O’BRIEN HOPING FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR The chances may be slim, but Bill O’Brien is holding out hope just the same. The Penn State coach is optimistic that strong compliance with the NCAA may eventually result in a reduction of the sanctions that hang over his football program. O’Brien said Friday at Big Ten media days that he believed, after listening to NCAA President Mark Emmert speak Monday, that leniency was possible. “Yes. He said that in his press conference, that they could come in and revisit (the situation),” O’Brien said. “And that could go either way.” Page 1B

CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE

Sandusky case led to heightened awareness Sexual abuse of children is now being discussed seriously, experts say.

If anything good came out of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal, it’s that people are beginning to recognize child sexual abuse as a serious problem, a spokeswoman for the National Sexual Violence Resource Center said. “This case broke in November, and we’re still talking about it,” said Tracy Cox, communications director of the center, which is based in Enola, Cumberland County. “It affords us an opportunity to reach a lot of people and give them information.” National statistics indicate on-

WILKES-BARRE – The start of the flu season is a few months away, but the city already is making plans to offer several free vaccination clinics.

Local doctor sues over Pa. chemical gag rule Dr. Alfonso Rodriguez says the state is preventing him from discussing fracking issues.

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A Dallas physician has filed a federal lawsuit against several state offices, alleging a recently enacted law that limits information medical professionals can release about persons injured by chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing is impeding his ability to treat patients. Dr. Alfonso Rodriguez claims the “medical gag rule” contained in Act 13, which amended the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Act, could prohibit him from communicating crucial information to other physicians involved in treating patients exposed to fracking chemicals. The suit, filed Friday in federal court in Scranton, names as defendants Michael Krancer, secretary of the state Department of Environmental Protection; Robert Powelson, chairman of the Public Utility Commission and Linda Kelly, state Attorney General. According to the suit: Gov. Tom Corbett signed Act 13 into law on Feb. 14, 2012. The amendment requires natural gas drilling companies to reveal the chemicals used in the fracking

process – which involves injecting water and chemicals into Marcellus Shale deposits to free natural gas -- to medical professionals in cases of a medical emergency. Because the identity of the chemicals used in the fracking process is kept secret by drillers, the companies can require a physician to sign an agreement to keep the information he or she is provided confidential. The suit says Rodriguez has treated a number of people who have been exposed to fracking chemicals, including a man injured in a blowout at a drilling site. He alleges the gag rule would preclude him from sharing information with other physicians treating the patients. The suit further notes that Rodriguez is a “willing speaker” who wishes to alert the public to the dangers posed by fracking, and “intends to publicize any threat to public health and safety” he observes from the gas industry. The suit, filed by attorney Paul Rossi of Kennett Square, claims the Act 13 amendment violates Rodriquez’s right to free speech and due process. It seeks an injunction that would bar the state from requiring medical professionals to sign the confidentiality agreement and nominal monetary damages to include attorney’s fees.

Nescopeck OKs generator for sewer pumping station

By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

NESCOPECK – The bid of the Howard Organization of Bloomsburg, $102,600, was officially accepted on Thursday night by borough council for an electrical generator project at a pumping station for the sanitary sewer system. Howard was one of eight firms submitting proposals. According to Stacey Kachurka, secretary/treasurer, the project will be funded by federal hazard mitigation money. The station was damaged in the flooding of 2011. In conjunction with the flood, Kachurka said that a revised borough map, showing newly designated flood plain areas, has been received from federal officials and is on display in the borough office at the youth center.

Adults 65 years and older are at greater risk for influenza and its complications because the im-

so will be widely available for the 2012-2013 season. Using a shorter needle, Fluzone Intradermal vaccine is for adults 18 through 64 years of age, an age group that has among the lowest rates of immunization. “With these influenza vaccine options, our goal is to help improve the immunization experience for patients and their health care providers thus helping to improve immunization rates,” Hoover said. “There are influenza immunization options to meet the needs of everyone 6 months of age and older.”

Families of 29 men killed in explosion in W.Va. honor their loved ones. By LAWRENCE MESSINA Associated Press

WHITESVILLE, W.Va. — On the heels of a West Virginia coal mining death, families of the 29 men killed in the Upper Big Branch mine dedicated a memorial Friday to their fallen relatives and those injured in the April 2010 explosion. An outpouring of support helped complete the memorial a year ahead of schedule, according to the project’s volunteers. But still ongoing is a federal criminal investigation into the worst U.S. coal mining disaster in four decades. The ceremony, which drew public officials along with scores of area coalfield residents, also came as party-line disagreements continue to sideline safety legislation in Congress meant to respond to Upper Big Branch. Kanawha County coal miner Mark Haynes believes his industry has become safer since Upper Big Branch. The 52year-old man is part of a motorcycle contingent that ride in parades to honor those killed. “I know this, that other companies, including the company that I work for, have straightened up their act on a lot of things because of the explosion,” Haynes said. The memorial features a 48foot long black granite monument with life-size reverse silhouettes of each of the 29 miners.

New Pa. voter photo ID card is subject of special hearing Judge must decide whether to block law from taking effect in Nov. 6 election.

By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Lawyers challenging Pennsylvania’s tough, new voter identification law on Friday targeted the viability of a special photo ID card that figures to be central to the state’s claim that everybody who needs a valid photo ID to vote in November will be able to get one. The subject dominated the third day of a hearing in front of Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson, who must decide whether to block the law from taking effect in the Nov. 6 presidential election as part of a wider challenge to its constitutionality. The four-month-old law, championed by Republicans, requires every voter to show a valid photo ID, which is a significant departure from current law. It also is the subject of a furious debate over voting rights

as Pennsylvania is poised to play a key role in deciding the Nov. 6 presidential election, and Democrats accuse Republicans of raising barriers to voting by requiring unnecessary and timeconsuming steps. Plaintiffs lawyers estimate that at least 1 million voters — 12 percent of the nearly 8.3 million who are registered — lack valid photo ID under the law. They question why the photo ID requirement is even necessary, whether every registered voter will be able to get a valid ID before the election, and whether the state is advertising the law and a new Department of State photo ID appropriately and clearly. The special Department of State photo ID card appears tailored to address a core complaint of the plaintiffs. That complaint is that some registered voters do not have the required documents — a birth certificate, a Social Security card and two proofs of residency — necessary to get the most common kind of valid identification under the law, a photo ID issued by the Department of Transportation.

WILKES-BARRE – A suspected rash of canine deaths in a Wilkes-Barre neighborhood could be due to annual surge in the deadly parvovirus, a highly contagious disease that traditionally grows more common in the summer months, Pittston veterinarian Inayat Kathio said Friday. “I have seen within the last 30 days something like three cases,” Kathio said. “That is significant.” Yet he added that cases of parvovirus typically increase around this time of year.

Several veterinarians contacted by the Times Leader also said there has been an uptick in parvovirus cases, though not much more than usually happens in the summer. Kathio said there is an inexpensive vaccine that is highly effective in preventing the disease, which destroys the lining of the intestine, causing the dog to lose appetite, vomit or excrete blood in the stool, and ultimately bleed to death. The problem, Kathio said, is that people either forget to get the vaccine or are unaware it exists. Puppies should receive the vaccine when they are around 8 weeks old, with a booster required every year. Kathio said pit bulls and Rottweilers seem particularly susceptible – Wilson said at least two of the dogs she heard had died were pit bulls. But the veterinarian said it may be because the owners “think these dogs are very macho and don’t need the shot, but the virus does not discriminate.” Because the disease is so contagious and is transmitted through the feces to other dogs, one or two infected animals in a neighborhood could easily lead to further infections in that neighborhood, Kathio said. “When it becomes a problem in a kennel the kennel should be closed down for a few weeks” to avoid widespread contamination, he said. Vaccinations are essential, Kathio said, because once a dog contracts the virus, “They have a 90 percent chance to die.”

Prison denies firing was politics-based Chief is ticketed

Former lieutenant Robert Turner challenges his 2008 dismissal.

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – An attorney for the Luzerne County Correctional Facility has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a former prison guard, saying evidence shows the guard was terminated for engaging in “vile and disgusting” behavior and not for political reasons, as he claimed. In a court motion, attorney Paul Galante says former lieutenant Robert Turner has failed to produce any evidence to support his allegation that he was fired because he had supported the

candidacy of former county Commissioner Maryann Petrilla. To the contrary, there is abundant evidence to support the prison’s position that Turner was fired for sexually harassing two female co-workers and for questionable conduct involving numerous female inmates, Galante says. Turner, of Pittston, filed suit against the prison in 2010, claiming the sexual harassment allegations were untrue and a pretext to fire him because he supported Petrilla, whom he says was a political adversary of former Commissioner Greg Skrepenak. Petrilla and Skrepenak served on the prison board along with former Commissioner Stephen Urban. The board, which over-

saw the prison before the home rule charter took effect, voted unanimously to fire Turner on July 14, 2008. In the motion to dismiss the suit, Galante says the decision was based on sexual harassment complaints filed by Angela Sweet and Leah Beckley, as well as reports from other guards who claimed Turner would frequently spend up to 45 minutes in his office with female inmates with the blinds closed. Guards also reported Turner, while in the control booth, would get on the loudspeaker and ask female inmates to show their body parts, and would frequently allow female inmates to make phone calls from his office. “The avalanche of … reports makes it clear that the plaintiff’s

termination was based on plaintiff’s vile and disgusting behavior and not any alleged political support of commissioner Petrilla,” the motion says. In a response to the motion, Turner’s attorney, Kimberly Borland of Wilkes-Barre, argues the suit should be permitted to continue because there remains a dispute over the veracity of the allegations against Turner, which he denies. Borland cites alleged inconsistencies in statements made by Sweet and Beckley. He also notes that Petrilla had a personal relationship with Beckley and her family, which he alleges influenced her decision to fire Turner. A federal judge will review the motions and issue a ruling at a later date.

Frank DeAndrea Jr. failed to stop at red light; motorcyclist severely hurt, police say. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

HAZLETON – City police Chief Frank DeAndrea Jr. was issued a citation Friday in connection with a three-vehicle crash in May in which a motorcyclist was severely injured, state police at Hazleton reported. He was cited for failing to stop at a red light. The filing of the traffic violation comes after an investigation into the crash by state police. DeAndrea was appointed police chief in March. State police allege DeAndrea, 48, of Hazleton, was driving a Hazleton police 2008 Dodge Durango on Broad Street and failed to stop at a red traffic signal at Laurel Street on May 18. DeAndrea’s eastbound SUV struck a 2007 Suzuki scooter, operated by Walter L. Bloss, of

2nd arrest made in Pittston legion break-in, burglary Patrick R. Shanahan of Nanticoke is arraigned. A woman is also in custody. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PITTSTON – Police arrested a second person they allege burglarized the American Legion on Vine Street earlier this week. Patrick Ryan Shanahan, 20, of East Noble Street, Nanticoke, was arraigned Friday on charges of burglary, criminal trespass, conspiracy to commit burglary, conspiracy to commit criminal trespass, conspiracy to commit criminal mischief and possessing instruments of crime. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack

of $30,000 bail. An arrest warrant was issued for Shanahan on Tuesday when, police believe, the Legion was Shanahan burglarized. Police allege Shanahan and Brandi Balasavage, 26, of Scott Street, Wilkes-Barre, forced their way inside the Legion just before 2:30 a.m. and pried open machines containing coins and bills. According to the criminal complaints: Police heard people running out of the Legion and into

woods. Officers chased two people and arrested Balasavage after she fell down an embankment. Two backpacks and a crowbar were found next to Balasavage on the ground. Police said in the complaints Shanahan and Balasavage pried open a cash register, a music machine and a money change machine. Balasavage was charged with similar offenses and remained jailed Friday at the county correctional facility for lack of $75,000 bail. She allegedly told police she felt Shanahan was taking too long inside the Legion to pry

Butler Township, state police said. State police said Bloss was thrown from the scooter, which slid DeAndrea across the roadway and struck a 2003 Hyundai Sonata, owned by Francesco Correra, of Hazleton. Bloss suffered severe injuries and was treated at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. DeAndrea suffered a minor injury. Correra was not injured. State police cited Bloss with operating a vehicle without an inspection sticker. Citations against DeAndrea and Bloss were filed Friday with District Judge Joseph Zola in Hazleton. DeAndrea did not return a message for comment on Friday. Penalties for failing to stop at a red traffic signal are 3 points against the driver’s license and a fine.

open the machines. It is not the first time Balasavage has been accused of forcing her way into a business and prying open machines containing money. Court records indicate Balasavage was sentenced in November 2010 on charges she burglarized the Anthracite Café on Scott Street, Wilkes-Barre, on Dec. 7, 2009, and Dukus’ Café on Pringle Street, Kingston, on April 8, 2010, prying open jukeboxes, video game machines and an ATM. Preliminary hearings are scheduled on Wednesday before District Judge Andrew Barilla in Pittston.

Down-to-earth beauty

Norma Martinez, an indigenous woman from Peru’s Andean region representing Cuzco, adjusts her crown after winning the ‘Miss Mamacha Peru’ beauty contest in Lima, Peru, Friday. The indigenous beauty contestants were judged based on their traditional dancing, clothing and ethnic food.

