Chief economist forecasts rosier housing market
Knapik said, “and go back to the fiveyear offer because a whole bunch of networks will be selling their own programming through broadband on the Internet which is upending cable companies. “That’s been our position all along,” Knapik said, referring to changes in technology now available to consumers. The City’s position on the term of the contract has been that telecommunication technology is evolving so rapidly that a shorter duration, five years, is in the city’s best interest, while Comcast has countered that it needs a longer term, closer to the 10-year duration of
By Peter Francis Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD – Massachusetts may see rising home sales soon. Western New England University’s Rivers Memorial Hall Thursday played host to the Real Estate and Economic Forecast event, put on by the Realtor Association of Pioneer Valley and the Home Builders Association of Western Mass. The event featured presentations from leading economists, including Dr. Lawrence Yun, Ph.D, chief economist and senior vice president of research for the National Association of Realtors. “Boston has been hot, but when one looks at the weaker spots, the broad New England area outside Boston… has seen sluggish recovery,” said Yun, who added that greater Springfield has been up and down as the region recovers from the Great Recession. “One month, very positive and the next month, what happened?” he asked. “September data that came out very recently was very good. Sales were up 10 percent from the year before, so Springfield is doing better than the national trend.” “It looks like September was good, but what’s going to happen in October?”

City’s Comcast negotiation stalled By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The city’s negotiation with Comcast has hit a snag over two issues and that the negotiation process is being further complicated by major changes in the telecommunication landscape as programming providers move toward directly providing services to consumers. The City is waiting for a response to its last offer to Comcast for a new cable service contract but recent movement in the telecommunication industry as programming entities, such as HBO, are planning to establish their own networks to directly serve consumers, may undermine the city’s last offer.
The negotiation initiated with the city offered Comcast a five-year contract, while Comcast wanted, at a minimum, an eight-year pact. The city then offered a seven-year deal, with the provision that Comcast maintain its service center on East Mountain Road, a condition which Comcast is reluctant to embrace. Mayor Daniel M. Knapik said Friday that he plans to call a meeting with the city’s Cable Television Commission. Knapik is the designated license issuing authority, but relies on the commission, composed of residents with expertise in the telecommunication field, to provide advice, especially in the rapidly evolving telecommunication technology field. “We may have to retool our offer,”

Businesses learn Video 101 By Peter Francis Staff Writer H O LY O K E – Businessowners and other professionals were given a crash course Friday on how utilizing video can generate more business and potential customers. An afternoon seminar entitled “Video Marketing 101: Video As Part Of Your Marketing/PR Plan” was part of a series of presentations held at the Western Massachusetts Film and Media Exchange, hosted at Holyoke’s Baystate Health Conference Center and presented by the Berkshire Film and Media Collaborative and sponsored by The Westfield News Group. During Video 101, a group consisting of everyone from graphic designers and furniture upholsters to realtors and legal aides, were shown ways to increase the traffic on their websites and YouTube channels. “Consumers are 72 percent more likely to purchase or pick up the phone if your product is connected to a video demonstration online,” said Mary Jo Cranmore, a partner at Client Cycle Marketing who held the lecture. “Video is the new black.” According to Cranmore, a business of any size can utilize video, thanks to the visual world we live in. “It is not about big budgets or big, long, involved pieces. It’s about understanding who you’re talking to,” she said. “If you have a budget, a good producer or videographer can work with you to determine what kinds of videos are going to make the biggest bang for your buck.” Storytelling is a crucial aspect of the video medium, especially in industries where services can be physically demonstrated, such as in service or manufacturing industries. Search engines also help drive video’s importance among businesses trying to increase their appeal. “Google loves (video),” said Cranmore. “It is the most ubiquitous, powerful thing in our world right now, especially when it comes to business.” “If you want to attract people to your website or business, the first thing they do is Google you,” she said. “Google wants you to use their services. YouTube is Google, it’s the second most

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – One of two brothers, the elder, arrested for stealing thousands of dollars in cash from a neighbor has had his day in court and was ordered to pay more than $12,000 in restitution, within a year. He was also ordered to write a “sincere letter of apology to the victim.” Paul A. Grant, 20, 141 Bates Road, was arrested with his younger brother in December, 2013, and accused of breaking into a neighbor’s house repeatedly in 2011 (when they were 15 and 17 years-old) and stealing about $12,000 in hundred dollar bills found in their neighbor’s desk. The crime was originally reported in the summer of 2011 but the investigation stalled until it was assigned to Det. Sgt. Steven Dickinson in November, 2012, after he took command of the evening detective squad at the Westfield Police Department. His investigation found that Grant’s sister had been employed by their neighbors to care for their pets when they went away and had access to a house key. When interviewed by Dickinson, the young See Burglary, Page 3

EUREKA, Calif. (AP) — Police in Northern California say a man robbed a gas station only to return hours later to give the money back and apologize. Eureka Police Sgt. Steve Watson said Sunday that 23-year-old Cyle Warren Abbott Jr. told officers he needed cash to leave town for a fresh start, but then realized his mistake. Watson says Abbott first entered the gas station demanding cash with what the clerk believed was a semi-automatic handgun. He says the clerk gave Abbott some cash, and Abbott left, also taking two bottles of beer. Watson says three hours later Abbott returned, giving back most of the cash and saying he was sorry. He says the weapon turned out to be a BB gun, which officers haven’t found. Abbott was booked into jail on $50,000 bail.

