MONROE TWP. While communication has gone from almost none to full compliance with state standards, some around the troubled PVR Partners C h a p i n Dehydration Station in M o n r o e Township feel the way the public gets notied in a natural gas emergency leaves much to be desired. PVR operates the Chapin Dehydration Station in Monroe Township along state Route 309 and across from the Beaumont Inn. The station sits in Wyoming County about 100 feet from the Luzerne County border. Three incidents have raised the ire of residents and local ofcials: Last September the station experienced an emergency shutdown. Early one morning in November, the rural neighborhood was awakened to the earsplitting roar of venting gas. In June, steam was released after a valve failed. Reports are still pending for the most recent release; however, no property damage or injury was reported after the other incidents.

NEW YORK Major League Baseball told the New York Yankees that Alex Rodriguez will be suspended Monday for his links to a clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs but can play while he appeals the penalty, a person familiar with deliberations told

The Associated Press. The Yankees were not told the exact length of the suspension, though they under the impression it will be through the 2014 season, the person said Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statement was authorized. Rodriguez Rodriguez could get a shorter penalty if he agrees to give up the right to le a grievance and force the case

before an arbitrator, the person added. MLB planned an announcement for noon EDT today, a second person familiar with the deliberations said, also on condition of anonymity. Rodriguez is the most famous player linked to the clinic, and the Yankees expect him to be charged with interfering with MLBs investigation, resulting in a harsher penalty. In all, 14 players faced discipline following baseballs probe of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. Barring an agreement, Rodriguezs

appeal would be heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. Adding to the drama: The 38-year-old Rodriguez, a three-time AL MVP, was due to return to the major leagues tonight when the Yankees play at Chicago White Sox, his rst big league appearance since hip surgery in January.

2 Guns shoots to No. 1 at weekend box office

DERRIK J. LANG
AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES The actionpacked 2 Guns is No. 1 at the weekend box ofce. The Universal lm starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg pulled the trigger to capture the top spot with $27.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The picture is based on a graphic novel of the same name and features Washington as a DEA agent and Wahlberg as a Naval Intelligence ofcer who must team up for an undercover operation involving drug trafckers and the CIA. Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, said 2 Guns opened at the studios expectations and attributed the lms success to Icelandic director Baltasar

Kormakur and the rst-time pairing of Washington and Wahlberg. It was super casting, she said. There was remarkable chemistry. The two of them work so well together. You see it on screen. Baltasar really gave them the energy to be able to do what they did in this lm. Foxs Japan-set superhero ick The Wolverine starring Hugh Jackman as the clawed warrior scratched out the No. 2 spot with $21.7 million in its second weekend, bringing the Marvel icons total domestic haul to $95 million. Wolverine earned another $38.5 million in 67 international territories. The Smurfs 2 launched in the No. 3 position with $18.2 million. While Sonys kid-friendly computer-generated sequel based on the blue-hued cartoon franchise debuted below expectations

in North America, Smurfs 2 earned a bright $52.5 million in 43 international markets. It is one of those lms that seems to resonate on every continent, said Rory Bruer, Sonys president of worldwide distribution. We have about 36 big territories to go, including China. They love the blue ones. The Warner Bros. haunted house tale The Conjuring crossed the $100 million mark at No. 4 domestically after exorcising $13.7 million in its third weekend. Elsewhere at the box ofce, Sundance Film Festival favorite The Spectacular Now starring Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley earned $190,000 in four theaters in its debut weekend, while The Canyons made just $16,000 at two theaters, though Canyons distributor IFC Films said the erot-

said in a press release. In their research, Gulotta and Cellary use a cap with probes on it that records changes in brain blood ow. It uses Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to measure blood concentration in the brain and another instrument to measure blood ow in the external parts of the cortex of the brain where speech is registered. Tellis, Cellary and Gulotta are among the rst to study blood concentration and blood ow changes in the brain of normally uent speakers and of people who stutter using non evasive and inexpensive tools. It is complex stuff. It is not just putting a cap on, he said. In addition to being practical and efcient, Tellis said it has no side effects and can even be used on children. ment for people who stutter. Cellary and Gulotta have been doing the tests on normal speakers to establish a baseline so when tests are done on people who have speech and language disorders they have something to compare the results to. We do not know what normal is. Once we do, we can look at disorders, Tellis said. Tellis, along with Cellary and Gulotta, presented their research at the American Speech-Language Hearing Association conference in Atlanta, Ga. in November and at the Pennsylvania Speech-Language-Hearing Association in Hershey in April. We were the only ones in our eld who presented on this topic, Tellis said.

DALLAS TWP. With more than 3 million Americans stuttering, Misericordia Professor Glen Tellis and two student assistants are striving to learn more about the disorder.

CLEVELAND

TEHRAN, Iran Irans new president on Sunday called on the West to abandon the language of sanctions in dealing with the Islamic Republic over its contentious nuclear program, hoping to ease the economic pressures now grinding its people. President Hasan Rouhani spoke after being sworn in as president in an open session of parliament, capping a weekend that saw him endorsed by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Irans supreme leader. Rouhani, a moderate cleric who won a landslide victory in the June 14 presidential

elections, continued his call for dialogue with the West while asking foreign powers to respect Iran in its negotiations. If you seek a suitable answer, speak to Iran through the language of respect, not through the language of sanctions, the president said in a speech broadcast live by Iranian state television. He later added that any negotiations would require bilateral trust building, mutual respect and the lessening of hostilities. Iran is under United Nations sanctions as well as unilateral Western oil and banking sanctions over its refusal to halt uranium enrichment, a technology that can be used to power reactors producing electricity or build nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear pro-

gram is peaceful and geared towards generating electricity and producing radioisotopes to treat cancer patients. Rouhani replaces President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who struck a hard-line approach when dealing with the West and its sanctions over the nuclear program. The sanctions have hit the countrys vital oil exports and blocked transactions on international banking networks. Ination is running at more than 35 percent. The Iranian rial has lost more than two-thirds of its value against the U.S. dollar since late 2011. Many Iranians and foreign diplomats hope that Rouhani, a former top nuclear negotiator, can strike a more conciliatory tone in negotiations. Those hopes could be seen by the attendance at his swearing in, as the audience included

leaders and other representatives from more than 50 countries. It was the rst time since Irans 1979 Islamic Revolution that foreign dignitaries attended the swearingin ceremony of an Iranian president.

In Washington, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Rouhanis inauguration represented an opportunity for Iran to act quickly to resolve the international communitys deep concerns over Irans nuclear program.

A man condemned to death for fatally stabbing a neighbor during a Cleveland burglary was found hanged in his cell Sunday just days before his Wednesday execution. Billy Slagle, 44, was found at about 5 a.m. at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution south of Columbus and was declared dead within the hour, prison spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said. Slagle was sentenced in 1988 to die for the stabbing of Mari Anne Pope, who was killed while two young children she was watching were in the house. In a rare move, the prosecutor in Cleveland asked the Ohio Parole Board to spare Slagle. The parole board and Gov. John Kasich both rejected mercy for Slagle.

Rescuers try to get to man in ice cave

MOUNT HOOD, Ore.

A dozen rescuers armed with chain saws and other tools chipped away at tons of ice and snow Sunday to the recover the body of a 25-year-old snowboarder killed when an ice tunnel collapsed on Oregons Mount Hood. The snowboarder, Collin Backowski, of Colorado, was traveling with ve companions when the collapse hit Saturday afternoon. The others tried to dig him out but could not break through the ice and snow, which an ofcial described as being as thick as concrete. Rescuers quickly responded but halted efforts about 11 p.m. Saturday, then resumed early Sunday morning. The ice tunnel was on the White River Glacier, which begins about 6,000 feet up the south side of the mountain.

CAIRO

Egypts highest security body warned Sunday that the clock is ticking for a peaceful end to the standoff over sit-ins by supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, suggesting that authorities will break up the protests unless mediation efforts produce results soon. More than a month after the military overthrew Morsi, thousands of the Islamist leaders supporters remain camped out in two main crossroads in Cairo demanding his reinstatement. Egypts military-backed interim leadership has issued a string of warnings for them to disperse or security forces will move in, setting the stage for a potential showdown.

Warning issued over violence

LOS ANGELES Police arrested a man on suspicion of murder after a driver plowed into crowds at the Venice Beach boardwalk, a seemingly intentional hit-and-run that killed an Italian woman on her honeymoon and injured 11 others. Nathan Louis Campbell, 38, of Los Angeles, was arrested after he walked into a police station in neighboring Santa Monica about two hours after the incident and told police that he was involved. Campbell remained jailed Sunday on $1 million bail. Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese declined to discuss a motive but said there was no indication that the attack was a terrorist act or that anyone else was involved. Security video taken at the popular tourist site showed a man parking a

black car, stepping out and surveying the leisurely scene for several minutes before getting back into the vehicle and speeding into the crowd. Hundreds of people who had been walking or sitting at cafes raced to get out of the way before the vehicle sped out of sight. Witnesses reported a horrifying aftermath. People were stumbling around, blood dripping down their legs, looking confused not knowing what had happened, people screaming, said Louisa Hodge, who described blocks and blocks of people just strewn across the sidewalk. The Italian woman was identied as Alice Gruppioni, 32. Her family in Bologna told the Italian news agency LaPresse that she had been on her honeymoon after a July 20 wedding. Gruppioni worked as a manager for the family business Sira group, which makes radiators. Her father, Valerio

Gruppioni, runs the company and was formerly president of the Bologna soccer team, according to LaPresse. The family declined to speak to The Associated Press on Sunday. Authorities said another person was critically injured. Two others were taken to hospitals in serious condition and eight suffered less serious injuries. The crash was not far from where an elderly driver sped through an openair farmers market in Santa Monica in 2003, killing 10 people and injuring more than 70 others. Investigators said George Weller, who was 86 at the time, mistakenly stepped on the gas instead of the brake and then panicked. He was doing up to 60 mph when he plowed through the market. Weller was convicted of 10 counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and was sentenced to probation. It was not immediately clear how fast the car in Saturdays crash was going.

