HARDINGAt 51, StevenLloydis a valley native
and graduate of Wyoming Area High School who
has gone fromreal estate to managing a family golf
course even though he doesnt play much of a
game himself, according to his father.
On Monday, Lloyd officially became something
else: Winner of the largest Pennsylvania Lottery
prize ever awardedinLuzerne County, worth$37.6
million when all accounts were settled.
Hes a reallygoodboy, a goodman, the winners
father, Thomas Lloyd, said Monday after his sons
name was revealed during a press conference in
Middletown. Were really happy for him. It
couldnt be given to a nicer man.
Thomas Lloyd, also a valley native and lifelong
resident, said his son had worked in real estate
years ago and held other jobs before deciding to
manage the Applewood Golf Course near Harding,
which the elder Lloyd owns.
Asked if his son was good on the links, Thomas
Lloyd laughed. Hes not a big golfer, he said.
Steven Lloyd graduated from Wyoming Area in
1978 and went on to college, though his father
couldnt recall which one. He described his son as
a goodman who is well known thanks inpart 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.

Though all 253 state legisla-
tors will begin receiving bigger
paychecks next month, not all of
them will pocket the additional
$2,403 in annual pay. In fact, not
one member of the Luzerne
County delega-
tion says he or
she will keep a
dime of the
raise.
By law, the
salary increase
based on infla-
tion must be in-
cluded in legis-
lators pay-
checks, but
once they get
the moneytheycanopt tokeepit,
write a check to have it deposited
back in the states general fund or
make donations to local charities
of their choosing. In recent years,
the latter two options have been
the preferred choices of all of the
members of the Luzerne County
legislative delegation and that
wont change this year.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission
charged seven men from Louisiana and Ar-
kansas with illegally killing deer three days
before the start of the lawful hunting season.
The men are each charged with multiple
counts of unlawful killing/taking of big
game in the area of Springville Township on
the border of Wyoming and Susquehanna
counties, said Tim Conway, spokesman for
the Game Commission.
Conway said the men are all employed by
a company that is installing a natural gas
pipeline in the area.
Conway did not know the name of the
firm. He could not provide further details of
the arrests as the arresting officer was not

The following defendants were charged:
James Christopher Lowe, Steve Larry Ware,
Weldon James Thibodeaux, Jonathan Ervin
Aden, Robert Shaun Sauls, Kenneth Preston

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, D-
Scranton, said Monday.
With President Obama set to
visit Scranton on Wednesday to
make a pitch for the proposal,
Casey formally unveiled legisla-
tion seeking to extend the cur-
rent one-year payroll tax cut ex-
piring 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 Mon-
day to the public.
Casey spoke to reporters Mon-
day during a conference call,
alongwithSenate Majority Lead-
er 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 lat-
er this week.
Casey and other Senate Demo-
crats want to pay for the about
$250 billion cost of the tempora-
ry 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 per-
cent for next year, which Casey
said would save an average fam-
ily 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 mil-
lion of a payroll and would en-
courage more hiring.
Casey released a county-by-
county list of
how the ex-
panded tax cut
for 2012 would
impact Penn-
sylvania.
For instance,
in Luzerne
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
Moodys Analytics as an example
of the economists who say ex-
tendingthe payroll taxcut is vital
to efforts to boost the economy.
Zandi has estimated that extend-
ing the payroll tax cut could cre-
ate 750,000 jobs, Casey said.
The payroll tax cut has a sub-
stantial impact for employers
and employees, Casey said. We
knowthis works. This is the right
thing to doand we have got to
do this by the end of the year.
Casey and his fellow Demo-
crats said they hope extending
the payroll tax cut will draw bi-
partisan support.
But the Senates top Republi-
can said Monday that it is a just a
temporary measure that wont
create many jobs or boost the
economy significantly, and
charged the surcharge on mil-
lionaires will hit job-creating
small businesses.
Any attempt to pass another
temporary stimulus funded by a
permanent tax hike on the very
people were counting on to cre-
ate the private-sector jobs we
need is purely political, and not
intended to do a thing to help the
economy, since we all know its
likely to fail with bipartisan op-
position, Senate Minority Lead-
er Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said
Monday on the Senate floor.
Some Republicans also ques-
tion 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 onthe retirement programs
long-term solvency.
Casey sees benefit in

proposal at his appearance in
Scranton on Wednesday.

Officials quiet on Carbon County death

LOS ANGELES Lawyers
representing convicted assassin
Sirhan Sirhan argue in newly fil-
ed 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. Kenne-
dy.
In the latest of many appeals
filed on behalf of Sirhan, the at-
torneys are seeking to overturn
his conviction. They repeated a
previous assertion and present-
ed reports from experts who
said Sirhan was programmed
through hypnosis to fire shots as
a diversion for the real killer.
Prosecutors had no comment,
saidLynda Gledhill, a spokeswo-
man for the California attorney
generals office, which is hand-
ling the appeal.
The lawyers, William F. Pep-
per and Laurie Dusek, also said
sophisticated audio tests recent-
ly 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
workingonhis ownnewanalysis
of the assassination.
Pepper and Dusek argue that
before Sirhans trial, someone
switched a bullet before it was
placed in evidence because the
bullet taken from Kennedys
neck did not match Sirhans gun.
The lawyers suggest a second
gun was involved in the assassi-
nation, but they do not know
who fired it.
Pepper said the new evidence
outlined in a 62-page federal
court brief filedinLos Angeles is
sufficient toproveSirhanis inno-
cent under the law.
They put fabricated evidence
into court before the judge and
jury Pepper told The Associat-
ed 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 An-
geles.
Whether it has any chance of
success is questionable, said
leading appellate lawyer Dennis
Fischer of Santa Monica.
Its a longshot in the longest
way, he said, but they certainly
are raising intriguing ques-
tions.
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 lookat cases inwhichgov-
ernmental misconduct is al-
leged, even if it is long after the
fact.
The current thinking by the
U.S. Supreme Court is these
things needtoend, saidFischer.
But he added in case with such
historical importance, No one
will ever be satisfied.
Sirhan, now 67, a Palestinian
immigrant, was deniedparoleaf-
ter a hearing last March where
he denied any memory of shoot-
ing Kennedy on June 5, 1968,
moments after he claimed victo-
ry in the California presidential
primary.
Parole officials said he doesnt
understand the enormity of his
crime that changed U.S. history.
Pepper and Dusek are the lat-
est attorneys to take up Sirhans
case after his conviction and ar-
gue on his behalf before parole
boards and courts.. All of his ap-
peals 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
Sirhans previous lawyer died.
At trial, Sirhan took the wit-
ness stand and said he had killed
Kennedy with 20 years of mal-
ice aforethought. He later re-
canted the confession. Prosecu-
tors introduced in evidence
handwritten diaries in which he
wrote: RFK must die.
Thelatest filingbyPepper and
Dusek relies heavily on a report
by audio analyst Philip Van
Praag who did tests on an audio
recording made by a news re-
porter 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 direc-
tions.
The lawyers also contend that
Sirhan did not have adequate as-
sistance of counsel at trial, not-
ing that his chief attorney, Grant
Cooper, decided Sirhan was
guilty at the outset and never
pursued available defenses.
The Sirhan defense team set-
tled on a claimof diminished ca-
pacity and never denied that Sir-
han was the shooter of Kennedy,
the brief noted.
Sirhan innocent, lawyers say
Attorneys contend someone
else killed Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy in 1968.

POLICE BLOTTER
MADISON, Wis. Soviet
dictator Josef Stalins daugh-
ter, whose defection to the
West during the Cold War em-
barrassed the ruling commu-
nists and made her a best-sell-
ing author, has died. She was
85.
Lana Peters who was
known internationally by her
previous name, Svetlana Alli-
luyeva died of colon cancer
Nov. 22 in Wisconsin, where
she lived off and on after be-
coming a U.S. citizen, Ri-
chland County Coroner Mary
Turner said Monday.
Her defection in 1967
which she said was partly mo-
tivated by the poor treatment
of her late husband, Brijesh
Singh, by Soviet authorities
caused an international fu-
ror 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
the1980s, 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 In-
dian citizen, and return. In-
stead, she walked unan-
nounced into the U.S. embas-
sy in New Delhi and asked for
political asylum. After a brief
stay in Switzerland, she flew
to the U.S.
Peters car-
ried with her a
memoir she
had written in
1963 about her
life in Russia.
Twenty Let-
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 in1967, the 41-year-oldsaid:
I have come here to seek the
self-expression that has been de-
nied me for so long in Russia.
She said she had come to doubt
the communism she was taught
growing up and believed there
werent capitalists or communi-
sts, just good and bad human be-
ings. She had also found religion
and believed it was impossible
to exist without God in ones
heart.
In the book, she recalled her
father, who diedin1953 after rul-
ing 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 Marx-
ist.
Soviet Premier Alexei Kosy-
gin denounced Peters as a mor-
ally 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 com-
plex than that and never com-
pletely understood.
People say, Stalins daughter,
Stalins daughter, meaning Im
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 Im with a bomb
against the others. No, Im nei-
ther one. Im somewhere in be-
tween. That somewhere in be-
tween they cant understand.

Couple killed in crash
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 Cepe-
da, 64, was flown to Reading Hospi-
tal, where she was pronounced
dead.

A Luzerne County prosecutor is ap-
plauding a state Supreme Court ruling
that closes a legal loophole that could
have let some repeat drunken drivers
avoid installing an interlock ignition de-
vice inorder torestore their drivingpriv-
ileges.
The high courts ruling resolves a dis-
pute regardingwhether entry intoa first-
time offenders program constitutes a
conviction that triggers a law requir-
ing an offender to install an interlock ig-
nition a device that prevents a vehicle
from starting if the drivers breath re-
veals alcohol use.
In a ruling issued last week, the court
overturned the decision of a Mercer
County judge in the case of John
Whalen, who had challenged a Pennsyl-
vania Department of Transportation di-
rectivethat requiredhimtoinstall thein-
terlock ignition as a condition to get his
drivers license back.
First Assistant District Attorney Jeff
Tokach said hes not aware of any case in
Luzerne County in which a driver has
challenged the interlock law. He said
hes pleasedbythe Whalenruling, which
will have statewide impact, because it
will help ensure repeat drunken drivers
cant circumvent a law designed to pro-
tect the public.
Therulingis goodbecauseit requires
an interlock ignition device for any per-
son who already had a DUI, Tokach
said. That will hopefullyprevent people
who are intoxicated from having the
ability to operate a vehicle.
At issue was a civil law that requires
any driver who has had two or more
drunken driving convictions within a10-
year 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 Countys Accel-
erated Rehabilitative Disposition pro-
gram. The program allows a defendant
to have their record expunged if they
successfully complete a term of proba-
tion.
Whalen argued he was not subject to
the interlock ignition law because, tech-
nically, he was not convicted of drunk-
en driving in the 2009 case because it
was resolved through the ARDprogram.
AMercer County judge agreed. That rul-
ing was later upheld by the state Com-
monwealth Court.
In overturning those rulings, the Su-
preme Court acknowledged that accept-
ance of an ARD is not considered a con-
viction. The court noted that an ARD
has been found to be the equivalent to a
conviction under certain circumstances,
however, including for purposes of com-
puting sentences for subsequent convic-
tions.
The court determined a person who
enters into the ARD program has ac-
knowledged they committed the crime,
regardless of whether it technically con-
stitutes a conviction, by virtue of their
acceptance of the terms of the ARDpro-
gram. They would not accept those
terms, the court reasoned, if they didnot
acknowledge they committed the of-
fense.
Closing of DUI loophole draws applause
The law on installing ignition locks is
made clearer by the high court.