Voters weigh expansion of bottle deposit law By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Both sides in the debate over Question 2 on the Nov. 4 ballot say much has changed in the more than three decades since Massachusetts first passed a bottled deposit law. Proponents of the measure that would expand the scope of the law say a variety of beverages that were largely unheard-of on store shelves at the time have become consumer staples — all the while adding to the state’s litter woes. “There was virtually no such thing, when you walked into a supermarket, as bottled water, sports drinks, vitamin water or Diet Snapple peach-flavored teas,” said Janet Domenitz, executive director of the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group. “There is this entire market of containers that have become litter or trash because they were not defined in the current law.” What has also changed, opponents of the ballot question argue, is the way Americans handle the trash they produce. Slow but steady gains in recycling, including municipal programs that pick up recyclable materials in front of people’s homes, are making returnable containers unnecessary, they say. “It’s really undermining a system that has evolved and works better than loading up your containers and driving them back to the grocery store,” said Nicole Giambusso, spokeswoman for No on Question 2: Stop Forced Deposits. “We should be looking at modern technology and not at something that was created for 1982.” The ballot measure, if approved, would add 5-cent deposits to most non-alcoholic and non-carbonated beverage containers. It would also allow the nickel deposit — unchanged since the original law was approved — to increase with inflation in future years and require that unclaimed deposits be earmarked for a special state environmental fund. After trying without success to convince the Massachusetts Legislature to make the changes, activists opted to take their
case directly to voters. But the ballot campaign has met with stiff opposition from industry groups that through Oct. 20 had spent more than $8.2 million, much of it on an advertising blitz, according to state campaign finance records. By contrast, a coalition of environmental groups supporting Question 2 had collectively spent about $900,000. The opposition has been largely funded by supermarket chains, which would have to deal with the added volume of extra containers being returned, and the Washington-based American Beverage Association, which lobbies for soft drink companies. A TV ad run by opponents that claimed 90 percent of Massachusetts residents have access to curbside recycling was fiercely challenged by backers of the ballot question, who cite state figures showing that only 47.5 percent of cities and towns, covering about 63 percent of the state’s population, offer curbside recycling. “They went on the air and lied,” said Domenitz. Opponents denied misleading voters, though later ads against Question 2 used revised language, saying 90 percent of residents had access to curbside or other “community recycling.” Expanding the bottle deposit law would hike prices for beverages and add millions in handling costs for bottle returns, in part because of the need to purchase new equipment to handle different-sized containers, Giambusso said. Environmental groups embrace curbside recycling but also point to its limitations. It doesn’t account for beverages consumed in parks, on beaches or any number of other places outside the home, Domenitz said. Citing estimates from the state Department of Environmental Protection, the Coalition for an Updated Bottle Bill says 80 percent of carbonated beverage containers have been either redeemed or recycled over the past five years, while the recycling rate for containers not subject to the current deposit law is only 23 percent.

woman said that she had occasionally been unable to care for the animals and she had asked her brother Paul to fill in for her, telling him where to find the key to the house. She specifically denied asking their younger brother for help but said that she believed he knew where the key was kept. Dickinson and the detectives under his command found occasion to discuss the two boys with a number of their friends and peers during the course of their duties and learned that they had a seemingly limitless supply of $100 bills. Information from several associates of the boys painted a picture of two freespending boys who were willing to pay for many luxuries – from video games to narcotics and more – for themselves and their friends. One of those interviewed said that the younger brother “ordered $100 of Dominos pizza, purchased marijuana, cocaine, mushrooms, molly, ecstasy, pills, percosets, clothing and sneakers.” Another young man said that the younger brother seemed to be the paymaster and said “if Paul Grant wanted something he would ask his brother to get it or they would purchase it together.” Several of the brothers’ friends and associates told police interviewers that they knew that the boys had stolen the $100 bills and at least one said that the younger brother had directly told him that he and his brother had stolen the money from a neighbor. Both boys were arrested in December, 2013, about two and a half months before the younger brother’s 18th birthday. He was arraigned in Holyoke Juvenile Court where the proceedings are not public record. Paul Grant was arraigned in Westfield District Court and, on Thursday, appeared before Judge William Rota when he admitted to facts sufficient to warrant guilty findings for charges of breaking and entering a building in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, larceny of property valued more than $250 and conspiracy. The charges were continued without a finding with probation for one year. He was assessed $90 and ordered to pay restitution (due by Oct. 23, 2015) in the amount of $12,240. His terms of probation require that he have no contact with the victims and that he stay at least 10 yards away from them. In addition, he was ordered to write a sincere letter of apology to them. Rota also ordered that Grant remain drug and alcohol free and be subject to random testing while on probation. If Grant does not violate probation, no guilty finding will be entered on his record.

Tech political giving ticks off Silicon Valley liberals
LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor As an Independent voter, and city councilor, I am endorsing Patrick Leahy for State Senate. I want to encourage Independent voters, all the voters of Ward 3 and the many voters throughout the City of Westfield who know me, to vote for Patrick Leahy for State Senate. While I have known Don for some time as a likeable guy, and as a man of his convictions, I must be practical in this decision. Sen. Stan Rosenberg of Northampton will be the next Senate President. This is one of those rare moments for Western Mass., to have our interests and needs met. When it comes to politics we must be both practical and realistic. We are in competition for limited resources with most other towns and cities in Mass., with the cities in Eastern Mass. the priority. Money for education, environment, roads and bridges, I need not go on, are more likely to come to us with a Senator who can work with the Senate President. As well, I have met Mr. Leahy and find him to a capable and good person, serious and concerned about the issues that affect us. As a policeman he knows many of our needs. As a business owner he understands the needs in the private sector as well. I know it is hard for many not to vote for someone from our community but in these hard times it is in our interests to have a State Senator who can work with the next Senate President. Thank you, Brian Hoose, Ward 3 City Councilor. brhoose@comcast.net

By Tony Romm Politico.com Silicon Valley’s power players have learned that Washington can be a political asset — and a cultural hazard. Google, Facebook and other tech giants have been spending furiously inside the Beltway as they seek sweeping changes to the country’s patent, privacy and immigration laws. But as these companies angle to improve their political fortunes, they’ve also backed candidates and causes that are at odds with the beliefs of the larger tech community back home — and the industry has faced plenty of criticism as a result. When Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo tried to cozy up to conservative state legislators, for example, they found themselves on the defensive for supporting an organization that had opposed renewable-energy laws — a major issue for the environmentally conscious tech crowd. As Facebook specifically aimed to donate to a wider array of political candidates, it found itself writing checks to state attorneys general who had been fighting gay marriage, despite the company’s longtime public support for the cause. For well-established Washington insiders, these strange bedfellows are merely the price of doing business. But for tech companies, still learning to navigate politics, the new relationships are the subject of serious friction and scorn. “As some of these tech companies got large enough that they started opening D.C. offices, they brought in D.C. teams, which makes a lot of sense. And in a lot of ways, those D.C. teams did business as usual,” said Julie Samuels, the executive director of Engine, which represents startup companies. “But that way of typically operating on Capitol Hill doesn’t always jibe with the ways these tech companies operate in the Bay Area or New York, wherever they’re based,” she continued. “So I actually think, in a lot of these cases, the companies’ headquarters may not have realized everything that was going on in D.C.” Tech giants erected their D.C. outposts as their business needs dictated. For Microsoft, then Google, the spark was a government antitrust investigation; for others, like Facebook, it was the specter of new privacy restrictions. A bruising but successful 2011 congressional battle over a controversial copyright bill — the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA — spurred scores of smaller startups to engage the city as well. But the industry’s heightened investments at times have ignited controversy, as many companies learned last month from their association with the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC. For years, tech’s biggest names steadily signed up as members of the conservative-leaning group, whose other backers include about 150 state legislators and corporate heavyweights like Comcast and ExxonMobil. One of ALEC’s key functions is to produce model legislation for state capitals — and some Web giants seized on that opportunity. Yelp, for example, worked to advance bills that spare online reviewers from lawsuits.

