A thorough review Monday of

Luzerne County 911s computer-

ized database refutes a claim made
by Hazletons police chief that call-
ers could not get through last week
to report a man was shot, the inter-
im 911 director said.
The database logs all calls made
to the center including those
not picked up by a phone operator
and there were no missed calls
in the half-hour
period before
the July 5 shoot-
ing, interim
911 Executive
Director Fred
Rosencrans said.
On Friday,
Hazleton Police
Chief Frank
DeAndrea blasted the county
emergency dispatch agency, saying
the victim remained bleeding on
the street after the 1:40 a.m. shoot-
ing because people at the scene
couldnt get an answer at 911 until
2 a.m.
I am saying with certainty it
didnt happen the way it was por-
trayed, Rosencrans said.
Rosencrans said he had already
checked three phone numbers sup-
plied by DeAndrea of people who
said they had called the center that
morning and determined no calls
were made from those numbers.
He ran a report Monday of all
calls before the shooting until 2
a.m. to see if any calls were missed
from other phone numbers.
The system tracks missed calls
because 911 operators are required
to call back those numbers to
determine if assistance is needed,
he said.
Our system shows every phone
number that comes in, and I
informed the police chief we had
zero unanswered calls within a half-
hour of this incident, Rosencrans
said.
DeAndrea could not be reached
for comment Monday.
Hazleton Mayor Joseph
Yannuzzi said police will check the
phone records of people who said
they had tried to call 911, includ-
ing one person who switched to a

WRIGHT TWP. Cyclists
rocked back and forth on their
bikes waiting anxiously for the
ceremony to end. Project plan-
ners cut the ribbon to the D&L
Trails Black Diamond Section on
Monday, ofcially opening the
new 10-mile trail to the applause
of local ofcials and excited hikers
and cyclists.
Jill Hoyt of Shavertown sat on
her bike with a few fellow rid-
ers, talking about how the group
tries to take plenty of bike excur-
sions during the summer, having
trekked the 28-mile Lehigh Gorge
Trail three times in past years. But
their inaugural ride on the Black
Diamond Trail was their rst this
year.
Were pretty excited, Hoyt
said.
Acting Secretary Ellen
Ferretti of the state Department
of Conservation and Natural
Resources (DCNR) said the trail
lls a need for the outdoorsy types.
We know what people want
most in recreation is opportuni-
ties close to home, Ferretti said.
Judy Rimple, former presi-
dent of Anthracite Scenic Trails
Association, or ASTA, the organi-
zation that owns the trail, said she
looked forward to getting past the
formalities and saddling up on her
bike.
The big event is to climb on my
bike and go downhill, Rimple said
about the days guided trip south
to Moosehead Lake. Its such a
pleasure, playing outdoors in safe
environments.
Funding for the project, which
began 12 years ago with the lands
purchase from the railroad, started
with a $1.15 million DCNR grant
to pay for excavation and trail
WILKES-BARRE

red two shots as they
ran away from the cab.
They then drove away in a
white vehicle.

Ruths Place Womens
Shelter and Volunteers
of America are merg-
ing to improve services
to women experiencing
homelessness in Luzerne
County.
Kristen Topolski, direc-
tor of Ruths Place, said
the move will be com-
pleted this month and will
give shelter staff the free-
dom to focus on services
while drawing on the
administrative expertise
of Volunteers of America.
The shelter has
expanded so rapidly that
we need an organization
with greater capacity to
handle it all, said Ruths
Place Board of Directors
President Peggy Rapp.
Volunteers of America
has a tried and true record
of helping those experi-
encing poverty, providing
housing and managing an
outstanding non-prot.
They are the perfect part-
ners to help Ruths Place
continue to grow.
Topolski said nothing
about Ruths Place will
change as a result of the
merger. The shelter will
retain the same staff, pro-
vide the same services
and stay in the same loca-
tion in the North End of
Wilkes-Barre.

WILKES-BARRE A
Nanticoke woman charged
with taking nearly $20,000
in students payments for
breakfasts and lunches
pleaded guilty Monday to
six related charges.
Jacqueline Ruchinski,
62, of East Church Street,
entered the plea to six felo-
ny counts of theft by failure
to make required disposi-
tion of funds.
Assistant District
Attorney Michelle Hardik
said Ruchinski faces a maxi-
mum of seven years in pris-
on on each charge. Luzerne
County Judge Michael
Vough said Ruchinski, who
is free on bail, will be sen-
tenced on Sept. 13.
Ruchinski is represent-
ed by attorney Edward
Bezdecki.
Ruchinski was in charge
of the Greater Nanticoke
Area Educational Centers
cafeteria account and col-
lected students breakfast
and lunch payments.
When Nancy Butzek,
business ofce secretary,
asked Ruchinski about a
missing $8 deposit slip for
a students account on April
18, Ruchinski said she will
need to nd it.
Butzek examined
Ruchinskis cafeteria report
and allegedly noticed
other missing deposit
slips. Butzek confronted
Ruchinski about the miss-
ing slips and Ruchinski
replied in a panic, I can x
it. Tell me when and how
much, the complaint says.
Ruchinski offered to use
her own money to correct
deposit shortages and was
told by Butzek she could
not do that. Butzek advised
Ruchinski if she did some-
thing wrong, she needed
to talk to the schools prin-
cipal.
After telling the principal
she allegedly stole money, a
meeting was arranged with
district Superintendent
Anthony Perrone.
Ruchinski allegedly told
school ofcials she pock-
eted $10 here or $20 there
from 2006 through 2012.
An audit by the state
Ofce of Auditor General
for those years allegedly
found a $19,427 shortage in
the cafeteria account at the
school districts Educational
Center for sixth and sev-
enth grades.
Ruchinski, a secretary
in the district for 20 years,
was suspended without
pay after the meeting with
Perrone.
Perrone could not be
reached for comment
Monday.

Survey shows 56 percent

A survey conducted by
Harrisburg-based Harper
Polling released Monday
shows a majority of state-
wide voters do not believe
Gov. Tom Corbett deserves
a second term in ofce.
The poll of 813 regis-
tered voters, conducted
July 1 and 2, showed 56
percent of respondents said
they thought someone else
should lead the state, while
24 percent said Corbett
deserves another four
years.
When looking at just the
Republicans that took part
in the poll, less than half
43 percent said Corbett
should get another term.
If Corbett is looking to
Independents for support,
it doesnt appear hell nd
much. Only 25 percent of
the Independents surveyed
said they believe Corbett
has earned another four
years.
Also, slightly more
Democrats than
Republicans said they
believe Pennsylvanias
economy is getting better.
The overriding negative
opinion about the direc-
tion of the state economy is
durable across partisanafl-
iation, said Harper Polling

pollster Brock McCleary.
Thirty-one percent of
Democrats said that was
the case, while 28 percent
of Republicans thought the
same. Twenty-one percent
of Independents shared
that view.
Forty-three percent of
both Republicans and
Democrats said they
believed the states econ-
omy was getting worse.
Forty-two percent of
Independents shared that
view.
The polls margin of
error is plus or minus 3.4
percent. A political party
breakdown of those sur-
veyed shows 45 percent of
respondents identied as
Democrats and 42 percent
are Republicans. Thirteen
percent were other parties
or Independent.
Other results of the poll
showed:
Sixty percent surveyed
said they support a plan to
require new state employ-
ees to participate in a 401k
retirement plan as opposed
to the current state employ-
ee pension system. Sixty-
six percent of Republicans
back the idea while 57
percent of Democrats do.
Fewer than half, 48 per-
cent, of Independents sup-
port the proposal.
Eighty-six percent
of respondents said it
was important that the
state budget be passed
by the June 30 deadline.
Only 6 percent said it
wasnt important while
8 percent were unsure.
Seventy-nine percent
of those surveyed said
it was important there
was no state tax increase
for a third straight year.
Sixteen percent said it
was not important while
5 percent are not sure.
On the non-political
question, Reeses Peanut

as the favorite Hershey-
made candy with 43 per-
cent of the vote. York
Peppermint Patties came
in a distant second with
17 percent of the vote and

DALLAS TWP. Richard Coslett
announced his resignation from the
Dallas School Board on Monday night
due to his upcoming re-deployment to
Afghanistan in support of Operation
Enduring Freedom.
During the next six months, my
time and energies must be focused on
my family and professional responsi-
bilities, Coslett, the boards president,
said, encouraging students to take the
educational foundation that has been pro-
vided to you and make a difference in this
incredible world.
The board also approved a Service
Academy Event sponsored by U.S.
Lou Barletta to be held at Dallas High
School on Aug. 20 from 10 a.m. to noon.
Representatives will be available to
answer questions and distribute informa-
tion to students interested in attending
a military academy and will assist them
with understanding the application pro-
cess.
I believe such educational entities pro-
vide a great opportunity for higher learn-
ing, board member Maureen Matiska
said.
Board member Fred Parry said he
looked forward to the event as a means
of informing and encouraging students.
In another matter, the board
appointed Diane Ruff to food manager.
Superintendent Frank Galicki said the
district was hoping to incorporate a
breakfast program under Ruffs direction.
The board also entered into a formal
agreement with its condential employ-
ees, clarifying duties and salaries of
those employees.
The next regular meeting of the board

WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Council at a special
meeting on Monday award-
ed a project for sewer
line replacement to A.R.
Popple Construction Inc.
of Wilkes-Barre, the low
bidder at $33,420.
The work includes
replacement of some
storm sewer drains and
dilapidated sewer lines
along Anderson Street
and in the Wilkeswood
Apartments complex. The
project is being funded
with federal Community
Development Block Grant
money distributed by the
Luzerne County Ofce of
Community Development,
township administrator
Michael Revitt said.
The bid was awarded by
unanimous vote and is con-
tingent upon conrmation
fromthe township engineer
that it meets all township
specications. The ve
unsuccessful bids ranged
from a low of $36,810
from RCH Services LLC
to a high of $98,636 from
Fehlinger Construction.
Revitt said this proj-
ect was split from a more
comprehensive project
because the township was
unsuccessful in obtaining
$1 million in gaming funds
from the Commonwealth
Financing Authority.
Revitt said the project for
which the bid was awarded
on Monday is not related to
the Bear Creek Commons
development project on
Bear Creek Boulevard off
Mundy Street the for-
mer site of Benco Dental.
In that project, Joseph
C. Posh, owner of
Bethlehem-based Posh
Properties, plans to bring
in national restaurants
chains and retail outlets,
beginning with LongHorn
Steakhouse, to the 10-acre
site near the Veterans
Affairs Medical Center
and close to the townships
sprawling retail district.
For the Bear Creek
Commons project to pro-
ceed, the township had to
enter into an agreement
with Hanover Township for
the use of its sewer lines,
which need upgrades.
Wilkes-Barre Township
Council in May agreed to
pay Hanover Township
$100,000 over ve years
towards the upgrades, as
well as $30,000 annually
for future maintenance.
Revitt said the only
thing holding up that proj-
ect was approval from
the state Department of
Environmental Protection,
and he received a letter
Monday informing him
that DEP gave its nal
approval.
We should be seeing
activity up there soon,
Revitt said.

WILKES-BARRE A
Luzerne County judge and
prosecutors said Monday a
plea-bargain agreement was
derailed by a letter sent from
the mother of a Plymouth man
facing a homicide charge in
connection with Septembers
shooting death of one man and
injuring of another.
The letter also led to two
attorneys for defendant
William Allabaugh withdraw-
ing from the case. The judge
then ruled the trial, scheduled
for next week, had to be post-
poned to December.
Mondays pre-trial hearing
for Allabaugh, 25, of East Main
Street, was supposed to be the
last before his trial next week
on charges he shot and killed
39-year-old Scott Luzetsky and
left Stephen Hollman, then
29, injured at Bonnies Bar in
Plymouth on Sept. 9.
Hollman has since been
released from the hos-
pital and is recovering
from injuries.
Its a shooting pros-
ecutors say they have on
video surveillance.
Allabaughs mother,
Catherine Arnold, sent a
letter to Judge Lesa Gelb
last week that was led
in the Luzerne County Clerk
of Courts Ofce asking that
her sons attorneys, William
Ruzzo and John Donovan, be
removed from the case.
Arnold alleged in her let-
ter that the attorneys have
not notied her or her son of
hearing dates and have not
obtained medical records. The
letter also stated a conict of
interest exists in the defense
Allabaugh wants to present,
among other complaints.
Gelb said Monday she
was disappointed
with Arnolds letter
because the case was
on schedule to go to
trial next week.
Assistant District
Attorney Jarrett
Ferentino said
Arnolds letter vio-
lates a court-imposed
gag order, and that the letter
has possibly tainted a poten-
tial pool of jurors after articles
appeared in local newspapers.
Ferentino said Ruzzo and
Donovan are two competent
and able lawyers, and that
when a homicide is on tape its
hard for any lawyer to defend
the case.
We have a murder on tape.
You can get 100 lawyers, but
thats not going to (change
what happened), Ferrentino
said.
Ruzzo said he and Donovan
have hired a forensic expert, a
neuropsychologist, a toxicolo-
gist and secured a number of
hospital records.
Ruzzo said he and Donovan
did advise Allabaugh it would
be in his best interest to
accept a guilty plea, and that
was their recommendation to
the defendant.
I believe weve done every-
thing we should have done,
Ruzzo said, noting that
Arnolds letter has created an
atmosphere that resulted in
Allabaugh having no con-
dence in his defense team, and
leading the attorneys to ask to
be taken off his case.
Gelb said she wanted to hear
from Allabaugh and held an in-
camera proceeding a private
meeting for defense attorneys,
a defendant and a judge that
lasted approximately 15 min-
utes.
After the closed hearing,
Gelb said she would allow
Ruzzo and Donovan to with-
draw from Allabaughs case
and will appoint attorneys
from the countys conict
counsel pool.
The pool consists of attor-
neys who are appointed to
represent indigent defen-
dants whenever the Public
Defenders Ofce has a con-
ict of interest in representing
them.
Gelb scheduled a new trial
for Dec. 9. Ferentino said the
prosecution half of the case
should last about ve days.

