SCRANTON Aided by co-
conspirators, prominent local at-
torney Anthony Lupas used his
position of trust within the com-
munity to prey upon unsuspect-
inginvestors, bilkingthemout of
more than $6 million over an 18-
year period, federal prosecutors
allege in a new indictment filed
Tuesday.
Lupas, the
father of Lu-
zerne County
Judge David
Lupas, con-
vinced clients
to invest in a
purported
trust account
with the promise they would
earn 5 to 7 percent interest.
In reality, there was no trust
account and he diverted the
money for his personal use, ac-
cording to the indictment issued
Tuesday by a federal grand jury.
Lupas, 77, of Plains Township,
was originally indicted in March
on one count of mail fraud for al-
legedly stealing $246,000 from
one client. The new indictment
lists eight victims, who are not
identified, and charges Lupas
with 29 counts of mail fraud and
one count each of conspiracy to
commit mail fraud and conspir-
acy to commit money launder-
ing.
It also seeks forfeiture of $6
million.
The indictment also, for the
first time, reveals Lupas hadhelp
in perpetrating the alleged
scheme, which prosecutors say
began as early as November
1993.
According to the indictment:
Lupas was assisted by uniden-
tified co-conspirators who creat-
edfalsedocuments that depicted
checks he mailed to clients as be-
ing interest on their trust ac-
count. In reality, the money was
the product of a Ponzi scheme in
which Lupas used funds from
new investors to pay off existing
investors.
Many of the clients hadknown
Lupas for years, and trusted him
so completely that they never
even got paperwork attesting
that the purported trust fund ex-

County Correctional Facility
Warden Joseph Piazza con-
firmed he has contacted two
counties about possibly housing
Luzerne County inmates, but he
said the inquiry is not necessar-
ily an indication that employ-
ment cuts are forthcoming.
Piazza said he was asked by
County Manager Robert Law-
ton to explore the possibility of
moving inmates out, but that
inquiry was based on concerns
the county prison may become
overcrowded, in part due to a
new state law that may result in
more low-level offenders being
housed at county prisons in-
stead of state prisons.
Prison employees have ex-
pressed concern in recent weeks
over rumors the facility, which
lost 19 workers earlier this year,
would be targeted for additional
staffing cuts, said Tom Borum,
president of the Laborers Inter-
national Union of North Amer-
ica, Local 1310, which repre-
sents prison guards.

HARRISBURG Witnesses
at a hearing Tuesday on Penn-
sylvanias voter-identification
lawpainted a bleak landscape of
voters confused by the newpho-
to requirement, PennDOT offi-
cials dispensingmisinformation
and conflicting estimates of
howmany voters lack valid IDs.
The information is just not
getting out quick enough to en-
sure that voters know about the
law and understand how to
comply, testified John Jordan,
director of civic engagement for
the NAACP. Theres no way
that this can be done by the
Nov. 6 election, he said.
Jordans group is among the
plaintiffs in a Commonwealth
Court lawsuit seeking to pre-
vent the law from taking effect
as thefirst steptowardabroader
challenge of its constitutionali-
ty.
The hearing is expected to
stretch into a sixth day of testi-
mony today, and closing argu-
ments are scheduled for Thurs-
day. Judge Robert Simpson, a
Republican, has saidhe hopes to
issue a rulingduringthe weekof
Aug. 13.
The law, which the Republi-
can-controlled Legislature ap-
proved earlier this year without
any Democratic votes, requires
every voter to show a valid pho-
to ID. It is one of the nations
strictest IDlaws. It represents a
significant change from current
law, which requires only people
voting in a polling place for the
first time to showidentification,
includingnon-photodocuments
such as a utility bill or bank
statement.
The lawhas provoked a fierce
debate over voting rights as
Pennsylvania is poised to play a
potentially crucial role in the
presidential election. Demo-
crats accuse Republicans of try-
ing to tilt the election in favor of
GOP nominee-apparent Mitt
Romney.
Secretary of State Carol Ai-
chele defended her depart-
ments efforts to make Penn-
DOTIDs a drivers license or
a non-driver photo card the
standardfor complyingwiththe
new law, although a lawyer for
the plaintiffs said other forms of
ID also are valid and easier to
obtain for many voters.
Washington lawyer David
Gerschcitedresident IDs issued
by Pennsylvania care facilities
and student IDs issued by uni-
versities as examples of cards
that require less rigorous docu-
mentation than the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Transporta-
tion IDs, which require a Social
Security card and, in many
cases, a birth certificate.
Thats the problem with the
law, Gersch said.
Aichele said 91 percent of the
states 8.3 million voters already
have valid IDs and that the
PennDOT cards free to vot-
ers who lack other acceptable
IDs are the most useful
form of photo ID.
The plaintiffs contend that at
least 1 million voters do not
have valid IDs, but Aichele said
state officials believe the num-
ber is substantially less than
the 759,000 voters whose
names were not found in a com-
parison with a PennDOT data-
base.
We dont know, she said.
Several witnesses testified
that they recently visited local
PennDOT offices as part of a
project organized by the Penn-
sylvania Budget and Policy Cen-
ter, a progressive think tank in
Harrisburg, to find out howwell
prepared they were to help vot-
ers seeking ID cards.
Steve Jarrell of Chambers-
burgsaidhe waitedinline for 45
minutes to talk to an employee,
only to be told erroneously that
he would have to pay $13.50 for
a voting ID. He said there were
almost no signs or literature
about the new law.
Jordan said the National As-
sociation for the Advancement
of Colored People has held clin-
ics on the law in an attempt to
educate voters, but that repeat-
edchanges inthe process for ob-
taining IDs designed, ironi-
cally, to make the process easier
for voters have only com-
pounded the confusion.

SANTA ANA, Calif. A Uni-
versity of California professor
was held without bail Tuesday af-
ter prosecutors said they found
evidence he plotted to kill stu-
dents and administrators at a
high school where his son was
disciplined before committing
suicide.
Rainer Reinscheid, 48, an asso-
ciate professor of pharmaceuti-
cals at the University of Califor-
nia, Irvine, is charged with arson
for a series of five fires set earlier
this month at University High
School, a school administrators
house, and a nearby park, where
his son killed himself in the
spring.
After Reinscheids arrest last
week, authorities found emails
onhis cellphone describinga plot
to burn down the high school,
commit sexual assaults and pur-
chase weapons to murder school
officials and students there be-
fore killing himself, said Orange
County district attorney spokes-
woman Farrah Emami.
I canonlyat this point tell you,
he laid out in sufficient detail
plans to purchase guns and mur-
der lots of people, Deputy Dis-
trict Attorney Andrew Katz told
The Associated Press.
At a hearing Tuesday, a judge
denied Reinscheid bail and post-
poned his arraignment until Aug.
8 after he was charged with five
counts of arson, one count of at-
tempted arson and a misdemean-
or count of resisting or obstruct-
ing a police officer. If convicted,
he could get nearly 13 years in
prison.
Phone messages left for Rein-
scheids attorney Ron Cordova
and at a home number listed in
Reinscheids name were not im-
mediately returned.
His 14-year-old son had been a
student at University High in Ir-
vine and had been disciplined
this past spring before he com-
mitted suicide at a park preserve.
Prosecutors believe Rein-
scheid was acting alone but it
wasnt clear if he was targeting
anyone specifically.
After the emails were discov-
ered, Emami said Reinscheid,
who was free on bail, was arrest-
ed again.
The emails
by themselves
do not support
a criminal
charge but they
do support our
argument that
he should be
denied bail because hes danger-
ous Emami said.
Reinscheid has been a profes-
sor of pharmaceutical sciences at
UCIrvine, and has been there for
about 12 years, said a university
spokeswoman, who referred fur-
ther comment to authorities.
Authorities said Reinscheid is
believed to have set five fires and
tried to set another, using news-
papers, fireplace logs, a book and
other items to ignite them.
They said the fires were set on
the high school campus, in the
Mason Park Preserve, where his
son had died, and at the school
administrators home.
He was arrested at the park
preserve on July 24 when Irvine
police, who had stepped up pa-
trols in the area because of the
fires, said they saw him trying to
ignite another one.
Irvine Unified School District
Superintendent Terry Walker ex-
pressed gratitude to the citys po-
lice department for making the
arrest. He said district officials
would cooperate in any way they
could.
These are extremely disturb-
ing allegations, particularly as
they involve the potential safety
of both students and employees,
Walker said in a statement.
Ian Hanigan, a spokesman for
the Irvine Unified School Dis-
trict, said Reinscheids son,
whose name has not been re-
leased, was disciplined in March
for a theft in the student store,
and was punished with trash
pick-up duties at lunch.
It was a relatively minor of-
fense that didnt rise to suspen-
sion or expulsion, Hanigan said.
The teen committed suicide
shortly thereafter at the park,
which is adjacent to the high
school.
UC Irvine officials released a
statement tothecampus commu-
nity saying they take safety seri-
ously and are cooperating fully
with authorities.
The university would not re-
lease any specifics on Rein-
scheids status, citing employee
privacy policy, beyond saying he
remains employed as a professor.
No bail for professor

officials, students at H.S.

Reinscheid
evacuation of residents affected
by the flood of 1972 on Sept. 7,
2011.
Notice of the expected 41- to
42-foot crest of the rivers was
provided to borough officials by
5 p.m. Sept. 8 so that they could
place sand bags in areas certain
to be flooded, the suit states.
The rivers crested at a record
42.66 feet on Sept. 9.
Despite the communication
of the expected crest, the indi-
vidual defendants willfully, wan-
tonly and recklessly abandoned
their duties to Duryea residents,
ignoring an emergency plan that
required 5,000 sand bags in
place, together with flood
gates, one count in the lawsuit
states.
Sand bagging arrangements
should have started at noon, and
certainly no later than five when
it was confirmed that the rivers
would flood at 7 p.m. Seventy
tons of sand from rail cars of
sand was available on the day of
the flood. The rail cars full of
sand sat idle, as did 5,000 or
more empty sand bags, the suit
states.
The suit states that Mayor
Keith Moss and council were of-
SCRANTON More than 30
residents of the borough of Du-
ryea have filed a federal lawsuit
against the borough, its mayor,
other borough officials and two
sewer authorities, claiming they
failed to act properly to protect
the residents and their homes
and/or businesses from flood-
ing last fall.
Among the allegations is that
the officials failed to implement
and enforce an emergency ac-
tion plan after learning of immi-
nent flooding, thereby depriving
the plaintiffs of their property
and causing business losses.
The suit states Duryea offi-
cials were informed that the Lu-
zerne County Emergency Man-
agement Agency enlarged the
flood plain in Duryea in or
around February 2010 because
levees in the Wilkes-Barre area
were elevated to 44 feet. Be-
cause of that, if the Susquehanna
and Lackawanna rivers flooded,
the direction and amount of
flood water would have a much
greater impact on Duryea than
previously.
The suit also states the Lower
Lackawanna Sanitary Authority
and the EMAordered an evacua-
tion of residents of property in
the enlarged flood plain as of 11
a.m. Sept. 8, 2011, while Luzerne
County officials had ordered
fered as much sand as neces-
sary to prevent flooding by the
Sand and Gravel Co. in Duryea,
and a contractor from a neigh-
boring town (Dupont) offered
the use of payloaders and trucks,
but they didnot accept the offers
of assistance.
It also claims that Moss built a
dirt dike that eventually
caused flood damage to the resi-
dences of plaintiffs Paula Ward-
Boyko, Jason Matiko and Diane
Orlowski. Andit claims the Low-
er Lackawanna Valley Sanitary
Sewer Authority and the Duryea
Borough Sewer Authority failed
to close valves that would have
prevented sewage backup in the
flood. It also claims the borough
was previously offered a federal
grant to construct a levee but
took no action to accept it.
The suit states that 200 to 400
properties in the borough sus-
tained flood damage.
Named as defendants are
Moss, police Chief Nick Loh-
man, Borough Manager Lois
Morreale, Council Chairwoman
Audrey Marcinko, Councilman
in charge of civil defense Frank
Groblewski, the Lower Lacka-
wanna Valley Sanitary Sewer
Authority and the Duryea Bor-
ough Sewer Authority.
The plaintiffs are demanding
unspecified compensatory and
punitive damages.
Moss could not be reached for
comment Tuesday night.

SAN JOSE, Calif. Proposition 8
backers on Tuesday asked the U.S. Su-
preme Court to take up a challenge to
Californias voter-approved ban on
same-sex marriage.
In a legal brief, ProtectMarriage.com
asked the high court to overturn a rul-
ing earlier this year by the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the 9th Circuit, which
found the gay marriage ban unconstitu-
tional.
The legal maneuver was expected.
ProtectMarriage.comcalled the 9th Cir-
cuits 2-1 ruling "misguided" and asked
the Supreme Court to reinstate Proposi-
tion 8.
The 9th Circuit has agreed to leave
the law intact while the case continues
to unfold.
The gay marriage foes presented
their case as upholding a foundation of
civilization.
"Marriage between a man and a wom-
an has been the cornerstone of our so-
ciety for millenniums," said Andy Pug-
no, Proposition 8s general counsel.
"Prop. 8 simply continues what every
society has known and practiced: Chil-
dren and society are far better off when
traditional marriage is maintained," he
said in a news release.
The petition for a Supreme Court
hearing, he said, points out that "our
Constitution does not mandate the tra-
ditional definition of marriage, but nei-
ther does our Constitution condemn it.
Rather, it leaves the definition of
marriage in the hands of the people, to
be resolved through the democratic
process in each state."
A lead attorney for the group that
challenged Prop. 8s constitutionality
also saw a fundamental issue.
"The Supreme Court has long held
that the freedom to marry is one of the
most fundamental rights if not the
most fundamental right of all Amer-
icans," said co-counsel David Boies of
the group American Foundation for
Equal Rights.
"As we have said from the very begin-
ning of this case, the denial of that fun-
damental right seriously harms gay and
lesbian Americans and the children
they are raising."
On Feb. 7, the 9th Circuit upheld a
San Francisco federal judges August
2010 ruling that struck down Proposi-
tion 8 because it violated the equal pro-
tection rights of same-sex couples.
In its ruling, the 9th Circuit found
that Proposition 8, approved in 2008, vi-
olated the rights of same-sex couples
because it stripped away a previously
established right to marry in California.
About 18,000 couples married before
the law went into effect as a result of a
state Supreme Court ruling invalidat-
ing previous California laws banning
same-sex nuptials.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected
to decide whether to accept the case
when its next term resumes in the fall.
The high court is also weighing
whether to review two cases that chal-
lenge the legality of the federal Defense
of Marriage Act, which bars federal ben-
efits to same-sex couples.
Calif. anti-gay marriage group turns to high court

San Jose Mercury News
The nephewof Gore Vidal says
the author, playwright and com-
mentator has died in Los An-
geles.
Burr Steers says Vidal died at
his home in the Hollywood Hills
at about 6:45 p.m. Tuesday of
complications from pneumonia.
Steers said Vidal had been living
alone in the home and had been
sick for quite a while.
The acerbic Vidal was known
for such best-selling novels as
Burr and Myra Breckenridge,

WILKES-BARRE
Complaints name mayor
Bob Kadluboski, a frequent critic
of Mayor Tom Leighton and City
Council, filed two new private crimi-
nal complaints
against the mayor
and members of his
administration with
District Judge Rick
Cronauer on Mon-
day.
In one complaint,
Kadluboski alleges
Leighton allowed
members of his administration to use
gas and diesel fuel with no oversight.
They are unable to account for 4,449
gallons of gasoline and 1,131 gallons
of diesel delivered to Hollenback
Golf Course over a three-year period,
as reported by The Times Leader.
In the other, Kadluboski alleges
improper influence by public offi-
cial, racketeering, conflict of interest
and political corruption against
Leighton and former city adminis-
trator J.J. Murphy.
He claims Leighton used his posi-
tion as mayor to hire a law firm at
which Murphys brother, Patrick, is
employed as an attorney, as a con-
sultant to study the proposed sale of
parking facilities.

