An attorney for juvenile de-
tention center operator PA
Child Care and related entities
has filed a court motion oppos-
ing the proposed $17.75 mil-
lion settlement of the kids for
cash lawsuits reached with es-
tate developer Robert Mericle.
In a legal brief filed late
Wednesday, attorney Bernard
Schneider cites numerous rea-
sons why the settlement
should be rejected, including
claims that the agreement un-
fairly favors certain juvenile
plaintiffs over others.
Schneider also raises con-
cerns that some attorneys have
a conflict of interest that would
allow them to unfairly seek a
larger cut of the settlement for
juveniles they personally rep-
resented.
Attorneys are scheduled to
appear at 9 a.m. today before
U.S. District Judge A. Richard
Caputo, who will review the
settlement to determine if it
should be approved.
The settlement, reached last
month, would release Mericle

HARRISBURGThe manwho
cast the only vote opposing a
state reapportionment commis-
sions recommended state legis-
lative maps now says he will file
an appeal to the state Supreme
Court asking adoption of the
maps be overturned.
And at least one local senator
says he will join in.
State Senate Minority Leader
Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills, Allegh-
eny County,
said the maps
were drawn
basedonpoliti-
cal advantage
rather than
whats in the
best interest of
residents. The
commission,
tasked by law
with redrawing
the boundaries
for thestates 50
Senate and 203
House seats,
was made up of
the leaders in
both the House
and Senate and
a senior Superi-
or Court judge,
who is a Repub-
lican, giving the
GOP a 3-2 edge
on the panel.
We have se-
rious concerns
about the redis-
tricting proc-
ess. The goal of
maintaining
one-person,
one-vote was
clearly not a priority. Political
gain was the priority. We must
follow what the state Constitu-
tion dictates, and that is to keep
counties and municipalities
whole unless absolutely neces-
sary. They cant be sliced and
diced to help candidates win re-
election. The voters deserve bet-
ter, Costa said.
Sen. John Yudichak, D-Ply-
mouth Township, said he will
lend his name and support to the
appeal and he expects most, if
not all, of his Democratic col-
leagues in the Senate to do the
same.
He said hes aware such an ap-
peal is an uphill battle but said
its the right thing to do for all
constituents.

POLICE BLOTTER
Communication snafu
blamed for ticketing
KINGSTON Council mem-
bers heard comments from the
public at Tuesday nights meet-
ing about a communication
breakdown within the boroughs
police department that resulted
in police ticketing vehicles that
were parked with the drivers
side facing the curb.
Chief Keith Keiper described
a meeting in which he explained
to fellow officers that cars were
to be ticketed beginning in
January and once proper notice
was given to the public. After
that meeting, a gap in communi-
cation occurred that resulted in
several residents receiving $15
citations, he said.
Bill Manley, who has lived on
First Avenue since 1984, said
this is the first time he had been
ticketed for having the drivers
side of his vehicle facing the
curb.
What can council do to ad-
dress the needs of people who
were ticketed? Manley asked.
There was no warning, no
notice.
We cant abolish tickets that
were issued. They were issued
because you were parked the
wrong way, said Municipal
Administrator Paul Keating.
Solicitor Harry Mattern echoed
Keating, explaining that it is not
within the power of the board to
expunge those tickets that were
already given out.
Council President Sandra
Kase said anyone who feels they
were wrongly ticketed in the
last few weeks is encouraged to
contest the tickets at the munic-
ipal building.

Some residents upset
by new access road
PLYMOUTH TWP. The
survey of the Tilbury Terrace
access road will be completed
and up for review within the day
or two, Supervisor Joseph Yud-
ichak said at the supervisors
meeting Tuesday night.
Yudichak also said the roads
around the terrace need to be
wider by 1 foot on each side.
Several residents were upset
by the prospect of the new ac-
cess road. Supervisor Gale Con-
rad responded by saying that
since the government would be
paying for the Tilbury Terrace
road repairs, the township must
abide by the rules and regu-
lations that are set by the Feder-
al Emergency Management
Agency.
Tilbury Terrace resident Jan-
ice Leiby expressed concern
about the wildlife in that area,
and how it would be affected by
the access road. Part of the
study to determine if the access
road will be built includes a
wildlife study, said Disaster
Recovery Manager Marty Alt-
man, who also stated the road is
built on sand and is getting
worse by the day.
Roads Department foreman
Ray Everetts said Tilbury Ter-
race needs repair, and he asked
residents to think about what
would happen if the road were
to open up or the nearby creek
were to overflow.
Another Tilbury Terrace resi-
dent, Shirley Balliet, said that
she would feel much safer
knowing that there would be
two separate ways in and out (of
the area) in case of an emergen-
cy.

Nuangolas sewer line
worries Rice residents
RICE TWP. Residents on
Tuesday night voiced concern
with Nuangola Boroughs re-
vised plan for a proposed sewer
line that would run through the
township and on to the Moun-
taintop Area Joint Sewer Au-
thority plant in Dorrance Town-
ship.
The state Department of
Environmental Protection re-
jected the original route for
several reasons but mainly due
to an approximately 40-50-year-
old, 4-inch forced main at the
pump station at an Interstate 81
southbound rest stop. Signif-
icant wetlands were also a fac-
tor, as well as time constraints
for grant funding.
Under the revised plan, the
line will run along Blythburn
Road, from Stairville Road to
Prospect Road in Rice Town-
ship. The main concerns are of
blasting through rock, if neces-
sary, that may have an effect on
the structure of the Blythburn
Lake Dam, possible contam-
ination of private wells, and
private on-lot septic systems.
The township supervisors
approved a motion that no blast-
ing will occur in Rice Township
without prior notification from
Nuangola Borough and with
Rice Township supervisors
approval.

Council removes sewer
authority chairman
NUANGOLA By a 4-3 vote
along prevailing political lines,
borough council removed John
Kochan as a member of the
sewer authority and replaced
him with Councilman Theodore
Ted Vancosky.
The action was strictly along
the partisan affiliation that
Regina Plodwick, council chair-
woman, enjoys as she, newly
elected Councilwoman Elaine
Donohue, Tony Deluca and
Vancosky voted to oust Kochan,
who had been serving as chair-
man of the authority and had
been associated with the panel
for five years.
After the meeting, Kochan
said he wasnt surprised by the
vote but he remains concerned
that the majority of council
doesnt totally appreciate the
gravity of the current situation
in which Nuangola is pressed by
the state Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection to get the
sewer project under way in the
spring of 2012 and have it com-
pleted by the end of 2012.
Also at risk is a proposed $3
million grant from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
Rural Develop Division, which
represents a major portion in
the financing of the project
which has escalated to over $9
million, according to informa-
tion contained in a letter from
Rich Kresge of Quad3 Engi-
neers.
At the recommendation of
solicitor Jack Dean, council
agreed to advertise a loan guar-
antee with Fulton Bank in the
amount of $5.5 million.
In response to Kochan com-
ments, Vancosky said he has the
best interests of Nuangola and
its citizens at heart. He said he
hopes to avoid some of the
mistakes that were made in the
past.
In the election of council
leaders, Plodwick was re-elected
chairwoman, Deluca was elect-
ed vice chairman; Vancosky,
president pro-tem and Melissa
Weber, secretary/treasurer;
Dean was retained as solicitor;
Steve Bierlya as zoning officer
and Alfred Benesch Engineers of
Pottsville as engineer.
Other appointments were:
David Stout, 3-year term on the
planning commission; Joseph
Chalk, to a 3-year term on the
zoning hearing board and Con-
rad Plodwick to a 3-year term as
an alternate on the zoning hear-
ing board.

officer under fire
SHICKSHINNY Rosalie
Whitebread was retained as
president of borough council at
a reorganizational meeting
Tuesday night that also saw
Rick Harmon, zoning officer,
come under fire from a busi-
nessman who charged that
Harmon is fighting the people
instead of working with them.
Pete Long, who owns a struc-
ture along Main and Union
streets, which was inundated by
flood waters in September and
that once served as the site of
the Racusins Store, complained
to council that Harmon has
been making it difficult for him
to secure permits in order to
proceed with repairs that Long
estimated will cost $396,000.
Councilman Mike Steeber
was able to reach Harmon by
telephone and arranged a meet-
ing between Long, Harmon and
council members on Tuesday at
5 p.m.
Besides, Whitebread, Jim
Wido was elected as vice presi-
dent; Barry Noss as president-
pro tem; Melissa Weber, secre-
tary-treasurer; attorney Jeff
Malak, solicitor and Dale Hess

Casey backs care workers
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, is
urging Community Health Systems,
the Tenn.-based company that recently
purchased Moses Taylor Hospital in
Scranton and Mid-
Valley Hospital in
Peckville, to protect
hospital employees
and ensure jobs are
not lost as a result of
the sale.
In a letter sent to
Wayne Smith, the
president and CEO of
CHS, Casey expressed his hope that
CHS will invest in the work force of
Northeastern Pennsylvania to protect
the local economy and the level of care
the hospitals are able to provide.
Tomi Galin, a CHS corporate spo-
keswoman, said that since acquiring
Berwick Hospital in 1999, 16 hospitals
have become CHS-affiliates.
In every case, we have honored our
commitment to preserve and expand
essential health services for the com-
munities we serve, she said. Each
hospital offers competitive wages,
benefits and professional advancement
opportunities. In our most recent ac-
quisitions, commitments were made to
hire all active employees in good stand-
ing, at the same rate of pay, with se-
niority recognized.

