Casino pays its taxes,but not based on assessment

JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com

Under a 2007 agreement, the Plains Twp. facility wont be assesed until 2016

Luzerne County Assessment Director Tony Alu said he wont have a say in the assessed value of the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs complex until 2016. The Plains Township casino has an unusual arrangement with taxing bodies to pay a set amount in lieu of property taxes annually through 2015. The payment schedule was cemented in a 2007 court order as part of a settlement stemming from a Wilkes-Barre Area School District assessment challenge. The court order prevents taxing bodies from seeking more tax revenue when a hotel at the complex is completed, said Alu, because he cant yet impose an assessed value or alter the payment amount. Is the casinos payment where it should be? Is it too high or low? I dont know. Its out of my control at this time, he said. The court order required Mohegan Sun the regions largest entertainment venue to pay the three taxing bodies an annual amount increasing from $1.55 million in 2008 to $2.9 million in 2015. This years payment is $2.45 million $1.68 million to the school, $548,700 to the county and $219,590 for the township. Assessment not used These payment amounts have no logical tie to assessments because they were established before the countywide reassessment and subsequent tax hikes. What would a property have to be assessed at to pay these amounts? Anywhere from $103 million to $124 million. For example, a property assessed $108.7 million would owe $1.68 million in school taxes based on Wilkes-Barre Areas millage rate, but the value would jump to $124 million in Plains Township to owe $219,590 in municipal taxes at its current tax rate. Though the assessed value has no bearing on the casinos payments at this time, the countys reassessment company pegged the value of the 264acre property at $99.7 million during the 2009 countywide revaluation. The casinos tax bill would be $2.25 million if the reassessment value was in effect, or less than the casinos payment in lieu of taxes. The reassessment value is close to the $100 million appraised value cited by Wilkes-Barre Area in its 2007 challenge of the casinos assessment. At the time of the settlement, school district ofcials publicly praised the amount of the casinos payments in lieu of taxes. Mike Bean, president and general manager of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, said the payment amounts are fair to both the casino and taxing bodies. We believe it was See CASINO | 13A

Six-figure salaries common among Wyoming Valley nonprofit leaders

ROGER DUPUIS
rdupuis@civitasmedia.com

imes are still tough for working people in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Unemployment in the S cranton/Wilkes-Barre Metropolitan Area fell in June to 9.2 percent, but the regions jobless rate still led the state for the 39th consecutive month. Census gures, meanwhile, show Luzerne Countys median household income for 2007-2011 lagged more than $8,000 below the state gure, at $43,296. The lean years of recession and austerity were not nearly as painful for those who led many of the regions nonprot entities, where base salaries in the $100,000 range were not uncommon, supplemented by benets and bonuses. A Times Leader analysis of publicly available tax records for a dozen wellknown nonprot agencies in the Wyoming Valley revealed variations in salary levels, program spending and other key data.

NEW YORK On the day Alex Rodriguez was the No. 1 pick in the baseball draft two decades ago, his high school coach predicted a ashy future. He has a great work ethic, humility, condence, Rich Hofman said. Hell be an example for Seattle and Major League Baseball. I hope success will not spoil that. Three MVP awards, 14 All-Star selections, two record-setting contracts and countless controversies later, A-Rod has become baseballs marked man, the biggest and wealthiest target of an investigation into performance-enhancing drugs thats likely to culminate with a lengthy suspension Monday. Instead of following the record-setting paths of Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron, Rodriguez even faces the outside chance he could wind up in permanent baseball exile along with Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson. Major League Baseball and the New York Yankees turned down requests Saturday to meet with Rodriguezs camp and the union about the embattled stars expected drug penalty, two people familiar with the talks told The Associated Press. When Rodriguez rst admitted in 2009 that he had used PEDs, he apologized repeatedly and called himself young

New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez, the target of an investigation into performance-enhancing drugs, is likely to learn Monday whether hell face a lengthy suspension, or worse.

and stupid three times. Im in a position where I have to earn my trust back, he told a news conference at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla., back then. The only thing I ask from this group today and the American people is to judge me from this day forward. Thats all I can ask for. Now 38, his rise and fall is water-cooler discussion across America. Mondays decision by baseball Commissioner Bud Selig will dene A-Rods career, overshadowing his 647 home runs, his repeated postseason failures, his October of triumph in 2009 with the New York Yankees, even his romances with Madonna, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz and Torrie Wilson. And its not as if he is lacking in labels. Teammates call him A-Fraud behind his back, according to a See A-ROD | 14A

Salaries vary at nonprofit PBS stations across the state

ROGER DUPUIS
rdupuis@civitasmedia.com

Among the most common factors in setting nonprot compensation is benchmarking salaries to comparable positions on comparable communities, observers of the sector say. Publicly available IRS tax forms allow donors and the general public to do some benchmarking of their

own, comparing Wyoming Valley area CEO compensation levels with peers across the region. Take, for example, the regions public broadcaster. Earlier this year, A. William Kelly Bill to the public stepped aside Kelly as president and CEO at WVIA television and radio after nearly 40 years with the organiza-

tion, sliding into the role as president emeritus and chief development ofcer. During the scal year ending June 30, 2012, tax documents show Kelly earned a total of $275,270 in compensation, comprised of $221,933 base salary plus $53,337 other compensation. See PBS | 13A

WASHINGTON The threat of a terrorist attack led to the weekend closure of 21 U.S. embassies and consulates in the Muslim world and a global travel warning to Americans, the rst such alert since an announcement before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 strikes. There is a signicant threat stream and were reacting to it, Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told ABC News, according to interview excerpts released Friday. He said the threat was more specic than

previous ones and the intent is to attack Western, not just U.S. interests. The warning comes less than a year since last years deadly Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, and with the Obama administration and Congress determined to prevent any similar breach of an American embassy or consulate. The State Departments warning urged U.S. travelers to take extra precautions overseas. It cited potential dangers involved with public transportation systems and other See EMBASSY | 14A

WILLIAM JOSEPH POLACHECK

Aug. 2, 2013
Mr. William Joseph Polacheck, 87, of North WilkesBarre, entered into Eternal Life peacefully Friday afternoon. Born Sept. 11, 1925, in Wilkes-Barre, he was a son to the late Joseph and Elizabeth (Barry) Polacheck. Educated in the city schools, Bill was a graduate of the James M. Coughlin High School, Wilkes-Barre. Following his education, in 1943 he proudly served our country during the Second World War with the U.S. Navy as an aviation machinists mate. Upon his honorable discharge on April 11, 1946, he was the recipient of several awards and citations for his service including the Pacic Theater Ribbon, the American Theater Ribbon and the Victory Medal. He married the former Celia Kolessar on Oct. 14, 1950. She preceded him in death on Aug. 24, 2002. At the time of her passing, they enjoyed 52 years of married life together. Mr. Polacheck served the City of Wilkes-Barre 42 years as a reghter with the city re department, earning the rank of captain prior to his retirement. He was a member of St. Andre Bessette Parish of Wilkes-Barre, the International Association of Fireghters, Local 104, Wilkes-Barre, and the Brookside Post 837 of the American Legion. Proud of his Slovak heritage, he also was a lifetime member of the Slovak Catholic Sokols and was a member of the North End Slovak Citizens Club for more than 60 years. He is remembered by family and friends for his dynamic smile, strong will, stubbornness, intense pride and love for his family. Pops praise was hard to win; if he complimented you, you knew that you had really accomplished something! His pride was often reected in the emblems on his shirts, jackets and on the row of hats in the rear window of his car. Bill loved to travel. He and his beloved wife, Celia, traveled the world together. Among their many trips, they took 11 cruises. He also took great pride in his home, lawn and rose garden. It was not uncommon to hear him boast about the great round of golf he played at his favorite course at Hollenback Golf Club, or about how many laps he did at the CYC swimming pool. Bill loved the New York Yankees and got to see Derek Jeter at the Railriders Stadium, PNC Field, three weeks before he died,

HARRISBURG

PITTSTON The road captain finished prepping a bunch of bikers on safety and formation rules in the Saturday morning fog. Any other questions? OK. Mount up! the lead biker shouted. Roaring V-twin engines answered the call as bikers tightened their helmets. The bikers rode for the Dr. Jens Hope is Contagious first annual bike ride a fundraiser to support the deceased doctors new scholarship fund started by her family. Jennifer Sidari died unexpectedly in June, two weeks after earning her medical doctors degree from The Commonwealth Medical College. She was 26 years old and part of the colleges first graduating class of doctors. The ride from Coopers Seafood in Pittston to its counterpart in Scranton took bikers, led by American Legion Riders Post 665, Dickson City, along routes Jennifer often traveled. They rode past her home in West Pittston, the medical college in Scranton and

the home where she was planning to move. Such a ride is out of the ordinary for the Legion riders, said the groups president, Larry Rowker. Usually for these kinds of rides we just go straight out into the country, Rowker said, and added it was interesting to plan the route through the towns and cities to reach their destination. The family first contacted the riders to ask if theyd make their once-annual charity ride for Jennifers scholarship cause. They said these are the places we want to go past, and we took it from there, Rowker said. Six riders from the Legion rode along with 12 others who were close to Jennifer or just wanted to help. The Sidaris worked with area police to clear the route through Moosic and Avoca so the 18 riders could stay in formation. At Coopers-Scranton, a city cruiser with sirens blaring announced their small parade. Jennifers professors from the medical college, along with one of her family members, will choose a scholarship winner each year. The recipient should exhibit the kind of earnest, charitable qualities for which the young doctor

was renowned. Jennifers brother, Pete Sidari, 17, said the scholarship and all the fundraisers that go to support it will help keep his sisters memory alive. But Pete also was looking further down the road. Its not just going to affect the student accepting the scholarship that person could go on to be come a doctor, said Pete. It could eventually save somebodys life. Saturdays ride, the first official scholarship fundraiser, was followed by a dinner at Coopers in Pittston. But fundraising efforts so far have raised about $15,000, said Victoria Sidari, Jennifers younger sister. Those people who could not make it to the ride contributed by buying T-shirts and sending donations, she said. The family hopes to set up an endowment to provide an annual $50,000. Damentis Restaurant in Mountain Top is hosting a related fundraising dinner from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday. Tickets are $50 and all proceeds go to the scholarship fund. Following the dinner, 50 percent of bar sales on Friday and Saturday will go to the fund.

DALLAS TWP. Carl Alber, the townships zoning ofcer, has denied a request by a well-known Back Mountain real estate developer seeking to convert a mostly unused medical center into an apartment complex. Joseph J. Narparlo, who turned former farm lands near the intersection of routes 415 and 118 into a planned residential development with more than 200 townhouse and condominium units, applied for a special exception last week for allowance of apartments in an area thats zoned for only single-family dwellings. Alber rejected the request based on the zoning map alone, but Narparlo immediately led an appeal and requested an appearance before the townships zoning appeals board. He will present his case at 7 p.m. Aug. 12 at a meeting that is open to the public. Narparlo is tasked with convincing the board that it should permit him to put a multi-family dwelling in an area zoned for single-family dwellings. Alber said. The building hes hoping to convert into an unknown number of apartments is the Back Mountain Medical Center at 100 Upper Demunds Road. The two-oor structure was built in 1995 as the Dallas Family Practice, but over the years physicians have moved out and other services offered at the building have dwindled. Today, according to Jim McGuire, a spokesman for Commonwealth Health, which owns the building, we hardly use that building other than an outpatient laboratory and for X-rays. The building has been for sale for about a year, he said, but he would not discuss any terms or agreements in place with Alber. We dont have any denitive agreements in place with anyone. We are in negotiations, McGuire said. If the building is sold, the plan is to relocate the current services elsewhere in the Dallas area, he said. We will not leave the Back Mountain, McGuire said. Phone and email messages left for Narparlo were not returned. Alber said no plans have been presented to the township, so the number of apartments being considered is unclear. The zoning ofcer notied all property owners within 200 feet of the property of the hearing, and he said he already heard from one, whom he declined to identify, that indicated he or she would like to speak at the forum.

At Harveys Lake, hopes and some crafts f loat

HARVEYS LAKE Waiting for their homemade boat The Dip Ship to be inspected prior to the fourth annual Anything Floats Race Saturday, Wayne Devine of Harveys Lake and his crew fueled up on cheese fries. Gathered at a picnic table on the shore of the Harveys Lake Beach Club, the group of family and childhood friends reminisced about past races. The race was part of this weekends homecoming festivities at the lake. Constructed of nothing more than plywood, Styrofoam and tie wraps, The Dip Ship remained undefeated, winning every race in last years contest. In order to participate in the contest, vessels had to be homemade and powered by hand or foot. The event consisted of

races between crafts in two-, four-, six-, eight- and 10-person teams. The quarter-mile course looped from one end of a line of buoys to the other. The object is to see if your craft can make it around the buoys without sinking or falling apart, said race organizer Mike Rush, pointing out that The Dip Ship even won two years ago during the hurricane. The race goes on rain or shine. Special prizes were awarded for the Most Unique Craft and the Most Enthusiastic Group. Rush recalled winning the award for Most Unique when he built a boat out of two bicycles hooked up with chains and a paddle wheel. Cannons shot fireworks off the sides of the craft. It looked great

on paper, but it didnt work, he said. The Dip Ships only competitor Saturday was a craft named NU. An abbreviation for nothing used, NU was made out of plywood and 50-gallon barrels. Seventeen-yearold Joey Reilly of Harveys Lake, along with his younger brother Jimmy, 14, Hank Zielinski, 15, of Harveys Lake and Mike Casey, 17, of Dallas, tightened the straps holding thebarrels in place. This is my third year, and all years have been fails, so Im hoping this year will be better for us, Joey said. Saturdays festivities also included a classic car show at Grotto Pizza, a cancer walk-a-thon to benefit Candys Place and childrens games and crafts. Having recently moved to the area from Virginia, 11-year-old Jacob Chesonis, of Dallas, and his sister Ashlyne, 6, said they enjoyed the event as they stamped

and the watershed. The Harveys Lake Homecoming continues today with a jet-ski race, motorcycle run to benefit homeless veterans and a chicken barbecue.

IN BRIEF

New jobs disproportionately low-pay or part-time

Low-paying retailers, restaurants and bars supplied more than half Julys job gain
best-quality job, says John Canally, an economist with LPL Financial in Boston. So far this year, low-paying industries have provided 61 percent of the nations job growth, even though these industries represent only 39 percent of overall U.S. jobs, according to Labor Department numbers analyzed by Moodys Analytics. Mid-paying industries have contributed only 22 percent of this years job gain. The jobs that are being created are not generating much income, Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities USA, wrote in a note to clients. Thats one reason Americans pay hasnt kept up with even historically low inflation since the Great Recession ended in June 2009. Average hourly pay fell 2 cents in July to $23.98 an hour. Among those feeling the squeeze is Elizabeth Wilkinson, 28, of Houston. After losing a $39,000-a-year administrative job at Rice University in January, Wilkinson found work at an employment agency for $15 an hour. Yet shes had to supplement that job with part-time work as a waitress. This morning I put $1.35 worth of gas in my car because that is all the money that I had, Wilkinson said via email. Its very difficult to survive on $30,000 (a year), and I am living paycheck to paycheck. Part-time work has made up 77 percent of the job growth so far this year. The government defines parttime work as being less than 35 hours a week. Analysts say some employers are offering parttime over full-time work to sidestep the new health care laws rule that they provide medical coverage for permanent workers. (The Obama administration has delayed that provision for a year.) Weak economies overseas have also reduced demand PAUL WISEMAN

WASHINGTON The 162,000 jobs the economy added in July were a disappointment. The quality of the jobs was even worse. A disproportionate number of the added jobs were part-time or low-paying or both. Part-time work accounted for more than 65 percent of the positions employers added in July. Low-paying retailers, restaurants and bars supplied more than half Julys job gain. Youre getting jobs added, but they might not be the

for U.S. goods and, as a result, for better-paying U.S. jobs in manufacturing. Government spending cuts have taken a toll on some middle-class jobs, too. Many employers have also discovered that they can use technology to do tasks more cheaply and efficiently than office workers used to do. And some have found that they can shift middle-class jobs to low-wage countries such as China. By contrast, most lowerpaying jobs from waiters and hotel maids to store clerks, bartenders and home health care aides cant be automated or shipped abroad.

Driver charged in deadly wreck

A truck driver accused of making an illegal U-turn on a New Jersey highway before crashing his vehicle into an SUV carrying a Pennsylvania family was charged Saturday in the deaths of a woman and her two young sons. The crash between the truck and the SUV carrying ve people happened at around 6:30 p.m. Friday on Route 1 in Lawrence, Mercer County prosecutors told The Times of Trenton. Killed in the crash were 25-year-old Jamella Tisdale, her infant son, Jaden, and her 9-year-old son, Jaevon Durante, all of Levittown. The infants father, Shaqwan Tisdale, and the womans 8-year-old daughter, Mellady Durante, remained hospitalized Saturday in stable condition. The truck driver, 45-year-old Richard Williams, of New York Citys Brooklyn borough, was charged with three counts of death by auto and was being held on $100,000 bail. It wasnt immediately clear if he had retained an attorney.

Obama trade rep vetoes Apple ban

President Obamas trade representative has vetoed a ban on imports of some Apple iPads and older iPhones, reversing a ruling in favor of rival Samsung Electronics. U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman on Saturday overruled a June decision by the U.S. International Trade Commission. The commission banned imports of the iPhone 4 and some variants of the iPad 2 when it ruled that the Chinese-made Apple devices violate a patent held by Samsung. But Froman says in a letter to the commission that he has concerns about patent holders getting too much leverage over competitors that use their technology under licenses.

Twitter says its handing down new rules to control abusive language after several high-prole British women reported receiving a ood of nasty, harassing, or threatening messages on the microblogging site. In a message posted to its website, Twitter says it is introducing a oneclick button to report abuse and updating its rules to clarify that we do not tolerate abusive behavior. In a message posted to Twitter on Saturday, General Manager Tony Wang said he wanted to personally apologize to the women who have experienced abuse on Twitter and for what they have gone through.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. Five spectators were injured Saturday after shrapnel was sent ying at the demolition of a decommissioned steam power plant in Californias Central Valley, authorities said. More than 1,000 people had gathered at 6 a.m. in a nearby parking lot to watch the planned implosion at the plant owned by Pacic Gas and Electric in Bakerseld. After structures on the property came crashing down, a police ofcer at the scene heard a man screaming for help and saw his leg had been severed, police said. It was a piece of shrapnel that came

ying out of the explosion and came across and went through a couple of chain link fences, struck him and impacted into a vehicle, said Lt. Scott Tunnicliffe. The 44-year-old victim might lose his other leg as well due to his injuries, Tunnicliffe said. Four other spectators were treated for minor injuries, said Kern County Fire engineer Leland Davis. All of the injured spectators were standing beyond a perimeter set up to ensure public safety, Davis said. Residents of the city about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles were eager to see the old plant torn down to make way for new development. The plant

was decommissioned in 1986 and has been idle ever since. Pacic Gas and Electric reached an agreement with the city to clean the property and prepare it for sale. The company hired subcontractors to handle the demolition of the plants boiler structures and worked with local authorities to set up a safe perimeter 1,000 feet from the site, said Denny Boyles, a company spokesman. We are deeply saddened that this happened, Boyles said. Were looking for answers like everyone else. Boyles said the boiler structure consisted of two towers measuring 140 feet high that supported four 200,000 gallon tanks.

Tips from the public led to the arrest on Saturday of a 43-year-old suburban Detroit man following an attempted burglary of a home owned by musician Kid Rock. The man was arrested at his home in Oakland Countys Independence Township, north of Detroit, according to Undersheriff Michael McCabe. Two tips were made to the sheriffs dispatch center, McCabe said in a release. The arrest came after surveillance photos from security cameras on Kid Rocks property in Clarkston were released this weekend. The photos showed a man ramming the gate Wednesday afternoon and trying to break into the house. He also was on crutches and failed to get in.

We dont want a violent resolution to this crisis. He said a complete audit is needed of the shambolic voters lists, which was only made available at the time of the election.

DALLAS Hundreds of unarmed soldiers, some about to deploy to Afghanistan, were waiting inside a building for vaccines and routine checkups when a fellow soldier walked inside with two handguns and enough ammunition to commit one of the worst mass shootings in American history. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan climbed onto a desk and shouted Allahu Akbar! an Arabic phrase meaning God is great! Then he red, pausing only to reload. Hasan doesnt deny that he carried out the November 2009 rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, that left Hasan 13 people dead and more than 30 others wounded. There are dozens of witnesses who saw it happen. Military law prohibits him from entering a guilty plea because authorities are seeking the death penalty. But if he is convicted and sentenced to death in a trial that starts Tuesday, there are likely years, if not decades, of appeals ahead. He might never make it to the death chamber at all. While the Hasan case is unusually complex, experts also say the military justice system is unaccustomed to dealing with death penalty cases and has struggled to avoid overturned sentences. Eleven of the 16 death sentences handed down by military juries in the last 30 years have been overturned, according to an academic study and court records. No activeduty soldier has been executed since 1961. A reversed verdict or sentence on appeal in the Hasan case would be a asco for prosecutors and the Army. Thats one reason why prosecutors and the military judge have been deliberate leading up to trial, said Geoffrey Corn, a professor at the South Texas College of Law and former military lawyer. The public looks and says, This is an obviously guilty defendant. Whats so hard about this? Corn said. What seems so simple is in fact relatively complicated. Hasan is charged with 13 specications of premeditated murder and 32 specications of attempted premeditated murder. Thirteen ofcers from around the country who hold Hasans rank or higher will serve on the jury for a trial that will likely last one month and probably longer. They must be unanimous to convict Hasan of murder and sentence him to death. Threequarters of the panel must vote for an attempted murder conviction. The trials start has been delayed over and over, often due to requests from Hasan. Any of the hundreds of decisions large or small could be fair game on appeal. The entire record will be scrutinized by military appeals courts that have overturned most of the death sentences theyve considered.

