WASHINGTON Making its case for missile strikes against Syria, the White House released an intelligence report concluding that a special chemical weapons unit used nerve gas to kill more than 1,400 people, including at least 426 children, far more than most previous estimates. President Barack Obama acknowledged that Americans, including him, were war weary
and suspicious of engaging in a new military action, especially in the Middle East. Although he insisted he has not decided to take military action, he said Friday that he is considering a limited, narrow attack on Syrian President Bashar Assads government to deter further use of chemical weapons. Were not considering any open-ended commitment, Obama said in brief remarks to reporters. Were not considering any boots-on-theground approach. Obama suggested the
worlds superpower must act alone at times to safeguard global security. A lot people think something should be done, but nobody wants to do it, he said a day after Britains House of Commons refused to back an armed response, forcing Americas most stalwart ally to withdraw from any joint military action. Obama later spoke by phone with British Prime Minister David Cameron as well as with French President Francois Hollande, who continues to
publicly back targeted reprisals. The White House issued nearly identical statements after each call, saying the leaders had agreed that Syrias use of chemical weapons was unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. As a team of United Nations chemical weapons experts wrapped up their eld work in Damascus, the Syrian capital, and prepared to leave, the White House sent Secretary of State John F. Kerry in front of the cameras for the second time this See SYRIA | 12A

HARRISBURG The regions largest electric utility is accused of violating its internal guidelines and state law as part of its response to a late-October 2011 snowstorm that left 388,318 of PPLs 1.4 million customers, including many in Luzerne County, without power. PPL Corp. faces a $60,000 ne from the state Public Utility Commission. The PUC has asked for public comment on the matter before approving the settlement, though all details of the matter are not being given to the public. Allentown-based PPL denied the allegations but agreed to a settlement to avoid a formal investigation, according to the 31-page settlement led on the PUC website. According to a summary of the incident offered by the PUC: On April 26, 2012, after receiving an anonymous letter from a PPL employee, the PUCs independent Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement, or I&E, began an informal investigation into PPLs alleged improper transfer of a restoration crew in the See SETTLE | 2A

The suit led by Demchak Partners Limited Partnership, a cross- county group of natural gas leaseholders embittered by what they deem as excessive production fees withheld from their royalty checks demanded damages for royalty underpayment, according to the lawsuit complaint. Chesapeake agreed to a settlement of no less than $7.5 million to reimburse leaseholders for a percentage of production fees.

AVOCA The Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International Airport has applied for a $575,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration to help expand service and market the airport. The application was led this week with the FAAs Small Community Air Service Development Grant program. The grant would be used toward a nearly $1.2 million initiative that includes enticing airlines to add ights to
leisure and business destinations not currently offered out of Northeastern Pennsylvania including Tampa, Boston, Pittsburgh, Washington and Las Vegas, said Barry J. Centini, the airports director. Money would be used to help subsidize the airlines, could go toward landing fees and other offers making ying in to and out of the area more attractive, Centini said. Additional money would be used to amplify marketing efforts for those airlines and existing airlines. U.S. Sen. Bob Casey,
D-Scranton quickly drafted a letter voicing his support. I understand that the airports three main program goals are to secure air service along leisure and vacation routes, Casey restore service to business destinations on the eastern seaboard, and to expand a marketing campaign to attract new carriers to the airport, Casey wrote to FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta. The estimated total project cost is just under $1.2 million, and when these goals are met the entire Northeastern Pennsylvania region will experience the economic benets
of lower air fares and expanded air service, Casey said. The grant program is competitive, with less than $15 million available nationwide on an annual basis. In scal year 2012, 33 airports received grants from this program totalling $13,917,000. The only one located in Pennsylvania was Williamsport, which received $500,000. In recent years airports in State College, Harrisburg and Latrobe also have received funding ranging from $200,000 to $400,000. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport received funds in the past to help secure
Northwest Airlines ights to Detroit. Casey noted that demand for air service to and from the region is expected to increase beyond current numbers because this airport is located in close proximity to signicant deposits of natural gas located in northeastern and central Pennsylvania. Despite these factors, air travelers in the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton metropolitan area pay fares higher than in most similarly-sized regions around the country. As it appears, this funding will help make WilkesBarre/Scranton International airport more attractive to businesses and recreational travelers alike.
WILKES-BARRE Clyde Tonkin was convicted by a Luzerne County jury in April of sexually assaulting a now 14-year-old girl. For separate hearings Friday to determine if Tonkin is a sexually violent predator and sentencing, he wanted his own lawyer rather than the trial lawyer. Tonkins trial lawyer, public defender John Sobota, was permitted to leave by Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. when Tonkin advised the judge he privately hired attorney John Moses a few days ago. Sklarosky had no choice but to continue Tonkins Megans Law hearing and sentencing until Sept. 27 to allow Moses to familiarize himself with the
case. Assistant District Attorney Nancy Violi was prepared to proceed in requesting Tonkin be sentenced and was notied Tonkin Friday morning that Tonkin had hired Moses. Tonkin is facing up to 20 years in state prison and perhaps a lifetime registration requirement if he is found as a violent sexual predator. Tonkin went missing during his trial, at which the jury deliberated for 10 minutes before nding him guilty in absentia of statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, sexual assault and indecent assault. He cut off an ankle bracket the night before the rst
day of his trial and jury selection on April 15. The 14-year-old girl testied at the trial that she trusted Tonkin and even had regarded him as a father-gure until he sexually assaulted her. The girl said that in November 2011 she discovered she was 28 weeks pregnant. She told Tonkin of the pregnancy, she testied, and Tonkin said the two would go away. Tonkin ed the area with the girl in her eighth month of pregnancy. They were captured at a motel in Ohio, and the girl was returned to her mother in Jenkins Township in February 2012. The teen gave birth to her daughter a few days later. Tonkin was captured April 18 by U.S. marshals and Exeter police at a store in Exeter.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. A bank robbery suspect trying to elude police searching for him in an apartment building jumped into a garbage chute and survived a 200-foot fall into trash in the basement, police said Friday. Robin Gutheridge, 26, plunged from the 21st oor of the Clinton Plaza Apartments, a few blocks from the Chase Bank Branch he had robbed earlier, according to Sgt. Tom Connellan. He was conscious and told police he had climbed into the garbage chute to avoid being captured. Police estimate he fell about 210 feet before landing on garbage in a compactor at the bottom. He was able to slow himself down by holding the sides of chute, and the garbage may have cushioned the fall, but he did get severe injuries, Connellan said. Fireghters moved the compactor and removed Gutheridge from the chute, police said. Gutheridge was in critical condition Friday.

Settle
From page 1A wake of the Oct. 29, 2011, snowstorm. The allegation was that the restoration crew was transferred from a higher priority job in order to restore service to a lower priority job. The bureau alleged this was a violation of PUC regulations, the Public Utility Code and the companys restoration procedures. A copy of the letter has not been released by the PUC; The Times Leader has led a right to know request seeking to obtain a copy. Jennifer R. Kocher, a PUC spokeswoman, said she could not release the letter or additional details of the case because of the settlement agreement, including what areas were affected and the number of customers. As a means of reaching an amicable settlement, I&E agreed to exclude from the settlement agreement certain details of the incident which prompted I&Es informal investigation, said Kocher. In concluding the informal investigation, the I&E felt the outcome, which works to ensure this type incident is avoided in the future, was more signicant than some specics of the incident itself. According to the settlement, the ne cannot be recovered from consumers. Bryan Hay, a PPL spokesman, said, The settlement agreement with the Public Utility Commission staff is appropriate and in the public interest. When the PUCs staff investigated, PPL Electric Utilities fully cooperated but believes it didnt violate any state or internal regulations or procedures involving storm restoration priority. That being said, the settlement agreement is a legal matter and I must refer you to the public ling on the PUC website for any additional information. That proposed settlement offers an incomplete account of the incident. It says PPL restoration crews restoring power were improperly transferred from a high priority job in order to restore service to a lower priority job. It goes on to say that If this matter had been litigated, I&E would have alleged that PPL Electric violated its duty to furnish and maintain adequate, efcient, safe, and reasonable service. Under the settlement, PPL would be required to add a provision to its storm restoration procedures instructing personnel not to deviate from the companys guidelines when assigning storm restoration crews and will le reports with the commission that specify the companys compliance with the terms of the settlement. The October storm, which hit on Halloween weekend, dumped heavy, wet snow throughout eastern and central Pennsylvania, bringing down branches and power lines and causing more than 2,000 customers to lose power in Luzerne County alone. The largest accumulations in the region were recorded in the higher elevations: Forest City in Susquehanna County had 7.8 inches; Mountain Top, 6 inches, and Moscow in Lackawanna County 4.5 inches. At the time, PPL spokeswoman Lissette Santana said 200 crews were working to restore power and they would be joined by crews from Kentucky and standby contractors if needed. Those interested in commenting on the proposed settlement should send the feedback in the next two weeks to: Secretary, PO Box 3265, Harrisburg, PA 17105.

WILKES-BARRE A re that claimed the life of a 90-year-old woman who lived alone was ruled an accident, city re ofcials said Friday. Fireghters found the body of Elizabeth Kovach on the second oor of her house at 77 Kent Lane minutes after responding just before 7 p.m. Thursday. Kovach, or Betty as she
was known in the neighborhood, died from smoke inhalation, according to the Luzerne County Coroners Ofce. No autopsy is scheduled. An investigation by a state police deputy re marshal ruled the re as accidental and determined it was caused by careless smoking. Fireghters responded to the two-story, wood-clad home at about 6:45 p.m. and found ames and heavy smoke coming from the structure. Dennis Palmer and his wife Dorothy lived next door to Kovach for 10 years. Dorothy
Palmer was stepping outside when she heard a bang next door and saw ames shooting out of the secondoor window, she said. She alerted her husband and ran down the street to try to contact a neighbor who had been somewhat of a caretaker to Kovach. There were no other reported injuries.

A Sweet Valley woman convicted of piercing the ears of kittens and selling the felines as Gothic kittens is scheduled for a hearing in Luzerne County Court on Sept. 9 on an alleged probation violation. Probation ofcers allege Holly Crawford, 38, of Dobson Road, failed to follow a judges order to report to the adult probation and parole department on Aug. 7 and failed to report to the countys Day Reporting Center at the county correctional facility. Crawford was convicted by a jury of cruelty to animals in April 2010 and was sentenced to the intermediate punishment program for one year. Crawfords sentence has been extended due to previous probation violations, including testing positive for marijuana and alcohol.
Kingston Township police ofcer Chuck Rauschkolb is gearing up for summers last hurrah. Labor Day weekend, said Rauschkolb, is one of the years prime periods for vehicle and boat accidents. To reduce crashes both on highways and waterways he is working with state and municipal police and conservation ofcers to stage DUI checkpoints from Harveys Lake to Mountain Top, with stops planned for about nine municipalities in between. The bottom line here is we want everyone to get home safely, Rauschkolb said. Rauschkolb, coordinator for the crackdown, met with other law enforcement agencies Friday morning at the state-owned boat launch in Harveys Lake on Friday. A reworks display over the water is scheduled for
Sunday, and ofcials were getting a jump-start on establishing a presence for the imminent rush to the lake. Ofcials expect an abundance of boaters to be on the water Monday, and waterways conservation ofcer John Cummings said hes keeping an eye out for drunken drivings seaborne sister offense: boating under the inuence (BUI). While open containers of alcohol are allowed on boats, penalties are the same for drivers or boat operators with blood-alcohol levels over .08 percent, Cummings said. Fines can reach up to $5,000 with loss of boat-operating privileges. Of all the crashes in Harveys Lake this year, borough police Chief Charles Musial said, about 95 percent of them were alcohol-related. Recent accident statistics are hard to calculate because some investigations are ongoing, said Luzerne County DUI coordinator Joe Swortz. Countywide,
accidents from drunken driving in 2012 totaled 65 crashes, three of them fatal, Swortz said. Statewide, statistics show a declining number of DUI offenses, falling from more than 56,000 in 2008 to fewer than 52,000 in 2011. The nature of impaired driving is changing, Swortz said. Statistics show that alcohol-related crashes are down; however, more people disabled by medicines are being caught. The over-the-counter stuff is most deceptive, Swortz said. He has noticed a trend among people of older generations driving with sleep aids in their systems. Too often, medicine users disregard the pill bottle labels and shun warnings against driving while theyre being used, Swortz said. A single drink exponentially inhibits motor skills when mixed with some prescription or over-the-counter drugs, Swortz said. Alcohol levels matter very little when drugs are in the body, and charges for drugged driving can be as signicant as for driving drunk, depending on the level of impairment.
WILKES-BARRE A Hazleton man pleaded guilty in Luzerne County Court on Friday for his role in the beating death of another man during what Hazleton police said was a drug deal. Mitchell Dedes, 18, of West Hemlock Street, pleaded guilty to third-degree murder, robbery and kidnapping before Judge Richard Hughes. Dedes will be sentenced Oct. 9, Hughes said. He could face up to 25 to 50
years in state prison, said assistant district attorneys Joseph Zola and Mamie Dedes Phillips. C i t y police and county detectives say Dedes and Breon Judon, 20, of North Lafayette Court, Hazleton, set up a deal to sell crack cocaine to Aaron Reznick, 29, of Hazleton, on Aug. 4, 2012. Reznick did not have money but offered his iPhone to Dedes and Judon
as collateral, authorities said. Dedes and Judon blamed each other for causing fatal injuries to Reznick. Dedes allegedly told investigators Judon pulled a gun after Reznick gave them the cellphone and became angry after he realized the phone was broken. Judon then ordered Reznick into the trunk of a car they occupied, according to court records. Judons statement claimed Dedes became upset after Reznick told him he did not have any money. Dedes pulled a gun and demanded
Reznick give him the phone, according to this version of events, then ordered Reznick to strip and get into the trunk. Reznick was found unconscious in the road near 10th and Carson streets just after midnight on Aug. 4. He died nine days later at Lehigh Valley Hospital. An autopsy revealed he died from multiple blunt force trauma to the head. Judon is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on Sept. 3 on charges of criminal homicide, kidnapping and robbery.
PLAINS TWP. The Luzerne County Housing Authority hasnt even started to build the townhouse project on Main Street for the elderly, but there is already a strong interest in the units. If all goes as planned, the more than $1 million project could be completed by the end of 2014, said Dave Fagula, the housing authoritys executive director. The authority purchased the slightly more than one-acre parcel two years ago for $135,000 and spent another $50,000 to demolish the former Sacred Heart Church and convent with the intent of building a project twice the size as the one its about to undertake. But lack of funding forced the authority to scale back its plans. A combination of federal, state and authority funds will be used to build the six rental units. Theyll each have about 1,000 square feet of space, including a kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom located on one oor and an attached garage. They will be handicapped-accessible. An 18-unit complex of singlestory houses on Second Street in Plains Township has a waiting list, and people have been asking for townhouses instead of the high-rise apartment buildings. I know I could ll them, Fagula said Thursday while discussing the project. There are already people on our waiting list who have applied for it. The largest share of money $600,000 is coming from the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds designated for low-income housing. Another $400,000 is coming from the Act 137 funds that sets aside a portion of real estate transaction recording fees and deposits them into an account held by the county Ofce of Community Development. The authority is contributing $300,000. Fagula explained that the federal funding comes with strings attached. When you use these HOME dollars, he said, you can only charge a certain amount of rent. In this case, the townhouses will be available to people over the age of 62 in an income bracket below 80 percent of the median income. The rent will be market-based rather than on a persons income as is done with many of the authoritys units. Fagula estimated that the monthly rent would not exceed $550. The townhouses will be staggered downhill with the terrain, and the project will take advantage of the views of the area. The property had a small grotto that Fagula said will be made into a park that features the nearly 2,000-pound bell salvaged from the church.

held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 14. Because state regulations no longer allow electronic items to be disposed of in landlls and garbage haulers will no longer collect them, appliances and TVs have been sitting on sidewalks and porches, as well as in yards and abandoned in wooded areas for weeks, Yannuzzi said. Yannuzzi said he threw his full support behind the idea for an electronics recycling event when Perry and Schadder approached him with it. Weve never had (electronics) recycling in the city itself.

