Citizens Bank Park’s base paths might not be congested this weekend in what is expected to be a pitchingdominated start to the 2010 National League Championship Series, but that won’t be the case with the roads, bridges, and subways around the South Philadelphia sports complex.

That ticketed throng will be enhanced by thousands of police; employees of the three sports facilities; and all those fans who just want to tailgate, wander the Phillies’ pregame parties on Citizens Bank Way, or soak in the colorful

Philadelphia firefighters will receive 3 percent annual raises for the next three years and be protected from furloughs under a long-awaited four-year contract awarded Friday by an independent arbitration panel. Despite changes to the firefighters’ pension plan that the city sought, the award drew swift and sharp criticism from Mayor Nutter, who vowed to appeal. Bill Gault, president of Local 22

The Pennsylvania Senate has approved a bill to give the governor and the legislature more control over the Delaware River Port Authority and to limit the DRPA’s business ties to its board members. The proposed law, passed Thursday, was the first DRPA-related measure to win approval this year in either house in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, as the states

contemplate ways to rein in the troubled bistate agency. Other legislation is pending in Congress. The DRPA operates four toll bridges and the PATCO commuter rail line between Pennsylvania and South Jersey. In recent months, the authority has come under fire for its spending and hiring practices, conflicts of interest, and lack of accountability and transparency. Changing the charter that governs how the DRPA operates is not easy, requiring approval of the legislatures and governors of both states as See DRPA on A4

BOSTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke appeared on Friday to remove any lingering doubt that the central bank would take new actions to fortify the torpid economic recovery and fight low inflation and high unemployment. The effect of the Fed’s most likely course — resuming vast purchases of government debt to lower long-term interest rates — would ripple far beyond American shores. The new ac-

For most Americans, additional Fed activity is likely to mean already low 30-year mortgage rates will fall further. The moves would not help savers, though, as yields on certificates of deposit and savings bonds probably

But the Fed hopes that by making credit even cheaper, it will encourage businesses and consumers to borrow and spend — and that could eventually bring relief to jobless workers. “Given the committee’s objectives, there would appear — all else being equal — to be a case for further action,” Bernanke said in a detailed speech at a gathering of economists See FED on A4 ¢ Retail sales exceed forecasts.

been stuck since late last month, when Israel’s construction freeze on Israeli settlements in the West Bank expired. The Palestinians, backed by the Arab League, have given the United States the month of October to find ways to get Israel to keep the construction stopped. They are threatening otherwise to end the talks. The Palestinians say they cannot return to negotiations without an extension of the freeze because they are watching their future state disappear under their feet; Netanyahu says the fate of settlement construction, which has been going on for four decades and now houses hundreds of thousands of Israelis, should be part of the mix of contentious issues that the two sides negotiate, not a condition for negotiations. Virtually the entire international community opposes the settlements. The vast majority of governments accept what the United Nations and

The East Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Ze’ev, slated for

building, is seen behind a section of Israel’s separation barrier. the International Court of Justice in the Hague have declared — that the settlements violate international law. Israel says they are lawful because the Palestinians were not sovereign in the West Bank when it was conquered from Jordan in 1967. The United States and Japan take no stand on the settlements’ legality, although they oppose them on policy grounds. In March, when Vice President Biden was visiting Jerusalem in an act of friendship to Israel, Israel announced plans for 1,600 Jewish units in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, em-

barrassing Biden and infuriating President Obama. Israeli officials promised Washington that there would be no more such surprises while negotiations were under way. Israeli officials indicated Friday that the relatively modest number of units and their locations were such that they believed they were not violating their commitment to Washington. Netanyahu is still mulling an offer from the United States to extend the settlement freeze for two to three months in exchange for American security guarantees and military hardware.

A Fort Hood survivor testified that an officer ordered him to delete the two videos. By Angela K. Brown and Michael Graczyk ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT HOOD, Texas — A soldier who recorded the terror of last year’s deadly shooting rampage in Fort Hood using his cell phone was ordered by an officer to delete both videos, a military court heard Friday.

WASHINGTON — No U.S. intelligence sources or practices were compromised by the posting of secret Afghan war logs by the WikiLeaks website, the Pentagon has concluded, but the military thinks the leaks could still cause significant damage to U.S. security interests. The assessment, outlined in a letter obtained Friday by the Associated Press, suggests that some of the Obama administration’s worst fears about the July disclosure of almost 77,000 secret U.S. war reports have failed to materialize. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates reported these conclusions in an Aug. 16 letter to Sen. Carl Levin (D., Mich.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who had requested a Pentagon assessment. Questions persist about whether the disclosure undermined U.S. officials’ ability to maintain the allegiance of allies and people from other countries who take risks to cooperate with the United States.

website, is believed to be preparing to release an even larger set of classified Pentagon documents on the Iraq war as early as Sunday. “Our initial review indicates most of the information contained in these documents relates to tactical military operations,” Gates wrote, suggesting the materials did not include the most sensitive kinds of information. “The initial assessment in no way discounts the risk to national security,” he added. “However, the review to date has not revealed any sensitive intelligence sources and methods compromised by this disclosure.” Gates noted that the documents contained the names of “cooperative Afghan nationals.” These were not secret intelligence sources but Afghans who had decided to cut their ties to the Taliban. The Taliban later vowed to punish these individuals, if the reports proved true. “We are working closely with our allies to determine what risks our mission partners may face as a result of the disclosure,” Gates wrote.

that must be taken into account in judging whether and how aggressively they should be used,” the Fed chairman said. But he suggested that the Fed was prepared to manage the risks associated with vast new purchases of government debt. When the Fed buys bonds originally issued by the Treasury or other federal agencies, it pays with cash that goes into the nation’s banking system. With extra money available, banks cut interest rates to entice businesses and individuals to borrow. As Bernanke sent a message to the markets that the Fed was prepared to wander into uncharted territory, he tried to anticipate and address potential criticism. “One disadvantage of asset purchases relative to conven-

In the Nation Councilman tells of bullying ordeals A city councilman in Fort Worth, Texas, has rocketed into cyberspace prominence in a video pleading with gay teens not to commit suicide and tearfully recounting his own ordeals as a bullied schoolboy. “Give yourself a chance to see how much life will get better,” Councilman Joel Burns says in his appeal to bullied teens, which he made during a 12-minute speech to the council Tuesday. By Friday afternoon, the video had received more than 500,000 hits on YouTube. Burns, 40, who is openly gay, prefaced his appeal by recounting several of the recent cases in which teens across the country had killed themselves after being targeted by antigay bullying. Burns addressed himself directly to any gay teens who might see the video: “You will get out of the household that doesn’t accept you. You will

ed to keep short-term interest rates at nearly zero for even longer than the markets now expected. The Federal Open Market Committee has been saying since March 2009 that the benchmark federal funds rate, at which banks lend to one another overnight, would remain “exceptionally low” for “an extended period.” Changing the committee’s statement could help lower longer-term rates. But Bernanke hinted that this was not his preferred strategy. Disappointing some Wall Street analysts, Bernanke did not reveal details of the magnitude and pace of any new debt purchases.

new steps at its next meeting, on Nov. 2-3. The Fed’s balance sheet has nearly tripled, to about $2.3 trillion, since the financial crisis of 2008. Most of the increase can be attributed to the Fed’s purchases of $1.7 trillion in mortgage-related securities and Treasury securities in 2009 and 2010. The new program is likely to be smaller. One Fed official has suggested a $500 billion program, while another has suggested it be $100 billion or less. Bernanke also weighed one other tool the Fed could take: communicating that it intend-

tional monetary policy is that we have much less experience in judging the economic effects of this policy instrument, which makes it challenging to determine the appropriate quantity and pace of purchases and to communicate this policy response to the public,” he said. A criticism of asset purchases by the Fed is that they could spark inflation. But for now, inflation appears remote. As Bernanke spoke, the government released the September figures for the Consumer Price Index, showing a rise of only 0.1 percent from the previous month. The core index, excluding energy and food, was unchanged. Bernanke’s comments in Boston strongly suggested that the Federal Open Market Committee is likely to take

The DRPA bill would prohibit free tolls for employees, require board approval for travel expenses, ban corporate credit cards for employees, ban the acceptance of free tickets or other gifts, prohibit officials from going to work for DRPA vendors for two years after leaving the agency, and limit tuition reimbursement to 50 percent. Last month, Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Vereb (R., Montgomery) and New Jersey Assemblyman Domenick DiCicco (R., Gloucester) introduced bills to make broad changes in DRPA operations, including requiring a twothirds majority vote by the board on toll increases, creating a PATCO commuter council, banning charitable contri-

Rafferty said Friday that he had more proposed changes, to be introduced when the state’s newly elected legislature convenes in January. “I’m going to push for a lot more transparency and accountability,” Rafferty said. “Oversight is critical. No one has paid much attention to the DRPA; it has been under the control of a few individuals on both sides of the river. “They have to realize someone is watching.” Other bills in the states’ legislatures also are aimed at the DRPA. In New Jersey on Thursday, State Sen. Donald Norcross (D., Camden) and Assemblyman Paul Moriarty (D., Gloucester) introduced legislation to overhaul the DRPA, offering a package of five bills that would restrict spending and

Andrews (D., N.J.) last month introduced legislation to compel the DRPA to appoint an independent inspector general. The bills in Congress and Pennsylvania’s legislature have a short life.

Veteran finishes coast-to-coast run ROCKLAND, Maine — An Army veteran who ran from coast to coast to honor the nation’s fallen troops finished his grueling journey in rain and high winds Friday in Maine. Mike Ehredt of Hope, Idaho, placed a flag in the ground every mile along the way to honor military personnel killed in Iraq. On Friday the final flag honored Marine Maj. Jay Aubin, a pilot from Waterville, Maine, who died when his CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter went down near the Iraq border. The 49-year-old extreme runner kicked off his journey May 1 in Astoria, Ore., averaged about 29 miles a day and took only four days off. All told, he ran 4,425 miles. Along the way, he went through 19 pairs of trail-running shoes, drank 40 gallons of chocolate milk (one quart a day) and consumed 668 Aleve (two each morning and night). — AP

Madoff’s house in Florida sold NEW YORK — Federal marshals say the Palm Beach, Fla., home of jailed financier Bernard Madoff has been sold for $5.65 million after a year on the market. The 8,800-square-foot home reportedly was sold to a California couple. The U.S. Marshals Service said in a release that the sale Friday marked the completion of the sale of his homes. Federal officials seized the home and other Madoff properties in New York and France after Madoff was arrested in December 2008. Madoff, 72, pleaded guilty to fraud charges and is serving a 150-year prison sentence. Proceeds from the sales are being distributed to thousands of victims who lost billions of dollars. — AP

Hungarian plant operating again

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Production restarted Friday at the metals plant whose broken reservoir unleashed a massive flood of caustic red sludge, even as villagers began returning to one of the affected towns in western Hungary despite warnings from environmentalists that it was too early and too dangerous to return. About 800 Kolontar residents were evacuated last Saturday after authorities said a wall of the factory reservoir could collapse further, releasing a second wave of red sludge after a calamitous break Oct. 4. Nine people died in the toxic flood, and about 50 are still hospitalized, several in serious condition. On Friday, about 30 people were driven to Kolontar in buses from a sports arena in the nearby town of Ajka, where they had been staying. The plant at the center of the catastrophe, the Ajkai Timfoldgyar metals plant belonging to MAL Rt., or the Hungarian Aluminum Production & Trade Co., employs 1,100 people. — AP

4 miners trapped in south Ecuador

QUITO, Ecuador — A tunnel collapsed in a gold mine in southern Ecuador on Friday, trapping four miners 490 feet underground. Authorities said rescue efforts were under way. A miner who escaped the cave-in told authorities that four of his colleagues remained trapped in the mine, near the city of Portovelo, about 250 miles southwest of the capital, Quito. The mine is operated by the Ecuadorean company Minesadco. The collapse trapped the workers at the fifth level of the mine, Deputy Mining Minister Jorge Espinosa said. The condition of the men was unknown. Espinosa said that 50 rescue workers were digging out the main tunnel while others were preparing to possibly dig a hole from the side. — AP

France addresses Roma expulsions

PARIS — France is willing to alter some of its laws in response to European Commission complaints that followed the government’s expulsions of Gypsies, or Roma, to countries in Eastern Europe, officials said Friday. France has been locked in a standoff with the European Union’s head office over its expulsions of some of Europe’s poorest minorities, and the commission gave France until midnight to fully implement the EU’s directive on freedom of movement across the 27-nation bloc — or face legal action. In response, the Foreign Ministry said France was willing to amend its laws to match EU regulations, and it said French authorities would meet the deadline. It did not spell out the exact changes to be made. In recent months, France has expelled more than 1,000 Roma immigrants, mostly to Romania. — AP

North threatens attack over S. Korea’s leaflets By Kwang Tae Kim ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea renewed its threat Friday to attack South Korea over anti-Pyongyang leaflets being sent into the country, a sign of lingering tension after the sinking of a South Korean warship. Civilian activists regularly use balloons to launch leaflets condemning North Korean leader Kim Jong Il across the heavily fortified border, a tactic Pyongyang views as part of official South Korean

psychological campaigns aimed at toppling its regime. The North warned during military talks with South Korea last month that it might fire artillery at sites the activists use to launch the balloons. South Korean Defense Minister Kim Tae Young said earlier this month that the military would immediately resume full-scale propaganda activities against North Korea in the event of any new provocations by Pyongyang, but has so far limited that to radio broadcasts.

Trauma begins to surface as miners adjust By Chris Kraul and Fabiola Gutierrez LOS ANGELES TIMES

COPIAPO, Chile — The emotional and psychological trauma of 33 miners rescued this week after 69 days trapped underground began to surface Friday, even as many of the physically healthier men were being released from a regional hospital. During a news conference Friday, Health Minister Jaime Manalich said that some of the men who were rescued from the San Jose mine were showing signs of disorientation as they struggle to become reacquainted with life above ground.

It was this psychological fragility that was given as the reason for the cancellation of a Mass of thanksgiving that was to have been celebrated at the San Jose mine Sunday by the miners and their families. Atacama Gov. Ximena Matas said the men were not in a condition to confront the scene of their anguish and want “a moment of tranquillity.” “It’s not a good idea that they go back to the mine so soon,” said psychologist Alberto Iturra, part of the medical rescue team that counseled the miners during their ordeal. “Ideally, they need a period of rest because they are still on emotional roller coasters,”

Manalich said. “They still have to process what they went through, to let their experiences settle, have their nightmares, and let out their anxieties.” However, the glare of media attention focused on the men, who have essentially become global stars, is not likely to ease that process. Job offers, gifts, invitations from around the globe issued by celebrities and presidents to visit glamorous spots and attend major events have poured in. Yet coping with even small celebrations after months in the dank and dark has proved a challenge. “I didn’t think I’d make it

back, so this reception blows my mind,” Edison Pena, one of the first three miners to be released from hospital, told reporters as waiting neighbors showered him with confetti on his return home. “We really had a bad time.” Most of the attention has been met with silence, in part because the miners apparently have agreed to share their story collectively to equally share any financial gain. When asked if some of the men were experiencing posttraumatic stress syndrome, Manalich answered by saying that a group of Australian miners stuck underground for 10 days experienced psychologi-

cal problems, so it would be reasonable to expect that these miners might go through an “extraordinarily difficult time.” An additional 10 miners were expected to be sent home Friday, but Manalich added that some are to be transferred to a clinic in the capital, Santiago, although he did not specify the medical cause for the transfers. One miner is known to be suffering from pneumonia complicated by silicosis, another from complications from diabetes, and several others from serious dental problems. Although the miners received psychological counseling during their entrapment,

and received glowing evaluations at the time, the effort was directed at the anxiety they felt from being underground. They were also coached on dealing with the media and the “ugly and indiscreet questions” that reporters might ask. Some of the men emerged “exhausted, and when one is exhausted, the sensitivities rise to a maximum and tolerances fall to a minimum,” Iturra said, adding that fielding questions from the hundreds of journalists in Copiapo might be an ordeal that the men are not prepared for. “These are miners, not movie stars,” Iturra said.

West Chester firm celebrates a rig and its operator

SCHRAMM from A1 told those at the gathering that they had fulfilled the company’s mission: “We make products for the betterment of mankind,” he said as workers stood in front of an exact replica of the rig heard ‘round the world, this one adorned with a Chilean flag. As about 100 employees lined up at three grills — made by Schramm for the firm’s fourtimes-a-year lunches — company executives gathered around the man of the hour, the 29-yearold Roten, boyish-looking and beaming at the success of his mission. “My mom was scared,” he said of his adventure, during which he celebrated his birthday. “My girlfriend thinks I’m Superman.” “You’re not going to tell her any different?” joked John Bellis, chief financial officer of the 110-year-old family-run company. Roten, of Parkesburg, said he lived in a shipping container equipped with a mattress and ate at the Chilean-armyrun canteen. The nearest town, Copiapó, was a halfhour away. Every three days, he would go there for a shower. The T-130 belonged to a U.S.-Chilean company, Geotech Boyle Bros., and was operated by three American employees of a subsidiary of the firm. Two of the drillers had been digging water wells in Afghanistan before being called to Chile. Roten’s job was to make sure the drill ran smoothly. He was on call 24 hours a day,

day, after Roten called in, the company sent out an e-mail reporting the depth of the tunnel. “A lot of guys in here right now helped in the building of” the rig, said Jim Dolan, vice president of operations. “If we have 100 people in this plant … 40 to 50 people actually touched it at some point.” One with a special connection is Norm Bennett, a project engineer who in 2002 headed the team that designed the T-130. “There can be nothing more gratifying than to see your work in a rescue mission,” said Bennett, a thirdgeneration Schramm employee whose son is a regional salesman. “It’s pretty amazing. It had to be the highest point I ever had here.” For Roten, the denouement was bittersweet. After the shaft was dug, the T-130 was removed so a manhole-size escape capsule could be put in place, and the drill operators were ordered to leave the area. Roten watched the rescue from a Santiago hotel LAURENCE KESTERSON / Staff Photographer room before flying home Employees of Schramm Inc., which made the rig that helped free the miners, celebrate.

