WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County judge on Thurs-
day issued an arrest warrant
for an 80-year-old woman
charged with poisoning her
sons girl-
friend after
she failed to
appear for a
court hear-
ing.
After He-
len Galli and
her attorney
could not be
located at the courthouse,
Judge Fred Pierantoni issued
the arrest warrant.
Galli, of East Seventh Street,
Wyoming, was charged in
March 2010 after police said
she laced juice with antifreeze
that was consumed by Dawn
Simyan, then 41.
Investigators allege Simyan
suffered ethylene glycol poi-
soning that led to acute kidney
failure andwas hospitalizedfor
several days. Prosecutors al-
lege Galli poisoned the woman
becauseshedidnot want her to
come betweenher andher son,
Victor.
Galli was scheduled to ap-
pear for a pre-trial hearing in
her case Thursday. Her attor-
ney, Joseph Sklarosky Sr. also
was not present.
Sklarosky did not return a
message seeking comment
Thursday.
Assistant District Attorney
Frank McCabe said Thursday
Galli must be brought to trial
on charges of aggravated as-
sault, simple assault and reck-
less endangerment by March 3
under the speedy trial rule.
Galli appeared before Pie-
rantoni on Jan. 30, court re-
cords indicate, in a retail theft
case she is facing. In that case
Galli signed a waiver of her
speedytrial right ona single re-
tail theft charge.

coaches or volunteers to have
contact with students without
clearances, were liable.

Board Solicitor Vito DeLuca

groundcheckprocedures, which
he presented at the meeting and

He said the newpolicy will ap-
ply to all coaches and sports pro-
gramvolunteers. It states coach-
es or volunteers who are not in

check requirements will not be
permittedcontactwithstudents.
The following clearances are
required by law: a state police
Criminal History Record, a De-
partment of PublicWelfareChild

WILKES-BARRE A county
senior judge on Wednesday dis-
missed several charges pending
against a man who police say
slashed several people with a
knife, ruling evidence did not
show one man was slashed by
him.
Jesse Geasey, 31, of Hanover
Township, was charged after the
May 6 incident on Coal and
North Meade streets where po-
lice said he slashed six people
during a fight.
Senior Judge Kenneth Brown
dismissed two counts of aggra-
vated assault and two counts of
simple assault against Geasey,
ruling in an opinion that evi-
dence did not show a victim,
Joshua Gyle, was slashed by
Geasey.
Brown said some of the evi-
dence was confusing and contra-
dictory, and that witnesses saw
Geasey fighting with specific
victims, but not Gyle.
There is some evidence that
the defendant possessed a knife
or box cutter weapon, but there
is also some testimony that oth-
ers may have had weapons,
Brown wrote.
Brown also noted some peo-
ple involved in the fight were
drinking or intoxicated at the
time, and Geasey had admitted
he possessed a weapon, stating
he cut them.
According to court papers,
Kathy Moore was going to drive
TamikaLewis tothestoreandin-
vited William Shotwell to go for
a ride. Lewis became angry, say-
ing she was not going to buy
beer for everybody hanging out.
Lewis went to the store to buy
beer. When she returned, she
told everyone to leave her prop-
erty.
Police said in the criminal
complaint that Lewis began ar-
guing with Jessika Shotwell and
threatened other people. During
the verbal exchange, Geasey al-
legedly pushed Shotwell, start-
ing a fight resulting in the stab-
bing and slashing of six people,
the criminal complaint says.
Moore and Jessika Shotwell
received lacerations on their
hands in the fight.
After reviewing testimony,
Brown said sufficient evidence
was presented in charges relat-
ing to William Shotwell, Juan
Hernandez and Carl Shotwell.
Brown said testimony shows
Geasey was fighting with some
people and not others and urged
prosecutors to carefully re-
view the case before bringing it
before a jury.
Geaseys attorney, Allyson
Kacmarski, made the request to
have some charges dismissed
against her client ina January fil-
ing.
Prosecutors failed to prove
their case against Geasey, Kac-
marski said. She said Gyle said
he does not know who cut him
andGeaseysays hedidnot cause
injuries to Gyle.
Geasey now faces six counts
of aggravated assault, six counts
of simple assault and one count
of reckless endangerment.
Some slashing charges tossed

slashing several people with a

on for his involvement in a marijuana
trafficking conspiracy and altering and
mutilating a residence that was the
subject of a federal forfeiture proceed-
ing.
Lewis previously admitted, accord-
ing to federal prosecutors, to participa-
ting in a drug conspiracy that obtained
more than 20 kilograms of marijuana
from suppliers in Texas and shipped
the marijuana to the Wilkes-Barre area,
where it was distributed between June
2009 and March 2011. Lewis agreed to
forfeit a residence located on North
Main Street in Wilkes-Barre purchased
with drug proceeds and ordered to
forfeit a second residence, on Reese
Street in Wilkes-Barre.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. A new in-
stitution is aiming to put students back
to work in a region marred by high un-
employment and chronic brain-drain.
The McCann School of Business and
Technology on
Thursday celebrated
the opening of its
newest campus on
Highland Park Bou-
levard near the Mo-
hegan Sun at Casey
Plaza Arena.
McCann, an ac-
credited, for-profit
career-training
school, offers two-
year associate de-
grees and shorter di-
ploma programs fo-
cused on in-demand
career fields. It incor-
porates job finding
into programs.
Were a mission-
driven institution in
its simplest form, Joseph Kennedy,
founder of McCann parent company
Delta Career, said during a ribbon-cut-
ting at the center Thursday. We train
people for jobs and make sure that they
get jobs when theyre done.
KathleenBird, the schools employee
relations director, said McCann stu-
dents participate in work-study, or ex-
ternship programs at local employers,
which lead to employment offers in 35
to 50 percent of cases. Students also re-
ceive help in developing their resumes
and practice interview skills at the
school, and the schools career-services
department canoftenhelpstudents get
a foot in the door at local companies,
Bird said.
The 22,000-square-foot Wilkes-Barre
campus is the seventh McCann in
Northeastern and central Pennsylva-
nia. It has10classrooms andthreemed-
ical labs and currently employs six fac-

Jerayme Johnson, 25, was captured
last month in New Jersey on an arrest
warrant charging him with criminal at-
tempt to commit hom-

Woodlands Inn & Resort on June 18,
2010.
Tonic survived the injuries.
Johnson is a member of the Bloods
street gang, and Tonic associated him-
self with the Crips street gang, police
said.
A preliminary hearing for Johnson
was continued to Feb. 24.
According to the criminal complaint:
Chapelle Jones told police she was at
the club with Nia Smothers, Mercedes
Smothers and three other women, who
she felt were upset because there were
Crip gang members disrespecting
them.
During the course of the night, Nia
Smothers and Mercedes Smothers were

HARRISBURG Gov. Tom Corbett
has appointed two Back Mountain resi-
dents to a state panel charged with
studying how to make higher educa-
tion accessible and affordable to the
students and taxpayers.
RonaldW. Simms, chief executive of-
ficer of MountainProductions Inc., and
Michael MacDowell, president of Mi-
sericordia University, will sit on the 29-
member panel that will develop a long-
term strategy for higher education
with regard to the changing and future
demands of the states economy and
jobs.
According to the governors office,
the panel has been asked to reviewpro-
grams and policies in education to en-
sure educational options for students
align with work force needs.
The most important thingis tokeep
affordability in the program so kids
arent locked out because of high
costs, Simms, 72, said. Its beena con-
tinuing problemfor our kids to keep up
in engineering and math with students
from other countries.
Simms and MacDowell said they are
honored to have been asked to serve on
the panel. They serve without compen-
sation.
In these difficult budget times, it is
important for all key stakeholders in
higher education to work closely with
the governor to optimize college ac-
cess, excellence and degree comple-
tion time for our citizens, MacDowell
said. By doing so, we can assure that
the Commonwealth will remain a vi-
brant and exciting place to live, work
and raise our families.
According to the governors office,
the panel members have been asked to
identify key issues and to review cur-
rent policies, procedures, regulations
and legislation that impacts post-sec-
ondary education in the state. In addi-
tion, the panel will evaluate trends in
education, including the role of tech-
nology, and how higher education can
increase collaboration with the private
sector and government.
The panel will be ledby RobWonder-
ling, former state senator and current
president and chief executive officer of
the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of
Commerce. Panelists are being asked
to submit findings to the governor by
Nov. 15, according to the governors of-
fice. The first meeting has not yet been
announced.
We need to open the discussion
about how best to finance higher edu-
cation in this state, Corbett said in his
budget address. We need to have a
thorough public and candid conversa-
tiononhowbest to deal withthe spiral-
ing costs and our own obligations.

FOR THE
RECORD
WILKES-BARRE Former city tow-
ing contractor Bob Kadluboski asked
City Council on Thursday to send a let-
ter to the Haas family, thanking them
for a$1milliondonationthat was usedto
purchase three newfire engines in 2005-
06.
Kadluboski said the family is from
Bear Creek Township.
There are several Haas
listings in the phone
book; none could be re-
ached for comment
Thursday night.
The rumor of the
Haas familys involve-
ment has beencirculat-
ing for weeks. A family
member contacted two weeks ago de-
clined to speak for publication about the
donation.
Kadluboski claims the family donated
$1 million to the city for the fire depart-
ment, directing it through the Kids for
the Kingdom charity in California.
Mayor Tom Leighton did not an-
nounce receipt of the donation when it
was made. It was revealed recently by
Karen Ceppa Hirko, who requested doc-
uments from the city regarding the fire
engine purchases.
The charity sent a letter to the city in-
forming it of the donation and the do-
nors request for anonymity. The charity
said the donation could be announced
and the charity be given publicity.
Leighton chose not to do so. Kadluboski
said his information came from a very
reliable source someone who knows.
Kadluboski asked council and assist-
ant city attorney Bill Vinsko if it was true
that the donors name was Haas. Vinsko
said he didnt know. Councilman Bill
Barrett saidhe hadnoidea whothe do-
nor was.