WILKES-BARRE A Swoyersville
man sentenced 12 years ago for assault-
ing a police officer and sexually assault-
ing a woman had his sentenced over-
turned by a higher court. On Thursday
he was resentenced to a stiffer sentence
of 6 1/2 to 13 years in jail.
John Jescavage, 47, of McHale Street,
was sentenced on the two 12-year-old
cases, and a more recent one in which
police say he posted nude photos of a
woman on an adult website. He also was
ordered to register as a sex offender un-
der Megans Law for the rest of his life.
He was also sentenced by Senior
Judge Joseph Augello to one year proba-
tion and received credit for more than
five years of time already served.
Jescavage, a former U.S. Marine,
Pennsylvania National Guardsman and
state corrections officer, had been
chargedinNovember1999 withsexually
assaulting a woman four months earlier.
ThewomantoldpoliceJescavagewas in-
side her home and attempted to have
sexual intercourse with
her.
Jescavage then as-
saulted her, according
to court papers.
In February 2000,
Jescavage was charged
after police said he left
a hearing inside a dis-
trict judges courtroom
in Hanover Township
on charges he tried to
rape his former girl-
friend.
Jescavage and the officer struggled,
with Jescavage getting a hold of the offi-
cers weapon. Police said Jescavage held
the gun to the officers head.
Jescavage was originally sentencedon
charges of aggravated indecent assault
and aggravated assault in October 2000
to five to 10 years in prison.
He later filed post-convictions mo-
tions, citing ineffective counsel, but
those motions were denied by a Luzerne
County judge.
Jescavage appealed that judges order
to the state Superior Court inNovember
2003.
One year later, the high court over-
turned Jescavages sentence and sent his
case back to county court for a newtrial.
The high court said it was granting his
appeal because of ineffective counsel
and entering an involuntary and un-
knowing guilty plea.
The case had been delayed over the
years by continuances and requests to
dismiss the charges based on the double
jeopardy claim.
In September 2011, Jescavage re-en-
teredhis guiltyplea tothetwocases, and
a guilty plea to the most recent case
Thursday.
In that case, police said on Aug. 2,
2011, a woman who had once dated Jes-
cavage told police he posted nude pho-
tos of her on an adult web site, swinglife-
style.com. The woman said she feared
for her safety because the profile listed
her address.
Jescavage apologized for his crimes
and for the embarrassment and shame
he has caused himself and his family.
I will work the rest of my life to atone
for what I have done, Jescavage said.

WILKES-BARRE Pauline Bailey
arrived at the Luzerne County Cour-
thouse on Thursday morning hoping
request the new district attorney, Ste-
fanie Salavantis, reopen the investiga-
tioninto the 2004 disappearance of her
daughter, Phylicia Thomas.
She never got the chance.
I was told she wasnt there and she
had no time, said Bailey, who felt she
got the runaround by being referred to
the county detectives bureau and then
tothe state police. Salavantis couldnot
be reached later Thursday for com-
ment.
Bailey, of Nanticoke, and a small
group of family and friends celebrated
what would have been Thomas 30th
birthday. What better day to request a
renewed effort to find Thomas than on
her birthday, Bailey
said.
We would like the
new district attorney
to look into anything
she can, said family
friend Kelly Gower.
Eight years is waytoo
long. All we want is Phylicia back.
Thomas has been missing since she
disappeared from her Lake Township
home Feb. 11, 2004. Another young
woman from Lake Township, Jennifer
Barziloski, was reported missing when
she was last seen outside an Edwards-
ville tavern in June 2001.
Bailey said she feared Thomas was
the victim of foul play because she be-
lieved Barziloski was killed by a man
known to both women.
It really bummed her out, and she
was confident she was going to find
Jen, Bailey said. I think she pushed it
too far and here we are.
Ahuman skull found in a wooded ar-
ea near Roaring Brook Drive on April
2, 2010, was identified as Barziloskis
through dental records, state police
said.
Troopers actively searched the area
after the skull was found but turned up
no more evidence to her disappear-
ance.
Bailey saidshe believes the skull was
not washed downstream but was
thrown from a vehicle.
The area where the skull was found
is near the former residence of Steve
Martin, whostate police saidwas a per-
son of interest in the disappearances of
both women.
Martin was reportedly the last per-
son to be seen with Barziloski outside
the tavern, and was friends with Tho-
mas boyfriend. Martin was never
charged with their disappearances. He
took his own life while jailed in state
prison in August 2005, shortly after he
was sentenced for causing a deadly
wreck in Wilkes-Barre.
Bailey said she feels investigators
gave up searching for Thomas when
Martin committed suicide.
A candlelight vigil for Thomas is set
for 5:30p.m. Feb. 11at thepavilionnear
the pond in Kirby Park, Wilkes-Barre.

DALLAS TWP. Residents are
concernedabout thecommunica-
tion between Williams Field Ser-

regarding activity at a recently
constructed natural gas pipeline
located off Lower Demunds
Road.
Households near the site re-
ceived a letter Wednesday saying
construction was about to end
and that natural gas would be
flowing through the line within
the next fewdays.
Williams communications spe-
cialist Helen Humphreys, who
said she delivered letters to every
household on Fairground Road
and to many on Lower Demunds
Roadthatareincloseproximityto
the work, also said she notified
the Luzerne County Emergency
Management Agency, UGI Utili-
ties, the Dallas School District
and the township engineer, zon-
ing officer and supervisors.
After two incidents along the
Springville Gathering Line with-
in the last five months, Fair-
ground Road residents concerns
reached a boil at a Dallas Town-
ship supervisors meeting Tues-
day.
In September, natural gas was
vented about nine miles away
from the Dallas Township site.
Concerned residents said they
couldsmell thegasandcalled911.
Residentsalsosaidthat onSun-

ing fromthe site and called 911to
ask what was happening.
Fairground Road resident Jane

ing to receive the letter so close
to the completion date.
Why couldnt they have said
something sooner? Tolomello
said Thursday. They were negli-
gent.

once the pipeline is flowing with
natural gas.
The communication could be

son, stated, Williams and Tran-
sco will first remove air from the
line andthenequalize the natural
gas pressures of the Springville
and Transco lines before gas can
flow freely through both lines.
Dickinson warned residents of
the potential for noise and a nat-
ural gas odor during the process.
He said the work will require
venting small amounts of natural
gas as the pressure in the lines is
equalized.
Dallas Township Emergency
Management Coordinator Jack
Dodson said he didnt believe the
work is any cause of concern for
residents.
This should not be a hazard-
ous incident, said Dodson on
Thursday. Its a normal, every-
day part of their operation.
Fairground Road resident Jane
Tolomello, who has been outspo-
ken against natural gas develop-
ment in the area, said Thursday
she plans to leave her house until
the pipeline work is completed.
Im not real comfortable with
the situation because this is the
first time theyre putting the gas
through the line, she said. Wil-
liams hasnt given us any reason
to feel comfortable.
Williams also is planning to
construct a metering facility near
the connection site off Lower De-
munds Road, which is about a
half mile from the Dallas School
District. The Dallas Township
Zoning Hearing Board is sched-
uled to issue a decision on the
metering station Jan. 12.
The Williams line is one of two
planned pipelines for the town-
ship. Chief Gathering LLC re-
ceived approval for construction
a 30-mile pipeline fromWyoming
County to tap into the Transco
line.
Chief was granted approval
with several conditions by the
zoning hearing board in Decem-
ber to build a metering station
about 500 feet fromthe proposed
Williams site. The company
plans to appeal a condition in-
volving the construction of a
fence around the facility at a zon-
ing hearing on Jan. 11.
The two projects have been
considered controversial be-
cause of their proximity to the
Dallas schools. Hearings for both
companies have been ongoing
for nearly a year, and several
changes to the township zoning
ordinance have resulted from
public protest against the gas
lines.

Chief defends fatal shooting
A
911 recording reveals the tense
moments in a Texas middle school
when police confronted an eighth-
grader who was brandishing a realistic-
looking pellet gun and repeatedly or-
dered him to put the weapon down.
After a confrontation, officers fatally
shot 15-year-old Jaime Gonzalez when
he refused their demands Wednesday
at Cummings Middle School in
Brownsville.
A six-minute recording of the 911 call
that summoned police was obtained
Thursday by the Brownsville Herald.
The weapon turned out to be a pellet
gun that closely resembled the real
thing. No one else was injured.
Gonzalezs parents demanded to
know why officers took lethal action.
Interim Police Chief Orlando Rodri-
guez said his officers acted to protect
themselves and other students, firing
three shots. There were few others in
the hallway at the time.
Shortly before the confrontation,
Jaime had walked into a classroom and
punched a boy in the nose for no appar-
ent reason, Rodriguez said.

2 dead in food plant slaying
Authorities in Augusta, Ga., say two
people are dead after a gunman fatally
shot someone, then killed himself in
the parking lot of a food processing
plant.
Sgt. Dan Carrier of the Richmond
County Sheriffs Office says investiga-
tors are still working to uncover what
prompted the shooting Thursday after-
noon at FPL Foods.
Carrier says the gunman had been
identified as 21-year-old Emanuel Jor-
dan, an employee at the plant. He de-
clined to identify the other person
killed or say what if any relationship
the victim had with the gunman.
Carrier said witnesses saw Jordan
fire several gunshots at the unidenti-
fied victim in the parking lot before he
shot himself.
TOKYO
He had (many) yen for tuna
This tuna is worth savoring: It cost
nearly three-quarters of a million dol-
lars.
A bluefin tuna caught off northeast-
ern Japan fetched a record 56.49 mil-
lion yen, or about $736,000, Thursday
in the first auction of the year at To-
kyos Tsukiji fish market. The price for
the 593-pound tuna beat last years
record of 32.49 million yen.
The price translates to 210,000 yen
per kilogram, or $1,238 per pound
also a record, said Yutaka Hasegawa, a
Tsukiji market official.
Though the fish is undoubtedly high
quality, the price has more to do with
the celebratory atmosphere that sur-
rounds the first auction of the year.
The winning bidder, Kiyoshi Kimura,
president of Kiyomura Co., which oper-
ates the Sushi-Zanmai restaurant chain,
said he wanted to give Japan a boost
after last Marchs devastating tsunami.