PALMER PARK, Md. — A Maryland man who called himself “a joker” and had an arsenal of semi-automatic rifles threatenedtoshootupthebusinessfrom which he was being fired and was wearing a T-shirt that read “Guns don’t kill people. I do,” when first confronted by officers, police said Friday. The man, identified in a search warrant as Neil Prescott, told a supervisor at software and mailroom supplier Pitney Bowes that, “I’m a joker and I’m gonna load my guns and blow everybody up,”

in separate phone calls this week, and investigators who searched the 28-yearold’s apartment Friday morning found several thousand rounds of ammunition and about two dozen firearms. He was receiving a mental health evaluation at a hospital and charges were pending. “We can’t measure what was prevented,” said Prince George’s County Police Chief Mark Magaw. It wasn’t immediately clear when the threat was to be carried out or how seriously it was meant to be taken, but last week’s mass shooting at a Colorado theater during the latest Batman movie — coupled with the “Joker” reference — put police especially on edge and gave

(for) the community to know, that we take all threats seriously. And if you’re going to make a threat, we will take action,” Magaw said. Though there’s no other indication of a link to the Colorado shooting, police believe the joker comments made by Prescott were a “clear reference” to the killings, according to the warrant. Neighbor Wilbert Brinson, who lives in a building across from Prescott’s but did not know him, said he was alarmed by the alleged threats. “It’s an awakening, you know, after hearing what happened in Colorado,” he said. Police would not confirm the man’s identify Friday because charges are

pending. He was receiving an emergency mental health evaluation at a hospital and was taken into custody Friday morning at his apartment in Crofton, near Annapolis, after a supervisor reported the threat. Police checked in Thursday at Prescott’s home, where he was wearing a T-shirt that said, “Guns don’t kill people. I do,” authorities said. Prescott made the threat during a phone call on Monday, then made similar statements in a separate conversation about 15 minutes later, the warrant states. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer. Pitney Bowes spokeswoman Carol Wallace said in a statement that Prescott was an employee of a subcontractor to the company and had not been on any Pitney Bowes property in more than four months.

Priest charged in assault

Philadelphia priest suspended last year has been charged with sexualA ly assaulting a 10-year-old altar boy.

The Rev. Andrew McCormick, 56, assaulted the boy in 1997 in his Northeast Philadelphia rectory, authorities said Friday. McCormick is one of about two dozen priests suspended last year after a blistering grand jury report found many accused priests still in the ministry. McCormick spent three decades as a priest in the Philadelphia archdiocese, and regularly took young boys on trips to Poland, authorities said Friday. “We have reason to believe that there may be other victims,” District Attorney Seth Williams said at a press conference.

Bullied bus aide retires

A New York school bus monitor who was shown in a video being relentlessly bullied by a group of boys says she’s retiring. Karen Klein told The Associated Press on Friday it was a tough decision to leave the job she held for three years, but that it’s time to move on. The 68-year-old suburban Rochester grandmother says she’s not quitting because of what happened on the last day of school in June, when four seventh-grade students taunted her with profanity, insults and threats during a school bus run. A 10-minute video of the episode went viral online and spurred an outpouring of more than $700,000 in donations from all over the world. The Greece school district has suspended the students for a year. TEHRAN, IRAN

Report: Iran stockpiles food

An Iranian news agency is reporting the country has begun to stockpile a three-month supply of foodstuffs for its population. The Friday report by semi-official Mehr quotes deputy industry minister Hasan Radmard as saying the country has been buying wheat, cooking oil, sugar and rice for the food reserve. Radmard said the decision came based on a decree by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in recent weeks. Part of the purchased foodstuffs has already been imported, he added. Iran’s trade with other countries has been hindered since the United States and the European Union imposed a banking and insurance embargo on Tehran over its disputed nuclear program. The West suspects Iran is pursuing nuclear weapon, a charge Iran denies. BOSTON

Sunken German sub found

Divers have discovered a World War II-era German submarine nearly 70 years after it sank under U.S. attack in deep waters off Nantucket. The U-550 was found Monday by a seven-man group, some of whom have been searching for several years. It was the second trip in two years to the site by the team of divers, which was organized by New Jersey lawyer Joe Mazraani. He said the group used sonar to locate the wreck in deep water about 70 miles south of Nantucket. In April 1944, the U-550 torpedoed an Allied gasoline tanker, but was fatally damaged by depth charges from an escort vessel. Forty-four Germans were killed, and 25 aboard the tanker died.

Fears growing over fate of Syrian city

The battle in Aleppo is one of the most important of the 17-month-old uprising.

Syrians hold antigovernment protest in Aleppo, Syria, also on Friday.

By PAUL SCHEMM Associated Press

BEIRUT — International concern was mounting Friday over a looming massacre as Syrian troops bombarded the besieged city of Aleppo with artillery, strafed it with aircraft and pulled in major reinforcements ready to crush the outgunned rebels. The battle is one of the most important of the 17-month-old uprising. With a population of about 3 million, Aleppo is Syria’s largest city and commercial hub, a key pillar of support for President Bashar Assad’s regime. The rebels controlled several neighborhoods but were facing reports of troops and tanks massing outside the city. The nonstop fighting in Aleppo has already claimed the lives of at least 145 rebels and civilians in the last six days, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay expressed “deep alarm,” saying in a statement that the “reported build-up of forces in and around Aleppo, bodes ill for the people of that city ... it goes without saying, that the increasing use of heavy weap-

ons, tanks, attack helicopters and — reportedly — even jet fighters in urban areas has already caused many civilian casualties.” In at least two formerly rebel-held Syrian towns over the summer, al-Qubeir and Houla, hundreds of civilians were killed after pro-regime militias moved in, according to activists. It has been a difficult two weeks for the Syrian government with rebel assaults first on the capital, Damascus, and then on Aleppo, as well as several high-profile defections and a bomb that killed four top security officials. The government, however, struck back and quashed the assault on the capital with a combination of heavy

weapons and house-to-house searches. Scores of people were killed. Similar tactics were expected in the coming days to keep Aleppo from falling into rebel hands. “I think there will be a huge massacre in Aleppo,” said Michel Kilo, a veteran opposition figure living in exile in Paris. “There will be a terrible revenge against civil society.” He said all of Aleppo, once believed to be a regime stronghold, was revolting against Assad’s regime. His concerns were echoed by British Foreign Secretary William Hague and U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, both of whom called on Assad to immediately halt the attack on Aleppo.

Treating HIV early is crucial to fighting AIDS International conference says early intervention is also a good financial investment. By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Call it a triple win for fighting the AIDS epidemic: Treating peoplewithHIVearlykeepsthemhealthy, cuts their chances of infecting others, and now research shows it’s also a good financial investment. The International AIDS Conference closed Friday with the message that getting treatment to more of the world’s 34 million people with HIV is key to curbing the epidemic, short of a vaccine and cure that still are years away. “It is unacceptable” that scientifically proven treatment and prevention tools

“People used to think there was no way we can do this. For the first time we’re optimistic that we can.”

Dr. Diane Havlir Conference co-chair

aren’t reaching people who need them most, Nobel laureate Dr. Francoise BarreSinoussi, co-discoverer of the AIDS virus and new president of the International AIDS Society, told the meeting’s closing session. Spreading treatment will be hugely expensive up-front, but Harvard researchers said Friday that the investment would actually save hard-hit South Africa some money over five years, as savings from treating AIDS-related illnesses exceed

the medications’ price. Eventually those savings will be overtaken by the costs of treating millions for decades, but treatment-as-prevention still is highly cost-effective, said Dr. Rochelle Walensky of the Harvard Center for AIDS Research. “People used to think there was no way we can do this,” said Dr. Diane Havlir of the University of California, San Francisco, who co-chaired the world’s largest AIDS meeting. With both scientific and financial validation, “for the first time we’re optimistic that we can.” But new U.S. data show how hard effective treatment is, even in developed countries. Here, most HIV patients have access to treatment, and guidelines say they all should be offered it right after diagnosis. Yet just one in four have their infections under control, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday. Young people and blacks fare the worst.

WASHINGTON — High unemployment isn’t going away — not as long as the economy grows as slowly as it did in the AprilJune quarter. Weak consumer spending held growth to an annual rate of just 1.5 percent, even less than the 2 percent rate in the first quarter. And few expect the economy to accelerate in the second half of the year as Europe’s financial woes and a U.S. budget crisis restrain businesses and consumers. The growth estimate Friday from the Commerce Department suggested that the U.S. economy could be at risk of stalling three years after the recession ended. Economists generally say even 2 percent annual growth would add only about 90,000 jobs a month. That’s too few to drive down the unemployment rate, which is stuck at 8.2 percent. “The main takeaway from today’s report, the specifics aside, is that the U.S. economy is barely growing,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at BTIG LLC. “It’s no wonder the unemployment rate cannot move lower.” Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, expects the unemployment rate to end this year — and next year — at 8.3 percent. He said he foresees no decline in unemployment because of how tepid he thinks economic growth will remain: 2.2 percent for all of 2012 and 2 percent for 2013. Some economic data improved over the course of the April-June quarter, while others worsened. Hiring, for example, rose slightly from April to May to June. But home sales weakened. Stocks rose as investors shrugged off the sluggish U.S growth and focused instead on pledges from European leaders to preserve the union of the 17 countries that use the euro. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped more than 200 points in late-afternoon trading. Broader indexes also gained. The lackluster economy is raising pressure on President Barack Obama in his re-election fight with Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. But few think the Fed, the White House or Congress can or will do anything soon that might rejuvenate the economy quickly. Many lawmakers, for example, refuse to increase federal spending in light of historically large budget deficits. No president since Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the depths of the Great Depression, has been reelected when the unemployment rate exceeded 8 percent.

over London landmarks and a waving statue of Winston Churchill — the queen in a salmon-colored dress, Bond dashing as ever in a black tuxedo — before leaping into the inky night over Olympic Park. At the same moment, real skydivers appeared as the stadium throbbed to the James Bond theme. And moments after that, the monarch appeared in person, accompanied by her husband, Prince Philip. Organizers said it was thought to be the first time she has acted on film. “The queen made herself more accessible than ever before,” Boyle said. In the stadium, Elizabeth stood solemnly while a children’s choir serenaded her with “God Save the Queen,” and members of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force raised the Union Jack. Boyle sprang another giant surprise and picked seven teenage athletes for the supreme honor of igniting the Olympic cauldron. Together, they touched flaming torches to trumpetlike tubes that spread into a ring of fire. The flames rose and joined elegantly together to form the cauldron. Fireworks erupted over the stadium to music from Pink Floyd. And with a singalong of “Hey Jude,” Beatle Paul McCartney closed a show that ran 45 minutes beyond its scheduled three hours. Organizers said the cauldron would be moved Sunday night to the corner of the stadium where a giant bell tolled during the show. Boyle turned the stadium into a giant juke box, with a nonstop rock and pop homage to cool Bri-

tannia that ensured the show never caught its breath. The high-adrenaline soundtrack veered from classical to ircant” and a snippet of its version of “God Save the Queen” — an anti-establishment punk anthem once banned by the BBC. The encyclopedic review of modern British music continued with a 1918 Broadway standard adopted by the West Ham football team, the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t

Get No) Satisfaction” and “Bohemian Rhapsody,” by still another Queen, and other tracks too numerous to mention, but not to dance to. The evening started with fighter jets streaming red, white and blue smoke and roaring over the stadium, packed with a buzzing crowd of 60,000 people, at 8:12 p.m. — or 20:12 in the 24-hour time observed by Britons. Boyle, one of Britain’s most suc-

cessful filmmakers, who directed “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Trainspotting,” had a ball with his favored medium, mixing filmed passages with live action in the stadium to hypnotic effect, with 15,000 volunteers taking part in the show. Actor Rowan Atkinson as “Mr. Bean” provided laughs, shown dreaming that he was appearing in “Chariots of Fire,” the inspiring story of a Scotsman and an En-

glishman at the 1924 Paris Games. There was a high-speed flyover of the Thames, the river that winds like a vein through London and was the gateway for the city’s rise over the centuries as a great global hub of trade and industry. Headlong rushes of movie images took spectators on wondrous, heart-racing voyages through everything British: a cricket match, the London Tube and the roaring, abundant seas that buffet and protect this island nation. Opening the ceremony, children popped balloons with each number from 10 to 1, leading a countdown that climaxed with Bradley Wiggins, the newly crowned Tour de France champion. Wearing his yellow winner’s jersey, Wiggins rang a 23-ton Olympic Bell from the same London foundry that made Big Ben and Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell. Its thunderous chime was a nod to the British tradition of pealing bells to celebrate the end of war and the crowning of kings and queens, and now for the opening of a 17-day festival of sports — London’s record third as host. The show then shifted to a portrayal of idyllic rural Britain — a place of meadows, farms, sport on village greens, picnics and Winnie-the-Pooh, A.A. Milne’s bear

who has delighted generations of British children tucked warmly in bed. But that “green and pleasant land,” to quote poet William Blake, then took a darker, grittier turn. The set was literally torn asunder, the hedgerows and farm fences carried away, as Boyle shifted to the industrial transformation that revolutionized Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries, the foundation for an empire that reshaped world history. Belching chimneys rose where only moments earlier sheep had trod. The Industrial Revolution also producedterrifyingweapons,and Boyle built a moment of hush into his show to honor those killed in war. “This is not specific to a country. This is across all countries, and the fallen from all countries are celebrated and remembered,” he explained to reporters ahead of the ceremony. “Because, obviously, one of the penalties of this incredible force of change that happened in a hundred years was the industrialization of war, and the fallen,” he said. “You know, millions fell.” Olympic organizers separately rejected calls for a moment of silence for 11 Israeli athletes and coaches slain by Palestinian gunmen at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

by the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. There are four other unidentified person cases from Luzerne County listed on the namus website. A June 13 discovery of a woman in woods in Hazle Township; an unidentified African American woman, estimated to be 30 to 50 years old, found wrapped in a blanket along Interstate 80 in Dennison Township on Sept. 17, 1996; Skeletal remains to a white female, 34-47 years old, found in a remote area in Sugarloaf Township on Dec. 20, 1994; and an African American woman found near Interstate 80 in Black Creek Township on Aug. 13, 1974. Lisman said the discovery of the pelvis and left leg on Richard’s Island is a mystery. “It was found within weeks of the high water. It could have been there for two years or washed down from the New York state line, or it could have been buried and the high water exposed it. We don’t know,” Lisman said. A month before the skeletal remains were found, the Susquehanna River reached a record crest of 42.66 feet on Sept. 9. Many areas north of Richard’s Island were flooded, causing an enormous amount of debris to flow down river. When the river receded, debris littered the shores of the river and the many islands. Lisman said Larksville police searched national missing person’s reports but were unsuccessful in finding a match. Richard’s Island is visible from the Carey Avenue Bridge connecting Hanover Township with the West Side and is owned by Luzerne County government. According to The Times Leader archives, baseball and soccer fields were located on Richard’s Island before the 1930s. It was also farmed for produce during the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Wildlife Conservation Officer Gerry Kapral stops by the shooting range in Bear Creek Township as part of his routine patrol last week. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is increasing patrols at the range in light of recent vandalism incidents.