Instead of Hail to the Chief, President Barack Obama most likely heard strains of Happy Birthday this weekend. Obama, who turned 52 on Sunday, spent part of the day at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland. The White House said little about how he celebrated. The president played golf Saturday with friends from his days in Hawaii and Chicago. Some of them joined him at Camp David. Obama said nothing upon his afternoon return to the White House. His week ahead includes a trip Tuesday to Phoenix to discuss plans to help homeowners, an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and visit Wednesday with troops at Camp Pendleton in California. He also has a White House meeting Thursday with the prime minister of Greece.

WASHINGTON

San Diego mayor begins 2-week absence for therapy

The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO Therapists say admitting one has a problem is the rst step toward recovery. For San Diego Mayor Bob Filner that could be tricky. The rst-term mayor and former congressman starts two weeks of intensive therapy today while facing a sexual harassment lawsuit and calls for his resignation amid a urry of allegations that he groped women for years. Even as he undergoes treatment, Filner is set to be grilled by lawyers under oath this week in a lawsuit brought by his former communications director that claims he asked her to work without panties, told her he wanted to see her naked and dragged her around in a headlock while whispering in her ear. Neither Filner nor his

ofce has released details about his therapy or its location. Filner is picking up the tab for the treatment. F i l n e r s accusers, his onetime supporters and voters have e x p re s s e d Jackson skepticism that any two-week program is an appropriate remedy for what Filner himself has described as years of inappropriate behavior toward women. Longtime therapists also questioned how much progress could be made. It is pie-in-the-sky to think that in two weeks anyone could be a new man, said Helen Friedman, a St. Louis psychologist who has treated compulsive sexual behavior for 30 years, though she said it was a good start.

Success will depend on how far the 70-year-old Filner goes in acknowledging his problems, experts said. Typically in the rst few sessions you have to nd someone you really trust, said Lilli Friedland, a Beverly Hills psychologist who advises business executives on sexual harassment. Can I open up with all my dirty laundry, and is this person expert enough? It takes a number of sessions and visits to establish that trust. Filner announced his plans on July 26 to enter a behavioral counseling clinic to begin the process of addressing my behavior. He called it the rst step in a continuing program that would involve ongoing counseling. Nine women, including a university dean and a retired Navy rear admiral,

have gone public in the past month with accusations that Filner cornered them and made unwanted sexual advances that included groping and slobbering kisses. At least ve renewed their calls for Filner to resign after he pledged to begin therapy. One accuser, former Filner communications director Irene McCormack Jackson, has led a harassment lawsuit against him. Her lawyer, Filners attorney and city lawyers will depose him Friday. Filner, the citys rst Democratic leader in 20 years, will keep full powers while in therapy and said he would be briefed twice-daily on city business. Filner also has delegated signicant authority, including the ability to sign contracts, to an interim chief operating ofcer, Walt Ekard, a former county administrator.

JERUSALEM The Israeli Cabinet on Sunday expanded its list of West Bank settlements eligible for government subsidies, a decision that came just days after the resumption of long-frozen peace talks and drew quick Palestinian condemnation. Netanyahu The Cabinet approved a range of housing subsidies and loans for more than 600 Israeli communities deemed national priority areas, expanding an earlier list. The list includes poor towns in Israels outlying areas, but also dozens of settlements. The Palestinians want to establish a state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem lands Israel captured in 1967 and renewed talks are to draw Israels borders with such a state. Since 1967, Israel has built dozens of settlements on war-won land deemed illegal by most of the international community that are home to around 560,000 Israelis. Israels government hopes to encourage more people to move to the communities on the national priorities list. The last version of the list was approved in 2012. On Sunday, in another matter linked to the nations security, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem about Irans new president. The Israeli anti-settlement group Peace Now said the list approved Sunday increased the total number of settlements eligible for subsidies from 85 to 91, virtually all in areas Israel would likely have to evacuate to make way for a Palestinian state. Lior Amihai of Peace Now said three of the settlements added to the list had begun as rogue settlements that were established without formal government consent and then legalized retroactively. Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestinian negotiating team, said Sundays vote afrms Palestinian suspicions that Israel seeks the diplomatic shield of negotiations, without being willing to reach an actual partition deal. This is exactly what Israel wants, have a process for its own sake, and at the same time have a free hand to destroy the objective of the process, he said. This will have a destructive impact (on the talks), and it seems to me its up to the sponsors, the United States and the international community, to make Israel desist immediately. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said that in the case of settlements, any housing or infrastructure subsidies require additional government approval. Four Israeli ministers abstained from the Cabinet vote, citing the potential harm to negotiations.

Profit plunge unlikely Photos of Marilyn Monroes last to stop Shell plan for sitting for sale to highest bidder cracker plant in Pa.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

TIMOTHY PUKO

Shells plan to sell some North American oil and gas land likely would not affect the companys proposal to build a petrochemical plant in Beaver County, analysts said Friday. The chemical arm of Royal Dutch Shell plc may build the multibillion-dollar plant even if its parent company tries to sell out of Pennsylvania, analysts said. The complex, still under consideration, would turn ethane from Marcellus shale into plastics. Ethanes cheap price means Shell likely would build the so-called cracker plant even if it had to buy ethane from other drillers, analysts told the Tribune-Review. Shell announced a 60 percent drop in second-quarter profits on Thursday, including a $2 billion writeoff in the value of its North American shale properties. It plans to reevaluate its holdings, which include land in Pennsylvania. It will sell some, though company officials have not said which properties. I wouldnt assume it means bad news for the cracker, said Andy Walberer, a chemical industry consultant at A.T. Kearney. It certainly doesnt help, but it doesnt for sure mean theyre pulling back. Shell officials are working in Beaver County without any sign of hesitation, said several state and local officials and business partners. All reported having contact with Shell officials within the past week or two. Shell showed its 350acre footprint for the plant to local officials on June 25, County Commissioner Joe Spanik said. Local governments would need to approve a tax-free zone the state promised Shell. I have no concern about Shell right now, said R.T. Walker, a real estate agent who specializes in oil and gas properties and recently became a vice president at CBRE Inc. He noted that parts of the Marcellus in Western Pennsylvania remain among the most profitable for producing gas and other fuels. It makes sense that they would keep going on there. A Shell spokeswoman in Houston declined to comment. Company officials have not announced specifics of their plan. Shells quarterly earnings report simply called it a strategic review for North America and warned investors it would enter a period of selling more properties than usual. The company entered the shale-gas market in 2010 when it paid $4.7 billion for Marshall-based East Resources Inc. The purchase gave it 700,000

acres of mineral rights and an active drilling operation in northeast Pennsylvania. It since became the second-largest gas rights holder in the state, with 850,000 acres as of May 1, according to research and consulting firm Wood Mackenzie. Shell has drilled slowly in the Pittsburgh area, primarily to test how much gas it has. State production reports showed it had 39 wells in Butler and Lawrence counties, which it refers to as its Slippery Rock holdings. Only seven of the wells actively produced in the last six months of 2012, according to the Department of Environmental Protection. Ideally the company would own the wells and the cracker, analysts said. But so much drilling in shale plays around the country led to a glut of ethane and prices plummeted. Building a plant to turn ethane into plastics would enable Shell to get money from the premium product, experts said. The $200 billion company has many arms, however, and could opt to let another driller spend money up front while its chemical arm builds the cracker, experts said. Stephen Lewandowski, research director at IHS Chemical, said it might not matter which company owns the gas. I think theres a lot of hurdles still for the cracker, in general, but Im not sure this integration play is that important, he said. It just boils down to their view on ethane prices and the added-value of the big investment.

