Local Verizon workers join strike About 100 employees from W-B office picket but the contract that expired at midnight Saturday covers workers in the company’s wireline division, which includes local-phone operations, services for businesses and governments and long-haul wholesale traffic. Employees at the Wilkes-Barre central office and other Verizon central offices in the area handle things such as switching calls, operator assistance and customer service, Engleman said. Verizon activated a contingency plan to ensure customers experienced “limited disruption in service” for the length of the strike. “Tens of thousands of Verizon managers and oth-

Local union Verizon Communications Inc. employees picket outside the Verizon Central Office in Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

WILKES-BARRE – More than 100 local employees from Verizon Communications Inc. joined 45,000 co-workers from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., in going on strike Sunday after negotiations fizzled over a new labor contract for more than a fifth of the company’s work force. Don Engleman, president of Communications Workers of America Local 13000 Unit 34, said he and the 147 other members of the local bargaining unit would continue picketing outside the Verizon Central Office on South Main Street “as long as it takes” and until the strike is over.

Timing was key to building of new Dallas High School Superintendent says board put out bids just as the economy turned sour. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Dallas School District Superintendent Frank Galicki concedes timing had a lot to do with the new high school being built at a lower cost than any other in the state, as noted in a state report.

The school board put out bids just as the economy turned sour and contractors were desperate for work. But Galicki is also confident students and taxpayers alike will agree they got a big bang for their buck when the new building is officially unveiled Aug. 28. The claim to frugal fame stems from the Pennsylvania Department of Public Education “Report PLC030D,” generally referred to as “Report 30.”

NEW YORK — U.S. investors will have their first chance today to react to Standard & Poor’s decision to strip the U.S. government of its top credit rating. But the bigger issues facing Wall Street and stock markets worldwide remain debt-ridden countries in Europe and concerns that the global economy is weakening. Friday’s first-ever downgrade of U.S. long-term debt from AAA to AA+ wasn’t unexpected and may have little impact on interest rates. But it’s the kind of news that stock markets don’t need when investors are already nervous. Finance officials from major industrial countries, seeking to calm nervous global markets, are pledging increased cooperation to attack economic problems. Finance officials from the Group of Seven industrial countries issued a joint statement late Sunday saying they were committed to taking all necessary measures to support financial stability and growth. The G-7 statement came after the group held an emergency conference call to discuss the debt crisis in Europe and market prospects following the announcement of the first-ever downgrade of the credit rating of the U.S. government.

Fans go ape for prequel at the box office By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — Apes have climbed to the top rung of the weekend box office. The 20th Century Fox action thriller “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” took in $54 million to open as the No. 1 movie, according to studio estimates Sunday. That was about $15 million to $20 million more than analysts expected for the “Apes” prequel, though well below the $68.5 million opening of Tim Burton’s “PlanetoftheApes”remake10yearsago. Featuring James Franco, Freida Pinto and Andy Serkis, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” tells the story of how lower primates began evolving to take over Earth from humans. The film was well received by critics, who found it a smarterthan-average summer action flick. Its impressive visual effects rely on performances from Serkis and other actors as the foundation for photo-realistic apes created by digital artists. “Ithinkthereviewshighlightthe groundbreaking nature of this movie. When you have effects that have never been seen before, people respond to that. They know they have to be seen to be believed,” said Fox distribution executive Chris Aronson. “The technology is actually servicing a really good, strong, emotional story.” Sony’s family tale “The Smurfs” remained at No. 2 for the second straight weekend with $21 million, lifting its domestic total to $76.2 million. Universal’s sci-fi Western “Cowboys & Aliens,” which debuted at No. 1 a week earlier, narrowly ahead of “The Smurfs,” fell to third with $15.8 million, raising its total to $67.4 million. Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman’s comedy “The Change-Up,” alsofromUniversal,openedaweak No. 4 with $13.5 million. The movie centers on two old friends — a successful but frazzled attorney and family man, and a womanizing slacker — who magically trade bodies.

Wright Twp. man is stabbed By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

WRIGHT TWP. -- A resident of the Capitol Hill Apartments was stabbed multiple times late Sunday afternoon and police were looking for two men in connection with the assault. The man, who is in his 30s, was rushed by ambulance to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains Township, for emergency surgery, said Sgt. Royce Engler of the Wright Township Police Department. “Our victim seems to know who they were,” said Engler outside the apartment complex along Senate and Charter drives. The victim resided in Apartment 7B, but police did not release his name. Police received a call to respond to the apartment building at 4:39 p.m. Officers from Rice and Wright townships were on scene and strung yellow crime scene tape across the parking area of Building B. The arrival of an ambulance and police vehicles brought out people from their houses in what they said is a quiet neighborhood. Several questioned by a reporter said they neither saw nor heard anything unusual. The victim’s cell phone and a bloody T-shirt lay on the walkway along the parking area. The phone’s musical ring tone sounded several times. Engler said the victim was stabbed between four or five times in the chest, back, arm pit and leg. At the time Engler said he did not know if the injuries were life threatening. Police recovered the weapon. “It’s a folding knife,” said Engler, adding it had a blade between 3 and 4 inches long. The assailants fled the scene in a vehicle, possibly a maroon Nissan car, said Engler. Pennsylvania State Police were called in to process the crime scene. Luzerne County District Attorney Jackie Musto AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER Carroll said her office was notified of the stabbing. She said Police on Sunday were looking for two men involved in the stabbing of a resident of the Capitol Hill Wright Township is handling the Apartments. Wright Township police Sgt.

Firefighters from Plymouth and surrounding communities work at the scene of a small fire inside the former Golden Quality ice cream factory in Plymouth on Sunday. Fire Chief Bill Yevins said crews responded at 10:21 a.m. to the structure at 130 W. Main St., which is at the rear of Ce-J’s Laundromat. A pile of clothing was on fire inside the building, which was ‘full of garbage,’ Yevins said. He said firefighters had the ‘small spot-fire’ knocked down in a matter of minutes. He said the fire might have been started by ‘kids’ or a discarded cigarette. No further investigation is planned.

uitarists Kirk Pengilly, left, and Tim Farriss of the Australian rock group INXS perform at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on Sunday night. The band got to play only three songs before the skies opened up and rendered its soundboard inoperable. ‘We are being told we have to stop now,’ lead singer J.D. Fortune said after the third number. ‘We love you and want to continue playing for you, but it is getting too dangerous out there for you.’ Pengilly added the storm knocked out some of the band’s equipment but it would be able to resume in about 30 minutes. ‘Go find some cover, and we’ll be back as soon as we can.’ But about 40 minutes after the storm hit, the show was officially canceled with an announcement by Mohegan Sun officials, who stated the equipment was damaged more seriously than originally thought. The show will not be rescheduled. Refunds for tickets purchased at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs box office will be available as of 10 a.m. today. Purchases made through Ticketmaster will be refunded back to the credit card used to place the order. The next show at Pocono Downs is ‘Bowzer’s Doo-Wop Party Volume III’ on Sunday.

He was arraigned and committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $25,000 bail.

Riders test mettle

By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE -- Hundreds of seasoned and novice cyclists gathered at Wilkes University on Sunday morning as they geared up for the third annual Endure Bike-a-thon, sponsored by the American Cancer Society. A lone bagpiper played as the mass pedaled out of the Henry Student Center parking lot. Cancer survivors Brian McQuestion and Vince Bulzoni teamed up three years ago to organize the local Endure for a Cure Bike-A-Thon as part of a national effort to support the American Cancer Society. The event featured three different routes that varied in length and difficulty. The most challenging, a 62-mile course, took cyclists on a scenic journey along the Susquehanna River, followed by a climb up to Lake Winola. A 36-mile course provided cyclists with a hilly scenic tour of the Back Mountain. The 12-

mile family-friendly route followed the Susquehanna from the River Common to Hanover Township. To see additional This year’s event was photos, visit expected to raise $30,000, www.times said Tonyehn Verkitus of leader.com the American Cancer Society, and one of the event’s organizers. Eighty percent of the proceeds raised from the event, which featured live entertainment, raffles, food and massages for returning cyclists, will help support ACS’s mission locally, said Verkitus. Having trained for five months, Barb Fleming, 44, of Shavertown, said she felt she was ready for the 36-mile trek. Joined by fellow Intensity Bike Club teammate Doug Forbes, 65, of Dallas, who planned to ride the 62-mile course, Fleming said she looked forward to seeing her family cheering her along the route near her home.

Bryce Schroer-Shepord, 33, of Hartsdale, N.Y., took a test run in the parking lot before venturing out on the 12-mile ride. “Pray I don’t get a flat,” she laughed. Schroer-Shepord said she was coaxed into getting an ultrasound in 2001 by her friend who is an ultrasound technician. “She said, ‘Let me practice on you.’ She scanned my thyroid and found a huge lump.” After a thyroid cancer diagnosis, Schroer-Shepord underwent two surgeries to remove her thyroid. She goes for annual checkups and feels great. This was the first bike-a-thon for Leo Templeton, 47, of Shavertown, who joined his son Corey,19, to honor his wife and Corey’s mom, Eileen, 44, who is battling brain cancer. With Eileen looking on, the father-son team geared up for the 12-mile trek. “We just wanted to take part in the event and see what we could do for the American Cancer Society,” Leo said. “And have a lot of fun at the same time.”

Junior Council proud of its efforts The group made up of W-B Area students has aided city, organizations with projects. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – They have quietly gone about their business to help where they can and reap the benefits of those efforts and experiences. The Wilkes-Barre City Junior Council – made up of representatives of the city’s high schools – has compiled an impressive resume over the last seven years, and the future looks bright for the members, the city and the charities they help. Council Chairwoman Kathy Kane led the effort to organize

the Junior Council and she is proud not just of what the students have done, but also that they have done it in an enterprising and independent manner. “I feel really good about these kids,” Kane, a retired teacher, said. “They really do everything on their own. They make the contacts, pick the projects and do the work. Our young people are too often ignored when they do good things.” The Junior Council has helped many organizations. They have raised money for the American Cancer Society, sold bears for children in area hospitals, participated in “Coats for Kids,” properly disposed of old American flags, distributed paper products to several service organizations for people in

need, helped clean up graffiti in the city and sold t-shirts to raise money for breast cancer awareness, just to name a few. “All of these experiences have helped them considerably,” Kane said. “They are always very organized and their projects are very successful.” The current members of the Junior Council are: Anastasya Shelest, 18, Meyers High School; Beth Gilbert, 17, GAR; Trenaya Reid, 17, GAR; all in their second year on the council; and newcomers Jessica Pacheco, GAR; Rianna Daugherty Smith, Meyers; and Bailey Novak, Coughlin.