Wildlife Conservation Officer Gerry Kapral goes over posted regulations with Matthew Perry of Dupont at the shooting range on Suscon Road in Bear Creek Township. The range has been the site of recent vandalism.

RANGE Continued from Page 3A

“To fix it all, it’s the time more than anything.” Sussenbach said the region has two employees that take care of five shooting ranges in the area, in addition to habitat work for wildlife. When they have to spend time making repairs on ranges than making improvements to habitat, Sussenbach said that’s a problem. “It drags down everything else we’re trying to accomplish,” he said. “Other than routine maintenance, the ranges should really be

self-sufficient.” But some aren’t. In 2010, less than a year after the Game Commission spent $78,422 to upgrade the Bear Creek range, someone drove a vehicle over several metal target posts and a safety barrier, temporarily closing the facility. Whether it’s vandalism on the Bear Creek range on State Game Lands 91 or litter that needs to be picked up at the range on SGL 183, problems could have dire consequences for the law abiding shooters who use the ranges. “The amount of time and effort put into the ranges weekly, at some point there may be that tough decision: Do we need to put the resources into a range that is

“The permit has reduced the amount of damage because people are paying to use the range now. It makes people aware that this isn’t free and it can be taken away.”

destroyed weekly?” Sussenbach said. Jay Delaney, a member of the PGC’s Board of Commissioners representDelaney ing the Northeast Region, has long been an advocate for the shooting ranges. He supported a 2010 measure requiring range users to possess either a valid hunting license or a $30 annual permit. Money from permit sales is used for range maintenance and repairs. Sussenbach said since the permit was implemented, the number of occasional range users has

decreased and, to a degree, so has the amount of vandalism. But it still occurs on a regular basis at some ranges. “The permit has reduced the amount of damage because people are paying to use the range now. It makes people aware that this isn’t free and it can be taken away,” Sussenbach said. Delaney said the problems are

caused by a small minority, and most range users are law-abiding sportsmen. He said the board isn’t considering closing ranges, but admitted the reoccurring damage is frustrating. “We spent a lot of money to upgrade and improve the ranges, and I’m not ready to throw that away,” Delaney said. “Is it fair to close a range when 95 percent of

the users are law abiding? “I’m convinced sportsmen would never do anything like this, but there’s that element out there that really doesn’t care and has total disregard for the use of that property.” The Game Commission is beefing up its efforts to catch that element, Sussenbach said. Wildlife Conservation Officers devote a significant amount of patrol time in the summer to surveillance at the ranges, he said, and anyone caught vandalizing a facility will be charged to the fullest extent allowed. “If we can pursue misdemeanor charges under the Crimes Code, that’s the direction we’re going to take,” Sussenbach said.

Pa. appeals court ruling on zoning for gas drilling Seven municipalities say law improperly benefited the oil and gas industry. The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Two state agencies on Friday appealed a court ruling that threw out new limitations on the ability of municipalities to use zoning rules to control natural gas drilling activity. The Public Utility Commission and the Department of Environmental Protection, both controlled by Republican Gov. Tom Corbett’s appointees, filed the appeal one day after Commonwealth Court had issued its 4-3 decision that the law’s changes unfairly affected people who live near drilling activity. The appeal asked the state Supreme Court to review whether the plaintiffs were entitled to sue, whether the ruling was based on sound law and whether the lower court should have stopped the law’s provisions from being enforced. Seven municipalities and others sued over the 5-month-old law, arguing it improperly benefit-

ed the oil and gas industry and took away their power to protect landowners. Corbett issued a statement saying the law was constitutional and should be upheld. “The provisions struck down by the Commonwealth Court are critically important for job creators who are employing more than 240,000 Pennsylvanians, for landowners seeking to exercise their property rights and for local governments looking for guidance on how they may reasonably regulate oil and gas operations,” Corbett said. “The provisions are alsointegraltotheenhancedenvironmental standards and impact fee revenue portions of the act.” The municipalities that successfully sued to overturn the law said one of the most problematic provisions in the law was a requirement that drilling, waste pits and pipelines be permitted in all other zoning districts, including residential, with certain buffer limits. The next step is for the high court to establish a briefing schedule in the case.

‘Ohno!’ Bristol to return on ‘Dancing’ show Los Angeles Times

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Bristol Palin is back. So is Kirstie Alley. ABC on Friday announced the 12 cast members for this fall’s "Dancing With the Stars." It’s not a new lineup, however, but a return of celebrities from the previous cycles of the show. Palin and Alley - two of the most attention-grabbing contestants of recent years - are among those scooting back to the dance floor. Palin, an activist and the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, bestowed high ratings on the show during her run two years ago. Alley is the former "Cheers" costar known for her battles with her weight. Other contestants include previous "DWTS" winners Kelly Monaco, Drew Lachey, Emmitt Smith, Apolo Ohno, Helio Castroneves and Shawn Johnson. Melissa Rycroft, Joey Fatone and Pamela Anderson also will return. Rounding out the cast will be a "wild card" pick selected by the audience, chosen from previous contestants Carson Kressley, Kyle Massey and Sabrina Bryan.

COURT BRIEFS SCRANTON – Two men were sentenced in federal court Thursday on charges they were peddling cocaine and heroin in Wilkes-Barre and Plains Township. Madison White, 32, of Hempstead, N.Y., and Shateek Ferguson, 35, of Plains Township, were sentenced to eight years in federal prison on drug trafficking charges, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Scranton. White was initially charged by state police at Wyoming in November 2008 when a large amount of cocaine and heroin and three firearms were found inside a residence on Hopkins Street, Plains Township, according to the criminal complaint. A court record stated White was in possession of cocaine with a street value of $200,000 when he was arrested by troopers. Luzerne County prosecutors withdrew the case against White when he was indicted by a federal grand jury on drug trafficking charges. Ferguson, David Burr, 33, of Long Island, N.Y.; Michael McIntyre, 30, of Elmont, N.Y., and Lenny Clements, 33, of Market Street, Pittston, were also indicted by a federal grand jury on similar charges. Burr was sentenced in March to 60 months in federal prison. McIntyre was sentenced on July 12 to 47 months in prison, and Clements was sentenced June 4 to 94 months in federal prison.

LONDON — Mitt Romney struggled Friday to stem political fallout at home after insulting Britain’s handling of the London Games. The stumble at least briefly pitted the Republican presidential candidate against America’s strongest ally while limiting his ability to capitalize on more troubling U.S. economic news. At the same time, President Barack Obama used his office to try to take advantage of the Republican’s missteps abroad, praising Britain for its Olympics preparations one day and sending money to Israel the next — just as Romney prepared to visit that nation. The confluence of events — just as the world focused on London’s opening ceremonies — confounded Republicans and tickled Democrats. People in both parties wondered aloud how the former Massachusetts governor could have complicated the opening leg of a three-nation tour carefully crafted to highlight his diplomatic strengths and personal Olympic experience. “You have to shake your head,” GOP strategist Karl Rove said Friday on Fox News. It was unclear just how much damage Romney, who had hoped

to burnish his limited foreign policy credentials, did with an American electorate that hasn’t fully tuned into the race. But he certainly stoked talk in political circles in Washington, if not elsewhere, of political tone-deafness, and he raised questions about his readiness to stand on the world stage. Publicly at least, Romney’s campaign shrugged it all off as having little impact on American voters and moved aggressively to

change the subject. His aides hastily organized a conference call with reporters to discuss his schedule in Jerusalem and preview a speech there two days away. British press reports laced with lingering resentment targeting Romney’s initial comment — that problems with Olympic preparations were “disconcerting” — made it difficult for him to turn the page. A day after London Mayor Bo-

ris Johnson assailed Romney by name in a rally before tens of thousands, Britain’s Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, the cabinet minister in charge of the Olympics, lashed out at him. “When we have the opening ceremony tonight and we tell the world that eight of the world’s top 10 sports were either invented or codified in Britain — and only two in America — I hope Mr. Romney is watching,” he said Friday.

The Obama campaign was airing an ad for American audiences during the opening ceremonies featuring Obama promoting his middle-class political pitch. “I believe that the way you grow the economy is from the middle out,” Obama says in the ad, echoing a standard campaign refrain. “I believe in fighting for the middle class because if they are prospering, all of us will prosper.” AP PHOTO With the ad, Obama guarantees himself a presence during openthe former Massachusetts gover- led the organizing committee for ing ceremonies despite the free nor was happy to see steps being the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake media Romney might get by being there in person. taken to enhance security cooper- City. ation with Israel. “Unfortunately this bill does BLIC – HEMINGWAY – CARRERA – LACOSTE – JAI KUDO – NINE WEST – TURATI – BANANA REPUBLIC – ACUVUE OASYS – NIGHT & DAY – AIROPTIX AQUA nothing to address yesterday’s evasiveness from the White House on whether President Obama recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which raised doubt about the president’s commitment to our closest ally in the region,” said Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Friday he is releasing an additional $70 million in military aid for Israel, a previously announced move that appeared timed to upstage Republican rival Mitt Romney’s trip to Israel this weekend. The stepped-up U.S. aid, first announced in May, will go to help Israel expand production of a short-range rocket defense system. The system, known as Iron Dome, has proved successful at stopping rocket attacks fired at Israeli civilians from close range, including from Gaza. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly ahead of the president. Obama announced the new military assistance as he signed a bill in the Oval Office expanding military and civilian cooperation with Israel. Obama said the bill underscores the United States’ “unshakable commitment to Israel.” The White House focus on Israel this week comes as Romney prepares to visit Jerusalem. The presumptive GOP nominee is a critic of Obama’s policy toward Israel and has promised to ramp up U.S. aid to the Jewish state, although Obama officials say the administration already provides record levels of funding. A Romney spokeswoman said

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama reminisces about taking a wrong turn and getting lost. Fumbling to fold a map. Dashing to Kinko’s to copy campaign fliers. The president’s re-election campaign increasingly is sounding like a nostalgia tour. His speeches stroll through elections past, serving up fond memories of his days running as a political unknown, identifying early political inspirations and reminding voters that, win or lose, this will be his last campaign after 13 appearances on the ballot since 1996. “I’m term-limited,” he tells crowds — a flat statement of the obvious that always gets a laugh. “You get a little nostalgic and you start thinking about your first political campaigns.” These are not the casual adlibs of a candidate suddenly turning wistful, but a rhetorical device designed to transport Obama back to the days when he was the kind of ordinary guy voters felt they could relate to, long before he rode in limousines and flew on Air Force One. “Sometimes I couldn’t find a parking spot and so I’d end up being late, and if it was raining I’d have to fumble with my umbrella and I’d come in kind of drenched,” Obama told a crowd in Oakland, Calif., earlier this week. “There were these things called maps, because we did not have GPS,” he told a chuckling crowd in Portland, Ore., the next day. “And they were on paper, and you’d have to fold them. You’d unfold them and then trying to fold them back was really difficult.” The unwritten subtext: I’m just like you, and my policies flow from our shared experiences. Mitt Romney, he’s a rich guy whose policies would benefit the elite.

rhetoric and director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. It’s also a rejoinder to Romney’s own characterizations of Obama as isolated in the presidential bubble and out of touch with the economic concerns of ordinary AmeriObama cans. Obama uses his reminiscing riffs to trace a direct connection between his biography and those of the voters he met in early campaigns. The older couples, he says, reminded him of his grandfather who served in World War II and his grandmother who worked a bomber assembly line. The single moms, he says, reminded him of his own mother, who worked to put herself and her two kids through college. The working couples, he says, reminded him of his wife’s parents. “I would be traveling and I’d meet people, and I’d say, you know what, their story is my story,” Obama told a crowd in Texas this month. Robin Lakoff, a professor emeritus of linguistics at the University of California-Berkeley, said Obama’s goal in getting “all personal, fuzzy-wuzzy and nostalgic” is to recreate an intimacy with voters. Lakoff, who reviewed Obama’s speeches and commented by email, said both the president’s Kenyan ancestry and his cool personality make it especially important for him to cement a personal connection to voters. “That is not to say his self-revelations are false — I think they are genuine — but they are designed to do this particular essential job,” she said. At 50, Obama has been running for something every few years since 1996, when he was first elected to the Illinois Senate.

OTHER OPINION: ACADEMICS

Is education too elementary?

