Benedict XVI affirmed a miracle and beatification, the fastest in modern era. By Henry Chu and Livia Borghese LOS ANGELES TIMES

VATICAN CITY — The news reached Maria Helena Pambo as she stood in line at St. Peter’s Square to pray at the tomb of Pope John Paul II. On a gloriously sunny afternoon, Pambo heard that the late pontiff is to be beatified this spring, barely six years after his death — the quickest anyone has been bestowed the honor in modern times. The Vatican announced Friday that his successor, Pope Benedict XVI, had approved the move. “It’s a day of joy,” said Pambo, 34, a nun from Peru. “I never met John Paul II, but now that I live in Rome, every two or three days when I have some time off, I come to pray at his tomb. I ask him for help.” Tens of thousands of her fellow devotees are expected to converge on the square May 1, the first Sunday after Easter, for the beatification ceremony. Replete with religious pomp and fervor, the event is expected to be a morale booster for an institution beleaguered by accusations of silence and duplicity See POPE on A6

Rendell hits ‘endless’ death-row appeals By Amy Worden

INQUIRER HARRISBURG BUREAU

HARRISBURG — Gov. Rendell said Friday that the state effectively has no death penalty because of an “endless appeal system.” He called on the General Assembly either to streamline the process or do away with capital punishment. Rendell, who steps down Tuesday when Gov.-elect Tom Corbett is inaugurated, made his remarks minutes after signing his final half-dozen death warrants, bringing his total to 119 since taking office in 2003. “Not one of these individuals has been executed or is even close to a reasonable date,” Rendell said at a Capitol news conference. Rendell, a death-penalty advocate, said capital punishment must be expeditiously meted out or eliminated. Absent the death penalty, Rendell suggested, the state should institute life sentences without possibility of parole or pardon. Since the death penalty was reinstated in Pennsylvania in 1978, five governors have issued 386 death warrants. Only three people have been executed in that See RENDELL on A4

Anderson pick: Farrow Actress will be honored in Phila. for human-rights work. By Carrie Rickey

Mia Farrow will

Mia Farrow, the actress and humanitarian whose persistent advocacy of human rights in sub-Saharan Africa has earned her international recognition, will receive the Marian Anderson Award in May, Mayor Nutter announced Friday. The prize is named for the Philadelphia-born contralto who used her celebrity to effect social change. Since 1998, it has been given to entertainer/ activists such as Bill Cosby, Sidney Poitier, and Gregory Peck. When

Anderson (1897-1993), the celebrated African American singer, met with racial intolerance, she gracefully fought for social justice. “This is such a prestigious award,” Farrow said Friday from her Connecticut home. “I accept it in the name of the men, women, and children I’ve met through my travels. … These are people who embody Miss Anderson’s tremendous courage, resilience, and humanity in the face of unspeakable adversity.” Farrow is the porcelain beauty notSee FARROW on A4

President flees Tunisia after mass uprising By David D. Kirkpatrick

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

TUNIS, Tunisia — President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali fled his country Friday after a month of street demonstrations against his authoritarian government and increasingly vociferous calls for his ouster. The prime minister went on state television Friday night to say he was temporarily in charge. Later Friday, Saudi Arabia announced that Ben Ali had arrived there. The Saudi Press Agency cited a statement from the office of King Abdullah that said: “We have welcomed in the Saudi kingdom the arrival of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and his family.” No further information was available. In his speech to the country, Tunisian Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi said: “As the president of the republic is unable to exercise his functions for the time being, I have assumed, starting now, the powers of the president.” “I call on all sons and daughters of Tunisia,” he said, “to show the spirit of patriotism and unity in order to enable our country, which is dear to all of us, to overcome this difficult phase and restore its security and stability.” The fall of Ben Ali, who ruled with a heavy hand for more than two decades, marks the first time in recent memory that widespread See TUNISIA on A4

Panel: Women OK for combat

Tucson again says goodbye

Nearly 2,000 mourners gathered amid tight security at the funeral for Judge John Roll. By David Zucchino and Scott Gold LOS ANGELES TIMES

TUCSON, Ariz. — Gerald F. Kicanas, bishop of the Diocese of Tucson, was attending a Catholic conference on peace in the Middle East when he learned while watching CNN that a gunman had opened fire on a crowd back home. He was stunned, he said — and then he thought he heard the name “John Roll.” “I thought I had misheard,” Kicanas said in an interview. He hadn’t; Roll, Arizona’s chief federal judge, a close friend who attended Mass every day, was among the dead. “I just broke down,” Kicanas said. “It was a terribly sad experience.” Kicanas, 69, a leading voice in U.S. Catholicism, rushed home to tend to his flock, one of the largest in the nation. Of all the duties thrust upon him

in the dizzying days since last Saturday’s shooting — holding a Mass for the community, even presiding over Thursday’s funeral of 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green — delivering the homily on Friday, when Roll was laid to rest, was the most devastating, he said. “A lot of emotion,” he said quietly. He described Roll as “a very balanced person of great integrity.” St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church was packed again Friday for the Mass and service for Roll. Security was tight because many of Roll’s judicial colleagues, plus other dignitaries, were attending. Among nearly 2,000 mourners, according to a local fire official, were Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl (both R., Ariz.), who said they were preparing legislation to name a federal courthouse in Yuma in Roll’s honor. Gov. Jan Brewer and former Vice President Dan Quayle also attended. Quayle carried a handwritten message from former President George H.W. Bush, who appointed Roll to the federal

bench in 1991. Traffic clogged the streets leading to the church, and mourners were screened by sheriff’s deputies and federal officials on their way inside. Some were turned away. Patrick McGrath, a state Supreme Court bailiff, said he had driven from Phoenix to pay his respects to the judge, with whom he played golf and sometimes had lunch. “If Judge Roll asked you, ‘How’s it going?’ he really meant it,” McGrath said. “He’d listen — really listen. He treated me like a close friend.” McGrath was among those unable to enter the church. He said a guard told him, “Unless you are a dignitary, you are not getting in.” Roll, 63, was born in Pittsburgh but moved to Arizona as a boy. He became Arizona’s chief federal judge in 2006. Kicanas and Roll were both transplants to Arizona — Kicanas grew up in Chicago. The two became fast friends. Roll attended Mass each day — including Jan. 8, the morning of the attack. On his way home, he decided to drop by a

A gunman identified as Jared Loughner, 22, opened fire; six were killed and 13 wounded, including Giffords. Loughner has been charged with five federal crimes, including Roll’s murder. Documents released Friday showed he had bought bullets at a Wal-Mart and posted “Goodbye friends” online. Giffords, recovering from a gunshot wound to the head, remained in critical condition

but progressing Friday. Dr. Peter Rhee said physicians might try to remove her breathing tube Saturday. Her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, was among the mourners at Roll’s funeral. Services for the others killed will be held in coming days. A funeral is set Sunday for Dorwan Stoddard, 76, a retiree. On Monday, there will be a celebration of the life of Gabriel Zimmerman, 30, a Giffords aide. This article includes information from the Associated Press.

U.S. will loosen some Cuba curbs By Lesley Clark

McCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

WASHINGTON — The White House moved Friday to make it easier for U.S. school, religious, and cultural groups to visit Cuba and for Americans to send dollars to Cubans. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the changes were aimed at empowering ordinary Cubans to loosen the grip of the communist regime. He noted that the U.S. economic embargo remained. The changes restore — and increase — the amount of money that Americans can send to Cubans who are not part of the ruling apparatus. Before President George W. Bush tightened sanctions, Americans could send up to $300 every three months. The

Obama administration is raising that to $500 a quarter, to “support private economic activity.” Cuba’s cash-strapped government has said it will lay off 500,000 state workers by April 1, encouraging them to set up small businesses. The administration is also restoring a category of “people-to-people” travel, which allows for “purposeful” visits to increase contacts between Americans and Cubans. The change in U.S. policy comes as the Cuban government has earned international goodwill by freeing political prisoners. While the government remains at loggerheads with Washington over its detention without trial of Alan Gross, a U.S. govern-

ment subcontractor, an American official this week expressed optimism that he would be released. Opponents of easing sanctions said the changes would only prop up the regime. “It is unthinkable that the administration would enable the enrichment of a Cuban regime that routinely violates the basic human rights and dignity of its people,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) said. But Francisco “Pepe” Hernandez, president of the Cuban American National Foundation, said the increase in remittances, along with greater contact with Cubans on the island, “will help to break the chains of dependency that the Castro regime has traditionally used to oppress those inside Cuba.”

A report proposes dismantling the military’s last major area of discrimination. By Pauline Jelinek ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Women should finally be allowed to serve fully in combat, a military advisory panel said Friday in a report seeking to dismantle the last major area of discrimination in the armed forces. The call by a commission of current and retired military officers to let women be frontline fighters could set in motion another sea change in military culture as the armed forces, generations after racial barriers fell, grapple with the phaseout of the ban on gays serving openly. The newest move is being recommended by the Military Leadership Diversity Commission, which Congress established two years ago. The panel was to send its proposals to Congress and President Obama. It is time “to create a Calling it level playing field for time for all quali- “a level fied service members,” playing the mem- field for all bers said. qualified Oppon e n t s o f service putting women in members.” combat question whether they have the necessary strength and stamina. They also have said the inclusion of women in infantry and other combat units might harm unit cohesion, a similar argument to that made by critics regarding gays in the military. They warn that Americans won’t tolerate large numbers of women coming home in body bags. Those arguments have held sway during previous efforts to lift the ban. Congress recently stripped the “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on gays serving openly, and the Navy changed its rules over the last year to allow women to serve on submarines for the first time. Women are barred from certain combat assignments in all the services but face the broadest restrictions in the Army and Marines. Anu Bhagwati, a former Marine captain and executive director of the advocacy group Service Women’s Action Network, said the prohibition on women in combat “is archaic, it does not reflect the many sacrifices and contributions that women make in the military, and it ignores the reality of current war-fighting doctrine.” Although thousands of American women have served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and been exposed to great danger — 134 have been killed — they have largely been restricted to combat support jobs such as medics or logistical and transportation officers. Defense policy bars women from being assigned to any unit smaller than a brigade whose primary mission is direct combat on the ground. The new report says that keeping women out of combat posts prohibits them from serving in roughly 10 percent of Marine Corps and Army occupational specialties and thus is a barrier to advancement. “The Armed Forces have not yet succeeded in developing leaders who are as diverse as the nation they serve,” it says. “Minorities and women still lag behind white men in terms of number of military leadership positions.” Women generally make up about 14 percent of the armed services. Of the roughly 2.2 million troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, more than 255,000 have been women, Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said. “It’s something whose time has come,” said Lory Manning of the Women’s Research and Education Institute. Lainez said the department would review the recommendations when the report is delivered.

GOP: Hearings due on health law

NEW YORK — The CIA should investigate how its employees destroyed tapes of 9/11 detainee interrogations and explain how it will prevent such a thing from happening again, a federal judge told a government lawyer Friday. “This kind of destruction never should have occurred,” and the CIA should show that it has learned its lesson, U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein told government lawyers for the agency at a hearing. The judge said the destruction of tapes of interrogations that used harsh methods showed that the CIA did not trust “judges to have proper regard for the security interests of the United States.” The government has acknowledged destroying 92 videotapes, including those containing interrogations of alQaeda lieutenant Abu Zubaydah. The George W. Bush administration had said some tapes were destroyed in 2005 to protect the identities of the government questioners while the Justice Department was debating whether the interrogation tactics were legal. — AP

know the tragic limits and awesome possibilities of American power.” Obama was among the dignitaries who gathered for a memorial service for Holbrooke, special U.S. envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, at Wa s h i n g t o n ’s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Those in attendance included former President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari, and Vice President Biden. Holbrooke was probably best known for his work as Clinton’s special mediator to

end the war in Bosnia, which culminated in a 20-day negotiating session at the WrightPatterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. The resulting Dayton peace accords, as the agreement came to be known, divided Bosnia into a MuslimCroat federation and a Serbian republic. “I loved the guy because he could ‘do,’ ” Clinton, citing Holbrooke’s work on the Dayton accords. “ ‘Doing’ in diplomacy saves lives.” Hillary Clinton said she and Holbrooke “were a team” and there was “simply no one like him in the world.” “Richard was brilliant,

blunt, and he did fight until the final bell for what he believed in,” Clinton said. She said he was so tenacious that he once even followed her into a restroom in Pakistan to make his case. “The sheer breadth of his knowledge and his thirst for more was staggering,” said Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “Some people’s minds are like steel traps. Richard’s was like a lint trap.” Holbrooke died after undergoing surgery to repair a tear in his aorta that was discovered when he fell ill Dec. 10 while at work.

Tasty Baking is given money and more time

Rendell hits ‘endless’ death-row appeals RENDELL from A1 time, including Philadelphia serial killer Gary R. Heidnik. Those executions were carried out because the inmates voluntarily gave up their appeals. There are 213 men and four women on the state’s death row. Sixteen were prosecuted in Philadelphia while Rendell was district attorney between 1978 and 1986. Rendell said that while he continued to support the death penalty as a deterrent if it is carried out “in an expeditious way,” he blamed what he called the appeals system for delays that have lasted decades. “It revictimizes victims’ families and it’s a waste of money,” he said. “A 15-, 20-, or 25-year lapse between the imposition of the death penalty and actual execution is no deterrent.” Republican leaders who control the House and Senate were generally receptive to Rendell’s request to examine the death-penalty process. Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R., Delaware) said it was worth considering, along with other criminal justice issues. House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (R., Allegheny) said he would send the governor’s letter to the Judiciary Committee for consideration. Corbett, the outgoing attorney general, supports the death penalty and does not favor changes to the system. Spokesman Kevin Harley said Corbett blames the delays in Pennsylvania on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and says there’s nothing the state can do about a federal court’s inaction.

Gov. Rendell said the lengthy appeals process

“revictimizes victims’ families” and is costly.

