Third Day lifts Arena crowd Christian music quartet’s hits have won the group four Grammys and 20 Dove awards. R E V I E W By BRAD PATTON bpatton@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. --One of the most popular bands in Contemporary Christian Music brought its music and message to the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Sunday. Third Day, a quartet from Marietta, Ga., whose name alludes to Jesus rising from the dead on the third day after the crucifix-

ion, has been awarded four Grammys and 20 Dove awards (the highest honor in Christian music) since 1996. Nine of the group’s songs have topped the Christian Songs charts, while eight of its albums have been certified Gold and another two have gone Platinum. Its latest album, “Move” released in October 2010, peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200. The band, consisting of lead vocalist Mac Powell, guitarist Mark Lee, bassist Tai Anderson and drummer David Carr, augmented Sunday by touring members Scotty Wilbanks on

keyboards and Jason Hoard on guitar, banjo and mandolin, brought its “Make Your Move” tour to the arena Sunday, with popular CCM band and twotime Dove Award winners Tenth Avenue North and singer-songwriter Trevor Morgan in tow. Taking the stage to the strains of Mississippi Fred McDowell singing “You Gotta Move,” Third Day got the crowd up and singing with its first tune, “Make Your Move,” the group’s latest single and tour namesake. The band kept up the early momentum with “The Other Side” and “Slow Down.”

Redistricting is impacting election

Wilbanks sang a few bars of “People Get Ready” leading into the band’s next song, and the group scored again with an uplifting version of “Sing a Song.” Other highlights included “Call My Name,” “Children of God” and “Revelation,” and 2005’s “Cry Out To Jesus.” Powell, who co-produced opening act Morgan’s album, then gave the spotlight over to the young singer as the band backed Morgan on an inspired “Jesus Rides The Subway.” After a great version of “Tunnel,” the lead singer for Tenth Avenue North Mike Donehey joined the band for final song

“God of Wonders.” After a brief exit from the stage, Third Day returned with the a cappella section of “Seven Bridges Road” before bidding everyone adieu with “When I’m Gone.” Highlights of Tenth Avenue North’s set included “By Your Side” and “You Are More,” while Morgan scored in his solo acoustic set with “Nothing Good Comes Easy” and a song based on the 23rd Psalm. Third Day’s next show is Thursday in Springfield, Mo. Next up at the Mohegan Sun Arena is Trans-Siberian Orchestra for two shows on Friday.

‘Puss in Boots’ topples ‘Tower Heist’ Animated film from the “Shrek’’ series earned $33 million in its second weekend. By DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — “Puss in Boots” pounced on “Tower Heist” and “Harold & Kumar” at the box office. The DreamWorks 3-D animated film, distributed by Paramount Pictures, earned $33 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The PG-rated film centering on the swashbuckling feline voiced by Antonio Banderas from the “Shrek” series surprisingly toppled the weekend’s two new releases, bringing its total haul to $75 million. Universal’s PG-13 revenge romp “Tower Heist” starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy palmed $25.1 million in the No. 2

licia ‘Ally’ Nauss and her daughter, Rhys Corcoran, age 2 1/2, play with bubbles after Nauss and Adam Hill were married Sunday at the Occupy Philadelphia encampment in front of City Hall in Philadelphia. Nauss and Hill met while working the information tent at Occupy Philadelphia. The Philadelphia encampment is one of many being held across the country similar to the ongoing Occupy Wall Street demonstration in New York. The groups are protesting greed and calling attention to those who have been hurt by poor economy.

“The days of using public money to further nepotism, give jobs to friends and family and insider contracts must end now.

spot, while the Warner Bros. Rrated sequel “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas” with John Cho and Kal Penn unwrapped $13 million at No. 3. Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com, said family films are tough to beat out. “From the re-release earlier this fall of ‘The Lion King’ to ‘Dolphin Tale’ and now ‘Puss in Boots,’ it seems that the family audience is the one you can really count on right now,” said Dergarabedian. “I think the cavalry is definitely on the way though. We’ve got ‘Immortals’ and another ‘Twilight’ coming up, as well as a bunch of big releases in December.” Anne Globe, head of worldwide marketing and consumer products at DreamWorks, said the decision to move up the opening of “Puss in Boots” to last weekend is one reason why the film experienced just a 3-percent

drop, the smallest ever for a nonholiday film, ahead of the 10-percent dip for “Twister” during its second weekend of release in 1996. “To be No. 1 again is really extraordinary,” said Globe. “It’s really an unparalleled hold driven by our two-weekend release strategy, which was pretty unprecedented in and of itself. That and the amazing word of mouth has given us tremendous momentum into November, which is a better play period for an eventlevel movie like ‘Puss in Boots.’ ” The 20th Century Fox sci-fi thriller “In Time” starring Justin Timberlake fell to No. 5 in U.S. after opening at No. 3 last weekend. “In Time” clocked better numbers overseas, earning $16.6 million in 53 markets for a second-place finish behind “The Adventures of Tintin,” while “Puss in Boots” scratched out third place with $15 million in five international markets.

Only out of the office since Oct. 1, Ragantesi said he’ll miss the people and the job. But it’s time to move on and maybe try to find another trophy buck to mount on his wall or another gobbler to match the one he has in house for his grandchildren to climb on. He and his wife, Karen, have three children, Billy, Mark and Amy; and seven grandkids. No longer on patrol or in the office, Ragantesi said he will enjoy spending time with his grandchildren.

Flood property tax relief available By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

In addition to federal and state tax relief, flood victims in federal-declared disaster areas can apply for property tax relief. Tony Alu, director of the Luzerne County Assessor’s Office, said a “Catastrophic Loss” clause in the tax law gives property owners an additional six months from the original Sept. 1 deadline to appeal their 2011 property assessment to the Luzerne County Board of Assessment Appeals. Property owners whose property sustained a loss of 50 percent or more of the assessed value qualify for tax relief. Anyone who files an appeal should note at the top that it is related to the Flood of 2011.

The easiest way to prove the loss to the appeals board is with an appraisal, Alu said. If an appraisal isn’t possible or the taxpayer can’t afford one, he or she should be prepared to provide as much proof as possible to support the case, such as insurance documentation, receipts from contractors or records filed with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. As for local tax relief, nothing in the state code allows for abatement of local taxes for flood victims, said Theresa Elliott, spokeswoman for the state Department of Economic and Community Development. Elliott said a bill that would allow further local tax relief is in the state Senate Appropriations Committee. Senate Bill 1267, authored by state

Sen. John Blake, D-Archbald, would authorize abatement of property taxes for flood victims equal to the reduction in assessed value caused by flooding. Increased valuation due to repairs or reconstruction would be exempted 100 percent in the first year of repair or reconstruction, 50 percent in the second year and 25 percent in the third year. The bill would eliminate the need for taxpayers to appeal their current assessment along with the 50 percent minimum amount of loss to qualify. It would authorize the county assessment office to reassess the property based on data used to determine assistance from FEMA. That bill and other flood-related bills are expected to be addressed when the state Senate returns to session on Nov. 14.

Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Chief John Yuknavich was arrested on assault and other charges after police said he dragged his ex-girlfriend out of a car and punched the man she was with early Sunday morning. Police said they were called to the scene of an assault at 44 Oak St. at 3:44 Yuknavich a.m. and were told Yuknavich approached the car Kenneth Scialpi of Hughestown and Denise Pavlick were sitting in. Yuknavich punched Scialpi, leaving bruises and cuts on his face and chipping two teeth, police said. He also dragged Pavlick from the car, stole her iPhone and threatened to put bullets in her and Scialpi’s heads, police said. Scialpi was treated by emergency medical personnel from Hughestown and Pavlick obtained an emergency protection from abuse order against Yuknavich, police said. Police said they arrested Yuknavich at the Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Department. He was arraigned by District Judge Martin Kane, WilkesBarre, on charges of simple assault, harassment, theft and terroristic threats. Yuknavich was committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility and later posted 10 percent of his $10,000 bail. HAZLETON

DEATHS

A 2011 AP photo shows the unfinished cabin on Forkston Mountain where David Grasch, Pat Mahoney and Tony DiMartino died.

Police investigation The case languished until 2007, when Stephen Grasch was arrested in southern New Jersey and charged with running a drug ring that dealt large amounts of cocaine. Dozens of others, including his father, also were charged. Al Grasch served a little over a year in prison and Stephen

Grasch, now 34, remains behind bars. Police said David was also involved in the drug-dealing ring, which his father confirmed. Stephen Grasch said detectives interrogated him twice regarding the deaths of his brother and cousins, and to this day adamantly denies he had anything to do with them. Stephen Grasch was not charged in the case and blames police for stoking suspi-

cions. “The state police continuously told my Aunt Maureen, the Mahoney and the DiMartino families that the answer is in New Jersey and that I know what happened,” he told the AP in a letter. “This accusation tore the entire family apart.” State police Sgt. Anthony Manetta said the case has remained under active investigation. Al and Stephen Grasch have always suspected carbon monoxide poisoning and consider other potential causes, including foul play, unlikely. Manetta said investigators are considering a reenactment that would use the same models of space heater and generator to see what happened to carbon monoxide and oxygen levels. But the answer may be deep in the stack of records the families provided to AP, in the form of laboratory test results performed at Scranton’s Moses Taylor Hospital. They helped rule out carbon monoxide, but experts say they also documented results that

www.timesleader.com

may be medically impossible. After the AP raised questions about the accuracy of those tests, the state police began examining whether they were botched. The main issue concerns carbon dioxide — not monoxide — a gas that Manetta said is normally ignored in death investigations because its levels increase after people die. The healthy range for carbon dioxide in blood, in the scale used to measure it, is 35 to 45, with dangerous levels existing well below 100. Pat Mahoney’s level was 342, David Grasch’s was 478 and Tony DiMartino’s reached 764, the report showed. But it’s unlikely a drafty cabin would trap enough gas to create fatal conditions, said Dr. Colin Grissom, a physician in Murray, Utah, who has studied carbon dioxide deaths in avalanches. There are also questions about how the lab could have listed “zero” as David’s blood oxygen level but 16 percent for oxyhemoglobin, said Dr. Neil Hampson, a Seattle physician who has treated more than 1,200 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Oxygen is a component of oxyhemoglobin. Hampson said there may have been problems with the hospital lab’s equipment. If the lab technician put the handwritten results in the wrong place, he said, that might account for the apparent errors and could show fatal levels of carbon monoxide. A hospital spokeswoman would only say it maintains a policy of not commenting on any coroner’s case. Family members are anxious to see whether the flurry of new activity yields any new results. Manetta said recently that a state police investigator planned to look into the hospital lab and meet with the coroner and forensic pathologist. The five-year anniversary is coming up. “I would like to know the truth,” Al Grasch said. “For the whole family, you know, because it was so torn apart by this. To definitely come up with a conclusion would be great for the family.”