Alesson they cant Lego
Camp gives kids chance to build their own robot
Mark Guydish
mguydish@timesleader.com
NANTICOKE Edward Patrick of
White Haven is no Lego rookie. Hes
snapped plenty of the plastic bricks
together at home.
I have a whole shelf of Star Wars,
he boasted. Yet he conceded the
Lego robot he was trying to assemble
Monday was a different breed of toy.
This is hard.
Patrick, 9, was one of a dozen
children working in teams of three
on the rst day of a week-long Lego
Robotics camp for students in grades
four, ve and six.
It was the second of four such
camps Luzerne County Community
College is offering this summer.
The campers gather daily from 9
a.m. to noon to immerse themselves
in the nuances of gearing, computer
programming and the use of sensors
that detect touch, light and sound.
Its all available through the Lego
Mindstorms robotic kits, which stay
true to the tenet of the Danish toy
company that toys assemble, disas-
semble and reassemble, yet do so in
unfamiliar ways.
As Patrick noted, These are hard-
er than the actual Legos, referring to
the more widely recognized colorful
plastic bricks with protruding studs
on top that lend themselves best to
stacking upwards.
The robotics kits are heavy on what
Lego geeks call Technics pieces
that can click together at various
angles, coupled with a wide array of
gears and motors allowing the addi-
tion of different motions.
Two college students hired by
LCCC to teach the four weeks of
camps gave the students instructions
on the basics Monday, then let them
build a simple robot on wheels.
The complexity will progress, with
construction of race cars today that
know when to stop thanks to a sensor
detecting the nish line, and more
elaborate models culminating in bat-
tling robots Thursday, Stanley Chan
said.
Chan is a Penn State chemical engi-
neering student starting his sopho-
more year this fall. While he played
with Legos quite a bit when he was
younger, he conceded the robotics
were new to him and required some
quick study.
He said the younger students tend
to have problems from time to time
usually getting distracted by wheel
and gear possibilities but they
pick it up pretty quickly.
It certainly seemed to be a snap
pun intended for Ethan
Thomas.
He and two friends, all from
Baltimore, Md. who came up to stay
with Ethans grandmother while
attending the morning camp, had
their basic robot built so quickly
Chan started asking them to help
other teams.
But they conceded their expertise
is the conventional Legos, with Ethan
having a special afnity for the Start
Wars kits, so much so he had brought
a phalanx of Star Wars minigures,
the iconic little Lego men, and lined
them up with small, spring-loaded
pieces that launch little rubber darts
A defensive line protecting their
new robot, perhaps?

WILKES-BARRE A
Philadelphia man convicted of
charges relating to the May 2012
robbery of a Plymouth Township
strip club was sentenced Monday
to 10 to 20 years in state prison.
Kevin Williams, 31, was sen-
tenced by Luzerne County Judge
Michael Vough.
Williams was convicted of rob-
bery, trespassing,
theft, receiving
stolen property and
two counts of crimi-
nal conspiracy after
a jury trial in May.
P r o s e c u t o r s
say Williams and
his co-defendant,
William Gronosky,
entered the Carousel Lounge along
U.S. Route 11 in March 2012, point-
ed guns at the clubs owner and left
with cash and other items.
Gronosky is scheduled to stand
trial on related and charges stem-
ming from other incidents in
September.
According to court papers, on
March 15, 2012, Julius Greenberg,
owner of the Carousel Lounge,
told police he arrived at his busi-
ness and was in his ofce when two
men entered wearing dark-colored
hooded sweatshirts, ski masks and
gloves.
Greenberg told police both men
pointed handguns at him and
ordered him to the oor. One hit
him in the head with a gun while
the other pushed him down.
Police said the pair, later identi-
ed as Williams and Gronosky, 30,
of Nanticoke, took cash from safes
and a register and stole items from
Greenbergs pockets.
Greenberg said one of the men
told him not to get off the oor or
he would be shot. The men then
ed.
Courtney Sadusky, 24, is awaiting
trial on charges relating to the rob-
bery; she allegedly told police she
was with Gronosky and Williams
that day and they told her to drive
them to the Carousel Lounge.
Sadusky said the two men were
in the club for about 15 minutes
before Gronosky told her to drive
to her home in Bear Creek so they
could count money.
She later dropped them off at the
Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-
Barre Township.
Gronosky later allegedly told
Sadusky that guns, gloves and a
bag were left in her car and that she
should get rid of them, according to
court papers.
Sadusky then alerted police about
the items.
Williams was ordered to pay
$3,544 in restitution to Greenberg
and received 450 days credit for
time already served. Vough said
Williams attorney, Paul Galante,
will represent Williams in any
appeal.

IN BRIEF
SAN FRANCISCO
Vehicle may have
struck crash victim
One of two teenage girls killed in
an Asiana jet crash at San Francisco
International Airport might have
been struck by an emergency vehicle
responding to Saturdays crash that
also injured more than 180 people,
fire officials said Monday.
Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White
and Assistant Deputy Chief Dale
Carnes both raised the possibil-
ity at a news conference with first
responders.
There was a possibility one
of two fatalities might have been
contacted by one of our apparatus
at one point during the incident,
Carnes said.
San Mateo County Coroner
Robert Foucrault earlier said his
office was conducting an autopsy
to determine whether one of the
victims survived the crash but was
run over and killed by a responding
vehicle.
Remarkably, 305 of 307 passen-
gers and crew survived the crash
and more than a third didnt even
require hospitalization.
KABUL, AFghANIStAN
Translator for U.S.
military arrested
Afghan authorities have arrested
a man who served as a translator for
U.S. Special Forces and was wanted
on allegations he tortured and killed
civilians, the countrys intelligence
service said Monday.
Zakaria Kandahari was picked up
recently in the southern city of
Kandahar for various crimes, in
a special operation conducted by
the Afghan National Directorate for
Security, the intelligence agency
said in a statement.
It did not elaborate, but the
Defense Ministry has said
Kandahari was wanted on charges
of murder and torture in connec-
tion with the disappearances of nine
boys and men who turned up dead.
The U.S.-led coalition has denied
any involvement in the disappear-
ances, but the case has further
strained Washingtons relations with
President Hamid Karzai.

40 still missing in Canada oil train crash
Benjamin Shingler
The Associated Press
LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec The
death toll in the devastating oil train
derailment in Quebec reached 13
on Monday, while about 40 people
remained missing, ofcials said after
investigators nally got near where the
runaway train exploded.
Quebec provincial police Sgt. Benoit
Richard said Monday eight more bod-
ies had been found in the wreckage,
after conditions improved enough for
inspectors to get better access to the
charred site two days after the disaster.
Police would not say where the bodies
were located for fear of upsetting fami-
lies.
All but one of the trains 73 tanker
cars were carrying oil when they came
loose early Saturday, sped downhill
nearly seven miles into the town of
Lac-Megantic, near the Maine border,
and derailed, with at least ve of the
cars exploding.
The blasts destroyed about 30 build-
ings, including a public library and a
popular bar that was lled with revel-
ers. Five bodies were found over the
weekend.
Richard said inspectors could now
go where they needed. Ofcials had to
wait for reghters to dose the ames
and cool the oil tankers that could have
exploded.
Investigators had been able to get
closer to some of the hot spots, such
as the area near the destroyed Musi-
Cafe, with the help of reghters, he
said.
Its a zone that weve started to
work on and well work on it more in
the hours to come, he said.
The area remained part of a crimi-
nal investigation and all options were
being explored by investigators,
including the possibility that someone
intentionally tampered with the train,
Richard said.
Queen Elizabeth II earlier expressed
deep sadness over the disaster
Monday, saying in a message through
the federal government that the loss
of life has shocked us all. Canadian
Prime Minister Stephen Harper toured
the town Sunday and compared it to a
war zone.
The trains owners said they believed
brake failure was to blame. Somehow
those brakes were released, and thats
what is going to be investigated,
Joe McGonigle, Montreal, Maine &
Atlantic Railways vice president of
marketing, said Sunday.
Ofcials were also looking at a loco-
motive blaze on the same train a few
hours before the derailment.
Clashes in Egypt kill at least 54
Maggie Michael
and Sarah El Deeb
The Associated Press
CAIRO Egyptian soldiers and police
clashed with Islamists protesting the mili-
tarys ouster of the president in bloodshed
that left at least 51 protesters and three
members of the security forces dead, of-
cials and witnesses said, and plunged the
divided country deeper into crisis with
calls by the MuslimBrotherhoods political
party for all-out rebellion against the army.
The carnage outside the Republican
Guard building in Cairo where toppled
President Mohammed Morsi was rst held
last weekmarkedthesinglebiggest death
toll since massive protests forced Morsis
government from power and brought in an
interimcivilian administration.
Even before all the bodies were counted,
there were conicting accounts on how
the violence began. The pro-Morsi protest-
ers said the troops attacked their encamp-
ment without provocation just after they
had performed dawn prayers. The military
said it came under a heavy assault rst by
gunmen who killed an army ofcer and
two policemen, though its account of the
events left many questions unanswered.
Witnesses from outside the protest
camp said troops appeared to be moving
to clear the days-old sit-in and were ring
tear gas when gunre erupted. One said
she believed the re came from the pro-
testers side, though others could not tell.
Whatever the spark, clashes went on for
three hours, with protesters hurling stones
and molotov cocktails from rooftops and
gunshots ringing out. Nearby clinics run
by Brotherhood supporters were swamped
by wounded protesters, some with gaping,
bleeding wounds. More than 400 were
wounded in the mayhem, ofcials said.
The violence is almost certain to
draw sharper battle lines between
Morsis Muslim Brotherhood, who say
the military has carried out a coup
against democracy, and their oppo-
nents, who claim Morsi squandered his
2012 election victory and was wrecking
democracy by bolstering his and the
Brotherhoods grip on the state.
In a move that is likely to further
iname the situation, the Freedom and
Justice party, the Muslim Brotherhoods
political arm, called on Egyptians to rise
up against the army. Morsi has been a
longtime leader of the Brotherhood.
The party also called on the interna-
tional community to stop what it called
the massacres in Egypt and accused the
military of pushing Egypt toward civil
war, warning the country was in danger
of becoming a new Syria.
Egypts top Muslim cleric warned of
civil war and said he was going into
seclusion until the violence ends a rare
and dramatic show of protest directed at
both sides. He demanded a process imme-
diately be set up for reconciliation, includ-
ing the release of Brotherhood detainees.

MANTOLOKING, N.J.
Robert Post misses his phone
line.
Post, 85, has a pacemaker
that needs to be checked once a
month by phone. But the copper
wiring that once connected his
home to the rest of the world is
gone, and the phone company
refuses to restore it.
In October 2012, Superstorm
Sandy pushed the sea over Posts
neighborhood in Mantoloking,
N.J., leaving hundreds of homes
wrecked, and one oating in the
bay. The homes on this sandy spit
of land along the Jersey Shore are
being rebuilt, but Verizon doesnt
want to replace washed-away
lines and waterlogged under-
ground cables. Phone lines are
outdated, the company says.
Mantoloking is one of the rst
places in the country where the
traditional phone line is going
dead. For now, Verizon, the
countrys second-largest landline
phone company, is taking the
lead by replacing phone lines
with wireless alternatives. But
competitors including AT&T
have made it clear they want to
follow. Its the beginning of a
technological turning point, rep-
resenting the receding tide of
copper-wire landlines that have
been used since commercial ser-
vice began in 1877.
The number of U.S. phone lines
peaked at 186 million in 2000.
Since then, more than 100 million
copper lines have already been
disconnected, according to trade
group US Telecom. The lines have
been supplanted by cellphones
and Internet-based phone service
offered by way of cable television
and ber optic wiring. Just 1 in 4
U.S. households will have a cop-
per phone line at the end of this
year, according to estimates from
industry trade group US Telecom.
AT&T would like to turn off its
network of copper landlines by
the end of the decade.
For most people, the phone
lines demise will have little
impact. But there are pockets of
the country where copper lines
are still critical for residents. As
a result, state regulators and con-
sumer advocates are increasingly
concerned about how the transi-
tion will unfold.
The elderly and people in rural
areas, where cell coverage may be
poor or nonexistent, will be most
affected by disappearing phone
lines, Harlold Feld, senior vice
president of Public Knowledge,
a Washington-based group that
advocates for public access to the
Internet and other communica-
tions technologie, said. Are we
going to handle this transition
in a way that recognizes that
we have vulnerable populations
here?
Verizon says replacing the
lines just doesnt make economic
sense.