Yet ALEC’s interests span more than technology. The group historically has fought renewable-energy mandates and advocated for stand-your-ground gun laws. The conservative leanings long have drawn the scorn of major labor unions like the AFL-CIO and liberal activists like Common Cause. Those groups recently seized on the divide — Silicon Valley invests in clean energy — and demanded that Google, Facebook and others leave. Microsoft peeled off first, partly because of shareholder and budget pressures. Google next found itself in the cross hairs, months after liberal activists rallied at a so-called #dontfundevil protest held outside the company’s May shareholder meeting. Asked later in October about Google’s longtime support for ALEC, given the group’s well-known position on renewable energy, Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt seethed during an interview on NPR. “They’re just literally lying,” he said about ALEC’s approach to climate change. Google withdrew from ALEC just days later. The company had been a member since 2011, though the search giant repeatedly failed to reveal the relationship on its political transparency website until December 2013. Yelp and Yahoo soon followed suit, while Facebook said it would reconsider its stance at the end of the year. Ebay remains a member — a fact that led one liberal climate group, Forecast the Facts, to press CEO John Donahoe during an event in Silicon Valley this week. A spokeswoman said eBay reviews its ALEC “membership on an annual basis and will do so again shortly for 2015.” ALEC opponents still believe they’ve scored a major victory. “The fossil fuel industry, the Exxons and BPs and the others, they’re used to being criticized for being old economy, the way of the past, for polluting the environment,” said Miles Rapoport, the president of Common Cause, in an interview. “The tech companies really present themselves [to say], ‘We are the future.’” Yet Google hasn’t committed to a total change in its political course. When asked if the company would cease funding all groups or candidates who dispute climate change, Schmidt remarked at a September event in Washington: “We have been reviewing all of this. We, as a company, and certainly for me personally, we’re not one-issue people. So the decision to do these things is not as simple as yes-or-no.” Facebook, Google and Yahoo still indirectly support ALEC through another trade group, NetChoice. That association participates on one of ALEC’s private-enterprise advisory panels. Google, meanwhile, is a supporter of HeritageAction, a conservative organization that has advocated against climatechange mandates. All of the tech companies declined to make their D.C. leaders available for interviews. A spokeswoman for Yahoo only said the company taps political groups to advance its interests “even though we may not agree with all of the organization’s positions.” A Facebook spokesman offered a similar retort, adding that “our membership should not be viewed as an endorsement of any particular organization or policy.” Facebook is no stranger to uncomfortable politics. The company this election season has tapped its trove of campaign cash to win new support among state attorneys general — regulators who can scrutinize its privacy practices. But Facebook’s donations, doled out to Democrats and Republicans alike, have landed in the hands of at least six state AGs who have openly opposed gay marriage, according to an analysis of state ethics records. The company’s political action committee has contributed $10,000 to Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, who had opposed gay marriage before a federal court permitted it in his state. In 2012 and 2013, it gave more than $13,000 to Georgia AG Sam Olens, who said in June he would defend his state’s marriage ban. And Facebook’s PAC has donated $11,000 to Alabama Republican AG Luther Strange III, who previously fought efforts to allow gay marriage. Yet Facebook maintains a robust LGBT organization within the company. It joined with other tech companies in a legal briefing advancing marriage equality in California, opposing Proposition 8. And Facebook itself has pointed to its campaign support for gay-marriage supporters, like California’s Democratic Attorney General Kamala Harris. Recent attention to Facebook’s political activities nonetheless prompted the company in August to publish online the details of its donations and associations. Tech companies have been stung in the past for their political ties. Yahoo departed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 2011, a split that sources at the time attributed to the business lobby’s support for SOPA — and Yahoo’s opposition to it. Apple withdrew its backing in 2009, citing the Chamber’s approach to climate change. Google remains a member of the organization.

HOLIDAY shipments
UPS expects double-digit surge By DAVID KOENIG AP Business Writer DALLAS (AP) — UPS might levy surcharges or even turn away some holiday shipments this year if retailers surprise the delivery giant by dropping off more packages than they had planned. UPS executives discussed the possibilities Friday as they detailed plans for improving on last holiday season, when many consumers didn’t get their packages by Christmas as promised. Online shopping is growing faster than the storebased kind. That’s good for United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp., and on Friday, UPS predicted that December shipments will rise 11 percent over the same month last year. Atlanta-based UPS offered the forecast while reporting that third-quarter net income rose 11 percent to $1.21 billion, or $1.32 per share, beating Wall Street expectations of $1.28 per share. Revenue was $14.29 billion, topping analysts’

