And one of the first people to greet him when he came off the field was fellow wide receiver Eugene Lewis. The two players are listed 1-2 on the depth chart for Penn State at split end. But while Robinson finds himself among the national receiving leaders, Lewis finds himself likely headed for a redshirt season. Page 1B

onyngham resident Tiffany Cloud Olson willed herself to stay strong when she said good bye to her husband at the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey in March 2011. • Erik Olson’s special operations unit was headed to the “tip of the spear,” a mountainous region of eastern Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush province near Pakistan loaded with insurgent activity. The odds were 50-50 that he’d come back alive – with injuries.

“Don’t worry, honey. I’ll come home,” he said, touching her face. “Preferably breathing,” she said, trying to lighten the moment. “He laughed and then turned around and walked off to war,” Tiffany recalled Sunday from her East Benjamin Avenue home. She also faced her own war that day against the terrors of coping while a loved one is in the battle zone. She banged out her pain

Happy Constitution Day? Area schools plan lessons in liberty By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

It may never have caught on like “Labor Day” or “Independence Day,” but by federal law promulgated in 2004, today is “Constitution and Citizenship Day.” And the law – championed into existence by the late Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va. – requires any organization that receives federal funding to provide some type of Constitution education on or near the date the document was ratified. That would be Sept. 17. Which is why most public school students will find themselves getting a dollop of Constitution lessons, though few are apt to see school-wide assemblies. “We leave that to the building principals,” Greater Nanticoke

Area Superintendent Tony Perrone said, echoing a common comment among district administrators since the law went into effect in 2005. In Pittston Area School District, Social Studies Chair Michael Fuller said seventh-grade geography students will study what Article Four says about admitting new states, eighth-grade history students will analyze the preamble to see how the new Constitution fixed problems with the Articles of Confederation, ninth-grade civics students will discuss the duties of citizenship, among other plans to meet the mandate. The Constitution lessons can be done in any class. Fuller noted that 12th-grade psychology stu-

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan police killed four American soldiers coming to their aid after a checkpoint attack Sunday, the third “insider” assault by government forces or insurgents disguised in military uniforms in as many days. The escalating violence — including a NATO airstrike that killed eight Afghan women and girls gathering firewood in a remote part of the country — strained the military partnership between Kabul and NATO as the U.S. begins “But they are to withdraw thousands Afghans and of troops sent three they know that years ago to route the Taliban from southern Americans are strongholds.

The U.S. is days away from completing the first stage of its own drawdown, withdrawing 33,000 troops that were part of a military surge three years ago. The U.S. will remain with about 68,000

Obama, Romney court key states Both campaigns wrangle over unrest in the Mideast and jump-starting the economy. By KEN THOMAS Associated Press

BURLINGTON, Mass. — President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are embarking on a week heavy with travel through battleground states and appeals to key constituencies, with both campaigns wrangling over unrest in the Middle East and who is best equipped to rejuvenate the economy. Both candidates are courting voters in a series of must-win states and reaching out to a number of voting groups that could determine the election, from working-class white voters in states such as Ohio and Wisconsin to Latino voters in Florida and viewers of a popular Spanish-language television network. Obama and Romney have dueled for an advantage on foreign policy, with attention focused on unrest in the Middle East in reaction to an anti-Muslim video that led to the storming of several U.S. diplomatic posts and the killing of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. Romney’s campaign has pointed to the events in Egypt and Libya as evidence of national security weakness from the Obama administration. Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, defended the administration on Sunday talk shows, calling the critique a “very empty and baseless charge of weakness.” Romney and Obama have also tangled over China, each accusing the other of supporting poli-

cies that would move American jobs overseas. Romney released a television advertisement last week assailing Obama for “failing American workers” and ignoring unfair trade practices by China. Obama responded with an ad accusing Romney of outsourcing jobs to China when he worked in the private sector. Obama was kicking off a week of travel in Ohio today, with stops planned in Cincinnati and Columbus. The president was raising campaign cash in New York on Tuesday, followed by events in Florida on Thursday, Virginia on Friday and Wisconsin on Saturday — all states that Obama carried in the 2008 election. Obama was making his first trip to Wisconsin in months and his most pronounced pitch to voters there since Romney added Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to the ticket. Wisconsin has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since President Ronald Reagan in 1984 and is considered one of Romney’s most enticing electoral targets. Romney’s itinerary included fundraising stops in the Los Angeles area today along with outreach to key Latino voters, including an address to the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and an interview with Spanish-language television network Telemundo. The network interviewed Obama last week. Romney was also expected to hold fundraising events in Utah and Texas before heading to Florida for fundraisers later in the week. Both campaigns have competed vigorously for voters in eight states likely to decide the election: Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa, New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada and North Carolina.

‘Evil’ flick sinks ‘Nemo’ Cult drama ‘The Master’ opens strong on just a handful of screens. By CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic

LOS ANGELES — Paul Thomas Anderson’s cult drama “The Master” commanded a huge following in its opening weekend, smashing records on just a handful of screens. The Weinstein Co. release made $729,745 in five theaters in New York and Los Angeles for a record-setting per-screen average of $145,949, according to Sunday studio estimates. The hugely anticipated film, which just won several of the top awards at the Venice Film Festival and will open in more cities in upcoming weeks, stars Philip

Seymour Hoffman as a charismatic cult leader and Joaquin Phoenix as his wayward protege. The No. 1 film at the box office was “Resident Evil: Retribution,” which took in an estimated $21.1 million in its debut. This is the fifth film in the Sony Screen Gems action franchise, starring Milla Jovovich. That topped the 3-D re-release of the Disney Pixar animated favorite “Finding Nemo,” which opened in second place with $17.5 million. The 3-D “Resident Evil: Retribution” was directed by Jovovich’s husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, who has made three of the five films. It features the actress once again as the warrior Alice, the last hope for the human race as an evil corporation unleashes a deadly virus that creates more flesh-eating undead on a world-

And fittingly, the film performed even better internationally, where it made a healthy $50 million. “You have to give so much credit for that to Milla,” said Rory Bruer, Sony’s head of distribution. “She’s such an incredible star and absolutely just works so hard in every country. Whether it’s Russia or Japan, everywhere she’s gone, she’s worked so hard in regards to making the franchise a success.” The re-do of “Finding Nemo” follows in a recent tradition of Disney converting its classic animated movies into 3-D for a whole new audience. The 2003 underwater comedy about a tiny, lost fish named Nemo, featuring the voices of Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres and Willem Dafoe, won the Academy Award for best animated feature.

Jordyn Colao, Miss Pennsylvania, goes over her talent routine with her coach, Candice Miscavage, at the David Blight School of Dance in Wilkes-Barre.

She’s got the beat Miss Pa. takes heart message to dance floor

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

It happened when she was 15, and 19 and 21. Three times Jordyn Colao lost one of her grandparents to heart disease. “Each time the loss was horrible,” she said. Colao, 22, uses her grief as motivation and her position as Miss Pennsylvania to educate people about ways to stave off cardiovascular problems. Her message to young people, which she likes to deliver at schools, is simple: Exercise. “Everybody has become so sedentary with video games and TV,” she said. Colao, who hopes to eventually become a physician’s assistant, is definitely not sedentary. She proved that last week as she spent hours working on tap dancing with Candice Kennedy Miscavage at the David Blight School of Dance in Wilkes-Barre. The title holder could be working

with a choreographer in her native Erie; in State College, where she recently earned an undergraduate degree in behavioral health, or in New York or Philadelphia, where she has also taken dance lessons. But she has been working with Miscavage during periodic visits to Wilkes-Barre because “nobody is quite the choreographer Candice is.” Proof of Miscavage’s success in coaching contestants lines the walls of her dance studio in downtown WilkesBarre. “They’re all right here on the wall,” she said, pointing to portraits of Linda O’Boyle Zaneski, Judy Fitch, Katerina Sitaris, Darlene Deeley, Michelle Kline and Shannon Doyle, all of whom won the Miss Pennsylvania title and competed in previous Miss America Scholarship Pageants. Could Colao win the national title in Las Vegas during the January 2013 pageant?. “I have high hopes,” Miscavage said. “She has good feet.”

