5
THINGS
YOU NEED
TO KNOW
THIS WEEK
>> DOG STARS: In the owner-eat-owner world of pro-
fessional dog shows, no event is bigger than the West-
minster Kennel Club Dog Show. The 136th edition of the
showbegins the quest for 2012s top dog tonight at 8 on
the USA Network. The big canine kahuna will be crowned
on Tuesday. Past winners of the golden flea and tick collar
(actually called Best in Show) include such luminaries of
the dog world as Foxcliffe Hickory Wind, Roundtown Mer-
cedes of Maryscot and everyones favorite, 2004 winner,
Darbydales All Rise Pouch Cove.
>> LOVE IS IN THE AIR: If you do a little research into
Valentines Day, youd soon come to wonder how the annual
celebration of all things love was named after a martyred
saint fromthe third century. Somehow, a feast day estab-
lished by Pope Gelasius I in the year 496 has evolved into a
day where we buy that special someone flowers and choco-
lates and call thempookie-kins all night. No matter. As
long as you have all your romantic bases covered by
this Tuesday, youll be fine.
>> A LITTLE BIT COUN-
TRY: Country music has come
a long way from the days when
Grandpa Jones and Junior Samples
sang about gloom, despair and ago-
ny on Hee Haw. You can find out
just how far this Friday when coun-
try superstars Rascal Flatts take
the stage at the Mohegan Sun
Arena. Also performing will be
special guests Sara Evans and Hun-
ter Hayes. The show starts at
7:30 and tickets range from $25 to $59.75.
>> WHEN COWS FLY: Quick. Name the first cow to fly
in an airplane. Cant come up with the bovine equiv-
alent of Orville Wright? Well then, this Saturday
may help you out. Its Cow Milked While Flying
in an Airplane Day. Really. And it celebrates
the Feb. 18, 1930 flight of Nellie Jay, who
flew from Bismarck, Mo., to St. Louis to take
part in the International Aircraft Exposition.
Apparently, good ol Nellie was big deal back in
her day. And the good folks of Mount Horeb,
Wisc., honor her at festival every Feb. 18. So, hoist a
glass of milk in her honor.
>> PLAY BALL: For baseball fans, few words
portend the coming of spring more than pitchers
and catchers report to spring training. That day
is this Sunday, when the Boys of Summer start
their journey toward the Fall Classic in the
Florida winter. After a month and a half of
getting in shape, theyll be ready to start the
regular season in early April.

WASHINGTON The presi-
dent will send Congress a budget
that will provide short-term help
to a struggling economy while of-
fering a long-term plan to deal
with soaring deficits, the White
House said Sunday. Republicans
attacked the spending blueprint
as offering
more of the
same failed so-
lutions for the
economy.
The 2013
budget being
released today
will propose
public works
spending while seeking tax in-
creases onthewealthyandcorpo-
rations to claim progress on the
federal deficit in his upcoming
budget. The spending plan pro-
jects a deficit for this year of $1.3
trillion, thefourthstraight year of
$1 trillion-plus deficits, and $901
billion next year.
Jacob Lew, the presidents
chief of staff, said the newbudget
wouldput the country ontrack to
achieve $4 trillion in deficit re-
ductions over the next 10 years,
achieved by raising taxes on the
wealthy and trimming govern-
ment spending. Lew said the
presidents budget would cut
spending by $2.50 for every $1 it
raises in new taxes.
Inthe longrun, we needtoget
the deficit under control in a way
that builds the economy, Lew
said during appearances on the
Sunday talk shows. We do it in a

WASHINGTON Conservatives said
Sunday the flap surrounding President Ba-
rack Obamas birth control mandate was far
from over, with Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell saying hell push to over-
turn the requirement because it was anoth-
er example of government meddling.
While a senior White House official
shrugged off such re-
marks, declaring the issue
resolved and new legisla-
tion unlikely, the heated
rhetoric fromRepublicans
suggested the GOP would
try to keep the debate
alive in an election year to
rally conservatives and
seize upon voter frustration with big gov-
ernment.
Its riddled with constitutional prob-
lems, McConnell said of Obamas broader
health-care plan. And this is what happens
when the government tries to take over
health care and tries to interfere with your
religious beliefs.
Last week, Obama backed down on a
mandate that religious-affiliated employers
such as Catholic hospitals and colleges cov-
er birth control in their health insurance
plans. In a tweak of the rule, those employ-
ees would be offered free coverage directly
from their health insurer. But employers
would not provide or pay for it.
The White House says the plan wont

LONDON Silent movie
The Artist had a night to
shout about Sunday, winning
seven prizes including best pic-
ture at the British Academy
Film Awards.
Britains equivalent of the Os-
cars rewarded the French hom-
age to old Hollywood over a
homegrown favorite, spy thrill-
er Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
The Artist, a black-and-
white picture that has charmed
audiences around the world
since its Cannes debut in May,
was named best picture, and its
rubber-limbed star Jean Dujar-
din took the male acting prize.
Its filmmaker, Michel Hazanav-
icius, won prizes for directing
and his original screenplay.
Hazanavicius thanked pre-
senter Brad Pitt for pronounc-
ing his name correctly and a-
cademy voters for recognizing
that his silent film even had a
screenplay.
So many people thought
there was no script because
there was no dialogue, he said.
Another homage to early cin-
ema, Martin Scorseses Parisian
fantasy Hugo, took prizes for
sound and production design.
John le Carre adaptation
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
went into the ceremony with 11
nominations compared to12 for
The Artist, but won just two
prizes, for British film and for
adapted screenplay.
Writer Peter Straughan dedi-
cated the screenplay award to
his wife and co-writer Bridget
OConnor, who died of cancer
before the film was completed.
She wrote all the good bits
and I made this coffee,
Straughan said. So, Bridget
I love you, I miss you. This is for
you.
The British prizes, known as
BAFTAs, are considered a
strong indicator of likely suc-
cess at Hollywoods Academy
Awards, to be held on Feb. 26.
They give more momentum
to The Artist, which has al-
ready won three Golden
Globes, and has 10 Oscar nomi-
nations.
Dujardin, who plays a silent
screen icon eclipsed by the talk-
ies, said the appeal of The Art-
ist lay in its accessibility.
Its a simple story, he said.
Its a love story. Its universal.
And theres a cute dog Jack
Russell terrier Uggie, who al-
most steals the film from his
two-legged co-stars.
The Artist also won prizes
for cinematography, costume
design and for Ludovic Bources
sprightly musical score.
As predicted, Meryl Streep
was named best actress for her
depiction of Margaret Thatcher,
Britains first female prime min-
ister, in The Iron Lady. The
film also won a well-deserved
prize for hair and makeup.
The ambition of this film
was to look at the life of the Iron
Lady fromthe inside out, and to
locate something real maybe
hidden but truthful in the life
of someone weve all decided
we know everything about al-
ready, Streep said.
The supporting actor prize
went to Christopher Plummer,
as an academic who makes a
new start late in life in Begin-
ners. Octavia Spencer was
named best supporting actress
for her turn as a fiery maid in
Deep South drama The Help
Spencer said The Help had
been called an American mo-
vie about American problems
and American history.

including best picture at

LOS ANGELES -- With six
awards, Adele has matched
Beyonce for most Grammy wins
in a night by a female act.
Adeles six wins Sunday night
include album, record and song of
the year. Beyonce set the record
two years ago.
Adele was shaking as she won
albumof the year, almost in tears
as she held the award.
Adeles 21 was 2011s best-
selling album. Its sold more than
6 million units in the United
States.
She yelled at the end of her
speech: Thank you so much!
Adeles No. 1hit Rolling In the
Deep also won record and song
of the year, her other No. 1hit
Someone Like You won best
pop solo performance, and her
album21 also won best pop
vocal album. Rolling In the
Deep also won best short form
music video.
The British singer gave the
thumps up when accepting the
record of the year honor, and also
said: This is ridiculous.
Foo Fighters, who walked away
with five, and Adele were both up
for albumof the year.
The awards come during a
Grammy ceremony that had the
difficult task of celebrating mu-
sics best while mourning the loss
of one of their greatest, Whitney
Houston.
Houstons death on the eve of
the awards forced a delicate bal-
ance between the exuberance of
the shows winners and perform-
ances with the loss.
Adele was triumphant in her
first performance since vocal cord
surgery forced the cancellation of
a tour and months of vocal rest.
As the world wondered whether
her voice would still soar, she
answered with her performance
of her hit Rolling in the Deep,
and received a sustained standing
ovation fromthe crowd.
The song also won her one of
the nights most prestigious
awards, song of the year. Another
song fromthat album, Someone
Like You, earned her best pop
solo performance.
I cant believe Imgetting
emotional already, she said after
picking up the latter award. And
seeing as its a vocal performance,
I need to thank my doctors, I
suppose, who brought my voice
back.
Adeles CD21 also won best
pop vocal album. The nights
other big winners, the Foo Fight-
ers, noted that they made their
albumWasting Light in a ga-
rage.
To me this award means a lot
because it shows that the human
element of making music is
whats most important. Singing
into a microphone, learning to
play an instrument and learning
to do your craft, thats the most
important thing for people to do,
he said as the band accepted their
best rock performance trophy for
Walk. Its not about being
perfect. Its not about sounding
absolutely correct. Its not about
what goes on in a computer. Its
about what goes on in here (your
heart) and what goes on here
(your head). ... Long live rock n
roll!
Among the evenings perform-
ances was a dance-heavy number
by Chris Brown, a performance by
Paul McCartney and Bruce
Springsteen, who kicked off the
showby performing his newsong
We Take Care of Our Own, a
rousing song that references the
troubles of the nation.
But the evenings most moving
moment came as Jennifer Hud-
son who has called Houston an
inspiration and one of her biggest
idols emerged to sing one of
Houstons signature songs, I Will
Always Love You. Dressed in
black, with only the accompani-
ment of a piano, Hudson ap-
peared to fight back tears as she
sang the song, ending with the
line, Whitney, we will always
love you.
The showstarted off on a som-
ber note, as host LLCool J ap-
peared in black, and told the
audience: There is no way
around this. Weve had a death in
our family.
He then led the audience in
prayer to our fallen sister, Whit-
ney Houston.
Heavenly father, we thank you
for sharing our sister Whitney
with us, he said, as celebrities
like Lady Gaga and Miranda
Lambert bowed their heads in
prayer. Though she is gone too
soon, we remain truly blessed to
have been touched by her beauti-
ful spirit.
He introduced a clip of a glow-
ing Houston singing I Will Al-
ways Love You. LLCool said
afterward. In his performance of
Runaway Baby, Bruno Mars also
mentioned the death: Tonight
were celebrating. Tonight were
celebrating the beautiful Miss
Whitney Houston.
And Stevie Wonder said: To
Whitney up in heaven, we all love
you.
Houston died on the eve of the
Grammys at the Beverly Hilton
Hotel, where she was preparing to
attend a pre-Grammy party.

LOS ANGELES Investiga-
tors worked Sunday to piece
together what killed Whitney
Houston as the music industrys
biggest names prepared for a
Grammy Awards show.
Houstons body arrived at the
morgue early Sunday, and an
autopsy could shed some light
on how Houston died while in a
room at the Beverly Hills Hilton
on Saturday afternoon. An offi-
cial determination of her cause
of death will likely take weeks
while investigators await the
results of toxicology tests.
Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark
Rosen said there were no signs
of foul play when Houston was
found by a member of her en-
tourage. Paramedics worked to
revive Houston, but were un-
successful and the singer was
pronounced dead shortly before
4 p.m. He said he could not
comment on the condition of
Houstons room or where she
had been found.
Meanwhile, Houstons daugh-
ter was transported by ambu-
lance to a Los Angeles hospital
Sunday morning and later re-
leased. A source close to the
family who did not want to
speak given the sensitivity of
the matter said she was treated
and released for stress and anx-
iety. Bobbi Kristina Brown, 18,
who is Houstons daughter from
her marriage to singer Bobby
Brown, had accompanied her
mother to several pre-Grammy
Awards events last week.

SUSQUEHANNA
Man arrested in shooting
S
tate police arrested Lloyd Tho-
mas, 45, of Hallstead, in the
shooting deaths of two other men
whose bodies were found in Susque-
hanna County.
State police say a caller reported a
body lying next to a car parked in the
middle of a Great Bend Township
road on Saturday afternoon.
The body was identified as that of
30-year-old Joshua Rogers of New
Milford. The body of 28-year-old
Gilberto Alvarez of Florida was
found on a nearby hill.
Both died of gunshot wounds said
to be not self-inflicted. The deaths
were ruled homicides.
Police arrested Thomas in the
woods nearby holding a piston and
rifle.
SCRANTON
Trial set in stabbing death
A Lackawanna County teenager
has been ordered to stand trial in the
stabbing death of another teen fol-
lowing a fight at a playground last
fall.
Nineteen-year-old Dylan Ostrowski
of Carbondale is charged with crimi-
nal homicide and aggravated assault
in the death of 18-year-old Lawrence
Atkinson of Jessup.
Police say they believe the Nov. 16
fight in a Jessup park stemmed from
a dispute between two young wom-
en.
Dozens of friends and relatives of
both teenagers packed the Lackawan-
na County courthouse in Scranton
for Fridays hearing.
Defense attorney Paul Walker says
his client will most likely argue self-
defense.
He says Ostrowski suffered a bro-
ken jaw, broken nose and bruises in
the fight.

SUNBURY
Honored for storm acts
Fourteen volunteers who saved 32
people and 30 animals in a 48-hour
shift after Tropical Storm Lee in
September now have new red wind-
breakers as a memento of their hero-
ism.
Former Sunbury Fire Chief Dean
Weirick wanted to show his apprecia-
tion to the volunteers who worked
after the storm dumped more than 7
inches of rain in a 72-hour span and
caused widespread flooding.
Weirick presented the Sunbury
Water Rescue Team with water-
repellent jackets and certificates
acknowledging their extraordinary
work above and beyond the call of
duty.
Weirick purchased the jackets with
his own money.
He presented the jackets to the 14
rescuers who stood next to the boat
that saved humans and animals alike

PLAINS TWP. -- It will be a
week-long celebration for those
at the Department of Veteran
Affairs Medical Center as
events to highlight National Sa-
lute to Veterans Week go on.
The week kicked off with a
program in which Tom Marsi-
lio, lieutenant colonel, retired,
U.S. Marine Corps, addressed a
crowd of veterans and family
and friends of such at the Med-
ical Center.
Marsilio graduated from the
U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis,
Md., Penn State Dickinson Law
School, and the Naval Justice
School in Newport, R.I., with
honor He has distinguished
himself as a deputy attorney
general, an assistant district at-
torney, a Marine Judge Advo-
cate General officer, an assist-
ant public defender andas anat-
torney in private practice for
more than 30 years.
He spoke on a phrase often
heardincelebrationof veterans,
Thank you for your service.
I believe I benefited more
from the military service than
our country did, he said, so
my response is always, Thank
you for the opportunity to
serve.
Marsilio posed the question
of what have veterans done for
us, and highlighted the various
rights and freedoms citizens
have that veterans have helped
to safeguard, including the free-
dom of religion, press, speech,
the freedom to assemble and
right to a fair trail.
These are only a few of the
things for which we owe a debt
of gratitude to you, our veter-
ans.
Sitting front rowwas 95-year-
old Michael Balog, fromWeath-
erly, who donned a cap with
Silver Star emblazoned upon
it.
The Silver Star is the third-
highest combat military decora-
tion that is awarded for gallan-
try in action against an enemy
of the United States Balog, who
was a part of the Marine Corps
from 1942 to 1946. He earned
the Silver Star award during the
Battle of Okinawa inthe Pacific.
A reception after the ceremo-
ny was co-sponsored by the
trustees of the Wilkes-Barre and
Wyoming Valley Veterans Fund
and the Elks Lodge 200 in Ha-
zleton, who presented the Med-
ical Center with a monetary do-
nation.