PHILADELPHIA A rare portfolio of photographs from Marilyn Monroes last sitting is up for grabs to the highest bidder. Freemans auction house in Philadelphia estimates the limited-edition portfolio of 10 photos, made from fashion photographer Bert Sterns original negatives from his June 1962 assignment for Vogue, could fetch $10,000 to $15,000 when it goes on the block Sept. 10. The photos will be on view to the public starting Sept. 6, said Aimee Pieger, head of the century-old auction houses photography division. Stern, who died in June at age 83, took more than 2,500 photos of the Hollywood icon over three days at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. The 20-by-20-inch portfolio photos are from the rst day, when Stern and Monroe were alone before the arrival of a cadre of Vogue staffers, and project a feeling of spontaneity and playfulness that stands out from the others. He brought a turntable and speakers and three cases of champagne, Pieger said. The feeling you get from the photos is theyre having a great time. Six weeks after her session with Stern, the 36-year-old screen siren was found dead in her home Aug. 5 of an apparent drug overdose. A halfcentury later, she remains one of the 20th-centurys most enduring sex symbols. Sterns photos were a sensation, partly because they were taken right before Monroes death and partly because they included the rst nude photos of Monroe since 1949. Many of the nudes show the star posing with diaphanous scarves, paper owers and pearls in bright but diffuse natural light that gives the photos

a dreamlike quality. She was beautiful and untouched, Stern said. It was as though she were just beginning. Monroe is often described in the photos as projecting an aura of damage and desperation, but Pieger disagrees. We project our own thoughts onto them when we look at them, she said. To me, theyre soft, beautiful, clutter-free images just lled with light they give you a real sense of her personality and playfulness. Other Monroe pho-

tos are being auctioned the same day, including more from the personal collection of the portfolio owner, who the auction house said wishes to remain anonymous. Also going on the auction block are nearly 100 photographs from the corporate collection of cosmetics giant Avons headquarters in New York City. The photographs are all by female artists from the 1910s to the 1990s from the little known to the prominent Cindy Sherman and Louise DahlWolfe and focus on

themes of beauty through the eyes of women. Part of the proceeds from Avons auction will benet the Avon

Foundation, which advances efforts related to breast cancer research and combating domestic violence.

Tea Party plans to abandon GOP stars

Group is angered by conservatives moves to more moderate agendas
MICHAEL J. MISHAK
Associated Press

MIAMI This wasnt the revolution the tea party had in mind. Four years ago, the movement and its potent mix of anger and populism persuaded thousands of costumed and sign-waving conservatives to protest the ballooning decit and President Obamas health care law. It swept a crop of no-compromise lawmakers into Congress and governors ofces and transformed political up-and-comers, including

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, into household names. But as many tea party stars seek re-election next year and Rubio considers a 2016 presidential run, conservative activists are nding themselves at a crossroads. Many of their standard-bearers have embraced more moderate positions on bedrock issues such as immigration and health care, broadening their appeal in swing states but dampening grass-roots passion. They keep sticking their nger in the eyes of the guys who got them elected, said Ralph King, a co-founder of the Cleveland Tea Party Patriots. A lot of people are feeling betrayed. The tea party is a loosely knit web of activists, and some are hoping to rekindle the re with 2014 primary challenges to wayward Republicans.

But many more say they plan to sit out high-prole races in some important swing states next year, a move that GOP leaders fear could imperil the reelection prospects of former tea party luminaries, including the governors of Florida and Ohio. It changes the playing eld for us, said Tom Gaitens, former Florida director of FreedomWorks, a political action committee that has spent millions of dollars to help tea party candidates. The most powerful thing we have as a movement is our feet and our vote. In the summer of 2009, tea party supporters

stormed congressional town hall meetings, shouting down lawmakers who had voted for the bank bailout and the stimulus package. The movements voice grew louder after Democrats passed the health care overhaul, and voters took their outrage to the polls in 2010. The tea party wave stunned Democrats and many moderate Republicans, sweeping the GOP into control of the House and changing the balance of power in many statehouses. But not long after some tea party stars took ofce, political analysts said, they were forced to adapt to a changing landscape,

particularly in states Obama won in 2012, and to the realities of governing. The tea party also fell out of favor with many people. At its height after the 2010 elections, a CBS News poll found that 31 percent of those surveyed considered themselves tea party supporters. A May survey found just 24 percent identied with the movement. Facing sagging approval ratings, tea party Republicans, some of whom were elected by slim margins, shifted tactics. Fla. Gov. Rick Scott, a former health care com-

pany executive who won ofce by attacking the health law and calling for deep cuts to state spending, has embraced the health law and signed one of the largest budgets in state history, complete with pay raises for teachers. Similarly, Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, and Rick Snyder, R-Mich., are battling their GOPdominated legislatures to expand Medicaid, a big part of the health law. Tea party supporters were most struck by Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants. His personal story and unlikely rise to power made him perhaps the most prominent gure in the movement. As a Senate candidate in 2010, he denounced as amnesty any plan that would offer a path to citizenship for those who were in the country illegally. Yet in recent months, he has emerged as a leader of a bipartisan Senate group that developed a plan that includes such a provision. The plan has been panned by conservatives but ultimately could bolster Rubios standing with Hispanics, a growing demographic group that has voted overwhelmingly Democratic in recent years. One sweltering July day, a half-dozen tea party

protesters gathered under a tree in front of Rubios Miami ofce, seeking shade as they denounced his support for an immigration overhaul. But the protest soon turned into more of a support group, with the four men and two women grousing to each other about how Rubio had turned into a backstabber, a liar and a ip-opper. Juan Fiol, a real estate broker who organized the protest, kept looking at his phone, waiting for calls from fellow tea party supporters that never came. It was supposed to be a big event, he said as he waved a large Dont Tread on Me ag. The movements top strategists acknowledge the tea party is quieter today, by design. It has matured, they said, from a protest movement to a political movement. Large-scale rallies have given way to strategic letter-writing and phonebanking campaigns to push or oppose legislative agendas in Washington and state capitals. In Michigan and Ohio, for example, leaders have battled the implementation of the presidents health law and the adoption of Common Core state school standards.

NEW YORK Why doesnt Anthony Weiner just quit? Its a question angry voters, pundits and fellow politicians have been asking almost nonstop in the nearly two weeks since the New York City mayoral candidates latest sexting bombshell, which has sent his poll numbers plummeting and turned his campaign into a chaotic sideshow. Weiner insists hes staying in the race no matter what. And experts say that beyond the former congressmans well-known ego and combativeness, his stance may just be rooted in political calculation.

A leading theory: Weiner takes his hits on the campaign trail, gives the media a chance to ask every sexting question and essentially p u n c h themselves Weiner out on the issue. And even if he loses, he emerges with the scandal mostly behind him and his political career refreshed to run for higher ofce again. All along, there has been a school of thought that Weiner was running in part to rehabilitate his image, said Wendy Schiller, a Brown University political scientist. That, even if he didnt win, a strong showing would set him up for another run down the road. Even now, he stays in the race, takes his lumps and shows some character, Schiller said. That might resonate with New Yorkers. And if he does better than people think he should, that helps for the future, too. With fewer than 40 days until the Democratic primary, Weiner has been doing his best to push past the horde of reporters and photographers and make his case directly to voters. In recent days, he has been leaving events with more applause than when he entered. When a man at a Bronx campaign stop last week questioned the viability of Weiners campaign, asking, When do you say Enough

is enough? the candidates hoarse voice roared to life. If you become the mayor of the City of New York, youve got to put up with this every single day, Weiner told the crowd. People saying to you, You know what, you did something we dont like. Cameras in your face. Change your mind, back down. Quit. Thats not the kind of mayor Im going to be. The next night, Weiner traveled to a Queens neighborhood that was once part of his congressional district. A man asked how voters could ever trust him again. Ive dishonored my wife, but sir, I didnt do anything to you, Weiner said. If you think youre a better person and a better candidate, why dont you want to let me run? Let the citizens of this city decide. At yet another Queens event, there were boos from the crowd, but they were directed at longshot Republican candidate George McDonald for calling Weiner a self-pleasuring freak. Im facing some tough challenges now, and one thing all of my opponents agree upon is theyd rather I wasnt running, he said. Well, tough, he said to applause from the audience. Team Weiner seems to be embracing the confrontations. His campaign sent out an email to supporters titled Getting an earful from a voter, which included a video depicting the tough Bronx exchange.

Celebrating Harveys Lake

Harveys Lake saw plenty of activities Sunday. There was a parade with vintage cars, a wing-eating contest, a craft show and some events on the lake itself, of course. The wing-eating contest even had to go to overtime to decide a winner. All the events were held to celebrate the conclusion of the annual Harveys Lake Homecoming Weekend. The weekend is held each year to the history and growth of the Harveys Lake community.

Josh Chollak does some tricks on his personal watercraft during a freestyle competition Sunday at Harveys Lake, sponsored by HL Powersports. The top three finishers in the event were Jimmy Reilly, Joe Reilly and Jeff Franklin. Vintage cars and rescue vehicles made up most of the parade, celebrating Harveys Lake Homecoming Weekend on Sunday.

Senators offer plan to save cash-strapped USPS BEL L ES

ANDREW MIGA
Associated Press

WASHINGTON Saturday mail delivery would be ended in a year and the Postal Service could start shipping alcoholic beverages under a plan offered Friday by two key senators seeking to turn around the struggling agencys nances. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Carper, D-Del., and the panels ranking Republican, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, said they hope Congress can act quickly to help the agency. The Postal Service lost $16 billion last year, $11 billion of it in congressionally-mandated payments to its health fund for future retirees. The Senate plan includes changes in how pensions and retiree health care costs are calculated in an attempt to stabilize the agencys nances. It also would impose a two-year moratorium on closing mail processing plants. The agency would be allowed to ship beer, wine and spirits to compete with private shippers such as FedEx, under the proposal.

Door-to-door service for new residential and business addresses would cease to help the Postal Service shift to less costly curbside and cluster box delivery. The measure would require the agency to try to convert residential addresses on a voluntary basis from door-to-door service to curbside and cluster box delivery.