What: Electronic and universal waste recycling event When: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 14 Where: Parking lot on East Chestnut Street between South Wyoming and South Pine streets Who to call: Seniors and disabled individuals who cant get to the event can call Councilman Jim Perry at 570856-4119 or Councilman Kevin Schadder at 570-5901683 to arrange a free pick-up. Hazle Township and Butler Township, and we think its important here, said Perry. I think its a good start to help clean up the city, and I think people will be appreciative. Advanced Green Solutions, of Walnutport, will be recycling the electronics, Perry said. Most items will be accepted for free, including at-screen TVs, computers, washers and dryers, stoves, dishwashers, CRT and LCD monitors, dehumidiers, cables and cords, printers, fax machines, telephones and video game systems.
There will be a $10 charge for tube televisions; $15 for appliances that contain Freon; and $20 for console or projection televisions. Schadder said people leaving their old electronics on sidewalks is a real epidemic, and electronic recycling events have worked well in other municipalities. The event is open to anyone who wants to get rid of their electronics, Schadder and Perry said. And the councilmen will coordinate a free pick-up of items from senior citizens and disabled people who cant get to the event.

WILKES-BARRE A lawyer for an Exeter Township man accused of trading a stolen rearm used in a murder-suicide more than two years ago is seeking to have evidence dismissed against his client. Shawn Burgess, 38, and Jessica Rinehimer, 27, last known address as South Main Street, Ashley, were charged in March 2012 with stealing a .22-caliber revolver from a Mountain Top residence and giving the weapon to Herbert Robinson Jr., 21, in exchange for six

heroin packets, according to court records. Hanover Township police said they learned the rearm was stolen when James Cooper, 39, of Scranton, shot and killed Shana Bagley, 25, and shot Bagleys husband, Brad Bagley, 27, and Thomas Harris in Hanover Village on May 20, 2011. Cooper then took his own life with the rearm. Investigators believe Cooper drove to the apartment complex with the intent to shoot his ex-girlfriend, Shaundra Langille, who the day before had been given temporary custody of their infant daughter. Langille hid in a closet, protecting her daughter and Shana Bagleys child. Rinehimer pleaded guilty to theft, receiving stolen property and illegal rearm ownership. She is scheduled to be sentenced
Sept. 11. Robinson, 22, of Philadelphia, was sentenced in June to 27 months to 54 months in state prison. Burgess attorney, Mark Bufalino, claims police obtained statements from Burgess in violation of his rights. Bufalino said in court papers that Burgess was not read his Miranda rights and believed his freedom was restricted when he was questioned by police. In response, Assistant District Attorney Mary Hanlon Mirabito said any and all statements that may have been taken from (Burgess) were taken either when (Burgess) was not in custody or after he had been issued his Miranda warnings, court records state. A judge has not ruled on the suppression of evidence. A jury trial is scheduled for late September.

BAGHDAD
SEATTLE For generations, pot crusaders have called for an end to the nations prohibition of marijuana, citing everything from what they say are the governments exaggerated claims about its dangers to the racial disparities in who gets busted for drug possession. Now, they will get their chance in Colorado and Washington state to show that legalizing pot is better, less costly and more humane than the last 75 years of prohibition all with the federal governments blessing. In a sweeping new policy statement, the Justice Department said Thursday it will not stand in the way of states that want to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana as voters in Washington and
Colorado did last fall, as long as there are effective controls to keep marijuana away from kids, the black market and federal property. Its nothing short of historic, said Dan Rife of the Marijuana Policy Project, which backed Colorados new law. Its a very big deal for the DOJ to say that if the states want to legalize marijuana, thats ne. Everybody in this movement should be thrilled. It wont only be the White House watching to make sure Washington and Colorado get it right. Voters in Oregon and Alaska could weigh marijuana legalization measures next year, and several states could face ballot questions in 2016, activists say. Meanwhile, Latin and South American countries are also considering pot reform, and the
Obama administrations stance on Washingtons and Colorados laws could embolden them, said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance, which supported Washingtons law. Uruguay has already approved plans to license marijuana growers and shops. The DOJs decision came nearly 10 months after the votes in Washington and Colorado, and ofcials in those states had been forging ahead to make rules for their new industries without knowing whether the federal government would sue to block sales from ever taking place on the grounds that they conict with federal law. Licensed, taxed marijuana sales in the two states are due to start next year, and ofcials have estimated they could raise tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for state coffers. The administrations guidance laid out eight federal law

enforcement priorities that states need to protect if they want to authorize marijuanarelated conduct. They include keeping marijuana in-state, off
the black market, and away from children; preventing violence and gun crimes related to marijuana distribution; and preventing drugged driving.

A Palestinian man walks past police officers in riot gear during a demonstration Friday in the West Bank city of Ramallah against the renewed peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians.
WASHINGTON
RAMALLAH, West Bank The Palestinians have traditionally shown little affection for Israeli politicians. These days, however, they are reaching out to their adversaries in an attempt to jump-start recently renewed peace efforts. Hoping to persuade skeptical Israeli decision makers that they are serious about peace, leading Palestinian politicians have been holding a series of meetings with their Israeli counterparts. The meetings have taken place in Europe, in Israels parliament and next week at the Palestinian government headquarters in the West Bank. Mohammed al-Madani, who is organizing the effort, said the Palestinians realized they need to take a new approach after watching Israeli governments build Jewish settlements on the lands the Palestinians seek for their future state. The settlements, he said, are destroying hopes for peace.
Al-Madani heads the Palestinian Outreach Committee to the Israeli Society, a government-backed group that was formed last year after the U.N. General Assembly, over Israeli objections, recognized Palestine as a nonmember state. Senior Palestinian ofcials, including members of President Mahmoud Abbas inner circle, sit on the committee. Last years U.N. vote sent already strained Palestinian relations with Israel tumbling to a new low, with Israel retaliating with additional settlement plans and the Palestinians threatening to use their new upgraded status to pursue sanctions and war crimes charges against Israel. After months of prodding by the U.S., Israel and the Palestinians last month reopened their rst substantive peace negotiations in nearly ve years. While previous rounds of peace talks, particularly in the 1990s, generated widespread hope and optimism, the current round has created little excitement. After so many years of mistrust,
failure and bouts of violence, neither side seems to be optimistic that the latest talks, expected to last nine months, will be successful. The Palestinians seek the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, territories captured by Israel in 1967, for their state. But as Israel continues to build settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, the Palestinians fear time is running out to divide the land between two states. More than 500,000 Israelis now live in the settlements. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Israeli peace advocates say the establishment of a Palestinian state is the only way to preserve Israels character as a democracy with a Jewish majority. The alternative, they say, is a single state in which Arabs, with their higher birthrate, will one day outnumber Jews. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has embraced the idea of a Palestinian state. But he has continued to expand Jewish settlements and refused to commit to the broad territorial concessions the Palestinians seek.
An electronic failure might be to blame for a practice bomb that was dropped from a jet onto a taverns parking lot, a Maryland National Guard ofcial said Friday. An A-10 Warthog jet from the 104th Fighter Squadron in the 175th Wing was returning from a training mission Thursday night to Wareld Air National Guard Base in Middle River when the inert device was dropped, guard spokesman Lt. Col. Charles Kohler said. The guard has grounded the aircraft while it investigates. Kohler didnt yet know exactly what device it was, but said it is made to y like a 500-pound bomb, but weighs much less. Bomb technicians determined that it was a practice aerial bomb and the device was turned over to the National Guard, the re marshals ofce said.
SUDLERSVILLE, MD.
SAN DIEGO Mayor Bob Filner was true to his reputation as a workaholic during most of his brief tenure at City Hall. Followers adopted a Twitter hashtag #lnereverywhere to chronicle his nonstop pace riding a bicycle to school with children, crashing the podium at the city attorneys news conference to denounce the speakers positions and marching to protest violence against women. Filner, however, has turned into a virtual no-show since allegations surfaced last month that he sexually harassed women and culminated in his resignation less
than nine months into his four-year term. He kept the low prole on Friday his nal day in ofce. The former 10-term congressman had no public appearances scheduled on his last day. His spokeswoman, Lena Lewis, didnt immediately respond to messages seeking comment on his whereabouts. Employees in the City Hall lobby said they hadnt seen the mayor. An ofce receptionist had no comment. Some women who identied themselves as targets of Filners sexual advances held a mock celebration to mark his last day in ofce. Attorney Gloria Allred was anked by her clients as she displayed what she called parting gifts for Filner. She

WASHINGTON A defense attorney on Friday spent hours questioning a midshipmans spotty recollections of a toga party where she says she was sexually assaulted by three Naval Academy football players last year. Attorney Lt. Cmdr. Angela Tang noted inconsistencies in what the 21-year-old senior told Navy investigators last year and how she is recalling the April 2012 off-campus party now during a military court hearing. The woman has testied repeatedly over three days on the stand that she had been drinking before and during the party in Annapolis, Md., and has no memory of having sex with any of the three accused. She said she only learned of what happened after hearing gossip that she had slept with multiple partners at the house where football players gathered. That prompted her to ask one of the accused, Midshipman Josh Tate, 21, whether they had sex that night. She testied that he told her that they had. He also told her she had a sexual encounter with another one of the accused, Midshipman Eric Graham. Tang, who is representing the 21-year-old Graham, noted that the woman testied she had consensual sex the morning after the party in the house with another football player. Tang then asked graphic questions about how oral sex is performed. This is an act that cannot be performed while someone is passed out, Tang said, arguing that her client could not have had oral sex performed without her consent. Midshipman Traves Bush, 22, also has been charged in the case. The Associated Press generally does not name alleged victims of sexual assault. The woman has been testifying at a hearing to determine whether the men will face a court-martial. The hearing is scheduled to continue into the Labor Day holiday weekend. After the hearing, investigating ofcer Cmdr. Robert Monahan will refer recommendations about whether the case should proceed to a court-martial. The academys superintendent will make that decision after reviewing the report. The case has drawn attention as the White House, Congress and the Pentagon have been focusing on the issue of sexual assault after a strong of cases in the military this year. President Barack Obama highlighted the importance of the issue at the Naval Academys graduation ceremony in May.

CAIRO Reeling from a erce security crackdown, the Muslim Brotherhood brought out only scattered, small crowds Friday in its latest protests of Egypts military coup. While the remnants of the Brotherhoods leadership are still able to exhibit strong coordination from underground, the arrests of thousands of its supporters and members and the fear of more bloodshed have weakened its ability to mobilize the streets. The days largest single demonstration was a little more than 10,000 people outside the presidential palace in Cairo, with dozens of gatherings of about 100 protesters or fewer in multiple sites around the capital and the provinces. It was an intentional shift in tactics from a week ago, when the group failed to rally in a single location as a show of strength. Security ofcials dubbed it the buttery plan a urry of protests to distract them. Rather than have protests converge in one

square and encounter force from police and angry residents, the group appeared to purposely plan hundreds of small marches as another way of continuing demonstrations and avoiding bloodshed, according to security ofcials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media. Protest organizers also tried a bit of subterfuge: They said a rally would take place in Sphinx Square in Cairo, but after security forces barricaded the site with barbed wire, tanks and roadblocks, only a few hundred people dem-
onstrated nearby, and the biggest crowd converged across town at the presidential palace. Tens of thousands heeded the Brotherhoods call nationwide for a day of decisiveness, in which the group urged people to break your fear, break the coup. They marched deantly past tanks and armored vehicles on the streets of Cairo and other major cities. More than 1,300 people, most of them Brotherhood supporters, have been killed since President Mohammed Morsi, a longtime leader in the group, was ousted in a popularly backed coup July 3.
Violence peaked two weeks ago when security forces attacked two Brotherhood-led sit-ins, killing more than 600 people in the assaults. More than 100 policemen and soldiers have been killed since the Aug. 14 raids. Police stations, government buildings and churches also have been attacked. When it started, it was only about the return of Morsi to power, said 18-year-old protester Ahmed Osama, who says he lost friends in the recent violence and that his brother was shot. Now it has gone past that. Blood has been shed.

WASHINGTON The U.S. has concluded that nearly half of Irans monthly earnings from crude oil exports are accumulating in accounts overseas because of sanctions that restrict Tehrans access to the money. The estimates, provided to The Associated Press by a senior U.S. ofcial and never released before, are the latest indication that new sanctions imposed in February are deepening Irans economic distress and making it increasingly difcult to access billions of dollars in vital oil revenues. The ofcial spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of sanctions policy. The U.S. hopes the pressure will force Iran to compromise on its nuclear program, which the West suspects is aimed at making a weapon. Iran insists it is for peaceful purposes only and has not budged on demands to halt uranium enrichment, a process that can be used to make fuel for energy production or for a nuclear weapon. The U.S. estimates that about $1.5 billion in crude oil revenues is piling up in restricted foreign accounts every month. Crude revenues overall averaged about $3.4 billion monthly in the rst half of year, according to the assessment.
Irans parliament must grapple with the nations deepening economic distress, due in part to sanctions that inhibit access to earnings from its crude oil exports.
AP photo
That means Iran is not able to either spend or repatriate about 44 percent of its crude oil income. The February sanctions, which dealt one of the harshest blows to the Iranian economy in recent times, aimed at cutting off access to oil revenues. The sanctions require an already reduced pool of oil importers to pay into locked bank accounts that Iran may access only to purchase non-sanctioned goods in that country or humanitarian supplies. If importers do not comply, they face the threat of being shut out of the U.S. nancial system. The U.S. has granted sanctions exemptions to China, India and seven other countries to import Iranian oil. Only six are currently importing oil, according to the government. The U.S. reached the estimates by looking at Irans trade imbalances with oil importers based on customs data from each of the relevant countries. The gures show Iran cannot spend the full amount it earns because
itis limited to buying only non-sanctioned goods for imports from the small pool of trading partners. And it is not able to repatriate the money to ll its foreign reserve coffers or cover any budget shortfalls. Garbis Iradian of the Institute of International Finance, an economic think tank, noted that despite wave after wave of sanctions, Iran continues to run a trade surplus. But that surplus has been shrinking steadily since 2011. The assets piling up abroad could render most of that remaining surplus essentially unusable. This is a major development, Iradian said. If they dont have access to this, it is an additional burden, and if that continues on they will feel the pain, he added. It seems the sanctions intensied with this accessibility issue. Iradian, the deputy director of the IIFs Africa and Middle East Department, said Irans total trade surplus has fallen from about $70 billion in 2011 to about $44 billion in 2012.

