The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
arent just getting out of town this season.
Theyre getting a new name.
The top minor league baseball affiliate
of the New York Yankees will play as the
Empire State Yankees this summer, Inter-
national League officials announced
Wednesday.
I wouldnt call it a name change. Its an
alternate name, said International
League President Randy Mobley, who as-
sured the team will still be known as the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees on offi-
cial league documents. The formal name
of the team has not changed, will not
change.
But the name on the uniforms,
hats and logos will.
We felt we should do some-
thing to com-
memorate this
historic sea-
son, said Roch-
ester General
Manager Dan
Mason, who generated the idea to call
the Triple-A Yankees something other
than Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for this
summer. We thought it wouldbe a neat
marketing idea.

U.S. exports grew by more
than 11 percent in 2010, accord-
ing to a new report released to-
day, and the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre MetropolitanArea got a de-
cent piece of the export pie.
The report, Export Nation
2012 issued by the Metropolitan
PolicyProgramat Brookings, em-
phasizes that the100 largest met-
ropolitan areas powered the na-
tions export
growth. Com-
bined, those ar-
eas provided63
percent of man-
ufacturing ex-
port sales in
2010, the re-
port says.
The Scran-
ton/Wilkes-
Barre metro ar-
ea is the 91st
largest by pop-
ulation, yet
ranked 86th in
export sales for
2008, reaping
$2.3 billion
from exports,
the report data
show. Perhaps more important,
exports madeup10percent of the
areas gross metropolitan prod-
uct.
All that exporting accounted
for 21,368 jobs, according to the
report, which tabulates direct
export productionjobs as well as
export-supported jobs, such as
those transporting goods used in
production.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre does
not fare well insalaries for export
jobs, though. The average wage
in the leading local export indus-
try is $31,679, which ranks 95th
in the nation. The average salary
for leading export industry jobs
in the 100 largest metro areas is
$66,449; the average for the coun-
try is $45,463.
But the pictures not that sim-

ternational trade manager for

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan
Osama bin Laden spent his last
weeks in a house divided, amid
wives split apart by suspicions.
On the top floor, sharing his bed-
room, was his youngest wife and
favorite. The
trouble came
when his eldest
wife showed up
and moved into
the bedroomon
the floor below.
Others in the
family who
were crammed
into the three-story villa com-
pound where bin Laden would
eventually be killed in a May 2
U.S. raid, were convinced the el-
dest wife intended to betray the
al-Qaida leader.
The picture of bin Ladens life
in the Abbottabad compound
comes from Brig. Shaukat Qadir,
a retired Pakistani army officer
who spent months researching
the events and says he was given
rare access to transcripts of Pa-
kistani intelligences interroga-
tion of bin Ladens youngest wife,
who was detained in the raid.
Qadir was also given rare entry
into the villa, which was sealed
after the raidanddemolishedlast
month. Pictures he took showed
the villas main staircase spat-
tered with blood, windows pro-
tected by iron grills and the 20-
foot-high walls around the villa.

PITTSTON TWP. A son re-
unitedwithhis family Wednesday
after a tour in the Middle East.
Airman1st Class DavidWarren,
21, of Nanticoke was greeted by
friends and family at the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton International
Airport after returninghomefrom
51/2monthsof serviceinIraqand
Kuwait.
A 2008 graduate of Greater
NanticokeAreaHighSchool, War-
ren worked locally for two years
before decidingtoenlist inthe Air
Force Reserve.
His mother, Sharon, recalls that
day.
He just came home one day
and said Mom, I joined the Air
Force, she said.
Davids father, a retiredfirst ser-
geant in the Plymouth National
Guard, never went overseas dur-
ing his time of service.
I was proud. But I was also
worried, she said.
Warrenspent themajorityof his
time overseas as a vehicle oper-
ator, participating in convoy oper-
ations and movements of various
supplies and munitions.
His positioncalledfor himtobe
proficient in cleaning, servicing
and operating military vehicles,
overseeing the loading and un-
loading of personnel and cargo
and preparing operator records
and reports.
Specifically, Warren said he
drove tractor-trailers trucks full of
supplies from Kuwait into bases
throughout Iraq.
I was through about five differ-
ent bases in five months, he said.
Balloons and digital camera in
hand, Sharon said she was just
looking forward to having her son
home.
Other than through email, Da-
vid and his mother had little to no
contact while he was overseas.
I just wanted to see him, she
said. And see him safe.
Warren spent his fair share of
time in the air the past week.
He flew out of Kuwait before
landing at Ramstein Air Base in
Germanyfor a four-daydebriefing
period.
Warren then boarded a 12-hour
flight straight into Dallas, before
catching a short flight to his re-
serve base in Oklahoma.
Fromthere, Warrenwouldfinal-
ly board the flight that reunited
him with his family.
After all the flying, Imlooking
forward to just being home, he
said. And sleep in my own bed.
Contemplating his first taste of
stateside cooking in more than
five months, Warren said he is
most looking forward to wings at
Green Streets Restaurant in Nan-
ticoke.
He picked a great day to fly
home.
Tonights wing night, he said.
His return home is short-lived,
however.
Warren will be returning to Ok-
lahoma March 27 for seven
months.
After his enlistment in the Air
Force Reserve is completed in
three years, Warren said he plans
to go to school in hopes of becom-
ing a parole officer.

Martha Herron, chair of the Lu-
zerne-Schuylkill Workforce In-
vestment Board, issued a state-
ment Wednesday defending the
salaries paid to employees who
work for the board.
County union representative
Paula Schnelly had urged county
council members during Tues-
days work session to examine the
boards employee pay increases.
Herron said the staff did not
have pay increases for at least
three years before raises were
granted in 2010.
The pay increases, which rang-
ed from 7.14 percent to 27.59 per-
cent, stemmed in part froma July
2010 increase in working hours
from 32.5 hours per week to 37.5
andastaffingcompensationanaly-
sis, Herron said.
Executive Director Lucyann
Vierling currently receives
$77,250, accordingtoinformation
supplied by the board.
Herron said a 2010 Pennsylva-
nia WIB Association survey
showed executive director sala-
ries ranged from $63,000 to
$110,000, with the average around
$91,300.
The compensation for the four
remaining board employees: Tri-
na Moss, $37,096; Patti Lenahan,
$61,800; Marla Dotto, $43,260;
and Sheryl Charbonneau,
$37,000.
Past county commissioners,
andnowcountycouncil members,
appoint members to serve on the
33-member WIB, which oversees
a $7.4 million budget, job place-
ment and training programs and
CareerLink centers in both coun-
ties.

Munchak seeks jail delay
F
ormer Lackawanna County Com-
missioner A.J. Munchak is seek-
ing to remain free while he appeals
his seven-year prison sentence for
bribery, extortion
and other corrup-
tion offenses.
In a motion filed
Wednesday, Mun-
chaks attorneys
argue that he is not
a flight risk and
does not pose a
public danger, that
Munchaks appeal questions a sub-
stantial law or fact and was not filed
to delay his prison sentence, and that
a favorable ruling in Munchaks ap-
peal would likely reverse or reduce
his sentence.
Munchak, 65, was convicted in
June 2011 of eight of 21 counts
against him, and was sentenced to
seven years incarceration on Jan. 30.
Prosecutors said Munchak and fel-
low former Commissioner Robert
Cordaro used their positions to ex-
tort money from companies doing
business with the county. He is
scheduled to report to start serving
his sentence April 3.

The federal government has approved
a $15.7 million allocation to Luzerne
County to help repair damage fromHur-
ricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
County Community Development Di-
rector Andrew Reilly said his office will
oversee the fundingbe-
cause it comes from
the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban
Development, or HUD.
The county now
must submit an action
plan to HUD for its ap-
proval before receiving
the funding. The mon-
ey may be used for di-
saster relief, long-term
recovery, restorationof
infrastructure and
housing and economic
revitalization in the ar-
eas most impacted by
Irene and Lee, accord-
ing to a federal release.
This is essentially
gap funding for things not covered by
other federal and state funds, Reilly
said.
He said he will schedule meetings
withcountyChief Engineer JoeGibbons,
county FloodProtectionAuthority Exec-
utive Director Jim Brozena and county
Manager Robert Lawton to draft a list of
proposed projects and estimated costs.
Brozena said he would like to use a
portion of the money to cover a local
match required to purchase and demol-
ish flood-prone properties.
Municipalities have been submitting
properties for proposed buyout to the
Pennsylvania Emergency Management
Agency.
If approved, the total costs of these
buyouts would exceed $20 million, offi-
cials said.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency will provide 75 percent of the
funding for approved properties, and the
state will kick in 22 percent, Brozena
said.
Theres still a 3 percent match unac-
counted for, and this money could be
used to fill that gap, Brozena said.
Brozena and Gibbons also would like
to use some of the funding to demolish
an abandoned railroad bridge over the
Susquehanna River in Exeter Township.
The county Redevelopment Authority
had hired a company in 2007 to remove
the structure in exchange for the steel
scrap value. That demolition never oc-
curred.
Authority officials said the bridge was
in danger of collapsing back then, which
could create a dam if the river rises.
County officials say the bridge sustained
additional damage in September.
Id really like to get that bridge down.
Its a concern, Gibbons said.

HARRISBURG State Rep.
Phyllis Mundy wants to close the
Delaware loophole for good, but
proposed legislation wont get
that done, she said Wednesday.
Basically, this is about tax fair-
ness, Mundy, D-Kingston, said.
Individual citizens dont have the
wherewithal and cant utilize
theseloopholes andtaxavoidance
schemes to avoidpaying their tax-
es.
The loophole
allows corpora-
tions doing
business inmul-
tiple states to
avoid paying
Pennsylvanias
corporate net
income tax by
setting up shell companies in De-
laware and some other states to
hold copyrights, patents and
trademarks. Companies often use
Delaware because it does not tax
royalty income.
Mundy, the Democratic chair-
woman of the House Finance
Committee, said she is drafting
legislation that would close the
loopholeandcut thecorporatetax
by 30 percent over six years, be-
ginning in 2014.
The bottom line is this: If ev-
erybody paid their fair share, ev-
erybody would pay less. But mul-
ti-state corporations need to con-
tribute their fair share so every-
one can pay less, Mundy said.
Legislation introduced earlier
this year, claiming to eliminate
the much-malignedtax-avoidance
scheme, would not only fail to
close the so-called Delaware loop-
hole, but would also create new
ways for corporations to avoid
paying their fair share of taxes in
Pennsylvania, Mundy and House
Democratic leaders said during a
Capitol news conference Wednes-
day.
State Rep. Dave Reed, R-Indi-
ana, introducedHouseBill 2150in
January, claiming the proposal
would close the loophole.Mundy
and House Democratic leaders,
however, said the Reed bill is just
smoke and mirrors that does lit-
tle to bring true tax fairness to
Pennsylvania.
Acloseinspectionof Represen-
tative Reeds House Bill 2150
shows it is nothingmorethanwin-
dow dressing, Mundy said.
Mundy saidthe Reedbill would
still permit companies to deduct
expenses for trademarks, copy-
rights and patents by simply
claiming it is for a legitimate busi-
nesspurpose. Shesaidthebill also
would allow multi-state corpora-
tions to claim a credit for taxes
paid in other states and deduct
that expense in Pennsylvania.
Andit allows companies toshift
income out of state by deducting
interest on loans from related
companies, another taxavoidance
strategyusedbycorporations, she
said.
Mundy said tax avoidance
schemes are so effective at reduc-
ing the tax burden for big, multi-
state corporations that 85 percent
of corporations in Pennsylvania
now pay less income tax than a
family earning around $36,000 a
year.
This statistic is even more ap-
palling when you consider that 70
percent of corporations pay no
corporate net income tax at all in
Pennsylvania, Mundy said.
That is just plain wrong.
Mundy said her legislation
wouldreducethecorporatenet in-
come tax from 9.99 percent to
6.99 percent over six years, begin-
ning in 2014.

Don Wilkinson agency
picked to collect taxes
Borough council Tuesday
night appointed the Don Wilkin-
son Tax Agency to collect the
boroughs recently established
mercantile tax.
The agency will collect the
$500 tax being levied on all
borough businesses making
$500,000 or more at a 2 percent
rate.
Wilkinson already collects
delinquent taxes for the bor-
ough at a rate of 10 percent.
In other business, the council
voted to table several measures.
The boroughs three person
civil service commission, which
has had only two members for
most of 2011, is now down to
one after the council tabled
nominations for the two open
positions, citing a procedural
misunderstanding.
The council also tabled mo-
tions to award a new refuse
contract, and to accept the re-
signation of Debra Serbin as
borough open records officer.

Property leased by BP
concerns residents
Property leased by BP along
state Route 29 has sparked
concern among some township
residents.
The energy company is using
the property to store windmill
components for its Mehoopany
wind farm slated to begin full
construction this year, and resi-
dents expressed they worried
about truck traffic.
Chuck Kovalick, a resident,
calculated 1,460 individual trips
for all the windmill components
and said he thought a BP repre-
sentative should be attending
township meetings to let them
know how they intend to handle
traffic and other concerns.
Residents are also dealing
with damage from last springs
heavy rains that flooded Bow-
mans Creek. State Department
of Environmental Protection
inspectors dubbed a Route 29
bridge near the township limits
to be in critical condition be-
cause of the flood.
Plans are in place to begin
repairs, but supervisors and
residents agree some very im-
portant factors are being over-
looked as Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Transportation contrac-
tors prepare for repairs, includ-
ing the accumulation of heavy
debris in the creek that could be
relieved by dredging and the
increased frequency of heavy
rain storms.

20-ton weight limit for
Niemchick Road OKd
Tuesday night, supervisors
approved an ordinance to place
a weight limit on Niemchick
Road after reports of increased
truck traffic.
Supervisors unanimously
approved an ordinance to place
a 20-ton weight limit on Niem-
chick Road. The goal is to in-
crease safety and protection
from overweight trucks.
Chairman Stan Davis said
supervisors have had reports of
an increase of truck traffic enter-
ing and leaving Hunlock Sand
and Gravel, Sweet Valley.
The ordinance outlines fines
that are based on how much the
vehicle exceeds the weight
limit, he said. Previously, Niem-
chick Road did not have a
weight limit.
In other business, supervisors
approved an ordinance to switch
the townships pension plan
from the Pennsylvania Munici-
pal Retirement System to the
Pennsylvania State Association
of Township Supervisors,
known as PSATS.
Davis said the two plans are
similar with the exception of the
administration fees.
The fees are significantly less
with the PSATS plan, he said.
The new plan will affect four
township employees, who previ-
ously reviewed the offer.

Razing of Wells Fargo
Bank to start today
The demolition of the Wells
Fargo Bank Building at Main
and Union streets is scheduled
to begin this morning at 7 by
the Penn Earthworks Co. of
Hazleton, it was stated at Tues-
day nights council meeting by
Rick Harmon, zoning officer.
Harmons report came after a
discussion on the need to up-
date existing ordinances and to
adopt fees that contractors will
have to remit to execute demoli-
tion scheduled on other flood-
damaged properties. The rates
adopted by council encompass
$250 for a single dwelling, $300
for a double, $500 for a commer-
cial structure and $1,000 for
building in the flood plain.
The fee schedule came on the
heels of a special request by an
officer of Wells Fargo, who
asked council to abandon desig-
nated parking spaces on West
Union and Main streets in order
to provide a driveway into an
ATM unit that is intended to
replace the bank. After Mayor
Beverly Moore commented that
the bank had not applied for a
driveway permit, council voted
to table the request and forward
its proposal to solicitor Jeff
Malak for review.
In another flood aftermath
issue, Melissa Weber, secretary-
treasurer, said representatives of
the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency are scheduled to
be in the borough on April 12, 8
a.m., to conduct inspections on
restoration work and to see if
flood relief funds are being used
properly. Weber said FEMA had
been doing some spot checking
recently, but its inspectors were
denied entry into an unspecified
number of houses.