MILWAUKEE The nations governors have a warning for President Barack Obama and Congress: A scal standoff in Washington this fall could be catastrophic for states already feeling the fallout of sweeping cuts in federal spending. When theres uncertainty in Washington, D.C., that uncertainty can affect our economic climate and revenue growth, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, a former U.S. House member, said Friday. She echoed the concerns of her counterparts in other states at their annual three-day summer conference. The meeting opens on the same day Congress was leaving Washington for a ve-week break with key pieces of consequential work unnished. All those things left undone, the uncertainty in Washington has an impact, she added. The fast-approaching scal showdown and the governors deep contempt for Washingtons inability to break impasses on spending hung over the meeting in swing-voting Wisconsin. As the conference began, Republicans and Democrats alike bemoaned the cost of Washingtons inaction for states struggling to recover economically and striving to attract employers. When they see other countries invest in transportationand were not, thats a strike against us, said Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, a Democrat. When you want some kind of predictability with respect to immigration thats a strike against us.

executive director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission. Heartland cities like Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis overtook Mississippi last year in the American Gaming Associations list of the top 20 U.S. casino markets. So did Philadelphia and the state of Connecticut. The Mississippi Gulf Coast was No. 8, at almost $1.1 billion in economic impact. Tunica County was No. 10, at $821.9 million. Las Vegas and Atlantic City continue to hold the top two spots. The industry is expanding. Theyre putting facilities near large population centers and/or near borders with other states, said Michael Pollock, managing director of Spectrum Gaming research rm. Early on, a lot of our visitors came from Oklahoma and Nebraska, said Lyn Arnold, president and CEO of the Tunica County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Foundation. Now, Oklahoma has 92 gaming facilities. The competition has been a big drain. The states oldest casino, the Isle of Capri, is being renovated as a Golden Nugget casino. Spokesman Brad Rhines says it will reopen as the newest, freshest casino on the Gulf Coast.

But at least they represent an overdue return to active diplomacy in the Middle East by the Obama administration, and in that lies hope Washington is nally willing to use its inuence to get the two sides to negotiate seriously over a two-state solution. Certainly, the appointment of Martin Indyk, the former US ambassador to Israel, to manage the resumed negotiations after a three-year hiatus suggests Secretary of State John Kerry is giving the initiative his best shot. And, for all the pessimism, it could be that the dangerous witches brew the Middle East has become could provide both sides with the motivation to rethink previously irreconcilable positions. For Israel there are the daunting implications of the chaos in Egypt, its partner in the 1979 accord that forms the bedrock of what passes

Success of peace talks rests with Palestinians

for peace in the Middle East; the turmoil in Syria that is undermining the stability of Lebanon and Iraq; threats to the survival of Jordans moderate King Abdullah; and the prospect of Iran getting the bomb. Ahead of the talks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a signicant concession the release of 104 Palestinian prisoners, some responsible for the most heinous acts of terrorism. Despite this, the Palestinians refuse to budge on their demand that Israel accept that its 1967 borders should be the starting point for negotiations, and have done nothing to persuade Hamas in Gaza to recognize Israels right to exist. Israel has long been prepared to resume peace talks without preconditions. It is the Palestinians who created the obstacles. Achieving peace pivots on acceptance of Israels inalienable right to exist within secure, defensible borders.

Korean agency reform must remain on track

Public trust in the nations tax office has taken another tumble with the emergence of allegations that a former chief of the National Tax Service took bribes from CJ Group in return for favors during a tax audit years ago. Prosecutors have arrested Heo Byung-yik, a former deputy commissioner of the NTS, on suspicion he took bribes from CJ, a food and entertainment conglomerate whose chairman, Lee Jay-hyun, was recently indicted on charges of dodging taxes and misappropriating corporate money. Heo is suspected of having received $300,000 in U.S. currency from the business group in 2006. But he was quoted as saying that he had delivered the money to Jeon Goon-pyo, who was the NTS commissioner at the time. Prosecutors hence raided Jeons residence to obtain financial documents that would prove his receipt of illegal money from CJ. They also searched the Seoul office of the NTS for documents related to the tax audit on CJ in 2006. Jeon is suspected of having helped CJ emerge unscathed from the tax audit. But Jeon strongly denied that he had received any money from CJ. Prosecutors have summoned him for questioning. Jeon was recently released from prison after serving years for taking bribes in 2006 from the then head of the Busan branch of the NTS, who wanted a promotion. The investigation into Jeon and Heo comes at a time when the NTS is making determined efforts to shake off its image as a corrupt and untrustworthy public agency. In March, NTS chief Kim Deokjoong pledged to uproot tax corruption before waging a war against the underground economy. In May, he launched a task force to inspect tax officials and introduced a one strike and you are out system in which a tax inspector will be transferred to other fields if he is found to have received illegal money even once in connection with his job. In June, he invited a prosecutor to lead the inspection task force and ordered tax officials not to meet taxpayers after undertaking a tax inspection. The latest probe into former top officials is demoralizing to incumbent NTS officials. But Kim should not allow it to derail his campaign to clean house.

time for school tax reform is now

ers against seniors. And our kids are caught in the middle, while Harrisburg walks in between the raindrops. The problem isnt school boards or homeowners or teachers or seniors. And it sure isnt our children. The problem is Harrisburg. A big part of the solution is to move Rep. John away from funding Galloway our schools with a local school property Contributing tax and replacing it Columnist with an increase in the states sales and income taxes. Imagine a Bristol Borough and a state where our kids are treated equally. Imagine homeowners no longer worried about school property taxes. Imagine the positive effect it would have on our property values, our economy and on our schools. House Bill 76 has been offered as a solution and I applaud the sponsor, a Republican named Jim Cox from Berks County. We can argue for years about the specics, but I have always seen it as a starting point. Its not whether you agree with everything in the bill. Thats not the point. The point is whether you agree with the concept, because if you do, we can compromise. Just rejecting the solution out of hand without stating whether you agree on the problem and the concept for a solution is not good enough. I have reached across the aisle and worked with Republicans to address one of the most divisive issues of our time, illegal immigration. E-VERIFY for all public projects is the law of the land in Pennsylvania. While politicians in Washington continue to argue about compromise, we have already done it. I want to do it again, this time with education. People ask me why, I say why not? The great silent majority of this state is sick and tired of politicians ghting and not accomplishing anything. Both parties have their extreme elements that wont compromise. The result is total gridlock. And they both have forgotten the middle class. For the rst time since I have been in Harrisburg there is a movement growing around school funding. The great silent majority is mobilizing around this issue. Join us. Bobby Kennedy was a great man. If he were here today he wouldnt look at the problem and ask why. He would work to solve the problem and ask, why not?
State Rep. John Galloway, D-Bucks, represents the 140th Legislative District.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not. George Bernard Shaw When I was a kid, I loved Bobby Kennedy. He is a big part of why I got involved in politics. He used Shaws quote several times to dene why he cared so much. He cared for the poor, the sick, and the elderly. And he was a champion for what he called Americas greatest invention: the middle class. One of the rst bills I started working on, after being sworn in almost eight years ago, was a constitutional convention to fundamentally change the way we fund our schools. I have always felt it is the greatest problem facing the middle-class working families and senior citizens of my district and the entire state. Pennsylvanias education system is crumbling. Harrisburg rewards larger, growing districts and penalizes smaller school districts like Bristol Borough. Children are treated differently based on their ZIP code. Harrisburg used to fund 50 percent of school costs. Today it barely reaches 17 percent. And local homeowners are left holding the bag. This has occurred under both Democrats and Republicans. We pit school board members against teachers against homeown-

Experience provides advice for others

My father suffered from miners asthma for many years. And one of the major symptom of this disease is that uid builds up in the lungs which makes it very difcult to breathe. What my father discovered through trial and error was that when he laid down it became more difcult to breathe. Because the uid in his lungs would spread to more of the lung tissue (in the alveoli where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs). He discovered that if he sat in a chair and laid his head on the kitchen table he found it much easier to breathe and he would at least have some rest during the night. And this is probably due to gravity which would keep the uid down in his lungs and made it much easier to breathe. Recently, one of my sisters developed a type of edema that caused uid to build up in her lungs which also caused a breathing problem especially when she went to bed. Remembering what my

Dont skip the meeting

world economy and Americas own economic and nancial problems, Mr. Obama needs to be there. As far as Russia and Mr. Putin are concerned, the plate is full of important issues of common interest. These include the ghting in Syria, the major unrest in Egypt, Russias attitude toward the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, Irans nuclear program and new President Hassan Rouhani, North Koreas latest antics and prospects for mutual arms reduction, a matter of particular importance to Mr. Obama. Boycotting a major event in a country that is doing something unhelpful makes no sense in international relations. Mr. Obama needs to take his seat at the G-20 and talk to the Russian president.