Thomas DiMaria has been appointed president of state Chiefs of Police Association. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

SWOYERSVILLE – Being a police officer is what borough Police Chief Thomas DiMaria always wanted to do with his life. Likewise, it was a natural progression for DiMaria, 49, to assume the presidency of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association. “It’s a real honor,” DiMaria said after the appointment was made public last week. “I’m proud to do it.” The nomination makes DiMaria the 15th police chief from Luzerne County to take on the job and 90th association president overall. He had previously served as vice president. As president, DiMaria said, he’ll act as spokesman for the association, attend annual execu-

Those goals include a virtual training network in which officers can complete in-service training online rather than traveling to Harrisburg for classroom training.

The online training in both situations is helpful, he said, because then a small department wouldn’t have to pull an officer out of work to attend the trainings, therefore potentially compromising the safety of citizens. “And, it’s always important to work on keeping regions working together,” DiMaria said. “It helps keep everyone equal and makes the puzzle link together.”

Congress could pass jobs bills Syrian

B R I E F

Both the trade and patent measures enjoy bipartisan support.

A tall order on breaking fast

Dubai’s top Muslim cleric said residents of the world’s tallest tower, Burj Khalifa, living above the 80th floor should wait two additional minutes to break their dawn-to-dusk Ramadan fast while those above the 150th floor must wait three extra minutes because they will be able to see the sun longer than those on the ground.

WASHINGTON — When Congress gets back to work after Labor Day it will have the chance to achieve something that has largely eluded it for the entire year, passing legislation that might actually create jobs. With the battering debate over the debt ceiling over, the stage is set for Congress to approve and President Barack Obama to sign three big free-trade agreements and the most significant overhaul of the patent system in 60 years. Legislative hitches can never be discounted, but both the trade and patent measures enjoy bipartisan support from lawmakers eager to show they can make a difference in improving the feeble job market.

It’s hard to find much evidence of relevance so far this year. As Congress left for its August recess, the president had signed only 27 bills into law since this session opened in January. Some, such as the just-passed bill to raise the debt ceiling and a bill to extend Patriot Act provisions, were important. But most were more routine — five bills to name post offices or federal buildings, three to name members of the Smithsonian board of regents and four to keep federal airport operations running. Arguably, not one contributed to job growth. Republicans say that spending cuts in a 2011 budget act and the debt act will stimulate the private sector. Democrats retort that reductions in federal investment in infrastructure and new technology are job killers. The two parties were quick to blame each other when the Labor Department announced Friday that the unemployment rate in July was 9.1 percent, barely changed from the previous month.

Obama has previously called on Congress to put aside the blame game long enough to act on the patent and trade bills. “There are also things that Congress could do right now that will help create good jobs. Right now, Congress can send me a bill that would make it easier for entrepreneurs to patent a new product or idea,” he said at a June 29 news conference. “Right now,” he added, “Congress can advance a set of trade agreements that would allow American businesses to sell more of their goods and services to countries in Asia and South America.” The patent bill will be at the top of the agenda when the Senate reconvenes in September. The first major overhaul of the patent system since 1952 has already passed both the Senate and the House by wide margins, and the Senate will be trying to agree to the similar House version and send it to the president for his signature.

Geithner stays at Treasury

imothy Geithner has told President Barack Obama that he will remain T on the job as Treasury secretary, end-

ing speculation he would leave the administration. The Treasury Department released a statement Sunday saying Geithner had informed the president of his decision to remain in the administration. Geithner is the only remaining top official on Obama’s original economics team. In late June, people close to Geithner said he was considering leaving after the debt limit was raised in August.

NEW YORK

Former New York gov. dies

Former New York Gov. Hugh Carey was at his best when faced with a crisis and when he took office in 1975, New York City wobbled at the edge of fiscal calamity. The governor had inherited the worst economic climate since the Great Depression. New York City, the nation’s Wall Street-powered economic engine, was nearing bankruptcy. Famously declaring the “days of wine and roses are over,” the Carey well-to-do son of an entrepreneur rose to the challenge, forced major changes in the way New York governed and financed itself, and stared down a Republican president to keep New York City from insolvency. The liberal Democrat who reversed the tax-and-spend excesses of his Republican predecessor to keep the city and state afloat died Sunday at his summer home on Shelter Island. He was 92. COPLEY, OHIO

8 killed in family dispute

A family argument Sunday in Ohio ended in the shooting deaths of eight people in two places, including an 11-year-old, and two more people were wounded, authorities said Sunday. One person shot five people to death in one location, then two more were killed nearby before police killed the gunman, police Chief Michael Mier told WKYC-TV. The shootings happened in a wooded, residential neighborhood of older homes outside Akron, and police shot the gunman to death, Copley Township officers said. The neighborhood remained blocked off by police Sunday afternoon. Copley police Sgt. Eric Goodwin said he did not know the conditions of the wounded but said he believed there were no more victims.

SEALS ready to rescue Service members who died had rushed to help Army Rangers. By PATRICK QUINN and KIMBERLY DOZIER Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — The 30 American service members — most of them elite Navy SEALs — who died when their helicopter was shot down had rushed to help Army Rangers who had come under fire, two U.S. officials said Sunday. The heavy loss shows that covert tactics carry huge risks despite the huge success of the SEAL mission that killed Osama bin Laden more than three months ago. Some of the SEALs who died Saturday were from the same unit that killed bin Laden, although none of the men took part in that mission. The U.S.-led coalition plans to rely more on special operations missions as it reduces the overall number of combat troops by the end of 2014.

The two spoke on condition of anonymity because military officials were still notifying the families of the dead. Eight Taliban fighters were also killed in the battle, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement. Afghanistan has more U.S. special operations troops, about 10,000, than any other theater of war. From April to July this year, 2,832 special operations raids captured 2,941 insurgents and killed 834, twice as many as during the same time period last year, according to NATO. SEALs, Rangers, and other special operations troops are expected to be the vanguard of the American military effort in Afghanistan as international military forces start pulling out. By the time combat troops plan to have left the country, the coalition will have handed control of security to the Afghan forces they have spent tens of billions of dollars arming and training.

The worst violence was in Deir el-Zour, where troops stepped up a siege. By BASSEM MROUE Associated Press

BEIRUT — Syrian forces intensified their crackdown on an eastern city Sunday as they try to keep the anti-government uprising from escalating during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The assault and similar operations in at least two other towns killed at least 52 people, according to human rights groups, “Humanand the toll looked likely to itarian rise. conditions The worst violence was in in the city the eastern city are very of Deir el-Zour, bad.’’ where troops Anonymous stepped up a activist siege that had already been going on for days. At least 42 people were killed in a raid on the city that began before dawn, said Abdul-Karim Rihawi, the Damascus-based chief of the Syrian Human Rights League and Ammar Qurabi, who heads the National Organization for Human Rights in Syria. Amateur video posted online by activists showed what it said were parts of Deir el-Zour with the sound of heavy cracks of gunfire and prayers blaring from loudspeakers. Another video showed Syrian troops on a hill as they positioned an anti-aircraft gun. An activist in the city told The Associated Press the military attacked before dawn from four sides and took control of eight neighborhoods. “Humanitarian conditions in the city are very bad because it has been under siege for nine days,” the activist said on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. “There is lack of medicine, baby formula, food and gasoline. The city is totally paralyzed.” The attack on Deir el-Zour is part of the latest phase of the government crackdown that began a week ago, just before the start of Ramadan when many Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, then eat festive meals and gather in mosques for special nightly prayers. The government has been trying to prevent the large mosque gatherings from turning into a new wave of anti-government protests, like those that have been sweeping the country since mid-March. The government’s crackdown has left more than 1,700 dead, according to activists and human rights groups. President Bashar Assad’s regime disputes the toll and blames a foreign conspiracy for the unrest. The central city of Hama had been the focus of the crackdown .

BAGHDAD

By JORDAN ROBERTSON AP Technology Writer

A powerful anti-American Shiite cleric in Iraq with thousands of loyal followers threatened on Sunday that U.S. forces who stay past the Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline are fair game to attack. Iraqi officials, worried about a potential backlash if U.S. troops remain in the country, have tried to portray any American force that does not withdraw as trainers of the still-growing Iraqi military rather than as combat troops. While the security situation in Iraq has improved over the past few years, attacks are still commonplace.

LAS VEGAS — Hackers are out to stymie your smartphone. Last week, security researchers uncovered yet another strain of malicious software aimed at smartphones that run Google’s popular Android operating system. The application not only logs details about incoming and outgoing phone calls, but it also records those calls. That came a month after researchers discovered a security hole in Apple Inc.’s iPhones, which prompted the German

Cleric vows attacks on U.S.

This weekend, the rescue team had subdued attackers who had pinned down the Rangers and were departing in their Chinook helicopter when the aircraft was apparently hit, one of the officials said. Thirty Americans and eight Afghans were killed in the crash, making it the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the decade-long war in Afghanistan. The Rangers, special operations forces who work regularly with the SEALs, secured the crash site in the Tangi Joy Zarin area of Wardak province, about 60 miles southwest of Kabul, the other official said. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the event, as the investigation is still ongoing. The SEAL mission was first reported by CNN. NATO was recovering the remains of the twin rotor Chinook helicopter. A current and a former U.S. official said the Americans included 22 SEALs, three Air Force combat controllers and a dog handler and his dog.