While new oil leases are banned, companies can drill from 23 grandfathered-in platforms
ALICIA CHANG and JASON DEAREN

SAN FRANCISCO Companies prospecting for oil off Californias coast have used hydraulic fracturing on at least a dozen occasions to force open cracks beneath the seabed, and now regulators are investigating whether the practice should require a separate permit and be subject to stricter environmental review. While debate has raged over fracking on land, prompting efforts to ban or severely restrict it, offshore fracking has occurred with little attention in sensitive coastal waters where for decades new oil leases have been prohibited. Hundreds of pages of federal documents released by the government to The Associated Press and advocacy groups through the Freedom of Information Act show regulators have permitted fracking in the Pacic Ocean at least 12 times since the late 1990s, and have recently approved a new project. The targets are the vast oil elds in the Santa Barbara Channel, site of a 1969 spill that spewed more than 3 million gallons of crude oil into the ocean, spoiled miles of beaches and killed thousands of birds and other wildlife. The disaster prompted a moratorium on new drill leases and inspired federal clean water laws and the modern environmental movement. Companies are doing the offshore fracking which involves pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of salt water, sand and chemicals into undersea shale and sand formations to stimulate old existing wells into new oil production. Federal regulators thus far have exempted the chemical uids used in offshore fracking from the nations clean water laws, allowing companies to release fracking uid into the sea without ling a separate environmental impact report or statement looking at the possible effects. That exemption was afrmed this year by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, according to the internal emails reviewed by the AP. Fracking uids can comprise hundreds of chemicals some known and others that arent since they are protected as trade secrets. Some of these chemicals are toxins to sh larvae and crustaceans, bottom dwellers most at risk from drilling activities, according to

government health disclosure documents detailing some of the uids used off Californias shore. Marine scientists, petroleum engineers and regulatory ofcials interviewed by the AP could point to no studies that have been performed on the effects of fracking uids on the marine environment. Research regarding traditional offshore oil exploration has found that drilling uids can cause reproductive harm to some marine creatures. This is a signicant data gap, and we need to know what the impacts are before offshore fracking becomes widespread, said Samantha Joye, a marine scientist at the University of Georgia who studies the effects of oil spills in the ocean environment. The EPA and the federal agency that oversees offshore drilling, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement or BSEE, conduct some routine inspections during fracking projects, but any spills or leaks are largely left to the oil companies to report. In a statement to the AP, the EPA defended its oversight of offshore fracking, saying its system ensures the practice does not pollute the environment in a way that would endanger human health. Oil companies must obtain permits for wastewater and storm water discharges from production platforms that ensure all uids used in the drilling and production process will not adversely impact water quality, the statement said. Oil companies also say that much of the fracking uid is treated before being discharged into the sea. Tupper Hull, spokesman for the Western States Petroleum Association, said fracking in general is safe and has never been associated with any risk or harm to the environment in over six decades in California. California coastal regulators said they were unaware until recently that offshore fracking was even occurring, and are now asking oil companies proposing new offshore drilling projects if they will be fracking. Because the area of concern is located more than three miles off the states shoreline, federal regulators have jurisdiction over these offshore exploration efforts. However, the state can reject a permit in federal waters if the work endangers water quality. It wasnt on our radar before, and now it is, said Alison Dettmer, a deputy

director at the California Coastal Commission. Government documents including permits and internal emails from the BSEE reveal that fracking off the shores of California is more widespread than previously known. While new oil leases are banned, companies can still drill from 23 grandfatheredin platforms in waters where endangered blue and humpback whales and other marine mammals often congregate. In March, a privately held oil and gas company received permission from the agency to frack some 10 miles off the Ventura County coast. The job by DCOR LLC involves using the existing wellbore of an old well to drill a new well. Three so-called mini-fracks will be done in an attempt to release oil locked within sand and rocks in the Upper Repetto formation. Only a month before the application was approved, however, an ofcial with the BSEE voiced concerns about the companys proposed frack and whether the operation would discharge chemicals into the ocean. We have an operator proposing to use hydrau-

lic stimulation (which has not been done very often here) and Im trying to run through the list of potential concerns, Kenneth Seeley, the BSEEs regional environmental ofcer for the Pacic, wrote in a Feb. 12 email to colleagues. The operator says their produced water is Superclean! but the way they responded to my questions kind of made me think this was worth following up on. BSEE ofcials approved DCORs application on March 7. The agency told the AP that DCORs job would use far less fracking uid than an onshore operation. For comparison, well stimulation offshore typically uses 2 percent of the liquids and 7 percent of the sand that is used routinely for onshore hydraulic fracturing, the BSEE said in a statement. Oil industry estimates show that at least half of the chemical-laced water used in fracking remains in the environment after an

operation. Environmental groups say as much as 80 percent of the uids can be left behind. The rest gets pumped back up to the oil platform, and is piped or barged back to shore for treatment. Companies can also pump the uids into an old well reservoir to discard it. DCOR, which did not respond to requests for comment, is not the rst company to try to tap more oil from Californias offshore reserves, nor is the project the most extensive offshore frack here in recent years. In January 2010, oil and gas company Venoco Inc. set out to improve the production of one of its old wells with what federal drilling records show was the largest offshore fracking operation attempted in federal waters off Californias coast. The target: the Monterey Shale, a vast formation that extends from Californias Central Valley farmlands to offshore and could ultimately

comprise two-thirds of the nations shale oil reserves. Six different fracks were completed during the project, during which engineers funneled a mix of about 300,000 pounds of fracking uids, sand and seawater 4,500 feet beneath the seabed, according to BSEE documents. Venocos attempt only mildly increased production, according to the documents. Venoco declined to comment. Despite greenlighting offshore fracking projects for years, federal and state regulators now are trying to learn more about the extent of fracking in the Pacic even as ofcials and marine scientists scramble to weigh the environmental effects. In January, Jaron Ming, the Pacic regional director of the BSEE, told employees in an email that there had been heightened interest in offshore fracking from within the agency and the public. For that reason, I am asking you to pay close attention to any (drilling applications) that we receive and let me know if you believe any of them would be considered a frac job. That same month,

BSEE estimated in internal emails that only two such jobs had occurred off California in the past two decades. But weeks later, as the agency worked to respond to public requests about fracking offshore, emails show it had found 12 such instances of offshore fracking. BSEE said it cannot be sure just how often fracking has been allowed without going through every single well le. Brian Segee, a staff attorney at the Environmental Defense Center, said the uncertainty makes him skeptical about the actual number of offshore fracks. The Santa Barbara-based environmental law rm, which formed in the wake of the 1969 oil spill, is calling for a moratorium on future fracking in the Pacic until the potential environmental effects are studied. Most fracking efforts off California have yielded mixed results. The rst time Venoco fracked offshore in the 1990s, it had limited success. Chevrons one try failed. Out of Nuevo Energys nine attempts, only one was considered very successful, according to company and BSEE records.

Pa.chancellor Dying 2-year-old is best man search veiled for mom and dad at wedding in secrecy
Names of candidates for chancellor of the State System of Higher Education now are kept confidential
By MARC LEVY
Associated Press

Pa. couple moved up wedding date after discovering their son had weeks to live
The Associated Press

HARRISBURG It used to be that the names of the finalists for the highest-paid job in Pennsylvania state government chancellor of the State System of Higher Education were made public. Not anymore. In the coming days, the board of the 14-university system is expected to announce its pick for the next chancellor after keeping the names of three finalists a secret. Such secrecy is said to be an emerging trend in searches for executives in higher education as would-be candidates might fear reprisal if their current employer found out that they were job hunting. So, on Jan. 11, the state systems board member met and voted unanimously to make the entire search process confidential. The search is supposed to bar contact with a candidates current employer to ensure that confidentiality except, it seems, in the case of one candidate. One of the board members voting for that policy was Gov. Tom Corbetts then-secretary of education, Ronald Tomalis, who also apparently is a finalist in a process in which Corbett has substantial input. Since the PatriotNews of Harrisburg first reported it July 25, citing people speaking anonymously, nobody not Tomalis, Corbett or state system officials has disputed it. Tomalis on Friday turned down requests from The Associated Press to discuss it. Tomalis last day as Corbetts education secretary was May 31. By law, the secretary of education sits on the state systems board. At the time, Tomalis turned down interviews to explain why he was leaving the post, but he kept the nearly $150,000-a-year salary to take a newly created post as an adviser on higher education issues to Corbett, a Republican. If Tomalis is hired as chancellor, it would represent a departure from the first three chancellors of the 31-year-old state system. All three James McCormick, Judith Hample and John Cavanaugh had a background in university administration and a doctoral degree. Tomalis, 51, has a bachelors degree and no background in university administration, but for much of the last 18 years he has held top-level positions in both the federal and state Departments of Education. Pennsylvanias state system, with about 115,000 students, is the nations 13th-largest public university system. The previous chancellor, Cavanaugh, left in

February. At the time his salary was $327,500. A spokesman for the state system, Kenn Marshall, said Friday that he expects the selection to be made at a yetto-be-announced public meeting, perhaps in the next two weeks. Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, a Democrat, is among those calling for the names of the finalists to be made public before then. So far, the search committee has shared the secret of who the finalists AP photo are among the 17 state Christine Swidorsky carries her son and the couples best man, Logan Stevenson, 2, down the aisle to her husband-to-be system board members.

Marshall said he was unable to immediately identify them, but one person contacted by The Associated Press confirmed meeting with the finalists. David Patti, the president and CEO of the Harrisburg-based Pennsylvania Business Council, said those who were there signed confidentiality agreements. We cant talk about anything, said Patti, who has been a supporter of Corbetts. In recent years, some of the nations largest public university systems, such as in New York and North Carolina, did not announce finalists before their boards approved a candidate. Others, such as California, Texas and Georgia, announced a sole finalist a week or two before the candidate was approved. In 2011, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities announced two finalists two days before selecting one. Also in 2011, the University of Maine System announced four finalists two months before picking one. Michael Poliakoff, the vice president of policy for the Washington, D.C.based American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a group that pushes for strong trustee leadership, said the secrecy may be appropriate in some circumstances that You have a choice for orthopaedic care.

Red Sox owner enters $70M deal to buy Boston Globe

John Henry cites essential role publication plays throughout New England, and beyond
The Associated Press

BOSTON Businessman John Henry, the principal owner of the Boston Red Sox, has entered into an agreement to buy The Boston Globe for $70 million, a massive drop from its record $1.1 billion price two decades ago. The impending purchase from The New York Times Co. marks Henrys rst foray into the nancially unsettled world of the news media, the Globe said Saturday. The deal will give Henry the 141-year-old newspaper, its websites and afliated companies, it said. The Times announced in February it was putting the Globe and related

assets up for sale four years after calling off a previous attempt to sell it. The companys CEO said at the time selling the Globe would help the company focus attention on The New York Times brand. Times spokes- Henry woman Eileen Murphy conrmed the planned sale of the Globe and other media properties to Henry. The Times said the allcash sale, expected to close in 30 to 60 days, includes BostonGlobe. com, Boston.com, The Worcester Telegram & Gazette, Telegram.com,

the direct mail marketing company Globe Direct and the companys 49 percent interest in Metro Boston, a free daily newspaper for commuters. Henry cited the essential role that its journalists and employees play in Boston, throughout New England, and beyond. The Boston Globes award-winning journalism as well as its rich history and tradition of excellence have estab-

lished it as one of the most well-respected media companies in the country, Henry said in a statement. Henry, who also owns the English Premier League soccer club Liverpool F.C., said he would reveal details about his plans for the Globe in the next few days. Globe editor Brian McGrory said the newspapers Red Sox coverage and its editorial decisions wont be affected by the sale. We have no plans whatsoever to change our Red Sox coverage specically, or our sports coverage in general, nor will we be asked, McGrory told the newspaper. The

Globes sports reporting and commentary is the gold standard in the industry. The Times bought the Globe from the family of former Globe executive Stephen Taylor in 1993 for what it said was the highest price paid for an American newspaper. The price Henry is paying is less than 7 percent of the 1993 price. The Globe and other newspapers have faced difculties in recent years as readers have ed to the Internet and advertisers have cut spending on newspapers and moved more ads online. Still, the Globe is a journalistic institution in New England and was lauded

for its coverage of the deadly Boston Marathon bombings in April. A 2009 round of costcutting, involving pay cuts, helped put the Globe on better nancial footing and prompted the Times to call off a planned sale. In late 2011, the Globe started charging for access to its online version at BostonGlobe.com, which helped to boost circulation revenues. The Times company doesnt separate Globe revenue from The New York Times revenue in its nancial statements. But the Globe had an average weekday circulation of 230,351 in the six months through September, according to the Alliance

for Audited Media. The newspapers increase in digital subscriptions more than offset declines in print. But the total is still down signicantly from the nearly 413,000 it boasted in September 2002. The Globe isnt the only newspaper to see a huge drop in its price at sale time. In April 2012, Philadelphias two largest newspapers sold for $55 million, a fraction of the $515 million paid by a group of investors in 2006. The buyers of the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News included inuential New Jersey Democrat George Norcross III, former New Jersey Nets owner Lewis Katz and cable TV mogul H.F. Gerry Lenfest.

Obama likely to miss goal of doubling exports

Source at U.S. Business and Industry Council says, Were actually backsliding.
By TOM RAUM
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON In January 2010, President Barack Obama set a lofty goal of doubling U.S. exports in ve years. With only 18 months to go to 2015, that target seems to be slipping beyond reach and has vanished from White House talking points. Blame tepid U.S. manufacturing growth, the lingering weak global economy and a stronger U.S. dollar, which makes it harder to sell American goods and services overseas. Monthly export numbers have been mostly stagnant this year. And only a scant 6,000 manufacturing jobs were added last month, according to

Labor Department jobs statistics released Friday. The goal of doubling exports keeps getting harder to achieve, not easier, said Alan Tonelson, research fellow at the U.S. Business and Industry Council, which represents about 2,000 mostly family owned manufacturing companies. Were actually backsliding, not making progress. Obama and administration ofcials counter by asserting that 7.2 million jobs 500,000 of them in manufacturing have been added since job losses bottomed in March 2010, two months after Obama set his doubling-exports goal. Over the past four years, for the rst time since the 1990s, the num-

ber of manufacturing jobs hasnt gone down. Its gone up. Now we have to build on that progress, Obama said this week in Chattanooga, Tenn., after similar stops in Illinois, Missouri and Florida the week before. Actually, the number of overall manufacturing jobs has changed little over the past 12 months. Those 500,000 new manufacturing jobs have been cited before by Obama, going back to his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention last September. The lack of a signicant progress since then underscores how hard it will be to reach his goal of doubling U.S. exports by the end of next year. Obamas boasts of job gains also ignores the millions of jobs, including hundreds of thousands manufacturing ones, that

were lost in the early months of his presidency and in the nal year that George W. Bush was president. Obama cherry-picked his starting point, making it the 2010 employment trough. He is proposing lowering the corporate tax from 35 percent to 28 percent. As a special incentive for manufacturers, he would set a rate of 25 percent for companies that bring jobs back to America. In exchange, he wants to pair changes in tax laws with new domestic spending. Republicans balked at those strings attached. The worst recession since the Depression began in December 2007 and ofcially ended in June 2009, although the unemployment rate continued to rise for six more months. It hit 10 percent in late 2009 before a slow descent to 7.4 percent last month.

Democratic governors wary of health plan startup

SCOTT BAUER and THOMAS BEAUMONT
Associated Press

MILWAUKEE Democratic governors say they are nervous about getting the new federal health care law implemented but add they will be better positioned in next years elections than many of their Republican counterparts who have resisted the far-reaching and politically polarizing measure. Several of the 12 Democratic governors shared that sense of nervousness-veiled-byoptimism at the National Governors Association in Milwaukee Saturday. Theres some angst, and you can see that from the decision the administration made a couple weeks ago, said Delaware Gov. Jack Markell. Theres a lot of work to do. By next Jan. 1, most people will be required to have insurance. States have to set up exchanges by Oct. 1, when uninsured individuals can start buying subsidized private health coverage that would go into effect Jan 1, and businesses with more than 50 employees working 30 or more hours a week were supposed to offer affordable health care to their workers or risk a series of escalating tax penalties. But businesses said they needed more time, and on July 2, President Barack Obamas administration abruptly extended the deadline one year to Jan. 1, 2015. That caused some Democrats in Congress to worry the program would not be ready on time, as states are building online platforms for their residents to use to comply with the law. Although the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act in June 2012, the Republican- controlled House has voted 40 times since Obama signed the law in 2010 to repeal, defund or scale it back, most recently Friday. As Congress prepared to head home for a fiveweek recess, Obama sought to calm jittery Democrats, assuring them that they are on the right side of history despite problems with the laws launch. Republicans have stated openly they plan to use the slow economic recovery and the health care law to attack Democrats in the 2014 congressional elections. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the governors host and a possible 2016 Republican presidential prospect, said Obama delayed the employer mandate out of fear voters would blame Democrats in the 2014 elections if the economy suffered as a result of the new law. A cynic would be right to say the reason they pushed back the employer mandate had little to nothing to do with policy and everything to

do with politics, Walker said. Most of the two dozen governors from both parties gathered at the conference expressed confidence that their states would be ready on time, especially Democrats, although they said the work is daunting. Any time you go and make this much change in this short a period of time, it does cause head-

aches, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said. But with that pain comes progress, Hickenlooper and others argued. And those Republicans who have resisted or delayed taking action will pay the price. Long before election day, the philosophical debate over the bill will have turned into a practical reality for millions of

newly insured voters. Choosing ideology over jobs and affordable health care is a false choice, and its an example of the differences between Republicans and Democrats, said Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, a Democrat. Among the challenges states are encountering are the technological requirements to allow buyers to search for

insurers, rates and benefits on the exchanges. Others are training state employees to administer the program and marketing it to millions of Americans, all during a time of strained state budgets. Marketing

employees were often among the first to lose their jobs. Despite the headaches, the alternative to the status quo is far worse, Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley said. Nothing could be

more complicated than doing what we were doing before, which was to throw away more and more money on more expensive care for worse results, said OMalley, a Democrat also mulling a 2016 White House run.

Salaries
From page 1A When Robert F. Durkin was heralded as the next president and chief executive ofcer of The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce last week, the announcement did not include what his salary will be when he takes over the nonprot organization on Sept. 9. Chamber board Chairman Dan Santaniello would only say that Durkin will be paid substantially less than his predecessor, veteran chamber head Austin J. Burke, who is stepping down after more than three decades in the role. Durkins compensation level was benchmarked against comparable positions in comparable communities, Santaniello added. I think it is a matter of keeping it condential for Bob, because he is new to the job, Santaniello said Thursday when asked why the board had chosen not to reveal how much Durkin, currently president of the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute, will be paid. But the public will nd out, eventually. Thats because certain tax-exempt nonprot groups, such as the chamber, must le an annual report with the IRS, known as a Form 990. That document contains detailed information on an organizations mission, programs and nances including the highestpaid employee, how many employees received more than $100,000 of compensation and how much was spent on programs, administrative expenses and fundraising, respectively. All of that is public information, and it is public information because the government believes it helps citizens judge the quality of the nonprot, including whether organizations are upholding their mission, said Kelly McBride, senior faculty for ethics at the Poynter Institute, a Florida-based nonprot journalism school. The only caveat is that ling deadlines are based on groups scal years, so between that and ling extensions sought by some organizations, the information often is more than a year old before the public has access to the form. In the Scranton chambers case, its 990 form for the scal year ended June 30, 2012, reveals that outgoing leader Burke earned $354,406 that year, comprised of $304,958 base salary and $49,448 in other compensation. A broad spectrum Members of the public seeking 990 forms have a number of options. Organizations are required to make the reports available to the public upon request, and some go as far as posting 990s and other

NONPROFITS IN FOCUS

nancial information on their websites. There also are a number of groups that offer access to vast compilations of 990s and other data, including GuideStar.org and CharityNavigator.org, both of which were consulted for this news article. Given the vast number of nonprots a cursory GuideStar search suggested there are hundreds in Wilkes-Barre alone The Times Leader examined tax lings for 12 organizations of different sizes, representing a cross-section of services likely to have at least basic name recognition among Wyoming Valley readers. They range from a relatively new undertaking such as Ruths Place, a volunteer-driven womens shelter launched in 2003, to large, long-established groups, such as Catholic Social Services and Goodwill Industries, which employ hundreds of workers in charitable endeavors. Executive compensation levels comprised of base salary plus various bonuses, benets and additional compensation for the 12 groups ranged from $40,000 to more than $450,000, as shown in the accompanying charts. The information was drawn from the most recent 990 forms available, either from 2011 or 2012. How do such gures compare with compensation in other sectors? The median compensation level in our limited sample was $122,692, meaning half the CEOs were above and half below that dollar amount. Thats about $80,000 higher than Luzerne Countys household median income, tens of thousands of dollars more than what WilkesBarres mayor ($79,911) and police chief ($98,971) get paid, and about on par with what the Wyoming Valley West school superintendent earns ($123,552). But its below the 2010 Mid-Atlantic region nonprot median salary of $150,000, as calculated in a November 2012 CEO compensation study by

New Jersey-based Charity Navigator. No magic number Area nonprot leaders who responded to requests for comment acknowledged that while some readers might view leading such entities as an unduly lucrative occupation in a nancially troubled region, they nd it to be a demanding career requiring strong organizational skills, dedication and passion. Carmen Ambrosino, CEO of Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services, said his organization draws revenue from 73 funding sources. Steven R. Nocilla, executive director of Catholic Social Services of the Diocese of Scranton, said part of his job entails working on 30 to 40 grant applications each year. Kathleen Williams, executive director of the Wyoming Valley Childrens Association, spoke about leaving the private sector in exchange for lower pay and longer hours at a job in which she sometimes helps take out the trash. Experts advise donors and other observers against jumping to conclusions about CEO compensation numbers in the sixgure range, saying those statistics are not the sole indicator of an organizations nancial health or commitment to mission nor even the best indicator. We get those calls all the time, Charity Navigator Vice President Sandra Miniutti said of questions about what constitutes excessive CEO compensation. There is no magic number. And, Poynters McBride added, an increase in CEO pay might be a reection of healthy revenues, buoyed by success in securing grants, donations and other funding to support an agencys programs. One of the key criteria emphasized by nonprot observers is the amount of money an organization spends on programs compared with administrative and fundraising expenses. Better Business Bureau standards for charity

accountability recommend that an organization should spend at least 65 percent of total expenses on programs. Miniutti said Charity Navigator recommends a minimum of 75 percent. All of the organizations examined by the Times Leader were above 65 percent, and all but two were above 75 percent. But the question of CEO pay arises time and time again. Miniutti emphasized that a large organization serving a broad client base is more likely to have a better compensated leader than a smaller organization. And, she said, its unrealistic to think nonprot equals volunteer, as groups looking to do good naturally seek to attract the best talent for stewarding programs and soliciting funding from donors, grants and government agencies. Longevity, workload Nocilla has spent 27 years with Catholic Social Services, an agency that provides needy people assistance with housing, substance abuse, mental health and family issues throughout the 11-county diocese. I cant remember putting in just a 40-hour work week, he said. According to the agencys 990 for scal 2011, his total compensation package that year was worth $115,597, a gure which is vetted and approved by the agencys board, he explained. If you look at it in the grand scheme of things, were probably one of the largest of the areas human service organizations, he said. Among the 12 groups examined here, Catholic Social Services employs the most people 255, according to its 990 form and 91 percent of its spending goes to programs. Nocilla said he believes his compensation is absolutely fair, but he does not take it for granted. On the other hand, I do think about what other people make, he said. Ambrosino has been with Wyoming Valley

Alcohol and Drug Services since 1973, when the salary was $6,100 and nobody was doing newspaper stories about that, he said. That amount would translate to about $32,000 in 2013 terms, according to a U.S. Labor Department ination calculator. Ambrosinos compensation in scal 2012 was listed as $174,079 on the agencys 990, but he said that gure represents a $138,000 salary plus the buyback value of sick and vacation time he has accrued over the years. 60-hour work weeks He also said 60-hour weeks are the norm, and that he has been on-call 24-hours a day for the past four decades, in a eld which requires him to be, in sports terms, a playermanager responsible for many tasks. Ambrosino said he understands salaries generate coffee shop talk, and the result can be a black eye for administrators, such as himself, whose paycheck reects longevity and dedication. There are people in Northeast Pennsylvania who are making three, four, ve times what I am, he said of other nonprot leaders. Clearbrook Inc., another drug and alcohol treatment center whose tax forms were examined for this report, had six people on its payroll making more than $100,000 each year versus only one, Ambrosino, at Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services according to its ling for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011. At the top of Clearbrooks six-gure staffers was CEO Nicholas Colangelo, whose total compensation was $462,954, according to the tax form. Colangelos organization also is larger: 145 employees versus 37 for Ambrosinos group, with $11 million in annual expenses at Clearbrook compared with $2.1 million in expenses at Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services. A message left with Colangelos ofce seeking comment was not

returned. While Colangelo was the highest-compensated executive looked at by the newspaper, Williams, of Wyoming Valley Childrens Association, was one of

the lowest, at $65,000 per year. Williams said she left a career in the banking industry that paid considerably more she declined to say how much to join WVCA about two years ago. Wed all like to make more money. But number one, I believe in the mission, Williams said of the group, which provides early childhood education and therapeutic services to young children, some of whom have special needs. Teaching thrift Two of the agencies reviewed listed neither a highest paid employee nor any employees making more than $100,000 in their most recent 990s: Ruths Place and the Victims Resource Center. A message left with the Victims Resource Center wasnt immediately returned on Friday, although its 990 shows more than 80 percent of expenses spent on programs, 22 employees and total management and general expenses of $195,878. Ruths Place director Kristen Topolski, meanwhile, admitted she wasnt thrilled to have her current salary published in the newspaper, but freely offered the number. I make $40,000, she said with a slight sigh. And that places Topolski at the bottom of the salaries reviewed for this article, below even the countys household median income. According to its 990 for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, Ruths Place had $244,102 in expenses, of which 92 percent was spent on programs. Just $18,557 was recorded as management and general expenses that year, when Ruths Place reported having eight employees and 35 volunteers. What began 10 years ago as a seasonal, allvolunteer operation has seen signicant increase in demand for its services as it grew to include paid employees, year-round operation and a dedicated home in Wilkes-Barres North End. Topolski reported last month the shelter cared for 292 women in 2012 a number set to be surpassed this year, when Ruths Place has been at its capacity of 21 women every night since the beginning of the year. That growth culminated, last month, in a merger between Ruths Place and Volunteers of America, a move Topolski said would allow the burgeoning shelter to draw on the administrative expertise of the older, larger VOA. The transition wont change the shelters mission, Topolski said, including a critical lesson volunteers impart to women struggling to rebuild their lives. We teach the women who we work with here how to live on restrictive budgets, because thats exactly what we have.

