Move delays action and could backfire if Congress rejects his call
McClatchy Washington Bureau
President says military action is called for, but will wait for congressional approval first
ANALYSIS
Remember that lofty goal of all public school students being procient in reading and math by 2014? Fuggedaboutit. Technically, the goal applied to students in grades three through eight and 11 the ones required to take annual state standardized math and reading tests, but the rhetoric made it sound like it applied to all students, literally. The name of the law that set the goal was No Child Left Behind. Yet with the wave of a pen, or more exactly a federal waiver granted to Pennsylvania, all that disappeared last week. Ten years of chasing Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, ended, even if all the testing continues. When the state makes its annual public release of test results sometime next month, there will be no mention of AYP. The 100 percent prociency goal is likewise kaput. Signed in January 2002 with bipartisan support from President George W. Bush and liberal icon U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, the law mandated annual testing nationwide and required the percentage of students scoring procient or better rise steadily until hitting 100 percent in 2014. States could devise their own tests and decide what the percentage goal was for each year, but the feds had to approve. See NO CHILD | 14A

District Judge James Dixon has seen an increasing number of Spanishspeaking residents pass through his ofce in Hazle Township each day, and he and others said more interpreters are needed to make court proceedings run smoother.
Its difcult, to say the least, Dixon said. His observations have not gone unnoticed. Though there are 30 documented languages spoken in Luzerne County, court Administrator Michael Shucosky said, there are only three state-approved interpreters serving the countys 300,000-plus residents. We need qualied interpreters. There isnt enough in the state, said Shucosky, adding that at times English seems to be a second language in
Luzerne County. The shortage of interpreters is a nationwide problem, Shucosky said, and he noted the Philadelphia court system only recently obtained a Chinese interpreter for its growing population. News reports from Ohio and California also chronicle the need for interpreters for the growing immigrant population and not only at the court level, but throughout the community See TRANSLATE | 13A

HAZLE TWP. Every day, District Judge James Dixon tries to overcome the language barrier.

SHICKSHINNY The Town Hill United Methodist Church wants everyone to know about a fantastic Florida destination. But its not the one with the big-eared mouse. The Town Hill youth group in June volunteered for a week at Give Kids the World, a nonprofit organization helping children with life-threatening illnesses. One of the families said how they love coming here because no one looks at them differently because they have a handicap, said youth group member Sarah Shaffer who went on the trip with her parents and brother. She said there was a sign in front of every resort villa that
read welcome home, greeting families as they arrived to their lodging for the week. Give Kids the World is run almost entirely by volunteers and ranked by Charity Navigator as one of the most efcient nonprots in the country, boasting it uses only 8.3 percent of donations for administrative costs. It was founded in 1989 by hotel magnate Henri Landwirth who spent most of his teen years in Nazi concentration camps. The resort, called The Village, is situated between Disney World, Universal Studios Florida and SeaWorld. Families from around the world, identied by groups such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, stay free of charge and get free tickets to see the
nearby amusement parks. Town Hill Church Pastor Bethany Wood said she found The Village while looking for volunteer opportunities near Disney World, hoping to answer the question How do you instill in people a desire for service? The Florida tactic worked, she said. Three non-church members volunteered with them. The whole thing is to teach them that if you do small things, its going to change someones life, Wood said. Shaffer is a sophomore studying to be a teacher at East Stroudsburg University. For her, the trip went deeper than simply stirring oatmeal and serving hot pancakes in the morning. It opened her eyes to human resilience and peoples desire to be happy despite the

WILKES-BARRE Stefanie Salavantis, who lost a sister to alcoholism, spoke on Saturday about the impact addiction has on families. She said it is important to separate the disease of addiction from the person suffering, never giving up hope of recovery. Salavantis, Luzerne Countys district attorney, was attending the second annual Overdose Awareness Day observation at Kirby Park, not only in her ofcial role, she said, but also as a family member wanting to make a difference in the community, to reach out to those suffering from addiction and their family members. I am one of you, she said, and you are not alone. Salavantis also noted the link between addiction and crime in
our area. A focus on intervention and recovery benets both the addict and the community in the long term, she said. She credited county specialty courts with providing intervention and treatment for those in the criminal justice system. Carol Coolbaugh, coordinator of the event, told attendees the stigma attached to addiction is unnecessary and unproductive. Addiction is a disease in which family members often feel shame, said Coolbaugh. Gatherings such as this provide support for those still suffering and hope for the future. Coolbaughs efforts are in memory of her son Erik, who four years ago lost his battle with addiction. Michael Donahue, former administrator of Luzerne County Alcohol and Drug Services, encouraged family members gathered to honor loved ones lost to addiction by reaching out to others. Now a drug and alcohol consultant, Donahue recalled the loss of a member of his family,
and said it increased his determination to educate and inform the community, to help addicts and their families understand that recovery is possible. Attendee Dave Magdalinski, in recovery for more than 20 years, stressed the importance of structuring ones life and of self-care to make long-term sobriety possible. He also emphasized the importance of family support and personal effort. Darlene Magdalinski, community activist, addressed attendees, sharing a poem that reinforced willingness to sacrice and purposeful gratitude in the lives of our young people. We need to be as excited about other peoples success and recovery as we are our own, she said. We need to come together as a community. One highlight of the event was a balloon release, as the names of those who had lost their battles with addiction were read by family members. As the purple and white balloons ascended, many attendees took

the opportunity to reect on the lives of those lost, with both sadness and gratitude. Locally, an organization known as GRASP, for Grief Recovery After a Substance Passing, provides support to families. Overseen by
Coolbaugh, the group meets twice a month and welcomes new members. Information about the organization is available by calling 570991-7199 or visiting its website: www.grasphelp.org.

The self-anchored suspension of the new eastern section of the San FranciscoOakland Bay Bridge is seen at left next to the current section that is closed to traffic. When traffic flows across the new stretch of the bridge for the first time next week, it will do so nearly a quartercentury after a deadly earthquake during the 1989 World Series collapsed two 50foot sections of the old structure. The Bay Bridge failure, one of the temblors most memorable images, prompted a $6.4 billion rebuilding project.
MARIANNA, Fla. University of South Florida researchers began exhuming dozens of graves Saturday at a former Panhandle reform school where horric beatings have been reported in hopes of identifying the boys and learning how they died. The digging and work at the site will continue until Tuesday, with researchers hoping to unearth the remains of four to six boys before resuming at a later date, said Erin Kimmerle, the USF anthropologist leading the excavation. After work began Saturday, relatives of one of the boys
believed to be buried at the school held a private prayer at the grave sites. The family has provided DNA in hopes of nding a match with Robert Stephens. School records show he was fatally stabbed by another inmate in 1937, but his family hopes to conrm how he actually died through the exhumation efforts. If his remains are found, his family says they will be reburied in a family plot in Quincy. That will be a great sense of homecoming, Tananarive Due said. The boy was Dues great-uncle. She was at the site Saturday with her son, father and husband, and said she hopes that other families will also be able to locate relatives buried there. Their families never had a proper opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones. In a lot of cases children just disappeared, said Due, who
lives in Atlanta. Former inmates at the reform school from the 1950s and 1960s have detailed horric beatings in a small, white concrete block building at the facility. A group of survivors call themselves the White House Boys and ve years ago called for an investigation into the graves. In 2010, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement ended an investigation and said it could not substantiate or refute claims that boys died at the hands of staff. USF later began its own research and discovered even more graves than the state department had identied. USF has worked for months to secure a permit to exhume the remains, nally receiving permission from Gov. Rick Scott and the state Cabinet after being rejected by Secretary of State Ken Detzner, who reports to Scott.

In these historic cases, its really about having an accurate record and nding out what happened and knowing the truth about what happened, Kimmerle said of efforts at the school, which opened in 1900 and
shut down two years ago for budgetary reasons. Kimmerle said the remains of about 50 people are in the graves. Some are marked with a plain, white steel cross, and others have no markings.
Dense smoke from a wildre burning Saturday in and around Yosemite National Park in California hampered both suppression efforts and the prized views sought by holiday weekend tourists. For the rst time since the blaze broke out in a neighboring forest two weeks ago, smoke obscured Yosemite Valley, home to the parks most popular landmarks, spokeswoman Kari Cobb said. Meanwhile, reghting aircraft remained grounded because of low visibility caused by the smoke, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Mark Healey said. The blaze had scorched 343 square miles of brush, oaks and pines and 11 homes, as of Saturday. Of that total, 94 square miles of wilderness have burned in the northern section of Yosemite, up from 75 square miles a day earlier.
JAMIE STENGLE NEWARK, Texas The teachings of televangelist Kenneth Copeland and his family focusing on the virtues of trusting God to keep healthy are under scrutiny after a cluster of measles cases linked to his familys North Texas megachurch revealed many congregants hadnt been vaccinated against the highly contagious disease. Kenneth Copeland Ministries has won supporters worldwide through television programs, crusades, conferences and prayer request networks. He was a pioneer of the prosperity gospel, which holds that believers are destined to ourish spiritually, physically and nancially. Although church ofcials were quick to act after the outbreak including hosting clinics in August where 220 people received immunization shots and have denied they are against medical care or vaccinations, people familiar with the ministry say there is a pervasive culture that believers should rely on God, not modern medicine, to keep them well. To get a vaccine would have been viewed by me and my friends and my peers as an act of fear that you doubted God would keep you safe, you doubted God would keep you healthy. We simply didnt do it, former church member Amy Arden told The Associated Press. Health ofcials say 21 people were sickened with the measles after a person who contracted the virus overseas visited the 1,500-member Eagle Mountain International Church located on the vast grounds of Kenneth Copeland Ministries in Newark, about 20 miles north of Fort Worth. Of the 21 people who contracted measles linked to the church, 16 were unvaccinated. The others might have had at least one vaccination, but had no documentation. Symptoms of the measles, which is spread by coughing, sneezing and close personal contact with infected people, include a fever, cough and rash. Those infected are contagious from about four days before breaking out into the rash to four days after. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children get two doses of the combined vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, called the MMR. The rst dose should be given when the child is 12 to 15 months old and the second at 4 to 6 years old.

Several aftershocks rattled a remote Aleutian Island region off Alaska in the hours after a major 7.0 temblor struck with a jet-like rumble that shook homes and sent residents scrambling for cover. At least three dozen aftershocks, including one reaching magnitude 6.1 in strength, struck after the major quake Friday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. There were no reports of damage or injuries from the earthquake, which occurred in a seismically active region. It was strongly felt in Atka, an Aleut community of 64 people, and the larger Aleutian town of Adak, where 320 people live.

A suicide bomber detonated his explosives near a police checkpoint and a bank in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, one of two attacks in the heartland of the insurgency that killed 18 people over 24 hours. Separately, a NATO service member was killed by insurgents in the countrys east, according to a military statement. No group immediately claimed responsibility for any of the attacks, but Afghan President Hamid Karzai blamed the bombings on the Taliban. The militants have escalated their activity as U.S.-led foreign forces reduce their presence in the country and are in the nal phase of handing over responsibility for security to Afghan troops.
MANASQUAN, N.J. No, it wasnt a great summer to do business at the Jersey shore. But considering the damage Superstorm Sandy did to the region last fall and the Herculean effort to get large swaths of the coast ready for tourists and residents by Memorial Day, many say they are grateful they had any kind of summer season at all this year. What hurt us was there are a lot of residents who are still displaced by the storm people that I see all the time, whose children Ive watched grow up, who Ive seen maybe once or twice all summer, said Matthew Riccelli, general manager of Gee Gees Pizza, which has been a xture on the Manasquan beach walk for three decades.
The business and an adjacent arcade were wrecked by the storm, which lled the 8-foot-high basement with 6 feet of sand, shattered doors and windows, and ooded interiors. Riccelli said business was down by 30 percent this summer because of the lingering effects of the storm on tourism but also by an exceptionally rainy rst half of the season. A carwash his friend owns also is down about 30 percent this summer, he added. On the Belmar boardwalk, the Exit 98 Boutique reopened in a steel shipping container for this summer. Foot trafc was about the same as last year, but profits were down, said longtime employee Kathy Ferrara. Every last thing had to be replaced, from the rst piece of clothing to the last paper clip, every hanger, every rack Wite-Out! Stupid things like Wite-Out we had to replace, she said.
Gov. Chris Christie, who has based much of his re-election campaign on the states recovery from the storm, said no one expected a normal summer this year. He spent the rst week in August at the shore with his family, sitting on the beach, playing miniature golf, strolling boardwalks and dining out every night. We knew that this summer was not going to be like the summer of 2012; I said that right from the beginning, he said. Theres no doubt that business was going to be down all over the Jersey shore because a lot of people, having seen the extraordinary devastation, didnt believe wed be able to be up and running in time for summer. They turned out to be wrong, and I think well get them back next year. But its a lot better than people in November and December thought it was going to be.
CAIRO
In a case that rufed feathers in Egypt, authorities have detained a migratory bird that a citizen suspected of being a spy. A man in Egypts Qena governorate, some 280 miles southeast of Cairo, found the suspicious bird among four others near his home and brought them to a police station Friday, said Mohammed Kamal, the head of the security in the region. There, ofcers and the man puzzled over the electronic device attached to the suspected winged inltrator. On Saturday, a veterinary committee called by concerned government ofcials determined the device was neither a bomb nor a spying device.
NEW DELHI An Indian juvenile court on Saturday handed down the rst conviction in the fatal gang rape of a young woman on a moving New Delhi bus, convicting a teenager of rape and murder and sentencing him to three years in a reform home, lawyers said. The victims parents denounced the sentence, which was the maximum the defendant faced. The family had long insisted the teen, who was 17 at the time of the December attack and is now 18, be tried as an adult and thus face the death penalty insisting he was the most brutal of the womans attackers. He should be hanged irre-
spective of whether he is a juvenile or not. He should be punished for what he did to my daughter, the victims mother, Asha Devi, told reporters after the verdict was announced. Indian law forbids the publication of the teens name because he was sentenced in a juvenile court. The attack, which left the 23-year-old victim with such extensive internal injuries that she died two weeks later, sparked protests across the country and led to reforms of Indias antiquated sexual violence laws. The government, facing immense public pressure, had promised swift justice in the case. The convicted teen was one of six people accused of tricking the woman and her

Many are there for the rst time, while others are in the nal year of their formal education. There will be tears, from some prekindergarten and kindergarten youngsters starting school, and from parents as they leave their new college students at the dorm. Statistics make clear that those with college degrees generally will do better than their peers who do not graduate and that those who drop out from high school face an even more dismal future. As the school year begins, some facts and gures about education in America: HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE THERE? The National Center for Education Statistics estimated that in 2013, 50.1 million children will be enrolled in U.S. public schools and 5.2 million will be in private school. That doesnt include students who are homeschooled. The Education Departments statistics arm also estimated there were 1.5 million U.S. students home-schooled in 2007; advocates of home schooling advocates put the number higher. Enrollment in colleges and universities was estimated to reach a record 21.8 million this fall, according to NCES, the Education Departments statistics arm. WHOS TEACHING THEM? There are about 3.3 million elementary and secondary public teachers in 2013, leading to a student teacher ratio of 15-to-1, NCES said. The average teacher in a public school earned about $56,000 for the school year that ended in 2011, according to the agency. When adjusted for ination, that salary is only 3 percent higher than it was for the year that ended in the spring of 1991. WHAT ABOUT SPENDING ON KIDS? Teacher salaries are just part of the total spent on educating children. All told, NCES says $591 billion will be spent during the new school year. That breaks down to an average $11,810 for each student. WHAT ARE STUDENTS BEING TAUGHT? The buzz word these days is Common Core. The Common Core State Standards establish benchmarks for student learning in math and reading. Forty-ve states and

ACCSC Accredited Flexible Class Schedules Financial Aid Available for those who Qualify Career Placement Assistance for all Graduates
the District of Columbia have adopted the standards, which critics decry as tantamount to a national curriculum. Supporters counter that the standards are necessary to ensure that high school graduates are ready for college or career. DRESSED AND EQUIPPED FOR SUCCESS In some households, it is a tradition that children get a new outt for that rst day of school. But the cost is just a fraction of what parents pay to get their children ready for school. The National Retail Federation estimated that a familys back-to-school spending for elementary and secondary school in 2013 would average about $634.78. Thats down more than $50 from the previous year. For college students, theres a higher cost. The federation said back-toschool spending for a college student would average $836.83 this year, also down from 2012. JUMP START ON COLLEGE More than 2 million students took 3.7 million Advanced Placement exams in 2012 in an attempt to earn college credit while still in high school, according the College Board, which administers the test. The numbers have increased steadily since the 1955-56 school year, when 1,229 students took 2,199 exams. But the increase in participation doesnt necessarily translate into an increase in college credit. In 1992, 65.5 percent tests scored at least a 3, usually the minimum grade to earn credit. That dropped to 59.2 in 2012. STICKER SHOCK The tuition and room and board bills already have arrived, and in many cases the due dates have passed. So what does it cost to attend a college or university these days? It depends on the type of school you go to. Two-year, public community colleges will cost in-state students and their parents back about $10,550 this academic year, while the price tag for attending a four-year public institution of higher education averages about $17,860, according to the College Board. Choose to cross state lines to attend a public university? The price tag is an average $30,911. The cost of a private, four-year college or university $39,518, the College Board said. THATS A LOT OF MONEY. WHERE CAN I GET HELP? Most families dont foot the entire tuition bill, at least right away. According to NCES, 79 percent of undergraduates received some form of nancial aid for the 2011-12 school year. Of that total, 59 percent got grants and 42 percent took out loans. Other aid includes veterans benets and federal PLUS loans for parents. Aid on average totaled $10,000, NCES reported. After months of wrangling, Congress averted a doubling of federal student loan rates this fall. IS THE COST WORTH IT? Consider the nancial benets of nishing college. The Census Bureau reports that adults with bachelors degree or more earned an average $81,761 in 2011. Those with high school degrees or GEDs earned an average $40,634, while the average wages for workers who didnt nish ninth grade was $26,545.

