Zimmermans attorney says safety a concern

Mostly peaceful protests dont allay fears for man cleared in teens death

A man throws a trash can at the window early Sunday during a protest after George Zimmerman was found not guilty in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Oakland, Calif. Protesters held largely peaceful demonstrations in three California cities.

SANFORD, Fla. After a year and a half of living as a hermit, George Zimmerman emerged from a Florida courthouse a free man, cleared of all charges in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. His brother said the former neighborhood watch volunteer was still processing the reality that he wouldnt serve prison time for the killing, which Zimmerman, 29, has maintained

was an act of self-defense. Late Saturday night, a jury found him not guilty of second-degree murder and declined to convict him on a lesser charge of manslaughter. However, with many critics angry over his acquittal, his freedom may be limited. Hes going to be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life, Robert Zimmerman Jr. said during an interview on CNN. Demonstrators upset with the verdict protested mostly peacefully in Florida, Milwaukee, Washington, Atlanta and other cities overnight and into the early morning Sunday, but some broke windows and vandalized a police squad car in Oakland during protests in four

California cities, authorities said. Additional demonstrations were scheduled across the country through Sunday evening. Churches also made note of the verdict Sunday morning, with many leaders speaking about the case and urging peace in the aftermath. Some congregants wore hooded sweatshirts, as Martin had when he died, or shirts with the teens picture. Martins killing in February 2012 unleashed debate across the U.S. over racial proling, self-defense and equal justice. Protesters nationwide lashed out against police in the Orlando suburb of Sanford as it took 44 days for Zimmerman to be arrested. Many, including Martins parents, said Zimmerman had

racially proled the unarmed black teen. Zimmerman identies himself as Hispanic. Six anonymous female jurors considered nearly three weeks of often wildly conicting testimony over who was the aggressor on the rainy night the 17-year-old was shot while walking through the gated townhouse community where he was staying and where Zimmerman lived. Jurors were sequestered during the trial, and they deliberated more than 15 hours over two days before announcing late Saturday night that they had reached a verdict. The court did not release the racial and ethnic makeup of the jury, but the panel See SAFETY | 8A

PITTSTON TWP. Has the Valley with a Heart turned a cold shoulder to veterans? Thats what a national veterans group is saying after the Pittston Township Board of Supervisors recently declined to change the zoning on the former animal hospital on the Pittston Bypass to allow a veterans facility. The Veterans Fund of the United States, which has its national ofce a stones throw down the Bypass, planned to renovate the former Animal Emergency & Referral Hospital to house 30 veterans, including 10 senior veterans and 20 veterans in need. Those veterans would operate a caf and train at a Veterans

Controversial law focus of partisan debate

HARRISBURG The states capital city is ground zero for voting rights in the North, NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous told a Capitol crowd days before a trial is to start on Pennsylvanias voter identication law. Jealous spoke at a rally in advance of the case that opens today in Commonwealth Court. Dissecting Act 18, the states voter ID law, may take as long as two weeks. The American Civil Liberties Union, the Public Interest Center of Philadelphia, and a Washington law rm will argue before Judge Bernard McGinley, a Democrat, that the law must be overturned.

Counsel and a Philadelphia law rm will defend the law that Gov. Tom Corbett signed in March 2012. The court in October partially granted a preliminary injunction. Poll workers in the November election could ask voters to show ID, but they were not obligated to produce one. Republicans controlling the Legislature pushed the bill, saying it would guard against fraud and maintain the integrity of the electoral process. The Legislature established a solution to a problem that did not exist, Jean Brown, an NAACP vice president, told rallying organizations opposed to the law. The laws opponents still cite a comment House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods, made when he told the Pennsylvania State Republican Committee that the law would let GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney win Pennsylvania. Romney lost Pennsylvania to President Obama. Turzai was speaking to a political group and meant that for the rst time, there would be a level playing

eld, his spokesman Steve Miskin said. Theres rhetoric by a lot of parties, said Nils Frederiksen, the general counsels spokesman. At the end of the day, the law is the law. Jealous, speaking before a crowd of hundreds, used Turzais remark as an example of how politicians try to steal votes. Opponents of the law say people who dont have IDs tend to be Democrats, minorities, the elderly and disabled. Ludicrous, Miskin said. We are trying to prevent people from stealing votes. The plaintiffs argue in their latest court brief that at least tens of thousands of voters will be disenfranchised. Potentially hundreds of thousands lack identication, the ACLU and other challengers claim. Frederiksen said the reality is that Pennsylvanians registered to vote who dont have photo IDs can get a Department of State card without documentation.

Mayhem brought own power to mountain

DAILY NUMBER - 4-3-4 BIG 4 - 6-7-7-5 QUINTO - 7-3-0-6-1 TREASURE HUNT

SCRANTON Even a total power failure couldnt stop the Mayhem at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain on Saturday. Thanks to continuous updates from concert organizers, the Mayhem was contained to the stage as the large crowd stayed peaceful during the hour-long wait for the power to be restored. Unconrmed reports at the site said the outage, which happened around 8:30 p.m. during the second song by co-headliner Five Finger Death Punch, was caused by a vehicle leaving the concert hitting a utility pole. Montage Mountain Road was still partially closed at 1:20 a.m. Sunday as most concert-goers were leaving the facility. The sixth annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, a day-long celebration of heavy music, got started a little past 1 p.m. Saturday as 16 bands played three satellite stages. Two of the three stages were set up side by side in the parking lot, and the next band hit the opposite stage literally seconds after the previous one nished up on the other. Early attendees were treated to the sounds of bands such as Huntress, Butcher Babies, Attika 7, Children of Bodom and Motionless in White, a band started by Pittston native Chris Motionless Cerulli and other Luzerne County residents. MIW played a triumphant 30-minute homecoming set, capped by a Cerulli family photo from the stage and a strong performance of A.M.E.R.I.C.A, a single from 2012 album Infamous. We are Motionless in White, from right here, Cerulli said from the stage. This is all I have to say Scranton: thank you, thank you, thank you. Tucked away on the fourth stage among

the battle-of-the bands contest winners was Scorpion Child, a hard-rock quintet from Texas, which tore through an impressive 30-minute set for a few fans lucky enough to check them out. This bands music had more in common with Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix than the others, and was a breath of fresh air after a few hours of nothing but the other heavy-metal and metalcore bands on the bill. The main-stage action got underway at 6:20 with Amon Amarth, a death-metal band from Sweden that sings (or is it

growls?) of Vikings, Thor and other such things from a stage set up reminiscent of a Viking ship complete with a smoke-spewing serpent at the bow. The burly, long bearded frontman Johan Hegg was a hoot but mostly indecipherable to the uninitiated. Up next was Mastodon, a slightly more melodic band from Atlanta, which scored with a 45-minute set of tunes mostly from most recent album The Hunter. Then came the power-outage interrupted set by Five Finger Death Punch, which stormed the stage with The Way of the

Fist, the title track from the bands 2007 debut. During the second song, the power went out, but the band members continued to joke with fans and passed out tons of guitar picks and bottles of water until they found out what was going on. When power was restored, 5FDP resumed its set, pretty much picking up right where it left off. Highlights included Never Enough, Hard To See and its 2010 cover of Bad Company. They threw the gauntlet down with a hard-charging version of The Bleeding to bring the set to a close. Hitting the stage at 10:40 (about 20 minutes before his scheduled stop time) came headliner Rob Zombie and his usual sensory-overloaded mixture of heavy music, horror movie visuals and over-thetop stage props. Problem was, the set was way too similar to the last time Zombie played Montage Mountain and had a sense of been there, done that throughout his slightly extended performance. Guitarist John 5 electried the crowd with his Star Spangled Banner a la Hendrix, even playing his red-whiteand-blue guitar with his teeth, which led nicely into Zombies version of Were An American Band, one of two songs from Zombies latest album, Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor. Other highlights included a brief foray into Metallicas Enter Sandman and a humorous rip on Rick Springelds Jessies Girl prior to White Zombies (Zombies band prior to his solo career) Thunder Kiss 65, and that bands More Human Than Human, plus solo favorites such as Scum of the Earth and the set-closing Dragula. Zombies set ended just a few ticks before midnight, nally bringing the long day to a spectacular close.

County openings draw job-seekersinterest

Thirteen people have applied for a new Luzerne County government management position overseeing wills and deeds, according to county Human Resources Director Andrew Check. The position is among several posts created to handle duties that had been covered by elected row ofcers before the Jennifer switch to home Learnrule government. The number Andes of applications County received for the notebook other newly advertised positions, according to Check: sheriff, eight; coroner, four; and prothonotary/clerk of courts manager, four. The starting salaries will range from $40,000 to $45,000 for coroner and sheriff and $45,000 to $50,000 for the other two management positions. Check said his ofce will start screening resumes next week to determine which applicants meet minimum qualications. The county Retirement Board met in a closed-door executive session last week to discuss unresolved litigation led against the board by the estate of the late former county controller Steve Flood. The Philadelphia-based Schnader, Harrison, Segal & Lewis sued Flood and his partner/guardian, Heather Paulhamus, in 2010, seeking $205,696 in legal fees for representing Flood in a defamation suit over statements he made on a November 2002 radio program. In turn, Floods estate sued the retirement board, arguing the county is responsible for the legal fees. The board had initially agreed to pay for Floods legal defense in the libel suit but reversed the decision shortly after Flood lost his bid for re-election in 2005. The libel suit was discontinued after Floods death. The employee pension fund has remained at at $202.394 million this year to date, the county retirement board learned last week. The lack of growth stems largely from lagging performance in the xed-income portion of the fund, which makes up about half of the investment portfolio. Ofcials are hesitant to risk investing a larger portion in stocks. Five people were hired in county government in June, according to county Manager Robert Lawtons latest personnel report: Claudia Vitiello, part-time aging senior center manager, $12.36/hour; Desiree Butera, children and youth social services aide, $20,489; Adianne Suder and Renee Wanyo, mental health caseworkers, $32,116; and J. Allen Nesbitt, correctional services division head, $75,000. Two prison correctional ofcers also were reinstated from layoff: Jonathan Lazarchick and Jennifer Malak.

