Asked if his son was good on the links, Thomas Lloyd laughed. “He’s not a big golfer,” he said. Steven Lloyd graduated from Wyoming Area in 1978 and went on to college, though his father couldn’t recall which one. He described his son as “a good man” who is “well known” thanks in part to his work on the nine-hole course in Harding. Applewood has a strong enough reputation to be voted “best golf course” in a 2009 “Local Flavor” contest by The Abington Journal, owned by the same company as The Times Leader.

Casey sees benefit in Sirhan innocent, lawyers say Social Security tax cut

President Obama will back the proposal at his appearance in Scranton on Wednesday. By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – Lowering the Social Security payroll tax next year is “the right thing to do” to aid middle class families and the still faltering economic recovery, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, DScranton, said Monday. With President Obama set to visit Scranton on Wednesday to make a pitch for the proposal, Casey formally unveiled legislation seeking to extend the current one-year payroll tax cut expiring Dec. 31 and expand the size of the cut for 2012. Obama will appear at Scranton High School. The event begins 2:45 p.m. and a limited number of tickets were distributed Monday to the public. Casey spoke to reporters Monday during a conference call, along with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. Reid plans to bring the payroll tax cut proposal up for a Senate vote later this week. Casey and other Senate Democrats want to pay for the about $250 billion cost of the temporary tax cut with a permanent 3.25 percent surcharge on the income taxes paid by people making more than $1 million a year. The payroll tax cut in effect this year slashed the rate from 6.2 to 4.2 percent. That saved a family earning $50,000 about $1,000. Now, Senate Democrats want to cut the payroll tax to 3.1 percent for next year, which Casey said would save an average family about $1,500 for next year and spur the type of spending that can boost the economy. Casey said the tax cut also applies to employers – on the first $5 million of a payroll – and would encourage more hiring. Casey released a county-by-

POLICE BLOTTER

county list of how the expanded tax cut for 2012 would impact Pennsylvania. For instance, in Luzerne Casey County a family earning the county median household income of $39,984 would save $1,240 – and would pay an additional $800 in 2012 if the current tax cut is allowed to expire. Casey also cited Mark Zandi of Moody’s Analytics as an example of the economists who say extending the payroll tax cut is vital to efforts to boost the economy. Zandi has estimated that extending the payroll tax cut could create 750,000 jobs, Casey said. The payroll tax cut has a “substantial impact for employers and employees,” Casey said. “We know this works. This is the right thing to do…and we have got to do this by the end of the year.” Casey and his fellow Democrats said they hope extending the payroll tax cut will draw bipartisan support. But the Senate’s top Republican said Monday that it is a just a temporary measure that won’t create many jobs or boost the economy significantly, and charged the surcharge on millionaires will hit job-creating small businesses. “Any attempt to pass another temporary stimulus funded by a permanent tax hike on the very people we’re counting on to create the private-sector jobs we need is purely political, and not intended to do a thing to help the economy, since we all know it’s likely to fail with bipartisan opposition,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Monday on the Senate floor. Some Republicans also question the wisdom of tampering with the Social Security payroll tax, though Reid said the tax cut is structured so as not to impact at all on the retirement program’s long-term solvency.

Attorneys contend someone else killed Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.

By LINDA DEUTSCH AP Special Correspondent

LOS ANGELES — Lawyers representing convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan argue in newly filed court documents that a bullet was switched in evidence at his trial and new forensic details show he is innocent of the 1968 killing of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. In the latest of many appeals filed on behalf of Sirhan, the attorneys are seeking to overturn his conviction. They repeated a previous assertion and presented reports from experts who said Sirhan was programmed through hypnosis to fire shots as a diversion for the real killer. Prosecutors had no comment, said Lynda Gledhill, a spokeswoman for the California attorney general’s office, which is handling the appeal. The lawyers, William F. Pepper and Laurie Dusek, also said sophisticated audio tests recently conducted on recordings from the assassination night show 13 shots from multiple guns were fired — five more than Sirhan could have fired from his small pistol. Authorities have claimed eight bullets were fired, with three hitting Kennedy and the rest flying wildly around the kitchen and striking five other victims who survived. Paul Schrade, who was struck by gunfire, refused to comment on the new filing, saying he is working on his own new analysis of the assassination. Pepper and Dusek argue that before Sirhan’s trial, someone switched a bullet before it was placed in evidence because the bullet taken from Kennedy’s neck did not match Sirhan’s gun. The lawyers suggest a second gun was involved in the assassination, but they do not know who fired it. Pepper said the new evidence outlined in a 62-page federal court brief filed in Los Angeles is sufficient to prove Sirhan is innocent under the law. “They put fabricated evidence into court before the judge and jury” Pepper told The Associated Press. “We are satisfied that for the first time in 43 years of this case we think we have the

evidence to set this conviction aside.” The motion was filed last week in federal court in Los Angeles. Whether it has any chance of success is questionable, said leading appellate lawyer Dennis Fischer of Santa Monica. “It’s a longshot in the longest way,” he said, “but they certainly are raising intriguing questions.” He said the passage of time weighs against defense appeals, with courts tending to ask what took so long to raise the issues. However, he said federal courts frequently are willing to take a closer look at cases in which governmental misconduct is alleged, even if it is long after the fact. “The current thinking by the U.S. Supreme Court is these things need to end,” said Fischer. But he added in case with such historical importance, “No one will ever be satisfied.” Sirhan, now 67, a Palestinian immigrant, was denied parole after a hearing last March where he denied any memory of shooting Kennedy on June 5, 1968, moments after he claimed victory in the California presidential primary. Parole officials said he doesn’t understand the enormity of his crime that changed U.S. history. Pepper and Dusek are the latest attorneys to take up Sirhan’s case after his conviction and ar-

gue on his behalf before parole boards and courts.. All of his appeals have been turned down. Pepper, who has taken on other unpopular cases including that of Martin Luther King assassin James Earl Ray, stepped in after Sirhan’s previous lawyer died. At trial, Sirhan took the witness stand and said he had killed Kennedy “with 20 years of malice aforethought.” He later recanted the confession. Prosecutors introduced in evidence handwritten diaries in which he wrote: “RFK must die.” The latest filing by Pepper and Dusek relies heavily on a report by audio analyst Philip Van Praag who did tests on an audio recording made by a news reporter during the shooting. The expert concluded that 13 shots were fired and that none of the sounds on the recording were echoes or other anomalies. The report also claims that the sounds of gunfire were not isolated to one spot in the room but came from different directions. The lawyers also contend that Sirhan did not have adequate assistance of counsel at trial, noting that his chief attorney, Grant Cooper, decided Sirhan was guilty at the outset and never pursued available defenses. The Sirhan defense team settled on a claim of diminished capacity and never denied that Sirhan was the shooter of Kennedy, the brief noted.

Stalin’s daughter dies at age 85 Lana Peters, better known as Svetlana Alliluyeva, died of colon cancer. By SCOTT BAUER Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — Soviet dictator Josef Stalin’s daughter, whose defection to the West during the Cold War embarrassed the ruling communists and made her a best-selling author, has died. She was 85. Lana Peters — who was known internationally by her previous name, Svetlana Alliluyeva — died of colon cancer Nov. 22 in Wisconsin, where she lived off and on after becoming a U.S. citizen, Richland County Coroner Mary Turner said Monday. Her defection in 1967 — which she said was partly motivated by the poor treatment of her late husband, Brijesh Singh, by Soviet authorities — caused an international furor and was a public relations coup for the U.S. But Peters, who left behind two children, said her identity involved more than just switching from one side to the other in the Cold War. She even moved back to the Soviet Union in the 1980s, only to return to the U.S. more than a year later. When she left the Soviet Union in 1966 for India, she planned to leave the ashes of her late third husband, an Indian citizen, and return. Instead, she walked unannounced into the U.S. embassy in New Delhi and asked for political asylum. After a brief stay in Switzerland, she flew

to the U.S. Peters carried with her a memoir she had written in 1963 about her life in Russia. “Twenty LetPeters ters to a Friend” was published within months of her arrival in the U.S. and became a best-seller. Upon her arrival in New York City in 1967, the 41-year-old said: “I have come here to seek the self-expression that has been denied me for so long in Russia.” She said she had come to doubt the communism she was taught growing up and believed there weren’t capitalists or communists, just good and bad human beings. She had also found religion and believed “it was impossible to exist without God in one’s heart.” In the book, she recalled her father, who died in 1953 after ruling the nation for 29 years, as a distant and paranoid man. “He was a very simple man.

Very rude. Very cruel,” Peters told the Wisconsin State Journal in a rare interview in 2010. “There was nothing in him that was complicated. He was very simple with us. He loved me and he wanted me to be with him and become an educated Marxist.” Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin denounced Peters as a “morally unstable” and “sick person.” “I switched camps from the Marxists to the capitalists,” she recalled in a 2007 interview for the documentary “Svetlana About Svetlana.” But she said her identity was far more complex than that and never completely understood. “People say, ‘Stalin’s daughter, Stalin’s daughter,’ meaning I’m supposed to walk around with a rifle and shoot the Americans. Or they say, ‘No, she came here. She is an American citizen.’ That means I’m with a bomb against the others. No, I’m neither one. I’m somewhere in between. That ‘somewhere in between’ they can’t understand.”

Officials quiet on Carbon County death By Times Leader staff

WHITE HAVEN – Authorities remained tight-lipped Monday regarding the investigation into the death of a White Haven woman whose body was found in the Lehigh River on Friday morning. Joann Hagen, 63, was found in the river along the Lehigh Gorge State Park Trail east of Rockport Road in Carbon County. Carbon County Coroner

Bruce Nalesnik said an autopsy was performed on Hagen on Saturday. He declined to release the cause or manner of Hagen’s death, saying only that the case remains under investigation. The death is being investigated by state police in Hazleton and Kidder Township police. State police did not release any additional information regarding the case Monday. Kidder Township police referred all questions to state police.

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

A Luzerne County prosecutor is applauding a state Supreme Court ruling that closes a legal loophole that could have let some repeat drunken drivers avoid installing an interlock ignition device in order to restore their driving privileges. The high court’s ruling resolves a dispute regarding whether entry into a firsttime offenders program constitutes a “conviction” that triggers a law requiring an offender to install an interlock ignition – a device that prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver’s breath reveals alcohol use.

Whalen, who had challenged a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation directive that required him to install the interlock ignition as a condition to get his driver’s license back. First Assistant District Attorney Jeff Tokach said he’s not aware of any case in Luzerne County in which a driver has challenged the interlock law. He said he’s pleased by the Whalen ruling, which will have statewide impact, because it will help ensure repeat drunken drivers can’t circumvent a law designed to protect the public. “The ruling is good because it requires an interlock ignition device for any person who already had a DUI,” Tokach said. “That will hopefully prevent people who are intoxicated from having the

any driver who has had two or more drunken driving convictions within a 10year period to install an interlock device in order to restore driving privileges. Whalen was charged with drunken driving, his second offense, in 2007. The criminal case was resolved in 2009 after he entered into Mercer County’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program. The program allows a defendant to have their record expunged if they successfully complete a term of probation. Whalen argued he was not subject to the interlock ignition law because, technically, he was not “convicted” of drunken driving in the 2009 case because it was resolved through the ARD program. A Mercer County judge agreed. That rul-

Agolino’s is reopening

Landmark West Pittston restaurant returns after flood By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON – Even recordbreaking high water couldn’t keep this landmark down. Agolino’s Char-Grill Restaurant on Luzerne Avenue will re-open Friday – just under three months after a devastating flood filled the popular eatery with 7-1/2 feet of water. The doors will open at 7 a.m. and a ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. “I’m not ready to retire,” said owner Joe Agolino. “But this will be my last flood. If it happens again, I won’t go out of business, but I will move to higher ground.” Many of the businesses and homes near Agolino’s remain empty. Piles of flood debris line the streets. Signs on Antonio’s Restaurant and Crest Quality Cleaners down the street say “reopening soon.” It’s been a difficult recovery for West Pittston and other towns not protected by the levee system. Agolino and many of fellow flood victims are waiting for insurance money. But Agolino pushed for-

ward, determined to re-open as soon as possible. “We’ve gotten so much cooperation from our customers, friends, family and the borough,” Agolino said. “Without their help and dedication, we would never have been able to get back so soon.” What did it cost him to re-open? “Big money,” is all he would say. Agolino’s is a family business – Joe and his wife, Carmelina, have four children. Corinne and Sammy work at Agolino’s and Joey and Lisa work at Pazzo on Route 315, Jenkins Township. “This is all we know,” said Corinne, 32. “We’ve done this – the restaurant business – all of our lives.” Sam and Betty Agolino, Joe’s parents, opened the restaurant in 1962 as The Char-Grill. It featured giant hot dogs and pool tables. When Joe was in high school, he worked the store and loved the business. “That’s what I’ve missed the most the last three months,” he said. “I miss the people coming in daily, the conversations and the friendliness.

The counter has been moved to the back of the restaurant, and the kitchen sparkles with new stainless steel fixtures and equipment. Paintings by Sue Hand decorate the walls, and the “family friendly” atmosphere remains. “That’s the key – good food, good service and cleanliness,” Agolino said. “Our kitchen – with all that stainless steel – you won’t see that anywhere in the Valley.” Agolino said the place was gutted down to the exterior walls. Heaters were brought in immediately to dry the place out. “We never had any mold,” he said.

