EXETER TWP. -- Rescue crews and dive teams had to suspend their search for a man believed to have drowned Wednesday afternoon in the Susquehanna River near the Riverview Village Mobile Home Park. According to Exeter Township officer David Williams, a man believed to be in his late 40s went under while swimming in the river with friends around 5 p.m. Police could not release the man’s identity. Tony Balconis of West Pittston was on the river in his hydroplane boat when he heard shouts for help from the victim’s friends. “I saw someone splashing in the water,” Balconis said. “But then he went under and we couldn’t find him.” Rescue, fire and police personnel were called out from several area communities to help search the river.

DROWNING
WILKES-BARRE -- According to officials at the scene, a man and woman were unharmed after becoming separated while watching Wednesday evening’s fireworks display while kayaking on the Susquehanna River in the area of the Market Street Bridge. According to witnesses at the scene, the man was sighted in the water around 10 p.m. trying to get back into a kayak. Officials later said the man was swimming in the area of his kayak looking for the woman, whom he believed was lost in the water. Witnesses say the man left the kayak at least two times to search for the woman until crews from the Kingston Township Fire Department located her further down the river and lead her back to the Nesbitt Park boat launch area.
Continued from Page 1A
Police helicopter hovered above, but could not locate the victim. Williams said the search will resume this morning at 8. Family members and friends were gathered near the scene and were obviously upset by the situation. The large group had gathered for a Fourth of July cookout that turned into a tragedy. Chickens grilling on a large barbecue pit were gathered into a pan and covered to be put away. “I’m really quite shook up,” Balconis said. “I’m sick to my stomach.” Balconis said the river in this section varies in depth. He said it’s shallow near shore, but drops off to 8 to 10 feet and strong currents run under the surface. “If you swim in this river you should wear a life jacket,” he said. “You can still have fun.” Balconis said a man called him over and said his buddy had gone under. He said they all kept searching, but to no avail. “He must have gotten tired,” Balconis said.
Exeter Township police were first to respond. Other groups assisting at the scene included Germania Hose Company, Mount Zion Rescue, Tunkhannock Boat Rescue, Harding Police and Rescue, and police and rescue personnel from West Wyoming, Wyoming, West Pittston, Exeter Borough and Lake Winola.

The rescue boats and crews and divers entered the river from the Apple Tree boat launch and headed up river to the spot where the man was said to have been swimming. After searching for 4 ½ hours, the search was called off due to darkness and the threat of a thunderstorm.

Project coordinator Sue Greenfield said 1,200 bike helmets were available and more would be ordered if needed. Greenfield said an extra 500 to 600 helmets are ordered by the end of the day. She also noted that once a helmet has hit the ground, it is no longer safe and should be thrown away. ‘Even if the outside looks fine, the inside that absorbs the blow has been compromised and it should be tossed,’ Greenfield said. ‘That’s why we try to have this every year.’ All helmets to be distributed Wednesday were purchased from a manufacturer approved under U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standards, and each comes equipped with a user’s manual and CPSC label of certification, she said. Attorney Michelle M. Quinn, spokeswoman for HKQ Kids, said Pennsylvania law requires kids under 12 to wear helmets, but many ride their bikes without them. ‘At HKQ Kids, we want all the kids in our communities to have helmets because we know they will prevent serious injuries and save lives,’ she added.

History brought to life Battle of Wyoming is commemorated By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com
WYOMING – The wool uniforms are hot, the muzzle-loaded muskets heavy, the time in the spotlight exceptionally brief, but West Wyoming resident and Revolutionary War-era re-enactor Terry Salek puffed on his period-piece pipe and looked the epitome of equanimity. “I love the history,” Salek said as he and others from the 24th Connecticut Militia Regiment waited to fire a tribute volley during the “I always annual commemorative hunted service of the Battle of Wyoming. with a “I always hunted with a flintlock, flintlock, that’s how I met that’s how people from the 24th local unit.

Shortly after they were removed, Starr noted, a storm blew through that felled one tree and broke a branch off another near the back of the monument property. Salek and fellow re-enactor Frank Prussia of Mt. Cobb talked of the motivation that makes them give up many weekends and usually a small fortune to pursue their hobby. “Everything’s custom made.

DALLAS TWP. – A stop for a cracked windshield on Monday led to the arrest of three people on drug- and theft-related charges. Dallas Township police said they pulled over an Isuzu Rodeo for a cracked windshield obstructing the driver’s view and found drugs, cash and stolen items inside. Charged were Ramon Aziz Leonard, 25, of Madison Street, Wilkes Barre; Griffin India Lee Griffin, 19, South Wells Street, Wilkes Barre; and Anthony Ardo, 42, of Davenport Street, Dal- Leonard las, police said. Police said all were charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, criminal conspiracy and receiving stolen property. Police said officers making the stop noticed a large sum of cash on the rear passenger floor. Police also said the driver was known to officers for past drug use. Police said township police K-9 Aron’s search of the vehicle gave a positive indication on the driver’s and passenger’s rear door indicating the presence of an unknown controlled substance. A search revealed 133 packs of heroin, $1,134 in cash, several cellphones and a stolen iPad, police said. Police said Leonard initially provided a false name, and a fingerprint check revealed an active warrant. The Fulton County, Ga., Sheriff’s Office was seeking him on probation violations with original charges of burglary and related offenses, police said. Police said Leonard also was charged as a fugitive from justice and placed in the county prison in lieu of $150,000 cash bail. Police said Griffin and Ardo were released on ROR bail.

Families urged to do their duty
Parents without children in military are asked to help Iraq, Afghanistan veterans. By PAULINE JELINEK Associated Press
WASHINGTON — If you have military-age children who have not served in this decade’s wars, then you owe a debt — meaning money — to those who did. That’s the premise of a new fundraising effort by three wealthy American families who want to help U.S. veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Every non-military family should give something, they said. The affluent should give large sums. No one should think of it as charity, but rather a moral obligation, an alternative way to serve, perhaps the price of being spared the anxiety that comes with having a loved one in a war zone. “We have three able-bodied, wonderful, wonderful children, all of whom are devoted to doing very, very good things around social justice; and we could not be more proud of them,” said Philip Green, a local businessman who devised the fundraising idea. “We’re also delighted that none of them had to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan.” Green says he and his wife came to look at that as unfair: “I realized that there were parents just like me down the street, down the block ... who did not have that luxury” and were suffering sleepless nights and anxiety, “which I was able to avoid.” Green, president of health care consultancy PDG Consulting, and his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Cobbs, head of geriatrics at Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington, teamed with two other couples to start the fund-raising. Together, they donated a total of $1.1 million. Contributing with Green and Cobbs were Glenn Garland, head of Texas-based CLEAResult energy consultancy, and wife, Laurie, and Jim Stimmel, CLEAResult’s executive vice president, and wife, Patty. They hope to raise $30 million for five organizations they say are among the best at providing medical, financial and other help to veterans, active duty troops and their families. With the Fourth of July celebration approaching, they held a news conference with one of the five organizations, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). “Millions of Americans and their families have sacrificed so much in the conflicts and they have such needs,” Stimmel said. “By contrast, so many affluent Americans have not made a com-
mensurate sacrifice; and they should.” The issue of unequal national sacrifice has been a recurring theme during current and past conflicts and it always touches on at least two questions: Who serves in America and who doesn’t? What’s the responsibility of those who don’t? Most people aren’t interested in joining the military. A recent Pentagon survey shows only 18 percent of American youths say they’ll definitely or probably join, very low compared to decades ago. The culture surrounding service was transformed in part by the end of conscription and mandatory service. “Clearly, young people would prefer to be doing other things,”
said Beth Asch, a senior economist at RAND Corporation who specializes in defense manpower issues. The military also doesn’t want most Americans. It says 75 percent of the target recruit-age population of 17-24 year-olds is unqualified due to health problems (mostly related to obesity), substance histories, or too little education (no high school diploma). In the end, the Pentagon says it has assembled an armed force pretty much mirroring the society it defends. That is, major racial and ethnic groups make up about the same percentage of the military as they do the society at large. The same goes for income, except for households with the lowest and highest incomes.

No, Virginia, mermaids do not exist Government assures public there is no evidence of aquatic humanoids. By SAM WOOD The Philadelphia Inquirer
PHILADELPHIA -- The federal government last week went to unusual lengths to assure America that mermaids do not exist. Really. "No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found," asserts the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in an item posted June 27 to its website, www.NOAA.gov. But it gets stranger. Another federal agency seems to be muddying the mer-waters.
Search for BelieveInMermaids on the web, and the Department of Homeland Security appears to have seized that domain. Does the government protest too much? Just why are the Gmen suddenly interested in mermaids? NOAA’s interest, according to a spokeswoman, was spurred by a recently telecast TV show. On Memorial Day, the Animal Planet channel aired a documentary purporting to show the discovery of a real mermaid. "Mermaids: The Body Found" was the culmination of the channel’s annual Monster Week, which otherwise focused on piranhas, killer sharks and man-eating alligators. Real
creatures all. And the mermaids episode was based on fact. One fact, to be exact: In 1997 two NOAA scientists recorded a bizarre sound in the Pacific. Called "The Bloop," the sound was never identified. The rest? Well, to put it politely, it’s less than true. The faux-umentary purports to show two NOAA scientists as they go rogue, discover humanlike remains in the belly of a shark, conclude it’s a mermaid, and then are subject to a federal cover-up. Never happened, said NOAA. Then why the denial? Why post a refutation now? Short story: The documentary convinced viewers that mermaids were real.

Eating his way to the title
By ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY Associated Press
Joey Chestnut ate his way to a sixth straight win at the Fourth of July hotdog-eating contest at Coney Island on Wednesday, tying his personal best. The 28-year-old San Jose, Calif., man nicknamed ‘Jaws’ scarfed 68 hotdogs in 10 minutes to take home $10,000 and the mustard yellow belt. He bested his main rival by 16 dogs.
5 U.S. troops are wounded

The number of insider attacks against foreign forces in Afghanistan has increased this year, undermining the trust between allies and efforts to prepare Afghan troops to take over their own security as international combat troops prepare to withdraw. The U.S.-led coalition confirmed in a statement that a number of its service members were shot and wounded by a man in an Afghan army uniform Tuesday in Wardak province’s Sayed Abad district. It said Wednesday that the service members were being treated at a medical facility but did provide details.