PLYMOUTH – A group of local history buffs packed their baskets and blankets Sunday for the third annual Old Tyme Family Day Picnic at the Shawnee Cemetery. The annual fundraiser is sponsored by the Shawnee Cemetery Preservation Association for the upkeep of the historical burial ground. Association officials say American war dead from all of the U.S. conflicts dating back to the Revolution are interred in the cemetery. Sunday’s event featured old-fashioned picnic fare, a slate of guest speakers, patriotic music and a presentation by members of Gravestone Paranormal group. Shawnee Vice President Steve Kondrad conducted a guided walking tour of the grounds. “It was a Victorian tradition to hold picnics in cemeteries,” said association President Tom Jesso Sr., who founded the group in 2007. “We wanted to honor that tradition and at the same time, showcase the cemetery.” Jesso said the association is an allvolunteer organization that just received its non-profit status from the state this year.

Colao has high hopes, too. This has been a dream of hers for a long time, since she grew up watching the annual pageant with her two sisters, her mom and one of her grandmothers.

Israeli PM makes pitch to U.S. voters

B R I E F

Netanyahu wants someone to draw a ‘red line’ on Iranian nukes. By ANNE FLAHERTY Associated Press

AP PHOTO

Look ma, no traffic jams

A girl rides on a wave board in one of Belgium’s busiest streets during Car Free Day in downtown Brussels on Sunday. The campaign first originated in France in 1998, aiming to promote environmentally friendly transport and ease city traffic congestion.

WASHINGTON — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a direct appeal to American voters on Sunday to elect a president willing to draw a “red line” with Iran, comparing Tehran’s nuclear program to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and reminding Americans of the devastating repercussions of failed intelligence. His remarks were an impassioned election-season plea from a world leader who

insists he doesn’t want to insert himself into U.S. politics and hasn’t endorsed either candidate. But visibly frustrated by U.S. policy under President Barack Obama, the hawkish Israeli leader took advantage of the week’s focus on unrest across the Muslim world and America’s time-honored tradition of the Sunday television talk shows to appeal to Americans headed to the polls in less than two months. Tehran claims its nuclear program is peaceful. Netanyahu said the U.S. would be foolish to believe that, using football metaphors and citing example of past terrorist attacks on U.S. soil to appeal to his American audience. “It’s like Timothy McVeigh walking into

a shop in Oklahoma City and saying, ‘I’d like to tend my garden. I’d like to buy some fertilizer ...’ Come on. We know that they’re working on a weapon,” Netanyahu said. Obama and his top aides, who repeatedly say all options remain on the table, have pointed to shared U.S.-Israeli intelligence that suggests Iran hasn’t decided yet whether to build a bomb. Netanyahu disagrees, estimating that Iran is about six months away from having most of the enriched uranium it needs and warning that letting them reach the “goal line” would have disastrous consequences. Obama’s Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, has said he is willing to take a

Gun threat delays game

One day after a “credible shooting threat” forced the postponement of their game, two northern New Jersey high school football teams finally squared off. The game between Northern Valley Regional High School and Teaneck was scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday in Teaneck. But it was called off 15 minutes before the opening kickoff and rescheduled for Sunday. When the game was played, Northern Valley Regional came away with a 34-14 victory. Teaneck police said they are still working to determine who made the threat and why it happened. Extra police officers were on duty at the school on Sunday, but no problems were reported during the game. JALISCO, MEXICO

Mutilated bodies found

The dismembered bodies of 17 men were found Sunday on a farm in central Mexico, in an area disputed by violent drug cartels, officials said. Jalisco state prosecutor Tomas Coronado Olmos said the bodies were dumped by a highway in the town of Tizapan el Alto near the border between Jalisco and Michoacan states. Authorities discovered the bodies while Mexicans celebrated Independence Day. Coronado Olmos didn’t reveal the identities of the slain but said the bodies were naked, mutilated and stacked with chains around their necks. Mexico’s drug cartels have regularly left behind such grisly remains as they battle for control of key trafficking routes and markets. PARIS

Court to hear topless case

A French court today will consider issuing an injunction against the French magazine Closer over its publication of topless photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge. The news came as Prince William and his wife, the former Kate Middleton , arrived in the Solomon islands for a two day visit. The couple have accused the magazine of violating her privacy by publishing the photos, taken while she was on a private estate in Provence, southern France. An Irish newspaper has since published the photos, while other European publications have said they are considering doing so. More than 200 police officers are involved in covering the couple’s visit, partly over concerns about the Solomon Islands’ volatile political situation.

territory, as the government and opposition said an explosion killed at least seven and cut off a main road leading south from the capital. In letters to the U.N. Security Council and Secretary-General Ban KiMoon, Syria’s Foreign Ministry said Turkey allowed “thousands of al-Qaida, Takfiri and Wahhabi terrorists” access to the country in order to “kill innocent Syrians, blow up their properties and spread chaos and destruction.” Syrian authorities blame the antigovernment uprising that began in March last year on a foreign conspiracy and accuse Gulf countries Saudi Arabia and Qatar, along with the U.S, other Western countries and Turkey, of offering funding and training to the rebels, whom they describe as “terrorists.”

Federal do-not-call list was put in place nearly a decade ago to limit telemarketing sales calls. By JENNIFER C. KERR Associated Press

AP PHOTOS

A protester holds stone as others hang a flag at the entry of the gate of the U.S. consulate Sunday during a demonstration in Karachi, Pakistan. Hundreds of Pakistanis protesting an anti-Islam video produced in the United States clashed with police Sunday as they tried to march toward the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, while thousands of others held peaceful demonstrations in other parts of the country.

Violence continues

Hundreds protest against film and U.S. in Pakistan By ADIL JAWAD and BASSEM MROUE Associated Press

KARACHI, Pakistan — Hundreds of Pakistanis protesting an anti-Islam film broke through a barricade near the U.S. Consulate in the southern city of Karachi on Sunday, sparking clashes with police in which one demonstrator was killed and more than a dozen injured. In a move that could escalate tensions around the Arab world, the leader of the Hezbollah militant group called for protests against the movie, saying protesters should not only ’express our anger’ at U.S. embassies but urge leaders to act. The film, which denigrates Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, has sparked violent protests in many Muslim countries in recent days, including one in Libya in which the U.S. ambassador was killed. The U.S. has responded by deploying additional military forces to increase security in certain hotspots. In a televised speech, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said the U.S. must be held accountable for the film, which was produced in the United States. The U.S. government has condemned the film. “The ones who should be held accountable and boycotted are those who support and protect the producers, namely the U.S. administration,” Nasrallah said. He called for protests today, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He urged protesters to call on their leaders to express their anger too. In Pakistan, police fired tear gas and

water cannons at the protesters in Karachi after they broke through the barricade and reached the outer wall of the U.S. Consulate. One protester was killed during the clash, said a spokesman for the Shiite Muslim group that organized the rally. All Americans who work at the consulate were safe, Rian Harris, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, said. Thousands more held peaceful demonstrations against the film in other parts of the country. The protests were set off by a film called “Innocence of Muslims,” which

portrays Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a child molester. Libya’s Interim President Mohammed el-Megarif said Sunday that the attackers who killed the U.S. ambassador in the country appeared to have spent months preparing and carefully choosing their date — the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He pointed to a second raid on a safe house. But the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, brushed aside his assessment, saying evidence gathered so far indicated it was a spontaneous reaction to the anti-Islam video and not a premeditated or coordinated strike.