Bob Kadluboski says he has source

Johnson, Holmes and anoth-

Police said surveillance foot-

Johnson and Holmes fled in a

Police said Tonic identified
Johnson as the person who shot

ulty members, though Campus
Director T.J. Eltringhamsaid the
school will likely hire more as en-

Eltringham said the school,
which opened Jan. 18, currently
has five or six students in each of
its 11 associ-
ates degree
andeight diplo-
ma programs.
McCann also
has campuses

While McCann offers an array

she is studying medical billing at

Kadluboski said he plans to
visit the Luzerne County Dis-
trict Attorneys Office on Mon-
day to request an investigation
into the purchase of the fire en-
gines.
Once that money was placed
in a city account it became pub-
lic money, Kadluboski said.
The fire engines should have
been bid out and council should
have approved it.
After the meeting, Leighton
refused to confirm the donors
name. He said revealing the
name could discourage poten-
tial donors.
Kadluboski called Leighton
a sneak for not revealing the
donationandsaidhe was not in-
sinuating that the donor did
anything wrong.
They shouldbe thanked, he
said. This is something that
could have been nice. It should
have beencelebrated. But it was
done in a sneaky way to make
the mayor look good.
The city has been ordered to
provide all bids, or requests for
proposals, that were submitted
in 2005 and 2006 when the city
was purchasing the three fire
engines, the state Office of
Open records ruled in January.
The city could appeal the ruling
to the Luzerne County Court of
Common Pleas. Last month
city officials said the proposals
arenot availableandthecitydid
not keep copies of them.
The city bought the engines
in 2006 from KME-Kovach of
Nesquehoning for $860,000.
The other $140,000 was used
for renovations to the Hollen-
back Fire House, Leighton has
stated.
The city has produced one
RFP -- from KME-Kovach. Two
other reported bids from

ment that the laws main goal, get-
ting all students up to speed in
reading and math by 2014, is not
within reach.
The states excused fromfollow-
ing the lawno longer have to meet
that deadline. Instead, they had to
put forward plans showing they
will prepare children for college
andcareers, set newtargets for im-
proving achievement among all
students, rewardthe best perform-
ing schools and focus help on the
ones doing the worst.
Obama said he was acting be-
cause Congress had failed to up-
date the law despite widespread
agreement it needs to be fixed.
Weve offered every state the
same deal, Obama said. If youre
willing to set higher, more honest
standards than the one ones that
were set by No Child Left Behind,
then were going to give you the
flexibility to
meet those
standards.
Republicans
have charged
that by grant-
ing waivers,
Obama was
overreaching
his authority.
The execu-
tive action by
Obamaisoneof
his most promi-
nent inanongo-
ing campaign
to act on his
own where Congress is rebuffing
him.
Obama called President George
W. Bushsmost hypeddomesticac-
complishment an admirable but
flawed effort that hurt students in-
stead of helping them.
No Child Left Behind was pri-
marily designed to help the na-
tions poor and minority children
and was passed a decade ago with
widespread bipartisan support. It
has been up for re-
newal since 2007.
But lawmakers
have been sty-
mied for years by
competing priori-
ties, disagree-
ments over how
much of a federal
role there should
be in schools and,
in the recent Con-
gress, partisangri-
dlock.
For all the
cheers that states
may have about
Obamas action, the move also re-
flects the sobering reality that the
United States is not close to the
lawsoriginal goal: gettingchildren
tograde level inreadingandmath.
Critics today say the 2014 dead-
line was unrealistic, the law is too
rigid and led to teaching to the
test, and too many schools feel
they are unfairly labeled as fail-
ures. Under No Child Left Be-
hind, schools that dont meet re-
quirements for twoyears or longer
face increasingly tough conse-
quences, including busing chil-
drentohigher-performingschools,
offering tutoring and replacing
staff.
As the deadline approaches,
moreschoolsarefailingtomeet re-
quirements under the law, with
nearly half not doing so last year,
according to the Center on Educa-
tion Policy. Center officials said
thats because some states today
have harder tests or have high
numbers of immigrant and low-in-
comechildren, but itsalsobecause
the lawrequires states to raise the
bar each year for how many chil-
dren must pass the test.
In states granted a waiver, stu-
dents will still be tested annually. .
While the presidents action
marks a change in education poli-
cy, the reach is limited. The pop-
ulousstatesof Pennsylvania, Texas
and California are among those
that have not said they will seek a
waiver, althoughtheycouldstill do
so later.

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN
Drone kills 4 militants
A
U.S. drone strike reportedly killed
a notorious Pakistani al-Qaida
operative before dawn Thursday in a
tribal area bordering Afghanistan, the
latest sign that the United States and
Pakistan are stepping up coordinated
intelligence operations despite a down-
turn in relations.
The apparent CIA drone strike on a
compound in Miranshah, the main
town in the North Waziristan tribal
area, reportedly killed four militants,
including Badar Mansoor.
Mansoor wasnt considered a high-
value terrorist target by the FBI, but he
had been listed at least since 2009 in
the so-called red book of terror sus-
pects maintained by Pakistans Interior
Ministry. He also was a close associate
of Ilyas Kashmiri, the head of al-Qaidas
operation in Pakistan until his death in
a drone strike last year.
GUADALAJARA, MEXICO
15 tons of meth found
The historic seizure of 15 tons of
pure methamphetamine in western
Mexico, equal to half of all meth sei-
zures worldwide in 2009, feeds grow-
ing speculation that the country could
become a world platform for meth
production, not just a supplier to the
United States.
The sheer scale of the bust an-
nounced late Wednesday in Jalisco
state suggests involvement of the pow-
erful Sinaloa cartel, a major interna-
tional trafficker of cocaine and marijua-
na that has moved into meth produc-
tion and manufacturing on an industri-
al scale.
The haul could have supplied 13
million doses worth over $4 billion on
U.S. streets.
LOS ANGELES

Children returned Thursday to an

class.
Hundreds of students streamed
through the front doors under the eyes
of school police and some 100 pro-
testers, who opposed the disruption of
removing everyone from the principal

school year.
The protesters, who included par-
ents and students at Miramonte Ele-
mentary School, held signs bashing the
Los Angeles Unified School District,
proclaiming Give us our teachers
back, and LAUSD Shame on You.
Children chanted No new teachers.

OZARK, Mo. A British armored
car guard suspected of driving off with a
fortune worth $1.5 million back in 1993
has been captured in rural Missouri,
where he had been working as a cable
guy and raising a son who apparently
knew nothing of his fathers past.
Edward John Maher was dubbed
Fast Eddie in news reports after the
heist in England, but he quickly van-
ished. After nearly two decades as a fu-
gitive, he was arrested Wednesday in an
apartment in the tiny town of Ozark,
where he had been living under a broth-
ers name, Michael Maher.
Mahers guise began unraveling Mon-
day, when Ozark police received a tip
that a man going by that name was real-
ly a fugitive from Britain. An officer
compared his drivers license photo
with a picture from 1993 and contacted
the FBI, which also compared
the photos and determined the
two photos were likely the
same man.
On the same day, Maher was
bailing his adult son out of jail
in the nearby town of Nixa
when a police officer told him
he knew Maher was wanted in
England, but the officer could
not arrest him.
According to an FBI affida-
vit, Mahers son overheard what the offi-
cer had said and asked his father about
it.
The father was irate, the affidavit
said.
The next day, Mahers son was being
interviewed by an FBI agent when his
father called and said they had to leave
immediately. The son refused to go. A
short time later, Ozark police officers
and federal agents saw Maher, a woman
and a boy leaving their home
carrying clothes. They were lat-
er seen checking into a local
motel.
The son contacted the FBI
agent Wednesday and reported
that his father had changed his
mind about fleeing. Maher was
taken into custody a short time
later.
He is accused of driving off in
an armored car while a fellow
security guard was making a delivery to
a bank in Suffolk, England. The van was
later abandoned. Fifty bags containing
coins and notes worth 1 million pounds,
or $1.5 million, were missing.
After being taken into custody, Maher
told an FBI agent he had been using his
brothers name since 1998, when he be-
gan working in the U.S. He said he ob-
tained a Social Security number under
that name.

WASHINGTON The Penta-
gon is unveiling plans Thursday
to allow women to serve in thou-
sandsof militaryjobsclosertothe
front lines, reflecting the realities
of the last decade of war in Iraq
andAfghanistan.
Defense officials say the new
rules will still mean that woman
are barred from serving as infan-
try, armor and special operations
forces considered the most
dangerous combat jobs. But the
changes will open the door for
more opportunities and promo-
tionsforwomenbyallowingthem
to perform jobs they are already
performing, but in battalions,
which are closer to the fighting
and once considered too danger-
ous for women.
A1994combat exclusionpolicy
bans women
from being as-
signed to
ground combat
units below the
brigade level. A
brigade is
roughly 3,500
troops split into
several battal-
ions of about
800 soldiers
each. Histori-
cally, brigades
were based far-
ther from the
front lines and
often include
top command and support staff,
while the battalions are usuallyin
closer contact withthe enemy.
In the past decade, the necessi-
ties of war propelled women into
jobs such as medics, military po-
lice and intelligence officers, and
theywere sometimes attached
but not formally assigned to
battalions. So while a woman
couldnt be assigned as an infan-
trymaninabattaliongoingout on
patrol, shecouldflythehelicopter
supportingtheunit, or moveinto
providemedical aidif troopswere

BEIRUT Between blasts of rockets
and mortar fire, Syrians used loudspeak-
ers to call for blood donations and med-
ical supplies Thursday in the stricken
city of Homs, where a weeklong govern-
ment offensive has created a deepening
humanitarian crisis.
Government forces are trying to
crush pockets of violent resistance in
Homs, the epicenter of an 11-month-old
uprising that has brought the country
ever closer to civil war. The intense
shelling in restive neighborhoods such
as Baba Amr has made it diffi-
cult to get medicine and care
to the wounded, and some ar-
eas have been without electric-
ity for days, activists say.
Snipers are on all the roofs
in Baba Amr, shooting at peo-
ple, Abu Muhammad Ibra-
him, an activist in Homs, told
The Associated Press by
phone.
Anything that moves, even
a bird, is targeted. Life is completely cut
off. Its a city of ghosts, he added.
As he spoke, explosions could be
heard in the background.
The bombardment has not eased,
day or night, he said, asking to be iden-
tified by his nickname for fear of repri-
sals. Do you hear the sound of the
rockets? Children have been wounded,
elderly with extreme inju-
ries.
Hundreds are believed to
have been killed since early
Saturday in the heaviest at-
tack the city has endured
since the uprising began in
March, activists said.
This brutal assault on
residential neighborhoods
shows the Syrian author-
ities contempt for the lives
of their citizens in Homs, said Anna
Neistat, associate emergencies director
at Human Rights Watch. Those re-
sponsible for such horrific attacks will
have to answer for them.
Human Rights Watch also said evi-
dence suggests Syrian government
forces are using long-range, indirect fire
weapons such as mortars.