forecast of $14.20 billion, according to FactSet. In afternoon trading, UPS shares rose 25 cents to $100.73. The delivery companies have learned that with the opportunity presented by online shopping, there are also challenges. Last year, a surge in late orders overwhelmed them and resulted in an estimated 2 million express packages missing their Christmas Eve delivery deadlines. About 1.3 million of those were UPS packages, according to tracking-software firm ShipMatrix Inc., which said
THE WESTFIELD NEWS
the retailers were at fault about 70 percent of the time for overpromising on lastminute guaranteed deliveries. UPS has spent the year bulking up facilities and technology, and talking to retailers to better predict shipping volumes this holiday season. On Friday, the president of U.S. operations for UPS, Myron Gray, said that if retailers exceed their shipping quotas, UPS might “mute what they are giving to us.” The company’s chief commercial officer, Alan Gershenhorn, said there
could be surcharges. Asked to clarify the remarks, UPS officials said they would first work with retailers to reschedule unexpected shipments but might have to turn some away. Surcharges would be possible for shipments that force UPS to hire more truck drivers or reserve airfreight capacity, they said. UPS Chief Financial Officer Kurt Kuehn told The Associated Press that some retailers who jumped into e-commerce last year “perhaps got a bit overzealous with their promotions and made some commitments for delivery with virtually no room for error.” Kuehn said that some retailers delivered shipments to UPS “at the last minute,” but that UPS made mistakes too. He said he was confident that the company will perform up to expectations this time around. UPS expects to spend $175 million on temporary facilities and add up to 95,000 seasonal workers to handle the holiday crush.
By STEVE ROTHWELL AP Markets Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Sometimes a little fear is healthy for stock investors. Nine days ago, after a series of sharp sell-offs, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index was down 7.4 percent from its September record as fears of a global economic slowdown intensified. Stocks have surged back this week, thanks to strong corporate earnings, and on Friday the S&P 500 had its best gain in nearly two years. How should investors view this intense flip-flop? As an overdue reminder that stocks aren’t a one-way ride up. While last week’s slump doesn’t technically count as a correction — defined as a 10-percent drop from a peak — that’s how many professional investors view it.
“It’s important to have these periods of scare and fear,” says Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist for U.S. Trust. “It keeps investors honest and it keeps them on their toes.” In fact, such sell-offs often provide a base for another move higher in stocks, market observers say. That’s because a slump stops people from focusing on the upward momentum of the stock market. If prices rise with few bumps along the way, investors sometimes stop considering the fundamental drivers of the market, such as company earnings and the health of the economy, Quinlan says. Investors are also tempted to ignore a tenet of investing: Diversify. After a big drop, though, they think about putting money into other things See Market, Page 7
Out-of-patience investors sell off Amazon By MAE ANDERSON AP Technology Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon has long acted like an ideal customer on its own website: a freewheeling big spender with no worries about balancing a checkbook. Investors confident in founder and CEO Jeff Bezos’ invest-and-expand strategy flooded into the stock as the company revolutionized shopping, upended the book industry and took on the cloud — even though its vast range of initiatives ate up all the company’s profits. After all, when Amazon.com filed for its IPO 17 years ago, it was very clear: the company would post losses for the “foreseeable future” while it invested in the business to drive bigger and bigger sales. Stockholders seemed to like playing Bezos’ long game: shares more than quadrupled between 2010 and 2014 to over $400 apiece. Lately, they’ve lost a little patience. After the Seattle company on Thursday reported a huge thirdquarter loss and issued a disappointing holiday forecast, the stock sold off by nearly 10 percent. It’s now lost 28 percent of its value since the beginning of the year, closing at $287.06 Friday. Daniel Morgan, a Synovus Trust portfolio manager, invests in Amazon. He has no current plans to sell, but he knows Wall Street investors and analysts “tend to have very little patience; they don’t really want to hear a long-term story.” What they want are answers. Particularly when there’s now another e-commerce powerhouse to invest in: Chinese e-commerce player Alibaba, which went public in September in a $25 billion initial public offering, the largest ever. “Frankly, we believe it’s impossible to predict Amazon’s profitability during this prolonged ‘investment cycle’, but profit metrics are clearly moving in the wrong direction and it’s a fair question to ask, does Amazon have too many ‘balls in the air’?” said Wells Fargo analyst Matt Nemer. “I’ve been wondering, and I think a lot of investors have this question as well, in terms of when things don’t go as anticipated in some of the bigger projects where there’s not a revenue stream... what’s the process for determining whether to plow ahead or turn back capital and redeploy it in other areas?” Stifel Nicolaus analyst Scott Devitt pressed on Amazon’s earnings call Thursday night. CFO Tom Szkutak defended the company’s strategy but admitted Amazon needs to pick-and-choose its projects. “We certainly have been in several years now of what I will call in investment mode,” he said on the call. “There’s still lots of opportunity in front of us but we know that we have to be very selective about which opportunities we pursue. “ For years, Amazon’s strategy has been spending the money it makes to grow and expand into new areas. It launched a smartphone, the Fire, this summer and has been offering a set-top videostreaming device, a streaming video service and several tablets and e-book readers. The company has also been investing in services for its $99-a-year loyalty program, Prime. It has added a grocery delivery services and music streaming for Prime members as well as offering original TV shows such as the critically acclaimed “Transparent” starring Jeffrey Tambor. But all of those initiatives cost money and time to develop. And not all of them have been hits. The company’s splashy launch of its Fire phone was quickly followed by mediocre reviews and a steep price cut to entice buyers. Amazon said it took a charge of $170 million related to “inventory evaluation and supplier commitment costs” for the Fire, although it did not give further details. Amazon has about $83 million of Fire See Amazon, Page 7
Survey: Gas prices drop 18 cents in 2 weeks CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — A national survey of gas prices reports that the average cost of U.S. regular grade gas dropped 18 cents per gallon in the last two weeks. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that the average for regular grade gas is $3.08 per gallon, while
midgrade averages $3.31 and premium $3.47. Retail diesel averages $3.67. Lundberg said the price has dropped 65 cents since its peak in May and is 29 cents below what it was last year. She said the drop has been driven by a decrease in the price of crude oil.
She forecasts minimal further cuts if prices remain stable. In the Lower 48 states, San Francisco had the highest average price at $3.45 per gallon, while Memphis, Tennessee, had the lowest average at $2.73.

SpaceX capsule splashes down in Pacific LOS ANGELES (AP) — A SpaceX capsule loaded with space station experiments is back on Earth. The unmanned Dragon capsule parachuted into the Pacific, west of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, on Saturday. It departed the International Space Station earlier in the day with 3,300 pounds of gear for NASA, including valuable science samples. The California-based SpaceX company launched the Dragon from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Sept. 21. It was the fifth Dragon shipment. High seas in the recovery area delayed its return by four days. NASA is paying SpaceX and Orbital Sciences Corp. to make station supply runs. Only SpaceX is capable of bringing cargo back intact. Orbital’s next launch is scheduled for Monday from Wallops Island, Virginia. ——— SpaceX: http://www. spacex.com/