NEWTOWN, Conn. Ten thousand decisions go into creating a big, boisterous parade. No one knows that better than Robin Buchanan, who for years has juggled the lineup at the Labor Day parade that has jubilantly closed out every Newtown summer for more than ve decades. But never before had this happened: Calls and emails from regulars, folks who always marched, concerned about the most basic decision of all. Are you going to have a parade, they asked her, this year? This year. Meaning: After the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, after the eulogies for 20 rstgraders and six educators, amid the drumbeat of news stories across the country and hushed conversations around town, all adding up
Children hold a flag as it passes down Main Street during last years annual Labor Day parade in Newtown, Conn. In the wake of a mass shooting in the town, parade officials struggled to decide if the event should go on as usual this holiday weekend.

still to incomprehension. A parade, this year? On an icy evening back in January, barely a month after the shootings, a small group met with sad hugs to
confront that question. Its always been a daunting task for the Labor Day Parade Committee to map out the two-hour extravaganza to arrange the vintage warplane yovers
or get the stagecoach thats pulled by four matched horses or the balleld-size American ag, or whatever, to make sure of security and to hash out ways to pay the bills.
But this time, the committee members two of whom serve out of devotion even though theyre divorced from each other sat hollow-eyed under the uorescent lights of a bank conference room. Outside, handmade memorials still uttered on lampposts. The funerals were still raw memories. How could you focus on a parade? Who would be the grand marshal, a happy honor normally but surely a heavy burden this time around? What would the theme be? Could it be anything but a memorial? But if so, what kind of parade is that? Hows everybody doing? someone asked. There were tears as they went around the table, answering. Its a tight group, and this was the rst time theyd been together since the incident. Yet they knew that planning a parade is a long process. And they sensed that, somehow, this year it could be one piece of the enormous task facing the shattered town and many beyond it, of nding ways to move forward through grief. So they got going, staying on the mundane issues of assigning duties and making preliminary decisions. I think were all kind of nervous about how we proceed, said Beth Caldwell, the head of the committee, a petite, hard-
charging real estate agent by day. Through the months ahead, she would work to maintain a delicate balance respectful of what has happened and still offering an avenue of celebration. Often shed be the one, when discussions turned somber, who injected a laugh or a cold dose of letskeep-moving reality. We can say what we want to happen, she said, assessing the job ahead, but the parade kind of takes on a life of its own. A long tradition Newtowns parade has been a xture since 4,000 spectators turned out for the rst step-off on Sept. 3, 1962. It often falls on a glorious Indian summer day, but even in drizzle, people come out to see their neighbors march, to catch the veterans color guard or the cartwheeling gymnastics team, or just to laugh at parade nonsense, like the grand marshal who once showed up in a gorilla suit and roller-skated the whole route. Parade mornings start early. At rst light, you see cars pulling to the curb all along Main Street, and folks unloading folding chairs and blankets that will line more than a mile of lawns. Having staked out front-row spots, they drive away for a quick breakfast. Meanwhile, youll see a kilted bagpiper or perhaps a couple of Minutemen in full

regalia, or maybe even Abe Lincoln in his stovepipe hat, heading north along the sidewalk to join their units. Obliviously, theyll pass a cheerleader and football player, both also in uniform, hurrying the other way to join theirs. And blending incongruously with regular trafc, youll notice polished Model Ts or nned 1950s Cadillacs with their tops down, Army jeeps and spindly antique farm tractors spouting puffs of black exhaust. They, too, cruise toward their places in line. Then, with a sirens whoop and the rattle of snare drums, it starts. For two hours, the ood of marchers, oats, politicians, clowns, bands and Civil War re-enactors glides past, the latter stopping every once in a while to re a rie salute that startles old folks and sets a few babies bawling. There are animals of all kinds, from equestrian units and rescued shelter dogs to alpacas and, sometimes, beribboned cows from a dairy farm on the edge of town. A couple years ago, volunteers were called to help unfurl and carry the largest American ag which stretched across the wide street. Spectators spontaneously joined in, marching along with children dancing in the moving shadow underneath. Civic groups, businesses and church congregations walk and wave. The schools muster their smiling, shouting herds, including the elementary schools, including, some years, Sandy Hook Elementary. So this was the parade that marched for ve decades, lighting up the town, right up through Labor Day 2012, three months before the world rst heard of Newtown. Marching Strong A foot of snow from a weekend noreaster covered the ground when the parade committee members got down to business at their second organizational meeting in February. They went over the items agreed on back in January: Though theyd considered several possible grand marshals from the police chief to the pastor of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, which lost so many children theyd decided no one person was enough this year. The whole town would marshal this parade, in effect. Theyd settled on the theme during a discussion about qualities they wanted to highlight. Committee secretary Dan Cruson, the town historian who takes a long view, noted, were strong meaning the town would get through this. And Caldwell, looking up from taking notes on the suggestions, offered her own: We are Newtown, marching strong. Adopted.

PITTSBURGH A deal to allow natural gas drilling at the Pittsburgh Airport could generate $500 million in royalties over the next few decades, but for now none of that money
will go directly to Allegheny County or nearby townships. Thats because Federal Aviation Administration rules mandate that any revenue generated by airport-owned mineral, natural, or agricultural products or water go back to the airport.
Allegheny County ofcials have accepted the rule but havent given up hope. We will certainly abide by that, County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said in an email. If opportunity exists to utilize those funds to reduce the burdens on the countys taxpayers, we fully expect to pursue that. In February, the Allegheny County Airport Authority approved the deal with Consol
Energy, which paid a signing bonus of $50 million. Ofcials hope royalties will add $450 million over the next 20 years. Some area residents are wondering how or if local government will benet. Will we get any of the money? asked Barbara Leary, 73, who has lived in nearby Coraopolis for 43 years. If parts of the wells extend beyond the airport and under private property, Consol will
need to sign leases with those people, too. And, indirectly, the townships may benet in other ways. Consol will need water to fracture the shale rock in the 47 wells it plans to drill about 300 million gallons total. The company plans to buy that from the nearby townships of Moon and Findlay. If all the water came from Findlay, it would bring in about $2.4 million in new revenue
over the next four years at the current retail rate of $7.94 per 1,000 gallons, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported. So its a very big thing for our authority, Jason Orsini, general manager of the Findlay Township Municipal Authority, told the paper. Pennsylvania also has an impact fee that provides local government with some revenue from drilling operations.

HARRISBURG Sensing an opportunity to limit Gov. Tom Corbett to one term, six Democrats have declared their candidacy for the 2014 primary, and three more are giving it serious thought. They are bucking history, since no sitting governor has lost a bid for a second term in the nearly 40 years since governors have been permitted to seek re-election. But Corbett, a Republican, is widely viewed as vulnerable, and the governorship is the only statewide ofce on the ballot. This is the marquee race in our state, said Elena Cross, executive director of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. This is our primary concern. Weve built our structure around making sure that were holding Tom Corbett accountable. As Labor Day weekend unofcially heralds the 2014 campaign season, Corbetts administration is in disarray, his political future cloudy. A Franklin & Marshall College poll released Thursday showed only 20 percent of voters and only 38 percent of Republicans believe Corbett deserves another term. The survey of 594 voters was sponsored by several news organizations. None of Corbetts major initiatives new taxes to bolster transportation projects, prospective rollbacks in public pension benets and the privatization of state-controlled liquor and wine sales got majority support despite Republican control in both houses. Turnover among Corbetts top advisers has been steady since he took ofce in 2011. His longtime spokesman recently stepped down as part of an overhaul of his communications shop, and his nominee for education secretary was dismissed. Most of the Democrats running in the May 20 primary or thinking about it have high-level experience in state government. Contenders include U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, former state revenue secretary Tom Wolf and two former environmental protection secretaries who served in Gov. Ed Rendells administration, Katie McGinty and John Hanger. Two of the undeclared hopefuls have won statewide campaigns: state Treasurer Rob McCord, who has formed a campaign committee that lets him raise money, and former state Auditor General Jack Wagner, a Pittsburgh resident who lost this year in that citys mayoral primary. Other declared candi-
dates are Pentecostal minister Max Myers and Lebanon County Commissioner Jo Ellen Litz. State Sen. Mike Stack, of Philadelphia, has said he is considering running. The Democratic State Committee meets Feb. 8 to endorse its primary favorite, something that requires a two-thirds majority vote a tall order even for a popular candidate. On websites and in public appearances, the candidates are working to dene themselves apart from the pack. Schwartz touts her strong recognition in the heavily Democratic Philadelphia media market. Wolf, who briey ran for governor in 2010 but dropped out, raised eyebrows when he announced he would plow at least $10 million of his own money into his primary campaign. Hanger, who served as a state utility regulator for ve years before Rendell appointed him to head the DEP, is emphasizing wideranging policy proposals that include tougher gasdrilling laws, the revocation of state funding for failing charter schools and the decriminalization of marijuana. McGintys campaign stresses her governmental and private-sector experience in environmental protection and her Philadelphia upbringing as the ninth of 10 children.

Barr Gartley, a kind and gentle man who lived for his family, lost his battle with cancer on Friday. Barr truly did live for his family and was a xture at any events involving his children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. His favorite way to spend time was watching his family, but especially his grandsons Shamus, Joshua and Ian participate in sports. He rarely missed a game or match and could always be seen recording the score and information about the event in one of his alwayspresent pocket notebooks. Born in Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 14, 1933, Barr was the son of the late Edgar and Edith (Barr) Gartley. Following his graduation from Coughlin High School, Barr proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy. Until his retirement, he was the longtime warehouse manager for the former Pomeroys Department Store chain and worked briey for Geisinger. He was a member and past master of the Landmark Lodge 442 of the Fraternal Order of Masons. He was also a member of the Polish American Veterans Club and a former member of the Lions Club. In addition to his parents, Barr was preceded in death by his son, Kevin, in 2011; infant sister, Jacqueline; sister, Shirley (Evans); and brother, Edgar. He is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 52 years, Mary (Ward) Gartley; his daughter, Lisa Gartley, of Wilkes-Barre; his sons, Barr Gartley of WilkesBarre, and Scott Gartley and his wife, Tina Gartley, of Plains Township. He is also survived by three grandsons, Shamus,

BEDFORD A secretary to the warden of a county jail has been charged with stealing more than $50,000 going back ve years. Sheila J. Suter was charged Friday with felony theft after Bedford County Prison Warden David Kessling allegedly noticed checks and money orders were being deposited but not cash. She was terminated from her job. The money Suter was accused of taking was from incoming inmates and was supposed to be deposited in a local bank. Inmates didnt lose money because Suter reimbursed them from the bank account, police said. The Pittsburgh TribuneReview reported Suter, 64, was red in 2001 over a relationship with a guard and for violating a state law against taking obscene material into a prison. Prison ofcials found a Playgirl magazine when they were clearing out her desk, according to reports. She later won an arbitrators decision that she was wrongfully dismissed, and she was re-hired in 2003. Kessling told the newspaper he took over her duties after her recent health problems. She was handling all the money collected from inmates, but there was really no oversight, Kessling said. Weve instituted a number of changes to make sure this sort of thing doesnt happen again.

A nascent campaign against employers use of unpaid interns is taking aim at what critics call some of the longstanding practices biggest enablers: colleges that steer students into such programs in exchange for academic credit. Organizers hope to have mobilizers raise the issue on campuses as students return to school this fall, with a particular emphasis on schools in New York, Washington and Los Angeles. They also want to join up with organized labor as part of a broader coalition focused on workplace issues. The backlash against working for free and sometimes paying tuition for the privilege comes after a federal judge in New York recently ruled that Fox Searchlight Pictures violated federal minimum wage and overtime laws by not paying interns who worked on the 2010 movie Black Swan. Angry interns have also sued record compa-
nies, magazine publishers, modeling agencies and TV talk show hosts. Leaders of the Fair Pay Campaign, a group organized in 2012 to ght the internships, say they are taking their social mediadriven effort right to the top: they plan to press the White House to end its use of unpaid interns. Getting college credit is a tangible benet of internships, said campaign organizer Mikey Franklin, a 23-year-old British expat who now lives in Washington. But I cant pay my rent with college credit. Franklin said he founded the Fair Pay Campaign when he was unable to land a paid political job after working as a campaign organizer on Marylands 2012 samesex marriage ballot measure. Everybody told me you cant get a job on (Capitol) Hill unless youre an unpaid intern, he said. The more I looked, I saw it was an incredibly widespread practice. His allies include University of Nevada-Las Vegas student Jessica Padron, who is trying to defray the $6,500 costs of a four-month Washington internship
for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid with a crowd-sourced online fundraising campaign. At New York University, a petition drive asks the school to remove unpaid internship listings offered by for-prot businesses. More volunteers are pitching in, he said, although he declined to provide specics about the campaigns nances. A recent survey reported that 63 percent of graduating college seniors this year had an internship, the highest level since polling began six years ago. Nearly half the internships were unpaid. The expansion of internships comes as President Barack Obama and Congress have been emphasizing the problem of growing student debt. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act sets out a six-part test to determine whether an internship can be unpaid. The internship must be similar to training which would be given in an educational environment, run primarily for the interns benet and involve work that doesnt replace that of paid employees. Defenders of academicdriven internships emphasize the educational benets of bringing students into the workplace.
NEWS
JERRY LYNOTT
Lawmakers representing Northeastern Pennsylvania in Washington, D.C. welcomed President Barack Obamas decision to seek congressional approval to use military force against Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians. The president on Saturday said as commander in chief he believes he has the authority to take military action without authorization from Congress, but will present his case to the House and Senate that
his approach is necessary in response to the deadly attacks and to punish Syrian President Bashar Assad. U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, saw rsthand the effects of the conict when he visited the region in April and met with Syrian refugees on the Turkish border, he said. Casey, who participated Friday in an intelligence briefing on Syria as a member of the National Security Working Group, said a debate on Syria policy is very important and I wish it had started sooner. I have no doubt that Bashar
al-Assad has used chemical weapons against his own people, he said. Casey, co-chair of the Weapons of Mass Destruction and Terrorism Caucus, pointed out that in November he presented a comprehensive approach to the Syrian crisis and called for a more assertive approach to the conict in Syria, believing the Assad regime was a threat to the stability of the region and the broader security interests of the U.S. Every day that Assad remains in power helps Iran and Hezbollah who plot against the
United States and its allies, Casey said in a prepared statement. I believe that it is in the U.S. national security interest to respond to this most recent chemical attack. I appreciate the administrations efforts to consult with Congress about the situation as we collectively assess our response. U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton said he applauded the president and looked forward to examining the case to be made to lawmakers before voting on whether to authorize the use of force. America is at its strongest when proper chan-
nels are followed and the nation speaks with one voice, Barletta said. Barletta said that he wanted to hear what overriding American national security interests are at stake to support military strikes. Rogue nations have threatened to attack Israel in retaliation for any American action, said Barletta. There is also the very real fear that al-Qaeda is heavily involved with the rebel forces which would seemingly benet from our intervention. Finally, it is troublesome that even our closest ally, Great Britain, has
rejected participation through a vote of its Parliament. Earlier in the week U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Zionsville, said it appeared to be an established fact that chemical weapons were used and, coupled with Assads behavior, there was a national security interest to the U.S. This calls for an American response, being mindful to avoid a long-term military engagement in the Syrian civil war, said Toomey. The president must explain to Congress and the American people the objectives and risks of any action.
Syria
From page 1A should take military action against Syrian regime targets, Obama said. The president said the missions scope would be limited and he was confident we can hold the Assad regime accountable for their use of chemical weapons, deter this kind of behavior, and degrade their capacity to carry it out. Secretary of State John Kerry Friday presented evidence that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons in an Aug. 21 attack in a Damascus suburb. The U.S. evidence, Obama said Saturday, corroborates what the world can plainly see hospitals overflowing with victims; terrible images of the dead. All told, well over 1,000 people were murdered. Several hundred of them were children young girls and boys gassed to death by their own government. The attack, Obama said, is an assault on human dignity, and presents a serious danger to U.S. national security. It risks making a mockery of the global prohibition on the use of chemical weapons, he said. It endangers our friends and our partners along Syrias borders, including Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq. It could lead to escalating use of chemical weapons, or their proliferation to terrorist groups who would do our people harm. Congress wants more details, and senators Saturday were briefed by administration officials, the third such briefing in three days. Another is scheduled Sunday for House members, and more briefings are planned during the week. Obama administration officials began writing a resolution but not a declaration for war for Congress to consider when it returns. Congress role in advising and consenting to war has become murky. Though Congress has the constitutional authority to formally declare war, it last did so at the outset of World War II. Recent presidents have often avoided seeking legislative consent before launching military action. The 1973 War Powers Resolution, approved during the turmoil of the Vietnam War, says a president must consult with Congress. Obama stressed Saturday that he has done that, and has the authority to strike Syria now. Everything is ready, he said. The Chairman has indicated to me that our capacity to execute this mission is not time-sensitive; it will be effective tomorrow, or next week, or one month from now. And Im prepared to give that order, the president said. But, he added, having made my decision as commander-in-chief based on what I am convinced is our national security interests, Im also mindful that Im the president of the worlds oldest constitutional democracy. Saturday, House Republican leaders signaled they were ready for a debate, and suggested it would go for a few days starting Sept. 9. This provides the president time to make his case to Congress and the American people, the House Republican leadership said in a joint statement. We are glad the president is seeking authorization for any military action in Syria in response to serious, substantive questions being raised. However, Rep. Peter

Estimates are 100,000 Syrian civilians have been killed and all of a sudden the U.S. government has manufactured the excuse of the use of chemical weapons in Syria to use that excuse to intervene in Syria, said Tristan Brosnan, 25, of Washington. In Boston, more than 200 protesters demonstrated in the Boston Commons against the possible use of force. They waved signs and chanted Dont Bomb Syria! over and over again, and at least one speaker said congressional authorization wouldnt make an attack acceptable. More than two dozen protesters gathered at the Arkansas Capitol to oppose an attack. Some wore T-shirts proclaiming NO U.S. INTERVENTION IN SYRIA. I had friends that died in Iraq, and I dont want more people to die for nothing, said Dominic Box, 23, expressing some of the fears of a war-weary public. In downtown Chicago, about 40 people walked quietly in the rain, circling a sculpture in Daley Plaza. Some carried signs that read No War In Syria and Shut It Down. I dont believe in spreading democracy the way theyre doing it, said Tyke Conrady, 44, who attended the protest with three friends. In London, more than 1,000 protesters carrying Syrian flags and placards marched to Downing Street and rallied in Trafalgar Square. Some hailed the parliaments vote Thursday against British participation as a victory. And about 700 people turned out for an antiwar demonstration in Frankfurt, Germany, police said. Organizers said only a sovereign, independent Syria free of foreign interference would make it possible for the Syrian people to shape the countrys future. At a protest organized by left-wing opposition parties in Amman, Jordan, Kawthar Arrar described any military intervention as an aggression on the whole Arab world. The protesters gathered outside the U.S. embassy, chanting slogans and setting fire to American and Israeli flags.