WASHINGTON — So much for silence from telemarketers at the cherished dinner hour, or any other hour of the day. Complaints to the government are up sharply about unwanted phone solicitations, raising questions about how well the federal “do-not-call” registry is working. The biggest category of complaint: those annoying prerecorded pitches called robocalls that hawk everything from lower credit card interest rates to new windows for your home. Amid fanfare from consumer advocates, the federal do-not-call list was put in place nearly a decade ago as a tool to limit telemarketing sales calls to people who didn’t want to be bothered. The registry has more than 209 million phone numbers on it. That’s a significant chunk of the country, considering that there are about 84 million residential customers with traditional landline phones and plenty more people with cellphone numbers, which can also be placed on the list. Telemarketers are supposed to check the list at least every 31 days for numbers they can’t call. But some are calling anyway, and complaints about phone pitches are climbing even as the number of telemarketers checking the registry has dropped dramatically. Government figures show monthly robocall complaints have climbed from about 65,000 in October 2010 to more than 212,000 this April. More general complaints from people asking a telemarketer to stop calling them also rose during that period, from about 71,000 to 182,000. At the same time, fewer telemarketers are checking the FTC list to see which numbers are off limits. In 2007, more than 65,000 telemarketers checked the list. Last year, only about 34,000 did so. Despite those numbers, the FTC says the registry is doing an effective job fighting unwanted sales calls. “It’s absolutely working,” Lois Greisman, associate director of the agency’s marketing practices division, said in an interview with The Associated Press. But, she said, “the proliferation of robocalls creates a challenge for us.”

Chicago teachers to continue strike after shunning contract vote By TAMMY WEBBER Associated Press

CHICAGO — The Chicago teachers union decided Sunday to continue its weeklong strike, extending an acrimonious standoff with Mayor Rahm Emanuel over teacher evaluations and job security provisions central to the debate over the future of public education across the United States. Union delegates declined to formally vote on a proposed contract settlement worked out over the weekend with officials from the nation’s third largest school district. Schools will remain closed today. Union president Karen Lewis said

teachers want the opportunity to continue to discuss the offer that is on the table. “Our members are not happy,” Lewis said. “They want to know if there is anything more they can get.” She added: “They feel rushed.” She said the union’s delegates will meet again Tuesday, and the soonest classes are likely to resume is Wednesday. “We felt more comfortable being able to take back what’s on the table and let our constituents look at it and digest it. We can have a much better decision come Tuesday,” said Dean Refakes, a physical education teacher at Gompers

25 years, had instantly canceled classes for 350,000 students who just returned from summer vacation and forced tens of thousands of parents to find alternatives for idle children.

More than $140K sits in evidence rooms The (Sunbury) Daily Item

SUNBURY -- At least $140,000 in seized drug money sits in police department evidence rooms. Some of it has been there for more than 10 years. District Attorney Tony Rosini is responsible for taking the money through forfeiture proceedings and turning it over to the Northumberland-Montour Drug Task Force. At least two county commissioners and some police officers have complained that Rosini has been lax when it comes to handling these cases. Rosini, in turn, said forfei-

tures can be time-consuming, and the proceedings can’t begin until after a criminal case has ended with a conviction. The Northumberland-Montour Drug Task Force was set up by the late Carl Rice. It is the only multi-county task force in Pennsylvania. Rosini and Montour County District Attorney Rebecca Warren handle the funds that are seized in their respective counties. The process for gaining a court order for forfeiture requires a court filing. Documents must be submitted to the court,

and after a judge approves the documents, the money is released to the district attorney. The state Attorney General’s Office annually reviews all county task forces and forfeitures and spending. That office releases annual reports for each county, said Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman for the office. The reports do not reveal specific spending but categorize expenses under general headings such as confidential case expenditures. By law, county task forces do not have to reveal publicly how much they have in their coffers.

WORLD OPINION

End to Afghanistan war won’t be total victory

HE LENGTH OF the campaign in Afghanistan is a vivid measure of its cost. When British soldiers finally withdraw at the end of 2014, the fighting will have lasted for 13 years, making it the longest foreign conflict this country has waged since the days of Napoleon. After so much toil and sacrifice, the government owes it to the nation to acknowledge some harsh realities. No one doubts the achievement of our forces, along with their American and coalition allies. Until 2001, Afghanistan served as the global headquarters of al-Qaida and the location for training camps turning out thousands of terrorists. All that has come to an end. Our soldiers can take pride in their part in removing a threat to the security of the West. Along the way, they have underwritten the birth of an elect-

ed government in Kabul and allowed at least 3 million girls to return to the schools from which the Taliban excluded them. It should never be forgotten that fighters loyal to this vicious movement still burn down classrooms, and cast acid in the faces of girls who want nothing more than an education. That makes it harder still to acknowledge that there will be no outright military victory over the Taliban. The Prime Minister should start preparing the public for the unpalatable agreement that will have to be struck by 2014. The men we fought for 13 years are likely to have real political power. The best we can hope for is that Afghanistan will be governable, and that the country will no longer be a threat to the West. The Telegraph, London

Exiting Iran a bad move

HE DECISION TO sever diplomatic relations with Iran marks a retreat from the enlightened influence Canada can have in the world. Everything that Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has said about Iran is true. The country has, under its ruling mullahcracy, descended into something resembling a rogue state. But the government’s decision is still baffling. Baird did not reveal a specific incident, or threat, to explain the timing of the move, though he hinted that embassy officers could be in danger. If there were a specific threat, then a temporary closure of the embassy might be justified. But Canadian diplomats serve in dangerous

posts in many places, and Canada has gone much further than a temporary closing. It has expelled Iranian diplomats and ended diplomatic ties. Instead of sharing any threats, Baird provided a summary of Iran’s various international and domestic crimes and misdemeanors. Baird even mentioned the 1979 hostage-taking at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, which one might have thought was a very good argument against closing the embassy. Imagine if Ken Taylor and Canadian diplomats had been withdrawn during that tumultuous period, and were not there to help shield some American diplomats from the fanatics.