Wrong-doers have infected PCs with malicious software, or malware, for decades. Now, they are fast moving to smartphones as the devices become a vital part of everyday life.

phone that runs the Android, Windows or WebOS operating systems, according to data from Nielsen. That’s up from just 6 percent who owned a smartphone in 2007 when the

iPhone was released and catalyzed the industry. The smartphone’s usefulness, allowing people to organize their digital lives with one device, is also its allure to criminals.

All at once, smartphones have become wallets, email lockboxes, photo albums and Rolodexes. And because owners are directly billed for services bought with smartphones, they open up new angles for financial attacks. The worst programs cause a phone to rack up unwanted service charges, record calls, intercept text messages and even dump emails, photos and other private content directly onto criminals’ servers. Evidence of this hacker invasion is starting to emerge. Lookout says it now detects thousands of attempted infections each day on mobile phones running its security software. In January, there were just a few hundred detections a day. MT

PHOENIX — John W. Teets, a self-made businessman who served as chief executive officer for the Phoenix-based Dial and Greyhound corporations in the 1980s and 1990s, has died. He was 77. Teets died Friday night at his Paradise Valley home of complications from Alzheimer’s disease, according to family friend Steve Roman. “He’s a giant, in my mind,” said Joe Fassler, who worked with him from 1976 until Teets’ retirement in 1997. “He defined leadership. He was a no-nonsense guy and a very, very energetic manager. I was in awe of him.” Teets, who grew up in Chicago and was a partner in a successful suburban entertainment complex, joined the Greyhound Corp. in 1963 to help develop the restaurants at the company’s subsidiary operating at the New York World’s Fair. He became president of two food service subsidiaries in 1965 at age 32, the youngest subsidiary chief operation officer in Greyhound’s history. Teets went on to become president and CEO of the Greyhound Food Management and group vice president of food service for the corporation in 1975. Company officials said the food service group grew 60 percent over the next four years. Teets in 1980 oversaw units involved in aircraft ground services, cruise ship gift shops, airport duty-free shops and their service businesses. Teets was elected vice chairman of the Greyhound Corp. and to the board of directors in 1980.

After appraising Klocko’s culinary talents, Schneider recruited him for a team of top-notch pastry chefs

She said Junior Council has helped improve her public speaking skills and she is much better at communicating with people. “I’ve watched citizens come to City Council meetings to express their concerns and how the council members help them resolve their issues,” Reid said. “I recommend high school students get more involved with their community.

With Klocko on board, Schneider’s U.S. Pastry Team swept the American competition and was invited to compete against other international teams at the vaunted 2001 Coupe du Monde pastry championship in Lyon, France, where they became the first U.S. team to win the World Cup Gold Medal. With the Gold Medal hanging around his neck, Klocko was recruited by famed Belgian chocolatier Godiva to serve as resident chocolatier and pastry chef at the company’s research and development center in Reading, Pa. “They flew me to Belgium for an interview and they saw something they liked,” joked

Klocko. While at Godiva, Klocko traveled throughout the world developing a line of signature truffles that featured distinct flavors from exotic ports of call, such as Indonesia and the West Indies. “Godiva wanted to introduce a pastry chef’s feel into their product line,” said Klocko. “It was a wonderfully creative environment.” Klocko was named one of the 10 best pastry chefs in America by Chocolatier and Pastry Arts magazines and has appeared regularly on the Food Network. Many of his signature recipes can be found at FoodNetwork.com. Klocko says he loves California-style cuisine and he’s “still searching for that perfect dish.”

She said that like Reid she will study law in college. “I’ve met so many people I never would have met if it weren’t for Junior Council,” she said. “And I really like helping so many organizations and people who need help.” Shelest said she has witnessed some loud council meetings, but she said it’s all part of the process. “There have been some confrontations,” she said. “But everybody that addresses council has a

Hundreds march in protest of sexual assault culture The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Hundreds of men and women — some provocatively dressed — have marched in Philadelphia as part of an international movement to protest a culture they say blames women and how they dress for sexual assault. Participants in Saturday’s “SlutWalk” walked to City Hall. The movement was sparked by a Toronto police officer who told a group of university students in January that women should avoid dressing like ing,” she said. “We’ve learned a lot.” Kane said the current group is special because it was all new when they were first appointed. There were no second-year members when Gilbert, Shelest and Reid came aboard.

“sluts” to avoid being raped. He later apologized. Some of the Philadelphia participants say they’ve been sexually assaulted. Twentyyear-old Mary Reilly of Haddon Heights, N.J., tells The Philadelphia Inquirer she started speaking out about the issue after getting therapy after two attacks. The Associated Press generally doesn’t name people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly. “They stuck it out,” Kane said. “The city and all of its residents should be very proud of what all Junior Council members have done and will continue to do.” Bill O’Boyle, a Times Leader staff writer, may be reached at 829-7218.

WORLD OPINION

Economy forcing U.S. to rethink military moves

HE U.S. DEBT debacle might signal the end of the American century not only economically, but also militarily and diplomatically. A minor exchange hinted at the shape of things to come. On a visit to Afghanistan, Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked by troops if they would get paid if the United States defaulted. “I really don’t know the answer to the question,” came the reply. There, in a nutshell, is the new geopolitical reality confronting the United States. It can no longer afford to be the world’s policeman. A large slice of the $2.4 trillion cuts package will come out of the defense budget. President Barack Obama al-

ready is approaching foreign entanglements more as an accountant than a warrior. Few doubt that if the Americans had been fully engaged in the Libya campaign, Moammar Gadhafi would be long gone. The planned withdrawal from Afghanistan is driven as much by financial considerations as military and political ones. A former Pentagon official has calculated that it is costing $20 billion a year simply to supply air-conditioning to U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Such a swaggering, moneyno-object approach to military deployments has been a feature of the United States in combat since World War II. No more, it would seem. The Telegraph, London

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Just great to see the thing lift off.” Fran Bagenal The planetary scientist at the University of Colorado at Boulder and others last week cheered the launch of a sun-powered robotic spacecraft named Juno. The NASA craft began a five-year journey to Jupiter.

Obama forfeits values

HE U.S. debt-ceiling crisis highlighted the precarious, brittle state of the U.S. economy and public finances. But the result, approved by Congress, also spotlights one of President Barack Obama’s most significant blind spots – his insistence on reasonableness in dealing with unreasonable political opponents. Republicans seem to have outmaneuvered Obama and the Democrats at every turn. The tea party succeeded in getting a requirement that a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution be tabled in Congress. It’s not surprising, therefore, that exactly half of all House Democrats voted against the deal.

That alone is a sufficient indictment of Obama’s leadership. But in remarks after the Senate’s approval, Obama asked Congress to take up his old economic agenda: more investment, and more talk of “a balanced approach where everything is on the table” to complete the task of deficit reduction. It was as though Obama had forgotten what had just happened. He had taken most things off the table himself. If only Obama could act on his words. His overriding instinct is to seek compromise and the middle ground. He needs to develop that other political instinct – to fight for his values. The Mail and Globe, Toronto

No budging on borders

T IS REPORTED that, as a result of pressure from Washington, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is willing to negotiate the border that will separate Israel and the future Palestinian state. It is being said that this represents both a breakthrough and a climb down by him. It is no such thing. Discussing the borders has never been an issue for Netanyahu. The problem always has been his idea of where those borders should be. He wants East Jerusalem and large chunks of the West Bank that contain Israeli settlements. In Israeli hands, these would ensure a fractured Palestinian state under Israeli domination and an Israel able

to siphon off as much Palestinian water as it wants – and water is as much part of its agenda as military control. Despite the hype from Washington and Tel Aviv, there is no sign that Netanyahu has changed his mind on any of this. Indeed, the Israeli leader is quite categorical that in no way should his statement be taken to imply a return to the 1967 line. Ultimately it is for the Palestinians and no one else to decide whether they go back to the 1967 borders or not. They are perfectly entitled to refuse any modifications.

Yet another sad lesson on how to milk the taxpayers A GROUP of college students majoring in education recently asked me why there is so much anti-teacher sentiment in the country these days. A public school advocacy group recently posed the question: When did teachers become public enemy No. 1? The answers are far more complex than the average teacher basher would have us believe, though I think teachers wrongfully have become convenient scapegoats and a talking point for political factions playing to populist disdain for big government. But if you wanted a quintessential example of what spawns such animosity, you need look no farther than Hazleton Area School District Superintendent Sam Marolo and the recent deal to curb his contract. As The Times Leader’s Steve Mocarsky reported last week, Marolo will get paid a full-year’s salary for 15 days work. That’s about $130,000 for what would be three weeks on the job to most of us, or about $8,667 per day. Now how angry would that make you? Don’t answer, because Marolo also will get a per-diem payoff of $591 for each of his unused vacation days – up to 50, which would total $29,550. And the agreement signed by the board and Marolo gives the outgoing administrator $85 per day for 140.5 accumulated sick days, 8.5 unused personal days and 15.5

MAIL BAG

COMMENTARY unused vacation days converted to sick days for reimbursement purposes. That’s another $13,982. Now how angry would that make you? Don’t answer; there’s still more! Marolo will get $6,314 for not accepting district health insurance coverage. And he’s entitled to an early retirement incentive offered to administrators in 2009. Did I mention Marolo will be eligible for a fairly tidy pension? The state data I could find on short notice says Marolo has at least 25 years in education. Numbers are not firm until the agency that handles teacher pensions gets involved and makes a determination. But Marolo should be able to receive 2.5 percent of pay per year in education. That would mean 62.6 percent of his salary, or more than $81,000 a year for life. So, to recap: Marolo will work at most two more weeks in the coming school year for a total benefits package of $179,846, plus an early retirement package, and then be eligible to retire at up to $81,250 a year. And, by the way, don’t be surprised if he later lands a job at a local college or consulting company; it’s commonplace for superintendents.