24 hurt in casino bus crash
A casino bus careened out of control outside New York City on Wednesday, sending 24 people to the hospital with minor injuries and recalling a collision last year that killed 15 casino-goers just two miles up the road, authorities said. It appeared the driver had been going too fast for the wet conditions, said New York State police Sgt. John Maasz. The bus company, Star Tag Inc., has received four citations for unsafe driving in the last two years and every recorded inspection resulted in vehicle maintenance violations. Most recently, in May, authorities caught one of its motor coaches going at least 15 miles per hour over the speed limit, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. The bus was on an early morning route from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut to Chinatown in Queens when it struck a center median barrier on Interstate 95 in New Rochelle, veered right over three lanes, then slid about 500 feet along an outer barrier before stopping. MONTREAL
Head linked to porn actor
Montreal police confirmed Wednesday that a human head found in a park belongs to a Chinese student who they say was dismembered by a Canadian porn actor. Montreal police spokeswoman Anie Lemieux said the head belonged to Jun Lin, who was murdered and dismembered in May. Luka Magnotta is accused of dismembering his lover Lin and mailing the body parts to Canadian political parties and schools. He pleaded not guilty last month. Lin’s head was the only remaining missing body part until Sunday, when Lemieux said investigators found it in Park Angrignon after the major crimes unit received a tip. The park is a few miles south of Magnotta’s apartment. ALLENTOWN
Tenants smoke outside
Residents of public housing in one eastern Pennsylvania city will have to light up outside beginning this week as a smoking ban goes into effect, only the second such ban by a public housing authority in the commonwealth The Allentown Housing Authority’s ban, which applies to all of its more than 1,200 housing units and common areas, doesn’t bar residents from smoking but requires that they do so at least 10 feet from an entrance. An authority survey indicates that 37 percent of residents in the housing units are smokers.

‘God particle’ at last? Finding could explain mystery of why all matter has mass By JOHN HEILPRIN Associated Press
GENEVA — Scientists at the world’s biggest atom smasher hailed the discovery of “the missing cornerstone of physics” Wednesday, cheering the apparent end of a decades-long quest for a new subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, or “God particle,” which could help explain why all matter has mass and crack open a new realm of physics. First proposed as a theory in the 1960s, the maddeningly elusive Higgs had been hunted by at least two generations of physicists who believed it would help shape our understanding of how the universe began and how its most elemental pieces fit together. As the highly technical findings were an-
nounced by two independent teams involving more than 5,000 researchers, the usually sedate corridors of the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, erupted in frequent applause and standing ovations. Physicists shed tears reflecting on the decades of work that brought them to this momentous occasion. The new particle appears to share many ofthesamequalitiesastheonepredictedby Scottish physicist Peter Higgs and others and is perhaps the biggest accomplishment at CERN since its founding in 1954 outside Geneva along the Swiss-French border. Rolf Heuer, director of CERN, said the newly discovered subatomic particle is a boson, but he stopped just shy of claiming outright that it is the Higgs boson itself — an extremely fine distinction.
“As a layman, I think we did it,” he told the elated crowd. “We have a discovery. We have observed a new particle that is consistent with a Higgs boson.” The Higgs, which until now had been purely theoretical, is regarded as key to understanding why matter has mass, which combines with gravity to give an object weight. The idea is much like gravity and Isaac Newton’s early theories: Gravity was there all the time before Newton explained it. The Higgs boson was believed to be there, too. And now that scientists have actually seen something much like it, they can put that knowledge to further use. The center’s atom smasher, the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider on the SwissFrench border, sends protons whizzing in a circle at nearly the speed of light to create high-energy collisions. The aftermath of those impacts can offer clues about dark matter, antimatter and the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in amassiveexplosionknownastheBigBang.
Arafat’s underwear found to be radioactive McClatchy Tribune News Service
TEL AVIV, Israel -- A Swiss laboratory confirmed Wednesday that it found an abnormal amount of polonium-210 on a pair of underwear used by late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. His widow, Suha, charged the surprising presence of the rare, highly radioactive element was proof he was poisoned and hinted Israel was behind it. But Darcy Christen, the spokesman for the Institute of Radiology in Lausanne, which tested Arafat’s personal belongings at Suha’s request, said the symptoms Arafat suffered from, as described in his well-kept medical records, were inconsistent with polonium poisoning. Describing this as “puzzling,” he said
The Palestinian Authority said Arafat’s body, buried in Ramallah, could be exhumed. “There is no religious or political reason that prevents further investigation into this matter, including exhuming his body by a specialized and trusted party at the request and approval of his family,” said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh.

True old-fashioned Fourth: No power It was a little like the old days without electricity due to widespread blackout. By MATTHEW BARAKAT Associated Press
MOUNT VERNON, Va. — George Washington never had air conditioning, but he knew how to keep cool: a mansion with lots of windows elevated on the banks of a wide, rolling river and lots of ice cream, maybe with a little brandy. It was a little like the old days without electricity Wednesday, as the nation’s capital region
celebrated Independence Day the better part of a week into a widespread blackout that left millions of residents sweltering in 90-plus degree heat without air conditioning. Utilities have slowly been restoring service knocked out by a freak storm Friday from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic, and at least 26 people have died in the storm or its aftermath. At George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate, one of the most popular Fourth of July attractions was a demonstration of 18th-century ice cream making, one of Washington’s fa-
vorite desserts. As for beverages, Washington was no stranger to alcohol, enjoying imported Madeira wine from Portugal, distilling his own whiskey and enjoying a fruity brandy cocktail called Cherry Bounce. Up the river in Washington, President Barack Obama also attended a naturalization ceremony at the White House, this one for active service members from 17 countries. Military families were invited for a barbecue and to watch fireworks on the South Lawn. Presumptive GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
BEIRUT — An al-Qaida-inspired group claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks across Syria, the latest evidence that extremists are exploiting the chaos to make inroads in another Middle Eastern country. The Syrian regime has long blamed terrorists for the 16month-old revolt, and the presence of al-Qaida groups creates new difficulties for Arab and Western countries trying to help force President Bashar Assad from power. The opposition and the rebel Free Syrian Army deny having any links to terrorism, and say they do not have the desire or the capabilities to carry out massive suicide bombings and other alQaida-style attacks. On Tuesday, the SITE monitoring group, which tracks jihadist chatter on the Internet, said the Al-Nusra Front released statements on extremist websites in late June claiming the attacks were to avenge the killings of Syrians by the government. One of the attacks targeted a pro-regime television station in the town of Drousha, south of the capital, Damascus, on June 27. Seven people were killed in the attack on Al-Ikhbariya TV. Al-Nusra said the station is an arm of the regime and the attack sought to make the station “taste from the cup of torture” and force every member of the regime to wonder: “When will my turn come?” The statement included photos of 11 men it said were kidnapped in the attack. Al-Ikhbariya is privately owned but often acts as a regime mouthpiece. Other attacks in the latest claim of responsibility include dozens of armed raids and bombings — including suicide bombings — in Syrian cities. Little is known about Al-Nusra, although Western intelligence officials say it could be a front for a branch of al-Qaida militants from Iraq operating in Syria. The group has claimed responsibility for a string of attacks in Syria, including suicide bombings, in the past. In February, al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri called on Muslims to support Syrian rebels. “Wounded Syria is still bleeding day after day, and the butcher (Bashar Assad) isn’t deterred and doesn’t stop,” al-Zawahri said at the time. He took over al-Qaida after Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. special forces last May.

Rains dampen Colo. wildfires
Wyoming, Utah and Colorado blazes send smoke across Colorado’s Front Range. By KRISTEN WYATT Associated Press
DENVER — Rains cooled Colorado wildfires Wednesday, but more than a dozen wildfires elsewhere in the West continued chewing through bone-dry pine and brush as firefighters working through the holiday kept a nervous eye for fireworks and other hazards. Wildfires in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado sent haze and smoke across Colorado’s Front Range, prompting air-quality health advisories as firefighters warned of growing fires in sparsely populated areas. In Colorado Springs, there was good news in the fight against the most destructive fire in state history. Light rains that fell overnight helped calm the Waldo Canyon Fire, which has scorched 28 square miles, killed two and destroyed almost 350 homes. Firefighters predicted full containment of the fire by Sunday, with more rain, cooler temperatures and higher humidity predicted through the weekend. The forecast wasn’t as kind in eastern Montana, where a mammoth 380-square-mile in Custer National Forest was gobbling up pine, juniper and sage with

help from gusty winds. The fire has burned 16 homes. Firefighters gave the blaze “extreme” growth potential, with wind gusts up to 45 mph predicted. Temperatures were expected to reach the 100s. As firefighting efforts continued, holiday fireworks were canceled across the region. Colorado officials were calling off holiday displays from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs, while law enforcement was warning of hefty fines for people caught violating personal fireworks bans across the region.
Residents in some parched areas were joining police. In one Colorado Springs neighborhood, a homemade sign read, “FAIR WARNING: Anyone using or allowing use of fireworks in this neighborhood will be dealt with harshly! And that doesn’t mean just by the police!” The National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, which coordinates wildfirefighting efforts nationwide, said 45 large fires were burning Wednesday, including 36 fires in nine Western states.

Dear Reno, On July 5, 1995 you completed our family. You are our hope, our joy, our always. You touch so many lives in such positive ways. Your kind and giving heart has made the world a better place. You are the son every parent prays for, the friend everyone needs, the example everyone points to.

J. Connell, 57, of Forty Fort, was unexpectedly taken Jawayames from his loving family and
friends early Tuesday morning, July 3, 2012, at the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains Township. Jim had been courageously fighting a brief battle with cancer. Born on December 4, 1954, he was a son of the late Dennis and Jeanette Reese Connell. He was born and raised in the East End section of Wilkes-Barre. Jim was a graduate of Coughlin High School, Class of 1972. He went on to acquire his bachelor’s degree in accounting at King’s College, Class of 1976, and then earned his master’s degree in Accounting and Finance from Wilkes University in 1982. Jim was employed for 30 years at P.G. & W/PG Energy/UGI-PNG. While there, he held many different positions until reaching manager of accounting. Most recently, Jim had been working as a financial reporting analyst at the Guard Insurance Group, Wilkes-Barre, for two years. He was a member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, Swoyersville. Before consolidation, Jim was a faithful member of the Holy Name/St. Mary’s Parish Community, also in Swoyersville. He was a very active and loyal member of both the Knights of Columbus, Council No. 302, Wilkes-Barre, and Council No. 12976 in the Holy Name/St. Mary’s Parish. Throughout his years with the Knights he held various ranks, including Past Grand Knight of Council No. 12976. Jim was involved with the P.G. & W. Employees Federal Credit Union committees. He was an active participant in the PG Energy golf league. Special lunches with his “usual” lunch crew were something he truly loved. He was also an honorary member of the STRAF club, a very prestigious organization. His greatest treasure was the time he cherished with family and friends. Jim looked forward to family get-togethers, cook-outs and parties, as well as various trips he planned for his family. His favorite vacation spot was Ocean City, New Jersey, and each summer Jim enjoyed traveling to Philadelphia to see Phillies games, win or lose. When it came to sports, Jim was an avid Notre Dame football fan and had been to South Bend, Ind., on several occasions. He and his daughter were devoted Philadelphia Eagles fans in a divided Ea-

gles/Steelers household. He always wanted to hear what “the Boys” would say after every game. Jim was a strong supporter of both his children’s athletic and academic pursuits and as a very proud father, always talking about each of their accomplishments. Jim was an incredibly loving husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin, godfather and friend to so many people.