WILKES-BARRE A city man who
police say used a spear to kill his wife
and injure other family members ap-
peared Monday in Luzerne County
Court, where his attorney told a judge
the man is incompetent and cannot as-
sist 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 de-
fense.
Ngolo is charged with the June 2010
stabbing death of his wife, Maria Ngolo,
andthe injuringof his son, Moses Ngolo,
and his 3-year-old grandson, Noah Co-
bin.
Police said Harun Ngolo, an immi-
grant from Africa, used a homemade
spear toattackhis family duringanargu-
ment over holiday plans.
Psychiatrist Richard Fischbein exam-
ined Ngolo at the request of Ruzzo, who
said Ngolo suffers from psychotic disor-
der and delusions, including that his
wife is still alive andis withanother man
that she had a baby with, and that the
people at the county prison have already
killed him.
Ngolo, a native of Zaire, nowknownas
the Republic of Congo, believes he is
dead, has refused food and medication
and doesnt 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 ques-
tion 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 examineNgolo. Healsosaid
he would transfer Ngolo to a state hospi-
tal, whereNgolocanbeevaluatedandre-
ceive treatment to restore competency.
According to court papers, officers
were dispatched to the home for a fight
between a father and son. When they ar-
rived 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
onthe bedbloodiedwithcuts to his legs.
Defendant

Harun Ngolo is charged with slaying

WEST PITTSTON Even record-
breaking high water couldnt keep this
landmark down.
Agolinos Char-Grill Restaurant on
Luzerne Avenue will re-open Friday
just under three months after a devas-
tating flood filled the popular eatery
with 7-1/2 feet of water. The doors will
openat 7a.m. anda ribbon-cuttingcere-
mony will begin at 11 a.m.
Im not ready to retire, said owner
Joe Agolino. But this will be my last
flood. If it happens again, I wont go out
of business, but I will move to higher
ground.
Many of the businesses and homes
near Agolinos remain empty. Piles of
flood debris line the streets. Signs on
Antonios Restaurant and Crest Quality
Cleaners down the street say reopen-
ing soon.
Its been a difficult recovery for West
Pittston and other towns not protected
by the levee system. Agolino and many
of fellowfloodvictims arewaitingfor in-
surancemoney. But Agolinopushedfor-
ward, determined to re-open as soon as
possible.
Weve gotten so much cooperation
fromour 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.
Agolinos is a family business Joe
and his wife, Carmelina, have four chil-
dren. Corinne and Sammy work at Ago-
linos and Joey and Lisa work at Pazzo
on Route 315, Jenkins Township.
This is all we know, said Corinne,
32. Weve done this the restaurant
business all of our lives.
SamandBetty Agolino, Joes 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.
Thats what Ive missed the most the
last three months, he said. I miss the
people coming in daily, the conversa-
tions andthe friendliness. I cant wait to
open on Friday.
The new interior sports booths on
one side, tables and chairs on the other.
The counter has been moved to the
back of the restaurant, and the kitchen
sparkles with new stainless steel fix-
tures and equipment.
Paintings by Sue Hand decorate the
walls, and the family friendly atmo-
sphere remains.
Thats the key good food, good ser-
vice and cleanliness, Agolino said.
Our kitchen with all that stainless
steel you wont 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 An Ash-
ley man pleaded guilty Monday
to a charge stemming from a
case in which police said he
claimed to be an undercover
cop.
Richard Hadvance, 22, of
West Hartford Street, pleaded
guilty to a single count of imper-
sonating a public servant before
Luzerne County Judge Tina
Polachek Gartley, who said
Hadvance will be sentenced on
Jan. 13.
According to court papers, on
June 8, 2010, police said they
responded to a fight between
two people on Hazle Street in
Hanover Township.
Police said a man told them
Hadvance told him to not get
into a truck and drive because
he was too intoxicated and that
Hadvance told him to put his
hands on the dashboard and
that he was an undercover cop.
WILKES-BARRE An Ash-
ley man pleaded guilty Monday
to his role in a $3.5 million
cocaine trafficking ring.
Joseph Janick, 47, pleaded
guilty to charges of corrupt
organization, criminal conspir-
acy and possession with intent
to deliver before Luzerne Coun-
ty Judge David Lupas.
Lupas said Janick will be
sentenced on Jan. 17. Janick
faces a three-year mandatory
minimum sentence, Deputy
Attorney General Tim Doherty
said.
Prosecutors say Janick played
a part in the ring that began in
July 2008. The ring was busted
in March 2009 when undercover
agents raided a clubhouse and a
members home, as well as four
other locations. Police said
Janick and several other people
were members of the Outlaws
Motorcycle Club and that thou-
sands of calls were intercepted
and controlled cocaine purchas-
es were made.
WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County judge denied the
request of a man serving 20 to
40 years in prison to be permit-
ted to withdraw his guilty plea.
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley
denied a post conviction collat-
eral relief request of Anthony
Bidding, 41, of Edwardsville,
who had asked to withdraw his
guilty plea because of a misun-
derstanding at the time of his
sentencing. Bidding, his wife,
Andrea, and her daughter, Erika
Legg, as well as Andrea Bid-
dings niece, Gabrielle Thomas,
were charged with the October
2005 death of 73-year-old Peter
Lach of Edwardsville.
WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County sheriffs deputy
charged with her role in the
manufacturing and trafficking of
methamphetamine waived her
right to a formal arraignment
Monday.
Tara Rushnock, 32, of Hanov-
er Township, waived the right to
her Jan. 27 arraignment through
her attorney, Demetrius Fan-
nick, entering a plea of not
guilty and asking for a jury trial.
Rushnock was charged for her
alleged role in the case in which
17 alleged meth labs were dis-
mantled since June.
Rushnock faces a misdemean-
or charge of intention to possess
a controlled substance
WILKES-BARRE A trial set
to begin on Dec. 19 for a woman
charged with the shooting death
of her boyfriend has been con-
tinued to another date.
Demetrius Fannick, an at-
torney for homicide suspect
Kathleen Jordan, said in court
papers filed Monday that he was
requesting the continuance
because he is preparing for
another homicide trial sched-
uled to begin on Dec. 12, and
cannot prepare for both ade-
quately.
Fannick said he is also wait-
ing for paperwork to prepare for
the trial, and asked for a contin-
uance. Judge William Amesbury
granted Fannicks request, and
said another trial date will be
scheduled.
Kingston police and county
detectives allege Jordan picked
up a shotgun and fired at her
boyfriend, Milo Vincent Reilly,
45, in a Valley View Drive, Prin-
gle, house on March 8. Jordan
claimed they were arguing for
most of the day.
COURT BRIEFS
In a historic but private hear-
ing, 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 state-
ment released by Common
Pleas Court M. Teresa Sarmina.
Sarmina opened the proceed-
ing by questioning the cardinal
and declaring himcompetent to
testify. Lawyers for Bevilacqua
had argued he suffers from de-
mentia and is unfit to answer
questions.
But her brief statement in-
cluded no details about the
hearing inside the cardinals res-
idence on the grounds of St.
Charles Borromeo Seminary off
City Avenue.
The planned deposition fol-
lowed 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 ac-
cess to children. Prosecutors
contend those priests later as-
saulted two boys.
The deposition could last
days.
Prosecutors had asked for the
proceedings to occur in open
court. Ruling on a request from
Bevilacquas attorney, Brian
McMonagle, Sarmina agreed to
a closedhearingat the cardinals
residence.

Occupiers refuse to leave
W
all Street protesters in Los An-
geles and Philadelphia defied
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 support-
ers asked a federal judge to bar the city
from tearing down their encampment.
In Philadelphia, the camp was most-

lations on Wall Street.
Frank, 71 and a
lifelong liberal, won a House seat in
1980 was one of the first lawmakers to

He scheduled an early afternoon
news conference in Newton, Mass., to
make a formal announcement of his

Syria accused of atrocities
A U.N. investigation released Mon-
day accused Syrian forces of killing and
torturing children and other crimes
against humanity over the past eight
months as President Bashar Assads
regime tried to crush an unpreceden-
ted uprising.
The investigation added to mounting
international pressure on Assad. On
Sunday, the Arab League approved
sweeping sanctions to push his embat-
tled 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.

CAIRO Shaking off years
of political apathy, Egyptians
turned out in long lines at vot-
ing stations Monday in the first
parliamentary elections since
Hosni Mubaraks ouster, agiant
steptowardwhattheyhopewill
beademocracyafter decadesof
dictatorship.
Some voters brought their
children along, saying they
wantedthemtolearnhowtoex-
ercisetheir rights inademocra-
cy as they cast ballots in what
promises to be the fairest and
cleanest electioninEgypt inliv-
ing memory. With fears of vio-
lence largely unrealized, the
biggest complaint was the
hours of standing in long, slow-
moving lines.
If you have waited for 30
years, cant youwait nowfor an-
other hour? an army officer
yelled at hundreds of restless
women in Cairo.
Afterthedramatic,18-dayup-
rising that ended Mubaraks
three decades of authoritarian
rule, many had looked forward
to this day in expectation of a
celebration of freedom. But
Mubaraksfall onFeb.11wasfol-
lowed by nearly 10 months of
military rule, divisions and vio-
lence and when election day fi-
nally arrived, the mood was
markedly different. People
were eager to at last cast a free
vote, but daunted by all the un-
certainty over what happens
next.
I never voted because I was
never sure it was for real, said
Shahira Ahmed, 45, waiting
withher husbandanddaughter
witharound500otherpeopleat
a Cairo polling station. This
time, I hope it is, but I am not
positive.
Even as they vote, Egyptians
are sharply polarized and con-
fused over the nations direc-
tion.
Ononelevel, theelectionwill
beastrongindicatorof whether
Egypt is heading toward Isla-
mism or secularism. The Mus-
limBrotherhood, Egypts large-
st 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 in-
fluence could end Egypts role
as a major moderating influen-
ce in Middle East politics.

WASHINGTONIts become
a symbol of sorts for the federal
governments budget dysfunc-
tion: Unless Congress acts before
Jan. 1, doctors will again face
steepMedicarecuts that threaten
to undermine health care for mil-
lions of seniors and disabled peo-
ple.
This time its a 27.4 percent
cut. Last year, it was about 20per-
cent. The cuts
are the conse-
quence of a
1990s budget
law that failed
to control
spending but
was never re-
pealed. Con-
gress passes a
temporary fix
each time, only
to growthe size
of reductions required next time
around. Last weeks supercom-
mittee breakdown leaves the so-
called doc fix unresolved with
time running out.
Ahealthcareindustrylobbyist,
who spoke on condition of ano-
nymity because he is not autho-
rized to make public statements,
said lawmakers of both parties
wanted to deal with the cuts to
doctors, but a fundamental parti-
san 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. Con-
gress used to add it to the federal
deficit, but lawmakers cant get
away with that in these fiscally
austere times. Instead, they must
find about $22 billion in offsets
for the one-year option, $35 bil-
lion for the two-year version. A
permanent fix would cost about
$300 billion over 10 years, mak-
ing it much less likely.
Its going to be a real chal-
lenge, andtheres not a lot of time
to play ping-pong, said the lob-
byist. Its entirely possible given
past performance that Congress
misses the deadline.
Congressional leaders of both
parties have said that wont hap-
pen. Senate Finance Committee
Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont.,
says the Medicare fix is too im-
portant not toget done. But how?
The endgame for a complex ne-
gotiation also involving expiring
tax cuts, unemployment benefits
and dozens of lesser issues re-
mains unclear.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
NATO airstrikes that killed 24
Pakistani soldiers came just as
the difficult relationship be-
tween the U.S. and Pakistani
militaries was showing signs of
improvement.
Only hours earlier, U.S. Ma-
rine Gen. John Allen, the coali-
tions top commander in Af-
ghanistan, and Pakistans army
Chief Gen. AshfaqPervez Kaya-
ni 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 renew-
ed pressure from his rank and
file, intelligence sharing has
stopped and Pakistan has with-
drawn its offer to nudge the Af-
ghanTalibanto the negotiation
table.
On its website, the U.S. Em-
bassy warned of possible retal-
iation against Americans and
said some U.S. government
personnel outside Islamabad
were being recalled to the cap-
ital as a precaution.
The White House said Mon-
day that President Barack Oba-
ma considers the incident a
tragedy and that the adminis-
tration is determined to look
into the circumstances of the
airstrikes.
White House spokesman Jay
Carney said the president ex-
tends sympathy to the families
of the dead soldiers and to the
people of Pakistan.
Carney said: We take it very
seriously.
Saturdays airstrikes lasted
almost two hours and persisted
even after Pakistani command-
ers pleaded with coalition
forces to stop, the Pakistani ar-
my claimed Monday.