Phila. firefighters awarded pact

FIREFIGHTERS from A1 ings or the ability to require furloughs. City Finance Director Rob Dubow said the contract would cost the city an additional $146 million over the next five years, including nearly $80 million in healthcare costs. Nutter said the police award afforded the city ways to offset costs but the firefighter contract did not, “short of simply cutting services.” “This award is bad in the short term and worse in the long term,” Nutter said. He has 30 days to appeal to Common Pleas Court. Nutter said he would appeal the furlough issue — he won the right to require unpaid leave of police officers for up to two weeks a year — and almost all wage and benefit aspects. The administration also will appeal provisions that prevent the city from eliminating certain jobs regarded by the union as vital, and a provision that would change the testing process for battalion chiefs and deputy chiefs. Nutter will not appeal the 401(k)-type pension plan that will be offered to new employees, which affords the city some long-term savings but little up front. New firefighters who opt to stick with the traditional pension plan will have to contribute 6 percent of their salaries, instead of 5 percent for current department employees. Unlike police, who for the first time will be exempted from the city’s residency requirement, firefighters will still have to live in the city. The more than 2,100 firefighters have been operating under the terms of a contract that expired more than 15

Highlights of the Contract

A three-person panel of arbitrators awarded Philadelphia firefighters a new four-year contract Friday. The contract runs retroactively from July 1 through June 30, 2013.

Wages

Pensions

No increase in 2009, and 3 percent increases this year and in 2011 and 2012. The total cost of these raises is $67 million.

Benefits for current employees will not change. New hires will have the option of paying 6 percent, instead of 5 percent, of their salaries into a traditional pension, or enrolling in a hybrid that includes a 401(k)-type defined-contribution plan.

Health care As of Jan. 1, copays will rise to $5 for generic prescriptions and $10 for most other medications. Copays for doctor visits will be $10. The city will continue to pay $1,270 per firefighter per month into the union’s health-care fund, until Dec. 31, when the city will begin paying health-care claims directly. The union’s health fund, though, will pay the first $5 million in costs. but it was denied. New hires will also be limited in vacation time, permitted to take off only one week from May 1 to Sept. 30 for their first five years. That change is intended to save the city overtime costs. The administration’s frustration with the award was reflected in the 10-page dissent by labor lawyer Jarin. The panel is composed of one representative chosen by the union, one by the city, and a third agreed upon by both sides. Jarin wrote that his two fellow arbitrators gave “lip service” to the city’s fiscal challenges by granting nearly $67 million in pay increases but offering no plan for how the city would pay for those raises without cuts in service.

Residency Firefighters still must live in the city.

Vacation New hires, for their first five years, will be allowed to take one week off during summer months.

Furloughs The city has no right to impose furloughs. . In contrast, Jarin said the police contract offset 9 percent in pay raises for officers by reducing how much the city contributed to the union’s health-care fund, and by allowing the city to impose up to 30 unpaid furlough days a year, among other changes. In all, Jarin said, the firefighters contract “places more than $100 million of unanticipated costs on the backs of the taxpayers.” He also dissented from the contract awarded to police in December. Under the terms of that deal, officers received a total of 7 percent in raises in the first three years of a five-year contract.

Christie’s tunnel vision

f Gov. Christie’s intent with his stunning decision to derail the new rail tunnel linking New Jersey and Manhattan is to run a high-stakes poker bluff with the federal government over funding the costly project, then good luck to him. But if the governor’s hold-out position is to scuttle the transHudson River tunnel, then he’s apparently intent on making his biggest policy blunder yet. The multibillion-dollar tunnel will be vitally important to the economic prosperity of the region — indeed, the entire state. Its impact will be felt in an estimated 45,000 permanent jobs created, the increase in property values from transit-oriented development in communities served by rail, and in cleaner air as thousands of cars are kept off the state’s roads. With New Jersey Transit trains to Manhattan already running at capacity and sharing a centuryold tunnel with Amtrak trains, the new tunnel will free up a masstransit bottleneck. Making this infrastructure investment is on a par with other great projects — undertakings that, no doubt, previous generations struggled to finance. So it’s good news, at least, that Christie has agreed to review his unexpected decision last week to back out of the tunnel project. A quick response from U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood — who journeyed to Trenton for a previously scheduled sitdown over the project’s cost — resulted in Christie’s ordering a two-week reprieve. On the drawing board are “several options to potentially salvage a trans-Hudson tunnel project,” the governor announced. His original decision to pull the plug on the project, Christie said,

The governor is right to reconsider his hasty decision to pull out of the project to build a tunnel into Manhattan. was due to the likely overruns that would cost New Jersey at least $2.5 billion more than its expected one-third share of the $8.7 billion tunnel. The governor’s mantra — “Can’t spend what we don’t have” — would be a responsible approach to funding state government’s day-to-day operations. But with a major capital project, the expectation is that taxpayers are making an investment much like a home mortgage that will be paid for over time. The underlying problem is the resistance by Christie and other state leaders to raising transitrelated taxes to pay for the tunnel, as well as properly fund New Jersey’s nearly broke highway fund. With a gasoline tax that’s among the lowest in the nation, though, there’s a ready solution at hand — if only officials have the courage to act in the state’s longterm interests. With that said, there’s every reason to argue that this tunnel project deserves greater support from Washington, given the national significance of the New York financial markets. That support could come in the form of a federal guarantee to cover cost overruns. Christie could make the case for federal support. By threatening to take his ball and go home, he’s grabbed the spotlight. But now it’s time to make a reasoned and responsible assessment of this vital rail project, and find a way to get it back on track.

It’s in the game S

houldn’t the Terminator be a character portrayed in a violent video game, rather than the guy who’s out to ban the games’ sales to minors? It’s certainly an out-of-character role being played by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who plans to dispatch lawyers to the Supreme Court in November to argue for reinstating a law in his state banning kids’ purchase or rental of some games. Schwarzenegger says he’s acting with a parent’s eye toward protecting children from violent images. State officials’ contention is that the video-game industry’s rating system doesn’t serve as enough of a deterrent to keep children from getting their hands on violent games. Trouble is, California’s well-intentioned 2005 law pretty clearly runs afoul of constitutional freespeech protections. Along with similar laws in several other states, the statute has been upended by legal challenges. In a February decision striking down the law, a federal appeals court also said that the law was

A ratings system is preferable to the governor of California’s attempt to restrict sales of violent video games. overkill. For one thing, the court ruled, there was no “causal link between minors playing violent video games and actual psychological or neurological harm.” More important, the judges concluded there are less restrictive ways to keep the games away from children — such as the ratings that already warn parents about a game’s content. A quarter-century ago, Tipper Gore urged that the music industry be forced to slap warning labels on songs with explicit lyrics. Congress wisely deferred to voluntary industry efforts, and now such helpful ratings are commonplace. That’s where the high court should come down on California’s video-game ban.

Nice for Nicetown T

he Salvation Army will celebrate a milestone today as it cuts a ceremonial ribbon to open its $72 million Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in one of the most blighted areas of North Philadelphia. It’s a coup not only for residents of the Nicetown community, but also for all the partners who helped raise $30 million in local matching funds to bring the ambitious project to fruition. Joan Kroc, widow of McDonald's restaurant founder Ray Kroc, gave the Salvation Army $1.5 billion to build similar centers around the country. But local officials had to raise matching funds for an endowment to operate the facility. Despite the sluggish economy, Phila-

delphia contributors pulled it off. Ground was broken for the center in March 2009. Located in the 4200 block of Wissahickon Avenue, the center will employ 400 people, and offer academic, vocational, recreational, and social services to people of all ages. Kroc wanted the centers to inspire people. This one should. The 130,000-square-foot center will be the largest Salvation Army facility of its type on the East Coast. Its amenities include three swimming pools, a fitness center, a gym, an athletic field, and a community garden. As many as 1,000 people are expected to use the facility daily, but it won’t be open to the public until Nov. 1. A Kroc center is also planned for Camden. No doubt, they can’t wait.

‘Tune Up Philly’ points the way Peter Dobrin’s article “Orchestras everywhere” (Sunday) rightly highlights a very important program and brings to mind a question of supply and demand. What does classical music really need to survive? More performances, more virtuosos, more concert halls? Or more music lovers filling the seats of our concert halls? Where should philanthropists concentrate their efforts? Stanford Thompson, Carole Haas Gravagno, and the rest of the people involved with “Tune Up Philly” get it. “It’s about societal change,” says Haas. If this program can keep kids out of juvenile detention and at the same time create classical music lovers, it may point the way to progress on several fronts. It’s not a solution, but it may be a start. Julian Rodescu Artistic Director Astral Artists Philadelphia Julesrod@aol.com

Hype promoting charter schools There is steady questioning by educational experts about charter schools’ costly and wasteful funding model, their strong bias against the poor student who can be routinely expelled, and their inability to provide clear evidence of significantly outperforming children in traditional public schools (“New math for charters,” Oct. 8). In spite of these serious drawbacks, highly profitable charters survive in part because of the constant hype from those opposed to public education. The other factor may be the deep need among sincere parents and educators for a good education for children. They

are willing to accept imperfect charters in the hope of greater improvement. Hype and hope are strangely united for better schools. Sidney Moss Elkins Park

Theory on Obama has to be a joke I was disappointed by The Inquirer’s decision to print Dinesh D’Souza’s widely discredited “Obama is an anticolonialist” conspiracy theory (Sunday). The piece wasn’t helpful for understanding Barack Obama’s presidency. That said, the D’Souza essay works quite well as a joke. First, D’Souza tells us he can discern Obama’s core ideology based on D’Souza's outrageous misreading of Obama’s book Dreams From My Father. Then D’Souza says Obama was deeply influenced by Edward Said and Roberto Mangabeira Unger. How can D’Souza tell? Easy: Their names don’t appear in any of Obama’s writings or speeches! Obviously, D’Souza must be joking! Geof Castle Collingswood

Tea-party scenario is frightening Carl Golden writes: “Democrats will awake on the morning of Nov. 3 to gaze at the pile of smoking rubble that used to be their party” (“Democrats drowning in tea-party tidal wave,” Monday). Gee, I hope not. This would mean that the tea-party wackos, the gun nuts, and other mindless right-wing groups were taking control. But there’s plenty of precedent for it. Again from the article: “Initially underestimated as a loose-knit band of malcontents and ideo-

logues, the tea-party movement has gained significant momentum and gone national.” That’s a textbook description of a group in 1930s Germany known as the National Socialist Party (Nazis for short). John J. Donohue Jr. Philadelphia jjdonoh@aol.com

It’s The People vs. The Corporations On Election Day, the nation will be competing in its own World Series — The Corporations vs. The People. The Corporations, with their millions of dollars both foreign and domestic, will have as their star player the Republican Party of No. They have as their star pitchmen Glenn Beck, who has called our president a racist, and Rush Limbaugh, who has called our president a jackass. The People will rely on the power of our vote and our hope to become one nation with everyone working together. The People can win. All we have to do is to show up at the polls in 2010 as we did in 2008 and vote for the Democrats who will support President Obama. John Robinson Jr. Coatesville

Get the facts on the candidates

Instead of just endorsing candidates and telling readers whom to vote for, The Inquirer should publish side-by-side candidate bios and fact-sheet comparisons of where they stand on issues. This would be a great help to voters who don’t always pay attention to campaigns or watch cable news. I find it appalling how misinformed many voters are on issues, from health-care reform to the stimulus and taxes to where President Obama was born. Janet Poore Plymouth Meeting

Approaching tyranny of liberals’ nanny state The column “Getting in touch with your inner progressive” (Oct. 8) misses or misstates several important points. First, being a conservative does not mean one is an anarchist. Conservatives believe there are many proper roles for the federal government, but they also believe that the federal government has usurped many of the responsibilities of state and local governments. Conservatives do not believe in “stasis”; they believe that the solutions to most of our problems rest with the citizens, not an oppressive federal authority. As with all ideas “progressive,” the assumption is that there are money trees growing on the National Mall. Conservatives understand that all well-intentioned progressive ideas cost lots of money, and that the country is teetering on the edge of a financial cliff. In other words, we are broke and must stop much of the spending. The federal government creates no wealth. It sucks it out of the private economy the way kings of old sucked tribute/taxes from the commoners. The problem with liberalism (progressivism) is that eventually you run out of the other guy’s money. This, combined with a Constitution written to limit the federal government’s power and a strong American sense of individual liberty, is a potent argument against the approaching tyranny of a progressive nanny state. Mike Morgan East Goshen

Inquirer heads into a new era

I have been a regular reader of The Inquirer ever since I began my career here in 1951. It has always produced worthy journalism, but never before reached the extraordinary level of excellence it achieved in the recent Tierney/Marimow era. Publisher Brian Tierney brought his amazing energy, creative talent, and concern for our community to the task of building a great paper. His choice of editor Bill Marimow gave readers a man at the very peak of personal integrity, with journalistic savvy, a wealth of professional experience, and a doggedness to build a better Philadelphia, often against heavy odds. Their departure leaves a huge gap for their successors to fill. I hope the new management will recognize their immense contribution to our community, and strive to equal the awesome standards they set. John C. Bogle Valley Forge

Pluses, minuses in latest economic reports

Upside: Retail sales exceed expectations; manufacturing gains. By Bob Willis

BLOOMBERG NEWS

Retail sales across the nation climbed more than forecast in September, easing concern that unemployment stuck near a 26-year high will bring the economic recovery to a halt. Sales rose 0.6 percent, which fol-

lowed a 0.7 percent gain in August, the Commerce Department said Friday. Other reports Friday showed that inflation cooled last month, and manufacturing in the New York region accelerated. While those were positive signs, an unexpected decline in consumer sentiment was a reminder that a jobless rate forecast to exceed 9 percent through next year will curb the consumer spending that accounts for 70 percent of the economy. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, in a See PRICES on A11

Sales rose 0.6 percent last month, topping the 0.4 percent forecast.

WASHINGTON — Another year without an increase in Social Security retirement and disability benefits is creating a political backlash that has President Obama and other Democrats pushing to give a $250 bonus to each of the program’s

58.7 million recipients. The Social Security Administration said Friday that inflation had been too low since the last increase in 2009 to warrant a raise for 2011. The announcement marks only the second year without an increase since automatic adjustments for inflation were adopted in 1975. This year was the first. Changes in benefits are based on the government’s Consumer Price Index from October of each year to September of the next year. The September index was released Friday See SOCIAL on A11

Deficit remains close to a record

Many U.S. firms hiring — overseas

The budget year’s final tally was $1.3 trillion, a small improvement. The forecast for this year is no better. By Martin Crutsinger ASSOCIATED PRESS

A General Motors Co. employee works on the underside of a vehicle at the company’s manufacturing plant in Talegaon, India. Increased hiring abroad by U.S. companies could hinder efforts to bring down the nation’s stubbornly high unemployment rate, now at 9.6 percent.

Outsourcing wave grows By Don Lee

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Although some U.S. firms are bringing overseas work back home, evidence is growing that companies are moving more jobs than ever to China and other countries — a trend that could hinder efforts to bring down the nation’s stubbornly high unemployment rate. One sign of the growing movement of jobs overseas is the rising number of applications for federal Trade Adjustment Assistance, which usually goes to factory workers who lost their jobs because their work was sent overseas or was undercut by cheaper imports. For the six months that ended Sept. 30, workers at about 1,200 offices and plants nationwide were approved for Trade Adjustment Assistance. That’s

about 20 percent more approvals than in the same six-month period last year, according to the Labor Department. In addition, the most recent Commerce Department data show that employment at the foreign subsidiaries and affiliates of U.S. multinational firms grew by 729,000, to 11.9 million, between 2006 and 2008. Over that period, domestic employment by such firms slipped by 500,000 jobs, to 21.1 million. “The paradigm has shifted,” said John Challenger, chief executive of the Chicago outplacement and consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. “Most companies see the next phase or era of growth as global. … That’ll still create jobs here, just not on the scale when they were focusing on growth in the U.S.” See OVERSEAS on A11

But the optimism couldn’t overcome worries about how banks such as Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. handled the foreclosure process on mortgages. Both banks, along with General Electric Co., were the primary factors in sending the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 30 points. “The market is not going to con-

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday that the federal deficit was a near-record $1.3 trillion for the just-completed budget year. That means the government had to borrow 37 cents out of every dollar it spent in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. The reason: Tax revenue continued to lag in a struggling economy, but spending on food stamps and unemployment benefits went up Tax as joblessness revenue stayed near doucontinued ble-digit levels. While expected, to lag, and the deficit numbers provide Re- food-stamp publican critics of and jobless President Obama’s fiscal stew- aid rose. ardship with fresh ammunition less than three weeks before the midterm elections. The deficit was $122 billion less than last year, a modest improvement. Voter anger over deficits and spending are a big problem for Democrats this election year. Republicans are slamming Democrats, who face big losses in November, for votes on Obama’s $814 billion economic stimulus last year and on President George W. Bush’s $700 billion bailout of Wall Street. Democrats say the recession would have been worse if the government had not stepped in with those programs to prop up the economy. They also note that most of the bailout, which began during the previous administration and was supported by many Republicans in Congress, has been repaid. Both parties have acknowledged that rising deficits will present headaches for policymakers regardless of which party controls Congress after November. The administration is projecting that the deficit for the 2011 budget year, which began Oct. 1, will climb to $1.4 trillion. Over the next decade, it is projected to total $8.47 trillion. Leading officials with the National Association for Business Economics cited excessive federal debt as their single greatest concern, even more than high unemployment. Obama’s bipartisan deficit commission is supposed to report a deficitcutting plan Dec. 1, but panel members are unsure whether they will be able to agree on anything approaching Obama’s goal of cutting the deficit to about 3 percent of the size of gross domestic product. Currently, the deficit is about 9.9 percent of GDP.

