day Monday outside South
Carolinas capitol heard a
message that wouldnt have
been out of place during the
halcyon days of the civil
rights movement a half-centu-
ry ago: the need to protect all
citizens right to vote.
A similar tone was struck
at Ebenezer Baptist Church in
Atlanta, where King preached
from1960 until his death.
There and in South Carolina,
speakers condemned the
voter identification laws they
said are meant to suppress
black voter turnout.
For most of 13 years in

Under heavy debate pressure
from his rivals, Republican
presidential front-runner Mitt
Romney defended his record
as a venture capitalist, insisted
he bears no responsibility for
attack ads aired by his allies
and grudgingly said Monday
night he might release his in-
come tax returns this spring.

said. I sort of feel like were

MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
PITTSBURGH Almost all
of the 20 homeowners in Belmar
pay to run a water chlorination
system to replace what was free
well water from an Allegheny
River aquifer. In the1980s, an oil
driller polluted the water, in
part, they believe, by dumping
waste brine into abandoned oil
wells that could date to the
1800s, when Edwin L. Drake set
off the boom by tapping his fa-
mous well in Titus-
ville.
Today the latest gas-
drilling rush in the
Marcellus Shale may
bring an opportunity
to plug many of those
old wells, but it also
brings the risk that old
wells could create a
path for gas and chem-
icals to migrate into
soil and water.
The whole area uphere is like
Swiss cheese, said Howard
Weltner, 80, secretary-treasurer
of Belmar Association Inc.,
which operates the treatment
system. It just has holes
through all the different strata in
the ground, so theres an awful
lot of opportunities for contam-
ination of the groundwater. And
I think a lot of people are con-
cerned about it, and a lot more
communities are getting a pub-
lic system to replace water
wells.
Most of the states abandoned
wells are in western Pennsylva-
nia. They arc though McKean,
Venango and Butler counties
and, in smaller clusters, around
the Pittsburgh area.
Unplugged wells pose risks of
illegal dumping, water pollu-
tion, cave-ins, gas seepage and
even explosions, but the state
can afford to plug only about 130
a year. At that rate, it could take
the state more than 61 years to
plug the 8,262 remaining wells
that officials know about, and
more than 1,350 years to plug
the rest if crews could find
them.
In the past, drillers aban-
doned wells because there was
no rule that said they couldnt.
Companies that no longer exist
cannot be held liable.
The rejuvenation of the fuel-
drilling industry in Pennsylva-
nia could provide a chance to
deal with abandoned wells, offi-
cials say. With the backing of
Gov. Tom Corbett, the Senate
and House in November passed
preliminary bills that would es-
tablish impact fees on the in-
dustry, and some of that money
would be put toward plugging
old wells.
Drillers pay a surcharge when
they obtain permits, which
amounts to about $1.5 million
annually that the state uses to
plug wells, according to DEP fig-
ures. The cost of plugging can
vary. DEP contracts since 2009
have ranged from as little as
$3,027 per well to as much as
$194,082, an agency spokesman
said.
The Senates bill, which pro-
poses higher well fees than the
House measure, would generate
an additional $25 million an-
nually for statewide environ-
mental projects that would in-
clude well plugging, mine drain-
age cleanup, parks and
water quality monitor-
ing.
Were trying to tie
in ancient environ-
mental problems with
new development,
which is fantastic,
said David Strong, a
Jefferson County envi-
ronmental scientist
who sits on several of
DEPs citizen advisory boards.
We can find newmoney to fight
these old problems.
Its in the industrys interest to
help solve those problems, said
Strong and several others, in-
cluding industry officials. One of
the biggest problems is finding
most of the abandoned wells. If a
company unwittingly drills a
well near an abandoned well, it
can create a path for gas to flow
uncontrolled to the surface or in-
to groundwater, costing profits
and causing a safety hazard.
Even if an old and new well
dont cross, gas migrating from
deep wells can reach abandoned
ones and cause contamination
through natural fissures, or if
man-made seals dont hold,
Smith said.
Drilling through the rocks
that have previously sealed in
the formation... a lot depends on
the efficiency of those borehole
seals in preventing any leakage,
Smith said.
If theres any leakage from a
Marcellus well, theres potential
for it to make contact with an
old, abandoned oil and gas well.
The issue could become prob-
lematic for drillers as they ex-
plore the edges of the Marcellus
shale play where the oil industry
once operated, such as Butler
and Venango counties and the
northwestern part of the state,
industry officials said.
It is not an issue right now for
Royal Dutch Shell plc, which op-
erates in western Butler County,
but company officials know it
could be if they move into nat-
ural expansion areas such as Ve-
nango County, said Bill Langin,
who leads Shells Appalachian
exploration.
Old gas wells bring
risks of chemicals
New drilling raises money to
plug abandoned wells; some
fear pollution could migrate.

WASHINGTON A billio-
naire Wyoming investor has
pledged to give up to a half-mil-
lion dollars in matching money
to an outside spending group
that supports Rick Santorumfor
the GOP presidential nomina-
tion.
Foster Friess put up a good
chunk of the $537,000 that the
Santorum super PAC, the Red
White and Blue Fund, spent on
ads to help the candidate come
in a close second to Mitt Rom-
ney in the Iowa caucuses earlier
this month.
Now the 71-year-old Friess
says hes sent a note to 5,000
sportsmen pledging to match
whatever they donate to the su-
per PAC, up to $500,000, which
could be crucial to Santorums
chances of halting Romneys
march to his partys presidential
nomination.
Friess declined to be more
specific.
The Democrats will chew
Romney up because of his patri-
cian background, Friess said in
an interview Sunday night, ex-
plaining his support for Santo-
rum over the former Massachu-
setts governor. Its not his fault.
Whos going to be more appeal-
ing to blue-collar workers?
Romney, a member of a promi-
nent political family, is a very
wealthy former head of Bain
Capital, a private equity firm
thats received much criticism
lately fromother Republicans as
practicing cutthroat capitalism
that pared payrolls. Friess noted
that Santorums grandfather was
a coal miner.
Friess made his fortune run-
ning mutual funds and is a keen
stock picker. Hes a veteran sup-
porter of conservative causes, a
born-again Christian and an ally
of the much-richer Koch broth-
ers, wealthy industrialists who
bankroll many conservative
causes. Friess said hed called
several wealthy friends to urge
them to back Santorum, a for-
mer Pennsylvania congressman
and senator, by helping the su-
per PAC.
Friess declinedtoidentifyany-
one he had called.
Despite a big financial disad-
vantage for Santorum, and polls
that findhes laggingwell behind
Romney in South Carolina,
Friess is ready to shell out more
big money because he thinks the
Pennsylvanian has the best shot
at winning the White House. I
think well have a better chance
of winning with a fresh face,
Friess said.
Santorum on Saturday picked
up the backing of a group of
about 100 prominent evangelical
leaders, including James Dob-
son and Gary Bauer, after a
meeting in Texas that was de-
signedtoget conservative Chris-
tian leaders to coalesce behind
one candidate.
America is a moral enter-
prise, not an economic enter-
prise, Santorum said pointedly
on Sunday in South Carolina.
Freely allowing that he and
Santorum talk regularly, Friess
said the candidate had called
him a few days ago to bring me
up to date on the campaigns
progress in South Carolina,
which holds its primary Satur-
day. Asked whether he talks to
Santorum about his financial
support for the Red White and
Blue Fund, which is legally
barred from coordinating its ac-
tivities with the campaign,
Friess said, I think Santorum is
OK with it.
Santorum and Friess met in
the mid-1990s through the Na-
tional Republican Senatorial
Campaign Committee, which
Friess supported when Santo-
rum was eyeing a Senate race.
The bigissues that Friess saidhe
and Santorum were in sync on
include slashing income taxes,
replacing the Obama-backed
health care law with a system
that includes more private
health savings accounts and cut-
ting regulations.
Our government is stran-
gling our workers with a foot on
their throats, Friess fumed.

McClatchy
that conclusion.
That only elevated the stakes
for the debate, feisty from the
outset as Gingrich, Texas Gov.
Rick Perry and former Pennsyl-
vania Sen. Rick Santorum
sought to knock Romney off
stride.
The debate began hours after
Romney reaped an endorsement
from former Utah Gov. Jon
Huntsman, who suspended his
own candidacy and endorsed
Romney. He also urged the re-
maining contenders to stop at-
tacking one another for fear it
might benefit Obama in Novem-
ber.
Romneys rivals, while going
after him vigorously, were care-
ful towraptheir criticisminanti-
Obama rhetoric.
We need to satisfy the coun-
try that whoever we nominate
has a record that can stand up to
Barack Obama ina very effective
way, said Gingrich.
The former House speaker
and Perry led the assault against
Romneys recordat BainCapital,
a private equity firmthat bought
companies and sought to re-
make them into more competi-
tive enterprises, with uneven re-
sults.
There was a pattern in some
companies ... of leaving them
with enormous debt and then
withina year or twoor three hav-
ing them go broke, Gingrich
said. I thinkthats somethinghe
ought to answer.
Perry referred to a steel mill in
Georgetown, S.C. where, he
said, Bain swept in, they picked
that company over and a lot of
people lost jobs there.
Romney said that the steel in-
dustry was battered by unfair
competition from China. As for
other firms, he said, Four of the
companies that we invested in ...
ended up today having some
120,000 jobs.
Some of the businesses we in-
vested in were not successful
andlost jobs, he acknowledged.
It was Perry who challenged
Romney, a multimillionaire, to
release his income tax returns.
The Texas governor said he has
already done so, adding he be-
lieves Gingrich will do likewise
later in the week.
Mitt, we need for you to re-
leaseyour incometaxsothepeo-
ple of this country can see how
youmadeyour money. ... Wecan-
not fire our nominee in Septem-
ber. We need to know now.
Later, a debate moderator
pressedRomney onreleasinghis
tax returns.
The answer was anything but
crisp.
But you know if thats been
the tradition Im not opposed to
doing that. Time will tell. But I
anticipate that most likely Im
going to get asked to do that in
the April time period and Ill
keep that open, he said.
Prodded again, he said, I
think Ive heard enough from
folks saying look, you know, lets
see your taxrecords. I have noth-
ing in themthat suggests theres
any problemandImhappy to do
so. I sort of feel like were show-
ingalot of exposureat this point,
andif I become our nominee and
whats happened in history is
people have released them in
about April of the coming year
and thats probably what Id do.
Santorum stayed away from
the clash over taxes, instead
starting a dispute of his own. He
said a campaign group support-
ing Romney has been attacking
him for supporting voter rights
for convicted felons, and asked
Romney what his position was
on the issue.
Romney initially ducked a di-
rect answer, preferring to ask
Santorumif the ad was accurate.
He then said he doesnt be-
lieve convicted violent felons
should have the right to vote,
even after serving their terms.
Santorum instantly said that as
governor of Massachusetts,
Romney hadnt made any at-
tempt to change a law that per-
mitted convicted felons to vote
while still on parole, a law that
the former Pennsylvania senator
said was more liberal than the
one he has been assailed for sup-
porting.
Romneyrepliedthat as Repub-
lican governor, he was confront-
ed with a legislature that was
heavily Democratic and held a
different position.
He also reminded Santorum
that candidates have no control
over the campaign groups that
have played a pivotal role in the
race to date.
Romney added that the mil-
lions in outside dollars are one
of the things I decry about the
current system. At the same
time, he has repeatedly refused
to denounce the negative ads
that the group supporting him
has been spending millions to
run in early states.
It is inaccurate, Santorum
saidof theadassailinghim, seek-
ingthe last word. I wouldgoout
and say, Stop it. That youre rep-
resenting me and youre repre-
senting my campaign. Stop it.
The five remainingcandidates
alsosought tooutdooneanother
in calling for lower taxes.
Ron Paul won that competi-
tion handily, saying he thought
the top rate should be zero.
Romney is the leader in the
public opinion polls in South
Carolina, although his rivals
hope the states high, 9.9 percent
unemployment rate and the
presence of large numbers of so-
cially conservative evangelical
voters will allow one of them to
slip by him.
Huntsman was the second
campaign dropout to endorse
Romney, after former Minnesota
Gov. Tom Pawlenty.