From page 1A in hospitals and businesses. Were all competing for a small pool of interpreters, Shucosky said. Growing concern The county budget allocates $80,000 for interpreter services, a number that might increase next year because a new initiative within the judicial system calls for both criminal and civil proceedings to have an interpreter present if needed, Shucosky said. Currently, only criminal proceedings call for interpreters to be present. In Luzerne County, there is a certied American Sign Language interpreter, Martha Andras, of Hazleton, and two Spanish interpreters: Joussy Olsen, of White Haven, who is certied by the state, and works as an independent contractor, and Thelma Kennedy, of Sugarloaf, who is qualied by the state and is employed by

the county. According to the Administrative Ofce of Pennsylvania Courts, interpreters who are certied are paid between $45 and $60 a hour while those who are qualied receive between $35 and $40 an hour. The county is fortunate to have Kennedy on staff, but her schedule is packed and she cannot do all of the work herself, Shucosky said. The county previously had two other interpreters, but in October 2012 they did not pass the state test governed by the AOPC, which now
requires a more stringent state certication exam than in the past. Silvana Calderons language abilities help in her duties as a secretary in District Judge Dixons ofce. She is a blessing, said Dixon. She isnt qualied by the state, so we cant use her for criminal proceedings. But she helps in almost every other aspect. Statewide judicial issue At the July statewide judicial conference in Hershey a major topic discussed among Court of Common Pleas judges
was interpreter services, Shucosky said. Now, they want to make sure interpreters are available for civil proceedings, he said. That will spread the minimal amount of interpreters in the county even thinner, Shucosky said, and will require the county to use outside resources more frequently. Both county and magisterial district courts have the option to use an outside company that provides more than 120 language translations by phone, but these can be used only for court pro-
ceedings less than 30 minutes, Shucosky said. The other option Shucosky has is to call interpreters who serve the state to see if they are available to come to Luzerne County. The county employs one person who is in charge of contacting interpreters on a daily basis, Shucosky said. Typically, an interpreter is needed up to six times a week for court proceedings. That number will only increase with the additional of civil matters, Shucosky said. We have 1,700 new custody cases each year, he said. Those alone will call for a greater need for interpreters. It is difcult to schedule out-of-town interpreters because they arent always available when needed and must often drive signicant distances to get to Wilkes-Barre. Shucosky said Pittsburgh is the farthest away an interpreter has traveled to Luzerne
County, and that the county recently had to locate a Creole interpreter twice for court proceedings. In other court proceedings in recent history, the county has had to nd interpreters who speak Swahili, Russian and Montenegrin. In March 2012, several Spanish-speaking interpreters had to participate in a homicide trial in which one defendant spoke no English and several witnesses and family members needed translators for the trial and and sentencing three months later. The proceeding was lengthy at times as an interpreter translated a witness testimony into English or while an interpreter spoke to the defendant, Rodolfo Hiraldo Perez, of Hazleton. If an interpreter is needed for a hearing and then the hearing is canceled, said Shucosky said, the county must still pay
a cancellation fee. I can understand that because theyve declined other work to help us, he said. Translation issues The state-mandated test often calls for interpreters to translate slang terms or terms that arent typically used any more, such as bailiff, Shucosky said. Languages such as Spanish also come with different dialects with which an interpreter may not be familiar with. Despite those complications, Shucosky said, he does not think the AOPC testing should be changed or made easier. You dont want the misinterpretation of one word to affect the whole outcome of a court proceeding. The AOPC does provide training and seminars to interpreters, held throughout the year. The testing is done orally and certication is required every two years, according to the AOPC.

From page 1A such as James Tupper in Trucksville, dont typically deal with a large volume of non-English-speaking cases. We very seldom need an interpreter, Tupper said. But we do have them from time to time (at hearings). Others, such as Joseph Zola and Dixon, have bilingual secretaries on staff. Typically, for a short proceeding, Dixon uses a speakerphone in his small courtroom to call a stateprovided telephone number to reach an interpreter. Dixon chooses from a list of several languages and waits sometimes several minutes for the interpreter to take the call. Then, Dixon and the parties involved crowd around his bench, intently listening to the speakerphone, sometimes shouting over it in heated discussions. Its a safety concern for everyone and is sometimes hard to understand if everyone is shouting over each other, Dixon said. Dixons secretary, Silvana Calderon, is able to assist in some civil proceedings if things become too difcult, but since she is not a state-approved interpreter she cannot help with criminal proceedings. At least 80 percent of the people who come through his ofce see Calderon rst because they need help in Spanish, Dixon said. Dixon also uses a videoconferencing monitor that allows him to dial in to an interpreter at the Luzerne County Courthouse, and also enables him to reach the county prison, state prisons and locations outside of Pennsylvania. The videoconferencing machine, called Polycom, is typically used for latenight or early-morning arraignments, but Dixon said he has used it once to have an interpreter during a proceeding. Its saving tax money and time, keeping police close by and not requiring everyone to travel, Dixon said. Dixon can use the telephone dial-an-interpreter for short proceedings, he said, but if a preliminary hearing is scheduled for a criminal proceeding an interpreter needs to be present. In that case, Dixon must notify county court three weeks ahead of when he plans on having the hearing to make sure an interpreter is available. Its not fair to anyone who cannot understand fully what is being said in court, Dixon said on behalf of Spanish and English speaking individuals participating in the same proceeding. Sometimes we have family or friends translate for civil proceedings to make it go easier, Dixon said, adding a typical proceeding can be extended by many hours due to the need for translators. Dixon knows enough Spanish from his time as a Hazleton city police ofcer to keep himself safe, he said, but suggested it would only be benecial to him to learn how to uently speak the language. Right now, with our county budget and shortage of interpreters, theres just not enough resources (to address language needs), Dixon said. So far this year Dixon has processed 4,100 cases through his ofce, he said, and expects to have at least the second-highest caseload of county district courts by the end of the year. His ofce needs many resources that have been lacking, but language interpreters are among the most needed, he said.

From page 1A Schools also had to hit minimum goals in graduation or attendance rates, and test participation rates. The prociency goals also had to be reached by subgroups of students that statistically do poorly on such tests, including special education, English Language Learners, minorities and low-income students. Hit all the goals and a school was said to have made Adequate Yearly Progress. Making AYP became the holy grail for public schools. Missing it created an image problem; missing it repeatedly brought state action ranging from requirements to increase student support to allowing students to transfer to another school. The ultimate consequence: A state takeover of the school. Unattainable standards What happened? Critics argue reality kicked in. As 2014 approached and the prociency percentage kept climbing, more schools missed AYP. Consider: In 2005, only seven Luzerne County Schools missed AYP; in 2012, only 19 schools made AYP (the number of schools varied slightly over the years as some closed and others recongured in ways that meant they were not teaching grades being tested; last year the county had 62 schools measured for AYP). As the trend became obvious and the federal government failed to take any action to revise No Child Left Behind (it should have been re-authorized in 2007) the U.S. Department of Education started granting waivers letting states set up alternative systems of accountability. Pennsylvania was late in the game; 41 states already had sought and won waivers. Essentially they are acknowledging that every kid is not going to score procient, Luzerne Intermediate Unit Executive Director Anthony Grieco said. Take a special education kid who, diagnostics tell us, is functioning four or ve years below grade level. Its not fair to expect him to take the same test as other students his age. The LIU provides a variety of services to area districts, primarily special education. Along with the states 28 other Intermediate Units, it is tasked with helping districts adapt to what will replace AYP: School Performance Proles, or SPPs, which will report how a school has done in meeting four Annual Measurable Objectives, or AMOs. (AYP might be dead; government acronyms are alive and kicking). In a nutshell, the waiver moves the state away from a xed prociency goal and looks instead at individual student progress. Here are the essentials, as spelled out in state documents: Instead of labeling schools as making or not making AYP, the state will recognize schools by three designations: Priority, Focus or Reward. The designations will apply only to schools with a high percentage of Title I students. Title I is shorthand for the federal law that provides money for education programs helping low-income students. According to Pennsylvania Department of Education spokesman Timothy Eller, there are 48 such schools in Luzerne county. No high schools are on the list, though WilkesBarre Areas junior/senior high schools (GAR and Meyers) are. The three designations will be determined based on aggregate math and reading prociency in grade schools, and on the states new Keystone exams in algebra I and literature for high schools. (The state replaced the 11th-grade math and reading tests with Keystone exams in several subjects, which are given when a course is completed and can be retaken multiple times). Unlike AYP, which was based on absolute goals, the reward, focus and priority designations will be relative. The highest 5 percent of Title I schools will be reward schools, the lowest 5 percent will be priority schools, while the lowest 10 percent excluding those designated as priority will be focus schools. A school can also become a focus school if the graduation rate is below 60 percent or test participation is below 95 percent. All public schools will get the new, annual SPPs, letting the public see how they are doing in reaching their AMOs, but only the Title I schools will get one of the three designations or no designation, if they are between the bottom 10 percent and top 5 percent. Reward schools will get public recognition and be eligible to compete for state grants, though that assumes the state will have money to give out as grants. Priority and Focus schools will get increased assistance from the state to improve student achievement, but might also be required to make substantial interventions, which could include replacing principals or teachers. What are the AMOs? Along with test participation and graduation rate goals, schools must close the achievement gap in test results for all students,though Grieco noted educators are still awaiting guidance on what that means exactly. Its happening late and the state Department of Education is is really in ux, Grieco said, noting there technically is no secretary of education and the acting secretary, William Harner, has only been on the job a few weeks. Schools must also close the achievement gap for historically underperforming groups, which refers to those subgroups mentioned before. But Grieco noted the new system doesnt treat each group separately, instead looking at them as one large group. I think its more equitable, Grieco said. Under AYP, a student could belong to multiple subgroups a minority English Language Learner from a lowincome family, for example, and a poor test result would count against the school in each subgroup separately. Now that student only counts once. The new system will rely heavily on the Pennsylvania Valueadded Assessment System tests, which are designed to measure individual student achievement each year against what that student should have, statistically, accomplished. The new system also lets schools use other assessments to demonstrate student progress. West Side Career and Technology Executive Director Nancy Tkatch said this could be a big boon for schools like hers, where students attend full-time and receive both their academic classes and career training. West Side never ofcially made AYP, which was gauged by the 11th-grade math and reading tests. Tkatch said the new system will also look at results in the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute (NOCTI) Tests, and that West Side students do very well in those though she added there has been big improvement in the traditional state tests as well. Measuring each students growth rather than performance as a whole will favor us because we see signicant growth within each year, Tkatch said. Tkatch is less sure of one other component of the waiver: using data in the SPPs and AMOs in evaluating teachers under the states new teacher evaluation system. Im not sure one way or another yet, she said. There are other ways to measure teacher effectiveness, and Im not sure thats the best emphasis.

Vows
When newlyweds Sarah Abrams and Eric Wagner emerged from Our Lady of Victory Church at Harveys Lake on Aug. 17, Sarah remembers wondering, Why is there a horse in the parking lot? I was on cloud nine, and it didnt even hit me, she said. Then I saw a white rose on the horse and thought, Oh my gosh. Thats for us. Parents of the bride, Joan and Bill Abrams of Dallas, had succeeded in keeping the horse-drawn carriage a surprise, and it was an appropriate one, considering how much their daughter and new son-in-law love animals. Back when Sarah, 27, and Eric, 26, were both pharmacy students at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, a little dog named Winston helped forge their bond. A beagle mix, Winston was a malnourished, poor little pup when Sarah rescued him from the streets. Those streets werent the safest place, so when Eric noticed his classmate out walking the rescued dog, he offered to accompany them. There was a turning point in our relationship, Sarah said, remembering how she and Eric nursed Winston back to health after he was struck by a car. While the dog was recuperating, it took both of them to carry him up and down stairs, with one person supporting his back legs in a towel harness and the other opening doors. If we could get through this, she remembers thinking, we could get through a lot together. Winston has died, but the newlyweds have new pets a 120-pound black lab/bull mastiff named Dakota that Sarah gave to Eric as a Christmas present, and a black lab/boxer named Bella they inherited from Erics sister, Nicole, after she died in a 2007 car accident. That was the same year Sarahs sister, Beth Abrams Finarelli, was recovering from a hemorrhagic stroke and a series of seizures she suffered while pregnant with her son, Mikey. Shes one of the strongest people I know, Sarah said of her sister. She taught me how to ght back against the things life throws at you. During the wedding, the couple honored both sisters, having Beth serve as matron of honor, and lighting a candle in front of a photograph of Nicole at the church. The couple got engaged in 2011 on the beach at Cape May, N.J., where they were sharing a picnic and bottle of wine. The reason I picked there (for the proposal) was because it was her childhood vacation place, Eric said.
Jeff steinberg will bring his message of inspiration and hope to Emmanuel Assembly of God at Harveys Lake on Friday.

Shed gone there every year of her life. The sentimental choice was perfect, said Sarah, who had come to believe Eric would be an ideal life partner when she saw how he interacted with his family. When I saw how he treated his mom, when I saw how he acted with his own family, that made it all clear to me, she said. See HORSE | 2B
A 5-year-old boy once approached Jeff Steinberg and in the simple, direct way children have, pointed at the hook Steinberg uses to grip a microphone. Whats that? the boy wanted to know. I told him its a hook, Steinberg said. What do you have that for? the boy asked. Because I dont have any hands, came the answer. Why dont you have any hands? I used to bite my ngernails, and I went too far. Steinberg, who will visit Emmanuel Assembly of God church at Harveys Lake on Friday, said audiences usually laugh and relax when he tells that little story because his humor shows hes comfortable with what many would see as a disability. A singer and inspirational speaker, Steinberg was born without hands or arms and with malformed legs. He stands about 4 foot 6, much shorter than the 6-foot-8 passerby who once tapped him on the shoulder in a parking lot and asked Are you driving that red Lincoln? Yes, Steinberg told him. Its too big to push. Theres that humor again. But there is a serious side to Steinbergs message. Im a masterpiece in See LITTLE GIANT | 2B

From page 1B progress, he said. Ive thought about being made in Gods image. What exactly does that mean? I dont believe my physical appearance is an accident. In my opinion I am created to be just as he imagined. That allows me to say to people, You dont have to feel sorry for me. Im not a mistake. Now, what are you going to do with what hes making out of you? I am really hoping a lot of people come and hear Mr. Steinberg talk, said the Rev. Lawrence. D. Reed, who invited the speaker to come to the church. Hes going to touch a lot of hearts. Steinberg, 62, likes to encourage people, from church groups to school groups to prison inmates, no matter what sort of difculties they face. Over the years, he admits, hes also enjoyed proving people wrong, especially when their expectations were low. His mother, for example, predicted hed spend his life in an institution. His father told him hed never be able to drive a car. Ive driven too many miles to count, Steinberg said. Im married. I have children. Im a recording artist. I travel the world. Steinberg maintains two distinct websites, jeffsteinberg.net and tinygiant.com, in keeping with two styles of presentations he gives. One style is motivational with a get-off-the-couch, work-toward-your-goals message appropriate for public schools and other secular groups. The other style includes a spiritual dimension, with Steinberg talking about faith and his belief that, he is, to quote the Bible, fearfully and wonderfully made. His local appearance on Friday at Emmanuel Assembly of God will be the spiritual presentation and will include Steinberg singing some songs written for him by his friend Jeffrey L. Rudloff.
ing you forget that shes Oprah Winfrey so you can accept and embrace the character shes playing. That character, Gloria Gaines, is the conicted, proud wife of Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker), a White House butler who serves eight presidents. Gloria grows discontented by the long hours required by her husbands job. You and the White House can kiss my , she tells Cecil at one point. I dont care what goes on in that White House. I care what goes on in this house. Though Gloria isnt the title character, director Daniels affords her plenty of screen time even when she isnt speaking. Often in group scenes where she has little to
say, Daniels keeps the shot tight on Winfrey, affording her the opportunity to reveal the inner life of her complicated character. Those eyes are mesmerizing, Daniels says, while admitting, at the same time, that not everyone seeing the rough cut of the movie shared his enthusiasm for those long close-ups of Winfrey. You know what it is? Shes got Bette Davis eyes. They were hypnotic, and I was seduced. Will Oscar voters be similarly beguiled? Academy members can be star-struck too, particularly when the talent in question comes from outside the usual circle of lmmaking friends and acquaintances.