Put refugees in context

ALESTINIANS ARE the first people to come to mind when the word “refugee” is uttered in a Middle East context. And Palestinians have paid dearly to reinforce this misconception. Largely dispossessed by their fellow Arabs, Palestinians have lived as second-class citizens in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and elsewhere in the region. Palestinians’ dismal treatment by their Arab brethren is undoubtedly due in part to strongly held prejudices and exclusionary nationalist loyalties. But the perpetuation of the Palestinian “refugee” problem has also served as a means of un-

Constitution. Clearly, the Founding Fathers would have been skeptical, if not surprised, at the meshing of the concepts of the public and private sectors. Although many of our founders, such as Benjamin Franklin and John Hancock, ran businesses, and many such as Washington and Jefferson engaged in plantation-based commerce, there is little doubt that they perceived government as separate from business. Jefferson’s words in the Declaration of Independence reflected a philosophy of natural law in which rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness flowed from the “Creator.” None of those rights is inherent to businesses, which derive their rights from manmade statutes and corporate charters granted by the states. When James Madison and the other members of the Constitutional Convention presented their document based on political compromise, it contained a preamble setting out the purposes of our national government. Unlike those principles for governance, no business in America is tasked with providing national defense or ensuring domestic tranquility, and none sees itself as establishing justice, promoting the general welfare or securing the blessings of liberty to both current and future generations. Simply put, while the business of business is profit, the business of government is the people it serves and the rights they enjoy. These rights are not commodities that can be bought, sold or bartered. They are beyond monetary value and have been both obtained

No economic form is proscribed or mandated in the Constitution. Businesses are guided by the owners or directors, mostly in secret without input or dissent from those who are affected by their decisions, while our democracy is subject to often conflicting needs and demands, with decisions made by open majority vote. There are no separations of powers and certainly no judicial review. Over the years, not all businesses have been viewed with favor by either the populace or politicians. The most reviled enterprise in Colonial times was the British East India Tea Co. In the 19th century, President Andrew Jackson waged war on the Second Bank of the United States, and profiteers were loathed for their perfidious greed during the Civil War. By the beginning of the 20th century, Theodore Roosevelt saw the need for busting up large business trusts to ensure America’s advancement. To this day, public policy and private interests are often at odds. It might be profitable for the private sector to do business with Iran or to sell weapons or other products to totalitarian regimes, but our government may consider an economic boycott or arms embargo of paramount national importance. This is not to suggest that government should not employ sound business practices in certain aspects of its function. Much was made of the failure of the Bush administration to obtain discounts from manufacturers for drugs

purchased under the expansion of Medicare. On the other hand, governmental administrative costs for Medicare and Social Security are far below those of most private businesses that deliver health care or retirement benefits. Last but not least, in the upcoming presidential election, we will be asked to decide whether a business background is a better qualifier for presidential leadership. No such requirement appears in the Constitution. However, history teaches us that success in business does not always correlate with success in governing. Both Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush, the nation’s first president with a master’s degree in business administration, had considerable track records of privatesector success, and Bush’s vice president, Dick Cheney, also boasted CEO credentials. Yet both Hoover and Bush presided over huge financial collapses of a systemic nature. Conversely, Harry Truman was a failed small businessman, who now is generally regarded as a president who ably dealt with some of the most monumental questions ever to face our nation’s chief executive. As we celebrate the 225th anniversary of our Constitution today, and as we all go about our private and family matters, let us not forget that our Pledge of Allegiance is still to our republic and its ideals of “liberty and justice for all.” David I. Fallk is a Scranton trial attorney and president of The Committee for Justice for All, Kingston.

‘2016: Obama’s America’ a must-see for all voters

COMMENTARY

In the upcoming presidential election, we will be asked to decide whether a business background is a better qualifier for presidential leadership. No such requirement appears in the Constitution.

n Sept. 9, my wife and I went to see “2016: Obama’s America” – a documentary film about President Obama. Sad to say, there were only 11 people for the 4:45 p.m. showing. If you already know you will not vote for Obama, you might question the point of seeing the film. If you support Obama, you might feel the movie is just more tea party propaganda. No matter how you might feel toward Obama, everyone really needs to see “2016” and get a better understanding of this man’s background, past relationships and his ideology. One of my strongest reactions was the fact that we hear little or nothing in the local and national media about the information disclosed in this film. My parents were lifelong Democrats who experienced the Great Depression firsthand. My

mother adored Bill Clinton. If they were alive today, I don’t think they would recognize the political party they were loyal to all their lives. My father, son of Czech immigrants, loved America. I doubt that he would have supported Obama’s vision for this country. Obama promised he would change America. See the film “2016,” learn who influenced his thinking and decide if you agree with the president’s ideas for changing America.

Veterinary clinic showed compassion for kitten

riving on Wyoming Avenue in Kingston recently, I came across a kitten that had just been struck by a car; he was still alive. I took him to the Northeast Veterinary Referral Hospital. Unfortunately due to the trauma he suffered, he had to be euthanized. I express my thanks and gratitude to the staff and the veterinarian who tried to save him; their kindness to the kitten and me was so heartfelt. Their compassion was exemplary.

troops at the end of September. NATO and U.S. forces are working with the Afghan government to tighten vetting procedures and increase security between the forces, but nothing has so far been able to stem the attacks on troops, which NATO frequently asserts are standing “shoulder by shoulder.” The airstrike that killed the eight women and girls, meanwhile, drew an apology from the U.S.-led coalition, condemnation from Afghan President Hamid Karzai and cries of “Death to America!” from villagers who retrieved the bodies. The insider attacks began Friday night, when 15 insurgents disguised in U.S. army uniforms killed two Marines, wounded nine other people and destroyed six Harrier fighter jets at a major U.S. base in the south, military officials said. On Saturday, a gunman in the uniform of a governmentbacked militia force shot dead two British soldiers in Helmand district in the southwest. On Sunday, an Afghan police officer turned his gun on NATO troops at a remote checkpoint in the southern province of Zabul, killing four American service members, according to Afghan and international officials. “It was my understanding that it was a checkpoint,” said Jamie Graybeal, a spokesman for international military in Afghanistan. One police officer was killed in the clash with NATO troops, he said. Other officers at the site fled; it was unclear if they were involved in the attack or not. Two international troops were wounded and were receiving treatment, Graybeal said. He did not say how serious the in-

International forces often work with Afghan police to man checkpoints as part of the effort to train and mentor the Afghan forces so that they can eventually operate on their own.

battle, or were somehow forced into attacking the American troops by the insurgents, Gilani said. “The checkpoint was attacked last night. Then the police started fighting with the Americans. Whether they attacked the Americans willingly we don’t know,” Gilani said. He said all four of the dead were American, as did a U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity because the information had not been officially released. The latest deaths make at least 247 American troops killed in Afghanistan so far this year. Nearly 2,000 American troops have been killed in the conflict

since the 2001 invasion. Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said the police who attacked were not affiliated with the Taliban insurgency. “But they are Afghans and they know that Americans are our enemy,” Ahmadi told The Associated Press in an emailed statement. He said the police who fled have joined up with the insurgency. The coalition said in a statement that they were investigating what happened. In the airstrike in Laghman province, Afghan officials said NATO planes killed eight women and girls who had gone out before dawn to gather firewood.

The International Security Assistance Force, as the U.S.-led coalition is known, acknowledged that civilians had been killed and expressed its regret over the airstrike. It insisted known insurgents had been the target. “ISAF takes full responsibility for this tragedy,” a statement said Villagers from a remote part of Laghman’s Alingar district drove the bodies, covered in white blankets, to the provincial capital, Mehterlam. “They were shouting ‘Death to America!’ They were condemning the attack,” said Laghman provincial government spokesman Sarhadi Zewak.