FRESNO, Calif. Nearly a third of the huge forest re burning in and around Yosemite National Park was contained Friday and some small communities in the area were no longer under evacuation advisories. Nearly 5,000 reghters were battling the blaze, but in another sign of progress some were expected to be released to go home, said Daniel Berlant, spokesman for the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. We continue to gain the upper hand, but theres still a lot of work to be done, he said. The 2-week-old blaze burning in the Sierra Nevada northeast of Fresno has scorched 315 square miles of brush, oaks and pine, making it the largest U.S. wildre to date this year and the fth largest wildre in modern California records. Containment was estimated at 32 percent. Evacuation advisories were lifted Thursday in Tuolumne City, Soulsbyville and Willow Springs but remained in place for other communities, and evacuations were still mandatory along the res southeastern edge. About 75 square miles of the re are inside Yosemite but at
some distance from the national parks major attractions, including glacially carved Yosemite Valleys granite monoliths and towering waterfalls. Park ofcials expect about 3,000 cars a day to pass through gates during the long Labor Day holiday weekend instead of the nearly 5,000 that might typically show. The re has caused some people to cancel reservations in the park but those vacancies have been quickly lled, ofcials said. Valley campgrounds are still full and skies in Yosemite Valley are crystal clear, said park spokeswoman Kari Cobb. A 4-mile stretch of State Route 120, one of three western entrances into Yosemite, remained closed, hurting tourism-dependent businesses in
communities along the route. Costs reached $47 million, including reghters from 41 states and the District of Columbia and signicant aviation resources including helicopters, a DC-10 jumbo jet and military aircraft equipped with the Modular Airborne FireFighting System. Aircraft have dropped 1.7 million gallons of retardant and 1.4 million gallons of water. The re started Aug. 17 and its cause remains under investigation. It is expected to keep burning long after it is fully contained, and recovery will be extensive. Some 7,000 damaged trees next to power lines will need to be removed by utility crews and 800 guardrail posts will need to be replaced on Route 120, a re fact sheet said.
DUBLIN To all lovers of the perfectly weighed word, Seamus Heaney offered hope on this side of the grave. Heaney, 74, died Friday in a Dublin hospital some 18 years after he won the Nobel Prize in literature and gained global recognition as Irelands greatest poet since William Butler Yeats. He left behind a halfcenturys body of work that sought to capture the essence of his experience: the sour smells and barren beauty of Irish landscapes, the haunting loss of loved ones and of memory itself, and the tormented soul of his native Northern
Ireland. As one of the worlds premier classicists, he translated and interpreted ancient works of Athens and Rome for modern eyes and ears. A bear of a man with a signature mop of untamed silvery hair, he gave other writers and fans time, attention, advice and left a legacy of one-on-one, life-changing moments encouraged by his self-deprecating, common-man touch. He was a wonderful nature poet, a love poet, and a war poet. He certainly addressed the darkness of what we call the troubles, said Michael Longley, a Belfast poet and longtime Heaney condant, who recalled chatting happily with Heaney
MATT HAMILTON An 8-year-old Arizona boy probably will not face criminal charges for driving and crashing his mothers car, fatally injuring his 6-year-old sister, who was riding in the passenger seat, police conrmed Friday. The mother of the two children who reported her children missing minutes before the crash occurred Wednesday night will also not face criminal charges, but an investigation is ongoing, Phoenix Police Department spokesman Sgt. Steve Martos said. Based upon what we know right now, its not a criminal investigation, Martos said.
Poet Seamus Heaney speaks during a 2004 rehearsal for the Northern Irish national Holocaust commemoration at the Waterfront Hall, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Heaney, Irelands foremost poet who won the Nobel literature prize in 1995, died Friday. He was 74.

He continued to write miracles throughout his life, Longley said. He was a poet of extraordinary complexity and profundity, so its surprising and remarkable that he also could be so popular. Its not popular poetry. Seamus made it popular.

Wednesday night was like any other for the young family: The childrens mother, 24, gave them a bath and tucked them in bed about 9:30 before turning in half an hour later, police said. But the childrens grandmother drove by the familys central Phoenix apartment, noticed the front door was open and called to alert her daughter, police said. The mother awoke to nd her children missing and began knocking on neighbors doors, searching for the kids. She noticed her car a 2010 red Hyundai Elantra was gone and called police to report a possible kidnapping, Martos said. The children, meanwhile, were on an apparent
joy ride around town. Two separate 911 calls came into the Phoenix Police Department reporting the red Elantra. One call reported children behind the wheel of a car; the second reported a hitand-run incident in which the children crashed into a fence and ed the scene, Martos said. Police ofcers spotted the red sedan and, still under the impression that the children were being held by a kidnapper, turned on their overhead lights to pull over the car. The car then veered right and crashed into a pole, Martos said. The girl was given immediate medical assistance and rushed to a Phoenix hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

WASHINGTON Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton outpaced President Barack Obama last year in receiving lavish gifts from foreign leaders. Clinton received gold jewelry worth half a million dollars from King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. The State Department said the gift included a necklace bracelet, ring and earrings. The white gold was adorned with teardrop rubies and diamonds. Clinton also got gold, sapphire and diamond jewelry worth $58,000 from Bruneis queen. Obamas most expensive gift was a $16,500 gold-plated clock from Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz alSaud, the Saudi defense minister. Obama, a big sports fan, scored a red, white and blue basketball from and autographed by Chinese President President Xi Jinping. British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife, Samantha, gave Obama a customized Dunlop table tennis table with United States and United Kingdom decals and
paddles worth $1,100. The gifts were among a bounty of vases, watches, artwork and other items given to the Obama family and top U.S. ofcials in 2012, according to the departments Ofce of Protocol, which catalogs the gifts and publishes an annual listing. But dont look for Clinton or Obama to pocket the swag. Under law, most gifts must go to the National Archives or General Services Administration, unless recipients reimburse the U.S. Treasury for them. Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny gave Obama a package of gifts worth $7,246.19 that included a certicate of Obamas Irish heritage, two silver shamrock charm bracelets and a lambs wool scarf and blanket. Myanmar President Thein Sein offered gifts of jewelry for the rst lady, Michelle Obama, and the Obama daughters, Malia and Sasha. The rst lady was given a $4,200 pearl necklace with a gold and diamond clasp. The Obama daughters received two ower brooches of pearl, diamond and gold valued at $4,440.
Britains Samantha Cameron gave the rst lady a cashmere scarf by J. Saunders worth $480. There were gifts that could be consumed and those from display. Clinton got $560 worth of cognac from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Obama received a saber with a 34-inch blade and a silver ligree handle from Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj. Vice President Joe Biden got a silver knife and chopsticks with silver ends from Mongolias prime minister and a female barebreasted bust from Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. The gift list published in the Federal Register also included a present Obama received back in 2009. It was package of artwork worth $124,000 given to the president by Silvio Berlusconi, Italys amboyant former premier. Included was a large book of art, photographs and text by Marilena Ferrari along with a goldpainted box with bookmark and magnifying glass.

WASHINGTON Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will ofciate at a same-sex wedding this weekend in what is believed to be a rst for a member of the nations highest court. Ginsburg will ofciate today at the marriage of Kennedy Center President Michael Kaiser and John Roberts, a government economist. Michael Kaiser is a friend and someone I much admire, Ginsburg said in a written statement Friday. That is why I am ofciating at his wedding. The private ceremony will take place at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a national memorial to President John F. Kennedy. The 80-year-old Ginsburg, an opera lover, is a frequent guest at the center. Same-sex marriage is legal in the District of Columbia and 13 states. I think it will be one more statement that people who
ognition of same-sex marriages, striking down part of an anti-gay marriage law. While hearing arguments in the case in March, Ginsburg argued for treating marriages equally. The rights associated with marriage are pervasive, she said, and the law had created two classes of marriage, full and skim-milk marriage. Before the court heard arguments on the Defense of Marriage Act, Ginsburg told The New Yorker magazine in March that she had not performed a same-sex marriage and had not been asked. Justices do ofciate at other weddings, though. I dont think anybodys asking us, because of these cases, she told the magazine. No one in the gayrights movement wants to risk having any member of the court be criticized or asked to recuse. So I think thats the reason no one has asked me. Asked whether she would perform such a wedding in the future, she said: Why not?

CHICAGO After their efforts to legalize gay marriage zzled in Illinois this year, advocates gave their campaign a serious makeover: They called on unions, focused longerterm and recalibrated their message by using personal stories instead of civil rights comparisons. Its a formula picked up from their fellow activists who made Chicago an inuential player in the push for immigrant rights. Proponents will try again this fall to push gay marriage legislation through the Illinois Legislature, where they fell a few votes short in a Democrat-dominated state thats been surprisingly resistant. But this time, theyre focusing less on lobbying lawmakers and more on priming the environment to make it easier for skittish legislators to cast favorable votes, taking cues from a movement that brought nearly 500,000 protesters to Chicago streets a few years ago and helped advance Dream Act goals this year. The immigration advocates, they really know how to get it done, said Jim Bennett, a director for Lambda Legal, a gay rights group thats part of the Illinois Unites for Marriage campaign. We have a lot to learn from them. While social justice movements often borrow tactics from one another, experts agree the overlap in Illinois stands out among the 13 states that have embraced gay mar-

riage particularly in the union connections and emphasizing the development of young, long-term leaders. At the heart of the renewed push is John Kohlhepp, a lobbyist for Illinois biggest state employee union. He was
hired to lead a coalition that since June has grown from three organizations to roughly 50, including other unions, and raised roughly one-quarter of the campaigns $2 million. On the campaign trail, Kohlhepps energy ripples out to the nearly 20 eld
organizers who have been distributing leaets at events this summer, including the State Fair and Chicagos Bud Billiken Parade, the largest African-American parade nationwide. Kohlhepps cellphone rings constantly with contacts through
the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31, from which he has taken a leave. A seasoned lobbyist, he marks time by counting the days to Oct. 22, when legislators return to Springeld. His involvement shows the strongest link yet between unions and the gay marriage campaign, according to Mary Bernstein, a University of Connecticut sociology professor who tracks social movements. That relationship resonates in labor-friendly Illinois, where immigrant-rights activists and unions made early links that are now hard to separate. Unions, for example, helped Illinois become the rst state to challenge the federal e-Verify immigrant worker identication system, and workers groups have pushed for fair immigrant wages. Bernstein said the Illinois collaborations appear to be an innovation.
SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals court ruled Friday that California can keep in place its ban on the sale of foie gras. In doing so, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals signaled that a lawsuit led by foie gras producers seeking to invalidate the California law was on its last legs. The appeals court said the producers of the delicacy the fatty liver of a force-fed goose or duck failed to raise a serious question that they are likely to succeed on the merits of the lawsuit. The producers wanted the appeals court to lift the ban while their lawsuit is under consideration in a Los Angeles federal court.
The three-judge appeals panel rejected the producers arguments that the ban illegally interferes with commerce and is too vaguely worded, among other claims, indicating the courts doubts about the underlying lawsuit in the process. The ruling upheld a lower court decision, which expressed similar skepticism about the lawsuit led last year by Canadian and New York producers of foie gras. Nonetheless, Marcus Henley, the operations manager of New Yorks Hudson Valley farm, said he and his lawyers would continue to ght the California law. Henley said lawyers would appeal Fridays ruling while continuing to argue in the Los Angeles district court for the invalidation of the California law.

the towns h i p and felt hounded by neighbors who saw his Newell p ro p e r t y as an eyesore. He lost the property last month in a court ght over longstanding complaints that he lived in a storage shed, built an illegal culvert and used a bucket outside as a toilet. Though the township said Newell had failed to pay thousands of dollars in nes and cited that as grounds for the sale, Newell said no one ever told him he had to pay anything. Had I known when I bought that property that I was going to be persecuted and there wasnt going to be any justice for me in the end, I wouldnt have bought it, he said. Describing himself as a proud descendant of a family he said has been in the Poconos since the Revolutionary war, Newell said he had the right to be left alone to live as he saw t. I wasnt bothering anybody, he said, using profanity that drew an admonishment from a prison guard. They should have just laid the hell off. That property was all I had. Before the sheriffs sale, Newell said, he had planned to sell the property once he had taken care of what the township called a stream obstruction due to the culvert driveway. I would have taken at least $50,000 for it and then I wouldve been gone, he said, adding that he was tired of the situation. But they just wouldnt let me alone. And now, here we are.

HARRISBURG Gov. Tom Corbett said Friday he wants some indication from the federal government within a week on whether it will waive a requirement that tens of thousands of Pennsylvania children switch from a state-subsidized health insurance program to Medicaid. The Corbett administration has not formally requested an exemption from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, but Corbett said in his latest letter to Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that the lack of an answer is creating operational challenges for the state. Under the new federal health care law, states must expand the eligibility limits of Medicaid for children, ages 6 to 19, beginning in 2014, though the Pennsylvania program already provides coverage to those children.

down games, which already average close to three hours an increase of more than half an hour since 1963. Its entirely possible, in fact, that some managers will use challenges merely to give relievers more time to warm up or to disrupt the rhythm of an opposing pitcher. Even if MLB hits its goal of keeping each one to a minute and 15 seconds, fans could be signicantly delayed getting home. Another drawback is that the change should largely eliminate one of the most entertaining parts of the ballpark experience the arguments between managers and umpires. Earl Weaver, who piloted the Baltimore Orioles to four pennants, would be largely forgotten except for his legendary tantrums. Atlantas Bobby Cox will be in the Hall of Fame for his 2,504 victories, but he might have made it by setting the alltime record for ejections. Its impossible to think of former Cubs skipper Lou Piniella without recalling the time he protested a call by screaming, throwing his cap, kicking dirt on the offending ofcial, kicking his cap, stomping around and kicking his cap again. Seattle fans associate his tenure there with the occasion when he expressed disagreement by snatching up rst base and heaving it into the outeld, not once but twice. Someday these spectacles sometimes rousing, sometimes ludicrous will be only a memory, like twinight doubleheaders and bullpen cars. By using more instant replay, baseball comes a little closer to achieving perfect accuracy. But sometimes, imperfection is more fun.

COMMenTArY
An example of these damaging policies is the medical device tax included in the Presidents healthcare reform plan. More than $1 billion has already been paid to the federal government this year to cover the tax, leading to layoffs, frozen salaries and slashed research budgets. Indeed, the tax even applies to companies that are not protable and which must be paid when an invoice is issued, before the business even collects payment for the device. Where Pennsylvania has built this country, now our numerous life sciences companies strive to keep it healthy and create jobs. So as the administration brings the value of education to the forefront, we encourage the President and Vice President to give our talented students a future lled with the possibility of a career in innovation. Listen to leaders like Pennsylvania senators Pat Toomey (R) and Bob Casey (D) and 14 out of 18 members of our congressional delegation who support repeal of this job- and innovation-killing tax.

HB 76 has 92 co-sponsors. SB 76 has 22 co-sponsors and is supported by a bi-partisan group. We need 102 sponsors in the House and 26 sponsors in the Senate. The irony of this is that the liquor bill had 26 votes and was rushed through by Rep Turzai for a vote. Why do we need 102 votes? Ask Rep. Turzai, the majority chairman of the rules committee. Hes seemingly out to privatize the liquor and lottery sales and out to destroy HB/SB 76. Property/business owners, its time to get involved.