PITTSTONThe PittstonLi-
brarys $1.2 million expansion
took a giant step forward Tues-
day with the receipt of more
than $860,000 in loan and grant
funding from the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
The library hopes to break
ground in September on a
5,000-square-foot expansion
that will house a new childrens
wing, additional shelf space, a
craft room and a wired commu-
nity room
equippedwith
a smart board
and teleconfe-
rencing capa-
bility.
Im
thrilled, Li-
brary Director
Ann Hogya said after learning
of the award Tuesday. Weve
been waiting for it, and I cant
wait to start the expansion
and provide more services for
the community.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scran-
ton, announced Tuesday that
Pittston will receive a $105,600
grant and a $761,900 loan
through the USDAs rural devel-
opment program for the pro-
ject.
Pittstons library expansion
will greatly benefit the commu-
nity, better enabling our chil-
dren to enjoy the many educa-
tional opportunities the library
has to offer, Casey said in a
statement.
Pittston City Manager Joe
Moskovitz said the loan portion
of the federal funding comes
with a 3.5 percent interest rate
and a 40-year repayment sched-
ule, and the library has agreed
to make scheduled repayments
from its budget.
The city does provide about
$40,000 in annual funding to
the library from property tax
revenue, he added.
Moskovitz said the city and
its elected leaders see the li-
brary as a vital and important
community asset and an inte-
gral part of the overall revital-
ization of downtown Pittston.
These are the types of pro-
jects that the city invests in, he
said. So when you look at our
debt load, its for projects like
the library.
Moskovitz saidthe city hopes
to enlarge the librarys footprint
in the heart of Pittstons down-
town and expand its promi-
nence as a community center.
Next year the city plans to in-
vest $40,000fromits state Com-
munity Development Block
Grant to build a playground
next to the library and is dis-
cussing plans with the Pittston

ASHLEY The boroughs po-
lice chief and sergeant are out
and the new officer in charge
and his six underlings are all
part-time, council decided
Monday night, despite protests
from residents.
Council voted 4-1 Monday to
demote Chief Phillip Collotty,
citing his failure to adhere to
the department budget and
other reasons.
John Bell, a part-time Ashley
officer since November, was
named officer in charge. Bell
said he has six part-time offi-
cers under him, each working
32 hours per week or less.
Some of them have other
jobs, Bell said Tuesday.
Collotty is still working as a
part-time officer, Bell said.
Sgt. Joe McGlynn the only
full-time officer submitted his
letter of retirement near the
end of the meeting and council
voted to accept it.
Councilman Don Sipple, the
only member to vote against
Collottys demotion and Bells
appointment, said he did so be-
cause he had some issues that
I wasnt convinced (Bell) was
the right person for the job. He
declined to discuss those is-
sues.
Sipple saidhe abstainedfrom
voting on McGlynns retire-
ment because McGlynn is his
brother-in-law. Regarding his
vote against demoting Collotty,
Ashley
demotes
its chief
of police

EXETER TWP. -- The Lehigh
Valley/Coxton Railroad Bridge
is crumbling, and Luzerne
County officials want it re-
moved before it falls into the
Susquehanna River.
The bridge is owned by Leo
A. Glodzik, owner of LAG Tow-
ing, who purchased it from the
Redevelopment Authority of
Luzerne County in 2008 for
$500.
Yes, Im concerned it might
collapse. The last thing I needis
a bridge sitting in the middle of
the river during a high water
event, said Jim Brozena, exec-
utive director of the Luzerne
County Flood Protection Au-
thority. I was surprised it sur-
vivedthe September highwater
levels.
Glodzik said he bought the
bridge intending to dismantle it
andsell it for scrap. He saidhe is
negotiating a deal to sell the
bridge to a scrap company.
Ive had engineers inspect
the bridge; its not going to fall,
Glodzik said. That bridge will
be there a hundred years from
now.
Brozena said a causeway
would have to be built out into
the river to remove the bridge.
Once a causeway was built, the
bridge couldbe demolishedone
half at a time. Brozena said the
cost of building a causeway
could be high.
Evenif it was soldfor scrap, I
dont see how you could make
much money, he said.

ment director and acting direc-

ce cream servers at The Lands at
Hillside Farms wanted to give lo-
cal field hockey star Paige Selen-
ski a sweet sendoff to the London
Olympics.
On Monday night, servers Amanda
Kocher andKirby Szalkowski foundthe
perfect solution: a red, white and blue
sundae made with vanilla ice cream,
strawberry and blueberry topping,
whipped cream and a cherry on top.
We just kept it simple, and called it
The Paige, Kocher said.
Inthis age of lightning-fast communi-
cation, it didnt take long for word to
cross the Atlantic.
Another server,
Elaina Tomasselli,
tweeted a picture of a
message board adver-
tising the sundae to
Selenski, a Dallas
High School graduate
fromShavertown who
plays striker for TeamU.S.A. field hock-
ey.
No way?! Selenski replied. I love
Hillside.
We were really excited about it,
Kocher said. Sherespondedsayingshe
loved it, so it was kind of cool, knowing
that we made it but she knew about it
and liked it.
They were all psyched, Hillside
spokeswoman Suzanne Kelly added.
Its hard to say if the sundae provided
any extra inspiration, but Selenski
played a second strong game against
Argentina on Tuesday, generating a
penalty corner with a shot in the 41st
minute.
The underdog U.S. squad topped Ar-
gentina, ranked number 2 in the world,
1-0, moving the U.S. to a 1-1 record in
Group B play.

ILKES-
BARRE -- The
robot de-
signed by Amber Gesek
and Ashton Balliet had
no trouble knocking the
fruit off the trees, but it
wasnt particularly useful
when it ran over the fruit
and crashed into the
trees.
We could move the
trees, Amber suggested.
No, you cant move
thetrees, Wilkes Univer-
sity math instructor Peg-
gy Sullivan warned.
Amber and Ashton 13-
year-olds from Wyoming Val-
ley West and Crestwood mid-
dle schools, respectively
were participating in Wilkes
annual Women Empowered
by Science summer camp,
designed to spark middle
school girls interest in sci-
ence studies and careers.
About 72 students from15
area middle schools work all
week in labs involving biolo-
gy, chemistry, environmental
engineering, pharmacy,
physics androbotics, as inLe-
go robots.
The robots start with a ba-
sic design but can be modi-
fied, changing the treads to
wheels, say, or adding things
like arms, plows, and small
bins to push, catch and carry
items on a miniature pseudo-
city snapped together out of
Legos. Students plug the ro-
bot into a computer to pro-
gram the speed of its motors
and how long they run to ac-
complish each task.
The tasks: Lowering a
drawbridge, tripping a
switch to make a windmill
spin, hauling building suppli-
es to a construction site,
clearing rocks from a soccer
field, moving and stacking
modular housing units and
that food gathering thing
that was stumping Amber
and Ashton.
They popped out of the
testing room and back to the
construction and program-
ming room, trying a variety
of sizes and configurations of
what old-school Lego-ma-
niacs would recognize as
Technics pieces, various
shaped beams containing
holes that can be snapped to-
gether with different pins
and hooked up to cogs and
other machine-style plastic
bits.
The two said they never
played with Legos until com-
ing to camp and teaming up
last year. Their status as
camp veterans explains how
they handled the complex
Lego do-dads with consider-
able deftness.
This will work! Amber
insisted after finagling a new
armtoharvest the foodrings.
Are you sure? Ashton
asked.
Im sure, and Im right!
Amber said with a chuckle.
Alas, it didnt. The robot
continued to knock the
fruit down but not gather
it.
So, are they going to be sci-
entists when they grow up?
I want to be a pharma-
cist, Amber replied.
So do I, Ashton echoed.
I didnt know that! Am-
ber said with obvious, wide-
eyed surprise.

munity gatherings.
In addition to providing space
for local businesses and commu-
nity groups to meet, the expan-
sion also will offer room for a
community initiative Hogya
called vitally important for Pitt-
stons future.
The community room will al-
sohelpus toexpandthe intergen-
erational parenting program for
grandparents raising grandchil-
dren, she said.
The program offers mentoring

of young childreninthe realms of
education, health, finance and
the law.
The remaining $330,000 need-
ed to fund the library expansion
will come from the librarys en-
dowment, Moskovitz said. Ho-
gya said the library has applied
for several additional foundation
grants and is hosting fundraisers
to help raise additional money.
On Sept. 24 the library will
host the A Taste of Greater Pitt-
ston foodandwine festival onits

WILKES-BARRE A city woman was
charged Tuesday with stabbing her live-in
boyfriend after he allegedly refused to buy
crack cocaine for her.
Melissa Major of East Northampton
Street was arraigned on charges of aggra-
vated and simple assault for allegedly stab-
bing Rosie Warren in his side around 6:30
a.m. Tuesday.
According to an arrest affidavit:
Warren told police he was at a bar when
he received several text messages fromMa-
jor, asking him to purchase crack cocaine
for her. When Warren returned home, Ma-
jor became upset because he did not bring
her the drug and stabbed him with a steak
knife as he sat at the kitchen table.
Major admitted she stabbed Warren, but
claimed she did so in self-defense after he
attacked her with a frying pan. Police said
they searched the apartment and did not
see any frying pan out of place. They also
did not notice any injuries on Major or any
sign of a struggle.
Police interviewedWarrenat anarea hos-
pital and he showed them text messages
Major sent asking him to buy crack.
Major was arraigned in Central Court in
Wilkes-Barre and remanded to the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for lack of
$25,000 straight bail.

Village bilked of $260K
A mother and daughter have been
charged with stealing some $260,000
from a southwest Ohio village, alleged-
ly pocketing traffic fines being paid in
an Interstate 75 community long reput-
ed to be a speed trap, a prosecutor said
Tuesday.
Former Arlington Heights employees
Donna Covert, 52, and Laura Jarvis, 32,
were each indicted by a Hamilton
County grand jury on two counts of
theft in office, along with two counts of
tampering with records and one prop-
erty-misuse count.
Prosecutors say the thefts, which
have been under investigation for
about two years, were carried out in
2007-2010. An Ohio auditors report
studying 2008-2009 village records last
year found lack of close record keeping
on traffic tickets and fines, or of depos-
its of money paid in fines
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe
Deters suggested that the tiny village
should be dissolved, saying Arlington
Heights and its some 800 people could
be absorbed by surrounding municipal-
ities.

Bomb attacks kill 21
A double bombing struck at an up-

day, killing at least 21 even though
police stopped three attackers storm-
ing a counterterror unit, as the govern-
ment strained to control al-Qaida-based
chaos gripping the country.
The bloody explosions came on the
same day that Iraqs government dis-
cussed security issues with Iran, a
measure of Tehrans growing influence.
The violence brought the July death
toll to 245 people killed in shootings
and bombings, approaching the car-
nage in January, when 255 people were
killed following the U.S. pullout.
Al-Qaida has claimed responsibility
for nearly all the attacks.

BEIRUTFoodandcookinggas were
in short supply and power cuts plunged
homes into darkness as soldiers and re-
bels battled Tuesday to tip the scales in
the fight for Aleppo, Syrias largest city
and the current focus of its civil war.
Life for Aleppos 3 million residents
was becoming increasingly unbearable
as a military siege entered its 11th day.
While rebels seized two police stations,
Syrian ground forces pummeled the op-
position strongholds of Salaheddine and
Seif al-Dawla in the citys southwest, ac-
tivists said. Government helicopters also
pounded those neighborhoods.
The regime couldnt enter the neigh-
borhoods so they were shelling from a
distance with helicopters and artillery,
said Mohammed Nabehan, who fled
Aleppo for the Kilis refugee camp just
across the Turkish border some 30 miles
away.
Nabehanandothers saidit was a strug-
gle to find food.
Thehumanitariansituationhereis ve-
ry bad, Mohammed Saeed, an activist
living in the city, told The Associated
Press by Skype. There is not enough
food and people are trying to leave. We
really need support from the outside.
There is random shelling against civil-
ians, he added. The city has pretty
much run out of cooking gas, so people
are cooking on open flames or with elec-
tricity, which cuts out a lot.
Days of shellinghaveforcedmanycivil-
ians to flee to other neighborhoods or
even escape the city altogether. The U.N.
saidSundaythat 200,000hadleft Aleppo.
As the bloodshed mounted, the Arab
League chief accused President Bashar
Assads regime of atrocities.
The massacres that are happening in
Aleppo and other places in Syria amount
to war crimes that are punishable under
international law, Arab League Secreta-
ry-General Nabil Elaraby said in Cairo.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
said Washington is not contemplating
any unilateral steps in Syria. There are
fears that military intervention could ex-
acerbate the war. Syrias close ties to Iran
andthe Islamic militant groupHezbollah
inLebanonmeanthat the conflict has the
potential to draw in the countrys neigh-
bors.
The battle for Aleppo is among the
most significant of the 17-month-old Syr-
ian uprising. If the regime loses its grip
on Aleppo, that could be a tipping point
in the civil war.
It remains the case that for its own le-
gitimacy and credibility, the Syrian gov-
ernment must regain control of Aleppo,
said David Hartwell, senior Middle East
analyst at the defense and intelligence
group IHS Janes.
Shortages mount for Syrians
Aleppo running low on food amid siege
By ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY
Associated Press
ATLANTAIt sounds like an
unfolding epidemic: A decade
ago, virtually no one in the U.S.
seemed to have a problem eating
gluten in bread and other foods.
Now, millions do.
Gluten-free products are flying
off grocery shelves, and restau-
rants are boasting of meals with
no gluten. Celebrities on TV talk
shows chat about the digestive
discomfort they blame on the
wheat protein they now shun.
Some churches even offer gluten-
free Communion wafers.
I dont know whether theres
more people getting this or that
more people are noticing they
have a problem, said the Rev. Ri-
chard Allen, pastor at Mamaro-
neck United Methodist Church,
north of New York City.
Or is it just another food fad?
Faddishness is a big part of it.
Americans will spend an estimat-
ed $7 billion this year on foods la-
beled gluten-free, according to
the market research firm Mintel.
But the best estimates are that
more than half the consumers
buying these products per-
haps way more than half dont
have any clear-cut reactiontoglu-
ten.
They buy gluten-free because
they think it will help them lose
weight, or because they seem to
feel better, or because they mis-
takenlybelievetheyaresensitive.
We have a lot of self-diagnosi-
ng going on out there, said Me-
lissa Abbott, who tracks the glu-
ten-free market for the Hartman
Group, a Seattle-area market re-
search organization.
Fads aside, research suggests
morepeoplearetrulygettingsick
from the gluten found in wheat,
rye and barley, but the reasons
arent clear.
In the most serious cases, glu-
ten triggers celiac disease. The
condition causes abdominal
pain, bloating and intermittent
diarrhea. Those with the ailment
dont absorb nutrients well and
can suffer problems.
It was once considered ex-
tremely rare inthe U.S. But about
20 years ago, a few scientists be-
gan exploring why celiac disease
was less common here than in
Europe and other countries.
They concluded that it wasnt
less common here; it was just un-
der-diagnosed.
More recently, a research team
led by the Mayo Clinics Dr. Jo-
seph Murray looked at blood
samples takenfromAmericans in
the 1950s and compared them
with samples taken from people
today, and determined it wasnt
just better diagnosis driving up
the numbers. Celiac disease ac-
tually was increasing. Indeed, the
research confirms estimates that
about 1 percent of U.S. adults

times more common now than it
was 50 years ago, Murray and his
colleagues reported Tuesday in

troenterology.
That translates to nearly 2 mil-
lion Americans with celiac dis-
ease.

NEW DELHI -- Indias elec-
tricity grids suffered another
massive failure Tuesday, the
second in two days, frustrat-
ing commuters, stranding
coal miners and leaving more
than 600 million people with-
out lights, rail service or air
conditioning in 90-degree
heat.
R.K. Nayak, chairmanof the
Power Grid Corp. of India,
told reporters at a news con-
ference in the capital that the
problem was difficult to pin-
point given the networks
complexity, but that he hoped
to see the system up and run-
ning by midnight.
Some sections might have
caused tripping but it is diffi-
cult to give you anything at
this time, he added.
By early evening, power of-
ficials were reporting that
around 40 percent of the sys-
tem was operating normally
again.
The massive outage -- billed
as one of the worlds largest,
affecting half of Indias 1.2 bil-
lionpeople -- occurredsoonaf-
ter the northerngridwas pow-
ered back up after a 15-hour
failure Monday, only to col-
lapse againshortly after1p.m.
Tuesday. That tripped the
eastern and northeastern
grids in quick succession,
leavingmuchof the country in
the dark and the capital with1
percent of its usual electricity
supply.
Nearly twice as many peo-
ple were affected by Tuesdays
failure as were without power
Monday.
As the outage spread, state
officials stepped up their fin-
ger-pointing, accusing neigh-
boring states of taking more
than their allocated share of
power, even as opposition pol-
iticians slammed the govern-
ment for mismanagement and
policy paralysis.
This lowers the esteem of
the country in the eyes of the
world, said Prakash Javade-
kar, a spokesman with the op-
position Bharatiya Janata Par-
ty. The country is suffering.
As the Delhi Metro ground
to a halt, passengers in the
capital were forced to clamber
down from rail cars and walk
or wait until emergency pow-
er allowed trains to reach the
nearest station. About 350
trains were affected nation-
wide.
While major airports and
larger hospitals switched to
backup generators, smaller
hospitals and clinics were
forced to postpone proce-
dures or make do with ambi-
ent light.

HARRISBURGAformer PennState
official facing a perjury charge in the Jer-
ry Sandusky scandal asked a judge to let
his defense see files froma school investi-
gation.
Lawyers for retired university vice
president Gary Schultz filed a petition
late Monday that requested a list of 25
sets of items from the Washington, D.C.,
lawfirmled by former FBI director Louis
Freeh, who was hired by Penn State to
look into the child sex abuse scandal.
The records he wants include notes of
interviews with former Penn State presi-
dent Graham Spanier and with Cynthia
Baldwin, the universitys former chief
counsel.
Schultzs lawyers said Freehs report
has maintainedgrievous andpotentially
inaccurate information related to Mr.
Schultz, reviewing in great detail his pur-
ported actions, and alleging a conspiracy
amongthe topadministrators for the uni-
versity to cover up reports of sexual
abuse within its football program.
Schultz also is charged with failure to
properly report suspected child abuse.
The court filing said the documents
would help him prepare a defense and in
jury selection.
Schultz defense lawyer George Matan-
gos said Tuesday that if Dauphin County
Judge Todd Hoover signs the order, it
would be taken to Washington, D.C.,
court officials for their review. The filing
sets a Sept. 1 deadline.
I wouldnt say its a firm timetable,
Matangos said. Its a guideline were try-
ing to follow.
Schultzs co-defendant, PennState ath-
letic director Tim Curley, did not imme-
diately join the motion, and a message
seeking comment from his lawyer was
not immediately returned.
A spokesman for Freeh, Sporkin and
Sullivan declined to comment.

be used to remove the bridge.
They are discussing that possibil-
ity with Luzerne County Engi-
neer Joe Gibbons.
We have to get it out of there,
Brozena said. Were trying to
find the means to do it.
Two of the stone pillars sup-
porting the span have eroded,
looking as if huge bites were tak-
en from them. Debris often gets
caught on the piers, causing wa-
ter to back up.
Reilly saidhe has talkedtoBro-
zena and Gibbons and was told
the bridge sustaineddamage dur-
ing Septembers flooding. He
said he sent a letter to Glodzik in
early November telling himto re-
move the bridge, but Glodzik
never responded. Reilly is con-
cerned about potential liability.
He (Glodzik) owns the
bridge, Reilly said. We are talk-
ing with the county solicitor to
see what our options are. The
bridge is a serious potential ca-
tastrophe.
The county redevelopment au-
thority purchased the bridge and
other railroad property by securi-
ng a mortgage fromF&L Reality,
which had ties to Lackawanna
County businessman Louis De-
Naples. In 2000, the authority
asked the county for financial
help to avoid defaulting on the
mortgage. The county agreed to
come up with $3.5 million -- $1.5
million in a community develop-
ment loan and the rest frombond
issues.
Glodzik had been married to
DeNaples daughter. They are
now divorced.

