Boyd. The marquee
game of the opening week-
end should provide plenty of
reworks in Death Valley.
Notre Dameat Stanford,
Nov. 30. The Fighting Irish
won last years game in over-
time on a goal-line stand and
went on to the national title
game. The Cardinal had to
settle for the Rose Bowl
and will be looking for pay-
back at home.
Wisconsin at Arizona
State, Sept. 14. The
Badgers speed vs. the Sun
Devils power in an early-sea-
son test for teams that have
BCS bowl aspirations.
HOTSEATS
A handful of coaches head
into the season needing to
win a few games or they
could be looking for a new
job. Heres a few:
Randy Edsall,
Maryland. Hes won three
conference games in two
seasons since taking over for
popular Ralph Friedgen and
it wont get any easier with
the Terps headed to the Big
Ten after this season.
Lane Kifn, USC. Hes
been hamstrung through a
postseason ban and limited
scholarships fromthe Reggie
Bush-related sanctions, but
excuses have a limited shelf
life in the land of Troy, par-
ticularly after last seasons
ameout.
Mack Brown, Texas.
The Longhorns are 11-15 in
the Big 12 since playing for
a national title in 2009 and
have been ripped by rival
Oklahoma three straight
years. That wont y in
Austin for very long.
Bobby Hauck, UNLV.
A highly-successful coach at
Montana, hes struggled in
the move up to the FBS, win-
ning three games in each of
his three seasons.
Gary Pinkel, Missouri.
A move to the SEC could be
Pinkels undoing if the Tigers
dont start winning in their
newleague soon.
BESTNAMES
Run through college
football rosters across the
country and youll nd some
interesting names. Heres
some of the coolest we could
nd:
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix,
Alabama defensive back.
Taco Charlton, Michigan
defensive end.
Spiffy Evans, Boston
College receiver.
Cassanova McKinzy,
Auburn linebacker.
Thor Jozwiak, South
Florida offensive lineman.
Silverberry Mouhon,

Wednesday night.
The hall has moved from South Bend,
Ind., but the new building in downtown
Atlanta is still under construction and
scheduled to open in August 2014.
Atlanta was hosting its rst enshrine-
ment ceremony in a hotel ballroom adja-
cent to what will be a 94,256-square foot
museum that organizers believe will host
500,000 visitors a year.
Atlanta is home to the Southeastern
Conference championship game, the
Chick-l-A Bowl and the Chick-l-A
Kickoff Classic that this year matches up
No. 1 Alabama against Virginia Tech on
Saturday.
Other hall inductees included Steve
Bartkowski, Jonathan Ogden, Phillip
Fulmer and R.C. Slocum.

Liberty. Harrison, who wore No. 16
in college, is the fth Kent State player
to have his jersey retired, joining Jim
Corrigall, Hall of Famer Jack Lambert,
Eric Wilkerson and Josh Cribbs.
Freshmen to have impact for Irish
SOUTH BEND, Ind. No. 14 Notre

Jaylon Smith as a starting outside line-
backer. Six other freshmen are listed on
the depth chart: offensive tackles Steve
Elmer and Hunter Bivin ; recievers Corey
Robinson and James Onwualu, corner-
back Cole Luke, defensive end Isaac
Rochell and running back Greg Bryant.
Michigan St tabs Maxwell as QB
EAST LANSING, Mich. Fifth-year
senior AndrewMaxwell will be Michigan
States starting quarterback for Friday
nights opener against Western Michigan.
Coach Mark Dantonio praised all four
candidates for the job Tuesday, including
sophomore Connor Cook and freshmen
Tyler OConnor and Damion Terry.
All are listed as rst-team quarter-

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Titans coach
Mike Munchak knows hes in rare com-
pany.
Sure, hes one of 32 NFL head coach-
es. But hes also only the seventh Hall of
Fame player since the 1970 merger to
later work as a head coach in this league.
And Munchak has been in this league
long enough to know he has to win now
going into his third season with the
Titans coming off a 6-10 record.
This is my opportunity too,
Munchak said. Only so many guys get
an opportunity to do what Im doing. I
appreciate it greatly to be in this spot.
I dont want to let people down, and I
want to give it all Ive got.
He joined Raymond Berry, Mike
Ditka, Forrest Gregg, Art Shell and
Mike Singletary as Hall of Fame players
turned coaches when named the Titans
head coach Feb. 7, 2011. Dick LeBeau
is one of ve men who coached before
being inducted into the Hall of Fame
since the merger.
Ditka won a Super Bowl with the
1985 Chicago Bears, beating Berrys
New England Patriots. Gregg also won
an AFC championship with Cincinnati.
Only Ditka, Berry and Art Shell have
winning records as coaches. Singletary
took over in San Francisco with nine
games left in 2008 only to be red after
15 games in 2010.
Singletary now coaches lineback-
ers with Minnesota, and the Vikings
wrap up the preseason Thursday night
hosting Munchaks Titans. He took a
10-year break fromfootball before going
into coaching. Still, he found everyone
expected the Hall of Fame linebacker
would be a great coach, and Singletary
said its a tough job.
Youve got guys who were great
players who loved the game and guys
who were great players who didnt
particularly love the game of football
but had great talent and were success-
ful, Singletary said. For the guys that
played the game that loved the game, I
think theyll be successful. To me thats
really what it comes down to, because if
you love it then youre going to be will-
ing to do the work thats involved to be
the best that you can be.
Munchak ts that criteria.
He went fromPenn State straight into
the offensive line of the then-Houston
Oilers in 1982 as the No. 8 pick overall
and became a nine-time Pro Bowl guard
and a member of the NFLs All-Decade
Team for the 1980s. He retired after
1993 and became an assistant coach for
the Oilers in 1994. He was promoted to
offensive line coach in 1997, a job he
held through 2010.
Munchak has talked with fellow Hall
of Famers before about being position
coaches. The man who feels much more
comfortable in this job going into his
third season said he nally got a chance
to talk to Shell at the Hall of Fame cere-
monies last month about his transition.
He didnt give me any good tips
unfortunately, Munchak said.
Munchak has known what he wanted,
putting his stamp on the Titans build-
ing even down to rearranging photos
and a new timeline to better display
the teams long history. He nally feels
comfortable with his coaching staff
after hiring ve newassistants this year,
including Gregg Williams coming off
his suspension for his role in the Saints
bounty scandal.
You got to change your culture,
Munchak said. You want to do things
differently. It doesnt happen over-
night.
The roster also is a reection of
Munchak with a heavy investment in
the offensive line. The coach was a key
attraction for the veterans who signed
this offseason. Offensive lineman Chris
Spencer said he likes both Munchaks
charisma and attention to detail.
The small details, thats what helps
you win games, Spencer said. Hes
really good at getting guys on the same
page and making sure everybody under-
stands the importance of those small
details. I think hes going to be success-
ful a long time in this league.
Munchak has been criticized by
some fans who want more emotion
on game day. Center Rob Turner
played for Eric Mangini, Rex Ryan and
Fisher before signing with the Titans
this offseason, and he sees Munchak
a good balance of all those coaches.
He kind of maintains a calmdemean-
or that you need in a head coach that
only comes from having been earned
through the re of play, Turner said.