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Up-to-the-minute stock and mutual-fund quotes, customizable portfolios, company profiles, and more at http://go.philly.com/business From the Associated Press This week brings a flood of earnings reports for the July-September quarter.

UPS’ outlook

UPS (UPS)

Caterpillar reports

Caterpillar (CAT)

Apple and its iPad

When UPS announces its earnings Thursday, investors are likely to be more concerned with the shipping company’s take on the economy than how it did during the quarter. When UPS released its second-quarter results in July, it said it was seeing growth from companies, but it didn’t expect consumer spending to boost its business. That could be a negative for the economy.

Share price: $69.31

The maker of bulldozers, backhoes and other heavy equipment is also seen as an economic indicator. In August, the company’s CEO forecast “fantastic growth in our industry in the future.” If Caterpillar is still optimistic when it releases its report on Thursday, look for investors to start buying. CAT has been the biggest mover in the Dow Jones industrials this year.

Share price: $79.75

The Week Ahead

So, just how successful was the iPad during the July-September period? That’s the question investors want answered as Apple releases its results on Monday. They’re not only interested in Apple’s performance. If iPad sales are as strong as everyone expects, that may take business away from big laptop makers including Dell and Hewlett-Packard. $300

Schmidt and Brown battle again in Evesham race Burlington County’s largest township is also an arena for several other election fights. By Maya Rao

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Mike Schmidt was preparing only six months ago to back the reelection campaign of his political ally and fellow Democrat, Evesham Mayor Randy Brown. Today, Brown is a Republican who’s paying for mailers accusing Schmidt — his opponent — of never meeting a tax he didn’t hike. The Nov. 2 election for mayor of Burlington County’s largest town pits a low-key

relative outsider against an outspoken incumbent whose slate has already spent five times more money on the campaign than its foes have. Schmidt, an engineer, ran his first race in 2005 with hardly any money. He won by 36 votes, but lost a bid for a second term in 2009. Brown, the owner of a title company, is the son of a former mayor who boasts that internal polling shows he has 97 percent name recognition among residents. “I really like and respect Michael for his four years that he served — I just believe I’m a better mayor than he would be,”

said Brown, adding, “We’re friends.” County GOP consultant Chris Russell said Evesham is a battleground, even at the county and congressional levels. It’s the largest municipality in the Third Congressional District, where U.S. Rep. John Adler, a Democrat, and Republican Jon Runyan are in a fierce race. Also in Burlington County, Republican Freeholder Joseph Donnelly is seeking a second term against Democratic challenger Aimee Belgard. Democrat Julius Coltre is running for sheriff against incumbent Republican Jean Stanfield. See EVESHAM on B3

President’s House to open in December By Stephan Salisbury

INQUIRER CULTURE WRITER

Park, joint managers, say construction will be completed by mid-November at the latest, and exhibits and video dramatizations will be installed in stages over the next several weeks. Rosalyn McPherson, who is overseeing the $10.5 million project for the city, characterized the Dec. 6 event as “a soft opening,” adding that the hoopla would be reserved for July Fourth. City officials are hoping to corral President Obama for those midsummer festivities. “President’s House: Freedom and Slavery in Making a New Nation” — formal title of the project — consists of an evocation of the mansion once at Sixth and Market

Streets, which served as the center of presidential power when Philadelphia was the nation’s capital in the 1790s. The actual house was torn down in 1832. Visitors will enter a highly stylized brick rendering, created by Kelly/Maiello Architects & Planners, passing exhibit panels that discuss not only the nation’s first chief executives, but the very real and significant presence of Africans held by Washington.

Donald Farish, the Rowan University president credited with leading the state school through a wide range of improvement projects, announced Friday he will step down when his contract expires in 2012. The disclosure, made at an open campus meeting, came as rumors have been swirling around the Glassboro campus about a growing divide between Farish and the board of trustees. Farish, in his address, acknowledged the rumors but said he was not being forced to resign. In an interview after the meeting, Farish, who was appointed as the university’s sixth president in 1998, said he felt 14 years was a long-enough term. “It’s time for somebody else to come in. I’m not a believer in ‘president for life,’ ” said Farish, who has degrees in law and science. Of the trustees, he said: “I have not felt I can’t work with

the board. I have many supporters on the board.” Farish said he would have made his announcement later in the year, but thought the rumors were becoming too distracting. Donald “I needed to get in Farish has front of this thing,” led in years he said. of growth. University sources said at least some trustees wanted the board to have a more direct hand in governing and, in tough economic times coupled with years of reductions in state aid, more financial oversight. Approval of the university’s budget was held up this year, causing some in the campus community to speculate that trouble might be afoot. Several trustees who were called for comment did not respond Friday. Farish, who is paid $300,000 a See FARISH on B2

Camden library may be on campus The downtown library might move to Rutgers and be operated as part of the county system. By James Osborne

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Rutgers University and Camden leaders are discussing a plan to place a public library branch on the Rutgers-Camden campus, officials said Friday. The move would be part of a broader plan to make city libraries part of the Camden County system. Under the deal being considered, the existing downtown library on Federal Street would be replaced by a facility on the campus. The city’s new branch in the Centerville neighborhood is expected to remain open. “Given the limited financial resources, everyone is looking for a way to continue library services to the people of the city, and this is a way,” said Martin McKernan, president of the Camden library board. The Camden Free Public Library system appeared on the

displaying outright bad form — but even in this most well-mannered corner of gamedom, there is a complaints department. In play here, with eight major championships offering a cup, a trophy, glory, and no prize money, that department is called appeals, and consists of large tables pushed together in Room 303 of the Marriott in Center City, where the World Bridge Series is winding down. The World Bridge Federation, sponsor of the series and official rulesmaker for the game, has 18 members on its appeals committee in Philadelphia, including federation president José Damiani and the committee chair, Joan Gerard, who is overseeing all details of the series.

verge of insolvency this year after state and city funding cuts. The city cut funding for the 105-year-old library system from $908,000 last year to $389,000 this year, part of an effort to close a $28 million budget gap. In August, Mayor Dana L. Redd announced talks to merge the city’s libraries into the county system. Staffers from the city and county are set to meet next week to go over the spatial requirements and logistics of creating a new downtown library. And Rutgers officials are discussing whether they would place the public library within the university library or somewhere else on campus, said Mike Sepanic, a spokesman for Rutgers-Camden. “It would be a county library annex housed in Rutgers,” he said. “There’s no timeline yet. We’re still wrapping our heads See CAMDEN on B5

“If it’s a matter of law, it can’t be appealed,” Gerard said Thursday, referring to the basic rules of the game. “If it’s a matter of judgment, it can be appealed.” For example, a question can come up about the way one pair of players explained to the other pair what its bids meant. In bridge, two pairs of players bid to determine a dominant suit in each hand, plus how many tricks they believe they can win. Bridge can be an intense game, especially at high-level championship play. But at that level, as you’d expect, players know what they’re doing, and disputes are relatively few.

Unlocked car fine dropped after backlash

Public complaints over privacy caused Upper Moreland police chief to suspend the program. By Peter Mucha

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

that his enforcement plan would open the door — literally — to rights-infringing searches. He declined requests from CNN and Fox News to appear to discuss the proposal, reportedly tried so far only in parts of Australia. As outlined at a township meeting Monday, the plan was that a first offense would draw a warning in the form of a flier left on the driver’s seat. The doors would then be locked.

Subsequent violations within one year would earn a $25 ticket. The ordinance would be enforced by police or civilian department members checking the doors of autos parked on neighborhood streets — not in residential driveways. Because thefts from cars are often committed by young drug abusers, such a plan might help drive them out of town, he stated. But assorted citizens from near and far got riled about their rights. They called or e-mailed the chief. “ ’Fascist pig’ was very pop-

ular. I’ve become very comfortable with being called that now,” he said. The attitude perplexes Nestel, since there’s wide acceptance of all sorts of minor rules — like how high lawns can grow. “There are definitely people who have missed the point on this, and they’re focusing on the government making law instead of on solving a legitimate problem,” he said. One e-mailer wondered if Upper Moreland was going to fine children for forgetting to wear gloves in winter.

Adler has 4 times the money of Runyan

Going into the final weeks of New Jersey’s most competitive congressional race, freshman Democratic U.S. Rep. John Adler has about four times as much money on hand as Republican challenger Jon Runyan. Adler’s campaign said he had $1.6 million on hand as of Sept. 30; Runyan has $403,000, according to his campaign. Both Third District candidates were to submit their campaign finance reports to the Federal Election Commission by 12:01 a.m. Saturday. Adler’s campaign did not respond to requests for information on how much money it had spent. Runyan has spent $716,000. Since the beginning of the campaign, Adler has raised $3 million and Runyan $1.1 million. — Cynthia Burton

Camden man gets 12 years in gang plot

A Camden man who admitted his role in a conspiracy to kill another member of a New Jersey street gang has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. Dionicio Adams, 29, pleaded guilty in June to a first-degree charge of conspiracy to commit murder. He must serve more than 10 years of the sentence imposed Friday before becoming eligible for parole. Adams and Juan Vargas, 27, whom state prosecutors say was the street commander of the Camden-based Nine Trey Headbustas and led its drug trafficking operations, admitted plotting to murder Nathaniel Clay. Investigators learned of the planned shooting and arrested the pair before it was carried out. — AP

Task force says state should not run NJN

TRENTON — A legislative task force says the state should no longer be in the business of running a public television and radio network. Gov. Christie said this year that New Jersey cannot afford to operate New Jersey Network. His budget eliminated state funding for it after Dec. 31. A report released Friday by the 10-member bipartisan task force created to study NJN’s future basically endorsed Christie’s plan to convert it from a government entity to an independent broadcast outlet. The panel said the Legislature needs to create an entity to inventory NJN’s assets and negotiate transfer of the licenses. The task force said that body also must ensure that a new operator continue to provide “Jersey-centric” programming. — AP

The public has spoken, which is how democracy is meant to work, Nestel said. “This isn’t a loss for anybody,” he said. “I got the word out about the problem and the easy solution.” No Plan B is in the works. Upper Moreland won’t tweet unlocked-car locations to drive the message home. Or leave big signs on unlocked sedans announcing “Laptop Here,” he said.

Lawsuit filed over N.Y. Megabus crash

News in Brief

Federal tax returns show Gov. Christie and his wife, a finance executive, earned $544,000 in gross income for 2009, a year he spent running for governor, and paid $147,000 in federal taxes. Christie’s wife is a vice president of Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services firm. Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and her husband paid $72,000 in federal taxes on $317,000 in gross income. Guadagno was Monmouth County sheriff. Her husband is a Superior Court judge. The Christies had requested a tax filing extension. The Guadagnos filed their federal taxes in April, but she declined to release returns ahead of the governor. — AP

Another wrote that he hoped to get fined so he could sue to try to have the courts toss out such an ordinance. In a poll on Philly.com, “No fines — and stay out of my car!” was favored by 80 percent of respondents. Nestel, a 25-year veteran of policing who’s working toward his doctorate in criminology at the University of Pennsylvania, argued that the system — including seizing contraband discovered while locking cars or leaving fliers — would be constitutional. The town solicitor didn’t disagree, he added.

An appeal is made after a director — one of the referees of tournaments, easily recognizable by their khaki vests as they roam the large salons where hundreds may be playing — is challenged on an instant decision. “You say to a director, ‘I want to appeal this,’ and the director and supervising director and a five-person appeals committee meets — never more than one person from the country that is appealing,” explained Gerard. At the series, tables are transnational, so the players could be from any of the 40 countries represented. The director’s decision is considered correct until the appellants convince the com-

A South Jersey woman has filed suit after suffering head injuries last month in an Upstate New York bus crash that killed four people. Candice Burks, 26, of Mount Laurel, was one of 28 passengers aboard a doubledecker Megabus traveling from Philadelphia to Toronto on Sept. 11. About 2:30 a.m., driver John Tomaszewski missed an exit to the Syracuse bus station and doubled back. Police said he was looking at a personal GPS device when he drove the 13-foot-high bus into a railroad bridge with only an 11-foot clearance. About a dozen signs and flashing yellow lights lead up to the bridge, warning drivers of the height restrictions. “When you have a bus going at full speed and it just stops on a dime like that, you’re going to have people who are badly injured,” said Burks’ attorney, Shanin Specter. Burks suffered head, neck, and back injuries, Specter

In one of those cases, both members of a pair complained that they had received different explanations for a bid from the other pair; players are permitted to ask opposing pairs what specific bids mean. The committee, after hearing the players and reading an appeal form filled out by the director summoned by the players during the game, adjusted the score.

Farish

World’s bridge czar ready for a new deal By Howard Shapiro

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

The final day of play Saturday at the World Bridge Series, in Philadelphia since Oct. 1, marks a milestone for a Parisian who has presided over the World Bridge Federation for 16 years. José Damiani will officially step down as president of the international organization, which runs the world series every four years and other competitions as well as regulating the game. He will pass the baton — or in this case, the bidding — to Gianarrigo Rona of Italy. A man with a large grin and a determined gait, Damiani has been a major presence at the Marriott in Center City during the last two weeks, popping up everywhere during the games but administering, not playing. Damiani originally wanted to play tennis but was discouraged in his 20s, when a circulation problem in his hips kept him from reaching higher levels of play. He had played bridge as a student, “so it came to my mind that as long as I love competition, I can play bridge.” At 32, he became France’s champion

Specter, of Kline & Specter P.C., said a number of other passengers suffered injuries that varied from mild to severe. “The full extent of their injuries won’t be known until later,” he said. “Brain injuries and impairments can last for a lifetime and you just don’t know after an accident how a person could end up.” Burks’ negligence suit, filed Friday in Common Pleas Court, seeks more than $50,000 and is believed to be the first resulting from the crash. It names as defendants Tomaszewski, of Yardville, N.J., and two New Jersey bus companies: Coach USA of Paramus and Olympic Trails Bus Co. of Elizabeth. Tomaszewski could not be reached for comment Friday. The president of Coach USA said he had not yet seen the complaint. Contact staff writer Sam Wood at 215-854-2796 or samwood@phillynews.com.

Cardona acknowledged that tight economic times and the university’s ambitions to thrive had led to “different thoughts on how to proceed,” but did not characterize those differences as tensions. Of the decision to hire general counsel, he said, in speaking for Trustees Chairwoman Helene Reed, that all boards face increasing responsibility and that the Rowan trustees “needed counsel to guide it through issues that pertain to board responsibility and oversight.” “I am personally disappointed because I’ve worked closely with him since about 2000. … He always had a great vision,” said M. Larry Litwin, associate professor of public relations/advertising. “The work that he has done with the people of Glassboro and officials in the Borough of Glassboro [to improve downtown relations] took extreme dedication.” Eric Milou, Rowan Senate president and mathematics professor, said he had “mixed feelings” about Farish’s departure. “This is a man who has led this campus very well,” he said, but he acknowledged that Farish had served for much longer than the average for college presidents. Student Danielle Larsen, 21, called Farish’s decision to leave very regrettable. Said the sociology major: “He definitely made helpful changes,” particularly regarding campus safety. In an interview Friday, Farish said one of his priorities was to see that there is a smooth transition to the next president.

Schmidt and Brown battle again in Evesham

EVESHAM from B1 In Evesham, Republicans Steve Zeuli and Councilwoman Deb Hackman are facing Democrats Mark Ornstein and Kathleen Santomero for two open seats on the township council. Voter turnout traditionally was poor in municipal races because Evesham, as a nonpartisan town, long held elections in May. But residents voted in 2009 to change the form of government to partisan and move elections to November, so this is the first time residents will see candidates identified as Republicans and Democrats on the ballot. Leaving nothing to chance, the mayor’s team is planning a get-out-the-vote operation that allows it to track voter data in real-time on BlackBerries. Schmidt, for his part, is again taking the no-frills approach to campaigning. In an orange letter that accompanied copies of the Marlton Telegram last week, the Democratic slate pledged not to spend a lot of money or make negative attacks. It outlined a plan for keeping spending in check and making government more accessible. Democrats say they will review “discretionary spending,” limit professional fees, adopt a multi-year financial plan, and seek new revenues to reduce taxes. They want Evesham’s various taxing entities to identify ways to consolidate and share services.