In a growing trend, Verizon decides

WASHINGTON The
Pentagons effort to account
for tens of thousands of
Americans missing in action
from foreign wars is so inept,
mismanaged and wasteful
that it risks descending from
dysfunction to total failure,
according to an internal study
suppressed by military of-
cials.
Largely beyond the public
spotlight, the decades-old
pursuit of bones and other
MIA evidence is sluggish,
often duplicative and subject-
ed to too little scientic rigor,
the report says.
The Associated Press
obtained a copy of the inter-
nal study after Freedom of
Information Act requests for
it by others were denied.
The report paints a pic-
ture of a Joint POW/MIA
Accounting Command, a
military-run group known as
JPAC and headed by a two-
star general, as woefully inept
and even corrupt. The com-
mand is digging up too few
clues on former battleelds,
relying on inaccurate databas-
es and engaging in expensive
boondoggles in Europe, the
study concludes.
In North Korea, the JPAC
was snookered into digging
up remains between 1996 and
2000 that the North Koreans
apparently had taken out of
storage and planted in former
American ghting positions,
the report said. Washington
paid the North Koreans hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars
to support these excava-
tions.
Some recovered bones had
been drilled or cut, suggest-
ing they had been used by
the North Koreans to make
a lab skeleton. Some of those
remains have since been iden-
tied, but their compromised
condition added time and
expense and cast doubt over
all of the evidence recovered
in North Korea, the study
said. This practice of salt-
ing recovery sites was con-
rmed to the AP by one U.S.
participant.
JPACs leaders authorized
the study of its inner work-
ings, but the then-command-
ing general, Army Maj. Gen.
Stephen Tom, disavowed it
and suppressed the ndings
when they were presented
by the researcher last year.
Now retired, Tom banned its
use for any purpose, saying
the probe went beyond its
intended scope. His deputy
concurred, calling it a raw,
uncensored draft containing
some contentious material.
The AP obtained two inter-
nal memos describing the
decision to bury the report.
The memos raised no factual
objections but said the com-
mand would not consider any
of the reports ndings or rec-
ommendations.
The failings cited by the
report reect one aspect of a
broader challenge to achiev-
ing a uniquely American
mission accounting for
the estimated 83,348 service
members still listed as miss-
ing from World War II, Korea
and Vietnam.

The angels carried the
soul of Peter W. Rizzo to
Heaven, Saturday, from
Wesley Village in Jenkins
Township. He will be sadly
missed by everyone who
knew and loved him. He
was a very loving husband,
brother, father, father-in-
law, grandfather and great-
grandfather who respected
life and went out of his way
to help others.
Pete was born on Dec.
30 1934, and was a resi-
dent of Avoca.
He was preceded in
death by his parents
William and Catherine.
Surviving are his sisters
Rose Davis, Genevieve
Petroski and her husband
Charles, Pauline Cobb
and Eleanor Sartorio; his
brother Joseph and wife
Jane; his daughters JoAnn
Yashinski and her husband,
Lenny; Cathy Brunetti and
her husband, Dino; and
his sons Billy Rizzo and
his wife Nancy; Pete Rizzo
and his wife Doreen; 10
grandchildren; and four
great-grandchildren.
Pete was a Sergeant
in the United States Air
Force during the Korean
War and spent time both
in the United States as well
as overseas earning multi-
ple honors and medals.
While in the service,
Pete married Josephine
Pepe on Jan. 12, 1955.
Later, he was employed
by Beltrami Enterprises,
and Pagnottis as a heavy
machinery operator.
Our family would like
to express our deepest
gratitude to the nurses
and staff of Wesley Village
for the love and kindness
they gave Pete while liv-
ing there. Also, we are
thankful for the Hospice

Not to begrudge Hazleton Area
School District its great good fortune
in getting an extra $1 million in state
money through an unusually-specic
supplement. The cash-strapped district
certainly can use the money. But then,
so can every other district in Luzerne
County and most in Pennsylvania.
Which would be the point. As report-
ed in The Times Leader last week, when
Gov. Tom Corbett signed the 2013-14
state budget the education portion had
a few quirks 12, to be exact, as in 12
supplements that had the veneer of
being available to many school districts
but turned out to be allotted to a select
few as in 21 of 500 districts.
That was a bit more than $30 mil-
lion handed out to a handful of schools
under titles like small school district
supplement, small rural school district
supplement, and third class county
school district supplement. That last
was the boon Hazleton received.
As the story noted, the title suggests
many districts could get some of the
money. There are 154 districts in the
states 12 third class counties (a designa-
tion determined by population). But to
qualify for a piece of the $1 million, a
district also had to have a state-calcu-
lated Aid Ratio that fell in a narrow
range, which winnowed the qualied
districts down to 24.
Still, that 24 included six Luzerne
County districts. But ve of them - as
well as 18 of those 24 that are in other
third class counties - did not meet the
last requirement based on enrollment.
Thus the title of the supplement
third class county school districts
sounds fairly expansive and egalitarian,
while the reality is that it seems quite
clearly tailored to assure the full $1 mil-
lion went to Hazleton Area.
That contradiction a supplement
title that sounds inclusive but benets
only a few was the rule, not the
exception in this budget gimmickry. All
of the money for six of the 12 supple-
ments went to single districts, with
many going to two districts and a few to
three to ve districts.
Thus it turned out that the rural
school district supplement of $500,000
was given entirely to Philipsburg-
Osceola Area School District in
Cleareld County. Really? No other rural
school district met the criteria to earn a
piece of that pie?
And the $500,000 small school dis-
trict supplement went entirely to Penns
Valley Area School District in Centre
County. If this were only about school
district size by enrollment (the require-
ment was fewer than 1,600 students),
that $500,000 would have been divvied
among 166 districts, 152 of which
(including Northwest Area in Luzerne
County) are smaller than Penns Valley
Area. But of course, as in the supple-
ment Hazleton Area nabbed, there were
other criteria that only Penns Valley
met.
This is no reection on the districts
that got these supplement boons. After
two years of Corbett cutting or at-lining
state education money, they probably
deserve every scrap they could sweep
up.
This is a reection on Corbett and
his legislature. They have bragged three
years in a row about passing a budget
on time, even though each year they
met the midnight, June 30, deadline by
hours, if not minutes.
But they have turned the education
budget into a bizarre cobbling of piece-
meal preferential treatment masquerad-
ing as broad-based supplements.
Public education is about giving all
children a chance to start adulthood on
an equal footing. This funding system
makes a sham of that promise.
OUR OPINION: SCHOOL FUNDING
When supplements
look like earmarks
MALLARD FILLMORE DOONESBURY
Fake arrow through head? Classic
party icon if youre partying in the
1970s heyday of Steve Martins early
career.
Sign offering line dance
lessons? Another party
icon from the 1980s or
later if were talking about
the Electric Slide, or the
90s if the reference is
Achy Breaky Heart.
Lampshade on the
head? Timeless party sym-
bol for anyone born after
Thomas Edison.
But Party Hardy Mr.
Spock? As the ctional
science ofcer from the
original Star Trek TV series would say
Fascinating.
I didnt understand when I saw it in an
editorial cartoon we ran June 4. I admit
thats a long lag time in writing about
it, but put that ve weeks in the context
of Spocks own existence. The character
was born in the 1964 unsuccessful rst
pilot episode and was seen in 1966 after
a second pilot episode convinced NBC to
air the series.
Spock has appeared in many permu-
tations over the decades, including a
Saturday morning cartoon Spock, but
to see his image in an editorial cartoon
about IRS party excesses? What was he
doing there?
I mean, I know the IRS also stupidly
made an expensive and bad Star Trek
video spoof, but this cartoon was not
about that, was it? And I know President
Barack Obama made the unforgivable
gaffe of combining Star Trek with Star
Wars when he mashed Obi Wan Kenobi
into Spock by referring to a Jedi mind
meld. The horror! The horror! (Hey, if
were mixing cultural references, why not
add a bit of Heart of Darkness or
for those who get all their touchstones
from movies, Apocalypse Now).
Presumably the cartoon was intended
to more broadly belittle IRS excesses,
including the agencys inane Trek spoof.
Even so, wouldnt it have made more
sense to go with Gilligan? The IRS made
a spoof of Gilligans Island as well. Surely
the bumbling, accident-prone rst mate
of the S.S. Minnow better embodies IRS
ineptitude than the smart and orderly
science ofcer of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Okay, I admit it, this is probably more
about my childhood admiration of Spock.
I was 9 years old when he became the
most recognizable alien on TV. Trying
to nd my own identity in a family with
nine kids, Spock somehow appealed.
So free of emotional turmoil well,
except for the struggles with his human
half, but that just made him more relat-
able. So keen-edged and piercingly ana-
lytic, getting to the scientic nub of any
issue faster than a Duotronic computer.
His Vulcan neck pinch could effortlessly
leave you unconscious, and he melded
minds with carbon-based humans and
silicon-based Hortas alike.
Best of all he introduced me to the
concept of logic, the realm of reasoning
that favors facts when making decisions.
As opposed to, say, basing decisions on
rigid ideology or political expediency.
Which means the IRS, as well as the
politicians blasting or supporting the
agency, shouldnt be spoong Mr. Spock
or critiquing bad impersonations.
They should be learning from him.

GUYDISH COLUMN
Most Americans, including a major-
ity of Republicans, support immigra-
tion reform. But tea party conservatives
oppose what they call amnesty and
everyone else calls a path to citizenship.
They are determined to prevent it.
Now its up to Republicans in the
House of Representatives especially
Speaker John Boehner to show a
nation grown cynical about politics that
elected leaders can do whats best for
the country even when it means risking
defeat at the polls. They have to stand up
to the tea party and enact comprehensive
reform.
Reform is crucial for economic rea-
sons as much as humanitarian. It will
allow the most talented foreign college
students to remain in the United States
often Silicon Valley to start careers
and build businesses. It will enable farm-
ers to nd the low-wage workers they
need to keep crops from rotting on the
vine. It will help secure the border. And it
will mean that 11 million undocumented
immigrants now woven into the fabric of
our society can nally participate freely
in American life including paying
income and Social Security taxes.
The Senate last month passed a bipar-
tisan bill, but the rhetoric of House
Republicans makes it hard to imagine
they will follow. Because of gerryman-
dering, the minority-viewtea party holds
inordinate power in many of its districts.
That could mean the GOP majority
passes a bill that, if enacted, would make
matters worse authorizing legaliza-
tion but not citizenship, for example, to
institutionalize second-class status.
This is nuts. The Senate bill is no liber-
al fantasy; its supported by the Chamber
of Commerce and Republican-aligned
groups run by the likes of Karl Rove. It
would reduce the decit by an estimated
$700 billion over 20 years, boost gross
domestic product and strengthen Social
Security, according to the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Ofce.
Fourteen Republican senators voted
for the bill, despite tea party warnings,
at least in part because its in the GOPs
long-term interest.
But these Republicans also know
reform is in the best interest of the
nation, and that the alternatives a
growing undocumented underclass or
mass deportation are untenable. So
they risked right-wing opposition at
home to get it passed.
The nation also needs leaders who
compromise, as Senate Democrats did.
To win GOP votes, the bill includes $40
billion in wasteful security spending,
adding 19,000 border agents to double
the size of the force. Its bizarre for a
party that claims its chief concern is gov-
ernment spending, but it was the price of
GOP support, so Democrats swallowed
it.
Unlike senators, House Republicans
rarely compromise. But reform still is
possible, if Speaker Boehner shows
enlightened leadership. He can bring a
comprehensive reform measure the
Senate bill or an alternative up for a
House vote and get it passed with mostly
Democratic votes.
Tea party congressmen threaten to
oust Boehner as speaker if he does this.
But so what? Boehner knows reform is
needed. This is the time for him to put
the national interest and, inciden-
tally, the GOPs interest rst, even if
a majority of the House Republicans he
leads will not follow his example.

Lets push Congress
to repeal unfair taxes
Now is the time, more than ever,
for us, The People, to act and let our
congressmen hear our voices. The
IRSs recent incident is a catalyst that
we must use to remove unfair taxes
imposed on us.
In fact, we should remove the IRS
from the tax picture as it is only used
for political and social control. Tell
Congress to remove federal income
taxes including personal, estate, gift,
capital gains, alternative minimum,
Social Security, Medicare, self-employ-
ment, and corporate taxes by supporting
FairTax bills H.R. 25 and S122. FairTax
is the only proposal in the Ways and
Means Committee that repeals the 16th
Amendment and removes the IRS.
Please contact your Representatives
telling them you want FairTax. For more
information, and to check this informa-
tion out, go to http://www.fairtax.org,
or search for FairTax in your favorite
search engine.

phone might have been the problem.
We will give the benet of doubt
and investigate further. Depending on
the results, we will ask for a meeting
with the county, Yannuzzi said.
Yannuzzi said he does not fault
the police chief for publicly raising
the issue because people at the scene
had insisted they were unable to get
through to 911
They were irritated, and I dont
think they had any reason to lie, he
said.
The mayor said he wants to work
with county ofcials to document
and rectify concerns. Returning to in-
house dispatching is not an option for
the cash-strapped city, he said.
Change made in 2011
Yannuzzi said he initiated the citys
October 2011 switch from in-house
dispatching to county 911 to free up
desk ofcers to respond to more calls.
Hazleton was the last hold-out of the
76 municipalities in joining the county
system.
Rosencrans said he spoke to
DeAndrea after the shooting and
asked him to review the call records
before publicly drawing conclusions.
DeAndreas critical post-shooting
statements were Rosencrans rst
notication the chief had concerns
about the service supplied by 911, he
said.
Imaccessible. He has my cellphone
number. Im available for a meeting
anytime, Rosencrans said.
He said he has nothing to hide and
would be the rst one seeking cor-
rective action if the county was at fault.
If we did have an instances where
callers couldnt get through for 25 min-
utes, Id have a serious problem with
that, Rosencrans said.
The county had 10 dispatchers on
staff during the third shift the morn-
ing of the shooting. Records showthey
processed 97 calls between midnight
and 3:15 a.m., he said.
Thats not extremely busy over a
three-hour period, Rosencrans said.
OT used to cover shifs
Rosencrans acknowledged the 911
center is short-staffed but said the cen-
ter does not operate below minimum
stafng levels of 12 dispatchers on the
rst and second shifts and 10 on the
third shift even if it means employ-
ees are mandated to work for overtime
pay.
The centers budget allows 58 dis-
patchers, he said. The center is down
to 52, though another employee sub-
mitted a resignation Monday. Several
employees also are out on leave.
Most of the dispatchers who
resigned left for higher-paying jobs
with the state police, Rosencrans said.
County 911 dispatchers technically
called telecommunicators start at
$25,500. The union contract govern-
ing 911 dispatchers expires the end of
this year.
Rosencrans expects to hire six new
dispatchers by July 22 and said he
will continue lling open positions as
needed.
Were holding our own. Were a
24-7 operation and have a critical ser-
vice we have to provide, he said.
The unnamed 29-year-old shooting
victim was transported to a hospi-
tal and was recovering from surgery,
though his condition was not available
Monday. Police identied Hazleton
resident Juan Carlos Paulino, 26, as
the alleged shooter.