HERE IS A common belief, particularly in the nation’s more affluent neighborhoods, that teenagers are swamped with homework and school-related commitments. Some would have you believe that U.S. students are working around the clock and at great risk to their health and well-being to deal with the daunting academic load. But while that might be true for some, just how widespread is this phenomenon? According to a recent report, just the opposite is going on. Using data collected from student questionnaires, a recent report from the Center for American Progress found that for many teens and preteens, school is simply too easy. Far from being overworked, they are hardly breaking a sweat in some of their most important subjects. Take eighth grade. According to biennial surveys administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, 51 percent EDITORIAL BOARD

of eighth-grade civics students and 57 percent of eighth-grade history students say their work is often or always too easy. Even math can be a breeze for at least one out of every five students – at least that’s what 12th-graders say. And it’s not just a question of easy material. In many cases, students aren’t being asked to do much at school or home either. Almost one-third of eighthgraders reported reading fewer than five pages a day either in school or from material assigned as homework. Nearly 40 percent of high school seniors say they have to write about something they’ve read at school rarely, or at least no more often than twice per month. There are limits, of course, to how much one can surmise from the self-reporting of teens. But the survey results do suggest that there is room for greater rigor in many public school classrooms, whether it’s elementary, middle or high school. The Baltimore Sun

Writer knocks lawmakers for campus drilling votes

vote recently was taken in the state House of Representatives to decide whether unconventional gas drilling (fracking) should be allowed on colleges and university campuses in the Pennsylvania state-run system. Among our local representatives, only Karen Boback and Tarah Toohil voted in favor of this measure. The methods associated with high-volume hydraulic fracturing have been associated with numerous instances of water contamination, as well as a variety of serious health problems. This industry first got off the ground in Pennsylvania when unscrupulous “landsmen” descended upon small rural communities and offered the residents variable amounts of money in exchange for the right to drill on or underneath their properties. Now many of these people live in homes that have been significantly devalued, while the money they got from the drillers is insufficient to purchase another home. Our legislators should demand environmental and health studies be done before any more development takes place. But when it comes to granting permission to drill on college campuses in Pennsylvania, all it takes is enough lawmakers in the pocket of the industry. I wonder if representatives Boback and Toohil will get to sit alongside state Sen. Joseph Scarnati at next year’s Super Bowl?

You can’t count on city to have accountability

n a recent article in The Times Leader, it says that Wilkes-Barre is keeping better tabs on its fuel and few discrepancies remain. There shouldn’t be any discrepancies! I love the “for instance”: 230 gallons of gasoline were removed, but the log shows 234.7 gallons were dispensed. Over or under, it’s unacceptable. OK, city officials, you go to a store and write a check for $230. What do you write in your book that you spent? A year from now there could be hundreds, or even thousands, that don’t add up. Solution: Appoint someone to be accountable, then fire him or her if not doing the job. Rich Novis Wilkes-Barre

Tea Party, supporters ready to oust Obama

here is our country headed? In this important election year, we need to ask: Do we still want a land of opportunity, or do we want to live under government control? Recently, at a mini-mart, there was a woman using her welfare card to buy cigarettes, potato chips, lottery tickets and batteries for her cellphone. She didn’t have to worry about her children; they were at a city park being watched and fed by the government. This might be the only meal they get today, but mom gets her smokes! Now we have a president who is running for re-election on this theme. He wants people to rely on government to tend to their needs. He wants government to control its people. What has President Obama actually done for the American people? The economy is a mess, unemployment is at record highs, people have lost their life savings and homes! Yet, he wants to be re-elected. He has done nothing for the black community, and he doesn’t need to. He fooled them with handouts and smooth talk. He owns them and he has their support. But he needs more. He promised Hispanics amnesty, knowing he has no power to do that. Yet, if he can fool them for their votes, that is all he wants. But what he didn’t anticipate was attentive voters. Now, more than ever, people are paying attention. They are seeing through him and his rhetoric. He has cre-

All we need is a few smart, concerned people to give us the change we actually can believe in. God bless America. Bill Dress Wilkes-Barre

Sunday hunting backers argue without merit

recent article by Tom Venesky (“Sunday hunting proposal stalled,” July 15) addressed the issue of expanded hunting on Sundays and the group, Hunters United for Sunday Hunting (HUSH), which is seeking to sue the state over the issue. The issue of expanding hunting on Sundays is a dead issue for a number of reasons, primarily because the overwhelming majority of Pennsylvanians oppose the idea. There is nothing illegal about the current restrictions, as hunting already is allowed for coyotes, fox and crows on Sunday. This eliminates the so-called “blue law” argument that HUSH is utilizing. HUSH repeatedly refers to the right to hunt in its arguments, yet that is a fallacy, as there is no right to hunt in Pennsylvania. The state Supreme Court already has ruled, unanimously, on the issue. Nor is it illegal that the Game Commission has no authority to expand hunting on Sunday. The commission was created by the Legislature to oversee the management of all wildlife for all Pennsylvanians. This is in accordance with Article 1, Section 27 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, which states, in part, “Pennsylvania’s public natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come.” Expanding, let alone having open hunting (HUSH’s ultimate goal), does not benefit anyone but the single-digit (and shrinking) minority of “sportsmen” who seek the expansion – all at the expense of far larger segments of the population. HUSH is nothing more than a hunting activist organization that is backed by the sport/trophy hunting industry. These are groups which, for generations, have had virtually every wish granted by the state Legislature. Now they are seeking to have the courts grant them what the Legislature, which is representing the people, will not: essentially full control of public property by unelected bureaucrats. The suit, if and when it is filed, should be tossed out, as it has no merit. David Kveragas Newton Township

crimes, according to the NSVRC, don’t do so until many years after the alleged incident, such as the several victims involved in the Sandusky case. “Sexual violence thrives in silence,” Cox said. “People don’t want to talk about these crimes because they are very personal. They involve the highest violations of your body.” Reality finally sets in Janet MacKay, executive director of the Luzerne County Victims Resource Center, said it is troubling that it took the Sandusky case to bring child sexual abuse to the forefront. “As advocates, we weren’t being heard until the realities were shown,” MacKay said. “Unfortunately, in a very dramatic way.” MacKay said the Sandusky case may allow victims to feel more comfortable coming forward with allegations, and places like the VRC can help. “We are here. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week,” MacKay said. “You can call and talk to someone confidentially and start the healing process.” Organizations like the NSVRC and Stop It Now, a national help line based in Northampton, Mass., receive dozens of phone calls daily seeking help and guidance on how to recognize sexual abuse of children and what steps to take to prevent it. Jenny Coleman, help services coordinator at Stop It Now, said

ky abuse allegations. He said it came after a Department of Education letter sent to all schools in April 2011 asking that they check such policies to ensure compliance with federal statutes. The protection of children policy, however, was spurred by what happened at Penn State, McGonigle said. “With everything in the news regarding what was happening with Penn State, it certainly raised the question for us ‘are we doing the right things here?’ ” Some departments on campus had their own policies in place, such as the Department of Education, regarding student teachers, and Volunteer Services, regarding community outreach. But McGonigle said an overall, school wide policy seemed to make sense.

The damage forced the course to temporarily close Friday. It reopened around noon. For most residents the biggest issue was loss of power. At the height of the storm, PPL Electric Utilities had about 77,872 customers without power in its 29county coverage area, including 4,000 in Luzerne County, said company spokeswoman Melinda Stumpf.

UGI Electric reported about 600 customers in Luzerne County were without power at some point Thursday into Friday. In a press release, Kirk Blumenau, a spokesman for PPL Electric Utilities, said it expected to restore a substantial number of customers to service Friday, but warned that damage in some areas – particularly the Susquehanna County region – is extensive and the pace of repairs may be slow. As of 10:17 p.m. Friday, 285 PPL customers remained without power in Luzerne County. The largest outages were in Exe-

ter Township, 128; Sugarloaf Township, 47; Black Creek Township, 34; and Hazleton, 26. Blumenau said the company faces a large number of individual trouble cases. That means the pace of repairs will be slower in some areas because each individual job will restore only a few customers. The company has dispatched a total of 810 linemen, electricians, tree crews and logistics crews to work on the restoration. It is also requesting mutual assistance from other utilities in the mid-Atlantic.

since November when the Sandusky case became news, phone calls increased 130 percent. Parents or caregivers may wonder how to determine if their child has been a victim of sexual abuse. There are dozens of indicators, Coleman said, though every child communicates in a different way. Changes in sleeping, eating and bathing behaviors, and sudden mood swings are the most common warning signs, Coleman said. Other children may act out more explicitly, playing games involving a female and male role, or asking questions about specific body parts. “Younger children who were once toilet trained may not be toilet trained anymore (if abuse has occurred),” Coleman said. “Others may (begin) to take off their clothes … or refuse to be with a person in privacy.” Cox cited other behaviors of victims, such as the victims in the Sandusky case. “Like bed wetting … some Sandusky victims said they were doing it in their teens and hid it from their parents,” Cox said.

a normal and unhealthy response.” Families may also fear being involved with child protective services or children and youth services, because of the label that comes with it. “Because abusers are known to kids, sometimes (abuse is not reported) because of a fear of losing that person,” Coleman said.

one, she said: Family, neighbors, teachers or anyone who has access to children. “Sexual abuse is a gross misuse of trust,” Cox said. “Children tend to trust these people in these positions.” Cox said abusers often live a double life, such as Sandusky: a community-minded man in public and a sexual abuser and a “master manipulator” in private. Abusers are “folks who know the child, who are familiar with the family and may even have identified the child’s vulnerabilities,” Coleman said. “Which is one of the reasons it’s hard for children to tell, because it’s a confusing situation.” She also explained parents may not report abuse if another parent is the alleged abuser because of a potential loss of income, being homeless or if there is a fear of violence. “It’s easier to believe it’s not happening,” Coleman said. “It’s

Education key to prevention Knowledge and education about child sexual abuse is the first step in prevention, both Cox and Coleman say. If sexual abuse has already occurred, the next most important step is reporting what has happened so that rehabilitation can begin as soon as possible. Both Cox and Coleman said if someone calls their organization seeking help, the caller is asked about what is happening, what information might be helpful to them and is then put in touch with authorities, a rape crisis center or other organization that can provide support. For once, Cox said, she feels like people are finally talking about child sexual abuse, due to the Sandusky case. “Victims feel like they can be believed. That people will be held accountable. That Sandusky was convicted sends out a strong message to all survivors,” she said. Cox said one in five people will be affected by sexual violence in their life. “Everywhere you go, there are victims of sexual violence,” she said.

She noted the training sessions were presented by the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance. “The college has offered similar training sessions in the past. … Additional sessions will continue to be offered in the future,” Nelson said. She could not say they were a response to what happened at Penn State but the Nanticokebased school has responded to the Penn State scandal. “In response to what occurred at Penn State University, LCCC also is in process of implementing a new Mandatory Reporting Policy. The policy is in the draft stage and is being reviewed by the college’s solicitor,” Nelson said.

A Diocese of Scranton priest who was once assigned to several parishes in Luzerne County, including a Catholic high school, will face 32 charges in Tioga County Court on allegations of sexually assaulting an altar boy. The Rev. Thomas P. Shoback, 60, of Wilkes-Barre, appeared Wednesday at a preliminary hearing before District Judge James E. Carlson in Mansfield. After a hearing that included testimony from the victim in the case, Carlson forwarded all 32 charges, which include involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, endangering the welfare of children and indecent assault, to county court. Shoback, who was charged in June, will next appear for a formal arraignment before a Tioga County judge on Aug. 20. Shoback remains free on $35,000 bail and is represented by attorney Christopher T. Powell, Jr., of Scranton. State police said the alleged assaults took place from 1991 through 1997 when the boy was 11 to 17 years old while Shoback

was assigned at St. Mary’s Parish in Blossburg, Tioga County. Shoback was suspended by the diocese in November when allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced. According to the diocese, Shoback was ordained in 1977 and served as pastor of St. Mary and St. Andrew Parish in Blossburg from February 1989 until July 1997. He was previously assigned at Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary in Jermyn, Lackawanna County; St. Joseph’s Parish and Sacred Heart Parish in Plains Township; Holy Redeemer Parish in Exeter Township; St. Joseph’s Parish in Hazleton; Nativity BVM in Plymouth Township; Bishop Hoban High School in Wilkes-Barre, and parishes in Monroe and Lycoming counties. Shoback was a teacher at Bishop Hoban from 1984 to 1989. According to The Times Leader archives, Shoback’s brother, Edward J. Shoback, a former Diocese of Scranton priest who worked for more than 20 years at Luzerne County parishes and schools, was suspended in 2004 amid similar allegations of sexual abuse. Edward Shoback reportedly admitted to those allegations and was defrocked by the Vatican in 2009.

Big-bucks PSU donor reconsidering support It’s too soon to judge the impact of the Sandusky scandal, officials say.