Syria
From page 1A doubts about a military action that increasingly appears a foregone conclusion. Kerry said the evidence is compelling that Syrias government used poison gas against its own citizens. This is the indiscriminate, inconceivable horror of chemical weapons, he said. This is what Assad did to his own people. In response, the Syrian Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a statement in Damascus calling Kerrys comments full of fabrications and lies. Kerry acknowledged that the CIA and other intelligence agencies had wrongly concluded that Saddam Husseins Iraq had chemical, biological and nuclear weapons stockpiles or programs. The George W. Bush White House used those misjudgments to justify the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, sparking nearly a decade of conict. Our intelligence community has carefully reviewed and re-reviewed information regarding this attack, and I will tell you it is more than mindful of the Iraq experience, Kerry said. We will not repeat that moment. But Kerry inevitably repeated some of the same arguments heard a decade ago. He warned that failing to act would send the wrong message to Assad and would embolden adversaries like Iran. They want to see whether the United States and our friends mean what we say, Kerry said. They are watching to see if Syria can get away with it Kerry cited details from the four-page unclassied intelligence report, which was drawn from a lengthier classied assessment.
WILKES-BARRE With the U.S. mulling a military strike on Syria, area residents are concerned about the people who have been victimized during the two-year civil war in the Middle Eastern country. Riad Attar, of South Wilkes-Barre, grew up in Syria. The schools and church he attended there have been destroyed, he said. He has two sisters living there and the family of his late brother. He keeps in constant contact with them, but he worries and he knows they live in fear. I really think the president should have done something earlier, Attar said Friday. Now, the cat appears to be out of the bag. Attar nds it heartwrenching to watch what is going on in his homeland, he said. Many innocent people have been killed, and more will be if the U.S. decides to attack. I dont see a reason to go in now, he said. It will be more than what we bargained for. Lee Namey, former mayor of Wilkes-Barre, and Leo Solomon, former superintendent at Wilkes-Barre Area School District, said that as the situation becomes more tenuous, they are hopeful a resolution can be found before more bloodshed is spilled. Its very difcult to comment because we dont have all the facts, said Solomon. You cant help but feel a great deal of empathy for the people living there and for what they are having to go through during this ordeal. Solomon has read and seen news accounts about the more than 100,000 people already killed, he said. The actions against
Former Wilkes-Barre Mayor Lee Namey, who has relatives in Syria, says, Im concerned about our position in the world and our troops should we decide to go into Syria.
Lawsuit
From page 1A through a series of treatments to remove moisture, add odorant that gives the gas its distinct smell and compress it for travel through pipelines. Production companies are allowed by law to deduct money from royalties to cover these procedures, provided lease agreements do not pr0hibit it. Moosic attorney Michelle OBrien, one of seven lawyers listed representing the 10 plaintiffs named in the suit, said preparation for this ling started months ago. The plaintiffs listed in the suit represent more than 1,000 members of the ling class, OBrien said. Were thrilled with the resolution we came up with, OBrien said of the settlement. The complaint contends that, under the lease, Chesapeake was not allowed to deduct fees from royalty payments in the name of preparing gas for market. Because the gas is not in its marketable state until it reaches one of several interstate pipelines, the suit states total fees withdrawn for post-wellhead activities violate lease agreements. Attorneys for both sides led a motion to approve the settlement this afternoon, and OBrien hopes to have the matter resolved Tuesday when the courts re-open. In an email, Chesapeake spokesman Jim Gipson said company executives are content with the settlement. Chesapeake is pleased to have reached a fair and reasonable agreement with Demchak Partners Limited Partnership, said Gipson, and we are hopeful the court will approve the resolution of this dispute.
the people are unspeakable, he said, but he doesnt know what the end result will be. President Obama has a very difcult choice to make, Solomon said. Watching the news and reading the accounts makes him sad, Solomon said. He said depictions of the horrendous conditions in Syria today are unbelievable. Namey has relatives still in Syria, he said, but
he has never met them or even talked to them. In reaction to the turmoil in Syria, Namey said his rst inclination would be that the U.S. not get involved if at all possible. I realize that the U.S. has a moral obligation to try to help where we can, he said. But we shouldnt be involved in everything. We need a world consensus on this. So far, only France has indicated it would join
U.S. intervention in Syria, according to an Associated Press report. Namey said before the U.S. commits troops to Syria, the legitimacy of the information coming out of the country needs to be veried. The worst thing we could do is to go in there on an assumption of something that isnt accurate, he said. Especially after Iraq. Nobody condones the activity that has been going
on in Syria, said Namey, and the U.S. should lead the effort to stop it. But, he said, its critical that the U.S. move slowly and carefully before making a decision. Im concerned about our position in the world and our troops should we decide to go into Syria, Namey said. Maybe we shouldnt be taking a lead role at this time. If were wrong again, who will ever believe us again.
Lawyer
From page 1A Did he give you any indication of any interest in this case? Mariani asked attorneys. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle Olshefski argued through testimony and in statements to Mariani that Lupas is faking his condition and has a motivation to do so his freedom. I believe there is still a real possibility that Mr. Lupas is duping the system the way he duped his close friends and associates, Olshefski said. Olshefski called forensic psychiatrist Timothy Michaels to testify; he said Lupas has the ability to go forward with his case, and that Lupas told him details about the charges he faces. Michaels testied Lupas told him that he was just trying to help his friends increase their investments and that he understands what is going on and the charges he faces. Prosecutors say Lupas convinced clients to invest in a purported trust account with the promise they would earn 5 to 7 percent interest. In reality, there was no trust account and he diverted the money for his personal use, according to an indictment. Cognitive defects Lupas does have some cognitive defects, said Michaels, but that he selectively answered some of Michaels questions and avoided others. Lupas could put his best foot forward or his worst foot forward, Michaels said, and believes motivation is a factor. People in trouble will do all sorts of things, Michaels said. Ruzzo and Blazosek called Plains Township geriatric doctor Mario Cornacchione to testify. The doctor said Lupas suffers from an advanced stage of Alzheimers disease and a number of other ailments. Cornacchione saw Lupas a number of times at the end of 2012 when he was treating him, he said. Lupas seemed OK at the time and was able to understand most things, the doctor testied. Lupas condition had deteriorated rapidly when he evaluated him earlier this month and diagnosed him with the advanced stage of the mind-altering disease, Cornacchione said. Cornacchione testied Lupas recently became verbally aggressive, suffered from psychotic episodes, was impulsive, had rambling speech and was incapable of walking or moving without the help of two aides. Nephews testimony The defense attorneys also called Lupas nephew, Eugene Bartoli, to testify about the deteriorating condition of his uncle. Bartoli, 49, an insurance agent at the AJ Lupas insurance rm in Plains Township, testied he and his uncle have always been close and that his uncles health began to worsen after a fall in 2010. Since then, Bartoli said, his uncle has been in and out of the hospital and other health care settings, and has said irrational things over the past few months. Most recently, Bartoli said, just this past week he visited Lupas, who spoke of a murder in Wyalusing he was called to investigate and that he had been shot a number of times while there. Lupas also spoke of going to community dances with him and that he recently won $177 million betting on horse races, Bartoli said He confuses the past and present, Bartoli said. Bartoli testied that only one of Lupas three children visits him, and that his wife, Lillian, hadnt spoken to him recently. Administrator called Lee Ann Emerick, administrator of the Little Flower Manor in Wilkes-Barre, a nursing facility where Lupas now resides, testied about Lupas behavior inside the facility. Emerick did admit that she went to nursing school with Lupas daughter, Diane, and knew the Lupas family before Lupas came there. She said that had no effect on her treatment of Lupas because she hadnt seen the family in many, many years. Emerick testied Lupas is friends with a female resident, but said she is unsure Lupas knows she is female because he calls her John. Emerick also testied that when Lillian Lupas visited her husband, Lupas identied her as his mother, and that he once said he was leaving the facility to visit a nearby horse farm.

A teenager will start for Penn State at quarterback today. It will happen in front of 70,000-some people in an NFL stadium, the same one that will host the Super Bowl in another ve months. Welcome to major college football, guys. No pressure. Most likely it will be true freshman Christian Hackenberg getting that rst snap of the season as the Nittany Lions take on Syracuse. In fact, ESPN. com reported Friday afternoon that Hackenberg had won the starting job. But both he and sophomore Tyler Ferguson should end up making their Penn State debuts before the sun sets. Its up to the rest of the team to make them both feel as comfortable as possible. I think early in the game, just like any rst game its a big game being played in a venue like MetLife Stadium everyone will be jacked up, said Lions coach Bill OBrien, who has done his part to keep the quarterbacks
that much more important. Starting tailbacks Zach Zwinak of Penn State and Jerome Smith of Syracuse both have a punishing style of running, and the goal will be to wear down the opposing defense right from the opening kick. One of the things that well talk about constantly is the beginning of the game, OBrien said. How were going to start the game and, Hey, look, if the beginning of the game doesnt go very well, boy, theres a lot of game left. Dont go in the tank. Keep playing. Keep ghting. Thats what Penn State is all about. Hopefully we understand that when the game rolls around, and were ready to go.

KINGSTON A Wyoming Valley West wideout came in motion, headed for the backeld. It looked like a sweep, and the Dallas sideline screamed it out as the shotgun snap came back to Mike Baur. The Spartans sold it well. Baur kept the ball himself and darted up the middle of the eld for a big gain, further burning the Mountaineers when he cut hard toward the left sideline and picked up 53 yards to set up a touchdown. Baur ran keepers, showed nice touch on his deep ball and even lined up a few times in the slot to keep Dallas off guard all night long in a 40-0 rout on opening night at Spartan Stadium. The 6-foot-4 senior ran for a score, threw for
another and caught one for good measure. He nished his 2013 debut with 284 all-purpose yards to complement the Spartans smothering defense. Its a credit to him, Valley West coach Pat Keating said. It shows his versatility. Hes a great athlete and we can have some fun with that, moving him around. Just as impressive was the Spartans work on defense. The unit set the tone early by holding the Mountaineers to just 39 total yards and one rst down in the rst half. Breaking in a host of new starters at skill positions, the Mounts didnt cross mideld until their rst drive of the second half. Until they recovered a fumbled snap deep in Valley West territory in the nal minute of the game, the Mountaineers deepest penetration was the Valley West 43. With long-

OLD FORGE LakeLehmans rst drive of the football season was a beauty Friday night. Six plays, 65 yards, touchdown. The last drive was going the same way until Old Forge linebacker Shane Schuback intervened. Schuback intercepted a pass at his teams 15-yard line with 41 seconds left, ending Lehmans last hopes and preserving Old Forges 13-7 victory. Four years here, we ght every game so I cant ask for anything more, said Lehman fourth-year coach Jerry Gilsky, whose team lost to Old Forge for
a fourth consecutive time. It was a game that would put us on the map. You get kind of upset when nobody puts you in the state rankings, but we havent earned that spot for the most part. It was 13-7 with a whole bunch of shots to come back. The best came at the very end after Lehman was pinned at its 6-yard line following a Old Forge punt with 1:56 remaining. Quarterback Josh Sayre connected on consecutive passes of 34 yards to wingback Joey Vigil and 21 yards to tight end Tyler Long to dig the Black Knights (0-1) out of the hole. A pass interference penalty moved the ball to the Old Forge 21, but
two plays later Schuback picked off the pass to dash Lehmans comeback hopes. Old Forge (1-0) helped Lehman be in position for a possible game-winning drive by having a touchdown negated by a penalty and a run to the Lehman 1-yard line also wiped out by an infraction. Neither possession produced points. Bottom line, I thought we left two scores on the eld, Old Forge coach Mike Schubeck said. Im a little disappointed in that, but well be all right. Well come back from that. The Blue Devils came back after Vigil ran around right end for a 35-yard touchdown on the seventh play of the game. Brandon
Vahey took the ensuing kickoff and returned it 69 yards to the Lehman 11. Brandon Yescavage ran in from 9 yards out two plays later, but the extra point bounced off the crossbar and Lehman maintained the lead, 7-6. The game was pretty much a struggle until Schubeck took a pass in the left at from quarterback Jake Manetti, dodged a few tacklers and scored with 51 seconds left until halftime to give the Blue Devils the Bill Tarutis | For The Times Leader lead for good.

The Chase Mile, on the dirt track in Kirby Park was the rst race, run on Aug. 15, and Giants Despair Challenge, a 1.1-mile uphill race, was the second race, run on Aug. 21. Buck nished the onemiler in 4 minutes, 21 seconds. Celona nished .06 seconds behind. Celona, who felt that the three trips from Philadelphia to WilkesBarre were worth it, ran in front for most of the race. But Buck caught him at the nal turn at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts at Wilkes University, with about 150 yards to go. Then it was a race over the home stretch. It was so close that some observers felt that if the chips were in the runners shoes instead of in the runners bibs. Celona may have won. Marina Orrson won the See FASTEST | 6B

For The Times Leader A nice Preferred Trot tops a pretty good Saturday night of racing at The Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. In that featured attraction, I am sticking with the red-hot Dws Ny Yank for trainer Ron Burke. The 4-year-old Dilbert Hanover gelding has just toyed with them his last couple, winning as he pleased in open events at Yonkers and Harrahs. Hes just razor sharp right now and last time he raced at Pocono, he dominated, winning in a career best of 1:51.3. Drawing the rail should make things just that much easier for the best bet of the night in that 10th race. By the way todays my last column for a week, as I will be taking a brief vacation break. On The Mark will return on Tuesday, September 10. Best of luck to you all! BEST BET: DWS NY YANK (10TH) VALUE PLAY: JOHNNY Z (4TH)

CHAPMAN LAKE Rich Sickler gave GAR the lead in the rst half. He gave the Grenadiers one last shot to catch Lakeland in the second half. Sicklers physical twoway performance gave the Grenadiers an advantage on the ground, forcing the Chiefs to turn to the air for their opening night victory. Senior Chet Anuszewski came through in his rst varsity start at quarterback,
throwing for 244 yards and two touchdowns Friday night to lead Lakeland to a 27-19 triumph in the rematch of one of last years District 2 Class AA football seminals. Sickler, a 5-foot-10, 190pound senior, ran for 158 yards and a touchdown from his fullback position. As a linebacker, he made eight tackles, assisted on three others, and recovered a fumble in the end zone. Rich is one of those guys who brings his lunch bucket and gives you everything he has, GAR coach Paul Wiedlich said.
GAR had one nal shot at Lakeland when Sickler blew through gaps to throw the Chiefs for losses of three and four yards on simple off-tackle plays, stopping a drive at the 10. The Grenadiers attempted to move the length of the eld in the nal 5:25, using three thirddown conversions, two on tough inside runs by Sickler, to get as close as the Lakeland 30. Sicklers tough as nails, Lakeland coach Jeff Wasilchak said. Jordan Tratthens sack and Josh Waymans fumble recovery
with 35 seconds left sealed the win for Lakeland. The Grenadiers came within inches of tying the game on the opening drive of the second half. GAR moved 79 yards in 11 plays to score on a 2-yard Anthony Maurent touchdown run, but the kick for the tying point went off the upright, protecting a 20-19 Lakeland lead. The Chiefs put together their own 11-play scoring drive, covering 63 yards and held on from there. Chris Roche scored his third touchdown on an 8-yard
run and Josh Strong added the kick for the biggest Chiefs lead of the night. Gavin ODonnell caught ve passes for 129 yards and the games rst touchdown while Roche, a 1,000-yard rusher last season, made up for a tough night on the ground by catching four passes for 96 yards.

Meyers running back Mark Robinson gets close to the goal line on a pass play as Holy Cross Andrew Mies makes the stop Friday night.
WILKES-BARRE Meyers unveiled more than just a new look Friday at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium. The Mohawks might have rolled out a new playbook and uniforms navy matte helmets and crisp white and gold jerseys but they resembled an offense that resembled the high-octane Mohawk teams of the eighties and mid-2000s. The speedy Mohawks fashioned a 57-7 victory over Holy Cross, wasting no time in putting points on the scoreboard. Meyers scored three touchdowns in its rst six plays from scrimmage to defeat the
Crusaders. We have some speed on the corner, Meyers coach Corry Hanson said. So if we can get on the outside of some teams, it really gets us out in the open. Meyers Matt DeMarco scored four touchdowns in his rst game under center. DeMarco ran the ball 10 times for 194 yards. (DeMarco) is smart, Hanson said. He works hard. Hes just an allaround athlete. Two offensive plays into the game, the Mohawks showed their top two weapons. After blocking a punt, sophomore running back Mark Robinson ran 22 yards to set up a 9-yard DeMarco touchdown. Robinson, Hansons
go-to running back this season, racked up 90 yards on three explosive runs in the rst half. He weaved his way around Crusaders defenders to score his rst career touchdown on an explosive 45-yard run. Things went really well tonight, Robinson said. DeMarco and I, we played with each other (in minifootball). We have a lot of chemistry. The Mohawks displayed their offenses other new weapon in the second half, giving the ball to sophomore Zahir Dunell six times for 91 yards and two touchdowns. Hanson said the Mohawks didnt show too much of its offense in the 50-point triumph before its
Week 2 matchup with Old Forge. We saved some things, he said. Meyers scored touchdowns on its rst eight possessions of the game before coughing up two fumbles in the fourth quarter. Holy Cross averted the shutout with a 29-yard Erik Nelson touchdown catch from Eric Gatto. The Mohawks linebacking corps of Jacob Brominski, T.J. Cistrunk and Nate Mahalak held the 47 yards on 26 carries. Meyers forced botched punt attempts twice in the rst quarter.