Islamic militants head to Syria

ISLAMABAD Suleman spent years targeting minority Shiite Muslims in his home country of Pakistan as a member of one of the countrys most feared militant groups. Now he is on his way to a new sectarian battleground, Syria, where he plans to join Sunni rebels battling President Bashar Assads regime. It is a ght he believes will boost his reward in heaven. The short and stocky Pakistani, who identied himself using only his rst name for fear of being targeted by authorities, is one of an increasing number of militants who have left Pakistan for Syria in recent months. The ghters have contributed to a growing presence of Islamic extremists and complicated U.S. efforts to help the rebels. Many ghters like Suleman believe they must help Syrias Sunni majority defeat Assads Alawite regime an offshoot of the Shiite sect. Radical Sunnis view Shiites as heretics. The presence of Islamic extremists in Syria looms large over U.S. efforts to help the rebels, especially when it comes to providing weapons that could end up in the hands of Americas enemies. The extremists have also sparked inghting with more secular rebels concerned about the increasing power of the Islamists. Most of the foreign ghters in Syria are from Arab countries, including al-Qaida militants from Iraq on the rebel side and Hezbollah ghters from Lebanon on the regimes side. The ow of militants from Pakistan adds a new element to that mix. Pakistani Interior Ministry spokesman Omar Hamid Khan said provincial authorities throughout Pakistan deny that militants have left the country for Syria. But three Pakistani intelligence ofcials based in the tribal region that borders Afghanistan, as well as militants themselves, say the ghters leaving Pakistan for Syria include members of al-Qaida, the Pakistani Taliban and Sulemans group, Lashkar-eJhangvi. The ghters fall mainly into two categories. One includes foreign combatants from places like Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and likely the Middle East who came to Pakistans tribal region to ght U.S.-led forces in neighboring Afghanistan and are now heading to Syria because they view it as the most pressing battle, said the Pakistani intelligence ofcials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. This group includes members of al-Qaida who trained the Pakistani Taliban in areas such as bomb-making and are

Big Sandy tax hikes a no-show, so far

With all the fears that Superstorm Sandy created, heres one that never materialized: huge tax increases to make up for property destroyed along the coastlines of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Waves of federal aid, some strategic borrowing, lowered property values and surplus accounts helped many shore communities avoid having to raise taxes drastically to compensate for the lost tax revenue. But the sighs of relief are mixed with early jitters of what could happen next year, when the tide of emergency storm aid will have receded and full rebuilding will still elude some neighborhoods. In community after community, municipal taxes are either staying the same this year or going up only very slightly.

now moving on to the battleeld in Syria, said Pakistani Taliban ghters, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of being targeted by the government. Neither the intelligence ofcials nor the Pakistani militants were able to provide the total

number of ghters who have left the country for Syria, or the route they were taking to get to the Middle East. An activist based in northern Syria, Mohammad Kanaan, said there are Pakistanis ghting in his area but not in large numbers.

No application in Russia for Snowden

Russian immigration ofcials said Saturday they have not received an application from Edward Snowden, the U.S. National Security Agency leaker who wants to get asylum in Russia. Snowden came to Moscows Sheremetyevo international airport on June 23 from Hong Kong, apparently intending to board a ight to Cuba. But he did not get on that ight and is believed to have spent the last three weeks marooned in the airports transit zone. On Friday, he met with human rights activists there and said he would seek Russian asylum, at least as a temporary measure before going to Venezuela, Bolivia or Nicaragua, all of which have offered him asylum.

Mandela may be out of hospital soon

Nelson Mandela may be discharged from hospital soon to recuperate at home, said a former president of South Africa. The prediction about Mandela leaving the hospital was made by Thabo Mbeki as he gave a memorial lecture for the African National Congress Saturday, reported the South African radio news service Eyewitness News. Mandela has been hospitalized for more than ve weeks for a recurring lung infection, sparking an outpouring of support in South Africa and internationally. Friends who have visited him say he is on life support in the form of mechanical ventilation. The most recent ofcial update on his health said Mandela was in critical but stable condition. But both Mandelas wife, Graca Machel, and President Jacob Zuma have said recently that Mandela is responding to treatment.

CAIRO In his rst remarks since Mohammed Morsis ouster, Egypts military chief said on Sunday the armed forces acted according to the will of the people because the former Islamist government had stumbled. Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi made his comments on the eve of another round of mass protests by Morsis Islamist supporters who have accused the military of staging a coup and demanded the reinstatement of Egypts rst democratically elected president. Also Sunday, Egypts chief prosecutor froze the assets of Mohammed Badie, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, the group from which Morsi hails, and at least 13 other senior members of the Islamist group. The U.S. State Departments No. 2 diplomat, William Burns, arrived in Cairo on Sunday, the rst visit by a high-level American ofcial since Morsis ouster. Burns was scheduled to meet with Egypts interim government ofcials as

well as civil society and business leaders during his two-day visit. The State Department says Burns would underscore in his meetings U.S. support for the Egyptian people and a transition leading to an inclusive, democratically elected civilian government. The July 3 overthrow of Morsi has come under criticism from many in the international community because of concerns about its effect on Egypts efforts to become a democracy following the February 2011 toppling of autocrat Hosni Mubaraks regime in a popular uprising. El-Sissi said the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces respected the June 2012 elections that propelled Morsi to power with a narrow victory and tried to stay out of politics. But he said the military could no longer stand on the sidelines as millions of Egyptians took to the streets to call for the Islamist leader to step down because of allegations he was abusing his power. El-Sissi said he reached out to Morsi through two envoys, including then Prime Minister Hesham Kandil, on

more than one occasion urging him to hold a referendum on whether voters still supported his presidency, but the suggestion was rejected out of hand. No one is a guardian of the public, and no one can dictate or force a path or thought that they dont accept,elSissi said in remarks to ofcers, which were reported by state-run media. The armed forces sincerely accepted the choice of the people, but then political decision-making began stumbling and the armed forces took the view that any correction or adjustment must come from only one source and that is the legitimacy of the people. The decision led to mass demonstrations by his supporters and bloody clashes with security forces and rival protesters. Morsis supporters have been holding a sit-in to demand his reinstatement as well as calling for the ousted president to be released from detention. He has been held by the army in an undisclosed location since his removal from ofce. The Muslim Brotherhood and allies called for more mass rallies nationwide on Monday.

SAN FRANCISCO When the courts have to gure compensation for people aboard Asiana Airlines Flight 214, the potential payouts will probably be vastly different for Americans and passengers from other countries, even if they were seated side by side as the jetliner crash-landed. An international treaty governs compensation to passengers harmed by international air travel from damaged luggage to crippling injuries and death. The pact is likely to close U.S. courts to many foreigners and force them to pursue their claims in Asia and elsewhere, where lawsuits are rarer, harder to win and offer smaller payouts. Some passengers have already contacted lawyers. If you are a U.S. citizen, there will be no problem getting into U.S. courts. The other people are going to have a ght on their hands, said Northern California attorney Frank Pitre, who represents two Americans who were aboard the plane. Federal law bars lawyers from soliciting victims of air disasters for the rst 45 days after the crash. Pitre said his clients called him. Congress enacted that law in 1996 amid public anger over lawyers who solicited clients in the days immediately following the ValuJet Flight 592 crash in the Florida Everglades and the crash of TWA Flight 800 off the New York coast. National Transportation Safety Board attorney Benjamin Allen reminded attorneys of the rules in a mass email sent Thursday. We are closely monitoring the activities of attorneys following this accident, and will immediately notify state bar ethics ofcials and other appropriate authorities if impermissible activity is suspected, the message said. The ight that broke apart recently at the San Francisco airport was carrying 141 Chinese, 77 South Koreans, 64 Americans, three Canadians, three Indians, one Japanese, one Vietnamese and one person from France when it approached the runway too low and too slow.

A Florida motorcycle racer trying to top 300 mph has lost control and crashed on a runway at an annual speed trial race in northern Maine. WCSH-TV reports that Bill Warner of Wimauma, Fla., crashed Sunday at the Maine Event, which is sanctioned by the Loring Timing Association. The race is held at the former Loring Air Force Base. The TV station reports that Warner was traveling 260 mph when he lost control. It says he was conscious and talking as he was taken from the scene. Cary Medical Center had no immediate word on his condition. Warner rides a modied turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa. He previously hit 311 mph on the same course in 2011, using 1.5 miles of pavement to do so.