BAGHDAD An apparently coordi-
nated wave of bombings targeting Shiite
Muslims killed at least 78 people in Iraq
on Thursday, the second large-scale as-
sault by militants since U.S. forces pulled
out last month.
The attacks, which bore the hallmarks
of Sunni insurgents, come ahead of a Shi-
ite holy day that draws hundreds of thou-
sands of pilgrims from across Iraq, rais-
ing fears of a deepening of sectarian
bloodshed. Rifts along the countrys Sun-
ni-Shiite faultline just a few years ago
pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war.
The bombings in Baghdad and outside
the southern city of Nasiriyah appeared
to be the deadliest in Iraq in more than a
year.
Thursdays blasts occurred at a partic-
ularly unstable time for Iraqs fledgling
democracy. A broad-based unity govern-
ment designed to include the countrys
main factions is mired in a political crisis
pitting politicians from the Shiite major-
ity now in power against the Sunni mi-
nority, which reigned supreme under the
dictatorship of Saddam Hussein.
Some Iraqis blame that political dis-
cord for the lethal strikes.
We hold the government responsible
for these attacks. They (the politicians)
are bickering over their seats and these
poor people are killed in these blasts,
said Baghdad resident Ali Qassim not
long after the first bomb went off.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Thursday an-
nounced a new defense strategy
that he says will make U.S. mil-
itary forces leaner in the com-
ing years while still maintaining
their global superiority.
In an unprecedented appear-
ance before the press corps at
the Pentagon, Obama unveiled
the broad outlines of a plan that
calls for a beefed-up military
presence in the Asian-Pacific re-
gion and investment in NATO
and other international partner-
ships to go along with U.S.
troop with-
drawals in Iraq
and Afghanis-
tan.
The tide of
war is reced-
ing, Obama
said, but the
question that
this strategy
answers is
what kind of
military we
will need after
the long wars
of the last dec-
ade are over.
The con-
tours of the
plan are not
surprising, and
follow Obamas highly public
plan to shift military spending
away from a combat-troop pres-
ence in the Middle East and
toward intelligence gathering,
surveillance and counter-terror-
ism efforts.
Obama is readying himself
for criticism of his commitment
to national security.
Republican presidential con-
tenders question the Democrat-
ic presidents national-security
policies and are likely to go af-
ter his budget-cutting plans for
the Pentagon.
Obama launched a pre-emp-
tive strike Thursday with an ar-
gument that, with resources so
scarce, Congress must stream-
line the military along with the
rest of the government.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis.
Largely overlooked in the na-
tional debate over hydraulic
fracturing, or fracking, to un-
lock underground gas and oil
supplies is the emerging fight
in the U.S. heartland over
mining frac sand.
Mining companies say the
work provides good jobs in ru-
ral areas, but some residents
fear the increase in mining
could harm human health and
the environment.
More and more people are
waking up to the fact that there
are difficulties with this mas-
sive explosion, said Pat Pop-
ple, a retired school teacher
and principal and anti-sand
mining activist.
U.S. frac sand producers sold
or used more than 6.5 million
metric tons of sand worth $319
million in 2009, according to
the U.S. Geological Survey.
Nearly three-fourths of frac
sand comes from the Midwest.
Activists fear fine silica dust
from the mines and plants will
make people sick, spoil the
landscape and contaminate
ground water.
Some counties in Minnesota
and Wisconsin have responded
to health and environmental
concerns by passing mining
moratoriums to buy time for
more study. Others are debat-
ingwhether tohit thebrakes on
further mine development.

wouldever be carriedout, if he is convict-
ed. A conviction would be followed by a
possibly lengthy appeals process that the
ailing Mubaraks lawyer would likely
draw out, and Egypts new rulers the
militaryhavethepower tovetoadeath
sentence.
Mubarak has been brought to every

troom cage where defendants are held,
alongside his two sons, former security

OnThursday, prosecutor Mustafa Kha-

That book youve been looking for to

Our economic fate foiled
by an unwise government
T
he American Indians fate as a nation
was tied to the herds of buffalo that
roamed this countrys grassy plains. So
vast were some of those herds, it was said
to have taken a man on horseback three
days to ride through one of them.
The Native Americans entire lives fol-
lowed this animal; they were known to
have found 77 uses for its hide-buckskin,
hair, tail, hoof, feet, horn and meat.
The Indians presence posed a problem
for paleface, and the buffalo had to go. Its
slaughter, almost to extinction, began. Our
government played a final role by laying
track for Pullman train cars, loaded with
paid sharpshooters, to enter the Plains and
complete the killing orgy. Thus, a proud,
thriving nation, deprived of its treasure,
was brought to its knees and transformed
to pawns of the state and casino operators.
Now, our nation is being transformed
and its treasure of trillions of dollars,
earned by achievers, plundered. Our gov-
ernment ruled that the have-nots, who
could not afford a home, should own one,
and the economy was brought to its knees.
Scapegoats included George Bush, Wall
Street and Republicans. Sheesh!
In hoc anno Domini, (in this year of
the Lord), allegiance to the god of state
and Lady Gaga seem to prevail.

AS A predictor, the Iowa
Republican presidential
caucuses did the job. They
identified two candidates,
Rep. Michele Bachmann
and Texas Gov. Rick Perry,
who can now focus on
whether their plane tickets to New Hamp-
shire and South Carolina are refundable.
Another, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick
Santorum, is on the path to the Republican
primary version of Miss Congeniality, the
vaunted Most Likely to Get a Show on Fox
News crown. Did the caucuses identify the
nominee? Not so much.
But the caucuses also finally kicked off
the presidential election season. Political
junkies are now like NFL fans after a three-
year run of exhibition contests: Just as
there is a limit to how many times you can
watch meaningless games where passes
bounce off the chests of slow, undersized
rookies from Eastern South Dakota State,
you can only listen to Perry and Bachmann
wax illiterate on the great questions of the
day for so long.
So now it is genuinely on, like Donkey
(elephant) Kong, and the experts are pars-
ing Iowa results like physicists splitting
atoms: If you look at male caucus-goers
aged 20-21 in the southwestern, more rural
area of Pottawattamie County, you can see
he voted for Santorum. His name is Bob.
What they arent doing is talking about the
most fascinating aspect of this election.
Ron Paul, who came a close third in Io-
wa, strikes at least a minor chord with
nearly everyone, on one issue or another.
What you hear people voice, again and
again, is, Im not saying he should be presi-
dent. Im just saying he kind of makes sense
when you listen to him.
I wont assess the racist and anti-Semitic
newsletters from Pauls past here. They are
horrific, and matter greatly, but discussing
whether they should keep Paul from being
president is like debating whether Newt
Gingrichs bad attitude should disqualify
him from being Americas Next Top Mod-
el. Regardless, theyre not landing the gigs.
Paul first ran for president in 1988, ap-
pearing on the ballots of 46 states as the
Libertarian Party nominee. He got 432,179
votes out of about 91 million cast, meaning
his views were only slightly more popular
than the veal entree at a dinner sponsored
by People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals. But look at what people are say-
ing now. Whats morphed certainly isnt
Paul, who hasnt changed his tune since
they invented the Victrola. Its the voters
who have changed, and the establishment
candidates have not.
Paul wants to talk about decriminalizing
drugs. Even in studies conducted by scary
federal employees ringing doorbells and
asking stunned, possibly stoned, residents,
Have you ever smoked pot? more than 40
percent of Americans say yes. More and
more folks are coming to believe the war
on drugs is just a shockingly expensive
attack on the people of the United States.
Yet no serious candidate discusses decrimi-
nalization.
Paul wants to talk about the wisdom of
borrowing money from China to disburse it
to other countries. Were the worlds sad
parent, using cash advances we cant afford
to spoil allies with those sweet new weap-
ons that theyve been craving. Yet no viable
candidate discusses a wholesale reappraisal
of our foreign policy.
Paul suggests that operating more than
700 foreign military bases doesnt buy us
love, or peace of mind, or even peace. More
Americans are coming to believe a world-
wide military empire isnt affordable, or in
our best interests. Yet no mainstream can-
didate is willing to discuss a significant
rethinking of our military spending.
The lesson of the Ron Paul candidacy is
that were now at a point where the willing-
ness to speak honestly about meaningful
issues automatically disqualifies you as a
serious candidate to lead the nation.
Paul wont be president, and shouldnt
be. His belief in a sort of Darwinian society
in which the elderly, least able and less
fortunate get no help from the government
appeals to hardly anyone. But whoever is
elected ought to respect, and even adopt,
some of his points along with the candor
and consistency with which he makes
them.

COMMENTARY
L A N E F I L L E R
L
ESS THAN A decade
ago, oil cost less than
$30a barrel anddrivers
pumped $1.50-a-gallon
gasoline into their vehicles.
While those good old days
arent likely to return, several
notable events in 2011 showed
its time for Americans to
changeat least someof their old
ways of thinking about oil.
That was then: Anythreats to
petroleum supplies from the
MiddleEast will result inimme-
diately soaring prices. This is
now: Fromthecivil war inLibya
tolast weeks warningfromIran
that it would close down the
Strait of Hormuz, 2011 brought
a number of events that could
have spiked the cost of crude.
Yet oil finished the year at
$100 a barrel. A big part of the
reason for the relative stability:
Demand remained tamped
down in America and Europe
because of their continued eco-
nomic problems. In addition,
the more stable Middle East
countries such as Saudi Arabia
insisted on pumping out
enough oil to meet demand.
That was then: U.S. automak-
ers will resist programs toboost
fuel efficiency. This is now: In
mid-2011, President Barack
Obama announced a deal with
auto companies to essentially
double the average fuel econo-
my standard for domestically
produced vehicles to 54.5 miles
a gallon by 2025.
The eventual production of
tens of millions of more effi-
cient cars and sport utility vehi-
cles will save billions of gallons
of fuel.
That was then: American au-
tomobile companies are shrink-
ing dinosaurs. This is now: The
big news locally was Fords an-
nouncement of a $1.1billion ex-
pansion of its Claycomo auto-
motive plant and the eventual
addition of 1,600 jobs.
Its encouragingat thestart of
2012 to see some positive news
about oil supplies, gasoline
prices and the improved for-
tunes of U.S. auto companies.

OTHER OPINION: NEW ATTITUDES
Welcome steps
on fuel efficiency
B
E POLITE.
Dont call a person names that are naughty or silly.
Look a person in the eye while he or she is talking to
you.
During group discussions, sit at the table with your peers and
try not to fidget.
Listenattentively for as long as a personis speaking to you; try
not to interrupt or avert your attention to your cell phone, your
wristwatch or someone elses conversation.
If you disagree with what a person says, remain respectful.
Dont roll your eyes or otherwise be dismissive.
Remember to say please and thank you.
While this advice sounds elementary the kind of thing a kin-

dergartenteacher tries to ingraininpupils during the first weeks
of a school year the lessons bear repeating for all those mem-
bers of Luzerne Countys newly reorganized city and borough
councils, townshipsupervisor panels andschool boards. For that
matter, it also applies to the11women and men who, as of Jan. 2,
collectively make up Luzerne Countys first county council.
Area residents attuned to the news know, for example, that
Wilkes-Barres city council meetings at times last year drifted to-
ward the absurd: council members seemingly more obsessed
with counting the minutes allotted to public speakers than hear-
ing what they had to say, personality clashes, cupcake tossing.
This nonsense further erodes peoples confidence in our local
governments, already shaken in recent years by many incidents
of public corruption. It also distracts fromthe issues that matter.
Luzerne County, its communities andits schools face financial
and other challenges in 2012; debating how best to meet those
challenges will naturally result in dissention and discord. Under-
standably, upset constituents will sometimes vent.
But true leaders those deserving of our votes in the future
will disagree witheachother andtheir detractors without resort-
ing to boorish behavior. Thats what distinguishes them as lead-
ers.
As for the others, well, they should resign frompublic office or
get booted by voters at the next opportunity. If they cant repre-
sent without constant rancor and theatrics, our local govern-
ments dont need them.
Thank you very much.