BERWICK Berwick used the right amount of Force to open the season with a win. Receiver Andrew Force had ve receptions for 193 yards and three touchdowns as the Bulldogs posted a 41-7 victory over Crestwood on Friday night at Crispin Field. They had time, Berwick coach George Curry said of the big night in the passing game for his Bulldogs. They (Crestwood) wanted to stop our run game. They really gave us the pass. Once we got up to tempo, we started connecting. A game that was shaping up to be a defensive struggle through one quarter was anything but after that. Force got behind the Comets defense on a post pattern on the second play of the second quarter for a 39-yard score from quarterback C.J.Curry. The Curry-to-Force show hooked up in the third quarter for touchdown plays of 60 yards on
Berwicks rst possession of the half and again later in the quarter for 50 yards when Curry just hit Force in stride on a y pattern. I got a few really good matchups, Force said. In the beginning, I was oneon-one with a linebacker. After I caught that rst one they started switching out a few DBs on me. In a way, you could say Force had a sub-par game for himself. In 2012, all six of his catches went for touchdowns. His second catch Friday, a 31-yarder that set Berwick up for a Dain Kowalski 7-yard touchdown, was the rst time one of Forces reception plays did not reach the end zone. Force now has nine touchdowns among his 11 career catches and a 43.6 yard per reception average. It was an unusual game in that Crestwood won the turnover battle 3-1, with Michael Legg recovering a fumble in the end zone and picking off a pass intended for Force. Andrew Chang also recovered a fumble for the Comets. But Crestwood was not
able to consistently stop the Bulldogs, who piled up 469 yards of offense, including seven Curry passes of at least 23 yards. Curry completed 14 of 25 for 337 yards and four touchdowns. When you play against a team like Berwick, youve got to take advantage. We didnt, Crestwood coach Greg Myers said. They are a good football team, especially up front. You just cant afford to give up big plays in the passing game like that. Will Updegrove (three receptions, 87 yards) got open in the seam for a 46-yard score to make it 14-0 in the second quarter. And Alex Klinger returned a Crestwood fumble 25 yards to close out the Bulldogs scoring. In all, six Bulldogs had at least two carries and six others had receptions in the balanced Berwick attack. Meanwhile, the Berwick defense was stout against the young but potent Comets, limiting Crestwood to six rst downs and 98 yards
through three quarters most via a heavy dose of runs out of the wildcat. The Comets did not complete a pass, and fumbled the ball ve times, including three botched snaps in the wildcat formation.

YATESVILLE Pittston Area played the rst half of its season opener with Abington Heights as solid as a rock. What the Patriots didnt know was that it would be a Rock that basically broke Pittston Areas back Sean Rock, that is. Comets running back Sean Rock carried the ball 17 times for 208 yards, added a 76-yard touchdown run and a 30-yard touchdown catch, that sent deja vu back into Charlie Trippi Stadium. Abington Heights nished off the Patriots 28-0 for the second straight year to open the season. Pittston Area coach Mike Barrett, in his third season at the helm, has now seen his team play well in an opener again and lose. The Patriots played another promising game against the defending District 2 Class 3A champions. But the scoreboard is sometimes all that matters. I thought we played well two years in a row, Barrett said. We were a much better football team than a 28-0 score. We matched up with them very well. Our kids have to nd a way when theyre hanging on to push through. The Patriots played with the Comets snap-forsnap in the rst half with only one blunder. That was a 52-yard punt return from Comets slasher Nate Hollander after Pittston Area had already punted once. The Patriots were in an illegal formation, so Abington Heights coach Joe Repshis opted to eld the punt again. But as for the rst half, that was it. And the Patriots had the Comets back into a corner. In fact, Pittston Area outgained Abington Heights 116-92 in the rst half almost half of those yards were on a Rock run. The running game was one of the bigger question marks for the Patriots heading into Fridays contest. But Kyle Gutasso ran for 91 yards on 20 carries, aided by a line that really outplayed the Comets most of the way. Pittston Area started well early. On the third play of the game, Abington Heights wide receiver-turned-quarterback J.C. Show was intercepted by Zack Hoffman, who returned the ball to the Comets 28. But what plagued Pittston Area early and often would soon happen. The Patriots drive was cut off in the red zone with no points on the board. I think we moved the ball well in both halves, Barrett said. There were a lot of positives. Thats what might make this loss hurt a little more. A few big plays and the
inability for the Patriots to nish drives stalled the Patriots offense, and defense. Without the 52-yard punt return touchdown from Hollander, there would have been no score at the half. With a chance to tie the game early in the third quarter, Pittston Area went three-and-out to give the ball right back to the Comets. A sevenplay drive that covered 45 yards ended in a 9-yard bootleg touchdown run from Show. Pittston Area was able to move the ball on their next possession into Comet territory. But once again that was it. The ball went right back to Abington Heights, which milked a ve-minute drive ending with Show tossing a 30-yard touchdown to Rock. At 21-0, Pittston Areas balloon wasnt completely popped. But it was sure losing air. Gattusso got things started with a 40-yard return on the ensuing kickoff. But three plays later, Patriots quarterback James Emmett was sacked on third down, resulting in Pittston Areas fth punt of the night. And just like clockwork, Rock showed why he was the player of the game. Abingtons rst play of the drive resulted in Rocks 76-yard touchdown. I saw the cutback right away, Rock said. The line did a great job of blocking down eld. There was a cavalry of blockers for me. Most of Rocks 208 yards on the evening, however, came after contact. So there might be a little tackling practice going on in Yatesville this week. I think we just didnt tackle very well, Barrett said. We didnt wrap up and thats why he got so many yards after.

NANTICOKE Nanticoke started its season on a great note. Unfortunately for the Trojans, there were still 47 minutes, 19 seconds left in the opening game. A touchdown on its rst play from scrimmage in 2013 couldnt hold up for Nanticoke, and not much went right for the team after that. Lackawanna Trail scored 39 unanswered points to hand the Trojans a 39-7 loss. Pat Hempel got the game started exceptionally well for the Trojans taking a hand-
off from quarterback J.T. Levandowski and rumbled 65 yards on the rst play of the game to put Nanticoke up 7-0 over the Lions, who qualied for the District 2 Class A playoffs last season. We were very concerned because Pat Hempel is a great back, and then he breaks that rst one for a long run, Trail coach Steve Jervis said. But the clock only read 11:41 in the rst quarter. The lead was short-lived. Right after the Lions got the ball back, they scored on their second play of the game when Cooper Rosiak hauled in a 55-yard touchdown pass from Vic Mallory for the rst of
Mallorys three passing touchdowns of the rst half. A twopoint conversion put the Lions ahead 8-7 with 10:44 left in the rst. That was also the rst of four long scoring plays Trail racked up on the night. Another bomb came later in the rst when Mallory hooked up with Jonathon Zedar for a 73-yard strike, giving Trail a 14-7 lead. The Trojans defense also allowed rushing touchdowns of 34 yards to Jared Phillips to start the second half and a 90-yard run by Rosiak in the fourth quarter. It was just one of those nights for Nanticoke. Even when the Trojans got good eld position
taking over on Trails 19 after a bad snap on a punt attempt, they only moved the ball six yards before attempting a eld goal and coming away emptyhanded. We just couldnt put anything together. Wed have two good plays then a bobbled snap. We just werent jelling tonight, Nanticoke coach Ron Bruza said. It wasnt a good night for the Trojans. Hempel, who had 65 yards on his rst run and totaled 82 in the rst half, did so on just three carries. And he didnt get his number called again until late in the third quarter. He picked up another 45 yards the rest of the game to end with a
team-high 127 yards on just 10 carries. I couldnt give him carries (because) we were on defense for two quarters, Bruza said. What are you gonna do? I think we had one offensive possession in the second quarter and then we just couldnt get it going. Coach Jervis offense did a great job controlling the clock and moving the ball.

and Scranton rolled up a 32-7 lead with 4:22 left in the rst half. Thats when momentum began to turn. Thats a heck of a football team, Drumheller said of Scranton. McCarthy is just McCarthy. Hes a very good running back. But weve got some good running backs, too. One of them, Zach Zukoski, returned a rstquarter kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown to pull the Cougars within 12-7. And when the game appeared out of reach, Hazleton Area rallied hard in an attempt to catch up. The Cougars nearly did. Wide receiver Jeff Ochs took a screen pass 34 yards for a touchdown less than two minutes before halftime. And when Scrantons punter had to kneel to eld a low snap, downing the ball at his 33-yard line, the Cougars cashed in when quarterback Julius Ward scrambled a yard for another score as time ran out on the opening half. Hazleton Area wasnt quite nished putting a scare into Scranton. On a 60-yard touchdown drive, Zukoski took a screen pass 13 yards into Scranton territory, then polished it off with a three-yard touchdown run. And when Ward dove across the goal line, the Cougars had 22 unanswered points and were sitting within 32-29. Some display of fortitude. Theres no doubt, Drumheller said. Just the attitude, just the effort. We were down by three, eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter. These seniors and our captains wont let this team quit. They just believed they could get it done.

From page 1B time former Dallas coach Ted Jackson Sr. on the opposing sideline Jackson was making his debut as the Spartans linebackers coach it made for a particularly memorable night. It was emotional, Keating said. It was emotional before the game. The kids knew during the week there was going to be some talk about it. Nobody really had to say anything to him they kind of knew from the tone of practice what it
meant. Im proud of the way that they responded tonight. Dallas nished with just 104 yards of offense and didnt top 100 until the backups were in on both sides in the fourth. It was the rst time Dallas had been shut out in ve years Week 3 of the 2008 season against Tunkhannock. New Mounts starting quarterback Justin Mucha showed his toughness, grinding out a team-best 50 yards on the ground by nishing his runs. Hes a tough runner, Dallas coach Bob Zaruta said. Hes got quickness.
He doesnt have fantastic speed, but hes just a downhill runner for his size. He makes a lot of people miss. Hes going to be a good player for us, no question about it. Valley West got 95 yards and two touchdowns on the ground from Eric Acosta. L.J. Wesneski hauled in a 51-yard score when Baur hit him in stride down the left sideline behind the defense.

THROOP Two times, Mid Valley was on the cusp of grabbing the lead in the fourth quarter. Both times, Hanover Areas defense stood tall and proud. The Hawkeyes forced a fumble on the 1-yard line, and with two minutes left in the game, held off MidValley after the Spartans had a rst-and-10 in the red zone as Hanover Area opened with a gritty 12-7 victory. It wasnt the prettiest of games. Hanover Area head coach Ron Hummer will admit it. And yes, his Hawkeyes sure didnt make it easy on themselves turning the pigskin over two times deep in their own territory in the nal 12 minutes. The defense, though, was enormous. Our defense never gave up, and there was plenty of adversity in this game, Hummer said. Im proud of the kids for ghting. We have some work to do heading into next week. It was a sloppy game, but hey,
we won. The turnovers were terrible, and it really put too much pressure on the defense. The kids stood their ground and they fought, especially on defense. They really showed their pride. Early in the fourth, a fumble gave Mid Valley possession on the Hanover 34. The Spartans, thanks to a 16-yard keeper by quarterback Martin Walsh, drove all the way down to the 3-yard line. Two plays later, the defense forced Joshua Gorton to fumble near the end zone as the Hawkeyes Stephen Morgan hopped on the ball. Even when it looked like a victory was secure, it wasnt. While running out the clock, Hanover put the ball on the turf and Mid Valley alertly jumped on it. Again the defense was up to the task. A big 5-yard tacklefor-loss by Shaun Jones, and a tipped pass by Elido Veras set up a fourth-and-16 from the Hanover 21. The line got pressure on Walsh and forced him out of the pocket and into an errant pass. The rest of the game belonged to Hawkeye senior back Brian Belcher, who ran
for a game-high 117 yards and two scores. We worked our hearts out all summer, he said. I think we had a chip on our shoulders heading into this season, and we never let our heads get down in this game. Belchers 2-yard short burst up the middle gave Hanover a 6-0 lead in the second quarter. Later he scored on a 40-yard shovel pass from Jake Peters after Hummer elected to go for it on a fourth-and-5 from the Mid Valley 40. That was an amazing play, Belcher said. We did it twice in practice, and it was a good play, but I didnt think we would do it in a game. It worked in practice, but it was different in a game. Mid Valley, which was held to less than 100 yards of total offense, scored its lone points on the opening kickoff of the second half when Gorton caught the ball on the 16-yard line and went nearly 84 yards untouched for the score. The Spartans, though, only had four plays go for more than 10 yards and were held to two yards or less on 18 of their 31 rushing plays. Walsh
and Tyler Shay split time at quarterback, completing just 2-of-19 for 31 yards. Our kids never got down, and that was good to see, Mid Valley rst-year head coach Dave Rebar said. I thought we played hard on both sides of the ball. Defensively, I thought we really did play well. We just had to make a few more plays, and we didnt do that.

TUNKHANNOCK Coughlin survived a late surge from Tunkhannock to secure an 18-13 victory on the road Friday in the season opener. I thought we had way too many turnovers and penalties, but we had a lot of kids who hadnt played before, Coughlin coach Ciro Cinti said. Tunkhannock played a fantastic game and they didnt give up. This is a good game for us because its a tough, four-quarter game and well take a win any time. The Crusaders built an 18-0 lead midway through the third quarter before Tunkhannock went to the air. Brett Stage sneaked behind the defense on two straight receptions that amounted to 75 yards and a touchdown to cut the decit to 18-7 with four minutes left in the third quarter. In the rst half, the Tigers spent most of the game throwing short passes and running the ball. They were loading up on us and playing man coverage so we decided to go after them a little bit, Tunkhannock coach Rod Azar said. We made a couple plays that loosened them up some. After forcing a punt, the Tigers drove the ball into the red zone. On fourth down the Crusaders halted the Tunkhannock drive, stopping Shane Edmondson a yard short of the rst down to force a turnover on downs. On the ensuing possession, Tunkhannock forced another three-and-out and started with the ball in Coughlin territory. This time, the resilient Tigers would not be denied as they converted on a thirdand-long and fourth-andshort on the 40-yard touchdown drive. During the drive, Ryan Cywinski eluded defenders and carried them on his back to move the Tigers deep into the red zone. Brian Beauchemin barreled across the goal line to cap off the drive and cut the Coughlin lead to 18-13. I was really proud of the kids in the second half, Azar said.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. The onus for the Notre Dame offense heading into todays game against Temple is to score more. The 14th-ranked Fighting Irish went 12-0 during last seasons regular season and advanced to the national championship game against Alabama largely on the strength of a defense that held opponents to two touchdowns or less in 10 games. Coach Brian Kelly is expecting the offense to share more of that burden. A bigger piece falls on the offense this year than it does the defense, Kelly said. The Irish averaged fewer
than 26 points a game last season, the lowest average of any team playing in a BCS bowl and about half of what Oregon averaged. The Irish were 78th overall in the nation. Despite losing their starting quarterback because he was suspended for the semester by the university, their leading receiver and their top two rushers, Kelly believes the Irish can be more prolic on offense. I dont throw bouquets out unless Ive got a pretty good idea of what I know. Tommy Rees is going to help us score more points than we did last year, and our offensive line and our running backs and our balance at the wide receiver position is going to allow us, Kelly
said. Kelly said hes been impressed with what hes seen from Rees, the 2011 starter who lost his job last season to Everett Golson because he turned the ball over too often with 14 interceptions and ve fumbles, he wasnt mobile enough and Golson had a stronger arm. Hes making good decisions. Hes showing some escapability, Kelly said. But its not just going to be him. We can threaten you over the top. We can push the ball over your head. If you want to drop down on us, weve got some weapons that can beat you one on one, and weve got a quarterback that can see that and throw the ball to you. We struggled with doing
that at times last year. We wont struggle doing that this year. Rees, though, still has to show he can be a deep threat. Even offensive coordinator Chuck Martin, a former defensive coordinator and head coach at Grand Valley State, admitted he doesnt think opponents will respect Rees arm strength. Im a defensive guy. Would I respect Tommys arm strength? Probably not, he said. But Martin said he has condence in Rees, saying his biggest strength is understanding football. Hes well beyond his years as a quarterback of understanding what were trying to do and what defenses are trying to do to take away those things, he

Temple at Notre Dame 3:30 p.m. today, NBC said. Kelly said one of the keys for Notre Dame improving their scoring is to be better inside the opponents 20-yard line, where the Irish scored just 29 touchdowns on 60 chances, adding another 19 eld goals. By comparison, Clemson had the most efcient red-zone offense, scoring 43 touchdowns on 59 chances and adding 13 eld goals. The Irish were 70th in red-zone efciency. We have to score more points, Kelly said.
The nal bit of business from the last game to end on the rst night of the college football season came about 11 hours after Fresno State beat Rutgers 52-51 in overtime. An email from Fresno State notied the media that Derek Carrs stats had changed. Turns out the senior had been credited with one too many completions during his record breaking performance. Instead of 53 for 74 for 470 yards, he actually was 52 for 73 for 456 yards. Finally, the book is closed on the Bulldogs and Scarlet Knights. The game took 4 hours, 26 minutes, and was set to go even longer when Rutgers answered the Bulldogs overtime touchdown with one of its own. Instead of kicking for the tie, Rutgers went for 2 and failed.