Party leaders spar over Senate rule changes

Associated Press

Philip Elliot

WASHINGTON Proposed changes to Senate rules would either ease the way for President Barack Obama to assemble his second-term team or permanently threaten the bodys deliberative style, the chambers top Democratic and Republican lawmaker said Sunday. Democratic Leader Harry Reid and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell once again strongly disagreed during separate television segments on the eve of a rare closed-door summit that could

reduce the Senates reputation as deliberative to the point of inaction. Reid and McConnell along with their rank-andle members have been trading barbs over just what the proposed changes would be, both for Obamas current slate of nominees who are awaiting conrmation and for future senators who prize their ability to delay action. Democrats, who are the majority in the Senate, are pushing to erode the rights of minority Republicans to block conrmation of Obamas picks for posts on a labor rights board and a consumer protection bureau. Republicans previ-

ously stalled conrmation votes for Obamas pick for labor secretary and chiefs of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Export-Import Bank, but last week GOP lawmakers stepped aside and said they would allow those nominees to move forward. Reid said the changes were not about the appointment of judges or passing legislation. This is allowing the people of America to have a president who can have his team, he said. McConnell called Democrats proposed changes contrary to Senate tradition, which typically requires 60 votes to

end debate and move forward on nominations or legislation. I hope that well come to our senses and not change the core of the Senate. Weve never changed the rules of the Senate by breaking the rules of the Senate, McConnell said. All 100 senators but not reporters or the public have been invited to a meeting Monday evening to seek a compromise that a handful of lawmakers are now exploring. We need to start talking to each other instead of at each other, McConnell said.

Philly issues heat warning for today,Tuesday

PHILADELPHIA Authorities in Philadelphia have issued an excessive heat warning for today and Tuesday due to an approaching heat wave expected to last most of or all of the week. The National Weather Service says temperatures in the mid-90s and dew points around 70 will send heat index values up to about 100 degrees through Wednesday. Forecasters expect little relief at night with lows only in the 70s and the heat wave is expected to continue through Friday and possibly Saturday. The city says summer heat programs have been activated, including home visits by eld teams and operation of the Philadelphia Corporation for Agings Heatline. Ofcials plan to step up daytime outreach for the homeless and are encouraging people to check up on older friends, relatives and neighbors. Most at risk, ofcials said, are older people, those with preexisting or chronic medical conditions, pregnant women, small children and those engaged in strenuous activity or working in hot environments. People without air conditioning are urged to seek relief for at least part of the day in shopping malls, movie theaters, senior centers and other air conditioned public spaces. The city health department also suggests avoiding activities in the hot sun, drinking plenty of uids, wearing lightweight clothing and some kind of covering on the head, and opening windows if using fans.

Washingtons newest power couple: Max and Dave

Stephen Ohlemacher
Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. Welcome to the Max and Dave Show, a campaignstyle swing around the country featuring two of the most powerful members of Congress rallying support for their effort to overhaul the nations tax laws and, just maybe, change the way Washington works. Sen. Max Baucus, a Democrat from Montana, and Rep. Dave Camp, a Republican from Michigan, are Washingtons newest power couple and an odd one during these politically deadlocked days in Washington. They are lawmakers of different states, different parties and theyre a decade in age apart. Yet, Camp and Baucus are developing a close friendship as they try to rally other lawmakers to their cause. Their secret: Burgers, beer and a culture of working toward public policy answers that Americans seem to want in Washington even when theres no solution in sight. Daves my buddy, Baucus told a gathering of workers at 3M, the Minnesota-based maker of everything from Scotch tape to electronic touch screens. My comrade. These days, you dont often hear Democrats talk that way about Republicans, or see campaign-style events

for a topic as dry as tax reform. But the pair have a common goal for an overhaul they believe is long overdue. And tax policy, to them, is exciting for all that is wrong and could be improved about it. So beginning last week in Minnesota, Baucus and Camp began barnstorming the country, employing a similar burgers-and-beer strategy thats worked for them with colleagues in Washington. You have to have some basis to deal with each other to work together, Camp said in an interview. What were trying to do is create that foundation so that we are going to be able to work together on a very important bill that could have profound benecial effects for the country. At issue is a tax system that many inside and outside of Congress say is too complicated for individuals and too onerous for businesses. The broad goal of tax reform is to simplify the code by eliminating or reducing tax breaks and using the additional revenue to lower tax rates for everyone. Lawmakers in both political parties are convinced that simpler, easier-tounderstand tax laws would spur economic activity. One problem is that many of the biggest tax breaks, including those for owning a home or contributing to retirement plans, are very popular. And there are signi-

cant differences among Democrats and Republicans over how much tax revenue the government should raise and who should pay it. Democrats generally want reform to generate more revenue; most Republicans in Congress are opposed to raising taxes. Camp and Baucus also are working in a toxic partisan environment in Washington that makes it difcult for Congress to pass routine legislation, let alone a monumental package like tax reform. I dont see how we get anywhere, candidly, said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who is up for re-election in Kentucky next year. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wasnt much more optimistic. Were a long way from getting something on paper as to what were going to go forward on, Reid said. Still, Baucus and Camp are pressing forward. Camp, 60, grew up in Midland, Mich., and was rst elected to the House in 1990. A close ally of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Camp chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, which has authority over tax laws. Its Senate counterpart is the Finance Committee, chaired by the 71-year-old Baucus. For him, its legacy time. Baucus grew up on a ranch near Helena, Mont.,

was elected to the Senate in 1978 and has become an independent voice generally more conservative than many of his Democratic colleagues. Hes announced plans to retire next year, and tax reform would be his swan song. Face time is key to the effort in Washington and beyond. The Montana senator says he is on track to meet individually with every member of the Senate by the end of the month. Camp is trying to forge bipartisan relationships on the Ways and Means Committee by pairing small groups of Republicans and Democrats to develop options for addressing different parts of the tax law. Every few weeks, Baucus and Camp invite about a dozen lawmakers to lunch at a Capitol Hill pub, always a mix of Democrats and Republicans, senators and House members. Camp and Baucus have dubbed their lunches burgers and beer, and the location a pub called Kellys Irish Times has historic signicance. Former Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., is credited with helping to rescue the 1986 tax reform package with a plan he devised over two pitchers of beer at the pub. At the time, Packwood was chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, a position now held by Baucus.

Defense workers are being furloughed, student loan interest rates have doubled and these Republicans insist on a relentless pursuit of more restrictions on womens freedoms, said Rep.

Associated Press

ATLANTA With no immediate hope of overturning the U.S. Supreme Courts decision legalizing abortion, Republicans around the country are increasingly pushing legislation to restrict the procedure, and Democrats say theyll make the GOP pay in coming elections. From statehouses to Congress, Republicans have advanced a range of ideas: banning nearly all abortions beyond the 20th week after conception; making abortion clinics follow regulations for surgical care; mandating that clinic physicians have admitting privileges at local hospitals; requiring women to get ultrasounds before terminating a pregnancy. The issue, which is guring prominently in early 2016 White House race maneuvering, energizes social conservatives who inuence many Republican primaries and drive GOP success in nonpresidential years when the electorate is older, whiter and more conservative. And some Republicans say more moderate voters will support their agenda in the wake of the murder conviction against Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortion doctor who jurors determined killed babies whod survived the procedure. But Democrats and abortion-rights advocates say Republicans already have overreached the noticeable uptick in restrictions began with GOP gains in 2010 elections, before Gosnells prosecution began and that moderate voters

would sign an updated abortion regulation bill if it reaches his desk, saying a legislator had addressed concerns about restricting a womans access.

On how Wimbledon tennis champion Andy Murray reacted to his victory: As Andy Murray showed at Wimbledon on Sunday, there is another way of winning graciously. Winning through skill, hard work, courage and determination ought to make you feel pretty good about yourself. But modesty demands a response that recognizes that your victory is another persons defeat. True modesty recognizes equal worth. Demonstrating such modesty has slid into the territory of spurious self-abnegation, the surely-not-me weeping acceptance speech that is

commonplace at awards ceremonies. As Andy Murray showed at Wimbledon on Sunday, there is another way of doing it. No one could mistake the emotion he felt as he dropped to his knees on Centre Court, nor that he knew hed done something quite brilliant. And if eyebrows were raised among his more mawkish fans by the perfunctory kiss for his girlfriend no warmer than for the rest of the team and for nearly writing his mother out of the script altogether, it was a welcome contrast to those tearful tributes to the people whod made it all possible.

Egypts precarious politics

The speed of Mohammed Morsis fall, just a year after his dramatic rise to power, underlines the unpredictability of Egyptian politics. For Israel there are both dangers and opportunities in the wake of Morsis ouster. The renewed dominance of the military could be a positive development for Israel. It is, after all, the military that monopolizes force and is a stabilizing factor. It was the Egyptian military, for instance, that was instrumental in bringing about the cease-re between Israel and Hamas last November. It is the military that seems most likely to protect the Camp David peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. And it is the military that has a vested interest and the capabilities to maintain control in the near lawless Sinai Peninsula. The humbling of the Muslim Brotherhoods seemingly inexorable expansion not just in Egypt but also in Tunisia and potentially in Syria and perhaps even in Jordan is another positive development, at least in the short term. The U.S. could make its continued economic support conditional upon concrete headway toward building a more democratic, pluralistic government that does more to defend embattled minorities such as the Coptic Christian community and the smaller Bahai and Shiite populations. More thought should be given to saving Egypts catatonic economy. And aid in the form of both funding and political know-how should be provided to help harness the energies expended on the streets of Cairo and channel them into political parties and institutions. Unrest in Egypt has generated much unpredictability and the potential for instability and even disaster. Morsis fall, however, also presents new opportunities and can lead to positive developments in the Middle Easts most populous country, and in the region in general. The outcome depends, at least in part, on the U.S.s response.