From $275,000 to $595,000
The state Supreme Court on
Thursday issued an order that
ends its oversight of the Lu-
zerne County court system that
resulted out of the juvenile jus-
tice scandal.
The county court system had
been under scrutiny by the high
court since February 2009,
when it appointed Senior Berks
County Judge
Arthur Grim
as a special
master to re-
view thou-
sands of cases
that had been
handled by for-
mer Judge
Mark Ciavarella between 2003
and 2008.
Ciavarella was sentenced in
August to 28 years in prison for
illegally accepting $2.8 million
from the builder and owner of
two juvenile detention centers
that were utilized by the county.
Grim found that Ciavarella
routinely violated the constitu-
tional rights of juveniles, includ-
ing the right to legal counsel
and the right to intelligently en-
ter a plea. At Grims recommen-
dation, the justices in 2009 ex-
punged the records of 2,251 ju-
venile offenders.
Grim also presided over the
disbursement of a special com-
pensation fund that was set up
to pay restitution to persons
who were the victims of crimes
committed by juveniles whose
records were expunged.
All Pennsylvanians owe
Judge Grim a debt of gratitude
for helping coordinate unprece-
dented cooperation among all
three branches of state govern-
ment in bringing about a fair
resolution to a miscarriage of
justice that affected so many ju-
veniles, their families and the
community at large, Chief Jus-
tice of Pennsylvania Ronald D.
Castille said in a statement.
Luzerne County President
Judge Thomas Burke said the
high courts order was a mile-
stone for the county as it con-
tinues to bounce back from the
corruption scandal.
I believe the courts order
suggests our court in Luzerne
County has turned the corner
with regard to its administra-
tion of juvenile delinquency
matters, Burke said.
Burke noted he has also been
relieved of his obligation to file
monthly reports with the Su-
preme Court.
The court had directed the
county court to provide the re-
ports to show how it was ad-
dressing issues that arose from
the corruption scandal. The
court rescinded that require-
ment as of October.
State ends oversight of county court system
Work of Senior Berks County
Judge Arthur Grim as a
special master is praised.

SCRANTON Attorneys
representing juveniles in the
kids for cash lawsuits have
asked a federal judge to find
attorney Robert Powell and the
two juvenile centers he once
co-owned liable for damages
prior to the case going to trial.
In court papers filed Thurs-
day, attorney Daniel Segal of
Philadelphia claims that pre-
trial evidence gathered shows
that Powell knew or should have
known that money he paid to
former Luzerne County Judge
Mark Ciavarella would lead
Ciavarella to improperly in-
carcerate youths at the PA Child
Care and Western PA Child Care
juvenile detention centers he
once co-owned.
Powell pleaded guilty in 2009
to charges related to his pay-
ment of $772,500 to Ciavarella
and former Judge Michael Cona-
han. Prosecutors say the judges
extorted the money from Powell
based on threats they would
stop sending juveniles to his
centers if he didnt pay.
Segal claims Powells payment
of the money to the judges set
in motion a series of acts by
Ciavarella that Powell should
have known would have led to
judge to violate constitutional
rights of juveniles who appeared
before him.
The motion seeks judgment
against Powell, PA Child Care,
Western PA Child Care and Mid
Atlantic Youth Services, which
provided treatment services at
the two juvenile detention facil-
ities.
Attorneys
want Powell,
centers liable
By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER
tmorgan@timesleader.com
from a series of class-action
lawsuits filed by juveniles who
allege they were incarcerated
as part of a scheme to enrich
former Luzerne County judges
Mark Ciavarella and Michael
Conahan and others. It does not
resolve claims pending against
others allegedly involved in the
scheme.
Schneider represents PA
Child Care and Western PA
Child Care, the two juvenile
centers at the heart of the scan-
dal, as well as Mid Atlantic
Youth Services, a related entity
that provided treatment servic-
es at the two centers.
Schneider acknowledges
that co-defendants in a case or-
dinarily have no standing to ob-
ject to a settlement with one or
more defendants. He argues his
clients should be permitted to
intervene in this instance be-
cause the Mericle settlement
prejudices their defense and
ability toreacha possible settle-
ment with the plaintiffs.
The bulk of the 47-page legal
brief focuses oninequities with-
in the settlement agreement
that Schneider claims would
unfairly benefit some of the ju-
veniles at the expense of others.
2,400 juveniles affected
The agreement, which is esti-
mated to affect 2,400 juveniles
who appeared before Ciavarella
between Jan. 1, 2003 and May
28, 2008, sets up four funds that
provide for varying payments
dependent upon individual cir-
cumstances.
Juveniles who were incarcer-
ated at PA or Western PA Child
Care would receive $5,000
each; those incarcerated at oth-
er facilities would receive
$1,000 while those who were
adjudicated delinquent but not
incarcerated would receive
$500.
There also is an enhanced
benefit fund that would allow
juveniles to seek additional
compensation based on various
factors, including the number
of times and length of their in-
carceration and degree of emo-
tional and/or educational dam-
age they suffered.
Schneider contends the en-
hancement fund is biased to-
ward the worst juvenile of-
fenders because they, by virtue
of their crimes, served more
time thanjuveniles convictedof
lesser crimes.
He cites the case of a juvenile
who raped his 8-year-old sister
and spent a substantial amount
of time at PA Child Care in Pitt-
ston Township undergoing
treatment. He will get substan-
tially more money thantwo oth-
er juveniles he cites who served
probation.
Schneider also faults a sec-
tion of the agreement that pro-
vides for an appeal process for
any juvenile who disagrees
with the decision of a claims
committee and special master
who will determine how much
each claimant is entitled to re-
ceive.
The agreement states those
hearings and all documents re-
lated to the hearings will be
confidential. That would pre-
clude a judge from reviewing
the decisions to ensure they
were just, Schneider said.
Favoritism allegation
Schneider further alleges the
distribution of the money
would favor juveniles who were
represented by attorney Barry
Dyller of Wilkes-Barre and the
law firms of attorney Sol Weiss
of Philadelphia and William R.
Caroselli of Pittsburgh.
According to Schneider, at-
torneys from the Caroselli and
Weiss firms are on the claims
committee, which would give
them inside knowledge of the
number of claims made against
the enhanced benefit fund.
Dyller, who was co-counsel
with Weiss, also would have an
unfair advantage in arguing for
his clients in the claims proc-
ess, Schneider contends.
Weiss could not be reached
for comment. Dyller and Caro-
selli said the claims are without
merit.
Its utter nonsense, Dyller
said. He can say anything he
wants Its just desperation on
that lawyers part.
JUVIE
Juveniles who were incarcerated at PA or Western PA Child Care
would receive $5,000 each; those incarcerated at other facilities
would receive $1,000 while those who were adjudicated delin-
quent but not incarcerated would receive $500.

his loss of his Senate seat.
Mitchell weighs in
Ed Mitchell, longtime Demo-
cratic political analyst and con-
sultant, said Santorum deserves
congratulations on his strong
showing in Iowa.
But his success will be short-
lived, Mitchell said. He doesnt
have the money or organization
to compete nationally. And his
politics dont fly well with the
mood of the American electo-
rate.
Mitchell predicted Santorum
will be able to move the GOP fur-
ther right, which will be good for
President Barack Obama, but he
wont win the nomination.
His showinginIowais ablipin
this years electioncampaign, he
said.
andhes workedhis tail off, Flack
said. Whenyoumeet himandsit
across from him, you are im-
pressed with his honesty and in-
tegrity.
Tom Baldino, Wilkes Universi-
typolitical science professor, said
Santorum was the beneficiary of
the GOPs war of attrition that
characterizes this years primary
season.
But I dont expect himtofinish
first in NewHampshire, he said.
Neither Baldino nor Carso see
Santorum as the GOP vice presi-
dential candidate.
Its possible but not probable,
Baldino said. Santorum didnt
invest a year of his life just to be
VP.
Carso was more direct.
I think Santorum will fade
within the next few primaries,
and there will be no compelling
reasonto have himonthe ticket,
Carso said. The only reason
wa will be Santorums high-water
mark.
Carso said Santorum will now
get the media andpolitical scruti-
ny that he has avoided while in
the back of the pack.
Addtothat his lackof national
organization and unfilled war
chest,Carsosaid. Andonemore
thing: Santorums message cen-
ters on social issues, while most
of the electorate, including Re-
publicans, consider the economy
the predominant issue. All of
these add up to Santorumhaving
no staying power.

He said he is continuing his
tireless campaigning, going to as
many towns to meet as many vot-
ers as possible. He said voters are
looking for a conservative cham-
pion.
Theyre looking for someone
who can articulate the base val-
ues of this country and not be
ashamed of it, Santorum said.
People want the opportunity to
work, and they believe in the dig-
nity of human life. They want to
be able to raise their family and
practice their faith. I was always
taught as a kid that you went to
church and take care of your fam-
ily first.

said Pennsylvania always will be

vote on Dec. 12 when the state
Legislative Reapportionment
Commission voted 4-1 to ap-
prove new borders. The new
maps will be in place for the
next decade starting with this
years election.
At that hearing, Costa said
the final plans were partisan
and Republicans were more
concerned with strengthening
their seats than being fair.
One key sticking point for
many who testified on the redis-
tricting was the number of mu-
nicipalities split among House
districts. Though there are 108
such cases in the approved map,
its fewer than the 121 that were
in that predicament the past
decade.
Locally, the final maps split
three municipalities among
multiple districts, including Ha-
zle, Wright and Hanover town-
ships. Earlier plans also includ-
ed splitting Plains, Pittston and
Bear Creek townships.
State Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-
Newport Township, would rep-
resent a district that includes all
three townships that are split.
He said that while he applauds
Sen. Costas spirit and tenaci-
ty, he has accepted the new
district and moved on and be-
gun to reach out to the resi-
dents in my new legislative ar-
eas.
Costa also has spoken out
against moving one Senate dis-
trict from southwestern Penn-
sylvania to Monroe County.
The appeal could be filed as
early as today, though by law
anyone wishing to file a legal
appeal has until Wednesday.
The state Supreme Court has
scheduled oral arguments for
appeals for Jan. 23.
The appeal hearing would be
held one day before those seek-
ing office can begin circulating
nominating petitions for office.
Those candidates must have
petitions filed before Feb. 15.
Erik Arneson, spokesman for
Senate Majority Leader Domin-
ic Pileggi, said the senator had
no comment on the possibility
of an appeal and referenced past
comments made by the senator
as to why he supported the final
plan. Among those was one
made at the hearing that a final
vote was taken when Pileggi
noted the final maps addressed
150 requests made by my
friend and colleague on the
commission, Sen. Costa.