A suggestion is swirling around that President Barack Obama skip the G-20 summit in Saint Petersburg and a meeting with Russian President Vladimir V. Putin because of that countrys failure to hand over Edward J. Snowden. This would be shortsighted. The meeting is normally attended by the worlds top leaders. It should include opportunities for Mr. Obama to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The principal subject matter will again be how the worlds largest economies recover from the global recession. Given the role of the United States in those efforts, its interdependence with the rest of the

Warnings
From page 1A travel warning to Americans. Chatter means conversation among terrorists about the planning thats going on very reminiscent of what we saw pre-9/11, Chambliss, R-Ga., told NBCs Meet the Press. This is the most serious threat that Ive seen in the last several years, he said. Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told ABCs This Week that the threat intercepted from highlevel people in al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula was about a major attack. Yemen is home to al-Qaidas most dangerous afliate, blamed for several notable terrorist plots on the United States. They include the foiled Christmas Day 2009 effort to bomb an airliner over Detroit and the explosives-laden parcels intercepted the following year aboard cargo ights. Rep. Peter King, who leads the House Homeland Security subcommittee on counterterrorism and intelligence, said the threat included dates but not locations of possible attacks. The threat was specic as to how enormous it was going to be and also that certain dates were given, King, R-N.Y., said on ABC. Rep. Adam Schiff, a House Intelligence Committee member, said the breadth of the closures suggests U.S. authorities are concerned about a potential repeat of last years riots and attacks at multiple embassies, including the deadly assault in Benghazi, Libya, where

From page 1A northern Wyoming County. PVR submitted an emergency operations plan to Wyoming County Emergency Management Agency, per a DEP mandate. Jack Dodson, Kunkle Fire Departments chief, has a copy of the plan. But EMA Director Gene Dziak said an emergency plan cannot be considered air-tight. Yo u cant dot the I and Dziak cross the T on a plan, Dziak said. If you do that, it will fail. You can have a comprehensive plan, but the plan might not t the incident. Jay Devine, a PVR spokesman, acknowledged residents frustration with communication gaps. He said that since the issues started, the company has been working to reconnect those emergency lines so community crews have information they need to protect the people. He said the municipal and county

Its important to understand that when those things happen, we have to address what the issue is, Devine said. the station is inside its borders. But many of its neighbors live in Luzerne County and the Kunkle Volunteer Fire Department, the closest re company, is also in Luzerne County. It seems that its taken almost a year to pinpoint a system kink that is the county line. Obviously, (emergencies) dont stop at the border, said Alan Pugh, Dallas Township volunteer EMA coordinator. Pugh said PVR and Dziak more recently have been transparent in sharing plans with him about emergency protocol, but they have no quick and easy way to get emergency information to the public. If you dont get out information, rumors are gonna prevail, Pugh said. He said a public alert system such as the National Weather Service uses could be one solution. Martin said the township is working on a text message alert system, but it is not operational yet.

the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed. In addition, Interpol, the French-based international policy agency, has issued a global security alert in connection with suspected alQaida involvement in several recent prison escapes including those in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan. Those prison breaks add to the concerns about an attack, said Schiff, D-Calif., also noting the approaching end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. So you have a lot things coming together. But all of that would not be enough without having some particularly specic information, he said. The Obama administrations decision to close the embassies and the lawmakers general discussion about the threats come at a sensitive time as the government tries to defend recently

disclosed surveillance programs that have stirred deep privacy concerns and raised the potential of the rst serious retrenchment in terrorism-ghting efforts since Sept. 11. The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman has scoffed at the assertion by the head of the National Security Agency that government methods used to collect telephone and email data have helped foil 54 terror plots. Schiff said he has seen no evidence linking the latest warnings to that agencys collection of vast amounts of domestic data. Other lawmakers defended the administrations response and promoted the work of the NSA in unearthing the intelligence that lead to the security warnings. The bottom line is that the NSAs job is to do foreign intelligence, Ruppersburger said. The whole purpose is

to collect information to protect us. Added King, a frequent critic of President Barack Obama, Whether or not there was any controversy over the NSA at all, all these actions would have been taken. Fridays warning from the State Department urged American travelers to take extra precautions overseas, citing potential dangers involved with public transportation systems and other prime sites for tourists. It noted that previous terrorist attacks have centered on subway and rail networks as well as airplanes and boats. It suggested travelers sign up for State Department alerts and register with U.S. consulates in the countries they visit. The alert expires Aug. 31. The statement said al-Qaida or its allies might target either U.S. government or private American interests.

Public notice issue

In the June 20 Chapin Station emergency, crews responded to what was later identied as a steam release. Fireghters and medics milled about up on the hill for about an hour with retrucks idling at the ready while PVR company technicians worked below. At the scene, Dodson shook his head. Were trying to get the PVR guys to cooperate, he said. DEP spokeswoman Colleen Connolly agreed with Dziak that communication is getting better. PVR is required by law to le emergency plans with Wyoming County because

A-Rod
From page 1A all of us are curious whats going to happen. All-Stars Nelson Cruz of Texas and Jhonny Peralta of Detroit, and Everth Cabrera of San Diego were among those who could get 50-game suspensions from the probe, sparked in January when Miami New Times published documents linking many players to the closed clinic in Coral Gables, Fla. Many players were expected to agree to penalties and start serving them immediately, but an appeal by a rst-offender under the drug agreement would postpone his suspension until after a decision by an arbitrator. Milwaukee outelder Ryan Braun, the 2011 NL MVP, agreed July 22 to a 65-game ban through the rest of the 2013 season for his role with Biogenesis. Braun was given a 50-game suspension for elevated testosterone that was overturned last year by arbitrator Shyam Das because of issues with the handing of the urine sample. Since spring training, the union has said it will consider stiffer penalties starting in 2014. The home runs that are hit because a guys on performance-enhancing substances, those ruin somebodys ERA, which ruins their arbitration case, which ruins their salary, Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson said. So its a whole domino effect. Rodriguezs return from hip surgery was slowed by a quadriceps injury. He completed his second minor league injury rehabilitation assignment on Saturday night, a two-day stay at Double-A Trenton. Rodriguez walked in all four plate appearances, a day after hitting a two-run homer. Following Friday nights game, Rodriguez all but said he thought MLB and the Yankees were conspiring to keep him from getting back to the big leagues. There is more than one party that benets from me not ever stepping back on the eld. And thats not my teammates and its not the Yankee fans, said, adding: When all this stuff is going on in the background and people are nding creative ways to cancel your contract and stuff like that, I think thats concerning for me. He last played in October, going 3 for 25 (.120) with no RBI in the playoffs. Rodriguez is owed $8,568,306 of his $28 million salary from Monday through the rest of the season and $86 million for the nal four years of his contract with the Yankees. Girardi didnt think A-Rods arrival would create more turmoil than the Yankees already are used to. I dont suspect itll be awkward. Most of these guys know him as a teammate and have laughed a lot with Alex and been around Alex a lot, he said. I think itll be business as usual. Im sure there will be more media there, obviously, tomorrow, but I think thats probably more for Alex to deal with than the rest of the guys. I dont think itll be a big deal. Lawyers involved in the drug cases have been trying to reach agreements that would avoid grievances. Deal or no deal, baseball Commissioner Bud Selig was prepared to announce discipline. Peralta didnt think the possibility of a suspension made it harder to focus on the eld. Nothing to worry about, he said. Play the game how I play every day, and try to enjoy every day. Asked what action he would take if penalized, Cruz said: I havent decided what Im going to do. There have been 43 suspensions under the major league drug agreement since testing with penalties for rst offenses started in 2005. The longest penalty served has been a 100-game suspension by San Francisco pitcher Guillermo Mota for a positive test for Clenbuterol, his second drug offense. In addition, Tampa Bay outelder Manny Ramirez retired two years rather than face a 100-game suspension, and when he decided to return for 2012 the penalty was cut to 50 games because he already had sat out almost an entire season. Colorado catcher Eliezer Alfonzo was suspended for 100 games in September 2011, but the penalty was rescinded the following May because of handling issues similar to the ones involving Brauns urine sample.

Prayer
From page 1A told attendees to have faith, dened as believing in something hoped for but not seen. To have faith, you have to believe, be focused and trust in God, Smiley said. Sometimes we go through our lives and wonder, God why did you place me here? Maybe at work your co-workers talk about you; you have to stay focused. You have got to stay on the path God designed for you. Just like a global positioning system device will recalculate your route if you get lost, Smiley said, God will recalculate your path and get you back on track. All this are possible if you believe, he said. Sometimes, Smiley said, God may make you go through things for a reason. But it you believe and stay focused, you will come out on top. Two people may want to

achieve the same goal, he said. One might reach that goal in two months and it might take the other two years, but it is important to stay focused and walk the path God provided, he said. Everyone could tell me no in my life, but if God put it in my heart, I know I can do it, he said. Take the limits off God. Smiley urged all the

churches of the city to work together to take back our city. As long as they are teaching about Jesus, they we should be working together, he said. Bishop Wallace Smith said God uses many victories to teach us. Smith encouraged everyone to take the word of God back to their communities.

Woods cruises to victory at Bridgestone Invitational

The Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio Tiger Woods played safe and smart with a big lead, parring 16 holes in an even-par 70 Sunday to coast to a seven-shot victory at the Bridgestone Invitational for his eighth win at the event matching the PGA Tour record he shares for victories in a single tournament. After a second-round 61 in which he irted with 59, Woods ended up at 15-under 265 to easily beat defending champ Keegan Bradley and Henrik Stenson. Woods mastery at Firestone allowed him to again match

Sam Sneads PGA Tour record for wins in an event. Snead won the Greater Greensboro Open eight times. Earlier this year, Woods won at Bay Hill for the eighth time. Woods won for the fth time this year to push his PGA Tour total to 79, three short of Sneads record.
Womens British Open

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland Stacy Lewis had another big week at St. Andrews and left with an even bigger prize a major championship at the home of golf. Lewis nished a marathon Sunday with exquisite birdies

on the last two holes of the Old Course to close with an evenpar 72 and win the Womens British Open by two shots. It was her second major on the LPGA Tour, ending a record streak of 10 straight majors won by Asian players. The last time the 28-year-old Lewis was at St. Andrews was in 2008 for the Curtis Cup, and she went 5-0 to lead the Americans to victory.
3M Championship

BLAINE, Minn. Tom Pernice Jr. birdied the nal two holes for a one-stroke victory over Jeff Sluman and Corey Pavin in the 3M Championship.