LEHMAN TWP. After investing
nearly a half-million dollars in his horse
farm, stableowner SteveSalernofeelsbe-
trayed by Gov. Tom Corbett and a deci-
sion he believes will hurt horse racing in
Pennsylvania.
Ivemadeaprettybiginvestment here
and thought Id have more time to pay it
off than five or six years, Salerno said of
the 11-acre horse farm in Lehman Town-
ship he bought six years ago.
The governors 2012-13 budget propos-
al, released Tuesday, includes the diver-
sion of $72 million from the Horse Race
Development Fund to help balance the
budget.
Thats on top of about $47 million al-
ready being diverted from the fund an-
nually for the same purpose, a practice
that began during Gov. Ed Rendells ad-
ministration in 2009 and is set to contin-
ue through June 2013.
The fundwas createdinthe Racehorse
Development and Gaming Act of 2004,
which authorized the placement of slot
machines at horse racetracks and then
yet-to-be-built casinos. The act mandat-
ed that slot revenue would be used for
several different purposes, such as prop-
erty tax relief, to which 34 percent of the
tax is dedicated.
The horse racing industry, which was
expected to lose gambling revenue with
the addition of slots, was to receive 12
percent of the gross tax revenue.
Of the $2.35 billion in gross slot reve-
nue generated in 2010-11, the Race Horse
Development Fund was to receive about
$275 million. Most of that money 80
percent was to be used to raise purses
the horse owners, trainers and jockeys
win.
Its those larger purses, Salerno said,
that attracted more horse owners to race
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Steve Salerno said he fears hell have
to close his stables if Pennsylvanias
horse racing industry suffers because
of cuts Gov. Tom Corbett is proposing.

SCRANTON -- Three thousand, five
hundred and ninety-five years of ser-
vice. That is the amount of work that
could be attributed to the men and
women who sat among the front pews
at St. Peters Cathedral inScrantonfor a
celebratory Mass for World Day for
Consecrated Life.
The day is set aside for the women
and men, or jubilarians, who are cele-
brating service milestones. Those in at-
tendance were celebrating time periods
of service that ranged from 25 to 75
years.
Though it may seem a great number
of years to pass by, many of the sisters
being honored agreed upon one thing:
It went by too fast.
Sister Linda Anne Greenberg, who
just came up on the 50-year mark, feels
that way. She knew from a young age
that she wanted to be a sister, but said
her final decision came down to one
small factor.
I had sisters all throughout grade
andhighschool, but hadnever comeup-
on IHMs until Marywood, she said.
IHM refers to The Sisters, Servants of
the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a Ca-
tholic teaching institute for women.
I had to make a decision between
them and the Dominicans that I loved
so much as well, and it was hard. In the
end, Gods spirit led me to the IHM.
Community, she said.
This experience has had its ups and
downs, like anything, really, but it has
been simply wonderful. I know Im ex-
actly where I should be, Greenberg
said.
Sister Kathleen ODeas decision to
take the path of a sister was in limbo for
a while.
It was always goahead, no, goahead,
no, she said. I used to kneel before the
blessed sacrament and the vigil lights
would throwthe shadows, yes, no, yes,
no. But here I am, 60 years later and it
has been a wonderful life.
Sister Joseph Mary Romano, LSP,
looked to the generations before her,
such as ODea and Greenberg, as she is
just celebrating her 25thyear of service.
I kept saying, 2012 is my jubilee, its
far away, and now here it is, she said.
Its been wonderful.
Romano attended Marywood Univer-
sity to obtain a degree in music educa-
tion and became very involved in the
campus ministry. She still utilizes her
passion for and skills in music through
her work and her time with her sisters.
Sheoftenentertains others anduses her
skills in a church setting.
During the Mass, Diocese of Scran-
ton Bishop Joseph C. Bambera served
as principal celebrant and homilist.
Today we celebrate the sisters and
brothers in consecrated life who, in
deep trust every day, continue to hand
themselves over toGod, he saidduring
theMass. Youallowthespirit tofill you
withthe presence andholiness of Jesus.
We celebrate your whole-hearted ap-
proach to the mission.
World Day for Consecrated life was
instituted in 1997 by Pope John Paul II.
It is a celebration attached to the Feast
of the Presentation of the Lord, also
called Candlemas Day, a day in which
candles are blessed, symbolizing Christ
as the light of the world. As such, those
who are calledinto a consecratedlife re-
flect the light of Jesus Christ to all peo-
ple, according to the church.

CHICAGO It happened to
nurse Jane Byron years after an
in-line skating fall, business
owner Haralee Weintraub while
doing mens push-ups, and
avid cyclist Gene Wilberg while
lifting a heavy box.
It is that pop, strain or sud-
denly swollen joint that reminds
active older adults they arent as
young as theyd like to think.
Even among the fittest baby
boomers, aging bodies just
arent as nimble as young ones,
and theyre more prone to minor
damage that can turn serious if
ignored or denied. But not every
twist or turn needs medical at-
tention, and knowing when its
OK to self-treat pays off in the
long run, in dollars and in
health.
Costly knee replacements
have more than tripled in people
age 45-64 in recent years and a
study released last week found
that nearly 1 in 20 Americans ol-
der than 50 have these artificial
joints. But active boomers can
avoid that kind of drastic treat-
ment by properly managing ach-
es and pains.
Injuries that need immediate
treatment cause excruciating,
unrelenting pain, or force you to
immediately stop your activity
and prevent normal motion. Ex-
amples are a swollen, bent elbow
that wont straighten, or a knee
that collapses when you try to
stand, said Dr. Charles Bush-Jo-
seph, a sports medicine special-
ist at Chicagos Rush University
Medical Center.
Treatment for more run-of-the
mill activity-related injuries is
less clear-cut.
A good rule of thumb for low-
er-body injuries is this: If youre
able to bear weight, its safe to
self-treat, at least initially. Even
if taking a few steps is painful,
just being able to put weight on
an injury means its probably not
a medical emergency, Bush-Jo-
seph said.
The key for most injuries is
what happens over the next two
to three days. If things start to
improve less pain, more range
of motion then theres often
no need to see a doctor. But if
pain or swelling dont subside
with self-help, then its time to
make an appointment.
Common injuries in active
boomers include:
Tendinitis painful in-
flamed tendons in the elbow,
shoulder or knee. The condition
is often caused by repetitive ac-
tion, such as swinging a golf club
or tennis racket, especially when
not using the proper form.
Tears to the meniscus, cartil-
age that cushions the knee but
that becomes more brittle with
age and prone to injury, especial-
ly from sudden twisting. Tears
often cause a pop sensation
and a feeling like the knee is
catching while walking.
Back pain, often from arthri-
tis or aging discs in the lower
spine. Impact exercise including
running, and using the back in-
stead of leg muscles to lift heavy
weights can contribute.
Most can be treated with
things like ice to curb swelling
immediately after the injury, hot
pads or other heat treatment for
pain, over-the-counter painkill-
ers, and rest.
In some ways, Jane Byron ex-
emplifies the best and worst
ways to handle those injuries.
At 51, the New York City can-
cer nurse is a self-described exer-
cise maniac. Her daily work-
outs often include walking, bik-
ing, leg pressing 400-pound
weights and stair-climbing at
her gym.
All that exercise has kept her
extremely fit, and she rejects the
idea that she might be overdoing
it. So she had some choice words
for the doctor who suggested
she consider slowing down a bit
when her right knee swelled up
six years ago.
His diagnosis was torn cartil-
age likely from a 1999 fall while
in-line skating. Byron had never
been in pain nor sought treat-
ment for that injury until the
swelling began.
She had the cartilage surgical-
ly repaired and injections of lu-
bricant medicine for knee arthri-
tis. But she continued rigorous
workouts right up until 2010,
when she developed hip pain,
probably from walking funny to
favor her bum knee. By then she
needed both knees replaced, but
a physical therapist told her that
being so fit would speed her re-
covery. Within a week after both
surgeries, she was back riding an
indoor bike.
Overdoingit canaggravate mi-
nor injuries, but abandoning ac-
tivity isnt a good solution, ei-
ther, because exercise has so
many health benefits, said Dr.
Steven Haas, an orthopedic spe-
cialist at the Hospital for Special
Surgery in New York City.
Instead, make sure youre
well-conditioned and listen to
your body, Haas said. Switch-
ing to less rigorous activities is
sometimes the answer. If your
knee is killing you every day af-
ter you run, youre probably not
doing the right sport.
Rob Landel, a physical ther-
apist and professor at the Uni-
versity of Southern California,
says many of his baby boomer
patients try to cram all their ex-
ercise and activity into a week-
end but do nothing during the
week to prepare. That puts extra
stress on bodies and raises
chances for injuries.
So, for example, for those who
like to go on long weekend runs,
he recommends treadmill ses-
sions or short jogs during the
week, or other leg-strengthening
exercises.
Theres growing evidence that
stretching right before an activ-
ity can hurt your performance,
Landel said. After a run or tennis
match is a better time to stretch,
when muscles are warmed up.
And routinely doing stretching
and strengthening exercises dur-
ing the week helps keep muscles
strong and limber.
Landel knows that from per-
sonal experience. Hes 53 and
has painful tendinitis in both
knees fromplaying volleyball for
more than 30 years. That some-
times makes it difficult to get up
and down on floor mats while
helping patients with treatment.
Its kind of embarrassing
working with patients and you
have to kind of crawl up the fur-
niture to stand up. If I just exer-
cise my legs, then I dont have
those problems, Landel said.
Boomers push selves too far
As they age, people should be
aware activities can do more
damage, experts say.

HARRISBURG Gov. Tom
Corbetts proposal for the big-
gest reduction in the prison
population in Pennsylvania his-
tory is getting a cool reception
from state prison guards.
Corrections officials say the
reduction of more than 2,500
inmates will come from in-
creased efficiency in the parole
process. Secretary of Correc-
tions John
Wertzel says it
can take up to
100 days for an
inmate to be re-
leased after be-
ing granted pa-
role.
But Roy Pin-
to, president of
the Pennsylva-
nia State Cor-
rections Offi-
cers Associ-
ation, says the projected reduc-
tions arent going to happen.
The only way it can be done
is theyre going to have to cut
people loose that shouldnt be
cut loose, he told The (Harris-
burg) Patriot-News.
Michael Potteiger, chairman
of the state parole board, which
is independent fromthe correc-
tions department, said the
board doesnt make decisions
based on prison populations.
Were not changing any cri-
teria for a person to be pa-
roled, said Potteiger. Getting
people whove already been pa-
roled out the door sooner isnt
a safety risk.
Officials point to clogs in the
systemsuch as the delay of sev-
eral months in confirming two
parole board members. During
that period, the number of in-
mates grew from 51,356 in July
to a record 51,638 in December
and each of those 282 addi-
tional inmates cost the state
more than $750,000 a month.
Wetzel says he can fix other
clogs in the system, getting
people who are eligible into an
interview sooner and after-
ward getting them quickly out
the door.
That, he said, will allow offi-
cials to bring back nearly 1,000
inmates housed in Virginia and
eventually reduce the popula-
tion enough to allow closure of
housing units.
Pinto, however, says the sys-
tem is overcrowded in every
institution.
Theres absolutely no way
hes going to close housing
units, he said. Its all based on
projections, and the depart-
ment has never been good at
projections.
In order to save money, he
said, officials have to get over-
time under control or trim fat
in what he called a top-heavy
department.
This is the
reality of it: We
are already at
bare-minimum
staffing, he
said.
Potteiger
said the system
has grown
much more effi-
cient over the
past few years.
The board
now interviews inmates sever-
al months prior to their mini-
mum release date, so they can
leave closer to that time if
granted parole.
After parole is granted, it
sometimes takes time for his
home plan to be evaluated and
approved by an agent in the
field, he said.
Potteiger points out that the
three-year recidivism rate is
now 42 percent, a reduction of
6 percent over the past five
years.
In addition, those who vio-
late technical provisions of pa-
role are managed with sanc-
tions and special treatment
centers so fewer go back to
prison.
Wetzel said with every de-
crease of 200 to 250 inmates,
he can close one of the systems
modular housing units, allow-
ing guards to be sent to other
units.
He said that will help reduce
the overtime cited by Pinto,
which costs the prison budget
more than $60 million a year.
If were going to fundamen-
tally change how were spend-
ing money in corrections, this
is what weve got to do, said
Wetzel.
Guards question
prison savings
Officials say efficiencies will
reduce costs, but union says
too many will be set free.
Getting people
whove already been
paroled out the door
sooner isnt a safety
risk.

Xi Jinping, 58, is to assume lead-

than ever in the past decade.
As such, the eyes of two countries
will be on Xi this week as he tries to

the Pacific.
The important thing for him is that
he shows or increases the awareness
that he can work with the America,
said Albert Keidel, a China expert for

Georgetown University. Hell be doing
that in his speeches here, and in his

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Judge and daughter killed
A provincial judge from a restive
eastern province was assassinated on
Sunday, Afghan official said. The
judges 8-year-old daughter was killed
with him, they said.
For the past several years, the Tali-
ban and affiliated insurgent groups
have carried out a concerted campaign
of assassinations, taking aim at influen-
tial local figures tribal elders, com-
munity leaders, municipal and pro-
vincial officials because of perceived
loyalty to the central Afghan govern-
ment.
Such targeted killings account for a
growing proportion of overall civilian
deaths in the war in Afghanistan, the
United Nations said in a recent report.
CAIRO
U.N. worker is shot dead
An Egyptian woman who worked for
the United Nations as a freelance con-
sultant was fatally shot in the head
while driving through an upscale Cairo
neighborhood on Sunday, security
officials said.
It was not immediately clear wheth-
er the woman, identified as 41 year-old
Nermeen Gomaa Khalil, was targeted
or killed in a random crime. Police said
she was shot by unidentified gunmen
passing in another car, but no one has
been arrested.
It was one of the more serious at-
tacks in a crime spree over the past
year after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak
and the withdrawal of police from the
streets, which led to a deterioration in
security.