besides stocks. It has been more than three years since the last correction and that was making some investors hesitant to buy stocks. The average amount of time between slumps is 18 months, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. Many investors reasoned that, statistically speaking, at least, the market was due for a sell-off. John Manley, chief equity strategist at Wells Fargo Funds Management says that the recent plunge wasn’t typical of a sell-off that precedes a deeper drop in stock prices. Instead, the slump was typical of a sell-off that happens in a rising market, known as a bull market, he says. By contrast, declines of 20 percent or more, known as bear markets, tend to start with gradual sell-offs, rather than sudden swoons, Manley says. “The thing about bull market corrections is that they come out of nowhere, and they are very violent and they are very nasty, and they are very short,” Manley says. For a deeper sell-off to happen, investors need to become complacent, or wildly enthusiastic, he says. So far, he sees little evidence of that on Wall Street. Manley expects the stock market to continue to stabilize as the U.S. economy strengthens and company earnings improve. Some believe that the slump changed the psychology of the market. The Chicago Board Options Exchange’s volatility index, known as the VIX, or fear
index, rose as high as 31 during the day on Oct. 15, but has since fallen back to 16.11. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell as low as 1.91 percent last week as investors snapped up safer government bonds. It now trades at 2.27 percent. But Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth financial network, an independent broker dealer, sees more caution in the market. The sharp sell-off has made investors focus on risks, such as a slowdown in growth in Europe and China. “There are cracks in the ice at this point,” said McMillan. “People are really starting to process the fact that ‘we’re pretty far up there,’” in terms of stock prices. After a surge of nearly 30 percent last year, the S&P 500 is trading at 24.8 times its 10-year average earnings, as calculated by Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Shiller of Yale. That is much more expensive than the long-term average of 16.5. Schiller’s measure smooths out distortions caused by the business cycle. It was also no coincidence that the slump in stocks came shortly before the Federal Reserve was due to end its economic stimulus, says Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. The Fed is expected to end its bond-buying program this month, and to start raising interest rates by the middle of next year, its first hikes since 2006. Pavlik points out that the market’s
Amazon
sell-off only started to abate when St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said that the central bank should consider putting off ending its purchases. Stocks also rallied this week on reports that the European Central Bank was considering buying corporate bonds, a move that could lower borrowing costs and revive the region’s economy. “Any time there’s a change in monetary policy you’re going to see the market become affected, and you’re going to see volatility increase,” Pavlik says. Despite the gyrations, the S&P 500 index is trading at 1,964, slightly higher than where analysts expected it to end the year. The average forecast of five banks polled at the end of 2013 was for the index to end this year at 1,915. History suggests that the last quarter of the year will end up being a good one for stocks. The S&P 500 has gained an average of 4.8 percent during the period over the last 15 years. Another factor that could support stocks? Global investors are likely to start shifting more money to the U.S. because growth elsewhere remains muted. That could push up demand for U.S. assets. “I do believe that the U.S. economy is a shiny city on top of the economic hill right now,” says Kevin Mahn, President and Chief Investment Officer of Hennion & Walsh Asset Management. “That’s where investors are finding some comfort.”

phone inventory at the end of the quarter. So investors are increasingly signaling that Amazon needs to work harder at turning a profit. “The market was looking for more in terms of revenue and operating income and the fourthquarter outlook,” said Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy. “It’s going to be a competitive landscape for retailers this holiday season and retailers will compete aggressively for consumers.” Synovus’ Morgan said that although the company’s Fire phone and other initiatives have not been instant successes, he’s still optimistic about Amazon Web Services, Amazon’s rapidly growing cloud computing platform. The company does not break out Amazon Web Services growth specifically, but Szkutak said usage growth was 90 percent in the quarter. IDC estimates Amazon Web Services had revenue of $695.8 million in 2013. “The hope is that Amazon Web Services is going to continue to take off and become what Amazon believes it to be,” he said.

by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg that raised money from Silicon Valley executives in order to advance immigration reform. “When it comes to politics, Silicon Valley is a teenager that grew up too fast and doesn’t understand the intricacies of the political system,” said Vivek Wadhwa, a top fellow at Stanford Law School. FWD.us earlier this year ran ads that defended liberal and conservative candidates on issues unrelated to immigration, just in a bid to boost its supporters in Congress. The approach failed to resonate, Wadhwa said, because it didn’t reflect the “Silicon Valley way.” To the tech industry’s political veterans, though, this is precisely the unique challenge they face. “When you talk about companies like Facebook and Google, they are built on a more idealistic platform than a lot of major institutional companies historically have been,” Samuels said. “It’s part of their DNA that they engage on some of these social issues, that they engage their users. Politically, that puts them in a really tough spot. We don’t hold other companies to the same standards.”

By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — For Democrat Martha Coakley, the governor’s race in Massachusetts is more than just a contest for the state’s top political office. It’s also a quest for political redemption. Four years ago, Coakley, the state’s attorney general, crushed her party’s hopes and imperiled President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul when a little-known Republican state lawmaker, Scott Brown, claimed the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Edward Kennedy. That special election has been the source of endless political analysis ever since. Prognosticators attribute the outcome to everything from Obama’s unpopularity to Coakley’s reluctance to shake hands with voters outside beloved Fenway Park. After the loss, Coakley was even mocked in a “Saturday Night Live” skit. Now, the 61-year-old Coakley finds herself in another tough contest. For weeks, polls pointed to a toss-up between Coakley and Republican Charlie Baker in the race to succeed Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick. A new poll by The Boston Globe suggests Baker has the edge. The Globe poll shows Baker with the support of 45 percent of those polled compared with 36 percent for Coakley, a 9-point advantage in a survey with a margin of error of 4 percentage points. The telephone survey of 500 likely voters was conducted Oct. 19-22. In another blow to Coakley, the Globe on Sunday endorsed Baker, saying “the Republican nominee would provide the best counterpoint to the instincts of an overwhelmingly Democratic Legislature.” Coakley said she has tried to revamp her public image, including showing a more personal side by talking publicly about the suicide of her brother, Edward, who died in 1996 at age 33 after battling depression. “I think that people still think from 2010 that I don’t have a sense of humor or I’m too chilly,” Coakley said at a recent debate. “I’ve worked for four years to overcome that.” She also has tried to learn from her 2010 loss, promising at a state Democratic convention in June that no other candidate would “travel more
miles, knock on more doors, shake more hands or make more phone calls.” Baker, 57, a former CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and top official under Republican Govs. William Weld and Paul Cellucci, is also seeking redemption. Baker lost a tough race four years ago, failing to unseat Patrick at a time when the governor appeared vulnerable. By his own admission, Baker came off a little too angry. He has pledged to show a sunnier side as he reaches out to the independent and Democratic voters he will need to win. “For me it’s always been about people,” Baker, 57, said at the same debate. “It bothers me that a guy who is pretty facile with math, which does matter when you’re talking about a $38 billion budget, is somehow considered to be somebody who doesn’t care about people.” For Coakley, the expectations of victory are particularly heavy in a state where Democrats hold every statewide office, every congressional seat and overwhelming majorities in both legislative chambers. By those measures, Coakley, who has run two successful statewide races and is one of the state’s best known political figures, should be a clear favorite. Coakley is also facing political and historical headwinds. Despite a liberal reputation, Massachusetts has been slow to elect women to top offices. Coakley was the first woman elected attorney general and would be the first elected governor. State attorneys general have had a tough time making the leap to governor in Massachusetts. Coakley has had to defend decisions she made as the state’s top law enforcement official, including a decision to fight, rather than settle, a lawsuit by a New York-based children’s rights group against the Department of Children and Families. On campaign issues, Coakley promotes her support of pre-kindergarten education, regional economic development, and support for mental health services. Baker pledges to hold down taxes, support job growth and make government more efficient. Baker has a fundraising edge. As of midOctober, he had $1.2 million in his account, compared with Coakley’s $300,000.