PBS
From page 1A Pennsylvanians are served by a broad crosssection of PBS afliates. In addition to several stations across the state, including major markets such as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, stations spread as far apart as Binghamton, N.Y., eastern Ohio and northern Virginia overlap into many bordering areas of Pennsylvania. How does Kellys pay compare? He is well below the $457,150 that William Marrazzo was compensated in 2011 for leading WHYY in Philadelphia. The next-highest paid employee there was radio personality host Terry Gross, host of the nationally broadcast Fresh Air, who was paid $256,611 that year. Other stations Closer in range is Kathleen Pavelko, president and CEO of WITF in Harrisburg, who earned $260,389 in compensation for 2012, comprised of a $215,964 base salary and $44,425 in other compensation. Patricia Simon, CEO of PBS 39 in Bethlehem, also was in the $200,00 range, hitting $208,536 once extras were factored in on top of a nearly $197,000 base salary for 2011. Across the border in New York state, Binghamtons Brian Sickora received $140,538 leading WSKG in 2012, while across Pennsylvania, Eries Dwight J. Miller was paid $128,473 at WQLN. At WVIA, meanwhile, Tom Curr, the new president and CEO, conrmed in June he will be paid $150,000 per year for work at the station. Kelly said then that he is to be paid $199,000 for his new role, working to boost the stations endowment fund. Curr previously received about $135,000 as a senior vice president. He said Saturday that the board did some benchmarking prior to his promotion and arrived at a salary they felt was more appropriate in the context of nancial conditions and stations in similarly sized markets. Like some other nonprot leaders interviewed by the Times Leader, Curr said the work is hard but rewarding, with 10-hour days and 50- to 60-hour weeks the norm. In a previous interview, he spoke about looking to take WVIA in a more entrepreneurial direction, weaning the station off public funding as much as possible while continuing to produce local documentaries and other programming. Curr, a former commercial broadcaster and independent lmmaker, joined the staff in 2004 taking a pay cut of about $25,000 when he left the private sector. I did it because I wanted to have a better quality of life, said Curr, who previously travelled thousands of miles each year and was kept away from his family.

Casino
From page 1A appropriate based on the manner in which casinos should be assessed, the methodology, he said. Mohegan Sun inherited the pending assessment challenge when it purchased the property in 2005, he said. The court order settled amounts that must be paid from 2002 through 2007 and formulated a plan through 2015, he said. The casino wanted an agreement for payments in lieu of taxes to avoid repeated assessment challenges, Bean said. Mohegan Sun representatives said in 2007 that the settlement would allow the casino to proceed with its expansion plans. We wanted certainty for a period of years so we would not be spending time and resources defending something year after year, Bean said, emphasizing the casino agreed to pay an amount that rises annually. The court order said the county will set an assessErie County valued the Presque Isle Downs & Casino at $143 million by analyzing the income that can be generated by the property, which is a permissible approach to assess the value of commercial structures, said the countys senior appraiser, John Innocenzi. Presque must pay $2.4 million in school, county and local taxes based this year, he said. Assessment ofcials in Dauphin and Northampton counties could not be reached for comment Friday on the current values of casinos in their jurisdictions, but both counties hired consultants to come up with the values. According to published reports, Dauphin County had set the value of its Hollywood Casino around $280 million, while Northampton County had planned to value the Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem at $300 million.

ment for the property for 2016. The county is normally prohibited from assigning a fresh value on a property out of the blue unless theres a countywide reassessment, but Mohegan Sun agreed in the settlement to waive any claims against such spot reassessing. Complex calculation Alu said the tax valuation of casinos and related amenities is complex, and he plans to follow the lead of some other counties by seeking an outside specialist to help formulate a value as the expiration of the

court order nears. Other counties have wrestled over their casino assessments. The Mount Airy Casino in Monroe County was originally valued at a fair market equivalent of $85 million for taxation purposes, but a school district assessment challenge resulted in the casino paying taxes on a value of $93.9 million, said county Chief Assessor Thomas Hill. Mount Airys property tax bill this year: $2.7 million.

Embassy
From page 1A prime sites for tourists, and noted that previous attacks have centered on subway and rail networks as well as airplanes and boats. Travelers were advised to sign up for State Department alerts and register with U.S. consulates in the countries they visit. The statement said that alQaida or its allies might target either U.S. government or private American interests. The alert expires on Aug. 31. The State Department said the potential for terrorism was particularly acute in the Middle East and North Africa, with a possible attack occurring on or coming from the Arabian Peninsula. The diplomatic facilities affected stretch from Mauritania in northwest Africa to Afghanistan. U.S. ofcials pointed specically to Yemen, the home of alQaidas most dangerous afliate and the network blamed for several notable plots against the United States, from the foiled Christmas Day 2009 effort to bomb an airliner over Detroit to the explosives-laden parcels intercepted the following year aboard cargo ights. Current information suggests that al-Qaida and afliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August, a department statement said. Yemens president, Abdo Rabby Mansour Hadi, met with U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House on Thursday, where both leaders cited strong counterterrorism cooperation. This past week, Yemens military reported a U.S. drone strike killed six alleged alQaida militants in the groups southern strongholds.

A-Rod
From page 1A book by former manager Joe Torre. Fans at ballparks hold up signs deriding him as A-Roid and Cheater. Throughout Rodriguezs 19 major league seasons, teammates have repeatedly praised his work ethic. Hes the rst player on the spring-training elds after daybreak, taking extra grounders, perfecting his craft. At the same time they roll their eyes at his behavior, which is said to border on obsessive narcissism. He dresses in the back rooms of the clubhouse and emerges only when every hair is perfectly in place for the cameras and the collar of his leather jacket drapes just so. Has any other athlete been photographed kissing his reection in a mirror, as A-Rod was by Details magazine in 2009? He didnt protest when he was photographed with a stripper at a Toronto hotel or reported to be at a swingers club in Dallas and at an illegal poker club in New York. But he did make fans grouse last year when his awful postseason slump didnt stop him from chatting up two women in seats behind the dugout at Yankee Stadium during a game. Since Rodriguez joined the Yankees in 2004, hes never come to terms with why fans openly adore Derek Jeter and not him. Derek has four world championships and I want him to have 10, Rodriguez said at his introductory news conference. Thats what this is all about. Once they were pals. But Jeter began to distance himself after Rodriguez was quoted in a 2001 Esquire article saying Jeters been blessed with great talent around him and hes never had to lead. Then Rodriguez joined him on the Yankees in 2004. Unwanted by Texas, A-Rod pushed for a trade to Boston. When that fell through, he wanted New York even agreeing to move from shortstop to third base because of Jeter. A-Rod tried to make it appear they were still buddy-buddy. But by 2007, Rodriguez publicly conceded the friendship had faded. People start assuming that things are a lot worse than what they are, which theyre not, A-Rod said. But theyre obviously not as great as they used to be. We were like blood brothers. Attention on Rodriguez had increased exponentially when he signed a $252 million, 10-year deal with the Rangers before the 2001 season. But it wasnt enough. After Rodriguez famously opted out of his contract during Bostons 2007 World Series win over Colorado, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was prepared to let the then 32-year-old leave. Less than two months later, New York gave him an even more lucrative agreement: $275 million over 10 years. But in the wake of Rodriguezs drug admission, the Yankees started to worry. And that was before his rst major injury. Hes a huge investment. So hes an asset, and this is an asset thats currently in crisis, Cashman said. So we will do everything we can to protect that asset. If this is Humpty Dumpty, weve got to put him back together again, to get back up on the wall. Rodriguez overcame right hip surgery that March and helped the Yankees to their rst World Series title since 2000. As the music played loudly and a crowd christened the rst season of the teams new ballpark with a championship, A-Rod thought back to that sorry day of apology in Tampa. I just knew then when I had the 25 guys there standing next to me, and organization and my general manager, they meant the world to me, he said. I said that day that this is going to turn out to be maybe one of the most special years of our lives, and it sure has.

FORTY FORT Some Sundays, Rosalie Eby and other volunteers dressed in colonial-era clothing wait for hours for visitors to show at the Denison House. And some days, no one comes. On one recent day, Eby, in full costume, stood near the road in front of the historic home to try to wave cars in. Nancy Lychos, secretary of the Denison Advocates, the volunteer group that runs the tours, realizes the Wyoming Valley is not a big tourist draw. But she said there is a lot of history here. And you might be missing out on much of it. Col. Nathan Denison, whose house this was, was one of the most important gures in Wyoming Valley history, in fact. He served as a colonel in the militia in the Revolutionary War. He was second in command at the Battle of Wyoming on July 3, 1778. Denison signed the papers of capitulation of the Wyoming patriot forces to the British after the Battle of Wyoming, and the table on which that paper was signed still sits inside the home. Bob Mischak, the volunteer groups vice president and nancial manager, said the agreement guaranteed the safety of the settlers, but they had to surrender their arms as well as 1,000 bushels of wheat meant for George Washingtons

army. Denison later became a justice of the peace and ended his career as a Luzerne County judge, Lychos said. Denison came from Connecticut in 1769, one of the 40 original men who settled the area, which is where Forty Fort gets its name, Lychos said. Nathans original home was a log cabin on the banks of Abraham Creek, Lychos explained. In those days, you could put a row boat on the creek. He built the house here in 1790. The Denison House, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is modeled after Denisons

grandparents home in Mystic, Conn., Lychos said. The hardware on the front door is a replica of his ancestral home, she said. The 2 1/2-story house is an 18thcentury New England-style home with the chimney built into the center. It has ve replaces, three of those downstairs. Denison and his wife, Betsy, lived in the home with their seven children. Their rst child, Lazarus, was the rst born in the settlement. Betsy and Nathan were both educated, Lychos said. He lived here until his death (in 1809). He probably died in the house. During the tours, visitors can learn the Denison history and see the home as the Denisons would have lived in it, from the original oor paneling and original arched stone replace in the living room to the movable crane for hanging metal pots in the stone replace in

the kitchen to the straw mattresses, linen clothing, spinning wheel and pewter wash basins upstairs. Outside is an herb garden that includes basil, oregano, mint, sage and other herbs early colonists would have used in cooking and for medicinal purposes. Denison also had a distillery on the property, though that is not evident today. Nathan was known as a distiller, Mischak said. It might have been a side occupation. He said Denison owned about 100 acres in Forty Fort and eventually 200 to 300 acres in what is now the Back Mountain. The home remained with Denison descendants until the mid 1930s, when the last descendant, Richard Reillay, sold it. Several additions that had been added to the house were later torn down when the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission took ownership. The commission also did extensive renovations on the property, Lychos said. The Luzerne County Historical Society had owned the house since 1967, when it purchased it for $25,000, Lychos said. But after the society could no longer afford to operate it three years later, the state commission took it over, she added. She said the commission gave it back to the society in 2011. Now the volunteer group gives tours from 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays from Memorial Day to the end of September. The last tour this year is Sept. 22, but the Colonial Harvest Festival will take place from 1 to 5 p.m. Sept. 29. The Afternoons of Colonial Hospitality will take place Dec. 7 and 8, also from 1 to 5 p.m.

To show how families celebrated the yuletide season in the past, children dressed in colonial garb strung popcorn during holiday tours of the Swetland Homestead in Wyoming.

Maybe you already know James Buchanan was the only life-long bachelor to become president of the United States. But did you ever hear the story of his broken heart? If you visit Wheatland his historic home in Lancaster County youll hear how Buchanan fell in love with a young woman and fellow attorney named Ann Coleman, whose wealthy family objected strongly to the idea of their marriage. After her sudden death in 1819, which may have been suicide, Buchanan vowed never to marry. And he kept that promise. Thats just one of the intriguing tales youre likely to hear if you take a guided tour of one of the many historic dwellings that are open to visitors in Pennsylvania. Which members of the Swetland family might have raced their horses along what is now bustling Wyoming Avenue? How did the wealthy Packer family try to prevent its servants from fraternizing? How did Gifford Pinchots guests pass the peas or the salad when they were dining outside?

You can nd the answers if you tour, respectively, the Swetland Homestead in Wyoming, the Asa Packer Mansion in Jim Thorpe and Grey Towers in Milford. While youre there, of course, youll also see lots of historic decor and furnishings that show you the way people once baked their bread, boiled their water, took care of their clothes, worked and socialized. Heres a list of 10 places you might want to check out on your travels: Asa Packer Mansion, Packer Hill Road, Jim Thorpe. Overlooking the Old Mauch Chunk National Historic District, this is the 1860s home of Asa Packer, a coal and railroad baron who founded Lehigh University.

A third single, Voices, was just released. Looking back on it now, it was such an emotional thing, Inez said. We just got back together for that one show with different singers, and then we did a world tour to play the songs one more time. And it got really big really quickly. This summer Alice In Chains will headline the Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival, which kicks off Friday at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton. Others on the bill include Janes Addiction, Coheed and Cambria, Circa Survive, Walking Papers, Middle Class Rut and New Politics.

Alice In Chains will headline the Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival, which kicks off Friday at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton.

Most bands would quietly fade away after the death of a lead singer. Then theres Alice In Chains. The Seattle band, originally comprising singer Layne Staley, guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell, bassist Mike Starr and drummer Sean Kinney, rode the initial grunge wave with Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden in the early 1990s. Alice In Chains sold millions of copies of its first three albums, three EPs and an MTV Unplugged album and racked up more than 20 radio hits. While it never officially disbanded, it was pretty much out of commission from 1996 forward due to Staleys substance abuse, which cul-

Zack Lopez and vocalist/drummer Sean Stockham have been the mainstays of Middle Class Rut (also known as MC Rut) since 2006. They will play the UPROAR shows in support of their latest album, Pick Your Head Up.

and we are looking forward to meeting some new folks at this one. Vocalist/guitarist Zack Lopez of Middle Class Rut agrees. All the bands fit in really well together, maybe more than usual, Lopez said. We all kind of fall into the heavier side of the alternative world. Lopez and vocalist/drummer Sean Stockham have been the mainstays of Middle Class Rut (also known as MC Rut) since 2006. The two formed this duo after their previous band, Leisure, fell apart in 2003. The UPROAR shows, in support of latest album Pick Your Head Up, will be the first to include additional musicians. Up until about two months ago, it really was just the two of us, Lopez said. But the new record has more layers, and in order to replicate the new record on stage, we need more players. If anything, this has added a

new energy for us, he continued. Everything was beginning to get stale (with just the duo), so it is cool to have more guys and a new sound. Its kind of weird to have all this stuff happening in 2013, Inez said of Alice In Chains reunion success. We are live- in-the-moment kind of guys, and we never thought we would be here, but we are truly blessed. We miss Layne. People dont realize how great a human being he was, Inez continued. I miss him daily on so many different levels, not just musically. These are real emotions, and I still get choked up when we do certain songs. But we went through this together. We wouldnt do this if we didnt feel right about it. Were having a good time being brothers, and hopefully we will keep going. As long as we keep writing good songs, I dont see why not.

Some strategies for Civil War era genealogy searches

Two weeks ago we discussed the ways for genealogists to get basic information about your Wyoming Valley ancestors in the Civil War, a highly relevant topic in this 150th anniversary of Americas TOM bloodiest MOONEY war. Today, Contributing lets answer Columnist a few more questions pertinent to that search. How common is the Civil War ancestor? If youve turned up ancestors in America in the early 1860s, its a pretty sure bet that one or more of the males from teenagers to middle-age men was in the military. Patriotism and draft calls ran that high. When I go to the National Archives website to get my ancestors paperwork, what kind of records am I likely to find? You should seek copies of military records and pension records. Theyre separate files. The ancestors military records give basic information about enlistment and service. The pension records, created after the war (if the ancestor lived long enough), are interesting because they include personal information such as injuries, postwar employment, addresses and marriage(s). Because I will have to know his regiment, how do I get that information? My column two weeks ago discussed local sources. A future column will discuss out-of-area sources. How do I find out if my ancestor saw combat? The pay information in his records will put your ancestor in particular places month by month. Standard Civil War histories available in local bookstores and through the Luzerne County Library System will tell you what fighting, if any, was going on there and what regiments were involved. As far as the

Civil War enthusiasts have created many websites devoted to particular regiments, listing personnel and describing the battles.
individual goes, those same National Archives records will cover discipline, injuries, prisoner status and fatalities. Also, Civil War enthusiasts have created many websites devoted to particular regiments, listing personnel and describing the battles. Is it true that there was once a special U.S. Census of Civil War veterans? Yes, in 1890 the federal government did a census of war veterans and their widows. Its purpose was to help determine pension eligibility. The original pensions were as little as $5 per month but still a goodly sum in those days. That census is available on microfilm through any library that can get the regular U.S. Census for you. It tells you if your veteran was still alive in 1890 and, if not, the name of his widow. Its especially valuable because nearly all of the regular U.S. Census for 1890 was destroyed in a fire. Were there burial benefits? Yes. An earlier law granted every veteran a free tombstone. Thats why nearly all Civil War vets tombstones in civilian cemeteries look pretty much alike. Tombstone applications are available at the National Archives and are valuable because they pin down the veterans death date, enabling you to find an obituary in local newspapers. Those obituaries can be treasure troves of biographical information. News Notes: Hats off to the Luzerne County Historical Society for its recent guided Civil War tour of Wilkes-Barres historic Hollenback Cemetery. Executive Director Tony Brooks pointed out the final resting places of local Medal of Honor winners James M. Rutter and Eugene Beaumont, as well as many other local figures who helped save the union. For additional trips back in time to our ancestors day, check The Guide in Fridays Times Leader for information on tours of the Swetland Home and the Denison Home, both operated by the Historical Society, as well as tours of the historic Forty Fort Meeting House and of Eckley Miners Village.

Stirling Lodge

Great Fishing Less Than 7 Hours Away!

Located in the heart of the Rideau Lakes, excellent Bass and Pike shing have brought shermen to Stirling Lodge for over 120 years. Our Facilities are capable of handling groups both large and small, with rates starting at just $99 USD per person.
Newboro Lake provides some of the best bass shing anywhere. Both large and smallmouth bass are plentiful. The Pike shing is excellent though we dont see pike over 13 pounds. What they lack in size they make up for in numbers. Newboro Lake is one of the very few lakes in Canada with a sh sanctuary on it and is the only one with two. These protected areas and the catch and release practice of many of our guests results in amazingly stable and consistent shing. Newboro Lake has it all; from lily pads in the shallows, tree stumps, weedy areas, hundreds of islands, depths to over 100 feet and beautiful clear water limestone rock formations (which means acid rain is neutralized) its easy to see why shermen have made this a favorite spot for well over 120 years.

Well Help You Get There.