OTHER OpiniOn: UnREST in EGYpT

Rural job retention, growth depend on Net access

A typical morning routine for many urban Americans includes a cup of coffee, a glance in the mirror, and a browse of the web for news, weather, correspondence, and perhaps a quick video. And yet, few may realize that millions of rural dwellers in the U.S., a country that prides itself on its development, dont have Internet access at all. While nearly 100 percent of urbanites have Internet in some form or another, over one fth Joe of people in rural areas Sestak can barely access the Contributing Web. Considering that Columnist Pennsylvania has the thirdhighest rural population in the country at just over 2.7 million, this issue shouldnt be condemned to the back burner. And although many Pennsylvanians can access speeds of 10 mbps (mega-bytes per second), Pennsylvania doesnt even rank on lists for higher speeds. For those not versed in broadband jargon, 4 mbps is what the FCC considers the bare minimum for basic Web browsing. True high-speed Internet, still not available beyond major urban areas, ranges between 50 to 100 mbps. In a recent amendment to the Agricultural Reform, Foods and Jobs Act of 2013, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) proposed a pilot program for gigabit Internet projects in rural areas. This project could be immensely benecial to the rural population, providing information to the farmers who maintain the food resources on which our country thrives. Farmers could easily access weather and climate projections, new techniques for caring for their plants and animals, and tools for banking, health care and other necessary small business applications. Lizzie Bailey, Pennsylvania State Grange communications and membership director, met with representatives from Sen. Pat Toomeys ofce to discuss several issues central to rural Pennsylvanians, as reported in a June 2013 ShipNewsNow.com article. Bailey participated in the Granges Legislative Fly-In, where she focused on the need for the expansion of rural broadband. Whether Im Skyping with farmers in Australia to learn best practices or emailing my local network of growers in my community, the Internet is an important communication tool. Broadband opens up opportunities for education, work and endless networking for people in rural areas, Bailey said. Unfortunately, Sen. Toomey voted against Internet expansion. As Toomey stated in a 2013 article printed by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette regarding his policies for his rural constituents, Pennsylvania is the biggest mushroom grower in the country and if someone proposed we start handing out checks to mushroom growers, you could argue that would be great for Pennsylvania, but it would be terrible for the economy, so Id have to oppose it. However, nobody is suggesting a government handout here. As the president noted in his 2012 State of the Union address, This isnt about faster Internet or fewer dropped calls. Its about connecting every part of America to the digital age. Its about a rural community in Iowa or Alabama where farmers and small business owners will be able to sell their products all over the world. What Toomeys awed argument doesnt consider is that any growth in Pennsylvanias economy can only contribute to the greater U.S. economy. And

OTHER OpiniOn: AiRLinE SAFETY

Place safety above all

had no fatal air crashes for 12 years between 1999 and 2011. The long streak was broken when an Asiana freighter crashed in waters off the coast of Jejudo Island two years ago. In 2008, the International Civil Aviation Organization ranked Koreas aviation safety standards, including its pilot training and maintenance, as the highest among its 191 member countries. This outstanding track record might have fostered a dangerous sense of complacency among airline companies and regulators. For ights to dangerous airports, they need to arrange preight sessions for the ight and cabin crew to alert them to the obstacles and ensure that they follow safe landing and takeoff procedures. Carriers should take it to heart that safety comes before anything else. It only takes one accident to wipe out years of hard effort to establish a reputation as a safe carrier.
The Korea Herald

The crash of Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 jet at San Francisco International Airport is a wake-up call for the Korean aviation industry, which enjoys a good global reputation for safety. In the mid-1990s, Koreas two ag carriers Asiana and its bigger rival Korean Air suffered a string of fatal incidents, which led to a downgrading of the nations aviation safety rating in 1999. The humiliation prompted the Seoul government to undertake a comprehensive reform of its aviation regulatory system. It revised aviation laws, increased the number of government inspectors and enlisted the assistance of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to meet international safety standards. The two airlines also made painstaking efforts to upgrade their safety culture. For instance, Korean Air invited two U.S. experts to help improve its safety standards. Thanks to these efforts, Korea

this amendment Toomey rejected would impact the rural population of the entire country, which the 2010 Census puts around 60 million. In fact, agriculture remains an important backbone of the U.S economy, with a net income of $114 billion in 2012 up from $85 billion in 2008. According to the USDA, American agriculture is tied to 1 in 12 American jobs and provides us with 80 percent of the food we consume. In addition, the National Agricultural Statistics Service reports 2.1 million farms in America, with 62,100 in Pennsylvania alone, which should strike a chord with our senator. If one is supportive of small business as much as some claim, why then would Toomey oppose an amendment that could only benet small businesses job growth? The amendment also directed that priority will be given to communities experiencing outmigration. Considering that a 2011 U.S. Computer and Internet use study showed that 82 percent of Americans between 18 and 44 years old use the Internet at home, one could conclude that the outmigration directly corresponds with the ages of those leaving. If we want to retain a fresh young crop of agricultural entrepreneurs and rural dwellers with access to information that can only improve economic (and social) livelihoods, we had best support getting access to advancing technology for job creation and retention in our rural communities and not oppose it. With this bill, the rural nuclear family takes a slide as teenagers set off in search of places to use the internet and nd jobs. Sen. Toomey, think of the families and job growth. Joe Sestak is a former Navy admiral and U.S. congressman (PA-07), and was a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania in 2010.

If Paula Deen gets a timeout, then so should the gangstas

Paula Deen has cooked up a ne mess these days. Then again, as President Harry S. Truman stated so eloquently, If you cant take the heat, get out of the kitchen. The Food Network already has thrown Deen out of their kitchen, and Smitheld Foods announced it was dropping her as a spokeswoman. Numerous corporations from Wal-Mart to Sears to J.C. Penney and Walgreen cut ties with her, as well as Caesars buffet restaurants. And dont worry, there will be other repercussions. All of this because Deen, a 66-year-old child of the segregated South, admitted she used the N-word while testifying under oath during a deposition as part of a lawsuit. All of this again brings us to Frank Sinatra. And again we focus on Sinatras black valet, George S. Jacobs. Jacobs, who served as Sinatras valet from 1953 to 1968, wrote a book, with author William Stadiem, titled, Mr. S: My Life with Frank Sinatra, released in 2004. The book included several instances of Sinatras views on race. Flip to the bottom of Page 55. The passage from Jacobs reads: Being black was never discussed, nor did it seem to be considered. He (Sinatra) never used the N word, except to complain that someone like (movie producer) Sam Spiegel was treating him like a nigger If that paragraph circulated today with Mr. S alive, the iconic singer would be publicly excoriated to no end. Gregory A. Tyson Sr., a black pastor at First Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church from Deens home base in Savannah, Ga., quickly rushed to her defense. Tyson told television station WTOC: People are going to jump on it and believe what they want to believe and add what they want to add. But one thing I can sit here today and look you in the face and tell you is that woman cant be a racist. She cant have a heart against black people with all that she had done, and all she continues to do. Though her ardent fans and inside supporters, such as Pastor Tyson, have expressed outrage that Deen has been publicly ogged, others, we notice, always seem to catch a pass. The pastor offered an insightful point when he responded to a question regarding his thoughts about Deens admission of using the N-word: Who gets that aforementioned pass? The gangsta rappers. They are the albatross that chokes the necks of many logically thinking black folk of goodwill. They are the burden of free-thinking black folk. Still, few in the black community would dare touch them, even though they drop the N-word in their lyrics like rain dropping out of a cool, gray sky. How can a black person logically, morally and ethically condemn Paula Deen for using the N-word without doing the same to the gangstas. In good conscience, no less. How can that be on your conscience, no less? So, dont lambaste Paula Deen, then rush to the music stores or download Internet songs en masse to line the pockets of the gangstas. In the 1960s during the civil rights movement, gangsta rap lyrics infested with the N-word would have been repudiated. Many black folk in this country are reluctant to speak out against N-word using gangsta rappers because of this warped logic: At least young black dudes are making much money for doing something legal. Some will say, well at least he isnt dead or imprisoned for 50 years, so let him do the gangsta-rap thing. Give them a hall pass, some say. Yes, thats how low the bar is these days. Many ignorant, stupid and/or impressionable youth take their cues from the gangstas. Bingo thats when the situation becomes problematic. If its good enough for the gangstas, then it should be good enough for Paula Deen.