illegal possession of a

and the community to
know that our program
will be exactly the same,
and we will need every-
ones support to keep this
going, Topolski said.
Topolski said the fund-
ing Ruths Place has will
remain designated to the
shelter. She said continued
support is critical.
This is the responsible
thing to do, Topolski said.
By afliating with VOA,
we will have more secu-
rity/stability for the shelter
itself.
Topolski said times
were getting difcult
because of the demand for
funding, but she said Ruths
Place was not in danger of
closing.
But something needed
to be done, she said.
Topolski said Ruths
Place cared for 292 women
in 2012, and that number
will be surpassed in 2013.
Consistently since the
beginning of the year we
have been at capacity (21
women) every night, she
said.
Topolski said the annual
walk-a-thon is set for Nov.
3 on Public Square. There
is no entry fee, but spon-
sorships are critical to the
shelters nancial situation,
she said.
Alan Garner, CEO of
VOA of Pennsylvania in
Harrisburg, said the orga-
nization was honored to
have been asked to merge
with Ruths Place.
The depth and array of
services provided by the
shelter impressed us deep-
ly, as well as its success in
placing women into per-
manent housing, Garner
said.
He noted 96 percent of
women at the shelter move
on to nd safe housing.
As part of the merger,
Ruths Place will become
a program of VOA, along
with other projects such
as Manna House, Dial-a-
Driver, Hartman Home and
the Thrift Store on South
Main Street. The board of
directors of Ruths Place
will stay together as an
advisory group to continue
fundraising and to give
input on the shelters pro-
grams and nances.
Ruths Place has always
relied on the generosity of
individuals and businesses
who believe in treating
women with dignity and
respect, said Ruths Place
Vice President Bill Bolan.
We might be merging with
a larger organization, but
this doesnt mean theres
suddenly extra funds avail-
able. The generosity of the
community is essential to
keep our doors open.
Bolan explained that vol-
unteers will continue to be
a vital part of the shelter,
and that gifts of goods and
money will still be accepted
directly by the shelter.
Ruths Place has served
1,513 women since its
inception in 2003, repre-
senting some 31,739 nights
of lodging, Topolski said.
Begun as an overnight
winter shelter at the First
United Methodist Church,
Ruths Place eventually
expanded to become a year-
round operation in 2007.
The original staff was made
up completely of volun-
teers and was run by Julie
Benjamin and her husband,
the Rev. Keith Benjamin.
After the closing of the
First United Methodist
Church in 2008, the shel-
ter moved to the Salvation
Army and then the First
Baptist Church before nd-
ing a permanent home in
the North End in 2009.
Ruths Place is now
operating 24-hours a day
and provides intensive
case management to help
women nd permanent
housing, jobs, nancial
assistance, and counseling.
Its success led the Ruths
Place board of directors to
seek an organization with
greater scal and adminis-
trative capacity.

hospitalized with viral car-

A news release from the

said no other details about
Travis condition were avail-

Viral cardiomyopathy is a

Brits awake to newtennis era
Chris Lehourites
AP Sports Writer
LONDON Britain awoke
to a new era on Monday, into a
world in which the tennis-lov-
ing public nally has its own
Wimbledon champion once
again.
After 77 years, the wait
is over, headlined the Daily
Telegraph, a day after Andy
Murray beat Novak Djokovic
in straight sets to win the
mens title at the All England
Club.
With the victory, Murray
became the rst British man
to win the Wimbledon title
since Fred Perry in 1936, a vic-
tory that has already sparked
talk of a knighthood.
Arise Sir Andrew, knight
of the holy grail, The Times
of London wrote in its lead
story. Impossibly, dreamily,
unbelievably and yet somehow
almost easily, somehow almost
inevitably, Andy Murray won
the Mens Singles nal at
Wimbledon yesterday.
Murray beat Djokovic 6-4,
7-5, 6-4 on a warm day under
the sun at Centre Court, play-
ing his usual defensive style
almost perfectly against an
opponent who also plays often-
spectacular defensive tennis.
Prime Minister David
Cameron, who watched the
match from the Royal Box,
seemed to be on board with
Murray getting knighted and
joining the ranks of other
sporting greats such as Roger
Bannister, Nick Faldo and
Kelly Holmes.
I cant think of anyone who
deserves one more, Cameron
said.
Murray, however, quickly
downplayed the possibility.

BRASILIA, Brazil Police
in rural Brazil have detained
one man and were seeking
two others in the slaying of a
soccer referee who was killed,
dismembered and decapitated
by spectators after he stabbed
a player to death mid-match, a
police ofcial said Monday.
Ofcer Valter Costa, who
was heading the investiga-
tion into the June 30 slayings,
said police have detained Luis
Moraes Souza, 27, who is sus-
pected of pummeling the refer-
ee over the head and smashing
a bottle of cachaca sugarcane
rum onto his face. Souzas
brother, Francisco, is among
the two still being sought,
Costa said.
The slayings began after
the 20-year-old referee, Otavio
Jordao da Silva, expelled
player Josemir Santos Abreu,
31, from an amateur match in
the small town of Centro do
Meio, in the northern state
of Maranhao. Angered by the
expulsion, Abreu threw Silva
to the ground. As he rose, Silva
pulled a knife and stabbed
Abreu in the chest, Costa said,
and the player died on the way
to the hospital.
Players and spectators then
rushed Silva, tying him up by
his arms and legs while Souza
hit him over the head with
a spike and then broke the
bottle on his face. One of the
suspects being sought, a man
nicknamed Pirolo, then took
the knife that had been used
to stab Abreu and stabbed the
referee in the neck, said Costa.
It was not immediately clear
why Silva had been carrying
the knife in the rst place.
Souzas brother Francisco
then used a sickle to cutting
off Silvas arms, legs and head,
which he placed on a spike in
the middle of the eld, Costa
said. He added that Francisco
may have been on drugs at the
time.
Costa said violence was
unusual in Centro de Meio, a
remote rural community with
little crime. He said those
involved in the slayings were
all from neighboring towns.
While violent clashes
between rival fans is common
in Brazil, the brutality of the
killings in Centro de Meio sent
shockwaves through Brazil,
which last month played host
to the Confederations Cup
and is gearing up to host next

Tony Stewart climbs in his car for the NASCAR Sprint Cup auto race at
Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. Stewart used a con-
servative approach to Saturday nights race at Daytona helped him gain six
spots in the Sprint Cup standings.
Jenna Fryer
APAuto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Tony Stewart coasted for at
least 250 miles at Daytona
International Speedway,
where he hardly worked up a
sweat until the nal hour of
the race.
Its a game he hates to play,
dropping to the back of the
pack at restrictor-plate races
to casually circle the track lap
after lap. The strategy of wait-
ing until the end of the race to
make a frantic, nal push goes
against his fundamentals of
racing.
But he couldnt deny the
results Saturday night when
he found himself in position
to challenge Jimmie Johnson
for the win. Although he ulti-
mately settled for second, the
nish pushed him a whopping
six places to 10th in points in
the Sprint Cup standings.
This is a 195 mph chess
match, and the lap that pays
is lap 160, Stewart said. A
lot is said about guys that lag
back like that, but were in the
most competitive series in the
country, and when youre run-
ning in the most competitive
series in the country you have
to do what you think is in the
best interest of you, your car,
your team and your situation
to get to the end.
Part of winning races is
knowing to be where at what
times. I know some people
dont like that and some peo-
ple dont agree with it, but
thats what I think is the best
thing to do in the interest of
our race team and to ensure
at the end of the day when its
time to go we have a car thats
capable of doing so.
Stewart has used that strat-
egy for years at Daytona and
Talladega, the two tracks that
NASCAR requires the use of
horsepower-sapping restric-
tor plates. The plates con-
trol speeds and keep the cars
bunched, raising the likeli-
hood of a multicar crash when
a driver makes a mistake.
Now more and more drivers
are simply riding around for
the three quarters, choosing
to wait until the end to turn it
up a notch.
It was frustrating to fourth-
place nisher Clint Bowyer,
who had voiced his boredom
with Daytona several times
over the weekend.
I made a rule with myself
at these restrictor-plate tracks
to be easy. You know, ride
around, Bowyer said. Its
boring. You want to be up
there racing for every lap led.
If you get wiped out it doesnt
matter who caused it or whose
fault it was. If you get wiped
out before halfway in one of
these restrictor-plate races its
your own fault. You knew bet-
ter than to put yourself in that
situation.
The nal results Saturday
showed that riding in the back
is the best strategy for making
it to the nish line.

VIERA, Fla. Alex Rodriguez stands
inside the batters box, taking one swing
after another. Every ick of the wrist at bat-
ting practice is a small step toward gaining
more comfort and condence.
Gates have not opened to fans yet at
Space Coast Stadium.
The few who are in attendance team-
mates, eld workers and a lone photographer
stop what they are doing to intently watch
Rodriguez , who is rehabilitating his surgical-
ly repaired left hip. Luis Sojo, the manager of
the Class A Advanced Tampa Yankees, sees
a vast difference in Rodriguezs demeanor
from his minor league rehab stint last year.
Hes not that far away, to be honest with
you, Sojo said. He played for me last year
and his body was breaking down. He looks
great now. He looks happy.
Rodriguez went 0-for-3 on Sunday after-
noon as a designated hitter in a 2-1 win
against the Brevard County Manatees. It
was his fourth minor league rehab game, his
second with Tampa after playing for Class
A Charleston on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Its going to be slower. Theres no frustra-
tion here, Rodriguez said. We want to get
back to New York as soon as possible, but
there is a process. You have to be realistic.

He played at third base on
Saturday, going 1-for-2 with
a run scored while also get-
ting hit by a pitch near his left
hip, leaving a bruise the size
of a grapefruit on his iliotibi-
al band located on the upper
thigh.
Thats pretty impressive,
Rodriguez said while show-
ing off the bruise to reporters.
I told you, the IT band is no
joke.
Sundays game was not as
productive.
Rodriguez, 37, had to duck
and jump backward to avoid
being plunked in the head by
a breaking pitch during at his
rst at-bat, before lining out.
My reactions arent very
quick, it has been nine
months, Rodriguez said.
He went down 0-2 in his
second at bat and hit a pop
y into foul territory by rst
base.
Dozens of fans crowded
around the on-deck circle
prior to Rodriguezs final at
bat in the sixth inning, point-
ing their cameras and smart
phones at the 14-time All-
Star.
Rodriguez, who was greet-
ed with a mixture of cheers
and boos, left the game after
his three trips to the plate,
as planned, and signed auto-
graphs for fans for the sec-
ond day in a row. Announced
attendance was 1,500, a day
after attendance was 3,148.
Spectators are not the only
ones who have soaked in the
A-Rod experience.
Tampa third baseman Peter
OBrien, who grew up idol-
izing Rodriguez, was some-
what abbergasted when the
18-year veteran joined the
team.
He goes about his business
and is such a pro, OBrien
said. When hes out there
taking BP, and throwing, tak-
ing ground balls, everything
is just so easy and smooth. He
makes it look so natural.
So far, Rodriguez has
embraced the younger Tampa
players. He bought food from
Carrabbas for them after
Saturdays game and Sojo said
that Rodriguez will eventually
hold a formal session answer-
ing questions from the play-
ers, sharing his experience in
Major League Baseball.
Rodriguez will be off on
Monday and will return to
Tampas lineup on Tuesday
against the visiting Dunedin
Blue Jays. He will likely play
third base, but he is constantly
reevaluating where he is in his
rehab.
Sojo said Rodriguezs return
should eventually be a boost
for the New York Yankees.
You could see last year
while he was taking ground
balls, he was just shaking his
head, Sojo said. He wasnt
there. But he said hes feel-
ing strong, theres no issues.
Thats good to hear, because
down the road theyre going
to need that guy. I dont care
what people say.

attempt at second base and
tagged out a runner on a close
elders choice call at second
base on a throw from catcher
J.R. Murphy in which he had
to fall to his knees.
It didnt take any time for
Jeter to get action in the eld.
The rst batter of the game hit
a slow chopper out to short.
The Yankee captain mildly
charged the ball and threw in
time to get the out.
That was good right, that I
was moving all over the place.
But I really didnt do much.
You can write that I did a lot,
but it really wasnt much,
said Jeter, who also nished
the game 1-for-2 while reach-
ing on an error, walking and
scoring a run.
Jeter said he will not be
with the RailRiders for this
afternoons 12:05 game
against Rochester. But he is
expected to play shortstop
for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
on Wednesday night, Unless
something changes.
Once again, the RailRiders
fell behind in the game. It was
the fourth straight game SWB
got behind early. And again
it didnt matter. On Monday,
they were down two runs and
didnt get the lead until the
fth.
Thats when the team put up
a four-spot against Rochester
all-star starter Andrew Albers
to take control as three of the
four runs scored with two
outs. After Murphy scored on
a second-out groundout, Dan
Johnson laced a run-scoring
single. RailRiders all-star out-
elder Thomas Neal (2-for-3)
then doubled, and both run-
ners scored on a bloop single
by Josh Bell to put SWB
ahead 5-3. In the seventh, Bell
clubbed his fth home run of
the season to extend the lead
to 6-3.
Im just happy to be a part
of the hits tonight (because)
Ive been struggling lately,
Bell said. But its been fun
watching these guys tear it up
lately. Its good to get some
hits behind them and help
out.
The Red Wings took an
early 1-0 lead in the top of the
rst on a booming solo home
run by Chris Herrmann to
right eld off RailRiders all-
star pitcher Chris Bootcheck.
They scored again in the top
of the third with all-star rst
baseman Chris Colabello lac-
ing a two-out hit to keep the
inning alive, setting up a run-
scoring hit to put the Red
Wings in front 2-0.
Even though Bootcheck
picked up his eighth win of
the season, he only lasted
ve innings to tie his second
shortest start of the season.
He gave up three runs on nine
hits. Bootcheck (8-2) fanned
ve and didnt walk any.
I think you look at tonight
and things couldve been a lot
worse, said Bootcheck, who is
a three-time I.L. all-star. This
is a much-improved Rochester
team and their starter, his
numbers speak for themselves.
He knows what hes doing out
there and when youre play-
ing catch up with a guy on the
mound like that you can get
your team in a tough spot. You
just try to keep your team in it
and give them an opportunity
to score and good things could
happen.
Jeter helped the RailRiders
get a run back in the bottom
of the third, leading off the
frame with a walk. A single by
Murphy moved Jeter to sec-
ond. He then scored on a sin-
gle by Randy Ruiz to trim the
lead to 2-1. A single run in the
top of the fourth for the Red
Wings padded the lead to 3-1.
The 39-year-old Jeter was
also tested in his rst at-bat,
hitting a chopper to short.
He hustled down the line and
forced Rochester shortstop
Doug Bernier to hurry the
throw, which was in the dirt
as Jeter reached on an error.
On a single to right by the
next batter J.R. Murphy, Jeter
sprinted to third and slid in
safely. It was the second time
in as many games that Jeter
ran from rst to third.