With summer in full swing, the beach is beckoning, the hammock is hovering, and the lawn chair looks like the longlost lap of luxury. If downtime means picking up a good book, weve compiled a list of some recent fashion-focused books and breezy reads to help you kick back in style. A Grand Complication: The Race to Build the Worlds Most Legendary Watch Stacy Perman Atria Books: $26 To the hard-core horological enthusiast, a 352page book about an early20th-century competition between wealthy watch collectors already sounds like a scintillating read. But for the rest of the book-reading world? Not so much. That Perman has crafted a compelling tale that tells several stories at once and will appeal equally to readers inside and outside of the insular watch-collecting community is a testament to her considerable skills. The basic story arc of the book is that of the 1900 to 1928 battle between wealthy nancier Henry Graves Jr. and entrepreneur James Ward Packard (perhaps best known as the co-founder of the Packard Motor Car Co.) to commission the most advanced and complicated watch ever created. (In watch-speak, a complication is any feature beyond the display of hours, minutes and seconds. The Graves Supercomplication timepiece thats at the heart of the book had 24.) But the horological arms race is but a springboard to painting a wider picture of the period especially as it pertained to the luxuries afforded the moneyed class. Along the way the book delves into status, class and the peculiarities of conspicuous consumption that laid the groundwork for the price-is-no-object attitude of the modern-day watch acionado who wears not his heart on his sleeve, but his entire personal identity on his wrist. At times, Permans pacing makes the tale feel downright suspenseful, and some of her descriptions are as complicated and beautiful as the watches themselves. For example, she describes the Patek Philippe timepiece this way: It was as if Merlin captured Galileo, Shakespeare, Newton, and Beethoven, encased their essence in gold, and then slipped the mechanism inside a mans waistcoat, where their collective genius might tick through eternity. Artist / Rebel / Dandy: Men of Fashion Edited by Kate Irvin and Laurie Anne Brewer Yale University Press: $50 This collection of essays and photographs was compiled to accompany an exhibition of

the same name (on view through Aug. 18) at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum of Art, which has the stated aim of reconsider(ing), and celebrat(ing) the dandy. Edited by RISD Museum Costume and Textiles curators Irvin and Brewer, it manages to do so right from the preface, with menswear designer Thom Browne offering this take on the rake: I see the dandys place in todays fashion culture as one who promotes simplicity and uniformity in mens fashion. That may sound counterintuitive, but most of the essays that follow underscore that point, accompanied by the kind of glossy detail shots of monogrammed shirts, bespoke waistcoats, detachable collars, frilled collars, handkerchiefs, riding jackets, cutaway tailcoats and top hats that make even the most hard-hearted dandy drool with delight. The 15 essays that celebrate the dandy include musings on some of the patron saints of dandyism such as Glenn OBrien on Beau Brummell, Patti Smith on Baudelaire and Merlin Holland on his grandfather Oscar Wilde. Also examined are some more contemporary (and perhaps less obvious) men of the dandy persuasion, such as Andy Warhol, Malcolm McLaren and Waris Ahluwalia. The compilation also includes an extensive piece by Monica L. Miller on the topic of Black Dandyism and Hip-Hop (think Andre Benjamin of Outkast, Fonzworth Bentley and Nat King Cole). Kawaii! Japans Culture of Cute Manami Okazaki and Geoff Johnson Prestel: $24.95 This photo-driven, soft-cover book does two things. First, it tries to trace the Japanese popculture preoccupation with all things cute (the word kawaii, the book says, roughly translates as cute) back to its roots, a primordial petri dish that includes inuences from Japans Taisho era, post-World War II manga, and 1970s-era schoolgirls from which the likes of Hello Kitty, Sailor Moon, Gloomy Bear and their brightly colored compatriots would eventually emerge. From there, the book takes a rainbow-hued, saccharine-sweet fun run through myriad modern manifestations of kawaii in the categories of foodstuffs, fashion, handi-

Pair of stunts has networks thinkingSharknado

DAVID BAUDER
AP Television Writer

NEW YORK Colliding stunts on Discovery and The Weather Channel next week feel like another Sharknado. Discovery is having its 26th annual Shark Week of programming at the same time The Weather Channel is airing Hurricane Week. The weather folks cant resist a joke about it, airing a promotional ad that depicts a giant shark flying away in a stiff wind that references both Shark Week and Sharknado, the Syfy network movie that has become a campy classic this summer. If having a little fun with this very serious topic helps get a little more attention, were all for it, said David Clark, Weather Channel president. Shark Week is a mixture of fun and science, even including a shark talk show this summer. Discoverys embrace of the weeks pop culture status was signaled with the Snuffy the Seal ad that has received more than 5.5 million views on YouTube and the Discovery website. The ad shows a fake newscast telling a heartwarming story of a seal being returned to his natural habitat. But as the seal is being lowered into the water, a giant shark jumps up and snatches the animal in its jaws. The news crew looks horrified as an announcer says, Its a bad week to be a seal. The shark in The Weather Channel ad has something black in its mouth could it be Snuffy? before being blown away. A true Sharknado collision for the networks would actually come in the spring, when The Weather Channel holds Tornado Week. But its hard to argue with the weather calendar, and August is about when hurricane season begins in earnest. The Weather Channel skipped Hurricane Week last year, but the interest in Superstorm Sandy brought it back. Along with boosting viewership during a normally quiet period and reminding people where they should tune when a storm is menacing a coast, the channel hopes to deliver valuable tips on hurricane preparedness, Clark said. Sharks as a danger is something that captures the imagination, but hurricanes are a very real danger that affects millions of people every year, Clark said. The dual stunt weeks didnt seem to thrill the folks at Discovery all that

much, perhaps because its better to have a clear path with less competition. We havent talked to them at all, said Michael Sorensen, senior director of programming at Discovery. Its interesting that theyre putting a stunt week up against ours, especially since ours has a long track record. So well see how that goes. People at Discovery have certainly talked

about how the film Sharknado fits into Shark Week and have booked the movies star, Tara Reid, onto its latenight talk show, Sorensen said. He said he could see the movie influencing future Shark Week programming, perhaps with a look at shark horror movies or examining whether there is any science behind the science fiction in the movie. To a certain degree,

though, Sharknado is terrific promotion for Shark Week. It shows people the curiosity and the fascination that people have about sharks that that kind of thing can be buzzed about, he said. Meanwhile on Wednesday, Syfy announced the start of a Sharknado merchandising program, selling shirts, bags, posters and accessories tied to the movie.

Parks and Recreation also stars Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza and Aziz Ansari as employees working in local government in Indiana. Jones has been on the series since its first episode.

Priestly is more than a passing presence on the pages of Revenge. Even though theres a new love interest for Andy, assorted couplings and uncouplings, plenty of workplace crossings

and double-crossings, the crew is definitely 10 years down the line, and theres a noticeable shift into a thirtysomething mindset. Theres also a lot of pop culture catching up to do. That means name-dropping Sofia Vergara and President Obama, referencing reality TV shows Toddlers & Tiaras and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and having characters Google-stalk one another. For fans of the original book (or the 2006 film that followed), reading Revenge will probably feel a little like going to a high school reunion. Everyones moved on, and things are slightly different, but the same dynamics are still in play. And thats what makes it the kind of book youll want to toss into your Yacht Life tote bag when youre in need of a fun beach read.

storied research stacks and into storage to make way for a lending library with other volumes, computers and a cafe. Library ofcials say it will save the research books and millions of dollars and adapt the grand building further to the wired world. But a roster of scholars, preservationists and other critics suspect the library of masking a real estate ploy as a public benet and say the project will turn a singular institution into library lite. Bibliophiles protested outside a trustees meeting, Pulitzer Prizewinning historians have sued the library, and novelists including Salman Rushdie, Jonathan Lethem and Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa signed a petition. While library leaders have made sizable concessions and say the plans are being redrawn, the uproar continues in a chorus of anxieties about libraries roles when information is only a touchscreen away. For libraries in general, this is a moment of transformation, library President Anthony Marx said in an interview. And certainly the controversy over this building and its renovation is, I suppose, the most visible aspect of that transformation. In recent years, many libraries have grappled to balance and pay for new demands for electronic services and livelier environments against their commitments to provide repositories for books and settings for study. Their efforts have spurred commentary about the line between catering to changing times and morphing into a book-themed mall. Those choices have come under scrutiny in cities including Seattle, where the striking, 9-yearold Central Library has been praised as a design jewel, tourist draw and boon to book circulation but faulted as short on amenable spots to, well, read. After San Franciscos new main library opened in 1996, novelist Nicholson Baker publicly deplored plans ultimately abandoned to eliminate its card catalog in favor of an online system. But perhaps no other U.S. library has the prole of the New York Publics 102-year-old main building. Scenes from Breakfast at Tiffanys and Network were lmed there. More than 100 books have been at least partly researched or written there, including Robert Caros Pulitzer Prize-winning The Power Broker and Karen Russells acclaimed 2011 novel Swamplandia!

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have an original and creative mind, as evidenced by the choices you make today. A small thing like the color you wear or your choice of words will be the cause of interest and attraction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Social interaction is never only what it seems to be on the surface. Attuned to the undercurrents, youll learn something that will amuse you for weeks to come. Theres power in this knowledge. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have your reasons for wanting things to stay the same around the home. But youll also be very adaptable when things change, as they will tomorrow. Take a few pics to document this time. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You experience what it means to be a part of a collective. Youll speak in terms of we and us, put the group mindset at the forefront of your thoughts, and act in accordance with what the group needs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You dont require that everyone think like you. You respect the way people stand by their opinions and appreciate enthusiasm for things that dont inspire the same zeal in you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll be a bit distracted in a good way. Your high level of interest in a subject fuels productivity. When you take part in activities that feed your soul, you are less hungry for actual food. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The kindness you show and the way you interact with people will make a difference. The day will be better because of you. Later, when people want to show their gratitude, let them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Roll with the changes and stay positive you have every reason to be! A minor loss will turn out to be a major gain, and you will be free to find a better match. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Youre on the right path, and the rightness of it is what gives you power. People will get out of your way. You have the strength, fire and mystical presence of a benevolent dragon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19).

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE

Grandma calls halt to last-minute baby-sitting

Dear Abby: Im a 60-year-old grandmother of eight wonderful grandchildren, ranging in age from 2 to 24. My question is about baby-sitting. I believe my children think we OWE them baby-sitting duties. I dont mind babysitting once in a while, when I feel like it. But I dont feel like it when the parents want to go out and party, or they tell me at the last minute, little Susie needs some Grandma time, or they want to go to the gym because they dont want to give up the freedom they had before their children came along. What are your thoughts on boundaries for this generation of parents-whowant-it-all at the expense of my generation who, back in the day, if a neighbor kid couldnt baby-sit, we just stayed home? I know I should have set some rules at the beginning, but Im starting to feel resentful of their expectations. Wants Some Freedom, Too, in Minnesota Dear Wants Some Freedom, Too: There is truth to the saying that good fences make good neighbors, and the philosophy applies to many circumstances. Setting clear boundaries makes for healthier relationships. Keep in mind that many grandparents would love to have your problem. But as you stated, your problem was in not setting ground rules from the beginning. Because you feel resentful, its time to have a frank talk with your children and say that as much as the grandkids may need Grandma time, Grandma also needs Grandma time. And when you do, be firm because unless you stand your ground, nothing will change. Dear Abby: Im 62 years old and a widower. My wife passed away in July 2011. It has taken me a while to get over losing her. I realize how much she did for me as I have been learning how to be a house husband without a wife. My wife told me this was the first house she lived in that had a dishwasher. She was so proud of it! I could never understand why she would wash the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Now I have to do it myself, I understand why. My question is, is there a detergent that will actually CLEAN the dishes? Also, do you have any cute readers who would like to teach an old man how to clean house? Fending For Myself Dear Fending: Im sorry I cant print your name or location because if I did, you might be crushed in the stampede. If you and your late wife were married 20 or 30 years and the dishwasher was already installed in the house when you moved in, it is now practically an antique. Because you have tried several brands of detergent and your dishes arent getting clean, you probably need a new dishwasher. (And I do not mean a cute, young one.) Dear Abby: I am not happy. No matter what I do, I am filled with emptiness and loneliness every minute of every single day. Being near friends and family lifts my spirits, but only for a little while. Then I am reminded once more of my loneliness and emptiness. I feel like I am being consumed by misery, and I dont want to feel like this anymore. Please tell me what to do. Searching For Happiness Dear Searching For Happiness: The feelings you describe can be symptoms of chronic depression, which is a treatable illness. Thats why Im urging you to discuss them with a physician. A combination of medication and talk therapy can help you feel better again, so dont put it off.

5 free things to do on Hatteras Island,N.C.

National Seashore makes up much of Hatteras Island, meaning theres no development except in the seven villages Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco and Hatteras. Some beaches are so narrow that waves lap under homes, while others are so wide that youre out of breath by the time you get to the water, even if youre lucky enough to stay in an oceanfront home. Vehicles are generally allowed on the beach, although not on the beaches in front of the villages during tourist season. Rules protecting birds and turtles mean driving is banned along some popular shing areas at times so be sure to check. Details at http://www.nps. gov/caha/index.htm . Graveyard of the Atlantic museum Some 600 shipwrecks litter the Hatteras coastline, giving rise to its nickname, Graveyard of the Atlantic. Most of the wrecks have been blamed on Diamond Shoals, an area of shifting sand bars that extends 14 miles (22.5 kilometers) into the Atlantic. The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum in Hatteras is dedicated to local seafaring history. The museums focal point is a 12-foot-tall (3.6meter) lens made in 1854 for the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Its known as the rst-order Fresnel lens (rst order refers to size, Fresnel was the name of its designer). Other artifacts include an Enigma machine from a German U-boat, used to encrypt and decode messages, and a display about Billy Mitchell, who proved in the 1920s that airplanes could sink battleships, an idea that other military leaders of the time openly ridiculed. In September 1923, Mitchells bombers sank two obsolete warships off Cape Hatteras from the air to prove his point. The local aireld is named after him. Admission is free; donations are encouraged. Details at http://www. graveyardoftheatlantic. com/index.htm . Bird walks, moving islands and more The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offers numerous opportunities to learn about nature, many of which are free. One new program teaches visitors (and maybe some residents) about barrier island migration and why the ocean keeps cutting into N.C. Highway 12, creating new inlets. About 400 species of birds live in the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, and the USFWS offers free tours three days a week from late spring to midautumn and at least once a week the rest of the year. Details at http://www.fws. gov/alligatorriver/spec. html . Lighthouses The National Park Service charges admission to climb both the Cape Hatteras and Bodie (pronounced bah-dee) Island lighthouses. But nothing stops visitors from looking at the lighthouses and admiring them from the ground. Bodie Island just underwent a $5 million makeover and was opened to the public in April for the rst time in its 141-year history. The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, recognized by its famous black-and-white barber pole stripes, is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States. It was moved in 1999 to protect it from beach erosion. Details at http://www. nps.gov/caha/planyour-

visit/climbing-the-capehatteras-lighthouse.htm and http://www.nps.gov/ caha/historyculture/bodieisland-light-station.htm . Ferry from Hatteras to Ocracoke At the end of Hatteras Island, near the museum, you can take a free ferry from Hatteras Island to Ocracoke Island, which is still part of the national seashore. The ferry takes about 40 minutes. On Ocracoke, you can visit a British cemetery and the Ocracoke Lighthouse, built in 1823 and noted for its white exterior. The Ocracoke cemetery has four of the 34 victims from the HMS Bedfordshire, which a German torpedo struck and sank on May 12, 1942. A fth body washed up on Hatteras Island and is buried there, next to a British sailor from the merchant vessel San Delno, which was also torpedoed by the Germans.

This is the renovated Bodie Island Lighthouse on North Carolinas Outer Banks. The National Park Service charges admission to climb both the Cape Hatteras and Bodie Island lighthouses, but nothing stops visitors from looking at the lighthouses and admiring them from the ground. Bodie Island just underwent a $5 million makeover and was opened to the public in April for the first time in its 141-year history.

HATTERAS, N.C. Hatteras Island along North Carolinas Outer Banks is a ckle but alluring place. The island juts into the Atlantic, making it a bullseye for high winds, waves and the occasional hurricane. Cautious vacationers listen to weather reports regularly to make sure they dont need to evacuate ahead of an approaching storm. In August 2011, Hurricane Irene closed the only road across a bridge to the island, N.C. Highway 12, for weeks, and Superstorm Sandy did the same again last fall. Without the road, getting to and from the island requires two ferry rides one from the mainland to Ocracoke Island, and a second one from Ocracoke to Hatteras. And yet the islands appeals are irresistible its beauty, its serenity, its calm. Yes, you can nd plenty to do, such as shing and wind surng. But Hatteras also is the place to sit on the beach, walk on the beach and nap on the beach. The best part about Hatteras? Most of what makes it special is free. The beach The Cape Hatteras

Rays Maddon a real players manager

COLEY HARVEY ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Jamey Wright did a doubletake the day he saw the DJ. Then there was the time he saw the magician. And the merengue band. Oh, and the live penguins, too. At times during Wrights rst two months as a pitcher for the Rays, his newest clubhouse looked like Barnum and Bailey or Siegfried and Roy had taken it over. Little things like that, Ive never seen in a clubhouse, said Wright, an 18-year major league veteran who arrived in Tampa Bay earlier this year. Welcome to Joe Maddons madhouse. Or, perhaps more appropriately, welcome to a baseball players paradise. As eccentric as Maddons freespirited, fun-loving approach to managing players and personalities may appear to be, it is the primary reason why Tampa Bay boasts the type of environment many big leaguers are desperate to see rst-hand. The approach also is the bedrock of a cash-strapped franchise that in recent seasons has bucked expectations and made winning its surprising calling card. Maddons Rays have scorched through the last month as baseballs hottest team. After retaking the American League East lead Monday night with a thrilling 2-1 win in Boston, Tampa Bay is hoping to outlast the pesky Red Sox and Orioles, and staving off the injury-weary Yankees. Hes one of the best managers in our game today, Houston Astros manager Bo Porter said. According to players from across the majors, Maddon isnt just one of the best. He is the best. To them, hes the Twain of reconstruction era literature; the Warhol of the 20th century pop art movement. You hear guys all the time say it: Id take a pay cut to go play for Joe, Tampa Bay inelder Sean Rodriguez said. Rodriguez did the next closest thing in 2010, four years after Maddon left Anaheims bench to begin managing the Rays. When he made his own switch out of an Angels uniform, Rodriguez was given just an additional $500 on his previous annual salary. He has since been paid more than twice that original gure.

Royalty For Life wins Hambletonian

After all of the change surrounding the Penn State football program last season, the 2013 campaign will bring more of the same for Nittany Lions fans.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Driver Brian Sears is turning the Hambletonian in a doubleheader of sorts. For the second time in ve years, Sears swept the two biggest races for 3-years trotters, capturing the $1.2 million Hambletonian with Royalty For Life and the $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks with Bee A Magician on Saturday at the Meadowlands Racetrack. I thought I had an opportunity to have a really good day, said Sears, who also accomplished the Hambo double in 2009 with Muscle Hill in the Hambletonian and Broadway Schooner in the Oaks. But it also could be a really bad day if you dont have any luck. Things can just go wrong. Things went perfectly in both races, especially after the 45-year-old Sears put his

3-year-olds on the lead early. Speed was gold Saturday and once Sears had the lead in both the Hambletonian and Oaks, he was never threatened. This was a special Hambletonian. It marked the nal time the old Meadowlands Racetrack played host to trottings elite a new building will open in November, and it was the rst time since 1996 that the Hambletonian was raced in same-day heats. Royalty For Life, who recently won the Stanley Dancer Memorial here, had no problem with the heats. The son of RC Royalty cruised to victory in the rst heat and won the nal by 3 lengths over Smilin Eli in 1:52 1/5, a fth of a second slower than his heat. The George Ducharmetrained colt paid $3.60. $3.40 and $2.60. I feel a lot better, the pressure is off, Ducharme said after Royalty For Life won his

fourth straight races after starting off the year winless in three starts. I thought he came out of the elimination really good, I was real happy with it, and when he drew the rail I really didnt think thatd be a problem I thought itd be a benet and thats the way it worked out. Royalty For Life won despite missing a month of action earlier this year with an illness. It was a little frustrating but the owners stuck by me and let me gure a few things out and it beneted all of us, said Ducharme, who solved a breaking problem that Royalty For Life had early in the year. He has settled into a groove pretty good, Sears added. He is a big strong horse and he likes to race. He needed a few more starts, consistency and thats why I thought he would fare well with the two heats. See ROYALTY | 8C

Newman uncertain about his future

NOTEBOOK

Johnson
From page 1C thus far including four victories that ties him with Matt Kenseth for the most has given him a 75-point lead in the drivers standings. Its nice to have the points lead, said Johnson, who drives the No. 48 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. I think it sends a message to the garage area that we are good on all types of tracks, all types of situations. But through it all even though I have a huge points lead right now I still have my eyes on three or four cars that I think will be the guys to deal with in the Chase. No driver has clinched a spot in the Chase, where the Cup champion will be determined over the nal 10 races. But for Johnson and about a half dozen others for that matter that fact needs to accompanied by a wink. It would take a collapse that would rival the worst in the history of sports for Johnson to be knocked out. And even that probably wouldnt bump him. Dont expect the freefall to begin today. Johnson has won three times at Pocono and dominated on each occasion. Johnson led 128 of 160 laps in June, surrendering the lead only during pit stops. Once the eld cycled through greenag servicing, he was back out front again. By the midway

LONG POND Ryan Newman enters todays GoBowling.com 400 fresh off a victory at Indianapolis, his rst win in his last 50 races. But the win at the Brickyard hasnt produced any impending offers for the driver of the No. 39 Chevrolet, who is looking for a new team in 2014. The win helps, said Newman, who will start fourth today, but its not a light switch. It doesnt turn everything on bright. It helps and gives you a vision, but there is more to it than that. The $20 million sponsor doesnt jump right after you. I wish it did, but it doesnt. Newman is in his fth season with Stewart-Haas Racing, a team partial owned by fellow driver and teammate Tony Stewart. He has won four times during that span. He also won 13 races in his seven years with Penske Racing, but hasnt been able to come close to duplicating his breakout season of 2003 when he won eight times. Stewart informed Newman about three weeks ago that he was going to be replaced by Kevin Harvick once the season ends. Harvick is leaving Richard Childress Racing where hes been since 2001. Harvick replaced seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt after his fatal crash at the 2001 season-opening Daytona 500. Harvick is also taking the lucrative Budweiser sponsorship to Stewart-Haas. Childress has said he will maintain a three-car team next year, but has been mum in several media reports about the driver opening. Meanwhile, Newman is caught in a waiting game. I dont know, Newman said. You can sit there and talk to somebody, but until the writing is on the paper and the ink is dried, you really dont know. But I am in a situation where the phone has not rung off the hook with sponsors or car owners or manufacturers or any of that. SIGN OF THE TIMES: Jeff Burton broke into the Cup series in 1994 as part of a promising rookie class. Also in that group were Loy Allen, John Andretti, Todd Bodine, Ward Burton, Steve Grissom, Joe Nemechek and Mike Wallace. Only Burton and Nemechek remain as active Cup drivers. Burton is still racing competitively, while Nemechek has been reduced to a start-andpark driver in recent years. The Class of 1994 didnt live up to its billing, winning just 32 times in 2,709 Cup starts. Burton won 21 of those races. Still, its doubtful the Cup series will see such a large rookie class again. Because what has gone on in Nationwide, Trucks and other

Ryan Newman will be replaced by Kevin Harvick at Stewart-Haas Racing once the season ends.

series, no driver has ever really stood out because not a lot of drivers are getting the chance that I got or some other guys got, said Burton, who will start 13th today in the No. 31 Chevrolet. Sponsorship is dried up. A lot of things have happened thats made it harder for younger guys to break into the Cup level. POOR DENNY: Its been a very rough year for Denny Hamlin. He missed four races while recovering from injuries suffered in the fth race of the season. He seemed to be back on track when he nished eighth at Pocono in June, only to fall into a slump that will keep him out of the Chase for the rst time in his eight-year career. And now hell start todays race in the ninth position, the blackhole at Pocono. Winners in the 71 Cup races at Pocono have started in the top 10 on 49 occasions. But never in the ninth spot, the only top-10 starting position that hasnt produced a winner. WAYBACK MACHINE: Ryan Newman won his fourth Cup race 10 years ago at Pocono. Here are some other nuggets from that 2003 race. Of the 43 drivers in the eld, only 17 of them will be on the starting grid today. Newman and four other drivers won at least $100,000. In the Pocono race this past June, 24 drivers collected at least $100,000. Newman won driving a Dodge. The 2003 eld had 14 Chevrolets, 14 Dodges, 11 Fords and four Pontiacs. Todays race will have 18 Chevrolets, 13 Fords and 12 Toyotas. MARK-SETTING MARK: Mark Martin will tie Terry Labonte for second place in Pocono starts today. Both drivers will have competed at Long Pond in 54 races. If the 54-year-old Martin returns for another season in 2014, hell pass Ricky Rudd (55) and become the all-time leader in starts at Pocono. Martin has 40 Cup wins in 868 starts, but Pocono has been his White Whale. He has nished second here seven times.

point, it was obvious the only way Johnson was going to lose was if he made a mistake or the car had mechanical issues. Pocono to me has always been a track I felt a sweep is possible and easier to have a sweep here than at other tracks just due to the calendar, said Johnson, who won both Pocono races in 2004. Theres not a lot of time between the rst race and the second race. Things dont change a ton.