British actor, comedian dies at age of 89 The Associated Press
LONDON — Eric Sykes, the widely-acclaimed British comedy actor and writer, died Wednesday. He was 89. Sykes was one of the most popular comic actors of his generation, appearing in shows in London’s West End into his 80s. He began his career writing scripts for BBC shows, co-writ- Sykes ing 24 episodes of the classic radio comedy “The Goon Show” with the late Spike Milligan. He appeared in the “Sykes and a” sitcom about a brother and sister living together in west London, which ran in the 1960s and 1970s. He went on to write and act in theater shows and movies, including an appearance in “The Others” starring Nicole Kidman and in the Harry Potter film “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” Sykes also wrote scripts for Peter Sellers and other major British actors. Manager Norma Farnes said that Sykes died following a brief illness and was with his family when he passed away, but did give the cause of his death or specify if Sykes had been at home or in a hospital. TV star and former Monty Python member Michael Palin said Sykes was “one of the nicest, most decent men in the business and one of a kind.” “To me, he was a great inspiration, both as a writer and performer,” Palin said. Comedian Stephen Fry paid tribute on Twitter, writing: “Oh no! Eric Sykes gone? An adorable, brilliant, modest, hilarious, innovative and irreplaceable comic master. Farewell, dear, dear man.” Comedy writer Eddie Braben said Sykes was a “monumental man of comedy, an inspirational figure for those who aimed for comedy success.” He said Sykes’ death leaves “an enormous gap in the field of fun.

Obama campaigns in Ohio, Pa. Romney: Mandate is a tax ‘Betting on America’ tour takes president through communities critical to win.
Former Mass. governor switches gears in focus on court ruling on Obamacare.
By KEN THOMAS Associated Press
By KASIE HUNT Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It’s the kind of trip President Barack Obama relishes — one that plays to his natural political abilities by taking him outside of Washington to mix it up with Americans in small towns and casual settings. Obama embarks today on his first bus tour of the 2012 campaign as he seeks to pointedly stir up more questions about rival Mitt Romney’s business record and subtly contrast himself with a Republican opponent who has struggled to connect with voters. Dubbed the “Betting on America” tour, the two-day swing will take him through several northern Ohio communities that were critical to his 2008 win in the state and then to Pennsylvania for an event in Pittsburgh. Obama won both states four years ago but Romney and Republicans are competing hard to win them. The president will campaign in the both states as the nation’s latest monthly job-creation assessment is released. Each state had an unemployment rate of 7.3 percent in May, below the national average of 8.2 percent. Four months before the election, polls show Obama slightly leading Romney nationally and in several states that are critical in the hunt to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win the Nov. 6 election. The race is close despite a topsy-turvy June that included the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Obama’s health care law and its split decision on Arizona’s 2010 immigration law. The president’s trip kicks off a new phase of his re-election campaign as he ratchets up his retail campaigning this summer before the September convention in Charlotte, N.C. Underscoring the stakes, Obama is forgoing his traditional summer vacation to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., to focus on
WOLFEBORO, N.H. — Mitt Romney on Wednesday said requiring all Americans to buy health insurance amounts to a tax, contradicting a senior campaign adviser who days ago said the Republican presidential candidate viewed President Barack Obama’s mandate as anything but a tax. “The majority of the court said it’s a tax and therefore it is a tax. They have spoken. There’s no way around that,” Romney told CBS News. “You can try and say you wish they had decided a different way but they didn’t. They concluded it was a tax.” Romney’s comments amounted to a shift in position. Earlier in the week, senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said Romney viewed the mandate as a penalty, a fee or a fine — not a tax. The Supreme Court last week ruled that the mandate to buy health insurance is constitutional because it can be considered a tax. The requirement is part of the broad health care overhaul that Obama signed into law in March 2010. An identical requirement was part of the state health care law that Romney enacted when he was governor of Massachusetts. “The governor believes that what we put in place in Massachusetts was a penalty and he disagrees with the court’s ruling that the mandate was a tax,” Fehrnstrom said Monday on MSNBC. The law he signed as governor in 2006 moved Massachu-

the campaign, though he spent a long weekend at the Camp David presidential retreat. Romney, in turn, was spending the entire week relaxing with his family at his lakeside estate in Wolfeboro, N.H., where he’s been seen taking his grandchildren for ice cream, jet skiing with his wife and playing volleyball with his five sons. It’s a personal side of him the public has rarely seen during two primary campaigns in which he sometimes came off as awkward and forced, making clear that retail campaigning is not his strong suit. Obama, conversely, is a charismatic campaigner who tends to easily connect with his audiences and draw energy from voters in diverse venues, from big rallies to roadside diners. The president’s bus tour follows a six-state bus trip by Romney through the Midwest last month that included stops in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Recent polls by Quinnipiac University found that Obama held a 9-percentage-point lead over Romney in Ohio, and a 6-point lead in Pennsylvania. No Republican has ever won the presidency without Ohio, making it a firewall for

Obama. Pennsylvania also gives the Democratic president a large 900,000-vote registration advantage over Republicans. Both sides are competing hard in the states. The president’s campaign has spent nearly $16 million in television advertising in Ohio through late June while the Democratic super PAC Priorities USA Action has spent about $2.7 million, according to officials who track ad buys. Romney’s campaign has spent about $5 million but a series of GOPleaning outside groups have spent another $8 million, helping the Republican blunt Obama’s message. The president’s itinerary takes him across the northern, manufacturing belt of Ohio that has felt the recession’s sting perhaps more acutely than other parts of the state. It includes stops at a museum complex in Maumee that gives visitors a sense of life in the early 19th century, an ice cream social in a park in Sandusky and an event at a park in Parma, a suburb of Cleveland.

es on middle-class families by putting the mandate in place. In the week since the Supreme Court ruling, Republicans have criticized Obama by pointing to the tax and accusing him of raising taxes. Democrats, meanwhile, have been eager to accuse Romney of also raising taxes in Massachusetts. They cite a 2009 opinion piece in which Romney wrote that Massachusetts “established incentives for those who were uninsured to buy insurance.” In the piece, he acknowledged that the requirement amounted to a tax: “Using tax penalties, as we did ... encourages ‘free riders’ to take responsibility for themselves.” Romney’s comments to CBS came in an interview conducted in Wolfeboro before he marched in the town’s Fourth of July parade, holding hands with his wife, Ann. He also was joined by New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a possible candidate for a running mate.

setts toward universal coverage and became a blueprint for Obama’s overhaul. But Romney has spent much of the presidential campaign shying away from talking about it, preferring instead to keep voters focused on the slow recovery under Obama. Both measures require individuals to have health insurance, mandate that businesses offer health care to their employees and provide subsidies or exemptions for people who can’t afford it. Both also impose penalties on people who can afford health insurance but don’t pay for it. Yet despite calling Obama’s mandate a tax, Romney insisted that the court ruling did not mean that he raised taxes as governor of Massachusetts. He said Chief Justice John Roberts was clear in the court’s 5-4 ruling that states have the power to mandate purchases using mechanisms other than taxes. Romney also said Obama broke his promise not to raise tax-

A
N ON-TIME state budget with no tax increases and a critical business-bolstering tax cut is nothing to sneeze at. But that doesn’t mean everything is hunky-dory with Pennsylvania’s fiscal 2013 spending blueprint. Make no mistake, there’s lots to applaud in the $27.7 billion plan. Think of the $300 million in business tax cuts. Think of a 20-county pilot program to better allow counties to meet their social service needs. But an increase in tax collections was no reason to reverse proposed and necessary cuts to higher education. The specter of those cuts actually forced colleges and universities to begin tightening their belts in earnest. The shillelagh sheathed, so to speak, does anyone not expect business to

While some necessary and commonsense requirements for investment and job creation have been added, one is still forced to ask why tax dollars are being treated as venture capital and taxpayers as something of an insurance kitty for an industry that is being billed as the be-all and end-all of a new industrial revolution. Additionally, a 43 percent increase to cover public school pensions is a red-flag warning on the highest mast. And while we’ll join with others in lauding the overall budget effort, we’ll caution that the time is now to start planning for the tough choices that must be made for fiscal 2014.

City gov’t tanks when it comes to doing valid math SO IT turns out Wilkes-Barre city government’s way of keeping tabs on the use of its gas and diesel fuel is to create a vapor trail. Want to know who is using how much gas driving where? Follow that tailpipe, because city records are as useful as a fuel gauge on a Big Wheel. When I started helping reporter Terrie Morgan-Besecker crunch the numbers for her exposé in Sunday’s edition about the city’s fuelish ways, I figured it would be a few quick calculations in Excel: Compare daily readings of the storage tanks with daily logs of how much gas and diesel were pumped out of those tanks. The amount in the tank should drop by the total that was pumped out each day. If they weren’t equal, there would be a daily tally of how much fuel was unaccounted for. Except … There weren’t fuel tank readings for every day; logs showing how much fuel had been pumped out had similar gaps; when fuel was added to the storage tanks, there was no way to know how much had been added, making it impossible to reconcile any numbers from those days; and there were log entries that didn’t say whether the fuel drawn from the tanks was gas or diesel. So you had days with no numbers, days with only half the numbers and days with useless numbers. There were some days for which our calculations suggested gas actually had been pumped from the vehicles into the storage tank. It would be comical if you were making, say, a Marx Brothers movie. Groucho: “According
MAIL BAG
MARK GUYDISH COMMENTARY to these records, you pumped fuel into your car, but made the amount in our tank go up. Any idea how that happened?.” Chico: “Oh, that’s an easy one. I drove in reverse all day.” By the time Terrie crunched all the numbers, she had nearly 18,000 unaccounted gallons in less than seven months. That’s enough for Mayor Tom Leighton to drive his Chevy Traverse – rated at 17 mpg city – around town for 1,052 miles – which, incidentally, would only get Leighton through three to five months of car travel. He told Terrie he drives “200 to 300 miles a month.” Leighton insisted that he saves the city money by driving his own car fueled by city gas, rather than charging the going rate of 55 cents per mile. “Do the math,” he said, “it’s cheaper.” Great, let’s do that math! City records show that Leighton drove zero miles because he doesn’t submit mileage reports, and that he pumped zero gallons out of the city fuel tanks because he doesn’t follow city policy and log how many gallons he takes when he uses the pump. So as far as we can tell, all his driving has cost us nothing! Told of the vast difference between storage tank readings and pump logs, Leighton seemed to think the city’s vapor trail should have been more accurate. “I’m surprised at the amount of the discrepancy,” he said. Perhaps he figured the discrepancy should have been only the fuel he pumped out but didn’t log. Let’s do that math.
If Leighton drives 200 to 300 miles a month and we give his Chevy Traverse an average efficiency of 20 mpg for a mix of highway and city miles, his failure to log the gas he pumps out of city storage tanks would account for 10 to 15 gallons worth of discrepancy a month. Terrie’s numbers showed the city was averaging nearly 2,500 gallons of discrepancy a month. So the mayor’s surprise at the “amount” of the discrepancy is understandable; who would have thought so many other people apparently were following his lead and taking fuel from the tank without logging how much? But being surprised at the amount of the discrepancy requires actually calculating the discrepancy, and that’s the biggest inanity of it all. The city never even bothered to reconcile pump log records with tank readings. Even after it became clear this fiasco could cost the city thousands of dollars if the feds launch an investigation, city Administrator Marie McCormick voiced utter faith in the vapor trail. Without a scrap of paperwork, she said the city could reconstruct fuel use. “For instance, we know we have ‘x’ number of packers and we know how often they are used. We could estimate how much gas you would need in them,” suggested McCormick. “There would be those types of things we could prove.” I might be an old fuddy-duddy stickler for asking, but ask I must: When did pulling imaginary numbers out of seven-month-old exhaust fumes become “proof”?