OTHER OpiniOn: pHOnY WARninG

Zombie apocalypse indeed

Even if the television viewers of Great Falls, Mont., were not sufciently shocked by the revelations of The Steve Wilkos Show one afternoon last winter (topic: Teen Cheaters Take Lie Detectors), the emergency alert that interrupted the program may well have roused them from their recliners. Following the iconic tones of the Emergency Alert System, a voice warned: Civil authorities in your area have reported that the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living . Do not attempt to approach or apprehend these bodies, as they are extremely dangerous. Viewers in four other states heard similarly alarming warnings of impending doom at the hands (and presumably gnashing teeth) of the undead. It should come as a relief to anyone not interested in becoming an impromptu brain donor that the warnings were a hoax. But the ease with which the alert system was hacked is less reassuring. The system, the successor to the Emergency Broadcast System was designed to enable the president of the United States to communicate with the American people within 10 minutes during a national emergency. Though that sounds about as serious as an apocalypse, the system hasnt always been treated accordingly. Mike Davis, of the computer security rm IOActive, reported that some system devices were compromised when a digital key allowing remote access to them was mistakenly published. Other vulnerabilities include easily guessed default passwords. The equipments makers say theyre addressing the issues.

Bill OBoyle

WILKES-BARRE They are called the 12 forever stamps and they comprise the U.S. Postal Services most recent issuance, Made in America: Building a Nation, postage stamps that honor the courageous workers who helped build our country. The sheet features 12 stamps in three rows of four. Eleven of the 12 stamp images were taken by photographer Lewis Hine, a chronicler of early 20th-century industry. The stamps will be issued Aug. 8. The three rows are: Top row: an airplane maker, a derrick man on the Empire State Building, a millinery apprentice and a man on a hoisting ball on the Empire State Building. Middle row: a Linotyper in a publishing house, a welder on the Empire State Building, a coal miner and riveters on the Empire State Building.

Ray Daiutolo, U.S. Postal Service spokesman, said there are ve different sheets available. Each one contains the same stamps, but is anchored by a different photograph. The Hine images include two Empire State Building iron workers and a General Electric worker measuring the bearings in a casting. The fourth photograph is the same image of the coal miner that appears in the stamp pane. The nal photograph, taken by Margaret Bourke-White, depicts a female welder. In addition to the photos chosen, the naming of the sheet demonstrates that in doing these often unseen jobs, these American workers made crucial historical contributions, transforming the U.S. into an industrial giant, Daiutolo said.

Working on other fronts

State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, and Wayne Namey also have been leading the ght for the stamp. They and a legion of others not just in Pennsylvania, but also in the other 25 states where coal mining operated, have fought the good ght to get the stamp approved. Weve always tried to gure out why they wouldnt issue a coal miners stamp, Pashinski said. There are stamps for every bug, ower, tree, leaf, machine, but no coal miner. This is a victory for we. So many people have pushed for this and worked so hard. Namey would set up a tent with a table at various events and sites to get people to sign petitions. He worked tirelessly, as did many others, to send a message to the Postal Service that a coal miners stamp is long overdue. Nameys friend, the late Joe Pavlick of Ashley, was a retired steel worker and he painted a portrait of the Huber Breaker. Namey loves the picture and both of his grandfathers worked in the coal mines of Plymouth; one died in a mining accident and the other died of black lung disease. For so long, I was told that coal miners were not heroes, Namey said, that they only put heroes on stamps. My grandfathers and all coal miners were heroes to me. Pashinski said more than 104,000 miners were killed in the coal mines and hundreds of thousands of others died of black lung. U.S. Postal Service spokesman Ray Daiutolo said thousands of letters are received each year with stamp requests. That included ones from coal miner and steelworker organizations and other related industries, he said. The Made in America: Building a Nation stamp sheet is an ideal way to honor a variety of industries and represent the men and women who helped build our country through their hard work.

the growth of the modern U.S. Daiutolo said the Postal Services Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee is tasked with evaluating the merits of all stamp proposals. Established in 1957, the committee provides the Postal Service with a

breadth of judgment and depth of experience in various areas that inuence subject matter, character and beauty of postage stamps. He said the committees primary goal is to select subjects of broad national interest for recommenda-

tion to the Postmaster General that are interesting and educational. In addition to the Postal Services extensive line of mail use stamps, approximately 20 new subjects for commemorative stamps are recommended each year.

Safety
From page 1A appeared to reporters covering selection to be made up of ve white women and a sixth who may be Hispanic. In August 2012, defense attorney Mark OMara said Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie, had been living like hermits and werent working because they feared for their safety. After Saturdays verdict, police, ofcials and civil rights leaders urged peace and told protesters not to resort to violence. While defense attorneys said they were thrilled with the outcome, OMara suggested Zimmermans safety would be an ongoing concern. There still is a fringe element that wants revenge, OMara said. They wont listen to a verdict of not guilty. Those watching reacted strongly when the verdict was announced. Martins mother and father were not in the courtroom when it was read; supporters of his family who had gathered outside yelled No! No! upon learning of the verdict. Andrew Perkins, 55, a black resident of Sanford, angrily asked outside the courthouse: How the hell did they nd him not guilty? He killed somebody and got away with murder, Perkins shouted, so angry he shook, looking toward the courthouse. Trayvon Martins brother, Jahvaris Fulton, said on Twitter: Et tu America? a reference to the Latin phrase Et tu, Brute? known as an expression of betrayal. In a Sunday afternoon statement, President Barack Obama called Martins death a tragedy for America but asked that Americans respect calls for calm reection. I know this case has elicited strong passions, he said. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. The statement reected the widespread national attention of the case. The White House rarely issues formal responses to trials that do not directly involve the president or federal government. Obama said the verdict should prompt a discussion on gun violence, but its unlikely he will use the trial as a way to restart his legislative push for stricter gun control laws. The measures he sought after the December school massacre in Newtown, Conn., failed to pass the Senate. NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous started a petition calling for the Justice Department to open a civil rights case against Zimmerman. The most fundamental of civil rights the right to life was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin, Jealous wrote in the petition, posted on the website MoveOn.org and addressed to Attorney General Eric Holder. Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump acknowledged the disappointment of Trayvon Martins supporters, ranking the teen alongside civil rights heroes Medgar Evers and Emmett Till in the history of the ght for equal justice. However, Crump said, for Trayvon to rest in peace, we must all be peaceful.

Pashinski said the issuance of the stamp honoring coal miners was especially gratifying to him his father worked in the mines in Nanticoke. We lived in a half of a double block building on West Noble Street, he recalled. I could hear the whistle blow at quitting time in the mines. I would run down and meet my dad and carry his lunch pail and walk home with him. Pashinski said his father would be covered in black coal dust, too dirty to walk into the house. We would go in through the cellar, he said. My dad would take off those dirty clothes and wash up and change into clean clothes for supper. Thats who we all were in small towns in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Thats how this area was built. Vengien remembered the long hours of getting petitions signed, writing letters and making telephone calls. She said her husbands father lost an eye working in the mines. We went everywhere to get petitions signed, she said. Coal miners made this the greatest nation on earth. Its time to give them a long overdue honor. Pashinski said the 12-stamp issuance honors millions of hard working Americans who made the U.S. strong. This has been a collective effort, he said. Everybody in every state who fought to get this should feel good.

Bonita said that land, in addition to much of the land along the Bypass and state Route 315, is zoned B2, which does not allow long-term housing.

Penn State and Central Florida made it ofcial Sunday, announcing that they will open the 2014 football season in Ireland. The Croke Park Classic will be played Aug. 30 at Dublins historic Croke Park, home of Irelands Gaelic Athletic Association. The game will kick off at 1:30 p.m. (8:30 a.m. EST) on ESPN2. The game was announced Sunday in Dublin during halftime of a Gaelic football game. Penn State athletic director Dave Joyner attended the game along with Central Florida head coach George OLeary. To accommodate the game, Penn State has shifted its previously scheduled seasonopener with Temple to Nov. 15. The Lions will have two bye weeks in October during the 2014 Big Ten season. Penn State coach Bill OBrien has lobbied for a destination game since the NCAA levied sanctions against the program last July. Though Penn State is ineligible to play in a bowl game until the 2016 season, it can take advantage of an NCAA bylaw allowing teams to play an out-of-country game once every four years. The opportunity to play in Ireland began when Penn State and Virginia agreed to suspend the second game of their two-year series scheduled for this September (Virginia will host Oregon instead). The Lions then scheduled Central Florida, in part because of the ties between the coaches. OBrien worked for OLeary at Georgia Tech and was set to become OLearys offensive coordinator at Notre Dame in 2001. See PSU | 5B

John Burke wins Giants Despair in 1st attempt at Hill Climb

A birthdaywith a bang

Paul Sokoloski

LAUREL RUN The only guy under 40 turned 55 this weekend. And in the process, he also turned a few frightening corners at hair-raising speeds. That was all part of an exciting party for New Jersey native John Burke, who celebrated his 55th birthday bash by winning the Giants Despair Hill Climb in his rst-ever attempt at such an event. Im not used to driving this car this way, said Burke, a regular on the Jersey areas road racing circuit whose time of 39.672 in his open-wheel 1997 Reynard Champ Car was little more than a second off the course record. Theres a curve in the road, little hills. Its fun. After celebrating his 55th birthday Saturday, Burke really had a blast Sunday nishing as the only competitor to crack the 40-second mark and nearly catching Darryl Dankos course

record of 38.36. Couple more runs, we might have, Burke said. Every time out, I think I went faster. The need for speed was a little too much for some. On a 90-degree afternoon that threatened tire grip on the steaming pavement of the milelong windy and hilly course, a few drivers sh-tailed trying to conquer The Hill. No injuries were reported after the minor wrecks, but one driver suffered severe tire damage that forced

his racer onto the back of a hauler after it skidded off the roadway trying to negotiate a tough turn. From what the tow driver told me, said race organizer and co-director Jack Danko Sr., Darryls father, the car hit the bank and was sitting straight up in the air in an almost vertical position, almost like the car wanted to keep going and climb up the bank.