Kyle Busch will start alongside Johnson on the front row. Busch has never won here, but behind those two are four previous Pocono winners Carl Edwards and Ryan Newman in Row 2, and Kurt Busch and Joey Logano in Row 3. Newman arguably presents the biggest challenge to Johnson among that bunch of former Pocono winners. He was Johnsons main adversary for much of the June race before

nishing fth, behind Greg Bife (second), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (third) and Stewart (fourth). He led 19 laps, second most. Although Newmans season has been a mixed bag, he enters off a victory at Indianapolis where he led 45 of 160 laps. He took the lead from Johnson after Johnsons had a slow pit stop late in the race. Johnson paced the eld by leading a race-high 73 laps to that point.

DAN GELSTON

LONG POND Sitting in the truck, Ryan Blaney got some fatherly advice right before the green ag dropped. Choose the right line on restarts. With more than 570 NASCAR starts behind him, Dave Blaney sure knew what he was talking about. Ryan Blaney pulled away on the second attempt at a greenwhite-checkered nish to win the Truck Series race Saturday at Pocono Raceway. It was pretty funny that we were talking about restarts before the race and thats what it came down to, Blaney said. Blaney had the truck to beat on both restarts to win his second career Truck race

in 20 starts. He dipped low and took the lead off the rst restart, then would not be denied a second time. It was just a matter of being able to get close to make the move, Blaney said. Once the nal restarts came, I really had to be aggressive. The 19-year-old Blaney drove a Ford into Victory Lane in the Truck Series for the rst time in four years. About the only one who missed out on the fun was team owner Brad Keselowski. Keselowski, the reigning Sprint Cup champion, was off to Iowa to drive in the Nationwide Series race. Blaney gave Keselowski a happy landing. Pole-sitter Miguel Paludo nished a careerbest second and German Quiroga matched a career best with a third-place nish. Joey

Coulter and Ross Chastain rounded out the top ve. Series points leader Matt Crafton was eighth and now leads Jeb Burton by 52 points. We had the fastest truck on the racetrack all day long, Paludo said. Its a little frustrating to come second but Ill take it. The eld was set by practice speeds after rain washed out qualifying on Saturday. A third-generation driver, Blaney now has more NASCAR wins (2) than his dad. Dave Blaney is winless in 450 career Cup starts, three Truck starts and has one win (2006) in 121 Nationwide starts. Ive been really lucky to have my dad at both of my Truck wins, Blaney said. Not a lot of guys can say that. Ive been fortunate enough to have him here and have him give me advice along the way.

Patrick
From page 1C will start 34th in todays GoBowling.com 400, hopeful that her experience from Junes race can make a difference. In her rst race at the track, Patrick nished 29th after heavy rain Friday washed out qualifying and took away another chance to get familiar with each distinct turn. All I can think about is that we never did any qualifying runs the last time we were here with the weather, Patrick said. (This time), all weve done so far is qualifying runs, so its a very different Pocono this time around. Were just trying to work with it. We red off OK (in June), and then just seemed like as we tried to increase speed, we were nding some issues that were preventing us from going faster. So were trying to keep up with what the car does in qualifying trim. It didnt end up great, but hopefully it will be good (this time). The unique layout at Pocono traditionally causes trouble

for drivers new to the circuit. Patrick was no exception. Its not enough to get a lesson or two from someone like Tony Stewart, who owns the team they both race for, or to simply try and follow his example in qualifying. All three corners are pretty different, Patrick said. Denitely in the race, turn 3 is very important because its the longest straightaway. In qualifying, turn 2 is very important because its so fast. Im looking at what Tonys doing here and Im like, I cant do that! Yet. But Ill keep working on it. That about sums up Patricks rst Cup season thus far. Making the transition from IndyCar to NASCAR in the past two years, she surprised many by winning the pole for the Daytona 500 in her Cup debut and earning a top-10 nish. It was her best nish in 20 races this season, and she enters the weekend in 26th place in points and largely out of contention for a spot in the Chase. Learning how to deal with those dips in performance has been one of her biggest chal-

Danica Patrick is hoping for a better showing today at Pocono than her first experience at the track in June. She was 29th in June and will start 34th today.

lenges this year. Its very hard to not get down when youre not nishing where you want to, ultimately, Patrick said. But there are 42 other people that want to do the exact same thing that youre doing or that you want to do. You just have to set small goals. Thats the only thing you can do

to combat against getting frustrated in the process of where youre at set realistic goals. Realistic goals are the most important thing. For me, its just been top 20 all year. And as soon as I nally start doing that all the time, Ill adjust some. But for right now and for all year, its been (tough).

OBrien during the teams 15 spring practices, he also has not been on campus for the past month, returning home to California while his mother is undergoing treatment for skin cancer. That has allowed Hackenberg to get all of the reps during informal sessions with the receivers since the end of June. I dont want to get too personal, OBrien said of Fergusons situation this week in a radio interview. His moms sick. His moms going through a tough time. Hes got family back home. He asked me to go home for the last couple weeks here and be back (in August), and I said sure. Ferguson was expected to return to State College yesterday in time to attend todays meetings. One concern is that Fergusons absence could affect chemistry with his receivers, though OBrien disagreed with that. I mean, they havent played in a game yet, OBrien said. You know what I mean? Where you really earn the respect of your team, where you ultimately earn it is after youve won the job in spring practice or in training camp, and then you go out in a game and you win a game as the starting quarterback. You make plays to help your team win a game. Ultimately, thats where you win the respect of your team. With that in mind, OBrien considZach Zwinak (28) was known for his physical running style during his breakout 2012 season. ers both to be on the same level as But the junior tailback will be eased into contact drills during camp as he returns from a wrist camp opens. Im going to basically split the injury suffered in April.

Penn State players will report in for training camp today and open with their first practice on Monday. And with that, the NCAAs penaltyfree transfer window for the Nittany Lions will close. The team doesnt view this as a milestone. Perhaps thats a sign of progress in and of itself. Those who were going to leave have already done so. For nearly all of the players who chose to stick it out through the 2012 season, returning for 2013 was a formality. So the end of the first part of the NCAA sanctions has become a bit of a footnote as Penn State State begins the new season. For coach Bill OBrien, his staff and his players, its time to get back to football. Hopefully we hit the ground running, OBrien said at Big Ten media days in July. And were not running around like a bunch of chickens with our heads cut off. We know where to go and what the drill is. Were ready. Of course, there are still plenty of

things to work out before the Lions face Syracuse in the Aug. 31 opener. The Lions open camp with 65 healthy scholarship players. A 66th, defensive end Brad Bars, will miss the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Two more players linemen Luke Graham and Anthony Stanko have left the team in the past year but remained enrolled at Penn State and still count against the teams scholarship total, which sits at 68. The NCAA limit is 85. Penn State will be limited to 65 for four seasons beginning in 2014, due to NCAA sanctions. Beyond that, here are some of most pressing issues facing the Lions during camp.
The main event at quarterback

Tyler Ferguson and Christian Hackenberg will only have the next two weeks to make their case to OBrien. The coach has said repeatedly he wants to decide on a starter midway through camp in order to give the victor some extra time to work exclusively with the rst-team offense. Though Ferguson has the benefit of getting direct tutleage from

Bill OBrien is anxious to lead the Nittany Lions back onto the field for his second season at the helm of the program.

reps, OBrien said. And I think thats whats best for the team. And Im going to see, hopefully pretty quickly, who stands out. Maybe neither one of them does, and I have to make a choice. But I would say from a knowledge standpoint, you would think that having already run the plays for 15 practices, that Ferguson would be slightly ahead. But only slightly. Whether it ends up being Ferguson or Hackenberg under center against Syracuse, the bar has been set very high from last season. Look, Matt McGloin had played a lot of football before we came here, OBrien said of his former starting quarterback. And Matt McGloin went out there and had a fantastic season. Matt McGloins got a chance to make the Oakland Raiders. You talk about a guy who really is a potential pro quarterback. So to expect a young quarterback to go in there and play like Matt McGloin, thats not fair to that young quarterback. After a few weeks of growing pains for the entire offense playing in a completely new scheme, McGloin went on to break multiple school passing records and was the Big Tens best pocket passer in 2012. OBrien and his staff recognize, however, that the same things that worked well for McGloin in the offense might not be the best for a rookie. What weve done this offseason is weve tried to tweak our scheme to match what is obviously going to be a young quarterback, OBrien said.

What can we do to maybe, not simplify, but maybe do some things that plays into the young quarterbacks hands a bit better. And hopefully that works. But our expectations dont change as far as scoring points.
Adapting the rest of the offense

OBrien will have to quickly judge what his new quarterback will be able to handle, especially in September. That could mean more work early on for Zach Zwinak and the running game. Zwinak, though, will be a bit limited at the start of camp as he finishes his recovery from a significant wrist injury suffered in the BlueWhite Game. Zwinak is expected to be 100 percent before the start of the season. The receiving corps will add local standout Eugene Lewis to complement starters Allen Robinson and Brandon Moseby-Felder. Lewis, tailback Akeel Lynch and tight end Brent Wilkerson were all highly regarded prospects who redshirted in 2012 and figure to help the offense right away in 2013. I think (redshirting) helped them a lot, and I think it helped our program, OBrien said. Now you have those guys who we think are going to be dynamic players you have them for four more years. I think it was a good decision by us, and I think it helped them develop their games. See PENN STATE | 7C

Ex-PSU RB Warner shares stories about sons autism

GENARO C. ARMAS
Associated Press Writer

STATE COLLEGE Curt Warner hesitated and took a breath before stepping back to the podium following an encouraging pat on the back from his wife. Talking about autism is tough on the former Seattle Seahawks and Penn State running back. But Warner says raising twin boys, both autistic, has been even tougher more difficult than any 4th-and-1 run hes ever had in his College Football Hall of Fame career. Joined by his wife, Ana, and another son, Jonathan, Warner returned to his

alma mater this week to deliver the closing address at the National Autism Conference. It was the first time the family appeared together to talk about the developmental disability affecting 19-year-old twins Austin and Christian. We are never going to give up on our boys, Curt Warner said, drawing applause from the several hundred in attendance. Never give up, never give in, but you learn to pray quite a bit. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines autism spectrum disorders as a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges, and

says people with autism handle information in their brain differently from other people. It took a little coaxing for Warner to share his experiences at the conference for educators and other professionals, as well as families. The ability to visit oldest son Jonathan, 20, at Penn State helped. The younger Warner, a redshirt freshman receiver, starts training camp with the team on Monday. We can bring so much to the other families who are part of it, Ana Warner said at a news conference after their talk. You need to make it real. You have a child with autism and there are things you have to deal with. See AUTISM | 7C

Penn State
From page 7C Dont be surprised to see the Lions regularly use five tight ends in a game, either. Kyle Carter, Jesse James and Matt Lehman were all very effective in 2012 and now Wilkerson and blue chip true freshman Adam Breneman join the cast. Despite coming off of an ACL injury last summer, Breneman is full-go for camp and OBrien said he sees him as a freshman who can step in and contribute immediately. Up front, the offensive line took a big step forward under new position coach Mac McWhorter and new strength coach Craig Fitzgerald. So while the Lions will replace starters like Matt Stankiewitch and Mike Farrell, they have fifth-year seniors like Ty Howle and Adam Gress to step into their roles. Fellow veterans Garry Gilliam and Eric Shrive will push for time as well.
Overhauling the secondary

When the Lions start their first practice Monday, its possible that only one starter from last season will be lining up in the same spot. Penn State is planning to move forward with sophomores Trevor Williams and Jordan Lucas at cornerback, moving Adrian Amos back to safety to play with Malcolm Willis.

As the reigning Big Ten receiver of the year, Allen Robinson (8) has already drawn plenty of attention from NFL scouts as the talented wideout enters his junior campaign.

Amos saw time at safety when camp opened last summer as well. But ultimately he played most of the year at corner because of the teams lack of depth at the position. OBrien and new defensive coordinator John Butler believe the defense is best served with Amos at safety full-time. No question, OBrien said. Theres better depth in the secondary. We lost (2012 starting corner) Stephon Morris, but theres better depth now than there was last year. The emergence of Williams and Lucas has helped that along. Though Williams played receiver last year and Lucas was almost exclusively on special teams until last November, OBrien said After redshirting in 2012, tight end Brent Wilkerson (11) and linebacker Nyeem Wartman (5) are both in line to conthey were two of the most tribute for the Lions in 2013.

Autism
From page 7C The Warner twins werent diagnosed until they were 5. Since then, programs to help kids and their families have increased in what Ana Warner viewed as a welcome, positive step. The Warners relayed emotional stories, such as having a family member sleep by the door when on vacation to make sure the boys dont wander. The most important thing with autism is youve got to have some faith, Curt Warner said. This is a struggle that doesnt just end. Warner was a leader on Penn States 1982 national championship team. He went on to rush for more than 6,800 yards and 56 touchdowns in eight seasons in the NFL, mainly in Seattle.

CANTON, Ohio As relaxed as if he had no one to block, Jonathan Ogden became the first Baltimore Raven enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was followed moments later by former Packers linebacker Dave Robinson. Ogden was the leadoff inductee Saturday night in his sevenmember class, just as he was the first player drafted by the Ravens after the franchise moved from Cleveland in 1996 and was renamed. The man who made that selection, fellow Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome, now Baltimores general manager, presented the massive offensive tackle. Newsome was one of more than 120 hall members, a record, who returned to Fawcett Stadium for the festivities as the hall celebrates its 50th anniversary. Joining Ogden and Robinson in the current induction class are Larry Allen, an offensive lineman who played 12 of his 14 seasons for the Dallas Cowboys; Cris Carter, who spent 12 of his 16 seasons as a wide receiver with the Minnesota Vikings; defensive tackle Curley

Culp, who had seven-season stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Oilers; linebacker Warren Sapp, who played nine seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; and Bill Parcells, who coaches the New York Giants, New England Patriots, New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys. A former college shot putter at UCLA, at 6-foot-9, 345 pounds, Ogden was an imposing presence at tackle for a dozen seasons in Baltimore, winning the 2000 NFL championship. Six months after the Ravens won their second Super Bowl, Ogden gave a smooth, humor-laden speech, always in control just like he was when neutralizing even the best opponents. He is part of the foundation of this franchise, part of the reason we have two Super Bowl championships, Newsome said. Ogden, who was given a 2013 Super Bowl ring by the team, made the hall in his first year of eligibility. He was a six-time All-Pro, made the Pro Bowl 11 times and was the main blocker when Jamal Lewis rushed for 2.066 yards in 2003. Talent isnt enough, Ogden said. A lot of people have talent, they dont always live up to it. For

me it is about maximizing, striving for perfection. I am so proud to be the Baltimore Ravens first Hall of Fame inductee. Robinson became the 12th inductee from the vintage Packers coached by Vince Lombardi to be enshrined. Robinson was a prototype outside linebacker who could rush the quarterback, cover tight ends or running backs on pass plays, and stop the run. He made the NFLs All-Decade team of the 1960s and won three NFL titles, including the first two Super Bowls. This is the biggest day of the 21st century for the Robinson family, he said, adding that he lives 25 miles from here but it took me 38 years to get here. Not quite: Robinson served on the Hall of Fames board of directors for 27 years. Now, he has a bust in the museum. I never dreamt about the Hall of Fame when he was at Penn State, he joked. There wasnt even a Hall of Fame when I broke in to the NFL. Indeed, Robinsons rookie season was the year the hall was created, 1963. Now, I am immortalized.

AKRON, Ohio Tiger Woods followed one of the best rounds of his life with a solid 2-under 68 on Saturday in the third round of the Bridgestone Invitational, giving him a seven-shot lead and setting him up for a remarkable eighth victory at Firestone Country Club. Unlike in a second-round 61 that could easily have been a 59 or even lower, Woods didnt recover from all of his errant shots. He bogeyed the ninth, 14th and 16th holes, failing to bounce back from mediocre shots. Yet he still was good enough to put himself in position for yet another lopsided victory, one that will likely mark him as the player to beat next week in the PGA Championship at Oak Hill. He had a 15-under 195 total Henrik Stenson was second after a 67.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland Inbee Park wanted tough conditions at St. Andrews to try to make up an eight-shot deficit in her pursuit of a fourth straight major. It turned out to be too tough for anyone. The third round of the Womens British Open was suspended by gusts that topped 40 mph and kept golf balls from staying put on the greens. After waiting six hours for the wind to calm, players were told to return Sunday morning for a marathon finish. Whether that becomes a break for the leaders Na Yeon Choi at 10-under 134 was an hour away from teeing off wont be known until Sunday. Park, trying to become the first golfer, male or female, to win four straight pro majors in the same season, was 1 under for the round and 3 under overall after four holes.

From page 1C Smilin Eli returned $7.60 and $4.80. while Corky was third and paid $4.40 for show. The other heat winners werent close. Spider Blue Chip, who was trying to give trainer Chuck Sylvester a record-tying fth win in the Hambletonian, was fth in the nal, while Creatine was eighth. The win with Royalty For Life came less than 30 minutes after Bee A Magician remained perfect in nine starts by also scoring a 3-length victory over Classic Martine in a stakes record time of 1:51 4/5. The R. Nifty Norman-trained lly returned $2.40, $2.10 and $2.10 in breaking the old record of 1:53 set by Windylane Hanover in 2002. She gets off the ground so easy. And as a chaser thats pretty big, I knew there were some horses on my back but she overcame it and everything worked out, said Sears, who politely declined to predict who would win a match race between Royalty For Life and Bee A Magician. The 15-race card featured ve other stakes races. Shake It Cerry ($5) won the $321,700 Merrie Annabelle for 2-year-old trotting llies; Father Patrick ($4.80) won the $280,500 Peter Haughton Memorial for 2-year-old trotting colts and geldings; Sevruga (21.60) won the $318,350 John Cashman Memorial free-for-all

The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA Dan Uggla had a tiebreaking RBI grounder in the 12th, the Atlanta bullpen pitched 5 2-3 scoreless innings and the Braves beat the slumping Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Saturday night for their ninth straight win. Luis Avilan (4-0) pitched a scoreless 11th inning to earn the win and Craig Kimbrel got the last three outs for his 33rd save as the Braves won for the 11th time in 13 games. Phillies left-hander Jake Diekman (0-2) pitched a perfect 11th but ran into trouble in the 12th. Justin Upton walked leading off and went to second on Freddie Freemans groundout. Walks to Evan Gattis and Paul Janish loaded the bases. After right-hander Justin De Fratus came on, Uggla hit a bounding ball to short that looked like it could be a double play, but Uggla was safe when Chase Utleys relay pulled an extended Kevin Frandsen off the bag at rst.

NEW YORK Pinchhitter Justin Maxwell homered deep into the left-eld seats leading off the 12th inning, and Kansas City overcame a late blown lead against New York. Kansas City, which had a nine-game winning streak snapped Friday with a loss in the 11th, is 8-2 in extra innings. Maxwell, acquired Wednesday in a trade with Houston, hit a 3-2 pitch from David Aardsma for his fth career pinchhomer and rst overall with the Royals. The New York bullpen had been perfect after starter Jeremy Hefner left after six innings, but Aardsma couldnt retire the rst batter he faced.

CINCINNATI Devin Mesoraco drove in three runs with a pair of homers, and Cincinnati nally broke out against St. Louis. The Reds won for only the fourth time in 11 games between the NL Central rivals. Cincinnati had scored fewer than four runs in each of their last nine games head-tohead. Left-handed Tony Cingrani (5-1) and four relievers contained an offense that had scored 26 runs in the last two games, allowing four hits.
Nationals 3, Brewers 0

BOSTON Jake Peavy allowed four hits in seven-plus innings to lead the Red Sox to a victory over Arizona, winning his rst start since coming to Boston at the trade deadline. Peavy (8-5) struck out seven and walked two, giving up Paul Goldschmidts homer in the fourth and leaving with a 3-1 lead after a leadoff single in the eighth. He walked slowly from the mound as the crowd rose to a standing ovation, tipping his cap to the fans while crossing the rst-base line on his way to the dugout.
Tigers 3, White Sox 0

MILWAUKEE Dan Haren pitched seven strong innings and Adam LaRoche and Wilson Ramos hit home runs to lead Washington to a win over Milwaukee. Heron gave up just four hits, with six strikeouts and two walks.
Dodgers 3, Cubs 0

CHICAGO Chris Capuano scattered six hits over 6 1-3 innings and Los Angeles set a team record with a 13th straight road win, beating Chicago. The Dodgers eclipsed the 1924 mark set by the Brooklyn Robins. Carl Crawford broke open a 1-0 game by driving in two runs with a single in the sixth inning. Jerry Hairston Jr. singled in the rst run in the third for NL West-leading Los Angeles, which is 13-2 since the All-Star break and has won 30 of its last 37 overall.