WEST PITTSTON
Sex offender ordinance
repealed due to ruling
Borough council Tuesday
night repealed the West Pittston
Sex Offender Residency Re-
strictions Ordinance.
The ordinance was in effect
for just under a year, but state
Supreme Court rulings now
have sex offender residency
regulated beyond the borough.
Councilman Jim Rose said it
was unfortunate we have to
repeal this.
The awarding of contracts for
the York Avenue Sewer System
Project was not completed at
this months meeting and will be
tabled until April or a special
meeting, if necessary, due to the
overwhelming amount of bids,
eight in total.
The council wished to exam-
ine the bids fully without a time
limit. A community meeting
will be held, the date undeter-
mined, to explain the details of
the plan to residents.
Also, council assigned mem-
bers to committees. Councilman
Peter Albano was assigned as
the chairman of the Adminis-
tration Committee, Councilman
Barry Stankus was assigned as
chairman of the Public Safety

Sandusky to get records
A
Pennsylvania judge said Wednes-
day that Jerry Sandusky will get
the 581 pages of secret grand jury testi-
mony before the start of his trial on
child sexual abuse charges, but not as
soon as hed requested.
Judge Barry Feudale ordered that
the interests of justice are served by
providing the records earlier than re-
quired under state trial rules. Feudale,
who supervised the grand jury that
investigated Sandusky, is allowing
Sandusky and his lawyer to get tran-
scripts 10 days before the start of trial.
Feudale says that means 10 days before
the first witness is sworn in, not 10
days before jury selection.
The 68-year-old ex-Penn State assist-
ant football coachs trial on 52 criminal
counts is scheduled to begin in mid-
May. Hes on home confinement await-
ing trial, and denies the allegations.
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Six British soldiers killed
Six British soldiers were killed when
their armored vehicle exploded in
southwestern Afghanistan, Britains
Ministry of Defense said Wednesday. It
was the biggest loss of life for British
forces in the country since a plane
crash in 2006.
The soldiers were on patrol in Hel-
mand province at the time of the blast
Tuesday evening.
British Prime Minister David Cam-
eron said the deaths marked a desper-
ately sad day for our country.
The attack is certain to fuel calls for
the acceleration of a planned withdraw-
al of all U.S.-led coalition troops from
Afghanistan by the end of 2014. The
war has become increasingly unpop-
ular in the United States and among its
NATO partners in Europe.
BEIRUT
Official tours Syrian site
The U.N. humanitarian chief got the
first look inside the shattered district of
Baba Amr, Syria, on Wednesday but
found most people already had fled the
rebellious neighborhood in Homs fol-
lowing a devastating military siege.
Activists accuse the government of
sealing off Baba Amr for nearly a week
while it tried to cover up evidence of
atrocities over the past month.
The New York-based U.N. humanitar-
ian chief Valerie Amos arrived in Da-
mascus Wednesday, then headed to
Baba Amr, which the military wrested
from rebel control last Thursday. Homs
is one of the strongholds of Syrias
year-old uprising to oust authoritarian
President Bashar Assad.
CRYSTAL SPRING, PA.
Cops: Trooper was attacked
State police say a trooper fatally shot
a motorist from Maryland who at-
tacked him after a traffic accident on
the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Police said Wednesday that Daryl
Jerome Berry, 45, of Columbia, Md.,
and the other motorist were arguing
when the trooper arrived at the scene
of a collision in the eastbound lanes in
Brush Creek Township, Fulton County,.
Police said Berry approached the
trooper Tuesday night with a pair of
aggressive dogs, then hit him repeated-
ly with a flashlight. The trooper fired,
killing Berry, police said.
An autopsy performed at Lehigh
Valley Medical Center found Berry
suffered three gunshot wounds.
State police did not identify the
trooper, who was flown to Altoona
Hospital for treatment of his injuries.

A woman wearing zombie makeup
and a wedding dress sits and speaks
on the phone Tuesday while waiting
for a friend to join the 2012 Zombie
Walk during the Purim festival in Tel
Aviv, Israel. About 250 participants
marched in the city during the annual
event.
VIENNASatellite images of an Ira-
nian military facility appear to show
trucks and earth-moving vehicles at the
site, indicating an attempted cleanup of
radioactive traces possibly left by tests
of a nuclear-weapon trigger, diplomats
told The Associated Press on Wednes-
day.
The assertions from the diplomats,
all nuclear experts accredited to the In-
ternational Atomic Energy Agency,
could add to the growing international
pressure on Iran over its nuclear pro-
gram, which Tehran insists is for peace-
ful purposes.
WhiletheU.S. andtheEUarebacking
a sanctions-heavy approach, Israel has
warned that it may resort to a pre-emp-
tive strike against Irans nuclear facili-
ties to prevent it from obtaining atomic
weapons.
Two of the diplomats said the crews
at the Parchin military site may be try-
ing to erase evidence of tests of a small
experimental neutrondeviceusedtoset
off anuclear explosion. Athirddiplomat
could not confirm that but said any at-
tempt to trigger a so-called neutron ini-
tiator couldonly be inthe context of try-
ing to develop nuclear arms.
The diplomats said they suspect at-
tempts at sanitization because some of
the vehicles at the scene appeared to be
haulage trucks and other equipment
suited to carting off potentially contam-
inated soil from the site.
The images, provided by member
countries to the IAEA, the U.Ns nuclear
watchdog, are recent and constantly up-
dated, one of the diplomats said. The
diplomats all asked for anonymity to
discuss sensitive information.
The IAEA has already identified Par-
chin as the location of suspected nucle-
ar weapons-related testing. In a Novem-
ber report, it said it appeared to be the
site of experiments with conventional
high explosives meant to initiate a nu-
clear chain reaction.
It did not mention a neutron initiator
as part of those tests, but in a separate
section cited an unnamed member na-
tion as saying Iran may have experi-
mented with a neutron initiator, with-
out going into detail or naming a loca-
tion for such work.
In contrast, the intelligence informa-
tion shared with the AP by the two dip-
lomats linked the high-explosives work
directly to setting off a neutron initiator
at Parchin.
In explaining such a device, the agen-
cys November report said that if
placed in the center of a nuclear core of
an implosion-type nuclear device and
compressed, (it) could produce a burst
of neutrons suitable for initiating a fis-
sion chain reaction.

STEPPING UP TO HELP OUT IN SOUTH CAROLINA

E
ight-year-old Michael Leiby of Greenville, S.C., counts each step Wednesday as he walks through a sea of 1,000 shoes set up by The Step-Up
Campaign in honor of Disability Advocacy Day at the South Carolina State House in Columbia. Hes really into numbers, said his mother,
Susan Leiby. Its part of his disability. Michael was born with autism and a condition called neurofibromatosis. The display illustrates for legisla-
tors just how many people need help. The Step-up Campaign was sponsored by The Arc of South Carolina and The Autism Society.
CLEVELAND The Vatican
has taken the extraordinary step
of overruling the closing of 13
parishes by the Cleveland Dio-
cese, alawyer whofought thecut-
backs said Wednesday.
The move represents a rare in-
stance in which Rome has re-
versed a U.S. bishop on the shut-
down of churches.
The Congregation of the Cler-
gy ruledlast week that BishopRi-
chardLennonhadfailedtofollow
procedure in the closings three
years ago, attorney Peter Borre
said.
The 13 Roman Catholic
churches were among 50 shut
down or merged by Lennon, who
said the eight-county diocese
could no longer afford to keep
them open because of declining
numbers of parishioners and a
shortage of priests.
Most of the 13 parishes are in
Cleveland itself, many in poor, in-
ner-city neighborhoods. Many
had been founded by Irish, Hun-
garian or Polish immigrants,
some in neighborhoods that are
now heavily black and non-Ca-
tholic.
Parishioners challenged some
of the closings and reacted with
protests and the creation of a
breakaway congregation.
The bishop can appeal to the
Vaticans high court. It was not
clear whether he could simply
restart the process, correct the
procedural errors and close the
churches all over again. Nor was
it clear where the diocese would
find the money to operate the
churches if it were to lose.

WASHINGTON The largest solar
storminfive years is racingtowardEarth,
threatening to unleash a torrent of
charged particles that could disrupt pow-
er grids, GPS and airplane flights.
The sun erupted Tuesday evening, and
the effects should start smacking Earth
between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. EST today, ac-
cording to forecasters at the federal gov-
ernments Space Weather Prediction
Center. They say the storm, which start-
ed with a massive solar flare, is growing
as it speeds outward from the sun.
Its hitting us right in the nose, said
Joe Kunches, a scientist for the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-
tion.
Scientists saythesunhas beenrelative-
ly quiet for some time. And this storm,
while strong, may seem fiercer because
Earth has been lulled by several years of
weak solar activity.
This is a good-size event, but not the
extreme type, said Bill Murtagh, pro-
gram coordinator for the space weather
center.
Thesolar stormis likelytolast through
Friday morning, but the region that
erupted can still send more blasts our
way, Kunches said. He said another set of
active sunspots is ready to aim at Earth
right after this.
But for now, scientists are waiting to
see what happens today when the
charged particles hit Earth at 4 million
mph.
NASA solar physicist Alex Young add-
ed, It could give us a bit of a jolt. But he
said this is far from a super solar storm.
The storm is coming after an earlier
and weaker solar eruption happened
Sunday, Kunches said.
Very big solar storm headed this way
Event, set to arrive today, could
disturb power grids and airplane
flights, Prediction Center says.

NEWARK, N.J. The New
York Police Departments clan-
destine surveillance of Mus-
lims has damaged the publics
trust in New Jersey law en-
forcement and jeopardized
some of the relationships
agents had sought to build in
the community since Sept. 11,
the head of the FBI in NewJer-
sey said Wednesday.
Michael Ward, the Special
Agent in Charge of the FBIs
Newark Division, emphasized,
however, that hisagencyhasan
overall good working relation-
ship with the NYPD. He said
two NYPD investigators had
been assigned to the New Jer-
sey-basedJoint TerrorismTask
Force for years and operated
under clear guidelines and en-
gaged in regular interagency
briefings.
Ward said he learned about
some of the activities conduct-
ed by a different NYPD intelli-
gence divisionthrougha series
of reports by The Associated
Press detailing the depart-
ments secret surveillance of
mosques, Muslim-owned busi-
nesses and college campuses
across theNortheast. Hesaidit
was those types of activities
that risk undermining a key as-
pect of law enforcement: the
ability to enlist the trust and
cooperation of the public.
What were seeing now
with the uproar thats occur-
ringinNewJersey, is that were
starting to see cooperation
pulled back, Ward said.
In response to Wards criti-
cism, NYPD spokesman Paul
Browne said ongoing relation-
ships with Muslims in the re-
gion have led to the arrest of
several suspected terrorists in
NewJersey and elsewhere.

River islands is another possible
use of the funding, Gibbons said.
In Jenkins Township, theres a
house still sitting on the island
that washed down in September.
There are probably tanks on
these islands and other things
that need to be cleaned up to pro-
tect the environment of the riv-
er, Gibbons said.
Gibbons said he must research
the ownership of the islands and
programguidelines to determine
if such cleanup is a permitted use
of the funding.
At least nine substantial is-
lands fall in the Luzerne County
portion of the Susquehanna.
They are owned by private citi-
zens, companies or government
entities.
Creekrestorationalsomaybe a
good use for some of the funding,
Gibbons said.
Reilly said the county likely
will develop applications allow-
ing impacted municipalities to
submit proposed projects for
funding.
The fundingwas part of a $49.2
million allocation for Pennsylva-
nia counties that had disaster
declarations in 2011.
Shickshinny, Jenkins Town-
ship, West Pittston, Duryea, Exe-
ter, Exeter Township and Co-
nyngham Township were among
the riverfront municipalities in-
undated by flooding in Septem-
ber from Tropical Storm Lee.
Other municipalities sustained
roadway and infrastructure dam-
age from Hurricane Irene.
FED MONEY
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
This house was washed onto this Susquehanna River island near
the Eighth Street Bridge in Jenkins Township during September
flooding caused by Tropical Storm Lee.
commandos stormed in, killing
binLadenandfour others. His ac-
count is based on accounts by an
official of Pakistans Inter-Servic-
es Intelligence agency who es-
corted him on a tour of the villa,
the interrogation transcription
he was allowed to read, and inter-
views with other ISI officials and
al-Qaida-linked militants and tri-
besmen in the Afghan-Pakistan
border region.
The compound where bin La-
den lived since mid-2005 was a
crowded place, with 28 residents
including bin Laden, his three
wives, eight of his children and
five of his grandchildren. The bin
Laden children ranged in age
from his 24-year-old son, Khaled,
who was killed in the raid, to a 3-
year-oldbornduringtheir time in
Abbottabad. Bin Ladens courier,
the couriers brother and their
wives and children also lived in
the compound.
The54-year-oldbinLadenhim-
self seemed aged beyond his
years, with suspected kidney or
stomachdiseases, andthere were
worries over his mental health,
Qadir said he was told by ISI offi-
cials and an al-Qaida member.
Bin Laden lived and died on
the third floor. One room he
shared with his youngest wife,
Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sa-
da, a Yemeni who was 19 when
she married the al-Qaida leader
in1999. Another wife, SihamSab-
er, lived in another room on the
same floor that also served as a
computer room, Qadir told AP.
The arrival of his eldest wife,
Saudi-born Khairiah Saber, in
early 2011 stirred up the house-
hold, Amal said in her ISI interro-
gation, according to Qadir.
There was already bad blood
between Khairiah, who married
bin Laden in the late 1980s, and
Amal because of bin Ladens fa-
voritism for the younger Yemeni
woman, Qadir saidhe was toldby
tribal leaders.
Even ISI officials who ques-
tioned Khairiah after the raid
were daunted by her.
She is so aggressive that she
borders on being intimidating,
Qadir said he was told by an ISI
interrogator.
Amal stayed close to bin Laden
as he fled Afghanistan into Pakis-
tan after the 2001 U.S. invasion.
She took an active role in arrang-
ingprotectionfor himandbinLa-
den wanted her by his side, the
tribal leaders told Qadir.
Khairiah fled Afghanistan in
2001 into Iran along with other
bin Laden relatives. She and oth-
ers were held under house arrest
in Iran until 2010, when Tehran
let themleave ina swapfor anIra-
nian diplomat kidnapped in Pa-
kistans frontier city of Peshawar.
Khairiah showed up at Abbot-
tabad in February or March 2011
and moved into the villas second
floor, Amal told interrogators.
Khalid, binLadens sonwithSi-
ham, was suspicious, according
to Amal. He repeatedly asked
Khairiah why she had come. She
told him, I have one final duty to
performfor my husband. Khalid
immediately told his father what
she had said and warned that she
intended to betray him.
Amal, who shared Khalids
fears, saidbinLadenwas alsosus-
picious but was unconcerned,
acting as if fate would decide, ac-
cording to Qadirs recounting of
the interrogation transcript.
There is no evidence Khairiah
had any role in bin Ladens end.
Accounts by Pakistani and U.S.
intelligence officials have made
no mention of her. U.S. officials
havesaidthecourier inadvertent-
ly led the CIA to the Abbottabad
villa after they uncovered him in
a monitored phone call.
The courier, a Pakistani known
by his pseudonymAbuAhmedal-
Kuwaiti, lived with his wife and
four children on the villas first
floor. His brother, his wife and
three children lived in a guest
house in the compound. Al-Ku-
waiti, his brother and the broth-
ers wife were killed in the raid.
Bin Laden had two marriages
before Khairiah that ended in di-
vorce and had more than 20 chil-
dren with his various wives.
Amal gave her interrogators
details on bin Ladens move-
ments after fleeing Afghanistan.
Her account underscored that
bin Laden did not stay long in Pa-
kistans tribal-run regions on the
border where the United States
long presumed he was holed up.
She and bin Laden hid for
months in 2002 in Salman Talab,
a suburb of Kohat, a northwest
Pakistani border town. There bin
Ladenwas visitedat least onceby
Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the 9/
11mastermindarrestedinRawal-
pindi on March 1, 2003.
Amal said they moved con-
stantly to avoid being spotted for
several months in South Waziris-
tan, a border region. In 2004, she
and other family members went
to Shangla, 80 miles northwest of
the capital Islamabad. Bin Laden
joined them by doubling back
through Afghanistan because it
was feared he could be identified
if he crossed Pakistan.
Later in 2004, they moved to
Haripur, only 20 miles from Isla-
mabad. After several months
there, they moved in the summer
of 2005tothevilla inAbbottabad.
The wives and bin Laden fam-
ily members whowere inthe villa
duringthe raidremaininPakista-
ni custody.

MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
Agroup of nine Wilkes Univer-
sity students and two advisers
planned to spend this week in ru-
ral Eastern Kentucky patching
leaking roofs, installing new
bathroom fixtures and perform-
ing other repairs for those who
cant afford to do it themselves.
That was before last Friday,
when tornados tore through the
towns where they hadplannedto
volunteer.
The Wilkes group still made
the trip to Kentucky, but mem-
bers are now helping Kentucky
residents pick up their lives amid
the scattered debris.
The volunteers arrived in Flat
Gap, Ky., on Sunday, around 36
hours after at least 45 tornados
began touching down in the Mid-
west and South.
The grouphadbeenscheduled
to spend spring break volunteer-
ing with a housing team for the
Christian Appalachian Project, a
Kentucky-based nonprofit, but
learned shortly before leaving
Pennsylvania they would instead
be working with a disaster relief
team.
On Monday they were among
the first outside volunteers to
start recovery work in Saylers-
ville, Ky., where they helped raze
the walls and sort through the
fragments of what hadbeena Ca-
tholic church.
Complete and utter devasta-
tion doesnt even come close to
it, said Campus Interfaith Coor-
dinator Caitlin Czeh.Right
across the street fromthe church
there are two houses that are
obliterated. Theres nothing but
the foundationleft. The only way
youknowtherewasahousethere
is because theres a driveway.
There are some clothes and de-
bris upinthetrees, but otherwise
theres no sign that there were
housesthere. Andthenright next
door theres houses that havent
been touched at all. Its very
heartbreaking, she said.
The biggest thing to me is
howmuch destruction the torna-
do did, said volunteer Devoni
Novak, 21, of Laceyville, a junior
at Wilkes. Ive never seen so
much damage from one thing in
one area.
Today we worked on some-
bodys private home, and we just
helped them clean up their yard.
They actually just built a garage,
and when the storm came it left
just the foundation. We were
cleaning materials from the ga-
rage out of trees.
This was the secondnatural di-
saster the volunteers have seen
this year, but they found it diffi-
cult to compare the destruction
to the floodthat inundatedsever-
al Wyoming Valley communities
in September.
It was a little bit of shell shock
seeing all the damage that was
done, saidsophomore Emily Sa-
liba, 19, of Scotrun. It was just so
widespread down here, so much
was ruined.
Shock was the most common
emotion volunteers described in
relaying their experiences this
week.
We did so much, Saliba said
of the groups first day efforts
sorting through the rubble that
was onceachurch, but theres so
much more to be done.
Sophomore Jaclyn Palummo,
20, of Chester, N.Y., said the ini-
tial shock had begun to wear off
by Tuesday, but that in its ab-
sence, other emotions have crept
in.
The first day in the church we
wereall together, tryingtoget ev-
erything done, Palummo said.
Today was more the emotional
part, because we were with one
family. They told us their story;
where they were. So it hit us har-
der today just seeing how every-
one was reacting to what hap-
pened to their home.
The volunteers will remain in
Kentucky through Friday. De-
spite the emotional challenges
theyface, manysaidtheyareglad
for the opportunity to make a dif-
ference.
I dont know if you can com-
pare and say its worse or not as
bad, Novak remarked of the tor-
nado disaster and the September
flood. Becausepeoplehavetheir
lives onhold. I thinkits fortunate
that people came out and helped
the survivors in both cases.

NANTICOKE A finan-
cial audit at Luzerne County
Community College has re-
vealed a discrepancy in one
of the schools accounts,
prompting an investigation
by city police.
After an annual audit at
the school, college officials
asked its business consult-
ants to assist in looking into
the discrepancy.
The amount of money
missing from the schools
Public Safety Training Insti-
tute has not been released.
Nanticoke police have
asked the Luzerne County
District Attorneys Office to
meet with them regarding
the funds. A meeting is
scheduled for today, District
Attorney Stefanie Salavantis
said.
Nanticoke Detective
Capt. WilliamShultz did not
return a phone call Wednes-
day seeking comment.
In an email, a college spo-
kesperson said that after col-
lege officials reviewed infor-
mation from the business
consultants it was turned
over to the Nanticoke Police
Department.
Money had gone missing
from the school in Septem-
ber 2008 when Peter Moses,
was charged with stealing
more than $17,000 and two
laptop computers from the
school.
Moses, who was the asso-
ciate dean of administration
and auxiliary services, over-
sawthe cafeteria and Educa-
tional Conference Center
and was paid about $73,000
a year.
A Luzerne County jury
convicted Moses of related
charges in July 2010, and he
was later sentenced to four
to 23 months in county pris-
on.
His conviction and sen-
tence is on appeal in state
Superior Court. He has re-
mained free on bail.

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne
County prison guard was acquit-
ted Wednesday of drug-related
charges in a case in which prose-
cutors claimed he sold cocaine to
a fellow guard.
Christopher Walsh, 29, of Pitt-
ston, was found not guilty of one
count each of delivery of a con-
trolled substance and possession
of a controlled substance after a
Luzerne County jury deliberated
for about an hour.
Prosecutors withdrew a charge
of criminal conspiracy.
Walshs family embraced after
the jury was ushered out, while
the prosecutor, Deputy Attorney
General Tim Doherty, shook
hands with Walsh and his attor-
ney, Michael Butera.
Walsh had been suspended
without pay pending the outcome
of the charges, prison Warden Jo-
seph Piazza has previously said.
PiazzasaidWednesdayhewill dis-
cuss with the prisons lawyer and
the Attorney Generals Office
what the next step will be regard-
ing Walshs employment.
Walsh was charged in March
2011alongwiththreeother prison
workers after an investigation. Af-
ter hearingtestimonyfromanum-
ber of witnesses before a grand ju-
ry, prosecutors said Walsh alleg-
edly sold cocaine to corrections
officers a number of times.
Butera said Wednesday in his
closing argument that Walsh nev-
er sold or gave cocaine to anyone.
Butera said that for jurors to
convict hisclient, theywouldhave
to believe the testimony of former
fellowguards John Gonda and Jo-
seph Ciampi, who were admitted
drug users. Butera called them
snitches for the government.
The attorney said Ciampi initi-
ated every re-
corded conver-
sation with his
client, and
Ciampi was the
one running to
a lawyer when
he was served a
subpoena to ap-
pear before the grand jury.
If you arent guilty, why do you
run to a lawyer and pay $3,000?
Butera asked jurors. Those are
the actions of a guilty man.
Ciampi had resigned from his
guard position at the prison and
was not charged in the investiga-
tion.
Buteraalsotoldjurorsthat pros-
ecutors hadnococaine toshowju-
rors as evidence because Walsh
never had any.
Weve never had a chance to
test cocaine because (prosecu-
tors) dont have it. It doesnt exist.
Where is the cocaine? Butera
said.
Doherty, whopresentedthetes-
timony of federal agents as well as
Ciampi and Gonda during the
trial, said during his closing argu-
ment there was sufficient evi-
dence to convict Walsh.
This is a case about public
trust of public corruption, Do-
herty said.
Doherty said both Gonda and
Ciampi walked away from the
case with tarnished reputations
and embarrassment, having noth-
ing to lose or to gain.
Gonda himself was imprison-
ed at the hen house he was sup-
posed to be watching (when he
was a guard), Doherty said.
Gonda, 40, of WhiteHaven, was
sentenced in November 2010 to
one to two years in county prison
on charges relating to a $3.6 mil-
lion cocaine distribution ring
based in Ashley and run by mem-
bers of the Outlaws Motorcycle
Club.
He was released from prison in
July 2011, according to court pa-
pers, and paroled to the countys
Day Reporting Center.

Support for the family is

try, said Sexton, who ac-
knowledged being over-
whelmed by it.
Im not accustomed to be-
ing fussed over, he said.
Recalling the fire, Sexton
said his initial reaction was
not to panic. He felt an enor-
mous peace upon seeing the
smoke, he said.
Still hehadconcerns for the
firefighters.
I could tell by the look of
the flames this was a very aw-
ful basement fire, he said.
Basement fires, as most peo-
ple know, are lethal and had

all been dead. Thank God we
were not asleep and we were
here praying instead.
The rectory could be re-
paired, hesaidhethought that

couldnt be. The only thing to

to urge my people to pray for
them because these are our
protector.
Sexton and the bishop and
parishioners joined some of
the firefighters after the ser-
vice at the fire departments

WASHINGTON Mitt Rom-
ney said Wednesday hes pre-
pared to fight all the way to be-
come the Republican presiden-
tial nominee after padding his
delegate count on Super Tues-
day. Supporters of his chief rival,
Rick Santorum, tried to elbow
Newt Gingrich out of the race in
an effort to give conservatives a
clear alternative to the GOP
front-runner.
Gingrich, who won only his
home state of Georgia in Tues-
days balloting across 10 states,
said Wednesday hes pressing
ahead and will wait and see
how the race goes. He headed
for Alabama and Mississippi,
hoping to pick up more southern
delegates next week.
Super Tuesday gave Romney a
narrow victory in pivotal Ohio
and wins in five other states,
while Santorum laid claim to
three states. Rep. Ron Paul won
none. The split decision re-
freshed questions about Rom-
neys appeal to conservatives,
and guaranteed more convulsion
ahead as Republicans struggle to
settle on a candidate to take on
President Barack Obama.
Leaders of a super political ac-
tion committee supporting San-
torum said its time for Gingrich
to step aside and let Santorum
go head-to-head with Romney.
If Gingrich remains in the race
its only a hindrance to a conser-
vative alternative to Romney,
said Stuart Roy, an adviser to the
Red, White and Blue Fund. And
Romney simply wont be the
conservative alternative to Oba-
ma.
The PAC has spent about $3
million on TV ads helping Santo-
rums White House bid, and Roy
predicted that Wednesday would
be a good day for fundraising.
Santorum, who was cam-
paigning Wednesday in Kansas
and Mississippi, pointed to his
wins in the West, the Midwest
and the South as proof he can
win across this country.
Romney, in an appearance on
CNBCs Squawk Box, insisted
hes getting the kind of support
across the party that I need to
become the nominee.
His campaign announced that
Romney raised $11.5 million in
February, the second-best month
ever for the campaign. Still,
thats not substantially ahead of
Santorum, who raised $9 million
in February.
Gingrich, in a morning ap-
pearance on Bill Bennetts
Morning in America radio pro-
gram, said theres no evidence
Santorum could defeat Romney
even in a one-on-one competi-
tion.
If I thought he was a slam
dunk to beat Romney and to
beat Obama, I would really con-
sider getting out, Gingrich said.
I dont.
Gingrich spokesman R.C.
Hammond said Alabama and
Mississippi, which vote on
March 13, are must-win states
for the former House speaker, al-
though he stopped short of say-
ing Gingrich would get out of
the race if he lost there. To that
end, Gingrich dropped plans to
campaign Friday in Kansas,
which holds caucuses Saturday,
to focus on the southern states.
Vice President Joe Biden next
week will begin a series of
speeches laying out themes for
Obamas re-election campaign,
beginning in Ohio.
The Obama campaign also
plans to release a 17-minute doc-
umentary on Obamas first term
by director Davis Guggenheim,
whose credits include the Acade-
my Award-winning An Inconve-
nient Truth, about Al Gores
global-warming campaign.
In addition to claiming Ohio,
Romney scored a home-state
win in Massachusetts, and tri-
umphs in Idaho, Vermont, Alas-
ka, and Virginia. Santorum laid
claim to Oklahoma, Tennessee
and North Dakota.
Gingrichs win in Georgia,
which he represented for several
terms in Congress, was his first
victory since South Carolina on
Jan. 21.
Paul, the veteran congressman
from Texas, had pinned his
hopes on winning Idaho and
Alaska but fell short in both.
Ohio was the marquee match-
up, and for good reason. No Re-
publican has won the presidency
without carrying the state in the
general election.
With 99 percent of Ohio pre-
cincts reporting, Romney had 38
percent to Santorums 37 per-
cent, an uncomfortably close
margin for a candidate who had
spent nearly four times as much
money as his rival in the state.
In all, 419 delegates were at
stake across the 10 states: Rom-
ney picked up at least 212; San-
torum got 84, Gingrich 72 and
Paul at least 22.
That gave the former Massa-
chusetts governor 415, more
than his three rivals combined.
Santorum was second with 176,
Gingrich had 105 and Paul had
47. It takes 1,144 delegates to
win the nomination.
In Oklahoma, Democratic offi-
cials were reviewing party rules
to determine if the president lost
a delegate to anti-abortion activ-
ist Randall Terry, who got 18 per-
cent of the vote in the Democrat-
ic primary. Obama got 57 of the
Oklahoma vote, and the rest of
the states vote was fractured.
Under party rules, Terry is eli-
gible for a delegate since he got
more than 15 percent of the
statewide vote.
Until Tuesday, Obama had
won all Democratic delegates
awarded so far.
Victorious Romney vows to fight on
Santorum backers try to force
Gingrich to quit after
ex-speaker picks up 1 state.

Many patients unaware
of medical malpractice
W
ith major changes occurring in our
local health care environment, and as
we observe National Patient Safety
Awareness Week, it is important to remem-
ber that safety, transparency and account-
ability must remain paramount for patients
and their families.
Unfortunately, medical errors remain a
rampant epidemic in America, and Penn-
sylvanias hospitals continue to be danger-
ous places. Yet, organized medicine and its
big business allies continue to deflect
public attention from the systems short-
comings by continuing an unfounded as-
sault on the legal rights of patients and
their families.
In 2010 more than 218,116 patient safety
events occurred in our hospitals, accord-
ing to the Pennsylvania Patient Safety
Authority. Of those, 7,508 were serious
enough to result in injury or death, in-
cluding wrong-site surgeries, instruments
left inside patients and medication mix-
ups. However, only 1,491 medical mal-
practice lawsuits were filed. Thus, only
about 20 percent of potential claims for
harm resulted in legal action.
In fact, since 2002, the number of mal-
practice lawsuits filed in Pennsylvania has
dropped by 50 percent, while the number
of patient safety events in our hospitals has
steadily risen. Although patients remain at
high risk, it is the insurance industry that
has benefited most. In 2010-2011, insur-
ance companies charged doctors and hos-
pitals a quarter of a billion dollars more in
premiums than they paid out in claims,
according to the state Insurance Depart-
ment.
In 1999 the Institute of Medicine esti-
mated that up to 98,000 patients are killed
every year by preventable medical errors.
Ten years later, in 2009, a Consumers
Union study found that while there were
pockets of progress, little had been done
since the groundbreaking IOM report to
make patients safer. To put it into perspec-
tive, nine times more people are killed by
medical errors than by drunken drivers,
and malpractice is now the sixth-leading
cause of death in America.
Policy makers need to get the diagnosis
right. Instead of treating the symptoms of
malpractice (lawsuits) or rewarding the
insurance industry, they need to treat the
cause (preventable errors). Anything less
would truly be malpractice.

IT SEEMS that not a week
goes by without the death
of a celebrity grabbing the
headlines. Of course, some
of those headlines are big-
ger than others.
The recent passing of
Whitney Houston garnered so much interest
that her funeral was carried live on major
news channels. And while the death of Davy
Jones on Feb. 29 didnt grab quite as much
attention, I was glad to see that it wasnt
passed off as a simple footnote. Indeed
Jones death at age 66 was treated as a signif-
icant loss to the world of pop culture, and
though we all would have liked to have seen
him around for another 25 years, Im glad
that in death the ex-Monkee is getting his
due.
The Monkees, at least initially, were not
an actual band, but in fact put together for a
TV show in order to capitalize on the suc-
cess of The Beatles and films such as A
Hard Days Night and Help. But some-
thing quite remarkable happened along the
way. The Monkees became a very good
band.
The Monkees had albums that topped the
charts for months. They had singles that hit
No. 1. And they made some terrific pop
music. It was the mid-60s, an incredibly
exciting time for rock n roll, and The Mon-
kees were right there in the middle of it.
Yes, we probably all know the story: They
used a lot of outside songwriters, and they
didnt play most of the instruments on their
first few albums. In a time when acts such as
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were
writing their own material and playing their
own music, that cost The Monkees some
street credibility and critical acceptance. But
having professional songwriters write the
hits and having polished studio musicians
play on the records always has been pretty
common in pop.
Thats how Elvis Presley did it. He found
good songs, he got great players to record
them and he sang them. Perhaps by the late
50s, with the arrival of Buddy Holly, and
later with the arrival of Bob Dylan and The
Beatles, people might have thought that pop
music had become an art form strictly for
songwriters, but it hasnt quite worked out
that way. The charts, even today, are still
usually sprinkled with a few pop singers.
The Monkees, however, were more, and
while recently listening to some of their old
hits, I was reminded of how much I used to
like them. A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You
is a fabulous pop song. And tunes that I
really hadnt heard in years such as Papa
Genes Blues written by Monkee Mike
Nesmith are definitely catchy. And of
course there was Last Train To Clarksville,
(Im Not Your) Stepping Stone Im A
Believer Pleasant Valley Sunday and
Jones signature number, Daydream Believ-
er. Its all good stuff.
By all accounts, when The Monkees
toured and played their own instruments
they did just fine. And when they were able
to get more creative control of their record-
ings, write their own material and play on
their albums, they also did just fine. And,
man, could they sing. Some of them partic-
ularly Jones sang very well.
It was nice to see some of this discussed
last week as people reflected on Davy Jones.
Good for him. The man who genuinely
seemed like a nice guy had earned it.
When The Times Leader asked me for a
few thoughts, I mentioned how much l liked
the TV show when I was a kid, how I
thought the groups music was really a terrif-
ic brand of 60s pop, and I shared a story of
the time I saw The Edge of U2 perform
Daydream Believer in concert. The crowd
of 70,000 went wild. This was in 1997, and at
the time, I remember wondering if Jones
knew that the biggest and most critically
acclaimed band in the world was playing his
most famous song every night.
Well, a quick YouTube search answered
my question.
At one show on that same tour, Jones was
in attendance and Edge brought him to the
stage to sing it with him. At one point, the
entire crowd sings along and Edge does an
unworthy bow toward Jones.
A lot of people showed Davy Jones a lot of
love last week, and while thats very kind,
Im glad that U2 and that enormous crowd
allowed him to feel it while he was still here.
And the fact that he was still touring as late
as last summer indicates that he probably
still felt that love quite often.
RIP, Davy Jones. When some of us hear
your songs, we are kids again, sitting in front
of our little record players as your albums
spin. We are, once again, daydream believ-
ers, falling in love with music. And thats not
a bad gift for anyone to have left us.