TOPEKA, Kan. Kansas Gov. Sam
Brownback apologized Monday for his
offices response to a disparaging Twit-
ter 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 stu-
dents listening to
Brownbacks greeting.
From her cellphone,
she thumbed: Just made mean com-
ments at gov. brownback and told him
he sucked, in person (hash)heblowsa-
lot.
She said she was just joking with
friends, but Brownbacks office, which
monitors social media for postings con-
taining the governors name, contacted
the youth program. Sullivan said she
spent nearly an hour in the principals
office and was told to apologize in writ-
ing to the governor.
As word of the governors office reac-
tion spread, Sullivan went from61Twit-
ter followers before the incident to
more than 9,000 Monday more than
three times the number that follow
Brownbacks official Twitter account.
The Shawnee Mission East senior de-
cided to not write the apology letter
and the school district issued a state-
ment Monday saying there would be no
repercussions.

WASHINGTON Democrats
are using humor to try to under-
mine 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 Romneys incon-
sistencies on a number of issues
important to conservative voters
as he seeks to challenge Presi-
dent Barack Obama next year.
Democrats are trying to slow the
former Massachusetts governors
progress with six weeks remain-
ing before Republican primary
voters begin picking their nomi-
nee.
The Democratic National
Committee ad, called Mitt ver-
sus Mitt, argues that Romney
has changed his views on health
care andabortionrights. It shows
contradictory clips of Romney on
the issues. From the creator of
Im running for office for Petes
sake, comes the story of twomen
trapped in one body, the ad says.
The DNC is running the ad in
Albuquerque, N.M., Raleigh,
N.C., Columbus, Ohio, Pitts-
burgh, Milwaukee and Washing-
ton. It directs viewers to a web-
site, www.MittvMitt.com, with a
longer version.
Romneys campaign blasted
Obamas handling of the econo-
my in return, saying the White
House didnt want to have to run
against Romney and be held ac-
countable for the many failures of
this administration.
Instead of focusing on the
economyandcreatingjobs, Presi-
dent Obama and Democrats are
focused on tearing down Mitt
Romney, said Romney spokes-
woman Andrea Saul.

HARRISBURG A charity
for at-risk children founded by a
former Penn State assistant foot-
ball coach nowcharged with mo-
lesting boys asked its donors on
Monday to instead give their
moneytoanorganizationfor sex-
ual-assault victims.
The Second Miles recommen-
dation to donate to the Pennsyl-
vania Coalition Against Rape is
the latest sign its days may be
numbered, although it said its
December programs will contin-
ue as scheduled. It told The As-
sociated Press about the deci-
sion before posting it on its web-
site.
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 chargedthis monthwithsex-
ual abuse of eight boys over a 15-
year period. Prosecutors say
Sandusky met victims through
the charity, fromwhose 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, thenonprofit saidit
was considering restructuring,
transferring programs to other
organizations or ceasing oper-
ations. The statement released
Monday said it was making for-
mal reports of any child abuse al-
legations to the proper author-
ities, and it encouraged others to
do the same. Through a spokes-
man, it declined to comment fur-
ther.
A spokeswoman for the Penn-
sylvania 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
andsaddenedbythis andwant to
help, spokeswoman Kristen
Houser said.
Lawyers for one of the people
described in a grand jury report
as a victim of repeated sexual at-
tacks by Sandusky are seeking a
court order to prevent the char-
ity from unloading its assets.
Messages seeking comment
about the filingfromthe lawyers,
Benjamin Andreozzi and Jeffrey
Fritz, were not immediately re-
turned Monday.
The Second Mile filed its ob-
jections in Philadelphia Com-
mon Pleas Court on Monday,
saying the lawyers motion
should have been filed with the
Orphans Court in Centre Coun-
ty, wherethecharityis headquar-
tered. It is seeking dismissal
based in part on an argument
that granting the lawyers re-
quest for an injunction would de-
stroy its ability to manage its af-
fairs.
The Second Mile attached to
the filing a list of assets that in-
cluded $1.2 million in unrestrict-
ed cash, $5.2 million in donor-re-
stricted cash and $3.3 million
worth of real estate. It also listed
$1.8millioninliabilities, for anet
asset total of $7.9 million.
Also Monday, Penn State said
student government leaders and
high-ranking administrators
wouldparticipate later this week
in a town hall forumfor students
about the child sex abuse scan-
dal that has engulfed the univer-
sity, which is based in State Col-
lege.
The student forum, planned
for Wednesday at Heritage Hall
on the University Park main
campus, will be restricted to stu-
dents who obtained tickets
ahead of time by showing valid
Penn State identification. It will
be broadcast by the Pennsylva-
nia Cable Network and streamed
over the Internet. Viewing areas
also are being established at all
of Penn States other campuses.

Nowthe feds are involved.
The U.S. Department of Educa-
tion on Monday was to begin its in-
vestigation to determine if Penn
State officials violated a federal law
by failing to report allegations of
child sexual abuse by former assist-
ant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
We are making every effort to
provide the review team with im-
mediate access to all requested re-
cords and information sources per-
taining to all aspects of Clery Act
compliance, Penn State President
Rodney Ericksonsaidina weekend
news release.
The Clery Act, named after a 19-
year-old Lehigh University fresh-
man who was raped and murdered
in1986, requires universities to dis-
close campus crimes and, in some
cases, issue a warning for current
threats.
U.S. Rep. Pat Meehan, R-Pa., of
DelawareCounty, hadcalledfor the
investigation this month, after
Sandusky was charged with abus-
ing 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
NewYork Times.
Sunday, the Centre Daily Times
reported Penn State police have re-
ceived a letter fromanother person
who says he was possibly assault-
ed by Sandusky. The letter, sent
froma manincarceratedinOklaho-
ma, was received Friday and for-
wardedtothestateAttorneyGener-
als Office.

Writer views hunting
as callous taking of life
T
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.

SBDC should be lauded
for bolstering growth
T
ea Partiers. Wall Street Occupiers.
President Obamas upcoming visit to
Scranton. All have one concern in com-
mon: future jobs. How to create and main-
tain 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
governments most successful programs to
provide management and technical assist-
ance for new and existing enterprises.
Moreover, its importance to our nations
economy is recognized with additional
funding from state funds and the Uni-
versity of Scranton.
The Small Business Development Cen-
ter at the University of Scranton has
helped local economic growth for more
than 30 years. At no cost, the SBDC pro-
vides individualized assistance with educa-
tion and information to build successful
businesses.
As the SBDC helps businesses grow, job
opportunities grow. In 1998, I contacted
the SBDC for help with a housecleaning
business. Beginning with one residential
client, my business steadily has grown to
employ an average of seven to 10 day/
evening employees who service numerous
residential and commercial clients. Fur-
thermore, the SBDC has taught me about
taxes, recordkeeping, company policy
development and customer service. Re-
cently, the SBDC assisted in enlarging my
marketing presence through social net-
working: Google Maps, Facebook, Twitter
and Four Square.
If you are considering starting a business
or already in business, the SBDC is there
to help. Sadly, however, this program is in
danger of facing funding cuts.
Implore your state and federal legisla-
tors to support the SBDC. Its importance
to our nations economy is crucial. Future
jobs depend on it.

Department is restoring
integrity to welfare system
F
or too long, Pennsylvanias welfare
policy was when in doubt, give it out.
But under Gov. Tom Corbetts lead-
ership, 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 con-
sume 50 percent of the states 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 sim-
ply, those who exploit the system are steal-
ing from taxpayers and the needy.
The Corbett administration inherited a
welfare system that was inefficient, frag-
mented and rife with waste. Vital eligi-
bility information got lost in an onerous,
disconnected system that even the profes-
sionals 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 In-
spector General, weve increased the pres-
ence of investigators in the departments
offices, enhanced collections efforts and
deployed a more comprehensive strategy
to audit providers. Weve 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 departments day-to-day activ-
ities.
To help close the $1 billion budget gap
the department faces this year, we have
launched an aggressive program integrity
initiative. Already, weve identified tens of
millions of dollars in cost savings and
avoidance; increased enforcement of cur-
rent laws; ramped up reporting of fraud,
waste and abuse; recovered millions in
cash assistance and other overpayments;
built an automated system to track expen-
ditures and performance to hold all manag-
ers accountable; and improved communi-
cation 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 common-
wealths 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 abso-
lutely essential if we are to continue to
provide quality, necessary services to
Pennsylvanias neediest families.
Gary D. Alexander
Secretary, Pennsylvania Department
of Public Welfare
PSU chain-of-command
needed to include women
I
am in agreement with several colum-
nists 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
bishops sight when they were accused of
child molestation. At Penn State, ex-assist-
ant football coach Jerry Sanduskys saga
has the same dynamics, with a rigid, all-
male hierarchy running the sports pro-
grams.
More women in higher managerial posi-
tions in all these instances might have
helped; they typically are more cognizant
of child abuse and could provide a checks-
and-balances system. They certainly
couldnt do worse.
Although Mr. Sandusky is innocent until
proven guilty, the preponderance of evi-
dence 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 lega-
cy is marred for good with this unfortunate
situation.
Sports are idolized in colleges and uni-
versities, 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.

UGE differences exist
between two bills de-
signed to regulate
Marcellus Shale drill-
ing in Pennsylvania, and they
share one major flaw: House Bill
1950 and Senate Bill 1100 both
bar local communities from set-
tingtougher standards for thein-
dustry.
One of the best arguments
weve heardlately onthe topic of
local control came fromMichael
Krancer, the states secretary of
environmental protection. Kran-
cer was in Washington, D.C., to
testifyabout U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency plans to de-
velop new rules for the disposal
of fracking wastewater. Krancer
said, One size does not fit all
and that each state must take in-
to consideration its unique to-
pography, geographyandmeteo-
rology.
Thatsthesameargument that
county and municipal officials
have against the Corbett admin-
istrations goal of allowing state
law to supersede local ordinanc-
es. So much for one size not fit-
ting all.
Whether that issue will be on
the table is unclear as a confer-
ence committee takes up the
taskof reconcilingtheprovisions
of the dueling House and Senate
bills.
Of the two, there is more to
commendSB1100 thanits coun-
terpart. Under the Senate mea-
sure, impact fees will be some-
what higher ($50,000 in the first
year of a wells production, com-
pared to $40,000 under the
House measure) and extend
longer.
Most of the Senates terms are
better for the state and deserve
the approval of conference com-
mittee members. If lawmakers
are interested in the best com-
promise, however, they should
assemble a final package that
putstheneedsof Pennsylvanians
above those of the industry.