drugs in health insurance plans violates
the First Amendment rights of Catholic
employers who find those services
morally wrong.
Custer said the health care law does
not mandate coverage of abortion-in-
ducing drugs.
She said it includes coverage of
drugs that prevent ovulation and fertil-
ization of an egg that opponents fre-
quently like to frame in a way that
makes it seem like an abortion-induc-
ing drug.
Custer said there is a huge excep-
tion for religious-affiliated groups
such as churches and houses of wor-
ship.
But the U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops and other religious groups be-
lieve Catholic hospitals and universi-
ties also should be exempt.
Exemptions are possible if the cov-
ered services would violate an institu-
tions beliefs, but not if the institution
employs large numbers of people who
do not share those beliefs.
Custer pointed out the Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity Commission
recognized about a decade ago that de-
nying women contraception coverage
constitutes sex discrimination.
She also noted a 2006 New York
State Supreme Court ruling that con-
traceptive equity laws with narrow em-
ployer exclusions do not violate the
First Amendment or substantially bur-
den a religious belief or practice.
In their decision, they write, When
a religious organization chooses to hire
nonbelievers, it must, at least to some
degree, be prepared to accept neutral
regulations imposed to protect those
employees legitimate interests in do-
ing what their own beliefs permit,
Custer said.
Andrea Dolak, Planned Parenthood
regional development manager, said
the Catholic-affiliated health care sys-
tem is so large, one in six Americans
get care there.
Thats who is asking to be exempt-
ed from the birth control coverage ben-
efit, not individual church groups, she
said.
Dolak also noted that a poll released
Thursday by the Public Religion Re-
search Institute shows that 58 percent
of Catholics believe employers should
be required to provide their employees
with health care plans that cover con-
traception.
Dolak also said 28 states already
have laws requiring contraception be
covered by health insurance, and there
is not any controversy about that.
PLANNED
WASHINGTON Democrats
are deeplydividedover President
Barack Obamas newrule that re-
ligious schools and hospitals
must provide insurance for free
birth control to their employees
amid fresh signs that the admin-
istration was scrambling for a
way out.
This is not only unacceptable,
it is un-American, says Sen. Joe
Manchin, D-W.Va., a Catholic
who faces re-election in Novem-
ber in a state where Wednesday
nights are reserved for church
services.
Another Catholic senator, Bob
Casey of Scranton, has pleaded
with the administration to cor-
rect this decision which will
erode the conscience rights that
have been protected for decades.
His opposition echoes the criti-
cism of Scranton Bishop Joseph
C. Bambera.
Several Democrats, including
Senate candidate Tim Kaine in
Virginia and Illinois Rep. Dan Li-
pinski, have been outspoken in
assailing the recently announced
administration mandate that has
angeredreligious groups anduni-
fied Republicans in protest. In a
reflection of the party split, Sen-
ate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., on Thursday blocked a
GOP effort to debate an amend-
ment on religious freedom.
A day earlier, liberal female
senators thanked Obama for the
new policy during a closed-door
retreat.
Were here to stand up for the
women of America who deserve
to have access to free preventive
care through their health insur-
ance, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Cal-
if., said later at a news confer-
ence.
House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., on Thursday
promiseda fierce debate onwom-
ens rights if Republicans tried to
repeal the policy.
Even though church-affiliated
hospitals, colleges and social ser-
vice agencies will have one addi-
tional year to comply with the re-
quirement, issued last month in
regulations under Obamas
health care overhaul, the outcry
has been loud and fierce. Facing
intense pressure, the White
House indicated this week that it
is trying to come up with a com-
promise.
Vice President Joe Biden, a Ca-
tholic, said in a radio interview
Thursday that there is going to
be a significant attempt to work
this out and there is time to do
that. He said the one-year grace
period is to make sure that we
do not force the Catholic Church
to do something that they funda-
mentally think is inconsistent
with their religious beliefs.
He spoke with Bill Cunning-
ham of 700 WLW in Cincinnati.
The party break over the con-
tentious issue could reverberate
in an election year, with implica-
tions not only for Obama in bat-
tleground states with significant
numbers of Catholic working-
class voters such as Ohio and
Pennsylvania, but also for Demo-
crats in congressional races. The
political upside for Caseyor Man-
chin is a fresh opportunity to
show their independence from
the president; the political down-
side is potentially pushing too far
on a matter that resonates with
female voters critical to the Dem-
ocrats prospects in November.

were their witnesses.
The company developed SutureStick

PLAINS TWP. The township
board of commissioners an-
nounced Thursday night that the
municipality will be pursuing a
nearly $200,000 recreation grant
from the state Department of
Conservation and Natural Re-
sources.
If awarded, the funding will go
towardthepurchaseof 80acres of
land to expand the limits of the
Plains Township Municipal Park.
Locatedinthe BirchwoodHills
section, the park is already 160
acres. The expansion would en-
compassmuchof thelandleading

township.

Board Chairman Ron Filippini
said the township has no inten-
tions of making any changes to
the bike track, noting the board
simply wishes to make sure the
land continues to be used for rec-
reational purposes.
Also on Thursday, Commis-
sioner Brigid OConnor an-
nounced that the International
Organization for Standardiza-
tion, a body that ranks municipal-
ities for their fire safety capabili-
ties, gave the township a rating of
5, representing an improvement
over a previous rating.
In the organizations scale, a
lowernumberreflectsabetterrat-
ing. Plains was formerly a 7.
OConnor described the 5 rat-
ing as the best the township has
had in 20 years.
She cited the acquisition of a
newaerial ladder fire truckas key
to the improved rating. She also
pointed to the improved rating as
a testament to quality work of
Chief Carl Baker and the rest of
the municipal fire department.
The township will soon be re-
ceiving a new pumping system
that will improve its ability to ap-
ply water to fires in the future.
OConnor said she believes this
will lead to an even better rating
when the township is inspected
again in 2013.
In other firefighting-related

that founded it.
Auditor General Jack Wagn-

rental payments from the
school to the church. Shaw-

ney for review. The schools
attorney disputes Wagners
findings.
The Pocono Mountain

WILKES-BARRE A man
robbed and assaulted while de-
livering Chinese food to a Sher-
man Hills apartment building
was unable to identify his at-
tacker Thursday, forcing police
to withdraw charges against Jafa
Leroy McAllister.
McAllisters freedom was
short lived.
Immediately after charges of
robbery, simple assault and theft
were withdrawn against McAl-
lister, 24, he was charged by po-
lice with stealing $1,400 from an
ex-girlfriend on Barney Street.
McAllister showed up at
Wilkes-Barre Central Court for
his preliminary hearing on the
robbery charges in Sherman
Hills.
Police on Jan. 18 charged
McAllister with robbing an em-
ployee of Tin-Tin Chinese res-
taurant delivering food to Build-
ing 320 on Jan. 2. The robbery
was one of five reported mug-
gings of employees delivering
Chinese food within the 22-acre
apartment complex on North
Empire Court from Dec. 26 to
Jan. 14.
A city detective told Senior
District Judge Andrew Barilla
on Thursday that the charges
were being withdrawn because
the Tin-Tin employee was un-
able to positively identify his at-
tacker.
McAllister was then charged
with stealing money from his
ex-girlfriends residence on Bar-
ney Street, where he was arrest-
ed for the robbery in Sherman
Hills.
Arrest and court records say
McAllister stole the money from
the Barney Street residence on
Jan. 24, the same day he was
released from the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility on
the robbery charges after post-
ing $25,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing on the
latest criminal complaint is
scheduled on Feb. 16 in Central
Court.

State Rep. Phyllis Mundy
The Democrat from Kingston blasted the Marcellus
Shale drilling legislation (H.B. 1950) that sped
through the General Assembly this week. She and other critics say the
pending law lacks sufficient environmental provisions and fails to collect
enough from the natural gas industry to compensate for its impacts.
Writer believes drilling
vital to states economy
G
iven the actions of the Obama adminis-
tration in rejecting the Keystone Pipe-
line and ensuring we wont see much
offshore drilling in the Atlantic any time
soon, I was surprised to hear him praise
the natural gas industry in his State of the
Union address.
I guess its difficult to ignore the huge
economic success of natural gas over the
past few years. In Pennsylvania we are
benefiting far more than most states, and I
hope the presidents remarks indicate that
federal policy will be supportive of natural
gas drilling during his administration.
Its important that natural gas drilling be
continued in Pennsylvania for many rea-
sons, but one reason stands out: jobs. The
new jobs created by drilling are helping
areas that have been struggling for dec-
ades.
Not only has the industry created jobs in
our state, it also has paid around $1 billion
in state and local taxes over the past five
years and invested $400 million in roads
and infrastructure. At a time when the
state and local governments are struggling
to come up with enough revenue, this
windfall from Marcellus Shale drilling has
proven to be indispensable.
Like President Obama, Im all in favor of
natural gas drilling.

Food stamp asset checks
no way to help families
Y
a know, Mr. Governor, if I were on food
stamps and trying to save some money
to send my kids to college, I dont
think that placing a maximum on how
much money I could have in savings would
be helpful to me, my kids or the govern-
ment that would have helped pay for my
kids to go to college through grants, etc.
After all, the best way to ensure that my
kids dont wind up on food stamps is for
them to get a good education, right?
I think you need to give a little more
thought to your decision-making. Maybe a
lot more.

Young drivers given
basic lesson in physics
I
have been following the letters to the
editor from the disgruntled young driv-
ers about the new laws to which they
have to conform.
There is a law that they should under-
stand. It is not written in any driving
manual, Bible, Torah or Quran. Its in a
physics book: The law is Sir Isaac New-
tons third law of motion.
It states this: For every action there is
an opposite and equal reaction. Its caused
by gravity and affects everyone.
Learn it, understand it and dont drive
until you do! It will save someones life, if
not your own. You might even make it to
be a senior citizen.

SOMETHING UNUSUAL
happened at the premiere
of the film Red Tails.
People applauded during
the movie and when it
ended. They also cheered,
laughed and cried during
the film.
The movie that George Lucas produced
about the Tuskegee Airmen has had that
effect on audiences. Red Tails is partic-
ularly pertinent during Black History
Month.
It is an all-American story about an un-
derdog group of black fighter pilots and
mechanics overcoming the crushing ad-
versity of racism, segregation and discrimi-
nation during World War II to fly their way
into the history books as heroes. In a
speech before the film, U.S. Rep. Emanuel
Cleaver said that until the Tuskegee Air-
men got a chance to prove themselves, the
nations message to African-Americans was
you are not even qualified to die for your
country.
History plays a lead role in the film.
African-Americans were drawn into the
excitement of aviation as much as anyone.
It was a relatively new, incredibly fast
means of travel, and young black men were
captivated by it.
Government programs starting in 1938
gave many African-American college stu-
dents the opportunity to earn their private
pilots licenses. The draft in 1940 swept all
American males ages 21 to 35 in to register.
But the countrys history of segregation
intruded, forcing black men into separate
units. Also in 1940, the War Department
directed the civil Aeronautics Authority in
cooperation with the U.S. Army to develop
colored personnel for the aviation ser-
vice. It was deemed an experiment like a
lot of things that African-Americans have
had to endure.
Yet eager black men who wanted to
serve their country came mostly from big
cities to the Tuskegee Institute, which had
been chosen to train pilots, navigators,
bombardiers, mechanics and others.
Still the countrys long history of racism
saddled the black aviators with the worst
aircraft and equipment. The men in the
332nd Fighter Group based at the Ramitelli
airfield in Italy in 1944 initially got lesser
flying patrols away from combat.
Lucas, who did the Star Wars films,
spent 23 years trying to get the Tuskegee
Airmens story into the theater. Movie
executives didnt think a picture about
black men would be a good box office draw.
They were wrong.
The Tuskegee Airmen as well as black
soldiers in tanks, on ships and in the in-
fantry fought, seeking what black newspa-
pers at the time called the Double V
victory against Adolf Hitler overseas and
victory against Jim Crow and racism at
home.
The heroics and young men overcoming
insurmountable odds were central parts of
Red Tails.
The films overall effect is that it de-
picted African-Americans accurately as
caring about their country and each other.
Young people were living up to the high
expectations of their parents and ances-
tors, dating back to slaves in America.
Beyond the war, the young men had
dreams of going back to college and getting
advanced degrees. They had hopes of en-
tering professional careers many of which
had been closed to black people because of
discrimination.
They also were determined to fight the
odds, fight Jim Crow at home and win.
Their heroism during the war combined
with others fueled the civil rights move-
ment and helped make America what it is
today.
Without their contributions, the many
African-Americans who filled the seats in
the theater wouldnt have been there, and
this story would never have been told.