WILKES-BARRE The owner
of LAGTowingtestifiedTuesday
he knew in July 2011 that he did
not have records to provide in re-
sponse to a Right to Know re-
quest submitted by The Citi-
zens Voice newspaper.
Leo Glodzik testified it was
commonpractice for himtokeep
records for a month, present
them to the Wilkes-Barre Police
Department if it had questions,
and then destroy them.
I didnt see a need to keep
them, Glodzik said, noting he
began to main-
tain docu-
ments only
around August
2011 on advice
of his attorney,
Tom Ford.
Glodziks tes-
timony came at
a two-hour
hearing regarding documents
the newspaper requested dating
from April 2005 to July 2011.
Judge Lesa Gelb did not make
any rulings Tuesday. The judge
said she would allow attorneys
to submit additional court pa-
pers before issuing a ruling.
The newspaper petitioned the
court recently to obtain the doc-
uments fromLAGand the city of
Wilkes-Barre.
After a hearing in June, Gelb
ordered LAGto submit court pa-
pers detailing how and why doc-
uments were destroyed and re-
quested an affidavit from LAGs
accountant about the destruc-
tion of records.
Attorney Michael George,
who represents the newspaper
in the petition, called Glodzik to
testify Tuesday, as well as city
solicitor Tim Henry and city
clerk Jim Ryan.
Henry testified that at no time
was he certain any records exist-
ed and the city does not main-
tain LAGs records.
Henry testified the first time
he knewrecords didnt exist was
in December 2011, when LAG
handed over a few months
worth of documents.
Ryan testified that as the citys
open records officer he receives
requests, submits themtoappro-
priate departments and then
gives any documents to the orig-
inal requester.
Ryan said he didnt directly
contact LAGfor records, and left
that up to Henry. Ryan said he
later wrote a letter to The Citi-
zens Voice stating that even if
any (records) existed, LAGsaid
it was not handing themover be-
cause the records were exempt
from the Right to Know Law.
The newspaper then appealed
that decision to the states Office
of Open Records, which ordered
LAG to turn over any towing re-
ceipts.
I have no opinion one way or
another if records existed, Ryan
testified. I made no further in-
quiry.
City solicitor Bill Vinsko
asked to have the city dismissed
from the petition because it had
no duty to maintain LAGs re-
cords.
George argued the city has a
contract with LAG and acts as
the citys Right to Know office,
and therefore does have respon-
sibility.
LAGs contract with the city
requires Glodzik to submit
monthly reports to the police de-
partment regarding towing jobs
completed.
George said he would make a
written request to include addi-
tional information into his origi-
nal petition regarding the city.

Judge Lesa Gelb said she
would accept additional court
papers on the attorneys re-
quests within 10 days, and then
any responses before making a
ruling on arguments made at
Tuesdays hearing.

ARBONDALE
Monuments by Par-
ise of Carbondale
and Clifford have installed
Rebirth a statue depict-
ing one of the most memo-
rable moments in New Or-
leans Saints football history.
The memorial sits in Cham-
pions Plaza of the Mercedes-
Benz Superdome in New Or-
leans, La. The memorial was un-
veiled last week in a private, in-
vitation-only ceremony attend-
ed by Saints owner, Tom
Benson, and members of the
New Orleans Saints organiza-
tion.
Jeff Parise, one of the owners
of the family business with his
brother, Jason, and dad, Louis,
said it was an unbelievable ex-
perience to travel to New Or-
leans and erect the memorial.
The Parise company installed
all the granite, the bronze statu-
es and sand blasted the inscrip-
tion on the memorial.
The larger-than-life bronze
statue features the likeness of
former New Orleans Saints safe-
ty Steve Gleason stretching out
to successfully block a punt by
former Atlanta Falcons punter
Michael Koenen (currently a
member of the Tampa Bay Buc-
caneers) on Sept. 25, 2006, dur-
ing a Monday Night Football
game.
The statue was created by na-
tionally acclaimed sculptor
Brian Hanlon of Hanlon Sculp-
ture Studio in Toms River, N.J.
The bronze statue of Gleason
and Koenen weigh 800 pounds
each, stand 71/2 feet tall and are
mounted on granite stanchions
that measure 10 feet long by 4
feet wide by 6 feet tall. Altogeth-
er, the statue on the base stands
13 feet tall.
It was an amazing experience
to be part of such a special pro-
ject, Parise said. Its some-
thing I will always remember in
years to come.
Parise said it took three full
work days to erect the memorial.
At the ceremony, Benson said,
This statue is symbolic of the
rebirth of our city, our region,
our home, our team. This statue
reminds us of a cherished night
and one of the most amazing
plays in the proud history of this
franchise. This statue will be an
everlasting tribute to the spirit
of the Rebirth legacy and what
it stands for and of Steves last-
ing impact on the lives he has
helped touch and inspire.
Gleason played special teams
for the Saints from 2000 to 2008
and earlier last year was diag-
nosed with ALS, considered a
terminal neuro-muscular dis-
ease.
Parise said the inscription on
the memorial reads:
On Monday, September 25,
2006, Steve Gleason was respon-
sible for one of the most dramat-
ic moments in New Orleans
Saints history. He blocked a
punt in the first quarter of the
teams return to the Superdome
following Hurricane Katrina.
That night, the Saints defeated
their rival Atlanta Falcons 23-3.
It would kick start an impossible
run for a team that would go on
to win the NFC South Crown
and play for the NFC Champion-
ship that season. That blocked
punt, that season, symbolized
the Rebirth of the city of New
Orleans.
This is the Parises second
high profile project to be com-
pleted in recent years. They also
erected the Ted Williams Me-
morial honoring the Hall of
Fame legend located at Fenway
Park in Boston.
Some of their other projects
include: the Coal Miner Statues
located at McDade Park in
Scranton and in Olyphant; the
police and firefighter memorials
located in Scranton; the recent
Carol Ann Drazba Nurses Me-
morial located at the Gino Merli
Veterans Center in Scranton and
the Coach John Papa Bear
Henzes Memorial in Peckville.

WILKES-BARRE A city
teen charged with violently
shaking his then-3-month-old
son pleaded no contest to relat-
ed charges Tuesday.
Kashawn Butler, 18, of Old
River Road, entered the plea
before Judge Fred Pierantoni
to charges of aggravated as-
sault, simple assault, endan-
gering the welfare of children
and reckless endangerment of
another person.
City police and the Luzerne
County Detective Bureau al-
lege Butler shook the baby,
Sincere Butler, when the infant
spat up after a feeding inside
his residence on Dec. 4.
Assistant District Attorney
James McMonagle said prose-
cutors are
seeking a
mandatory
minimum of
five years in
prison when
Butler is sen-
tenced on
Oct. 11. Butler
faces a maximumof 20 years in
prison on the aggravated as-
sault charge.
Butlers attorney, Christoph-
er ODonnell, said his client
was entering the no-contest
plea, which does not necessar-
ily mean he is guilty of the
charges, only that he does not
dispute the facts of the case.
He did not mean to injure
the baby, McMonagle said.
Investigators say Butler fed
his son when the mother, Mer-
cedes Pearson, and her moth-
er, Lashawanda Pearson, left
the residence to walk to a store
on Dec. 4.
Butler told authorities he
shook the infant after he be-
came upset at the baby for
throwing up and crying, ac-
cording to the criminal com-
plaint. Court papers say Butler
initially denied he injured his
son and said the baby stopped
breathing after throwing up.
City paramedics revived the
baby and rushed him to
Wilkes-Barre General Hospi-
tal.
The baby was then flown to
Geisinger Medical Center in
Danville.
Doctors at the Danville hos-
pital said the baby had injuries
consistent with shaken baby
syndrome, including hemor-
rhages behind the eyes.
Sincere Butler has since
been released from Geisinger
and is currently staying at St.
Josephs in Scranton, an assist-
ed living facility.
Prosecutors have said the ba-
by will require round-the-clock
care for the rest of his life, is
likely blind and will never fully
recover from his injuries.

WILKES-BARRE The Unit-
edWays 24thannual Christmas
in July food drive ended Tues-
day as corporations donated
money and delivered food to
the Weinberg Food Bank on
Amber Lane.
The goal for this years drive
had been set at 100,000 pounds
of food. Every dollar donated is
calculated at 2 pounds of food.
John Winslow of the United
Way said that, as of Tuesday af-
ternoon, about 3,800 pounds of
food and $21,100 had been col-
lected for a total of 46,000
pounds, although several com-
panies still had not yet deliver-
ed their donations. Winslow
said he believes the United Way
will surpass last years total of
67,000 pounds.
Although Weinberg Food
Bank does not organize food
drives, it aids other organiza-
tions in holding them.
The food bank assists the
United Way by unloading,
weighing and distributing food.
The food will be given to other
food banks, homeless shelters,
soup kitchens, day care centers,
disabled homes and senior citi-
zen programs.
Rich Kutz, director of Wein-
berg, said the food bank servic-
es approximately 5,100Luzerne
County households each
month.

Times Leader Intern
ALBANY, N.Y. A natural
gas drilling company is taking a
new tack in the industrys fight
against local drilling bans: Its
threatening to sue if New York
regulators dont step in and ex-
tinguish the prohibitions.
John Holko, president of Le-
nape Resources, sent a letter
Thursday to state Department
of Environmental Conservation
Commissioner Joe Martens say-
ing a moratorium prohibiting
natural gas development in the
LivingstonCounty townof Avon
forced his company to shut
down its wells there.
The state enacted a drilling
moratorium in 2008 when DEC
began an environmental review
of horizontal drilling and high-
volume hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking. Lenapes wells in
Avon, however, are vertical wells
that were not subject to that mo-
ratorium. The town law doesnt
distinguish between types of
wells, but Town Supervisor Da-
vid LeFeber said it was worded
to protect Lenapes existing
wells.
Regardless, Holko said Avons
moratoriumand others like it vi-
olate a 1981 law that says state
rules supersede local ordinances
in the regulation of gas develop-
ment.
Lenape is trying to make it
clear to DECthat the agency has
a legal duty to carry out state
law, Michael Joy, Lenapes law-
yer, said on Monday. That duty
includes informing local munici-
pal governments that they dont
have the authority to regulate
the oil and gas industry.
In the past, DEC has sent let-
ters to towns that enacted laws
regulating oil and gas develop-
ment, telling them they didnt
have the authority todoso. Inits
letter to Martens, Lenape at-
tached one such correspond-
ence, sent to the city of Olean in
1984.
DavidSlottje, anIthacalawyer
who helps towns draft moratori-
ums or bans on gas drilling, said
in a letter to Martens on Tues-
day that since two courts have
upheld local bans, DEC doesnt
have to tell the towns to repeal
them.
More than 30 municipalities
inupstate NewYorkhave passed
bans on gas drilling and more
than 80 have enacted moratori-
ums inanticipationof DECcom-
pletingits environmental review
and lifting the 4-year-old state
moratorium. The actions are in
response to fears that fracking,
which frees gas by injecting a
well with chemically treated wa-
ter at highpressure tocrackrock
deep underground, could con-
taminate water supplies or
cause other harm. Drillers and
DEC say state regulations and
standard industry safeguards
protect against harm from drill-
ing and fracking.
Martens has said that local or-
dinances will be taken into con-
sideration when the agency ap-
proves permits for shale gas
wells.
Denver-based Anschutz Re-
sources took the townof Dryden
to court over its ban and a Mid-
dlefield landowner sued over
that towns ban. Both laws were
upheld by judges who said bans
are not regulation, so the state
law against local regulation of
gas development didnt apply.
Albany lawyer Tom West has
said the decisions will be ap-
pealed.
Local control over gas drilling
has also been an issue in other
states in the Marcellus Shale re-
gion, which includes southern
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and West Virginia.
A Pennsylvania court last
week ruled that the state cant
restrict localities from using
zoning laws to regulate oil and
gas drilling within their borders.
Ohio townships were strippedof
regulatory authority over gas
drilling under a law passed in
2004. Ordinances enacted by a
handful of West Virginia com-
munities tobangas drillingwere
overturned last year by a judge
who said the state has sole au-
thority to regulate the industry.
Morgantown, W. Va., enacted
new zoning ordinances recently
that restrict drilling to designat-
ed industrial zones; an industry
group has said it may challenge
that in court.
Deborah Goldberg, an attor-
ney for the environmental group
Earthjustice who represents
Dryden, said Lenape is wrong in
saying DEC has an obligation to
take enforcement action against
towns that ban drilling.
To the contrary, the statute
plainly gives the agency discre-
tion over enforcement, Goldb-
erg said via email. Under the
circumstances, it would be a
waste of scarce resources if DEC
weretotakeactionbeforetheap-
pellate courts resolve the pre-
emption claims.

Sipple said there were issues
here and there between the
budget and stuff like that. I was
just wishing we could have
worked to a better conclusion.
Were working to try to
make the town better, but peo-
ple at the meeting made their
voices heard. They demanded
answers reasons behind the
move pertaining to the offi-
cers, he said.
Sipple said he thought some
questions were answered and
more could be at the next coun-
cil meeting on Aug. 14.
Councilman Joe Gorham
said some people might believe
McGlynn chose to retire rather
than face demotion to part-
time because he submitted the
letter of resignation in a very
dramatic fashion at the end of
the meeting. But Gorham said
McGlynn had verbally ex-
pressed an interest in retiring
earlier in July, and council had
provided him with informa-
tion.
Gorham also said a failure to
eliminate or keep down police
overtime was not the issue with
Collotty. Council has never
suggested to eliminate over-
time in any way, shape or form.
We simply needed notification
on when overtime occurred
and the reason for it, he said.
Recurring problems includ-
ed overtime documentation,
using the time clock and proto-
cols for securing evidence as
recommended by state police,
he said.
Gorham said the borough
was near bankruptcy two years
ago and a lack of proper docu-
mentation in all departments
was a large contributing factor.
Were very big onprocess right
now because we havent had it
for well over a decade, he said.
The borough advertised for
candidates for the part-time po-
lice chief position on Tuesday.

that should be addressed at trial.
During the hearing, Melvin staff members and
employees of other elected officials testified that
they were asked or expected to do political work
for Melvin while they were on the state payroll. In
response, defense lawyers worked to create
doubts about whether Melvinherself gavesuchor-
ders or was even aware of actions taken by staff
supervisors or campaign workers.
The judge dismissed one misdemeanor charge
of official oppression and one of criminal solicita-
tion, agreeing with the defense that the evidence
didnt link Melvin to those charges.
Prosecutors allege Melvin knew that improper
activity was taking place.
I drove to various political events with the
judge, said Jason Davidek, a one-time staff mem-
ber for Jane Orie.
Davidek said political work for the judge took
up about 30 percent of his working time.
Barbara Brown, another former staff member
for the former senator, said she knewthe requests
for staff to do political work were wrong but the
senator indicated on several occasions that Joan
was a priority.
PITTSBURGHPennsylvaniaSupremeCourt
Justice Joan Orie Melvin will stand trial on seven
charges of illegally using her publicly funded staff
for her political campaigns for a seat on the court
in 2003 and 2009, a judge ruled Tuesday.
The conservative Republican from Pittsburghs
North Hills suburbs has denied the charges and
suggested they are a political vendetta by the
countys Democratic district attorney, Stephen
Zappala Jr.
Melvin, who has been suspended from the
court, declined to comment on the judges deci-
sion. Four of the charges she faces are felonies.
Her arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 14. A trial
date has not yet been set.
Meanwhile, Melvins sister, former state Sen.
Jane Orie, is serving a prison sentence for convic-
tions on similar charges, and their sister, Janine
Orie, faces trial in August.
District Judge James J. Hanley Jr. on Tuesday
dismissed two of the original nine charges against
Melvin, but said the defense raised a number of
issues during the two-day preliminary hearing
Pa. judge faces trial
Melvin alleges political vendetta
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON- Congression-
al leaders reached a tentative
budget deal with the White
House on Tuesday that would av-
ert a politically risky government
shutdown right before the elec-
tion.
The six-month stopgap mea-
sure would keep the government
running at current levels through
March -- dashing, for now, the
hopes of conservative Republi-
cans who want to make steeper
cuts, including eliminating mon-
ey for President Barack Obamas
health care law.
Although the deal would end
the threat of a stalemate that
could be politically damaging for
both parties, it does not address
the looming fiscal cliff of tax
hikes and mandatory spending
cuts that are scheduled to take ef-
fect after Jan. 1.
Votes on the tentative deal are
set for September, before the new
fiscal year begins on Oct. 1, clear-
ing the post-election lame-duck
session for the tax-and-spending
debate.
This is very good, because we
can resolve these critical issues
that directly affect the country as
soon as the elections over and
move on to do good things, said
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev.
White House press secretary
Jay Carney called Tuesdays
breakthrough a welcome devel-
opment.
The swift agreement with
House Speaker John A. Boehner,
R-Ohio, is a turnaround from the
shutdown threats that have dom-
inated this Congress. The GOPs
House majority was elected on
pledges to slash government
spending. Republicanleaders cal-
culated it was better to reach a
short-term agreement to pay for
the routine functions of govern-
ment so lawmakers could cam-
paign on broader issues.
Tax rates will rise and spend-
ing reductions will sharply cut
defense and domestic programs
in the new year if Congress fails
to compromise. The George W.
Bush-era tax rates are scheduled
to expire Dec. 31, and the across-
the-board spending reductions
were part of a deal to raise the
debt ceiling.
Republicans risked being
blamed for brinkmanship if the
government teetered on the
verge of a shutdown.
Deal made
to avoid
U.S. govt
shutdown
Tentative deal would keep the
feds functioning at current
levels through March.