L
IKE ANY SUCCESS
story worth retelling,
the one about Luzerne
Countys newest per-
forming arts venue starts with
everyday people who, relying
on pluck and persistence, did
the extraordinary.
They refused to see a be-
loved former school in Hazle-
ton, although abandoned and
seemingly destinedfor demoli-
tion, as useless.
Instead, the communitys
residents rallied. They pushed
for a stay of execution. They
enlisted their elected leaders,
adopted plans for the massive
buildings renovation and pur-
suedgrants torestore its interi-
or. They also found willing do-
nors 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 cen-
ter at 700 N. Wyoming St.
serves as a testament to stick-
to-itiveness and cooperation.
What else could be accom-
plished 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?
Namedfor 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 gump-
tion and some changing enroll-
ment 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 sea-
sonal events such as this Satur-
days holiday concert (7 p.m.)
and a Dec. 17 showing of the
classic Christmas film Its a
Wonderful Life (6 p.m.)
Bravo to Tom Gabos and
Bobby Tombasco, the self-ap-
pointedguardians of theempty
school who subsequently were
nicknamed the Castle Keep-
ers, and everyone who played
a role in preserving and refur-
bishing this landmark.
During this season of mira-
cles, andof hope, theirs is a sto-
ry worth spreading.

breaks to millions of families
across the country this year, the
White House press release states.
In 2008, Obama cruised to vic-
tory to become the countrys 44th
president, but 2012 will not be so
easy andPennsylvania andpartic-
ularly NortheasternPennsylvania
will play a pivotal role in the race.
NEPAis a huge part of any vic-
tory for him, Mitchell said. In
2008, only the Philadelphia re-
gionperformedhigher for Obama
interms of themarginof his victo-
ry.
Mitchell said the vote for presi-
dent is a highly personal one
and he doesnt see the local and
statewide Republican hold on oth-
er elected offices influencing the
vote for president.
And lawmakers at all levels will
be more greatly affected by redis-
tricting than the presidential con-
test, he said. People want their
president to lead them out of the
mess in Washington.
Biden factor
Vice President Joe Biden, a
Scrantonnative, has beenassigned
three critical states to focus on in
theupcomingcampaignPennsyl-
vania 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 cor-
ner of the state -- including across
NEPA.
In 2010, Pennsylvania and the
northeasternpart of thestatesawa
Republican wave at the state and
national levels. U.S. Reps. Lou Bar-
letta, R-Hazleton, and Tom Mari-
no, R-Lycoming Township, won
seats inCongress fromDemocratic
incumbents. The state House, Sen-
ate and governors office also went
to the GOP.
Renita Fennick, Marinos com-
munications 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 Obamas poor re-
cord in job creation, energy devel-
opment and his overreach in gov-
ernment regulation.
Pa. a political nexus
Lance Stange, representing U.S.
Rep. Lou Barlettas 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
peoplethat lookforcandidatesthat
best represent their values and be-
liefs.
David Sosar, political science
professor at Kings College, saidits
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 goingtohavetorematchtheir ef-
fort 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 dont seem to be
nearly as energized as they were in
thelast election. Thisvisit maybea
way of testing the water in an at-
tempt 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, Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania is a region that
will listen to his every word, Sosar
said.
This area has suffered more
than most others in the poor eco-
nomic 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 pro-
fessor at Keystone College, said
Pennsylvania is poised to be a toss-
up in the 2012 general election.
Pennsylvania is the biggest,
most important swing state in the
nation, Brauer said.
And Brauer says NEPA is a cru-
cial swing area of the swing state.
Despite being largely Democrat-
ic, NEPA proved in 2010 that it
can go Republican.
Tom Baldino of Wilkes Univer-
sity called it a wave election.
Voters rejected Democratic
candidates, which brought the
Republicans control of the states
government, Baldino said. I
dont think it reflected a perma-
nent shift in the political orienta-

People continue to struggle
with unemployment as well as
the everyday tasks to make ends
meet, which is why I am contin-
uing, as I have in the past, to re-
turn 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.
Ill have the calculator out
againfiguringout what the differ-
ence is, said Kavulich, who has
foregone both raises hes been eli-
gible to receive since taking of-
fice.
Last year, legislators wereeligi-
ble to receive a 1.7 percent raise.
This year it will be a 3 percent
raise. The percentages are deter-
mined, in accordance with a1995
law, by changes in the U.S. Labor
Departments Consumer Price
Index for the Mid-Atlantic states
for the year ending each October.
The 3 percent hike set to take
effect Thursdaywill boost legisla-
tors annual pay to $82,026. It is
currently at $79,623. At the time
the 1995 law passed, salary for
state House andSenate members
was $47,000. Since that time, the
base payfor rankandfile lawmak-
ers 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 them-
selves too big a raise.
He said that while he believes
the system has worked in most
years, this years raise may be too
much considering whats going
on with the economy and the un-
employment rate, whichis hover-
ing around 8 percent in the state
and over 9 percent in the Wilkes-
Barre/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 in-
cluding health clinics and a chil-
drens museum in Bloomsburg.
Hesaidthat whilehewouldnot
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
methodthat determines what the
COLA would be, perhaps to the
Social Security increase.
Hes not the only one who
wouldnt support repealing the
1995 law. Pashinski and Mundy
both said they think the system
works, even if its not perfect.
If you want somebody to de-
vote their life to this job, then
youve got to pay themproperly,
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 wouldnever be another pay
raise vote, Mundy said. Do peo-
ple really think we should be
working for $47,000?
Mullery said if he has learned
anything from his first year in
Harrisburg, its that change is
slow in coming.
This is just another example
of Harrisburg not getting whats
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
gained two co-sponsors but
never made any headway.
Baker said not only would
she support repealing the 1995
law she has drafted a bill that
would allow legislators to re-
ject 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 werent
gettingtheir Social Security in-
creases, she wouldnt accept a
raise, noted that even though
the Social Security payments
will increase next year, she still
doesnt think its the right time
toseeher ownincomerise. She
said shes opting to spread the
money out to groups in her dis-
trict rather than returning it to
the state because the money
can be put to good use in the
community.
RAISE
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 multis-
tate game that Pennsylvania
joined in June 2002.
Though he bought the ticket
two days before the Nov. 19
drawing, he didnt exactly sit on
pins and needles waiting to see
if he had won.
I had forgotten I bought the
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 couldnt 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 per-
son to have the lucrative num-
bers: 09-16-17-28-30 in the white
balls and 11 in the red Power-
ball, making him sole claimant
to a $55.9 million jackpot.
Lloyd said he checked the
ticket dozens of times before be-
lieving he won. He presented
the ticket Tuesday morning at
Lottery headquarters in Dau-
phin County, where it was con-
firmed.
Lloyd opted to take his win-
nings in one lump sum rather
than the larger annuity. A quar-
ter of the total will be withheld
for federal taxes.
Even so, its the biggest Penn-
sylvania Lottery prize in Lu-
zerne County history, and 12th
largest prize ever awarded by
the state lottery, according to
lottery officials. For Pennsylva-
nia, Lloyd was the 14th Power-
ball winner; for Lloyd it was his
first lottery success. He accept-
ed it with a dose of humility.
Im not looking for a life of
excess with this money, he
said, just an easier, more inter-
esting life where I can use this
prize money to pay it forward,
once things calm down and we
figure out howto put the money
to the most good.
Ive always said good things
take time but great things hap-
pen in an instant, and I was for-
tunate enough to have experi-
enced this instant.
In the press release after the
announcement, Lottery offi-
cials noted that Lloyd had
agreed to participate in the
event but would decline addi-
tional media interviews.
WINNER
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 ac-
claimed letter from Santa,
phone call from Santa, Santa
evidence kits and official good
list certificate. Make your
childrens eyes pop out of their
heads this Christmas! (Par-
ents might have fun explain-
ing 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 me-
nu of prices for letters from
Santa. Theres a fancy one on a
scroll for $19.99 and a simple
postcard for nearly $3. (Mom-
my, 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
NEW YORK Kids can
video chat with Santa, follow
him on Twitter or enlist NO-
RAD 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 mans cover.
Practically any schoolchild
can type Is Santa real? into
Google. And just a few clicks
can bring youngsters to web-
sites 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 relation-
ship with technology and
Santa, said Kristi Kovalak, a
mom in St. Louis. The beauty
of Santa is the not knowing.
Technology is all about know-
ing, 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 dont do robo-calls. We
dont submit lists to Santa
online. I dont 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.
Were definitely in this
boat, primarily with our ol-
dest. Shes a smart cookie,
said Grout, of St. Catharines,
Ontario. It was clear to me a
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.
Were so close with him
this year, not believing, she
said. He was Googling San-
ta, and I saw him type the
word myth when I grabbed it
and said no electronics. Im
constantly having to follow my
phone and iPad and stuff
around right now. Were 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 daugh-
ter through apps that offer
Santa video chat and recorded
calls from the big guy. It isnt
getting harder. The methods
are just different, he said.
And what happens when
shes older? He said he might
go retro and haul out the mo-
vie Elf with Will Ferrell, the
one where the sleigh doesnt
have enough power because
people dont believe.
Other parents, though, are
finding that in some ways, it
was easier to maintain the
Santa myth before high-speed
Internet.
When Kimberly Porrazzos
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 scam-
pering hoof sounds.
Now, with technology, all
the various opinions on wheth-
er or not he exists are more
readily available to children
beyond asking their parents,
she said. Its likely they will
Google rather than asking
their parents. Thats why par-
ents need to share the secret
on their terms.
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?

SCRANTON Fervent sup-
porters of President Barack Oba-
ma lined up in front of Scranton
High School on Monday in hopes
of receiving one of a limited num-
ber of tickets toseethecommand-
er-in-chief speak in the same loca-
tion 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 con-
tained 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 Obamas 2008 election cam-
paign and plans to do so again for
his reelection, but has yet to see
him in person. She said she ap-
proves of the job hes done during
his first term for the most part.
I think hes been blocked in a
lot of areas, obviously. Id like to
see a little more cooperation
across party lines, but I think
thats becoming a pipe dream, un-
fortunately. I think he honestly
has donequiteabit withtheoppo-
sition hes been met with, Nash
explained.
Finding the recent Republican
candidate debates frustrating,
shesaidmuchof theviews of Oba-
mas opposition are off the wall.
At this point, there are no oth-
er candidates that have come for-
ward that Iminterested 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
worldleader, especially our world
leader, you should go hear them
and the way they present them-
selves in front of people. In my
lifetime, as far back as I can re-
member, I wasalittletooyoungto
remember Reagan, and people
spoke so highly of him, Jump
said.
He is probably the most well-
spokenpresident inmy time. Hes
very inspirational. Hes a very
good speaker.
Jump said he didnt really have
an opinion on the presidents last
four years, believing anyone who
inherited the countrys current is-
sues would be struggling in the
position.
Thecountryitself has somany
negatives going on right now. I
dont thinkanybodycouldchange
that. No one person can change
anything, and nothing is ever go-
ing to change overnight. I think,
so far, his messages are always
positive and he doesnt look like
the last goof, Jump said, refer-
ring to former President George
W. Bush.

LOS ANGELES Vaccinating
childrenwhoare more thana year
old against varicella, or chicken
pox, also provides tremendous
indirect benefits toyoungbabies,
researchers reported Monday in
the journal Pediatrics.
TheU.S. implementedavaricel-
la vaccine program in 1995, offer-
ing the vaccine to children 12
monthsandolder. But youngerba-
bies who arent old enough to get
the vaccine are protected through
so-called herd immunity be-
cause fewer older kids develop
chickenpox, the younger children
are less likely to be exposed to the
virus.
The researchers, including
somefromtheCentersforDisease
Control and Prevention, studied
data on chicken pox cases in the
Antelope Valley near Los Angeles
and in Philadelphia during the
first14years the vaccine was avail-
able.

F
rustrated Philadelphia fans insist
they want Eagles coach Andy
Reid fired.
But its his players who deserve to be
on the firing line.
The problem is, so many Eagles are
making mistakes, its 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 crit-
icism after this Eagles team turned into
such disarray.
Star receiver DeSean Jackson was
benched in the fourth quarter for es-
sentially quitting during Sundays 38-
20 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 Philadelphias defense didnt
care to cover anybody while allowing
Tom Bradys 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 Phi-
ladelphias 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.
Im 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 expec-
tations to rock bottom during a season
that started with Super Bowl talk.
Thats 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
Youngs 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 Reids dis-
missal 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, Ea-
gles tight end Brent Celek said. I
guess the fans are frustrated. They
dont know what to do. They pay a lot
of money to come watch these games.
Weve got a talented team. And were
not playing very well. Us players are
putting a bad product on the field.
Weve 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 couldnt
find a way to slow down New Englands
offense when he was alive.
But the Eagles never looked as life-
less in those games as they did Sunday,
even at the end of New Englands victo-
ry in Super Bowl XXXIX.
Im disappointed in a lot of things,
starting with myself, Reid said.
Its his fault, he has to put players in
better positions, he has to fix the mis-
takes particularly the penalties that
make his team seem so disinterested.
Isnt that what Reids been saying
through this whole, miserable season
for the Eagles?
Then why hasnt it happened yet?
If I could answer that, Id end it,
Reid said.
Hes out of answers and the Eagles
are out of time.
When you cant dismiss the whole
team for ineptitude, you cut the coach
whos responsible for it.