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Pointing to the township council’s adoption this year of a $3.5 million bond ordinance for road improvements, Schmidt said he would go a step further and put all major spending decisions to the voters. And he wants any votes on property taxes to require a supermajority of four out of five council votes to pass, rather than the three currently needed. “Our focus is not to raise taxes,” said Schmidt. “We can’t afford that anymore.” Schmidt said everything except public safety would be on the table as he looked to cut spending. He called his vote to raise municipal taxes 27 percent in 2008 a mistake. Brown also voted for the increase, despite promising in his 2007 campaign to stop double-digit tax hikes. But the mayor — echoing comments he made with Schmidt and other council members at the time — said the tax increase was the result of hard decisions made after the previous council left incoming members with a multimillion-dollar deficit. He pointed to his record over the last two budgets, under which local purpose taxes have stayed roughly flat. Like Schmidt, Brown said his goal was to keep taxes flat next year. Brown said during his term the payroll has shrunk from 203 to 170 employees. The township also has won concessions from workers, such as

having them contribute to their health insurance costs. Brown says he thinks people will vote for him because they like the town’s direction. “Everything we’ve done is with an eye to the future,” he said. But Schmidt questioned Brown’s integrity for switching to the Republican side, saying he’d joined the party that went after him relentlessly in his 2007 campaign. “Now he’s teamed up with them because he believes that’s his best chance to win,” said Schmidt. Brown initially changed his affiliation from Republican to Democrat for the 2007 campaign, with a slate that won substantial financial backing from the Burlington County Democrats. The mayor called his partyswap a “non-issue,” and instead was eager to talk about the township’s progress under his leadership. Brown said recreation and senior services have improved during his term, new businesses are coming to town, and solar panels funded by government grants are going up on the roofs of three municipal buildings. The Marlton Circle also has been eliminated, as part of a plan that initially drew fierce opposition. He questioned Schmidt’s proposal to put major decisions before the voters, saying residents elect people to make decisions on what is best for the community, and going up for a vote every time the town wanted to borrow money would slow things down. Schmidt said Brown has divided the town. He pointed to a controversy in 2008 in which the mayor spearheaded a move to pay for artificial turf on the Cherokee High School football field with municipal open space funds. Residents sued to stop the project. Schmidt, who voted for the turf measure and also now voices regret for doing so, said Brown had acted adversarially toward residents at council meetings. Schmidt wants to make municipal government more accessible by broadcasting all council meetings, posting budgets online, and creating programs for local officials to reach out to the community. Brown disputed Schmidt’s assertions. “I have brought the community together. … Leaders make tough decisions,” the mayor said.

President’s House exhibit is set to open in early Dec.

HOUSE from B1 slaved labored; an underground passage used by the slaves and other servants; and a bow window designed by Washington and thought by some to be inspiration for the oval rooms of the White House. Several video panels will present dramatic vignettes written by novelist Lorene Cary and directed by Louis Massiah of Scribe Video Center. The enslaved status of those who labored for Washington in Philadelphia is memorialized by a glass-andwood structure at the back of the house, just a few feet from the entrance to the Liberty Bell Center. The tension between power and slavery at the core of the household — and the nation’s birth — has both energized and bedeviled the project from its start over seven years ago. Those working on interpretive materials have wrestled with issues of balance — how much text should be devoted to the well-known lives of Washington and Adams? How

much should be focused on Washington’s enslaved, and by extension, the role of slavery in building wealth and power throughout Philadelphia and the nation? Karen Warrington, director of communications for Rep. Bob Brady (D., Pa.) and a member of a project reviewing panel, said that the discussions of the material had to end at some point. “You have to put a period at the end,” she said, even if participants are not entirely satisfied. “I knew I wasn’t going to get everything I wanted,” she said. “I said that at meetings.” Michael Coard, a leader of the Avenging the Ancestors Coalition, which has pressed for recognition of the enslaved at the site, said he also had reservations about the exhibits. “But as a black man who realizes that this is a government-funded project on federal property, I’m a pragmatist who views this project as a giant step in the right direction,” he said. Independent historian Ed Lawler Jr., whose research

sparked interest in the site in 2002, said he hoped for the best. “Balance was the great challenge of this project,” he said. McPherson said final comments from all advisory groups on text for exhibit panels and other interpretive material had been received by the end of August. “By [then], everybody had had enough to say,” she said. “You can’t keep going back and going back. Otherwise it would never end.” Contact culture writer Stephan Salisbury at 215-854-5594 or ssalisbury@phillynews.com.

Toll Brothers’ Naval Square: Philadelphia’s top-selling community Toll Brothers’ Naval Square, a gated community in Center City, recently was named Philadelphia’s top-selling condominium community by the Philadelphia Inquirer.* Sales are booming at the historic property that has been transformed into an impressive community of distinctive condominiums and townhomes. Naval Square is an exquisite 20-acre community in a park-like setting that holds the prestigious National Historic Landmark status. This gated community is located within walking distance of fine dining, cultural venues and entertainment. Residents enjoy easy access to the heart of both Center City and University City, each just a short walk away. “We looked at many places before deciding on Naval Square’ and nothing really compared,” said Naval Square homeowner Art Silver. “We feel like we’re living in a park-like setting with big-city conveniences. We’re close to everything including terrific restaurants, Rittenhouse Square, public transportation and the Schulykill River Trail.” Naval Square offers an array of world-class amenities including a spectacular outdoor pool and sundeck, a 24-hour gate attendant, and a community center featuring an entertainment area and billiards table. An expansive, state-ofthe-art fitness center offers the latest in cardiovascular and weight-training equipment providing residents a fun and healthy environment to achieve their desired fitness goals. Shuttle service is available to areas throughout the city, including 30th Street Station, the Central Business District and the University of Pennsylvania. Naval Square is pet-friendly (dogs and cats are permitted).

“What sold me on Naval Square, besides the pool and gym right in my building and the garage downstairs, is the suburban feel of this quiet neighborhood with the trees, grass and the dogfriendly environment,” said Naval Square homeowner Gregory Fridman. “The friendliness and positive attitudes of my neighbors only add to my daily enjoyment of this wonderful condo.” Naval Square has crafted a collection of distinctive residences that cater to buyers’ specific

needs. Regardless of your lifestyle, you’ll find Naval Square offers more housing types, more space, more features, and most importantly, more comforts of home — all in an exclusive gated community. Naval Square’s floorplans are stylish, with well-designed kitchens and luxurious master bedroom suites. The homes range from singlelevel condominiums priced from the mid$300,000s to spacious three-bedroom townhomes priced from the $400,000s and offering a more

This distinctive collection of Philadelphia luxury homes are truly one-of-a-kind. “After house hunting throughout Philadelphia, Naval Square offered us exactly what we were looking for — a spacious home in a family-friendly community with great neighbors and a wonderful sales staff,” said Naval Square homeowner Jordan Wallach. “We’re so happy we moved here.” The community also affords its homeowners a 10-year tax abatement, and a garage or deeded parking is included with each home. Plus, residents enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle, allowing them more time to do the things they love. “Moving to Naval Square was one of the smartest decisions I ever made. I look out on our beautiful parade grounds and never again have to worry about shoveling snow or taking care of the garden,” said Naval Square homeowner Wendy Wiesmiller. “The fitness center next to the pool offers every type of exercise equipment one could possibly imagine. I particularly enjoy walking the parade grounds with my dog on a regular basis. Naval Square is definitely pet-friendly, which was quite a draw for me.” To learn more about Naval Square, call 215732-8655, or visit the sales center at 2420 Grays Ferry Ave., Philadelphia.

First-time homebuyers’ FAQs answered If today’s astonishingly low mortgage interest rates and affordable housing prices have you seriously considering buying your first home, following are answers to a few frequently asked questions. Most of these answers are offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on its website, www.hud.gov/buying/comq.cfm. Why should I buy instead of rent? When you rent, you write your monthly check, and the money is gone forever. But when you own a home, you can deduct the cost of your mortgage loan interest from your federal income taxes and usually from your state taxes. This saves you a lot of money each year, because the interest you pay will make up most of your monthly payment for most of the years of your mortgage. As a homeowner, you also can deduct your property taxes.

How can I be sure what I can afford in monthly mortgage payments? Use the mortgage calculators found here: * www.ginniemae.gov/ypth /index.asp?Section=YPTH, or * http://phillynews.interest.com If the amount you can afford is significantly less than the cost of homes that interest you, you may not be able to comfortably afford to buy a house at this time. Before you give up, contact a real estate broker who can help you evaluate your loan potential. A broker will know what kinds of mortgages lenders are offering and can help you choose a lender with a program that’s right for you. Note, financial advisers warn against spending more than 30 percent of your household income on housing costs, as it can crimp other expenditures and savings. Agreeing to pay more than 30 percent on housing leaves little room for unexpected shocks to your income, such as illness or unemployment. Currently, 37.4 percent of Delaware Valley homeowners pay more than 30 percent of their income on housing, which is about the national average, according to Real Time Economics. Another good idea: Get pre-qualified for a loan before you start looking at homes. Then you’ll know exactly how much you can afford, and it’ll speed the process once you find the home of your dreams.

broker will put your earnest money into an escrow account. If the offer is accepted, your earnest money will be applied to the downpayment or closing costs. If your offer isn’t accepted, your money will be returned to you. 2. Downpayment is the percentage of the home’s cost you must pay when you go to settlement. The more money you put into a downpayment, the lower your mortgage payments will be. Some types of loans require 10 to 20 percent of the purchase price. 3. Closing costs are associated with processing paperwork to buy a house. Closing costs, which you pay at settlement, average 3 to 4 percent of the home’s price. These costs cover fees your lender charges and other processing expenses. When you apply for your loan, your lender will give you an estimate of closing costs.

Can I become a homebuyer if I have bad credit and don’t have much for a downpayment? You may be a good candidate for one of the federal mortgage programs. Start by contacting a HUD-funded housing counseling agency that can help you sort through your options. To locate one, call 800-569-4287, or click on your state at www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm. Also, contact your city, county and state government to see about any local homebuying programs available. Look in your phone directory’s blue pages for your local office of housing and community development, or contact your mayor’s or county executive’s office.

How do I find a lender? You can finance a home with a loan from a bank, a savings and loan, a credit union, a private mortgage company, or various state government lenders. Shopping for a loan is like shopping for any other large purchase: You can save money if you look around for the best prices. Different lenders offer quite different interest rates and loan fees. Talk with several lenders before you decide. Most lenders need three to six weeks for the loan-approval process. Your real estate broker will be familiar with lenders in the area and what they’re offering. Or you can look in your local newspaper’s real estate section. Most papers list interest rates being offered by local lenders. (For those in the Delaware Valley, see the “Inquirer Mortgage Guide” in the Sunday Inquirer’s Real Estate pages.)

Should I use a real estate broker? Yes. The details involved in homebuying, particularly the financial ones, can be mind-boggling. A real estate professional can guide you through the entire process and make the experience much easier. A real estate broker will be acquainted with the things you’ll want to know about a neighborhood, the quality of schools, safety of the neighborhood and more. He or she will help you determine the price range you can afford and search the classified ads and multiple listing services for homes to see. Indeed, a broker can save you hours of wasted driving-around time. And when it’s time to make an offer on a home, your broker can point out ways to structure your deal to save you money. He or she will explain about types of mortgages, guide you through the paperwork and answer last-minute questions when you sign the final papers at closing.

In addition to the mortgage payment, what other costs will I owe? Monthly utilities and property taxes, as well as homeowner or condo association dues, and city or county taxes, if applicable. What will my mortgage cover? Most loans have four parts: 1. principal, which is repayment of the amount you borrowed; 2. interest, which is payment to the lender for the money you borrowed; 3. homeowners insurance, a monthly amount to insure the property against loss from fire and other hazards (as is required by most lenders); and 4. property taxes. Most loans are for 30 years, although 15-year loans are now widely available.

How much money will I need to buy a home? That depends on several factors, including the cost of the house and the type of mortgage you get. In general, you need enough money to cover three costs: 1. Earnest money is a deposit you make when you submit your offer on a home to prove to the seller you’re serious about wanting to buy the house. When you make an offer, your

Autumn home maintenance tips

Before the snow falls and temperatures drop, tackle some routine fall maintenance chores to keep your house in tip-top shape. From draining to filling, learn how to seal in heat, prevent roof damage and protect your home during the cold months ahead. Call a professional to inspect your heating and hot water systems. He or she will check the furnace, filters, pilot lights and burners, and service any parts needing maintenance and repairs. Also, a professional can ensure the thermostat is working properly. Remember to change your furnace filters every month and keep the area surrounding your furnace free of all flammable materials. Fall is a good time to drain your hot-water heater and remove sediment from the bottom of the tank. Give your chimney a good sweep or hire a profes-

sional to do so. Clean out ashes from your fireplace. Then cap or screen the top of the chimney to shield it from rodents and birds. As the cold air sets in, rodents will seek entryways into and under your home to stay warm, so inspect the foundation, and then seal all holes and cracks with caulk. Also use caulk to seal the glass in windows and doors, and their trim. Install or replace weather stripping, and fill cracks around pipes and electrical outlets. This will prevent cold air from entering the home and hot air from escaping. Replace entirely, rather than board up, any cracked or broken windows. Remove screens and install storm windows and doors, if you use them. If your home has an attic, confirm there is an adequate amount of insulation installed. Add more if neces-

sary. If your home has a basement, cover its window wells with plastic shields. Clean out all gutters, eaves and downspouts. Gutters clogged with leaves can cause flooding in the basement when snow melts. Clean the eaves out to prevent ice, snow and water from building up and causing the roof to leak. Check the roof and around vents, skylights and chimneys for leaks, and repair any damages. After cleaning, spray the roof with a garden hose and watch the runoff to ensure all blockage has been cleared. If you have window air-conditioning units, remove and store them for the winter or place weatherproof covers over them. Drain and shut off outdoor hoses, water faucets and pipes. Insulate any water pipes that could be exposed to freezing temperatures. Prepare your landscaping and gardening tools for the winter. Trim any tree branches hanging too close to your home or near electrical wires. If necessary, seal driveways, brick patios and wooden decks. Move potted plants inside before the first frost. Drain gas from lawnmowers before storing for the winter. Before you store garden tools and equipment, clean all dirt away and leave the equipment dry. If you use a snow blower, service or tune it before you need it. Stock up on snow shovels and ice-melt. And keep your eyes open for yearend clearance sales on summer lawn and gardening equipment. Fall is a good time to give your house a safety checkup, as well. Check carbon monoxide and smoke detectors to make sure they are working properly. Replace batteries if necessary. Check fire extinguishers, and charge or replace, if necessary. Because the sun sets earlier in the day in winter, it’s likely you’ll start arriving home from work after dark. Install a motion-detecting light to illuminate your walk into the home. This will ensure guests have a safe walk into your home, as well. Household maintenance is an important aspect of home ownership. Your seasonal chores will keep your home cozy for now, and help prevent damage and costly repairs in the future.

Can’t add much depth to what is truly inane By Roger Moore

ORLANDO SENTINEL

unny is funny, and 20 years of America’s Funniest Home Videos and a decade of Jackass prove it. A shot to the groin is as reliable a laugh as there is. And if the shot comes from a baseball on a tee, a football place-kicked, or a ram, bull or buffalo aiming for a man’s center of gravity, so much the funnier. Jackass 3D fires paintballs and

“Jackass 3D” features Johnny Knoxville acting like one. The routines are heavy on groin kicks and bodily wastes, and if you wonder what that’s like in 3-D — well, as they say, “what did you think would happen?”

‘LUTHER’ takes ’em on

This British police show is among the best — and it has to be, judging by the firepower on other channels.

et’s go to the adjective store to describe Luther, a British police show premiering Sunday at 9 p.m. Powerful, challenging, ambiguous, surprising, dark, odd, stunning, grisly, disturbing, raw, sexy, taut, intense, captivating. One critic called it “creepy.” Another adjective comes to mind to describe the programmers at BBC America, which will be telecasting Luther: stupid. There are so many places to schedule a series, and they chose Sundays between 9 and 10:30 p.m. This show is sure to ap-

peal to Masterpiece: Mystery! fans, who have been wallowing in psychologically complex police thrillers for years. Luther has a lot in common with the current Mystery! occupant, “Wallander.” Focusing on a gifted misfit in the London police department, Luther is even closer in feel to the Helen Mirren series, Prime Suspect, though perhaps a half-step below in quality, which is in no way a knock. Masterpiece Mystery! airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on PBS. See 'LUTHER' on D3

Space Station. The Please Touch Museum is inviting aspiring space travelers to a new exhibit, described as an out-of-this-world adventure. The area, which replaced the “Flying Machine” exhibit, offers various play experiences. The centerpiece is the shiny silver rocket that soars above young visitors. An 18-foot steel Ring Tower provides kids with targets as they attempt to shoot rockets through the rings. Youngsters can suit up like astronauts in front of a blue screen and pretend to walk in space or fly their own rocket ship through the solar system. At the Mission Control Board, astronauts-in-training can practice their flying skills, as each lever and button on the board produces a different space-age effect. — Monica Peters Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays, museum in Memorial Hall in Fairmount Park, 4231 Avenue of the Republic. Admission: $15 for ages 1 and older; free for museum members and children younger than 1. Information: 215-581-3181, www.pleasetouchmuseum.org.

built around footage from a Nazi propaganda film shot inside the Warsaw Ghetto in the spring of 1942.

Let Me In This bittersweet tween-age romance is also a gripping, graphic vampire thriller. A rigorously faithful adaptation of the 2008 Swedish film, Let the Right One In, with Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Chloé Moretz (Kick-Ass) as the outcast boy and the bloodsucking girl. R

“Fascinating! The acting is superb.”