LETTERS FROM READERS

Writer still waiting for response from Barletta

irst, let me state that I voted for Congressman Lou Barletta, thinking it would be for a positive and effective change. Now I am thinking that vote was a huge mistake. I sent Congressman Barletta a letter on May 30, stating I had a problem with the VA. I did not hear from him, so on July 5, I sent an email. I am extremely disappointed since, as of this writing, I have not received any response. Perhaps he will have time after he is done working on our national budget. Gary Werner Edwardsville

Reader feels ordinance would limit free speech

MARK GUYDISH

All of this comes as school districts strip millions of dollars from their budgets, lay off teachers (newest ones first, of course), cut programs and charge students fees to join sports teams or clubs. Most area administrators and even a few teacher unions have accepted some variation on a pay freeze this year, even as taxes went up in many districts. Yet Marolo apparently has no compunction about milking the taxpayers for a little more. This is no reflection on Marolo’s tenure as superintendent. I rarely interacted with him and couldn’t offer an opinion. It’s certainly believable that he is being ousted not for doing the job poorly, but rather for defying a school board majority seeking more control over district actions (like, say, hirings). It’s been known to happen. Nor is this a reflection on the school board. It might have cut the best deal it could to nudge out an ineffective administrator. The politics don’t matter. The final outcome does. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton region struggles with 9 percent unemployment. Most workers see wages remain flat while taxes climb. Then they see this. If Marolo, school board members and educators can’t see how this sort of deal turns taxpayers against public schools, they have, quite simply and unequivocally, lost touch with reality.

ilkes-Barre City Council is revisiting an ordinance restricting free speech at meetings. I’m surprised by the conduct of council Chairwoman Kathy Kane and more so attorney William Vinsko.

The ordinance is very subjective and seemingly gives Kathy sole discretion over what is considered “boisterous” and “impertinent.” Vinsko said this edict is being revisited so people aren’t afraid to address the council. However, this mandate will only make people more hesitant to address the council. More important, this apparent attempt at censorship suggests that Vinsko is afraid of citizens expressing their universal right of freedom of speech, and calling the council out on tough issues. It’s alarming to see Vinsko take such a stance on this issue considering the recent announcement of his bid for Congress. The last thing we need in Congress is someone who doesn’t support free speech.

Continue opposition against metering station

he recent public hearing conducted by the Dallas Township Zoning Board on behalf of Chief Gathering LLC at the Dallas Middle School was a test of endurance for many of those present. My admiration goes to the few residents and their attorneys attending, tolerating the seemingly endless rambling of the real estate expert/appraiser John Coyle III. It was tailor-made for Chief Gathering, which is seeking approval to build a metering station 1,300 feet from the four Dallas schools. Mr. Coyle cited impressive credentials. However, in my opinion, having worked for nearly 25 years as a real estate broker in this community, Mr. Coyle’s testimony and assessment make no sense. I feel it was an insult to the intelligence of the audience. His assertion that a metering station will have no impact on diminishing property values of the adjoining residential area is a fantasyland opinion. As painful as it is to listen and sit through the hearings, I urge my neighbors in this beautiful Back Mountain community to attend and object to this outrage looming upon us, threatening our peaceful way of life.

Family unhappy over pizza bomber film

Producers of ‘30 Minutes or Less’ deny movie is about Brian Wells. By JOE MANDAK Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — When the Columbia Pictures comedy “30 Minutes or Less” opens in theaters nationwide Friday, one small group of people will be sure to avoid it. That would be the surviving family members of Brian Wells, the 46-year-old pizza delivery driver who was killed when a metal bomb collar he was forced to wear while robbing a bank exploded in Erie eight years ago. The movie’s handlers acknowledge the screenwriters were

“vaguely” aware of Wells, but say the movie — in which two ne’erdo-wells force a pizza driver to rob a bank while wearing a bomb vest timed to explode in nine hours — isn’t based on the infamous Pennsylvania collar-bomb case, and especially Wells’ grisly, tragic death. Still, Wells’ 51-year-old sister, Jean Heid, of Erie, said the movie isn’t funny — whether or not it was inspired by her brother’s fate. “It’s hard for me to grasp how other human beings can take delight and pride in making such a movie and consider it a comedy,” Heid wrote in an email to The Associated Press. Heid asked to respond by email because she wanted to choose her words carefully. “I don’t think it’s funny to

laugh at the innocent who are victimized by criminals, who care nothing for human life.” Steve Elzer, the senior vice president who handles media relations for Sony Pictures’ Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, refused to be interviewed, but issued a statement saying, “Neither the filmmakers nor stars the stars of ‘30 Minutes or Less’ were aware of this crime prior to their involvement in the film. The writers were vaguely familiar with what had occurred and wrote an original screenplay that does not mirror the real-life tragedy.” Screenwriters Michael Diliberti and Matt Sullivan didn’t respond to requests for comment through their agent at William Morris Endeavor Entertainment

in Beverly Hills, Calif. But, based on its madcap theatrical trailer, it appears the film doesn’t “mirror” the Wells case — beyond the pizza-bomber plot device — or go anywhere near paralleling Wells’ death. It’s still too close for comfort for some people, however. Jerry Clark, 50, the since-retired FBI agent who led the investigation after watching the bomb kill Wells from 30 feet away, said he watched the trailer for “30 Minutes or Less” because “I was so curious myself.” “Having been on the scene the day that it happened and watching the device detonate, linking that with a comedy, that’s sort of difficult for me to comprehend,” said Clark, who is co-writing a book on the case with Erie

Times-News reporter Ed Palattella. “The tragedy of the day itself doesn’t, to me, translate to a comedy from my perspective.” The movie is unlikely to offend anyone unless they’re intimately

familiar with Wells or the criminal case — like Heid or Clark, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box office division of Hollywood.com and a movie business analyst for the AP.

square foot. Of course, saying it’s the cheapest new high school is a tad misleading; only one other high schoolisonthestatelistof12new buildings that year. But even if you look at all those schools, Dallas came in the second cheapest – no small accomplishment, considering high schools, by their nature, tend to cost Galicki more than elementary or middle schools. Data from the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities lists the average cost of a high school in 2010 at $205 per square foot, compared to about $185 for elementary and middle schools, though costs vary by region. Among the schools on Pennsylvania’s 2009 list, the most expensive was a new high school in Bethel Park School District – a southern suburb of Pittsburgh – which cost $212 per square foot. The least expensive was an elementary school in Elizabethtown Area School District, about midway between Harrisburg and

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke participated in the G-7 call. Asian stocks fell early today but losses were contained amid the G-7 promise. Japan’s Nikkei 225 stock average was down 1.3 percent at 9,178.30 and Seoul’s Kospi dropped 1.6 percent to 1,913.58. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng tumbled 2.6 percent to 20,409.01 while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 pared its initial sell-off to be down 1 percent at 4,062.70. Futures pointed to losses on Wall Street when it opens today. Dow futures were off 225 points, or 2 percent, at 11,177 and broader S&P 500 futures shed 23.6, or 2 percent, to 1,174.20. Even before the downgrade, the Dow Jones industrial average last week fell nearly 700 points, or 6 percent. Investors were worried because economic signals in the U.S. and overseas were pointing toward trouble: •On July 29, the government dramatically lowered its estimate of how much the economy grew during the first quarter. It had said the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.3 percent, but revised that number down to 0.4 percent. Second-quarter growth was also weak, a 1.3 percent rate. •European officials are trying to help Italy — the world’s eighthlargest economy — avoid the kind of bailouts that Greece, Portugal and Spain were forced to accept to prevent them from defaulting on their debt. And those

bailouts haven’t solved all the problems in those countries. •The first reports on the economy during the third quarter have been mixed. Manufacturing, which helped pull the economy out of the recession, fell to its weakest level since July 2009 — the month after the recession officially ended. The Labor Department said 117,000 jobs were created last month. But that came after 99,000 jobs were created in May and June combined — and 250,000 new jobs are needed each month to reduce unemployment. As a result, financial analysts interviewed Sunday said they expect markets to be volatile this week — and beyond. “We are in unchartered territory and, therefore, should all brace for volatility over a number of days if not weeks,” said Mohamed El-Erian, CEO and cochief investment officer of the bond mutual fund company PIMCO. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said he expected the downgrade to cause a selloff today. “There’s a lot of fear and misunderstanding and confusion, and that all could come out in the stock and bond markets. I don’t think it takes much to unnerve investors given the current environment. I think anything could drive investors to sell given how fragile sentiment is,” he said. Investors may get more insight on Tuesday, when the Federal Reserve holds a regularly scheduled meeting on the economy and interest rates. It’s expected the central bank will state that interest rates will need to remain at their current low levels for at least another year.

treasurer. While the news is still sinking in, the three watched their first race as holders of their new titles and responsibilities on Sunday. A family affair indeed. And fittingly, the winner, Brad Keselowski, is part of a racing family that includes father Bob, uncle Ron and brother Brian. And the second and third place finishers are the brothers Busch – Kyle and Kurt. Pocono and Indianapolis are the only two family-run racetracks on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit. And Brandon Igdalsky said he sees no reason for Indy to be alone on that list. He also doesn’t see any reason for the track to lose one of its two summer races, something that has been long rumored, even before he became track president two

er personnel have been trained to step in and perform emergency work assignments,” Verizon spokesman Rich Young said. Engleman said union members hope for “the least possible inconvenience” to customers. “And we’re ready to go back to work as soon as progress is made at the bargaining table.” Talks in Philadelphia and New York stalled Saturday night after Verizon continued to demand more than 100 concessions from workers regarding health care, pensions and work rules, according to the CWA. Contract negotiations began June 22. Mark C. Reed, Verizon’s executive vice president of human resources, called the outcome of the unions’ actions “regrettable” for customers and employees. “We will continue to do our part to reach a new contract that

York on the east side of the Susquehanna River. That school cost $113 per square foot. While admitting timing was a big help, Galicki credited district staff and school board members past and present for “a lot of due diligence” in keeping costs of the roughly $40 million structure down. The board had done substan-

tial research before hiring Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates to spearhead the project. It was Crabtree’s Project Manager Craig Zimmerman who touted the state report to the school board after a tour of the facility Aug. 1. Crabtree also noted it is working on three of the four lowestcost schools listed in the report.