COMMENTARY
A L A N K . S T O U T
I
T HAPPENED AGAIN
last week: Gasoline prices
jumped more than a dime
a gallon. Motorists soon
could be pumping $4-a-gallon
fuel into their vehicles.
And as prices continue their
relentless rise across the Unit-
ed States, Republicans are
revving up their allegations
that President Barack Obamas
energy policies are responsible
for the rising costs.
Oh, really?
Obama must be one power-
ful guy then, because drivers in
Canada, England, Japan, Ger-
many and other countries also
are paying higher and some-
times near-record prices this
winter for gasoline. And with
the enormous taxes and fees
imposed in many of those na-
tions, the cost of filling up on,
say, $6.88-a-gallon gasoline in
Japan easily outstrips what
U.S. motorists are paying.
In reality, the GOPs attacks
on Obama are politically moti-
vated hyperbole.
Many Republicans and
even some Obama supporters
dont want to acknowledge
this: The president of the Unit-
ed States has very little imme-
diate effect on the price of oil
because its sold on a world-
wide market thats influenced
by complicating factors out-
side a presidents control.
The two biggest at work
right now are the continued
tensions with Iran, which have
sent the price of crude soaring
past $110 a barrel, along with
the increased demand for oil in
China andother developingna-
tions. Other factors include the
recent closings of several East
Coast refineries and specula-
tion in financial markets on
gasoline prices.

HE FEDERAL Envi-
ronmental Protection
Agency is stepping
where Pennsylvanias
government, and its regulato-
ry agencies, such as the De-
partment of Environmental
Protection, fears to tread: the
Marcellus Shale regions.
The battle lines are clearly
drawn. Pennsylvania
had established a
clear drill, baby,
drill attitude re-
garding the massive,
natural gas forma-
tion. Its allowance
for minuscule drill-
ing fees comes with
a freight of controls
that remove control
from local munici-
palities andproperty
owners and place
them in the hands of the drill-
ing industry.
The EPA is maintaining a
more environmentally friend-
ly view, questioning whether
the hydraulic-fracturing tech-
nology used to release the gas
has detriments, both long- and
short-term.
There already is one EPA
study, criticized by the indus-
try, that ties questions about
water quality to the process of
fracking. Thats not some-
thing Pennsylvanias politic-
ians or the gas industry
want tohear, andarguments of
this type will face heavy artil-
lery in this state.
But there are questions
about water quality that al-
ready have been raised in
Pennsylvania, and that is why
the EPAis undertakingtesting
of some water supplies.
There is no other question
but this: Is the water in the ar-
ea inwhichfracking occurs go-
ing to be safe for human use
during and after
the drilling?
The EPA is not
meddling if there
are legitimate
questions regard-
ing anactivity like
fracking. And
there are legiti-
mate questions in
Pennsylvania and
elsewhere.
There are parts
of Pennsylvania in
which people have been using
bottled water for years due to
tainted drinking water suppli-
es.
Does the blame rest with
the drilling industry? The
problems reportedly began oc-
curring after the coming of the
industry, but the argument of
coincidence can be made.
Without empirical evidence
routine scientific collection of
data there can be no real an-
swer.
We find the EPAs additional
oversight both welcome and
necessary.

OTHER OPINION: GAS DRILLING

their estimatedprofits at resalefor
the shows viewers.
While Wolfe and Fritz some-
times make cold calls when they
spot juicy prospects some would
describe as eyesores while theyre
drivingaround-- anapproachthey
call free-styling the men also
plan trips around leads, said Jodi
Friedman, of the shows producer,
Cineflix Inc.
Some of the best ways Mike
and Frank found places to pick is
through word of mouth, Fried-
man said.
She told county council mem-
bers in a recent e-mail the pickers
are looking for leads lots of
em.
I figured the council members
wouldbetheperfect waytoget the
word out in your area, she wrote.
Friedman said in an interview
Wednesday she has contactedoffi-
cials in counties throughout the
state. Visits to Pennsylvania
should be scheduled within the
next three months.
The duo have visited areas in
western Pennsylvania and Gettys-
burg in previous seasons of the
show.
Were open to the entire state.
Were contacting each county be-
cause theyre eachunique andspe-
cial, she said.
She stressedWolfe andFritz on-
ly pick private collections not
stores, malls, flea markets, mu-
seums, auctions, businessesorany
places opentothe public. She sup-
plied a list of items sought by the
pickers (see box).
Were also looking for any odd-
ball or interesting historical items
you can think of, she said.
The pickers currently are not
looking for farming/agricultural
items, tools, glassware, applianc-
es, tractors, crocks, stovesor coun-
try primitives, she said.
People withitems to sell should
e-mail their name, phone number,
town, state and pictures to JFried-
man@cineflix.com.
Photos of large collections will
stand the best chance of catching
producers attention, rather than
single shots of one or two items,
she said.
Cineflix doesnt have the re-
sources to personally respond to
all e-mails because of the quantity
submitted, but Friedman said the
producer will contact individuals
if it looks like a good lead.
Merle Mackin, executive direc-
tor Luzerne County Convention
andVisitorsBureau, saidhewasal-
so notified about the upcoming
visit and has been telling area resi-
dents about the opportunity.
If theyweretoselect oneortwo

Its a neat show. It would be
pretty cool if were picked, he
said.
Mackinbelieves thecountys ru-

ty owners must reach out to the
producers because the county
cant force anyone to participate,

here, but we dont have Philadel-
phia or New York costs of living,
either.
While much of our local export
business comes from large na-
tional companies that haveplants
here, smaller businesses are see-
ing growth as well. For example,
exports account for about 4 per-
cent of total sales at A. Rifkin Co.
on the San Souci Parkway in Ha-
nover Township, according to In-
ternational Sales Manager Joan
Brown.
An employer of about 102 peo-
ple, A. Rifkin has manufactured
security bags, the kind banks and
businesses use to transport mon-
ey and documents, since 1892.
Wesell products inEurope, Ja-
pan, Panama, theWest Indies and
Singapore, tonameafew, Brown
said. Weve been doing it a long
time, though it has really picked
up in the last 10 years or so.
Brown credited the Internet,
whichmadeit easier for peopleto
findthe company, andNEPAAlli-
ance, which provides assistance
in opening new markets some-
thingthat canbeassimpleasfind-
ingagoodbroker that deals inthe
country.
Horvath said its important for
small companies to realize there
is help available in tapping for-
eign markets. Pennsylvania has
offices in 20 countries that can be
contacted for advice and assist-
ance, and NEPA Alliance keeps a
longlist of experts tohelpanswer
specific questions.
In fact, he said, for more than
30 years NEPA Alliance has been
providing a variation on one pro-
posal in the Brookings report:
Creationof MetropolitanExport
Initiatives, described as
ground-up collaborative efforts
by regional business, civic, and
political leaders to create and im-
plement strategic plans for boost-
ing exports in U.S. regions.
The report also calls for more
andmoreconsistent fundingfor
transportation infrastructure,
better and quicker collection and
dissemination of export data for
metro areas and more free-trade
agreements with other countries
a political hot-button issue for
some who argue such agree-
ments cost American jobs.
Not true, said Darlene Rob-
bins, president of the Northeast
Pennsylvania Manufacturers and
Employers Association.
America has a manufactured
goods trade surplus with our
trade agreement partners, Rob-
bins wrote in an email. Over the
last threeyearswehavesoldthem
about $70 billion more in manu-
factured goods than we have
bought fromthem. That supports
U.S. jobs. During that same time,
our manufactured goods trade
with countries with which we
DONT have trade agreements
was in deficit by $1.3 trillion.
Horvath said United States
companies have been slow at
times to get involved in interna-
tional trade because, historically,
the country has been a self-con-
tained production and consum-
ing market.
Alot of companies didnt have
to sell offshore, Horvath said.
But intodays economyyouhave
to look at markets around the
world. Some of our products are
needed overseas.
If you run a company and
dont sell overseas youhavetoask
yourself whyyouarent lookingat
the possibility, Horvath said.
American products are still
looked at as quality and innova-
tive, and the rest of the world
wants to have these products. If
you are not exporting you should
look into it, and if you are you
should be expanding.

Theyll be with the Empire
State Yankees, our Triple-A
team that will be nomadic,
Cashman said to the New York
Daily News when talking about
prospects last year.
Mason said he pitched the
idea to SWB Yankees President
Kristen Rose and Mandalay,
which operates the SWB Yan-
kees. He said both
parties embraced
the suggestion, and
took it to the parent
New York Yankees.
Not only didthe par-
ent Yankees approve
the proposition, Ma-
son said, theyre the
ones who came up
with the name Em-
pire State Yankees.
The next step is
try to come up with some mer-
chandise to go along with it,
Mason said. Well have two dif-
ferent caps, two different tops
just for this season.
Thatll onlyhighlight a year of
difference for the top farmteam
of the parent NewYork Yankees.
Northeastern Pennsylvanias
Triple-A team was forced from
its Moosic home, where the Yan-
kees spent the past five seasons,
due to planned renovations esti-
matedtotake place throughthis
summer.
That left the Triple-AYankees
scrambling to find alternate
sites to play home games this
season, andmost of themwill be
at stadiums in New York state.
Rochesters Frontier Fieldwill
host 37 home games for the Tri-
ple-A Yankees, while 10 more
will beplayedinSyracuse, seven
in Batavia and six in Buffalo.
That means 60 of the teams
72 home games will be played
in New York state this season,
and 84 of the teams total of 144
games will be played in upstate
New York.
Werelookingforwardtocall-
ing Rochester and upstate New
York our primary home for the
2012season, NewYorkYankees
COO Lonn Trust said in a state-
ment, and the opportunity for
our Triple-A team to play in
front of so many Yankees fans
across the region.
Hence the name changing to
Empire State Yankees.
As long as they change it
backnext year, warnedJimGel-
soichter, a Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees season ticket
holder from Wilkes-Barre.
Hes not the only Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania baseball fan
concerned with the name
change.
I dont love it, saidlocal Yan-
kees fan Ryan Novick of Wilkes-
Barre. Theyre supposed to be
our team.
Theystill are, Mo-
bley insisted. This is
just a way for New
York state to better
market an out-of-
town product.
Its all in the
course of having a
little bit of fun with
it, Mobley said.
People shouldnt
take it too seriously.
If it had been a suggestion to
make a hard-and-fast name
change, that would have been a
problem.
Its no problem to some area
fans especially those who rel-
ished watching the Columbus
Clippers play in Moosic as the
Triple-A affiliate of the parent
Yankees beforemovingtoScran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre in 2007.
Wed go (to the since-re-
named PNC Field) when the
Clippers came in, said Ryan
Savka, from the Scranton area.
Changing their name doesnt
really bother me.
But some people arent buy-
ing into the idea of a one-year
name change, while fearing this
may be a strong sign the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
could be gone for good.
I dont believe them now,
Novick said. Why would they
change their name for one year?
It basically shouldnt be any-
thing but Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre. If theyre going to leave,
they should leave now.
Mason doesnt envision the
Triple-A Yankees going any-
where but back to Scranton/
Wilkes-Barrewhenupgrades are
completed in their PNC Field
home.
Its just a one-year deal, Ma-
son said.
EMPIRE
I wouldnt call
it a name
change. Its an
alternate
name.

Herrera and Aponte were
found by firefighters on the third
floor, where they often sat on
kitchen chairs on a rear porch
drinking beer, friends said.
Lisman said alcohol played a
roleintheir deaths, but hedidnot
elaborate. The coroner listed car-
bonmonoxide intoxicationas the
cause of death.
Guadalube Salinas, who lives
across the street, saidshe learned
of the fire while she was at work
on Wednesday. She knewthe two
only by their first names despite
Jos growing up in the same
Mexican town, Sinaloa, as her
husband.
Jos never talked about his
family, never, Salinas said.
They were always together and
would say hi. I know they always
drank beer.
Herrera and Aponte lived in
the building for five to six years,
said Kathy Evans, who lives next
door on Maxwell Street.
Like her brother, Rich Tatter-
sall, and Salinas, Evans said she
did not know their last names.
Mickey Money
They were good people,
Evans said. My father would
give them Mickey Money for
food, milk and stuff like that.
Evans and Rich Tattersall said
their father made up his own
money he would give to Herrera
andAponte for foodandother ne-
cessities.
My father had a deal with the
storedownthere(StopandGoon
North Sherman Street). You can
turn in the Mickey Money for
food and my dad would go and
pay the bill, Rich Tattersall said.
Thats how my dad prevented
them from buying beer with
Mickey Money, Evans said.
Evans and Rich Tattersall said
the two men enjoyed sitting in
the rear yard drinking beer, grill-
ing steaks and hamburgers and
listening to music. Evans said
they also had a soft spot for cats,
often throwing food in the yard
for the felines.
Several cats were seen walking
up the steps to the second floor
apartment where Herrera and
Aponte had lived.
Mickey Tattersall stopped by
Wednesday afternoon and sat at
the same table in the yard con-
suming a beer in honor of Herre-
ra and Aponte. He said he had no
insurance on the building.
Property records indicate
Mickey Tattersall purchased the
building in 1988.
Rich Tattersall said there were
multiple smoke detectors
throughout the structure.
Tenants are being provided
housing by the Red Cross at a lo-
cal motel for three to five days.
State police deputy fire mar-
shal Trooper Ron Jarocha said
the cause of the fire remains un-
determined. It is believed the fire
started in the apartment where
Herrera and Aponte lived.
Code enforcement actions
The building has been cited
several times since 2002 by the
Wilkes-Barre Code Enforcement
Office.
Citations include cockroachin-
festation, and piles of trash, dis-
carded rugs, appliances, mat-
tresses and tires outside the
building. The building was cited
as a public nuisance after a kitch-
en fire inside an apartment unit
on Oct. 16, 2008, according to
city records.
An apartment unit in the build-
ingwas postedby the city as unfit
for human habitation in Decem-
ber 2010 whenthe unit was found
without basic equipment, includ-
ing heating and sanitary facili-
ties.
Anyone with information
about Herrera and Aponte is
asked to call the Luzerne County
Coroners Office at 825-1664.
FIRE
Richard Tattersall and John Fixmer sit at the back of the property
where they said they sat many times and partied with the two
men who passed away in Tuesdays fire.
KINGSTON A man was
arraigned Wednesday in
Wilkes-Barre Central Court
on charges he burned his
girlfriend with a cigarette
and provided a false date of
birth to police.
Sean William Simpson, 20,
address listed as homeless,
was charged with simple

identification to law enforce-
ment. He was jailed at the

TAMPA, Fla. The man who
was once heir apparent to runthe
New York Yankees stood on the
suite level at Steinbrenner Field
as employees and friends stop-
ped to shake hands and say hello.
These days, Steve Swindal
works with players who hope to
become Yankees or RedSoxor
Cardinals or anywhere else in the
big leagues.
Married to one of George
Steinbrenners daughters, Swin-
dal was a general partner of the
team from1998-06 and chairman
of the Yankees parent company.
Steinbrenner designated him as
his successor in June 2005.
EverythingchangedonFeb. 15,
2007, whenSwindal was arrested
early in the morning for driving
under the influence. His wife,
Jennifer, filed for divorce the fol-
lowing month, the Yankees
bought out his ownership stake
that November andGeorgeStein-
brenner turned control of the
team over to son Hal Steinbren-
ner not long after.
Im always going be pulling
for the Yankees, Swindal said.
Thats never going to go away.
Now57, Swindal foundhis way
back into baseball. He helped
launch a youth academy in the
Dominican Republic, one that
has had 40 prospects sign with
major league organizations. In a
land where Major League Base-
ball has expressed concern about
shady buscones combination
trainers/scouts/agents/guardi-
ans Swindals company has
been praised for its treatment of
teenage prospects.
Its a strange turn, he said.
Life is going to be full of turns
and changes. Its how you deal
with it thats important. I had the
best 10 years of my life with the
Yankees, of my professional life. I
dont regret a minute of it.
He was at the ballpark Sunday
for the Yankees spring training
home opener to watch his daugh-
ter, aspiring Broadway actress
Haley Steinbrenner Swindal,
singthe national anthem. His son
works for the Yankees, instadium
operations in New York.
Thinner than in his Yankees
days, and with a salt-and-pepper
goatee, Swindal stood near the
elevators on the suite level, wear-
ing a North Carolina cap, for an
interview outside the press box
doors. Every two minutes some-
one stopped to say hello and ask
how he was doing.
He formed the company, the
International Academy of Profes-
sional Baseball, in December
2009 with Abel Guerra, the Yan-