WILKES-BARRE Two vehicles left
unattendedwhile warmingupwere stolen
Monday, and a third car was taken Satur-
day, adding to a growing trend of motor
vehicle thefts in Luzerne County.
Dominic Condusta told city police he
went outside his South Franklin Street
apartment at 7:35 a.m. to start his 1998
Jeep Cherokee, which was parked in a dri-
veway. Police said that when Condusta
went back out 10 minutes later, his vehicle
was gone.
Hanover Township police allege a male
man driving the Jeep stole two boxes of
cigars from the Star Service Station on
South Main Street at about 1:20 p.m. Po-
lice canvassedthe area, but were unable to
locate the Jeep.
The second car theft on Monday was re-
ported just after 3 a.m. by Scott Stuchkus,
of Wilkes-Barre Township.
Stuchkus told police he left the Chicken
Coop restaurant on North Wilkes-Barre
Boulevard to find his 2002 Cadillac Esca-
lade missing. Stuchkus said he left the key
in the ignition, but the vehicle was locked.
Police believe the thief smashed a win-
dow to steal it.
Megan Tarnalicki of Vine Street report-
ed Saturday she started her Kia to warmit
up and went back inside her residence.
When she returned, the car was gone.
PolicesaidTarnalickis vehiclewas reco-
vered near Laurel Estates on East North-
ampton Street, Wilkes-Barre Township,
after someone drove it into a tree.
The Wilkes-Barre Police Department
does not encourage anyone to leave their
keys in their ignition under any circum-
stances; however, understanding this area
can experience periods of extreme cold
weather, the police strongly urge every-
one to never leave their vehicles unattend-
ed while warming-up because the risk of
theft increases significantly, city Police
Chief Gerard Dessoye stated in an email.
Seven vehicles have been reported sto-
lentotheWilkes-BarrePoliceDepartment
since Jan. 1, according to statistics from
the state police Uniform Crime Report.
Thirty-one cars have been taken from
their owners throughout Luzerne County
since the first of the year.
UCR statistics say 368 vehicles were
stolen throughout the county in 2011, 26
more than in 2010.

A group of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania hospitals owned by Ten-
nessee-based Community Health
Systems Inc. is set to make what
its calling a major announce-
ment on Feb. 1 in Scranton. But
spokespeople for the health sys-
tems are being tightlipped about
the news.
In the second phase of an ongo-
ing marketing campaign, the
groupof eight hospitals, five home
health and hospice agencies and
multiple physician practices in the
regionaffiliatedwithCHSissueda
press release Monday announcing
aplannedpress conferenceonFeb.
1 at 10 a.m. at the Hilton Scranton
Hotel and Conference Center.
On Sunday, an advertisement
taken out in The Times Leader
and other newspapers in the re-
gion using the Regional Hospital
of Scrantons cloverleaf logo was
vague in what the announcement
would be, but stated that, When
leading hospitals, physicians and
staff come together, discovering a
healthier communitywill beeasier
than ever.
Jim McGuire, spokesman for
Wyoming Valley Health Care Sys-
tem, which includes Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital, reiterated the
scope of the combined organiza-
tions, but would say only that Its
a positive announcement that will
bring good things to patients, em-
ployees and physicians.
He declined to elaborate on the
details of the announcement. Nei-
ther would Gladys Bernet, spokes-
woman for Regional Hospital of
Scranton, or Tomi Galin, the cor-
porate spokeswoman for CHS in
Franklin, Tenn.
Since 1999, CHS has purchased
eight area hospitals Berwick
Hospital Center, First Hospital in
Kingston, Mid-Valley Hospital in
Peckville, Moses Taylor Hospital
in Scranton, Regional Hospital of
Scranton, Special Care Hospital in
Nanticoke, Tyler Memorial Hospi-
tal in Tunkhannock and Wilkes-
Barre General Hospital.
McGuire, Bernet and Galin
were askedif theres a planinplace
to join the area CHS affiliates and
form a single integrated health
care network under a new name.
None of the three provided an an-
swer on point.
Each focused his or her re-
sponse on the vague release.
Through our recent acquisi-
tions and significant investments,
Community Health Systems has
grown in its commitment to serve
Northeast Pennsylvaniacommuni-
ties with high-quality health care
services and we are excited about
the opportunities ahead. The an-
nouncement on Feb. 1 will be a
positive development, which we
are all looking forward to, Galin
said.

This years three-day holiday

snowfall was below average.
And rainfall was wreaking ha-

SALEM TWP. A preliminary hearing
has been scheduled for a township man
charged with assaulting a woman he held
captive inside his house.
Harry Peter Joline, 43, remains in feder-
al custody on allegations he violated his
sentence for fraud when he was charged
by township police in December.
Joline was wanted by township police
after awomanfromVirginiaclaimedheas-
saulted her and would not allow her to
leave his house near Shickshinny for two
days in November.
She told police she met Joline on the so-
cial network site Facebook and was lured
to his house on Nov. 8.
Joline abandoned the woman in Nesco-
peck, where she contacted police.
Township police charged Joline on Dec.
7 with unlawful restraint, simple assault,
harassment and flight to avoid apprehen-
sion.
Joline remained a fugitive until Dec. 16,
when he was apprehended by the U.S.
Marshals Service at a house in the Bronx,
N.Y.
Federal investigators learnedJoline was
staying at the house while waiting for a
flight at John F. Kennedy International
Airport to go to Montreal.
Joline allegedly applied for a passport
on Dec. 15 using his childs information,
according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
A federal warrant was issued for Joline
on Dec. 7, when he failed to surrender on
the charges filed by township police.
He is serving a federal probation sen-
tence for a fraudconvictionfor alteringhis
Social Securitynumber toapplyfor a cred-
it card in June 2009, according to federal
court records.
While he remains in federal custody
waiting for a hearing on a petition to re-
voke probation, he remains jailed on the
charges filedby townshippolice for lackof
$15,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled on
Jan. 25 before District Judge John Hasay
of Shickshinny.

WASHINGTON
Payroll tax cut still priority
A
s Congress returns from a three-
week holiday break, members will
get back to work on how to pay for
extending an average $20-a-week Social
Security payroll tax cut through the
end of 2012 without adding to the
governments long-term debt.
President Barack Obama and fellow
Democrats insisted on taxing the
wealthy to offset the deficit impact of
the payroll tax cut and of providing
jobless benefits to the long-term unem-
ployed. While still useful as campaign
fodder, that idea is largely gone.
House and Senate negotiators are
drawing on Obamas budget and the
work of the defunct congressional
supercommittee on deficit reduction to
come up with the $160 billion or so
needed to continue the tax cut and
federal jobless benefits. Both are set to
expire Feb. 29.
LAGOS, NIGERIA
Subsidies partially restored
Labor unions ended a crippling na-
tionwide strike Monday in Nigeria after
the countrys president partially re-
stored subsidies that keep gasoline
prices low, though it took soldiers
deployed in the streets to stop demon-
strations in Africas most populous
nation.
Union leaders claimed a victory for
labor, saying this would allow its lead-
ers to guide the countrys policy on fuel
subsidies in the future. But the newly
agreed price of about $2.27 a gallon is
still more expensive than the previous
price of $1.70 per gallon, putting addi-
tional economic strain on those living
in a nation where most earn less than
$2 a day and few see the rewards of
being a major oil exporter.
And to force the compromise and
stop popular protests, President Good-
luck Jonathan ordered soldiers to take
over security in the countrys major
cities, something unseen since the
nation abandoned military rule for an
uneasy democracy in 1999.
SANAA, YEMEN
Al-Qaida forces seize town
Al-Qaida militants took full control
on Monday of Radda, a town 100 miles
south of the Yemeni capital Sanaa, and
freed at least 150 prison inmates.
Militants took advantage of the weak
central government and political tur-
moil in the nation for the past year.
Authoritarian President Ali Abdullah
Saleh recently agreed to step down
after months of resisting the protests
against his 33-year rule. But he remains
a powerful force within the country
and a spark for ongoing unrest.
Al-Qaida in Yemen had previously
taken control of towns in the mostly
lawless south. But its capture of Radda
gives the militants a territorial foothold
closer than ever before to the capital,
where many sleeper cells of the terror
network are thought to be located.
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
Nome may soon get oil
Crews have laid a hose along a half
mile stretch of Bering Sea ice and were
hoping Monday to soon begin transfer-
ring 1.3 million gallons of fuel from a
Russian fuel tanker to the iced-in west-
ern Alaska city of Nome.
The offloading could begin before
sundown Monday, said Stacey Smith of
Vitus Marine, the fuel supplier that
arranged to have the Russian tanker
Renda and its crew deliver the fuel.
Crews were working on hooking the
hose to a shore-side pipeline leading to
storage tanks in town, Smith said.
State officials said the transfer must
start during daylight, but can continue
in darkness.

Florida scientists discovered

psychologist David Lewkowicz
of Florida Atlantic University,
who led the study being pub-

ibly complex process.
Apparently it doesnt take
them too long to absorb the
movements that match basic
sounds. By their first birthdays,
babies start shifting back to
look you in the eye again un-
less they hear the unfamiliar
sounds of a foreign language.
Then, they stick with lip-read-
ing a bit longer.
Its a pretty intriguing find-
ing, says University of Iowa
psychology professor Bob
McMurray, who also studies
speech development. The ba-
bies know what they need to
knowabout, and theyre able to
deploy their attention to whats
important at that point in de-
velopment.
The new research appears in
this weeks issue of the Pro-
ceedings of the National Acade-

evidence that quality face-time

It also begs the question of

ROME Italys cruise liner tragedy
turned into an environmental crisis
Monday, as rough seas battering the
stricken mega-ship raised fears that fuel
might leak into pristine waters off Tus-
cany that are part of a protected sanctu-
ary for dolphins, porpoises and whales.
The ships jailed captain, meanwhile,
lost the support of the vessels Italian
owner as he battled prosecutors claims
that he caused the deadly wreck that
killed at least six and left 29 missing.
Earlier, authorities had said16 people
were missing. But an Italian Coast
Guard official, Marco Brusco, said late
Monday that 25 passengers and four
crew members were unaccounted for
three days after the disaster. He didnt
explainthe jump, but indicated10 of the
missing are Germans. Two Americans
are also among the missing.
At least three families of Italian pas-
sengers have said that despite their
loved ones being listed among those
safely evacuated, they hadnt heard
from them.
There still is a glimmer of hope that
there could be survivors on parts of the
vast Costa Concordia that not havebeen
searched by rescuers, Brusco said. A
search of the above-water portion of the
ship last yielded a survivor, a crewman
who had broken his leg, on Sunday.
Waters that had remained calm for
the first three days of the rescue turned
choppy Monday. A search for bodies
was suspended overnight.
Italys environmental minister raised
the alarm about a potential environ-
mental catastrophe if any of the 500,000
gallons (2,300 tons) of fuel begins to
leakintothe waters off Giglio, whichare

At the moment there havent been
any fuel leaks, but we have to intervene
quickly to avoid an environmental di-
saster, Corrado Clini told RAI radio.

ISLAMABAD Dealing a
heavy blow to Pakistans em-
battled government, the high
court initiated contempt pro-
ceedings Monday against
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza
Gilani because he would not
restart along-standingcorrup-
tion case against the nations
president.
Gilani, a top ally of Presi-
dent Asif Ali Zardari inthe rul-
ing Pakistan Peoples Party,
must appear before the Su-
preme Court on Thursday,
when the justices will listen to
his explanation for not going
ahead with the case.
If the court moves forward
withthe contempt proceeding
and Gilani is convicted, he
could be disqualified from of-
fice and forced to step down.
He also could be forced to
serve up to six months in jail.
Zardaris government is
locked in battles with the Su-
preme Court and Pakistans
powerful military, both of
which have had an acrimo-
nious relationship with the
president since he took office
in 2008. The crisis has stirred
talkof the governments possi-
ble ouster, though experts say
it likely would happen
through legal action by the
high court, rather than a mil-
itary coup.
The military has ousted ci-
vilian leaders in coups four
times inPakistans 64-year his-
tory, but its current leadership
has publicly stated it has no
plans to mount a takeover.
But the nations generals
were angered by the emer-
gence of an unsigned memo a
Pakistani-American business-
mancontends was engineered
byatopZardari allyandwhich
sought Washingtons help in
preventingamilitarycouplast
spring. The memoofferedsev-
eral concessions, including
the elimination of a wing of
the Inter-Services Intelligence
agency that maintains links
withAfghaninsurgent groups.
The businessman, Mansoor
Ijaz, claims it was then-ambas-
sador to the U.S. Husain Haq-
qani who approached him
with the idea. Haqqani, who
was forced to resign after the
allegations surfaced, denies
any involvement in the cre-
ationor conveyance of the me-
mo. A Supreme Court com-
mission is probing the case.