The costs are based on district filings of “Part G” of the state’s “PlanCon” process – an 11-part process districts must go through to get state reimbursement for construction projects. Part G is based on actual construction bid costs. It does not include any changes after bids are received. Final accounting is done in Part J.

years ago. Igdalsky said other than plans already in the works for the track, he has no agenda and no tricks up his sleeve. His main goal is the same as his grandfather’s: Make the track a great place to watch a race, a family-friendly event and continue to be a part of NASCAR. Though Mattioli, 86, announced he and Rose were stepping away to “take it a little easy,” Igdalsky said he has no doubt his grandfather will be keeping a close watch over everything and letting him know what he’s doing right and wrong. “He’ll be barking orders,” Igdalsky said. “He’s not going to give that up.” “One day we’ll set our mark, but right now it’s continuing what he started,” Igdalsky said. He said he and his brother Nick have been increasing their involvement in recent years and will rely on their grandfather’s insight -- past, present and future. “We’ll still go to him and get his

ideas and see what he thinks. And if he tells us ‘Screw you, it’s awful,’ we’ll understand,” Igdalsky said. A native of Holland, Bucks County, Igdalsky said that when he began coming up to the track as a teenager, he was put to work cleaning up trash and doing whatever was needed. The June 1989 race was the first one he recalled working. Being family didn’t mean plumb jobs. Igdalsky worked at the track’s sewer plant at the track before handling hospitality and track services. Conversations with his grandfather were plentiful and Igdalsky began keeping a file he called “Docology.” “The knowledge that me and my brother and sister have learned from him is countless. We would sit with him for hours drilling his brain, and he would talk and we’d just listen. It was useful, to say the least,” Igdalsky said.

Inadditiontohisvicepresidential duties Sunday, Nick Igdalsky also spent some time behind the wheel of the No. 23 Fox Realty Chevrolet in the ARCA series race. He started 26th and finished 19th. The Pocono Summit resident earned degrees in marketing and management from Elon University in North Carolina. Ashley Igdalsky, of Long Pond, also graduated from Elon with a degree in communication and film, with a minor in photography, in 2002. She has held several positions at the raceway and also worked as a freelance assistant director for the Speed Channel. Most recently she has served as executive director of the nearby Village at Pocono, something her grandfather proudly touted during his retirement speech. The private gated community, literally across the street from Pocono Raceway, includes villas, an aquatic center, tennis courts and a playground.

reflects today’s economic realities in our wireline business and addresses the needs of all parties,” he said in a statement. Workers covered by the expired contract include 10,000 represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who serve as telephone and repair technicians, customer service representatives, operators and more. “Even at the 11th hour, as contracts were set to expire, Verizon continued to seek to strip away 50 years of collective bargaining gains for middle class workers and their families,” the CWA said in a statement Sunday. New York-based Verizon, the nation’s largest wireless carrier, has 196,000 workers; 135,000 are non-union. The CWA said the concessions are unjustified and harsh, given that Verizon is highly profitable — the company’s revenue rose 2.8 percent to $27.5 billion in the second quarter. Its growth was largely attributed to its wire-

less business. And, Engleman said, top Verizon management was paid about $268 million of that amount. “Our message since June 22 has been the simple: It’s about jobs, keeping good, family-sustaining, middle-class jobs. We want Verizon to be prosperous. We’re willing to cooperate and we have a long history of cooperation, but we’re not willing to give up 50 years of bargaining gains,” Engleman said. But Verizon said its wireline business has been in decline for more than a decade, and that it is asking for changes in the contract to strengthen the unit. The company said union employees contribute nothing to their health care premiums. A customer satisfaction survey released in May showed Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. ranked highest among the Big 4 wireless carriers. The survey polled 8,000 households in the first quarter of this year.

Verizon added 1.26 million wireless subscribers under contract in the April to June period this year, a result that flies in the face of the slowdown in new subscribers across the industry in the last two years. A year ago, Verizon added just 665,000 subscribers under contract. Verizon ended the last quarter with 106.3 million devices connected to its wireless network. No. 2 and chief rival AT&T is trying to leapfrog Verizon in size by buying No. 4 T-Mobile USA for $39 billion. Lowell McAdam, the former head of Verizon Wireless, became CEO of Verizon Communications Inc. on Aug. 1, replacing Ivan Seidenberg. Seidenberg, the longtime CEO, remains chairman of the company.

Vrabel, a 1984 graduate of Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove and co-owner of Snowbird Softball, which runs softball tournaments in South Carolina. “And I was feeling strong.” As part of the members’ support of literacy, the group visited local libraries along their way. Vrabel indicated that each library visit depended upon the nature of those who attended and on the requests of that specific library. In Clarksburg, W.Va., that meant participating in a reading activity for children that centered on monsters. In Seymour, Ind., it meant presenting a slide show based on the group’s journey to both children and adults. Vrabel said that in addition to encouraging reading and exercise as they biked through the country, the group also gained an appreciation for relationships with those from different parts of the country. For example, when the group was invited to stay overnight at the Wolf Sanctuary in Lucerne Valley, Calif., it was able to actually assist in tending to some of the wolves there. “One of the wolves was used as a model for the movie ‘Twilight,’ ” said Vrabel, who admitted with a laugh that he had never seen the movie. Vrabel said he was surprised that other cyclists did not join them for parts of their trip. However, he was also surprised that, again and again, he received input from others that they were reading at home, they were cycling in their own neighborhoods

or attempting to journal in their own living rooms. That made Vrabel smile, believing that he might not only have influenced people across the country, but also that he might have motivated people in some way to become more balanced and healthy intellectually or physically. His favorite example is his own younger brother, who did not join them, but who was committed to reading and to riding his stationary bike on a regular basis. Vrabel’s father, Frank Vrabel, or “Big Frank,” of Denville, N.J., also had his own healthy goals to work toward, even as he drove the RV in support of the group. He stopped drinking caffeinated beverages throughout the trip and is committed to continuing a healthy lifestyle. Vrabel also gained an appreciation for the diversity and spirituality of those throughout the country. He once again quoted his favorite passage from John Steinbeck’s “Travels with Charlie”: “Once a journey is designed, equipped and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration is an entity, different from other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness.” Vrabel said he was determined to live his life as a purposeful journey, implementing healthy principles and intellectual engagement. He encourages those who are interested in learning more about the journey or in providing input in regard to their own journey, to go to the group’s Facebook page titled “Bikes, Books, and Beyond.”

LONG POND -- Kurt Busch couldn’t play favorites in this one.

Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski and younger brother Kyle Busch ended up finishing first and sec- Kurt Busch ond, respectively. Naturally there was another option that Kurt Busch could have lived with, too. “Have my teammate and little brother wreck each other,” Kurt joked. “But you don’t want them to wreck each other. Just as long as it was anybody but the 48 (winning).” That, of course, would be five-time defending Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson, with whom Kurt Busch traded paint during the final lap. Kurt Busch took third and Johnson finished fourth at Pocono Raceway. Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet and Kurt Busch’s No. 22 Dodge took turns slamming into each other before the finish line, prompting an animated post-race conversation between the two. Both felt the other had initiated the contact. Kurt Busch didn’t deny that he intentionally gave a shot or two back at

SAN FRANCISCO — Tim Lincecum stayed sharp until getting hit in the right knee by Chase Utley’s bounding bat and the San Francisco Giants ended the Philadelphia Phillies’ season-high nine-game winning streak, tagging Roy Oswalt and beating the Phillies 3-1 Sunday afternoon.

Lincecum (10-9) went down in the eighth inning when Utley accidentally lost his grip and the bat skittered toward the mound.

CAMPING WORLD TRUCK

Harvick dominant in truck race Sprint Cup regular led 44 of 53 laps in race that was red-flagged by rain Saturday and finished on Sunday.

By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

LONG POND – Nothing could stop Kevin Harvick over the two days of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway. Not the weather on Saturday. Not a green-white-checkered restart Sunday. Harvick led 44 of 53 laps on his

way to a dominating victory in the Good Sam RV Emergency Road Service 125. “That’s one of the shortest races I’ve raced in a long time, and the strategy changes a little bit,” said Harvick, a Sprint Cup regular. “You’ve got to get out there quick and try to put yourself in position quick on strategy, and you don’t have a lot of chances to make things happen if you’re off the pace.” Harvick never was off the pace as he won for the 10th time in 110 career truck series races. He moved into a tie for 10th with the late Bobby Ha-

milton for all-time victories on the circuit. Harvick started on the pole and led the first 14 laps before rain began falling on Saturday afternoon. He and other frontrunners pitted under caution, but when the race was redflagged on lap 17, Parker Kligerman was in the lead. Kligerman had stayed on the track. Kligerman remained the leader for only a handful of laps when the race resumed Sunday morning. Harvick was back in front on lap 24 and stayed there. Even the green-white-checkered

restart that sent the race into three extra laps didn’t matter. Harvick was dominant. Kyle Busch, the only other Cup regular in the field, finished second. “We were all over the place just trying to make something out of nothing there,” Busch said. “We knew we didn’t have anything there for (Harvick) so (I was) just making sure that we could at least minimize our losses for owners points and get back up to second.” AP PHOTO Rounding out the top-five finishers Kevin Harvick poses in victory lane were James Buescher, Johnny Sauter after winning the NASCAR Truck Series race Sunday at Pocono Raceway. and Austin Dillon.