ummer is here and the living is easy. Gasoline prices are down to where they were a year ago, so enjoy because it is an election year and they will go up right after the election. Now for a few questions and an observation. Mr. Mitt Romney, it’s not up to the president to create jobs; that’s what corporations are supposed to do to make money. Also, Mr. Romney, why are you and the Republican-led Congress against the president’s plan for the rich to pay the same amount of taxes as the rest of Americans? For Pennsylvania politicians: Why, again, did the Republican politicians block a vote to eliminate school property taxes by raising the sales tax by one penny? In November I will vote out anyone who does not vote to eliminate property taxes or raise taxes on the rich. Leonard Gorto Dallas
Instead of complaining, try investing in America

’m sick of people complaining about the debt, jobs, Obama and health care. First, the debt in this country has to do with the Federal Reserve; as soon as it lends out money, it’s loaned with interest, so in turn we will never get out of debt. Even if we gave back all the money in circulation, we still would be in debt. Also, Americans like things cheap so we shop at Walmart, where we don’t care

where things were made. Solution: Start buying things made in America. Another thing that drives me crazy is the issue of foreign cars. You live in America; drive an American car. I hear people say, “But they are giving people here jobs.” That’s true, but where does the bulk of the money go when you buy a foreign car? Back to China, Japan, Korea and other nations. So if you’re driving a foreign car, you have no right to complain about the economy. That brings me to health care. Prisoners have better health care than me (with three jobs). How does that even make sense? Some people say: “It’s going to turn into Canada; we will be waiting forever for care.” My mother went to the emergency room the other day and waited eight hours. So it already has. People with no insurance get care and never pay the bill, so that raises rates for everyone else. So if everyone had health care, our rates actually would be lower!

embers of the Mountain Top American Legion carried the colors in Wednesday’s 25th annual Mountain Top on the Move July 4th Parade. Gene Haverlak, president of Mountain Top on the Move, said the grand marshal for this year’s parade was Jenna Neubauer, 19, who was honored for her “Vets to D.C. Project.” Neubauer, a King’s College freshman partnered with the Mountain Top American Legion Post 781 in April to take 100 veterans to Washington, D.C. This is the second year Neubauer organized bus trips the Washington for veterans. Also honored in the parade were Sherri and Carrie Kline, who were noted for their outstanding work on raising money for the Wounded Warriors Project that helps wounded soldiers returning from Afghanistan. Haverlak estimated 1,000 people participated in the march.

es indicates that 91 percent of the commonwealth’s 8.2 million registered voters have PennDOT identification numbers. “This thorough comparison of databases confirms that most Pennsylvanians have acceptable photo ID for voting this November,” department secretary Carol Aichele said in a news release. Officials noted that the review wouldn’t identify voters who may have other acceptable forms of ID. Department officials had said previously that they believed that 99 percent of Pennsylvania voters already had the photo ID they will need at the polls in November. In Philadelphia, 186,830 registered voters — 18 percent of the city’s total registration — do not have PennDot ID, The Philadelphia Inquirer said. The new law requires all voters to show photo ID such as a driver’s license or nondriver PennDOT photo ID, U.S. passports, student identification cards with expiration dates, current military identification, or ID cards issued to government employees. Officials also noted that of the 758,939 voters who lacked PennDOT identification numbers, 167,566 are inactive voters, most of whom haven’t voted in the last four years.

and they knew what to expect. “The fireworks are going to be awesome,” Craig said. The Forty Fort borough councilman said he has come to Kirby Park every year for years for the show. “It’s absolutely required for the community,” he said. “I’ve been coming here since I was 2 – I’ve never missed it.” Sparklers were being waved by toddlers and people deep in the crowd were shouting to friends trying to find their location. Pat and Karen Simmers of Kingston returned to the celebration for the first time in a few years. Their son, Andrew, turned 7 on July 1 and the family usually celebrated it on the fourth. But this year, with the holiday falling in the middle of the week, Andrew’s birthday was on the weekend. “This is a great turnout,” Simmers, 32, said. “It’s a really great community event.” With the Simmers’ family were Arie and Kristen Van Kuyk of Kingston. They had their two children – Lizzy, 21 months, and Lilly, 9 months. To get the kids used to fireworks, they had a small display Tuesday night and the kids loved them. “I hope they enjoy what they’re going to see tonight,” Van Kuyk, 28, said. Dolores Miller, Mahanoy City, and Anna Marie Halupa and Karl Krone of Ringtown, made the trip because they heard the Wilkes-Barre fireworks show was one of the best. They were all decked out in their patriotic red, white and blue hats and shirts. “I’ve been to the area before and it’s beautiful,” Miller said.

“The organizers really put a lot of effort into this. It’s great to see all of the patriotism here. Everybody should wave our flag and let her colors fly.”
In the middle of the crowd “Justincredible” – 16-year-old magician Justin Davis of Plymouth – was making balloon animals and hats for children.
“I try to meet everyone’s requests,” he said. “But sometimes they challenge me.” A Martz Trailways bus was in the middle of the park and two school buses dropped off groups for the fireworks show. “It’s an amazing turnout,” said Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administrative coordinator. “This speaks volumes for what the city can do to celebrate the nation’s birthday.” Leighton made another announcement – this one warning the crowd that a thunderstorm was anticipated and could delay the fireworks. Some people packed up their chairs and blankets and headed for their vehicles. Izabela and Brian Cohen and their son, Max, 16, were hurrying to get to shelter. “I’m terrified of thunder and lightning,” Izabela said. “We’re going to our car. Hopefully, the storm won’t hit and we’ll be back to watch the show.” People from throughout the region braved the threat of a storm and were treated to a spectacular show. Many defied the city’s “no dogs allowed” rule, but no incidents were reported. The event was sponsored by the Luzerne County Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Martz Group, The Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, Price Chopper, Frontier Communications, Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services and the city of Wilkes-Barre. Chuck Peterman Sr. was sitting on his front porch on Second Avenue, Kingston, with neighbors and family and his dog, Rebel, a black Labrador retriever. “This is the best seat in the house,” Peterman, 78, said. “I’ve been watching fireworks from here all of my life. It’s the best vantage point.” And Peterman had the cover of his front porch in case of rain.
ed,” Cartwright said, sipping coffee Thursday inside the Barnes & Noble Downtown Joint Student Book Store after speaking at a rally against Gov. Tom Corbett’s state budget. “People who go in the voting booth still have free will.” Since beating Holden, D-St. Clair, Cartwright has received a congratulatory call from Vice President Joe Biden, hosted a fundraiser featuring House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and taken the family on a vacation to Long Beach Island, N.J. And much has happened in Washington, as well. On Thursday, the Supreme Court upheld The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. Cartwright got the news during the interview and proclaimed, “It’s a great day in America.” He said while he has been in favor of the overall law and what it does, he did not feel it went far enough. He said if elected, he will “work to strengthen” the act. President Barack Obama also issued an executive order that will make about 800,000 young people who were brought to the United States illegally as children safe from deportation proceedings, and may make them eligible for renewable two-year work permits. The order deepened the divide between the Republicans in Congress and the Democratic president. While Cartwright said the president is “within his rights, it’s an executive branch function, I reserve the right to criticize future actions.” He said he’s not for granting amnesty, but he’s also not for

His immigration order, halting deportation of many illegals and offering two-year work visas for about 800,000 undocumented residents, “is outrageous,” Cummings said. “It’s unbelievable that he did it. It can’t stand … It’s appalling that he does the things that he does but it’s not surprising.” One of the founders of the Scranton Tea Party, Cummings said linking Cartwright to Oba-

. “Our experience is, a lot of these people are former college students who don’t live here anymore,” department spokesman Ron Ruman told the newspaper. He said the survey may also have missed some voters who actually do have a PennDOT ID. Republicans who advocated the law portray it as an effort to curb voter fraud, although Democratic critics charge that there’s no evidence of such fraud. They say the law — one of the toughest in the nation — is a thinly veiled effort to suppress the vote for President Barack Obama in a key battleground state in the fall election and argued that it would discriminate against elderly, poor and minority voters. Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson has scheduled a July 25 hearing on a challenge to the law, and an appeal could reach the state Supreme Court before November. Philadelphia’s top election official, City Commission Chair Stephanie Singer, told the newspaper that the figures reinforced her view that the law was intended to decrease voter turnout in the predominantly Democratic city. She said Philadelphia “is hit much harder by this than any of the other counties.” Nine other counties — Allegheny, Cameron, Centre, Cumberland, Delaware, Lackawanna, Lawrence, Montour, and Union — were reported to have 10 percent to 12 percent of their voters without PennDOT ID, the paper said.

rounding up illegals and deporting them. “This is America. We don’t put 12 million human beings in boxcars and ship them to the coast to be put on freighters. We don’t do that in this country,” Cartwright said. Cartwright called the president’s order “a stop-gap measure. I’m not thrilled with it” but it moves the issue ahead until Congress can come together to do the same. Cartwright does not share the president’s opinion on gay marriage, which Obama recently said he supports. Cartwright said his views are evolving too, but “with respect to gay marriage, I’m not there yet. I’m very old school and old-fashioned,” he said, noting he favors civil unions. “I’m not saying I’ll never get there.” Looking to the next few months, Cartwright has to finish transitioning cases at the law firm where he’s a partner to other attorneys and then focus full time on the November election and the campaigning that precedes it. While he laughs when asked if he has selected district office locations yet, he admits looking into leasing an RV that could be used as a mobile district office. Noting that a lot of constituents in the district would have to travel great distances no matter where a district office was located, he said a mobile office would bring staffers and information to residents.

She set a campaign goal of raising $400,000 by September – “you’re gotta aim high,” she said – and noted her committee’s coffers have about $5,500 as of Friday. Her past few weeks have been spent “fundraising, fundraising, fundraising” and her next few months will be spent doing a lot of the same and meeting voters and party leaders throughout the district.