Erik, 44, and Tiffany, 43, met later in life, each divorced with a child. He grew up in southern Florida and Georgia, and she had returned to Conyngham after 20 years away for college and business executive positions. He proposed in June 2010, five weeks after returning from his second tour in Iraq and seven months before his mobilization for Afghanistan. They had ducked into a jewelry store for refuge during an intense storm while vacationing in the Cayman Islands. He coaxed her to try on a ring and dropped to one knee, asking her to marry him on the spot. Erik questioned if she wanted to wait to marry, warning his deployment would be stressful. “He was my soul mate, my husband in my heart, and I wanted it to be official, regardless of how long or short our marriage might last,” she said. They married November 2010 and “packed a lot of living in as husband and wife” until he left to prepare for his mission in January 2011. Tiffany, an admitted control freak, voraciously read up on her husband’s temporary home, learning the geography of the region and nuances of

Even on the rare nights she crashed from emotional exhaustion, she’d still wake up in the middle of the night, heart pounding and drenched in sweat,

knowing it was morning in Afghanistan. Tiffany snapped into cheeriness when Erik’s schedule allowed him to email, call or talk through videoconference programs, which could be every few days or weeks. “It was altogether possible that each call, each videoconference, each email was the last I’d receive,” she wrote in the book. All communications were on

Seven injured females were also brought to area hospitals for treatment, some of them as young as 10 years old, said provincial health director Latif Qayumi. NATO forces spokesman Capt. Dan Einert said that the strike killed as many as 45 insurgents, but may have also killed five to eight Afghan civilians. “Protecting Afghan lives is the cornerstone of our mission and it saddens us when we learn that our action might have unintentionally harmed civilians,” said Graybeal said. Afghan President Hamid Karzai “strongly condemns the airstrike by NATO forces which resulted in the deaths of eight women,” a statement from his office said. It said the Afghan government was also investigating. The attacks come amid an international uproar about an Internet video mocking the Prophet Muhammad that many fear could further aggravate AfghanU.S. relations. The video has sparked protests throughout the Muslim world and the Afghan government blocked the YouTube site that hosts the video and its parent company, Google Inc., over the weekend in a move to prevent violent protests. The Taliban claimed that Friday’s assault on Camp Bastion was revenge for the video insulting Prophet Muhammad, but protests in Afghanistan have so far remained peaceful. In the capital on Sunday, several hundred university students chanted “Death to America!” and “Long life to Islam!” over several hours to protest the video. Riot police cordoned off the area and the protest ended without incident in the early afternoon. A smaller protest went forward in the western city of Herat. his timetable, not hers, and he couldn’t share most of what was happening for security purposes. He’d tell her, “This one’s going to be hairy,” before the most dangerous missions, code that it may be the last time they’d ever talk again. She’d pleasantly tell him her life has been better with him in it and wish him safety. “I’d fall to pieces the second we’d get off,” she said. In September 2011, Erik contacted her through video to say he’ll be bringing something purple home with him, referring to The Purple Heart. A rocket landed at his outpost and exploded, piercing him with shrapnel and shooting him onto a razor wire perimeter fence. It took about an hour to cut him out of the mangled heap, and he suffered internal injuries. This was Erik’s fifth serious combat hit, and he is recovering from injuries at a military base near Washington, D.C., where he is in the Wounded Warrior Program and completing the military medical retirement process. Tiffany said he is supportive of her book, which retails at $16.95 and is available at amazon.com and soon at major bookstores. Looking back, Tiffany believes relinquishing control is the most important survival skill for a military wife. “All the care packages in the world and calls from home aren’t going to change whether your loved one steps to the right or steps to the left and there’s an IED or a sniper waiting,” she said.

Perfect Philly making its point again A late rally gives the Eagles a 2-0 start to the season after consecutive one-point wins.

By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

PHILADELPHIA -- It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big problem for the Philadelphia Eagles standing up to the bullying tactics of the Baltimore Ravens. The bigger concern was the Eagles once again were fighting themselves. Somehow, the Eagles overcame both challenges Sunday, and once again turned a turnover-filled game into late-game triumph when Michael Vickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1yard touchdown dive with just under two minutes to play produced a remarkable 24-23 victory over Baltimore. "It just shows how good we can be," Vick said. The Eagles could be even better if they could hang onto the ball, but for the second straight week they proved error-prone. Vick threw two interceptions, the Eagles fumbled away the ball twice more and, as a result, they were forced to rally back from a 17-7 halftime deficit. "Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see how it looks like when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the turn-

overs," said Eagles coach Andy Reid, whose team also beat the Cleveland Browns by a point in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season opener despite Vickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four interceptions and a fumble in the running game. "We battled through it." "Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to brag about," said Eagles running back LeSean McCoy, who lost his second fumble in as many weeks. "I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have turnovers, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still going to win.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The Eagles werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones making mistakes. On Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning touchdown drive Sunday, a pass from Vick was initially ruled a fumble by the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement officials before a replay review correctly changed the call to an incomplete pass. The officials also had the option to call intentional grounding on the play, since Vick was in PETE G.

Roethlisberger shines as Steelers shred Jets 27-10 Quarterback was on target while piloting Pittsburgh to a victory in its home opener.

By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; So much for those high-powered New York Jets. Or those creaky Pittsburgh Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger passed for 275 yards and two touchdowns and the Steelers smothered the

lifeless Jets in the second half of a 27-10 victory on Sunday. Roethlisberger completed 24 of 31 passes. He hit Heath Miller for a 1-yard score to give the Steelers (1-1) the lead late in the first half, then found Mike Wallace for a 37-yard strike early in the third quarter to break the game open. Isaac Redman added a late 2yard touchdown run for Pittsburgh, which had little trouble avoiding its first 0-2 start in a decade.

from reaching 100 for the second straight season. Wesley Wright (2-2) pitched a scoreless seventh to pick up the win. Wilton Lopez got the last five outs for his sixth save. Phillies starter Roy Halladay gave up three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts in six innings, remaining two wins shy of 200 for his career. Jordan Lyles gave up four runs on five hits with four walks and six strikeouts in five innings for Houston. Lyles has gone longer than five innings just once in his last six starts. Philadelphia scored three runs in the fifth to take a 4-2 lead.

The Jets (1-1) did little offensively after a pair of early scoring drives. Mark Sanchez passed for 138 yards and a touchdown, but New York hardly looked like the offensive juggernaut that piled up points in a 48-28 openingweek blowout win over Buffalo. Tim Tebow appeared on just one drive early in the second half for the Jets, running for 22 yards on his first carry. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly enough against a defense that did just fine without injured stars James Harrison and Troy PolaThe New York Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Russell Martin watches his threerun home run in the third inning Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium.

malu. Keeping the New York offense off the field for long stretches certainly helped. So did a handful of dropped passes by Jets receivers and missed tackles. With Roethlisberger expertly running new offensive coordinator Todd Haleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s versatile system, he picked apart a Jets secondary that looked exposed without injured star cornerback Darrelle Revis. Roethlisberger completed passes to 10 different receivers as Pittsburgh convert-

ed 8 of 15 third downs and held the ball for more than 36 minutes. The Steelers led 13-10 early in the third quarter when Roethlisberger needed just five plays to lead them 59 yards. Facing thirdand-16 at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37, Roethlisberger stepped up in the pocket and heaved it to Wallace. The Pro Bowl wide receiver let Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie fly by, then snatched the ball out of the air while keeping both feet in bounds.