By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE— One major Penn State donor says he might write the university out of his will, while others say neither the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal nor recent unpopular actions by the university’s leadership are making them rethink their financial support for the school. But how those issues resonate with alumni and other financial supporters — groups whose philanthropy has sparked a building boom on campus in recent years — could have repercussions for decades to come. The university says it’s too soon to gauge the effect on fundraising of the recent decisions to tear down Joe Paterno’s statue and acquiesce to severe NCAA penalties, but there are signs of discontent. “I happen to believe that giving money to this particular board of trustees and this particular president is flushing it down the toilet,” said Chicago venture capitalist George Middlemas, a $10 million-plus donor and Joe Paterno loyalist since they met in the 1960s. “The university says, ‘Well, our contributions are up.’ That’s because people are fulfilling their pledges, but they’re not going to offer any new pledges, as far as I can tell.” Middlemas said this week he had plans to donate 50 percent of his residual net worth to Penn State after he died, but was reconsidering that decision. “The longer these bozos stay in their position, the easier it’s going to be for me to sign the paperwork that’s in process right now,” he said. Super donor Lloyd Huck, a retired Merck & Co. chairman and former president of the school’s trustees, called the scandal “a terrible situation,” but he sees it as confined to several people and not something that will cause him to halt his contributions, which at last count totaled more than $40 million. “It has not changed my attitude towards the university itself,” Huck said. “It’s still a great institution.” Bob Capretto, an Oakmont, Pa., real estate investor and donor who played defensive back on Paterno’s first team, isn’t satisfied

with a recent report conducted by former FBI Director Louis Freeh but said that won’t stop him from giving in the future. He said Paterno wouldn’t want that. State College developer Galen Dreibelbis, listed among Penn State’s $5 million-plus donors, said he hasn’t decided if his philanthropy will continue, but either way, he does not want any of his money being used to pay a $60 million fine imposed by the NCAA. “I’m going to do what the NCAA didn’t do,” Dreibelbis said. “I’m going to wait to see all the things that happened, and see what the clear effect of this (is), and then I’ll evaluate for myself.” Penn State announced earlier this month that its $2 billion For the Future campaign, set to conclude in 2014, has reached $1.6 billion ahead of schedule, and that it had received $209 million over the previous year, the secondhighest total in its history. Ira Stolzer, a retired Hallmark Cards Inc. marketing executive and a member of the university’s national championship gymnastics team in the 1970s, has been active in fundraising among former Penn State athletes as part of the campaign. “I can tell you I’ve been on the phone nonstop for a week, and the single theme is: how can we help?” said Stolzer, who lives in Kansas City, Kan. Some alumni are considering a court challenge to the NCAA sanctions, although their legal standing isn’t clear. Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, a group critical of the trustees formed in the wake of Sandusky’s scandal, is pursuing what it calls an “exploration of legal recourse.”

Sir Paul, James Bond, Mary Poppins and Queen star

By JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

LONDON — Five things to know about Friday, the day the London Olympics kicked off with the opening ceremony. • Surprise torch lighters highlight dazzling start to games. • Legally blind archer sets world records. • The 2012 version of the Dream Team meets the press. • A headscarf standoff poses a problem for a Saudi judo fighter. • The IOC calls London’s prep for games “excellent.”

Who will light the flame? The question vexed Olympic fans for years. Roger Bannister? Steve Redgrave? David Beckham? Nope, nope and nope. Seven teenage British athletes lowered torches to trumpet-like tubes that spread into a ring of fire during one of the signature moments of director Danny Boyle’s $42 million show. The copper “petals” then rose skyward and came together to form the elegant cauldron. Fireworks erupted over the stadium to music from Pink Floyd. With a singalong of “Hey Jude,” Beatle Paul McCartney closed a show that ran 45

minutes beyond its scheduled three hours. The other big highlight? A clever video that gave the illusion of Queen Elizabeth II parachuting into the Olympic Stadium with James Bond, aka actor Daniel Craig playing Britain’s most famous spy. And a multitude of Mary Poppins characters floated over the stadium’s field. Earlier Friday, Im Dong-hyun broke his own record in the 72-arrow mark and helped South Korea set a team record in the ranking round. “This is just the first round, so I will not get too excited by it,” said Im, who

among the trees and greenery. During training, a squirrel carrying a nut in its mouth scurried through the sand on one court. A lush, picturesque park surrounds spectacular Horse Guards Parade, and to this day only Queen Elizabeth II herself can ride through one nearby gate. Not enough grandeur for you? Also right outside is Westminster Abbey. Defending gold medalist American Todd Rogers is quick to acknowledge the beach volleyball players have it better than most. “Other athletes are probably annoyed because their sport has been around 100 years and we’re the spoiled children. From my perspective, it’s great,” Rogers said. “I think beach volleyball is

LONDON — From Big Ben to the London Eye. From Nelson’s Column to Buckingham Palace. Every view from the Olympic beach volleyball stadium is London in all its majesty. Getting inside won’t be easy, either. Players knew they would be competing in the showcase venue of these Summer Games. And now that they’ve finally seen it in person, almost every one of them is in awe heading into Saturday’s opening matches of pool play. “It’s really perfect, that’s the only word I can say,” Swiss coach Stefan Kobal said Friday as he scouted a Russian opponent at one of six sideby-side practice courts tucked See VENUE, Page 5B

has 10 percent vision in his left eye and 20 percent in his right. Im bettered the record he set in Turkey in May by three points with a score of 699. He also combined with Kim Bub-min and Oh Jin-hyek, smashing the record for 216 arrows with a total 2,087. That was 18 better than the mark South Korea set in May. Im has said that when he looks at the targets, he sees colors with blurred lines between them. He doesn’t wear glasses in competition, saying he relies on distinguishing between the bright colors of the target. See OPENING, Page 5B

CHICAGO -- The chances may be slim, but Bill O’Brien is holding out hope just the same. The Penn State coach is optimistic that strong compliance with the NCAA may eventually result in a reduction of the sanctions that hang over his football program. O’Brien said O’Brien Friday at Big Ten media days that he believed, after listening to NCAA President Mark Emmert speak Monday, that leniency was possible. “Yes. He said that in his press conference, that they could come in and revisit (the situation),” O’Brien said. “And that could go either way. If we’re not crossing our T’s and dotting our I’s, that could go either way. “But if we are behaving, and acting like the program that we’re going to act like, then I’m under the understanding that they can come in and revisit that.” In a session with reporters on Monday after announcing the See CHANGES, Page 8B

CHICAGO -- With a background as an orthopedic surgeon, Dave Joyner looks at Penn State’s situation in terms of an operation and rehab. “It’s sort of like you know you’ve got something (wrong) going on and you’re waiting for the diagnosis and treatment,” Joyner Penn State’s acting athletic director said. “And you find out that it’s pretty difficult for you to come to grips with. But once you know what it is, you’ve got to move forward and keep going. The bad thing you know is much better than the one you don’t know. “We had the surgery on Monday. And now it’s our job to get up and get going.” See RULES, Page 8B

Granderson, Yanks give Suzuki grand welcome The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Curtis Granderson and Yankees fans gave Ichiro Suzuki a grand welcome to the Bronx. Raul Ibanez and Russell Martin hit two-run homers, Granderson capped the scoring with an eighth-inning grand slam and New York powered past the Boston Red Sox 10-3 on Friday night. In Suzuki’s first game wearing Yankees pinstripes, Phil Hughes (10-8) gave up three solo homers but little else in seven innings to help the Yankees beat Boston for the sixth time in seven games this year — New York’s best start to a season against the Red Sox since opening 6-0 in 1994. Blue Jays 8, Tigers 3

Zack Greinke traded from to Angels ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Zack Greinke has been traded by the Milwaukee Brewers to the Los Angeles Angels for rookie shortstop Jean Segura and two minor league pitchers. The Angels also sent right-handers Ariel Pena and RHP Johnny Hellweg to Milwaukee in the deal announced Friday night before Los Angeles played Tampa Bay. By landing Greinke, Los Angeles acquired perhaps the most prized pitcher available before Tuesday’s trade deadline. The 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner is 9-3 with a 3.44 ERA in 21 starts for Milwaukee this season. The 28-year-old right-hander can become a free agent after the World Series.

ATLANTA — Brian McCann hit a three-run homer off Cole Hamels and Ben Sheets continued his impressive comeback to lead the Atlanta Braves past the Philadelphia Phillies 6-1 on Friday night. Hamels (11-5), making his first start since signing a sixyear, $144 million contract on Wednesday, set a career high with six walks in his shortest start of the season. He allowed five runs, three earned, on four hits with seven strikeouts in five innings. Padres 7, Marlins 2

MIAMI — Miami natives Yasmani Grandal and Yonder Alonso powered the San Diego Padres to a 7-2 victory over the host Marlins on Friday night. Grandal hit a bases-clearing triple, and Alonso drove in two runs to back the pitching of Kip Wells (2-3). Carlos Zambrano (5-9) allowed five runs — four earned — and three hits in five innings as the slumping Marlins lost for the eighth time in nine games. Cardinals 9, Cubs 6

Matt Carpenter and Allen Craig also connected off Travis Wood (4-6), whose five homers allowed matched the Cubs

record.

Brewers 6, Nationals 0

MILWAUKEE — Corey Hart and Aramis Ramirez homered to back another fine pitching performance by Mike Fiers as the Milwaukee Brewers snapped a seven-game losing streak with a victory over the Washington Nationals. Hours after trading ace Zack Greinke to the Los Angeles Angels for rookie shortstop Jean Segura and two Double-A pitchers, the Brewers ended Washington’s six-game winning streak. Pirates 6, Astros 5

HOUSTON — , Drew Sutton scored on a wild pitch in the ninth inning to propel the Pittsburgh Pirates to a win over the hapless Houston Astros. The loss was Houston’s 11th straight, tying the franchise record for most consecutive losses in a season. The Astros, who have baseball’s worst record, (34-67) last lost 11 straight in 1995. Reds 3, Rockies 0

DENVER — Bronson Arroyo pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Ryan Ludwick scored twice and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Colorado Rockies for their eighth straight victory. Ludwick, Scott Rolen and Ryan Hanigan had two hits apiece for the Reds, who have won 12 of 14 since the All-Star break and tied Washington for the best record in the National League.

Laird blasts two homers as SWB tops Charlotte The Times Leader staff

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A fourrun first inning was the perfect impetus for the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees, who held off the Charlotte Knights for a 6-4 victory Friday night. Brandon Laird belted two home runs, his 11th and 12th of the season, in the win. His tworun shot in the first inning extended the Yankees’ lead. His solo shot in the fifth staked the visitors to a 6-3 lead. Seven Yankees had hits, paced by Laird’s two. The Yankees opened the scoring with all of their first-inning runs coming with two down in the frame. Darnell McDonald stole second and used two errors to score in front of Laird’s homer. Francisco Cervelli singled, stole a base and scored on Kevin Russo’s single to make it 4-0. After Charlotte scored two runs in the bottom of the second, Gustavo Molina’s double in the third plated Cole Garner to extend the Yankees’ lead to 5-2. Knights’ first baseman Dan Johnson hit a solo shot in the fourth inning for his 23rd home run of the season. Adam Warren scattered six hits over six innings to earn the win, improving to 6-6. He struck out six and walked one. Ryota Igarashi worked a scoreless ninth inning for his fifth save. Charles Leesman (8-9) took the loss, allowing six runs -- two earned – and eight hits. The Yankees face Pawtucket for four games to close out the month. The first two are in Rhode Island, starting tonight. Monday and Tuesday, the teams will play in Rochester, N.Y. With a 60-47 record, the Yankees are a ½-game ahead of the Paw Sox in the IL North, with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs sitting 21⁄2 games back.

Today’s debut was created to spark interest in the NASCAR weekend at the famed track. By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — For drivers, Saturday’s first-ever NASCAR Nationwide Series race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway represents a chance to run on perhaps the most famous track in racing. It is also one of the tougher tests they will face all season. The historic 2.5-mile oval has hosted NASCAR’s top-level series, now known as Sprint Cup, since 1994 but didn’t add the second-tier Nationwide Series until this year. For many drivers in the field, it will be their first time racing at Indy — and they are in for a challenge. “This place is not forgiving at all,” Nationwide points leader Elliott Sadler said. “It’s fast, the corners are sharp. You’ve got to be on your money, I think, to run some fast laps here.” Sadler raced at Indianapolis 12 times in Cup, including a thirdplace finish in 2004 and a fourthplace finish in 2008. He said the track’s combination of long, high-speed straightaways and sharp, unbanked turns make it one of the toughest to master. “Banking makes us drivers look good, because it makes it more forgiving,” Sadler said. “The banking can catch you if you’re tight or if you’re loose and you can move around on the track. Here, you’ve got to run the bottom, it’s very flat so if you over-

drive the corner, the car takes off on you, there’s no banking to catch you. It’s a very tough, hard, momentum place to race at, and it’s going to take these guys a race or two to understand what they need, especially when you’re (in) traffic with 42 other cars around you.” Tough? Sure, but Sadler is thrilled to be back. Without a Cup ride, he didn’t get to race at Indy last year. “You know how you don’t ever know how much you’re going to miss something until you’re not there? It killed me not to be here at the big track last year,” Sadler said. The challenge certainly doesn’t diminish the thrill of getting to run at Indy for brothers Austin and Ty Dillon, the grandsons of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress. “I asked them both what it felt like,” Childress said. “I could see the smile on their face. They didn’t have to even say anything (to show) how special it was to be able to drive around and to be able to come to Indianapolis to race because there is so much history.” Austin Dillon said drivers who have raced at Indy in Cup will have an advantage on Saturday. “I think it’s very tough, because it invites you into the corner because there’s so much grip. The grip level is high, it’s very smooth — and it’s easy to overdrive.” Having Nationwide race at the “big track” — instead of at Lucas Oil Raceway, a nearby short track — is part of Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials’ push to put more action on the track in hopes

of boosting sagging attendance. NASCAR drew huge crowds at Indy for more than a decade. And while drawing more than 100,000 fans is impressive for any event, attendance at the Brickyard has steadily declined in recent years. “(It) just raises the level of the entire sport having other motorsports being able to participate here,” said Chip Ganassi, who owns teams in NASCAR and IndyCar. “It’s still the world’s center of racing, and still arguably the greatest race course in the world in any configuration. ... The electricity at this place, it doesn’t matter what you show up in. It’s a magical center of motorsports.” After having Nationwide cars practice Thursday, Indianapolis took a one-day break from NASCAR on Friday to host the Grand Am sports car series on the road course, part of which winds through the track’s expansive infield. The Nationwide race is Saturday, with the Cup series on Sunday. “I think it’s neat that they’re running so many (different series) with the road course and the oval,” Sadler said. “To me, in today’s world, with ticket prices and people not able to travel, this gives them a really good bang for their buck, to have this many different styles of racing and cars going on at the racetrack.” Danica Patrick’s IndyCar days helped her develop an appreciation for the track’s place in history, and hopes others in Nationwide will walk away from Indy feeling the same way. “I’m determined to make them all love it, and to make them see what I see,” Patrick said.