DETROIT Max Scherzer took a shutout into the eighth inning before being pulled, and the right-hander became baseballs rst 16-game winner when Detroit held on for a victory over punchless Chicago. The White Sox have lost nine straight. The Tigers have won 11 of 12, despite playing most of that stretch without slugger Miguel Cabrera. Scherzer (16-1) allowed three hits in 7 2-3 innings. Jose Veras got the third out of the eighth, and Joaquin Benoit nished for his 12th save in 12 chances.
Athletics 4, Rangers 2

OAKLAND, Calif. Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run home run to help Oakland end Texas vegame winning streak. Matt Garza (7-2) lost for the rst time since June 11 and the Rangers lost ground on the AL West Division leading As for the rst time in nearly a week, falling 3 1-2 games back. Jed Lowrie and Eric Sogard also drove in runs for the As, who ended a three-game losing streak. Brandon Moss and Coco Crisp each added two hits.

Maddon
From page 1C Such sentiments on Maddon were quantied June 12 when Athlon Sports released results of an anonymous player poll it had conducted. The publication found that 14.3 percent of players believed Maddon was the best manager in the major leagues. Clevelands Terry Francona came in second on the list, receiving 10.2 percent of the vote. Joes a good time. He likes to have fun, Wright said. Hes denitely got the reputation of being a players manager. If anyone should know what separates a good manager from a bad one, its Wright. The baseball journeyman has played for 16 of them throughout his career. Players manager is a guy that, hes laid back, he has his rules and theres not a lot of them, Wright said. The players respect those rules and they want to go out there and run through a brick wall for the guy. Once a mainstay in the Angels organization, Maddons career began in 1981 when he coached in the minor leagues and helped coordinate spring training. He had very little success those days, notching just one league championship in 1982. The 34-36 record those Salem Angels compiled was the closest thing to a winning tally that he had until the big-league Angels went 19-10 under his guidance in 1999. That mark came in the second of two stints he spent serving as Anaheims interim manager. In Tampa Bay, he hasnt just been a players delight. He has become a fan favorite and media darling. His thick, blackrimmed glasses are as much a part of his idyllic persona as his penchant for showing off his expansive interests outside of baseball. An avid cyclist, the adventurous Maddon spent his All-Star break traveling by a new method. He and his bride of four years packed up their recently-bought RV and journeyed to parts unknown. He isnt the typical baseball manager. What other managers can seamlessly name drop the Contiki Islands in a postgame wrap with reporters, and then even more smoothly reference the ethnographer who voyaged across the South Pacic to the islands? Thor Heyerdahl came to our rescue today, Maddon said after one recent win. Theres a reason some call him quirky, others, unconventional. To understand why, look no further than the mostly hands off approach on rules-making. The sources for that philosophy are multiple, starting with former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan. Rules cannot take the place of character, Greenspan once said. Why does Maddon believe there is little value for hard-coded rules and manager-imposed discipline? He just does, thats why. Thats rooted more in how I was raised, said Maddon, a 59-year-old Hazleton native and child of the 1960s. You get rebellious. You wanted to be treated like a man and be able to make your own mistakes. Ive always believed in that. Two years ago, just after opening the season with a 1-8 record, the Rays boarded a ight from Chicago bound for Boston. When they did, Maddon poured out shots of whiskey for every person on the plane. Heres to the best 1-8 team in the history of the game, Maddon pronounced. As perplexing as the spectacle was at the time, it inspired the 2011 Rays. There wasnt anything to feel bad about. The year was just beginning, and its nish was far from having been scripted. He turned out to be right. We made the playoffs, Rays inelder Sam Fuld said, recalling his rst season with the Rays. That was shocking for me. That was a totally different experience to see that from a manager. Thats when I knew this was a pretty cool place to be. With that, the losses were ushed; just like the 10-1 loss at Detroit earlier this season when Maddon blasted polka music in the clubhouse at alarmingly cheerful decibel levels. The upbeat tune had players forgetting the beatdown. That makes it easier to come in the next day and strap it on and get after it, Wright said. The Rays won the next day, 3-0. Wins like it are expected to continue with Maddon at the helm. Signed through 2015, Tampa Bay believes he is one of the key pieces of its future. If the future will be anything like the Rays recent division-winning, pennant-chasing past, it is sure to include plenty of penguins and a whole lot of fun. It all has translated to wins on the eld, good chemistry and guys who want to go out there and battle for each other, Wright said. In part, because of him, its a good group here.

RailRiders cant solve Cloyd, IronPigs

PAUL SOKOLOSKI

MOOSIC If the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders wanted to break out of their recent scoring slump, they certainly ran into the wrong guy to do it against. Red-hot Lehigh Valley pitcher Tyler Cloyd wasnt cooling down much. Instead, Cloyd kept the RailRiders bats cold, and the IronPigs battered around Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ace Chris Bootcheck in a 5-1 Lehigh Valley victory at PNC Field. Cloyd, who initially struggled after being demoted by the Philadelphia Phillies in mid-June, has regained the form that made him the International Leagues pitcher of the year in 2012. He shut the RailRiders down on six hits over seven

smooth innings while rolling to his third straight victory since early July - and made Saturday night his fth straight start for the IronPigs where he didnt allow more than a single run. The lone run for the RailRiders came when Dan Johnson who had half the teams hits against Cloyd walloped a home run over the right eld wall with two outs in the sixth inning. By that time, Cloyd and the IronPigs had the game well under control. A couple of guys not known for power muscled up against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starter Chris Bootcheck, who dropped to 9-5 on the season. Light-hitting Freddy Galvis drilled a long home run to right eld in the rst inning, and ninth-place hitter Tyson Gillies unloaded another bomb to right eld in the third. That was only the beginning of Lehigh Valleys power display, as Bootcheck also surrendered four doubles. One of those came from Cody Overbeck in the fourth inning a ball lost by left elder Ronnier Mustelier that hopped over the wall and sent Josh Fields to third base. Pete Orr then ared a single into left eld, bringing Fields home with a 3-0 IronPigs lead.

Despite Dan Johnsons home run, the RailRiders couldnt manage much off Lehigh Valley ace Tyler Cloyd, who allowed just one run over seven solid innings to record his third straight victory over the last month. RailRiders starter Chris Bootcheck was hardpressed to match him, allowing two homers over the first three innings. RailRiders at the plate: Not many RailRiders were able to solve Cloyd, but Dan Johnson was one of them. Johnson provided the teams lone run with a solo homer to right field, and also added two singles during his 3-for-3 night. Brendan Harris drew two walks, and Alberto Gonzalez also reached base twice, including on a single to left field. RailRiders on the mound: It was a rough outing for starter Chris Bootcheck, who two home runs and four doubles. But the bullpen was brilliant, starting with Sam Demel who retired all five hitters he faced and struck out the first four. Cesar Cabral then made his RailRiders debut with an inning-ending strikeout in the eighth, then fanned two more in the ninth while setting down all four men he faced. Decisive defense: Freddy Galvis flashed the glove that got him into the Phillies lineup for a few stretches over the past couple of years. He made a nifty backhanded stop of a hot shot by Brendan Harris in the second inning, then from one knee fired to second base for a force out. Riding the Rails: Cabral, who missed last season with a stress fracture in his elbow, was promoted from Double-A Trenton and made an immediate impact in the RailRiders bullpen after Josh Spence was released. Also, RailRiders All-Star outfielder Thomas Neal was designated for assignment. Attendance: 7,814. Time of Game: 2:30. Todays Game: The RailRiders finish a short two-game series with Scranton/WilkesBarres former team with a 1:05 game today. Todays Probables: Righty Brett Marshall (5-8, 5.13 ERA) goes for the RailRiders against Lehigh Valley righty David Buchanan (6-11, 4.82 ERA). On Deck: The RailRiders enjoy a rare off day Monday, then head to Syracuse on Tuesday to complete a game suspended when rain doused PNC Field last month before playing the regularly-scheduled game afterwards. On the Radio: All games can be heard on WYCK 1340-AM, 1400-AM and 100.7-FM. HOW THEY SCORED LEHIGH VALLEY FIRST: Freddy Galvis pulled a long homer over the right field wall. LEHIGH VALLEY 1-0. LEHIGH VALLEY THIRD: Tyson Gillies tagged another solo shot to right field. LEHIGH VALLEY 2-0. LEHIGH VALLEY FOURTH: Josh Fields began the inning with a single to center field, then took third when Cody Overbeck bounced a ground-rule double over the left field fence. Pete Orr then flared a single into left field, scoring Fields. LEHIGH VALLEY 3-0. LEHIGH VALLEY FIFTH: Derrick Mitchell drew a one-out walk and advanced to second base on a single by Galvis. Mitchell moved to third base on a fielders choice grounder and scored on a passed ball. LEHIGH VALLEY 4-0. LEHIGH VALLEY SIXTH: Tyler Henson reached base on an error when the throw from third base pulled first baseman Dan Johnson off the bag a play that was originally called an out but reversed after a discussion by the umpiring crew. RailRiders manager Dave Miley was tossed from the game while vehemently arguing the reversal, and for good reason. Henson scored when Steve Laird followed with a run-scoring double to left field. LEHIGH VALLEY 5-0. RAILRIDERS SIXTH: Dan Johnson launched a two-out solo homer over the right field wall. LEHIGH VALLEY 5-1.

OutdOOrs News
Pennsylvanias early migratory bird seasons have been approved, and changes this year will increase the number of birds hunters can keep. The early seasons for mourning doves, Canada geese, woodcock and other migratory bird species break down similarly to last year. The biggest difference is in regard to possession limits. A change in federal regulations has allowed Pennsylvania to increase possession limits for most migratory game birds from two times the daily bag limit to three times the daily bag limit. Those changes are taking place across the board in the early seasons. The calendar has had an inuence on the opening days for some seasons. Dove hunters will be able to take to the eld Monday, Sept. 2, in the rst segment of a triple-split season. The rst segment ends on Saturday, Sept. 28, and daily hunting hours during the rst segment are from noon to sunset. Other dove-hunting segments run from Oct. 26 to Nov. 30, and from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, with hunting hours during those segments set at one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. The daily bag limit in each dovehunting segment has been set at 15, with a possession limit of 45. The September statewide season for resident Canada geese also will open Sept. 2, and continue through Sept. 25. The September season retains a daily bag limit of eight Canada geese, but the possession limit has climbed to 24. Shooting hours during the September goose season are one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset, except for on Sept. 14 and Sept. 21, when the season overlaps with youth waterfowl hunting days. On those days, shooting hours end at sunset. There are special regulations including smaller bag limits and possession limits in a couple of areas of the state. In most of the Southern James Bay Population Goose Zone, and on the Pymatuning Reservoir and the area extending 100 yards inland from the shoreline of the reservoir, excluding the area east of state Route 3011 (Hartstown Road), hunters will have a daily limit of three and a possession limit of nine. Also, in a portion of western Crawford County, the daily bag limit is one goose and possession limit is three geese. That area begins south of state Route 198 from the Ohio state line to intersection of state Route 18, then follows Route 18 south to state Route 618; follows Route 618 south to U.S. Route 6; Route 6 east to U.S. Route 322/state Route 18; routes 322 and 18 west to intersection of state Route 3013; and Route 3013 south to the Crawford/ Mercer County line. The exception to the rules in this area is State Game Lands 214, where September goose hunting is closed. This restriction does not apply to youth participating in the expanded youth waterfowl hunting days, which are set for Sept. 14 and 21, when regular season regulations apply. The controlled hunting areas at the Game Commissions Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area in Lebanon and Lancaster counties, as well as all of State Game Lands 46, will remain closed to September goose hunting to address the decline in the resident Canada goose ock. And, in the area of Lancaster and Lebanon counties north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and east of state Route 501 to state Route 419; south of See MIGRATORY | 13C

From page 12C While serving as a deputy doesnt mean that person will eventually be promoted to a full-time WCO, it is a good stepping stone for the position in the sense that it offers valuable training and experience. Rutkowski said many of the commissioned ofcers in the northeast region began their careers as deputies, himself included. He was a paramedic for 13 years before becoming a deputy in 1992. Rutkowski became a deputy because he wanted to give back to the resource, but it wasnt long before the volunteer, part-time post changed his career path. In the early 1990s, I was in a canoe on Mud Pond in Lackawanna County working the rst day of duck season with another deputy, Victor Rosa, Rutkowski said. It was just getting light over the pond, and Vic said, Could you imagine doing this for a living? It took me seven years, but I got into the training school and became a WCO after that. For McGlone, who is 58, he has no intentions of becoming a WCO, but would like to remain a deputy until he has reached the maximum age of 70. Im still as enthused about it as I was 20 years ago, he said. You really get a satisfaction from knowing youre helping the WCOs and the resource. Sure there are sacrices, such as less time to hunt. But youre outdoors much more. And thats exactly what Rutkowski hopes will compel more people to explore becoming a Deputy Wildlife Conservation Ofcer.

If you want to give something back to the resource, and have the time and the will to do it, then the program might be benecial for you, he said. The rewards you will gain from this will outweigh any money or lost hunting time.

For more information on the Pennsylvania Game Commissions deputy program, visit www.pgc.state.pa.us, click on the tab labeled The Law and Becoming a Deputy WCO. The deputy program was started on April 11, 1903, when the Game Commissioners authorized to appoint deputy game protectors. Seven deputies were appointed immediately and 30 by years end. In the early 1990s there were more than 1,000 deputy wildlife conservation officers through the state.

Aside from an $80 per day stipend, a uniform and some other equipment, most of the start-up costs for a new deputy are out-of-pocket. Mark Rutkowski, who serves as the law enforcement supervisor for the Pennsylvania Game Commissions Northeast Region, said that cost could hit $1,000 after a deputy purchases items such as a firearm, holster and radio. Coupled with intense and time-consuming training that could take two years, it requires a high level of commitment from someone interested in becoming a Deputy Wildlife Conservation Officer. So what can be done to make it easier for those who are interested? Anything to defray the cost for these people to get up and running, Rutkowski said. Save some of their out-of-pocket expense. Six months ago, the PGC Board of Commissioners increased the deputy stipend from $65 to $80 per day, and Jay Delaney, who represents the Northeast Region on the board, suggested more could be done. Increasing the stipend was a start and were looking into providing our

deputies with body armor, he said. And theres still room for improvement after that. Delaney said the decline in the deputy force a peak of 1,200 in the 1970s to 363 today, is similar to the challenges faced by volunteer fire and ambulance departments. People just dont have the time to commit to the job, he said. With all the training thats necessary for this, its hard to get a dedicated person, Delaney said, adding that the training requirements cant be reduced. We dont want to put a deputy out there who isnt well-versed. While there is no guarantee that a deputy will be promoted to a full-time WCO, Delaney said it is another area where a change could make the job more appealing. Right now, Delaney said, deputies are considered part-time volunteers. Because they go through extensive training and gain years of experience working in the field, those attributes should be considered. Right now if youre a veteran you get 10 points added to the civil service test. Why cant we give our deputies additional points based on their service? Delaney said. Deputies are extremely valuable to the agency and we can always do more.

Safety in numbers
it comes to safety. Kapral said the uncertainty that comes along with each call makes it important that WCOs always have backup. He currently has one deputy for his district and ideally would like four to six. Theres been plenty of times Im glad I had a deputy to back me up, Kapral said. When youre going to a potential violators house or making a stop late at night, having backup right there with you is a huge advantage. Mark Rutkowski, law enforcement supervisor for the PGCs northeast region, said hed like to each WCO have two to three deputies. Each WCO is allowed up to nine. The deputies we do have are very dedicated to this, Rutkowski said. Most will take off work for the first three days of deer season and also give up their hunting on those days just to work with us. Thats dedication.

From page 12C Fortunately, there is only one species of spider in Pennsylvania whose bite we have to worry about the black widow. Jacobs said they arent very common in the state and the fear that people have with spiders is comparable to that of snakes its an overreaction. All spiders have fangs and venom, but are their bites medically important? No, Jacobs said. Most bites have little or no effect. If anything spiders, like snakes, are more beneficial to people than harmful. Just like snakes prey on rodents, spiders do a pretty good job of cleaning up nuisance insects. But that doesnt mean Id welcome them any closer than the front porch of my house.

As one of three a wildlife conservation officers in Luzerne County, Gerald Kapral has quite a bit of ground to cover everything west of the Susquehanna River. It can be overwhelming at times, particularly during the first day of deer season when Kapral simply cant be everywhere at one time. But that doesnt mean that he doesnt have eyes throughout the district. Deputies are vital to a WCO, Kapral said. If Im in Exeter Township and I get a report that someone shot a deer from the road in Fairmount Township, theyd be long gone by the time I got there. Fortunately, I can have my deputy in another area where we know were going to have violations. While deputies go a long way toward aiding a WCO in covering a large district, they are also equally important when

From page 12C Rwwoute 419 to Lebanon-Berks county line; west of Lebanon-Berks county line and Lancaster-Berks county line to state Route 1053 (also known as Peartown Road and Greenville Road); west of Route 1053 to Pennsylvania Turnpike, the daily bag limit is one goose, with a possession limit of three geese. This restriction does not apply to youth participating in the youth waterfowl hunting days, which are set for Sept. 14 and 21, when regular season regulations apply. Kevin Jacobs, a waterfowl biologist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, noted that recent liberalizations in Canada goose hunting opportunities, along with control programs being implemented by many municipalities and public and private landowners, appear to be stabilizing the growth of the states resident Canada goose population. The 2013 Pennsylvania spring resident Canada goose population was estimated at 279,212 , which is statistically similar to the recent eight-year average of 265,905. However, populations remain signicantly above the management goal of 150,000. Hunting remains the most effective and efcient way to manage resident Canada geese, provided hunters can gain access to geese in problem areas, Jacobs said. Youth waterfowl days are open to licensed junior hunters who are

As of July 19, there were 363 Deputy Wildlife Conservation Officers in the state. The number of deputies peaked at mor e than 1,200 in the 1970s, according to PGC spokesman Travis Lau. The figure has declined steadily since, dropping to 963 in 1998. Lau said an average of 500 people inquire about the deputy program each year and approximately 100 apply. After a lengthy and intense training period, more drop out, he said. Last year only three individuals completed the program to become deputies. The following is a breakdown of the number of deputies in each region: Northeast - 36 Northwest - 89 Southwest - 79 Northcentral - 40 Southcentral - 62 Southeast - 57

12 to 15 years old. To participate, a youngster must be accompanied by an adult, who may assist the youth in calling, duck identication and other aspects of the hunt. During those hunts, youth can harvest ducks, mergansers, coots and moorhens, and both youth and licensed adults can harvest Canada geese. During youth waterfowl days, youth and adults have the same daily limit for Canada geese in the area being hunted. Bag limits for ducks, mergansers, coots and moorhens will be consistent with the limit for the regular season, which will be announced in midAugust, after the annual Waterfowl Symposium on Aug. 9. Pennsylvanias woodcock season retains its longer format this year, opening on Oct. 19 and closing on Nov. 30. The daily limit remains three, but the possession limit increases to nine. The season for common snipe also will run from Oct. 19 to Nov. 30, which is the same structure as previous years. The daily limit is eight, and the possession limit is 24. Virginia and sora rail hunting will run from Sept. 2 to Nov. 9. Bag limits, singly or combined, are three daily or nine in possession. The season for king and clapper rails remains closed. Hunting for moorhen and gallinules also runs from Sept. 2 to Nov. 9, and the bag limits are three daily and nine in possession.

Migratory game bird hunters, including those aeld for doves and woodcock, are required to obtain and carry a Pennsylvania migratory game bird license ($3.70 for residents, $6.70 for nonresidents), as well as a general hunting, combination or lifetime license. All waterfowl hunters age 16 and older also must possess a federal migratory game bird and conservation (duck) stamp. Hunting hours for all migratory birds close at sunset, except for September Canada geese, as noted above, and the snow goose conservation season. Annual migratory bird and waterfowl seasons are selected by states from a framework established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Pennsylvania 2013-14 Guide to Migratory Bird Hunting brochure will be posted on the Game Commissions website (www. pgc.state.pa.us) in mid-August. Hunters are encouraged to report leg-banded migratory game bird recoveries online at www.reportband.gov, or use the toll-free number (800-327-BAND). Hunters will be requested to provide information on where, when and what species were taken, in addition to the band number. This information is crucial to the successful management of migratory game birds.

Data thieves have ways and means to elude justice

St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MCT)

PErSONal FINaNCE: PamEla YIP

GEOrGINa GuSTIN

in late March, before Schnuck Markets inc. knew the extent of a breach that compromised as many as 2.4 million debit and credit cards, a Wal-Mart employee in plano, Texas, saw something strange. The employee, a loss prevention ofcer, noticed a woman acting oddly. She was trying to use several different payment cards at the register, and she was buying gift cards. Both of those things raised red ags, so the ofcer took the woman aside. Later that day, the woman was charged with credit card forgery. And sometime that same day, law enforcement authorities made a link: The 44-year-old Fort Worth, Texas, woman was attempting to shop with counterfeit cards containing data that had been stripped from a card used at a Schnucks grocery store, hundreds of miles away and probably months beforehand. While thousands of fraudulent transactions linked to the breach happened all over the country, the womans arrest is one of only a possible handful made so far and it was something of a uke. The fact is, experts say, its not likely that many people will be called to account for their criminal connections to the breach. The woman may have been what cyber-crime investigators consider a mule or a runner a person who takes fake cards encoded with stolen data and attempts to see if the cards work, reporting success or failure to higherups. Or she may have bought the cards on the black market, hoping to get away with fraudulently purchased loot, or in this case, gift cards. (Often, investigators say, criminals buy these storedvalue cards with fraudulent payment cards, then sell them on the street for cash, usually taking less than what the card is worth.) in other words, she is small potatoes not the person investigators are after. The people investigators really want are likely thousands of miles away, possibly in Eastern Europe, and they may never catch them. Those thieves, experts say, have probably closed up shop and moved on, vanishing without a trace, leaving people such as the woman charged in plano holding the proverbial bag. Schnuck has said it rst noticed on March 15 questionable activity on 12 cards used at its stores. Four days later, the company hired respected forensics rm Mandiant to conduct an investigation. police in Maryland Heights, Mo., where Schnuck Markets inc. is headquartered, along with other area departments, started taking reports from shoppers saying their cards had been hacked. The U.S. Secret Service, the FBi and the Missouri attorney general got involved. When word got out, customers panicked. Some stopped shopping at the store. Law enforcement authorities advised shoppers to pay in cash. Banks began canceling and issuing new cards. As the situation crested, everyone, it seemed, knew someone whose card had been hacked. On April 14, Schnuck revealed just how widespread the attack had been: The Mandiant investigation, the company said, revealed that as many as 2.4 million cards may have been breached from December 2012 to March 2013.