Dark clouds move over the grandstands at Pocono Raceway on Sunday in Long Pond, Pa. Brad Keselowski won the rain-interrupted NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race earlier in the day.

his trailer without speaking after his pole position and midrace lead turned into a 26thplace finish at Pocono Raceway. “What can you do?” his crew chief Greg Zipadelli asked. “We did all we could, started on the pole, led a bunch of laps. I’m not going to hang my head and be miserable over something on the track.” That something quickly deflated one of Logano’s tires, not to mention his victory hopes. He was running eighth in his No. 20 Home Depot Toyota with less than 60 laps remaining when Logano lost handling after a tire quickly deflated. He pulled onto pit road to pick up four fresh tires, but his shot at

Johnson, but said it was just a natural part of a race. “For us to beat the 48 is a great feeling,” Kurt Busch said. “We’ve had our battles and we’ve had a lot of times where we got the short end of the stick. “What happened at the end there, that’s just racing. That’s what race fans come to see -- to see drivers mix it up out there and do it clean, like we were doing.” Beyond that, though, Kurt Busch bristled at further ques-

for a win until lap 129, the first lap after a rain delay of one hour and 40 minutes. That’s when most of the frontrunners pitted except for Keselowski and Kurt Busch. “We got that rain delay, which was a great recharge session for me,” said Keselowski, who wore a brace on his left foot. “It’s what we needed. Everything just kind

reclaiming the lead went sour. Logano slipped out of the top 20, and never seriously challenged again. “We just got a flat,” Zipadelli said. “We must have run over something on the infield. We made the right call getting out.” But even before that, Logano was falling out of contention. When racing finally resumed on lap 131 following a 1 hour, 40 minute rain delay plus seven laps run under caution, Logano immediately skidded out of the lead. He dipped to third place, then to eighth, then out of the victory mix altogether. “Yeah, I think the track (surface) changed a bit,” Zipadelli said, explaining the difference between driving conditions prior to the rain and afterwards. “Then it was starting to come back to where it was. Just before that (ensuing) yellow

(caution) came out, the lap times were pretty good.” They were even better for Logano before the skies over Pocono Raceway opened. He claimed the pole position - his first at Pocono - with a strong run Saturday, then stayed out front for 43 of Sunday’s first 124 laps. Logano was in the lead on lap 124 when a short but hard rain puddled Pocono’s track, causing concerns that it may not dry in time for a restart of the race. It would have been fine with Logano if everything ended right there, because he would have his second rain-shortened victory following a win in similar style at New Hampshire. “As the leader, you want to take them any way you can,” Logano said during the delay. “Our Home Depot Toyota is fast.” Just as quickly, though, his

excitement was washed away. Instead of soaking up his second victory of the season which would have thrown him into immediate contention to make the Chase field since number of victories is a wild card criteria - Logano slid off the radar. He’s saddled in 20th place after Sunday’s finish, and now needs a few huge finishes over the season’s final five races to make up enough ground to be included in the 12-car field competing for the Chase for the Championship. So it’d be best for Logano to let Sunday’s sloppy finish slide off his back. “Last thing I want to do is walk out of here with a bad attitude,” Zipadelli said, “and kill the momentum we’d had the last few weeks.” Even if, on a soggy Sunday at Pocono, some of that momentum got stuck in the mud.

tions about his exchange with Johnson -- in their cars and then out of them after the race. “Here we go -- People Magazine here. Glad you asked,” said Kurt Busch, piling on the sarcasm. “We were racing hard. That’s exactly what we saw on TV. That’s what should be reported. We raced him hard today, and I have no regrets about it. I’m glad we did.” Kurt Busch was upset in part because the incident with Johnson seemed to overshadow his third-place finish. Though he is all but a lock to qualify for the Chase -- sitting fourth in the points standings with just five races left in the

regular season -- Kurt Busch has not had an easy time reaching that level. He lamented on Sunday that his car tends to fade as the race goes along -- a fact that has frustrated his whole team. What helped in this race was a lengthy rain delay that allowed him to start fresh and run out front with the track cooled down. It’s one of many examples this season of how the No. 22 crew has to take advantage of every opening to succeed. “That’s what I try to do each and every week,” Kurt Busch said. “Some days it feels like we’re running uphill. I feel like we’ve got a very good, a top-10

car, but we have to work hard an find a unique way to win. “So when I show frustration, people get excited and say, ‘He’s lost his focus. But we just brought in a third-place finish." And that’s what he hopes people remember from the race. “It’s a day that needs to be documented as Keselowski’s win and not the feud between the 22 and the 48,” Kurt Busch said. Of course, he couldn’t resist throwing in one last parting shot. “If you watch that tape, you’ll see that the 48 swerved into us first. And I know that without even watching the tape.”

of came together.” The track position proved valuable as the race went on a long green-flag stretch with Kurt Busch out front followed by Kyle Busch and Keselowski. “I remember Brad coming on the radio and said if we got track position, we’d be in pretty good shape there,” Keselowski’s crew chief Paul Wolfe said. Kyle Busch eventually gained the lead, but his good fortune ran out on lap 184 of the 200-lap race when Kasey Kahne and Juan

Montoya tangled and crashed. “That last caution killed us,” Kyle Busch said. “I just hated to see that. I was really hoping we’d go green the rest of the way. Our car was fast out front when I could run my own pace and run my own line.” Instead, Kyle Busch had to worry about third-place Jimmie Johnson right behind him on the restart, allowing Keselowski to gain an advantage. The final 16 laps came down to a duel between Keselowski and

Kyle Busch, with the latter able to close within a few car lengths at times but unable to make a solid move for the lead. Meanwhile, Kurt Busch watched from behind with little hope for victory as he and Johnson bumped and banged in the final laps. “I was rooting for those two guys in front of me – my teammate (Keselowski) and my little brother – to wreck each other, but not to wreck each other,” said Kurt Busch, who had a heated ar-

LONG POND – After Ty Dillon won his third consecutive ARCA Series race of the season Sunday morning at Pocono Raceway, the obvious question was where the next step in the process would lead him. Perhaps to NASCAR if things fall into place for the 19-year-old Lewisville, N.C., native. “Our plan has been to try to move up to the truck series next year, depending on sponsorship,” Dillon said after his win in the Pennsylvania 125. “We have some things coming together. Getting all these wins is definitely helping.” All those wins didn’t just come in the last three races. Dillon has seven in all through just 13 races. “Getting seven wins in any series is such an accomplishment,” Dillon said. “Three in a row is just incredible. I can’t thank everybody enough.” Dillon will go for four in a row on Aug. 21 at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. A victory there would mark the first time an ARCA racer won four consecutive races since Parker Kligerman in 2009. Dillon led 34 laps of the 50lap race. Tim George Jr., who won under caution at Pocono in June, was second. “I thought the car was off on handling,” George said. “But when the tires came in, it really came into itself and really started to get good. So we started climbing the ladder. We didn’t have the best pit stop today. When we won here, we had great pit stops. “The guys worked hard, but actually when they dropped the car I spun the tires and lost at least three or four spots on pit lane, but we made it up on the race run.” Chris Buescher placed third. He was second in June. “After the race here earlier this year, we were hoping to improve one spot,” Buescher said. “We lost one, but it was a really good run. The car seemed really good.” The race started with a wild ride for Buster Graham. Graham’s Dodge was struck in the rear heading into turn 1, skidded across the wet grass, vaulted over a triple-stacked inside guardrail and landed upright. gument with Johnson after the race. “Of course, I wanted both of them to win and I wanted to win. Anybody by (Johnson), and us three came home up front.” Johnson ended in fourth place and Ryan Newman in fifth. Keselowski also became the only driver ranked from 11-20 in the points standings with two victories. Two drivers from that group will earn wild-card berths in the Chase, with victories the first factor to advance.

Dixon pulls away to win Mid-Ohio IndyCar By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

LEXINGTON, Ohio — There were no hand signals — angry or friendly — when Scott Dixon passed teammate Dario Franchitti to take the lead for good during a restart 24 laps from the finish of Sunday’s IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio. “I didn’t wave,” Dixon said, as both he and Franchitti laughed. That was as close as the two Target Chip Ganassi drivers would come again until parking

on pit row after Dixon streaked to a comfortable win to again show his mastery over the tight and treacherous road course at Mid-Ohio. Franchitti was coming out of pit row under a yellow flag on lap 61 when he pinched in on Dixon as he was coming out of the home straight. Dixon took the edge, fought off several close calls in the next few laps and then was never headed. “I wanted to get a good jump

with Dario and stay on the outside through (turn) 4. But he took off like a bloody cannon,” Dixon said. “So the only option I had was to slip back inside. Dario went back to the typical line, which is what you have to do — which left the inside open. It was a perfect scenario for me. He gave me plenty of room and that was that.” Franchitti was pleased that, if he couldn’t take the checkered flag, it was his teammate who

did. He also said the pass at the end of the first straight was critical. “I was able to go a lap longer than Scott,” Franchitti said of his wait to refuel and get fresh tires. “I beat him out. I got a good restart, but Scott just pulled in and drafted me. Before the braking zone (at the end of pit row) he was alongside. He did a great job on that restart, as he did on every lap this weekend. He’s been on fire.”

ing out of state for nearly 10 years, he was amazed to find how many more people were on bikes or running trails. “If you compare the 1990s to today, there are so many cyclists and runners out on the roads and trails,” said Cable. NEPA Cycling, in its third year of existence -- with its slate of six professional Criterium cycling races in Luzerne and Wyoming counties -- is one of many athletic organizations and events that have evolved from the 32.5-mile WilkesBarre Triathlon. The City of Wilkes-Barre Duathlon follows a similar format as the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon. The Duathlon, held on Father’s Day every year, features a 3-mile run, 16-mile bike and another 3-mile run. Like the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon, teams are formed in which three participants compete in one portion of the event. Add to that the large number of running events in the area, and athletes have many opportunities for competition. “That’s what we’re trying to build,” said Cable. “There are a lot of people who are interested in these races. We’re trying to get athletes together to compete in some of these regional events.” Cable said that events like the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon are integral to luring others into the sports. To create broader appeal, races are reaching out to get kids involved, such as NEPACycling.com’s Jack Williams Tire Youth Challenge races. “The triathlon has a big following,” he stated. “I’ve heard stories of people who were at a race and decided to get in the sport and purchase a bicycle. “We make races that are not just athlete-friendly but spectator-friendly. That’s how I got into racing.” Now the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon, according to race director Joanne Gensel, is in the early stages of incorporating a sprint race along with its current format. The sprint race, Gensel said, will be half the distance of the regular course. The current distances would mean the sprint racers will swim approximately 0.75 kilometers, cycle 20 km and run 5.5 km. The Wilkes-Barre Triathlon sprint race is intended for novice competitors. “A lot of people do sprints because they think a triathlon might be too difficult,” said Gensel.