WILKES-BARRE – A city man who police say used a spear to kill his wife and injure other family members appeared Monday in Luzerne County Court, where his attorney told a judge the man is incompetent and cannot assist in his defense. William Ruzzo, an attorney for Harun Ngolo, 67, of Simpson Street, said in court papers filed recently that during visits with Ngolo at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility he became aware that Ngolo could not assist with his defense. Ngolo is charged with the June 2010 stabbing death of his wife, Maria Ngolo, and the injuring of his son, Moses Ngolo, and his 3-year-old grandson, Noah Cobin. Police said Harun Ngolo, an immigrant from Africa, used a homemade spear to attack his family during an argument over holiday plans. Psychiatrist Richard Fischbein examined Ngolo at the request of Ruzzo, who said Ngolo suffers from psychotic disorder and delusions, including that his wife is still alive and is with another man that she had a baby with, and that the people at the county prison have already killed him. Ngolo, a native of Zaire, now known as the Republic of Congo, believes he is dead, has refused food and medication and doesn’t understand why he is charged with murder when he believes his wife is still alive, Fischbein said in a report authored in May. Fischbein also wrote there is a question whether Ngolo may also have the beginning stages of dementia and he does not “maintain the capacity to stand trial.” Judge William Amesbury said he would give prosecutors time to have an psychiatrist examine Ngolo. He also said he would transfer Ngolo to a state hospital, where Ngolo can be evaluated and receive treatment to restore competency. According to court papers, officers were dispatched to the home for a fight between a father and son. When they arrived they found Moses Ngolo on the first floor with stab wounds to his chest and stomach. Police said a bloody Harun Ngolo was found standing over his wife. The Ngolos’ 3-year-old grandson was on the bed bloodied with cuts to his legs.

A Wilkes-Barre couple was killed in a crash on 1-78 after their car was hit by tractor-trailer early Sunday morning. State police at Hamburg said the crash occurred just after 4 a.m. in Bethel Township, Berks County. Police said Epifanio Cepeda, 73, of Parkview Circle, was pronounced dead at the scene. His wife, Teofila Nunez De Cepeda, 64, was flown to Reading Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Police said the accident happened after the couple’s 1993 Toyota was struck by a tractor-trailer driven by Charles Lorell Wegner, of Harrisonburg, Va., who was not injured in the crash. The interstate was closed for several hours Sunday after the accident. Police said the crash remains under investigation. The couple were among 10 people killed in crashes during the five-day Thanksgiving holiday driving period, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said. He said 326 other people were injured in the 1,007 crashes investigated by troopers during the period that began Nov. 23 and ended Nov. 27.

In overturning those rulings, the Supreme Court acknowledged that acceptance of an ARD is not considered a conviction. The court noted that an ARD has been found to be the equivalent to a conviction under certain circumstances, however, including for purposes of computing sentences for subsequent convictions. The court determined a person who enters into the ARD program has acknowledged they committed the crime, regardless of whether it technically constitutes a conviction, by virtue of their acceptance of the terms of the ARD program. They would not accept those terms, the court reasoned, if they did not acknowledge they committed the offense.

Ill Cardinal Bevilacqua testifies in abuse hearing By JOHN P. MARTIN and JOSHUA FERNANDEZ The Philadelphia Inquirer

In a historic but private hearing, a judge and lawyers began questioning Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua on Monday about how he and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia responded to years of allegations that its priests sexually abused children. Bevilacqua, 88, testified for nearly three hours Monday. His testimony will resume this morning, according to a statement released by Common Pleas Court M. Teresa Sarmina. Sarmina opened the proceeding by questioning the cardinal and declaring him competent to testify. Lawyers for Bevilacqua had argued he suffers from dementia and is unfit to answer questions. But her brief statement in-

cluded no details about the hearing inside the cardinal’s residence on the grounds of St. Charles Borromeo Seminary off City Avenue. The planned deposition followed months of legal sparring between prosecutors, lawyers for the cardinal and lawyers for Msgr. William J. Lynn, a former aide to Bevilacqua charged with recommending two priests for assignments that gave them access to children. Prosecutors contend those priests later assaulted two boys. The deposition could last days. Prosecutors had asked for the proceedings to occur in open court. Ruling on a request from Bevilacqua’s attorney, Brian McMonagle, Sarmina agreed to a closed hearing at the cardinal’s residence.

Protests against violence in Mexico

A demonstrator looks on Sunday during a protest against violence in Mexico City. Demonstrators wore skull masks or painted their faces as skulls to symbolize the victims of violence in Mexico. More than 50,000 people have died since President Felipe Calderon launched his offensive against organized crime in 2006. LOS ANGELES

Occupiers refuse to leave

all Street protesters in Los Angeles and Philadelphia defied W orders to leave their months-old en-

campments, making it through the deadlines without the acrimony that marked earlier forced evictions in other cities. Protesters chanted “we won, we won” as riot gear-clad Los Angeles police left on Monday, though there were four arrests. Occupy LA supporters asked a federal judge to bar the city from tearing down their encampment. In Philadelphia, the camp was mostly quiet amid a heavy police presence, and on Monday morning a handful of people marching down one of the city’s main business corridors banging drums.

WASHINGTON

Barney Frank bowing out

Democratic Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts does not intend to seek re-election in 2012, his office said Monday, closing out a career of more than three decades in Congress capped by last year’s passage of legislation imposing new reguFrank lations on Wall Street. Frank, 71 and a lifelong liberal, won a House seat in 1980 was one of the first lawmakers to announce that he is gay. He scheduled an early afternoon news conference in Newton, Mass., to make a formal announcement of his retirement plans. Sixteen other Democrats have announced plans not to seek new House terms in 2012, compared with six Republicans. BEIRUT

Syria accused of atrocities

A U.N. investigation released Monday accused Syrian forces of killing and torturing children and other crimes against humanity over the past eight months as President Bashar Assad’s regime tried to crush an unprecedented uprising. The investigation added to mounting international pressure on Assad. On Sunday, the Arab League approved sweeping sanctions to push his embattled regime to end the violence against mostly unarmed protesters. The report by a U.N. Human Rights Council panel, released in Geneva, found that at least 256 children were killed by government forces between mid-March and early November, with some of them tortured to death.

$254M Powerball won

Lottery officials say the Connecticut winner of a $254 million Powerball jackpot has stepped forward. Officials haven’t announced the winner’s name yet. They were confirming information Monday but say the jackpot check will be made payable to the Putnam Avenue Family Trust. No information on the trust is immediately available. Lottery officials say the winning ticket from the Nov. 2 drawing was a $1 quick pick selection bought at the Shippan Point Getty station in Stamford. The winning numbers were 12-1434-39-46, Powerball 36. The jackpot is the largest ever in Connecticut and the 12th biggest in Powerball history. The winner can claim a $254 million annuity paid over 29 years or a lump sum of nearly $152 million in cash.

CAIRO — Shaking off years of political apathy, Egyptians turned out in long lines at voting stations Monday in the first parliamentary elections since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster, a giant step toward what they hope will be a democracy after decades of dictatorship. Some voters brought their children along, saying they wantedthemtolearnhowtoexercise their rights in a democracy as they cast ballots in what promises to be the fairest and cleanest election in Egypt in living memory. With fears of violence largely unrealized, the biggest complaint was the hours of standing in long, slowmoving lines. “If you have waited for 30 years, can’t you wait now for another hour?” an army officer yelled at hundreds of restless women in Cairo. Afterthedramatic,18-dayuprising that ended Mubarak’s three decades of authoritarian rule, many had looked forward to this day in expectation of a celebration of freedom. But Mubarak’s fall on Feb.11was followed by nearly 10 months of military rule, divisions and violence and when election day finally arrived, the mood was markedly different. People were eager to at last cast a free vote, but daunted by all the uncertainty over what happens next. “I never voted because I was never sure it was for real,” said Shahira Ahmed, 45, waiting with her husband and daughter with around 500 other people at a Cairo polling station. “This time, I hope it is, but I am not positive.” Even as they vote, Egyptians are sharply polarized and confused over the nation’s direction. On one level, the election will be a strong indicator of whether

Doctors facing severe cutbacks

The cuts are the consequence of a 1990s budget law that failed to control spending.

Egyptian women wait behind the door of a polling station Monday in Cairo when voting began in Egypt’s first parliamentary elections since Hosni Mubarak was ousted.

Egypt is heading toward Islamism or secularism. The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest and best organized group, along with other Islamists are expected to dominate in the

vote. Many liberals, leftists, Christians and pious Muslims who oppose mixing religion and politics went expressly to the polls to try to stop them. The U.S. and its close ally Is-

rael, which has a long-standing peace treaty with Egypt, worry that stronger Brotherhood influence could end Egypt’s role as a major moderating influence in Middle East politics.

Kansas governor apologizes for response to tweet By JOHN MILBURN and BILL DRAPER Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback apologized Monday for his office’s response to a disparaging Twitter post by a high school senior who was attending a school function at the state Capitol. “My staff overreacted to this tweet, and for that I apologize,” Brownback said in a Monday statement emailed to The Associated Press. “Freedom of speech is among our most treasured freedoms.” Emma Sullivan, 18, of the Kansas City suburb of Fairway, Kan., was tak-

ing part in a Youth in Government program last week in Topeka, Kan., when she sent out a tweet from the back of a crowd of students listening to Brownback’s greeting. Brownback From her cellphone, she thumbed: “Just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person (hash)heblowsalot.” She said she was just joking with friends, but Brownback’s office, which monitors social media for postings con-

taining the governor’s name, contacted the youth program. Sullivan said she spent nearly an hour in the principal’s office and was told to apologize in writing to the governor. As word of the governor’s office reaction spread, Sullivan went from 61 Twitter followers before the incident to more than 9,000 Monday — more than three times the number that follow Brownback’s official Twitter account. The Shawnee Mission East senior decided to not write the apology letter and the school district issued a statement Monday saying there would be no repercussions.

WASHINGTON — It’s become a symbol of sorts for the federal government’s budget dysfunction: Unless Congress acts before Jan. 1, doctors will again face steep Medicare cuts that threaten to undermine health care for millions of seniors and disabled people. This time it’s a 27.4 percent cut. Last year, it was about 20 percent. The cuts are the conse- “… There’s quence of a 1990s budget not a lot of law that failed time to to control spending but play pingwas never re- pong.” pealed. ConAnonymous gress passes a health care temporary fix lobbyist each time, only to grow the size of reductions required next time around. Last week’s supercommittee breakdown leaves the socalled “doc fix” unresolved with time running out. A health care industry lobbyist, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to make public statements, said lawmakers of both parties wanted to deal with the cuts to doctors, but a fundamental partisan divide over tax increases blocked progress of any kind. The main options now before Congress include a one-year or two-year fix. The problem is the cost. Congress used to add it to the federal deficit, but lawmakers can’t get away with that in these fiscally austere times. Instead, they must find about $22 billion in offsets for the one-year option, $35 billion for the two-year version. A permanent fix would cost about $300 billion over 10 years, making it much less likely. “It’s going to be a real challenge, and there’s not a lot of time to play ping-pong,” said the lobbyist. “It’s entirely possible given past performance that Congress misses the deadline.” Congressional leaders of both parties have said that won’t happen. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., says the Medicare fix is too important not to get done. But how? The endgame for a complex negotiation also involving expiring tax cuts, unemployment benefits and dozens of lesser issues remains unclear.

U.S., Pakistan alliance clouded By KATHY GANNON Associated Press

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — NATO airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers came just as the difficult relationship between the U.S. and Pakistani militaries was showing signs of improvement. Only hours earlier, U.S. Marine Gen. John Allen, the coalition’s top commander in Afghanistan, and Pakistan’s army Chief Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kayani concluded a meeting that sought to find common ground, a senior U.S. official told The Associated Press. The official said the two men

discussed areas of cooperation and “basically what we could do for each other.” Now, Kayani is under renewed pressure from his rank and file, intelligence sharing has stopped and Pakistan has withdrawn its offer to nudge the Afghan Taliban to the negotiation table. On its website, the U.S. Embassy warned of possible retaliation against Americans and said some U.S. government personnel outside Islamabad were being recalled to the capital as a precaution. The White House said Monday that President Barack Oba-

ma considers the incident a tragedy and that the administration is determined to look into the circumstances of the airstrikes. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the president extends sympathy to the families of the dead soldiers and to the people of Pakistan. Carney said: “We take it very seriously.” Saturday’s airstrikes lasted almost two hours and persisted even after Pakistani commanders pleaded with coalition forces to stop, the Pakistani army claimed Monday.

A woman joins others Monday to condemn recent NATO strikes on Pakistani soldiers. The army claimed Monday the strikes went on for almost two hours and continued even after commanders had pleaded with coalition forces to stop. AP PHOTO

Dems spoof Romney for his switches

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2011 PAGE 9A

A LITTLE MAGIC CAN RAISE MONEY FOR LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD

By KEN THOMAS Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Democrats are using humor to try to undermine Republican Mitt Romney, pushing a movie trailer-style ad that portrays his candidacy as “the story of two men trapped in one body.” The new ad released Monday is part of effort by Democrats to call attention to Romney’s inconsistencies on a number of issues important to conservative voters as he seeks to challenge President Barack Obama next year. Democrats are trying to slow the former Massachusetts governor’s progress with six weeks remaining before Republican primary voters begin picking their nominee. The Democratic National Committee ad, called “Mitt versus Mitt,” argues that Romney has changed his views on health care and abortion rights. It shows contradictory clips of Romney on the issues. “From the creator of ‘I’m running for office for Pete’s sake,’ comes the story of two men trapped in one body,” the ad says. The DNC is running the ad in Albuquerque, N.M., Raleigh, N.C., Columbus, Ohio, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and Washington. It directs viewers to a website, www.MittvMitt.com, with a longer version. Romney’s campaign blasted Obama’s handling of the economy in return, saying the White House didn’t want to have to run against Romney and “be held accountable for the many failures of this administration.” “Instead of focusing on the economy and creating jobs, President Obama and Democrats are focused on tearing down Mitt Romney,” said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul.