Lottery officials say someone who
played the Powerball in Rhode Island
has won the $336.4 million jackpot.
The new multimillionaire has not
stepped forward and the lottery has not
said where the winning ticket was sold.
To win, the player had to match all of
Saturdays five numbers, 1-10-37-52-57,
and Powerball number 11.
Because of rising sales, the jackpot
more than doubled from $173.5 million
on Feb. 1.
Powerball is played in 42 states,
Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.

ATHENS, Greece Greek lawmakers
early today approved harsh newausterity
measures demanded by bailout creditors
to save the debt-crippled nation from
bankruptcy, after rioters in central Ath-
ens torched buildings, looted shops and
clashed with riot police.
The historic vote paves the way for
Greeces Europeanpartners andtheInter-
national Monetary Fund to release $170
billion (euro 130 billion) in new rescue
loans, without which Greece would de-
fault on its debt mountain next month
and likely leave the eurozone a scena-
riothat wouldfurther roil global markets.
Sundays clashes erupted after more
than 100,000 protesters marched to the
parliament to rally against the drastic
cuts, whichwill axone infive civil service
jobs and slash the minimum wage by
more than a fifth.
At least 10 buildings were on fire, in-
cluding a movie theater, bank and cafete-
ria, and looters smashed dozens of shops
in the worst riot damage in years. Dozens
of police officers and at least 37
protesters were injured, 23 sus-
pected rioters were arrested
and a further 25 detained.
As the vote got under way
early Monday, Prime Minister
Lucas Papademos urged calm,
pointing to the countrys dire fi-
nancial straits.
Vandalism and destruction
have no place in a democracy
and will not be tolerated, Papa-
demos told Parliament. I call
on the public to show calm. At
these crucial times, we do not
have the luxury of this type of protest. I
think everyone is aware of how serious
the situation is.
Since May 2010, Greece has survived
ona $145 billion(euro110 billion) bailout
fromits European partners and the Inter-
national Monetary Fund. When that
proved insufficient, the new rescue pack-
age was approved. The deal, which has
not yet been finalized, will be combined
with a massive bond swap
deal to write off half the coun-
trys privately held debt.
But for bothdeals tomateri-
alize, Greece has to persuade
its deeply skeptical creditors
that it has the will to imple-
ment spending cuts and pub-
lic sector reforms that will
end years of fiscal profligacy
and tame gaping budget defi-
cits.
As protests raged Sunday,
demonstrators set bonfires in
front of parliament and doz-
ens of riot police formed lines to keep
themfrommaking a run on the building.
Security forces fired dozens of tear gas
volleys at rioters, who attacked them
withfirebombs andchunks of marble bro-
ken off the fronts of luxury hotels, banks
and department stores.
Measure accepted by Greece paves the way for rest of Europe and

PORTLAND, MaineAdayaf-
ter Mitt Romney regained some
momentum in the Republican
presidential contest, his rival Rick
Santorumwent onthe attack, call-
ing the front-runner desperate
while promising to compete ag-
gressively to win the state where
Romney grew
up.
Santorum
said Sunday he
could do ex-
ceptionally
well in Michi-
gan, where
Romneysfather
served as gover-
nor. The Midwestern state and
Arizonahost Republicanpresiden-
tial nominating contests on Feb.
28.
Were going to spend a lot of
timeinMichiganandArizona, and
those are up next. And thats
where weve really been focusing
on, Santorum told ABCs This
Week. He suggestedthat a strong
showing in those contests would
make the presidential contest a
two-manrace,dismissingcurrent
rivals Newt Gingrich and Ron
Paul.
Santorum shrugged off his
third-place finish Saturday in cau-
cusesinMaine, wherehedidnt ac-
tively compete, as well as his sec-
ond-place finish in a straw poll of
conservative activists.
Romney has been painting San-
torum as a longtime Washington
insider who pursued home-state
projects. Santorumon Sunday de-
scribed Romneys recent criticism
as desperate.
You reach a point where des-
perate people do desperate
things, said Santorum, who rep-
resented Pennsylvania during his
16 years in Congress, first in the
House and then in the Senate.
Maine GOP officials declared
Romney the winner of Saturdays
caucuses. The results ended a
three-state losing streak to Santo-
rum, who swept contests in Col-
orado, MinnesotaandMissouri on
Tuesday.
With the next primaries more
than two weeks away, the break
seems unusually long inthe rapid-
fire race thats featured six con-
tests in the last 14 days. Romney
and his rivals nowhave 17 days to
raise cashandbolster their organi-
zations for whats shapinguptobe

RESTELICA, Kosovo Res-
cuers have pulled a 5-year-old
girl alive from the rubble of a
house flattened by a massive
avalanche that killed both her
parents and at least seven of her
relatives in a remote mountain
village in southern Kosovo.
Col. Shemsi Syla, a spokes-
man for the Kosovo Security
Force, said Sunday officers dis-
covered the girl when they
heard her voice and cell phone.
Her home was buried under 33
feet of snow.
Rescuers cheered and
pumped their fists in the air late
Saturday as the girl was pulled
out alive. A video aired on Klan
Kosova TV showed rescuers
covering the girl with blankets,
before she was rushed to hospi-
tal.
Osman Qerreti, an emergen-
cy official at the site, told The
Associated Press that at least
ninemembers of her familydied
when the avalanche in the vil-
lage of Restelica near Kosovos
border with Macedonia and Al-
baniadestroyedsevenhouses, of
which only two were inhabited.
The cold snap in Europe,
which began late January, has
killed hundreds of people
most of them homeless. Heavy
snow has been blanketing the
Balkans for more than two
weeks, with Restelica and roads
in the region blocked for several
days.

CAIROThe Arab League calledSun-
dayfor theU.N. SecurityCouncil tocreate
a joint peacekeeping force for Syria and
urged Arab states to sever all diplomatic
contact with President Bashar Assads re-
gime, the Leagues latest effort tobringan
endthe violence that has killedmore than
5,000 people.
Syria immediately rejected the moves,
spelled out in a resolution adopted by
League foreign ministers meeting in Cai-
ro.
Saudi Foreign Minister Saud Al-Faisal
conveyed the 22-nation Leagues deep
frustration with Syria, telling delegates
that it was no longer appropriate to stand
by and watch the bloodshed.
Until when will we remain specta-
tors? hesaid. ThebloodshedinSyriais a
disgrace for us as Muslims and Arabs to
accept.
Syrias state news agency said the re-
gime rejected the Arab League decisions,
which were taken without a Syrian repre-
sentative present. Syrias ambassador to
the Arab League, Ahmed Youssef, was
quoted as saying Saudi Arabia and Qatar
were living in a state of hysteria after
their last failureat theU.N. SecurityCoun-
cil tocall for outsideinterferenceinSyrias
affairs andtoimpose sanctions onthe Syr-
ian people.
The Arab League has been at the fore-
front of regional efforts to end 11 months
of bloodshed in Syria. The group put for-
ward a plan that Assad agreed to in De-
cember, then sent in monitors to check
whether he was complying. When it be-
came clear that Assads regime was flout-
ing the terms of the agreement and the
killings were continuing, the League
pulled out the observers last month.
The League called for the U.N. Security
Council to adopt a resolution that pro-
vides for an immediate cease-fire in Syria.

A ROYAL VALENTINES EVENT
M
ary Wrazer and John Gallucci dance together Sunday after being crowned King and
Queen of Valentines Dance at the Butler Township Community Center. The event was
sponsored by the Butler Township Recreation Board in conjunction with the Butler Town-
ship Senior Citizens and the Area Agency on Aging.
DALLAS, Texas Diane
Aulger was about two weeks
from her delivery date when
she and her husband decided
there was no time to wait:
Mark Aulger had only days to
live, and he wanted to see his
child.
Diane Aulger had her labor
induced and gave birth to their
daughter on Jan. 18. When tiny
Savannah was placed in his
arms, Mark Aulger cried, and
he just looked very sad, his
wife said. He died five days lat-
er from complications related
to his cancer treatment.
The 52-year-old Texas man
was diagnosed with colon can-
cer in April. He had surgery
and, as a precaution, six
months of chemotherapy,
Diane Aulger said. With no
signs of cancer showing up in
follow up tests, the treatment
seemed successful.
Then in November, Mark
Aulger began having trouble
breathing. By Jan. 3, he was
sick enough to go to the emer-
gency room. His wife said he
was told the chemotherapy
had caused himto develop pul-
monary fibrosis, which causes
scarring and thickening in the
lungs.
Initially, the Aulgers were
hopeful.
He thought hed be coming
home in a few days with an ox-
ygen tank, said Diane Aulger,
who lives in The Colony, about
25 miles north of Dallas.
But on Jan. 16, the doctor de-
livered more bad news: Mark
Aulgers condition was fatal.
When Diane Aulger asked how
long her husband had, the re-
sponse was a sobering five or six
days.
Mark said, Id like to see the
baby, the 31-year-old mother
told The Associated Press on
Sunday.
Their baby was due Jan. 29,
and Diane Aulger had planned a
natural childbirth, but when the
doctor suggested an induced la-
bor, she immediately agreed. She
was already experiencing pre-la-
bor symptoms, and they sched-
uled the birth for Jan. 18.
Hospital staff arranged for the
Aulgers to share a large labor and
delivery room.
Our beds were side by side,
Diane Aulger said.
Mark Aulger held his daughter
for about 45 minutes after she
was born. For the next couple of
days, though, he was so tired he
was only able toholdher a couple
of times for a minute or so. She
said he slipped into a coma on
Jan. 21 and died two days later.
I brought her home the night
before he fell into the coma. It
was just me and Savannah when
he passed away, Diane Aulger
said.
Along with Savannah, the Aul-
gers have two other children, ag-
es10 and7. Diane Aulger also has
a 15-year-old and a 13-year-old.
With her familys story getting
much media attention in recent
days, Diane Aulger said shes
been heartened by the nice com-
ments shes received from peo-
ple.

RIODEJANEIROMost pre-
Carnival street parties in Brazil
are all about samba, but the
moves ondisplayat Sundays Blo-
cao parade were focused more on
wagging and strategic sniffing
than on fancy footwork.
Hundreds of decked-out dogs
and a few brave cats got in
on the Carnival fun at Rio de Ja-
neiros annual pet-friendly pa-
rade: Labradors in pink tutus or
engineers overalls cavorted with
Maltese terriers with fairy wings,
and poodles in superheros capes
sniffed sausage dogs dressed up
as Salome, with sequin-covered
harem pants.
Carnival is perhaps the defin-
ing moment in Brazilian life, and
the annual Blocao a play on
the wordfor street party, bloco,
and dog, or cao allows four-
legged family members a chance
to take part in the fun.
The animal excitement is tak-
ing over Copacabana, said Blo-
cao organizer Marco Antonio To-
to as the parades sound truck,
topped by an enormous inflata-
ble terrier, crawled its way down
the seaside Atlantica Avenue.
The neighborhood of Copacaba-
na has currently the most dog
owners per square meter. It de-
serves this prestigious party. Our
animals deserve this celebra-
tion.
Talent agent Ariane Raballo
made the trip from Rios sister
city of Niteroi to parade with her
two mini Yorkies dressed as Car-
menMiranda, complete withcor-
nucopias of tiny tropical fruits on
their heads.
We come every year, said Ra-
ballo, as Maia and Lady Kate
strained at the leash to sniff the
four-legged passers-by and posed
coquettishly as parade-goers of
the two-legged variety snapped
photos with their iPhones.

THE BES T
LIMA, Peru Peruvian
troops captured on Sunday the
badly wounded leader of a rem-
nant of the once-powerful Shin-
ing Path rebel group, effectively
dismantling a well-armed fac-
tion that lived off the cocaine
trade, President Ollanta Humala
said.
Humala, a former army lieu-
tenant colonel, flew to the re-
mote coca-growing Upper Hual-
laga Valley of central Peru to
congratulate the police and sol-
diers who had snared the 50-
year-old rebel, Comrade Arte-
mio, andtwo of his confederates.
He said Artemio, whose given
name is Florindo Juan Flores,
was undergoing medical treat-
ment and would be airlifted to
Lima.
Mission accomplished, he
told state TV from the police
counter-narcotics base where
Artemio was taken.
He said that with the capture
of Artemio and several of his top
lieutenants in recent weeks se-
curity forces had eliminated its
leadership and pacified the Up-
per Huallaga, making agribusi-
ness, cattle ranching and tou-
rism now possible.
Analysts consider Artemios
capture a crippling blow to a
roughly 150-strong band that
represented roughly half of what
remains of the Shining Path,
which killed thousands during
the 1980s and 1990s. He was ap-
prehendedthree days after being
wounded under circumstances
neither Humala nor other offi-
cials immediately explained.
The other faction, also in-
volved in the drug trade, is cen-
tered further south in the valley
of the Apurimac and Ene rivers.
Humala said security forces
would nowfocus efforts on fight-
ing that group, which was
blamed for an attack on a remote
police station last Monday in
which two police officers were
wounded.
Defense Minister Alberto Ota-
rola said Artemio had practical-
ly lost his right arm when he
was wounded. Other officials
said he had at least one serious
chest wound.
Humala expressed pride at an-
nouncing the capture of the
guerrilla who was the Shining
Paths regional chief in the early
1990s when Humala command-
ed a local army garrison.