Its Not Love, Its Just Paris, by Patricia Engel; Grove (272 pages, $25) A young woman on her own in Paris for a year, living in a grand but faded Left Bank mansion-turnedrooming-house, meets a mysterious young man who captures her heart. From the Luxembourg Gardens to the Ile Saint-Louis, they wander the city together, taking shelter in cafes in the rain and spending overheated nights in her tunnel-like room with a balcony that overlooks the garden. As a coming-of-age novel, Its Not Love, Its Just Paris might sound as if its theme is rather well-trod, but the title puts you on notice. This is no saccharine tale of awakening. Rather, its a cleareyed recasting of a classic storyline executed with condence and just enough city-of-lights magic by Miami author Patricia Engel to conjure up something that manages to be familiar and new. This is a novel to get lost in. Lita del Cielo is the daughter of two Colombian orphans who made up their last name it means of the sky just as they created a different life for themselves and their children in the United States. Their impressive climb to success started with oor-sweeping at night and a kiosk selling arepas by day and has resulted in a global
food distribution company, with Litas father nicknamed the King of Latin Foods and her mother called Our Lady of New Jersey for the never-ending helping hand she extends to new arrivals. But Lita chafes under the weight of her parents expectations that the life theyve built should be more than enough for her. She wrangles permission from them for a year off to explore Paris while she takes classes. Because her father wont let her live alone, she secures a room in the crumbling mansion called The House of Stars run by Seraphine, a countess nearing 90 with kohl-lined eyes and a mahogany sleigh bed she rarely leaves. The house is populated by other young, wealthy women on various types of sabbaticals from their real lives. Most are self-declared artists with bloodlines they brag about, waving the family crest rings on their ngers. Lita is admitted to this company mostly on the strength of her family money, nouveau though it might be. She is ripe for a big change why go to Paris otherwise? and so when she meets the elusive, off-kilter Cato, she is smitten. The more he holds her off, the more she wants to be with him. She moves into his home outside the city, abandoning her classes, playing house with him. Its a dizzying time until complications set in. She learns he is sick, his lungs diseased by the winds of Chernobyl
when he was child. Additionally troubling: Hes the son of Antoine de Manou, a notorious political gure who advocates keeping all foreigners out of France. This disaster-in-the-making Lita refuses to see; shes lled with the power of young love. But how true is her love when all the time, the clock is ticking on her year? What will she do when her time is up? Renounce the life and fortune that her parents worked so hard to build? Stay in Paris with Cato? Engels spare writing she teaches at the University of Miami and her debut, Vida, was a New York Times Notable Book of 2010 offers a needed counterweight to the romance of the story and setting. Engel crafts her sentences with narrowed eyes and a sardonic air, heavy on observation, discerning in details. A waiter on the prowl for sex scratches his back on the edge of Litas doorway like a cat. Two French girls wear nearly identical knee-grazing oral dresses with black bras peeking out, barely covering breasts they purchased together in Rio the year before because it was the fashion. And Cato has a marbled complexion, scruffy brown hair that looks as though he cut it himself while driving or frying eggs and a misaligned smile. For Lita, worldly and lonely, ripe for passion and adventure, this world and Cato in particular are the answer to a question she
didnt know she was asking. Who is she really, besides the daughter of immigrants and a child of privilege? Near the beginning of the book, during a conversation with friends at a Paris ea market, someone tells Lita that her original reason for coming to France to get an education is false. You came for a story, the friend tells her. Hes right about Lita and, by extension, about us. Were here for a story, too, the sort of full-on, hurts-so-good tale of transformation that Engel delivers with a surprising mix of tenderness and skepticism. And even if we know generally where Engel is leading us, she reminds us: Sometimes the journey is the point.

Fifty Shades of Grey isnt just a fun, racy read, according to a new study that nds the bestseller glamorizes violence against women. Analyzing the naughty novel, psychologists at Michigan State University and Ohio State University concluded that its characters behaviors are consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions ofcial denition of intimate partner violence and that the book perpetuates dangerous abuse patterns. Intimate partner violence is pervasive in the novel, occurring in nearly every interaction between its protagonists, said Ohio State University researcher Amy Bonomi, lead author of the report, which was published Monday in the Journal of Womens Health. Written by British author E.L. James and published in 2011, Fifty Shades describes the relationship between multimillionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele. The book contains explicit scenes depicting bondage and discipline, domination and submission, and sadomasochism, or BDSM. But the study had issues beyond the bedroom scenes. After hearing all the buzz about the book, Bonomi and her colleagues decided to take a systematic approach to understanding the abuse patterns in Christian and Anastasias relationship, analyzing abuse tactics in the rst 124 pages of the book to
Intimate partner violence affects around 35 percent of women globally, the World Health Organization reported in June. Fifty Shades of Grey is the rst in a trilogy that has sold more than 70 million copies worldwide and ranks as the fastest-selling paperback of all time. A lm adaptation is in the works.

see how they measured up with the CDCs standard. According to the federal agencys guidelines, intimate partner violence includes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse. Physical violence includes acts such as slapping and choking, while sexual violence entails forced sex acts, often induced through the use of alcohol or other drugs. Psychological or emotional abuse can involve humiliation, social isolation and stalking. The book depicts multiple elements of such abuse, Bonomi said. Additionally, Anastasia suffers reactions typical of abused women, changing her behavior to maintain peace in the relationship and, over time, becoming disempowered and socially isolated. For example, the researchers pointed out, she withholds information about her plans to
visit friends and family members and avoids social outings so as not to anger Christian. That is exactly what we see in women in abusive relationships, Bonomi said. The abuser is very good at controlling social connections by intimidating the victim. Bonomi said also that its wrong to consider the book a depiction of a healthy BDSM relationship. In consensual BDSM relationships, partners take negotiations seriously and respect each others boundaries, she said. In Fifty Shades, she noted, Christian bullies Anastasia and plies her with alcohol to coerce her into sexual acts that she nds uncomfortable. Consenting BDSM relationships are ne, Bonomi said. But the relationship we see between Christian and Anastasia is different. What we see in them is a clear pattern of abuse. Cris Sullivan, who
researches gender-based violence at Michigan State University and wasnt involved in the study, agreed, explaining that Anastasia is in the relationship not because she enjoys it, but because shes trying to keep the man reinforcing a message that is very pervasive in our society. Thats not a message we want to keep sending to women or men, Sullivan said. Im hoping (the study) will lead people to talk and think about the book a little more critically than just a hot little summer read. The study authors dont call for the novel to be banned but rather for a greater societal awareness of the abuse occurring in the book, Bonomi said. This is really a teachable moment when we should be talking with young people about what abuse is and what are some of the strategies to prevent it.

BOOKS
The Affairs of Others by Amy Grace Loyd; Picador ($24) The Affairs of Others, a debut novel by Amy Grace Loyd, former literary editor of Playboy, has such an intense and heady narrative voice that it recalls those occasions when a substance one has just ingested is a whole lot stronger than expected. One is overwhelmed by the scent of a gardenia, by disturbing sounds from the upstairs apartment, or perhaps by the features on the face of the policeman who has just knocked at the door. He pulsed past me and roamed feet from me; a wiry man, it appeared, with the city all through him. He had a long bone of a nose on a short face, a smallish cleft chin, a profusion of eyebrows. I tried not to see so much, not today, not the wave in his thick hair or his sunloving skin and the wide pores there, or the day-old beard coming in what was a eld of hard black pushing and pushing. This is thirty-something Brooklyn landlady Celia Cassill, whose husband
died ve years ago, leaving her with a mindaltering dose of pain and enough money to buy a building where she has rented out three of the four apartments to people she believes will keep to themselves. At rst, in the imme-
diate wake of her loss, Celia developed Cheryl Strayed syndrome (crazy promiscuity as a result of profound grief, a state Strayed dened in her award-winning essay, Love of My Life). Celia stops going to abandoned diners with strangers on
the subway but is obsessed with both privacy and violation, is lonely, erce and looking too hard at other peoples pores. Also, she has a medicine cabinet full of every drug in the world. Welcome to Blue Velvet in Brooklyn. On the top oor of the building is an ancient ferry captain who Celia has been feeding and caring for. He goes missing, causing his daughter to come over and start a stght with Celia, who roams the city looking for him. Next oor: a young couple on the rocks, whose life Celia keeps up with by snooping when theyre not home. Above her is a gay man named George. The book opens with a party to celebrate his departure for Europe. Though it is not allowed, he has sublet his place to a beautiful middle-age woman named Hope. Hope is on the run from her marriage, has two grown children, a violent lover and a ravaged erotic intensity that Celia is drawn to beyond hope of resistance. The lost ferry captain and the sexual vortex surrounding Hope are the main elements of the rather modest plot, but though not much happens, Celia winds up in somewhat better shape to enjoy the party that ends the book. Those who look for their experiences of altered consciousness through the legal drug of ction will be well satised.
The Dying Hours by Mark Billingham; Grove Atlantic ($25) British author Mark Billinghams talent for sculpting intensely dark police procedurals complements his skill at pinpointing believable contemporary nightmares. At the helm is Detective Inspector Tom Thorne, a good cop, an insightful investigator and often a loose cannon, going off on his own hunches. That he often is right still doesnt sit right with his supervisors. But Billingham uses Tom more as a mirror reecting the changing times, the horrors that can seep into daily lives when least expected. Billingham also is never afraid to shake up Toms personal life and career as he does in his 11th novel in this series. In The Dying Hours, Tom has crossed the line once too often and he is put back in uniformthe Queens Cloth and demoted to Inspector. The uniform is not a good t. His depression over being slapped down erupts at work and at home where he lives with Det. Sgt. Helen Weeks and her 18-month-old son. Tom no longer has the power he did when he headed a homicide squad. His former colleagues show him little respect, and his cases seem to be routine. But Tom sees nothing usual about the apparent suicide of an elderly couple. He believes they were murdered, but no one will believe him even when he links the couple to other suicides of the elderly. His supervisors dismiss Toms theories, saying it is not uncommon for old people to end their lives, especially those who are ill and without families. But each of
Detective Inspector Tom Thorne is at the helm in this dark police procedural.
these people was healthy and had loved ones, even if some families lived far away. Tom gets reluctant help from former colleagues Det. Sgt. Dave Holland and Det. Insp. Yvonne Kitson and pathologist Phil Hendricks, but even they dont believe him. Toms new position gives Billingham a heady advantage to nd new avenues to explore in this character. The Dying Hours forces Tom to work even more as a solo agent, to rely on his own ideas and to re-evaluate his own role as a cop. Tom is accustomed to closing cases, to being a glory hunter, and begins to wonder if that is the only reason why he is a cop. He also looks at his role as a person. The murdered people were each mourned by their families. Will his relationship with Helen last? Will anyone care if he dies? The relentless pace of The Dying Hours doesnt slow down until the last word, proving why Billingham continues to be a best-seller in Great Britain.

PUZZLE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some people create with their hands, others with their bodies, voices and ideas. There are also those who create by building a rich inner life. Their character is their art. Youll fall into that category today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You already realize that trying to keep track of what you did and what the other person did and who did more or less of what will only cheapen the value of your relationship. And yet, the score is uneven. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When your body isnt looking, your mind flees to a fantasy world from an earlier time. As lovely as this adventure may be, your drive to escape is a sign that your current surroundings arent optimal. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sticking rigidly to your principles might serve you well on some days, and on other days (like today), it could lose you friends and supporters. But dont worry. You can soften your message without softening your view. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Instead of forcing your views, make room for people to form their own. Dont bother to explain yourself. When you do the right thing, the ones who did wrong will understand what they did. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You do all you can, and thats all you can do. Luck plays a part after that. Shell start by striking up a conversation with you. Listen to what she tells you. Luck likes a good listener. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youre not afraid to say anything that needs to be said, and yet you are mindful of other peoples feelings. Youll thoughtfully decide on the right approach. You have a gift for perfect timing and wording. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll find that youve hit the point where socializing has become tedious, especially because the same people are always involved. Break into a new circle to get fresh energy flowing through your personal life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What if you found out that the person you want to be is actually who you are now? Would it make you do less or more? Assume that youre already there, and act accordingly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your best teachers, for better or worse, are those who are close to you. Both your neighbors and your enemies are worthy of your utmost consideration. By the way, they are probably one and the same person. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youre ever aware that the way people talk communicates more than the words they use. Thats why youll respond to the tone of your loved ones mood and ignore the verbiage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The fact is that trusting a person doesnt make that person trustworthy, but its a start. Youre willing to take a risk and hope for the best. Your leap of faith will inspire a person to deliver. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 1). The observer in you gathers knowledge and collects beauty until the perfect moment to act. The pleasant floating feeling of September will be followed by a flurry of exciting business in October. November heals relationships, and there will be a move, too. January and June are the best months financially. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 9, 14, 8 and 50.

TRAVEL
SUN VALLEY, Idaho Stuffed morel mushrooms and braised free-range chicken with fennel puree and blackberry compote. Served on linen tablecloths with a carefully matched wine. Pineapple upsidedown cake for dessert. This is wilderness camping? It was a delightful shock for my wife and me as we took our seats at the table streamside on the Middle Fork of Idahos Salmon River, known in folklore as the River of No Return. Both of us are experienced wilderness campers, but weve sometimes dened camp luxury as dry socks. Not on this trip. Our host for the six-day rafting expedition was a family-owned company based in Sun Valley called Far and Away Adventures. It has carved a unique niche in the crowded eld of whitewater guides on the Middle Fork, one of Americas great wilderness rivers.
A rafting and glamping glamour camping expedition on the Middle Fork of Idahos Salmon River, also known as the River of No Return, lets participants go whitewater rafting and sleep in tents, but they also dine on elegant meals served on linen tablecloths with wine, and yoga sessions and massages are provided.

They call it glamping glamour camping and it attempts to re-create the type of experience Ernest Hemingway might have had on a classic African safari.
In other words: No roughing it. No wedging into a tiny backpacking tent for the night. Each couple has a stand-up six-person tent
with cot, mattress and pillow, a lantern on the night table and a rug on the oor. No crawling bleary-eyed from your sleeping bag, hoping someone has hot water for instant coffee. Instead, a guide delivers fresh-brewed coffee to your door with your wakeup call, along with a steaming hot wet washcloth to wipe away the sleep. Need a good stretch to get going in the morning? Join the yoga session after breakfast. Shoulders sore after a hard day of whitewater paddling? The masseuse awaits you at her streamside massage table. Want a hot shower? Just ask; it will be arranged. And the food? Fourcourse gourmet dinners every night, with organic ingredients and a chefs eye for presentation. Gourmet breakfasts as well. And a hot lunch on the river, unique among rafting companies that usually offer cold cuts. All of this, of course, is only a complement to the
central purpose of the trip running whitewater rapids on one of the wildest, longest and most remote stretches of river in the United States. The Middle Fork of the Salmon is one of the eight original rivers protected by Congress in 1968 in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. It runs 100 miles (160 kilometers) through the wilderness of central Idaho, owing between towering cliffs and forested mountains. Over that 100 miles (160 kilometers), it drops more than 3,000 feet (915 meters), a steeper gradient than the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. It has more than 300 rapids, mostly class III and IV (difcult to very difcult). Shooting the rapids from top to bottom takes six days. Camping is on sandy beaches or in groves of ponderosa pine. Campsites are assigned by the U.S. Forest Service before departure, so rafters dont have to worry about sharing a site or not nding a vacant one. They
Campers drink wine on a glamping expedition on the Middle Fork of Idahos Salmon River. With Far and Away Adventures, meals are gourmet, hot showers are readily available, and no detail is overlooked.

can concentrate on the water. And in the prow of a raft, the water is awesome. We plunged through long wave trains of 3- and 4-foot (1-meter) standing waves. We shot through rapids with 8-foot (2.4-meter) drops and standing waves of 6 feet (2 meters) or more that slap you in the face with icy water. We skirted giant whirlpools that stand ready to suck down the unlucky or unskilled boatman. In the short stretches between rapids, wild cutthroat trout lurked in deep turquoise pools. I cast my y rod from the rear of the raft, and those in the rafts behind cheered as scrappy trout hit the y. I was on the raft of Steve Lentz, co-owner of Far and Away with his wife, Annie. He has been running this river for more than 30 years, and he knows by heart the most thrilling yet safest line to row through each of the Middle Fork rapids. Still, getting wet is half the fun; we whooped with joy with each icy splash including the 82-year-old who shared my perch in the front of Steves raft. Like most Middle Fork outtters, Far and Away offers a variety of trips to its clients. There are oar rafts, where a guide sits in the middle and rows through the rapids while the client sits in front and enjoys the thrill. There are paddle rafts, where kneeling clients on each side paddle as a guide in back shouts
instructions and steers; my wife, Joyce, quickly became a paddle raft addict. And there are duckies, solo inatable kayaks that the intrepid can take through some of the easier rapids on their own. Guides make certain that a ducky client does not get over his head both guratively and literally. The nal 20 miles (32 kilometers) of the Middle Fork ow through the aptly named Impassable Canyon, between sheer granite cliffs. Not even trails penetrate the canyon here, and the only way out is through the whitewater. Then its into the mainstem Salmon River and short oat to takeout, where a bus will carry us back to our starting point at Sun Valley. Dry socks will never seem like luxury again.
IF YOU GO
SALMON RIVER TRIPS: The rivers Middle Fork runs 100 miles (160 kilometers) through central Idaho. Several outfitters offer trips with varying levels of service. Far and Away Adventures, http:// www.far-away.com or 800-232-8588, offers a six-day luxury trip, $2,450 per person, beginning and ending in Sun Valley. Trips vary by season: Late May and June, when the river is high with snowmelt, the trip is fastest and most thrilling. As the river drops in July and August, the river slows, but newly exposed boulders can make some rapids even more challenging. The best fishing can be in September. Trips are offered through September.