OUKNOWITS a hyp-
er-partisan age when
GOP svengali Karl
Rove professes offense
at a Super Bowl ad extolling
American resilience. Judging
by the howls of protest over a
TV commercial featuring Clint
Eastwood, you would have
thought President Barack Oba-
ma had raised everyones taxes
whileconservatives wereinthe
kitchen grabbing chips and
beer.
Eastwood Hollywood icon,
former Carmel, Calif., mayor
and, by the way, a Republican
strolled through much of the
ad bathed in shadows. In the
raspy voice he used to perfec-
tion in the movie Gran Tori-
no, he declared it was half-
time in America before listing
manyof theproblems that have
kept the country divided.
All that matters now is
whats ahead, he said. How
do we come frombehind? How
dowecometogether? Andhow
do we win?
Detroits showing us it can
be done. And whats true about
them is true about all of us.
This country cant be knocked
out with one punch. We get
right back up again, and when
wedo, theworlds goingtohear
the roar of our engines.
Then the Chrysler product
logos appear, understatedly, on
the screen.
Althoughtheres beennoevi-
denceof coordinationonthead
withthe White House, Rove ac-
cused Chrysler of making it to
reward President Obama for
the bailout.
Sometimes a car ad is just a
car adandnot a commercial for
the Democratic Party.

H
EY, Wilkes-Barre Ar-
ea School Board:
Lets not talk.
Lets keep the pes-
ky public out of public meet-
ings, or at least make sure peo-
ple are muzzledas oftenas pos-
sible.
Lets limit public comment
to the minimum amount re-
quired by law.
After all, with three ex-board
members guilty of federal cor-
ruption charges, that approach
historically has worked pretty
well for this group. Why
change? At least, that appears
to be your stance.
Surely the five of you who on
Wednesday voted against al-
lowing public comment at
work sessions committee of
the whole meetings realized
such a vote sent a pretty sorry
message.
Whats the problem? Gotta
game to catch? A dinner date?
No doubt about it, you de-
serve credit for taking on a
tough job with no pay and sub-
stantial responsibility, andrun-
ning efficient meetings is best
for spectators and board mem-
bers alike. But did it occur to
you that letting people raise
questions and offer ideas at
work sessions could be more
efficient, rather than less?
Say, for instance, a taxpayer
asks a question or raises an im-
portant point Monday. You
look into it and resolve the
problem by Wednesdays regu-
lar meeting. Nowno one has to
wait until next month to fix
something you took care of in
two days.
There is a scene in the musi-
cal 1776, a real teaching mo-
ment that you might want to
review. With the Continental
Congress deadlocked in a roll
call vote on whether to debate
a resolution on independence,
Rhode Islanddelegate Stephen
Hopkins returns fromthe nec-
essary, takes a look at the vote
tally and bellows a bit of funda-
mental democracy:
Ive never seen, heard nor
smelled an issue so dangerous
it couldnt be talked about.
Hell yes, Im for debating any-
thing!

Retired state Sen. Ray Musto,
under federal indictment for al-
legedly accepting$38,000incash
andservices fromconvictedfelon
Robert Mericle, still has nearly
$150,000 in his campaign com-
mittees bank account.
According to a filing with the
Department of State, Mustos
campaign committee entered
2011with a $158,677 balance and
ended the year with $149,854.
Revenues of about $1,300came
frominterest on bank deposits or
the refund of bank fees.
Musto didnt run for re-elec-
tion in 2010, and at age 82 has
made no indications hell ever
run for office again, but he still
paid $391 per month last year for
office rent to Chapel Properties
of Pittston. It was unclear where
the office being rented is located
and the phone number listed for
the business has been discon-
nected. The campaign also spent
money each month on a Verizon
Wireless cellphone plan.
While inoffice, Musto was pay-
ing monthly office rent of $93.44
to RCC Properties.
OnApril 8, 2010, federal agents
searched Mustos Pittston Town-
ship home and vehicle and car-
ried away boxes and bags of
items. Mustos trial is scheduled
for June. He has denied the alle-
gations. He didnot returna mess-
age left on his home phone
Thursday.
Mericle, a noted local real es-
tate developer, pleaded guilty in
2009 to failing to report a crime
in the corruption cases of former
Luzerne County judges Michael
T. Conahan and Mark A. Ciava-
rella. He is scheduled to be a wit-
ness at Mustos trial and wont be
sentenced until after the Musto
trial is completed.
The 2011 campaign finance re-
port filed by the Friends of Todd
Eachus shows a more modest bal-
ance.
Eachus, a Democrat and for-
mer House majority leader, lost
his re-election bid to Tarah Too-
hil, R-Butler Township, in 2010.
His committee began 2011
with $29,225 and ended with
$17,675.
Among its expenditures were
payments to AT&T Mobility for
cellphone bills and contributions
to political campaigns, including
$5,000 to Citizens for Jewell Wil-
liams Committee; $1,000 to the
Wansacz and Jeffers For County
Commissioner committee that
represented candidates for Lack-
awanna County commissioner
and $500 to committees in West-
ern Pennsylvania.
Musto campaign committee still has nearly $150,000

on May 4, 2010, she allegedly
entered the Price Chopper in
Wyoming and tried to take a
package of meat valued at
$23.24. She is represented in
that case by attorney Stephen
Menn.
In the poisoning case, Skla-
rosky filed court papers Tues-
day in response to a filing by
McCabe that he intends to use
a prior conviction against Galli
at the yet-to-be-scheduledtrial.
Galli was sentenced in 1991
to 10 years probation after she
pleaded guilty to persuading
two granddaughters to start a
fire at the residence of her
daughter-in-law in Plains
Township on May 7, 1990, ac-
cording to court records.
Galli was accused of giving
the girls kerosene used to start
the fire. She pleaded guilty to
arson, corruption of minors
and criminal conspiracy before
the start of a jury trial in 1991.
Sklarosky said in court pa-
pers filed this week that the 21-
year-old case is not needed,
relevant or necessary to prove
the commonwealths case and
that the arson case did not oc-
cur within a similar time frame
and the victim was not the
same person.
Allowing the arson case into
a trial, Sklarosky wrote, will
result in unfair prejudice to
Ms. Galli and will have the ef-
fect of demonstrating her pro-
pensity to commit crimes and
blacken her character to the ju-
ry.
A judge has not yet ruled on
those requests.

her daughter, Angela Kishbaugh, of Nesco-

Cherpak said her husband really didnt talk
much about his service in the Navy, but while
looking through old documents she found a
certificate.
That document explains why the dog tag
was found in Gainesville her husband had
done some training there in September 1945.
According to the Gainesville Times, during
World War II, the Navy used what is now Lee
Gilmer Memorial Airport in Gainesville as an
airfield to train personnel in ground-con-
trolled approach procedures.
The structures were decommissioned in
1947 and returned to Gainesville.
The Green Street pool opened in 1931 as
City Park Swimming Pool and was closed in
2009 by the city of Gainesville for budgetary
reasons.
Raymond Cherpak had served during
World War II and worked as an air traffic con-
troller, Cherpak said.
He later worked as a music teacher for the
Wyoming Valley West School District and
played the accordion with the musical group

A woman and four children safely escaped their house at 135 Regent St., Wilkes-Barre, around 5:35 p.m.
Thursday, when fire broke out in a second-floor bedroom. Wilkes-Barre Fire Department Capt. Robert Smith
said the fire was contained to the back bedroom, but the second floor sustained significant heat damage.
The fire is under investigation, said Smith. The Red Cross provided emergency shelter to the occupants of
the house, he said. Their names were unavailable.

Nineteen
months after
The Decision
sent his person-
al stock plum-
meting, LeBron
James is as
desperate as
ever to please and still clueless
on how to go about it.
So maybe the only surprise
about Forbes magazines latest
list of most-disliked athletes is
that James hasnt demanded a
recount. He came in at No. 6, a
dozen percentage points behind
co-leaders Michael Vick and
Tiger Woods, both of whom
polled 60 percent. Unlike either,
James finds no slight too small
to ignore and has so many pub-
lic feuds running at any moment
that its hard to keep track of
them all. But something James
said recently is true about every
one of them:
Im an easy target; if someone
wants to get a point across
just throw LeBrons name in
there. You could be watching
cartoons with your kids and you
dont like it, you say, Blame it
on LeBron. If you go to the
grocery store and they dont
have the milk that you like, you
just say, Its LeBrons fault.
Fair point. And to be fair, hes
a model citizen as pro athletes
go and all five guys who finished
ahead of him on the list were
guilty of actual sins:
Vick headed up a dogfighting
ring and Woods ran a stable of
girlfriends while pretending to
be married. Jets receiver Plaxico
Burress did jail time for shoot-
ing himself in the thigh, which
at the time seemed like puni-
shment enough. Lions tackle
Ndamukong Suh, who four
months earlier topped the
Forbes poll of most-liked ath-
letes, was on the fast track to
becoming the NFLs dirtiest
player when he paused to stomp
an opponent last season and
earned a two-game suspension.
Nets forward Kris Humphries
married Kim Kardashian if
only for 72 hours. Even Kobe
Bryant, who finished a notch
below James at 45 percent,
spent time in court defending
himself against a rape charge
that was later dropped.
Yet its James who winds up in
the public dock all the time, and
thats because unlike everyone
else on the list, he doesnt know
when to quit talking. On Jan. 30,
he tweeted about Los Angeles
Blake Griffin dunking thunder-
ously over Oklahoma Citys
Kendrick Perkins, then unwisely
got into a back-and-forth skir-
mish with Perkins that still
simmers, reminding the rest of
us almost daily whats so annoy-
ing about James.
Dunk of the Year! is how
James began his tweet, @bla-
kegriffin just dunked on Ken-
drick Perkins so hard!!! Wow! I
guess Im No. 2 now. Move over
(hash)6.
Notice the not-so-subtle self-
promotion, I guess Im No. 2
now, plus James ever-more
maddening habit of referring to
himself in the third person,
Move over (hash)6.
Perkins certainly did, cutting
right to the quick in his re-
sponse. You dont see Kobe
tweeting, he told Yahoo. You
dont see Michael Jordan tweet-
ing. If youre an elite player,
plays like that dont excite you.
Perkins knows that James is
not just an elite player; he
knows James is probably the
best player in the league at the
moment. But the subtext of
what Perkins said that for all
his talent, James still has zero
championships compared to
Bryants five rings and Jordans
six is indisputable. Larry Bird
touched on both points earlier
this week when he said in an