Television

BBC’s ‘Luther’ sizes up the rivals

'LUTHER' from D1 Luther’s not as gory as Dexter (what is?), and it’s just a little more about solving cases, but it’s also primarily the study of a title character filled with rage and bad guys who get too near frequently winding up dead. Dexter airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on Showtime. Boardwalk Empire has almost nothing thematically in common with Luther. Its budget is much larger, and it bustles in the long-ago with scads of characters, while Luther is more intimate, compact and compellingly contemporary. But both are very carefully filmed. Frequently, if you’ve got the right equipment, you can freeze-frame and feel as if you’re staring at a painting, one a little gauzy and baroque, the other a step or two from abstract expressionism. Boardwalk Empire airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO. Thank goodness it’s 2010, and a viewer is no longer helpless in the face of this absolute train wreck of terrific TV. You can record some of it. You can watch it later on demand. PBS doesn’t give you another scheduled shot during the week to watch Mystery!, but HBO and Showtime provide lots of chances to catch up with their shows. BBC America will rerun the Luther premiere at 9 p.m. Thursday. Encore airings of future episodes are yet to be scheduled, so after finding BBC America in the first place (in most Comcast systems it’s channel 114), you’ll have to check every week if you choose to watch Ruth Wilson as on a night Alice Morgan, other than witness in a Sunday. grim murder. The show stars Idris Elba, who seemed like such an authentic Baltimore gangster when he played Stringer Bell in The Wire. But he’s a native Londoner, and at the television critics’ summer gathering in Los Angeles, he demonstrated that John Luther’s accent and speech patterns are also different from his own. Elba is flat-out scary as a detective who’s too smart to fit in and too angry in the face of continual crime and depravity to care. And Ruth Wilson, who played the title character in PBS’s most recent Jane Eyre, is also flat-out scary as Alice Morgan, an astrophysicist who got her Ph.D. at 18 and comes into Luther’s life as a witness in a grim murder case. He’s large and black, with a stubbly beard. She’s small, with alabaster skin, blue eyes, red hair, and a charming overbite. Their relationship, which lasts over the entire six-episode first season of Luther (a typical series order in Britain), is unlike any that has come before on TV. The contrast of their appearance contributes to some of those visually striking scenes. There’s a case a night in the first three episodes, and the show gets even less traditional, more deeply psychological and truly jaw-dropping in the final three. Most of the time, viewers and detective know who the criminal is; the nutsand-bolts story and suspense is in the catching. But it’s the opposite of Columbo, the classic cat-andmouse detective show, a howdunnit, rather than a whodunit. With the tormented Luther, it’s sometimes tough even to identify who is the cat and who is the mouse. Writing and acting come together to produce characters, more than stories, who are powerful, surprising, ambiguous, and all that other stuff.

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Singer and songwriter make a winning duo CONCERT from D1 (already skilled in evoking a sparse, Southwest sonic ambience as members of Tucson’s Giant Sand), and Scottish guitarist Jim McCulloch (exSoup Dragons), along with Seattle’s Jeff Fielder on guitar, Dobro, and keyboards. The key element, however, was former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan and his deep, grittily textured yet mellifluous voice. Campbell, 34, has written three albums largely centered on his vocals, utilizing the marvelous instrument most recently on Hawk (which provided 10 of their 23 numbers). Thursday was the second night of Campbell and Lanegan’s first U.S. tour, finally bringing stateside the blend of Campbell’s

high, breathy Scots purr and Lanegan’s rumbling, whiskeysoaked tones. The underrated Lanegan, from Ellensburg, Wash., arguably represents the finest voice to emerge from the grunge era, an inspiration to Kurt Cobain — who played on his 1990 solo LP — and Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell. His brooding interpretation of Hank Williams’ “Ramblin’ Man” on Thursday was a fine, dark read. Lanegan, 45, and Campbell (a classically trained cellist, who left Scotland’s “twee pop” ensemble Belle & Sebastian in 2002) have been serviceably likened to other contrasting male/female noir-pop pairings such as Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra; or Serge Gainsbourg and Jane

Birkin (or Brigitte Bardot); but their union is distinct. Campbell is the orchestrator, often putting Lanegan up front, as on “Come on Over (Turn Me On),” where her key vocal contribution was an emphatic, sexy whisper of the title’s parenthetical phrase. Other originals and a welcome cover of late Gun Club leader Jeffrey Lee Pierce’s “Free to Walk” had more vocal balance. Campbell also brought out Martha’s Vineyard singer/songwriter Willy Mason (the night’s solo acoustic opener) to duet on “No Place to Fall,” one of Hawk’s two Townes Van Zandt covers (Mason is also on the album). Lanegan later impressed anew, closing with his original “Wedding Dress.”

Isobel Campbell has written three albums largely centered on Mark Lanegan’s vocals, mostly recently “Hawk.” Ten of their 23 numbers at Johnny Brenda’s came from that album.

Richards throws stones at Jagger By Tirdad Derakhshani INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Even the rollingest stoningest love can shatter. So proves Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, who writes in his forthcoming memoir Life that after an intense friendship, he and warbler Mick Jagger have been estranged for decades. Richards tells The Times of London that he finds Jagger unbearable. In news more sunny, Richards says he’s been drug free since he fell off a tree in Fiji in ’06. Life is due in bookstores on Oct. 26.

Paramount Pictures

Chris Pontius displays one of his talents in “Jackass 3D.” The film is a mix of stunts gone awry,

sketches, and sophomoric gross-outs.

3-D bathroom humor, oh boy

'JACKASS 3D' from D1 things to do to each other and themselves pretty quickly, and out of things that look cool in 3-D pretty much after the opening credits. But they’re still here, suffering for their art. Now it’s our turn. A mix of stunts gone awry, sketches, and sophomoric gross-outs, Jackass 3D can be as simple and stupid as having a dog bite Johnny Knoxville on the rump or having a Lamborghini pull a willing subject’s tooth. And it can be as elaborate as Bee Hive Tether Ball — scantily clad grown men swatting a hive around a tether ball pole, collecting stings as they do. The funniest line from the TV show and all three movies is never “Hi, I’m Johnny Knoxville and this is Electric Avenue” (a stun-gun obstacle course). It’s the opening disclaimer — that these stunts are “performed by professionals.” That’s what makes them funny. They’re not professional anything. The sketches are what work best in this film. A staged dwarf brawl surprises unsuspecting bar patrons with a Little People love triangle, then a fight, dwarf cops coming in to break it up, dwarf paramedics arriving to haul out the injured. Knoxville dons convincing old-age makeup to do assorted “bad grandpa” gags with his scooter, his sexual tastes, and his bowel movements. But those Jackasses from Jackass aren’t getting better, they’re getting older. Their teeth have all been fixed. Their growing paunches just mean more territory to cover with tattoos. A lot of what was cute when they were comic losers willing to try anything for a laugh a decade ago can seem a little desperate now. The peals of laughter by the motley crew of Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera & Co. can feel

Jackass 3D i1/2 (out of four stars) Directed by Jeff Tremaine. With Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera. Distributed by Paramount Pictures. Running time: 1 hour, 34 mins. Parent’s guide: R (male nudity, extremely crude and dangerous stunts, profanity) Playing at: area theaters

forced, like the sidekicks on a radio “Morning Zoo,” cackling at the boss’ limp jokes. It’s faintly amusing to see Knoxville trampled underfoot when he roller skates in a buffalo herd, though the sight gag isn’t quite as funny as the Roger Miller tune that accompanies it. And this fixation on feces isn’t juvenile. It’s infantile,

puerile and gag-inducing. Cast members and a cameraman lose their lunch in this one, not exactly comic pay dirt. At least with every expected pratfall, somebody in that large ensemble — from the blimp-size Preston Lacy to the Wee Man — has the presence of mind to ask, “What did you think would happen?”

Happy Birthday This year, you make a big difference wherever you go. Stay focused on the creative process. Through your ingenuity is where success lies. Drop the word “no” from your vocabulary, and open up to the possibilities. Brainstorming sessions, more often than not, are beneficial. Let your imagination go and seek answers. Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ Take some time to kick back and enjoy your friends. Whether going from party to party or socializing with a certain friend, you have a good time. A partner could be a little “dark” or moody. Only this person can change his or her mood. Don’t try to force him or her to be happy. Tonight: Where the action is. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ You fall into the position of responsibility, whether you like it or not. Get together with friends or loved ones, though a responsibility drops on you in some fashion. The plus about being so responsible is that you can maintain more control. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. You might want to think about planning a trip or getting together with family and friends at a distance. You hear a loved one or child loud and clear. Tonight: Opt for something different. Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ Relate to each person independently. Try an exercise:

Let go of past images of others when relating to them. Suddenly, you see a key friend in a different light. A family member reveals important information. Be direct and caring. Tonight: Focus on a loved one. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ Others can be challenging in that they present so many options. You could feel down and a little dejected. Understanding will evolve if you relax. At the same time, get to the bottom of a key issue reflected in your decisions. You could be surprised by everything that comes out. Tonight: Just be your gregarious self. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Mellow out. Put your feet up and relax. You could be surprised by a financial opportunity and insight. Discover what is going on behind the scenes. You might want to start a new project. Consider the costs first. Tonight: Go for relaxed. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ You cannot suppress your innate playfulness. Understand what is going on with you and a key relationship. Express your feelings without fear. Tonight: Be yourself. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Understanding will evolve if you relax and just hang in there. You might be overly concerned about a personal matter. Relax and express your views. Another person will understand. Tonight: The action is at your pad. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★★ You don’t want to stir the pot. Consider the fact that

you might be slightly overreactive. Could that be possible? Have a discussion while enjoying a meal with a friend. Go to the movies or see an art show. Tonight: Where conversations happen. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Think twice if someone makes you an offer that seems too good to be true. It probably is. Though you can be quite insightful, you could slip up on this occasion. Don’t allow another person to pressure you. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ You could be taken aback by an older relative who relentlessly keeps on your case. Know that this person wants your feedback. Be willing to minimize the pressure and just handle this matter. Others do make a difference in your plans. Tonight: Go with a unique suggestion. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ A partner shares information that you really need to work through. Don’t take this person’s feelings on or take his or her comments personally. Take the high road and detach from your immediate reaction. Tonight: Add more intimacy to a relationship. Born on this date Actress Angela Lansbury, writer Oscar Wilde, actress Suzanne Somers

Where’s “Cathy”?

Cathy Guisewite, the creator of “Cathy,” has discontinued her comic strip.

Losing sleep over baby’s wails The Piranha Club

Edge City

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I have a 16-month-old daughter who rarely sleeps through the night. I have discovered that neither my husband nor I have the stomach for “cry-it-out” methods. Usually leads to all three of us crying it out. Other than teething and the occasional cold/cough, there is nothing physically wrong with her. And during the day she is the happiest, most engaging thing ever. Am I dooming her for a life of failure if I continue to comfort her, or are the “experts” right that I must “sleep train” her now before she becomes a serial killer? — Sleepless Dear Sleepless: Your tone suggests you think the cry-it-out proponents are fascists who would suck the joy out of your child just to serve their thesis on sleep. If I’ve got that wrong,

please do say so. I can validate the idea that if you are all happy with the situation, parents and child, then it’s OK to treat experts (and/or “experts”) with some skepticism. But I can also say that at some point, be it over sleep or candy or sleeping over at her friend’s house while the friend’s parents are away, you’re going to need the backbone to say “no” and mean it, no matter how hard your child cries. I hope you and your husband can be honest with yourselves if you are in fact so tear-averse that you’re headed toward obeying your kid. Dear Carolyn: I actually don’t hate the “cry-it-out” folks at all, and kind of wish I was one of them. I’m just not. At least at night. We’re not averse to saying no, even when it results in a roll-onthe-floor tantrum. To me there’s a difference between hearing her cry for the forbid-

den cookie and hearing her wail all by herself at night. I think my angst over the “experts” comes from every book having that propaganda angle that their way is the only way. I don’t know what I’m looking for, really. I’m exhausted and just wondering if we’re on a path to years of sleepless nights or if she’ll just figure it out eventually. — Sleepless again Dear Sleepless: That’s such a common feeling — when the advice doesn’t seem right but acting on instinct isn’t working, either. Next step: Ask your pediatrician about alternative schools of thought on sleep training. If you’ve tried and your doc hasn’t been helpful, then hit the Web. Look for a program that dovetails with what you’re already doing or seeing, but tweaks it for the better — and run it by your doc, just in case.

Opposites Collide Winging ways are about all that high-flying Game 1 starters share.

The waiting is over as Phils and Giants open a long-awaited series. By Matt Gelb

Maybe the answer has something to do with airplanes. For all their obvious differences, Roy Halladay and Tim Lincecum share top billing for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series because they are arguably the two best pitchers in the NL, if not all of baseball. At 6-foot-6, with a delivery straight out of a coaching manual, Halladay is the prototype major-league pitcher. He is making his second career postseason start after throwing a no-hitter last week in his first. See PITCHERS on E4

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

This hype machine has had plenty of time to percolate. The Phillies have spent five days awaiting their next game. The Giants wrapped things up a day later. That set two teams and the baseball world on a collision course for Saturday at 7:57 p.m., when Roy Halladay — opposed by Tim Lincecum — will throw the first pitch of the National League Championship Series at Citizens Bank Park. “It beats the heck out of fishing,” Halladay said. “I can tell you that.” It sure does. Yes, you know the story by now: Lincecum has won the last two National League Cy Young Awards. Halladay See PHILLIES on E6

Control and ‘The Freak’

The different paths to success of the aces in Saturday night’s pitching matchup.

Halladay: Compact and precise

Range of release points

Roy Halladay’s pinpoint control starts with a compact, repeatable throwing motion that produces a remarkably consistent release point. That makes the task of hitting Halladay even tougher, as batters can’t rely on different arm positions for clues as to which pitch is on the way. Halladay lives on throwing the low strike. In his playoff no-hitter against the Reds, Halladay threw only one pitch above the strike zone all game.

Lincecum: Torque and stealth

Range of release points during

Tim Lincecum, “the Freak,” is at least a half-foot shorter and 60 pounds lighter than his Phillies counterpart, but he uses tremendous torque in his windup to deliver pitches in the low- to mid-90s. His twisting motion allows him to better hide the ball before it is delivered, making his fastball seem even faster. In contrast to Halladay, Lincecum thrives on fastballs up in the strike zone.

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Where’s the Sports Calendar?

A weekly examination of college football

The schedule grid for local pro teams and expanded sports television listings are on the Inquirer Express page on the back of this section.

Half and half, and the cream is rising 1. It’s getting late pretty early

straight week, when it takes on Illinois. Coming off emotional wins over Wisconsin and Michigan and with road games ahead at Northwestern and Iowa, the Spartans could easily lose focus. That’s why coach Mark Dantonio probably has made them watch repeated showings of the Fighting Illini’s systematic demolition of Penn State all week. “After two big wins, with some fruits of our labor with the rankings and those types of things, it’s about what are we going to do next,” he said.

The halfway point of the 2010 season has been reached for many teams, so what have we learned? We know that Texas (ranked No. 5 in the preseason), Virginia Tech (10), and Miami (13) were vastly overrated. We learned that South Carolina, Michigan State, and Stanford (all unranked) are Top 10 Topics pretty good. We didn’t By Joe Juliano know Michigan’s Denard Robinson could be such an electric presence, nor that it could be so tough finding replacements for Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy. As for the locals, Temple is right about where we expected, at 4-2. Penn State, even at No. 19, was considered a bit over ranked in the preseason, although 3-3 and a dismal loss to Illinois are quite a shock.

8. Those other Spartans

2. Are you ready?

As much as we hate to see the BCS standings return Sunday night for their 13th season, we have to admit it helps to put the rankings of a few elite teams in perspective. The theory is that Boise State, not Ohio State or Oregon, will be at the top of the list, and the strength-of-schedule computer ratings should be quite revealing. But all that stuff won’t be released until 8:15 opposite the NLCS, Sunday Night Football, and even Extreme Makeover. Yo, ESPN … think we can do this a little bit earlier?

3. A winner in town

It wasn’t that long ago when Steve Spurrier, now 65, reigned as one of college football’s best coaches, with six SEC titles and one national championship in his 12 seasons at Florida. So people started wondering if the magic had left him through some ordinary seasons at South Carolina. That wonder ceased last weekend after the Gamecocks (4-1) upset No. 1 Alabama, making them contenders for the SEC championship. Spurrier’s big challenge this week is to have his team focus on dangerous Kentucky (3-3). “We haven’t won enough to be considered anything yet,” he said.

CHARLIE RIEDEL / Associated Press

MARK CORNELISON / Lexington Herald-Leader

Taylor Martinez of Nebraska set a

Auburn QB Cam Newton will face fellow Heisman candidate Ryan Mallet of Arkansas in Auburn on Saturday.

5. A matter of 6-foot-6 styles

Heyward liked being under the radar at No. 2 in the polls behind Alabama. But with the Crimson Tide going down last week, the Buckeyes (6-0) hold the top spot heading into raucous Camp Randall Stadium and a meeting with 18th-ranked Wisconsin (5-1). “We know we’re going to have the bull’s-eye on our back even more,” Heyward said, “but I don’t think anyone’s complaining about it. We know we have great responsibility.” According to the Associated Press, this is the 94th time the Buckeyes have held the No. 1 ranking, third to Oklahoma (97) and Notre Dame (95).

school record last week with 241 rushing yards against Kansas State.

Auburn’s Cam Newton is a master of improvisation who can hurt an opponent with his arms or his feet. Arkansas’ Ryan Mallet is a pocket passer who can squeeze a ball through the tiniest of openings. The two Heisman candidates meet in Auburn, Ala., with the 12th-ranked Razorbacks (4-1) needing a win to stay alive in the SEC West race. With Mallet, they have the nation’s No. 2 passer in average yards (349.6). But Newton leads the SEC in rushing and is ranked second in NCAA pass efficiency for the No. 7 Tigers (6-0). “He plays on their offense, I play on my offense,” Mallet said. “It’s not me vs. him.”