NEW ORLEANS A few
months ago, when there were
rumblings that Virginia Tech
might be jumping to the South-
eastern Conference, Eddie Whit-
ley and his teammates got excit-
ed.
Everyone was like, Man, I
would love to play there! the
Hokies senior safety said, his
eyes lighting up. I was like,
Man, I wish I was a freshman
now!
The switch never happened.
Virginia Tech stayed put, at least
for the time being, in the Atlantic
Coast Con-
ference. But
Whitleys ac-
count sums
up what just
about every-
one else in
the nation
has been
forced to
concede: Love it or hate, no one
plays college football like the
SEC.
Look no further than Monday
nights BCS title game between
No. 1LSUandNo. 2Alabama. For
the first time under this format,
two teams from the same league
heck, the same division are
facing off in a no-lose situation
for the SEC. Before one strand of
confetti falls to Superdome floor,
the conference is assured of its
sixth straight national title. No
other conference has won more
than three in a row.
Youve got the best athletes in
the nation going to one confer-
ence, Whitley marveled. Alaba-
mas got linebackers that are 260,
270 (pounds). Our defensive
TACKLES are 270.
TheSECs dominancehas been
decades in the making.
Many point to the SECs revo-
lutionary decision in the early
1990s to expand from 10 to 12
teams, allowing it to become the
first conference to split into divi-
sions and set up its own cham-
pionship game. Other factors, ev-
erything from an exclusive na-
tional televisiondeal withCBSto
top coaches such as LSUs Les
Miles and Alabamas Nick Saban
to the abundance of high school
talent in the Deep South, help
keep the SEC on top year after
year.
But the real roots of the SECs
breakaway can be traced to the
turbulent 1960s, when the region
was ripped apart by the struggle
for civil rights andits universities
were still clingingtothe notionof
only letting whites through the
schoolhouse door.
In1966, Alabama posted a per-
fect 11-0 record with an all-white
team but still finished third in
The Associated Press poll behind
Notre Dame and Michigan State,
which had played to a 10-10 tie.
The feeling at the time, and one
that is even more apparent with
the hindsight of history, was that

Monday (ESPN)
SAN DIEGO The San Die-
go Chargers fired defensive co-
ordinator Greg Manusky after
just one year on the job on
Thursday and replaced him by
promoting linebackers coach
John Pagano.
Manusky is a Dallas High
School gradu-
ate where he
was a standout
linebacker in
the mid-1980s.
He was an All-
American line-
backer at Col-
gate and
played for 13
seasons in the NFL as a special
teams standout and linebacker
for the Washington Redskins,
Minnesota Vikings and Kansas
City Chiefs.
After he finished playing,
Manusky served as a lineback-
ers coach for his former coach
Marty Schottenheimer for six
years.
He held the position for one
season in Washington and five
in San Diego before joining the
49ers in 2006 where he was the
defensive coordinator for four
years.
Manusky interviewed for the
Carolina Panthers head coach-
ing position prior to this sea-
son.
The shakeout came four days
after the Chargers finished 8-8
and out of the playoffs for the
second straight year.
It also came two days after
coach Norv Turner and general
manager A.J. Smith were noti-
fied by team President Dean
Spanos that they will return
next season.
Manusky was hired away
from the San Francisco 49ers
last offseason to replace Ron
Rivera, who left to become head
coach of the Carolina Panthers.
Pagano spent the last 10 sea-
sons on San Diegos staff and
has coached linebackers since
2005.
According to several web-
sites, the firing came as no sur-
prise.
Bill Williamson, of espn.com,
wrote that the hiring of Manu-
sky was considered the biggest
mistake the team made in 2011
along with allowing running
back Darren Sproles to leave
and go to New Orleans as a free
agent.
However, this is not the first
time the Chargers have fired
one of Turners defensive coor-
dinators.
Pagano will be Tu0rners
fourth defensive coordinator in
six seasons in San Diego.

rebounds as Wilkes University
broke open a tie game at the
half by scoring 70 second-half
points to cruise to a 100-61 win
at Penn College in mens bas-
ketball Thursday night.
Wilkes (8-3) led by as many
as nine points midway through
the first half only to see the
host Wildcats storm back,
outscoring the Colonels 18-6 in
the paint to send the game to
the half tied 30-30.
Huch finished with 22
points, eight rebounds, and five
steals. Hinze was equally as
impressive in the middle add-
ing 22 points and 12 rebounds
for his second double-double of
the season. Jourdon Wilson
chipped in 11 points, while
Tyler Breznitsky poured in 10
points off the Colonel bench.
It marked the first time since
a 100-84 win over Baptist Bible
on Nov. 17, 2008, that the Colo-
nels reached the century mark
in a contest.

Second-half outburst
leads to Wilkes win
fense. We did have a couple of
more turnovers than we would
have liked(unofficially, 17 tothe
Comets 18).
Mia Hopkins had a dominat-
ing night all around, tallying six
assists, three steals and three
blocks as Crestwood tried ev-
erything it could to contain her.
Mia was making some crazy
hard shots, Comets coach
Isiah Walker said after Hopkins
had 19 points and seven re-
bounds in the first half on a va-
riety of short jumpers, layups
and spinning post moves. We
went box-and-one on her to try
to slow her down.
Crestwood was fine trading
field goals in the first half with
Pittston Area, but was not get-
ting opportunities at the line.
The Patriots had a 17-2 advan-
tage in attempts from the free-
throw line in the first half, ac-
counting for nearly all of Pitt-
ston Areas 46-33 lead at the
break.
They got all the free-throw
attempts and second-chance
baskets, Walker said. Im not
saying our girls didnt drive to
the basket just as hard, the calls
just didnt go our way. Im not
blamingthe refs, Pittstons just a
very good team.
After trailing by as many as17
in the first half, Crestwood cut
the Patriots lead to 52-41 with
three minutes remaining in the
third quarter on consecutive
threes by Rebecca Rutkowski
and Kayla Gegaris. But the
Comets would draw no closer.
We were playing their
game, Healey said of slowing
the pace in the second half. So
we decided to go out there and
take our time andtake control of
the game.
Hopkins big night was com-
plemented by Liz Waleski. The
freshman had 19 points and
eight rebounds, with 15 points
coming in the up-tempo first
half.
Liz is a great player, just com-
ing up as a freshman and start-
ing, Hopkins said. You can tell
she canput the ball inthe hoop.
Grace ONeill added14 points
for Pittston Area, and Allie Bar-
ber had four assists and four
steals as the Patriots won their
WVC Division 1 opener.
One game after Sarah An-
drews and Sydney Myers were
the top scorers for the Comets,
Gegaris (17points) andRutkow-
ski (16 points, eight rebounds)
were the top scorers for Crest-
wood, which is now 0-2 in Divi-

Bonner scored 17 points to
lead the San Antonio Spurs to
a 93-71 victory over the Dallas
Mavericks on Thursday night.
Richard Jefferson scored 16
points and Gary Neal added
12 for the Spurs, who limited
Dirk Nowitzki to six points on
3-of-11 shooting the Ger-
man stars lowest output since
he had five in a Dec. 18, 2009,
game that he left early be-
cause of injury.
Jason Terry scored 12
points and Delonte West had
10 to lead Dallas, which lost
point guard Jason Kidd to a
lower back injury with 24.7
seconds remaining in the first
quarter. Kidd, who appeared
to pull up, was replaced by
Vince Carter and didnt re-
turn.
Even Kidds presence might
not have mattered much with
the Mavericks hitting only 27
of 77 shots, including 1 of 19
from 3-point range.
San Antonio, which hit 16
of 33 shots from long range,
jumped out to an 18-point
lead in the first quarter. The
Spurs led 55-29 at halftime
behind 11-of-18 shooting from

Kings Chuck Hayes
dislocates left shoulder
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Sacramento Kings big man
Chuck Hayes has dislocated
his left shoulder and will be
out indefinitely.
Hayes extended his left arm
and fouled Milwaukee center
Drew Gooden in the second
quarter Thursday night. His
arm seemed to get tangled
with Gooden and his shoulder
popped out.
Hayes lay on the floor
writhing in pain for a few
minutes, the arena falling so
silent that his screams could
be heard from the sideline. He
walked off under his own
power holding his arm.
The team previously said a
heart exam on Hayes showed
an abnormality that would
require further testing and
voided the contract he signed
in December. A few days later,
the forward-center agreed to a
new deal with Sacramento.