NEW YORK Chris Davis rst-half
power surge made him one popular All-
Star.
Baltimores rst baseman with the cool
nickname Crush slugged his way past
Detroits Triple Crown winner Miguel
Cabrera in the nal week to claim the
most fan votes in All-Star game balloting.
Washington outelder Bryce Harper used
a nal push to win a spot in the National
Leagues starting lineup.
Right-hander Max Scherzer was one of
a major league-best six Tigers chosen for
the All-Star game July 16 at Citi Field in
New York. St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina
led the NL fan vote announced Saturday
night. He is one of the Cardinals ve All-
Stars, tops in the NL.
I think any time you are getting that
recognition, not only from your fan base
but from everybody across the nation, I
think it feels good to know that people are
watching, said Davis, one of 30 rst-time
All-Stars.
Mets young ace Matt Harvey and third
baseman David Wright will represent
the host team in the 84th All-Star game.
Harvey, a rst timer, received the most
votes among NL pitchers in the player
balloting, outpacing the Dodgers Clayton
Kershaw.
Baseballs latest phenom, Cuban defec-
tor Yasiel Puig, didnt make the NL team
at least not yet. The Dodgers outeld-
er with just one breathless month in the
big leagues is among ve candidates for
the nal NL spot, with fans able to vote
online through Thursday.
Davis nished with 8,272,243 fan votes
to edge Cabrera, who had 8,013,874.
Davis has 85 RBIs, matching his career
high and only three fewer than Cabrera.
But he has hit 33 homers, seventh best
before the break in big league history
he has a week to catch Barry Bonds 39.
The 27-year-old Davis is one of three
Orioles selected by the fans, the rst time
that has happened since Cal Ripken Jr.
was one of the picks in 1997.
Shortstop J.J. Hardy and center elder
Adam Jones will take the eld with Davis.
Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado
was selected as a reserve.
In the only close race for a starting
role, the 20-year-old Harper trailed Justin
Upton by several thousand votes, but he
homered in his return from the disabled
list this week and moved into the lead.
Now Harper will become the youngest NL
starter ever.

Davis highlights Home Run Derby field
NEWYORK (AP) -- Baltimore Orioles slugger
Chris Davis, who leads the majors with 33
homers, will be one of eight participants in the
Home Run Derby next Monday night during All-
Star festivities at Citi Field.
Davis was chosen by American League captain
Robinson Cano of the NewYork Yankees. They
will be joined on the AL squad by Detroit Tigers
bopper Prince Fielder, who won the event
last year and in 2009, and a player yet to be
announced.
NewYork Mets star David Wright, the National
League captain, selected 20-year-old Washington
phenomBryce Harper along with Colorado
outfelders Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer.

over eight innings against his
former team, Ben Revere had
three hits and the Philadelphia
Phillies beat the Washington
Nationals 3-2 Monday night.

the team he played for his rst
six seasons in the majors.
Jonathan Papelbon allowed
two runs in a shaky ninth to
earn his 19th save in 23 tries.
Dan Haren (4-10) came off

OPEN EVERYDAY
Fromour wire services
ORLANDO, FLA. The
Philadelphia 76ers have hired Scott
ONeil as their new chief executive
ofcer. The former Madison Square
Garden president replaces Adam Aron,
who will remain team co-owner and
board member. Aron will also become
chairman and CEO of a new invest-
ment vehicle that is funded by the
Sixers ownership group.
We are going to try to live the values
of Philadelphia, said ONeil, who has
strong local ties. The city was built on
grit, hard work and toughness and pas-
sion. Its not going to always be easy,
and its not always going to go right, and
its not always going to go our way.
We are going to come in the next
day, and we are going to be tough. And
we will never be outworked.
ONeil is Villanova graduate and a
former vice president of sales with the
Eagles. Recently, ONeil was the presi-
dent of MSG sports, and he oversaw
the business operations for the Knicks,
Rangers and Liberty.
The Sixers said he will also serve as
an alternate governor of the NBA.
Knicks
NEW YORK The New York
Knicks signed rst-round draft pick
Tim Hardaway Jr. to a contract.
Hardaway Jr. was the 24th selec-
tion in the draft and played at the
University of Michigan where he
averaged 14.3 points, 4.1 rebounds
and 2.1 assists in 107 games and
helped lead the Wolverines to the
NCAA championship game last sea-
son. He is the son of ve-time NBA
All-Star Tim Hardaway Sr.
Wizards
WASHINGTON The Wash-
ington Wizards have signed No. 3
overall draft pick Otto Porter and
second-round selection Glen Rice
Jr.
Under the NBAs scale for rookie
salaries, Porter was expected to sign
a deal that could pay him up to $19.4
million over four seasons, with the
rst two seasons guaranteed.
He averaged 16.2 points and 7.5
rebounds and was the Big East player
of the year as a sophomore at last sea-
son Georgetown.
Rice was selected No. 35 overall
by the Phil-adelphia 76ers. He was
acquired by the Wizards in exchange

After 15 years in the NHL,
theres a part of Matt Cookes
game that hed like to lose: his
reputation for the rough stuff.
With ve suspensions levied
by the league and other acts
criticized over the course of
his career, the left wing still
has work to do with the image
makeover. But the Minnesota
Wilds view of Cooke when the
market opened was that he is
a reliable penalty killer, shot
blocker and third line scorer.
So Cooke signed a three-
year, $7.5 million contract
with Minnesota on Friday, the
last and most startling move
made by the Wild on a busy
rst day of free agency. They
also traded forward Devin
Setoguchi, let forwards Pierre-
Marc Bouchard and Matt
Cullen sign with other teams,
signed defenseman Keith
Ballard and re-signed defense-
man Jared Spurgeon.
Cooke has long been one
of the most-loathed oppos-
ing players among Wild fans,
dating to his aggressive per-
formance against them in the
2003 playoffs when he was
with Vancouver. Cooke also
found trouble for various
hits in recent seasons with
Pittsburgh.
Im sure theres a lot of fans
there who maybe arent fond of
me and they remember when
I played for Vancouver, but
hopefully I can change their
opinions rather quickly once
I get there, Cooke said on a
conference call with reporters
soon after his deal was done.
In 2011, Cooke received
what amounted to a 17-game
suspension for elbowing
Rangers defenseman Ryan
McDonagh in the head. Cooke
was banned for the remainder
of the regular season and the
rst round of the playoffs that
spring. Sobered by the punish-
ment, Cooke said he needed to
change the way he plays.
Ive watched him play for
many years. Theres no ques-
tion when he came in the
league he was an agitating
player, Wild general manager
Chuck Fletcher said, adding:
With the new rules in our
game, I think Matt has learned
to not take every hit. You see
him now passing up on some
hits. He angles a lot. Hes
always in good position defen-
sively and yet he still has that
physical presence.
Cooke will make $1.5 mil-
lion this season, $3 million
in 2014-15 and $3 million in
2015-16.
He has a plus-53 goal-dif-
ferential rating for his career.
He hasnt missed a game in
either of the last two seasons.
In 2011-12, his 38 points on 19
goals and 19 assists were the
second most of his career. And
his penalty minutes are way
down.
Rangers
NEW YORK The Rangers
have agreed to terms with
restricted free-agent defense-
man Ryan McDonagh on a six-
year, $28.2 million contract.
The new deal will carry an
annual salary-cap hit of $4.7
million for New York, which
is close to the nancial ceil-
ing with players still left to re-
sign, such as forwards Derek
Stepan and Carl Hagelin.
McDonagh had four goals
and 15 assists in 46 games last
season and ranked second on
the team with 78 blocked shots,
third in average ice time at
over 24 minutes per game, and
fourth with a plus-13 rating.
Islanders
UNIONDALE, N.Y. New
York Islanders goalie Kevin
Poulin has accepted the teams
one-year, two-way qualifying
offer.
The 23-year-old Poulin, who
would earn $1.3 million in
the deal, played in ve games
last season with the Islanders
after being recalled from
Bridgeport of the AHL on Feb.
23. He went 1-3 with a 3.02
goals-against average and .893
save percentage.

NEW YORK Rex
Ryan spent part of his sum-
mer vacation running from
angry bulls.
The New York Jets
coach joined thousands of
thrill-seekers on Sunday
and Monday in the annual
running of the bulls at
the San Fermin festival in
Pamplona, Spain.
The team conrmed
Monday Ryan was uninjured
while participating both days
in the run, which is the high-
light of a nine-day street fes-
tival and is televised nation-
ally. Ryan was there on two
mostly uneventful days as
there were no gorings, while
six people were treated for
injuries.
Ben Patton, a contestant
on NBCs matchmaker show
Ready for Love, tweeted
an Instagram photo of him-
self and some friends posing
with Ryan in Pamplona. A
slim-looking Ryan is wear-
ing white pants, a redT-shirt
with a picture of a bull in the
middle with the words
Bad Toro printed under-
neath and a red bandana
around his neck.
The race, which lasts
just over 2 minutes, takes
place early in the morning
as participants run with six
ghting bulls along a nar-
row course of about 900
yards. It ends when the
bulls have run from a hold-
ing pen to a city bull ring.
Ryan isnt the rst foot-
ball coach to race through
the streets of the northern
Spanish city. Philadelphia
Eagles coach Chip Kelly,
then the coach at Oregon,
participated in the event last
summer, along with wide
receivers coach Scott Frost
a former Jets safety.
Giants
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. New York Giants
star receiver Victor Cruz
has signed a ve-year con-
tract extension that runs
through the 2018 season.
Cruz was a restricted free
agent with three years in the
NFL. Last month, he signed
a one-year, $2.879 million
tender with the Giants, but
a long-termdeal was already
in the works. The Giants
could have matched any
offers Cruz received from
other teams so he didnt
get any. The new deal is
worth $43 million, accord-
ing to media reports.
Training camp opens July
26. Cruz skipped all of New
Yorks offseason program.
The 26-year-old from
Paterson, N.J., was an
undrafted free agent out
of Massachusetts in 2010,
but hes become one of the
most productive receivers
in the NFL. Over the last
two seasons, he has 168
receptions for 1,628 yards
and 19 touchdowns.
Redskins
WASHINGTON A
former NFL player is suing
the Washington Redskins
and former assistant coach
Gregg Williams, saying a
career-ending knee injury
is the result of a bounty
program where Redskins
coaches encouraged play-
ers to intentionally injure
opponents.
Barrett Green, a lineback-
er who played for the Detroit
Lions and the New York
Giants between 2000 and
2005, says a career-ending
knee injury during a game on
Dec. 5, 2004 was the result
of a bounty program and a
unusual, outrageous, and an
obvious cheap shot.
Prior to joining the
Redskins, Williams was the
defensivecoordinator for the
NewOrleans Saints and was
considered the mastermind
behind the bounty scandal
that led to unprecedented
sanctions from the NFL. He
was suspended for one year
by the league and is now a
senior defensive assistant
with the Tennessee Titans.
The lawsuit also names for-
mer Redskins player Robert
Royal, the tight end who hit
Green.