Sandusky’s charity is sending donors elsewhere

Second Mile is recommending donations to Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape. By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A charity for at-risk children founded by a former Penn State assistant football coach now charged with molesting boys asked its donors on Monday to instead give their money to an organization for sexual-assault victims. The Second Mile’s recommendation to donate to the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape is the latest sign its days may be numbered, although it said its December programs will continue as scheduled. It told The Associated Press about the deci-

Joanna B. Karney November 21, 2011 oanna B. Karney (nee Fisher), of JNovember Burlington, N.J., died Monday, 21, at Lourdes Hospital

in Willingboro. She was 87 years of age. Born on May 12, 1924, in Plains, she was the daughter of the late Stanley and Mary (Tomczak) Fisher. A Burlington resident since 1954, Joanna had been employed as an elementary school teacher for All Saints Parochial School in Burlington, where she taught kindergarten, third, fourth and fifth grades before retiring in 1983 after 20 years of service. A longtime member of All Saints RC Church, she was an active member in the choir and was also a member of the Polish Eucharistic Choir. She was a former president of the All Saints PTA and was a current member of the Altar and Rosary Society and the parish Senior Citizens Group. In her spare time, her passion was quilting. While Joanna will no longer be with us on a daily basis, we trust that she will always be a part of our lives. Heaven has another angel. Wife of the late Francis Karney, who died in 1988, and sister of the

late Leonard, Robert and Josephine, she is survived by her children and their spouses, Dr. Ronald (Teresa) Karney of Audubon, Pa.; Professor Dennis (Evelyn) Karney of Lawrence, Kansas; and Joanne (Alfred) Shay of Cinnaminson, N.J. She is also survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Thomas (Antoinette) Fisher of Burlington, N.J., and her sister, Doris Lupinski of Wilmington, Del., as well as her grandchildren and their spouses, Joe (Jean), Christina, Lauren (Jacob), R.J. (Erin), Patrick and Michael, and her great-granddaughter, Elliott. Mass of Christian Burial was offered Saturday, November 26, at 10 a.m. in All Saints R.C. Church, High Street, Burlington. Burial followed in Lakeview Memorial Park, Cinnaminson, N.J. Arrangements were under the direction of Page Funeral Home, 302 E. Union St., Burlington, N.J. In lieu of flowers, the family requested that contributions in Joanna’s memory be made to First Baptist Nursery School, 445 Burnside Avenue, Norristown, PA19403 or, to the donor’s favorite educational foundation.

Thomas W. Jones November 26, 2011 homas W. Jones, 92, a long-term T resident of Forty Fort and recent resident of Gateway Apartments in

Edwardsville, passed away Saturday at Riverstreet Manor. Born December 15, 1918, he was a son of the late John W. and Edith Smith Jones of Nanticoke. Mr. Jones was a 1938 graduate of Nanticoke High School. An Army veteran of World War II, he earned a Purple Heart for wounds received while serving with the 80th Infantry Division during the Battle of the Bulge. Mr. Jones was a longtime employee of Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania, serving as public relations coordinator for 27 years, prior to retirement in 1987. Thomas was an active and energetic member of the First United Methodist Church of Wilkes-Barre. For many years, Tom volunteered much of his time on behalf of local mentally challenged and visually impaired persons. He helped organize The Relatives and Friends of White Haven Center during the early 1970s and remained active and involved with the center and its guests until very recently. Tom was a past-president and Board Member More Obituaries, Page 8A

sion before posting it on its website. “The events reported over the past few weeks have saddened and horrified us,” the unsigned one-page statement read. “We are determined to do all we can to help the survivors with the healing process.” The Second Mile was founded in 1977 by Jerry Sandusky, who was charged this month with sexual abuse of eight boys over a 15year period. Prosecutors say Sandusky met victims through the charity, from whose board he resigned in 2009. He has denied the allegations and is free on bail while he awaits a preliminary hearing next month. Last week, the nonprofit said it was considering restructuring, transferring programs to other organizations or ceasing oper-

ations. The statement released Monday said it was making formal reports of any child abuse allegations to the proper authorities, and it encouraged others to do the same. Through a spokesman, it declined to comment further. A spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape said The Second Mile contacted her organization about a week ago and was given its approval for the idea to divert donations. “They are recognizing that a lot of people are really torn up and saddened by this and want to help,” spokeswoman Kristen Houser said. Lawyers for one of the people described in a grand jury report as a victim of repeated sexual attacks by Sandusky are seeking a court order to prevent the char-

ity from unloading its assets. Messages seeking comment about the filing from the lawyers, Benjamin Andreozzi and Jeffrey Fritz, were not immediately returned Monday. The Second Mile filed its objections in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court on Monday, saying the lawyers’ motion should have been filed with the Orphan’s Court in Centre County, where the charity is headquartered. It is seeking dismissal based in part on an argument that granting the lawyers’ request for an injunction would destroy its ability to manage its affairs. The Second Mile attached to the filing a list of assets that included $1.2 million in unrestricted cash, $5.2 million in donor-restricted cash and $3.3 million

worth of real estate. It also listed $1.8 million in liabilities, for a net asset total of $7.9 million. Also Monday, Penn State said student government leaders and high-ranking administrators would participate later this week in a town hall forum for students about the child sex abuse scandal that has engulfed the university, which is based in State College. The student forum, planned for Wednesday at Heritage Hall on the University Park main campus, will be restricted to students who obtained tickets ahead of time by showing valid Penn State identification. It will be broadcast by the Pennsylvania Cable Network and streamed over the Internet. Viewing areas also are being established at all of Penn State’s other campuses.

Government checking Penn State’s compliance with Clery Act Philadelphia Daily News

Now the feds are involved. The U.S. Department of Education on Monday was to begin its investigation to determine if Penn State officials violated a federal law by failing to report allegations of child sexual abuse by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. “We are making every effort to provide the review team with im-

mediate access to all requested records and information sources pertaining to all aspects of Clery Act compliance,” Penn State President Rodney Erickson said in a weekend news release. The Clery Act, named after a 19year-old Lehigh University freshman who was raped and murdered in 1986, requires universities to disclose campus crimes and, in some

cases, issue a warning for current threats. U.S. Rep. Pat Meehan, R-Pa., of Delaware County, had called for the investigation this month, after Sandusky was charged with abusing eight boys over 15 years. In related developments, at least 11 alleged Sandusky victims will probably file civil suits against the Second Mile charity Sandusky

founded in 1977, according to the New York Times. Sunday, the Centre Daily Times reported Penn State police have received a letter from another person who says he was “possibly assaulted” by Sandusky. The letter, sent from a man incarcerated in Oklahoma, was received Friday and forwarded to the state Attorney General’s Office.

OUR OPINION: NEW ARTS CENTER

We’re cheered by their spirit

IKE ANY SUCCESS story worth retelling, the one about Luzerne County’s newest performing arts venue starts with everyday people who, relying on pluck and persistence, did the extraordinary. They refused to see a beloved former school in Hazleton, although abandoned and seemingly destined for demolition, as useless. Instead, the community’s residents rallied. They pushed for a stay of execution. They enlisted their elected leaders, adopted plans for the massive building’s renovation and pursued grants to restore its interior. They also found willing donors near and far, ultimately raising enough money to lift the curtain Sunday for the first big-name act, the rock group Chicago, at the Alice C. Wiltsie Performing Arts Center. For residents throughout Luzerne County, the arts center at 700 N. Wyoming St. serves as a testament to stickto-itiveness and cooperation. What else could be accomplished in our region with this sort of collective spirit? What other threatened structures might be saved? How else might people unite to improve their neighborhoods, their lives? Named for a longtime Hazle-

ton High School art teacher, the Wiltsie Performing Arts Center previously had been an auditorium inside a 1928 school building commonly known as “the Castle.” The school district shuttered the building in 1998 and put it up for sale. Thanks to grassroots gumption and some changing enrollment patterns, much of the place reopened in 2007 as the Hazleton Elementary-Middle School. Its capstone: the newly refurbished community arts center, site of upcoming seasonal events such as this Saturday’s holiday concert (7 p.m.) and a Dec. 17 showing of the classic Christmas film “It’s a Wonderful Life” (6 p.m.) Bravo to Tom Gabos and Bobby Tombasco, the self-appointed guardians of the empty school who subsequently were nicknamed “the Castle Keepers,” and everyone who played a role in preserving and refurbishing this landmark. During this season of miracles, and of hope, theirs is a story worth spreading.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We have … worked very hard to change the relationship between the administration and the nation’s first Americans.” Ken Salazar The secretary of the U.S. Department of Interior spoke Monday about proposed new rules that would allow for badly needed housing development on reservations and promote tribal projects involving wind and solar energy. President Obama is set to meet with hundreds of Native American leaders on Friday.

OTHER OPINION: REGULATION

Final drill bill should favor Pa.

UGE differences exist between two bills designed to regulate Marcellus Shale drilling in Pennsylvania, and they share one major flaw: House Bill 1950 and Senate Bill 1100 both bar local communities from setting tougher standards for the industry. One of the best arguments we’ve heard lately on the topic of local control came from Michael Krancer, the state’s secretary of environmental protection. Krancer was in Washington, D.C., to testify about U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to develop new rules for the disposal of fracking wastewater. Krancer said, “One size does not fit all” and that each state must take into consideration its “unique topography, geography and meteorology.” That’s the same argument that county and municipal officials have against the Corbett administration’s goal of allowing state EDITORIAL BOARD

law to supersede local ordinances. So much for one size not fitting all. Whether that issue will be on the table is unclear as a conference committee takes up the task of reconciling the provisions of the dueling House and Senate bills. Of the two, there is more to commend SB 1100 than its counterpart. Under the Senate measure, impact fees will be somewhat higher ($50,000 in the first year of a well’s production, compared to $40,000 under the House measure) and extend longer. Most of the Senate’s terms are better for the state and deserve the approval of conference committee members. If lawmakers are interested in the best compromise, however, they should assemble a final package that puts the needs of Pennsylvanians above those of the industry. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Writer views hunting as callous taking of life

he poor black bear that was walking through Edwardsville recently was killed by a stupid hunter. I cried when I read the article. Stop using the word “harvest” when hunters “kill!” The word “harvest” should be used only when you harvest corn, crops, etc. I detest hunting and for the life of me cannot understand how a human being could have a gun or arrow, look into the eyes of an animal and want to kill it; seems to me something has to be wrong with your heart and soul to think this is okay.

danger of facing funding cuts. Implore your state and federal legislators to support the SBDC. Its importance to our nation’s economy is crucial. Future jobs depend on it. Colette Hughes Scott Township

Linda Elbattah Wilkes-Barre

SBDC should be lauded for bolstering growth

ea Partiers. Wall Street Occupiers. President Obama’s upcoming visit to Scranton. All have one concern in common: future jobs. How to create and maintain those jobs is what divides them. Too bad that little press attention is given to one ongoing successful jobs program – the Small Business Development Center. Formed as the Association of Small Business Development Centers in 1979, Congress appropriated substantial funds in 1982, signaling bipartisan congressional support for its continuance. The SBDC remains one of the federal government’s most successful programs to provide management and technical assistance for new and existing enterprises. Moreover, its importance to our nation’s economy is recognized with additional funding from state funds and the University of Scranton.

Department is restoring integrity to welfare system

or too long, Pennsylvania’s welfare policy was “when in doubt, give it out.” But under Gov. Tom Corbett’s leadership, the state Department of Public Welfare has taken swift action to ensure scarce taxpayer funds are not lost to waste, fraud or abuse. Pennsylvania and other states are facing unsustainable growth in welfare costs, without the revenue to offset them. At the current rate, the department could consume 50 percent of the state’s budget by 2016. Continuing to deliver health and human services through a broken system will only cause taxpayers more frustration – at a higher tax rate. Strong fiscal controls help to ensure critical benefits and services are reserved for those with the greatest need. Put simply, those who exploit the system are stealing from taxpayers – and the needy. The Corbett administration inherited a welfare system that was inefficient, fragmented and rife with waste. Vital eligibility information got lost in an onerous, disconnected system that even the professionals had trouble navigating. To remedy this, we implemented real reforms that ensure public money is spent with strict accountability. We already have removed from our rolls more than 100,000 ineligible people – including people who have died or moved out of state – saving taxpayers more than $34 million. Working closely with the Office of Inspector General, we’ve increased the presence of investigators in the department’s offices, enhanced collections efforts and deployed a more comprehensive strategy to audit providers. We’ve also made our department more transparent by allowing taxpayers to see on our website how their tax dollars are being spent and to learn about the department’s day-to-day activities. To help close the $1 billion budget gap

DOONESBURY

the department faces this year, we have launched an aggressive program integrity initiative. Already, we’ve identified tens of millions of dollars in cost savings and avoidance; increased enforcement of current laws; ramped up reporting of fraud, waste and abuse; recovered millions in cash assistance and other overpayments; built an automated system to track expenditures and performance to hold all managers accountable; and improved communication throughout our department, straight to my office. Our new Office of Program Integrity was developed with existing staff and resources. One in five Pennsylvanians receives services from the Department of Public Welfare, and it might soon become one in four with the new federal health law. The funding crisis we face is not an abstract threat; it goes to the heart of our commonwealth’s collective well-being. We have a moral responsibility to take action now. Our reforms are not simply the right thing to do for taxpayers, they are absolutely essential if we are to continue to provide quality, necessary services to Pennsylvania’s neediest families. Gary D. Alexander Secretary, Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare

PSU chain-of-command needed to include women

am in agreement with several columnists that the Penn State scandal, which I call “Penn State Gate,” bears an eerie resemblance to the crisis in the Roman Catholic Church, with priests in many places being laterally transferred out of the bishop’s sight when they were accused of child molestation. At Penn State, ex-assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky’s saga has the same dynamics, with a rigid, allmale hierarchy running the sports programs. More women in higher managerial positions in all these instances might have helped; they typically are more cognizant of child abuse and could provide a checksand-balances system. They certainly couldn’t do worse. Although Mr. Sandusky is innocent until proven guilty, the preponderance of evidence seems to be pointing to serious charges. It is a shame that any good that the Second Mile charitable program has done is tattered and torn. Coach Joe Paterno has done much good at the university, even donating millions of dollars to programs; it is a shame his legacy is marred for good with this unfortunate situation. Sports are idolized in colleges and universities, and I think it is about time that Penn State got back to its main mission of education. The team should change its uniforms’ colors to black and blue. Gerald Moon Scranton

Internet and all the other ways to access information in high tech world make the magic of Santa Claus hard for parents to maintain

Is Google the Grinch? By LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Kids can video chat with Santa, follow him on Twitter or enlist NORAD to track his every move online. And yet in many ways, technology may be making it harder for parents to keep their children believing in the jolly old elf. At nearly every turn, the Internet threatens to blow the fat man’s cover. Practically any schoolchild can type “Is Santa real?” into Google. And just a few clicks can bring youngsters to websites that sell customized letters from the North Pole or offer advice on how Mom and Dad can fool the kids into believing in old St. Nick. “I have a love-hate relationship with technology and Santa,” said Kristi Kovalak, a mom in St. Louis. “The beauty of Santa is the not knowing. Technology is all about knowing, and knowing this instant. I swear, Google is the nemesis of the North Pole.” She embraces digital life daily but stays far away from cyber-Santa for her two boys, ages 5 and 11. “We don’t do robo-calls. We don’t submit lists to Santa online. I don’t have tracking apps on my phone,” she said. “Too much proof means you then have to explain away when the next crazy thing contradicts it.” Kevin Grout and his wife had a close call recently while watching a Santa Claus parade on TV with their children, ages 6, 4 and 5 months. A commercial came on for a website that creates email greetings from Santa. They switched channels just in time. “We’re definitely in this boat, primarily with our oldest. She’s a smart cookie,” said Grout, of St. Catharines, Ontario. “It was clear to me a

At a press conference, Steven Lloyd said he bought the ticket at a Turkey Hill store in Exeter with change left after buying a granola bar and cup of coffee. Not a lottery regular, he opted for a Powerball ticket, a multistate game that Pennsylvania joined in June 2002. Though he bought the ticket two days before the Nov. 19 drawing, he didn’t exactly sit on pins and needles waiting to see if he had won. “I had forgotten I bought the

“People continue to struggle with unemployment as well as the everyday tasks to make ends meet, which is why I am continuing, as I have in the past, to return the COLA,” said Boback, who has returned her raise each year since she entered office in 2006. Kavulich and Toohil, who were elected in 2010, still accept the same salary as legislators did in 2009. “I’ll have the calculator out again figuring out what the difference is,” said Kavulich, who has foregone both raises he’s been eligible to receive since taking office. Last year, legislators were eligible to receive a 1.7 percent raise. This year it will be a 3 percent raise. The percentages are determined, in accordance with a 1995 law, by changes in the U.S. Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index for the Mid-Atlantic states for the year ending each October. The 3 percent hike set to take effect Thursday will boost legislators’ annual pay to $82,026. It is currently at $79,623. At the time the 1995 law passed, salary for state House and Senate members was $47,000. Since that time, the

poor strategy to run it during a Santa Claus parade when many kids would be tuned in.” Santa sites can easily be found by any kid with an iPad. Igco.com, for example, screams: “Discover our acclaimed letter from Santa, phone call from Santa, Santa evidence kits and official good list certificate. Make your children’s eyes pop out of their heads this Christmas!” (Parents might have fun explaining away the Santa boot print kit, complete with a plastic template and a shaker full of snow crystals, for $15.99.) Over at Santa.com is a menu of prices for letters from Santa. There’s a fancy one on a scroll for $19.99 and a simple postcard for nearly $3. (Mommy, why does Santa charge?) Enter the search query “Is Santa real?” and up comes an entry on a psychology site about the dreaded question itself and how parents who are

trying to keep the Santa secret live in fear this time of year. Kyla Kelim of Fairhope, Ala., caught her oldest, a 9-year-old boy, on her iPad playing Santa sleuth a week or so ago. “We’re so close with him this year, not believing,” she said. “He was Googling ‘Santa,’ and I saw him type the word ‘myth’ when I grabbed it and said no electronics. I’m constantly having to follow my phone and iPad and stuff around right now. We’re trying not to debunk Santa for our 7-year-old.” Not all parents are worried technology will destroy the magic. Dad Brian Searl in Ormond Beach, Fla., keeps the Santa secret for his 7-year-old daughter through apps that offer Santa video chat and recorded calls from the big guy. “It isn’t getting harder. The methods are just different,” he said. And what happens when

she’s older? He said he might go retro and haul out the movie “Elf” with Will Ferrell, the one “where the sleigh doesn’t have enough power because people don’t believe.” Other parents, though, are finding that in some ways, it was easier to maintain the Santa myth before high-speed Internet. When Kimberly Porrazzo’s boys, now in their 20s, were little, she and her husband jingled sleigh bells outside their kids’ bedroom windows on Christmas Eve, and Dad took to the roof to make scampering hoof sounds. “Now, with technology, all the various opinions on whether or not he exists are more readily available to children beyond asking their parents,” she said. “It’s likely they will Google rather than asking their parents. That’s why parents need to share the secret on their terms.”

ticket until I was visiting my mom, and my sister called to say the big winning ticket was sold at the Exeter Turkey Hill,” Lloyd said. “I threw my tickets onto a desk and couldn’t believe what I saw when I got to the winning ticket. My mom thought something was wrong until I told her I thought I had the winning Powerball ticket.” Not only was he holding the winner, the middle child among three siblings was the only person to have the lucrative numbers: 09-16-17-28-30 in the white balls and 11 in the red Powerball, making him sole claimant to a $55.9 million jackpot. Lloyd said he checked the

ticket dozens of times before believing he won. He presented the ticket Tuesday morning at Lottery headquarters in Dauphin County, where it was confirmed. Lloyd opted to take his winnings in one lump sum rather than the larger annuity. A quarter of the total will be withheld for federal taxes. Even so, it’s the biggest Pennsylvania Lottery prize in Luzerne County history, and 12th largest prize ever awarded by the state lottery, according to lottery officials. For Pennsylvania, Lloyd was the 14th Powerball winner; for Lloyd it was his first lottery success. He accept-

ed it with a dose of humility. “I’m not looking for a life of excess with this money,” he said, “just an easier, more interesting life where I can use this prize money to ‘pay it forward,’ once things calm down and we figure out how to put the money to the most good. “I’ve always said good things take time but great things happen in an instant, and I was fortunate enough to have experienced this instant.” In the press release after the announcement, Lottery officials noted that Lloyd had agreed to participate in the event but would decline additional media interviews.

base pay for rank and file lawmakers has risen nearly 75 percent. Sen. John Gordner, one of only two local legislators who was in office at that time, said he voted for that bill because lawmakers were either going without raises for too long or were giving themselves too big a raise. He said that while he believes the system has worked in most years, this year’s raise may be too much considering what’s going on with the economy and the unemployment rate, which is hovering around 8 percent in the state and over 9 percent in the WilkesBarre/Scranton metro area. Gordner, R-Berwick, does not keep his pay raise, instead opting to spread it around non-profit community-based organizations in his senatorial district. This year it was libraries. Next year it will be a menagerie of entities including health clinics and a children’s museum in Bloomsburg. He said that while he would not support repealing the 1995 law, he would support a bill that would eliminate the raise just for this year. No such bill exists. He would also support changing the method that determines what the COLA would be, perhaps to the Social Security increase. He’s not the only one who wouldn’t support repealing the 1995 law. Pashinski and Mundy both said they think the system

works, even if it’s not perfect. “If you want somebody to devote their life to this job, then you’ve got to pay them properly,” Pashinski said. Mundy said doing away with the automatic pay raises would likely mean no future pay raise would ever be enacted. “Given the political climate, there would never be another pay raise vote,” Mundy said. “Do people really think we should be working for $47,000?” Mullery said if he has learned anything from his first year in Harrisburg, it’s that change is slow in coming. “This is just another example of Harrisburg not getting what’s going on at home or across the state,” Mullery said. He points to a bill he drafted when he was in office less than two months that would repeal the 1995 law. It

Baker said not only would she support repealing the 1995 law she has drafted a bill that would allow legislators to reject their raise up front rather than having to return it each year or send it to charity. It too has stalled in the Senate. Toohil, who last year said that if senior citizens weren’t getting their Social Security increases, she wouldn’t accept a raise, noted that even though the Social Security payments will increase next year, she still doesn’t think it’s the right time to see her own income rise. She said she’s opting to spread the money out to groups in her district rather than returning it to the state because “the money can be put to good use in the community.” years.

Hundreds line up to get Obama tickets By RICH HOWELLS rhowells@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Fervent supporters of President Barack Obama lined up in front of Scranton High School on Monday in hopes of receiving one of a limited number of tickets to see the commander-in-chief speak in the same location on Wednesday. The president is scheduled to talk about the American Jobs Act at 2:45 p.m. Wednesday. At 3 p.m. Monday, the line contained less than 200 people, but quickly doubled within a half hour. By 4 p.m., more than 500 people were waiting outside the school, including Michelle Nash, 47, of Taylor. Nash, a Democrat, volunteered for Obama’s 2008 election campaign and plans to do so again for his reelection, but has yet to see him in person. She said she approves of the job he’s done during his first term “for the most part.” “I think he’s been blocked in a lot of areas, obviously. I’d like to see a little more cooperation across party lines, but I think that’s becoming a pipe dream, unfortunately. I think he honestly has done quite a bit with the opposition he’s been met with,” Nash explained. Finding the recent Republican candidate debates “frustrating,” she said much of the views of Oba-

breaks to millions of families across the country this year,” the White House press release states. In 2008, Obama cruised to victory to become the country’s 44th president, but 2012 will not be so easy and Pennsylvania and particularly Northeastern Pennsylvania will play a pivotal role in the race. “NEPA is a huge part of any victory for him,” Mitchell said. “In 2008, only the Philadelphia region performed higher for Obama in terms of the margin of his victory.” Mitchell said the vote for president is “a highly personal one” and he doesn’t see the local and statewide Republican hold on other elected offices influencing the vote for president. “And lawmakers at all levels will be more greatly affected by redistricting than the presidential contest,” he said. “People want their president to lead them out of the mess in Washington.” Biden factor Vice President Joe Biden, a Scranton native, has been assigned three critical states to focus on in the upcoming campaign – Pennsylvania is at the top of that list. Jennifer Austin, press secretary for Organizing for America, said the Obama campaign is soliciting grassroots volunteers in every corner of the state -- including across NEPA. In 2010, Pennsylvania and the northeastern part of the state saw a Republican wave at the state and national levels. U.S. Reps. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, and Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Township, won seats in Congress from Democratic incumbents. The state House, Senate and governor’s office also went to the GOP. Renita Fennick, Marino’s communications director, said while Democrats in Pennsylvania may hold an edge as far as registration goes, Marino believes the tide is turning and he expects that voters next year will lean Republican based solely on Obama’s poor record in job creation, energy development and his overreach in gov-

ma’s opposition are “off the wall.” “At this point, there are no other candidates that have come forward that I’m interested in voting for,” she said. Another Democrat, A.J. Jump, 27, of Kingston, simply wants to hear the president speak. “Any time you can go see a world leader, especially our world leader, you should go hear them and the way they present themselves in front of people. In my lifetime, as far back as I can remember, I was a little too young to remember Reagan, and people spoke so highly of him,” Jump said. “He is probably the most wellspoken president in my time. He’s very inspirational. He’s a very good speaker.” Jump said he didn’t really have an opinion on the president’s last four years, believing anyone who inherited the country’s current issues would be struggling in the position. “The country itself has so many negatives going on right now. I don’t think anybody could change that. No one person can change anything, and nothing is ever going to change overnight. I think, so far, his messages are always positive and he doesn’t look like the last goof,” Jump said, referring to former President George W. Bush. ernment regulation. Pa. a ‘political nexus’ Lance Stange, representing U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta’s campaign, said the northeast is always “a political nexus” for Pennsylvania. “I have no doubt it will continue to be so in 2012,” Stange said. “Pennsylvanians are hardworking people that look for candidates that best represent their values and beliefs.” David Sosar, political science professor at King’s College, said it’s not by accident that Biden, a “hometown boy” from Scranton, has been assigned to the state. “To win the state this time around, however, the Obama team is going to have to rematch their effort of 2008,” Sosar said. “This seems as though it is going to be hard to accomplish. The same groups of individuals including the younger voters don’t seem to be nearly as energized as they were in the last election. This visit may be a way of testing the water in an attempt to judge whether or not that same type of enthusiasm can be replicated in this election season.” If Obama intends to talk about jobs and the economy, Northeastern Pennsylvania is a region that will listen to his every word, Sosar said. “This area has suffered more than most others in the poor economic conditions of the past three years,” Sosar said. Sosar said people worry about more taxes, their home heating prices and the cost of gas. Jeff Brauer, political science professor at Keystone College, said Pennsylvania is poised to be a tossup in the 2012 general election. “Pennsylvania is the biggest, most important swing state in the nation,” Brauer said. And Brauer says NEPA is a crucial swing area of the swing state. Despite being largely Democratic, NEPA proved in 2010 that it can go Republican. Tom Baldino of Wilkes University called it a “wave election.” “Voters rejected Democratic candidates, which brought the Republicans control of the state’s government,” Baldino said. “I don’t think it reflected a permanent shift in the political orientation of the state’s voters.”