Criticism already hits NBC

VENUE Continued from Page 1B

Lack of live stream could be boost to opening ceremony ratings for TV network. By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — Even before NBC signed on for its coverage of the Summer Olympics in London on Friday, it drew a storm online for its decision not to stream the opening ceremony digitally. Despite the grumbling, it’s a decision that may pay off for the network. NBC Universal has promised to stream live online every athletic competition in the Summer Games for the first time. But the opening and closing ceremonies were always planned to be shown on tape delay, a network spokesman said. Coverage began shortly before 8 p.m. on the East Coast, about the same time that spectators in London — which is five hours ahead of New York time — were filing out of Olympic Stadium. NBC Sports spokesman Christopher McCloskey said the ceremonies “are complex entertainment spectacles that do not translate well online because they require context, which our award-winning production team will provide for the large primetime audiences that gather together to watch them.” Many people took to Twitter to complain Friday that they felt cheated by the decision, and provided online links to other outlets, like the BBC, that were streaming the ceremony online. The website for Business Insider said “boo” about NBC’s decision and offered two links. The popular sports website Deadspin posted a link to the BBC stream and urged its followers to watch it as a way of sending NBC an obscene gesture. CNN’s Piers Morgan, who was tweeting details about the ceremony in the late afternoon, tweeted shortly before 7:30 p.m. ET: “Laughable that America is yet to start watching the Olympic ceremony on TV. Seriously.” But NBC executives will gladly trade the complaints for a repeat of what happened four years ago in Beijing. The network similarly offered the opening ceremony then on tape delay and there were many complaints, although less widespread because of a less wired world. But all the talk about the ceremony in the hours before it was televised created a buzz, and the 34.9 million people who watched it was the largest opening ceremony audience in 12 years.

Boyle’s grand creation spans all genres of kingdom’s influential music By JILL LAWLESS Associated Press Writer

LONDON — It’s not a concert, Danny Boyle stressed. It’s about the athletes. In a very real way, though, the director of the Olympic opening ceremony was wrong. While sports are the heart of the Olympics, music — loud, bold, world-conquering British music, amplified in the most global of settings — was the booming beat Friday night. One of Boyle’s stated aims was to showcase “the best of us” — and ever since the Beatles and the Rolling Stones appropriated American blues, country and rock and remade them into something new, the best of British has been music. Music ran like a river through Boyle’s “Isles of Wonder” extravaganza, which depicted a Britain

OPENING Continued from Page 1B

The U.S. men’s basketball team held its opening press conference, arriving a bit late after the bus drove to the wrong gate. Though the gold-medal favorites include some of the world’s

brutally wrenched from its rural past by industrialization and upheaval before being thrust into a fast, uncertain, exciting new world — all propelled by the throb of homegrown music. It began gently, with Edward Elgar, the hymn “Jerusalem” and “Danny Boy” — but soon started to rock. Olympic ceremonies often play it safe. But Boyle, who brought in the electronic duo Underworld as musical directors, gave his show a cheeky edge. The Sex Pistols, once the outrageous face of punk, were included with their song “Pretty Vacant.” Boyle even slipped in a few bars of the Pistols’ snarling “God Save the Queen” (“the fascist regime”) early on — although he respectfully did it before Queen Elizabeth II herself had entered the stadium. “Normally it would be brushed

over, but the punk spirit which is in Britain was written through the ceremony,” he said. “Anyone cynical about this has no lust for life. It’s just bloody brilliant.” In parts, it was like a Union Jack jukebox — a medley of tracks from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Queen, the Specials and the Jam, the Stone Roses and Eurythmics, and what seemed like dozens more. The musical melange continued during the athletes parade, with members of the 204 national teams circling the track to everything from “West End Girls” by the Pet Shop Boys and “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele. And of course the evening AP PHOTO could not have been complete without a Beatle — a rousing live Paul McCartney performs "Hey Jude" at the end of the opening performance from Paul McCart- ceremonies for the Summer Olympics on Friday in London. ney, still rocking at 70.

most recognizable athletes, they tried to act like regular Olympians, touring the athletes village Thursday. “Itgotcrazy.Itgothectic,butina fun way,” forward Carmelo Anthony said. “Everybody wanted pictures. We was out there just having fun, mingling with the other athletes, not just from the U.S. but from other countries. It feels good

to be loved around the world.” Talkswereunderwaytoallowjudoka Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani to compete after the sport’s governing federation said she would not be allowed to wear a headscarf. Saudi Arabia, which sent its first two female athletes to the games, had only agreed to let women participate if they adhered to the king-

dom’s conservative Islamic traditions, including wearing a headscarf. Nicolas Messner, a spokesman for the International Judo Federation, said there was “good collaboration” to find a solution among judo officials, the International Olympic Committee and Saudi Arabia. Messner said wearing a head-

scarf could be dangerous because the sport includes chokeholds and strangleholds. IOC President Jacques Rogge praised the local organizing committee, saying the preparations were “excellent.” “The key ingredients for successful games are good security, a good village, venues and transportation that works,” he said. “If we

just so fortunate. Over every Olympics, everyone has raved about the venue, from Sydney on. We have such a historical site.” Beach volleyball in the heart of central London will highlight Olympic competition Saturday, along with the first swimming medals. American rivals Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte will face off in the 400meter individual medley. Two-time U.S. defending gold medalist pair Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor will be the feature match in the beach volleyball grandstand. “It’s amazing. Just this area in itself is so special,” said Walsh Jennings, who has had two boys since Beijing. “You have the Horse Guards right there and the changing of the guard and you get to see this and all the historic culture. Really, really cool. I’ve been picturing this for so long, and to see it in person and have it come alive is awesome.” It doesn’t hurt that the 6foot-2 star can walk right up to a 25-foot color statue of herself in a blue bikini showing off her ripped abdominal muscles. Many volunteers stop to take a closer look, and fans are sure to do the same. And to think this open-air venue came together in an astonishing 35 days, beginning June 18 at the conclusion of the queen’s annual Trooping the Colour birthday parade. Architect Peter Richardson and lead project manager Duncan Firth spent Friday performing final checks and working out any potential last kinks. “For a venue of this magnitude, built in this time scale, it has never really been done before,” Firth said. “The Americans have said this is the equivalent of having beach volleyball on the lawn of the White House. This will never happen again.” And it will be torn down after the games. “It’s here for12 days and then it’s coming down. It’s so disappointing,” Richardson said. “The original concept was to keep London as the backdrop.” He pulled it off beautifully — and what more might a fan want, without the queen waving from the Horse Guards’ balcony, of course? The public address announcer sure had fun with his final tuneup under gray skies and light rain Friday, repeatedly calling a British victory as the ever-changing music blared through an empty 15,000-seat arena — biggest yet by far for beach volleyball. Walsh Jennings and MayTreanor will open Olympic pool play against Australians Tamsin Hinchley and Natalie Cook, who is competing in her fifth and final Olympics. “We’re so lucky,” said Hinchley, a three-time Australian Olympian who got married and had 21⁄2-year-old son, Arley, after Beijing. “We’ve heard it’s the best venue. The backdrop, from the London Eye and all the buildings, you know you’re in London.” Hinchley handed over her two allotted tickets for Saturday’s first match to her relatives to fight over who got to be in the seats to see it. Rogers plans to purchase two extra tickets when he plays so he can take care of his supporters. Those who do get in for any portion of the tournament are in for a treat. “It’s beautiful,” said Dutch coach Michiel Van Der Kuip. “I’ve never seen something like this before.” have all that, we will have very good games. I am optimistic and confident.” Asked to compare London’s readiness to previous host cities. “I would think in terms of readiness these games equal the readiness of Sydney and Beijing definitely,” he said. “But the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Ask me again at the closing ceremony.”

Legally blind South Korean sets a world record Legally blind archer Im Dong-hyun set the first world records of the London Olympics, breaking his own record in the 72-arrow mark and helping South Korea set a team record in the ranking round on Friday. Im broke the record he had set in Turkey in May by three points with a score of 699, hours before the 2012 Games official opening ceremony. “This is just the first round, so I will not get too excited by it,” said Im, who has 10 percent vision in his left eye and 20 percent in his right. He combined with Kim Bub-min and Oh Jin-hyek, smashing the record for 216 arrows with a total 2,087. That was 18 better than the mark South Korea set in May. The 26-year-old Im has said that when he looks at the targets, he sees colors with blurred lines between them. He does not wear glasses in competition, saying he relies on distinguishing between the bright colors of the target. He won gold medals in the team event at the 2008 Beijing and 2004 Athens Olympics. Spectators hoping to catch a glimpse of the action were turned away from Lord’s cricket ground. Preliminary rounds were listed as non-ticketed, so several thousand spectators showed up at the venue expecting to get in for free. A spokeswoman for the London Games organizing committee said tickets were not advertised or sold for the qualifying events and “we have always made it clear” that the early competitions were not open for spectators. WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

US team ready to start Diana Taurasi says she and the U.S. women’s basketball team are ready to get rid of the anxiousness and nervousness that come with being at the Olympics. She says the only way to do that is play games — which begin Saturday. The U.S. begins its quest for a fifth straight gold medal against Croatia, a team the Americans beat 109-55 a week ago in Istanbul. The U.S. has only had two weeks together to train since the WNBA season went on its Olympic hiatus. But anything less than another gold medal would be considered a colossal failure for the overwhelming favorite US team. Despite the lopsided exhibition victory, Taurasi expects the Croatians will play better Saturday. Croatia star Marija Vrsaljko will play after missing the blowout to get married. BOXING

Turkish official dies LONDON — Olympic boxing official Garip Erkuyumcu was found dead in his London hotel room, the International Boxing Association said Friday. “Garip was loved and respected by everyone who knew him and he will be missed by all of us at AIBA,” said C.K. Wu, the governing body’s president. Turkish Boxing Federation head Bayram Altug said a colleague found 73-year-old Erkuyumcu dead in his bed on Thursday. A heart attack was suspected but autopsy results were expected to determine the exact cause of death, the Turkish boxing body said. Erkuyumcu was a member of AIBA’s refereeing and judging commission and would have been assisting boxing referees at the London Olympics. Erkuyumcu’s body will be flown back to Turkey next week, the national federation said.

LONDON — The U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team is favored to win again, and some think it’s a matter of the players just showing up. If that’s the case, they could be in real trouble. Showing up anywhere has been difficult for the Americans, whose traveling woes have nothing to do with a call by the referee. Friday they arrived nearly 20 minutes after the scheduled start for their opening press conference, making anxious photographers wait extra long for that first click when LeBron James, Kobe Bryant

and the rest of the reigning gold medalists walked in. “Two days we’ve had nothing but issues with transportation. No one’s fault in particular, just general,” USA Basketball chairman Jerry CoUP NEXT langelo said. “We’ve USA vs. France been through so 9:30 a.m. many neighborSunday hoods, when this is TV: NBCSN over we’re going to be able to do a little history on the city of London.” The bus carrying the U.S. team Friday drove to the wrong gate, which when the heightened security is factored in at an Olympicsvenue,mayaswellbethewrong city.Theteamhadasimilarproblemonits first trip to see the basketball arena Thurs-

day, along with going to the wrong place after its arrival in London from Barcelona, Spain. U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski joked that he wants his team to be as consistent with its shooting as the team’s bus drivers have been with their loss of direction. “So far we’ve gotten lost on every one of ourbustrips,sorightnowitfeelschaotic,” he said. They’ll hope to have an easier time figuring out the route to the gold medal podium. Before arriving in London, things had been going more smoothly for the Americans. They fit in five exhibition victories around the casinos of Las Vegas, a meeting with President Barack Obama in Washington before taking a day off to enjoy the sun and shops of Spain on Wednesday. U.S. guard Russell Westbrook looked like he had just come from Barcelona,

wearing shower shoes along with his U.S. basketball warmup suit. The Americans aren’t quite the megastars they were four years in Beijing, where basketball was wildly popular. Still, they’re different than almost all the other athletes here, that being reinforced when the communications official reminded media that the press conference time shouldn’t be used for player autographs or personal photos. But the players are trying to act like regular Olympians, touring the athlete’s village Thursday and meeting fellow American competitors such as sprinter Tyson Gay and swimmer Jason Lezak. “It got crazy, it got hectic, but in a fun way,”forwardCarmeloAnthonysaid.“Everybody wanted pictures.

Lochte, Phelps talk of pool By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

LONDON — The retiring star with more gold medals than anyone. The friendly rival who intends to be the biggest star in London. Michael Phelps vs. Ryan Lochte. What a way to start eight days of swimming at the Olympic pool! The two Americans will go headto-head Saturday in the 400-meter individual medley, a grueling race encompassing all four strokes, an appropriate way for one or the other to fire the first salvo in this most intriguing of rivalries. “A very rough race,” said Phelps’ coach, Bob Bowman, smiling at the possibilities. “It will be a coach’s dream, but also a spectator’s dream. It will be fantastic.” For Phelps, it’s a chance to add to his record total of 14 gold medals and become the first male swimmer to win the same event at three straight Olympics. But Lochte is the defending world champion and defeated Phelps rather easily at the U.S. trials last month. Lochte is certainly not lacking for confidence. “Right after Beijing, I had a four-

year plan for getting here to London,” he said. “I thought I could go a lot faster. I knew I could, just because of the training I’ve done. That’s UP NEXT why I knew this Finals of was going to be men’s, my year.” women’s Lochte start400 IM ed following the 8 p.m. today same training TV: NBC regimen used by burly athletes who can compete in Strongman competitions — rolling large tires, tossing kegs, dragging chains. He believes it’s made him stronger than anyone else in the pool. He believes it’s the edge he needs to beat Phelps, and everyone else. “It’s going to pay off,” Lochte said. “I just know it.” The Phelps-Lochte showdown won’t be the only event on the opening night of swimming. The home crowd will be cheering on Britain’s Hannah Miley in the women’s 400 IM, where she’ll be

competing against American teenager Elizabeth Beisel and Californiabased Katinka Hosszu, the latest in a long line of Hungarian medley specialists. The men’s 400 freestyle figures to be a tussle among China’s Sun Yang, South Korea’s Park Taehwan and France’s Yannick Angel. Ranomi Kromowidjojo leads the Flying Dutch in the women’s 4x100 free relay, an event the Netherlands won at the last Olympics and the past two world championships. The Americans will look to challenge with a relay squad that potentially includes Natalie Coughlin, who won six medals in Beijing but didn’t even qualify for an individual event for these games. The 29-yearold was knocked off at the U.S. trials by an emerging wave of teenage stars, including Missy Franklin. Without a strong showing in the preliminaries, she might not even get a chance to swim the evening final. But, if the Americans finish on the podium, a morning swim would be good enough to give Coughlin the 12th medal of her career, tying Dara Torres and Jenny Thompson as America’s most decorated female Olympian.