Freak occurrence: Lincecum throws no-hitter

World Series champion Giants tried for a four-game sweep. Lincecum looks different now that hes cut his long hair, and he doesnt throw quite as hard as he used to. One thing hasnt changed, though. Lincecum has never iced his arm after starts, including his 148-pitch performance. It turns out there was no ice of any kind Saturday night. Not even in the drinks that I didnt have last night, he said with a laugh. I said to him, One time, can you ice it? manager Bruce Bochy recalled. Lincecum, a two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, said he had a low-key celebration. He spoke by phone with his father and spent time with his girlfriend and his two dogs. He said he didnt get to sleep until around 3:30 a.m. I woke up today, so Im good, he said. Lincecum said his family and friends get more excited than I do just because its hard for me to kind of realize and take in whats going on. It kind of goes back to what my dad tells me: Dont get too excited about the good stuff and dont get too down about the bad stuff, he added. Im trying to hover in the middle, and it could be the plague of me right now. Im not really nding a way to enjoy this, I guess. But being able to share it with my family and friends was the best part. There was still a buzz in the Giants clubhouse, where 12 hours earlier Lincecum was doused with champagne.

SAN DIEGO Tim Lincecum walked into the San Francisco Giants clubhouse late Sunday morning and, yes, his right arm was still attached to his body. That was no small matter, considering that Lincecum threw 148 pitches in his rst career no-hitter Saturday night. The Freak, indeed. While he was still trying to put his no-hitter into perspective, Lincecum said his arm was OK after his incredible effort in the San Francisco Giants 9-0 victory against the last-place San Diego Padres. I havent played catch yet but right now I feel good, he said, sitting in the dugout an hour before the defending

Its exciting, said right elder Hunter Pence, whose sensational diving catch of Alexi Amaristas sinking liner in the eighth inning preserved the no-no. Pitching coach Dave Righetti who threw a no-hitter for the New York Yankees on July 4, 1983, a year before Lincecum was born said the Freaks pitch count became an issue in the sixth inning. The only way he was staying in was if he didnt give up a hit, Righetti said. See LINCECUM | 5B

San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum, center, threw his first career nohitter and the second in the majors in 11 days, a gem saved by a spectacular diving catch by right fielder Hunter Pence in the San Francisco Giants 9-0 win against the last-place San Diego Padres late Saturday night.

Pittston
From page 1B and advancing to regionals for the second straight year. Tunkhannock, also a regional participant last year, will play Nanticoke tonight at 5:30 at Mountain Post 781 in an elimination game. Nanticoke dispatched Hazleton on Sunday afternoon, 6-2. Todays winner plays, and will have to beat, Pittston twice to move on to the regional tournament, which begins Saturday and will be played at Hanover Area High School and Spartan Stadium. While the left-handed Maloney pitched brilliantly, retiring the last eight batters he faced, the game-winning hit came off the bat of third baseman Jake Granteed (2 for 4), who laced an RBI-single to left scoring Jordan Zezza (3 for 4, 2 runs) with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. I was just looking to get the last two runs in so we can move on to the championship, said Granteed, who saw six pitches in the at-bat versus Alex Zaner before ending the game. Another big addition for Greater Pittston came before the season when Joey Gavenonis, who starred for Swoyersvilles junior program last season, transferred to Wyoming Area and joined GP. Hes been the cleanup hitter for the club most of the season. He got the scoring started Sunday by blasting a two-run home run to left eld in the bottom of the rst to put his team ahead 2-0. In my opinion, hes the league MVP this year, Ranieli said. He had 30 hits, four home runs, 20-some RBIHes our rock in the four-hole now. The whole team is balanced, but hes our power guy. Tunkhannock scored a run on a wild pitch in the top of the third to trim the decit in half then tied it at 2-2 in the fth when a run came in on a elders choice. But that elders choice was the last baserunner Tunkhannock got against Maloney. Jordan Faux led Tunkhannocks offense, going 2 for 2, while Alex Zaner threw 3 1-3 scoreless innings before allowing the game-ending run to score. Nanticoke stayed alive getting a complete-game effort from starter Nick Deno, who gave up just ve hits and fanned six. Perhaps the biggest contribution for the winners came with clutch hits. Five of the teams six runs scored with two outs. Christian Pack

RailRiders fail to sweep, fall to Bisons

The Times Leader Staff BUFFALO After winning both games of a doubleheader Saturday, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre failed to complete a series sweep over the Buffalo Bisons on Sunday at Coca-Cola Field. A day ago, the RailRiders tallied seven runs in two games and allowed just one run. On Sunday, the roles were reversed as the Bisons defeated Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 7-1. In the rst two innings, Buffalo scored on an RBI-single and a wild pitch to take a 2-0 lead. Aided by a elding error from Dan Johnson, the Bisons broke the game open in the bottom of the fth inning, plating four runs to extend the Buffalo lead to 6-0. Sean Ochinko tacked on another run with a solo shot in the bottom of the sixth to give Buffalo a 7-0 advantage. The RailRiders got on the board in the top of the seventh when J.R. Murphy doubled to left eld to cut the decit to 7-1. Ricky Romero earned the victory on the mound allowing four hits and one earned run while striking out four in eight innings of work. Brett Marshall pitched six innings for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, allowing four hits and four earned runs in the loss. The RailRiders return to action Thursday at 7:05 p.m., after the All-Star break, when they face off against Louisville at home.

Verlander sharp as Tigers triumph

in 2007. Sabathia gave up a season-high eight runs three earned and matched his low of four innings this year. The Yankees (51-44) made two errors that led to ve unearned runs. They also hit into four double plays.
Indians 6, Royals 4

DETROIT Justin Verlander held Texas hitless until the seventh inning, and the Detroit Tigers backed their ace with three home runs in a 5-0 victory over the Rangers on Sunday. Mitch Morelands two-out double to right-center broke up Verlanders bid for his third career no-hitter. Verlander (10-6) left the game after the seventh with a tight right quad muscle, having allowed just one hit and three walks. He struck out three. Torii Hunter, Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta hit solo homers off Texas starter Martin Perez (3-2). The Rangers nished with two hits.
Twins 10, Yankees 4

CLEVELAND Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run double to cap Clevelands comeback in the sixth inning, and the Indians charged into the AllStar break with a three-game sweep of Kansas City.

Aaron Hicks hit a three-run homer a pitch after shortstop Eduardo Nunez made a two-out throwing error, and Minnesota took advantage of New York miscues and misfortune to beat CC Sabathia for the rst time in six years and end more than a decade of misery in the Bronx. Justin Morneau had three hits two very well placed as Minnesota took two of three from New York to win a series at Yankee Stadium for the rst time since taking a set at the old ballpark in 2001. Still, the Twins are 9-31 in the Bronx since 2002. They had even less success against Sabathia (9-8), going 0-11 in 12 games including the postseason after beating him

TAMPA, Fla. Alex Rodriguez joked that it has been a long time since he last homered. Although he just missed getting one Sunday, A-Rod thought he was making progress. Rodriguez had a run-scoring double and two RBIs for Class A Tampa, his rst extra-base hit during a minor league rehabilitation assignment. Rodriguez was 1 for 3 with a walk as the designated hitter against Bradenton. Coming back from hip surgery in January, he is scheduled to join Double-A Trenton for Mondays Eastern League game at

Reading in Pennsylvania. Rodriguez is 3 for 21 (.143) with three RBIs and six strikeouts during his injury rehab. Rodriguez met Friday in the Tampa with Major League Baseball ofcials investigating the distribution of performance-enhancing drugs. With rain in the area, the Yankees wanted Rodriguez to travel to Buffalo, where Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre is playing this weekend, a person familiar with the plans told The Associated Press. Rodriguez told the Yankees he was too worn down to go, the person told the

AP. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. Rodriguez had been scheduled to play third base in games Thursday and Friday for Tampa, but both were rained out. He wasnt seen by reporters at the ballpark on Friday. It was rained out, Rodriguez said. Whatever conversations I have with my coaches and my trainers, I will keep that private. As for any plans that he was supposed to join the Triple-A team this weekend, this is news to me, he said.

American 100-meter record holder Tyson Gay, who had promoted himself as a clean athlete, tested positive for a banned substance and said he will pull out of the world championships next month in Moscow. Gay wouldnt reveal the substance in a phone conversation from Amsterdam on Sunday, but he said he was notied by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency late last week that a sample came back positive from a May 16 out-of-competition test. He said he will have his B sample tested soon, possibly as early as this week. I dont have a sabotage

story. I dont have any lies. I dont have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake or it was on USADAs hands, someone playing games, said Gay, who fought back sobs as he spoke. I dont have any of those stories. I basically put my trust in someone and I was let down. Asked who that person was, Gay replied: I cant really say it. Sometimes a human being naturally, generally trusts somebody. Thats what people do. USATF CEO Max Siegel said in a statement: It is not the news anyone wanted to hear, at any time, about any athlete.