Shots help prevent infant chicken pox By ERYN BROWN Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Vaccinating children who are more than a year old against varicella, or chicken pox, also provides “tremendous indirect benefits” to young babies, researchers reported Monday in the journal Pediatrics. The U.S. implemented a varicella vaccine program in 1995, offering the vaccine to children 12 months and older. But younger babies who aren’t old enough to get

the vaccine are protected through so-called “herd immunity” — because fewer older kids develop chicken pox, the younger children are less likely to be exposed to the virus. The researchers, including some from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, studied data on chicken pox cases in the Antelope Valley near Los Angeles and in Philadelphia during the first14 years the vaccine was available.

As criticism swirled about Boeheim’s Fine initial support of Fine and his verbal attacks on the accusers, the coach kept a low profile, seeking refuge in his office on the second floor of the Carmelo K.

Sitting in a deer stand in Wayne County, Megan squeezed off a round from her .243 H&R youth model rifle, watched the eightpointer stagger down, stand back up and fall a final time. “Oh my God, dad, it fell down!” Bill Rusonis said his daughter exclaimed. “That’s my girl,” he replied.

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

‘Dream Team’ has put Reid on firing line

rustrated Philadelphia fans insist they want Eagles coach Andy Reid fired. But it’s his players who deserve to be on the firing line. The problem is, so many Eagles are making mistakes, it’s hard to single out just one, like Philadelphia fans did when former quarterback Donovan McNabb was throwing passes at the feet of open receivers. But the coach is wide open for criticism after this Eagles team turned into such disarray. Star receiver DeSean Jackson was benched in the fourth quarter for essentially quitting during Sunday’s 3820 loss to the New England Patriots. The undisciplined Eagles seemed to be playing a game of ‘Who can jump offsides first’ while committing an atrocious 10 penalties in the game. And Philadelphia’s defense didn’t care to cover anybody while allowing Tom Brady’s three touchdown passes and 361 passing yards. After bolting to a 10-point lead, the Eagles were outscored 38-3 until a meaningless touchdown in the final minute. And it could be the final straw that gets Reid fired after 13 seasons as Philadelphia’s head coach. Not many coaches survive a 4-7 train wreck after the organization brings in whole pool of Pro Bowl players during the offseason. But those players have to produce. “I’m going to go out and play had for Andy, play in and play out,” Eagles guard Jason Peters said. “He brought me here.” Yet, the Eagles have brought expectations to rock bottom during a season that started with Super Bowl talk. That’s why Philadelphia fans are speaking their mind. A few of them broke into a brief but distinctive “Fire Andy” chant after Reid shunned the run on a fourth-and-1 play from the Patriots’ 2-yard line midway through the third quarter and Vince Young’s pass sailed toward Broad Street. The Patriots were leading 31-13 at that point. By the time the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field called for Reid’s dismissal again, in a more prolonged chant with New England up 38-13 in the fourth quarter, only a handful of the 63,000 fans were left to sustain it. “You never want to hear that,” Eagles tight end Brent Celek said. “I guess the fans are frustrated. They don’t know what to do. They pay a lot of money to come watch these games. We’ve got a talented team. And we’re not playing very well. Us players are putting a bad product on the field. We’ve got to pick it up.” Look, the Eagles have gotten picked apart by Brady and the Patriots in the past, even on their best days. The revered Jim Johnson couldn’t find a way to slow down New England’s offense when he was alive. But the Eagles never looked as lifeless in those games as they did Sunday, even at the end of New England’s victory in Super Bowl XXXIX. “I’m disappointed in a lot of things, starting with myself,” Reid said. It’s his fault, he has to put players in better positions, he has to fix the mistakes – particularly the penalties that make his team seem so disinterested. Isn’t that what Reid’s been saying through this whole, miserable season for the Eagles? Then why hasn’t it happened yet? “If I could answer that, I’d end it,” Reid said. He’s out of answers and the Eagles are out of time. When you can’t dismiss the whole team for ineptitude, you cut the coach who’s responsible for it.

[]-denotes a circle game. A game is circled for a variety of reasons, with the prime factor being an injury. When a game is inside a circle, there is limited wagering. The line could move a few points in either direction, depending on the severity (probable, questionable, doubtful, out) of the injury. College Football Favorite

NFL

Eagles see season slip away Short week after 18-point loss to Patriots leaves little room for hope in Philadelphia. By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Fans are calling for Andy Reid’s dismissal more vehemently than ever. Assistant coaches are arguing on the sideline. A disgruntled star player isn’t giving his best effort. There’s no saving the Philadelphia Eagles this season. The best team money can buy turned out to be a whole lot of wasted dollars. All those bigname acquisitions the Eagles made in the offseason couldn’t even get them back to where they were last year. The defending NFC East champions are 4-7 following a 3820 loss to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots that wasn’t as close as the 18-point margin. The Eagles aren’t mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but it’s just a matter of time at this point. “These last five games? I think they’ll show the character,” rookie center Jason Kelce said Mon-

day. “Whenever you’re facing adversity, or whenever you’re put in a situation where it’s tough, you don’t know what the outcome is going to be for the year and everything else. I think true character. Everybody can play when you’re up and when things are going well, but when you’re backed into a corner, when you’re down, that’s when true character shows.” The Eagles don’t have a lot of

time to dwell on their latest loss. They have to get ready for a cross-country trip to play at Seattle (4-7) on Thursday night. Road games will be more hospitable than playing at Lincoln Financial Field, where the Eagles have lost eight of their last nine games. Things were downright ugly on Sunday after the Eagles blew an early 10-0 lead. Fans started chanting: “Fire Andy!” in the third quarter and

the always sold-out stadium was nearly empty by the end. Defensive line coach Jim Washburn exchanged words with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg in the first half. DeSean Jackson dropped three passes, including two that should’ve been touchdowns, and the diminutive wideout clearly shied away from contact before getting benched. “I just have to go out there and do my job. I have a job to do, which I get paid to do, I have to go out there and give my best effort,” said Jackson, who is unhappy he didn’t get a new contract. “Regardless of what happens, the dropped balls and all, it’s not like it’s happening on purpose. Everybody has things that they have to go through in life. Right now this is what I am going through to better myself. I will be all right.” Jackson is costing himself money with every lackluster effort, missed meeting, deactivation and benching. He’s one of the most exciting players in the league when he has the ball in his hands. But, but Jackson isn’t among the elite receivers and won’t be getting top money from Philadelphia after his contract expires at the end of the season.

MAJOR COLLEGE BASKETBALL

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tu Holloway scored eight of his 24 points in overtime and No. 11 Xavier rallied from 10 down to beat 20th-ranked Vanderbilt 82-70 on Monday night. This was the first game against a ranked opponent for both Vanderbilt and Xavier, the five-time Atlantic 10 champ. The Commodores, picked to finish second in the Southeastern Conference, had the advantage of being at home in cozy Memorial Gym in front of a soldout crowd. For the Musketeers, this was their first road game. They still found a way to improve to 5-0 for the best start yet under Chris Mack in his third season. Xavier trailed by as much as 10. The Musketeers scored the final four points of regulation, including Mark Lyons’ short jumper with 6.5 seconds left to force overtime. Wells hit two free throws, and Holloway knocked down two 3-pointers to cap a 12-0 run ending with 2:27 remaining in overtime that put Xavier up 74-66. Lyons had 19 points for Xavier, and Travis Taylor added 11. John Jenkins led Vanderbilt (5-2) with 20 points. Lance Goulbourne and Jeffery Taylor had 18 apiece. The Commodores went cold after Jenkins’ 3 with 3:56 left put Vandy up 66-62. They didn’t score again until Jenkins’ jumper with 2:17 left in overtime. Vandy had two chances to pull out the victory in regulation. Andre Walker, who spent his first four years at Vandy before graduating in May and transferring to Xavier, guarded Jenkins who forced up a short jumper with 12 seconds left that missed. Walker got the rebound up to Lyons who raced downcourt for the tying bucket. Florida 96, Stetson 70 ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida’s Billy Donovan earned his 400th career coaching victory as the Gators rode a 16-point halftime lead to a win over Stetson. Bradley Beal had 22 points and 10 rebounds and Erving Walker added 21 to lead the Gators (5-1) in the neutral court matchup at Amway Center. The Hatters (3-3) were led by Chris Perez with 20 points. Stetson stayed close early on before a 23-4 Gators’ run midway through the first half blew the game open. Florida relied on its outside shooting during the spurt, knocking down eight 3-pointers in the half and 14 for

The King’s women’s basketball team prepped for this week’s opening of the Freedom Conference schedule by posting an 82-75 non-conference victory over visiting Widener on Monday night. Lindsay Atchison led the Monarchs with a career-high 25 points and had six rebounds. Paige Carlin scored 15 points, and Katlin Michaels had 11 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals to contribute to the win. Samantha Simcox posted nine points and 10 rebounds. King’s improved to 4-1 on the season and opens its Freedom Conference schedule Wednesday at unbeaten Delaware Valley

the game. Florida is off until Friday when they travel to face No. 5 Syracuse. The Hatters open Atlantic Sun play by hosting East Tennessee State Thursday.

Louisville 79, Long Beach St. 66 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Chris Smith scored 18 points and No. 6 Louisville got off to a fast start to beat Long Beach State for the short-handed Cardinals’ 14th straight victory at the KFC Yum! Center. Louisville (6-0) scored the first eight points of the game and took a double-digit lead early in the first half, but couldn’t pull away from Long Beach State (2-4) until the closing minute even though the 49ers never got closer than five points in the second half. Freshman Chane Behanan had 13 points and seven rebounds for Louisville, which has dealt with multiple injuries so far and was without another player when reserve guard Elisha Justice didn’t dress after he broke his nose. Larry Anderson scored 17 points for the 49ers before fouling out. Marquette 88, Jacksonville 56 MILWAUKEE — Jae Crowder a season-high 27 points to lead No. 16 Marquette past Jacksonville. Darius Johnson-Odom scored 11 of his 19 points in the first half for the Golden Eagles (6-0) and helped steady a shaky offense. Delwan Graham’s 13 points led the Dolphins (2-4), who played a ranked opponent for the second consecutive game. Jacksonville lost 107-62 at No. 10 Florida on Friday. Crowder scored 10 points during a 29-9 run that bridged halftime and helped turn a close game into a blowout. His 3pointer and three-point play pushed Marquette’s lead to 59-37 with 13:21 left. West Virginia 77, Akron 56 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Jabarie Hinds scored 19 points to lead four West Virginia double-figures scorers as the Mountaineers knocked off Akron for their third consecutive win. Kevin Jones totaled 18 and Deniz Kilicli and Darryl “Truck” Bryant added 11 each, but it was Hinds, a freshman guard, who stole the night with his hightempo play. He scored 15 points in the first half as West Virginia (4-1) opened a 44-20 advantage at

Kentucky new No. 1 in AP Top 25 Kentucky is back at No. 1 in The Associated Press’ college basketball poll for the first time since the 2009-10 season. Saint Louis is back in the Top 25 for the first time since 1993-94. The Wildcats (6-0) replaced North Carolina, which had been No. 1 since the preseason poll, on Monday, receiving 46 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel. The Tar Heels (5-1) dropped to fifth following their 90-80 loss to UNLV in the championship game of the Las Vegas Invitational. Ohio State (6-0) moved up from third to second and had 17 first-place votes, while Duke (7-0), which won the EA Sports Maui Invitational, jumped from sixth to third and had the other two No. 1 votes. Syracuse, North Carolina, Louisville, Baylor, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Florida rounded out the top 10. UNLV (7-0) used the win over North Carolina to move in at 18th. The Runnin’ Rebels were ranked for four weeks last season. Saint Louis (6-0), which beat Boston College, Villanova and Oklahoma to win the 76 Classic, moves in at No. 23, the Billikens’ first time in the poll in almost two decades. North Carolina is at Kentucky on Saturday, a matchup that would have had No. 1 facing No. 2. This is Kentucky’s 90th week at No. 1, fourth on the all-time list behind UCLA (134), Duke (122) and North Carolina (108). Before the one-week appearance at No. 1 in 2009-10, the Wildcats’ last time on top of the rankings was the final poll of 2002-03. Xavier moved up one place to 11th and was followed by Alabama, Missouri, Michigan, Kansas, Marquette, Pittsburgh, UNLV, Gonzaga and Vanderbilt. The last five ranked teams were Mississippi State, Memphis, Saint Louis, California and Texas A&M. Florida State (5-2) dropped out from 22nd following losses to Harvard and Connecticut in the Battle 4 Atlantis. Arizona (4-2) fell from No. 23 after a home loss to San Diego State. Missouri had the week’s biggest jump, using easy wins over Notre Dame, California and Binghamton to move from 21st to No. 13. Memphis, which lost to Michigan and Georgetown in the Maui Invitational, had the biggest fall, dropping from No. 8 to 22nd.

intermission. The Mountaineers outscored the Zips 20-2 over the last 4:32 of the half, with Hinds getting 12 points in that stretch. Georgetown 81, IUPUI 58 WASHINGTON — Hollis Thompson had 21 points and 10 rebounds, Henry Sims added 14 and Nate Lubick had eight points and a career-high 14 rebounds as Georgetown pulled

away from IUPUI in the second half for a convincing win. The Hoyas (5-1) led at halftime 32-31, and scored the first 10 points of the second half to go up 42-31. Jason Clark, who leads Georgetown in scoring with 19 points per game, had just one in the first half. He hit two free throws to start the second-half run. Markel Starks, who had 13 points, and Lubick each had two field goals during the spree.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Niklas Backstrom rebounded from a rough game and an early exit with 32 saves, and the Minnesota Wild stopped a two-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night. Steven Stamkos scored again for the Lightning, but Cal Clutterbuck’s short-handed goal and Pierre-Marc Bouchard’s go-ahead score in the second period gave the Wild all the offense they needed. Mikko Koivu had an as-

sist and an empty-net goal to pad the lead in a quick, clean game that featured only four penalties. After a fast-paced but scoreless first period, Stamkos — the NHL’s second-leading scorer — struck for the Lightning with a remarkable end-to-end rush. He stole the puck from Dany Heatley and raced up the right wing, sending a rising shot past Backstrom’s stick after the goalie went low to try to stop it. Stamkos has nine goals in 11 games and four goals in his last four games.