“The problem is not with Pennsylvania or the Pennsylvania courts. The problem is with the Third Circuit Court, which has overturned many death penalties,” Harley said. Among the judges on the appellate court is Rendell’s wife, Marjorie O. Rendell. William DiMascio, executive director of the Pennsylvania Prison Society, a group that advocates for prisoners and their families, said that while he would like to eliminate the death penalty, until then there should be leeway in sentencing to consider, for instance, accomplices in murder cases. Of the six death warrants signed Friday, three are for Philadelphians: Larry Brown, 33, convicted of the 2003 shooting death of Robert Crawford; Kareem Johnson, 26, for the 2002 shooting death of Walter Smith; and Christopher Smith, 29, for the 2002 shooting death of Rasheed Grant.

Under Friday’s amended credit agreement, Citizens and other banks deferred until June 30 all principal payments, waived certain defaults, amended certain financial covenants, and established additional covenants, including imposing until June 30 minimum cash balances and prohibiting the payment of any dividends on the company’s common stock. Tasty’s state and local public lenders and its landlord, Liberty Property Trust, have agreed to defer certain payments until June. The deal also requires Tasty to “pursue consummating the sale or merger of the company by June 30.” Potential buyers, according to the speculation by analysts and former executives, include Bimbo Bakeries USA in Horsham and Flowers Foods Inc. of Thomasville,

President flees Tunisia after uprising

TUNISIA from A1 demonstrations have overthrown an Arab leader. The country of 10 million, which is determinedly secular, is a close U.S. ally in the fight against terrorism. But on Friday, after reports that Ben Ali had fled, President Obama made strong statements in support of the protesters. “I condemn and deplore the use of violence against citizens peacefully voicing their opinion in Tunisia, and I applaud the courage and dignity of the Tunisian people,” Obama said in a statement. “The United States stands with the entire international community in bearing witness to this brave and determined struggle for the universal rights that we must all uphold, and we will long remember the images of the Tunisian people seeking to make their voices heard.” There were unconfirmed reports Friday night that Tunisia’s airspace had been closed. The prime minister’s announcement that he was leading an interim government followed an extraordinary and fast-moving back-andforth between the government and the protesters, who became emboldened over the last month of demonstrations. After the president tried to placate the protesters Thursday with a suggestion that he would not run for reelection in 2014 and with promises that he would allow them to demonstrate, tens of thousands rushed into the streets of Tunis on Friday to take advantage of his pledge by calling for his ouster. But when the protesters led a funeral procession for a recently killed protester through the streets, the police moved to disperse the crowds, beating demonstrators and raining tear gas on those who had gathered in

A story in some editions Friday misidentified the court that ordered an inquiry to determine whether New Jersey public school students have been harmed by cuts to state education funding. The state Supreme Court ordered the fact-finding hearing. ¢ A story Thursday on the arraignment of Kenneth L. Patterson in the disappearance and presumed death of Diane Corado wrongly stated where Corado’s vehicle was found. The 2004 Pontiac Aztek was found in Camden on Dec. 19. ¢ An obituary Wednesday for George Harris, a U.S. judo Olympian who died Jan. 7, wrongly described the requirement of judo training in the Strategic Air Command in the 1950s. Combative Measures Training was required of SAC bomber air-crew personnel and air security police, though under different regimens.

Plainclothes police and riot police clash with demonstrators in Tunis on Friday. President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, who ruled for

more than two decades, fled the country Friday. President Obama later made strong statements in support of the protesters. front of the Interior Ministry. It is unclear whether any demonstrators were shot Friday. Ben Ali then announced that he had dismissed the cabinet and would hold early legislative elections, but news agencies said the government also declared a state of emergency forbidding new demonstrations and warning that those who disobeyed would be shot. There were reports of gunfire downtown in the capital early Friday night, the Associated Press reported. The reports that the president had left surfaced soon after that, as did the announcement by the prime minister. Ghannouchi did not say whether

he would reinstate the cabinet. While there were reports that members of Ben Ali’s family may have traveled to France in two planes on Friday, according to the newspaper Le Monde’s website, it seemed clear that France had discouraged Ben Ali himself from seeking refuge there. President Nicolas Sarkozy of France met for an hour with French Premier Francois Fillon to discuss Tunisia, a former French possession in North Africa that still has substantial ties to France. In a statement earlier, Sarkozy took note of the change of power in Tunisia and said that “only dialogue can

bring a democratic and lasting solution to the current crisis.” Tunisia is far different from most neighboring Arab countries. There is little Islamist fervor there, it has a large middle class, and under Ben Ali and his predecessor, Habib Bourguiba, it had invested heavily in education. Not only are women not required to cover their heads, but they also enjoy a spectrum of civil rights, including free contraception, that are well beyond those in most countries in the region. The educational investment has been something of a mixed blessing for the government, however, because it produced

a generation of college-educated young people who face bleak job prospects in Tunisia’s corruption-clogged economy. The antigovernment demonstrations began a month ago when a college-educated street vendor burned himself to death in protest of his dismal prospects. The protests were accelerated by the heavy use of socialmedia websites such as Facebook and Twitter by young people, who used the Internet to call for demonstrations and to circulate videos of each successive clash.

children’s rights. “Her work … in raising awareness for children in conflict-affected regions, and on behalf of refugees around the globe, is unparalleled,” Nutter said Friday. On her website, miafarrow.org, the 65-year-old actress provides context for her social activism and tries to help Americans understand how they may be connected to geopolitical events. In a 2007 opinion piece for the Boston Globe, Farrow wrote of her horror that she had “inadvertently been helping to finance the geno-

cide in Darfur.” She realized that her own pension had been in mutual funds that had investments in oil companies doing business with Sudan. President Omar alBashir was indicted in July by the International Criminal Court, charged with genocide and war crimes in Darfur. In 2008, Farrow likewise took to task the government of China for “underwriting genocide in Darfur” by preserving its alliance with Sudan in order to “meet its massive oil needs.” She has been in the forefront of raising awareness

about economic and social challenges facing Africa, advocating that wealthier nations commit themselves to helping poorer countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals. These include reducing poverty and unacceptably high rates of maternal and infant mortality, and increasing access to education. For her commitment, Farrow received the Refugees International Humanitarian Award in 2008 for “extraordinary service to refugees and displaced people,” and the Leon Sullivan International Service Award in

2009. Farrow, daughter of the director John Farrow and the actress Maureen O’Sullivan, is also known for her relationships with Frank Sinatra, her first husband; André Previn, her second; and Woody Allen, with whom she made such films as The Purple Rose of Cairo.

In the World On treaty, Russia vote is tit for tat

MOSCOW — Legislators in the lower house of Russia’s parliament Friday passed a set of conditions they said were required for the country to honor a pivotal nucleararms pact with the United States, reacting to a similar resolution by the U.S. Senate. The State Duma voted 349-57 with two abstentions to pass a ratification bill of the New START treaty in the second of three readings. The house is to hold the final vote Jan. 25, after which the treaty will go to the upper house for final approval. Prospects for the pact’s passage aren’t in doubt, but Russian lawmakers want to respond to the U.S. Senate resolution with a similar motion. That resolution said the treaty should not restrict U.S. plans to develop a missile-defense system. In response, the Duma ratification bill says the treaty can be fulfilled only if emerging missile defenses don’t erode the Russian nuclear deterrent. Neither the Senate nor the Duma resolution would affect the text of the treaty. — AP

“He reached out in a very special way to the young people” around the world, Rigali said, and he made a “colossal effort” to greet people in their own language. Rigali said he was “very happily surprised” that the announcement came this soon. Marco Tosatti, a veteran Vatican-watcher, said the public outpouring of adulation for John Paul almost certainly influenced Benedict. “If the Vatican had said, ‘No, we don’t have enough reasons to say he’s a saint,’ Catholic people would consider him a saint in spite of it. They don’t need the Vatican seal of approval,” said Tosatti, who writes for the Italian newspaper La Stampa. “The people considered him a saint even when he was still alive.” For millions, John Paul was an inspiring figure because of his staunch opposition to communism during the Cold War, his resilience after being wounded in a 1981 assassination attempt, and a common touch that endeared him to devotees during his trips

around the world. But there are critics, too, who note his strong opposition to female priests, abortion, and gay rights, and the fact that many of the cases of sexual molestation or physical abuse of minors by priests occurred during his 27-year papacy. “The church hierarchy can avoid rubbing more salt into these wounds by slowing down their hasty drive to confer sainthood on the pontiff under whose reign most of the widely documented clergy sex crimes and cover-ups took place,” Barbara Dorris, spokeswoman for Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said in a statement from St. Louis. Last year, some Vatican officials reportedly had doubts about the diagnosis and healing of the Parkinson’s disease that afflicted Sister Marie Simon-Pierre, a nun who works in a hospital in Arles, France. She had told church authorities that after other nuns had prayed to John Paul for her and after she herself had writ-

ten down his name on a piece of paper, she awoke one morning in June 2005 free of the disabling pain that had made normal life impossible. The Vatican’s Congregation for the Causes of Saints said Friday that its medical investigators had scrutinized the case carefully and concluded that the nun’s recovery from the degenerative disease had no scientific explanation, in other words, that the miracle was genuine. Interviewed Friday by French and Italian television, Sister Marie said John Paul “hasn’t left me; he won’t leave me until the end of my life.” Tosatti said 300 miracles had been attributed to John Paul since his death; and though the nun’s case might not have been the strongest, the church apparently decided to stick with it. At the end of 2009, Benedict gave formal recognition of John Paul’s “heroic virtues” and granted him the title of “venerable.” After his beatification, the late pontiff will be known as “blessed.”

Berlusconi faces a new inquiry

ROME — Prosecutors are investigating whether Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl from Morocco and then abused his power in trying to cover up the encounters, officials said Friday. Berlusconi, 74, dismissed the probe as “absurd” and the teenager has said Silvio she dined Berlusconi at his Milan estate but didn’t have sex with him. Milan prosecutors said they were looking into whether he tried to cover up his liaisons with the girl by seeking to free her from police custody after she was arrested on theft charges. The billionaire businessman so far has weathered a long history of accusations of sexual and financial impropriety. First elected prime minister in 1994, he has become Italy’s longest-serving postwar leader. But he has been weakened by a challenge from a former ally, and a law shielding him from two unrelated trials in Milan was watered down Thursday by Italy’s Constitutional Court. — AP

Spain charges Demjanjuk

MADRID, Spain — A Spanish judge has indicted John Demjanjuk on charges of being an accessory to genocide and crimes against humanity while serving as a Nazi concentration-camp guard. The 90-year-old former Ohio autoworker is already being tried in Germany on 28,060 counts of being an accessory to murder while serving as a guard at the Nazis’ Sobibor death camp. Spanish Judge Ismael Moreno accused Demjanjuk of working at the Nazi concentration camp in Flossenbuerg in Bavaria in southern Germany, where Moreno said 155 Spaniards were held, 60 of whom died. Moreno indicted Demjanjuk in an order dated Jan. 7 and made available Friday by the National Court. The Ukraine-born Demjanjuk denies ever serving as a Nazi guard. He maintains he was a Soviet soldier captured by the Germans, spent most of the war in prison camps himself, and is being mistaken for someone else. — AP

N.Y.’s Imam Rauf leaves a key role By David B. Caruso ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The organization planning to build an Islamic community center near the World Trade Center said Friday that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who cofounded the project and has served as its public face, is shifting out of a key leadership role so he can focus on other initiatives. The nonprofit group Park51 said Rauf, who is set to start a national speaking tour Satur-

day and often travels abroad, did not have enough time to spend on the center. The group announced a new senior adviser to lead religious programing: Shaykh Abdallah Adhami, a U.S.-born scholar with an architecture degree known for his lectures on gender relations. The Kuwait-born Rauf, who helped come up with the idea for the center and promoted it amid controversy over its location, two blocks from

ground zero, announced in the fall that he was starting a global movement to promote better relations among faiths. Rauf will remain on its board and involved in the project, Park51 said in a statement. But it said it needed someone to focus on the dayto-day work of building a congregation. “Our focus is and must remain the residents of lower Manhattan and the Muslim American community in the

The backers of the community center and mosque are planning on replacing a defunct clothing store with a 13to 16-story building that would hold various facilities, including a 9/11 memorial. Critics have assailed the project as insensitive for its proximity to the site of the attack by Islamic extremists.

Safety, first W

hile there are many unanswered questions about how it would be done, a proposal that Camden County establish a police and fire department that would provide coverage for a fee to municipalities that opt into a shared-service agreement has merit. The proposal made Thursday is timely since the city of Camden is preparing to lay off half of its police force and a third of its firefighters to make budget. Negotiations with the unions on pay concessions that might stave off the layoffs have been unsuccessful. It is tempting to write off the idea of a countywide police and fire department as simply a ploy to break up the city’s unions. But other municipalities in the county struggling to meet the expense of police and fire protection would also benefit from such an idea. “We’re setting up an opportunity for those municipalities who might think that joining a county police department might create some economies of scale,” Freeholder Edward McDonnell told

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

A proposal that Camden County provide police and fire protection to municipalities that pay a fee is worth considering. the Courier-Post newspaper. “We’ll set up the mechanism and those who want to join will join and those who don’t, won’t.” If the county does this, residents must be concerned about any lapse in protection. After all, the new organization must be established, personnel hired, and equipment purchased. County officials said hiring can be expedited under legislation that allows laid-off police and fire personnel to skip civil-service procedures. In any case, the bottom line must be no deterioration in public safety. Camden, in particular, has a crime problem that is too serious to be left to experiments. Make sure this will really work.

Model jurors

everal Pennsylvania counties are giving citizens another reason to take pride in serving on a jury by affording jurors the opportunity to donate their nominal day’s pay to good causes. Montgomery County this month became the latest county to launch a charity donor program, modeling its effort after similar programs running in Delaware and Allegheny Counties. In just the first few days, $500 was donated by Montco jurors, county officials said. But the potential upside in charitable donations — earmarked for neglected children, the mentally ill, and victims of domestic violence — is far greater. The need is clearly there as many social service agencies confront budget shortfalls. Since 2003, Delaware County has raised $450,000 for various causes. As residents of many welloff communities, Montgomery ju-

A program in some counties that donates jury pay is generating big bucks for some social services. rors should be able to match that and more. Not many jurors will miss the $9 to $12 a day, plus 17 cents per mile in travel expenses, but the charitable causes will benefit by bundling the pay of many jurors. For jurors, donating their pay is another good way to demonstrate citizenship. For county court officials, the charity program provides yet another incentive to maintain initiatives that minimize the inconvenience of serving on juries since grumpy jurors are less likely to be generous.