Devon Still already compares favor-

PHILADELPHIA Fans are
calling for Andy Reids dismissal
more vehemently than ever. As-
sistant coaches are arguing on
the sideline. A disgruntled star
player isnt giving his best effort.
Theres no saving the Philadel-
phia Eagles this season.
The best team money can buy
turned out to be a whole lot of
wasted dollars. All those big-
name acquisitions the Eagles
made in the offseason couldnt
evenget thembacktowherethey
were last year.
The defending NFC East
champions are4-7followinga38-
20 loss to Tom Brady and the
New England Patriots that
wasnt as close as the 18-point
margin. TheEaglesarent mathe-
matically eliminated from play-
off contention, but its just a mat-
ter of time at this point.
These last five games? I think
theyll show the character, roo-
kie center Jason Kelce said Mon-
day. Whenever youre facing ad-
versity, or whenever youreput in
a situation where its tough, you
dont know what the outcome is
goingtobefortheyearandevery-
thing else. I think true character.
Everybody can play when youre
up and when things are going
well, but whenyourebackedinto
a corner, when youre down,
thats when true character
shows.
The Eagles dont have a lot of
time to dwell on their latest loss.
They have to get ready for a
cross-countrytriptoplayat Seat-
tle (4-7) on Thursday night.
Road games will be more hos-
pitable than playing at Lincoln
Financial Field, wheretheEagles
have lost eight of their last nine
games. Things were downright
ugly on Sunday after the Eagles
blewan early10-0 lead.
Fans started chanting: Fire
Andy! in the third quarter and
the always sold-out stadium was
nearly empty by the end. Defen-
sive line coachJimWashburnex-
changedwordswithoffensiveco-
ordinator Marty Mornhinweg in
the first half. DeSean Jackson
dropped three passes, including
two that shouldve been touch-
downs, and the diminutive wide-
out clearly shied away from con-
tact before getting benched.
I just have to go out there and
do my job. I have a job to do,
whichI get paidtodo, I havetogo
out there and give my best ef-
fort, saidJackson, whoisunhap-
py he didnt get a new contract.
Regardlessof what happens, the
dropped balls and all, its not like
itshappeningonpurpose. Every-
body has things that they have to
gothroughinlife. Right nowthis
iswhat I amgoingthroughtobet-
ter myself. I will be all right.
Jackson is costing himself
money with every lackluster ef-
fort, missed meeting, deactiva-
tion and benching. Hes one of
the most exciting players in the
leaguewhenhehas theball inhis
hands. But, but Jackson isnt
among the elite receivers and
wont be getting top money from
Philadelphia after his contract
expires at the end of the season.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Tu
Holloway scored eight of his 24
points in overtime and No. 11
Xavier rallied from10 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 Southeast-
ern Conference, had the ad-
vantage of being at home in
cozy Memorial Gymin 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 a12-0 run ending with 2:27
remaining in overtime that put
Xavier up 74-66.
Lyons had19 points for Xa-
vier, and Travis Taylor added11.
John Jenkins led Vanderbilt
(5-2) with 20 points. Lance
Goulbourne and Jeffery Taylor
had18 apiece. The Commo-
dores went cold after Jenkins 3
with 3:56 left put Vandy up
66-62. They didnt score again
until Jenkins jumper with 2:17
left in overtime.
Vandy had two chances to
pull out the victory in regu-
lation.
Andre Walker, who spent his
first four years at Vandy before
graduating in May and transfer-
ring to Xavier, guarded Jenkins
who forced up a short jumper
with12 seconds left that missed.
Walker got the rebound up to
Lyons who raced downcourt for
the tying bucket.
Florida 96, Stetson 70
ORLANDO, Fla. Floridas
Billy Donovan earned his 400th
career coaching victory as the
Gators rode a16-point halftime
lead to a win over Stetson.
Bradley Beal had 22 points
and10 rebounds and Erving
Walker added 21to 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 mid-
way 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 and14 for
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.

to beat Long Beach State for the
short-handed Cardinals 14th
straight victory at the KFCYum!
Center.
Louisville (6-0) scored the
first eight points of the game
and took a double-digit lead
early in the first half, but
couldnt pull away fromLong
Beach State (2-4) until the clos-
ing minute even though the
49ers never got closer than five
points in the second half.
Freshman Chane Behanan
had13 points and seven re-
bounds for Louisville, which has
dealt with multiple injuries so
far and was without another
player when reserve guard El-
isha Justice didnt dress after he
broke his nose.
Larry Anderson scored17
points for the 49ers before foul-
ing out.

Delwan Grahams 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 scored10 points
during a 29-9 run that bridged
halftime and helped turn a close
game into a blowout. His 3-
pointer and three-point play
pushed Marquettes lead to

ble-figures scorers as the Moun-

tempo play.
He scored15 points in the
first half as West Virginia (4-1)
opened a 44-20 advantage at
intermission.
The Mountaineers outscored
the Zips 20-2 over the last 4:32

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 Kentuckys 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 weeks 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.
ARLINGTON, Va. For all of
Bruce Boudreaus success with
Alex Ovechkin and the Washing-
ton Capitals no coach in the
modern NHL reached 200 victo-
ries as quickly he failed to
take them far in the playoffs.
And now, suddenly, the regu-
lar season was becoming prob-
lematic, too. Players were tuning
out the talkative coach nick-
named Gabby, general manag-
er George McPhee said, explain-
ing why Boudreau was fired
Monday and replaced by Dale
Hunter, who never has been so
much as an assistant in the NHL
or even in the AHL, for that
matter.
Hunter does have serious bona
fides as a player, though, partic-
ularly in Washington, where he
played from 1987-99 and was a
captain.
He is one of only four Capitals
whose jersey number is retired,
which is why a 15-by-25-foot ban-
ner of Hunter wearing his red
No. 32 was hanging on a wall be-
hind one end of the ice while he
led his former-and-now-current
team through practice Monday.
It wont be too hard to follow
that guy, Capitals forward
Brooks Laich said.
Capitals jettison Boudreau,
hire Dale Hunter as coach
Carolina fires
Maurice
RALEIGH, N.C. The
last-place Carolina Hurricanes
have brought in former All-Star
Kirk Muller to replace Paul
Maurice as coach. This is the
second time Maurice has been
dismissed by the club.
Muller takes over a team
that has lost 10 of its last 13
games to drop to the bottom of
the Southeast Division.
This is Mullers first NHL
head coaching job. The
45-year-old is in his first
season coaching the Nashville
Predators AHL affiliate in
Milwaukee after spending five
seasons on the Montreal
Canadiens staff.
General manager Jim
Rutherford on Monday called
Muller the right man to lead
our team now and in the
future.
Mullers 19-year NHL career
included a Stanley Cup with the
Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
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
TampaBayLightningonMonday
night.
Steven Stamkos scored again
for theLightning, but Cal Clutter-
bucks short-handed goal and
Pierre-Marc Bouchards 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
NHLs second-leading scorer
struckfor the Lightningwitha re-
markable end-to-end rush. He
stole the puckfromDany Heatley
and raced up the right wing,
sending a rising shot past Back-
stroms stickafter the goalie went
low to try to stop it.
Stamkos has nine goals in 11
games and four goals in his last
four games.

COLUMBUS, Ohio If Ohio
State didnot 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 programwith a glittering
past that has suffered through a
difficult year of NCAAviolations.
If not for the coaching posi-
tion 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.
A year ago in my mind I was
convinced I was done coaching,
he said.
He added that he is feeling
great.
Ive been checked out and Im
ready togo, he said. Ive beento
a place and I dont want to go
back.
Meyer will become one of the
highest paid coaches in college
football, along with Alabamas
Nick Saban and Oklahomas Bob
Stoops, and Texas Mack Brown.
The school says he will receive a
six-year contract that pays $4 mil-
lion annually, plus another $2.4
million total in retention pay-
ments. He also can qualify for
supplemental bonuses.
Interim coach Luke Fickell,
who took over when Jim Tressel
was forced out for breaking
NCAArules, will coach the Buck-
eyes (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 conver-
sation with Meyer about becom-
ing coach was on Nov. 20 by
phone. Smith said the two met
face-to-face Nov. 23.
A proven winner
Meyer won two national cham-
pionships in six years as the
coach at Florida. Now, the 47-
year-old will return to the place
where his college coaching ca-
reer began in1986 after spending
a year as an ESPN game analyst.
Theres a right time for cer-
tain 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
Meyers health.
Well, if hed had a heart attack
and his heart was bad, Id be wor-
ried about that, the 80-year-old
Bruce said on Monday. Im not
worried that he was stressed out
over the game of football because
he was thinking too much and
not doing some things (exercis-
ing) that would have kept him
straight. I thinkhegot everything
back under control by sitting out
a year. I think he missed football.
And hes good at it.
Meyers news conference had
to be stopped momentarily when
a woman operating a camera for
the Big Ten Network kneeled
over during the middle of
Meyers remarks. She was helped
out of the meeting room.
Meyer takes over a program
that is likely facing NCAA sanc-
tions and was crippled by the
forcedresignationof Tressel. The
Buckeyes completed their only
season under Fickell with a 40-34
loss toMichiganonSaturdaythat
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 re-
hab time of four to six months.
Though Beachumhas one year
of eligibility left, he is on track to
graduate next month and will
likely not return for a fifth and fi-
nal season in 2012. Beachumwas
a surprise member of Penn
States senior day ceremonies
earlier this month.
This is the second major sur-
gery for Beachum in his career,
having suffered a torn ACL to-
ward 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 Septem-
ber caused him to miss time at
the start of Big Ten play, and Bea-
chumfinished the regular season
fourth on the teamin rushing be-
hind Redd, Stephfon Green and
Curtis Dukes.
Playing in parts of three sea-
sons with the Lions, Beachum
would finish his career with 361
yards rushing and two touch-
downs on 86 attempts.

where there are a lot of talented
defensive linemen. That keeps

You have to have a mindset that
youre not gonna be blocked.
Despite facing plenty of dou-
ble-teams in 12 regular season
games, Still racked up 55 tackles,
(17 for loss), along with 4.5
sacks.
Stills numbers were down in
the final two weeks of the season,
recording two total tackles
against Ohio State and Wiscon-
sin while splitting a sack on Sat-
urday vs. the Badgers.
Last week Still said he was bat-
tling the flu during the Buckeyes
game and denied he was dealing
with an injury following the loss
to Wisconsin.
Regardless, Still remains a fi-
nalist for three national awards --
the Bednarik (top defensive play-
er), the Nagurski (top defensive
player) and the Outland (top in-
terior lineman).
Still was also named a first-
team 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 recogni-
tion went to safety Drew Astori-
no, tackle Quinn Barham, defen-
sive tackle Jordan Hill, corner-
back DAnton Lynn, wide receiv-
er 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 Satur-
days loss to Wisconsin.
According to the Penn State,
Beachum had surgery on Mon-
day and will miss any potential