These two women are
true health care heroes
M
y friend Cheryl Fuller and her partner,
Robin Gallagher, are nurse practitio-
ners who have owned the womens
health clinic Women to Women in King-
ston for the past 16 years. They served
only uninsured or underinsured women
and had a clientele of about 5,000 women
who had nowhere else to go to get the
health care they needed.
Gradually over the past four years their
funding decreased, yet they continued to
see their patients because they felt a moral
responsibility to continue their mission.
Sadly, after experiencing deeper and
more drastic cuts in government funding,
they finally were forced to close the doors
to their facility on June 30.
I thank Cheryl and Robin for their dedi-
cation, commitment and professional care.
They are truly among the health care he-
roes in our community.
At the same time, I wonder where these
5,000 women (and more) will receive their
necessary health care and cannot help but
fear they will go without.
I do not claim to know and understand
every detail of the new health insurance
law. However, I do know that whether it is
called Obamacare or socialism, I am in
favor of health care for all.

Want to save on energy?
Pick your own supplier
P
ennsylvania has a robust competitive
energy market, which gives electricity
consumers here a great advantage over
customers in states with traditionally regu-
lated markets. Pennsylvania consumers
can benefit more fully from the decline in
natural gas and wholesale electricity prices
by choosing from among a large number of
competitive suppliers who are better able
than regulated utilities to respond price-
wise as low natural gas prices drive down
the cost of electricity production.
Competitive retail suppliers offer prices
that are closer to the true market cost in
real time rather than having to wait for
rates to be set by regulators. In addition,
retail suppliers offer products that more
closely fit individual energy use patterns or
the desire to use renewable energy.
Customers who have not benefited from
relative declining prices should take ad-
vantage of their option to choose an ener-
gy product that suits their lifestyle and go
to the special Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission website www.PApower-
switch.com to learn more.
In Pennsylvania, lower prices for elec-
tricity supply offered by competitive sup-
pliers have been able to largely offset rising
utility rates to pay for increased invest-
ments in needed transmission and distri-
bution infrastructure upgrades.
A recent comparison across all energy
markets over 15 years by the COMPETE
Coalition found that customers have seen
an 8.5 percent increase in non-competitive
markets and a mere 2.2 percent increase in
competitive markets. Competitive-market
customers face rates that are half the na-
tional average.
Clearly, customers benefit from compet-
itive markets and energy options. Penn-
sylvania should continue to pursue policies
that encourage customers to choose their
energy supplier.

Dentures from China?
Thanks but no thanks
M
r. David Obazas letter to the editor
(Regulations crush our self-suffi-
ciency, July 8) not only offered an
interesting overview of the pressures sur-
rounding small-business owners in Amer-
ica, it presented an eye-opening glimpse
into a brewing scandal in the dental indus-
try.
I had no idea dentists were having
crowns and dentures fabricated in Chinese
dental labs and not disclosing this to pa-
tients. Evidently, this is not an uncommon
practice.
Inferior Chinese workmanship and de-
fective, if not toxic, materials, might be
tolerated by some people when it comes to
cheap electronic items, but we are talking
about prosthetic devices that are implant-
ed in your head. How dare our legislators
allow dentists to get away with this?
Failure to disclose this information to a
patient should be punishable by revoking
the right to practice dentistry.
I will certainly inquire about this at my
next appointment. I suggest that everyone
who values their health do the same.

Wilkes-Barre Township
not likened to Mayberry
W
ilkes-Barre Township is in the Dark
Ages.
Because of Mayor Carl Kuren,
there seemingly is no communication with
other communities such as Wilkes-Barre,
Ashley, Hanover Township and Laurel
Run.
These towns and cities are vital. To
survive and prosper there has to be a sit-
down, but Mayor Kuren ignores the needs
of the township.
Oh, by the way, Wilkes-Barre Township
does not test soil; the federal Environ-
mental Protection Agency and state De-
partment of Environmental Protection do.
Also, if the elected officials cared so much,
why arent they touring Stanton Hill and
talking to the Wilkes-Barre Area School
Board about the land and so-called dump
or junkyard?
Revitalization is next. The future is now,
not tomorrow. But as long as you have
Republican leaders, the towns, counties,
cities, states and the country will not suc-
ceed. Republicans are dysfunctional.
John Red Bryan, as a man and as a
caring person, is 10 times a better repre-
sentative of the people than Mayor Kuren.

S DROUGHT wreaks
havoc on Americas
heartland, lobbyists
are leaning on Con-
gress to pass a flawed, trillion-
dollar farm bill. Lawmakers
should not wait until after the
November election to enact the
legislation, but they also should
not use the drought as a pretext
to approve a bad bill.
The farm statute expires on
Sept. 30. If a new law is not
passed and in effect by then,
crop insurance will cover most
major drought-related losses.
The cropmost affectedbythe
drought is corn for animal feed,
not sweet corn that people con-
sume. Supplies of the former
were tight before the drought
began in March, so livestock-
grain prices would have risen
anyway. The U.S. Department
of Agriculture estimates food
prices will rise no more than1.5
percent higher than they would
have without the drought.
The version of the farm bill
preferredbyHouseRepublicans
is too rich with unneeded sub-
sidies and would do too much
harm to the food stamp pro-
gram. Congress can do better.

OTHER OPINION: U.S. DROUGHT
Rushed farm bill
wont hold water
J
UDGING FROM some
of the loutish communi-
cation coming out of
London lately, perhaps
theOlympicmottoneeds a21st-
century update. To the tradi-
tional faster, higher, stronger,
all athletes with access to Twit-
ter andsimilar social mediaout-
lets should add this: Quieter.
By failing to keep their
mouths shut or more precise-
ly, their tweets restrained sev-
eral competitors inthe Summer
Games already landed in water
hot enough to steep tea, and at
least two would-be
participants in the
sports extravaganza
got expelled.
Their screw-ups on
the international
stage serve as a cau-
tionary tale for all of
us especially teen-
agers and 20-some-
things tempted to
popoff viahandheldtechnology
rather than bite our tongues, or
control our allotted 140 charac-
ters.
U.S. womens soccer goal-
keeper Hope Solo unleashed a
Twitter rant Saturday aimed at
NBC analyst Brandi Chastain,
herself a former American soc-
cer player. Solowrote: Its 2bad
we cant have commentators
whobetter represents the team-
&knows more about the game.
Meanwhile, American hur-
dler Lolo Jones, who seemingly
keeps little to herself, including
her self-professed virginity,
drew criticism for a Twitter
comment about the United
States and shooting prowess
an inference not well-received
bysomepeopleinlight of there-
cent Aurora, Colo., massacre.
She apologized and indicated
her message had been misinter-
preted.
A Swiss soccer player left no
room for doubt after his team
lost to the South Korean squad.
I want to beat up all South Ko-
reans! Ironically, his Tweet
went on to question their men-
tal acuity, using the word re-
tards. He got booted from the
Games. Earlier, the same fate
befell a Greek triple jumper
who more than misstepped in a
tasteless remarkpostedtoTwit-
ter about African immigrants in
Athens.
With each new communica-
tion breakthrough for society,
some people re-
vert to the lowest
common denomi-
nator; witness, for
instance, theuseof
copy machines in
prior years to du-
plicate images of
peoples uh, but-
tocks. Just because
our tools become
more sophisticated doesnt
mean our brains do. And so it is
even with todays smart-
phones.
Florida State University foot-
ball coach Jimbo Fisher aims to
nip trouble in the bud by ban-
ninghisplayersfromusingtheir
Twitter accounts for the rest of
the year. Thats one method,
thoughnot the best, of avoiding
fallout from unfiltered expres-
sion.
Olympic organizers, no
doubt, will weighthemanyben-
efits of social media against the
obvious downside of angry or
nave athletes venting their
emotions to the world. Is it pos-
sible to prevent them from put-
ting their feet firmly in their
mouths?
As the games get under way
in Rio de Janeiro four years
from now, perhaps theyll have
an app for that.
OUR OPINION: ANTISOCIAL MEDIA
Foot-to-mouth is
a sport unto itself
Just because our
tools become more
sophisticated
doesnt mean our
brains do. And so
it is even with
smartphones.

isted, the indictment says.
The scheme began to unravel
in November 2011, after Lupas
suffered an injury that required
him to be hospitalized until Ja-
nuary 2012.
Clients who had not received
their monthly payments began
questioning Lupas, the indict-
ment says.
Heappeasedsomeof themby
offering them smaller distribu-
tions.
Alleged sales pitch
In other instances, he eased
their anxieties by telling them
hewas lookingout for their best
interest, or that he had offered
this type of investment to a se-
lect group of people he consid-
ered special.
The indictment also reveals
the lengths to which Lupas
went to avoiddetectionas it got
more difficult to pay investors.
Lupas, with the help of oth-
ers, actively sought out new
people whomhe could defraud.
In one instance, the indict-
ment says, the conspirators so-
licited $358,784 from a woman
who was appointed the admin-
istrator of an estate. The con-
spirators drove the woman to
various financial institutions so
that she could withdrawmoney
to deposit with Lupas.
The indictment does not
name the conspirators or say
how many people were in-
volved.
Heidi Havens, spokeswoman
for the U.S. Attorneys Office,
said the office would not com-
ment on whether any others
will be charged.
Lupas has remained free on
bail since he was charged. His
attorneys, William Ruzzo and
Joseph Blazosek, have ques-
tionedwhether he is competent
to stand trial.
In May, U.S. District Judge
Robert Mariani appointed Dr.
Richard Fischbein to evaluate
Lupas.
Federal prosecutors on Mon-
day joined defense attorneys in
requesting Mariani approve
Fischbeins recommendation,
which calls for Lupas to contin-
ue treatment with a physician
who specializes in elderly care
for up to four months. Acompe-
tency hearing then will be held.
Each of the new charges car-
ries a maximum sentence of 20
years in prison and a $250,000
fine. Lupas will be arraigned on
the indictment at a later date,
which has not yet been set.

bersburg. The story quoted
Franklin County Prison War-
den Daniel Keen as saying Lu-
zerne County was looking to
close two wings of the prison
and send 175 inmates to Fran-
klin and Lackawanna counties.
Everyone is on egg shells
downthere. We just hada layoff
It looks like the rug might be
pulled out again, Borum said.
Piazza on Monday said there
are no plans to close any sec-
tion of the prison, but he cant
say whether Lawtonwill imple-
ment further
staff reductions.
Piazza said
Lawton has
asked for de-
tailed informa-
tion about the
prison oper-
ations, including
staffing levels,
inmate popula-
tion and the cost
of food service,
to see where
cuts might be
made.
We are not looking at any-
thing right now, Piazza said,
referring to possible staffing
cuts. Were still discussing
strategies with the county
manager. We are looking at ev-
erything we can squeeze a nick-
el out of till theres nothing
left.
Lawton did not return sever-
al phone messages left at his of-
fice Tuesday.
Piazza confirmed he did
speak with Franklin and Lacka-
wanna counties about possibly
taking inmates, but that was
solely to address concerns that
the Luzerne County prison is
edging toward being over-
crowded.
As of Tuesday, there were
494 inmates incarceratedat the
main facility on Water Street.
The prison can hold a maxi-
mum of 508 inmates before it
has to house them elsewhere.
We are just gearing up in
case something happens,
Piazza said. I checked to see
how much they would charge
and if they had the bed space.
Franklin County warden
Contacted Monday, Keen
said he and Piazza had some
preliminary discussions about
whether his prison could ac-
cept 50 inmates.
He said he did not want to
discuss Luzerne Countys
plans because does not have all
the details. He confirmed Piaz-
za did express concerns about
overcrowding becoming a
problem in the future.
I know he was having
crowding issues coming up. He
reached out to us so that if the
population con-
tinues to rise, he
wants some alter-
natives, Keen
said.
The Luzerne
County prison
has made signifi-
cant strides in re-
ducing over-
crowding in the
past several
years, thanks in
part to alterna-
tive programs
implemented by
the court system. Piazza said
hes not sure what has fueled
the recent spike in incarcera-
tions.
Piazza said concerns about
future overcrowding have in-
creased due to provisions in
Senate Bill 100, which would
require county prisons to take
more inmates who previously
would be sent to a state prison.
Gov. Tom Corbett signed the
bill earlier this month.
A key portion of the bill
would prohibit offenders con-
victed of a third-degree misde-
meanor which Piazza said
can carry a sentence of two
years or more in certain cir-
cumstances -- from being com-
mitted to a state prison, regard-
less of the sentence. Previously
any offender sentenced to 24
months or more inprisoncould
be sent to a state prison.
Thats going to cause over-
crowding for everybody, Piaz-
za said.

For Olympics organizers who pride
themselves onputtingonacarefullycho-
reographed obsessively controlled,
some would say 17-day show, the
bursts of Twitter activity are like gamma
rays escaping from a solar flare. Theyre
impossible to stop and spellbinding to
behold.
I dont thinkwewouldseektocontrol
it, nor could we, said International
Olympic Committee spokesman Mark
Adams. He said more than 15 million
fans are following and participating in
the Olympic experience via Twitter and
other social media platforms, not to
mention a good proportion of the10,800
athletes. Used the right way, we em-
brace social media, he said. And, if you
look at the guidelines, we positively en-
courage it.
The problem is, it isnt always used
that way.
The immediacy and public nature of
Twitter and its propensity to induce off-
the-cuff irreverence, and sometimes
breathtaking ugliness, has added a new
and chaotic element to an event where
everything from urine samples to spon-
sors logos to London traffic is arranged
with overcaffeinated attention to detail
worthy of a royal wedding.
Though organizers have spent
months touting this as the first social
media Summer Games, many of them
seemtohave beentotallyunpreparedfor
the huge impact that Twitter has had,
said Andy Miah, director of the Creative
Futures Institute at the University of the
West of Scotland. I think there was
some naivete about the likely role of so-
cial media from both participants and
from the organizers. Many of them ap-
pear to have been wrongfooted.
Twitter has been used in many ways
during its brief life some very orga-
nized and tactical, some more spontane-
ous and disorderly. It has been a tool of
protest and organization for the Occupy
Wall Street movement and Arab Spring
activists. Yet it has also led to the down-
fall of click-happy politicians, and the
sometimes embarrassing late-night rev-
elations of A-list celebrities.
The social network is now at the fin-
gertips of 140 million users, up from a
few million when the Olympics were
held in Beijing in 2008. The San Francis-
co-based company says there have been
more than10 million tweets mentioning
the Olympics during the first fewdays of
the games.
Which of course raises the question:
When exuberant, often young athletes
are going through the experience of
their lives on one hand, and its unfold-
ing in a deeply controlled environment
on the other, how do you make sure ev-
eryone gets what they needwithout it all
turning to anarchy?
The IOC, Miah says, has tried to exert
control by creating its own social media
hub gathering athletes tweets and
posts from Facebook, the other formid-
able player in this landscape. But it
hasnt always worked out as planned.
On Saturday, U.S. womens soccer
goalkeeper Hope Solo launched a Twit-
ter outburst against Brandi Chastain,
the former American soccer player who
is now an analyst on NBC. Its 2 bad we
cant have commentators who better
represents the team&knows more about
the game, Solo wrote.
Dozens of athletes, including some
British soccer players, have taken to
Twitter to promote their sponsors prod-
ucts, a violation of Olympic rules that
could theoretically lead to their expul-
sions. Some Olympians, undoubtedly
delighting agents and marketers back
home, have started an online campaign
to get the rules changed.
And its not just athletes who are stir-
ring the stew of controversy.
British lawmaker Aidan Burley
earned a sharp rebuke from fellow con-
servatives after he tweeted that Danny
Boyles critically acclaimed opening cer-
emony, which told the story of Britains
history in a rousing mix of music, sym-
bolism and showmanship, was leftie
multicultural crap.
ABritishjournalist saidhis Twitter ac-
count was blocked after he criticized
NBCs coverage of the opening ceremo-
ny andpostedthe e-mail of a network ex-
ecutive. And thousands of disgruntled
Olympics viewers set up hashtag
nbcfail on Twitter to air complaints
about the media companys coverage.
Then theres the teenager fromDorset
who was arrested Tuesday after a series
of offensive and, authorities say, menac-
ing tweets directed at British Olympian
Tom Daley. The suspect could be prose-
cuted under British law.
And yet Twitter has fast become an in-
dispensable part of the Olympic scene. It
is as valuable to todays spectators as
programs and scorecards were to anoth-
er generation, and it is just as important
to the athletes seeking to connect with
supporters from behind the Olympic
curtain.

WASHINGTON Most
Americans have never heard
of Virgil Goode, a former par-
ty-switching congressman
with a distinctive Virginia
drawl who conceivably could
decide the presidential elec-
tion. But he is well known to
President Barack Obamas
team of political advisers.
Goode served six terms in
Congress from Virginia and
is gathering signatures to ap-
pear on the ballot in his
home state as the presiden-
tial candidate from the Constitution Party.
Hes already on the ballot in more than a doz-
en other states with an anti-immigration,
pro-term limit platform. Its not likely to be
much of a dent, but enough in Virginia for
Obama campaign officials to take close no-
tice of his potentially helpful candidacy.
Goode is one of several third-party presi-
dential candidates who will appear on bal-
lots across the country this fall. But within
the Obama camp he is considered one of two
who could tilt the race by pulling votes away
from Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
The other is Libertarian Party candidate Ga-
ry Johnson, a former two-term Republican
governor of New Mexico
whose presence on the ballot
could make a difference in the
presidential contest in states
such as New Mexico and Col-
orado.
Neither candidate is consid-
ered enough of a national
threat to draw comparisons to
Ross Perot, whose independ-
ent campaign in1992 attracted
nearly 19 percent of the vote
and whom President George
H.W. Bushstill blames for cost-
ing him his re-election. But
Democrats see Goode and
Johnson as this years Ralph Nader, whom
they still blame for Al Gores loss to George
W. Bush in 2000. Naders liberal Green Party
candidacy only attracted 2.7 percent of the
national vote, but in decisive Florida, his to-
tal was greater than the 537 votes that sep-
arated Bush from Gore.
Despite that history, in most modern elec-
tions, third-party candidates havent swayed
the results.
Still, in a national contest like this years
where Obama holds slight leads or is run-
ning virtually even with Romney in key bat-
tleground states, even a sliver of the vote in a
crucial state could determine the outcome.