Georgia at Clemson 8 p.m. tonight, ABC Theyve stayed friendly through the years. Its great to see how far weve come since then and how exciting our careers have been, Murray says. Make no mistake, Boyd says, both want to come out on top in this one. Always, always, especially when youve got a guy whos so high caliber, Boyd said. You want to be the best quarterback that day. That just comes with the territory. I want to be the best quarterback tonight. The two also found themselves called out by defensive end Jadeveon Clowney as scared to face the South Carolina All-American. Murray and Boyd were depicted in a recent ESPN feature as fearful sleepers lled with nightmares of Clowney. I thought it was kind of funny, Boyd said. They had Aaron with the slick hair. At least my guy had a helmet on.
CLEMSON, S.C. Georgias Aaron Murray and Tajh Boyd of Clemson are poised to put on an aerial display. And if the two record-setting quarterbacks have a good game today when the fth-ranked Bulldogs play the No. 8 Tigers at Death Valley, the winner will likely become an early frontrunner in the Heisman Trophy race. The seniors postponed careers in the NFL for a nal college season. Now they share the spotlight in a nationally televised marquee matchup on college footballs opening weekend. Murray has led Georgia to the past two Southeastern Conference East Division titles. Boyd helped Clemson reach the Atlantic Coast Conference championship in 2011, and 11 wins last year the Tigers highest victory total in 31 years. If you like quarterback play, Georgia coach Mark Richt said. I imagine a lot of people will really enjoy this game.
Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd finished with 3,896 yards and 36 touchdowns last season to win the ACC player of the year.

Except maybe defenders on both sides of the ball. Murray threw for 3,893 yards and 36 touchdowns a year ago. Hes the only SEC player to pass for 3,000 yards his rst three years and, if he does it again this year, will join Hawaiis Timmy Chang and Boise States
Kellen Moore as the only players in NCAA history to accomplish to reach the milestone four straight seasons. Murray was recently voted the SECs rst-team quarterback over Heisman winner Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M by league coaches.
Boyd has excelled at Clemsons high-speed offense the past two seasons. He nished with 3,896 yards and 36 touchdowns last season to win the ACC player of the year. The two were high school stars who went to the Elite 11 passing camp before college.

COLUMBIA, S.C. It wasnt the start South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier expected and the play of AllAmerican Jadeveon Clowney wasnt what many had anticipated. About the only person not too concerned was Clowney. The 6-foot-6, 274-pound defensive lineman was credited with three tackles and four quarterback hurries in the Gamecocks pedestrian-like 27-10 victory over North Carolina on Thursday night. Spurrier was clearly bothered that Clowney and others on defense looked winded at times against the Tar Heels high-speed offense. Clowney and the Gamecocks did manage to hold North Carolina to 293 yards and the fewest points scored by the Tar Heels under coach Larry Fedora. Clowney, a Heisman Trophy candidate, vowed things would get better the way they had last season when he nished with 13 sacks to earn Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year. He was the least concerned at missing the chance to put on show in the season opener. Dont matter, Clowney said. We got the win. Did you see the score? Clowney acknowledged he was bothered by a stomach virus during the week
and only ate a banana, a few grapes and uids before the game. He and his teammates struggled in the heavy heat and 100 percent humidity the game was suspended nearly two hours because of severe weather and defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said he talked with Clowney about making sure he gave himself the best chance to play consistently well each game.

I told him he might have to watch what hes eating if his energys down, Ward said. We have to make sure we can play more than three, four, ve plays at a time. It wasnt all a case of conditioning. North Carolinas high-tempo attack Ward called it the fastest offense hed seen played away from Clowneys side of the ball. The Tar Heels used
ATLANTA No matter how much Nick Saban protests, its always the rst thing that comes up with Alabama. Three-peat. No team has ever won three straight national titles. The top-ranked Crimson Tide sure looks poised to make a run at it, led by one of the nations top quarterbacks (AJ McCarron) and a host of talented returnees from the team that wiped out Notre Dame in last seasons BCS championship game for its second straight crown
and third in four years. The Tide will get started on trying to win another today, taking on rebuilding Virginia Tech at the Georgia Dome. Alabamas really done something special, Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. I never thought there would be a team that was as dominating for as many years as they have. I never thought that would happen again in college football. I just thought the limitations in scholarships, the things were so much more equal. Theyve done a tremendous job. It all starts with Saban, who
refuses to let his team get complacent. He barely even celebrated after the 42-14 rout of the Fighting Irish, getting right back to work on trying to win another title. Just dont ask him to look at the big picture. For Saban, the day-to-day grind is at the heart of any successful program, which means hes solely focused on beating the Hokies. This is an opportunity for our team to sort of develop an identity for this team for this season, to see if individually and collectively we can play winning football, Saban said, not a hint of joy in his voice.
Or are we going to have a bunch of blinking lights out there, where were making a bunch of mistakes? Not much chance of the latter happening. Not with McCarron, a thirdyear starter who knows nothing but success, guiding the offense. Not with all the offensive weapons he has at his disposal, including running back T.J. Yeldon and receiver Amari Cooper. Not with a defense led by linebacker C.J. Mosley and safety HaHa Clinton-Dix. Theyve done a tremendous job in their recruiting, and then they coach them,

PHILADELPHIA Still living out of a suitcase in a hotel, Sam Hinkie has yet to really settle in Philadelphia. But in four months, hes already become quite comfortable running the 76ers. Hinkie has already made sweeping changes in his short tenure as Philadelphias president and general manager, hiring coach Brett Brown, trading All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday, hoarding future draft picks, and making moves for low-cost, low-risk players who could blossom in the right system. Hes done it all with the simple mission of turning the Sixers into winners. Just not this season. In the NBA, fans like to call down seasons tanking, though the Sixers prefer to call the 2013-14 season simply the rst step in a rebuilding process toward the franchises rst championship since 1983. Whatever its called, the Sixers are set to steel themselves for the losses ahead as long as it means brighter seasons down the road. Hinkie and Brown wont necessarily be judged on wins and losses, but on player development and learning which players might be worth keeping around past this this lottery-bound season. Take a look at the roster. Tim Ohlbrecht. Tony Wroten. James Anderson. Not exactly James-WadeBosh, is it? I think sometimes its about just nding the measuring stick thats different than the one the world puts on you, Hinkie said this week. Its nding the

Jordan Zimmermann (158) as the Mets won for only the third time in nine games. The Nationals, trying to work their way into the NL pennant race, lost for just the second time in 10. Washington began the day 6 games behind the Cincinnati Reds for the second wild-card spot. Gees ERA had been just under 2.00 in his previous eight starts, and the Nationals rarely threatened him. He faced three batters above the minimum through seven innings. The only scoreboard damage came on Wilson Ramos homer to lead off the third and pinch-hitter Steve Lombardozzis two-out solo shot in the eighth.

PITTSBURGH Slumping Garrett Jones hit his 100th career homer and drove in four runs as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis and moved into a tie with the Cardinals for the NL Central lead. Jones had three hits and Russell Martin added his 12th homer of the season. Jose Tabata and Neil Walker got two hits as the Pirates moved within four victories of their first winning season in 21 years. Francisco Liriano (157) allowed just two hits over eight innings, walk-
ing two and striking out six to reach the 15-win plateau for the first time. Jones came in hitting just .119 in August but broke out against St. Louis starter Shelby Miller (12-9). Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle gave Jones some time off to figure things out earlier this week. For a night, the tinkering worked. Jones hit a two-run double in the first inning to give Pittsburgh the lead, added a moon shot to the seats in right field off Miller in the fourth and followed it up with an RBI single in the fifth. That was plenty for Liriano. The left-hander is in the midst of a midcareer revival with the Pirates and he had little trouble improving to 4-0 against the Cardinals. Liriano pitched a complete game in a 5-1 win at St. Louis two weeks ago and was even more dominant in front of a packed PNC Park that is still getting used to being in the thick of a pennant race. The Cardinals managed only one runner in the last six innings, and no one got past second base in the entire game. Behind Liriano and Jones, Pittsburgh righted itself following a bumpy three-game set against Milwaukee earlier in the week.

The Associated press NEW YORK Ichiro Su zuki hit a two-run homer and Robinson Cano singled in two runs during a fiverun fifth inning, and the New York Yankees picked up an ineffective CC Sabathia to beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-5 Friday night. Alfonso Soriano connected for a two-run shot in the fourth off Miguel Gonzalez (8-7), and Alex Rodriguez had an RBI single in the seventh inning of a late August game that felt more like postseason October. In a playoff-race twist, Mark Reynolds had three hits, including an RBI double when the Yankees batted around in the fifth. Last year he helped Baltimore reach its first postseason since 1997 with seven homers and 11 RBIs in seven games against New York beginning on
TORONTO Mark Buehrle pitched seven shutout innings to win his sixth straight decision and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Kansas City, ending the Royals winning streak at five games. Adam Lind drove in two runs for the Blue Jays, who have won 10 of 14 meetings with Kansas City dating to 2011. The Royals, who came in six games behind Oakland for the second AL wild-card berth, lost for the first time since Aug. 24 against Washington, the final defeat in a seven-game skid. Buehrle (117) allowed four hits, walked one and struck out five to match his longest winning streak since 2005, when he won a career-best nine consecutive decisions. The left-hander is 6-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his
past eight outings. Hes gone 8-2 with a 2.72 ERA in 14 home starts this season.

OAKLAND, Calif. Tampa Bay starter David Price is certainly regretting his choice to take a taxi to the Oakland Coliseum on Friday. With the Bay Bridge closed all weekend, the alternate route ran him a whopping $202 and he posted live updates of his frustrating adventure on Twitter during the long journey. Hour ride from our hotel in San Fran to Oakland coliseum since the bay bridge is closednice timing!! Expensive ride Price said, then added, ha $202 dollar ride today. On the day he was scheduled to pitch against the As, too. Manager Joe Maddon took the team bus, leaving at 2 p.m. and arriving at the ballpark at 3:45. But Maddon had bargained on a one-hour trip and left his headphones behind. While he had a fully charged cellphone and iPad, he opted to use the time planning a crosscountry offseason RV trip. The Rays headed south on Highway 101, then crossed the San Mateo Bridge instead, with a short trip up 880 North after that. With it being Friday, it took even longer. Then we went to Salinas, headed over toward Hollister and came back up somewhere, joked Maddon. It was pretty severe. People complain about
Southern California, but at least theres more freeway options down there. Theres very few freeway options here. The Rays were prepared for the trafc jams yet still opted to stay in San Francisco with a three-game weekend series in Oakland. We denitely knew, Maddon said. Listen, I had no problem with it. I kind of enjoyed it. It was very nostalgic. Yet Maddon wished he had planned a little bit better and brought his headphones along for the ride. I had Anchorman loaded up for the trip and I should have done it, Maddon said. I was counting on an hour, so I actually could have watched an entire movie had I been smart enough. Maddon says he will ride BART public transit before Saturday nights game with the Athletics. Prices plan? He said on Twitter: Dont worry I have a helicopter rented for tomorrow!! Ill get to the eld in an estimated time of 8 minutes 24 seconds. Suspended Cruz back in Texas ARLINGTON, Texas Suspended slugger Nelson Cruz hit several batting practice pitches over the left-eld fence in the general direction of the temperature sign showing an even 100 degrees. The Texas Rangers right elder is headed to the Arizona instructional league with the idea of being ready if his
AL West-leading team is in the playoffs when his 50-game suspension ends on the nal day of the regular season. Cruz wants to play in the postseason, and said so Friday in his rst public appearance since he was among 13 players banned by Major League Baseball over their connection to Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic in Florida accused of distributing banned performing-enhancing drugs. Its been a really rough few weeks, Cruz told reporters in a brief appearance without taking questions. But I have good friends and good family. Theyre behind me. Cruz took batting practice and caught up with manager Ron Washington and some of his teammates. He returned to Texas this week while the Rangers were nishing a road trip in Seattle. He had gone home to the Dominican Republic soon after he was suspended Aug. 5. Wearing a red workout shirt in the Rangers interview room, Cruz apologized to the organization and its fans for the mistake that I make. He spoke evenly and repeated most of what he said for Spanish-speaking media. Washington said Cruz looked troubled nearly four weeks ago when he was waiting for word of the suspension to come down. Not anymore. Spirits high, Washington said. He dont look troubled now.

NEW YORK Novak Djokovic faced two set points early in his second-round match at the U.S. Open. He saved them, won the set, then needed less than an hour to close out a victory. The 2011 champion beat 87th-ranked Benjamin Becker of Germany 7-6 (2), 6-2, 6-2 on Friday. Becker had a chance to serve for the rst set at 5-4. But he wasted the rst with a forehand into the net and the second when a backhand sailed wide. Becker is a quality opponent and he should have won the rst set, Djokovic said in an on-court interview. I was fortunate enough to come back and win the rst set, and after that, I was much more comfortable on the court. The wind was swirling at Arthur Ashe Stadium, as it often does during the day to players frustration. You need to have this adjustment, footwork, steps, in order to get on the ball, Djokovic said. I didnt have that in the rst set. I was still trying to nd my way from baseline, and the other side he was serving well. I had my chances, though, rst set earlier to break, but didnt capitalize. After I played a good tiebreak, everything kind of settled. I started to serve better, started to step into the court, which is important. I need to start the way I started in the rst match, but my game is getting there. I feel that it was a big test for me today. Another Grand Slam winner, Li Na, also showed some championship form earlier on Ashe.
This time, her opponent, Laura Robson, looked very much like a teenager. The fth-seeded Li avenged her third-round upset loss to the young Brit at last years U.S. Open, winning in straight sets at the same stage at Flushing Meadows. Li, the 2011 French Open champ, rallied from down a break in the second set for a 6-2, 7-5 victory. Li was nervous after she noticed that her draw was a repeat from last year. A pep talk from coach Carlos Rodriguez eased her anxiety. After the talk I was feeling much, much better, she said. Because before I never try to share the feeling with the team. Australian Open seminalist Sloane Stephens, seeded 15th, beat fellow American Jamie Hampton 6-1, 6-3. Hampton, at No. 23, was seeded at a Grand Slam tournament for the rst time in her career. Stephens next opponent could be defending champ Serena Williams, who faces Yaroslava Shvedova in the nightcap at Ashe. It would be a rematch of their Australian Open quarternal, won by the young American. Third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska and No. 9-seed-

ed Jelena Jankovic each pulled out tough straight-set victories. Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki, seeded 16th, wont be making a run at Flushing Meadows after she was eliminated in straight sets by Ekaterina Makarova. The 24th-seeded Russian won 6-4, 7-5. A year ago, Robsons upset of Li was the biggest victory of her breakthrough run. Meanwhile, it was the third straight frustrating U.S. Open loss for the Chinese
star. Robson was ranked 89th coming into last years tournament. She had never advanced past the second round at a Grand Slam event or defeated a top-10 opponent. That all changed when she upset major champions Kim Clijsters and Li back-to-back to make the fourth round. Now 19, Robson was seeded 30th at Flushing Meadows and coming off a fourthround run at Wimbledon.