Greek political agreement ensures debt deal Prime minister agrees to step down as country switches to an interim government. By DEMETRIS NELLAS and ELENA BECATOROS Associated Press

ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s embattled prime minister and main opposition leader agreed Sunday to form an interim government to ensure the country’s new European debt deal and oversee early elections, capping a week of political turmoil that saw Greece facing a catastrophic default and threatening its euro membership. Greek leaders had been anxious to end a severe political crisis with some positive result before today, when the country heads to a meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Brussels. The initial agreement, which will see Prime Minister George Papandreou step down, came after a week of drama sparked by his announcement he was taking the debt deal to a referendum. He withdrew that plan Thursday after intense opposition from European leaders and his own Socialist law-

makers, many of whom called for him to resign. Papandreou “has already stated he will not lead the new government,” the statement from the president’s office said. He is to meet again today with opposition leader Antonis Sama-

ras to seek agreement on who will head the new government and who will be included in its Cabinet, the president’s office said. A planned meeting with the leaders of all political parties represented in parliament, which was to take place this evening, was can-

celed after parliament’s two leftist parties refused to attend, the office said. The statement came after a latenight meeting between Papandreou and Samaras called by President Karolos Papoulias to end a two-day deadlock. Direct talks

had failed to get off the ground as Papandreou had agreed to step aside but only after power-sharing talks settled on a new government makeup, and Samaras insisted he wanted snap elections and would not start negotiations unless Papandreou resigned first. The crisis was sparked after Papandreou’s shock announcement on Oct. 31 that he wanted to put a new European debt deal aimed at rescuing his country’s economy to a referendum. That plan caused an uproar in Europe, with the leaders of France and Germany saying any popular vote in Greece would decide whether the country would remain in the euro. European officials also said the country would not receive the vital 8 billion euro installment of its existing 110 billion euro bailout until the uncertainty in Athens was over. Greece has been surviving since May 2010 on its initial bailout. But its financial crisis was so severe that a second rescue was needed as the country remained locked out of international bond markets by sky-high interest rates and facing an unsustainable debt increase.

Cain sexual harassment allegations bring back racial politics The candidate’s supporters have pinned blame on a white GOP presidential rival, media.

By JESSE J. HOLLAND Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Herman Cain’s rise as a presidential contender was supposed to prove that race didn’t matter in the Republican Party. Cain is fast making it the only thing that does. The black conservative is trying to navigate around allegations that he sexually harassed at least three women, implying that the accusations surfaced because he is black. Hours after the claims were reported, Cain’s supporters branded his trouble a

“high-tech lynching.” That’s the term coined 20 years ago by another black conservative, Supreme Court Justice Cain Clarence Thomas, after his confirmation hearings for the court were rocked by allegations of sexual harassment. Cain’s supporters have pinned blame on a white GOP presidential rival, on liberals afraid of a “strong black conservative” and on mainstream media interested in “guilty until proven innocent.” But by playing the race card with the Thomas precedent, his backers belied the “post-racial” Amer-

ica that President Barack Obama was said to have brought about in the United States — and that they, too, promote. It’s not a post-racial world, “it’s a partisan world,” said Merle Black, an Emory University professor and author of “The Rise of Southern Republicans.” Cain’s success in Republican straw polls was considered by many, especially black conservatives, proof that America was finally ready to consider candidates according to ideas, not race. Obama was elected the nation’s first black president in 2008 behind a strong vote from minorities, liberals and independents. Few of them are affiliated with the GOP, the party of Abraham Lincoln that lost favor

with minority voters behind its 1960s “Southern strategy” of wooing white voters who were unhappy over civil rights laws. The GOP is eyeing blacks with new appeal, as evidenced by the rise of conservatives such as Cain; two former secretaries of state, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice; former Rep. J.C. Watts of Oklahoma; and current Reps. Allen West of Florida and Tim Scott of South Carolina. But that doesn’t mean that talking about race for political advantage is passé. Conservatives immediately turned the narrative that way once the Cain allegations became public. “Just like they did to Clarence Thomas, they are engaging in a ‘hightech lynching’ by smearing Her-

man Cain’s reputation and character,” Jordan Gehrke of AmericansforHermanCain.com wrote in a fundraising appeal. Not everyone on the Republican side appreciates the tactic. “I think we need to get past the language of race on both sides,” Rice, who succeeded Powell as President George W. Bush’s secretary of state, said in a Fox News interview Tuesday. Black conservative commentator Armstrong Williams, who worked for Thomas when he headed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said some Republicans are put off by Cain’s claims of racism because they hate it when they are accused of being racist.

Luzerne County could lose 1 district court President judges must submit findings as state seeks to trim magisterial courts.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

By the numbers, District Judge Martin Kane in WilkesBarre had the most criminal cases while District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township had the most traffic citations and minor civil lawsuit filings in 2010. Case statistics for magisterial district courts were included in instructions that were recently sent to county president judges in an effort to phase out at least 50 magisterial districts in Pennsylvania. There are 17 magisterial district courts in Luzerne County, including Wilkes-Barre Central Court that hears preliminary hearings for the two district courts in Wilkes-Barre. Luzerne County may lose a magisterial seat depending on a recommendation that has yet to be made. President judges have until the spring of next year to send their findings to the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts. “It is my responsibility to make a recommendation to the

(state) Supreme Court sometime toward the spring of calendar year 2012,” said Luzerne County President Judge Thomas F. Burke Jr. “The process will involve receiving input from magisterial district judges, as well as members of the court of common pleas. Ultimately, any proposal will be made for public comment.” The last realignment for magisterial districts in the county took place in 2004 after the death of Edwardsville District Judge John Hopkins. His district was absorbed in three other magisterial districts. If the process just includes case filings, seats currently held by district judges Daniel O’Donnell in Sugarloaf, Gerald Feissner in Freeland and Ronald Swank could be in jeopardy. Those three offices had the lowest filings among criminal, non-traffic (harassment, disorderly conduct, etc) and landlord/tenant disputes in 2010. District Judge Donald Whittaker’s office had the lowest filings for traffic citations but was among the highest for non-traffic and landlord/tenant disputes last year. Another factor that may come into play is the possible vacancy in the greater Pittston area currently held by District

Molly’s Open Letter to the Community I’m Molly Hanlon Mirabito, and I’m running for judge. I started my campaign with a quote from JFK. As we’re winding down, it seems appropriate to repeat it. He said that political candidates should “submit to the voters one’s views, record and competence….” I agree. And an important part of this picture is a candidate’s experience. I’ve been a practicing attorney for over 22 years. As an Assistant District Attorney, I prosecute criminals, collaborate with law enforcement officers and agencies and work with crime victims and their families. In my private practice, I advise and work with clients on a variety of issues. I understand the law and its impact in all our lives. This is the experience I will bring to the bench if elected. But there’s another important issue in this election. I had an opportunity to meet many of our Luzerne County neighbors over the past months. In our talks, the importance of integrity kept popping up. This word has been used a lot in the election. But integrity is not just a word that I recently discovered. Integrity is a way of life for me. I learned about integrity while growing up in my mom and dad’s home, and I’ve never forgotten those early lessons. I took them with me when I went to Notre Dame to study law. They became part of my professional career when I started practicing in our county. These lessons are part of my life and professional work. I can’t think of a better way to end this letter than with a paragraph I wrote in May about integrity. If I’m fortunate enough to be elected, I’ll bring these lifelong values and truths with me. •My word is my bond. •I will not sacriﬁce my values for personal or professional gain. •I will not sacriﬁce my values even if pressured to do so. •I will never break the public trust.

Oregon veteran now allowed to hang flag

Man, 70, had been threatened with eviction by apartment complex group. The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The management at an Oregon apartment complex has relented and will allow a 70-year-old Navy veteran to hang his American flag in the commons area on Veterans Day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and some other days, as well. The nonprofit organization that runs the subsidized downtown housing complex had threatened to evict Edward Zivica for violating the rules against hanging anything on exterior walls. But St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County said Friday it got â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of attentionâ&#x20AC;? when the story spread nationally the day before.

So, it announced an agreement with Zivica: He can stay and the flag can be displayed on days the two parties have agreed on, â&#x20AC;&#x153;provided it is done in a manner thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respectful to the flag and our other tenants.â&#x20AC;? Zivica has been a resident at the apartment complex in Springfield since it opened in 2009 and has been at odds with the management over his practice of hanging a large flag in the commons area on significant days. The last such was Navy Day, Oct. 27. After that, Zivica got a notice saying heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be evicted unless he signed a compliance note. Zivica was in the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Submarine Service in the 1960s. He said the flag he had been displaying was one the Army sent him onthedeathofhisfather,aWorld War II veteran.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2011 PAGE 11A The first floor of this South Coal Street home in Shickshinny was washed away in the September flood and the second floor dropped into the foundation. The house is one of many that were damaged by the Susquehanna River.

operating out of two trailers. “Their housing, their infrastructure, their capacity to do it alone seems to have been supportive of their being selected for this process,” Brezany said. Athens, Bradford County, has also been approved for longterm recovery aid. Brezany said the program would not entitle the borough to any additional direct monetary aid from FEMA, but that FEMA will provide assistance in identifying recovery projects the borough would like to pursue and in finding and obtaining sources of funding for those projects. Weber said the aid will likely save the borough money by allowing the municipality to tap into FEMA’s resources. “They provide all kinds of resources,” Weber said. “What’s brilliant about this is if the borough had to seek advice about things -- road studies, feasibility studies -- there’s a cost factor to it. If FEMA does it, it’s zero.” The long-term recovery process will begin with a visioning meeting and involve the assembly of a steering committee composed of municipal officials,

tors, according to the IRS. The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in disaster areas and applies filing and payment relief. Taxpayers not in a designated disaster area, but whose books, records or tax professionals’ offices are in a designated disaster area, also are entitled to relief, said FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Thomas J.

members of the community and those with a vested stock in Shickshinny’s future that will guide the municipality in identifying projects, Weber said. FEMA officials and steeringcommittee members will also meet with small groups of residents and business owners to gain more community input. Areas to be addressed in the meeting process will include housing, public infrastructure, safety, recreational facilities and the im-

pact of change on the historical character of the borough. A tentative meeting schedule has been established, beginning in mid November and continuing at least through February. “It’s really going to be in the hands of the community to decide what they want do and how soon they want to do it, and what degree of financial support they want to put into it,” Brezany said. “I think that at this point it’s

who think they may be eligible for disaster tax relief to call the IRS. “Since tax issues are specific to individuals and business owners, we recommend that people living in the designated areas contact the IRS if they did not receive the IRS computer generated notice,” McCool said. Affected taxpayers claiming a disaster loss on their 2010 return should put the disaster designation “Pennsylvania/Hurricane Irene and/or Tropical Storm Lee” at the top of the form so the IRS can expedite processing the refund.