OPINION
Time for him to pick Phillies off the ground
C
rumpled outside the batters box after making last season’s final out, Ryan Howard’s grimace became the face of the Philadelphia Phillies’ 2011 collapse. Can he lift the team’s hopes again, or at least the town’s spirit? Signs of such a scenario are starting to appear at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, where Howard launched his first home run and drove home four runs Tuesday during a minor league rehabilitation assignment. That’s the type of production the struggling Phillies sorely need. They never got back up after Howard went down with a torn left Achilles tendon he suffered while grounding out to end a first-round 2011 playoff series with the eventual world champion St. Louis Cardinals. Since then, the five-time National League East champion Phillies have fallen into last place, crippled by an inept offense that’s left them 10 games under .500 and 12 games behind first-place Washington in the division. A few hits from Howard can change that fast. Since becoming the Phillies regular first baseman in 2006, Howard has never hit less than 31 homers and 23 doubles in a season, and has driven home at least 108 runs during each of the past six years. He’s beginning to work his way back to his old form while recover from an Achilles injury that’s taking an eternity to heal. Howard hammered a pitch from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees starter John Maine the opposite way Tuesday, shooting a rocket over the left field wall for a two-run homer and his first long ball in six minor league rehab games. “I felt better,” Howard said afterward, “put a couple balls in play, obviously had the home run.” He had a hit just as big later in the game, rifling a two-run single that went whistling past Yankees first baseman Russell Branyan to give Lehigh Valley a 4-1 lead. He looked pretty steady in the field, too, playing seven innings at first base for Lehigh Valley respectably, if not completely fluidly. The ankle still makes him limp now and again. “Just trying to get reads,” said Howard, who was out of Lehigh Valley’s lineup Wednesday. “Felt good, had a couple balls hit to me. A lot of it’s just getting used to the game speed, getting reads, getting my feel and getting back defensively. Hitting-wise, it’s settling in and getting all the nerves out.” Phillies fans are getting nervous looking at the standings at the season’s halfway point. But No. 3 hitter Chase Utley returned from his knee troubles last week, and Howard is on his way back to the lineup, maybe even before next week’s All-Star break. With is two big hits Tuesday, Howard raised his Triple-A rehab batting average from .167 to .333. And the jolts he is beginning to provide at Lehigh Valley would look big to a Phillies team that began a series against the New York Mets with an 11-1 loss at Citi Field. Think of how a few timely hits from Howard can change Philadelphia’s fortunes, the way his bat helped bang out victories for Lehigh Valley during two straight nights. “It was good,” Howard said. “Just kind of been trying to make adjustments. I’m really just trying to get my legs going. My legs got stuck in a neutral phase.” His big league team seems stuck in reverse without him. With Howard, they may just have a chance to get up off the ground. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Jemile Weeks hit a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh following Coco Crisp’s leadoff triple, and the Oakland Athletics completed a three-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox with a 3-2 win Wednesday. Red Sox slugger David Ortiz hit his 400th career home run and scored on Adrian Gonzalez’s sixth-inning single. Grant Balfour (2-2) went 12⁄3 innings for the win as the A’s (41-42) moved within one game of .500 for the first time since they were 22-23 on May 23. Lone A’s All-Star Ryan Cook finished with a 1-2-3 ninth for his eighth save in 11 chances. Indians 12, Angels 3
CLEVELAND — Derek Lowe won for the first time in more than a month and the Cleveland Indians beat the Los Angeles Angels. Lowe (8-6) gave up three runs and 11 hits in six innings for his first win in six starts since June 1. The 39-year-old right-hander was 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in five outings between victories.

SEATTLE — Chris Tillman gave up just two hits in 81⁄3 innings in first start of 2012 and Adam Jones hit his 20th home run of the season for Baltimore. Jones’ homer leading off the second inning came on a 2-0 pitch from Seattle starter Hector Noesi (2-11) and landed well back in the upper level seats.

TORONTO — Carlos Villanueva pitched six shutout innings, Yunel Escobar drove in two runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals. Every Blue Jays starter had at least one hit as Toronto won for the fourth time in six games.

Marlins acquire slugger Lee PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Houston Astros traded slugger Carlos Lee to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for a pair of prospects. The Astros acquired third baseman Matt Dominguez and left-handed pitcher Rob Rasmussen in the deal. The 36year-old Lee Lee spent fiveplus seasons with the Astros and is hitting .287 with five homers and 29 RBI in 65 games this year. Houston manager Brad Mills removed Lee in the seventh inning of a 6-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Lee’s locker was already empty by the time the clubhouse opened after the game. The right-hander gives the Marlins a veteran hitter as they try to get back into the race in the NL East. First base has been a problem for Miami this season.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L 1904 — The Philadelphia Phillies snapped the New York Giants’ 18-game winning streak with a 6-5 10-inning victory. 1935 — Tony Cuccinello of the Dodgers and his brother Al — for the Giants — each hit home runs in the same game to mark the first time in major league history that brothers on opposing teams connected for homers. Brooklyn beat New York 14-4. 1937 — Hal Trosky hit three home runs to pace the Cleveland Indians to a 14-4 victory over the St. Louis Browns in the opener of a doubleheader. 1937 — Frank DeMaree of Chicago went 6-for-7 in the first game of a doubleheader, in which the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 13-12 in 14 innings. DeMaree had three doubles and three singles. The Cubs won the second game 9-7 and DeMaree had two more singles. 1947 — Larry Doby became the first black to play in the American League. He struck out as a pinch-hitter as Cleveland lost 6-5 to the White Sox. 1961 — Bill White hit three home runs and a double to power the St. Louis Cardinals to a 9-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. 1987 — Mark McGwire became the first rookie to hit 30 homers before the All-Star break and Jose Canseco homered twice, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 6-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox. 1991 — The Colorado Rockies and the Florida Marlins were given final approval by baseball owners with a unanimous vote to join the NL in 1993. 1993 — Rickey Henderson of the Oakland Athletics opened both games of a doubleheader with a homer to become the second player to accomplish the feat. Harry Hooper of the Boston Red Sox homered to start both games against Washington on May 30, 1913. 1998 — Roger Clemens became the 11th pitcher in baseball history to notch 3,000 strikeouts. Clemens needed five strikeouts to reach the 3,000 mark before Toronto’s game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He struck out Quinton McCracken and Wade Boggs in the first inning and then got Mike DiFelice, Miguel Cairo and Randy Winn in the third to reach the milestone. 1998 — Juan Gonzalez became the second player to top 100 RBIs before the All-Star break, homering in the first and seventh innings off Seattle’s Randy Johnson to improve his major league-leading total to 101. Gonzalez ended with the second-most RBIs before the All-Star break in major league history. Hank Greenberg of the Detroit Tigers had 103 in 1935 en route to 170. 2000 — Luis Gonzalez became the first player in franchise history to hit for the cycle as Arizona beat Houston 12-9. 2004 — Eric Gagne’s streak of 84 consecutive saves ended when he blew a two-run lead for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who came back to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 in 10 innings. Gagne relieved with a 5-3 lead at the start of the ninth but allowed pinch-hitter Luis Gonzalez’s RBI double and Chad Tracy’s run-scoring single on an 0-2 pitch. Gagne had not blown a save chance since Aug. 26, 2002. 2005 — Boston’s Manny Ramirez hit his 20th grand slam in a 7-4 win over Texas, passing Eddie Murray for sole possession of second place on the career list. Lou Gehrig hit 23. Today’s birthdays: Marco Estrada 29; Jesse Crain 31.

Millar selected for Britain
LONDON — David Millar has been selected for the British Olympic cycling team, joining sprinter Dwain Chambers and shot putter Carl Myerscough as former doping offenders who have had life Olympic bans overturned to compete in their home games. The 35-year-old Millar was one of five British men named for the 155-mile road race at the London Games. Mark Cavendish, Chris Foome, Ian Stannard and Bradley Wiggins were the others. Like Chambers and Myerscough, who were named in the athletics team on Tuesday, Millar served an international suspension for a doping offense but had his lifetime ban by the British Olympic Association overturned at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in April. Millar will be competing in his first Olympics.

The Minnesota Wild were a starless team in need of a big-time jolt to get the franchise back to the point of being worthy of playing in “the State of Hockey.” The jolts don’t come any bigger than this. The Wild landed not one but both of the NHL’s top prizes in free agency, signing forward Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter on Wednesday. Each deal is for 13 years and $98 million, according to three people familiar with the contracts who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity
because the team did not release details. “WE GOT ‘EM!” the Wild announced on their Twitter account early Wednesday afternoon, sending shockwaves across the league and through a devoted fan base that was starting to show signs of apathy after missing the playoffs for a fourth straight season. Parise, the former New Jersey Devils playmaker, and Suter, who paired with Shea Weber on the Nashville blue line, were regarded the cream of what was a thin free agent crop, and each had spent the past four days poring over numerous offers from several teams be-

The Wild have had a relatively non-descript existence aside from one stirring run to the Western Conference finals in their second season. One person said that the breakdown of the contracts is exactly the same, with both players getting $12 million in each of the first two years. The deals then go down in value, with each player making $1 million in both 2023-24 and 202425. With one fell swoop, the Wild

Woods looks to keep rolling
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — A short ride to Sam Snead’s playground in West Virginia is what Tiger Woods considers a good way to get ready for the British Open. Woods is coming off a win at the AT&T National last week and traveled 250 miles for his debut Thursday in the Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia. The quick trip helped make Woods’ decision to compete in the tournament easy, coupled with memories of the late Snead’s stories about his 47-year association with the resort. Woods says Snead used to tell him how much he loved coming to The Greenbrier. The place might grow on Woods, too, if he can get his fourth victory of the season on the Old White TPC Course and move within seven of Snead’s record 82 PGA Tour wins. TENNIS
Hall of Fame investigates claim of sex abuse
JOHANNESBURG — A South African attorney who represents women who accuse a tennis champion of sexually abusing them when they were girls has welcomed moves by the International Tennis Hall of Fame to investigate Bob Hewitt. Peter van Niekerk, speaking to The Associated Press Wednesday, added that he and some of the women he represents already have spoken with a Boston attorney the U.S.-based Hall hired to investigate the allegations. The inquiry could result in expulsion or suspension from the Hall for Hewitt, who played in the 1960s and 1970s and was inducted into the Hall in 1992. Attempts to reach the Australianborn Hewitt, who lives in South Africa, were not immediately successful. Van Niekerk became involved in the case because he also is a director of a South African organization that lobbies on behalf of child abuse victims.

PARIS — Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah will not play for France at the London Olympics because of the left ankle injury sustained during the NBA playoffs. Noah told L’Equipe he was “absolutely not ready. Not ready to run, not ready to jump.” The 12 players who will represent France are to be announced Thursday.

Illinois brothers on U.S. rowing team By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer
OAKLAND, Calif. — From their early days as bouncing Boy Scouts to the demanding journey of becoming Eagle Scouts, to their days as national champion shooters and, eventually, top-notch college rowers each studying engineering, twins Grant and Ross James have always taken parallel paths in life. Both knew that could end as they chased their Olympic dream. One might make it, while the other stayed home. Then, Ross landed the last seat in the U.S. eight boat that captured the final spot in the eight-country Olympic field. They’re off to London as Olympic teammates, rowing in neighboring seats to boot. “We’ve had a lot of similar experiences,” said Ross, who is four minutes younger. “We’ve been doing a lot of things throughout our life together and we’ve accomplished a lot of things together, so it’s nice to continue that trend of being with your twin brother. I like to think of him like another teammate. It’s tough, because we won’t always be in the same boat or the same situations.” For now, they’re thrilled with this rare opportunity — and so is their proud mother, Cindy Warren-James, who raised them on her own. Had things gone differently just a few months back, the brothers wouldn’t be together now. As the final spot came down to Ross and another rower in late April, Grant excused himself when the rest of the athletes gave their nominations for who should make the boat. “The last couple days it was between myself and another rower for the very last seat in the boat, so that’s when it came down to, would both of us go or not?” Ross recalled. “It’s not easy. The whole five months wasn’t
sons passed her up in height in fourth grade. “As a parent, you know that things don’t just happen. You have to have a plan. The plan was always to surround them with good people and find good activities that brought a lot of value that helped them learn about themselves. They had lots of chances to try things and with that they learned a lot about themselves.” These two were on the boat that failed to qualify for the Olympics at last year’s world championships in Slovenia, forcing the Americans to win the final qualifying regatta at Lucerne, Switzerland, in May to earn the last Olympic spot. That was a first in the modern Olympic era that US Rowing hadn’t secured a place for the boat at worlds. Both were determined to do their part the next time. Known for cooking staples such as large casseroles and homemade chili in the Bay Area Grant James Olympic rower home shared by the nine athletes, they always make more than enough to fuel their enormous appetites.