ATLANTA — Alex Meruelo and the Atlanta Hawks are poised to make NBA history. The Hawks have scheduled a news conference for today to announce the team and Philips Arena are being sold to Meruelo, a person familiar with the deal said Sunday. The son of Cuban immigrants is a California developer and pizza chain owner. He is expected to become the NBA’s first Hispanic majority owner. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made. The deal is subject to the approval of the NBA. The team will remain in Atlanta.

mida, who then advanced to third on a wild pitch, Banuelos got the next three batters out on a grounder, a line out in the infield and a flyout to end the Bats’ scoring chance. The 20-year-old left-hander accomplished a similar feat in the fifth inning when Michael Griffin led off the stanza with a double. He was sacrificed to third by Jose Castro. Banuelos then got Chris Valaika to ground out to the pitcher and struck out Juan Francisco to end the inning with Louisville holding a 2-1 lead. “I thought he did a good job,” Yankees manager Dave Miley said about his starter. “Any time you send a guy out there – he went six innings instead of five – it gives us a chance to win and that’s all you can ask for.” With Banuelos stopping Bats’ rallies, he gave the Yankees offense the opportunity to stay close. SWB tied the score at 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth when Luis Nunez and Chris Dickerson had hits and Nunez came home on an error. The Yankees took a 4-2 lead the next inning on a two-run shot by Brandon Laird, his 12th homer of the season. But a two-run homer by Louisville’s Chris Valaika tied the score at 4-4 in the top of the seventh with SWB one strike away from the win. An RBI double from Kristopher Negron in the eighth gave the Bats the win. The Yankees salvaged the second game, coming back from a 3-0 deficit entering the bottom of the fifth. They evened the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the fifth when Dan Brewer drove in one on a double and Doug Bernier brought home two on a single. “We did a good job of coming back to score three runs to tie it up especially since we could have just played the game having lost the first one,” said Mike Lamb, who delivered the gamewinning hit in Game 2. Lamb’s game-winner scored Bernier with one out in the bottom of the seventh. Bernier was on third and Dickerson was on first. Louisville decided to play the infield and outfield in and the hit from Lamb sailed into the gap in right-center. “The guys in front of me made my job a lot easier by being on first and third and the infield in; no double play,” Lamb added. “Coming up in that situation,

even if I hit a ground ball, the game’s not over and we still have another opportunity to win the game.” Another bright spot for SWB in the second game was the performance by reliever Andrew Brackman. The righty, who has struggled for most of the season largely due to control issues, pitched out of the bullpen and threw 2 2/3 innings. He struck out four, walked only one, hit two batters and gave up just one run. Of his 55 pitches, 37 were for strikes. “He hit the two batters ... and gave up the one run, but other than that he was solid for us,” Miley added. Notes: Sunday’s announced attendance was 4,682...The time of Game 1 was 2 hours, 36 minutes and the second game lasted 2:14...Yankees power hitter Jorge

Vazquez combined to go 2-for-6 in the two games. His home run total stayed at 27, but he’s just three away from the franchise record for longballs in a season set by Shelley Duncan in 2009. Vazquez has 81 RBI and is just 25 away from the franchise record of 106 set by the Red Baron’s Torey Lovullo in 1999.

DALLAS -- Saturday’s weather cost the entire field at the Potentate Tournament a chance to compete in their respective flights. As it turns out, it was severe enough to suspend the last day of the tournament as well. Sunday’s final round of the Potentate Tournament at Irem Temple Country Club was suspended due to poor course conditions from the weekend’s rainfall. Because Saturday and Sunday’s action were suspended before all golfers could complete their rounds, Friday’s qualifying round was used to determine the winners of the championship flight and the remaining flights. Jim Breck and John Mulhern posted the best score during the opening round with a score of 4under-par 68, thus giving them the championship in an unusual manner. “There were a lot of good teams in the tournament,” said Breck. “I’m sure it doesn’t sit well with other teams. Everyone wanted to continue playing.” Mulhern unknowingly sank the tournament-winning shot on the18th green with his short birdie putt. They had been tied at 3-underpar going into the final hole because of a bogey on No. 17. “It’s always nice to win,” Mulhern said, although he would have rather finished played the remaining rounds of the championship flight. “It’s unfortunate, but I respect what the grounds crew attendant decided to do. You don’t want to ruin the course over it,” he said. Mulhern’s teammate shared similar feelings about losing two days of play because of the weather. “Unfortunately, the weather washed the tournament out,” Breck said. “There was no way they could continue with it. Everyone was disappointed because there was nothing anyone wanted to do but play golf. “You can’t control the weather.” The teams of Brian Corbett-Jim Blinn and Roy Smith-Mike Lazevnick finished in a tie for second place at 3-under par. As for the teams in the remain-

ing flights, winners were also determined by their qualifying scores. For example: In Flight No. 1, the duo of Brett Slocum and Chris Brojakowski bested the three other teams in their flight with a score of 72 (+2) from Friday. The other three teams were tied at 75.

Strasburg: 4Ks in 1st rehab start The Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Stephen Strasburg spent the last 11 months doing more than just rehabilitating his elbow. He spent it getting himself in better shape. If anything, that should make him an even more powerful pitcher than he was as a rookie, a daunting prospect for National League hitters in years to come. The Washington Nationals’ most prized possession was on target and up to speed Sunday in his first rehab start since Tommy John surgery. Twenty-five of 31 pitches were strikes, his fastball was in the upper 90s, and he struck out four while allowing one run over 1 2-3 innings for the Class A Hagerstown Suns in a 7-5 loss to the Greensboro Grasshop-

pers. “When you’ve got the adrenaline going out there, you don’t really know how you’re going to feel as far as being able to throw the ball where you want to throw it,” Strasburg said. “I went out there and it seemed like once they said ‘Play ball,’ I kind of just got that feeling back real quick.” More telling is the fact that Strasburg says his delivery is feeling better than it did pre-surgery. “It honestly does — I get on top of the ball a lot better. I’m able to drive the ball down into the zone a lot better, a lot more efficiency,” he said. “Before, I just wasn’t in as good a shape. ... I think the biggest reason I broke down is because I just got tired. I wasn’t necessarily prepared for a full season.”

Scott wins 1st World title with Woods’ caddie life.” That would include 13 majors, including an unprecedented four in a row through the 2001 Masters. Fans chanted Williams’ name as he walked toward the 18th green, and Williams smiled back. One fan shouted out, “How do you like him now, Tiger?” By then, Woods was long gone.

New Zealand to America before Woods told him he would not be at Congressional. Williams worked for Scott again at the AT&T National, the tournament that benefits Woods’ foundation, and Woods said he fired him after the final round. Woods said he told him faceto-face. Williams said Sunday that Woods fired him over the phone.

After missing three months with a leg injury, he finished a tournament for the first time since the Masters on April 10 and closed with a 70 to tie for 37th, 18 shots behind. Williams referred to himself as a “great front-runner” in a CBS Sports interview on the 18th green, even though he didn’t hit a shot. The sideshow took away from a high level of golf.

AKRON, Ohio — Adam Scott hit all the right shots Sunday in a round that was close to flawless and earned him his first World Golf Championship title. He celebrated with a caddie who has won quite a few more. Steve Williams, fired last month by Tiger Woods after a 12-year partnership, felt like a bigger winner when Scott rolled in one last birdie for a 5-under 65 and a four-shot victory in the Bridgestone Invitational. Williams, who had been on Woods’ bag for 72 wins — including 13 majors and 16 world titles — called it “the best win of my life.” It was Scott who hit the shots, such as a chip-in for birdie on the 12th and a birdie putt just inside 30 feet on the 14th that enabled him to pull away from 19-year-old Ryo Ishikawa over the final hour at Firestone. Even so, Williams became part of the show this week, especially since Woods was playing for the first time in nearly three months. Williams took a jab at Woods in an interview off the 18th green by saying that of his 145 wins in

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Saban: Alabama QBs doing things in positive way By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The questions around town and campus come at Phillip Sims like a relentless defensive end — one he doesn’t try to dodge. Which quarterback will take the reins for potential national title contender Alabama this season? Sims, or AJ McCarron? “People are going to ask you questions about it no matter where you are,” said Sims, a redshirt freshman. “I think running from it is only going to make things worse. Just face it. It’s a competition and everybody wants to know what’s going on.” That hasn’t changed since

Greg McElroy played his final down for the Crimson Tide. While it’s the most persistent question facing the national title hopefuls, neither the coaches, the other players nor the two contenders seems to be sweating it too much. “I’ve been really happy with how both have grasped the things we ask them to do,” offensive coordinator Jim McElwain said. “I wouldn’t say one has one thing more than another. They both fit really well in the system we’re putting in to use their abilities.” And if the fans’ questions haven’t gone away, both McElwain and the players have been shielded from speaking before cameras or tape recorders. Sun-

day’s media day is the only time McElwain — or any other assistant — is scheduled to speak to reporters annually. Sims and McCarron had been off-limits since last season, too. What became clear after they did talk? They’re friends. They’re both confident in each other and themselves. And there’s not a huge difference in styles. McCarron, a third-year sophomore, has been on campus a few months longer, while Sims enrolled in January. Unlike Sims, he has logged a few snaps, including a desperation drive in the final seconds of a loss to Auburn. How does McCarron avoid the subject? “I try not to get interviewed a lot.”

“It comes with the position,” he said. “Especially at Alabama, everybody wants to know who the quarterback is at all times. Me and Phillip, we know what’s going on, and we don’t let any of that bother us. We’re out every day pushing each other to get better. We’re friends. It’s not a rivalry at all. We’re not enemies. We don’t let that stuff get to us. “Everybody blows it up to make it like a rivalry, like we hate each other. Me and him just laugh it off. It’s nothing like that. We both know that we’re very good quarterbacks, and we’re both confident in our play.” Saban has indicated they’re running even and that both could play early in the season.