TheNewYorkGiants already
started preparing to defend
their Super Bowl title, just days
after winning their secondNFL
title in five seasons.
General manager Jerry
Reese said Thursday he ex-
pects a strong core of players to
return next year, but cautioned
there will definitely be some
changes. Thats no surprise
considering 20 players are set
to become unrestricted free
agents in March.
Theres a lot of planning, a
lot of discussiononguys andon
salaries and where we can go
and where we cant go, Reese
said in a conference call. Its a
lot of discussion to be had.
But well be ready.
The Giants, just 7-7 with two
games remaining in the regular
season, finished with six
straight wins, including a 21-17
victory over New England last
Sunday in the Super Bowl. It
was thesecondtimecoachTom
Coughlin and quarterback Eli
Manning beat Tom Brady, Bill
Belichick and the Patriots for
the title.
Chemistry and camaraderie
were among the chief reasons
the Giants were able to over-
come a four-game losing streak
and rebound to win the NFC
East title in the last game of the
regular season.
Wins always make you love
each other. Thats the common
denominator: wins, Reese
said. Every team is different,
every offseason a team chang-
es, but there will be a strong
coreof our current players com-
ing back. I can tell you that. But
there will definitely be some
changes.

Its not a play that Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguin Robert
Bortuzzo wants to have happen
again.
Seconds into the overtime pe-
riod against Providence two
weeks ago, Bortuzzo had the
puck stripped from his stick by
Bruins forward Craig Cunning-
ham, who promptly shot into the
net for the game-winning goal.
Afterwards, Brotuzzo replayed
the turnover in his head several
times, but rather than dwell on
the mistake he knewhe had to re-
bound.
Its not somuchthe mistake it-
self, it how you respond to it,
Bortuzzo said.
In the five games since the Jan.
25 contest against the Bruins,
Bortuzzo has responded pretty
well.
In the first game after the turn-
over, Bortuzzo scored a third pe-
riod power-play goal to force
overtime against the Connecti-
cut Whale a game that the Pen-
guins would win on a Jason Wil-
liams goal.
Two games later Bortuzzo
scored the tying goal in the third
period against Hershey, and the
Penguins would go on to win by
one.
Overall, Bortuzzo has two
goals and an assist in the five
games since his turnover, reaf-

Dallas soccer standout Colleen
McDonald hasnt had an easy
road throughout her high school
career.
There were a couple knee sur-
geries. A hamstring injury
slowed her down last season.
But through it all, McDonald
proved to be one of the top play-
ers in the Wyoming Valley Con-
ference, and it did not go unno-
ticed. McDonald will continue
her soccer andacademic pursuits
at Division I Drexel University
this fall.
Its much, much better now,
McDonald said of her left knee,
which will require a brace when
she takes the field this spring at
Dallas. I actuallyhadthe ACLre-
placed twice.
The injuries didnt stop McDo-
nald from excelling at midfield
and forward for the Mountain-
eers. She scored 11 goals and re-
corded16 assists as a sophomore
and had eight goals and five as-
sists as a junior. She was named
to The Times Leader All-WVC
all-star team both years.
McDonaldbelieves she founda
good fit in Drexel, which is locat-
ed in Philadelphia. She plans on
majoring in biology and eventu-
ally become a veterinarian like
her father, Dr. Jerry McDonald.
She also has a connection with
Drexel assistant coach Don Over-
mier through the Olympic Devel-
opment Program.
Ive actually played for the as-
sistant coachinODPfor the state
team for two years now, McDo-
nald said. I really like his coach-
ing style. Its similar to my club
coachs style. That was a big de-
ciding factor for me. (Drexel) is
really an engineering school, but
I took a look at their biology pro-
gram because I want to be a vet
like my dad. And their biology
program is very good, too.
McDonalds combination of
speed, skills andshootingaccura-
cy allowed her to excel as both a
midfielder and forward at Dallas.
She expects to settle in at mid-
field at Drexel.
They recruited me as an at-
tacking center midfield/for-
ward, McDonald said. For the
region teamthats what I play be-
cause Ima little too small to be a
defensive center-mid. But I like
attacking better than defense
anyway.
Before stepping on the field for
a final season at Dallas, McDo-
nald will be heading to Brazil to
play for the ODPRegionI teamin
early March.
Drexel plays in the Colonial
Athletic Association. The Drag-
ons finished 4-4-3 in the CAAand
6-8-5 overall this past season.

YATESVILLE It was a brutal
night for the Hazleton Area
Cougars girls basketball team as
the Pittston Area Patriots took
charge with a 54-33 win in a
Wyoming Valley Conference
Division I game.
Pittston Area set the tone
right from the tip off, beginning
the game with a 13-0 run led by
standouts Mia Hopkins and
Grace ONeil.
Hopkins showed what she
was made of during that run.
She took a rebound off freshman
Allie Barbers shot and put it up
for two points while getting
fouled in the process. She then
hit the ensuing free throw.
ONeil led the 13-point rally by
hitting two three-pointers.
We came out and attacked
with our offense, said Pittston
Area coach Kathy Healey.
Healey said that the energy
and attitude, along with a big
win, were keys for her players
after a few tough losses.
Despite the score, Hazleton
Area played hard and played
great defense.
Hazleton Area stuck with its
full-court press the entire game.
The Patriots, though, figured it
out as their flawless passing
beat the Cougars pressure.
I definitely think (it was the
passing). We worked hard on
our passing this week, said
Healey. We hit the open person
a lot.
By the end of the half, the
Patriots were up a commanding
32-12 and never looked back.
Hazleton Area came out of the
locker room with a lot of energy,
but as was the story throughout
the game its shots just werent
finding the bottom of the net.
We definitely had a lot of
pride. The last couple of games
we had some tough losses and
we needed to come out strong,
said Hopkins.
Hopkins was the star of the
game for Pittston Area, leading
the way with 23 points. Her
hustle and handling of the ball
were something Hazleton Area
couldnt handle.

For The Times Leader
Mike Hatcher of Ithaca,
N.Y., has been named the sec-
ond offensive coordinator in
Misericordia University foot-
ball history.
Hatcher, a graduate of
Rhodes College (Tenn.), will
also coach the quarterbacks
and serve as assistant coordi-
nator of athletics operations.
Hatcher spent the last two
seasons as the offensive line
coach at Ithaca where he also
served as the primary offen-
sive play caller. He was also
responsible for scouting re-
ports and game planning. He
spent the previous three sea-
sons as the wide receiver/as-
sistant quarterbacks coach
for the Bombers.
A native of Houston, Texas,
Hatcher was a four-year let-
terman as a wide receiver at
Rhodes where he earned a
bachelors degree in political
science before joining the Ith-
aca staff as a graduate assist-
ant in 2007.
Under head coach Mark
Ross, Misericordia will begin
varsity competition in the
MAC this fall.
The Cougars first offen-
sive coordinator, Jack Lydic,
returned to his alma mater,
Division II Bloomsburg as
quarterbacks and receivers
coach. Lydic was a three-year
starter at quarterback for the
Huskies.

field during Redeemers deci-
sive 12-3 run.
Thats something I love
about this team, saidParker, is
that we have a number of play-
ers who can make plays, who
can score for us. It makes the
other teams defensive match-
ups so much harder for them
when were playing like that and
the other team cant key in one
player.
While Parker didnt single her
out, that one player opposing
teams usuallytrytopayas much
defensive attention to as possi-
ble is freshman forward Alexis
Lewis.
Lewis, who averages about 15
points a game, started the game
quietly with four points in both
the first and second quarters be-
fore opening up in the third and
helping Redeemer to a little bit
of breathing room.
With just a one-point lead af-
ter the half, the Royals fought
Crestwoodtoanevenpoint mid-
way through the third quarter
before Lewis knocked down a
three-pointer and added two
scores in the paint for a quick
seven points. A three-pointer
from Altemose closed out the
third for the Royals after Lewis
totaled 10 of her game-high 21
points in the quarter.
The Comets tried to answer
in the quarter behind the low
post play of junior Sydney
Meyers.
Myers, who was originally
slated to play for the Royals be-
fore transferring, picked up six
points in the quarter. But it was
the attention paid to Myers that
helped to open up shots for Re-
becca Rutkowski and eventually
led to an open three for Taryn
Wojnar.
Myers finished with a team-
high 10 points for the Comets
while pulling down nine re-
bounds. Rutkowski finished
with eight points.
Sydneys a talentedkid, said
Parker. Shes got a great post
game and I think the girls did a
really good job digging in defen-
sively and working hard against
her.
Myers wasnt much of a factor
early on, notching just two
points in the first half and none
in Crestwoods flat, five-point
first quarter.
Wignot finished with 10
points for the Royals, scattering
four assists along the way.

interview that if he could play
alongside anyone for a season,
It would have probably been
more fun to play with LeBron,
but if you want to win and win
and win, its Kobe.
After all these years, you
would think the Kobe-versus-
LeBron debate is one that James
would avoid. He hasnt.
Its simple, he has five rings
and I have none so its easy to
say that. If I had five rings and
Kobe had none, James said
blithely, itd probably be the
other way around.
Until it is the other way
around, James should pick his
fights more carefully. Bryant
spent much of his youth and
most of his early NBA career
mimicking everything Jordan
did, from his maniacal work
ethic and lack of conscience to
the way Jordan walked and
talked. Eventually, he figured
out he was always going to suf-
fer in the comparison. So he
won and won and kept on win-
ning until everybody else made
the connection. Bryant is still far
from being loved, as his No. 7
spot on the Forbes list proves,
but he is universally feared by
competitors and respected even
by fans who dont much like
him. James has taken the oppo-
site tack and run into so many
headwinds, its hard to believe
he hasnt changed course by
now.
Not long after The Decision,
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, a
shrewd marketer in his own
right, reckoned that James lost a
billion dollars in brand equity.
So naturally, LeBron doubled
down. He starred in a Nike spot
retracing his steps from high
school and tweaking his growing
legion of critics at every turn,
asking over and over, What
should I do? In hindsight, it was
the beginning of a pattern.
All these squabbles later, the
answer is the same now as it
was then: Win a little and say
even less until you do.