Careful, now. Thats what Eugene Lewis remembered thinking as he pulled back on his rst college touchdown celebration. You want to get excited when you get in, Lewis said. But youve got to do the right things in the end zone and make sure you dont get a penalty. So his end zone antics consisted of a simple semi-spike. After all, he didnt need a ashy urry. It turned out hed already delivered the knockout punch. The former Wyoming Valley West High School star pulled in a 54-yard touchdown pass for what turned out to be the winning points Saturday in the fourth quarter of Penn States seasonopening 23-17 victory over Syracuse at MetLife Stadium. Talk about starting with a splash. Ive been waiting for this for a long time, Lewis said. For a whole year. A dynamic, big-play offensive machine since his sophomore season at Wyoming Valley West where Lewis lit up the scoreboard with long touchdowns as a wide receiver, quarterback, punt returner and kick returner he was forced to spend his freshman year taking a redshirt and starring on Penn States scout team in 2012. When his rst ofcial college season opened Saturday, Lewis was in

Nobody in the Wyoming Valley Conference needed convincing, after Lewis accounted for 68 touchdowns 46 rushing and 22 passing while playing quarterback during his nal two seasons at Valley West. Neither did OBrien, who took special delight in watching Lewis snag the rst touchdown of his Penn State career. Hes a great kid, OBrien said. He practices every day, hes durable. Hes a guy who always has a smile on his face. He and I go back and forth in practice, busting chops. He likes a certain type of music, I like a certain type of music. Were look-

Christian Hackenberg starred in his rst game for Penn State, Eugene Lewis scored the winn i n g Penn State touchd o w n and the L i o n s Syracuse defense held off a late Syracuse rally for a 23-17 win in the opener at MetLife Stadium. The Lions overcame two interceptions, two lost fumbles, playing the rst half without wideout Allen Robinson for disciplinary reasons and playing the entire second without injured linebacker Mike Hull. Hackenberg, the hyped true freshman, didnt disappoint, throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns to offset a pair of interceptions. The second score

Matt McGloin has made it. He has gone from unheralded walk-on to record-setting quarterback to undrafted free agent to NFL player. The former Penn State quarterback learned Saturday that his improbable career will conAP photo tinue as a member of the Oakland Raiders. Honored to be an ofcial member of the Oakland Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin (14) calls to his team at the line of scrimmage in the second half Thursday Oakland RaidersI may walk slowly, against the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle. but I never walk backward, McGloin tweeted Saturday afternoon.
McGloin was a walk-on quarterback at Penn State who ourished last season under coach Bill OBrien. He led the Nittany Lions to an 8-4 record last year, setting several Nittany Lion single season records. Despite the strong showing, he was not invited to the NFL Combine and was not selected in Aprils draft. He eventually signed a three-year contract with the Oakland Raiders after tryouts with Washington and Carolina. Once in camp with the Raiders, McGloin quickly impressed coaches and moved ahead
of fourth-round draft choice Tyler Wilson on the depth chart. He was Oaklands most consistent quarterback during the preseason. McGloin wasnt the only member of Penn States recent senior class to receive good news on Saturday. Linebacker Michael Mauti, who fell to the seventh round in the draft after injuring his knee in the next to last game of the season, made the Minnesota Vikings 53-man roster. Mauti will join his Penn State teammate Gerald Hodges, a fourth-round pick, on the Vikings roster.

Notre Dame The 14thranked Irish jumped to a 14-0 lead on a pair of Temple three-play drives on its opening two possessions and appeared headed for a blowout. But when the Notre Dame offense stalled, Temple squandered a pair of scoring chances, with Jim Cooper Jr. missing a pair of eld goals. An unsettled feel-

The victory by the Fighting Irish (1-0) was the 200th career win for coach Brian Kelly, improving his overall record to 200-68-2 and at Notre Dame to 29-11. The Owls (0-1), picked to nish ninth in the 10-team American Athletic Conference, fell to 2-76 all-time against ranked opponents. Rees was 16-of-23 passing for 346 yards, registering his fourth career 300-yard passing day as the Irish improved to 11-0 under Kelly in games when they have no turnovers. Although Temple was heavy underdogs, it was still a bit of disappointing start for rst-year Temple coach Matt Rhule, a former assistant coach for the Owls who last season was an assistant offensive line coach

Irish
From page 1C TJ Jones had six catches for 138 yards and Notre Dame had 543 yards total offense, with Amir Carlisle running for 68 yards on seven carries. One of the questions about Rees was whether he could beat opponents deep, with even offensive coordinator Chuck Martin saying he probably wouldnt respect Rees arm strength if he were going against him. But Rees threw the pair of long TD passes to Daniels, who didnt have a touchdown catch last season. Daniels beat Temple cornerback Anthony Robey on both TDs. The rst drive started with Carlisle breaking a 45-yard run up the left sideline to the Temple 37, while the second was set up by a short pass to Jones, who broke two tackles, for a 51-yard gain. The Irish drove to mideld on their next possession, but the drive stalled. Thats when Temple began showing signs of life after Notre Dame safety Bennett Jackson was called for pass interference.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has signed a new ve-year contract, saying it signies that he and school ofcials agree that they are all in it together. Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said the school would not provide any details of the contract, but said he was excited that Kelly would continue to lead the football program. Swarbrick said Kelly has fundamentally changed and restored the Notre Dame program. Kelly had said four weeks ago that a new deal was imminent. Swarbrick had announced in January after Kelly led the Irish to a 12-0 record and the national championship game against Alabama that the school was working on a contract extension. Kelly interviewed for the Philadelphia Eagles job the day after the BCS game in January.

EUGENE, Ore. Marcus Mariota threw a touchdown pass and ran for two additional scores and the Oregon Ducks made easy work of lowertier Nicholls. Mariota, who set an Oregon record with 38 touchdowns last season as a redshirt freshman, completed 12 of 21 passes for 234 yards before sitting after the third quarter when the Ducks had built a 45-3 lead. Mariota also ran for 113 yards for his second career game with more than 100 yards rushing. DeAnthony Thomas ran for 128 yards and two more touchdowns for Oregon in the debut of new head coach Mark Helfrich. Helfrich, the teams former offensive coordinator, was promoted when Chip Kelly left the Ducks in January for the NFLs Philadelphia Eagles.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas After serving his rst-half suspension, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel threw three TD passes and scrambled for 19 yards ran his mouth a bit, too as Texas A&M posted a lopsided win over Rice. Manziel was sitting out because of what the school said was an inadvertent violation of NCAA rules involving signing autographs. His rst touchdown came on a 23-yard pass to Mike Evans on A&Ms second drive of the half. Shortly before that, he got into it with a Rice
graph while getting up from a tackle. He ended his day by getting yanked following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for pointing at the scoreboard after a TD pass in the fourth quarter. He was replaced by Matt Joeckel on A&Ms last drive.
No. 10 Florida 24, Toledo 6
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Mack Brown had a career day, Jeff Driskel was efcient and Florida opened the season with a victory over Toledo. Brown ran 25 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns. Driskel completed 17 of 22 passes for 153 yards and a score. And Floridas defense, which ranked fth in the country in 2012, looked every bit as
ers and its coordinator. The Gators controlled both lines of scrimmage, opening holes for Brown and keeping steady pressure on Toledos experienced spread offense. It was exactly the style of play Florida has become known for under third-year coach Will Muschamp. No ashiness. Few highlightreel plays. But a win in the end. It was Floridas 24th consecutive season-opening victory, the second-longest active streak in the country. Only Nebraska (27) has a longer current run.
No. 13 Oklahoma State 21, Mississippi State 3
HOUSTON J.W. Walsh threw for 135 yards and ran for another 125 and a touchdown to
Mississippi State in the Texas Kickoff. Walsh nished 18 of 27 after relieving starter Clint Chelf on the Cowboys third series. Jeremy Smith rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries for Oklahoma State (1-0), which piled up 432 yards on offense after struggling for most of the rst half. Tyler Russell 10 of 16 for 133 yards before being helped off the eld and taken to the locker room in the third quarter after being brought down on a scramble. Dak Prescott replaced Russell, throwing for 89 yards on seven of 17 passing. LaDarius Perkins rushed for 50 yards on 16 carries and caught three passes for 52 yards for the Bulldogs (0-1).
NORMAN, Okla. Trevor Knight rushed for 103 yards on 13 carries and threw three touchdown passes two to Jalen Saunders - in his rst start and No. 16 Oklahoma beat Louisiana-Monroe. Oklahoma gave coach Bob Stoops his 150th career win, putting him seven behind Barry Switzer on the Sooners career coaching wins list. Oklahoma is 5-0 under Stoops in August games and 14-1 in home openers, having lost only to Texas Christian in 2005. Knight became the rst Oklahoma quarterback to rush for 100 or more yards in a game since Jason White had 117 yards rushing against Kansas on Oct. 13, 2001.
CORVALLIS, Ore. Vernon Adams passed for 411 yards and ran for 107 and the go-ahead score with 18 seconds left as Eastern Washington upset Oregon State to become the third FCS team to beat a ranked FBS team. Adams overwhelmed the Beavers in a performance in sure to attract attention around the nation. He threw for four touchdowns and ran for two, completing 23 of 30 passes despite leaving the game twice once with cramping and a second time after taking a hard hit near the sideline. Adams returned, though, and scored on a 2-yard run to put the Eagles up 49-46. It was the rst time a team from the Football Championship Subdivision has defeated a ranked team from the Football Bowl Subdivision since James Madison beat Virginia Tech in September 2010.
Boston College 24, Villanova 14
BOSTON Alex Amidon had 13 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown as Boston College recovered from a slow start to beat Villanova and win its rst game under coach Steve Addazio. Andre Williams ran for 114 yards on 23 carries for the Eagles (1-0), who won just twice last season and red coach Frank Spaziani.

PITTSBURGH Dillon Buechel threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns in his college debut to lead Duquesne in a victory over Albany.
COLUMBUS, Ohio Urban Meyer is a perfectionist. His second-ranked Ohio State team was less than perfect. Braxton Miller threw two touchdown passes before ghting leg cramps and Jordan Hall ran for two more scores to lead the Buckeyes to a 40-20 victory over Buffalo on Saturday in the season opener for both teams. The Buckeyes, striving for a crisper start after a lethargic outing in Meyers debut in 2012, led 23-0 after the rst quarter before the Bulls made things interesting. Joe Licata threw two TD passes and linebacker Kahlil Mack returned a Miller interception 45 yards to make it 30-20 in the third quarter. But after Miller was sidelined a second time with cramps, sub Kenny Guiton promptly tossed a 21-yard touchdown pass to Chris Fields and the Buckeyes were never threatened again. Licata completed 19 of 32 passes for 185 yards and two scores with one interception, with Branden Oliver gaining 73 yards on 26 carries for the Bulls, who were playing Ohio State for the rst time. Ohio State was in control after its rst three possessions. Miller, who was 15 of 22 passing for 178 yards and also ran for 77 yards on
17 attempts, hit Devin Smith on a 47-yard scoring pass on the fourth offensive play of the season. Then he found Fields on a 7-yard scoring pass. The Buckeyes, who had 10 new starters on defense to start the game, missed a punt block and roughed the punter, then failed on a Hall run on fourth and 1 near mideld. Meyer chewed out his offensive line when it returned to the bench. After Ron Tanner picked off a tipped Licata pass for Ohio State, speedy freshman tailback Dontre Wilson gave it right back on the next play when he was hit by linebacker Blake Bean and Buffalos Derek Brim recovered.

CINCINNATI Munchie Legaux regained his job as the starting quarterback and had a solid showing on Saturday, throwing for a touchdown and running for another in Cincinnatis victory over Purdue the Boilermakers worst opening loss in 17 years. Legauxs dual-threat performance highlighted a game featuring new coaches and a new league Cincinnati (1-0) in the American Athletic Conference. The Bearcats were sharp their rst time under Tommy Tuberville. Legaux was back at quarterback because incumbent Brendon Kay has been limited by a sore passing shoulder. He was 13 of 20 for 146 yards. Purdue (0-1) got a whole new offense under Darrell Hazell, and it didnt work. The Boilermakers took their most lopsided defeat since a 52-14 loss at Michigan State in 1996.

Rudock threw for 256 yards, a touchdown and two picks in his debut for Iowa, which lost its seventh straight game dating back to last season.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Nathan Scheelhaase threw for careerbest 416 yards and two touchdowns to lead Illinois to a win over Southern Illinois. But the Illini had to hang on late to beat the Football Championship Subdivision school. Trailing with 44 seconds to play and fourth down at the Illini 3-yard line, Saluki quarterback Kory Faulkner threw too high for leaping wideout Adam Fuehne. Illinois was up 42-24 with as little as 12 minutes left. The Illini offense was mostly Scheelhaase. He was 28 for 36 and his second-quarter touchdown passes to Jon Davis and Josh Ferguson built a 25-7 halftime lead. Ryan Lankford caught six passes for 115 yards.

ATLANTA Christion Jones became the rst Alabama player since at least the 1940s to have two returns for touchdowns, Vinnie Sunseri brought back an interception for another TD, and the top-ranked Crimson Tide overcame a sluggish offensive performance to beat Virginia Tech 35-10 on Saturday. Jones scored on a 72-yard punt return less than 2 minutes into the game, then scooted loose on a kickoff for a 94-yard touchdown that led the Crimson Tide (1-0) to a win that couldve been much tougher to start its quest for an unprecedented third straight national title. For good measure, the junior receiver also hauled in a 38-yard

HAMPTON, Ga. Less than 14 months after a devastating blow to his career, A.J. Allmendinger reclaimed a full-time ride in the Sprint Cup series. JTG Daugherty Racing announced Saturday that Allmendinger will take over
the No. 47 car from Bobby Labonte next season, capping his comeback from a positive drug test in July 2012 that resulted in a NASCAR suspension and losing his job with Roger Penskes Sprint Cup team. I didnt deserve a second chance, Allmendinger said during a news conference at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
But I worked really hard to get there. He went through a NASCAR-mandated treatment program and managed to land a handful of one-off Cup rides, in addition to getting a chance from Penske to drive in a few IndyCar events. Allmendinger competed in the Indianapolis 500, led 23 laps and nished
seventh a performance he calls probably the biggest moment of my career. He also won two road races in the NASCAR Nationwide Series driving for Penske. Allmendinger landed with a one-car team that includes former NBA star Brad Daugherty among its owners, having persuaded his new employers that hes
improved as a person since a positive test for the prescription drug Adderall. Its really not hit me what happened the last 13 or 14 months, Allmendinger said. More than anything, I wouldnt change any of it. I feel so good about it now. Its taken a lot of hard work to get where I want to be in this sport.
With Labonte, the 2000 Cup champion, enduring a tough season, Allmendinger was tapped to drive the car at Kentucky and Watkins Glen. Hell be behind the wheel again Sunday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway and continue to ll in as needed while Labonte recovers after breaking three ribs in a bike riding accident near
his North Carolina home. Bobbys pretty banged up right now, said Tad Geschickter, another of the teams owners. Hes got another doctors appointment Monday. He may be a gametime decision (next weekend at Richmond), but Bobby Labontes burning passion is to drive the car and see this season through the end.
NORTON, Mass. Sergio Garcia opened with ve birdies in seven holes, closed with an eagle, and wound up as the guy everyone was chasing Saturday at the Deutsche Bank Championship. By everyone, that means 28 players within six shots of his lead with 36 holes to play. And somehow, that includes Phil Mickelson. On another day of soft conditions and plenty of birdies on the TPC Boston, Garcia had a 7-under 64 during a cool, cloudy morning that stood up for the 36-hole lead when the long and wild afternoon was over. The Spaniard was at 13-under 129, one short of the tournament record. He had a one-shot lead over Roberto Castro and Henrik

Stenson. Tiger Woods, in the 1-2-3 grouping with Mickelson and Adam Scott that attracted a massive crowd standing three-deep in spots, made a 35-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 67 and was among those within six shots of the lead. Mickelson, however, managed to steal the show with a 71. And this was no ordinary 71. I was playing terrible, and I shot even par, Mickelson said. I could easily have shot myself out of the tournament. I got it in the hazard I dont know how many times. If I go on and play the way I believe Im going to this weekend, Im going to look back at those nine holes as the key to the entire tournament. Lefty went on some kind of crazy ride, completely losing his swing during one stretch when he looked closer to hitting Rhode Island than hitting a fairway. He drove left into the hazard on No. 9, way right into the hazard on No. 10 and would have found another hazard on the par-3 11th except for hitting a tree. He hit into the gallery to the left on No. 12 and into the gallery to the right on No. 13. His tee shot on the par-3 16th came up short and into the water for double bogey. Mickelson closed with two birdies for a 71 and was ve shots behind.