Pernice nished with a 4-under 68 and had a 17-under 199 total at the TPC Twin Cities for his second career Champions Tour victory. He also has two PGA Tour victories. Sluman closed with a 62, and Pavin had a 66. Trailing Sluman by one shot at the par-3 17th, Pernice made a long birdie putt to pull even. At the par-5 18th, hit his second shot to 8 feet and twoputted for the winning birdie.
Reno-Tahoe Open

RENO, Nev. Gary Woodland holed a 58-foot chip from the rough for one of his

four birdies and got up-anddown to save pars ve times to win the Reno-Tahoe Open for his second PGA Tour victory. Woodland nished with 44 points in the modied Stableford format that awards eight points for double eagle, ve for eagle, two for birdie, zero for par, minus-one for bogey and minus-three for double bogey or worse. Jonathan Byrd and Andres Romero tied for second with 35 points, and Brendon Steele had 33 at Montreux Golf Club on the edge of the Sierra. Woodland, also the 2011 Transitions Championship winner as a tour rookie,

earned $540,000 for the victory and got a spot next week in the PGA Championship.
Mylan Classic

CANONSBURG Ben Martin won the Mylan Classic for his second Web.com Tour title of the year, shooting his third straight 4-under 67 for a ve-stroke victory. The 25-year-old former Clemson player had a 17-under 267 total at Southpointe Golf Club. He earned $121,500 to jump from fourth to second on the money list with $396,249. Martin also won the United Leasing Championship in a playoff July 1 in Newburgh, Ind.

RailRiders
From page 1B Steve Susdorf started the rally with a sharp single and scored the tying run when Josh Fields followed with a double. Cody Overbeck then launched a tworun homer to right field, and just like that, a 2-1 RailRiders lead was gone. Not long after, so was Marshall. He surrendered consecutive singles to Tyler Henson and Cameron Rupp later in the inning, and left the mound after Tyson Gillies slammed another double for Lehigh Valleys sixth hit among the first seven batters of the inning. Youve got to try to limit the damage, Marshall said. I was trying to make pitches and trying to get out of jams. He did that pretty well at the start, inducing two double-play grounders over the first two innings and recording six strikouts through the first five frames. And if Mesa hadnt gotten a slow start while attempting to run down a looping double by Freddy Galvis that eventually produced the games first run in the first inning, Marshall may have had a shutout through five innings. I feel like my changeup was working real well, Marshall said. Then everything changed. Randy Ruiz ripped an RBI single for the RailRiders to tie the game in the bottom of the first and Ronnier Mustelier laced his sixth homer of the season to start the second and stake Marshall to a 2-1 lead. But Lehigh Valley starter David Buchanan didnt yield much more, holding the RailRiders to three hits and no runs over his final five innings of work. I knew it was kind of a pitchers duel, Marshall said. Its definitely fun. Its fun to compete, especially when the games at one run or the ballgames tied up. It was just one inning that killed me. Meanwhile, Mesa wasnt exactly dying inside over his demotion. Its a game, Mesa said. I just play the game. But he played it so well when he got to New York, he had to wonder if he wasnt worthy of at least lasting a little longer. Mesa hit .385 with two doubles and an RBI during his 13 at-bats over five games with the Yankees, and wound up scoring two runs. But he returned to the RailRiders on Sunday for the first time since July 19, and went 0-for-4 in their leadoff spot all the while longing, maybe just a little, to be in New York. You want to stay up there, Mesa said. Not just get up there.

Title
From page 1B match and continue their comeback from what had been a vehole decit. I soon as I hit it, I knew it was going to be good, Francis said. Francis had played his approach on 15 from the 16th fairway after hitting a booming drive over the trees on the dogleg right hole. Switching fairways again on the next hole was not a cause for concern after also getting the clinching birdie from a spot near there in the morning semifinals. Ive been over there about a billion times, he said. I dont mind going over there, as long as you hit it far enough. You have a good look at the green. Its way better than going right. If you go right, you have no chance. Blinn and Corbett, who have won the tournament three times, took the early lead with a par on 2. Belgio and Francis won six holes between 4 and 11 to take their ve-hole lead and threaten to clinch early. The only birdie of the front nine came when Belgio rolled in an uphill putt from the lower tier of the sixth green to put his team 2 up. Ive never made that putt before, Belgio said. Ive had that putt so many times, but its so hard to read. The teams halved three straight holes before everyone found trouble on 10, rst off the tee then when each team had a shot hit carts behind the green. Belgio did the best job of scrambling, placing a wedge to ve feet for a par that was conceded to win the hole when a bogey would have been enough.

THE T.L. EXPRESS

Just when it seemed the game was turning into a pitchers duel, things took a turn for the worse for RailRiders starter Brett Marshall. He surrendered six hits and six runs in the sixth inning, including a two-run homer that put Lehigh Valley ahead for good and sent Marshall to his ninth loss of the season. Until then, the righthander was cruising through what could have been five shutout innings, had center fielder Melky Mesa gotten a quicker start on a looping double by Lehigh Valleys Freddy Galvis that turned into the games first run in the first inning. As Marshall went, so did the RailRiders on Sunday. Good start, but not such a good finish. RailRiders at the Plate: Ronnier Mustelier showed some pop with a wind-aided homer to center field and another long drive to left field that turned into an out. Randy Ruiz ripped a pair of singles, including the first RBI for the RailRiders, and Adonis Garcia had two hits in his first two trips to the plate. RailRiders on the mound: Brett Marshall was cruising with six strikeouts and just one run surrendered until things fell apart on him during Lehigh Valleys six-run sixth inning. Mike Zagurski, Jim Miller and Matt Daley combined for three scoreless innings of relief with five strikeouts without allowing a hit. Decisive defense: Tyler Hensons diving backhanded stab of J.R. Murphys liner down the third-base line in the first inning saved one run and possibly two, and helped give Lehigh Valley a chance to rally. Riding the Rails: Center fielder Melky Mesa was back in center field and in the leadoff spot for the RailRiders after being optioned down from New York, where he hit .385 in five games for the parent Yankees. He went 0-for-4 upon his Scranton/Wilkes-Barre return Sunday. Attendance: 6,012. Time of Game: 2:33. Today: The RailRiders enjoy a rare late-season off day. On Deck: The RailRiders head to Syracuse Tuesday to finish what they started last month at PNC Field, a game thats tied in the 11th inning. Then theyll play a regularly-scheduled game after that games completion in Syracuse. On the Radio: All games can be heard on WYCK 1340-AM, 1400-AM and 100.7-FM. HOW THEY SCORED LEHIGH VALLEY FIRST: Freddy Galvis dropped a double into centerfield that got lost in the sun, then Steve Susdorf drew a one-out walk. Josh Fields followed with a sharp single to center field, bringing home Galvis. LEHIGH VALLEY 1-0. RAILRIDERS FIRST: Adonis Garcia slammed a two-out single to center field, Dan Johnson walked and Randy Ruiz roped a run-scoring single to left field that brought Garcia home. RAILRIDERS 1, LEHIGH VALLEY 1. RAILRIDERS SECOND: Ronnier Mustelier lifted a home run just over the center field fence and against the black backdrop behind it. RAILRIDERS 2-1. LEHIGH VALLEY SIXTH: Steve Susdorf singled, stole second base and raced home on a double by Josh Fields to tie the game. Cody Overbeck soon untied it with a two-run shot over the right field wall. Cameron Rupp singled, stole second base and scored on Cameron Rupps single. Tyson Gillies doubled to finish RailRiders starter Brett Marshall, then Leandro Castro finished the six-run inning with a two-run double. LEHIGH VALLEY 7-2. RAILRIDERS EIGHTH: David Adams singled off the glove of pitcher Justin Friend and moved to second base when Garcia walked. Dan Johnson followed with a hard single to right field that brought Adams home. LEHIGH VALLEY 7-3.

Lou Belgio watches his ball after teeing off on hole No. 8 during the championship round of the Potentate Tournament on Sunday.

Francis left himself just a little pitch over the front left trap on the 371-yard 11th for a birdie and a 5-up lead. They didnt play their best, Belgio said. They could have packed it in, but they didnt. Instead, Corbett came up with consecutive birdies on 13 and 14. Corbett reached the green in two on the par-5 13th. Then, Blinn made it a third straight birdie to win a hole at 15 when Belgio and Francis both hit their drives to the bottom of the hill to leave much shorter approaches to the green. For the fourth time in four weekend match-play rounds, Belgio and Francis locked up a win without ever having to hit a shot on 17 or 18. After multiple trips to Sundays tournament seminals, they won the Potentate title in their rst attempt in the nals.