Instead, the programs pursued the Ireland game, marking the rst international competition for both football teams. On a personal level, obviously coach OBrien and I are both of Irish heritage, so it means a great deal to both of us to be in a position to bring our teams here, OLeary said. This will mark the eighth American college football game in Ireland in NCAA history. Notre Dame defeated Navy last year in Dublin. Notre Dame and Navy also played in the last college game at Croke Park, in 1996. In a release, ofcials said that last years Notre Dame-Navy game drew 35,000 U.S. visitors to Dublin and generated about $130 million in economic impact. Leo Varadkar, Irelands minister for transport tourism and sport, said the Penn State-UCF game would be

Prices range from $26 to $104 for available seats. Ofcial travel packages, which include a pre-game tailgate at the Guinness Storehouse, also are available.

NEW YORK Matt Davidson was overwhelmed when a Hall of Fame representative stopped by and asked for some gameused equipment to display in Cooperstown. Batting helmet? Sure thing. Batting gloves? Here ya go. But not his bat, Davidson said. No, sir. He needs to hang onto that. Down in the minor leagues, supplies are limited. The Hall of Fame wanted to take one of my bats, and I told them Im on an unbelievable pace for breaking bats. I broke about 40 this year. Its unreal, the budding Arizona Diamondbacks slugger said. So I dont know what it is. But I was like, Ive got to have this. I mean, Ive got to make the season still. And I hit a homer with it, so I better keep it. Its lucky. Davidson hit a two-run shot Sunday that sent the United States past the World Team 4-2 in the All-Star Futures Game, baseballs annual showcase for top minor league prospects. The opening event for three days of All-Star festivities at Citi Field, the Futures Game certainly had a New York Mets avor in their home ballpark. Two of the teams touted pitching prospects, Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero, started on the mound, and each worked a scoreless inning. It was a glimpse into the future, not just for us, but for our fans. Its real positive, general manager Sandy Alderson said.

Lincecum
From page 1B He wanted it. You could tell. He was denitely in his zone, so to speak, Righetti said. It goes without saying how badly a guy wants it when its going like that, Lincecum said. You just hope they give you a leash to do so and you do so with the slack that youre given. I think it just turns into an internal focus and you try to take advantage of the pitches you have left and you know that every pitch that you throw is that much more worrisome, Im pretty sure. Bochy said he was impressed with how Lincecum got locked in when he had thrown about 100 pitches. Sure, thats a lot of pitches, but theres days when a guy gets in a groove, hes not putting a lot of effort in it and you let the dog run. Theres no way I could have taken that kid out, Bochy said. First of all, he probably wouldnt have talked to me the rest of the season. But he was still going strong. Lincecum struck out 13, walked four and hit a batter. He struggled this year and last, although hes also been plagued this season by poor run support. Lincecums no-hitter for the Giants follows Jonathan Sanchezs no-no in 2009 also against the Padres and Matt Cains perfect game last year. Righetti recalled that early in Lincecums career, his stuff was so good that it wasnt uncommon to think, Uh oh, this is the day. I dont know that hed say this publicly, I think he maybe felt his time was past, Righetti said. I knew he watched Jonathan get his, and then Cain, and you know hes thinking about it. For him to get it, I had tears in my eyes. I know what hes been through, back and forth, and being the guy, and people picking him apart. Im proud of him. I told him that the last game the way hes been handling it all, and the way hes gone through this wave that every guys got to go through. Lincecums no-hitter the rst in Petco Parks 10-year history was popular well beyond the pro-Giants crowd in San Diego. Lincecum is from Seattle and pitched for the University of Washington. During a pitching change during the AngelsMariners game at Safeco Field, the ninth inning of the Giants-Padres game was shown on the video board, until there were two strikes on the last batter, Yonder Alonso. Josh Hamilton then stepped into the batters box and the other game was taken off the board, drawing boos from the crowd. Hamilton had a long at-bat and word began trickling through the crowd that Lincecum had nished the no-no. Before the next batter, the nal out of Lincecums no-hitter was shown, and the crowd cheered.

Both managers were former Mets favorites, too. Edgardo Alfonzo guided the World Team, and his counterpart was Mookie Wilson who certainly took the job seriously. He brought in Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesse Biddle in the middle of an inning to get out of a jam. New York outelder Brandon Nimmo also got in the game and moved into captain David Wrights

locker for the day. Im honored that I get to stand where he stands. Im not taking his place or anything, Nimmo said. I hope this is my eld in the future. The only other time the Mets hosted the All-Star game was in Shea Stadiums debut season of 1964. And while a scattered crowd announced at 39,188 was eager to see the promise of a better future, it turned into a big day for the

Diamondbacks. In addition to Davidsons drive, Chris Owings looked silky smooth at shortstop. On the mound, righthander Archie Bradley worked a perfect inning, showing off his 98 mph fastball and sharp curve. Baseball America recently rated Bradley the games top pitching prospect. He passed up a chance to play quarterback for Oklahoma back home.

Perry captures US Senior Open

OMAHA, Neb. Kenny Perry completed his comeback from 10 shots down after the second round to win the U.S. Senior Open on Sunday. Perry shot a nal-round 63 at the Omaha Country Club and won his second straight senior major by ve strokes over Fred Funk. He set two tournament records over the last 36 holes for the 64-63 nish and for the size of decit he overcame. The 52-year-old Kentuckian started Sunday two shots behind leader Michael Allen, but was in front to stay after he birdied the second and third holes and Allen bogeyed the third. Perrys 63 matched Allens Friday score for best round of the tournament and was the best ever in a U.S. Senior Open nal round. He nished with a 13-under 267, tying the tournament record Hale Irwin set in 2000 at Saucon Valley in Pennsylvania.

British rider Froome wins eventful Stage 15

Ventoux, and his acceleration was too much for twotime former champion Contador. The Spaniard dropped back and nished about 1 minute, 40 seconds behind. Colombian Nairo Quintana was second, 29 seconds behind as tens of thousands of people crammed the roadside on Bastille Day Frances National Day. The win means Froome effectively made up the time he lost on Fridays sprint stage, when Contador caught him with a surprise attack. He leads Dutchman Bauke Mollema by 4 minutes, 14 seconds and Contador by 4:25. The longest stage of the race took riders over 151 miles from Givors in the winemaking Rhone Valley and ended in the Provence region. Ventoux is one of the most famed climbs in the Tours 110-year history. Britains Tom Simpson collapsed and died on it during the 1967 Tour. Froome raised his right arm in the air when he crossed the line for his second stage win of the race after winning a mountain stage in the Pyrenees on Stage 8 with a similarly decimating attack. It was incredible today, incredible. This is the biggest victory of my career, Froome said.

From page 1B But Ive seen a heck of a lot worse. Danko himself had trouble trying to control his own car a ashy Radical entered in the C Sports Racer division. I had a couple dipsy-doodles where the car went sideways, then backwards, Danko said. When its this hot, the road doesnt give you the grip you need. As they say it (the car) goes away on you. The heat was a big factor here. But its always good when no one gets hurt and the race cars dont suffer much damage. Burke didnt experience those worries. Never felt out of control, Burke said. I found the pavement smooth. It was hardly a rocky transition into the world of hill climbing for the Rumson, N.J., resident. Normally a road course competitor along with his 24-year-old son, Connor Burke, the elder Burke said he was intrigued by the idea of doing a hill climb after his crew chief Kenneth Company started talking about Giants Despair a few years ago. Hes from here, he told me about it, John Burke said. I wanted to try it before, but there was always a conict in the (road racing) schedule. This year, there wasnt. His debut into hill climb was impressive enough, as Burke sat in third place after Saturdays opening day of the weekend Giants Despair with a fast time of 43.278. Then he headed off to that nights race party, which sort of turned into his birthday party. At the party, they found out it was my birthday and sang Happy Birthday, Burke said. Thats half the fun of this the comraderie. The birthday boy found even more fun on the events nal day. He shaved more than three seconds off his climb time, and overtook Saturdays leader George Bowland who placed second with a fast time

of 41.140. Connor Burke placed third in his 2004 Swift 014 with a time of 42.988. Its awesome, Connor said of his dads victory. For him and I both, it was a lot of learning. We talked about our runs how to kind of use the clutch a little slower and how to get a faster start. I guess we shared our experiences. Its a lot different than what were both used to. To come from perfect, paved track conditions to a hill climb with such drastic elevation and corners is so extreme, Connor continued. If youre off-line a

little bit, itll kind of send you out into the weeds. To see him take the win in his rst time is pretty exciting. It seems the thrill of the hill got caught in John Burkes blood. Well be back next year, probably just to this one, Giants Despair, John Burke said. Made a lot of good friends here this weekend. I think we did everything according to plan we wanted to be safe, have fun. If we did that, we thought the speed would come, and it did. It feels good.