The aftermath of the Arizona shootings Sarah Palin and others depicted their political opponents, including U.S. Rep. Garbrielle Giffords, in the crosshairs of a rifle. This is similar to what hunters do just before killing a defenseless animal. This may well have been the catalyst that triggered Jared Loughner’s rampage. He felt justified in taking aim at his own “opponents” in Arizona. Call it politicizing. Call it whatever you want. What public figures do and say can have a profound influence on what ordinary people think and do. Ask any Serb or African American or Jew. Palin and her ilk exercised a gross lack of judgment. The vitriolic rhetoric, especially from the right, is inflammatory and sets a bad example. Civility must be the rule, not the exception. George W. Bauer Rehoboth Beach

¢ The shooting in Arizona is a tragedy. It is also the act of a deranged person with a known history of mental instability. It was not a political act or statement against Congress or the government. These are the facts that should be reported by an honest press. Calls for civility only occur when conservatives and Republicans are in charge. Never once did we hear this when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid were running roughshod over their Republican counterparts. George W. Bush was called a liar, war criminal, and Hitler, and a film was made about assassinating him. Lies, slander, and hatred are spewed every day against conservatives, yet there is never a word from liberal pundits about that “hate speech.” So spare us the hypocrisy and false calls for civility. Let us grieve with the families of the slain and injured and keep them in our prayers.

¢ It really doesn’t matter whether or not the discourse in this country directly influenced Jared Loughner. It is, however, important that the issue has been raised and presents an opportunity to change the decline of political speech that has grown so prevalent. Vitriolic rhetoric can only be harmful to our relationships and detrimental to our progress as a country. We have become polarized and focused on labels that are no more than a form of bullying and discourage progress in the health and welfare of us all. I can only hope that the spectrum of politicos who are calling for improved relations, civil speech, and mutual respect can prevail while still enjoying the free speech that is a foundation of our democratic country. Phyllis Hartman Cherry Hill

¢ Now is a good time to question what has become of the assault weapons ban. The weapon, and the accompanying clip, that the killer used in Arizona serves one purpose and one purpose only: to kill and maim many people as efficiently as possible. I’m sure the NRA will tell us differently, but it’s a killing machine and it showed what can be done in the hands of an unstable person. Yeah, guns don’t kill people, people kill people. But guns like that allow people to do it more efficiently, on a larger scale.

¢ Nothing is more disgusting than someone trying to make political hay out of a tragedy such as the murderous rampage in Tucson. Many on the political left are trying to do just that, which was predictable. What appears to be the act of a seriously deranged individual is now considered the result of heated political rhetoric, all of which comes exclusively from the political right, of course. The Editorial Board, while decrying the intensity of such rhetoric (“Tragedy in Arizona,” Tuesday), trots out its vitriolic rhetoritician-in-chief, Tony Auth, in an effort to lay blame on those racist scalawags in the tea party.

U.S. Rep. Robert Brady (D., Pa.) wants to outlaw certain symbols such as bull’s eyes in campaign literature. Where was he on Jan. 6, when House members read aloud the Constitution? Where was he when the First Amendment was read? This is behavior unbecoming of a man who has taken an oath to uphold the Constitution. Brady should be disciplined the way Mrs. Krabappel deals with Bart Simpson when he misbehaves. Bart is forced to write an apologetic sentence over and over on the blackboard. Brady should be forced to write: “Congress shall make no laws … abridging the freedom of speech” until his hand is sore and he runs out of chalk. Mark Fritz Bloomsburg

¢ The tragedy in Tucson is a sad commentary on violence in our culture and the lack of focus on mentalhealth issues. Those with mentalhealth problems often get lost in “the system” because of a lack of attention paid to them, a lack of money, or other issues. Attention must be given to confronting the matter of mental health. Barry Jacobs Philadelphia

¢ Since the murders in Tucson, I find myself searching for a suitable word to refer to the murderer. Certainly the word suspect is being used repeatedly, for a man is innocent until proven guilty. But I find myself wondering how many people need to witness the murders before the person ceases to be just a suspect. Milton Herzog Columbus, N.J.

Public-sector employees must help in hard times Most employees of public unions want to point the blame for many of our problems away from their unions (“Don’t blame the unions for corporate misdeeds,” Tuesday). While it’s true that there have been plenty of corporate misdeeds, public unions are also a large part of the problem. As the letter writer correctly states, average taxpayers never begrudge civil servants the opportunity to earn a respectable wage, job security, excellent benefits, and the ability for a comfortable retirement when times are good and everyone is benefiting from a strong economy. The difference is that the private sector self-corrects during down times with layoffs, lower wages, or benefits cuts. The public sector seldom goes through these corrections and has now grown to an oversized, overpaid bureaucracy that receives better benefits and unheard-of pensions while the taxpayers suffer. In reality, unions are not different from corporations. Corporations exist to make a profit and serve their bottom lines. Public unions exist to serve their members’ bottom lines, at the expense of the many. As a taxpayer working in the private sector, I will be glad to continue to pay a portion of my tax dollars for the benefit of civil servants, as long as those same civil servants are willing to help me when times are tough, as they are now, and accept that their pay and benefits need to be adjusted. Any refusal to do so puts us at odds. Michael Knodl Mount Laurel mknodl1030@aol.com

U.S. industrial output up again; prices also rise By Jeannine Aversa ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Industrial production rose in December by the largest amount in five months, providing the economy with solid momentum heading into the new year. The announcement from the Federal Reserve was one of several key economic reports released Friday by the government. Among the others: 8 Consumer prices nationwide rose 0.5 percent last month compared with November, the largest increase in 18 months and a reflection of rising gas prices, the Labor Department said. The bulk of the increase came from rising energy costs. In the Philadelphia area, consumer prices fell 0.2 percent in the November-December period. For the local area, the department measures inflation in twomonth periods. 8 Retail sales rose by 0.6 percent in December to $381 billion — a sixth consecutive monthly gain, the Commerce Department said. The biggest increases were in autos and furniture. Sales are 13.5 percent above the recession

Spending by consumers during the 2010 November-December holiday period reached the highest on record, but that news isn’t as good as it sounds. The $462 billion in holiday spending reported by a trade group Friday handily tops the $453 billion peak reached in 2007, before the economy took a nosedive. Take a closer look, though, and you’ll find these figures don’t tell the whole story. Just because Americans spent more this holiday season doesn’t mean they bought more. A buttondown shirt you bought your father in 2010 probably cost more than it would have three years ago. The government figures on which the National Retail Federation based its holiday total do not take into account rising prices. Although inflation has been tame over the last few years, holiday spending would have had to clear $478 billion to signify spending was back to prerecession levels. Also, the U.S. population has grown by eight million people since the previous record was set. That means there were millions more shoppers in stores during the recent holidays, driving up the See SALES on A11

Plan is reached to end taxpayers’ role in AIG By Pallavi Gogoi ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The government and AIG, the giant insurer rescued with $182 billion in federal funds at the depths of the 2008 financial meltdown, announced a plan Friday to end taxpayer involvement in the company within two years. As part of the plan, AIG paid back its $21 billion outstanding balance to the New York branch of the Federal Reserve. The Treasury Department swapped its preferred stock in AIG for common stock, giving the government a 92 percent stake in the company. The Treasury will begin unloading that stock on

the open market in March. “Treasury remains optimistic that taxpayers will get back every dollar of their investment in AIG,” Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a statement. In a separate statement, AIG’s president and chief executive officer, Robert H. Benmosche, said: “Today, AIG, with the support of countless people, has accomplished a huge goal that many people once thought impossible: completely repaying the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. … We have to stand on our own and meet the expectations of the marketplace.” The insurer will “demonstrate

through our actions going forward that we are worthy of investor confidence,” he said. The rescue package for American International Group Inc., which included loans and guarantees, was the largest of any U.S. company that accepted government help during the financial crisis that began in September 2008. The firm was unable to meet obligations on contracts that protected banks against losses on investments tied to subprime mortgages. The bailout was revised at least four times to make more funds available, lower interest payments, and give the company

additional time to sell assets. At the time, federal officials worried that a collapse of AIG, which worked with hundreds of financial institutions around the world, would be a death blow to credit markets and possibly bring down the financial system itself. The insurer became a touchstone for public outrage over excessive risk on Wall Street. Under the plan announced Friday, the government will sell its stock over two years as market conditions allow. The government holds roughly 1.67 billion shares of AIG now. See AIG on A11

Johnson & Johnson said Friday that it was recalling from wholesalers nearly 47 million packages of Tylenol, Sudafed, and other nonprescription drugs that were made in Fort Washington. The company said its own investigation showed that some equipment used in production was not cleaned properly, although it said it did not believe the drugs’ quality was affected. The Montgomery County plant, operated by J&J’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division, was voluntarily shut and children’s medications were recalled in April in response to a Food and Drug Administration report that said raw ingredients contaminated with bacteria had been used in some products. The FDA said it had found no evidence of bacteria in any finished products it tested. The recall announced Friday affects Tylenol 8-Hour, Arthritis, and upper-respiratory products, as well as certain lots of Benadryl, Sudafed PE, and Sinutab products distributed in the United States, Brazil, and the Caribbean, J&J, of New Brunswick, N.J., said. The action is being taken at the wholesale level and no action is required by consumers, the company said. The products were made in Fort Washington before April.

Earnings season officially began last week when aluminum company Alcoa beat analyst expectations on Monday. A handful of other companies announced their quarterly results later in the week. But reports really begin flooding in this week, with dozens of companies reporting. Earnings for large companies soared last year. Analysts expect profits to keep rising, but more modestly. That should still send stock prices higher.

U.S. investors were relieved last week when Portugal successfully auctioned $1.6 billion in bonds; calming concerns it might need a bailout. Wednesday, the country has another chance to earn the market’s conﬁdence. The debt-saddled country plans to sell 750 million euros worth of 12-month Treasurys in an attempt to avoid being rescued by the European Central Bank.

In the Region Bidder seeks to oust Tenet directors

Community Health Systems Inc., pressing a $3.3 billion hostile takeover bid for rival hospital operator Tenet Healthcare Corp., said it would nominate a full slate of 10 directors to Tenet’s board. Tenet’s hospitals in Philadelphia are Hahnemann University Hospital and St. Christopher’s for Children. “We believe that Community Health has nominated its slate of directors only to advance its goal of acquiring Tenet at an inadequate price,” Tenet said in a statement Friday. — Bloomberg News

Drug company to pay Pa. $5.2M

Pennsylvania has recovered $5.2 million in a settlement with an Illinois subsidiary of a Japanese drug company over alleged inflated drug prices charged to programs for the poor, the elderly, and state workers, the state Attorney General’s Office said. The settlement with TAP Pharmaceutical Products, now Takeda Pharmaceutical North America, includes $2.4 million for the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, $1.9 million for a program called Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly, or PACE, and nearly $1 million for the Pennsylvania Employees Benefit Trust Fund. Takeda Pharmaceutical North America, Deerfield, Ill., is a unit of Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. of Japan. — Reid Kanaley

Elsewhere Bank’s profit jumps 47 percent

JPMorgan Chase & Co. pleased investors

Investors see good news on banks By Matthew Craft and David K. Randall ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — JPMorgan Chase & Co. and other banks drove stock indexes higher Friday. The Dow Jones industrial average rose to its highest level in 21/2 years. JPMorgan rose 1 percent after reporting that its income soared 47 percent in the fourth quarter. The bank set aside less money to cover bad loans and said it expected to get permission from the Federal Reserve to raise its dividend. Wells Fargo & Co., Bank of America Corp., and other large banks also rose on hopes that they, too, would be able to raise dividends. Banks slashed their dividends during the financial crisis to conserve cash. Investors have been urging banks to raise their dividends now that many of them are making money again. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 55.48 points, or 0.5 percent, to 11,787.38. It was the highest close for the Dow since June 25, 2008. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 9.48, or 0.7 percent, to 1,293.24. The Nasdaq rose 20.01, or 0.7 percent, to 2,755.30. Gains were spread across the market. Consumer staples companies were the only one of the 10 sectors of the S&P 500 index to fall. Financial companies gained the most, 1.7 percent.

Johnson

Friday with news that it would raise its dividend soon, pending approval from the Federal Reserve. The bank, which has credit-card operations in Wilmington, also said its income jumped 47 percent in the final three months of 2010 as fewer customers defaulted on loans. The bank earned $4.83 billion, or $1.12 per share, as it set aside less money to cover loan losses. That compares with $3.28 billion, or 74 cents a share, during the same quarter last year. Analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast the bank would earn $1 per share. JPMorgan’s shares closed up 46 cents at $44.91. — AP

Regulators close small Ga. bank

Regulators on Friday shut down a small bank in Georgia, the third closure of 2011 after last year’s toll of 157 banks brought down by the weak economy and soured loans. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. took over Oglethorpe Bank, Brunswick, Ga., with $230.6 million in assets and $212.7 million in deposits. Bank of the Ozarks, Little Rock, agreed to assume the assets and deposits of the failed bank. Georgia has been one of the hardest-hit states for bank failures amid an avalanche of bad loans, especially for commercial real estate. Twenty-one banks were shuttered in the state last year. — AP

GM adds stock to pension plans

General Motors Co. has pumped an additional $2 billion into its underfunded U.S. pension plans by giving them 60.6 million shares of common stock. The contribution comes on top of $4 billion in cash that the Detroit company paid into the plans in December. The moves cut $6 billion off a $27.4 billion pension liability that was on the company’s books. As of Dec. 31, 2009, the U.S. salaried and hourly plans were $17.1 billion short of

their obligations, while GM’s non-U.S. pension plans were $10.3 billion short. The plans will be revalued as of the end of 2010. — AP

Treasury announces warrant auctions

The government said it would auction warrants it holds from Citigroup Inc. and two smaller banks in the first quarter of this year. It is the latest effort to recoup costs of the $700 billion financial bailout. The Treasury Department said it would conduct warrant auctions for Citigroup, Boston Private Financial Holdings Inc., and Wintrust Financial Corp. Sales of the warrants would sever the remaining ties the three companies have with the government’s financial-bailout fund. Treasury has said taxpayers would make at least a $12 billion profit on the government’s $45 billion bailout of Citigroup. The warrant sales this quarter will add to that total. — AP

Unions plan big campaign

Union leaders plan to launch a multimillion-dollar campaign to boost the image of government workers and fend off pay cuts and benefit rollbacks in states under fiscal siege. The scope of the effort signals a concern that unions could lose clout in states where the political climate has changed with Republicans in control in many legislatures. Pennsylvania is among the states where unions plan to focus. — AP

But as times got hard, the bank compressed its management structure. “I’ve worked 43 years,” said Mize, sitting in the cozy living room of her Downingtown home. “I’ve never been unemployed, I never had any time off, except vacations.” It seems odd to have no structure to her days, but she’s filling them with job hunting, connecting with bank colleagues, and finishing some home projects. Finances are tight, but her husband is working, so with his salary and her severance and unemployment benefits, she’s able to manage. “I’m just taking it one day at a time.” Contact staff writer Jane M.