Megan was one of the lucky
ones to bag a trophy. Her dad
was not.
I had no luck. My luck was
through my daughters eyes.
But I really didnt care after
she pulled the trigger and it
went down, said Bill Ruso-
nis, 49.
Game officials estimated
that about 60 percent of the
anticipated harvest would be
taken Monday. Game Com-
mission spokesman Jerry
Feaser said the number of
hunters appeared to be up
over last year.
But Jody Gross, who man-
aged to slay a seven-pointer
near Sylvan Lake, said it ap-
pears to him that the number
of sportsmen in the woods is
down.
I think the younger people
are not picking it up and not
making it a part of their lega-
cy, he said.
More hunters in the woods
usually equate to more move-
ment among the deer herds,
which makes for more oppor-
tunity for a kill, said Gross,
51, of Ross Township.
Gross pointed to relatively
bare woods and mild temper-
atures for sparse movement
among the herds in Sweet Val-
ley.
It was too warm. Very
pleasant, but way too warm,
he said.
But at least the deer pop-
ulation 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 Mechan-
icsburg, who bagged a nine-
pointer on their Monday
hunting trip.
The brothers will be putting
on a drive for the members of
their hunting party who we-
rent as lucky as them Mon-
day, including their 78-year-
old father, Donald, who mis-
sed the season last year be-
cause of a quadruple heart by-
pass surgery just before
Thanksgiving.
Gross said his father spot-
ted 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 le-
gal kill.
Kevin Naugle, owner of
Naugles Custom Butchering
and Deer Processing in Leh-
man Township, said Monday
was tremendously busy be-
cause of the warm weather,
with hunters needing to have
their trophies processed
quickly.
Ive seen a lot of big deer
today, 14-pointers, a lot of
beautiful deer, Naugle said
Monday evening.
Naugle said hes 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 cant
handle it that fast, Naugle
said of business during a com-
bined buck and doe season. I
heard of five or six shops that
were turning people away
(Monday) by 2 oclock just be-
cause of the warm weather.
Daniel Figured, law enforce-
ment supervisor for the Penn-
sylvania Game Commissions
Northeast Region, which in-
cludes Luzerne and 13 other
counties, said there were no
reported accidents in the re-
gion Monday.
The commission reported
later Monday that a 14-year-
old boy was hospitalized after
accidentally shooting himself
in the leg while in a tree stand
in western Pennsylvania. Offi-
cials said the boy was hunting
with his father near Pitts-
burgh. They say his father
helped him out of the woods
and summoned help.
DEER
Deer Quality Management Association members Chris Denmon,
left, and Dan Denmon, right, examine a deer with Pete Fritsky at a
deer check scoring station in Sweet Valley on Monday, the first
day of rifle deer season in Pennsylvania.
There will be people that ob-
viously well talk to, but its not
the (board of trustees) deci-
sion, Joyner said recently. Its
the athletic directors and the
presidents decision.
No timetable has been set to
pick the full-time replacement
for Joe Paterno, who was fired
by the schools board of trustees
on Nov. 9 in the wake of the Jer-
ry Sandusky scandal.
The search committee is com-
prised of the following people:
Caldwell, Penn States facul-
ty athletics representative to the
NCAA since July 2010. A profes-
sor of recreation, park and tou-
rism management, Caldwell has
been a faculty member at the
school since 1995.
A 1976 Penn State graduate,
Caldwell has a masters degree
from North Carolina State and a
Ph.D from Maryland. She has
previously been a member of
Penn States faculty senate com-
mittee on intercollegiate athlet-
ics.
Green, Penn States recent-
ly hired associate athletic direc-
tor and senior woman adminis-
trator. Green came to Penn
State this past summer from
Notre Dame, replacing the re-
tired Susan Delaney-Scheetz.
A former All-America softball
player at the University of Utah,
Green coached the sport at Col-
orado State, Syracuse and Notre
Dame before becoming an ad-
ministrator in South Bend in
2005, serving on a number of
university and conference com-
mittees.
Lubert, a governor-appoint-
ed member of Penn States
board of trustees as well as a
chairman and co-founder of
Lubert-Adler Real Estate and In-
dependence 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 appoint-
ed back to the board by then-
Gov. Ed Rendell in 2007. He is
in the midst of his second three-
year term since then.
Followers of Penn State wres-
tling will recognize Luberts
name as part of the committee
that shockingly hired away Iowa
State legend Cael Sanderson
from his alma mater in 2009 to
lead Penn States program. Un-
der Sanderson, the Nittany Li-
ons won their first wrestling na-
tional 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 uni-
versity.
Nichols, a professor emer-
itus of Penn State College of
Communications, retired last
fall and is the chair of the Coali-
tion on Intercollegiate Athletics.
The COIA is a national orga-
nization that represents 58 fac-
ulty senates from Football Bowl
Subdivision schools to give an
academic voice to athletic is-
sues.
Nichols has three degrees
from the University of Minneso-
ta, including a Ph.D, and has
been a Penn State faculty mem-
ber since 1977.
Rose, the schools long-time
womens volleyball coach and
the winningest coach in any
sport in university history.
In his 33rd season as head
coach, Rose has won five nation-
al titles as the Lions have been
the nations most dominant pro-
gram 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 inter-
est in taking over on a full-time
basis.
Penn States brief release an-
nouncing the committee made
no mention of Paterno, a com-
mon theme around the college
football world this month.
On Monday, the Maxwell
Football Club announced that
the Joseph V. Paterno Colle-
giate Coach of the Year Award
will be discontinued after just
one year.
According to the clubs web-
site, the award was created "to
honor the spirit of Coach Pater-
no, whose long-time success on
the field has been matched only
by his impact away from it.
The Big Ten has already
stripped Paternos name off of
the leagues new championship
trophy.
Paterno, who is suffering
fromlung cancer, faces no crimi-
nal charges in connection to the
Sandusky case. In his final pub-
lic comment before being fired,
Paterno said that, in hindsight,
he wished he had done more to
bring allegations against his for-
mer defensive coordinator to
light.
PANEL
stance 10 days after an impas-
sioned defense of Fine, who spent
35 seasons on the bench next to
Boeheimand was fired Sunday.
TheRev. Robert Hoatson, presi-
dent of Road to Recovery, a group
that supports victims of sexual
abuse, saidthedismissal of Bernie
Finewas appropriatebut didnt go
far enough.
I think JimBoeheimshouldbe
fired or resign as well, Hoatson
said Monday. These boys were
members of the basketball pro-
gram. JimBoeheims responsibili-
ty is to oversee that program, and
the children were not safe on his
watch.
Two former Syracuse ball boys
were the first to accuse Fine, who
has called the allegations patent-
lyfalse.Andathirdmancamefor-
ward last week, accusing Fine of
molesting himnine years ago.
Bobby Davis, now 39, told
ESPN that Fine molested him be-
ginningin1984andthat thesexual
contact continued until he was
around27. Aball boy for sixyears,
DavistoldESPNthat theabuseoc-
curredat Fines 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 Lewis-
ton, Maine, said Sunday he told
police that Fine molested him in
2002 in a Pittsburgh hotel room.
Tomaselli, who faces sexual as-
sault charges inMaine involving a
14-year-old boy, said Fine touched
him multiple times in that one
incident. During a telephone in-
terview with The Associated
Press, he said he signed an affida-
vit accusingFinefollowingameet-
ingwithSyracusepolicelast week
in Albany.
As supporters of victims of sex
abuse called for Boeheim to be
fired, university trustees were
largely silent.
I dont have anything to say
about this, said trustee H. Dou-
glas Barclay, who earned his law
degree from Syracuse in1961 and
was a New York state senator for
20 years.
ReachedinNaples, Fla., trustee
Marvin Lender, class of 1963, re-
ferred all calls to Chancellor Nan-
cy Cantor.
Its a policy, and I want to ad-
here to it, he said.
Calls to several other trustees
seekingcommentwerenotreturn-
ed.
The allegations against Fine
surfaced a week after Penn State
school trustees fired Joe Paterno
intheaftermathof childsexabuse
charges against former defensive
coordinator Jerry Sandusky, who
is accused in a grand jury indict-
ment of sexually abusing eight
boys over a15-year period.
Amid that child sex-abuse scan-
dal, Penn States trustees ousted
Paterno and university President
Graham Spanier. The trustees
said Spanier and Paterno, who is
not the target of any criminal in-
vestigation, failed to act after a
graduate assistant claimedhe saw
Sandusky sexually abusing a
young boy in a campus shower in
2002.

Shoppers spark investors
A strong start to the U.S. shopping
season and new hope for a far-reaching
solution to Europes debt crisis sent
stocks sharply higher Monday.
Retail stocks jumped after a record
number of shoppers bought gifts over
Thanksgiving weekend, a make-or-
break time for many retailers.
European markets also soared as
leaders there discussed new approach-
es for containing the regions debt
troubles.
Judge voids Citi settlement
A federal judge on Monday used
unusually harsh language to strike
down a $285 million settlement be-
tween Citigroup and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, saying he
couldnt 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.
New home sales stalled
New-home sales rose slightly in
October to a seasonally adjusted an-
nual rate of 307,000, the Commerce
Department said Monday. Thats less
than half the 700,000 that economists
say must be sold to sustain a healthy
housing market and trails last years
323,000 homes sold.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N B
timesleader.com
WESTPITTSONCyber Mon-
day is big for igourmet, the local
online specialty foods retailer.
Its a major day, given how
early it is inthe season, saidcom-
pany founder and CEO Spencer
Chesman during the afternoon.
He estimated the firm would sell
probablythree times the normal
daily volume.
As with other Internet retailers,
igourmet sawanincreaseintraffic
and sales this year over last, al-
thoughliketheir brick-and-mortar
counterparts, online stores had to
workharder for it. Chesmansaida
Monday-only free shipping offer
onorders over $60was anextrain-
centive.
You have to be competitive,
he said of the deal that saved cus-
tomers 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
seemto ring the cashregister that
much, he said.
John Miller, vice president of e-
commerce for All About Dance in
FortyFort, saidtherewasasignif-
icant increase in traffic and sales
Monday fromlast year. The seller
of dance clothing, shoes and fash-
ion 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-
courage Americans toshoponline
on the Monday after Thanksgiv-
ing, were up early afternoon by 20
percent fromayear ago, according
todatafromIBMBenchmark. The
groupdidnot givedollaramounts.
The strong start follows an even
stronger kickoff to the holiday
shopping season over the week-
end. Americans shoppedinrecord
numbers, driven by earlier store
openings and a push by retailers
for online sales.
Online sales were strong even
during the Black Friday weekend.
Thirty-eight percent of all pur-
chases weremadeonlinethis year,
up from 31 percent to 32 percent
last year, said Sherif Mityas, part-
ner in the retail practice of A.T.
Kearney.
Igourmet ran special discounts
all weekend, Chesman said. Be-
cause many of the items, such as
cheesesandmeats, areperishable,
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,
hes encouraged. Wetendtofavor
the last-minute shopper, he said.
In addition to fulfilling orders,
igourmet employees were busy
Monday assembling gift baskets
for future sale. The company
plannedtohireabout 250seasonal
workers this year, but Were al-
ways lookingfor more incaseof a
big order, Chesman said.
An inquiry received last week
for 10,000 gift baskets fits that de-
scription.