DETROIT Seven members
of a Midwest militia accused of
plotting to overthrowthe govern-
ment are set to stand trial, where
jurors will decide whether feder-
al authorities preventedanattack
by homegrown extremists or
simply made too much of the
boasts by weekend warriors who
had pledged to take our nation
back.
Opening statements are set for
today once a jury is seated in the
trial of members of the Hutaree
militia, who are charged with
conspiringtocommit sedition, or
rebellion, as well as weapon
crimes.
After the March 2010 arrests in
southern Michigan, Ohio and In-
diana, U.S. Attorney Barbara
McQuade saidthe time hadcome
for authorities to take them
down. An undercover agent had
recorded the groups leader, Da-
vid Stone, saying the militia
needed to start huntin police
soon.
But since their capture, only
one of nine people charged has
struck a plea deal, an unusually
low number in a case with so
many defendants. Their attor-
neys have maintained a consis-
tent stance: Theanti-government
talk was simply colorful yet aim-
less bluster.
Im going to fight it tooth and
nail, David Stones wife and co-
defendant Tina Mae Stone said
last week. It was just a bunch of
good ol boys out to have fun. We
did survival stuff. I did it mostly
to spend time with my husband.
People tell me, goodluck. I dont
need luck. Ive got God on my
side.
Themilitia preparedfor surviv-
al in case of domestic chaos or an
attackontheUnitedStates, attor-
neys Todd Shanker and Richard
Helfrick said in a court filing.
They noted the group even had a
website and promoted its week-
end outings.
The indictment, however, de-
scribes a more sinister band. The
government says the Hutaree,
based in Michigans Lenawee
County, was an anti-government
group committed to fighting au-
thorities who belong to a so-
called New World Order. The
defendants are accused of con-
spiring to someday ambush and
kill a police officer, then attack
the funeral procession with ex-
plosives and trigger a broader re-
volt against the U.S. government.
Trial opens
in Midwest
militia case
Jury will weigh whether group
was planning a real attack or
just being boastful.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TOALLDAMA
TRASH CUSTOMERS
Due to the overwhelming positive response by DAMA solid waste and recycling
customers in the adoption of single-stream recycling, and to help manage the
increased volume of recyclable materials generated as a result of this innovative
collection method, effective the week of February 20, 2012, we will change the
collection of recycling from every other week to a weekly collection. The recycling
format will remain single-stream, however, you will now be able to place all of
your recycling to include paper, glass, plastic and metal cans, curbside in the same
container for collection every week. This change should help ease the burden on
both our customers and the DAMA solid waste division staff, and allow the program
to operate more effciently. During the month of January alone, DAMA collected
approximately 25,000 bags of trash and 144 tons of recycling from our residents.
Please remember the following program guidelines:
Trash & Recycling must be placed curbside by 6:00 AM on the day of your
collection. Trash must be placed in bags, no loose garbage.
There is a two bag, or two standard 33 gallon containers, limit on trash.
Additional trash must have extra bag stickers. Please place recycling curbside in
open containers or clear plastic bags.
Coal & wood ashes must be bagged or boxed, and marked ashes, as these are
removed at no charge to our residents and do not count against your bag limit.
Thank you for your patience and support of this program,
The Board of Directors and Staff of the Dallas Area Municipal Authority
PROVIDENCE, R.I. When
Providence Mayor Angel Taveras
recently warned that Rhode Is-
lands capital could run out of
cashbyJuneandfacebankruptcy,
he singled out the citys largest
employer and one of its most
prestigious institutions Brown
University for what he called a
failure to sacrifice.
The Ivy League school, which
as a nonprofit enjoys tax-exempt
status, makes voluntary pay-
ments of a few million dollars a
year to the city under an earlier
agreement. But Taveras main-
tains the university should give
more at a time when city taxes
have gone up, services have been
cut, schools have been closed
andhe trimmedhis ownsalary by
10 percent.
Our taxpayers already subsi-
dize the tax-exempt institutions
in this city, Taveras declared at a
news conference at City Hall, not-
ing that some residents sawtheir
taxes hiked nearly 13 percent last
year. It takes the revenue collect-
ed from19,000 taxpayers like the
one I just mentioned to account
for the $38 million in property
taxes not paidby BrownUniversi-
ty.
Struggling U.S. cities are in-
creasingly looking to private uni-
versities and other tax-exempts
for cashto cover what they would
otherwise fork over in property
taxes on valuable parcels. That
has sometimes created strained
relations with those institutions,
which defend their special status
by saying they bring jobs, gener-
ate economic activity and offer
critical services in education and
health care.
But the town-gown dispute has
become particularly pronounced
in Providence, where the city
faces a roughly $22.5 million def-
icit in the current fiscal year and
the mayor has warned of devas-
tation if Brown and other lo-
cal colleges and universities
dont contribute millions more
and city pensions arent cut.
Negotiations onBrowns volun-
tary payments resumed last week
when Gov. Lincoln Chafee, a
Brown alumnus, brought togeth-
er Taveras and two of Browns
highest-ranking administrators,
President Ruth Simmons and
Chancellor Thomas Tisch. Repre-
sentatives from both sides say
they are trying to reach a fair
agreement.
The city says Browns 200-plus
buildings are worth more than $1
billion and would mean $38 mil-
lion in revenue if they were taxed
at the regular commercial rate.
Brown is hoping to continue its
expansion into a key economic
development parcel on the edge
of downtown; the so-called
Knowledge District, where
Brown opened its new medical
school building in August, has
been identified by the city and
state as critical to the fiscal recov-
ery of both.
Brown says it gives the city $4
million a year, including $1.2 mil-
lion under a 2003 memo of un-
derstanding as well as taxes on
properties not used for educa-
tional purposes, such as its for-
profit bookstore. Marisa Quinn,
vice president of public affairs at
Brown, said the university has of-
fered to do more.
Taveras turned down an addi-
tional $10 million over five years
to support city schools after he
says Brown reneged on an agree-
ment reached last year under
which it would have paid nearly
$40 million more over a decade.
Theuniversitys governingboard,
the Corporation, never signed off
on that.
Brown students held a small
rally Friday to coincide with the
boards regularly scheduled win-
ter meeting, at which the pay-
ments were expected to be dis-
cussed. Senior Aaron Regunberg
saidthefates of theuniversityand
the city are linked.
If wethinkwecansit uponour
hill and thrive while the rest of
the city fails, were going to be in
for asurpriselater downtheline,
he said.
The operating budget this fis-
cal year in Providence a gritty
city with high unemployment
that has struggled to replace its
defunct manufacturing economy
is about $614 million, down 4
percent from last year. The bud-
get of Brownacampus of state-
ly brick buildings in a neighbor-
hood called College Hill is
$865.2 million for the coming fis-
cal year, up more than 3.2 per-
cent. Its endowment earned an
18.5 percent return last fiscal
year, growing to $2.5 billion.
Daphne Kenyon, a visiting fel-
low at the Lincoln Institute of
LandPolicyinCambridge, Mass.,
said municipalities have increas-
ingly turned to PILOTs not only
because of fiscal strains, but also
because raising taxes on the pub-
lic has become so politically un-
palatable. She said PILOTs are
important inplaces likeProviden-
ce that have lost industry, rely
heavily on the property tax for
revenue and where a significant
portion of land is occupied by
nonprofit institutions.
But a 2010 report she co-au-
thored found that the payments
can be ad hoc, secretive and con-
tentious andthat nonprofits may
feel like theyre being extorted.
Town clashes with Brown U. over budget troubles
Providence, R.I., wants
non-profit school to
contribute more cash.

Tara Kane Prendergast, one of 16 Brown University students who say their school needs to sacrifice
more financially to support the city of Providence, speaks at an informational protest.
LOS ANGELES Until the
photos surfaced, it didnt appear
that anything was seriously
amiss at Miramonte Elementary
School.
The school was on the up-
swing. Test scores were rising.
The campus south of downtown
Los Angeles was bright with new
paint, murals and $6 million in
other improvements. Anewprin-
cipal brought inparent education
workshops, student leadership
programs and other activities.
Even the neighborhood, noto-
rious for gang violence and
drugs, had calmed down.
Then came the bombshell:
photos showing Miramonte
schoolchildren blindfolded and
gagged, pictured with spoons
containing a milky substance
that authorities allege was the se-
men of Mark Berndt, a third-
grade teacher who has been
charged with 23 counts of lewd
conduct with children. Another
teacher, Martin Springer, was ar-
rested on suspicion of three
counts of lewd conduct.
The schools gains now seem
endangered by the turmoil, and
families, staff and neighbors are
wrestling with the haunting
question of how this could have
happened.
Perhaps there wouldnt be
signs at any school. A suspect in-
tent on using children in these
ways might be able to slide by
largely unnoticed, experts say.
But Miramonte faces particu-
larly challenging conditions. It is
the second-largest elementary
school in California and one of
the last remaining on a year-
round calendar, with teachers
and nearly 1,500 students on dif-
ferent schedules.
Families in the area rank
among the poorest in L.A Coun-
ty. Two-thirds of adults have no
high school diploma and about a
thirdare single parents, twice the
rate in the county overall. Nearly
half the residents are immi-
grants, most from Latin Ameri-
can countries, and half the stu-
dents are English learners.
Parents who are unfamiliar
with the system or uncomfort-
able because they dont speak the
language ... or work two or three
jobs may not be as attentive to
their childrens education, said
Yolie Flores, a Los Angeles
school board member at the time
the photos surfaced last year; she
voted then to fire Berndt.
California Federation of Teach-
ers president Joshua Pechthalt
said vigilance can be harder in
large schools like Miramonte.
When you create schools that
are so large, students can get lost
academically and emotionally,
and teachers can get lost, he
said.
Parents, current and former
students, residents and others
say there are no easy answers.
As far as anyone knows at this
point, one parent showed a for-
mer principal a photo of his child
eatinga cookie, andtwogirls told
a counselor that Berndt often
moved his hands under his desk
near his lap.
School officials did not find the
complaints serious enough to re-
port to law enforcement. Anoth-
er girl reported that Berndt fon-
dled her in 1993, but prosecutors
dropped the case for insufficient
evidence.
Lawyers for the dozens of
plaintiffs now filing claims
against the school district for al-
leged abuse say that the children
largely didnt see anything wrong
with the games played in
Berndts classroomand that they
were happy to have the teachers
attention.
Teacher arrests may hamper progress at elementary school in L.A.
Test scores were rising until
photos showed schoolchildren
blindfolded and gagged.

EASTON Defense attorneys
are questioning an eastern Penn-
sylvaniajudgesdecisiontoconvict
a woman on a lesser charge after
she hadbeenacquittedby a jury in
a drunken driving case.
Northampton County Judge
Michael Koury convicted 25-year-
oldJessica Trump last week of the
lesser DUI count shortly after a ju-
ry cleared her on a second-offense
drunken driving charge.
Trump testified she wasnt the
driver of the car spotted double-
parked by police in Freemansburg
in July. Trump and other witness-
es said she had gotten in the driv-
ers seat to retrieve some bags
whenthedesignateddriver for the
evening was unlocking the house.
But thejudgesaidhedidnt believe
their story. Trump is to be sen-
tenced March 30.
Gary Asteak of Easton, former
president of the Pennsylvania As-
sociation of Criminal Defense
Lawyers, called the decision
shocking and told The (Allen-
town) Morning Call that he be-
lieves the conviction will be over-
turned on appeal.
I couldnt believe my eyes, As-
teaksaidof readingabout thedeci-
sion.
John Waldron, a former prose-
cutor turned defense attorney,
saidsurprisewas alsohis reaction,
since judges usually defer to deci-
sions by juries in deciding lesser
charges.
Twelve people heard the wit-
nesses, 12 people deliberated and
12 people came backunanimously
and made the call, Waldron said.
In my experience, judges usually
followwhat the jury did.
Koury convicted Trump of a
general-impairment DUI charge, a
minor misdemeanor. Under the
law, thoseaccusedof offensespun-
ishable by a maximum of six
months in prison are not entitled
toa jury. Koury saidthe charge fell
under that provision since it can
bring five days to six months in
prison, and a suspended license of
a year.
Koury declinedcomment tothe
paper Thursday, saying the judi-
cial code barred him from talking
about a pending case.
Juror RichardChilcoat Sr. of Le-
high Township said the panel felt
prosecutors had failed to prove
that Trump was the driver. But he
said he didnt feel that the judge
overruled the jury in his decision.
I just think he felt that with the
other charge, he had some lever-
age to do something, Chilcoat
said.
Prosecutors said it was their job
toseekaconvictionandthejudges
decisionwascorrectdespitetheju-
rys acquittal.
Couldthejudgehavefoundher
not guilty because of the jurys
finding? asked District Attorney
John Morganelli. Sure, he could
have, but thejudgehas theright to
rule on those cases.
Defense attorney Jason Jenkins
has vowed to appeal. He said he
wouldarguetotheSuperior Court
that the judge shouldnt have de-
cidedthelessercharge, andthathe
afterward erred in finding her
guilty.
Somehow 12 of her peers can
vindicate her, which should be a
happy moment, and instead it
turned into a nightmare for her,
Jenkins said. There are times
when youre a lawyer and you
think to yourself, Man, there is
just no justice.

Rights come to us from God.
Governments one job is to protect
those rights.
Rick Santorum
The presidential hopeful wants conservatives to go
with the Republican candidate who presents the
clearest contrast with Obama.
R
ECENTLY, THESyr-
ian government car-
riedout the most sav-
age reprisals against
its opponents since the recent
uprising began. More than200
people are thought to have
been killed by artillery, tanks
and mortars in Homs.
The country over which
Bashar al-Assad presides has
become the most violent in
the Middle East.
Such a threat to stability in
one of the worlds most vola-
tile regions demands anappro-
priate response from the U.N.
Security Council. Yet that
body remains neutered by a
RussianandChinese refusal to
accept what they see as undue
interference in domestic af-
fairs. On the very day of the
Homs massacre, the two ve-
toed a resolution that support-
ed an Arab League plan calling
for Assad to hand over power
to his vice president and for a
government of national unity
to be formed, followed by elec-
tions.
What can be done in the
wake of what British Foreign
Secretary William Hague de-
scribed as the U.N.s hour of
shame?
U.S. Secretary of State Hill-
ary Clinton, his American
counterpart, has proposed
that friends of democratic Sy-
ria should coordinate assist-
ance to Assads opponents, on
the lines of the recently dis-
solved Contact Group on Li-
bya. Even if it rules out direct
military intervention, such a
group should consider supply-
ing weapons to the Free Syrian
Army.
All the evidence suggests
that force alone will end As-
sads misrule.

WORLD OPINION
Without military help
Assads rule wont end
W
HEN CHINA
joined hands with
Russia to veto an
Arab-European
draft U.N. resolution backing
an Arab League plan to pro-
mote a regime change in Syria,
its stance was consistent with
its approachtointernational is-
sues.
The draft resolution that
sought to realize a regime
change in Syria did not ade-
quately reflect the state of af-
fairs in this Middle East coun-
try.
In putting the resolution to
the vote, Western powers
hopedtofurther exert pressure
on Syrian President Bashar al-
Assad to step down, thus pav-
ingthe way for the removal of a
regime that is an obstacle to
their policies in the Middle
East.
By only exerting pressure on
the Syrian government and ex-
plicitly trying to coerce its
leader al-Assad to step down,
the resolution sends the mess-
age to armed groups and oppo-
nents of his regime that they
havethesupport of theinterna-
tional community.
It is not a question of wheth-
er al-Assad should step down
or not. It is whether the ever-
worsening crisis in the country
will be brought to an end in
such a way that the country
will not be plunged into a sec-
tarian civil war and its people
plunged into even greater mi-
sery.

A misguided message
A
TTHEHEARTof the
HIV disclosure case
before the Supreme
Court of Canada is
the notion that those infected
have a right to privacy and au-
tonomy a right that manifes-
ts itself in not having to tell a
prospective sex partner that
they have HIV: If the infected
individuals are receiving effec-
tive treatment or if they use a
condom, its their right to re-
main, as it were, silent.
This is a misguided view of
individual rights. Autonomy
should not give people with in-
curable illnesses the right to
put others at risk. Privacy
should not mean that infected
individuals may bypass con-
sent, without which sex be-
comes sexual assault. Rights
do not exist in a vacuum. Indi-
viduals have obligations, too,
and those include the obliga-
tion not to physically hurt oth-
ers, andnot to willfully or reck-
lessly spread disease.
The onus belongs on those
infected with HIV, not on their
sexual partners. That is an
onus that this countrys HIV
advocates do not want to ac-
cept. If their view holds sway,
many people would be left ex-
posed to the possibility of life-
altering disease, and the vul-
nerable would be especially at
risk.