6. Taking it on the road Ohio State defensive end Cameron

7. Loving the mitten

It’s the classic trap game Saturday for No. 13 Michigan State, playing in its home state for the seventh

9. Ragone’s time

It’s been quite a career at Notre Dame for tight end Mike Ragone, a Cherry Hill native and Camden Catholic graduate. He sat out his sophomore year to rehab a torn ACL in his knee. He was arrested in May on a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana. He missed time in the preseason with a heat-related illness. Now, after the season-ending leg injury to Kyle Rudolph, Ragone may start, and will see plenty of playing time, when the Fighting Irish (3-3) take on Western Michigan (2-3). “He’s a guy that’s just a battler,” tight ends coach Mike Denbrock told the South Bend Tribune.

10. The old man

4. Long distance man

No one is moving up the list of favorites for the Heisman Trophy faster than Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez. A redshirt freshman, Martinez set a school record last week with 241 rushing yards against Kansas State to move up to fourth in the nation in that department. He averages 10.8 yards per carry (tops in NCAA FBS), and the average on his 12 touchdown runs is a remarkable 34.9 yards. Texas coach Mack Brown, who compares Martinez with former Longhorns great Vince Young, must devise a way to stop Martinez on Saturday at Lincoln.

If there’s any team deserving of one of those “We’re Going to Disney World” commercials, it’s got to be San Jose State. When they meet The Real No. 3 Boise State Top 10 (5-0), the Spartans (1-5) will be playing 1. Oregon their fifth ranked 2. Ohio State opponent this 3. Boise State season. They’ve 4. TCU already lost to 5. Nebraska Alabama (No. 1 6. Alabama when they played 7. Oklahoma them), Wisconsin 8. Auburn (11), Utah (13), and 9. Arkansas Nevada (21) by a 10. LSU combined score of 156-33. San Jose State is last in the country in scoring (10.3 points per game), 116th in total offense, and 110th in total defense. The good news? The Spartans’ last six opponents after this week have a combined 15-18 mark.

GERALD HERBERT / Associated Press

Twenty-seven-year-old Brandon Weeden, QB for Oklahoma State, is fourth in the

nation in passing yards (322 per game). He tried a career in pro baseball.

It has taken a while for Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden, who at 27 is a year older than Kevin Kolb, to get to this point: fourth in the nation in passing yards (322 per game) and 18 touchdown passes. He was drafted in the second round by the New York Yankees in 2002 as a pitcher and was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. After playing four games in his first two seasons at OSU, he has blossomed in 2010 and will try to lead the 20th-ranked Cowboys (5-0) to their first win over Texas Tech (3-2) in seven tries as Big 12 members.

Saturday at noon, Franklin Field. ¢ TV/Radio: TCN; WNTP-AM (990). ¢ Records: Columbia 3-1, 1-0 Ivy League; Penn 3-1, 1-0. ¢ Coaches: Columbia, Norris Wilson (fifth season, 15-29); Penn, Al Bagnoli (19th season, 125-57). ¢ Series: Penn has a 67-21-1 record against Columbia. ¢ Columbia outlook: The Lions’ three-game winning streak is the program’s longest in 13 years. Columbia is leading the Ivy league with 29.2 points per game, and is picking up 205 yards a game on the ground. The Lions rely on quarterback Sean Brackett to make things happen. He has completed 57 of 80 passes for 779 yards and 10 touchdowns, while throwing only one interception. He also has rushed for 68.2 yards a game to lead the team. All of the Lions’ outings this fall were at home, where they lost to Fordham in their season opener, and have defeated Towson, Princeton, and Lafayette.

the programs at Fordham and Richmond before taking over at Bowling Green. ¢ Temple outlook: The Owls went down at Northern Illinois last week, 31-17, in an outing that left Golden looking to make changes. The coach is hoping to have the services of running back Bernard Pierce again, who sat out Temple’s 42-35 victory over Army on Oct. 2 due to an ankle injury, and played only briefly against Northern Illinois last week. In his absence, however, the running game has not been the Owls’ problem as 5-foot-5 speedster Matt Brown has excelled. But Temple needs all of its weapons if the Owls are to capture the MAC title as was predicted. Right now, Temple cannot sleep on any opponent. It’s homecoming for the Owls, their alumni, and fans. … Fans who have tickets to the Phillies or Flyers games on Saturday will be admitted to the Temple football game for $10. — Kevin Tatum

¢ Penn outlook: Aside from a forfeit win that went to Columbia in 1997, the Quakers haven’t fallen to the Lions since Al Bagnoli: Penn 1996. Last year, coach will use Penn won, three QBs. 27-13, in New York. Bagnoli continues to juggle quarterbacks, with Billy Ragone, Ryan Becker and Keiffer Garton all expected to see action. Last week, in a 31-10 win at Bucknell, Becker earned Ivy League rookie of the week honors by going 14 of 22 passing for 194 yards and a touchdown. Bagnoli is now the school’s all-time winningest football coach. The Quakers enter the game ranked 25th in the Football Championship Subdivision. — Kevin Tatum

Villanova at Maine Saturday at noon, Morse Field at Alfond Stadium, Orono, Maine. ¢ TV/Radio: CSN; ESPN-AM (950). ¢ Records: Villanova, 3-2, 1-1 Colonial Athletic Association; Maine, 2-4, 1-2 CAA. ¢ Coaches: Villanova, Andy Talley (26th season, 182-104-1); Maine, Jack Cosgrove (18th season, 95-105). ¢ Series: Villanova trails Maine, 7-6, in the series but won the teams’ last meeting in 2007.

¢ Villanova outlook: The Wildcats dropped from the top spot to No. 6 in the rankings after their 31-24 loss to then-No. 7 William and Mary two weeks ago. Wide receiver Matt Szczur, the reigning CAA player of the year, missed the game because of a sprained ankle suffered on Sept. 25. He is expected to play Saturday. I Quarterback Chris Whitney carried the ball 12 times against William and Mary for 37 yards for two short

touchdowns and was 20 of 35 in the air for 235 yards. Junior wide receiver Norman White made seven catches for a career-high 110 yards. ¢ Maine outlook: Maine gets to face its fourth consecutive top-15 opponent. And for the second straight year, the Black Bears will play the defending national champion on homecoming. (Last year it was Richmond.) Maine beat No. 14 New Hampshire two weeks ago in overtime. Its only other

win came Sept. 11 at Monmouth. Maine is coming off a 26-7 loss to No. 2 Delaware last week. Maine was led by linebacker Donte Dennis, who had a game-high 17 tackles and has 51 for the season. Fullback Jared Turcotte had 55 rushing yards last week, giving him 416 for the season and a career total of 1,041. Turcotte ranks 44th in the nation averaging 83.2 yards per game. — Patrick Rubenstein

Game of the Week Ohio State (6-0) at Wisconsin (5-1), 7 p.m., ESPN: The Buckeyes play their first game as the No. 1 team in the land, but the Badgers would like to make sure it’s their last at the top. Wisconsin wants to control the ball behind the running of John Clay and James White, who have combined for 1,177 yards and just one fumble. Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor can take one giant step toward the Heisman Trophy if he can move the ball on the Badgers and take the crazed crowd out of the game.

Pick Six Illinois (3-2) at Michigan State (6-0), noon, Big Ten Network: This is the kind of game that may not be suitable for a coach who isn’t yet a month removed from a heart attack but the Spartans’ Mark Dantonio will try to stay calm. Arkansas (4-1) at Auburn (6-0), 3:30 p.m., CBS3: Talk about the Wild West, the SEC West has teams ranked seventh, eighth, ninth, and 12th in the top 25. Nos. 7 and 12 match up here. Texas (3-2) at Nebraska (5-0), 3:30 p.m., 6ABC: The Cornhuskers’ program insists it has forgotten all about the extra second added in the 2009 Big Twelve title game that turned a win into a loss to Texas. But their fans haven’t. South Carolina (4-1) at Kentucky (3-3), 6 p.m., ESPN2: That grin/smirk has returned to the face of South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, and it’ll probably stay there with the Wildcats likely missing top rusher Derrick Locke. Arizona (4-1) at Washington State (1-5), 7:30 p.m., Versus: After being shocked at home by Oregon State, the 17thranked Wildcats need to bounce back against a team that hung with Oregon for a while. Nevada (6-0) at Hawaii (4-2), 11:30, no TV: If you love offense, you may want to stay up late and punch up this game on ESPN3.com to watch two of the most prolific attacks in the country. — Joe Juliano

Cincinnati turns back Louisville ASSOCIATED PRESS

Zach Collaros threw a career-high five touchdown passes — three to Armon Binns — and Cincinnati beat host Louisville, 35-27, in its Big East opener Friday night. Binns’ 62-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter decided a game of try-to-top-this plays. He also scored on catches of 47 and 10 yards in the best game of his career. Collaros was 18 of 28 for 275 yards with a pair of interceptions. Bilal Powell ran for a career-high 209 yards and two touchdowns, keeping Louisville (3-3) in the game. Out of time-outs, Louisville went for it on fourth and goal from the 12 with 4:20 left. Adam Froman’s pass was broken up by Camerron Cheatham and the Bearcats (3-3) ran out the clock.

feeling this could be a special year for Army, but the Black Knights’ game against Rutgers on Saturday at New Meadowlands Stadium could go a long way in saying just how special. The Scarlet Knights (3-2) have had their way with Army (4-2) recently, winning the last six meetings by a 185-55. This year, the Black Knights and their triple-option offense have scored 30-plus points four times, including the last three games. After winning its first two games, Rutgers stumbled at home against an undermanned North Carolina and then disappointed against Tulane, a team Army beat, 41-23, last weekend.

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Aside from other obvious clues, one sign that Kevin Kolb will start at quarterback on Sunday is that he told a reporter Thursday he was flying his parents, Roy and Lanell, from Texas for the Eagles’ home game against the Atlanta Falcons. A few weeks earlier, Kolb grounded his parents’ flight to Philadelphia for the Washington game because, as he so aptly put it, “I’d been benched.” But with Michael Vick’s ribs still not 100 percent, the Kolbs will witness their son’s first start at Lincoln Financial Field since he was knocked out of the opener, Eagles coach Andy Reid confirmed Friday. Since Vick damaged his rib cartilage in the first half of the Redskins game, Kolb has been sharp, nearly rallying the Eagles past Washington and a week later guiding them over the 49ers in his first start since his benching. The Eagles, of course, are hoping to avoid a third straight home game in which their starting quarterback has been injured. Not coincidentally, they lost those first two games. If Kolb were to get hurt again, there is some question as to who would replace him — Vick or rookie Mike Kafka. Vick, who practiced Friday for the first time since his injury, could dress, Reid said. The coach did not indicate whether Vick would be Kolb’s backup and therefore be allowed to enter the game at will or if he would be the emergency third quarterback. “I would like to be involved,” Vick said. “But whatever my role is, whatever we can do, that’s what we’ll do and just try to make sure we do it right.” Vick said that he still felt discomfort in both his shoulders. He took a handful of snaps with the scout team, threw some, and was able to

Reid left open the possibility that Vick could be used as a change-of-pace quarterback to Kolb as he was in the opener. But he couldn’t be the third quarterback if that were the case, and it would be a highly unlikely move to expose Vick to further injury. And Kolb has fared better without the “MV” package that appeared to disrupt his rhythm in the first game. It’s also allowed him more repetitions during the last two weeks of preparation. “Maybe it’s an [extra] handful of plays,” Kolb said. “You just get to see one more different look at that particular play … and that’s just a little more prepared you are.” In the first half of the Green Bay game, Kolb took 19 snaps to Vick’s four. He completed 5 of 10 passes for

Special teams not so special ASSOCIATED PRESS

The “special” in special teams across the NFL this season just hasn’t been there. Through Week 5, seven players have combined for nine kickoff returns for touchdowns, putting the league on pace for 30. That would eclipse the record of 25 set in 2007. There’s been at least one kick return for a touchdown each week, the most to begin a season since the merger in 1970. So far, the Chargers have outdone everybody: They allowed the Mariners’ Leon Washington to return kickoffs 101 and 99 yards for touchdowns in the second half of a 27-20 loss Sept. 26.

Texas’ Molina roots for Giants

Commentary By Phil Sheridan

A study in opposites, but outcomes same for Doc, Freak

PITCHERS from E1 At 5-11, the skinny Lincecum throws the ball as if he’s falling off his skateboard, his shaggy hair flying up around his face. He is making his second career postseason start after throwing a twohitter last week in his first. They couldn’t look or pitch or, frankly, be more different. Halladay is more likely to have some self-help books-ontape in his car than the wacky tabacky Lincecum was cited for last year. Halladay’s nickname, “Doc,” suggests the cool, clinical professional who inspires confidence. Lincecum’s, “The Freak,” is self-explanatory. “It’s a great part about this game,” Halladay said. “You don’t have to be 6-9 and 280 to be a defensive lineman. You can take all different shapes and sizes and do the job.” So the question is what common thread runs through these two very different pitching aces? And the answer may have to do with airplanes — or at least fathers who understand aerodynamics. Halladay’s father, Roy Jr., is a commercial pilot. When the family moved to the Denver suburb of Arvada, he built a pitcher’s mound in the basement for his only son to practice on. Roy III was taken to

Game 1 showdown. Both have dominated in the major leagues. One of them, however, got desperately lost along the way and needed help to find himself. Ironically, it wasn’t the kid with the X Games demeanor and crazy windup. It was Halladay. Before he became Doc, he had to spend some time with the doctor. “When I met him, he was innocent, naive, about the mental part of the game,” Harvey Dorfman said by phone the other day. “Now he gets it. He applies it. He integrates information into behavior. It’s not like in school, where you get high grades for what you know. In baseball, you get The book, “The Mental ABC’s of Pitching”, helped Halladay. high grades for what you do.” Dorfman isn’t actually a see elite pitching coaches as doctor.

upon. “Roy exudes what Harvey teaches. He has taken it to the highest level.” “To have him on speed-dial is a pretty good thing,” Brad Lidge said of Dorfman. “I’m sure a lot of guys do.” When Halladay was 23 and pitching for the Blue Jays, he simply lost his way. The team sent him to the low minors coming out of 2001 spring training. He worked there with pitching coach Mel Queen, who rebuilt Halladay’s physical approach from the ground up. While Queen took care of his mechanics, it was Dorfman’s book The Mental ABC’s of Pitching that changed Halladay’s mental approach. His wife came upon the book in a store and handed it over. Within a year, Halladay met the author in Toronto. “He’s a remarkable guy,” Dorfman said. “What pleases any teacher best is to have good students.” Halladay may be the best of all. Dorfman famously worked with Greg Maddux, who had a Hall of Fame career without the greatest raw material in the world. “Roy pitches above the neck like Maddux,” Dorfman said. “You take tools like that, and then you have the ability to use them so well. It isn’t a

question of being perfect. It’s a question of knowing your imperfections and correcting them.” Halladay still regularly consults The Mental ABC’s of Pitching, a book “that has been passed around our clubhouse to every pitcher,” according to Lidge. “The biggest thing is, it just makes each pitch more robotic. You’re taking out so many things in the game that you can’t control and you’re just focused on your execution.” And Halladay still regularly consults Dorfman. “We talked prior to his last start,” Dorfman said. “I recognized that he wasn’t approaching things in the ideal way. He just didn’t look right to me and to himself, more importantly. That’s what is so wonderful about him.” After a few less-than-Doclike late-season outings, Halladay was regrouping and refocusing for the postseason debut he’d waited for so long. “So many guys talk about getting there and wait a long time to get there and then, when they do, they soil themselves,” Dorfman said. Halladay threw a no-hitter. “Impeccable,” Dorfman said. “I sent him an e-mail with one word in it: ‘Masterful.’ ”

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Players have their say on eve of LCS By Mike Jensen

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

In a parking lot out past right field at Citizens Bank Park, a tent set up for postgame revelry was converted into a news-conference room, with tables for all the Phillies, name plates in front. Before Friday afternoon’s workout, each player showed up, available for 45 minutes’ worth of questions. When the Phillies were done, the San Francisco Giants took over for their 45 minutes. If you timed it right, you could walk around the tent for the hour and a half and hear nothing but Tim Lincecum vs. Roy Halladay questions and answers. Shane Victorino answered his share, but with a Victorino spin. “Why show up?” Victorino said, down at the far end of the tent. “The way you guys keep talking — what about the hitters?” Victorino understood the story line for Saturday night’s Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. “Those two guys are probably the best two pitchers in the National League, if not in baseball,” Victorino said. “But let’s not forget about what it’s all about. It’s about scoring runs. You can’t defeat yourself. If I go to the plate thinking Lincecum is the best thing ever, I’ve already defeated myself. I know he’s good. But I’ve got to get hits.” There were, in fact, several other story lines. Camera crews immediately engulfed Pat Burrell when the Giants’ media session began. The “Prodigal Son Returns” angle is a big one, especially when Burrell’s career looked over after his failed stint as a designated hitter with the Tampa Bay Rays. Burrell joked about how friends called him after he