Shirley and Roy Erskine, grandparents of Andy Murray, pose with
the morning newspapers Monday at their home in Dunblane,
Scotland after their grandsons Wimbledon victory on Centre
Court on Sunday. Murray ended Britains 77-year wait for a
Wimbledon mens singles tennis champion with a 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 vic-
tory over Novak Djokovic.
Its a nice thing to have
or be offered, the 2013
Wimbledon champion
said. I think just because
everyones waited for
such a long time for this,
thats probably why it will
be suggested but I dont
know if it merits that.
Perhaps unsurprisingly,
the national papers all of
them featured Murray
on their front pages.
History in his hands,
headlined the Daily
Mirror. Across the top
of the Daily Express
were the words Magical
Murray.
The Guardian had the
simplest front page a
huge photo of Murray
kissing the trophy with
Champion written across
the bottom.
According to the BBC,
a peak of 17.3 million
people in Britain watched
the match on television.
Last years nal, in which
Murray lost to Roger
Federer, reached a peak
of 17 million.
Britain has been wait-
ing generations for a
mens champion (the last
womens champion was
Virginia Wade in 1977).
But the expectations have
been increasing almost
exponentially over the
last 15 years or so. Thats
when Tim Henman made
the rst of his four semi-
nals, sending the public
into a frenzy of hope from
1998 to 2002.
But each time, Henman
failed to reach the nal.
A few years later, along
came Murray, a kid from
Scotland with a game to
be reckoned with. With
his mother in his box and
his face often gripped
in growls and grimaces,
Murray became the next
big British hope.
He made the semi-
nals three years in a
row before reaching the
2012 nal, but then lost
to seven-time champion
Federer. A loss that may
have changed him for the
better, forever.
He followed that dis-
appointing defeat with
the Olympic gold medal,
beating Federer on the
same Wimbledon court,
on the same Wimbledon
grass, a few weeks later.
Then he beat Djokovic
in the U.S. Open nal, win-
ning his rst major title
and the rst Grand Slam
singles title for a British
man since Perry won the
U.S. championships in
1936, the same year he
won the third of his three
straight Wimbledon titles.
With last years wins and
losses behind him, Murray
didnt let his second
chance at his home Grand
Slam slip away this time.
In the end, inside a
giddy, sun-bleached and
adoring Centre Court, it
felt like it was all worth
the wait, The Guardian
wrote in its top story.

Slaying
From page 1B
Johnson, who had the
dominant car, led a race-
high 94 laps and felt
condent his speed was
enough to keep him out
front and ahead of trou-
ble. But Stewart, Kevin
Harvick, Bowyer and
Michael Waltrip all made
it inside the top-ve by
laying back for at least
half the race. David Ragan
did the same thing to win
at Talladega in May.
But Stewart is correct
in sensing that many
fans dont like watching
drivers take it easy. They
gripe and grumble that
theres no point in watch-
ing a plate race until the
very end because thats
when it gets exciting.
So what does NASCAR
do about this predica-
ment? Series ofcials cant
force drivers to race hard,
and there doesnt seem to
be any real consequence
to laying back. Several
years ago when Denny
Hamlin was in the thick
of the championship race,
he lost a tandem partner
while racing at the back
and fell out of the draft.
In danger of going a lap
down and ruining his title
chances, fellow Toyota
driver Waltrip got out of
the gas and slid back to
rescue Hamlin.
And NASCAR cant
take the plates off unless
it gures a way to slow
the cars, which nobody
has been able to do at the
two biggest and fastest
tracks in the series.
But as Bowyer grumbled
about how much idle time
he spent at Daytona, where
drivers run just a few laps
of practice to tune their
cars, then turn one lap on
qualifying day, then sit
and wait for the race to
take it easy until the end,
it became apparent the
whole system is broken.
NASCAR will never
cut races from 500 or 400
miles to a 25-lap shoot-
out, but thats basically
what theyve become.
Everybody sat around
and waited three days to
watch the nal 25 laps of
Saturday nights race.
At minimum, NASCAR
should cut the plate
events, excluding the
Daytona 500, down to
two-day shows for the
Sprint Cup Series. No
team is using all its prac-
tice time, making it point-
less for everyone to be at
the track all those hours.
As for the race itself?
Who knows? Theres no
incentive to race early, and
theres not much NASCAR
can do to change that. For
now, we know what were
going to watch four times
a year. Well sit and watch
for some wrecks, then
wait for it to get crazy at
the end.
As he left the track with
a second-place points on
the same night teammates
Danica Patrick and Ryan
Newman both wrecked,
Stewart accepted plate
racing for what hes stuck
with right now.
With these things
being as crazy as they are,
if you can end up with a
top-two, youre pretty
happy when you leave
here, he said.

Appeals court hears BP challenge on spill claims
Kevin McGill
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS BP PLC is
suffering nancial harm because of
the way a court-appointed admin-
istrator is making payments from
a settlement of claims from the
2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,
an attorney for the oil giant said
Monday.
Ted Olson made the arguments in
a packed courtroom before a three-
judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals. A lower court
already refused to block payments
to businesses that claim the spill
cost them money.
At stake are billions of dollars
in settlement payments stemming
from the blowout of BPs Macondo
well in the Gulf of Mexico.
Samuel Issacharoff, an attorney
for Gulf Coast businesses and resi-
dents, argued the oil company was
aware of the settlement terms and
the administrators methods. He
questioned whether the appeals
court has authority to change that
agreement.
But Olson, who served as solicitor
general under President George W.
Bush, attacked the payout process.
Irreparable injustices are taking
place and money is being dispensed
to parties from whom it may not be
recoverable, he told the judges.
The panel opened Mondays
hearing by asking Olson whether
the court has jurisdiction in a case
involving a settlement already
approved by the parties in the case
and a U.S. District Court judge.
Judge James Dennis seemed
skeptical at times, asking at one
point, How can we go beyond the
four corners of the agreement?
BP has asserted that the judge
who approved the deal and a court-
appointed claims administrator
have misinterpreted the settlement,
allowing thousands of businesses
to secure hundreds of millions of
dollars in payments for inated and
ctitious losses.
Plaintiffs attorneys who bro-
kered the deal last year counter that
BP undervalued the settlement and
underestimated how many claim-
ants would qualify for payments
under the terms they negotiated.
BPs appeal doesnt apply to pay-
outs to individuals.
The April 2010 blowout of BPs
well off the Louisiana coast trig-
gered an explosion that killed 11
workers on the Deepwater Horizon
drilling rig and led to millions of
gallons of oil spilling into the Gulf.
Shortly after the disaster, BP agreed
to create a $20 billion compensation
fund that was administered at rst
by the Gulf Coast Claims Facility,
led by attorney Kenneth Feinberg.

After three years and $14 billion worth of work following the BP oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico, the petroleum giant and the Coast Guard say its time to end extraordinary
cleanup operations in Alabama, Florida and Mississippi.

the New York State attorney
general requested the sus-
pension.
The attorney generals
ofce is investigating the
early data access, and
Thomson Reuters said it is
cooperating with that review.
That twice-monthly sur-
vey is separate from the con-
sumer condence index pro-
duced by the private research
group the Conference Board.
Thomson Reuters pays
for exclusive access to the
University of Michigan
results, and some of its cli-
ents have been paying extra
to receive the data two sec-
onds before other clients
receive it at 9:55 a.m. This
allows high-speed computers
to make trades before others
gain access to the data.
Thomson Reuters then
sends out a news release
about the survey at 10 a.m.
Modern stock trading is
dominated by automated
computer systems that make
trades in fractions of a sec-
ond, and traders can prot
from receiving data even mil-
liseconds before its public
release. Consumer sentiment
regarding the economy is
watched closely because con-
sumers spending accounts
for about 70 percent of U.S.
economic activity.
The attorney generals
ofce said in a statement
the two-second edge that
Thomson Reuters gives to
some high-frequency traders
amounts to an unfair advan-
tage as those traders exe-
cute enormous volumes of
trades in the blink of an eye.
Thomson Reuters said sep-
arately it strongly believes
that news and information
companies can legally dis-
tribute non-governmental
data and exclusive news
through services provided to
fee-paying subscribers.

DETROIT Italian auto-
maker Fiat has exercised a
third option to buy a small
amount of Chrysler stock,
but the sale wont go through
until a U.S. court settles a
dispute over the price.
Fiat said Monday that
it offered $254.7 million
for another 3.3 percent of
Chryslers outstanding equi-
ty.
Fiat already owns 58.5
percent of Chrysler, with the
remaining 41.5 percent held
by a trust that pays medical
bills for retired United Auto
Workers union members.
The Italian company wants
to buy all of the trusts stock
and fully merge Chrysler and
Fiat.
The price on the options
will be settled by a judge in
Delaware Chancery Court,
and the ruling is likely to
set the price for the trusts
remaining Chrysler stake.
For several months, Fiat
has been trying to arrange
nancing to buy the trusts
stock. Fiat expects a court
ruling sometime this month.
I hope to close (the deal)
as soon as possible if they let
me do it, the Italian news
agency LaPresse quoted Fiat
and Chrysler CEO Sergio
Marchionne as saying at an
appearance Monday in Turin,
Italy, Fiats headquarters city.
Fiat now has exercised
options to buy 9.9 per-
cent more Chrysler stock.
The Italian automaker has
options to buy 3.3 percent
of Chrysler stock every six
months until it gets another
16.6 percent. Fiat offered
$139.7 million for the rst
3.3 percent option on July 3,
2012, but the trust fund says
the price should be $343 mil-
lion. Fiat raised its offer to
$198 million for the second
3.3 percent on Jan. 3 of this
year.
Morgan Stanley, in a July 5
note to investors, estimated
it would cost Fiat $2 bil-
lion to $5 billion to buy the
trusts entire stake.
The options are part of
the deal in which Fiat and
Marchionne were appointed
to manage Chrysler in 2009
by the U.S. government.
The government bailed out
the struggling Chrysler and
funded its trip through bank-
ruptcy restructuring.
Since then, Fiat has raised
its stake in the resurgent
Chrysler, and Marchionne is
merging the companies to
generate more cost savings
from joint research, manage-
ment and purchasing.
Once it gains control of
the whole company, Fiat is
considering a plan to hold
an initial public stock offer-
ing, which would raise much-
needed money for research
on new vehicles at both com-
panies, and could help Fiat
weather the economic down-
turn in Europe.
Fiat SpA shares are now
traded publicly on the
Milan stock exchange, while
Chrysler is technically a pri-
vate company with no public-
ly traded shares. Presumably,
Fiat shareholders would be
offered a stake in the new
company if they approve the
merger.
Merging the companies
would give Fiat access to
Chryslers cash. Currently,
Fiat shares in Chryslers prof-
its but cant use the Detroit
automakers funds for its own
operations. Fiat lost $108
million in the rst quarter,
while Chrysler made $166
million. Without Chrysler,
Fiat would have lost $1.41
billion last year. Chrysler
had $11.9 billion in cash as
of March 31.
Fiat exercises option on Chrysler stock, seeking full merger

Chewon
foods that
are good for
your teeth
Barbara Quinn
Monterey County Herald
According to the
Centers for Disease
Control, 1 of every 4
adults older than 65 has
no natural teeth. Which
makes it a drag to eat
corn- on-the- cob.
Why is nutrition
important for our teeth?
Because nutrients main-
tain strong teeth, and
strong teeth maintain
our ability to get nutri-
ents. Heres the latest on
this topic from a recent
position paper by the
Academy of Nutrition
and Dietetics:
Bacteria that live
in our mouth love
sugar. When they feed
on fermentable carbo-
hydrates, they produce
acids that destroy the
protective mineral coat-
ing of tooth enamel. And
they produce enzymes
that attack proteins in
the teeth. Result: weak,
decayed teeth. Yuck.
Heres the good news:
Some foods and food
ingredients actually can
protect our teeth from
decay.
Sugar-free chewing
gum. Chewing stimu-
lates saliva that bathes
teeth with antibacterial
agents that neutralize
bad acids in your mouth.
And the sweeteners used
in sugar-free candies and
mintssuch as xylitol
and mannitoldo not
feed mouth bacteria.
Fresh fruits and veg-
etables. Vitamin C in
these foods is used to
make collagena vital
protein for healthy gums
the better to support
your teeth. And chewing
these fibrous foods keep
gums healthy and pro-
duces protective saliva.
Protein foods such
as meat, eggs, cheese,
fish, beans and legumes
strengthen teeth and
gums. Proteins also arm
saliva with its antibacte-
rial properties.
Whole-grain, low-
sugar breads and cere-
als provide a host of
nutrients that enhance
our immune response to
fight off pesky bacteria.
So heres the for-
mula to grow up with
all your teeth like my
grandmother: Chew,
chew, chew your food to
stimulate saliva. Dont
let sugar hang out too
often with the bacteria
in your mouth. And yes
dear, you must brush
your teeth after you eat,
with a fluoride- contain-
ing toothpaste. If you
cant brush right away,
chew a piece of sugar-
free gum.

Instructor Macawley Brown
had two reasons for sing-
ing Twinkle, Twinkle Little
Star to the 4-year-olds in
her swim class at the Wilkes-
Barre YMCA last month.
First, it encouraged them
to stretch out their arms and
legs like a starfish as they
floated on their backs, one by
one, with her strong hands
supporting them under their
shoulders.
And second, a familiar tune
can be a calming influence
on children who might feel a
little nervous.
Some of them are scared.
Its only natural. My approach
is to try to make it not obvi-
ous that theyre swimming.
We might talk about favorite
ice cream flavors or a song,
said Brown, a Harding resi-
dent who swims competitive-
ly at Kings College
Brown doesnt remember
her own earliest swim les-
sons, except that she was
so very young her mom had
to hold her in the water.
Similar classes, for chil-
dren 6 to 24 months old, are
offered at the Wilkes-Barre
YMCA, where instructors
are eager to teach people
of every age, up to adults.
Everyone should knowhowto swim

When you hear someone is a
pharmacist, you might assume
that if you have aches and pains
or depression or insomnia, that
person wants to hand you a
bottle of pills.
But if you talk to Jay Gupta,
youll realize that assumption
is wrong.
I encourage you to consider
lifestyle changes rst, said
Gupta, who is on a holistic mis-
sion to help people get a good
nights sleep something he
says thousands of people are
missing.
Keep a food diary, he advis-
es, because something you eat
might be keeping you awake.
If you have a computer or
television set in your bedroom,
put it somewhere else.
Dont use electronic devices
such as cell phones before you
retire because they can be too
stimulating.
Consider the temperature of
your sleeping area. A tempera-
ture of 60 to 72 degrees F or 16
to 22 degrees C is considered
optimal for sleep.
Those are just a few of the
tips Gupta discusses on a two-
CD recording titled RxRelax
for Insomnia, and theyre
among the topics hell address
at two seminars on Saturday.
During a 10 a.m. session at the
Greater Pittston YMCA and a
2 p.m. session in the meeting
room of Boscovs restaurant
in Wilkes-Barre, hell share his
ideas and some stress-reliev-
ing, yoga-based exercises.
Gupta and his wife, Terry,
live in New England, where
theres nothing like a good nights sleep
Pedro Garcia, 5, of Kingston, holds onto a kickboard as he makes his way
through the water.
Hanging on the side of the pool at the YMCA are Pedro Garcia, 5; Adalyn Gutierrez, 4; Kiana Ghorieshi, 4; and Kadyn
Hotaling, 4. All are waiting to work with instructor Macawley Brown.
WATER SAFETYTIPS
Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.
Always swim with a buddy. Do not allow anyone to swim
alone, even at a public pool or lifeguarded beach.
Ensure that everyone in the family learns to swim well.
Enroll them in age-appropriate classes.
Never leave a child unattended near water, and do not
trust a childs life to another child.
Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear
U.S. Coat Guard-approved life jackets around water, but do
not rely on life jackets alone.
Do not allow anyone to play around drains and suction
ttings; do not allow swimmers to hyperventilate before
swimming under water or have breath-holding contests.
If a child is missing, check the water frst. Seconds count
in preventing death or disability.
Have appropriate equipment, such as reaching or throw-
ing equipment, a cell phone and frst-aid kit on hand.
If you go boating, wear a life jacket. Most boating fatali-
ties occur from drowning.