IRS encourages whistle-blowers

The Internal Revenue Service proposed new rules Friday that are expected to jump-start a five-year-old whistle-blower program designed to entice people to turn in businesses or individuals trying to bilk the government out of $2 million or more in taxes. Under the old rules, whistle-blowers could get rewards only if their tips resulted in businesses or individuals paying additional taxes. The new rules would qualify whistle-blowers for rewards if their tips prevented businesses or individuals from claiming fraudulent tax refunds. — AP

Inventories post modest rise in Nov.

U.S. businesses added to their inventories for an 11th consecutive month in November as sales posted another strong increase. The Commerce Department says inventories rose just 0.2 percent in November, the smallest advance since a similar gain in May. Sales rose 1.2 percent in November after an even bigger 1.5 percent October increase. The November rise in inventories pushed them to $1.42 trillion, up 7.7 percent from the recent low of $1.32 trillion hit in September 2009. The smaller gain in inventories in November likely was affected by the strong sales pace, which can make it difficult for businesses to keep shelves stocked. Economists believe inventory rebuilding will continue as long as businesses have confidence that sales will improve. — AP

AIG Continued from A9 Those shares were handed over to taxpayers at a value of just under $30 apiece and closed Friday at $54, down $3.19. The two-year unwinding of the federal stake in the company is similar to an arrangement to end government involvement in General Motors Co., which returned to the stock market in 2010 after going through bankruptcy, and in Citigroup Inc. The Treasury sold $10.5 bil-

lion of Citigroup Inc. shares Dec. 6 and received $13.6 billion from a November offering of GM stock. AIG’s repayment plan is being paid for with proceeds from a series of asset sales. On Thursday it agreed to sell its nearly full ownership in the third-largest insurance company in Taiwan for about $2.2 billion. Last year, it sold an Asian life insurer for $35.5 billion. Besides repaying the U.S. government, AIG is restructuring itself to focus on its property, casualty, and life-insurance businesses and retirement services.

‘A breath of fresh air’

New Pa. inspector general has wide legal experience but is seen as apolitical. By John P. Martin

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

LAURENCE KESTERSON / Staff Photographer

Kenya Mann Faulkner, a former prosecutor who lives in Ambler, will begin her new job Wednesday.

Kenya Mann Faulkner was a vocational high school student in New York City when she confessed a secret to a guidance counselor: She wanted to go to college, maybe even become a lawyer. “That’s not going to happen for you,” the counselor told her, according to Faulkner. The woman instead suggested stenography courses. In the ensuing three decades, Faulkner not only collected her law de-

gree, but climbed the ladder from Philadelphia public defender to assistant state attorney general and, later, federal prosecutor. Last week, Gov.-elect Tom Corbett named her state inspector general. In doing so, he handed the 44-year-old Montgomery County resident an office tasked with rooting out government waste and corruption — but one that, despite a $2.5 million budget and nearly 400 employees, has stayed in the shadows. In its last annual report posted online,

for 2008-09, the office said it had completed 145 background investigations, and had identified 18 cases in which state workers abused work hours and 21 in which they misused state equipment or cars. “I had never heard of this agency until she told me about it,” said Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman, a friend of Faulkner’s. Ferman added: “I don’t think that’s going to be the case a year from now.” See FAULKNER on B4

Police string crime-scene tape at the 46th Street Market-Frankford El station, where the fight broke out. Officials from West Philadelphia

Catholic High School and Boys Latin of Philadelphia Charter School put students on notice that further violence would not be tolerated.

6 boys hurt in knife brawl Officials said students from West Catholic and Boys Latin got into a fight over a girl at an El station. Tensions have grown all week. By Martha Woodall, Vernon Clark, and Troy Graham INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS

Of six students taken to hospitals with knife wounds after an interschool rumble at a Market-Frankford El stop Friday morning, five are college-bound seniors from Boys Latin of Philadelphia Charter School. The sixth is a West Philadelphia Catholic High School junior suspected of stabbing them. Though no charges have been filed, he is likely bound for a date with the court system. In the aftermath, both West Philadelphia schools held assemblies in the hope of preventing more violence. At one, David P. Hardy, founder and chief executive officer of Boys Latin, put about 200 juniors and seniors on notice. “Anyone at this school who retaliates will be expelled. This is over,” he said. “Think about your future. … You don’t want to throw that away.” At West Catholic, school president Brother Timothy Ahern and principal Sister Mary Bur said they met with students “to remind them that even when school is not in session, they represent West Catholic.” The brawl came on the heels of another fight Thursday morning on the westbound platform at the 15th Street station of the Market-Frankford Line. The two groups had been taunting each other there since Monday. Po-

SEPTA police responded to Thursday’s incident, which began with one student from each school and grew as others joined in, Hardy said. Both schools draw from across the city, and 15th Street is a busy location for transferring to the MarketFrankford Line. The resumption of hostilities Friday

morning may have been spurred partly by threats on Facebook “saying they were going to get Boys Latin,” Hardy said. “Our guys were doing it, too,” he said as he commanded his upperclassmen Friday to “stay off Facebook.” Hoping to prevent trouble, Hardy and Maurice Watson, the school’s disciplinariSee FIGHT on B2

The weekend before he was killed, Bucks County airline pilot Michael Burklund traveled to New York to meet, for the first time, about 10 other members of an online support group he had joined. The group’s common thread: spouses or ex-spouses with

mental-health issues. After hearing about Burklund’s estranged wife, Dorleen, “I begged him not to return” to his Kintnersville home, Angela Clarkson, an Ohio woman who attended the gathering, said Friday in an interview. “He didn’t really express concerns,” added Jeff Bishop, a North Carolina man who also was there. “But he told some stories that had some of us concerned.” At 3 p.m. Oct. 3 — eight days after the New York trip — state police were called to the Burklunds’ home on Mink

Road in Springfield Township. In the master bedroom upstairs, Michael Burklund, 46, lay face-down on the floor, his body riddled with eight bullet wounds. Dorleen Burklund sat on the front porch. “I shot him,” she volunteered, according to Trooper Edward Theodore, who testified Friday at a preliminary hearing. She directed Theodore not only to the body, but to a stillloaded Smith & Wesson revolver on the kitchen counter. That was the extent of the tesSee WIFE on B4

Judge: Expedia doesn’t owe city unpaid tax The ruling has cost the Nutter administration about $1 million. By Marcia Gelbart

Held in death of her husband Before he was killed, he frightened members of a support group with what he described.

City Councilwoman Donna Reed Miller will not seek reelection in the Eighth District this fall, leaving a wide-open contest to represent a string of neighborhoods from North Philadelphia to Chestnut Hill. Miller, 64, made the announcement Friday morning after weeks of speculation that she had neither the financial support nor the enthusiasm to seek a fifth term. “It is time to give another person the opportunity to represent this wonderful district,” Miller said in a news release. “I never believed this position to be a lifetime job, and though I know I have the political and physical ability to serve, it is the right time for me to move into another type of public service.” Miller, who has diabetes-related problems, was first elected Councilwoman in 1995 as a protege of Donna Reed Miller State Rep.

Miller has a mixed record representing a district largely divided between the poorer neighborhoods of Germantown, Logan, Nicetown, and Tioga, and the affluent neighborhoods of Mount Airy and Chestnut Hill. Her tenure has been marred twice by convictions of staffers on federal corruption charges. In 2008, former aide Theresa Pinkett pleaded guilty to bribery. In 2005, Steven Vaughn, Miller’s chief of staff, was convicted in a scheme to generate a $60,000 collection fee for a company owned by Muslim cleric Shamsud-din Ali. See MILLER on B4

Dorleen Burklund, 49, accused of

fatally shooting her estranged husband, is escorted from court.

The cash-strapped Nutter administration is out $1 million after a Common Pleas Court judge ruled Friday that it had no authority to collect unpaid hotel taxes from the online travel agency Expedia. For now, the ruling means the city’s hotel tax revenues — which promote tourism and help fund operations at the Convention Center — will be less than officials had hoped. The city collected $39.5 million in hotel-related taxes during the last fiscal year. The additional revenue was viewed as critical because the center’s operating expenses are about to balloon as it doubles in size. The expanded Convention Center will open in March. The city filed suit five years ago against Expedia and 16 other online travel services, saying they should pay hotel taxes based on the room rates actually paid by guests and not the discounted room prices charged to See EXPEDIA on B7

A deal in Alycia Lane case Columnist Dan Gross settled and is no longer named in the former anchor’s lawsuit. By Carolyn Davis

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Philadelphia Daily News gossip columnist Dan Gross has been dropped as a defendant from a civil lawsuit brought by former CBS3 anchor Alycia Lane after they agreed to a settlement. Common Pleas Court Judge Howland W. Abramson signed an order Tuesday dismissing Lane’s claims against Gross in a suit that also names her former CBS3 coanchor Larry Mendte and others as defendants. Gross “was named because he was used as one of the vehicles for Mr. Mendte’s unlawful invasion of her privacy,” said Lane’s attorney, Paul Rosen, of the Center City law firm Spector Gadon & Rosen. “Of course, we were pleased with the settlement, and it made a nice Christmas present for Alycia Lane.” Gross said Friday, “While I am confident I would have been vindicated had the case gone to trial, as I did nothing wrong, I am glad that a settle-

Lawyers for Gross and Lane declined to discuss the terms of the confidential settlement. Rosen said he expected that Gross would testify at the trial. Also originally named in the lawsuit was Philadelphia Media Holdings, which at the time owned the Daily News as well as The Inquirer and Philly.com.

Watson rode the El with an early group of 20 to 30 Boys Latin students to their stop at 52d Street. Hardy said he and SEPTA officers put a “small group of stragglers” on a later train. Hardy then began driving to school. The later group, of about a dozen Boys Latin students, got off at 46th Street, where a number of West Catholic students apparently were waiting for them. “They should have stayed on the El,” Hardy said. “We are going to have a serious discussion.” Witnesses said the melee again started with two students and quickly grew into five battles. “At first I thought they were playing,” said Brian Pugh, who runs a CD stand at 46th and Market Street. But then one combatant slammed his opponent into a car, and other fights broke out. “This is not good,” Pugh said he thought to himself. At some point, the West Catholic junior, who has not been identified, pulled a blade. Police have not recovered it, but said it could be some sort of utility knife. After the fight broke up, the Boys Latin students got back onto the El and went to 52d Street. At least one student called ahead to Watson, who met the group and drove four students to Mercy Philadelphia Hospital. A fifth student later realized he had been cut and went to Mercy. A sixth student, a sophomore, broke or dislocated a finger in the fight, and was returned to class with a splint, Hardy said. The most seriously injured, Reginald Carter, a senior who just turned 19, was stabbed in the left thigh, the left side, and twice in the back. He was

News in Brief Man is fatally shot in Northeast Phila. A 20-year-old man was fatally shot Friday night in Northeast Philadelphia, police said. The man, whose name was not released, was shot once in the abdomen around 8:50 p.m. in the area of Frankford and Devereaux Avenues, said Officer Jillian Russell. The victim was pronounced dead at 9:06 at Temple University Hospital. A suspect was later arrested. — Robert Moran

Candlelight vigil held at site of fatal fire Dozens of people stood for hours in the bitter cold Friday, wiping away tears and whispering prayers, during a candlelight vigil in front of the charred remains of a Feltonville rowhouse where a woman and her three children died early Thursday. Rasheedah Wilson and her children, Jamar Nobles, 14; Minyan Wilson, 11; and Shanai Patter, 8, died when the fire consumed the inside of their home on Palethorp Street within minutes. Wilson, 33, was a block captain, known on her narrow street for organizing block parties for the neighborhood children and encouraging residents to do weekly cleanups. “It’s crushed my spirit. I can’t sleep at all,” said Steven Washington, who lived a few doors from Wilson. “Her son was friends with my son. He used to stay at my house all the time, come on vacations with us. It’s just devastating all around.” — David Gambacorta

Two men shot in North Philadelphia Two men were shot late Friday night and taken to Temple University Hospital, police said. The shooting occurred in 1100 block of Roy Street in North Philadelphia, not far from the hospital. A 21-year-old man was in stable condition with a gunshot wound to one leg, police said. A 22-year-old man was in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds. Police did not release the victims’ names. — Inquirer staff

Five charged with ‘skimmer’ fraud using ATMs Five men have been arrested and charged with stealing $145,923.32 from the bank accounts of 143 customers using an electronic “skimmer,” officials said Friday. The skimmers were secretly placed over the card slots of ATMs in Lower Providence, Springfield and Lower Merion Townships in Montgomery County, and West Whiteland Township in Chester County. The devices read electronic data on ATM cards, said Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman. When combined with the card’s PIN, the information can be used to create fake cards that can be used by thieves. The thefts between Oct. 1 and Dec. 23 surfaced when customers reported funds missing from their accounts. Police discovered that ATMs at several Citizens and Wachovia Bank branches had been compromised. Withdrawals were made at ATMs throughout the region. No money was recovered. The accused were identified as Dimitar Tanchev, 28, and Ismail Misankov, 31, both of Chicago; Dimcho Vasilev, 30, of Atlantic City; Krasimir Uzunov, 47, of Egg Harbor, N.J.; and Dragomir Lipov, 26, of Schaumberg, Ill. All were being held at the Montgomery County prison on $250,000 cash bail for a hearing Jan. 19. They are charged with theft and related offenses. — Bonnie L. Cook