The IRS also will waive the usual fees and expedite requests for copies of previously filed tax returns for flood victims. Taxpayers should print the assigned disaster designation in red ink at the top of Form 4506 – Request for Copy of Tax Return – or Form 4506-T – Request for Transcript of Tax Return, as appropriate, and submit it to the IRS. Disaster victims who are contacted by the IRS on a collection or audit matter should explain how the disaster impacts them so that the IRS can provide appropriate consideration to their case.

reinventing Shickshinny Borough,” Weber said. “Everybody could say what it was. Well, it will never be what it was. … We have to sit back and be visionaries. … It’s going to be a whole new Shickshinny. Theoretically, it could be even bigger and better.” In an early effort to connect with a possible supplier of grant funding, the borough has invited state Department of Community PETE G.

WORLD OPINION

U.K. market will suffer from bailout uncertainty

ECENT GROWTH figures for the U.K. economy in the last quarter are better than expected, at 0.5 percent, and better than the 0.1 percent for the three months before that. This will come as a relief to the British Chancellor, George Osborne. But the figures are still weak, with many forecasters predicting lower growth ahead. Moreover, markets have fallen on the news that the deal painstakingly thrashed out for European Union-led Greek bailout might yet be put in jeopardy by a referendum. Whatever the merits of letting the Greeks decide their country’s economic future – and there is everything to be said for democratic decisions – this was not the deal that the

Athens government signed up to. Had Prime Minister George Papandreou of Greece told eurozone governments that the entire agreement was conditional on the say-so of the Greek public, the tone of the negotiations might have been very different. Britain, which might be outside the eurozone but is economically bound up with its fortunes, can only suffer from the uncertainty. In the long term, were the Greeks to walk away from their commitments and from the euro, it could be in that country’s best interests. But disorderly default and prolonged uncertainty are what the markets hate most and it is what is now almost guaranteed. London Evening Standard

Syrian reform needed

HE DAY AFTER dozens were killed in Syria, in one of the deadliest single-day tolls since protests erupted there more than seven months ago, the United Nations and the Arab League issued separate condemnations of the violence. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon voiced the international concern over the ongoing crisis, when he said, “The calls of the Syrian people for change must be answered with far-reaching reforms, not repression and violence.” Syria is clearly in a state of internal political crisis. According to the United Nations, at least 3,000 people have lost their lives in the country since

the unrest began in midMarch. It is no surprise that the NATO powers, inspired by their successful military intervention in Libya, shifted focus on Syria. The Western powers have so far restricted themselves to sanctions aimed at Syrian President Bashar Assad and the ruling elite and have refrained from any military intervention. Yet, international pressure upon Syria for political reform is increasingly building up. China called on the Middle East to halt all forms of violence in Syria and take all necessary measures to prevent bloodshed. China Daily, Beijing

One for the records

F THERE WERE a category in the “Guinness World Records” for advanced planning in extremis, the hands-on winner is surely our Commonwealth of Nations. By a 16-0 vote during their meet-and-greet Down Under, all were in favor of the eldest offspring of top-rung royals getting the big throne job, regardless of gender. By the time mortality plows through the current royal lineup, however, most of us will be dead. This yet-to-be-conceived child – the future royal progeny of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, aka William and Kate – is arguably 50-plus years away from coronation, if indeed the couple are ever so blessed. So the Commonwealth can

hardly be accused of procrastinating on this historical precedent. But first we have to bid sad farewell to Queen Elizabeth, and then to the ghastly Charles as king and, if death remains the only means to succession, poor William also will have to join the royal ranks of the no-longerwith-us before his eldest offspring can assume the throne. None of this is about to happen any time soon. Think 2065, but just don’t hold your breath. The queen, by the by, is onside with all this. But the ball, so to speak, is now solely in William and Kate’s court. Think pink. The Ottawa Sun, Ontario

am responding to Joseph DeLucco Jr.’s letter to the editor titled “Those without cell phones need public telephones” (Oct. 29). I fully understand his point, but the reality is that pay phones are owned by landline telephone companies and some vending machine companies – not cell phone companies. Due to the increased usage of cell phones, the revenues have declined greatly, and considering their exposure to the elements and vandalism, maintenance and upkeep costs offset much of the lower revenue. That is why you are seeing fewer pay phones. They are victims of new technology, much like the stagecoach business was phased out by more modern transportation. However, there are alternatives. Most cell phone companies offer low-cost or pay-as-you-go plans. TracFone, for instance, offers both plans with pay-as-you-go costs of about $3 to $5 a month. Phones and airtime cards can be bought at Walmart, Kmart, drugstores and dollar stores. All phones provide 911 service, even if you are out of minutes. Search the Internet and you will find the offerings. If you don’t have at-home access to the Internet, you can go to your local public library to use it and ask a librarian for help.

Consumer greediness is destroying the Earth

recently read an article that previewed a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The article begins, “For a world already weary of weather catastrophes, the latest warning from top climate scientists paints a grim future: More floods, more heat waves, more droughts and greater costs to deal with them.” Some locations might become “increasingly marginal as places to live,” according to the report. A primary cause for extreme climate change was given as “manmade greenhouse gases.” The major contributor to the expansion of greenhouse gases is the burning of carbon-based fuels such as coal, oil, wood and natural gas. More than 1 million of the Earth’s children die each year from malnutrition or lack of water. Food cannot be grown on flooded or drought-stricken land. Polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, causing coastal erosion and the flooding of cities. Weather patterns are becoming more intense, resulting in hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, rain and snowstorms lasting several days. The Earth is continuously being assault-

ed by coal, lumber, oil and natural gas companies. As a result, waterways are becoming polluted, pure water is a growing scare and land is becoming unusable. People throughout the world are eager to consume as much as they can in order to make life as heavenly as possible, but this consumer mentality is failing. Products such as sleeker cars, faster computers, wider wide screens, iPods, iPads, iPhones and extreme video games are making us fat, stressed out, less friendly, shallow thinkers and greedy. Greed has become a highly valued human characteristic. Individuals in the corporate world especially value this ethic and reward it. If we are going to turn this around and begin to heal our planet, we need to work together at every level. For example, before allowing natural gas corporations to continue injecting trillions of gallons of polluted fracturing solution into the earth, there should be deep-level discussions on the matter to determine if this will have a healing or harmful effect on the Earth.

Attend upcoming meeting on Postal Service changes

he “service” is being taken out of the U.S. Postal Service. It wants to eliminate delivery standards. I am a postal worker and union representative. I want the public to know what is coming. This means people who receive checks or medicines through the mail will have to wait longer. Mail users will have to send in bill payments at least a week earlier or risk facing penalty charges. Businesses that use the mail will have to mail much earlier and wait much longer to receive bill payments and other correspondence. Mailers who use the per-sort discount program will have to transport their mail more than 70 miles to Lehigh Valley for processing. All Northeastern Pennsylvania mail will be trucked to Lehigh Valley, as the Postal Service wants to take the key mail processing plant in Scranton to Lehigh Valley. The Postal Service has filed notice in the Federal Register that it will end delivery standards in January, and it also will raise rates at that same time.

Explore Louisiana model for flood mitigation plan

ennsylvania lawmakers who are trying to find ways to help flood victims should look into the hazard mitigation program run by Louisiana. Homeowners are being offered money to elevate their homes. Months after flood victims were allowed to go back to New Orleans and start repairs, new flood plain maps were developed. They indicated a new designated flood plain – with elevations often above a home’s first floor. The program might be the only alternative for many isolated flood victims in Northeastern Pennsylvania threatened by small-stream flash flooding. The program is partially funded by Louisiana and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Nick Souchik Pittston Township

Pancreatic cancer study must be made a priority

t has been 40 years since the enactment of the 1971 National Cancer Act and over the past decade there has been significant improvement in overall cancer survival rates. Sadly, pancreatic cancer survival rates are not reflected in this. This insidious disease, which is the fourth-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, has seen an increase of cases and deaths since 1988. It remains the only cancer that still has a five-year survival rate in the single digits, at 6 percent. In 2011 this terrible disease will claim the lives of an estimated 2,070 Pennsylvanians. Pancreatic patients and their loved ones cannot wait another 40 years. It is essential that we make research into pancreatic cancer a priority. As a volunteer with the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, I thank the elected officials in the Wyoming Valley and Luzerne County for proclaiming November as National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. We must support our fellow citizens who have been afflicted by this disease and advocate for greater awareness and more resources to fight pancreatic cancer.

TV pilot airs in Scranton Race for Recovery Most of the actors and cast were from the Scranton area and expressed the desire “to do the area proud.”

M I C H A E L J FA S C I A N A P R E S E N T S

By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

SCRANTON – The Vintage Theater on Penn Avenue in Scranton was alive recently with film enthusiasts eager to view the premiere of “Victims,” a television pilot written and produced by Pittston native Michael Fasciana. Despite an unexpectedly heavy snowstorm, many of those who worked on the project and their supporters attended the showing, which included two episodes. Approximately 30 people attended. "Victims" is based on real-life situations highlighting characters placed in difficult situations. "The episodes don’t necessarily have ‘happily ever after’ endings," said editor David Brodt, noting that realism was foundational to the plot of the show. Brodt is no stranger to the industry, having edited Fasciana’s production of “Extra, Extra,” a 2007 comedic television effort and other area productions. He also supervised the musical aspect of the “Victims” episodes. Both episodes depicted youths struggling with emotional and financial issues. Fasciana, who also assisted in editing, said shooting the episodes had taken approximately one month, but the actual writing and selection of actors had taken considerably more time. Most of the actors and cast were from the Scranton area and expressed the desire “to do the area proud.” In spite of some technical difficulties, "Victims" was well received and clearly impacted its audience. "The part where one of the characters gets his throat slashed was really scary and realistic," said Tracey Tague, whose son Ryan was an actor in the production. Ed and Janet Fargo had a unique perspective of "Victims" because some of the footage from both episodes was filmed at their house. The Fargos also allowed some of the cast and crew to stay at their home. "We believed we were helping make a dream come true," said Janet Fargo. Fargo noted the hard work and perseverance of Fasciana and his brother, Robert Frederick, in bringing the original idea to fruition. Fasciana and Frederick also worked on various other projects including, "Wishbone," a

horror movie that came out in 2000 and is now in video. Fasciana said the "Victims" DVD would be forwarded to various venues, including Virgin TV and Showtime, for review and possible production.

"We believe in the concept of the pilot and are confident that it can become a series." Those who attended the premiere were unanimously positive about the offering and said they "thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to seeing it on television."

WILKES-BARRE -- News of local flooding that made national headlines inspired one New Yorker with roots in the Wyoming Valley to organize a fundraiser to aid flood victims. Mileise Sabbatini, 26, fled to the familiar safety of her hometown of Plains Township when she evacuated her New York City home due to Hurricane Irene in August. After she went back to “I feel New York, she saw pic- lucky to tures on have so Facebook of the damage much love brought by in my life.