PITTSBURGH The long-
time head of a citizens advisory
committee on Pennsylvanias
parks and forests has been fired,
an action that fellow members
and environmentalists say could
reduce public oversight over gas
drilling instate forests.
Kurt Leitholf, whohas beenex-
ecutive director of the state De-
partment of Conservation and
Natural Resources Citizens Advi-
sory Council since1996, was told
last week by the Corbett adminis-
trationthat hispositionwasbeing
eliminated, the Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette said. Leitholf told the pa-
per that he was disappointed by
the decision, which took effect
Friday.
Department spokeswoman
Christina Novak said officials de-
termined that funding a full-time
executive director was not cost-
effective. She said departmental
legislative liaison Joe Graci will
perform Leitholfs duties in addi-
tionto his own.
EricMartin, oneof tworemain-
ing original council members, ac-
cusedtheadministrationof trying
to pre-empt public oversight of
the department amid Marcellus
Shale gas drilling onforest land.
Aside fromwhat we the coun-
cil feel wasanillegal firing, thisisa
clear message fromthe executive
suite regarding citizen involve-
ment and transparency, he told
the paper in an e-mail. Funny
that one of our hot topics is Mar-
cellus Shale.
Pennsylvania has leased one-
third of its 2.1 million-acre forest
systemfor oil and gas drilling, in-
cluding more than 130,000 acres
for Marcellus Shale deep wells.
The department has warned that
more oil and gas development
would damage the ecology and
forests.
As the Corbett administration
ignores public opinion and con-
vertsmoreandmoreof our public
lands to gas drilling industrial
zones, we needgreater oversight,
not less, saidJeff Schmidt, Penn-
sylvania Sierra Club chapter di-
rector.

building, different deliveryman.
City police said a man deliver-
ing food from Great Wall Chi-
nese restaurant on North River
Street was robbed and assaulted
by a man wielding a gun Satur-
day at building 320 N. Empire
Court in the Sherman Hills
apartment complex.
It is the third robbery involv-
ing an employee delivering Chi-
nese food at building 320 since
Dec. 28, according to police re-
ports, and the fifth overall rob-
bery since Dec. 26 within the
22-acre apartment complex.
In the latest robbery and as-
sault, Jtanzhan Chen told police
he arrived in front of building
320 and was robbed at gunpoint
while still inside his delivery ve-
hicle. Chen said the man struck
him in the head and got away
with a small amount of cash, po-
lice said.
A man delivering food from
Tin-Tin Chinese restaurant on
Johnson Street in Wilkes-Barre
Township was assaulted and
robbed on Jan. 2 inside building
320 by two men while a woman
watched.
A delivery employee from
Golden Palace Chinese restau-
rant on East Market Street,
Wilkes-Barre, was robbed by a
man in front of the same build-
ing on Dec. 28, according to po-
lice reports.
The series of food delivery
robberies and assaults in Sher-
man Hills began on Dec. 26,
when an employee at Great Wall
was robbed at gunpoint inside
building 328. A day later, on
Dec. 27, a food delivery employ-
ee was robbed inside building
316.
Sherman Hills consists of 344
apartments in nine buildings.
Most of the apartments are in
eight garden-style apartment
buildings that provide subsi-
dized housing for low-income
families, according to the com-
plexs website.
The apartment complex hires
off-duty police officers to pro-
vide security.
Chief Gerard Dessoye did not
return a message request for
comment made through city
spokesperson Drew McLaugh-
lin on Monday.
Another Chinese food deliveryman robbed
Sherman Hills has seen at
least five deliverymen robbed
since Dec. 26, police say.

now that the below-freezing tem-
peratures have arrived for an ex-
tended stay, the resorts have no
problem making snow. The prob-
lemisthatpeoplemaynotbethink-
ing snowbecause theres no white
stuff falling fromthe sky.
I think its more of a mind-set,
Verrastro said. Its always better
when theres snow in your back-
yard, andpeoplearethinkingabout
skiing.
Because the resorts draw pri-
marily from the New York, New
Jersey and Philadelphia markets,
the lack of snowfall in those com-
munities affects attendance.
The best marketing we have is
getting a fewinches of snowinthe
metro markets, Tust said.
That snow, either locally or in
thetri-statearea, is not onthehori-
zon.
Typical snowfall halfway
through January at the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton International Air-
port is 7 inches. This year, its one-
tenthof aninch.

Scientific research
All the studies, which are de-
tailed in the 2001 book, Feeling
Good is Good for You that he co-
authored with research partner
Francis Brennan, examine immu-
noglobulin A in the saliva.
ImmunoglobulinA, or IgA, is an
antibody naturally produced by
the body. Its found in the blood-
streamandmucous membranes in
the eyes, nose, mouthandgenital/
urinary tract.
IgA blocks infections from en-
tering the body and sends a mess-
age to destroy harmful cells that
are already in, from the common
cold to cancer, Charnetski said.
It plays a major role not only in
the resolution of a disease should
we contract one, but in prevention
of disease, hesaid. As such, more
is better.
Charnetski, who researches in
the field of psychoneuroimmunol-
ogy, wanted to find out if romantic
love influenced the immune sys-
tem, and sexual activity was a nat-
ural variable.
The test subjects 112 college
students engaged in relatively sta-
ble relationships were surveyed
about the frequency of their sexual
activity, withanswersincludingze-
ro, less than one time per week,
once or twice a week and more
than two times per week.
The research found those in the
once or twice a week group had30
percent higher levels of IgA than
those in the other three groups.
The levels of those in the other
groups had levels about equal.
Charnetski found no reason
why the percentage dropped for
the group engaging in sex more
frequently, leadinghimtorefer to
ancient philosophy discouraging
excess.
Even good things should be
engaged in moderation, Char-
netski said.
His studies on music and dog
petting have received as much
media coverage as the one about
sex, though inquiries about the
sex study usually rise around Val-
entines Day, he said.
International appeal
The book was re-released a few
years after its original publica-
tion in the United States and has
also been released in Brazil and
Croatia.
Dozens of television and radio
broadcasters have interviewed
Charnetski or discussed his
work, including Good Morning
America, comedian Jay Leno
and National Public Radio, he
said.
I figured it would run its
course, and it hasnt, he said.
The professor said hes fasci-
nated with discovering tangible
ways to boost immunity. He once
studied stressed newspaper re-
porters writing on deadline and
found their saliva-tested IgA lev-
els increased after they started
listening to smooth jazz music
while still on deadline.
He tested the music theory
with other subjects using newly
composed classical music to en-
sure it hadnt been heard before,
theorizing that past negative or
positive memories associated
with a particular song could taint
the findings.
Head-banger music does not
improve IgA levels, he warned.
Charnetski said he will contin-
ue to study new immunity-build-
ing possibilities, including the ef-
fects of probiotics, which are live
microorganisms found in dietary
supplements and foods.
Im looking at a whole array of
variables and will be into the fu-
ture, he said as one of his stu-
dents, recently returned from a
trip to Belgium over the winter
break, knocked on his office door.
Charnetski had just finished
mentioning a study completed by
other researchers that found
sniffing chocolate helps to buffer
the ill effects of stress on IgA.
One of my students provided
mewithBelgianchocolatefor my
immune system, he said, beam-
ing.
STRESS
LEHMAN TWP. The Lake-
Lehman School Board approved a
preliminary 2012-13 budget Mon-
day night that includes a 4.4 per-
cent property tax increase.
Business Manager Thomas Mel-
one of Albert Melone & Co. pre-
sented the $27.4 million budget to
the boardthat will increase the mil-
lage rate to 9.28 for those living in
Harveys Lake Borough and Jack-
son, Lake, Lehman and Ross town-
ships.
Amill is $1for every$1,000inav-
erage assessed property value.
Melone said the increase will
translatetoanadditional $54.90for
the year for an average assessed
property value of $141,241 in Lu-
zerne County.
The budget set the millage rate
at 53.52 mills for those living in
Noxen Township in Wyoming
County, which is a slight decrease
fromlast years rate. This translates
to a decrease of $57.55 for the aver-
age assessed property value of
$14,932.
The percentage increase goes
above the Act 1 index, which is a
statewidelimit tohowmuchschool
boards can raise property taxes.
This year the Act 1 index is 2.1
percent, and the district will need
to apply for special exceptions to
cover the proposed increase.
BeforeMelonemadehis present-
ation, the board heard from Tom
Rainey of Bonita & Rainey, who
performed an audit for the district
for the 2010-11year.
Raineys report showed the dis-
trict actually spent about $1.3 mil-
lionless thanwhat it hadbudgeted,
and it also had surplus of $657,000
in revenues.
Melonesaidthat brought thedis-
tricts fund balance, akin to a sav-
ings account, to a total of $2.5 mil-
lion, but most of that moneywill be
needed to cover shortfalls in the
2012-13 budget.
Salary and health care benefits
will continue to increase over time,
he said. This year the increases will
set the district backby $1.5million.
Last year, the board faced diffi-
cult decisions inits budgetingproc-
ess due to a major decrease instate
funding. The district managed to
save money by not replacing retir-
ingteachers, furloughingabout five
teachers, curtailing certain pro-
grams, and cutting costs for trans-
portation and supplies.
The district also completely re-
vamped its curriculum, and Super-
intendent James McGovern said
the district has few options to fill
the funding gaps.
McGovern estimated the dis-
tricts fund balance will be left with
$30,000 after this years budgeting
process.
The governor intendedtomake
school districts useeverythingthey
have, said McGovern. We have
taken drastic measures were do-
ing more with less. Now were just
going to have to develop alternate
sources of funding.
The board will vote on a pro-
posed final budget in May before
voting on a final budget at the end
of June.
L-Ls preliminary budget would increase taxes
Increase of 4.4 percent for
Luzerne County residents
exceeds state index of 2.1.

HARRISBURG Jury selec-
tion is scheduled to begin
Wednesday in the public cor-
ruption case against a state
lawmaker charged with illegal-
ly using taxpayer-paid employ-
ees to perform campaign work.
Opening statements in the
trial of Rep. Bill DeWeese, D-
Greene County, are scheduled
Jan. 23.
The 61-year-old former
speaker and floor leader is
charged with conflict of inter-
est, conspiracy and four counts
of theft for what prosecutors al-
lege was the misuse of public
resources for campaign purpos-
es.
Defense attorneys unsuc-
cessfully argued for dismissal
of the case and also asked that
jurors be brought in from an-
other county due to pretrial
publicity.
Dauphin County Judge Todd
Hoover said last month he that
he was inclined to address the
makeup of the jury if problems
arise when the two sides begin
picking the panel.
Defense attorney Bill Costo-
poulos accused prosecutors
with the attorney generals of-
fice of having inaccurately sum-
marized grand jury testimony
at the preliminary hearing.
Prosecutor James P. Barker
said both DeWeese and the dis-
trict judge were given access to
the entire transcript at the
hearing, and prosecutors were
not obliged to put on evidence
that might help the defendant.
The charges against De-
Weese stem from a broader in-
vestigation into the use of tax-
payer resources for electioneer-
ing in the Legislature.
It was launched in early 2007
by then-Attorney General Tom
Corbett, a Republican who was
elected governor in November.
DeWeese jury selection to begin
Former Pa. speaker is charged
with conflict of interest,
conspiracy and theft.

I gotta thank everybody in

trample over their history.

The actress offered her appreciation Sunday after
earning her eighth Golden Globe Award, this time as
dramatic actress for playing former British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher in The Iron Lady.
Young people can work
to create own success
I
t is good to know that teens such as
Katelyn Pierce, whose letter to the edi-
tor appeared on Jan. 12, Student wor-
ried about future job prospects, are work-
ing diligently in school despite some pessi-
mism about what awaits them.
As young people think about the future,
I would implore them not to expect any-
one to fix the economy or to have jobs
waiting upon graduation. What is clear is
that the vast majority of good-paying jobs
will require even greater levels of educa-
tion and more flexibility; as Ms. Pierce
noted, opportunities might be more preva-
lent in Japan or China than at home.
The competition for jobs and for capital
to create new products and services truly
has gone worldwide. The bar to win jobs
or secure investors is thereby set higher.
And many more jobs will be created by
young people forming small endeavors
than by large companies again hiring en
masse.
The upside of all of this is that young
people can start businesses even faster and
collaborate with colleagues around the
world an exciting prospect. But this does
mean that we have to know more about
the world and be able to solve problems
and create opportunities, rather than fill-
ing a pre-prescribed role in a job.
Ms. Pierce and her friends should get
back to dreaming about the future. They
should not let economic and social prob-
lems created by previous generations (like
mine) deter them from great things and
lives lived in the pursuit of wisdom, en-
lightenment and happiness.
Katelyns letter shows not only worry,
but careful thought and a readiness to
contribute, for which I thank her.