The Wilkes University wres-
tling team will welcome fifth-
ranked Ithaca at 7 p.m. today at
the Marts Center.
The Bombers (11-2) are ranked
fifth in the Division III Brute-Adi-
das NWCA Poll, while the Colo-
nels (15-3) are ranked 19th.
Wilkes is coming off a 27-10 Met-
ropolitan Conference win over
30th-ranked TCNJ last week and
it has won 11 straight duals, hav-
ing not lost since December.
Ithaca is riding a four-match
win streak since losing two in a
rowlast month in the Division III
National Duals in Springfield, Ill.
Two of those wins are against
ranked opponents in Stevens In-
stitute of Technology (No. 29)
and Delaware Valley (No. 23).
Tonights meet will be the sixth
against a ranked opponent for
Wilkes. It has gone 3-2 in the pre-
vious five.
The lineups for tonights meet
are already set with two matches
featuring 20-match winners. At
133-pounds, Wilkes Myzar Men-
doza (21-6) is slated to go against
Seth Ecker (22-4) and at 174 with
the Colonels Dustin Stough (21-
11) versus Jules Doliscar (28-3).
Wilkes enters eight grapplers
with at least 20 wins, while just
three Bombers weighing-in have
20 or more victories.
Other 20-match winners for
Wilkes are Michael Fleck (125
pounds, 28-6), Ryan Wilson (141,
20-6), John Lynch (149, 21-10),
Nathan White (165, 23-13), Bud-
dy Gouger (184, 20-13) and Dave
Oberrender (197, 22-11).

ment that there was nothing to
worry about.
Hes a high character guy and
his response was exactly what
we expected it to be, said head
coach John Hynes. He upped
his level of play and took respon-
sibility for it.
If anything, Bortuzzos re-
sponse to the miscue was a
chance to show the organization
just howfar along he is in his de-
velopment. Nowin his third sea-
son with the Penguins, Bortuzzo
knew that to dwell on the mis-
take would just lead to more.
Youwant to come back witha
strong performance because you
never want tomake that a habit,
he said. Everyones going to
make mistakes and there have
been other games where I wasnt
happy with the way I played. If
Im going to let something like
that affect me, then Im in the
wrong sport.
Crowded Conditions
With Nick Petersen up from
Wheeling and Colin McDonald
and Jason Williams back from
Pittsburgh, the Penguins had 16
forwards and eight defensemen
on the ice for Thursdays prac-
tice at Coal Street. Hynes said
there is plenty of competitionfor
playing time, and that will make
for some tough decisions.
Its going to be challenging to
make decisions on whos in and
whos going to be out, he said,
adding there likely will be a play-
er or two sent to Wheeling.
Its going to get a little more
competitive, but a competitive
culture drives winning teams.
Injury Report
D Alexandre Picard and D Bo-
ris Valabik practiced on Thurs-
day. Hynes said Picard is a possi-
bility to return to the lineup this
weekend, while Valabik isnt
close to returning. D Carl Sneep
didnt practice and he wont be
ready for the weekend, Hynes
said.

game are NBA assists leader
Steve Nash of Phoenix, Tony
Parker of San Antonio, Russell
Westbrook of Oklahoma City, Ke-
vin Love of Minnesota, Chris
Bosh of Miami, Atlantas Joe
Johnson and Deron Williams of
New Jersey.
Already voted to start by fans
in the Eastern Conference were
Orlandos Dwight Howard, Le-
Bron James and Dwyane Wade of

and New Yorks Carmelo Antho-
ny. The West starters are the Lak-
ers Kobe Bryant and AndrewBy-
num, Chris Paul and Blake Grif-
finof theClippers, andOklahoma
Citys Kevin Durant.
Coaches votedfor the reserves,
and they had a tough task in this
lockout-shortened season, when
they were given only about 25
games to evaluate players. That
threatened to make it tough for
Nowitzki and Pierce, whose bod-
ies werent ready to go after the
lengthy offseason and brief train-
ing camps, and have played be-
low their usual standards.
I thinkits tooearly. Imsitting
on my couch when they an-
nounced the rosters and Im
floored. I didnt even know they
had started the voting, Celtics
coach Doc Rivers said.
But the coaches picked No-
witzki, the NBAfinals MVP, even
though his average of 17.6 points
is his worst since he scored 17.5
per game in the 1999-00 season.
NBA
BOSTON Pau Gasol
blocked Ray Allens putback at-
tempt at the buzzer in overtime
and the Los Angeles Lakers
held on to beat the Boston Cel-
tics 88-87 on Thursday night.
Kobe Bryant had 27 points,
Gasol finished with 25 points
and 14 rebounds, and Andrew
Bynum added 16 points and 17
rebounds to help the Lakers
snap a two-game losing streak.
Allen scored 22 points and
Kevin Garnett had 12 points
and 12 rebounds for Boston,
which had won five in a row
and nine of its previous 10
games. But Garnett was 6 for
23 from the field and Paul
Pierce was 7 for 18, including a
clean-look jumper at the end of
overtime.
It rimmed out and Allen
tried to push the rebound in,
but Gasol got his fingertips on
it and it floated away as the
buzzer sounded.
The Lakers had lost six of
their last seven games on the
road.
But a trip to Boston to play
the rival Celtics was just what
they needed.
Both teams shot under 40
percent, and they each missed
twice to start the overtime be-
fore Bryant sank a jumper that
gave the Lakers an 84-82 lead
with 3:30 left. Allen missed,
then Steve Blake made a jump-
er to give the Lakers a four-
point lead their biggest of
the game.
Pierce made a jumper and, af-
ter Gasol missed, Pierce hit a
3-pointer over Metta World
Peace to make it 87-86 Boston.
Bryant missed, but Bynum
tipped it in with1:30 left to give
L.A. the lead, and it held up.
Pierce finished with 18
points, nine rebounds and sev-
en assists.

PITTSBURGH Through-
out the16 minutes that followed
him glowingly introducing for-
mer Kansas City Chiefs coach
Todd Haley as his new offensive
coordinator, Pittsburgh Steelers
coach Mike Tomlin stood proud-
ly in the corner of the second-
floormediaroomat theteamsfa-
cility.
Honestly.
During the press conference
officially announcing Haley as
the replacement for Bruce Ar-
ians, Tomlin even offered ap-
proving nods and smiles at the
appropriate times.
And, yes, he also laughed
when Haley was asked about his
reputation as someone who has
had difficulty getting along with
co-workers.
As an offensive coordinator,
he brings a wealth of knowledge
and experience, Tomlin said.
But he also brings intangibles I
really value.
Time will tell.
Amid reports that Steelers
president Art Rooney II orches-
trated the departure of Arians
andpushedfor Haleytobehis re-
placement above Tomlins wish-
es, Tomlin made it a point to
mentionhewas theoneconduct-
ing the interviews for Arians re-
placement.
WhenI startedthis process of
exploring potential coordina-
tors, I talkedtoalot of peopleand
dida lot of research, andI was re-
ally impressed by him, Tomlin
said. Not onlybyhisresumeand
his experience, but alsohis genu-
ine love for the Pittsburgh Steel-
ers. That wasauniqueelement of
it for me, one Ive been attracted
tointhepast, tobequitehonest.
A15-year NFL coaching veter-
an, Haley stressed his ties to the
Steelersorganizationandhisrev-
erence for its tradition. The son
of former Steelers director of
player personnel Dick Haley
reminisced about growing up a
teamball boy.
All of my early memories in
life somehow, Haley said, re-
volved around the Steelers.
Im just very grateful coach
Tomlin and the Rooney family
thought enough of me to have
me in here to help be part of con-
tinued greatness. In my mind,
this is the greatest organization
in the NFL and the greatest
team, andthat all comesfromthe
heart.
Haley, 44, was fired by Kansas
City onDec. 13, after going19-26
in two-plus seasons with the
Chiefs, leading themto the 2010
AFCWest title. He finishedthird
in AP coach of the year voting
that season with the leagues top
rushing offense.
As offensivecoordinator of the
Arizona Cardinals two years pri-
or to that, Haleys offense was
second in the NFL in passing.

When Chris Doleman got the
news that he was headed to the
Pro Football Hall of Fame, he
said he went numb and didnt
hear the names of the players
who were called after him.
It still hasnt sunk in nearly a
week later.
Imstill tryingtoget a feel for
what all this means, the former
Minnesota Vikings defensive
end said Thursday. You really
cant get your arms around it.
Doleman spent 10 of his 15
NFL seasons in Minnesota, in-
cluding the first nine after the
Vikings drafted him in the first
round out of Pittsburgh in1985.
He also played two years in At-
lanta and three in San Francisco
before coming back to end his
career with the Vikings in 1999.
Doleman is fourth on the
NFLs career list with 150 1/2
sacks. Hehad21in1989, theVik-
ings single-season record until
this season when Jared Allen
broke it in the final game.
He was the type of player
who took over games, dominat-
ed games, said Paul Wiggin,
who was Dolemans first defen-
sive line coach with the Vikings.
Doleman was drafted as a li-
nebacker, but made the switch
to defensive end in his second
season. Playing on a line with
Keith Millard, Henry Thomas
and Al Noga, Doleman flour-
ished, usinganuncommoncom-
bination of size and speed to
overwhelm offensive tackles.
If youve got a goose that lays
golden eggs, you dont mess
with the goose, Wiggin said.
This guy had wonderful skills
and I learned more from him
than he ever
learned from
me because he
had the ability
to do so many
things that
were special.
Doleman
had at least 11
sacks in eight seasons and even
had an impressive eight in his fi-
nal year in the league at the age
of 38.
When I moved to that posi-
tion, it felt like home, he said.
But it took Doleman seven
years of eligibility before he fi-
nally got the call for Canton. He
was a semifinalist in his first few
years of eligibility, was not
among the finalists considered
last year in Dallas, then finally
broke through this year in Indi-
anapolis.
I know that I appreciate it
more nowthan I would have ap-
preciated it when I was, lets just
say 38 or 40 years old, said Do-
leman, who will turn 51in Octo-
ber. Youre just much more ma-
ture. You know what all this
means and you know where
youre going in your life.
His 21-year-old son Evan will
introduce him at the induction
ceremony in August, and both
have been trying to get a handle
on the enormity of the event.
Chris Doleman said that its
been a whirlwind ever since he
got the news on Saturday. Hes
been flying around the country
to various planning meetings,
doing interviews until his voice
wouldnt work anymore and try-
ing to figure out who will be on
the guest list.
And then there were the
phone calls, emails and text
messages he received on Satur-
day night.
Doleman expects to one day
be joined by Vikings teammate
Cris Carter, who was not voted
in after being named a finalist
for the fourth year in a row.
Doleman still giddy
over Hall of Fame
Former defensive end says
he hasnt quite grasped the
magnitude of the honor.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Lan-
don Cassill has a job for the Day-
tona 500 for the first time in his
career.
Cassill saidThursday hes been
hired to drive for a teamthat pur-
chased assets and last years
points from the now defunct Red
Bull Racing team. Cassill will
drive the No. 83 Toyota, he said,
and the points Brian Vickers
earned in that car last year guar-
antee Cassill a spot in the first
five races of the season.
Cassill said he has a deal with
the new team to drive all year.
Its my first time going into a
NASCAR season with a signed
deal knowing Im going to be in
the car every week, Cassill said.
Its my first time attempting the
Daytona 500 wait, I amlocked
into the Daytona 500. Thats a
pretty big dream came true.
Doug Richert will be the crew
chief for the No. 83 team, which
is being fielded by investors who
had previously backed TRG Mo-
torsports. Cassill said the owners
will announce the team name
and sponsorship in the coming
days.
Cassill has been working the
NASCAR garages since he was
17, and five years later, his search
for something steady has finally
ended. Hes made 33 starts in the
second-tier Nationwide Series
since 2007, and has made 48
Sprint Cup Series starts over the
last two seasons. His best finish
was 12th at Michigan last season.
Cassill was originally planning
to drive a start-and-park car for
Front RowMotorsports whenthe
opportunity with this new team
was offered to him.
Front Row had given him a
clause to leave the team if he
found a full-time ride.