Castille calls on lawyers to offer pro bono aid HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s chief justice said Friday that he wanted the state’s 70,000 lawyers to pitch in to address a crisis in the legal aid system regarding civil matters. Ronald D. Castille released a letter that he sent Jan. 7 asking every lawyer to take on at least one new pro bono matter or continue to volunteer through a legal aid provider or other organized program. “The need for help among the poor to access justice is so significant that the legal community cannot wait for the funding deficiencies to be remedied,” Castille said. He said that the economic downturn appeared to have increased demand for such services, but that about half the people who show up at legal aid offices and qualify for assistance are turned down because there are not enough resources. — AP

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Camden County proposes regionalizing police force Firefighting would become a county service, too, in a cost-cutting bid. Questions are being asked. By James Osborne

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Camden County formally announced a proposal Friday to create a regionalized police and fire force, drawing skepticism and pointed questions from local law enforcement officials. Some questioned: Would police end up spending all their time in Camden at the suburbs’ expense? Would towns pay for police services based on their crime rates, their population, or some other measure? Would such a force create enough savings to offset the significant state funding cuts to municipalities in the last year? “The state is making it harder with their budget cuts. I don’t know what the solution is, but we can’t rush to judgment to try to solve this,” said Magnolia Police Chief Robert Doyle, president of the Camden County Police Chiefs Association. “I’m not opposed to this, but we need to make sure this is the right thing to do.” While short on details, the plan, introduced Friday by Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli Jr., would create a county police force and fire department within six months. Interested towns could disband their departments, and displaced police officers and firefighters could apply to the county force, which would take over duties in the municipalities. A few towns have expressed interest, Cappelli said. He expects the force would be rolled out over a number of years. “There’s a potential for more officers on the street and less administration,” he said. “There’s over 30 police chiefs in Camden County, dozens of school superintendents

The thing that tends to stop it is, local governments don’t want to give up autonomy.” Camden County’s announcement comes just days before Camden City is set to lay off up to half of its police force and one-third of its firefighters. The county maintained that there was no connection, but some local officials questioned whether the proposal was an attempt to spread the high cost of policing Camden across the suburbs. “I’d have to question the timing and why this statement was released to the media,” Doyle said. A number of local politicians took a wait-and-see approach, and many said they had not been consulted and would need to examine the details before making a decision. An e-mail sent by Cappelli to mayors Thursday, ahead of a story Friday in the Camden Courier-Post, read: “You may be contacted by reporters for your thoughts and comments.

spent four days interviewing witnesses in Moldova with attorney Mark Geragos, who represented the defendant. Geragos was impressed. He said Faulkner’s experience as a prosecutor and a defense attorney gave her perspective many lawyers lack. “She’s very tenacious,” he said, “but at the same time, she’s got a soft side to her.” Faulkner left the prosecutor’s office for a job at the Philadelphia law firm Ballard Spahr L.L.P., but she didn’t leave public service. Mayor Nutter asked her to serve on the city’s Ethics Board, a role that challenged her unlike any other. Last March, City Council members publicly grilled her, then shelved a vote to reconfirm her, complaining about a prosecutorial or “gotcha” mentality. Faulkner was reluctant to discuss her tenure there, but defended her record. “At the end of the day, you do what you think is right, and that’s what I tried to do,” said Faulkner, who resigned her seat in June for health rea-

sons. “I wouldn’t change a decision I made on that board.” Councilman Bill Green, one of her interrogators in March, was hesitant to revisit the past. “I think she did an honorable job on the Ethics Board and I’m sure she’ll make a great inspector general,” Green said. “And I hope she finds a whole lot of waste, fraud, and abuse — because we need the money.” Faulkner starts her new job Wednesday. She said she and her husband, former Cheyney University football coach Kevin Faulkner, have not decided if they will trade their Ambler home for one in Harrisburg. First, she wants to familiarize herself with the office. She hasn’t talked extensively with Corbett about the new post, but expects they’ll see things the same way. “My impression is that he’s going to let me do my job,” she said.

down of unions’ minority makeup. She largely lost that battle, as the two most powerful unions — the carpenters and electricians — refused to make their numbers public. But working with the Convention Center Authority board of directors, Miller may have won the war. The authority has met or exceeded its minority inclusion goals, said William Nesheiwat, Miller’s legislative director. The experience showed that “if the owner of the project is on board, then we’ll succeed,” Nesheiwat said. Miller has managed to win reelection in part because her critics consistently split the Democratic vote. In 2007, she won the primary against three competitors with just over 30 percent of the vote. “She is awesome in the street,” former Mayor John F. Street, a political ally, said of her political acumen. “The people in her part of the district practically worship the ground she walks” on. Of Miller’s three challengers in 2007, Cindy Bass, a policy adviser to U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D., Pa.), has committed to run for the seat. Former ward leader Greg Paulmier said he’s in, and Legal Services lawyer Irv Ackelsberg said he would announce his intentions soon. They will have competition from Verna Tyner, a community leader in Tioga and former aide to Council members David Cohen and Bill Greenlee, and Andrew Lofton, a Mount Airy native making his first run for office. Also expressing interest are Latrice Byrant, aide to Councilman W. Wilson Goode Jr., and Derek Green, legislative counsel to Majority Leader Marian B.

Tasco. Miller will keep her seat as leader of the 59th Ward in Germantown. She said she would endorse a candidate for the primary. Miller came into office as an underdog in 1995, unseating Alvin Stewart, who won a special election in 1994 to fill the term of Herbert DeBeary, who died in office. Stewart remains a ward leader in the district. Miller was scheduled to retire in January as a participant in the city’s Deferred Retirement Option Plan. A number of her colleagues, however, are expected to take their lumpsum DROP payments and return to work if reelected. She had done little fundraising, and had only $12,000 in her account, according to a campaign-finance report. By all accounts, Miller was not looking forward to a campaign in which she would be maligned for taking a $195,782 DROP payment. Her decision leaves at least three of 17 Council seats open in the 2011 elections, with Democrat Joan Krajewski out and Republican Jack Kelly almost certainly headed for retirement. Miller, in her release, said she had never planned to be a politician while working for Richardson, a pioneer of the city’s black political movement. “Though we have made great progress, Dave and others still would not be satisfied,” Miller said. “I can only hope my successor will learn the lessons of the past as they chart our course in the future.”

Continued from B1 And the community development corporation Miller was most closely associated with, Germantown Settlement, went bankrupt and was dissolved in December after spending millions of taxpayer dollars on failed projects. Though sometimes targeted by critics as a weak link on Council, the soft-spoken Miller has taken on issues dear to some of her constituents — from public safety to prisoner reentry and minority hiring. She paired with Councilman Darrell L. Clarke in 2007 and 2009 on a host of laws regulating gun ownership, three of which survived court challenges. One requires the reporting of lost and stolen handguns, another prohibits gun ownership for anyone under a domestic-violence restraining order, and the third restricts ownership of firearms for those decreed a danger to community. In December, Miller presided over hearings on allegations of police misconduct, offering the public a chance to comment publicly on police issues. “As mayor, it has always been clear that Councilwoman Miller worked hard and cared passionately about her constituents,” Mayor Nutter was quoted as saying in Miller’s release. Miller took on her most visible role in a 2007 face-off with the building trades unions over minority hiring, when Council threatened to withhold approval for the $786 million Convention Center expansion without a public break-

IN THE NATION AND THE WORLD Corazon Aquino and awards Ellen Stewart from the Emperor of Japan N.Y. theater pioneer, 91

Ellen Stewart, 91, the founder and director of the Off-Off-Broadway pioneering group La MaMa Experimental Theater Club, died Thursday at New York’s Beth Israel Hospital after an extended illness, said Mia Yoo, the theater’s artistic codirector. During Ms. Stewart’s 49-year tenure, La MaMa presented about 3,000 productions, hosted artists from more than 70 countries, and earned countless cultural awards. She was the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” in 1985 and a 2006 Tony Honor for Excellence in Theater. “She was extremely nurturing to young theatrical talent and also very open to new ideas and inventive theater,” said Brenda Smiley, an actress, writer and journalist who worked with Ms. Stewart and remained close. “She allowed people to go beyond and to break barriers in a lot of ways.” Ms. Stewart, who was born in Chicago, began her career in New York as a fashion designer and started La MaMa in 1961 when she rented a tiny basement in Lower Manhattan for $55 a month to provide her brother and his playwright friends with a space to showcase their plays. Since she was already nicknamed “Mama,” one of her actors suggested La MaMa as the name for her theater. La MaMa moved several times and took up residence in its current space on East Fourth Street in 1969. In 1974, the company acquired a second space, The Annex, down the street. In November 2009, on the occasion of Ms. Stewart’s 90th birthday, The Annex was officially renamed the Ellen Stewart Theatre. Theater spokesman Sam Rudy said that Ms. Stewart was instrumental in introducing to American audiences some of the world’s most influential artists, including Andrei Serban, Tom O’Horgan, Sam Shepard, Lanford Wilson, Harvey Fierstein, Maria Irene Fornes, Tom Eyen, Jean Claude van Itallie, and countless others. Ms. Stewart received the Human Rights Award of the Philippines from President

tax based on the discounted rate. A spokesperson for Expedia could not be immediately reached. Andrew Weinstein of the Interactive Travel Services Association, which represents the online travel industry, said, “This verdict adds another major stone to the large and growing foundation of legal decisions at every level that online travel companies are not hotels and thus should not be liable for hotel occupancy taxes.” Nationally, he said, 12 of 14 recent court decisions have been in favor of the online travel companies. City Solicitor Shelley Smith declined to comment Friday, saying she was unaware of the judge’s ruling and “so we’ve not had an opportunity to review the decision.” The city must decide whether it wants to appeal to Commonwealth Court. Philadelphia hoteliers were quick to voice their displeasure. “I think it’s unfair that my members pay a tax on the full amount of a night stay [in a booked room] while an online booking agent, like Expedia, does not,” said Ed Grose, head of the Greater Philadelphia Hotel Association, which represents 87 hotels, including 44 in Center City. For example, Grose said, Expedia will buy a hotel room for $80 a night and sell it for $130, but the tax is paid on only the original $80. “The hotel tax funds the expansion of the Convention Center and our two marketing agencies, the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau” and the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corp., he said. “And with budget cuts, this hurts them as well.” Contact staff writer Marcia Gelbart at 215-854-2338 or mgelbart@phillynews.com.

CBS: Sheen knows our ‘level of concern’ Inquirer television critic Jonathan Storm is reporting this week from the television critics’ press tour in Pasadena, Calif. These items are taken from his blog, “Eye of the Storm,” at www.philly.com/philly/blogs/storm.

BS Entertainment president Nina Tassler expressed “personal concern” Friday about the network’s biggest star, Two and a Half Men’s Charlie Sheen, and his continuing drugaddled exploits.

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s right leg was amputated Friday in an operation that doctors said was necessary to save her life. Gabor, who turns 94 on Feb. 6, was being watched carefully, but there were no complications, doctors at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles said. “The surgery today went well,” said David Rigberg, associate professor of vascular surgery. “However, she is in frail health, so we will continue to monitor her closely.” Gabor broke her hip and had replacement surgery in July. She has been hospitalized several times since.

Happy Birthday This year, you move in a new direction because you feel more innovative. You also will want to spend more money on yourself, and you probably need to. Don’t avoid the doctor or certain necessities that make you feel better. Often, misunderstandings start out of nowhere. Be willing to confirm what you hear, as well as meetings. Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ Finally, you experience a day without obligations. Why not go out? Visit with a neighbor or a missed friend. You find out how sorely missed you were, too. Take off for a movie, flea market or whatever makes you happy. Tonight: Dinner and visiting with friends. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ You might notice that you are tired and on a slow downhill slump. You do for everyone else, why not do for you? Schedule a massage, take a snooze or just become a couch potato. The theme is “indulge yourself.” News from a distance causes reflection. Tonight: Continue the take-care-of-me theme. Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ You see many people and situations differently. Your ability to flex and empathize helps you walk in another person’s shoes. You could feel slightly ill at ease with another person. Don’t worry, as you will figure this issue out soon enough. Tonight: All grins. Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ Step back out of the limelight for a while. Much-needed personal time might be nec-

essary. A partner could be extremely difficult and touchy. You know what needs to be done, but you want to be in agreement with this person. Give the situation space. Tonight: Not to be found. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ You are like coffee percolating. You have lots of energy, but your direction might be unclear. Make plans to join friends for racquetball or some other favorite pastime. Take advantage of the weekend and more free time for people in general. Tonight: You are the party. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Check in with an older friend or relative. You can be sure someone needs an extra push. You are more in tune with the possibilities, especially as you have an excess of energy. Use it well, understanding you, too, have limits. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ Reach out for a loved one at a distance. You could be tired and exhausted, more than you are aware. Detach, and you might recharge. You know best what form of relaxation works for you. Tonight: Let your mind roam. Go for something different. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ Deal with others on a one-on-one level. Make time for a special person; nothing replaces your attention. Be willing to change plans at the drop of a hat. Make yourself available. Tonight: Chat over a cozy dinner.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Listen to what is being shared. You might learn a lot. Don’t respond immediately. Give yourself time to mull over what you hear. Your sense of humor saves the day in a heavy conversation. Tonight: Avoid overindulging. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Finally, you have some time. Invite a loved one along, only if you want to. Question a need to drop some cold water on another person. You want this person to be realistic. This might or might not work. Tonight: Slow down, if you are tired. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ Mars, the planet of energy, enters your sign. Get ready, world, as you become a ball of fire. You could become a terror if you are frustrated. The damages might not be reversible. Use care. Tonight: Be naughty, as only you can be. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Imagine what it is like to spend an easy day without pressure. Do you like the idea? Then make it so. You alone can create this type of happening. Whatever you decide, choose your company with care. Tonight: Play it low-key.