Think of this as an economic pop-up. A small business here or there starts talking about seeing promising signs of economic light. And promising signs are pumping up payrolls, as several female business owners told me that they once again will begin hiring. We often focus on whats happening in autos or real estate when talking about the economic recovery. But as business owners, women are key to watch as well when it comes to economic development. There are more than 10 million businesses owned by women and Yip growing at a faster rate than any other type of small business, said Terry Barclay, president and CEO of inforum and inforum Center for Leadership in Detroit. According to the Small Business Administration Ofce of Advocacy, women-owned businesses account for 28.7 percent of all businesses nationwide. A national study early this year indicated that female entrepreneurs were optimistic about the future. The survey conducted by Web.com Group inc. and the National Association of Women Business Owners found that about 85 percent of women business owners surveyed predicted that more women will become entrepreneurs in 2013 than in past years. And 38 percent planned to invest more in hiring this year than they did in 2012 a positive sign for the economy. Some women who own businesses told me that they do have renewed hope and plans to expand their business and do some hiring. The female business owners i talked with this summer are cautiously optimistic. The key word to focus on here is optimistic. Dierker & Associates, a Troy, Mich.based law rm that specializes in intellectual property rights, says more companies, including those in the automotive and computer products industries, are once again condent about their business outlook. Companies are more willing to invest in developing new products, and thats creating more work for patent-related legal counsel. Now, were ramping up again, said Julia Church Dierker, who started the rm in 2002. Several years ago, when work was plentiful, the rm had six attorneys, but that was before the economic slump hit hard in 2008-09. The rm has three attorneys now. But the upswing in the rms legal work makes Dierker & Associates more willing to hire maybe one or two attorneys within the coming year. We would not be actively trying to add to our professional staff if we were not condent, Dierker said. No doubt, small business owners arent just hiring to hire. Some new job openings can only be lled by people with very specic qualications and talents. Many jobs are being created to handle work on clearly dened projects. Detail Xperts, a Detroit-based steamcleaning car wash franchise, sees new opportunities after surviving the recession. The company, which has 10 employees now, expects to hire about 50 people for a new operation in downtown Detroit in the next few months. Angela Williams, who owns Detail Xperts, says keeping contacts open and building name recognition during the downturn created a stronger foundation for building the business now. Contacts and sales calls that Detail Xperts made two or three years ago are nally turning into real work, she said. The company has auto detail shops and mobile detailing units and cleans automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, boats and even airplanes. We stayed in the forefront. We stayed out there, said Williams, who owns the company with her husband, Emmanuel Williams. paula Tompkins, CEO and founder of Dearborn, Mich.-based ChannelNet, said her business has picked up as the nancial services and automotive nancial services sectors have gained ground. She noted that changes in the digital world favor her business, too. Customers are empowered now. They dont want to hang on with phone calls to call centers, she said. instead, consumers are willing to handle many transactions online. See Yip | 2D

Diego porqueras Deezmaker store in pasadena, Calif., is a geeky version of Santas workshop, brimming with action gures, chess pieces and jewelry. But instead of relying on elves, porqueras has built his own oneman factory using 3-D printers capable of churning out plastic objects within a few hours. He sells the printers, which go for as little as $650, at the shop, which opened in September in a strip mall. The 37-year-old entrepreneur is part of an emerging industry for affordable 3-D printers. The technology has long been used in the aerospace and automotive industries, among others, to create prototypes, but has slowly crept into the consumer market with simplied printers that can be had for a few hundred or thousand dollars. You can make so many things with them, porqueras said. people who have businesses buy them for making prototypes. parents buy them to make toys for their kids. Hobbyists buy them because they like to tinker. 3-D enthusiasts imagine a day when these printers are as ubiquitous as phones and people print out many household goods instead of stopping at a store. Small-business owners are already switching to these printers from more expensive industrial machines. prices are expected to drop even further after key patents on 3-D printing technology expire next year. Usually about the size of a microwave, these machines print threedimensional objects by melting plastic and depositing the material layer by tiny layer based on a threedimensional computer-generated design of a necklace, say, or a fork. More advanced and expensive printers can use materials such as metal and chocolate. For those who are less tech-savvy, there are new smartphone applications that streamline the process of crafting or altering a design. Online markets have also popped up in which shoppers can customize and order 3-D-printed clothing, toys, gadget accessories and other products. industry experts say 3-D printing

could revolutionize traditional manufacturing, much as the internet upended the music industry, and fundamentally alter how consumers shop and how much they pay. Some tech companies are already foreseeing a day when every home contains a 3-D printer churning out custom furniture and clothes, or a Kinkosesque store in every neighborhood where items can be manufactured on demand via printers. its also raised concerns among law enforcement professionals, who worry that criminals will be able to print untraceable guns and other weapons at home. The billion-dollar question is, how big will this become and when? said Terry Wohlers, president of consulting rm Wohlers Associates, which tracks the industry. You see companies already making fashion garments and jewelry through printing. And we have seen demonstrations of 3-D printing food and living tissue. Wohlers said that by 2021, the U.S. market is estimated to hit $10.8 billion, up from $2.2 billion last year and $$1.18 billion in 2008. The industry has been growing, on average, more than 25 percent a year for the past decade. The consumer side, which is in its nascent stages, is especially ripe for growth, Wohlers said. Tech companies are already salivating at the opportunities.

in June, 3-D veteran Stratasys Ltd., which for decades has made ultra-pricey printers for companies such as Boeing Co. and General Motors Co., announced plans to buy MakerBot, which specializes in affordable desktop printers. Rival 3D Systems inc. launched two consumer-oriented models this year, the Cube ($1,299) and the CubeX ($2,499 and up). Small-business owners have already taken to the printers. John Hariot of Los Angeles, for one, is using a printer bought from Deezmaker to create prototypes, such as knobs for drawers, for his new cabinet-making company. He said the 3-D printer is a much cheaper option compared with the pricey rapid-prototyping machines he once had to use. its much easier to work with, and theres less waste, he said. For consumers who arent tinkerers or designers, industry experts say, a potentially bigger market could lie in on-demand services. Think of it as Amazon.com for custom orders, only with no warehouses required because a purse or belt is only made after its ordered. Shoppers can already go on sites such as Shapeways or Cubify, run by 3D Systems, and either nd a designer for a custom design or tweak an available product. See 3-D| 2D

Coach: Human resources must balance claims of workers,bosses

Q: Shortly after joining this company, I became aware of numerous issues related to discrimination and harassment. As a human resources professional, I felt obligated to make management aware of these problems, so I reported them to my boss, who is the director of HR, and to several department heads. Although my superiors were willing to investigate some situations, they seemed reluctant to address any concerns that might involve executives. I was encouraged to overlook these matters and was advised that pursuing them could damage peoples careers. Because I believe it is my duty to report violations of state and federal law, I went around my management chain and contacted our ethics department. Since no one else was willing to le a grievance about these issues, I reported them myself. Now I have received a very negative performance review. What should I do? A: Based on your description, there are two possible interpretations of this situation. The rst is that you have joined a company where questionable behaviors are tolerated and perhaps even practiced by senior management. As a result, you have learned the hard way that the values of top executives always inuence employee-related decisions. For that reason, a key component of job satisfaction for HR professionals is compatibility between their own values and those of the people above them. So if you are experiencing an ethical mismatch, the ultimate solution is to nd an employer whose standards are similar to your own. On the other hand, an alternative scenario is that you are crusading against problems which may not actually exist. While some legal issues are clear-cut, many others are a matter of perception, so you need to be sure that personal biases are not clouding your professional judgment. The very best HR people serve as both management representatives and employee advocates. But when either role has an exclusive focus, problems inevitably result. So if you consistently nd yourself on the employee side of every issue, you may need to examine your own motivations. Q: Our new secretary, Jackie, is driving me crazy. Although I initially trained her, I am not Jackies supervisor. Nevertheless, she constantly interrupts me with questions and asks me to proofread her documents. This has been going on for several months. Frankly, Im beginning to wonder if Jackie can handle this job. She makes frequent errors and repeatedly asks the same questions. I often have to remind her about simple, routine tasks. Overseeing Jackies work is interfering with my own, so I would like to know how to end this. A: Helping a new colleague is commendable, but enabling incompetence is not. Because your well-meaning assistance is hiding Jackies ineptitude from her boss, its time to stop participating in this perfor-

mance cover-up. When Jackie comes with questions, suggest that she ask her supervisor. If she requests proofreading, politely explain that you are busy. And since remembering her duties is Jackies responsibility, not yours, stop providing those friendly reminders. Once she is operating independently, management should be able to determine whether Jackie is a keeper.

From page 1D More than 10,000 shops have been set up by designers on Shapeways, which manufactures and ships a product after an order comes in, said company spokeswoman Elisa Richardson. Bestselling items include iPhone accessories, jewelry, home decor and wedding cake toppers grooms and brides-tobe send in photos of themselves and receive toppers with their faces printed on them. Kimberly Orvitz, a fashion designer who recently launched a 3-D printed jewelry line, said the technology saves money: Theres no requirement to order products in bulk from a factory and no storage costs. Shoppers can also customize by selecting colors and materials, she said. (EDITORS: STORY CAN END HERE) But the technology has not been without controversy.

design earlier this year (he also uses the technology to make rearm magazines and lower receivers). For now, such guns may pose more of a danger to the maker. Australian police who tried making Wilsons design reported the plastic gun exploded after ring. Still, a recently leaked

Department of Homeland Security bulletin said such rearms pose public safety risks. Industry experts say there is more danger in consumers making ordinary products that are defective. The gun thing has been way overhyped because if you really want to make

a gun, there are better and cheaper ways to do it, Wohlers said. But just think about people printing a brake part for their car, and it breaks going down the highway and people are injured or worse. For now, the relatively untapped market has allowed not just big corporations but also entrepreneurs to jump in. Porqueras, the owner of the Pasadena store, was a Hollywood camera technician before becoming fascinated with 3-D printing. Always a tinkerer, he created his own ideal 3-D printer, started a campaign on the fundraising site Kickstarter, and raised $167,000 enough to quit his job and start selling his machine full time. He recently launched another campaign to raise funds for the Bukito, his portable 3-D printer priced at $650. It just blew my mind what these printers can do, Porqueras said. Who knows what the future will hold?

ChannelNet has 100 employees, the bulk in Dearborn, and plans to hire six people in the next few months and at least another 12 within the next year. The company offers Web-based connections to retain customers and build business, which includes a platform for managing the auto lease turn-in process online. Clients include BMW Financial Services and Audi Financial Services. Tompkins founded the privately held company more than 25 years ago in California and opened a Dearborn ofce in 1996 to be near auto clients. The headquarters was moved to Michigan in 2001. She favors the Michigan workforce, noting that pay packages are 30 percent higher in California. The economy is improving, she said. But companies also realize that its essential to have a brand website thats customerfriendly. The companys patented software enables consumers to research a purchase, view sales incen-

tives and complete a transaction at a store, through a call center or on their mobile device. Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moodys Analytics, predicted that small-business hiring should grow slowly, but steadily pick up in the next year or so. Credit is owing a bit more freely to small business owners, he said, allowing them to expand operations. Many small businesses are tied into the housing market, he said, so as housing revives, so to should hiring. Think real estate agents, mortgage companies, landscapers, garden supply retailers and hardware stores, law rms, accountants, home improvement, plumbers and electricians, moving companies and trucking jobs. It wont be a straight line government cuts and tax increases are hurting but prospects are better over the next several years, Zandi said. Job hunters wont necessarily nd a straight line to

a paycheck, either. The key elements are training and talent. Ronia Kruse, president and CEO of OpTech in Troy, said her rm could hire more than 115 people by the end of the year. Thats up from 200 employees now. The company, which provides information technology and engineering staffing, is looking at expanding into ofce space in downtown Detroit, as well. But Kruse says the challenge in hiring will be nding the right people with degrees in math, computer science, engineering and the like. She needs experienced program managers, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers. Everybody is hiring the talent to deliver the projects, Kruse said. Many companies had put projects on hold during the recession, she said, and now need to move forward.

Thieves
From page 1D By that point the company had said the problem had been found and contained. Customers, however, still continued seeing fraudulent charges on their accounts because the information was stolen and sold long before the company, or anyone else, realized the hack had occurred. Schnuck has declined, repeatedly, to answer detailed questions about the breach, saying it does not want to provide a road map to cyber criminals. It will not share the Mandiant report. The company has said, however, the information was lifted from the companys processing environment as the cards were awaiting approval, and that the criminals accessed the data by inserting malware into the companys system. Cyber-crime experts interviewed by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said that, given that information and given what they know from cyber-sleuth circles the data were lifted just after cards were swiped at the point of sale. Several said the likely culprit was a Romanian cyber gang. The Schnucks breach was the result of random access memory malware, explained Al Pascual, a senior analyst of security risk and fraud at Javelin Strategy & Research, a California company that advises the payment industry. That means theres malicious software at the point of sale. After a card is swiped, the data goes into the register, then it goes to random access memory on the computer itself, and this malware pulls it right off the memory before its transmitted somewhere else. Industry rules state that merchants are not allowed to store card data. But, in this case, it appears the information was taken as it was moving through the system. Because it wasnt encrypted and is not required to be at that point, Pascual said the thieves had complete access. The only solution is to encrypt the information as it travels, which is more costly and difcult. Typically, after information is stolen, it gets sold in batches on the Internet. The thieves send the data to an IP address Internet Protocol address where other thieves can buy the information. This used to happen on whats known as the dark Web, beyond the reach of online search engines, but now, experts said, a prospective buyer can nd stolen data fairly easily. It used to be you had to know where to go, Pascual said. But its made its way into the mainstream. Now you can actually Google the information, and youll nd forums. There are even groups on Facebook. After buyers get their hands on the information, they often encode it into cards, often blank cards known as white plastics in the industry or on gift cards that they recode with the stolen information. The data also can be used to buy merchandise online in card not present transactions. By the time these cards make their way down the food chain from the hackers, through the syndicates that sell the data, to the low-level mule or buyer on the street the IP address where the information was sent has long gone Our FBI and Secret Service have no power over anything, and these Eastern European governments arent going to cooperate with anyone, McKee said. But Kristina Schmidt of the St. Louis Secret Service ofce said the agency, along with the FBI, is still working on the case. You can try to work through diplomatic routes, she said. You can certainly present a prosecution in the U.S. against people who dont live here. But whether you can get those people arrested depends on diplomatic relations with those countries. Many of these countries are partners, Schmidt added. Theyre interested in tracking this down as well. Indeed, investigators can point to some major successes. In 2008, the FBI made 56 arrests after a two-year undercover investigation revealed a massive global cyber-criminal ring had stolen nancial and credit card data. A federal grand jury in New Jersey, in 2009, also indicted three people in connection with a massive hack of Heartland Payment Systems, a New Jersey-based card processing company, in which hackers were accused of stealing more than 130 million payment card numbers the largest case prosecuted to date. Under agreements with the credit card companies, card-issuing banks are required to reimburse card holders for fraudulent charges. But even though card holders are made whole, the banks and merchants say, that doesnt make credit-card hacking a victimless crime. The issuing bank has to pay the consumer, but then they go to the merchants bank to recoup the money, and that bank often goes to the merchant itself, asking for compensation. Sometimes the banks sue the merchant, saying theyre not doing enough to protect consumers card data. Banks are blaming the retailers, Pascual said. Retailers and banks typically have contentious relationships anyway, so theyre more likely to go after the retailer as a result.

dark, and the criminals have essentially vanished. They bounce information from different IP addresses, and then they burn them they dont use them again, explained Jim McKee of Red Sky Alliance, a network of cyber-security experts based in St. Louis. So you have a dead end. The hackers sold all the credit card numbers, theyve made their money, and theyve moved on. At the local level, police departments dont have the time or resources to devote to tracking down cyber-

crime at the street level. They cant chase down every surveillance photo in a drugstore of someone buying a stored-value card, McKee said. Theyre never going to nd that guy. The Maryland Heights Police Department, for one, is calling the Schnuck matter a cold case. At the federal level, investigative efforts could be frustrated by distance. Even if investigators can trace a breach back to a particular person or gang, diplomatic relations often stand in the way.

REMODELING PAYOFF? The housing market recovery is spurring consumers to spend more on home remodeling projects. Its a trend thats expected to continue into next year, according to a new report by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University. The report, known as the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity, calls for that trend to continue, but possibly at a more measured pace if interest rates rise. Even so, the outlook bodes well for home improvement supply retailers such as Lowes (LOW), Home Depot (HD) and Sherwin-Williams (SHW).

APPLE REBOUND Apple stock has been bruised over the last year, falling nearly 25 percent. But it has enjoyed an uptick since early July. The stock is up 11 percent over the last month. Even so, theres been mixed news from the company in recent weeks. Apples latest quarterly report showed $480 AAPL earnings fell for the Aug. 2 second straight quarter $462.54 after a decade of uninterrupted increases. Investors also shrugged off a ruling by a federal 430 judge in early July that found the company conspired with June 27 publishers to fix $393.78 electronic book prices. Apple plans to appeal 380 the decision. M J J A

STILL STASHING The latest study of retirement-plan savers by the Investment Company Institute shows a continued commitment to saving. The study covered the first quarter of this year, and found that only 1 percent of defined contribution plan participants which includes 401(k) plans stopped contributing to their programs. Similarly withdrawals from their retirement savings remained low at 1.3 percent of plan participants. The stock market rose sharply in the first quarter, but most plan participants didnt change their asset allocations. Only 4.8 percent changed the distribution of money within their plan, presumably most are comfortable with their current exposure to the stock market.

Theres very little fat in corporate America. Companies cut jobs and other expenses to help fuel earnings growth in a slowing economy. But to really grow profits, theyll need to sell more. During earnings season, investors should keep an eye on corporate revenue growth. Although the stock market is rallying on strong earnings reports, revenue growth for companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index is expected to decline by 0.4 percent in the second quarter, compared with a year ago. As earnings season has progressed, the expected decline in second-quarter revenue growth has diminished. Even so, when all results are in, the final growth rate is likely to be below the 1.1 percent growth posted in the first quarter of this year.

Average rates on fixed mortgages ticked up this past week but remained low by historical standards. The average on the 30-year loan rose to 4.39 percent from 4.31 percent the week prior. Rates are a full percentage point higher than in early May. Rates had spiked in June after the Federal Reserve indicated it could slow its bond purchases later this year.

Michael Niemira is in charge of research for the International Council of Shopping Centers, a trade association for malls and other retail centers. He has been tracking retail performance since the mid-1980s, when he worked as an economist at Paine Webber. This year, ICSC expects back-to-school spending to increase 3.1 percent to $42.2 billion, the slowest rate of growth since the recession derailed shopping in 2009. You project that spending growth will be slower this year. Whats going on? Our survey suggests that youll see a compositional change away from electronics, which could be higher value stuff. Its a lower overall spend because its away from the big-ticket items phones, computers, laptops, that kind of thing. Expected spend is larger for apparel. Maybe all the school kids already have their iPods and iPads and all that. They seem to be less interested in that purchase this year. Those products have been around and they probably already have the market share. Thats an end of the business thats very much driven by innovation, and tablets and iPhones have been out for a while. Our survey suggested that discounters would be the big winner this year. Weve gone through a softer spot in the economy, which could get people thinking about basics as opposed to fashion. Thats what you can get at discounters. How will this years back-toschool shopping season stack up historically? Historically its not bad. Its a decent performance, just weaker than the last couple of years. Is there a big difference in spending patterns based on income? This year, the high-income consumer is expected to spend 35 percent more than the average consumer. Thats a significant difference based on past years: Our survey would suggest a greater share coming from the high-income household this year. The paradox is, those dollars dont seem to be going to specialty stores as much as theyre going to discounters. People are focusing on the basics and not necessarily on fashion. At the end of the day, the reason people are buying the goods they say they are is to replace the outfits their kids outgrew they dont need to have the high-end stuff. How much of a signal will the back-to-school be for consumer spending during the holiday shopping season? A lot of the industry does look to back-to-school as a bellwether for the holidays. My view has always been, it can be, but is not always. The times that it can be, the economic conditions have to remain steady between the back-to-school period and the holidays. That may be the case this year, or, in fact, they may get better. Interviewed by Tali Arbel. Answers edited for content and clarity.

The taxman may be coming for some companies. One way that big companies can keep their tax bills lower is to shift their profits to countries with lower tax rates. And regulators have noticed. Tax avoidance, harmful practices and aggressive tax planning have to be tackled, finance ministers and central bank governors Stock of the Group of 20 said after a meeting in July. The Screener Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development earlier in the month unveiled a plan to make it more difficult for multinational companies to pay lower tax rates. The top rate for corporate taxes in the U.S. is 35 percent. Its 39 percent when combined with average state and local corporate taxes. President Barack Obama last week suggested lowering the top federal rate to 28 percent, but he also wants to cut deductions that pull down effective tax rates for businesses. This screen from Goldman Sachs shows companies that could be hurt if companies end up having to pay higher tax rates. Each of these companies has had a median effective tax rate of less than 15 percent over the last decade.

Where can I find the earnings reports that companies file with the Securities and Exchange Commission? H.W., Binghamton, N.Y. Many financial websites offer access to these filings in their stock data offerings. For example, enter a ticker symbol at caps.fool.com and then click on the SEC Filings tab. You can also go right to the SEC itself, at sec.gov click on Filings. Its smart to look up annual 10-K and quarterly 10-Q reports, as they can tell you a lot about a company. *** Some stocks Ive held for a short period soared, nearly tripling, but then fell back, giving me just a doubling. Should I have sold when I had a significant gain and re-bought when the price dropped? Or just waited, hoping to gain in the long run? E.C., Shenandoah, Iowa Well, if you ever know for sure that a stock has peaked and will fall, then definitely sell. The only problem is that we never know exactly what a stock is going to do in the short run. And its hard to be exact about the long run, too. Think about it this way: When you buy a stock, you should have an idea of the degree to which its undervalued. Ideally, youll have an estimate in mind of its intrinsic value. If the stock surges well beyond that, then sell, because its more likely to fall than rise from that point. If a stock keeps rising within reason and the company remains healthy and growing, then over time its intrinsic value can rise, too. Consider just hanging on for the long term. You can use measures such as P/E (price-to-earnings) ratios as rough guides to value, buying low and selling high.

Commission Costs Cost

Many of us should pay more attention to commission costs when buying and selling stocks, and some of us should pay less attention. Those who trade only a few times a year can pay relatively little attention to commission costs. Everyone else should aim to not pay too high a percentage of an investment for the commission. For example, imagine that you invest $150 in shares of Bright Idea Light Bulb Co. (ticker: UREKA), and you pay a $20 commission. Divide $20 by $150 and youll get 0.13, or 13 percent. That means youve invested $150, but at the same time you forfeited 13 percent of that value in commissions. If the shares rose 13 percent in the first year, youd barely break even, instead of realizing a significant gain. Its worse if youre more of a speculator than an investor, buying and selling frequently. In that case, you might invest the $150, pay $20, and then pay $20 again soon

after, when you sell the shares. Youd have forked over $40 on a $150 investment! Aim to keep your commission costs at 2 percent or less per trade, if possible. If your brokerage charges $20, then try to invest at least $1,000 each time you buy stock. (Multiply the commission by 50 to see what its 2 percent of.) If your brokerage charges $8, your minimum would be $400. You can always save up money until you have enough. If youre like many people, though, the idea of waiting until youve gathered $1,000 is discouraging. Fear not you have options. For starters, you can switch to a less pricey brokerage. Some charge just $5 or less. Learn more at broker.fool.com and sec.gov/answers/openaccount.htm. Remember to evaluate factors other than commission costs, too, such as fees, services, accessibility and customer service. You can also invest small sums regularly through direct investing plans (Drips), which let you buy stock directly through companies, bypassing brokerages altogether. Many major companies offer Drips.