Penn State 0 6 7 10 23 Syracuse 0 3 7 7 17 SECOND QUARTER SU Ross Krautman 32-yard eld goal, 12:32. Drive: 8 plays, 28 yards, 3:20. Analysis: Bill OBrien indeed gets an early look at both of his quarterbacks with Christian Hackenberg starting and going 6-for-7 on two drives. Tyler Ferguson gets in for the third drive but has the ball simply slip out of his hands for a fumble that Syracuse scoops up at the PSU 43. The Orange convert a long third down to get into eld goal range but the Lions hold from there as Krautman scores the seasons rst points. SYRACUSE 3, PENN STATE 0. PSU Sam Ficken 36-yard eld goal, 5:59. Drive: 9 plays, 30 yards, 2:53. Analysis: Penn State gets some life from special teams as a low snap skips back to Orange punter Jonathan Fisher. That gives defensive lineman Carl Nassib brother of prolic former Syracuse quarterback Ryan a shot at bringing him down for a loss of 17. Syracuse answers right back, however, as Hackenberg throws his rst career interception. Stephen Obeng-Agyapong responds by causing a turnover of his own, ripping the ball away from the Orange at the end of a play. The Lions initially converted a fake eld goal on a run by holder Ryan Keiser, but Syracuse holds from there to set up a real kick. SU 3, PSU 3. PSU Ficken 35-yard eld goal, 0:55. Drive: 9 plays, 41 yards, 4:00. Analysis: Penn State begins to assert itself as the half comes to an end, shutting down Syracuses work-in-progress offense and getting some traction in the trenches. Tailback Zach Zwinak starts grinding out yards as Hackenberg continues to subsist on a diet of designed screens and short passes. Its enough to get the Lions back into eld goal range, but Bill Belton trips over John Urschels foot on a third-down run and Ficken is called on again. The junior converts for his 12th straight make, dating back to last season. PSU 6, SU 3. THIRD QUARTER PSU Allen Robinson 51-yard pass from Christian Hackenberg (Ficken kick), 11:46. Drive: 2 plays, 76 yards, 0:34. Analysis: Its pretty simple. Allen Robinson is very, very good. The reigning Big Ten Receiver of the Year sat out the rst half for disciplinary issues. On his rst snap in the third quarter, Robinson lined up in the slot and took a screen pass 25 yards. On the next play, his man bit hard on a Hackenberg pump fake and Robinson came as wide open as he ever has been. The pass was underthrown, but Robinson still had plenty of time to scoop it up, accelerate to full speed and weave through the rest of the defense for the score. NFL talent on display. PSU 13, SU 3. SU Jerome Smith 10-yard run (Krautman kick), 11:05. Drive: 2 plays, 65 yards, 0:41. Analysis: Not to be outdone, Syracuse immediately hits its rst deep ball of the game on the next play from scrimmage. Safety Malcolm Willis cant keep Jeremiah Kobena in front of him, and the wideout comes up with a 55-yard catch at the Penn State 10. Smith rumbles off left tackle on the very next play and a stunned Lions defense doesnt lay a nger on him as he waltzes into the end zone. PSU 13, SU 10. FOURTH QUARTER PSU Ficken 46-yard eld goal, 14:16. Drive: 4 plays, 15 yards, 1:50. Analysis: The redemption of Ficken continues. Though he had that great streak to close out 2012, all of his eld goals were under 40 yards. Bill OBrien shows faith in the junior on this one and he responds with a career-best kick that gives the Lions a slight cushion and prevents the Orange from starting with good eld position. PSU 16, SU 10. PSU Eugene Lewis 54-yard pass from Hackenberg (Ficken kick), 11:39. Drive: 1 play, 54 yards, 0:08. Analysis: A year ago, Lewis may not have made this play. But the improved technique he gained from a redshirt season helped him deftly streak past a Syracuse safety and run under the bomb from Hackenberg, tracking it down at the goal line for an electrifying score. Its the first Penn State touchdown by a Wyoming Valley Conference alum since fullback Paul Jefferson (GAR) caught an 8-yard score from Zack Mills on Nov. 9, 2002 against Virginia. PSU 23, SU 10. SU Smith 1-yard run (Krautman kick), 6:58. Drive: 1 play, 1 yard, 0:03. Analysis: Syracuses defense gets the Orange right back in it. OBrien has Hackenberg throwing on third-and-long with the Lions trying to kill clock, and the Orange confuse the freshman with a zone blitz. With pressure coming from the corners, defensive end Robert Welsh quietly drops back into coverage and Hackenberg never sees him as he tries to get rid of the ball. Welsh nabs the interception and jaunts down to the Lions 1, where Smith deposits it in the end zone on the next play. PSU 23, SU 17.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. On the TV broadcast, the graphic briefly ashed along the bottom of the screen in the fourth quarter. STEPHEN OBENG-AGYAPONG 54 YARD TD RECEPTION OK, so it was actually Eugene Lewis, who happens to share the No. 7 jersey for the Nittany Lions this season. But it was about the only thing Obeng-Agyapong didnt accomplish in front of friends and family at MetLife Stadium. The senior safety was pressed into duty at outside linebacker when Mike Hull exited the game with an apparent knee injury in the rst half. A veteran who looked to have lost his starting spot in the secondary instead came through with eight tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception in Penn States win over Syracuse on Saturday. My best game ever, ObengAgyapong beamed afterward. Not the least because he grew up just across the river from the stadium in the Bronx with many supporters in the stands. With the Lions dangerously thin at linebacker this season, the coaching staff asked Obeng-Agyapong to work a bit at linebacker in training camp, preferring to use the 5-foot-10, 205-pounder over an inexperienced group of natural linebackers. It was a contingency plan. And Penn State had to turn to it after Hull limped off the eld early in the 2012 opener. Obeng-Agyapongs performance was better than anyone could have expected. He really stepped up for us,

was quickly carted off the eld and did not return. OBrien said he did not have an update on Lehman or Hull after the game. Hull limped off the eld in the rst quarter after making a tackle and briey went to the locker room with trainers. He eventually returned to the eld with his right knee wrapped and played sparingly in the second quarter before calling it a day. He spent the second half on the sideline in street clothes. Its always tough when you lose a guy like Mike Hull, Carson said. Hes one of the hearts and souls of the defense. Hes just a guy that gets after it every time, so its tough. But youve got to keep rolling with the punches. A handful of other players missed brief stretches of the game with minor injuries, including Kyle Carter, Nyeem Wartman, Donovan Smith and Jordan Lucas.
senior linebacker Glenn Carson said. I mean, when a guy goes down, youre looking for that guy to step in. Thats what depth is all about. Hes a kid who works hard. Its his senior year and its really great to see him excel on the eld like that. After a Penn State turnover in the second quarter, Obeng-Agyapong immediately answered for the Lions, ripping the ball free from Syracuse running back Jerome Smith and recovering it himself in the pile. In the third quarter, he took advantage of a poor throw by Orange quarterback Drew Allen for his rst career interception. He polished off his day with the biggest hit of the day, coming untouched on a blitz to level Allen. It was real special, Obeng-
Agyapong said. Especially to do that in front of people who came to the game that usually cant see me. Felt really good. Hes a guy thats just a real team guy, Lions coach Bill OBrien said. It was a great homecoming for him.
Infirmary report
Hulls injury was certainly a cause for alarm for the Lions, but it likely wasnt the most serious issue for a Penn State player on the day. Senior tight end Matt Lehman appeared to suffer a serious knee injury in the rst half. Lehman was untouched when he tried to make a cut at the top of his route only to have the knee buckle on him. Lehman crashed to the turf and immediately clutched at the knee. He
OBrien told his quarterbacks before the game that Tyler Ferguson would get a shot with the rst-team offense on the third series. Things started off well enough for the junior college transfer, who danced away from pressure to nd Matt Zanellato for 18 yards. But on his next drop back, the ball simply slipped out of his hand on his windup and Syracuse recovered, turning the fumble into three points. It was the last time Ferguson saw the eld. Christian Hackenberg played the rest of the way. Im sure he was (disappointed), OBrien said of Ferguson. But at that point in the game, I just felt like it was best to go with Christian.
Lions
From page 1C covered 54 yards to Lewis, the former Wyoming Valley West star, for what proved to be the game-winner. Both were playing in their rst collegiate game. Penn State, we cant dip our toe in the water, Lions coach Bill OBrien said of allowing Hackenberg to throw in all situations. We have to come out ready to go. Weve got to take our shots. If we make a mistake, then we play complementary football and see if the defense can hold them there. We have a lot of improvement to do on offense, but I think everybody can see that theres talent there young (guys) mixed with veterans. I just need to do a better job of coaching those guys on offense. First the youth. Hackenberg was 21-for-32 and his 278 yards were the second most by a Penn State freshman quarterback, behind only Zack Mills, who threw for 280 as a redshirt freshman. Not bad for a guy who just arrived on campus in June and was suddenly playing in front of 60,000-plus in an NFL stadium. Its a big change, Hackenberg said of his sudden rise into the spotlight as the starting quarterback. The coaching staff has helped me get through this, the team has helped me get through this. Im just really trying to immerse myself in the team and what the coaches are preaching everyday. Hes a very poised kid, said OBrien, who revealed that he decided on Hackenberg as his starter two weeks ago, though he never announced it publicly. Hes got a fantastic demeanor. Hes got great parents and I think thats one of the things that stood out to me in recruiting. Hes only 18. Hes got a tremendous future, but were not ready to waltz him into the College Football Hall of Fame or the NFL Hall of Fame. Were just saying hes a talented guy. He showed the good and the bad Saturday. His decisive touchdown to

Lewis was right on the money after Lewis had cleanly beaten the safety over the top. His rst career score a 51-yard connection to Robinson was set up by a very good pump fake to get Robinson wide open, but the pass was underthrown. Robinson was open enough, though, to stop and haul it in before burning past everyone from a dead stop for the touchdown. Robinsons mere presence on the eld was enough to lift the offense. The junior was benched by OBrien in the rst half Thats between Allen and me, OBrien said as the Lions subsisted mainly on a short
passing game lled with screens. They led just 6-3 at halftime. When he took the eld in the third quarter, Robinson promptly racked up six catches for 116 yards and a score before the frame was over. Hes a great player and he made a lot of big plays for us today, as well as Geno (Lewis), Hackenberg said. Robinsons score made it 13-3 and Lewis, who nished with two catches for 62 yards, extended the lead to 23-10 midway through the fourth. The Orange wouldnt go away. OBrien allowed Hackenberg to throw on third-and-long late in the fourth, and the Syracuse came up
with an interception to set up a touchdown that made it 23-17. Syracuse had two shots at driving for a tying touchdown in the nal ve minutes, but the Lions defense stiffened both times. Sophomore corner Trevor Williams closed it out when he picked off Drew Allen on an underthrown ball down the sideline. The pick came right in front of the Lions bench, and started the celebration to close out a hectic day. Our team really came together and got a win, senior linebacker Glenn Carson said. Now were just looking to keep things rolling. We have a really special thing going.
Lewis
From page 1C That future starts now, after Lewis ran a perfect post pattern and snared a beautiful throw from true freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg for the Lions second touchdown of the season. Lewis did a great job, OBrien said. All Hackenberg had to do was throw it. Lewis did a nice job on that, (wideout) Allen Robinson drew some of the coverage, Christian made a nice throw and (running back) Zach Zwinak picked up a blitzer. Christian had the easiest part of that play. It didnt take Lewis long to make the college game look easy for him. He snagged a 7-yard catch on Penn States fth play of the season, a sideline play that helped Lewis shake off some early butteries. Its good, Lewis said. Theres always going to be nerves, rst game. Getting that rst pass calms you down a little, lets you know you can do this. He just knew the big, game-breaking play was coming. Robinson took away the Syracuse cornerback on outside while running down the sideline, and Lewis went straight inside for the deep post. I knew my route was wide open, Lewis said. They changed their coverage. It was single coverage on the inside. Lewis had one man to beat, and he did gaining a step on Syracuse safety Jeremi Wilkes and then going high in the air to make the catch. When Hack threw the ball, I was sitting there waiting, (thinking) Catch the ball, no matter what, the son of Rev. Eugene and Amy Lewis of Wilkes-Barre said. When he came down, Lewis was already falling across the goal line but stretched the ball across the line with his long reach in an extra effort to ensure Penn State had a quick six and a 23-10 lead with 11:39 on the game clock. That gave Lewis two catches for 62 yards on the day, and he now owns Penn States longest scoring play of the young season. I was making sure I was getting in the end zone, Lewis said. As he did, the Lions were sure they added another big-play threat to their lineup. To be honest, my goal was to come out here and do what the coaches tell me, Lewis said. Big plays for a receiver are always the focus, they always help your team win. Im a competitor. I went out there, treated every opportunity like its my last. Chances are, its just the rst of many.

DALLAS The highly anticipated match up of two of the top runners in the state Tessa Barrett of Abington Heights and Regan Rome of Dallas never happened in the Cliff Robbins Memorial Cross Country Races on Saturday at Letterkenny Fields. Rome never ran due to a groin injury. So Barrett, a senior, scored an easy victory in the Girls Varsity 5K, nishing with a record time, 17 minutes and 26 seconds. She outran second-place nisher, Kaelyn Heineke, a senior from Council Rock North, by better than 2:30. I missed having Regan to run against, said Barrett. Shes such a great competitor she pushes me and makes me run faster. It didnt appear that Barrett needed anyone to push her Saturday. She actually shattered Romes course record of 19:07, set last year when Rome defeated Barrett by 35 seconds. But Barrett came on strong later in the season last year, defeating Rome in the 3200 meter run at districts and at states. While the battle between Barrett and Rome never developed, the battle of the two Doms from Dallas did. Dom DeLuca, a senior,

SCRANTON The uniforms were the same, but it became evident Saturday afternoon this version of Wyoming Area football has a way to go to match last years championship team. Quite a way. Scranton Prep scored via offense, defense and special teams in routing the Warriors 35-7 at Scranton Memorial Stadium. The new-look Warriors werent expected to resemble the 2012 squad that won the WVC Division 2A-A and District 2 Class 2A championships. But the heavy losses to graduation were very apparent and could be tougher to overcome than foreseen. The 28-point margin of defeat was the biggest Wyoming Area had suffered since losing 40-19 to Pittston Area to end the 2009 season. The Warriors finished 2-8 that year. The Warriors offense never crossed mideld on its own. The teams only score a 3-yard run by Jeff Skursky with 8:03 remaining came after Prep lost a fumble on its 13-yard
line. And after the 35-point mercy rule. Three Wyoming Area quarterbacks were 2-of-8 for 12 yards and had two interceptions returned for touchdowns. Wyoming Area special teams fumbled away a punt and had a punt blocked and recovered by Prep for a touchdown. And the returners had a few adventures elding Prep kickoffs. First game, we expect to deal with that, Wyoming Area coach Randy Spencer said. Especially with the inexperience we had coming in that I talked about in preseason. We have some athletic kids. We have to cut our teeth and get some on-eld experience. Unfortunately, some of these lessons have to be learned the hard way. And on top of all that, starting running back/ linebacker Marty Michaels suffered a right knee injury late in the second quarter. Wyoming Area did make a goal-line stand after Prep moved to the Warriors 1-yard line following the fumbled punt. But the second time Wyoming Area took possession trouble struck. Prep defensive back
Pat Timlin cut in front of a pass, returning it 27 yards for a touchdown on the rst play of the second quarter. The Warriors went backward on their next drive and were forced to punt. Preps Cory Kopicki broke through the line to block the punt and teammate Justin Belardi recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. After Preps offense scored twice, the defense found the end zone again on a 46-yard interception return by Kevin Sompel at 3:25 of the third. There are a lot of things that have to go right in the passing game, Spencer said. Our focus is running the ball and in situations taking our shots with playaction game passing. Again, we have to work on it.

NEW YORK Ivan Nova threw a three-hitter for his rst career shutout and Robinson Cano supplied the offense as the New York Yankees edged Baltimore 2-0 Saturday for their second straight win over the Orioles.

DETROIT Omar Infante homered twice and drove in ve runs to power Detroit to its third consecutive win. The Tigers stretched their lead in the AL Central to 8 games over the second-place Indians despite playing without slugger Miguel Cabrera, who was sidelined by irritation of the abdominal area. The team says the reigning AL MVP is day to day. Infante hit a three-run homer in the second and a two-run shot in the sixth for Detroit, which has won seven in a row against Cleveland to improve to 15-3 against the Indians this year.

Kendrys Morales, Nick Franklin and Dustin Ackley each drove in a run for the Mariners, who had lost six in a row before the series against the major league-worst Astros. They will have Hisashi Iwakuma on the mound when they go for a series sweep. Saunders (11-13) yielded an unearned run and six hits over 5 1-3 innings in his rst win since Aug. 4 at Baltimore. The left-hander was 0-3 with an 8.31 ERA in his previous four starts. Matt Dominguez and Brandon Barnes had two hits apiece for Houston (44-91), which appears to be headed for its third straight 100-loss season. Dallas Keuchel (5-8) gave up three runs all in the rst and four hits in seven innings.
NATIONAL LEAGUE Cubs 4, Phillies 3
PITTSBURGH A.J. Burnett scattered four hits over seven innings, Russell Martin hit a three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals to regain sole possession of the NL Central lead. Neil Walker added three hits for the Pirates, who improved to 79-56 and moved within three victories of their rst winning season since 1992. Burnett (7-9) gave up one run while striking out six and walking one. He received plenty of offensive help only hours after Pittsburgh acquired rst baseman Justin Morneau from the Minnesota Twins.

WASHINGTON Zack Wheeler pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the New York Mets piled up a seasonhigh 17 hits in routing the Washington Nationals. Eric Young Jr., Daniel Murphy, Josh Satin and Juan Lagares had three hits apiece for New York, which scored 11 runs for the second time in three days and won its third straight. The news wasnt all good for the injury-riddled Mets, though. First baseman Ike Davis left with a strained muscle on his right side after hitting a sacrice y in the third.

PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Pirates are all-in for the franchises pursuit of its rst playoff appearance in 21 years. Pittsburgh traded for longtime Minnesota Twins rst baseman Justin Morneau on Saturday, hoping the four-time All Star can give the Pirates
middling offense a needed jolt heading into the nal month of the season. The Twins obtained outelder Alex Presley and either a player to be named or cash after Pittsburgh made its second major move in ve days. Pittsburgh sent a pair of minor leaguers to the New York Mets on Tuesday in exchange for outelder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck.
Weve got more depth, weve got more options than we had four days ago, Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. Were a better team. Were a stronger team. Pittsburgh entered Saturday tied with St. Louis atop the NL Central with 29 games remaining. The Pirates have been in contention all season thanks in large part to a
pitching staff currently second in the majors with a 3.17 ERA. Morneaus presence should make an immediate impact on an offense that ranks 10th in the NL in runs. The 32-year-old Morneau hit .259 with 17 homers and 74 RBIs this season for Minnesota and is nishing off a redhot month in which he smacked nine home runs.