New teen-driving law
seen as unnecessary
A
new Pennsylvania law was passed in
late 2011 with rules restricting teen-
driving privileges.
The law states that a new, junior driver
younger than 18 can have only one pas-
senger who is not an immediate family
member in their car without having a legal
parent or guardian in the vehicle. That law
is completely unnecessary.
And another part of Act 81 states that
drivers younger than 18 who have had
their junior drivers licenses for more than
six months can have up to only three pas-
sengers, not including immediate family.
This rule also is not needed.
In 2008, the majority of teen drivers
were not involved with fatal crashes, so
why must the rest of the safe teen drivers
suffer at the hands of immature drivers?
Act 81 is both unneeded and unwanted
for teen drivers.
Jack Walsh
Fairview Township
Writer predicts nothing
but trouble for taxpayers
T
he economy at the local, state and
national levels will not begin to recover
until more money is available to the
private sector, because it spends money
more efficiently and productively than
government.
Due to the run-up in the Luzerne County
deficit and the need to start paying down
this debt, the local portion of this recovery
will be decades away. The disenfranchised
citizenry largely stayed home this past
election. Young voters were nowhere to be
seen. Establishment hacks were out voting
in force. To their credit, surprisingly, the
outgoing commissioners handed the new
county council a budget with no tax in-
crease.
Unfortunately the new council voted to
open the budget to renegotiation. The
majority of the council also has learned
nothing about the misdeeds of the past
when it comes to transparency, and under
the guise of professionalism has tried to
keep the names and qualifications of man-
ager candidates secret.
Once again the taxpayer is going to take
one for the team. If Im wrong, Ill jump
out of an airplane.
I have no doubt that most of the new
council members are sincere in their ef-
forts to end the nepotism and cronyism. I
have no doubt that they will attempt to
rein in our debt. The only problem is that
it will be done on the backs of the tax-
payers. The new council is chock full of the
usual suspects who will ensure that the
inefficient county government will remain
fat and happy, while the rest of us pony up
to pay for past misdeeds.
The council does not hire or fire under
the charter; the executive does. What will
this council do to an executive who trims
government? Fire him? Or will they just
ensure an executive is hired who fits their
agenda?
When will the people of this county
wake up? Apparently, not until they are all
taxed out of their houses and living in
concrete block apartments reminiscent of
what Ive seen behind the former Iron
Curtain. Then, of course, it will be too late.

ANY AMERICANS
are indifferent to the
continuingwar inAf-
ghanistan. The dec-
ade-long conflict is happening in
a place most citizens couldnt
point to on a map.
Because the public isnt inter-
ested in the details of such wars,
it takes something unusual to
capturepeoplesattention. When
a video of four U.S. Marines ap-
parently urinating on dead Tali-
banfightersshowedupontheIn-
ternet, there was an immediate
and visceral reaction disgust.
Thereis littlesympathyfor Ta-
liban soldiers among the Amer-
ican public, but there always
have been expectations of how
U.S. troops should behave, even
whenit comestodispatchingthe
enemy.
The abuse of a corpse is some-
thing no military, religious or
ethical precept sanctions.
The incident couldnt come at
a worse time for U.S. foreign pol-
icy. The Obama administration
wants to work with the Taliban
to end the war.
Wars are not about fair play;
theyre about killing the enemy.
But even warfare has certain
rules of decency. If the Marines
violated them, even after doing
their lethal duty, they must be
held accountable.

O
UR REGIONS prob-
lem with binge drink-
ingas highlightedin
a recent study by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention tends to be
treated here as if it were trivial,
something to be snickered
about between co-workers or
turned into tavern joke materi-
al.
Too bad more people in
Northeastern Pennsylvania
cant see binge drinking for
what it truly is a contributor
to our crime troubles anda con-
siderable health threat.
Binge drinking ruins lives.
Binge drinking destroys rela-
tionships and careers.
Binge drinking kills.
This subject deserves the at-
tention of area residents in dis-
cussions beyond barroom ban-
ter, and for reasons other than
delivering punch lines.
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
region ranks fourth in the na-
tion for its percentage of admit-
ted binge drinkers, at 21.4 per-
cent, according to the CDCs
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveil-
lance System data. Its assess-
ment is based on a 2010 tele-
phone survey, which got input
from residents of Luzerne,
Lackawanna and Wyoming
counties.
The CDC classifies a binge
drinker as amanwhohas fiveor
more alcoholic beverages in a
single occasion or a woman im-
bibing in four or more drinks.
College students often are
guilty of the reckless habit, but
the behavior extends to adults
of all ages and income brackets,
as reportedinaseries of articles
Sunday and Monday in The
Times Leader. In many cases, a
binge drinker doesnt have an
alcohol dependencybut instead
abuses it several times a month
for other reasons.
Binge drinking is a danger to
your health; its associatedwith,
among other maladies, alcohol
poisoning, liver disease, high
blood pressure, stroke and poor
control of diabetes. Consider,
also, the all-too-frequent,
drunken episodes involving car
crashes, falls, burns, shootings,
stabbings and fistfights.
Womens health advocates
and others should be equally
alarmedat bingedrinkings role
in these societal woes: unin-
tended pregnancy, sexually
transmitted diseases, domestic
violence andsexual assault. An-
other casualty: children born
with fetal alcohol spectrumdis-
orders.
And, of course, dont over-
look binge drinkings costly im-
pacts in terms of nuisance
crimes, property damage,
emergency treatment, police ef-
fort andsquanderedtaxdollars.
All told, its time that more
people in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania take a sobering look at
what can be done to discourage
binge drinking.

cast ballots, which the group and
many other critics say is especial-
ly discriminatory towardAfrican-
Americans and the poor.
South Carolinas new law was
rejected last month by the U.S.
Justice Department, but Gov.
Nikki Haley vowed to fight the
federal government in court. At
least a half-dozen other states
passed similar voter ID laws in
2011.
This has been quite a faith-
testing year. We have seen the
greatest attack on voting rights
since segregation, said Benja-
min Todd Jealous, president of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
The shift in tactics was also
noted by the keynote speaker,
U.S. Attorney General Eric Hold-
er. Last month, Holder said the
Justice Department was commit-
ted to fighting any laws that keep
people from the ballot box. He
told the crowd he was keenly
aware he couldnt have become
the nations first African-Ameri-
can attorney general without the
bloodshedby King andother civ-
il rights pioneers.
The right to vote is not only
the cornerstone of our govern-
ance, it is the lifeblood of our de-
mocracy. Andnoforcehas proved
more powerful, or more integral
to the success of the great Amer-
ican experiment, than efforts to
expand the franchise, Holder
said. Let me be very, very clear
the arc of American history
has bent toward the inclusion,
not the exclusion, of more of our
fellow citizens in the electoral
process. We must ensure that this
continues.
Texas new voter ID law is cur-
rently before the Justice Depart-
ment, which reviews changes in
voting laws in nine mostly South-
ern states because of their histo-
ry of discriminatory voting prac-
tices. Other states that passed
such laws in 2011included Alaba-
ma, Kansas, Mississippi, Rhode
Island, Tennessee and Wiscon-
sin.
Similar laws already were on
thebooks inGeorgiaandIndiana,
and they were approved by Presi-
dent George W. Bushs Justice
Department. Indianas law,
passedin2005, was upheldbythe
U.S. Supreme Court in 2008.
Critics have likenedthe laws to
the poll taxes and tests used to
prevent blacks from voting dur-
ing the civil rights era. Support-
ers, many of whom are Republi-
cans, say such laws are needed to
prevent fraud.
I signed a bill that would pro-
tect the integrity of our voting,
Haley said in a statement wel-
coming Holder to South Caroli-
na.
At the Atlanta church where
King once preached, the Rev. Ra-
phael G. Warnock said some in
America disrespect Kings legacy
by cutting off those for whomhe
died and the principles for which
he fought.
He called voter ID laws an af-
front to the memory of the civil
rights leader.
You cannot celebrate Dr. King
on Monday, and undermine peo-
ples ability to vote on Super
Tuesday, Warnock said.
The King Day rally in South
Carolina took place in the shad-
owof Saturdays Republican pres-
idential primary. State NAACP
President Lonnie Randolph said
people should vote any time they
can, but said his group is nonparti-
san. He said officials wouldnt en-
courage its members a general-
ly Democratic voting bloc to
disrupt the GOPs process of
choosing its nominee because we
dont do the mean things.
Jealous made one of the fewref-
erences to the GOP field during
Mondays rally, sayinghe was tired
of attacks on the movement, such
as cuts to education funding.
And Im real tired of dealing
withso-calledleaders whotalkout
of one side of their mouth about
celebrating the legacy of Dr. King
andthendo so muchout the other
side of their mouth to block every-
thing the man stood, fought and
died for, Jealous said.
TheKingDayrallyinSouthCar-
olina was first held in 2000 to call
for the Confederate flag to come
downoff thecapitol dome, andhas
continued after state leaders de-
cided instead to place the flag on a
30-foot pole on the Statehouse
lawn near a monument to Confed-
erate soldiers.
The flag was mentioned Mon-
day North Carolina NAACP
president the Rev. William Barber
called it a terrible, terroristic ban-
ner but it was not the focus.
The Confederate flagandvoter
ID laws are all examples of how
blacks cannot stop fighting for
civil rights, said 39-year-old
Llewlyn Walters of Columbia,
whose grandmother watched
King speak and whose mother
told himstories of the civil rights
movement as he grew up.

Wilson, a member of the
Christian Music Hall of Fame,
asked audience members to
share stories, snap fingers, clap
hands, stomp feet and sing along
to traditional spirituals such as
Wade in the Water and Glory,
Glory (Since I laid my burden
down).
Speaking between numbers,
Wilson talked about the impor-
tance of music in
bonding slaves to
one another and
to their newfound
Christian religion,
and eventually in
helping some es-
cape slavery
through the Un-
derground Rail-
road.
I dont think
that its possible to understand
spirituals unless you get in-
depth, Wilson said. Were go-

because you might not under-
stand tomorrow unless you un-
derstand what was yesterday for
me.
Misericordias Multicultural
Club and Office of Inclusive Ex-

My Facebook post said today,
Dr. King, Im just not sure, is
your dreambeing fulfilled or is it
a nightmare deferred, Richard-
son said. He said he cannot an-
swer that question, but said we
cannot be complacent. We need

forward.

THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2012

A
nyone who grew impatient
watching Joe Paternos lethar-
gic, sometimes listless brand of
basic, boring football is in for a real
treat.
At least thats what the Penn State
administration believes.
The Nittany Lions arent just pass-
ing the baton with the hiring of Bill
OBrien, theyre going to pass the ball
for a change.
Its not hard to see a new offensive
style coming.
The offense OBrien is currently
coordinating for the New England
Patriots scored 45 points and his quar-
terback Tom Brady just threw six
touchdown passes while destroying
Denver in an AFC playoff game Sat-
urday.
And while nobody expects OBrien
to transform current Penn State quar-
terbacks Matt McGloin and Rob Bol-
den into replicas of Brady, the Lions
do anticipate the new coach bringing a
more explosive system to State Col-
lege.
Youre going to see some offensive
football, predicted John Nichols, who
was part of Penn States search com-
mittee for a new head coach. Youre
not going to see the offense sluggish.
A gameplan thatll wow you wasnt
necessarily a priority on the list of the
Penn State hierarchy looking for Pa-
ternos replacement. But hiring a guru
of a lot of points and a lot more yards
couldnt hurt as an attraction.
An added bonus, Nichols called
OBriens offensive expertise.
That should make fans in Happy
Valley very happy.
Theyve been whining for years
about the plodding, unimaginative
offense Penn State ran under Paterno.
It always seemed to produce three
yards and a cloud of disgust.
I did hear a little bit of that, Ni-
chols said.
Now hear this.
The Lions are finally moving out of
the Dark Age.
Were going to move into a new
era, OBrien said when he was in-
troduced as Penn States 15th head
coach.
He promises Penn States offense
will be on the move, too.
Georgia Tech led the ACC in pass-
ing yardage and finished third in scor-
ing when OBrien was the offensive
coordinator there in 2001. And in his
first season as New Englands offensive
coordinator, the Patriots led the AFC
in scoring while averaging over 32
points this season, and they finished
second in the league in both passing
offense and total offense.
And the farther the Patriots go in
the playoffs, the more impressive
OBrien looks to potential Penn State
recruits.
Wouldnt you want to play for a
Super Bowl champion?
I think you come in with instant
credibility. Because of who he is and
where hes coming from, said Penn
State defensive line coach Larry John-
son, who was one of two holdovers
from Paternos old staff retained by
OBrien. I think our players will em-
brace him very early.
But will the Penn State faithful?
Only if OBrien wins. And despite
the flash and dash his offenses put up,
his past college teams have had trou-
ble sustaining success.
The people who hired him at Penn
State dont seem worried about that.
Hes smart, hes got a great style
about him, Nichols said of OBrien.
This guys going to win football
games. And hes going to build a real
exciting offense, which Beaver Stadi-
um needs these days.
What Penn State really needs is
immediate victories. Without them,
that instant offense wont seem nearly
as good as Paternos good ol days.