American squad is so good, other teams stop and stare By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer

LONDON — Aly Raisman can almost feel the eyes on her as she and her U.S. gymnastics teammates finish their training session. Sure enough, she’ll look up and see a couple of heads in the doorway. Russians, usually. Sometimes the Romanians. “We always try and do a little better,” Raisman said with the hint of a smirk, “maybe intimidate them a bit.” If there were any doubts the American women are the ones to beat at the London Olympics, they’ve been erased by the amateur espionage the last few days. When the Americans opened Thursday’s podium training session with a barrage of Amanars, the high-scoring vaults that might very well decide the

gold medal, a Chinese coach made sure he had a frontrow seat. Russian coach Alexander Alexandrov just happened to make his way to the bathUP NEXT room when the Americans were Women’s doing vault one qualifications day, and couldn’t 7 p.m. Sunday resiststoppingfora TV NBC minute or two. “They watch us, we don’t watch them,” U.S. coach John Geddert said. Now, before the Americans are accused of being overconfident, they’ve had their London plan in mind for a while now. The gymnasts upgraded their routines months ago, and those

monster vaults have been in the works for several years. If the Russians, Romanians or defending Olympic champion Chinese unveil some new tricks, there’s not a whole lot the Americans can do about it now. And, let’s be honest, the Americans have earned the right to strut a little. They are, after all, the reigning world champions, beating Russia by four points last fall in a rout. JordynWieberistheworldall-around champion, and her only two losses since 2008 have been to American teammates. McKayla Maroney won the vault title at worlds, while Raisman took home a bronze on floor exercise and was fourth in the all-around. Gabby Douglas upstaged Wieber at the Olympic trials, and her uneven bars performance is a better show than anything those circus acrobats can do.

LONDON — Mark Cavendish spent the first three weeks of July carrying bottles for Bradley Wiggins, dedicating himself to the Londoner’s ambition to win the Tour de France. The world champion’s hard work paid off, and now it’s his turn to take the limelight as an entire country is expecting the “Manx Missile” to win the first British gold medal of the London UP NEXT Olympics. Men’s Cavendish, the road race world’s fastest 5 a.m. today sprinter, has spent TV: NBC the last 12 months training for Saturday’s 155-mile Olympic road race, which passes some of London’s most iconic landmarks and — more important to the riders — features the tricky Box Hill climb in Surrey that the peloton will tackle nine times. If he remains in contention after the last climb, about 25 miles from a pancake-flat finish, the 27-year-old sprinter has got all it takes to win the final sprint down the Mall. “I know if I make it to the sprint I’m the fastest rider in the world, but I’m not the fastest climber in the world,” Cavendish said. “I’m confident about the sprint but I’ve got to get to the sprint.” Cavendish changed his training regimen and lost nine pounds this year to be able to stay with other contenders in Box Hill, where the race is expected to be won or lost. With coach Rod Ellingworth, he carefully previewed the narrow roads leading up to the top of the small ascent, riding it several times and paying attention to every detail of the course to be ready on Saturday, when a million of people are expected to line the route. Cavendish said the timing of the race and the huge expectations from the home nation don’t add weight on his shoulders, yet he admitted feeling some pressure over the past few days. “An Olympic medal, regardless if it’s the first or last on offer, it’s an Olympic medal for your team,” he said. “It’s easy to get emotional about it. I’ve been nervous this week. We’ve trained to be able to deal with those nerves and we’ve got to put it to bed. We’ve got a process which we have to adhere to. It’s a process we know if we commit100 percent we’ve got the best chance of winning.” Regarded as the fastest man on a bike, Cavendish has not been as successful on the Tour as in previous years, but still managed to win three stages, including the final one on the Champs Elysees, which is regarded as the world championships for sprinters. “Mark thrives on a big stage,” British cycling performance director Dave Brailsford said. “You’ve got to give him credit for that, and stand back and admire his ability to take on that big stage and deliver time and time again.

for an NCAA clause that allows teams to schedule a 13th regular season game on the road against Hawaii, but that the team is still exploring its options. As it stands now, Penn State’s final game for those next four years will be against Leaders Division rival Wisconsin. With that in mind, Joyner and Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez have agreed to turn that contest into a trophy game, with marketing departments from both schools starting work on names and designs. Most importantly, Joyner said, is that Bill O’Brien will be around to lead the team. O’Brien revealed Wednesday that his contract was automatically ex-

about his starting tailback’s situation. "Our core group of best players has told me they’re coming back," O’Brien said when asked about Redd’s future. Later on Friday, he expanded his thoughts on the man who would be one of the biggest weapons on offense. “I feel like Silas and I have a great relationship,” O’Brien said. “I have a lot of respect for Silas. He’s a heck of a kid and a heck of a player. He has great respect for Penn State. He comes from a great family. So I think I have a very good relationship with Silas.” Sticking around True freshman Nyeem Wartman of Valley View High School announced Friday he would remain at Penn State on his Twitter account. Also pledging to stay were quarterbacks Paul Jones and Steven Bench.

Ex-Penn State players say Freeh report ‘flawed’ officials and the NCAA after the blistering report was released two weeks ago. The report compiled by a team led by former FBI director Louis Freeh accuses school officials, including late coach Joe Paterno, of covering up the abuse to avoid bad publicity. “A grave injustice has occurred over these past two weeks that began with the issuance of the Freeh report,” the email states. “After much review, it’s clear the report is highly flawed, and factually insufficient. Yet, the media, the Board of Trustees, University officials and the NCAA, seem to have read only the conclusions and not the content of the report and have failed to question the report’s evidenti-

ary basis or lack thereof — they have rushed to judgment. As a result, OUR program has been brutally harmed and our Coach has been completely tarnished.” Sandusky, the former longtime defensive coordinator at Penn State under Paterno, was convicted of using his position at Penn State and as head of a youth charity to molest 10 boys over a period of 15 years. He’s awaiting sentencing. Penn State was sanctioned by the NCAA for its handling of the Sandusky case, based largely on the findings in the Freeh report. The NCAA did not conduct its own investigation nor did it wait for criminal cases against two other Penn State officials to play out.

punishment, Emmert talked mainly about the possibility of reopening the issue to impose further penalty, if warranted. “What we, of course, expect and what’s intended by the corrective measures ... is to work with them to make sure that they implement the terms of (the sanctions),” Emmert said. “We have full expectation that all of the terms of that agreement will be implemented. Should they not be, we reserve the right to reopen this case.” Penn State acting athletic director Dave Joyner said he believed that revisiting the consent decree, which outlines the penalties against the Nittany Lions, would only occur in the negative sense. “Certainly the NCAA has the right to re-open … the (consent decree),” Joyner said. “And I think the feeling is, that’s if we don’t do things correctly in following it. It’s never been said that we would open it if we’re doing a really good job. “On the other hand, not being

an attorney, I can’t say whether they’d be permitted to do that or not.” As O’Brien put it, “There’s a lot of questions we have of the NCAA. It’s a constantly evolving situation.” O’Brien, who was hired in January, has inherited a sizable mess brought on by the university’s previous leadership. The aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal has sparked reform and a call for openness, which began before Monday’s judgment by the NCAA. Still only a few days removed from the announcement, O’Brien urged fans and alumni to move forward. “Stop arguing and stop worrying about NCAA sanctions and arguing about what the Freeh report said and get going,” O’Brien said. “Accept the changes. Embrace them. And get ready to support this football team.” O’Brien did say, however, that he understands the frustration and raw emotions that have come from people with Penn State ties this week. Because he has felt some of it, too. “If you’ve been around me, you know I have a little bit of a temper,” O’Brien said. “There

were times, obviously where... you know, I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t a little bit angry. But you waste a lot of time if that’s how you’re going to spend your day.” Instead, O’Brien and his staff have had some brainstorming sessions this week about the future of the program. The walk-on program will likely be expanded because of scholarship reductions, with O’Brien saying he will likely do away with the term “walk-on.” In a similar vein, the Lions may look at more junior college prospects out of necessity, something the team very rarely did under Joe Paterno. And there is still that little matter of the uniforms. O’Brien and players have hinted that they might be changed in some way -- possibly even for the Sept. 1 opener against Ohio. The coach again did not elaborate on any potential changes on Friday. But did he have a message. “It’s a new era. Changes were made in 1966, probably. Right?” O’Brien said, referencing the year Paterno took over as head coach. “Changes are going to be made in 2012.”

tended four years through 2020 because of the NCAA penalties. “We didn’t know if we were going to need to have that, but I think it was a wise move on both his part and our part to do that. Because we didn’t know how this was going to play out. I’m very happy we did that back then, as I’m sure he is, as that lets him do what he has to do in these next four years. “I think he’s the right guy at the right time to lead us.” Joyner said the athletic department will also review the much-debated STEP ticket program (Seat Transfer and Equity Plan) for football games, which requires season-ticket holders to donate to change their seat in

the stadium. “We’ve actually talked to some alums and some of them who have ideas about it, and we’re listening to them,” Joyner said. “It was our intention to take a very long look at the STEP program. We didn’t have enough time this year the way things unfolded. “It’s been my intention to relook at the STEP program for the next season. Now we’ll relook at the STEP program based on what we know the world is right now. So I don’t know what we’ll do, if anything, but we’ll relook at it.’’ With other financial concerns, Joyner said the department is already planning how to deal with the estimated $73 million it will

lose from NCAA and Big Ten sanctions. “It’s not coming from our existing other 30 sports,” Joyner said. “We can’t cut -- and nor would we want to -- anything from those other sports. And so we’ll look at capital maintenance budgets, maybe delay painting some buildings. Look at those things. We’ll probably do bulk of it from an internal loan. And the university does that a lot, not just with athletics.” Penn State will also try to be creative with bringing in revenue. Joyner said the school had previously looked into hosting an outdoor hockey game and the logistics of building a temporary ice rink at Beaver Stadium.

Dow Jones tops 13,000 For a second day, the U.S. stock market powered higher after European leaders, including German chancellor Merkel, pledged to protect the union of 17 countries that use the euro. The Dow Jones industrial average blew past 13,000, a key psychological marker that it hadn’t hit since early May. It wasn’t that there weren’t any troubling signs about the economy. In fact, they abounded: U.S. economic growth was anemic in the second quarter. A measure of consumer sentiment fell in July as people worried about their job prospects. And Facebook and Starbucks dropped sharply after reporting disappointing quarterly results.

Feds: recession not as bad as thought Commerce Department’s Bureau releases new economic revisions.

shrank 4.7 percent from the start of the recession in December 2007 until it ended three years ago. That’s 0.4 percentage point less than the previous estimate of 5.1 percent. The main reason for the revision: State and local governments spent more in 2009 than initially thought. Still, only two previous recessions suffered contractions greater than 3 percent. One was in 1957, the other in 1973. Since the Great Recession ended, growth has been modest at best. From July 2009 through the end of 2011, the economy grew a total of

sion. And growth since the recession officially ended in June 2009 has been slightly less than previous estimates. That’s a reminder of how weak the recovery has been. The revisions were released Friday by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis with its report on April-June growth. Each year in July, the bureau revises the previous three years of data on the nation’s gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy. The changes show the economy

5.8 percent. That’s down from an earlier measure of 6.2 percent. The economy grew at an average annual rate of 0.3 percent from 2008 through 2011, the government said. That’s down from an earlier measure of 0.4 percent. Some quarters were revised significantly. The government says the economy grew at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in last year’s fourth quarter, up from a previous estimate of only 3 percent. That was because companies added more to their stockpiles, and governments spent more.

German culture is reliant on cash, not credit

Pennsylvania is one of 29 states and the District of Columbia that will share a 151 million settlement with McKesson Corp. over allegations the company inflated prices of hundreds of prescription drugs, causing state Medicaid programs to overpay millions of dollars in reimbursements, officials said Friday. The agreement with San Franciscobased McKesson, one of the country’s largest drug wholesalers, settles allegations the company deliberately inflated drug prices by as much as 25 percent from 2001 to 2009.