The Orange County Register
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK,
Calif. The weapons of choice
against the tiny mice that run around
here carrying a potentially fatal virus
include disinfectant, peanut butter
and 20 years worth of animal sci-
ence.
Last year 10 people became ill
with hantavirus, an outbreak con-
centrated among a cluster of canvas-
walled tent cabins in Curry Village,
a popular destination on the valley
floor. Three people died in what is
the largest rash of cases related to
the Sin Nombre strain of the virus,
which was discovered in 1993. The
other seven victims, including an
unidentified 42-year-old Orange
County, Calif., man, survived.
DNC Parks & Resorts of Yosemite,
which operates the lodgings and
other businesses in Yosemite
National Park, has gone to great
lengths to prevent another out-
break. Ninety-one Signature Tent
cabins, the relatively new structures
that turned out to be well-suited for
harboring infected mice, were torn
down earlier this year.
Park employees now take more
time to clean structures at least
15 minutes for the Curry Village tent
cabins and watch for mouse drop-
pings. Park authorities also have
redoubled efforts to educate visitors
about the importance of stowing
food so mice, as well as bears, deer
and other animals, cant get to it. All
over the park, there are fliers urging
guests to take precautions.
The preventive surge has brought
a comeback for one of the nations
greatest natural treasures: Visits
to the park dropped a bit early last
fall, as word of the outbreak spread
(thanks in part to a massive outreach
campaign by DNC). For the year, vis-
itors numbered 3.996 million, down
2.5 percent from 2011. But through
May of this year, 1.023 million peo-
ple entered the park, up 1.58 percent
compared with the same period in
2012. Eighty percent of park visitors
go to Yosemite Valley.
From hard-core climbers who pull
themselves up the sheer granite face
of El Capitan, to hikers who explore
the wilderness 750 miles of trails,
to families who walk in the valleys
meadows and wade in the gentle
Merced River, people are flocking
here again. And theyre undeterred
by last summers unprecedented out-
break.
The transparency of the National
Park Service reinforces my confi-
dence that theyre eradicating the
problem and keeping everyone safe,
said Kevin Kearn, 45, a retired Army
lieutenant colonel from Huntington
Beach. After he and his wife, Tammy,
hiked 45 miles in four days, they
relaxed at Curry Villages crowded
Pizza Deck, enjoying beers and slic-
es.
Its a Herculean task to preserve
the environment, maintain the park,
and still keep it accessible, he said.
No one, not even the biologists
who poured into the valley after the
first hantavirus cases were reported,
can explain exactly why so many
people developed infections in such
a short time. And despite the intense
preventive efforts, theres no guaran-
tee there wont be more cases.
When you have that many
humans, chances are theres going
to be a food source, said Danielle
Buttke, a veterinary epidemiologist
at the National Park Service in Fort
Collins, Colo.
The reservoir for the outbreak
was traced to the deer mouse,
which is common all over the West.
About 14 percent of the deer mice in
Yosemite have the Sin Nombre strain
of the hantavirus, which was first
recorded during a small outbreak in
the Four Corners area 20 years ago.
The virus doesnt spread to any
other animals, and the virus doesnt
exist in common house mice. But its
in the deer mouse feces, urine and
saliva, and if any of those substances
gets stirred up say, by sweeping
along a floor it can get aerosol-
ized. If enough of it is inhaled, infec-
tion can occur.
In 2009, the park built 91 Signature
Tents, which featured canvas on the
outside, then a layer of insulation,
then a layer of sheet rock. The goal
was to have a warmer-cabin option
in wintertime for guests who wanted
it. Mice were able to get into the
insulation and hide, and the virus
came from the walls.
That particular kind of struc-
ture, we hadnt anticipated a rodent
infestation would be there, but that
was the smoking gun in this case,
said Barbara Knust, an investigator
with the Centers for Disease Control
and Preventions infectious-disease
branch in Atlanta.
On Aug. 16, 2012, the California
Department of Public Health
announced two confirmed cases
of hantavirus. On Aug. 27, two
more cases were reported; by mid-
September, the cases had grown to
eight, and three deaths had been
confirmed. A total of 10 cases
nine of them in the Signature Tents
of Curry Village, another, milder
case in a High Sierra camp were
reported.
Hantavirus cant be spread from
one person to another, but one by
one the number of cases piled up.
The park established a call center
at its headquarters in the valley, and
more than 260,000 people who had
stayed overnight in the park between
June 1 and Aug. 28 were contacted,
sometimes just by calling people
who lived near the guests.
We were investigating, sleuth-
ing, trying to locate people just to
make sure everybody knew of the
exposure, said Tom Medema, chief
ranger for interpretation and educa-
tion at Yosemite.
On the advice of the CDC, National
Parks Service and state health offi-
cials, the Signature Tents were torn
down, and the old-style single-wall
tents were built in their place. They
have only the canvas outer shell,
then the frame of green 2-by-4s.
Now, there are fewer places for mice
to hide. As part of the exclusion
process, steps to the entrance were
elevated, and more nails were insert-
ed to cut down on the gaps on the
canvas. Any mouse droppings found
will be sprayed with disinfectant and
scooped up.
Guests are asked to store food in
metal bear boxes outside the tent
cabins, which are locked at night,
when bears and mice are more active.
The state health department traps
some mice and tests them for the
virus, and the park also traps mice
baited with peanut butter to
control the population.
DNC Parks & Resorts spokes-
woman Lisa Cesaro said in an email:
First and foremost, our thoughts go
out to those who have been affected
by hantavirus. Once we were noti-
fied, we worked hand in hand with
the National Park Service and public
health officials on addressing this
issue. As you know, the Signature
Tent Cabins have been removed from
Curry Village, and we have taken and
continue to take steps recommended
by the National Park Service, which
were developed in consultation with
the California Department of Public
Health and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Marsha Blount, a San Diego physi-
cian staying in Curry Village for the
first time with her husband and two
children, came prepared: When they
arrived at their tent cabin on a recent
visit, she immediately sprayed all
surfaces with Lysol. When I looked
into it, it seemed like they had done
the right things, and I was trying to
hedge our bets by cleaning every-
thing, she said.
A hike up the spectacular rock
staircase along the Mist Trail, lead-
ing to the top of Vernal Fall, shows
why visitors cant stay away from
Yosemite. Its like a Mardi Gras
parade, with hundreds of people
cramming the trail to catch a glimpse
of a rainbow arching near the thun-
dering falls. Another hiker was spot-
ted literally skipping up a hill.
Yet Yosemite still hasnt put the
outbreak in the past. A Chino Hills,
Calif., woman, Cathy Carrillo, 50,
has filed a multimillion- dollar law-
suit against Delaware North Cos.
She was among the survivors of
the outbreak and was hospitalized
for two weeks after getting infect-
ed last summer, her lawyer said.
Although the effects of hantavirus
arent supposed to be long-lasting,
shes had persistent fatigue and
weakness ever since, attorney
Mark Algorri said.
She had pneumonia, kidney
failure, acute respiratory failure.
It was pretty dastardly. She really
was on the brink of death there,
Algorri said.

Youre never too old to learn,
aquatics director Tammy Lalli said,
mentioning the benefits to older
individuals include maintaining flex-
ibility and range of motion as well as
having a way to exercise that doesnt
stress your joints.
But for everyone from tiny tots
to their great-grandparents, the big
advantage of becoming a competent
swimmer is youre much more likely
to be safe at lakes, oceanfronts and
pools of every size.
During your life, youre around
water more than you realize.
Its important to know what youre
doing, said Brown, whose goals
with the preschool/kindergarten
age group are to have them front-
paddling, back-swimming, going into
the deep water supported by (flota-
tion aids) and doing the sidestroke.
The most important thing is that
theyre comfortable in the water.
As moms and siblings watched from
the YMCAs balcony, they explained
they want their budding mermaids
and mermen to do just that to be
comfortable in the water, to stay safe
and have fun, knowing enough so
they wont panic if they find them-
selves in deep water.
We dont have a pool, but my
sister-in-law does. And her day- care
group might go to Frances Slocum
(state park, to swim), Janine
Gutierrez of Shavertown said as she
watched 4-year- old Adalyn practic-
ing.
I want her to be comfortable in
the water, Gutierrez said. Every
child should learn how to swim.

Siberian root might extend life, experts say
Ayan Kusari
Orange County Register
SANTA ANA, Calif.
A stubby little plant from
the icy permafrost of
Siberia just might help you
feel better and live longer,
University of California-
Irvine researchers say.
They found fruit ies fed
extracts of Rhodiola rosea,
or golden root, live 24
percent longer than their
otherwise healthy peers.
The research itself is a
sign of the times: Todays
physicians are becoming
more open to the idea of
using herbal remedies to
treat their patients, and
they need the science to
back it up.
Potentially, humans
healthy or not could
live longer by consuming
this root, said the studys
lead investigator, Mahtab
Jafari, of the department
of pharmaceutical
sciences at UCI. So far,
weve only seen the effect
in ies, worms and yeast.
But nothing quite like
this has been observed
before.
Drugs today are
typically designed to
treat deciencies or
illnesses to x things
once theyre broken.
Currently, the main
drug thats been shown
to extend life span,
Resveratrol, only really
works if youre diabetic or
overweight that is, if
youre unhealthy to begin
with. Resveratrol, found
in red wine, limits the
bodys access to calories
and fat. Its been shown
to extend the life span
of obese mice by about
30 percent. Researchers
think theyll nd similar
life-extending properties
in obese humans, but the
drug probably wont do
much for humans who are
already slim.
But people of all
weights and waistlines
could benet from the
extracts of Rhodiola
rosea, Jafaris ndings
suggest. Its always a
jump from animal model
to human, but we share
75 percent of our disease
genes with fruit ies,
Jafari said.
And if you look at the
molecular pathways we
study in ies, theyre also
highly conserved. You can
nd the same pathways
in nearly all living
things: ies, worms, rats,
humans. Its scientic
to think that if Rhodiola
works in ies, it may
also work on humans.
The researchers arent
sure how Rhodiola rosea
is keeping the ies alive,
but the answer probably
lies in the snowy barrens
of the Baikal Mountains.
Herbalists have used the
plants for hundreds of
years to treat the seasonal
depression thats rampant
there.
At some point, the
herb found its way across
the Altai Mountains into
Mongolia and northern
China, where its
commonly used in salads
or brewed into tea.
But Western doctors
only began to pay
attention in 2007, when
an Armenian clinical trial
showed 500 milligrams
of Rhodiola rosea extract
helped treat mild to
moderate depression.
Its also recently
gained recognition
among practitioners of
naturopathic or herbal
medicine in the United
States.
Dayna Kowata,
a naturopath and
acupuncturist at UCIs
Susan Samueli Center
for Integrative Medicine,
said she hadnt heard of it
until last year.
I was exposed to it at
a lecture for naturopaths
and got the chance to
try it afterward, Kowata
said. The effects on
me were immediate
and pronounced, so its
become a part of my tool
kit since then.
Modern medicine
owes a lot to plant
extracts. Plant-derived
medicines including
aspirin, digoxin and
codeine accounted
for more than a quarter
of all prescriptions lled
last year. Still, many
American doctors remain
leery of natural remedies.
Harriet A. Hall, a
retired physician and
regular columnist in
Skeptic magazine, wrote
that she doesnt like the
way herbal medicine is
marketed today.
In pharmacology,
we start with plants
and go on to test and
purify the components
found there, she wrote.
(However) there have
been many, many reports
of herbal remedies being
contaminated with heavy
metals, carcinogens,
insect parts, toxins,
pharmaceutical drugs and
other contaminants.
Kowata said she has
never faulted Western
doctors for dismissing
Eastern remedies. Its
the way theyve been
trained, she said.
They dont approach
the problem from
a holistic approach
by default. When
presented with anecdotal
evidence about herbal
remedies, practitioners
of mainstream
medicine often point to
psychological factors
such as the placebo effect.
Personal experience
and testimonials are
notoriously unreliable;
thats why we do science,
Hall wrote.
But UCI researchers
didnt use humans to
reach their conclusions.
I admit the placebo
effect is powerful but
on humans. Flies dont
lie! Jafari said.
Thats because the
placebo effect is based on
emotion and cognition,
and as far as scientists
know, fruit ies dont
have either.
I came into this work
as a skeptic like all of my
colleagues, Jafari said.
But Im a big believer
now. Our science just
isnt advanced enough to
understand all they do
and how they do it.
Dr. Mahtab Jafari, director of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of California, studies Rhodiola rosea, an herb that has been found to extend lifespan in a popula-
tion of fruit flies.