MELBOURNE, Australia After
surrendering her opening service game
with a double-fault, Wimbledon cham-
pion Petra Kvitova won 12 consecutive
games in a 6-2, 6-0 win Tuesday over
Russias Vera Dushevina to move into
the second round of the Australian
Open.
Wearing the purple color synony-
mous with Wimbledon, the No. 2-
ranked Kvitova underlined her growing
stature on the womens tour by not giv-
ing Dushevina a second chance. The 21-
year-old Czech broke her Russian rivals
serve three times in each set and fin-
ished off Tuesdays opening match on
Rod Laver Arena in an hour.
Kvitova reached the quarterfinals
here last year at the start of a season in
which she surged up the rankings. Last
week, she missed a chance to overhaul
Caroline Wozniackis No. 1 ranking
whenshelost intheSydneyInternation-
al semifinals. She needed to win the
Sydney tournament to take the top
ranking.
But she gets another chance at Mel-
bourne Park, where shes one of six
women who can finish No. 1.
I have great memories of this court
from last year, when I came out, every-
thingcame backinmyhead, she saidin
a post-match TV interview. It was
nice.
It gave her the confidence to win her
first major later in the year.
The Wimbledon title was a surprise
for me, she said. Nobody expected it,
or knew I could be No. 2.
Other women advancing included
No. 27 Maria Kirilenko, who beat Aus-
tralian hope Jarmila Gajdosova 6-4, 6-2,
Canadas Aleksandra Wozniak and Sha-
har Peer of Israel.
Mens No. 5 seed David Ferrer ad-
vanced in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, over
Rui Machado of Portugal. Germanys
Philipp Petzschner routed Czech Re-
publics Lukas Rosol 6-0, 6-0, 6-2 to ad-
vance.

Antrel Rolle doesnt come from
the Tom Coughlin mold for the

Theres a touch of Jets coach
Rex Ryan in him. The safety says
whats on his mind and he doesnt
care if it irritates an opponent,
even if Coughlin doesnt approve
of the message.
And that
brings us to the
NFC title game
Sunday in San
Francisco.
The only way
the Giants (11-7)
dont beat the
Niners (14-3)
and advance to
the Super Bowl
in Indianapolis
is if they beat
themselves, a
cocky Rolle saidMonday, a day af-
ter New York ended the Packers
hopes for thesecondstraight NFL
title with a 37-20 win in Green
Bay.
The victory was the Giants
fourthstraight andclearlythis is a
team that is playing its best foot-
ball after a season marked by in-
consistency. Eli Manning and his
brigade of receivers continue to
make play after play, while the de-
fense is once again harassing
quarterbacks and slowing down
potent offenses in the process.
It is 2007all over again, theyear
the Giants made a late season run
to their third Super Bowl title.
Wearenot goingtobedenied,
saidRolle, whowas not a member
of the teamthat beat the-then un-
defeated Patriots in February
2008 for the championship. We
are not going to be denied at this
point. We understand what we
have as a team. Its not all talent,
its about chemistry and we are
jelling at this point. Coaches and
players being one the same page
at the same time. We have one
mind, to win a championship.
When asked if the Giants were
unstoppableafter followinga24-2
win over the Falcons in the wild-
card with the throttling of the Aa-
ron Rodgers and the Packers
(15-2), Rolle didnt hesitate.
Wedont want tosayweareun-
stoppable, saidthesix-year veter-
an who appeared in a Super Bowl
with the Cardinals in 2009. Our
mindset is extreme at this point.
We are not going to be denied,
that is our mindset. I may be a lit-

know we cant be beat. Thats the
approach we are taking week in,

PLYMOUTH It was the kind of start
Hazleton Area coach Joe Gavio wanted.
It was the kind of finish Wyoming Val-
ley West coach Curt Lloyd needed.
The Spartans trailed by eight points
early, but rallied for a 44-40 victory in
Wyoming Valley Conference girls basket-
ball play Monday.
I brought them in around 12 oclock,
Lloydsaidof his teams day, as school was
not in session. I didnt want them to sit
around on the couch all day. Not having
school on the holiday took them out of
their everyday routine.
We had a pretty good
shootaround, though.
Becca Zamonis 3-
pointer from the right
wing capped a 10-2 start
by the Cougars. Hazle-
ton Area forced eight
first-quarter turnovers and carried the
lead late into the second quarter.
Zamonis had a team-high 13 points.
Valley West finished with 23 turnovers
and Hazleton Area had 20.
Wejumpedout onthemearly, but they
are a very good team, Gavio said. We
were making plays on defense and then
throwing the ball away.
Valley West enjoyed a 33-16 run over a
17-minute span fromlate in the first quar-
ter tolate inthe thirdquarter. Cassie Smi-
cherko (10 points) made consecutive
jumpers, then had a steal and dished to
Cheyenne Reese (12 points) for a layup in
a 44-second stretch of the second quarter
to give the Spartans a 19-18 lead.
They extended it to five points (24-19)

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2012 PAGE 3B
S P O R T S
It was odd
watching Holy
Redeemer play
last week.
Where was
6-foot-11 Peter
Alexis? And
do-everything
guard Austin Carr? And the
200-mph play of Steve Ruch?
And all those other guys who
led to the Royals success over
the past few seasons?
Gone. Gone. Gone. And gone.
In their place was a bunch of
strangers in Redeemer uniform.
It was as if a team was bussed
in from another part of the state
to fill in for the familiar-faced
Royals of the past.
After awhile, though, it was
easier to warm up to these
Royals as they defeated Dallas
65-57, a score that really didnt
indicate how much they con-
trolled the Mountaineers.
Right now, there are two
distinct groups on the Royals.
There are the seniors Will
Cavanaugh, Ryan DeRemer and
Dalton Ell who will serve as a
bridge as Redeemer retools
with a talented sophomore
class.
And that sophomore class
and in particular the three that
saw action versus Dallas
could be cornerstones for years
to come. Mike Boutanos has the
makings of a fine guard. Mike
Prociak showed signs he could
become a dominant inside play-
er. He already has the size at
6-foot-7. And Shahael Wallace is
going to find his niche, either as
the off guard or at one of the
forward spots.
Of course, there have been
some down moments, like Fri-
days 53-47 loss to Wyoming
Valley West that dropped the
Royals to 5-7 overall. But if they
endure through what is a rough
season by Redeemers standard,
good times could be around the
corner.
A REAL ROAD TRIP
District 4s Williamsport,
which participates in the Dis-
trict 2 Class 4A playoffs, played
a game Wednesday against an
opponent really outside the
region. The Millionaires played
a team from China Nanyang
Model High School from Shang-
hai and won 60-31.
Nanyang Model is doing an
eight-game tour of the United
States.
GET THE BROOMS OUT?
Hazleton Areas 42-40 victory
over Crestwood last week could
be a sign of things to come.
Over the past four seasons, the
winner of the first meeting also
won the second time.
Crestwood swept Hazleton
Area in the 2007-08 and 2010-11
seasons. The Cougars won both
games in 2008-09 and 2009-10.
The teams played three times
in 2006-07, with Hazleton Area
winning twice including a play-
off game for the Division I title.
WE WANT EM ALL
Coaches are reminded to tell
their scorekeepers or whoever
reports the game to The Times
Leader to include everyone who
played regardless if they
scored or not. Conference statis-
tics could get skewed if non-
scoring players are omitted
from the report.
In particular, teams that fax
in games that have the entire
roster on the sheet should
scratch out players who didnt
play and write a zero next to
the ones who did but didnt
score.
DRESS APPROPRAITELY
GAR is at Meyers on Sat-
urday in a game that will cer-
tainly decide the Division III
first-half title. It should also
draw a big crowd to Meyers
tiny gym.
The expected big crowd and
oppressive heat in the gym
could make for a miserable
time. So for comforts sake,
keep the wool sweater at home.

night, Lloyd said. We put our-
selves in position to compete
for the first half championship.
We still control our own desti-
ny.
Valley West led 37-31 early in
the fourth quarter when Hazle-
ton Area took the lead one last
time. Alyssa Sitch made a bas-
ket from the left corner, then
had a steal and went in on a
breakaway to make it 37-36
Spartans. Josie Bachmans two
free throws after ripping the
ball from the hands of a Valley
West player and leading the
break gave the Cougars the
lead.
They were up six and we
made that run, Gavio said.
Alyssa made those two baskets
and we came all the way back.
Then they got those rebounds
and made those. That hurt.
The Spartans got stickbacks
from Reese and Taylor Reilly
(seven rebounds) to take the
lead for good.
Tara Zdancewicz had 13
points and nine rebounds for
Valley West, which owned the
boards 35-19.
Bachman finished with eight
steals and Rachel Ciccozzi had
eight blocks for Hazleton Area.

Rafael Nadal, wholost his No. 1
ranking and six finals to Djokovic
last year, wonderedif hedevenbe
able to play his first-round match
at the Australian Open on Mon-
day after his right knee cracked
and cramped and caused him
unbelievable pain on the eve of
the tournament.
He already had plenty on his
mind going into the years first
Grand Slam tournament. There
was his ailing shoulder and his
spat with Roger Federer over
player conditions on the tour, a
rare clash between these respect-
ful rivals that has since been
smoothed over.
After hours of medical tests
and treatment, Nadal decided to
play but was scared when he
took the court against American
qualifier Alex Kuznetsov. Judg-
ing by the scoreline, the outcome
looked very matter of fact: Nadal
won 6-4, 6-1, 6-1.
Nadal and Federer are in the
same half of the draw at a major
for the first time since 2005.
Third-seeded Federer started
his bid for a 17th major title with
a 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 win over Alexander
Kudryavtsev of Russia, showing
no signs of a back problemwhich
forced him out of a Doha tourna-
ment earlier this month. He then
just as quickly batted away any
notion of a simmering feud with
Nadal. Ever the statesman, Fe-
derer conceded that players dif-
feredonways of resolving certain
issues and things are fine be-
tween us ... We cant always agree
on everything.
MardyFish, thehighest-ranked
of the American men, opened
with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 win over Lux-
embourgs Gilles Muller.
Defending champion Kim Clij-
sters beat Portuguese qualifier
Maria Joao Koehler 7-5, 6-1 and
didnt seem troubled by the hip
spasms that caused her to retire