INDIANAPOLIS Now that Peyton
Mannings 14-year run with the Indiana-
polis Colts is over, the only four-time
MVP in NFL history will turn his atten-
tion to finding a new team.
ManningandtheColts endedtheir suc-
cessful partnership with a tearful good-
bye Wednesday, when teamowner JimIr-
say released the star quarterback rather
than pay a whopping $28 million bonus
while there are lingering questions about
his health.
We all know that nothing lasts forev-
er, Manning said. Times change, cir-
cumstances change, and thats the reality
of playing in the NFL.
Another reality: Manning is sure to
command plenty of offers on the open
market as one of the most coveted free
agents in league history assuming he
shows he is fine after a series of neck op-
erations that forced himto miss all of last
season.
Arizona, Miami, Seattle, Tennessee,
Washington and the New York Jets all
have been rumored as possible destina-
tions; Mannings former offensive coordi-
nator in Indianapolis, Tom Moore,
worked for the Jets as a consultant last
season.
Im throwing it pretty well. Ive still
got some work to do; Ive got some pro-
gress to make, Manning said. But Ive
come a long way. Ive really worked hard.
I cant tell you the hours and the time Ive
put in.
He turns 36 this month, but his impor-
tance to the Colts success was never
more apparent than in 2011, when their
record plummeted to 2-14 without him.
Peytonis onthemendtotrytoresume
his career, Irsay noted.
Manning and Irsay each paused fre-
quently, fighting tears and their voices
shaking, as they appeared together at a
news conference at the Colts team com-
plex. It was an unusual and awkward
scene, two men whose NFL lives have
been so closely intertwined, standing
side-by-side in jackets and ties as they
told the world they were splitting up.
This has not been easy for Jim, Man-
ningsaid, andthis has certainlynot been
easy for me.
Afewhours after the news conference,
theColts issuedastatement givingtheof-
ficial news. The stark first sentence: The

terback Peyton Manning.
Indianapolis needed to cut Manning
this week to avoid paying him a bonus

hey can make our Triple-A base-
ball team play a silly season
thats bound to feel lame.
For one summer, they can take away
our game.
But they cant remove our name.
No matter where Northeastern
Pennsylvanias pro baseball team plays,
itll proudly be known as the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yank
Oh, wait. They took that, too.
Somewhere in the mad scramble to
find new homes for this years games,
the name Scranton/Wilkes-Barre fell
off their shirts.
Since those letters apparently were
hopelessly scattered all across New
York, the team will now be known as
the Empire State Yankees.
That slick switch was announced
Wednesday at a press conference in
Rochester, where the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre err, Empire State Yankees
will play 37 home games this sea-
son.
Its only for a season, they tell us.
Its only for marketing purposes,
they say.
Its only for fun, they insist.
It seems the jokes on us.
People shouldnt take it too serious-
ly, said International League presi-
dent Randy Mobley, who signed off on
the name change.
I wouldnt call it a name change,
Mobley corrected. Its an alternate
name. The formal name of the team
has not changed, will not change.
The league president went on to
reassure Northeastern Pennsylvanias
minor league baseball fans that their
team will still be known as the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in all league
proceedings.
But everywhere else, its an Empire
State identity, baby.
Which may make some dollars and
sense.
The whole idea is based on a mar-
keting scheme drummed up by Roch-
ester general manager Dan Mason,
who shrewdly saw a chance to earn
some extra capital.
When the Triple-A Yankees were
forced out of their PNC Field home
this season by a stadium renovation
project and sound the sirens as soon
as the first shovel drops on that the
team turned to New York for refuge.
The Triple-A Yankees will use six
different sites including New York
ballparks located in Batavia, Buffalo,
Rochester and Syracuse to host most
of their 2012 home schedule.
When we first heard we were going
to be hosting their games, a lot of
different thoughts run through your
head, Mason said. We felt we should
do something to commemorate this
historic season.
One of the things we talked about
with Scranton was coming up with a
nickname we could use here, Mason
continued. We thought it would be a
neat marketing idea.
That suggestion was immediately
embraced by Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
officials.
Mason said he pitched his plan to
Mandalay, which operates the SWB
Yankees, and to team president Kris-
ten Rose. Both eagerly took the
thought to the parent New York Yan-
kees, who came up with the Empire
State name.
For a Keystone state team.
Its just a one-year deal, Mason
said. The franchise is still the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees.
If it had been a suggestion to make
a hard and fast name change, Mobley
said, that would have been a prob-
lem.
Maybe this is just a short-term solu-
tion for New York towns to sell an
out-of-state team to their local fans. Or
maybe its a signal that Scranton/
Wilkes-Barres problems with bringing
the Yankees back are only starting.

Even the chairman of the tight-lipped
NCAA selection committee cant deny
this simple fact: Heading into this weeks
conference tournaments, theres Ken-
tucky and Syracuse, and then everybody
else.
In a teleconference to preview Sun-
days release of the NCAA tournament
pairings, committeechairmanJeff Hatha-
way all but handed two of the four top
seeds to the Wildcats andOrange, eachof
whom entered their conference tourna-
ments with a record of 30-1.
I think we all agree that if the season
ended today, we know who the two best
teams are, he said Wednesday. If youre
looking at 3 and 4 on the first line and the
entire second line, we have the same
handful of teams in mind but where they
would be laced will be a tremendous de-
bate.
Though Hathaway, the former athletic
director at defending national champion
Connecticut, did not get specific, among
those lumped into consideration for the
other top seeds are Duke, Kansas, North
Carolina, Missouri, Ohio State and Mi-
chigan State.
The brackets come out Sunday eve-
ning, with the tournament starting Tues-
day.
When Hathaway was pressed about his
Kentucky-Syracuse statement, he triedto
back off.
I dont want to say anyone should feel
secure, he said. If I did, those two
coaches would get after me and say we
took away some motivation.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2012 PAGE 3B
S P O R T S
DORAL, Fla. Rory McIlroy and Ti-
ger Woods are at Doral to build momen-
tum in different ways.
McIlroy is the new No. 1 in golf after
winning the Honda Classic. He is not
concerned with how long he can stay
there as much as he is winning the Ca-
dillac Championship in his last tourna-
ment before Augusta National.
This is a World Golf Championship,
and its my last event before the Mas-
ters, McIlroy said. Id love to give my-
self a chance to win here again this
week, and go into that three-week break
with a lot of confidence.
Woods is coming off a 62, the lowest
final roundof his career, hopeful that its
the strongest sign yet that he is close to
a full returntoformthat made himNo. 1
longer than anyone.
For both, last week is nothing but a
memory, albeit a happy one.
Doesnt count, Woods said Wednes-
daybeforegoingout for apracticeround
on the TPC Blue Monster at Doral.
That tournament is over with, whether
you missed the cut or won the tourna-
ment. Its over. Now were on to a new
week, a new golf course, and have to
learn it and be ready by Thursday.
What remains to be seenis whichmo-
ment is more meaningful going for-
ward.
Not only was it the best score for
Woods in more than two years, it was
nearly nine shots better than the aver-
age score in the final round at wind-
swept PGA National.
He ended his big charge with a 5-iron
that was exquisite, finishing 8 feet away
for eagle.
But he still didnt win, and hasnt won
onthe PGATour since September 2009.
Woods is coming up on a stretch of
courses he knows well. He is a three-
time winner at Doral, and its the only
tournament he regularly plays that he
has never finishedout of the top10. Two
weeks later is Bay Hill, where he has
won a record 10 times.
And while statistics can be meaning-
less, especially this early in the year,
Woods tooknote of the fact that hes No.
1 in total driving, which is a combina-
tion of accuracy (No. 5) and distance
(No. 14).
Now its on to other aspects of the
game, Woods said. Youhavetotakeup
and focus on the weaknesses, make
them strengths. And weve done that,
and we still have some more weakness-
es to look at and to fix.
There is talk of a potential rivalry,
which is possible despite Woods and
McIlroy being a generation apart.
Rivalries arent always determined by
head-to-head meetings as much as how
often players win. Thats why Woods
and Phil Mickelson established the best
rivalry of their generation.
Im going to let other people make
the comparisons, McIlroy said. Im
not going to try and compare myself to
anyone else. Ive never said that I want
to be the next anyone. I just want to be
the first Rory McIlroy, however good
that turns out to be. Then, Ill try my
best to win tournaments and to win ma-
jors and to be the best player in the
world.
Theres still a long road ahead, and I
feel like I can accomplish a lot more.

McIlroy, Tiger on the hunt at Doral
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
PEORIA, Ariz. Yu Darvish
struck out three in two scoreless
innings and made a run-saving play in
his spring training debut during the
Texas Rangers 6-2 win over a split
squad of San Diego Padres on
Wednesday.
The Rangers spent more than $107
million this winter to land the 6-
foot-5 right-hander who was a dom-
inant pitcher for seven years in Japan.
Darvishs stated goal is to become the
worlds best pitcher.
Pitching exclusively out of the
stretch, Darvish threw 36 pitches, 26
for strikes. He allowed two hits, both
doubles.
He struck out his first batter, Cam-
eron Maybin, looking, and his last,
John Baker, swinging. He also made
two nice defensive plays, one which
prevented a run in the second.
Tigers 5, Braves 1
LAKELAND, Fla. Miguel Cabre-
ra hit his first home run of the spring
and Ryan Raburn had a two-run triple
in the Detroits victory over Atlanta.
Raburn tripled against Atlanta
starter Brandon Beachy in the second
inning. Beachy gave up four runs over
two innings in his first start.
Cabrera drove a pitch from Jairo
Ascancio over the berm in the left
field corner.
Rookie Jacob Turner walked four
and didnt make it through the sec-
ond inning in his first start.
Left-hander Andy Oliver pitched
three shutout innings for Detroit.
Orioles 6, Twins 0
SARASOTA, Fla. Baltimore
newcomer Wei-Yin Chen made a neat
debut, pitching two scoreless innings
as the Orioles beat Minnesota.
Chen, a native of Taiwan, pitched
in Japan the last four seasons.
Robert Andino and Adam Jones
had RBI singles. Jai Miller hit a three-
run double in the eighth.
In his second spring start, Carl
Pavano allowed a run and six hits in
three innings. In five innings, Pavano
has given up three runs and nine hits.
Nationals 3, Cardinals 3 (9 inn.)
VIERA, Fla. Jordan Zimmer-
mann struck out three in three score-
less innings as Washington and St.
Louis played to a tie.
Cardinals reliever Lance Lynn gave
up a tying, two-run homer to Carlos
Maldonado in the ninth. The game
was called after nine innings.
Zimmermann allowed three hits
and walked one in his exhibition
debut.
St. Louis prospect Shelby Miller
made the first spring training start of
his career. He gave up a leadoff dou-
ble to Ian Desmond and an RBI single
to Jason Michaels, then retired the
side in order in the second inning.
Daniel Descalso homered for St.
Louis.
Astros 10, Phillies 3
CLEARWATER, Fla. Vance
Worley gave up two runs in his first
start of spring training and Philadel-
phia was roughed up Houston.
Worley, who finished third in the
National League Rookie of the Year
voting in 2011, allowed singles to
each of the first two batters of the
game and allowed a run in each of his
two innings. Worley wasnt too con-
cerned as he was working on his new
split-fingered changeup.
Jordan Schafer and J.D. Martinez
led the Astros. Schafer, who started
off the game with a single and scored
the first run, went 3 for 4. Martinez
had two hits and three RBIs.
Houston right-hander Bud Norris
threw three hitless innings in his first
start of the spring.
Blue Jays (SS) 8, Pirates 6
BRADENTON, Fla. Pittsburgh
starter Jeff Karstens tossed three
scoreless innings, but the Toronto
Blue Jays split squad rallied from a
four-run deficit for a victory.
Making his exhibition debut, Kar-
stens gave up two hits and struck out
one.
Backed by solo homers from Pedro
Alvarez and Garrett Jones, the Pirates
led 4-0 after three innings. Starling
Marte hit a two-run shot in the sev-
enth for Pittsburgh.
Blue Jays starter Kyle Drabek al-
lowed three runs on four hits in two
innings.
Torontos Yan Gomes hit a solo
homer in the seventh that broke a
4-all tie.
Red Sox 3,
Blue Jays (SS) 3 (9 inn.)
DUNEDIN, Fla. Toronto short-
stop Omar Vizquels throwing error
gave Boston two runs and helped the
Red Sox tie a split squad of Toronto
Blue Jays in a game halted after nine
innings.
Singles by Lars Anderson and Kelly
Shoppach in the Boston fourth and a
wild pitch by Francisco Cordero put
runners on second and third with two
outs. Vizquel fielded Juan Carlos
Linares grounder and threw low to
first, the ball skipping past Edwin
Encarnacion.
Ryan Sweeneys sacrifice fly in the
third inning gave Boston the early
lead. Encarnacions two-run single
put the Blue Jays ahead.
Rays 4, Yankees 0
TAMPA, Fla. James Shields
sailed through his first spring training
start.
The Tampa Bay right-hander
pitched two perfect innings, and the
Rays beat the New York Yankees.
Hiroki Kuroda allowed three runs
and three hits over two innings dur-
ing his Yankees spring training de-
but. New York signed the former Los

million, one-year contract.
The Rays are playing without Evan
Longoria, who has a bruised right
hand.
Stephen Vogt, who had 105 RBIs at
Double and Triple-A last season,

Kuroda during a three-run second. He
finished 3 for 3.
Mets 7, Marlins (SS) 0
JUPITER, Fla. Justin Turner
homered, had three hits and drove in
three runs for New York in a win over
a Miami Marlins split-squad that did
not include former Mets star Jose
Reyes.
Jonathon Niese pitched two hitless
innings and struck out two for the
Mets.
Turner had two RBI singles in his
first two at-bats before homering to
left field off of Rob Rasmussen.
Reyes, who left the Mets for the
Marlins, was in Miami for the other
split-squad game.

NCAA
UM may have broken rule
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Michigans
football program might have violated a
secondary NCAA rule.
Spokesman Justin Dickens con-
firmed Wednesday that the schools
compliance department has been noti-
fied a rule may have been broken by
receiver Roy Roundtree and linebacker
Kenny Demens.
The two posted messages on their
Twitter accounts to congratulate a
recruit.
Roundtree and Demens tweeted to
linebacker Mike McCray of Trotwood-
Madison High School in Ohio after the
highly touted prospect decided to play
for the Wolverines. NCAA rules prohib-
it messages being sent to recruits
through social media from accounts
affiliated with someone from the
school.
Temple to join Big East
NEW YORK Temple will join the
Big East for football next season, with
all its other sports moving to the con-
ference in 2013.
The school announced the switch
Wednesday.
Temple has played in the MAC in
football and the Atlantic 10 for other
sports.
Adding the Owls allows the Big East
to replace West Virginia, which is leav-
ing for the Big 12, on its football sched-
ule next season.
Temple previously played in the Big
East in just football but was pushed out
in 2004 because the program was strug-
gling badly. The Owls turned their
fortunes around in the MAC.