Its been nearly three
months since the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins
faced the Rochester Ameri-
cans, so its understandable if
the memories have faded.
And that may not be a bad
thing.
Fresh of a stinging 5-1 loss
to Norfolk on Wednesday, the
Penguins face a Rochester
team tonight that is basically
a bunch of strangers. The
Americans are in a different
conference and this will be
the last time the two teams
face each other this season.
An unfamiliar foe may be
just what the Penguins need
to recover from the Norfolk
defeat.
Sometimes it is, said cen-
ter Ben Street. You just play
your game. Youre not as wor-
ried about theyre going to do
this and we need to do that.
When that happens its almost
too much of a chess match
and its so strategic that its
slow.
When you get a team like
Rochester who isnt in your
division you just have to go
play. Sometimes we thrive on
that.
The Penguins practiced at
the Mohegan Sun Arena on
Thursday and the effects from
the Norfolk loss were still evi-
dent. They spent much of the
morning watching video and
conducting meetings before
hitting the ice for an hour-
long practice.
What exactly did head
coach John Hynes tell his
players during the morning?
Well, it was pretty black and
white.
When you have a bad loss
there are reasons why. This is
what happened and this is
what has to get fixed, he said.
You have to come up with so-
lutions.
And that often means put-
ting the anger and emotions
aside.
At least that was the case on
Thursday.
You learn when the right
time to have emotion is and
isnt, Hynes said. Some-
times the right thing is to be
upset and show some emo-
tion, but its not every time.
You to manage the group and
manage yourself. At times it is
appropriate to be angry, but
not every game and not all
year long.
While the Penguins players
may not have seen much of
Rochester this season, Hynes
is well aware of whats in
store. He said the Americans
are a well-coached team un-
der the leadership of Ron Rol-
ston. They also have good vet-
eran leadership, Hynes said,
with a group that includes
Paul Szczechura, Shaone
Morrisonn and Colin Stuart.
Theyve improved from
the beginning of the year and
theyre hot on the road,
Hynes said, noting the Amer-
icans beat the AHLs top team,
Oklahoma City, on the road
last week. Well get a struc-
tured team thats going to
work hard.
Thats fine with Street be-
cause an unfamiliar foe pre-
sents a welcome change of
pace.
We see the Hersheys and
the Norfolks so often that its
so structured, he said. We
need to be sharp because we
havent seen them (Roches-
ter) much, but games like this
can be a lot of fun.
A H L
Unfamiliar foe just
what Pens need
Injury update
The Penguins got some
good news and bad news on
the injury front. Center Bryan
Lerg, who left Wednesdays
game in the second period
after being crushed into the
boards, should be back in the
lineup tonight, Hynes said. D
Alexandre Picard, who also left
Wednesdays game, will be out
for a while with an upper body
injury, he said.
D Joey Mormina
participated in his second
straight practice on Thursday
wearing a red no contact
jersey. Hynes said he isnt
ready to return but is getting
close.
D Carl Sneep will be out for
another week or two, Hynes
said.

KAPALUA, Hawaii Steve
Stricker is back on Maui, a famil-
iar place for a guy who has won
on the PGA Tour in each of the
last three years to qualify for the
season-opening Tournament of
Champions.
Not so familiar are some of the
guys hell be trying to beat.
Twelve players in the 28-man
field are at Kapalua for the first
time, more evidence of change on
the PGA Tour. A year ago, Strick-
er didnt knowwho most of them
were.
Keegan Bradley? He was
known more as the nephew of
LPGA great Pat Bradley until he
wontwotimes, includingthat un-
likelycomebackinAtlanta tocap-
ture the PGA Championship in
his first try at a major.
Jhonattan Vegas was the first
PGA Tour member from Vene-
zuela. Scott Stallings? Brendan
Steele?
I know them now a little bit,
Stricker saidThursday onthe eve
of the opening round.
The PGA Tour season gets un-
der way Friday. It wants to get
away from the NFL playoffs on
Sunday, so the final round will
end Monday just before the BCS
Championship game starts.
The Tournament of Cham-
pions will be missing 11 players
who didnt or couldnt make it to
Hawaii. Its the biggest list of no-
shows since this tournament
moved to Kapalua in 1999,
though its a product of the
changing world of golf.
Three of the players are reco-
vering from injuries, five of them
are based overseas and Luke Do-
nald, the No. 1 player in the
world, just finished a whirlwind
trip around the world that took
him deep into December. Like
many other players, this is his off-
season.
Thats not the only change.
Phil Mickelson and Tiger
Woods are no longer part of the
top 10 in the world ranking.
There are no Americans among
the top five in the world ranking
for the first time in nearly two
decades. And even without the
likes of U.S. OpenchampionRory
McIlroy, Masters champion
Charl Schwartzel or Martin
Kaymer in Hawaii, the young
guys are making a strong push.
There were 13 winners in their
20s last year, andnine of themare
at Kapalua
Theres beena transformation
of players out here, and it was go-
ing to happen eventually, said
Stricker, who turns 45 next
month.
We sawTiger andPhil slip out
of the top 10, and we have some
European players coming in
there.

both the Fighting Irish and the
Spartans were superior pro-
grams because they had African-
Americans players and faced
teams that allowed them on the
field, too.
There were athletes who
were qualified and capable and
had the ability to play in the SEC,
but they were not recruited be-
cause they were black, said Wil-
bur Hackett, a longtime confer-
ence referee who, in the late
1960s, became the first African-
American captain when he
played at Kentucky, persevering
through intense racial prejudice.
When it became clear that in-
tegration was inevitable, the SEC
finally tapped into a whole new
pool of talent, gaining the inside
track to huge numbers of immen-
sely qualified locals who had al-
ways beenforcedto signwithhis-
torically black schools or venture
far from home, to the Big Ten or
the Pacific Coast, if they wanted
to play at the highest level.
Today, every SEC roster is fil-
led with black players. Their in-
fluence on the game is undenia-
ble.
The league was strong, but it
could have been stronger if they
had integrated sooner, Hackett
said. Look at the Tennessee
States and the Jackson States
and the Gramblings, all the play-
ers from those schools that went
on to play in the NFL. Now, those
schools dont put players in the
NFLbecause all those players are
in the SEC.
Over the last 10 years, a stag-
gering 72 players from SEC
schools have been first-round
draft picks. The Big 12 is next on
the list, far behind at 51.
With Heisman Trophy winner
Cam Newton leading the way,
the SEC had five of the top six
picks in 2011. The odd man out
was Von Miller fromTexas A&M
which is joining the league
next fall.
Theres a lot of talent down
there and they do a good job of
coaching a lot of talent, said Al
Borges, the offensive coordinator
at Michigan who formerly
coached at Auburn. Thats all
there is to it.
Digging a little deeper, the em-
phasis on defense in the SEC has
largely fueled its rise to power
(34 of those 72 first-round picks
came from the less-heralded side
of the line). Not surprisingly, Ala-
bama and LSU are the nations
two best defensive teams, filled
with impact players such as
Crimson Tide linebacker Donta
Hightower and Tigers corner-
back Tyrann Honey Badger
Mathieu.
From the perspective of ESPN
analyst Todd Blackledge, it all
starts up front.
I really dont think they have
more speed at those skill posi-
tions on offense than the Big 12
or the Pac-12 or anyone else, he
said. But those defensive line-
men in the SEC, thats where the
difference is.
Blackledge points to last years
BCS title game, when Auburn sti-
fled high-powered Oregon 22-19
to claim the SECs fifth straight
championship. Offense may ex-
cite the fans, but teams such as
West Virginia (a 70-33 winner
over Clemson in the Orange
Bowl) and Oklahoma State
(which beat Stanford 41-38 in the
Fiesta Bowl) didnt qualify for
the biggest game of all.
Rest assured, defense still wins
championships.
Auburnwas, at best, a middle-
of-the-pack defense in the SEC
and Oregon could not block
their front, Blackledge said.
Until teams in other conferenc-
es make inroads on defense, its
just going to be hard to catch the
SEC.
Blackledge also believes that
SEC schools are more willing to
bring in junior college signees,
especially on the defensive side,
players who are often challenged
academically and shunned by
schools that dont think they can
keep up in the classroom.
This, of course, fits in with an-
other popularly held image of the
SEC as nothing more than a doz-
en football factories (well, 11,
leaving out Vanderbilt). The
largest building on most campus-
es is a palace such as Alabamas
Bryant-Denny Stadium (capaci-
ty: 101,821), a convenient symbol
of college athletics gone wild.
SEC
dy Schutz (132) were winners
last year. Kyle Krasavage, a ju-
nior at Wyoming Valley West,
won the championship his fresh-
man season and took second to
Pasone in 2011.
Those are just some of the no-
table names and storylines hap-
pening this weekend.
Heres a weight-by-weight
breakdown of every bracket for
the event.
Note: the returning cham-
pions arent listed because the
weight classes are not all the
same.
106
Top Seed: Sean Bergold, Meyers
Prediction: Coughlin s Bobby Hawkins over
Bergold
The Skinny: Hawkins is a freshman and coming
off a championship in the Tunkhannock Kiwanis
Tournament. AlsokeepaneyeonBerwicksDakota
Conner. The freshman could give Hawkins a hand-
ful in the quarters.
113
Top Seed: Jamie Scarantino, Pittston Area
Prediction: Scarantino over Dallas Dominic
Degraba
The Skinny: Lake-Lehman freshman Jimmy
Stuart, who claimed a tournament championship at
theTunkhannock Kiwanis Tournament, couldthrow
a wrench into the prediction as he will likely see De-
graba in the quarters of the brackets bottomhalf. In
the top half, Crestwoods Bob Gray and GARs A.J.
Luton have potential to pull off upsets because they
have been in big matches before.
120
Top Seed: Travis Roper, Wyoming Valley West
Prediction: Meyers Justin Elick, over Roper
The Skinny: This bracket could go either way
with Elick and Roper flip-flopping. The edge goes to
Elick because of his past experiences and as a ju-
nior hes a year older than Roper. Coughlins Ed Ci-
prich and Pittston Areas Tyler Lutecki could pull off
upsets.
126
Top Seed: Vito Pasone, Meyers
Prediction: Wyoming Valley Wests Kyle Kra-
savage over Pasone
The Skinny: Krasavage and Pasone are each
ranked very high in Class 3A and 2A, respectively,
in the state. Krasavage is seventh and Pasone is
fourth according to Premier PA Rankings. Pasone
won the matchup last year for the gold medal. A
slight advantage goes to the Spartan this time
around.
132
Top Seed: Austin Harry, Lake-Lehman
Prediction: Harry over Wyoming Areas Andy
Schutz
The Skinny: Schutz has two losses this season
and both are to Harry. Last season, this rivalry went
the other way with Schutz winning every bout. This
season seems to be Harrys turn. Meyers Kashif
Alston could possibly make things interesting for
Schutz in the semis.
138
Top Seed: Kevin Laubach, Berwick
Prediction: Laubach over Coughlins Frankie
Mahmoud
The Skinny: Mahmoud, the No. 6 seed in the
bracket, has only wrestledsix times this seasonand
was runner-up in 2011. Laubach enters with an un-
beaten mark of 12-0. The Crusader could have to
get past Lake-Lehmans Jake Winters to get to the
finals. Laubachs path to the final could see him
matching with Wyoming Areas Nick Heck.
145
Top Seed: Darren Stucker, Meyers
Prediction: Pittston Areas Angelo Lussi over
Stucker
The Skinny: Lussi is the three seed, but was a
champion last year. He has a tough road if hes go-
ing to repeat with No. 2 seed Dallas Zach Macosky
as theNo. 2seed. InadditiontoStucker, Coughlins
Mark Meloro and Tunkhannocks Ben Siegel are in
the top half and have upset potential.
152
Top Seed: Anthony Talanca, Berwick
Prediction: Talanca over Hanover Areas Do-
minic Vitale
The Skinny: The original top two seeds, Crest-
woods Kyle Hankinson and Dallas Kris Rocco-
grandi, were scratched on Thursday. That could
pave the way for the scrappy sixth-seeded fresh-
man Vitale to reach the finals. Nanticokes Maurice
Wood is the No. 2 seed.
160
Top Seed: Matt Hammerstone, Crestwood
Prediction: Hammerstone over Berwicks Will
Mausteller
The Skinny: Dallas Bill Dixon is the second
seed and will be a tough match for Mausteller, the
No. 3 seed. Also keep an eye on Wyoming Areas
Nick OBrien, who could face Hammerstone in the
semis.
170
Top Seed: Charlie Generotti, Tunkhannock
Prediction: Generotti over Crestwoods An-
drew Brodginski
The Skinny: Nanticokes Brian Maslowski took
arunner-upfinishin2011andwill try toupset Gene-
rotti inapossiblesemifinal bout. Brodginski, theNo.
3 seed, will have to get past Hazleton Areas Tom
Biesadesky, the second seed. Generotti begins the
event with Dallas sophomore Dominic Oliveri. If
youre looking for a first-round upset, this has a high
probability.
182
Top Seed: Steve Radzwilla, Hanover Area
Prediction: Crestwoods Roger Legg over
Radzwilla
The Skinny: Theres no question that Radzwilla
hasbeenhot thisseasonwitha14-2record. Leggis
thesecondseedandthis matchcouldgoeither way.
Dont discount upset possibilities from Valley
Wests Trey Cowman or Coughlins John Olson.
195
Top Seed: Chad Hoffman, Hazleton Area
Prediction: Hoffman over Nanticokes Pedro
Bracero
TheSkinny: Hoffmanhasanedgeover Bracero
for his state-placing run from a year ago. Hes also
wrestled in more than twice as many bouts as the
Trojan this season. But Bracero definitely has the
ability to get past Hoffman and stay unbeaten this
season. Dallas Garrett Artsma, the No. 6 seed, is a
sleeper candidate.
220
Top Seed: Dillon Ropietski, Hanover Area
Prediction: Berwicks Jake Jola over GARs
Zachary Faust
The Skinny: This class could be the most in-
teresting because everyone in the bracket is at or
above a .500 record. That could lead to an upset-
filled tournament. The bottom half of the bracket
looks very interesting with Dallas Ryan Monk and
Hazleton Areas Taylor Schermerhorn, who is the
second seed. Faust, a freshman, is seeded fifth and
it wont beeasyfor himtoget tothefinals, especially
having to go through Ropietski.
285
Top Seed: Brad Emerick, Coughlin
Prediction: Emerick over Tunkhannocks
Casey Drake
The Skinny: Drake is the No. 2 seed, but Emer-
ick is possibly the best heavyweight locally. Lake-
Lehmans Dustin Jones is also in the bracket and
would have to go through Drake to reach the finals.
But Jones did win a championship last year at the
PJWs held at Mohegan Sun Arena and thats an in-
dicator of his ability.