Shane Victorino talks with Roy Halladay. Speaking with reporters about Game 1’s hurlers, Victorino said: “What about the hitters?” was cut by the Rays saying they knew he wasn’t the type to be a designated hitter. “Where were they when I was taking my physical?” Burrell said. Burrell said he had tried everything to adjust to being a DH, hitting between at-bats, not hitting, even standing in the clubhouse watching the game, acting like he was in the field, getting in his outfield stance. Burrell made a face like he knew how goofy

that must have looked. The resurrected Giants leftfielder said he’s always appreciated the fan reactions he’s gotten coming back to Philadelphia, but doesn’t know what to expect Saturday night. He brought up how the Phillies faithful serenaded Evan Longoria during the ’08 Series. “That’s something no player forgets,” Burrell said of how all of Citizens Bank Park chanted, “Eva!” at Longoria,

Phillies Notes

Kendrick added; Dobbs off By Matt Gelb

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

When Kyle Kendrick was left off the roster for the National League division series, he said he didn’t view it as a personal slight. The Phillies told him this happens; normally teams don’t carry their fifth starter in a five-game series. As examples they cited Jason Marquis and Barry Zito, both big-name starters, being left off postseason rosters in recent years. That didn’t make things any easier. “I understand,” Kendrick said. “It’s frustrating. You’re there the whole year and you work so hard to get to the spot and you can’t help your team out. That’s the hardest thing about it. It’s nothing personal.” Kendrick will have his shot in the National League Championship Series against San Francisco. He was officially added to the roster Friday. He will replace Greg Dobbs, who was on the first-round roster but did not see game action. That means rookie outfielder Domonic Brown remains on the team. “This whole ride this year has been unbelievable,” Brown said. The decision was manager Charlie Manuel’s, according to general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. “We just felt like we’d be a better club with Brown,” Amaro said. “It wasn’t an easy decision. Both of them bring something to the table. But only 25 guys can be on the roster.” The Phillies had to make that decision because they went with only 10 pitchers in the best-of-five division series. In a longer, seven-game series, they did not want to take that risk, so an 11th pitcher (Kendrick) was added. Removing Dobbs from the roster means he probably has played his last game as a Phillie. The 32-year-old utility man is eligible for arbitration this off-season and almost certainly will not be offered a

contract by the Phillies. He thrived as the team’s top pinch-hitter in the championship season of 2008 but struggled in the same role over the last two seasons. Brown, the majors’ top prospect as rated by Baseball America in its midseason report, appeared once in the division series. He reached base on a fielder’s choice and scored a run. Other than Wilson Valdez, the Phillies do not have a reserve third baseman. If Jimmy Rollins

were to be injured, Valdez would play short, leaving a void behind Placido Polanco. The Phillies aren’t worried about that. “I think they’ve gotten ample rest,” Amaro said. “One of the benefits of having some time off is these guys get some time. Jimmy is real close to getting to 100 percent. This gave him some time. Polanco had time to rest his elbow.” Brown’s baserunning apparently put him over the top. “As far as Dobbs and Brown’s hitting, I think that’s pretty much a wash,” Manuel said. “I think if we get Domonic, he can be a base runner. You put him in the game, outfield, and he can go play.”

Moyer healthy While the Phillies have been winning, 47-year-old lefthander Jamie Moyer has been biding his time. He threw 70 pitches in a recent bullpen session and said he has recovered from the two elbow injuries he suffered in July. “I’m ready to pitch,” Moyer said. “I’m healthy.” Moyer knows it’s not happening, though. He has talked to the club and knows he isn’t in their plans. Earlier talk about his going to the Instructional League passed by because he wasn’t ready to pitch then, he said, and now it’s too late for that. Moyer will be a free agent at the end of the season and likely will have to accept a minor-league deal somewhere.

Extra bases Both teams held media days before working out at Citizens Bank Park on Friday. … Former Phillies outfielder Garry Maddox will throw out the ceremonial first pitch Saturday night.

exploiting his name’s resemblance to the Desperate Housewives star. The homecoming isn’t first on his mind, Burrell said. “This is down to it,” he said. “This is business.” A couple of tables away from Victorino, Brad Lidge had talked about one relaxation technique, his fantasy football team in a league for Phillies players. “Right now, I’m in first place, proud to say,” Lidge

said. “We play doubleheaders every week. I’m 7-3 right now. There are some other teams that are 7-3. I had the first pick this year in the draft, so that’s sort of an advantage. Guys are pretty fired up.” His first pick was Chris Johnson from Tennessee. “I like my team. Favre is my backup quarterback, so I’m kind of waiting it out. I think he’s going to end up having a real strong year.” Worst team?

“No doubt, Kyle Kendrick,” Lidge deadpanned. “Awful draft, awful management. But we love the guy, so we’re hoping for the best. He’s 1-9, by the way.” That is all taking a backseat right now, obviously, Lidge hastened to point out, but the closer added: “One thing in baseball is, you’re so focused when you’re playing the game. It’s nice when you’re not playing to not be thinking about it. I think you can definitely think about it too much. So it’s good to have things that take your mind off it.” Asked to take a swing at the old question, “Who owns the city, Eagles or Phillies?” Jimmy Rollins obliged. “If you have a good game, it’s an Eagles-Phillies town — it might be split right down the middle,” Rollins said. He knows the Eagles’ fan base is rabid and loyal, but noted the “100-something” Phillies sellouts in a row. He was told it was up to 133. “Wow,” Rollins said with that knowing smile he flashes. “Things may be changing. I don’t know.” There was no real craziness, mostly serious questions before a crucial game featuring the dream pitching matchup. “I’ve answered that question three times,” Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff, in his first postseason after 11 bigleague seasons, said in response to a Halladay/ Lincecum question. “But I’ll answer it a fourth time.” He answered in great detail, realizing the territory the questions came with. “We’ve worked our entire lives to play right now,” Giants closer Brian Wilson said at the other end of the tent.

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Giants’ Huff is savoring postseason By Ray Parrillo

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

There were times when Aubrey Huff thought he might never be released from baseball’s version of highways to hell. Plenty of times. His first five full seasons in the majors were with losing Tampa Bay Devil Rays clubs. Tampa eventually became good — very good — but by then, Huff was gone and the Devil Rays had become just the Rays. After that, Huff was in Houston for a half-season, where he caught a whiff of the playoffs before the Astros were edged out in the National League Central Division. Then, it was on to Baltimore for almost two more years of misery. He escaped Baltimore to Detroit where he was again on the doorstep to the postseason — but the Tigers lost a one-game playoff to the Twins in the AL Central. Last winter, it occurred to Huff that he probably couldn’t take much more of last-place finishes and nearmisses. Besides, he was without a team until the Giants, turned down in their attempt to sign Adam LaRoche, offered him a job. “Yeah, there’s been points the last few years,” the Giants leader in home runs (26) and RBIs (86) said Friday when asked if he seriously thought of retiring. “You know, you get traded away from Tampa and all of a sudden, they’re good. Then I’m in Baltimore and we’re in last place getting killed, and you wonder how much you can take. It was a tough road, but all the pa-

Giants slugger Aubrey Huff played on losers in Tampa and Baltimore, and had playoff near-misses with Houston and Detroit. tience and wear and tear has paid off, so far.” When the Giants take on the Phillies in Saturday’s opener of the National League Championship Series, few players in the series, if any, will appreciate the opportunity to get to the World Series more than the 33-year-old Huff. Before the Giants won the West Division, Huff had played in 1,479 games before

making the playoffs — third most among active players. When he’d finally made it, his key double helping the Giants nail down the division title with a win over San Diego on the final day of the regular season, Huff got a hug from teammate Buster Posey, the 23-year-old catcher and Rookie of the Year candidate. “Posey came over and gave me a hug, and I told him, ‘I

don’t even want to hear it. You get here in one year. This is my time,’ ” Huff said laughing. “But, yeah, you appreciate it more. If I had to go nine more years of losing, finishing dead last, just to get this chance again, I would do it in a heartbeat.” There’s little doubt Huff’s sense of humor helped him endure all the grim seasons. He even found levity in dis-

one double — so that should tell you something about him,” said Huff, who is 17-for-66 (.258) with 13 strikeouts and five RBIs against Halladay. “He’s not going to walk you, so you can’t go up there looking for a walk or you’re dead. Just take an easy swing at something and hope you hit a single. Does he makes mistakes? Yeah, he makes mistakes. I’ve seen it, but I’ve never gotten one. “The thing with him is there’s really no plan you can go up there with. You’ve got to go up there and see the ball and try to pick a pitch to go after. If you just go up there free swinging against him, you’re going to be dead. He’s a very difficult guy to go up against, but so is [Giants starter] Ti m m y [Lincecum]. They’ve got their hands full, as do we.” In Game 3 of the NLDS against Atlanta Sunday, Huff had a series-turning single, tying the game, 2-2, in the ninth inning. The Giants won, 3-2, to take a two-games-to-one series lead. The next night, the Giants advanced to the NLCS for the first time since 2002, another blow against the difficult times Huff has seen. “For me the best part has been the celebrations,” he said. “Just to get into the playoffs, that was an emotional deal. It was great. It was emotional. Tears. Nine years of getting killed. Then, when we won in Atlanta, that was more fun. And I can imagine there could be even more fun ahead.”

cussing the difficult task he and his teammates will face when they contend with Phillies ace Roy Halladay in Game 1. Huff has faced Halladay more than any of his teammates, who have been picking his brain on how to approach the righthander who is expected to win the Cy Young Award.

Giants Notebook

Lincecum’s mind is on hitters, not Halladay By Ray Parrillo

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Tim Lincecum said he won’t be concerned with the Phillies’ Roy Halladay when the Giants’ ace takes the mound Saturday for a celebrated matchup between the game’s top two righthanders in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series at Citizens Bank Park. The two-time Cy Young Award winner has bigger worries. “I get to face Halladay, what, once every nine atbats,” Lincecum said Friday. “It’s not so much him I’m worried about. Obviously, our hitters are. But I’m more worried about pitch execution to guys like [Ryan] Howard and [Chase] Utley. That’s more in the back of my mind.” RON CORTES / Staff Photographer

All eyes will be on Roy Halladay, the Phillies’ ace, whose last outing was a

no-hitter against the Reds in the opener of the National League division series.

Phils to the 2008 title. Burrell was picked up by the Giants earlier in the year.

The long wait is over as aces take the hill

PHILLIES from E1 will win it this season. Both made their postseason debuts last week. Halladay pitched the second no-hitter in postseason history. Lincecum two-hit the Braves and struck out 14. Both offenses struggled in the first round despite claiming series victories. As a team, each hit .212 in the division series. So this is destined to be one for the ages, right? “You can build up, talk about things as much as you want but you never know when those good ones are going to happen,” Halladay said. “That’s what makes this game fun. You can’t ever predict how things are going to work out.” And, as Charlie Manuel said, “you never know what’s going to happen in baseball.” “The hitters are capable of scoring runs on both teams. I mean, it’s not like these guys are just going to throw their gloves out there and the hit-

ters aren’t going to be up there trying to get to them.” Lincecum, seven years younger than Halladay, attempted to do his best to downplay the matchup. “I’ll only face him once every nine hitters,” Lincecum said of Halladay. But there are instances of these games, billed as a pitch-

ing duel like never before, living up to the expectations. Take, for example, Game 7 of the 1991 World Series. Minnesota’s Jack Morris started against Atlanta’s John Smoltz with everything on the line. Smoltz shut down the Twins for 71/3 innings. Morris pitched 10 scoreless innings.

Halladay was 14 years old and a baseball fan (of course). He watched. “I don’t know if I can remember one as good as that,” Halladay said. Morris, speaking Friday on a Major League Baseball-initiated conference call, thinks this one could be even better. “Quite honestly,” Morris said, “I’m going to say something real bold here: It would not shock me if [Halladay] joined the likes of Johnny Vander Meer and went back-toback in the postseason with nohitters. That’s the kind of stuff that he possesses. I know it’s a far-fetched idea, but every time he takes the mound, he has that ability.” Lincecum said he briefly watched parts of Halladay’s no-hitter in the San Francisco clubhouse before his start. Halladay said he went home and watched Lincecum baffle the Braves. “I think I watched it more as a baseball fan than a student at that point,” Halladay

said. Halladay made one start against the Giants in San Francisco this season and allowed five runs on 10 hits in seven innings. Two days later, Lincecum pitched brilliantly for 81/3 innings against the Phillies, striking out 11 and walking one. But that was May. This is October and there is no comparison to how each pitcher will react, how the hitters will see the ball — or maybe even how the swirling winds might affect a fly ball. There are endless expectations for this matchup, and finally, now, the pitchers will actually take the mound. “I’ve been surprised,” Halladay said, “how much I’ve actually enjoyed and looked forward to the challenge.” The rest of the baseball world is waiting to see, too.

Rowand returns

Aaron Rowand, gritty hero to Philadelphia fans after he smashed his face into the center-field fence while making a remarkable catch against the Mets in 2006, said leaving the Phillies was difficult. “It definitely broke my heart,” said Rowand, who signed a five-year, $60-million free-agent contract with the Giants after the 2007 season. Rowand’s catch came with two out and the bases loaded. He suffered a broken nose among multiple broken bones. He said he’ll never forget the ovation he got walking off the field. He batted only .230, with 11 homers and 34 RBI’s and his playing time diminished as the season went along.

No surprise for Bochy

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said he saw the makings of a strong Phillies team a few years back. “I’m not surprised to see what they’ve done the last few years,” he said. “I think everybody felt for you to get to where you want to go, this is the team you’d be playing.” Contact staff writer Ray Parrillo at 215-854-2743 or rparrillo@phillynews.com.

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Giants could pose huge problems Inside the Game

By Bob Brookover

The baseball has bounced the Phillies’ way for quite some time now. It started in late July when general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. was able to find a suitable trade partner in the Houston Astros and acquired Roy Oswalt, the trade deadline’s grand prize, for J.A. Happ and a couple of minorleague prospects. The Phillies’ good fortune continued in mid-August when second baseman Chase Utley and first baseman Ryan Howard returned from the disabled list in time for the stretch run as the Phillies pursued first-place Atlanta. About the same time, the Braves lost third baseman Chipper Jones for the season to a knee injury. In September, the surging Phillies were able to line up Cole Hamels, Roy Halladay, and Oswalt for a pivotal home series with Atlanta while the Braves were forced to counter with two rookies, including one making his major-league debut, and Tommy Hanson. In the Phillies’ division series with Cincinnati, the Reds — who were tied for first in

National League fielding percentage during the regular season — could not catch the baseball, resulting in six unearned runs. To the Phillies’ credit, they turned all of those fortunate events into another run that could result in a third straight World Series appearance. Since a 1-6 start to a road trip through Chicago and St. Louis immediately after the all-star break, the Phillies are 52-19, including a three-game playoff sweep of the Reds. Now all that stands between the Phillies and a third straight World Series appearance are the San Francisco Giants, but there is nothing fortunate about that development. If the Phillies’ run of good luck had continued, the Braves — and not the pitching-rich Giants — would be back in Philadelphia right now for the start of Saturday night’s National League Championship Series at Citizens Bank Park. Thanks to several errors made by the Braves’ Brooks Conrad that helped the Giants win their NLDS series against Atlanta, Bobby Cox’s managerial career ended and San Francisco made it to the NLCS for the first time since 2002 — when it reached its last World Series. In short, the Giants are the team the Phillies least wanted to see in their pursuit of a second World Series title in three

The Phillies had some sort of success against all of the above Los Angeles pitchers before they saw them with a berth in the World Series on the line. That’s not the case with Lincecum and Sanchez. “They definitely have a very good starting staff as well as their bullpen,” second baseman Chase Utley said before the team’s workout Friday. “But like I’ve said before, at this point in the postseason, you’re going to run into good pitching. That’s why these teams are here, so it’s going to be exciting and it’s going to be fun.” Fun is not usually a word used by hitters facing Lincecum. In the last three seasons, Lincecum is 2-1 with a 1.45 ERA in five starts against the Phillies and has struck out 43 batters in 371/3 innings. Sanchez is 3-1 with a 1.82 ERA in four starts against the Phils covering the last two seasons. Asked what makes Sanchez so tough, Utley refused to RON CORTES / Staff Photographer even think about Game 2.

Hiroki Kuroda, a veteran righthander from Japan, is 2-0 with a 0.68 ERA in four career regular-season starts against the Phillies, but 1-1 with a 9.82 ERA in two postseason starts. The Phillies have to hope they can duplicate that trend against the Giants. Otherwise, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels will have little margin for error in what figures to be a much longer and more difficult NLCS journey than the previous two for the Phillies.

Top hitter: David Justice, .270, 40 HRs, 120 RBIs. Top pitcher: Maddux was 20-10 with a 2.91 ERA, while Glavine was 20-6, 3.20. What went wrong: The first of the two-time and defending NL champs to get eliminated in the NLCS, the Braves ran into a determined Phillies team. After beating the Giants by 1 game in the last of the pre-wild-card pennant races, Atlanta was up, two games to one, in the best-of-seven series and facing two games at home. But Danny Jackson and Mitch Williams, thanks to a ninth-inning doubleplay, beat the Braves, 2-1, in Game 4 and then, after blowing a three-run ninth-inning lead in Game 5, the Phils came back and won on Lenny Dykstra’s 10th-inning home run. Two nights later, the Phillies beat Maddux to oust the Braves.

Top pitcher: Denny Neagle was 20-5 with a 2.91 ERA while Maddux was 19-4, 2.20. What went wrong: Again it was failure in the NLCS that sunk the Braves. After finishing 9 games ahead of Florida, the Braves and wild-card Marlins met in the NLCS. Livan Hernandez beat them twice — topping Smoltz and then Maddux — in Games 3 and 5 to sink Cox’s club. In Game 5, with the aid of an extra-wide Eric Gregg strike zone, Hernandez struck out 15 hitters and permitted just three hits. Two days later, Kevin Brown bested Glavine and Florida clinched its first pennant. Contact staff writer Frank Fitzpatrick at 215-854-5068 or at ffitzpatrick@phillynews.com.