Fenway Park earns listing
on Historic Places register
BOSTON The century-old home
of the Boston Red Sox is being listed
on the National Register of Historic
Places to help ensure decades of new
thrills.
Fenway Park has seen heart-stopping
wins and crushing defeats and hosted
baseball greats Babe Ruth, Ted Wil-
liams and Carl Yastrzemski.
The register listing means changes
to Fenway are subject to review by the
Massachusetts Historical Commission.
The Red Sox say they sought the
designation and are pleased the ball-
park will be counted among Americas
most treasured historical places.
Fenway was built during the Golden
Age of Ballparks. Its first official game
was played April 20, 1912. Its the na-
tions oldest operating major-league
baseball stadium.
It hasnt always been so revered. In
the 1960s, it faced possible demolition.
In the 1990s, there were plans for a new
park on the South Boston waterfront.
NFL
Seahawks release Trufant
RENTON, Wash. The Seattle
Seahawks have released cornerback
Marcus Trufant, who missed most of
last season with a back injury.
Seahawks general manager John
Schneider says the team decided to
release Trufant on Wednesday to give
him an opportunity to explore the full
window of unrestricted free agency.
Drafted by Seattle with the 11th
overall pick in 2003, Trufant started all
but one of the 124 regular-season
games he played with the Seahawks.
He also started all nine postseason
games he played with the team.

A Penguins legend in bronze
Hockey fans pause to take pictures of
a statue depicting Pittsburgh Pen-
guins Hall of Fame center Mario Le-
mieux outside the Consol Energy
Center before Wednesday nights
game between the Penguins and the
Toronto Maple Leafs in Pittsburgh.
NEW YORK Senior Henry Sims
and freshman Otto Porter each
scored 20 points to lead No. 13 Ge-
orgetown to a 64-52 victory over
Pittsburgh on Wednesday in the sec-
ond round of the Big East tourna-
ment.
Sims grabbed 13 rebounds for the
fifth-seeded Hoyas (23-7), who will
play fourth-seeded Cincinnati in the
quarterfinals on Thursday at Madison
Square Garden. Georgetown lost to
eventual champion Connecticut in the
second round of last years Big East
tournament.
Ashton Gibbs had 14 points for the
13th-seeded Panthers (17-16), who
went through two 8-minute scoring
droughts during the game and
couldnt recover from Georgetowns
16-2 run to close the first half that
gave the Hoyas a 31-23 lead.
Louisville 61, Seton Hall 55
NEW YORK Peyton Siva had 14
points and six steals, and Louisville
held off Seton Hall to reach the Big
East tournament quarterfinals, leaving
the Pirates to sweat out Selection
Sunday as they hope for an NCAA
tournament bid.
Kyle Kuric added 13 points and
Gorgui Dieng stuffed Seton Hall in-
side with six blocks and 10 rebounds
to help the seventh-seeded Cardinals
advance to play ninth-ranked and
second-seeded Marquette on Thurs-
day night at Madison Square Garden.
Russ Smith scored five of his 11
down the stretch as Louisville (23-9)
thwarted Seton Halls late charge to
stop a two-game skid. Jordan Theo-
dore scored 17 and Herb Pope had 11
points and 15 rebounds to lead the
10th-seeded Pirates (20-12), sitting
tenuously on the NCAA bubble. Set-
on Hall shot just 33 percent in-
cluding 3 of 19 from 3-point range
and lost for the 10th time in its final
15 games.
Lehigh 82, Bucknell 77
LEWISBURG Gabe Knutson
blocked Cameron Ayers baseline
layup attempt with 7 seconds left and
C.J. McCollum scored 29 points to
help Lehigh hold off Bucknell to win
the Patriot League tournament.
After Mackey McKnight missed
two foul shots, the Bison trailed 78-
77 and had a chance to take the lead,
but couldnt get the ball into leading
scorer Mike Muscala.
LIU 90, Robert Morris 73
NEW YORK Julian Boyd scored
18 points, Jason Brickman had 11
assists and Long Island Universitys
fast-breaking Blackbirds made it two
straight Northeast Conference cham-
pionships with a victory against Rob-
ert Morris.
In a rematch of last seasons NEC
title game thriller, Boyd and the
Blackbirds (25-8) didnt need over-
time to fend off the Colonials (24-10)
this year and earn another NCAA bid.
And they drew New Yorks most fa-
mous basketball fan to their little
gym on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn.
Spike Lee jumped from his seat,
arms raised, when Boyd hit a 3 point-
er that put LIU up 68-54 with 6:20
remaining.
Velton Jones, RMUs leading scorer,
was knocked hard to the floor in the
opening minutes and appeared to
come away with sore ribs. He played
most of the game and scored 10
points, though he shot 3 for 12.

Heres a look at the nine
Wyoming Valley Conference
wrestlers competing in the
PIAA Championships at the
Giant Center in Hershey today
through Saturday with their
profile of accomplishments and
a size-up of their respective
brackets:
CLASS 2A
Dominic DeGraba, Dallas
(106) Grade: 11 Record: 42-8;
First bout: Wilson Area junior
Jaryd Flank (37-4), who is the
No. 5 seed from the Southeast
Regional.
Notes: A
two-time re-
gional qual-
ifier, DeGraba
claimed his
first district
title two weeks
ago and
claimed his
first regional title last weekend
to qualify for the PIAA Cham-
pionships for the first time. His
42 wins are the most of any
WVC wrestler this season. In
his first two varsity seasons, he
has 80 wins.
School Notes: He is the first
Mountaineer to qualify for the
state tournament since John
McCue advanced at 215 in
2006. A state title for DeGraba
would be the first in wrestling
in Dallas school history. A
medal would be Dallas first
since Matt Gingo placed sev-
enth in 1999.
Sizing up the bracket: The
defending state champion,
Jason Nolf from Kittanning is
now wrestling at 113. The two
top-ranked grapplers according
to Premier PA Rankings, Darian
Cruz (39-2) from Bethlehem
Catholic and Justin Patrick
(35-1) from Ligonier Valley are
on the opposite side of DeGra-
ba.
A first-round win for DeGraba
would likely set up a quarterfi-
nal bout against the third-
ranked wrestler in the state in
Boiling Springs freshman Kor-
bin Myers (44-3).
Vito Pasone, Meyers (113)
Grade: 12 Record: 33-4; First
bout: Bishop McDevitt sopho-
more Terrence White (34-9),
who is the No. 5 seed from the
Southeast
Region.
Notes: A
four-time
regional qual-
ifier, Pasone is
now a three-
time state
qualifier and
will be trying
to improve on last years sev-
enth-place showing. Hes com-
ing off his first regional cham-
pionship, which followed a
runner-up finish in 2011 and a
third-place showing in 2009.
School Notes: Pasone is a
four-time District 2 champion
and holds the Meyers record
for most career wins with 142.
A state title would add to the
Mohawks District 2 record of 13
and would be the first for the
Mohawks since Joe Rovelli in
2004.
Sizing up the bracket: Pa-
sone is ranked third in the state
according to Premier PA Rank-
ings. The first two ranked ac-
cording to the publication
Kittannings Jason Nolf (39-0)
and Trinitys Ryan Diehl (37-0)
are on the opposite side of
Pasone. With a win over White,
Pasone may see Ligonier Valley
junior Joshua Patrick in the
quarters. The Mohawk defeated
Patrick 7-4 in last years first
round. But Patrick has to get
past Boiling Springs Joseph
Byers, who was second in the
state at 103 last year. Diehl won
a state title last year in West
Virginia, while Nolf won a gold
at 103 last year.
Austin Harry, Lake-Lehman
(126) Grade: 10 Record: 37-1;
First bout: Philadelphia-Mont
Christian sophomore Richie
Cerebe (35-2), the No. 5 seed
from the Southeast Region.
Notes: Harry, now a two-time
state qualifier, is coming off his
first Northeast
Regional
championship
and his second
straight dis-
trict title. He
enters this
weekend with
a 73-9 career
record.
School Notes: Harry is trying
to be the first sophomore from
Lake-Lehman to win a state
medal since Matt Dragon took
fifth at 130 in 2003. He became
the first regional champ for the
Black Knights since Dragon and
Andy Josuweit both won gold
in 2005. A state championship
would be the fifth all-time for
Lehman and the first since
Scott Davis won in 2007. The
last state medal for Lehman
was Shane Starks third-place in
2010.
Sizing up the bracket:
Three-time defending state
champion Jimmy Gulibon (22-1)
from Derry Area is on the op-
posite side of Harry, so the two
could only meet in the finals. In
Harrys half of the bracket, the
only two state placewinners
from last year are Schuylkill
Valleys Arty Walsh (36-3) and
Central Cambrias Ben Rager
(35-2), who both took fifth, but
are facing off in the prelimin-
aries. Gulibon is ranked first in
the state according to Premier
PA Rankings, while Walsh is
second, Rager fourth and Ha-
novers Ian Brown (35-2) third,
who will have to go through
Gulibon to reach the finals.
Andy Schutz, Wyoming
Area (132) Grade: 11 Record:
30-3; First bout: South Hun-
tingdon junior Brennan Shields
(35-8), the No. 2 seed out of
the Southwest Regional.
Notes: Schutz is making his
first state appearance after a
third-place showing at last
weekends regional tourna-
ment. Last month, he wrapped
up his school-
record third
district cham-
pionship and
currently has
96 career
wins. In 2010,
Schutz placed
fourth in the
region.
School Notes: Wyoming
Area has never crowned a state
champion in wrestling. The
Warriors only have four state
medalists in school history and
Schutz could be the first med-
alist since Don Morgan claimed
third in 1996.
Schutzs first opponent,
Shields, is unranked according
to Premier PA Rankings, while
the Warriors standout is 10th.
But possibly waiting for Schutz
in the quarterfinals is Bigler-
villes Laike Gardner (38-4),
who is ranked fourth according
to the publication and was the
state runner-up last year. Be-
thlehem Catholics Randy Cruz
(38-2) and Bentons Colt Cotten
(33-2) are ranked first and
second, respectively and sit on
the opposite side of the brack-
et. Then theres Claysburg-
Kimmels James Dodson (37-0)
atop the bracket as the lone
unbeaten in the weight and
Reynolds senior Dylan DUrso
(36-1), who placed third a year
ago.
Darren Stucker, Meyers
(145) Grade: 12 Record: 24-5;
First bout: Fort LeBoeuf senior
Kody Pace (44-8), who enters
as the second seed from the
Northwest Region.
Notes: Stucker, who is partic-
ipating in his first state tourna-
ment, placed fourth in the
region last weekend and is a
two-time District 2 Class 2A
champion. The three-time re-
gional qualifier now has a pair
of regional medals and enters
the PIAA Championships with
87 career
wins.
School
Notes: A state
title would be
the first for
the Mohawks
since Joe
Rovelli was
crowned titlist
in 2004. Stucker could join
teammate Vito Pasone as a
state medalist. Pasone took
seventh last year.
Stuckers first opponent qual-
ified for last years tournament,
but didnt place. A win for
Stucker could set up a bout
with Juniata senior Zach Beitz
(38-1), who is ranked first in the
state according to Premier PA
Rankings and finished third in
the state last year. Hughes-
villes Kyle Barnes (37-0), the
lone unbeaten in the weight
and is ranked second in the
state, sits atop the bracket,
while Stucker is near the bot-
tom. Only two others in the
bracket Ryan Todora (35-9)
from Bethlehem Catholic and
Joe Hibbler (32-5) from Seneca
were placewinners last year.
They are both on Stuckers half
of the bracket.
CLASS 3A
Kyle Hankinson, Crestwood
(145) Grade: 12 Record: 27-3;
First bout: Canon-McMillan
senior Dario Dobbin (36-9),
who wrapped up the second
seed from the Southwest Re-
gion last weekend.
Notes: Making his first state
appearance, Hankinson is a
four-time regional qualifier and
a two-time district champ. He
enters this weekend with 95
career wins
after finishing
second at the
Northeast
Regional Tour-
nament last
weekend.
School
Notes: A gold
medal would
be the fourth all-time for Crest-
wood and the teams first since
Joe Kemmerer in 2004. A state
medal would be the first for the
Comets since Jake OHara
placed third in 2009.
Sizing up the bracket: East-
ons Mitchell Minotti (37-0) is a
defending PIAA champion,
while Chambersburg junior
Garett Hammond (35-4) was
runner-up a year ago. Ham-
mond and Hankinson could
square off in the quarters if
both are victorious in the first
round. After those two, only
Hankinsons first opponent was
a state medalist last year tak-
ing seventh. No other participa-
nt in Hankinsons half of the
bracket were state qualifiers in
2011.
Chad Hoffman, Hazleton
34-4; First bout: P.J. Steinmetz
(39-3), a junior from Council
Rock South and the Southeast
Regional champion.
Notes: Hoffman is coming off
his second
straight third-
place showing
at the North-
east Regional
Tournament to
become a
two-time state
qualifier. He
took eighth at
states last year and enters with
108 career victories.
School Notes: Hoffman is
looking to become just the
second PIAA Champion in Ha-
zleton Area history joining Nate
Eachus in 2007. The last med-
alists for the Cougars came in
2010 when Pat LaBuz took sixth
and Jared Kay placed third.
Sizing up the bracket: Hoff-
mans first opponent didnt
qualify for this event last sea-
son, but he is still ranked fourth
in the state according to Pre-
mier PA Rankings, one spot
ahead of Hoffman. Perry Hills
(31-0) from Pittsburgh Central
Catholic placed fourth last
season and is ranked first ac-
cording to PPR. He could be
waiting for Hoffman if both
advance to the semifinals.
Wilson (West Lawn) sophomore
Hunter Hatlee (37-6) or Belle-
fonte junior Nicholas Shawley
(36-7), who both did not qualify
last year, could see Hoffman in
the quarters.
Chris Wesolowski, Pittston
21-12; First bout: Kiski Area
sophomore Shane Kuhn (34-4),
who enters as the second seed
from the Northwest Region.
Notes: Wesolowski, the No. 2
seed the Northeast Regional, is
making his first trip to Hershey.
He also advanced to regionals
last weekend
for the first
time after a
runner-up
showing at
districts. His
last five losses
have all come
to Coughlins
Brad Emerick
(39-0). He hasnt lost to anyone
other than Emerick since De-
cember.
School Notes: Wesolowski is
trying to become just the sec-
ond state champion for the
Patriots and could join his
coach, James Woodall, in that
category; Woodalls title came
in 1999. The last medalist for
Pittston Area was Robbie Rob-
inson, who placed second in
2008.
His half of the bracket: We-
solowskis first opponent is the
runner-up from the Southwest
Region and did not qualify for
the PIAAs last season. Cham-
bersburg senior Dawson Peck
(10-0) is ranked first in the state
according to Premier PA Rank-
ings after knocking off defend-
ing state champion Averee
Robinson (38-3) in the South
Central Regional final. Peck was
also runner-up last year to
Robinson. Josh Duplin (34-1)
from Westmont Hilltop placed
fifth in the state last year.
Brad Emerick, Coughlin
(285) Grade: 11 Record: 39-0;
First bout: McDowell sopho-
more Scot Augustine (34-7),
who is the third seed from the
Northwest Region.
Notes: Emerick has won
several gold medals this season
and would love to leave Her-
shey with one more. Hes com-
ing off his first regional and
district championship and is
participating in his first state
event. He has the most wins in
his bracket
and is the only
unbeaten
wrestler with
more than 10
wins in the
weight class.
Chambers-
burgs Dawson
Peck is 10-0.
School Notes: A state title
for Emerick would be the first
in school history for the Cru-
saders. Last year, Josh Popple
was runner-up and became just
the third wrestler in school
history to advance to the state
final.
His half of the bracket: A
win in the first round for the
fifth-ranked wrestler in the
state according to Premier PA
Rankings would likely set up a
match against defending state
champion Averee Robinson
(38-3) from Susquehanna
Township. Cody Klempay (38-1)
from Canon-McMillan took third
in the state last year and is
ranked third in the state. Klem-
pay and Robinson are the only
two in Emericks side of the
bracket who were state qual-
ifiers last season.