Council members who
said no merit praise
I
congratulate Edward Brominski, Rick
Morelli, Stephen J. Urban, Stephen A.
Urban and Rick Williams for having the
courage and the insight to defend the
rights of the Luzerne County taxpayers by
voting no to the proposed 2 percent tax
increase.
The mandate for the new government
was to provide protection and relief from a
failed and poorly run system of political
pandering. Yes, this county is saddled with
massive debt and, in my opinion, it must
be relieved by union concessions, expense
reduction and more efficient processes of
conducting business. To saddle the tax-
payers with this additional burden is out of
line, especially in light of additional reduc-
tions left without negotiation.
Further, we have seen the same old
threats and political jockeying come from
certain departments. Keep in mind that
these individuals are the same players who
sat idly in positions of responsibility when
the scandalous amounts of debt were accu-
mulated. I find any reference to litigation
or resisting reductions an egregious of-
fense.
So, I say to the gang of six who voted
for the 2 percent tax increase Harry
Haas, Elaine Maddon Curry, Jim Bobeck,
Tim McGinley, Linda McClosky Houck
and Eugene Kelleher two cents would be
too much in light of the recent years of
double-digit increases and the mandate
that you were given by us, your employer.
I am certain that all 11 council members
will be remembered for very different
reasons come next election.

Grieving Mountain Top
dad deserves sympathy
I
n reference to the front-page article on
Dan Madry (Dad cited near sons me-
morial, Feb. 4):
I am a Mountain Top resident. I know
none of the individuals mentioned in this
article personally. I, of course, know of
Brian Madry and his family due to the
unfortunate night this past summer the
night two parents lost their child, and two
brothers lost their older brother.
It is heartbreaking to me that anyone
would find fault in this father walking
anywhere near the very place he knows is
where his son lost his life. It makes me sick
to even try to wrap my thoughts around
someone stooping so low as to photograph
and/or fine this dad with a broken heart.
Perhaps none of you understand the
process of grieving. There are five steps
you must mentally and physically go
through to reach acceptance. How dare
anyone interfere with the way this man is
dealing with his loss, as long as he is not
hurting anyone.
Think about this family who lives every
day longing for one more hug, one more
laugh, one more conversation with Brian.
I cant imagine the loss of a child. I have
three; they are my world, my entire being.
I pray this family can somehow find
peace. If being near the site where you feel
your sons presence comforts you, I pray
the vicious people who find fault with that
will replace their ignorance with human
compassion.

Suicide awareness can
help save someones life
P
eople sometimes hear the word sui-
cide and cringe. I do the same, but
educating yourself about suicide does
not mean you condone it.
I have observed mental illness. It is real
and it is scary. When people are in a low
mental state and cannot escape their
thoughts, they might seek drastic mea-
sures to escape those thoughts.
When that same person is surrounded
by people who are aware, it creates a sup-
port system. This support can provide
encouragement, love, understanding and a
connection to outside resources. This is
why suicide awareness is extremely impor-
tant.
No one should ever have to feel he or
she has no other option but to die. Make
the effort to educate yourself and others.
You might just find yourself saving a life.

Reader sounds caution
over abortion services
P
lanned Parenthood Federation of
America has adopted a new patient
services initiative that will require all
of its affiliates to operate at least one abor-
tion center by 2013.
In light of this, I am very concerned that
the two Planned Parenthood offices in the
area have changed their names to the
Wilkes-Barre Medical Center and the
Scranton Medical Center. Will we be see-
ing an abortion clinic soon in Northeastern
Pennsylvania? I hope and pray this never
happens.
Despite the efforts to publicize the non-
abortion related services within the
Planned Parenthood Federation, it is clear
that the driving force behind the business
is abortion.
My question: Why did Sen. Bob Casey
vote to continue funding Planned Parent-
hood, the largest abortion provider in this
country? And before someone tries to say
that the money given by the federal gov-
ernment is kept separate, I beg to differ.
This money is fungible, meaning that
every dollar the government gives Planned
Parenthood for other services, e.g. cancer
screenings, frees up money for it to spend
on abortions.
Mechanisms to segregate public from
private funds are mere accounting gim-
micks and funding schemes.

Photo-enforced traffic
laws draw questions
T
he letter to the editor about red-light
cameras (Cameras can discourage
runners of red lights, Feb. 3) was from
people representing a group supported by
a camera manufacturer.
The state House Transportation Com-
mittee held a hearing on Nov. 14, 2011
about this topic. One person testifying
works for two companies that do consult-
ing work or install cameras.
Jim Walker, representing the National
Motorists Association in opposing cam-
eras, was given about five minutes to
speak. The Philadelphia police, in whose
city cameras currently are used, were not
called to testify.
Richard Retting testified that at six ap-
proaches to two intersections, the yellow
light durations were lengthened by 1 sec-
ond and that this reduced violations by 36
percent. This shows the timings were
inadequate previously, but they are still
way too short, as violations should have
decreased 60 to 90 percent.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in
October that city data was reviewed and
that crashes are up 12 to 15 percent at
intersections that have had the cameras for
one year or more.
The bad crashes are when people are
impaired or distracted and enter 2 to 5
seconds after the red signal, which this
system will not stop. These cameras snag
people who drive safely, because when a
yellow is short, you cannot stop in time.
You also might get a ticket for a non-com-
plete stop while turning right on a red or
stopping in the wrong place. Best engi-
neering practices do not seem to be a pri-
ority.
The Legislature is handling this issue as
a banana republic would, thereby opening
up the possibility of legal challenges.
I urge you to contact your state elected
officials and tell them to oppose photo-
enforced traffic laws.

traintheir horses inthestate. And
while the industry has been dry-
ing up in some states, such as
New Jersey, its been growing in
Pennsylvania, he said.
Carmine Fusco sawthat Mohe-
gan Sun at Pocono Downs in
Plains Township was one of the
top racetracks in the country and
that top breeders and owners
were flocking to the state.
He got a group of investors to-
gether a couple of years agoandis
set toopenhis$5millionCambria
Farm equine training center in
Wind Gap less than 60 miles
from both Pocono Downs and
Harrahs Chester Casino and
Racetrack on March 1.
This influx of (slot) money
was promised and granted. You
drewthe top owners here, the top
bred horses sold last year were
Pennsylvania-bred, Fusco said.
For the governor to turn around
and do this its almost like false
advertisement. Come to PA,
were offering this Drivers,
owners, breeders, you pull them
all in and, once they get here, you
pull the carpet out.
Salerno said its not only own-
ers of stables and equine training
centers who will be hurt if racers
start shyingawayfromPennsylva-
nia because of smaller winners
purses. Local blacksmiths, local
veterinarians, feed mills, saw
mills, mechanics theyve all
made big investments here, he
said.
I put a lot of money into the ar-
ea. But if the plug gets pulled, I
wont be able to continue and Ill
havetofindsomewhereelsetogo.
I like it here. But without the rac-
ing at the level its been at, I wont
be able to stay. If the purses go
away, that will dry up a lot of my
business, says Salerno, who now
boards horses from Canada, Flor-
ida, New Jersey and elsewhere.
Ron Battoni, executive director
of the Pennsylvania Harness
Horsemens Association, said
cuts to the Horse Race Develop-
ment Fundwill meanasignificant
decrease in purses that are used
to pay everyone from black-
smiths to veterinarians to stable
hands.
Trainers and owners who
brought their horses and busi-
nesses to Pennsylvania with the
expectation of competing for a
certainlevel of purses aregoingto
pull up stakes and make their in-
vestments elsewhere. Sadly, they
wont be back, because they are
not goingtohaveanyfaithor trust
in our elected officials, Battoni
said.
HORSES
Continued from Page 3A
ued to rise.
The countyspent $63.9million
on employees in 2009 and $66.4
million in 2010, county figures
show.
Most of the multimillion-dol-
lar increases have stemmed from
union-related costs.
While salaries for non-union
workers hovered around $10 mil-
lion the last three years, the
union payroll has increased from
$30.6 million in 2009 to $35.6
million in 2011, county figures
show.
County Interim Manager Tom
Pribula said the county is headed
in the right direction because
overall spending on employees
will decline about $1.3 million to
a projected $67.6 million this
year under the 2012 budget slat-
ed for county council adoption
Tuesday.
Most of the employee savings
this year are from an estimated
56 layoffs, recent retirements and
the elimination of several elected
row officer posts under the new
home rule government.
Some county council members
have made it clear they will be ex-
pecting employee cooperation
and concessions, particularly
from unions, to continue reduc-
ing payroll costs.
There will be tidal waves of
changes that come into this cour-
thouse, and the council is push-
ing for this to happen, said
County Council Chairman Jim
Bobeck. The county work force
better be ready for this.
Discretionary spending
At first glance, staffing costs
equated to 55 percent of the
$124.2 million the county spent
last year.
But Pribula said the percent-
age is closer to 82 percent when
nondiscretionary costs are ex-
cluded from the budget. These
include debt repayments, insur-
ance and state-required matches
for the community college and
human service agencies, which
amounted to at least $40.5 mil-
lion in 2011.
The countyis projectedtohave
$80.6 million in expenses this
year after fixed costs are segre-
gated from the $122.6 million
amended budget, county figures
show.
That means the county will
spend close to 84 percent of its
controllable budget on employ-
ees this year.
Many county managers and
workers have bemoaned the un-
fairness of penalizing employees
over fixed costs, particularly
debt, but Pribula said its a reality
that wont change in the immedi-
ate future.
The county cant lower its allo-
cations to departments such as
Drug and Alcohol and Children
and Youth because the matches
are required to obtain state and
federal funding that pays for the
lions share of these services,
Pribula said.
Asubsidy of roughly $6 million
for Luzerne County Community
College is required by law to
match other funding.
Repayments on the countys
more than $400 million in out-
standing debt may eventually
shrink, but not for years, Pribula
said. The county must demon-
strate fiscal strength over time to
obtain a credit rating to refinance
debt, and many bonds have high-
er interest rates locked in for sev-
eral years, he said.
Those fixed costs arent going
togoaway, sothe onlythingtodo
is manage the payroll-related
costs, Pribula said. If you cant
grow revenue, you have to man-
age them.
Pressure on unions
Some county council members
have been pressing unions to reo-
pen contracts and give up some-
thing in a spirit of cooperation.
Council is unable tochange the
terms of most union contracts at
this time because nine of the 11
collective bargaining agreements
are lockedinuntil the endof 2013
or 2014.
Contracts covering court-relat-
ed workers and detectives ex-
pired Dec. 31 and are up for re-
newal, and both have the option
to seek binding arbitration. Past
county officials have complained
about awards granted to unions
through binding arbitration.
Inlieuof immediate unioncon-
cessions, Councilman Rick Mo-
relli had proposed forcing non-
union workers to take a 10-day
furlough, but most of his col-
leagues said it would be unfair to
target only non-union workers.
No unions have committed to
reopen unexpired contracts to
see if a majority of members
would be willing to give up raises
an option proposed by council.
Pribula said some of the bene-
fits awarded to certain groups of
employees must go, including
length-of-service bonuses known
as longevity payments and uni-
formallowances for workers who
dont have to wear special uni-
forms.
Uniform allowances totaled
$169,380 last year, including
$12,150 for domestic relations,
$32,850 for probation services
and$21,450for theDistrict Attor-
neys Office.
Longevity bonuses cost the
county $466,453 last year and are
projected to increase $510,200
this year.
The largest longevity payouts
last year went to probation ser-
vices $145,500 and the prison
-- $119,500.
Longevity bonuses also up in-
flate the countys costs toward
Social Security and Medicare,
Pribula said. He estimated the
county would save an additional
$50,000 in these taxes by doing
away with $500,000 in longevity
bonuses.
Cross-training options
One tangible way to cut em-
ployee costs is already being dis-
cussed by county officials -- cross
training workers who have the
same job title within the same
union so they are able to work in
multiple departments as needed.
Pribula said this shouldnt vio-
late union agreements as long as
workers perform work within
their job classifications and bar-
gaining units. He has repeatedly
emphasized the need to change
the mentality that departments
run solo, saying all employees
work for teamLuzerne County.
County Controller Walter Grif-
fith concurs, saying the countys
nearly 50 departments must start
working as one.
There are 50 islands in the
county. Everybodys all by them-
selves doing their own thing, and
nobody communicates, he said.
Thecontroller saidmanycoun-
ty departments have busy peri-
ods and lulls. Workers who have
free time in one office should be
required to chip in and help in an-
other office, whether its scan-
ning records and filing docu-
ments or waiting on a line of cus-
tomers, he said.
Griffith said hes planning to
complete performance audits on
eachdepartment tohelppinpoint
appropriate minimum staffing
levels. If departments routinely
complete essential work while a
significant number of employees
are off on vacation and sick days,
its a sign departments are over-

If youre supposed to have 15
people ina department andnever
have 15 actually working most of
the time, then do you really need
15 people in the first place? Grif-
fith said.
Sharingstaff andconsolidating
departments will be easier with
home rule, Bobeck said.
One of the primary purposes
of home rule was to knock down
the barriers that separate elected
officials andvarious departments
and divisions. Its a step that ab-
solutely needs to happen, he
said. The countys whole system
is completely outdated.
County managers must buy in-
to this philosophy because coun-
cil members cant raise taxes ev-
ery year, Bobeck said.
If they cant find ways to make
this happen, then the natural cor-
ollary is forced budgetary cuts
that almost mandate that type of
shared work, Bobeck said.