defensive end Dave Tollef-
son, defensive tackle Rocky
Bernard, cornerback Terrell
Thomas and safety Deon
Grant are among the key
players that could test free
agency.
Manningham, wholost his
starting job to Pro Bowl
wideout Victor Cruz, could
get plenty of attentiononthe
open market after making a
sensational 38-yard catch on
the Giants go-ahead drive in
the fourth quarter against
the Patriots.
We try to make goodfoot-
ball decisions, Reese said.
It would be great to make
splashy moves in the offsea-
son, but our goal is to make
good football decisions and
thats what wetrytodoevery
year. We dont just think
about our personnel for the
current year. We think a cou-
ple years down the line and
thats important.
Oneof thetopoffseasonis-
sues involves Osi Umenyio-
ras contract situation. The
two-timeProBowl defensive
end was a training camp
holdout last summer, and
hadharshwords for Reeseaf-
ter not getting a contract ex-
tension.
Umenyiora is slated to
earn$3.975 millionnext sea-
son in the final year of a sev-
en-year deal he signed in
2005. He had nine sacks in
nine games in2011.
Wereintheearlystagesof
the evaluation, Reese said.
Osi is under contract. Well
discuss everything as a staff
and well discuss all issues
that could possibly come up
for us andwell comeupwith
a game plan. Well move on,
day by day, and see how
things work out for us.
Reesesaidheexpectstight
ends Jake Ballard and Travis
Beckum to start the season
on the physically unable to
perform list. Both players
tore knee ligaments in the
Super Bowl.
Reese praised the teams

ed some of those players

LAS VEGAS UFC wel-
terweight Nick Diaz tested
positive for marijuana after
his loss to Carlos Condit on
Saturday night and faces
disciplinary action, includ-
ing a possible suspension
and fine, the head of the
Nevada Athletic Commis-
sion said Thursday.
Keith Kizer, the commis-
sions executive director,
said Diazs license was tem-
porarily suspended and he
will have 20 days to re-
spond to allegations that a
urine sample submitted af-
ter the fight tested positive
for marijuana metabolites.
Well give Nick ample
opportunity to provide any
defense, if any, that he
wants to, Kizer said.
UFC officials had no im-
mediate comment, though
the organizations presi-
dent, Dana White, said on
Twitter on Wednesday that
Condit was set to fight Diaz
again in a rematch of the
co-main event at UFC 143.
Condit won the interim
welterweight title and a
shot at fighting Georges St-
Pierre.
Diaz was visibly upset at
the loss in the close fight
and hinted at retirement.

AUSTIN, Texas As far as
Lance Armstrong is concerned,
its all over.
The stress, the waiting, the
whispers about whether he
doped during his stellar cycling
career, all of it ended when af-
ter nearly two years federal
prosecutors closed an investiga-
tion of him last week without
bringing any charges.
Imhappy. Imgladits behind
me, ArmstrongtoldTheAssoci-
ated Press on Thursday in his
first interview since prosecutors
announced they were dropping
the case.
The seven-time Tour de
France winner said he remained
confident he wouldnot be indict-
ed, but admitted the weight of
the long investigation took a toll
on him personally.
Its not a pleasant experience
... It was difficult at times, he
said. But I was confident that
we would always end up in this
place.
After speaking with the AP,
Armstrong participated in a tele-
conference with media covering
this weekends triathlon in Pana-
ma City, Panama, where he is
scheduled to compete.
For the now 40-year-old Arm-
strong, the federal governments
decision should put a stop to any
allegations or rumors about per-
formance-enhancing drug use
during his career.
Its over, he said. Im mov-
ing on.
Armstrong maintains he has
never failed a drug test, but he
nonetheless became the focus of
investigators attention after for-
mer teammates Floyd Landis ac-
cused him in 2010 of participa-
ting in a doping program.
Landis was stripped of his
2006 Tour title after failing a
drug test. Armstrong won every
Tour from1999-2005.
Afederal grand jury in Los An-
geles lookedat whether a doping
program was established for
Armstrongs teamwhile, at least
part of the time, it received gov-
ernment sponsorship from the
U.S. Postal Service.
U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr.
announced last Friday his office
had closed the case but did not
give a reason. The World Anti-
Doping Agency followed up this
week by urging the U.S. govern-
ment to quickly hand over evi-
dence collected in the investiga-
tion.
I dont want to get bogged
down with that. Im not con-
cerned with that. Im not going
to worry about that, Armstrong
said.
Armstrong, who has been
known to attack his critics in the
media and on Twitter, had only
issued a muted written state-
ment in response to the end of
the investigation when the deci-
sion was first announced.
He was reluctant to talk much
more about it on Thursday, but
said he had a quiet celebration
with his family when the investi-
gation was closed.
Although Armstrong was con-
vinced that he would not be in-
dicted, the cyclist said he was
ready tofight a costly legal battle
if he was.
Armstrong said hell turn his
attention in 2012 to competing
in Ironman triathlons and sup-
porting the California Cancer
Research Act, a proposal to in-
crease taxes on cigarettes by $1a
packtoraise more than$500mil-
lion a year.

Lance Armstrong, shown at the 2011 Xterra Nationals triathlon
at Snowbasin Ski Resort, near Ogden, Utah, said he is relieved
the federal investigation into doping allegations has ended, and
said he always stayed confident he would not be charged.

GENEVA Sports highest
court banned 1997 Tour de
France winner JanUllrichfor two
years on Thursday and stripped
himof his third-place finishinthe
2005 race for blood doping.
The Court of Arbitration for
Sport ruled that the 38-year-old
German, who retired in 2007,
was fully engaged inthe doping
program of Spanish doctor Eufe-
miano Fuentes that was exposed
in the 2006 Operation Puerto
probe.
The CAS panel came to the
conclusion that Jan Ullrich en-
gaged at least in blood doping in
violation of ... anti-doping rules,
the court said.
Ullrichs suspension comes
three days after CAS banned Al-
berto Contador for two years and
stripped him of his 2010 Tour ti-
tle for doping. A U.S. federal in-
vestigation into alleged doping
involving seven-time Tour win-
ner Lance Armstrong and his
teammates was dropped Friday.
Ullrich is banned from cycling
through August 21, 2013, and all
his results fromMay1, 2005, until
his retirement are annulled. Ull-
rich must also pay $10,970 to-
ward the International Cycling
Unions legal costs.
It is established that Jan Ull-
rich was fully engaged with Dr.
(Eufemiano) Fuentess doping
program at least from that date,
the court said.
Alongwithhis loss of a podium
placement in the 2005 Tour,
which was won by Armstrong,
Ullrichwill also be strippedof his
victory in the 2006 Tour de
Suisse.
Spanish rider Francisco Man-
cebo, who was also implicated in
the Puerto investigation, moves
up from fourth to third in the
2005 Tour.

MURRAY, Ky. Robert Co-

rebounds to lead Tennessee
State to a 72-68 victory over No.
9 Murray State on Thursday
night, handing the Racers their
first loss of the season.
Isaiah Canaan had 31 points
and six rebounds for Murray
State (23-1, 11-1 Ohio Valley
Conference), which was the last
unbeaten team in Division I.
Murray State has won the last
eight meetings against Ten-
nessee State (16-10, 9-4) dating
to 2008-09.
Covington hit a 3-pointer with
4 minutes left that gave Ten-
nessee State a 65-62 lead.
The Tigers led 69-68 when a
turnover gave Murray State the
ball with 11.2 seconds to play.
Tennessee State stole the in-
bounds pass. Covington was
fouled with 9.7 seconds left but
he missed both free throws.
Canaan turned the ball over
and committed a foul with 3.5
seconds to play. Kenny Moore
made two free throws to make it
a three-point lead.
Murray State again turned the
ball over on a long inbounds
pass and Jordan Cyphers made
one of two free throws to seal
the upset.

Taylor scored 27 points for his

half while the Gophers (17-8,

But that dogged Wisconsin
defense came back in the over-
time even though the Badgers
shooting touch didnt.
Ryan Evans had 17 points and
11 rebounds for Wisconsin,
which went 15 for 17 from the
free throw line in overtime.
Rodney Williams and Andre
Hollins guided a frantic come-
back by the Gophers in the final
minutes of regulation after they
fell behind 49-36. The Badgers
made only one basket over the
last 9

2 minutes of the second
half, a putback by Jared Berg-
gren with 7:44 remaining.

STARKVILLE, Miss. Ar-
nett Moultrie scored 18 points,
Dee Bost dished a career-high 13
assists and No. 20 Mississippi
State easily beat rival Mississip-
pi.
It was another efficient per-
formance for the 6-foot-11 Moul-
trie, who was 9 of 14 from the
field. Moultrie had plenty of
easy looks thanks to several nice
passes from Bost, who had eight
assists in the first half as the
Bulldogs built a 40-27 lead.
Indiana 84, Illinois 71
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
Cody Zeller scored 22 points
and Victor Oladipo had 18 to
lead No. 23 Indiana past Illinois
84-71 on Thursday night.
The Hoosiers (19-6, 7-6 Big
Ten) have won three of four.
D.J. Richardson had 19 points
and Meyers Leonard added 17
for Illinois (16-8, 5-6), which has
lost five straight in Bloomington
when the Hoosiers are ranked.
The Illini also failed to take
their first lead in the series since
1975.