AP Pro Football Writer
DENVER Joe Flacco looms larger than life
in Denver, and not just because he engineered
the stunning upset of the Broncos in the play-
offs that propelled the Baltimore Ravens to the
Super Bowl title.
The leagues marketing campaign for next
weeks kickoff game features several large ban-
ners of Flacco uttering from lamp posts on
downtown streets and a giant one several
stories high that hangs at Sports Authority
Field alongside a banner of Broncos quarterback
Peyton Manning.
That has drawn an angry public reaction from
Broncos fans who have taken to Twitter and to
the streets to vent their frustration. One local
sportscaster used a Sharpie to draw a mustache
on a Flacco poster hanging along Denvers 16th
Street Mall, and covered another with tape.
Some fans have organized an online peti-
tion asking the league, which purchased the
advertising space from the Downtown Denver
Partnership, to remove the Flacco banners.
The Ravens visit Denver on Thursday for the
NFLs regular-season opener. Theyre the rst
champion to open on the road since the Super
Bowl team began hosting the leagues Thursday
night kickoff celebration 10 years ago.
In a radio interview this week, Manning ques-
tioned the placement of the Flacco banner on
the stadium, telling KOA 850 AM, the Broncos
radio afliate in Denver, It doesnt seem to
make much sense that the Denver Broncos have
to have an opposing player on their stadium.
We respect the fans passion and enthusiasm
for the game, said Brian McCarthy, NFL vice
president of corporate communications. This
will be in many ways a Super Bowl-like atmo-
sphere with a national audience to kick off the
season. Its a tremendous matchup, but built
around it is some of our activities that you would
see at a Super Bowl or youd see at an interna-
tional game where you promote both teams.
McCarthy noted that in the 2007 kickoff, there
were giant banners of Saints running back Reggie
Bush hanging alongside those of Manning, then
with the Colts, in Indianapolis. Last year, there
were subway lines named for Dallas QB Tony
Romo and Giants QB Eli Manning. And the year
before that, a huge banner of Saints QB Drew
Brees hung alongside one of Green Bays Aaron
Rodgers at an arena near Lambeau Field.
The difference is, this is the rst time the
giant banner of a player is hanging on the oppos-
ing teams stadium.
McCarthy reiterated that the league
wanted the defending Super Bowl champi-
ons to open at home, as is custom, but the
Baltimore Orioles wouldnt reschedule their
game, so the Ravens are opening on the road.

The NFL is promoting both teams for its annual Kickoff Game, putting up signage of both the Baltimore Ravens and the
Denver Broncos around Sports Authority Field at Mile High and downtown Denver. Along with a large posters of Peyton
Manning hangs a poster of Joe Flacco on the south side of the stadium.

The Associated Press
CALGARY, Alberta
One Staal brother is a
good bet to be on Canadas
Olympic hockey team next
February. Two others are
in the running.
Eric, Marc and Jordan
Staal from Thunder Bay,
Ontario, were among the
47 players invited to the
Olympic orientation camp
in Calgary that ended
Wednesday.
Its pretty surreal that
youre looking out with this
group of players and two of
them are your brothers,
Marc said.
The siblings wore the
rst initial of their rst
names along with the Staal
surname on the back of
their camp T-shirts. Its
possible three Canadian
jerseys will bear their name
at the Sochi Olympics in
February.
I think it would be
pretty special not only for
our family, but our home-
town of Thunder Bay in
general, Eric said. For
all three of us to have the
opportunity, its pretty cool
and something were all
striving to do.
Eric won hockey gold at
the 2010 Winter Games
in Vancouver. Barring
any setbacks from a knee
injury suffered at the world
championship in May, that
experience should give
the 28-year-old Carolina
Hurricanes captain lever-
age to wear the maple leaf
again.
Marc is a 26-year-old
New York Rangers defen-
seman. Jordan, 24, is
Erics teammate with the
Hurricanes after start-
ing his career with the
Pittsburgh Penguins.
A fourth Staal brother,
Jared, is a Hurricanes
prospect and played on a
line with Eric and Jordan
in a game last season. The
23-year-old forward has yet
to become a full-time NHL
player.
Jordan likes his old-
est brothers chances of
becoming an Olympian
again, but handicapping a
Staal trio in Sochi is dif-
cult.
I dont know if Id throw
a percentage on there,
but I think theres one of
us who is looking pretty
solid, Jordan said. I think
the other two are going to
have to do some work and
just have a great start to
the season.
Having three broth-
ers invited to orientation
camp works in their favor
for Olympic inclusion,
according to Eric.
Weve obviously had a
chance to be here at this
camp and see the way were
going to play and how the
team is expected to per-
form, he said. I think a
lot has to do with how the
next couple of months go
and where were at individ-
ually here in December.
Forwards Eric and
Jordan have the skating
and puck skills to excel
on the big ice. They were
Canadian teammates who
won gold at the 2007 world
championships and repre-
sented Canada again this
year in Stockholm.
Jordan has penalty-kill-
ing prowess and a scor-
ing touch that makes him
a short-handed scoring
threat.
Marc is a shut-down
defenseman with a long
reach. He won a pair of
gold medals at the world
junior hockey champion-
ships of 2006 and 2007.
But of the three brothers,
his chances of participat-
ing in the Winter Olympics
are murkier.
He suffered a small tear
in his right eye when the
puck struck him in the face
March 5. Marc missed 27
regular season games and
11 playoff games. The eye
wont be 100 percent, but
he doesnt believe it will
hinder his return to form.