week out.
The waythe Giants are playing,
its hard to argue with Rolle.
In the past four games, the Gi-
ants have outscored their oppo-
nents 121-50. Opponents have
been limited to 22 points in the
postseason, and that total should
have an asterisk. The Falcons got
two points when Manning was
called for illegally grounding a
ball in the end zone and the Pack-
ers two touchdowns came on
drives where questionable calls
by the officials kept both drives
alive.
We believe the only people
who can stop us is us, punter
Steve Weatherford said. Im just
speaking from the mood in the
locker room, fromthe confidence
we have. As a punter, its not like I
control thegameas muchas these
guys, but as a punter I have more
time to notice things and, for me,
its a confidence thing right now.
We have incredible personnel and
that incredible personnel is being
very productive right now. It
starts withour D-lineandquarter-
back, whenthose guys are rolling,
its tough to stop us.
Linebacker Michael Boley,
whosereturntothelineupinearly
December helped get the defense
backontrack, saidthereisnomys-
tery why the Giants were beaten
27-20 in their trip to Candlestick
Park on Nov. 13. They lost turn-
over battle, gaveuptwobigtouch-
downplaysandsawSanFrancisco
recover a surprise onside kick to
set up a field goal.
Even with all that, the Giants
had a final drive stall at the San
Francisco 10 when Justin Smith
battled down a fourth-down pass
by Manning.
Like Rolle, Boley believes the
Giants control their destiny.
Nodoubt about it, saidBoley,
who had nine tackles and two
sacks on Sunday. That has been
shown throughout the course of
thisyear. All thegameswelost, we
lost. Its not like one teamcame in
here and absolutely killed us or
therewasnowayweweregoingto
beat them. We beat ourselves.
Veteran defensive end Dave
Tollefsondoesnt thinktheGiants
are being brash. He said this is a
very focused team. He saw it on
the plane ride home from Green
Bay. Guys were already watching
filmon San Francisco.
This journey isnt over, he
said when asked if players took
time out to celebrate. You just
have to keep going. Everybody
else around you is going for it, so
you have to keep moving for-
ward.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. No
team in the NFL had a better
home record than the Baltimore
Ravens, who are headed to the
AFC championship game on the
strength of their 9-0 mark at
M&T Bank Stadium.
Unfortunately, their pathtothe
Super Bowl calls for a road trip to
New England.
Baltimore (13-4) would have
had home-field advantage
throughout the playoffs if not for
its mediocre 4-4 record on the
road. The Ravens last loss, a 34-
14 rout in San Diego on Dec. 18,
cost them the top seed in the
AFC.
Playingas the No. 2 seed, Balti-
more returned froma bye to beat
the Houston Texans 20-13 at
home on Sunday. That complet-
ed the Ravens first perfect sea-
sonat home. Theonlyother team
to finish unbeaten at home was
New Orleans (8-0).
It was awesome. We love be-
ing at home, linebacker Jarret
JohnsonsaidMonday, well aware
that Baltimores next home game
will be in the preseason in Au-
gust.
If the Ravens are to get to Indi-
anapolis, site of the Super Bowl,
theymust beat the Patriots (14-3)
in Foxborough on Sunday.
Baltimore defeated New En-
gland in the playoffs on the road
after the 2009 season, but its
overall record against the Patri-
ots is 1-6 including a 27-24 de-
feat in 2007 in Baltimore, a 27-21
loss in New England in 2009 and
a 23-20 setback in overtime last
season.
The last four times we played
them, goingbackto97, all four of
them have been wars, Johnson
said. Even though theyve won
three of the four, they had to earn
it. This one is not going to be any
different. Its going to be an ex-
tremely intense situation and en-
vironment, and were looking for-
ward to it. Its going to be fun.
Baltimore has proven it can
win playoff games on the road.
In addition to that 33-14 win in
NewEngland, the Ravens won in
Miami and Tennessee after the
2008 seasonanddefeatedKansas
City at Arrowhead Stadium last
season.

scored them 20-10 the rest of
the way, as Chauncey Billups
scored nine of his 20 points in
the final 4:23 including a
clinching 3-pointer with 1:09

It was the third straight
victory for the Clippers, who
never trailed en route to their

Jarrett Jack scored 21, while
Emeka Okafor added 12 points
and 10 rebounds for the Horn-
ets, whove lost four straight
and 10 of 11.
New Orleans was plagued by
poor perimeter shooting, going
0 of 9 from 3-point range, and

calf. Reserve guard James
Johnson didnt play because of
a sprained right ankle.
The Raptors twice cut the
lead to one late in the third

Analyst: Insurers could pay
$800 million for shipwreck
Carnival Corp.s wrecked cruise ship,
the Costa Concordia, may cost insurers
as much as $800 million once employ-
ers liability claims are paid and the
vessel is removed, according to analy-
sts at Numis Securities.
The cost of the disaster to insurers is
likely to make the Costa Concordia the
largest marine loss on record, said Joy
Ferneyhough, a London-based analyst
at Espirito Santo Investment Bank.
The vessel cost $569 million to build
when commissioned in 2004, according
to a press release at the time.
The grounding will cost the compa-
ny as much as $95 million, or between
11 cents and 12 cents a share in fiscal
2012, it said.
French debt sells well
The Moodys rating agency said
Monday it was maintaining Frances
top triple A rating and stable outlook,
just days after rival Standard & Poors
downgraded the countrys debt over
concerns for its economy and Europes
ability to get a handle on its debt woes.
Markets seemed to shrug off the
S&P downgrade, which had been ex-
pected for weeks. France easily sold
about $10.9 billion of debt with very
short maturities.
On the secondary markets, where
the issued bonds are later traded open-
ly, the interest rate on Frances bench-
mark 10-year bond fell, indicating in-
vestors feel France remains a relatively
good bet.
Zappos accounts hacked
Online shoe seller Zappos.com says a

Customers credit card and payment
information was not stolen, but names,
phone numbers, email addresses, bill-
ing and shipping addresses, the last
four digits from credit cards and more
may have been accessed in the attack,
according to an email that CEO Tony
Hsieh sent on Sunday to employees.
Zappos is contacting customers by
email and urging them to change their
passwords.
Zappos is owned by Amazon.com.
Jobs doll wont be sold
The company that began advertising
an incredibly lifelike Steve Jobs doll
wont sell the figurines after all because
of pressure from family and Apple
lawyers.
In Icons had planned to offer the
1-foot-tall, lifelike figure dressed in
Jobs trademark black mock turtleneck,
rimless glasses and jeans.
But the company posted a statement
on its website Sunday saying it had
received immense pressure to drop
the plan.
Mini Coopers recalled
BMW of North America is volun-
tarily recalling nearly 89,000 Mini
vehicles because of a water pump mal-
function that could cause a fire.
The company said in a regulatory
filing Monday that the water pump
that cools the turbocharger in some of
its cars has a circuit board that can
malfunction and overheat.
BMW will replace the pump at no
cost to owners.
Hospital bills for millions
Patients at a New York City hospital
are getting billed for tens of millions of
dollars because of a computer error.
Unemployed doorman Alexis Rodri-
guez says he almost became ill when
he received a $44.8 million bill from
the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center.
Turns out the company that prepares
the bills had mistakenly put the invoice
number in the space where the invoice
amount should go.

YOU CAN GET a lot
done by waving your
arms around these
days. Motion-sensi-
tive gesture control,
the technology that
makes it possible,
has been in the video game market
for a while, and is now being adapt-
ed to other uses.
Take the Xbox Kinect, for exam-
ple. Simply speaking, it uses an in-
frared projector coupled with a cam-
era to generate a 3D picture of what-
ever it happens to be pointed at
(usually the player), and then uses
high-end motion-capture software to
interpret what its seeing.
Players can control the games
using only the movements of their
bodies.
Kinect uses common USB connec-
tors to plug into an Xbox, and its
also compatible with PCs. Since
Microsoft made the Kinect software
relatively accessible, it wasnt long
before innovators began developing
their own uses for the technology.
People have improvised loads of
practical adaptations, including the
ability to control computers and
software with gestures alone no
keyboard, mouse or touch-screen
required.
Demonstrations of similar tech-
nology have started to pop up in all
sorts of places since Kinect was
released.
Auto manufacturers have demon-
strated how vehicle controls can be
operated by hand motions, and mak-
ers of surgical equipment have done
the same.
In general, I think this is an im-
pressive technology with huge po-
tential -- both in and out of enter-
tainment. The one downside with
motion control versus touch-screen
controls or even a good old-fash-
ioned keyboard and mouse is that
the sort of motions required for
typing, tapping and clicking are
generally fairly decisive and result
from contact with a physical object.
Gestures are another matter en-
tirely, subject to unconscious cues,
cultural factors, mood, injuries and
so on. Imagine if 20 years from now
theyre using this technology to fly
planes and someone gets a shoulder
cramp.
Despite that drawback, you can
probably imagine that motion track-
ing, combined with 3D or virtual
reality technology, could be used to
create a completely immersive envi-
ronment without the drawback of
needing a keyboard, mouse or game
controller to provide interaction. As
for the Kinect itself, you can prob-
ably live without one for now but
it, or something like it, will probably
be essential in a few years.
Do I think that the technology will
continue to take off? Absolutely.
Would I use it to make a plane take
off? Probably not.

ILKES-BARRE A new
restaurant run by newly
minted entrepreneurs is
coming to the University
Corners complex in downtown.
Akeno Sushi will open in the space
formerly occupied by Bonvies Beefy
King, 72 S. Main St. The restaurant
will be owned and operated by hus-
band and wife John and Teresa Qiu of
Nanticoke.
Akeno, JohnQiusaid, means bright
lights and sunshine, and he hopes his
new restaurant will provide plenty of
both for the downtown.
Thedowntownisabusyplace, Qiu
said. There are a lot of people walking
by here every day.
The couple have worked at other lo-
cal restaurants and felt it was time to
strike out on their own.
Were excited about this, John Qiu
said.
He described the new place as a
familysushi restaurant that will offer
a fine dining experience for all ages.
Our motto will be Always yummy
and fresh, Qiu said.
Worktoprepare the space was going
on Monday and Qiu said he hopes to
have it ready for a grand opening in
early March.
We have the movie theater around
the corner and two colleges (Kings
and Wilkes) to draw from, Qiu said.
And there are many downtown busi-
nesses with many employees.
Despite those advantages, the block-
long redevelopment has struggled to
retain businesses. Bonvies Beefy King
opened in June 2010 in space previous-
ly occupied by a Quiznos franchise
that lasted less than two years. Beefy
King closed after less than a year. The
adjacent Blue Chip Gourmet closed in
Oct., 27 months after opening.
Januzzis Pizza, located on the East
Northampton Street faade, has oper-
ated continuously since opening in Ju-
ly 2007.
Qiu said the new restaurant will be
open Monday through Thursday from
11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Friday and Satur-
dayfrom11a.m. to10p.m., andSunday
from11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Qiu said Akeno will be a different
style sushi restaurant from the long-
established Katana in Midtown Vil-
lage, at the other end of the block.
We will be more like a New York
City-style restaurant, Qiu said. Kata-
na is more traditional.
There will be a large sushi bar and
several booths and tables, Qiu said,
and Akeno also will provide take-out
orders.
Qiu said Akeno will have hibachi
dinners prepared in the kitchen.
We wont have the performance-
type hibachi presentations, he said.
He said six employees will work at
the restaurant including the owners.
This will be good for my wife and I
and our family, Qiu said.

FREEPORT, Maine Back in the
days before retailers like Gap, J. Crewor
American Outfitters, there were guys
like L.L. Bean, Eddie Bauer, David Aber-
crombie and Ezra Fitch.
In Maine, L.L. Bean found success
without consumer research, focus
groups or fashionistas totell himwhat to
sell. He sold only products that he per-
sonallyusedandtested. He backedthem
with a money-back satisfaction guaran-
tee. And his larger-than-life personality
was projected in his catalogs, where he
came across as someone customers
could trust.
The important part of L.L. was his
personality. He was a hardy, enthusias-
tic, outgoingguy. He shoutedmost of his
conversations because he was hard of
hearing and assumed everyone else was,
too. Hewas a genuinepresence, saidhis
grandson, Leon Gorman, chairman of
the board.
The retailer that celebrates the out-
doors with Leon Leonwood Beans Yan-
kee sense of value is kicking off its 100th
birthday celebration this week with the
unveiling of a giant version of its iconic
hunting boot set on four wheels. Itll be
rolling into New York City on Wednes-
day.
A century later, the family-owned re-
tailer that started with Beans hunting
shoe in 1912 has grown into a business
witha $1.5billioninprojectedsales inits
2011 fiscal year.
Along the way, the company has suc-
cessfully expanded froma catalog retail-
er to an online retailer and a bricks-and-
mortar retailer, and has managed to cre-
ate a customer loyalty thats envied by
others, said Kevin Lane Keller, a brand-
ing expert at the Tuck School of Busi-
ness at Dartmouth University.
They had an iconic catalog that they
had figured out. Now theyre having to
look at other ways to sell. Thats part of
modern retailing: You have multiple
channels, he said.
The company has recovered lost
ground during the recession, but con-
sumer confidence remains a concern as
retailers continue to discount merchan-
dise to entice consumers.
Long term, the nations sedentary life-
style is as big a concern as competitors
ranging from outdoors retailers like Ca-
belas to catalog merchandisers like
Lands End. For us the challenge is peo-
ple spending less time outside and en-
gagedintraditional activities, saidcom-
pany spokeswoman Carolyn Beem.

PITTSBURGH The huge, belch-
ing smokestacks of electric power
plants have long symbolized air pollu-
tion woes. But a shift is under way:
More and more electric plants around
the nation are being fueled by natural
gas, which is far cleaner than coal, the
traditional fuel.
Nationwide, the electricity generat-
edby gas-firedplants has risenby more
than 50 percent over the last decade,
while coal-fired generation has de-
clined slightly.
Most of the people I know in the
electric power industry are building
natural gas plants, said Jay Apt, a pro-
fessor of technology at Carnegie Mel-
lon University in Pittsburgh. Thats be-
cause of low prices over the last few
years and the relatively low cost of
building such plants, compared with
coal-fired or nuclear.
But Apt cautions that the trend
could stall because if too many plants
embrace cheapgas, it wont stay cheap.
The surest route to $6 or $8 gas is
for everybody to plan on $4 gas, Apt
said. Natural gas is priced per million
BTU.
Apt notedtherewas ahugebuilding
boom in natural gas plants from the
late 1990s to 2004. There were predic-
tions that prices would stay low over
the long term.
But natural gas prices spiked, and
the new gas-fired plants stayed idle
much of the time.
Still, history may not repeat itself be-
cause of the huge surge in supply from
Marcellus Shale gas drilling.