Meyer quits retirement plans to lead Buckeyes Former Florida coach cited health, more family time as reasons he left the sideline. By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — If Ohio State did not come calling, Urban Meyer says he was planning to stay away from coaching for at least another year. Meyer, the former Florida coach and native Buckeye, was officially hired Monday by Ohio State, a program with a glittering past that has suffered through a difficult year of NCAA violations. “If not for the coaching position at Ohio State, I would not have coached this year,’ he said. Meyer resigned as Gators coach after last season, citing health concerns and a desire to spend more time with his family.

stance 10 days after an impassioned defense of Fine, who spent 35 seasons on the bench next to Boeheim and was fired Sunday. The Rev. Robert Hoatson, president of Road to Recovery, a group that supports victims of sexual abuse, said the dismissal of Bernie Fine was appropriate but didn’t go far enough. “I think Jim Boeheim should be fired or resign as well,” Hoatson said Monday. “These boys were members of the basketball program. Jim Boeheim’s responsibility is to oversee that program, and the children were not safe on his watch.” Two former Syracuse ball boys

“There will be people that obviously we’ll talk to, but it’s not the (board of trustees’) decision,” Joyner said recently. “It’s the athletic director’s and the president’s decision.” No timetable has been set to pick the full-time replacement for Joe Paterno, who was fired by the school’s board of trustees on Nov. 9 in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. The search committee is comprised of the following people: • Caldwell, Penn State’s faculty athletics representative to the NCAA since July 2010. A professor of recreation, park and tourism management, Caldwell has been a faculty member at the school since 1995. A 1976 Penn State graduate, Caldwell has a master’s degree from North Carolina State and a Ph.D from Maryland. She has previously been a member of Penn State’s faculty senate committee on intercollegiate athletics. • Green, Penn State’s recently hired associate athletic director and senior woman administrator. Green came to Penn State this past summer from

Megan was one of the lucky ones to bag a trophy. Her dad was not. “I had no luck. My luck was through my daughter’s eyes. But I really didn’t care after she pulled the trigger and it went down,” said Bill Rusonis, 49. Game officials estimated that about 60 percent of the anticipated harvest would be taken Monday. Game Commission spokesman Jerry Feaser said the number of hunters appeared to be up over last year. But Jody Gross, who managed to slay a seven-pointer near Sylvan Lake, said it appears to him that the number of sportsmen in the woods is down. “I think the younger people

“A year ago in my mind I was convinced I was done coaching,” he said. He added that he is feeling great. “I’ve been checked out and I’m ready to go,” he said. “I’ve been to a place and I don’t want to go back.” Meyer will become one of the highest paid coaches in college football, along with Alabama’s Nick Saban and Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops, and Texas’ Mack Brown. The school says he will receive a six-year contract that pays $4 million annually, plus another $2.4 million total in “retention payments.” He also can qualify for supplemental bonuses. Interim coach Luke Fickell, who took over when Jim Tressel was forced out for breaking NCAA rules, will coach the Buckeyes (6-6) in their bowl game and be retained by Meyer as an assist-

ant, although Meyer declined to say in what capacity. Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith said his first conversation with Meyer about becoming coach was on Nov. 20 by phone. Smith said the two met face-to-face Nov. 23. A proven winner Meyer won two national championships in six years as the coach at Florida. Now, the 47year-old will return to the place where his college coaching career began in 1986 after spending a year as an ESPN game analyst. “There’s a right time for certain leaders,” he said. “This is the right time for Urban Meyer to lead this football team. ... He gets it.” Earle Bruce, the head coach at Ohio State when Meyer was a graduate assistant, has remained a close friend and confidant of

Meyer through the years. He said he had no concerns about Meyer’s health. “Well, if he’d had a heart attack and his heart was bad, I’d be worried about that,” the 80-year-old Bruce said on Monday. “I’m not worried that he was stressed out over the game of football because he was thinking too much and not doing some things (exercising) that would have kept him straight. I think he got everything back under control by sitting out a year. I think he missed football. And he’s good at it.” Meyer’s news conference had to be stopped momentarily when a woman operating a camera for the Big Ten Network kneeled over during the middle of Meyer’s remarks. She was helped out of the meeting room. Meyer takes over a program that is likely facing NCAA sanctions and was crippled by the

were the first to accuse Fine, who has called the allegations “patently false.” And a third man came forward last week, accusing Fine of molesting him nine years ago. Bobby Davis, now 39, told ESPN that Fine molested him beginning in1984 and that the sexual contact continued until he was around 27. A ball boy for six years, Davis told ESPN that the abuse occurred at Fine’s home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team roadtrips,includingthe1987Final Four. His stepbrother, Mike Lang, 45, who also was a ball boy, told ESPN that Fine began molesting him while he was in fifth or sixth grade. Zach Tomaselli, 23, of Lewiston, Maine, said Sunday he told police that Fine molested him in 2002 in a Pittsburgh hotel room. Tomaselli, who faces sexual as-

sault charges in Maine involving a 14-year-old boy, said Fine touched him “multiple” times in that one incident. During a telephone interview with The Associated Press, he said he signed an affidavit accusing Fine following a meeting with Syracuse police last week in Albany. As supporters of victims of sex abuse called for Boeheim to be fired, university trustees were largely silent. “I don’t have anything to say about this,” said trustee H. Douglas Barclay, who earned his law degree from Syracuse in 1961 and was a New York state senator for 20 years. Reached in Naples, Fla., trustee Marvin Lender, class of 1963, referred all calls to Chancellor Nancy Cantor. “It’s a policy, and I want to ad-

here to it,” he said. Calls to several other trustees seekingcommentwerenotreturned. The allegations against Fine surfaced a week after Penn State school trustees fired Joe Paterno in the aftermath of child sex abuse charges against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, who is accused in a grand jury indictment of sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year period. Amid that child sex-abuse scandal, Penn State’s trustees ousted Paterno and university President Graham Spanier. The trustees said Spanier and Paterno, who is not the target of any criminal investigation, failed to act after a graduate assistant claimed he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a young boy in a campus shower in 2002.

Notre Dame, replacing the retired Susan Delaney-Scheetz. A former All-America softball player at the University of Utah, Green coached the sport at Colorado State, Syracuse and Notre Dame before becoming an administrator in South Bend in 2005, serving on a number of university and conference committees. • Lubert, a governor-appointed member of Penn State’s board of trustees as well as a chairman and co-founder of Lubert-Adler Real Estate and Independence Capital Partners, a group of private investment management firms. Lubert is a 1973 Penn State graduate and previously served on the board of trustees from 1997-2000 before being appointed back to the board by thenGov. Ed Rendell in 2007. He is in the midst of his second threeyear term since then. Followers of Penn State wrestling will recognize Lubert’s name as part of the committee that shockingly hired away Iowa State legend Cael Sanderson from his alma mater in 2009 to lead Penn State’s program. Under Sanderson, the Nittany Lions won their first wrestling national title in 58 years this past March Lubert and Joyner, wrestling

teammates in the ’70s at Penn State, were heavily involved in bringing Sanderson to the university. • Nichols, a professor emeritus of Penn State College of Communications, retired last fall and is the chair of the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics. The COIA is a national organization that represents 58 faculty senates from Football Bowl Subdivision schools to give an academic voice to athletic issues. Nichols has three degrees from the University of Minnesota, including a Ph.D, and has been a Penn State faculty member since 1977. • Rose, the school’s long-time women’s volleyball coach and the winningest coach in any sport in university history. In his 33rd season as head coach, Rose has won five national titles as the Lions have been the nation’s most dominant program in the past decade. On several occasions, Paterno referred to Rose as the best coach at Penn State. • Joyner, the acting athletic director on leave from the board of trustees while serving the new role. A former Penn State football and wrestling All-American, Joyner has said that there are no

restrictions on candidates for the job and anyone, including current members of the staff, can apply. Interim coach Tom Bradley has publicly expressed his interest in taking over on a full-time basis. Penn State’s brief release announcing the committee made no mention of Paterno, a common theme around the college football world this month. On Monday, the Maxwell Football Club announced that the Joseph V. Paterno Collegiate Coach of the Year Award will be discontinued after just one year. According to the club’s website, the award was created "to honor the spirit of Coach Paterno, whose long-time success on the field has been matched only by his impact away from it.” The Big Ten has already stripped Paterno’s name off of the league’s new championship trophy. Paterno, who is suffering from lung cancer, faces no criminal charges in connection to the Sandusky case. In his final public comment before being fired, Paterno said that, in hindsight, he wished he had done more to bring allegations against his former defensive coordinator to light.

are not picking it up and not making it a part of their legacy,” he said. More hunters in the woods usually equate to more movement among the deer herds, which makes for more opportunity for a kill, said Gross, 51, of Ross Township. Gross pointed to relatively bare woods and mild temperatures for sparse movement among the herds in Sweet Valley. “It was too warm. Very pleasant, but way too warm,” he said. But at least the deer population appears to be healthy in the area, Gross said. He thinks an increase in farming has attracted more deer in search of food as well. Gross will be returning to the woods today along with his brother Dana, of Mechanicsburg, who bagged a ninepointer on their Monday hunting trip.

The brothers will be putting on a drive for the members of their hunting party who weren’t as lucky as them Monday, including their 78-yearold father, Donald, who missed the season last year because of a quadruple heart bypass surgery just before Thanksgiving. Gross said his father spotted some deer that were too young to shoot on Monday, sporting less points than the minimum three on either side required by the state for a legal kill. Kevin Naugle, owner of Naugle’s Custom Butchering and Deer Processing in Lehman Township, said Monday was tremendously busy because of the warm weather, with hunters needing to have their trophies processed quickly. “I’ve seen a lot of big deer today, 14-pointers, a lot of beautiful deer,” Naugle said

Monday evening. Naugle said he’s thankful the Game Commission split the doe and buck seasons in many areas of the state this year, with doe season not starting until Saturday in many areas. “The processors just can’t handle it that fast,” Naugle said of business during a combined buck and doe season. “I heard of five or six shops that were turning people away (Monday) by 2 o’clock just because of the warm weather.” Daniel Figured, law enforcement supervisor for the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Northeast Region, which includes Luzerne and 13 other counties, said there were no reported accidents in the region Monday. The commission reported later Monday that a 14-yearold boy was hospitalized after accidentally shooting himself in the leg while in a tree stand

forced resignation of Tressel. The Buckeyes completed their only season under Fickell with a 40-34 loss to Michigan on Saturday that snapped a seven-game winning

streak to their rivals. In 10 seasons as a head coach — two at Bowling Green, two at Utah and six at Florida — Meyer has a 104-23 record.

bowl game with an expected rehab time of four to six months. Though Beachum has one year of eligibility left, he is on track to graduate next month and will likely not return for a fifth and final season in 2012. Beachum was a surprise member of Penn State’s senior day ceremonies earlier this month. This is the second major surgery for Beachum in his career, having suffered a torn ACL toward the end of the 2009 season. He used his available redshirt to sit out 2010 and was expected to be the top backup to Silas Redd this year. But a sprained foot in September caused him to miss time at the start of Big Ten play, and Beachum finished the regular season fourth on the team in rushing behind Redd, Stephfon Green and Curtis Dukes. Playing in parts of three seasons with the Lions, Beachum would finish his career with 361 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 86 attempts.

special. “I play in a conference where there are a lot of talented defensive linemen. That keeps you on your toes to be the best. … You have to have a mindset that you’re not gonna be blocked.” Despite facing plenty of double-teams in 12 regular season games, Still racked up 55 tackles, (17 for loss), along with 4.5 sacks. Still’s numbers were down in the final two weeks of the season, recording two total tackles against Ohio State and Wisconsin while splitting a sack on Saturday vs. the Badgers. Last week Still said he was battling the flu during the Buckeyes game and denied he was dealing with an injury following the loss to Wisconsin. Regardless, Still remains a finalist for three national awards -the Bednarik (top defensive player), the Nagurski (top defensive player) and the Outland (top interior lineman). Still was also named a firstteam All-Big Ten selection by both the media and the coaches, while linebacker Gerald Hodges was a first-team pick by the coaches and a second-team choice by the media. Defensive end Jack Crawford (coaches), kicker Anthony Fera (media), tailback Silas Redd (both) and safety Nick Sukay (both) also earned second-team honors. Honorable mention recognition went to safety Drew Astorino, tackle Quinn Barham, defensive tackle Jordan Hill, cornerback D’Anton Lynn, wide receiver Derek Moye, tackle Chima Okoli, cornerback Chaz Powell, linebacker Nate Stupar and guard Johnnie Troutman. Beachum undergoes surgery Tailback Brandon Beachum has likely played his final game for the Lions. The junior suffered a broken left ankle late in Saturday’s loss to Wisconsin. According to the Penn State, Beachum had surgery on Monday and will miss any potential

More conference winners The rest of the conference awards announced by the Big Ten on Monday were as follows: • Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year: Montee Ball, Wisconsin • Bakken-Andersen Kicker of the Year: Brett Maher, Nebraska • Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year: Lavonte David, Nebraska • Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year: Brett Maher, Nebraska • Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year: Russell Wilson, Wisconsin • Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year: Drake Dunsmore, Northwestern • Richter-Howard Receiver of the Year: Marvin McNutt, Iowa • Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year: David Molk, Michigan • Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back of the Year: Alfonzo Dennard, Nebraska The remaining season awards will be announced over the next two days: offensive and defensive player of the year honors coming on Wednesday, along with coach of the year.