If at that stage you can handle that level of stress, at the Olympics it’s going to be an even higher level of stress.

A man who once led the NCAA’s committee on infractions says the college sports governing body should not bring severe sanctions on Penn State related to the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Gene A. Marsh, who served on the NCAA Division I infractions committee from 1999 through 2008, and chaired the committee from 2004 to 2006, said he believes there are two reasons the NCAA should essentially stay out of the Penn State situation: • The charges of which Sandusky was convicted, although horrific, likely do not fall under the purview of the NCAA, which typically reserves its attention for allegations of academic fraud or efforts to gain an unfair competitive advantage. • Once Penn State goes through the criminal and civil proceedings associated with the case, there would be little to be gained from the NCAA adding another layer of punishment. Marsh said even the apparent coverup of Sandusky’s actions - as reportedly shown through emails circulated by top Penn State officials - should go through the criminal courts before the NCAA would get involved. “I think they ought to leave this one alone, based on the facts,” said Marsh, who is of counsel with the Birmingham, Ala., law firm of Lightfoot, Franklin and White. “Penn State is obviously going to be held accountable from A to Z,” Marsh said in a telephone interview. “Every bit of that towel will be wrung out.” Marsh represented former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel in his dealings with the NCAA after the Buckeyes’ 2010 tattoo scandal. He said if the NCAA handed down punishment to Penn State after the criminal cases and the lawsuits play out, it would be “like shooting road kill.” Heavy sanctions against the Penn State football team would ripple financially across all of the university’s sports programs. Penn State’s 2011-12 budget has football generating more than $50.5 million in revenue against $10.4 million in football-related expenses. Men’s basketball will bring in about $6.3 million in revenue versus $3.3 million in costs. No other sports teams are profitable, and so are dependent on football for their survival, the budget data show. The NCAA could take no action, or could impose penalties such as the loss of scholarships, banishment from bowl games or the extreme step of imposing the “death penalty” - shutting down the football program for a period of time. Only once has the NCAA imposed that punishment on a football team, against the Southern Methodist University program in 1987 for extensive and repeated recruiting violations. Penn State spokesman David La Torre said it is “far too early” for anyone in the athletics department to discuss hypothetical NCAA actions.

ALLENTOWN -- On a night typically celebrated with fireworks, Brandon Laird made some of his own. And they helped the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees finally light up the skies at Lehigh Valley. For the second straight night Laird launched a homer, Russell Branyan added another bomb and the Yankees out-slugged Ryan Howard-less Lehigh Valley, 8-5 in an Independence Day game at Coca-Cola Park. For Laird and the Yankees, breaking a four-game losing streak as a road team in Lehigh Valley was almost better than a backyard cookout. “I thought about that,” said Laird, a California native. “Today was a good day to hit. My family’s at home barbequeing, having a good time. I get to call my dad and tell him I had a pretty good day.” His day began with a bang,

He followed Ronnier Mustelier’s single and Branyan’s walk in the third inning with a three-run rocket over the right-field wall, giving the Yankees a 6-1 lead. “The last few games I’ve been seeing the ball pretty well,” said Laird, whose third-inning blast was his sixth homer of the season and came on the heels of his homer in Tuesday night’s onerun loss to Lehigh Valley. “I’m being patient, trying to put good,

have to consider that in my decision.” Thiessen was an unrestricted free agent this summer and seemed destined for another organization after Pittsburgh traded for and signed veteran Tomas Vokoun to be Marc-Andre Fleury’s backup for the next two seasons. With the first two goaltending spots locked up, it made sense for Thiessen to look elsewhere for an NHL shot. “Obviously I was disappointed when (Vokoun) signed. We wall want opportunities to play in the NHL and that kind of solidified (Pittsburgh’s) goaltending situation,” he said. “But looking ahead, my best opportunity was here.” Other than being familiar with Wilkes-Barre and the organization, Thiessen mentioned several other reasons why returning made sense. He wanted to play for head coach John Hynes again and, being in Wilkes-Barre should give Thiessen plenty of mintues in net to redeem himself from last season. “I wasn’t happy with the way I played last year,” he said. “I wanted to come back and re-es-
ly composed himself to record the final two outs of the sixth, and the IronPigs never got another baserunner. Relievers Cory Wade, Chase Whitley and Ryota Igarashi all pitched perfect innings in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings to nail down Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s first victory in five tries as the visiting team at Coca-Cola. That pulled 47-40 Yankees within 31⁄2 games of first-place Lehigh Valley in the International League North Division. “Our bullpen shut it down for the nine outs,” Miley said. “That’s been a little bit of a problem for us the past few games.” No problem, though, when the Yankees offense is lighting up the skies. “The last couple of nights, we played well,” Laird said. “We had a couple of situations we didn’t take advantage of. But we keep ourselves in games like that, we’re going to start winning some games and hopefully turn the standings around.” tablish myself as a top goalie in the AHL.” Thiessen also said the signing off goaltender Jeff Zatkoff – an AHL All-Star last season, should help him get his career back on track. “He’s a great goaltender and it will create good competition,” Thiessen said. “There’s only one net and, as a goaltender, you want to make sure you’re at the top of your game. Having another good goaltender pushes you to do that.” Last season, Thiessen got his first taste of the NHL, posting a 3-1 record in five games with Pittsburgh. While the experience was definitely a benefit, he said, it may have contributed to the decline at the AHL level. “Last year, maybe I was thinking too much about that NHL shot and focused on that more than I should have,” Thiessen said. Heading into this season with a new one contract and, as of July 22, a wife, Thiessen’s focus is clear. Another NHL shot remains the goal, but this time it won’t be a distraction. “You never give up on that opportunity. It’s a long season and reaching the NHL again is something I won’t close the door on,” he said. “It’s just not something I’m going to dwell on. I need to play well and be consistent no matter where I’m at.”

legs amputated below the knee at 11 months old and originally didn’t like track and field when he took it up as a teenager to rehabilitate from a rugby injury. “To have been selected to represent Team South Africa at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the individual 400m and the 4x400m relay is a real honor and I am so pleased that years of hard work, determination and sacrifice have all come together,” said Pistorius. Set to realize his dream of competing at an Olympics and Paralympics in the same year, his joy also was obvious in a post on Twitter. “Will be in @London2012 for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games!” the multiple Paralympic champion tweeted. “Thank you to everyone that has made me the athlete I am! God, family and friends, my competitors and supporters! You have all had a hand!” Pistorius’ Olympic selection wasn’t clear cut. He forced his way in against all the odds as he’s done time and time again. Just like his last-gasp qualifying time to make history at the world championships last year, Pistorius claimed his place at the Olympics late. He also needed help. Pistorius ran a personal best 45.07 seconds last year and opened this season with a 45.20 — both Olympic-qualifying times. But he needed another 45.30 or better at an international meet before last Saturday to seal a spot in the 400, according to his national Olympic committee’s regulations. He missed it by less than a quarter of a second in his final qualifying race at the African Championships. “I have run two Olympic ‘A’ standard times over the past 12 months and with the time I ran at the African Championships last week I know my speed and fitness are constantly improving so that I will peak in time for the Olympics,” he said. After he missed out on his second required Olympic qualifying time, the South African Olympic committee and Athletics South Africa appeared certain to overlook him in the 400. They had insisted throughout the season that they wouldn’t relax their tough qualifying criteria for Pistorius. But the late-season burst at the Africans, which also won him a silver and his first major individual medal in an able-bodied race, may have pushed officials to include him.

Yani Tseng is shooting to become the youngest golfer to complete a career Grand Slam this weekend.
Tseng has chance to top Tiger
Golfer aims to be youngest to secure career Grand Slam at this week’s Women’s Open. By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer
KOHLER, Wis. — Yani Tseng fondly remembers attending the U.S. Women’s Open as a fan when she was 13, down to autographs and free snacks. Should Tseng win at Blackwolf Run this week, she’ll get a taste of fame only a handful of players have sampled before. With a victory in the U.S. Women’s Open, the 23-year-old native of Taiwan would become the youngest women’s U.S. player ever to WOMEN’S complete a OPEN career Grand TV COVERAGE Slam of victories in each Today and Friday major tour3-7 p.m., ESPN2 nament. Saturday and She’d even Sunday one-up Tiger 2-5 p.m., NBC Woods, who didn’t win all four majors on the men’s side until he was 24. But after winning three times on the LPGA Tour earlier this year, Tseng is struggling going into Thursday’s first round at the challenging 6,944-yard, par-72 course in central Wisconsin. And Tseng acknowledges that completing the career slam is on her mind. “Yes, of course,” Tseng said. “It’s hard to not think about, because everybody is talking about it. But like I say, I’m not worried about what’s my result this week, because (I’m) just going to have fun.” Karrie Webb is the youngest women’s player to complete a career Grand Slam, winning the LPGA Championship in 2001 to complete the feat at age 26. On the men’s side, Woods was 24 when he won the 2000 British Open to become the youngest player to complete the career Grand Slam. Tseng’s best U.S. Open finish was 10th at Oakmont in 2010. But her best memory at the tournament came as a 13-year-old fan, when she was part of a small group of young Taiwanese players who watched Juli Inkster win in 2002. She remembers getting players’ autographs on a flag. “When you’re a junior, you can get (a) hot dog and soft drink and free ticket to come in here,” Tseng said. “It was so much fun.” In a way, Tseng said her experience at the U.S. Open as a fan adds to the pressure she puts on herself as a player. “So every year when I come to the U.S. Open I always feel more nerves and more pressure on this tournament,” Tseng said. “When I was 13 my dream was playing the U.S. Open. Now I’m trying to think (about) winning the U.S. Open. It’s a very big step for me to think this way.” Those thoughts come despite a recent rough patch in Tseng’s game. She got off to a roaring start this season, winning three of her first eight tournaments and finishing in the top 10 in all eight.
ROUEN, France — Britain’s Mark Cavendish felt painful scrapes from the hard Tour de France asphalt in Wednesday’s fourth stage. He bared no hard feelings toward rival Andre Greipel, who won it. The German speedster, leading a thinned-out group of sprinters at the finish, got his14th victory in all competitions this year while Cavendish nursed wounds from a late crash as the race entered Normandy. Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara got briefly held up by the trouble but didn’t go down, and retained the overall lead for a fifth day after the 133-mile trek alongside the English Channel from Abbeville to Rouen. The top standings didn’t change: Bradley Wiggins, the leader of Cavendish’s

Team Sky hoping to be Britain’s first Tour winner, is second, 7 seconds behind the Swiss leader. Defending champion Cadel Evans of Australia is 17 seconds off the pace in seventh. With less than two miles left, a group spill brought down Cavendish, scraping up his rainbow-colored jersey of world champion. He looked a bit dazed as Sky staff checked him out and helped him get on a bike. He rode gingerly to finish the stage. The squad said he was banged up, but appeared to have no serious injuries and was likely to start Thursday. With Cavendish out of the picture, Greipel burst out of the depleted group of sprinters, and sped to the straightaway finish, a split-second ahead of Italy’s Alessandro Petacchi and Dutch rider Tom Veelers. The German said he didn’t pay much attention to the late crash. “I heard something behind me ... but at 60 kilometers per hour, you don’t worry about what happened behind,” the LottoBelisol rider told France-2 TV. While pro cyclists all run the risk of crashing, Cavendish’s spill amounted to a

scare — if faint — to his high hopes of winning gold for Britain in the Olympic road race next month. Cavendish has played second fiddle on Sky over the team’s goal for Wiggins to get a victory, and unlike in years past has only one devoted lead-out man to guide and shield him in the frenzied last sprint: Bernard Eisel, an Austrian who also got banged up in the spill. Cavendish, seen by many as the world’s best sprinter and the winner of 21 Tour stages including Stage 2 Monday, conveyed no hard feelings over his mishap. “Ouch.....,” Cavendish wrote on Twitter. “Crash at 2.5km to finish today. Taken some scuffs to my left side, but I’ve bounced pretty well again. Congrats to (at)AndreGreipel.” Tyler Farrar, a sprint specialist from the United States who won the Tour stage on July 4 last year, also got tangled up and missed out on a chance for a repeat sprint victory on the U.S. Independence Day holiday.