There was no celebration for his third touchdown of the game. Allen Robinson simply tossed the ball to the official and trotted off to the sideline. So his teammates did the cheering for him. And one of the first people to greet him when he came off the field was fellow wide receiver Eugene Lewis. The two players are listed 1-2 on the depth chart for Penn State at split end. But while Robinson finds himself among the national receiving leaders, Lewis finds himself likely headed for a redshirt season. Two players at opposite extremes. But both equally important to the Nittany Lions in this time of turmoil. Because both will undoubtedly be the targets of other schools this offseason as the NCAA sanctions allow Penn State players to transfer without penalty until preseason camp begins next August. For their part, both Robinson and Lewis have remained firmly committed to Penn State throughout the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Definitely. This was the place I wanted to be even when the sanctions hit,â&#x20AC;? said Robinson, who ranks seventh or better in the country in catches (24), yards (322) and touchdowns (4). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just going through so much with these guys, building so much chemistry with the guys on the team, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like a brotherhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple of people left. But at the end of the day, I want to lead my brothers.â&#x20AC;? Per Penn State policy, true freshmen like Lewis are not typically made available for interviews. After Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win, assistant head coach Stan Hixon went into detail about Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fuSee PSU, Page 4B

Cleanup man Matt Joyce also was tossed as Tampa Bay finished 1-5 on its visit to Yankee Stadium and Camden Yards. Ben Zobrist homered and doubled for Tampa Bay.

Winners come on strong over last mile of Lupus Loop 5K at Scranton’s Nay Aug Park. By ROBERT MINER For The Times Leader

SCRANTON – Joe Cardillo and Ellen Krantz-Buskovitz went into Sunday’s Lupus Loop 5K Run at Nay Aug Park with basically the same strategy – run conservatively early and hammer the course late. Their strategies worked. And they both scored wins. Cardillo, 53, of Dunmore, broke the tape in 17 minutes and 26 seconds. He outran second-place finisher, Matt DeStefano, 15, of Scranton, by 1:52. “I laid back over the first mile,” said Cardillo, who ran cross country and track for Dunmore High School and East Stroudsburg University in the 1980s. “After the first mile, I picked it up a bit and started pulling away.” The runner he pulled away from was DeStefano, who was running a close second up to that point. DeStefano runs cross country and plays baseball (pitcher, catcher and out-

a throw that didn’t reach the line of scrimmage and didn’t appear to be directed toward an eligible target. But that penalty possibility was never discussed, as the officials set the ball at the 1-yard line and announced it was fourth down -- when it was really thirdand-goal. "Listen, they’re trying to do their job to the best of their ability, put into this situation," Reid said of the officials. No matter. On the next play, Vick knifed across the goal line from a yard out with 1:55 to play and Alex Henery kicked the winning PAT. That decided a game that was decisively physical from the start. A few fights broke out throughout the day, starting with a firstquarter shoving match between Eagles safety Kurt Coleman and

ture with the team. Hixon, who works directly with the wide receivers, praised Lewis’ natural ability. It’s the little details as a receiver that the coaches want him to refine after playing quarterback in his last two seasons at Wyoming Valley West. “Yeah, we’d like to (redshirt him),” Hixon said. “Because he’s going to be really, really good. … He’s just learning how to run routes. You can see he’s got the potential to be a really good player. He’s probably the best athlete we have at that position. “Allen, he can run and jump high. But Geno, he’s pretty special. He’s just got to get his basic

fielder) for Scranton High School. He is a sophomore. Once Cardillo opened up a lead, he settled into a nice, even pace the rest of the way. Cardillo said that he likes to run in races that support good causes. “This is what you do it for,” Cardillo said. “It’s for a great cause. The event was well organized. The traffic control was great. And the weather was great, too.” Krantz-Buskovitz, 39, of Mayfield, hadn’t raced in a 5K for more than a year and wondered just how well she would do. No problem. She won the female division with an eighth-place overall finish in 19:56, outrunning second-place (ninth-place overall) finisher, Lindsay Weidow Holland, 29, of Scranton, by 19 seconds. “My plan, going into the race, was to take it easy at the start and pick it up over the final mile,” said Krantz-Buskovitz, who actually took charge of the female division very early in the race despite running conservatively. “The plan worked.” Krantz-Buskovitz -- who only

started running five years ago -said she wanted to run the race because it was raising money to fight lupus. Sarah Piccini, events coordinator of the Pocono/Northeast Branch of the Lupus Foundation of Pennsylvania, said that proceeds from this year’s race, when the final count is in, are expected to reach between $10,000 and $15,000. Lupus is a disease in which a person’s autoimmune system begins to attack healthy tissues and sometimes vital organs. All of the money raised at the Lupus Loop races stay in the area and is used for research and local patient services. Jillian Mishko, a 25-year-old Dickson City woman (originally from Blakely) who is a grad student at the University of Scranton, was diagnosed with lupus 10 years ago. In honor of her 10th anniversary of battling lupus and all its side effects, 70 people (friends, friends of friends, family and some undergrads from the University of Scranton) participated in the walk as a tribute to her. Her best friend came all the way from Philadelphia and brought a handful of friends with her.

Ravens receiver Anquan Bolden, and a later skirmish involving Coleman and Ravens running back Ray Rice. "It came quick," Coleman said of the emotional outbursts. "The Baltimore Ravens want to see who’s intimidated by them. They try to intimidate you. That’s one of their strategies, to get you out of your game." For awhile, it appeared to be working. After Eagles defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins recovered a fumble deep in Ravens territory, McCoy punched it in for the game’s first points. But Baltimore quickly punched back. Vonta Leach scored on a 5-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, Jacoby Jones snagged Joe Flacco’s 21-yard touchdown dart in the second and for good measure, Justin Tucker tied a Ravens long-distance record by drilling a 56-yard field goal to put the Eagles in a 17-7 hole a second before halftime. "We were angry at ourselves,"

Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson said, "and said to each other that in the second half, it would be totally different." It was. Middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans had an interception on Baltimore’s first possession of the second half and Vick cashed it in by connecting with Jeremy Maclin on a 23-yard touchdown strike. Vick followed that by directing a 60-yard scoring drive that ended when Henery’s 23-yard field goal tied the game at 17. But Baltimore wasn’t quite done. Tucker launched a 51-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter and converted a 48-yarder with 4:43 remaining for a 23-17 Ravens lead. "He kicked great, did a nice job," Ravens coach -- and former Eagles assistant -- John Harbaugh said. Missing two starting lineman and Maclin -- who all suffered injuries during the game -- the Ea-

gles offense marched 80 yards against Baltimore’s vaunted defense for the winning score. Vick sparked the drive -- fueled by a no-huddle look the Eagles sprung on the Ravens -- by first finding Jackson with a 14-yard pass. Then Vick really got hot, hitting tight end Brett Celek with throws of 24 and 13 yards, and setting up his winning run with a 19-yard strike to Clay Harbor. "The two-minute (offense) gives you a rhythm, it just kind of negates what the defense can do," Vick said. "It’s great to go nohuddle. It just pushes the pace. Nobody ever saw us do it before. It’s something we added into our arsenal." "We’re 2-0," Ryans said. "We’re excited about it and we’re happy about it. A win is a win. Anytime you can get one, no matter how you get it, it counts as a W. It’s not perfect." But the record is. "The best game," Eagles cornerback Dominique RodgersCromartie said, "is yet to come."

fundamentals (down) -- his route-running, reading coverages, that type of thing.” Of course, patience is not always the easiest thing to get across to an 18-year-old accustomed to being the best player on the field in high school. “Yes, but I tell them that come January, they’re going to be glad they did (redshirt),” Hixon said. “What’s hard right now is getting them to see the big picture -- that they’ll be a much better player in their fourth, fifth year than, obviously, as a freshman playing only limited snaps. “And honestly, at times, it’s been hard to take Allen out of the game because he’s been so productive.” Though the team’s preference is to redshirt Lewis, it’s not something set in stone. Lewis suits up for each game and on