PIAA
From page 1B
a varsity letter, or whose
team is losing because
of the boys playing on
the opposing team, they
wrote.
The attorney generals
ofce has repeatedly
argued that boys should
be allowed to play on girls
teams, saying in an April
ling that the state con-
stitutions Equal Rights
Amendment requires it.
The alleged sex differ-
ences and risk of injury
which the Grenens and the
PIAA have identied as a
basis for modifying the
(1975) injunction ignores
the purpose of the ERA,
and additionally, rely on
and perpetuate gender ste-
reotypes, wrote Senior
Deputy Attorney General
Sarah C. Yeager.
Mary Grenen said
Wednesday that the
Olympics, the NCAA and
most other states scho-
lastic sports organizations
separate competition by
gender.
The PIAA has said
in court lings that the
increasing numbers of
boys on girls teams has
skewed the competitive
balance and raised safety
issues.
The organization said
boys tended to outperform
girls as a class in competi-
tive sports. It cited last
years state cross-country
championship, where 505
of 674 boys nished before
the rst of 663 girls.
A survey conducted this
year, to which about half
the PIAA schools respond-
ed, indicated about three
in ve allow boys to play
on girls teams. Thirty-
eight schools said boys
had played eld hockey,
and they reported 13 inju-
ries.
Fourteen schools said
boys played girls vol-
leyball, eight said boys
played girls lacrosse, ve
said boys played girls soc-
cer and one had a boy on
the girls swim team and
one on the girls tennis
team.
By comparison, 104
schools said girls had
played football, 112 said
they wrestled and 34 said
they played boys soccer.
US Open
From page 1B
by early evening
men in the first round,
women in the second
2011 French Open cham-
pion Li Na, and 2012
Wimbledon runner-up
Agnieszka Radwanska
won in straight sets, as
did 30th-seeded Laura
Robson of Britain. No.
17 Kevin Anderson, No.
21 Mikhail Youzhny and
109th-ranked American
wild- card entry Tim
Smyczek were among
the mens winners.
Venus Williams and
Zheng, a former top-
15 player who twice
reached Grand Slam
semifinals, played all of
two points at the begin-
ning before their match
was interrupted by
showers.
When they resumed
about two hours later,
at 15-all in the opening
game, Williams play
was full of mistakes. In
the first set, she only
managed to put 46 per-
cent of her first serves
in play, and she accu-
mulated 15 unforced
errors, 10 more than
Zheng. The American,
who owns seven Grand
Slam singles titles in all,
failed to convert any of
six break points, while
losing serve twice.
And then came the
second set, and a sig-
nificant shift. Suddenly,
Williams looked a lot
more like the player
who won the U.S. Open
in 2000 and 2001.
After falling behind by
a break in the third set,
and being two points
away from losing at
5-3, when Zheng served
for the victory, then
again in the next game
Williams put up quite
a fight to extend the
match, drawing raucous
support from clapping,
yelling and standing
fans at Louis Armstrong
Stadium. With a drizzle
coming down, and play
halted on other courts,
Williams and Zheng
stayed out there and
kept going.
Zheng grabbed a 4-1
lead in the tiebreak-
er, before Williams
made one last stand. It
was 4-all after Zheng
dumped a forehand into
the net on a 23-stroke
exchange, then leaned
over at the baseline,
resting on her racket as
if it were a cane.
Then, at 5-all,
Williams put a backhand
volley into the net as
she lost her footing and
sat on the court, winc-
ing. That gave Zheng
her first match point,
and Williams backhand
service return was off
the mark, ending her
stay in the singles draw.
Williams was ranked
No. 1 in 2002, but she
last was a member of
the top 10 when she
was No. 9 in March
2011, and shes current-
ly 60th. The last time
she made it beyond the
third round at a Grand
Slam tournament was
a fourth-round appear-
ance at Wimbledon that
season.
At the 2011 U.S.
Open, Williams with-
drew before her second-
round match, announc-
ing she had been diag-
nosed with an autoim-
mune disease that saps
energy. She lost in the
second round in New
York last year. And her
results have faded more,
with losses in the first
round at two her previ-
ous four trips to major
tournaments, including
at the French Open in
May.

PETE CALDERA
The Record (Hackensack, N.J.)
TORONTO New York Yankees
All-Star second baseman Robinson
Cano had his left hand wrapped
and hoped to play by Friday. But his
understudy, Eduardo Nunez, was a
late scratch Wednesday night due to
right knee soreness.
Enter Mark Reynolds.
With only three innings of big-
league experience at second base,
Reynolds started at the position in
the Yankees series nale against the
Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
Im comfortable there, Reynolds
said late Tuesday after lling in for
one inning defensively at second in a
7-1 Yankees win. I came up (at sec-
ond base), played in the (Arizona)
Fall League there.
Now a corner inelder and primar-
ily a rst baseman, Reynolds played
25 games at second base in the minor
leagues. Hed never previously start-
ed a major league game there.
Whatever they need, Ill be ready
to go, Reynolds said.
Well, they needed him.
Cano wore a heavy wrap on his
left hand, having been hit by Toronto
lefty J.A. Happs rst-inning fastball
Tuesday night.
Our hope is we get him back in
the lineup by Friday, said Yankees
manager Joe Girardi.
X-rays on Canos hand were nega-
tive Tuesday and he was diagnosed
with a contusion. Cano was replaced
in rst inning by Nunez, who later
exited with his own injury.
With Nunez moving defensively
on a single by Jose Reyes, his spike
caught in the articial turf and he
went down in a heap, writhing in
pain.
Nunez nished the inning and sin-
gled in the ninth, only to be replaced
by a pinch runner.
Though Nunez was still sore
Wednesday, Girardi penciled him into
the lineup but wanted to see Nunez
go through pregame drills that includ-
ed running and elding. Girardi felt
Nunez was 50-50 to play.
I dont want it to get worse during
the game, Nunez said before being
scratched. I want to make sure I can
play.

Job prospects
improve in US
Unemployment rates fell in two-
thirds of large U.S. metro areas in July,
a sign of widespread improvement in
the job market.
The Labor Department said
Wednesday that unemployment rates
fell in 239 of the nations 372 largest
cities in July from June. Rates rose in
103 and were unchanged in 30.
The U.S. unemployment rate fell last
month to a 4-year low of 7.4 percent.
Thats down from 7.6 percent in June.
Employers added 162,000 jobs. Thats
enough to lower the unemployment
rate but below the average monthly
gain of 192,000 this year.
Fewer cities are reporting unusually
high unemployment rates. Forty-one cit-
ies reported a rate above 10 percent last
month, down from 67 a year earlier.
At the same time, 34 cities had
unemployment rates below 5 percent,
nearly double the 18 in July 2012.
Realtors report dip
in home sales
Fewer Americans signed contracts
to buy U.S. homes in July, but the level
stayed close to a 6-year high. The mod-
est decline suggests higher mortgage
rates have yet to sharply slow sales.
The National Association of Realtors
says its seasonally adjusted index for
pending home sales declined 1.3 per-
cent to 109.5. Thats close to Mays
reading of 111.3, which was the high-
est since December 2006.
The small decline suggests sales
of previously owned homes should
remain healthy in the coming months.
There is generally a one- to two-month
lag between a signed contract and a
completed sale.
Nintendo to discount
Wii U video system
Nintendo Co. announced Wednesday
that it is cutting the price of its Wii U
video-game system as it braces for the
fall release of competing consoles from
Sony and Microsoft.
Nintendo will reduce the price of
the Wii U deluxe set from $349.99 to
$299.99, effective Sept. 20. The com-
pany will also release a Wii U bundle
featuring The Legend of Zelda: The
Wind Waker HD, a remake of the
2003 game, that will also be available
Sept. 20 for $299.99.
The Wii U has struggled to nd an
audience. Nintendo sold 3.61 million
of the consoles between the Wii Us
launch last November and the end of
June. The company aims to sell 9 mil-
lion Wii U units over the scal year
through March 2014.