Sullivan leads Bombers Westfield 2, Amherst 0 Leighanne Sullivan scored a pair of second half goals to lead Westfield to victory in its final game of the regular season. The Bombers finished with a record of 5-9-3. “We didn’t make the postseason this year, but we had a great year,” Westfield coach Karen Gomez said. “We’re looking to a great freshman class as well as continuing our success with the program.” Westfield finished the weekend contest with only eight varsity players. The Bombers were without several key players due to a scheduling conflict, and players out due to prior commitments (college visits, religious, family, etc.). “With only half our varsity squad and JV filling in, it’s really a testament to our program … that the girls were able to step up and fill in,” coach Gomez said. “Our varsity girls were leaders showing the girls what we needed to to and come in with a win.” Liz Marcyoniak and freshman Moira McDonald had the Bombers’ assists.

Patriots rout Bears, look to Broncos game By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Next weekend’s activities come at an opportune time for the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears. With Tom Brady and his team playing their best football of the season, the Patriots host Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos on Sunday. With the Bears playing their worst, they can watch other teams lose on television during their bye week. “We are going to have time to really look at ourselves, individually and collectively,” Chicago coach Marc Trestman said. “The break comes at a good time for that.” Brady had one of the best games of his 15-year career with five touchdown passes and the Patriots won 51-23 on Sunday after leading 45-7 early in the third quarter. The Patriots (6-2) will put their four-game winning streak on the line against the Broncos (6-1), whose only loss was in overtime to the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. “We have a week to prepare,” Brady said, “so we’ll kind of build our confidence throughout the week.” His should be sky-high after the way he’s played his past four games. He’s thrown for 1,268 yards, 14 touchdowns and no interceptions in that span. Sunday’s game was his best of the bunch

— 30 completions in 35 attempts for 354 yards. And Rob Gronkowski, healthy after being sidelined most of last season, caught three touchdowns passes. “He can run well. He has great hands,” Chicago linebacker Sean McClellin said. “And when you put that with a quarterback like Tom Brady, he’s going to be tough to defend for anyone.” Brady’s completion percentage of 85.7 is the third best in his
NFL ROUNDUP
STEELERS 51, COLTS 34 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger set franchise records with 522 yards passing and six touchdowns and the Pittsburgh Steelers raced by the Indianapolis Colts 51-34 on Sunday. Roethlisberger’s yardage total was the fourth highest in NFL history. He became the first player to go over 500 yards passing twice as the Steelers (5-3) won consecutive games for the first time this season. Antonio Brown caught 10 passes for 133 yards and two scores. Heath Miller caught seven passes for 112 yards and the clinching TD with 5:14 remaining. Andrew Luck passed for 400 yards and three touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions. He handed the Steelers a safety when he was called for intentional grounding in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter as the Colts saw their five-game winning streak end spectacularly. BENGALS 27, RAVENS 24 Andy Dalton made up for his two second-half turnovers by scoring on a 1-yard sneak with 57 seconds left on Sunday, rallying the Cincinnati Bengals to a 27-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens that tightened the AFC North race. The Bengals (4-2-1) wasted an 11-point lead as Dalton’s fumble and interception helped the Ravens (5-3) pull ahead 24-20 with 3:59 left. That’s when Dalton pulled it out against the NFL’s stingiest defense. He threw a 53-yard pass to Mohamed Sanu on third-and-10 — safety Terrence Brooks got turned around — and took it the final yard on fourth down, completing a 10-play, 80-yard drive. The Ravens appeared to regain the lead when Steve Smith Sr. caught a pass and went 80 yards to the end zone with 32 seconds left, but the receiver was called for pushing off to get open. LIONS 22, FALCONS 21 LONDON (AP) — Matt Prater kicked a 48-yard field goal on the last play of the game Sunday, lifting the Lions after trailing by 21 points. Prater capped a second straight late winning drive for the Lions (6-2), who
also rallied to beat the Saints last week. It was the first field goal the Lions made from 40-49 yards all season. Matthew Stafford threw for 325 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 120 TDs, breaking the Lions record of 118 held by Bobby Layne. Matt Ryan led the Falcons (2-6) with 228 yards passing and two touchdowns, but clock management problems, a penalty and a dropped pass doomed the Falcons at the end. The blown halftime lead tied the biggest in Atlanta history. CARDINALS 24, EAGLES 20 GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Carson Palmer lofted a 75-yard touchdown pass to rookie John Brown with 1:21 to play to give Arizona a stunning victory in a matchup of two of the NFL’s four one-loss teams entering this week. The Cardinals (6-1) had a goal-line stand that forced the Eagles (5-2) to settle for a 20-yard field goal that put Philadelphia up 20-17 with 1:56 left. Then on third-and-5, Palmer — who also had an 80-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald — heaved the ball deep, where the speedy Brown gathered it in and crossed the goal line just as he was being tackled. The Eagles drove to the
Arizona 16. On the last play, Jordan Matthews caught a pass from Nick Foles in the end zone but landed out of bounds. SEAHAWKS 13, PANTHERS 9 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Russell Wilson threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Luke Willson with 47 seconds left. It’s the third straight year Wilson has brought the Seahawks (4-3) back from a second-half deficit to beat the Panthers on the road. In the previous two seasons, Wilson threw second-half TD passes to Jermaine Kearse and Golden Tate in tight defensive games. Carolina’s defense, which had allowed at least 37 points in four of its previous five games, held the Seahawks in check before Wilson led a nine-play, 80-yard drive for the only touchdown. Wilson finished 20 of 32 for 199 yards with one interception and one touchdown. Cam Newton was 12 of 27 for 121 yards with an interception and a fumble for the Panthers (3-4-1). SAINTS 44, PACKERS 23 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees completed 27 of 32 passes for 311 yards and three touchdowns, and the Saints ended the Packers’ fourgame winning streak. See NFL Roundup, Page 14
227 games during the regular season and playoffs, and he threw fewer passes in the two higher ones. His passer rating of 148.4 is his eighth best. “I love coaching Tom. I’ve been fortunate to have him the whole career since he’s been here,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “He does a great job of executing the team game plan.” The Bears (3-5) must execute theirs better when they return from their bye week with a visit to another tough opponent, the Green Bay Packers. “We’ve got to decide how we want to end this year,” said Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler, who threw three touchdown passes. “Do we want to just pack it in and hover around .500, maybe a little bit below, or do we want to use the talent in that locker room to try to make a run for this?” Some highlights from New England’s victory: HURRY UP AND SCORE: The Patriots scored three touchdowns in 57 seconds in the final 2 minutes of the first half to take a 38-7 lead. Brady threw scoring passes of 2 yards to Gronkowski and 9 yards to Brandon LaFell before Rob Ninkovich returned Cutler’s fumble 15 yards for a touchdown. Cutler called that stretch “agonizing.” “I don’t think the score is really indicative of the game,” See Belichick, Page 14