1st thing new mom needs is sleep Question: At the moment, most of my life is a shambles. My husband of 16 years has been unemployed for 2 1 / 2 years. We had a baby this year, never dreaming when we got pregnant that he would still be unemployed. We’ve just moved in with his mother, who is 83 and deaf as a rock, forcing me to yell to have a simple conversation and leaving me unable to sleep more than a few hours at a stretch until her blasting TV wakes me up. (She won’t consider a hearing aid, because “they’re a waste of money and don’t work.”) I’m dissatisfied with my job (although thankful I have one) and looking for an opportunity to move on. The one bright spot is my daughter, who is my joy and passion. However, I went through quite a trauma during her delivery, spending two weeks in the hospital, and I haven’t quite gotten back to myself. I’m venting a lot at my husband, who already blames himself and is being treated for depression. I make sure I apologize, but I am mad at him and tired of

being mad at him. I’ve told him this. People keep asking how I’m doing and adjusting to all the changes. I try to minimize or put a humorous spin on my angst, but really I’m just tired of dealing with it all. I want to curl up someplace calm and quiet with my girl and ignore the rest of the world. I plan on bringing this up with my doctor, but I was wondering if you had any advice before then. Answer: As I read your question, I was looking for the terrible, and what I saw was mostly the annoying and stressful — which is good news. Your husband’s unemployment is, of course, the linchpin, and you’re both understandably going to feel stressed unless and until there’s some resolution there. However, you have shelter, you have your income, you have each other, you have your beautiful baby, you have at least the promise that your health will return in due time. Put all that together, and the most terrible thing I see is that you’re not sleeping.

That one area of deprivation has the power to drain you of the resources you need to deal with the other stresses and annoyances, be it showing patience with your mother-in-law, taking the long view with your job, being supportive of your husband, healing from childbirth, everything. Please direct the energy you have — or, better, some of the energy your husband wishes he were taking to work every day — and address the blaring-TV problem. Earplugs, headphones, changing rooms, soundproofing, white noise, a timer for the TV? Brainstorm till something works, then sleep, then think more clearly about your circumstances. The unemployment issue may seem like it’s just about finding work, but it also means your husband has time, and time means opportunity. For what? That’s the question you want to answer, when you’re rested and ready to.

British Shows

Continued from C1 of three scripted shows this season remade from British hits. (BBC America says the original will return for its third season in the near, yetto-be-announced future.) The teen sex-drugs-’n’iPod dramedy Skins, premiering Monday on MTV, and Showtime’s superb William H. Macy-powered Shameless, which premiered Sunday, were also spun out of gold first minted across the pond. Which brings us to the eternal question: Why remake them, if the original shows are so good? (They are.) “I think the new version will reach a much, much bigTelevision ger audience,” says Rob Pursey, Being producHuman executive er of both ver9 p.m. sions of Being Monday Human. “That on Syfy was Syfy’s prerogative.” Translation: It’s easier to spend millions on a new show than to convince more Americans they won’t contract a deadly disease if they watch people with British accents. Pursey, a Brit whose previous TV credits include The Vice and Murderland, says Being Human screams for a new audience because it “breaks free of the standard genre constraints. It’s more ambitious than a straightforward horror piece.” Pursey adds that Being Human attracts a marketer’s dream demographic, “a fairly younger, slightly more adventurous audience — including women.” The transition from British to American TV isn’t so easy: Witness 2003’s Coupling, NBC’s disastrous attempt to clone a racy sitcom by making a slavish, sceneby-scene copy. The key to success is creative re-creation, says Jeremy Carver, who translated Being Human for domestic consumption with creative partner, wife, and fellow executive producer Anna Fricke. Carver points out that the first season of the British show had only six one-hour episodes, while they have 13 43-minute episodes to play with for Syfy. “I don’t see it as making a better version or an American version, I see it as expanding on a great idea,” he says. Fricke continues his thought. “We decided to expand on the characters’ backstory,” she says. “We had a lot of what-ifs: ‘What would this person look like 20 years ago — heck, 100 years ago?’ ”, in the case of the vampire. A recurrent problem is the anxiety of influence: how to make a fresh show, yet stay faithful to the original without copying it. Rath, who plays Sally the ghost on Syfy’s version, says she watched only two episodes of the original. “I was worried that [British actor Lenora Crichlow’s] performance might rub off on me,” she says. “I watched it to get a sense of the tone … how dark it was and how the humor played off the horror.” Carver and Fricke were concerned that the show’s darkness and its thematic edge might be lost in translation. “There’s an appetite, whether it be in Americans themselves or the network executives who want to please them, to go slightly less dark,” says Carver. “We wanted to make sure that we kept it as edgy as possible,” Fricke chimes in. “British humor pushes the envelope more, and it’s certainly darker.” Being Human, the couple say, can’t have a happy ending. “There is a lot of joy and humanity in the show,” says Fricke, “but ultimately they never really will have a normal life. They’ll never be human.” Not reassuring for an audience used to tidy endings, says Pursey. “Americans are more hungry for closure,” he says. “And I’ve made a career out of avoiding it.” Contact staff writer Tirdad Derakhshani at 215-854-2736 or tirdad@phillynews.com.

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Dave on Demand Continued from C1 YouTube sensation with 6 million hits. A few days later he’s the man in the media spotlight. Equipped with a cell phone, a new wardrobe, a grooming makeover, and a pocketful of job offers, he is flown to New York for a whirlwind series of TV interviews, from The Early Show to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. There’s a tearful reunion with his mother (on-air, naturally). Williams tells her he’s been sober for two years after discovering God. She doesn’t look convinced. Then it’s on to Hollywood, where the wheels start to come off. TMZ reports that Williams’ rap sheet goes back 20 years, with arrests for (among other crimes) theft, robbery, and drug possession. The Hollywood police are called to a ritzy hotel where Williams is engaged in a loud late-night argument with his estranged daughter, who declares he’s been drinking heavily every night. Williams appears on Dr. Phil for three consecutive days (which is the equivalent of five years of regular therapy). On the second day, there’s an understandably tes-

ty reunion with the wife he abandoned and six of his nine children. On the third day, he agrees to check into rehab. By the time he emerges from treatment, the circus will have moved on. I know this because the next morning, Today followed a piece on Williams’ rapid rise and fall with a feature on the latest YouTube fixation: a cross-eyed possum. Hello, you cute little critter. What deep, dark secrets are lurking in your closet?

Dressed for success. No wonder the BCS Championship game this week on ESPN set records for cable viewership. It was a thriller. The most exciting national championship since Texas nipped Southern Cal in 2006. Auburn came out on top on the scoreboard on Monday, but I still think Oregon should have taken home the trophy. Did you see the Ducks with their nifty patterned helmets and unis, set off with seafoam green socks? Don’t style points count for anything?

Winkler, who played him, still skis speedily along. “I live by two words,” he said. “Tenacity and gratitude.” “I’m the living evidence of that little needlepoint pillow that says ‘When it rains, it pours,’ ” he told me at breakfast. USA Network put out an unusual spread for critics who are sometimes lucky to get a stale croissant. I had bagels and really good lox. And Winkler, 65, sat down to chat. He’s on Comedy Central’s crazy new Sunday-night live-action comedy, Children’s Hospital. He has finished the 17th volume in his Hank Zipzer children’s book series, A BrandNew Me! His photo book I’ve Never Met an Idiot on the River, a compilation of shots he has taken on fishing trips, comes out in June from Insight Editions. And he got his episode order on USA’s Royal Pains upped from five to 11. Pains, a diverting light drama about a concierge doctor in the Hamptons, returns Jan. 20. For its first two seasons it was a summer show. The fancy photo work made each episode seem like a vacation. Winkler, describing the show as “a big, blue-sky entertainment,” thinks it might play better in winter. “People stuck inside in the cold and snow will want to get the warmer climate.” Winkler is the sleazy father of the central character, Dr. Hank Lawson, played by Mark Feuerstein. “He’s not sleazy,” said Feuerstein, who sat down a few minutes later. “He’s a deadbeat dad.” I gave him my incredulous face, very famous out here at the press tour. He broke quickly: “OK, borderline sleazy.” Before he got to describing Winkler’s character, Feuerstein talked about what a pleasure it was to work with the guy. “It’s a personal joy. He’s sweet, loving, warm, and upbeat.” “I’m touched that you think that,” Winkler said. The press tour drips with exaggeration, but there was no incredulous face from me accompanying either comment. A quick breakfast had turned into an unusual, delightful conversation with the stars. Contact television critic Jonathan Storm at 215-854-5618 or jstorm@phillynews.com.

The Flyers’ Danny Briere exults after scoring the go-ahead goal against the Thrashers with 7 minutes, 12 seconds left.

JOHN BAZEMORE / Associated Press

ATLANTA — Danny Briere continues to show the hockey world he was the best forward not selected for the All-Star Game. Briere scored with 7 minutes, 12 seconds remaining Friday night, sparking the Flyers to a 5-2 win over Atlanta at the sparsely filled Philips Arena. With the score tied, 2-2, Scott Hartnell’s drive was tipped by Ville Leino to Briere, who was a few feet

to his right. Goalie Ondrej Pavelec had to defend against Leino, so Briere was able to knock the puck into the empty net for his 24th goal — tied for fifth in the NHL. “I knew we were there alone, and I was just trying to stop the puck, and it worked out perfectly and went right to Danny,” Leino said. “Scotty just tried to put it on net, and both me and Ville kind of snuck behind their defenseman,” said Briere, who thought his line had a “so-

so game” until late in the final period. “It was a nice redirection by Ville, backdoor to me. He knew I was waiting there.” The diminutive center has 11 points — six goals and five assists — in his last six games. Briere’s line has combined for a staggering 17 goals and 16 assists in the last nine games. Claude Giroux snapped a 10-game goal-less streak by adding an insurSee FLYERS on E3

Williams adjusted to defenders short and tall to spark 76ers’ win. By Marc Narducci

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Lou Williams went from extremes, at times shooting over the shortest player in the NBA and at others having to navigate around 6-foot-6 John Salmons. His big shot over the bigger defender was the difference in the 76ers’ 95-94 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

Williams drilled a three-pointer with 43.8 seconds remaining to give the Sixers the 95-94 lead. He finished with a game-high 25 points, many scored against 5-foot-5 spark plug Earl Boykins. But the crucial basket came against Salmons, the former Sixer and Plymouth Whitemarsh High graduate. “It’s tough — you go from one extreme to the other,” Williams said. “You go from Earl Boykins to Johnny Salmons, and

Independence take 2d chance on Farrell The defender was selected last year, but declined. This year’s top pick: Haverford’s Sinead Farrelly. By Kate Harman FOR THE INQUIRER

By Steven Miller FOR THE INQUIRER

SOMERSET, N.J. — Marvadene Anderson has received the same looks her entire life — stares and double takes whenever she takes the basketball court, just like when she used to walk the streets of her native Jamaica. So when the 6-foot-11 high school junior plays Saturday at Philadelphia University and Sunday at Upper Dublin High, she expects the same reactions from her opponents that she had from her teammates when she enrolled at Rutgers Prep less than two years ago. “They were like ‘wow,’ because they had never seen a girl my height,” Anderson said after scoring 18 points in a 58-33 win over Franklin on Thursday. “They were all like, ‘Oh my God,‘ but I was used to it, anyway. Even now, people I am acquainted with, they still stare like they’ve never seen somebody my height before.” Rutgers Prep is entered in both the Phillynews.com/Rally Scholastic Play by Play showcase at Philadelphia University and the Blue Star Tournament at Upper Dublin.

Rutgers Prep’s Marvadene Anderson will showcase her skills in two area high school basketball tournaments this weekend.

BALTIMORE — Caitlin Farrell had better watch out for her new coach, Paul Riley of the Independence. “I’m actually goWPS ing to kill her when Draft I see her,” Riley joked Friday at the 2011 Women’s Professional Soccer draft. “We wanted her last year, and she decided she didn’t want to play soccer and we were shocked by the decision she made.” Last season, the Independence selected Farrell in the seventh round, but the defender decided to finish her schooling and declined the team’s offer. This year, the team selected Farrell, who has has been playing professionally in the Netherlands, in the second round with the eleventh overall pick. “She’s had a year experience playing and doesn’t have to worry about finishing up school,”

Riley said. “Being a year out makes a huge difference.” With the team’s first of seven picks and second overall, the Independence selected Haverford High graduate Sinead Farrelly, a 5-foot-6 midfielder whom Riley compared to current Independence captain Lori Lindsey. The Virginia midfielder was a Hermann Trophy semifinalist in 2009 and 2010, and could make up for the off-season loss of midfielder Caroline Seger. Farrelly, the Atlantic Coast Conference offensive player of the year, recorded four goals and an ACC-high six assists during conference action in her senior season. “I think Farrelly will be a very important player for us,” Riley said. “I think she’ll make a huge impact straight away. She’s going to go straight into the lineup, or close to it. She’s got all the tools to be a top player at the WPS level.” See INDEPENDENCE on E7

COLLEGEBASKETBALL Top 10 Topics, by Joe Juliano 1. A shaky penthouse

Duke’s loss Wednesday night at Florida State left NCAA Division I with just four unbeaten teams — Ohio State, Kansas, Syracuse, and San Diego State. Judging from the schedule, the four names on that list of unbeatens could vanish rather quickly. The Buckeyes, who will host giant-killer Penn State on Saturday, go to No. 16 Illinois next Saturday. Kansas must travel Monday and play a Baylor team itching to get back in the rankings. Syracuse will play Monday night at No. 5 Pittsburgh, while San Diego State will be on the road Saturday at New Mexico, which is 9-0 at home.

3. Nittany miracles

When Penn State lost Dec. 21 at home to Maine, people wondered if it could win more Big Ten games (four) than the football team did. But after back-to-back home victories over then-No. 18 Michigan State and 16th-ranked Illinois, the Nittany Lions (10-6, 3-2 Big Ten) feel they can win maybe twice as many. “Whenever we win, someone always mentions how we lost to Maine,” star guard Talor Battle said. “Maybe that’s what sparked the fire.” The Lions will play two more ranked teams this week — Saturday at Ohio State and Wednesday at Purdue.