CHICAGO Hundreds of
black nancial advisers have
reached a $160 million settle-
ment in a lawsuit accusing
Wall Street brokerage giant
Merrill Lynch of racial dis-
crimination, a plaintiffs attor-
ney said Wednesday.
If approved by a federal
judge in Chicago as expected,
the payout by Merrill Lynch
to around 1,200 plaintiffs
would be one of the largest
ever in a racial discrimination
case, Chicago-based attorney
Suzanne E. Bish said.
Merrill Lynch, which was
purchased by Bank of America
in 2009, released a statement
Wednesday saying only, Were
not at this point commenting on
the existence of the settlement
nor the status of a settlement.
The primary plaintiff, George
McReynolds, alleged a pattern
of discrimination that resulted
in blacks having lower produc-
tion than white men at the com-
pany. McReynolds, of Nashville,
Tenn., is still employed at
Merrill Lynch, Bish said.
Bish said the settlement
should force changes beyond
the company singled out as the
defendant in the eight-year-old
lawsuit. They are leaders on
Wall Street, she said. And
increasing opportunities for
African-Americans at Merrill
Lynch should spill over to the
rest of Wall Street.
The settlement coincides
with the 50th anniversary of
Martin Luther King Jr.s I
Have a Dream Speech, Bish
noted. She said she hopes the
case will help ensure the kind
of equal opportunity King
spoke about in Washington,
D.C.
Im getting goose bumps
thinking about it, she said
about the coincidence that the
settlement came around the
anniversary. What (the plain-
tiffs) wanted to achieve was
the same opportunities for the
next generation for their
children.
When attorneys led the law-
suit in 2005, McReynolds was
the loan plaintiff, though hun-
dreds of others signed on as the
suit wound its way through the
court, at times appearing as if
it might be doomed.
U.S. District Judge Robert
Gettleman had denied the
suit class-action status. But
the Court of Appeals for the
Seventh Circuit in Chicago
granted the status in 2012
reviving the case and vastly
extending its reach.
The black brokers at Merrill
Lynch claimed they were sys-
tematically steered away from
the most lucrative assignments.
Consequently, under a com-
pensation system emphasizing
production, they couldnt earn
what white counterparts made.
Black brokers prevail in suit

BRATTLEBORO, Vt.
The announcement that the
Vermont Yankee nuclear plant
is closing brought cheers from
nuclear critics and anguish
from the plants defenders, but
a new ght is brewing over
how long its owners should be
given to dismantle the reactor.
Entergy Corp.s announce-
ment Tuesday means
Vermonts lone nuclear plant
will shut down at the end of its
current fuel cycle, going dark
by the end of 2014 and begin-
ning a decommissioning pro-
cess that could take decades.
Ofcials including Gov.
Peter Shumlin and Jerry
Goldberg, executive director
of the Brattleboro Chamber of
Commerce, said a rst order
of business would be helping
the plants 630 employees nd
new work when it shuts down
in October 2014.
Replacing it isnt the right
word, Goldberg said. I think
its reinterpreting how this
community works.
Raymond Shadis of the
nuclear watchdog group New
England Coalition and senior
elected ofcials in Vermont
also pointed to a likely big new
ght to come over decom-
missioning. Thats the process
by which reactor components
are allowed to cool and then
are removed, with the site
being restored to something
like its pre-nuclear state.
Entergy CEO Leo Denault
said that if the federal Nuclear
Regulatory Commission
agrees, when it closes, the
plant will be placed in safe-
store, in which federal regula-
tions allow it to be mothballed
for up to 60 years while its
radioactive components cool
down before removal.
But Sen. Bernie Sanders,
the left-leaning independent
from Vermont, was among
those saying, as he put it,
Entergy must go through a
decommissioning process as
soon as possible. He and Sen.
Patrick Leahy said they would
push the NRC to require the
job to be done promptly.
The announcement of the
closing followed what might
have been the most pitched
and protracted battle over any
nuclear plant in the country.
During the 41 years since
Vermont Yankee split its rst
atoms on the bank of the
Connecticut River in Vernon
in the states southeast corner,
Vermont grew into a bastion of
left-leaning politics, hippie capi-
talists such as ice cream makers
and craft brewers and organic
gardeners, with one of the most
vocal and sometimes effec-
tive collection of anti-nuclear
groups in the country.

Fast-food customers in
search of burgers and fries
today might run into strik-
ing workers instead.
Organizers say thousands
of fast-food workers are set
to stage walkouts in dozens
of cities around the country,
part of a push to get chains
such as McDonalds, Taco
Bell and Wendys to pay
workers higher wages.
Its expected be the larg-
est nationwide strike by
fast-food workers, accord-
ing to organizers. The big-
gest effort so far was over
the summer when about
2,200 of the nations mil-
lions of fast-food workers
staged a one-day strike in
seven cities.
Todays planned walkouts
follow a series of strikes
that began last November
in New York City, then
spread to cities includ-
ing Chicago, Detroit and
Seattle. Workers say they
want $15 an hour, which
would be about $31,000 a
year for full-time employ-
ees. Thats more than dou-
ble the federal minimum
wage, which many fast-food
workers make, of $7.25 an
hour, or $15,000 a year.
The move comes amid
calls from the White
House, some members of
Congress and economists
to hike the federal mini-
mum wage, which was last
raised in 2009. But most
proposals seek a far more
modest increase than the
ones workers are asking
for, with President Barack
Obama wanting to boost it
to $9 an hour.