RIO DE JANEIRO IOC inspectors are sure to deliver a clear message to organizers of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics when they arrive for a two-day visit: end delays and speed up. For their part, Rio ofcials are expected to promise that preparations are on course after a late start. Privately, theyll try to soothe concerns about a slowdown in landing local sponsorships, worries over hotel space and transportation and recent protests over big spending on major sports events. International Olympic
Committee inspectors, led by former hurdles champion Nawal El Moutawakel, will be at work Sunday and Monday. During the last visit six months ago, IOC executive director Gilbert Felli said: We dont have any yellow card to send to Rio. Any such warning this time would be a reminder of the 2004 Olympics in Athens when then IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch issued his famous yellow card reprimand to Greek organizers. At least two members of the coordination commission Richard Carrion and former Olympic goldmedal swimmer Alex Popov have said things need to
move quicker. There are games that are better prepared and games that give us a little more trouble, Carrion said. These games are still three years away and sure to stay off the radar until Brazil hosts soccers World Cup next year, giving local organizers room to maneuver. This is a challenging moment for South Americas largest country, which is trying to organize two mega-events and is facing pushback from citizens who question spending so much on sports events, particularly in a country with vast inequality, high prices and a slowing economy. Brazil is spending about
$13.3 billion of largely public money on the World Cup. Olympic organizers are expected to announce their budgets in a few months, but public spending could be similar to that of the World Cup or higher. Leo Gryner, chief operating ofcer of the Rio games, acknowledged in a recent interview with The Associated Press that organizers were six to eight months late in starting to build venues. Gryner said that $700 million in public money may be needed to balance the operating budget. This is the budget to run the games themselves and is expected to be as much as $4 billion when its announced. He
attributed any shortfall to ination, the sluggish economy and a struggle to sell local sponsorships. Gryner said the capital budget a mix of public and private money aimed at building supporting infrastructure for the Olympics could be 35 percent above the $11.6 billion listed in the original bid. Sebastian Coe, who headed the 2012 London Olympics, is expected to be in Rio this year to brief ofcials about what to expect the next two years.
I still instinctively believe Rio will be a really good games, Coe said. They will be different. Theres a different level of expectation. With every Olympics, they always get there. Some are probably a little bit harder. The IOC will privately tell you some of those journeys are a little bit tougher. Gryner singled out accommodations as a top priority. We will have as many rooms as we need, he said. Soaring hotel prices are already a problem for the
World Cup. The Brazilian government and the justice ministry reportedly are looking into reports that some hotels are gouging and have raised rates by 500 percent. There are also doubts about Brazils airports. The facilities in Sao Paulo and Rio are rated among the hemispheres worst, which inspectors have surely noticed traveling through the country. Airports could also face problems accommodating a surge in private jets used by many visitors to the World Cup and Olympics.
Northwest running back Austin Mazonkey run through the Holy Redeemer line during the season opener for both teams Saturday night. A weather delay of more than an hour kept the teams off the field until after 11 p.m. Saturday. The delay was called with 9:56 remaining in the fourth quarter and Northwest leading Holy Redeemer 28-24. For a full recap of the game, see Mondays Times Leader.

A longer kayak, he said, is faster while the shorter versions turn easier. Fishing kayaks have plenty of storage thanks to a tank well a place that can easily accommodate a milk crate and several hatches for interior room. Oast stores extra shing rods inside the hull and installed rod holders on the outside of his craft. The cost for a heavy duty shing kayak is approximately $1,000, Oast said, but plenty of models are available in the $500 to $600 range. Most shing kayaks weigh between 55 and 70 pounds, and can support at least 350 pounds. Oast believes the relatively

Since this feature kicked off last October, readers have sent in pictures of mammals, birds and even bugs. About the only thing we havent featured are reptiles. Until now. With summer winding down, now is the perfect time to run a few snake photos sent in by readers. Each set of images are perfect examples of how voracious a snakes appetite is. The photos of the Eastern milk snake were sent in by Bob Stiff. He shot them in Jackson Township in the summer of 2009, and they are amazing images of the milk snake attempting to swallow a garter snake of equal size. Note the unhinged jaw in the rst photo and the vivid color pattern of the milk snake, evidence that it had recently shed its skin. Unfortunately, Stiff reports that both snakes perished during the ordeal as the garter snake was simply too big for the milk snake to consume. Eastern hognose snakes love to feast on frogs and toads, as does this one photographed by Leonard Reggie, who found the snake on his driveway in Kingston Township on July 13. The enormous toad simply looks too big for the hognose to swallow, and Reggie doesnt know if the snake was successful. Considering the toad is at least three times the size of the snakes head, it doesnt seem possible. But the hognose is an expert at devouring a toad, so I wouldnt bet against it. The nonvenomous hognose isnt common and is a species of special concern in Pennsylvania. And while were on the subject of predators and prey, Dave Powell sent this photo of a praying mantis feasting on another insect. Notice how it uses the spines on its front legs to hold the insect with a vice-like grip. Powell came upon the mantis eating its meal in his Plains Township backyard last summer.

A lot of shore sherman always felt limited because there are so many areas in the water they cant cast to. They may have always wanted a boat, but not the expense. A shing kayak is a good solution. Aside from being easy to transport and launch, Oast is quick to list other advantages with a shing kayak. Theyre virtually indestructible, he said, allowing an angler to slide to logs and between stumps to get to where the bass are.

With a kayak you go go right over them and hit the holes that are way back in, while the powerboats are limited to the edges, Oast said. Perhaps the biggest advantage with a kayak is they dont produce any noise, or wake, so sh are less likely to be spooked. That goes for other wildlife as well. Its so quiet that no one knows youre out there, Oast said. This summer I was shing the river in Bloomsburg and I paddled to within 15 feet of an immature bald eagle. Theres no way I couldve pulled that off John Oast with a nice bass he caught on the Susquehanna River. Oast is able to arrange his gear lures boxes, extra rods, so everything is within arms reach on the kayak. with a power boat.
NEW YORK Trying to extend his stay at the U.S. Open, John Isner smacked a return winner, then pointed his right index nger toward the Louis Armstrong Stadium stands and circled his arm overhead, riling up the fans. Two points later, sprinting so far he nearly reached the seats, Isner hit a forehand that closed a point, punched the air and then shook his sts, doing his best Jimmy Connors imitation. Minutes after that, Isner cupped his hand to his ear, basking in the chants of U-S-A! U-S-A! The highest-ranked American man nally heard the adulation hed been hoping for a couple of days earlier, when he lamented that so many spectators cheered so vociferously for his French opponent.

seeded Isner failed to do in return Saturday was deliver a victory in the third round at Flushing Meadows, meaning only one U.S. man remains of the 15 in the eld. Isner even blamed those exuberant attempts to stir the crowd for his struggles down the stretch of a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (5) loss to 22nd-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany. The other American man in action Saturday,20-
year-old Jack Sock, was beaten 3-6, 7-6 (1), 6-1, 6-2 by No. 18 Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia. So the last man from the United States left is Tim Smyczek, a 25-yearold from Milwaukee who got into the main draw thanks to a wild-card invitation from the U.S. Tennis Association and plays 43rdranked Marcel Granollers of Spain in the third round Sunday. If Smyczek loses a distinct possibility,
considering hes ranked 109th and never before even made it past the second round at Grand Slam tournament it will be the rst time with zero U.S. men in the round of 16 at the countrys tennis championship, which was rst played in 1881. A loss by Smyczek also would make 2013 the rst season with no Americans in the second week of any of the four major tournaments. Even if Smyczek wins, it still would be only the second time there was just one American in the fourth round at the U.S. Open. The other? In 2009, when Isner was the lone one in the second week. All part of the recent decline of American mens tennis. At Wimbledon this year, for example, no men from the United States even got to the third round. That hadnt happened since 1912, when no Americans entered the tournament.

Elway said about the players who didnt make it. We just dont have enough slots for everybody. Every coach calls this the cruelest day of the year in pro football even the Giants Tom Coughlin, whose birthday was Saturday. But Sunday might prove worse as some bottom-rung players who barely had the chance to celebrate making the team get discharged in favor of
waiver-wire pickups. Teams can also ll their eight-man practice squads Sunday. This could be it for Tebow.

Deer
From page 13C time with family and friends. The uncertainty of not knowing whats in the next eld until the beam from a spotlight illuminates the night provides a level of excitement. Sure, trail cameras may make spotlighting unnecessary when it comes to scouting for deer, but there is yet another method that trumps them both. Walking. Despite what technological aids are out there cameras, lights, etc. nothing beats simply lacing up a pair of boots and hitting the woods to scout for the fall deer seasons. While its one thing to see trail cameras overtake spotlighting in terms of popularity, it would be a shame to see them do the same to scouting for deer by actually walking. While the cameras are effective, they will never replace a simple walk in the woods to see whats out there. A scouting trip through your favorite hunting area is the best way to determine travel patterns, bedding areas, rut activity and everything else deer are doing. And like trail cameras and spotlighting, walking yields some exciting nds. I always get a rush when I nd an enormous buck rub in the area I hunt. Even better is an up close encounter with a monster buck. A walk in the woods has been, and always will be the best scouting technique. But that doesnt mean I wont have a few trail cameras keeping an eye on things as well.

This is the rst time that weve entered the fall hunting seasons knowing that we have chronic wasting disease inside Pennsylvania, Game Commission executive director Carl G. Roe said. But that doesnt mean weve given up the ght to slow the diseases spread or make its impacts on our deer herd as minimal as possible. High-risk parts are classied as such for a reason, he said. And while we wish Pennsylvanians luck in all of their out-of-state hunts, we also ask them to make sure theyre following the rules and bringing back home with them only the parts theyre allowed. Hunters who are successful in those areas from which the importation of high-risk parts into Pennsylvania is banned are allowed to import meat from any deer, elk, moose, mule deer or caribou, so long as the backbone is not present. Successful hunters also are allowed to bring back cleaned skull plates with attached antlers, if no visible brain or spinal cord tissue is present; tanned hide or raw hide with no visible brain or spinal cord tissue present; capes, if no visible brain or spinal cord tissue is present; upper canine teeth, if no root structure or other soft tissue is present; and nished taxidermy mounts. Roe urged hunters heading to a state with a history of CWD to become familiar with that states wildlife regulations and guidelines for the transportation of harvested game animals. Pennsylvania detected its rst case of chronic wasting disease last year in a captive deer kept at an Adams County facility, and another deer that had lived in the same pen later tested positive for the disease. Since that time, the disease was detected in three free-ranging deer harvested by hunters in Bedford and Blair counties during the 2012 rearms deer season. In response to those cases, the Game Commission has outlined two Disease Management Areas (DMAs) totaling about 1,500 square miles, and special rules regarding deer hunting, the feeding of wildlife and the transport of high-risk deer parts apply within those areas. Maps of the DMAs are available at the Game Commissions website and are shown on pages 53 and 54 of the 201314 Pennsylvania Hunting and Trapping Digest, which is presented to each Pennsylvania license buyer. The exact rules deer hunters within those areas will need to follow are being nalized and will be announced soon by the Game Commission. However, those who live in a DMA and are successful in out-of-state hunts should know that like other Pennsylvanians hunting out-of-state they are permitted to bring low-risk deer parts back home with them. Roe said hunters who harvest a deer, elk or moose in a state or province where CWD is known to exist should follow instructions from that states wildlife agency on how and where to submit the appropriate samples to have their animal tested. If, after returning to Pennsylvania, a hunter is notied that his or her game tested positive for CWD, the hunter is encouraged to immediately contact the Game Commission region ofce that serves the county in which they reside for disposal recommendations and assistance.

It was a contract that Amazon.coms business-technology group wasnt supposed to get. The CIA, an organization whose data is among the most protected in the world, asked for bids last year on a contract to provide the agency Webbased tech infrastructure. Longtime government contractors, among them IBM, seemed likely winners. So when Amazon Web Services, or AWS, won the $600 million contract in January, IBM cried foul. Big Blue argued that the agency did not properly evaluate IBMs bid, and the Government Accountability Ofce, which reviewed the contract, agreed in part. Now, Amazon is bidding again for the contract while also challenging in federal court the CIAs ability to reopen the bidding. Both winning the contract and sparking IBMs ire are coming-of-age moments for AWS. The division, which Amazon launched in 2006, rents data storage and computer-server time to corporations and agencies to run core business processes. AWS generates roughly $3 billion in annual revenue, according to analyst estimates, by offering services to businesses at a fraction of what it would cost if those businesses owned and ran their own computers. And its emerged as the leader in providing Web-based infrastructure technology to customers, a business thats come to be known as cloud computing. According to a new report from research rm Gartner, AWS is the overwhelming market share leader, with more than ve times the combined computational capacity of the next 14 rivals Gartner follows. But handling mission-critical operations and ultra-secure data isnt where AWS initially made hay. Some competitors and even some corporate tech buyers still dismiss AWS as technology provided by an online bookseller, suggesting its not capable of handling the demands essential to running government agencies and companies in the business of managing sensitive data. So while there are examples of AWS running mission-critical operations, a contract from the CIA could put remaining questions to rest. Thats why the contract is so important to Amazon. If the nations top spy agency is willing to rely on AWS to secure its network, surely other customers can rely on its technology as well. Its a lighthouse win, said James Staten, an analyst with Forrester Research. It will say to other clients that this is safe. IBMs challenge is certainly about angling for the lucrative government contract. But its also about slowing AWSs See AMAzON | 2D
San Francisco police officer Gregory Pak, left, talks Navy reservist and Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran John Fornbacher, of Pleasant Hill, Calif., during the San Francisco/alameda Point Military Career Expo aboard the USS Hornet aircraft carrier in alameda, Calif., last month.

Unlike many veterans who leave military service with no idea where their next job is coming from, Star Cazador had it all gured out what she would do, where she would do it, and how much she would like it. Taking a cue from fellow Marines who sought careers in law enforcement after discharge, Cazador applied to the Santa Clara County (Calif.) Sheriffs Ofce. It seemed to her like a natural transition. There is a huge comfort level, said Cazador, who served in the Marines from 2005 to 2009 and is now a Santa Clara County sheriffs deputy. In the academy, my best friends were other prior military. We knew exactly how each others brains worked. We could just look at each other. We didnt even have to communicate. Although many veterans feel that law enforcement is a natural t, some former soldiers resent being typecast. Others say the profession is the least suitable career choice for veterans who are still working out emotional issues from deployments. And some veterans consider a career in law enforcement because they consider it one of the few viable options in a challenging job market. The Bureau of Labor Statistics doesnt keep precise statistics on the number of veterans employed in law enforcement, instead lumping together the classication with wardens, school crossing guards and other security jobs. But the agency reports the unemployment rate for post-Sept. 11, 2001, veterans was 7.7 percent in July, up from 7.2 percent in June. Thats 0.3 percent higher than the unemployment rate for the civilian labor force. Veterans face challenges that civilians do not. Some are unsure how to express to potential employers how skills learned in the military translate to the civilian job market. Some return with post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury and wonder if those conditions will be a deal-breaker

if they reveal them when interviewing for a job. So the notion of taking military skills to a civilian agency that has a similar structure can be appealing. And thats a two-way street. In the San Francisco Bay Area, for example, several job fairs for veterans have been held in the past few months. They all seem to feature multiple law enforcement agencies looking to hire. The veterans were trying to reach out to, they have the set of skills, the discipline and the training where they would easily transition from the military to civilian law enforcement, said San Francisco police Ofcer Gregory Pak, who manned an information table at a Hiring Our Heroes job fair in Walnut Creek, Calif., in April, and on the USS Hornet in Alameda, Calif., in August. Its a win-win. For Yefry Disla, 38, who is preparing for civilian life after spending four years in the Marines and 15 years in the Army, its more like a
marriage of convenience. (Working as) a cop would be my fallback if I cant do something else, said Disla, who has served three deployments of 10 months or longer to Iraq and Afghanistan, simply because I was an infantryman and those are my skills. Anything you want to see in a soldier, you want to see in a policeman. Others arent so sure the gun connection is a logical connection. Army veteran Mike Magpusao works for Project Hired, a San Jose, Calif.-based nonprot that helps nd employment for people with disabilities including combat veterans. I could see how somebody would think that would be an easy transition, he said at a recent jobs fair in Concord, Calif. Its familiar. I work with guns, I know how to use them, why not get a job that uses the same equipment? But Ive spoken with vets. And, myself, I think Ive experienced enough of that, so I wouldnt want to relive that type of experience. And Magpusao said some veterans resent being typecast. A lot of them get out, theyre intelligent, they use the G.I. Bill to get a degree, he said. Its like, I can do more than pull a trigger. Jason Deitch, an Army Ranger who served multiple deployments to Africa and the Middle East, has a concern beyond familiarity or pride. Im not saying there arent lots of vets out there who wouldnt be extraordinarily good cops, said Deitch, a tactical consultant to police forces when he rst got out of the military and who now works as a veterans rights advocate in Contra Costa County, Calif. (But) many people who have gone to combat for any amount of time have got some stuff that they need to work on. Deitch said there is no logical link between the two professions, and he urges caution.