BERLIN — Head to the checkout at an Ikea in Stockholm to pay for your new leather corner sofa and with the swipe of a Visa card it’s yours. Don’t try that in Berlin — that’ll be (euro) 1,699 ($2,080) in cash please. It’s that financial culture — a deepseated aversion to debt and an emphasis on responsibility — that makes Chancellor Angela Merkel’s hardline approach to solving the European financial crisis so popular in Germany. The attitude shows up in all walks of life, from the daily trip to the grocery store to putting a roof over your head. The economy is so reliant on cash for transactions small and big, a way to ensure you don’t spend more than you have, that Germany pushed hard for the (euro) 500 note to replace its popular 1,000 mark bill when it joined the common currency. Even though Germany is Europe’s largest economy and one of its richest per head, it is last in home ownership with just over 40 percent. That compares to some 80 percent in troubled EU nations like Greece, Italy and Spain, and around 70 percent in Britain and the U.S., where owning your own home is part of the “American Dream.” Germans tend to be instinctively averse to taking out a mortgage. And lenders often demand a 20 percent down payment on a house or substantial collateral. So a culture has sprung up of just renting and holding on to cash. When mortgage debt shot up by more than 20 percent in the 27-nation European Union between 1998 and 2010 — and more than 35 percent in Britain and 60 percent in Ireland — Germany was the only EU nation to see it fall, with a drop of 5.4 percent in that time period, according to the European Mortgage Federation.

Samsung is phone leader Samsung has extended its lead over Apple in smartphones, in part because its new Galaxy phones came out before Apple updated its iPhone, research group IDC said Friday. In the U.S., Samsung’s Galaxy S3 phones work with the faster fourthgeneration, or 4G, cellular networks that major wireless companies have been building. The Galaxy’s screen is larger than the iPhone’s, while the Samsung phone is lighter and thinner. An iPhone with 4G capabilities isn’t expected until this fall.

The pressures on the business had been mounting and the number of customers was decreasing. “It just wasn’t out there,” he said of the lack of business. The location was great, but the business went elsewhere. With the price of gas up, people who shopped at supermarkets weren’t making an extra trip to the bakery, McNeill said. Those who came through the doors were coming less frequently. “Last month you could see everything going down,” said McNeill. So, approaching their 13th year on the boulevard, the couple decided to close. They said goodbye and thanked their customers with a sign taped to the front entrance.

ILKES-BARRE – It wasn’t one thing that led Harold and Sharon McNeill to close the Boulevard Bakery this month. He listed a number of them Friday while standing in the shop’s empty parking lot along Wilkes-Barre Boulevard. The economy wasn’t helping. Neither was the competition from supermarkets, convenience stores and coffee shops. The construction on Coal Street and the boulevard contributed. And so did the $1,200 a month he paid for health insurance for him and his wife. But at 62, his age wasn’t a factor and retirement wasn’t on his mind. “I’ve still got some work in me,” McNeill said.

Our weather will again be in an irritable mood no thanks to having a stubborn zone of low pressure content, keeping the atmosphere unsettled and prone to forming more showers and scattered storms. Conditions will also remain very warm and very humid into tonight. Severe weather is not anticipated for today but at the sound of thunder, the best move is to get indoors. Showers may linger into tonight along with more fog. On Sunday, expect a little more sunshine and still the risk for an afternoon shower. Warm and humid weather will persist most of next week.

An outdoor lighting creation by Kathleen Plate.

By KIM COOK

For The Associated Press

h, summer. There’s something about these warm and languid days and nights that makes many of us want to throw together a little gathering. Picking a cocktail-party theme makes planning the menu and décor more fun. Here are just a few to get your creative wheels turning. Invite your favorite people, add some fairy lights and lanterns and get the party started.

’60s South Beach Showtime’s new “Magic City” TV series, set in mid-century Miami, is inspiration for party décor and music with a retro vibe, served with Cuban-influenced canapés. At Pottery Barn, you’ll find a collection of melamine plates, serveware and coordinating linens in muted vintage tropical prints. Palm-leaf-patterned ceramic serveware in deep blues and olive greens are part of Cindy Crawford Style’s Eden collection at JCPenney. And even if you’re land-bound, craft stores offer shells, coral and starfish you can add to baskets and trays filled with

ery and carrots for a rustic look. Pottery Barn has melamine versions of the iconic Talavera pottery, while Williams-Sonoma has unbreakable dishware in Mediterranean patterns. Small bites are the way to go with any cocktail party; they’re easy for guests to handle, and your food trays will be easier to refresh.

Where to buy green By LORI JOHNSTON The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

ATLANTA – Whether you have a primary residence or vacation home, your personal green spaces can be updated with eco-friendly items. Here are five outdoor products with green qualities. Original Rainwater Pillow The Original Rainwater Pillow, created by Alpharetta, Ga., landscaper Jim Harrington, is an option for homeowners wanting to collect, filter and store rainwater to use in hoses, sprinklers, drip irrigation systems and elsewhere. The automated system comes with the pillow (made of heavy-duty, industrialstrength fabric), filter, pump, remote control and fittings. Most people purchase the pillow for outdoor irrigation, but Harrington is seeing a growing desire for other uses, such as doing laundry and flushing toilets. The pillows can be placed under decks and porches, in crawl spaces and greenhouses. A 1,000-gallon kit is $2,500; a 2,000-gallon kit is $3,500, a 3,000-gallon kit is $4,200. The company website – www.rainwater pillow.com – provides directions for using roof measurements to determine what size kit you need. Wall planter Hang this planter, made of 100-percent recycled plastic bottles, on fences, walls and rails to grow annuals, perennials and edibles. The soft-sided “living wall planter” is breathable and keeps walls from getting wet, according to Woolly Pocket Garden Co. (www.woollypocket.com ). The “Wally” planter ranges from $40 to $150. Sold at EcoDenizen, www.ecodenizen.net. Recycled granite walkways Old granite countertops are getting a new purpose as pavers, patios, outdoor kitchens, walkways and driveways. The pavers are made of 100 percent recycled solid granite, but the textured side of the granite is used, creating a slip-resistant surface, said Matt Dombrowski, owner of Greenstone Recycled Stone Products in Bethlehem, Ga. The company says using 100 square feet of Greenstone Pavers will prevent more than 1,600 pounds of granite waste from entering landfills. Suggested retail price is $5.50 per square foot. www.greenstoneproductsonline.com. Reclaimed-wood outdoor console Atlanta designer and artist Margaret Taylor builds outdoor furniture made of reclaimed wood and welded steel frame. The console, priced at $793, joins dining tables, chairs, benches and other items sold online and at Dryads See OUDOOR, Page 3C

INSET: Colored metal lanterns from HomeGoods.com ($12.99-24.99) can be filled with battery-operated pillar candles for a festive evening look.

Think clotheslines are a relic of a bygone era, a time when our grandmothers slaved over their dainties with stiff birch-wood pins? Think again. Hanging clothes is hot, due in no small part to the rising costs of, well, everything. Between soaring utilitey bills, concerns for the environment and a growing interest in traditional home arts, forgoing the dryer is the newest (oldest) way to tackle laundry. But how does one do it properly? For those of us with more experience rebooting hard drives than hanging socks, our laundry know-how is as fuzzy as a 1940s photograph. Abigail Gehring, author and editor of a number of books on green living skills, including “The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Country Living” and “The Homesteading Handbook,” has this advice to get you started: “The biggest complaint people have with line-dried clothes is that they’re stiff and wrinkled,” Gehring says. She says you can avoid this problem by giving your clothes a good shake, then hanging them with a little space between each item for maximum air circulation. Gehring warns against using fabric softener, saying that 1/2 to 1 cup of white vinegar added to clothes in the rinse cycle will make them lighter and fluffier. “You might notice a faint vinegar smell on your clothes,” Gehring says, “but that can be easily masked by adding a couple drops of essential oil to the wash.” The life of your clothes can be extended by hang drying, but

there are still ways to stretch your favorite shirt if you’re not paying attention. Gehring advises against hanging stretchy knits because they could lose their shape. Instead, she suggests laying them on an elevated drying screen. “In the absence of a laundry screen, I’ve even used a window screen and a couple of bricks,” Gehring says. For less finicky knits, she recommends hanging shirts upside down with pins on the bottom side seams to reduce clip marks. Pants should be draped at the knees and clipped on the sides to keep their shape. To avoid fading and keep clothes soft, Gehring hangs her wash in the shade, as direct sun can bleach fabrics and leave clothes stiff. Emily McClements, a South Bend, Ind., mother who blogs about simple living on her site LiveRenewed.com, prefers direct sun-drying for her army’s worth

of laundry. “My kids are hard on their clothes,” McClements says. “The sun helps bleach out the stains, but doesn’t set them the way a dryer would.” To avoid fading colorful knits, she hangs those items inside out. For small items, such as children’s clothes, McClements suggests doubling up clothes and overlapping pins. With more laundry than space on the line, she says a drying rack can be a great addition for undergarments and socks. Because drying racks are portable, they can be moved into the sun or the shade and offer a great outdoor drying solution for urbanites with small yards or apartment balconies. Despite the benefits of hangdrying in the summer sun, there are a couple of caveats to airing your not-so-dirty laundry. Neighbors may find your clotheslines unsightly, and some communities have even gone so far as to ban the practice. Then there’s the matter of allergies. Clothes hung outside can pick up pollen — a problem for anyone with seasonal allergies. Dr. Kraig Jacobson, an allergist with Oregon Allergy Associates in Eugene, Ore., says allergy sufferers should be mindful of the season when hanging clothes outdoors. “Whether or not it’s safe to hang your laundry outside depends on the time of year, what you’re sensitive to and what part of the country you live in,” Jacobson explains. Before hanging your wash outside, Jacobsen suggests, check the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology’s website at aaaai.org to check pollen counts for your region.

Question: I have three toilets in my ranch house. One of the three toilet bowls always has rust stains, but the other two never do. I know how to remove the stains, but how can I prevent them? Answer: Wadsworth, Ohio, plumber Cathy Geary said a part in the toilet tank may have rusted, perhaps the chain that lifts the flapper. Or a bit of rust could be lodged in one or more of the tiny holes around the rim through which water enters the bowl. Poke around in those holes with a piece of wire to unclog them, she suggested. It’s also possible that the shutoff valve is bad or a piece of rust is stuck in it, Geary said. Replacing it may require hiring a plumber.

Lack of ability to make eye contact betrays woman’s social insecurity Dear Abby: I have an offensive habit of looking people “up and down” when I first meet them, and when I think no one is aware of it. I have tried breaking myself of the habit, but I often don’t realize I’m doing it until I catch myself. I know other people notice. I’m a shy, self-conscious person, but at my age I should be comfortable enough with myself not to allow my insecurities to be so obvious. How can I stop this bad habit? — Ms. Lookie-Loo in Georgia Dear Ms. Lookie-Loo: You may be looking people up and down because your social insecurity makes it

DEAR ABBY ADVICE difficult for you to look them in the eye — which is what you should be doing. As with any habit, breaking it will take practice. When you meet someone, make a conscious effort to look no further down than the person’s shoulders. If you can’t continue eye contact, shift your glance between the person’s mouth and forehead. Dear Abby: My co-workers and I are having a debate and need you to settle it for us. “Anthony” was born in Mexico and spoke Spanish for the

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

first four years of his life. He was then adopted and has lived in the United States ever since. He does not remember any Spanish at all. Anthony says that Spanish is his first language (since it was the first one he learned) and that English is his second. My other co-workers, however, say that Spanish cannot be his first language if he doesn’t know any. Who is correct? — Speaking Up in Indianapolis Dear Speaking Up: If Spanish was the language your co-worker learned in his early childhood, then Spanish was his first language. However, because he has spoken (and thought) only in English since the age of 4, English is his DOMINANT language. Readers, do you agree?

Dear Abby: My wife and I went out to dinner recently at an upscale restaurant in a hotel in a nearby city. During the dinner I asked my wife not to scrape bread crumbs from the tablecloth onto the floor, and to please not use her fingernail to pry something from between her teeth. She became upset with me for saying it. What she was doing embarrassed me. She says I should have waited to tell her. We have agreed to abide by your words. — Embarrassed Husband in Oregon Dear Embarrassed: As long as you couldn’t be overheard, there was nothing wrong with you saying it. In an upscale restaurant, the server is supposed to remove crumbs from the table — not the diner. And if there

was food between your wife’s teeth, she should have excused herself from the table to remove it. (Ick!)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t need a lot of extra bells and whistles to get people to pay attention to you. People will pay attention simply because they are impressed with who you are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re ready for a new view and may wander to find it. Getting off track can be a good thing, especially when said “track” requires that you burn a lot of fuel racing dangerously fast in circles, racecar style. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your personal touch is needed, though the others don’t know they need it until they get a taste. You could say that you create the need by being so awesome at what you do. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You could fall victim to a case of the “what ifs.” The tendency to wonder about different outcomes doesn’t have to have a negative focus. Include some positive hypotheticals, such as “What if I succeed wildly?” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be happy for your experiences. Your maturity has brought you to a place where you’re able not only to live the length of this day, but also the depth of it as well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Knife makers who sharpen blades on whirling grindstones must be careful not to get their noses too close to the work. To avoid a nasty scrape, put more distance between you and the job at hand. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll come across those with more privileges and benefits. Hopefully, they’ll play fair. You

like the game of life better when you’re reasonably sure that no one is playing with marked cards or stacking the deck. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes you have to stop “doing you” in order to become who you really are. It’s the ideal day to let go of some of your staple patterns and observe how you feel outside of your behaviors. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You value cheerfulness, but you don’t always have to be cheerful, especially when it’s just you. A wide range of emotions will color this day, and you’ll find something of value in each tone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Persevere with the things you believe in. There will always be reasons to give up. Those reasons may look like immobile objects, when they’re really shadows you can pass right through. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As the lawn mowers and leaf blowers of the world know, noise that’s acceptable at 9 a.m. might be cause for a fight at 6 a.m. Your excellent timing will keep the peace today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The day comes with a complimentary quiz. Unfortunately, the answers can’t be found in small writing or upside down on the bottom of the page. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 28). In the next six weeks you will relinquish a tired grudge, and as you forgive, you are reborn. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 2, 35, 29 and 50.