Saturday went through warmups with the wide receivers and the kick returners. The Lions can choose to put him in a game at any time if needed. If he were to play for any amount of time, he could not be redshirted, thus using up a year of his eligibility. Lewis is one of three true freshman receivers on track for a redshirt, joining Malik Golden and Jonathan Warner. Classmate Trevor Williams has seen the field and made his first career catch on Saturday. The midweek departure of starting wideout Shawney Kersey did not affect those plans. Junior Brandon Moseby-Felder took Kersey’s spot in the lineup with Williams, Matt Zanellato and Christian Kuntz also seeing more snaps. “We don’t want to play them if they’re only going to play five

plays, four plays, three plays (a game),” Hixon said of the rookies. “That’s really tough.” That’s essentially what happened with Robinson last season. Though he did see the field as a true freshman, he played only a handful of snaps each week and finished the year with three catches. Robinson won’t be able to play in a bowl game while at Penn State but said he has other priorities -- namely developing into an NFL receiver under Hixon and head coach Bill O’Brien. “It’s not really about playing in the Big Ten championship. Or playing in a bowl game,” Robinson said. “I mean, a lot of the guys who transfer, they might not even make it to a bowl game. I think it’s just about playing for a great staff and a great university.”

JOLIET, Ill. — Brad Keselowski raced to an impressive victory in the opening race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, outdueling five-time champion Jimmie Johnson at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday. Keselowski got ahead of Johnson after a crucial pit cycle with about 35 laps remaining and led the final 26 laps in the 400-mile race, holding on comfortably from there for his first victory in a Chase race. He also takes over the points lead. Kasey Kahne was third. All 12 of the Chase drivers finished in the top 18, with the exception of Jeff Gordon, who went into the wall with about 80 laps remaining. Gordon barely qualified for the Chase to begin with, and his championship hopes are already in serious jeopardy after his 35th-

place showing Sunday. It’s Keselowski’s fourth victory of the season. He leads Johnson by three Keselowski points — and gave Penske Racing a reason to feel good after Will Power’s failed bid for the IndyCar championship Saturday night in California. Kyle Busch finished fourth, the best performance of any driver not in the Chase. Among other Chase qualifiers, defending champion Tony Stewart was sixth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was eighth, Martin Truex Jr. was ninth and Clint Bowyer was 10th. Kevin Harvick finished 12th, one spot ahead of Greg Biffle. Denny Hamlin, the top seed coming in, fell all the way to 16th in the race while low on fuel at the end, and Matt Kenseth finished 18th. Keselowski won by 3.171 seconds in his No. 2 Dodge.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Familiar foes Alabama, LSU sit atop AP poll

The teams were 1-2 for most of last season before meeting in BCS championship game. By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

Here we go again. Alabama and LSU are Nos. 1 and 2. It’s almost as if last season never ended. The Crimson Tide and Tigers held the top two spots for eight weeks in 2011 before finally playing a rematch of a regular-season game for the BCS title, which Alabama won. The difference this year is Alabama is No. 1 and LSU is No. 2, instead of vice versa. Blame Southern California for the latest Southeastern Conference takeover. USC was preseason No. 1 in a close vote and slipped to No. 2 after Alabama throttled Michigan to start the season. Then on Saturday night, Stanford handed the Trojans their first loss, 21-14 on the Farm. So we’re back where we were last season, waiting for Alabama

YANKS Continued from Page 1B

Hiroki Kuroda (14-10) struck out 10 in six innings and beat Tampa Bay for the second time this month. Rafael Soriano, the Yankees’ fifth pitcher, earned his 40th save in 43 chances. Matt Moore (10-11) lost his fourth straight start. Martin’s opposite-field shot to right field came during a crazy five-run third. The inning included an errant pickoff throw, a wild pitch, three walks, a pair of steals, Nick Swisher’s first sacrifice bunt of the season, warnings to both benches and Maddon’s ejection. Derek Jeter put the Yankees ahead with an RBI single, moments after playfully pointing his bat toward a young fan who was taking his picture while he was on deck. Alex Rodriguez clapped his hands after singling through the drawn-in infield for a 2-0 lead.

and LSU to play in the first weekend of November, and wondering if either will be upset along the way. It doesn’t seem likely. No. 9 Stanford shot up 12 spots after beating USC for the fourth straight season, and No. 11 Notre Dame rose nine places after dominating Michigan State 20-3 in East Lansing, Mich. The Cardinal are proving there is life and prosperity after Andrew Luck. The assumption was when the two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up moved on to the NFL, Stanford would slip back into the Pac-12 pack. Tough and physical are now a way to describe Notre Dame — for the first time in a long while. Behind linebacker Manti Te’o and defensive tackle Stephon Tuitt, the Irish smothered the Spartans, allowing 237 total yards, only 50 on the ground. The Irish and Cardinal meet in South Bend, Ind., on Oct. 13.

Martin made it 5-0 with his 17th homer. Two batters later, Moore threw a 95 mph fastball behind the helmet of Curtis Granderson and plate umpire Paul Emmel immediately warned each side against any trouble. Maddon jawed from the dugout, got tossed and came out for a protracted discussion with Emmel. Granderson crouched outside the batter’s box during the dispute, watching the antics.

New York Giants linebacker Michael Boley, right, celebrates with teammate Kenny Phillips, center, as Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Vincent Jackson (83) reacts after Boley intercepted a pass to end their game Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J. The Giants won 41-34.

Giants ground down Bucs in wild shootout EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Eli Manning came up with a near-record performance in throwing for 510 yards, and Andre Brown scored on a 2-yard run with 31 seconds left to lift the New York Giants to a wild 41-34 victory Sunday over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Manning’s yardage total was the second most for a Giants quarterback, and tied for the eighth highest in NFL history. He threw three first-half interceptions, and came back with a monster 295 yards passing in the second, finishing 3 yards short of Phil Simms’ team record. The Bucs (1-1) led by 11 points before the Super Bowl champions came back and avoided an 0-2 start. Manning threw touchdowns of 23 yards to Hakeem Nicks, 80 to Victor Cruz and 33 to Martellus Bennett with 3:59 to play to give New York a 34-27 lead. Cruz finished with 11 catches for 179 yards, both career highs, while Nicks had 10 catches for 199 yards, with the yardage a personal best. Only the 1951 Rams had a 500-yard passer and two 150-yard receivers in the same game. Josh Freeman tied the game at 34-all with a 41-yard pass to Mike Williams, but Manning drove New York 80 yards in four plays to win it. 49ers 27, Lions 19 SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco’s stingy defense denied Matthew Stafford another milestone, Vernon Davis caught touchdown passes of 21 and 23 yards from Alex Smith, and the 49ers beat Detroit. Smith completed 20 of 31 throws for 226 yards and extended his franchise-record streak of passes without an interception to 216, leading the NFC West favorite Niners (2-0) to their ninth straight win in the series. Smith took a hard hand to the helmet from John Wendling late and bloodied his nose. Cardinals 20, Patriots 18 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Backup quarterback Kevin Kolb threw for one touchdown and ran for another, Stephen Gostkowski missed a potential winning field goal in the final seconds, and Arizona moved to 2-0. The Patriots took over when Vince Wilfork recovered a fumble at the Cardinals 30 with 1:01 left. A 30-yard run into the end zone by Danny Woodhead was nullified by a holding penalty against Rob Gronkowski. New England then moved to the 24 before Tom Brady spiked the ball to stop the clock with 6 seconds left, but Gostkowski sent a 42-yard try wide to the left after hitting four earlier field goals. Panthers 35, Saints 27 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cam Newton threw for 253 yards and ran for a career-high 71 yards to hand New Orleans its first 0-2 start since 2007. One week after tying a franchise low with 10 yards rushing in a loss to Tampa Bay, the Panthers ran for 219 yards and Newton, DeAngelo Williams and Mike Tolbert all scored on short touchdown runs. Steve Smith overcame a sore knee to finish with 104 yards receiving