Dixon sweeps IndyCars Toronto doubleheader

Win vaults driver into second place in the standings
What a turnaround in a couple weeks, said Dixon, who was winless a week ago but broke through at Pocono for his rst victory of the year. Now he cant be stopped and Sundays win, the 32nd of his career, moved Dixon into sole possession of seventh on the all-time wins list. His victory Saturday moved him into a tie with teammate Dario Franchitti, Sebastien Bourdais and Paul Tracy, but the 32-year-old New Zealander is on the hunt for much more. His sweep of the Toronto doubleheader also earned Dixon a $100,000 bonus from IndyCar sponsor Sonax. $100 grand is good, but Id The Associated Press TORONTO Scott Dixon pulled off a weekend sweep through the streets of Toronto that has made him a sudden championship contender. Dixon was barely challenged at Exhibition Place, needing to pull off two late restarts to preserve what was otherwise an easy Sunday drive. It was his third consecutive win in seven days and it vaulted Dixon from seventh in the standings before last weeks race at Pocono to second behind series leader Helio Castroneves. Next up for IndyCar? An Aug. 4 race at Mid-Ohio, where Dixon is the defending winner. rather have the points. Points are why were here, said Dixon, who moved ahead of Franchitti by one victory to become the winningest active driver in IndyCar. But in the more important points race, Dixon now trails leader Castroneves by 29 points with six races remaining. Castroneves nished second but had nothing in his Chevrolet to challenge the Honda driven by Dixon, who started from the pole. They were in a different league, Scott and Ganassi guys, I was pushing, Castroneves said. Whatever he is taking for breakfast, I want it. Scott, tell me what youre having for breakfast. Lets be realistic the guy was leading the whole race, 13 seconds ahead. Bourdais was third for his second podium nish of the weekend after not nishing in the top-three in American openwheel since 2007. On Saturday, his second-place trophy slipped off its pedestal and shattered as he was presented with it on the podium. Sunday was a successful handoff as Bourdais picked up the trophy without a pedestal. Bourdais managed his nish without having a single push-topass to rely on inside his car, and passed Power on the nal restart with three laps remaining to grab his podium nish. It was really hard, and it was from seventh place, Bourdais said. Things just turned our way. I was hooked up.

Brian Vickers a surprise Its Not too late! today! winner at New Hampshire apply REGISTER TODAY
The Associated Press LOUDON, N.H. Brian Vickers pulled into the lead late and took off on the green-white-checkered nish to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The surprise winner snapped a 75-race losing streak in the series with his third career Sprint Cup victory. Vickers drives a part-time schedule for Michael Waltrip Racing and competed in just his eighth race of the season. Vickers made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in 2009, only to be sidelined most of the next season with blood clots. He returned to drive a full schedule in 2011 but made only eight Cup starts last season. Kyle Busch was second and Jeff Burton third. Pole winner Brad Keselowski was fourth and Aric Almirola fth. Jimmie Johnson brushed off his 43rd-place start to nish sixth. Tony Stewart was running inside the top 10 at the nal caution until he ran out of fuel and plummeted to 26th. It wasnt until the end when we started running down the 18 (Busch) and the 14 (Stewart) that I felt we had a car capable of winning, Vickers said. Then I was hungry. Vickers hadnt won since the August 2009 race at Michigan. He won his rst career Cup race in August 2006 at Talladega Superspeedway.

Acting Vancouver Police Chief Doug LePard said there was no indication of foul play. Vancouver police said Sunday that an autopsy is expected to take place on Monday to determine the cause of death. Monteiths body was found by hotel staff who entered his room after he missed his check-out time, LePard said. Monteith had checked into the hotel on July 6. We do not have a great deal of information as to cause of death, said British Columbia Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe. She said further tests would be needed to determine how Monteith died. The exact nature of those examinations will depend on investigative ndings within the next day or two as information is gathered from medical records and discussions with family take place, she said. LePard said Monteith had been out with people earlier and that those people are being interviewed. Video and electronic records from the hotel indicate Monteith returned to his room by himself early Saturday morning, and he was believed to be alone when he died, LePard said. Lapointe said he had been dead for several hours by the time his body was found. Lea Michele, Monteiths Glee co-star and reallife girlfriend, was asking for privacy after receiving news of his death, said her representative, Molly Kawachi of ID-PR . We ask that everyone kindly respect Leas privacy during this devastating time, Kawachi said in in an email to The Associated Press. Other Glee cast members and fellow celebrities took to Twitter to express their feelings after news of Monteiths death broke. I have no words! My heart is broken, Dot-Marie Jones, who plays football coach Shannon Beiste on Glee, said in a post

Elaine Ganley

PARIS Halle Berry married her anc, French actor Olivier Martinez, in a weekend ceremony in a village church where princes are buried in Frances Burgundy region. The owner of the Chateau de Vallery, where the couple stayed with their 60 guests, said on Sunday that the betrothal a day earlier ended with a dinner and an unusual reworks display of water, re and snow in the chateau gardens. A wedding cake fol-

lowed. Patrice Vansteenberghe said the actress 46 and pregnant and her 47-year-old husband were very beautiful and very happy. Berrys publicist, Meredith OSullivan Wasson, conrmed the marriage. Vansteenberghe would not say who attended the gala wedding. But he said the bride was coy about her long, white dress, wanting to keep it from public view. All I can say is that it was a dress with a deeply plunging back, Vansteenberghe said. He added that The event was condential

because she wanted to be left alone on the day of her marriage. Berry, who has a ve-year-old daughter, is expecting her rst child with Martinez. While there was no sign of a baby bump when The Associated Press interviewed the Oscar-winning star in early April, Vansteenberghe said that she is very pregnant. The princes and princesses of the Conde line from the 16th to early 18th century, are buried in the church facing the chateau and its chapel until the late 19th century, when it was given to the village of Vallery.

Woman who is attracted to older men should ignore hostile comments

Dear Abby: I lived abroad alone in my late teens, spent my early 20s exploring the West, and finished my college degree while working full time. It gave me independence, experience and clarity. My problem is, in dating I feel leagues ahead of men who are my age. I am attracted to much older men. My current boyfriend is 15 years older than I am. The age gap is often a topic of conversation among my acquaintances. What are your thoughts on who a person should be dating in her 20s? How should I deal with those who believe I am breaking a social code? Old Soul in Colorado

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE Dear Old Soul: I cant give you an unbiased opinion because when I was in my 20s, I dated older men. They liked to talk, I liked to listen, and I learned a great deal about life from them. I hope the same will be true for you. As to how you should deal with people who accuse you of breaking a social norm, unless they have a valid reason for criticizing the man youre dating, tune them out.
Dear Abby: I am a 26-year-old woman who is afraid of my true feelings. I have been friends with a woman who is a lesbian for seven years. I have

always been attracted to women, but I have always dated men. I have just ended a five-year relationship, and over the past few months my friend and I have grown very close. I am starting to have feelings for her sexually. My problem is, I have an 8-year-old daughter, and I dont know how she would handle it if I were to date a woman instead of a man. I am also afraid of how my family would react. Our attraction is unspoken, but I can see it when I look into her eyes. Should I admit my feelings or should we remain friends? Afraid of My True Feelings in Ohio Dear Afraid: I am reluctant to advise you to spend the rest of your life living a lie in order to avoid upsetting

your family, because I dont think it would be healthy for you. Talk to your friend. Once you are sure the relationship with this woman is serious, mutual and lasting, tell your daughter you are dating. Children are adaptable, and this may be less of a surprise to her than you fear. My advice is to listen to your heart. Dear Abby: My husband and my son get along better with me when theyre not together. When I am there, they gang up on me and become adversarial. I have reached a point where I hate to be around them at the same time. I dont know what to do about this. When I try to talk to my husband about it, he gets angry and blames me. What do you think about this? Threes a Crowd in South Carolina

Dear Threes A Crowd: If picking on you is part of their male bonding, its unhealthy. Your husband may do it because he has underlying anger issues. Your son may participate because his father encourages it, but he should not be allowed to treat you with disrespect. The three of you should get family counseling. If that doesnt help, you may need individual counseling to help you either stand up for yourself or decide whether you can continue living this way.
To receive a collection of Abbys most memorable and most frequently requested poems 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 Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In facing problems head-on, youre bound to find solutions. That is your usual style anyway, headstrong ram. But you may also happen upon solutions by skirting the issue. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll sense that people want to hear what you have to say, and youll present your ideas with enthusiasm. However, when its not your turn, youll listen with empathy. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some 8-year-olds have to be told not to spoil the magic, or theyll excitedly point out the magicians next move. Tell your inner 8-year-old that sophisticated people keep it to themselves. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may find that you dont care at all whether people take you seriously upon first meeting you. Youll gladly operate under the radar today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In certain moments, you will resonate with the beauty and glory of life. Those will not be quiet moments; rather, youll get caught up in a boisterous song of sorts. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you like to practice alone, and other times you prefer to play with others. Youll find time to do both today. If you keep this up, youll soon be both masterful and in demand. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes we try to love others in our own way, but they cant comprehend it in that way. Figure out what communicates love to the other person, and offer that. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to make an impression not on others but on yourself. Youve grown so used to who you are that you can hardly get past the familiarity. Time alone will reacquaint you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You want to be the best possible version of yourself, and certain people make it easier than others. Those who focus on your best qualities bring those qualities to the forefront. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When he was young, composer Giacomo Puccini was dropped by a music teacher who told him he had no talent. Youre on to something now, something the socalled experts dont understand. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Go softly and tread lightly. The tender energy you bring to your endeavors will be quite enough. Youll be surprised at what you can accomplish with a gentle touch. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment, had these words to encourage your efforts: Start by doing whats necessary; then do whats possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 15). Your life will be exciting stressful, but exciting. Youll work out your highly charged emotions in exercise through August and become both fit and happy. Youll gain an advantage in a professional environment in September. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 34, 17 and 5.