Baseball
From page 1B Itd be a start, Padres outelder Will Venable said. My personal opinion is that the penalties need to get back to the contracts, he said. I believe that if you cross over and decide that you are going to use the banned substance, you also should forfeit the support of the players association. They are not worthy of the support of the players association. I think the combination of that and somehow having to forfeit or void your contract that youre under is something that needs to be the main focus of the penalties, he said. For Mark McGwire, the taint of scandal cost him a chance at the Hall of Fame. For Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, the drug cloud landed them in federal court. Rafael Palmeiro, with more than 500 home runs and 3,000 hits, became an outcast after a positive drug test. Manny Ramirez drew a suspension that ran him out of the majors, Steve Howe was banned seven times. In the 1980s, several players had reputations tarnished during the Pittsburgh cocaine trials, before that a few even went to prison. Now, former MVP Ryan Braun is serving a 65-game ban and more big penalties are looming. Theres a thought that maybe the punishment isnt steep enough because the guys are still doing stuff, Seattle shortstop Brendan Ryan said. Is there a punishment thats too stiff? I dont know. It should scare anyone from doing it. A tough task, Yankees player representative Curtis Granderson said. I think as long as the ability to improve and the amount of money and fame and accolades are there, therell always be someone trying to do it, the star outelder said during a media session at Petco Park in San Diego. I mean, if you go back to all of us here standing here, Im sure one of us at some point in time has cheated off of a test, nagled a resume, entrance exams to a school. And then you see in all the different other sports and stuff, the way people have been doing stuff from these Olympics to these sports to this game. Granderson added: Theres always a way to try to get yourself better, especially when theres a monetary value involved. Whether that be getting a scholarship, getting a job, getting a career in baseball. I think always someones going to be trying to do it. Hall of Famer Tony Perez, who works with the Marlins, understands the lure. You can make a lot of money. The temptation is hard to refuse, he said. Im not angry at them. They made a mistake. I dont know if I was in their shoes, I might have done it because of the money.

Carters induction into Hall concludes festivities

BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer

CANTON, Ohio Forcefully and emotionally, Cris Carter summed up the 50th induction ceremony for the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night. The seventh and nal inductee from the Class of 2013, Carter honored dozens of people in his life who were going into the Hall of Fame with me tonight, as he followed Jonathan Ogden, Dave Robinson, Larry Allen, Bill Parcells, Curley Culp and Warren Sapp in being inducted. More than 120 hall members, a record, and a crowd of 11,500 was on hand at Fawcett Stadium for the golden anniversary celebration of the shrine. I appreciate the process you have to go through to get to be a

Hall of Famer, Carter said. To be able to join these men on this stage in football heaven is the greatest day of my life. Carter needed six tries to make the hall even though he retired as the No. 2 career receiver behind Jerry Rice. He choked back tears as he made his speech after being presented by his son, Duron, and he spoke of his problems with alcohol while playing three years for the Eagles before being released. He hooked on immediately with the Vikings and hooked onto nearly everything throw his way: Carter nished his 16-season career with 1,101 catches for 13,899 yards and 130 touchdowns. This game gave me identity, gave me a sense of purpose, he said. Parcells also seemingly spoke

for everyone in the Hall of Fame, and all the people gathered Saturday night. Theres a kinship created that lasts for the rest of your life, he said about his experience as one of the NFLs most successful coaches. The master of the franchise turnaround as the only coach to take four teams to the playoffs, Parcells won Super Bowls with the New York Giants in the 1986 and 1990 seasons. Every organization I worked for supported me to the fullest, Parcells said. Without that, youve got no shot. Parcells was Coach of the Year honors in 1986 and 1994. He asked to have his bust placed somewhere near Lawrence Taylor in the hall so I can keep an eye on that sucker. As relaxed as if he had no one

to block, Ogden became the rst Baltimore Raven enshrined. The rst player drafted by the Ravens after the franchise moved from Cleveland in 1996 and was renamed, Ogden was presented by the man who made that selection, fellow Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome, now Baltimores general manager. A former college shot putter at UCLA, the 6-foot-9, 345-pound Ogden starred at tackle for a dozen seasons in Baltimore, winning the 2000 NFL championship. He is part of the foundation of this franchise, part of the reason we have two Super Bowl championships, Newsome said. Ogden, who was given a 2013 Super Bowl ring by the team, made the hall in his rst year of eligibility. He was a six-time

All-Pro, made the Pro Bowl 11 times and was the main blocker when Jamal Lewis rushed for 2,066 yards in 2003. Allen, who snifed his way through his speech, was just as dominating a blocker as Ogden. He also was the NFLs strongest man, once bench-pressing 700 pounds, saying I did it naturally. A lead blocker for Dallas as Emmitt Smith became the NFLs career rushing leader, Allen made six All-Pro squads and 11 Pro Bowls in his 14 seasons, the nal two with San Francisco. He won the Super Bowl in the 1995 season and was voted into the Hall of Fame in his rst year of eligibility, I just knew I had to win every play, he said. Thats the reason I am here. I knew if I lost a play, I had 45 seconds to get even.

Sapp became only the second Tampa Bay Buccaneer enshrined, 18 years after Lee Roy Selmon made it. He was elected in his rst year of eligibility following 13 seasons in which he went from instant starter after being selected 12th overall in the 1995 draft to Defensive Player of the Year in 1999. That season, he had 12 1/2 sacks as the Bucs won their rst division title in 18 years. For his career, Sapp had 96 1/2 sacks, extremely high for a defensive tackle. I sit here with the greatest among the great, Sapp said, breaking into tears. Were here, baby. Presented Saturday night by his 15-year-old daughter, Mercedes, Sapp made the NFLs All-Decade squads for the 1990s and the 2000s.

Eagles Cooper receiving threats Hall of Fame DTArt Donovan dead at 89

The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA Eagles receiver Riley Cooper has been sent threatening messages after a video of him making a racial slur became public. The team said Sunday that Riley informed the club of the threats and did not know who made them. The team has notied the leagues security department. Cooper was ned by the Eagles after his slur became known Wednesday. He left the team Friday to seek counseling. Riley Cooper made us aware of the tweets when the video became public, the team said in a statement. He told us that he did not know about the video. He informed us he blocked the tweets because he did not know the person nor understand the context of what that person was threatening.

We promptly alerted NFL security. This information potentially speaks to a legal issue that is a matter between Cooper Riley and the authorities. Our focus has been on Rileys words and actions. The video of Cooper was taken at a Kenny Chesney concert in June. Cooper apologized profusely both Wednesday and Thursday. Eagles coach Chip Kelly has said Coopers roster spot is not in jeopardy. Cooper has just 46 catches and ve touchdowns in three years with the Eagles, but had been practicing with the starters after Jeremy Maclins season-ending knee injury. Asked when Cooper will return to the Eagles, Kelly said theres no time frame. When we do, well make sure we

announce it so its not going to be a surprise to anybody, Kelly said. Coopers departure coupled with Maclins injury leaves the Eagles lacking experienced receivers behind two-time Pro Bowl wideout DeSean Jackson and longtime slot receiver Jason Avant. Its giving Ifeanyi Momah and Arrelious Benn a chance to not only make the team, but get some playing time. Benn was the 39th overall pick by Tampa Bay in the 2010 NFL draft. He had 59 catches and TDs in three seasons with the Buccaneers. Football is all about opportunity and timing, Benn said. The next guy has to step up and have that nextguy mentality. You have to know what you have to do and do it. Momah, a 6-foot-7 receiver out of Boston College, hasnt played since tearing a knee ligament in the rst game of his senior year in 2011.

BALTIMORE Art Donovan, the lineman whose hilarious stories about his football career enabled him to maintain his popularity long after his election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, died Sunday night. He was 89. Donovan died at 7:20 p.m. at Stella Maris Hospice in Baltimore, according to Kevin Byrne, senior vice president of public and community relations for the Baltimore Ravens. Donovan made a name for himself as a feisty defensive tackle for the Baltimore Colts, helping the team to world championships in 1958 and 1959. He also spent single seasons with the New York Yanks and Dallas Texans in a career that lasted from 1950 through 1961. We lost a friend, one of the nest men and one of the greatest characters we were fortunate to meet in this community and in this business, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said. Baltimore is now without one of its best and

someone who was a foundation for the tremendous popularity of football in our area. The world is not as bright tonight because we lost someone who could make us all smile. Voted into the Hall of Fame in 1968, Donovan was an outstanding lineman and an even better storyteller. Long after his career was over, Donovan made a living on the talkshow circuit, weaving yarns about the NFLs good old days as he put it, When men were, well, men. Donovan was much like Bob Uecker, who also became popular on late-night talk shows through his stories about sports. But Ueckers game was baseball, and his schtick dealt with his limited abilities. Donovan performed on the football eld as well as anyone at his position, even though he once said the only weight he ever lifted was a beer can. Some of the greatest football ever played by a defensive tackle was played by Art Donovan, said Hall of Fame center Jim Ringo, who died in 2007. He was one of the greatest people I played against all my life.