ELECTION
WASHINGTON Wrap-
ping up a stumble-marred
overseas trip, Mitt Romney
pivoted quickly into a three-
month stretch to the election
on Tuesday with a new feel-
good television ad. Aides si-
multaneously stoked specu-
lation about his vice presi-
dential pick.
The economy was Rom-
neys primary text abroad as
well as at home. We could
probably learn something
from whats happening right
here, the former Massachu-
setts governor said of Polish
policies shortly before board-
ing his chartered jet for the
flight back to the U.S. He ar-
rived in Boston early Tues-
day evening.
Advisers accompanying
himsaid he would resume di-
rect criticism of President
Barack Obamas record soon
enough, after observing a
mini-moratorium while on
foreign soil. Yet a new TV
commercial suggested an-
other immediate prioritywas
to close a likeability gap in
the polls.
Shorn of any criticism of
Obama, the ad appears de-
signed to introduce Romney
to voters in battleground
states.
In the ad, Romney speaks
of his years in private busi-
ness, in government and as
the head of the Olympic
Games in Salt Lake City a
decade ago and says, I want
to use those experiences to
help Americans have a better
future.
In the final hours of his
trip, in Warsaw, he extolled
the Polisheconomyas a mod-
el for the rest of the world in
an era of slow growth or
worse, and he simultaneous-
lysought tolimit the political
fallout caused by comments
he made earlier in Israel.

INSIDE: Trade roundup, 3B
PHILADELPHIAAfan un-
concerned that the Philadelphia
Phillies were playing in Wash-
ington walked around the
teams ballpark Tuesday after-
noon with a sign that read: Will
play outfield for food.
After trading two-thirds of
their starting outfield, the last-
place Phillies need all the help
they can get. The five-time NL
East champions turnedintosell-
ers before the non-waiver trade
deadline, sending Shane Victo-
rino to the Los Angeles Dodgers
and Hunter Pence to San Fran-
cisco.
When youre in last place,
you can try any damn thing,
manager Charlie Manuel told
reporters before the opener of a
three-game series against the
first-place Nationals. If you
want totry something, why not?
You dont have nothing to lose.
Perhaps more surprising is
that no one else was traded.
Pitchers Cliff Lee and Joe Blan-
ton, outfielder Juan Pierre and
infielder Ty Wiggintongarnered
interest from other teams, but
the cost-cutting Phillies didnt
get the return they wanted.
So, they jettisoned Victorino
and Pence for now.
Were goingtomiss whothey
are and everything like that,
Manuel said. But also, I think
where we are and where we
want to go, weve got to do some
things and weve definitely got
to try some things to get better.
The Phillies got reliever Josh
Lindblom and minor league
pitcher Ethan Martin for Victo-
rino, who can become a free
agent after the season. Philadel-
phia also gets a player to be
named or cash.

LONDON Michael Phelps lingered
on the blocks, not wanting to make
another shocking blunder. The 19th
medal was his. All he had to do was
avoid a DQ, then set off on what
amounted to four victory laps.
Down and back, then down and back
again, the roars getting louder with each
stroke.
When Phelps touched the wall, he
finally had gold at his final Olympics.
And a record for the ages.
Phelps swam into history with a lot of
help from his friends, taking down the
last major record that
wasnt his alone. He took
the anchor leg for the
United States in a gold
medal-winning perform-
ance of the 4x200-meter
freestyle relay Tuesday night, earning
the 19th Olympic medal of his brilliant
career, and the 15th gold.
A more appropriate color.

that nobody had ever done before,
Phelps said. This has been an amazing

Not exactly a top notch racing program on tap for tonight, with
fourteen races on the slate. However, good news is on the horizon as
the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes returns to action this coming Sunday,
with the two-year old pacing fillies the main attraction. That is fol-
lowed up on Tuesday with that same gender racing in the PAStallion
Series. If the stakes action is as good as the 80s Music Fest held on
Friday night, we are in for a treat!

Baseballs haves picked up
more players from the have-
nots at Tuesdays trade dead-
line, when Ryan Dempster was
dealt from the Chicago Cubs to
the Texas Rangers and Jonath-
an Broxton wound up on a new
team.
Matt Garza, Josh Johnson
and Joe Blanton stayed put for
now as the window closed for
clubs to make trades without
having players pass through
waivers.
Four days after the AL West
rival Los Angeles Angels ac-
quired former Cy Young Award
winner Zack Greinke, the Rang-
ers obtained Dempster for in-
fielder Christian Villanueva and
pitcher Kyle Hendricks. Texas
also acquired catcher Geovany
Soto from the Cubs for right-
hander Jake Brigham.
Its a great opportunity over
there, Dempster said. Its not
going to be easy. There are a lot
of teams out there that are real-
ly good. I think they have as
good a chance as anybody.
Dempster, who will replace
Roy Oswalt in the rotation, had
power to block deals and re-
fused to approve a trade to At-
lanta last week.
I just never said no, he ex-
plained. The last few days, I
hadtogive it a lot more thought
to the teams I might possibly be
traded to.
Dempster was 5-5 with a 2.25
ERA in 16 starts for the Cubs
and can become a free agent af-
ter the season.
Hes a veteran. Hes been
through some wars before,
said Rangers general manager
Jon Daniels, who teamhas won
two straight AL pennants but
no World Series.
Cincinnati received Broxton
from Kansas City, also a cellar
dweller.
The deals capped a busy two-
week period that also saw Ichi-
ro Suzuki, Hanley Ramirez,
Anibal Sanchez and Francisco
Liriano change teams as gener-
al managers assessed whether
they had a chance to make this
years expanded 10-team play-
offs or whether to focus on re-
building for 2013.
After jettisoning Ramirez,
Sanchez and Omar Infante as
the deadline approached, the
Miami Marlins traded pitcher
Edward Mujica to St. Louis for
infielder and sent former All-
Star first baseman Gaby San-
chez and right-hander Kyle Ka-
minska toPittsburghfor outfiel-
der Gorkys Hernandez and a
2013 draft pick.
Washington has emerged
with young talents Stephen
Strasburg and Bryce Harper
andleads the NLEast as the Na-
tionals try to bring postseason
play to the capital for the first
time since 1933.
Our division has undergone
a real sort of metamorphosis,
Mets general manager Sandy
Alderson said.
Houston and the nearly as
awful Cubs also shed salaries.
Jed Lowrie at $1.15 million is
now the highest-paid player on
the Astros, who started the sea-
son with a payroll of nearly $61
million.
Chicago, inits first seasonun-
der newbaseball head Theo Ep-
stein, also dealt pitcher Paul
Maholm and outfielder Reed
Johnson to Atlanta on Monday.
NLCentral-leading Cincinna-
ti, hopeful of just its second
postseason appearance since
1995, got Broxton from Kansas
City the teamwith the worst
record in the AL.
Imgoing somewhere where
Im picking up 20-25 games,
Broxton said, noting the stand-
ings. I enjoyed my time here,
but this is part of baseball. Sogo
over there and, hopefully we
can win a division over there.
In other deals:
Boston sent right-hander
Matt Albers and outfielder
Scott Podsednik to Arizona for
left-hander Craig Breslow and
dealt utilityman Lars Anderson
to Cleveland for right-hander
Steven Wright.
The Yankees traded right-
hander Chad Qualls to Pitts-
burghfor infielder CaseyMcGe-
hee, a move that followed inju-
ries to Alex Rodriguez and
Mark Teixeira.

Eleven Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence softball players were recently
honored by the Pennsylvania Soft-
ball Coaches Association with all-
state designations.
The WVC had seven players on
the Class 2Asquad, including four
first-teamers. Nanticoke third
baseman Maggie Gola and outfiel-
der Ange Hillan were both select-
ed to the first team. Gola batted
.438 with four home runs, 33 RBI

The Times Leader staff
Trading the two-time All-Star
center fielder made sense be-
cause Victorinodidnt fit intoPhi-
ladelphias future plans. Hes
making $9.5 million this season
and will seek a lucrative long-
term deal in free agency.
The Phillies received outfiel-
der Nate Schierholtz, minor
league catcher Tommy Joseph
and minor league right-handed
pitcher Seth Rosin for Pence.
They also sent about $500,000 to
the Giants, a personfamiliar with
the deal told The Associated
Press.
Moving Pence helps the Phil-
lies avoid paying the luxury tax
this season and possibly next. It
also could allow them to target
other free agents inthe offseason.
The two-time All-Star right fiel-
der is making $10.4 million this
seasonandstands toget a raise in
arbitration next year.
Everything is understood,
Pence said. The Phillies are go-
ing in a different direction. We
had a great run at it. Now Im go-
ing a different way.
This was quite the contrast
fromthe way the Phillies handled
the trade deadline the last three
years. General manager Ruben
Amaro Jr. acquired Lee in 2009,
Roy Oswalt in 2010 and Pence
last year.
But these arent the same Phil-
lies who won a World Series in
2008, won the NLCS in 2009 and
finished with the best record in
the majors in 2010 and 2011.
With Chase Utley and Ryan
Howard, their Nos. 3-4 hitters,
missingnearlythe entire first half
and ace Roy Halladay sidelined
two months, the Phillies strug-
gled mightily. They are 17-32
since June 1.
Absolutely no chance if you
wouldve told me at the begin-
ning of the seasonthat onJuly 31,
Id be traded and Hunter Pence
would be traded, Victorino said
on MLB Network. I still think
that team, the Phillies, can turn
things around.
Only last week, it seemed the
Phillies could make a run. They
won four straight games in their
final at-bat, including a three-
game sweep over Milwaukee on
thesamedayColeHamels signed
a $144 million, six-year contract.
But the Phillies lost three in a
row to wild card-leading Atlanta,
forcing Amaro to rebuild.
You dont have anywhere to
go but up, Manuel said.
John Mayberry Jr. started in
center field and Laynce Nix was
in right field on Tuesday night.
Domonic Brown, the Phillies top
prospect, was called up from Tri-
ple-ALehigh Valley and will get a
chance to play every day in the
outfield. Schierholtz also will be
at least part of a platoon.
Brown was expected to replace
former All-Star Jayson Werth as
the starting right fielder last year,
but was injured in spring train-
ing. After returning, Brown hit
just .245 with five homers and 19
RBIs in 54 games and struggled
defensively. He lost his starting
job when the Phillies acquired
Pence from Houston, and was
sent back to the minors.
The 24-year-old Brown hit .286
with five homers and 28 RBIs in
60 games at Triple-A Lehigh Val-
ley.
Its time to turn himloose and
let him play, Manuel said.
The Phillies are hopingthis is a
one-year aberration. If Halladay,
Lee and Hamels pitch to form,
the starting rotation still is one of
the best inthe majors. All-Star Jo-
nathanPapelbonis areliableclos-
er, but givinghimleads toprotect
has been a problem.
Lindblom should help in a set-
up role. The 25-year-old righty
has a 3.02ERAin48relief appear-
ances this season.
Amaro will have plenty of work
to do fixing the offense. Pence
and Victorino were the two
youngest starters in an aging li-
neup that has suffered from a
drop-off in production from ev-
eryone except All-Star catcher
Carlos Ruiz.
Joseph is valuable because he
could help the Phillies get an out-
fielder or third baseman in a
trade. Josephwas SanFranciscos
No. 2 ranked prospect by Base-
ball America. Hes hitting .260
with eight homers and 38 RBIs
for Double-A Richmond.
The Phillies already have one
catching prospect at Double-A in
Sebastian Valle, so Joseph could
be trade bait in the offseason.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. Nobody
seems to want to hang onto first
place in the International League
North Division.
For the eighth time in the last
14 days, a different leader is atop
the division standings.
Thats because Pawtucket de-
feated Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
4-2 on Tuesday night at Frontier
Field as the PawSox jumped back
in front of the Yankees in the
standings by a half game.
The Red Sox jumped out to a
3-0 lead after two innings against
Yankees starter Ramon Ortiz,
who couldnt pick up his10thwin
of the season. Pawtuckets Mauro
Gomez laced a run scoring single
in the bottom of the first for a 1-0
lead and Jason Repko walloped a
homer to left in the top of the sec-
ond. The two-run shot gave Paw-
tucket a 3-0 lead.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
couldnt get anything going
against Pawtuckets Zach Stew-
art, who struck out eight and al-
lowed just one run and four hits
through five innings.
The run Stewart allowed came
from former teammate Darnell
McDonalds first home run in a
SWB uniform this season to trim
the deficit to 3-1after five. McDo-
nald is a former Red Sox farm-
hand and spent time with Paw-
tucket earlier this season.
But the home run was answer-
edright backwitha runinthe top

LaRoche doubling in a run for a
4-1 advantage. Corban Joseph
scored on a passed ball in the bot-
tomof the eighth to pull the Yan-
kees within two at 4-2. The Yan-
kees had the tying run on base in
the bottom of the ninth with two
outs, but fell short.
Ortiz (9-4) pitched six innings
giving up four runs on seven hits.
He walked two and struck out a
pair.

The Times Leader staff
ORLANDO, Fla. Central
Florida will have to sit out the
postseason for a year in mens
basketball and football under
sanctions the NCAA handed
down Tuesday, adding to penal-
ties the school self-imposed af-
ter major recruiting violations
were uncovered last year in
both programs.
UCF also was cited for a lack
of institutional control and
fined $50,000.
The penalties were in addi-
tion to adding two years to
UCFs previously proposed
three years probation, vacating
basketball victories, a reduction
in basketball scholarships and
tighter limits on football
recruiting visiting days.
UCF accepted the additional
penalties.
All the punishments stem
from a 2011 investigation that
found the programs were in-
volved with runners for sports
agents and made cash pay-
ments to recruits.
Former athletics director
KeithTribble andassistant foot-
ball coach David Kelly were cit-
ed for unethical conduct by the
NCAA last year and resigned.
Basketball coach Donnie Jones
served a three-game suspen-
sion.
Rules compliance has been
an issue at UCF before. The
school just got off two years of
NCAA probation in February,
after football staff members
were cited for placing imper-
missible calls to perspective
recruits over an 18-month peri-
od from 2007 to 2009.
Due tothat previous major vi-
olation, the school is consid-
ered a repeat offender, which is
the reason it faced stiffer penal-
ties for these latest infractions.
UCF is in the process of pre-
paring to move to the Big East
Conference in 2013 as an all-
sports member. The NCAAs
ruling now casts a pall over the
Knights final season in Confer-
ence USA.
UCF football was picked to
win Conference USAs East Di-
vision in a preseason poll.

NEW YORK NHL players
began examining the leagues
proposed expansion of revenue
sharing in the latest round of la-
bor talks on Tuesday.
NHL Players Association ex-
ecutive director Don Fehr said
he cant make a counterpropos-
al on the leagues full package,
which included a decrease in
hockey-related revenue, term
limits on contracts and a 22 per-
cent salary rollback, until his
groupreceives andexamines re-
quested team financial reports.
The first batch 76,000 pages
arrived late Monday night.
The meetings will continue
Wednesday at the NHL offices
inNewYorkas thesides workto
try to avoid another lockout
that would threaten the upcom-
ing season.
More talks are scheduled
next week when Fehr returns
from a meeting with NHL play-
ers in Russia.
While both sides acknowl-
edged negotiations are amica-
ble and constructive, Fehr said
players clearly are not enam-
ored withproposedlimitations
oncontract lengths anda clause
that would force them to wait
longer before becoming unre-
stricted free agents.
Fehr wouldnt evensay if he is
encouraged by the revenue-
sharing proposal.
We havent evaluated the
changes from current revenue
sharing to determine whether
we think its the appropriate
thing to do or if it misses the
mark in some respect, Fehr
said.

WASHINGTON Cliff Lee
threw seven innings and scored
on Jimmy Rollins inside-the-
park home run to lead the Phi-
ladelphia Phillies to an 8-0
victory over the Washington
Nationals on Tuesday night.
On the same day Philadel-
phia traded outfielders Shane
Victorino to the Los Angeles
Dodgers and Hunter Pence to
the San Francisco Giants, one
of the Phillies other former
All-Stars heavily involved in
trade rumors Lee ex-
celled.
Lee (2-6) allowed five hits
and one walk and struck out
seven for Philadelphia, which
snapped a three-game losing
streak.
He hit a two-out single to
drive in John Mayberry in the
fourth inning. For good mea-
sure, Lee stole second, his
second career steal, before
scoring on Rollins fourth ca-
reer inside-the-park home run.
Pirates 5, Cubs 0
CHICAGO A.J. Burnett
took a no-hitter into the eighth
inning, Neil Walker drove in
five runs and the Pittsburgh
Pirates beat Chicago 5-0 after
the Cubs traded ace Ryan
Dempster on Tuesday.
Burnett just about stole the
spotlight after the Cubs traded
their best pitcher to Texas just
before the non-waiver deadline.
His bid for a second career
no-hitter and the sixth in the
majors this season ended with
two outs in the eighth.
He had already hit Darwin
Barney in the helmet with one
out before striking out Luis
Valbuena, but his no-hit bid
ended at the hands of a rookie
when pinch-hitter Adrian Car-
denas lined a 3-2 pitch to right
for a single after two close
pitches were called balls.
Burnett struck out David
DeJesus with runners on first
and third to end the inning.
Reds 7, Padres 6
CINCINNATI Ryan Lud-
wick drove in four runs with a
homer and a single and Bran-
don Phillips hit a tiebreaking
solo shot in the seventh inning
that got Cincinnati back to
winning.
The NL Central leaders blew
a six-run lead before rallying for
their 18th victory in 21 games.
A loss to the Padres in the
series opener on Monday
snapped a 10-game winning
streak.
Phillips homered on the
110th and final pitch by Jason
Marquis (4-6), who had won his
last three starts. Sean Marshall
(4-3) got the win with two
perfect innings.
Aroldis Chapman pitched a
perfect ninth for his 14th
straight save and 22nd in 26
chances overall.
Homer Bailey let a six-run
lead get away. He had allowed
six earned runs in his last five
games. He gave up that many in
one inning, the fourth when the
Padres tied it.
Brewers 10, Astros 1
MILWAUKEE Aramis
Ramirez and Corey Hart hit
three-run homers for Milwau-
kee.
Ramirez had three hits and
four RBIs, including his 13th
homer of the season in the third
inning. Hart hit his three-run
shot in the fifth, his 20th homer.
Brewers starter Yovani Gal-
lardo (9-8) went seven innings,
giving up one run and three hits
with a walk and five strikeouts.
Jim Henderson got out of a
bases-loaded jam in the eighth
and Francisco Rodriguez
pitched a perfect ninth.
Chris Snyder hit his fifth
home run of the season for
Houston.