Murray State suffers first loss
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.
Twenty months later, Dustin
Johnson finally hit the drive he
wanted at Pebble Beach. Ten
years later, Tiger Woods must
have wondered what kept him
away from the Pebble Beach Na-
tional Pro-Am.
On a spectacular day of scen-
ery and scoring, Johnson blasted
a tee shot onthe thirdhole at Peb-
ble Beach and then pitched in for
eagle from41yards in front of the
green. Headdedanother eagleon
his way to a 9-under 63 and a
three-way tie atop the leader-
board Thursday.
Woods was five shots topar out
of the lead, a solid start to his
PGA Tour season. He had six
birdies ina4-under 68at Spyglass
Hill, the fourth-best score on that
course. Spyglass was hardest of
the three courses, though not by
much. The weather was so pure
that all three courses played
about one shot under par.
Charlie Wi was over at Monte-
reyPeninsula andhada shot at 59
without ever knowing it. Wi was
8 under after a tap-in birdie on
the 13th hole, and needed only
three birdies inthe last five holes.
Trouble is, he had no idea the
Shore Course was a 70. He made
one more birdie and had a 9-un-
der 61.
I was looking at the scorecard
like, Whats the par here? I did
not know it was a par 70, Wi
said. That 59 never crossed my
mind. Not once.
Joining them was former U.S.
Amateur Danny Lee, whoholeda
bunker shot for eagle at No. 2 and
holed out from the 11th fairway
with a wedge for another eagle to
match Johnson at 9-under 63.
Johnsonis turningintohis gen-
erations Prince of Pebble. He
won the AT&TPebble Beach Na-
tional Pro-Am in consecutive
years, and then had a three-shot
lead at Pebble in the U.S. Open
two years ago until he shot 82 in
the final round. On the third hole
of that round, he hit driver left in-
to the bushes for a lost ball and
made double bogey.
On Thursday, he smashed a
driver nearly 340 yards over the
trees to just short of the green,
setting up eagle. Even now, he
still thinks about that tee shot in
the U.S. Open. Walking off the
tee, he said to caddie Bobby
Brown, I could have used that in
the U.S. Open.
Walking off that hole, I told
Bob, This hole owes me a few
more than just that one.
Johnson overpowered the par
5s at Pebble Beach, the secret to
playingthat course well. He hada
6-iron for his second shot at the
par-5 second for an easy birdie,
holed a 65-foot eagle putt on the
sixth hole, got up and down from
the bunker just short of the 14th
for birdie, then cringed when his
40-foot eagle attempt on the 18th
just turned away.
Woods made his share, too.
He opened with consecutive
birdies, stuffing his approach on
No. 10 and two-putting for birdie
on the par-5 11th. He also holed a
downhill, 8-foot birdieputt onthe
17th that was good enough to
elicit a small fist pump, and from
behindthepar-5openinghole, hit
a flop shot to 7 feet and made
that.
One of his two bogeys came on
theshort par-4fourth, withashal-
low green set among sand dunes
and ice plant at a diagonal angle.
Instead of going toward the mid-
dle of the green and letting the
slope take the ball to the hole,
Woods went at the flag. The ball
bounced hard over the green and
into a sandy patch of dunes.

NHL-best 36th goal of the
season in the first period and
added an assist for Tampa
Bay, which has lost three of

Mortgage relief OKd
A landmark settlement with the
nations biggest mortgage lenders over
foreclosure abuses will deliver about
$266 million in aid to Pennsylvania for
struggling homeowners or people who
lost their homes, state Attorney Gener-
al Linda Kelly said Thursday.
Pennsylvania and 48 other states
joined the $25 billion settlement. The
money will help homeowners facing
foreclosure, borrowers who lost their
homes and people who owe more than
their homes are worth, Kelly said.
The deal applies only to privately
held mortgages issued from 2008
through 2011.
Groupon stock slammed
Groupon had a lot to prove with its
first earnings report as a public compa-
ny. The 14 percent slide in its stock
Thursday suggests investors wanted
more.
The online deals site on Wednesday
reported sharply higher fourth-quarter
revenue that surpassed Wall Streets
expectations.
But a revenue forecast of $510 mil-
lion to $550 million for the current
quarter means Groupon expects sales
to grow by about 5 percent in the first
three months of this year. By that same
measure, revenue grew by a double-
digit percentage in each quarter of
2011.
2 Ford execs will retire
Two key leaders in Fords remarkable
turnaround are retiring.
Lewis Booth, chief financial officer,
and Derrick Kuzak, product devel-
opment chief, will leave the company
April 1.
The moves, in the works for months,
raised questions about how long CEO
Alan Mulally, 66, will stay in his job
and whether Ford can continue its
renaissance under new executives.
Kuzak, 60, and Booth, 63, each
served more than three decades with
the Dearborn, Mich., company.
China car sales plummet
Car sales in the worlds biggest auto
market fell 24 percent in January from
a year earlier. The China Association of
Automobile Manufacturers said that
1.16 million passenger cars were sold in
January, down from a monthly record
1.5 million a year earlier.
Chinas weeklong Lunar New Year
holiday usually falls in February. It
began in mid-January this year, skew-
ing year-over-year comparisons.

WASHINGTON The number of
people seeking unemployment aid
neared a four-year lowlast week, a pos-
itive sign that strong hiring could con-
tinue in the coming months.
The Labor Department said Thurs-
day that weekly applications for unem-
ployment benefits fell 15,000 to a sea-
sonally adjusted 358,000. Thats the
second-lowest level since April 2008.
The four-week average, a less vola-
tile measure, fell to 366,250, also the
lowest in nearly four years. The en-
couraging U.S. employment news con-
tinues, Jennifer Lee, an economist at
BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a note
to clients. The job market started
February off on a sturdy footing.
When applications fall consistently
below 375,000, it generally signals
that hiring is strong enough to lower
the unemployment rate.
Employers added a net 243,000 jobs
in January, the biggest gain in nine
months. The unemployment rate fell
for the fifth straight month to 8.3 per-
cent, the lowest in nearly three years.
The increased hiring in part reflects
faster economic growth. The economy
expanded at an annual rate of 2.8 per-
cent in the final three months of last
year a full percentage point higher
than the previous quarter.
Applications are also falling because
companies are laying off fewer work-
ers. A separate report from the Labor
Department, released earlier this
week, showed that job cuts have fallen
below pre-recession levels. Layoffs
dropped last year to the lowest annual
total in the 10 years the government
has tracked the data.
Most economists expect growth
will slow a bit in the January-March
quarter, because companies wont
need to rebuild their stockpiles of
goods as much as they did in the win-
ter.
The job market has a long way to go
before it fully recovers from the dam-
age of the Great Recession. Nearly 13
million people remain unemployed,
and 8.3 percent unemployment is
painfully high.
Jobless aid applications near a 4-year low

OCHESTER, N.Y. East-
man Kodak Co. said Thurs-
day that it will stop mak-
ing digital cameras, pocket
video cameras and digital picture
frames, marking the end of an era for
the company that brought photogra-
phy to the masses more than a cen-
tury ago.
Founded by George Eastman in
1880, Kodak was known all over the
world for its Brownie and Instamatic
cameras and its yellow-and-red film
boxes. But the company was bat-
tered by Japanese competition in
the 1980s, and was then unable to
keep pace with the shift from film to
digital technology.
Kodak, which filed for bankruptcy
protection last month, said it will
phase out the product lines in the
first half of this year and look for
other companies to license its brand
for those products.
Its an especially poignant mo-
ment for Kodak. In 1975, using a
newtype of electronic sensor invent-
ed six years earlier at Bell Labs, a
Kodak engineer named Steven Sas-
son created the first digital camera.
It was a toaster-size prototype cap-
turing black-and-white images at a
resolution of 0.1 megapixels.
Through the 1990s, Kodak spent
about $4 billion developing the pho-
to technology inside most of todays
cellphones and digital devices. But a
reluctance to ease its heavy financial
reliance on film allowed rivals such
as Canon and Sony to rush into the
fast-emerging digital arena. The im-
mensely lucrative analog business
Kodak worried about undermining
was virtually erased in a decade by
the filmless photography it invent-
ed.
Kodak sees home photo printers,
high-speed commercial inkjet press-
es, workflow software and packag-
ing as the core of its future business.
Since 2005, the company has poured
hundreds of millions of dollars into
new lines of inkjet printers. Once
the digital camera business is
phased out, Kodak said its consum-
er business will focus on printing.

FRANKFURT, Germany More
than two years after it came clean about
its addiction to debt, Greece may finally
have begun a long and painful road to
recovery.
Greeces fractious political leaders
struck a deal Thursday to make deep
cuts in government jobs and spending
to help save the country from a default
that could shock the world financial sys-
tem.
The deal, under negotiation since Ju-
ly, is one of two critical steps Greece
must take to receive a (euro) 130 billion
($170 billion) bailout from other coun-
tries in Europe and around the globe. It
was announced by Greek Prime Minis-
ter Lucas Papademos office and will be
scrutinized during talks in Brussels be-
tween finance ministers from the 17
countries that use the euro.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang
Schaeuble said more work had to be
done to fulfill the conditions for a bai-
lout.
Inadditiontothe fiscal austerity man-
dated by the European Union, the Eu-
ropean Central Bank and the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund, Greece is close
to an agreement with private investors
who hold nearly two-thirds of its debt to
sharply reduce the countrys borrowing
costs.
Greece needs the bailout by March 20
so it will have enough money to redeem
(euro) 14.5 billion worth of bonds com-
ing due. If it doesnt make that payment,
it will be in default. Financial analysts
fear that could set off a chain reaction
similar to the financial meltdown trig-
gered by the collapse of investment
bank Lehman Brothers in the fall of
2008.
Greece remains in a deep recession.
Unemployment is 20.9 percent after the
economys thirdstraight year of decline.

After so many
days and weeks
with above aver-
age tempera-
tures and no
snow, winter
seems to be
making a come-
back. An area of
snow will move
in early tonight
ahead of a slow
moving cold
front, and by
mid-morning
tomorrow,
around 1 to, per-
haps, 2 inches of
new snow will
have accumulat-
ed. So, once
again, a relative-
ly small amount
but enough to
make the pave-
ment icy and to
remind us that
winter is still
alive and well.
And to reinforce
that fact, a cold
wave will settle
in during the day
Saturday, forcing
temperatures
down into the
teens by Sunday
morning.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Rain showers can be expected from the western Gulf Coast to the Tennessee
Valley today, while light snow is expected in the colder regions of the Great Lakes and portions of the
Midwest. A weak area of low pressure may also trigger showers and perhaps a few isolated thunder-
storms near the coastline of the Southeast.