The pictures of what the water left behind made her want to help. She quickly enlisted the help of local family and friends to organize a 5K run/walk, called the Recovery Race, to be held on Saturday, starting in Kirby Park. Registration begins at 8 a.m. at the pavilion by the pond. The race starts at 9 a.m. for runners and 9:15 a.m. for walkers.

Recovery Race, a 5K run/walk will be held, starting at 9 a.m. for runners and 9:15 a.m. for walkers, Saturday, at the pavilion by the pond in Kirby Park, Wilkes-Barre. Registration fees are $20 per person and can be done online, at www.ceopeoplehelpingpeople.org. Proceeds will go to the Commission on Economy Opportunity to help flood victims.

High School, is still planning out the route, but she expects it to begin at the tennis courts in Kirby Park. Participants will cross the Market Street Bridge and head to the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center on the Wilkes University campus and then back to Kirby Park. Raffles also will be held, along with T-shirt sales, and prizes will be awarded for several age categories. Refreshments and food including pizza from Rodano’s will be available. The idea for the race developed in a dream, Mileise Sabbatini said. With a long history of volunteering for various charitable organizations, she tapped her experiences and drew on her skills as a home care specialist with First Quality Products to make the event become a reality. One of her biggest roadblocks was finding a charity that would guarantee the proceeds would stay within the Wyoming Valley. A friend, Tom Cooney, suggested the Commission on Economic Opportunity. “It is important to me the money would stay in the area,” she said. “It was hard to find a community charity to promise this. CEO was able to make that promise.” Sabbatini said caring for others and wanting to help has always been part of her life. “I have a compassionate heart,” Sabbatini said. “I feel lucky to have so much love in my life. I want to give back and help others.”

PHILADELPHIA — The Bears and Eagles might as well be division rivals. The two teams will meet for the fifth straight year and ninth time in 12 seasons when Chicago (4-3) visits Philadelphia (3-4) tonight. “We’ve had an opportunity to play them quite a few times, so they know us, we know them, and it should lead for an exciting, good foot- T O N I G H T ’ S ball game,” Eagles coach GAME Andy Reid said. “Every time we play each other, each of us adds a new little wrinkle. I’m sure they feel the same way. They have a pretty good grasp on what Chicago we do, and likewise with Bears us.” at Familiarity has helped Philadelphia the Bears recently. ChicaEagles go has won three of the 8:30 p.m., ESPN last four meetings after losing five straight to Philadelphia between 19992004. The Bears are among the few teams who’ve had success stopping Michael Vick. He’s 0-3 as a starter against them with 807 yards passing, three touchdowns and three interceptions in five career games. He’s run for 187 yards and been sacked 10 times. “They play a nice, tight, sound, disciplined scheme, and it’s something that they’ve always been good at,” Vick said. “And it’s a ‘bend but don’t break’ mentality and they find ways to get it done, and in the past that’s happened. So hopefully, I’m definitely confident this time I’ll give (us) the best chance to win the football game. And you know it’s going to be tough, but we have to put forth our best effort.” Vick figures to have Julius Peppers chasing him around all game. If he can buy enough time with his legs to throw, he’ll present a tough challenge for a secondary that includes rookie safety Chris Conte. The Bears sacked Vick four times in a 31-26 win over the Eagles at Soldier Field last November. They also snapped his streak of 238 passes without an interception. “He’s a great player. I think one thing you have to do is be able to match them a little bit athletic-ability wise, and we do,” Bears coach Lovie Smith said. “We want 11 athletes on the field. You’re going to miss him from time to time. You just need other players there. Our style of defense: gang tackle, everybody get to the ball. You need that for a player like that. We’re just going to play our normal defensive game that we believe in. We’re not going to change philosophies or anything like that this week.”

SEC says Missouri will join conference in 2012 The Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — After weeks of waiting, Missouri’s move to the Southeastern Conference became official on Sunday. The SEC released a statement saying the conference’s presidents and chancellors acted unanimously, and Missouri will join the league effective July 1, 2012. “The Presidents and Chancellors of the Southeastern Conference are pleased to welcome the University of Missouri to the SEC,” Florida President Bernie Machen said in a statement. “The University of Missouri is a

prestigious academic institution with a strong athletic tradition and a culture similar to our current institutions.” Missouri will be leaving the Big 12, a conference it has been a part of since 1907, including its days as the Big Eight. “The Southeastern Conference is a highly successful, stable, premier athletic conference that offers exciting opportunities for the University of Missouri,” Missouri Chancellor Brady J. Deaton said. “In joining the SEC, MU partners with universities distinguished for their academic programs and their emphasis on student success. The SEC will

provide our student-athletes with top flight competition and unparalleled visibility. We came to this decision after careful consideration of the long term best interests of our university. “We believe the Southeastern Conference is an outstanding home for the Mizzou Tigers, and we take great pride in our association with this distinguished league.” The addition of Missouri will increase SEC membership to 14 schools, including Texas A&M, which announced last month that it was also leaving the Big 12 for the SEC. Asked what division Missouri

would be in, Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long posted on his Twitter account that Missouri will be in the “East initially.” Interim Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Neinas declined comment. Sunday’s announcement comes as no surprise. Last month the Missouri board of curators gave Deaton the permission to change leagues and from that point on it seemed only a matter of time before the Tigers said goodbye to the Big 12. Apparently, legal issues and other details took time to work out. The Big 12 needed to have a replacement for Missouri lined

Rankings don’t concern Kelly By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer

Brian Kelly isn’t overly concerned with what people think about his Notre Dame team. Not yet, anyway. Notre Dame (6-3) is bowl eligible after Saturday night’s 2417 victory over Wake Forest, and received four votes Sunday for The Associated Press Top 25. Notre Dame has not been ranked since it began the season at No. 16. “I’ve always felt there’s a bit of a separation from the top five, six teams and then any given day you can put another 20 teams and stack them up, plusses and minuses,” Kelly said Sunday. “At this time, I’m not really interested if we’re the 25th or 24th-ranked team in the country. I’m more interested in developing our program into one of the elite teams in the country.” Though the score might not reflect it, the victory over Wake Forest was another step in that direction, Kelly said. The Irish trailed 17-10 at the half, and Wake Forest had the ball at or inside the Notre Dame 10 twice in the second half. But Notre Dame dug in, ending one drive

with a forced fumble by Harrison Smith and snuffing out another when freshman Stephon Tuitt sacked Tanner Price for an 11-yard loss on first-and-goal from the 10. Notre Dame didn’t give Wake Forest another chance at the ball, handing it to Cierre Wood and Jonas Gray and letting them run out the clock. “We’re on a journey and, in that process, you have to gut out some wins. The only way to do that is if everybody’s together and everybody’s committed to the same thing, and that is getting better,” Kelly said. “That’s what I saw. This team really, really dug down, and they clearly stayed together no matter what to get the job done.” The Irish adopted a “Count on Me” mantra after the clearthe-air session that followed comments Kelly made about players he inherited from Charlie Weis, which some of the veterans took as a slight. That attitude was evident against Wake Forest, quarterback Tommy Rees said. “The defense did their part, and then it was their turn to look at (the offense),” Rees

said. “For us to go out there and make some plays and do our part of the deal, I couldn’t be more proud of our guys.” Now that needs to become second nature. Consistency has been Kelly’s main theme these last few weeks — consistency in how the Irish play, consistency in how they prepare, consistency even in mundane tasks such as taking care of the locker room. Notre Dame has made some progress, winning six of seven after opening the year with back-to-back losses. But Kelly said the team still has a ways to go, and these next two weeks could be a gauge of just how far they’ve come. The Irish now face Maryland and Boston College, teams with a combined record of 4-14. It’s easy to get up for, say, unbeaten Stanford, whom the Irish face in their regular season finale. But it’s a bigger challenge to bring the same effort and intensity against teams Notre Dame is expected to beat. “I want winning to become a habit, I don’t want it to be something that comes and goes,” Kelly said.

Perfect may not be enough for Boise St. By OSKAR GARCIA Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Boise State is going to have to do more than simply stay perfect to remain on the fringes of the national title conversation. A 48-21win at UNLV Saturday night — with Kellen Moore throwing five touchdowns and passing ex-Texas star Colt McCoy as college football’s winningest quarterback — wasn’t enough to push the No. 5 Broncos any higher in the AP Top 25 despite No. 2 Alabama losing at home. That’s partially because Alabama went down in overtime to No. 1 LSU, but it’s also because Boise State (8-0) wasn’t fully convincing in its win over the Rebels.

Coach Chris Petersen says the Broncos will have to show more next week against TCU. “We have to come out with a better game,” Petersen said. “Credit to UNLV, we have to come out better.” And things may be getting tougher for Boise State, which lost starting running back Doug Martin in the second quarter with a leg injury. The injury isn’t serious, Petersen said, but Martin finished with just six carries for 9 yards. BoiseStatedidn’treallygetits running game going until the fourth quarter, as D.J. Harper and Drew Wright each scored a touchdown. The backs combined for 21carries on156 yards. By then, the game was well in hand — thanks to the Broncos’

passing and a couple breaks along the way. Petersen said Boise State needs to play well in all parts of the game to keep their standing in the eyes of poll voters. “You need all three phases,” offense, defense and special teams, he said. “If something is not clicking you hope one phase saves you.” Boise State has four games remaining, including home games against TCU, Wyoming and New Mexico and a game at San Diego State. Those opponents have a combined record of17-12, and three have winning records. The Broncos were 46 points behind No. 4 Alabama in the AP Top 25 poll released Sunday, though the Broncos got the only first-place vote besides LSU.

Marinatto has been adamant about enforcing the league’s 27month notification period and holding West Virginia in the conference for the next two years. West Virginia filed a lawsuit challenging that rule and the Big East countered with a lawsuit asking the courts to make the school abide by its contract. The Big East is in rebuilding mode now and is expected to start adding new members in the next few days. The league last week approved inviting Boise State, Navy and Air Force for football only and SMU, Houston and Central Florida for all sports.