Eachus third on Colgate’s all-time rushing list Nate Eachus started his football career at Colgate University as a linebacker. He ended up being one of the top running backs in the school’s history. Eachus (Hazleton Area) finished his career third on the all-time rushing list with 4,485 yards. The 5-foot-10, 212-pounder also finished third with 53 career touchdowns. Playing linebacker as a freshman, he moved to offense midway through a game against Cornell when All-American Jordan Scott was injured. Eachus rushed for 241 yards in just a little over two quarters in that game. He finished the season with 932 yards and 10 touchdowns and was named Patriot League Rookie of the Year. The injury bug got to him as a sophomore and he played in just eight games, finishing with 919 yards and 16 touchdowns. Last season was a breakout one for Eachus. He rushed for 1,871 yards and scored 21 touchdowns. He was a consensus Football Championship Subdivision All-American and was the Patriot Player of the Year. He rushed for a schoolrecord 291 yards against Cornell. This season, the injury bug struck again and Eachus saw action in just six of 11 games. He still managed 763 yards with six touchdowns. He didn’t make the All-Patriot team for the first time in four seasons. KORNFELD LED DEFENSE – The Ursinus field hockey team had one of the top defenses in the country in Division III and freshman Nora Kornfeld was a key performer with that unit. Kornfeld, from Kingston (Wyoming Seminary) started all 22 games for the Bears, who finished 19-3 overall and 9-1 in the Centennial Conference. She had two defensive saves as the team limited foes to 30 goals with seven shut-

Area e-tailers cash in with Cyber Monday sales By RON BARTIZEK rbartizek@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSON – Cyber Monday is big for igourmet, the local online specialty foods retailer. “It’s a major day, given how early it is in the season,” said company founder and CEO Spencer Chesman during the afternoon. He estimated the firm would sell “probably three times” the normal daily volume. As with other Internet retailers, igourmet saw an increase in traffic and sales this year over last, al-

I N

though like their brick-and-mortar counterparts, online stores had to work harder for it. Chesman said a Monday-only free shipping offer on orders over $60 was an extra incentive. “You have to be competitive,” he said of the deal that saved customers the usual $12.99 shipping charge. While Chesman is running more discounts this year, he has stayed with proven marketing techniques, such as search engine optimization and partnerships

with other companies. Facebook and other social media “do not seem to ring the cash register that much,” he said. John Miller, vice president of ecommerce for All About Dance in Forty Fort, said there was “a significant increase in traffic and sales” Monday from last year. The seller of dance clothing, shoes and fashion accessories also offered free ground shipping on Monday. National online sales on Cyber Monday, which was started in 2005 by a retail trade group to en-

Thirty-eight percent of all purchases were made online this year, up from 31 percent to 32 percent last year, said Sherif Mityas, partner in the retail practice of A.T. Kearney. Igourmet ran special discounts all weekend, Chesman said. Because many of the items, such as cheeses and meats, are perishable, the company also offers a “buy now, ship later” option. And while Chesman estimated a 10 percent increase on Monday that was half the national figure,

courage Americans to shop online on the Monday after Thanksgiving, were up early afternoon by 20 percent from a year ago, according to data from IBM Benchmark. The group did not give dollar amounts. The strong start follows an even stronger kickoff to the holiday shopping season over the weekend. Americans shopped in record numbers, driven by earlier store openings and a push by retailers for online sales. Online sales were strong even during the Black Friday weekend.

A strong start to the U.S. shopping season and new hope for a far-reaching solution to Europe’s debt crisis sent stocks sharply higher Monday.

European markets also soared as leaders there discussed new approaches for containing the region’s debt troubles.

Judge voids Citi settlement

A federal judge on Monday used unusually harsh language to strike down a $285 million settlement between Citigroup and the Securities and Exchange Commission, saying he couldn’t tell whether the deal was fair and criticizing regulators for shielding the public from the details of what the firm did wrong. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff said the public has a right to know what happens in cases that touch on “the transparency of financial markets whose gyrations have so depressed our economy and debilitated our lives.”

PITTSTON TWP. – Spurred by Marcellus Shale gas drilling, Delta Airlines in January will upgrade its daily flights between Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport from a 50-seat jet to a 65-seat jet.

The company planned to hire about 250 seasonal workers this year, but “We’re always looking for more” in case of a big order, Chesman said.

restoring an American Airlines flight to Chicago that was pulled from the schedule on Nov. 17, he’s eyeing non-stop flights to Myrtle Beach, Orlando, Washington, D.C. and Cleveland. The larger non-stop Atlanta flights will include nine first class seats. The current daily flights do not have any. The first larger jet will depart Pittston Township for Atlanta on Jan. 4 at 5:23 p.m., arriving at 7:55 p.m. A flight leaves Atlanta at 2:47 p.m. and lands locally at 4:48 p.m. It will be operated by Delta Connection carrier ExpressJet Airlines. Centini said the increased number of passengers the airport has seen the past two years is mostly attributed to the natural gas drilling industry that operates in the Marcellus Shale formation in the northern tier of Pennsylvania including Bradford, Tioga and Susquehanna counties.

Are we spoiled yet? Wow! These temperatures are enough to make the geese head back north, to make me have to wait at the first tee. I even fired up the old lawn mower this past weekend, a rarity for it being after Thanksgiving. So far, this month is tied with being the fifth warmest November on record and is just more evidence to suggest that the warmer weather of fall is lasting longer and longer into the cold weather season. Is it global warming? Maybe. Perhaps this year, it's related to the current La Nina. Whatever the cause, I like it! The grass is green. Life is good. - Tom Clark

K HOW TO

AVOID COMMON BREAKFAST MISTAKES

Many people start their day with diet blunders. Here’s how to correct them, with help from Dr. Wayne Andersen, an obesity specialist in Maryland and medical director for Take Shape for Life, a weight loss program: Skipping breakfast ... Dieters often use this strategy, but numerous studies have found breakfast eaters are more likely

to maintain a healthy weight and make better food choices throughout the day. Even an unhealthy breakfast is almost always better than no breakfast at all. ... or eating it too late. Don’t wait longer than an hour. “Thirty minutes is ideal,” Andersen says. Not eating enough protein. You

won’t stay full long on carbohydrate-rich breakfasts such as sugary cereals or pastries. Choose cereals made from rice, oats, wheat, barley or rye; eggs and low-fat dairy such as yogurt and milk also are good protein sources. Skimping on fiber. Fiber is filling enough to lower your overall caloric intake without leaving you feeling deprived. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals

and add fruits and vegetables and a handful of nuts and seeds to staples such as cereal and eggs. Taking in too many — or too few — calories. Most people should aim for roughly 300 to 400 calories per morning meal. Not reading food labels. Compare total calories, protein, fiber, sugar and fat content, and pay attention to serving sizes. Remember that some “healthy”

foods such as granola and cereal bars can be very high in sugar and fat. If you’re eating at a restaurant, check for nutrition facts via online menus. Drinking too many calories. Fruit juices and energy drinks, along with many flavored coffee creamers, often are packed with sugar. Water and unsweetened green tea are always good choices. — MCT Information Services

Risk of disease partially set in womb, scientists say By JULIE DEARDOFF Chicago Tribune

Pregnant women sacrifice many of life’s simple pleasures — caffeine, sushi, a glass of wine — in the hope that their baby will be born healthy. But according to a provocative new field of research, what happens during pregnancy can have lasting consequences that emerge decades after the child leaves the hospital. Studies are finding that adult illnesses like heart disease, stroke, cancer

and diabetes can have roots in the mysterious months we spend in the womb. Although genetics and lifestyle choices certainly influenceanadult’sriskofgettingadisease, researchers now believe that the food a pregnant woman eats, her weight and fitness, her stress level, and the drugs, pollutants and infections she is exposed to can trigger changes that also make her baby vulnerSee PREGNANCY, Page 2C

Q: For years, I’ve had a glass of warm milk to help me fall asleep. I think it works as well as a sleeping pill, but it’s a lot safer and is natural — which I like. Is it the tryptophan in the milk that causes me to feel sleepy? — M.G., Philadelphia A: Warm milk at bedtime definitely can have a calming effect, but despite popular belief, it’s probably not caused by the effect of the amino acid tryptophan on the brain. You see, in order for tryptophan or any sleep-promoting drug to work, it must cross the “blood-brain barrier” and get from the bloodstream into the brain tissue. It turns out that all the other amino acids that collectively make up milk protein block the amino acid tryptophan from getting into the brain. The “trick,” researchers say, is to have a high carbohydrate food just before drinking milk — like cookies or toast. Just remember to brush your teeth before going to bed! Carbs cause a spike in your insulin level, and that seems to make it somewhat easier for tryptophan to cross into the brain. Without that carb snack, the sedating effect of warm milk is probably due to the calming effect of drinking a warm liquid and a belief in its effects (i.e., a placebo effect). By the way, the proposed way that tryptophan induces sleep is that it is a chemical precursor in the body’s production of the brain neurotransmitter and mood-improver serotonin. Serotonin, in turn, can be converted into the hormone melatonin (involved in the body’s sleepwake cycle). Q: I’m curious: Just how did the folks at Pfizer come up with the drug Viagra? — P.E., Jacksonville, Fla. A: Like a lot of new discoveries, it was discovered by serendipity. In 1992, a doctor in a small Welsh town on the other side of the pond was conducting a research trial on a new drug to treat angina. While his findings were disappointing, he noticed that the experimental drug UK-92480 had the curious side effect of causing erections when tested on healthy male subjects. On March 23, 1998, after a number of years of further research, Pfizer received FDA approval for the use of Viagra to treat erectile dysfunction. Pop a pill one hour before sex — it became as simple as that. The impact that Viagra has made both in terms of the treatment of erectile dysfunction and social attitude toward the condition itself cannot be overstated. Erectile dysfunction has evolved from a condition that was as difficult to treat as it was for a man to talk about, to a condition whose treatment was once proudly emblazoned across Mark Martin’s No. 6 hood on the NASCAR circuit and is forever a sponsor for the preservation of a man’s virility.

able to disease after birth. For example, scientists have found that a diet containing excessive protein can suppress fetal growth and lead to adult-onset hypertension. Expectant mothers who starved during their final trimester as a result of the Dutch famine of 1944-45 were more likely to have babies who later developed Type 2 diabetes. And the children of obese mothers also are at high risk of Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. “Human beings break down the same reason cars break down; they’re either driven on bad roads or made badly in the first place,” said David Barker, a professor of clinical epidemiology at England’s UniversityofSouthampton,whoin 1989 initially advanced the idea that coronary heart disease might originate in fetal life. “Some people are just strong and some are not. Being made bad means, biologically, that you have fewer functioning units.” Experts stress that this field of study is relatively new and that the physical mechanisms that might explain the correlations between stressors in the womb and mechanical problems down the road are unclear. It is also not lost on researchers that some pregnant women already are wracked with guilt over forgettingtheirprenatalvitaminsoreating hot dogs instead of broccoli. “I feel like a walking bomb,” said Chicago’s Amy Elstein, 28, who is five months pregnant and fears that her stress levels are affecting her baby. “It’s like my body is not my own. EverythingIputintoit—whatIeat, what I breathe — I worry that will have an effect on my child.” “Pregnancy feels like a period in your life when you want very badly to do the right thing, but you don’t have control of what’s going to happen, so women look for areas they can control,” said Dr. Ann Borders, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern

University. “We’re trying to help women be aware of unhealthy stresses but not freak out that they’rehurtingbabyforlongterm.” The current advice for pregnant women still stands: Eat nutritious foods, exercise, reduce stress and avoid smoking and drinking. But Barker and other scientists in the field want to step up prenatal care radically because they believe the diets of girls and young women are determining the health of the next generation. Eventually, this area of research “will make a huge impact on not just what we tell women during pregnancy, but what our children’s health will be,” said Alan Guttmacher, director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Itwasoncewidelyassumedthat, aside from cigarette smoke, drugs and excessive alcohol, the uterus, or womb, sheltered the fetus from environmental influences. Scientists also thought that the growing fetuscouldsiphonoffnecessarynutrients from a mother like a parasite to ensure its survival. Two decades of research into the fetal origins of disease, however, have challenged both assumptions and led to a revolutionary shift into the thinking about health and development. According to Barker’s widely accepted fetal origins theory, also referred to as the developmental originsofhealthanddisease,stressors in the womb can permanently change a fetus’s body structure, physiology and metabolism. Those changes then can lead to a higher risk of illness in the future. Though some research looks at the effects of environmental exposures and psychological stress, much attention centers on nutrient deprivation, which occurs when the mother isn’t getting amino acids, glucose and lipids to the developing baby quickly enough to meet its growing needs. For example, most pancreatic beta cells — they produce the insulin thatregulatesbloodsugar—areproducedduringfetallife,saidDr.Susan Ozanne, a British Heart Foundation senior fellow at the University of Cambridge. If the environment in