we hoped it would.
Recruitingwouldbe animmedi-
ate concern for Penn State if
OBrien is hired and indeed re-
mains with the Patriots.
New England is the AFCs top
seed in the NFL playoffs and has a
first-round bye this weekend.
Should the Patriots make the Su-
per Bowl, OBrien would be with
the teamthrough Feb. 5.
National signing day is Feb. 1.
If OBrien is the hire, he could
followthepathset byoneof his Pa-
triots predecessors. Former New
England offensive coordinator
CharlieWeis acceptedtheheadjob
at Notre Dame in December 2004
andrecruitedfor the FightingIrish
at thesametimehestayedwiththe
Patriots, who went on to win the
Super Bowl.
OBrien, 42, is in his fifth season
on the Patriots staff and his first as
the offensive coordinator. Though
he has no head coaching experi-
ence, OBrien has worked exten-
sively inthe college ranks withGe-
orgia Tech (1995-02), Maryland
(2003-04) and Duke (2005-06) be-
fore joining the Patriots in 2007.
In an odd coincidence, OBrien
shares an alma mater with Pater-
no. The Andover, Mass., native
played linebacker and defensive
end at Brown University from
1990-92.
OBrien jumped right into
coaching, staying for two more
yearsat Brownbeforespendingthe
next dozen seasons in the ACC, all
ontheoffensivesideof theball. His
highest post was inhis final year at
Georgia Tech, where he was assist-
ant headcoach, offensivecoordina-
tor and quarterbacks coach.
With the Patriots, OBrien has
coached wide receivers and quar-
terbacks, including future Hall of
Famer Tom Brady. OBrien may
best be knowntocasual fans as the
coach who got into a shouting
match with Brady on the sideline
following an interception in a Dec.
11game against Washington.
The agent for OBrien told The
Associated Press that his client in-
terviewed for the job on Thursday
and OBrien was flattered by the
interest.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick
confirmed to reporters in Boston
that OBrien would not be at prac-
tice Thursday but did not elabo-
rate.
Its been a very coveted job,
Joyner said. We have received a
tremendous amount of interest in
this. Im still receiving calls and
emails or communications from
many very, very well-qualified
coaches, who continue to be inter-
ested in this job.
For the moment, Penn State is
still led by interimcoach TomBra-
dley, who was in the Pittsburgh ar-
ea Thursday on a recruiting trip.
Coaches are allowed to contact
recruits as normal fromJan. 4-7be-
fore restrictions go back in place
fromJan. 9-12.
Bradley, who took over the pro-
gramwhen Paterno was fired Nov.
9, has repeatedly said that he will
work for the Lions as long as he is
still employed.
Four headed to Senior Bowl
Agroup of departing PennState
players has accepted invitations to
play in the Senior Bowl later this
month.
Defensive end Jack Crawford,
cornerback DAnton Lynn, defen-
sive tackle Devon Still and guard
Johnnie Troutman will all play for
the North squad on Jan. 28 in Mo-
bile, Ala. Each of them started for
partsof threeseasonsfortheLions.
All four players are trying to im-
prove their stock for Aprils NFL
draft, with Still leading the pack,
garnering a first-round projection
by some analysts.
It is the most Penn State players
invitedtothe Senior Bowl since af-
terthe2002seasonwhentheLions
sent fiveplayersAnthonyAdams,
Michael Haynes, Bryant Johnson,
Larry Johnson and Bryan Scott
all of whomweredraftedinthefirst
two rounds.
This is the most Penn State
players weve had in our game in
nine years and all are very deserv-
ing of this opportunity," Senior
Bowl President and CEO Steve
Hale said in a release. We feel like
weidentifiedfour strongprospects
and are looking forward to watch-
ing them compete in front of the
National Football League here at
the Senior Bowl.
The game kicks off at 4 p.m. on
NFLNetwork.
OBRIEN
STATE COLLEGE Billy
Oliver scored a career-high 21
points and Penn State held
Purdue to a season-low 31
percent shooting in a 65-45
win Thursday night to end a
six-game losing streak against
the Boilermakers.
Tim Frazier added 15 points,
including a leaning banker in
traffic in the lane to extend the
lead to 54-38 with about 8
minutes left. The tough bucket
capped an 18-6 run to put the
game out of reach and secure
first-year coach Patrick Cham-
bers first Big Ten win at Penn
State (9-7, 1-2).
Robbie Hummels 14 points
and five rebounds paced Pur-
due (12-4, 2-1), which lost to
Penn State for the first time
since a 67-64 defeat three years
ago in Happy Valley.
This one wasnt nearly as
close. Playing with four fouls,
Oliver hit back-to-back 3s with
just 5 minutes left for a 19-
point lead. The Nittany Lions
outhustled their opponents and
outrebounded them 38-26.
Matt Glover led Penn State
on the glass with 11 rebounds.
D.J. Byrd had 12 points for
Purdue, which narrowed a
15-point deficit in the first half
to 36-32 off Hummels layup
with 15:15 left.
But Penn State regrouped
and went on a 7-0 run finished
by Fraziers layup on the break
following a steal by Glover.
An uncharacteristically slop-
py first half left Purdue trailing
32-18 halftime, the Boilermak-
ers lowest-scoring half of the
season. Penn State held Pur-
due without a field goal the
final 6:46 of a half in which
coach Matt Painters club com-
mitted seven turnovers, or
about three less than its aver-
age for an entire game.
Oliver, a 6-foot-8 forward
who likes to roam the perim-
eter, scored 12 in the first half
on 4-of-6 shooting from 3-point
range.
Penn State led by as much
as 15 in the half on Sasa Bo-
rovnjaks layup with 3 minutes
to go before Purdue made its
second-half push.
DePaul 84, Pittsburgh 81
ROSEMONT, Ill. Brandon
Young scored 26 points, in-
cluding a three-point play with
1.3 seconds left, as DePaul
beat Pittsburgh.
Young scored the games last
seven points for the Blue De-
mons (10-4, 1-1 Big East) after
Pitt (11-5, 0-3) held an 81-77
lead with 17.2 seconds remain-
ing. Youngs layup cut the
Panthers lead to two points;
then Pitts Isaiah Epps missed
two free throws.
Young drove through the
Panthers defense for a basket
and he was fouled with 1.3
seconds left. He made the free
throw for a one-point lead,
then Pitt threw the inbounds
pass away. Young was fouled
and made two more free
throws.
Cleveland Melvin scored 20
points and Moses Morgan
added 13 for DePaul, which
before Thursday had won just
two regular-season Big East
games since 2008-09.
Gonzaga 73, Pepperdine 45
SPOKANE, Wash. Fresh-
man Gary Bell Jr. scored 15
points and No. 25 Gonzaga
beat cold-shooting Pepperdine
for its 21st consecutive victory
over the Waves.
Robert Sacre and Kevin
Pangos each scored 11 points
for Gonzaga (12-2, 2-0 West
Coast Conference), which has
won seven straight since con-
secutive losses to Illinois and
Michigan State. They have not
lost to the Waves since 2002,
their longest current streak
against a WCC rival.
Jordan Baker scored 10
points to lead Pepperdine (7-7,
1-2), which has not beaten a
ranked opponent since 1994.
The Waves, who came in
averaging 60 points per game,
never led in the game and shot
just 28.3 percent from the
field. Their season-low had
been 39 points in a loss to
UCLA.
Indiana 73, Michigan 71
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
Christian Watford scored 25
points, and Verdell Jones broke
a late tie with four straight
points to help lead No. 12
Indiana beat No. 16 Michigan.
Indiana (14-1 2-1 Big Ten)
stayed perfect at Assembly
Hall and beat a third ranked
team this season its most in
one season since 2005-06.
Tim Hardaway Jr. had 19
points for Michigan (12-3, 2-1)
while Jordan Morgan added 12.
The Wolverines dropped to 1-2
against ranked teams this sea-
son and have lost 14 of their
last 15 at Indiana since 1996.
On Thursday, the Wolverines
never even led.
But after Hardaway convert-
ed a turnover into a dunk to
tie the score at 68 with 3:07 to
go, Jones broke the tie with
four straight points. Watford
then made 1 of 2 free throws
and Zack Novaks long heave
was off the mark.