LEE SVITAK DEAN
Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
You love the new restaurant and
want the world to know.
So you log into Yelp to spread the
message. And thats where words fail
you.
The food was great.
Well, thats not going to convince
me or others to head to the restau-
rant anytime soon.
Hanna Raskin has come to the res-
cue of would-be critics with her new
book on reviewing, Yelp Help: How
to Write Great Online Restaurant
Reviews. (Not sure what Yelp is? Its
an online forum where everyday peo-
ple critique food, shopping and other
businesses; nd it at yelp.com.)
As a longtime restaurant review-
er in a variety of locales, most
recently Seattle, she has read her
share of uninspired, inarticulate
comments on Yelp, TripAdvisor and
other online sites.
I think what happens frequent-
ly is that Yelpers use Yelp as a
comment card rather than as a
review, Raskin said in an interview.
You may be unhappy that your
server disappeared for 20 minutes,
or that there was a smudge on the
tablecloth. But the reality is that this
may not recur for anyone else.
Better to focus on what oth-
ers will experience as
diners, Raskin said.
That means writers
need to park their
egos at the door and
not focus on their
singular experi-
ence.
In a concise 99
pages, Raskin offers
tips for the citi-
zen reviewer, as she
breaks down the pro-
cess of the comments, from
its introductory approach to the
information that should follow, in all
its good and bad variations.
Theres more, including a
brief history of reviewing and a
denition of the folks at work
behind and in front of the
restaurant scene.
Hers is a solid primer, with many
examples of reviews that sink
or soar.
When I rst started
reviewing, I didnt know
what I was doing.
There wasnt a text-
book on this, Raskin
said. Within the
journalism world,
reviewers often
learned from their
peers.
But a lot of people
are getting started out-
side the traditional
food-writing communi-
ty, said Raskin, whose
book may become
just-the-right text
for the at-home
critic.
The book is also
worthwhile for blog-
gers and students, or
anyone who wants to
expand skills of critical
analysis.
While some
professional reviewers ignore
Yelp because of its populist commen-
tary, Raskin embraces it, though not
for the opinions.
She uses the forum as a research
tool, a way to discover unfamiliar
restaurants or neighborhoods,
or to nd menu items that she
will check out on her own as a
reviewer. It was a serious
Yelper, in fact, (her friends
father, who Yelps often
and thoughtfully) who
inspired the book.
Yelp is a great
starting point. A lot
of communities dont
have reviewers, so
Yelp can be a rst look
at restaurants, she
said.
So who was the
earliest reviewer? The
rst collection of commentary
was published in 1803 and sold a
shocking 20,000 copies for French
critic Alexandre Balthazar Laurent
Grimod de La Reyniere. Duncan
Hines, a traveling salesman, was the
rst American reviewer.
His expansive notes on restaurant
sanitation took reviewing in a
different direction in 1935. Online
reviewers didnt invent snark, but
they found a home at Yelp in 2005.
As for Raskin, shes headed to
a new reviewing position at the
Charleston, S.C., Post and Courier,
where she has one agenda in mind: I
plan to eat a lot.
Yelp Help is available as an
e-book ($2.99 from amazon.com,
iBooks and Kobo and other online
outlets) and in print form ($5.99;
online and in bookstores).

Get pumped for newpants
Move over, dresses; guess whats back?
SAMANTHA CRITCHELL
AP Fashion Writer
NEW YORK Pants are always popular,
especially with real women and real lives to
lead, but they rarely spark a lot of excite-
ment. What can you do with two legs and a
waistband, after all?
More than you think, responds the fashion
industry this fall.
Pants feed back into the overarching idea
of personal style, says Samira Nasr, fashion
director at Elle magazine. There really is a
choice in how adventurous do you want to
be.
She adds: Pants are the go-to because
they are the most comfortable thing, they
look good, and they are a functional gar-
ment. Women can go about their day and feel
dressed.
Still, can you get the compliments with
pants that you always seem to receive when
you wear a new dress?
Absolutely, says designer Nanette Lepore:
Find your fit and a good tailor, and the kind
words will come.
A teenager or even a young 20-something
who probably mostly wears jeans or shorts
has never really lived through a high-fashion
pants moment, she says. This is her chance.
She can break away from leggings or skin-
ny jeans or at least try them in prints
and she should try the relaxed track-pant
silhouette that has broken out as a trend,
says Lepore, who designs a youthful line
for JCPenney called LAmour.
Its going to be a little bit of a leap for
her, but shes going to get the coolness
of them.
I have them on today, Lepore
said. I wear them with a nice peas-
ant top I decided to mix it with
something soft and feminine
but most girls will wear it with a
simple T-shirt. But I wanted to
move it to a new place if were
going to make it our new go-to
pant.
For a more sophisticated
customer, shed recommend
clean, slim-leg trousers
paired with a tailored suit
jacket.
I really think the suit
could be the new dress,
she said.
And Lepore says
higher waistbands are on
the way.
As for the wide-leg option,
its out there, especially a
cropped style that landed on
Nasrs radar after previews
of the resort collections that
will be available around the
holidays.
She predicts there will
be even more of them next
spring but adds that theyre
an acquired taste and wont
be for everyone.
Lepore says women just
love skinny pants. We will
put other things on the
runway, like that soft pant,
which morphed into a
cargo pant, but I dont see
a flared leg coming back
anytime soon.
The jumpsuit, however,
is ripe for a return, says
designer Abi Ferrin,
who spent three years
|retooling the silhouette
to create one she thought
would work for her own
more curvy shape.
Ferrin is better known
for her dresses, but
she really wanted the
jumpsuit in her
repertoire. Her
newest twist for fall is a
jumpsuit with the genie-
style, cinched-bottom
ankle.
It seems scary until you try
it on, but you put it on, and put
on a tall shoe, and it looks great,
Ferrin says.
Its work upfront, but its one
and done. You get the ease of
pants, but all you have to do is
add earrings and a cuff bracelet.
But trying on pants is
something many women dread,
says Devina Foley, vice president
of merchandising at retailer Loft.
Shes been dubbed the pants whis-
perer inside the company as she
has worked with chief style direc-
tor Alia Ahmed-Yahia to overhaul
the design, fit and overall shopping
experience for pants.
There are a lot of women who
need to hire a baby sitter because
they know its going to take
them so long to get pants,
Foley says.
It doesnt have to be that
way; it could be a five-minute
transaction, she pledges.
The last time pants were
a must-have for the impor-
tant fall shopping season
was about five years
ago, and there has been
improvement in fabric
technology since then.
There are good
options with some
wool and some cotton
but all with stretch
that will allow for
some drape but still
have a smoothing
effect, Foley says.
At Loft, the
waistband also has
become a little wider
to create the look of
a flatter middle, and
the side seam down
the leg has been moved
forward slightly so the
front looks slimmer.
When shoppers find
a pant they like, they
buy multiples, she
says, which they dont
do when its a dress or
a skirt.
Why? Part of it is
loyalty to a flattering
pant, she says, though its
not as exciting as a cool
printed shirt or expensive-look-
ing necklace.
Its not the pant itself,
its what happens around the
pants a sliver of the midriff
showing on top, great shoes or
accessories that youll talk about
but you remember where you
got your favorite pair of pants,
Nasr says.
She says you need that perfect
basic canvas. I take comfort in
the fact that a great pair of pants
is a great pair of pants.
This relaxed track-printed pant is from
JCPenneys youthlinecalledLAmour.
So you want to be a food critic? Heres some Yelp help
AVOID THE PITFALLS
A good review takes effort and precision. How do your reviews rate?
Raskin offers eight errors to avoid:
1. The underreported review: Accuracy matters. So do details.
2. The cliched review: Watch your words. If youre falling back on
delectable, delish or sinful, you need to hit the refresh button.
3. The avorless review: Describing food as having lots of avor is
unspecic.
4. The worst review ever! Saying that anything is the best ever (or
worst ever) is not only unuseful, but likely untrue.
5. The one-sided review: Acknowledge both the good and the bad
about a restaurant, or readers may question your conclusions and
motive.
6. The impressionist review: Use specics rather than broad general-
izations. Instead of saying a restaurant was overpriced, for example, say
what the prices were.
7. The emotional review: Portraying an overly positive or overly neg-
ative experience isnt meaningful to the online reader, who is unlikely to
have the identical experience.
8. The egotistical review: Avoid relying too much on where you were
born as your expertise, as in I know Scandinavian food because I grew
up in Minnesota. Well, maybe you do, and maybe you dont.