TOYOTA SEES INTO THE FUTURE
AP PHOTO
T
oyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda speaks about the Toyota Fun-Vii in
Tokyo on Monday. Toyoda unveiled the futuristic concept car resembling a gi-
ant smartphone to demonstrate how Japans top automaker is trying to take the
lead in technology at the upcoming Tokyo auto show, which opens to the public
this weekend.
This is the
time of the
year when
major wire-
less phone
carriers tend
to release
their latest, greatest models.
Just as soon as Id gotten
over the Motorola RAZR,
Verizon sent me the HTC
Rezound for review. Ive al-
ways liked HTC devices the
first smartphone I owned was
an HTC, powered by Win-
dows Mobile. My current
phone is an HTC Thunder-
bolt, and Im about to up-
grade. The Rezound is one of
the two contenders for my
next phone. And its pretty
hard to beat.
The Rezound is
driven by dual core
1.5GHz processors
putting it in the
running for the title
of Most Powerful
Smartphone. The
display is a high-
definition 720p, 4.3-inch su-
per LCD screen that has a
greater pixel density than the
iPhone 4GS so yes, Mac
fans, the display is more crisp
than Apples Retina. The
Rezound also features the
latest generation of the HTC
Sense touch interface, which
is absolutely beautiful.
The camera is an 8 mega-
pixel, with dual flashes and a
28mm lens. Photo capture is
remarkably quick, and in a
welcome addition, there are
buttons to access the camera,
phone, e-mail and text-mess-
ages even when the device is
locked.
One interesting feature of
the Rezound is Beats Audio
the phone ships from the
factory with high-quality
headphones and digital sound
processing. The speakers are
capable of pumping out a
surprising amount of bass and
volume for their size.
The Rezound is also a 4G
phone, so coupled with the
extremely fast processors and
the incredibly responsive
display, browsing the Web or
streaming video is quite
smooth. There were no lags,
skips or degradations when
streaming 1080i video, which
is impressive even for a high-
end smartphone.
Construction is
quite solid. The
case alternates
between glossy and
matte black and the
phone feels sturdy.
Its very slightly
narrower and per-
haps just a bit thinner than
the HTC Thunderbolt, which
is a fairly substantial phone,
so if youre looking for some-
thing thats ultrathin, the
Rezound may not be your
phone.
All in all, this is an abso-
lutely superb device. If some-
one in your family is looking
for the best phone this year
for Christmas, the Rezound is
a great choice.
As for me, Ill reserve judg-
ment until the Samsung Gal-
axy Nexus is released this is
supposed to happen some-
time in the next few weeks.
The HTC Rezound is
$299.99 (with contract) from
Verizon Wireless.

fromadditional carriers. He said in addition to
restoring an American Airlines flight to Chica-
go that was pulled from the schedule on Nov.
17, hes eyeing non-stop flights to Myrtle
Beach, Orlando, Washington, D.C. and Cleve-
land.
The larger non-stop Atlanta flights will in-
clude nine first class seats. The current daily
flights do not have any.
The first larger jet will depart PittstonTown-
ship for Atlanta on Jan. 4 at 5:23 p.m., arriving
at 7:55 p.m. Aflight leaves Atlanta at 2:47 p.m.
and lands locally at 4:48 p.m. It will be oper-
ated by Delta Connection carrier ExpressJet
Airlines.
Centini saidthe increasednumber of passen-
gers the airport has seen the past two years is
mostly attributed to the natural gas drilling in-
dustry that operates inthe Marcellus Shale for-
mation in the northern tier of Pennsylvania in-
cluding Bradford, Tioga and Susquehanna

Are we spoiled
yet? Wow! These
temperatures
are enough to
make the geese
head back north,
to make me have
to wait at the
rst tee. I even
red up the old
lawn mower this
past weekend, a
rarity for it being
after
Thanksgiving.
So far, this
month is tied
with being the
fth warmest
November on
record and is
just more evi-
dence 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.

Q: For years, Ive hada
glass of warmmilkto
helpme fall asleep. I
thinkit works as well as
a sleepingpill, but its a
lot safer andis natural
whichI like. Is it the
tryptophaninthe milk
that causes me tofeel sleepy?
M.G., Philadelphia
A: Warmmilkat bedtime definitely can
have a calmingeffect, but despite popular
belief, its probably not causedby the
effect of the aminoacidtryptophanonthe
brain. Yousee, inorder for tryptophanor
any sleep-promotingdrugtowork, it
must cross the blood-brainbarrier and
get fromthe bloodstreamintothe brain
tissue. It turns out that all the other ami-
noacids that collectively make upmilk
proteinblockthe aminoacidtryptophan
fromgettingintothe brain.
The trick, researchers say, is tohave a
highcarbohydrate foodjust before drink-
ingmilklike cookies or toast. Just
remember tobrushyour teethbefore
goingtobed! Carbs cause a spike inyour
insulinlevel, andthat seems tomake it
somewhat easier for tryptophantocross
intothe brain. Without that carbsnack,
the sedatingeffect of warmmilkis prob-
ably due tothe calmingeffect of drinking
a warmliquidanda belief inits effects
(i.e., a placeboeffect).
By the way, the proposedway that
tryptophaninduces sleepis that it is a
chemical precursor inthe bodys produc-
tionof the brainneurotransmitter and
mood-improver serotonin. Serotonin, in
turn, canbe convertedintothe hormone
melatonin(involvedinthe bodys sleep-
wake cycle).
Q: Imcurious: Just howdidthe folks at
Pfizer come upwiththe drugViagra?
P.E., Jacksonville, Fla.
A: Like a lot of newdiscoveries, it was
discoveredby serendipity. In1992, a
doctor ina small Welshtownonthe other
side of the pondwas conductinga re-
searchtrial ona newdrugtotreat angina.
While his findings were disappointing, he
noticedthat the experimental drug
UK-92480hadthe curious side effect of
causingerections whentestedonhealthy
male subjects. OnMarch23, 1998, after a
number of years of further research,
Pfizer receivedFDAapproval for the use
of Viagra totreat erectile dysfunction. Pop
a pill one hour before sexit became as
simple as that.
The impact that Viagra has made both
interms of the treatment of erectile dys-
functionandsocial attitude towardthe
conditionitself cannot be overstated.
Erectile dysfunctionhas evolvedfroma
conditionthat was as difficult totreat as it
was for a mantotalkabout, toa condition
whose treatment was once proudly em-
blazonedacross MarkMartins No. 6

Risk of disease partially

Many people start their day with
diet blunders. Heres how to
correct them, with help from Dr.
Wayne Andersen, an obesity
specialist in Maryland and med-
ical 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. Dont wait
longer than an hour. Thirty
minutes is ideal, Andersen says.
Not eating enough protein. You
wont stay full long on carbo-
hydrate-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. Re-
member that some healthy
foods such as granola and cereal
bars can be very high in sugar
and fat. If youre 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 choic-
es.

H O W T O AVOID COMMON BREAKFAST MISTAKES
A
fter she cared for her
husband who had a
brain tumor, and after
she failed multiple times to
have a child, Mary Cails life
took an even darker turn. In
2000, in the middle of winter
in Charlottesville, Va., while
searching for her husband on
hospital grounds, she found
him, Dr. Wayne Cail a Mia-
mi native who had attended
Hialeah High dead in the
parking garage. Wayne had
taken his own life.
Initially, friends clamored
around Cail, offering support
and an ear as she tried to find
the floor that seemed to have dropped out from be-
neath her. But unable to relate to her loss, it was diffi-
cult for them to find the right words and eventually
they didnt know what else to say.
Cail withdrew and isolation engulfed her.
I found myself during those years wishing I had a
tool to give to friends to have them better understand
what I was going through,
Cail said in a recent interview.
Most of us have been stuck
in awkward social situations
when, out of the 25,000 words
we probably know, only about
10 come to mind, and they
arent the right 10, Cail says,
in her new book, The All
Weather Friends Guide to Alz-
heimers Disease, Staying Con-
nected to Loved Ones with De-
mentia and their Caregivers.
According to the Alzheim-
ers Association, 5.4 million
people were living with Alz-
heimers in the United States
in 2010.
Of those, approximately 8.3 percent 450,000
people were living in Florida. Approximately
98,000 live in Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe
counties.
To help assuage her grief, Cail started volunteering

For example, scientists have
found that a diet containing exces-
sive protein can suppress fetal
growth and lead to adult-onset hy-
pertension. Expectant mothers
who starved during their final tri-
mesterasaresult of theDutchfam-
ine 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
riskof Type2diabetesandmetabo-
lic syndrome.
Human beings break down the
same reason cars break down;
theyre either driven on bad roads
or made badly in the first place,
said David Barker, a professor of
clinical epidemiology at Englands
Universityof Southampton, whoin
1989 initially advanced the idea
that coronary heart disease might
originateinfetal life. Somepeople
are just strong and some are not.
Beingmadebadmeans, biological-
ly, that you have fewer functioning
units.
Experts stress that this field of
studyis relativelynewandthat the
physical mechanisms that might
explain the correlations between
stressorsinthewombandmechan-
ical problems down the road are
unclear.
It is also not lost on researchers
that some pregnant women already
are wracked with guilt over forget-
tingtheirprenatalvitaminsoreating
hot dogs insteadof broccoli.
I feel like a walking bomb, said
Chicagos Amy Elstein, 28, who is
five months pregnant and fears that
her stress levels are affectingher ba-
by. Its like my body is not my own.
EverythingIputintoitwhatIeat,
what I breathe I worry that will
haveaneffect onmychild.
Pregnancy feels like a period in
your lifewhenyouwant verybadly
to do the right thing, but you dont
havecontrol of whatsgoingtohap-
pen, so women look for areas they
cancontrol, saidDr. AnnBorders,
an assistant professor of obstetrics
and gynecology at Northwestern
University. Were trying to help
women be aware of unhealthy
stresses but not freak out that
theyrehurtingbabyforlongterm.
The current advice for pregnant
women still stands: Eat nutritious
foods, exercise, reduce stress and
avoidsmokinganddrinking.
But Barker and other scientists
inthefieldwant tostepupprenatal
care radically because they believe
thediets of girls andyoungwomen
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 childrens
health will be, said Alan Gutt-
macher, director of theNational In-
stitute of ChildHealthandHuman
Development.
Itwasoncewidelyassumedthat,
aside from cigarette smoke, drugs
and excessive alcohol, the uterus,
or womb, sheltered the fetus from
environmental influences. Scien-
tists also thought that the growing
fetuscouldsiphonoffnecessarynu-
trients from a mother like a para-
site toensure its survival.
Twodecadesof researchintothe
fetal origins of disease, however,
have challengedbothassumptions
andledtoarevolutionaryshift into
the thinking about health and de-
velopment.
According to Barkers widely ac-
cepted fetal origins theory, also re-
ferred to as the developmental ori-
ginsofhealthanddisease, stressors
in the womb can permanently
change a fetuss body structure,
physiology and metabolism.
Those changes then can lead to a
higher riskof illness inthe future.
Though some research looks at
the effects of environmental expo-
sures and psychological stress,
muchattentioncentersonnutrient
deprivation, which occurs when
the mother isnt getting amino
acids, glucose and lipids to the de-
veloping baby quickly enough to
meet its growingneeds.
For example, most pancreatic be-
ta cells they produce the insulin
thatregulatesbloodsugararepro-
ducedduringfetallife,saidDr.Susan
Ozanne, a BritishHeart Foundation
senior fellow at the University of
Cambridge. If the environment in
the womb is suboptimal, as when a
mother isnt getting enough protein
to the fetus, the baby can wind up
withfewer betacells.
This causes us problems later
on, particularlyif we place highde-
mands on our body to produce in-
sulin by becoming obese or eating
high-sugar diets. Then we dont
have enough beta cells to produce
the amount of insulin we need,
Ozanne said.
Nourishing a fetus, however, in-
volves more than just eating the
right foods. A womans body com-
position also can affect how well
her placenta transfers nutrients to
the fetus.
Different types of women pro-
videdifferent levelsof accesstoher
nutrients, said Kent Thornburg,
directorof theHeartResearchCen-
ter at Oregon Health and Science
University. Thin mothers with
lowamountsofmusclearelessable
to handle protein than more mus-
cularwomen, forexample. Women
who carry large amounts of fat are
in a constant state of mild inflam-
mation, which affects the forma-
tionandfunctionof the placenta.
Fetal programmingmayworkin
at least twoways. Oneis that nutri-
ent deprivation may simply stunt
the growthof organs or tissue.
If a fetus cant get enough nutri-
ents, scientists believe, it adapts by
divertingsustenancetoorganscru-
cial for survival, such as the brain
and heart. That can compromise
other organs, such as the kidneys,
lungs andpancreas, leavingthe de-
veloping baby more vulnerable to
illness downthe road.
The idea of the human baby as
an efficient extraction of nutrients
frommotheriscompletelywrong,
saidBarker, alsoaprofessorofmed-
icineat OregonHealthandScience
University.
The other proposedmechanism
is epigenetics, a process by which
stressorsmodifythebodysDNAin
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 duringpregnancy hadlowlev-
els of activity of a gene called
HNF4. That leads to a reduction
in the number of pancreatic beta
cellsthat developinthefetus, mak-
ingthemless able toproduce suffi-
cient levels of insulin in adult-
hood, Ozanne said.
Fetal exposure to the stress hor-
mone cortisol appears to trigger
bothprocesses.
The placenta normally shields a
fetusfromexposuretocortisol, but
if a mother is chronically stressed
constantly in fight-or-flight
mode it cant produce enough
enzymestodothejob. If thefetusis
exposed, Thornburg said, cortisol
not only slows growth in most or-
gans, it also modifies genes
throughepigeneticmechanismsto
make them lose their protective
functions.
Chicagos Sara Strother, 30, who
is due inDecember, saidshe keeps
her stress levels down with yoga
and avoids pesticides, plastic con-
tainers, cigarette smoke, alcohol,
chemicals found in commercial
cleaning products, airplanes (be-
cause of radiation exposure), even
people withnegative attitudes.
You name it, I am paranoid,
StrothersaidduringarecentMoth-
er Me childbirtheducationclass at
Sweet Peas StudioinChicago.
Early in Strothers pregnancy,
she bought a juicer and binged on
carrot juice. She then panicked af-
ter reading that high doses of vita-
min A could be harmful. Her mid-
wife 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.
Im so scared something will go
wrongandI will blame myself, soI
copebytryingtocontrol what I can
toease my concerns.
Eventually, she talked to a ther-
apist who reminded her that many

I had neuropathy for 7 years. They said the nerves would die and I would be in
a wheel chair. I couldnt sleep with the covers on my feet as the burning was
so bad from my feet to half way up my calf. I had electric shocks, pulsating
throbbing pains through my toes and intense numbness. At the same time
my feet to touch felt like ice. I had the Neuropathy Centers treatment done
and now I can sleep at night. I would say I have at least 50% of my feeling
back and seldom have stinging in my toes. I cant sing the praises enough for
the people of the Neuropathy Center. They are so positive!