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
How do I resolve this? Dear Annie: Two years ago, a good friend died of a heart attack. His wife, “Sally,” asked me to help her get rid of his things, which I was happy to do, and I soon found myself mowing her lawn and doing chores around the house. Here is the problem: I am a happily married man and father of four. I have been married for 25 years and love my wife dearly, but I have also come to the conclusion that I have fallen in love with Sally. I have no desire to divorce my wife or start an affair, but I struggle very hard with the fact that I am in love with two women. How do I resolve this? -- Heart Split in Two Dear Split: Please understand that the love you feel for Sally is not the same as what you feel for your wife. Men often have too little experience acknowledging how much they can love a close friend, so when it happens with a woman, they conclude that it must be romantic in nature. But that’s not necessarily true. It’s understandable to confuse this loving friendship with the loving intimacy you have shared with your wife for 25 years, and it’s OK to care deeply for Sally. But you should not do anything to encourage the friendship to be more than it is or to jeopardize your marriage. That means limiting your contact with Sally, inviting your wife to join you when you go to Sally’s house and perhaps even introducing Sally to available men so you don’t act as if you are filling that role. If you are unable to do that, it’s time to back off completely. Dear Annie: I had sole care of my mother, and when she died three years ago, I wrote the death notice for the newspaper. I inadvertently left off my brother’s stepson. This was not intentional, and I regret the error. I sent two emails to my brother and his wife apologizing. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law told my grown children that her heart was broken. She has not spoken to me since. I never thought a rift like this would happen in our family. I have now given up on this relationship. I feel I have done all that I can to apologize. Do you agree? -- Unforgiven Dear Unforgiven: Mistakes like this happen all the time, and it certainly seems as though your sister-in-law is determined to hold a grudge. But two emails don’t really qualify as a heartfelt, sincere apology. Please go see her in person. Perhaps your brother or one of your children could facilitate the meeting. Tell her how sorry you are for excluding her son and that you certainly didn’t mean to and would correct it if it were possible. Also tell her how heartbroken you are by the family rift, and ask whether there is anything you can do to fix it. If she still won’t speak to you, then we would say you have done all you can. Dear Annie: You two need a lobotomy. “Still Grieving” complained that she received a sympathy card and the person added her dog’s paw prints. There is nothing wrong with that. My dogs are my kids. I sign their names to everything, and I add a paw print for each of them. I actually put food coloring on their paws. You are obviously ignorant when it comes to the true love between pets and their owners. My dogs also eat off of my dishes and at the table on their birthdays. -- PO’d in New York Dear New York: Adding your dog’s name to a sympathy card is tolerable. But a paw print is inappropriate, and we’ll stick to that whether you like it or not. We wouldn’t add a child’s handprint (with food coloring, no less) to a sympathy card, either. Please stop thinking of yourself, and consider the person on the receiving end. But we’ll consider the lobotomy, thanks.

HINTS FROM HELOISE PREPARE PETS Dear Readers: How many of you (me included) have emergency plans that include your pets? Our pets are members of the family! In my household, my thinking is that David, my husband, can get himself out the door, but Chammy, our silky wheaten (adopted dog), may need my help! If there’s an emergency, don’t leave your pet behind! Here are a few hints from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and me to be prepared so your pet friends will be safe: * Have a visible sticker or sign that shows the number and types of animals present. This alerts emergency personnel that animals may be inside. * Store an emergency kit, leashes and/or carriers so they can be grabbed quickly if you live in an area that is prone to sudden evacuation situations. * Locate (beforehand) places your animals can stay if necessary. Make a list of boarding facilities and hotels that accept pets. * Make sure your pets always have identification tags and are chipped, if possible! If you don’t live somewhere that may experience sudden “disasters,” still think through the steps you might need. -Heloise

Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Oct. 27, 2014: This year you have an unusual opportunity to expand your horizons and meet new people. You are likely to make a commitment to an organization, which will make you feel accomplished. You are in a period where you’ll be capable of manifesting more of your desires. If you are single, you will have many choices to make. Keep in mind what kind of relationship you are looking for. If you are attached, you will be more content within your relationship than you have been in many years. LEO knows how to push you too far. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH The unexpected could create a challenge and force you down a new path. An associate will have a lot to say, and he or she could be determined to speak up. You’ll become more upbeat once your creativity kicks. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH If you are willing to defer to a loved one, everything will proceed in a most congenial manner. People flourish with trust, and you can be very trusting. A conversation with a family member could be more positive than you might have expected it to be. Tonight: Check in with a friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You know what you want, and you’ll have persuasive powers today. You might want to use them when dealing with a partner whose opinions often differ from yours. It could seem as if nearly everything you say is right-on. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s suggestion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Know your limits with someone you interact with daily. This person won’t be rude if you make a suggestion, but he or she might not work with you as easily as you might like. Your expectations seem to exceed his or her ability to create the desired results. Tonight: Order in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You are unusually fortunate right now, and you seem to smile your way right through a problem. You blend creativity and communication well. Others appreciate your ability to help them see the big picture. Tonight: Let a loved one inspire you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Someone who you relate to closely might surprise you with his or her unpredictability. You are likely to start tossing aside some of your selfimposed restrictions if you continue hanging out with this person. Tonight: Mosey on home; you have a lot to sort through. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Don’t hesitate to ask questions in order to verify what you’ve heard. Your positive vibes will set the tone for others right now. Drop the words “no” and “impossible” from your vocabulary; you’ll see what a difference it can make. Tonight: Return calls, then decide. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Resist a tendency to overthink. You might decide to take action before a problem happens. In that case, you will be able to relax more easily. A loved one might inspire you to take off with him or her -- if not today, then soon. Tonight: Buy a treat for yourself on the way home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You’ll perk up with the mention of a great idea. You seem energized, and, fortunately for others, this exuberance will be contagious. A meeting easily could turn into a gossip session. You might want to listen more carefully. Tonight: Others are highly responsive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Slow down, and take a closer look at what others are doing. Someone you look up to might have a lot to share. You intuitively will know what to say and do. Financial dealings with others will be highly favored. If you feel lucky, buy a lottery ticket. Tonight: Screen calls. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A meeting could be unusually successful. You know what you want, and a strong romance might be the result. Be willing to let go some of your rigidity, and see the world through fresh eyes. Tonight: Make a special gesture toward a love one.