Corrections and Recoveries

Back in 1994, I was growing impatient, waiting for the go-ahead to invest from the financial experts I followed in the media. The experts claimed the market was excessively overvalued and had to break soon with a correction. The Dow was in the 3,700 range. Late that year I said the heck with it and transferred everything in my retirement account at work into stocks. As you know, I did quite well after that. Best of all, I could lose it all tomorrow and it wouldnt change my lifestyle one iota. Bill R., Long Branch, N.J. The Fool Responds: Be wary of experts predictions. The market has been whacked by several corrections since 1994, but it has kept recovering and growing. The Dow hit 11,000 in 1999, and then dropped near 7,000 in 2002. It then hit 14,000 in 2007 and then touched 6,500 in 2009. It has recently been above 15,000. Clearly, stocks can be volatile, which is why they should be off-limits for short-term money. But if you have many years in which your money can grow and can tolerate some risk, consider stocks. Do you have an embarrassing lesson learned the hard way?

Disney (NYSE: DIS) stock has surged more than 30 percent over the past year and has averaged annual growth of about 15 percent over the past 30 years. With its stock near an all-time high and the company sporting a market value above $110 billion, is it too late to join the party? Probably not. Naysayers may point to the companys box-office flop in The Lone Ranger, but thats more than offset by the success of Iron Man 3 and Pixars Monsters University and Disney stands to make a lot more money from its newly acquired Star Wars and Marvel assets. Disney is a powerhouse on the small screen, too, with ESPN, and its getting into console gaming with its new Disney Infinity offering. Meanwhile, parks and resorts are Disneys second-biggest business and its fastest-growing segment. Attendance has been growing faster at international parks than domestic ones, and developing economies hold a lot of potential park visitors. Disney has regularly hiked its park prices, enjoying strong brand power. Through its blockbuster pictures, expanding presence in the video game industry and dominance in parks and resorts, Disney is likely to keep prospering in the near, and far, future. Its hard to argue that Disney stock is cheap with a P/E ratio near 20, but sometimes you have to pay up for a great company.

Flawed FBI background checks hurt job prospects,report says

report released Tuesday. The use of FBI records has increased sixfold since Sept. 11, 2001, and the federal agency has acknowledged that thousands of records are incomplete. The National Employment Law Project, an advocacy group for low-wage workers, said the faulty records threaten job prospects for about 1.8 million workers each year. About 600,000 of those workers records have positives case outcomes that are not reected. Other records show an applicant was later

In scal year 2012, employers requested nearly 17 million FBI criminal background checks for prospective workers. But hundreds of thousands of records per year are inaccurate, according to a

FBIs records, said Madeline Neighly, a staff attorney with for the group and the reports lead author. Employers assume FBI background checks are the gold standard, but the records are unreliable. According to the report,

half of the FBIs records show initial arrest records but do not have nal outcomes. In some cases, charges are dropped but the records dont reect that. The report points to a 2006 Bureau of Justice Statistics study that found that one-third of felony arrests

In her report, Neighly said the incomplete records disproportionately affect Latino and black job applicants. According to the report, African-Americans are up to three times as likely as whites to be arrested for minor offenses such as disorderly conduct, vagrancy and curfew violations. Neighly recommends that states, who are responsible for reporting data to the FBI, do a better job of updating records. The report, however, says the FBI is ultimately responsible for ensuring its records are accurate.

Jonathan Knight doesnt blame government cutbacks for forcing him to stand near a freeway ramp holding a Please Take a Resume sign. The young man aiming for a career as a legislative analyst realizes its the tight economy that is making it difficult for recent college graduates to launch their careers. So Knight, who once interned with a U.S. senator in Washington, D.C., puts on a shirt and tie, grabs a sign that lists his qualifications and stands on street corners hoping passing motorists will slow down and grab one of his resumes. The 25-year-old graduated in the spring from California Lutheran University with a masters degree in public policy and public administration. Since then he has applied to nearly every city in the Southern California region for an entry-level job that might lead to a life as a government analyst. Knight calculates he has passed out 300 resumes in the past four months, both to prospective employers and random motorists. I havent heard anything back from anybody, he acknowledged. Its definitely taken its toll on my confidence about becoming a successful member of society. The job search has been frustrating and, at this point, Knight said hed be happy to find a smaller job, perhaps at a retail outlet. Knight grew up in Yorba Linda, Calif., and received a degree in political science from the University of Wyoming. It was during his senior year in 2011 that he wrangled a fivemonth internship at the Washington, D.C., office of Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. It was really fascinating and high-pressure. It was the most eye-opening experience Ive had in my life, he said. As Barrassos intern, he assisted with public and media relations and helped update the sena-

tors website with pictures. He also met about 25 other senators. It opened my eyes to more of the real way that the world works, Knight said. Barrasso took to the Senate floor toward the end of Knights tour of duty to praise his interns strong work ethic that has made him an invaluable asset to our office. I know he will have continued success with all of his future endeavors. I wish him all my best on his next journey, Barrasso told his colleagues. Jonathan was a hardworking intern and was always eager to help out, agreed Emily Lawrimore,

cations, said Sarah Kleinberg, training and outreach coordinator with the office. Its a pretty competitive process because the economy is still recovering and some positions have been eliminated because of the recession, she said. Its not necessarily easy. These days, Knight is staying with his sister and brother in Orange County, Calif. His retired parents live in Wyoming. So far, hes focused on distributing his resumes to passers-by on Los Angeles Wilshire Boulevard and those leaving the 110 Freeway at South Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena, Calif.

The Pasadena spot is much more promising for resume distribution, he said. On Wilshire, most people didnt want to stop. They were in a hurry. Of course, the Westwood Federal Building is nearby, a place jammed with government employees. And a job in Washington, D.C., is his ultimate goal, Knight admitted. As a fallback, perhaps he can find an entry-level position on the fringes of government in the Capitol. D.C. is an expensive place, but its worth it, he said. I dont plan on living too large right now. Im only 25.

Based on laboratory wear simulation testing, the LEGION Primary Knee System with VERILAST Technology is expected to provide wear performance sufficient for 30 years of actual use under typical conditions. The results of laboratory wear simulation testing have not been proven to predict actual wear and performance in people. A reduction in total polyethylene wear volume or wear rate alone may not result in an improved clinical outcome as wear particle size and form are also important factors in the study of the potential for wear caused by loss of calcium from bone and implant loosening. These other factors were not studied as part of the testing. There are potential risks with knee replacement surgery such as loosening, fracture, dislocation, wear and infection that may result in the need for additional surgery. Do not perform high impact activities such as running and jumping unless your surgeon tells you the bone has healed and these activities are acceptable. Early device failure, breakage or loosening may occur if you do not follow your surgeons limitations on activity level. Early failure can happen if you do not guard your knee joint from overloading due to activity level, failure to control body weight or accidents such as falls. Knee replacement surgery is intended to relieve knee pain and improve knee functions. Talk to your doctor to determine what treatment may be best for you.

Road trips to sacred, somber places

Roosevelt birthplace which is not his birthplace at all. The original brownstone was razed but his ardent supporters rebuilt a facsimile on the same spot and it is a marvel to tour. Despite all my time and visits to New York there are many places Ive yet to see and this was one. We continued on, wandering through the morning and the neighborhoods, walking and weaving past the fences of Grammercy Park, the throngs on Union Square, past a spruced up Washington Square and a Bleecker Street fair. Noho, Soho, Tribeca and south until we till we arrived at the World Trade Center site. We walked to one place to get tickets, another place to get in line. We walked through security that had more scrutiny than an airport and then snaked through makeshift corridors along the street until we popped out into an expansive courtyard and the 9/11 Memorial. I gasped. People were gathered around the footprints of the two towers, now two open squareshaped pools, each with waterfalls dropping 30 feet into a center pool and then dropping into another dark void in the center. The names of the victims are inscribed in a simple bronze parapet that rims each pool. As we stood at each name - so many names - water owed away and out of site, at once evoking falling and eternity. It was beautiful and sad and worth the effort. We took our time and circled each pool, looking for familiar names, pausing for people we knew, names familiar from new coverage through the years and names that just stood out. Names, for example, of pregnant passengers and their unborn children. It was sobering, evermore. Then a week later, again by chance, my wife and I were driving toward home from a visit in western Pennsylvania. At a crossroads we took a route wed never taken before. A road sign indicated the Flight 93 Memorial and we said, why not, so we took another new road. The approach to the site is rural, expansive reclaimed coal eld, now a green and rolling pasture with open horizons. It couldnt be more different from congested lower Manhattan. As clearly as the 9/11 Memorial drew my thoughts into that eternal waterfall, the Flight 93 Memorial drew my attention to a wall of 40 names - crew and passengers of the aircraft. The wall describes the path of the descending airliner, from the west, toward the impact site near a cluster of hemlocks. A gate is at the wall closest to the impact site: Visitors can see through the gate to the site but they cant pass. Only family members of the victims and park rangers have access. Within a week we visited both the 9/11 Memorial and Flight 93 National Memorial really by chance. New York as an open book; Somerset County as a detour. Each of these signicant memorials are relatively close to Northeastern Pennsylvania and both are worth visiting. We take a lot for granted. By chance Im grateful to be reminded about the lessons of our recent history.

COMMENTARY: MiTCH ALBOM

You know its over when he films it

The idea was simple. Hide a camera. Film someone in an embarrassing situation. At the end, have a nice guy come out and say, Smile! and tell the victim it was a setup. They called it Candid Camera, and it was so successful as a TV show that it ran, in some form, for more Mitch than half a century. Albom Its off the air now. Instead, we have Contributing YouTube, where any- Columnist body can create their own Candid Camera moment. Last week, a video surfaced and instantly went viral; it had people wondering just how close the person secretly lming you might be. Maybe no further than your wedding vows. The video was taken by a married Tennessee man named Jim Mongiat, who lmed his wife, Whitney, throwing a temper tantrum in the car. The impetus for the tantrum was Jims refusal to take Whitney to the lake on a hot Saturday. She kicks and screams literally slamming her feet against the dashboard and yelling that she needs cigarettes, that she never gets her way and, multiple times, that she wants to go to the LAAAAAAKE! It is not attering. Its a training lm for staying single. It is hard to listen to, hard to watch. And hard to fathom. Because it was put up by the man who just 14 months ago told this woman, I do. You wonder if for better or worse was part of the ceremony. Now, I dont know much about the Mongiats, other than their blitz of recent news media reports, in which she claimed he tricked her and he claimed he had no regrets because the whole world could see what he had to put up with. But I do know something about being married. And anyone who is in that club can tell you there are many moments where you are glad there is no camera around. Every couple can look childish, temperamental, mean, loud or obnoxious if you catch them at the wrong time. It is the reason we used to have this thing called privacy. Look it up, kids. Its in the section with VCR and manners. Today, there is no such thing as privacy. Cell phones, video surveillance, even ying toy planes with loaded cameras ensure that you never know when you are being lmed. But being alone in the car with your spouse used to be a moment you could trust. Not anymore. Mr. Wait-Till-MyFriends-See-This has ruined that one. You wonder how he managed to capture his wifes meltdown while driving. They have laws against phone calls or texting behind the wheel. I guess we need a no-lming law as well. Whats truly sad about this is that our culture now leads people to treat a million strange eyeballs as judge and jury. People post videos of themselves performing to gauge reaction even though the people watching mostly laugh and deride. They post unattering videos of celebrities in hopes the public beast will roar. They post impassioned diatribes on this or that, in hopes of swaying people they will never meet. In such a world, all you once held dear is potential fodder. So marriage may no longer be between two people; its between two people and the millions who can watch and judge it. What did Jim Mongiat hope to accomplish? He had to know this would likely end badly (the latest report is that they are divorcing). Was that what he wanted all along? If so, have the decency to face your spouse and ask for it. Dont go to the town square and unpack her dirty laundry especially when youre not revealing your own. You wonder what went so wrong so fast in this marriage that one party enjoyed total humiliation of the other. Or maybe this guy doesnt see it as humiliation. Maybe he sees life as something we lead for the entertainment and judgment of others. Which is even sadder. The lesson: Be careful with your temper. And be careful where you allow yourself to be human because you never know who might be lming, including the person on the pillow next to you. In Candid Camera, theycame from behind a wall, a nice guy said, Smile! and would presumably ask you to sign a release. But Candid Camera is gone. And when it comes to using the world as a stage, there is little smiling and a real shortage of nice guys.

YOUR OpiNiON: LETTERS FROM REAdERS

Replace the GOP with Americans

I am working on a new book that I plan to title, Kill the Republican Party. I would love to get a great spokesman of conservatism such as Rush Limbaugh or Michele Malkin or Laura Ingraham to co-author it but so far they are always too busy with their shows and premium subscribers to respond to my many inquiries. Maybe eventually, they will hear my entreaties and help the American cause. The book will be about how the Republicans have chosen to abandon conservative Americans so they can become the ME-TOO Democrat Party and possibly trick some otherwise fine conservatives into thinking that conservatives have a bad message for the country. We dont! Unfortunately, Republicans do not believe they need conservatives any more in their Party. They know we do not agree with them while they choose to lean towards the same progressive agenda as our must untrusted liberal friends. Yet they think we do not matter. We matter more than anybody thinks! Dont you think that we Libertarians and Republican conservatives and even folks like me, who are bona fide conservative Democrats should be able to join together to form something to replace the anachronistic Republican Party. It should be the American Party since the Republicans and the Democrats have chosen to unite to become fully self-serving in their treatment of the American public. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans in Congress care about regular Americans one iota. Democrat and Republican lawmakers are simply corrupt. They both choose to trick

Americans into thinking they are on our side. They are not on our side. Any questions? Democrats of yesterday (not their leadership) are now conservatives. Todays takers from the treasury are now Democrats. Todays conservatives that think they are Republicans are reminded every day that the real Republicans do not want conservative Americans in their ranks. Years ago I dened a Republican as somebody with over $50 million in the bank. Maybe it is more. I think if the conservatives without $50 million in the bank left the Republican Party and formed the American Party, this would be a bullet that would kill the Republican Party, and the negative consequences of the Partys death is greatly exaggerated. Let them swallow their wealth. The American Party can become a party to embrace real Americans. Let the Republicans and Democrats swim in their own brine of corruption.

Learn facts regarding salt

For the past three years the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been promoting a trend to reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg a day, the amount in about one teaspoon of table salt. Many studies over the past years have suggested a link between salt consumption and diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. However, for almost the last two decades, a Scranton businessman and his wife have been trying to solicit a very different messagesea salt and water cures many diseases, and we should actually be

consuming more, not less, sodium. As one might expect, this man was far from upset when a new study prompted by the CDC and Institute of Medicine was released that mentioned the idea that too little salt in the diet could actually cause harm to the body. However, the recent Times Leader article published July 17 on page three, Salt study satisfies area mans hunger for vindication, not only misconstrues information published in the study, but also outright plagiarizes it (the entire sixth paragraph of the article). If one returns to the original study it states that, studies on health outcomes are inconsistent in quality and insufficient in quantity to conclude that lowering sodium intake levels below 2,300 mg/day either increases or decreases the risk of heart disease, stroke, or all-cause mortality in the general U.S. population, and, evidence indicates that low sodium intake may lead to risk of adverse health effects among those with mid-to late-stage heart failure who are receiving aggressive treatment for their disease. Therefore, this study still supports the idea that as a nation we should limit our salt to the daily recommended amount of 2,300 mg, but that there is simply not enough evidence to support restricting any lower than this amount. Keep in mind that, according to the CDC, the average US citizen consumes nearly 3,500 mg of sodium per day. Also, the study refers to the fact that only a very specific population, people with mid or late-stage heart failure, would face potential harm from limiting sodium intake below standard levels. The CDC and IOM further comment, changes in diet are more complex than simply changing a single mineral, and it is important

to remember that our body relies on the interaction of many minerals, especially potassium, for optimum health. Therefore, the registered dietitian nutritionists of the NEDA would like to remind everyone to focus on a healthy, balanced diet, containing potassium-rich fruits and vegetables. As a general population we can learn a lesson from what has been printed here in the Times Leader. It is not always wise to believe a fact just because it is written in a paper or announced in some other form of media. If we want to stay current on the latest health information, we must be responsible and go to the source and form an opinion of our own.

Defending Bible verse

I could not let go unchallenged the letter captioned its your soul thats on the line from Cindy Krzywicki, which denies among other things the Lordship of Christ and His part in the Divine Counsel (Trinity) As Christians we are not to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16) and we should be ready to defend and affirm it (Philippians 1:7). The best description of Jesus is found in the Old Testament in Isaiah 53, usually referred to as the suffering servant, and where much about Him is prophesied. All of this has come to pass. As I understand it, those things which disturb. Krzywicki that have not yet occurred

are yet to come. God has his own timetable. We cant know it perfectly, we can only experience it. Expectations are not contradictions, they may be misconstruances. By Krzywickis own words, Jesus doesnt measure up to what she expected, but He is for Christians our Solid Rock on whch we stand, all other ground is shifting sand. He is our salvation. Trinitarian doctrine, while not directly stated in the Bible, is evidenced throoughout the Word of God if one is willing to do the necessary research. That said, it is still a Holy Mystery, one God in three Persons. Zeal without knowledge or research is dangerous. Rather than being a description of Jesus as Krzywicki falsely concludes, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 is describing false apostles of Christ and Satan. It states for such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquereading as apostles of Christ, and no wonder, Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising then, that if Satans servants masquerade as servants of righeousness, their end will be what thir actions deserve. In Isaiah 42:6 and 49:6, a light unto the Gentiles is mentioned for their ultimate salvation. Jesus is, for Christians, the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant. John 3:16-17 declares for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through Him.

YOUR OPINION: LETTERS FROM READERS

Following a four year investigation, Rick Boice, a 30+ year employee of the sewer authority at Harveys Lake was criminally charged for having purchased a motorcycle battery and a quart of oil and not paying for it until the over-sight was brought to his attention. Nice police work! While I question the taxpayer resources spent on this witch hunt, it should finally put to bed the rumors that began at election time 4 years ago which cost Rick Boice the election. Hes on the ballot for Mayor in the November Election and I cannot help to wonder about the timing of this arrest!

Micro lender in 35th year

MetroAction, the small business development affiliate of The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce and northeastern Pennsylvanias leading micro lender, is pleased to announce to the community that our 2012-2013 annual report is now avail-

able at: http://www. metroaction.org/docs/ MetroactionAnnRep 2013Web.pdf. The report features borrowers who pursued their passions and created thriving businesses in our community all with the help of MetroActions financing and training programs. The report also details the loan programs available through MetroAction including the Luzerne County Flood Recovery Loan Program which transitioned this year into the Luzerne County Small Business Loan Program; the Small Business Loan Program; and the Main Street Scranton Faade Program. MetroAction also surpassed a $5 million lending milestone, a testament to our commitment to supporting the growth and success of small businesses throughout the nine counties we serve. Throughout this past year, our staff members spent more than 1,000 hours counseling our borrowers during oneon-one sessions and group training. We are also focused on recognizing the accomplishments of those making a positive business impact in our communities. Each year, in conjunction with The Greater Scranton

Chamber of Commerce, MetroAction hosts The Chamber Gala the areas premiere event that celebrates outstanding local businesses in northeastern Pennsylvania. For the past 35 years, MetroAction has distributed more than $5 million throughout every region in our service area. The organization continues to grow and adapt to meet the needs of businesses throughout our region. MetroAction remains committed to spearheading forwardthinking programs aimed at providing the type of support needed by small businesses to help create a thriving community.

7 years behind schedule and 70 percent over budget, but the program somehow limps on. That would be wrong even if the airplane worked, but F-35 is also a performance disaster, less maneuverable than our current jets and subject to repeated groundings and re-designs. At a $133 million per plane, Senator McCain calls it both a scandal and a tragedy. The federal budget tells us a lot about our national priorities. We will truly honor our veterans when we fully fund the programs and services they need and deserve.

Better choice Military cuts for U.S. Rep. Yah! Dr. David Moylan, wrong costs a Schuylkill county coroAs your recent article noted, cutbacks to the Pentagons top staff will not forestall the worst effects of budget sequestration (Hagel: Top military brass to be cut 20 percent, July 16), which is already having a devastating effect on programs that our veterans depend on. Military medical clinics have furloughed staff. Programs to house homeless vets have been slashed. And programs to help train vets for new civilian jobs have been curtailed. Forcing Pentagon brass to share the pain of these cuts is a good start, but we should also be eliminating absurdly expensive weapons programs that are failing to deliver. The new F-35 stealth fighter, for example, is

ner who is pro-life will challenge not so proLife Matt Cartwright in the 17th Congressional District. Cartwright who claims to be a devout Catholic supports gay marriage and the killing of the unborn after 20 weeks when scientists agree pre-born children can feel pain. Cartwright voted No on the recently passed Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act which would end abortion after 20 weeks when the pre-born child reacts to stimuli that would be recognized as painful if applied to an adult human. Thank God Dr. Moylan has the wisdom to know pre-born babies deserve to be protected in the womb.

I respectfully ask Darla Carey of South Wilkes Barre to speak to and get to know her new neighbors. The article Crime fears spark W-B woman to speak out begins and ends with Ms. Carey speaking of the strangers walking by her home. These are not strangers, they are your neighbors. New neighbors. Different than you and what you are used to. But neighbors none the less. Get to know them. Dont let them be strangers. Say hello. To have a good neighbor you must be a good neighbor. When you find out that many of these people have the same fear of crime you have then maybe getting to know one another and establishing relationships and maybe even

Neighbor, not stranger

friendships, youll have a safe secure neighborhood free of crime because you are All watching out for each other. Your neighbors are your friends.

Court skips will of voters

The United States of America is the only country in the world that has existed over 200 years as a democracy, and the reason being our founding fathers drew up a Constitution by which our country has been governed. I dont know how much longer this will be, because it seems that our elected officials and our Supreme Court are making end runs around the Constitution. Their ideology is the leading factor, instead of interpretation of the

Constitution as it was written. The one thing that really confuses me is the Supreme Court overruled the vote of the people of California on the samesex marriage issue. I suppose they found a loophole in that case, what else is new? I sure hope that somebody wakes up to the fact that we are heading down the same path as the Roman Empire and something has to be done and when people go to the polls on election day, vote for the person who will bring our country back to the people. As President Lincoln said, The government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.