The release of Obamas
spending plan for the budget
year that begins Oct. 1 marks
the official start to an election-
year budget battle over taxes
and spending as the nations
debt tops $15 trillion.
Republicans on Sunday criti-
cized the document for its pro-
posals to increase spending in
such areas as infrastructure and
for its tax increases.
House Republicans will put
forward a sharp alternative to
Obamas plan that will provide
deficit reduction through an
overhaul of Medicare and other
programs and without tax in-
creases.
Were taking responsibility
for the drivers of our debt, said
the chairman of the House Bud-
get Committee, Rep. Paul Ryan,
R-Wis. So when the dust settles
and people see actually what
were doing, how were promot-
ing bipartisan solutions.
The presidents plan is laden
with stimulus-style initiatives,
like sharp increases for highway
construction, school modern-
ization, and a new tax credit for
businesses that add jobs. But it
avoids sacrifice, with only mini-
mal curbs on the unsustainable
growth of Medicare even as it
slaps a 10-year, $61 billion fi-
nancial crisis responsibility fee
on big banks to recoup the 2008
Wall Street bailout.
The budget, administration
officials say, borrows heavily
from Obamas September sub-
mission to a congressional def-
icit supercommittee assigned
tocome upwithat least $1.2 tril-
lion in deficit savings as part of
last summers budget-and-debt
pact that avoided a first-ever
U.S. default on its obligations.
Obamas plan predicts deficit
savings of more than $4 trillion
over a decade, mixing $1trillion
already banked through last
summers clampdown on agen-
cy operating budgets with $1.5
trillion in higher tax revenues
reaped from an overhaul of the
tax code. It also claims savings
from reduced war costs and
takes just a nip at federal health
care .
BUDGET
sumer products such as plastics
andfertilizer.
Last month, ChesapeakeEnergy
of Oklahoma City said it is reduc-
ingthenumberof newdrygasdrill-
ing rigs from 47 to 24 this year. In
addition, it immediately cut exist-
ing production by about 500 mil-
lion cubic feet per day, adding that
if lowprices persist, it may double
the cut, to 1 billion cubic feet per
day.
The company saidthat about 85
percent of its nationwide drilling
expenditures this year will be to-
wardthe more profitable wet gas.
A spokesman for Chesapeake
Industryreportsnotethatthena-
tional count of active newgas drill-
ingrigsfell to775inearlyFebruary,
downfromabout1,500in2008.
Yet Klaber saidthat thelowpric-
es create opportunities for more
people and industries to use the
product. For example, some drill-
ing companies are focusing more
ontheso-calledwet gasthat sells
for a higher price because it canbe
transformedby refineries intocon-
didntrespondtoarequestforcom-
ment.
Experts say the companies have
ways to cushionthe lowprices. Its
called hedging, and business peo-
ple have used such tools for hun-
dredsif notthousandsof years, said
Sara Moeller, a professor of busi-
ness at the University of Pitts-
burgh.
When you put a hedge on,
yourelockinginoneof yourprices,
because youre happy with that
price, said Moeller, who has also
workedas a commodities trader.
Forexample, Houston-basedCa-
botOil&GasCorp. saidlastmonth
that it received$5.17 per thousand
cubic feet of natural gas on some
hedged deliveries in the final quar-
ter of 2011. Yet the market price at
thetimewas$3.18perthousandcu-
bic feet.
Moeller said such deals are pos-
sible because large consumers of
commodities also want to reduce
priceswings, suchasutilitycompa-
nies. Locking in prices limits their
exposure tosuddenjumps.
Its done by a simple, registered
trade on stock exchanges. People
essentiallybuyandsell thehedges,
setting varying prices for different
points inthe future.
GAS
drive up costs because birth con-
trol, similar to other preventative
care measures, is less expensive
thanpregnancy. But opponents say
that unless drug makers stop
charging for contraception, the
cost islikelytoget passedontoem-
ployers regardless.
While some Catholic groups ap-
plauded the move, including the
Catholic Health Association, the
nations Catholic bishops said it
continued the attack religious free-
domsathemequicklypickedup
byRepublicanstryingtowrest con-
trol of the White House this No-
vember.
Theres no compromise here,
saidGOPpresidential hopeful Rick
Santorum, a Catholic and favorite
among religious conservatives.
They are forcing religious organi-
zations, either directly or indirect-
ly, to pay for something that they
find is a deeply, morally, you know,
wrong thing. And this is not what
the government should be doing.
In several televised interviews,
White House chief of staff Jacob
Lewdefendedthelatest planas the
best possible compromise to pro-
vide women access to contracep-
tives and respect the religious free-
doms of employers. Churches had
always been exempt under Oba-
mas original plan, although reli-
gious-affiliated organizations were
not.
Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., has
calledObamas revisedplananac-
countinggimmick. Heintroduced
legislationlast weekthat wouldex-
empt any organization with moral
objections from providing birth
control. McConnell saidheexpects
such a bill would be vetoed by the
president but that he still wanted a
vote as soon as possible.
House Budget Committee
Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan said
there were enough votes in the
GOP-controlledHousetopasssim-
ilar legislation.
Lew shrugged off questions
about Senate legislation, predict-
ing that they would not come to

DETROIT The Detroit Red
Wings equaled an NHL record with
their 20th straight win at home,
beating the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3
Sunday night on the strength of Jo-
han Franzens tiebreaking goal early
in the third period.
The league mark was set by the
Boston Bruins during the 1929-30
seasonandmatchedbyPhiladelphia
in1976. Detroit canbreakthe record
with a win Tuesday night over the
Dallas Stars at Joe Louis Arena.
Philadelphia rookie Brayden
Schenn had a career-high two goals,
helping the Flyers take the first of
two leads they couldnt keep against
a teamthat hasnt lost at home since
Nov. 3 against Calgary.
Detroit goalie Joey MacDonald
overcame shaky clearing attempts
that led to two goals and finished
with 26 saves.
Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 21
shots for the Flyers.
Bobrovskys head was on a swivel
in the opening minute of the third
period when Henrik Zetterberg and
Nicklas Lidstrom made diagonal
passes to set up Franzen in front of
the net for his 22nd goal.
Bobrovsky got a break moments
later when Valtteri Filppula deked
him and lifted a shot over the open
net.
The Flyers went on the power
play midway through the third but
couldnt tie the game.
They pulled Bobrovsky with just
more thana minute left toaddanex-
tra skater, but he had to go back in
net briefly when Franzen got to a
loose puck and Kimmo Timonen
was called for holding him.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.
He knew his game was getting
close, and he broke through
with flair Sunday in the Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am.
That turned out to be Phil
Mickelson, not Tiger Woods.
In a big, big way.
Mickelson went from a six-
shot deficit to a two-shot lead in
just six holes, closed with an 8-
under 64 for a two-shot victory
over Charlie Wi and gave Woods
a Sunday thrashing not many
saw coming.
Mickelson and Woods played
in the second-to-last group, and
Mickelson beat him by 11 shots.
He won for the fourth time at
Pebble Beach, and became only
the ninth player in PGA Tour
history with 40 wins.
Pebble Beach ... it feels awe-
some no matter what number it
is, Mickelson said.
It was anything but that for
Woods, who was reduced to a
supporting role on a cool, over-
cast day along the Pacific. Right
whenit lookedas thoughWoods
might still be in the game after
holing a bunker shot for birdie
on the par-3 12th, Mickelson an-
swered by pouring in a 30-foot
par putt.
Mickelson seized control for
good with a 40-foot par save on
the 15th hole, and he played it
safe Mickelson is capable of
that every once in a while on
the18thholeandstill madebird-
ie.
Wi, who started the final
round with a three-shot lead,
four-putted for double bogey on
the opening hole and never
quite recovered. He closed with
back-to-back birdies for an even-
par 72 and his fifth runner-up
finish on tour.
It was the third straight week
on tour that the winner started
the final round at least six shots
behinda 54-hole leader going af-
ter his first tour victory.
The shocker, though, was
how Woods fell apart.
He has beentakingbigstrides
with his game over the past few

PEORIA, Ariz. Spring
training is officially under way
with Seattles pitchers and catch-
ers holding their first workout.
The center of attention for the
brief Sunday morning session
under a bright blue sky at the
Peoria Sports Complex was the
teams newest import from Ja-
pan.
Right-hander Hisashi Iwaku-
ma did a small amount of run-
ning and a little defensive work.
He will throw off the mound for
the first time on Monday.
It felt really easy, he said
through an interpreter, because
in Japan we spend like two
hours for the warmup in Japan.
We have a lot of stuff to do, even
the fundamentals.
The Mariners and Iwakuma
agreed to a one-year, $1.5 mil-
lion contract last month, plus a
little over $3 million in incen-
tives. He joins a franchise al-
ready popular in Japan because
of the presence of that countrys
superstar, Ichiro.
Seattle started spring training
a week ahead of other teams be-
cause it will open its season
early, on March 28 in Japan
against Oakland. The Athletics
chose not to begin spring train-
ing early. Their first workout at
their facility in Phoenix is sched-
uled for next Sunday.

S P O R T S
Division I championship game
against first-half champ Pittston
Area.
ValleyWest plays hard, Crest-
wood coach Isiah Walker said af-
ter a 59-52 Spartans win last
week. They came at us with sev-
en girls most of the game.
ValleyWest coachCurt Lloydis
obviously proud of his squad,
which has won its last six games
and 11 of 13 since a 4-3 start. He
cites the work of his seniors -- an-
other trio which has combined to
average 31 points per game -- as
key to this group coming togeth-
er.
I have three quality seniors on
this team, Lloyd said. They
have had to share the load, and
they have really come through
showingsenior leadership. I cant
say enough about them.
Zdancewicz is the teams top
scorer (17.3 ppg) and an inside
presence on the boards with her
5-foot-10 frame. Smicherko has
made29of theSpartans 46three-
pointers this season and Reilly
works as a defensive presence.
Their dedication has rubbed
off, as sophomore guard Cassie
Smicherko has raised her scoring
to6.6ppgover thepast sevencon-
tests. The tallest player on the
team, 6-1 sophomore Olivia Hoff-
man, hashadher best twoscoring
games just last week.
Freshmen Tara Judge and
Megan Kane have combined to
score 40 of their 75 total points in
the past four games. And the
Spartans havecontinuedwinning
despite an injury to sparkplug
Cheyenne Reese, who was ave-
raging 7 ppg in the five games be-
fore she was hurt.
I cant say enough about all
these kids, Lloyd said. With all
theyve beenthrough, this season
has gone by quickly, but theyve
adapted to everything.
WOLFE EMERGES -- Katie
Wolfe was one of the top players
for Nanticoke coming into this
season, but has emergedas alead-
er in the wake of Teresa Kalinays
departure fromthe team.
Seemingly a third option offen-
sively for the Lady Trojans early
in the season, Wolfe has been
their leading scorer since Kali-
nays exit.
Inthefirst gameafter theroster
shakeup, Wolfe scored a career-
best 27 points against West
Scranton. She has had at least
nine points in every game since,
and has averaged 17.3 ppg in her
past six contests.
WVC PICTURE -- The WVC
could see playoffs in Division I
and III.
While Division I was refer-
enced before, Division III has
Lake-Lehman a game ahead of
Nanticoke and Northwest. The
Black Knights travel to Shick-
shinny to face the Rangers to-
night, then face Wyoming Semi-
nary.
While Northwest controls its
destiny, Nanticoke has games at
Meyers and Hanover Area re-
maining.
NOTES
Continued fromPage 1B
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Tim
Hardaway Jr. scored 15 points
and Evan Smotrycz added 13,
helping No. 22 Michigan remain
unbeaten at home with a 70-61
win over Illinois on Sunday.
Trey Burke added 14 points
for the Wolverines (19-7, 9-4 Big
Ten), but it was Smotrycz and
Hardaway who provided a big
lift by shaking off their shooting
slumps in the first half. Harda-
way entered the game shooting
19 percent from 3-point range in
conference play. Smotrycz
wasnt much better at 24 per-
cent, but they each went 2 for 2
from beyond the arc before
halftime.
Brandon Paul led Illinois
(16-9, 5-7) with 21 points and
Tyler Griffey added 18. The
Fighting Illini have lost six of
seven and are on the NCAA
tournament bubble despite wins
over Ohio State and Michigan
State.
Georgetown 71, St. Johns 61
WASHINGTON Freshman
forward Greg Whittington
scored a career-high 12 points,
and No. 12 Georgetown hit
clutch 3-pointers down the
stretch in a win over St. Johns.
Whittington, Jason Clark and
Markel Starks all hit 3s in the
final 6 minutes to counter the
Red Storms momentum in a
game in which Georgetown
never trailed but also never
led by double digits until the
final 5 seconds.
Five players scored in double
figures for the Hoyas (19-5, 9-4),
who moved into sole possession
of fourth place in the Big East
and bounced back from an over-
time loss at Syracuse on
Wednesday.

with 39 seconds to go that tied
the game at 63, for West Virgin-
ia (18-6, 8-3 Big East).
Skyler Diggins had 32 points
for Notre Dame (24-2, 11-1), who
came into the game leading the
nation at 83.2 points per game.
Diggins missed a contested
layup that could have tied the
score with less than 10 seconds
to play. She fouled Hampton at
midcourt as she went for a steal
with 4.6 seconds to go.

Wolverines remain
undefeated at home
NEW YORK Ryan Call-
ahan scored for the fifth time
in four days and defenseman
Ryan McDonagh snapped a
second-period tie to lift the
New York Rangers to a 3-2
victory over the Washington
Capitals on Sunday.
Callahan, who notched his
second NHL hat trick Sat-
urday with three goals in a 5-2
win at Philadelphia, got the
Eastern Conference leaders
going on Sunday in the first
period. McDonagh gave New
York a 2-1 lead with 6:39 left
in the second with his fifth of
the season, and Brandon Prust
snapped a 48-game drought
with a short-handed tally in
the third.
Henrik Lundqvist did the
rest, making 24 saves to earn
his second win in two days
and setting New York up for a
showdown with the Stanley
Cup champion Bruins on
Tuesday.
Panthers 4, Islanders 1
UNIONDALE, N.Y. Kris
Versteeg, Tomas Fleischmann,
Tyson Strachan and Jack Skille
scored to lift the Florida Pan-
thers to a win over the New
York Islanders.
Floridas Jose Theodore
made 26 saves in his first
appearance since Jan. 20 after
suffering a knee injury.
The Panthers quick-strike
offense supported Theodore
with two goals off faceoffs and
four unanswered goals overall
to erase a 1-0 deficit.
Frans Nielsen scored the
Islanders goal on the teams
first shot at 3:35 of the first.
Fleischmann and Versteeg
each finished with two points.
Ducks 5, Blue Jackets 3
COLUMBUS, Ohio Corey
Perry scored three goals for
his fifth career hat trick
and second against Columbus
this season to lead the
surging Anaheim Ducks past
the Blue Jackets.
Bobby Ryan had a goal and
an assist, and Ryan Getzlaf
added three assists for the
Ducks. Jason Blake also
scored for Anaheim, which
was playing the second game
of a season-long, eight-game
road trip.
The 41-year-old Teemu Se-
lanne, who leads Anaheim in
points in his 20th season,
picked up an assist to tie Brett
Hull for 21st on the NHLs
career list with 1,391 points.
Fedor Tyutin had a goal and
an assist, and Aaron Johnson
and Antoine Vermette also
scored for the last-place Blue
Jackets, who had won three of
four but were mostly sloppy in
the second of back-to-back
games.
Kings 4, Stars 2
DALLAS Jordan Nolan
and Dwight King each scored
their first career goal and the
Los Angeles Kings beat the
Dallas Stars in a matchup of
Western Conference playoff
contenders.
With the game tied at 2,
Nolan skated hard to the net
and fired Mike Richards cen-
tering pass by Stars goalie
Kari Lehtonen at 11:29 of the
third period.
Nolan and King were both
called up from Manchester of
the AHL on Feb. 10. Nolan
was playing in his second
NHL game, King his eighth.
Jonathan Quick stopped 26
shots, Andrei Loktionov had a
power-play goal and Anze
Kopitar added two assists for
the Kings, who completed a
2-3-1 road trip.
Justin Williams added an
empty-netter with 2.1 seconds
left for Los Angeles.
Penguins 4, Lightning 2
PITTSBURGH Evgeni
Malkin continued his torrid
play, scoring his 31st and 32nd
goals of the season as the
Pittsburgh Penguins rallied
past the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Chris Kunitz and Kris Le-
tang each added a goal and
two assists for the Penguins,
who have won six straight at
home. James Neal chipped in
three assists as Pittsburgh
kept Tampa Bay star Steven
Stamkos in check.
The NHLs leading goal
scorer was held pointless and
mustered just one shot against
Pittsburghs Brent Johnson,
who overcame some early
jitters to make 21 saves.
Steve Downie scored twice
in an 11-second span in the
first period for Tampa Bay, but
the Penguins roared back from
a two-goal deficit for the sec-
ond time in two days behind
Malkin.
N H L R O U N D U P
Callahan scores again in NY win
TORONTO Kobe Bryant
hit a baseline jumper with 4.2
seconds left and the Los An-
geles Lakers wrapped up a
six-game road trip by holding
on to beat the Raptors 94-92
on Sunday, their eighth victory
in nine meetings with Toronto
Bryant, who scored 27
points, took an inbound pass
from Metta World Peace and

arms of James Johnson to deny
the Raptors, who battled back
after trailing by as many as 18.
Down 93-92, Toronto blew
its best chance for a winning
shot when Rasual Butler
couldnt inbound the ball and
failed to call a timeout before 5
seconds had elapsed. Bryant
made one of two from the line
to put the Lakers up by two
with 3.7 seconds left. Jose
Calderon, who scored a career-
high 30 points, inbounded to
DeMar DeRozan for the final
possession, but he airballed his
potential tying shot at the
buzzer.
Celtics 95, Bulls 91
BOSTON Rajon Rondo
recorded a triple-double with
32 points, 15 assists and 10
rebounds to lead the Celtics
over the Chicago Bulls, who
were without star guard Der-
rick Rose.
Kevin Garnett added 13
points and 12 rebounds, re-
serve JaJuan Johnson had 12
points and Ray Allen 11 for the
Celtics, who snapped a two-
game skid. Rondo had season
highs in both points and as-
sists.
C.J. Watson, who started in
Roses spot, scored 22 points
for the Bulls, whose win streak
ended at five in the finale of a