NEW YORK Chris Davis
hit a go-ahead grand slam in the
Orioles seven-run second in-
ning and Baltimore rallied from
five runs down to beat the New
York Yankees 11-5 on Tuesday
night.
Nick Markakis had a two-run
homer among his three hits for
the Orioles, who have won four
of their last six, but finished
July 13-14, their first month
below .500 all season.
Ivan Nova allowed a career-
high nine runs in five innings
for New York, which tied a
season-worst skid with four
straight losses and made some
dubious history in the process.
According to STATS, LLC, the
Yankees havent led by five or
more after the first inning and
then trailed after the second
since at least 1918.
Red Sox 4, Tigers 1
BOSTON Clayton Morten-
sen pitched 2 2-3 shutout in-
nings after Josh Beckett left
with back spasms and the Bos-
ton Red Sox beat the Detroit
Tigers 4-1 in a game halted by
rain in the top of the sixth in-
ning Tuesday night.
Detroit had the bases loaded
with two outs when the tarp
was rolled onto the field. The
game was called1 hour, 45
minutes later, giving the Red
Sox their fourth straight win
and sending the Tigers to their
fifth loss in six games.
Mortensen (1-0) allowed one
hit and three walks with one
strikeout after being recalled
earlier in the day from Triple-A
Pawtucket.
Royals 8, Indians 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Al-
cides Escobar drove in three
runs, Luke Hochevar pitched
six solid innings and the Kansas
City Royals beat the Cleveland
Indians 8-3 Tuesday night to
snap a five-game losing streak.
Escobar had two hits for his
34th multihit game, raising his
average to a team-leading .307.
Jarrod Dyson and Alex Gordon
had three hits each, and Chris
Getz had two hits and drove in
two runs. The Royals scored all
their runs in the first three
innings.
Angels 6, Rangers 2
ARLINGTON, Texas
Albert Pujols hit two home runs
and Jered Weaver won his
eighth straight start, leading
the Los Angeles Angels over
the Texas Rangers 6-2 Tuesday
night.
Mike Trout also homered as
Los Angeles beat the AL West
leaders for the second straight
day. The charging Angels and
Rangers have two games left in
the series.
Weaver (14-1) gave up two
runs and five hits in 6 1-3 in-
nings. He became the eighth
AL pitcher since 1921 to win at
least six games without a loss
in July.
White Sox 4, Twins 3
MINNEAPOLIS A.J. Pier-
zynski hit a two-run home run
in the ninth inning and the
Chicago White Sox held on to
beat the Minnesota Twins 4-3
Tuesday night.
After Alex Rios singled off
Jeff Gray (5-1), Pierzynski hit a
0-2 pitch into the right field
bleachers for his second homer
in as many nights.
Matt Thornton (3-6) pitched
a 1-2-3 eighth for the win.

Say it HERE

the reason that the decision I have
made is so difficult for me. I
think it is important to say that
this situation is not something
that I wished for myself, but it has
happened, nonetheless. My family
and I have spent many hours in re-
cent days trying to decide what
will be best for me as I look to the
future both personally and pro-
fessionally.
I can honestly say that, ulti-
mately, this decision is about so
much more than football. I contin-
ue to have aspirations for my life,
and as my family and I considered
thebigger picturebothonandoff
the field it became clearer to me
that USCwill be the best fit for my
academic, athletic, and personal
needs over the next two years.
Because of the sanctions levied
against Penn State, Redd will be
able to play immediately for the
Trojans this fall.
USC coach Lane Kiffin and his
staff wasted no time in their pur-
suit of Redd, informing Penn State
just hours after the penalties were
handed down that they would be
recruiting Redd, as permitted by
the NCAAs ruling.
Kiffin met with Redd in Connec-
ticut last Thursday, setting up an
official visit to Los Angeles over
the weekend. Redd flew home on
Monday and then returned to
State College on to talk with
OBrien face-to-face on Tuesday
before announcing his decision.
Redd goes from one program
dealing with sanctions to another.
Both Penn State and USC face
scholarship reductions, with the
Trojans still under penalty be-
cause of impermissible benefits
given to former Heisman winner
Reggie Bush.
But USCs postseason ban has
just ended, and the Trojans are fa-
vored to win a national title an
opportunity not available at Penn
State, which cant play in a bowl
game until the 2016 season.
At USC, weve seen both sides
of this issue, having lost a number
of players to transfer due to our
NCAA sanctions in 2010, USC
athletic director Pat Haden said in
a statement. But Lane Kiffin and
his coaches would not be doing
their job if they did not try to im-
prove our team every single day.
There is a specific needhere for
a player like Silas Redd, so Lane
and our coaches recruited him
within the guidelines set up in this
instance by the NCAA.
Reddjoins quarterbackRobBol-
den, tight end Kevin Haplea and
walk-on safety Tim Buckley as
players who have left the team in
the wake of sanctions handed
down in the fallout of the Jerry
Sandusky scandal. Redds depar-
ture is by far the most damaging
for the Lions, who do not have an
obvious replacement lined up.
Recently named a Doak Walker
Award watch list candidate for the
countrys top running back, Redd
ran for 1,241 yards and seven
touchdowns as a sophomore, top-
ping 5 yards per carry.
The group tasked with replac-
ing that production includes Bill
Belton, Derek Day, Curtis Dukes,
Akeel Lynch and Zach Zwinak.
But serious question marks sur-
round the situation.
Dukes settled in as Redds top
backup last year but missed all of
spring practice to focus on aca-
demics. He remains undecided
about returning to the team.
When Dukes was out, Belton
made the switch from receiver to
tailback and was listed right be-
hind Redd on the summer depth
chart. He saw some time running
out of the wildcat as a freshman at
the end of last season.
Lynch holds promise as a true
freshmanbut also is reportedly be-
ing courted by other teams and is
still on the fence about his future.
Day is a former walk-on who
earned a scholarship last season.
Zwinak was a top-rated fullback in
high school but has been ham-
pered by injuries before moving to
tailback this spring.
Redd, meanwhile, will battle for
USCs startingjobwithsenior Cur-
tis McNeal.
Penn State gave me a phenom-
enal opportunitytobecomepart of
a legendary football program,
Redd said. My teammates, my
coaches past and present and
the staff have provided me with a
tremendous amount of guidance
and support since I arrived, and I
cant thank them enough for their
time, their advice, andtheir friend-
ship. They have given me such a
strong foundation from which I
can continue to grow.

STATE COLLEGE Scan-
dal tainted their school and the
legacy of a Hall of Fame coach.
Now anguished Penn State
football fans and a university
community have found burly
rallying points upon which to
close ranks: the players them-
selves caught in the middle of
one of the worst episodes ever
in college athletics.
Serenaded by a pep band, at
least 2,500 blue-and-white back-
ers, alumni and local business
owners rallied outside the foot-
ball building Tuesday in sup-
port of the Nittany Lions as they
arrived for early-morning off-
season workouts.
Many aficionados also hoped
their high-fives and supportive
signs might be enough to entice
players debating their futures to
stay in light of the strict NCAA
sanctions imposed on Penn
State last week.
These kids, theyve been
fighting an uphill battle for
eight months, and its nothing
that they did, said former play-
er Keith Conlin, a local busi-
nessman and online radio show
host who helped organized the
rousing event. We want to let
them know that we have their
backs.
Were not going to leave
them and run away.
Most players interviewed af-
ter the rally andvoluntary work-
out said they hoped all of their
teammates would stick around,
but would honor their decisions
regardless.
Each player came here for
different reasons and with dif-
ferent objectives, tight end
Garry Gilliam said.
Whenit comes downtoit, Id
like them to stay, but if they
dont Ill respect their deci-
sions.
Tuesdays rally at dawn was
part of an effort by agonized
fans to back the players who
have become bright spots in
troubling times.
A pep band played while fans
wearing blue-and-white attire
lined the sidewalks to slap high-
fives and shake hands with Li-
ons players as they snaked their
way to their workouts. The
scene resembled the team en-
trance to home games at Beaver
Stadium on fall Saturdays.
It was so cool. I couldnt be-
lieve how loud it was, Zordich
said. This just goes to show
why were still here and why
were going to fight this thing
through.
Coach Bill OBrien also called
a teammeetingfor Tuesday eve-
ning, after which Conlin and
more than 260 other former
Penn State players met with the
current teamin another showof
support.
This team is going to go
down in history for sticking
with the school and showing
that loyalty, said former player
and current school trustee
Adam Taliaferro.
Ive told everyone its a per-
sonal decision, but I want all the
players who are thinking about
leaving to think about what you
have here. Youre not going to
have any other fans like this in
the whole world.

2012 LONDON OLYMPIC GAMES
WIMBLEDON, England
Andy Roddick sprinted to scoop
up a ball near the net, then back-
pedaled for another shot, leap-
ing, stretching and swinging in
one desperate motion. He
whacked the ball into a camera
bay.
So it went Tuesday for Rod-
dick, outclassed by Novak Djo-
kovic in the second round of the
Olympics at Wimbledon, 6-2, 6-1.
I hit the ball fine, Roddick
said. He was just too good from
the baseline. He was seeing it like
a basketball.
Roddick was not alone in his
praise.
It was a perfect matchinevery
sense, Djokovic said.
The drubbing was a dismal re-
sult for Roddick, whose declining
fortunes in recent months have
left him fending off questions
about retirement.
Playing under the Centre
Court roof, Djo-
kovic closed the
victory with con-
secutive aces. Rod-
dick then quickly
left the court
where he lost three Wimbledon
finals, and was noncommittal
about the possibility he wont be
back.
Its not close to my mind right
now, the 29-year-old Roddick
said. Thats not something that
Im going to talk about.
While Roddick was done in on-
ly 54 minutes, No. 5-seeded Jo-
Wilfried Tsonga of France ad-
vanced by winning the longest
set in Olympic history. He beat
Milos Raonic of Canada 6-3, 3-6,
25-23. The final set lasted three
hours and 257 points.

Rogers, Dalhausser rally
Americans Todd Rogers and Phil
Dalhausser rallied for a 19-21, 21-16,
15-13 victory against Spain and remain
unbeaten in the preliminary round of
the beach volleyball tournament.
Defending world champions and
top-seeded Emanuel and Alison of
Brazil also won, beating Switzerland.
On the womens side, Americans
April Ross and Jennifer Kessy needed
three sets to beat the Netherlands.
SOCCER
U.S. women clinch group
The United States clinched first
place in its group in womens soccer
with a 1-0 win over North Korea.
Abby Wambach scored in the 25th
minute for her 141st international goal
and third of the tournament. Wambach
and Co. then celebrated by coercing
goaltender Hope Solo to get on the
ground and do the worm.
Nearly 30,000 attended the first
womens soccer game played in 23
years at Old Trafford.
EQUESTRIAN
Royal family celebrates
Zara Phillips gave the royal family
plenty to cheer about, helping team
Britain to a second-place equestrian
finish behind Germany. Princes Wil-
liam and Harry and Williams wife,
Kate, were in the stands to watch their
cousin as she competed in the show
jumping final portion of Olympic event-
ing.
Phillips mother, Princess Anne,
watched as well, then presented her
daughter and the rest of the winners
with their medals at the ceremony
before horses and riders took a victory
lap around the stadium.
VOLLEYBALL
PSU grad leads USA
Clay Stanley scored 16 points and the
U.S. mens team improved to 2-0 in
preliminary pool play with a three-set
victory over Germany.
Penn State alum Matt Anderson
added 15 points in the 25-23, 25-16,
25-20 win for the defending Olympic
champions. The Germans were led by
Georg Grozer with 12.
Serbia, Bulgaria and Italy each won
in four sets.
WATER POLO
Shaking off a slow start
Ryan Bailey and Peter Varellas
scored three goals apiece and the Unit-
ed States recovered from a slow start to
beat Romania 10-8 in the mens tourna-
ment.
The U.S., which took silver four
years ago in Beijing, and gold medal-
favorite Serbia are tied for the Group B
lead with four points apiece after two
matches. Serbia beat host Britain 21-7.
Montenegro, Croatia and Australia
also won. Greece and Italy played to a
7-7 tie.
BOXING
A controversial decision
Carlos Suarez was upset with the
scoring after he dropped a 16-6 deci-
sion to Turkeys Ferhat Pehlivan.
Five ringside judges decided the
awkward Pehlivan who probably
slipped and fell to the canvas more
than a dozen times during the bout
landed more scoring punches. Suarez,
who is from Ohio but is fighting for his
mothers homeland of Trinidad and
Tobago, called it a horrible decision.
Light flyweight Mark Barriga easily
handled Italys Manuel Cappai in the
opening bout for the only Filipino
boxer, earning a 17-7 victory.
SAILING
Dane maintains solid lead
Ben Ainslie is still chasing Den-
marks Jonas Hoegh-Christensen in the
Finn class.
Hoegh-Christensen finished first and
second in a pair of races for a 10-point
lead over Ainslie after six races. Bri-
tains Ainslie had finishes of 4-3 as the
24-boat fleet sailed in winds that reac-
hed 17 knots.
Ainslie is trying to win his fourth
straight gold medal and fifth games
medal overall. If he wins gold, hell
supplant Hoegh-Christensens country-
man, Paul Elvstrom, as the greatest
sailor in Olympic history.
Irelands Annalise Murphy continued
her surreal run in the Laser Radial,
winning her fourth straight race.

China staying strong
Chen Ruolin and Wang Hao led Chi-
na to its third diving gold in London,
this one off the big tower in womens
10-meter synchronized diving. China
won going away with 368.40 points,
and the country is nearly halfway to its
goal of sweeping the eight events.
Mexicos Paola Espinosa and 15-year-
old Alejandra Orozco took the silver,
and Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline
Filion won the bronze for Canada.

LONDON Halftime ended.
Showtime began.
The U.S. mens Olympic bas-
ketball team needed a while but
eventually put on the show fans
came to see, beat-
ing Tunisia 110-63
on Tuesday night.
Finally pulling
away when coach
Mike Krzyzewski
started the re-
serves to open the
second half, the
Americans had
six players in dou-
ble figures andim-
proved to 2-0 in
the tournament.
Krzyzewski in-
sists heplannedto
start the second
unit even before a lackluster first
half, and said he there was noth-
ing bad about the Americans
performance.
Its not going to a perfect
thing, you know? he said. But
overall tonight was good. I
mean, come on, it was 110-63.
True, it was a 47-point blow-
out, but the lead was just 13 at
the half and he sure didnt look
pleased as he walked quickly to
the locker room. But if he didnt
see anything wrong, the players
sure did though they werent
concerned.
We told him, dont get wor-
ried, Carmelo Anthony said.
Were all right.
They sure were.
Anthony, Deron Williams,
Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love
and Andre Iguodala opened the
was in hand. Durant had 13 and
rookie Anthony Davis dunked
his way to 12.
But they had to work hard to
make this one look easy.
The game against the Olympic
newcomers wasnt expected to
be close for more than a fewmin-
utes.
The daily preview in the press
center said it could prove to be
one of the most lopsided match-
ups of London 2012.
The Americans maybe expect-
ed this would simply be like a
practice they even decided to
cancel Wednesdays workout
some 11 hours earlier.
Yet they found themselves in a
five-point game late in the first
half, launching 3-pointers when
they couldnt be stopped inside.
The second unit simply ap-
peared to compete much harder,
with Williams even playing one
defensive possession with one
shoe after the other fell off.
Its a different game to get
ready for and I thought as a team
overall we were ready, but it took
like our bench to get us going de-
fensively, Krzyzewski said.