Karen Stroney, director of in-
patient physical therapy, Allied
Services Rehabilitation Hospital,
Scranton,
recently gave
a presentation
at the Penn-
sylvania Asso-
ciation of
Rehabilitation
Facilities
Convention on
how Allied
Rehab Hospital improved its
UDSMR Top Performer Scores
over the past four years, with
the last rating placing Allied in
the top one percent of rehab
facilities in the nation. The
ratings indicated that patients
get stronger at Allied in less
time, and return home rather
than a nursing facility more
often than 99 percent of rehab
hospitals surveyed. Stroney also
offered information on Allieds
EVAC sticker program for per-
sons with disabilities.
Dr. Marc S. Williams and Janet
Williams have joined Geisinger
Health System as researchers
with the Genomic Medicine
Institute. Dr. Marc Williams joins
Geisinger as a senior investiga-
tor and director of the GMI and
Janet Williams will be an In-
vestigator I. Both begin their
roles Jan. 1.
Dr. Williams will expand Geis-
ingers translational research
program in genomic medicine
and lead the recruitment of
other faculty-level investiga-
tors to the institute, with a
focus on physician and clin-
ically-trained investigators.
Dr. Williams has worked as a
consultant to the director of
the National Human Genome
Research Institute on the
integration of genomics into
healthcare and with Geis-
ingers support will explore
continuing that relationship.
As a member of the NIH-
funded eMERGE network,
created to investigate how
patients genetic information
can be used to improve their
care, Geisinger will explore
how to incorporate genetic
information in the electronic
health record. Dr. Williams will
help to lead these efforts.
Janet Williams, a genetic coun-
selor by training, will work
with payers to ensure that
each patient receives the best
genetic test. In addition to
her work with GMI, Janet
Williams will assist Geisinger
Health Plan in the devel-
opment of a system to im-
prove coverage decisions for
genetic testing and services,
and work with Geisingers
oncology department to
expand genetic services and
develop a research program.

MIAMI When U.S. Sen. Ed-
wardKennedywasdiagnosedwith
a glioblastoma of the brain in May
2009, doctors understood there
was little chance he could survive
it. He diedthat August.
Thats a malignant tumor. The
current five-year survival rate is 1
percent, says Ricardo Komotar, a
neurooncologist at Sylvester Com-
prehensive Cancer Center.
But cancer specialists from the
University of Miami Medical
School and nine other U.S. institu-
tions are well into clinical experi-
ments aimedat endingthetumors
fatal reputation.
Were not going to cure it, says
Komotar, whois alsodirector of sur-
gical neurooncologyat Universityof
Miami Hospital. Our goal is tocon-
vert it into a chronic condition like
highbloodpressure or diabetes that
youcanlivetherest of your lifewith
andliveaverynormal life.
Their weapon: a brain cancer
vaccine. Its not a preventive vac-
cinelikeafluor polioshot, givento
ward off disease. Instead, its a
therapeutic vaccine given after
the patient already has the tumor.
Its still called a vaccine because,
unlike most cancer medicines, it
doesnt attack the disease directly.
Instead, it marshalsthebodysown
immune systemtoattackit.
Thisisthefutureof cancerther-
apy,Komotarsays. Radiationand
chemotherapy fight the cancer but
they also kill normal cells, and
theyre toxic. This kills the cancer
without harmingnormal tissue.
Sheryl Shetsky, president of the
Florida Brain Tumor Association,
said the research is important be-
cause glioblastomas are 30 percent
of all brain tumors, and theyre the
most devastating tumor. Youre still
going to want radiation and chemo
for other cells youcant see. But this
canbuythepatient alot moretime.
Thenewvaccineisgivenquickly
after a patients glioblastoma is di-
agnosed, Komotar says, because
doctors need to use the excised tu-
mor tomake the vaccine.
In the treatment, surgeons re-
move the malignant tumor, then
isolate and concentrate essential
proteins from it and inject them
back into the patients arm six to
eight weeks later. The patients im-
mune system recognizes the pro-
teins as invaders, andproduces bil-
lions of T-cells, its natural attack
system, tofight it.
It reallysparks theimmunesys-
tem; it gives it a target, Komotar
says. Lots of work remains to be
done, but it is a step inthe 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
safetythat it nowhas U.SFoodand
Drug Administration approval to
beginPhase II trials for efficacy.
EveninthePhaseItrials, itgreat-
ly extended the life expectancy of
volunteers, Komotar says.
Phase II is a multicenter trial
with hundreds of patients at 10 in-
stitutions including the University
of Miami, University of California
at San Francisco, Mayo Clinic, Co-
lumbia University, University of
Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Yale
andCase Western.
If this phase is successful, Phase
III would involve many more pa-
tients andcouldresult infinal FDA
approval in three or four years, Ko-
motar says.
The University of Miami has be-
gun recruiting volunteers for the
study. Apatient must havebeendi-
agnosed by MRI with a glioblasto-
ma, but must not have started sur-
gery, chemotherapy or radiation.
Thats because study surgeons
must remove an intact tumor to
use in creating the vaccine. To vol-
unteer, call Komotar at 305-689-
2427 or 917-617-2140 or at rkomo-
tarmed.miami.edu.

PA#031715 Fully Insured
in nursing homes. By spending
time with Alzheimers 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 per-
son with Alzheimers. A lot of
people they thought were
friends disappear, said Don-
na True, a licensed clinical so-
cial worker with the local chap-
ter of the Alzheimers Associ-
ation.
True has been working with
people in support groups for 17
years. Over the years she has
seen that a diagnosis of Alz-
heimers can affect not only the
patient but the caregiver.
We see it over and over
again. People abandon people
that theyve known for a long
time, she said.
Holding a doctorate in coun-
selor education, Cail has been
volunteering for the Alzheim-
ers Association for seven years.
Her suggestions in the book
come from interviews and en-
counters with people dealing
with the disease.
Cails 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 full-
time role of caregiver.
Cail recommends that friends
avoid phrases such as: I forget
things. Everyone does. Its all
right. Or: What you said was
(witty, clever, sharp, or insight-
ful). Youre back to your normal
self.
Other unhelpful phrases in-
clude:
Have faith. Be strong.
Were not given more than we
can bear.
Youre healthy in other
ways; thats a plus.
Im sure theyll find a cure.
Try not to worry.
I dont see anything wrong
with you.
Cail calls these misguided
condolences, and says they
work against mollifying the sit-
uation. Thats because the
friend is not accepting reality,
which only increases the an-
guish of the patient.
When friends become a care-
giver, 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 boom-
ers, said Nancy Strickman
Stein, founder of Seniority Mat-
ters, a local referral network
and website (www.senoritymat-
ters.com) that strives to con-
nect patients and their loved
ones to the help they need.
Stein says much more atten-
tion is now given to the caregiv-
er, 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
youve built together, not be-
cause shes in a position to
match your hospitality, Cail
says. There are few more pow-
erful messages one friend can
give another than the promise
of presence through the bad
times as well as the good.
Some of Cails recommenda-
tions include:
Take over takeout.
Most of us who arent full-
time caregivers would gracious-
ly accept a meal we didnt have
to spend hours preparing. A
takeout meal doesnt burden
the friend with the cooking ei-
ther. But call ahead so you dont
catch your friend off guard. And
when you show up with the car-
tons of Chinese food, stick
around for dinner and offer the
promise of companionship.
Skip the money woes by decid-
ing how to handle the expense
in advance.
Visit by phone.
Dont forget the ease of pick-
ing up the phone and keeping
your friend company. Caregiv-
ers may have a hard time getting
out and socializing and, the
more sophisticated and conve-
nient ways of communicating,
the greater the despair of being
alone, Cail says.
Understand its not forever.
Acknowledge that your inter-
action with one another may
need some adjusting, recognize
that your relationship with your
friend will be different.
Dont problem solve, just lis-
ten.
Men have often been accused
of attempting to problem solve
when their significant other
isnt really looking for a solu-
tion, but rather just a listening
ear.
And the same goes for an ex-
hausted caregiver.
When the caregiver needs to
talk, dont problem solve or
moralize, Cail says, Reflect
emotion and ask nonintrusive
questions that show interest
and concern. It will be enough.

Mavis Spotts, 86, exercises during Sutters Respite and Recreation program at Twelve Bridges
Library in Lincoln, Calif. I do a little shopping and maybe a little visiting while hes there, says the
wife of one man diagnosed with Alzheimers.
Keep your friend in your life because of the rela-
tionship youve built together, not because shes in
a position to match your hospitality. There are few
more powerful messages one friend can give anoth-
er than the promise of presence through the bad
times as well as the good.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My wife
of 25 years has an an-
noying habit. When
she starts a conversa-
tion with me, shell
speak in a very low
voice and mumble
without looking at
me. I truly cannot hear or understand
what shes 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 doesnt 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? Theres
nothing wrong with her hearing.
Shes 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 cant hear
your wife when she speaks softly and
isnt looking directly at you, and she
always tells you to turn down the
TV, it could indicate that you are suf-
fering from a hearing loss.
Dear Abby: My mother is a
terrible gift-giver. At Christmas and
on birthdays she gives me ridiculous
gifts clothing that doesnt fit, jew-
elry I would never wear, electronics
I havent asked for and dont need.
Last year, she removed the tags from
everything and didnt include re-
ceipts 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.
Shell take none of my suggestions.
I try to be polite. But Moms feel-
ings are always hurt when Im 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
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
others homes. The wife has a couple
of habits I find annoying.
Shell 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
everyones enjoyment. But before this
woman leaves, shell say shes 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
shes 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 ex-
pressed how her behavior makes you
feel.

To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus

is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Anyone
who has something to teach will
gravitate toward you because
youre 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 self-
less people wont be compelled
to move forward until they know
whats in it for them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
bask in the warmth and atten-
tion of an affectionate someone.
And though its wonderful to
feel acknowledged, youll move
quickly on because theres 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). Youll use
affirmations early in the day
to improve the quality of your
thoughts on a personal level.
Youll notice immediately that
the world responds positively to
your personality.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Its not
about fitting in right now. Youll
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. Youre will-
ing to do what works, even if the
opinion leaders dont quite get it.
You would rather be hot than
cool anyway.
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 use-
less thing, too, unless youre also
willing to act on what you know.
You are! In fact, you wont hesi-
tate to follow through.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Do
not communicate your secrets to
someone because you feel com-
pelled 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 youll 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 whats
important to you, and you will
handle it well.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Nov.
29). Youll buck tradition. In
December, youll 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 imagina-
tion and artistry. Youll travel to
be with family. Cancer and Virgo
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 3, 14, 2, 40 and 18.