Union aiming for win in home finale By Marc Narducci

MLS

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

The Union hope to leave their fans with a performance to remember when they play their final Major League Soccer home game of the season at 6 p.m. Saturday against the New York Red Bulls at PPL Park. The season finale is Oct. 24 at the Columbus Crew. At 7-14-7, the Union have been competitive for an expansion team, one that has received outstanding fan support. Saturday’s game will be the Union’s fourth sellout of the season in 18,500-seat PPL Park. The Union are fourth in MLS in attendance, averaging 19,302 per game. (The first two games were at Lincoln Financial Field.) “The fans have been standing behind us, and we look at this game as an appreciation to them for our season, and we’re excited about it,” Union team manager Peter Nowak said. “There is still a little disappointment in not making the playoffs, but we’re looking forward to better days

Galaxy for long stretches but allowed a goal on a set piece. This one came on Edson Buddle’s header off a David Beckham corner kick. “We had good movement of the ball, but we still need to score goals,” Nowak said. Midfielder Fred, who required four stitches above his eye, will be ready to play Saturday, Nowak said. Others listed on the Union injury report as probable are goalie Brad Knighton (shoulder), forward Danny Mwanga (shoulder) and defender Juan Diego Gonzalez (groin). Union forward Sebastien Le Toux has 13 goals this season, three behind Buddle, the MLS leader. “We’re just hoping to end up on a positive note,” Le Toux said. Nowak said he is pleased with how the team has fared in the final leg of the season. The Union are 3-3-2 in their last eight games, and the only game in which they were not competitive was a 4-1 loss on Sept. 29 at Colorado. “We are positive moving forward, and this will be a very

good game for us,” Nowak said. New York (14-8-6) has the most points (48) in the Eastern Conference and is two points ahead of Columbus. The Red Bulls can clinch the Eastern Conference with a win and a loss or draw by Columbus at Toronto FC. New York has been boosted by the play of French international Thierry Henry, who has two goals and three assists in 11 games. The former Arsenal and Barcelona star was signed July 14. However, Henry and fellow designated player Rafael Márquez of Mexico are struggling with injuries and will be game-time decisions by head coach Hans Backe according the the Red Bulls website. New York defeated the visiting Union, 2-1, on April 24 in the teams’ only other MLS meeting. The Red Bulls also scored a 2-1 win over the Union three days later in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

Report: Wedge picked to manage Mariners ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Seattle Mariners reportedly have chosen former Cleveland Indians skipper Eric Wedge as their new manager. SI.com first reported Friday that the Mariners had selected Wedge to be their manager after their second 101-loss season in three years. Other media outlets had similar reports late Friday. Wedge becomes the team’s sixth manager since the beginning of the 2007 season. The Mariners relieved manager Don Wakamatsu of his duties on Aug. 9 during one of the worst seasons in franchise history. Asked to comment on reports about Wedge, the Mariners said there would be no official announcement Friday. Wedge had the Indians within one game of the World Series in 2007 before falling to the eventual champion Boston Red Sox in seven games.

Rockies replace Baylor. Don Baylor is being replaced as Colorado’s hitting coach by former major-league infielder Carney Lansford. Baylor, 61, has been offered a special-assistant role in the

organization, and the Rockies said he is considering the offer. Lansford, 53, was the hitting coach for the Rockies’ triple-A affiliate in Colorado Springs in 2007.

Cards, La Russa talking. A person with knowledge of the discussions said contract talks between the St. Louis Cardinals and veteran manager Tony La Russa, 66, are going well. The Cardinals finished 86-76 after a late collapse. It was La Russa’s 15th season with the team, and he had a one-year deal. Bonds witnesses listed. Fed-

eral prosecutors in San Francisco submitted the lineup of witnesses they intend to call during the much-delayed Barry Bonds perjury trial, and it includes Rockies first baseman Jason Giambi and the home run king’s former personal trainer at the center of the case. Bonds has pleaded not guilty to lying to a grand jury in 2003 when he denied knowingly taking steroids. The former Giants star’s trial is scheduled to start March 21 in San Francisco.

Clarke MacArthur scored for the fourth straight game and Phil Kessel netted the winner during an overtime power play as the undefeated Toronto Maple Leafs bounced back from a blown third-period lead and spoiled the New York Rangers’ home opener with a 4-3 victory Friday night. Just 20 seconds after Rangers defenseman Marc Staal went off for interference, Kessel scored his second goal of the game at 3 minutes, 8 seconds of overtime. Elsewhere: Carey Price made 22 saves and Alexandre Picard and Josh Gorges scored to help the Montreal Canadiens beat the Buffalo Sabres, 2-1. Patrick Sharp broke open a one-goal game with two second-period scores to lead the Chicago Blackhawks past the Columbus Blue Jackets, 5-2. A capacity crowd booed the Blue Jackets — opening their 10th season — in the third period when they failed to get off a shot on a power play. Alex Goligoski’s power-play goal at 1:51 of overtime gave the Pittsburgh Penguins their first win at Consol Energy Center, 3-2, over the New York Islanders. Avalanche goalie Craig Anderson made 41 saves as Colorado beat the New Jersey Devils, 3-2.

Franzen out for Detroit

The Detroit Red Wings will be without their top power forward Johan Franzen, who was injured in the first period of Thursday night’s game with the Dallas Stars. Franzen, who was injured on a big hit by Stars defenseman Mark Fristric, suffered a concussion and is out indefinitely. “It looked like an elbow to the head,” Wings GM Ken Holland said. The Wings already are without defenseman Brian Rafalski through the end of the month.

Elliott in goal for Senators

Senators goaltender Pascal Leclaire will miss Saturday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens because of a groin injury. Brian Elliott will start, with Robin Lehner as the backup. Lehner will join Ottawa after playing for Binghamton on Friday night. Also, Nick Foligno was fined $2,500 Friday by the NHL for an illegal check to the head on Carolina’s Patrick Dwyer. No penalty was called on the play. The fine is the maximum permitted under terms of the collective-bargaining agreement. — Associated Press

Walker surgery?

Matt Walker, acquired in the Simon Gagne deal in July, may need hip surgery, general manager Paul Holmgren said after Thursday’s practice. Walker was injured in a preseason fight against New Jersey. If he has the surgery, he will be sidelined “a couple months,” Holmgren said, adding he will have “a clear direction” on Walker’s medical status after hearing from another specialist this weekend.

76ers bedeviled by basics Collins runs drills on open shots, other fundamentals. By Kate Fagan

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Making open shots, seemingly one of the game’s simpler skills, has never come easy to these 76ers. At the end of Friday’s practice, coach Doug Collins set up a four-minute drill consisting of full-court layups and 15-foot jumpers. The goal was 120 made shots. The first attempt, his guys finished with 115. The second attempt, they finished with 117. There was no third attempt, because attention to detail was fading with each passing minute and each fullcourt sprint. “We might be here all day,” Collins joked when asked why there was no third attempt. “You know what I tell the guys — and I don’t want to put pressure on the shooting because then you start thinking — but it’s my experience that NBA players make 70 percent of open shots, so we have got to start making open shots.” While many NBA teams might make more than 70 percent of their uncontested shots, an inability to do the same has haunted the Sixers for the last few seasons. “That’s the difference between a winning team and a

losing team,” forward Thaddeus Young said when asked about Collins’ repetition with drills and attention to detail. “We’re changing the culture around here. It’s a different culture.”

Wild cards

After Friday’s practice, Collins said he looks at guard Jodie Meeks and forward Jason Kapono as the team’s “wild cards.” “It might be one of them one night, the other the other night,” the coach explained.

In flux

During Friday’s practice, Collins moved Young — traditionally a starter — to the second team. “I’m still trying to figure out who I’m going to start games with,” he said.

Hardest

Asked whether this team was the most difficult challenge of his coaching career, Collins said: “No question. Not even close. … This team does not have that kind of firepower. So is it the hardest? No question.”

Injuries

Big man Tony Battie, who hadn’t practiced all season due to right knee inflammation, was active Friday. … Center Spencer Hawes (lower back strain) participated only in the walkthrough portion. … Big man Marreese Speights (strained hamstring) did not practice. Hawes and Speights are listed as day-to-day. Contact staff writer Kate Fagan at 856-779-3844 or kfagan@phillynews.com.

Cinnaminson coach won’t take easy path

League approves exit by 3 schools

Pennsauken, Triton, and Camden County Tech will leave the Olympic Conference. By Phil Anastasia

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

As expected, the Olympic Conference has approved applications from Pennsauken, Triton, and Camden County Tech to withdraw from the conference. Conference officials unanimously agreed to release the three schools Thursday, said conference commissioner Joseph Meloche, the principal at Cherry Hill West. “This certainly is the beginning of a time of transition for the Olympic Conference,” Meloche said. “We respect the perspective of the three schools and their intention on behalf of their students.” Pennsauken, Triton, and Camden County Tech will remain members of the Olympic Conference until June 2012. Meloche said the conference over the next year “will aggressively examine scheduling opportunities” for its member schools. Pennsauken plans to apply for admission to the Burlington County League. Pennsauken officials will make a presentation to Burlington County League officials in November, Pennsauken athletic director Billy Wright said. Wright said he believes Pennsauken would be more competitive in a wider range of sports in the Burlington County League. If approved by the Burlington County League, Pennsauken would become a member in September 2012. Triton already has been approved for admission to the Tri-County Conference, according to Black Horse Pike school district athletic director Christine Dziczek. Dziczek said Triton, like Pennsauken, could be more competitive in more sports outside the Olympic Conference. “The sports that Triton is successful in, Triton will remain successful in,” Dziczek said. “The sports that maybe Triton has struggled a bit on a day-to-day basis, this will create more of a level playing field.” Triton would join the TriCounty in September 2012. Camden County Tech plans to operate as an independent. The moves by Pennsauken and Triton must be approved by the NJSIAA’s Leagues and Conferences committee.

Delsea’s Dylan Wilton (21) tries to ward off Camden Catholic’s Ryan Graves in the first half. The

Crusaders topped the Irish on a 37-yard field goal by Frank Freijomil in the game’s final play.

Delsea wins thriller over Camden Catholic Most Delsea victories come courtesy of a bruising rushing attack. This one was different. This one was special. The Crusaders ran the football with authority Friday night in a West Jersey Football League battle of unbeatens at Camden Catholic. They played their typical sturdy defense, too. But special teams made all the difference as Delsea, the No. 5 team in The Inquirer Top 10, emerged with a dramatic, 17-14 victory over No. 9 Camden Catholic on a blustery night at Shamrock Field. Delsea senior Frank Freijomil capped the Crusaders’ comeback with a 37-yard field goal on the game’s final play. “That’s the first field goal I ever made,” Freijomil said. “It’s a memorable one.” Freijomil’s kick ended a seven-play, 32-yard drive that began at the Delsea 48-yard line with 1 minute, 14 seconds on the clock. Led by senior quarterback Tyler Coulbourn (11 carries, 109 yards and a touchdown), the Crusaders marched to the Camden Catholic 20. The drive came at the end of a tense fourth period in which Delsea took advantage of a 59-yard punt by Darius Convery to change field position. The Crusaders also received a boost from the stiff wind that was at their backs. “I wasn’t even thinking about the wind,” Freijomil said. “I just wanted to kick it

Cinnaminson boys’ soccer coach Bill Dent was asked a simple question well before the season, and his response told all that one needs to know about his desire to seek the highest possible challenge. Asked if Cinnaminson, the smallest-enrollment school in the Burlington County Liberty Division, wanted to stay there or move down to the Patriot Division with schools more of its size, Dent asked a question of his own to athletic director Jim Weber. “I said, ‘Do you want banners in the gym or do you want the kids to play a good brand of soccer,’ ” Dent said. Needless to say, the banners lost out. “I think it’s better to play the best competition,” Dent said. “It’s more challenging.” Despite its size, Cinnaminson remains a heavyweight in soccer. It has been this way for more than three decades. And in the last 15 years, Dent has kept Cinnaminson at an extremely high level. He has won games and championships, and never compromised his schedule. Dent, 63, recently earned his 400th victory as a head soccer coach at Cinnaminson, Rutgers-Camden, and Riverside, getting it with Monday’s 4-0 win against Highland. At Riverside, he won three state championships. Then he took over what had been a floundering Rutgers-Camden program and turned it into a consistent winner. After a return stint at Riverside that was followed by a stint as an assistant at Lenape, he took over Cinnaminson 15 years ago. The Pirates entered Fri-

day’s South Jersey Coaches Tournament matchup with Burlington Township at 7-2-1 and ranked No. 10 in South Jersey by The Inquirer. Three other teams in the Liberty Division are in the Inquirer Top 10: Delran (No. 7), Burlington Township (8), and Rancocas Valley (9). Cinnaminson must play those teams twice a season. The other two Liberty teams are defending South Jersey Group 3 champion Moorestown, a Coaches Tournament participant, and Northern Burlington, which has tied Rancocas Valley and beaten Delran. There isn’t an easy opponent in what is arguably South Jersey’s deepest division. But Dent wanted to stay with the bigger schools because he knew it was good for his youngsters to be tested to the limit on an almost daily basis. “It’s challenging, and what most people want is a challenge in life,” Dent said. Dent said he is proud of the 400 wins but doesn’t want to dwell on it. “I appreciate it, but really, I’ve been very lucky with great kids to coach,” he said. He has been a proven winner in all his stops. Two trademarks of his teams are that they play hard, and he gives them the same effort. Few scout as meticulously as Dent. It all has led to a highly successful career, one that still has plenty of games and wins left against some of the best competition that a school of any size faces.

like it was an extra point.” Delsea (6-0) has won 23 of its last 25 games by running its wing-T offense, wearing down opponents with powerful line play and bruising backs. The Crusaders don’t deviate from their winning formula. But they got a big touchdown pass earlier in the fourth quarter, as Coulbourn hit Oobie Pittman in the left flat on fourth and 5 and the junior running back went 12 yards for a touchdown. Freijomil’s second extra point tied the game at 14. Camden Catholic (4-1) played strong defense, and the Irish twice took the lead. But Delsea has a knack for finding a way to win. On this night, it was thanks to the strong left leg of a converted soccer player.

Freijomil never played football before last season. He missed his only field-goal attempt in 2009. He got the chance to live a football kicker’s dream after Delsea called its final timeout with 0:02 on the clock. “As soon as I ran on the field, I took a deep breath and I didn’t hear anything,” Freijomil said. “The snap was perfect, the hold was perfect, and the kick was right there.” Delsea Camden Catholic

Eustace upsets Eastern on a dramatic penalty kick By Phil Anastasia

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

With the wind in her face, Taylor Baranowsky knew she needed a little extra effort. That same approach lifted the Bishop Eustace girls’ soccer team to its most impressive victory of the season. Baranowsky’s dramatic penalty kick enabled 15th-seeded Bishop Eustace to upset second-seeded Eastern on Friday in the first round of the South Jersey Soccer Coaches Association tournament. Baranowsky’s goal, which hit the crossbar and ricocheted down just inside the line, gave the Crusaders a 5-3 victory in penalty kicks. The teams had played to a 1-1 tie through 80 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of sudden-death overtime. “I knew I was going into the wind, so I had to hit it a little harder,” Baranowsky said. “When it went over the line, it was such a thrill.” Bishop Eustace (6-7-2) took a

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

1-0 lead in the first half on a sweet goal by Dana Bernetick, who volleyed a corner kick from Sarah Martella into the back of the net in the 10th minute. Eastern (8-1-4) staged a furious rally with the wind at its back in the second half. The Vikings tied the score with just 5 minutes, 34 seconds remaining in regulation on Danielle Genay’s goal on a high shot from around 25 yards. But Bishop Eustace’s defense withstood Eastern’s pressure, thanks largely to a strong game from sweeper Emily Hansinger. “She was phenomenal,” Eustace coach Andrew Schmitt said. Eastern coach Jamie McGroarty said his team did a good job of maintaining possession in the second half but couldn’t convert its opportunities. “That’s been the story of our season,” McGroarty said. “We have control, we win a lot of balls, but we can’t finish.”

Bishop Eustace received penalty-kick goals from Hansinger, Bernetick, Caroline O’Dee, and Brittany Stone to take a 4-3 lead. Eastern got goals from Sydney Cetrullo, Kathleen Lyons, and Eve Seidman, but the Vikings missed on their fourth try. That set the stage for Baranowsky’s winner, which advanced the Crusaders to a second-round game against the winner of Saturday’s clash between seventh-seeded Gloucester Catholic and 10th seed Cherokee. “This is really big because we feel like we don’t get a lot of respect,” Baranowsky said. “This shows that we can play with teams.”

Florence and Palmyra shared the Burlington/Olympic Freedom Division football title last year, but this season, they’re in different divisions of the new West Jersey Football League. On Friday night at Palmyra, Florence had a chance to prove that it was better than the Panthers, who had won the old Burlington/Olympic division crown in 2008, too. Junior Alonzo Sadler had different ideas. Sadler scored on touchdown runs of 10 and 55 yards and returned a punt 40 yards for another score to lead Palmyra to a 30-14 win. He also scored on a conversion run and conversion pass. With only one loss, Palmyra (4-1) is eyeing the Central Jersey Group 1 playoffs as well as the title in the WJFL Freedom Division, in which it is 2-0 and has two games to play in November.