China were booed off the Olym-
pic court Tuesday after appear-
ing to intentionally lose against
South Koreans Jung Kyun-eun
and Kim Ha-na in a preliminary
womens match. The South Ko-
reans also didnt look as if they
were trying to win at times.
The reason? Both teams had
toppedtheir groups andqualified
for the last 16, but the result en-
sured top seeds Wang and Yu
avoided playing their No. 2-seed-
ed teammates until the final.
Both teams dumped serves in-
tothe net andmade simple errors

LONDON Vincent Han-
cock nearly retired from compe-
tition a year ago, then decided to
chase another Olympic gold
medal.
Smart move.
At 23, Hancock is a two-time
Olympic champion in mens
skeet shooting, successfully de-
fending his crown Tuesday with
a score of 148 to take the top spot
at the London Games.
Anders Golding of Denmark
finished two targets back to win
the silver, and Qatars Nasser Al-
Attiya won a shoot-off over Rus-
sias Valery Shomin for the
bronze at the
Royal Artillery
Barracks.
Being able
to stand back
up there again
and listen to
the national
anthem again,
its got to be better, said Han-
cock, a U.S. Army sergeant and
thefirst skeet shooter towincon-
secutive Olympic titles. But it
hasnt set in fully yet.
Hancocks win gave the U.S. a
skeet sweep after Kimberly
Rhode won the womens compe-
tition earlier this week.
After setting an Olympic re-
cordwithascoreof
123 out of a possi-
ble 125 in qualify-
ing Tuesday, Han-
cock entered the
medal round with
a one-target lead. When Golding
missed, Hancocks lead was two
with seven targets remaining.
In skeet, thats massive.
I had no chance, Golding
said.
So much has changed since
Hancock was the wide-eyed teen
in Beijing. He and his wife now
have two small children. Hes
been busy planning for life after
his military service ends.
I wasnt enjoying myself go-
ing out there anymore, Han-
cock said. I didnt want to go
train, and for this sport you have
tobe dedicatedtoyour training.
At the end of the year, he said,
he knew he had to figure some-
thing out.
So my wife and I reassessed
what we wanted to do, he said.
We prayed about it a lot, and we
came up with, This is my pas-
sion. This is what I love to do, ev-
ery single day.
So does the direction change
now? Not a chance.
Just keep going, Hancock
said. Win as many medals as
possible and hopefully build my
legacy.

ceived a free ball in the goal-
mouth, then spun to her left and
around an Argentine defender.
Selenski fired a shot toward the
goal that was deflected by goal-
keeper Laura del Colle for a cor-
ner -- one of four on the night for
the Americans.
The U.S. played stellar de-
fense, holding Argentina without
a shot for the first 33 minutes of
play and allowing just three pen-
alty corners to a squad that
scored five times on corners Sun-
day in its opener against South
Africa.
When Argentina got shots on
goal, U.S. keeper Amy Swensen
turned aside the three shots that
got through. In all, Argentina had
six shots.
Taylor, a Syracuse University
graduate, beat defender Maria
Barrionuevo to a centering pass
fromMichelle Vittese in the 28th
minute. Vittese sent the ball into
the circle from the left wing, and
Taylor broke on the ball rushing
toward the far post.
Taylor extended for the ball
and lifted it into the roof of the
goal, well over a diving del Colle.
Swensens best stop came with
21 minutes remaining, as she
made a right foot save on an un-
contestedblast by Martina Caval-
lerofrom8yards out inthe center
of the circle.
Carolyn Nichols broke up a 3
on 2 and made a key clear on Ar-
gentinas first corner to anchor
the defense, which was the star
on this night. The unit held the
worlds top player, Luciana Ay-
mar, without ashot in64invisible
minutes.
The United States had never
beatenArgentina infour previous
Olympic matches. Argentina has
medaled in each of the last three
Games, including a silver in
2000.
The American squad has one
medal to its credit, a bronze in
the boycotted 1984 event in Los
Angeles. That medal was won in
a tiebreaking shootout, as the
tournament was a round robin
without a medal round.
With the win, the U.S. (1-1)
now has three points in the
Group B standings, sitting tied
with Argentina (1-1). New Zeal-
and (2-0, ranked No. 6 in world)
has six points. Germany (1-0,
ranked No. 3 in world) also has
three points but still has a game
against Australia (0-1), the No. 7
team in the world. South Africa
(0-2) completes the group.
The Americans have played
their toughest two foes in their
first two games. Australia is next
up on Thursday morning.
Selenski, who had two shots
Sunday, added a third in Tues-
days game.
She also saw an increase in
playing time.
Selenski played 47 minutes
against Argentina after seeing
just 34 minutes of action in the

Shannon Taylor (center) is embraced by her teammates after scor-
ing the lone goal against Argentina on Tuesday. Dallas grad Paige
Selenski made her second appearance of the Games in the win.
About an hour earlier, Phelps
took one of his most frustrating
defeats at the pool, blowing it at
the finishandsettlingfor silver in
his signature event, the 200 but-
terfly.
That tied the record for career
medals held by Soviet gymnast
Larisa Latynina, but it was hardly
a triumphant moment. Phelps
slung away his cap in disgust and
struggled to force a smile at the
medal ceremony.
But any disappointment from
that race was gone by the time he
dived in the water on the relay,
having beenstakedto a huge lead
by teammates Ryan Lochte, Co-
nor Dwyer and Ricky Berens.
Before the race, they all hud-
dled together, fully aware of their
role in history.
I thanked those guys for help-
ing me get to this moment,
Phelps said. I told those guys I
wanted a big lead. I was like, You
better give me a big leadgoing in-
to the last lap, and they gave it to
me. I just wanted to hold on. I
thankedthemfor being able to al-
low me to have this moment.
Berens handed off a lead of
nearly 4 seconds to Phelps, who
was extra cautious with the ex-
change, knowing the only way he
could ruin this one was to get dis-
qualified.
Lochte stood on the deck, wav-
ing his arms. Dwyer and Berens
pumped their fists. And Phelps
touched the wall for his first gold
of the London Games with a cu-
mulative time of 6 minutes, 59.70
seconds.
No one else was close. Frances
YannickAgnel swama faster final
leg than Phelps, but it wasnt
nearly good enough, his country
taking silver in 7:02.77. China
was far back in third at 7:06.30.
Phelps might have backed into
the record a bit by failing to win
any of his first three events at
these games, but theres no deny-
ing his legacy as one of the great-
est Olympians ever if not THE
greatest.
The legacy he has left behind
for swimming is fantastic, said
South African Chad le Clos, the
guywhobeat himinthebutterfly.
Even in Africa, everyone knows
Michael Phelps.
Phelps has 15 golds in his ca-
reer, six more than anyone else,
to go along with two silvers and
two bronzes. After failing to med-
al inhis only race at the 2000 Syd-
ney Games, he won six golds and
two bronzes in Athens, followed
by his epic eight gold medals in
Beijing. And now the swan song,
not nearly as epic but enough.
Latynina won nine golds, five
silvers and four bronzes from
1956-64.
You are now a complete leg-
end! the public-address announ-
cer bellowed, accompanied by
the Foo Fighters song Best of
You.
Phelps still has three more
events in London before he re-
tires, three more chances to es-
tablish a mark that will be hard
for anyone to touch.
It has been a pretty amazing
career, the 27-year-old said, but
westill haveacoupleraces togo.
Several fans heldupa bedsheet
with PHELPS GREATEST
OLYMPIAN EVER handwritten
on it.
Hard to argue with that,
though this hasnt exactly been
the farewell Phelps was hoping
for a sluggish fourth-place fin-
ish in the 400 individual medley,
a runner-up showing in the 4x100
free relay, then another silver in
the 200 fly.
The 200 fly was a race he had
not lost at either the Olympics or
world championships since Syd-
ney, when he finished fifth as an
unknown15-year-oldjust soaking
up the moment, a kid with big
dreams but no idea they would
turn out like this.
Phelps, after leading the entire
race, tried to glide into the wall
instead of taking one more
stroke. Le Clos took that extra
stroke and beat Phelps by five-
hundredths of a second.
Obviously I would have liked
to have a better outcome in the
200 fly, Phelps said. I was on
the receiving end of getting tou-
ched out. Chad swam a good
race. Ive gottentoknowhima lit-
tle over the last year. Hes a hard
worker, hes a tough competitor
and hes a racer.
Le Clos pounded the water
when he saw the 1 beside his
name.
He has always beenaninspira-
tion to me and a role model, le
Clos said. Ive watched all his
races a million times and Ive run
the commentary over and over.
Now, I guess I can watch my
race.
Phelps hung on the lane rope
and buried his face in his hands,
disgustedwithhimself for having
squandered what looked like a
sure gold. Le Clos won South
Africas secondswimminggoldof
the games in a time of 1:52.96.
Phelps finished in 1:53.01, while
Japans Takeshi Matsudatookthe
bronze in 1:53.21.
Its obviously my last one,
Phelps said. I would have liked
to win, but 1:53 flat isnt a terrible
time. When you look at the pic-
ture of it, its a decent time.
After losing the 200 fly, he re-
trieved his cap, went over to con-
gratulate le Clos, and hustled out
of the pool to get ready for the re-
lay. Before that, Phelps had to re-
turn to the deck for a medal cere-
mony that he clearly would have
preferred to skip. He bit his lip,
leaned over to have the silver
medal draped around his neck,
and forced a weak smile.
It sure didnt feel like a celebra-
tion.
But the mood was much differ-
ent when he came out with his
teammates to accept gold for the
relay. He bantered playfully with
the crowd. He posed with an
American flag. He propped up a
chair tryingtoreachhis momand
two sisters, sitting in the front
row.
As Phelps lingeredonthe deck,
doing television interviews, a
crowd of U.S. supporters broke
into a chant.
Four more years! Four more
years!
But, really, whats left for some-
one whos already the greatest?

the best U.S. teamof all time. Ro-
mania won the bronze.
Others might disagree. The
96 team might disagree. But
this is the best team, U.S. coach
John Geddert said.
The Americans didnt botch a
single routine, and all but three
of their 12 scores were 15.0 or
higher. The Russians, onthe oth-
er hand, hadjust onescoreabove
15intheir last twoevents as they
unraveled down the stretch.
They sat on the sidelines snif-
fling and watching glumly as the
Americans turned their final
event, floor exercise, into a coro-
nation.
When the final standings
flashed, chants of U-S-A! U-
S-A! rocked the arena, and the
U.S. women, who backed up to
get a better view of the score-
board, held up their index fin-
gers for the cameras in case
anyone had a doubt.
The feeling was incredible,
world champion Jordyn Wieber
said. To have this gold medal
around your neck, its really an
indescribable feeling.
The Americans had come into
the last two Olympics as world
champions, only to leave with-
out the gold. But national team
coordinator Martha Karolyi rec-
ognized six months ago that this
was a special group, stronger
than previous U.S. teams.
Its not just the titles these
Americans have won, though
there are plenty: last years team
gold at the world champion-
ships, along with Wiebers all-
around crown and McKayla Ma-
roneys title on vault. Its their
fierce competitiveness, and the
unshakable faith they have in
themselves. Rather than flinch-
ing under the weight of the
heavy expectations, it made
them stronger. When they no-
ticed the Russians and Roma-
nians peeking in on their train-
ingsessions, theycrankedupthe
oomph in their routines, the bet-
ter to intimidate.
Even Wiebers failure to qual-
ify for the all-around final, which
left her teammates stunned fol-
lowing Sundays sessions, turn-
edout tobe a minor speedbump.
I told them just believe in
yourself, Maroney said. Live
up to that Olympic moment, be-
cause youre never, ever going to
forget it.
Unforgettable, like their per-
formance.
The Americans opened on
vault, their strongest event, un-
leashing a barrage right that let
the Russians know in no uncer-
tain terms that they and ev-
eryone else would be playing
for silver.
Theyre just so far ahead of
anyone else, Britains Rebecca
Tunney said.
All of the Americans do the
high-difficulty, high-scoring
Amanar a roundoff onto the
takeoff board, back handspring
onto the table and 2.5 twisting
somersaults before landing. Its
got a start value the measure
of difficulty of 6.5, a whop-
ping 0.7 above the vault most
other gymnasts do, and they
ripped off one massive one after
another.
Going first, Wieber did per-
haps the best one shes ever
done, getting great height in the
air, her legs locked together.
When her feet slammed into the
mat onlanding, she threwupher
arms and smiled broadly. Any-
onewonderinghowshewas cop-
ing with the devastation she felt
Sunday had their answer.
I was pretty disappointed,
but I had to put it together men-
tally, especially for this team,
Wieber said. Ateamgoldmedal
was also officially a goal of mine,
and I had to pull myself together
and move on and be stronger
mentally for the team.
Gabby Douglas went next,
and her vault was even better.
Then came Maroney, who may
as well claim her Olympic vault
gold now. She got so much
height on her Amanar its a won-
der she didnt bump her head on
the overhead camera.
She hit the mat with tremen-
dous force yet didnt so much as
wiggle, triumphantly thrusting
her arms inthe air as she saluted
the judges.
The Americans struttedout of
the event with a 1.7-point lead,
and never looked back.
We definitely started the
competition with a bang, Maro-
ney said.

CALL AHEAD FOR TEE TIMES
LATROBE Time will tell
how the relationship between
Todd Haley and quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger will evolve.
But for now, the Pittsburgh
Steelers offensive coordinator is
making his quarterbacks eyes
light up.
Entering his ninth season,
Roethlisberger has long publi-
cly campaigned to run more no-
huddle offense in which he car-
ries more play-calling respon-
sibilities. Haley, in his first sea-
son with the team, said on Tues-
day the no-huddle will be... a
big part of our offense.
(Roethlisberger) has shown
a propensity to do that at a high
level, Haley said. Ideally, if
you have a quarterback like Ben
andwhat hes done, whenhes in
full control, thats a good situa-
tiontobe inbecause hes right in
the middle of it and seeing
whats going on.
The Steelers spent a signifi-
cant portion of their practice on
Tuesday placing special empha-
sis on running the no-huddle.
As the players continue to as-
similate themselves intoHaleys
system, Roethlisberger would
seem to need to master an ad-
vanced understanding of the of-
fense before he couldbe entrust-
ed to run the no-huddle.
It requires some attention, of
course its new, coach Mike
Tomlin said. But I like where
the group is. Its obvious that we
made good use of our offseason
time. WhenI talkabout that, Im
talking about (Organized Team
Activities) and minicamp, but
its a process.
Ben, I can tell through the
spring, hes got his arms around
it, he likes it, Haley said. You
can see his eyes light up a little
bit when we get into that mode,
and I think thats the sign of a
great quarterback. The ones Ive
been around, they want it. Give
me control, let me run this
thing.
And he has the ability to do
it, as hes shown in the past and
through the spring.

High hopes for a
no-huddle offense
Todd Haley has begun to put
his stamp on the Steelers
offense in training camp.
The Associated Press
NAPA, Calif. Inanoffseason
full of changes for the Oakland
Raiders, perhaps the most posi-
tive development has been the
health of a returning star.
Running back Darren McFad-
den has opened training camp
the way he looked in offseason
workouts, showingthe speedand
ability that has made him one of
the NFLs dangerous backs when
healthy.
The problem for McFadden
and the Raiders (tied 23rd in AP
Pro 32) in recent years has been
his health as he has missed 19
games in his first four seasons
withfoot, toe, shoulder, knee and
hamstring injuries.
If somebodys got an answer
for it I would love for themto tell
me, because I need that, McFad-
den said when asked how to
avoid injuries.
McFaddens most recent injury
came last Oct. 23 while he was
catching a pass early in a loss to
the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Raiders originally de-
scribed the injury as a sprained
right foot and designated him
week-to-week.
But it was actually a more seri-
ous Lisfranc injury that cost him
the final nine games of the season
and was a big reason why Oak-
land missed the playoffs. McFad-
den said it was April before he
could run again but he nowlooks
like his former self.
I just want to come out there
and pick up where I left off,
McFadden said. The type of in-
jury that I had is something that
set me downfor a long time. Alot
of people may think its hard to
bounce back and get back in the
flow of things, but for me, once
Im out there on the field, I feel
like Im at home, so I just get out
there and try to pick up where I
left off.
McFadden was off to a fast
start last seasonbefore the injury.
He led the NFL with 610 yards
rushing through six games and
felt he had a shot at an1,800-yard
season.
He also added129 yards receiv-
ing and scored five total touch-
downs as the Raiders opened the
season 4-2.
McFadden topped 100 yards
rushing eight times in a 15-game
spanbetween2010 and2011as he
finally showed signs of being the
big-play back the Raiders
thought they found when they
drafted him fourth overall in
2008.
I think we all understand that
hes an explosive playmaker for
us and we need himto be healthy
for the entire season, coachDen-
nis Allen said.
One of the biggest disappoint-
ments for the Raiders last season
is they never got the chance to
see their offense at full power.
McFadden got hurt early in the
game during which Carson Palm-
er made his debut as quarter-
back.
Since Palmer had arrived in
Oakland only earlier that week,
the two never even got a chance
to play together on the practice
field until this spring.
With Palmers deep-strike
passing ability, a bevy of speedy
receivers on the outside and a
healthy McFadden, the Raiders
have all the ingredients to field
their most high-powered offense
in years.
I help this team go a lot but
Imnot the onlyplayer out there,
McFadden said. You know we
have a lot of players out there that
make plays.
I have a big role in the offense,
but we have a lot of guys that are
going to step up and make plays
also.
McFadden trying to stay healthy
The Raiders running back has
been impressive when he
can actually stay on the field.

Big rise in home prices
Average home prices in the nations
20 biggest cities rose 2.2 percent in
May from the prior month, according
to a closely watched index, marking
the second consecutive month of im-
provement.
It was the second gain after seven
months of declines for the Standard &
Poors/Case-Shiller index of 20 large
cities. It was the strongest month-over-
month percentage gain in more than a
decade. The key index was still down
0.7 percent compared with May 2011.
All 20 cities in the index posted
positive monthly results.
Shell slows arctic drilling
Shell Oil Co. is downsizing its plan
for off-shore drilling in the Arctic this
year amid delays completing a spill
containment barge required by the
federal government, a spokesman said
Tuesday.
Shell now hopes to complete two
wells in 2012 instead of five. One would
be in the Beaufort Sea off the northern
Alaska coastline, and the other in the
Chukchi Sea off the northwest coast
between Alaska and Russia.
The companys ambitious two-year
goal of drilling 10 wells remains in
place, company spokesman Curtis
Smith said.
Cost cuts aid Pfizer
Pfizer overcame the expected sales
plunge from worsening generic compe-
tition to cholesterol blockbuster Lip-
itor, thanks to lower charges and re-
duced spending on production, re-
search and administration.
Net income jumped 25 percent to
$3.25 billion, or 43 cents per share.
Adjusted earnings were $4.67 billion,
or 62 cents per share 8 cents higher
than expected. Revenue fell 9 percent
to $15.06 billion.
Quebec rejects Lowes
The Quebec provincial government
said that the potential for a hostile
takeover of Canadas largest home
improvement chain by a U.S. rival is
not in the provinces or the nations
interest after Rona Inc. rejected a $1.75
billion offer from Lowes, of Moores-
ville, N.C.
Quebec finance minister Raymond
Bachand said he may intervene to
block any further attempt to buy Rona.
Any foreign takeover of Rona would
require federal government approval.