Eating disorders afect teenage boys, too
Emily Alpert
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES
Bryan Piperno was just 9
years old when he began
keeping his secret.
The Simi Valley, Calif.,
youngster tossed out
lunches or claimed he ate
elsewhere. As he grew
older, he started purging
after eating. Even after
his vomiting landed him
in the emergency room
during college, he lied to
hide the truth.
Piperno, now 25, slowly
fended off his eating dis-
order with time and care,
including a stay in a resi-
dential treatment facility.
But surveys show a rising
number of teenage boys
now struggle with similar
problems.
High school boys in
Los Angeles are twice as
likely to induce vomiting
or use laxatives to con-
trol their weight as the
national average, with 5.2
percent of those surveyed
saying they had recently
done so, according to the
most recent survey data
gathered by the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention and the Los
Angeles Unified School
District. They also are
more likely to have used
diet pills, powders or
liquids than boys nation-
wide.
The numbers challenge
old assumptions that boys
are immune to a problem
better known to afflict
teenage girls. Girls still
exceed boys in fasting
to lose weight, but the
latest data, from 2011,
showed that Los Angeles
boys were nearly as likely
as girls to purge through
vomiting or laxatives.
They were also as likely
as girls to use diet pills,
powders or liquids with-
out the advice of a doctor
6.2 percent said they
recently used such sub-
stances, compared with
6.1 percent of girls.
Some experts say boys
are starting to face the
pressures long placed on
girls, as buff, bare men
proliferate in pop cul-
ture. Boys today watch
Channing Tatum strip
as Magic Mike or
weigh themselves against
the muscular Dwayne
Johnson. The nonstop
chatter of Twitter and
Facebook has amplified
those messages, thera-
pists say.
Boys are growing up
now with the billboard of
the guy with perfect pecs
and biceps, said Roberto
Olivardia, a clinical
instructor in the Harvard
Medical School psychia-
try department. You just
didnt see that years ago.
Teenage boys say abs are
prized and ogled. Andrew
Shrout, a 19-year-old
junior at the University
of California-Berkeley,
said boys felt they needed
to be very lean at his for-
mer high school in Long
Beach, Calif. Men are
pressured to have as lit-
tle fat as possible but
youve got to pretend like
you dont watch what you
eat, Shrout said.
He decided to lose
weight for his health but
also because another guy
on the water-polo team
used to grab his stomach
and jiggle it. I can see
why a lot of younger kids
get sucked into a vortex
and end up doing bad
things, Shrout said.
Steroid use is also
on the rise among Los
Angeles teen boys, the
survey found, with rough-
ly one out of 20 saying
they have used steroids
only a slightly smaller
percentage than those
who had recently turned
to diet pills, powders or
liquids.
Sports can pile on more
pressure. Wrestlers, for
instance, often aim to lose
enough weight to grapple
with lighter opponents.
For some competitors,
throwing up or downing
laxatives can be a gate-
way to a disorder that
lasts beyond the sport-
ing event, said Dawn
Theodore, clinical direc-
tor of the Eating Disorder
Center of California in
Brentwood.
Los Angeles isnt the
only city where boys have
been increasingly likely
to purge or turn to diet
substances, with higher-
than-average rates also
seen in Chicago, Houston,
Charlotte, N.C., and else-
where. Government esti-
mates show that the num-
ber of males hospitalized
for eating disorders rose
53 percent between 1999
and 2009. Some experts
say they are unsure
whether more boys and
men are in fact suffering
such disorders or whether
more are now willing to
seek help.
Females remain much
more likely to be hospital-
ized for eating disorders
than boys and men, who
made up 12 percent of
such hospital stays as of
four years ago, the gov-
ernment estimates show.
However, researchers say
that because men fear
coming forward, the rates
among males might be
higher than the numbers
suggest.
When they finally get
help, the boys cases tend
to be especially severe,
said clinical psycholo-
gist Jennifer Henretty,
who directs intensive
outpatient programs at
the Center for Discovery,
a national system of eat-
ing disorder programs.
People dont look until
its really out of hand.
Experts say part of the
problem is that traditional
methods of detecting dis-
orders were made with
girls and women in mind.
Benjamin OKeefe, 18,
remembers Googling
the word anorexia and
finding a website that
said it halts menstrua-
tion. There was noth-
ing targeted at me, said
OKeefe, who struggled
with the disorder in high
school in Florida.
He exercised constantly
and sometimes ate only a
cheese sandwich for days
at a time. He suffered
massive headaches, slept
incessantly and fainted on
stage while rehearsing for
a play.
While he weakened,
people were saying,
Wow, you look great,
OKeefe remembered.
He began talking about
his past struggle with
anorexia upon launch-
ing a petition earlier this
year urging Abercrombie
& Fitch known for its
shirtless models to
carry larger sizes.
Men who battled
anorexia or bulimia as
teens told the Los Angeles
Times that other prob-
lems often drove their dis-
orders. Piperno, the Simi
Valley man, said it began
as a way of exerting con-
trol over his body after
suffering sexual abuse.
Matthew, a 20-year-old
who faced anorexia as a
teen in the Pasadena area,
first avoided eating to
numb out the alcohol-
ism of his father and step-
mother.
Its not about the
body, said Matthew, who
spoke with the Times on
condition that his last
name not be used. Its
a mental issue it just
manifests itself through
the body.
Rob stands next to a self-portrait or a body trace where one side depicts reality and the other side depicts perception. The young man
made this artwork while at Roger Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for an eating disorder in 2011.
The LEGION Primary Knee System with
VERILAST Technology has been lab tested
for 30 simulated years of wear performance.
This revolutionary implant was
lab tested more than twice as long
as other knee replacements.
Its lighter weight weighing
20% less than traditional knee
technology. And it substantially
reduces wear a leading cause of
knee replacement failure.
Its time to put a stop to your chronic
knee pain. Ask for the only knee lab
tested for 30 years of wear performance.

Based on laboratory wear simulation testing, the LEGION Primary Knee System with VERILAST Technology is
expected to provide wear performance sufficient for 30 years of actual use under typical conditions. The results
of laboratory wear simulation testing have not been proven to predict actual wear and performance in people.
A reduction in total polyethylene wear volume or wear rate alone may not result in an improved clinical outcome
as wear particle size and form are also important factors in the study of the potential for wear caused by loss of
calcium from bone and implant loosening. These other factors were not studied as part of the testing.
There are potential risks with knee replacement surgery such as loosening, fracture, dislocation, wear and
infection that may result in the need for additional surgery. Do not perform high impact activities such as running
and jumping unless your surgeon tells you the bone has healed and these activities are acceptable. Early device
failure, breakage or loosening may occur if you do not follow your surgeons limitations on activity level. Early failure
can happen if you do not guard your knee joint from overloading due to activity level, failure to control body weight
or accidents such as falls. Knee replacement surgery is intended to relieve knee pain and improve knee functions.
Talk to your doctor to determine what treatment may be best for you. Additional information available at

Kris Jenner tries variety with talk showco-hosts
LYNN ELBER
APTelevision Writer
LOS ANGELES Kris
Jenner isnt going it alone
on her new talk show: Joan
Rivers and Sean Diddy
Combs will be among the
co-hosts sharing the stage
with Jenner.
The shows producer
said Monday that Jenner
will be paired with a dif-
ferent co-host for each epi-
sode of the daytime show,
titled Kris.
The talk showgets a trial
run starting next week on
selected Fox stations.
Meet the mob on National Geographic series
The FBI couldnt do it but evidently
the National Geographic Channel can.
The network will offer real-life Maosi,
cops, informants and former feds spill-
ing the beans about organized crime
in its new series, The History of the
Mob, premiering July 28.
Each episode will encapsulate
a time-frame starting with 1970.
Declassied les, memories of fed-
eral ofcials and the mobsters them-
selves will illuminate the times of high
expectations and low-lifes.
Sal Polisi, a former associate of the
Colombo and Gambino crime syndi-
cates, explains, There was three basic
reasons to get killed in the Maa. It
was either, A, you were an informant,
B, you disobeyed your boss, or the
third possibility was that you slept
with a made members wife or daugh-
ter. That would get you killed for sure.

ABC Family has conjured an unusu-

al reality showcalled, The Vineyard,
set to premiere July 23. Filmed on
Marthas Vineyard, the show features
a variety of landlubbers whove come
together to spend the summer on one
of the worlds most famous tight little
islands. Youll meet a mixture of the
usual suspects: the shy girl, the party
boy, the opinionated rebel, the hunky
pre-med student, etc. ABC Family
usually does laudable work, so this
may not be as bad as it sounds.

What really happened to King Tut,

the boy king of the Nile? Why do his
remains bear signs of severe trauma
on his left ribcage ? Why was his heart
missing? Why is his tomb so modest
compared to other pharaohs of his
time? All these questions will be posed
Wednesday using the very latest tech-
nological and academic advances on
PBS perennial Secrets of the Dead.
Ultimate Tut, features archaeolo-
gist Chris Naunton probing these and
many other puzzles still surrounding
the life and death of Tutankhamun.

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

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
thinking about
planning a sur-
prise wedding
for me and my fi-
ance. We have been
together for eight
years and have lived
together for seven. We put off the
wedding for many reasons, chiefly
the cost because those things are
expensive. We do not want to just
elope.
The idea of having a theme party
and inviting all our friends and family
occurred to me the other day. Then,
in the middle of it, we could bring in
a priest and tie the knot! I have fig-
ured out the cost, and it shouldnt be
more than a grand. We could swing
that.
But my question is, do we tell
anyone about it beforehand? I told
one of my girlfriends and my fiance,
and they think its a great idea.
It would take a lot of stress off.
Should I tell my parents? They
sometimes blab (Dad is worse than
Mom) when theyre excited about
something.
Stealth Bride-To-Be
Dear Stealth Bride-To-Be: One
person you should definitely discuss
this with would be the priest. Ask
if he would be willing to marry a
couple who has been living together
because some arent, and also if hed
prefer the solemn vows be taken
in a house of worship rather than
a theme-party atmosphere. If thats
the case, you may have to settle for
an officiant of another faith or a
justice of the peace to perform the
ceremony.
Also, I suggest you rethink your
idea of keeping this happy news from
your folks, who may have been pray-
ing for this for seven years. They
might feel very hurt to find they were
kept in the dark.
Dear Abby: My husbands step-
mother and father send religious-
themed gifts for every holiday. We
have an abundance of unused books,
DVDs, stickers, coloring books,
dolls, bookmarks, etc., purchased
from local Christian stores for a hefty
price.
We dont see them often during
the year because we live in different
states, but we would like our kids
to have a good relationship with
them. The kids dont seem to be
fazed by it, but they also dont get
excited about opening and using
these gifts.
We pay for our children to partici-
pate in religious education as well
as attend several church functions
during the school year. We believe
grandparents should be interested
in learning about what each child
is drawn to, and not so much about
preaching their own religious beliefs
to us. It makes us uncomfortable and
resentful at times.
How does one politely tell in-laws
to stop sending religious-themed
gifts?
Overloaded in South Carolina
Dear Overloaded: One doesnt. A
better way to handle it would be to
communicate with them in between
these holidays and tell them what ac-
tivities the grandkids are involved in,
and any new interests they may have.
A stronger hint than that would be of-
fensive, and I dont recommend it.
As to what to do with the unused
items donate them.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Couples idea for a surprise wedding may need some further thought

memorable and most frequently re-

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Doubt
has its place. It can be helpful
as helpful as faith and at times
even more so. It can prevent mis-
takes of overconfidence. Doubt
can save the day. Of course, its
something to keep in check.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Theres
a fine line between showing con-
cern and becoming a busybody.
Be sure to ask more than once
whether your advice or help is
indeed needed and dont be
disappointed when they can
handle things on their own.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
confrontational mood will bring
about change. The change itself
may be unnecessary; many of
the best things in life are. But it
will keep things interesting, so
why not?
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Oscar
Wilde said, I can resist anything
except temptation. Your powers
of resistance are strong, but a
great temptation will challenge
them. Take a deep breath, and
consider the consequences.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll find
out what happens when you put
all of your attention into one
special interest: The awesome
stuff becomes weird, and the
weird stuff becomes awesome.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youre
strong. You may wish you could
be lazy. Alas, thats not who
you are. Once you get moving,
youll remember why you choose
strong again and again.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Thinking
differently is harder than moving
your body differently. But if you
can learn a new dance or sport,
you can learn a new thought
process.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You feel
good when youre productive. Its
important to note, though, that
your worth doesnt come from
your productivity. Do it for the
joy it brings you and others.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Are they trying to bring you
down? Its because they perceive
you as being above them. Its a
sign that your power is on the
rise. How do you use that power
in a way that doesnt make ene-
mies? Answer: quietly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Busy people often feel impor-
tant. Some say that busy
doesnt equal important.
Then why are busy people so in
demand? Making commitments
does make you important to the
others involved.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Deferred dreams are often like
submarines: invisible below the
waves, until they unexpectedly
torpedo your day. Bring your
aspirations to the surface, and
reclaim them to the world.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is
unnecessary now to overturn
the powers that be. This isnt a
time for revolution; its a time
for exploration. Better to set off
for new horizons than to waste
energy trying to transform the
old stomping ground.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 9).
Something you thought was fun
a few years back now gets new
life. This revival puts joy in your
work, and youll play differently,
too. Theres business to clear up
in August, and then youre free
to pursue a lucrative job. Your
lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 11, 8
and 32.