* Programs no longer exist
he signed in July, although both
owner and player insisted the de-
cision was not really about mon-
ey. The Colts are widelyexpected
to begin moving on by taking
Stanford quarterback Andrew
Luck with the No. 1 overall pick
in Aprils draft.
Irsay repeatedly used the word
rebuilding and acknowledged:
Were definitely a few years
away.
Manning wont retire and
hopes to be playing in the NFL at
the start of next season.
Still, he said Wednesday: Ill
always be a Colt. I always will be.
Thatll never change.
The announcement was made
in a room at the Colts complex
normally reserved for celebrato-
ry news conferences, such as the
hiring of a new coach or general
manager two other major
steps Irsay took recently. The
room is lined with banners hon-
oring some of the teams greatest
stars, including, of course, Man-
ninghimself, flankedbyProFoot-
ball Hall of Famer members Eric
Dickerson and John Mackey.
Clearly, this was not an easy
goodbye for Manning. He even
got choked up while discussing
all of the Colts employees hell no
longer be around, pausing to col-
lect himself while noting: Weve
got the greatest equipment guys
in the world.
I think about those type of re-
lationships not necessarily al-
ways on the field, and the touch-
down throw to win the game. Its
the behind the scenes. The
laughs. The stories. The times
spent together. Those are the me-
mories. Those arent going away.
Those will be withme for the rest
of my life.
Manning forever will be
thought of around these parts as
No. 18, the quarterback who led
the Colts to an NFL champion-
ship, barking out signals while
waving his arms at the line of
scrimmage to change a play after
reading the defense some-
thing he did as well as any QB.
Hell be remembered, too, for
his record four MVP awards, his
50,000 yards passing and his 200
consecutive starts. Most of all,
Manning will be the guy in the
horseshoe helmet who turned
around a franchise and trans-
formed a basketball-loving city
into a football hotbed that hosted
the Super Bowl a month ago.
And during that Super Bowl
week, the hottest topic of conver-
sation was Peyton Manning, not
his younger brother Eli, who
wound up leading the New York
Giants to the title.
There will be no other Peyton
Manning, Irsay said, adding that
he hoped Wednesdays joint ap-
pearance would serve to honor
incredible memories and incred-
ible things that hes done for the
franchise, for the city, for the
state.
This marks the end of a strong
marriage between a player and
team.
MANNING
Continued fromPage 1B
Coughlins Brad Emerick (3A,
285) are significant in many
ways.
The three 2Atitlists mark the
first time thats happenedinDis-
trict 2 since Berwicks trio of
Tyler Perry, Nick Venditti and
AaronKarns wongoldmedals in
2007. Thelast timethreeregion-
al winners were crowned from
three different schools occurred
in 2004. A pair of state cham-
pions from the WVC were
crowned that year in Meyers
Joe Rovelli (2A) and Crest-
woods Joe Kemmerer (3A).
Four regional winners from
four different schools hasnt
happened for the conference
since 2007, which also saw a
pair of PIAA champions
crowned in Lake-Lehmans
Scott Davis (2A) and Eachus
(3A).
It just so happens that all four
schools that fielded those past
champions are wrestling this
weekend.
That could be a good omen
for the nine WVC stars.
There are many other bright
spots for WVC participants as
well.
Emerick (39-0) is one of just
11 undefeated wrestlers in the
3A tourney. The last unbeaten
from the WVC to enter states
was Emericks teammate, Josh
Popple, who advanced to last
years state final.
Emerick is joined in his brack-
et byPittstonAreas Chris Weso-
lowski. When they both made
the regional final, it marked the
third straight year and the
fourthtime infive years that two
D2 wrestlers wrestled for a re-
gional title in the same weight.
Seven of those eight participa-
nts walked away with a state
medal the same year.
Then theres Crestwoods
Kyle Hankinson (3A, 145), who
may have won a regional title if
he didnt run into a defending
state champion in Eastons
Mitchell Minotti in the regional
finals bout.
Hankinson, along with
Meyers Darren Stucker, havent
wrestled in many matches this
season due to injuries so they
may be overlooked in their re-
spective brackets. But if they
hadparticipatedina full season,
they may be close to combining
for 80 wins. They were both
fourth-place finishers in the re-
gion in 2011 and are ready for a
state run.
How about Hazleton Areas
Chad Hoffman at 195 in Class
3A?
The senior, along with Pa-
sone, are the only returning
state qualifiers from 2010. Hoff-
man placed eighth last year,
while Pasone was seventh.
When a wrestler places one
year, he often improves the next
season.
The last time a Cougar qual-
ified for states in back-to-back
seasons was Pat LaBuz in 2009
and 2010. LaBuz was cruising in
thetournament beforedropping
out in the semis with an injury.
He still placed sixth his second
year. The last Mohawk to im-
prove on his state performance
was Rovelli after taking second
in 2003.
DeGraba enters the event
with the most wins of any con-
ference qualifier with 42. The
last to lead the league in wins
and advance to states was Pop-
ple.
Wyoming Areas Andy Schutz
(2A, 132), a third-place finisher
at regionals, is the first in school
history to win three District 2
golds. He surpassed Don Mor-
gan (1996 grad) and four other
two-time district champs. Mor-
ganis also the last Warrior wres-
tler to qualify for states when he
took third in 1996; that place is
the highest in school history.
So with history on Schutzs
side could more be on the way?
Dont forget about Harry.
The Lehman sophomore be-
came the first freshman from
the WVC in recent history to
win a match in the state tourna-
ment last season. The last soph-
omore from all of District 2 to
win a few matches was Lacka-
wanna Trails Eric Laytos, who
capped his that 2010 season
with a state gold at 215 in Class
2A.
With so much history being
talked about this weekend, it
may bode well for the locals to
add to it.
WRESTLING
dor to the Dominican Republic.
(Hertell was bought out by the
other two this year). In ex-
change for a percentage of any
eventual signing bonus, the a-
cademy houses, feeds, schools
and trains potential players on a
complex in Boca Chica that in-
cludes a full field and an infield.
The company also rents a house
in Panama and uses a field
across the street, then sends
players to the Dominican com-
plex when they are ready. It also
employs a scout in Venezuela.
Some of these students have
never gone to schools or drop-
ped out at the third- or fourth-
grade level. We try to give them
some life skills, Guerra said,
describing how they attend
night school during the week
and Dominican schools on the
weekend.
Rafael Perez, MLBs director
of Dominicanoperations, calls it
the nicest academy of any
agent, saying its similar to the
complex the Yankees had built
right across the street. And
they produce a lot of players.

there needs to
be a fewfixes
prior tothe
next two-year

First, if the district keeps the
same format, it needs toseedthe
teams inClass 3Aand2Aregard-
less of whether they play inthe
WyomingValley Conference or
Lackawanna League. There is
absolutely noway GARandRiv-
erside shouldhave playedinthe

By gettingthe WVCNo. 2seed,
GARdrewa tougher opening-
roundopponent thanWVCNo. 3
seedHanover Area, whichplayed
Lakelandout of the Lackawanna
League.
Class 4Aalsoneeds some
tinkering. District 4s William-
sport was seededfourthbecause
it hada worst overall recordthan
Delaware Valley, the thirdseed.
That made top-seededScranton,
consideredDistrict 2s best team,
face Williamsport inthe semi-
finals where it lost inovertime.
Williamsport went ontode-
molishDelVal 54-22inthe title
game.
Apossible change couldbe
makingWilliamsport nolower
thanthe thirdseedas longas its
overall recordis above .500. The
Millionaires play anindependent
schedule that is muchtougher
thanmany aroundhere.
After talkingwithandlistening
toseveral WVCcoaches about
district playoffs, as well as dia-
tribe by one coachonwhy his

another made it, lets just say
theyre not a happy bunchoverall.

He said injuries or a suspen-
sion, each of which the commit-
tee considers when making up
thebracket, couldchangethepic-
ture.
The bottom line is, everyone
today knows that if the season
ended, we would say those two
teams are the best in the coun-
try, Hathaway said.
As is typical in the lead-up to
Selection Sunday, the chairman
talked a lot about process but of-
feredfewspecifics or promises.
He said the Big Ten, widely
perceived as the strongest con-
ference top to bottom this sea-
son, would not receive special
considerationfor a top seed.
The fact of the matter is, con-
ferenceRPI andconferencerank-
ings arenot brought upintherat-
ing room at all, Hathaway said,
speaking to a change the selec-
tioncommittee made inthe time
since he joinedfive years ago.
He said the knee injury to
freshman Branden Dawson of
Michigan State, denying the
Spartans of an eight-point, four-
rebound player as they head into
the postseason, could play into
their seeding.
The ... great thing about this
situation is, were going to have
the ability to see Michigan State
play without him in the Big Ten
tournament, Hathaway said.
Twoyearsago, Purduelost two
of its last fivegames headinginto
the tournament after high-scor-
ingforwardRobbieHummel tore
up his knee late in the season.
The committee droppedthe Boi-
lermakers, once a top-seed con-
tender, intoa No. 4seedandcon-
ceded Hummels injury made
Purdue a different team and af-
fectedtheir decision.
Hathaway said committee
members have been instructed
to look at teams on their own
merits, without lumping them
into the usual categories mid-
majorsvs. BCSorpower-confer-
ence teams.
The number of mid-majors
that earn at-large bids is always
widely scrutinized. Last year,
there were seven one fewer
thanin2010, but threemorethan
in 2009 and VCUmade the Fi-
nal Four. Meanwhile, mid-major
Butler has been in the last two fi-
nals, though the Bulldogs strug-
gledthisyearandarentexpected
to make the tournament.
Among those on the bubble
this year are South Florida, Mia-
mi, Texas, North Carolina State
and Colorado State. The Rams
fate might be as telling as any-
ones. Theyarealow-profile, mid-
major team with 18 Division I
wins, only three of which were
awaygames. YettheyhaveanRPI
rating of 22 and the eighth most
difficult strengthof schedule.
We look at the body of work,
front to back, beginning to end,
Hathaway said. We put themup
against other teams that are be-
ing considered for selection.
Thats the bulk of the work.
Thats why we spend so many
days and hours here. We make
surewecompareall theteams, ir-
regardless of what conference
they come from.
Hathaway said this was the
most challenging year hes spent
inhis half-decadeonthecommit-
tee.
Theres a greater number of
quality teams this year than
weve ever seen before, he said.
We said that last year. We feel
theres more quality this year.
And certainly thats going to
maketheprocessevenmorechal-
lenging.

Bemis gets energy grant
Bemis Polyethylene Packaging Divi-
sion, West Hazleton, received a $7,454
grant from Ben Franklin Technology
Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania
that will help Bemis find ways to use
waste heat to offset other energy con-
sumption and reduce manufacturing
costs.
Bemis makes flexible packaging for
the bakery industry at its plant in the
Valmont Industrial Park.
Ben Franklin Technology Partners
announced a total of $330,873 in grants
and investments. Bemis was the only
Luzerne County firm to receive aid.
Borrowing bounces back
The Federal Reserve says consumer
borrowing rose by $17.8 billion in Janu-
ary after similar gains in December and
November.
Total consumer borrowing has
climbed back to a seasonally adjusted
$2.5 trillion. That nearly matches the
pre-recession borrowing level.
The January gain was driven by
$20.7 billion increase in category that
mostly measures demand for auto and
student loans. It was the biggest in-
crease for that category since Novem-
ber 2001. Borrowing on credit cards fell
$2.9 billion in January after four
months of gains.
Survey predicts hiring
Companies are poised to boost em-
ployment as confidence in the econo-
my climbed to the highest level in a
year, a quarterly survey of chief fi-
nancial officers showed Wednesday.
The projected increase in hiring in
the survey of CFOs is about double
what is needed to absorb population
gains and keep the unemployment rate
steady, said John Graham, director of
the survey and a finance professor at
Duke University. That means, by this
time next year, joblessness may dip as
low as 7.5 percent, he said.

Theres been an
increasing conver-
gence between the
good ol TV and high-
tech computers, and
Luddites beware, it
shows no signs of
stopping.
The latest models from Samsung
have been at the forefront of many of
these changes, and its ES8000 LED
TV is no exception. A so-called Smart
TV, the ES8000 was announced at the
2012 Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas.
What makes the ES8000 so smart?
Well, its got quite a bit in common
with the latest tablet computers its
got a webcam, a dual-core processor
and much, much more.
It has voice recognition technology
so now instead of needing to use a
remote, you can just yell at the TV
and it will listen.
Its also got facial recognition tech-
nology, thanks to the integrated web-
cam, so if you like to have the volume
cranked all the way up, the contrast
turned all the way down, and the
sound set to Theater mode all the
time, you dont need to go into the
settings. The webcam can also recog-
nize gestures, allowing users to con-
trol the TV silently without a remote.
While voice command and gestural
control can be useful, having grown up
in an Italian household, its easy for
me to see how these features could
cause problems, too.
Its also got apps (no big news there,
since TVs have been sporting apps for
some time), but what sets this one
apart is that its designed for video
conferencing and calls from the
ground up so whether it graces a
living room or a conference room, you
dont need any extra equipment, since
the TVs integrated hardware and apps
can handle all of that.
The powerful dual-core processor
allows you to multi-task effectively, so
I suppose you could pretend to be
attending a video conference while
watching a movie on Netflix.
Oh, and its a TV too, and a pretty
good one, sporting LED backlight
technology, a 240Hz refresh rate, and
full HD and 3D capabilities all in a
relatively compact chassis. The
ES8000 comes in sizes ranging from
46 inches to 75 inches the smaller
model can be found for about $2,700,
while the 75-inch display will set you
back $7,600.
Pretty pricey for a TV these days
the bells and whistles are certainly
worth a few extra dollars, but in a year
or so, you might be able to pick one
up for half the price.
Computer, TV become Smart TV

NEW JAPANESE/SUSHI EATERY OPENS IN W-B
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
J
ohn Qiu, who owns the new Akeno Sushi restaurant with his wife, Teresa, explains the menu to Jack
Jones of Luzerne Bank during Wednesdays grand opening. The restaurant is at 72 S. Main St.,
Wilkes-Barre, in the University Corners complex. In addition to sushi, Japanese hibachi dinners are
available. Akeno will be open for lunch and dinner every day. Call 825-8880 for more information.
SAN FRANCISCO Apple
gave the new iPad a bunch of
newfeatures but no newname.
When it goes on sale next
week in the U.S. and several
other countries, it will be the
iPad or perhaps the new
iPad not iPad 3 or iPad
HD, as some had speculated.
The lack of a new name
could cause confusion for
buyers, particularly since the
older model, the iPad 2, will
still be sold. But the naming
practice is consistent with Ap-
ples practices for the iPod.
New models were simply
called iPod, and consumers
were left to figure out which
generation of the product they
were looking for.
The new iPad revealed
Wednesday has, as expected, a
sharper screen, driven by a fas-
ter processor. What was more
surprisingwasthat thenewfea-
tures mean the tablet comput-
er will be slightly thicker and
heavier than the iPad 2, be-
cause it needs a larger battery.
Prices arent changing from
the previous models. They will
start at $499. Versions capable
of accessing cellular networks
will cost $629 to $829.
Apple is keeping the basic
model of the iPad 2 in produc-
tion and dropping the price to
$399.
Apple said the new display
will be sharper than the aver-
age living roomhigh-definition
television set, and show more
vibrant colors than previous
models.
The newiPad will go on sale
March16 in the U.S., Australia,
Canada, France, Germany,
Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Ri-
co, Singapore, Switzerland,
United Kingdom and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. A week later, it
will goonsale in25more coun-
tries.
Apples new iPad features sharper screen, more bulk
HARTFORD, Conn. The parent compa-
ny of the Mohegan Sun casinos announced
Wednesday it has refinanced debt of about $1
billion, buying it more time, an analyst said,
amid hopes that business will strengthen
with an improving economy.
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority,
which owns casinos in Uncasville, Conn., and
Plains Township, said it has negotiated with
lenders theexchangeof several notes, extend-
ing the due date for repayment to 2016 and
2018. The earliest notes were due next year.
Bruce Two Dogs Bozsum, chairman of
theauthoritys management boardandMohe-
gan Tribal Council, said the deal is expected
to win approval from investors.
In addition to renegotiating debt of $961.8
million, the tribal gaming authority said it al-
so established $225 million in credit.
Several Indian-run casinos are struggling
to refinance debt after being caught short
when the economy went into recession in De-
cember 2007.
Keith Foley, an analyst at Moodys Inves-
tors Service, said the gaming authority did
not reduce its debt load but won time for
more flexibility.
Foley praised the gaming authority for not
seeking debt forgiveness, which could have
alarmed investors demanding a full return on
their money.
Mitchell Grossinger Etess, chief executive
of the authority, said in an interview that the
deal gives the tribal business more time to de-
velop its business and pay down debt.
He said the gaming authority also sought
to fulfill its obligations to its lenders.