Wizards 98, Pistons 77
AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
JaVale McGee had 22 points

Detroit entered on a season-
best four-game winning streak,
but saw it end when the Wiz-
ards went on a 22-2 run that
spanned the third and fourth
quarters.
Nick Young added 22 points
for the Wizards. Greg Monroe
had a game-high 27 for De-
troit.
Heat 107, Hawks 87
ATLANTA LeBron James
scored 23 points, Dwyane
Wade added 21 and the Miami
Heat blew out the Atlanta
Hawks after racing to a 22-
point lead at halftime.
The Heat made a big state-
ment in the Southeast Division
against the second-place
Hawks, leading by as many as
32 in what turned into nothing
more than a showcase for
Miamis Big Three.
By halftime, Wade already
had 21 points, James was roll-
ing along with 14 points and
nine rebounds, and Chris Bosh
put a double-double in the
books with 10 points and 10
rebounds. The Heat went to
the locker room with a com-
manding 63-41 advantage, the
Hawks having surrendered
their most points in a half this
season. Miami won for the
10th time in the last 12 games.

pound pitcher as he jogged light-
ly, then fielded some balls off the
mound.
This is the first time to wear
the uniform, Iwakuma said,
and Im really excited to play
with the pitchers and the catch-
ers and the fielders. Its really ex-
citing and I had fun for the prac-
tice today.
There is another new addition
from Japan in Seattles camp.
The Mariners signed shortstop
Munenori Kawasaki to a minor
league contract and he is a non-
roster invitee.
The games really changed,
Seattle manager Eric Wedge
said. It really is an international
game and you are combing the
international waters. Youre not
crossing anybody off. Obviously
we have strong ties with Japan
and Ichiros led the way with
that. I think its just healthy.
Weve got Iwakuma in camp,
weve got Kawasaki in camp, and
Ichi will be showing up pretty
soon as well. I think its very
healthy for the sport in general.
Iwakuma played with Ichiro
on Japans World Baseball Clas-
sic championship team in 2009,
where he was the starter in the
deciding game.
That competition followed
Iwakumas best season, 2008,
when he went 21-4 with a 1.87
ERA in 28 starts for Tohoku Ra-
kuten. He allowed just three
home runs that season in 202 2-3
innings, earning the Japanese
equivalent of the Cy Young
Award.
Iwakuma has said the World
Baseball Classic experience in
the United States fueled his de-
sire to come to the major
leagues. It nearly happened a
year ago, when the As reported-
ly were ready to give $19.1 mil-
lion to Rakuten just to have the
right to sign him. Talks broke
down with the As, though, and
Iwakuma returned to his Japa-
nese club last season, when a
shoulder injury limited him to 17
starts. He was 6-7 with a 2.42
ERA.
The Mariners have said they
are confident the shoulder has
healed, although the velocity of
his fastball has dipped a bit to
the low 90s. Iwakuma is a con-
trol pitcher anyway, relying on
groundouts rather than blowing
his fastball past anyone.
He had a lot of success in Ja-
pan as a starting pitcher, Wedge
said. He trusts his stuff, throws
multiple pitches for strikes and
throws the ball over. Hes aggres-
sive. He got a little dinged up last
year so were hopeful hes going
to be healthy this year for us.
Iwakuma became a free agent
after last season, and he signed
with the Mariners following a
December trip to Seattle that in-
cluded a long dinner with gener-
al manager Jack Zduriencik, who
convinced the pitcher how much
he was wanted in Seattle.
After he finished his workout
at the field at the far end of the
complex, Iwakuma stopped
again and again along the way
back to the clubhouse signing
autographs, surrounded by the
Japanese photographers snap-
ping away.
This is the first time to see a
lot of people around me, he
said, to talk and give thema sig-
nature.
Will he always be so accommo-
dating as the spring goes on?
Ill try to as much as I can,
Iwakuma said, as long as I have
the time.

Unfortunately, theres nothing
perfect about Tiger Woods any-
more.
He usedtothreatentomake
history every time he teedoff.
Nowhe just makes excuses, and
they all soundthe same.
He says hes at peace withhim-
self, andthat may well be true. Put
himina redshirt onSunday,
though, andthe demons seemto
all come back.
It happenedlast time out in
Dubai, whena mop-hairedEn-
glishmanwhohadwononly one
time inhis career staredhimdown
inthe final round. It happened
againonSunday at Pebble Beach,
where he seemedtobe tryingso
hardnot tofail that he gave him-
self nochance tosucceed.
Phil Mickelsonblewby himlike
Woods was playinginthe pro-am
insteadof teeingit upwiththe big
boys. Things got sobadyoual-
most wantedhimtomove upto
the forwardtees, where at least his
amateur partner Tony Romowas
findingsome success.
He walkedupthe18thfairway
tothe cheers everyone expected
whenthe day began. But they
were for Mickelson, whohad
walkedaheadof himafter stiffing
a wedge tothe final green.
It got worse. Mickelsonwas
already inthe hole for his final
round64whenWoods lippedout
one final short putt for a big, fat
75. He couldhave make that
shouldhave puttedout before
Mickelsontoavoidthe final em-
barrassment, but Woods never
really practicedthe proper eti-
quette for finishingout of conten-
tion.
For what seems like forever
nowweve beenaskingwhats
wrongwithTiger. Nowthe ques-
tionbecomes whats wrongwith
Tiger onSunday?
The recordbooks will showhe
lost by nine shots ina tournament
he trailedby only twoonthe final
day. Evenworse, he was thrashed
by Mickelson, his playingpartner,
by a stunning11shots.
Say what youwill about his
game gettingsomuchbetter that
he has beenincontentioninhis
four more recent tournaments.
This wouldhave never happened
tothe Tiger Woods of old.
He didnt always winonSun-
days, evenif it seemedthat way.
But he was never blownout the
way Mickelsondisposedof himon
a course where he was once un-
touchable.
AnythingI triedtodowasnt
working, Woods said. What was
frustratingwas I hada chance, all I
hadtodowas get off toa good,
solidstart today andI didnt do
that.
Actually, the start wasnt all that
bad. It was the middle, where
Woods missedtwoshort putts ina
rowandmade three bogeys ina
rowthat destroyedwhat little
chance he hadleft. By thenhis
body language hadconceded
defeat, evenif he hadnt.
Toput his roundinperspective,
only four of the 68players who
teedoff onthe final day shot
worse. Ona day Pebble Beachwas
there for the taking, Woods got
taken.
Andthenthe excuses began.
I didnt hit it as badas the score
indicated, but I puttedawful, he
said. I just couldnot see my lines.
I couldnt get comfortable.
For those keepingscore at
home, he hasnt wona real tourna-
ment (I dont count the16-man
invitational he hosts andwonin
December, thoughWoods does)
in27months; hasnt wononthe
PGATour in29months. Its been
nearly four years since he wonhis
last major at Torrey Pines, andhes
now36witha history of knee
issues.
That doesnt meanhes not
goingtowinagain. He surely will,
because hes still immensely tal-
ented. But those wins will come
sporadically insteadof inbunches,
the way they usedto.
The majors will be more prob-
lematic. Woods might still wina
Masters or two, if only because he
knows where toplay every shot,
every putt, at Augusta National.
He might pickupa stray British
Openor maybe a PGAChampion-
ship, assumingthat he canget
himself tobelieve once againthat
he becomes invincible whenhe
puts onhis Sunday red.
The majors are howWoods
keeps score, andright nowJack
Nicklaus is still ahead18-14. It was
almost a foregone conclusionafter
the U.S. Openin2008that he
wouldcatchNicklaus, but my
guess nowis he never will.
His personal issues andcon-
stant swingtinkeringthrewhima
curve ball that will be toughto
recover from. But its more his
puttingnow, withhis nerves be-
trayinghimonshort putts that
were always gimmes inhis prime.
That happens togolfers as they
age, andits happeningtoeventhe
great Tiger Woods.
The golf seasonis well under-
way, withLos Angeles next week
the last tournament onthe West
Coast swing. The Masters awaits
less thantwomonths fromnow,
andits entirely conceivable his
winless streakwill be evenlonger
by then.
Tiger Woods inredonSunday
usedtomeansomething.
Nowhes become just another
player, wearinganother color.

months, and he looked poised to
break through after a 67 in the
third round at Pebble Beach got
him to within four shots of the
lead.
But he failed to make birdie on
theeasyopeningstretchat Pebble
Beach, and even when he made
his first birdie at the par-5 sixth,
Mickelson poured in a 20-foot ea-
gle putt to take the outright lead.
I didnt hit it as bad as the
score indicated, but I putted aw-
ful, Woods said. As goodas I felt
on the greens yesterday, I felt bad
today. Anything I tried to do
wasnt working. Consequently, I
made a ton of mistakes on the
green.
Two weeks ago in his 2012 de-
but at AbuDhabi, Woods was tied
for the lead with unheralded Rob-
ert Rock going into the final
round and didnt break par, tying
for third.
Woods used to own Mickelson,
but that changed at the 2007
Deutsche Bank Championship.
This was the fifth straight time
Mickelsonpostedthe better score
when playing in the same group
as Woods in the final round.
Mickelson has won three of
those tournaments, although
they have yet to be in the final
group on those occasions.
Mickelson started his season
sluggishly, failing to crack the top
25 at the Humana Challenge and
Phoenix Open, and missing the
cut at Torrey Pines. He said his
puttingwas as goodas ever, andit
was a matter of getting his game
in sync.
It simplysangonSunday, most-
ly his amazing touch on the
greens a long eagle putt at No.
2that caught part of thehole, long
two-putts for par and enough
birdies to make him a winner at
Pebble Beach again.
It feels just amazing, Mickel-
son said. I felt like my game was
there, but coming out the first
couple of weeks, I posted some
horrendous scores and started to
question it. To be able to play the
way I did the last 18 holes really
means a lot.
Mickelson finished at 17-under
269 and earned $1.152 million for
his first win since the Houston
Open last year. He will move to
No. 11 in the world.
Ricky Barnes closed with a 67
and finished third. Kevin Na tied
for fifth and earned a spot in the
Match Play Championship in two
weeks at Arizona.
Wi talkedabout battling the de-
mons of self-doubt, andtheymust
have hadthe first greensurround-
ed. Equipped with a three-shot
lead to start the final round, Wi
four-puttedfrom35feet above the
hole for a double bogey.
Just like that, the game was on.
That still wasnt enough for
Woods to get in on the action.
Standing in the sixth fairway,
Woods was only one shot out of
the lead, yet the sleeves of his red
shirt and his name on the leader-
board didnt seem to make him
stand out the way it has before.
The opening holes had some-
thing to do with that, and watch-
ing Mickelson play alongside
him.
Mickelson nearly holed an ea-
gle putt across the second green;
Woods missed a 5-foot birdie putt
that stayed 2 inches above the
hole. Mickelson holed a 15-foot
birdie putt down the hill at the
fourth; Woods had a 30-foot putt
up the hill that was 3 feet short.
Mickelsons tee shot on the par-3
fifth settled a foot from the cup.
Woods missed his birdie putt
from12 feet.
Yes, there was a big charge at
Pebble Beach from Lefty.
Mickelson started the day six
shots behind and went two shots
ahead with an eagle on the sixth
hole. Woods thenvanishedinase-
ries of blunders missing a
2
1
2-foot par putt on the seventh,
missed a 5-foot par putt on the
eighth, and a third straight bogey
at No. 9 when he hit his approach
into the bunker.
The only hope for Woods came
on the 12th, when he holed his
bunker shot. It looked like it
might be a two-shot swing, pull-
ing him to within three of the
lead, until Mickelsonmadehis 30-
footer for par.

Thats a recipe for disaster,
said center Zach Sill. When
you want to wait until the third
period to try and play some
hockey, youre going to lose
more times than youll win.
The loss impacted the Pen-
guins in the standings, as they
fell to five points behind St.
Johns who won earlier in the
day, for first place in the East-
ern Conference. It also allowed
Hershey to move within one
point of the Penguins for first
place in the East Division.
The Penguins are now 29-14-
2-5 and 6-3-0-2 against the Bears
with one more game to play
against the division rival.
After a sluggish start by both
teams, Hershey found the back
of the net with a goal by Ryan
Potulny 14 minutes in followed
by a power play tally from Jacob
Micflikier his first of two
goals on the night to make it
2-0 at the end of the first period.
Head coach John Hynes said
his team missed an opportunity
to gain control of the game in
the early stages.
It was a laissez faire first 10
minutes, Hynes said. We
didnt play the way we needed
to play to have success tonight.
What did it was our inability at
the start of the game to dictate
how the game was going to go.
That was the difference.
After giving up another goal
early in the second period to go
down 3-0, the Penguins got
physical when Brandon DeFazio
pummeled Tomas Kundratek af-
ter he bloodied Paul Thompson
with an elbow to the face and
wasnt assessed a penalty.
Anytime theres a hit to the
head and blood, theres usually
a penalty, Hynes said.
There was, but it was called
on DeFazio, who was assessed
an instigating minor, a fighting
major and a game misconduct
for punching Kundratek, giving
Hershey seven minutes of pow-
er play time. The situation grew
worse after Matt Rust was whis-
tled for a delay of game penalty,
giving the Bears two minutes of
five-on-three time during the
seven-minute span.
But the Penguins kept the
AHLs top power play off the
board and prevented Hershey
from expanding their lead.
It was a tremendous job by
our PK, Hynes said. If we had
played with that type of desper-
ation, energy and commitment
from the first period the game
mightve been different.
The Penguins couldnt capi-
talize on the momentum from
the penalty kill, however, and
Hershey scored again early in
the third period to go up 4-0.
They did manage to get on
the board with 10 minutes when
Jason Williams tipped in a Ben
Street pass to make it 4-1, but
Hershey countered with anoth-
er goal with five minutes left for
a 5-1 win.
It wasnt the ending that the
Penguins envisioned when they
took on a Bears team that was
playing its third game in three
days, and it all had to do with
the start.
We know if we dont play our
way its going to sting us for
sure, Sill said.