People in the working world love to pat themselves on the back for a job well done, even if it turns out the job isnt nished. Its a part of the workplace mind-set we see a problem, we address the problem, we say hooray! and we move on, often prematurely. Thats what has happened with diversity in America. There have been great strides in diversifying workplaces the glossy corporate photographs show inspiring mixes of races and genders, leading some to conclude: We did it. We diversied our workforce. But then your eyes move up the corporate ladder, and the rich diversity fades into a lot of white men. According to the Alliance for Board Diversity, white men lled more than 70 percent of the seats on the boards of Fortune 500 companies between rex 2010 and 2012. And Huppke DiversityInc Best Contributing Practices in June talColumnist lied minority CEOs at Fortune 500 companies: six black, eight Asian, seven Latino and 21 female. Weve been talking about diversity for 50 years, yet the progress in the form of representation has not changed very much, said Tyronne Stoudemire, senior diversity consultant at Mercer, a global human resource and nancial services consulting rm. We admit the issue, we talk about the issue, but the work thats behind it people arent willing to roll their sleeves up and really get involved. Were unconsciously incompetent. He gave a wonderful description of the problem. Imagine corporate America as a glass of white milk. You pour in chocolate syrup, but unless you mix it up, that syrup settles at the bottom and everything tastes the same. Youve got to mix it up, he said. Organizations are diverse, but the diversity stays at the bottom. Youre not promoting; youre not advancing. Frank Dobbin, a professor of sociology at Harvard University who has studied diversity programs extensively, agreed with Stoudemires assessment. We interview a lot of HR managers and top managers at rms, and we ask them how theyre doing on diversity, and they say, Oh, good, 40 percent of our staff is female or minority, Dobbin said. Then we ask how promotion up the ranks is going, and theyll almost uniformly say, Terrible. Dobbins research has found that many diversity programs dont have any effect at all or backre at a cost of time and money. He highlighted two typical approaches. One is to teach managers about their own bias, an idea most people tend to resist and one that implies that managers are to blame for a lack of diversity. The other is to control managers by implementing strict rules regarding hiring and promotion. Dobbin said managers prefer to solve problems on their own rather than having to conform to specic guidelines. It doesnt work to blame managers See HUPPkE | 2D

From page 1D and tell them theyre biased or try to control them through bureaucratic rules, he said. That doesnt make them happy, and in the end its not effective. Stoudemire offered his timeline of how the business world has handled diversity. From 1964 to 1988, the focus was mainly on compliance with anti-discrimination laws. From 1989 to 1995, there was a shift to things such as tolerance and sensitivity training. That rarely led anywhere, he said: Ill tolerate you, but at the end of the day, I just want you to go away. From 1996 to the present, more of a business case has been made for diversity. Companies have realized not only that diversity is the right thing to do from a fairness standpoint; its also good for business, because diversity of workers brings a diversity of ideas. But clearly, were still stumbling. Dobbin said his research has identied some of the more effective ways to promote diversity up the ranks. One of the best, he said, is the formation of a diversity task force. (The word task force can make any workers skin crawl, but hear him out.) They work very well because they give the job to the managers, Dobbin said. If Im the CEO and I say, I need six department heads to form a diversity task force that will meet once a month for a year and I want to see some results, there will be results. That challenge will lead to managers who better understand and appreciate diversity and will likely knock down some internal barriers in the process. Another effective program involves mentoring, Dobbin said. Pairing up senior executives with management aspirants of all races and genders works because the senior people will want their younger counterparts to succeed. And again, this breaks down barriers that exist not only between people of different races or genders, but also between people at different levels of the company. This is a tough issue, as evidenced by the fact that we havent gured it out. But its hugely important. Diverse workplaces are more productive, more innovative and better reect the clients they serve. Its something companies must keep pressing on, if not for pragmatic reasons then certainly as a matter of fairness. People are looking for this big, enormous aha moment, Stoudemire said. But it really is about treating people fairly, with dignity and respect, the basic things our mother and father taught us. Youre bringing a diverse array of people to the tree with the treehouse. Why not show them the ladder up?

amazon
From page 1D puting that once was the domain of a handful of companies, including IBM, that sold, rather than rented, the hardware and software that demanding customers needed. IBM went out of its way to cite its track record as it reacted to Amazons suit, which seeks to block the rebidding of the contract. Unlike Amazon, IBM has a long history of delivering successful transformational projects like this for the U.S. government, IBM spokesman Clint Roswell said. IBM has been delivering trusted and secure cloud services to business and government clients for many years and developed virtualization technologies, which have led to cloud computing. To be clear, the contract is not exactly the type every customer will get from the company. AWS typically offers its Web-based services in whats known as a public cloud. Thats jargon for services that run on computer servers Amazon owns, delivered securely over the Internet in much the same way that electricity or water is delivered to homes. But the CIA deal calls for Amazon to manage a private data center owned by the agency. Theres no way that the top spy agency would let that data ow over the Web in the same way AWS does for clients such as Airbnb, when it books rooms for vacationers, or Netix, when it streams videos to customers. The CIA needs a level of security that goes well beyond what AWS typically provides. While neither the agency

latory and security requirements, and GovCloud, an isolated operation that allows U.S. government agencies to use cloud computing while still meeting compliance requirements. For AWS, which wanted both the huge CIA contract and the validation of its services, shifting a bit on strategy was a no-brainer. And that shift may mean that AWS will consider privatecloud deals going forward. It says if youre willing to spend $600 million, Amazon is willing to play ball, Gartners Lydia Leong said. But a potential customer might be able to spend less and still get them to compete for a private-cloud contract. The IBM challenge to the contract threatens to undermine AWS bid to take on traditional suppliers of technology to businesses. Without offering details, IBM contended that AWS winning the contract was based on inaccu-
racies in the governments assessment of its proposal. The GAO agreed, which led to new bids that were due Aug. 16. While Amazon is participating in the rebidding, it argues in its July suit against the government to block the process that IBMs claims were untimely and meritless. In that suit, made public last week, Amazon said IBM wouldnt be able to provide the type of cloud computing the CIA wants. And Amazon said the GAOs suggestion to reopen the bidding was arbitrary and capricious and violates federal contracting law. The stakes are particularly high for AWS. Just as winning the contract was a point of validation for a service, losing a contract it had once won could undermine the perception that its services are capable enough for the most demanding customers.
Veterans
From page 1D or not that is a good idea, he said. Youre going to continue to expose yourself to violence, tension, stress, anxiety. You come back and become a police ofcer, the potential for retraumatizing is very high. Theres a screening process for that, said Jennifer Bice, a Santa Clara County sheriffs deputy. Part of the background process is the psychological testing, Bice said. (Veterans) have heard that its an automatic disqualier, and its not. Its a case-by-case basis. Weve all experienced bad things in our lives and sometimes that happens to us personally without even going to war. So it really depends on the individual. The International Association of Chiefs of Police was concerned enough about transitional obstacles veterans might face if they pursued a career in law enforcement that three years ago it published guidebooks for veterans and any agencies that might consider hiring them. But those concerns didnt stop Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), an ofce of the Department of Justice, from offering 220 cities $114.6 million in incentive grants to hire post-Sept. 11 veterans to ll 800 law enforcement positions. The benets that I could see veterans bringing to a police force would be great, Deitch said. You are not going to nd better leaders. On the other hand, I care about individual people.

RISING RATES Expectations are that there will be a steep decline in mortgage refinancing activity as interest rates climb. Mortgage rates have risen more than a full percentage point since May when Chairman Ben Bernanke first signaled that the Federal Reserve might reduce its bond purchases later this year. The purchases have helped keep long-term interest rates low. The Mortgage Bankers Association expects that total refinance volume will drop from $673 billion in the first half of this year to $294 billion in the second half, according to a recent report from Stern Agee.

BOND FLIGHT A rise in rates has led to losses for many bond mutual funds, and investors are continuing to pull their money. When interest rates rise, bond prices decline because investors can purchase newly issued bonds paying higher interest than those issued previously. That can lead to smaller investment returns or even losses for diversified bond fund shareholders, and for investors in individual bonds who dont hold them until they mature.

THE JOB SEARCH The latest report on unemployment is due on Friday. Although unemployment remains elevated, the job search process continues to change. The online networking site, LinkedIn, has had a definite impact, according to a recent survey of executive search consultants by William Blair, the Chicago-based asset management firm. In its latest quarterly survey, a larger percentage of search firms reported that their clients were conducting more of their placement searches internally. The number reached 46 percent, up from 34 percent in the third-quarter of last year.

Rich Feldstein is a partner at Nigro Karlin Segal & Feldstein, a business management firm with offices in Los Angeles and New York. It caters to rock stars, actors, athletes, executives and other wealthy individuals. He says that when youre stitching together a financial plan, it helps to assume the worst. A lot of your clients are has-beens by the time theyre 30. So working with them must be different from working with regular Joes, right? I would say its a matter of helping them get their arms around reality. The ballplayers typically start being admired when theyre 11, 12, 14 years old, so theyre brought up in a false world of Im invulnerable and Im the greatest. But we have to assume the worst. And there are very few that go on to have productive careers as coaches or announcers. What do they do when they cant play ball? Its very difficult to make the transition. Even though many pro basketball players are college grads, they were never career focused. If theyre at all entrepreneurial, we try to introduce them to people that can actually run a business, but who need financing. We try to stay away from restaurants, though. The failure rate in restaurants is extraordinarily high. So how do you want them to think about money? This comes from one of my favorite investment advisers, Ric Kayne at Kayne Anderson in Los Angeles. There are basically two types of investments. There are cows, where you milk the cows every day and you sell the milk and put the money in your pocket. Thats like the interest on a bond or dividend on a stock. You want to have lots of cows. Now if you want to have a sliver of pigs, a pig is an investment that you have to continuously feed and love and take care of, and you hope that youll sell it at a price greater than what you have invested. Your first pig is typically owning a home. Do you find that celebrities are more susceptible to being scammed? I think they are approached regularly. But most of my clients are really good about saying, Dont discuss it with me, call my business manager. I imagine the divorces get pretty dicey. Indeed. You also have celebrity goodwill is your brand really worth something beyond your services? It could be your name, copyrights on the songs youve written, endorsement deals where you havent yet received the payment. We have a forensics department that would raise all these issues with the divorce counsel. Interviewed by Christina Rexrode. Answers edited for content and clarity.

Short-Term Matters
You probably know to sock away money for retirement. But as you think about the long run, dont forget the short run. Without sufficient short-term savings, you may end up wiped out, or even in bankruptcy. In order to deal with financial emergencies (imagine a medical crisis or perhaps a job loss) and to pay for known upcoming expenses (such as vacations, new cars and weddings), you have two main choices: (1) Save up and earn interest, or (2) Borrow the money (often via a credit card) and pay interest (at a much higher rate). The better choice should be clear. So how much should you save? It depends. Generally, aim to have at least three to six months of living expenses in an emergency fund. If you work in a field where its easy to find work, three months worth may be enough. If youre a typewriter repairman supporting five kids, three elderly parents and six large dogs, you may want to aim for
a years worth of expenses. Beyond your emergency fund, any funds youll need within three to five years (or longer, to be more conservative) shouldnt be in stocks. Stocks can be terrific over long periods, but in the short run, anything can happen just remember the 2008 stock market swoon. You dont want a stock market crash occurring just before you have to make a big college tuition payment. Short-term savings belong in instruments such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), short- to mid-term government and corporate bonds, and bond mutual funds. Your return will vary, of course, but right now some money market accounts are paying close to 1 percent. CD rates depend on how long youre willing to tie up your money and also offer meager interest rates these days, but our low interest rate environment wont last forever. Corporate bonds tend to pay more than CDs or Treasury bonds, depending on the risk of the bond. Learn more about your short-term savings options at fool.com/savings and bankrate.com.
My Dumbest Investment
Execution Counts
One investment that looked like it would be my dumbest was in a company with promising technology that developed renewable and synthetic fuels. It could convert feedstock into synthetic diesel and jet fuel, for example. It was doing business with the military and seemed quite promising, but had trouble getting to full production capacity and producing on a large scale. Worst of all, it conducted a 1-for-10 reverse split of its stock in order to prop up its price and not get delisted by the Nasdaq Stock Market. The stock has rebounded lately, though, so my pain has eased. L.S., Virginia Beach, Va. The Fool Responds: This is a good reminder that while a company might have a terrific technology, product or service, it might not be a great investment if it cant win in the marketplace and deliver robust growth. This company was a penny stock for years and has been quite volatile. Its smart to be wary of stocks trading for less than $5 per share and ones with more promise than profits. Your company has considered putting itself on the market. Do you have an embarrassing lesson learned the hard way?

Study raises question of who will care for aging baby boomers
mean that aging boomers will have fewer friends and family members to take care of them as they get into their 80s, according to a study by AARP. In other words, even though boomers may be supporting their own elderly parents, the chances of someone being there for them are numerically diminished. The ratio of potential caregivers to boomers needing care will sink from 7.2-to-1 in 2010 to 2.9-to-1 by 2050, according to the study. In just 13 years, as the baby boomers age into their 80s, the decline in the caregiver support ratio will shift from a slow decline to a freefall, according to the study. That will exacerbate the emotional and nancial pressures weighing on families. More than two-thirds of Americans believe they will be able to rely on their famiEARLY

AUSTELL, Ga. Six Flags Over Georgia will soon break ground on what it describes as the largest expansion in the history of the theme park just west of Atlanta. Park ofcials on Thursday announced plans for Hurricane Harbor, a tropicallythemed water park. They say the water park will be in the area formerly occupied by the Southern Star Amphitheater. Ofcials say the water park will be free with park admission. Park ofcials say Hurricane Harbor will include an 800,000-gallon wave pool, a multi-slide tower, a children's area, and a single-slide tower combining two extreme slide thrills. Hurricane Harbor is set to open in late May 2014.

would the American people support it? they are justifiably war-weary and want no part of this conflict. And why should they? in three years, obama has done nothing to prepare the country for such a serious engagement. not one speech. no explanation of whats at stake.
be an attack with a strategic purpose, a sustained campaign aimed at changing the balance of forces by removing the Syrian regimes decisive military advantage air power. Of Assads 20 air bases, notes (retired) Gen. Jack Keane, six are primary. Attack them: the runways, the ghters, the helicopters, the fuel depots, the nearby command structures. Render them inoperable. We dont need to take down Syrias air defense system, as we did in Libya. To disable air power, we can use standoff systems cruise missiles red from ships offshore and from aircraft loaded with long-range smart munitions that need not overy Syrian territory. Depriving Assad of his total control of the air and making resupply from Iran and Russia far more difcult would alter the course of the war. That is a serious purpose. Would the American people support it? They are justiably warweary and want no part of this conict. And why should they? In three years, Obama has done nothing to prepare the country for such a serious engagement. Not one speech. No explanation of whats at stake. On the contrary. Last year Obama told us repeatedly that the tide of war is receding. This year, he grandly declared that the entire war on terror must end. If he wants Tomahawks to y, hed better have a good reason, tell it to the American people and get the support of their representatives in Congress, the way George W. Bush did for both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Its rather shameful that while the British prime minister has recalled Parliament to debate possible airstrikes, Obama has made not a gesture in that direction. If you are going to do this, Mr. President, do it constitutionally. And seriously. This is not about you and your conscience. Its about applying American power to do precisely what you now deny this is about helping Assad go, as you told the world he must. Otherwise, just send Assad a text message. You might incur a roaming charge, but its still cheaper than a three-day, highly telegraphed, perfectly useless demonstration strike.
The Pennsylvania State Education Association has sent outmisleading information to the members of the state house of representatives concerning House Bill 76, known as the property tax independence act. I will point out the false and misleading items in the letter, written by Veronica Biegen, a PSEA spokeswoman who sent it to Rep. Greg Vitali, D-Havertown, to try and sway him from sponsoring the bill. 1. HB76 is not awed as it has been examined by nancial people in both the house and senate and as a result the nal draft is now being sponsored by senators and rep. as the best way to provide relief for the middle income and lower income homeowners in Pennsylvania. It does not target working class families as it spreads the school tax burden more equitably and opens the door to economic progress. The small sales tax increase and the small income tax increase used to fund HB76 will be shared by all not a few of our citizens . In addition, people traveling thru our state will als0 contribute.
2. The present system of teacher unions pension funding has put us in debt to the tune of $400 million. This new system Will correct the decit. Our teachers have the second-highest wages in the nation. While 36,000 of our people are in foreclosure losing their homes. 3. We are 46th out of 50 states in job creation. The sales tax will only increase a little over one percent and the revenue it brings in will increase jobs by out-of-state business coming into Pennsylvania, and this will increase job s for the middle and lower income people. It is a false statement that discretionary income is paying the majority of the sales tax at the present 6 percent rate. Another PSEA omission is the fact of the unfunded school teachers pension of $400 million. This bill will stop the bleeding of our senior homeowners and others who are in foreclosure or very near to losing their homes because they cannot afford to pat the school property tax. 4. If HB76 is not passed our defecit will increase to beyond the $400 million, placing a greater burden on our homeowners and senior citizens who want to stay in their homes. HB76 is a win win for teachers and their retirement.
Please tell all our representatives to sponsor the bill and talk to their other representative to sponsor this HB76 and move forward to greater prosperity and jobs for the citizens of our state.

the police department and public works department, who both do a fantastic job all year round. Now their performance may suffer because Mayor Kuren is having a hissy t. The employees have to keep looking over their shoulders. Police and public workers unions - if you are harassed or your job is impeded on, le a lawsuit, and stick to it. Is a performance review ofcer needed? Absolutely not. There should be someone watching Tom Zurawski and Mayor Carl Kuren, such as all the residents of Wilkes-Barre Township. Young and old, or contact my father Joseph Naperkowski. Hell contact the proper authorities if need be. The townspeople of WilkesBarre Township have to keep the pressure on this administration. Its like a Three Stooges skit. In my opinion, Mayor Carl Kuren is a bully, but like all bullies, sooner or later they get theirs.

Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, will deprive millions of Americans of health care. Why are Republicans so scared of Obamacare? The Republican Party has attempted to brand the health care law a train wreck and tried to repeal it 40 times now. If the Republicans really believe that the law is inherently unworkable, why not sit back and let it fail. The truth is that Republicans are terried Obamacare could actually work The law has provided 13 million Americans with rebates from insurance companies that overcharged them and soon insurers will not be allowed to refuse service to those with pre-existing medical conditions. California and New York insurance exchanges already offer policies for the uninsured that are much cheaper than expected. Yet states that are dominated by Republican governors and legislatures are still trying to block millions of their residents from nding out about how to sign up for Obamacare, and are doing everything possible to frighten people away from this most excellent new health care program. This seems almost criminal.

A special thank you to our Medical Director Dr. Jeffrey Zero, Chris and Elaine Tino, Tony Delonti of The American Lung Association, Lisa Pupa, Marie Anzalone and Mary Dalpiaz for their hours of dedication to coordinate the camp schedule. Great appreciation goes out to Mack McElhinney, camp director and the YMCA staff for their patience and understanding shown to each child. We are fortunate to have Camp Kresge in our locality for all to enjoy. This year we were especially fortunate to have enough former campers return as counselors for all the cabins.

playing our countrys ag. The gentleman from WBRE stated they open the early morning news with the Pledge of Allegiance to the ag. Fine. Why not the other newscasts? A short time ago I happened to come in contact with a local newscaster. I mentioned to him my request to the station to
display the small ag on the news desk on patriotic observances. He said he didnt know anything about it. He then looked at the ag pin on my shirt and said he could not wear one while on the air. I asked why not? He immediately poked his nger at his chest, stating when hes presenting
the news I want the attention on me. He repeated it several times. I asked why? He replied, the ag pin is a distraction and I want the focus on me, me, me. Inside I was furious. I held my composure and said isnt the kerchief in your coat a distraction? How about wearing a ashy shirt and tie? Arent those
being worn for attention? No answer from him. I further brought to his attention while presenting the news a written caption is moving across the bottom of the screen. Isnt that a distraction and divided focus? These TV stations will openly display any and all kinds of violence, sexual-
ity, lth, horror, etc., but refuse to display or offer any encouragement to display our national symbol, the American ag. For me, personally, I consider their refusal nothing but shameful. Im a World War II veteran and proud ag waver.