“I think both guys have done a really, really good job. They’ve worked hard,” he said. “They are both the kind of guys who spend a lot of time trying to learn what they need to do. They enjoy that part of the game. Gym rats, if you want to call them that. Both guys do a good job of affecting their teammates. Basically the team was doing 7-on-7 all summer three days a week. “Coaches can’t supervise that. They have to do that completely on their own. The quarterbacks basically manage it for the entire offense. Those guys did an outstanding job. So I’m pleased with both guys. It would make it a little easier to make a determina-

tion if both guys weren’t doing things in a very positive way.” Both were heavily recruited. A couple of recruiting services rated Sims the nation’s top quarterback prospect two years ago after he led Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, Va., to a 48-4 record as a four-year starter. McCarron threw 66 touchdown passes and just nine interceptions in three seasons at Saint Paul’s Episcopal in Mobile, Ala., and won a state title. He quickly passed once-prized recruit Star Jackson — who later transferred — in his redshirt year and would have been McElroy’s replacement if he’d been hurt in the national title game.

NFL

Reid won’t speculate on Jackson, Maclin

BETHLEHEM — Eagles coach Andy Reid was ignoring reports Sunday that wide receiver DeSean Jackson would end his holdout and report to training camp Monday, as various media outlets have indicated. “We’ll see,” Reid said. “I haven’t really focused on that. I haven’t talked to him. If he’s here, more power to him. If he’s not, like I told you before, my focus is to make sure that I get the guys that are here coached up.” Jackson, a two-time Pro Bowler, will earn $565,000 this season, the last on his four-year rookie deal. If he does not report by Tuesday, he stands to lose a year of service time toward free agency. He caught 47 passes for 1,056 yards and six touchdowns last year, and his 22.5 yard-per-catch average was best in the NFL. He also averaged 11.6 yards on 20 punt returns, including a 65yarder for a touchdown that beat the Giants on the last play of a Dec. 19 game in the Meadowlands. Philadelphia’s other starting wide receiver, Jeremy Maclin, is in camp but unable to practice because of an undisclosed illness. Reid said Maclin is still undergoing tests, and would not speculate when he might return. He had previously said that he expected to have Maclin in time for the Sept. 11 season opener in St. Louis. Maclin led the Eagles with 70 receptions last year. Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, the team’s biggest free agent signing, was among those who did not practice Sunday because of what Reid described as upper-leg inflammation. Defensive end Trent Cole also sat out because of elbow bursitis. Neither condition is believed to be serious. The Eagles continue to be without starting defensive tackle Mike Patterson, who had a seizure during drills on Wednesday. No timetable has been set for his return. Offensive tackle Winston Justice (knee) has missed all of training camp, and

C A M P S R O U N D U P defensive tackle Trevor Laws is out with a hip injury. Safety Nate Allen returned to practice Sunday. He missed most of last season with a knee injury and was held out of Saturday’s drills for precautionary reasons. Veteran wide receiver Jason Avant provided the day’s biggest highlight on the field, making a spectacular diving catch of Michael Vick’s pass for a touchdown, despite the coverage of cornerback Dominique RodgersCromartie. Cornerback Asante Samuel, the subject of trade speculation, had earlier intercepted a pass by backup QB Mike Kafka and returned it for a would-be TD, eliciting loud cheers from the fans. SAINTS METAIRIE, La. — Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson spent his entire first training camp listening to defensive coordinator Gregg Williams constantly berate him. His second camp has started much better — less screaming and more playing time. Robinson, the Saints firstround pick in the 2010 draft, is working with the first-team defense while incumbent Tracy Porter continues to rehabilitate his left knee after offseason surgery. And eight practices into training camp, Williams is singing Robinson’s praises, saying he’s having a “phenomenal camp.” JETS FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Derrick Mason chose to sign with the New York Jets because the veteran wide receiver felt they offered the best chance to win a Super Bowl ring. The former Baltimore star signed a two-year deal with the Jets on Sunday, picking them over the Ravens and Tennessee Titans — his two previous teams. Mason, 37, fills the void created when the Jets granted

Jerricho Cotchery’s request to be released. Mason spent his first eight seasons with the Tennessee franchise before playing the last six with Baltimore. He was released by the Ravens on July 28, a move he says “blindsided” him, but he holds no grudge toward Baltimore. Mason says he expects to begin practicing with the team “ASAP,” adding he should be ready to go Monday.

BILLS PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills starting cornerback Drayton Florence has a sprained ankle that will keep him out of the team’s preseason opener at Chicago next weekend. Coach Chan Gailey spoke after practice Sunday, saying Florence will miss up to a week. The defensive back was hurt a day earlier when he landed awkwardly while defending a receiver in the end zone. The eight-year NFL veteran was the Bills’ most consistent cornerback last season. He resigned with the team prior to training camp. Starting left tackle Demetrius Bell left practice early Sunday after straining his shoulder. Gailey says the injury will likely keep Bell out for a few days.

list. BROWNS BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns’ day off came at a good time for punter Richmond McGee. While the respite Sunday gave cornerback Joe Haden’s hamstring time to heal and put wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi a day closer to getting a cast off his left leg without losing more time learning a new offense, McGee just needed a breather. Brought in for a tryout and signed after starter Reggie Hodges sustained a seasonending Achilles tendon injury, McGee is trying to capitalize on his best chance to gain a starting job in the NFL. After one year on the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad and two more in that role in Chicago before being released Monday by the Bears, the 28year-old has yet to kick in a regular game. That could change with a good exhibition season, starting Saturday against the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers.

We are describing our current weather pattern as “active.” When you hear us say that, it means keep the umbrella handy. A series of waves (area of low pressure) will be moving through our region over the next several days. Showers and thunderstorms will develop during the afternoon today, tomorrow and Wednesday as these waves move through. Showers will be possible anytime during the afternoon and early evening. I do see some dry weather coming towards the end of the work week. Today, morning sun will be followed by a partly sunny afternoon. Scattered showers and T-storms are possible. -Kurt Aaron

In-laws’ use of leftover meat meets dogged resistance from the cook Dear Abby: My inlaws have a small dog, “Fluffy,” who has come to rule their lives. We frequently have them over for dinner, and they insist on taking home a portion of whatever meat was served to give to their dog. I’m not talking about scraps from everyone’s plates — the amount they take would be a serving for another meal. I have objected to this practice in the past, but each time they come for dinner they seem to have “forgotten” the lesson. I don’t like it! How can I tactfully tell them not to take meat from my table for Fluffy? — “Steaking” My Claim, St. Petersburg, Fla.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear “Steaking”: You already have told your in-laws not to take the meat you are serving for their dog. Either their memories are failing, or your feelings aren’t important to them. Suggestion: When you have them to dinner, set up the plates in your kitchen rather than have dishes on the table, and immediately refrigerate any meat you haven’t served. Or consider serving your in-laws a meatless dinner. Dear Abby: My husband, “Bud,” retired a year ago and now does almost nothing with his life. He calls himself

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

a “house husband,” but that’s a lie. All he does is watch TV or play on his computer all day while I work full time outside the home. Our house has become a pigsty. If I try to do some cleaning, Bud gets mad and says he’ll do it “later.” Later comes and goes. Returning to a filthy house after work is driving me crazy. He doesn’t even do the grocery shopping; I have to do it on my lunch hour. Any advice on how I can get his rear end off the couch and get him to assume some responsibilities? I don’t usually nag, but I’m so mad I’m taking out my frustrations on my exercise bike. It’s making me very fit, but I’m still upset about his lack of ambition. — Wife of a Lazy Slob

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Wife: You and Bud have a communication problem. Rather than scold him about his inactivity, try to get him to tell you (calmly) what his “vision” of retirement is. You may find that it’s very different from yours. If Bud was always a “lazy slob,” then face it — that’s the person you married. However, if this is a recent, radical change in his behavior, you should insist he be examined by his doctor. But taking out your frustrations on your exercise bike is not a solution, and you may have to decide if this is how you want to live the rest of your life. Dear Abby: I work in a small office of eight people, and we have two restrooms — one for the men, the other for the women. Recently the women’s

restroom was out of order and we had to use the men’s room. In a case like this, what is proper etiquette? Do we girls put the seat back up when we are finished, or leave it down? The guys in the office said it should be left up. — He Said, She Said Dear H.S.S.S.: I say that because both sexes are using the same restroom — which makes it temporarily unisex — the toilet seat should be left down. 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). The decisions you make (or don’t make) about money will have a longstanding effect now. This is your moment to act. Investments are favored, too. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know your limits, and you also know that certain people are likely to push you past them. Avoid these overly encouraging types, and if you can’t manage to do that, then let them know that you are the boss of you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be made well aware that some people don’t agree with your line of reasoning. You’ll seek the company of those who are likeminded. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is beauty in unfinished business. It’s still ripe with possibility. Don’t be too quick to get things done and over with. Linger in the lively, creative land of limbo for a while. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may not have the technical expertise to pull off a task. But don’t let that stop you. Bring your joy to the situation — that is exciting and useful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It has been said that it takes money to make money. Now the question is: Whose money are you going to use? You may not want the risk, but the one who pays the most stands to gain the most. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be attracted to the outsiders, and they feel safe with you. You refuse to pressure anyone to conform to the real world, especially since you’re not entirely sure how real it is to begin with.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may be using a term regularly without completely understanding the meaning of it. Look the words up in a dictionary so you can speak with confidence. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are patient and will wait for loved ones who are moving at a different pace. This evening, you break out on your own so you can be as fast, wild and free as you feel. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be making a weighty decision. Though it would be much easier for you to base this on a few key factors that relate mostly to you, you will take a more responsible route. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s been said that character is destiny. Don’t worry too much about going left or going right. As long as you are “doing you” at every turn, you’ll meet with the highest and best fate for you and everyone else involved. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though there’s nothing wrong with being strong-willed, sometimes these types are simply too taxing for you, and you’d rather spend time in the presence of easygoing company. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 8). The lucky 8/8 birthday signifies a reflective and thoughtful style, even when you’re putting on a show like a typical Leo. There will be a technological upgrade to your lifestyle in September. December and February bring extra money. Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 24, 19, 15 and 32.