4. Jimmer!

You feel bad for Brigham Young guard Jimmer Fredette because he doesn’t get as much television exposure as two national player-of-the-year candidates — Connecticut’s Kemba Walker and Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger. But the 6-foot-2 senior from Glens Falls, N.Y., received plenty of air time on the ESPN highlight machine after scoring 47 points last Wednesday against Utah, including the easiest-looking half-court shot you’ll ever see. Fredette averages 26.1 points and 4.4 assists while shooting 48.2 percent from the field and 41 percent from three-point range.

5. Expatriate of the week I …

Kansas patiently has been waiting for Marcus Morris to live up to preseason expectations of being an all-American candidate. Those clicked in Wednesday night when the 6-foot-8 junior from Prep Charter scored a career-high 33 points — 22 in the second half — to go with 13 rebounds in the

2. Leaving the outhouse

At the other end of the scale, Division I was left with one winless team — Centenary — after North Carolina-Greensboro broke an 0-15 slide Thursday night with a 75-74 victory over Appalachian State in the Southland Conference. Now 0-18, the Centenary Gents (really!) of the Summit League get Southern Utah on Saturday at home before four straight on the road.

No. 3 Jayhawks’ win at Iowa State. “Marcus was great,” Kansas coach Bill Self said in the Kansas City Star. “That was probably his best game since he’s been at KU.”

6 … and I-A

Morris’ twin brother, Markieff, also had one of the best games of his career with the Jayhawks, garnering 17 points and 11 rebounds. So that’s a 50-point, 24-rebound contribution by the Morris brothers against the Cyclones. “I thought they were both great,” Self said, “but Marcus was spectacular.”

7. Close call

It had been a frustrating two months for Jeremy Hazell, Seton Hall’s top scorer. He broke his wrist in a Nov. 19 game against Alabama. Then, on Christmas, he was shot in the right armpit as someone tried to rob him outside his home in the Bronx. But he recovered and returned to the court earlier than expected, scoring 23 points Wednesday night in the Pirates’ win over DePaul. “A guy like that makes everybody better,” Villanova coach Jay Wright said. “He really changes your defensive strategy.”

I’m not going to stand for it. We’ll let our walk-ons represent us.”

9. Opening the Ivys

After losing eight seniors plus its head coach, Cornell begins its quest for a fourth straight Ivy League title Saturday at Columbia. Bill Courtney replaced Springfield (Delco) native Steve Donahue, now at Boston College, and acquired a roster that includes 11 freshmen and sophomores. The familiarity process has been slow. “We were used to Coach Donahue,” returning starter Chris Wroblewski told the Associated Press. “That’s who brought us in here, that’s who we thought we’d be playing for.” After a 29-win season that included two in the NCAA tournament, the Big Red are 4-10. The last time we saw coaches Jay Wright and Gary Williams together, they were teeing off at Aronimink Golf Club in a pro-am that preceded Tiger Woods’ AT&T National. They meet again Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center, when No. 7 Villanova takes on Maryland. How did they play that day? “It’s like Vegas — what happens on the golf course, stays on the golf course,” Wright said, laughing. “I can tell you who definitely played the best, and that was [Temple’s] Fran Dunphy. Gary and I tied for a distant second.” Contact staff writer Joe Juliano at 215-854-4494 or jjuliano@phillynews.com.

Williams’ big decision

Dunphy said he would let senior forward Craig Williams decide whether he wants to redshirt this season. When told that Friday, the 6-foot-9, 240-pounder said he was undecided about coming back. Williams, who is scheduled to graduate in May with a degree in psychology, broke the fifth metatarsal of his left foot on Nov. 14. He had just been cleared for limited practice after recovering from the same injury in his right foot. “I’m kind of confused on what to do,” said Williams, who has been talking with his mother about a potential redshirt. “If I come back, am I going to play?” he said. “Or if I graduate, I will try to do something else.” He averaged 3.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.9 minutes last season.

And the Dukes (10-5, 2-0 Atlantic Ten) have won their last five games by an average margin of 20 points. “They have a different kind of style that makes you play basketball,” said coach Fran Dunphy, whose Owls (12-3, 2-0) will try to extend their seven-game series winning streak against Duquesne. “You may have offensive sets, but you are not really going to run offensive sets,” Dunphy added. “They are going to take you out of those.” The Dukes also have four starters scoring in double figures. Senior swingman Bill Clark averages 16.6 points. Senior forward Damian Saunders is second on the team with 12.3 points. Freshman guard T.J. McConnell (11.9) and junior guard B.J.

Flyers roar past Thrashers

FLYERS from E1 ance goal with 2:57 remaining, and Jeff Carter contributed an empty-net goal. The Flyers, who increased their Atlantic Division lead to three points over idle Pittsburgh, are 5-3 during a stretch in which they are playing nine of 10 games on the road. They will have a difficult challenge Sunday in New York against the Rangers. Rookie Sergei Bobrovsky, making his second start in the last three games, improved to 17-6-3. The Flyers got offensive production from two unexpected sources — Jody Shelley and Kimmo Timonen, each of whom notched his second goal of the season. The Flyers bounced back from Thursday’s wild, 7-5 loss in Boston. “We wanted to get back on track right away; we didn’t want it to drag on,” said Briere, who has scored a goal in five straight games, one shy of equaling his career best, set in 2001 with Phoenix. “We know we have another big game in New York to finish this road trip, so we wanted to stop the bleeding right away.” “The good thing was to get back on the ice and play a game [Friday] and not have to think about” the third-period collapse in Boston, coach Peter Laviolette said. It was a tight-checking, scoreless game for more than 36 minutes — and then the teams, stunningly, combined for four goals in the last 3:23 of the second period. With Timonen in the penalty box for hooking, Atlanta’s Rich Peverley scored off his own rebound with three seconds left in the second, tying the game at 2.

ning team last year, had given Atlanta a 1-0 lead by scoring from the slot with 3:23 left in the second. But Shelley and Timonen scored in a 21-second span to put the Flyers ahead, 2-1. Shelley blocked a Dustin Byfuglien shot, raced over the blue line, and scored on a high drive from the top of the left circle. “We know Byfuglien is a shooter,” Shelley said. “He had the puck on that one-timer, so I just went out there and tried to give him a lane. Fortunately, he rang it off my ankle.” Shelley gained possession and skated into the Thrashers’ end. “I just tried to shoot it as hard as I could,” he said. “The puck went right where I wanted it to.” Twenty-one seconds later, Timonen took a Giroux pass and blasted a shot past Pavelec with 2:26 remaining in the period. The Flyers’ lead lasted about 21/2 minutes. Peverley got behind defenseman Andrej Meszaros and tied it in the closing seconds of the period.

Ravens vs. Steelers: Here they go again

These rivals will meet in another showdown — this time with an AFC title spot at stake. By Alan Robinson ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH — It looks like another winter classic in Pittsburgh. Some NFL rivalries are manufactured. Some ebb and flow depending on the teams’ records. Then there’s Ravens vs. Steelers, one that is as real as it gets. The games usually are meaningful, with an intensity that isn’t faked and a physicality that caused Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward to label it the Black and Blue Bowl. The eighth meeting in three seasons of AFC North rivals that are alike in makeup and personality will leave the winner one victory short of the Super Bowl. The survivor of Saturday’s AFC divisional game will meet the winner of Sunday’s Jets-Patriots game in the AFC championship game on Jan. 23. Yes, another big RavensSteelers game, only a month and 10 days since the last. Yet many in Baltimore and Pittsburgh can’t wait for it. “Both sides know when the whistle blows, you’re going to get what we’ve got, and we’re going to get what they’ve got,” said Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, whose renowned nastiness fits perfectly into a rivalry in which emotions run high and scores run low. “So, once again — I love to use this — here we go again.” The Ravens and Steelers tied with 12-4 regular-season records, but Pittsburgh earned a first-round bye based on its superior division record — one made possible by its improbable 13-10 win in Baltimore on Dec. 5. The Ravens were within

TOM E. PUSKAR / Associated Press

The Steelers’ Rashard Mendenhall is tackled by Ray Lewis and friends. Some call the teams’ clashes the Black and Blue Bowl. a couple of first downs of securing a 10-6 win, but Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu caused a Joe Flacco fumble that led to Ben Roethlisberger’s winning 9-yard touchdown pass with 2 minutes, 51 seconds remaining. Just like that, a season flipped. But Steelers coach Mike Tomlin cautions that the Ravens are capable of “flipping the script” in a series that’s so close, each of the last four games was decided by three points. The combined score since 2003 is Ravens 302, Steelers 302.

Still, the Ravens are 0-2 in the postseason in Heinz Field, where new sod was put down amid a series of snowy days that followed the NHL’s Winter Classic between the Penguins and Washington Capitals on Jan. 1. That was hockey in the rain. This will be football with snow flurries, temperatures in the 20s, and emotions that will be super heated. Former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter proved that when he tried to climb aboard the Ravens’ bus and fight Lewis in 2003. So did Plaxico Bur-

ress and James Trapp when they fought on the field in 2002. So did the Ravens, who stood mocking an oft-sacked Ben Roethlisberger in 2006. Perhaps that wasn’t a good idea: Roethlisberger is 6-0 against them since then. The numerous injuries illustrate the physical nature of the rivalry. Porter’s dangerous hit on an unprotected Todd Heap in 2004 still infuriates the Ravens. Lewis ended running back Rashard Mendenhall’s rookie season by breaking his shoulder in

2008. Ravens linebacker Jameel McClain’s helmet hit on Heath Miller last month caused a concussion and led to a $40,000 fine. In the same game, Haloti Ngata smacked Roethlisberger in the face, breaking the quarterback’s nose with a hit that cost him a $15,000 fine. For the Ravens, perhaps there’s a tinge of envy that the Steelers always seem to gain the upper hand when it matters; they are 2-8 against Roethlisberger.

Ray Rice was held to 52 yards in the two regular-season games, but is the only opposing back in 50 games to run for more than 100 yards against the Steelers’ league-leading rushing defense. There’s much to worry the Ravens, too. Polamalu, bothered for weeks by a sore right Achilles tendon, is the healthiest he has been since midseason. Roethlisberger, under constant pressure last month from linebacker Terrell Suggs, often uses his size and strength to extend plays that appear to have broken down. Wide receiver Mike Wallace, who will be playing in his first postseason game, has seven catches of 40-plus yards and possesses the kind of speed the Ravens haven’t seen elsewhere. There’s often a ‘wow’ factor in Ravens-Steelers games. Ward knows he doesn’t want to experience the opposite feeling, especially given that, because of the NFL’s unstable labor situation, the loser won’t know for sure when it will play again. “We know what’s at stake, and whoever wins this game will have to think about that loss all off-season,” Ward said. “It’s going to be physical. And it usually comes down to the fourth quarter.”

SATURDAY

Baltimore (13-4) at Pittsburgh (12-4) 4:30 p.m., CBS3. Line: Steelers by 3. Baltimore has the best winning percentage (.700) on the road in the playoffs in NFL history. In the last three postseason games, Ravens running back Ray Rice is averaging 128.3 scrimmage yards, and Baltimore is 14-4, including the playoffs, when Rice gains at least 80 rushing yards. Pittsburgh is 18-9 at home in the playoffs. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is 8-2 in the postseason, with a 61.9 completion percentage, 15 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and an 87.2 passer rating.

Green Bay (11-6) at Atlanta (13-3) 8 p.m., Fox29. Line: Falcons by 21/2. After throwing three touchdown passes last week against the Eagles, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown seven touchdowns in his first two playoff starts and has had a passer rating north of 120 in two playoff games. Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan has 33 wins as a starter, is 20-2 at home, and has posted a 100-plus passer rating 16 times. The Falcons are 16-0 in those games. — Ashley Fox

in 1998 when the Dirty Birds rolled to the Super Bowl. Even Blank is less prominent publicly than he was in the early stages of his ownership and throughout the Michael Vick controversy. He still appears on the sideline at the end of games — and he

got soaked after the win over Carolina that clinched the top seed — but has pulled back and let Smith, general manager Thomas Dimitroff, and president Rich McKay run the team. Atlanta is first in the league in fewest penalties (48) and plays from scrimmage (1,097), as well as third in third-down conversion offense and turnover margin. “We don’t make a lot of mistakes,” Blank said. “That’s a big part of winning in the NFL. We’re the least-penalized team in the NFL, which is huge.”

Seattle’s Lofa Tatupu suffered

a concussion last week in the Seahawks’ playoff victory. Fox looks to turn around the struggling Broncos, on their third coach in little more than two years. Fox replaces Josh McDaniels, who was fired Dec. 6 amid the Broncos’ worst slide in four decades and an embarrassing videotaping scandal. Shurmur was hired by Browns president Mike Holmgren despite not having any head coaching experience. The ex-Eagles aide spent the last two seasons as St. Louis’ offensive coordinator. He helped develop Rams rookie quarterback Sam Bradford.

If he goes, defensive qualitycontrol coach Michael Zordich could replace Jauron. Zordich, who played five of his 12 NFL seasons with the Eagles, worked extensively with the defensive backs this past season. The Eagles may look for someone with more experience, however.

Prince Fielder, AL MVP Josh Hamilton, major-league home run champion Jose Bautista, and Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon headed 119 players who filed for salary arbitration Friday. All expect to get large raises, either in settlements or in cases that go to hearings next month. Fielder made $11.25 million with the Milwaukee Brewers last year, when he hit .261 with 32 homers and 114 RBIs. He is eligible for free agency after next season. Papelbon, who also can become a free agent after the season, made $9.35 million last year. He was 5-7 with a 3.90 ERA — two runs higher than in 2009 — striking out 76 in 67 innings. Hamilton, not eligible for free agency until after the 2012 season, batted a majorleague-best .359 with 32 hom-

Seahawks’ Tatupu yet to be cleared

Seattle linebacker Lofa Tatupu went through a practice without helmets or pads, but has still not been cleared to play Sunday against Chicago in the NFC divisional playoff after suffering a concussion last weekend. Tatupu practiced on Friday as the Seahawks held a light walk-through before flying to Chicago. Coach Pete Carroll said that because the practice didn’t involve pads or helmets, Tatupu could participate. Carroll said the “signs are really good” he’ll be able to play against Chicago.