MELBOURNE, Australia
Jessica Korda broke out her fa-
thers trademark scissor-kick cel-
ebration Sunday when she won
the Womens Australian Open at
Royal Melbourne for her first
LPGA Tour title.
She decided against the cart
wheels that her father, Petr, did
when he won the1998 Australian
Open tennis title. Maybe she was
still dizzy following a topsy-turvy
final day of the tournament.
After losing the leadwitha late
bogey run, the 18-year-old Amer-
ican fought back to take the last
spot in an improbable six-player
playoff, then won with a 25-foot
birdie putt on the second extra
hole.
It is a really special place for
my family, Korda said. For my
first win, I honestly could not
have thought of a better place.
What did her father say when
they spoke by phone after the vic-
tory?
That he was, So proud of me
and well talk about the three-
putts after, she said.
She closed with a 1-over 74 to
finish at 3-under 289 in the first
womens professional event at
Royal Melbourne, the difficult
sand-belt layout that was the site
of the 2011 Presidents Cup.
Stacy Lewis, Brittany Linci-
come, Julieta Granada, So Yeon
Ryu and Hee Kyung Seo also
were in the playoff that matched
the largest in LPGATour history.
Ryu and Seo, playing ahead of
Korda and Nikki Campbell in the
second-to-last group, topped the
leaderboardat 4 under going into
the final hole of regulation, but
made bogeys to set up the big
playoff.
Lewis finished with a 70, Linci-
come and Granada shot 71, and
Ryu and Seo 73.
Split into threesomes on the
par-4 18th, all six players parred
thefirst extra hole. Lincicomes 6-
foot birdie try circled the cup and
stayed out.
I couldnt have hit it any bet-
ter, Lincicome said. It was per-
fect, perfect speed. ... Lips out
and comes back to you.
Playing in the first threesome,
Lincicome also narrowly missed
a 15-foot birdie try on the second
playoff hole.
Same thing on the second
putt, hit it exactlywhereI wanted
to hit it and it just didnt break,
Lincicome said.
A few minutes later in the sec-
ond group, Korda made her bird-
ie putt, and won when Granada
missed a 12-footer that would
have sent the twobacktothe18th
tee.
I was really calm, Korda said.
I knew what the putt did be-
cause Id had it before and it did
not move. I was a little higher up
and more to the right. I knewthe
line and I knew the speed. All I
had to do was just hit it. It started
breaking. I thought, Oh, my
goodness no, dont lip out, dont
break too early. I dont even
knowwhat side of the hole it hit. I
was overwhelmed by every-
thing.

Pavin wins Allianz Championship
BOCA RATON, Fla. Corey Pavin made a 12-foot birdie putt on the
first playoff hole Sunday to defeat Peter Senior
and win the Allianz Championship for his first
Champions Tour title Sunday at Broken Sound.
Both players shot a final-round 71 to finish tied
at 11-under 205. Senior forced the playoff with a
birdie on the last hole of regulation, but his
birdie try in the playoff stopped an inch short of
the cup.
Mark Calcavecchia appeared to be cruising to
the victory when he birdied the par-5 11th hole to
take a three-shot lead over Pavin. But
Calcavecchia, who was 5 under for the day at
that point, bogeyed six of his last seven holes to finish tied for
seventh after a 73.
Bernhard Langer (71) and Michael Allen (69) tied for third place, a

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia Ivica
Kostelic captured his second consecutive
World Cup super-combined title with a vic-
tory Sunday on the 2014 Sochi Olympics
course, then hobbled off with an injured
right knee that that might need surgery.
The Croatian was in visible pain during
the victory celebration, using his ski poles
like crutches and struggling onto the podi-
um on the verge of tears while sister Janica
looked on crying.
You saw he could not walk, Croatia
team spokesman Vedran Pavlek said. He
could not extend his knee.
Moving up from 15th after the downhill
leg, Kostelic put down the fastest slalom
run for a combined time of 2 minutes, 50.21
seconds. He pumped his fist when he cross-
ed the finish line, but then the pain set in.
Kostelic was injured during the initial
portion of the slalom, and Pavlek said sur-
gery was possible. The team said an initial
MRI in Krasnaya detected no vital new
damage, adding the pain could be from
heavy knee joint stress. Kostelic will head
havea secondMRI inBasel, Switzerland, on
Monday and an evaluation will be made
then, the team added.
All of the Americans entered went out in
the slalomrun. Bode Miller was fourthafter
the downhill portion but failed to make a
gate on the top, while Ted Ligety and Will
Brandenburg straddled on the bottom.
This was Kostelics sixth win this season
and the 24th of his career. He also now has
five crystal globes for World Cup titles
one large one from last seasons overall vic-
tory and four smaller ones for discipline ti-
tles, two in super-combi and two in slalom.
Beat Feuz of Switzerland dropped from
first after the downhill leg to finish second,
1.16 seconds behind, and Thomas Mermil-
lod Blondin of France was third, 1.77 back.
Feuz won the downhill Saturday and
would have won the super-combined title if
he had also won this race. Now, depending
on Kostelics status, Feuz could be poised to
win the overall World Cup title.

SOLDEU-GRANDVALIRA, Andorra
Tessa Worley of France fought off
gusting winds to win a second consec-
utive World Cup giant slalom Sunday
in the Andorran Pyrenees while overall
leader Lindsey Vonn finished eighth.
Worley led after the opening run
and withstood a strong challenge by
Slovenias Tina Maze to win in 2 min-
utes, 1.80 seconds for her seventh
career victory.
Maze was 0.16 seconds behind and
chipped into Vonns commanding point
total with her seventh top-three finish
of the season. Defending World Cup
champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch was
third, 0.75 seconds off the pace.
This was the first time Andorra, a
small principality tucked between
France and Spain, hosted World Cup
events.
Vonn, still on course for her fourth
overall title, was 1.36 seconds behind.
Even though she was denied a big
points haul, the American still holds a
410-point cushion over Maze and is
confident about her chances of re-
claiming the title.
It looks pretty good, she said.
There are quite a few more speed
races left, not many tech races. So it
looks pretty solid at this point.
Vonn, who crashed during Satur-
days slalom on the same hill, was
unable to recover from a bumpy first
run.

NEWYORKJoseBarreraen-
joys pretty things. A jewelry de-
signer to the stars, his gold-plated
breastplate is what Beyonce wore
for her I Am ... Sasha Fierce al-
bum.
These days, hes showingoff an-
other gem Alma Dulce, his ti-
ny, trembling
xoloitzcuin-
tli.
His what?
With the
Westminster
Kennel Club
dog show set
to begin to-
day, time toknowyour Xs andOs.
So start with the xoloitzcuintli,
one of six new breeds welcomed
this year to Madison Square Gar-
den.
They are exotic, Barrera said.
You cant take her for a walk
around the block without some-
one stopping you to ask, What is
that, howdo you spell that?
Commonly known as a Mexi-
can hairless, and featuring over-
sized batlike ears, theyre pro-
nounced show-low-eats-
QUEEN-tlee. Thats accordingto
Amy Fernandez, an expert whos
written books about the breed.
We go around with little cards
at shows tellingpeople howtosay
it. Otherwise, youwouldloseyour
voice doing it every time, she
said.
Fernandezplannedtoentertwo
of her xoloitzcuintli in Americas
most distinguished dog show.
There are 10 ready to compete,
though little Alma Dulce will sit
out this time at only 2
1
2 years old.
More than 2,000 pooches will
take part, coming in 185 breeds
and varieties. Among the favor-
ites to become top dog are a wire
foxterrier, asmoothfoxterrier, an
affenpinscher and a couple of
standard poodles.

FARGO, N.D. More than
two months after the University
of North Dakota officially drop-
ped its divisive nickname, the
public address announcer at a
womens basketball game wel-
comed it back with a familiar
roar: Here come your Fighting
Sioux!
Last weeks return was bitter-
sweet for some supporters of the
moniker, reportedly born some
80 years ago fromanonymous let-
ters to a student newspaper but
since decried as racist by many
AmericanIndians andthe NCAA.
The nickname was resurrected
after residents generated 17,000
signatures seeking to put the is-
sue to a statewide vote. As part of
that process, a since-repealed
state law requiring the school to
use the nickname went back into
effect even though the univer-
sity, the state Board of Higher
Education and local lawmakers
want it gone.
However, in this decades-old
controversythat has enduredsev-
en years of legal and political ma-
neuvering, the monikers sup-
porters are hoping to pull out a
last-ditch victory.
Im passionate about this,
said Doug Samuelson, 36, of Mi-
not, who signed the petition be-
fore a Disney On Ice show in Bis-
marck. I guess I feel its never
been a race issue. I always
thought it was more about pride
than anything else.
Other North Dakota residents,
some of whom even back the
nickname, have grown weary of
the decades-old debate. Steve
Huber, a UND graduate, said he
did not sign the petition and will
vote no on the referendum.
As hard as this is to say, be-
causeI amnot a bigfanof conced-
ing to those in the minority on an
issue, I think it is time to put this
thing to bed, said Huber, 37, of
Oxbow. Go with the University
of North Dakota. No nickname.
The referendums backers
pooh-poohed state legislators
who dropped a push to make the
nickname law and brushed aside
arguments that NCAA sanctions
would hurt the schools athletic
programs and its affiliation with
the Big Sky Conference.
Some of those signers contact-
ed by The Associated Press said
they resent being depicted as
hostile to American Indians and
being told what to do with the
states flagship university.

Clouds, snow,
sun and rain, it's
all in the fore-
cast this week.
Today will start
off with some
morning clouds
but turn mostly
sunny as we
warm up to 36.
Clouds return for
Valentine's Day
with light snow
showers and a
high of 39. On
Wednesday,
temperatures
will jump back
into the low 40s.
Thursday will be
warmer, with a
high of 45, but a
mix is in the
forecast for the
day and into the
night. The week-
end looks like it
will be mostly
cloudy with flur-
ries and highs
ranging from 35
to 40.
- Michelle Rotella
NATIONAL FORECAST: A low pressure system moving across the Southwest will bring rain and snow
showers to much of the West Coast today, with associated precipitation reaching as far east as the
Rockies. Meanwhile, there will be an area of precipitation developing from the western Gulf Coast to
the Midwest and northern Plains.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I have
been divorced for
two years and am
friendly with a man,
Byron, whose
friendship I value.
A few weeks ago we
decided to explore
a dating relationship. Unfortunately,
the past couple of weeks have been
busy for me. We havent been able to
spend as much time together as ei-
ther of us would like.
Last night Byron texted me, saying
he knew where this was going and
thought we should talk about it. He
subsequently said he thinks I wasnt
being honest about wanting to spend
time together.
When I reassured him, he ex-
plained that he has abandonment is-
sues. Now I feel I must be careful not
to do anything that might cause him
to panic.
Should I back off now and try to
salvage the friendship, or should I
give the romance a chance? His para-
noid actions so early into this stage
of our relationship have made me un-
comfortable. Its as if hes asking for a
guarantee already.
Uneasy in South Dakota
Dear Uneasy: I dont blame you for
having second thoughts. Byron ap-
pears to be someone who also has
trust issues, and that he would tell
you he thinks you havent been hon-
est with him is cause for concern.
You have been friendly for some time;
therefore, he should have assessed
your character before this. Back off,
because the only person who can re-
solve his insecurities is Byron. Your
instincts are correct.
Dear Abby: You often suggest vol-
unteer work as a way of combating
loneliness or boredom. Research has
shown that volunteering has health
benefits as well as social benefits.
In addition to the pride, satisfac-
tion and accomplishment for the
individuals involved, volunteer work
also strengthens communities. Thats
why I hope you will support Project
Linus by telling your readers about
its national Make a Blanket Day on
Saturday, Feb. 18.
On that day volunteers across the
country will be making quilts, blan-
kets and afghans that will be donated
to children ages 0-18 who are expe-
riencing stressful situations such as
hospitalizations, natural disasters,
foster care and homelessness.
No sewing skills are required. Vol-
unteers can help if they can thread
a needle, cut with scissors and tie a
knot. Thank you, Abby, for sharing
the information about this worth-
while project with your many readers.
Karen in Snohomish, Wash.
Dear Karen: Im pleased to help
spread the word. Dear Abby readers
are the kindest, most generous people
in the world. Those who are inter-
ested in obtaining more information,
or locating a local chapter that will be
sponsoring a work party on Feb. 18,
should visit www.projectlinus.org.

(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Resolutions dont have to last
the whole year. Make a resolu-
tion intended for just this one
brand-new day. The shorter time
span will make it easier to keep.
You can always resolve again
tomorrow if you wish.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Theres
still time to plan an extremely
thoughtful gesture for your
loved ones to celebrate their role
in your life. Take action, and this
Valentines Day may be the best
one ever.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
schedule may be dominated by
other peoples needs. Therefore,
you may not be able to fully con-
centrate on the things that mat-
ter most to you. Take heart.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be
alert to subtle changes manifest-
ing in your daily life. Take each
clue separately, and it wont
amount to much. Start adding
up all of the details, and youll
understand the larger meaning.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It takes dar-
ing to share your creativity with
others. Youre open, and youll
let your energies combine, fuse
and merge, trusting that togeth-
er youll come up with something
workable.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Without
tension, there cant be power.
Without a catalyst, there wont
be a flame. Youll rise to the
occasion, embracing the dualities
that make life truly interesting.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The flick-
er of anticipation will be brief.
Some things seem destined to
end before they begin. Take it as
a sign that you were meant for
bigger and better realities.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Vent
your strong feelings. Keeping
them to yourself only serves to
create energetic blockages in
your body, especially your knees
and joints. So express what you
feel when you feel it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You dont have to take yourself
too seriously or be responsible
for absolutely everything that
happens. Youre a cog in the
wheel and not the engine that
makes it turn.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Some people around you seem
to intuitively know that in order
to get attention they must
inspire a feeling in others. An
impression that causes shock or
laughter will be memorable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Theres so much to do that you
could feel paralyzed by the over-
whelming number of choices.
Focus on taking good care of
yourself, and youll be successful.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The
situation involves you, but its
not about you. You are ready to
let go of a small piece of your
ego and let whatever happens
just happen.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb. 13).
Loving bonds are forged in
adventure and travel through-
out the year. Your commitment
to a cause in March will make
a difference in the world while
introducing you to a new social
network. Loving your work has
something to do with the promo-
tion you get in April. Save up
for a spectacular opportunity
in June. Gemini and Leo people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 40, 1, 24, 39 and 18.