T
he Mohegan Tribal Gaming Au-
thority reported Tuesday that
third quarter profit plunged by
nearly 68 percent but noted the casino
it owns in Plains Township has done
much better than its flagship property
in Uncasville, Conn.
Theres no doubt our third quarter
results were lackluster, Mitchell
Grossinger Etess, chief executive offi-
cer of the authority, told investors and
reporters ona conference call onTues-
day. We faced difficult year-over-year
comparisons, persisting economic
concerns and significant new supply
in the marketplace.
But while Connecticut numbers
were downacross the board, authority
officials noted their smaller property
in Luzerne County showed plenty of
positive signs including the largest
slot revenue increase in the state in
June.
While income from operations was
down 20.4 percent at the Connecticut
property, it was up 39.6 percent local-
ly. When looking only at gaming reve-
nues, the Connecticut casino reported
a 9.2 percent decline in the quarter
compared to a 3.2 percent increase at
the Plains Township facility.
The authority compensated for the
lower revenue at the Connecticut
property by eliminating 10 tables and
405 slot machines; locally the num-
bers remained steady.
Etess blamed much of the compa-
nys decrease in profit on the strug-
gling economy and competition for
the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecti-
cut, particularly from expanded gam-
bling at the Resorts World Casino that
opened last year at Aqueduct race
track in Queens, N.Y.
Whenaskedif Julys activityindicat-
ed a reversal in the downward trend
from the past three months, Etess re-
sponded were not seeing a signifi-
cant difference between the last
month or two and July.
The authoritys financial report
showed net income for the April-June
period was $9.4 million, down 67.9
percent from the same period last
year. Revenue of $344.4 million was
down 4.7 percent in the third quarter
compared with $361.4 million in the
same quarter last year.

NEW YORK Settlement deals
reached between federal prosecu-
tors and three Internet poker com-
panies call for more than a half bil-
lion dollars to be paid to the gov-
ernment, enabling U.S. poker play-
ers to recover several hundred
million dollars lost when the com-
panies shut down U.S. operations
last year, authorities said Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Leonard B.
Sand approved settlement agree-
ments with PokerStars and Full
Tilt Poker. A separate agreement
between the government and a
third company, Absolute Poker,
had not yet been approved by the
court.
PokerStars said in a release that
its deal with the U.S. Department
of Justice calls for it to pay the
government $547 million over
three years with the money being
used in part to reimburse former
U.S. customers of Full Tilt Poker
who are owed $184 million. Poker-
Stars said it has acquired the as-
sets of Full Tilt Poker.
The U.S. operations of the com-
panies were shut down when the
government last year brought
criminal charges against various
poker company executives and
those who helped the companies
process money.
The government said the settle-
ments do not constitute admis-
sions of wrongdoing, liability or
guilt by any of the parties. The
deal with PokerStars allows it to
reenter the U.S. market if laws
change to permit online poker.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney
Preet Bharara said the deals will
allow us to quickly get significant
compensation into the victim play-
ers hands.
Jerry Bernstein, a lawyer for Ab-
solute Poker, said the companys
deal with the government calls for
it to forfeit its assets to the gov-
ernment.
Two Internet poker firms to repay customers
By LARRY NEUMEISTER
Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. An attorney for
Apple told a jury Tuesday that rival
Samsung faced two options to compete
in the booming cellphone market after
Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone to
critical acclaim in 2007: Innovate or
copy.
Attorney Harold McElhinny claimed
Samsung Electronics Inc. chose to
copy, making its smartphones and
computer tablets illegal knockoffs of
Apples popular products.
Samsung has copied the entire de-
sign and user experience of Apples
iPhone and iPad, McElhinny told a 10-
person jury during his opening remarks
at the closely watched patent trial.
Samsung has previously countered
that Apple did the stealing. It has also
said some of the technology at issue
such as the rounded rectangular de-
signs of smartphones and tablets
has been the industry standard for
years.
Apple filed its lawsuit against Sam-
sung last year and is demanding $2.5
billion in damages, an award that
would dwarf the largest patent-related
verdict to date.
The case marks the latest skirmish
between the two companies over prod-
uct designs. A similar trial began last
week, and the two companies have
been fighting in other courts in the
United Kingdom and Germany.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San
Jose last month ordered Samsung to
pull its Galaxy 10.1 computer tablet
from the U.S. market pending the out-
come of the patent trial. However, she
barred Apple attorneys from telling ju-
rors about the ban.
In some sense, the big part of the
case is not Apples demands for damag-
es but whether Samsung gets to sell its
products, said Mark A. Lemley, a pro-
fessor and director of the Stanford Pro-
gram in Law, Science, and Technology.

Hello August, a
month that is
expected to be
warmer than
normal for us
and much of the
country. Rainfall
in midwest areas
being worst hit
by the drought
this summer is
expected to be
below normal.
Today that
deficit will shrink
a bit with the
likelihood of
having scattered
showers and
downpours.
Expect hotter
days heading
into this week-
end. The hottest
August tempera-
ture on record is
98 degrees, set
back in 2001.
-Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A frontal boundary and and upper-level trough of low pressure will combine
to produce scattered showers and thunderstorms along the Eastern Seaboard today. A few of these
storms could produce gusty winds. Another storm system will bring scattered thunderstorms to por-
tions of the northern Plains and the Upper Midwest.

TASTE S E C T I O N C
THE TIMES LEADER WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2012
timesleader.com
WERE HAVING steak
on the grill was music to
our ears growing up. We
loved this meal as chil-
dren and still do as
adults. There was not a
better dinner we could
ask for after a long days
work than a tasty steak and its accompani-
ments.
The long days work Im referring to was
tending the garden our dad would plant, big
enough to feed the entire Back Mountain. It
had to be weeded, watered and fertilized
with enough TLC that when the veggies
grew, they needed to be picked, plucked,
ended, snapped, unearthed or whatever was
needed to get them to our table with care.
Our meal consisted of a simple salad with
homegrown lettuce, cucumbers and toma-
toes. The steak was accompanied by fresh
sweet corn on the cob, yellow string beans
and red-skin potatoes with browned butter.
The Ultimate Ribeye Chef John is featur-
ing today can be done simply with your
favorite seasonings, or you might like to try
his flavor-enhancing recipe. Either way, pair
it with some of your favorite homegrown
vegetables, and you will have a healthy meal
all are sure to enjoy.
Oh, and save room for my favorite dess-
ert: ice cream. No matter how full you think
you are, it always slides down.
If you would rather sit back, relax and
enjoy this great dish, well prepare and serve
it to you. We will offer the Ultimate Ribeye
at Vanderlyns beginning today through the
weekend. For reservations or additional
features call Vanderlyns at 283-6260. Our

I
f you are going to all the trouble to
make ice pops at home, whats the
point of makingtheminorange, grape
and cherry? You can find those fla-
vors in any grocery-store freezer case.
Depending on where you shop and what
brand you buy, youll probably get them for a
lot less money than you would spend to make
them from scratch. If all you want to do is
satisfy the summer cravings of a 5-year-old,
homemade ice pops may not be worth the ef-
fort. But if you want to make the most of your
investment of time and ingredients and cre-
ate an ice pop that is bigger, better and bold
enough to satisfy even an adult craving for an
icy summer treat, read on.
Weve created ice pops that
will showcase classic flavor com-
binations without being cloying-
ly sweet. Some offer a little bit of
surprise.
Lemon-basil and grapefruit-
mint pops take advantage of
fresh summer herbs, with in-
fused syrups and fresh juices.
Raspberry-jalapeno offers a pep-
pery heat along with the sweet
for an enjoyable fire-and-ice
combination.
For a truly unique taste, freeze
pureed gazpacho into an ice pop
andserve as a fun, interactive ap-
petizer for summer parties. Its
also a great way to get kids to eat
their vegetables.
Finally, frozen sangria makes
for a delightfullyfruityadult treat
an over-21 version of a grape
ice pop.
When making alcoholic ice
pops, make drinks with a lighter
hand, because too much alcohol
wont freeze well and you could
be left with pops that fall apart.
Wine coolers work well for this
because theytypicallyhave a low-
er alcohol content by volume (3
to 5 percent) than wine (12 to 14
percent).
Ice-pop molds are easy to find.
We usedTovolo brandmolds pur-
chasedat TJ Maxxfor just $6.99a
set. The molds are 4 ounces each
and make for easy measuring.
But molds arent a requirement.

T
o me, summer is margarita sea-
son. My favorite classic margar-
ita is the Topolo, served at Rick
Bayless Topolobampo restaurant in
Chicago. It is properly shaken and
served in an appropriately small
martini glass. I cant stand trying to
drink out of stemmed glasses that
are too big for my mouth. I end up
drenched in my drink.
When the bartender is perfectly on
point, I can see tiny ice crystals in
the shimmering liquid. Catching a
few icy sips before the crystals melt
is my perfect prescription to unwind.
I know people drink them year-
round, but to me, a well-made mar-
garita is for hot weather. Summer
also is the only time of year (I think)
a frozen margarita takes the lead in
the great shaken vs. frozen debate.
The frozen margarita has taken
repeated hits from professional bar-
tenders and cocktail connoisseurs.
But I dont understand why. I consid-
er the frozen versions to live in their
own separate (and fun!) category. We
have all kinds of beer, wine, steaks,

etc. Why not margaritas?
This summer, I decided to
make my own version of the
Topolo margarita and freeze it
in fun frozen pop molds to make
a decidedly adult cocktail treat.
I called it a poptail.
I love making these because
they can be prepared up to a
week in advance and are ready
as soon as your guests arrive. Or
as soon as you get home from
work. I sometimes top the pops
off with a slice of lime that freez-
es at the base, just for the look
of it. You can embellish or not.
My recipe is simple. I use
freshly squeezed juice a
blend of tart lime and sweet
orange and sweeten it with
powdered sugar. The powdery
texture ensures the sugar dis-
solves, eliminating the need to
make simple syrup. Start with 2
tablespoons of powdered sugar
and add more if you wish.
I also add a bit of salt to echo
the salted rim of the cocktail
glass (and to balance the sweet-
ness). I like to use orange triple
sec and a top-shelf aged (anejo)
tequila to round out the flavor.
The recipe is customizable to
taste. You even can leave out the
booze for the kids. Just be sure
to use two different-shaped
molds to avoid mix-ups.

MARGARITA FROZEN POPS

This recipe makes a classic strong
margarita. If you want the poptails
to be low-test instead of high-test,
reduce the alcohol by half or double
the other ingredients. If you want to
make these pops without the alcohol
at all, add the juice of 1 extra orange
and an extra 1/4 cup of filtered water.
Pour into molds and freeze per the
manufacturers instructions.
Because of the alcohol in these
pops, they are a bit slower to freezer
than traditional recipes. Its best to
make them the day before.
Start to finish: 5 minutes, plus
overnight freezing
Servings: About 8 (depending on
the size of your molds)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, about 5 to
6 large limes
Juice of 1 large orange (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup filtered water
Pinch of fine-grain sea salt
3/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup triple sec
2 to 4 tablespoons powdered
sugar (to taste)
In a pitcher, combine the lime
juice, orange juice, water, salt, tequi-
la and triple sec. Stir well. Add the
powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a
time and stirring well between
additions. Taste to determine sweet-
ness, then continue stirring until the
sugar is completely dissolved.
Fill the pop molds, stopping about
1/2 inch from the top. The liquid will
expand to fill the sleeve as it freezes.
Put the Popsicle handles in place
and freeze overnight.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I found
out my husband has
been corresponding
with prostitutes he
picked up when we
went on vacation. He
emailed them twice,
but the second one
hurt me the most. He sent her money.
I confronted him and was ready to
end the marriage, but we have a son.
He denied having sexual contact
with the women and said he was just
flirting, so I forgave him. But I told
him I wont tolerate it a third time.
He agreed to have marriage counsel-
ing and do his part to change.
Is it worth it to try again for the
sake of our son? I dont trust him any-
more, but I still love him.
Ready to Let Go
Dear Ready: When a man gives
money to a hooker, its usually for a
reason. The reason isnt charity; its
for services he wants rendered.
No one can decide for you whether
or not to stay in the marriage, but
before making any decisions, contact
your doctor and be checked for STDs.
Who knows what your husband
might have picked up while flirting.
If you do decide to remain in the
marriage, youd be wise to schedule
regular appointments for STD check-
ups. Your husband has shown himself
to be not only a philanderer but also
a liar.
Dear Abby: I have been meaning to
write to you for a long time. Now that
we have gone through another year of
Mothers Day and Fathers Day, would
you PLEASE acknowledge those of
us who did NOT have a parent who
deserved to be honored? SOME PEO-
PLE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
TO BE PARENTS! I dread these
commercialized days every year. Our
planet does not lack for population.
We dont need more people.
There are horror stories every
day in the media about child abuse,
yet you honor these people without
qualification. For those who have par-
ents who deserve to be honored, Im
happy for you. But the celebration is
only salt in the wounds of those of us
who wish wed never been born.
One of Them in Longmont, Colo.
Dear One Of Them: I agree that
certain holidays can be painful for
those who cannot join in the celebra-
tion. This would include children and
adults who were abused or neglected
by their parents, as well as those who
no longer have living parents.
I doubt many people remain child-
less for the public good. Usually there
are deeply personal reasons for it. For
people who are childless by choice,
every day is an affirmation of their de-
cision. However, for those who want
children and cannot have them, their
loss can be excruciating.
Dear Abby: Can you give any advice
for a male in his 50s who is still a
virgin, who is afraid of being intimate
and hasnt even kissed a girl since
high school? Is it OK to live and enjoy
life this way, or is sex something that
every human should experience?
Curious in Florida
Dear Curious: If someone is happy
and enjoying life having never had
sexual relations, then its OK. How-
ever, if you are still a virgin because
of fear of intimacy, this is something
to discuss with a psychologist to help
you understand what caused your
fear and inability to trust, because
you could be getting more out of life
than you have settled for.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Wife should check if straying husband picked up more than a hooker
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youll
be willing to open new doors
and enter foreign territory in
the pursuit of fun. And you dont
have to wonder what will bring
you pleasure, because youll
be drawn inexplicably to such
things.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
know what your threshold for
frustration is, and if you see
that a task is likely to cross
the line, you are wise to either
delegate it or take it on as a
conscious exercise in personal
expansion.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Engaging,
entertaining people are said to
have a lot of personality. There
are instances when a lot of
personality gets tiring, though.
Small doses are the secret to
finding enjoyment with everyone
you encounter.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Success could come from any-
where, so stay open-minded.
Something that starts out as a
small but good idea will rapidly
snowball into a pretty big deal as
long as you dont do anything to
stop it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Few people
are so satisfied with the example
of relationships they have seen
in their family of origin that they
would hope to re-create the
exact same dynamic. Youll get
clear on what you want from
your inner circle.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Ask
yourself why you want to do,
have and be what you want to
do, have and be. The answer to
why will open a full range of
options to save you time, energy
and money.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When
you think of all the things youve
done while wearing your shoes,
youll have an excellent idea of
what it really would mean to
walk a mile in someone elses.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Whatever got your mind reeling
last night, its all over now. Your
inner sea is tranquil, dear water
sign, and theres just enough of a
breeze for smooth sailing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The Zen Master Suzuki Roshi
suggested, To control your cow,
give it a bigger pasture. You
need room to roam. If youre
having trouble sticking to the
plan, its because the plan isnt
expansive enough for you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Having no expectation of what is
to happen will make what does
happen more magical for you.
Things will work out, and all you
have to do is smile and watch.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Research, questions and theo-
retical explanations will not help
you figure out the puzzle before
you. To learn how things work,
watch them in action.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
may be able to shape someones
opinion or change a persons
mind. This wont happen by
force. Sit back, and watch how
things develop. Youll soon see
your perfect opening.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (August 1).
You refuse to let others define
your life. You do it your way and
are not only satisfied with the
result; youre also well compen-
sated for your effort. Your lucky
numbers are: 3, 4, 22, 39 and 16.

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND
NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST
RELEASE OF FUNDS
August 1, 2012
CITY OF WILKES-BARRE
40 EAST MARKET STREET
WILKES-BARRE, PA 18711
PHONE: (570) 208-4132
These notices shall satisfy two separate
but related procedural requirements for
activities to be undertaken by the City of
Wilkes-Barre.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about August 20,2012 the City of
Wilkes-Barre will submit a request to the
United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development for the release of
Community Development Block Grant
funds under Title I of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as
amended, to undertake a project known
as Demolition of the structure located at
550-552 North Pennsylvania Avenue,
Wilkes-Barre, PA.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT
The City of Wilkes-Barre has determined
that the projects will have no significant
impact on the human environment. There-
fore, an Environmental Impact Statement
under the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Addi-
tional project information is contained in
each Environmental Review Record (ERR)
on file at the Office of Economic & Com-
munity Development, 40 East Market
Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, and may
be examined or copied weekdays 9:00
A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency may sub-
mit written comments on the ERRs to the
Office of Economic & Community Develop-
ment. All comments received by August
17, 2012 will be considered by the City of
Wilkes-Barre prior to authorizing submis-
sion of a request for release of funds.
Comments should specify which Notice
they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The City of Wilkes-Barre certifies to HUD
Thomas M. Leighton in his capacity as
Mayor of the City of Wilkes-Barre con-
sents to accept the jurisdiction of the Fed-
eral Courts if an action is brought to
enforce responsibilities in relation to the
environmental review process and that
these responsibilities have been satisfied.
HUDs States approval of the certification
satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA
and related laws and authorities and
allows the City of Wilkes-Barre to use Pro-
gram funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF
FUNDS
HUD will accept objections to its release of
funds and the City of Wilkes-Barres certi-
fication for a period of fifteen days follow-
ing the anticipated submission date or its
actual receipt of the request (whichever is
later) only if they are on one of the follow-
ing bases: (a) the certification was not
executed by the Certifying Officer of the
City of Wilkes-Barre; (b) the City of Wilkes-
Barre has omitted a step or failed to make
a decision or finding required by HUD reg-
ulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant
recipient or other participants in the devel-
opment process have committed funds,
incurred costs or undertaken activities not
authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before
approval of a release of funds by HUD; or
(d) another Federal agency acting pur-
suant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted
a written finding that the project is unsat-
isfactory from the standpoint of environ-
mental quality. Objections must be pre-
pared and submitted in accordance with
the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58,
Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, HUD Pennsylvania State
Office, The Wanamaker Building, 100 Penn
Square East, Philadelphia, PA 19107-3380.
Potential objectors should contact HUD to
verify the actual last day of the objection
period.