Q: I read your article
regarding certain
metallic tastes that
people experience in
their mouth. I have
had a frustrating
problem with a bitter
taste in my mouth for
the past year. Ive seen
many doctors and my dentist about it.
Ive tried vitamins with zinc, and Ive
even eliminated my medications one at
a time for 15 days apiece all to no
avail. Ive tried mouthwashes, candies,
and antacids without help. I started
dialysis almost a year ago and the bit-
ter taste started a little before that. Is
there anything that you can recom-
mend to eliminate this taste?
V.A., Springfield, Pa.
A: I wish that there was something
that I could suggest, but the reason
why youre having that bitter taste
(some describe a metallic taste sensa-
tion) is because of severe chronic kid-
ney disease. The job of the kidneys is
to get rid of waste products, and in
your case, theres a buildup because the
kidneys are functioning poorly so
poorly that you now require dialysis
treatments to filter your blood. In a
healthy state, the kidneys are working
around the clock to keep waste prod-
ucts from building up in the blood.
Dialysis treatments are nowhere near
as effective as a healthy set of kidneys.
You mentioned in your letter that on
some days, the taste is stronger than
others. I would expect that your symp-
toms are probably at their worst when
youre due for dialysis and they im-
prove within hours after your dialysis
treatment. Im not aware of any kinds
of masking agents thatll help you, but
maybe your nephrologist can help by
better treating the underlying cause.
Q: Why are colds much more com-
mon in the winter than at other times
of the year?
W.S., Lithonia, Ga.
A: Its no coincidence that more
colds, more flu and more sinus infec-
tions occur in the winter than at other
times of the year. The nasal lining and
the upper respiratory tract are your first
barriers against infection. When the air
starts to get dry in the fall the house
starts to dry out. It pulls moisture into
the walls, ceiling and floor, causing you
to dry out, too. The first thing you notice
is a stuffy nose. As the nasal tissues dry
out and thin even more, tiny capillaries
in your nose are exposed, causing blood-
tinged mucus when you blow your nose.
The next thing that happens is that body
tissues dry out even more, revealing
cracks and defects in the lining of the
nose and upper respiratory tract. Those
cracks allow viruses and bacteria to
penetrate and make you sick.
First of all, be sure to use home humid-
ifiers during the winter months to keep
those tissues in the nose and upper air-
way from drying out. Other things thatll
help: good hand-washing; adequate sleep;
good nutrition and hydration; correcting
a lowblood level of vitamin D; and limit-
ing close contact with those folks who
might be sneezing or coughing.

reason for bitter
mouth taste
Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing

Women often are eager to shed
extra weight after pregnancy,
but the first workouts should be
gentle and follow medical advice,
doctors say. Its important that
the focus of the first two weeks
be taking care of the new baby
and getting sufficient rest, says
Dr. Jeffrey Henke, an obstetri-
cian/gynecologist in Newport
News, Va. Some tips:
Know the benefits. Exercising
soon after childbirth is primarily
good for mental health pos-
sibly guarding against post-
partum depression not for
shedding baby weight. So do
what feels good, not anything
exhausting. Note: walking after a
caesarian also reduces the risk
of rare but dangerous blood
clots in the legs.
Listen to your body. If youre
feeling well, a low-intensity
workout such as a 30-minute
walk is fine within days of a
vaginal or caesarian delivery. But
dont try to push through pain
caused by tears or scars from
childbirth.
Dont worry about specific goals.
You may get discouraged if you
dont hit a certain length or pace
right away.
Gradually build intensity. About
two or three weeks after deliv-
ery, workouts that are safe for
late in pregnancy generally are
fine again: moderate aerobics,
light resistance exercises, mod-
ified push-ups or whatever else
your doctor green-lights.
Follow post-caesarian rules. For
the first six weeks or until clear-
ed by your doctor, avoid exercis-
es that put direct strain on your
incision. That includes sit-ups,
stair-steppers or lifting weights
heavier than 25 pounds; some
doctors recommend lifting noth-
ing heavier than your baby.
Work around breastfeeding. Nurs-
ing mothers need more fluids to
prevent dehydration, so drink
plenty of water before, during
and after workouts. To avoid
breast discomfort, try to nurse
or pump shortly before exercis-
ing and invest in a good sports
bra.

Dralle wasted little time after
he learned doctors could do no
more to treat his throat cancer.
He took spur-of-the-moment
trips, got his affairs in order
and, when he finally agreed to
care at San Diego Hospice, he
documented his life story.
Using a technique called dig-
nity therapy, psychologist Lori
Montross interviewed Dralle
five months before his death
about meaningful life mo-
ments, lessons hed learned and
those he wished to pass on to
loved ones. She transcribed
their audio recordings, then
read the transcript aloud to

Dr. Stanley J. Dudrick, medical
director of the Physician As-
sistant pro-
gram and
recipient of
the first

chair at
Misericordia
University,
recently
received the
Nathan
Smith, M.D., Distinguished
Service Award from the New
England Surgical Society at its
92nd Annual Meeting in Bret-
ton Woods, N.H. The award
recognizes exceptional scien-
tific and clinical contributions
to surgery, as well as commit-
ment to providing community
service and care to those most
in need. Dr. Dudrick is also the
chairman emeritus of the
Department of Surgery and
director emeritus of Program
in Surgery at St. Marys Hospi-
tal, a Yale-affiliated teaching
hospital. He also holds an
appointment as professor of
surgery in the Yale Uni-
versity School of Medicine.
The Nanticoke native is
known as a pioneer in the
academic, clinical and med-
ical fields. His innovative
development and successful
clinical application of the
specialized central venous
feeding technique, known as
intravenous hyperalimenta-
tion or total parenteral
nutrition, has been de-
scribed as one of the four
most significant accomplish-
ments in the history of the
development of modern
surgery. It also has been
acknowledged as one of the
three most important ad-
vancements in surgery
during the past century
along with open heart sur-
gery and organ transplanta-
tion.

has beensteadilyrising2percent a
year for the last 25 years. Equally
disturbing, survival rates have not
improved.
The lack of progress has
spawned new thinking by physi-
cians and researchers, prompting
theformationof anewmedical spe-
cialty, called AYA, to care for ado-
lescents and young adults. Treat-
ment for these patients must com-
bine specialized emotional as well
as medical care, according to ex-
perts.
With this group of patients, we
must also offer psychological ser-
vices, said Dr. Michael Harris, di-
rector of Tomorrows Childrens In-
stitute at Hackensack University
Medical Center. They are enter-
ing a worldthey never knewabout
and they need to develop coping
strategies that will help themnavi-
gate this world.
Researchers believe a number of
conditions have contributed to
problems treating young cancer
patients. There is a poor under-
standing of the biology and causes
of cancer in this population and
few clinical trials. Diagnosis is of-
ten delayed in this population.
But with the emphasis on this
age group, doctors at the John
Theurer Cancer Center at Hacken-
sack said they have had some suc-
cess with AYA leukemia patients
by giving these patients the re-
gimens they use for younger chil-
dren rather than those they use on
adults.
Were seeing about 90 percent
of acute leukemia patients cured,
Harris said. And we found we can
cut down on the amount of radi-
ation that can cause sterility, infer-
tility or secondary cancers in pa-
tients with Hodgkins.
Diseases behave differently in
people of various ages andgeneral-
ly, children are stronger, Harris
said. With leukemia, for example,
we found that our results are far
better when most of these young
adults are treated with a regimen
used for pediatrics. We are able to
use a more aggressive chemother-
apy and we allow children to have
much lower blood counts than we
do for adults.
Researchers are struggling to
findout why the number of diseas-
es most prevalent inthese patients
lymphomas, sarcomas, acute
leukemia, bone tumors, soft-tissue
andnervous-systemcancershas
been slowly but steadily rising.
Nearly 72,000 AYAs nationwide
develop some type of cancer an-
nually, according to the National
Cancer Institute, which considers
this grouptoinclude15- to39-year-
olds.
Nowthat more are being treat-
ed with pediatric protocols, I be-
lieve well see some improve-
ment, Harris said.
Teens have also suffered from a
lack of emotional support.
JillianHill, a13-year-oldfromLo-
di, N.J., was dejected when a class-
matesaidhedidnt want tobenear
her because he thought her brain
tumor was contagious.
Treatment for leukemia has left
15-year-old Shaheem Crooks so
weak at times he can barely get off
the couch. Thoughhe tries tokeep
a positive outlook, the Teaneck,
N.J., resident cant shaketheimage
of his mother fainting to the floor
after hearing his diagnosis.
As if the teen years dont come
withenoughangst about looksand
fitting in, Aesha Vyas has had to
deal with the damage her cancer
did to her jaw.
Kids will point and ask, What
happened to your face? and I tell
them I had cancer, said Aesha, a
soft-spoken teen who is going
through reconstructive surgery.
They usually dont say anything
after that. But it bothers me.
Harris has long been concerned
about howthese teen patients fare
outside of treatment.
Gettingcancerat that agereally
puts theminapositionwheretheir
independence can be lost and
treatment can alter the way they
lookandtheyhavetofacethat, he
said.

I had neuropathy for 7 years. They said the nerves would die and I would be in
a wheel chair. I couldnt sleep with the covers on my feet as the burning was
so bad from my feet to half way up my calf. I had electric shocks, pulsating
throbbing pains through my toes and intense numbness. At the same time
my feet to touch felt like ice. I had the Neuropathy Centers treatment done
and now I can sleep at night. I would say I have at least 50% of my feeling
back and seldom have stinging in my toes. I cant sing the praises enough for
the people of the Neuropathy Center. They are so positive!

Dralles longtime partner, Lisa
Amparan, remembers the sense
of importance Dralle felt in being
able to contribute something in
his ailing state, and the relief he
felt when it was finished, as
thoughhedgottensomething off
his plate.
He got to tell his own story in
his own words, and no one had to
tell it for him, said Amparan, 48,
who this month marks the first
anniversary of Dralles death.
She keeps the binder, which she
decorated with photos, on a bed-
room bookshelf, and leafs
through it when she misses him
most.
Dignity therapy, an exercise
that aims to give terminally ill
patients a sense of meaning, clo-
sure and posterity in their final
days, has experienced a surge of
interest recently thanks to re-
search showing it improves qual-
ity of life more effectively than
other methods of end-of-life care.
A study published this sum-
mer in the journal Lancet Oncol-
ogy found patients who under-
went dignity therapy were signif-
icantly more likely to report en-
hanced sense of dignity, better
spiritual well-being and feeling
more helpful to their families
than those who underwent stan-
dard palliative care or client-cen-
tered care, which is when clini-
cians work one-on-one with a pa-
tient on current issues.
Earlier studies have shown
dignity therapy also provides
comfort to grieving families.
Study author Dr. Harvey Cho-
chinov, a Canadian psychiatrist
who developed the technique a
decade ago and holds annual
training sessions in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, said he added training
sessions this year in San Diego
and Australia to accommodate
rising demand. In December he
published Dignity Therapy: Fi-
nal Words for Final Days, the
first book to lay out a blueprint
for his technique.
Although hospices for decades
have engaged patients in reflec-
tive life review, what distin-
guishes dignity therapy is that it
provides training and a frame-
work for helping patients pro-
duce a tangible legacy docu-
ment, and theres empirical evi-
dence that its beneficial, said J.
Donald Schumacher, president
andCEOof the National Hospice
andPalliative Care Organization.
I think its a very, very, very
notable and useful technique,
and I hope it does get adopted by
many of the practitioners out
there, Schumacher said.
Although published research
on the effectiveness of dignity
therapy has so far focused on pa-
tients with less than six months
to live, a forthcoming study on
the frail elderly shows similar
outcomes, plus benefit to the
health care workers who care for
them, Chochinov said.
Chochinov, a psychiatry pro-
fessor at the University of Mani-
toba, said he was inspired to
learn more about the role of
dignity in end-of-life care be-
cause Dutch studies had found
loss of dignity to be the most
frequently cited reason termi-
nally ill patients pursued eu-
thanasia to hasten death.
A host of factors can under-
mine dignity as people suc-
cumb to illness, including a
loss of personhood, a loss of
purpose and, prominently, per-
ceiving themselves to not be
appreciated by others, Chochi-
nov said. Often there is fear
that their lives wont have a
ripple effect.
By asking probing questions
When did you feel most
alive? Are there specific
things you want your family to
know about you? trained
dignity therapists aim to cap-
ture what really makes a per-
son tick. They also focus on
generativity, a psychological
term that describes the desire
to guide the next generation.
You can be in conversations
with people where they may in
essence be speaking to great-
great-grandchildren they will
never meet, said Montross,
who trained with Chochinov
andnowis assistant director of
the Palliative Care Psychiatry
Research Program at the Insti-
tute for Palliative Medicine at
San Diego Hospice.
Unlike a lot of psychothera-
py, which pushes people to
confront painful issues of their
past, dignity therapy meets
people where they are, so they
can address the topics they
consider most pertinent and
write their own stories.
Sometimes the conversa-
tions are heartbreaking. Cho-
chinov remembers an elderly
patient who said it was too late
to ask for forgiveness after
drinking away his relation-
ships, but he wantedhis grand-
children to know who he had
been so that they could choose
better paths. Another dying
manwantedhis wife toknowit
was OK with him if she fell in
love with someone new.
Sometimes reconciliation is
more important than facts.
Montross remembers a patient
who said nasty things about
his estranged sister during
their interview, but upon hear-
ing his words readback to him,
he revised his comments to be
kinder.
Strikingly, the most promi-
nent topic that graces every
conversation is love, Montross
and colleagues found in a
study on the logistics of imple-
menting dignity therapy in
hospice communities, publish-
ed last year in the Journal of
Palliative Medicine. Another
universal theme was lessons
learned in life, the most com-
mon being to accept and ac-
knowledge ones own imper-
fections, Montross said.
Dralles parting thoughts
may have left a greater ripple
than he realized.
To be honest, said Mon-
tross, who spent 10 hours in-
terviewing Dralle, he held
more grace in his dying 90-
pound frame than men twice
his size or half his age.
DIGNITY