LSU, Oklahoma State take lead in BCS race By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

Falling at home to unranked Wildcats may keep Huskers out of Big Ten title game.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska figured there would be bumps in the road in its first season in the Big Ten. Northwestern wasn’t supposed to be one of them. The 19th-ranked Cornhuskers might look back at Saturday’s 2825 loss to the Wildcats as the one that cost them a spot in the first Big Ten championship game. They controlled their fate after the previous week’s win over Michigan State, but now sit a threeway tie with Michigan and Iowa for second place behind the Spartans in the Legends Division. Nebraska (7-2, 3-2) is about to begin a treacherous final stretch, with back-to-back road games against Penn State and Michigan and a home game against Iowa. “We’re going to try to win out,” coach Bo Pelini said, “and see what happens from there.” Nebraska players admit they saw the Northwestern game as a gimme, and they ended up losing to an unranked opponent at home for the fifth year in a row. The Wildcats (4-5, 2-4) had lost five straight before they beat lowly Indiana, and their defense had posted some of the worst statistics in the nation. “We just laid an egg,” defensive end Eric Martin said. Nebraska’s offense committed two turnovers, including one at the Northwestern 5-yard line. The defense couldn’t rein in Northwestern’s running game, which produced 207 of the Wildcats’ 468 total yards. Asked if he and his teammates underestimated Northwestern, Martin said: “Yeah, you could say that.” Quarterback Taylor Martinez said: “We didn’t come out to play. Maybe we overlooked Northwestern for Penn State.” Martinez completed 28 of 37 passes — a .757 completion percentage that was the best of his career — for 289 yards and two touchdowns. He connected on 12 passes in a row between the second and fourth quarters, and it was the third 200-yard passing game of his career. With 342 yards of total offense, Martinez moved past stars such as Turner Gill and Mike Rozier on the school’s career chart. He ranks No. 9 all-time with 4,853 yards.

up, because the conference needs 10 schools to fulfill its TV contracts. The Big 12 took care of that and bid farewell to Missouri 10 days ago, when it invited West Virginia from the Big East to join the conference. The league did not even list Missouri among the schools it anticipated would be competing in the Big 12 next year. But despite what the SEC and Big 12 plan, the Big East still will have a say in when Missouri and West Virginia will be allowed to start competing in their new conference homes. Big East Commissioner John

Tigers lock up No. 1

LSU and Oklahoma State took control of the race to the BCS championship game — but don’t count out Alabama yet. The day after the Tigers and Cowboys stayed unbeaten with their most difficult victories of the season, they also took the top two spots in the BCS standings. First-place LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in overtime Saturday night in Tuscaloosa, Ala., right about the time second-place Oklahoma State held off Kansas State 52-45 in Stillwater, Okla. The Crimson Tide only slipped one spot to third. If the Tigers (9-0) and Cowboys (9-0) remain unbeaten, they should meet in the New Orleans on Jan. 9. If either slip up, Alabama or fourth-place Stanford are in position to reach the title game as long as they keep winning. Unbeaten Boise State was fifth and again seems to be a long shot to reach the BCS championship game, though another perfect regular season should get the Broncos into one of the four other marquee games. Oklahoma is sixth. Oregon, which plays Stanford on Saturday, is seventh. But from this point on the focus will be on LSU and Oklahoma State. Coach Les Miles’ Tigers were No. 1 in both the Harris poll and the coaches’ poll, and they were tied with Oklahoma State for the best computer rating. LSU has an easy nonconference game against Western Kentucky on Saturday, followed by game at Mississippi, which is last in the SEC West. The Tigers finish the regular season at home against Arkansas, which is eighth in the BCS standings and not out of the running in the West. If LSU wins the West, it will face either South Carolina or Georgia. Win them all and LSU will play for its third BCS title in the

NEW YORK — LSU put a lock on the top spot, Oklahoma State moved up to No. 2 for the best ranking in school history, and Alabama slipped to No. 4 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll after losing a 1 vs. 2 showdown against the Tigers. LSU received 59 out of 60 first-place votes after beating the Crimson Tide 9-6 in overtime in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Saturday night. Oklahoma State moved up one spot after a wild 52-45 victory against Kansas State and Stanford also moved up a spot to third. Alabama slipped two spots Sunday. Boise State remained No. 5 with one first-place vote. The rest of the top 10 was No. 6 Oregon, followed by Oklahoma, Arkansas, Clemson and Virginia Tech.

Superdome, where it won its first two. Quarterback Brandon Weeden and the Cowboys, who have never played for a BCS title or in any other BCS game, were second in the Harris poll and third in the coaches’ poll, behind Stanford. But playing in the Big 12 has bolstered Oklahoma State’s strength of schedule and made the Cowboys virtually impossible to catch — unless they lose. The next two weeks, Oklahoma State is on the road, at Texas Tech and Iowa State. The Cowboys have a week off before playing rival Oklahoma at home on Dec. 3, the same day as the SEC title game, to finish their regular season. Alabama has games at Mississippi State and at Auburn sandwiched around a home game against Georgia Southern. Unbeaten Stanford is getting into the toughest part of its schedule with Oregon, California and Notre Dame left, as well as a possibly Pac-12 championship game.

Dolphins rout Chiefs for 1st win of season The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Miami Dolphins are no longer winless. Matt Moore threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns, Reggie Bush had 92 yards rushing and another score and the Dolphins walloped the Kansas City Chiefs 31-3 on Sunday. Moore, who took over after Chad Henne had season-ending shoulder surgery, became the first Dolphins quarterback since Chad Pennington in 2008 to throw three TD passes. Two of them went to tight end Anthony Fasano and another to Brandon Marshall, who finished with eight catches for 106 yards. The win by the Dolphins (1-7) leaves the Indianapolis Colts (0-9) as the NFL’s only winless team. Matt Cassel was 20 of 39 for 253 yards for Kansas City (4-4), which came into the game with a four-game winning streak.

SCOREBOARD

Monday, Nov. 7 Chicago (4-3) at Philadelphia (3-4), 8:30 p.m. EST. The Eagles have won two in a row to ease back into the NFC picture, and the Bears also won their past two. STARS Passing — Aaron Rodgers, Packers, completed 21 of 26 passes for 247 yards and four touchdown passes in Green Bay’s 45-38 win over San Diego. He has an NFL-high 24 TD passes. Philip Rivers, Chargers, was 26 of 46 for 385 yards with four touchdown passes and three interceptions. — Eli Manning, Giants, completed 20 of 39 for 250 yards and two touchdown passes, including a 1-yarder to Jake Ballard with 15 seconds left, in New York’s 24-20 win over New England. Tom Brady, Patriots, was 28 of 49 for 342 yards with two touchdown passes and two interceptions. — Drew Brees, Saints, was 27 of 36 for 258 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in New Orleans’ 27-16 win over Tampa Bay. Brees is the first player in NFL history to pass for at least 3,000 yards through the first nine games of a season. — Matt Moore, Dolphins, was 17 for 23 for 244 yards for three touchdowns in Miami’s 31-3 win over Kansas City. — Andy Dalton, Bengals, finished 22 for 39 for 217 yards with three touchdowns in Cincinnati’s 24-17 win over Tennessee. Rushing — Willis McGahee and Tim Tebow, Broncos. McGahee had 20 carries for 163 yards and two touchdowns and Tebow had had 118 yards on 12 carries in Denver’s 38-24 win over Oakland. Denver ran for 298 yards, its highest total since a 300-yard game against Seattle in 2000 and the Broncos’ most ever against the Raiders. — DeMarco Murray, Cowboys, finished with 22 carries for 139 yards in Dallas’ 23-13 win over Seattle. Marshawn Lynch, Seahawks, had 23 carries for 135 yards and a touchdown. — Arian Foster and Ben Tate, Texans. Foster had 19 carries for 124 yards and a touchdown and Tate had 12 carries for 115 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s 30-12 win over Cleveland.

Steve Breaston, Chiefs, had seven catches for 115 yards. — Roy Helu, Redskins, caught a franchise-record 14 passes for 105 yards coming out of the backfield in Washington’s 19-11 loss to San Francisco. Special Teams — Patrick Peterson, Cardinals, returned a punt 99 yards for a touchdown in overtime to give the Cardinals a 19-13 victory over the Rams. It was the second punt return to win a game in overtime in NFL history. The other was 86 yards by Tamarick Vanover of Kansas City to beat San Diego on Oct. 9, 1995. It was the second-longest punt return in NFL history (Robert Bailey, Rams, 103 yards, Oct. 23, 1994.) Calais Campbell, Cardinals, blocked Josh Brown’s 42-yard field goal attempt as regulation ended to force overtime. — Eddie Royal, Broncos, returned a punt 85 yards for the tiebreaking score in Denver’s 38-24 win over Oakland. — David Akers, 49ers, was 4 for 4 on field goals in San Francisco’s 19-11 win over Washington.

But Arizona won 19-13 in overtime. — Jerraud Powers, Colts, returned an interception 6 yards for a touchdown in Indianapolis’ 31-7 loss to Atlanta. SAFETY FIRSTS Arizona QB John Skelton, starting in place of Arizona’s Kevin Kolb, gave up safeties on consecutive plays in the third quarter. It was the first time a player yielded two safeties in a quarter since Aaron Rodgers did it against Minnesota on Nov. 9, 2008. The last player to have safeties on consecutive plays was Kordell Stewart of Pittsburgh against Jacksonville on Oct. 3, 1999. The safeties marked the first time in NFL history a team had scored a total of four points in a quarter. STILL AT A LOSS Miami’s win at Kansas City left the Colts (0-9) as the only team in the NFL without a victory. They have lost five straight home games for the first time since 2001. Indy has been outscored 75-14 in the first half and 120-24 over the past three weeks. STATS Arian Foster rushed for 124 yards and Ben Tate ran for 115 and both scored touchdowns to lead the Texans past Cleveland. The Texans (6-3) finished with a franchise-record 261 yards rushing. It was the first time the Browns allowed two 100-yard rushers in the same game since the Baltimore Colts did it against them in 1956. ... Miami WR Brandon Marshall finished with eight catches for 106 yards and a TD. The former Bronco has 52 catches for 689 yards and seven touchdowns in eight games against Kansas City in his career. ... The Dolphins sacked Kansas City’s Matt Cassel five times. The Chiefs came into the game having allowed 13 sacks all season, tied for sixth best in the league. ... New Orleans gained 195 yards on the ground in a 27-16 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after rushing for only 56 yards at St. Louis a week earlier. ... Rookie RB Roy Helu received his first NFL start and broke the Redskins’ record for most receptions in a game, finishing with 14 for 105 yards. The previous record for receptions was 13, reached twice by Hall of Famer Art Monk (1985 and 1990) and once by Kelvin Bryant (1986). Helu’s 14 receptions are the most by an NFL running back this season and the most by a running back since Philadelphia’s Brian Westbrook caught 14 passes against Dallas on Nov. 4, 2007. STREAKS The Green Bay Packers are the third defending Super Bowl champion to start the following season 8-0, joining the 1990 San Francisco 49ers and 1998 Denver Broncos.

events of the weekend (an indictment charging former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky with 40 counts of sexually abusing minors, and Curley and Gary Schultz, a high-ranking university official, with perjury and failure to report in the case) the retirement dance — and its aftermath — is likely to change. Although Spanier offered his “unconditional support” to Curley after charges against the athletic director were revealed, it seems rather far-fetched to think Curley can continue to function in his duties with a pending trial hanging over him, even if his attorney has proclaimed he is innocent. And Spanier’s image took a hit after the release of the state attorney general’s report saying that the president approved “without any further inquiry on his part” a proposal that banned Sandusky from bringing minors on campus. The ban was devised after Curley met with a graduate assistant who said he witnessed an alleged sexual assault of a minor by Sandusky. So given the credibility issues that have surfaced the last few days, it’s uncertain how effective Spanier would be in leading the effort to find a successor to the legendary coach, with perhaps no permanent athletic director to assist him. No one The Philadelphia Inquirer attempted to contact from the Penn State Board of Trustees returned a message seeking comment. However, it is probably safe to say the trustees were embarrassed by the events that transpired and want answers to why no one reported an allegation of child sexual abuse on campus to police. Paterno is finishing up his 46th season as head coach with no hint to date that he will retire. He may not choose to comment on the indictments at his weekly news conference Tuesday. But the coach is under fire by some for not following up after telling Curley what the graduate assistant told him about Sandusky’s alleged assault in the Lasch Football Complex.