Latest AP survey of economists says next president faces high national unemployment rate for at least four more years
to have Budvar’s Budweiser trademark declared invalid, in the latest ruling in a long legal battle over the brand name. Budvar said Wednesday the ruling by Britain’s Court of Appeal, which is final, means that unlike other markets, Anheuser-Busch and the Czech brewer can both continue to use the Budweiser trademark in Britain. The decision is in line with last year’s ruling by EU’s Court of Justice in Luxembourg. Both brewers were granted the right to use it in 2000 after a ruling that British beer drinkers were aware of the difference. The legal battle over the Budweiser trademark has not been affected after Anheuser-Busch was taken over by Belgian brewer InBev in 2008.

Barclays boss grilled
VATICAN CITY
Vatican report secret
The Vatican has gotten its report card on its efforts to be more financially transparent — but it’s secret. A Council of Europe committee in Strasbourg on Wednesday adopted a report by independent inspectors who have been studying the Holy See’s efforts to comply with international standards to fight money laundering and terror financing. The evaluators’ preliminary report found areas where the Vatican was compliant and where it needed work. During the meeting Wednesday of the Council of Europe’s Moneyval committee, that report was amended by governments who are committee members, as often occurs. But neither the Vatican nor the Council of Europe would disclose the outcome, saying Moneyval’s procedures forbid it. The full report will be released in about a month, after the Vatican makes its own observations about the findings. NEW YORK

The lawsuit was filed in 2002 and is based on a whistleblower’s claim that DaVita overused Epogen, an anemia drug made by Amgen, over a 10-year period. DaVita says its physicians did nothing wrong and stand by their anemia management practices, but the company says the agreement is in the best interest of its shareholders.

The former boss of Barclays, who lost his job over a financial marketfixing scandal, said Wednesday that a Bank of England official had not encouraged him to report false data at the height of the credit crunch in 2008. Bob Diamond, who resigned as chief executive a day earlier, was grilled by a parliamentary committee about his conversation with Paul Tucker, deputy governor of the Bank of England, on Oct. 29, 2008. That conversation, disclosed Tuesday by Barclays, has become the focus of questions about the false data submitted by Barclays between 2005 and 2009 which last week drew a fine of $453 million by U.S. and British agencies.

High unemployment will continue to be a problem for whoever occupies this residence next year, many economists are saying.
Jobs woes persist By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON — A majority of economists in the latest Associated Press Economy Survey expect the national unemployment rate to stay above 6 percent — the upper bounds of what’s considered healthy — for at least four more years. If the economists are correct, the job market will still be unhealthy seven years after the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009. That would be the longest stretch of high unemployment since the end of World War II. And it means the job market and the economy — President Barack Obama’s main political threats — would remain big challenges in either a second Obama term or President Mitt Romney’s first term. “The election isn’t going to be a miracle cure for the unemployment rate — that’s for sure,” says Sean
Snaith, an economics professor at the University of Central Florida. He thinks unemployment, which is 8.2 percent now, won’t drop back to 6 percent until after 2016. Economists consider a “normal” level to be between 5 percent and 6 percent. The economists surveyed by the AP foresee an unemployment rate of 8 percent on Election Day. That would be the highest rate any postwar president running for re-election has faced. The survey results come before the government reports Friday on hiring during June. Fears about the economy escalated after U.S. employers added just 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year and the third straight month of weak job growth. The AP survey collected the views late last month from 32 private, corporate and academic economists on a range of issues. Among their views:
• The economy will continue to grow only slowly. The average forecast for the April-June period is that GDP grew at an annual rate of 2 percent. That’s down from a 2.4 percent forecast in April. The economists think the rate in the final six months of the year will be just 2.3 percent. That’s too weak to bring the unemployment rate down. • Monthly job gains will average 139,000 the rest of this year — barely enough to keep up with population growth and prevent unemployment from worsening. In their forecast in April, the economists predicted average monthly job gains of 189,000. • The one step Europe could take that would boost confidence in its financial system quickly would be a bailout program like the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, that Congress approved in 2008 to rescue U.S. banks after the financial crisis hit.
Italy doesn’t need a bailout, Premier Monti says Mario Monti says Italy’s public finances will improve. By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press
ROME — Italian Premier Mario Monti insisted Wednesday the country doesn’t need a European bailout because its public finances will improve, but acknowledges work still needs to be done to cut government spending, boost economic growth and create jobs. Monti spoke at a press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel after meeting about Europe’s debt crisis. It was their first encounter since European leaders in Brussels last week agreed to use the continent’s bailout fund to funnel money directly to struggling banks and let countries following budget rules apply for financial aid without stringent conditions attached.
Monti, who had pressed for such a deal, insisted Italy didn’t need a bailout to help it pay its government debt because its budget deficit was low compared with many other European countries and forecast to improve. As of the end of 2011, official European statistics put Italy’s deficit at 3.9 percent, just above the EU limit of 3 percent. Spain’s, by contrast, was much higher at 8.5 percent. Italy’s big problem is the economy is in recession and it has a high public debt load equivalent to 120 percent of GDP. Investors fearing Italy may have trouble repaying that debt have been asking for high interest rates to lend to the country. The measures announced by European leaders last week have helped relieve the fear that Italy may default. In particular, making it easier for countries to access European bailout funds has convinced investors that Italy has a credible financial

backstop should it run into trouble financing itself. Agreeing to loosen the conditions for bailouts was not easy, however, and was the source of heated debated between Monti and Merkel in recent weeks and at the summit.
DAYTON, Ohio — The number of people earning college certificates has dramatically increased as students seek the quickest connection to a job. Certificates are the fastestgrowing college credential, with more than 1 million awarded nationally in 2010, according to a recent study from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. Certificates equip students with the skills they need for a job often in less than a year, and they sometimes increase a person’s earnings potential past that of a bachelor’s degree holder. "There has been an explosion in certificates," said Sean Creighton, executive director of the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education. "The offerings have increased dramatically with certificates because it’s a great way for a student — whether it’s a working adult or somebody in transition — to get some real technical development," he said. Certificates almost always take less than two years to complete and more than half take less than one year and often avoid general education classes required by an associate or bachelor’s degree program, according to Georgetown. Students entering Clark State Community College’s new diesel technology certificate, which launches this fall at the Springfield, Ohio, school, could be employable after even part of the program. "There is a huge demand for diesel techs," said David Devier, vice president of academic and student affairs at Clark. "It’s a high-paying job. These are lifesustaining wages we’re talking here." The certificate will add to the about 52 available through the school. "We provide certificates because a lot of people come us and want to know what’s the shortest distance from what I am right now — unemployed — to employable and skilled," Devier said. Some of the certificate programs are ideal for a student just starting college, said Jane Cape, Clark State’s dean of business and applied technologies. Others are aimed at professionals looking to gain a new skill or people with a bachelor’s or master’s degree wanting to expand their training, such as the advanced technical intelligence certificate, Cape said.
Privacy over because of move by Cisco’s Linksys routers THE DAWN of the Internet marked the sunset of privacy. At least, that’s the impression I keep getting – reinforced by this piece of news concerning Cisco Systems, manufacturer of Linksys branded routers. Linksys routers are everywhere, and many of you probably have them in your homes. Cisco makes a good product, and their business practices have been perceived as reputable – at least, they were. That might change after the compa-
TECH TALK NICK DELORENZO ny’s latest move. Cisco pushed an update through to their “E-series” routers – the E2700, E3500 and E4500 models, which changed the user name and password of the router and forced users to sign up for a Cisco cloud-based service where they could configure their routers. That’s just annoying for most people, but the next part is worse. Cisco modified its privacy policy, so that if you accessed the service, called
“Cisco Connect Cloud,” the company would then be in the clear to access your history and usage information, and it reserved the right to terminate your service if you used its equipment for “offensive” purposes. The specific line reads: “We may keep track of certain information related to your use of the Service, including but not limited to the status and health of your network and networked products; which apps relating to the Service you are using; which features you are using within the Service infrastructure; network traffic (e.g., megabytes per hour); Internet history …”
It goes on to state that further updates might be applied, regardless of whether you, the owner of the product, wished to do so. While the company has recanted the most egregious passages and allowed users to go back to the way things were, this move has spooked a lot of people. If you have nothing to hide, why should you surrender control of household appliances to their manufacturers? This is like a microwave company saying “We reserve the right to not cook your food if we determine that we don’t like the recipe,” and it’s utterly ridiculous.
The ostensible purpose of the Cisco Connect Cloud is to allow users to access their routers and devices attached to them from anywhere, which is certainly useful. But should the price be allowing them to see all of their customers’ usage statistics, Internet history, and activities? What does Cisco have to gain? Plenty. Marketing data. All manner of statistics. And whatever its privacy policy may say about how it handles that information, it’s not worth the paper it’s written on since the company reserves the right to change it at will. There’s a lesson to be learned here: Read the fine print.

It's going to be another hot one today! Plenty of sunshine with afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s. It won't be as humid today as yesterday, but it's still going to be hot. We could use some rain showers, but it doesn't appear like that will happen today. Things are getting very dry. We haven't recorded measurable rainfall since June 29 and even that wasn't much, only .05" of rain. Speaking of rain, we may get some showers Saturday evening and Sunday as a cold front moves through, bringing an end to the really humid weather for awhile.