“Pregnancy feels like a period in your life when you want very badly to do the right thing, but you don’t have control of what’s going to happen, so women look for areas they can control. We’re trying to help women be aware of unhealthy stresses but not freak out that they’re hurting baby for long term.” Dr. Ann Borders, An assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University

the womb is suboptimal, as when a mother isn’t getting enough protein to the fetus, the baby can wind up with fewer beta cells. “This causes us problems later on, particularly if we place high demands on our body to produce insulin by becoming obese or eating high-sugar diets. Then we don’t have enough beta cells to produce the amount of insulin we need,” Ozanne said. Nourishing a fetus, however, involves more than just eating the right foods. A woman’s body composition also can affect how well her placenta transfers nutrients to the fetus. “Different types of women provide different levels of access to her nutrients,” said Kent Thornburg, directoroftheHeartResearchCenter at Oregon Health and Science University. “Thin mothers with

lowamountsofmusclearelessable to handle protein than more muscular women, for example. Women who carry large amounts of fat are in a constant state of mild inflammation, which affects the formation and function of the placenta.” Fetal programming may work in at least two ways. One is that nutrient deprivation may simply stunt the growth of organs or tissue. If a fetus can’t get enough nutrients, scientists believe, it adapts by diverting sustenance to organs crucial for survival, such as the brain and heart. That can compromise other organs, such as the kidneys, lungs and pancreas, leaving the developing baby more vulnerable to illness down the road. “The idea of the human baby as an efficient extraction of nutrients frommotheriscompletelywrong,” saidBarker,alsoaprofessorofmed-

icine at Oregon Health and Science University. The other proposed mechanism is epigenetics, a process by which stressors modify the body’s DNA in ways that affect the functioning of key genes. Ozanne and her colleagues at Cambridge found that rat pups whose mothers ate a low-protein diet during pregnancy had low levels of activity of a gene called HNF4. That “leads to a reduction in the number of pancreatic beta cells that develop in the fetus, making them less able to produce sufficient levels of insulin in adulthood,” Ozanne said. Fetal exposure to the stress hormone cortisol appears to trigger both processes. The placenta normally shields a fetus from exposure to cortisol, but if a mother is chronically stressed — constantly in fight-or-flight mode — it can’t produce enough enzymes to do the job. If the fetus is exposed, Thornburg said, cortisol not only slows growth in most organs, “it also modifies genes through epigenetic mechanisms to make them lose their protective functions.” Chicago’s Sara Strother, 30, who is due in December, said she keeps her stress levels down with yoga and avoids pesticides, plastic con-

tainers, cigarette smoke, alcohol, chemicals found in commercial cleaning products, airplanes (because of radiation exposure), even people with negative attitudes. “You name it, I am paranoid,” StrothersaidduringarecentMother Me childbirth education class at Sweet Pea’s Studio in Chicago. Early in Strother’s pregnancy, she bought a juicer and binged on carrot juice. She then panicked after reading that high doses of vitamin A could be harmful. Her midwife eased her concerns: Carrots are OK. High doses of vitamin A supplements may not be. Elstein, a recruiter, said she also tries to be careful about what she eats, drinks and inhales. She holds her breath around buses and moved out of the house for two days when a room was painted. “I’m so scared something will go wrong and I will blame myself, so I cope by trying to control what I can to ease my concerns.” Eventually, she talked to a therapist who reminded her that many people have babies in less than ideal circumstances and things work out. “That’s what I try to remind myself when I get nervous or scared,” she said. “The cells are dividing and there’s nothing I can do to stop this train from leaving the station.” 8 2 6 -170 0

US Foods helps colleges meet demand for healthier menus Marketwire

ROSEMONT, IL — US FoodsDallas hosted a special educational forum for colleges and universities from across the country to share challenges and best practices for meeting the dietary needs of students. Among the issues discussed was how on-campus cafeterias can create a healthy gluten-free menu, a dietary trend being adopted by a growingnumberofcollegestudents. “Demand for gluten-free productsrose200percentacrossourentire customer base since we began offering the products in 2009,” said Mark Eggerding, senior vice president of category sales and training, US Foods. “One of the biggest issues for those who follow glutenfree diets is a lack of variety in products to choose from. That’s why US Foods offers an extensive line of nearly 500 healthy, delicious, gluten-free food items for students.” Gluten is a protein found in grains including wheat, rye and barley — all very common ingredients in food products. Gluten must be avoided by people with celiac disease and other digestive disorders.

Brain vaccine turns fatal disease into chronic illness By FRED TASKER McClatchy Newspapers

MIAMI — When U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy was diagnosed with a glioblastoma of the brain in May 2009, doctors understood there was little chance he could survive it. He died that August. “That’s a malignant tumor. The current five-year survival rate is 1 percent,” says Ricardo Komotar, a neurooncologist at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. But cancer specialists from the University of Miami Medical School and nine other U.S. institutions are well into clinical experiments aimed at ending the tumor’s fatal reputation. “We’re not going to cure it,” says Komotar, who is also director of surgical neurooncology at University of Miami Hospital. “Our goal is to convert it into a chronic condition like high blood pressure or diabetes that you can live the rest of your life with and live a very normal life.” Their weapon: a brain cancer vaccine. It’s not a preventive vaccine like a flu or polio shot, given to ward off disease. Instead, it’s a “therapeutic” vaccine given after the patient already has the tumor. It’s still called a vaccine because, unlike most cancer medicines, it doesn’t attack the disease directly.

Instead, it marshals the body’s own immune system to attack it. “This is the future of cancer therapy,”Komotarsays.“Radiationand chemotherapy fight the cancer but they also kill normal cells, and they’re toxic. This kills the cancer without harming normal tissue.” Sheryl Shetsky, president of the Florida Brain Tumor Association, said the research is important because “glioblastomas are 30 percent of all brain tumors, and they’re the most devastating tumor. You’re still going to want radiation and chemo for other cells you can’t see. But this can buy the patient a lot more time.” The new vaccine is given quickly after a patient’s glioblastoma is diagnosed, Komotar says, because doctors need to use the excised tumor to make the vaccine. In the treatment, surgeons remove the malignant tumor, then isolate and concentrate essential proteins from it and inject them back into the patient’s arm six to eight weeks later. The patient’s immune system recognizes the proteins as invaders, and produces billions of T-cells, its natural attack system, to fight it. “It really sparks the immune system; it gives it a target,” Komotar says. “Lots of work remains to be done, but it is a step in the right di-

rection.” Developed about five years ago at the University of California at San Francisco, the vaccine did so well in Phase I clinical trials for safety that it now has U.S Food and Drug Administration approval to begin Phase II trials for efficacy. EveninthePhaseItrials,itgreatly extended the life expectancy of volunteers, Komotar says. Phase II is a multicenter trial with hundreds of patients at 10 institutions including the University of Miami, University of California at San Francisco, Mayo Clinic, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Yale and Case Western. If this phase is successful, Phase III would involve many more patients and could result in final FDA approval in three or four years, Komotar says. The University of Miami has begun recruiting volunteers for the study. A patient must have been diagnosed by MRI with a glioblastoma, but must not have started surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. That’s because study surgeons must remove an intact tumor to use in creating the vaccine. To volunteer, call Komotar at 305-6892427 or 917-617-2140 or at rkomotarmed.miami.edu.

in nursing homes. By spending time with Alzheimer’s patients, she realized that many “were as isolated in their failing minds and bodies as I was in my grief,” she said in a recent blog post. “Friends seem to fear a person with Alzheimer’s. A lot of people they thought were friends — disappear,” said Donna True, a licensed clinical social worker with the local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. True has been working with people in support groups for 17 years. Over the years she has seen that a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s can affect not only the patient but the caregiver. “We see it over and over again. People abandon people that they’ve known for a long time,” she said. Holding a doctorate in counselor education, Cail has been volunteering for the Alzheimer’s Association for seven years. Her suggestions in the book come from interviews and encounters with people dealing with the disease. Cail’s book threads narrative along with simple points on how a friend can continue to be a friend. It also offers advice for when a friend takes on the fulltime role of caregiver. Cail recommends that friends avoid phrases such as: “I forget things. Everyone does. It’s all right.” Or: “What you said was

nect patients and their loved ones to the help they need. Stein says much more attention is now given to the caregiver, including their emotional and financial obstacles. Cail spends about half of her book telling people how to be a good friend to caregivers. “Keep your friend in your life because of the relationship you’ve built together, not because she’s in a position to match your hospitality,” Cail says. “There are few more powerful messages one friend can give another than the promise of presence through the bad times as well as the good.” Some of Cail’s recommendations include: “Take over takeout.” Most of us who aren’t fulltime caregivers would graciously accept a meal we didn’t have to spend hours preparing. A takeout meal doesn’t burden the friend with the cooking either. But call ahead so you don’t catch your friend off guard. And when you show up with the cartons of Chinese food, stick around for dinner and offer “the

(witty, clever, sharp, or insightful). You’re back to your normal self.” Other unhelpful phrases include: • “Have faith. Be strong. We’re not given more than we can bear.” • “You’re healthy in other ways; that’s a plus.” • “I’m sure they’ll find a cure. Try not to worry.” • “I don’t see anything wrong with you.” Cail calls these “misguided condolences,” and says they work against mollifying the situation. That’s because the friend is not accepting reality, which only increases the anguish of the patient. When friends become a caregiver, they too may feel isolated, as they may feel uneasy about taking their spouse or parent to social events. “Caregiving has taken on a whole new face than it used to have because of the aging boomers,” said Nancy Strickman Stein, founder of Seniority Matters, a local referral network and website (www.senoritymatters.com) that strives to con-

promise of companionship.” Skip the money woes by deciding how to handle the expense in advance. “Visit by phone.” Don’t forget the ease of picking up the phone and keeping your friend company. Caregivers may have a hard time getting out and socializing and, “the more sophisticated and convenient ways of communicating,

the greater the despair of being alone,” Cail says. “Understand it’s not forever.” Acknowledge that your interaction with one another may need some adjusting, recognize that your relationship with your friend will be different. “Don’t problem solve, just listen.” Men have often been accused of attempting to problem solve

when their significant other isn’t really looking for a solution, but rather just a listening ear. And the same goes for an exhausted caregiver. “When the caregiver needs to talk, don’t problem solve or moralize,” Cail says, “Reflect emotion and ask nonintrusive questions that show interest and concern. It will be enough.”

Wife’s mumbling causes failure to communicate with her husband Dear Abby: My wife of 25 years has an annoying habit. When she starts a conversation with me, she’ll speak in a very low voice and mumble without looking at me. I truly cannot hear or understand what she’s saying and have to respond with, “Excuse me?” or “Pardon me?” When I speak to her, I make sure I talk clearly, but she always throws the same remarks back at me — “Excuse me?” etc. She doesn’t do this with anyone else. I have pointed out to her that what she is doing is annoying, disrespectful and rude, and asked her to please not do it, but she continues. Why does she do this to me, and what can we do to change it? There’s

DEAR ABBY ADVICE nothing wrong with her hearing. She’s always telling me to turn down the TV. — Married to a Mumbler in San Diego Dear Married To A Mumbler: Allow me to offer a suggestion that may improve the situation: Have YOUR hearing checked. If you can’t hear your wife when she speaks softly and isn’t looking directly at you, and she “always” tells you to turn down the TV, it could indicate that you are suffering from a hearing loss. Dear Abby: My mother is a

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

terrible gift-giver. At Christmas and on birthdays she gives me ridiculous gifts — clothing that doesn’t fit, jewelry I would never wear, electronics I haven’t asked for and don’t need. Last year, she removed the tags from everything and didn’t include receipts so the items could be returned. (Some were very costly.) I have created online wish lists, offered Mom “suggestions” and even told her not to worry about gifts. She’ll take none of my suggestions. I try to be polite. But Mom’s feelings are always hurt when I’m not “thrilled” with the unwanted gifts, and it puts a damper on events that should be happy ones. I hate her wasting money on things that will not be used. How do I handle this? — Unfortunately Ungrateful

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Ungrateful: Because you have tried being logical, helpful and frank, and nothing has worked, thank your mother for her gifts and then put them on eBay or donate them. That way SOMEONE can appreciate them. Dear Abby: We have close friends and alternate having dinner at each other’s homes. The wife has a couple of habits I find annoying. She’ll run her fingers around the outside of a serving dish and then lick her finger. After dinner, I always have a dish of candy on the table for everyone’s enjoyment. But before this woman leaves, she’ll say she’s taking some of it home to eat later. Am I being petty to be annoyed by her behavior? — Willing to Share, But ...

Dear Willing: I can see how a dinner guest running her finger around a serving dish, then licking her finger could gross you out, and we both know that rather than telling you she’s taking some of your candy home with her, she should wait until you offer it. However, you say you are close friends. Therefore I assume that on some level her positives outweigh her negatives, or you would have expressed how her behavior makes you feel. 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). Anyone who has something to teach will gravitate toward you because you’re eager to learn and are tenacious enough to apply what you learn until it works for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know about human nature. You realize that even the most selfless people won’t be compelled to move forward until they know what’s in it for them. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll bask in the warmth and attention of an affectionate someone. And though it’s wonderful to feel acknowledged, you’ll move quickly on because there’s so much you want to do. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Keep your message short and to the point. When your communication is punchy and easy to remember, it will be acted upon. People will move in the way you want them to go. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll use affirmations early in the day to improve the quality of your thoughts on a personal level. You’ll notice immediately that the world responds positively to your personality. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s not about fitting in right now. You’ll note that those around you have different strengths, beliefs and modes of self-expression. And yet you see how you can work together. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You sense what will make money, get attention or do both. You’re willing to do what works, even if the opinion leaders don’t quite get it. You would rather be “hot” than “cool” anyway.

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). The day may seem long, but the week will seem short. So revel in the drawn-out moments, especially if your loved ones are near. You will only be this age once. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Knowing what makes you happy is one thing — and quite a useless thing, too, unless you’re also willing to act on what you know. You are! In fact, you won’t hesitate to follow through. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Do not communicate your secrets to someone because you feel compelled to do so. The feeling is likely coming from an ego need for attention. The need will fade tomorrow, but secret knowledge will linger on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A friend has made a difference in your life, and you’ll acknowledge the difference in your thoughts. If you let the friend know in writing, the gesture will be quite meaningful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It may take a few hours to get yourself sorted out in the morning. But as soon as you get your priorities straight, you will handle what’s important to you, and you will handle it well. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 29). You’ll buck tradition. In December, you’ll make a decision that surprises loved ones. They will understand it better in the new year. In February, your job will require you to use imagination and artistry. You’ll travel to be with family. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 2, 40 and 18.