Mickelsons star power NASCAR drivers left shines brightest at Boston scrambling for rides
The Associated Press NORTON, Mass. Phil Mickelson keeps saying how much he loves playing with Tiger Woods. He shot 63 at the Deutsche Bank Championship to prove it. In a feature grouping of the top three players in the world ranking, Mickelson turned in the star performance Friday morning with a 28 that allowed him to consider but only briey another shot at 59. By the end of the day, when he played a risky shot from deep in the trees on his nal hole to salvage bogey, he was happy to have a share of the lead. Mickelson was tied with Brian Davis, who made a 25-foot birdie putt on the last hole to join him at 8-under 63. What Phil did today was pretty impressive, Woods said after a 68 that only seemed worse considering the company he kept. Masters champion Adam Scott, rounding out the 1-2-3 pairing, struggled to a 73 and joked later that he rolled out of the wrong side of the bed. I wish could have gotten in their jet stream, Scott said. Mickelson did everything right. He started his round on the TPC Boston by making birdie putts of 20 feet on No. 10 and 30 feet on No. 11. He ended the front nine with ve straight birdies, only the second nine-hole score of 28 on the PGA Tour this year. And even after a bogey from the bunker on No. 1, he hit a 6-iron from 213 yards that settled just more than a foot away for eagle on the next hole. That put him Mediate leads Champions Tour event at 8 under for his round with seven holes to play. CALGARY, Alberta Rocco He tried. Mickelson ended his Mediate eagled two of the nal four brilliant round with two words: Oh, no. He hit a snap-hook off the ninth tee, so far right that it missed the fairway by some 40 yards and went so deep in the woods that fans could barely see Mickelson ducking and weaving through the branches to nd his ball. He decided against a one-shot penalty drop out of the lateral hazard, fearing the slope would roll the ball too close to the branches and restrict his swing. Just give me an 8- or a 9-iron, he told his caddie, Jim Bones Mackay. He was ready to hack away when his caddie reminded him the gallery was still in the way. Choking well up the grip, attening the swing to avoid limbs, Mickelson chopped it out to the rough and still had 210 yards left. He knocked that one on the green and two-putted for his bogey and a 63. It was at the Deutsche Bank Championship in 2007 when Mickelson rst got over the mental hurdle of playing with Woods, his longtime nemesis. He said swing coach Butch Harmon, who formerly worked with Woods, gave him a few tips about playing with the worlds No. 1 player that relaxed Mickelson. In the 15 rounds they have played together since, Mickelson has a 9-5-1 advantage in posting the lower score. Mickelson had said Woods brings out the best in me on Thursday after his pro-am round. When asked about that again after his 63, Lefty smiled and said, After today, its hard to think any differently.

holes to take the rst-round lead in the Champions Tours inaugural Shaw Charity Classic. The 50-year-old Mediate, the Allianz Championship winner in February in his rst Champions Tour start, had an 8-under 63 at tree-lined Canyon Meadows. He played the nal ve holes in 6 under, making eagles on the par-5 15th and 18th and birdieing the par-3 14th and par-4 17th. Bart Bryant, Jeff Sluman, Bobby Clampett and Canadas Rod Spittle were a stroke back. Fred Couples opened with a 69. The tournament is the 50-andover tours third event in Calgary. Don January won the 1983 Peter Jackson Champions at Earl Grey, and Brian Barnes won the 1998 AT&T Canada Senior Open at Glencoe.
HAMPTON, Ga. When the music stops, everyone hopes to have a seat. A seat behind the wheel of a stock car, that is. NASCAR is going through its own version of musical chairs at the moment, with several bigname drivers moving to new rides or scrambling to land a spot in the 2014 Sprint Cup eld. This week, former Cup champion Kurt Busch completed his move to Stewart-Haas Racing for next season. Another big piece of the puzzle was nalized Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where 21-year-old Kyle Larson was announced as the next driver of the No. 42 car at Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. Those moves left Ryan Newman and Juan Pablo Montoya on the outside looking in, at least for the moment. I nd it interesting, just like everybody else does, said Dale Earnhardt Jr., who doesnt have to worry about his status at Hendrick Motorsports. Im anxious to nd out where certain drivers end up, what kind of competition theres going to be next year. It denitely changes the playing eld when guys start moving
HAMPTON, Ga. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has won the first Sprint Cup pole of his career at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Stenhouse turned a lap of 189.688 mph Friday night on the 1.54 tri-oval. His previous best qualifying run was third at Kansas this season. Carl Edwards, a teammate of Stenhouse at Roush Fenway Racing, was second-fastest at 189.021, giving him a starting spot on the outside of the front row for Sunday nights race. Juan Pablo Montoya (188.539) and Denny Hamlin (188.533) will start on the second row. The rest of the top 10 is Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Martin Truex Jr., Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson. around and youre trying to keep an eye on the competition. The situation is especially complex for Newman, who is trying to get Stewart-Haas No. 39 car in the 10-race playoff at the end of the season, while also weighing his options for next year. I would say its more of a challenge because you have to compartmentalize, stay focused at different times on different subjects, said Newman, who is 15th in the points going into Sunday nights race at Atlanta the next-to-last event before the Chase. It takes away from the relaxing time in your mind, which is just as important as being focused on what you need to at any given time, be it 2013 or 2014. Chip Ganassi raised plenty of eyebrows when he decided to put Larson in the Target-sponsored car next season, even though hes a rookie in the secondtier Nationwide series and has never competed in a Cup race. Montoya will nish out his eighth year in the car, a tenure that has produced only two wins in 241 races and nally prompted Ganassi to make a change. The car owner is convinced that Larson is the right man for the job, despite his lack of experience. We believe Kyle is the future of the sport, Ganassi said. He is a unique talent. Larson, who is of Japanese descent, came up through NASCARs diversity program and has a sprint car background that Ganassi thinks will suit him well in the Cup series, where the cars are bigger and more powerful than those in Nationwide. Im sure there will be growing pains, but I think hes ready, Ganassi said. Some of those growing pains will come whenever his rst year in the series is. But I think this is a good opportunity. My expectations and advice to him are keep the car on the track and run laps.

Zurich Insurance Group is to investigate whether its chief nancial ofcer was put under undue pressure before his apparent suicide after the company conrmed a note left by him described his working relationship with former chairman Josef Ackermann. The Swiss-based global insurance company suffered a chaotic and distressing week after Pierre Wauthier was found dead on Monday and Ackermann abruptly resigned on Thursday saying he believed accusations leveled against him by the CFOs family could hurt the companys reputation. New acting chairman Tom de Swaan said Friday the companys board will probe the relationship between Ackermann and Wauthier, who Swiss police say appeared to have taken his own life.
WASHINGTON U.S. consumers barely increased their spending in July as their income grew more slowly, held back in part by steep government spending cuts that reduced federal workers salaries. The tepid gains suggest economic growth is off to a weak start in the JulySeptember quarter. The Commerce Department said Friday that consumer spending rose only 0.1 percent in July from the previous month. Thats slower than Junes 0.6 percent increase. Consumers cut their spending on longlasting manufactured goods, such as cars and appliances. Spending on services was unchanged.

Gold is having a summer revival. The price of gold touched $1,420 an ounce this week, a three-and-a-half month high, as escalating tensions in the Middle East, volatile currency markets and renewed demand for jewelry in China and India pushed prices higher. Gold has surged 15 percent since sinking to $1,212 an ounce, its lowest level in almost three years, on June 27. A gain of 20 percent or more would put the metal back in a bull

market. Golds resurgence follows a rough ride this year. Gold slumped 4.8 percent in the first three months of 2013 as the outlook for the economy improved while inflation remained subdued. For many years prior to that, large investors, such as hedge funds, bought the metal as a way to protect their investments against rising prices and a slumping dollar. They feared that the Federal Reserves stimulus program could cause prices to rise. But inflation remained subdued and

that reduced the need to buy gold. Also, signs in January that the dollar was strengthening diminished the appeal of owning gold. Then in April, the bottom fell out. A proposal that Cyprus sell some of its gold reserves to support its banks rattled traders, prompting concern that Spain, Italy and other weak European economies might also sell and flood the market. Gold plunged by $140 an ounce, or nine percent, on April 15 as investors unloaded their holdings. That was the biggest one6-MO T-BILLS .05%
day decline in more than 30 years. While the price of gold is still down 17 percent this year, the metal is on the rise. One of the reasons people buy gold is that it offers an alternative to more traditional financial assets, says Mike McGlone, director of research at ETF Securities, a provider of commodity-based exchangetraded funds. When financial markets get jittery, investors often buy gold because it is considered one of the safest assets that can easily be converted to cash.

THE TIMES LEADER

hide if you wish, but all your stuff will always find you
PIECE BY PIECE, my mother empties her house. And piece by piece, she lls mine. Just kidding. Sort of. (I can hear her protesting denying as I type.) Yet I do not fabricate, not entirely anyway. Its true Ive had multiple special deliveries in the past year or so, many of which have caused me to look askance. But the woman is good, in some cases, very good. Consider: She once dropped off one of those portable, musical baby mobiles dont know what else to call it, but its basically a cutesy oor pad with an SANDRA overhead arch attached from which hang singing, dancing, SNyDER ashing sorts of toys designed Wall to Wall to delight a wee one for hours. I dont even have a wee one. But I do have a wee godson, who does visit, so my wise mother knew Id have a hard time turning this down, especially when she expressly told me, Oh, he likes these things. He used it with me, and he laughed (See what I mean by good?) Then why not keep it at Moms house? Ah, because hell get more use out of it at my place, see. Translation: Its kind of big, Im cutting back, and, oh, he will just love this. So of course I took it. Because of the timing of the visits, however, and what else we were doing dont we all know how to a baby everything is a toy? I think the wee one has used this happy machine all of once. Now hes too big for it, and still I must nd a place for it. Score one for Mom, who has since managed to vanquish me again and again with the stuff. Her most recent delivery? Why, a cookie press. If youve ever been to a Pampered Chef party, you know the tool. When this domestic torture device arrived in my living room, I wailed: No way, no how, I must confess; I do not want this cookie press. (Sam/Sandy I am.) The good woman chuckled but held her ground with a true statement: But its yours. She had a point. Once upon a time I was, evidently, the kind of woman who thought a cookie press might prove handy. Either that or I had too much of the wine served at that Pampered Chef party. I did once press cookies with this contraption, though, and that was enough of that. Then I packed the thing up for Mom, who was more receptive to castoffs back in the day, and told her shed nd great reward in this task for which I clearly was not meant. What goes around comes around, doesnt it? In this case, easily a decade later, when you get an almost brand-new cookie press back in your possession. For kicks, I at least took it, with its 40 moving parts, out of the box, to marvel, mostly at the out-of-mind state that must have caused me to buy it. (I make a mean basic chocolate-chip cookie, but you wont catch me using even a cookie baller, so why?) Out to the garage it went, but what I saw there made me quickly reconsider: too many items I neither want nor use and in some cases do not even own. Word to the wise: NEVER have a multi-family garage sale at your house unless you carefully monitor to make sure everything that comes in with someone else also goes out with the same someone else. Exhibit A: I have had, for years, a relatives electronic, therapeutic massage pad designed for folks with back pain, which does not afflict me. It sits right beside Exhibit B, a leaf blower with a torn bag, and Exhibit C, a portable grillcooler combo for which I can blame myself. Foolishly picked it up at someone elses garage sale and never even opened it. Salvation Army? Been there, more times than I can count. But sometimes those trips only increase the shame of waste. When you do a blind drop-off, you never really know if something on which you spent hard-earned money will get any use. Personally choosing the next owner of your stuff, however, brings an odd, freeing sense of absolution. That must be Moms game. Again, she will staunchly deny; shell tell you shes just giving the kids all their stuff back, which will be mostly true. But the former is my story, and Im sticking to it anyway. I have but one more thing to say: You need a cookie press, dont you? Free to a good home; inquire within.

Washing clothes in the bedroom. Sending email from the laundry room. Busy Americans are demanding more from each room in the house, and spaces designed for multiple functions are popping up all over oor plans, design blogs and magazine spreads. People multitask all the time. There is a denite correlation and carry-over in the home, said Wendy Danziger, owner of Danziger Design in Bethesda, Md. She has helped clients create rooms for eating and watching television, housing guests and working from home, sleeping and doing laundry. Some homebuilders have added space for seating, desks and charging stations in the laundry room. Its happening all over, Danziger said. Theres a lot of strategy that goes on a lot of compromise. Furniture manufacturers, too, are helping to make every square inch count, said Pat Bowling, spokeswoman for the American Home Furnishings Alliance in High Point, N.C. Modern pieces include end tables that double as le cabinets, coffee tables with adjustable heights to accommodate working at a computer or eating, and chests with docking stations for electronics. The portability of laptops, tablets and other devices means you dont need a dedicated home ofce to work at home. People can and do use electronics in the family room, bedroom and kitchen. Todays furniture is multitasking furniture that can help you stay organized, stay connected and keep clutter at bay, said Kim Shaver of Hooker Furniture in Martinsville, Va. In versatile styles and silhouettes, these pieces t any room from the kitchen to the bedroom and from the family room to the entry hall or foyer and provide multiple functions in each room. Danziger says a console table with hinged leaves is a good option for a TV room that sometimes needs to become a dining room: When guests come for dinner, just slide the table away from the wall under the television and extend the leaves to create a table that seats up to six people. Nesting tables stacking tables of different sizes also help increase the functionality of a space, she said. She often puts them on wheels so they can easily be rolled to another area of the

Back to school isnt just a busy time for kids. Parents also can feel the crunch of having too much to do in too little time. If youre feeling overwhelmed, a professional organizer may be just what you need to get back on track and into your post-summer routine. Paying for the services of an organizer can undo the mess your kids may have caused while home on summer vacation and, in the process, get them prepared to properly take on the new school year. In the summer, everything goes, said Krystal Cooper, owner of We Organize! In Kansas City, Mo. You need to get ready to pack lunches again, get the kids ready for soccer and football practice and get back to that routine.
Professional home organizers work closely with customers to determine what areas of a home can benet the most from being reviewed and organized, whether its a kitchen, bedroom or garage. They can also advise you about what to do with all those school supplies, homework and books so they dont get lost or misplaced. Organizing saves you a lot of time looking for things, Cooper said. You wont spend 15 minutes each day looking for your keys. Its also more comfortable for the children. Everything goes smoother when everything has a place. In regards to school supplies, experts recommend: Going through backpacks, pencil boxes, cabinets, closets and drawers before shopping for new supplies. Not holding on to too many old papers and projects from previous
school years, which can make staying organized difcult. Giving each kid a bin, so their work doesnt get mixed up. Ruth Phillips, owner of Household Organizer in Alpharetta, Ga., said some parents prefer to call an organizer after their children start school. The reason? The house is nally empty and you can get someone to come over, she said. One area of a home where many items end up out of place is the kitchen. Kitchen cupboards tend to get unorganized when children and their friends are home all summer digging for snacks. An organizer will show ways to maximize space, throw away older items and will even rearrange your refrigerator. Its where the heart is, Cooper said of the kitchen. People spend a lot of time there, so they tend to get pretty messy after a while. Childrens bedrooms especially
their closets can also be a magnet for messiness. In a bedroom, for example, an organizer could recommend using storage containers under the bed or placing a hamper next to where that pile of dirty clothes tends to form. Phillips said its important to start in one room and work slowly 2 feet by 2 feet, she said, adding that its a good idea to start in the youngest childs room rst so it will already be organized when you start bringing the older childrens hand-me-downs into it. I tell them to only leave out everything that is in-season, Phillips said. Put the stuff that is out of season in the basement. Garages also can get messy after a long summer because more items see more use in the summer. Also, Cooper said, garages often serve as See SCHOOl | 2C