The Associated Press

— the 39th 100-yard receiving game of his career — and Jonathan Stewart hauled in a 17-yard touchdown reception for the Panthers (1-1). Colts 23, Vikings 20 INDIANAPOLIS — Adam Vinatieri made a 53-yard field goal with 8 seconds left to give Andrew Luck his first NFL victory. Minnesota (1-1) rallied from a two-touchdown deficit in the final 51⁄2 minutes and tied the score on a 6-yard TD pass from Christian Ponder to Kyle Rudolph with 31 seconds left. Dolphins 35, Raiders 13 MIAMI — Reggie Bush ran for 172 yards and two touchdowns, and Miami won a home opener for the first time since 2005. Ryan Tannehill threw his first NFL touchdown pass, ran for another and avoided any turnovers after tossing three interceptions in his pro debut a week earlier.

Rams 31, Redskins 28 ST. LOUIS — Sam Bradford threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns and Danny Amendola caught 15 passes for 160 yards in rallying St. Louis Robert Griffin III led the Redskins (1-1) to a 21-6 lead, but the Rams (1-1) came back thanks to the pass-catching of Amendola. The receiver tied an NFL record 12 first-half receptions, and caught a 1-yard TD pass to cut the lead to 21-13 at the half. Seahawks 27, Cowboys 7 SEATTLE — Marshawn Lynch ran for 122 yards and a 3-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and Seattle’s special teams came up with two huge first-quarter plays that led to 10 points. Michael Robinson forced Felix Jones to fumble on the opening kickoff that led to a short field goal, and Malcolm Smith blocked Chris Jones’ punt which Jeron Johnson returned for a touchdown to give Seattle (1-1) a 10-0 lead in less than 5 minutes. Chargers 38, Titans 10 SAN DIEGO — Tight end Dante Rosario had three touchdown catches for the first time in his NFL career and San Diego’s defense harassed Jake Locker all day. Before the game, the Chargers (2-0) retired Junior Seau’s No. 55. Seau, the hard-hitting, firstpumping leader of the Chargers for 13 seasons, committed suicide May 2. Bengals 34, Browns 27 CINCINNATI — Adam “Pacman” Jones returned Cleveland’s first punt 81 yards for a touchdown, and Andy Dalton matched his career high with three touchdown passes. Bills 35, Chiefs 17 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — C.J. Spiller scored twice and had 123 yards rushing in sparking Buffalo. Texans 27, Jaguars 7 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Arian Foster ran for 110 yards and a touchdown, Ben Tate added 74 yards and two scores and Houston dominated from the start.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2012 PAGE 5C

Talented tradesmen are pivotal to keeping our country up and running Dear Abby: America’s tradesmen — plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics, roofers, masons and more — get very little respect. In fact, the only time these skilled professionals get our attention is when we have an emergency. This lack of regard is leading our nation down an unfortunate pathway, as fewer and fewer young people pursue jobs in these professions. If we don’t change our attitude about the worth of tradesmen, who will build our homes and schools, repair our cars, keep our water flowing and our power turned on? On Sept. 21, we have a chance to thank a tradesman. The date has been

DEAR ABBY ADVICE earmarked as National Tradesmen Day. Everyone can participate: Drop a box of doughnuts at the job site near your home. Call your plumber and say, “Thank you for your help over the years.” Invite a skilled tradesman to speak at your child’s school. The ways to honor them are limitless. Abby, would you help to get the word out? — Jeff D. in Greenville, S.C. Dear Jeff: I’m pleased to help because I agree with your message. Tradespeople don’t often receive the respect and gratitude they deserve.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Everyone needs to know his or her efforts are valued and appreciated, and failure to extend this courtesy may affect our quality of life in the coming decades. In years past, skilled trades were handed down with pride from one generation to the next. However, as baby boomers have been retiring, fewer young people have been stepping forward to take their place. In fact, according to a recent talent shortage survey by ManpowerGroup, more jobs for skilled tradesmen go unfilled than any other category of employment. Why? Because there aren’t enough trained replacements to fill openings for electricians, welders, mechanics, plumbers, roofers and more. Part of the reason may be our em-

CRYPTOQUOTE

phasis on pursuing advanced college degrees for almost everyone. But another may be the lack of respect that has been shown for these vital occupations. The result has been, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that for every three tradesmen who retire, only one person is stepping up to fill the gap. I hear from many readers whose young adult children are unable to find work. Talk with them about this. People in the trades can earn good money. Visit a local community college with your son or daughter and learn more about classes and certifications available for skilled trades. And please, show tradespeople how much their contributions are valued. Call your favorite handyman, plumber and HVAC technician not

to once again scream for help, but to express your appreciation. Treat them to a box of your special home-baked cookies or brownies, refer them to your friends and family so they can get additional business, write to your local newspapers, websites or blogs expressing your appreciation. Visit nationaltradesmenday.com, and please remember, these hardworking individuals need to know that although National Tradesmen Day is Friday, we are grateful for their efforts the other 364 days a year, too. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are a master persuader now and could do any number of things with your influence. You’ll be extra careful to steer people in the direction of their own best interests, and not just your own. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are polite without being fake, persistent without being overbearing. The qualities you exhibit let others know that you are not to be trifled with. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll make people smile, and they will want to do business with you not because they think it will be fun and games, but because they think you’ll “get” them enough to make them happy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may still be trying to figure out why you are doing something, and the answer doesn’t come readily. Tomorrow will shed fresh daylight on the matter. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The ghosts come knocking long before Halloween. They are friendly and don’t want candy. They remind you of a happy part of your past, a time that still adds color to your days. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are the artist in your life. At some point, the artist must abandon notions of “good” and “bad” and decide not to have a preference between the two. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s amazing how many different ways you can show the world what an exceptional human being you are. You’ll sense where your talents can turn a messy situation into a winning enterprise.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You would like to be good at something that presently brings up feelings of inadequacy. There is hope for you in this matter. Your humility and willingness to learn will make all things possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Cluttered spaces make for cluttered minds. The time you spend organizing and clearing space will align you with the powers of productivity and clarity. Even if it takes all day, it will be worth it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t require special attention in order to feel good about what you’re doing. And yet, there’s something about getting public recognition that makes you very hopeful about the next phase of your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You suspect you have a hidden talent that has yet to reveal itself. Today brings a tug on something inside you, a leaning toward the very action that highlights the signs of this talent. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll experience a key moment of interaction. The most important thing about your conversation will be your ability to listen well and thoroughly. Later, you’ll be happy you were able to do this. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 17). Give sweet support and tough love alternately. You’ll inspire those you love (including yourself) to greatness. You’ll be on the hot list socially from November through January, and the attention is wonderful. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 15, 2, 33 and 1.