MAGGIE NEIL
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
It took Williams-
Sonoma one day to sell
as many chicken coops
as the high-end retailer
had projected to sell in a
month.
Once pigeon-holed as
dirty, noisy fowl, these
birds have a new reputa-
tion: Chicks are chic.
The trend has been a
hit in urban and suburban
neighborhoods around
the country, especially
in the past several years.
BackyardChickens.com,
an online forum dedicated
to all things chicken-rais-
ing, adds about 200 new
members every day. The
online hatchery (it also
sells coops and related
gear) MyPetChicken.com
was on the 2012 Inc. 5000
list of fastest-growing
companies.
Now retailers such as
Williams-Sonoma are
cashing in on consumer
demand.
In April 2012, the com-
pany launched Agrarian,
a line designed to sat-
Chicken coops are nowall kinds of chic
isfy Americans canning,
beekeeping and other
homesteader needs.
It included an array
of very good-looking
though not exactly cheap
chicken coops.
The most popular one,
the Alexandria Chicken
Coop & Run, ranges from
$599.95 to $1,449.95,
depending on the size.
If youre in for a splurge,
try the $1,499.95 Cedar
Chicken Coop with
Planter. For the extra
$50, you get a large coop
equipped with a drain-
age system and a planter
ready to ll with soil and
plants.
Allison OConnor, vice
president of merchandis-
ing, is the brains behind
Agrarian.
She said she included
coops in Agrarian because
she felt there were no
beautiful coops made in
the United States.
But the American
chicken craze is denitely
homegrown, experts say.
It started in the 1980s
with Martha Stewart,
self-professed chicken fan
Susan Orlean wrote in her
2009 New Yorker piece,
The It Bird. After visit-
ing a commercial hatchery
and deploring the living
conditions of its chickens,
Stewart began keeping
them in her backyard. Her
Americauna hens became
famous for their pastel
blue and green eggs, and
Stewart herself was so
inspired that she created
a paint line based on the
colors.
Orlean also credits the
slow-food and locavore
movements.
More people want to
take control of what they
eat and are making their
own food, said Svetlana
Simon, farmer and found-
er of Heritage Hen Farm
in Boynton Beach, Fla.
Simon believes this
desire transcends social
status.
Even the wealthy want
to get their hands in the
dirt (or clean chicken
poop) if it means fresh
food.
Simon, who was an
architect before she
began farming, designed
Beau Coop, the $100,000,
Versailles-inspired hen
house featured in Neiman
Marcus 2012 fantasy
Christmas list.
It isnt just a coop:
theres a living room, a
broody room, a nesting
room.
Theres a library for
humans to put their gar-
dening books and an iPod
charger.
Included in the hefty
price tag are 10 heritage
hens; Simon will hand-
pick the exact breed
according to the cli-
mate of their new home.
She also will meet twice
with the new chicken-
raisers to eliminate the
learning curve.
The truth is, some-
times it takes someone
with excessive revenue
and means to help change
the way people think, she
said.
It certainly hasnt hurt
that the ranks of celebrity
chicken raisers include
Hollywood A-listers
Jennifer Aniston, Ellen
Pompeo and Reese
Witherspoon.
With its Agrarian line,
Williams-Sonoma is not
only responding to a trend
but broadening the mar-
ket appeal of DIY home-
steading, Ms. OConnor
said.
We are a resource
point, she added, point-
ing to the long list of how-
to books, accessories, and
tools to make backyard
farming both accessible
and beautiful.
In addition to a
coop, chicken raisers
might want an Amish
Handcrafted Egg Basket
($44.95), a Reclaimed
Artisan Chalkboard
($39.95) or perhaps a
package of Probiotic Egg
Boost ($15.95).
We felt strongly we
didnt want to be in plas-
tic, OConnor said.
Agrarian is made and
designed entirely in the
United States.
OConnor said she trav-
els coast to coast, scour-
ing farmers markets and
local fairs, and pores over
Internet sites trying to
nd artisans and small
businesses that might like
to partner with Williams-
Sonoma.
At the end of the day,
she concludes, Its a life-
style choice.
More people want to take control of what they eat and are
making their own food.