ant coach in 2002 that he had witnessed an incident in the shower of the team locker room. Prosecutors have said Paterno had passed on the information to athletic director Tim Curley. But Paterno said specific actions alleged to have occurred in the grand jury report were not relayed to him. “It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the grand jury report,” Paterno said in the statement. “Regardless, it was clear that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky. As coach Sandusky was retired from our coaching staff at that time, I referred the matter to university administrators.” Two people familiar with the investigation confirmed the identity of the witness as then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary, now the team’s wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. The two spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the names in the grand jury report have not been publicly released. In a phone interview, Scott Paterno, serving as his father’s spokesman, said the first and only incident reported about Sandusky to Paterno was in 2002. Scott Paterno, a former lawyer, is a Harrisburg-based political operative. Sandusky retired from his assistant’s job in1999. He is charged with sexually abusing eight boys over15 years. Overseeing the linebackers, Sandusky coached such prominent players including Jack Ham, Shane Conlan and Matt Millen. Sandusky coached the defense in Penn State’s 1982 and 1986 na-

Curley, Schultz step down STATE COLLEGE — Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and school administrator Gary Schultz have stepped down amid allegations of an explosive child-sex abuse scandal and cover-up in Happy Valley. In a brief statement released after an executive session of Penn State’s Board of Trustees, university President Graham Spanier said late Sunday that he had received a request from Curley to be placed on administrative leave so he could devote the time needed to defend himself perjury and other charges. Schultz is stepping down and going back into retirement. He was named senior vice president and treasurer from 1993 to 2009 and returned this year until a new person could be found. The two men were charged Saturday after a grand jury investigation of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. He’s been charged with sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years. They deny the allegations. The Patriot News identified the graduate assistant as current receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Mike McQueary. In a statement released Sunday evening, Paterno said that if allegations against Sandusky were true, “we were all fooled.” Paterno said that at no time did the graduate assistant relate to him “the very specific actions (of the incident) contained in the grand jury report. “Regardless, it was clear that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky,” Paterno added. “As Coach Sandusky was retired from our coaching staff at that time, I referred the matter to university administrators.” With the outrage over what is being perceived by some as a university cover-up to protect a former employee, Paterno, who has endured physical pain all season, could decide that he has indeed coached long enough. That possibility leads to tional title seasons, and was at one point considered a likely successor to Paterno. The grand jury report released Saturday said one victim, identified as “Victim 4,” recalled a meeting with an emotionalSanduskyafterPaternohad told Sandusky about May 1999 that his assistant would not be the next coach at Penn State. According to Scott Paterno, his father made the decision because he felt Sandusky was spending too much time at The Second Mile, a foundation Sandusky established to help at-risk kids, where authorities say he encountered the boys. Sandusky then made the decision to take early retirement, Scott Paterno said. Scott Paterno said his father told Sandusky he had to dedicate himself to either the foundation or coaching. “Joe had said ‘You can’t do both, you can’t have two masters,”’ Scott Paterno recalled. Curley and Gary Schultz, the university’s senior vice president for finance and business, were charged Saturday with failing to reporttostateandcountyofficials that a witness told them he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a naked boy in the locker room showers in 2002. Schultz and Curley were both also charged with perjury. Lawyers for all three men have said they are innocent. “I understand that people are upset and angry, but let’s be fair and let the legal process unfold,” Paterno said in the statement. “In themeantimeIwouldaskallPenn Staters to continue to trust in what that name represents, continue to pursue their lives every day with high ideals and not let these events shake their beliefs nor who they are.” A Hall of Famer, Paterno on Oct. 29 won his 409th victory, most among Division I coaches. Penn State was off this weekend and next plays Nebraska on Saturday in the home finale.

questions. Who gets to pick the successor? Will that new coach come from the Penn State family? Six of Paterno’s assistant coaches worked with Sandusky during his years as defensive coordinator or played at the same time he coached. Tom Bradley, considered the most likely among current staff to succeed Paterno, replaced Sandusky as defensive coordinator in 2000 after working for him as defensive backs coach. Would the trustees or Spanier or whoever is selecting the new coach accept Bradley, a lifelong, loyal Penn Stater, or would they want to make a clean break from anyone who worked with Sandusky? And what about past players, such as Miami coach Al Golden, who played tight end for the Nittany Lions from 1989 through 1991 but not on Sandusky’s defense? A look at candidates outside Penn State finds former Florida coach Urban Meyer, now an ESPN commentator, with a huge lead should he want to return to the profession. Meyer is considered the front-runner for other jobs, too, such as Ohio State coach. The theory is that he would wait to see what NCAA penalties will be levied against Ohio State after Buckeyes violations in which players exchanged memorabilia for tattoos. But memorabilia for tattoos seems to pale in comparison to reports of criminal sexual abuse by an assistant coach — 20 of the 40 counts in the indictment against Sandusky allegedly took place while he was part of Penn State’s coaching staff — and Meyer could very well say, “No thanks,” to that. These are only a few questions regarding the future of those in charge of Penn State’s football program. But it’s small stuff given the black eye the grand jury report handed not just the team, but the entire university. Penn State needs a strong hand to repair its stained image before it concerns itself with current and future football coaches.

Joe Juliano is a columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

“If true, the nature and amount of charges made are very shocking to me and all Penn Staters,” he said. “While I did what I was supposed to with the one charge brought to my attention, like anyone else involved I can’t help but be deeply saddened these matters are alleged to have occurred.” Insteadofexcitedchatterabout a potential Big Ten title after a surprising 8-1 start, the focus is squarely on the disturbing abuse charges. An athletic department spokesman said Paterno would not be available to talk to reporters until his regularly-scheduled Tuesday media availabilities, and referred all comment to the university’s media relations department. There were busy signals Sunday to several calls to Paterno’s home. In his record 46 years on the job, he’s never faced a crisis quite like the one now hovering over Happy Valley like a dark cloud. While other programs were plagued by controversy after controversy — Ohio State and Miami this year, for instance — Penn State, one of the storied programs in the college football history, seemingly just rolled right along with about as much buzz as their plain blueand-white uniforms, holding true to their slogan “Success with Honor.” Miami coach Al Golden, a former Penn State tight end, returned to his alma mater in 2000 as a linebacker coach and recruiting coordinator. Golden was hired to fill the vacancy created when Sandusky retired in 1999. “Shocked and disheartened,” Golden said. “But other than that, I really don’t know much about it or what’s going on. But the news that I did learn, I was shocked and disheartened, like so many others, I’m sure.” Golden has remained close with several people at the school and still speaks with the highest regard for Joe Paterno.

WORLD SERIES OF POKER

Frantic eliminations bounce 5 By OSKAR GARCIA Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Five rapid-fire eliminations Sunday — including two players bounced on consecutive hands — brought the World Series of Poker one bust away from a Tuesday night showdown and guaranteed each of the top four finishers at least $3 million each. Eoghan O’Dea, the 26-yearold son of an Irish poker professional, was eliminated in sixth after losing most of his chips in earlier hands and collapsing from a start at second in chips. He earned $1.7 million. O’Dea was then followed by 26-year-old Las Vegas professional Phil Collins, who moved in against chip leader Pius Heinz with an ace-seven but found Heinz with pocket nines. Collins won $2.3 million for fifth place. “I’m happy with the money, but not with the result,” said Collins, who started the day fourth in chips. Four players, 26-year-old Las Vegas poker pros Ben Lamb and Matt Giannetti, plus the 22-yearold Heinz and 35-year-old Martin Staszko of the Czech Republic, were each guaranteed at least $3 million each. Badih Bounahra, a 49-year-old grocery wholesaler from Belize, finished seventh after gambling the last of his chips with an acefive and losing to Staszko. He

wouldn’t have caught it,” Ballard said. “You dream about making catches like that.” And Ballard’s number? The same as Tyree’s, 85. Manning, of course, threw all those passes, outplaying Tom Brady, who is known for his fourth-quarter comebacks. “I’d rather be down by three with a minute-thirty (left) than up by four with a minute-thirty with Tom Brady, with their offense on the field,” Manning said. “You like those situations where you have an opportunity to go win the game.” The Giants (6-2) kept their two-game lead in the NFC East over the Dallas Cowboys. The Patriots (5-3) are tied with the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, next week’s opponent, atop the AFC East. “We’ve got half the season to go,” Brady said. “We’ll see what our team’s made of this week.” The loss ended several impressive streaks: wins in an NFL record 31 regular-season starts at home for Brady and in 20 regular-season home games for the Patriots. Brady did throw a touchdown pass for the 24th straight regular-season home games. But the Patriots lost consecutive games for just the third time since the start of the 2003 season. The Giants won for the sixth time in seven games. “We got a little carried away,” defensive end Justin Tuck said when asked about players lifting coach Tom Coughlin on their

earned $1.31 million. His ouster came just after Anton Makiievskyi was eliminated in eighth and Sam Holden went out in ninth place, and just before Collins risked his tournament life and doubled his stack through fellow American Ben Lamb. “I don’t know what happened,” Makiievskyi said. “I don’t know how I’ll feel like in an hour.” Three of the four shortest stacks were the first eliminated from the final table $10,000 buyin no-limit Texas Hold ‘em tournament. But Heinz, a poker professional from Cologne, Germany, who was taking a break from school to evaluate his future in poker, stormed to the chip lead after 2 1/2 hours of play, knocking O’Dea from his second place perch to a serious chip disadvantage. “He (Heinz) came in with guns blazing,” Holden said. Heinz and Eoghan O’Dea tangled during one hand with more than 44 million in chips at stake, with Heinz shoving all-in over O’Dea’s river bet of 8.2 million chips. O’Dea folded an ace-high. Heinz won the hand with pocket queens. “Yeah, it probably killed me a bit,” O’Dea said. Meanwhile, Giannetti quietly doubled his starting chip stack

over the first 4 1/2 hours of play, pushing into second in chips before dinner as the only stack that mounted a serious immediate threat to Heinz. The nine players from seven countries started play Sunday in Las Vegas before a raucous casino crowd and more watching nearly live on TV. Machines filled the air with smoke around the massive set. Skimpily-dressed girls fired Tshirts through air launchers into the crowd. Family and friends of the players waved flags, wore wigs and battled with dueling chants. Makiievskyi said it was distracting. “I don’t think it affected my play but I don’t like it,” he said. “It sometimes was too loud during the game.” The action was far more intense on the felt, where O’Dea moved up in chips at first, then lost 25.7 million in just a couple hours. Nobody was eliminated in the first 2 1/2 hours, before a break. Levels go up every two hours, making each players’ chips worth a little bit less in the game. The players returned to the table after 3 1/2 months of reflection and study. They are the top finishers from a field of 6,865 entrants who started in the tournament in July.