Today will be
about as warm
as it was on
Wednesday
thanks to having
gusty winds
from the south
and a limited
amount of
sunshine. Skies
will turn cloudy
later today as a
line of showers
moves closer
along a cold
front. Rain could
arrive here as
early as 5 p.m.
and continue up
until around
midnight.
Rainfall totals
will range from 2
to 4 tenths of an
inch. Clearing
will follow for
Friday with
colder tempera-
tures moving in
for the start of
the weekend.
Saturday will be
a sunny day with
light winds, and
Sunday is look-
ing real good
with warmer
temperatures.
Indeed, a nice
day for a parade.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will generate showers and thunderstorms from the western
Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley. Strong to severe storms will be possible from northeastern Texas to
southern Arkansas. A cold front will produce showers from the eastern Great Lakes into portions of
the Northeast. Snow will fall from southern Colorado to the Texas panhandle.

Life S E C T I O N C

Remember when everyone used to
dress up for church? For the theater?
For a nice dinner out?
Yes, this happened in Northeastern
Pennsylvania, too.
Those days may seemlong gone, but
not everyone is sounding an alarm.
Lifestyles have changed. Nowevery-
ones running all the time, RuthCorco-
ran, owner of Cork Bar and Restaurant
in Wilkes-Barre, said. Whatever peo-
ple have on at the given time that
theyre going to eat is just fine to wear
out.
Corcoran said she has noticed a shift
from the time Cork opened about five
years ago.
People were dressing up on Friday
and Saturday nights, but now they re-
serve that for really special occasions,
like anniversaries, birthdays, first
dates.
But what about occasions that seem
to cry out for respect, perhaps in the
form of proper attire?
Some people dress better for a first
date than they would to come to some-
ones service, funeral director Debbie
Strish Katra, of the George Strish Fu-
neral Home in Ashley, said. I think
people think that its more acceptable. I
personally would not wear jeans to a
viewing or wake, because I believe its
proper to wear something that you
wouldnt just wear around the house.
Katra, who has been in the business
since the1980s, said she also has seen a
change in the past four or five years,
particularly for viewings. She hasnt no-
ticedmany folks wearingsweatpants or
the ever-popular pajama pants to view-
In NEPA, for better or worse,
we, too, have fallen for casual.

AKLAND, Calif. When the
world finally collapses, it may
be under a massive pile of
rippedjeans fromAbercrombie &Fitch.
When archaeologists fromspace sift
through our ashes on this cold dead
rock, they will not find remains of the
days of yore: the French cuffs, the ster-
ling-silver tie bars, the sleek pencil
skirts and silk blouses of the mid 20th
century. No, those were replaced long
ago with mutilated denim and logo T-
shirts adopted for any occasion, de-
volving further into the rumpled, fad-
ed, polka-dot pajama bottoms tucked
into black socks on a 42-year-old man
at the Nob Hill in Alameda, Calif.
I guess it is kinda bad, huh, he said re-
cently, hanging his head in mock shame and
chuckling at his public display of apathy
not daringtoreveal his identityfor fear of his
wifes mortification. Well, isnt the world
supposed to end this year? Then who cares,
right? I might as well be comfortable whenit
happens.
Somewhere along the line, Casual Fridays
have become Casual Every Day with spiffy
outfits relegated to the likes of attorneys,
wait staff and TVnews anchors. Fashion for-
ward sometimes goes fashion sideways, ca-
reening over the embankment of good taste
and down the slippery slope to sloppy.
It looks likes people just dont care any-
more. People are very sloppy, said Arman-
do Osorio, 35, of Berkeley, Calif., who li-
kenedcurrent styletothebefore looks ona

Pajamas in public, torn jeans the new norm

A casually dressed man is seen in
Union Square in San Francisco.
Pajama pants and other casual fashions are a growing trend. These shoppers
are seen in Union Square.
Shorts, tights, boots and a faux fur
jacket make for an interesting outfit.

ings or funerals but has definitely
noticed an influx of jeans and
even sneakers.
It depends onthe values of the
individual, and over the years
those values have shifted, so you
will see changes like this, she
said.
One place where sweatpants
have been popping up more is at
church, as witnessed by Monsig-
nor Joseph Rauscher of Saint Ni-
cholas Roman Catholic Church
in Wilkes-Barre. He agrees with
Corcoran that casual clothing is
attributable to face-paced life-
styles.
People dont have as much
time to be formal, he said. It
would certainly be nice if people
were a little more careful about
some of their clothing, but hon-
estly, Im just happy that theyre
in church. Sometimes they may
not look appropriate, but I would
rather them be there than not.
Society as a whole has become
more accommodating of the ca-
sual look.
The perception of customers
has changed, Gary Edwards,
chef and owner of Fire and Ice in
Trucksville, said. For the most
part theyre more accepting of
what others are wearing.
I believe it also depends on
the venue, especially when it
comes to restaurants. For us, we
have many different menu items.
You can come in and grab a salad
and some pizza, or you can sit
down and have lobster. We have a
varietyof menuitems, andwesee
a wide variety of the way custom-
ers dress as a result.
The word is comfort, Helene
Runco of the Broadway Theatre
League of Scranton said. Some
feel as comfortable in a suit as
others feel in jeans and sneakers.
We have become more accepting
of this type of individuality.
Jeans, to me, are dressing up,
Amy Dickerson, marketing direc-
tor at the Scranton Cultural Cen-
ter said. I have my pair of nice
jeans that I wear out. I wear dres-
sy clothes to work every day, so
when I go out on the weekends I
want to be comfortable.
Is it possible, though, that
dressing up could make a come-
back? If the way 5-year-old Mor-
gan Masulis of Pittston likes to
outfit herself is any indication,
the next generation might just
bring fancy dress back.
She will never wear pants,
Morgans mother, Katie, said.
Its always been that way; I have
no idea why.
Morgan has a simple explana-
tion:
Dressing up this way is fun,
she said. I just like to.
Morgan hasnt embraced the
princess trend, in the form of
gowns or tiaras, but her everyday
wardrobe generally consists of
skirts and tights, forget the jeans.
A casual observer of todays
young girls might decide dress-
ing up is back and so are girly
girls, as party dresses and tights
and pretty shoes are increasingly
spotted outside of formal affairs,
but perhaps only time will tell.
When those of Morgans genera-
tion and mindset grow up and
make their own trends, maybe
well see a societal shift.
Until then, the firmly casual
will continue to ask: Who am I
hurting?
No one, Deborah Cohen, 38,
of Wilkes-Barre said as she shop-
ped at Wal-Mart recently in Phil-
lies pajama pants, sneakers and a
sweatshirt. Im looking to be
comfortable, not impress some-
body.

Five-year-old Morgan Masulis
loves dresses and dressing up,
on an everyday basis.
but neatly for his job at a lum-
ber company. But when he steps
out on the weekends, its J. Crew
for casual anda suit or sport coat
for special events. Yeah, it takes
a little effort to look nice. And
thats the problem, he said. We
have become way, way, way too
lazy.
To be sure, clothing choice de-
pends on the occasion or line of
work. Youdlookloonywearinga
suit to a beach party or repairing
a car. And casual wear isnt in-
herently bad. Its less stuffy,
theres room for more creativity
and individuality than in dec-
ades past, and its hands-down
much more comfortable at the
office.
But those still nursing a small
flame at the shrine of style say
its disappointing to see more
and more holey jeans at the sym-
phony and chic restaurants.
I find it sad to see people in
jeans at the theater, said Mi-
chael Pagan, general manager
for Harry Dentons Starlight
Roomatop the Sir Francis Drake
hotel in San Francisco, a place
where it was once expected for
guests todress upfor anight out.
But now?
Someone in a suit certainly
wouldnt be out of place here,
but youd be surprised at what
people wear, Pagan said. Tour-
ists youcanunderstand. Theyve
been on a long flight, so they
come in wearing shorts and
stuff. But even people out for the
night clubgirls dress upinthe
Kim Kardashian kind of little
dresses, but at the same time
youll get the soccer-mom type,
almost to the point of wearing
sweats, carrying backpacks, bad
hair. The trend has gone way
down for style.
One venue where common-
sense fashion should surely rule
the day is in a court of law. But
on some doors at Wiley Manuel
courthouse in Oakland, Calif.,
there are signs reading: NO
shorts; NO tank tops or tube
tops; NO pajama pants/sweats;
NO exposed stomachs.
If Perry Mason were alive
and real this would probably
kill him.
Defendants dont care any-
more. For some, its no different
than going to McDonalds, said
Superior Court Judge Larry
Goodman, who has presided
over criminal cases for 29 years.
He prefers a casual look himself,
opting for golf shirts and khakis
under his robes to put jurors at
ease, he said. But theres casual,
and then theres his pet peeve:
people in saggy pants. I told a
guy the other day, Youre al-
ready on probation and you
come in my courtroomlike that?
I dont need to see your under-
wear.
Etiquette and public speaking
coach Holly Rauser of Morgan
Hill (www.ConsiderEti-
quette.com) says inappropriate
dressing is a signof a breakdown
in respect, for oneself and oth-
ers.
The Me Generation has be-
come the Age of Rudeness, she
said. We have overdone the self-
esteemmovement andforgotten
to teach that other people have
worth, too. We need to treat oth-
ers with the respect that we our-
selves demand.
In some cases, people feel em-
barrassed for looking good. Sue
Fox, anetiquette expert inPleas-
anton, Calif., (www.Etiquette-
Survival.com) and author of
Etiquette for Dummies, re-
cently had a woman shop clerk
actually apologize for being too
dressed up because shed just
come from a funeral. When did
dressing nicely become some-
thingyouhave toapologize for?
Fox asked.
Indeed, the rules governing
fashion decorum have become
increasingly less stringent over
the decades, notably in men-
swear, said style maven Dyanna
Dawson, who blogs about San
Francisco and New York street
fashion (www.TheSF-
Style.com). A lot of men will
wear jeans and casual shoes to
their 9-to-5, and thats great,
she said. But some of her male
friends here say they feel odd-
manout if they ever dare wear a
suit to work.
The casual look has allowed
for more freedom of self-expres-
sion in the ways people choose
to dress, Dawson said. But the
flip side is people who feel like
theydbe ostracizedinsome way
for dressing too well.
Fox says research shows peo-
ple behave better when theyre
dressed up. And it doesnt have
to be expensive clothes, she
said. Just acleanironedshirt for
a dinner party or a job interview,
tuckedinto nice slacks. Howyou
dress, groom yourself and han-
dle yourself in public are all part
of your packaging. Yes, you
should wear what you like, but
just because you love wearing
shorts and sports sandals
doesnt mean that you should
wear them to the opera in the
city.
While its been trendy the past
few years for high-school kids to
wear pajama pants to class,
some schools around the coun-
try have banned the trend. And
in Shreveport, La., Commission-
er Michael Williams receivedna-
tional attention in January for
proposing an ordinance outlaw-
ing the wearing of pajamas in
public, for students or adults.
The moral fiber in America is
dwindling away, Williams was
quoted as saying in the Wall
Street Journal. Its pajamas to-
day; what is it going to be tomor-
row? Walking around in your un-
derwear?
Perhaps all is not lost. Even
some high-school kids shun the
too cool to care look amid the
PJ trend. It can be a signal of
carelessness ... and it doesnt put
meintheright educational or so-
cial mindset, saidShalaka Gole,
16, a student at California High
School in San Ramon, Calif. I
normally dont pass judgment
on others who wear pajamas to
school to each their own,
right? But however much my
friends try to get me to wear
sweats in public, to put down
my attire guard for one day, I
never will.
CASUAL
Continued from Page 1C
Many people try to avoid pass-
ing judgment too quickly, but at
first meetings, they inevitably
assess other people by how they
look. Ask yourself these ques-
tions:
Does your work wardrobe help
you present a confident, well-
groomed image?
Are the clothes suitable for the
type of work you do (or want to
do)?
Do you have clothes that can
take you from work to a social
engagement?
And remember, first impres-
sions are lasting impressions. So
dress the part.

quette for Dummies.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Im writ-
ing to respond to the
letter from the moth-
er of the 12-year-old
boy whose grand-
mother cant spell
his name right. (His
Name Is Joe!; Jan.
4). The same thing happened to my
husband. His grandmother spells his
name with a C instead of a K. I have
always put K on our cards and letters
to her, but I think at her age shes
stuck in her habit.
Once she sent my husband a beau-
tiful silver money clip for which she
had spent several hundred dollars.
She had it engraved with the wrong
initials including the C. Shes such
a sweet, lovely woman that I insisted
he never make reference to the cor-
rect spelling of his name again. En-
graved items can rarely be returned,
and I knew how hurt shed be know-
ing she had spelled his name wrong.
He called and thanked her profusely
for such a generous gift, and weve
never brought up the matter since.
Anne in Texas
Dear Anne: Thank you for writing. I
guessed that the grandmother might
not have been pleased with the name
the boy had been given. Other read-
ers also had hunches about why the
grandmother would continue to mis-
spell it. Their comments:
Dear Abby: I suspect that Grandma
doesnt like that particular spelling of
the childs name. These days people
have come up with unusual spellings
for common names. Instead of Rebec-
ca, you have Rebekka. For Ashley, you
have Ashlee, Ashleigh and Ashli. Kar-
en can now be Caryn or Caren. This
makes it especially difficult for any-
one with an unusually spelled name.
You can bet that no one will get it
right. So I imagine this is Grandmas
way of expressing her disapproval of
the spelling of the childs name.
Only the Spelling Has Been
Changed
Dear Abby: My sweet grandmother
misspelled my name every time she
wrote to us. She had only a third-
grade education, raised four girls
alone after her husband died and con-
tinued to maintain the family farm.
She wrote with a pencil that was
sharpened with a knife and spelled
my name Karen the way it
sounded to her, Kron. I was never
insulted. I always laughed about the
fact that it looked as if my name were
that of a cave person.
Of course, I knew she loved me
unconditionally. Maybe that is why
HNIJ seems to have a problem
with her sons grandmother. Could it
be she feels Grandma doesnt show
enough love to the boy?
Cave Woman Kron
Dear Abby: My late mother and my
father-in-law both misspelled my
childrens names. Mom even took
liberties with MY name after I was
married. I dont think either one was
sending me a message. They just
werent familiar with the particular
spelling.
HNIJ should give Grandma a
framed photo of her grandson with
his name (and date of birth, maybe)
on a label at the bottom. Seeing his
name daily may be all the woman
needs to learn the correct spelling.

favorite lists.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A com-
pulsive sense of urgency com-
pels you to achieve more in less
time. But is this sense of hurry
really necessary? Its not so
good for your heart. Try to take
things slow.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You wont
be content to know that you did
your best unless your best was
enough to get the job done. You
wont be happy until you know
that you did what it took to get
the job done.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Its
been said that your life cant go
according to plan if you have
no plan. Its also been said that
when you make a plan, the gods
laugh. Youll see a little of both.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes
what you would like to do is not
actually the most important
thing, and thats why it never
fits properly into your schedule.
Trust that you always have time
for what you think is important.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You like to be thought of as a
considerate person. You have no
interest in being taken advan-
tage of by those who cant
appreciate the thought you put
into relationships.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll be
making notes to self all day. It
will help you to write them down,
or youre likely to forget. Writing
helps you mentally organize
yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youre
onto something; you just dont
know what it is quite yet. Look at
what youve covered and where
youre going next. Record and
explore new ideas. Be patient,
and allow yourself to drift.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You want to inspire others like
you have been inspired by the
greats. Living well is the key.
Your life will be more of an
inspiration than your words ever
could be.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youll be taking yet another
chance. This one might not be
much of a risk in any way except
perhaps emotionally. Better to
try to do something and fail than
to try to do nothing and succeed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
have a feisty spirit, and you like
to say the kind of funny things
that make people wonder wheth-
er or not youre really kidding.
Probably even you wont know
the answer to that question.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your
creativity will be strengthened
by a lackadaisical attitude toward
rules and structure. Later, youll
have to get with the so-called
program, but for now youre
better off doing your own thing.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 8).
You havent a clue whats com-
ing, and the surprise of that
makes life interesting for you
this year. A fantastic new circle
of friends will celebrate your
ideas and support your plans.
September is your time to invest
deeply in your own dream.
Aquarius and Sagittarius people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 5, 21, 24, 40 and 19.