MEREDITH BLAKE
When The Newsroom premiered on HBO in June 2012, its opening credits, in which black and white images of Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow and David Brinkley oated across the screen to soaring theme music, signaled the high-minded ambitions of its creator, Aaron Sorkin. And if the nostalgic montage wasnt already a dead giveaway, the events of the pilot drove home Sorkins purpose: After going on an inammatory tirade about the dumbingdown of America, anchorman Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) returns to work at the ctional Atlantis Cable News. Urged by his executive producer (and former ame) MacKenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer), he reboots News Night, with the mission of speaking truth to stupid and moving beyond the partisan bickering of cable news in the post-9/11 era. But if the Oscarwinning screenwriter of The Social Network had set lofty goals for his return to series television ve years after the highprole failure of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, he was soon brought back down to Earth. While The Newsroom earned a solid if not spectacular average of about 2.2 million viewers a week, reviews were brutal. So naive its cynical, declared the New Yorker. Almost insufferably ear-
nest and sanctimonious and self-attering and smug and shrill and condescending, ruled the Montreal Gazette. Last month, The Newsroom returned for a second season with an understated new opening sequence that was part of a larger creative overhaul. The venerable newsmen of yesteryear were gone, replaced by beautifully lighted close-ups of anonymous hands scrolling through BlackBerries and ddling with buttons in the control room. Instead of lamenting a bygone era of Important Journalism, The Newsroom was romanticizing the quotidian hustle and bustle of todays news business. In a reversal of fortune for the auteur behind the acclaimed Sports Night and The West Wing, the news media had piled on Season 1 with a zeal typically reserved for philandering politicians or misbehaving starlets. Hate-watching became a Sunday night ritual for members of the Fourth Estate, who slammed the show as sexist, preachy and out of touch and saw Daniels character, supposedly a disenchanted Republican, as a sock puppet for Sorkins liberal viewpoint. Though The Newsroom intends to lecture its viewers on the higher virtues of capitalJ journalism, Professor Sorkin soon reveals he isnt much of an expert on the subject, wrote Jake Tapper, then the senior White House correspon-
dent for ABC News (now at CNN), in a scathing critique for the New Republic. It didnt help that Sorkin, on occasion, seemed dismissive of the very profession he was trying to portray. For instance, he chided a female reporter from Torontos Globe and Mail, Listen here, Internet girl. It wouldnt kill you to watch a lm or pick up a newspaper once in a while. The series also invited unfavorable comparisons to the many classic lms and television shows about journalism it implicitly referenced: Broadcast News, His Girl Friday, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant, Murphy Brown, Network. Newsroom hate was not monolithic among journalists, however. Dan Rather, whose image appeared in the opening credits of Season 1, wrote gushing recaps for Gawker. The Newsroom is important television, the closest weve had to must-see TV in recent years, he said. For the shows sophomore outing, Sorkin enlisted 13 paid consultants, including former MSNBC and CNN President Rick Kaplan, political strategist Mark McKinnon, New Republic literary editor Leon Wieseltier, conservative pundit S.E. Cupp and MSNBC host Alex Wagner. With their input, he made some storytelling tweaks. While The
Newsroom still revolves around actual events from the recent past, like the 2012 Republican primary and the Occupy Wall Street movement a device that, according to some, robs the show of suspense and allows Sorkin the benet of hindsight it now also includes a seasonlong story arc about the botched investigation of a ctional covert mission known as Operation Genoa. Whether Sorkin, who declined to speak for this article, was intentionally trying to win over the press or not, reviews for the second season have improved. The Newsroom remains appointment viewing among portions of the chattering classes, even if disagreement about its merits persists. John Miller, senior correspondent for CBS News, calls The Newsroom his favorite show and suggests his fellow reporters are being overly pedantic. Media people are the quickest to criticize, the rst ones to call something in a negative way, and the most thin-skinned when it comes to examination by anyone else. This is probably really good for them, he says, noting that, as a former law enforcement ofcial, hes used to suspending disbelief by a measure of at least 50 percent when it comes to depictions of his profession. Shushannah Walshe, a digital political reporter at ABC News and a con-
sultant this season on The Newsroom, notes the dissonance between the largely positive reactions on her Facebook feed (comprising mostly friends and family) and the snarkier sentiments voiced on Twitter (mostly other journalists). While she readily admits the show has its implausible moments, Walshe doesnt view this occasional lack of realism as a bad thing. Truthfully, I think the show is aspirational, she says. One perceived aw of Season 1 was an over-reliance on coincidence a tendency that some say undermined the potential for drama.

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
room for it in your parents kitchen, and meals are shared in the dining room, thats the logical place for it. I cant see why the water cooler would embarrass you. Most peoples homes dont resemble the layouts you see in magazines. They are an ideal folks aim for until reality compels them to organize their living space in a way that conforms to their needs and budgets, rather than their desires. Dear Abby: I have been dating my boyfriend for three years. We get along well, but he has the most an-
noying habit of gnawing his fingernails. It is constant, and he hardly has any left. I find it repulsive and embarrassing when were out in public. I have asked him repeatedly to stop. He says he has done it all his life and I should stop nagging. I know most people have habits, and this is more of an addiction. What can I say to make him stop? Biting Off Too Much in S. Carolina Dear Biting: Nail-biting is typically related to stress and anxiety. There are ways to stop, and he should talk about it with his doctor. Beyond suggesting that he make an appointment, nothing you can say will make your boyfriend change his behavior. Because you find the habit repulsive and embarrassing, the question its time
to ask yourself is whether its a dealbreaker, and no one can answer that but you. Dear Abby: I am 20 years old and have been in a relationship since I was 15. I never had a childhood. At 14 I became an adult and never got to experience any teenage freedom. I realize now that Im not ready to settle down with anyone, but I know he is. I am unhappy, but Im afraid of hurting him. I am the type of person who would hurt myself before I hurt anyone else. Im ready to experience life as a separate individual. He always said this would happen, but I denied it. Now I realize he was right. I dont know how to start the conversation. Not Ready to Settle Down
Dear Not Ready: You are the type of person who would hurt yourself before you hurt anyone else? While that is altruistic to the max, it is a dangerous way to live your life. In a case like this, better HE should cry for a short time than YOU should cry for the next decade or so. A way to start the conversation would be to say: We need to talk, and I need to be honest with you. You were right when you said this wouldnt last and I was immature and inexperienced when I said you were wrong.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youll generously volunteer your support to victims of inner turmoil. How do you spot them? Easily. Its apparent in the disarray surrounding them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Nothing you do in relationships is a waste of time if you are paying attention. However the relationship develops (or doesnt), you are learning and growing wiser with each interaction. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People tend to fight the hardest about trivial things and will spend a great deal of time on matters of little or no consequence. This quirk of human nature will be well represented in todays focus. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Theres no point in torturing yourself with thoughts about your past mistakes. Let them go all of them. Every living person on the planet is a work in progress. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll start a conversation, keep it going strong until its natural conclusion and leave a positive impression. This is no small task considering how many people around you are having communication problems lately. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). One thing that keeps you strong is that you regularly lift whats heavy. This is true figuratively, too. In the middle of the act, you may wonder why you took on such a heavy load. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your mission to spread joy will go very well today. And if you didnt realize that was the mission you were on, youll see it in the smiling eyes of your many fans. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Maybe the losses of the past werent really losses at all. Maybe they were what you had to let go of to embrace the current you. A change in your historical perspective will change everything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A mess is really just a pile of potential building material for your next project. Whether the resources are physical or psychic, youll spend most of the day organizing them well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Instead of pondering your last incarnation or dreaming about who youll be in the future, give your full attention and care to the magnificent being staring back at you in the mirror. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you want to prove a point, youll find the evidence you need to prove it whether or not the point is correct. Before you go to any trouble, make sure your stance is worth getting behind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relationships cannot mature unless the people in them do. Since you cant mature for your partner, just know that any work you do to become more loving or to increase your understanding of the world will help things. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 31). September brings an opportunity to favorably alter your domestic scene. Family bonding through shared activities makes the year a joy. October brings a serious study. Later, youll have the documents and the pay stubs to prove you learned this well. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 3, 5, 23 and 28.

In more than 40 years on Long Beach Island, Id never seen anything like it.
but when I headed back to the Jersey Shore a couple of weeks ago, I still wasnt sure what I would nd. Happily the islands character remained largely intact. Barnegat Lighthouse still stood tall. The Holiday Snack Bar still served hamburgers and lemon meringue pie. Dune reclamation work made the uphill walk to the beach steeper, but the sand that stretched beyond was as beautiful as ever. The recovery efforts were heartening. The community had banded together with admirable resolve to cart away the debris, sweep the streets clean and spruce up the island in time for the arrival of us vacationers. T-shirts, signs and bumper stickers bore messages of motivation and hope. Still, the island had a way to go. The worst of the damage had been removed, leaving missing pieces that were eerily unsettling. Id pass an empty storefront and rack my brain to remember what business used to occupy it. Id see pilings sticking out of the sand and realize they once supported a house. The gaps reminded me of a rst-graders smile, minus the charm. The south end of the island its narrowest part was hit hard by the storm surge that ooded streets, inundated buildings and pushed some houses off their foundations. Probably half the cottages there were unoccupied when I visited, most of them in the midst of repairs. The scream of power saws and the staccato pop of nail guns rang out on just about every street. The scene was weird. Youd see a house that appeared to be ne, but a trash bin in its white gravel yard would be crammed with ooring, windows and other ood-damage debris. Roses and hydrangeas thrived in the pristine front-yard gardens of two side-by-side beachfront houses, when just down the street a salt marsh was choked with sand. Rows of houses were interspersed with empty lots, as if buildings had been plucked out arbitrarily by some giant, unseen hand. In more than 40 years on LBI, Id never seen anything like it. It would be an exaggeration to say I felt heartsick. After all, these were mainly vacation homes, not primary sources of shelter. I felt sorry for the owners and the stress the storms aftermath must have caused them, but I knew that most had adequate insurance and rode out the storm safely somewhere far from the island. Although more than 100 people died in Sandys wrath, LBI was spared. Homes and streets and sand dunes can be replaced. Lives cant. And it isnt as though the island hasnt seen change. Over the years Ive watched as the modest Cape Cods that once dominated LBI have been replaced steadily by faux Victorians and supersized contemporaries. Construction there is a constant. But Sandys transformation was different. It happened literally overnight. Exploring the post-hurricane island left me wistful, aware of the impermanence of even the things that seem most enduring in our lives. We often think of our homes as durable, but theyre just congurations of wood or brick or stone. In a ash of re or a gust of wind, they can be gone. I tried to be philosophical about that, but really, what message can you take from it? Appreciate today, I guess. Value people and experiences over possessions. Understand that houses are, ultimately, just things. And know that recovery is possible.
Long Beach Island, N.J., is still showing signs of suffering from Hurricane Sandy, but its character remains largely intact.

When Hurricane Sandy slammed the East Coast in October, I paid close attention. The superstorm made landfall just south of Long Beach Island, N.J., a place I call home for one week every year. For more than four decades, the barrier island north of Atlantic City LBI to the regulars has played host to summer vacations that are more like reunions of my extended family. The earliest pictures and videos from the stormravaged island were alarming. I saw boats tumbled together, cottages in shambles and sand in the street that reached the tops of car tires. I followed news of the herculean recovery efforts,

Houses dont come with instruction manuals. Little emergencies inevitably crop up, and new homeowners arent always equipped to deal with them. To help, weve put together a list of tasks every homeowner should know how to do. Think of it as you own homeland security strategy. It certainly doesnt represent everything youll need to know about your house, but its a good start. We compiled our list with help from Chuck Kester of DC Home Inspection Services, Chris Havlik of BEI Maintenance & Repair, Kenneth S. Parker of H.L. Parker
Electric, all of Akron, Ohio, Inspector Sierjie Lash of the Akron Fire Department, www.energystar.gov and the books Tools by Steve Dodds and Whats a Homeowner to Do? by Stephen Fanuka and Edward Lewine.
Start with a corded drill, and save the purchase of a cordless model for later. Its worth investing in good-quality tools that feel comfortable in your hand. Theyll last years, maybe even a lifetime.
At the very least, you should own a curved-claw hammer, an adjustable wrench, needle-nose and standard pliers, slotted and Phillips screwdrivers in a couple of sizes and a pair of safety glasses. An electric drill and a set of twist bits also are invaluable. Cordless drills are convenient but may not have enough torque to handle heavy-duty jobs.

When a water pipe leaks, you need to stop it right away. Otherwise the water can do extensive damage to your home and your bank account. Shutoff valves for individual pipes are typically found along supply lines and near xtures, but those valves can break or freeze up. So its important to know how to stop the water supply to the whole house. The main shutoff valve is found where the water supply enters the house, near the water meter. Look along the basement wall nearest the street. If you dont have a basement, the shutoff is probably near the water heater but might also be under a sink. The valve might be right next to an outdoor meter or inside the house. Some water meters have two shutoff valves, one on each side.
If yours does, use the valve farthest from the street. Its a good idea to close and open the main shutoff valve once a year to prevent it from corroding and freezing in an open position.
Unclog a toilet
Everybody hates this chore, but sometimes you just have to take the plunge or more accurately, take up the plunger. Use a ange plunger, which has a cone extending from the bottom of the bell.

It creates a better seal in a toilet than a cup plunger, so you can create the suction you need to clear the clog. Put on rubber gloves, and if necessary, bail out the toilet bowl until its only half-full. (Yeah, we know. Its gross.) Then position the plunger over the drain hole, and pump up and down a few times to let the air out and create a vacuum seal. Once you feel the resistance that indicates you have a good seal, pump in rapid, short strokes four or ve times without breaking the seal, and then pull out the plunger. If youre lucky, the clog will clear. If youre not, repeat. For really tough clogs, you may need to use a toilet auger. It has a rubberized guard, so it wont scratch the porcelain the way a regular plumbers snake might. By the way, you can use a similar technique to unclog a sink, but use a cup plunger. In addition, use a wet rag to plug the overow drain or the second drain in a double kitchen sink.

When the power goes out in part of your house, it means a circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown, shutting off power to an electrical circuit. Usually the cause is an overload, meaning too many electrical devices are trying to draw power from one circuit. Most homes have electrical panels with circuit breakers, switches that ip
when theres a problem with the circuit. Resetting it isnt rocket science, but theres a little trick to it: You have to turn the switch all the way off rst before you can turn it back on. Its a good idea to turn off or unplug all the lights, appliances and other devices on the circuit before you reset the circuit breaker. When the power is back on, leave some things shut off, or plug them into a receptacle on a different circuit. Sometimes a circuit shuts off because a ground fault interrupter has tripped on a receptacle. You can x that by pushing the reset button on the receptacle. (GFI receptacles are usually found near water, such as in bathrooms and kitchens.) If your house has olderstyle fuses, you x a blown circuit by unscrewing the bad fuse in the electrical panel and screwing in a new one. However, its important to use a fuse with the right wire gauge to handle the circuits amperage. You can foolproof that process preventively by screwing a Fustat fuse adapter into each fuse socket on your electrical panel. It will change the socket size, so you cant screw in a fuse thats the wrong size. If the breaker continues to trip or the fuse keeps blowing even though youve reduced the electrical load, you have a bigger problem and a potential safety hazard. Call an electrician.
When disposal blades jam, a little force is required to dislodge them. Most units have a hole on the underside of the disposal that an Allen wrench ts into. Check underneath the unit to see if the wrench is attached. If not, you can buy a set of Allen wrenches fairly cheaply. Unplug the disposal, or turn off the power at the electrical panel. Then insert the wrench into the hole and work it back and forth until the blades are freed. Remove the offending debris from the disposal. (You did turn the power off, right?) Press the reset button, which is usually on the bottom of the unit near the point where the electrical cord enters the disposal, and then turn the power back on.

to deal with a grease re is to use an ABC extinguisher, a multipurpose extinguisher that can be used on res caused by grease, electricity or ordinary combustibles such as paper, plastic and wood. Its a good idea to buy one and keep it in an easily accessible place in your kitchen. If you dont have one, smother the ames with a lid that covers the pan completely. That will cut off the oxygen that feeds the re. Turn off the burner if you can do so safely, and dont touch the pan until it has cooled. Some people recommend pouring on baking soda to smother a grease re, but you should use that method only if its your only recourse. It takes longer for baking soda to stop a re, and it requires you to come into close contact with the ames. If a re gets beyond your control, get everyone out of the house immediately and call 911 once youre outside. No matter how small the re, you should always call the re department, even if youve managed to put out the ames.

Changing the lter in your furnace doesnt qualify as an emergency, but it could prevent one. A dirty lter slows air ow, wastes energy by making your heating and cooling system work harder and lets dirt into the system, which wears out parts and could hasten a breakdown. If Murphys Law holds true, that breakdown will happen on a bitterly cold day and thats an emergency.