NBAReport Beno Udrih scored 29 points on 11-of-14 shooting as the visiting Sacramento Kings snapped a three-game losing streak with a 93-83 victory Friday night over the lethargic New York Knicks. Chester’s Tyreke Evans managed just nine points for the Kings on Friday’s 4-of-15 shooting in his return to the Games lineup after missing three games with a sprained left ankle.

Elsewhere: Again playing without star Dirk Nowitzki,

the reeling Dallas Mavericks lost their fourth straight, 101-89, to the Spurs in San Antonio. The Spurs (34-6) have won five straight. Nowitzki has missed nine games since being sidelined. … Derrick Rose had 29 points and a season-high 10 rebounds to help the visiting Chicago Bulls beat the Indiana Pacers, 99-86. … The Detroit Pistons beat the Raptors, 101-95, in Toronto. Tracy McGrady scored 22 points for the Pistons, who had lost 12 of their previous 13 road games.

NBA official: Work stoppage ‘not inevitable’ NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver said Friday that a lockout is “not inevitable,” even though no formal meetings are scheduled between owners and the players’ union. A possible work stoppage looms if a deal isn’t reached before the current collective-bargaining agreement expires June 30. Silver said “there’s a lot of time left to try to get a deal done.” Silver said the league has made no formal proposal since the union rejected the last one during last year’s All-Star Game weekend. — Inquirer Wire Services

Playing without LeBron James, the Miami Heat lost their second game in a row, this time to the Nuggets in JAE C. HONG / AP Denver Thursday It’s been downhill for Miami since night. The Nuggets LeBron James sprained his ankle. absolutely pounded the Heat, 130-102 — the most points Miami has allowed this season. James had to sit out because he sprained his left ankle during Wednesday night’s 111-105 loss to the lowly Los Angeles Clippers. Of interest, this run of bad luck for the Heat began after James tweeted during Tuesday night’s 112-57 slaughter of the Cavaliers by the Lakers that, just maybe, karma had something to do with the lopsided loss. That maybe the Cavs wouldn’t be doing so badly if they had been a bit more civil about his leaving Cleveland. Maybe there is something to that karma after all.

in 2d game back

Sixers beat Bucks, end skid SIXERS from E1 goat. After Salmons missed a jumper, Williams turned the ball over with 12.1 seconds remaining. “The ball just slipped out of my hands,” he said. The game almost slipped away as well. On the final possession, the Bucks’ Corey Maggette took Andre Iguodala to the basket. Iguodala deflected the ball as Maggette was driving. Maggette got it back and kicked it out to Boykins, who missed an open, corner three-pointer at the buzzer. “Iguodala kind of got his hand on it,” Maggette said. “Still, I fought for the ball, and Earl had a decent shot.” For Iguodala, the defensive stop ended a stellar game, his second since missing seven with right Achilles tendinitis. He collected 15 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds. “I didn’t want to foul,” Iguodala said. “The ball went in front of my face, and I happened to get a hand on it.” He looked forward to the defensive challenge. “I was hoping they would come after me,” Iguodala said. The Sixers (16-23) ended a two-game losing streak. The Bucks were another in a long line of teams the Sixers are competing against for one of the lower-tier Eastern Conference playoff berths. Milwaukee (14-23) is 0-2 against the Sixers. Elton Brand scored 15 points, but he may have made his best contribution before the game. That’s when Brand made a deal with coach Doug Collins. If the Sixers won, there would be no practice Saturday. “We get our rest and a victory,” Brand said. “I like that deal.”

Collins quipped, “I know they didn’t want to see me tomorrow.” Collins was more serious when talking about Williams, who has scored in double figures in five straight games. “Lou makes us a different team when we are playing well,” the coach said. “Now with Dre back, it gives us options.” Of course, very little comes easy for the Sixers. They led by 15 in the second quarter, but the Bucks cut the margin to six by halftime. The Sixers were up by 11 in the third quarter but led by just 77-72 entering the fourth quarter.

The fourth was a tight affair. Milwaukee took its first lead since the first quarter when Salmons hit a three-pointer to give the Bucks an 83-81 advantage with 8 minutes, 43 seconds left. Boykins had the assist. Back and forth it went. The Sixers tied the score, 92-92, on Spencer Hawes’ jumper off an assist from Williams with 2:29 left. Maggette then hit a baseline runner, giving the Bucks a 94-92 edge with 2:03 left. Then Williams hit his big shot, leading to the win and a coveted day off.

A rising hoops star playing twice in area

ANDERSON from E1 most of last season, Klinger The Argonauts will face set it at less than a year. College coaches, though, Archbishop Wood in Saturday’s featured game, at 7:30 have taken notice. The 17-year-old receives p.m. On Sunday, they will play University High, from mail mostly from Big East schools, but also has received Newark, N.J., at 6 p.m. In July 2009, Anderson left interest from Memphis, Floriher family in Clarendon, Ja- da, Florida State, and North maica, to take up a sport she Carolina State.

If she continues to improve, then the sky’s the limit for her.” Anderson is interested in improving so that her journey to a new country is not for naught. “In Jamaica, you don’t really find people your age, your height,” Anderson said. “When I came here, I see people my height — mostly guys — but I don’t feel lonely anymore. When I was in Jamaica, I never thought I’d find anything this useful with my height. I’m just grateful for the opportunity.” And chances are most of her high school opponents never thought they would have to box out or defend against a 6-11 center, so they cannot help but stare. Anderson, though, is used to that by now. “For her to be where she is and her size and her life experiences, she’s going to be very successful,” Klinger said. “She handles things, and even with some of the comments, she’s proud. She sticks those shoulders out and she’s proud.” Inquirer staff writer Don Beideman contributed to this article.

Independence use picks to add size, speed to lineup INDEPENDENCE from E1 Next, the Independence used the fifth overall pick on Notre Dame’s Lauren Fowlkes, a 5-10 midfielder/ defender. Notre Dame won the NCAA national championship in November, beating then-undefeated Stanford. In the second round, the Independence picked Oregon’s Jen Stoltenberg, a 5-3 forward who ranks third in school history in assists (13) and shots (153). She is fourth in points (49) and fifth in goals (19). The team’s other pick in the round was the 5-9 Farrell, a 2010 Wake Forest graduate who started every game of the 2008 and 2009 seasons and ranks second in school history with 90 games played. She was part of a defense that posted a school-record 15 shutouts in 2009. “Bringing in Farrell and bringing in Fowlkes from Notre Dame, we got some size. They are good in the air. They are strong in the attack,” Riley said.

Area Players in WPS Draft ¢ No. 2 pick Sinead Farrelly, a Virginia midfielder from Havertown, went to the Independence. ¢ No. 19 Katherine Sheeleigh, a Harvard forward from New Vernon, N.J., went to the Boston Breakers. ¢ No. 23 Teresa Rynier, a James Madison midfielder from Leola, Lancaster County, was selected by the Independence. The Independence took UCLA defender Lauren Barnes and Wake Forest midfielder Bianca D’Agostino in the third round, and James Madison midfielder Teresa Rynier with the team’s final pick in the fourth round. The expansion Western New York Flash selected Alex Morgan, a forward from the University of California and a member of the national team. North Carolina midfielder Meghan Klingenberg, a Gibsonia, Pa., native, became the third overall pick when she was selected by the magicTalk SC/Washington Freedom after the team made a

trade with the Atlanta Beat. Briana Scurry, a former member of the women’s national team and the new general manager of the Freedom, said Klingenberg was “high on everybody’s radar” because of her “great left foot.” Scurry described the draft pick as a “very hard worker.” “I personally like the fact that she is a fantastic player but also a great kid,” Scurry said. “She is very intelligent, comes from a great family, but also her work rate is amazing. Obviously, she is willing to do what she needs to do and brings it every day.”

Halladay is top Philly pro athlete

Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay, who threw a pair of nohitters — one a perfect game — and won 20 games during the regular season, will be honored as Pro Athlete of the Year by the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association at its annual dinner Jan. 31 at the Crowne Plaza in Cherry Hill. The Flyers, who advanced

to the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals before losing to Chicago, are the association’s Team of the Year. Other individual award winners include Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino (Humanitarian), 76ers forward Elton Brand (Good Guy), former Eagles linebacker Bill Bergey (Living Legend) and San Jose Earthquakes forward Bobby

Convey (Native Son). The association also will honor the 2010 Most Courageous Athlete, whose identity is kept secret until the night of the dinner. Tickets are $95 for the dinner, which is open to the public. More information can be obtained at www.pswa.org. — Inquirer Staff

Katie Hoff won the women’s 200 freestyle, beating 15-year-old Missy Franklin.

Lombardi Award winner Nick Fairley is skipping his senior season at Auburn to enter the NFL draft. The potential No. 1 overall pick announced his decision Friday at his old high school, saying he didn’t make up his mind until that morning. He and quarterback Cam Newton — who is also turning pro — led the Tigers to a 14-0 season and their first national title since 1957. 8 Washington running back Chris Polk, saying he thinks it will be better for him to stay another season, will return to the Huskies for his junior year. 8 Southern California receiver Markeith Ambles has reconsidered his plan to transfer, deciding to stay with the Trojans.

Association and CBS said they have agreed in principle to a three-year contract that will keep the U.S. Open on the network through 2014 and leave the tournament’s final weekend schedule unchanged. 8 Li Na won her fourth career WTA title, overcoming a 5-0 deficit in the first set to beat third-seeded Kim Clijsters, 7-6 (3), 6-3, at the Sydney International. 8 Wayne Odesnik lost in his first tournament since serving a one-year suspension by the International Tennis Federation.

Stuart Appleby tees off on the

fourth hole of the Sony Open in Honolulu. The first round ended too late for this edition.

Golf

Appleby takes lead in Hawaii ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU — The Sony Open took a while to get started. So did Stuart Appleby. Appleby was humming along Friday on rain-soaked Waialae Country Club, no bogeys on his cards but not many birdies, either. That changed when he holed a 163-yard shot from the fairway and a 35-foot putt on the next green to finish with a 6-under 64. That gave him a 1-shot lead over nine players from Matt Kuchar and Justin Rose to a pair of rookies in Nate Smith and Ben Martin. In soft conditions and only a light breeze, 65 players in the 144-man field broke par. Appleby shot 30 on the back nine, including a chip-in from the front of the 12th green. Then came a strong finish, with a 5-iron that he holed out for eagle on the 16th and the long birdie putt on the 17th. “Less than two hours, really went from a pretty plain round to a good round,” Appleby said. No one could catch him in the afternoon. Shigeki Maruyama, a popular figure in these parts, was at 5 under through 12 holes until he dropped a few shots on the back and had to birdie the 18th for a 65. Martin, who just graduated from Clemson last year, wasn’t sure what to expect. It wasn’t the ideal preparation for his first regular PGA Tour event, although it was out of his hands. He had to do a commercial shoot on Tuesday, then couldn’t practice Wednesday because the range was closed and didn’t play Thursday when rain washed out the opening round. “I hadn’t hit a golf shot in three days,” he said.

LPGA

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The LPGA Tour has denied the request of 15-year-old Alexis Thompson to double the amount of exemptions she is allowed. But under a change in open qualifying, the teenager can earn her way into tournaments.

Archbishop Wood’s Joe Getz drives against St. Joseph’s Prep’s Kevin Oberlies. Getz, the

Catholic League’s leading scorer, led all scorers with 23 points. He also had 7 rebounds.

shoot,” he said. The coachplayer relationship began with a Warrington youth travel team and continued at St. Jude in Chalfont. “I’ve coached him for a

long time,” said Jack Walsh Sr., a 990-point career scorer at Wood (Class of 1981). “He knows what I expect of him. He knows I’m trying to get the best out of him.”

And the strengths of his son’s game? “He’s a got a great jump shot, but he can also put the ball on the floor and get to the basket,” the coach said. Against the Prep, the Vikings trailed by four, 48-44, early in the fourth quarter. Sophomore forward Shane Neher’s three-point play and follow of Walsh’s missed baseline trey put the visitors in front, 51-48, with 2 minutes, 41 seconds to go. In the last 42 seconds, with the Hawks (7-5, 1-2) forced to foul, Wood made all eight of its free-throw tries. Neher (13 points, five boards, two blocks) and freshman forward Joe LoStracco (12 points, five boards) joined Walsh as double-digit scorers. Steve Vasturia, a sophomore point guard, paced the Prep with 20 points. Junior swingman Gene Williams nailed four treys on the way to 14 points. Archbishop Wood St. Joseph’s Prep

If Jack Walsh’s strong perimeter shooting game doesn’t pave the way to playing college basketball, all is not lost. The Archbishop Wood wing guard also succeeds on the links, where he has a five handicap and won the Catholic League individual golf title as a junior. When he’s not on the hardwood, he often can be found taking swings at Old York Road Country Club. “I like golf a lot, but it’s a sport where you have to play a lot to stay good and stay among the best,” Walsh said. “With basketball in the picture, that’s hard to do.” On Friday afternoon, with Walsh netting 13 points and serving as the perfect complement to high-scoring guard Joe Getz, Wood fought past host St. Joseph’s Prep, 61-57, in a Catholic League game at Kelly Fieldhouse. Wa l s h , a 5-foot-11, 175-pound senior, drilled three shots from beyond the arc, grabbed five rebounds, made three steals, and dealt two assists as the Vikings improved to 9-3 overall and 3-0 in the league. Walsh’s father, also named Jack, is in his second year as Wood’s head coach. Since the elder Walsh can be demanding, the father-son relationship has had its tense moments. “My dad can be tough on me, but he’s doing it for one reason,” the 17-year-old said. “That’s for me to be a better player and for us to do well as a team.” Getz, the league’s leading scorer, produced a gamehigh 23 points, seven rebounds (five on offense), and three steals. He went 6 for 6 from the free-throw line in the final 27 seconds. “He’s got great quickness, and he can get to the rim against anybody,” Walsh said of his senior backcourt mate. When he was about 5 years old and his dad was a freshman and JV coach at Wood, Jack Walsh came to games and “would just grab balls and

They were led by Breanna Butler’s 18 points and Aleesha Powell’s 15. Penn Charter closed the first quarter with an 11-point run, but the Patriots went on an 10-0 streak at the outset of the second quarter that gave them a 22-18 lead, an advantage they never lost.