Boys face crisis with friendship By HEIDI STEVENS Chicago Tribune
MCT PHOTO
Hailey Samuel and her mother, Dana Samuel, read together at their home in Stone Mountain, Ga. Schools have moved from giving students recommended reading lists for the summer to big projects.
By GRACIE BONDS STAPLES

Atlanta Journal-Constitution
TLANTA - This summer, 6-year-old Hailey Samuel will spend a minimum of 20 minutes each day reading. She will also write a book report, answer practice standardized test questions and shore up her spelling and math skills.
If that seems like overkill for the rising first-grader, her mother, Dana Samuel, won’t
disagree with you. She believes the assignments from Wynbrooke Theme School in Stone Mountain, Ga., are a bit much. “I’m a very involved mom, but I believe children have to be children,” her mother said. “She will do the work but without compromising our ‘we’ time.” Once reserved for ambitious Advanced Placement kids, summer assignments have gradually spilled over to the rest of the student body, putting a damper on family vacations and, as Samuel put it, “we” time. Assignments vary by school, school district, subject and grade level. Many educators believe that summer assignments reinforce students’ reading skills and better prepare them for the upcoming school year. They say children learn best when instruction is continuous, and summer vacations disrupt the rhythm of instruction, requiring reviews of old material when students return to school in the fall. Tarsha Bowie was all too happy to comply with her son Waymon’s first-grade reading assignment from Wynbrooke. “I want to provide a solid foundation for my son,” Bowie said. “The reading program will groom him for first grade.” Summer assignments, however, don’t sit well with Vivian Williams, whose daughter is a rising ninth-grader at Dunwoody High School. She has to
FIGHT BRAIN DRAIN Reading Is Fundamental, the nation’s largest literacy organization, offers a variety of free online activities and resources to help parents beat the summer brain drain on its website, www.rif.org. Here are some of them: • Reading Planet • Literacy Activities Library • Literacy Activities Calendar • Recommended reading lists
complete several assignments this summer, including reading George Orwell’s “1984,” preparing a PowerPoint presentation and reading a Spanish newspaper – even though she has yet to meet her teachers. “In the past, she had been required to read a book or two, but I thought this was excessive,” Williams said. Gary Huggins, CEO of the nonprofit National Summer Learning Association in Baltimore, said most children lose about two months of math skills See HOMEWORK, Page 2C

In the course of researching boys’ friendships over two decades, Niobi Way stumbled upon a link that appears, at first blush, to go against everything we believe about fatherly influence. “The quantitative data from studying hundreds of boys show that highquality relationships with their moms predict high-quality relationships with their friends,” says Way, a professor at New York University and the author of “Deep Secrets: Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of Connection” (Harvard University Press). “But the opposite is true with dads. The more time they’re spending with dad, the less they report having high-quality friendships.” The finding gave Way and her fellow researchers pause, but it actually speaks to the heart of her thesis, which The time at is, in essence: Boys which most want close friend- boys start to ships. Boys are equipped to foster drift away close friendships. from their Boys, in fact, rock at close friends close friendships. – typically Until they apage 15 or 16 – proach adulthood. Way interviewed corresponds hundreds of boys – precisely with black, white, Latino, Asian-American – the time at throughout adoles- which suicide cence and found rates for boys that they’re quite jump to five clear about the esteem with which times the rate they regard their of girls. friendships. “I heard these 13-, 14-, 15-year-old boys saying, ‘I need my friends. I want close friends. I would go wacko without my close friends,’ ” she says. “Around 15, 16, 17, you start to hear a very different boy talking. Freshman year a boy would tell me, ‘Victor is my best friend. I love him.’ ” But by senior year, the same boy is loath to admit to such feelings, Way says. Our boys face nothing less than a crisis in their relational abilities, say experts in the area of adolescent psychology. And the stakes are high. Way’s research links healthy, intimate friendships among boys with lower rates of bullying, better physical health, longer life spans, less drug and alcohol abuse and better academic performance. The time at which most boys start to drift away from their close friends – typically age 15 or 16 – corresponds precisely with the time at which suicide rates for boys jump to five times the rate of girls, Way says. “The question isn’t how do we teach our boys to have relationships,” Way says. “It’s how do we teach them to hang on to them. How do we help them maintain the friendships they already have into adulthood?” We start by giving them the green light to express what they’re already feeling. “Boys have the full emotional repertoire,” says child psychologist Michael Thompson, co-author of “Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys” (Ballantine Books). “They don’t always have the permission to use it.” Dads, he says, can change that. “If fathers, especially, emphasize too much competitiveness and toughness,” Thompson says, “and that old American bugaboo, which is self-reliance, then a boy is confused. ‘Well, should I be self-reliant? Which means not feeling so dependent on my friends as I do in my heart?’ ” Which speaks to Way’s link between fathers and quality friendships. “Because men grew up in the same See BOYS, Page 2C

culture our boys are growing up in, how men relate to their sons often reinforces hypermasculinity,” Way says. “Closeness with their sons often entails going to sports events and talking about sports, which is fantastic. But it doesn’t necessarily entail emotional connectedness, talking about their emotional lives, which is why it’s affecting their friendships. “That’s what we do to our boys,” she says. “We force them to be not quite human, quite frankly, by suppressing their emotions.” Fathers – along with mothers, teachers, all of us, frankly – have a responsibility to foster and encourage connectedness and emotional honesty in our boys.
HOMEWORK Continued from Page 1C
each summer, and low-income children lose an additional two to three months of reading skills. And that loss can have a cumulative effect. By ninth grade, Huggins said, low-income youths are more than three years behind middle-income peers in reading, due largely to summer learning loss. “We invest so many resources in helping kids achieve during the school year that it just doesn’t make sense to let any part of that investment slip away,” Huggins said. Although some parents believe summer should be reserved for having fun, Huggins argues there’s no reason to sacrifice fun for learning.
“It’s possible to have good friendships without talking about them as much as girls do,” Thompson says with a laugh. “But you can’t have friendship without vulnerability. You have to be able to let your guard down with somebody, and you have to be able to trust that somebody is going to look after you.” Thompson makes a plea to dads: Model friendship for your sons. “Take your sons and your sons’ friends with you on camping trips with your own friends,” he says. “Talk with them about why you like your buddies with a little more depth than, ‘He’s so funny.’ ‘He and I both like the Giants.’ Say a little bit more about them.” Chances are, the chats will be well-received. “Boys are crying out for male attention in our culture,” says Lisa Bloom, author of “Swagger:
10 Urgent Rules for Raising Boys in an Era of Failing Schools, Mass Joblessness and Thug Culture” (Think Publications/Vantage Point). “All kids today have significantly fewer adults in their lives than they did a generation ago: They have more single parents, larger class sizes, they’re less likely to go to a religious institution, guidance counselors are being cut, school nurses are being cut. “Fathers and other men who want to play a role in kids’ lives have a wonderful opportunity to do so.” And the benefits are large and lifelong. Better friends, after all, make better brothers, fathers, partners. “Any relationship that is mutual and reciprocal and loving,” Thompson says, “gives you practice for other relationships that are mutual, reciprocal and loving.”
He suggests parents view summer as an opportunity for children to learn in a different way than they do during the school year. “Why not plan a family garden,” he said, “and in the process have your kids calculate the necessary area and perimeter for planting, research which plants, vegetables or flowers will thrive in your garden spot, and work
with a budget to practice both math and the skill of making tough choices?” Citing a 2011 study by Rand Corp., a nonprofit devoted to improving public policy, Huggins said high-quality summer learning programs, along with informal learning approaches, not only help students avoid summer brain drain but boost achievement in some cases.

Woman’s successful career change has soured a longtime friendship Dear Abby: I am 39, married, and a professional woman with a good income. My best friend, “Barbie,” and I both went to work after high school without completing our education. However, after several years I decided to go to college and get a degree so I could change careers. My income has more than doubled. Barbie is obviously jealous of my new life, which affords me opportunities to travel, take vacations, and have the money to buy things I couldn’t afford before. She and her family barely make ends meet. Although we have been like sisters since childhood, I now feel as if I must walk on
DEAR ABBY ADVICE eggshells around her — guarding my conversation lest I mention a new purchase or having time off. If something does slip out, Barbie becomes defensive and sarcastic. Abby, I shouldn’t have to apologize for my new lifestyle. I worked hard to make a change for myself. What can I do? This is becoming difficult. An example: We went shopping last week. She bought nothing for herself. I felt uncomfortable with my purchases, even though they weren’t extravagant. She made a comment to the effect that “it must be nice to be able to buy something so frivolous.”
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
I should mention that Barbie’s parents are still willing to send her through college or a tech school, even at the age of 39, but she chooses not to make the effort. — Tired of Feeling Apologetic Dear Tired: When your friend commented that it must be nice to be able to buy something frivolous, you had an opening to tell her that before you earned your degree you couldn’t either, which was one of the reasons you decided it was time to change your life by returning to school. As things stand, the nature of your friendship with Barbie must change. If the relationship is to continue, you will have to forgo the shopping trips together and any references to your new lifestyle. Otherwise, they will
CRYPTOQUOTE
be perceived as bragging, and the comparisons may be painful to her. Be prepared to be sensitive to that, or move on. Dear Abby: I am the owner of a small boutique. My only full-time employee is everything an employer could ask for. However, she often comes in looking like she just crawled out of bed and doesn’t own an iron. What can I say to help her become more aware of her appearance? I don’t want to hurt her feelings. Please help. Thank you. — Anne in Missouri Dear Anne: You must be direct with her. Explain that you expect her to dress more carefully for work because: 1. Her attire represents the
image of the shop, and 2. a salesperson who is sharply dressed inspires customers to shop. Then tell her EXACTLY what you expect from her, and offer to help her coordinate some outfits — perhaps by giving her a discount on items from the store. If that doesn’t work, consider putting together a “uniform” for her to wear when she’s working. It’s what some of the top designers have done in their stores.
To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
ARIES (March 21-April 19). At moments today you’ll feel like you’re in a movie and will find yourself looking around for the camera. But don’t be selfconscious. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s good to sometimes be involved in helping others or fixing their problems. But if things don’t feel right when you’re not helping, there’s a bigger problem to handle. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Pet peeves have a way of growing from Chihuahuas into Great Danes. Smile and keep little annoyances on a short leash. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be aware of what you can do to affect your distant future. A few timely measures made over the course of the next six weeks will make a remarkable difference in where you stand five years from now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unfinished business is simply love that hasn’t been put in motion yet. Give your love. When you’re feeling afraid, it’s a signal that you have more love to give, and you should do so ASAP. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are knowledgeable people around you. You will be actively learning and taking the notes to prove it. You’ll need this information later, so be sure to keep it in an accessible place. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whatever mood you’re in, you’ll get more of the same. So the ability to change an uncomfortable mood or raise a neutral one to something cheerful will be the key to your well-being.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK
HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Seize the day — but not too hard. Clinging will restrict the flow of spontaneity that makes your time so engaging. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The Norse deity Thor threw his hammer and caused lightning and thunder. Someone you know has an equally intimidating temper, but you have a way of neutralizing this person’s negative powers. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Others may upset your timetable. They are not intentionally trying to mess you up; it’s just that their needs don’t fit nicely into the schedule. You’ll rise to the challenge by staying flexible and positive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Usually it’s not about the money. Your other interests have to be fulfilled before a dollar amount matters to you. This won’t be the case now, though. A dollar amount will be crucial to your satisfaction. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a certain urgency to your work objectives. A job must be done right and done quickly. You have a short amount of time to get things up to speed and on track. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 5). The guidance you seek shows up in the next five weeks. You’ll know what you’re supposed to be doing, and you’ll follow through with it. This month features exciting dates. An investment brings easy profit in November. March is educational. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 25, 49, 15 and 18.