Miserable season continues for Hamlin

LONG POND The ninth starting spot hasnt produced a winner in 71 previous races at Pocono and wouldnt again Sunday in the GoBowling.com 400. Denny Hamlin smacked the turn three wall on Lap 14, causing extensive damage to his No. 11 Toyota. The ninth starting spot is the only position in the top 10 where a driver hasnt won here. Our car was a handful, Hamlin said. We were trying to ght through it until the competition caution, but I was getting run over from behind and just holding up trafc. Hamlin, a four-time winner at Pocono, nished 43rd. It was his worst nish at the track in 16 races and continued his season of bad luck where he will fail to make the Chase for the rst time in his eight-year career. Weve been qualifying OK, but as soon as we get in trafc and the race starts we go dead backwards and loose, Hamlin said. So weve been ghting that a lot. Just a very frustrating season. TOO EARLY: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. got the worse of a three-car accident on Lap 1 as the rear of his No. 17 Ford was torn up extensively. He returned to the track, completed 113 laps and nished 34th. I was just thinking to myself on that pace lap that before we went green I was kind of hoping everyone I thought about him on my way up here on Friday, Kahne said. The last time I was here, he ew with me here and then ew back with me. It was just me and him, and we spent a bunch of time together. Then that happened that Wednesday, so it was tough. LIKE JUNE: Kyle Busch had a race similar to the June event, where he nished sixth. He placed eighth Sunday and was good, but just not good enough to challenge for a victory. We were just a little bit off today, Busch said. It seemed like we could get going good on restarts and it would drive well for a few laps, then we couldnt keep up as well on the long run. TIED FOR SECOND: Sundays race was the 54th time Mark Martin has raced at Pocono, tying him with Terry Labonte for the second-most starts at the track. Retired Ricky Rudd tops the list with 55 races. Martin nished 18th and for the rst time in his career nished out of the top 10 at Pocono for three consecutive races. He was 19th in June and placed 12th last August. I had a pretty decent racecar and had some brake issues, Martin said. We made big gains from last week and from Friday. Martin has raced only three times in the last seven races since the Pocono race in June, but the 54-year-old left with a good feeling. I think were headed in a nice, positive direction and hopefully we can keep that going, Martin added.

would stay in line since we havent had much track time this weekend, Stenhouse Jr. said. It didnt play out like that, though. Stenhouse Jr. placed

blame on the accident on Juan Pablo Montoya, who ran into the rear of his Ford. REMEMBERING A FRIEND: Kasey Kahne mentioned the late Jason

Lefer shortly after his victory Sunday. Lefer raced here in June and was killed three days later in a sprint car crash at Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey.

Lap highlights from Kasey Kahnes victory in Sundays NASCAR Sprint Cup GoBowling.com 400 at Pocono Raceway. LAP 1 Three-car pile-up in turn one as Juan Pablo Montoya clips the rear of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Matt Kenseth is also involved. LAP 5 Restart with Jimmie Johnson leading. Stenhouse Jr. is the only driver off the track. LAP 14 Caution as Denny Hamlin hits the wall. LAP 16 Several drivers pit under caution. Johnson and a few other frontrunners stay out and Johnson leads when the race resumes. LAP 17 Joe Nemechek is the first start-and-park driver off the track. LAP 35 Johnson pits under green, surrendering the lead to Brad Keselowski. LAP 40 Kurt Busch has the lead followed by Kasey Kahne and Jeff Gordon. Johnson, who is on another put sequence, is 18th but working through the field. LAP 47 Johnson is back out front as drivers cycle through green-flag pit stops. Kenseth is assessed a penalty for speeding on pit road. LAP 53 Caution as David Gilliland hits the wall. After pitting under yellow, Keselowski has the lead followed by Kahne and Gordon. Keselowski didnt pit while Johnson pitted and took four tires. LAP 57 Restart with Keselowski leading. Johnson is 13th. Tony Stewart was 15th, but penalized for being too fast on pit road and starts at the rear of the field. LAP 75 Johnson shreds his right front tire coming out of turn one and slaps the wall. He was leading at the time. LAP 82 Restart just past the midway point with Kahne leading followed by Keselowski, Gordon, Dale

Johnson
From page 1B It just exploded, Johnson said of the tire after the race. Im not really sure what caused it. But late off of turn one, it just exploded, and that was it. I hit the wall so hard that knocked a spark plug wire off the spark plug and I was running on seven cylinders. They were able to nd the right plug and get everything hooked back up, and the engine took off. Off we went, and salvaged a very nice nish. Thats an understatement, given the situation. Though he initially dropped almost 30 spots, Johnson managed to stay on the lead lap to start the comeback. And at the end of the day, Johnson actually added to his points lead. He ended up edging out his closest competitor, Clint Bowyer, by one spot on Sunday and now leads Bowyer by 77 points headed into next weeks race at Watkins Glen. I know Jimmie had an issue, or I think he would have nished in the top ve, too, said fellow Hendrick driver Jeff Gordon, who took second. Thats a safe bet. That tire might have cost Hendrick a clean sweep on Sunday as Kahne, Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were running 1-2-3 before two late caution ags pushed Earnhardt down to fth. Last week at Indianapolis, all four Hendrick drivers nished in the top seven, with Johnson narrowly missing the victory to wind up in second. When they start rolling, third-place nisher Kurt Busch said, its a tough steamroller to slow down. And Johnson, the vetime Cup champion, is right at the forefront. As another example of his performance this season, Sunday was the rst time Johnson nished outside the top 10 in the last six races. Jimmie and (crew chief Chad Knaus) do the best job of it each year, Kahne said. I feel like we

Daughter wants to shield her children from their toxic grandmother

Dear Abby: My mother and I were close growing up. However, when I was in college she abandoned the family for her much younger boyfriend. Since then, our relationship has been strained, particularly since I learned she used to tell her then-husband she was visiting me when she was carrying on her affair. Im married now and have two young children. Until a year ago we lived in the same city. Mom never came around much because she was preoccupied with finding new boyfriends to support her. She has since moved out of state and stalks me on Facebook, harassing me to get Skype

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE so she can talk to my children. My mother has never apologized for her actions to anyone and thinks we should just get over it. I want to protect my children from being hurt by her the way I was. I cant tell her outright that I dont want much to do with her for fear it will send her into an episode, and I dont want my kids caught in the crossfire. What should I do? Frustrated Daughter
Dear Daughter: Frankly, youll save yourself a lot of grief if you just tell your mother youre not getting Skype

and the reason why, and let her have her episode. As a parent, you have every right to insulate your children from anyone you feel might be a negative influence. Dear Abby: I have been dating my boyfriend for more than a year and we are considering marriage. I am 23 and have never been dissatisfied with the way I look. The other day he told my friend that when we get married and become financially stable, he would pay for a boob job for me. Im offended, mostly because I dont want one and dont think I need one. Do you think this speaks to his character? Not Going Under in Louisiana Dear Not Going Under: No, I think

it speaks to the degree he assumes he can control or make choices for you. That he would say something like that to one of your friends without having discussed it with you is rather disconcerting. I dont blame you for being offended. Dear Abby: I operate a small Internet radio station out of my house in Texas. On Saturday nights I usually do a live talk show. A topic I raise every year coincides with my birthday. I announce to all who are listening that I have designated this day as Mind Your Own Business Day. On this day, my listeners are reminded that if they disapprove of someones choice of mate, clothing, religion, favorite music, pets and anything else that may be personal

to keep it to themselves. Would you be willing to mention this in your column and help me spread the word that while everyone has a right to an opinion, it doesnt mean everyone should be forced to listen to it? Thanks in advance. Jim in Texas Dear Jim: Not only is your message succinct, your idea has merit. If more people followed your philosophy, it could eliminate a lot of conflicts, not to mention headaches.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your best will be better than enough. The important thing to remember today is not to get overwhelmed, because that mode is paralyzing. Stay positive and happy, and keep moving. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The basics of sleep, water and love are so familiar that it would be easy to take them for granted. But dont. You require plenty of all three now, so make sure to get all you need. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your loved ones may need more space than youre inclined to afford them. You cant help it that you have many reasons for constant contact. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The kind of people who will do anything to make a sale are more concerned with the sale than with the benefits they are providing to others. This kind of thinking never wins in the end. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The lines between dreams and reality are wonderfully blurred for you today. Of course, you can still see those lines, but it will be a bit like going to a movie. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You took action and your reasons were good. Now youll benefit from inaction. A wait-and-see approach will show your maturity. Restraint and wisdom are interlocking hands. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Small nuisances, like dripping water or piles of household mail, are dangerous if ignored. Handle the little things, and the big things will come together for you today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Loving another person makes you happy. The mere possibility that the other person loves you back is enough for now. This may be the sweet spot of a relationship: the moment of uncertainty and hope. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It takes a seasoned eye to see the potential in another persons talent and ideas. Today you will recognize in others the very things you have developed in yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your confident presence is more powerful than you mean it to be. Unless you encourage others to express their point of view, they may be too intimidated to be forthcoming with it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Believe it or not, there are times when its best to tone down your strong and attractive energy. You need rest and recuperation now, not more offers. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You enjoy many aspects of the status quo today. So dont go changing everything just yet. Better to savor what is awhile. You can always go back to pondering what could be later in the week. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 5). The gate doors to inspiration swing open. In September, your positivity keeps the team going. Note: Sometimes being positive means identifying potential trouble sources so you can steer clear. You may be the only one who sees a possible problem looming, so speak up. New relationships blossom in November. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 13, 28, 22 and 19.