Olivers 21 leads
Penn State to win
PHILADELPHIA James
van Riemsdyks second goal on
the power play with 32.8 sec-
onds remaining lifted the Phila-
delphia Flyers to a 5-4 victory
over the Chicago Blackhawks
on Thursday night.
Brent Seabrook and Patrick
Kane scored 25 seconds apart
late in the third period to tie it,
but van Riemsdyk made sure
the Flyers shook off the dis-
appointment from their Winter
Classic loss.
Scott Hartnell, Harry Zol-
nierczyk and van Riemsdyk
scored goals in a span of 4:20 in
the second period, and Jakub
Voracek also scored for the
Flyers against Ray Emery in his
first game back in Philadelphia.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 30 saves
to earn his first win since Dec.
13.
Rangers 3, Panthers 2
NEW YORK Marian Gabo-
rik scored 3:29 into overtime
for the New York Rangers, who
outlasted the Florida Panthers
and moved to the top of the
NHL standings with their
eighth win in nine games.
Gaborik took a drop pass
from Derek Stepan in the high
slot and slapped in a drive for
his 23rd goal of the season.
New York (25-9-4) stayed one
point ahead of Boston in the
Eastern Conference, but jump-
ed one point in front of West-
leading Vancouver, which was
idle.
Martin Biron, starting for the
fourth time in nine games to
give No. 1 goalie Henrik Lundq-
vist a lighter workload, made 19
saves. Defenseman Anton Stral-
man and captain Ryan Callahan
also scored for the Rangers.
Marcel Goc and Mike Santo-
relli scored, and Scott Clem-
mensen stopped 38 shots for
the Panthers.
Maple Leafs 4, Jets 0
TORONTO Jonas Gus-
tavsson stopped all 24 shots he
faced for his second career
shutout, leading the Toronto
Maple Leafs to a win over the
Winnipeg Jets.
With the Maple Leafs facing a
key stretch in their schedule,
coach Ron Wilson says the
goaltender that wins will stay
in net for the following game.
Gustavsson was barely used
during a mediocre 4-6-3 Decem-
ber as Wilson elected to ride
James Reimer following his
return from a head injury.
But the backup now has
consecutive victories to open
an important homestand and
should be back in net Saturday
when the Detroit Red Wings
come to town.
Phil Kessel, Tim Connolly,
Mikhail Grabovski and Clarke
MacArthur scored for Toronto.
Bruins 9, Flames 0
BOSTON Nathan Horton
and Patrice Bergeron each had
two goals and an assist, Tuukka
Rask earned his third shutout
in four starts and the rampag-
ing Boston Bruins cruised to a
blowout of the road-weary
Calgary Flames.
The win was the ninth in 10
games for the defending Stan-
ley Cup champions, who have
outscored the opposition 49-13
during that span, with Rask and
Tim Thomas combining for
four shutouts.
The Bruins won their previ-
ous home game 8-0 over Flor-
ida.
Rask, who stopped 25 shots
for the 11th shutout of his ca-
reer, has allowed one goal in his
last four starts.
The Flames ended a seven-
game road trip with their fifth
straight loss, going 2-4-1 on the
journey.
Stars 4, Predators 1
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Mike
Ribeiro scored two goals in the
first period and the Dallas Stars
beat Nashville, ruining the
return of Predators captain
Shea Weber from a concussion.
Weber had missed four
games since being hurt Dec. 23
in a loss at Dallas in a collision
with Stars defenseman Mark
Fistric. The Predators an-
nounced Thursday at the morn-
ing skate that the defenseman
had been cleared to play, and
Nashville had a franchise-record
seventh straight sellout for
Webers return.
Senators 4, Lightning 1
OTTAWA Daniel Alf-
redsson had a goal and two
assists, Craig Anderson made
35 saves and the Ottawa Sen-
ators extended their winning
streak to four games with a
victory over the Tampa Bay
Lightning.
Alfredsson got his second
assist on Zack Smiths goal at
16:34 that made it 3-1. Alfreds-
son scored into an empty net at
19:07.

WILKES-BARRE A deci-
sion on who will head the Grea-
ter Wilkes-Barre Growth Part-
nership, formerly known as the
Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber
of Business and Industry, is not
expected this month.
The economic development
organization has been without
a day-to-day leader since No-
vember.
Board Chairman Conrad
Schintz, who is heading the
search committee, said initial
advertisements for the position
of president and chief execu-
tive officer drew120 applicants
in the fall. The 17-member
searchcommittee first whittled
down the list to 17 finalists. Af-
ter conducting phone inter-
views, the committee came up
with six finalists in addition to
two in-house candidates who
applied for the position that
was held by Todd Vonderheid
since June 2007.
Vonderheid stepped down in
November and has yet to an-
nounce his future plans. Last
fall Schintz said he had hoped
to have a candidate named to
the position by Thanksgiving.
Nowhe said its not likely a hire
would be made before Febru-
ary and could take even longer.
Wed like to get it done
ASAP, but we want to get the
best person, Schintz said. He
took some of the blame for the
delay in the hiring process, cit-
ing a medical condition he was
dealing with in the fall.
The candidate roster is now
down to six, two internal and
four from outside the state.
Schintz said the benefit of
choosing someone from the re-
gionor fromelsewhere is a con-
sideration the interview team
must weigh. People who are
here knowall the history of the
region and its businesses, but
people from other places can
take a different view on some
things. Theres pros andcons to
both and it cuts both ways.
He saidthree of the sixcandi-
dates have been interviewed
face-to-face and another is
scheduled to come in. The ini-
tial rounds of interviews were
done via Skype.
Without anyone officially
serving as president, Schintz
said, vice presidents Donna Se-
dor and Larry Newman are
handling the duties on an inter-
imbasis andthings are working
smoothly.
Theyre all professionals
over there and they knowwhat
theyre doing, Schintz said.
Chamber still reviewing top job hopefuls
By ANDREWM. SEDER

The Associated Press and 28 news
organizations, including The New
York Times and The Washington
Post, are launching a company that
will measure the unpaid online use of
their original reporting and seek to
convert unauthorized websites, blogs
and other newsgathering services in-
to paying customers.
The company, called NewsRight,
brings together efforts started by the
APandits partners inOctober 2010to
track the use of stories on websites,
blogs and other Internet forums
through what it calls the News Regis-
try.
The company said Thursday that it
is openfor business. Theorganization
is led by former ABC News president
David Westin.
NewsRight encodes original sto-
ries with hidden data that includes
the writers name and when it was
published. The encoded stories send
back reports to the registry that de-
scribe where a story is being usedand
who is reading it. The technology can
even locate stories that have been cut
and pasted in whole or in part.
More news is available more ways
than ever in history. But if reliable in-
formation is to continue to flourish,
the companies investing in creating
content need efficient ways to license
it as broadly as possible, Westin said
in a statement.
The company will initially seek
customers among media monitoring
services that compile stories online
for governments and companies, said
Westin.
These companies charge fees for
aggregating the news, but do not
compensate news organizations for
the use of their content.
News groups
keep eye on
unpaid use
By RYAN NAKASHIMA

WASHINGTON A mix of pri-
vate and government data released
Thursday sketched a picture of an
economy that is slowly strengthen-
ing, stoking optimismone day ahead
of the governments important read
on December job growth.
Weekly unemployment benefit ap-
plications have fallen to levels last
seen more than three years ago. Ser-
vice companies grewa little faster in
December. And many small busi-
nesses say they plan to add jobs over
the next three months.
Retailers, meanwhile, reported
solid gains, but sacrificed their bot-
tom lines by pushing heavy dis-
counts to shoppers bent on getting a
good deal in a challenging economy.
Weekly applications for unem-
ployment benefits dropped to a sea-
sonally adjusted 372,000 last week,
the Labor Department said Thurs-
day. Thats 11percent lower than the
same time last year.
When applications consistently
drop below 375,000 they generally
signal that hiring is strong enoughto
reduce the unemployment rate.
U.S. service firms, which employ
roughly 90 percent of the work force,
grew a little faster in December, ac-
cording to the Institute for Supply
Management.
An increase in new orders and
stronger imports drove last months
modest expansion. But a gauge of
hiring showed many service firms
were hesitant to add workers.
Sales rose 3.5 percent in Decem-
ber for a group of 25 retail chains
tracked by the International Council
of Shopping Centers. Holiday sales,
which cover the last two months of
the year, rose 3.3 percent, a decent
rise but less than last years gain.
Small businesses remain encour-
aged about their plans to hire over
the next three months. The National
Federation of Independent Business
says the proportion of those firms
that expect to add workers is slightly
off from the three-year high hit last
month.

Retailers Thursday reported decent holiday sales, but expanded discounting that could hurt profits.
Jobs outlook brightens
Weekly unemployment claims
down, sales up. Small business
more optimistic about hiring.

The snow lovers
among us are
becoming
increasingly
restless and des-
perate and their
frustration is
understandable.
We've had only
1.6 inch of snow
since Nov. 1 and
for them the
outlook heading
through most of
of next week
continues to
look rather grim.
For those of us
on the other side
of the fence, the
weather news
continues to be
good news.
Steering winds
off the Pacic
are now blowing
west to east
across the
nation, allowing
for warmer tem-
peratures and
little potential
for stormdevel-
opment. When a
stormfinally
does form later
next week, the
odds for us will
favor rain.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Mild and tranquil conditions look to affect the vast majority of the United
States today, thanks to high pressure draped from the Rockies into the Southeast. Light showers may
affect parts of the Pacic Northwest and western Gulf Coast. Expect snow to overspread northern
New England ahead of a passing warm front.