LONDON Forget
Mad Men modernism.
This seasons style is all
about the Edwardian opu-
lence of Downton Abbey.
Millions around the
world have been seduced
by the strait-laced but styl-
ish world of the British
historical drama. Soon
theyll be able to take some
of that style home, getting
lips as soft as Lady Marys,
wine inspired by Lord
Granthams favorite tipple
and even walls as gray
as Mrs. Patmores kitchen.
Since it premiered in
2010, the series about the
family and servants of a
grand English house in
the 1910s and 1920s has
become a television jugger-
naut, sold to 220 territories
around the world.
The programs makers
have arguably been slow
to exploit the commercial
potential of that popular-
ity through merchandis-
ing, selling little more than
DVD sets, wall calendars
and desk diaries. But that
is about to change. Along
with the fourth season
starting on British TV
next month, and on PBS in
January, comes a range of
merchandise that includes
a board game, homewares,
clothes, beauty products,
and even Downton wine.
All in the best possible
taste, of course.
We havent rushed into
it, executive producer
Gareth Neame told The
Associated Press this week.
We dont want to carpet
bomb the retail sector.
In keeping with the pro-
grams posh-frothy image,
the products being rolled
out aim to be quirky rather
than kitschy.
This fall, British retail
chain Marks &Spencer will
sell a Downton Abbey
beauty line, including
soap, nail polish, lip gloss,
lotion and scented candles.
The items are whimsically
packaged and adorned
with quotations from the
series, including the advice
offered by Maggie Smiths
Dowager Countess of
Grantham in the rst epi-
sode: No one wants to kiss
a girl in black.
Downton merchandis-
ing in the U.S. and Canada
is handled by Knockout
Licensing, which has
struck deals for a jewelry
range from Danbury Mint
and Downton-themed
Christmas ornaments from
Kurt Adler both going
on sale later this year.
It also has a licens-
ing agreement with
gurine manufacturer
Bradford Exchange, rais-
ing fans hopes for a range
of Downton dolls
Scheming Thomas and
Admirable Bates, perhaps.
North American fans also
can soon drink Downton
Abbey wine, marketed
by Wines That Rock, the
California company behind
Rolling Stones 40 Licks
Merlot and Pink Floyds
Dark Side of the Moon
Cabernet Sauvignon. The
Downton red is a genteel
departure for the rm, a
French claret reminiscent
of those favored by the
early 20th-century British
aristocracy.
Cele Otnes, a profes-
sor of marketing at the
University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign, says
the richly detailed world of
Downton Abbey is key to
viewers intense bond with
the show.
She likens it to Mad
Men Its not just a
television program, its
really an aesthetic and
cites reported rises in sales
of cravats, waistcoats and
sherry as evidence of a
Downton-driven appetite
for Edwardian elegance.
Its that whole thing
about presenting a life-
style, she said. We get
in the house, we get inside
these characters lives. We
see inside their bedrooms,
their bathrooms, their kitch-
ens. We can absorb our-
selves not only in the story,
which is compelling, but in
the details of their lives.
DowntonAbbey enters the merchandise fray

Sophie McShera and Phyllis Logan, cast members in the Masterpiece series Downton Abbey, take
part in a panel discussion on the show at the PBS Summer 2013 TCA press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Millions around the world have been seduced by the strait-laced but stylish, old-fashioned but opulent
world of the British drama. Soon theyll be able to take some of that style home.
No detail is too small for
emulation down to the
paint on the abbey walls.
Mylands, the London-
based paint company that
supplies the show with his-
torically accurate pigments,
recently began marketing
two of its Downton tones
to the public Amber
Gray, the color of the down-
stairs kitchen overseen by
cook Mrs. Patmore, and
Empire Gray, which adorns
Mr. Carsons butlers pantry.
Thesearenotjustanygrays.
They are Downton grays.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: While
I was out of town,
my husband, Miles,
ran into his high
school girlfriend
at a party hosted
by good friends of
ours. She has been
through a bad divorce, and Miles
insists his desire to keep in touch
with her is merely concern for a
dear friend. Until I put a stop to it,
he was calling her every night, talk-
ing with her for at least an hour at
a time. He said there was nothing
more to it.
I have now insisted that he call
her only once a week and in my
presence. Hes complying, but it
distresses me to hear him enjoy
the conversation so much. Miles
truly cares about her and she
makes him laugh. He says he loves
only me and will never leave me.
Hes a good man and I believe him,
but ...
How should I handle this? I dont
want to forbid him to talk to her,
but I am feeling very insecure.
Am I foolish to let their contact
continue? We have been married
30 years.
Threatened in Kentucky
Dear Threatened: Tell your husband
you know he loves you, has good
morals and would never leave you,
but that you feel intimidated by his
renewed relationship with his high
school sweetheart. Tell him you
know he is kindhearted, but for
YOUR mental health to please con-
sider winding down these conversa-
tions. And it would be a kindness
for him to recommend a counselor
to his friend to help her resolve her
issues.
Dear Abby: Im 27 and the mother
of a 6-year-old boy. I kiss him on the
mouth and never thought twice about
it until today, when my husband told
me its creepy that I do it at my
sons age.
In my family we have always kissed
on the mouth, and I still kiss my
mother this way. Is it weird or inap-
propriate? I didnt think so, but now
Im concerned.
Smoochy in Tacoma, Wash.
Dear Smoochy: Did you also
kiss your father on the mouth?
Different families have different
customs, and if your husband spent
much time around your family he
should have noticed that. I dont
see anything weird or inappropriate
about the way you kiss your child.
If your son reaches an age where it
makes him uncomfortable, Im sure
hell let you know.
Dear Abby: I work in customer ser-
vice and have noticed that more than
half the people who write in abruptly
end their emails with Please advise.
To me, it seems rude and demand-
ing. I feel that if a question has
already been asked, there is no need
to follow up with this phrase. What
is the proper etiquette for using this
phrase?
Offended in New Jersey
Dear Offended: There is no rule of
etiquette pertaining to the use of the
phrase please advise. Many indi-
viduals who write to me for advice
end their letters that way. Its not of-
fensive; it simply means the person is
asking for a reply.