Crosswords
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might feel as if you must do what someone asks. You’ll have your reasons for saying “no,” but how solid are they? You might want to figure that out before you agree to anything. Communicate your feelings in a way that a loved one will hear. Tonight: Go for what you want.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick talks to game officials in the first half of an NFL football game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014, in Foxborough, Mass. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)

Belichick said. “It kind of got out of hand there.” CATCHING ON: Gronkowski caught nine passes for 149 yards. LaFell had 11 receptions for 124 yards, both highs for his five-year career, and scored his fourth touchdown in five games. Then he praised Brady, who led scoring drives on the Patriots first six possessions. “He’s like this every day in practice,” LaFell said. “We’ve seen the look in Tom already throwing the ball like that all week, so it’s allowed us to play faster.” POSTGAME ADVICE: Bears receiver Brandon Marshall, heard shouting in the locker room after a 27-14 loss to Miami a week earlier, had a tip for reporters waiting outside the Chicago locker room Sunday. “Put your ears closer to the door,” he suggested. No yelling was heard. “We’re sitting at 3-5 and half the season is gone,” Marshall said in a subdued room after making three catches. “It’s going to be tough.” RUNNING AROUND: Bears running back
Matt Forte had another solid statistical day for Chicago with 114 yards on 19 carries and six receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown. He began the day fifth in the NFL with 448 yards rushing and first with 52 catches. New England’s Jonas Gray ran for 86 yards on 17 carries in his second NFL game. The 24-year-old Gray, who spent all last season on Baltimore’s practice squad, was promoted from New England’s practice squad before its win over the Jets on Oct. 16 after Stevan Ridley suffered a season-ending right knee injury. Gray rushed three times for 12 yards against New York. DANCING FOOL: Bears defensive end Lamarr Houston hurt his knee while celebrating a sack on backup Jimmy Garoppolo with about 3 minutes left and the Patriots leading 48-23. “I’m disappointed for Lamarr,” Trestman said, twice. Chicago rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller missed the second half with a hip injury. “I’m going to be all right,” he said.

Rookie receiver Brandin Cooks had a 50-yard touchdown catch and a 4-yard scoring run, and tight end Jimmy Graham also caught a touchdown pass to help the Saints (3-4) pull even in victories with Carolina (3-4-1). That sets up a showdown to decide first place in the NFC South on Thursday night. Aaron Rodgers, intercepted only once in Green Bay’s first seven games, was picked off twice on deflected and sacked three times. He still passed for 418 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb, but it was not nearly enough to prevent the Packers (5-3) from falling a game behind NFC North leader Detroit. VIKINGS 19, BUCCANEERS 13, OT TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Anthony Barr forced a fumble on the first play of overtime and returned it 27 yards to score. The stunning end came just 17 seconds after the Vikings (3-5) extended the game on Blair Walsh’s 38-yard field goal on the final play of regulation. Teddy Bridgewater threw for 241 yards, one TD and no interceptions to help

Minnesota stop a three-game skid. Mike Glennon threw a 7-yard scoring pass to Austin Seferian-Jenkins to give Tampa Bay (1-6) a 13-10 lead with 2:02 remaining. But the Bucs’ porous defense couldn’t stop Bridgewater from putting together a nine-play, 61-yard march to get the game into OT. Glennon’s pass to SeferianJenkins gained 10 yards before Barr stripped the ball from the rookie tight end and took it up the left sideline to score. CHIEFS 34, RAMS 7 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jamaal Charles ran for two touchdowns, Knile Davis returned a kick 99 yards for another score and the Chiefs trounced their cross-state rival. Cairo Santos added a pair of field goals for Kansas City (4-3), including a career-best 53-yarder. Alex Smith was 24 of 28 for 226 yards, while Davis capped a run of 34 unanswered points with a short touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Justin Houston had three of the Chiefs’ seven sacks.
The banged-up Rams (2-5) lost their sixth straight to Kansas City dating to Sept. 25, 1994, when they were still in Los Angeles. Austin Davis threw for 160 yards with a touchdown and a pick. DOLPHINS 27, JAGUARS 13 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Rookie Blake Bortles had two interceptions returned for touchdowns, costly mistakes that helped the Dolphins win. Louis Delmas (81 yards) and Brent Grimes (22 yards) scored on the turnovers for the Dolphins (4-3), who won consecutive games for the first time this season. Ryan Tannehill’s 3-yard pass to Rishard Matthews made it 24-6 late in the third quarter and gave the Dolphins a comfortable cushion in a game they could have easily trailed by double digits. The Jaguars (1-7) dominated the first half, but trailed 10-3 at the break because of miscues. Bortles was the culprit, continuing a trend that started when he took over the starting job last month. Bortles had three turnovers Sunday, giving him six in the last two weeks and 13 in six games. Four of those have

Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney played for the first time since hurting his knee in the season opener. Clowney finished with one tackle. Rookie Zach Mettenberger turned over the ball twice in his first start, and he also threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns. The Titans (2-6) go into their bye having lost two straight.

quarter and the Browns avoided a second straight embarrassing loss. Hoyer’s TD to Hawkins put the Browns (4-3) ahead 16-6, shortly after Cleveland’s defense came to the rescue. Safety Donte Whitner forced a fumble late in the third quarter with a huge hit on Oakland running back Darren McFadden as the Raiders (0-7) were driving deep into Cleveland territory. Cleveland lost at Jacksonville last week, giving the Jaguars their first win. According to STATS, no team in NFL history has lost consecutive games to winless teams in Week 7 or later. It was hardly a perfect performance, but the Browns, who were held to 39 yards rushing and converted only 2 of 12 third downs, will take it. TEXANS 30, TITANS 16 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Arian Foster ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a pass for a score in the franchise’s 200th game. The Texans (4-4) also snapped a three-game skid as Foster topped 100 yards rushing in his fourth straight

been interceptions returned for touchdowns. BILLS 43, JETS 23 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Kyle Orton threw four touchdown passes and the Bills forced six turnovers, three each by Geno Smith and Michael Vick. Orton won for the third time in four games since replacing EJ Manuel as the starting quarterback for the Bills (5-3), tossing TD passes to Robert Woods, Lee Smith, Scott Chandler and Sammy Watkins against the listless Jets (1-7). Stephon Gilmore, Preston Brown, Aaron Williams and Da’Norris Searcy had interceptions for the Bills. The Jets have lost seven straight for the first time since 2005, in Herm Edwards’ final season as coach. Geno Smith interceptions on three consecutive possessions in the first quarter and was pulled in favor of Vick, who was picked off once and lost two fumbles.

SEASONAL TEMPORARY DRIVER
It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.