shoulders in the locker room. “Considering how good that team is and what they’ve done here in the last 20 games, it was a big win, and to win it in the fashion that we won it, it brings back memories.” For a while, it looked like the Patriots would win with a comeback when Brady threw a 14yard pass to Rob Gronkowski, making it 20-17 with 1:36 to go. But the Giants had enough time. And they had Manning. They were helped by a 20yard pass interference penalty against Sergio Brown that put the ball at the 1 with 30 seconds left. “I was looking at the ball the whole time,” Brown said. “I was surprised. They come and tell us as long as we’re looking at the ball we can play the ball.” Three plays later, Manning found Ballard in the back left corner of the end zone. “I knew I’d be hit hard,” Ballard said. “I concentrated as hard as I could.” He was guarded by Kyle Arrington. “We’re going to be hard on ourselves,” Arrington said. “We don’t take losing well.” After a scoreless first half, the Patriots took their first lead, 1310, on Stephen Gostkowski’s 45yard field goal with 7:08 to go in the game. Manning then led the Giants on an 85-yard march to a 10-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with 3:03 remaining. The Giants won despite injuries that kept their top rusher, Ahmad Bradshaw, and leading receiver, Hakeem Nicks, from making the trip. But New York’s defense pressured Brady much

of the game, coming up with two sacks and two interceptions. Manning completed 20 of 39 passes for 250 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Brady was 28 for 49 for 342 yards and two touchdowns. Both quarterbacks struggled throughout the first half. The offense was so bad that fans booed when Brady threw an incompletion with 8:30 left in the third quarter. They cheered on the next play when Aaron Ross fumbled Zoltan Mesko’s punt and Rob Ninkovich recovered. But the Patriots managed just a 32-yard field goal by Gostkowski that cut the lead to 10-3. The Giants punted on the next series and got the ball back when Spencer Paysinger recovered Julian Edelman’s fumble. Manning moved the Giants from the Patriots 40 to a thirdand-goal at the 5, then threw an interception to Arrington in the end zone. Seven plays later, Brady hit Aaron Hernandez for a 5yard touchdown, tying the game at 10 just 32 seconds into the fourth quarter. The Giants had much better field position in the first half, starting at their 23, 22, 36, 28, 25 and 49. But all those series ended with punts. The Patriots began at their 5, 6, 17, 20, 11 and 9. They punted four times and lost one interception before wasting their best scoring opportunity when Gostkowski pulled his 27-yard field goal attempt to the left with 3 seconds remaining. On that drive, the Patriots had five first downs, matching their total to that point.

NHL ROUNDUP

RUNNING

Gaborik scores twice; Rangers blank Jets

Mutai, Dado win at NYC Marathon

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Marian Gaborik scored on an odd-man rush and into an empty net in the third period and Derek Stepan had a goal and an assist to help the New York Rangers beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 Sunday night. Martin Biron stopped 23 shots for his first shutout in more than two years, improving to 3-0 in his fourth appearance of the season. The Rangers won their fourth straight despite another inefficient performance by the power play. The Jets still are 3-2-1 on a seven-game road trip. A night after they only scored on a two-man advantage in nine power plays, the Rangers came up empty in more than 90 seconds of two-man advantage. For Gaborik’s second goal, he backhanded the puck up and over Zach Bogosian from the blue line into the empty net. Stepan’s goal came on the Rangers’ second power play of the night. With Andrew Ladd off for high-sticking, Stepan buried a chance at 10:01 of the second period. Gaborik and Michael Del Zotto assisted. Stepan leads the Rangers with four points on the power play, after an assist on Saturday night against Montreal and Sunday’s goal.

Ondrej Pavelec made 24 saves and kept the Jets in the game for most of it, including when he made nearly identical saves to thwart Erik Christensen on the doorstep during the long 5-on-3. He was outplayed by Biron, who had to make few spectacular plays, but kept the puck out during a long first-period scrum in the crease during which the puck wasn’t blown dead for several long seconds. For most of the night, the game was a low-energy affair between two teams that played the night before.

Lightning 4, Panthers 3 SUNRISE, Fla. — Dominic Moore scored the shootout winner to lift the Tampa Bay Lightning to a win over the Florida Panthers. Ryan Malone, Steven Stamkos, and Teddy Purcell also scored for the Lightning. Dwayne Roloson stopped all 29 shots he faced after coming in late in the first period in relief of Mathieu Garon. Stars 5, Hurricanes 2 RALEIGH, N.C. — Jamie Benn scored twice, including a shorthanded goal, to lead the Stars to a win over the Hurri-

canes. Michael Ryder added a goal and an assist, and Erik Nystrom and Stephane Robidas also scored for Dallas, which is off to a 10-3-0 start. Loui Eriksson had three assists for the Stars, two of them on Benn’s goals. Chad LaRose and Tuomo Ruutu scored power-play goals for Carolina, which dropped its second straight in the only meeting between these teams this season. Canucks 6, Blackhawks 2 CHICAGO — Henrik Sedin had a goal and three assists and Vancouver converted five of six power plays to lift the Canucks to a win over the Blackhawks. David Booth, Aaron Rome, Daniel Sedin and Dan Hamhuis each added power-play goals and Jannik Hansen had Van-

couver’s only even-strength score as the Canucks (7-7-1) handed the Blackhawks their first regulation home loss. Michael Frolik and Marcus Kruger scored for Chicago (83-3), which went 0-for-5 on the power play and has scored just once in its last 26 chances. Flames 2, Avalanche 1 DENVER — Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 32 shots, Mark Giordano and Curtis Glencross each had a goal and the Flames beat the Avalanche. Calgary’s Alex Tanguay and Scott Hannan each had an assist against their old team. Semyon Varlamov had 21 saves and Paul Stastny scored the lone goal for the Avalanche, which fell to 1-5 on home ice. They’ve scored just eight goals in those six home games.

NEW YORK — Geoffrey Mutai likes his chances in any championship-style marathon. The Kenyan has turned in two eye-popping performances in seven months in races without pace-setters after he shattered the course record in the New York City Marathon on Sunday. He figures to be the favorite at next summer’s London Games — if he can make the Olympic team in a country so deep in the sport. Mutai’s performance was no surprise after he ran the fastest marathon ever earlier this year. Firehiwot Dado wasn’t a favorite coming into the women’s race and victory seemed impossible with even a few miles left. But the Ethiopian made a stunning comeback for her first major marathon title. Mutai finished in 2 hours, 5 minutes, 6 seconds, crushing the previous mark of 2:07:43 set by Tesfaye Jifar of Ethiopia a decade earlier. In April, Mutai ran the fastest 26.2 miles in history: 2:03:02 in Boston. It didn’t count as a world record because the course is considered too straight and too downhill. “I am happy now because

even although it was not recognized, I’m happy to be at that level,” Mutai said. “And I know one day, maybe I can come to do something. The course here — it was tough. But the weather was so good. I think I’ll try to maintain myself to prove it right.” With little wind on a cool, sunny day, the conditions were perfect for fast times. The secondand third-place finishers also broke the old course record. Fellow Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai (no relation), the London Marathon champ and course-record holder, ran a 2:06:28. Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia was third in 2:07:14. Defending champ Gebre Gebremariam of Ethiopia was fourth. Dado trailed London Marathon champ Mary Keitany by nearly 21⁄2 minutes at the 15-mile mark but passed her with about a mile left. The 27-year-old Dado won in 2:23:15 — almost a minute better than her previous personal best. “Because she’d been running so fast from the very beginning, I didn’t imagine that we’d catch her,” Dado said. “But when we did get closer and we saw her, I was very surprised and I was very happy.”

Stewart closes gap with victory Second straight win pulls Tony Stewart to within three points of Chase leader Edwards. By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas — Another round to Tony Stewart, and quite a fight for the Cup title with two races left. Stewart raced to his second consecutive victory, and won for the fourth time in eight NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup races, finishing just ahead of points leader Carl Edwards in the so-called “Texas Title Fight” that fully lived up to its billing Sunday. And Stewart backed up his challenge. After winning last week at Martinsville, Stewart got out of his car in Victory Lane and said Edwards “better be worried. That’s all I’m saying.” Now it appears to be a two-driver fight for the championship with two races left after they finished 1-2 at the 11⁄2-mile, highbanked Texas track. Stewart cut his points deficit from eight points to three with an average speed of 152.705 mph, the fastest Cup race at Texas, and a 1.092-second margin over Edwards. “We’re set on it, man. This is just the way it’s going to be,” Stewart said. “I don’t think we have to say anything (else). I think our performance today speaks for itself. He knows already, trust me.” The series returns next week to Phoenix, where the track has been reconfigured and resurfaced since Stewart was seventh and Edwards 28th there in February in the second race this season, and then to Homestead-Miami Speedway for the finale. Edwards won both races at the end of last season. Stewart led seven times for a race-high 173 of 334 laps, and more importantly stayed ahead of Edwards down the stretch.

On a restart with 60 laps to go after the second caution in a matter of laps, Edwards was the leader and on the inside of Stewart. Coming out of Turn 2, Stewart shot by onto the backstretch and charged back to the lead. “He timed it just right,” said Edwards, who led three times for 14 laps. Stewart stayed in front until both made their final stops with 31laps left. Though they dropped out of the 1-2 spots on the track during the cycle of green-flag stops, more importantly for Stewart was that he stayed ahead of Edwards. The last lead change came with five laps left when Jeff Burton, who was trying to match Edwards as a three-time Cup winner at Texas, ran out of fuel. Burton had been the only car not to make a late stop, and was trying to stretch his last tank to the end. During the first of those two cautions in a span of only six laps, Edwards had taken his first lead in more than 150 laps when he got only two tires and jumped from third to first out of the pits. Stewart also took only two tires on that

stop, but came out second. When Stewart came down pit road after the race, Edwards stuck his head in and shared a few words with his closest competitor. “I just told him, ’Good job.’ He did a great job today. Those guys stepped it up,” Edwards said. “I’m proud of my guys for hanging on and still having the points lead. It looks like it’s truly going to come down to Tony and I, and that’s going to be a lot of fun.” Kyle Busch was officially eliminated from championship contention, unable to gain any points while watching his No. 18 Toyota going around the track from atop the pit box. He’s 100 points back with two races left. Michael McDowell drove the Joe Gibbs-owned car and finished 33rd, three laps behind the leaders. Busch was parked by NASCAR — a rarely used penalty he couldn’t appeal — for the Cup and Nationwide races after deliberating wrecking championship contender Ron Hornaday Jr. in the Truck Series race Friday night. Busch issued an apology Satur-

day night and said he understood why he was penalized. Five-time champion Jimmie Johnson moved closer to the end of his unprecedented championship run when he finished 14th. He remained sixth in points, 55 back. Stewart and Edwards were greeted at Texas with lockers complete with boxing gloves and robes, a tale of the tape and banners declaring a “Texas Title Fight” matching Cousin Carl vs. Smoke. Another banner hung near Victory lane featuring boxing promoter Don King and TMS president Eddie Gossage. When Edwards and Stewart were announced at the end of driver introductions, when Chase contenders were presented in order of the standings, there was also the sound of a ringside bell. They were in close vicinity of each other all day after starting nose-to-tail. Stewart qualified fifth and Edwards seventh. After 85 laps, before the second round of green-flag pit stops before any cautions, Matt Kenseth was leading with Edwards and Stewart running 2-3, though there was a 4-second gap between them. After 200 laps, when Stewart was leading and Edwards was running sixth — the farthest they were seperated all day — they were even in points. Stewart didn’t have a win this season before opening the10-race Chase with victories at Chicagoland and New Hampshire. Now he’s won two more. Edwards’ only win this season came eight months ago at Las Vegas, where Stewart was the runner-up. But Edwards has 17 topfive finishes, and his lowest in the chase was 11th at Talladega. Kasey Kahne finished third at Texas, followed by Matt Kenseth and polesitter Greg Biffle. Kevin Harvick remained third in the standings, but dropped from 21 to 33 points behind Edwards after finishing 13th.