is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
know youre truly at home when
you dont feel you need to worry
about what value you are adding
to the situation. Your value is
inherent.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There
is nothing wrong with pleasure-
seeking. In fact, it may be the
very best thing you could seek
today. It will make life more
enjoyable for you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The com-
petition is on. Its not formal,
organized or obvious, but its
happening. And the rules are a
little foggy. Just know that youll
be judged on originality.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
need your space, especially in
the morning. It would be ideal
if people avoided you (and you
them) until after youve had
plenty of time to handle the
work that was left over from
yesterday.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The rules of
science and social science are
often named after the people
who discovered them. If you
were responsible for a principle,
what would it be?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When
the orthodox methods do not
provide a satisfactory answer to
your questions, it is only natural
to seek a different view. Your
answer will come from an unex-
pected place.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some
partners are attuned to what
you need and require little or
no prompting in the service of
those needs. Thats the kind you
should seek now unless you want
to spend most of your time train-
ing people to help you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most
humans are capable of the
things that few humans do.
Circumstances make a difference
in what we ultimately produce
in our lives. Tweak your environ-
ment to support you better.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll laugh when its funny,
and youll laugh when it seems
like it should be funny but isnt
really, and when its not funny
but others are laughing anyway.
Laughter is both healing and
bonding.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Think carefully before you decide
on your next evolution. You may
reason that you can always go
back to the way things were, but
evolution doesnt work that way.
Once it goes forward, it doesnt
reverse.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
cant judge yourself on what has
yet to be proved. What you think
you are capable of may be irrel-
evant to the final score. Strive
to produce results instead of
projections.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Resistance is the easiest choice.
Anyone can point fingers and
say why things are not working.
Youll make the hard choice to
align with others, cooperate and
do something great together.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 29).
The first part of your year will
invigorate your personal life with
fresh energy. Next, your house-
hold gets a makeover in time
for you to do some hosting in
November. Unexpected gifts and
money are part of the fun at the
start of 2014. Your lucky num-
bers are: 3, 21, 38, 40 and 28.

Do you know people
who like to blame oth-
ers for their problems?
If youre exhausted by
your friends, co-work-
ers or family using the
sentence, Its all your
fault, youre not alone,
according to therapist
Bill Eddy.
This kind of behav-
ior is really increasing
in our society, said
Eddy, author of Its
All Your Fault! 12 Tips
for Managing People
Who Blame Others for
Everything.
Eddy said blamers
have what he calls high-
conflict personalities,
which makes it difficult
for them to manage their
emotions.
This can be caused by
abuse or trauma in early
childhood or even the
opposite, where the child
is entitled and gets away
with anything, he said.
The third option is that
its biological. You can
have a totally reasonable
parent, and if they have
a child with a personal-
ity disorder, that child
has no ability to manage
their emotions.
The result, Eddy said,
is an extreme overreac-
tion to everyday prob-
lems.
They might even
engage in behaviors that
90 percent of the people
would never do, he said.
Like spreading vicious
rumors or even damag-
ing property.
Eddy said these behav-
iors can be especially
toxic in the workplace.
The more narcissistic
high-conflict people see
themselves as superior,
so if they see someone
who is smarter than they
are, they are threatened
by this, he said. They
want everybody to praise
them, and they dont
praise anybody else. In
fact, they are often dis-
dainful and demeaning
to people.
Here are Eddys tips
for dealing with a person
who blames others:
Make a connection.
Rather than putting
them down or fighting
back and arguing, try to
connect with empathy,
attention and respect,
he said. And this is
really counterintuitive,
its the opposite of what
you feel like doing, you
really feel like escaping.
But say to them, That
sounds like a tough day,
rather than mirroring
what they do. You want
to calm them by showing
interest.
Analyze your
options.
Ask yourself, What
do I want to accomplish
here? Is this someone
who will ease out of my
life, or do I need them
in my life? By analyzing
your options, you realize
you arent powerless, and
you can think more real-
istically so you dont just
react to the person.
Respond in writing.
Make sure your cor-
respondence is brief,
informative, friendly
and firm, he said. This
is a good way to write
emails when you get
an inflamed email from
somebody. Send three or
four sentences that are
just straight information.
Do not add any emotions
or opinions. Then end it
with something nice like,
Have a good weekend.
This will end the hostile
communication because
you end the conversation
from your end so you
dont fan the flames.
Set limits.
This is so important
when you deal with blam-
ers because they dont
stop themselves when
they are attacking, he
said. Stay calm and talk
about the future rather
than criticizing the past.
You can think, I can
hang up the phone or I
can walk away, whatever
it takes to get away from
their outburst.
Dont try to change
them.
Probably 80 percent
of the energy we spend
on people like this is
spent trying to persuade
them how theyre wrong
and they need to change,
which just makes it
worse. You may just have
to walk away from this
person.

Fault! 12 Tips for Managing
People Who Blame Others
for Everything
Thinking of getting back
into the dating arena?
Dating after a divorce can
be a bit daunting, espe-
cially if you were married
for a long time. Even if
you arent looking for the
one, making a choice to
re-enter the dating world
can be challenging. Here
are some tips to help you
navigate the dating game
and nd that special per-
son:
Dont rush: Be sure
youre ready before you
jump back into the dating
pool. If your divorce was
just nalized or if youre
still hurting, it may be
best to wait. Take time to
reect on why your past
relationship went awry
and to heal from the emo-
tional wounds. Use this
time to discover who you
are and how to be true to
yourself.
Do it for the right
reasons: Dont date for
the security of having
someone nearby or to get
revenge on your ex. Date
because you have a sin-
cere interest in getting to
know someone and want
to spend time with them.
Avoid negative thinking
and beliefs about mar-
riage or relationships.
Negativity breeds more
fear and frustration into
your dating experiences.
It may be challenging but
if you cant be optimistic
about relationships, you
may not be ready to date.
Dont settle: Are you
looking for companionship
or are you hoping to nd
a new spouse? Be honest
with yourself and commu-
nicate openly at all times.
Establish clear boundar-
ies and expectations for
yourself and do not com-
promise your values or gut
instincts.
Dating when you
have kids: If you have
kids, dating after divorce
becomes even trickier.
Should you let the kids
know youre dating? When
do you introduce them?
Here are a few tips that
can help:
Be honest: Tell your
date that you have children.
They are part of who you
are. Decide when and how
to talk with your children
about dating. Kids dont
need to know the details
of where youre going or
what youre doing, but
you should explain that its
normal for adults to want
to spend time with other
adults.
Introduce slowly:
Children are a lot more
intuitive than we think.
Explain to your kids and
to the person youre dat-
ing that you will introduce
them when you feel the
time is right. Modeling
healthy relationships is
important for kids so make
sure you feel condent in
how well you know some-
one before introducing
them. Avoid the parade of
potential new mommies
or daddies, but dont keep
two signicant aspects of
your life from each other
forever. When you plan
the rst get-together, pick
a spot thats casual and
allows for communication
without overemphasizing
it like a baseball game or
bowling.
Expect resistance:
Even after your children
come to grips with the
divorce, they may still
show some resistance to
the idea of you dating.
This may be because they
still hope that you and your
ex will reunite or they fear
that the new person will
take away from their time
with you. These feelings
are normal, and you should
reassure your children that
dating will not change how
you feel about them or the
time you spend with them.
The greatest need children
have, post divorce, is secu-
rity. Your home should
be a safe place for your
children and you want to
respect that by meeting up
with your date in locations
other than your home.
Dating after divorce?
Yes, it can be done