Maybeyoulovetoeat but hate
to exercise, Jim Karas proposes.
For most of us, that about sums
it up.
Karas wants to help you get
over the exercise part of that
equation.
The biggest hurdle you will
ever face in losing weight isnt
sticking to a diet or going to the
gym every day. Its simply this:
getting started, he says.
Can you spare 15 minutes,
three times a week? Trainer and
author Karas says thats enough
to get you off to a good start.
If youre doing nothing, this is
absolutely a step in the right di-
rection, says Karas, who blogs
(and sells his fitness products) at
jimkaras.com. Just those 45 min-
utes weekly will rev up your me-
tabolism, increase your energy,
and make you look and feel bet-
ter, he says.
Karas brags that after an ap-
pearance years ago on Good
Morning America, he cornered
Diane Sawyer and delivered the
bad news: She needed to lose 25
pounds. She was shocked, but I
got her attention. (And became
her trainer to help her do it.)
For those of us who arent
Diane Sawyer, who have put off
starting an exercise program, he
insists that we dont need to
spend hours a week on a tread-
mill.
You dont have to have equip-
ment. You dont have to go to the
gym, he says.
Instead, Karas recommends
taking three basic exercises
pushups, Pilates planks, and
squats or lunges and doing
each until youre almost out of
breath. Then repeat the series
until you fill up 15 minutes
three times weekly. Instructions
for all of these are all over the In-
ternet.
And yes, he disagrees with fed-
eral guidelines that recommend
75 minutes a week of vigorous
aerobic activity (or 2 and 1/2
hours of moderate exercise).
In most exercise regimens,
the neglected variable is intensi-
ty, Karas says. If you really get
in there and get the job done, you
optimize results and you save
yourself time.

Can you spare 15 minutes, three times a week?
ger. Creative art sessions, dance
movement or musictherapyareof-
ten offered.
MeghanHartley, a child-life spe-
cialist at Hackensack, said she en-
courages teens to express their
feelings ina journal or bloganden-
courages themtojointheBraves, a
therapeutic support group for
teens at the hospital.
With the Braves, we schedule
trips to kayak, ski, do things they
would normally do with their
friends but cant as theyre going
through treatment, Hartley said.
It helps them retain some of that
feeling of normalcy.
On a larger scale, the Im Too
Young For This! Cancer Founda-
tion (i2y) is an online worldwide
community that provides re-
sources and support for patients
and survivors between the ages of
15 and 40.
You need these groups because
no one can really understand what
its like unless youve beenthrough
it, Timsaid. Somepeoplelookat
you differently and only identify
you as the kid who had cancer.
Thoughmanyof theseteenagers
arebarelypast puberty, theyquick-
ly graspthe gravity of their disease
and consider their own mortality.
I thought there was a chance of
dyingandI wasreallyafraidof leav-
ing my family andfriends behind,
said Tim, who was diagnosed in
2010.
So I just made sure I did every-
thingI wantedtodo, likemarching
in the Memorial Day parade even
though my white blood count was
down. Im a snare drummer and I
just collapsed on the grass when it
was over but I made it through.
Timdefinitely had his bad days,
like whenhe lost his hair fromche-
motherapy.
I was abit of anarcissist andmy
hair hadtobe just right, saidTim,
now18. But after I lost it I drewa
shamrock on my bald head. If
youre going to lose your hair, em-
brace it and have fun.
Getting so sick inexplicably ma-
tures teenagers far beyond their
age and yet in some ways stunts
their emotional and social growth.
Going through this type of ex-
periencegivesthemmaturityanda
depth of understanding of human-
ity, said Ellen Goldring, the sec-
tionchief of theChildLifeServices
at Hackensack.
On the other hand, sometimes
these kids stop taking their medi-
cations or dont listen to doctors
orders because theyre teenagers
and only thinking of today.
Shaheem said as much while
meeting with the Braves at Hack-
ensack.
Whats the point of taking 20
pills a day except to get all those
side effects? he asked. The first
month I felt like crap. I had pain in
my knees and in my teeth.
He was diagnosed with leuke-
mia in May 2010 and is still under-
going treatment.
It was really scary, Shaheem
said. IfeltreallybadphysicallyI
was inalot of pain. But youhaveto
fight through it and not let cancer
change your personality.
Aesha, 16, yearns to go to the
mall and just hang out doing noth-
ing with her friends.
But thetruthis, after beingdiag-
nosedwithasoft tissuecancer at 7,
she would rather spend her time
being active, even if its playing
games usually enjoyed by younger
children.
Ifeel likeImissedmychildhood
because I couldnt go outside to
play for years while I was in treat-
ment, Aesha said. So I want to
build a snowman, play kickball,
ride a bike do things I didnt get
to do. But my friends are past that
and want to sit around and talk.
Sick teens also deal with being
teased or losing their friends be-
cause of their illness.
Some of my friends fromwhen
we were in kindergarten said they
didntwanttobefriendsanymore,
Jilliansaid. Youfeel bad, but what
are you going to do?
Continuing social and emo-
tional development while under-
going treatment is one of the big-
gest challenges teenagers face,
Hartley said.
You have to remember theyre
teenagers and they still have the
same needs they always had, Har-
tley said. They might need their
parents to help them bathe if
theyre weak from treatment, but
at thesametimetheywant tolearn
howto drive.
But thisterriblejourneycantake
these patients on paths they never
considered.
Aesha now wants to become a
doctor.
I want to be a pediatric oncolo-
gist so I can do the same for other
kids that theydidfor me, shesaid.
Tim, cancer-free for 1 and 1/2
years after undergoing months of
chemotherapyandradiation, istry-
ing to decide which university he
wants to attend next fall.
Cancer has also altered his ca-
reer path. When he was young, he
wanted to be a doctor. Hes had
enoughof physicians andhospitals
and now wants to go into music
education.
When youre going through
this, you cant get into the Why
me? thinking, Timsaid. Youjust
have to believe there was a greater
purpose for it all, have faith and
keep going.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Im 23,
the only child of a
controlling, para-
noid, mother and a
peace-loving, passive
father. I graduated
from college last
year. Shortly after,
my boyfriend and I accepted dream
jobs in the same town several hours
away from my parents.
Mom was appalled. She warned
me that I wouldnt last and would
come home. Mom is at her wits end.
When I mentioned that my boyfriend
had recorded a movie for me, she said
he was controlling me via technology.
If I tell her about a project at work,
she says my employer is taking ad-
vantage of me.
Mom pays for a landline in my
apartment that I dont want, but she
insists because shes convinced that
cellphones cause cancer. She calls me
constantly, and if I dont answer she
leaves frantic messages about how
disrespectful I am, and how she and
Dad are praying for my soul.
This has gotten out of control. I try
talking to her, but she wont listen
and laughs at the idea of counseling.
My father agrees that her behavior
and approach are wrong, but says she
has good intentions and I need to
work with her.
Abby, I dont know what to do.
Shes becoming increasingly control-
ling and worried about my soul. Im
worried that my distance is affecting
her health. Some advice, please!
Wants a Healthy Relationship With
Mom
Dear Wants: If you return home
because youre afraid asserting your
independence is negatively affecting
your mothers health, you will never
have a life of your own. Because
she laughs at the idea of counseling
doesnt mean that YOU shouldnt get
some in order to help you separate
yourself from her constant efforts to
manipulate you.
Her dependence on you is not nor-
mal. Thats why you should enlist the
help of a mental health professional.
If you try to work with her without
that help, she will suck you in and
you will never be free.
Dear Abby: I have very nice neigh-
bors who believe in leaving the wild
and natural growth on their property.
They have posted a sign that claims
it to be a certified natural habitat.
They never weed or cut anything
back. It has become an eyesore.
I have tried to grow border plants
to hide the mess, but nothing seems
to help. I believe it affects the value of
our home. My husband doesnt want
me to say anything. Theyre nice peo-
ple, but we dont live in a rural area
where this might be more acceptable.
Have you any suggestions?
Thorn in Our Side
Dear Thorn: Yes. Who certified your
neighbors yard as a natural habitat?
The city? If so, call City Hall and find
out if their yard still qualifies. What
you have described may be a fire
hazard, so some investigation may
be in order. If there is a homeowners
association in your neighborhood, it
should also be contacted to ensure
their house is in compliance with the
codes, covenants and restrictions. If
necessary, someone who is close to
these neighbors should volunteer to
help them with their yard. A natural
landscape can be beautiful, but only if
its properly maintained.

To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may
feel out of sync with the people
around you. You like people,
but social connections are not
your main source of happiness.
Solitude has a way of centering
you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you
expect yourself to be an expert
right out of the gate, youll only
set yourself up for disappoint-
ment. False starts and reversed
directions are a key part of your
learning process.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll be
critical to the success of a team.
You will be motivated by intan-
gible rewards. Being recognized
for something you do well may
be an even better reward of your
efforts than money.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
be at ease when considering
other peoples viewpoints, a
sign of maturity and sophistica-
tion that wont go unnoticed by
equally mature and sophisticated
individuals.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A touch of
restlessness might put you in
a shopping mood. You will be
much better off consolidating
what you have instead of buying
more.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The
group wont seem to know what
they are doing, but the collec-
tive intelligence of the group is
higher than you think. Besides,
going solo may be a good way to
get lost today. So stick together.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In order
to stay abreast of the competi-
tion, youll figure out what your
competitors are doing. Its also a
good time to seek new technolo-
gies for improving efficiency.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
catch your loved ones doing
something right and give spon-
taneous and enthusiastic praise.
Youll make someone happy
while paving the way for the stel-
lar results in the future.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If
you are tenacious enough, you
will have a breakthrough today. If
the first or second attempt fails,
youll use what you learn, adjust
the plan and go for round three.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The
more people you know, the luck-
ier youll be. Smile and say Hi.
Also, ask friends to introduce
you to the people they know.
New contacts will be the catalyst
for a windfall or romance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No
one develops alone. Youll enjoy
letting others know what youve
learned from them. And youll
continue to let new connections
help launch and support your
growth.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Look
for the good news hidden in the
bad. Maybe it will only amount
to a speck of sunshine, but thats
enough to illuminate other piec-
es of goodness and change the
way everyone sees things.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan. 17).
Your personal life blossoms as
you assert yourself. Refuse to
be put on the spot. Give yourself
plenty of time and space to make
major decisions. Youll advance
projects having to do with com-
munication and closing the gaps
between people. March features
domestic upgrades. Youll win
money in June. Cancer and Virgo
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 40, 12, 22, 6 and 19.

ticipate if you have memory problems or
speech/language problems as a result of
dementia or stroke. Participation is free
to those who qualify and involves: Five
weeks of twice a week speech-lan-
guage/memory therapy during which
language and emotional state is moni-
tored for changes. All participant infor-
mation is strictly confidential. For more
information, please contact: Hunter
Manasco, PhD, Department of Speech-
Language Pathology,