Big comeback, big finish lead Kaymer to win HSBC

The Associated Press

SHANGHAI — Martin Kaymer was five shots behind and going nowhere Sunday, making nothing but pars when he needed much more to give himself a chance in the HSBC Champions. From a deep bunker in front of the seventh green, he holed the sand shot for a birdie, and suddenly the game felt easy. Very easy. That was the start of an amazing finish for Kaymer, who ran off nine birdies over the last 12 holes to blow past Fredrik Jacobson and a host of stars on his way to a 9-under 63 and a three-shot victory at Sheshan International. “I didn’t miss a lot of golf shots,” Kaymer said. It’s a wonder he didn’t birdie them all. He missed a 3-foot birdie putt on the ninth, and failed to birdie the par-5 14th and the 16th hole that plays about 288 yards and can be reached with a 3-wood. No matter. Kaymer wound up setting two World Golf Championship records that showed just how well the “Germanator” played on a cool, overcast day in Shanghai. It was the largest comeback (five shots) in the final round, and his 63 was the lowest final round by a winner since this series began in 1999. “I just played really good golf, and I’m glad that it came together,” Kaymer said. “Because the last few weeks, I played good golf but it has not happened yet. And this week, it was nice that it happened here, the World Golf Championship event.” Kaymer, the PGA champion at Whistling Straits last year, became the 10th player to have won a major and a WGC event. His standard of golf was so high that it nearly shifted attention away from caddie Steve Williams and the racial comment he made about Tiger Woods earlier in the week at a caddies award party. That still lingered, however. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and European Tour chief executive George O’Gra-

dy issued a statement on behalf of the six major tours that there was “no place for any form of racism is ours or any other sport” and that Williams’ comment was “unacceptable in whatever context.” Even so, the tours said Williams’ apology for his racial slur against Woods — “It was my aim to shove it up his black a------” — was sufficient enough that they considered the matter closed and declined further comment. Adam Scott, who has employed Williams since Woods fired the caddie, closed with a 73 and tied for 11th. Scott said he was comfortable with the tours’ statement, which matched his own feelings, and that he “absolutely” would keep Williams on the bag. Charles Schwab Championship SAN FRANCISCO — Jay Don Blake won the Charles Schwab Championship for his second victory of the year following a 20-year drought, and Tom Lehman took the season points title and $1 million annuity. Blake closed with an evenpar 71 for a two-stroke victory in the Champions Tour’s season finale. He finished at 8under 276 at TPC Harding Park. Mark Calcavecchia (69), Loren Roberts (70), Michael Allen (71) and Jay Haas (71) tied for second. Mizuno Classic SHIMA, Japan — Japan’s Momoko Ueda won the Mizuno Classic for the second time in five seasons, beating China’s Shanshan Feng with a 15-foot birdie putt on the third hole of playoff. Ueda, also the 2007 winner in the event sanctioned by the LPGA Tour and Japan LPGA, closed with a 3-under 69 to match Feng at 16 under at Kintetsu Kashikojima. The victory, Ueda’s first since the 2009 AXA Ladies Open, was her second on the LPGA Tour and ninth on the Japan LPGA.

BREEDERS’ CUP

Classic result scrambles Horse of Year picture By BETH HARRIS AP Racing Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Drosselmeyer’s upset victory in the Breeders’ Cup Classic scrambled the picture for Horse of the Year, an award that went to Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta the last two years. Filly Havre de Grace (HA’-vur-duhgrays) would have wrapped up the honor with a victory in the $5 million Classic at Churchill Downs on Saturday. She finished fourth. “She sure didn’t do anything to tarnish her reputation,” trainer Larry Jones said. Havre de Grace had already beaten the boys this year in the Woodward at Saratoga. Owner Rick Porter knew his filly could have run in the Ladies’ Classic on Friday as the favorite and likely won. But he wanted to make an aggressive push for Horse of the Year. It was the first time in 15 starts that Havre de Grace didn’t finish in the money. Game On Dude, who led most of the way in the Classic before getting beat by 1 1/2 lengths, could have his supporters among the voters. “He has been kind of under the radar,” his jockey Chantal Sutherland said. “I think it would be fair and honorable and I think he’s deserving.”

Uncle Mo was close to pacesetter Game On Dude early before fading to 10th in the 12-horse field. “He looked like he was kind of struggling with the surface,” trainer Todd Pletcher said. Goldikova was another of Saturday’s upset victims, finishing third in the

Mile after winning it the three previous years. The French mare, who is set to retire, was third in Horse of the Year voting last year. “Maybe she’s lost a little bit of what she had that made her so great,” trainer Freddy Head said. “But that’s life. That’s racing.” The Classic typically plays a major role in deciding the top Eclipse Award. Last year, Blame won the Classic by a head over Zenyatta only to have voters give the award to the superstar mare whose popularity exceeded the sport’s niche audience. In 2009, Rachel Alexandra beat the boys in the Preakness and won the award, while Zenyatta finished second. Drosselmeyer added the Classic to his resume that includes winning the 2010 Belmont Stakes. “Drosselmeyer showed up again on a big day,” Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott said. The 4-year-old colt is headed to a stud career in New York next year. With wins by Drosselmeyer in the Classic and Royal Delta in the Ladies’ Classic, Mott joined John Shirreffs as the only trainers to sweep both races at the same Breeders’ Cup. Shirreffs won the 2009 Classic with Zenyatta and Life Is Sweet took the Ladies’ Classic.

Lonely neighborhood boy needs woman’s sympathy, not suspicion Dear Abby: Our neighbor’s son, “Donny,” has become a regular fixture in our home. His parents divorced years ago, and his father is terminally ill. Donny has “adopted” me as a father figure. We have spent a great deal of time together. Not having a son — I have daughters — I admit that being with him is a novelty. My wife, on the other hand, feels no one should “infiltrate” her family. There are few boys in our neighborhood, and Donny isn’t old enough to venture to other streets in search of playmates. I can’t bring myself to turn him away knowing how lonely he is and how difficult his life will be-

DEAR ABBY ADVICE come. I worry that he’s a prime candidate for a predator, or that he could start drinking or smoking at an early age. I’d rather have him in our house where I know he’s safe. My wife says we can’t save everyone, and I know that. But when I hear about the bad things that happen to kids on the news, it makes me wonder where was someone who could have helped them. How can I get my wife to see this is a chance to make a difference in this boy’s life, and that he’s no threat to our family unit? — Friend of a Lonely Child

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Friend: Your wife appears to be responding to Donny on an emotional rather than a rational level. Because she didn’t “produce” a son, she views the time or emotional nourishment that you give Donny as something being taken away from her daughters. It’s possible that a religious adviser could help her to view this differently, but if she can’t find sympathy in her heart for the boy, then I recommend you talk to Donny’s mother about finding a Big Brother for him, through her religious denomination. Dear Abby: My 16-year-old son, “Victor,” is hearing-impaired. He wears hearing aids in both ears. The aids are small and not easily seen. Recently we were in a new doctor’s office, and the nurse was talking to

CRYPTOQUOTE

my son but looking in another direction. When I explained that Victor is hearing-impaired and couldn’t hear her, she replied, “Oh, I know teenagers — selective hearing.” I said, “No, he is hearing-impaired and wears hearing aids.” The same thing happened at summer camp. My husband said Victor has a hearing problem, and the counselor responded with, “So I need to smack him on the side of his head to get him to listen?” Please inform your readers that hearing aids aren’t just for older people. My son has informed people he wears hearing aids because he can’t hear well, and he still gets the same retorts. Have you any suggestions? — Not Being Flippant in Pennsylvania

Dear Not Being Flippant: Oh, yes. The nurse in your doctor’s office was tactless. If she didn’t apologize for her comment, you should have mentioned it to the doctor so he could educate her not only about hearing loss, but also about diplomacy. As to the ignorant camp counselor, your husband should have immediately reported it to the camp director.

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are capable of having many feelings at once, but only the strongest one will compel you to act. That’s why you might go without food or rest in order to get something exciting accomplished. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some people will push your buttons for as long as you let them get away with it. Your ability to set boundaries will save you from being put out by others. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re ready to move to the next level of personal development. You will feel brave, and you’ll also have a new sense of purpose. You will say what you’ve been unable to say: the words that will set you free. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be in a position to get to the bottom of what’s going on between people you know. The person who swallows hard, wears a fake grin or reacts by asking too many questions is lying. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You expect that others will behave as responsibly and honorably as you do. Yet, those words don’t mean the same thing to every person. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll feel reflective. You’ll consider your life as it might appear “on paper.” It’s as though you were filling out a job application. Let the best of what you’ve done stand out in your mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This day may start out at a lethargic pace, but a mid-morning event will kick you into high productivity. By evening, you’ll be back to living life on the edge, as usual.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your hobby or special interest poses an interesting challenge. You’re uniquely suited to answer the call. The only way to know how far you can go with this is to take off and see. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not ready to let others know what you really want, although they probably do already. No matter how you try to conceal your interest, there’s a burning passion underneath the surface that gives you away. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your goals may take years to achieve. You will get there, provided you don’t lose hope. The leap of faith you take today may seem small, but it’s actually a shortcut that catapults you ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may wake up and find that you don’t want the same things you once did. One of the ways you keep your energy fresh is by allowing your dreams to shift and change. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone considers you to be a superstar, and you’re not really seeing yourself as worthy of the title. Dare to give yourself more credit. It’s well deserved. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 7). It’s your year to let your heart lead you into happy arrangements. This month, you’ll make an important trade that favorably affects your finances.
